01x08 - RMS Republic

[bunniefuu]

[John] Alright. Oh, man,

this is gonna be awesome.

Sure is.

-Alright, I'll catch up with you in a sec.

-OK.

-[John] Hi.

-Aloha.

Sure I can't convince you to come?

Your bag's already packed.

-There's still time to change your mind.

-I'm good.

Come on, the guides told me

there's a giant flower up there

that only blooms every 50 years.

This is once-in-a-lifetime.

You know, you joining me

on work assignments

was supposed to give you

real-world experience.

That's what we agreed on, remember?

I am experiencing the world

through the eyes of four sailors

navigating the Caribbean.

Books are a doorway

into the world, kiddo,

and one day

you'll have to step through it.

Back in a few hours.

Alright, it's gonna be incredible!

[woman] Come on, let's go!

"The missing crown jewels

were lost during the revolution

and have not been seen since."

Is the 6:00 a.m. start and this boat

really necessary?

You know, the deep state isn't listening.

Loose lips sink ships.

Here, keep reading.

"Rumours about the location

of the jewels vary.

Some say that they were smuggled

out of the country,

others say the jewels

were plucked from their settings

and sold on the black market.

Others believe they were hidden

by those loyal to the royal family."

Great, we finally find something priceless

and then we lose it.

We didn't lose it, it was stolen.

Who would have stolen it?

Probably the same person

that planted Lauren's jacket in the water.

Well, it's hardly a coincidence.

What? Am I the only person

willing to say it?

What's a coincidence?

Hmm, that a priceless jewel was stolen

the same week a famous treasure hunter

came to town.

And so the Sultan

stood on his marble throne,

his dogs snapping their jaws,

their hot saliva dripping onto my cheek,

his grip on the chain the only thing

between me and the most certain death.

He whispers to me,

"Mr Komarov, are you ready to die?"

So what did you do?

[grunts] I look him in his eye.

"I'm ready for that final adventure

but today is not that day."

[murmuring]

[clears throat]

[man] What happened next?

Well, little did he know,

I had spent winter

working with Tibetan sheepherders

and I had those hounds under my thumb

the moment our eyes locked.

[woman] Of course you did.

I was back across the border

with the rare golden albatross

before the sun rose.

[applause]

You around for the Salvation Day Festival?

Of course. I wouldn't miss it.

Not even for the golden albatross?

Not even if it had rubies for eyes.

[chuckles]

Dobroye utro.

This is what you came here for, isn't it?

This is what Lauren found.

You're looking for

the Russian crown jewels,

and you think they're in Cape Mercy.

Hmm.

Well, we're going to need

more cookies.

[theme music]

[jaunty string music]

And so it is important to understand

that the Romanovs were chased

out of Russia by an angry kingdom.

No-one survived, none, but one.

It is rumoured that the youngest daughter,

Princess Anastasia,

just barely made it out with her life.

I believe she made it to Cape Mercy

on that Russian wreck

and I believe she brought

the Russian crown jewels with her.

There are four missing jewels.

The midnight brooch,

the meridien necklace

the nightingale bracelet

and the most valuable of all,

the royal sapphire crown.

The midnight brooch,

that was on Lauren's wetsuit.

Da.

And that you wear on your jacket, Maddie.

That's why you thought I was Lauren.

It is important to understand

these jewels have untold value,

and untold value attracts untold evil.

We must be careful.

The search for these treasures

has taken me all around the world,

chasing whispers and stories

through the wilds of Madagascar

and the fjords of Norway,

and finally to Cape Mercy.

It would be an honour

to see the midnight brooch

and possibly hold it in my hands.

If you please.

[groans]

You lost it?!

Um, we didn't lose it, it was stolen.

Well, I did not think you would leave it

lying around pinned to a

[clicks fingers]

[speaks Russian]

-Jacket.

-Jacket!

It wasn't always pinned to a jacket.

Yeah, sometimes we left it

in a large bowl.

What?

[sighs]

I saw it. I saw it on the jacket.

That's OK, they don't know.

I don't make a big fuss. No problem.

We talk in private.

Nine years of research!

And then Lauren found it

with a high school education

and one dive, so

calm down.

[grunts]

And a little communication

wouldn't go astray.

Yeah, yeah, communication, Leonid.

-[growls]

-Mmm.

-[growls]

-Mmm.

[growls]

[Maddie clears her throat]

OK, Leo, do you think that the rest

of the jewels are also in Cape Mercy too?

Well, I think it likely.

-On the shipwreck.

-Da.

[sighs]

Or lost under the waves

with the sharks and the fishes.

[jaunty piano music]

So, I believe the Russian wreck

is 'The Standart',

the royal yacht

used by the Romanov family.

I spoke to my good friend

Pavel Tolstoy,

currently investigating your coin

across his network of contacts.

He also sent me these satellite images

of your wreck.

It appears that the wreck is upright,

with damage on the starboard side

where the engine was ruptured by the reef.

We enter there,

travelling through the central corridor

and into the princess's state room.

The royal jewels were kept

in a small chest like this.

So this is the chest we're looking for?

-Da.

-'We'?

Da.

-Leo

-Da!

would you mind if

if we just

-Oh, you would like to talk in private?

-Mmm, yeah. Yeah.

-No worries. OK.

-Cool.

[Leonid clears his throat]

[seagull calls]

It's fine.

I'm only the most famous adventurer

in all the world,

but they need time to think it over.

Eta tak razdrazhayet!

What do we think?

Whoever planted Lauren's jacket

must want everyone to believe

she disappeared in the storm.

That same person broke into the clubhouse,

stole the brooch.

Why go through all the effort to make

Lauren's death look like an accident

and then blatantly ransack the place?

-They didn't even try and hide it.

-Maybe they wanted us to know.

They obviously mean business.

We have to assume

they want the jewels too.

Well, then,

we have to get to the wreck first.

Let's do it.

What?

I am tired of being told

that the world is the way it is

and that we just have to put up with it.

No more! I am done!

No more.

No more.

Izzie?

We know that you didn't know Lauren,

and this is really dangerous.

There's no shame in being scared.

-Stevie.

-She's right.

I'm terrified.

But I'll do it anyway.

We're in.

Hmm.

I wanna, I wanna, I wanna ♪

[laughs]

[hums]

-I'm just

I can't help it ♪

I can't tell you how much I try to ♪

[Camille continues singing]

[gentle knocking]

[gentle piano music]

[Izzie laughs]

[Harry chuckles]

-So what are you doing?

-Stocking up.

Yeah, Hayden bailed on me, so

the marina's in dire need of everything.

-I don't want to rush things.

-I know.

But I want to see you again.

Look, I was thinking that maybe,

you know, you'd like

Yes, Izzie?

[laughs]

Um, take a bike ride

with

Hayden!

Hayden?

-You know

-Yeah, OK.

see how he's going.

-Yeah, thanks. Yeah.

-Yeah. See ya.

[sighs]

[theme music]

[boat engine roars]

[oxygen hisses]

So how do shark deterrent bands

work exactly?

Sharks have a seventh sense.

Scientists can't really explain it,

but sharks can sense electricity

the same way that we can sense smell

and change in temperature.

That band sends out an electronic pulse

that they don't like.

[sighs] Let's hope it works.

Izzie, you'll wear a hole

through the floor.

Don't worry, we got you, OK?

You're one of us now.

100 years ago, a brave young woman

stowed the treasures of her family

on this ship.

A few weeks ago,

another brave young woman

became steward of that treasure.

Today we will remain calm and clear-headed

to honour them both.

Godspeed.

[eerie music]

[music intensifies]

[eerie music]

[metal groans]

[suspenseful music]

[whimsical music]

[dramatic music]

[suspenseful music]

[music intensifies]

[thud]

[quiet music]

[heavy breathing]

[Maddie] Is he OK? Get his hood off, Anna!

[Izzie] What happened down there?

[Maddie] I don't know. He was knocked out

when we found him.

-[Izzie] Leonid. Leonid!

-What do we do?

Maddie, call for help.

I think it's a head injury.

-Who was that?

-I don't know. They were already inside.

Must've been after

the same thing we were.

Hey, Leonid. Leonid, can you hear me?

[pants]

Mayday, mayday, mayday.

This is Maddie Pollard

aboard the 'Valentina'.

We have a serious head injury

and require an ambulance.

Heading back to Cape Mercy marina now.

[Anna] Can you hear me?

[man over radio] Copy that, 'Valentina'.

We'll have medics standing by.

[Izzie] His pulse is slow.

We need to get him back.

OK, try taking some deep breaths.

You're gonna be OK.

[Stevie] Um, guys

-Whoa.

-Oh, wow.

[whimsical music]

The meridien necklace.

Stevie, bright star, you found it.

Leonid, you were right,

it's Princess Anastasia's ship.

Remember, you must

-Leonid!

-Leonid! Leonid!

No, no, no, stay with us.

[siren]

He's gonna be OK.

-Anna, what has happened?

-Is everyone OK?

-Who's in the ambulance?

-Um

[Renee] What's going on here?

Oh, my stars. Is that Leonid Komarov?

The treasure hunter.

What's he doing in Cape Mercy?

[whispers] Don't say anything.

What on earth have you girls been up to?

His vitals are good,

but there appears to be cranial swelling.

We're gonna have to do some further scans.

Is anyone coming?

-I'll go.

-Where are you taking him?

Cape Mercy Clinic.

[scoffs] He'd be better off at a vet.

I'll go.

Call Dr. Montgomery,

have him meet us there

and we'll have him transferred

to our house.

[engine starts]

We just had one memorial.

Do you want to have another one?

You know you're not meant to dive there.

[all argue]

Izzie, what happened?

-Dad, he's a professional diver. We just--

-I don't care who he is.

Renee, is this what you let your children

get up to,

running off with strangers

to dive forbidden sites?

No, it is not.

In fact, I'm instituting an immediate halt

on all Dive Club activities indefinitely.

Consider yourselves landlocked.

Great.

[thunder rumbles]

Great!

[sombre music]

[thunder rumbles]

[thunder cracks]
