00:00I suggest that this meeting is adjourned, while we regroup.
00:25His name is Barclay P.L. DuPont. He's a grade 10, works in logistics.
00:28Family. Ex-wife and teenage child.
00:30Bring them in, put them in an interview room. I want his file on my screen by the time I get downstairs.
00:37Kate Lethbridge-Stewart.
00:38Yeah, I know. I book your taxes.
00:41Sit down.
00:44We weren't expecting this. Obviously.
00:47Me either.
00:48So help me understand. Out of nearly 8 billion humans on this planet, why do Homo Aqua want you as ambassador?
00:55I don't know.
00:56What communications have you had with Homo Aqua prior to today?
00:59None. Never.
01:02I mean, I had a goldfish once. Is that relevant?
01:04This isn't a joke, Mr. DuPont.
01:05I'm not joking. He was called Simon.
01:09Right now, a team of experts are trawling through every detail of your private life.
01:14Every text message, every email, every photo, everyone you've ever met.
01:18Barclay Pierre DuPont, born 15, 11, 82. Get me his immediate family.
01:22Yes, ma'am.
01:24Parents deceased. Married Barbara Numai, June 2003. Divorced November 2022. Split was amicable.
01:31Whatever he's done, we're not part of it. We're not even together.
01:34No, no, no, no.
01:37Tina's child, Kirby, 16, lives with the mother studying A-levels.
01:41Seize all devices and bring them in professionally, right now.
01:43My family have got nothing to do with this.
01:46They don't even know I'm here. I never asked for this to happen, okay?
01:50But I do want to help. And the thing is, you need me. I'm alright. I'm alright.
02:05The first day of H2O diplomacy has concluded with an abrupt change of ambassador.
02:11Sir Jonathan Hines has made no comment over his dismissal, and the identity of the new ambassador has been suppressed.
02:17This man is the most important person on the planet. Don't we have a right to know who he is?
02:22We cannot allow a foreign species to dictate our diplomacy process. This is dangerous.
02:33Prime Minister.
02:34The H2O committee will not allow a random civilian to represent them.
02:37Okay, you ought to go back in Mount Romantella. We choose our ambassador, and the committee's decision is final.
02:43I do it myself, but it doesn't look good, does it, if I'm the one in there when war breaks out?
02:48Not when you can blame you, Ned.
02:50Sorry. That's not what I meant.
02:54Maybe it's better woman to woman. If that's what she is. Is that what she is?
02:58No, I...
02:59Please, Kate. We're relying on you.
03:06Thank you for this unscheduled consultation.
03:10I am Kate Lethbridge-Stewart, Commander-in-Chief of the Unified Intelligence Task Force, and representative of the H2O committee.
03:17The committee has requested urgent action regarding the role of human ambassador.
03:24Rather than appoint this civilian, they request that you trust in our original candidate.
03:30You talk of trust, while meeting in secret, in the dark.
03:37We would hear from the ambassador.
03:40Mr. DuPont is unprepared.
03:44We would hear from the ambassador.
03:58Come closer.
03:59Hello.
04:03Do you ever know?
04:05Is that a thing? Because...
04:07I'm Barclay.
04:09It's Scottish. Well, my grammar's.
04:11My grammar's sc... Scottish.
04:13My grammar's sc... Scottish.
04:15My title will not translate.
04:18I'm Barclay.
04:20I'm Barclay.
04:22It's Scottish. Well, my grammar's sc... Scottish.
04:24My grammar's sc... Scottish.
04:26My title will not translate.
04:28But you...
04:31may call me Salt.
04:33Salt?
04:37I...
04:39Listen.
04:41I'm just a regular guy.
04:43I work in an office.
04:44I don't know about diplomacy or politics.
04:46I don't even know about Beeson Sue.
04:48We chose you for your humanity and compassion.
04:51Not your expertise.
04:53Your leaders would replace you.
04:55But what do you want?
04:58I'm...
04:59I'm fine with whatever they decide.
05:01No.
05:02What do you really think?
05:07I think...
05:08this process is about everybody, right?
05:13The whole world.
05:15It's not just Prime Ministers and Presidents. It's real people, like me.
05:19They worry about their bills.
05:21And their kids. I mean, I'm a nobody.
05:23I get it, but I think...
05:24I think...
05:26At least time people like me had more of a voice.
05:30We hear you.
05:32Ambassador.
05:35It is decided.
05:37Your request has been heard...
05:39and denied.
05:40Barclay will be present at dawn tomorrow.
05:44Or negotiations will end.
05:50Where are you taking me?
05:52Huh?
05:54What about my family?
05:56Please, I don't want to be shot.
05:58No, no, no, no, no.
06:00Are you going to kill me?
06:05I forgot my gun.
06:08Really?
06:10No.
06:12Look, look, look. I'm not a spy.
06:15Or a collaborator.
06:16And I wasn't disrespecting anyone if that's how it sounded.
06:18Alright? My mouth, it just goes on autopilot.
06:20I mean, the same thing happened when I proposed to my ex.
06:22It took me about 20 minutes to get to the ring.
06:24Barclay.
06:26I need someone I can work with.
06:28Well, yeah.
06:30Of course you do, yeah.
06:32And I think I can work with you.
06:38Well...
06:40Hang on, but I mean...
06:42Five minutes ago, you were trying to get rid of me.
06:44I have to tread carefully.
06:46What all unit wants is a peaceful settlement.
06:48But there are levels and levels of politics at play here.
06:51International rivalries that go way back.
06:53Truth is, I've spent my whole life fighting for this planet.
06:58Now, with your help...
07:01I get to build a better world.
07:02For everyone.
07:04I don't want to let you down.
07:05I mean, I keep thinking about the time I mixed up the taxis and you ended up in...
07:08Sclaught, I remember.
07:10But Homo Aqua chose you for a reason.
07:13And I'm prepared to give you a chance.
07:16Okay.
07:21So what happens now?
07:23Now...
07:25Your life changes.
07:33The passengers transport now arriving at Diplomatic Hotel.
07:36Clear the corridors.
07:37Security protocols.
07:38All delegates and Diplomatic staff will be relocated for their own safety.
07:53All right, but for how long?
07:55What about my family? Can I call them?
07:56Okay.
07:57Dad.
07:58Hey, hey.
07:59What the hell's going on?
08:00I know, I know, I know, I know.
08:02Barclay will be present at dawn tomorrow.
08:05All negotiations will end.
08:07We hear you.
08:08That's what she said to him.
08:09We.
08:10And if that's true, how is she communicating with her people?
08:12Maybe she's wearing an implant.
08:13Well, they could have shared consciousness.
08:15Or some kind of mycorrhizal network.
08:16Maybe they've mastered sound in a way we don't understand.
08:19Using frequencies we can't even air.
08:21Like Mariah Carey.
08:23I noticed something earlier when Sir Jonathan presented the flower.
08:27Everyone focused on her, but look.
08:33The exact moment she inhales, they all do.
08:37Even the ones in the water.
08:40She's softening her language.
08:41She used sarcasm.
08:44Like she's learning, adapting.
08:46They want an everyman as ambassador.
08:48But is that what she is?
08:49Because she's extraordinary.
08:51Those remains are en route to the lab.
08:53And the H2O committee are kicking off.
08:55They want to see you.
08:57So we're just accepting her choice of ambassador.
09:00What if he's not up to it?
09:02Their race has survived under the sea for millennia
09:04with centuries of social, evolutionary and technological advantage.
09:08She's running this show.
09:09Whether we like it or not.
09:11Evening.
09:12Didn't think you were in tonight.
09:13I volunteered.
09:14Didn't want to miss this.
09:15Let's prep one for imaging.
09:16Careful.
09:18We'll take tissue samples.
09:19Prep some slides.
09:20Are you?
09:21You work in admin?
09:22You're not ambassador.
09:23You couldn't even finish your wedding speech.
09:24Only because your dad's speech.
09:25You work in admin.
09:26You work in admin.
09:27You're not ambassador.
09:28You couldn't even finish your wedding speech.
09:29Only because your dad spilled wine all over it.
09:30On purpose.
09:31So you're literally the person they're talking about on TV.
09:32Like all the time.
09:33Yeah but you can't say a word.
09:34Not to anyone.
09:35Who are we going to tell?
09:36We're prisoners.
09:37But dad is famous.
09:38Okay just look at the bright side.
09:39Look at the view.
09:40It's nice.
09:41And this room is amazing.
09:42It's nice.
09:43And this room is amazing.
09:44It's nice.
09:45It's nice.
09:46It's nice.
09:47It's nice.
09:48Am I the only person living in the real world right now?
09:49What about work?
09:50And school?
09:51Kirby's got that coach trip on Thursday.
09:52A coach trip?
09:53Yeah.
09:54Oh my God.
09:55What?
09:56What?
09:57What?
09:58What?
09:59What?
10:00What?
10:01What?
10:02What?
10:03What?
10:04What?
10:05What?
10:06What?
10:07What?
10:08What?
10:09What?
10:10What?
10:11What?
10:12What?
10:13What?
10:14What?
10:15What?
10:16What?
10:17A coach trip?
10:18Yeah.
10:19Oh I'm glad you've got your priorities in order.
10:20Never mind the massive international crisis.
10:21No I'm not sure the minibar's included.
10:23Sue me.
10:24So if you're an ambassador, does that mean you get to make like actual decisions?
10:29No.
10:30God.
10:31No.
10:32They've got like this whole committee who writes everything that's a policy.
10:33I just have to read it out.
10:34But then like why are you?
10:35I don't know.
10:36She just chose me.
10:37What's she like?
10:39Well...
10:40I mean she's kind of like us.
10:43But she's...
10:44I don't know.
10:47She's beautiful.
10:48Beautiful?
10:49Yeah.
10:50She's a fish.
10:51She's not a fish.
10:52She's not a fish and she's not a person.
10:54She's something else.
10:55Anyway, I'm not even supposed to be talking about this.
10:57Convenient.
10:58Barbara, do you really think I asked for this?
11:00I have no idea.
11:01Because it turns out my ex-husband, who can't even assemble flat pack furniture,
11:05is a secret agent who lied about his job and is now saving the world.
11:09So excuse me if I have questions.
11:11I'm making the most of this massive bath.
11:14Oh.
11:15We're putting an enormous amount of pressure on one man.
11:22I hope he's up to it.
11:28My father taught me to rely on instinct over intel.
11:32Trust my God.
11:33He'd say,
11:35We're putting an enormous amount of pressure on one man.
11:40I hope he's up to it.
11:45My father taught me to rely on instinct over intel.
11:50To trust my God.
11:52He'd say,
11:58He sounds very wise, your dad.
12:01He is.
12:02You should meet him.
12:07What does your instinct say?
12:10I've seen ordinary people achieve extraordinary things.
12:15But they're usually travelling with the doctor.
12:19And Barclay has you.
12:21By his side.
12:27The ocean's covered 71%
12:30Of this planet's surface.
12:33The human race is quite literally surrounded.
12:36And if it comes to war,
12:38I wonder if we even stand a chance.
12:42Let me take your mind off it.
12:44Let me take your mind off it.
12:54Are those tissue samples ready?
12:56Yep. Two seconds.
12:57Two seconds.
13:11Maybe.
13:12You're late.
13:35Your citizenship is approved.
13:38Welcome to Britain.
13:42What about my mother?
13:44Hey!
13:45What about my mother?
13:55Thanks, Maria.
13:57Hello, darling.
13:57Can't stop.
13:58Gallery opens Friday and Sue's got COVID.
14:00It's been chaos.
14:01Filming later, yeah?
14:02Yep.
14:02Oh, your guest.
14:03They're waiting in the dining room.
14:06General, sorry to keep you.
14:08Hey, take your time.
14:10Look at this spread.
14:10Homo aqua tissue samples.
14:13Know thine enemy.
14:16Oh, I haven't eaten all day.
14:18We know what they're going to ask for, right?
14:20What do we do?
14:21Don't worry.
14:22Feed the fish to us.
14:24It'll be the death of the energy industry.
14:25Of your livelihood.
14:27We've run simulations.
14:28Look at the impact of wars and the pandemic on Western economies and multiply that by a hundred.
14:34We'll be sliding into a recession.
14:36Public are already panicked.
14:37My mother was in the bank today and taking her accounts.
14:40Yeah.
14:41Which one?
14:43The president's sole focus is to protect the stability of the U.S. economy.
14:47And mine is to protect my companies.
14:51That's what we hoped you'd say.
14:52But with the unit running the diplomacy, there's constant opposition.
14:56Kate Lethbridge-Stewart has influence with the H2O committee and with your prime minister.
15:04Not to worry.
15:05Harry's attentions are divided at the moment and he always listens to his biggest donor.
15:10Good.
15:11We'll need you outside.
15:13We'll be brief.
15:14Oh, you had me at recession.
15:15Oh, shh.
15:33Oh, shh.
15:39How's he on the news?
15:45He's supposed to be a secret.
15:47The H2O diplomacy committee are denying all interview requests.
15:50The only thing we do know about Barclay-Pierre Dupont, our new ambassador, is that the world is watching.
15:57Copy that.
15:57The protein's clear.
15:58The protein's clear.
16:01Go on, Dad.
16:03Morning, Colonel.
16:05This is Bingham.
16:06Commander.
16:07What do we know about the leak?
16:08The photo was emailed to the press by an anonymous source.
16:11Except I've cross-matched the image with CCTV from the hotel.
16:16The photographer was General Dominique de Solier, the French representative.
16:20Cal surprise.
16:21She's been undermining NATO since she first drew breath.
16:24And if she discredits units, she gets more influence over the H2O committee.
16:28Get the French ambassador on the phone.
16:29I'm in the mood for bollocking.
16:31Press association is still demanding access to the hall.
16:33I'm not sure we want to get them offside.
16:35Fine, let them in.
16:36But no live TV.
16:37Fifty people maximum, and anyone who steps out of line gets barred.
16:45I'm sorry, General de Solier, your access to the hall has been revolved.
16:49Come with us, please.
16:51It's not possible.
16:52You can't refuse to enter.
16:53Just stick to the text on your screen, and you'll be fine.
16:57Keep your body language and your vocal tone neutral at all times.
16:59No crossed arms, no raised voice, no sign of aggression or impeachment.
17:03Everything you say or do or think has to come through us.
17:06What's the point of being ambassador if all I'm doing is reading?
17:08There is a team of 43 people working around the clock on this document.
17:12UN diplomats and wartime negotiators vetting every last syllable.
17:15Prime ministers, presidents, royalty.
17:17Frankly, it's a miracle we got past the contents page.
17:19You cannot go rogue.
17:20Are we ready?
17:21We're all behind you.
17:23Well, yeah, literally.
17:23I'm the one standing up there.
17:24You can do this.
17:28I can't stop shaking.
17:29Tell the press no camera flashes and keep an eye on Barclay's obs.
17:52Blood pressure 138 over 90.
17:54Bit high.
17:55Horses 82 and steady.
17:57Is Downing Street online?
17:59Prime Minister.
18:00Yes, we're here.
18:01All right.
18:02Good luck, everyone.
18:04Mrs. Bingham.
18:06Open seals.
18:28Ambassador, are you okay?
18:29Ambassador?
18:31Barclay.
18:32Oh, sorry.
18:33Yes, yes, yes.
18:34I'm here.
18:34This way.
18:34Hello.
18:35Hello, again.
19:02That's not scripted.
19:03Barclay.
19:04Barclay.
19:04Barclay.
19:04Barclay.
19:04Sorry.
19:05I bid you welcome, Ambassador, and bring to session this diplomatic congress.
19:14On behalf of all nations, I would like to say how sorry I am about your children.
19:19Are you a parent?
19:20Are you a parent?
19:21Are you a parent?
19:22Yes.
19:22Yes, yes, he's a parent.
19:24Teenage child, Kirby.
19:25Barclay, just say yes.
19:27Yes.
19:28I can't imagine what that was like for you.
19:31Your apology is appreciated.
19:33Now back to the text, please.
19:34Now back to the text, please.
19:36We begin today by hearing proposals to formalize our peace treaty.
19:39But first, we request a glass of water.
19:44Water from the river.
19:56From the river?
19:57What?
19:57They drink river water?
19:59Barclay, read the screen.
20:00We will arrange that immediately.
20:08Come on, come on, come on!
20:11Move, come on, come on!
20:18If Akka returns the agenda, we'd like to...
20:21We will wait.
20:23Okay.
20:25Oh, okay.
20:26They said Akka.
20:30Keep your eyes on the water.
20:39Don't turn your back.
20:40Not for one second.
21:00Glass requires decontamination.
21:03Shall I place it in the airlock?
21:04The water is not for us.
21:07It is for you.
21:12Sorry.
21:12Sorry, I don't understand.
21:14You will drink it.
21:15Hold on, Barclay.
21:16Get me intel on that water.
21:18You will drink.
21:20Just, like, actually drink it.
21:28E. coli is guaranteed.
21:29Dysentery, meningitis and Legionnaire's disease.
21:32Barclay, do not drink the water.
21:34What do I say?
21:35Stand by.
21:35Um, with respect, I am unable to drink this.
21:46Why?
21:48The water is contaminated.
21:49Why?
21:50She knows why.
21:51Skip to 16, paragraph 12.
21:54We're aware of the current pollution crisis, and...
21:56These are the words of a politician.
21:59Vetted and craven and hollow.
22:02You would answer.
22:04Barclay, stick to the script.
22:07Barclay, ambassador, refer to your screen.
22:19Why?
22:22Barclay, no.
22:23Because we were stupid.
22:28That's the truth of it.
22:32And the whole planet's going to hell right now
22:34because we didn't understand the consequences.
22:37But now you do.
22:39Yeah.
22:40Yeah, now we do.
22:41This is too risky.
22:43No, wait.
22:44Still, every day, water companies are pumping poison and sewage
22:46into our rivers and oceans,
22:47all the while dish-nap bonuses to their bosses.
22:49And the thing is, we are letting them get away with it.
22:52We just sat at home, flicking through our phones,
22:54making tea, thinking it's someone else's problem.
22:56But it's not.
22:57This is my fault.
22:58We all played our part.
23:00Now we have to help fix it.
23:01And the thing is,
23:02our kids know this.
23:04Our kids.
23:06They're way ahead of us.
23:08Why are we listening?
23:12Today's the day we stop.
23:15I think you are my favorite human.
23:22Oh, I feel amazing.
23:49I'm sorry, but I do.
23:50It's like I want to run.
23:51I just want to run for miles.
23:53I've got so much energy right there.
23:55What?
23:56You're ridiculous.
23:57You know, I was thinking about you today.
23:59When I was standing up there, like a lemon,
24:02I was thinking about all those things you told me,
24:03you and your hippie mates.
24:04They're not hippies, and that's not even a word anymore.
24:06Well, I just wish that I'd listen sooner.
24:09I'm listening now, I promise you.
24:11Who even are you?
24:13I don't know, but I like it.
24:15You're on telly again.
24:16You're always on telly, aren't you?
24:18They're calling you passionate.
24:19Passionate?
24:20That's me.
24:20You haven't been passionate since Christmas 2010.
24:23Oh, oh.
24:24What are you, I?
24:26That is true.
24:27Here, tastes better than river water.
24:30Mm.
24:31Do you know, it just hit me, just now.
24:34This is history in the making.
24:36Right now.
24:37And I'm part of it.
24:38I'm a historical figure.
24:40It's crazy, isn't it?
24:41Okay.
24:43So what's she like then, your fishy ambassador?
24:49Are you jealous?
24:50Please.
24:50She is.
24:51You're jealous.
24:53Can we order room service now?
24:55Sure.
24:58I'll have the fish.
24:59Join us.
25:00Join us.
25:01The H2O Committee have prepped new models for environmental regulation.
25:04The Greens have been trying to achieve these targets for decades.
25:07That time for you will be a challenge.
25:08The H2O Committee consulting with industry on that.
25:11Moving on, the French Consulate have lost an official complaint over General de Solier's
25:15removal from the hall.
25:17They want to reinstate it.
25:18Tough.
25:18Have they seen the evidence?
25:19She's denying it, and she has influence.
25:22I think it would be dangerous to shut her out.
25:24Fine.
25:24Fine.
25:25We've got bigger problems.
25:26Meanwhile, we've been debating communication theories, how the Hormo Aqua ambassador is
25:30able to send and receive information seemingly instantaneously.
25:34Yeah, we're looking into oceanic mycelium networks.
25:36Mycelium?
25:36That's the mushrooms.
25:37Mushrooms are the reproductive organs of mycelium networks.
25:40Wait, I'm eating reproductive organs on my toes.
25:42Mycelium networks are the fungal threads, believed to connect individual plants and trees
25:46to share and recycle vital minerals.
25:48A lot of these theories are debatable.
25:50Yes, I know.
25:51But if algae and fungi interact in a similar way when in water, or if water itself forms
25:56some kind of network, Hormo Aqua, Amphibia, Grandis, all these species could potentially
26:01be interconnected.
26:02Like a hive mind?
26:03What if the pearl is their connection point?
26:06Or filter?
26:07They're so far ahead of us, it's difficult to comprehend.
26:10We're literally children playing guessing games.
26:18What happened?
26:39Dad?
26:40Couldn't sleep.
26:42I just read your big speech again.
26:59Hm?
27:00It's more of a ramble.
27:01It made me proud, though.
27:02Really?
27:03But with all the attention, are you going to be safe doing this?
27:16Yeah, of course.
27:17Do you promise?
27:18Do you promise?
27:19Yes.
27:20Promise.
27:21They're moving you out of here tomorrow, putting you in a proper safe house, away from
27:29all this.
27:30Okay?
27:31I'd rather stay here with you.
27:33I'd rather stay here with you.
27:35The whole world's changing, Dad.
27:38Maybe it needed to.
27:40Maybe it's for the best.
28:01Your family will be moved to a safe house this morning.
28:02We're separating civilians from diplomatic staff.
28:03Look, how's the MF where it goes?
28:04No, I'm sorry.
28:05You're here all day.
28:06Berkeley High, Rosemary Hunt, nice suit.
28:07But what can you tell us about Homo Aqua's demands?
28:08How confident are you that we can achieve within ways?
28:09How are you coping under the pressure?
28:10What happens if you mess this up?
28:11What happens if you mess this up?
28:31Hiya.
28:32Text on screen, please.
28:49Once again, I bid you welcome and bring to session this diplomatic congress.
28:57World leaders have consulted with climate scientists and private enterprise on the side
29:01of the subject of ocean pollution.
29:03We can guarantee a 50% reduction by 2065.
29:07Further reduction will then be exponential.
29:092065?
29:10Correct.
29:1150%?
29:12Yes.
29:13Explain.
29:14It will take time to raise the finance and resources to tackle the problem.
29:26But world governments are committed to making it a priority.
29:2940 years?
29:30Yes, sir.
29:31This is unacceptable.
29:33An operation of this scale will stretch our resources to their limits.
29:38We regret we cannot guarantee a significant reduction of ocean pollution in a shorter timeframe.
29:43So this is your final offer.
29:49You've waited millions of years beneath the ocean.
29:50You've waited millions of years beneath the ocean.
29:52Now we are asking for just 40 more years to reset to give you what you want.
29:59You are asking for 15,000 revolutions of the sun.
30:07When scores of us are dying every day.
30:10Should we wait?
30:11Should we wait?
30:12While your engines deafen us?
30:16While your trawlers ravage our home?
30:20While we choke on your plastic and sewage?
30:25We cannot hear.
30:26We cannot hear.
30:27Or see.
30:28Or breathe.
30:29So tell me why we should live like this for just one day longer.
30:38I'm sorry.
30:39I'm sorry.
30:40I'm so sorry.
30:41I believe that you are sorry.
30:45But are your leaders?
30:46The world is united in its desire for meaningful change.
30:58Do they wish that they could achieve this sooner?
31:03Yes, of course.
31:06Do they want to accelerate this process?
31:13We are committed to undoing the damage we have inflicted on our planet.
31:17How committed?
31:20It is our greatest desire.
31:26Then we shall grant it.
31:33Sorry, what do you mean?
31:35Your greatest desire is happening.
31:43What's happening?
31:44I don't know.
32:10I don't know.
32:13Do you hear that?
32:14Is it a storm?
32:18That's no storm.
32:23It's plastic.
32:24Mum.
32:25Mum.
32:26Oh my god.
32:34Turn the car around.
32:35Turn it around.
32:36Get us out of here.
32:45It's happening everywhere all at once.
32:46The plastic is coming out the oceans into our cities.
32:48It's not just the oceans.
32:49It's coming out the Thames, out the Nile, the Hudson.
32:51Lock down the building.
32:52Get everyone to the lower levels.
32:54Yeah, come on.
32:55Move it.
32:56Keep going.
32:57Keep going.
32:58Keep going.
32:59Keep going.
33:00Barkley, we need to leave.
33:01Right now.
33:02Come on.
33:06Now!
33:07You have to stop!
33:08We are cleaning up your mess.
33:15Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait.
33:16You okay?
33:17Barkley, what's happening?
33:19They cleaned up the ocean, the plastic, the pollution, all of it.
33:21They're giving it back.
33:22But we're in a car.
33:23It's chaos.
33:24What?
33:25Outside?
33:26We can't get to the safe house.
33:27We can't cross the river.
33:28Just come to the hall.
33:30Check the driver.
33:31It's Imperial House.
33:32Imperial House?
33:33Can you take us to Imperial House?
33:34Let's go, let it go.
33:35Don't worry, okay?
33:36We're getting out.
33:37Run!
33:38You've got to go listen to me.
33:40We have to run for it.
33:41But I need to help the driver.
33:42See?
33:43No, don't let him.
33:44Listen!
33:45Get out and run in there and find your dad.
33:46I'll be running.
33:47Get out!
33:48Get out!
33:49Get out!
33:50Get out!
33:51Get out!
33:52Get out!
33:53Get out!
33:54Get out!
33:55Get out!
33:56Get out!
33:57Get out!
33:58Get out!
33:59Get out!
34:00Get out!
34:01Get out!
34:02Get out!
34:03Get out!
34:04Get out!
34:05Get out!
34:06Right behind you.
34:07Promise me.
34:08Just run!
34:09I promise.
34:10Go!
34:15Hey.
34:16Can you hear me?
34:21I'm so sorry.
34:22All right.
34:33Where are you?
34:35We're here.
34:36I'm Kirby.
34:36They're outside.
34:47Kirby!
34:48Kirby!
34:52Kirby!
34:54You can?
34:59Yeah.
35:00I've got him.
35:02Go, go, go.
35:10Come on, come on.
35:11Reports are coming in from all over the world, from dozens of major cities.
35:17All across Manhattan, the sky is raining plastic.
35:20The police have issued a directive. The streets are not safe. Everyone should stay indoors. Do not go outside.
35:33What have they done?
35:35They're declaring war.
35:50114 years after she began her maiden voyage, the Titanic has finally reached her destination, just one of the impossible sights of the streets of New York today. Streets that are now unrecognizable.
36:05World leaders have called for calm as the cleanup operation begins. Major cities around the world remain paralyzed with a damaged bill in the hundreds of billions.
36:14Former Albion party leader Felix Gladstock has branded Storm H2O as a call to arms. Every citizen of this planet is now at war. It is time to unite against the common enemy. Homo Aqua.
36:29I don't want to be able to think of humans on this planet. Why do I know? I can't. We would hear from the Apat. We would hear from the Apat. We would hear from the Apat. We would hear from the Apat.
36:41She's a fish. Barclay. You work in Apat. You're not ambassador. You have only language in your form, Ambassador. What is your response to you? Barclay. Barclay. Barclay. Barclay. Barclay. Barclay.
36:54Barclay. Barclay.
36:59Ambassador, we approach this Congress in good faith, that your actions have jeopardized the diplomatic process. Humantity want a peaceful settlement, not war.
37:09This war began a long time ago. And it was started by you. Now, we have simply returned what is yours.
37:22Look, there's words here I'm supposed to say, but the fact is you're cleverer than we are.
37:30That's obvious.
37:31He's off script again.
37:32This is like working with the doctor.
37:34Look, I understand why you did this.
37:36Really, I do.
37:37But it was a mistake.
37:39People were hurt.
37:41And my family were out there.
37:43And they could have died.
37:45Now things are worse.
37:46We're scared.
37:48When humans are scared, they do terrible things.
37:51Are you threatening us?
37:52No, no, no, no, no, no, definitely not.
37:54No, I'm sorry.
37:55I'm sorry.
37:55No, I'm not.
37:56Enough, Berkeley.
37:57I mean it.
37:57Oh, God help me.
37:58I'll come down there.
37:58Get back to the text.
38:04The United Nations of the Earth demand an armistice agreement with immediate effect for the duration of these talks to safeguard humanity and protect a path towards a long-term peace.
38:15There will be three conditions.
38:17One, that pollution of oceans and waterways ceases with immediate effect.
38:24Are you expecting this?
38:25Addendum 2, paragraph 1.
38:27World governments are working with industry on urgent solutions to this crisis.
38:30Our second requirement is formal designation of borders.
38:34Prepare for that too.
38:35Okay, this is good.
38:36We are happy to consider large areas of all seas that are exclusive to Homo Aqua.
38:40Areas are not acceptable to us.
38:44We require all water.
38:47What does she mean?
38:48Clarify that?
38:49Sorry, all water.
38:51The entirety of all oceans and waterways.
38:55Sorry, excuse me.
38:56We're an island nation.
38:57Are we permitted passage across the oceans?
38:59No, the human race evolved to live on land, not in the waters or the sky.
39:06She said sky.
39:08Do you want the skies now?
39:09You live in the ocean.
39:11The skies are not your concern.
39:13The air above the ocean is the ocean.
39:16This is our space.
39:18Are you seeking to ground all air transport?
39:21Transport over land is your concern.
39:25Transport across water will not be permitted.
39:28But that's ridiculous.
39:28Barclay, you're losing control.
39:30Trade between continents is an essential function of the modern world.
39:33Yes, our continent relies on food imports.
39:36We will take questions from the ambassador.
39:38Barclay, there's no prep for this.
39:40We don't have responses.
39:40You are amphibian.
39:42You don't own this guy.
39:43You cannot starve our people.
39:44We will take questions from the ambassador.
39:46You're holding us hostage.
39:47What about the channel tunnel?
39:48The world cannot function without cross-continental travel.
39:51How dare you?
39:52How dare you come in here and dictate the future of the human race?
39:56You are condemning developing countries to death.
39:58Emma!
40:08We will take questions from the ambassador.
40:11Only.
40:12Whoa.
40:13Voice has changed.
40:14Her intonation is male.
40:17Never mind the voice.
40:19Look at him.
40:20I'm getting spikes in testosterone, cortisol and keto-testosterone.
40:23What?
40:24So she's a man now?
40:25I...
40:25I don't know.
40:27Sorry.
40:30They're...
40:30They're sorry.
40:31They're...
40:32They're...
40:32Shut up.
40:36Shit.
40:37Damn.
40:39Shut up.
40:40How is she doing that?
40:51Incredible.
40:52Like I said, people are scared.
40:54They fear what they don't understand.
40:58But that means nothing.
40:59Well done, Barkey.
41:07We need time.
41:08These proposals aren't something we can solve in days or weeks or even months.
41:13But while we negotiate, we insist on a formal armistice to maintain peace between our species.
41:24We have given two conditions for this armistice.
41:28There is a third.
41:30And it is simple.
41:32We stand here in your rooms of concrete and steel and dust and light burning our eyes and our lungs.
41:44And we will endure no more.
41:47So our next meeting will be here.
41:54How are they doing this?
42:02Check those coordinates.
42:05North of the equator, just off the coast of West Africa.
42:08Is it an island?
42:09No.
42:09They want to meet on a ship.
42:10What's the third coordinate?
42:12South, west?
42:13What's M?
42:14Barclay, that's open water.
42:15Please clarify the third coordinate.
42:17Your metric unit for length and depth.
42:21You would like us to meet?
42:24Underwater.
42:26You talk of peace and equality.
42:30So prove your commitment.
42:32And meet us in our world.
42:35We're in a man's trench.
42:36One of the deepest waterways on the planet.
42:3825,000 feet, five miles down.
42:40Man's submersibles have imploded in less than half that.
42:43Barclay don't agree to anything.
42:44Will you meet her, Barclay?
42:47At the bottom of the ocean?
42:48Okay.
42:54Okay.
