00:00I suggest that this meeting is adjourned, while we regroup.
00:20His name's Barclay Pierre Dupont. He's a grade 10, works in logistics.
00:23Family.
00:24Ex-wife and teenage child.
00:25Bring them in, put them in an interview room. I want his file on my screen by the time I get downstairs.
00:30Kate Lethbridge-Stewart.
00:33Yeah, and now I book your taxis.
00:36Sit down.
00:39We weren't expecting this, obviously.
00:42Me either.
00:43So help me understand, out of nearly 8 billion humans on this planet, why do Homo Aqua want you as ambassador?
00:50I don't know.
00:51What communications have you had with Homo Aqua prior to today?
00:54None. Never.
00:57I mean, I had a goldfish once, is that relevant?
00:59This isn't a joke, Mr. Dupont.
01:00I'm not joking.
01:01He was called Simon.
01:04Right now, a team of experts are trawling through every detail of your private life.
01:08Every text message, every email, every photo, everyone you've ever met.
01:13Barclay Pierre Dupont, born 151182. Get me his immediate family.
01:16Yes, ma'am.
01:17Parents deceased. Married Barbara Numai, June 2003. Divorced November 2022. Split was amicable.
01:25Whatever he's done, we're not part of it. We're not even together.
01:29No, no, no.
01:30Sit down, sit down.
01:32Teenage child, Kirby, 16, lives with a mother studying A-levels.
01:36Seize all devices and bring them in professionally, right now.
01:38My family have got nothing to do with this.
01:41They don't even know I'm here. I never asked for this to happen.
01:44Okay?
01:46But I do want to help.
01:47And the thing is...
01:51Meet me.
01:53I'm alright?
01:55Well...
01:56Am I right?
02:00The first day of H2O diplomacy has concluded with an abrupt change of ambassador.
02:06Sir Jonathan Hines has made no comment over his dismissal,
02:09and the identity of the new ambassador has been suppressed.
02:13This man is the most important person on the planet.
02:16Don't we have a right to know who he is?
02:18We cannot allow a foreign species to dictate our diplomacy process.
02:22This is dangerous.
02:29Prime Minister.
02:30The H2O committee will not allow a random civilian to represent them.
02:32Okay, you're to go back in our room and tell him.
02:35We choose our ambassador, and the committee's decision is final.
02:39I do it myself, but...
02:40It doesn't look good, does it, if I'm the one in there when war breaks out?
02:43Not when you can blame unit.
02:45Sorry.
02:46That's not what I meant.
02:49But maybe it's better woman to woman.
02:51If that's what she is.
02:52Is that what she is?
02:53Not for...
02:55Please, Kate.
02:57We're relying on you.
02:58Thank you for this unscheduled consultation.
03:06I am Kate Lethbridge-Stewart, Commander-in-Chief of the Unified Intelligence Task Force and representative of the H2O committee.
03:14The committee has requested urgent action regarding the role of human ambassador.
03:18Rather than appoint this civilian, they request that you trust in our original candidate.
03:25You talk of trust.
03:28While meeting in secret.
03:31In the dark.
03:33We would hear from the ambassador.
03:36Mr. DuPont is unprepared.
03:38We would hear from the ambassador.
03:53Come closer.
03:54Hello.
03:55Do you have a name?
03:56Is that a thing?
03:57Because...
03:58I'm Barclay.
03:59It's Scottish.
04:00Well, my...
04:01My grammar's...
04:02Scottish.
04:03My grammar's...
04:04Scottish.
04:05My grammar's...
04:06My grammar's...
04:07Scottish.
04:08My...
04:09I...
04:10Do you have a name?
04:11Is that a thing?
04:12Because...
04:13I'm Barclay.
04:14It's Scottish.
04:15Well, my...
04:16My grammar's...
04:17Scottish.
04:18My grammar's...
04:19Scottish.
04:20My grammar's...
04:21Scottish.
04:22My title will not translate.
04:24But you...
04:26may call me Salt.
04:28Salt.
04:29Salt.
04:30Listen, I'm just a regular guy.
04:38I work in an office.
04:39I don't know about diplomacy and politics.
04:41I don't even know the decent suit.
04:42He chose you for your humanity and compassion,
04:46not your expertise.
04:48Your leaders would replace you.
04:51But what do you want?
04:53I'm fine with whatever they decide.
04:55No.
04:56What do you really think?
05:00I think this process is about everybody, right?
05:08The whole world.
05:10It's not just Prime Ministers and Presidents.
05:11It's real people like me.
05:13They worry about their bills and their kids.
05:16I mean, I'm a nobody.
05:17I get it, but I think...
05:21At least time, people like me had more of a voice.
05:24We hear you, Ambassador.
05:30It is decided.
05:32Your request has been heard and denied.
05:36Barclay will be present at dawn tomorrow.
05:39Or negotiations will end.
05:45Where are you taking me?
05:47Huh?
05:49What about my family?
05:49I don't want to be shot.
05:51No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
05:58Are you going to kill me?
06:01I forgot my gun.
06:03Really?
06:04No.
06:05Ah.
06:07Look, look, look, look, I'm not a spy.
06:09Or a collaborator.
06:10And I wasn't disrespecting anyone, if that's how it sounded.
06:12All right?
06:13My mouth, it just goes as an autopilot.
06:15I mean, the same thing happened when I proposed to my ex.
06:17It took me about 20 minutes to get to the ring.
06:18Barclay.
06:20I need someone I can work with.
06:23Well, yeah.
06:25Of course you do, yeah.
06:26And I think I can work with you.
06:28Well, hang on.
06:35I mean, like five minutes ago, you're trying to get rid of me.
06:38I have to tread carefully.
06:40All unit wants is a peaceful settlement.
06:42But there are levels and levels of politics at play here.
06:45International rivalries that go way back.
06:48Truth is, I've spent my whole life fighting for this planet.
06:53Now, with your help,
06:55I get to build a better world for everyone.
06:58I don't want to let you down.
07:00I mean, I keep thinking about the time I mixed up the taxis
07:02and you ended up in...
07:03Sklaut, I remember.
07:05But Homo Aqua chose you for a reason.
07:08And I'm prepared to give you a chance.
07:11Okay.
07:15So what happens now?
07:18Now,
07:20your life changes.
07:21The passengers' transport now arriving at Diplomatic Hotel.
07:30Clear the corridors.
07:31Clear the corridors.
07:45Security protocols.
07:46All delegates and Diplomatic staff will be relocated for their own safety.
07:48All right, but for how long?
07:49And what about my family?
07:51Can I call them?
07:51Barkley!
07:52Dad.
07:53Hey, hey.
07:54What the hell's going on?
07:55I know, I know, I know, I know.
07:56Barkley will be present at dawn tomorrow.
07:58All negotiations will end.
08:00We hear you.
08:01That's what she said to him.
08:02We.
08:03And if that's true, how is she communicating with her people?
08:06Maybe she's wearing an implant.
08:08Well, they could have shared consciousness or some kind of mycorrhizal network.
08:11Maybe they've mastered sound in a way we don't understand, using frequencies we can't even
08:15air.
08:16Like Mariah Carey.
08:17I noticed something earlier when Sir Jonathan presented the flower.
08:22Everyone focused on her, but look.
08:28The exact moment she inhales, they all do.
08:32Even the ones in the water.
08:35She's softening her language.
08:37She is sarcasm.
08:38Like she's learning, adapting.
08:41They want an everyman as ambassador.
08:43But is that what she is?
08:44Because she's extraordinary.
08:46Those remains are en route to the lab.
08:48And the H2O committee are kicking off.
08:50They want to see you.
08:52So we're just accepting her choice of ambassador.
08:54What if he's not up to her?
08:56Their race has survived under the sea for millennia with centuries of social, evolutionary and technological
09:01advantage.
09:02She's running this show.
09:04Whether we like it or not.
09:07Evening.
09:08Didn't think you were in tonight.
09:09I volunteered.
09:10Didn't want to miss this.
09:11Let's prep one for imaging.
09:12Careful.
09:13We'll take tissue samples.
09:14Prep some slides.
09:15You...
09:16You work in admin.
09:17You're not ambassador.
09:18You couldn't even finish your wedding speech.
09:19Only because your dad's built white.
09:20You work in admin.
09:21You're not ambassador.
09:26Only because your dad spilled wine all over it.
09:27On purpose.
09:28So you're literally the person they're talking about on TV.
09:29Like all the time.
09:30Yeah but you can't say a word.
09:31Not to anyone.
09:32Who are we going to tell?
09:33We're prisoners.
09:34But dad is famous.
09:35Okay, just look at the bright side.
09:36Look at the view.
09:37It's nice in this room.
09:38It's amazing.
09:39Isn't it?
09:40It's huge.
09:41Am I the only person living in the real world right now?
09:42What about work?
09:43And school?
09:44Kirby's got that coach trip on Thursday.
09:45A coach trip?
09:46No.
09:47A coach trip?
09:48No.
09:49No.
09:50No.
09:51No.
09:52No.
09:53No.
09:54No.
09:55No.
09:56No.
09:57No.
09:58No.
09:59No.
10:00No.
10:02No.
10:03No.
10:04No.
10:05No.
10:06No.
10:07No.
10:08No.
10:09No.
10:10No.
10:11No.
10:12Oh, I'm glad you got your priorities in order, never mind the massive international crises.
10:16No, I'm not sure the minibar's included.
10:18Sue me.
10:19So, if you're an ambassador, does that mean you get to make, like, actual decisions?
10:24No.
10:25God.
10:26No.
10:27They've got, like, this whole committee who writes everything that's a policy.
10:28I just have to read it out.
10:29But then, like, why are you?
10:30I don't know.
10:31She just chose me.
10:32What's she like?
10:33Well, she's kind of like us, but she's, like, I don't know.
10:41she's beautiful beautiful yeah she's a fish she's not a fish she's not a fish and she's not a person
10:48she's something else anyway i'm not even supposed to be talking about this convenient barbara do

10:59assemble flat pack furniture is a secret agent who lied about his job and is now saving the world
11:04so excuse me if i have questions i'm making the most of this massive bath
11:08we're putting an enormous amount of pressure on one man
11:32i hope he's up to it
11:38my father taught me to rely on instinct over intel trust my god he'd say
11:47he sounds very wise your dad
11:55he is you should meet him
11:58what does your instinct say

12:17the oceans cover 71 percent of this planet's surface
12:27the human race is quite literally surrounded and if it comes to war

13:12You're late.
13:30Your citizenship is approved.
13:33Welcome to Britain.
13:37What about my mother?
13:39Hey!
13:40What about my mother?
13:42Thanks, Maria.
13:52Hello, darling.
13:52I can't stop.
13:53The gallery opens Friday and Sue's got COVID.
13:55It's been chaos.
13:56Filming later, yeah?
13:57Yeah.
13:57Oh, your guest.
13:58They're waiting in the bathroom.
14:01General, sorry to keep you.
14:03Hey, take your time.
14:05Look at this spread.
14:06Homo aqua tissue samples.
14:08Know thine enemy.
14:09Oh, I haven't eaten all day.
14:13We know what they're going to ask for, right?
14:15What do we do?
14:16Don't worry.
14:17Leave the fish to us.
14:19It'll be the death of the energy industry, of your livelihood.
14:22We've run simulations.
14:24Look at the impact of wars and the pandemic on Western economies and multiply that by a hundred.
14:29We'll be sliding into a recession.
14:31Public are already panicked.
14:32My mother was in the bank today and take her account.
14:35Yeah.
14:36Which one?
14:36The president's sole focus is to protect the stability of the U.S. economy.
14:42And mine is to protect my company's.
14:46That's what we hoped he'd say.
14:47But with the unit running the diplomacy, there's constant opposition.
14:51Kate Lethbridge-Stewart has influence.
14:55With the H2O committee.
14:56And with your prime minister.
14:59Not to worry.
15:00Harry's attentions are divided at the moment.
15:02And he always listens to his biggest donor.
15:05Good.
15:06We'll need you on side.
15:08We'll be brief.
15:09Oh, you had me at recession.
15:10Oh, shh.
15:28Oh, shh.
15:34How's he on the news?
15:40He's supposed to be a secret.
15:42The H2O diplomacy committee are denying all interview requests.
15:46The only thing we do know about Barclay-Pierre Dupont, our new ambassador, is that the world is watching.
15:52Copy that.
15:52The route is clear.
15:53The route is clear.
15:56Go on, Dad.
15:59Morning, Colonel.
16:00This is Bingham.
16:01Commander.
16:01What do we know about the leak?
16:03The photo was emailed to the press by an anonymous source.
16:06Except I've cross-matched the image with CCTV from the hotel.
16:11The photographer was General Dominique de Solier, the French representative.
16:15Kelsey Preece.
16:16She's been undermining NATO since she first drew breath.
16:19And if she discredits units, she gets more influence over the H2O committee.
16:23Get the French ambassador on the phone.
16:24I'm in the mood for bollocking.
16:26Press association is still demanding access to the hall.
16:28I'm not sure we want to get them offside.
16:30Fine, let them in.
16:31But no live TV.
16:3250 people maximum.
16:33And anyone who steps out of line gets barred.
16:41I'm sorry, General Dursoli.
16:42Your access to the hall has been revoked.
16:44Come with us, please.
16:46It's inadmissible.
16:48You can't refuse to enter.
16:49Just stick to the text on your screen and you'll be fine.
16:52Keep your body language and your vocal tone mutual at all times.
16:54No crossed arms, no raised voice, no sign of aggression or impatience.
16:58Everything you say or do or think has to come through us.
17:01What's the point of being ambassador if all I'm doing is reading?
17:04There is a team of 43 people working around the clock on this document.
17:07UN diplomats and wartime negotiators vetting every last syllable.
17:10Prime ministers, presidents, royalty.
17:12Frankly, it's a miracle we got past the contents page.
17:14You cannot go rogue.
17:15Are we ready?
17:16We're all behind you.
17:18Well, yeah, literally.
17:18I'm the one standing up there.
17:20You can do this.
17:20I can't stop shaking.
17:44Tell the press no camera flashes and keep an eye on Barclay's obs.
17:47Low pressure 138 over 90.
17:49Bit high.
17:50Pulse is 82 and steady.
17:52Is Downing Street on line?
17:54Prime minister?
17:55Yes, we're here.
17:56All right.
17:57Good luck, everyone.
17:59Mrs Bingham.
18:01Open seals.
18:02Ambassador, are you okay?
18:25Ambassador?
18:26Barclay?
18:27Yeah.
18:27Oh, sorry.
18:28Yes, yes, yes.
18:29I'm here.
18:29Yes, ma'am.
18:32Hello again.
18:57That's not scripted.
18:59Barclay.
19:00Sorry.
19:00I bid you welcome, ambassador, and bring to session this diplomatic congress.
19:09On behalf of all nations, I would like to say how sorry I am about your children.
19:15Are you a parent?
19:17Yes.
19:18Yes, he's a parent.
19:19Teenage child, Kirby.
19:20Clark, you just say yes.
19:22Yes.
19:23I can't imagine what that was like for you.
19:25Your apology is appreciated.
19:29Now back to the text, please.
19:31We begin today by hearing proposals to formalize our peace treaty.
19:34But first, we request a glass of water.
19:39Um, is, well, is, is, is, is that coming?
19:47Water from the river.
19:51From the river?
19:52What?
19:52They drink river water?
19:54Barclay, read the screen.
19:57Uh, we will arrange that immediately.
19:59Go, go, go, go!
20:06Move, move, move, move, move!
20:14If, uh, Akka returns the agenda with license.
20:16We will wait.
20:18Okay.
20:20Oh, okay.
20:21They, they, they said, okay.
20:23Keep your eyes on the water.
20:34Don't turn your back.
20:35Not for one second.
20:36Uh, glass requires decontamination.
20:58Shall I place it in the airlock?
20:59The water is not for us.
21:02It is for you.
21:03Okay.
21:06Sorry.
21:08Sorry, I don't, I don't understand.
21:09You will drink it.
21:10Hold on, Barclay.
21:11Get me intel on that water.
21:13You will drink.
21:15Uh.
21:20Just, like, actually drink it?
21:23E. coli is guaranteed.
21:25Dysentery, meningitis, and Legionnaire's disease.
21:27Barclay, do not drink the water.
21:29What do I, what do I say?
21:30Stand by.
21:36Um, with respect, I am unable to drink this.
21:41Why?
21:43Water is contaminated.
21:44Why?
21:45She knows why.
21:46Skip to 16, paragraph 12.
21:49We're aware of the current pollution crisis, and I've been...
21:51These are the words of a politician.
21:54Vetted and craven and hollow.
21:57You would answer.
21:59Barclay, stick to the script.
22:02Barclay, ambassador, refer to your screen.
22:04Why?
22:17Barclay, no.
22:20Because we were stupid.
22:23That's the truth of it.
22:27And the whole planet's going to hell right now because we didn't understand the consequences.
22:32But now you do.
22:33Yeah.
22:35Yeah, now we do.
22:36This is too risky.
22:38No, Wade.
22:39Still, every day, water companies are pumping poison and sewage into our rivers and oceans,
22:42all the while dishing out bonuses to their bosses.
22:44And the thing is, we are letting them get away with it.
22:48We're just sat at home, flicking through our phones, making tea, thinking it's someone else's problem.
22:51But it's not.
22:52This is my fault.
22:53We all played our part.
22:55Now we have to help fix it.
22:56And the thing is, our kids know this.
22:59Our kids.
23:01They're way ahead of us.
23:04Why aren't we listening?
23:07Today's the day we stop.
23:10I think you are my favorite human.
23:17I think you are my favorite human.
23:17I think you are my favorite human.
23:21I think you are my favorite human.
23:23You are my favorite human.
23:26I think you are my favorite human.
23:27Oh, I feel amazing.
23:44I'm sorry, but I do.
23:45It's like I want to run.
23:46I just want to run for my...
23:48I've got so much energy right there.
23:50What?
23:51You're ridiculous.
23:52You know, I was thinking about you today.
23:54When I was standing up there, like a lemon.
23:57I was thinking about all those things you told me.
23:58You and your hippie mates.
23:59They're not hippies.
24:00And that's not even a word anymore.
24:01Well, I just wish that I'd listen sooner.
24:04But I'm listening now.
24:06I promise you.
24:06Who even are you?
24:08I don't know, but I like it.
24:10You're on telly again.
24:11You're always on telly, aren't you?
24:13They're calling you passionate.
24:14Passionate?
24:15What's me?
24:15You haven't been passionate since Christmas 2010.
24:19I need a treat.
24:22Here.
24:23It tastes better than river water.
24:25Oh.
24:27Do you know, it just hit me, just now.
24:29This is history, in the making.
24:31Right now.
24:32And I'm part of it.
24:34I'm a historical figure.
24:35It's crazy, isn't it?
24:36Okay.
24:38So what's she like, then?
24:40Your fishy ambassador?
24:44Are you jealous?
24:45Please.
24:46She is.
24:46You're jealous?
24:48Can we order room service now?
24:50Sure.
24:51Sure.
24:51I'll have the fish.
24:56The H2O Committee have prepped new models for environmental regulation.
24:59The Greens have been trying to achieve these targets for decades.
25:02That time frame will be a challenge.
25:03The H2O Committee consulting with industry on that.
25:06Moving on, the French Consulate have lost an official complaint over General de Solier's removal from the hall.
25:12They want to reinstate it.
25:13Tough, they've seen the evidence.
25:14She's denying it, and she has influence.
25:17I think it would be dangerous to shut her out.
25:19Fine.
25:19Fine.
25:20We've got bigger problems.
25:21Meanwhile, we've been debating communication theories, how the Homo aqua ambassador is able to send and receive information seemingly instantaneously.
25:29Yeah, we're looking into oceanic mycelium networks.
25:31Mycelium?
25:31That's the mushrooms.
25:32Mushrooms are the reproductive organs of mycelium networks.
25:35Wait, I'm eating reproductive organs on my toes.
25:37Mycelium networks are the fungal threads, believed to connect individual plants and trees to share and recycle vital minerals.
25:43A lot of these theories are debatable.
25:45Yes, I know.
25:46But if algae and fungi interact in a similar way when in water, or if water itself forms some kind of network,
25:52Homo aqua, amphibia, grandis, all these species could potentially be interconnected.
25:57Like a hive mind?
25:58What if the pearl is their connection point?
26:01Or a filter.
26:02They're so far ahead of us, it's difficult to comprehend.
26:05We're literally children playing guessing games.
26:07ич an idea.
26:08We're drinking consuming power and mettre something from the tree.
26:24We're talking to humans.
26:31We're in pain.
26:33Once we get moving, we're thinking a volte.
26:35What happened?
26:39Couldn't sleep?
26:51I just read your big speech again.
26:55It's more of a ramble.
26:59Made me...
27:01made me proud, though.
27:03Really?
27:05But...
27:07with all the attention,
27:09are you gonna be safe doing this?
27:11Yeah, of course.
27:13Promise?
27:15Yes. Promise.
27:19They're moving you out of here tomorrow.
27:21Putting you in a proper safe house.
27:23Away from all this.
27:25Okay?
27:27I'd rather stay here with you.
27:29The whole world's changing, Dad.
27:33Maybe I needed to.
27:35Maybe it's for the best.
27:37The whole world's changing,
27:39and you do it.
27:41we'd rather work and walk.
27:43I find it.
27:45I think he wasn't for the future.
27:47The end of the world's changing,
27:49and I think I'm holding in the face.
27:51The end of the world's changing,
27:53Your family will be moved to a safe house this morning.
28:05We're separating civilians from diplomatic staff.
28:07Look, how's the MF1 going?
28:08I'm sorry, we're here all day.
28:09Barkley High, Rosemary Hunt, nice suits.
28:11But what can you tell us about Homo Aquis demands?
28:14How confident are you that we can achieve what they want?
28:16How are you coping under the pressure?
28:18What happens if you mess this up?
28:23Hiya.
28:43Text on screen, please.
28:46Once again, I bid you welcome and bring to session this diplomatic congress.
28:51World leaders have consulted with climate scientists and private enterprise on the subject of ocean pollution.
28:59We can guarantee a 50% reduction by 2065.
29:03Further reduction will then be exponential.
29:052065.
29:07Correct.
29:0950%.
29:10Yes.
29:13Explain.
29:14It will take time to raise the finance and resources to tackle the problem.
29:21But world governments are committed to making it a priority.
29:2440 years.
29:26Yes, sir.
29:28This is unacceptable.
29:30An operation of this scale will stretch our resources to their limits.
29:34We regret we cannot guarantee a significant reduction of ocean pollution in a shorter time frame.
29:39So this is your final offer.
29:45You've waited millions of years beneath the ocean.
29:49Now we are asking for just 40 more years to reset to give you what you want.
29:55You are asking for 15,000 revolutions of the sun.
30:01When scores of us are dying every day, should we wait while your engines deafen us, while your trawlers ravage our home, while we choke on your plastic and sewage?
30:20We cannot hear, or see, or breathe.
30:27So tell me why we should live like this for just one day longer.
30:36I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
30:40I believe that you are sorry.
30:43But are your leaders?
30:45The world is united in its desire for meaningful change.
30:54Do they wish that they could achieve this sooner?
31:00Yes, of course.
31:02Do they want to accelerate this process?
31:08We are committed to undoing the damage we've inflicted on our planet.
31:13How committed?
31:13It is our greatest desire.
31:21Then we shall grant it.
31:29Sorry, what do you mean?
31:30Your greatest desire is happening.
31:34I know.
31:34I know.
31:36I know.

35:06Reports are coming in from all over the world, from dozens of major cities.
35:11All across Manhattan, the sky is raining plastic.
35:15Please come to the security area.
35:19This is an attack.
35:20The police have issued a directive. The streets are not safe. Everyone should stay indoors. Do not go outside.
35:28What have I done?
35:30They're declaring war.
35:45114 years after she began her maiden voyage, the Titanic has finally reached her destination.
35:54Just one of the impossible sights of the streets of New York today.
35:58Streets that are now unrecognizable.
36:00World leaders have called for calm as the cleanup operation begins.
36:03Major cities around the world remain paralyzed with a damaged bill in the hundreds of billions.
36:08Former Albion party leader Felix Gladstock has branded Storm H2O as a call to arms.
36:14Every citizen of this planet is now at war.
36:17It is time to unite against the common entity.
36:21HOMO AQUA!
36:23HOMO AQUA!
36:29We would hear from the ambassador.
36:30We would hear from the ambassador.
36:32We would hear from the ambassador.
36:34We would hear from the ambassador.
36:36She's a fish.
36:37Bucklish.
36:38You're working at me.
36:39You're not an ambassador.
36:40Your body language in your form ambassador.
36:42Everything you say or do has to come through.
36:44Buckley.
36:45Buckley!
36:46Buckley!
36:47Buckley!
36:48Buckley!
36:53Ambassador, we approach this Congress in good faith that your actions have jeopardized
36:59the diplomatic process.
37:01Humanity wants a peaceful settlement, not war.
37:04This war began a long time ago.
37:08And it was started by you.
37:10Now, 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.
37:25That's obvious.
37:26He's off script again.
37:27This is like working with a doctor.
37:28Look, I understand why you did this.
37:30Really, I do.
37:31But it was a mistake.
37:34People were hurt.
37:35And my family were out there.
37:37And they could have died.
37:39Now things are worse.
37:41We're scared.
37:43When humans are scared, they do terrible things.
37:45Are you threatening us?
37:46No, no, no, no, no, no, definitely not.
37:48No, I'm sorry.
37:49I'm sorry.
37:50No, I'm not.
37:51Enough, Buckley.
37:52I mean it.
37:53Oh, God help me.
37:54The United Nations of the Earth demand an armistice agreement with immediate effect for
38:03the duration of these talks to safeguard humanity and protect a path towards long-term peace.
38:10There will be three conditions.
38:13One, that pollution of oceans and waterways ceases with immediate effect.
38:19You're expecting this.
38:20Addendum 2, paragraph 1.
38:21World governments are working with industry on urgent solutions to this crisis.
38:25Our second requirement is formal designation of borders.
38:28Prepare for that too.
38:29Okay, this is good.
38:30We are happy to consider large areas of all seas that are exclusive to Homo Aqua.
38:35Areas are not acceptable to us.
38:39We require all water.
38:42What does she mean?
38:43Clarify that?
38:44Sorry, all water.
38:45The entirety of all oceans and waterways.
38:49Sorry, excuse me, we're an island nation.
38:52Are we permitted passage across the oceans?
38:54No.
38:55The human race evolved to live on land, not in the waters or the sky.
39:01She said sky.
39:02Do you want the skies now?
39:04You live in the ocean.
39:05The skies are not your concern.
39:07The air above the ocean is the ocean.
39:10This is our space.
39:12Are you seeking to ground all air transport?
39:15Transport over land is your concern.
39:19Transport across water will not be permitted.
39:22But that's ridiculous.
39:23Barclay, you're losing control.
39:24Trade between continents is an essential function of the modern world.
39:27Yes, our continent relies on food imports.
39:30We will take questions from the ambassador.
39:32Barclay, there's no prep for this.
39:34We don't have responses.
39:35You're amphibian.
39:36You don't own this guy.
39:37You cannot stab our people.
39:38We will take questions from the ambassador.
39:40You're holding us hostage.
39:41What about the channel tunnel?
39:42The world cannot function without cross-continental travel.
39:45How dare you?
39:46How dare you come in here and dictate the future of the human race?
39:50You are condemning developing countries to death.
39:52We will take questions from the ambassador.
40:06Only.
40:07Whoa, voice has changed.
40:09Her incarnation is male.
40:11Never mind the voice.
40:13Look at him.
40:15I'm getting spikes in testosterone, cortisol and ketotestosterone.
40:18What? So she's a man now?
40:19I... I don't know.
40:22Sorry.
40:24They... they... they're sorry.
40:26They're... they're... shut up.
40:30Sit down.
40:34And shut up.
40:44How is she doing that?
40:45Incredible.
40:46Like I said, people are scared.
40:48They fear what they don't understand.
40:52They don't mean to a thing.
40:58Well done, Bonky.
41:02We need time.
41:04These proposals aren't something we can solve in days or weeks or even months.
41:08But while we negotiate, we insist on a formal armistice to maintain peace between our species.
41:20We have given two conditions for this armistice.
41:22There is a third.
41:24There is a third.
41:25And it is simple.
41:26We stand here in your rooms of concrete and steel and dust and light burning our eyes and our lungs.
41:38And we will endure no more.
41:40No more.
41:43So our next meeting...
41:45will be here.
41:46We'll be here.
41:55But that's an ocean.
41:56How are they doing this?
41:57Check those coordinates.
42:00North of the equator.
42:01Just off the coast of West Africa.
42:02Is it an island?
42:03No.
42:04They want to meet on a ship.
42:05What's the third coordinate?
42:06South?
42:07West?
42:08What's M?
42:09Barkley, that's open water.
42:10Please clarify the third coordinate.
42:11Your metric unit for length and depth.
42:16You would like us to meet...
42:20underwater?
42:21You talk of peace...
42:23and equality.
42:25So prove your commitment.
42:27And meet us in our world.
42:29Roman's Trench.
42:30One of the deepest waterways on the planet.
42:3225,000 feet, five miles down.
42:34Man's submersibles have imploded in less than half that.
42:37Barkley don't agree to anything.
42:39Will you meet us, Barkley?
42:40At the bottom of the ocean?
42:48Okay.
