Ahhh!

I want to touch it!

Whoaaa -

so this is what bioluminescent

bacteria feels like!?

Amazing.

I've never seen them in these

concentrations before.

And they go on

for miles and miles.

They glow.



And they feel like slime!

I love 'em!

Strange.

Ant?

Totally.

But what can you do?

Aggghh!

( grunt )

Sorry!

Slipped.

Normally, all of this

would be eaten.

Eeerg.

Not by me.



No no no no no no!

Whoa!

Slipped.

Ewww

( cough )

Let's go see why the fish

in Taiwan aren't hungry.

Take us forward slowly,

Fontaine.

Huh? No fish.

You mean, there are low

concentrations?

He means none.

There are no fish on sonar

within five kilometers.

Well - the smaller ones wouldn't

show up on sonar.

No.

The fish - all the fish,

are just....

gone.

The ocean is...empty.

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 Taiwanese fishermen

sound frustrated.

There are no fish to catch.

Very unusual.

Our instruments show volcanic

activity on the seabed Ant.

Maybe that's producing

poisonous gasses.

Uh! I'm not reading any toxins.

Theory number one

just crashed and burned.

And I don't have a theory

number two.

I can see algae, larval shrimp,

the occasional nematodes -

it's like an all-you-can-eat

buffet here!

Just no fish to eat it.

It's okay Jeffrey.

Come on in -

the water's fine.

Right.

Let's see how deep

this problem goes.

I'll take us down.

It's okay, Mum.

I've got this.

Are you sure?

You've never piloted below

a thousand metres before.

You said I needed

more piloting hours.

The depths should be part of

my practice.

Mum?

If Fontaine is driving,

could you get Jeffrey

and maybe construct him

a little seatbelt?

Bye Ant.

Hey!

Wait for me.

Most fish live in the top

'Sunlight Zone' -

so lets try below 200 meters.

What if the Twilight Zone

is empty too?

Then we're in very strange

territory indeed.

Ant?

You should be able to see

fish here that have adapted

to low light.

Nope. They're staying away.

Maybe they just don't like you?

Or there's some major fish party

that we haven't been invited to

and everyone

else has tickets.

I'll admit that's a long-shot.

Come back inside Ant.

We're going deeper.

Okay...

we're below a thousand

meters.

Welcome to the

Midnight Zone.

Around 180 atmospheres

of pressure

are squeezing against

the Aronnax right now.

Fontaine, slow, steady

moves please.

Keep your eyes peeled.

Oh! Come to port,

three degrees Fontaine.

I saw it too.

Look...

Kill the interior lights.

Angler Fish?

It is possible,

but many species use

bioluminescence down here.

At least it's something.

Nice to see you guys!

So we do have fish

in the Midnight Zone.

( crash sounds )

Whooaaa!

Ahh!

What happened?!

Outside temperature rising.

Volcanic thermal vents!

Stay clear!

Trying...

Gently!

Nektons?

My remote diagnostics picked

up multiple alarms.

It's okay Professor.

We're handling it.

Are you really at

190 atmospheres?

Boiling water rising fast enough

to pick up pieces of sea-bed!

I've never seen vertical

currents this strong!

Mum!

It's okay Fontaine.

I've got this.

Thermal vents in

the Midnight Zone

are no place for

a driving lesson.

( sigh )

Thanks.

So - if all the fish seem

normal down deep -

then the problem is up here,

right?

I've got something on sonar.

A large object...

another submarine?

No...

it's not solid.

But...

what is it?

You're the Marine Biologist

- you tell us.

Is that - every fish

in the area - all together?!

I told you there was a fish

party we weren't invited to!

Coming to a full stop.

I need pictures here.

( sigh )

Totally bizarre.

What are they all looking at?

I have to see this up close.

Fontaine - take over.

You'll be fine.

Very, very strange.

They don't even notice me.

They're turning to Port now.

What's glowing?

I...I'm not sure.

Moving closer.

Just be very careful Kaiko.

Fish are letting me brush

them aside.

Like they don't care.

There's something moving

in the center...

...a creature...?

...about half the size of

the Rover...

but so pretty...

oh so pretty...

( baby talk )....who's

a pretty-witty-creature.

...is just a cuddly

wuddly wwzh a wozh...

Okay, that's uncomfortable!

Mum?

Can you hear me?

Kaiko -- uh, you okay?

( baby talk)

pretty-witty-creature,

cuddly wuddly

Mum?

Talk like an adult if you can

hear me okay?

Uhhhhh...pretty...

Her vital signs are fine.

Pulse normal...

blood pressure normal.

But she's not responding to us.

It's like she's in a trance.

Are you reading me Kaiko?

Mum's still controlling

her Knight.

That's ...good...

I 'spose.

Fish keep getting drawn

to the light -

like they're hypnotized.

Nektons - I checked everything

in our data base,

nothing matches this.

Bioluminescent lures are

used to attract 'prey' -

to eat, right?

Well...

ummm... yes.

Right now, Kaiko is prey.

I'm going to get her.

Dad!

Hey!

you might need these.

Mum's welding goggles.

They'll cut out most of

the creature's light.

Good thinking.

Hey...

I'll bring her back.

Don't worry.

Is it possible those geizers

of warm water

forced this thing up

from the Midnight Zone

without it disintegrating?

It's not unprecedented.

For example, Sperm Whales

go down and back.

They're strong enough

to withstand

the pressure difference.

It's changing course.

Fish up here have never seen

a bioluminescent lure.

It doesn't need to hunt.

Fish come to it.

And Professor,

bioluminescence attracts fish

not people.

Uh hu! But light affects

people too Fontaine.

We get vitamin D from sunlight.

There's sunburn and strobe

lights can make people ill.

I still think it's hypnotism.

Remember when

I put you under?

For five minutes you thought

you were a penguin.

Ha ha ha ha!

What???!!!

You will forget I

said anything...

Switching on the Rover's

infra-red camera.

Good. We can't afford to see

the creature's visible

light spectrum.

Will to Kaiko...

can you hear me?

Got her.

Yes, alright, good job dad.

Hmm...I....

huh...I can see...

Dad?

Dad!

What's happening?

No, no, no!

Don't do it!

(dreamy baby-talk)

...who's da pretty one...huh huh

yeah it's you...

it's not me...it's you who's

the pretty one...hmmm!

No! Dad!

Ohhhhh!

Ant?

No!

Wha...wow...that felt good.

If we can't get Mom and Dad

away from that glow,

they're never coming back!

Dad! Talk to us!

Cootchie cootchie coooo...ha

ha ha ha ha ha...

The Rover's remote

control system!

We can bring it back...

Yes! Ha!

I love it when a plan comes

to...Huuh?

No!

Dad just over-rode the remote.

Do you really think

this is a good idea?

Two Knights are

stronger than one.

Maybe we can grab Mum

and drag her back.

Then worry about the Rover.

How do we see?

We don't.

We can't afford to.

We'll rely on instruments.

You know how

I'm often critical

of your hair-brained ideas?

So often.

( sigh )

I've got nothing better.

I'll take that!

Jeffrey, I'm leaving you

in charge.

I have complete faith

in you...

Captain.

( grunt )

Turn on your sonar.

Uhhh! I knew that.

Activating Stealth Mode too.

I'm keeping a low profile.

Only for radar, he

can still see you!

Okay - the fish has changed

direction.

Again.

Is it lost?

Is that what's going on?

Dad?

Can you see us?

Dad?!

I don't think he's even

looking at us.

Wait...

The cloud has stopped moving.

Something's happening.

The creature is coming!

It's a gigantic angler fish!

What's it doing up here!

It's heading towards you.

Uh! But I'm undercover!

I'm in Stealth Mode!

Why me?

Am I the fish mind-reader?

I don't know!

Okay...

staying calm.

You're my back-up

if it tries to eat me.

You've got me, right?

Fontaine...?

Kinda!

Just don't move!

( growl )

Huhuhuhh!

( whispers ) What do you think

it's doing?

It seemed to be lost...

But now it's staring at you.

Like it's found something.

Well - I am very charismatic.

To a fish?

Jeffrey thinks so.

( sigh ) Of course he does.

Just...

don't move a muscle

'Mister Charisma'.

Am I allowed to breathe?

I'd prefer you didn't.

( growling )

I can't stand this!

It's like it's sizing me up!

Thinking "Will I take a

bite of arm today - or leg?

They both look so good!

Ooooooh!

Why was I cursed with being

so appealing to fish?

One of the world's

great mysteries.

Okay - I'm going

to move aside...

slowly.

Not smart.

But that's so you.

It's moving with you.

But why?

Huhuhh!

Just go away!

You shouldn't even be here!

Go home!

Wait a minute.

Ant, disengage stealth mode.

Are you crazy?

What for?

Just trust me!

I hope you know

what you're doing!

I hope so too!

Huh!

It's swimming away!

But why?

I'm still food!

It was attracted to the

Shadow Knight's stealth glow!

It's almost identical

to its own!

Maybe it thinks you're related!

That's it! Come on!

Ant?

( grunt )

Mum loves that mirror.

Ahh! She won't mind.

Now - I need you to follow

behind me in the Aronnax.

We'll use a claw arm

to grab Mom and Dad!

Great idea except I can

barely see anything

on the infrared monitors

through all those fish!

It would be like picking

a needle out of a haystack!

Just follow me.

I'll start leading that

thing down -

back to where it belongs.

Once we get deeper,

some of those fish

won't be able to take

the pressure!

And they'll start to back off!

That's when you grab the Rover

with the claw.

At those depths,

it'll be harder for me to steer

the ship and maneuver the arm.

I know, but it's the best

hair brain idea I've got!

Are you up to it?

As long as it gets Mum

and Dad back.

That's all I care about.

Me too.

Stay close to me.

I'll try.

Hang in there, Dad...

This will work, Mum.

Trust me.

Uh!

Hey!

Slow drivers!

Move!

Coming through!

Veer left!

Look out!

Okay - there you are...

Alright fish - who is this?

Like what you see?

So far, so good Fontaine.

Keep it smooth.

Come on...

that's it.

Let's just get you home.

Come deeper...

Okay...

entering the Midnight Zone.

A lot of these fish

won't be able to handle

the pressure here.

They're leaving.

But you keep coming

big guy.

I've got a clean visual!

Uhh, Ant?

How deep are you going?

As deep as I have to.

Ant, we didn't discuss this.

The Rover can go right

to the very bottom.

But not the Aronnax -

and definitely not the Knights.

My Knight is stronger

than you think.

And you're not as strong

as you think.

Maybe.

But home for this guy

is down deep.

In the Midnight Zone.

( sigh ) Not my favourite

zone to drive in.

You can do it, Fontaine.

( sigh ) Gentle moves.

Take it easy...

( grunt )

Huge pressure here...

getting really hard to move.

I'm reading 219 atmosphere's.

219 times normal Ant.

I don't want to think about it.

Our friend is feeling fine.

For him, it's like

a walk in the park.

I think it's time.

It's your turn now Fontaine.

Come on...

I'm being gentle...

Okay!

Pressurizing the moon-pool room.

Equalizing with the Midnight

Zone pressure.

Engaging claw arm...

Contact.

( grunt )

He's fighting me...

This is your plan.

Are you sure the claw arm

is stronger than the Rover?

Umm...when I say "plan" -

it's more of a shot-in-the-dark.

And you're telling me this now?

Ah!

Thermal vents here.

Ghh! I can't hold this for long!

Then we'll have to be quick.

It's time for part two!

Ah uh!

Don't fight it - please...

( struggling )

No!

(dreamy baby-talk)

Ohhhh.... pretty....

Oh no!

Ant! Don't do this!

Snap out of it!

Please!!

Who's a cutie putie...oh

you're so cute...

Mmmm...mumumumu...

Don't leave me here alone--

...warm and fuzzy wuzzy

cuddowony...numnumnum

Right.

No-one else can do this...

Up to me.

No!

Look out, Ant!!

So much for gentle moves!

Not letting go -

now or ever!

Uuuhhh...whaa...

what's happening?

Okay dad, I need you

to grab Mom,

but whatever you do

don't open your eyes!

Okay!

Wha...?

Where am...?

Wow!

Whoaoaoooaaa!

Ooops, sorry about that

Mr. fish!

Ant! Don't look at it!

( grunt )

Fontaine, what just happened?

Don't worry about it!

Dad, I need you to get Mom!

Right!

Do exactly what I say and

remember do not open your eyes!

When I say,

I need you to clamp down

with the Rovers arms...

gently, I'll direct you.

Straight ahead, get ready,

get ready,

A little to the left,

right,

NOW!

Got her!

Uhh...Ghhh...

Where am I...?

It's okay Mom,

everything's alright.

Except...

Ant it's coming

right for you!

Where is it?

To your left!

The mirror!

Oh no!

( growl )

It's diving Ant.

You did it, it's following

all of its reflections down.

Safe travels big guy!

Come back to the Aronnax.

The fish are safe now!

And so is the amazing hypnotist.

Dad,don't open the canopy!

The pressure is too strong!

Thanks for that.

I feel like I've just woken up

from the nicest dream.

Okay - that's one way

of looking at it.

Do you think that is

the creature's mother?

Well there's a definite

family resemblance.

Family reunions

are a good thing.

He's back home now -

and let's hope he stays

down there.

You guys did very well.

We should let Fontaine

pilot more often.

Thanks.

Well - that'll be up to Jeffrey.

Huh?

He's captain now.

Gee, you fall into one

trance and you miss so much.

It's okay, Captain Jeffrey.

The good news is you'll

never have to see

the scary fish again.

Bad news is,

you still have

to see Ant.

Apparently that was "humour",

Jeffrey.
