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.
00:10I work in transport. I'm a clerk.
00:12Almost!
00:14The first official meeting with Homo Aqua will begin here.
00:17My name is Kate Lethbridge-Stewart,
00:19Commander-in-Chief of the Unified Intelligence Task Force.
00:24And I hope this will be the start of a great endeavor to find peace.
00:28We have a gift for you.
00:29My children.
00:31But 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...
00:41...with him.
00:59What is in stretch of course my own you get out.
01:13What are we?
01:16My children.
01:17No!
01:38With me, please, sir.
01:40I suggest that this, um, meeting is adjourned.
01:45While we, uh...
01:46Follow me.
01:47While we regroup.
01:51His name's Barclay P.L. DuPont.
01:52He'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.
01:58I want his file on my screen by the time I get downstairs.
02:04Kate Lethbridge-Stewart.
02:05Yeah.
02:06And now I'll book your taxes.
02:08Sit down.
02:11We weren't expecting this.
02:13Obviously.
02:14Me either.
02:15So help me understand.
02:16Out of nearly eight 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.
02:27Never.
02:28Never.
02:30I mean, I had a goldfish once.
02:31Is that relevant?
02:32This isn't a joke, Mr. DuPont.
02:33I'm not joking.
02:34He was called Simon.
02:36Right now, a team of experts are trawling through every detail of your private life.
02:42Every text message.
02:43Every email.
02:44Every photo.
02:45Everyone you've ever met.
02:46Barclay Pierre DuPont.
02:47Born 15-11-82.
02:48Get me his immediate family.
02:49Yes, ma'am.
02:54Parents deceased.
02:55Married Barbara Numai.
02:56June 2003.
02:57Divorced November 2022.
02:58Split was amicable.
03:00Well, everything's done.
03:01We're not part of it.
03:02We're not even together.
03:03We're not even together.
03:07Tina's child, Kirby, 16, lives with the mother studying A-levels.
03:11Seize all devices and bring them in professionally, right now.
03:14My family have got nothing to do with this.
03:17They don't even know I'm here.
03:18I never asked for this to happen.
03:20Okay?
03:22But I do want to help.
03:24And the thing is...
03:27You need me.
03:29I'm alright?
03:31How am I?
03:36The first day of H2O diplomacy has concluded with an abrupt change of ambassador.
03:43Sir 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.
04:00Is.
04:01Table to us.
04:06Prime Minister.
04:07The H2O committee will not allow a random civilian to represent them.
04:10Okay, you're to go back and out room and tell her.
04:13We choose our ambassador and the committee's decision is final.
04:17I do it myself, but it doesn't look good, does it?
04:19If I'm the one in there when war breaks out.
04:21Not when you can blame the unit.
04:22Sorry.
04:24That's not what I meant.
04:28Maybe it's better woman to woman.
04:30If that's what she is.
04:31Is that what she is?
04:32No.
04:34Please, Kate.
04:36We're relying on you.
04:37Thank you for this unscheduled consultation.
04:41I am Kate Lethbridge-Stewart, Commander-in-Chief of the Unified Intelligence Task Force and representative of the H2O committee.
04:52The committee has requested urgent action regarding the role of human ambassador.
04:59Rather than appoint this civilian, they request that you trust in our original candidate.
05:05You talk of trust while meeting in secret in the dark.
05:15We would hear from the ambassador.
05:17Mr. DuPont is unprepared.
05:20We would hear from the ambassador.
05:35Come closer.
05:48Hello.
05:50Hello.
05:53Do you ever know?
05:55Is that a thing?
05:57Because I'm Barclay.
05:59It's Scottish.
06:00Well, my grandma's.
06:02Grandma's Scottish.
06:03My title will not translate.
06:08But you may call me Salt.
06:12Salt?
06:16I...
06:19Listen.
06:21I'm just a regular guy.
06:23I work in an office.
06:24I don't know about diplomacy or politics.
06:25I don't even know about decent suit.
06:27He chose you for your humanity and compassion.
06:31Not your expertise.
06:33Your leaders would replace you.
06:36But what do you want?
06:38I'm...
06:39I'm fine with whatever they decide.
06:41No.
06:42What do you really think?
06:47I think...
06:48this 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.
07:00They worry about their bills.
07:02And their kids.
07:03I mean, I'm a nobody.
07:04I get it.
07:05But I think...
07:06I don't know.
07:07Maybe it's time people, like me, admiral voice.
07:10We hear you.
07:14Ambassador.
07:17It is decided.
07:19Your request has been heard...
07:21and denied.
07:23Barclay will be present at dawn tomorrow.
07:27Our negotiations will end.
07:33Where are you taking me?
07:35Huh?
07:37What about my family?
07:38Please?
07:39I don't want to be shot.
07:41No, no, no, no, no.
07:47Are you gonna kill me?
07:50I forgot my gun.
07:51Really?
07:53No.
07:56Look, look, look, look.
07:57I'm not a spy.
07:58Or a collaborator.
07:59And I wasn't disrespecting anyone, if that's how it sounded.
08:01Alright?
08:02My mouth, it just goes on autopilot.
08:04I mean, the same thing happened when I proposed to my ex.
08:06It took me about 20 minutes to get to the ring.
08:08Luckily, I need someone I can work with.
08:12Well, yeah, of course.
08:14Of course you do.
08:15It happens.
08:17And I think I can work with you.
08:22Well...
08:24Well, hang on.
08:25I mean...
08:27About five minutes ago, you were trying to get rid of me.
08:29I have to tread carefully.
08:31What all unit wants is a peaceful settlement.
08:33But there are levels and levels of politics at play here.
08:36International rivalries that go way back.
08:39Truth is, I've spent my whole life fighting for this planet.
08:43Now, with your help...
08:46I get to build a better world.
08:48For everyone.
08:50I don't wanna let you down.
08:51I mean, I keep thinking about the time I mixed up the taxis,
08:53and you ended up in...
08:54Sclott, I remember.
08:56But Homo Aqua chose you for a reason.
09:00And I'm prepared to give you a chance.
09:03Okay.
09:04Uh...
09:05So, what happens now?
09:09Now...
09:11Your life changes.
09:20Ambassador Transport now arriving at Diplomatic Hotel.
09:22Clear the corridors.
09:23Clear the corridors.
09:38Security protocols.
09:39All delegates and Diplomatic staff will be relocated for their own safety.
09:42Oh, but for how long?
09:43What about my family?
09:44Can I call them?
09:45What?
09:46Cootie.
09:47Dad.
09:48There you go.
09:49What the hell's going on?
09:50I know.
09:51I know.
09:52I know.
09:53I know.
09:54I know.
09:55Barclay will be present at dawn tomorrow.
09:56Or negotiations will end.
09:57We hear you.
09:58That's what she said to him.
09:59We.
10:00And if that's true, how is she communicating with her people?
10:02Maybe she's wearing an implant.
10:03Well, they could have shared consciousness.
10:04Or some kind of mycorrhizal network.
10:06Maybe they've mastered sound in a way we don't understand.
10:09Using frequencies we can't even air.
10:11Like Mariah Carey.
10:12I noticed something earlier when Sir Jonathan presented the flower.
10:17Everyone focused on her.
10:19But look.
10:23The exact moment she inhales, they all do.
10:28Even the ones in the water.
10:31She's softening her language.
10:33She used sarcasm.
10:35Like she's learning, adapting.
10:37They want an everyman as ambassador.
10:39But is that what she is?
10:40Because she's extraordinary.
10:42Those remains are en route to the lab.
10:44And the H2O committee are kicking off.
10:47They want to see you.
10:48So we're just accepting her choice of ambassador.
10:51What if it's not up to her?
10:53Well, their race has survived under the sea for millennia
10:56with centuries of social, evolutionary and technological advantage.
10:59She's running this show.
11:01Whether we like it or not.
11:03Evening.
11:04Didn't think you were in tonight.
11:05I volunteered.
11:06Didn't want to miss this.
11:07Let's prep one for imaging.
11:08Careful.
11:09We'll take tissue samples.
11:10Prep some slides.
11:11We'll take tissue samples.
11:12Prep some slides.
11:13You...
11:14You...
11:15You wagging me!
11:16I'm not.
11:17I'm not.
11:18I'm not.
11:19I'm not.
11:20I'm not.
11:21I'm not.
11:22I'm not.
11:23I'm not.
11:24No, no, no, no.
11:25I'm not.
11:26I have no idea.
11:27But it's not.
11:28We'll take it when we have the robbery.
11:29But it's not something that I'm not being able to deny.
11:34I've never done anything for the objection.
11:36So are you things that I've ever tried to keep back?
11:38I'm not trying to block my Megan but I don't want to go do it.
11:42We'll take tissue samples.
11:43Perhaps some slides.
11:44You...
11:45You wagging admin?
11:47You are not ambassador.
11:48You couldn't even finish your wedding speech.
11:49Only because your dad spilled wine all over here.
11:50On purpose.
11:51So you're literally the person they're talking about on TV?
11:53Like, all the time?
11:54Yeah, but you can't say a word not to anyone.
11:56Who are we going to tell? We're prisoners.
11:58But Dad is famous.
11:59OK, just look at the bright side. Look at the view.
12:01It's nice, and this room is amazing, isn't it? It's huge.
12:04Am I the only person living in the real world right now?
12:07What about work and school?
12:09Kirby's got that coach trip on Thursday.
12:12A coach trip?
12:13Oh, I'm glad you've got your priorities in order.
12:15Never mind the massive international crisis.
12:17No, I'm not sure the minibar's included.
12:19Sue me.
12:20So, if you're an ambassador,
12:22does that mean you get to make, like, actual decisions?
12:25No, God, no.
12:27They've got, like, this whole committee who writes everything.
12:29That's a policy. I 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...
12:41Like, I don't know.
12:45She's beautiful.
12:46Beautiful? Yeah.
12:47She's a fish?
12:48She's not a fish.
12:49She's not a fish, and she's not a person.
12:51She's something else.
12:53Anyway, I'm not even supposed to be talking about this.
12:55Convenient.
12:55Barbara, do you really think I asked for this?
12:58I have no idea.
13:00Because it turns out my ex-husband,
13:01who can't even assemble flat-pack furniture,
13:03is a secret agent who 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 of this massive bath.
13:12We're putting an enormous amount of pressure on one man.
13:25I hope he's up to it.
13:41My father taught me to rely on instinct over intel.
13:50Trust my gut.
13:52He'd say,
13:54He sounds very wise, your dad.
14:02He is.
14:03You should meet him.
14:04What does your instinct say?
14:11I've seen ordinary people achieve extraordinary things,
14:16but they're usually traveling 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 literally surrounded.
14:39And if it comes to war,
14:42I wonder if we even stand a chance.
14:47Let me take your mind off it.
14:54Are those tissue samples ready?
15:00Yep.
15:01Two seconds.
15:01Two seconds.
15:24You're late.
15:41Your citizenship is approved.
15:44Welcome to Britain.
15:48What about my mother?
15:50Hey!
15:51What about my mother?
15:54Thanks, Maria.
16:03Hello, darling.
16:04Can't stop.
16:05Gallery opens Friday
16:06and Sue's got COVID.
16:07It's been chaos.
16:08Filming later, yeah?
16:09Yep.
16:09Oh, your guests.
16:10They're waiting in the dining room.
16:13General, sorry to keep you.
16:15Hey, take your time.
16:17Look at this spread.
16:18Homo aqua tissue samples.
16:21Know thine enemy.
16:23Oh.
16:24I haven't eaten all day.
16:26We know what they're going to ask for, right?
16:28What do we do?
16:29Don't worry.
16:31Leave the fish to us.
16:32It'll be the death of the energy industry,
16:33of your livelihood.
16:35We've run simulations.
16:37Look at the impact of wars
16:38and the pandemic on Western economies
16:40and 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
16:48renting our accounts.
16:49Yeah.
16:50Which one?
16:52The president's sole focus
16:53is to protect the stability
16:55of the U.S. economy.
16:57And mine
16:57is to protect my companies.
17:00That's what we hoped he'd say.
17:02But with the unit running the diplomacy,
17:04there's constant opposition.
17:05Kate Lethbridge-Stewart has influence
17:09with the H2O committee
17:11and with your prime minister.
17:14Not to worry.
17:15Harry's attentions are divided at the moment
17:17and he always listens
17:18to his biggest donor.
17:21Good.
17:22We'll need you outside.
17:23We'll be brief.
17:24Oh, you had me at recession.
17:45Oh, shh.
17:46How's he on the news?
17:57He's supposed to be a secret.
17:59The H2O diplomacy committee
18:01are denying all interview requests.
18:03The only thing we do know
18:04about Barclay-Pierre Dupont,
18:06our new ambassador,
18:07is that the world is watching.
18:09Copy that.
18:10The post is clear.
18:11The post is clear.
18:14Go on, Dad.
18:17Morning, Colonel.
18:18Mrs. Bingham.
18:19Commander.
18:20What do we know about the leak?
18:22The photo was emailed to the press
18:23by an anonymous source.
18:25Except I've cross-matched the image
18:27with CCTV from the hotel.
18:29The photographer was General Dominique Dissolier,
18:32the French representative.
18:34Kelsey Pries.
18:35She's been undermining NATO
18:36since she first drew breath.
18:38And if she discredits units,
18:40she gets more influence
18:41over the H2O committee.
18:42Get the French ambassador on the phone.
18:44I'm in the mood for a bollocking.
18:45The press association
18:46is still demanding access to the hall.
18:48I'm not sure we want to get them offside.
18:49Fine, let them in.
18:51But no live TV.
18:5250 people maximum,
18:53and anyone who steps out of line
18:54gets barred.
19:01I'm sorry, General Dissolier.
19:02Your access to the hall has been revoked.
19:04Come with us, please.
19:05It's unadmissible.
19:08You can't refuse to enter.
19:09Just stick to the text on your screen
19:11and you'll be fine.
19:12Keep your body language
19:13and your vocal tone neutral
19:14at all times.
19:15No crossed arms,
19:16no raised voice,
19:17no sign of aggression
19:18or impatient.
19:20Everything you say or do
19:21or think
19:21has to come through us.
19:22What's the point of being ambassador
19:23if all I'm doing is reading?
19:24There is a team of 43 people
19:27working around the clock
19:28on this document.
19:29UN diplomats
19:30and wartime negotiators
19:31vetting every last syllable.
19:32Prime ministers, presidents, royalty.
19:34Frankly, it's a miracle
19:34we got past the contents page.
19:36You cannot go rogue.
19:37Are we ready?
19:38We're all behind you.
19:40Well, yeah, literally.
19:40I'm the one standing up there.
19:42You can do this.
19:45I can't stop shaking.
19:54Tell the press no camera flashes
20:09and keep an eye on Barclay's obs.
20:11Blood pressure 138 over 90.
20:13Bit high.
20:14Horses 82 and steady.
20:16Is Downing Street online?
20:18Prime minister...
20:19Yes, we're here.
20:20All right.
20:21Good luck, everyone.
20:23Mrs. Bingham.
20:24Open seals.
20:48Ambassador, are you okay?
20:50Ambassador?
20:52Barclay.
20:52Yeah, oh, sorry.
20:54Yes, yes, yes.
20:54I'm here.
20:55It's fine.
21:23Hello, again.
21:24That's not scripted.
21:26Barclay.
21:27Sorry.
21:31I bid you welcome, ambassador.
21:33And bring to session
21:34this diplomatic congress.
21:36On behalf of all nations,
21:38I would like to say
21:39how sorry I am about your children.
21:43Are you a parent?
21:45Yes.
21:46Yes, he's a parent.
21:47Teenage child, Kirby.
21:49Barclay, just say yes.
21:50Yes.
21:50Yes.
21:52I can't imagine what that was like for you.
21:54Your apology is appreciated.
21:57Now back to the text, please.
22:00We begin today by hearing proposals
22:02to formalize our peace treaty.
22:03But first,
22:05we request
22:06a glass of water.
22:08water from the river.
22:21From the river?
22:22What?
22:22They drink river water?
22:24Barclay, read the screen.
22:25We will arrange that immediately.

23:08One second!
23:28The glass requires decontamination. Shall I place it in the airlock?
23:32The water is not for us.
23:35It is for you.
23:38Sorry. Sorry, I don't understand.
23:42You will drink it.
23:44Hold on, Barclay. Get me intel on that water.
23:47You will drink.
23:54Just, like, actually drink it?
23:57E. coli is guaranteed. Dysentry, meningitis and Legionnaires disease.
24:01Barclay, do not drink the water.
24:03What do I say?
24:04Stand by.
24:05Um, with respect, I am unable to drink this.
24:15Why?
24:17Water is contaminated.
24:19Why?
24:20She knows why. Skip to 16, paragraph 12.
24:24We are aware of the current pollution crisis, and I believe-
24:27These are the words of a politician.
24:29Vetted and craven and hollow.
24:33You would answer.
24:35Barclay, stick to the script.
24:36Barclay.
24:37Ambassador, refer to your screen.
24:38Barclay.
24:39Ambassador, refer to your screen.
24:40Why?
24:41Barclay, no.
24:53Because we were stupid.
24:55That's the truth of it.
24:57And the whole planet's going to hell right now because we didn't understand the consequences.
25:09But now you do.
25:10Yeah.
25:11Yeah, now we do.
25:12This is too risky.
25:13No, wait.
25:14Still every day, water companies are pumping poison and sewage into our rivers and oceans, all the while dishing out bonuses to their bosses.
25:22And the thing is, we are letting them get away with it.
25:25We just sat at home, flicking through our phones, making tea thinking it's someone else's problem.
25:29But it's not.
25:30This is my fault.
25:31We all played our part.
25:32Now we have to help fix it.
25:35And the thing is, our kids know this.
25:38Our kids.
25:40They're way ahead of us.
25:43Why aren't we listening?
25:47Today's the day we stop.
25:55I think you are my favorite human.
26:02Oh, I feel amazing.
26:03I'm sorry, but I do.
26:07It's like, I wanna run, I just wanna run for miles so much energy right there.
26:21What?
26:22I feel amazing.
26:23I'm sorry, but I do.
26:26It's like, I wanna run.
26:27I just wanna run for miles.
26:29I've got so much energy right there.
26:30What?
26:31You're ridiculous.
26:33You know, I was thinking about you today.
26:35When I was standing up there like a lemon,
26:37I was thinking about all those things you told me,
26:39you and your hippie mates.
26:40They're not hippies, and that's not even a word anymore.
26:43Well, I just wish that I'd listen sooner.
26:45But I'm listening now, I promise you.
26:48Who even are you?
26:50I don't know, but I like it.
26:52You're on telly again?
26:53You're always on telly, aren't you?
26:55They're calling you passionate.
26:57Passionate? That's me.
26:58You haven't been passionate since Christmas 2010.
27:01Oh!
27:02Are you all right?
27:04That is a treat.
27:05Here, tastes better than river water.
27:08Mm.
27:09Do you know, it just hit me, just now.
27:12This is history in the making.
27:15Right now.
27:16And I'm part of it.
27:17I'm a historical figure.
27:19It's crazy, isn't it?
27:20Okay.
27:22So what's she like then?
27:24Your fishy ambassador?
27:28Are you jealous?
27:29Please.
27:30She is.
27:31What?
27:32You're jealous?
27:33Can we order room service now?
27:35Sure.
27:38I'll have the fish.
27:39The H2O committee have prepped new models for environmental regulation.
27:44The Greens have been trying to achieve these targets for decades.
27:47That timeframe will be a challenge.
27:48The H2O committee consulting with industry on that.
27:51Moving on.
27:52The French consulate have lost an official complaint over General de Solier's removal from the hall.
27:57They want to reinstate it.
27:58Tough, they've seen the evidence.
28:00She's denying it, and she has influence.
28:02I think it would be dangerous to shut her out.
28:04Fine.
28:05Fine.
28:06We've got bigger problems.
28:07Meanwhile, we've been debating communication theories how the Homo aqua ambassador is able
28:11to send and receive information seemingly instantaneously.
28:15Yeah, we're looking into oceanic mycelium networks.
28:17Mycelium?
28:18Oh, that's the mushrooms.
28:19Mushrooms are the reproductive organs of mycelium networks.
28:21Wait, I'm eating reproductive organs on my toes.
28:24Mycelium networks are the fungal threads, believed to connect individual plants and trees
28:28to share and recycle vital minerals.
28:30A lot of these theories are debatable.
28:32Yes, I know.
28:33But if algae and fungi interact in a similar way when in water, or if water itself forms
28:38some kind of network.
28:39Homo aqua, amphibia, grandis, all these species could potentially be interconnected.
28:45Like a hive mind?
28:46What if the pearl is their connection point?
28:49Or a filter.
28:50They're so far ahead of us, it's difficult to comprehend.
28:53We're literally children playing guessing games.
29:23Howdy.
29:24Couldn't sleep.
29:26I just read your big speech again.
29:28Mm-hmm.
29:29It's more of a ramble.
29:30It made me...
29:31It made me proud, though.
29:33Really?
29:34But with all the attention, are you going to be safe doing this?
29:36Are you going to be safe doing this?
29:37No.
29:38No.
29:39No.
29:40No.
29:41No.
29:42No.
29:43No.
29:44No.
29:45No.
29:46No.
29:47No.
29:48No.
29:49No.
29:50No.
29:51No.
29:52No.
29:53No.
29:54No.
29:55No.
29:56No.
29:57No.
29:58No.
29:59No.
30:00No.
30:01No.
30:02No.
30:03No.
30:04No.
30:05No.
30:06No.
30:07No.
30:08No.
30:09No, no, no.
30:10No.
30:11No.
30:12No.
30:13No.
30:14pystyles.
30:15All right, you did that, Father?
30:16Yes.
30:17I promise.
30:19They're moving you out of here tomorrow, putting you in a proper safe house, away from all this.
30:24Well, it's changing, Dad.
30:27Well, maybe it needed to.
30:29Maybe it's for the best.
30:54Your family will be moved to a safe house this morning.
30:59We're separating civilians from diplomatic staff.
31:01Oh, look, I'll see him before they go.
31:03No, I'm sorry, we'll hear all day.
31:04Bugley High, Rosemary Hunt, nice suit.
31:06What can you tell us about Homo Aquis demands?
31:08How confident are you that we can achieve what they want?
31:11How are you coping under the pressure?
31:13What happens if you mess this up?
31:24Hiya.
31:39Text on screen, please.
31:43Once 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.
31:55We can guarantee a 50% reduction by 2065.
32:00Further reduction will then be exponential.
32:022065?
32:05Correct.
32:0650%?
32:08Yes.
32:11Explain.
32:15It will take time to raise the finance and resources
32:18to tackle the problem.
32:19But world governments are committed to making it a priority.
32:2240 years?
32:24Yes, sir.
32:27This 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
32:36in a shorter time frame.
32:40So this is your final offer?
32:44You've waited millions of years beneath the ocean.
32:47Now we are asking for just 40 more years to reset,
32:52to give you what you want.
32:54You are asking for 15,000 revolutions of the sun.
33:02When scores of us are dying every day,
33:06should we wait?
33:07While your engines deafen us.
33:12While your trawlers ravage our home.
33:16While we choke on your plastic and sewage.
33:22We cannot hear, or see, or breathe.
33:27So tell me why we should live like this for just one day longer.
33:38I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
33:42I believe that you are sorry.
33:44But are your leaders?
33:49The world is united in its desire for meaningful change.
33:56Do they wish that they could achieve this sooner?
34:01Yes, of course.
34:02Do they want to accelerate this process?
34:11We are committed to undoing the damage we've inflicted on our planet.
34:16How committed?
34:17It is our greatest desire.
34:26Then we shall grant it.
34:34Sorry, what do you mean?
34:36Your greatest desire...
34:38is happening.
34:47I don't know.
35:11What's happening?
35:12I don't know.
35:13Do you hear that?
35:17Is it a storm?
35:20There's no storm.
35:25It's plastic.
35:27Mum. Mum.
35:28Oh my god.
35:37Turn the car around.
35:38Turn it around!
35:39Get us out of here!
35:44It's happening everywhere all at once.
35:46The plastic is coming out of the oceans into our city.
35:49It's not just the oceans.
35:50It's coming out of the Thames, out of the Nile, the Hudson.
35:52Lock down the building.
35:53Get everyone to the lower levels.
35:55As you can, come on.
35:56Come on, move it.
35:58Keep going, keep going.
36:00Barclay, we need to leave.
36:02Right now, come on.
36:03Now!
36:04You have to stop!
36:05We are cleaning up your mess!
36:07Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait.
36:09You okay?
36:10Barclay, what's happening?
36:11They're cleaning up the ocean, the plastic, the pollution, all of it.
36:14They're giving it back.
36:16But we're in a car. It's chaos.
36:17What? You're outside?
36:18We can't get to the safe house. We can't cross the river.
36:20Just come to the hall, turn the driver. It's Imperial House.
36:21Imperial House!
36:22Can you take us to Imperial House?
36:24No!
36:25No!
36:26No!
36:27No!
36:28No!
36:29No!
36:30No!

36:54No!
36:55No!
36:56No!
36:57No!
36:58No!
36:59Alright, let it go!
37:00Don't worry!
37:01OK?
37:02Get out!
37:03Can't be listened to me!
37:04We have to run for it.
37:06But I need to help the driver.
37:07See?
37:08No!
37:09Don't see him!
37:10Listen!
37:11Get out and run.
37:12In there and find your dad.
37:13I'll be right behind you.
37:14Promise me!
37:15Just run!
37:16I promise!
37:17Go!
37:19Hey, can you hear me?
37:26I'm so sorry.
37:43Where are you?
37:44We're here, find Kirby, they're outside.
37:49Where are you?

38:27All across Manhattan, the sky is raining plastic.
38:31Please, all citizens, quickly search for the emergency room.
38:35This is an attack!
38:37The police have issued a directive. The streets are not safe. Everyone should stay indoors. Do not go outside.

38:47They're declaring war.
38:49FIRE!
