How about we call it "Anteosaurus"?

0:00:020:00:05

-FONTAINE SIGHS

-Ignore him, Agnes. Can I touch it?

0:00:050:00:08

Why not? I have.

0:00:080:00:09

Anteosaurus is a great name for a dinosaur, eh?

0:00:110:00:15

Strong. Powerful.

0:00:150:00:17

Agnes, you're the one who found a whole new dinosaur species -

0:00:170:00:21

you deserve to call it whatever you want.

0:00:210:00:23

I can't help thinking you have a suggestion.

0:00:230:00:25

Hmm... "Willosaurus" has a certain ring.

0:00:250:00:28

DISTANT SCREECHING

0:00:280:00:30

Uh, bats?

0:00:300:00:32

No-one mentioned bats.

0:00:320:00:34

Relax. Bats only attack the smallest perso...

0:00:340:00:38

Oh wait, that would be you.

0:00:380:00:40

Humph... Huh?

0:00:400:00:41

-ALL:

-Whoa! Aargh!

0:00:410:00:43

Will!

0:00:430:00:44

-Dad!

-Ant! Stop right there!

0:00:450:00:47

Come back from the edge - it could collapse again!

0:00:470:00:49

-Uh, but...!

-Come back from the edge now, Ant!

0:00:490:00:54

Aargh!

0:00:550:00:56

DAD!

0:00:590:01:01

My family are explorers. We have been for generations.

0:01:010:01:05

While others look up to the stars,

0:01:050:01:06

we know there are an infinite number of things that

0:01:060:01:08

shine in the darkness below.

0:01:080:01:11

There are things lurking in the seas that long ago vanished into myth.

0:01:110:01:14

My family are explorers,

0:01:140:01:16

and we explore...the deep!

0:01:160:01:19

-Mom?

-What are we going to do?

0:01:290:01:31

Come on, Will.

0:01:310:01:34

I think I see something!

0:01:340:01:36

WILL AND AGNES GASP FOR BREATH

0:01:360:01:37

Dad!

0:01:370:01:39

-AGNES COUGHS

-I should have...warned you

0:01:390:01:42

when you arrived... Unstable ground.

0:01:420:01:44

The stream ends at this sinkhole,

0:01:470:01:49

and the sinkhole keeps getting bigger.

0:01:490:01:52

At really inconvenient times.

0:01:530:01:55

So the water flows down, through a cave system,

0:01:550:01:59

and emerges somewhere out there near the Aronnax.

0:01:590:02:01

I'm hoping the rest of the fossils are down in the caves.

0:02:010:02:05

With your underwater exploration experience,

0:02:050:02:07

and all your cool gear, I thought, "Perfect!"

0:02:070:02:10

I'll accept we're very good. Maybe not perfect.

0:02:100:02:13

My brother has modesty issues.

0:02:130:02:16

But, now, I'm not so sure. It might be too dangerous.

0:02:160:02:20

One way to find out...

0:02:200:02:22

By playing golf?

0:02:230:02:25

These are Pingers. They're 3-D sonar mappers.

0:02:250:02:28

They'll float through the caves on the current, map them,

0:02:280:02:30

emerge into the sea, and return to the Aronnax.

0:02:300:02:33

See? Told you - you've got cool gear!

0:02:330:02:36

Perfect!

0:02:360:02:37

Plenty of room to get around in the first two caves...

0:02:500:02:53

But, see, here, where it vents into the sea,

0:02:530:02:55

that's a very small opening.

0:02:550:02:57

It's even too small for a Knight.

0:02:570:02:59

OK, we'll swim in from the top.

0:02:590:03:01

Look, right there.

0:03:010:03:03

Are those...fossils?

0:03:030:03:04

Maybe just debris. But we'll find out for sure when we dive.

0:03:040:03:10

The last Pinger, Jeffrey! And back where it belongs,

0:03:100:03:12

in my brand-new, totally amphibious Knight!

0:03:120:03:15

I call it...The Swamp Knight!

0:03:150:03:17

Eh?

0:03:190:03:20

Your lack of enthusiasm is noted.

0:03:220:03:24

Ah, right - you're hungry.

0:03:250:03:28

Have you ever known me not to carry fish food?

0:03:280:03:31

Ant? Here - a new hi-tech, super-neoprene, utility-wet-suit.

0:03:360:03:40

ANT LAUGHS AWKWARDLY Look... it's not

0:03:400:03:42

that I don't appreciate it... but I kind of like my...

0:03:420:03:44

You've outgrown that one. And, confidentially...

0:03:440:03:46

-SHE SNIFFS

-..it smells.

0:03:460:03:48

-Change.

-Mom, please! I'm not a child!

0:03:480:03:51

I'm almost legally considered an adult in Zanjakistan.

0:03:510:03:54

-You made up that country, didn't you?

-I...

0:03:540:03:56

WILL SIGHS Changing right now.

0:03:560:03:58

Ugh! New suit...itchy. Ugh!

0:03:580:04:01

Get used to it. The old one's in the recycling bin.

0:04:010:04:04

Aw...

0:04:040:04:05

What's the light source?

0:04:170:04:18

Not sure. Let's check it out.

0:04:180:04:20

Wow...

0:04:250:04:26

Thousands of glow-worms.

0:04:270:04:29

Now there's something you don't see every day.

0:04:290:04:33

The glow is their way of saying to predators, "Don't eat me,

0:04:330:04:36

"I'm poisonous."

0:04:360:04:37

No predators here. Not even Fontaine!

0:04:370:04:39

BATS SCREECHING

0:04:390:04:43

Hmm. They're reacting to that bat-sonar sound.

0:04:430:04:47

But...bats can't get down here, can they?

0:04:470:04:50

-Lie down! Flat!

-Aargh!

0:04:500:04:52

Ant, they're coming back!

0:04:560:04:58

Aargh!

0:04:580:04:59

FONTAINE SNIGGERS

0:04:590:05:02

Bats are no joking matter!

0:05:020:05:03

Ant, behind you...

0:05:030:05:05

I am not falling for the same thing twice.

0:05:050:05:08

Well, not after all those other times.

0:05:080:05:10

Ant...turn around.

0:05:100:05:12

Whoa-ho-ho!

0:05:160:05:18

Agnes is going to love this.

0:05:250:05:27

So, based on these bones,

0:05:280:05:29

this species would've been 12 meters long?

0:05:290:05:32

At least!

0:05:320:05:33

Excellent! I look forward to dating it on our mass spectrometer.

0:05:330:05:37

It's on its way, Professor.

0:05:390:05:41

Fantastic!

0:05:410:05:43

Done. I'll wait onboard for his reply.

0:05:430:05:45

I'll head back to shore to collect the rest of the fossils.

0:05:450:05:48

Yeah!

0:05:500:05:52

Ha-ha!

0:05:560:05:57

Kaiko, we've arrived at the dig site. We shouldn't be too long.

0:06:090:06:12

Over and out.

0:06:120:06:13

OK. Let's gather some more bones.

0:06:210:06:23

FONTAINE SNIFFS

0:06:260:06:30

Is that your old suit?

0:06:300:06:32

Shh. It's not an old suit...

0:06:320:06:34

it's an old friend.

0:06:340:06:35

It just...feels right. We got history together.

0:06:350:06:38

Gah! It smells like fish food.

0:06:380:06:41

No need to insult it.

0:06:410:06:43

My old friend and I are going

0:06:430:06:44

to see if any bones have washed into the next cave.

0:06:440:06:47

Kaiko? Ha-ha-ha-ha! Oh, you really had me going there.

0:06:500:06:55

What are you talking about?

0:06:550:06:56

I was actually excited, and then I ran the test.

0:06:560:06:59

Hilarious! Those fossils - they're not old at all!

0:06:590:07:02

What do you mean they're not old?

0:07:020:07:04

Igneous rock, down here?

0:07:170:07:19

Uh, basalt...?

0:07:190:07:21

Agnes - your fossils aren't ancient. 50 years, maximum.

0:07:210:07:26

How disappointing.

0:07:260:07:27

The high mineral content in the water must have prematurely

0:07:270:07:30

petrified the bones.

0:07:300:07:32

Huh? ANT SNIFFS

0:07:330:07:35

Hmm, that's not basalt.

0:07:350:07:37

Agnes, if these fossils aren't ancient then...

0:07:370:07:40

those things could still be alive!

0:07:400:07:42

But, it's way too big to be an...

0:07:420:07:46

Uh...

0:07:460:07:47

Huh?

0:07:480:07:51

CREATURE SCREECHES Aargh!

CREATURE GROWLS

0:07:550:08:00

Come on!

0:08:000:08:01

CREATURE SCREECHES OK. I'll just be...very still.

0:08:010:08:05

And you...can just...stay!

0:08:050:08:07

CREATURE SCREECHES

0:08:070:08:09

Sorry. That's a little bright for you, isn't it?

0:08:090:08:11

CREATURE SCREECHES Aargh!

0:08:110:08:13

Close enough.

0:08:130:08:14

Ah!

0:08:140:08:15

Aargh!

0:08:150:08:17

Ugh, come on!

0:08:170:08:18

CREATURE SQUEALS

0:08:180:08:20

OK...now part of growing up is learning what's food

0:08:200:08:23

and what's not food.

0:08:230:08:25

And I...am not food, OK?

0:08:250:08:27

CREATURE SQUEALS

CREATURE PURRS

0:08:300:08:32

0:08:320:08:35

You think I'm your mother.

0:08:350:08:37

CREATURE CHIRPS

0:08:370:08:38

We won't tell Jeffrey.

0:08:380:08:41

CREATURE PURRS

0:08:410:08:42

'Welcome to the Swamp Knight - your new, totally amphibious Knight.

0:08:460:08:50

'Unlike other Knights, the Swamp Knight can walk on land.

0:08:500:08:53

'It's perfect for boggy marshes, cave exploring...'

0:08:530:08:56

That's exactly why I'm choosing it!

0:08:560:08:58

I don't need explanations, Artificial Ant!

0:08:580:09:01

But I will be asking the real you to explain THIS.

0:09:010:09:04

Wow. This place is truly amazing!

0:09:060:09:10

You realise no-one, and I mean no-one, has ever seen this.

0:09:100:09:15

Other explorers?

0:09:150:09:16

-Nope.

-Cavemen?

0:09:160:09:18

-WILL CHUCKLES

-Doubtful.

0:09:180:09:21

CREATURE CHIRPS Uh, now I'm...going this way,

0:09:210:09:24

and you should go... CREATURE SNIFFS ANT

0:09:240:09:26

Wait a minute, is that why you're following me?

0:09:260:09:28

You can smell fish food?

0:09:280:09:30

Erm, hang on...

0:09:300:09:31

I always have some...somewhere. CREATURE GROWLS EXCITEDLY

0:09:310:09:34

Yeah, yeah...hang on.

0:09:340:09:35

Ah! Here...

0:09:350:09:36

It's not much, but it's high in amino acids and vitamins... Whoa!

0:09:380:09:41

Healthy appetite...

0:09:410:09:43

Sorry, little guy - I'm out.

0:09:430:09:44

CREATURE SQUEALS

0:09:440:09:46

Whoa!

0:09:460:09:47

'The Swamp Knight has extra-thick armour,

0:09:470:09:49

'extra storage compartments...

0:09:490:09:51

'and extra strength!'

0:09:510:09:52

Extra strength is just what I'll need.

0:09:520:09:55

Ant! This thing is too powerful. It's complete overkill!

0:09:570:10:00

-Ugh!

-'Of course, this extra strength

0:10:000:10:03

'should be taken into account in everyday operation.'

0:10:030:10:07

Whoa!

0:10:070:10:08

'We wouldn't want any accidents.'

0:10:100:10:12

Whoa! We're going the wrong way!

0:10:120:10:15

-There you are.

-ANT LAUGHS NERVOUSLY

0:10:190:10:21

What?

0:10:210:10:22

I've got...news.

0:10:220:10:24

CREATURE CHIRPS

0:10:240:10:26

Ant...

0:10:260:10:27

He's a baby. I've got no idea why he's following me.

0:10:270:10:30

Except, maybe... possibly...because I fed him?

0:10:300:10:34

Ant, that's a very big baby.

0:10:340:10:38

Which means...those aren't fossils.

0:10:380:10:41

Let's not make any sudden moves.

0:10:410:10:44

-CREATURE ROARS AND SCREECHES

-Huh?

0:10:440:10:47

It's OK, little guy - friends. CREATURE PANTS HAPPILY

0:10:470:10:49

I guess I just naturally attract. Like a magnet.

0:10:490:10:53

Hey! I told you - that's not food!

0:10:530:10:55

It just smells like it.

0:10:570:10:59

Ant, if that's a baby it's got a very big mother somewhere.

0:10:590:11:02

This is not a safe environment.

0:11:020:11:05

Right. I can return it.

0:11:050:11:07

Ant!

0:11:070:11:09

Oof... Whoa...

0:11:090:11:11

'You'll note that the thrusters are more powerful

0:11:110:11:14

'than any previous Knight.'

0:11:140:11:16

What? Oh come on, Artificial Ant! Go down!

0:11:160:11:19

Down! Ugh!

0:11:190:11:20

'..and it may take some getting used to,

0:11:200:11:22

'but the steering is now controlled by head movements alone.'

0:11:220:11:25

-Ugh! Ow...

-'Move your head left to turn left.

0:11:250:11:27

'Right, to turn right.'

0:11:270:11:29

Oh! That's...infuriating! Whoa!

0:11:290:11:34

'And up and down. So simple, a child could do it.'

0:11:340:11:38

Oh, is that so?

0:11:380:11:39

Oh, wait till I get my hands on you!

0:11:390:11:43

It's OK. I'm just bringing you back home.

0:11:470:11:50

Remember this?

0:11:500:11:53

I don't have any more food. I wish I did.

0:11:530:11:55

CREATURE GROWLS AND WHINES Come on, Snappy - let go.

0:11:550:11:58

It's my favourite wet-suit.

0:11:580:12:00

Ant... Behind you!

0:12:000:12:02

-Is it bats?

-I wish it was.

0:12:020:12:06

Back away. Slowly.

SNAPPY SQUEALS No, Snappy. You stay here.

Go, play with them!

DISTANT HOWLS AND CRASHES

0:12:280:12:32

What was that?

0:12:320:12:34

It's the mother.

0:12:340:12:35

-Dad!

-Move! Over there!

0:12:350:12:37

-Where is it?

-Shh...

0:12:410:12:43

0:12:460:12:47

Oh...

0:12:470:12:48

MOTHER GROWLS

0:12:480:12:52

Where'd it go?

0:12:560:12:57

Like suddenly I'm the expert?

0:12:570:12:59

SNAPPY SQUEALS

0:12:590:13:01

-Shoo! Go back.

-We need to get out of here.

0:13:010:13:03

I don't want to go back into that.

LITTLE CREATURES PANT AND CHIRP

0:13:060:13:09

Snappy - you told them about the food, didn't you?

0:13:090:13:12

Ugh, he didn't have to.

0:13:120:13:14

I told you - your wet-suit smells like fish food!

0:13:140:13:16

I need my mask!

0:13:160:13:19

MOTHER ROARS

0:13:190:13:20

We don't have any choice. Let's go, now!

0:13:200:13:23

You think we lost it?

0:13:330:13:34

DISTANT THUD

0:13:340:13:36

Apparently not.

0:13:360:13:38

The caves must be connected. There!

0:13:380:13:40

MOTHER ROARS

0:13:400:13:43

SNAPPY CHIRPS Aargh!

0:13:430:13:45

Don't do that! I'm busy being terrified here.

0:13:450:13:47

SNAPPY GROWLS HAPPILY

0:13:470:13:49

Go home, Snappy. Your mother is calling you.

0:13:490:13:52

You should listen to your mother. I always do.

0:13:520:13:55

Hmm.

0:13:550:13:56

OK, not always.

0:13:560:13:58

This thing is the perfect predator - unchanged for a million years.

0:13:580:14:02

Not perfect. It's been locked up in the dark.

0:14:020:14:04

So what? Its sense of smell has probably over-compensated.

0:14:040:14:08

-FONTAINE SNIFFS

-And you smell like fish food!

0:14:080:14:10

MOTHER ROARS

0:14:100:14:12

Stay close to me.

0:14:120:14:13

-Aargh!

-Ant!

0:14:160:14:18

-Ugh...

-Are you OK?

0:14:180:14:20

My wet-suit is snagged on something.

0:14:200:14:22

Take my hand!

0:14:220:14:23

-Ugh...

-Ugh...!

0:14:250:14:28

I hate to say it, but my suit might have to stay behind.

0:14:280:14:31

Nekton family, this is Kaiko. Respond. Please!

0:14:330:14:37

This suit really IS strong. Ugh!

0:14:400:14:43

Ugh... Aargh!

0:14:450:14:47

Nice undies.

0:14:490:14:50

-Thanks!

-Are those...little Jeffreys?

0:14:500:14:53

I'm not even going to answer that.

0:14:530:14:55

Yes, they are.

0:14:550:14:56

Ant? Where's your mask?

0:14:560:15:00

Oh, no!

0:15:000:15:02

OK, two of us will share.

0:15:020:15:03

Out of this cave, straight to the surface.

0:15:030:15:06

Erm... Mine's gone too. We can't all make it on one.

0:15:060:15:09

MOTHER ROARS

0:15:090:15:13

This way! Follow me!

0:15:130:15:15

Kaiko, can you hear me? Respond, over.

0:15:150:15:17

Will? Copy.

0:15:170:15:19

The fossils aren't from an extinct species! They're alive in here!

0:15:190:15:22

I know. You're all OK?

0:15:220:15:24

For the moment. But something big is stalking us.

0:15:240:15:27

OK, listen...

0:15:270:15:28

if these things grow as big as Agnes suggests,

0:15:280:15:31

there's no way they can get out to the sea.

0:15:310:15:33

They live their lives in perpetual gloom.

0:15:330:15:35

Of course! They're sensitive to light.

0:15:350:15:38

The flashlights should keep them at bay.

0:15:380:15:39

-Mine's gone.

-Do I look like I'm carrying one?

0:15:390:15:42

We don't have that option.

0:15:420:15:44

Understood. Maybe you can stimulate the glow worms

0:15:440:15:47

-into defending themselves, remember?

-Right.

0:15:470:15:50

But the noise will attract the mother too.

0:15:500:15:52

It's the best idea we've had so far. Loud...

0:15:520:15:55

THEY SCREAM AND SHOUT

0:15:550:15:59

It's no good. They're not afraid of us.

0:15:590:16:02

We need bats.

0:16:020:16:04

No-one NEEDS bats. SNAPPY SQUEALS

0:16:040:16:07

MOTHER ROARS Now it's heard Snappy!

0:16:070:16:09

SNAPPY SQUEALS

0:16:090:16:12

MOTHER ROARS

0:16:120:16:13

-ALL:

-Aargh!

0:16:130:16:14

MOTHER ROARS

0:16:140:16:18

Will...? Are you still there?

0:16:200:16:23

Please be there.

0:16:230:16:24

'..can't read you. Dangerous... Stay away...'

0:16:250:16:28

Will? You're breaking up...

0:16:280:16:30

Will!

0:16:300:16:31

Loud noise isn't enough to activate the glow worms,

0:16:310:16:34

so keep something between that thing and us.

0:16:340:16:37

-Where'd it go?

-Oh, no...

0:16:370:16:39

MOTHER ROARS

0:16:400:16:41

THEY SCREAM

0:16:410:16:42

Your mom's here. Go to her. Ask her about her day.

0:16:450:16:48

MOTHER ROARS

0:16:480:16:49

THEY SCREAM

0:16:490:16:51

Hey! Over here!

0:16:530:16:55

MOTHER GROWLS

0:16:550:16:58

Yeah, I'm talking to you!

0:16:580:17:00

MOTHER ROARS

0:17:000:17:02

Kaiko! Run!

0:17:020:17:05

No! Look at me!

0:17:050:17:06

MOTHER GROWLS

0:17:060:17:07

One mother to another, understand this...

0:17:070:17:10

No-one messes with my family!

0:17:100:17:15

That's it... Mom! Activate the Pingers!

0:17:150:17:18

The high frequency should trigger the glow-worms!

0:17:180:17:21

Ugh!

0:17:250:17:26

MOTHER ROARS

0:17:290:17:31

Come on! This must be blinding!

0:17:310:17:34

MOTHER ROARS

0:17:340:17:36

Whoa!

0:17:360:17:38

-No!

-Dad, it's OK. Extra armour!

0:17:380:17:41

Ant, this suit is incredible.

0:17:410:17:43

And don't forget...

0:17:430:17:46

Extra strength!

0:17:460:17:48

Whoa!

0:17:480:17:50

Oh... Ugh...

0:17:500:17:53

MOTHER GROWLS

0:17:530:17:54

-Mom!

-Look out!

0:17:540:17:56

MOTHER ROARS

0:17:560:17:58

No!

0:17:580:17:59

Ant! No!

0:18:000:18:02

It's OK, Dad...I got this.

0:18:020:18:05

MOTHER GROWLS

0:18:050:18:10

You just want your baby, don't you?

0:18:130:18:16

MOTHER GROWLS

0:18:160:18:18

SNAPPY PANTS

0:18:180:18:21

MOTHER SNIFFS

0:18:210:18:22

SNAPPY SQUEALS

0:18:220:18:23

MOTHER ROARS

0:18:230:18:27

SNAPPY CHIRPS

0:18:280:18:29

MOTHER ROARS

0:18:290:18:30

You've got to watch him.

0:18:340:18:35

Sometimes he follows his instincts without thinking it through.

0:18:350:18:38

SNAPPY CHIRPS

0:18:380:18:39

Bye, Snappy.

0:18:490:18:50

Ant! You're blue!

0:18:550:18:56

It's cold down there.

0:18:570:18:59

-Where's your wet-suit?

-AGNES LAUGHS

0:18:590:19:01

Erm... I made an error in judgment.

0:19:010:19:04

I was wearing my old suit.

0:19:040:19:07

-Uh-huh?

-It got me into trouble. I'm sorry.

0:19:070:19:10

-I finally let it go.

-Good. Very mature.

0:19:100:19:14

Put this on.

0:19:140:19:16

Ha! I can see months of paperwork ahead, documenting this.

0:19:160:19:19

It's fantastic!

0:19:190:19:21

Discovering a living dinosaur is way better than a dead one.

0:19:210:19:24

Ugh!

0:19:240:19:26

How did Ant find that baby croc?

0:19:260:19:28

I think it found him.

0:19:280:19:29

Ant does have this way of...attracting things.

0:19:290:19:32

Ugh...ugh...

0:19:320:19:34

Aargh!

0:19:340:19:36

Thank you, Senator. You won't regret this.

0:19:370:19:40

So, the local Government'll set up a rainforest sanctuary?

0:19:400:19:43

They will. They don't want cave explorers getting eaten

0:19:430:19:46

any more than we do. The forest and the caves will be out of bounds.

0:19:460:19:50

Good. Scary creatures deserve protection too.

0:19:500:19:53

Even bats. Right, Ant?

0:19:530:19:56

Ant?

0:19:560:19:57

Eyes as big as basketballs!

0:19:570:19:59

Teeth like, like long, razor-sharp swords!

0:19:590:20:02

I'm painting a verbal picture here, Jeffrey.

0:20:040:20:07

Try to look interested.

0:20:070:20:08

He's a fish.

0:20:080:20:10

And, best of all, it's called Anteosaurus!

0:20:100:20:14

No, it's not.

0:20:140:20:15

Agnes will come around. It's a poetic name.

0:20:150:20:18

Strong. Powerful.

0:20:180:20:20

So, have you told Jeffrey you've got a new pet?

0:20:200:20:23

Shhh!

0:20:230:20:25

ANT LAUGHS AWKWARDLY
