  • There’s Someone Here

    There’s Someone Here
    Oct 11 2022
    In Beneath’s series premiere, the book-smart, reticent DR. CALEB PEELS, a professor of ancient religion, has been recruited by the eccentric billionaire and adventurer SIMON BELL and finds himself on a sea-tossed research vessel bound for the Titanic wreckage. Caleb has been hired to decipher the mysterious writings of his own great uncle, who drowned on Titanic. Bell is convinced the journal will lead them to an incredible discovery - three priceless Babylonian artifacts. On the research vessel Caleb meets the salty first mate SUE TELIT, the gruff submarine pilot G.L. BENSON, the bubble-gum popping young diver NOEL, and the determined and alluring marine biologist DR. KATE WHEELER. As the weather turns dangerous, Simon Bell, Benson, Noel, and Kate load into the state-of-the-art CETO submarine and make the difficult journey to the ocean floor. Caleb remains with Sue monitoring the mission (and an approaching hurricane) from the Mosby Topside. Once there, Noel suits up and heads deep into the Titanic wreckage. As the others listen on the radio, Noel encounters an unspeakable horror. Binge listen to Beneath early and ad-free exclusively with Wondery+.

    In episode two of Beneath, with Noel in peril, Kate suits up and heads into the wreckage to bring her back to the sub. When the sub communications get scrambled, Caleb guides Kate from Topside. Tensions continue to rise on the sub between Benson and Simon while a storm brews on the ocean surface, forcing Sue to make hasty calls to keep everyone safe both topside on the Mosby and down below on the CETO. Kate discovers Noel alive, but wrapped in a strange cocoon and gripping a dagger-like scepter. The first artifact. On the way back to the sub, Noel regains consciousness and screams that she can see the dead passengers from Titanic all around her. Her haunting visions lead her to take disastrous steps.

    Back on the sub, Kate, Benson, and Simon Bell try and untangle the events that lead to Noel’s death. The hurricane worsens topside and prevents the CETO crew from ascending to the Mosby. Simon insists that they attempt to go back into the Titanic while they are stuck below anyway. Kate’s findings from her traumatic dive lead her to support Simon despite their very different reasons for wanting to return to the Titanic. Against Benson’s wishes, Kate returns to the Titanic to retrieve further samples of the mysterious substance she found with Noel. While on Titanic, Kate discovers the second artifact - a diamond encrusted skull - but is nearly killed in the process. With Caleb’s help, she escapes only to find there has been a violent disaster with Bell and Benson on the sub. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
