The Deep (2015–…): Season 1, Episode 21 - Bad Luck Fish - full transcript
( Middle Eastern Music ) ♪♪
AHH!
Hmm.
( Middle Eastern Music ) ♪♪
Good evening, Dolos.
William Nekton.
A pleasure, as always.
A-hem...
Ah, yes.
The child is also here.
In the last week,
three boats have sunk
in the Sargasso Sea.
Oh, so sad.
But life goes on, yes?
Two Trawlers went down -
and a solo yachtsman.
We managed to rescue him.
Heart-warming story.
If there is a medal for
retrieving foolish yachtsmen,
I hope you receive it.
Why are you bothering me?
Those aboard the trawlers
reported seeing
a purple fish before they sank.
The yachtsman mentioned
the same fish.
The yachtsmen said
the fish was bad luck.
Do you know anything
about this?
I know many things
about many fish.
Could you be more specific?
Ah.
Very specific.
There.
The "Bad Luck Fish".
So - it's a giant,
monster fish?!
This drawing is actual size.
...oh.
According to the stories,
the bad luck fish causes
ships to sink.
Superstitious nonsense,
of course.
But the legend goes back to
the very first recorded sinking
in the Sargasso Sea
in 1521.
Uh, the first recorded
sinking was in 500 BC.
Ugh.
Tell the child he's wrong.
According to a text
in our possession,
a Phoenician treasure ship,
carrying precious artifacts,
sank in 500 BC.
In the exact same spot
this latest yacht sank.
Very bad luck.
Mister Dolos.
This fish is our only clue.
If we can work out why ships
sink in the Sargasso,
we can save lives!
Yes, uh.
Wait here a moment while
I...retrieve something.
Where's he going?
Maybe he's coming back
with more information?
( engine starting )
He's not coming back
with more information.
Nope.
He's gone after the treasure
ship in the Sargasso sea.
Yep.
Can I gloat lots if we have
to rescue him?
Absolutely.
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!
♪
The report has
the trawler sinking
at 22 degrees north latitude
and 66 degrees west longitude.
I am at the location of
the treasure ship.
Where are you?!
Stalled.
Our engines are clogged
with seaweed.
I need a salvage crew!
Right now!
Our boat ain't goin' anywhere,
Dolos!
Ridiculous!
How could a boat be paralyzed
by seaweed?!
Just bad luck I guess.
Ugh!
( engine attempting to start )
Ah! You!
Go away!
What...?
Ah!
( choking )
What is...
( choking )
happening?!
( beeping )
A water-activated distress
beacon has just gone off!
Hah, Dolos.
Where is he?
The exact coordinates
of the sunken ship.
Ant, Fontaine.
Go get him and have fun.
( choking )
Agghh!
Help! Somebody help!
Hello, Mister Dolos.
Somebody else, help!
Did the Bad Luck Fish
sink your boat?
( panting )
The only bad luck
is you two being here!
So, you don't want us
to rescue you?
( whimpers )
Maybe...
I do?
Aaahh!
Augh!
We'll take you
aboard the Aronnax.
Underwater?
No. That is unnatural.
And disturbing.
I will stay here.
Hah!
Are you scared of
going underwater?
I am scared of nothing!
C'mon...
Since we're already picking
up one grumpy looking passenger,
we may as well pick up another,
as a sample.
Fontaine, are you sure
you wanna bring
a bad luck fish on board?
Ant, nobody knows
about this species!
We should study it
while we can.
But all the boats
that have sunk?
There's always a rational
explanation.
Ah, an annoying child who says
something almost-sensible.
How rare.
Aaghhh!
I will remain here.
Where I can quickly escape
from this giant underwater
metal death trap.
Ant?
Can you bring Dolos to
the bridge immediately?
We need to talk.
I have far more important
things to do
than socialize
with your parents.
Or you.
Especially you.
Hmm.
Are you planning on stealing
our Rover
and looking for sunken
Phoenician treasure?
( gibberish mimicry )
( sigh )
Dad?
This could take a while.
Drag him if you have to.
I want to know exactly
how his boat sank.
I'll try.
But I think he's scared.
( Dolos ): I am scared
of nothing!
Hmm. Any debris or solid objects
on sonar that Dolos
might have collided with?
Nothing but seaweed.
Bad Luck Fish, huh?
( kissing sound )
Let's see if we can find
what you really are in... this.
Ooh! Ah!
OOF!
( heavy sigh )
UGH!
Huh?
Hah!
That was just a case of
poorly stacked books...
and a bit of clumsiness
on my part.
But definitely NOT bad luck!
Right Jeffrey?
Hmm.
Looks like the bad luck fish
are taking an interest
in the Aronnax.
Will, they're not bad luck fish.
That's absurd!
They have all the luck
of regular fish.
Ow!
Woahhh!
Ugh!
Did we hit something?
No!
I don't know what this is!
Let go!
Augh!
( panicking )
Hey!
Stop that!
Ahhh!
Woah!
Dolos, what are you doing?!
Getting out of this death trap!
WOAH!
( Ant ): But you don't know how
to drive the Rover!
( Dolos ): Do too!
We're still dropping!
Why??!
I don't know!
Ugh!
Huh?
No!
AUGH!
We're in free fall!
( struggle )
Huh?
See?
Your submarine is a giant,
underwater death trap!
NO!!
Mum? Dad?
Are you okay?
Talk to me!
Is everyone all right?
Ugh...
Huh.
Ugh.
We're fine, Ant.
Ant, can you hear me?
The purple fish.
It's inside Jeffrey's tubes!
It's inside the Aronnax!
Bigger problems here,
Fontaine.
Ugh, but mom--!
Some systems are offline.
Navigation, heating...
...lighting.
We have to get that fish
off the Aronnax.
Fontaine, you can't
possibly believe
that this was caused by
a "Bad Luck Fish".
I didn't.
Then we brought one on board
and five minutes later
we were stuck on the bottom
of the sea.
That seems like bad luck to me.
Look, we need to focus
our energy
on re-starting the engines.
You're right.
You and I will work on
the engines.
Fontaine take care of that fish.
Not you too!
I'm not saying the fish
is bad luck.
I'm just saying I want it off
our sub.
We should be searching
for the treasure,
not wasting our time--
We're going to rescue
my family.
You can help, or
you can complain.
I choose to complain!
I choose to say 'be quiet,
I'm concentrating'.
I choose to not take orders
from children!
Oww!
Ahh!
( Ant ): Why do you keep
doing this?!
You know you can't drive!
( kissing sound )
Woah!
( panting )
Ah, woah!
Oww!
Just a coincidence, Fontaine.
The Ocean floor here
is unstable.
Do you think it could collapse
entirely?
( crash sounds )
I think we should find a way to
surface as quickly as possible.
Ugh, stop it, Dolos!
We're going the wrong way!
YOU are going the wrong way!
I am going MY way!
Look! The bad luck fish!
You are trying to distract me!
I only stop for Phoenician
treasure!
Get back! Back back!
Dolos - you have
to listen to me!
Are you talking about treasure?
No!
Then no - I don't.
Aarggghhhh!
( together )
Aaaagghhh!
Oww!
Ooww!
Let me drive!
You'll make us--
AUGH!
...crash.
( groan )
Okay, re-starting engines.
That seems like a good sign.
So, let's get out of here.
( sigh )
We're not moving.
Our ballast still isn't venting!
We need to release water.
We're too heavy.
The release pipe is blocked?
It must be.
Which means we need someone
on the outside.
The ocean floor will be blocking
the moon pool door,
but there are other ways.
I'll head out.
Yes!
( chuckles )
I've got you now.
Woah!
Oof!
( groans )
It's not bad luck.
It's just a matter of time
before I tripped over this mess!
Aww, poor Jeffrey.
The bad luck fish sure has
a crush on you.
Huh.
Maybe we can help
each other out.
Well, we're stuck.
( panicked breathing )
Not good.
This is not good.
( gasp )
The fish!
It's true.
It's all true.
They are bad luck.
They are cursed!
Stop panicking!
Think of the treasure!
It seems to outweigh your fear
of being underwater.
My fear of being stuck in here
with you is even greater!
Ant!
Your father could use
your help clearing
the ballast release pipe.
We are stuck.
You are on your own.
Ignore him.
We'll get out of this.
We'll see you soon.
Rover out.
There's dive gear here.
We can get outside and
cut through the seaweed.
"We?" Out there?
Hah! I pass.
( sigh )
Fine.
Me.
No, no!
The fish have caused us
to flood!
Just calm down!
We need to flood the Rover
to open the canopy.
I'm taking this laser.
We can still talk to each other
through our masks.
Do we have to?
Faster!
You could try being
a little nicer.
I tried that once.
It was not profitable.
Whoa!
You don't scare me!
You're just a fish.
Dolos - try the engines.
That button there.
Yes!
Now pull back on the throttle.
Dolos?
Pull back on the throttle!
Dolos, come back!
Come back?
Or search for valuable
Phoenician artifacts?
Hmmmm - such a difficult
decision...
Bye, bye!
Dolos! No!!
Augggh yes!
Ha ha!
The solo ski tubes aren't as
smooth as the Moon Pool,
but they do the trick.
Ohhh...
What is it?
Talk to me Will.
The pipe is bent and blocked.
It may be brittle.
Heat it before you
bend it back.
The air is coming up
from below the seabed.
It looks like it could collapse
at any moment.
Then work fast.
Aahhh!
Will!
Augh!
The gas bubbles!
They're methane!
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Methane, Kaiko!
Highly flammable.
It makes sense.
Centuries of rotting seaweed
- Methane forms
under the sea floor -
and as the bubbles rise
they turn into foam.
Mostly air.
And air can't support boats!
We just discovered why all those
ships went missing.
Will.
I think we're about
to join them!
Stupid seaweed!
How am I supposed to find
a shipwreck in all of this?
( sigh )
You're lost, Dolos!
You need to come back for me.
( gasp )
This is your fault!
Go, go away!
How is this my fault?
I was not talking to you, child.
( groan )
I'm turning on a beacon
so you can come find me.
Hah!
Unless you are a sunken
Phoenician treasure ship,
I have no interest
in where you are.
( groan )
Now...where am I?
( gasp )
It worked, Will!
I'm venting the ballast...
but the Aronnax isn't rising.
Kaiko, we're running
out of time!
( kissing sound )
Gotcha!
Bad Luck Fish,
your luck just ran out.
( panicked breathing )
I am not lost!
I am not lost!
Wha-?
Ohhh, that's impossible!
I'm going around in circles!
Aaaah!
You! You did this!
Go away! Go!
You can't blame the fish,
Dolos.
This isn't bad luck.
You chose to look for
the treasure.
You chose to take the Rover.
And YOU chose to abandon me.
Now you're lost.
And you've got no one to blame
but yourself.
There's no such thing
as bad luck.
You just made a bad choice.
AHH!
OOF!
Hello Mr. Dolos.
You came back for me!
And now I am making
a choice to...
( sigh )
let you drive me.
Hmmm, now you've made
a good choice
and good things will happen.
We find the treasure?
That's not what I meant.
...you will stop talking?
( gibberish mimicry )
Okay, the ballast is empty.
I'm gonna try the engines again.
It's no good.
I'm giving the engines
everything
but the ship won't budge.
We've done everything we can,
Kaiko.
We may have to abandon
the Aronnax.
Is this...
as bad as it looks?
Very bad.
There's no treasure down here
at all.
The Aronnax is stuck
in the ground,
and the gas underneath
is methane.
We're sitting on a bomb here
Ant.
Hmm.
Dad? You know how you
have reservations
about some of my crazier ideas?
This one you're going to hate.
I hate it already and I haven't
even heard it.
The Methane bubbles form below
the surface, right?
Uh huh.
If we wait until a really
big one forms...
Like that one?
Yes - perfect -
that will temporarily deplete
the methane underneath.
And?
Then we ignite what's left.
Okay I've heard it now
and yes I hate it!
Did you say ignite?
Ant is right!
It will loosen the silt
and free the Aronnax.
Your plan for our freedom
is a massive explosion?
I did say no one would like
my plan.
Mum.
I ejected the Bad Luck Fish
out the solar-ski tubes.
Our bad luck is gone!
We could fall through
the seabed any second
and Ant is planning to save us
by blowing us up.
Okay. So maybe not.
Ant, it's time.
Kaiko - fire up the engines.
Igniting the methane
in three...two...one!
WOAHHH!
Hold on!
WOAHHH!
Hang on, Fontaine!
Yes!
Way to not explode, mom!
Haha!
Woohoo!
( laughs )
Everyone back onboard.
Let's get out of here.
I just want to point out that we
totally didn't get blown up.
I think it's safe to say
that there's no such thing
as the Bad Luck Fish.
We know why the ships
sink now.
We can tell all vessels
to avoid this area.
And I'm guessing
those Purple Fish thrive
in methane-rich water.
Hey Fontaine - ever since I
stopped being superstitious
and started making
better decisions,
I've had nothing but good luck.
I even made a new friend!
Urgh.
Don't touch me.
I wasted my time coming here.
There is no treasure.
You're wrong.
We found the best kind
of treasure there is.
Friendship.
Bleurgh!
I feel sick.
( Ant ): That's okay.
I'll look after you,
good buddy.
( Dolos ): This has to stop.

Good evening, Dolos.

Dolos, come back!
Come back?
Or search for valuable

Hmmmm - such a difficult
decision...
Bye, bye!
Dolos! No!!
Augggh yes!

Go, go away!
How is this my fault?
I was not talking to you, child.

I'm turning on a beacon
so you can come find me.
Hah!
Unless you are a sunken
Phoenician treasure ship,
I have no interest
in where you are.

Now...where am I?
( gasp )
It worked, Will!
I'm venting the ballast...
but the Aronnax isn't rising.
Kaiko, we're running
out of time!
( kissing sound )
Gotcha!
Bad Luck Fish,
your luck just ran out.
( panicked breathing )
I am not lost!
I am not lost!
Wha-?
Ohhh, that's impossible!
I'm going around in circles!
Aaaah!
You! You did this!
Go away! Go!
You can't blame the fish,
Dolos.
This isn't bad luck.
You chose to look for
the treasure.
You chose to take the Rover.
And YOU chose to abandon me.
Now you're lost.
And you've got no one to blame
but yourself.
There's no such thing
as bad luck.
You just made a bad choice.
AHH!
OOF!
Hello Mr. Dolos.
You came back for me!
And now I am making
a choice to...
( sigh )
let you drive me.
Hmmm, now you've made
a good choice
and good things will happen.
We find the treasure?
That's not what I meant.
...you will stop talking?
( gibberish mimicry )
Okay, the ballast is empty.
I'm gonna try the engines again.
It's no good.
I'm giving the engines
everything
but the ship won't budge.
We've done everything we can,
Kaiko.
We may have to abandon
the Aronnax.
Is this...
as bad as it looks?
Very bad.
There's no treasure down here
at all.
The Aronnax is stuck
in the ground,
and the gas underneath
is methane.
We're sitting on a bomb here
Ant.
Hmm.
Dad? You know how you
have reservations
about some of my crazier ideas?
This one you're going to hate.
I hate it already and I haven't
even heard it.
The Methane bubbles form below
the surface, right?
Uh huh.
If we wait until a really
big one forms...
Like that one?
Yes - perfect -
that will temporarily deplete
the methane underneath.
And?
Then we ignite what's left.
Okay I've heard it now
and yes I hate it!
Did you say ignite?
Ant is right!
It will loosen the silt
and free the Aronnax.
Your plan for our freedom
is a massive explosion?
I did say no one would like
my plan.
Mum.
I ejected the Bad Luck Fish
out the solar-ski tubes.
Our bad luck is gone!
We could fall through
the seabed any second
and Ant is planning to save us
by blowing us up.
Okay. So maybe not.
Ant, it's time.
Kaiko - fire up the engines.
Igniting the methane
in three...two...one!
WOAHHH!
Hold on!
WOAHHH!
Hang on, Fontaine!
Yes!
Way to not explode, mom!
Haha!
Woohoo!
( laughs )
Everyone back onboard.
Let's get out of here.
I just want to point out that we
totally didn't get blown up.
I think it's safe to say
that there's no such thing
as the Bad Luck Fish.
We know why the ships
sink now.
We can tell all vessels
to avoid this area.
And I'm guessing
those Purple Fish thrive
in methane-rich water.
Hey Fontaine - ever since I
stopped being superstitious
and started making
better decisions,
I've had nothing but good luck.
I even made a new friend!
Urgh.
Don't touch me.
I wasted my time coming here.
There is no treasure.
You're wrong.
We found the best kind
of treasure there is.
Friendship.
Bleurgh!
I feel sick.
( Ant ): That's okay.
I'll look after you,
good buddy.
( Dolos ): This has to stop.
