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...
04:04My grammar's...
04:05Scottish.
04:06My grammar's sc...
04:07Scottish.
04:08My title will not translate.
04:10But you...
04:11May call me Salt.
04:12Salt.
04:13I...
04:14I...
04:15I...
04:16I...
04:17I...
04:18I...
04:19I...
04:20I...
04:21I...
04:22I...
04:23I...
04:24I...
04:25I...
04:26I...
04:27I...
04:28I...
04:29I...
04:30I...
04:31I...
04:32I...
04:35Listen.
04:36I'm just a regular guy.
04:38I work in an office.
04:39I don't know about diplomacy or politics.
04:41I don't even have a decent suit.
04:43He 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.
04:56No.
04:57What do you really think?
05:02I think...
05:06This process is about everybody, right?
05:08The whole world.
05:10It's not just Prime Ministers and Presidents.
05:12It's real people, like me.
05:14Who worry about their bills.
05:16And their kids. I mean, I'm a nobody.
05:18I get it, but I think...
05:21At least time, people like me had more of a voice.
05:24We hear you.
05:27Ambassador.
05:30It is decided.
05:32Your request has been heard...
05:34And denied.
05:36Barclay will be present at dawn tomorrow.
05:39Or negotiations will end.
05:45Where are you taking me?
05:47Huh?
05:48What about my family?
05:50Please, I don't want to be shot.
05:52No, no, no, no, no.
05:54Are you going to kill me?
05:59I forgot my gun.
06:03Really?
06:04No.
06:05Ah.
06:06Look, look, look, look.
06:08I'm not a spy.
06:09Or a collaborator.
06:10And I wasn't disrespecting anyone, if that's how it sounded.
06:12Alright?
06:13My mouth, it just goes 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.
06:19Barclay.
06:20I need someone I can work with.
06:22Well, yeah.
06:25Of course you do, yeah.
06:27And I think I can work with you.
06:34Well, hang on.
06:35I mean, about five minutes ago, you were trying to get rid of me.
06:38I have to tread carefully.
06:39But all 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.
06:52Now, with your help, I get to build a better world for everyone.
06:58I don't want to let you down.
06:59I mean, I keep thinking about the time I mixed up the taxis and 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.
07:16So what happens now?
07:18Now.
07:20Your life changes.
07:28The passengers transport now arriving at Diplomatic Hotel.
07:30Clear the corridors.
07:34Not yet.
07:37Not yet.
07:42Security protocols.
07:45All delegates and Diplomatic staff will be relocated for their own safety.
07:48Alright, but for how long?
07:50What about my family? Can I call them?
07:51Buckley!
07:53Dad!
07:55What the hell's going on?
07:56I know, I know, I know, I know.
07:58Barkley will be present at dawn tomorrow.
07:59Our negotiations will end.
08:02We hear you. That's what she said to him, we.
08:05And if that's true, how is she communicating with her people?
08:07Maybe she's wearing an implant.
08:08Well, they could have shared consciousness.
08:10Or some kind of mycorrhizal network.
08:11Maybe they've mastered sound in a way we don't understand,
08:14using frequencies we can't even hear.
08:16Like Mariah Carey.
08:17I noticed something earlier when Sir Jonathan presented the flower.
08:22Everyone focused on her, but look.
08:23The exact moment she inhales, they all do.
08:32Even the ones in the water.
08:35She's softening her language.
08:37She used sarcasm.
08:38Like she's learning, adapting.
08:41They want an everyman as ambassador.
08:43But is that what she is? Because she's extraordinary.
08:45Those remains are en route to the lab.
08:48And the H2O committee are kicking off.
08:50They want to see you.
08:51So we're just accepting her choice of ambassador.
08:54What if it's not up to her?
08:56Their race has survived under the sea for millennia
08:59with centuries of social, evolutionary and technological advantage.
09:02She's running this show.
09:04Whether we like it or not.
09:13Evening.
09:15Didn't think you were in tonight.
09:17I volunteered. Didn't want to miss this.
09:19Let's prep one for imaging.
09:21Careful.
09:32We'll take tissue samples.
09:34Prep some slides.
09:35You're wagging admin.
09:44You're not ambassador.
09:46You couldn't even finish your wedding speech.
09:48Only because your dad spilled wine all over it.
09:50On purpose.
09:51So you're literally the person they're talking about on TV.
09:53Like all the time.
09:54Yeah, but you can't say a word not to anyone.
09:56Who are we going to tell? We're prisoners.
09:58But dad is famous.
09:59Okay, just look at the bright side. Look at the view.
10:01It's nice and this room is amazing, isn't it? It's huge.
10:04Am I the only person living in the real world right now?
10:06What about work? And school? Kirby's got that coach trip on Thursday.
10:11A coach trip?
10:12Yeah.
10:12Oh, I'm glad you've got your priorities in order. Never mind the massive international crisis.
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, God, no. They'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. She just chose me.
10:33What's she like?
10:35Well, I mean, she's kind of like us.
10:38But she's, like, I don't know.
10:40She's beautiful.
10:43Beautiful?
10:44Yeah.
10:44She's a fish.
10:45She's not a fish.
10:47She's not a fish and she's not a person.
10:49She's something else.
10:50Anyway, I'm not even supposed to be talking about this.
10:52Convenient.
10:52Barbara, do you really think I asked for this?
10:55I have no idea.
10:57Because it turns out my ex-husband, who can't even assemble flat pack furniture,
11:01is a secret agent who lied about his job and is now saving the world.
11:04So, excuse me if I have questions.
11:06I'm making the most of this massive bath.
11:10We're putting an enormous amount of pressure on one man.
11:35I hope he's up to it.
11:36My father taught me to rely on instinct over intel.
11:45Trust my gut.
11:47He'd say,
11:48Ibnayi bilhaayati tikhl ala alhaimak.
11:51He sounds very wise, your dad.
11:56He is.
11:57You should meet him.
12:02What does your instinct say?
12:05I've seen ordinary people achieve extraordinary things.
12:10But they're usually traveling with the doctor.
12:12And Barclay has you, by his side.
12:22The oceans cover 71% of this planet's surface.
12:28The human race is quite literally surrounded.
12:31And if it comes to war,
12:33I wonder if we even stand a chance.
12:38Let me take your mind off it.
12:49Are those tissue samples ready?
12:51Yep.

19:00Sorry.
19:04I bid you welcome, Ambassador,
19:06and bring to session this diplomatic Congress.
19:09On behalf of all nations, I would like to say
19:11how sorry I am about your children.
19:15Are you a parent?
19:17Yes. Yes, he's a parent. Teenage child, Kirby.
19:20Barkley, 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
19:33to formalise our peace treaty.
19:34But first, we request
19:37a glass of water.
19:42Um, is...
19:44Well, is that...
19:45Can we...
19:46Water from the river.
19:51From the river?
19:52What? They drink river water?
19:54Barkley, read the screen.
19:57Uh, we will arrange that immediately.
20:03Go, go, go, go!
20:06Move, move, move, move, move, move!
20:14If Akka returns the agenda with license...
20:16We will wait.
20:18Okay.
20:20No, okay, they...
20:22They said okay.
20:23Come to formation!
20:29Enough!
20:29Quick as you can!
20:32Keep 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.
21:00It is for you.
21:07Sorry.
21:08Sorry, I don't...
21:08I don't understand.
21:09You will drink it.
21:10Hold on, Barkley.
21:11Get me intel on that water.
21:13You will drink.
21:15Uh...
21:16Just, like, actually drink it.
21:23E. coli is guaranteed.
21:25Dysentery, meningitis and Legionnaire's disease.
21:27Barkley, do not drink the water.
21:29What do I say?
21:30Stand by.
21:30Um, with respect, I am unable to drink this.
21:41Why?
21:43The water is contaminated.
21:44Why?
21:45She knows why.
21:46Skip to 16, paragraph 12.
21:47We're aware of the current pollution crisis, and...
21:51These are the words of a politician.
21:54Vetted and craven and hollow.
21:57You would answer.
21:59Barkley, stick to the script.
22:02Barkley, ambassador, refer to your screen.
22:15Why?
22:17Barkley, 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.
22:34Yeah.
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 dished 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?
23:05Today's the day we stop.
23:15I think you are my favorite human.
23:17I think you are my favorite human.
23:17I think you are my favorite human.
23:47I just want to run for miles.
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, I was thinking about all those things you told me,
23:58you and your hippie mates.
23:59They're not hippies, and that's not even a word anymore.
24:01Well, I just wish that I'd listen sooner.
24:04But I'm listening now.
24:05I 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.
24:19What are you, eh?
24:21I need a treat.
24:22Here.
24:23It tastes better than river water.
24:25Hmm.
24:26Do 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.
24:36So what's she like, then?
24:40Your fishy ambassador.
24:44Are you jealous?
24:45Please.
24:46She is.
24:46You are jealous?
24:48Can we order room service now?
24:51Sure.
24:53I'll have the fish.
24:54Join us.
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 for you 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
25:10removal 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 Hormo aqua ambassador is able
25:25to 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
25:41to share and recycle vital minerals.
25:43A lot of these theories are debatable.
25:44Yes, I know.
25:46But if algae and fungi interact in a similar way when in water,
25:49or if water itself forms some kind of network.
25:52Hormo 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 filter.
26:02God, they're so far ahead of us, it's difficult to comprehend.
26:05We're literally children playing guessing games.
26:07I know that they're just in jail.
26:25I think it's just a purpose of reading.
26:26I think it's a purpose of reading.
26:29And you know what they're doing?
26:30Have a great question.
26:32I'm the CMS pequeños.
26:32What happened?
26:39Couldn't sleep?
26:49I just read your big speech again.
26:55It's more of a ramble.
27:00It made me proud, though.
27:05Really?
27:07But with all the attention, are you going to be safe doing this?
27:12Yeah, of course.
27:14Promise?
27:15Yes.
27:16Promise.
27:20They're moving you out of here tomorrow.
27:22Putting you in a proper safe house, away from all this.
27:25Okay?
27:28I'd rather stay here with you.
27:30The whole world's changing, Dad.
27:33Maybe it needed to.
27:35Maybe it's for the best.
27:37Mm.
27:40The most part of the film will be moved to a safe house this morning.
27:44Your family will be moved to a safe house this morning.
28:05We're separating civilians from diplomatic staff.
28:07Look, how's the MFO going?
28:08I'm sorry, you're here all day.
28:09Barkley High, Rosemary Hunt, nice suit.
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?
28:41Hiya.
28:42Text on screen, please.
28:46Once again, I bid you welcome and bring to session this diplomatic congress.
28:52World leaders have consulted with climate scientists and private enterprise on the subject of ocean pollution.
28:58We can guarantee a 50% reduction by 2065.
29:03Further reduction will then be exponential.
29:052065.
29:06Correct.
29:0850%.
29:09Yes, sir.
29:14Explain.
29:17It 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.
29:2540 years.
29:25Yes, sir.
29:29This 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.
29:47Now we are asking for just 40 more years to reset to give you what you want.
29:54You are asking for 15,000 revolutions of the sun when scores of us are dying every day.
30:06Should we wait while your engines deafen us?
30:10While your trawlers ravage our home?
30:15While we choke on your plastic and sewage?
30:21We 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.
30:37I'm so sorry.
30:38I believe that you are sorry.
30:43But are your leaders?
30:47The 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 have inflicted on our planet.
31:13How committed?
31:15It is our greatest desire.
31:21Then we shall grant it.
31:29Sorry, what do you mean?
31:30Your greatest desire is happening.
31:34Your greatest desire is happening.
31:34I hope it is.
31:43I won't care.
31:45I will not.
31:47The world is me.
31:58What's happening?
32:06I don't know.
32:08Do you hear that?
32:10Is it a storm?
32:13There's no storm.
32:18It's plastic.
32:20Mum.
32:21Mum.
32:21Oh my God.
32:28Turn the car around.
32:31Turn it around.
32:31Get us out of here.
32:41It's happening everywhere all at once.
32:42The plastic's coming out the oceans into our cities.
32:44It's not just the oceans.
32:46It's coming out the Thames, out the Nile, the Hudson.
32:48Lock down the building.
32:49Get everyone to the lower levels.
32:51Come on.
32:52Come on.
32:52Move it.
32:53Keep going.
32:54Keep going.
32:56Barkley, we need to leave.
32:57Right now.
32:57Come on.
32:58Now, you have to stop.
33:04We are cleaning up your mess.
33:10Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait.
33:12You okay?
33:13Barkley, what's happening?
33:15They're cleaning up the ocean.
33:16The plastic, the pollution, all of it.
33:17They're giving it back.
33:18But we're in a car.
33:19It's chaos.
33:20What?
33:20You're outside.
33:21We can't get to the safe house.
33:22We all cross the river.
33:25Just come to the hall.
33:26Tell the driver.
33:26It's Imperial House.
33:27Imperial House.
33:28Can you take us to Imperial House?
33:44Let's go.
33:44Let it go.
33:45Don't worry, okay?
33:46We'll get out.
33:49Barkley, listen to me.
33:53We have to run for it.
33:54But I need to help the driver.
33:55See?
33:56No, don't look at him.
33:56Listen.
33:57Get out and run in there and find your dad.
33:59I'll be right behind you.
34:00Promise me.
34:01Just run.
34:01I promise.
34:02Go.
34:11Hey.
34:11Can you hear me?
34:13I'm so sorry.
34:18I'm so sorry.
34:28Barkley!
34:29Where are you?
34:30We're here.
34:30We're here.
34:31Find Kirby.
34:31They're outside.
34:42Kirby!
34:43Kirby!
34:43Kirby!
34:49Get down!
34:53You okay?
34:54Yeah.
34:55Let's go.
34:56Go, go, go, go, go!
35:01Go, go, go, go!
35:02Go, go, go, go!
35:06Reports are coming in from all over the world, from dozens of major cities.
35:10All across Manhattan, the sky is raining plastic.
35:15It's something that's going to be issued a directive.
35:22The streets are not safe.
35:24Everyone should stay indoors.
35:25Do not go outside.
35:28What are they done?
35:30They're declaring war.
35:31One hundred and fourteen years after she began her maiden voyage, the Titanic has finally
35:54reached her destination.
35:55Just 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.
36:04Major cities around the world remain paralyzed with a damage bill in the hundreds of billions.
36:09Former Albion Party leader Felix Gladstock has branded Storm H2O as a call to arms.
36:15Every citizen of this planet is now at war.
36:18It is time to unite against the common enemy.
36:22Homo Aqua.
36:24War.
36:25War.
36:25War.
36:26War.
36:28War.
36:29War.
36:31War.
36:35War.
36:36War.
36:37War.
36:37War.
36:38Mal.
36:38War.
36:38Barclay.
36:39John.
36:39You work in admin? You're not an ambassador.
36:41Your body language in your form, Ambassador.
36:43What is your response?
36:43Everything you say or do has to come through.
36:46We shall have a chance to meet you.
36:47We shall have a chance to meet you.
36:48Barclay!
36:53Ambassador, we approach this Congress in good faith
36:57that your actions have jeopardized the diplomatic process.
37:02Humanity wants a peaceful settlement, not war.
37:05This war began a long time ago.
37:08And it was started by you.
37:11Now, we have simply returned what is yours.
37:22Look, there's words here I'm supposed to say,
37:24but 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 the doctor.
37:29Look, I understand why you did this.
37:31Really, I do.
37:32But it was a mistake.
37:34People were hurt.
37:36And my family were out there.
37:37And they could have died.
37:40Now things are worse.
37:41We're scared.
37:43When humans are scared, they do terrible things.
37:46Are you threatening us?
37:47No, no, no, no, no, no.
37:48Definitely not.
37:49No, I'm sorry.
37:50I'm sorry.
37:50No, I'm not.
37:51Enough, Barclay.
37:52I mean it.
37:52Oh, God help me.
37:53I'll come down there.
37:53Get back to the text.
37:54The 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 long-term peace.
38:09There will be three conditions.
38:13One, that pollution of oceans and waterways ceases with immediate effect.
38:19You're expecting this addendum to paragraph one.
38:22World governments are working with industry on urgent solutions to this crisis.
38:25Our second requirement is formal designation of borders.
38:29Prepare for that too.
38:30Okay, this is good.
38:31We 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?
38:44Clarify that?
38:44Sorry, all water.
38:46The entirety of all oceans and waterways.
38:50Sorry, excuse me.
38:51We're an island nation.
38:53Are we permitted passage across the oceans?
38:55No.
38:56The human race evolved to live on land, not in the waters.
39:01Or the sky.
39:02She said sky.
39:03Do you want the skies now?
39:04You live in the ocean.
39:06The skies are not your concern.
39:08The air above the ocean is the ocean.
39:11This is our space.
39:13Are you seeking to ground all air transport?
39:16Transport over land is your concern.
39:20Transport across water will not be permitted.
39:23But that's ridiculous.
39:24Barkley, you're losing control.
39:25Trade between continents is an essential function of the modern world.
39:28Yes, our continent relies on food imports.
39:31We will take questions from the ambassador.
39:33Barkley, there's no prep for this.
39:35We don't have responses.
39:35You are amphibian.
39:37You don't own this guy.
39:38You cannot stab our people.
39:39We will take questions from the ambassador.
39:41You're holding us hostage.
39:42What about the channel tunnel?
39:43The world cannot function without cross-continental travel.
39:46How dare you?
39:47How dare you come in here and dictate the future of the human race?
39:51You are condemning developing countries to death.
39:53No!
39:53No!
39:54No!
39:54No!
39:54No!
39:55No!
40:03We will take questions from the ambassador.
40:06Only.
40:08Whoa.
40:08Voice has changed.
40:09Her intonation is male.
40:12Never mind the voice.
40:14Look at him.
40:15I'm getting spikes in testosterone, cortisol and keto-testosterone.
40:18What?
40:19So she's a man now?
40:20I...
40:20I don't know.
40:23Sorry.
40:25They're...
40:25They're sorry.
40:26They're...
40:27They're...
40:27Shut up.
40:31Sit down.
40:34Shut up.
40:45How is she doing that?
40:46Incredible.
40:47Like I said, people are scared.
40:48They fear what they don't understand.
40:53They don't mean to a thing.
40:58Well done, Bonky.
41:02We need time.
41:03These proposals aren't something we can solve in days or weeks or even months.
41:12But while we negotiate, we insist on a formal armistice to maintain peace between our species.
41:19We have given two conditions for this armistice.
41:22We have given two conditions for this armistice.
41:23There is a third.
41:25And it is simple.
41:27We 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.
41:40And we will endure no more.
41:43So our next meeting will be here.
41:47We are going to go to the ocean.
41:54We are going to see.
41:54How are they doing this?
41:57Check those coordinates.
42:00North of the equator.
42:01Just off the coast of West Africa.
42:03Is it an island?
42:04No.
42:04They want to meet on a ship.
42:06What's the third coordinate?
42:07South, west?
42:08What's M?
42:09Barclay, that's open water.
42:10Please clarify the third coordinate.
42:12Your metric unit for length and depth.
42:16You would like us to meet on the water?
42:21You talk of peace and equality.
42:25So prove your commitment and meet us in our world.
42:30Roman's Trench, one of the deepest waterways on the planet, 25,000 feet, five miles down.
42:35Man's submersibles have imploded in less than half that.
42:38Barclay, don't agree to anything.
42:40Will you meet us, Barclay?
42:42At the bottom of the ocean?
42:49Okay.
