(Jessie)
'Getting some
great shots, guys.'

gurgle gurgle

(Zegler)
The best view
is just ahead, Jessie.

(Jonny)
Wow!

(Jessie)
It's beautiful.

Oh, man. Very cool.

(Zegler)
This is the only way
to really see the place.

I read every article and report
on this city a million times.



Mr. Zegler, would you mind
being the cameraman?

My pleasure.

[whirring]

Hi, Hadji. Hi, Race. Here we are
20,000 leagues under the sea.

Behind me
is the Verne Research Centre.

An honest to goodness
underwater city.

(Jonny)
The next time we come here

the whole place will be
finished sort of even cooler.

(Jessie)
Hi, dad. I hope you're getting
over that ear infection.

Deep sea pressure
wouldn't be good.

We're having a blast.
This city is just incredible.

- Feel better. Love you.
- See you in about a week, guys.

- Bye, you guys.
- See you.

- See you later.
- Adios.



That was great.
Let's continue the tour.

(Zegler)
'Now this building
is our administration centre'

'and that room
is our control centre.'

(Dr. Quest)
'Very impressive, Dr. Duval.
It looks like '

'you've accomplished
a great deal in the past year.'

Thank you, Dr. Quest,
that's nice to hear.

We're hoping to finish
construction by October.

Yes, nearly a year ahead
of schedule.

But you know
that's why I'm here.

Yes, I know.

Whenever a Government project
is under budget

and ahead of schedule
it looks suspicious.

Well, not excatly.
They only--

They sent you
to check us.

There's no need for you
to be defensive, doctor.

This inspection
is just a formality.

I'm not here
to shut you down.

To tell you the truth,
I'm on your side.

You've done
a wonderful job here.

Ah, I appreciate that.

We're just anxious to get
the actual construction

over with and get on
with our real work here.

Studying the mysteries
of the ocean.

Exactly.
Speaking of which..

Hey, kids. Thank you for having
your foreman show them around.

My pleasure.

Mr. Zegler, loves to show
the place off, anyway.

(Zegler)
'That building was our living
and administration complex.'

'Ahead is the city's
largest structure.'

'The Oceanography Lab.'

The best marine biologists
in the world

are the fighting
over the honor of working here.

(Jonny)
Hey, what's that?

My construction group, they're
blasting a new site today.

bang

(Jessie)
'Wow! This telephoto lens
works great.'

(Zegler)
'My workers are using
mini detonators'

'to precisely shape
the excavation'

'after the main dig
has started.'

bang

(Zegler)
We've been blasting around
the clock for eight months now.

(Jessie)
Is that the moon pool?

(Zegler)
'Yep, our submarine garage.'

(Jessie)
'Did you know Dr. Quest designed
it's pressurization system?'

Yes, I know. It's an honor
to have you all here.

Not everybody gets
my VIP tour.

[rumbling]

What?

[rumbling]

crackle crackle

beep beep

(female #1)
'We're registering
an 8.7 seaquake.'

The epicentre is only 90 metres
up our Southeast perimeter.

Hang on everyone.

[rumbling]

crash

(Zegler)
'There goes
the main transport tube.'

The whole city's
gonna flood.

(Zegler)
'No the flood doors
shut automatically.'

splash

(Jonny)
What's that?

(Jessie)
'It looks like
an exposed hive something.'

'And there's something
swimming out of it.'

[screeching]

[screeching]

[screaming]

[gasping]

Oh, my.

Go, go.

(Zegler)
Head for the moon pool. Now!

A-ah!

A-ah!

(Zegler)
Whoa!

splash

Help! Quick!

[screaming]

splash

[growling]

No, they're amphibious.

beep

[sreeching]

beep

Aah!

thud

thud

t'chi

clank

Quick, pull the cable.

thud

Uh, what are
those things?

I don't know.

I've never seen
anything like them.

Give me
killer sharks anyday.

Atleast they don't
follow you out of the water.

That door will hold them.

[Jessie gasping]

Look at this.

(Jessie)
See how tough their
teeth and claws are.

That door's not gonna
hold for long.

I just hope dad is okay.

Jonny, Jessie,
come in, please.

Oh, still nothing.

Is there a back up
communication system?

I'm afraid not.

Our communication tower
was destroyed.

Don't worry, your kids
were outside when the quake hit.

They're safer than we are.

Sorry, doctor, but I have
to find out for myself.

Let me lock down
this damage first

then we'll prep
for our search operation.

[cracking]

Don't say it, Quest.

You think I rushed
the construction.

We survived an 8.7 quake.

Obviously you built
the city much stronger

than the design specs.
Otherwise, we'd all be dead.

Thank you, doctor.

How's that window coming?

I think
it'll hold for now.

But this Epoxy
is just a bandage

sooner or later external
pressure is goona crush

this room like a paper cup.

Do what you can. The damage
report's coming up now.

'Okay, it doesn't look good.'

'The communication tower,
the air reclamation'

'and main power systems
are down.'

(Dr. Quest)
'It looks like several
ancillary structures'

'are destroyed as well.'

But those buildings
are unoccupied.

Everyone's been accounted for..

Oh, except for nine
outside workers--

And the kids!

I'm using one of your mini-subs
to look for myself.

I wish
that were possible.

All our submersibles are on
the other side of that bridge.

We're cut off
from the laboratory complex.

Exactly. We'll send divers
to retrive the sub.

Then break out
a spare dive-suit, doctor

because I'm going with them.

(Jonny)
'Okay, that's the last one.'

When those things bust into
that first air lock

they're in for some
nasty surprises.

- Jessie?
- Come in, centre.

Come in, please.

Every one of these
blasted intercoms is dead.

(Jonny)
'I think this
is a video system.'

- 'What are you doing?'
- 'Taking a look around.'

[dramatic music]

click click

(Jonny)
'Hey, it's those uglies.'

[Jessie panting]

(Jessie)
'What are the one's
in the back doing?'

I don't know,
but it looks suspicious.

(Jonny)
'Here, I think
I can get a closer look.'

'Uh? It looks like
they're sealing the way in.'

Or the way out?

[panting]

We'll get
through this, Jess.

I-I've been begging
to visit this place

since I first heard of it.

And now I've gotten
claustrophobic or something.

- I'm sorry.
- It's okay.

[panting]

This is crazy.

We're in a big tin can,
sitting in the bottom

of the ocean
and there's those things..

Don't worry, Jess. We can beat
those overgrown sardines.

Listen, Race told me once
that real courage

is about fighting back,
especially when you're scared.

[panting]

Dad said that?
He's not afraid of anything.

Well, he's still
only human.

We'll get through
this together.

(Jonny)
'I promise.'

clank

(Jonny)
Maybe there's something
we can use in here.

Hey, I found
just the thing.

Great, mini detonators
like the blasting crew uses.

bang bang bang

bang!

Huh, they've broken
through the air lock.

Easy, we've left them
a few suprises, remember?

[growling]

clank

t'chi t'chi

Lets get moving.

[growling]

(Simone)
'We don't have a lot of options,
so here's the plan.'

I want you three
to swim over to the moon pool.

And bring back
as many subs as possible.

[rumbling]

We have to evacuate,
before this place collapses.

Mr. Dalchili, you keep close
to Dr. Quest

while he searches
for his kids.

(male #1)
'Hey, what's that?'

- Jonny and Jessie?
- I don't think so.

[screaming]

[dramatic music]

[screaming]

slam

- It's too late for them.
- What are those things?

You're the marine biologist.
You tell me.

It's a completely
new species.

Write a paper about them
some other time.

My kids are with those things.

(Jessie)
This is the way
to the moon pool.

Not too bad for someone
who's supposedly afraid.

I'm too busy
to be afraid.

We gotta get outta here.

[shrill screech]

[instrumental music]

We have to double back.

[screeching]

(Jonny)
'They can't stand
the light.'

Yeah, I noticed it earlier
in the moon pool.

We can't keep this
up forever.

What are you doing?

Testing one
of the detonators.

Are you crazy?

This whole section
might collapse.

Maybe. But those things
will definately kill us.

Well, hurry.
This battery is dying.

Cover your ears.

[growling]

bang

thud

More of them.

[shrill screech]

Come on!

It's a dead end,
Jonny.

Hang on.

(Jonny)
'There's still
one way out.'

No, not in there.
I can't do it.

You go
and bring help.

Jess, you know,
I'm not leaving without you.

I'm as scared
as you are.

'But those things are
gonna be here any second.'

[shrill screech]

Amphibious creatures could
survive at these depths

if their natural habitat
were air filled caverns

beneath the sea floor.
The quake must have--

I'm not concerned
about origins, doctor.

I'm worried sick
about Jessie and Jonny.

What do we
have to do--

(female #1)
'Doctor Duval.'

Magnifique.

bang bang bang

[banging]

(Dr. Quest)
'Everybody out of here. Now!'

(Simone)
Perhaps even...intelligent.

[indistinct chattering]

Come on, doctor.

crash

[screaming]

splash

[dramatic music]

Whoa!

[coughing]

Dr. Duval,
are you alright?

What do you think? I found
the greatest mystery of the sea.

A marine bioligist's dream.

And it's probably
going to kill us all.

Don't count us out yet.

I've been in situations
more hopeless than this.

And so have my kids.

You're not being
very realistic.

We're probably the only ones
alive. Your kids..

We don't know
anything for sure.

[panting]

Right behind you,
Jess.

Just keep going straight.
You're doin' fine.

It looks like
a straight line from here.

If we're lucky, we'll end up
at the moon pool.

Then what? Those things
have sealed it off.

It's the only way out.

[shrill screech]

[rumbling]

Jessie, they'll
be here any minute.

I just can't
take this anymore.

Please, Jess.

I can't.

(Jonny)
'Then I have no choice.'

clank clank

What was that?

I tossed a detonator
down the vent.

Are you nuts?

You'll know
in a few moments.

[gasping]

Of all
the stupid stunts!

[dramatic music]

[growling]

bang

crash

That...was
the craziest, stupidest..

Ah, save your thanks
for later.

Right now,
we've got a sub to catch.

[dramatic music]

Did you hear that?

[shrill screech]

More of them.

This way.

[intense music]

[shrill screech]

Run!

- Come on, doctor.
- I..

[indistinct chattering]

screech screech

(Simone)
'What are you doing?'

(Dr. Quest)
'Something...desperate.'

crackle

Get ready to shut that air lock.

[shrill screech]

Now!

[electrical chirping]

[screeching]

Are you crazy?

If you'd been
any slower..

Yes, yes, I know.

It would've
been...unpleasant.

I think they're all dead.

(Dr. Quest)
'What are you doing?'

What any good
scientist would do.

(Jonny)
Well, Jess, This looks like
the best of the lot.

Even if that...shell
weren't covering the pool

how're we supposed
to get the sub into the water?

If I'm right,
we won't have to.

You better get in
and see if she'll start up.

But the sub,
it's so--

Look, I know
it won't be easy for you

but it's the only way
to the surface.

You gotta do it, Jess.

And I'll make
our departure arrangements.

Hurry!

bang bang

(Jonny)
I'm hurrying.

That's tha last detonator.

We have about 40 seconds.

(Jessie)
'Just in time.
Here they come.'

(Jessie)
'Hey, uglies,
bright enough for you?'

[screeching]

bang

bang!

[cracking]

[dramatic music]

Come on, Jessie.
Get this crate moving.

(Jessie)
I think I've got it.
Hang on.

[whirring]

(Jonny)
'Alright, Jess!'

Hey...you didn't do
too bad yourself.

(Simone)
Oh, they don't appear
to be damaged.

Doctor, this is
hardly the time.

What kind of a scientist
are you, Quest?

This...is the find
of the century.

gurgle gurgle

And I must find a way
to escape this place

and share it
with the world.

Duval!

bang

[screeching]

They're more!

splash

- Jonny!
- Hi, dad.

Look, let's get moving
before we're fish food.

Please, doctor,
there's no time.

No, I am not leaving
without one of them.

Dad, please!

[dramatic music]

So, when we couldn't get
the sub into the water

Jonny just blew
the floor out from under us.

Incredible!

We're sorry about all those
people and Doctor Duval.

She would've wanted us to
rebuild and try again, doctor.

And if it weren't for
the three of you

we wouldn't be around
to keep her dream alive.

(Iris)
'Welcome to Quest World.
Please specify desired data.'

'Warning, desired data
will overload my circuits.'

[alarm ringing]

'Your desire
requires...precaution..'

Severely ...precaution..

Thank you for your data..

Thank you...Quest World.
