00:01All over the world, humanity reacts to the simple fact
00:05the species that came before us has woken up.
00:08The Unified Intelligence Task Force was created to deal with alien life forms.
00:13I haven't got clearance. I'm grade 10.
00:15I work in transport. I'm a clerk.
00:17Almost!
00:19The first official meeting with Homo Aqua will begin here.
00:22My name is Kate Lethbridge-Stewart,
00:24Commander-in-Chief of the Unified Intelligence Task Force.
00:27And I hope this will be the start of a great endeavor to find peace.
00:32We have a gift for you, my children.
00:35But they choked on your oil and poison and excrement.
00:40I must state that we recognize the problems.
00:42You are not known to us. We would speak with him.
00:57To be continued...
01:05Taken at the surtout
01:13To be continued...
01:43With me, please, sir.
01:44I suggest that this meeting is adjourned.
01:49While we...
01:50Follow me.
01:51While we regroup.
01:55His name's Barclay Pierre Dupont.
01:57He's a grade 10, works in logistics.
01:59Family.
02:00Ex-wife and teenage child.
02:01Bring them in, put them in an interview room.
02:03I want his file on my screen by the time I get downstairs.
02:08Kate Lethbridge-Stewart.
02:10Yeah, and now I book your taxes.
02:12Sit down.
02:15We weren't expecting this.
02:18Obviously.
02:19Me either.
02:20So help me understand.
02:21Out of nearly 8 billion humans on this planet,
02:24why do Homo Aqua want you as ambassador?
02:27I don't know.
02:28What communications have you had with Homo Aqua prior to today?
02:31None.
02:32Never.
02:34I mean, I had a goldfish once.
02:36Is that relevant?
02:37This isn't a joke, Mr. Dupont.
02:38I'm not joking.
02:40He was called Simon.
02:42Right now, a team of experts are trawling through every detail of your private life.
02:47Every text message, every email, every photo, everyone you've ever met.
02:52Barclay Pierre Dupont, born 15-11-82.
02:54Get me his immediate family.
02:55Yes, ma'am.
02:58Parents deceased.
02:59Married Barbara Newmai, June 2003.
03:02Divorced November 2022.
03:03Split was amicable.
03:05Whatever he's done, we're not part of it.
03:07We're not even together.
03:08Shut up!
03:12Tina's child, Kirby, 16, lives with the mother studying A-levels.
03:16Seize all devices and bring them in professionally, right now.
03:19My family have got nothing to do with this.
03:22They don't even know I'm here.
03:23I never asked for this to happen.
03:25Okay?
03:26But I do want to help.
03:29And the thing is...
03:32You need me.
03:34I'm all right.
03:36Well, I'm all right.
03:41The first day of H2O diplomacy has concluded with an abrupt change of ambassador.
03:47Sir Jonathan Hines has made no comment over his dismissal.
03:50And the identity of the new ambassador has been suppressed.
03:54This man is the most important person on the planet.
03:57Don't we have a right to know who he is?
03:59We cannot allow a foreign species to dictate our diplomacy process.
04:04This is taken to us.
04:11Prime Minister.
04:12The H2O committee will not allow a random civilian to represent them.
04:15Okay, you ought to go back in Mount Romantella.
04:17We choose our ambassador and the committee's decision is final.
04:21I did it myself, but it doesn't look good, does it?
04:24If I'm the one in there when war breaks out.
04:26Not when you can blame the unit.
04:27Sorry.
04:28That's not what I meant.
04:32But maybe it's better woman to woman.
04:34If that's what she is.
04:35Is that what she is?
04:36No.
04:37Please, Kate.
04:40We're relying on you.
04:42Thank you for this unscheduled consultation.
04:50I am Kate Lethbridge-Stewart,
04:52Commander-in-Chief of the Unified Intelligence Task Force
04:55and representative of the H2O committee.
04:58The committee has requested urgent action regarding the role of human ambassador.
05:04Rather than appoint this civilian, they request that you trust in our original candidate.
05:10You talk of trust while meeting in secret in the dark.
05:18We would hear from the ambassador.
05:21Mr. DuPont is unprepared.
05:24We would hear from the ambassador.
05:28Come closer.
05:54Hello.
05:55Do you have a name?
06:00Is that a thing?
06:01Because I'm Barclay.
06:03It's Scottish.
06:05Well, my grammar is Scottish.
06:09My title will not translate.
06:11But you may call me Salt.
06:16Salt?
06:18I...
06:24Listen.
06:25I'm just a regular guy.
06:27I work in an office.
06:28I don't know about the diplomacy of politics.
06:30I don't even know the decent suit.
06:32We chose you for your humanity and compassion.
06:35Not your expertise.
06:37Your leaders would replace you.
06:40But what do you want?
06:42I'm...
06:43I'm fine with whatever they decide.
06:45No.
06:46What do you really think?
06:52I think...
06:56This process is about everybody, right?
06:58The whole world.
07:00It's not just prime ministers and presidents.
07:02It's real people like me.
07:04They worry about their bills.
07:06And their kids.
07:07I mean, I'm a nobody.
07:08I get it, but I think...
07:12Maybe it's time people like me had more of a voice.
07:16We hear you.
07:19Ambassador.
07:22It is decided.
07:24Your request has been heard and denied.
07:29Barclay will be present at dawn tomorrow.
07:32Or negotiations will end.
07:34Where are you taking me?
07:39Huh?
07:40What about my family?
07:42I don't want to be shot.
07:44No, no, no, no, no, no.
07:51Are you gonna kill me?
07:52I forgot my gun.
07:55Really?
07:56No.
07:57No.
07:58No, no, no, no, no.
08:02I'm not a spy.
08:03Or a collaborator.
08:04And I wasn't disrespecting anyone if that's how it sounded.
08:06Alright?
08:07My mouth, it just goes on autopilot.
08:09I mean, the same thing happened when I proposed to my ex.
08:11It took me about 20 minutes to get to the ring.
08:13Barclay.
08:14I need someone I can work with.
08:16Well, yeah.
08:18Of course you do, yeah.
08:21And I think I can work with you.
08:23What?
08:27Well, Alan, I mean, like five minutes ago, you're trying to get rid of me.
08:33I have to tread carefully.
08:35What all unit wants is a peaceful settlement.
08:37But there are levels and levels of politics at play here.
08:41International rivalries that go way back.
08:43Truth is, I've spent my whole life fighting for this planet.
08:47Now, with your help, I get to build a better world for everyone.
08:54I don't want to let you down.
08:56I mean, I keep thinking about the time I mixed up the taxis and you ended up in...
09:00Sklaut, I remember.
09:01But Homo Aqua chose you for a reason.
09:05And I'm prepared to give you a chance.
09:08Okay.
09:09Uh...
09:12So what happens now?
09:15Now?
09:16Your life changes.
09:22The passengers transport are now arriving at Diplomatic Hotel.
09:27Clear the corridors.
09:29Security protocols.
09:44All delegates and Diplomatic staff are being relocated for their own safety.
09:47All right, but for how long?
09:48What about my family?
09:49Can I call them?
09:50Barkley!
09:51Dad.
09:52Hey, hey.
09:53What the hell's going on?
09:54I know, I know, I know, I know.
09:55Barkley will be present at dawn tomorrow.
09:58All negotiations will end.
10:02We hear you.
10:03That's what she said to him.
10:04We.
10:05And if that's true, how is she communicating with her people?
10:07Maybe she's wearing an implant.
10:08Well, they could have shared consciousness.
10:09Or some kind of mycorrhizal network.
10:10Maybe they've mastered sound in a way we don't understand using frequencies we can't
10:14even hear.
10:15Like Mariah Carey.
10:17I noticed something earlier when Sir Jonathan presented the flower.
10:22Everyone focused on her, but look.
10:28The exact moment she inhales, they all do.
10:33Even the ones in the water.
10:36She's softening her language.
10:38She used sarcasm.
10:40Like she's learning, adapting.
10:42They want an everyman as ambassador.
10:44But is that what she is?
10:45Because she's extraordinary.
10:47Those remains are en route to the lab.
10:49And the H2O committee are kicking off.
10:51They want to see you.
10:53So we're just accepting her choice of ambassador?
10:56Warby's not up to it.
10:57Well, their race has survived under the sea for millennia with centuries of social,
11:02evolutionary and technological advantage.
11:04She's running this show.
11:06Whether we like it or not.
11:08Evening.
11:09Didn't think you were in tonight.
11:11I volunteered.
11:12Didn't want to miss this.
11:13Let's prep one for imaging.
11:14Careful.
11:15We'll take tissue samples.
11:19Prep some slides.
11:51It's your wedding speech.
11:52Only because your dad spilled wine all over it.
11:55On purpose.
11:56So you're literally the person they're talking about on TV.
11:58Like all the time.
12:00Yeah, but you can't say a word.
12:01Not to anyone.
12:02Who are we going to tell?
12:03We're prisoners.
12:04But dad is famous.
12:05Okay, just look at the bright side.
12:06Look at the view.
12:07It's nice.
12:08And this room is amazing, isn't it?
12:09It's huge.
12:10There's a person living in the real world right now.
12:12What about work?
12:13And school?
12:14Kirby's got that coach trip on Thursday.
12:16A coach trip?
12:18Oh, I'm glad you've got your priorities in order.
12:20Never mind the massive international crisis.
12:22No, I'm not sure the minibar's included.
12:24Sue me.
12:25So, if you're an ambassador,
12:27does that mean you get to make, like, actual decisions?
12:30No, God, no.
12:31They've got, like, this whole committee.
12:33You're right, so everything does a policy.
12:34I just have to rig it out.
12:35But then, like, why are you?
12:37I don't know.
12:38She just chose me.
12:40What's she like?
12:42Well, I mean, she's kind of like us,
12:45but she's...
12:47I don't know.
12:50She's beautiful.
12:51Beautiful?
12:52Yeah.
12:52She's a fish.
12:53She's not a fish.
12:54She's not a fish, and she's not a person.
12:56She's something else.
12:58Anyway, I'm not even supposed to be talking about this.
13:00Convenient.
13:00Barbara, do you really think I asked for this?
13:03I have no idea.
13:05Because it turns out my ex-husband,
13:07who can't even assemble flat-pack furniture,
13:08is a secret agent who lied about his job,
13:10and is now saving the world.
13:12So, excuse me if I have questions.
13:14I'm making the most of this massive bath.
13:16We're putting an enormous amount of pressure on one man.
13:22I hope he's up to it.
13:25My father taught me to rely on instinct over intel.
13:31To trust my gut.
13:32He too.
13:33Ibn Ibn Ibn Khayyid,
13:34did you?
13:35I don't know.
13:36I don't know.
13:37I don't know.
13:38I don't know.
13:39I don't know.
13:40I don't know.
13:41I don't know.
13:43I don't know.
13:44I don't know.
13:45It sounds very wise, your dad.
13:47my father taught me to rely on instinct over intel trust my god he'd say
13:58he sounds very wise your dad he is you should meet him
14:09what does your instinct say i've seen ordinary people achieve extraordinary things but they're
14:22usually traveling with the doctor and barclay has you by his side
14:29the oceans cover 71 percent of this planet's surface the human race is quite literally

23:12Not for one second!
23:22The glass requires decontamination. Shall I place it in the airlock?
23:36The water is not for us.
23:38It is for you.
23:44Sorry. Sorry, I don't understand.
23:46You will drink it!
23:48Hold on, Barclay. Get me intel on that water.
23:50You will drink.
23:52Uh...
23:58Just, like...
24:00Actually, drink it.
24:02E. coli is guaranteed.
24:04Dysentery, meningitis, and Legionnaires disease.
24:06Barclay, do not drink the water.
24:08What do I say? Stand by.
24:16Um, with respect,
24:18I am unable to drink this.
24:20Why?
24:23The water is contaminated.
24:24Why?
24:25She knows why. Skip to 16, paragraph 12.
24:29We're aware of the current pollution crisis, and...
24:31These are the words of a politician.
24:33Vetted and craven and hollow.
24:38You... would answer.
24:39Barclay, stick to the script.
24:41Barclay.
24:42Ambassador, refer to your screen.
24:43Barclay.
24:44Ambassador, refer to your screen.
24:57Why?
24:58Barclay, no!
24:59Barclay, no!
25:02Because we were stupid.
25:05That's the truth of it.
25:10And the whole planet's going to hell right now,
25:12because we didn't understand the consequences.
25:14But now you do.
25:16Yeah.
25:17Yeah, now we do.
25:19This is too risky.
25:20No, Wade.
25:21Still, everyday water companies are pumping poison and sewage into our rivers and oceans,
25:25all the while dishing out bonuses to their bosses,
25:27and the thing is,
25:28we are letting them get away with it.
25:30We just sat at home,
25:31flicking through our phones,
25:32making tea, thinking it's someone else's problem.
25:34But it's not.
25:35This is my fault.
25:36We all played our part.
25:38Now we have to help fix it.
25:39And the thing is,
25:40our kids know this.
25:42Our kids.
25:44They're way ahead of us.
25:46Why aren't we listening?
25:52Today's the day we stop.
26:00I think you are my favorite human.
26:16I feel amazing.
26:29I'm sorry, but I do.
26:31It's like I want to run.
26:33I just want to run for miles.
26:34I've got so much energy right there.
26:36What?
26:37You're ridiculous.
26:38You know, I was thinking about you today.
26:40When I was standing up there like a lemon,
26:43I was thinking about all those things you told me,
26:45you and your hippie mates.
26:46They're not hippies,
26:47and that's not even a word anymore.
26:48Well, I just wish that I'd listen sooner.
26:51But I'm listening now.
26:53I promise you.
26:54Who even are you?
26:55I don't know, but I like it.
26:57You're on telly again?
26:58You're always on telly, aren't you?
27:00Nicole, are you passionate?
27:01Passionate?
27:02What's me?
27:03You haven't been passionate since Christmas 2010.
27:06Oh!
27:07Oi, oi!
27:08I need a treat.
27:10Here.
27:11It tastes better than river water.
27:13Oh.
27:14Do you know it just hit me?
27:16Just now.
27:17This is history in the making.
27:19Right now.
27:20And I'm part of it.
27:22I'm a historical figure.
27:24It's crazy, isn't it?
27:25Okay.
27:26So what's she like then?
27:28Your fishy ambassador?
27:33Are you jealous?
27:34Please.
27:35She is.
27:36You're jealous?
27:37Can we order room service now?
27:39Sure.
27:40I'll have the fish.
27:43The H2O committee have bred new models for environmental regulation.
27:48The Greens have been trying to achieve these targets for decades.
27:51That timeframe will be a challenge.
27:52The H2O committee consulting with industry on that.
27:55Moving on.
27:56The French consulate have lost an official complaint over General de Solier's removal from the hall.
28:02They want to reinstate it.
28:03Tough.
28:04They've seen the evidence.
28:05She's denying it.
28:06And she has influence.
28:07I think it would be dangerous to shut her out.
28:09Fine.
28:10Fine.
28:11We've got bigger problems.
28:12Meanwhile, we've been debating communication theories.
28:14How the Homo aqua ambassador is able to send and receive information seemingly instantaneously.
28:20Yeah, we're looking into oceanic mycelium networks.
28:22Mycelium?
28:23That's the mushrooms.
28:24Mushrooms are the reproductive organs of mycelium networks.
28:26Wait.
28:27I'm eating reproductive organs on my toes.
28:29Mycelium networks are the fungal threads,
28:31believed to connect individual plants and trees to share and recycle vital minerals.
28:35A lot of these theories are debatable.
28:37Yes, I know.
28:38But if algae and fungi interact in a similar way when in water, or if water itself forms
28:43some kind of network.
28:44Homo aqua, amphibia, grandis, all these species could potentially be interconnected.
28:49Like a hive mind?
28:51But what if the pearl is their connection point?
28:54Or a filter?
28:55God, they're so far ahead of us it's difficult to comprehend.
28:58We're literally children playing guessing games.
29:08I'm actually...
29:09Yeah.
29:10I'm actually...
29:11I'm absolutely young.
29:12I'm a little bit ahead of you.
29:13But...
29:14I'm just going to help you.
29:15I'm just like the devil.
29:16I'll do it.
29:17How does it happen?
29:19Okay, wait.
29:20Maybe I'm just going to help you.
29:21I'm just going to help you.
29:22You're the first and I'll do it.
29:23But I'm going to help you.
29:24What's going to help you out?
29:25How do you get that?
29:26You're so nice.
29:27I'm going to help you.
29:28I'm going to help you.
29:29I'm a little bit too soon.
29:30I've got it as much help you out of the night.
29:31I can't help you.
29:32I'm going to help you with me.
29:33You're so quick to learn as well.
29:34I couldn't sleep.
29:48I just read your big speech again.
29:51Mm-hmm.
29:53It's more of a ramble.
29:57Made me... made me proud, though.
30:01Really?
30:03But with all the attention, are you gonna be safe doing this?
30:09Yeah, of course.
30:10Do you promise?
30:11Yes.
30:13Promise.
30:17They're moving you out of here tomorrow.
30:19Putting you in a proper safe house.
30:21Away from all this.
30:23Okay?
30:26I'd rather stay here with you.
30:28The whole world's changing, Dad.
30:32Maybe it needed to.
30:34Maybe it's for the best.
31:02Your family will be moved to a safe house this morning.
31:04We're separating civilians from diplomatic staff.
31:06Look, I'll see them before they go.
31:07No, I'm sorry.
31:08You're here all day.
31:09Buckley High, Rosemary Hunt.
31:10Nice suit.
31:11But what can you tell us about Homo Aquis demands?
31:13How confident are you that we can achieve what they want?
31:16How are you coping under the pressure?
31:18What happens if you mess this up?
31:20What happens if you mess this up?
31:22I'm not going to get on.
31:23What happens if you mess this up?
31:24How could you make an death?
31:25How could you mess this up?
31:26And what happens if you mess this up?
31:27No, not your feet.
31:28Hiya.
31:43Text on screen, please.
31:48Once again, I bid you welcome and bring to session this diplomatic congress.
31:54World leaders have consulted with climate scientists and private enterprise on the subject of ocean pollution.
32:01We can guarantee a 50% reduction by 2065.
32:06Further reduction will then be exponential.
32:082065.
32:09Correct.
32:1050%.
32:11Yes.
32:12Explain.
32:16It will take time to raise the finance and resources to tackle the problem.
32:24But world governments are committed to making it a priority.
32:2840 years?
32:30Yes, sir.
32:33This is unacceptable.
32:34An operation of this scale will stretch our resources to their limits.
32:38We regret we cannot guarantee a significant reduction of ocean pollution in a shorter time frame.
32:45So this is your final offer.
32:49You've waited millions of years beneath the ocean.
32:54Now we are asking for just 40 more years to reset to give you what you want.
32:59You are asking for 15,000 revolutions of the sun when scores of us are dying every day.
33:10Should we wait while your engines deafen us?
33:16While your trawlers ravage our home?
33:21While we choke on your plastic and sewage?
33:26We cannot hear, or see, or breathe.
33:33So tell me why we should live like this for just one day longer.
33:41I'm sorry.
33:42I'm sorry.
33:43I'm sorry.
33:44I believe that you are sorry.
33:49But are your leaders?
33:55The world is united in its desire for meaningful change.
34:02Do they wish that they could achieve this sooner?
34:09Yes, of course.
34:11Do they want to accelerate this process?
34:18We are committed to undoing the damage we've inflicted on our planet.
34:22How committed?
34:25It is our greatest desire.
34:31Then we shall grant it.
34:39Sorry, what do you mean?
34:40Your greatest desire is happening.
34:44I believe that you won't do it.
35:05what's happening i don't know

38:19Go!
38:20Go!
38:21Go!
38:26Go!
38:27Reports are coming in from all over the world, from dozens of major cities.
38:33All across Manhattan, the sky is raining plastic.
38:36The police have issued a directive. The streets are not safe. Everyone should stay indoors. Do not go outside.
38:50What have I done?
38:51No.
38:52They're declaring war.
38:53No.
38:54No.
38:55No.
38:56No.
38:57No!
38:58No.
38:59No!
39:00No!
39:01No!
39:02No!
39:03No!
39:04No!
39:05No!
39:06No!
39:07No!
39:08No!
39:09No!
39:10No!
39:11114 years after she began her maiden voyage, the Titanic has finally reached her destination,
39:18just one of the impossible sites of the streets of New York today.
39:21Streets that are now unrecognizable.
39:24World leaders have called for calm as the cleanup operation begins.
39:27Major cities around the world remain paralyzed with a damaged bill in the hundreds of billions.
39:33Former Albion party leader Felix Gladstock has branded Storm H2O as a call to arms.
39:39Every citizen of this planet is now at war.
39:42It is time to unite against the common empathy.
39:46Homo Aquae.
39:48I don't know the aim of being your humans on this planet.
39:53Why do Homo Aquae?
39:54We would hear from the ambassador.
39:56We would hear from the ambassador.
40:01She's a fish.
40:03Buckley, you work in Agni.
40:05You're not an ambassador.
40:06You're only language in your form.
40:07Ambassador, what is your response?
40:09Everything you say or do has to come through.
40:11We are, we are, we are, we are, we are, we are, we are.
40:14Buckley!
40:14Buckley!
40:19Ambassador.
40:21We approach this congress in good faith that your actions have jeopardized the diplomatic process.
40:28Humanity wants a peaceful settlement, not war.
40:30This war began a long time ago, and it was started by you.
40:38Now, we have simply returned what is yours.
40:42Look, there's words here I'm supposed to say, but the fact is you're cleverer than we are.
40:53That's obvious.
40:54He's off script again.
40:55This is like working with the doctor.
40:56Look, I understand why you did this.
40:58Really, I do.
41:00But it was a mistake.
41:02People were hurt.
41:04And my family were out there.
41:06And they could have died.
41:07Now things are worse.
41:10We're scared.
41:12When humans are scared, they do terrible things.
41:14Are you threatening us?
41:16No, no, no, no, no, no, definitely not.
41:18No, I'm sorry.
41:18I'm sorry.
41:19No, I'm not.
41:20Enough, Buckley.
41:20I mean it.
41:21Oh, God help me.
41:21I'll come down there.
41:22Get back to the text.
41:28The United Nations of the Earth demand an armistice agreement with immediate effect for the duration
41:33of these talks to safeguard humanity and protect a path towards a long-term peace.
41:40There will be three conditions.
41:43One, that pollution of oceans and waterways ceases with immediate effect.
41:49We are expecting this.
41:50Addendum 2, paragraph 1.
41:52World governments are working with industry on urgent solutions to this crisis.
41:55Our second requirement is formal designation of borders.
42:00Prepare for that, too.
42:01Okay, this is good.
42:01We are happy to consider large areas of all seas that are exclusive to Homo Aqua.
42:06Areas are not acceptable to us.
42:10We require all water.
42:14What does she mean?
42:15Clarify that?
42:16Sorry, all water.
42:17The entirety of all oceans and waterways.
42:22Sorry, excuse me.
42:23We're an island nation.
42:24Are we permitted passage across the oceans?
42:27No.
42:28The human race evolved to live on land.
42:31Not in the waters or the sky.
42:34She said sky.
42:35Do you want the skies now?
42:36You live in the ocean.
42:38The skies are not your concern.
42:40The air above the ocean is the ocean.
42:44This is our space.
42:46Are you seeking to ground all air transport?
42:49Transport over land is your concern.
42:53Transport across water will not be permitted.
42:56But that's ridiculous.
42:57Barclay, you're losing control.
42:58Trade between continents is an essential function of the modern world.
43:02Yes.
43:03Our continent relies on food imports.
43:05We will take questions from the ambassador.
43:07Barclay, there's no prep for this.
43:08We don't have responses.
43:09You are amphibian.
43:11You don't own this guy.
43:12You cannot stab our people.
43:13We will take questions from the ambassador.
43:16You're holding us hostage.
43:17What about the channel tunnel?
43:18The world cannot function without cross-continental travel.
43:20How dare you?
43:22How dare you come in here and dictate the future of the human race?
43:26You are condemning developing countries today.
43:28HEMO!
43:29HEMO!
43:29HEMO!
43:38We will take questions from the ambassador.
43:42Only.
43:43Well, voice has changed.
43:45Our intonation is male.
43:47Never mind the voice.
43:49Look at him.
43:51I'm getting spikes in testosterone, cortisol and keto-testosterone.
43:54What?
43:55So she's a man now?
43:56I...
43:57I don't know.
43:59Sorry.
44:01They're...
44:02They're sorry.
44:03They're...
44:03They're shut up.
44:08Sit down.
44:11Shut up.
44:19How is she doing that?
44:23Incredible.
44:24Like I said, people are scared.
44:27They fear what they don't understand.
44:31They don't mean to a thing.
44:36Well done, Barclay.
44:40We'll need time.
44:41These proposals aren't something we can solve in days or weeks, or even months.
44:51But while we negotiate, we insist on a formal armistice to maintain peace between our species.
44:58We have given two conditions for this armistice.
45:03There is a third.
45:05And it is simple.
45:07We stand here in your rooms of concrete and steel and dust and light burning our eyes and our lungs.
45:19And we will endure no more.
45:21So our next meeting will be here.
45:36Atlantic Ocean.
45:37How are they doing this?
45:38Check those coordinates.
45:41North of the equator, just off the coast of West Africa.
45:44Is it an island?
45:45No.
45:45They want to meet on a ship?
45:47What's the third coordinate?
45:49South?
45:49West?
45:50What's M?
45:51Barclay, that's open.
45:52Water, please clarify the third coordinate.
45:54Your metric unit for length and depth.
45:58You would like us to meet underwater?
46:04You talk of peace and equality.
46:07So prove your commitment.
46:10And meet us in our world.
46:12We're a man's trench.
46:14One of the deepest waterways on the planet.
46:1625,000 feet, five miles down.
46:18Man submersibles have imploded in less than half that.
46:21Barclay, you don't agree to anything.
46:23Will you meet us, Barclay?
46:25At the bottom of the ocean?
46:33Okay.
46:33Like, I'm here for you.
46:35With love, Chuck, you better Cystic, you better try.
46:39I'll see you next time.
46:40Bye.
46:46Bye.
46:48Let's get started.
46:49And we'll see you next time.
46:51Bye.
46:52Bye.
46:55Bye.
46:55Bye.
46:55Bye.
46:56Bye.
46:57Bye.
46:57Bye.
46:58Bye.
46:59Bye.
46:59Bye.
47:00Bye.
47:00Bye.
47:00Bye.
