Short filmTranscript
00:00The species that came before us was woken up.
00:03The Unified Intelligence Task Force was created to deal with alien life forms.
00:08I haven't got clearance. I'm grade 10. I work in transport. I'm a clerk.
00:13The first official meeting with Homo Aqua will begin here.
00:17My name is Kate Lethbridge-Stewart, Commander-in-Chief of the Unified Intelligence Task Force.
00:23And I hope this will be the start of a great endeavor to find peace.
00:27We have a gift for you, my children.
00:30But they choked on your oil and poison and excrement.
00:35I must state that we recognize the problems.
00:37You are not known to us. We would speak with him.
00:57You are not known to us.
00:58We'll be in quite a moment.
01:02I am not known to us.
01:33With me, please, sir.
01:39I suggest that this, um, meeting is adjourned while we, uh, follow me, while we regroup.
01:50His name's Barclay P.L. Dupont. He's a grade 10, works in logistics.
01:54Family.
01:55Ex-wife and teenage child.
01:56Bring them in, put them in an interview room. I want his file on my screen by the time I get downstairs.
02:03Kate Lethbridge-Stewart.
02:05Yeah, and now I'll book your taxes.
02:07Sit down.
02:10We weren't expecting this, obviously.
02:14Me either.
02:15So help me understand. Out of nearly 8 billion humans on this planet, why do Homo aqua want you as ambassador?
02:22I don't know.
02:23What communications have you had with Homo aqua prior to today?
02:26None. Never.
02:28I mean, I had a goldfish once. Is that relevant?
02:32This isn't a joke, Mr. Dupont.
02:33I'm not joking. He was called Simon.
02:37Right now, a team of experts are trawling through every detail of your private life.
02:42Every text message, every email, every photo, everyone you've ever met.
02:47Barclay P.L. Dupont, born 151182. Get me his immediate family.
02:50Yes, ma'am.
02:53Parents deceased. Married Barbara Nyumai, June 2003. Divorced November 2022. Split was amicable.
03:00Whatever he's done, we're not part of it. We're not even together.
03:06Tina's child, Kirby, 16, lives with the mother studying A-levels.
03:11Seize all devices and bring them in for questioning right now.
03:13My family have got nothing to do with this.
03:17They don't even know I'm here. I never asked for this to happen.
03:20Okay?
03:21But I do want to help.
03:23And the thing is...
03:26You need me.
03:28I'm all right?
03:31Well, am I right?
03:35The first day of H2O diplomacy has concluded with an abrupt change of ambassador.
03:41Sir Jonathan Hines has made no comment over his dismissal.
03:46And the identity of the new ambassador has been suppressed.
03:50This man is the most important person on the planet.
03:53Don't we have a right to know who he is?
03:55We cannot allow a foreign species to dictate our diplomacy process.
03:59This is dangerous.
04:06Prime Minister.
04:07The H2O committee will not allow a random civilian to represent them.
04:10Please, Kate, you ought to go back in that room and tell her.
04:13We choose our ambassador and the community's decision is final.
04:17I do it myself, but it doesn't look good, does it?
04:19If I'm the one who knows when war breaks out.
04:21Not when you can blame the unit.
04:23Sorry.
04:24That's not what I meant.
04:27But maybe it's better woman to woman.
04:29If that's what she is.
04:30Is that what she is?
04:31No problem.
04:34Please, Kate.
04:36We're relying on you.
04:37Thank you for this unscheduled consultation.
04:45I am Kate Lethbridge-Stewart,
04:47Commander-in-Chief of the Unified Intelligence Task Force
04:49and representative of the H2O committee.
04:53The committee has requested urgent action
04:56regarding the role of human ambassador.
04:58Rather than appoint this civilian,
05:02they request that you trust in our original candidate.
05:06You talk of trust
05:08while meeting in secret
05:10in the dark.
05:14We would hear from the ambassador.
05:17Mr. DuPont is unprepared.
05:19We would hear
05:20from the ambassador.
05:22The ambassador.
05:23Come closer.
05:48Hello.
05:49Hello.
05:51Hello.
05:53Do you have a name?
05:55Is that a thing?
05:56Because
05:56I'm Barclay.
05:59It's Scottish.
06:00Well, my grandma's.
06:02Grandma's Scottish.
06:04My title will not translate.
06:07But you
06:08may call me
06:10Salt.
06:12Salt?
06:15I...
06:16Listen.
06:19I'm just a regular guy.
06:22I work in an office.
06:23I don't know about diplomacy or politics.
06:25I don't even know about Beeson's suit.
06:27He chose you for your humanity
06:28and compassion.
06:30Not your expertise.
06:32Your leaders would replace you.
06:35But what do you want?
06:37I'm...
06:38I'm...
06:38I'm fine with whatever they decide.
06:40No.
06:41What do you really think?
06:43I think
06:47this process is about everybody, right?
06:54The whole world.
06:56It's not just prime ministers and presidents.
06:57It's real people like me
06:58who worry about their bills
07:00and their kids.
07:02I mean, I'm a nobody.
07:04I get it.
07:04But I think
07:05maybe it's time people like me
07:08had more of a voice.
07:09We hear you.
07:13Ambassador.
07:16It is decided.
07:19Your request has been heard
07:20and denied.
07:23Barclay will be present
07:24at dawn tomorrow.
07:26Our negotiations will end.
07:33Where are you taking me?
07:35Huh?
07:36What about my family?
07:37Please, I don't want to be shot.
07:41No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
07:46Are you going to kill me?
07:50I forgot my gun.
07:51Really?
07:53No.
07:54Ah.
07:56Look, look, look, look.
07:57I'm not a spy.
07:58Or a collaborator.
07:59And I wasn't disrespecting anyone
08:00if that's how it sounded.
08:01All right?
08:02My mouth,
08:02it just goes an autopilot.
08:04I mean, the same thing happened
08:05when I proposed to my ex.
08:06It took me about 20 minutes
08:07to get to the ring.
08:07Barclay,
08:09I need someone I can work with.
08:12Well, yeah.
08:14Of course you do.
08:15Yeah.
08:16And I think I can work with you.
08:22Well,
08:23well, hang on.
08:25I mean,
08:26about five minutes ago,
08:27you're trying to get rid of me.
08:28I have to tread carefully.
08:30All unit wants
08:31is a peaceful settlement,
08:32but there are levels
08:33and levels
08:34of politics at play here,
08:36international rivalries
08:37that go way back.
08:39Truth is,
08:40I've spent my whole life
08:41fighting for this planet.
08:43Now, with your help,
08:46I get to build a better world
08:48for everyone.
08:49I don't want to let you down.
08:51I mean,
08:51I keep thinking about
08:52the time I mixed up the taxis
08:53and you ended up in...
08:54Sklart,
08:55I remember.
08:56But Homo Aqua
08:57chose you for a reason.
09:00And I'm prepared
09:00to give you a chance.
09:03Okay.
09:03I have...
09:04So what happens now?
09:10Now,
09:10your life changes.
09:20Ambassador Transport
09:21now arriving
09:21at Diplomatic Hotel.
09:23Clear the corridors.
09:38Security protocols.
09:39All delegates
09:40and Diplomatic staff
09:41are being relocated
09:41for their own safety.
09:42All right,
09:42but for how long?
09:43What about my family?
09:44Can I call them?
09:45Barkley!
09:46Dad.
09:47There you go.
09:48What the hell's going on?
09:49I know, I know, I know, I know.
09:50Barkley will be present
09:51at dawn tomorrow.
09:53All negotiations will end.
09:57We hear you.
09:58That's what she said to him.
09:58We.
09:59And if that's true,
10:00how is she communicating
10:01with her people?
10:02Maybe she's wearing an implant.
10:03Well,
10:03they could have shared consciousness.
10:04Or some kind of
10:05mycorrhizal network.
10:06Maybe they've mastered sound
10:07in a way we don't understand.
10:08using frequencies
10:09we can't even air.
10:11Like Mariah Carey.
10:12I noticed something earlier
10:14when Sir Jonathan
10:15presented the flower.
10:17Everyone focused on her.
10:18But look.
10:19The exact moment she inhales,
10:26they all do.
10:28Even the ones in the water.
10:31She's softening her language.
10:33She used sarcasm.
10:34Like she's learning, adapting.
10:37They want an everyman as ambassador.
10:39But is that what she is?
10:40Because she's extraordinary.
10:41Those remains are en route to the lab.
10:44And the H2O committee are kicking off.
10:47They want to see you.
10:49So we're just accepting
10:50her choice of ambassador.
10:51What if he's not up to it?
10:53Well, their race
10:54has survived under the sea
10:55for millennia
10:56with centuries of social,
10:57evolutionary,
10:58and technological advantage.
10:59She's running this show.
11:01Whether we like it or not.
11:03Evening.
11:12Didn't think you were in tonight.
11:14I volunteered.
11:16Didn't want to miss this.
11:17Let's prep one for imaging.
11:19Careful.
11:31We'll take tissue samples.
11:33Crap some slides.
11:41You...
11:42You work in admin.
11:44You're not an ambassador.
11:45You couldn't even finish
11:46your wedding speech.
11:47Only because your dad
11:48spilled wine all over it.
11:49On purpose.
11:51So you're literally the person
11:52they're talking about on TV.
11:53Like all the time.
11:54Yeah, but you can't say a word
11:56not to anyone.
11:56Who are we going to tell?
11:57We're prisoners.
11:58But dad is famous.
11:59Okay, we're just looking at
12:00Brightside.
12:01Look at the view.
12:01It's nice.
12:02And this room is amazing,
12:03isn't it?
12:03It's huge.
12:04Am I the only person
12:05living in the real world
12:06right now?
12:07What about work?
12:08And school?
12:09Kirby's got that coach trip
12:10on Thursday.
12:12A coach trip?
12:13Yeah.
12:13Oh, I'm glad you've got
12:14your priorities in order.
12:15Never mind the massive
12:15international crises.
12:17No, I'm not sure
12:18the minibar's included.
12:19Sue me.
12:20So, if you're an ambassador,
12:22does that mean you get to make
12:24like actual decisions?
12:25No, God, no.
12:26They've got like this whole
12:27committee who writes
12:28everything, that's a policy.
12:29I just have to read it out.
12:30But then like, why are you?
12:32I don't know.
12:34She just chose me.
12:35What's she like?
12:37Well, I mean, she's kind of like us.
12:40But she's, like, I don't know.
12:42She's beautiful.
12:46Beautiful?
12:46Yeah.
12:47She's a fish.
12:48She's not a fish.
12:49She's not a fish
12:50and she's not a person.
12:51She's something else.
12:53Anyway, I'm not even supposed
12:54to be talking about this.
12:55Convenient.
12:55Barbara, do you really think
12:57I asked for this?
12:58I have no idea.
13:00Because it turns out
13:00my ex-husband,
13:01who can't even assemble
13:02flat pack furniture,
13:04is a secret agent
13:05who lied about his job
13:06and is now saving the world.
13:07So, excuse me if I have questions.
13:10I'm making the most
13:11of this massive bath.
13:12We're putting an enormous amount
13:36of pressure on one man.
13:39I hope he's up to it.
13:42My father
13:45taught me to rely
13:47on instinct
13:47over intel.
13:50Trust my gut.
13:52He'd say,
13:53He sounds very wise,
14:01your dad.
14:02He is.
14:03You should meet him.
14:06Hmm.
14:07What does your instinct say?
14:11Well, I've seen ordinary people
14:14achieve extraordinary things.
14:16But they're usually
14:17traveling with the doctor.
14:20And Barclay has you
14:22by his side.
14:24The oceans cover 71%
14:32of this planet's surface.
14:36The human race is quite
14:37literally surrounded.
14:39And if it comes to war,
14:42I wonder if we even
14:44stand a chance.
14:47Let me take your mind off it.
14:48Are those tissue samples ready?
15:00Yep.
15:01Two seconds.
15:01Two seconds.
15:01Two seconds.
15:03Two seconds.
15:03One seconds.
15:04Three seconds.
15:04I'm wrong.
15:05Yes.
15:14Maybe we'll do it.
15:16Let me do it.
15:17You're late.
15:41Your citizenship is approved.
15:43Welcome to Britain.
15:47What about my mother?
15:49Hey!
15:50What about my mother?
16:02Thanks, Maria.
16:03Hello, darling.
16:04Can't stop.
16:05Gallery opens Friday and Sue's got COVID.
16:06It's been chaos.
16:07Filming later, yeah?
16:08Yeah.
16:09Oh, your guests.
16:10They're waiting in the dining room.
16:13General, sorry to keep you.
16:15Hey, take your time.
16:16Look at this spread.
16:17Homo aqua tissue samples.
16:20Know thine enemy.
16:23Oh, I haven't eaten all day.
16:25We know what they're going to ask for, right?
16:27What do we do?
16:29Don't worry.
16:30Leave the fish to us.
16:31It'll be the death of the energy industry.
16:33Of your livelihood.
16:34We've run simulations.
16:36Look at the impact of wars and the pandemic on Western economies
16:39and multiply that by a hundred.
16:42We'll be sliding into recession.
16:44Public are already panicked.
16:46My mother was in the bank today and taking her account.
16:48Yeah.
16:49Which one?
16:51The president's sole focus is to protect the stability of the US economy.
16:56And mine is to protect my companies.
17:00That's what we hoped you'd say.
17:01But with the unit running the diplomacy, there's constant opposition.
17:05Hmm.
17:06Kate Lethbridge-Stewart has influence with the H2O committee and with your prime minister.
17:13Not to worry.
17:14Harry's attentions are divided at the moment and he always listens to his biggest donor.
17:20I'm good.
17:21We'll need you on sign.
17:22We'll be brief.
17:23Oh, you had me at recession.
17:25Oh, shh.
17:44Oh, shh.
17:45How's he on the news?
17:57He's supposed to be a secret.
17:59The H2O diplomacy committee are denying all interview requests.
18:03The only thing we do know about Barclay-Pierre Dupont, our new ambassador, is that the world is watching.
18:09Copy that. The post is clear. The post is clear.
18:12Go on, Dad.
18:16Morning, Colonel. Mrs. Bingham.
18:19Commander.
18:20What do we know about the leak?
18:21The photo was emailed to the press by an anonymous source.
18:24Except I've cross-matched the image with CCTV from the hotel.
18:29The photographer was General Dominique de Solier, the French representative.
18:33Kelsey Pries.
18:35She's been undermining NATO since she first drew breath.
18:37And if she discredits units, she gets more influence over the H2O committee.
18:41Get the French ambassador on the phone.
18:43I'm in the mood for a bollocking.
18:45Press Association is still demanding access to the hall.
18:47I'm not sure we want to get them offside.
18:49Fine, let them in.
18:50But no live TV.
18:5150 people maximum, and anyone who steps out of line gets barred.
18:55I'm sorry, General de Solier, your access to the hall has been revoked.
19:04Come with us, please.
19:07It's inadmissible. You can't refuse to enter.
19:09Just stick to the text on your screen, and you'll be fine.
19:12Keep your body language and your vocal tone neutral at all times.
19:15Most arms, no raised voice, no sign of aggression or impatience.
19:19Everything you say or do or think has to come through us.
19:22What's the point of being ambassador if all I'm doing is reading?
19:25There is a team of 43 people working around the clock on this document.
19:28UN diplomats and wartime negotiators vetting every last syllable.
19:31Prime Ministers, Presidents, royalty. Frankly, it's a miracle we got past the contents page.
19:35You cannot go rogue.
19:37Are we ready?
19:38We're all behind you.
19:39Well, yeah, actually, I'm the one standing up there.
19:41You can do this.
19:45I can't stop shaking.
20:05Tell the press no camera flashes and keep an eye on Barclay's obs.
20:10Blood pressure 138 over 90. Bit high. Horses 82 and steady.
20:15Is Downing Street online? Prime Minister?
20:18Yes, we're here.
20:19All right. Good luck, everyone.
20:22Mrs Bingham.
20:24Open seals.
20:26Ambassador, are you okay? Ambassador?
20:51Barclay?
20:52Hmm? Yeah? Oh, sorry. Yes, yes, yes. I'm here. This way.
20:55Hello again.
21:23That's not scripted, Barclay.
21:27Sorry.
21:31I bid you welcome, Ambassador,
21:33and bring to session this diplomatic congress.
21:36On behalf of all nations, I would like to say
21:40how sorry I am about your children.
21:42Are you a parent?
21:44Yes. Yes, he's a parent. Teenage child, Kirby.
21:48Barclay, just say yes.
21:49Yes.
21:51I can't imagine what that was like for you.
21:54Your apology is appreciated.
21:57Now back to the text, please.
21:59We begin today by hearing proposals
22:01to formalize our peace treaty.
22:03But first, we request a glass of water.
22:11Um, is...
22:13Is that coming?
22:16Water from the river.
22:20From the river?
22:21What? They drink river water?
22:23Barclay, read the screen.
22:25Uh, we will arrange that immediately.
22:29Go, go, go!
22:33Go, go, go!
22:35Go, go, go!
22:37Go, go, go!
22:39Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go!
22:41Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go!
22:43Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go!
22:44If Akka returns the agenda with license...
22:46We will wait.
22:48Okay.
22:51Oh, okay.
22:52They...
22:53They...
22:54They...
22:56They said okay.
22:57They were innocent.
22:58They said okay.
22:59They were dead.
23:00Well, they said not,
23:04but they said okay.
23:05They said okay, they told us.
23:07Let's go.
23:10We can't wait.
23:12They told us.
23:14They told us.
23:16We made an an opportunity for a single week-around.
23:19They said...
23:20It was easy to Ranjcie to my way.
23:22They said,
23:25Uh, glass requires decontamination.
23:31Shall I place it in the airlock?
23:32The water is not for us.
23:35It is for you.
23:40Sorry.
23:41Sorry, I don't understand.
23:42You will drink it.
23:44Hold on, Barclay.
23:45Get me intel on that water.
23:47You will drink.
23:49Uh...
23:50Just, like, actually drink it.
23:57E. coli is guaranteed.
23:59Dysentery, meningitis and Legionnaire's disease.
24:02Barclay, do not drink the water.
24:03What do I say?
24:04Stand by.
24:12Um, with respect, I am unable to drink this.
24:16Why?
24:18The water is contaminated.
24:20Why?
24:20She knows why.
24:21Skip to 16, paragraph 12.
24:24We're aware of the current pollution crisis, and I've been...
24:27These are the words of a politician.
24:30Vetted and craven and hollow.
24:33You would answer.
24:36Barclay, stick to the script.
24:38Barclay, Ambassador, refer to your screen.
24:42Barclay, no.
24:48Why?
24:52Barclay, no.
24:54Buckley, no.
24:55because we were stupid that's the truth of it
25:02and the whole planet's going to hell right now because we didn't understand the consequences
25:09but now you do yeah yeah now we do this is too risky no wait still every day water companies
25:18are pumping poison and sewage into our rivers and oceans all the while dishing out bonuses
25:22to their bosses and the thing is we are letting them get away with it we're just sat at home
25:27flicking through our phones making tea thinking it's someone else's problem but it's not this is

27:39the h2o committee have prepped new models for environmental regulation the greens have been
27:45trying to achieve these targets for decades that time prayer will be a challenge the h2o committee
27:49consulting with industry on that moving on the french consulate have lost an official complaint
27:55over general de solier's removal from the hall they want to reinstate it tough they've seen the
27:59evidence she's denying it and she has influence i think it'd be dangerous to shut her out fine fine
28:06we've got bigger problems meanwhile we've been debating communication theories how the homo aqua
28:11ambassador is able to send and receive information seemingly instantaneously yeah we're looking into
28:16oceanic mycelium networks mycelium but that's the mushrooms mushrooms are the reproductive organs of
28:21mycelium networks wait i'm eating reproductive organs on my toes mycelium networks are the fungal
28:26threads believed to connect individual plants and trees to share and recycle vital minerals a lot of
28:31these theories are debatable yes i know but if algae and fungi interact in a similar way
28:36when in water or if water itself forms some kind of network homo aqua amphibia grandis all these
28:42species could potentially be interconnected like a hive mind what if the pearl is their connection
28:49point or filter they're so far ahead of us it's difficult to comprehend we're literally children
28:54playing guessing games
29:24they're so far ahead of us it's difficult to comprehend we're trying to understand we're trying to

31:29hiya text on screen please
31:40once again i bid you welcome
31:45and bring to session this diplomatic congress
31:48world leaders have consulted with climate scientists
31:51and private enterprise on the subject of ocean pollution
31:54we can guarantee a 50% reduction by 2065
32:00further reduction will then be exponential
32:022065
32:03correct
32:0650%
32:07yes
32:09explain
32:11it will take time to raise the finance and resources to tackle the problem
32:19but world governments are committed to making it a priority
32:2240 years
32:24yes sir
32:25this is unacceptable
32:28an operation of this scale will stretch our resources to their limits
32:32we regret we cannot guarantee a significant reduction of ocean pollution in a shorter time frame
32:38so this is your final offer
32:43you've waited millions of years beneath the ocean
32:47now we are asking for just 40 more years to reset to give you what you want
32:54you are asking
32:55for 15 000 revolutions of the sun
33:01when scores of us are dying every day
33:05should we wait
33:07should we wait
33:07while your engines deafen us
33:11while your trawlers ravage our home
33:15while we choke
33:17on your plastic
33:19and sewage
33:21we cannot hear
33:24or see
33:26or breathe
33:28so tell me
33:30why we should live

34:07to accelerate this process
34:11we are committed to undoing the damage we've inflicted on our planet
34:16how committed

34:21then we shall grant it
34:27sorry what do you mean
34:34your greatest desire
34:36is happening
34:39that they can do
35:07What's happening?
35:12I don't know.
35:15Do you hear that?
35:17Is it a storm?
35:20There's no storm.
35:25It's plastic.
35:27Mum. Mum!
35:29Oh my God.
35:37Turn the car around. Turn it around!
35:39Get out of here!
35:49It's happening everywhere all at once.
35:51The plastic's coming out the oceans into our city.
35:53It's not just the oceans.
35:54It's coming out the Thames, out the Nile, the Hudson.
35:56Lock down the building. Get everyone to the lower levels.
35:59Get in here. Come on. Come on, move it.
36:02He's got it. He's got it.
36:05Barkley, we need to leave. Right now. Come on.
36:07Now! You have to stop!
36:14We are cleaning up your mess.
36:20Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait.
36:22You okay?
36:23Barkley, what's happening?
36:25They're cleaning up the ocean. The plastic, the pollution, all of it.
36:27They're giving it back.
36:28We're in a car. It's chaos.
36:30What? You're outside.
36:31We can't get to the safe house. We can't cross the river.
36:33It's okay.
36:33Just come to the hall.
36:36Which other driver is Imperial House?
36:38Imperial House?
36:39Can you take us to Imperial House?
36:40Oh, my God!
36:42Oh, my God!
36:56Don't worry, okay?
36:57We'll get you out!
36:58You can't be listening to me.
37:05We have to run for it.
37:06But I need to help the driver.
37:07See?
37:07No, don't see him. Listen.
37:09Get out and run in there and find your dad.
37:11I'll be right behind you.
37:12Promise me.
37:13Just run.
37:14I promise.
37:14Go.
37:15Hey.
37:24Can you hear me?
37:30I'm so sorry.
37:31Fuck it.
37:43Where are you?
37:44We're here.
37:44By Kirby.
37:45They're outside.
37:50Kirby!
37:57Kirby!
37:58Kirby!
37:58Kirby!
37:58Kirby!
37:58Kirby!
37:58Kirby!
37:58Kirby!
37:59Kirby!
37:59Kirby!
38:00Kirby!
38:00Kirby!
38:00You okay?
38:09Yeah.
38:10Let's go.
38:11Go, go, go, go, go.
38:20Go, go, go, come on, come on.
38:22Reports are coming in from all over the world,
38:24from dozens of major cities.
38:26All across Manhattan, the sky is raining plastic.
38:31Please, please, please, go to the security area.
38:35What is this?
38:36The police have issued a directive.
38:38The streets are not safe. Everyone should stay indoors.
38:41Do not go outside.
38:44What have I done?
38:46They are declaring war.
38:56I don't know.
38:57I don't know.
39:06One hundred and fourteen years after she began her maiden voyage,
39:10the Titanic has finally reached her destination.
39:12Just one of the impossible sites of the streets of New York today.
39:16Streets that are now unrecognizable.
39:18World leaders have called for calm as the cleanup operation begins.
39:22Major cities around the world remain paralyzed
39:25with a damaged bill in the hundreds of billions.
39:27Former Albion party leader Felix Gladstock
39:30has branded Storm H2O as a call to arms.
39:33Every citizen of this planet is now at war.
39:37It is time to unite against the common enemy.
39:41He is.
39:42Homo.
39:43Aqua.
39:44I don't know any of the million humans on this planet.
39:47Why do I move out of the contre-azir?
39:49We would hear from be above.
39:51I can't use this person.
39:52We would hear from be above.
39:54You are a big Iron Man.
39:56She's a fish.
39:58Barkley.
39:59You work in Ag admin?
40:00You're not an ambassador.
40:01Your body language in your phone, ambassador.
40:02Everything you say will do.
40:04Barkley.
40:06She has to come through this.
40:07She's a fish.
40:08Barkley.
40:09Buckley!
40:14Ambassador,
40:17we approach this Congress in good faith,
40:19that your actions have jeopardized the diplomatic process.
40:23Humanity wants a peaceful settlement, not war.
40:27This war began a long time ago,
40:30and it was started by you.
40:33Now, we have simply returned what is yours.
40:39Look, there's words here I'm supposed to say,
40:45but the fact is you're cleverer than we are.
40:47That's obvious.
40:48He's off script again.
40:49This is like working with the doctor.
40:51Look, I understand why you did this.
40:53Really, I do.
40:54But it was a mistake.
40:56People were hurt.
40:58And my family were out there.
41:00And they could have died.
41:02Now things are worse.
41:04We're scared.
41:06When humans are scared, they do terrible things.
41:09Are you threatening us?
41:10No, no, no, no, no, definitely not.
41:12No, I'm sorry.
41:13I'm sorry, no, I'm not.
41:14Enough, Buckley.
41:15I mean it, or God help me, I'll come down there.
41:17Get back to the text.
41:18The United Nations of the Earth demand an armistice agreement
41:26with immediate effect for the duration of these talks
41:28to safeguard humanity
41:30and protect a path towards long-term peace.
41:33There will be three conditions.
41:36One, that pollution of oceans and waterways ceases
41:41with immediate effect.
41:43Are you expecting this?
41:45Addendum two, paragraph one.
41:46World governments are working with industry
41:48on urgent solutions to this crisis.
41:50Our second requirement is formal designation of borders.
41:54Prepare for that, too.
41:55Okay, this is good.
41:56We are happy to consider large areas of all seas
41:59that are exclusive to Homo Aqua.
42:01Areas are not acceptable to us.
42:04We require all water.
42:07What does she mean? Clarify that?
42:10Sorry, all water.
42:12The entirety of all oceans and waterways.
42:15Sorry, excuse me, we're an island nation.
42:19Are we permitted passage across the oceans?
42:21No.
42:22The human race evolved to live on land,
42:25not in the waters or the sky.
42:28She said sky.
42:29Do you want the skies now?
42:31You live in the ocean.
42:32The skies are not your concern.
42:34The air above the ocean is the ocean.
42:38This is our space.
42:41Are you seeking to ground all air transport?
42:44Transport over land is your concern.
42:47Transport across water will not be permitted.
42:50But that's ridiculous.
42:51Barkley, you're losing control.
42:53Trade between continents is an essential function of the modern world.
42:56Yes.
42:57Our continent relies on food imports.
42:59We will take questions from the ambassador.
43:01Barkley, there's no prep for this.
43:03We do have responses.
43:04You are amphibian.
43:05You don't own this sky.
43:06You cannot stab our people.
43:07We will take questions from the ambassador.
43:10You're holding us hostage.
43:11What about the channel tunnel?
43:12The world cannot function without cross-continental travel.
43:15How dare you?
43:16How dare you come in here and dictate the future of the human race?
43:20You are condemning developing countries to...
43:22HMMO!
43:24HMMO!
43:31We will take questions from the ambassador.
43:35Only.
43:38WhoaâŠ
43:39Voice has changed!
43:40Her intonation is male.
43:42Never mind the voice.
43:43voice. Look at him. I'm getting spikes in testosterone, cortisol and keto
43:49testosterone. What? So she's a man now? I... I don't know. Sorry. They're... they're sorry.
43:58They're... they're... they're... they're... they're... they're... they're... shut up.
44:03Sit down. Shut up.
44:13How is she doing that? Incredible. Like I said, people are scared. They fear what they
44:22don't understand. But that means nothing. Well done, Barkley. We need time. These proposals
44:38aren't something we can solve in days or weeks or even months. But while we negotiate, we
44:48insist on a formal armistice to maintain peace between our species. We have given two conditions
44:55for this armistice. There is a third. And it is simple. We stand here in your rooms of
45:06concrete and steel and dust and light burning our eyes and our lungs. And we will endure no
45:16more. So our next meeting... will be here.
45:26What?
45:27What?
45:28What?
45:29What?
45:30What?
45:31What?
45:32What?
45:33How are they doing this? Check those coordinates.
45:36North of the equator. Just off the coast of West Africa.
45:39Is it an island?
45:40No.
45:41They want to meet on a ship?
45:42What's the third coordinate? South? West? What's M?
45:45Barkley, that's Opal.
45:46Water. Please clarify the third coordinate.
45:48Your metric unit for length and depth. You would like us to meet underwater?
45:58You talk of peace and equality. So prove your commitment and meet us in our world.
46:07We're a man's trench. One of the deepest waterways on the planet. 25,000 feet, five miles down.
46:12Man submersibles have imploded in less than half that.
46:15Barkley, don't agree to anything. Will you meet us, Barkley? At the bottom of the ocean?
46:27Okay.
46:45Okay.
46:57Okay.
46:58Okay.
