00:01All over the world, humanity reacts to the simple fact
00:05the species that came before us was woken up.
00:08The Unified Intelligence Task Force was created to deal with alien life forms.
00:13I haven't got clearance. I'm brave, Tim.
00:15I work in transport under Clark.
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.
00:57We learned things personally.
00:59The Wrap of the Unified Jungle
02:03I want his file on my screen by the time I get downstairs.
02:08Kate Lethbridge-Stewart.
02:10Yeah, and now I'll book your taxes.
02:12Sit down.
02:15We weren't expecting this, obviously.
02:19Me either.
02:20So help me understand.
02:21Out of nearly eight billion humans on this planet, why 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.
02:33I 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.
02:48Every email.
02:49Every photo.
02:50Everyone you've ever met.
02:51Barkley-Pierre DuPont, born 15-11-82.
02:54Get me his immediate family.
02:58Parents deceased.
02:59Married Barbara Numai, 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.
03:08Tina'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, okay?
03:26But I do want to help.
03:28And the thing is,
03:30you need me.
03:33I'm all right.
03:36Well, I'm all right.
03:38The first day of H2O diplomacy
03:43has 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.
03:55This man is the most important person on the planet.
03:58Don't we have a right to know who he is?
04:00We cannot allow a foreign species
04:01to dictate our diplomacy process.
04:04This is dangerous.
04:08Prime Minister.
04:12The H2O committee will not allow a random civilian to represent them.
04:15Kate, you're to go back and not room and tell her.
04:18We choose our ambassador and the committee's decision is final.
04:22I 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 play a unit.
04:27I'm sorry.
04:28I'm sorry.
04:28That's not what I meant.
04:31But maybe it's better woman to woman.
04:34If that's what she is.
04:35Is that what she is?
04:36No problem.
04:39Please, Kate.
04:40We're relying on you.
04:42Thank you for this unscheduled consultation.
04:48I am Kate Lethbridge-Stewart,
04:52Commander-in-Chief of the Unified Intelligence Task Force
04:54and representative of the H2O committee.
04:58The committee has requested urgent action
05:01regarding the role of human ambassador.
05:03Rather than appoint this civilian,
05:07they request that you trust in our original candidate.
05:11You talk of trust
05:13while meeting in secret
05:15in the dark.
05:19We would hear from the ambassador.
05:22Mr. DuPont is unprepared.
05:24We would hear
05:25from the ambassador.
05:33Come closer.
05:53Hello.
05:58Do you have a name?
06:00Is that a thing?
06:01Because I'm Barclay.
06:03It's Scottish.
06:05Well, my grammar's...
06:07Grams...
06:08Scottish.
06:09My title will not translate.
06:12But you...
06:14may call me Salt.
06:17Salt?
06:20I...
06:21Listen.
06:25I'm just a regular guy.
06:27I work in an office.
06:28I don't know about diplomacy or politics.
06:30I don't even know about decent suit.
06:32I chose you for your humanity
06:33and compassion.
06:35Not your expertise.
06:37Your leaders would replace you.
06:40But what do you want?
06:42I'm...
06:42I'm...
06:43I'm fine with whatever they decide.
06:45No.
06:46What do you really think?
06:48I think...
06:48This process is about everybody, right?
06:59The whole world.
07:01It'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.
07:09I get it.
07:09But I think...
07:11I've used time people, like me, admirable voice.
07:16We hear you.
07:18Ambassador.
07:21It is decided.
07:24Your request has been heard
07:25and denied.
07:28Barclay will be present at dawn tomorrow.
07:31Or negotiations will end.
07:33Where are you taking me?
07:40Huh?
07:41What about my family?
07:43Please?
07:43I don't want to be shocked.
07:46No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
07:51Are you going to kill me?
07:55I forgot my gun.
07:56Really?
07:57No.
07:59Ah!
08:01Look, look, look, look.
08:02I'm not a spy.
08:03Or a collaborator.
08:04And I wasn't disrespecting anyone,
08:05if that's how it sounded.
08:06All right?
08:06My mouth, it just goes an autopilot.
08:09I mean, the same thing happened
08:10when I proposed to my ex.
08:11It took me about 20 minutes
08:12to get to the ring.
08:12Barclay.
08:14I need someone I can work with.
08:17Well, yeah.
08:19Of course you do.
08:20Yeah.
08:21And I think I can work with you.
08:27Well...
08:27Well, I haven't...
08:30I mean...
08:31Like, five minutes ago,
08:32you're trying to get rid of me.
08:33I have to tread carefully.
08:35But all unit wants
08:36is a peaceful settlement.
08:37But there are levels
08:38and levels of politics at play here.
08:41International rivalries
08:42that go way back.
08:44Truth is,
08:45I've spent my whole life
08:46fighting for this planet.
08:49Now, with your help,
08:50I get to build a better world
08:53for everyone.
08:55I don't want to let you down.
08:56I mean,
08:56I keep thinking about the time
08:57I mixed up the taxis
08:58and you ended up in...
08:59Sklaut, I remember.
09:01But Homo Aqua chose you
09:02for a reason.
09:04And I'm prepared
09:05to give you a chance.
09:08Okay.
09:08Let's see what happens now.
09:15Now,
09:16your life changes.
09:24Ambassador Transport
09:26now arriving at Diplomatic Hotel.
09:28Clear the corridors.
09:28Security protocols.
09:44All delegates and Diplomatic staff
09:46are being relocated
09:46for 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.
09:55Barkley will be present
09:56at dawn tomorrow.
09:58Our negotiations will end.
10:02We hear you.
10:03That's what she said to him.
10:03We.
10:04And if that's true,
10:05how is she communicating
10:06with her people?
10:06Maybe she's wearing an implant.
10:08Well, they could have
10:08shared consciousness.
10:09Or some kind of
10:10mycorrhizal network.
10:11Maybe they've mastered sound
10:12in a way we don't understand.
10:13Using frequencies
10:14we can't even hear.
10:16Like Mariah Carey.
10:17I noticed something earlier
10:19when Sir Jonathan
10:20presented the flower.
10:22Everyone focused on her.
10:23But look.
10:24The exact moment
10:29she inhales,
10:31they all do.
10:33Even the ones
10:33in the water.
10:36She's softening
10:36her language.
10:38She used sarcasm.
10:39Like she's learning,
10:41adapting.
10:42They want an everyman
10:43as ambassador.
10:44But is that what she is?
10:45Because she's extraordinary.
10:47Those remains
10:47are en route to the lab.
10:49And the H2O committee
10:51are kicking off.
10:52They want to see you.
10:54So we're just accepting
10:55her choice of ambassador?
10:56Wog is not up to it.
10:58Well, their race
10:59has survived
10:59under the sea for millennia
11:01with centuries
11:01of social evolutionary
11:02and technological advantage.
11:04She's running this show.
11:06Whether we like it or not.
11:16Evening.
11:18Didn't think you were
11:18in tonight.
11:19I volunteered.
11:21Didn't want to miss this.
11:22Let's prep one
11:23for imaging.
11:24Careful.
11:36We'll take tissue samples.
11:38Prep some slides.
11:39You...
11:46You work in admin.
11:49You're not ambassador.
11:50You couldn't even finish
11:51your wedding speech.
11:52Only because your dad
11:53spilled wine all over it.
11:54On purpose.
11:55So you're literally
11:56the person they're
11:57talking about on TV.
11:58Like all the time.
11:59Yeah, but you can't
12:00say a word not to anyone.
12:01Who are we going to tell?
12:02We're prisoners.
12:03But dad is famous.
12:04Okay, just look at
12:05the bright side.
12:06Look at the view.
12:06It's nice in this room.
12:08It's amazing, isn't it?
12:08It's huge.
12:09I'm not the only person
12:10living in the real world
12:11right now.
12:12What about work
12:13and school?
12:14Kirby's got that
12:15coach trip on Thursday.
12:17A coach trip?
12:18Yeah.
12:18Oh, I'm glad you've
12:19got your priorities in order.
12:20Never mind the massive
12:20international crisis.
12:22No, I'm not sure
12:23the minibar's included.
12:24Sue me.
12:25So, if you're an ambassador,
12:27does that mean you get
12:28to make, like,
12:29actual decisions?
12:30No, God.
12:31No, they've got, like,
12:32this whole committee
12:33who writes everything
12:33that's a policy.
12:34I just have to read it out.
12:35But then, like,
12:36why are you?
12:37I don't know.
12:38She just chose me.
12:40What's she like?
12:42Well, I mean,
12:44she's kind of like us,
12:45but she's, like,
12:47I don't know.
12:50She's beautiful.
12:51Beautiful?
12:51Yeah.
12:52She's a fish.
12:53She's not a fish.
12:54She's not a fish,
12:55and she's not a person.
12:56She's something else.
12:58Anyway, I'm not even
12:58supposed to be talking
12:59about this.
13:00Convenient.
13:00Barbara,
13:01do you really think
13:02I asked for this?
13:03I have no idea.
13:05Because it turns out
13:05my ex-husband,
13:06who can't even assemble
13:07flat-pack furniture,
13:09is a secret agent
13:10who lied about his job
13:11and is now saving the world.
13:12So, excuse me
13:13if I have questions.
13:15I'm making the most
13:16of this massive bath.
13:17We're putting an enormous amount
13:41of pressure on one man.
13:44I hope he's up to it.
13:47My father taught me
13:51to rely on instinct
13:52over intel.
13:55Trust my gut.
13:57He'd say,
13:59He sounds very wise,
14:05your dad.
14:07He is.
14:08You should meet him.
14:13What does your instinct say?
14:15I've seen ordinary people
14:19achieve extraordinary things,
14:21but they're usually
14:22traveling with the doctor.
14:25And Barclay has you
14:27by his side.
14:29The ocean's covered 71%
14:37of this planet's surface.
14:41The human race is quite
14:42literally surrounded.
14:44And if it comes to war,
14:46I wonder if we even
14:49stand a chance.
14:52Let me take your mind off it.
14:53Are those tissue samples ready?
15:05Yep.
15:05Two seconds.
15:06Two seconds.
15:06Two seconds.
15:07This time,
15:08I think it's going to be
15:08something you should have
15:09and I mean,
15:09let me take your mind off.
15:09Yeah.
15:10..
15:11This time,
15:12you Simon took off.
15:13So long enough to take your mind off.
15:18Here you go.
15:22You're late.
15:46Your citizenship is approved.
15:48Welcome to Britain.
15:52What about my mother?
15:55Hey!
15:56What about my mother?
16:07Thanks, Maria.
16:08Hello, darling.
16:09Can't stop.
16:10Gallery opens Friday and Sue's got COVID.
16:12It's been chaos.
16:13Fill me in later, yeah?
16:14Yeah.
16:14Oh, your guests.
16:15They're waiting in the dark room.
16:18General, sorry to keep you.
16:20Hey, take your time.
16:22Look at this spread.
16:23Homo aqua tissue samples.
16:26Know thine enemy.
16:28Oh, I haven't eaten all day.
16:31We know what they're going to ask for, right?
16:33What do we do?
16:34Don't worry.
16:35Leave the fish to us.
16:37It'll be the death of the energy industry, of your livelihood.
16:39We've run simulations.
16:42Look at the impact of wars and the pandemic on Western economies and multiply that by a hundred.
16:47We'll be sliding into recession.
16:49Public are already panicked.
16:51My mother was in the bank today emptying her account.
16:53Yeah.
16:55Which one?
16:57The president's sole focus is to protect the stability of the U.S. economy.
17:02And mine is to protect my companies.
17:05That's what we hoped he'd say.
17:07But with the unit running the diplomacy, there's constant opposition.
17:11Kate, Lethbridge Stewart has influence.
17:14With the H2O committee.
17:15And with your prime minister.
17:19Not to worry.
17:20Harry's attentions are divided at the moment.
17:22And he always listens to his biggest donor.
17:26Good.
17:27We'll need you outside when we breathe.
17:30Oh, you had me at recession.
17:31Oh, shh.
17:59Oh, shh.
18:01He's supposed to be on the news.
18:02He's supposed to be a secret.
18:04The H2O diplomacy committee are denying all interview requests.
18:08The only thing we do know about Barclay Pierre Dupont, our new ambassador, is that the world is watching.
18:14Copy that. The post is clear. The post is clear.
18:19Go on, Dad.
18:22Morning, Colonel.
18:23Mrs. Bingham.
18:24Commander.
18:25What do we know about the leak?
18:27The photo was emailed to the press by an anonymous source.
18:29Except, I've cross-matched the image with CCTV from the hotel.
18:34The photographer was General Dominique de Solier, the French representative.
18:39Kelsey Preeze.
18:40She's been undermining NATO since she first drew breath.
18:43And if she discredits units, she gets more influence over the H2O committee.
18:47Get the French ambassador on the phone.
18:49I'm in the mood for a bollocking.
18:50Press Association is still demanding access to the hall.
18:53I'm not sure we want to get them offside.
18:54Fine, let them in.
18:55But no live TV.
18:57Fifty people maximum.
18:58And anyone who steps out of line gets barred.
19:06I'm sorry, General de Solier.
19:07Your access to the hall has been revoked.
19:09Come with us, please.
19:12It's inadmissible.
19:13You can't refuse to enter.
19:14Just stick to the text on your screen and you'll be fine.
19:17Keep your body language and your vocal tone neutral at all times.
19:20No crossed arms, no raised voice.
19:22No sign of aggression or impatience.
19:25Everything you say or do or think has to come through us.
19:27What's the point of being ambassador if all I'm doing is reading?
19:30There is a team of 43 people working around the clock on this document.
19:34UN diplomats and wartime negotiators vetting every last syllable.
19:37Prime Ministers, Presidents, Royalty.
19:39Frankly, it's a miracle we got past the contents page.
19:41You cannot go rogue.
19:42Are we ready?
19:43We're all behind you.
19:45Well, yeah, literally.
19:45I'm the one standing up there.
19:47You can do this.
19:51I can't stop shaking.
19:52Tell the press no camera flashes and keep an eye on Barclay's obs.
20:16Load pressure 138 over 90.
20:18A bit high.
20:19Pulse is 82 and steady.
20:21Is Downing Street online?
20:23Prime Minister...
20:24Yes, we're here.
20:25All right.
20:26Good luck, everyone.
20:28Mrs Bingham.
20:30All concealed.
20:31Ambassador, are you okay?
20:55Ambassador?
20:57Barclay?
20:57Hmm?
20:57Yes?
20:58Oh, sorry.
20:58Yes, yes, yes.
20:59I'm here.
21:00This way.
21:00Hello again.
21:28That's not scripted.
21:30Barclay.
21:32Sorry.
21:36I bid you welcome, Ambassador,
21:38and bring to session this diplomatic congress.
21:41On behalf of all nations, I would like to say
21:44how sorry I am about your children.
21:47Are you a parent?
21:49Yes. Yes, he's a parent. Teenage child, Kirby.
21:53Barclay, just say yes.
21:54Yes.
21:56I can't imagine what that was like for you.
21:59Your apology is appreciated.
22:02Now back to the text, please.
22:04We begin today by hearing proposals
22:06to formalize our peace treaty.
22:08But first, we request...
22:12a glass of water.
22:14Um, is...
22:17Well, it's...
22:18Is...
22:19Is that...
22:20Coming?
22:21Water from the river.
22:24From the river?
22:26What?
22:27They drink river water?
22:28Barclay, read the screen.
22:30Uh, we...
22:32We will arrange that immediately.
22:38Go, go, go!
22:41Move!
22:42Move!
22:43Move!
22:44Move!
22:45Move!

22:53We will wait.
22:54OK.
22:56Oh, OK.
22:57The...
22:58They said okay.
23:04Come to formation!
23:05Isn't it enough, keep as you can!
23:06Move!
23:08Give your eyes on the water!
23:10Don't turn your back!
23:11Don't turn your back!
23:12Not for one second!
23:33Uh, glass requires decontamination.
23:35Shall I place it in the airlock?
23:36The water is not for us.
23:38It is for you.
23:45Sorry, sorry, I don't understand.
23:47You will drink it.
23:48Hold on, Barclay, get me intel on that water.
23:51You will drink.
23:58Just, like, actually drink it.
24:01E. coli is guaranteed.
24:03Dysentery, meningitis and Legionnaires disease.
24:06Barclay, do not drink the water.
24:08What do I, what do I say?
24:09Standby.
24:17Um, with respect, I am unable to drink this.
24:20Why?
24:23Water is contaminated.
24:24Why?
24:25She knows why.
24:26Skip to 16, paragraph 12.
24:29We're aware of the current pollution crisis, Anne.
24:31These are the words of a politician.
24:34Vetted and craven and hollow.
24:38You would answer.
24:40Barclay, stick to the script.
24:42Barclay, ambassador, refer to your screen.
24:56Why?
24:59Barclay, no!
25:02Because we were stupid.
25:05That's the truth of it.
25:07And the whole planet's going to hell right now because 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, wait.
25:21Still, every day, water companies are pumping poison and sewage into our rivers and oceans,
25:24all the while dishing out bonuses to their bosses, and the thing is, we are letting them get away with it.
25:30We just sat at home, flicking through our phones, making tea, thinking it's someone else's problem.
25:34But it's not.
25:35This is my fault.
25:37We all played our part.
25:38Now we have to help fix it.
25:39And the thing is, our kids know this.
25:43Our kids.
25:45They're way ahead of us.
25:48Why aren't we listening?
25:52Today's the day we stop.
25:54The day we stop.
25:56The day we stop.
25:58I think you are my favorite human.
26:02Just, we are.
26:04We are.
26:07What?
26:10What?
26:12Oh, I feel amazing. I'm sorry, but I do. It's like I want to run. I just want to run for
26:34my... I've got so much energy right there. What? You're ridiculous. You know I was thinking
26:39about you today. When I was standing up there like a lemon, I was thinking about all those
26:44things you told me, you and your hippie mates. They're not hippies and that's not even a word
26:48anymore. Well, I just wish that I'd listen sooner. I'm listening now, I promise you.
26:54Who even are you? I don't know, but I like it. You're on telly again? You're always on telly,
27:00aren't you? They're calling you passionate. Passionate? That's me. You haven't been passionate
27:04since Christmas 2010. That is a treat. Here, tastes better than river water. Do you know,
27:15it just hit me, just now. This is history in the making, right now, and I'm part of it.
27:22I'm a historical figure. It's crazy, isn't it? Okay. So what's she like then, your fishy ambassador?
27:30Are you jealous? Please. Cheers. You're jealous? Can we order room service now? Sure.
27:42I'll have the fish. The H2O Committee have prepped new models for environmental regulation.
27:49The Greens have been trying to achieve these targets for decades. That time for you will
27:53be a challenge. The H2O Committee consulting with industry on that. Moving on, the French Consulate
27:58have lost an official complaint over General de Solier's removal from the hall. They want to
28:03reinstate it. Tough, they've seen the evidence. She's denying it, and she has influence. I think
28:08it'd be dangerous to shut her out. Fine. Fine. We've got bigger problems. Meanwhile, we've been
28:13debating communication theories, how the Homo Aqua ambassador is able to send and receive information
28:19seemingly instantaneously. Yeah, we're looking into oceanic mycelium networks. Mycelium? Well,
28:23that's the mushrooms, right? Mushrooms are the reproductive organs of mycelium networks. Wait,
28:27I'm eating reproductive organs on my toes. Mycelium networks are the fungal threads,
28:31believed to connect individual plants and trees to share and recycle vital minerals. A lot of these
28:36theories are debatable. Yes, I know. But if algae and fungi interact in a similar way when in water,
28:42or if water itself forms some kind of network, Homo Aqua, Amphibia, Grandis,
28:47all these species could potentially be interconnected. Like a hive mind? What if the pearl is their
28:53connection point? Or filter? God, they're so far ahead of us it's difficult to comprehend. We're
28:58literally children playing guessing games.
29:28children playing games. What happened to me? Couldn't sleep. Thank you.
29:49I just read your big speech again. It's more of a ramble.
29:54It made me, or made me proud though. Really? But with all the attention, are you gonna be safe doing this?
30:10Yeah, of course. Do you promise? Yes. Promise.
30:18They're moving you out of here tomorrow. Putting you in a proper safe house, away from all this.
30:22Okay? I'd rather stay here with you. The whole world's changing, Dad.
30:32Well, maybe it needed to. Maybe it's for the best.
30:52Your family will be moved to a state house this morning. We're separating civilians from diplomatic staff.
31:06Look, I'll see them before they go. No, I'm sorry. You'll hear all day.
31:09Barkley High, Rosemary Hunt, nice suit. But what can you tell us about Homo Aqua's demands?
31:13How confident are you that we can achieve what they want? How are you coping under the pressure?
31:17What happens if you mess this up?
31:30Hiya.
31:30Text on screen, please.
31:45Once again, I bid you welcome and bring to session this diplomatic congress.
31:52Yes. World leaders have consulted with climate scientists and private enterprise on the subject of ocean pollution.
32:01We can guarantee a 50% reduction by 2065. Further reduction will then be exponential.
32:072065.
32:10Correct.
32:1150%.
32:1250%?
32:14Yes, sir.
32:16Explain.
32:20It will take time to raise the finance and resources to tackle the problem.
32:24But world governments are committed to making it a priority.
32:2740 years?
32:29Yes, sir.
32:32This is unacceptable.
32:33An 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.
32:53Now 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.
33:07When scores of us are dying every day.
33:11Should we wait?
33:14While your engines deafen us?
33:17While your trawlers ravage our home?
33:20While we choke on your plastic and sewage.
33:27We cannot hear, or see, or breathe.
33:34So tell me why we should live like this for just one day longer.
33:43I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
33:45I believe that you are sorry.
33:51But are your leaders?
33:54The world is united in its desire for meaningful change.
34:02Do they wish that they could achieve this sooner?
34:06Yes, of course.
34:11Do they want to accelerate this process?
34:17We are committed to undoing the damage we've inflicted on our planet.
34:21How committed?
34:25It is our greatest desire.
34:26Then we shall grant it.
34:39Sorry, what do you mean?
34:39Your greatest desire is happening.
34:52I don't know.
35:15What's happening?
35:17I don't know.
35:18I don't know.
35:20Do you hear that?
35:22Is it a storm?
35:25That's no storm.
35:31It's plastic.
35:31Mum. Mum.
35:33Oh my god.
35:42Turn the car around.
35:43Turn it around.
35:44Get us out of here.
35:48It's happening everywhere all at once.
35:55The plastic is coming out the oceans into our cities.
35:58It's not just the oceans.
35:59It's coming out the Thames, out the Nile, the Hudson.
36:01Lock down the building.
36:02Get everyone to the lower levels.
36:04If you can, come on.
36:05Come on, move it.
36:06Stop looking.
36:07Keep going.
36:08Keep going.
36:10Barkley, we need to leave right now.
36:11Come on.
36:12Now, you have to stop.
36:18We are cleaning up your mess.
36:25Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait.
36:27You okay?
36:27Barkley, what's happening?
36:30They're cleaning up the ocean.
36:31The plastic, the pollution, all of it.
36:32They're giving it back.
36:33But we're in a car.
36:34It's chaos.
36:35What?
36:35You're outside.
36:36We can't get to the safe house.
36:37We come across the river.
36:38Oh, I'm sick.
36:38Just come to the hall.
36:41Turn the driver.
36:41It's Imperial House.
36:43Imperial House?
36:44Can you take us to Imperial House?
37:01Nobody go.
37:01Don't worry, okay?
37:02We'll get you out.
37:06Run!
37:08Can't be listened to me.
37:10We have to run through.
37:11But I need to help the driver.
37:12Is he?
37:12No, don't see him.
37:13Listen.
37:14Get out and run in there and find your dad.
37:16I'll be right behind you.
37:17Promise me.
37:18Just run.
37:18I promise.
37:20Go.
37:29Hey.
37:30Can you hear me?
37:31I'm so sorry.
37:35I'm so sorry.
37:47Boggy!
37:48Where are you?
37:49We're here.
37:49Find Kirby.
37:50They're outside.
37:54What the hell?
37:54What the hell?
37:55Oh, God.
37:55Oh, God.
37:56Oh, God.
37:57Oh, God.
37:58Oh, God.
37:59Oh, God.
38:00Oh, God.
38:01Oh, God.
38:01Kirby!
38:02Kirby!
38:02Kirby!
38:03Kirby!
38:13You okay?
38:14Yeah.
38:14Let's go.
38:15I'll follow me!
38:17Go!
38:17Go!
38:18Go!
38:18Go!
38:19Go!
38:19Go!
38:19Go!
38:20Go!
38:20Go!
38:21Go!
38:21Go!
38:22Go!
38:22Go!
38:23Go!
38:23Go!
38:24Go!
38:24Go!
38:25Go!
38:26Go!
38:26Go!
38:27Go!
38:28Go!
38:28Go!
38:29Go!
38:30Go!
38:30Go!
38:31Go!
38:31Go!
38:32All across Manhattan, the sky is raining plastic.
38:36Please, all citizens, go to the security area.
38:40This is an attack.
38:42The police have issued a directive.
38:44The streets are not safe. Everyone should stay indoors.
38:46Do not go outside.
38:50What have they done?
38:52They're declaring war.
39:02114 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.
39:22Streets that are now unrecognizable.
39:24World leaders have called for calm as the cleanup operation begins.
39:28Major 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 enemy.
39:46Homo Aqua.
39:49Incidentially moved up here at the openئ Charter.
40:11It is time to cancel.
40:13Milwaukee.
40:15Ambassador, we approach this Congress in good faith, that your actions have jeopardized
40:26the diplomatic process.
40:28Humanity wants a peaceful settlement, not war.
40:32This war began a long time ago, and it was started by you.
40:38Now, we have simply returned what is yours.
40:45Look, 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 a 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.
41:08Now things are worse.
41:10We're scared.
41:12When humans are scared, they do terrible things.
41:14Are you threatening us?
41:15No, no, no, no, no, definitely not.
41:18No, I'm sorry.
41:18I'm sorry.
41:19No, I'm not.
41:19Enough, Barkley.
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.
41:39There will be three conditions.
41:43One, that pollution of oceans and waterways ceases with immediate effect.
41:49Are you expecting this?
41:50Addendum 2, paragraph 1.
41:52World governments are working with industry on urgent solutions to this crisis.
41:56Our second requirement is formal designation of borders.
42:00Prepare for that too.
42:00Okay, 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?
42:26No.
42:28The human race evolved to live on land, not in the waters or the sky.
42:34She said sky.
42:35Do you want the skies now?
42:37You 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.
42:57Barkley, you're losing control.
42:58Trade between continents is an essential function of the modern world.
43:02Yes.
43:02Our continent relies on food imports.
43:05We will take questions from the ambassador.
43:07Barkley, 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 to death.
43:28HEMO!
43:28HEMO!
43:29HEMO!
43:38We will take questions from the ambassador.
43:42Only.
43:43Whoa.
43:44Voice has changed.
43:45Her 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...
44:03Shut up.
44:08Sit down.
44:11And shut up.
44:12How is she doing that?
44:23Incredible.
44:24Like I said, people are scared.
44:26They fear what they don't understand.
44:31They don't mean to offend.
44:32Well done, Barkley.
44:40We'll need time.
44:42These proposals aren't something we can solve in days or weeks or even months.
44:47But while we negotiate, we insist on a formal armistice to maintain peace between our species.
44:59We have given two conditions for this armistice.
45:03There is a third.
45:05And it is simple.
45:06We 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.
45:23So our next meeting will be here.
45:36Atlantic Ocean.
45:37How are they doing this?
45:38Check those coordinates.
45:41North of the equator.
45:43Just 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?
45:51Barkley, that's open.
45:52Water.
45:52Please clarify the third coordinate.
45:54Your metric unit for length and depth.
45:58You would like us to meet underwater?
46:03You talk of peace and equality.
46:07So prove your commitment.
46:10And meet us in our world.
46:12Roman's Trench.
46:14One of the deepest waterways on the planet.
46:1625,000 feet, five miles down.
46:18Man's submersibles have imploded in less than half that.
46:21Barkley, don't agree to anything.
46:23Will you meet us, Barkley?
46:25At the bottom of the ocean?
46:32Okay.
