Nautilus (2024) s01e03 Episode Script

She's a mother
Who tries
to keep them away from her little one.
Release it.
Who is this Nemo?
He's a prisoner, a murderer,
And now a kidnapper.
He's a pirate
from the Coromandel coast.
You did commit a crime
to be imprisoned.
You have robbed the Company
its most precious asset.
You have humiliated
most powerful men in the world.
In your worst nightmare,
what ship is chasing us?
Raise the gangway!
Impossible.
Archie!
Send underwater bombs.
Fire!
Any closer and you die.
Archie?
Get down as far as you can.
We're too far away for them.
Keep listening.
Don't talk. Otherwise you die.
We don't belong here.
Get out of the way.
- Debris?
- Nothing, sir.
Did we touch them or not?
I sense a kind of
clicking.
A clicking sound?
Let go of me!
Shut that dog up!
I'd rather face
the Company than that.
We're stuck.
Mr. Haris?
Mr. Haris!
I demand answers immediately.
I don't know what it is.
What is it?
A giant squid.
But what's going on?
What is it?
- That noise.
- That's nothing.
- I can hear it breaking.
- It doesn't.
- The ship breaks up.
- No, it won't.
I doubt the glass will hold.
- What do you intend to do?
- Scare it away.
Shoot him.
With this?
It's 10 times your size.
Please be quiet.
Don't forget,
The explosion must have frightened him.
I'll be courteous.
Listen
I haven't finished all the tests.
- But the suit should hold.
- Should?
Do something, Nemo!
The suit held.
And the whale saved you.
Dare to tell me
That she's not sensitive.
Seaweed tea.
Thank you.
Tasty.
- The Dreadnought?
- Still there.
It's calmed down again.
I have muffled noises.
Let me know
if the engines restart.
Will it work?
We'll soon find out.
Let's fill it with noisy things.
No explosives,
the fish are safe.
Your sense of humor
leaves something to be desired.
I hear something!
They're on the move.
Captain? Follow that noise.
Don't lose it.
- Course?
- 180 degrees, Captain.
They're leaving.
Engines running.
No, if we do it too soon,
they'll hear.
When the torpedo stops,
they'll be back. Go ahead.
To your posts.
Something's wrong.
He's just hungry.
Just like the rest of us.
All is well.
Tell me what's going on.
Blaster?
What's your name?
My name is Miss Lucas. Humility.
I'm not a threat.
Tell the others.
You're threatening this child.
Let him go and I'll tell them.
You're safe.
You have my word on it.
A soldier.
Let's throw him overboard.
Let him explain.
- Why do you ask?
- I don't want to hear it.
I was on duty
during your mutiny.
I tried to get away.
You knocked me out.
- Very brave.
- Very brave.
That was me. Very brave.
Please.
I didn't want to become a soldier.
Where I come from,
It's either that,
or rot in the streets.
What would you have chosen?
I refuse to let him suffer
the same fate
of Captain Youngblood
And his crew.
Are you refusing?
Borrow it.
We'll take him ashore.
As soon as the Dreadnought
can communicate,
the Company's entire fleet,
from Cape Town to Gibraltar,
will be looking for us.
Heading east.
Then northeast passage
across the Arctic to Halvar.
It'll take at least a month.
I beg your pardon? A month?
I won't last.
We stay deep,
undetected.
We have to go back up for supplies.
Food and water are in short supply.
Out of the question.
We're surrounded by water.
Go ahead, drink it.
How long will we last?
A week?
- Days?
- If you eat nothing and drink little.
You had to ration our supplies.
What provisions?
We stole an empty ship.
I'm sorry! I'm sorry! You had one mission.
What do you mean you lost it?
The noise was
Arrested.
A submarine
Don't vanish into thin air!
Director Crawley?
A torpedo.
Did you trade there?
Time and again.
Impossible to get here,
Company territory.
Same here and there.
We'll be shot down
at the first step on earth.
- How about here?
- No.
Here.
Not even in dreams.
Here?
Out of the question.
Company territory ?
The people there think
that the head contains
- Mana.
- Yes.
Mana?
A bit like magic.
They will devour us
As soon as they get the chance.
Perfect! Cannibals.
We don't really have a choice.
If we don't want to starve to death.
I'm sending out scouts.
Miss Lucas, stay here.
Let's not take any chances.
Of course, Captain.
But wouldn't you rather
to keep an eye on me?
What a pleasant surprise.
- We're not hostile.
- You seem slightly hostile.
Is it you?
The prisoners of Kalpani.
Your escape precedes you.
- Aren't you cannibals?
- Not as far as I know.
We hate the Company.
A wise decision.
We need food.
We can barter.
What's this? Are you going to pay with that?
Moor your ship in the harbor,
I'll fill it with provisions.
Why would you do that?
For the enemy of my enemy
is my friend.
Oh no, it's the other way around?
You remind me
of someone I once knew.
The maharajah of Bundelkund.
I met him years ago.
He was my father.
Then you must be
Prince Dakkar?
How did you find out about him?
Do you have some time to spare?
Come to the palace and I'll tell you all about it.
- The palace?
- My chef will prepare a meal for you.
And you're sure to be delighted
Refresh yourself.
Your Highness,
we could eat.
I don't think so.
Wash up.
- Wear other clothes.
- No.
Aren't we following the blue magician?
Either.
My name is Humility Lucas.
This man is holding me prisoner.
Is this true?
I saved his life.
Really?
He sank the ship
that was taking me to Bombay
and holds me in his submarine.
If you want to help me,
My friends in high places
will be very grateful.
- Your friends?
- She kidnapped me too.
It's going to be a lot of fun!
My proposal still stands.
Dismissed!
Pleased to meet you.
Here we go.
Lord Algernon Pitt?
The principal shareholder
of the company. Your fiancé?
He thinks so, yes.
May I assume
that this is not your choice?
You can assume that, indeed.
Would you prefer
Continue my instruction.
And you're doing the right thing, Miss Lucas.
The world needs
educated women.
Look at the mess created
By these so-called educated men.
Exactly.
Where do you want to go?
In America.
America?
If Europe refuses to educate me,
I'll go elsewhere
To become an engineer.
And build a new world.
I was hoping
you could intervene.
Maybe I can help.
A Clipper calls here
to destination
in Manila.
You can then sail
to San Diego
or San Francisco, but until then,
Welcome to my humble abode.
I didn't have that in mind.
What's your name?
Amaal, mademoiselle.
Amaalmademoiselle?
That's a funny name.
Could you do me a favor?
Yes, it's unusual.
How are you feeling?
- Myself again.
- All right, then.
- Are you hungry?
- Starving.
Don't touch a woman!
You'll never escape me.
Apparently.
- We were about to have dinner.
- Sounds great.
I'm starving.
- We'll send up some food.
- Steak.
Rare.
I wonder
What a delight they are to the palate.
Sea trout.
Lobster.
Just soup
or something like that.
I don't trust him.
The Nautilus will dock.
He offers us provisions,
we need it.
It's not about eating.
Right?
No squid?
Eventually, I got tired of it.
Delicious.
What the
A marvel, isn't it?
The first ice-maker.
You know,
I'm also a keen engineer.
And now..,
I want to know all about the Nautilus.
I'm afraid I
to do it justice.
Ask Benoît,
he designed it.
Alongside Nemo.
Nemo Dakkar?
- Is he really a prince?
- He used to be.
What do you think of him?
Stubborn.
Enraged.
A closed book.
That makes sense.
What do you mean?
Don't you know?
They killed his wife and daughter.
The Company seized his land
while he was studying in England.
His wife put up a good fight,
I'm told.
But when Nemo returned,
it was too late.
They were dead.
His daughter was
8 or 9, if I'm not mistaken.
Nemo was
Arrested and imprisoned.
They took everything from him.
Captain, please.
I can help you.
I can help.
Will you take care of it?
Do you inspect and load?
Stand guard.
No one gets on board, no one.
Welcome.
Clean clothes for all
in the entrance on the left.
I'm glad you've changed your mind.
A stowaway.
From the Company. Do you welcome him?
Prince Dakkar,
your desires are orders.
Keep moving!
Gentlemen.
These lands were a wasteland
When I arrived.
I cleared the jungle
with my own hands.
Has the Company granted you
your independence?
They dream of taking her away from me.
Like the Dutch.
So how do you survive?
Very simple, my dear friend.
I pit them against each other.
Miss Lucas tells me you're a brilliant
a brilliant man of science.
I think Miss Lucas
Would you like to see my library?
I have the original manuscript of
"Kosmos", by Alexander Von Humboldt.
This won't take long. Just follow me.
My library.
Very impressive.
You must see this.
My most precious possession.
This is William Dampier's diary.
- I've never read it.
- Fascinating stuff.
Please excuse me.
Make yourself at home.
Food,
from the rajah.
About time.
Do they eat lobster?
They sure do.
Maggots!
The rajah
trapped us.
We have to warn Nemo.
I'm off.
You look like a boring genius.
And you, to a walking carpet.
You couldn't resist?
That's why you're here.
Your father.
I only met him once,
in London.
In London?
Impossible,
he's never been to England.
Really?
Very fresh.
Perfect.
It didn't take long
Before I left
the Compagnie des Indes.
If I'm not mistaken,
Isn't that your father?
That's the one.
The headquarters of the
on Marksbury Street.
Through the window,
you can see London.
What was he doing there?
He came for the signing.
The signature?
I don't
My poor friend.
You don't know.
What don't I know?
Your father ceded his land
to the Company.
Your land, I presume.
So that when she dies,
they have full rights.
Legally,
they can't claim their land
in the absence of an heir.
This means
That he had to disown you.
Didn't he tell you?
He wouldn't do that.
Here's the proof.
It's just a photograph.
Maybe so.
You're right.
You tell me.
Your father sent you
to England as a child, didn't he?
How many times have you seen him?
Have you spoken to him?
How well did you know him?
I'm so sorry.
Come on. Let's get you something to eat.
Let's get you something to eat.
Atlantis.
Where are the ice cubes?
There are none, sir.
No ice?
- The machine is broken.
- What else?
Get the engineer.
Sir, you had him executed.
Really?
Lord.
Just the person I need!
I have an engineering challenge
for you.
Yes, follow me.
I knew it all along.
- What's up?
- We're the same, you and me.
Noble blood.
My father is Lord Farley.
I'm going to England
to find him.
Take a look.
My family crest.
My mother drew it
the night she died.
So I set sail.
To London.
Excuse me.
It's quite embarrassing.
I had no idea
they would respond so quickly.
- Why the charade?
- I beg your pardon?
All that false hospitality.
The Company makes a fine offer.
It's a counter-offer.
I rejected the first one.
10,000 pounds sterling
for our capture, that's a lot of money.
Don't flatter yourself.
It's for the Nautilus.
You could have imprisoned us.
Do you know
How boring is it around here?
But all good things
come to an end.
The Company will be here within the hour.
They want you alive.
I never travel alone.
Kai, welcome! Sit down, eat.
Where's Nemo?
I have no idea, do you?
Something's wrong.
Their provisions
are all spoiled.
Here, all the food is good,
help yourself.
Taste the strawberries, a real treat.
Enough is enough!
- What is it?
- The cakes!
It's a pie.
But you're right.
- My turn for jelly.
- Jagadish!
- The soldiers are hungry.
- Don't worry.
We need to build up our strength
to prepare for battle.
No, they're just words.
And you know it.
They are worthless without action.
Where's the food?
Amaal?
Sorry about that.
The Company should be back soon.
I'm sure you'll feel
you'll feel right at home in Kalpani.
I don't suppose
I shouldn't criticize you?
I beg your pardon?
I'm a Company man.
Pure strain.
You wouldn't want them to find
one of their own in prison?
This is not normal.
We look forward to seeing you.
Please follow me.
You're safe.
Everyone, come on.
Go ahead, eat.
Miss Lucas,
this is not a good idea.
They're hungry.
They toiled in the boiler room.
Go ahead, Amaal, it's all right.
What does this mean?
Are you in charge?
No, it was me.
These are my guests.
Give them
the same welcome as mine.
Please help yourself.
You're not the one who'll be shot.
It's good, isn't it?
What's next?
Eat up!
Eat up!
Stop it!
She's sorry, please.
I'm his father.
Punish me instead.
I intend to.
I protest!
Are you protesting?
Really? How boring.
Stop them!
Ungrateful troublemakers.
Don't just stand there.
Obey!
That's what they do.
They pit us
against each other.
Are you finished? Pitiful.
We're not your enemies.
But he is.
You are prisoners,
Like us in Kalpani.
Stop it.
You have to claim your freedom.
They're not going to give it to you.
Don't let them
exploit your children.
Let him disappear from my sight.
The rajah lives on your blood.
Your sweat and tears.
This is your land! It's your home!
- Quiet! Quiet!
- Seize her!
- With full hands.
- Let him go!
He's right.
And you know it.
Who's with me?
What are you playing at?
I'm warning you, my boy
Are you ready to die for him?
What a stupid question.
Of course it is.
You'll all hang.
What are you going to do? Kill me?
Nobody's going to kill me!
Put on your little clock.
This game is stupid, I love it.
Glad to see
you're having a great time!
The Company is on its way.
Nemo is in a cell.
In the basement.
Where are you going?
Don't be afraid.
If not fear itself.
Fire at will!
Quickly, quickly!
Ranbir! Ranbir!
Go with the kids.
- What about you?
- Go! Hurry!
Now!
Let's get them out of here.
Come on, quickly.
Come on, this way.
What's going on?
I may have inadvertently
inadvertently caused a small problem.
What do you mean by that?
The crew is shot at.
- I'll be fine.
- Will it?
We have to get out of here.
You too?
Doesn't the rajah want to help you anymore?
I discovered his true face.
- The old world won't change.
- I knew it wouldn't.
And you know all about it?
Let's not quarrel.
All right.
All right.
It's not that easy.
Where did you get that?
How are you?
Yes, I'm fine. I'm fine!
You've done it!
You've done it!
You control your freedom!
We're the people's soldiers!
We'll never put him down!
- Let's take the palace.
- Shall we?
Let's take the rajah's palace!
Let's go!
Let's find another way out.
I see.
Go after them!
You are the liberators!
This is your moment!
- Let's cut off their communications.
- Let's get on with it.
Thank you.
What are you doing here?
The rajah communicates
with the Company.
Not for much longer.
You sent this.
We should alert the Company.
Tell them I'm defeated?
Call for reinforcements.
Mercenaries.
Their price will be mine.
Thank you for coming back for me.
Did you just thank me?
We're off!
The provisions were spoiled.
All the food.
Get out of the way!
Get out of the way!
Get out of the way!
Clear the way! Clear the way!
The wheel!
Jump in!
We didn't lose everything.
How are you?
You don't care.
What's that?
Let's go!
And Jagadish?
Broken.
And you!
You're the idiot in charge
All this mess!
Nothing will stop them now.
Let's negotiate a surrender?
We have no choice.
Your Grace?
There's always a choice.
Bring him in.
As a bargaining chip.
It's shallow.
We're going to have a hard time maneuvering.
Let's make haste!
Take a look! Over there!
Nemo!
He's the one who gave me the key.
Have you seen Jagadish?
He was apprehended by the guards.
I couldn't save him.
Let's wait a little longer.
He's one of us.
Without him, we'd be in jail.
If we don't leave, we're finished.
Fire up the engines!
Batten down the hatches!
