Hidden Secrets The Deep

Fontaine? Can't hide forever.

You're good.

'Ant, have you considered that Fontaine

'might not want to be found?'

Briefly. Seems unlikely.

I know you're in here somewhere, Fontaine.

But not here.

Mum, I give up.

-Where's Fontaine?

-We are underwater, Ant. She can't have gone far, right?

-Yeah, but I haven't seen her since this morning.

-So you miss her?

What? No!

But just between us, I know she's got some secret room.

I can neither confirm or deny this.

Fontaine's entitled to have some privacy if she wants it.

Since when?

Where is she, Jeffrey?

There can't be many places to hide on the biggest submarine

in the entire world.

Fontaine? Are you in the Rover?

Fontaine?

Fontaine.

You can turn off the...

Hmm.

Weird.

Hey!

Will, do you read?

-Kaiko? What are you doing in the Rover?

-It's out of control.

Kaiko!

'Kaiko, do you read? Please come in!'

My family are explorers.

We have been for generations.

While others look at the stars,

we know there are an infinite number of things

that shine in the darkness below.

There are things lurking in the seas

that long ago vanished into myth.

my family are the Nektons and we explore the deep.

Aronnax to Rover. Come in, Rover.

Will, I'm having a bad day.

-Kaiko. What happened?

-We have a glitch.

The claw arm just dumped me and the Rover outside

and then the Rover took me for a ride. Can you get into a Knight?

I'm on my way.

-Dad, can you...?

-Sorry, Ant. Something I have to deal with first.

-But I...

-It's for your mum. I'll be quick.

Fontaine!

It's not working!

Whatever it is you're trying to do isn't fazing me one little...

Where is it?

Just borrowing the Ephemychron.

Fontaine. This is unacceptable, Jeffrey!

First she took my sperm whale tooth,

then my model monster then my gooper dooper disappeared.

My gooper dooper, Jeffrey! It's up to you now, little buddy.

Search the ship!

Some urgency wouldn't hurt, Jeffrey!

ETA one minute, Kaiko.

Come on, work.

Yes, I'm certainly not going anywhere.

Concentrate. If Ant can do this, you can, too.

Open Sesame?

Abracadabra?

Ant cannot be the only person who can make this work.

I'm coming for you, Fontaine!

-Where are you?

-I'm behind you.

I'm a phantom, Ant.

-I'm a ninja.

-Why are you hiding?

How about so I can have a corner of the universe to myself?

But why take my things?

That's purely to mess with your mind.

What?

Oh, come on!

Kaiko, I'm here, but where are you going?

Will, this thing is driving itself.

Kaiko!

Hold on!

This is not a bug!

Jeffrey! So you didn't search the entire Aronnax, did you?

Have to say, slightly disappointed.

Perhaps I was asking too much.

After all, why send a fish to do a pinger's job?

Now, my trusty obedient technology...

Give me a 3D map of this entire ship.

Find my sister.

What do you mean it's driving itself?

I mean I'm not!

Be careful, Will.

I'll slow you down.

Will!

-What are you doing?

-I'm not doing anything. It's like it's alive.

Come on. Come on.

What was that?

Yes! Thank you, pingers!

You can run but you can't hide, Fontaine.

'Ant? Fontaine?

'Could kind of use a hand out here.'

-What's wrong?

-'The Rover's gone completely haywire.

'We'll possibly need help if we can't control it.'

-I'm on my way.

-'Get Fontaine to bring the Swamp Knight, too.'

-Sure thing.

-'Can you find her? She's not responding.'

-Oh, I can find her.

We'll be with you soon.

Got you!

Not really accurate.

Technically I've got you.

Alpheus. What have you done to our ship?

I know it's rude to drop in uninvited,

so let's call this an invasion.

Pretty sure you need more than one person for an invasion, Alpheus.

I don't do the henchman thing.

So last millennium.

Aronnax to Rover.

-'Hold on, Will.

-Do I have a choice?'

So... Rover out of control,

loyal father chases because he's so sure it's just a glitch,

then badder things happen.

-You did this?

-There are no accidents.

Don't run to help them. That'll only make things worse.

Trust me.

Are you destroying things in there?

I'm trying to cut off the power.

Good. Destroy faster.

I'm taking the Ephemychron. Will you need a receipt?

So... You haven't found Lemuria, then.

I found ten sites related to Lemuria. More than you.

The truth is, I'm sick of you following me.

Always turning up when I don't want you around.

Here's a thought. Stay at home.

I'm taking the Ephemychron.

That way, you've got nothing to search with.

And that bulb needed replacing three days ago.

The microwave door's been left open for 20 minutes.

And Kaiko told you to pick that up yesterday.

How do you know these things?

I bypassed your security systems.

Everything's been downloaded into my sub's hard drive.

Oh, but that last one was a guess.

I know, I know. I'm really good at this.

-Got it.

-Kaiko!

But I've also disabled life-support.

Less well done. Who could have done this?

And what else have they done?

Ant? Fontaine? Can you hear me?

Ant? Fontaine?

-Mum.

-'Ant, listen.

'Someone's sabotaged the Rover.'

Yeah, Alpheus has invaded the Aronnax.

There's only one of him, but he's still calling it an invasion.

You're sounding in good health, Mrs Nekton.

Alpheus. If anything happens to them, you will pay.

Mothers. So emotional.

-I'll sort this out.

-We need to get back.

And I'm going to need air.

Yeah. Fontaine took the Ephemychron

back to her home base.

That's where it is now. Back there with Fontaine,

and I will never tell you where home base is.

'Bringing up coordinates now, Alpheus.'

When I say I've downloaded everything,

I mean everything including the location of your home base.

Try to keep up, Ant.

What?

Mum. Dad.

'Fontaine? Are you OK?'

Alpheus is here.

'We know. We're trying to get back.'

Back? Where are you now?

No way am I going in there.

Do I have to remind you your parents are still in danger?

OK. Help them, then I'll come.

My parents need to be safe first.

Aria, deactivate the Rover overrides, please.

'Overrides have been deactivated internally.'

-Mum? Dad?

-Aria, disable Ant's communicator.

I'm tired of pretending you have a choice, Ant.

Follow me.

-Whoa.

-Retract the access tube, Aria.

-'Retracting access tube.'

Wait, you can't do that. The Aronnax will flood.

That's the idea. I'm scuttling it.

No!

Ant?

You're still standing here.

How will you ever appreciate my intricate plans if you keep

-falling behind?

-I'll be right there.

I just need to stretch first.

-That's tight.

-OK, that's enough stretching, Ant.

Come on.

Why take the Ephemychron? You can't use it.

Only I can. It's useless to anyone else.

You may be surprised, Antaeus.

Proteus. I thought you didn't do henchman.

I don't. Proteus is a guest.

I'm a mentor.

Not really. What could I possibly learn from him.

You could learn a lot if you were open to it.

Did you get the Ephemychron?

-I'm about to get it.

-Good. Then we need to talk.

Let's not talk in front of our other guests.

-Put him somewhere out of the way.

-But...

-Henchman.

You shouldn't sell yourself short, Proteus.

I mean, look at you. Escorting the prisoner.

-You make a great henchman.

-Stop talking.

You'd be surprised how often I hear that,

but I think open communication is healthy and important.

You know, my mum says...

Ant and Fontaine.

We'll have to close off the flooded compartment and stop the leak.

I'll start the pumps.

Compartment sealed.

I'm activating the pumps now.

-COMPUTER:

-'Intruder detected outside the ship's airlock.

-'Fontaine Nekton.'

-Fontaine?

Aria, let our guest on board.

Whoever thought gooper dooper could actually be useful?

ANT: Come on, Proteus.

What kind of henchman are you? Leaving your prisoner alone?

Come back here!

At least you're safe, Jeffrey.

Come on, Fontaine.

-Where are you?

-Did someone say my name?

-Maybe.

-Come on, Ant.

-'Ant. Fontaine. Can you hear me?'

-We're OK, Dad.

But there is a humongous hole in the Aronnax.

It's OK, we've sealed it and we're coming for you.

All right!

You stole my backpack, too?

Borrowed. Come on.

Not happy, Fontaine. Not happy!

I thought this turned left.

It was... This way. I think.

Are you sure you know where we're going, Fontaine?

Of course I know, Ant!

-Oh, no!

-Oh, yes.

Aria brought you here, allowed you to open the airlock,

guided you discreetly all this way.

Told you I'd get the Ephemychron. And now if you please?

As if Fontaine would bring it with her.

Oh, come on. Nobody would do that.

-Er...

-Are you serious?

We are so going to talk about this later.

-Proteus!

-Yeah, Alpheus has a henchman.

-I am not a henchman!

Hey, give that back!

Look, Alpheus. You know I'm the only one in the world who can use that,

so there's no point.

What?

I don't believe it.

I don't believe it way more than you don't believe it.

Yes. It's validation, Alpheus. Proof of your royal birth right.

Royal birth right?

Alpheus is descended from Lemurian Royalty.

And now, Alpheus holds the destiny of the world in his hands.

-KAIKO:

-Engines are back online.

-WILL:

-Long-range sonar has the sub 23 miles north-west.

That'll be him. Let's go get our children.

How did you do that?

Alpheus is the youngest in an unbroken line of Lemurian Royalty.

-Proteus.

-When Alpheus locates Lemuria, he will control the terror.

You are divulging too much, Proteus.

If you keep this up, I swear I'll smash it.

-No!

-You can't.

Can't I? Without it, the Nektons can't possibly find Lemuria.

Without it, maybe you'll even stop saying things best left unsaid.

-But it's invaluable.

-I'm not going to smash it.

-In fact, why not use it?

-Yes, yes!

You'll see! I'll teach you. The Ephemychron is the key.

I'm the key.

-COMPUTER:

-'Initiating ejector tube sequence.'

No! No! You need me!

I don't need anyone.

-Now kiss the Ephemychron goodbye.

-No! No!

All right, Ephemychron.

With you and my mapping data, how can I possibly fail?

-That's a collectable!

-What?

-COMPUTER:

-'Ballast system compromise. Emergency stop.'

Yoink! Aria, shut the door.

Open the door, Aria!

'Reboot required.'

We need to lose him somehow.

-'Aria shutting down.'

-Look.

Like mice in a trap.

Let's get out of here.

-My gooper dooper.

-I was thinking ahead. Mum, dad?

What's your ETA?

We're three minutes away.

-Let's go.

-Wait. Can we really swim that far?

We've only got one re-breather between us.

You know how you have reservations about some of my crazier ideas?

Run all you want, Nektons. I'll find you.

'Reboot complete.

'Intruders detected on the bridge.'

What?

-Was it this one?

-'Unauthorised activation detected.'

What? Nope, maybe this one.

Aria, get me to the bridge now.

'Negative. Your control console overrides my commands.'

Kids, we'll be in position to intercept in 30 seconds.

-I command you to override the override.

-'Affirmative.'

Oh, it's this one!

Kiss the Ephemychron goodbye, Alpheus.

-Goodbye.

-Aria, stop them!

The things you find in the ocean!

'Aronnax departing. Do you wish to pursue?'

Yes, yes, yes, go!

'Additional World Oceans Authority

-'submarines closing from the north-west.'

-Aria!

Get us away from here.

What is this?

'I believe it's called gooper dooper.'

Entitled little brat. Call me a henchman, will you?

Over here!

I've locked down the entire security system,

we'll have to rebuild it completely back at HQ.

So, Alpheus activated the Ephemychron?

-How?

-They said he was Lemurian Royalty,

like he has some birthright.

-If he finds Lemuria...

-He can control the terror.

I don't know what that is, but... Hey!

It means time for games is over.

Right, Fontaine?

Fontaine? Oh, where is she, anyway?

'You'll never find out.

'I'm a phantom, Ant. I'm Ninja.'
