20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1997): Season 1, Episode 2 - Episode #1.2 - full transcript

[RAIN]

[THUNDER]

LITTLE MAN,
LITTLE MAN.

HA HA HA!

[MURMURING]

NEMO?

YOU ARE DREAMING
ABOUT NED LAND?

OH, YEAH.

HOW LONG
HAVE I BEEN OUT?

SEVERAL DAYS.

IT WAS NECESSARY
TO KEEP YOU TRANQUILIZED



WHILE WE WORKED
TO HEAL YOU.

NED LAND?

IMPRISONED AGAIN.

MR. LAND WILL LANGUISH
IN THE BRIG

UNTIL HE ACCEPTS THE FACT

THAT YOU MUST ALL REMAIN
ON BOARD THE NAUTILUS

UNTIL WE REACH
OUR DESTINATION.

WHICH IS?

IF I TOLD YOU,

YOU WOULD ONLY
THINK ME MAD.

YOU MUST WAIT
AND SEE FOR YOURSELF.

WHEN, AT LEAST,
SHALL WE REACH
THIS DESTINATION?

WE SAIL CLOSER EVERY DAY.

WE ARE NOW OFF THE COAST
OF VISHAKAPATNAM.



INDIA.

THERE WAS NOTHING
LEFT TO SAVE.

WE HAVE GIVEN YOU
A REPLACEMENT.

SOME SUGGESTED
THROWING YOU IN THE BRIG

AND LEAVING YOU
WITH JUST A STUMP,

BUT YOUR COURAGE
DESERVED MORE.

YOU'VE MADE ME
JUST LIKE YOU.

THE SMALL AMOUNT OF PAIN
YOU HAVE SUFFERED

WOULD HAVE TO BE VASTLY
MULTIPLIED...

BEFORE YOU COULD EVER
BE MISTAKEN FOR ME.

THIS IS MODELED
AFTER YOUR OWN?

IT IS
A NON-CONDUCTIVE ALLOY
OF MY OWN DESIGN,

BUT WITH SOME
STYLISTIC IMPROVEMENT.

YOURS, HOWEVER, DOES LACK
ONE SIGNIFICANT FEATURE.

THIS EMITS
AN ELECTRICAL SIGNAL

THAT ENSURES THAT NO ONE
WILL EVER SEIZE
THE NAUTILUS

FROM MY COMMAND.

WHY ARE YOU
SHOWING ME THIS?

REST, PIERRE.

RECOVER.

CAPTAIN?

I SAW A WOMAN.

MR. SHIMODA ALWAYS IMAGINES
SEEING THE WIFE HE LEFT
BEHIND IN HOKKAIDO.

IVANDA PICTURES
A WOMAN IN DUBROVNIK.

WE WILL SEND
FOR LOVED ONES

WHEN WE REACH
OUR DESTINATION.

STILL, IT'S NOT UNUSUAL
FOR YOU TO IMAGINE THEM.

HOW DO YOU THINK THE LEGEND
OF MERMAIDS BEGAN?

SO WHAT I SAW
WAS A DELUSION?

IF YOU WISH TO SEE A WOMAN,

YOUR ONLY CHOICE
IS THE DIVER FROM MALAYA,

BUT SHE IS
IN A COMATOSE STATE.

HELLO!

NED MUTTERING:
NEMO! YOU'RE NEVER
GONNA KEEP ME IN HERE.

NEVER. NO WAY!

NO WAY AM I
STAYING IN HERE.

NICE TRINKET.

IT IS AS AMAZING
AS IT IS DISCONCERTING.

YOU'RE GROWING MORE
LIKE HIM EVERY DAY.

IF HELPING YOU TO ESCAPE
HAD NOT ENDANGERED
THE WHOLE SHIP,

I MIGHT STILL
HAVE MY HAND.

OH, SO IT'S MY FAULT,
IS IT, EH?

A PRISONER
TRYING TO GET FREE.

HOW DAMN SELFISH OF ME!

I'LL ASK HIM
TO RELEASE YOU.

HEY, DON'T DO ME ANY FAVORS!

WHILE I'M STILL
ON THIS BOAT,
I'M LOCKED UP!

PRINTMAKING SUPPLIES,
MR. ATTUCKS.

YOUR VIGIL MAY PASS
MORE QUICKLY

WITH A CRAFT TO STUDY.

YEAH, THANKS.

DO YOU SPEAK HER LANGUAGE?

NOT UNLESS SHE SPEAKS
JAPANESE, KOREAN,
OR PORTUGUESE.

I CAN'T BELIEVE
SHE DROPS IN THE OCEAN
EVERY DAY.

I THOUGHT I HAD IT ROUGH
BEFORE THE WAR.

FREEDOM AND SLAVERY
CAN BE EQUALLY DEMANDING
IN THEIR WAYS.

GREAT. NOW I GOT YOU
OPENED UP,

YOU'RE
BEGINNING TO SOUND
JUST LIKE YOUR BOSS.

EXPERIMENT WITH THESE TOOLS.

IF YOU PLAN TO WAIT
UNTIL SHE WAKES,

YOU MAY HAVE
PLENTY OF TIME.

DID YOU HEAR THAT?

YOU'LL PROVE HIM WRONG.

WON'T YOU?

PIERRE: DECEMBER 14TH.

CAPTAIN NEMO REFUSES
TO SET NED FREE,

AND YET NEMO SEEMS
TO FIGHT FOR FREEDOM

IN HIS OWN WAY.

HE DONATES GOLD AND JEWELS
PLUCKED FROM THE OCEAN FLOOR

INTO THE HANDS
OF INDIAN REBELS.

UNTIL GOD SEEMS TO CARE,
NEMO WILL INTERVENE.

SHE'S GONE.

I WOKE UP,
AND SHE WAS GONE.

LET'S FIND NEMO.

AND
YOU'D BELIEVE HIM?

COME ON.

THE OTHER DAY
I SAW A WOMAN
VANISH AROUND HERE.

YOU WHAT?

THERE ARE MORE MYSTERIES
ON THIS SHIP, CABE,

THAN WE COULD
POSSIBLY IMAGINE.

NOTHING BUT PIPES HERE.

NO, NO. I WAS FEVERISH
AT THE TIME,

BUT I THINK...

LET'S GO.

[DING]

GET THE CAPTAIN.

JUST NOW
I WAS WRITING HOW
THE CAPTAIN'S MYSTERIES

ONLY SEEM TO GROW.

I HAD NO IDEA.

A GENTLEMAN WOULD KNOCK.

WE DIDN'T MEAN
TO INTRUDE.

WELL, I SHOULD
THINK YOU DID.

I'VE COME TO EXPECT IT
FROM YOU.

LAST TIME YOU WERE HERE,

YOU COLLAPSED AT MY FEET
WITHOUT A WORD.

AND I MAY AGAIN.

MR. CABLE ATTUCKS, MA'AM.

FRIENDS CALL ME CABE.

IT'S A PLEASURE.
MY NAME IS MARA.

"WOMAN OF THE SEA"?

INDEED.

AND YOU WOULD BE
PROFESSOR PIERRE
ARRONAX.

YOU KNOW OUR NAMES.

I KNOW EVERYTHING THAT
GOES ON ON THIS SHIP,

ALTHOUGH MY WORK
PREVENTS ME FROM LEAVING
MY CHAMBERS OFTEN.

AND WHAT WORK IS THAT?

AT PRESENT, I BELIEVE
IT S A WOMAN

WHOM YOU KNOW,
MR. ATTUCKS.

I AM IMEI.

HOW IS SHE EVEN AWAKE?

I ADMINISTERED
A MILD STIMULANT.

YOU'RE A DOCTOR?

OH, NO. NO.

THAT WOULD REQUIRE ME
TO COMPORT MYSELF
AMONGST THE CREW,

AND THAT DOESN'T
COME EASILY TO ME,

BUT I DO COUNT
A BIT OF CHEMISTRY
AMONGST MY PURSUITS.

I HAVE NEVER MET
SO BEAUTIFUL A CHEMIST.

MALFUNCTION CONFIRMED,
LEVEL 5.

IS THIS A COMPONENT
FROM THE DEVICE

THAT LED TO THE DEATH
OF MR. MACAULAY?

I'VE BEEN ASKING IMEI
HOW SHE COULD'VE
REMOVED THE KEY.

THERE SHOULD'VE BEEN
NO WAY

FOR HER TO HAVE
TRIGGERED THE DEVICE
PREMATURELY,

BUT I CANNOT
SOLVE THIS QUESTION.

WOULD THIS HELP?

THIS IS THE TIMING KEY
IMEI REMOVED.

THANK YOU.

NOW PERHAPS I WILL
SOLVE THIS MYSTERY.

YOU SPOKE
OF THESE DEVICES.

HOW MANY WERE THERE?

ENOUGH FOR OUR NEEDS.

YOU'RE TAKING
MINERAL SAMPLES FROM
ALL THESE LOCATIONS?

MINERAL SAMPLES?

WHY WOULD WE NEED
EXPLOSIVES FOR THAT?

BUT CAPTAIN NEMO SAID--

WE SEEK TO ALLEVIATE
THE GEO-ECONOMIC
PRESSURES OF THE EARTH.

I'VE STUDIED
THE INNER STRUCTURES
OF THE EARTH,

AND I BELIEVE THAT
IF WE EXPLODE ALL
OUR DEVICES AT ONCE,

WE'LL RELIEVE
ENOUGH PRESSURE

TO REDUCE THE RISK
OF EARTHQUAKES
TO MINIMAL LEVELS.

IN LAYMAN'S TERMS,

WE'LL GIVE THE EARTH
A THOROUGH MASSAGE TREATMENT.

THE MUSCLES OF THE EARTH
WILL RELAX

AND THE HOMELAND
MY FATHER'S BUILDING
ON THE OCEAN FLOOR

WILL BE PROTECTED
FROM EARTHQUAKES
FOR ALL TIME.

HAVE--HAVE I GONE
TOO FAST?

WHAT DIDN'T YOU UNDERSTAND?
GEO-ECONOMICS--

I UNDERSTAND
YOUR THEORY.

WHAT I DON'T
UNDERSTAND IS
WHO YOUR FATHER IS.

NEMO: I SHOULD THINK IT
QUITE CLEAR.

I'M SORRY YOU'VE BEEN
BOTHERED BY THESE MEN, MARA.

IT SHALL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN.

YOU HAD TO FERRET
THROUGH EVERY INCH
OF THIS SHIP, DIDN'T YOU?

I ALLOWED YOU FREEDOM,
AND WHAT DID YOU DO WITH IT?

MADE USE OF IT.

WE WERE SEARCHING
FOR THE MALAYAN GIRL,
CAPTAIN,

ONLY TO DISCOVER
YOUR DAUGHTER.

YOU LIED IN TELLING ME
THERE WERE NO WOMEN
ON BOARD.

I DON'T BELIEVE I EVER SAID
EXACTLY THOSE WORDS.

DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE
A LAWYER ON TOP
OF EVERYTHING ELSE.

I UNDERSTAND
YOUR CONCERN FOR HER
AS A YOUNG WOMAN--

THERE IS MORE TO IT
THAN THAT.

RESPECT WHAT YOU
DON'T UNDERSTAND

AND NEVER VISIT
MY DAUGHTER AGAIN.

PIERRE: DECEMBER 17TH.

I NEVER IMAGINED ROMANCE
ON THIS JOURNEY,

BUT ABOARD THIS CRAFT
IS A WOMAN WHO HOLDS
A NEW CLAIM ON MY HEART.

YET I AM FORBIDDEN
TO SEE HER.

I CAN ONLY STUDY
THE FACES OF NEMO'S CREW

AND FOLLOW THE PATH
OF OUR VOYAGE

FOR SOME CLUE
TO OUR ULTIMATE DESTINATION.

OUR BEARINGS TAKE US
FURTHER SOUTH EVERY DAY

TOWARD THE UNCHARTED,
PERILOUS WATERS

SURROUNDING THE SOUTH POLE.

NEMO PLANTS MORE
OF THE EXPLOSIVE DEVICES
THAT MARA SHOWED ME,

BUT SAYS NOTHING
OF THEIR TRUE PURPOSE.

AND SO I AM LEFT
TO PONDER THE REAL PLAN
OF CAPTAIN NEMO.

THE NEXT DEVICE SHOULD
BE ON THE LAND SHELF
300 LEAGUES AHEAD...

IF IT STILL EXISTS.

I EXAMINED
THE TIMING KEY
FROM THE LAST DEVICE,

THANKS TO
MONSIEUR ARRONAX,

AND I REALIZED
THAT THE HEAT FROM
A SULFUR SPRING

HAD CAUSED
THE KEY TO DECAY.

THE HEAT
IN THE LAND SHELF AHEAD
IS CONSIDERABLY GREATER.

WHAT IF THAT DEVICE
HAS EXPLODED AS WELL?

I DO HAVE APPREHENSIONS
ABOUT OUR EXPLOSIVES,
FATHER.

THEY MAY NOT DETONATE
AS WE EXPECT.

THE INCIDENT
THAT KILLED MACAULAY
IS REGRETTABLE, BUT--

WE ARE HOPING
OUR DEVICES WILL
PUT AN END TO EARTHQUAKES

SO THAT OUR NEW HOME
WILL NOT BE DESTROYED
AS IT WAS BEFORE.

THAT MEANS
WE'RE TRUSTING NATURE
TO BEHAVE AS WE PLAN?

ISN'T THAT PRESUMPTUOUS?

THESE THOUGHTS
COME FROM ARRONAX?

THEY ARE MY THOUGHTS.

TO WHICH HE,
AT LEAST, LISTENS.

MONSIEUR ARRONAX?

MARA!

YOUR FATHER...

WILL BE FINE
ON HIS OWN.

I BROUGHT YOU A GIFT.

THANK YOU.

THIS IS FROM--

YOU RECOGNIZE IT?

YOU'VE READ MY BOOK.

I COULDN'T STOP
READING IT.

IT'S SO FUNNY.
IT'S SO IMAGINATIVE.

IT WASN'T INTENDED
AS A WORK OF HUMOR.

OH.

TAKE NO OFFENSE.
I...

HOW COULD YOU KNOW
WHAT CREATURES DWELL
IN THE DEPTHS?

THEY WERE RIGHT
WHEN THEY LAUGHED AT ME.

WHO LAUGHED AT YOU?

HOW DARE THEY!

COULDN'T THEY ADMIRE
WHAT AN ORIGINAL MIND
WAS AT WORK?

THAT'S KIND.

I MADE THAT SCULPTURE
YEARS AGO

BECAUSE I LOVED
YOUR BOOK SO MUCH.

PIERRE...

I'VE NEVER MET
ANOTHER SCIENTIST
OTHER THAN MY FATHER.

I'VE NEVER MET ANYONE

WITH SUCH...

CREATIVE INSIGHT.

IT'S QUITE BEGUILING.

GO AHEAD.

I'VE KISSED YOU BEFORE.
IT'S ONLY FAIR.

[EXPLOSION]

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

GOOD GOD.

[EXPLOSION]

AAH!

108 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT.

INTERNALLY. ON THE HULL,
IT'S MUCH WORSE.

MY DAUGHTER'S FEARS
MAY HAVE BEEN CORRECT.

THE EXPLOSIVES WE LEFT
AT THIS SITE HAVE GONE,

PROBABLY DESTROYED
BY THE ERUPTION
OF A NEW VOLCANO.

OR PERHAPS CAUSING
AN ERUPTION.

ALL CREW TO EMERGENCY
STATIONS.

A VOLCANO?
UNDERWATER?

MORE VOLCANOES EXIST
UNDERWATER THAN ABOVE GROUND.

THE PRESSURE FROM THE OCEAN
KEEPS THEM FROM REACHING
THE SURFACE.

THEN WHY DON'T WE JUST
RISE TO THE SURFACE?

WE CURRENTLY DWELL
IN A CAVERN,

THE ENTRANCE TO WHICH
IS NO LONGER VISIBLE.

WE CAN ONLY RISE SO FAR
BEFORE WE HIT SOLID ROCK.

HOW CAN WE FLEE

IF WE CANNOT SEE
TO NAVIGATE?

AND IF WE CANNOT FLEE,

CAN THE NAUTILUS
SURVIVE THIS INFERNO?

IF OUR VIEW
DOES NOT CLEAR SOON,

YOUR FRIENDS WILL SHORTLY
REGAIN THEIR FREEDOM.

DEATH IS NOT
THE KIND OF FREEDOM
THEY HAD IN MIND.

CAPTAIN!

MY GOD, THE GLASS
WILL MELT.

NEMO: IF WE RISE TOO FAST,

THE COOLING DOWN
WILL ONLY SHATTER IT.

MY CHAMBERS!
THE GLASS THERE
IS DIRECTLY EXPOSED.

RISE VERY SLOWLY.

80 FATHOMS
OVER 50 MINUTES.

NO FARTHER, NO FASTER.

THOSE--THOSE BOOKS.

STRUCTURAL FAILURE
OUTSIDE YOUR DAUGHTER'S
QUARTERS, SIR.

THE HYDRAULIC PIPES.

THAT FLUID WAS NEVER
MEANT TO BE DRIVEN

THROUGH THE HEART
OF A VOLCANO.

MR. IVANDA,
LEAD A FULL COMPLEMENT.

REPORT THE MOMENT YOU ARRIVE!

WE'VE SAVED ALL WE CAN.

LET'S TAKE IT
TO A HIGHER DECK.

[COUGHING]

WHAT NOW, NEMO?!

YOU CHARTING
A COURSE FOR HELL?!

CAPTAIN,
THE HYDRAULIC FLUID
IS ABLAZE.

YOUR DAUGHTER
AND ARRONAX ARE
CAUGHT BEHIND IT.

WE'LL HAVE TO CLOSE
THE FIRE DOORS.

YOU WILL NOT CLOSE
THE FIRE DOORS AND ABANDON
MY DAUGHTER.

THERE ARE HEATING PIPES
IN THE CEILING ON THAT
CORRIDOR.

LOOSEN THE VALVES
AND USE THE FORCE
OF THE STEAM!

IVANDA:
WE CAN'T GET
TO THE VALVE!

THERE'S SOMETHING
LETHAL IN THE SMOKE.

REPORT, IVANDA!

YOU SEE AN OPENING
IN THIS STEW,

YOU MOVE US, MR. SHIMODA.

[COUGHING]

HERE. I'LL NOT HAVE YOU
DYING LIKE A RAT
IN A CAGE.

NEMO WILL HAVE YOU
COURT-MARTIALED.

[COUGHING]

IT'S NO USE.
CAN'T REACH THE VALVE.

WHAT VALVE?

YOU SEE IT?

17 DEGREES STARBOARD.

ON MY SIGNAL!

YOU A WAGERING MAN?

HE DID IT.
HE STOPPED THE FIRE.

TAKE CARE OF HIM!

THE BEST OF CARE.

OF COURSE
YOU ARE TOGETHER.

YOU ALL RIGHT?

WE'RE MOVING.

[EXPLOSION]

WE'RE FREE.

WE ARE DOWN TO 3/5
OF OXYGEN TANK ONE.

SHIMODA:
TANKS 4 AND 5
WERE ALREADY EXHAUSTED.

THE FIRE CONSUMED ALL
OXYGEN IN TANKS 2 AND 3.

ATTENTION, ALL HANDS.

YOU MUST SHARE THE REMAINING
AIR TANKS AMONG YOU.

THERE WILL BE NO UNNECESSARY
MOVEMENT OR MOTION.

WE ARE FREE TO SAIL,
BUT WE ARE FAR FROM SAFETY.

THE ICE PACK EXTENDS
HUNDREDS OF LEAGUES.

REDIRECT ALL
THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS

TO THE REAR
PROPELLERS, MR. SHIMODA.

ALL OTHER POWER USE
TO SUBSISTENCE LEVELS.

CAPTAIN, THE ENGINES
WILL NOT STAND UP--

WILL TAKE THE STRAIN.

IF THEY DO NOT,
WE ARE ALREADY DYING.

WE MAY BE GLAD
THAT IT HAPPENS QUICKLY.

SHOULDN'T YOU BE
AT YOUR FATHER'S SIDE?

IT'S BEEN TWO HOURS.
IF WE HAVE ONLY
ONE MORE HOUR LEFT,

SHOULDN'T I
SPEND IT WITH YOU?

I NEVER GOT A CHANCE
TO SEE YOUR DRAWINGS.

THIS YOUR LIFE?

YOU WERE BEATEN.

YOU WERE...

EVERY DAMN CORNER
OF THE WORLD.

WE'RE 20 FEET
BELOW THE SURFACE.

THE ICE
HAS TO BE THINNING.

[ENGINES STRAINING]

TURBINE...

NUMBER 1...

DISABLED.

SEND A TEAM
TO THE ENGINES.

BE READY
IF ANOTHER FIRE
BREAKS OUT.

SECOND TURBINE...

FAILED, CAPTAIN.

SHUT OFF ALL ENGINES...

NOW.

TAKE HIM AWAY.

WE'VE GOT TO BE CLOSE.

WE'VE GOT TO BE.

[CREAKING]

IF WE DIE...

IS THERE ANOTHER WOMAN'S
NAME THAT YOU WILL CALL?

THE ONLY WOMAN
I'VE THOUGHT OF IN YEARS
WAS NAMED LYDIA.

AND SHE WAS
MY FATHER'S MISTRESS.

BEST FORGOTTEN THEN.

SURFACE, MR. SHIMODA.

GARRETT...OPEN ALL TOP VENTS
THE MOMENT YOU CAN.

THE SURFACE.

I NEVER THOUGHT
I WOULD WANT TO SEE IT...

SO BADLY.

CAPTAIN.

2 TURBINES
ARE DISABLED.

YOUR DAUGHTER'S
CHAMBERS MUST BE
REINFORCED.

AND THE STARBOARD
HULL IS DAMAGED.

WE'LL REMAIN HERE
FOR THE DAY,
ASSESS THE DAMAGE,

THEN WE'LL TRAVEL
TO WARMER WATERS

AND SET OUT
A REPAIR CREW.

THE SUN.

MUST BE UNCOMFORTABLE
FOR YOU, ADMIRAL...

UNBROKEN STRING
OF NAVAL VICTORIES

FINALLY BROUGHT
TO AN END.

STRANGE TO SEE US
EMPLOYING WEAPONS
OF THE REBELS.

TO THE VICTOR
GO THE SPOILS,
CONGRESSMAN.

WE DEFEAT THE ENEMY,

HIS VESSEL BECOMES
PART OF OUR ARSENAL
AS WELL.

HAVE WE MET, SIR?

PROFESSOR
THIERRY ARRONAX,

FATHER TO THE BOY
WHO WAS KILLED

DURING THE ADMIRAL'S
LAST EXPEDITION.

I'M SORRY.
I DIDN'T REALIZE
HE WAS JUST A BOY.

OH, HE WAS...A MAN...
CONGRESSMAN.

MISS LYDIA RAWLINGS,

UH, CONGRESSMAN GARFIELD.

WHERE ARE YOUR MANNERS,
ARRONAX?

THE GENTLEMAN IS
PRESENTED TO THE LADY,
NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

CHARMED.

ARRONAX
IS LUCKY TO HAVE
SUCH A FAIR COMPANION.

OH, I'M NOT HERE
AS HIS COMPANION,
SIR,

BUT AS A FRIEND
OF PIERRE ARRONAX,

CONCERNED
FOR HIS LEGACY.

UH, PARDON, MA'AM.

12 CANNONS,
PORT AND STARBOARD
FORWARD GUNS...

DAVID SUBMERSIBLES,

GATLING GUNS,
SURFACE CHARGES.
THAT SHOULD DO US.

LUCKY FOR YOU
THERE'S A MILITARY MAN

IN THE WHITE HOUSE,
ADMIRAL.

SEE HERE--

THE PACIFIC SIGHTINGS
ARE ALL RANDOM.

GARFIELD:
IN THE ATLANTIC,
A PATTERN.

THE SIGHTINGS
CLUSTER NEAR HERE.

THAT'S WHERE
WE'LL MEET HIM
SOONER OR LATER.

THIS TIME
WE'LL BE READY.

WE'LL TEACH A LESSON
IN REVENGE.

REVENGE.

YES.

[ORGAN PLAYS]

I WAS WONDERING
IF YOU MIGHT NOT SET
NED LAND ASHORE.

THIS UNDERSEA HOME
YOU ARE BUILDING,

SURELY YOU KNOW
HE WANTS NO PART OF IT.

AND HE DESERVES THANKS
FOR HIS BRAVERY
IN SAVING YOUR CRAFT.

WAS IT BRAVERY?

OR JUST
SELF-PRESERVATION?

I WISH TO SPEAK
TO YOU, ARRONAX.
SIT DOWN.

THOUGH I COULD NOT
ACKNOWLEDGE IT
AT THE TIME,

IT MEANT MUCH TO ME

THAT MY DAUGHTER
WAS NOT ALONE
DURING THE CRISIS.

HER HEART IS CLEARLY
DRAWN TO YOU.

IF I MAY...

I UNDERSTAND A FATHER'S
PROTECTIVENESS,

BUT THE ANGER I SEE
IS SOMETHING
ENTIRELY DIFFERENT.

MANY YEARS AGO,

I WAS ANOTHER MAN--

A MAN SAILING
BETWEEN NATIONS...

SOMETIMES ALONE,
SOMETIMES...

WITH MY FAMILY...

TRYING TO AVOID WAR.

BUT WAR COULD NOT
ALWAYS BE AVOIDED.

I WILL NOT
RECOUNT MY TRAGEDY...

THE ABOMINATION.

SUFFICE TO SAY
THAT MY WIFE PAID DEARLY

FOR MY NAIVET?.

BEFORE MY EYES...

SHE...

I UNDERSTAND.

YOU COULD NOT.

MARA SURVIVED.
HER MOTHER DID NOT.

SHE WAS TOO YOUNG
FOR MY ENEMIES TO NOTICE.

BUT WHAT SHE SAW
AFFECTED HER DEEPLY.

IT HAS BEEN MY DUTY...

TO PROTECT HER
FROM A TREACHEROUS WORLD.

PERHAPS I...

NEED TO PROTECT HER
NO LONGER.

OR PERHAPS YOU'VE GAINED
AN ALLY IN PROTECTING HER.

MY SON'S THEORIES
ABOUT THE THREAT
IN OUR OCEANS

WERE TRAGICALLY,

MISGUIDEDLY,
PAINFULLY WRONG,

AND HE PAID
THE ULTIMATE PRICE
FOR THAT IGNORANCE.

BUT FROM HIS SACRIFICE,
WE NOW KNOW OUR ENEMY
IS HUMAN,

AND WHAT IS HUMAN
CAN BE CONQUERED.

[CHEERING]

WISH US GODSPEED

AS OUR LEADER
ADMIRAL WILLIAM MCCUTCHEON
GUIDES US TO VICTORY.

AND I,
PROFESSOR THIERRY ARRONAX,

SEEK THE VENGEANCE
THAT IS MINE.

BRAVO!
BRAVO!
BRAVO!

[APPLAUDING]

BRAVO!

[APPLAUSE]

WHAT A MAGICIAN.

ALL THAT RESENTMENT
OF PIERRE ALL GONE

SO THAT YOU CAN
PLAY A NEW ROLE.

I HONOR HIM
BY AVENGING HIS DEATH.

HE WAS THE LAST TIE
I HAD TO HIS MOTHER...
AND NOW HE'S GONE.

NOW YOU SAY SO.
IT'S A SHAME YOU NEVER
SHOWED SUCH CONCERN FOR HIM

BEFORE HE LEFT.

AND NOW I'LL
BE LEAVING, LYDIA.

I'LL BE GOING
OFF TO SEA...

AND I MAY NOT
BE COMING BACK.

CARE TO HONOR ME
WITH A KISS?

NO. IT'S ONLY MY SON

GETS THAT KIND
OF SENDOFF.

UNH!

WHAT'S KEEPING YOU
FROM JOINING THE GREAT
ADVENTURE, MR. SAXON?

THE NEW ARMAMENTS.
WHEN THE WEAPONS
OUTNUMBER THE MEN,

THAT'S WHEN
I JUMP SHIP.

NOW THAT THE ADMIRAL'S
PAYING FOR THE MISSION
HIMSELF,

WHY RISK
YOUR OWN LIFE?

IT'S SAFER TO LET
THE SOLDIERS
DO THE FIGHTING,

AND MORE BUSINESSLIKE.

YOU'RE SOMEWHAT CHANGED,
MISS RAWLINGS.

A LITTLE MORE HONEST...
PERHAPS.

AND WHAT KEEPS YOU
FROM THE EXPEDITION?

ROUGH PLACE, OF COURSE,
FOR A WOMAN.

I FIND MYSELF SUDDENLY...

OBLIGED TO LOOK
FOR EMPLOYMENT.

OH. UM, WELL...
THEN PERHAPS YOU MIGHT

WANT TO LOOK UP,
UH...

THIS GENTLEMAN.
HE'S A FRENCH CHAP,

UH, A NOVELIST
BY THE NAME OF VERNE.

HE CALLED ON ME
ASKING ABOUT
THE SUBMARINES.

I CONFESS,
MISS RAWLINGS,

I CAME HERE
BECAUSE I THOUGHT
YOU MIGHT BE ABOARD.

I ENJOYED PICTURING
YOU AS A STOWAWAY.

IT'S A ROMANTIC NOTION,
I SUPPOSE.

INDEED.

I, UH...

I'M AFRAID I...

NO LONGER BELIEVE IN...

ROMANCE.

ARE YOU READY?

WHENEVER YOU ARE.

ISN'T IT MAGNIFICENT?

I WOULDN'T HAVE
EXPECTED YOU

TO CARE
ABOUT A PHENOMENON
OF THE SURFACE WORLD.

MY FATHER AND I
HAVE FORSWORN THE LAND,

BUT THAT DOES NOT
MAKE US BLIND
TO THE SKY.

BUT...

SEEING
ALL THIS SPLENDOR

SHOWS ME THE POWER
OF MY FATHER'S WILL.

OH?

HE'S BEEN SO ANGRY
AT THE WORLD,

HE'S MANAGED TO MAKE ME
FORGET ITS BEAUTY.

I LOOK AT THE SKY

AND SOMEHOW I SEE
INTO MYSELF.

HOW CAN THAT BE?

THE SKY
LEAVES YOU ALONE.

THE OCEAN
ALWAYS SURROUNDS YOU,

IS AT YOU.

THE SKY...

ALLOWS YOU
ROOM TO THINK.

I TOLD YOU
WHAT INSIGHTS YOU HAD,
DIDN'T I?

SHOULD I LEAVE YOU
ALONE?

OF COURSE NOT.

HOW CAN YOU BE
SO BRIGHT ONE MOMENT
AND IMPOSSIBLE THE NEXT?

YEARS OF DEMANDING,
ARDUOUS PRACTICE.

PIERRE: DECEMBER 20TH.

WE ARE SAILING
TO WARMER WATERS,

WHERE NEMO'S CREW
CAN SAFELY REPAIR
THE DAMAGED HULL.

REACHING THE SURFACE
HAS AFFECTED NED LAND
PROFOUNDLY.

EVERY NIGHT HE CLIMBS TOPSIDE
TO STARE AT THE CONSTELLATIONS,

NEVER SPEAKING A WORD.

CABE'S CAPTIVITY HAS BEEN EASED
BY THE PRESENCE OF IMEI,

BUT MY OWN THOUGHTS
ARE MORE TROUBLED.

IN NEMO'S LIBRARY,
I FOUND A VOLUME

THAT ONLY ADDS
TO MY MISGIVINGS.

CABE. THIS NOVEL
WAS PUBLISHED

SHORTLY
BEFORE WE LEFT.

"JOURNEY TO THE CENTER
OF THE EARTH."

ITS AUTHOR POSTULATES
THAT A HIDDEN WORLD

EXISTS
BENEATH THE MANTLE
OF THE EARTH.

THOUGH IT'S FICTION,
NO SCIENTIST CAN SAY FOR
CERTAIN THAT HE'S WRONG.

AND WHO'S TO SAY
NEMO'S FIREWORKS

WON'T POKE THROUGH
TO THAT WORLD?

THE OCEANS WOULD DRAIN.
THE PLANET WOULD BE
THROWN OFF COURSE.

CAN YOU IMAGINE
THE CHAOS?

IT IS UNIMAGINABLE.

NOT EVEN MY FATHER CAN SEE
THE POSSIBLE DANGER.

I'VE TRIED
TO OPEN HIS EYES,
BUT TO NO AVAIL.

I SHALL HAVE TO CHOOSE
THE MOMENT VERY CAREFULLY
IF HE'S TO HEAR ME.

YOU ARE A BIT LATE
JOINING THE WORK CREW,
MR. ATTUCKS.

WE ARE ALMOST DONE
FOR THE NIGHT.

YOU'RE BEING POLITE...

'CAUSE I CAN'T SEE
WORKING FOR NO MAN
WHO LOCKS ME UP.

I SYMPATHIZE
WITH YOUR PLIGHT.

BUT JOINING THE WORK
OF THE SHIP COULD
DISTRACT YOU.

I'M DISTRACTED.

VERY GOOD. BUT
IF YOU WILL NOT WORK,

PERHAPS YOU SHOULD
SEIZE THE OPPORTUNITY
TO PLAY.

THE OCEAN AWAITS.

YOU'D LET US?

WHERE WOULD YOU
FLEE TO?

I AM HERE AS OVERSEER
TO VOUCH FOR YOU.

HA HA HA HA!

HA HA!

THAT DOESN'T LOOK
TOO FAR.

WHY SHOULD THEY
HAVE ALL THE FUN,
EH, NITONGU?

WE SHOULD JOIN 'EM.

OFF WE GO, THEN.

THE REPAIRS
WILL BE FINISHED
IN SHORT ORDER.

THEN IT WILL BE TIME
FOR ANOTHER HUNT.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

NO MORE SEAWEED
FOR NED LAND.

[CLUCKING]

[SQUAWKS]

[TURKEY MOANS]

FREEDOM!

ECHO: FREEDOM!

FREEDOM!

TIME TO RETURN,
MR. LAND!

NO!

YOU WERE RIGHT
THE FIRST TIME, ARRONAX.

THIS SHIP IS A BEAST.

JUST LET ME LIVE
ON THE ISLAND.

LEAVE ME!

SAIL AWAY.

ANOTHER SHIP
WILL COME ONE DAY,

AND THE WORLD
WILL HEAR OF ME.

YOU THINK YOU CAN
KEEP THE WORLD OUT
FOREVER?

LET MY DAUGHTER GO,
LAND.

LOCK UP ANYONE
WHO TUMBLES ON YOU?

BACK OFF.

LEAVE ME BE!

AAH!

YOU'RE KILLING HIM!
WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?

ENOUGH!

THROW HIM BACK IN THE BRIG.

IF HE RESISTS AGAIN,
SHOOT HIM.

THAT HOW IT IS?

THE TWO OF YOU
JUST KILL ANYONE
THAT ARGUES?

YOU WANT TO SIDE WITH HIM,
DO YOU?

THROW HIM IN THE BRIG,
TOO.

LEAVE THE BOTH OF THEM THERE
TILL THEY ROT.

FATHER...

HE THREATENED YOU.

THAT I CANNOT ALLOW.

I'VE TALKED TO HIM,

THOUGH I DON'T WHY I PLEAD
FOR A MAN WHO USED ME SO.

NOT THAT IT MATTERS.
HE WON'T RECANT.

'COURSE NOT.

IF A MAN HIDES FROM THE SUN,
HIS HEART GROWS DARK, TOO.

THINK YOU SCIENTISTS
WOULD KNOW THAT.

IS THAT WHAT'S HAPPENED
TO YOUR OWN HEART?

IS IT GROWING SO DARK
YOU ATTACK BOTH FRIENDS
AND ENEMIES?

ANYONE WHO LOOKS AT ME
THROUGH BARS
IS AN ENEMY.

THERE IS NOTHING
WE CAN DO HERE,
MARA,

EXCEPT TO MAKE HIM
ANGRIER.

THERE IS SOMETHING
YOU COULD DO.

YOU EVER HEARD
OF SCRIMSHAW?

I IMAGINE I COULD
GET YOU SOME WHALEBONE,

BUT NEMO WON'T ALLOW YOU
A CARVING KNIFE.

AS IF I'D
GET CLOSE ENOUGH
TO ANYONE TO USE IT.

YOU GAVE A GOOD ACCOUNT
OF YOURSELF, ARRONAX.

MAYBE NEMO'S TAUGHT YOU
SOMETHING ABOUT
BEING A MAN.

I DON'T NEED TO FIGHT YOU.

IT'S NOT A LESSON
I WISH TO LEARN.

MARA: "JANUARY 1ST.
NEW YEAR.

"BUT THIS IS AN ANNIVERSARY
MY COMPANIONS CANNOT SHARE.

"WE HAVE SAILED
INTO THE ATLANTIC.

"PRESENTLY WE SKIRT
THE SARGASSO SEA,

"TAKING CARE
NOT TO BE MAROONED

AS SO MANY OTHERS
HAD BEEN."

BUT OUR FINAL DESTINATION
REMAINS A MYSTERY.

THAT IS
MY FATHER'S DREAM.

IF HE CANNOT
DISCUSS IT WITH YOU,

I CANNOT, EITHER.

YOU CANNOT?

FORGIVE ME, BUT I THOUGHT
WE HAD REACHED
SOME SORT OF...

HAD REACHED A TRUST,
YES.

YOU WERE NOT WRONG.

BUT YOUR TRUE LOYALTY
IS WITH YOUR FATHER.

OF COURSE.

I HAVE FACED THIS
ONCE BEFORE

WITH A WOMAN WHOSE LOYALTY
WAS TO MY OWN FATHER.

I HAVE OBTAINED
SOME WHALEBONE FOR NED,
AS YOU ASKED.

WITHOUT A KNIFE,
IT IS ONLY ONE MORE SIGN
OF HIS CAPTIVITY.

I CANNOT BRING MYSELF
TO HELP THEM ANY FURTHER,

BUT IF I DO NOT,
WHO WILL?

CAPTAIN, I'M CONCERNED
ABOUT MR. ATTUCKS
AND MR. LAND.

LITTLE MAN.

WHAT?

YOU THINK MUCH OF HIM,
I SURMISE.

UNDER SEDATION,
YOU KEPT CALLING,
"LITTLE MAN."

I WAS NOT REFERRING
TO MR. LAND.

I HAVE
A RECURRING DREAM.

MY ROOM
FILLS WITH WATER.

AND THEN
I'M IN THE OCEAN

WHERE NETS
ENCIRCLE ME...

AND DRAG ME DOWN.

AND A HUGE FIGURE
TAUNTS ME
BY CALLING ME...

"LITTLE MAN."

YOU HAVE HAD THIS DREAM
FOR HOW LONG?

SINCE BOYHOOD.

I AM A COMPLETIST,

SO I HAVE ONE OF
YOUR FATHER'S MONOGRAPHS
ON OCEANOGRAPHY.

BUT WHAT I HAVE
IN FAR GREATER QUANTITIES

ARE WORKS THAT REFUTE
HIS THEORIES.

HE IS WELL KNOWN
IN OUR FIELD
AS A POMPOUS GAS BAG

WHO CARES MORE FOR FAME
THAN FOR SCIENTIFIC ACCURACY.

YOU, HOWEVER,
ARE A YOUNG INTELLECT

POISED TO MAKE
MAJOR CONTRIBUTIONS

TO THE STUDY
OF OCEAN LIFE.

SIT DOWN, PLEASE.

WOULD IT BE TRUE

THAT YOUR FATHER
CONSTANTLY BELITTLED
AND MOCKED YOU?

YES.

WHAT ELSE COULD HE DO,

THREATENED BY YOU
AS HE IS?

AND YOU THINK
HE'S THE MENACING FIGURE
IN MY DREAM?

ARRONAX HAS ALWAYS BEEN
YOUR GREATEST ENEMY.

WHAT A PITY YOU COULD
NOT HAVE HAD A FATHER

WHO COULD RECOGNIZE
YOUR TRUE SKILLS.

LOOK.

SO THE DEVILSHIP FLOATED
THROUGH HERE OFTEN.

MAYBE HE WANTED
TO SEE THE AZORES.

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK
HE'LL EVER COME BACK?

THERE'S DEATH
IN THESE WATERS.

EVERY SAILOR KNOWS IT.

LISTEN.

HEAR HOW QUIET THEY ARE?

THIS IS THE PERFECT SPOT
TO FIND OUR ENEMY.

SO WE WAIT AND WATCH?

WE'LL GROW CATARACTS.

WE HAVE HELP IN THAT.

MCCUTCHEON:
THERE'S A LEGEND
OF SOME NORSE GOD

WHO SENT RAVENS OUT
ACROSS THE GLOBE

TO DO HIS SPYING
FOR HIM.

HECTOR GOES ONE BETTER
THAN THOSE BIRDS.

HAVE PATIENCE.

HECTOR WILL
FIND US THE BLOOD
WE'RE LOOKING FOR.

WELL, WHEN WE FIND IT,
ADMIRAL, A FAVOR.

LET ME BE THE FIRST
TO BOARD THE ENEMY SHIP

AND CLAIM IT
FOR YOUR COUNTRY.

THAT HONOR NORMALLY
BELONGS TO THE COMMANDER
OF THE SHIP.

WELL, THEN THE TWO OF US
TOGETHER.

WE CAN TAKE
ONE OF THE DAVID SUBS.

I'VE LOOKED THEM OVER.
EASY ENOUGH TO STEER.

WE'LL STAKE A CLAIM
TOGETHER.

THAT HONOR BELONGS
TO THE COMMANDER
OF THE SHIP!

OF COURSE, ADMIRAL.

[SOFTLY]
AS YOU WILL, ADMIRAL.

WHERE DO YOU EXPECT TO GO
WHEN YOU GET OUT OF HERE?

WHEREVER I CAN, MATE.

THERE'S ONLY SO MANY PLACES
YOU CAN HIDE IN THIS SHIP.

MAYBE I WON'T HIDE.

MAYBE I'LL MAKE HIM
CHOOSE BETWEEN HIS SHIP
AND SETTING ME FREE.

AND THEN...
WHEN HE CALLS YOUR BLUFF?

THEN WE'LL SEE,
WON'T WE?

YOU ARE DEDICATED,
MR. LAND,

I GIVE YOU THAT.

WE'LL HAVE IT OUT
RIGHT NOW, SHALL WE?

DON'T DO IT, NED.

YOU HAVE TRIED TO ESCAPE
3 TIMES.

PIERRE HAS LOST A HAND,

AND YOU HAVE LOST
MUCH OF YOUR SKIN.

WHAT CONCLUSION
MIGHT BE DRAWN?

HOW ABOUT
WE WON'T GIVE UP

TILL WE'RE NOTHING
BUT BONES?

A SHARK ATTACKED YOU,
AND I SAVED YOUR LIFE.

PARDON ME FOR WANTING
TO DO SOMETHING
WITH IT, THEN.

YOU'RE QUIET.

NEMO ONLY KEEPS YOU ALIVE
AS A KINDNESS TO ME.

SO YOU'D HAVE US
JUST GIVE UP?

[CHUCKLING]

"VOL-CANO."

VOLCANO.
THAT'S RIGHT.

EDUCATING HER
IN THE PERILS WE FACE?

IT IS A PLEASURE
TO SPEAK TO SOMEONE
WHO'S MIND IS OPEN.

UNLIKE MYSELF,
I SUPPOSE.

THAT VOLCANO
WAS TRIGGERED BY
ONE OF OUR EXPLOSIVES.

THE SUBTERRANEAN HEAT
MELTED THE TIMING KEY.

SO YOU SPECULATE.

IS IT ANY HARDER
TO SPECULATE THAT
OTHER NATURAL PHENOMENA

COULD DISRUPT
OUR OTHER EXPLOSIVES?

WILL YOU NOT RECONSIDER
OUR PLANS?

TO SAFEGUARD OUR HOME, MARA,
IT'S NECESSARY FOR ME TO--

WHAT,
TAMPER WITH NATURE?

YOU FLED CIVILIZATION
TO EMBRACE NATURE.

WILL YOU NOT
TRUST IT NOW?

YOU ASKED TO SEE ME,
MR. ATTUCKS?

YEAH.

I WANTED YOU TO TAKE
A LOOK AT YOURSELF
STANDING BEFORE ME.

YOU GIVE ME NO CHOICE.

IF I WERE TO GIVE YOU
THE FREEDOM THAT YOU ASK,

IT WOULD DESTROY ME.

AIN'T THE FIRST TIME
I HEARD THAT STORY.

PIERRE TELLS ME
YOU ON THE SIDE
OF THE OPPRESSED.

I GUESS
EVERYTHING CHANGES.

NEMO: COME IN.

IF YOU'VE COME TO
CONTINUE MARA'S ARGUMENT

OR PLEAD
FOR YOUR FRIENDS,

DON'T WASTE YOUR BREATH.

DO YOU KNOW...

WHO THESE MEN ARE?

THE ITALIAN MANIN,

THE IRISH O'CONNELL,

KOSCIUSKO FROM POLAND,

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

LIBERATORS ALL.

DO YOU FEEL OUT OF PLACE
AMONG THEM?

PIERRE,
I WOULD BE OBLIGED

IF YOU WOULD HAVE
DINNER WITH ME
THIS EVENING.

WE HAVE MUCH TO DISCUSS.

IS THIS MUTINY
ON YOUR PART,

OR YOU CAN'T RESIST
A PRETTY FACE?

MY GUESTS,

MY DAUGHTER,

THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME

THE BEST GIFT
THAT ANYONE CAN OFFER.

YOU HAVE MADE ME THINK.

THIS...
GENERATES A SIGNAL

LIKE THAT EMPLOYED
BY THE SPERM WHALE,

WITH WHICH WE CONTROL
THE EXPLOSIVE DEVICES

WE HAVE PLACED
ALL OVER THE WORLD.

WITHOUT THIS
TO SUSTAIN THE SIGNAL,

THE TIMING KEYS WILL
FUSE TO THE DETONATORS...

[CLICKING AND WHIRRING]

AND RENDER THE EXPLOSIVE
DEVICES USELESS.

WHY IN THE BLOODY HELL
AM I HERE
TO WATCH THIS?

IT'S UP TO YOU,
MR. LAND.

DO WE ATTEMPT
TO CURE THIS PLANET
OF GEOLOGICAL UPHEAVALS,

OR DO WE TAKE OUR CHANCES
WITH NATURE?

YOU KNOW MY ANSWER.

I'M NOT ASKING YOU
FOR ADVICE.

YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE.

IT IS DECIDED.

IF AN EARTHQUAKE
STRIKES OUR NEW HOME--

AND IT HAS DONE
ONCE BEFORE--

IT IS NATURE'S WILL,
IN WHOM WE TRUST.

FREEDOM IS A RISK.

THANKS TO NED LAND,
WE MUST TAKE THAT RISK.

SO IT'S ON MY HEAD NOW.

ANOTHER TRICK?

NO TRICK.

WHAT GREATER FREEDOM
COULD I GIVE YOU

THAN TO ENTRUST OUR FATE

TO THE MAN
WHO TRUSTS ME THE LEAST?

WE HAVE TRAVELED
20,000 LEAGUES

TO REACH OUR NEW HOME.

WHEN WE ARRIVE,

IF YOU DO NOT WISH
TO REMAIN,

I WILL RETURN YOU
TO THE SURFACE.

I WONDER IF YOU SHALL
REALLY WISH TO LEAVE.

WHERE THE HELL
ARE WE HEADED?

A LOST WORLD,
GENTLEMEN.

A FABLED WORLD.

A WORLD NO MODERN MAN
BELIEVES TO EXIST.

ATLANTIS.

BEHOLD.

THE GUARDIANS
AT THE GATES

WELCOME YOU
TO ATLANTIS...

A LEGEND OF HISTORY
SOON TO BE LEGENDARY AGAIN.

I CANNOT WRITE
ABOUT THIS!

I CAN'T DO IT JUSTICE.

EVERYTHING I...

WE WILL BE THERE SOON?

YOU UNDERSTAND
WHY I COULD NOT
TELL YOU BEFORE?

IT WAS NOT MY RIGHT.

IT WAS
YOUR FATHER'S DREAM,

A DREAM ONLY HE
COULD MAKE ME BELIEVE.

ATLANTIS REALLY EXISTS!

EVERYTHING PLATO SAID
WAS TRUE.

YOU'LL JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
SOON ENOUGH, PIERRE.

WE'LL BE THERE AS SOON AS
THE DIVING BELLS ARE READY.

I DID NOT COME HERE
TO WATCH YOU WRITE
IN YOUR JOURNAL.

YOUR FATHER WARNED ME
AGAINST SEDUCING YOU.

PIERRE,
A WOMAN OFFERS HERSELF

OR SHE DOES NOT.

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND.

THE ONLY WOMEN
WHO ARE SEDUCED

ARE THE ONES WHO
DO NOT WISH TO BE CAUGHT
OFFERING THEMSELVES.

HOW DID YOU
BECOME SO WISE
GROWING UP SO ALONE?

WHO DID YOU BECOME WISE
GROWING UP SURROUNDED
BY PEOPLE?

MR. LAND'S INJURIES
WILL KEEP HIM ABOARD,

BUT HE WILL SEE
OUR NEW HOME
SOON ENOUGH.

WE MUST LEAVE NOW.

THE DIVING BELL WILL
GET US TO THE CITY
WITHIN MINUTES.

YOUR CAPTAIN
MAKES ME LAUGH.

HE TALKS ABOUT
SETTING ME FREE,

AND THEN HE DOES THIS.

WE'RE PREPARED TO LEAVE.

GIVEN YOUR HISTORY,
THIS PRECAUTION
IS MERELY PRUDENT.

ALL KINGDOMS AND COUNTRIES
COLLAPSE IN TIME,

DESTROYED BY THE SEA.

THE FLOOD RAVAGED
NOAH'S LAND.

THE OCEAN CLAIMED ATLANTIS.

WATER IS THE GREAT NURTURER
OF LIFE

AND THE GREAT DESTROYER.

LIFE AROSE FROM THE OCEAN,

AND IT MUST RETURN THERE.

AND SO WE COME
BEARING THE LEARNING
AND CULTURE OF THE WORLD

BACK TO THIS ANCIENT
PARADISE,

TO ESCAPE THE MADNESS
OF THE SURFACE

TO A HAVEN CALLED
NEW ATLANTIS.

WELCOME, MY FRIENDS.

YOU BUILT ALL THIS
UNDERWATER?

THE SEPARATE ELEMENTS
WERE CONSTRUCTED ABOVE.

WITH THE USE
OF MANY DIVING BELLS,

WE REASSEMBLED THEM
ON THIS SITE.

I'M NOT GOING
TO ANOTHER PRISON.

THIS WAS THE HOME
OF ATLANTIS' KING.

YES, BUT THE NEW ATLANTIS
WON'T HAVE A KING.

OUR LAW SHALL BE
THE LAW OF EQUALS.

THE LAW OF EQUALS?

THIS IS THE CULMINATION...

OF YEARS OF STRUGGLES...

AND DREAMS.

AT LAST I CAN REST.

NOOOO!

[ALARM BLARING]

MR. ATTUCKS,
STAY WITH THE WOMEN
UNTIL I RETURN.

PIERRE?

BLOW THE WATER BALLAST!

RISE! RISE!

I WILL NOT STAY HERE
AND FRET

WHILE MY FATHER'S DREAMS
ARE IN DANGER.

[SHRIEKS]

MAN: ON THE PORT SIDE!

HELMSMAN, CLOSE IN!

ARM THE DAVID SUBS!

GUESS I ALWAYS WANTED
TO BE A HERO. STAND BACK.

STEADY.

THERE YOU ARE.

STEADY.

FIRE!

HELP HIM!

HARD ABOUT!
GIVE THEM A FIGHT!

HELMSMAN, CLOSE IN.

[CANNONS FIRING]

READY TORPEDOES!

HELP HIM!

I CAN'T CONTROL IT!

THEY'RE UNDER ATTACK!

SUBMARINERS,
HEAVE OFF!

FIRE!

WHAT'S WRONG?

THE MECHANISMS OF THE TORPEDOES
MUST BE CRIPPLED.

ABANDON SHIP!

ABANDON SHIP!

ABANDON SHIP!

THEY'RE KILLING THE NAUTILUS!
ABANDON SHIP!

THEY'RE PIRATES!
THEY'RE PIRATES!
SHOOT THEM DOWN!

SHOOT THEM DOWN!

WHERE ARE THEY?

WHERE ARE MY MEN?

ADMIRAL, SOMETHING SURFACED
OFF THE PORT BOW!

GRAPPLE IT ABOARD!

BREAK IT OPEN!

WHAT KIND
OF INHUMAN ENEMY
DO WE FACE, ARRONAX,

THAT HE SENDS WOMEN
INTO BATTLE FOR HIM?

ARRONAX.

YOU ARE THE FATHER
OF PIERRE ARRONAX?

BUT HOW--

SILENCE!

HOW DO YOU KNOW HIM?

HOW DO YOU KNOW HIM?

ANSWER ME.

MCCUTCHEON:
TAKE HER BELOW.

COME, SIR.
LET'S CLAIM THE SUBMARINE.

I WILL NOT TELL YOU
AGAIN, ARRONAX.

I, ALONE,
WILL BOARD HER,

I, ALONE,
WILL CLAIM VICTORY.

NEMO: MY GOD,
THE ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

PIERRE:
ADMIRAL MCCUTCHEON.

I SHOULD HAVE
FINISHED THEM
THE FIRST TIME.

TORPEDOES.

I'LL SEE TO THIS.
YOU TAKE THE WHEEL.

WHEN YOU HEAR THE SIGNAL,

YOU DO ONE COMPLETE TURN
TO THE RIGHT,

STRAIGHTEN UP,
AND HOLD ON.

WE CANNOT DIVE AGAIN
UNTIL THE HULL
IS REPAIRED,

BUT PERHAPS WE CAN
LEAVE OUR ENEMIES BEHIND
IN FLAMES!

[ALARM]

WELL DONE.

WE WILL WAIT
AND MAKE SURE

THAT THE SHIP
HAS BURNED DOWN,

AND THEN WE WILL
TAKE A DIVING BELL

AND RETRIEVE MARA
AND THE OTHERS.

WILL THEY BE SAFE
UNTIL THEN?

THEY ARE IN
THEIR NEW HOME NOW.

YOU TAUGHT ME TO TRUST,

THAT NOTHING
WILL GO WRONG THERE.

YOUR HAND.

IT'S FUSED SOLID.

YES.

INDEED.

REST, CAPTAIN.

STAND ASIDE, BOY.

LET THE MEN TALK.

PIERRE ARRONAX
SPEAKS FOR ME.

GOT A NEW PATRON, HUH?

YOU DON'T CARE
THAT I'M ALIVE?

YOU DON'T CARE
THAT I'M SAFE?

YOU'RE MY SON.

YOU DON'T NEED ME
TO FAWN ALL OVER YOU.

NO. I AM NO LONGER
YOUR SON.

NED LAND IS YOUR SON.

ADOPTED THE WHELP,
HAVE WE?

MCCUTCHEON IS YOUR SON.

MEN WHO DESTROY
ARE YOUR SONS.

THAT'S NO WAY TO TALK,
PIERRE.

I KNOW THERE'S BEEN
ROUGH WATER BETWEEN US,

BUT THIS COULD BE
THE OPPORTUNITY
TO SMOOTH IT ALL OVER.

MY WHOLE LIFE...

I'VE WAITED SO LONG

FOR SOME KIND
OF ACCEPTANCE FROM YOU,

AND NOW--

THIS CRAFT
BELONGS TO US NOW.

WE SAIL THIS BEHEMOTH
BACK TO WASHINGTON,
WE'RE HEROES,

FATHER AND SON.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

WELL,
MAYBE NOT THE STATES.

PARIS AND THE EMPEROR

OR MAYBE
WE NAME OUR PRICE

AND WATCH THE BIDS
ROLL IN.

THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN.

CAPTAIN NEMO
WILL DIE FIRST.

WELL...

NO!

YOU WILL NOT KILL HIM.

YOU WILL NOT KILL
THIS SHIP.

IT'S OUR GOOD SHIP
THAT'S BEEN KILLED,
SIR.

AT LEAST
YOUR OWN MEN
JOINED IT

AND EVEN THAT GIRL
YOU SENT AGAINST US.

GIRL?

BOTHERS YOU, DOES IT?

WE CAUGHT SOME LITTLE
FAIR-SKINNED LASSIE

IN ONE OF YOUR
SEA BUBBLES.

TOOK HER ON BOARD

JUST IN TIME
FOR YOU TO BLOW HER UP.

MARA.

MARA!

NO!

[GUNSHOT]

NO!

SHAME YOU DIDN'T WANT IN
ON THIS WITH ME, BOY.

DON'T SAY I NEVER
GAVE YOU A CHANCE.

NOW THE SHIP IS MINE.

NEVER.

AMAZING.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.

WHAT I WON'T BE ABLE
TO ACHIEVE WITH
A CRAFT LIKE THIS.

PIERRE: JANUARY 1, 1900,

I HAVE SPENT
THE TURN THE NEW CENTURY

READING MY DIARIES
FROM YEARS AGO.

NO ONE NOW BELIEVES
THE NAUTILUS EXISTED

OUTSIDE THE NOVEL
MR. VERNE CREATED
FROM MY MEMOIRS.

I HAVE BEEN CONTENT
TO LEAVE IT THAT WAY,

RATHER THAN SEE THE WORLD
HUNT HIM AGAIN

IF SOMEHOW HE SURVIVED.

COULD HE HAVE SURVIVED?

CABE AND IMEI
ESCAPED THE CATACLYSM

IN THE LAST OF NEMO'S
DIVING BELLS

AND BROUGHT ME BACK
TO SHORE.

EVERY DAY NOW
I WATCH THE OCEAN

WONDERING IF SOMEHOW
MARA OR HER FATHER
WILL APPEAR.

BUT EVEN IF
THEY DID SURVIVE,

WHY WOULD THEY EVER APPEAR
ON THE SURFACE AGAIN?

I KNOW THE ONLY THING
CAPTAIN NEMO EVER WANTED
WAS...

NEMO:
TO LIVE, GENTLEMEN,

IN THE EMBRACE OF THE SEA.

ONLY HERE IS THERE
INDEPENDENCE.

HERE I RECOGNIZE
NO MASTER.

HERE I AM FREE.
