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...
04:06Sc...
04:07Scottish.
04:08My title will not translate.
04:10But you...
04:12may call me Salt.
04:14Salt.
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...
04:33Listen. I'm just a regular guy. I work in an office. I don't know about diplomacy or politics. I don't even know a decent suit.
04:43He chose you for your humanity and compassion, not your expertise. Your leaders would replace you. But what do you want?
04:52I'm fine with whatever they decide.
04:56No. What do you really think?
04:58I think this process is about everybody, right? The whole world. It's not just prime ministers and presidents. It's real people, like me, who worry about their bills and their kids. I mean, I'm a nobody. I get it, but I think, at least time, people like me had more of a voice.
05:24We hear you, Ambassador.
05:30It is decided. Your request has been heard and denied.
05:36Barclay will be present at dawn tomorrow, or negotiations will end.
05:41Where are you taking me? Huh? What about my family? Please, I don't want to be shocked.
05:53No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
05:59Are you gonna kill me?
06:02I forgot my gun.
06:03Really?
06:04No.
06:05Look, look, look, look. I'm not a spy. Or a collaborator. And I wasn't disrespecting anyone, if that's how it sounded. Alright?
06:13My mouth, it just goes an autopilot. I mean, the same thing happened when I proposed to my ex. It took me about 20 minutes to get to the ring.
06:18Barclay, I need someone I can work with.
06:22Well, yeah. Of course you do, yeah.
06:27And I think I can work with you.
06:34Well, hang on. I mean, like five minutes ago, you were trying to get rid of me.
06:38I have to tread carefully. All unit wants is a peaceful settlement, but there are levels and levels of politics at play here. International rivalries that go way back.
06:48Truth is, I've spent my whole life fighting for this planet. Now, with your help, I get to build a better world for everyone.
06:59I don't want to let you down. I mean, I keep thinking about the time I mixed up the taxes and you ended up in...
07:03Sclott, I remember. But Homo Aqua chose you for a reason. And I'm prepared to give you a chance.
07:11Okay. Uh...
07:15So what happens now?
07:18Now...
07:20Your life changes.
07:27The passengers transport now arriving at Diplomatic Hotel. Clear the corridors.
07:33Security protocols. All delegates and Diplomatic staff will be relocated for their own safety.
07:49Alright, but for how long? What about my family? Can I call them?
07:52Buckley! Dad.
07:53Hey, hey.
07:54What the hell's going on?
07:55I know, I know, I know, I know.
07:57Buckley will be present at dawn tomorrow.
08:00Or 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.
08:09Well, they could have shared consciousness.
08:10Or some kind of mycorrhizal network.
08:12Maybe they've mastered sound in a way we don't understand. Using 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.
08:28The exact moment she inhales, they all do.
08:32Even the ones in the water.
08:35She's softening her language.
08:37She used sarcasm.
08:39Like she's learning, adapting.
08:40They 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.
08:52So we're just accepting her choice of ambassador.
08:55What if it's not up to her?
08:57Their race has survived under the sea for millennia with centuries of social, evolutionary and technological advantage.
09:03She's running this show.
09:05Whether we like it or not.
09:10Evening.
09:15Didn't think you were in tonight.
09:17I volunteered. Didn't want to miss this.
09:20Let's prep one for imaging.
09:22Careful.
09:32We'll take tissue samples.
09:35Prep some slides.
09:41You...
09:43You work in admin.
09:45You're not ambassador.
09:47You couldn't even finish your wedding speech.
09:49Only because your dad spilled wine all over it.
09:50On purpose.
09:52So you're literally the person they're talking about on TV.
09:54Like all the time.
09:55Yeah, but you can't say a word not to anyone.
09:57Who are we going to tell? We're prisoners.
09:59But dad is famous.
10:00Okay, just look at the bright side. Look at the view.
10:02It'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.
10:13Oh, I'm glad you got your priorities in order.
10:14Never mind the massive international crises.
10:17No, I'm not sure the minibar's included.
10:19Sue me.
10:20So, 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. I just have to read it out.
10:29But then, like, why are you?
10:31I don't know. She just chose me.
10:33What's she like?
10:35Well...
10:37I mean, she's kind of like us. But she's...
10:40I don't know.
10:43She's beautiful.
10:44Beautiful?
10:45Yeah.
10:46She's a fish?
10:47She's not a fish. She's not a fish and she's not a person.
10:49She's something else. Anyway, I'm not even supposed to be talking about this.
10:52Convenient.
10:53Barbara, 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.
11:07I'm making the most of this massive bath.
11:23We're putting an enormous amount of pressure on one man.
11:35I hope he's up to it.
11:37I hope he's up to it.
11:40My father taught me to rely on instinct over intel.
11:45Trust my God.
11:47He'd say,
11:48He sounds very wise, your dad.
11:56He is.
11:58You should meet him.
12:02What does your instinct say?
12:05I've seen ordinary people achieve extraordinary things.
12:09But they're usually travelling with the Doctor.
12:13And Barclay has you.
12:16By his side.
12:18The 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.
12:36Let me take your mind off it.
12:37Are those tissue samples ready?
12:51Yep.
12:52Two seconds.
13:06Two seconds.
13:07Two seconds.
13:25You're late.
13:31Your citizenship is approved.
13:33Welcome to Britain.
13:37What about my mother?
13:39Hey!
13:41What about my mother?
13:51Thanks, Maria.
13:52Hello, darling.
13:53I can't stop.
13:54The gallery opens Friday and Sue's got Covid.
13:55It's been chaos.
13:56Filming later, yeah?
13:57Yep.
13:58Oh, your guest.
13:59They're waiting in the garden now.
14:02General, sorry to keep you.
14:03Hey, take your time.
14:04Look at this spread.
14:05Homo aqua tissue samples.
14:08Know thine enemy.
14:11Oh, I haven't eaten all day.
14:13We know what they're going to ask for, right?
14:15What do we do?
14:17Don't worry.
14:18Leave the fish to us.
14:19It'll be the death of the energy industry.
14:20Of 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 recession.
14:31Public are already panicked.
14:32My mother was in the bank today and take her account.
14:36Yeah?
14:37Which one?
14:39The president's sole focus is to protect the stability of the US economy.
14:43And mine is to protect my companies.
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.
14:57And 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.
15:06Good.
15:07We'll need you outside.
15:08We'll be brief.
15:09Oh, you had me at recession.
15:28Oh, shhhhhh.
15:30How'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. The route is clear. The route is clear.
15:57Go on, Dad.
15:59Morning, Colonel. This is Bingham.
16:01Commander.
16:02What do we know about the leak?
16:04The photo was emailed to the press by an anonymous source.
16:07Except, I've cross-matched the image with CCTV from the hotel.
16:11The photographer was General Dominique de Solier, the French representative.
16:16Kelsey Pries. She's been undermining NATO since she first drew breath.
16:20And if she discredits units, she gets more influence over the H2O committee.
16:23Get the French ambassador on the phone. I'm in the mood for bollocking.
16:26The press association is still demanding access to the hall. I'm not sure we want to get them offside.
16:30Fine. Let them in. But no live TV. 50 people maximum. And anyone who steps out of line gets barred.
16:35I'm sorry, General Dussoli, your access to the hall has been revolved.
16:44Come with us, please.
16:45I'm sorry, General Dussoli.
16:46I'm sorry, General Dussoli.
16:47I'm sorry, General Dussoli.
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.
16:55No crossed arms, no raised voice, no sign of aggression or impatience.
16:59Everything you say or do or think has to come through us.
17:01What's the point of being unbastiful I'm doing is reading?
17:03There 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.
17:17Well, yeah, literally. I'm the one standing up there.
17:19You can do this.
17:20You can do this.
17:24I can't stop shaking.
17:45Tell the press no camera flashes and keep an eye on Barclay's obs.
17:48Pressure 138 over 90.
17:50Bit high.
17:51Pulse is 82 and steady.
17:52Is Downing Street on line?
17:55Prime Minister?
17:56Yes, we're here.
17:57All right.
17:58Good luck, everyone.
17:59Mrs Bingham.
18:02Open seals.
18:18Ambassador, are you okay?
18:19Ambassador?
18:20Barclay?
18:21Hmm?
18:22Yeah?
18:23Oh, sorry.
18:24Yes, yes, yes.
18:25I'm here.
18:26This way.
18:27Come on.
18:28Hello again.
18:29That's not scripted.
18:30Yes, I'm here.
18:31Yes, I'm here.
18:32Yes, I'm here.
18:33Come on.
18:34Hello again.
18:35That's not scripted.
18:36Barkley.
18:37Sorry.
18:38Ahem.
18:39I bid you welcome, Ambassador.
18:40And bring to session this diplomat.
18:41I'm here.
18:42I'm here.
18:43I'm here.
18:44I'm here.
18:45I'm here.
18:46I'm here.
18:47I'm here.
18:48I'm here.
18:49I'm here.
18:50I'm here.
18:51I'm here.
18:52I'm here.
18:53I'm here.
18:54I'm here.
18:55I'm here.
18:56Hello again.
18:57That's not scripted.
18:59Barkley.
19:00Sorry.
19:01Ahem.
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...
19:13How sorry I am about your children.
19:15Are you a parent?
19:17Yes.
19:18Yes, he's a parent.
19:19Teenage child, Kirby.
19:20Barkley, just say yes.
19:22Yes.
19:23I can't imagine what that was like for you.
19:26Your apology is appreciated.
19:29Now back to the text, please.
19:31We begin today by hearing proposals to formalize our peace treaty.
19:35But first...
19:36We request...
19:38A glass of water.
19:42Erm...
19:43Is...
19:44Well it's...
19:45Is that...
19:46Can we...?
19:47Water from the river.
19:51From the river?
19:52What?
19:53They drink river water?
19:54Barkley, read the screen.
19:55We will arrange that immediately.
19:58We...
19:59Go, go, go, go!
20:04Move!
20:05Move!
20:06Move, move, move, move!
20:07Come on!
20:08If Akka returns the agenda, we'd like to...
20:16We will wait.
20:18Okay.
20:20Oh, okay.
20:21They said okay.
20:27Keep your eyes on the water.
20:34Don't turn your back.
20:35Not for one second.
20:38The glass requires decontamination.
20:58Shall I place it in the airlock?
20:59The water is not for us.
21:02It is for you.
21:07Sorry.
21:08Sorry, I don't understand.
21:09You will drink it.
21:10Hold on, Barkley.
21:11Get me intel on that water.
21:13You will drink.
21:20Just, 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.
21:30Okay.
21:30Okay.
21:30Okay.
21:30Okay.
21:30Okay.
21:30Okay.
21:31Okay.
21:31Okay.
21:31Okay.
21:31Okay.
21:31Okay.
21:32Okay.
21:33Okay.
21:33Okay.
21:34Okay.
21:35Okay.
21:36Um, with respect, I am unable to drink this.
21:41Why?
21:41Water is contaminated.
21:44Why?
21:45She knows why.
21:46Skip to 16, paragraph 12.
21:47We'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.
21:59Barkley, stick to the script.
22:02Barkley, ambassador, refer to your screen.
22:04...
22:11yourja, anche.
22:16Why?
22:17Barkley, no.
22:21Because we were stupid.
22:23That's the truth of it.
22:25And the whole planet's going to Hell right now because we didn't understand the consequences.
22:29because 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, everyday 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,
22:45we are letting them get away with it.
22:48We're just sat at home, flicking through our phones, making tea,
22:50thinking 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,
22:57how 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.
23:15I think you are my favorite human.
23:19Just...
23:25What?
23:29You know, I was thinking about you today.
23:43When I was standing up there like a lemon, I was thinking about all those things you told me, you and your hippie mates.
23:59They're not hippies, and that's not even a word anymore.
24:02I just wish that I'd listen sooner.
24:05But I'm listening now.
24:06I promise you.
24:07Who 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?
24:15That's me.
24:16You haven't been passionate since Christmas 2010.
24:18What are you doing?
24:19I need a treat.
24:21Here.
24:22It tastes better than river water.
24:26Do you know it just hit me?
24:27Just now.
24:29This is history in the making.
24:31Right now.
24:32And I'm part of it.
24:33I'm a historical figure.
24:35It's crazy, isn't it?
24:36Okay.
24:38So what's she like then, your fishy ambassador?
24:44Are you jealous?
24:45Please.
24:46She is.
24:47You're jealous?
24:48Can we order room service now?
24:50Sure.
24:53I'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.
25:01That time frame will be a challenge.
25:03The H2O committee consulting with industry on that.
25:06Moving on.
25:07The French consulate have lost an official complaint
25:09over 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.
25:20We've got bigger problems.
25:21Meanwhile, we've been debating communication theories
25:23how the Homo aqua ambassador is able to send and receive information
25:27seemingly instantaneously.
25:29Yeah, we're looking into oceanic mycelium networks.
25:31Mycelium?
25:32That's the mushrooms.
25:33Reproductive organs of mycelium networks.
25:35Wait, I'm eating reproductive organs on my toes.
25:37Mycelium networks are the fungal threads
25:39believed to connect individual plants and trees
25:41to 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
25:49or if water itself forms some kind of network
25:52Homo aqua, amphibia, grandis,
25:54all these species could potentially be interconnected.
25:57Like a hive mind?
25:59What if the pearl is their connection point?
26:01Or filter.
26:02They're so far ahead of us it's difficult to comprehend.
26:05We're literally children playing guessing games.
26:07I know.
26:16I know.
26:17I know.
26:18What happened?
26:40Couldn't sleep.
26:48I just read your big speech again.
26:55It's more of a ramble.
27:00Made me, made me proud though.
27:05Really?
27:07But with all the attention, are you going to be safe doing this?
27:13Yeah, of course.
27:14Promise?
27:15Yes.
27:16Promise.
27:17Promise.
27:17They're moving you out of here tomorrow.
27:23Putting you in a proper safe house.
27:24Away from all this.
27:26Okay?
27:28I'd rather stay here with you.
27:31Whole world's changing, Dad.
27:34Maybe I needed to.
27:36Maybe it's for the best.
27:37Your family will be moved to a safe house this morning.
28:05We're separating civilians from diplomatic staff.
28:07Look, how's the MF all it goes?
28:08I'm sorry, you're here all day.
28:09Barkley High, Rosemary Hunt.
28:11Nice 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?
28:20How are you coping under the pressure?
28:24I'm depuis my life.
28:25Are you performing this mission?
28:38How are you doing this?
28:39How are you doing this?
28:40Even if you weren't structure with me.
28:41I got
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 further reduction with MB exponential 2065
29:07Correct 50%
29:11Yes
29:13Explain
29:16It 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
29:25Yes
29:26This is unacceptable
29:30An operation of this scale will stretch our resources to their limits
29:33We regret we cannot guarantee a significant reduction of ocean pollution in a shorter time frame
29:39So this is your final offer
29:44You'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
30:01When scores of us are dying every day
30:05Should we wait?
30:07While your engines deafen us while your trawlers ravage our home
30:14While we choke on your plastic and sewage
30:20We cannot hear or see or breathe
30:26So tell me why we should live like this for just one day longer
30:34I'm sorry, I'm so sorry
30:38I believe that you are sorry
30:42But are your leaders
30:45The world is united in its desire for meaningful change
30:50Do they wish
30:55That they could achieve this sooner?
31:00Yes, of course
31:01Do they want
31:04To accelerate this process?
31:08We are committed to undoing the damage we have inflicted on our planet
31:12How committed?
31:15It is our greatest desire
31:17Then we shall grant it
31:23Sorry, what do you mean?
31:30Your greatest desire
31:32Is happening
31:53What's happening?
32:06I don't know
32:06Do you hear that?
32:10Is it a storm?
32:13That's no storm
32:15It's plastic
32:19Mum
32:20Mum
32:21Oh my god
32:22Turn the car around
32:30Turn it around
32:31Get us out of here
32:32It's happening everywhere all at once
32:42The plastic is coming out the oceans into our cities
32:44It's not just the oceans
32:45It's coming out the Thames
32:46Out the Nile
32:47The Hudson
32:47Lock down the building
32:48Get everyone to the lower levels
32:50Keep going
32:54Keep going
32:54Barkley, we need to leave
32:57Right now
32:57Come on
32:58Now
33:02You have to stop
33:04We are cleaning up your mess
33:07Oh, wait, wait, wait
33:11You okay?
33:12Barkley, what's happening?
33:14They're cleaning up the ocean
33:16The plastic, the pollution, all of it
33:17They're giving it back
33:18But we're in the car
33:19It's chaos
33:19What?
33:20You're outside
33:20We can't get to the safe house
33:22We can't cross the river
33:22Just come to the hall
33:25Tell the driver
33:26It's Imperial House
33:27Imperial House?
33:28Can you take us to Imperial House?
33:30Oh, wait, wait
33:30I'm going to go
33:31Don't worry, okay?
33:46We're getting out
33:46Barkley, listen to me
33:52We have to run through
33:54I need to help the driver
33:55See?
33:56No, don't look at him, listen
33:56Get out and run
33:58In there and find your dad
33:59I'll be right behind you
34:00Promise me
34:01Just run
34:01I promise
34:02Go
34:03Hey
34:11Can you hear me?
34:17I'm so sorry
34:18Barkley, where are you?
34:30We're here
34:30By Kirby, they're outside
34:32Kirby!
34:43Kirby!
34:44Kirby!
34:48Go, go, go, go, go, go
35:01Reports are coming in from all over the world
35:09From dozens of major cities
35:10All across Manhattan
35:13The sky is raining plastic
35:15This is a threat
35:20This is a threat
35:20The police have issued a directive
35:22The streets are not safe
35:23Everyone should stay indoors
35:25Do not go outside
35:26What have I done?
35:30They're declaring war
35:31114 years after she began her maiden voyage the titanic has finally reached her destination
35:55just one of the impossible sites 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 damaged bill in the hundreds of billions
36:09former albium party leader felix gladstock has branded storm h2o as a call to arms
36:15every citizen of this planet is now at war it is time to unite against the common enemy
36:22homo aqua
36:24we would hear from the
36:35She's a fish.
36:38Barclay.
36:39You work in Agnes.
36:40You're not an ambassador.
36:41Everything you say you'll do has to come through.
36:46Barclay.
36:48Barclay.
36:53Ambassador.
36:55We approach this Congress in good faith that your actions have jeopardized the diplomatic process.
37:02Humanity wants a peaceful settlement, not war.
37:05This war began a long time ago, and 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, 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 the doctor.
37:29Look, I understand why you did this, really.
37:31I do, but it was a mistake.
37:33Like, people were hurt, and my family were out there, and they could have died.
37:40Now things are worse.
37:41We're scared.
37:44When humans are scared, they do terrible things.
37:46Are you threatening us?
37:47No, no, no, no, no, no, definitely 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
38:04of 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, we'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.
39:53Hello!
39:54Hello!
39:54Hello!
39:54Hello!
39:54Hello!
39:55Hello!
39:55Hello!
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, Bonké.
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.
41:20We 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.
41:41So our next meeting will be here.
41:45We will be here.
41:55At London Ocean.
41:56How are they doing this?
41:57Check those coordinates.
42:00North of the equator.
42:01Just off the coast of West Africa.
42:03Is it an island?
42:04No.
42:04They want to meet on a ship.
42:06What's the third coordinate?
42:07South?
42:08West?
42:08What's M?
42:09Barkley, 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 underwater?
42:21You talk of peace and equality.
42:25So prove your commitment.
42:28And meet us in our world.
42:30Roman's Trench.
42:31One of the deepest waterways on the planet.
42:3325,000 feet, five miles down.
42:35Man-submersibles have imploded in less than half that.
42:38Barkley, don't agree to anything.
42:40Will you meet us, Barkley?
42:42At the bottom of the ocean?
42:49Okay.
