00:00The Nektons are good people, Proteus.
00:10Perhaps. But they are not ready for the revelations contained in the Chronicle of the Deep.
00:16They cannot read Lemurian.
00:18And yet still they piece together clues. They stumble upon discoveries.
00:24And in so doing they demonstrate that they are our greatest hope.
00:29Or our greatest problem. There are secrets we guard with our lives, Nereus. Don't forget that.
00:37Let them prove themselves.
00:41How?
00:42The Ephemikron.
00:44Impossible. The area is too dangerous, too impassable. No one's been able to find it.
00:50No, they haven't. Consider it a test.
00:54And so they fail like everyone else.
00:57What does that prove?
00:59The what?
01:00If they succeed.
01:05Dad, what do you think these symbols mean?
01:08I don't know. But they look familiar.
01:11They remind me of something... something I saw in the scroll we found.
01:19Uh, where is the scroll?
01:22What?
01:23It's... did you...
01:25Did you?
01:26No way. I don't know the password.
01:28Secure the Aranax. We have an intruder on board. Repeat, we have an intruder.
01:35My family are explorers. We have been for generations.
01:39While others look up to the stars, we know there are an infinite number of things that shine in the darkness below.
01:45There are things lurking in the seas that long ago vanished into myth.
01:49My family are explorers. And we explore...
01:53...the deep.
02:16No sign of anyone on the security cameras.
02:24Hello?
02:28Mom, Dad, there's something in the docking bay.
02:31What is it at?
02:33I don't know. I can hear growling.
02:36Be careful.
02:49Nereus?
02:52Hello? Mr. Nereus?
02:56Oh, Antaeus Necton. What are you doing here?
03:01Uh, I live here. What are you doing here? How'd you get in?
03:06You broke in.
03:08I knocked. No one answered. I opened the hatch.
03:11But we have alarms.
03:13Perhaps they need upgrading.
03:15Then you stole our scroll.
03:17Borrowed your scroll.
03:19That's true, Dad. If you took it, you wouldn't have it, would you?
03:22I just want to know how you opened my safe, Nereus.
03:25Change your password, William.
03:28And this time, don't use the name of a toy I gave you when you were six years old.
03:35You knew him when you were little?
03:37I remember my parents had a friend.
03:40You used to be taller.
03:42And you used to be shorter.
03:45Uh, please?
03:50This scroll is called the Chronicle of the Deep.
03:53It's very old.
03:55And I wanted to check something I saw in it years ago.
03:59There was a mystery that intrigued me when I was younger.
04:02We love mysteries. I live for mysteries.
04:04Is this one really mysterious or just slightly mysterious?
04:07It's all about the ephemicron.
04:10Ephemicron. Excellent. Great word.
04:13And that's an ephemicron?
04:15Yes. Well, no.
04:17It's a symbol.
04:19This is a navigational computer used by Lemurian sailors.
04:25Six thousand years ago?
04:27It can't be a computer.
04:29Oh, can't it?
04:33The ephemicron could calculate a course based on the stars
04:37and markers placed in certain locations across the globe.
04:41We've seen some.
04:43Exactly. Using that combination of information,
04:46Lemurians could find their way to almost anywhere in the world
04:50and back home.
04:52Home? This ephemicron could be used to find Lemuria?
04:58I think Dad might need to sit down.
05:01I came looking for a piece of the ephemicron 40 years ago.
05:06I failed in that test.
05:09Ah, hello, Jeffrey.
05:11What? How do you know the name of Ant's fish?
05:14Luck, I guess. Now, if you'll turn to the screen.
05:18You know how to use our equipment?
05:21I seem to have a knack.
05:23Now, a piece of the ephemicron is believed to be here,
05:27somewhere in these reefs.
05:29Do you think you could find it?
05:32I've dedicated my life to finding Lemuria.
05:35If that thing is here, we'll find it. Trust me.
05:39Ant of Plantain will take Knights.
05:42And you've already taken one.
05:46Be careful. A Lemurian ship sank here eons ago.
05:50These waters are treacherous.
05:52Which is why we're using the Knights.
05:54Nothing else can fit inside that maze of coral.
05:59Keep an eye out near us.
06:01Don't worry. I will.
06:05Watch the currents here, Ant.
06:07I'm in a high-tech Shadow Knight, Plantain.
06:10The currents will be watching me.
06:12Okay. Plantain, set your metal detector for maximum range.
06:16Ant, report any magnetic anomalies.
06:19Let's go.
06:25You used the word test.
06:27Sorry?
06:28You said when you came here 40 years ago that it was a test.
06:31Did I? How strange.
06:35You're a guest in our home, Nereus.
06:37From now on, I want real answers from you.
06:40Understood.
06:43I don't like this evasiveness.
06:45You don't hide anything.
06:49Nereus?
06:51Great.
06:59I like Nereus.
07:00What? He's infuriating.
07:03He's mysterious. I like to be mysterious.
07:06To be mysterious, you need to be able to not talk.
07:10That's never going to happen.
07:12Try and stay close. The current is getting stronger.
07:18These currents are impossible.
07:20They're suction created through openings in the coral.
07:27This way.
07:30Oh, no. But maybe not.
07:34You suction him.
07:37Try to keep below the current.
07:39I can't.
07:48It's the maelstrom.
07:50Propulsion at full power. Get out.
07:55It's too strong.
07:59Hold on.
08:00Ant!
08:04No!
08:11I'm firing the magnetic anchor cables.
08:13Let them hit you.
08:18Now I'm not going to lose you.
08:23Wait. Stop there.
08:25I've got an idea.
08:26Part planetary physics, part orbital engine principle.
08:29Hold on.
08:33Ant, try not to vomit.
08:36I get it. Hold on.
08:40I can taste breakfast.
08:53Great job, Ant. We made it.
08:58What are you doing in here?
09:01William has a wonderful collection.
09:04How did you open the safe?
09:06Will changed the password.
09:08Did he?
09:09Sorry. My mistake.
09:17Keiko?
09:18Will, do you need assistance?
09:20We're fine.
09:21But ask Nereus what he knows about a maelstrom that appears out of nowhere.
09:25Near the reef.
09:26I know it's a very tricky area.
09:29Quite deceptive.
09:31Like you.
09:32We're continuing our search.
09:34You're sure it's not too dangerous?
09:36Finding Lumeria is worth a few risks.
09:38True. But be careful.
09:49Are you picking up anything metallic?
09:51Nothing so far.
09:53It's so murky here.
09:55Like your room? You should feel right at home.
09:59Stay close together.
10:03Ant? Dad?
10:06Guys, are you there?
10:08I've lost visual contact.
10:10You're close together, Fontaine. Stay calm.
10:16Nectans, are you still there?
10:18Yes, but I can't see a thing.
10:20Sonar is scrambled.
10:22Hydrophones, too.
10:23I need to get my bearings here.
10:25I need to touch something.
10:30The cables didn't hit anything.
10:32But that's impossible. We're surrounded by reefs.
10:35Nereus?
10:36I can hear you.
10:37We're in an area of zero viz.
10:39Ah, yes. I remember.
10:42Do you have any ideas?
10:43Sometimes to see clearly, we need to stop looking.
10:47Sometimes opening your mouth just to say weird things isn't actually helpful.
10:52I get the impression you know more than you're saying.
10:55I don't like that, Nereus.
10:56If I could help you, I would, William.
11:00We need to stop looking.
11:02What?
11:03Deactivating propulsion system.
11:07Ant, what are you doing?
11:08Maybe seeing isn't important here.
11:10Just feeling.
11:13Yes, the current.
11:19Hold on, Fontaine. Just float.
11:22Trust the sea.
11:27Ant?
11:28Dad, turn off your engine.
11:31Let the current take us.
11:42I'm going to keep my eyes closed.
11:44Tell me if you see anything.
11:47I can see.
11:49What?
11:50I don't know, but it's something, as opposed to all the nothing from before.
11:54Ant, you did it. We're clear.
12:01Are there any more surprises ahead, Nereus?
12:04I don't know. That's where I failed.
12:07I never made it through there.
12:09Ant is very clever, isn't he?
12:11He is.
12:13You must be very proud of him, Jeffrey.
12:20Still no sign of anything metallic.
12:22Are you sure your metal detector is even working?
12:24This would find a pin at 20 paces, Ant.
12:27Just asking.
12:31Look.
12:36They are so beautiful.
12:43Wow. Amazing.
12:47Huh?
12:49Help me!
12:51Fontaine!
12:54Dad!
12:57Get off me!
12:59My systems are crashing!
13:01It's sucking up all my power!
13:05These things aren't real.
13:08Tell that to my bruises.
13:10I mean, they're not real jellyfish.
13:13They're mechanical. They're robots.
13:16Will, what's happening?
13:21If you know what's going on, tell me now, Nereus.
13:25I really don't know. This is way beyond...
13:28Beyond what? I need answers now.
13:30This should not be happening.
13:32It's not my doing, Keiko. Please, believe that.
13:35That tells me nothing. You better hope I get there in time.
13:46Hmm.
13:47It's Nereus. The Nektons are under attack.
13:50Go ahead.
13:51Someone from within has compromised the test.
13:54Be careful of accusations, Nereus.
13:57I want you to find out who is responsible and deal with them.
14:02I'll make inquiries.
14:04And who is that?
14:06That is a long story.
14:09You're coming with me, and you're telling me this long story?
14:14Power at 19%.
14:16Some kind of last-minute rescue would be excellent here.
14:19Well, seeing as they're robots,
14:21I don't feel guilty about doing this.
14:27Ant, can you hear me?
14:30Who were you talking to earlier?
14:32A ghost.
14:33A ghost?
14:34Yes.
14:35A ghost?
14:36Yes.
14:37A ghost?
14:38Yes.
14:39A ghost?
14:40Yes.
14:41A ghost?
14:42Someone was talking to me earlier.
14:44A guardian.
14:45As I said, a long story.
14:47Slow down, now.
14:51We can't get through that.
14:53We're not going through. We're going under.
14:56Under?
14:57That's impossible!
14:58Please, trust me, Keiko.
15:00I've been here before.
15:02This better work.
15:04Now, get as low as you can.
15:06Scrape the bottom if you have to.
15:12Turn off the engine and let it drift.
15:39You can't find a way. So can we.
15:46Life support systems are at 6%. If anyone's interested.
15:51And this thing is ugly.
15:54Get off him.
15:56That hum is my suit auto-recharging. Prepare for round two, Robo-Jellyfish.
16:06Took away my round two.
16:08Are you all right, Antaeus?
16:10No. I was almost eaten by a Robo-Jellyfish. You could have mentioned that, Nereus.
16:14Tell us what you really know, Nereus.
16:17It was supposed to be a simple test.
16:20Like geography? Cause that's not simple.
16:23I really believed you could find it.
16:26The piece of the Ephemercron?
16:29Someone doesn't want you to find it.
16:32You lied to us.
16:34No, I didn't lie. But I... I didn't tell you the entire truth.
16:40That's the same thing. Just tell us the truth.
16:43I...
16:45We can't trust this place or this man. We're leaving.
16:49But the Ephemercron...
16:51As much as I want it, there are more important things. And this place isn't safe.
16:56Come on, let's go.
17:02I've learned my lesson. Some adventures just fizzle out.
17:06Huh?
17:10Give me a second. I'll be right there.
17:20Wow.
17:26Uh, where's Antgon?
17:28Quickly! Turn back!
17:31Now! Return scanners to maximum sensitivity. He couldn't have gone far.
17:36So cool! This is why no one's been able to find him.
17:40That strange barrier's been hiding everything lost to this area.
17:45The lost ship. Wow.
17:52Whoa.
17:59Is that what I think it is? No way. I found a piece of the Ephemercron.
18:05Ant, where are you? Please respond.
18:08It's okay, Mom. I'm in.
18:10You found the piece of Ephemercron.
18:12Yes, but where are you, Antaeus?
18:18Get off me!
18:20Where exactly are you, Ant?
18:23I'm under you!
18:29Close!
18:33Thrusters, full power!
18:35Gotta break free from this sticky.
18:41Anyone there? Looks like we really need some help down here.
18:45What is your location?
18:47If he's under us, why can't we see him?
18:50He seems to see clearly. We need to stop looking.
18:54Yeah, you said that already. And Ant's still missing. You got any better ideas?
18:58Close your eyes!
19:01What are you doing? Give me the controls back now!
19:05We're going to hit!
19:07Don't look!
19:08There he is! Go!
19:13Mom!
19:16There he is! Ant, we're coming!
19:21Talk about leaving until the last minute!
19:24Hold on tight!
19:36Keiko!
19:38Ant!
19:39You all right?
19:40I am now, thanks to Nereus charging in like a guardian angel.
19:44What? A guardian?
19:46We make a good team.
19:48Look!
19:52And my metal detector still doesn't detect it.
19:55How is that still possible?
19:57An unknown alloy?
19:59Antaeus, no one has ever found that wreck site. How did you do it?
20:04I wasn't even looking. It was like... like it found me.
20:08It found you. Of course it did.
20:12I apologize for my impulsiveness with the rover.
20:16But someone does not want you to have this. Therefore...
20:21You're giving it to Ant. Why?
20:24He found it. Many others have failed.
20:28Studying this will keep me busy for months.
20:31It's part of the key to everything, William.
20:34The other pieces of the Ephemercron. Where are they?
20:37Ah, well, you see... I've got no idea.
20:42But I have faith you'll find them.
20:45What? You expected a straight answer?
20:48Why start now?
20:51I was unsuccessful. The identity of the saboteur remains a mystery.
20:56A pity. I assume you left no stone unturned.
21:00Remember, you are no longer head of the Guardians, Nereus.
21:04Do not question my integrity.
21:06I have an inquiring mind. I like finding answers. It's my nature.
21:11If we do have a traitor in our organization, I will find them.
21:16But be careful, Nereus. Some answers can be dangerous.
21:21For me? Or the Nectons?
21:24Perhaps both.
21:36To be continued...
