[struggling grunts]

This is Matilda Marshall,
can anyone hear me?

Please help!

This is the World Oceans
Authority.

What is your situation?

A storm -

came out of nowhere -

worse than I've ever seen.

Stay calm.

I'm tracing your GPS signal now.

[scared]
Agggghh!



Please hurry.

Hello?!

Can you hear me?

Hello??

Hello????

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!

Professor Fiction!

Nektons!

Yeow!

I thought you
weren't due until -

Right now.

Welcome!

Working on something
new and exciting?

Huh!

Changing a lightbulb.

But I forgot to get
a new bulb.

Is our super-cool secret
project ready?

The first one
or the second one?

The one that was my idea.

Yes!

[laughs]

Do you always keep
a crowbar in there?

A good scientist
is always prepared.

Ahh. Stop!

What about my presentation?

Oh yes, I forgot!

You won't need that later?

Neh!

I have more.

[clears throat]

Did you build the smoke
machine too?

Of course.

Once in a lifetime,

a technological advancement
comes along

that changes deep sea
exploration forever.

So true.

The submarine.

The SCUBA suit.

The old-timey diving costume
with the fishbowl head.

Classics.

Isn't that you?

Shh.

He's nearly finished.

And now...

the Shadow Knight!

The crate!

Ant's passion project!

[laughs]

Nice!

That's awesome!

I call it "the Shadow Knight".

It's like the White Knight -

- But the sleeker design
makes it easier to maneuver.

And the grey metallic
colouring -

- makes it almost invisible
in the water.

[struggles]

Whooaa!

Ugggghhh!

Mmm.

Good try Ant.

I'm sure you'll fix the kinks.

[grunts]

I didn't get to
the coolest part.

[grunts]

You'll love it!

You said there was a second
project, Professor?

Ah yes, to the Aronnax!

I'll catch up!

I just need to figure out
how to load

the Shadow Knight on board!

Just need to - ow!

- install an extra - ow!

- hard drive heh heh,
and we're ready.

[cough]

Hello, AIMY.

Hello, Professor.

Nektons, meet AIMY,
the artificial intelligence.

Hello, William and Kaiko Nekton.

[giggles]

Ooh!

Watch this!

AIMY - status report,
please.

Surface temperature
is 14 degrees.

Wind speed is 30 knots.

I have organized a list of
maintenance tasks

in order of priority.

Tomorrow is Professor
Fiction's birthday.

[giggles]

This is so awesome!

I am merely well-programmed.

It's all voice-controlled.

Check this out!

AIMY! Take us out!

It's... impressive.

...but?

I have enough trouble
with Ant talking back.

I don't need another voice
on the ship.

I am programmed to help
and protect the Nektons.

Help!

Protect!

Nektons!

Three of my favourite words.

Incoming call from
Commander Pyrosome

of the World Oceans Authority.

Nektons.

Commander Pyrosome.

We have a situation.

A kayaker attempting a long
distance record

has encountered a severe storm.

[gasps]

Matilda Marshall?!

She's my idol!

The severity of the storm is
keeping our planes back,

and our submarines
are too far away.

You're the closest vessel.

Of course we'll help.

Okay.

Just turn around and drop me
off at HQ, then you can -

No time.

You're coming with us.

But...

I didn't pack anything!

AIMY.

Take us too Matilda!

Ugh Ant, I've got this!

[cough]

AIMY, please take us
to Matilda

via the quickest possible route.

Your proposed route takes
the Aronnax

through Dead Man's Reef,
a dangerous journey.

I suggest a safer route.

[sighs]

A life is at stake.

Understood.

Setting quickest route.

Maybe the wrong time,
but

[blow] oooh!

[laugh]

- does anyone have
a spare toothbrush?

I only packed crowbars.

AIMY I'm in a hurry, can you
feed Jeffrey for me?

22 calories exactly.

[burp]

We copied the controls
from the White Knight,

but the weight distribution
is different,

so they need adjusting.

That's why it didn't
work before.

Untested equipment
can be dangerous.

I advise caution.

Caution? Psh!

I don't know the meaning
of the word!

Caution: Noun: Care taken in
order to -

[sighs]

It's just an expression AIMY!

Sheesh!

Just over an hour, Matilda.

[struggling]

Ah, okay...If I'm not here
when you get here,

please tell -

No. We're coming now.

I promise.

You will be there.

Fontaine out.

Shadow Knight demonstration!

Moon Pool Room!

Oh...Bring your own snacks.

We'll watch from here -
thanks.

I've adjusted the controls,
but I left the smoke machine

back at the workshop, so you'll
have to use your imagination.

Oooh! And the music?

Duuuh, duuh, duuuh...

DUH-DUH!

Dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-
dun.

Huh?

Aaah, whooaaaa!

Huh, what's going on?

Don't touch me!

I just need to practice.

We can't be too careful.

[struggles]

Whooaa!

I recommend against
continuing.

I just need to practice.

Get used to the weight.

[grunts]

Almost got it.

Engaging propulsion...

Whooaa!!

[grunts]

Whoooaaaa!

[grunts]

You must stop
immediately.

He's fine, AIMY.

Antaeus' recklessness could
lead to injury.

I advise paying greater
attention to his activities.

No offense, AIMY -

I am incapable
of being offended.

But I don't need parenting
advice from a computer.

You're a little bit offended,
aren't you?

No!

It's gonna be little
awkward.

The Shadow Knight isn't designed
to be used out of water!

I just wanna know
the balance is right

before I jump into bone
crushing depths!

Whooaaa!

[grunts]

This demonstration
is over.

Let him go.

I am programmed to protect
the Nektons.

Even from themselves.

It's okay if he falls.

We let Ant do what
he needs to do.

It's also kind of funny!

Exactly!

It's an issue with the higher
center of gravity.

If I can just adjust
the gyroscope -

New data suggests that the
Nektons cannot be trusted

with their own safety.

Ahhh!

What's that?

Whhoooaw!

AIMY?

Are you diverting us
to the longer route?

I repeat, AIMY are you diverting
us to the longer route?

Professor, what's happening?

[grunts]

We need to stop
AIMY before -

[sighs]

Before things like that happen.

AIMY, Matilda needs us.

Your safety is
my prime directive.

Everything else is secondary.

The kayaker must wait.

[struggling]

Is anyone there?

Fontaine?

Don't worry, Matilda.

Everything's under control.

We're coming.

We just have to deal
with an insane computer.

Sanity is not the measure one
applies to an operating system.

We may be able to use
the Rover to reach Matilda.

Why are we whispering?

William Nekton, could you
speak louder so you are audible

to the ship's
security system.

Let the others know what
we're doing.

The Moon Pool Room is
off limits for your safety.

Uuuum - we're going to make sure
the other vehicles are secure

so that nobody takes them out
through that reef.

Because of...

the danger.

Good, responsible thinking.

[struggling]

Interfering with the
Aronnax's equipment

could endanger our mission.

[growls]

[whispering] I think there may
be another way of accessing

the bowels of the ship.

Eewwwwww.

"Bowels".

[giggles]

[sighs]

This should lead us back
to the space under the bridge,

where AIMY's hard
drive is located.

I'll go first.

I know this ship inside and out.

Oooww!

Where did that come from?!

No.

I need you to keep
AIMY distracted.

What?

I should be part of
the action.

It's what I do.

Look, AIMY is a futuristic,

hyper-smart
artificial intelligence

designed by one of the world's
greatest scientific minds.

It's almost impossible
to outwit her,

even for a second.

[sighs]

I'll do it.

[proudly] "One of the world's
greatest scientific minds?"

Huh!

You can be smug after we remove
the insane computer

you installed.

I cannot recommend
your current course of action.

If I need advice from
a heartless machine,

I'll ask a toaster.

[grunts]

[gasps]

Ooh!

No, no, no.

Please hurry, Fontaine.

The server room is just up...

Owww!

Watch out!

AIMY's throwing pipes at us!

That was always there.

[sighs]

I hope Ant has found a way
to distract her.

AIMY! You're programmed to keep
us safe, right?

Correct.

Well, I'm standing cold and half
naked in front of the fridge,

even though it's flu season!

Brrr.

I recommend that you return
to quarters and cover up.

[panting]

I'm reading
in the dark!

Ah!

These words are so small
and difficult to see.

You risk permanent strain
to your eye muscles.

[giggles]

Ogh!

I'm in danger!

The sugar will rot my teeth

and cause dangerous chemical
imbalances in my liver!

Your recklessness is
affecting my ability

to run this ship, Antaeus.

You are nearing Dead Man's Reef.

Proceeding poses
an unacceptable risk.

You and I have very different
ideas of "unacceptable risk".

Does the reef worry you?

Nope.

Even if you make it through
the reef,

you must surface to retrieve
the kayaker,

putting you in the path
of the storm.

We understand.

The storm is too dangerous,
and we should turn back.

Yes.

Precisely.

We just have to pick one
thing up first.

[struggling]

There's too
much water.

The pump can't keep up
Fontaine.

We're only a few minutes
away now.

You'll be okay.

Just hold on!

No. I am putting a stop to this.

No!

AIMY!

Whoaa!

[grunt]

Whhhoooaaaaaaa!

Fontaine?!

Fontaine?!

Please tell me you're
nearly here.

Wow, ah...Ant.

Are you there?

Can you read me?

[loud chewing]

[moans]

Ant!

Huh?

We're stuck.

AIMY's taken over the Rover.

Did you make it to Matilda?

No.

AIMY shut us down when we
got too close to the reef.

I didn't know AIMY was
in the Rover.

The Rover is hooked up
to the Aronnax's network.

All of our vehicles are.

All of them except...

...what?

No time for cookies!

(Both): Cookies?!

Why are you running
Antaeus?.

I'm helping my family.

The family you put in danger.

Remember?

No!

[grunts]

I cannot allow you to-

-to let me save them?

Protect them?

I...

Isn't that your prime
directive?

I...do not - I must --

[gasps]

[grunts]

Ha!

Told you it was the gyroscope!

This equipment is still
untested and dangerous.

I strongly advise against
taking it out into the water.

Okay. I'll take your advice
under consideration.

Very good.

And then ignore it.

Whaaaa!

Ha...Ugggghhhh!

Thanks.

That was very helpful.

[grunts]

Wooow!

Ha ha!

It works, it totally works!

You can't control the Knight,
can you AIMY?

That must be annoying.

I do not get annoyed.

That sounds like a challenge.

What's happening?

Did you touch something?

I didn't touch anything.

It's not me.

Whoah!

Stand by to intercept.

Intercept?

Intercept what?

Is that Ant?

Are we intercepting Ant?

Yes.

I am able to detect
his current course

and plot an interception point.

You have to let him go, AIMY.

He's trying to save a life.

By risking his own.

Not acceptable.

Ant! Look out!

We're coming for you!

Whoaa!

Whooaaa!

Whoooaaaw!

Whhhooaaaa!

Oh, AIMY...?

I never got to show off the
coolest part of this Knight,

did I?

What is this coolest part?

Stealth mode.

I don't know how you did it,

but you just disappeared
from radar and GPS.

Antaeus has disappeared
from all instruments.

Good for him.

William, perform a visual check
for the Shadow Knight.

Antaeus?

Shadow Knight?

Huh!

Never heard of them.

There it is.

You have to be very careful
removing that hard drive.

It's connected to a lot
of delicate machinery.

Can't I just rip it off?

Ripping it off is
also worth a try.

[grunts]

[grunts]

Are you okay?

[sighs]

Nothing serious.

Just enough of a charge
to keep people away.

I programmed AIMY
to protect you.

Now she's preventing anyone
from disabling her

so she can keep on
protecting you.

[sighs]

Why am I so smart?

What do we do?

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

AIMY - what are you doing?

I do not need to know where
Antaeus is presently.

I do know where he is going.

The kayaker.

No...

Intercepting in three seconds.

Come on, come on!

Do not interfere with the
operation-n-n of the-the-Rover.

[grunt]

Look out!!

I repeat. Do not tamper
with the vehicle.

Whoooaaaa!

[grunts]

Hold on!

You're normally very opposed
to breaking things.

I'm more opposed
to being controlled

by artificial intelligence!

This is a very delicate
mission that-

All yours Ant, go save Matilda!

I'm on it!

Next time, instead of a
terrifying and unpredictable

artificial intelligence,

can we get a dog or something!?

[struggling]

Aaaagghhh!

[struggling]

Did you drop this?

Aagghh!

[coughs]

[panting]

Thank goodness you're here!

Don't touch me!

What!!!?

If you do, it's considered
assistance -

and you'll be disqualified
from the world record right.

Don't you still wanna try?

Of course, but you've come
all this way!

And now we're close if anything
goes wrong!

Good thing somebody
brought a patch kit.

You can still try to this on
your own, if you want to?

Yes, I really do!

You see, AIMY?

People need to be allowed
to fail on their own,

so they can try again
and succeed!

Nobody knows more
about failing than Ant.

You're programmed to help
and protect us, right?

Yes.

We're explorers!

Scientists!

We have to take risks.

We don't get better if we don't
let ourselves fail!

We fall down,

then we pick ourselves up
and keep going!

But - my programming -

If you protect us like that,
you're not really helping us.

I - that is - my
d-d-d-directive - I...

...AIMY?

I... I think she's
shutting down!

Tell her to come aboard
the Aronnax.

I want to meet her!

I really can't.

It's nice.

We have cookies.

I ate all the cookies.

Sorry.

[sighs]

Get an autograph!

After I finish the journey.

I have to do this.

I get it.

If you don't finish it yourself,

you'll never know
if you could have.

Exactly.

[gasps]

I think we can help.

Mum?

The rules say we can't
touch Matilda...

but we can shield her
from the storm.

I think I know where
you're going, Ant.

[gasps]

How's it going, Professor?

[sighs]

I feel terrible.

I think I should step down
as your scientific advisor.

Maybe I could be a baker.

Or a fighter pilot.

Have you ever flown
a fighter jet?

No.

But I once made one
out of microwave parts

and an old bicycle.

You tried something.

It didn't work,
but that's okay.

We'll keep testing and keep
learning until we get it right.

And by the way!

Happy birthday.

For your next bright idea.

Well it looks like the storm
is finally cleared!

You're on your own now.

Thanks for not saving me.
