00:00Why do we always get stuck with seaweed clearing duty?
00:08Between the three of us?
00:09It'll be done pretty quickly.
00:11Three of us?
00:12Jeffrey's helping.
00:13Good work, Jeffrey.
00:14What?
00:15What's that?
00:16Probably nothing.
00:17No.
00:18What's that?
00:19Probably something.
00:20Mom?
00:21There's something headed towards us.
00:22There's nothing on sonar.
00:23Yeah?
00:24Well, then nothing is getting closer!
00:25Still nothing on any instruments.
00:26It's headed straight for the Aranax!
00:27Mom!
00:28You gotta move!
00:29Hold on guys.
00:30I hadn't held on yet!
00:31It vanished.
00:32What was that?
00:33I don't know.
00:34I think it was a dream.
00:35We need to get out of here.
00:36Wait.
00:37Mom!
00:38You gotta move!
00:39Hold on, guys.
00:42I hadn't held on yet!
00:49It vanished.
00:50What was that?
00:52I don't know.
00:53I do.
00:54That, without a doubt, was a ghost sub.
01:00My family are explorers.
01:02We have been for generations.
01:04While others look up to the stars,
01:05we know there are an infinite number of things
01:07that shine in the darkness below.
01:10There are things lurking in the seas
01:11that long ago vanished into mint.
01:14My family are explorers, and we explore the deep.
01:32Lift.
01:34Is there much damage, Professor Fiction?
01:36Hmm.
01:37Lester, could you join us in the hangar?
01:40Looks like we need a mechanic.
01:41It was a ghost sub.
01:43Look at Geoffrey.
01:45He looks like he's seen a ghost sub.
01:47Ergo, he saw a ghost sub.
01:49Makes sense.
01:51It looked like it was made of wood,
01:53but it glowed, like a glow... fish.
01:56Hmm. Was it a glow fish?
01:58No, but it did have this enormous,
02:01No, but it did have this enormous mouth
02:04that seemed to suck in water.
02:06Slurp, slurp, slurp.
02:09Wait! That reminds me of something I read...
02:12I did not expect that sentence to end there.
02:16Griffin!
02:20That's what happens when we run inside.
02:23Sorry, Dad.
02:25Need a mechanic then?
02:27Damaged rudder. We took a big hit.
02:29We were attacked by a phantom submarine.
02:31It travels in the ocean looking for innocent sailors
02:33to drag to their doom.
02:35Probably.
02:36Is that so?
02:37Were you scared?
02:38I'm not scared of anything.
02:40But yes, I was very scared.
02:42I wish I had adventures like you.
02:44No time. There's work to do.
02:51I knew your story reminded me of something.
02:54The sailor Alessandro de Salazar.
02:58He was an inventor?
03:00A genius.
03:01Persecuted for his wild theories.
03:03Like me!
03:04You're persecuted by the conservative scientific establishment?
03:07Mostly by Fontaine.
03:10His last invention was back in 1801.
03:13The consail.
03:14A one-of-a-kind submarine made of wood and steel.
03:18That's it! The phantom sub!
03:20You're sure?
03:21Definitely. This is the sub we saw.
03:24And the consail vanished on its maiden voyage.
03:27Well, it's back.
03:30Scientifically speaking, that shouldn't be possible.
03:32Science doesn't apply, Professor.
03:34Not to ghosts.
03:36But why do I have an assignment?
03:38Because learning is important.
03:40That's what TV is for.
03:42Remember the navigation theory you've been studying?
03:44Um, yeah. Sure.
03:47Then these should be familiar.
03:49The navigation equipment that our ancestors used.
03:52But we have GPS now.
03:54We don't need... whatever this is.
03:57It's a sextant.
03:59Where's the screen?
04:00Learning to navigate the way old sailors did
04:02will help you understand the principles of navigation.
04:05And modern equipment can fail.
04:07You just witnessed how something as advanced as the Aranex
04:10can become disabled.
04:12We'll hide something in the ocean,
04:14and you'll have to use these old techniques to find it.
04:16It shouldn't be difficult,
04:18now that you've studied all that theory, right?
04:21Fine. I suppose I can use this to, um...
04:25tie things together?
04:27It measures depth.
04:29I knew that.
04:30And remember,
04:31we could give you a random assignment at any time.
04:34What? Why?
04:35Well, partly to make sure you're always prepared.
04:38And partly because we find it funny.
04:40Well, if people who lived before the Internet could do this,
04:43I should totally own it.
04:45That's the spirit.
04:48You know what they say.
04:49If you don't learn from the past,
04:51it'll come back to haunt you.
04:59Hmm. Hmm.
05:03What?
05:09Oh.
05:27Wow.
05:29Ha, ha, ha, ha.
05:31Ah.
05:33Jeffrey?
05:36Ah!
05:42I need to find balance!
05:44Ant?
05:45Ah!
05:46Ant?
05:47Ant?
05:48Ah!
05:49Griffin?
05:51Do mechanics not sleep?
05:53Sorry.
05:54There's something you should see,
05:55on the other side of the island.
05:57What is it?
05:58I don't want to say,
05:59in case it's not there.
06:01So, you're saying it's...
06:03a mystery?
06:05I guess.
06:06So,
06:07should we take the solar skis?
06:09Just take them?
06:10Like, ride them?
06:11I'm, uh,
06:12I'm not sure if I should.
06:14You want an adventure, right?
06:23Do you always have this much fun?
06:25Ha, sometimes more.
06:27I should tell you,
06:28I'm not a great swimmer.
06:29And I hope you're good at holding on!
06:36Ha, ha, ha, ha.
06:37Follow me!
06:47There, look!
06:49Wow.
06:50I saw it this morning,
06:52from the shore.
06:53Did you tell your dad?
06:54No.
06:56He doesn't like me going
06:57on unauthorized walks.
06:59You think we should move closer?
07:01Uh, sure.
07:02Do you?
07:03Okay.
07:15What happened?
07:16Is it...
07:17alive?
07:18Can it hear us?
07:21It can hear us!
07:23No, no, no!
07:24This is bad!
07:25Let's go!
07:28Ant!
07:32Oh, no!
07:40No!
07:42Griffin!
07:55Good morning, sleepyhead.
07:59Surprise test time.
08:02Why?
08:04Sailors of old
08:05always had to be ready for action.
08:07They didn't get warnings
08:08about storms
08:09or dangerous reefs
08:10or kraken attacks.
08:12But the sun isn't even up yet.
08:14Which makes it easier
08:15to navigate by the stars.
08:17Your mother is out there
08:18underwater in the white night.
08:20Here are the coordinates.
08:23You have one hour
08:24to find her
08:25using old navigation techniques.
08:27In that boat?
08:29Is it an antique?
08:30It's the same boat
08:31I used when I did this test.
08:33So it is an antique.
08:35Can't you handle
08:36old equipment?
08:37Of course I can.
08:39I'm already an expert
08:40in...
08:41this...
08:42thingy.
08:43And you can't use
08:44your communicator
08:45unless it's an emergency.
08:47Got it?
08:48Don't need it.
08:49I have a rope
08:50and a thingy
08:51and my own
08:52formidable wits.
09:03Dad!
09:04Come in, Dad!
09:05Ant?
09:06Why are you out so early?
09:07The con sail!
09:08It has Griffin!
09:09Hold on.
09:10Calm down, Ant.
09:11Where are you?
09:13It's diving!
09:14What?
09:15I'm coming, Griffin!
09:16Griffin!
09:23Ant!
09:24Griffin!
09:25Oh, no!
09:27You're okay!
09:28What's happening?
09:30We're diving!
09:34Dad!
09:35We're two miles north of...
09:36Dad!
09:38Ant!
09:39Can you hear me?
09:40Please respond!
09:46What happened to you?
09:47I was sucked into a pipe.
09:49I hit a filter.
09:50I thought I was done for.
09:52And then I looked up
09:53and I found a hatch.
09:55No!
09:56It'd flood if we opened it now!
09:57So...
09:58we're trapped?
09:59I think so.
10:01Who's driving?
10:02I don't know.
10:04Ant,
10:05do you read me?
10:06If this is a prank,
10:07tell me now.
10:08I promise to laugh.
10:10Come on, Ant.
10:11Just answer me.
10:16The con sale?
10:18Excuse me, Will.
10:19Have you seen the boys?
10:20Griffin's not in his room
10:21and two solar skis are missing.
10:23Ant said the Phantom Sub took Griffin
10:26and then we lost contact.
10:28What?
10:29Probably just a prank.
10:30You know how boys are.
10:32They're probably just
10:33having a little adventure.
10:35I always told Griffin
10:37that adventures were for fools!
10:39Come on.
10:40Let's go find our boys.
10:42It sounds strange,
10:43but it could be nothing.
10:45We're gonna head out
10:46on the rover just to be sure.
10:48I'll stay put.
10:49I should be here
10:50when Fontaine finds me.
10:51Okay.
10:52Are you coming?
10:53I usually just fix the subs.
10:55Never really traveled
10:56in one before.
10:57That's okay
10:58if you don't want to come.
10:59I'm sure I'll find the boys.
11:01No, I'm coming.
11:09Can anyone read me?
11:11Dad?
11:12Dad?
11:13Nothing.
11:14No signal at all.
11:16This hull is thick varnished wood.
11:18They could be blocking the signal?
11:20There has to be someone driving.
11:26According to its tracker,
11:27one of the solar skis
11:28is right above us.
11:32The other one's just over there.
11:34But where are the boys?
11:36Griffin doesn't...
11:38I never really let him swim.
11:40Let's be calm
11:41and not jump to any conclusions.
11:43They're together.
11:44They'll be fine.
11:45Let's keep looking.
11:47Okay.
11:48If that star is there,
11:50and...
11:52I get it!
11:54I totally get it!
11:55I have conquered you, Sextant!
11:57And that means
11:58Mom should be right over...
12:03No!
12:06Oh, no.
12:11Are all your adventures
12:12like this?
12:13They're not usually this...
12:15scary.
12:16At least it can't get any scarier.
12:18For future reference on adventures,
12:20we never ever say things like that.
12:31It's him!
12:33Desalazar!
12:34Whoa!
12:36Not gonna use it.
12:37Not an emergency.
12:39Not yet.
12:42Huh?
12:43Mr. Desalazar?
12:55Mom!
13:00Mom!
13:02Mom!
13:05But if the ghost of Desalazar
13:07isn't driving,
13:08then who is?
13:15This is gonna work.
13:18It's not working!
13:22No!
13:27Keiko,
13:28any sign of Fontaine?
13:30No, and her deadline
13:31is gone.
13:32What about the boys?
13:33Still missing,
13:34but we'll find them.
13:35Okay, I'll track down Fontaine.
13:41I thought I could keep him safe,
13:42keep him under my wing.
13:44We all think like that.
13:46Do we?
13:47I don't like Griffin
13:48going out for a walk by himself.
13:49Your boy puts himself
13:50face to face with sea monsters.
13:52Yes, and I wish he wouldn't.
13:54But you prepare him for it.
13:56Griffin's out there
13:57and he's not ready for
13:59whatever he's facing.
14:01Maybe, or maybe
14:02he's more ready
14:03than you realize.
14:12I can steer it!
14:13I knew I'd be a good captain!
14:15Who says you're the captain?
14:18The hat says so.
14:25The sketch is in this book.
14:27I think this engine
14:28is water-powered.
14:29Like the one on the Aeronax?
14:30Like an old version of it.
14:32The water level
14:33doesn't seem to stay consistent.
14:34Maybe that's why
14:35it sits still sometimes.
14:37It's refilling.
14:38And look!
14:40Oh no!
14:48How did it do that?
14:50It senses changes
14:51in the water pressure.
14:53That's how it avoided
14:54collisions over the years.
14:56What is that?
14:57A rowboat?
14:58Who still uses rowboats?
15:00We're in a 200-year-old
15:01wooden submarine.
15:03Good point.
15:04Is that Fontaine?
15:06What's she doing
15:07all the way out here?
15:08We're going too fast!
15:09We're gonna shoot right past her!
15:11We need to slow down
15:12and rise up!
15:13Okay.
15:14How about this?
15:17We're slowing down!
15:18What did you do?
15:19I don't know.
15:20I just pulled this lever.
15:28Whoa!
15:30Huh?
15:32Griffin!
15:33Come in.
15:34It's perfectly safe.
15:35And it's in charge.
15:37That doesn't sound
15:38perfectly safe.
15:43Wow.
15:45I know.
15:46It's creepy,
15:47but kinda cool.
15:48So far,
15:49just creepy.
15:50Where is this light
15:51coming from?
15:52I think it's an algae
15:53that traps
15:54bioluminescent gas.
15:55Or it's magic.
15:56Welcome to my ship!
15:58Your ship?
15:59Before me,
16:00the captain was a coat rack.
16:01Easiest mutiny ever.
16:03I think we're diving, guys.
16:06Ant,
16:07do you even know
16:08how to control this thing?
16:09Sort of.
16:10Except I don't really know
16:11where we are
16:12or where we're going.
16:15I know our current position.
16:16And I know the exact
16:17heading to Mom.
16:18Ant,
16:19can you do everything
16:20I tell you to?
16:21Everything's worth
16:22trying once.
16:24Steer us to port.
16:26To the west.
16:31Stop.
16:32Back a little to starboard.
16:35Stay on this course.
16:36We're going home.
16:43Um, guys?
16:44The sub is speeding up again.
16:46By itself.
16:47Whoa!
16:50What's going on?
16:51I don't know.
16:52We're dropping fast.
16:54But why?
16:55There has to be
16:56something in here.
16:57Come on, come on, come on.
16:59I thought this was a manual,
17:00but it's useless.
17:02Fontaine,
17:03take the wheel.
17:04Griffin,
17:05we need to go up.
17:06Try that lever again.
17:09It's not working.
17:11The weight of three people.
17:13De Salazar designed
17:14the sub for himself,
17:15alone.
17:16I get it.
17:17Weight is crucial.
17:18And we ruined it.
17:22A wooden sub
17:23can't possibly
17:24handle these depths.
17:25What does that mean?
17:26We're going to implode.
17:35We're falling faster.
17:46We're taking on water.
17:48I remember something
17:49from the dream.
17:51I need to find balance.
17:53And we could implode.
17:55Is this really the time
17:56to be discussing your dreams?
17:58That bubble.
17:59It indicates
18:00a con-sail stability.
18:01Should it be
18:02off-center like that?
18:04I just need
18:05to find
18:06the balance.
18:09I'm going to have to
18:10get out of here.
18:11I'm going to have
18:12to get out of here.
18:13I'm going to have
18:14to get out of here.
18:15I'm going to have
18:16to get out of here.
18:17We're balancing out.
18:19Fontaine,
18:20can you maintain course?
18:22I got this.
18:32That's not good.
18:33Ant,
18:34we need to go up,
18:35now!
18:36We can't.
18:37There's too much water.
18:38We need to turn
18:39off the water.
18:44Griffin!
18:45Griffin!
19:07All right!
19:08We did it!
19:11And you said
19:12you couldn't swim.
19:14I surprised myself, too.
19:21Beautiful.
19:25Balance,
19:26remember?
19:27This is where
19:28I was supposed to find Mom.
19:29I think.
19:30Hopefully,
19:31she's still nearby.
19:33Guys,
19:34this isn't a manual.
19:35I think this is
19:36de Salazar's diary.
19:38Salazar used
19:39glowing algae.
19:40I was right.
19:41Be careful.
19:44No!
19:47Got it.
19:48And I found you.
19:50Do I still pass?
19:52You pass.
19:53Dad,
19:54I went on an adventure
19:55and I didn't implode.
19:56Without Griffin,
19:57we'd still be down there.
20:00Not imploding
20:01goes in the
20:02win column.
20:06Incredible!
20:07De Salazar
20:08was years ahead
20:09of his time.
20:10Some of the ideas
20:11in here,
20:12oh,
20:13I think I've had
20:14enough adventures
20:15for today, anyway.
20:16There are plenty
20:17of adventures here
20:18with very little
20:19chance of imploding.
20:21How about we take
20:22the solar skis
20:23for a ride?
20:24Wow!
20:25Really?
20:26Really.
20:27Aha!
20:28Read.
20:29I am as proud of this,
20:30my con sail,
20:31as I am
20:32of any of my inventions.
20:33I believe
20:34this automated submersible
20:35could travel
20:36the limitless blue oceans
20:37long after I'm gone.
20:38Perhaps I may
20:39one day encounter
20:40that lost world
20:41I have always sought.
20:43Signed,
20:44Alessandro...
20:46Nekton!
20:47De Salazar
20:48was a Nekton?
20:50So,
20:51the water-powered engine
20:52on the con sail
20:53really was an early
20:54version of the Aeronax.
20:56The Nektons
20:57have been developing
20:58that technology
20:59for generations.
21:00Yes,
21:01quite remarkable.
21:03This sub
21:04is revolutionary!
21:06We could study it
21:07for weeks
21:08and only scratch
21:09the surface.
21:10Oh, this is
21:11so exciting!
21:13No!
21:14The con sail!
21:16Impossible!
21:17We stopped
21:18the con sail's engines!
21:19There's no way
21:20it could start up again!
21:21This is scientifically
21:22impossible!
21:23Science doesn't apply,
21:24Professor.
21:25Not to ghosts.
