00:00We can't fly through this, we're going to have to land, Dad.
00:10Have you seen the sea?
00:12We can't land.
00:13Look, Jess, I've got this, just secure the pod.
00:14We probably needed that engine, right?
00:15Come back and buckle up.
00:16Mayday!
00:17Mayday!
00:18My family are explorers.
00:36We have been for generations.
00:37While others look up to the stars, we know there are an infinite number of things that
00:42shine in the darkness below.
00:44There are things lurking in the seas that long ago vanished into myth.
00:48My family are explorers, and we explore... the deep.
01:06Ant has a problem with green.
01:08No way!
01:09Green is my third favorite color, but slime on the other hand...
01:12Come on, Ant, try it.
01:14This kelp has iodine, calcium, and the potential to feed millions of people cheaply.
01:19Only if those millions of people don't have taste buds!
01:27Oh, it's not that bad.
01:29Will, we're receiving a Mayday call.
01:32Yeah.
01:33Quick, Jess!
01:34It's going down!
01:35So?
01:36We swim for it?
01:37What?
01:38The Nekton sure know how to make an entrance.
02:05Bob Gorman.
02:06It's been too long.
02:07How's business?
02:08Ha ha.
02:09Still saving the world, one habitat at a time.
02:11You're lucky we were nearby.
02:13Luck had nothing to do with it.
02:15We were coming to see you.
02:16Will, we found a female Floriana Island tortoise.
02:20Impossible!
02:21There's only one Floriana Island tortoise left in the world!
02:24So we thought too, Ant.
02:26But this one was in a zoo in Ghana, wrongly labeled for 15 years.
02:30Dad!
02:31Lonesome Jim will have a friend!
02:33Check her out.
02:34We've named her Eve.
02:36We must build this pod to transport her safely.
02:41You need a tissue for that drooling problem, Ant?
02:45Fontaine!
02:48Ooh, Jess, you look great!
02:53Meet the amazing Eve!
02:55Here, let me help you with that.
02:57Ant, it really doesn't need...
03:00Ah!
03:06Thanks.
03:07I'm usually very agile.
03:09Like a cat.
03:11Cats land on their feet.
03:14Uh...
03:16I got nothing.
03:24Wow, look at her.
03:25She's beautiful.
03:30And I have reports from three different vets here, Will.
03:33Eve's healthy.
03:34Wow.
03:35You really built this pod?
03:37It's amazing.
03:40Whoa!
03:43Oh, that's Jeffrey.
03:44He didn't mean it.
03:46Really?
03:47Jeffrey, Jess Gorman is our guest.
03:49Now say hi properly.
03:51He takes time to warm to strangers.
03:53Maybe if he sees us close together for prolonged periods...
03:56Forget it, Ant.
03:57But I was going to show Jess the laboratory.
03:59I'll let her down gently.
04:01We were talking about... stuff.
04:04You have Jeffrey for that.
04:09We should get Eve and Lonesome Jim together.
04:11We can be in the Galapagos Islands before sunset.
04:14You sure you're okay with us seeing Jim's secret location?
04:17I think his secret is safe with you.
04:19After all, you may have just saved his entire species.
04:23Jim's nearby.
04:24After all, you may have just saved his entire species.
04:49Jim's nearby.
04:54Beep!
05:01Brr!
05:02You think Jim will be happy?
05:03I'm not sure.
05:04You think he'll like Eve?
05:05Really not sure.
05:07You think she's cute?
05:08I think she's cute.
05:09But what makes one tortoise cute to another tortoise?
05:12I'll assume you're not sure.
05:14Good assumption.
05:15Shh!
05:16Look!
05:17There's Jim!
05:24Brr!
05:33Ha! Ha!
05:34Maybe we should give them some time to get to know each other.
05:37Alone?
05:39What?
05:40Oh, Jim!
05:41And, uh...
05:42Right!
05:47So, I replaced the voltage regulator and fixed the cracked float.
05:51I also got rid of that annoying squeak in the pilot's seat.
05:54Appreciate that, Keiko.
05:58All right, hold still.
06:00Don't move.
06:02Are you sure you can't stay for dinner?
06:05I mean, we have kelp.
06:06I love kelp.
06:08Yeah, me too.
06:09I'm all about the kelp.
06:10Can't get enough of it.
06:12Unfortunately, we have...
06:14We have an appointment to keep.
06:16Jess!
06:17Best keep moving.
06:19See you, Fawn.
06:20Bye, Jess.
06:21I can email you, right?
06:23Anytime, Ant.
06:28We'll keep you updated.
06:29Maybe years from now, we'll look back and say,
06:32today's the day we managed to save the Floriana Island tortoise.
06:38Say goodbye to Jeffrey for me!
06:48Bye, Jess.
06:51Bye.
06:59Jim?
07:00Jim!
07:01Where are you?
07:04No signal.
07:06Strange.
07:06Over here!
07:08Two sets of tortoise tracks,
07:09heading out towards the open sea.
07:11But Jim wouldn't go swimming.
07:13He's fundamentally lazy.
07:14Come on.
07:15Picking up a faint trace signal, but it's weak.
07:19Accessing satellite relays.
07:21I don't know how,
07:22but the signal is 850 kilometers away.
07:26There's no way Jim can move that fast.
07:28Not by himself.
07:29Someone's taking him.
07:32Chart a course for that signal.
07:34Let's go find Jim.
07:46A much stronger signal now.
07:48Coming from a depth of 70 meters.
07:51What's that?
07:58Maybe...
07:59a school of bioluminescent fish?
08:01Think bigger.
08:04A really big school?
08:16Greetings.
08:17My name is Sebastian Conger.
08:20Thank you for visiting my humble abode.
08:24I don't get many visitors.
08:26Mr. Conger, we're looking for two Floriana tortoises.
08:29Do you know-
08:30Please allow me to invite the entire Nekton family to dinner.
08:35The entrance is directly ahead.
08:39That was strange.
08:39I'll say.
08:43Jim is in the water.
08:44Jim is in there, right?
08:46It looks like it.
08:47Only one way to find out for sure.
08:49We're accepting Mr. Conger's dinner invitation,
08:52but you two stay here.
08:53What? Why?
08:54I want to find Jim.
08:55We need you to stay and see what you can learn about our host.
08:59You'll know what's going on the whole time.
09:03They're trying to protect us.
09:05Only required if that Conger guy's serving kelp.
09:09Funny, the last thing I expected was that we'd be eating out tonight.
09:12Yeah, me too.
09:20Whoa, high-tech creepy.
09:22Yeah, no kidding.
09:32Welcome!
09:33Will there only be the two of you?
09:35Welcome!
09:36Will there only be the two of you joining us?
09:39The children send their apologies, Mr. Conger.
09:42They have research projects to attend to.
09:45Yes, of course.
09:47As cover stories go, that's about a four out of ten.
09:50Follow me, please.
09:53So, Mr. Conger is a very wealthy businessman.
09:56Makes donations to several zoos.
09:59A conservationist, maybe?
10:05Look, there's Jim!
10:07Why have you taken him?
10:09Observe, he's getting the best attention money can buy.
10:13Not what I asked.
10:14Galapagos Island tortoises are protected.
10:17By taking these animals, however you did it,
10:19you're in breach of international law.
10:21We're outside any territorial waters.
10:24The law doesn't apply here.
10:26This guy's slimier than Dad's kelp.
10:28Jim looks okay,
10:30but there's no way he's gonna survive outside his normal habitat for long.
10:33You steal two tortoises?
10:35That's theft. Pure and simple.
10:37Only one tortoise.
10:40The other will...
10:50Eve is animatronic.
10:52Those vet reports were fakes.
10:54I don't think there's a future in this relationship, do you?
10:57A simple homing device.
11:00Eve followed this, and Jim followed her synthesized pheromones.
11:04Easy.
11:05I... He... That's...
11:08Well said.
11:09Were Bob and Jess Gorman in on this?
11:11There's no way.
11:12I'm impressed by Jim's perfectly formed carapace.
11:16The skin is unmarked. Pristine.
11:20Keiko, it's time to go.
11:23No.
11:24You won't be leaving quite yet.
11:30Did he just do the trapdoor thing?
11:33Nobody does that in real life.
11:34Nobody in their right mind.
11:36You okay?
11:37I will be when I get my hands on him.
11:40Two Nectons.
11:42Perfect condition.
11:45Why is poaching rare animals so complicated?
11:48Bring me the kids.
12:00Incoming.
12:01We need tactics, or a plan.
12:03Preferably both.
12:05Congress said we were outside international law.
12:09That means rules against hitching rides don't apply.
12:30TOUGHENED GLASS
12:49Toughened glass.
12:51Probably bulletproof.
12:53I'm almost sure kicking isn't going to get us out of here.
12:56I know, but it feels good.
13:00We searched the entire vessel. It's deserted.
13:04It took you this long to tell me that?
13:06You want us to search it again?
13:08No. Get back here now.
13:17We did find this.
13:19Fools! I'm only interested in rare species. Get rid of it!
13:24Good job infiltrating the base, Jeffrey.
13:26But you need to go home now.
13:29Or don't. But we have stuff to do.
13:40But crawling through the air-conditioning duct is a very overrated tactic.
13:44It works for me.
13:45I'm just saying we should have considered me a bit more.
13:48Maybe there's a better way.
13:49It works for me.
13:50I'm just saying we should have considered me a bit more.
13:53Maybe the sewage system?
13:54There are corridors, Ant, where normal people walk.
13:59We did what you asked.
14:00It's Jess.
14:02We brought you lonesome Jim.
14:04The agreement was you take care of him. Our business is concluded.
14:07She... They both?
14:10Our business is finished when I say it's finished.
14:12The Nectons traced you back here.
14:14Now I have to make sure they don't alert the authorities.
14:17I may need further assistance from you yet.
14:20Are you insane?
14:22Kidnapping a tortoise is one thing,
14:24but if you think you can kidnap our friends,
14:26then you are seriously...
14:30Really? The trapdoor thing?
14:32Nobody does that in real life.
14:35We need to get out of here. Now!
14:37You break Jim out, and you go help Mom and Dad.
14:41Can you believe Bob and Jess Gorman were in on this?
14:44I... We owe you both an apology.
14:48At the very least.
14:50Dad didn't have a choice.
14:52Six years ago, I engaged in some petty sabotage bulldozers.
14:58Conger found out?
14:59Yes. Blackmailed me.
15:01If he went public, everything I've worked for would be over.
15:04You could have told us.
15:06I was bugged. Conger would have known.
15:14Ha!
15:22Jim, we're getting out of here.
15:26And you...
15:27Don't look at me like that. You're not even real.
15:36Not that one.
15:40Yes!
15:41Now, all we need is ninja-like stealth and speed.
15:44The coast is clear.
15:45Run, Jim!
15:51Right. You can't.
15:53You're a tortoise.
16:03Right. Pass me your comlink.
16:06There's no signal in here, Keiko.
16:09I know, but I have an idea that's better than foot pain.
16:15Nice work, Keiko.
16:16Thanks.
16:20There are escape pods through there.
16:22I'm not going anywhere. Not till we fix this mess.
16:26Fontaine, what are you doing here?
16:29Well, rescuing you guys. And to spring Jim.
16:32Will, whatever you need, we're here.
16:35We need to get back to the Aeronex and call in backup.
16:37Fontaine, come with me. We'll take the rover.
16:40I'll go with you.
16:42Fontaine, come with me. We'll take the rover.
16:44You two come with me. We'll find Ant and loan some Jim.
16:50We're talking time-critical situation here, Jim.
16:55Moving into a jog?
16:57So wishing I had a Plan B right about now.
17:01Mom, don't trust them! They lied to us!
17:03It's okay, Ant. We know.
17:05We want to help.
17:06Help? Really? You think we can all carry Jim? Very unlikely.
17:11Push Jim like a giant hockey puck? Hugely unlikely.
17:13So, just assuming we did trust you, Jess,
17:16ginormously unlikely, by the way,
17:18how can you possibly help?
17:20With this.
17:27Okay, that... might work.
17:35Aeronex requiring immediate backup.
17:37Aeronex requiring immediate backup.
17:40Go ahead, Aeronex. World Ocean Authority ready to assist.
17:43What are your coordinates?
17:48Get to the moon pool!
17:50Oh no! They're onto us!
17:55Come on, Jim! Follow Eve inside!
18:01The next animal we rescue from the clutches of evil
18:04needs to be lighter.
18:06I got this.
18:10Look out!
18:15Jess!
18:27You fools!
18:32Must I do everything?
18:40Restrain them!
18:48You think you can escape?
18:53Jess, move it!
18:55I'll get you!
19:05Proximity alert. World Ocean Authority vessels approaching.
19:10No! Stop them!
19:12Come on, let's go!
19:14Come on, Ant!
19:17Initiate escape protocol.
19:19Get me down from here!
19:26They're getting away!
19:27Shut the moon pool!
19:29We'll take them with us!
19:40We're not gonna make it.
19:41Come on! Faster!
19:44Hold on tight!
19:47Brace yourselves!
19:51Hey! Need a little help?
19:53Yes!
19:58Blast! Get us out of here!
20:04Everyone okay?
20:06Oh, we're good, we're good.
20:10World Ocean Authority?
20:12I'm afraid they escaped.
20:13No, we're maintaining a signal.
20:15We're familiar with the subject and his illegal activities.
20:18We'll continue and apprehend.
20:19Thanks for your assistance.
20:25Ant?
20:26We'll be going soon and I...
20:28We...
20:31Look,
20:32I know sorry doesn't begin to make up for anything.
20:36No.
20:37I'll miss you too, Jeffrey.
20:42Home sweet home, Jim.
20:44And this time, you won't be alone.
20:46I adapted Eve to solo power.
20:48Rochelle is photosensitive now.
20:50She'll run forever.
20:51Now you have a good time with your new friend.
20:53Here, one last present.
20:55It's kelp. Dad's been growing it.
20:57High in iodine and calcium.
20:59Oh, thank you.
21:00You're welcome, Jim.
21:02I'm sure you'll like it.
21:03I'm sure you'll like it.
21:05High in iodine and calcium.
21:09Oh, it's not that bad.
21:10In fact, he's happy to demonstrate how super tasty it is.
21:14Right, Dad?
21:15Sure, happy to.
