The year was 1 889.
The fantastic submarine Nautilus was in pursuit of an airship
carrying Gargoyle when they fell into a trap set by him.
They were encircled by a field of sea mines.
The Nautilus and her crew were saved from a perilous situation
by the heroic actions of none other than Jean and the Grandis gang.
I'm opposed to such a proposal.
We have a great task ahead of us.
We have concentrated our total efforts towards this objective.
To take on new crewmembers we know nothing of will hinder our mission.
Not only that, but won't it place the Nautilus in even more danger?
But we are short of personnel,
and we mustn't forget their courage in our battle with Gargoyle.
As long as they think of Gargoyle as an enemy,
won't their goal be the same as ours?
There is one thing that bothers me.
They might take the secrets of the Nautilus back, and misuse them.
I don't think that should worry us.
The theories behind our science could never be understood by them.
I agree.
We don't even fully understand the super-science on board this ship.
They may learn how to use it, but they could never duplicate it.
But there's no reason to...
I can't stand this much longer!
How much longer are they going to keep us cooped in this small space.
There's no one to show off my new suit to!
They all look the same to me.
That's because you've got no fashion sense!
There's a subtle difference.
It's more important to me whether l can stay on board this ship or not.
Are you kidding?! The earlier I can get out, the happier I'll be!
But the scientific technology they have is out of this world.
I'd like to learn diving mechanics, and apply it to the Gratan.
Are you crazy?! They're not going to teach you anything that easily.
Maybe not.
On the other hand, any decision we make depends on our Senorita.
That's true.
Perfect... "Senorita Grandis, you're looking lovely today!"
My! How nice of you to say so, Captain Nemo! You flatter me!
"No, no! I never use flattery."
My! Then...
Just dreaming!
I hereby confirm that Grandis, Sanson and Hanson
will be taken on as apprentice crewmembers.
Are you dissatisfied, Electra?
No, it's just...
Can we really trust those three?
Especially Senorita Grandis.
What's suspicious about her?
Nothing.
Nothing, really.
Apprentice crewmembers?!
That's right. As of today, you three will work under my command.
This is kind of sudden, isn't it?
All right!
Who's responsible for this?
Dear God, thank you for listening to my request!
Oh, Captain Nemo...
Miss Electra, I want to learn about this ship!
The science on board this ship is superb.
You're doing things no one has ever done before.
I want to learn about your science, and apply it for the good of man!
Good for you!
I understand, Jean. But I cannot allow you to wander the ship alone.
Instead, you can read all the books I have in my room.
Thank you, Miss Electra!
Miss Electra, what should I do?
You are to be treated as a guest,
but you will be expected to follow all the rules just like Jean.
No, I want to be given something to do too.
But...
I've always worked for my food. But...
I've always worked for my food.
Good for you. No work, no food, as they say.
I see. Then, you can assist Miss Grandis with her work.
Yes, Ma'am.
I want to work too. Yes, Ma'am.
I want to work too.
Well, I wonder what job Marie can do?
I can do anything.
I see. All right, I'll think of something for you to do also.
My goodness! So, you want to work too, King?
Control board for job assignments, switch on.
Now, this is the interior of the Nautilus. We're here right now.
This is the hangar, the crew's quarters and the main Engine room.
Say, I don't see any propeller.
Yeah, none.
That's correct. This ship uses a water jet for propulsion. Yeah, none.
That's correct. This ship uses a water jet for propulsion.
Water jet?
What's that?
Water jet propulsion takes in water through the inlet ports, What's that?
Water jet propulsion takes in water through the inlet ports,
ionizes it, and through magnetic induction by a super conductor coil
converts it to plasma and ejects it to the rear, causing forward propulsion.
You ionize the water, and apply magnetic induction?
That requires tremendous power. What's the power source?
It's not possible with an ordinary boiler or battery power.
The power source is here, in the heart of the ship.
What's the principle behind the power, Sir?
Hey, don't call me "Sir". I'm not that old, you know?
And the power source for creating the jet stream?
That comes from our super efficient parti... That's restricted data.
What did you say?
I'm sorry, but I'm not allowed to talk about that.
Any way, with this engine, nothing can beat us, not even the Garfish.
The Garfish?
You saw it didn't you? Gargoyle's submarine? The Garfish?
You saw it didn't you? Gargoyle's submarine?
The Garfish...
Now, a special visit to the bridge.
This is not allowed during battle maneuvers.
Marie, is something the matter?
Marie wants to work. I don't like studying.
But Marie, children's work is to study.
Marie is not a child! That's why I want to work.
But studying and working are the same.
Then, I don't want to work.
Well, then what shall we do?
My, how bright you are!
Shall we study together, King?
Ready? What is one plus one?
That's right, it's two.
You know how to add? I can't believe it.
Marie can add too!
I see! Then, let's go to the next problem.
What is three minus two?
King, this time it's my turn to answer.
What are you wearing? You look like a peasant.
But it was too big for me, so I cut it a bit.
If that's how you like it. Now, shall we go to the kitchen?
What is this?
Cold storage. What is this?
Cold storage.
Cold storage?
Everything looks frozen inside. Cold storage?
Everything looks frozen inside.
Where is the ice?
We don't use ice for cooling. We use electricity.
Electricity?
Is electricity something cold? Electricity?
Is electricity something cold?
I'm only the cook. I don't know about such difficult things.
What about this range?
That's electric too. What about this range?
That's electric too.
The oven?
The juicer?
The whipper?
The dishwasher?
The oven,
the juicer, the whipper
and the dishwasher too!
This is amazing. Everything is run by electricity.
Electricity sure sounds like a convenient thing to have.
But there are two things electricity cannot do.
One is to use this cooking knife,
and the other is to find pleasure in feeding other people.
You cut yourself again?
Geez, kids nowadays can't even cut seaweed.
You certainly are a problem child. You'll run out of fingers soon.
You don't have to use the knife anymore. Take off that cover.
Sure...
That's right. You did tell me you couldn't look at fish or meat.
Hello?
No one's home.
Today, I'll cook the meal by myself.
Children and the aged can go sit in a corner, and rest!
We seem to have fish every day. The menu must get monotonous!
I don't see how you can touch those fish!
What're you so scared about? It's not going to bite you.
But they're all dead bodies!
Dead bodies? What do you mean? It's food to eat!
It's food for my beloved Captain Nemo to partake!
Oh, what a delicious smell. Now for a dash of my love!
Oh, my goodness!
Your dinner is served!
What is this?
This dish is called Angler Fish a la Love, Grandis style. Please enjoy it.
We get only soup and water. Why's that?
Quiet! You're still young! That won't kill you!
Please, while it's hot!
My cooking doesn't please you?
It's not that.
It's delicious!
I'm so glad! It's delicious!
I'm so glad!
It might not look so good, but it tastes great.
Let me have a bite. Say, this really is good!
It is? Here, give me a bite.
Say, this is tasty.
I must agree, this is delicious.
King's astonishing, but Grandis also amazed me with her cooking.
They say you can't judge a person by his looks, but...
But what?
It's about Nadia.
What about Nadia?
Well, she can't seem to do anything right,
but I'm sure she'll get over it in time.
I see.
Up to now, there's been no one to teach her about life.
I didn't have anyone like that either.
In other words,
in view of the food situation on board the Nautilus,
this is the menu that resulted, but...
I'm sure everyone will bear with me. Do I hear any complaints?!
Now, shall we eat?
Isn't it grand to eat the same food as Captain Nemo?
But...
You eat fish, and we get potatoes? But...
You eat fish, and we get potatoes?
What's that? You two have something to say?!
Oh no! We were just saying how good the mashed potatoes were.
Did you say mashed potatoes? That's white fish meat.
My, what bad manners!
I'm sorry.
Time to eat! I'm sorry.
Time to eat!
Doesn't it taste delicious?
Maybe it needs a little pepper.
It's not just lacking pepper.
Right.
Sanson! Hanson! If you have any complaints, tell me! Right.
Sanson! Hanson! If you have any complaints, tell me!
Speak up like men! You've been saying things under your breath.
It's disgusting. What do you expect after loafing on your jobs?!
He's fast!
King! He's fast!
King!
Darn him!
King, you...
Senorita?!
That cat! Senorita?!
That cat!
He's a lion.
I'll get you for scratching my beautiful skin!
Senorita!
Miss Grandis! Senorita!
Miss Grandis!
King, where are you?!
There you are!
Missed him!
Senorita... Missed him!
Senorita...
Senorita!
Miss Grandis!
How rude everyone is during dinner!
What a strange bunch.
King! King! King!
Wait, Miss Grandis! King! King! King!
Wait, Miss Grandis!
King! King! King! King!
Static electricity? What can it be?
We're coming in!
Miss Grandis, what is this? You're not permitted on the bridge! We're coming in!
Miss Grandis, what is this? You're not permitted on the bridge!
It doesn't matter! This is an emergency!
Regardless of the reason, rules must be strictly observed!
What are you talking about? All you think about are rules!
That's why you look older than you are!
What did you say?!
I wonder what's in that room?
King! King! King!
Miss Grandis!
So, this is where you were!
I wonder what this is?
It's definitely not a generator.
Is it some kind of an engine?
That's right.
Captain Nemo!
This is the heart of our submarine.
A room temperature, particle annihilation engine.
A particle annihilation engine?
That's right.
What kind of engine is that? That's right.
What kind of engine is that?
Hydrogen atoms and anti-hydrogen atoms annihilate each other,
changing ninety-four percent of their mass into pure energy.
It is the only existing near perpetual engine.
It seems very complicated.
It is beyond the science of the 1 9th century,
and even the 20th century, to duplicate this engine.
Depending on the application, it can take us to the stars.
To the stars?
Incredible! It's a treasure of mankind!
A treasure of mankind...
But if it is applied evilly, it can be a weapon to destroy the world.
This ship at present is only a killing tool.
Jean, science is truly a wonderful thing.
It makes the impossible possible.
But science must also bear responsibility
for all human crimes caused by partaking of the tree of knowledge.
You must never forget that!
Get out of my way!
I can't do that! Entrance into the engine room is prohibited!
Don't be so uptight!
No, it's prohibited!
I'm just going in to look for King.
Whatever the reason, I cannot allow you to pass.
You mean that?!
King!
Where were you? I was so worried!
You must never run away again!
Nadia dear, be a good girl and give me the Blue Water... I mean, King!
Never! It all started because you pestered King.
Hand him over!
What's going on?!
Captain!
What's all the ruckus about?
It's...
I just wanted to play with King a little.
In this day of modern science, why must we be doing such manual labor?
As long as we're on board this ship, this looks like our destiny.
What are you grumbling about?!
This happened, because you two aren't worth your bread!
But isn't his angry face wonderful too?
Oh, this feels so good! I'd like to kiss the sky!
It's been so long since we last saw the sun.
I never knew the wind and sun could be so wonderful.
Captain Nemo!
You seemed so absorbed in your books,
but I guess you find the skies more enjoyable than strict science.
This ship will sail on the ocean's surface for twenty-four hours.
You are free to come out on deck any time you wish.
Yes, Sir!
Please wait, Captain Nemo!
Jean, what's wrong?
The more I read, the more I don't understand.
I see. Do you think I could help you?
Tell me, is this ship a tool for killing?
Captain Nemo told you that, didn't he?
Yes, when I was looking for King, and wandered into the engine room.
I'm sorry! I should have told you.
It's all right. I'll excuse you for being honest in telling me.
Science must assume responsibility for the crimes committed
by those that partake of the tree of knowledge.
Is that what he said?
What does he mean? Is that what he said?
What does he mean?
How can I explain?
As long as mankind has both good and evil in its heart,
it creates good science and bad,
because it is man that applies science.
When man finds a force larger than he can use, it causes great misery.
Like this ship.
When man finds a force larger than he can use,
it causes great misery. Like this ship.
Jean, there will come a time when you will understand.
Jean... Jean!
Your thoughts seem so far away.
I'm sorry.
Is it something Captain Nemo said to you?
Tell me, is this ship a good one or a bad one?
I'm sure it must be a good one,
because Captain Nemo is a good man!
I wonder...
The sea at night seems so scary.
So dark, as if it wants to swallow you.
Men are such small creatures compared to this ocean.
So insignificant when compared to the limitless universe.
What should I do about this impatience in my heart?
I have lost sight of my distant dreams
I cry as I look up to the sky
Where our promise shines brightly
Try! Comforting words are like breezes that don't reach my heart
My misgivings grow
But I make my own decisions so
I will probably be all right on my own
Even if I stumble, even if I get lost, there's always tomorrow
