Here are today's stories.
There's big news at city hall,

3
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:13,880
where the mayor's dog has given birth
to a litter of puppies.

4
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:17,000
Mother and pups are doing fine.

5
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:21,320
Poor Uncle G.
The news has been slow lately.

6
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,760
You want real news? How about this?

7
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:29,720
Earthquakes are caused by aliens
building underground bases

8
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,000
to take over the world.

9
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,920
That's the most ridiculous thing
I've heard.

10
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,040
Then why is this book
called <i>The Truth About Aliens?</i>

11
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:44,360
Ugh. Come on. That book preys on
the irrational fears of gullible people.

12
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:45,640
[all] Huh?

13
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:51,560
Of course you'd say that.
It says that aliens brainwashed us

14
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,960
so we don't believe in them.

15
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,160
-What is it?
-News.

16
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:57,440
Uncle G.

17
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,240
-Maybe somebody had kittens.
-Hey.

18
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:02,200
Breaking news.

19
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:09,440
In the Arctic, melting of ice
is raising ocean levels worldwide.

20
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,880

is under serious threat.

so fast that we'd get sick.

You said it's a disaster.
We've got to get there fast.

33
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:10,400
The ice melt occurred off the coast
of an area inhabited by an Inuit tribe.

-[man] Welcome to the top of the world.
-Greetings, chief.

48
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:27,240
-We are honored by your visit.
-Oh, why do I have to wear this thing?

49
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,640
I can barely move.

50
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:35,640
It's freezing. The only reason we can
be here is because of our polar suits.

51
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,760
-What can you tell us about the ice melt?
-Nothing.

52
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,640
When we woke up, the ice had melted.

53
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:46,120
The water level had risen so high,
it flooded our igloos.

54
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,600
We had to rebuild
at the foot of the glacier.

55
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,280
If the water rises any more,
we are done for.

56
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,480
-So are the coastal cities of the world.
-It could be global warming.

57
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:02,400
If that's melting the ice, air
temperature needs to be above freezing.

58
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:07,800
Yes. It'll take months of warm
temperatures to melt an iceberg like that.

59
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:26,720
I checked the records. It's Arctic summer,
the warmest time of the year.

60
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,120
Summer? I knew it.

61
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,280
Arctic summer is still cold.

62
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,800
-So, what's causing the ice to melt?

[shivering]

64
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,240
If the melting isn't a natural phenomenon,
that means--

65
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,000
Aliens. It's gotta be aliens.

66
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,440
I need to see
what the book says about this.

67
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:56,720
[Geronimo] Careful, Thea.

68
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,280
It's stable enough to walk on.

69
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,520
I can't believe this is all
that's left of the iceberg.

70
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:06,840
Let's look around.

71
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:12,600
Huh?

72
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:15,840

73
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,440
This is a catastrophe.

74
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:26,920
Polar ice is crucial. The ice
reflects the sun's rays like a mirror.

75
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,240
Preventing Earth from getting too hot.

76
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:37,760
So, without the ice,
the Earth will keep getting warmer?

77
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,440
I knew it. It's right here on page 76.

78
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:48,000
An alien monster laid billions of eggs
under the polar ice.

79
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,240
Hatching eggs are what's melting the ice.

80
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:59,280
Right below us, billions of aliens
are getting ready to invade.

81

83
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:11,600
Hm... There's fresh snow.
If the iceberg melted from the top,

84
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,720
the snow would've melted first.

85
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,920
Whatever's melting it is underneath.

86
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:21,640
How do we know what melted
the iceberg won't melt the whole thing?

87
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:23,240
Huh?

[Ben] Come on!

00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,800
We've got to find out
what's under the icebergs.

Switching to submarine mode.

93
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:08,760
This is a mystery. I can't fathom
what's triggering the melting.

94
00:07:09,280 --> 00:07:11,440
[Ben] Check it out, Uncle G.

95
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,720
[Geronimo] Yes. Nature in all her glory.

96
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,040
Polar cod, squid, ringed seals.

97
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:23,840
-Whoa, look at that. A whale.
-More precisely, Benjamin, a blue whale.

98
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:25,800
A blue whale?

99
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,480

-I'm going to bed, too.
-You can't.

It's middle of the afternoon. [gasps]

104
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,440
Or have aliens stopped
the Earth's rotation?

105
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,640
It is night.
But at the top of the world

106
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,600
during the Arctic summer,
the sun doesn't set.

107
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,080
Arctic summer lasts six months.

108
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:58,400
Hm...

109
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,040
I like it. My diet says
no snacking at night.

110
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,840
I'm good to go for six months.

111
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:16,200
-You're not going to bed?
-I've got reading to do about blue whales.

112
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,160
How can you think about whales

113
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,720
when an alien army's
breathing down our necks?

114
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,040
Come on, Trap.

115
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,840
There's no proof that aliens exist.

116
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:31,720
Oh, no? I'd say icebergs melting
like cheese fondue is proof enough for me.

117
00:08:40,680 --> 00:08:42,360
Morning, Uncle G.

118
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,640
Did you find what you were looking for,
about the whales?

119
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:49,120
I did, Benjamin,
something very interesting.

120
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,960
Blue whales live in oceans
all over except the far North,

121
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,000
-where we are now.
-So, you think...?

122
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,720
I'm not sure,
we'll find out when we go there.

123
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,480
Two icebergs remain
in this part of the Arctic Ocean,

124
00:09:09,560 --> 00:09:13,040
and we don't know
what's causing them to melt.

125

<i>that a blue whale</i>

126
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,880
<i>is at the heart of the mystery.</i>
<i>More on this story as it develops.</i>

127
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,200
<i>Reporting live, this is Geronimo Stilton.</i>

128
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,880
If I'm correct,
the blue whale will return.

129
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,640
Correct. Look.

130
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:41,720
Geronimo was right. There she blows.

131
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,400
So, you admit it's not an alien?

132
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:50,560
What are you talking about?
This proves it. The whale is an alien.

134
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:07,120

Oh, no!

Quick. The life raft.

I can't believe it.

146
00:11:13,680 --> 00:11:16,960
It gobbled them up whole.

147
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,440
Cough them up, you alien whale.

148
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:27,880
Look at this net. I'm no whale expert,
but how many are painted?

149
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,040
Ten, 100? I'm not an expert either.

150
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,720
No. I'm saying they weren't
eaten by a whale.

00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,840
-They were captured by a--
-Alien mothership!

before the aliens eat their brains.

Where are we?

155
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,440
Hm! Not the belly of a whale, for sure.

-Crunchrat.

158
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:23,240
Pity we met this way,
but I saw your newscast,

159
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:29,040
and couldn't let you ruin my plan.
How'd you know this wasn't a real whale?

160
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,640
You may be a successful businessman,
but you've got a lot to learn

161
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,680
when it comes to biology.

162
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,840
There are no blue whales this far north.

163
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,440
Oh, it doesn't matter.

164
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,840
You're too late. I'm almost done melting

165
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,520
this part of the so-called
permanent ice of the Arctic.

166
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:52,600
-How are you doing this?
-Who knows? Some science-y thing.

167
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:57,640
I'm a big-picture mouse.
I don't sweat the details.

168
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,560
I've got a guy for that.
Come on. I'll show you.

169
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:08,840
-Say hello to our guests, professor.
-Cheesewheel?

170
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,600
Thinking of my robotic friend, Cheeves,

171
00:13:11,680 --> 00:13:16,560
Cheesewheel's attempt
to steal the Camembert Airship was foiled.

172
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:21,680
Geronimo Stilton, we meet again.

173
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,000
You two are working together?

174
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,760
With my money and his big brain,

175
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:32,320
there's no stopping us. Stilton wants
to know how you melt the ice burgers.

176
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,360
Icebergs.

177
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,280
-Whatever.
-It's simple, really.

178
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:43,760
I've developed a super-heating laser,
and mounted it on the front of the sub.

179
00:14:04,680 --> 00:14:08,680
I'll teach those Martians
not to kidnap my cousins.

180
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,960
You don't know how to operate
the Metamouse, do you?

181
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:17,120
Sure, I do.
I've watched Thea lots of times. [screams]

182
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:20,600
[both yelling]

183
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:28,720
Sweet, huh?

184
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:34,760
-Don't you understand what you're doing?
-Oh, that I do understand.

185
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:39,760
I bought a couple million acres
of mountainside property

186
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:44,800
all over the world,
which I will sell at an enormous profit

187
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:49,200
-as beachfront property.
-That doesn't make sense.

188
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:53,000
-There are no beaches in the mountains.
-Not yet.

189
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:59,240
Once we're done,
they'll be the only beaches in the world.

190
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,360
[laughing diabolically]

191
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:06,840
-Professor, why are you involved?
-For the scientific challenge.

192
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,520
No one has ever done anything
like this before.

193
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:14,920
-I could be the first.
-Enough of the chitchat.

194
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,640
Put them in the brig.

195
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:26,160
[both yelling]

196
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,840
[Trap]
This isn't helping my seasickness.

197
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,880
Can't you make it stop spinning?

198
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,360
I don't know how.

199
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:41,600
I wish I didn't have that second helping
at breakfast.

200
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,000
[yelling]

201
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:55,240
Uh-oh!

202
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,600
Where's the emergency brake?

203
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,320
There isn't one!

204
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:20,520
-Good job. Now what?
-We can't let them get away.

205
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,120
Hang on tight.

206
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:28,640
[both yell]

207
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,000
You hit it. I could've done that.

208
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:39,080
Come on.

209
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,640
[Geronimo]
I gotta start working out.

210
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:10,720
[panting]

211
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,640
Take this thing to the surface, now.

212
00:17:29,120 --> 00:17:30,520
It's surfacing.

213
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:48,840
Huh? Come on, quick.

214
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,280
Come on, Geronimo.

215
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:02,400
[yells]

216
00:18:05,120 --> 00:18:06,040
Gotcha.

217
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:10,960
[laughs]

218
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,360
Did you see that alien's face?

219
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,160
Talk about scary.

220
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:26,240
-Trap, he's not an--
-Don't bother. It's hopeless.

221
00:18:26,360 --> 00:18:29,760
Crunchrat's sub is faster.
We gotta get away.

222
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:31,840
I'll call the coast guard.

223
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:44,240
Think you can ruin my plan, Stilton?
Heat him up like a can of cheese dip.

224
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,680
[all yelling]

225
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,480
Leave our planet alone!

226
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:23,280
[Crunchrat] Looks like I'll have
the last laugh, Stiltons.

227
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:31,640
Come and get me, Crunchrat.
Take your best shot.

228
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,440
Geronimo, are you out of your mind?

229
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,440
Oh, ho, ho, that's right.

230
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:40,400
You can't do anything.
You've got a guy for it.

231
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,320
I bet you can't hit the side of a barn.

232
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,600
Nobody talks to Crunchrat that way.

233
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,920
Out of the way, Cheesewheel.

234
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,080
Oh, Crunchrat, wait.

235
00:19:55,360 --> 00:19:57,480
When I say "duck," duck.

236
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:00,760
Duck!

237
00:20:02,360 --> 00:20:03,320
Wait, what?

238
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:04,960
[screams]

239
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,640
Did you know it was gonna do that?

240
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:18,440
-Perhaps "hoped" is a better word.
-I get it. Like you said before,

241
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:22,000
the ice reflects the sun's rays
like a mirror.

242
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,000
The glacier reflected the laser.

243
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:29,880
Under water, ice is dark and absorbs rays.
Above, it's white,

244
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,520
so it reflects rays
from the sun or a laser.

245
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:35,640
[coughing]

246
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,760
<i>This is the coast guard.</i>
<i>Surrender immediately.</i>

247
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:44,800
Wait. Where's Crunchrat?

248
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:49,760
He's getting away.

249
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:55,160
It seems. But he won't fool anyone
with that penguin sub.

250
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,440
Everyone knows
penguins inhabit the Antarctic.

251
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,000
[laughing]

252
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,000
[villagers cheering]

253
00:21:03,360 --> 00:21:08,080
From the entire village
and, indeed, the entire planet,

254
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:12,920
-thank you, Geronimo Stilton.
-You're welcome, but don't just thank me.

255
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,240
Benjamin, Thea and Trap
all did their part.

256
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:21,520
So, when you said "duck,"
you meant for us to duck?

257
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,080
You could've been more specific.

258
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:32,240
In the end, the ultra-modern laser was
defeated by a million year-old glacier.

259
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,040
In other words, nature had the last laugh.

260
00:21:35,120 --> 00:21:37,080
To repair the damage,

261
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,800
Cheesewheel promised
to create a refreezing ray,

262
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,360
and never do evil
science experiments again.

263
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:48,160
Reporting live from the Arctic,
this is Geronimo Stilton.

264
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,440
Until next time, be well and be good.

265
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,080
Look, the sun's going down.

266
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:01,880
It's the end of summer. Now the Arctic
winter night will last six months.

267
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:07,680
I'm not supposed to eat at night,
remember? And I'm still hungry.

268
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,000
You're not worried
about aliens anymore, are you?

269
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,080
I don't believe in them.
I'm 100 percent sure

270
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:18,880
there are no such things as aliens,
extraterrestrials or UFOs.

271
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:20,200
[device beeping]

272
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:21,120
[screams]

273
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:22,520
Aliens!

274
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,720
-[chuckles] New ringtone?
-Yep.

275
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:29,720
[all laughing]

276
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,240
[theme music playing]
