Climate change can disrupt marine ecosystems by altering sea temperatures, which may cause dormant deep-sea creatures to wake up and potentially disrupt local habitats. In this animated adventure, the Nekton family discovers that warming Arctic waters have awakened a giant crab (Teddy Bear Crab Monumental) that has been dormant for 6,000 years, demonstrating how environmental changes can have unexpected consequences for marine life.

Added:Don't worry, >> [music] >> we've got this.
>> Okay, but hurry. The shark is back.
Hurry. Let's go check on the bear.
>> Yeah, I'll put the rover away later.
>> I know. I know.
Hard to find a meal when your whole habitat and climate are changing.
>> Whoa. Sea temps here are higher than anywhere else off Greenland.
The deepest strait has never been this warm.
Even global warming can't explain these temperatures.
>> How's the bear?
>> Is it okay? What's happening?
>> That was quick. Was the rover stowed properly?
>> It was Anne's turn.
>> Can I do it later?
>> If we break a very important piece of equipment [music] because neither of you secured it.
>> Please. We want to see the bear.
>> Okay, later. Just make sure you do it.
>> We will. Can you zoom in on him?
>> How do you know the bear's a him?
>> It's obvious. Most male mammals are larger than the females.
>> Not you.
>> The point is you can't get much bigger than Barry.
>> Barry? No way.
I'm going with Arnuluk. It's Inuit.
Means big woman. Suits our female polar bear, don't you think?
>> But our Barry is a bull.
>> It's not ours. It's not a pet. It's wild, powerful, and dangerous.
>> And very cute.
>> I'm not denying that.
>> It's a wild animal. Don't get attached to it.
>> Him.
>> Her.
>> It. We need to find somewhere to release it soon.
And >> Mom, what's he doing?
>> Uh I'm a marine biologist, good with [music] fish. Bears? Less so.
>> I'm pretty sure that's not normal.
>> I'm pretty sure you're right.
>> Keiko, I know that look.
>> What look? I don't have looks.
>> You do. And this one says the biggest land carnivore in the world needs help, and I'm going in there.
>> That's a pretty specific look.
>> Keiko, you're not going in there. You would need a suit of armor.
>> Okay, Mom. Good luck. If you need any help, don't call me.
>> You should have tranquilized Arnaluk.
[music] >> I don't think we have enough tranquilizer for Barry. I mean, look at the size of him. And those teeth?
>> Not helping, Aunt.
>> Sorry, Mom.
>> Looks like it's sleeping.
>> Or pretending to sleep to lure its prey closer.
>> Aunt.
>> Yeah, sorry. Again. Don't worry. It's all going really well.
>> [music] >> No injuries, no parasites, temps within normal range. Nothing's obviously wrong.
That's good. Huh, BMI's high.
This animal's not just big, it's carrying a lot of extra weight.
>> Surprising since food's so scarce.
>> But her behavior is odd. Maybe he's just totally exhausted.
>> She.
>> Okay, maybe some blood might tell us [music] if there are any toxins in its system.
>> Uh, Kiko, I was already uncomfortable with this, but sticking it with a needle?
>> It'll be okay, Will.
>> You are literally poking the bear.
>> Got it.
>> Phew.
>> Oh, good job.
What?
Impossible.
>> Now to attach a wireless heart sensor.
>> Is that really necessary?
>> It's still sleeping. I only have to remove a little bit of fur.
>> Sure, shaving a polar bear.
How could that end badly?
>> I'm out of here.
>> Yes.
Mom, watch out.
>> [screaming] >> Come on.
>> Over here, Barry. Barry, hey.
>> Hans, don't do it.
>> Simple.
>> Oh.
>> Oh, hello.
Goodbye.
>> Uh Barry?
I don't know if it's the name that's upsetting you. We can change it.
Uh how do you feel about Kevin?
Okay, Kevin is clearly worse.
>> Mom, your servo controls have been knocked out. You need to reboot. Hit the emergency power supply.
>> Back off.
I SAID BACK [screaming] OFF.
>> STILL WANT TO KEEP THAT BEAR AS A PET?
>> She became a little less cute when she tried to eat half my family.
>> Everyone, come up to the bridge. You're going to want to see this.
>> We kind of have some news, too.
It's kind of hard to say who was the bigger hero, but Mom was very cool.
>> Look.
>> That can't be kelp?
In the Arctic?
>> Tropical fish near ice? That can't be a thing.
>> This is our position. In the center of the warmest sea temperatures.
>> Whatever's causing the ice to melt so fast is right under us?
>> Looks like it.
>> The bear's becoming [music] more erratic.
>> I can relate. Me and confinement are incompatible.
>> You're incompatible with everything.
>> Only the boring things, Fontaine.
>> Well, the sooner we find out what's causing these sea temperatures, the sooner we can get that bear back into its natural habitat.
>> Poor Barry, aren't you a luck?
Have you had a shower recently?
>> [snorts] >> It's a scientific fact that nearly being eaten by a polar bear can cause a a perspiration malfunction.
>> I'm going out in the rover. Who's with me?
>> Me.
>> The rover is a confined space. Maybe you should stay.
>> Uh-uh, no fair.
>> Ant, I'll be running some tests.
>> Heading out, too, huh?
Sheesh, it must be really bad.
>> Let's try the densest part of the kelp first. The source of the heat might be there.
>> You know, you wouldn't be out there so fast [music] if the rover had been inconveniently stowed away.
>> Yes, Ant. Excellent plan.
This warmer area only seems to be a few nautical miles wide, but there's no obvious [music] heat source. No volcanic activity, no thermal vents.
>> There is the Jeffrey.
>> He went out to stretch his fins.
Normally, Jeffrey would never be able to swim in the Arctic Circle.
Stand by. I'm sending out pingers now.
>> Why the pingers, Ant?
>> A 3D map of the whole area can't hurt.
>> Good thinking.
>> Wow, was that a compliment, Fontaine?
>> It just slipped out.
>> Any luck?
Barry's blood work shows nothing abnormal, but something is.
>> Anything from the heart monitor?
>> Well, that makes no sense.
Huh, the pingers are mapping a solid mass under the upper sediment.
>> What's it look like?
>> It looks like No way!
It looks like a giant crab!
Something this size would have to be another monumental.
>> Well, that's a monumental, all right.
>> Wow!
>> And it's it's a teddy bear crab. They're usually little and really hairy.
>> Wow, really, really hairy.
>> So, the kelp isn't kelp, but in fact, hair.
>> And the surprises keep coming.
Barry is definitely female.
>> What? No!
I knew it!
>> Are you sure?
>> Pretty sure. Heart rate monitors don't lie. See?
Mom baby.
>> What?
Did you say Barry is going to be a mother?
And soon.
>> Wow!
>> That explains why Arnaluk [music] is so big.
>> Yep, apparently, female polar bears store enough [music] fat to live off for 8 months while they nurse their cubs.
>> Wait.
She's having a cub on the Aronnax?
>> Submarine baby!
>> She can't. The stress of giving birth here could make her lose her cub.
That's not happening.
I'm setting a course north. We have to find our new home before baby comes.
>> We We to hot dock the rover. I won't have time to slow down.
>> Huh.
>> Excellent. Haven't done that for years.
>> Oh, an ant.
>> Yes, you're right, Watson.
>> Pardon?
>> Uh you were right.
>> What a beautiful sentence.
>> Are we thinking this Monumental's been here since Queen Dory's [music] put them all to sleep?
>> Probably. And 6,000 years ago, this area was all ice.
>> Not anymore.
>> So, maybe today's warming waters caused the crab's [music] metabolism to speed up.
>> And its body temperature rose a degree or two.
>> And that's enough to make a big difference in sea temps here.
>> Wait. Does this mean the Monumental's waking up?
>> Maybe, but at this rate it'll take years. We'll come back check in on it.
>> Sorry to interrupt. The baby's heart rate just went irregular.
>> Undocking in 10 seconds.
Timed this just right.
Hotdock it. Never boring.
>> Great job, Dad. I found a better ice shelf. Should be there in 20.
>> How's Arna left doing?
>> Can't see her on camera, but both heart rates are very high.
>> Woah.
What was that?
>> That was me.
That was not me.
>> Will, the bear has escaped. I say again, the bear has escaped.
>> What's happening? Someone speak to me.
>> Ah!
Stay away them. Shoot.
>> Get to the knife.
Settle down. Stay back.
>> Almost hit myself in. Wait.
Rolling over.
>> Yes, great idea, Ant. Mom, kill the lights.
Fontaine, night vision.
>> [groaning] >> Shh. Tracker sent in the dark. So, she'll come after me. You said yourself, I smell big time.
>> Your great idea is to lure [music] her into the moon pool with your aroma?
>> Yes. Then we do a barrel roll and our bear floats to the surface.
>> What? No way. What if she gets hurt?
>> Fontaine, we're close enough to [music] land and she is padded.
>> But >> Fontaine, I know you're scared for her, but I'm scared for all of you. We need her out of there.
>> Tell me when she's in the pool.
>> She's in.
>> Okay, Mom. Go for it.
>> All brace.
>> I'll get her, Kringle.
>> What about Arlo and Lucky?
Is she all right?
Ant?
Ant, do you read me?
Ant, come in.
Huh.
That was fun.
Can you see Arlo >> No, can't see her. Can't see her anywhere.
>> Look again.
>> Sorry.
Nothing.
Mom?
Still no sign of her.
>> She has to be all right.
>> Wait, I see something. No, maybe.
>> Come on, Aunt.
It's her. She's doing great.
>> Thank you.
>> You were right, Aunt.
>> Pardon?
>> You were right. What a beautiful sentence.
>> She's heading straight for the ice shelf, 200 m.
>> Great, her instincts are strong.
>> This ice shelf [music] looks stable.
There are even ice caves just inland.
>> Perfect den material.
>> Wait, something's moving in the water between the bear and the shoreline.
>> I can see them. More Greenland sharks.
>> Sonar says there are three. No, four.
>> I've got one, but I can't stop them all.
>> Not today, shark.
Well, this one thinks the white knight might be tasty.
>> Hey, out of here.
Um, some help, guys?
>> Shark wrangling here.
>> leave mine.
>> Mom, >> Sorry I took so long. Traffic was terrible.
>> Sorry, fella, but polar bear's off the menu today.
>> Yes. Go Arnaluk.
>> Go Arnaluk.
>> You go, girl.
>> Good luck with your baby.
>> [music] >> Are we sure this is a cave?
>> Yes, the one she headed to yesterday.
>> [crying] >> Look.
So beautiful.
>> So perfect.
>> [snorts] >> Okay.
Okay.
Obviously, the most important thing now is giving this baby a name.
>> No. You're banned from naming polar bears. No more [music] Barry's.
>> We should name it after the person who cared for its mother the most.
>> I and that's actually very sweet.
Thank you.
>> The bear shall be named Jeffrey.
>> What? Jeffrey didn't do anything.
>> He didn't need to.
His mere presence inspires us to greatness.
Look at him. He even looks like a Jeffrey.
>> [laughter] >> That's just a movie, Aunt. There's no way a kaiju can be real.
>> When we find it, I'll be nice enough not to say I told you so.
See how it swings tail, Jeffrey? We'll have to watch out for that.
>> This footage was taken here, and the Kai Whatever that thing is was headed in that direction. We can intercept it within a few hours.
>> And find out what's really disrupting shipping out there.
>> Did I miss anything, Ant?
>> Now, watch. It's going to stumble, then recover stronger than ever.
Classic.
>> Hm.
>> Oh, don't tell me you believe in these things, too.
>> Not really, but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy the movie.
>> And who better to enjoy it with than the world's foremost Kaijuologist?
>> Kaijuologist?
You don't have much competition given that you just made that word up.
>> Yeah, it's an understudied field.
>> Oh, Ant. How could those creatures even survive in the ocean? No gills, no fins.
>> You'll see.
See that? Something crushed one of those boulders. Of course, Kaiju are extremely strong.
>> And also not real.
>> I'm sure there's a good explanation for this.
>> Whatever it was, it had to be big.
>> Woah. Big enough to make that?
I do not have a good explanation for that.
>> Let's take a closer look.
>> Okay, but stay close.
>> Oh, wow.
You guys see this?
>> Yeah, we see it.
>> But I'm not sure I believe it.
>> Based on how far apart the prints are, this thing is pretty tall.
I don't think it's one of the insect-like Kaiju.
Could be some kind of alligator mutated by radiation.
>> That kind of mutation doesn't happen outside of comic books.
>> And Ant's imagination.
>> Something's headed straight for us.
Kids, get back to the Arachnax.
>> Ant, let's go. I'm seeing if it let the scale or something.
Did you hear that?
>> Uh-huh.
>> Ant, watch out.
Look.
Oh.
Whoa.
Ant.
>> I'm okay.
>> They're panicking. They're not stopping.
DIVE. DIVE.
>> That was close.
>> Those whales were in a hurry.
>> Something must have spooked them. I'm not sure I want to find out what.
>> Every creature fears the kaiju.
>> How could they not?
>> Easily. Because everything I've ever been taught tells me they can't exist.
>> There's the strength, the claws, the atomic fire breath.
>> Do I want to know?
>> An enormous blast of atomic energy that they shoot from their mouth.
>> [snorts] >> And that makes even less sense than everything else I've heard.
>> You underestimate kaiju at your peril.
>> I think I'll be fine.
>> With that attitude, just hope you never meet one.
>> We're coming up on something.
Ooh, what is that?
>> Wow.
>> We found it.
>> These adventures would go a lot smoother if you guys just believed me from the start.
>> I see it, but I still don't believe it.
It has no gills. How does it breathe?
>> Hang on.
>> Activating shields.
>> Woah! [screaming] >> All systems are fine.
>> I can't see it. Open the shields. Open the shields.
>> Uh-oh.
>> Atomic fire breath.
>> There's no such thing.
>> Can we take THAT RISK?
>> WOAH!
>> [screaming] >> WOAH!
WOAH!
>> YOU UNDERESTIMATED KAIJU at your peril.
>> Wherever that thing is headed, it's going to cause a lot of damage.
>> If it keeps going on this heading, it'll end up at the island of Hachijo-kojima.
That's where our friend Kenji lives. And he's all alone, save for the underwater cave of giant hermit crabs. If that thing can walk on land, he'll be helpless.
>> We have to stop it before it gets there.
I'll fix the rudder.
>> Okay. Let's go.
>> Yeah, this will take some time.
>> The creature's path will take it near the cave full of giant mutated hermit crabs. The one right by Kenji's island.
>> More giant creatures, great. As tough as those crabs are, that thing could threaten them and their whole ecosystem.
>> Maybe we could distract it? Keep it away from the crabs' cave?
>> We have to try. And you better warn Kenji while we figure out how to divert it.
>> I'm on it.
Careful, runner tail.
Amazing.
>> Let's wonder.
>> Huh!
Performing some action.
>> All right, scientifically impossible kaiju monster, keep your eyes on the road.
Come on. Follow us. Forget about THE ISLAND.
>> WOAH!
HE JUST KEEPS WALKING LIKE HE'S DRAWN TO SOMETHING.
>> KENJI!
KENJI!
KENJI!
It's Ant. Ant Nekton. Are you home?
I can do blinds.
Huh?
Why would Kenji have a photo of the Kaiju?
>> Ant, we're not having much luck turning this thing away. Did you find Kenji?
>> No. Maybe he already left.
>> We could use your expertise out here, Ant.
>> If you're out here distracting it, it's less likely to attack us.
>> I'm on my way.
>> I know you're [screaming] out there. I saw you on TV.
>> Woah!
Look out!
>> Hold tight.
>> [screaming] >> Woah!
>> IS THAT YOU, KENJI?
>> THE NEKTONS, YOUR TIMING IS EXCELLENT.
>> WHAT ARE YOU DOING 5 miles from shore, Kenji?
>> I'm waiting for the monster. It is coming. Coming to Kenji.
>> Why would it come here?
>> It is destiny.
I created it.
>> What?
Huh?
Woah!
>> Woah!
>> Okay, that should hold together.
So, you combine the DNA of a crocodile with what? A T-Rex?
>> What?
>> To create the Kaiju.
>> How did you make it so giant?
>> How did they It's an auto real monster. It's a machine.
>> What?
A machine?
>> How did you make it and why?
>> I was a prop builder. I built a monster for a film.
A monster that I put my heart and soul into.
>> What film?
>> Return of the Atomic Monsters.
>> Huh?
Return? Attack of the Atomic Monsters is my fourth favorite Kaiju movie. Huh!
How did I not know there was a sequel?
>> The film was never made. But they like the ending.
>> Why? How did it end?
>> Yeah, with the monster attacking a cave full of fish bats.
>> Fish bats?
>> Fish bats.
>> Well, I don't get it.
>> Nobody did. So, my monster was shut down and put into storage.
>> So, who reactivated it?
>> I have no clue.
>> Wait, so it's come here for a reason?
>> It is pre-programmed to attack an underwater cave.
>> The crabs' cave.
>> Well, at least the crabs will be safe if they stay inside it.
>> That would be true, except that the cave is also a prop.
>> A prop?
>> Yes, but just the cement and wire. One stomp from my Kaiju and the cave will collapse.
>> You know that machine better than anyone. If we get close, do you think you can stop it?
>> I can try.
>> Let's hurry. We have to protect the crabs and their home.
If that monster >> machine >> that machine threatens their home, the crabs will fight it.
>> They are kind of tough.
>> Well, against that machine, be crushed.
We can't let that happen.
>> He's bigger and better than I remember.
>> Atomic Firebrand, watch out!
OH, NO! KENJI!
>> [screaming] >> HUH?
WHY WOULD I BUILD MY machine to SHOOT ACTUAL FIRE? ATOMIC OR OTHERWISE.
>> SO, it's just a beam of light? I guess this thing isn't as scary as I thought.
>> [screaming] >> I suggest we may need the help.
>> Help is here.
>> Mom, I know how we can stop this thing. I'm lowering a cable.
>> Got it. Now what?
>> We simply tie it up and stop it in its tracks.
>> I do not think this will work.
>> You might not, but I am very confident.
That's kind of my thing.
>> Okay, get all of the crabs out of there, now.
>> Last time we went in there, one of the crabs turned the rover into its very own suit of armor.
>> The new rover is a lot stronger. It'll be fine.
I think.
>> It looks good.
Kaiju's all tied up, Mom.
Now, you're not going anywhere.
What?
No way.
Stop!
>> [snorts] >> Mom, are you okay?
>> My ego's a little bruised. Are you okay?
>> Yeah, but Kenji Foster's still moving.
>> It's following its programming. After all these years, it still works perfectly.
>> A little too perfectly.
Go on.
Get out of here, crabs.
>> The high beams seem to be working.
>> Those crabs are strong, but I don't like their chances.
>> Ant, what's the plan here?
>> A tripwire. The bigger they are, the harder they fall. And this thing is huge.
>> Harder they fall?
>> That's it. Keep moving, crabs.
>> Hurry, Ant. This is our last chance to stop it.
>> My heart and soul went into that kaiju.
Hello. No.
Stop.
>> Kenji, what are you doing? I can't see.
>> [screaming] >> We're almost IN THE CLEAR.
>> AH! [screaming] WHOA!
FONTAINE, WILL.
OH, NO!
WHOA!
ANT, catch me.
>> [screaming] >> No!
Huh?
Oh, what do you know? We weren't crushed.
>> [laughter] >> Ah.
Whoa!
>> [screaming] >> Hold on. I'm coming.
We could have stopped it, Kenji. What were you doing?
>> I >> [clears throat] >> I cannot let you hurt my kaiju.
>> What?
>> Come on.
Come on.
>> Ah!
Not good. Not >> When I knew my kaiju would never be seen, I quit the movies. Now, to see it in action. Finally, fulfilling its potential. I cannot bear to see it hurt.
>> Hurt? It's a machine.
Grab your mask. It's going to break.
Uh-oh.
I know that sound.
Huh?
Crabs are going towards it?
Kenji, look at what's happening. Crabs and people are more important than machines. It goes living things, then machines, in that order.
I I think maybe you are right. I'm sorry.
>> Uh Dad, any suggestions?
>> I could use the teleporter.
>> Teleporter?
>> Uh I'm kidding.
>> Huh?
Need a little help?
Mom.
>> Keiko.
>> We need to go.
Hang on. I'll get you out of here.
Mom, look out!
>> Huh?
It's the GIANT CYBORG CRAB.
KEIKO, ARE YOU OKAY?
>> I'M NOT SURE. It knocked out my controls. I'm rebooting now.
We were just in its way. It's got bigger kaiju to fry.
We wouldn't need to damage your creation if we knew what controlled it.
>> Well, originally, I used a remote control.
>> Do you still have it?
>> I reused parts of it to make one for my new bamboo curtains.
Oh, oh, no.
>> What?
>> It was me. I reactivated the monster.
>> Mom, Kenji has a remote. We might be able to turn off the kaiju.
>> Oh, fantastic.
>> Oh, man. The giant crab that took our remote for its home is going to take on the kaiju.
>> That was a bit of a much better ending for our movie.
>> And, the remote?
>> I can't believe we have to miss this.
Come on.
>> I did not expect to [music] see this today.
>> Oh, it has to be here somewhere.
>> Where did you see it last?
>> Woah. Go, giant cyborg crab.
Dad, we do have a plan, right?
>> Keiko, can you help us?
>> Almost there.
>> Why do I always find the remote after I lose it?
>> Wait. Where all remote controls end up.
>> I got you.
>> Did it work? Has it stopped?
>> It hasn't stopped, Aunt.
>> Try that one.
>> No.
>> That one. And and that >> No.
>> That one.
>> Huh?
>> Huh?
>> Uh >> [laughter] [screaming] >> Oh, no, they're screaming, Kenji. Oh, we failed.
>> [laughter] >> It's okay, aunt. We're completely not squished.
>> Oh, right. I knew that.
Crabs are heading home. They know they're out of danger.
Mhm?
What is a fish-bat anyway? A fish with bat wings? A bat with gills?
>> You know, I still do not know.
>> We should count ourselves lucky that you never got around to building one.
>> And that your recklessness didn't get anyone hurt.
>> Uh, I am ashamed to have caused so much trouble.
>> [music] >> Speaking as someone who causes a lot of trouble, the key is to learn from it.
Will you be okay, Kenji?
>> Thank you. I will be fine. I have been reunited with an old friend.
>> You know, I might write a movie about this one day.
>> Nothing here.
>> Nothing here, either.
>> Are we agreed?
>> Yes.
There's nothing here.
>> Unless the scepter's invisible.
Which would be pretty cool.
>> I was so sure. I remember the tower of the morning where my sister and I came to play.
>> Uh, that's your sister, the queen?
>> 6,000 years ago?
>> Precisely.
It felt like we were floating over everything up here.
Being here now feels just like yesterday.
Though it wasn't underwater then, and there wasn't poisonous algae over every little thing.
>> He was totally wrong about the scepter.
So, I'm having trouble believing he's suddenly 6,000 years old.
>> That's because it's not believable.
>> But where is the scepter? Floating?
Nothing floats in Lemuria.
>> True.
Even the fish have turned to stone.
>> Was the Kraken always this cranky?
>> Oh, yes. And we've clearly made him crankier.
He doesn't like visitors. But somewhere here, the power of the scepter is keeping it at bay.
>> Mom, Dad, I wish you could have seen [music] this.
>> Hey, Dad, if we find the queen's scepter, doesn't it rightfully belong to Nereus now?
>> It It's really not important who owns it.
>> But if Nereus really is 6,000 years old, and the queen's brother, doesn't that change things?
>> No. Only the chosen one can use it.
>> Well, can we choose someone else then?
>> We can't. That someone is the only person who could assemble the Ephebocrat.
Remind me again, who was that?
>> Well, maybe I just got lucky.
>> And who made it work when none of us could?
>> Okay.
That was me.
>> And who opened the gates of Lemuria?
Mhm. Pretty compelling evidence, I'd say.
>> I have an idea.
I'm thinking this could be the floating place.
>> You know, that's very possible.
>> See, it's almost like it's floating.
But I'm wondering, why is the queen holding a musical instrument?
>> Are you sure that's what it is? An instrument?
>> Dorius was musical, and music runs in our family.
>> This is like a Lemurian version of an African mbira. You know, a thumb piano?
>> Hey, who dropped that?
>> Maybe it's tiny metal keys, but it's on a much larger scale, too.
It's almost as if Woah.
Wow.
>> The Kraken senses the scepter.
>> Great. Maybe you could point it out for us, cuz there's nothing here. Look.
Those symbols. Can anyone read them?
>> Um Uh from memory, they're the Lemurian symbols for C, D, and F.
>> C, D, F.
Strange word.
>> It's not a word. They're musical notes.
Maybe if I play them in order.
Uh-oh.
Woah.
>> What?
>> What's that?
>> Woah.
>> Wow.
>> Huh.
Anyone looking for the scepter of Queen Dorius of Lemuria? [music] Ta-da!
>> And I fear the Kraken knows we found it.
I was very young when my sister wielded this.
I've never seen it up close before. It's beautiful.
But it's yours now, Antaeus.
>> If you say so.
>> Krakens!
>> We're here, Professor.
>> Oh, bad news. Satellites are detecting a large electrical storm forming in your area.
>> Oh, no.
>> Oh, yes. I'm afraid the electric ray Monumental is waking up again.
>> Then we're running out of time.
>> I think you should take this.
>> I cannot. The prophecy tells us the chosen one is the youngest descendant.
>> Youngest is not a legitimate job qualification.
>> Nonetheless, being 6,000 years old clearly rules me out. Antaeus, you are the only one who can return the Monumentals to their slumber.
Even that one.
>> I can't do it.
Here.
What?
Drop!
The scepter's stuck.
>> The scepter knows where it belongs, Antaeus.
And deep down, so do you. The scepter was created by Hester, master artisan of Lemuria.
>> Any designer to stick to hands?
>> Only the correct hands. He imbued the scepter with the power to control the Monumentals. This is a gift, Antaeus.
>> Uh, no. Gifts can be returned or exchanged for things I actually want.
I know a curse when it's magically stuck to my hand.
>> What is that?
>> Ink from the Kraken. It's scared.
>> Scared of what?
>> Scared of you, Antaeus. Scared of the power of the scepter. It's trying to camouflage itself and hide.
>> Where could it possibly go? It kind of stands out in a crowd.
Oh, no. That's from the pingers I left [music] at the gates. There are tiny, almost immeasurable movements, but they confirm the gates are slowly opening.
>> Impossible. Only the Ephemeron can open the gates.
>> But, if the Kraken is trying to escape, it's been pushing on them all this time.
>> I'm sorry, Ant. It's time we did something about this.
>> And by we, he means you.
>> We can't allow the Kraken to escape into the world.
>> We believe in you, Ant. With the scepter, you can stop it. And we're with you all the way.
So, saving the world.
No pressure.
Releasing more pingers.
Here we go.
>> Keep your eyes peeled.
Anybody see anything?
>> Not yet.
>> Yeah, look out!
>> Get back to your stations.
>> Tahu!
>> Hold tight.
Does this thing even have an on switch?
How does it work?
I don't get this. What am I supposed to do?
>> You'll know when it matters.
>> Well, it kind of matters now, and I have no idea.
There aren't enough fingers here to see everything.
But hopefully the Kraken can't see us, either.
>> Maybe, but the Iron Axe can't take much more of this.
>> Any ideas gratefully accepted. Jeffrey?
Of course. That's it. Oh, thanks, Jeffrey.
>> Huh?
>> Water!
Other Lemurian objects we found have needed a connection to water.
>> Yes.
The sea is the key.
>> Huh?
>> Look!
>> See?
It's a phrase.
>> Yes.
>> It's working.
>> Looking good so far, but how do I put it to sleep?
Anyone?
Don't all answer at once.
>> Sorry, Ant. We've got no idea.
>> Getting images [music] from the pingers at the gate. They're still opening slowly.
>> So, the Kraken is forcing them?
>> Or is it something else? We [music] need to find out. Everyone, hold on. WE'RE GOING THROUGH.
>> [music] >> THE ELECTRIC RAY!
I don't think it's trying to hit us.
>> Still, we don't want to be between two fired up elementals.
Arcturus, you were right. The electric ray is attacking the gates.
>> The ray and the Kraken are working together?
>> That's what it looks like.
>> [music] >> The electricity's opening the gates.
>> I'm afraid so.
>> We thought the Apemond was the only thing that could open them. We were wrong.
>> If it opens any more, the Kraken will be free.
>> I'm too late.
>> No, you can do it, Ant.
>> You're just saying that.
>> I'm only admitting this because the world's in peril, but I believe in you.
>> Before, when you played those notes, how did you know that would work?
>> Ant, I'm musical. All my life I've played music. That's how I knew. I didn't have to think. I just did it.
>> Your time has come, Antaeus.
>> Sorry, Jeffrey, but I've got a job to do.
I can do this.
>> Hey, Cole.
>> [music] >> Give it all you've got, Anacondrai.
Come on.
Come on.
>> [screaming] >> What just happened?
>> It's still coming.
>> Its wings aren't moving.
>> Can it be asleep?
>> The prophecy is true. The scepter works.
The monumentals will sleep once more.
Ant, clearly there is a price to pay for wielding the scepter. Nothing a long nap can't fix.
No, it's got us.
I can't break free.
The Hulk can't take much more of this.
That's not the worst thing.
Oh, that can't be good.
Nereus, do you know how to fix a broken scepter?
Unfortunately, no.
>> [screaming] >> Here.
You want to fix a 6,000-year-old magical object with duct tape? You have a better idea?
Nope, it's brilliant. Quick.
Look, it's pulling us in.
I think it's trying to eat us.
Ow.
It's now or never, Ant. But how?
The scepter's broken. Ant, I've seen you do things I never could.
Come on.
Surprise yourself.
You can stop it.
>> I didn't do that. The scepter is doing it.
>> As I said, the scepter knows where it belongs.
>> Wow.
>> It's up to you, Ant.
>> You can do it.
>> You're You're scared.
I'm not.
Well, maybe a little.
>> Keep going.
>> You've got this.
>> My pinky's working.
>> It sure is.
>> I don't believe it.
>> [music] >> Yes!
>> Yes!
>> Did I Did I do it?
>> It's a sweep, Ant. You did it!
>> You saved your family, and perhaps the world. You are a worthy holder of the scepter, Antaeus.
>> That was incredible.
>> You were amazing, son.
>> I don't feel so amazing.
>> Welcome back.
>> I just had the weirdest dream.
I was battling the Kraken with >> With this?
>> Yeah, it wasn't a dream.
>> You deserve a rest, Aunt. Chill out all day if you want to.
>> Wow, I've been waiting my whole life to hear those words.
>> Oh, I just remembered. Aunt, here's the communicator you dropped yesterday.
>> Fontaine already gave back to me.
I have mine.
>> Me, too.
>> Then, who No, [snorts] it's not possible.
>> Will, what is it?
>> This communicator, it's one of ours, but an older model.
Only two other people had these.
My parents.
>> But, that's impossible.
Unless, our grandparents were here before us.
>> Ah.
It begins.
>> [music] >> Okay, just keep the volume down. This is the last speaker set we've got.
Oh.
Incredible.
The Bloop.
>> What's the Bloop?
>> It's one of the most mysterious mysteries ever. How do you not know the Bloop?
>> Huh, I don't get out a lot.
>> In 1997, there was a sound underwater.
It baffled everyone who heard it. They called it the Bloop.
>> The Bloop was heard and recorded all over the Pacific Ocean. Then, suddenly >> it vanished.
>> I found the one from 1997 online.
Listen.
>> They're virtually the same.
>> [laughter and gasps] >> It's a GSM. Let me guess, giant sea monster?
>> What else?
>> Ant, most scientists believe the original bloop was the sound of icebergs cracking.
>> Those scientists never proved anything and lack my overactive imagination.
>> And given we're off Papua New Guinea, there's a noticeable lack of icebergs and this bloop is less than 20 km away.
>> I wonder if it's connected to that.
These marks are fresh.
>> Proceed with caution, Ant. We don't know what's out there.
>> Oh, I so do.
A conch shell.
Clearly a giant sea monster dragged its equally giant prey from there to its fearful lair. That way.
>> I hate to burst your bubble, Ant, but these marks are way too precise and even to be drag marks. It looks more like >> That's no bloop.
>> It's a deep sea mining machine.
>> It's going to EAT THE ROVER!
ANT, IT'S STILL AWAY. DON'T DO IT!
>> NO!
>> ANT!
Get out of there, Ant!
>> You're cutting it too close!
>> HUH?
UH!
UH!
>> [screaming] >> COME ON, COME ON, COME ON.
HUH.
WOAH.
>> ANT, back to the Aronax, now.
>> Uh, uh-huh.
>> And I should, in the future, remember that I'm far harder to replace than the Rover.
Oh, and the listen to instructions thing.
Never, ever risk your life like that again.
>> That mining machine is just eating everything. We've got to stop it.
>> We're trying. Your father's talking to the World Oceans Authority right now.
>> And there's nothing they can do. This area is not a marine reserve.
>> But there's a bloop out there.
>> Did it just hear you?
>> The tone changed. It's not just one sound.
>> Come on out, GSM, wherever you are.
>> It's not going to come when it's called, Aunt. It's a sea monster, not a dog.
>> Ha! So, you admit it's a sea monster.
>> That last transmission came from within 1 km.
>> Nectons, my name's Bruce Halper from Deep Sea Mining. We need you to clear this area. We're extracting rare earth minerals.
>> And you need to stop. We have reason to believe there's something quite unique in the area.
>> We heard a bloop.
>> A bloop? You mean that iceberg sound from decades ago?
>> No one knows what made the sound.
>> And there are no icebergs in the area.
>> It may be coming from a living creature.
We need you to stop your machine until we can locate the source.
>> I'm not shutting down this entire operation for a hypothetical creature.
If you can give me evidence, instead of theories, I'll think about it.
>> He'll think about it?
>> Everyone spread out and try to cover as much ground as you can. We need to find the source of the bloop.
>> Stellar, Jeffrey. We're looking for giant sea monster.
What is it?
The bloop. Professor Fiction, did you hear that?
>> Loud and clear. And I can triangulate the location.
Turn to the left and head up that rise.
Track marks. That machine went by here before.
There's a coral bit down there, but no giant sea monsters. Uh Professor, are you sure this is the right place?
>> I'm sure. Keep looking, Ant.
>> So far, nothing giant or even sea monsterish.
Woah!
I found it. It must be under No, not under.
The poop is coming from the coral.
>> This is beyond words.
>> It may be a whole new life form. I'm going to call it Anthozoa Cantus. Get it? Anthozoa is already the word for coral, and cantus is a vocal ensemble.
>> Does every new species we discover have to be named after you?
>> Don't be ridiculous.
Only the really interesting ones.
>> Well, this certainly is interesting, but where's the sound coming from?
>> We need to take a closer look.
>> How? None of us could fit more than a hand in there.
>> One of us can fit.
>> Ant, your head is huge. You can't fit.
>> My head is a perfectly acceptable size, but I'm not talking about me.
Let's get back to the Aronnax and set up the fish cam.
>> I'd suggest you hurry back, Ant.
>> Why? What's wrong?
>> The machine is making another track.
>> And the next pass is directly in line with the organism.
>> This is it, Jeffrey. Your time to be a hero.
>> I got your message. You want me to stop operations because of coral.
>> Communicating coral. Anthozoanthid.
Though nobody likes that name yet. It's a scientific miracle.
>> Coral, it talks.
>> It's definitely making sound.
>> Sound is not communication. Do you have any proof that it's aware?
>> I may have an idea.
>> We'll get you proof. But please, the coral is in the direct path of your machine. You have to stop it.
>> The cost of this operation is astronomical. I can't shut down because maybe coral is making noises. You get me cold, hard proof.
>> We don't have much time. Ant, take Jeffrey and the fish camp out there and find out how it's making that noise.
>> This is your idea? Starting a band?
The bloop varies in pitch, volume, and tone. What does that seem like?
Music. I'm going to play my own version of the bloop through the Aronnax's external speakers. If the coral responds, >> then it's trying to communicate.
>> And that proves it's sentient. Let's hope it likes my music.
>> Yeah.
>> I mean, statistically, someone has to, right?
>> [music] >> Maybe a different key?
>> Go in. In. Explore everywhere.
>> Getting in the zone.
>> Psych yourself up.
>> Getting in the zone.
>> Ant, is Jeffrey in place?
>> Uh, he's getting in the zone.
>> We don't have time. The machine is already coming toward us and will eventually lead to the coral.
>> Let's slow it down.
>> What? How?
>> Come on, Jeffrey. I have faith in you.
Yes, that a boy.
Ready?
>> Let's do this.
>> It's working. Keep it up. WE'RE SLOWING IT DOWN.
>> LOOK OUT.
WHAT'S HAPPENING? OUR MACHINE'S READINGS just went haywire.
>> Your machine ate something it shouldn't.
But we're close. Just give us more time.
And, do you have it?
>> Jeffrey's inside, but the coral isn't singing. We have to make it sing.
See, the sound is coming from there.
Somehow, it forces the water through tiny tubes.
>> And different size tubes [music] make different notes, like a flute.
>> [music] >> You're talking. You're really talking.
You did it, Fontaine. Something actually appreciates your musical ability.
>> What is that?
>> That's the proof you [music] were after.
Turn off your machine.
>> What?
>> Let's not forget what we call coral is millions of organisms operating as a single colony.
>> Millions of organisms making music together.
>> Incredible.
>> Uh-huh. Never seen anything like it.
>> And you won't see it again unless you turn off your machine.
>> I uh yeah yeah yes, of course.
>> Power it down now.
>> WHAT?
HOW?
>> WHAT'S HAPPENING?
>> MY engineers are saying there was some sort of explosion inside the machine.
>> The rover arm.
>> We've lost remote control.
We can't power the machine down. WE CAN'T STOP IT.
>> I can't hold this much longer.
Tell me you found a way to change its course, Professor.
>> I don't think we can change its course.
We have to turn it off.
>> How?
>> An EMP.
>> What?
>> An electromagnetic pulse. A burst of energy that nullifies any electrical device.
>> Where are we going to get an EMP?
>> Oh, I always have one on me.
>> Uh why?
>> I'm an inventor. I created my first EMP right after I accidentally created my first rebellious toaster.
>> If the EMP is our only option, then we have to take it.
>> Do it. We'll deal with the consequences at this end.
>> Okay, Ant. The EMP will need to go in the front panel.
>> So, just above the giant spinning blades of death?
>> Yes. Um try to avoid those.
>> It's on.
>> Okay. I can activate the EMP remotely, but get well clear of it or it'll knock out your communications.
>> Hey, I'm losing it.
What the God!
Do it now, Fiction.
>> I just have to figure out how much power to give the EMP.
>> Give it everything.
>> Okay. I'll take it all the way to 11.
>> It goes to 11? Why not 10?
>> Huh, I've never been great with numbers.
>> Uh that's reassuring.
>> Firing in 3 2 5 >> Fiction!
>> 1 >> Oh, there's something I forgot to mention.
>> Yes, Professor, it worked!
Oh, it worked on Mom and Dad, too.
>> Yes, that's the bit I forgot.
>> Mom's okay. Checking on Dad.
So, I guess we did it.
No!
>> Impossible!
>> What's happening?
>> I don't know.
>> The backup power.
>> What backup power?
>> It was a last-minute addition.
>> And you didn't think to mention this earlier?
>> I'm the project manager, not an engineer.
>> So, all we've succeeded in doing is knocking out Mom and Dad?
>> Where is this backup power?
>> It's in the very center of the machine.
I'm sending you the latest schematics.
>> There. We have to get inside the machine and uncouple it manually.
>> And it's impenetrable.
>> So, what? That's it? We sit back and let the machine destroy this creature?
>> Can you hear that?
>> What do we do?
>> I'm coming, Aunt. I'll bring power packs for the rover and the drone knight. We will get back in this fight.
>> The machine is unstoppable!
>> So are we. Use that giant brain of yours, Professor. There has to be something.
>> There is something. Something missing.
There are no schematics for the bottom of the mining machine.
Aunt, I have a mission for your fish.
There might be a way to override the backup power from underneath the machine. I need Jeffrey to find out.
>> Jeffrey, you're a hero and you're needed once again. Go under. Get it? Under.
Ant, is it working?
>> Uh, he's getting in the zone.
>> Where'd he go?
>> He's under the machine. I'm getting pictures.
>> Yes.
Uh, there. There's an opening, but it's small.
>> Well, I'm small. Don't you think I'd fit?
>> Maybe.
>> It's 2/3 of the way from the front.
>> You sure about this, Ant?
>> Absolutely. I'm the only one who will fit. And if I don't do this, the reef will be destroyed.
>> I'll get Mom and Dad back in the game.
We'll do everything we can to buy you time.
>> [music] >> What's happening?
>> The machine is about to hit the coral.
Ant is inside it. He's trying to uncouple the backup power.
>> What?
>> Come on, we have to help him. Hold the machine back.
>> Fiction, which way?
>> Turn right. You're looking for a hatch.
>> It's a dead end.
>> Your other right.
>> Right. I knew that.
>> Quickly.
>> That sound.
>> I think the reef just sent out a warning. It knows the machine will crush it.
>> Saving the ecosystem.
>> I've got the panel off.
>> Great. Now, just reach in and disconnect the power coupling.
>> I can't reach it. I can't fit inside.
Oh, Fortean was right. My head is too big.
>> You tried, Ant. Get out of there.
>> No.
My head will fit.
>> Just not with the rebreather mask.
>> Ant, do not take off your mask. Remember what I said about listening to instructions.
>> Yes. But, I also remember what you said about some things being irreplaceable.
>> Ant!
>> Huh?
>> He did it. He cut the power TO THE MACHINE.
>> ANT, DO YOU READ?
>> YES.
>> [groaning] >> FORTEAN, can you fit UNDER THE MACHINE?
>> NOT IN MY NIGHT.
>> JEFFREY, where's Ant?
>> Ant?
>> Ant!
>> Oh, hey guys.
>> Ant!
>> How did you get out?
>> There a hatch on the other side.
>> [laughter] >> And your head may be abnormally large, but you use it well.
In a week we'll have a marine reserve in place here, totally protected.
>> Don't worry, we'll be moving into another mining town.
>> You don't sound too unhappy, [music] Mr. Alba.
>> Well, I'm now the man whose machine didn't swallow one of the rarest life forms on Earth. So, uh yeah, I'm happy about that.
>> I expect you'll do a far more thorough [music] investigation of your next site.
>> Because if anything else is threatened by your mining, we will be there.
>> Oh, I wouldn't have it any other way.
>> I think the reef wants to say thank you.
>> [music] >> Is that a happy boop?
>> From a purely scientific perspective, I'd say that is a very happy boop.
>> I don't care what [music] it was. How many people get to do what with a coral reef? Give it a try.
Hey, it replied!
We can form a band.
>> No, no you couldn't.
