Written by James Dormer
Directed by Michael Matthews

Nemo and his fellow inmates at Kalpani Penal Colony are the slave labourers on a 300ft long ironclad submarine — Nautilus. Once finished, Nemo and a crack crew will escape on it. But when Director Crawley arrives to demand the Nautilus be moved to Bombay to be armed — today — Nemo must leave. Now. With whoever he can muster as crew.

Kalpani Penal Colony, Arabian Sea. 1857. Nemo and his fellow inmates are the slave labourers on a 300ft long ironclad submarine — Nautilus. Once finished, Nemo and a crack crew will escape on it. But when Director Crawley arrives to demand the Nautilus be moved to Bombay to be armed — today — Nemo must leave. Now. With whoever he can muster as crew.

Crawley is held at gunpoint and the Nautilus is untethered. On the open sea, they encounter The Ceylon, which could give away their location. Nemo rams the ship. Humility, a privileged daughter of the British empire, her fiery French maid, Loti — entrusted to deliver Humility to an arranged marriage in Bombay — and powder boy Blaster are moved to the Nautilus, while Crawley and The Ceylon’s Captain Youngblood are set adrift.

Low on food and water, Benoit determines to make repairs in the Gulf of Kutch, then hand the Nautilus to the French. But Nemo says that won’t happen until they reach the Pillars of Halvar in the Northern Seas, where a Norse queen was buried with priceless treasures. Benoit says the burial ground is a myth, that no one has ever returned, but there is another reason Nemo wants the Nautilus, which only Benoit knows.

Crawley and Youngblood make it to Bombay, where they are given another secret weapon — The Dreadnought — bristling with firepower, to pursue Nemo. On the Nautilus, the power cuts out. They’re sinking. Humility has the solution — to pump air into the ballast. But it’s the air they are breathing. The quicker they crank, the less they can breathe…
