[Music] Reporting for my training exercise, Captain. Very good, Peso. The Guppy is ready. Cap, thanks. Tweak, now let's go over the practice plan one more time. First, I pilot the Guppy through the Twilight Zone, all the way down into the Midnight Zone. I, the darkest place on Earth, a place so deep that the sun can't shine there. Oh, I know it's always nighttime in the Midnight Zone, but you can hit that button to turn on the super bright lights, right? Then, after I get to the Midnight Zone, I land on the seabed and come right back up as fast as I can. You get to go to the Midnight Zone by yourself, Captain? I volunteer to go on this training exercise with him. Peso has to do this alone. Quasi, I have to learn to make the trip to the Midnight Zone by myself so that I can help the animals who live there. A medic helps any creature who is hurt or sick, no matter what. Well, watch out for the vampire squid while you're down there. The vampire squid? What's that? A creature of the Midnight Zone, that's for sure. He wears a big cape covered in sharp spikes. His eyes glow in the dark. He squirts a horrible slime, and he lives in a haunted castle in the deepest, darkest part of the Midnight. Don't worry, Peso, there are a lot of strange creatures down there, but no haunted castles. Now, let's begin. Ready, Captain? Tweak, open the Octo-Hatch, please. You got it, Peso.
[Music] You're doing great. Just keep those flippers steady on the helm. Flippers steady, Captain. It's really dark now, and I'm not even close to the bottom. Oh, that's [Music] better. What's that sound? All I have to do is touch down at the bottom and come back up as fast as I can. That sound again. [Music] I, I made it by myself. All alone. All right, time to go. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Are you hurt? Yes, and nobody cares. Oh, I care. Hold on, Peso. To Octopod. Peso to Octopod. I found a creature in the Midnight Zone who needs help. Repeat, I found a creature in the Midnight Zone who needs help. Octopod to Peso, come in, Peso. [Music] Sorry, Captain. Sometimes the radio doesn't work very well way down in the Midnight Zone. Keep trying, Dashie. A medic helps any creature who is hurt or sick, no matter what. [Music] What seems to be the problem? Um, excuse me. Wait. Don't be afraid. I'm here to help. Captain, I've lost contact with Peso. He could need our help. Was Quasi sound the Octo-Alert? Octonauts to the launch bay! [Applause] [Music] Octonauts, we've lost contact with Peso in the Midnight Zone. Captain, I'm ready to go after him. Right. The Duck-B is ready to go. [Music] Please, I can help you feel better. I'm a medic. I help any creature who is hurt or sick. Really? Yes. Oh my, your eyes glow in the dark. Those aren't my eyes. Those are just a couple of lights I have on the top of my head. I can turn them off when I want to. Oh, so those are your eyes. Well, it helps to have big eyes when you need to see in the dark. Oh, where does it hurt? It's one of my spikes. Oh, spikes. I don't see any spikes. Just like the vampire squid. It feels like it's near the top. See it? I see it. It looks like it's poking you. Oh, so do you think you can help me? Yes, I have just the thing to make it as good as new. What are you going to do with those things? They're just tweezers. I'll use them to straighten out the spike. Oh no, it'll hurt even more. I promise I'll be very gentle. Promise, promise. Uh-huh. Are you all right? Ah, I'm fine. Never bear. Are you all right? I think I was just slimed by the vampire squid. The vampire squid! A fast trail of slime. Stand back! I'll go after him. Wait! He's hurt. He needs our help. Are you okay, Quasi? Can you hear me? There's no answer. Tweak, I need to go after them. I'll get the ready, Cap. [Music] What's that? That's the vampire squid. Stay back! He's hurt. He's easily frightened, so please follow me and stay quiet and calm. All right, matey, but I'm ready to pounce if I have to. Don't be afraid. No surprises this time. Promise, promise. [Music] Peso! Quasi! [Music] Are you two all right? We've been slimed by a vampire squid. I've got to help him. He's hurt. Captain, the vampire squid is easily scared. It'll be much better if I go after him by myself. All right, Peso, we're here if you need us. [Music] Please don't swim away. It's just me, Peso. I'm too tired to move, and my spike hurts more than ever. You've had quite a scare. Hmm. [Music] Oh my spike, it feels better. Good as new. You fixed it. You're amazing. Just doing my job. Here's a sticker for being such a brave patient. Would you like to meet my friends now? I don't know. They're not as scary as they seem, I promise. Come on. Okay. Captain Barnacles, Quasi, I'd like to introduce you to my friend, the vampire squid. Where's your cape covered in spikes? You mean this? This is not a cape. It's a webbing between my tentacles, and it helps me hide when I'm scared. And when I'm really scared. Sorry, Octonauts, I got a little carried away. Anyway, thank you for fixing my spike. Goodbye. Bye. Farewell. That was a lot more than a training exercise today, Peso. Good work. Just doing my job, Captain. A medic helps any creature who is hurt or sick, even if it does mean getting slimed. [Laughter] [Music]
