The year is 1 889.
Jean is dismayed at being treated as a child by the Nautilus's crew.
He decides to build a helicopter by himself to prove he's no child.
As he works, he discovers his inexperience and
the need to rely on the knowledge possessed by the adult world.
He recognizes he is still a child, and turns to Hanson for help.
Jean then completes his helicopter and,
together with Nadia, takes it into the skies.
Jean eagerly looks forward to the day when he can become a grown-up
and make his dreams come true.
It appears to be a cargo ship of British registry.
They don't seem to be aware of us.
Maintain present position until it sails out of range.
Yes, Sir.
I guess we're safe.
Yes. We haven't been this near land in a long time.
That's true. I hope the landing party can find something useful.
Say, we don't hear much about the sea monster these days.
I wonder why?
I heard that the American fleet finished off the monster. I wonder why?
I heard that the American fleet finished off the monster.
Is that true?
I guess so. They also say it was over two hundred meters long. Is that true?
I guess so. They also say it was over two hundred meters long.
What a huge monster! The American fleet has lots of power!
Now we can sail across the sea and feel safe.
Right. That ornery monster is sleeping with the fishes now!
Probably talking about the Nautilus.
I think so.
It's not a nice feeling.
No, it's not.
Yo!
Join us. Yo!
Join us.
Find any clues to our objective?
Not a thing. It seems they've gone completely under cover. Find any clues to our objective?
Not a thing. It seems they've gone completely under cover.
Just as I expected.
These news reports are the last mention.
"The monster is sleeping with the fishes!"
Recently, there's no information at all on the Garfish.
They've stopped attacking cargo ships in favor of some other evil plan.
Like making another Tower of Babel?
No, that plan was a failure. It must be something else.
What could it be?
It's our job to find out.
What will Captain Nemo say if we return empty handed?
I think we have to worry more about Miss Electra.
That's true. We would be in real trouble.
Time for my report, Sir.
Ship's present position: West 25, North 306.
Depth 96 meters. Main engines operating smoothly.
Auxiliary engines, no problem. Food supplies adequate for 20 days.
However...
What is it?
Three rounds of battle repairs What is it?
Three rounds of battle repairs
have left us short of maintenance materials.
I believe it would be a good idea to return to base.
We'll consider that after we have the report from the Chief Helmsman.
Yes.
So, we're apprentice engineers? We'll get our suits all dirty.
We've certainly been to a lot of different places.
Europe must be far, far away by now.
I wonder where we are right now?
No maps, no compass, I have no idea.
I see.
From the stars we saw last night, we must be way down south. I see.
From the stars we saw last night, we must be way down south.
South, you say?
I wonder where we're headed?
Attention all crew members.
We will head for our main base to take on supplies and materials.
What's that?!
What is this?!
Arctic clothing.
Arctic clothing? Arctic clothing.
Arctic clothing?
Yes, for protection against the arctic cold.
I don't like it. Why do we have to wear such out of style clothing?
It really is unstylish.
I couldn't face Captain Nemo in clothes like this!
What did you say?
Is it starting again?
But why do we have to wear clothes like this?
Because we're going to the South Pole.
What did you say?!
What's that?! The South Pole?!
What is Captain Nemo planning anyway?
He wants to go back to his base.
His base?!
That place is just ice. How can he have a base in a place like that?
In the first place, no one even knows what kind of place it is.
Is the South Pole truly a terrible place?
It sure is! No ship has even been near the South Pole!
Terrible winds...
Thick ice blocks...
And it's so cold that tears freeze on your face.
It's no place for humans!
It's that bad?
Many people have tried to reach the South Pole,
and they all failed!!
I don't care how wonderful this ship is,
it just cannot survive at the South Pole!
Jean, is that true?
I'm sure we'll be all right.
Gosh, the South Pole.
I wonder what kind of a place it is? What an opportunity!
The South Pole?
You've been there, haven't you? What kind of a place is it? The South Pole?
You've been there, haven't you? What kind of a place is it?
That's right. That's where our base is.
What kind of place is it?
Let's see, that's where our base is located.
Well, that's where our base is located.
That's where our base is.
Our base is located there.
The South Pole?
Yes, what kind of place is it? The South Pole?
Yes, what kind of place is it?
That's where the base for the Nautilus is located.
What's the matter?
That's what everybody says when we ask! What's the matter?
That's what everybody says when we ask!
I see. I think everyone wants to surprise you.
All right, I'll show you.
Hurray!
It's like magic!
Not quite. It's only the power of science.
This is amazing! I wonder how it works? Like a magic lantern?
An image created by an electronic brain
is projected by electricity, magnets and electronics.
What is an electronic brain?
I guess you could call it a machine that can think.
I'll explain the details later.
Right now you're interested in the South Pole, right?
Yes.
This is the Antarctic Continent.
Amazing! This is a drawing of the shoreline.
What's so terrific about it?
The Antarctic shoreline is always covered with ice.
No one knows exactly where it lies.
But a map showing it exists on this ship.
It's unbelievable!
Tell me how you drew the shoreline.
Actually, we were not the ones who mapped it.
The data was already contained in the electronic data bank.
How did they find out?
Well, that's...
That's?
A secret.
Geez, that's not fair!
Say, what is this stamp?
That's the site of our secret base.
But that's in the middle of the continent.
How can a ship get there? Do we walk?
Don't worry. This ship will take us there.
But how?
That's...
That's? That's...
That's?
A secret.
Geez! Unfair!
Jean, you jerk!
No target within a radius of twenty kilometers.
No electronic jamming.
Switching on the air compressor.
We'll be entering the Antarctic Zone shortly.
We'll reach the South Pole soon.
I sure hope this ship can take us there.
What's going on?
We're running into some ice floes. They're still small ones.
Obstacle lying directly in front.
Ice floes, about five meters in thickness.
What shall we do?
The compressed air? What shall we do?
The compressed air?
Full up to cylinder 48.
It will take two minutes to fill the remaining two.
Upon completion, prepare to submerge.
Yes, Sir.
Geez, we've reached the South Pole, and they tell us we can't go out! Yes, Sir.
Geez, we've reached the South Pole, and they tell us we can't go out!
At least we won't catch cold.
But I want to see.
All crew, prepare to submerge.
Each man to his work station.
I'm going up to the bridge.
Diving system operating satisfactorily.
Depth 60 meters. Ballast normal.
A huge iceberg ahead between 1 1 and 2 o'clock.
Turn thirty degrees to starboard.
Aye, Sir.
Gee, it's huge!
Depth 80 meters. Maintaining present heading.
This is strange. The water temperature is over 7 degrees!
Captain, the sea bed!
What is all this?
What has happened here?
This is terrible! It's just like a graveyard for fish.
First Officer, check the composition of the sea water.
Yes, Sir.
The magnetic field is unstable.
Water density is plus point seven five. The magnetic field is unstable.
Water density is plus point seven five.
The presence of carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide,
and heavy metal ions is two hundred times normal!
Just as I thought.
What's going on?
An undersea volcano!
Incredible!
I thought all the volcanoes around here were extinct. Incredible!
I thought all the volcanoes around here were extinct.
Mother Nature always has surprises for us, doesn't she?
She certainly does.
What shall we do?
It can't be helped. Go around it.
Aye, Sir.
What was all that commotion a while back?
I heard we ran into an undersea volcano.
A volcano?!
You mean to tell me there are volcanoes under the sea?
The South Pole seems to be quite a dangerous place.
We are passing under an ice sheet. Depth 1 60 meters.
Unidentified object approaching from 1 1 o'clock.
Relative approach speed 60 knots.
It can't be a Garfish!
You have ten seconds to identify it.
Yes, Sir!
No mechanical propulsion noise detected.
No magnetic reaction. So, it can't be a Garfish.
Then what is it?
I have no idea!
What shall we do?
Captain Nemo... What shall we do?
Captain Nemo...
I am declaring General Quarters.
Yes, Sir! All hands to general quarters!
Repeat, all hands to general quarters!
This time it's war? The South Pole is really a dangerous place.
It's coming! It's latched on to our position.
Six hundred meters to contact.
Vertical dive, now! Six hundred meters to contact.
Vertical dive, now!
Did you see that?!
I sure did!
That was no submarine! I sure did!
That was no submarine!
Something alive?!
It looked like a giant squid! Something alive?!
It looked like a giant squid!
Ice on top of us and a giant squid below.
This is dangerous!
That thing brushed us!
It's alive! Maybe it thinks we are invading its territory.
It's coming back! Starboard bow!
Damn! Get us away!
Engines at full speed! Hard to port!
No good! It's going to ram us head on!
All crew members, prepare for collision!
What's going on?!
I can't believe it!
It's a giant shellfish. I can't believe it!
It's a giant shellfish.
They existed hundreds of millions of years ago!
And it's alive today?!
That thing is crushing us!
It's impossible to use our weapons.
Not with it clinging to the ship.
It's even cracking our reinforced tectite!
Close the armored shutters.
Yes, Sir!
Damn!
I've got it!
Captian, what if we sent a high voltage current through the hull?
Good idea!
Okay, let's try it, First Officer.
Yes, Sir!
Nautilus the submarine versus Nautilus the shellfish!
What a mess!
Raise the voltage!
Yes, Sir! Raise the voltage!
Yes, Sir!
It won't let go!
Engines at full power! Begin vertical climb!
Sir, there's an iceberg on top of us!
I know! We'll ram it and the shellfish!
Aye, aye!
What's going on?!
It's still clinging to us.
It's worse than a Garfish.
The bridge can't take much more of this!
Hard to starboard! Heading 1 07.
But that's back toward the volcano!
Doesn't matter, 1 07.
Yes, Sir!
Incredible!
Don't worry, proceed straight into the crater!
But the heat will destroy the Nautilus!
There's no other way. Let's do it!
Right!
Purge all compressed air through tank 30!
Purging is complete!
Here we go! Purging is complete!
Here we go!
The shellfish?
Still alive. The shellfish?
Still alive.
Chief Helmsman, pass as close as you can to the crater.
Aye, Sir!
It's a battle of nerves.
Outside temperature, 1 200 degrees. Internal temperature, 40!
It certainly is hot!
The South Pole sure is a funny place.
How can it stay alive in this heat?!
It's a monster!
The bridge is reaching its limit!
Captain...
It's alive. It has to let go. Captain...
It's alive. It has to let go.
We did it!
We were lucky.
I see! It was alive and couldn't breathe inside the crater. We were lucky.
I see! It was alive and couldn't breathe inside the crater.
So it had to let go.
It's amazing to think that a creature like that still exists.
Nature has many things beyond the knowledge of mankind.
Set bearing 1 1 0. Let's head for our base.
Yes, Sir.
It's amazing to find a tunnel like this at the bottom of the sea!
It's unknown to mankind.
We are passing out of the tunnel and into the sea.
This is unbelievable!
We should be under a continent, but we're in this huge sea!
Jean, this is the place on the map.
This place?
Yes, a huge undersea cavern.
