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

27:48the h2o committee
27:49consulting with industry
27:50on that
27:51moving on
27:52the french consulate
27:53have lost an official complaint
27:55over general de solier's
27:56removal from the hall
27:57they want to reinstate it
27:59tough they've seen the evidence

28:01and she has influence
28:02i think it'd be dangerous
28:04to shut her out
28:05fine
28:05fine
28:06we've got bigger problems
28:07meanwhile
28:08we've been debating
28:09communication theories
28:10how the homo aqua ambassador
28:11is able to
28:12send and receive information
28:14seemingly instantaneously
28:15yeah we're looking into
28:16oceanic mycelium networks
28:17mycelium
28:18well that's the mushrooms
28:19mushrooms are the reproductive organs
28:20of mycelium networks
28:21wait
28:22i'm eating reproductive organs
28:23on my toes
28:24mycelium networks
28:25are the fungal threads
28:26believed to connect
28:27individual plants and trees
28:28to share and recycle
28:30vital minerals
28:30a lot of these theories
28:31are debatable
28:32yes i know
28:33but if algae and fungi
28:34interact in a similar way
28:36when in water
28:36or if water itself
28:38forms some kind of network
28:39homo aqua
28:41amphibia
28:41grandis
28:42all these species
28:43could potentially be
28:44interconnected
28:45like a hive mind
28:46what if the pearl
28:47is their connection point
28:49or filter
28:50they're so far ahead of us
28:52it's difficult to comprehend
28:53we're literally children
28:54playing guessing games

31:15what happens if you mess this up
31:20hiya
31:34text on screen please
31:41once again i bid you welcome
31:45and bring to session this diplomatic congress
31:48world leaders have consulted with climate scientists
31:51and private enterprise on the subject of ocean pollution
31:54we can guarantee a 50% reduction by 2065
32:00further reduction will then be exponential
32:022065
32:03correct
32:0650%
32:07yes
32:09explain
32:12it will take time to raise the finance
32:17and resources to tackle the problem
32:19but world governments are committed to making it a priority
32:2240 years
32:24yes
32:25this is unacceptable
32:28an operation of this scale will stretch our resources to their limits
32:32we regret we cannot guarantee a significant reduction of ocean pollution
32:36in a shorter time frame
32:38so this is your final offer
32:45you've waited millions of years beneath the ocean
32:47now we are asking for just 40 more years to reset to give you what you want
32:54you are asking for 15 000 revolutions of the sun
33:01when scores of us are dying every day
33:05should we wait
33:07while your engines deafen us
33:11while your trawlers ravage our home
33:15while we choke
33:17on your plastic
33:19and sewage
33:21we cannot hear
33:24or see
33:26or breathe
33:28so tell me
33:30why we should live
33:32like this
33:33for just one day longer
33:36I'm sorry
33:39I'm so sorry
33:40I believe that you are sorry
33:44but are your leaders
33:47the world is united in its desire for meaningful change
33:52do they wish
33:58that they could achieve this sooner
34:01yes of course
34:04do they want
34:07to accelerate this process
34:11we are committed to undoing the damage we've inflicted on our planet
34:16how committed
34:17it is our greatest desire
34:21then we shall grant it
34:27sorry what do you mean
34:34your greatest desire
34:36is happening
34:39you
34:53you
34:53you
34:56you
34:56What's happening?
35:12I don't know.
35:15Do you hear that?
35:17Is it a storm?
35:20There's no storm.
35:22It's a plastic.
35:27Mum.
35:28Mum.
35:29Oh my God.
35:37Turn the car around.
35:38Turn it around.
35:39Get us out of here.
35:49It's happening everywhere all at once.
35:50The plastic's coming out of the oceans into our city.
35:53It's not just the oceans.
35:54It's coming out the Thames, out of the Nile, the Hudson.
35:56Lock down the building.
35:57Get everyone to the lower levels.
35:59Come back.
36:01Come back, move it.
36:02Keep going.
36:05Barkley, we need to leave right now.
36:07Come on.
36:11Now, you have to stop.
36:14We are cleaning up your mess.
36:16Oh, wait, wait, wait, are you okay?
36:23Barkley, what's happening?
36:25They're cleaning up the ocean, the plastic, the pollution, all of it.
36:27They're giving it back.
36:28But we're in a car.
36:29It's chaos.
36:30What?
36:30You're outside.
36:31We can't get to the safe house.
36:32We can't cross the river.
36:34Just come to the hall.
36:36Turn the driver.
36:36It's Imperial House.
36:38Imperial House?
36:39Can you take us to Imperial House?
36:40Let's go, let it go.
36:56Don't worry, okay?
36:57We're getting out.
37:03You've got to be listening to me.
37:05We have to run through it.
37:06But I need to help the driver.
37:07See?
37:08No, don't see him.
37:08Listen.
37:08Get out and run in there and find your dad.
37:11I'll be right behind you.
37:12Promise me.
37:13Just run.
37:14I promise.
37:15Go.
37:23Hey.
37:25Can you hear me?
37:30I'm so sorry.
37:31I'm so sorry.
37:38I'm so sorry.
37:41I'm so sorry.
37:42I'm so sorry.
37:43Where are you?
37:44We're here.
37:44Find Kirby.
37:45They're outside.
37:56Kirby!
37:58Kirby!
37:58Kirby!
37:58No.
37:59No.
37:59No.
37:59No.
38:02No.
38:02No.
38:02No.
38:03No.
38:03No.
38:03No.
38:08Ah!
38:09You good?
38:09Yeah.
38:10I'm so sorry.
38:13Go.
38:14Go.
38:15Go.
38:15Go.
38:15Go.
38:16Go.
38:20Go.
38:21Come on.
38:21Come on.
38:22Reports are coming in from all over the world, from dozens of major cities.
38:27All across Manhattan, the sky is raining plastic.
38:35The police have issued a directive.
38:38The streets are not safe. Everyone should stay indoors. Do not go outside.
38:45What have I done?
38:47They're declaring war.
38:52Oh, no.
39:06One hundred and fourteen years after she began her maiden voyage, the Titanic has finally reached her destination.
39:13Just one of the impossible sites of the streets of New York today.
39:16Streets that are now unrecognizable.
39:18World leaders have called for calm as the cleanup operation begins.
39:22Major cities around the world remain paralyzed with a damaged bill in the hundreds of billions.
39:28Former Albion party leader Felix Gladstock has branded Storm H2O as a call to arms.
39:34Every citizen of this planet is now at war.
39:37It is time to unite against the common enemy.
39:41Homo Aqua.
39:48We would hear from the Air Force.
39:55She's a fish.
39:58Barclay, you work in admin. You're not an ambassador.
40:01You have only language in your home, Ambassador.
40:03Everything you say you'll do, has to come through.
40:07Barclay.
40:09Barclay.
40:09Ambassador, we approach this Congress in good faith that your actions have jeopardized the diplomatic process.
40:23Humanity wants a peaceful settlement, not war.
40:25This war began a long time ago, and it was started by you.
40:33Now, we have simply returned what is yours.
40:44Look, there's words here I'm supposed to say, but the fact is you're cleverer than we are.
40:48That's obvious.
40:49He's off script again.
40:50This is like working with a doctor.
40:51Look, I understand why you did this. Really, I do.
40:55But it was a mistake.
40:57People were hurt.
40:59And my family were out there.
41:01And they could have died.
41:03Now things are worse.
41:05We're scared.
41:07When humans are scared, they do terrible things.
41:09Are you threatening us?
41:11No, no, no, no, no, no. Definitely not.
41:13No, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. No, I'm not.
41:15Enough, Barclay. I mean it.
41:16Oh, God help me. I'll come down there.
41:17Get back to the text.
41:21The United Nations of the Earth demand an armistice agreement with immediate effect for the duration of these talks to safeguard humanity and protect a path towards a long-term peace.
41:34There will be three conditions.
41:38One, that pollution of oceans and waterways ceases with immediate effect.
41:44Are you expecting this?
41:45Addendum 2, paragraph 1.
41:47World governments are working with industry on urgent solutions to this crisis.
41:51Our second requirement is formal designation of borders.
41:55Prepare for that, too. Okay, this is good.
41:56We are happy to consider large areas of all seas that are exclusive to Homo Aqua.
42:01Areas are not acceptable to us.
42:05We require all water.
42:09What does she mean? Clarify that?
42:11Sorry, all water.
42:12The entirety of all oceans and waterways.
42:17Sorry, excuse me. We're an island nation.
42:19Are we permitted passage across the oceans?
42:21No.
42:23The human race evolved to live on land, not in the waters or the sky.
42:29She said sky.
42:30Do you want the skies now?
42:32You live in the ocean.
42:33The skies are not your concern.
42:35The air above the ocean is the ocean.
42:39This is our space.
42:41Are you seeking to ground all air transport?
42:44Transport over land is your concern.
42:48Transport across water will not be permitted.
42:51But that's ridiculous.
42:52Barclay, you're losing control.
42:53Trade between continents is an essential function of the modern world.
42:57Yes. Our continent relies on food imports.
43:00We will take questions from the ambassador.
43:02Barclay, there's no prep for this. We do have responses.
43:04You are amphibian. You don't own this guy. You cannot stab our people.
43:08We will take questions from the ambassador.
43:11You're holding us hostage.
43:12What about the channel tunnel?
43:13The world cannot function without cross-continental travel.
43:15How dare you?
43:17How dare you come in here and dictate the future of the human race?
43:21You are condemning developing countries to death.
43:23Emma!
43:23Emma!
43:24Emma!
43:24Emma!
43:33We will take questions from the ambassador only.
43:37Well, the voice has changed. Her intonation is male.
43:42Never mind the voice. Look at him.
43:46I'm getting spikes in testosterone, cortisol, and keto-testosterone.
43:49What? So she's a man now?
43:51I... I don't know.
43:53Sorry.
43:55They're... they're... they're sorry. They're... they're... shut up.
43:59Sit down. Shut up!
44:07How is she doing that?
44:19Incredible.
44:19Like I said, people are scared.
44:22They fear what they don't understand.
44:26But that means nothing.
44:31Well done, Barkley.
44:35We'll need time.
44:37These proposals aren't something we can solve in days or weeks or even months.
44:46But while we negotiate, we insist on a formal armistice
44:50to maintain peace between our species.
44:54We have given two conditions for this armistice.
44:57There is a third, and it is simple.
45:01We stand here, in your rooms of concrete and steel and dust and light,
45:11burning our eyes and our lungs.
45:13And we will endure no more.
45:16So our next meeting will be here.
45:22How are they doing this?
45:33Check those coordinates.
45:36North of the equator, just off the coast of West Africa.
45:39Is it an island?
45:40No.
45:40They want to meet on a ship.
45:42What's the third coordinate?
45:44South, west?
45:45What's M?
45:46Barkley, that's open.
45:47Water, please clarify the third coordinate.
45:49Your metric unit for length and depth.
45:51You would like us to meet on the water.
45:59You talk of peace and equality.
46:03So prove your commitment.
46:05And meet us in our world.
46:07We're a man's trench.
46:09One of the deepest waterways on the planet.
46:1125,000 feet, five miles down.
46:13Mansomersibles have imploded in less than half that.
46:16Barkley don't agree to anything.
46:17Will you meet us, Barkley?
46:20At the bottom of the ocean?
46:27Okay.
