The Dark Orca (episode)/Transcript


 * This article is a transcript. For the episode of The Deep animated series, see The Dark Orca (episode). For the submarine, see Dark Orca.

(A seagull flies through the air and lands on the side of a salvage vessel, where a claw arm is pulling a treasure chest out of the water. Two men (presumably the Captain and 1st Mate) are cheering as they sit it upright on the deck. One man opens the chest. Both men laugh.) Captain: Haven't you seen that? We've found it! (A man (presumably the pilot) runs up to them.) Pilot: Captain! There's something under us! It's huge! (The entire ship is dwarfed by the size of the 'something'. It makes its trademark foghorn noise. The man all run to port to look. A bunch of grappling hooks fire out of the water and latch onto the ship. It starts sinking.) Captain: No, it can't be! Lifeboats! Now! (The Pilot and 1st Mate run towards the bow and lower a lifeboat into the ocean. They jump in.) Pilot: What is it? Captain: It don't exist... it can't! (Just as the boat is fully submerged, the Captain jumps into the water. He watches as the ship is pulled down by the grappling hooks. The 1st Mate pulls him back to the surface and into the lifeboat.) 1st Mate: Captain, what was that? Captain: Somethin' impossible, a myth! The Dark Orca... (The seagull flies away from the lifeboat.)

(Intro)

''Scene opens on the stationary Aronnax. In the study, Ant is reading some news to Kaiko and Will, the latter of whom is looking at the Chronicle.'' Ant: The stolen salvage vessel was searching for a Dutch trader sunk in the 17th century. Will: Mmm-hmm... Ant:  It was carrying a fortune in guilders when it was pulled into the sea by giant grappling hooks. Will: That sounds great... Ant: Huh? Kaiko: The salvage vessel was last seen orbiting the Earth being towed by Martians singing 'Jingle Bells'. Will: Yep, I'll get to it tomorrow... Kaiko: [angrily] Will! Will: Uh... what? Kaiko: I know finding the scroll was important— Will: Important? This could be the key to lost Lemuria, Kaiko. This is what my parents were searching for. Important doesn't quite cover it. (Kaiko's expression becomes less angry and more apologetic. Fontaine walks into the study with a mug in her hands.) Fontaine: I brought you another coffee, Dad. Will: Thanks Fontaine, just put it over there... Fontaine: You mean with all the other coffees you haven't drunk? (Something on the computer beeps and flashes red. Will bangs his fists on the table.) Will: Ugh! Still no match! Ant: Well, what are you trying to match? Will: This looks like an ancient map, but it doesn't match any modern topography. Ant: What do these symbols mean? Will looks over his glasses at the symbols, then pushes them up again. Will: Not sure. A location, maybe? But they're in a lost language. No one alive today could read them. Kaiko: There's one person who might be able to... Will: Dolos. Ant: Dolos? As in mysterious keeper of information Dolos? Will: Yes... Ant: I finally get to see the floating black market! I'll get Jeffrey! Fontaine: It's a floating market, Ant. As in above water. Your fish doesn't do above water. Ant: He does now! (Ant runs out of the study.) ''Jeffrey is displayed in a rectangular aquarium with a small castle in it. The aquarium is held by Ant.'' Ant: Ta-da! Will: Ant, you invented this? Kaiko: That's fantastic. (Ant lifts the invention up dramatically.) Ant: Thanks! I call it the Jorgange! Fontaine: Why? 'Ant:' Because I wanted to invent two things at once. So I invented a fish backpack and the first word to rhyme with orange! Fontaine: No, why would you want to carry a fish everywhere? Ant hugs the Jorgange. Ant: It's not about what I want, Fontaine. It's about Jeffrey. It's not fair that he's excluded just because we do things out of water. Fontaine: He's a fish. Ant: And that means a little thing like oxygen should stop him from being with us? Fontaine: That's exactly what that means. (A hatch in the side of the Aronnax opens and the Jetboat shoots out. It surfaces and the windscreen pulls forwards. Fontaine is driving, Ant is riding shotgun whilst holding the Jorgange and Will and Kaiko are in the back together.) Ant: So this is a swap. I get your turn driving the Jetboat next time, right? Fontaine: No, this counts as your turn! It's not my fault you can't drive and carry your fishpack. (Ant holds his communicator up to his mouth.) Ant: Backpack development log: remember to adapt seatbelt so I can drive Jeffrey. (Fontaine mimics Ant's action with her own communicator.) Fontaine: Fontaine's development log: remember to make fun of Ant for having a backpack development log. Kaiko: Now remember you two, we need to keep a low profile. This floating market is— Fontaine and Ant: Full of thieves and pirates; trust no one. Fontaine: Can we trust this Dolos person? Will and Kaiko: No! Will: I've only scanned the symbols for him to translate. I don't want Dolos getting any hint that the scroll exists.

(The jetboat pulls up to the black market. It is still dark, and lanterns light the jetties every ten metres or so.) Smiling Finn: 17th century dutch treasure! Only discovered a few days ago! Get your guilders here! Absolutely priceless artefacts, for a price... (All the Nektons look at him, then keep walking. Finn turns to Danny Boy. They both grin. Finn juts his chin in the direction the Nektons are going. Danny Boy walks off.)

(The Nektons are stopped by Danny Boy falling between Kaiko and Ant.) Danny Boy: Agh! Kaiko: Huh? Danny Boy: You low lives! My grandmother's worth twice that much, even with her one leg! (Danny Boy turns to Ant and eyes up the Jorgange.) Danny Boy: Ooh! What do we have here? (Ant holds the Jorgange out for display.) Ant: Uh, this? This is the Jorgange. Kaiko: [exasperated] Ant, low profile. Danny Boy: Interesting... I'll take it and the fish. How much ya want? Ant: Uh, it's a prototype, it isn't for sale yet. Also, the fish is very special. (Finn watches the exchange with interest.) Danny Boy: Ooh, how special? Ant: I'd say Jeffrey is the most important fish in the world. Danny Boy: The most important fish in the world? Give it to me! (Danny Boy snatches the Jorgange out of Ant's hands.) Ant: Hey! Will: You don't want to do that. (Will walks right behind Danny Boy and cages him in. Danny Boy turns around cockily.) Danny Boy: And who are you? Will: My name is William Nekton. (Danny Boy glances at Finn. Finn shakes his head nervously.) Danny Boy: The Nekton family? Right! you've been known to make things difficult for us... legitimate businessmen like myself. (Danny Boy gives the Jorgange back to Ant and chuckles.) Will: Walk away. Danny Boy: Happy to...happy... (Danny Boy salutes and stumbles off. Fontaine and Ant walk around and in front of Will. Will glares at Danny Boy until the children are in front of him, then follows his family.)

(Hammerhead stands behind Finn.) Hammerhead: I know what they're doing here. Now. (Finn walks off.)

(The Nektons walk up a gangway into a white boat. Finn follows them from a distance, ducking behing crates and oil drums on the jetty. He smiles when he sees where they've gone and spies on them from behind a barrel.) Fontaine: [Quietly to Ant] This Dolos guy creeps me out. (Dolos, hearing what Fontaine says, turns around and adjusts his glasses, then turns back to Will and Kaiko.) Dolos: Aw, children. All those happy years of sleepless nights and dirty diapers. Such a blessing. Will: Let's keep this short. We're only here so you can translate some symbols. (Will places a computer on the table. Dolos readjusts it, causing a screen to rise vertically and a keyboard horizontally. He starts typing.) Dolos: Oh, anything for old college friends. Ant: You went to school with my parents? (Fontaine looks anxiously at the adults. Dolos rolls his eyes and keeps typing.) Dolos: And you taught it to speak, the blessings are endless. Ant: Do you mean that sincerely? You're hard to read. You have a really strange face. Dolos: It speaks once more, I double my fee. (Dolos holds a hand sarcastically out for the money. Ant looks confused. Dolos returns to the symbols flashing on the screen.) Dolos: Hmm. No, I only recognise two of these. Maybe 10,000 years old, Mesopotamian or... no, this is something else. Where did you get these, William? Kaiko: You're getting payed, and that's all you're getting. Dolos: I think this one means 'entrance' or... no, 'gateway'. Will: And the other? Dolos: Uh, this one literally translates as 'wet fire'? Ant: Lava! That means lava! So obvious. (Dolos turns around, highly incensed. Fontaine turns to Ant, exasperated that he doesn't get the concept of keeping a low profile. Finn smiles from behind the barrel, then sneaks away. The Nektons walk back down the gangway and start heading back to the jetboat.)

Ant: So he doubled the fee. Take it out of my pocket money. Kaiko: You don't get that much pocket money. (Danny Boy walks up to the Nektons. Will puts a hand on Fontaine's shoulder and walks in front of the rest of his family.) Danny Boy: Our captain would like a word. Will: I thought we already had one. Danny Boy: This time... (Danny Boy gestures to a second level, where Finn and two other pirates are smirking. They all jump down.) Finn: ...We brought friends. Ant: What's the strategy here, Dad? Bargain? Bluff? Outthink them? Will: We run! (The Nektons all run up a jetty onto a second level. The pirates start to chase. Will and Kaiko stop at the top of the ramp.) Fontaine: What are you doing!? Kaiko: Keep going, hide. We'll draw them away. Fontaine: We're not gonna leave you! Kaiko: Yes you are, Fontaine! Will: Don't look back! (The pirates find the jetty the Nektons have run up. Danny Boy points at them.) Kaiko: Ant, if anyone follows you, feel free to do all the inventive things you usually wouldn't be allowed to do. Ant: Done! (He turns and runs, followed closely by Fontaine. The two henchmen pirates start runninng up the ramp, but Will pushes some nearby barrels down it. Both fall into the water.)

(Dolos frowns at a drawing of the 'gateway' symbol on a piece of paper. Hammerhead walks up behind him.) Hammerhead: Dolos. (Dolos startles and turns around. He backs up against the table, visibly apprehensive.) Dolos: Captain Hammerhead, my favourite pirate. Hammerhead: What do the Nektons want? Dolos: Oh, I couldn't possibly betray the confidence of my old college friends... (Dolos rubs his fingers together conspicuously. Hammerhead sighs and shows seven coins in his hand. He passes them to Dolos, who catches them and seems more at ease.) Dolos: Aha... What would you like to know?

(Finn and Danny Boy walk up a jetty, searching. Danny Boy points over a little plank of wood that acts as a gangway to a small boat. On the boat, resting on a barrel, is the Jorgange.) Danny Boy: Over there! (Both pirates look in confusion at the Jorgange.) Finn: What is that? (Danny Boy walks halfway up the plank.) Ant: It's a diversion. (Ant pushes the plank and it falls into the water. Danny Boy topples in after and grabs onto the jetty Finn is standing on. Ant laughs and raises his communicator to his mouth.) Ant: Backpack development log: Jeffery makes an excellent diversion. Fontaine: Ant, come on! (Fontaine appears on the other side of the boat and gestures to him. Ant runs to the boat and climbs over. Finn starts running.)

Hammerhead: A gateway and lava? I thought you'd be more useful than this, Dolos. You don't want to be on the list of people who have disappointed me. Dolos: Th-there's more. The Nektons were holding something back. I'm guessing this gateway leads to an ancient treasure. Hammerhead: See? Now you're being useful. (Dolos nods hurriedly.) Hammerhead: What sort of treasure? Dolos: Something of enormous value, I'm sure! However the only clue to the location is the volcanic activity. You'd have to follow the Nektons to learn more... Hammerhead: I won't have to follow them. I should have them already.

(Fontaine sits on a plank and slides into a boat. Ant follows, but slides on his feet.) Fontaine: I think we lost them. Ant: Nope. (Ant points to a jetty. Finn skids around a corner and runs towards the boat. Ant's face brightens and he rushes inside the boat.) Fontaine: Where are you going? Ant: I have an idea. (Finn runs down the jetty to where the boat is moored, but before he can jump onto it, the engine starts and not only the boat but a piece of jetty start driving away and Finn falls into the water. Fontaine smiles and shakes her head. She turns to the front, not noticing that Finn has managed to hang onto the piece of jetty. Finn starts climbing the mooring rope.) Ant: Now we need to find Mum and Dad... (Ant pokes his head out of the body of the boat right as Finn jumps onto the edge of the boat.) Finn: Stop the boat. Fontaine: Ant, kill the engines. (Ant looks far too disappointed, but he stops the boat.) Finn: The captain is waiting for you. (Ant joins Fontaine in the face off with Finn.) Finn: I don't want to do this the hard way. (Fontaine's communicator beeps and both kids look at it. A yellow icon moves towards the centre of it.) Fontaine: Then— Ant: —We'll make it easy for you. (Both kids walk to the side of the boat and sit on the edge. Finn looks confused.) Fontaine: We're leaving. (Both kids jump off the boat.) Finn: No! (Finn runs to the edge of the boat. Fontaine waves cheekily at him from the backseat of the jetboat as it speeds away. Finn smirks and shakes his head.)

(Back on the Dark Orca, Hammerhead is not happy.) Hammerhead: I'll take their treasure, and I'll take that fancy sub of theirs for my fleet!

(The Aronnax speeds through the water. Kaiko and Fontaine walk into the study.) Kaiko: We're underway. It would be good where we're underway to. Will: Do you know how many volcanic sites there are in the world? Fontaine: Would you like another coffee you won't drink? Will: And if this gateway is near volcanic activity, it could be buried by now. Ant: Didn't Dolos say those symbols were 10,000 years old? Will: Yes. Ant: Well, wasn't there an ice age around then? The sea level would've— Will: —Been much lower than today! (Will enters something into the computer. A green light flashes.) Will: A match! The location in the scroll is now underwater near the Aleutian Islands! And they're volcanic! Ant, you're a genius! Ant: Did you hear that, Fontaine? Fontaine: Fontaine's development log: find ways to deflate Ant's expanding head. Kaiko: I can have us there by morning. Will: That long? (Kaiko presses a button next to the study door and it opens. She turns around and grins at Will). Kaiko: Well, we could get there faster, but the teleporter's on the fritz. (Will smiles. The Aronnax starts moving.)

(When it reaches the Aleutian Islands, Will and Kaiko exit in the Rover. Fontaine replaces Kaiko in the pilot seat and is looking at a monitor, which is all red and yellow.) Fontaine: Rover, this is Aronnax. We don't need thermal imaging — there's volcanic activity everywhere. Will: Setting GPS co-ordinates for the gateway. Or at least, where I'm hoping some sort of gateway will be. (The Rover turns its camera on and it pops up on the big screen in front of Fontaine. Ant enters the bridge. He stares at the screen, then frowns and walks to Fontaine.) Ant: Aw! They went without me? Fontaine: Mum and Dad were never taking you out there with that much heat. Besides, you were too busy playing with your fish backpack. Ant: It's called the Jorgange, and it's not playing. (The Rover goes over a lava lake, then in between some rocks that are oozing magma.) Kaiko: Let's find this gateway and get out of here. Will: According to the GPS, we should be close. Look, what's that? (Will points and Kaiko steers the Rover over a river of lava. On the other side, set into a mountain, is the gateway. It is a series of stone arches carved with Lemurian encryptions, crooked from time and volcanic activity. On top of the foremost arch is a crescent moon. Will: Incredible. This gateway must be ten metres high. Ant: An archway that impressive has to lead to something cool! Kaiko: Taking us in to find out. (The Rover drives through the gateway, which leads to a tunnel, which opens into a cave.) Will: It's... empty. Kaiko: Will. ''(Kaiko points to the roof of the cave. Will looks up, then turns the high beams on. Kaiko tilts the Rover until it's pointing up at the roof. Spanning the entire circumference of the roof is a huge Lemurian symbol that looks a bit like a maze.) Will: Kids, are you seeing this? (Will takes a picture of the symbol. Ant stares at it, mouth open, eyes wide.) Will: Ant? (Fontaine waves her hand in front of Ant's face. He doesn't react.)'' Fontaine: I think he's speechless. Ooh, ooh! I'll get a photo so you can see what Ant looks like when he's not talking. It may never happen again.

(Fontaine gets out of the pilot seat. Just as she turns away, she sees something on the monitor and frowns. Ant unfreezes and walks over.) Ant: What's wrong? Fontaine: I don't know. I thought I saw something on the external cameras. Ant: What sort of something? There's nothing on the radar or sonar. Kaiko: Kids, is everything okay? Ant: Fontaine's seeing things that aren't there. I'm not a doctor but it sounds like she might need a whole new head. ''Fontaine is still looking at the cameras. Something moves in the bottom left of the screen.'' Fontaine: There's something under us! Something huge! (Fontaine presses a button and the image goes on the big screen. The object fills the screen and the Aronnax jolts, making the kids stumble. A grappling hook attatches itself onto the Aronnax and tilts it. A second grappling hook follows and the Aronnax jolts the other way. Fontaine falls into the pilot seat and Ant is trying to hold onto it.) Fontaine: They're gonna pin us down! (Fontaine starts to drive the Aronnax forwards, but the Dark Orca fires a grappling hook backwards next to a lava lake. The lines stop both subs from moving.) Hammerhead: All is secure, enter that vessel! Fontaine: Rover! Rover, this is Aronnax! We're under attack! (Ant runs from to the Moonpool. The Rover starts driving quickly back to the Aronnax.) Will: We're coming! Fontaine: Whoever they are, they're coming! Will: Shut the Moonpool. Ant: No, wait! We need to cut ourselves free. (Ant enters the Moonpool and climbs into the White Knight. He points to the Jorgange.) Ant: Jeffrey, stay. Backpack development log: find way to carry Jorgange in White Knight. (A claw lowers the White Knight into the Moonpool. Ant exits and goes to the top of the Aronnax.) Ant: Okay Fontaine, I'm out. Close the Moonpool. Fontaine: Good luck, Ant. (Fontaine closes the Moonpool just before the pirates get to it.) Hammerhead: Get that boy! (The pirates swim away from the closed Moonpool and follow Ant. Ant, unaware that he is now a target, reaches the first grappling hook.) Ant: Activate laser. (A laser activates from the left hand of the White Knight. Ant cuts through the cord holding the Aronnax. He goes to the next one. Fontaine watches from the bridge and sees the pirates swimming towards him.) Fontaine: Ant! Starboard side! You've got company. Ant: That's not company. Company brings cake! (Ant cuts through the second cord and the White Knight retreats.) Fontaine: I'll try to slow them down. Discharging bilge tanks. Have a nice day! (Fontaine presses a button. The bilge tanks discharge right under the pirates.) All aboard the Dark Orca: Eww!

Ant: That's the last one. (Ant cuts through the last cable. A pirate approaches, but the he throws it away. A second pirate fires an impulse at the White Knight and it flies backwards, splotches of rust covering it. Fontaine's monitor shows all the damaged spots on the Knight.) Fontaine: Ant! Ant, come in! Do you read? (The White Knight starts sinking. Two pirates go to grab it, but the Rover intercepts and shines its high beams at them.) Kaiko: Stop, right there. No one messes with my family. (Kaiko turns the Rover around and uses the bubbles emitted from the exhaust to push them away.) Fontaine: Mum, Dad, the White Knight's systems are down! Ant's got no power, he's got no air! Ant! Ant, do you read me? Ant: I take it back, you can see just fine. If you're happy with the head you have, you may as well keep it. (The White Knight reboots and follows the Rover towards the Aronnax. Fontaine slumps back in the pilot seat and sighs in relief.) Kaiko: Open the Moonpool, Fontaine. We're coming in... huh? (The Dark Orca pulls alongside the Aronnax. The White Knight and Rover enter the Moonpool and it closes behind them.) Will: The Dark Orca. We should've known. Fontaine: Try to catch us now. (Fontaine pushes the joysticks forwards and the Aronnax accelerates.) Hammerhead: No! They're gettin' away! Fire another grapplin' hook! Danny Boy: But it's our last one, captain. Hammerhead: Ooh, I'm sorry. Are you savin' it for a special occasion!? (Danny Boy pushes a button and a grappling hook fires from the Dark Orca. It doesn't hook, but hits a propeller and jolts the Aronnax. Fontaine is thrown out of the pilot seat and the others stumble into the bridge. Kaiko takes her place.) Kaiko: The primary propeller is down. Fontaine: We can't outrun them with only one prop! Will: We have to. We can't let them get their hands on the scroll. (A plume of lava erupts from the ground in front of the Aronnax. Fontaine looks at the beeping monitor.) Fontaine: The volcano. It's gonna blow! We have to stop!

(The Dark Orca opens a channel to the Nektons.) Hammerhead: Hello Nektons. This is the Dark Orca. Ye can't go forwards and ye can't come back. Surrender yer vessel. (Another plume of lava flares upwards, making everyone close their eyes briefly. More plumes start erupting, one after the other.) Hammerhead: I repeat, surrender yer vessel and all its contents. Now! Ant: Fontaine, how hot is the water around the volcano? Fontaine: You can't be serious. Will: He's right, the Dark Orca would never follow us through an eruption. Fontaine? Fontaine: Twelve hundred degrees celsius. And rising. Ant: The Aronnax is titanium alloy. she can take it. But only if we go now, before it gets much hotter! Fontaine: We've only got one prop! Will: Even with half the power, your mother can out-pilot anyone. You're the captain, Captain. Kaiko: Buckle up. (The Aronnax accelerates towards the lava plumes. All the Nektons buckle themselves into their seats.) Ant: Backpack development log: add a seatbelt for the Jorgange. Fontaine: Thirteen hundred degrees. Ant: It's okay. Titanium doesn't melt under sixteen hundred. Fontaine: Yeah, but I do!

(Danny Boy looks at the sonar. The red dot representing the Aronnax moves away from the Dark Orca.) Danny Boy: The Aronnax is movin' again, Cap'n. It's headin' straight for the volcano! Hammerhead: What? Don't let them get away! Danny Boy: You mean follow them... into the eruption? (Hammerhead growls at Danny Boy, who shrinks back and salutes. Danny Boy: You're the cap'n... Cap'n... (The Dark Orca follows the Aronnax through the lava plumes.) Hammerhead: What's the temperature? Danny Boy: The gages don't work, Cap'n. Hammerhead: What!? Finn: [loudly] He said the gages don't— Hammerhead: I heard him the fist time! Let's go after them! ''(The Aronnax is directly over the crater of the volcano. The Dark Orca is gaining on them.) Kaiko: Hold on! (A plume erupts right in front of the Dark Orca. It ploughs straight through, the metal exterior glowing red.) Finn: The upper hull is almost melting, we're taking in a lot of water. Hammerhead: Keep going! (A monitor beeps on the Aronnax.) Fontaine: Nearing maximum hull temperature! Kaiko: Almost there! Fontaine: Seismic activity peaking! Kaiko: Hold on, everyone. (Kaiko pulls the joysticks sharply and the Aronnax flips upside down. The volcano erupts, engulfing the Aronnax. Pipes start bursting onboard the Dark Orca.) Hammerhead: Argh! Pull out! (The Dark Orca pulls away to starboard and turns back.) Danny Boy: You turned us away just in time, Cap'n. There's no way they survived! (All the pirates cheer and laugh. The red hull of the Aronnax bursts through the magma bubble. It heads away from the eruption.) Fontaine: The Dark Orca. They're turning back. [laughs] Way to go, Mum! Ant: All right! Will: Yeah! Kaiko: We did it! (All the Nektons pump their fists in victory. Finn looks at his monitor. A red dot is moving away from the eruption and the Dark Orca.)''

Finn: Ahh, Cap'n? I think they made it. Hammerhead: What!?

(The Nektons congregate around the pilot seat.) Will: I didn't know the Aronnax could roll over. Kaiko: Me neither. The top of the hull has the strongest insulation. I had to put it between us and the eruption. Fontaine: Just as well you had the Jorgange, or Jeffrey would have spilled all over the floor! Ant: So, you admit it's the greatest invention to ever be invented? Fontaine: Fontaine's development log: admit nothing.

(Danny Boy confers with two pirates through a video feed. He turns to Hammerhead.) Danny Boy: Aside from some old graffiti, there's nothin' in this gateway at all, Cap'n. Hammerhead: Of course there isn't! If there was treasure in there, the Nektons took it. I want it. I want that sub! I want revenge! No one humiliates Captain Hammerhead! (A jet of water from a pipe sprays Hammerhead in the face.)

(Will and Ant are in the study, looking at the picture.) Will: I've searched through the entire scroll, but I didn't find anything that looked like this symbol from the gateway. (Fontaine enters the study with a mug in her hands.) Fontaine: Uh, want your coffee on the table so it can go cold again, Dad? Will: Huh? No, I'll have it now. Thanks. ''Will takes the coffee from Fontaine and has a sip. Ant keeps looking at the symbol.'' Ant: Hmm... Fontaine: Oh no. Now you're getting obsessed, Ant. Ant: We're explorers. We have to be obsessed with things, or we just stay on the couch. The symbol isn't in the scroll... Will: That's what I said. (Ant walks over to the table and examines the scroll.). Ant: Did you look out of the scroll? Will: What? Ant: Help me turn it over. (Ant pushes at the scroll. The nautilus shell on top twists 90º and the outside casing of the scroll falls off neatly.) Ant: Dad! (On the inside of the cover is a mural. In the centre is a person holding their hands up. The symbol is in the middle of them. Will lifts the body of the Chronicle and brings the case up. Everyone compares the images.) Fontaine: That's it! The same symbol! Will: This is just the first. I think we're gonna find more of these symbols in the deep. The start of a whole new path. (The Aronnax speeds to its next destination: Home Base.)
