00:00How about we call it Anti-Osaurus?
00:07Ignore him, Agnes.
00:09Can I touch it?
00:10Why not?
00:11I have.
00:12Anti-Osaurus is a great name for a dinosaur.
00:17Huh?
00:18Strong.
00:19Powerful.
00:20Agnes, you're the one who found a whole new dinosaur species.
00:23You deserve to call it whatever you want.
00:25I can't help thinking you have a suggestion.
00:28Well, Osaurus has a certain ring.
00:33Uh, bats?
00:35No one mentioned bats.
00:37Relax.
00:38Bats only attack the smallest person.
00:41Oh, wait.
00:42That would be you.
00:43Hmm.
00:44Huh?
00:45Whoa!
00:46Whoa!
00:47Will!
00:48Dad!
00:49Ant, stop right there.
00:51Come back from the edge.
00:52It could collapse again.
00:53Uh, but...
00:54Come back from the edge.
00:57Go, Ant.
00:59Ah!
01:02Dad!
01:05My family are explorers.
01:07We have been for generations.
01:09While others look up to the stars,
01:11we know there are an infinite number of things
01:13that shine in the darkness below.
01:15There are things lurking in the seas
01:17that long ago vanished into myth.
01:19My family are explorers,
01:21and we explore the deep.
01:27Mom?
01:29What are we going to do?
01:31Come on, Will.
01:33I think I see something.
01:35Dad!
01:37I should have warned you when you arrived.
01:41Unstable ground.
01:45The stream ends at this sinkhole,
01:47and the sinkhole keeps getting deeper.
01:49I'm afraid it's going to collapse again.
01:51I'm afraid it's going to collapse again.
01:53I'm afraid it's going to collapse again.
01:55And the sinkhole keeps getting bigger.
01:59At really inconvenient times.
02:01So, the water flows down
02:03through a cave system
02:05and emerges somewhere out there near the Aranax.
02:07I'm hoping the rest of the fossils
02:09are down in the caves.
02:11With your underwater exploration experience
02:13and all your cool gear,
02:15I thought, perfect.
02:17Well, except we're very good.
02:19Maybe not perfect.
02:21My brother has modesty issues.
02:23But now I'm not so sure.
02:25It might be too dangerous.
02:27One way to find out.
02:31By playing golf?
02:33These are pingers.
02:35They're 3D sonar mappers.
02:37They'll float through the caves on the current,
02:39map them, emerge into the sea,
02:41and return to the Aranax.
02:43See? Told you.
02:45You've got cool gear. Perfect.
02:53Plenty of room to get around
02:55in the first two caves.
02:57But see here, where it vents into the sea?
02:59That's a very small opening.
03:01It's even too small for a knight.
03:03Okay. We'll swim in from the top.
03:05Look, right there.
03:07Are those fossils?
03:09Maybe just debris.
03:11But we'll find out for sure when we dive.
03:13The last pinger, Jeffrey.
03:15And back where it belongs
03:17in my brand-new, totally amphibious
03:19diving suit.
03:21It belongs in my brand-new, totally amphibious
03:23knight. I call it
03:25the Swamp Knight.
03:31Your lack of enthusiasm is noted.
03:35Oh, right. You're hungry.
03:37Have you ever known me not
03:39to carry fish food?
03:47Here. A new high-tech, super-neoprene
03:49utility wetsuit.
03:51Look, it's not that I don't appreciate it,
03:53but I kind of like my...
03:55You've outgrown that one. And confidentially,
03:57it smells.
03:59Change. Mom, please!
04:01I'm not a child. I'm almost legally
04:03considered an adult in Zanjakistan.
04:05You made up that country, didn't you?
04:07Changing right now.
04:09New suit.
04:11Itchy.
04:13Get used to it. The old one's in the recycling bin.
04:19What's the
04:21light source?
04:23Not sure. Let's check it out.
04:29Wow!
04:31Thousands of glowworms.
04:33Now there's something
04:35you don't see every day.
04:37The glow is their way of saying
04:39to predators,
04:41don't eat me, I'm poisonous.
04:43I'm not poisonous.
04:46The glow is their way of saying to predators,
04:48don't eat me, I'm poisonous.
04:50No predators here. Not even Fontaine.
04:56Hmm.
04:58They're reacting to that bat's sonar sound.
05:00But bats can't get down here.
05:02Can they?
05:04Spider!
05:10Ant! They're coming back!
05:16Bats are no joking matter!
05:18Ant, behind you.
05:20I am not falling for the same thing twice.
05:22Well, not after all those other times.
05:24Ant, turn around.
05:40Agnes is going to love this.
05:42So based on these
05:44bones, this species would have been
05:4612 meters long?
05:48At least! Excellent!
05:50I look forward to dating it on our mass spectrometer.
05:54It's on its way, Professor.
05:56Fantastic!
05:58Done. I'll wait on board for his reply.
06:00I'll head back to shore to collect
06:02the rest of the fossils.
06:06Yeah!
06:08Come on.
06:26Keiko, we've arrived at the dig site.
06:28But we shouldn't be too long. Over and out.
06:38Okay.
06:40Let's gather some more bones.
06:47Is that your old suit?
06:49Shh!
06:51It's not an old suit.
06:53It's an old friend. It just feels right.
06:55We have history together.
06:57It smells like fish food.
06:59No need to insult it.
07:01My old friend and I are going to see
07:03if any bones have washed into the next cave.
07:08Keiko?
07:12You really had me going there.
07:14What are you talking about?
07:16I was actually excited, and then I ran the test.
07:18Hilarious! Those fossils,
07:20they're not old at all.
07:22What do you mean they're not old?
07:24Igneous rock down here?
07:26Uh, basalt?
07:28Agnes, your fossils aren't ancient.
07:30Fifty years, maximum.
07:32How disappointing.
07:34The high mineral content in the water
07:36must have prematurely petrified the bones.
07:40Huh?
07:42What's that?
07:44I don't know.
07:46I don't know.
07:48I don't know.
07:50I don't know.
07:52Huh?
07:54Hmm.
07:56That's not basalt.
07:58Agnes, if these fossils aren't ancient,
08:00then those things could still be alive.
08:02But it's way too big
08:04to be an...
08:06Huh?
08:08Huh?
08:10Ah!
08:12Ah!
08:14Grr!
08:16Aranax to nektons.
08:18Aranax to any nekton.
08:21Come in.
08:23Come on!
08:25Okay, I'll just be very still.
08:27And you can just stay.
08:31Sorry.
08:33That's a little bright for you, isn't it?
08:35Ah!
08:37Close enough.
08:39Ah!
08:41Come on!
08:43Okay, now part of growing up
08:45is learning what's food
08:47and what's not food.
08:49I am not food, okay?
08:56Wait.
08:58You...
09:00You think I'm your mother.
09:02We won't tell Jeffrey.
09:10Welcome to the Swamp Knight,
09:12your new totally amphibious knight.
09:14Unlike other knights,
09:16the Swamp Knight can walk on land.
09:18It's perfect for Boggy Marsh's
09:20cave exploring.
09:22That's exactly why I'm choosing it.
09:24I don't need explanations, Artificial Ant.
09:26But I will be asking the real you
09:28to explain this.
09:30Wow.
09:32This place is truly amazing.
09:34You realize no one,
09:36and I mean no one,
09:38has ever seen this.
09:40Other explorers?
09:42Nope.
09:44Cavemen?
09:46Uh,
09:48now I'm going this way
09:50and you should go...
09:52Wait a minute. Is that why you're following me?
09:54You can smell fish food?
09:56Hang on. I always have some
09:58somewhere.
10:00Yeah, hang on. Ah, here.
10:04It's not much, but it's high in amino acids
10:06and vitamins. Whoa!
10:08Healthy appetite. Sorry, little guy.
10:10I'm out.
10:12Whoa!
10:14The Swamp Knight has extra thick armor,
10:16extra storage compartments,
10:18and extra strength.
10:20Extra strength is just what I'll need.
10:24Ant, this thing is too powerful.
10:26It's complete overkill.
10:28Of course this extra strength
10:30should be taken into account in everyday
10:32operation.
10:34Whoa!
10:36We wouldn't
10:38want any accidents.
10:40Whoa! We're going the wrong
10:42way!
10:46There you are.
10:48What?
10:50I've got news.
10:54Ant?
10:56He's a baby. I've got no idea why he's
10:58following me. Except maybe
11:00possibly because I fed him.
11:02Ant, that's a very
11:04big baby.
11:06Which means those
11:08aren't fossils.
11:11Let's not make any
11:13sudden moves.
11:15Huh?
11:17It's okay, little guy. Friends.
11:19I guess I just naturally attract.
11:21Like a magnet.
11:23Hey! I told you that's
11:25not food!
11:27It just smells like it.
11:29Ant, if that's a baby, it's got a very big
11:31mother somewhere.
11:33This is not a safe environment.
11:35Right. I can return it.
11:37There!
11:41You'll note that the thrusters
11:43are more powerful than any previous
11:45night.
11:47What? Oh, come on, artificial
11:49ant! Go down, down!
11:51And it may take some getting used to,
11:53but the steering is now controlled by head
11:55movement alone. Move your head
11:57left to turn left, right to
11:59turn right. Oh, that's
12:01infuriating!
12:03Whoa!
12:05And up and down.
12:07So simple a child could do it.
12:09Oh, is that so?
12:11I'll wait till I get my hands on you.
12:19It's okay. I'm just bringing you
12:21back home. Remember this?
12:25I don't have any more food. I wish I did.
12:27Come on,
12:29Snappy. Let go. It's my favorite
12:31wetsuit. Ant,
12:33behind you. Is it bats?
12:35I wish it was.
12:39Back away, slowly.
12:43No, Snappy. You stay here.
12:52We have to leave now.
12:56Snappy, forget about me.
12:58Look, brothers and sisters.
13:00Go! Play with them!
13:06What was that?
13:08It's the mother.
13:10Dad! Move! Over there!
13:15Where is it?
13:17Shh!
13:30Where'd it go?
13:32Like suddenly I'm the expert?
13:36Shoo! Go back!
13:38We need to get out of here.
13:40I don't want to go back into that.
13:45Snappy!
13:47You told him about the food, didn't you?
13:49He didn't have to. I told you.
13:51Your wetsuit smells like fish food.
13:53I need my mask!
13:56We don't have any choice.
13:59Let's go. Now!
14:11You think we lost it?
14:15Apparently not.
14:17The caves must be connected.
14:19There!
14:23Don't do that.
14:25I'm busy being terrified here.
14:29Go home, Snappy.
14:31Your mother is calling you.
14:33You should listen to your mother.
14:35I always do.
14:37Okay. Not always.
14:39This thing is the perfect predator.
14:41Unchanged for a million years.
14:43Not perfect. It's been locked up in the dark.
14:45So what?
14:47Its sense of smell is probably overcompensated.
14:49And you smell like fish food.
14:53Stay close to me.
14:59Are you okay?
15:01My wetsuit is snagged on something.
15:03Take my hand.
15:09I hate to say it,
15:11but my suit might have to stay behind.
15:15Nekton family, this is Keiko.
15:17Respond, please.
15:22This suit really is strong.
15:29Nice undies.
15:31Thanks.
15:33Are those Little Jeffreys?
15:35I'm not even going to answer that.
15:37Yes, they are.
15:39And where's your mask?
15:43Oh, no!
15:45Okay. Two of us will share.
15:47Out of this cave, straight to the surface.
15:49Um, mine's gone, too.
15:51We can't all make it on one.
15:55This way. Follow me.
15:57Keiko, can you hear me?
15:59Respond, over.
16:01Will, copy.
16:03The fossils aren't from an extinct species.
16:05They're alive in here.
16:07I know. You're all okay?
16:09For the moment.
16:11But something big is stalking us.
16:13Okay, listen.
16:15If these things grow as big as Agnes suggests,
16:17there's no way they can get out to the sea.
16:19They live their lives in perpetual gloom.
16:21Of course. They're sensitive to light.
16:23The flashlight should keep them at bay.
16:25Do I look like I'm carrying one?
16:27We don't have that option.
16:29Understood. Maybe you can stimulate the glowworms
16:31into defending themselves, remember?
16:33Right.
16:35But the noise will attract the mother, too.
16:37It's the best idea we've had so far.
16:45It's no good. They're not afraid of us.
16:47We need bats.
16:49No one needs bats.
16:51Now it's heard Snappy.
17:03Will, are you still there?
17:07Oh, please be there.
17:09Can't read you. Dangerous.
17:11Stay away.
17:13Will, you're breaking up.
17:15Will!
17:17Loud noise isn't enough to activate the glowworms.
17:19So keep something between that thing and us.
17:21Where'd it go?
17:23Oh, no.
17:31Your mom's here. Go to her.
17:33Ask her about her day.
17:39Hey, over here.
17:44Yeah, I'm talking to you.
17:49Kinko, run!
17:53No, look at me.
17:55One mother to another.
17:57Understand this.
17:59No one messes with my family.
18:03That's it.
18:05Mom, activate the pingers.
18:07The high frequency should trigger the glowworms.
18:19Come on.
18:21This must be blinding.
18:27No!
18:29Dad, it's okay. Extra armor.
18:31This suit is incredible.
18:33And don't forget...
18:35Extra strength.
18:44Mom, look out!
18:46No!
18:50Ed, no!
18:52It's okay, Dad. I got this.
19:04You just want your baby, don't you?
19:16No!
19:26You've got to watch him.
19:28Sometimes he follows his instincts without thinking it through.
19:42Bye, Snappy.
19:46Aunt, you're blue.
19:50It's cold down there.
19:52Where's your wetsuit?
19:54I made an error in judgment.
19:56I was wearing my old suit.
19:58Uh-huh.
20:00It got me into trouble.
20:02I'm sorry.
20:04I finally let it go.
20:06Good. Very mature.
20:08Put this on.
20:10I can see months of paperwork ahead documenting this.
20:12It's fantastic.
20:15Discovering a living dinosaur
20:17is way better than a dead one.
20:21How did Aunt find that baby croc?
20:23I think it found him.
20:25Aunt does have this way of attracting things.
20:33Thank you, Senator.
20:35You won't regret this.
20:37So, the local government will set up a rainforest sanctuary?
20:39They will.
20:41They don't want cave explorers getting eaten any more than we do.
20:43The forest and the caves will be out of bounds.
20:45Good.
20:47Scary creatures deserve protection, too.
20:49Even bats. Right, Aunt?
20:51Aunt?
20:53Eyes as big as basketballs.
20:55Teeth like long, razor-sharp swords.
21:01I'm painting a verbal picture here, Jeffrey.
21:03Try to look interested.
21:05He's a fish.
21:07And best of all, it's called
21:09Anteosaurus.
21:11It's not.
21:13Agnes will come around.
21:15It's a poetic name.
21:17Strong. Powerful.
21:19So, have you told Jeffrey you've got a new pet?
21:21Shhh.
21:25Ha ha ha.
