Remember Jeffrey, the Junior

Nektons are our guests....

...so, when they get here...

...don't forget to smile.

Dazzling!

You charmer.

Yes!

I now have their entire schedule

mapped out...

Um...about that...

... you're really sure



you two can handle

hosting eight-year-old kids?

On your own?

For a whole day?

Is that a trick question?

It's just that, looking

after children is...

hard.

Ha!

As if??

Oh - you're serious?

And I'm just having trouble

picturing you two cooperating

because...



how do I put this?

It rarely happens.

Puh-leese.

We always work perfectly

together!

We're like two peas in a-

Shoebox!

Exactly!

[chuckles]

C'mon.

These Junior Nektons

are gonna get to see

a Whale Migration up-close.

They'll be too amazed

to be any trouble.

And me personally,

I'm totally relaxed.

My motto -

"have fun and everything takes

care of itself".

And suddenly, I don't know

this person...

Finally!

[helicopter whirring]

Come on Allen! Move!

[grunts]

[gags]

Is it always rocking like this?

I can't wait to meet Fontaine!

Very cool Ted.

Very, very cool Todd.

Welcome Junior Nek -

Welcome members of the Worldwide

Junior Nekton Fan club,

to The Aronnax -

OR SHOULD I SAY, OUR HOME,

THE OCEAN.

A PLACE THAT'S FILLED WITH

AS MUCH FUN, AS IT IS KRILL-

SO I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION

FOR YOU, JUNIOR NEKTONS-

ARE YOU READY

TO HAVE FUN?!

[sighs]

Ok.

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!



So Charlie,

if you have any

questions about becoming

a future submarine captain,

you know who to ask.

Fontaine!

Yep! Fontaine, that's who

I meant.

She's just gonna mingle...

Nice smile, Jeffrey!

Fontaine!

Aahh!

I read that you love seabirds!

Oh...

Ant wrote that on my profile

but, really - -

so I learned the calls of

all 312 species of seabird,

just for you.

Number one - The Red

Footed Booby:

[squawks]

Uh... you're really only eight?

Actually, I'm only seven.

I turn eight next month.

[squawks]

Jeffrey looks bigger

on his poster.

Do you feed him enough?

Oh yeah, Jeffrey eats

like a little walrus.

This is delicious red kelp.

Actually, uh...

Jeffrey doesn't eat kelp.

And now suddenly

you like it?

You could have told me.

Number 15, The Shy Albatross:

[caws]

That Albatross doesn't

sound shy.

Attention Junior Nektons!

This is the moment you've

been waiting for!

I present...

The annual Sperm Whale

migration!

(All): Wwwhhhoooaaaahhh!

Physeter macro-cephalus -

in the flesh!

I... was...

just about to say that.

[sighs]

Now everyone - part

of our conservation work....

Uh please, Mum...

I got this.

Part of our conservation work

involves tracking

these huge mammals.

You mean...?

...you follow them?

No Ted - and-or Todd -

we place electronic trackers

on the lead male.

Or "bull" as it is more

commonly known.

...um...exactly - and

that's where our parents

are heading right now.

We'll be back in ten.

Enjoy the show!

Uh...you...you've got this?

We've so got this.

[caws]

And I'll be describing

every step

of this fascinating process...

(All): WHOOOOAAAAAAA...

This is the coolest...

....thing ever!

Why are my ears clicking?

That clicking sound is...

...the whales talking

to each other.

Heh heh,

that giant nose

makes a sperm whale's clicks

the loudest...

...sound produced by

any single animal!

Thank you, Allen.

If you look out the window

you'll see...

...that skilled drone pilot,

Will Nekton,

is placing the tracker now...

Tracker attached

to dorsal ridge.

Getting a signal Fontaine?

Strong and clear.

Excuse me - should we

be concerned about that?

Personally, I am.

If you zoom in I think you'll

find that that's a drift net.

Right in the path of those

whales.

[gasps]

A drift net!?

How far away?

It's twelve degrees north -

3.5 nautical miles away.

At the whale's current speed,

the lead whales will hit it

in 20 minutes.

We're on our way!

What would happen if...

...the whales hit...

..the net?

Those nets are lethal Ted.

Or Todd.

Whales that get tangled up

can drown.

Fontaine - "fun" remember?

Did you know that sperm whales

sleep vertically?

I tried sleeping

like that once.

I fell over...

...yeah, onto me.

Can you cut through it dad?

We've got power shears -

and the Rover's arms.

We should be able to.

But we don't have much time.

We need to remove it

before the whales get there.

That doesn't look right.

(All): Are those...

...Lobster pots?

The baby one can't reach

the surface to breathe.

I get asthma,

so I can relate.

Two whale emergencies

at once?

Really?

Uh, should we call...

...your parents?

No.

They've got their own

whale emergency.

Hey. We can handle stuff too.

And I'm staying here with

the Junior Nektons because...?

That baby needs help right now

and a Knight is our best option.

And also 'cos I'm faster

than you.

Huh.

The Lobster pots look like

they're wrapped really tight.

She understands I want

to help...

Steady little guy.

It's gonna be okay.

We just need to get these ropes

off you.

AAhhh!

Ant? Are you okay?

Ant?

Ant can you read me?

Ant!

Ant?

Ant come in, do you read?

Uhh, is there some 'alternate

holiday package' for us

- if this turns ugly?

[groans]

Fontaine, I'm okay.

[sighs]

The baby didn't understand

what you were doing.

I still have to try.

Drift nets are totally

illegal here.

And this one looks huge.

It's worse in person -

look.

And these fishermen just

don't care what they catch.

Dolphins, sea-lions, whales...

Sometimes I...

I know.

Me too.

But we have eight minutes

before the lead whales arrive.

This calf needs oxygen -

and it can't reach the surface.

I think I've got it!

Got what?

You know how some of my best

plans involve

an element of risk?

Your worst ones, too.

Make sure the moon-pool door

is wide open

- and the harness is ready.

You're kidding...

You're bringing it aboard...?

The calf won't like it

and the Mum will hate it.

But it's the only place

it'll get air to survive.

[groans]

Heheh.

That'll be so much fun!

[squawking]

Can we help?

Why not?!...heh.

You won't like this,

but it's for your own good.

[whale squealing]

It'll be okay little guy...

[whale squealing]

C'mon - c'mon...

Fontaine!

Harness up now!

Close the moon-pool!

Hurry!

Aaaah!!!!!!!

Are we sinking?

No. It's the mother whale.

She's trying to get

the calf back.

We have to hurry.

The mother isn't happy.

Ted and Todd -

grab the hose!

(Both): Yes Fontaine.

Stay back!

But keep the calf hydrated.

ARGH!

[coughs]

The calf!

Not me!

(Both): ...sorry!

Allen, on that monitor!

That device will give you

a read-out

of the calf's vital signs.

Is that pulse -

and blood pressure...?

Whoa - they're

all over the place.

At least it can breathe.

I'll try to make this quick....

Fontaine?

Can't talk right now Mom...

We've got a whale aboard...

Woahhh!

Did you say "whale"...?

Just a baby...

we can handle it.

A baby?...

What..?

She said "whale", right?

She did.

How long have we got here?

Maybe three minutes.

Fontaine...

I want details...

...and you'll get them.

Guess what this is!

Ca-caw, ca-caw, ca-caw!

Charlie!

Do you want to get squashed?!

Stay back!

What?

Who's getting squashed?

Nobody!

Gotta go Mum!

Pulse getting faster still.

Do we have anti-nausea

medication?

Not enough for a whale.

I meant for me.

[whale call]

[clicks and squeals]

Charlie!

Ugh!

Fontaine-

NO!

Please obey instructions

young lady!

Move away!

But I...

All these numbers keep dropping.

[pounding]

[grunts]

Right!

Let's get you back

in the water!

It's damaged!

It won't open!

So -

[gags]

how do we get

the calf out?

...I really don't...know.

Will, we're out of time!

Look!

I'll pull the net tight,

you start cutting!

Okay, Will, now!

What's that...?

This is how I find the owner.

[struggling]

Boys!

Be careful in here.

That button floods

the moon-pool!

(Both): Sorry!

All of the calf's vital

signs are way down

in the red zone.

(Both): Why can't we hear

the mother any more Ant?

The mother can't hear

the calf's call anymore,

so she's returned to the other

whales without him.

Right Ant?

And this little guy

will never survive

without his mother's milk.

Where's Charlie?

She ran off...

She was making these

sad little bird noises.

She was upset with you.

[sighs]

Oh no...

C'mon, moon-pool, open up.

Rover to Aronnax...

Ant, are you there?

Here Dad.

And things aren't going

too well.

Charlie!

I'm sorry I told you to go away.

Charlie?

Dad, the Iris still won't open!

Use that overactive

imagination of yours, Ant.

You will find a solution.

[sighs]

....maybe.

Maybe not.

This calf has a very low

life expectancy...

So what are you gonna do?!

You've got all

the answers Allen!

Why don't you tell me?

Well, I...

I just know what I read

in books.

I'm not like you.

You solve things.

Yeah....sometimes.

Remember when you rescued

the albino megamouth shark

from freezing in the Fjord?

Or - or when you escaped

that collapsing underwater cave?

Yeah!

Remember when you

single-handedly steered

the Aronnax...

out of that whirlpool!

How do you remember

these stories?

I remember every Ant Nekton

story.

Ant Nekton is my hero.

Ant - you're the reason

I became interested

in the ocean in the first place.

If there's one thing Ant Nekton

has taught me,

it's that you gotta 'Have Faith

In The Fish'!

(Both): Yeah! Have

Faith In The Fish!

Although, it is a whale,

so the correct motto is Have

Faith In The Mammal...

Oh, watch that button!

It floods the whole....

Ted or Todd.

One of you has given

me an idea.

We should flood the room!

Charlie?

[sighs]

[clears throat]

Charlie, I'm not great

at apologies.

I never really have

to apologize to Ant.

He's always wrong.

But I'm sorry.

Today I learned how hard

it is to raise kids

in this fast-paced modern...

submarine.

I learned this...

[whale noises]

Wait...

Is that the mother whale..?

Would you like the baby too?

Listen.

[whale noises]

Hah!

Charlie -- you may have

just saved the day!

Okay, Allen, fill the moon

pool up to here.

We need to create enough

pressure to force the door.

Are we going to need

scuba gear?

Yeah.

That might be a good idea.

Okay, Charlie,

before the mother whale

gets too far away,

maybe we can bring her

back by using your whale sounds

over the exterior speakers...

Does that sound like a plan?

[whale noises]

Okay - I'll see if we can use

the extra pressure

to force the outer door open.

Come...on!

Hmm.

The Laser-Cutter!

[whale noises]

I love this girl!

[whale noises]

Mom, Dad, can you see

the mother whale?

Nothing here, Fontaine.

We'll turn back and see

if we can find her.

[grunts]

Just need to straighten

this a bit more.

Yes!

Allen, try to open it now.

Awesome! It worked!

Oh, no!

Careful!!

We created a whirlpool

from the pressure.

Hang on tight!

Aaaah!!!!!

No!

Aaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!

Fontaine? We have a problem!!

Ant!

The Junior Nektons are

in the ocean!?

I know, I know...

I'm trying to fix this...

Gotcha!

Got 'em, Fontaine!

The calf, it just doesn't know

what to do.

It's lost, and it's not gonna

make it without the mother.

Can you see

the mother whale?

No, no sign.

[whale noises]

Oh, this isn't good.

The calf won't survive

alone like this.

Oh no.

[whale noises]

Huh?

[squeals]

Charlie!

You did it!

[laughs]

Ahh...is that a hostile

expression?

No one move.

Just stay calm.

Uh - this is okay

...I think she knows

that we're friends.

Guys...hold on!

[cheering]

Woohoo! Yeah!

Is that what I think it is?

Hah!

Are you seeing this...?

She's bringing them back!

Woah!

Yeah, all right!

She's bringing them home...

Okay, let go!

Heh.

You're welcome.

I used this to track down

the fishing company.

They were nice enough to collect

that net in a hurry.

Bye Mr. and Mrs. Nekton...

....we'll miss you.

We'll miss you too Ted.

Was that Ted?

Uh. No idea.

KAARKAAKRRAAAAAK.

And that was Number 24.

The Sooty Shearwater!

[chuckles]

Wow.

All right.

A pity I never got to hear

all 312.

I could put them all

on a CD for you!

That... would be great!

[chirping]

You know, a couple more

whale rides,

and you'd make a great

Ant Nekton.

Uh, thanks, but I'll stick

to being me;

plain old Allen Maximus

Lobanov-Rostovskii III,

Lord of Frombork.

That's your name??

See you later Jeffrey.

Be good!

Wow. Look at that smile!

I know!

It's dazzling, right?

So charismatic.

HAVE FAITH IN THE FISH!!

Hmph.

Have faith in the fish.

Ant, look!

So - you still think taking care

of kids is easy?

You are so lucky you've got us.

We must make your job

so simple.

(Both) ...what?
