Nautilus (2024) s01e02 Episode Script

Episode 2

Here, Nemo.
We've taken control of the ship
and we're going to run away from Kalpani.
You'll be hanged.
The Company has already drawn up
plan of attack to recover it.
- A Company ship.
- Approaching.
We'll ram it.
Full speed.
- A sea monster.
- How do you like it?
We take women and children.
No one at the Company's service.
- Who are they?
- Probably pirates.
I'll hunt you down
to the four corners of the Earth.
You'll track me down
in the wrong place.
Captain, your command.
The Dreadnought.
Who is this Nemo?
Believe me,
He will exploit us all
to achieve his ends.
Like the Company.
We're sinking fast.
It must have been damaged
by ramming the ship.
You can't
drain the ballasts.
We're going to keep sinking.
There must be some other way
to drain them.
Here!
All right, what is it?
Your idea!
It's rudimentary,
but it'll work.
Pump air manually.
It would be pumping the air we breathe
into the ballast tanks.
Do you have a better idea?
We need a crank.
There's one in the compressor.
If enough air is supplied
to the ballasts,
We'll head for the surface.
Might as well give it a try.
Carry on!
It doesn't work.
I don't get it.
It should work.
I can't breathe.
Come on!
The oxygen level
becomes too low.
Push!
Do you
ballasts
are empty?
Not enough to go up.
Nemo?
What was it?
That noise.
Can't you hear it?
There's a leak.
I need grease!
And a hose clamp.
- It's fixed now.
- Do it again!
Come on!
It works.
It works.
He's on his way up.
We succeeded.
Thanks to you.
We're alive.
Not for long
with such a crazy captain.
We don't really have a choice.
Are you sure?
Let's repair the engines.
Benoît, rest.
There's no time.
We need to restore power
Before drifting
towards the Company.
You little rascal!
Whose trunks are these?
Lord Pitt is a major shareholder
shareholder.
He accompanies us.
Whoa!
Get out.
Sir.
Our authorization to leave.
I don't need any authorization.
Cast off.
Lieutenant Punch,
raise the bridge.
Free the bridges.
Yes, Captain.
Let's see what it's got.
Raise the gangway!
Free the bridges!
Aye, aye, sir!
Faster or you'll be kissing
the gunner's daughter.
Enter.
Lord Pitt?
Captain Youngblood asks
if you are comfortable.
How can you be comfortable
in this metal box?
Ivanhoe's niche is larger.
Ivanhoe, Your Lordship?
He's a Gordon.
Is Ivanhoe a Gordon?
A setter.
A dog, of course!
You know how it is.
A "chienpardi"?
Do you have a larger cabin?
With a shower room,
a decent bed
I'm afraid not.
What are you wearing?
A Brahman cord.
With my tutor's approval.
In Rome, we do as the Romans do.
Your Lordship.
Good heavens.
What a mess
have we got ourselves into, Algey?
What exactly did he say?
I've already told you.
Miss Lucas
Sorry, but you are
too indispensable
to leave the Nautilus
for the time being.
- What did you answer?
- I said
Why would I want to leave?
What's in it for me?
I trained as an engineer
And I have the soul of a scientist.
We traverse depths
never before explored.
I've accepted my fate,
I have no intention
To leave, I assure you.
Is that how you put it?
You don't know how to lie.
I guarantee he believed me.
I promise.
And you believed her?
Flat wrench.
We need a half-moon.
Flat wrench.
The Nautilus is a marvel
of science and engineering.
Thank you for your time. That wasn't
the subject of my question.
It doesn't work. Half moon.
What could she do?
You won't reach the beach
in this dress.
You'll see.
Archie!
Don't stay with Kai.
He might eat you.
See?
The others are leaving too.
What are you worried about?
I have over 1,600 km to cover
through occupied India
To get back to Bengal.
My village is
a few days from here.
Come with me.
Another important detail.
I thought we
we'd be closer.
Can't you swim?
How hard can it be?
We wave our arms
We fixed it,
I don't understand what's wrong.
Nemo!
They're leaving.
Take my hand!
Jagadish, come on!
I'll help you.
It's not good at all.
I warned you
about your dress.
Who is it?
Fishermen.
Not them. The others.
Sarge,
take half the men,
Requisition these boats
and lay siege to the ship.
Company soldiers.
They'll warn Bombay, let's go!
- Without a crew?
- Too bad!
How to sail the Nautilus
with just seven people?
You tell me,
you're second-in-command.
Really?
Let's go!
Without power, we'll get nowhere.
Miss Lucas!
Where are you going?
They're English,
they'll save you.
Get into position!
Grab your weapons!
You're not going back
to the underwater ship.
Fire!
Return to
in the underwater ship!
The Company.
Reload!
Shoot these criminals!
Onwards and upwards!
Damn it!
We checked for
all potential faults.
Faster!
Come on!
The forward hatch, quickly!
Anything you'd like to say?
They're right behind you.
Don't delay!
That'll do it.
Did you cut it?
How else could I escape?
We're not done yet.
I assure you it is.
Onwards and upwards!
The power's back on!
Take ballast.
Ballast engaged to starboard.
Port side.
Turan, what are you doing?
I write. Why do you write?
Tell me what you write.
Really?
No! Take ballast!
Come on!
Catch them!
Hurry up!
Dive in!
Yes, Captain.
Engines engaged.
The little one!
Archie!
- Leave the dog alone!
- Hurry up! Hurry up!
Close the hatch!
Don't move.
I'll take it from here. Take the helm.
- Notify Bombay.
- Yes, sir.
If you want to escape the Company,
We have to leave the Gulf of Kutch
and reach the open sea.
To do this, you need a crew.
- I've got one.
- Two members tried to escape.
What about next time?
You have to give them
a reason to stay.
Do you want to run away?
I can't help it.
But know one thing
before you do it again.
You have robbed the Company
its most precious asset.
You have humiliated
most powerful men in the world.
Their soldiers will scour the ports
to find you
And when they do,
you will be punished.
The Company will make you pay,
you'll pray for the end.
Is this true?
We are at the heart
From enemy territory, on a ship
devoid of men and weapons.
If we don't reach
the open sea tomorrow,
we will undoubtedly be intercepted
by the ships
that the Company is sending from Bombay
at this very moment
to hunt us down.
I won't let anyone
put the Nautilus in danger again.
Is that clear?
The Nautilus was sighted
in the Gulf of Kutch.
We could intercept it here.
This ship can go faster.
She's new and hasn't sailed much.
We need to take it easy.
It might never arrive.
Just do it.
Full speed ahead. Full speed ahead.
Yes, Captain. Full speed ahead.
Where's Captain Millais?
Under the bridge.
He hasn't left his cabin
since he came on board.
Miss Lucas?
Give us a moment, madame.
Your sabotage almost
cost us our lives.
You forget that I saved you.
You promised to stay.
You lied
To your friend about your intentions
towards the Nautilus?
Benoît and I
You're not my friend.
Be well warned, Captain.
I'll run away as soon as I can.
I won't try, I'll succeed.
Lock me up, if you like.
As you were.
You compare this to your compatriots
who imprisoned us
And enslaved?
I misspoke,
please forgive me.
You did commit a crime
to be imprisoned,
It's inevitable.
If you ever damage
the Nautilus,
I abandon you at sea.
You are back
And you helped us escape,
why?
This won't
Don't look.
Speed?
Twelve knots.
Depth?
Depth?
Nine fathoms.
It's hope
that brings hearts together.
Lord Pitt, is there a particular reason
for your visit?
Love.
What valour.
My fiancée is aboard the Nautilus.
Miss Humility Lucas.
Exactly!
You must have heard about it.
Quite a catch.
Even for a good catch like me.
I had the honor of escorting him
from London to Bombay.
Not quite as far as Bombay.
You're the one
who let her get kidnapped
by these escapees.
I failed in my mission.
Captain Youngblood,
You've met this Nemo.
Tell me, what did you think?
He's a prisoner, a murderer,
and now a kidnapper.
With all due respect,
My question wasn't
addressed to you, Lord Pitt.
Youngblood?
He's ruthless.
But also reckless.
Wild.
But he seems determined.
Courageous.
Nonsense.
Whoever this Nemo is,
he'll soon die.
With my hands.
You're not afraid
of what will happen to us
What if the Company captures us?
A true revolutionary
No fear.
Perhaps I can plead
on your behalf.
At the Company.
If the revolution broke out,
You'd be the first to run.
You coward!
How would you know? You're a farmer.
A vestige of the feudal order.
Without the farmers,
you wouldn't have any rice to eat.
Are you a farmer?
Tell me more.
Shut up and eat.
Please excuse me.
Where are you going?
He doesn't know how to behave.
He eats with his hands.
It's humiliating.
A few grains of rice
at every meal.
That's all there is to it.
Someone persists
to steal the cookies.
Who would steal these vile cookies?
An electrical transformer
transformer circuit.
I didn't know it really existed.
It didn't exist
before we made this one.
I'd be happy to show you,
but you already know
how it works.
And how to stop it
from working.
I'm so sorry.
Given the circumstances,
You're forgiven.
Did you build it for the Company?
No one else was willing
to finance its construction.
She assured me
that it would be dedicated to exploration.
Then I saw Kalpani.
The way she planned to
build my dream.
Through sweat and blood,
and the suffering of human beings
Enslaved.
Everything the Company had told me
was wrong.
The Nautilus was supposed
become a weapon?
I'm afraid so.
I've got something to show you.
It looks like a waterproof
waterproof.
The explosive charge must
be stored here.
There are no explosives on board.
So how do you pull it?
Compressed air.
Benoît says they're called
torpedoes.
Do you know anything about explosives?
I can tell the difference between
gunpowder.
Is that where you throw them?
You know, my father
my father was an engineer.
I loved learning
the mechanism of objects.
My father encouraged me.
He taught me everything.
A great man.
And here's our marvel.
Seawater is heated
by electricity.
The steam is then sent
to the steam engines,
A little higher.
This results in propulsion.
Exactly.
- An electric boiler.
- Don't touch it!
It's hot.
On several occasions,
I thought the task was impossible.
Nemo helped me to solve
the most complex problems.
Nemo?
His mind is brilliant.
When it applies.
The Nautilus is as much his work
as it is mine.
That's why I
I let him name it.
Why the Nautilus?
It's up to him to tell you.
As far as I'm concerned,
when I learned
what the Company was planning to do,
I wanted to give up.
Nemo convinced me
to complete the vessel
and escape with it.
As a result, he betrayed you.
He has his reasons
for being the way he is.
Which ones?
Your friend is back.
She's not my friend.
You can see why.
What language does he speak?
Where are you from?
We know nothing about Jiacomo.
But its name?
We don't know.
There you are.
What has he done now?
He stole into the storeroom.
Never in my life. I swear I won't.
On Archie's head.
If it's not you,
It's your dog.
If I ever catch him,
We won't just be eating cookies.
You wouldn't do that.
He doesn't intend to eat the dog.
If you didn't steal the cookies,
Who stole them?
We'll stay up all night
to find out.
You don't understand
what's at stake.
Concentrate.
Nemo.
I hear something.
A whaler.
He's chasing the bench we passed.
It has to be stopped!
What's up?
They fish, that's all.
Whales are not fish
mammals.
Mothers look after their babies,
like our own.
Not mine.
The Company could
catch up with us.
Why risk our lives
For a few fish?
They're not fish.
They're scared.
We have to help them.
You're welcome.
Don't be stupid.
Maintain speed.
Abandon these creatures
is inhuman.
Inhuman?
These fishermen are human.
Close the shield.
Boniface, the helm.
It's a mother trying
to keep them away from her young.
Forget what I said!
Full speed ahead.
I beg your pardon?
- We had to get out of the Gulf.
- And survive.
Onwards and upwards.
What about the Company and the high seas?
Now!
Do as he says!
Full steam ahead!
I surface.
Hold on tight!
The rifle!
Captain!
He frees the whale!
Watch out!
No, stop! Hold your fire!
No !
He succeeded.
Stop!
Reverse the engines!
We barely know
how to move this ship.
Can you see it?
Thank you for your help.
They hold back the calf.
Back to the boats.
About face!
I will die for my men.
They are like my family.
Release it.
Hold it tight, boys!
I wish I could,
But I need him
to attract the mother.
What right do you have to slaughter them?
I have no rights, sir.
Looking for someone to blame?
Think of those
who burn lamps
And lubricate machines.
Not forgetting
Corsets and perfumes.
How much for the whale?
How much?
The mother would get us
Twenty barrels of oil.
A thousand dollars a barrel,
it's up to you to calculate.
Where do you expect
to find this money?
What do you do?
What do you think?
Contract concluded.
Real diamonds, boys!
Release him.
Yes, Captain.
It's theft!
You wanted to save him.
No thanks to my bracelet.
You prefer your diamonds
to the survival of these fishermen?
You think I care
about diamonds?
- What then?
- It was a gift from my father.
- He'll buy another.
- No, he won't.
He can't anymore.
I didn't know that.
I'm very sorry.
Really?
I said it, I mean it.
- What can I say?
- Anything you like. May I?
Aren't you going to throw all that away?
Everything is made
from whales, Loti.
The ones used to make these
are already dead.
No !
Not yet!
It's passed right under our noses.
High seas ahead.
All right, then.
Once on the Arabian Sea,
Impossible to stop.
- We're not there yet.
- Wait, wait, wait!
What?
The Dreadnought.
What is the Dreadnought?
Impossible.
It was a rumor.
It looks real to me.
What is it?
A big boat,
With very big guns.
Is the Dreadnought really here?
He'll destroy us!
We could
us.
You know what they'll do to us!
Nemo did the right thing
to save the whales.
If he's our captain,
We should be his priority.
The crew! That's the contract!
But management
always does as it pleases,
and changes the rules
Let him go!
Jiacomo!
Enough is enough!
We're going to die.
We're going to die.
What's going on?
In your worst nightmare,
What ship is chasing us?
Listen to me.
If we get together
and act fast,
We'll get away from them.
Even if we make it,
they'll never stop chasing us.
If we manage to sow them
And we find the treasure,
we'll be safe.
How?
They have hundreds of ships,
thousands of soldiers
He's right, Nemo.
No matter how many weapons we buy
and build walls,
we're too few.
Thanks to the treasure,
we won't need any of this.
Power can be bought.
And anonymity.
That's what protects the rich.
It doesn't matter if you've chosen
to be there.
Whether I like you
or whether you hate me.
Whether I'm your captain or not,
We are all now
the best hope we have.
Understand?
Good. Return to your posts.
Was that better?
A little.
Go to the machine room.
You'll have all its power.
May I accompany you?
We look forward to seeing you.
Are you scared?
A little, we only have torpedoes
And no explosives.
Then we'll have to be smarter.
We dive.
We'll be fine.
You heard the captain,
we're diving!
He dived.
Close the shield.
Shut down engines.
Engines off.
Total silence.
Why the silence?
Mr. Haris?
Shut that dog up!
Archie.
Archie!
I've got something.
Send underwater bombs.
First we need to locate them.
All it takes is one approach.
The explosion will cause
a violent blow to its hull.
It would sink.
I'd rather destroy it
than leave it in their hands.
What about Miss Lucas?
This is most regrettable,
But she has to take the risk.
I don't agree.
If anything happens to Mlle Lucas,
I'll have your head.
If it moves you that much, Lord Pitt,
Please return to your cabin.
The bombs
You can't ignore me,
Crawley!
Obviously, I can.
Right away.
Arm the bombs!
Calibrate
for a depth of 20 fathoms.
Yes, Captain.
Cut the engines!
Arm underwater bombs
to a depth of 20 fathoms.
Aye, aye, sir!
Archie.
Archie.
Light the wicks!
Fire!
Hush.
What was it?
No need to find out.
Go lower.
- Empty the ballasts.
- Gently.
Nemo will dive lower.
Arm yourself with new bombs!
Depth: 65 fathoms.
Yes, Captain!
Calibrate wicks
for 65 fathoms!
Aye, aye, sir! 65 fathoms!
Depth?
54 fathoms.
Get as far down as you can.
Fire!
Any closer and you die.
Depth?
98 fathoms.
We've hit rock bottom.
The rest of our journey
is likely to be a spiritual one.
Two more bombs,
Lieutenant Punch.
- Depth: 100 fathoms.
- Yes, Captain.
Calibrate wicks
for 100 fathoms!
100 fathoms wicks!
Fire!
It exploded at about 90 fathoms.
The Nautilus must be touched.
Or the bomb imploded.
How far did the tests go?
50 fathoms.
We're too far away for them.
Well done to all.
We did it.
Nothing.
Just a moment.
The Nautilus?
I don't think so.
Archie?
Open the observation bay.
Keep listening.
How are you?
Silence.
Otherwise you die.
