0:00:05 > 0:00:09The Nektons are good people, Proteus.

0:00:09 > 0:00:10Perhaps.

0:00:10 > 0:00:12But they are not ready for the revelations

0:00:12 > 0:00:14contained in the Chronicle of the Deep.

0:00:14 > 0:00:17They cannot read Lemurian.

0:00:17 > 0:00:20And yet still they piece together clues.

0:00:20 > 0:00:22They stumble upon discoveries.

0:00:22 > 0:00:27And in so doing, they demonstrate that they are our greatest hope.

0:00:27 > 0:00:30Or our greatest problem.

0:00:30 > 0:00:33There are secrets we guard with our lives, Nereus.

0:00:33 > 0:00:34Don't forget that.

0:00:34 > 0:00:36Let them prove themselves.

0:00:38 > 0:00:39How?

0:00:39 > 0:00:41The Ephemychron.

0:00:41 > 0:00:45Impossible. The area is too dangerous. Too impassable.

0:00:45 > 0:00:47No-one's been able to find it.

0:00:47 > 0:00:51No. They haven't. Consider it a test.

0:00:51 > 0:00:56And so they fail like everyone else. What does that prove?

0:00:56 > 0:00:58But what if they succeed?

0:01:01 > 0:01:04Dad, what do you think these symbols mean?

0:01:04 > 0:01:07I don't know. But they look familiar.

0:01:07 > 0:01:09They remind me of...something.

0:01:09 > 0:01:12Something I saw in the scroll we found.

0:01:15 > 0:01:18Uh... Where is the scroll?

0:01:18 > 0:01:19What?!

0:01:19 > 0:01:21It's... di...did you...?

0:01:21 > 0:01:24Uh, no way. I don't know the password.

0:01:24 > 0:01:26Secure the Aronnax! We have an intruder on board.

0:01:26 > 0:01:29Repeat, we have an intruder!

0:01:30 > 0:01:34My family are explorers. We have been for generations.

0:01:34 > 0:01:36While others look up to the stars,

0:01:36 > 0:01:38we know there are an infinite number of things that

0:01:38 > 0:01:40shine in the darkness below.

0:01:40 > 0:01:43There are things lurking in the seas that long ago vanished into myth.

0:01:43 > 0:01:46My family are explorers. And we explore...

0:01:46 > 0:01:48The deep!

0:02:09 > 0:02:13No sign of anyone on the security cameras.

0:02:16 > 0:02:17Hello?

0:02:19 > 0:02:21SNARLING

0:02:21 > 0:02:24Mum, Dad, there's something in the docking bay.

0:02:24 > 0:02:25What is it, Ant?

0:02:25 > 0:02:28I don't know. I can hear...

0:02:28 > 0:02:30- growling.- Be careful.

0:02:38 > 0:02:39HE GASPS

0:02:41 > 0:02:43Nereus?

0:02:43 > 0:02:45Hello? Mr Nereus...?

0:02:45 > 0:02:50Mm... Hm? Uh... Oh... Antaeus Nekton. What, er,

0:02:50 > 0:02:52what are you doing here?

0:02:52 > 0:02:55Er, I live here. What are you doing here?

0:02:55 > 0:02:57How'd you get in?

0:02:57 > 0:02:59You broke in...

0:02:59 > 0:03:00I knocked. No-one answered.

0:03:00 > 0:03:02I opened the hatch.

0:03:02 > 0:03:03But we have alarms.

0:03:03 > 0:03:06Hm. Then perhaps they need upgrading.

0:03:06 > 0:03:07Then you stole our scroll.

0:03:07 > 0:03:09Borrowed your scroll.

0:03:09 > 0:03:12That's true, Dad. If he took it, you wouldn't have it, would you?

0:03:12 > 0:03:15I just want to know how you opened my safe, Nereus.

0:03:15 > 0:03:18Change your password, William.

0:03:18 > 0:03:21And this time, don't use the name of a toy I gave you

0:03:21 > 0:03:22when you were six years old.

0:03:24 > 0:03:27You knew him...when you were little?

0:03:27 > 0:03:29I remember my parents had a friend.

0:03:30 > 0:03:32You used to be taller.

0:03:32 > 0:03:34And you used to be shorter.

0:03:34 > 0:03:36Ah, please?

0:03:39 > 0:03:42This scroll is called The Chronicle of the Deep.

0:03:42 > 0:03:44It's very old.

0:03:44 > 0:03:47And I wanted to check something I saw in it years ago.

0:03:47 > 0:03:50There was a mystery that intrigued me when I was younger.

0:03:50 > 0:03:52We love mysteries! I live for mysteries!

0:03:52 > 0:03:55Is this one really mysterious? Or just slightly mysterious?

0:03:55 > 0:03:58It's all about the Ephemychron...

0:03:58 > 0:04:02"Ephemychron" - excellent! Great word!

0:04:02 > 0:04:03And that's an Ephemychron?

0:04:03 > 0:04:05Yes. Well, no!

0:04:05 > 0:04:07It's a symbol.

0:04:07 > 0:04:12This is a navigational computer, used by Lemurian sailors.

0:04:12 > 0:04:166,000 years ago? It can't be a computer.

0:04:16 > 0:04:18Oh, can't it?

0:04:20 > 0:04:24The Ephemychron could calculate a course - based on the stars

0:04:24 > 0:04:28and markers placed in certain locations across the globe.

0:04:28 > 0:04:30We've seen some!

0:04:30 > 0:04:34Exactly. Using that combination of information,

0:04:34 > 0:04:37Lemurians could find their way to almost anywhere in the world,

0:04:37 > 0:04:39and back home.

0:04:39 > 0:04:40Home?

0:04:40 > 0:04:44This Ephemychron could be used to find Lemuria?

0:04:44 > 0:04:45HE GROANS

0:04:45 > 0:04:48I think Dad might need to sit down.

0:04:48 > 0:04:52I came looking for a piece of the Ephemychron 40 years ago.

0:04:52 > 0:04:54I failed in that test.

0:04:55 > 0:04:57Ah, hello, Jeffrey.

0:04:57 > 0:05:00What? How do you know the name of Ant's fish?

0:05:00 > 0:05:03Lucky guess. Now, if you'll turn to the screen...

0:05:05 > 0:05:07You know how to use our equipment?

0:05:07 > 0:05:08I seem to have a knack.

0:05:08 > 0:05:12A piece of the Ephemychron is believed to be here

0:05:12 > 0:05:15somewhere in these reefs.

0:05:15 > 0:05:17Do you think you could find it?

0:05:17 > 0:05:20I've dedicated my life to finding Lemuria.

0:05:20 > 0:05:22If that thing is here, we'll find it. Trust me.

0:05:24 > 0:05:26Ant and Fontaine, we'll take Knights...

0:05:27 > 0:05:29And...you've already taken them.

0:05:30 > 0:05:35Be careful. A Lemurian ship sank here eons ago.

0:05:35 > 0:05:36These waters are treacherous.

0:05:36 > 0:05:39Which is why we're using the Knights.

0:05:39 > 0:05:42Nothing else can fit inside that maze of coral.

0:05:43 > 0:05:45Keep an eye on Nereus.

0:05:45 > 0:05:46Don't worry. I will.

0:05:49 > 0:05:51Watch the currents here, Ant.

0:05:51 > 0:05:53Ha! I'm in a hi-tech Shadow Knight, Fontaine.

0:05:53 > 0:05:56The currents will be watching me.

0:05:56 > 0:05:59OK. Fontaine, set your metal detector for maximum range.

0:05:59 > 0:06:04Ant, report any magnetic anomalies. Let's go.

0:06:08 > 0:06:10You used the word "test".

0:06:10 > 0:06:11Sorry?

0:06:11 > 0:06:14You said when you came here 40 years ago, that it was a test.

0:06:14 > 0:06:16Did I? How strange.

0:06:17 > 0:06:20You're a guest in our home, Nereus.

0:06:20 > 0:06:22From now on, I want real answers from you.

0:06:22 > 0:06:23Understood.

0:06:25 > 0:06:31I don't like this evasiveness. You don't hide anything.

0:06:31 > 0:06:33Nereus?

0:06:33 > 0:06:34Great.

0:06:40 > 0:06:42I like Nereus.

0:06:42 > 0:06:44What? He's infuriating.

0:06:44 > 0:06:47He's mysterious. I'd like to be mysterious.

0:06:47 > 0:06:50To be mysterious, you need to be able to not talk.

0:06:51 > 0:06:53Hm... That's never going to happen.

0:06:53 > 0:06:57Try and stay close. The current is getting stronger.

0:06:57 > 0:06:59- Whoa!- Whoa!

0:06:59 > 0:07:00These currents are impossible!

0:07:00 > 0:07:03There's suction created through openings in the coral. Whoa!

0:07:03 > 0:07:06Wow...whoa!

0:07:07 > 0:07:09This way!

0:07:09 > 0:07:10Wargh!

0:07:10 > 0:07:13Ah... Oh, no, m-maybe not.

0:07:13 > 0:07:14Whoa!

0:07:14 > 0:07:18Huge suction here. Try to keep below the current.

0:07:18 > 0:07:20I can't!

0:07:20 > 0:07:22Whoa!

0:07:24 > 0:07:25Whoa!

0:07:27 > 0:07:29It's a maelstrom!

0:07:29 > 0:07:32Propulsion to full power! Get out!

0:07:34 > 0:07:36It's too strong!

0:07:38 > 0:07:39Hold on.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41Ant!

0:07:42 > 0:07:44Argh!

0:07:44 > 0:07:46Argh!

0:07:46 > 0:07:48Whoa!

0:07:48 > 0:07:52I'm firing the magnetic anchor cables. Let them hit you.

0:07:54 > 0:07:57Now I'm not going to lose you.

0:08:01 > 0:08:03Wait! Stop there. I've got an idea.

0:08:03 > 0:08:06Part planetary physics, part orbital engine principle.

0:08:06 > 0:08:08Hold on!

0:08:09 > 0:08:11And try not to vomit.

0:08:13 > 0:08:17I get it. Hold on.

0:08:17 > 0:08:20I can...taste...breakfast...

0:08:24 > 0:08:26Woo-hoo-hoo!

0:08:26 > 0:08:29Whoa, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

0:08:29 > 0:08:31Great job, Ant. We made it!

0:08:34 > 0:08:36What are you doing in here?

0:08:36 > 0:08:39Ah! William has a wonderful collection.

0:08:39 > 0:08:42How did you open the safe? Will changed the password.

0:08:42 > 0:08:44Did he? Oh!

0:08:44 > 0:08:46Sorry. My mistake.

0:08:51 > 0:08:54- OVER RADIO:- 'Kaiko?' - Will, do you need assistance?

0:08:54 > 0:08:55'We're fine.

0:08:55 > 0:08:57'But ask Nereus what he knows about a maelstrom that appears

0:08:57 > 0:08:59'out of nowhere.'

0:08:59 > 0:09:00Near the reef?

0:09:00 > 0:09:02Hm. I know it's a very tricky area.

0:09:02 > 0:09:04Tricky?

0:09:04 > 0:09:06- Quite deceptive.- Like you?

0:09:06 > 0:09:08'We're continuing our search.'

0:09:08 > 0:09:10You're sure it's not too dangerous?

0:09:10 > 0:09:12'Finding Lemuria is worth a few risks.'

0:09:12 > 0:09:14True. But be careful.

0:09:22 > 0:09:25Are you picking up anything metallic?

0:09:25 > 0:09:26Nothing so far.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28It's so murky here.

0:09:28 > 0:09:30Like your room? You should feel right at home.

0:09:30 > 0:09:32Ha-ha(!)

0:09:32 > 0:09:33Stay close together.

0:09:36 > 0:09:37Ant?

0:09:37 > 0:09:39Dad?

0:09:39 > 0:09:41Guys, are you there?

0:09:41 > 0:09:43I've lost visual contact.

0:09:43 > 0:09:45You're close together, Fontaine - stay calm.

0:09:48 > 0:09:50Nektons? Are you still there?

0:09:50 > 0:09:53Yes. But I can't see a thing. Sonar is scrambled.

0:09:53 > 0:09:57Hydrophones too. I need to get my bearings here.

0:09:57 > 0:09:58I need to touch something.

0:10:01 > 0:10:04The cables didn't hit anything. But that's impossible.

0:10:04 > 0:10:05We're surrounded by reefs...

0:10:05 > 0:10:07Huh! Nereus?

0:10:07 > 0:10:08I can hear you.

0:10:08 > 0:10:10'We're in an area of zero viz.'

0:10:10 > 0:10:12Ah, yes, I remember.

0:10:12 > 0:10:14'Do you have any ideas?'

0:10:14 > 0:10:18Sometimes, to see clearly, we need to stop looking.

0:10:18 > 0:10:21Sometimes, opening your mouth just to say weird things

0:10:21 > 0:10:23isn't actually helpful!

0:10:23 > 0:10:25I get the impression you know more than you're saying.

0:10:25 > 0:10:27I don't like that, Nereus.

0:10:27 > 0:10:30'If I could help you, I would, William.'

0:10:30 > 0:10:32We need to stop looking...

0:10:32 > 0:10:33What?

0:10:33 > 0:10:35Deactivating propulsion system.

0:10:36 > 0:10:38Ant, what are you doing?

0:10:38 > 0:10:40Maybe seeing isn't important here.

0:10:40 > 0:10:43Just...feeling.

0:10:43 > 0:10:45Yes. The current!

0:10:49 > 0:10:51Hold on, Fontaine. Just float.

0:10:51 > 0:10:53Trust the sea.

0:10:56 > 0:10:58Ant?

0:10:58 > 0:11:01Dad, turn off your engine. Let the current take us.

0:11:10 > 0:11:12I'm going to keep my eyes closed.

0:11:12 > 0:11:14Tell me if you see anything.

0:11:14 > 0:11:16FONTAINE GASPS

0:11:16 > 0:11:19- I can see...- What?

0:11:19 > 0:11:21I don't know but it's something as opposed to all

0:11:21 > 0:11:22the nothing from before.

0:11:22 > 0:11:25Ant, you-you did it!

0:11:25 > 0:11:26We're clear!

0:11:29 > 0:11:31Are there any more surprises ahead, Nereus?

0:11:31 > 0:11:34I don't know. That's where I failed.

0:11:34 > 0:11:36I never made it through there.

0:11:36 > 0:11:39Ant is very clever, isn't he?

0:11:39 > 0:11:40He is.

0:11:40 > 0:11:43You must be very proud of him, Jeffrey.

0:11:47 > 0:11:49Still no sign of anything metallic.

0:11:49 > 0:11:51Are you sure your metal detector is even working?

0:11:51 > 0:11:54This would find a pin at 20 paces, Ant.

0:11:54 > 0:11:56Oh, just asking.

0:11:57 > 0:11:59Oh, look...

0:12:03 > 0:12:04They are so beautiful.

0:12:08 > 0:12:11Huh! Wow... Amazing.

0:12:14 > 0:12:17Huh! Get...off me!

0:12:17 > 0:12:19Fontaine! Argh!

0:12:21 > 0:12:22Dad!

0:12:23 > 0:12:26Get off me!

0:12:26 > 0:12:27My systems are crashing...

0:12:27 > 0:12:29It's sucking up all my power!

0:12:32 > 0:12:34These things... aren't real!

0:12:34 > 0:12:36Ow! Tell that to my bruises.

0:12:36 > 0:12:40I mean, they're not real jellyfish! They're mechanical!

0:12:40 > 0:12:41They're robots!

0:12:43 > 0:12:45Will? What's happening?

0:12:45 > 0:12:47SCREAMING

0:12:47 > 0:12:50If you know what's going on, tell me now, Nereus!

0:12:50 > 0:12:53I really don't know. This is way beyond...

0:12:53 > 0:12:55Beyond what? I need answers now!

0:12:55 > 0:12:58This should not be happening. It's not my doing, Kaiko.

0:12:58 > 0:13:00Please believe that.

0:13:00 > 0:13:02That tells me nothing.

0:13:02 > 0:13:04You'd better hope I get there in time.

0:13:12 > 0:13:15- Hm!- It's Nereus. The Nektons are under attack.

0:13:15 > 0:13:17Go ahead.

0:13:17 > 0:13:20Someone from within has compromised the test.

0:13:20 > 0:13:23Be careful of accusations, Nereus.

0:13:23 > 0:13:27I want you to find out who is responsible and deal with them.

0:13:27 > 0:13:29I'll make enquiries.

0:13:29 > 0:13:31And who was that?

0:13:31 > 0:13:34That...is...a long story.

0:13:34 > 0:13:36You're coming with me.

0:13:36 > 0:13:39And you're telling me this long story very, very quickly.

0:13:39 > 0:13:41Argh!

0:13:45 > 0:13:48Power at 19%.

0:13:48 > 0:13:51Some kind of last-minute rescue would be excellent here.

0:13:51 > 0:13:55Well, seeing as they're robots, I don't feel guilty about doing this!

0:13:58 > 0:14:00Ant, can you hear me?

0:14:01 > 0:14:03Who were you talking to earlier?

0:14:03 > 0:14:07A Guardian. As I said, a long story.

0:14:07 > 0:14:08Slow down now.

0:14:10 > 0:14:12We can't get through that.

0:14:12 > 0:14:15We're not going through. We're going under.

0:14:15 > 0:14:17Under? That's impossible!

0:14:17 > 0:14:21Please trust me, Kaiko. I've been here before.

0:14:21 > 0:14:23This better work.

0:14:23 > 0:14:25Now, get as low as you can.

0:14:25 > 0:14:27Scrape the bottom if you have to...

0:14:42 > 0:14:44Get off me!

0:14:46 > 0:14:47Duck!

0:14:52 > 0:14:54Eh, turn off the engine...

0:14:54 > 0:14:55Let it drift...

0:14:57 > 0:15:00Ant found a way. So can we.

0:15:03 > 0:15:06Uh, life support systems are at 6%...

0:15:06 > 0:15:08If anyone's interested.

0:15:08 > 0:15:10Ugh, and this thing is ugly...

0:15:10 > 0:15:12Get off him!

0:15:12 > 0:15:16Ha! That hum is my suit auto-re-charging!

0:15:16 > 0:15:19Prepare for round two, robo-jellyfish!

0:15:23 > 0:15:25Aw! You took away my round two.

0:15:25 > 0:15:27Are you all right, Antaeus?

0:15:27 > 0:15:29No, I was almost eaten by a robo-jellyfish.

0:15:29 > 0:15:32You could have mentioned that, Nereus.

0:15:32 > 0:15:34Tell us what you really know, Nereus.

0:15:34 > 0:15:37It was supposed to be a simple test.

0:15:37 > 0:15:40Like geography? Cos that's not simple.

0:15:40 > 0:15:42I really believed you could find it.

0:15:42 > 0:15:44The piece of the Ephemychron?

0:15:45 > 0:15:48Someone doesn't want you to find it.

0:15:48 > 0:15:50You lied to us.

0:15:50 > 0:15:52No, I didn't lie.

0:15:52 > 0:15:55But I...I didn't tell you the entire truth.

0:15:55 > 0:15:58That's the same thing. Just tell us the truth.

0:15:58 > 0:16:00I...

0:16:00 > 0:16:04We can't trust this place - or this man. We're leaving.

0:16:04 > 0:16:05But...the Ephemychron!

0:16:05 > 0:16:08As much as I want it, there are more important things,

0:16:08 > 0:16:10and this place isn't safe.

0:16:10 > 0:16:12Come on, let's go home.

0:16:16 > 0:16:20Important lesson. Some adventures just fizzle out.

0:16:20 > 0:16:22Huh?

0:16:24 > 0:16:26Give me a sec, I'll be right there.

0:16:34 > 0:16:36Wow.

0:16:38 > 0:16:39Uh...

0:16:39 > 0:16:41Where's Ant gone?

0:16:41 > 0:16:43Quickly! Turn back!

0:16:43 > 0:16:46Spread out and turn scanners to maximum sensitivity.

0:16:46 > 0:16:48He couldn't have gone far.

0:16:49 > 0:16:53So cool! This is why no-one's been able to find it.

0:16:53 > 0:16:57That strange barrier has been hiding everything lost in this area.

0:16:57 > 0:16:59The lost ship! Wow!

0:17:04 > 0:17:06Whoa!

0:17:10 > 0:17:13Whoa! Is that what I think it is?

0:17:13 > 0:17:17No way! I found a piece of the Ephemychron!

0:17:17 > 0:17:19Ant, where are you? Please respond.

0:17:19 > 0:17:22It's OK, Mom. I'm in.

0:17:22 > 0:17:24I've found the piece of Ephemychron.

0:17:24 > 0:17:26Yes, but where are you, Antaeus?

0:17:28 > 0:17:30HE GROANS

0:17:30 > 0:17:31Get off me!

0:17:31 > 0:17:33Where exactly are you, Ant?

0:17:33 > 0:17:36Ugh! I'm under you...

0:17:36 > 0:17:38Huh?

0:17:39 > 0:17:41Oh, gross!

0:17:43 > 0:17:45Thrusters, full power.

0:17:45 > 0:17:47Got to break free from this sticky.

0:17:47 > 0:17:48Whoa.

0:17:51 > 0:17:54Anyone there? Cause I could really use some help down here!

0:17:54 > 0:17:56What is your location?

0:17:56 > 0:17:59If he's under us, why can't we see him?

0:17:59 > 0:18:03Sometimes, to see clearly, we need to stop looking.

0:18:03 > 0:18:06Yeah, you said that already and Ant's still missing.

0:18:06 > 0:18:08You got any better ideas?

0:18:08 > 0:18:10Close your eyes!

0:18:11 > 0:18:14What are you doing? Give me the controls back, now!

0:18:14 > 0:18:15We're going to hit!

0:18:15 > 0:18:17Don't look!

0:18:17 > 0:18:18Nereus, no!

0:18:22 > 0:18:24Mom!

0:18:24 > 0:18:27There he is! Ant, we're coming.

0:18:29 > 0:18:32Talk about leaving it till the last minute!

0:18:32 > 0:18:34Hold on tight.

0:18:43 > 0:18:45Kaiko!

0:18:45 > 0:18:47- Ant!- You all right?

0:18:47 > 0:18:51I am now. Thanks to Nereus charging in like a guardian angel...

0:18:51 > 0:18:53Or just...a Guardian?

0:18:53 > 0:18:55Uh, we...make a good team.

0:18:55 > 0:18:56Look...

0:18:59 > 0:19:02And my metal detector still doesn't detect it.

0:19:02 > 0:19:04How is that still possible?

0:19:04 > 0:19:06An unknown alloy?

0:19:06 > 0:19:09Antaeus, no-one has ever found that wreck-site.

0:19:09 > 0:19:11How did you do it?

0:19:11 > 0:19:13I wasn't even looking. It was like...

0:19:13 > 0:19:15Like it found me.

0:19:15 > 0:19:16It found you...

0:19:16 > 0:19:18Of course it did.

0:19:18 > 0:19:22I apologise for my impulsiveness with the Rover.

0:19:22 > 0:19:25But someone does not want you to have this.

0:19:25 > 0:19:27Therefore...

0:19:27 > 0:19:30You're giving it to Ant? Why?

0:19:30 > 0:19:32He found it. Many others have failed.

0:19:34 > 0:19:36Studying this will keep me busy for months.

0:19:36 > 0:19:39It's part of the key to everything, William.

0:19:39 > 0:19:43The other pieces of the Ephemychron - where are they?

0:19:43 > 0:19:47Ah, well, you see... I've got no idea.

0:19:47 > 0:19:49But I have faith you'll find them.

0:19:49 > 0:19:51What?

0:19:51 > 0:19:52You expected a straight answer?

0:19:52 > 0:19:54Why start now?

0:19:55 > 0:20:00I was unsuccessful. The identity of the saboteur remains a mystery.

0:20:00 > 0:20:01A pity.

0:20:01 > 0:20:04I assume you left no stone unturned?

0:20:04 > 0:20:07Remember, you are no longer head of the Guardians, Nereus.

0:20:07 > 0:20:10Do not question my integrity.

0:20:10 > 0:20:14I have an enquiring mind. I like finding answers.

0:20:14 > 0:20:15It's my nature.

0:20:15 > 0:20:20If we do have a traitor in our organization, I will find them.

0:20:20 > 0:20:24But be careful, Nereus. Some answers can be dangerous.

0:20:24 > 0:20:26For me?

0:20:26 > 0:20:27Or the Nektons?

0:20:27 > 0:20:29Perhaps both.
