The Deep (2015–…): Season 1, Episode 12 - The Phantom Sub - full transcript
Why do we always get stuck
with seaweed-clearing duty?
Between the three of us,
it'll be done pretty quickly.
Three of us?
Jeffrey's helping!
Good work, Jeffrey!
What's --
what's that?
Probably nothing.
No, what's that?
Probably something
[into radio] Mom, there's
something headed towards us.
There's nothing on sonar.
Yeah.
Well, that nothing
is getting closer!
Still nothing on
any instruments.
It's headed straight
for the Aronnax!
Mum, you gotta move!
[grunts]
Hold on, guys.
[grunts]
I hadn't held on yet!
It vanished.
What was that?
I don't know.
I do.
That - without a doubt -
was a ghost sub.
My family are explorers.
We have been
for generations.
While others look up
to 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 explorers.
And we explore...
THE DEEP!
Left.
Is there much damage,
Professor Fiction?
Hmm.
Lester, could you join us
in the hangar?
Looks like we need
a mechanic.
It was a ghost sub!
Look at Jeffrey.
He looks like he's seen
a ghost sub.
Ergo: He saw a ghost sub.
Makes sense.
It looked like it was made
of wood, but it glowed,
like a glow...fish.
Hmm.
Was it a glowfish?
No!
But it did have this
enormous mouth
that seemed to suck in water.
Swhooosh, swhoooosh!
Oh, wait!
That reminds me of something
I read in the...
I did not expect that sentence
to end there.
Griffin!
Ah, ugh!
That's what happens
when we run inside.
Sorry, Dad.
Ah, need a mechanic, then?
Damaged rudder.
We took a big hit.
We were attacked by
a Phantom Submarine!
It travels in the ocean,
looking for innocent sailors
to drag to their doom!
Probably.
Izzat so?
Were you scared?
[scoffs]
I'm not scared of anything.
But yes, I was very scared.
I wish I had adventures
like you.
No time.
There's work to do.
I knew your story reminded
me of something!
The sailor, Alessandro
De Salazar.
He was an inventor?
A genius!
Persecuted for
his wild theories.
Like me!
You're persecuted
by the conservative
scientific establishment?
Mostly by Fontaine.
Hmm.
His last invention
was back in 1801.
The Conseil, a one-of-a-kind
submarine
made of wood and steel.
That's it!
The Phantom Sub!
You're sure?
Definitely.
This is the sub we saw.
Ant.
The Conseil vanished
on its maiden voyage...
Well, it's back.
Scientifically speaking,
that shouldn't be possible.
Science doesn't apply professor,
Not to ghosts.
But why do I have
an assignment?
Because learning
is important.
That's what TV is for!
Remember the navigation
theory you've been studying?
Um... yeah.
Sure.
Then, these should
be familiar.
The navigation equipment
that our ancestors used.
But we have GPS now.
We don't need -
whatever this is.
It's a sextant.
Where's the screen?
Learning to navigate
the way old sailors did
will help you understand
the principles of navigation.
And modern equipment
can fail.
You just witnessed how something
as advanced as the Aronnax
can become disabled.
We'll hide something
in the ocean,
and you'll have to use these
old techniques to find it.
It shouldn't be difficult,
now that you've studied
all that theory.
Riiiight?
[sigh]
Fine.
I suppose I can use this to,
um...
tie things together?
It measures depth.
I knew that.
And remember:
We could give you a random
assignment at any time.
What? Why?
Well partly to make sure
you're always prepared.
And partly because
we find it funny.
Well. If people who lived before
the internet could do this,
I should totally own it.
[chuckles]
That's the spirit.
You know what they say.
If you don't learn
from the past,
it'll come back to haunt you.
[awkward laughter]
[sleepy mumbling]
[sleepy]
Wha...?
Ohhh...
...huh?
Wow!
[chuckles]
Ohhh.
Jeffrey?
Woah!
[gasps and grunts]
I need to find balance!
Ant...
Ahhhh!!
Ant! Ant!
[huge gasp]
Agghhhhh!!
Griffin?!
Do mechanics not sleep?
Sorry.
There's something
you should see.
On the other side
of the island.
Uh, what is it?
It's, um...
I-I don't want to say,
in case it's not there.
So, you're saying it's...
a mystery?
I guess?
So!
Should we take
the solar skis?
Just take them?
Like, ride them?
I'm, um - I'm not sure
if I should -
You want an adventure,
right?
Do you always have
this much fun?
Hah!
Sometimes more.
I should tell you.
I'm not a great swimmer.
Then I hope you're good
at holding on!
[laughs]
Follow me!
There, look!
Wowww.
I saw it this morning,
from the shore.
Did you tell your dad?
No.
He doesn't like me going
on unauthorized walks.
You think we should
move closer?
Uh, sure.
Do you?
Okay.
What happened?
Is it...
alive?
Can it hear us?
It can hear us!
No, no, no, this is bad -
Let's go!
Ant!...ohhh...
Oh no!
Ahhhh!!
NO!
Griffin!!
[heavy breaths]
Woah!
Woahhhh!
Good morning,
sleepy-head!
[yawns]
Surprise test time!
Why?
Sailors of old always had to be
ready for action.
They didn't get warnings
about storms,
or dangerous reefs,
or kraken attacks!
But the sun isn't even up yet.
Which makes it easier
to navigate by the stars.
Your mother is out there,
underwater in the White Knight.
Here are the coordinates.
You have an hour to find her,
using old navigation techniques.
In that boat?
Is it an antique?
It's the same boat I used
when I did this test.
So it is an antique.
Can't you handle
old equipment?
[scoffs] Of course I can.
I'm already an expert in -
This thingie.
And you can't use
your communicator
unless it's an emergency.
Got it?
Don't need it.
I have a rope, and a thingie,
and my own formidable wits.
[quietly]
...woahh.
Woah-woahhh!
[relieved sigh]
Dad!
Come in, dad!
Ant?
Why are you out so early?
The Conseil!
It has Griffin!
Hold on, calm down, Ant.
Where are you?
It's diving!
What?
I'm coming, Griffin!
[grunting and straining]
Ant!
Griffin!
Oh no...
You're okay!
What's happening?
We're diving.
Dad!
We're two miles north of -
Dad?
Ant? Can you hear me?
Please respond.
What happened to you?
I was sucked into a pipe,
I hit a filter.
I thought I was done for.
And then I looked up
and I found a hatch.
No!
It'd flood if we open it now.
So, we're trapped?
I think so.
Who's driving?
I don't know...
Ant?
Do you read me?
If this is a prank,
tell me now.
I promise to laugh.
Come on, Ant.
Just answer me.
"The Conseil"?
Excuse me, Will.
Have you seen the boys?
Griffin's not in his room
and two solar-skis are missing.
Ant said the Phantom Sub
took Griffin,
and then we lost contact.
What?!
Probably just a prank.
You know how boys are.
They're probably just having
a little adventure.
[sighs]
I always told Griffin that
adventures were for fools.
Come on.
Let's go find our boys.
It sounds strange but it could
be nothing.
I'm going to head out in
the Rover just to be sure.
I'll stay put - I should be
here when Fontaine finds me.
Okay.
Are you coming?
I usually just fix the subs.
I've never really travelled
in one before.
It's okay if you don't want
to come.
I'm sure I'll find the boys.
Nah.
I'm-I'm coming.
Can anyone read me?
Dad? Dad?
[sighs]
Nothing. No signal at all.
This hull is thick
varnished wood.
It could be blocking
the signal?
There has to be
someone driving.
According to its tracker,
one of the solar-skis
is right above us.
The other one's
just over there.
But where are the boys?
Griffin doesn't...oh, I never
really let him swim.
Let's be calm and not jump
to any conclusions.
They're together.
They'll be fine.
Let's keep looking.
Okay, if that star is there
and...oh, I get it!
I totally get it!
I have conquered you,
sextant!
And that means mum should
be right over--
Whoa!
Woahhhh-!
[gasps]
No!
Oh no.
Are all your adventures
like this?
They're not usually this...
scary.
At least it can't get
any scarier.
For future reference,
on adventures:
We never, ever
say things like that.
Ugh-!
[gasps]
It's him.
De Salazar.
Whoa!
Not gonna use it.
Not an emergency.
Not yet.
Uh, Mister De Salazar?
(Both): AAAAAGHHH!
[relieved sigh]
But, if the ghost of De Salazar
isn't driving...
...then who is?
This is gonna work.
It's not working!
No!
[groans]
Kaiko?
Any sign of Fontaine?
No.
And her deadline
has come and gone.
What about the boys?
Still missing.
But we'll find them.
Okay.
I'll track down Fontaine.
[sighs]
I thought I could
keep him safe,
keep him under my wing.
[chuckles]
We all think like that.
Do we?
I don't like Griffin going
out for a walk by himself.
Your boy puts himself
face-to-face with sea monsters.
Yes.
And I wish he wouldn't.
But you prepare him for it.
Griffin's out there.
And he's not ready for
whatever's he's facing.
Maybe.
Or he maybe he's more ready
than you realize?
I can steer it!
I knew I'd be a good Captain.
Who says you're the captain?
The hat says so.
The sketches in this book...
I think this engine
is water-powered!
Like the one on the Aronnax?
Like an old version of it.
The water level doesn't seem
to stay consistent.
Maybe that's why it sits
still sometimes.
It's refilling.
Ant, look!
[gasps]
Oh no!
How did it do that?
It senses changes
in the water pressure.
That's how it avoided collisions
over the years.
What is that?
A rowboat?
Who still uses rowboats?
We're in a 200-year-old
wooden submarine.
Good point.
Is that Fontaine?
What's she doing
all the way out here?
We're going too fast!
We're going to shoot
right past her.
We need to slow down
and rise up.
Okay.
How about...this.
We're slowing down!
What did you do?
I don't know.
I just...pulled this lever.
[strained breathing]
Woah!
...huh?
Griffin!
Come in!
It's perfectly safe.
Ant's in charge!
[grunts]
That doesn't sound
'perfectly safe'.
Wow.
I know.
It's creepy,
but kind of cool.
So far, just creepy.
Where is this light
coming from?
I think it's an algae that
traps bioluminescent gas.
Or it's magic.
Welcome to my ship!
Your ship?
Before me, the captain was
a coat rack.
Easiest mutiny ever.
Ah...
I think we're diving, guys.
Ant, do you even know how
to control this thing?
Sort of.
Except I don't really know
where we are.
Or where we're going.
I know our current position.
And I know the exact heading
to mom.
Ant, can you do everything
I tell you to?
Everything's worth trying once.
Steer us to port.
To the west.
Stop!
Back a little to starboard.
Stay on this course.
We're going home.
Uh, guys?
The sub is speeding up again.
By itself.
WOAH!
We're dropping fast!
But why?!
Oh, there has to be something
in here.
Come on, come on,
come on -
I thought this was a manual,
but it's useless!
Fontaine, take the wheel!
Griffin, we need to go up.
Try that lever again.
It's not working!
The weight of three people!
De Salazar designed the sub
for himself alone.
I get it.
Weight is crucial.
And we ruined it!
A wooden sub can't possibly
handle these depths!
What does that mean?!
We're gonna implode!
Uhhh!
Ohhhh!
[groans]
We're falling faster!
WOAHHH!!
We're taking on water!
Uhhhh...oh!
I remember something
from the dream.
I need to find balance.
Ant, we could implode!
Is this really the time to be
discussing your dreams?
That bubble.
It indicates the
Conseil's stability.
Should it be off-centre
like that?
I just need...to find...
the balance.
We're balancing out.
Fontaine, can you
maintain course?
I got this.
That's not good.
Ant, we need to go up!
Now!
[straining]
We can't!
There's too much water!
We need to turn off
the water.
[deep breath]
Griffin!
Woo-hoo!
Yes!
We did it!
And you said you
couldn't swim.
Heh.
I surprised myself too.
Ahhh.
Beautiful.
[heavy sigh]
Whoa!
Balance, remember?!
This is where I was supposed
to find Mom.
I think.
Hopefully she's still nearby.
Guys.
This isn't a manual.
I think this is De Salazar's
diary!
Salazar used glowing algae.
I was right!
Be careful!
Woah, woah, woahhh!!
No!
Ah! Got it.
And I found you!...
Do I still pass?
[chuckles]
You pass.
Dad!
I went on an adventure
and I didn't implode!
Without Griffin we'd still be
down there.
[sigh]
"Not imploding" goes
in the win column.
Incredible.
De Salazar was years ahead
of his time.
Some of the ideas
in here...
oh, the adventures he had!
Uh, I think I've had
enough adventures,
for today anyway.
There're plenty of
adventures here,
with very little chance
of imploding.
How about we take the solar-skis
for a ride?
Wow, really?
Really.
[gasps]
A-ha!
Read.
"I am as proud of this,
my Conseil,
"as I am of any of my
inventions.
"I believe this automated
submersible could travel
"the limitless blue oceans
long after I'm gone.
"Perhaps it may one day
encounter
"that lost world I have
always sought."
It's signed...
"Alessandro Nekton"!
[gasps]
De Salazar was a Nekton?
So the water powered engine
on the Conseil...?
...Really was an early version
of the Aronnax.
The Nektons have been
developing that technology
for generations.
Yes. Quite remarkable.
Hah!
This sub is revolutionary.
We could study it for weeks
and only scratch the surface.
Oh this is so exciting!
Oh no!
The Conseil!
AH!
Impossible.
We stopped the Conseil's
engines.
There's no way it could
start up again.
Oh this is scientifically
impossible!
Science doesn't apply,
Professor.
Not to ghosts.
♪
with seaweed-clearing duty?
Between the three of us,
it'll be done pretty quickly.
Three of us?
Jeffrey's helping!
Good work, Jeffrey!
What's --
what's that?
Probably nothing.
No, what's that?
Probably something
[into radio] Mom, there's
something headed towards us.
There's nothing on sonar.
Yeah.
Well, that nothing
is getting closer!
Still nothing on
any instruments.
It's headed straight
for the Aronnax!
Mum, you gotta move!
[grunts]
Hold on, guys.
[grunts]
I hadn't held on yet!
It vanished.
What was that?
I don't know.
I do.
That - without a doubt -
was a ghost sub.
My family are explorers.

We were attacked by
a Phantom Submarine!

Probably.
Izzat so?
Were you scared?

I'm not scared of anything.

Agghhhhh!!
Griffin?!
Do mechanics not sleep?
Sorry.
There's something

On the other side

It's, um...
I-I don't want to say,

Wowww.
I saw it this morning,
from the shore.
Did you tell your dad?
No.
He doesn't like me going
on unauthorized walks.
You think we should
move closer?
Uh, sure.
Do you?
Okay.
What happened?
Is it...
alive?
Can it hear us?
It can hear us!
No, no, no, this is bad -
Let's go!
Ant!...ohhh...
Oh no!
Ahhhh!!
NO!
Griffin!!
[heavy breaths]
Woah!
Woahhhh!
Good morning,

Ant?
Why are you out so early?
The Conseil!

Hold on, calm down, Ant.
Where are you?
It's diving!
What?
I'm coming, Griffin!
[grunting and straining]
Ant!
Griffin!
Oh no...
You're okay!
What's happening?
We're diving.
Dad!
We're two miles north of -
Dad?

Please respond.
What happened to you?
I was sucked into a pipe,

Excuse me, Will.
Have you seen the boys?
Griffin's not in his room

Ant said the Phantom Sub
took Griffin,
and then we lost contact.
What?!
Probably just a prank.
You know how boys are.
They're probably just having
a little adventure.
[sighs]
I always told Griffin that
adventures were for fools.
Come on.
Let's go find our boys.
It sounds strange but it could
be nothing.
I'm going to head out in
the Rover just to be sure.
I'll stay put - I should be
here when Fontaine finds me.
Okay.
Are you coming?
I usually just fix the subs.
I've never really travelled
in one before.
It's okay if you don't want
to come.
I'm sure I'll find the boys.
Nah.
I'm-I'm coming.
Can anyone read me?
Dad? Dad?
[sighs]
Nothing. No signal at all.
This hull is thick
varnished wood.
It could be blocking

There has to be

According to its tracker,
one of the solar-skis
is right above us.
The other one's

But where are the boys?
Griffin doesn't...oh, I never
really let him swim.
Let's be calm and not jump
to any conclusions.
They're together.
They'll be fine.
Let's keep looking.
Okay, if that star is there
and...oh, I get it!
I totally get it!
I have conquered you,
sextant!
And that means mum should
be right over--
Whoa!
Woahhhh-!
[gasps]
No!
Oh no.
Are all your adventures
like this?
They're not usually this...
scary.
At least it can't get
any scarier.
For future reference,
on adventures:
We never, ever
say things like that.
Ugh-!
[gasps]
It's him.
De Salazar.
Whoa!
Not gonna use it.
Not an emergency.
Not yet.
Uh, Mister De Salazar?
(Both): AAAAAGHHH!
[relieved sigh]
But, if the ghost of De Salazar
isn't driving...
...then who is?
This is gonna work.
It's not working!
No!
[groans]
Kaiko?
Any sign of Fontaine?
No.
And her deadline
has come and gone.
What about the boys?
Still missing.
But we'll find them.
Okay.
I'll track down Fontaine.
[sighs]
I thought I could
keep him safe,
keep him under my wing.
[chuckles]
We all think like that.
Do we?
I don't like Griffin going
out for a walk by himself.
Your boy puts himself
face-to-face with sea monsters.
Yes.
And I wish he wouldn't.
But you prepare him for it.
Griffin's out there.
And he's not ready for
whatever's he's facing.
Maybe.
Or he maybe he's more ready
than you realize?
I can steer it!
I knew I'd be a good Captain.
Who says you're the captain?
The hat says so.
The sketches in this book...
I think this engine
is water-powered!
Like the one on the Aronnax?
Like an old version of it.
The water level doesn't seem
to stay consistent.
Maybe that's why it sits
still sometimes.
It's refilling.
Ant, look!
[gasps]
Oh no!
How did it do that?
It senses changes
in the water pressure.
That's how it avoided collisions
over the years.
What is that?
A rowboat?
Who still uses rowboats?
We're in a 200-year-old
wooden submarine.
Good point.
Is that Fontaine?
What's she doing
all the way out here?
We're going too fast!
We're going to shoot
right past her.
We need to slow down
and rise up.
Okay.
How about...this.
We're slowing down!
What did you do?
I don't know.
I just...pulled this lever.
[strained breathing]
Woah!
...huh?
Griffin!
Come in!
It's perfectly safe.
Ant's in charge!
[grunts]
That doesn't sound
'perfectly safe'.
Wow.
I know.
It's creepy,
but kind of cool.
So far, just creepy.
Where is this light
coming from?
I think it's an algae that
traps bioluminescent gas.
Or it's magic.
Welcome to my ship!
Your ship?
Before me, the captain was
a coat rack.
Easiest mutiny ever.
Ah...
I think we're diving, guys.
Ant, do you even know how
to control this thing?
Sort of.
Except I don't really know
where we are.
Or where we're going.
I know our current position.
And I know the exact heading
to mom.
Ant, can you do everything
I tell you to?
Everything's worth trying once.
Steer us to port.
To the west.
Stop!
Back a little to starboard.
Stay on this course.
We're going home.
Uh, guys?
The sub is speeding up again.
By itself.
WOAH!
We're dropping fast!
But why?!
Oh, there has to be something
in here.
Come on, come on,
come on -
I thought this was a manual,
but it's useless!
Fontaine, take the wheel!
Griffin, we need to go up.
Try that lever again.
It's not working!
The weight of three people!
De Salazar designed the sub
for himself alone.
I get it.
Weight is crucial.
And we ruined it!
A wooden sub can't possibly
handle these depths!
What does that mean?!
We're gonna implode!
Uhhh!
Ohhhh!
[groans]
We're falling faster!
WOAHHH!!
We're taking on water!
Uhhhh...oh!
I remember something
from the dream.
I need to find balance.
Ant, we could implode!
Is this really the time to be
discussing your dreams?
That bubble.
It indicates the
Conseil's stability.
Should it be off-centre
like that?
I just need...to find...
the balance.
We're balancing out.
Fontaine, can you
maintain course?
I got this.
That's not good.
Ant, we need to go up!
Now!
[straining]
We can't!
There's too much water!
We need to turn off
the water.
[deep breath]
Griffin!
Woo-hoo!
Yes!
We did it!
And you said you
couldn't swim.
Heh.
I surprised myself too.
Ahhh.
Beautiful.
[heavy sigh]
Whoa!
Balance, remember?!
This is where I was supposed
to find Mom.
I think.
Hopefully she's still nearby.
Guys.
This isn't a manual.
I think this is De Salazar's
diary!
Salazar used glowing algae.
I was right!
Be careful!
Woah, woah, woahhh!!
No!
Ah! Got it.
And I found you!...
Do I still pass?
[chuckles]
You pass.
Dad!
I went on an adventure
and I didn't implode!
Without Griffin we'd still be
down there.
[sigh]
"Not imploding" goes
in the win column.
Incredible.
De Salazar was years ahead
of his time.
Some of the ideas
in here...
oh, the adventures he had!
Uh, I think I've had
enough adventures,
for today anyway.
There're plenty of
adventures here,
with very little chance
of imploding.
How about we take the solar-skis
for a ride?
Wow, really?
Really.
[gasps]
A-ha!
Read.
"I am as proud of this,
my Conseil,
"as I am of any of my
inventions.
"I believe this automated
submersible could travel
"the limitless blue oceans
long after I'm gone.
"Perhaps it may one day
encounter
"that lost world I have
always sought."
It's signed...
"Alessandro Nekton"!
[gasps]
De Salazar was a Nekton?
So the water powered engine
on the Conseil...?
...Really was an early version
of the Aronnax.
The Nektons have been
developing that technology
for generations.
Yes. Quite remarkable.
Hah!
This sub is revolutionary.
We could study it for weeks
and only scratch the surface.
Oh this is so exciting!
Oh no!
The Conseil!
AH!
Impossible.
We stopped the Conseil's
engines.
There's no way it could
start up again.
Oh this is scientifically
impossible!
Science doesn't apply,
Professor.
Not to ghosts.
