00:00Let's go, people! Welcome to Blackboard.
00:21We don't have much time, but we've appointed the best naval training personnel to prep us for the descent.
00:26They'll be doing everything they can to prime us both physically and mentally.
00:33Monitor our stamina, heart rate, and blood pressure. And help get us used to the water.
00:43We'll be descending to the rendezvous point in this submersible, to a depth of 8,000 meters, five miles down.
00:50Our journey will take two hours and 17 minutes. This submersible is currently on a launch vessel with warship escorts bound for the descent point.
00:59On the dive will be the ambassador, myself, Captain Mackey for communications, myself for science and technology, and our two diplomatic representatives, Mr. Singh.
01:14Ravi.
01:15And Mr. Campbell.
01:16Kate, it's a pleasure.
01:18Have we ever been this date before?
01:21Smaller missions of one or two people. Nothing of the scale.
01:24And I bet they were trained specialists with years of experience. We have days to prepare for this.
01:29Yeah, of course there's a risk. What we're doing today is unprecedented, but this is the toughest submersible on the planet.
01:36This is Kate Lethbridge-Stewart, a launch vessel. Captain Gates, how are we doing?
01:43Just finishing final checks.
01:45Pre-launch checks complete. Submersible ready for the prime.
01:58Things go wrong all the time. What if this brings a leak? That kind of pressure will be crushed to death, pulverized in an instant.
02:05Just forget your voice down.
02:08If you do this, you might never come back.
02:11Deep-sea pressure compresses air-filled spaces in the body, leading to lung compression and potential...
02:16Now, once we arrive at the descent point, Homo Aqua will transfer us to their environment.
02:21Well, what about the descent? Are they helping us with that?
02:24For the descent, we're on our own.
02:27We're not alone. We're never alone.
02:30Sorry?
02:31We're a team.
02:36Okay.
02:37Yeah.
02:57Transferred by helicopters at 0600. Indemnity forms need signing and legal have noted you haven't replied to their emails.
03:07You do need to make sure your will is up to date.
03:10You do need to make sure your will is up to date.
03:14The only thing might have been wrong and requested.
03:15This is it then.
03:16Do I get a hug before I go?
03:19So this is it then?
03:33Do I get a hug before I go?
03:36It might take weeks to clean the roads.
03:39The city's been shut down, you can't go anywhere.
03:42Yeah, well it's lucky you're back here then, isn't it?
03:44We're at war.
03:45I know, but I'm going to sort it.
03:47How?
03:49How are you going to sort anything?
03:52Do you know what they're calling you on TikTok?
03:54Oh, I don't really care.
03:55They're saying you're a useless, traitor, bootlicker, bleeding heart puppet, too thick to negotiate.
04:00That's not fair.
04:01It doesn't matter, because either way we're screwed.
04:03Either they kill us, or we kill ourselves.
04:07I hate the lot of you.
04:16They're worried sick about you.
04:17Yeah, I know.
04:19I'm sorry, but I promise you I'm going to be fine.
04:21No, no, no, no, no, no.
04:22Please, please, please don't.
04:27Got this?
04:28Okay?
04:29I can do this.
04:32I mean, for God's sake, I nursed mum through cancer, didn't I?
04:37Didn't I?
04:39Bloody hell, if I can get through that.
04:41Oh, I can get through anything, can't I?
04:42I've got to be strong for everyone else, right?
04:48Because everyone's counting on me.
04:51Okay?
04:52So, because it's the whole world.
05:00You don't have to be strong for me.
05:02Oh, my God, I'm so scared.
05:15I'm so scared.
05:17All right, that's it.
05:27Okay, now.
05:31What?
05:32Yeah?
05:33Yeah, sorry.
05:33Ravi?
05:46Hmm?
05:47You okay?
05:49I've been a diplomat for three months.
05:51Three months, I've...
05:52I've not gone down for this.
05:54Of course you are.
05:55You're going to come back a hero.
05:57You know that, right?
05:58This will set us up for life.
06:00Speaking tours, book deals, the works.
06:04You think I'll get a girlfriend out of it?
06:05They're going to be queuing up me.
06:08All you've got to do is hang in there.
06:11You know, sometimes I can hear my life coach.
06:14Hold the line, Ted.
06:16That's what he'd say in moments like these.
06:17Moments of fear, of self-doubt.
06:21Believe in yourself, trust in fate, and hold the line.
06:26I get struck by a lightning.
06:27Dead at 50.
06:29Seriously?
06:30What's in the box?
06:37Diplomatic gift.
06:40From all nations.
06:45And what are Homo aqua supposed to do with the globe?
06:48They see the word from underneath, right?
06:50From the depths.
06:51Never like this.
06:52Where are they going to put it, Ted?
06:54Who knows?
06:55Maybe they've got, like, coral mantelpieces.
06:57Aren't you phased by any of this?
07:00We're gonna be fine.
07:02Boot floods.
07:27In the words of a great man, we can be heroes.
07:54Let's save the world.
07:57Seal the hatch.
08:12Control to all units.
08:14We are clear.
08:15We are clear.
08:30Confirm lock.
08:32Captain Gates handing control over to you.
08:37Okay, let's pick it up.
08:47Let's move it out.
08:49Taking you off the ship now.
08:51Good luck everybody.
08:52Good luck to you all.
08:54Good luck to you, Captain.
08:56Good luck to you.
08:57Good luck to you.
08:58Let's look at you.
08:59Good luck.
09:00Good luck.
09:01Good luck.
09:02Good luck to you.
09:04Good luck to you.
09:05That's all looking stable, sir.
09:06Over.
09:07That's all looking stable, sir. Over.
09:21Deployment is go.
09:23Control deck. All reading the stable.
09:25We are good to go. Over.
09:30You okay, Ted?
09:32You did terrific.
09:33Yep.
09:37Chen Li.
09:49Prepare for release.
09:52This is it.
09:55On my mark.
09:58In three, two, one.
10:03Mark.
10:07And we're off.
10:16And we're off.
10:16We're off.
10:28Oh, how long has it been?
10:51Seven minutes.
10:53Gone dark already.
10:55No sunlight.
10:58Oh, imagine living like this all the time.
11:01Anyway, we're fine, aren't we?
11:04Can I get a yes, Ted?
11:08Yes, Ted.
11:12I've got some team bonding work games, if anyone's interested.
11:16No, thank you.
11:25Where'd you end up here anyway?
11:27Oh, there was a diplomatic lottery for the last two seats, and India won, or lost, depending
11:36on how you see it.
11:41There was rumors flying around, that the draw was rigged, that most people had their names
11:48removed, because they didn't want to go hunt.
11:53I mean, one way to look at it, is we're pioneers.
11:57Like those early astronauts.
11:59You know, where would we be if they hadn't taken that one giant link?
12:01Oh, the hell is that?
12:05He's adjusting to the pressure.
12:07Are you sure?
12:08It's okay, Ted.
12:09Just breathe.
12:10No, I'm breathing, I'm fine.
12:21What do you think we'll get for dinner?
12:23When we're back on the ship tonight, hmm?
12:25Think they'll spoil us?
12:26They bloody should.
12:27No.
12:28It'll just be canteen sandwiches again.
12:30It's tough being a hero.
12:31Is this water?
12:44This is water.
12:46There is water in your head.
12:47Right the other ship.
12:48Ted, calm down.
12:49It's condensation.
12:50How the hell do you know?
12:51Because I read page six of the safety briefing.
13:01Yeah, sorry.
13:07I guess if there was a breach, this thing would implode before we knew about it.
13:13Can everyone just shut up now, please?
13:16The economy's already tanking.
13:32If we start closing shipping lanes, the effect could be catastrophic.
13:35No.
13:36Sorry, sir.
13:37Kate Lethbridge-Stewart.
13:39Okay.
13:39It is a directive of the United Nations that you may have a voice in any emergency discussions.
13:44Sorry, we started a little early.
13:46A lot of people couldn't make it.
13:48Some of the Covenant are joining remotely.
13:49With respect, it's a phone call.
13:54I'll catch up.
13:55Please, carry on.
13:57The United States relies on maritime trade, and we will defend ourselves vigorously against
14:03any disruption to our networks.
14:06The U.S. military is arming itself with sonic weaponry.
14:10Sound cannons are used for crowd control.
14:12But we've adapted the technology for underwater use.
14:15We've identified key shipping lanes we need to protect.
14:19The English Channel, the Panama Canal, the Suez.
14:22Ultra-high-frequency blasts could disable or confuse Homo Aqua, paving the way for traditional
14:27weapons, if required.
14:29Sorry, why are we discussing weapons?
14:31Our focus is on diplomacy.
14:32And there is an armistice agreement in place now to stop further violence.
14:37Someone's got to be the first to break it.
14:39Sir, our focus should be on diplomacy.
14:41That's why six of our diplomats are risking their lives today.
14:43They're buying time.
14:44That's all they're doing.
14:45It's song and dance, smoke and mirrors.
14:47The General's right.
14:48We make decisions here, in this room.
14:52Western Front, the Falklands, Iraq.
14:55Wars are fought and won at this table.
14:58They think they own the water.
15:00But while they were splish-splashing around 300 million years ago, we crawled out of the
15:04water.
15:05Then we conquered it.
15:06We built a civilization that depends on our oceans to power our homes, feed our crops
15:12and keep us alive.
15:14Keep you in business.
15:15Sorry, but I agree with Kate.
15:17Their civilization is so ancient and so powerful.
15:19Aren't they a gift?
15:21Couldn't they help solve not just the climate crisis, but so much more?
15:25If we had them on side.
15:27We're never going to get them on side.
15:29They want us gone.
15:31If they wanted us gone, I think that would have already happened.
15:33If they were gone, we could have access to their technology.
15:36Think of it.
15:37Treasure from the ocean floor.
15:38This is a diplomatic crisis, not a pirate raid.
15:41It's what the West does best.
15:43Colonize and plunder.
15:44I'm sorry, but I'm 60% water.
15:47We all are.
15:49Don't tell me we don't own the water.
15:52If Homo Aqua want a war between the land and the sea, we'll take the sea.
15:56So this kind of rhetoric is irresponsible.
15:58If you're trying to keep the peace, you've already failed.
16:00If you're not on side, we might have to reconsider our options.
16:09Diplomatic responsibility can easily be transferred.
16:11What to you?
16:12A global emergency committee could guide Homo Aqua through a peace process that puts mankind first, not you.
16:18What is Sir Keith doing in an emergency meeting?
16:21It is not cabinet or agency, and his companies at this very moment are still pumping millions of litres of sewage into our waterways.
16:29These processes take time.
16:30And don't get me started on General Gisollier, who leaked confidential information to the press.
16:34I think you need to calm down, love.
16:35This is a national security matter.
16:37The fact is, we need industry and our allies on side.
16:45We can't do this alone.
17:07What's going to happen down there?
17:15Ravi, come on.
17:16We've already said, we don't know.
17:18So what if this is a trick, and they want hostages?
17:20We didn't take any hostages.
17:22Why should they?
17:23Because that's what happens in war.
17:24I promise you, we're going to sort this.
17:26Okay, I don't know how we will, but we will.
17:28Because my kid is not living through a war.
17:30I never had kids.
17:32If I get out of here, I'm going to call my brother.
17:34We haven't spoken for 20 years.
17:42Go for you.
17:45First thing I'm doing is taking my family out for the meal.
17:48All 19 of us.
17:4919 of us?
17:50Yeah.
17:52Yeah, and I'm paying.
17:57It's so hot.
17:59That's it.
18:02How deep are we?
18:03All right, Ted.
18:03Come on, come on, Ted.
18:04Don't think about it.
18:05I watched this show where they made a human out of pig pots, bones, and meat, and they
18:10put it in a diving suit, and they tested it for deep sea pressure.
18:15And it just turned to soup in a split second.
18:18Okay, Ted, Ted, no one wants to hear this.
18:20I don't want to be soup.
18:25All right, okay, it's okay.
18:26You're okay.
18:27Ted, come on, come on.
18:28Look at me.
18:29Just breathe, just breathe now.
18:30Breathe now, please, with me.
18:31Okay, slow and steady, with me.
18:34Because we're a team, aren't we?
18:35Yeah?
18:36Okay.
18:51Well, all six delegates should now be descending to the ocean floor.
19:18Meanwhile, emergency crews continue to clear arterial roads through major...
19:22Can you turn that off, please?
19:26A few days ago, the situation was dire.
19:29We were staring down the barrel of unprecedented financial and energy crises.
19:32Now it's catastrophic.
19:33We cannot surrender control of this planet.
19:36Look what they did to us in 15 minutes.
19:38If they wanted to, they could wipe us out.
19:40Unit are looking after their own interests.
19:43It is our moral duty to stop Aquakine however we can.
19:48Harry.
19:48I know you have a lot on your plate right now.
19:51Alison has tests today.
19:54She'll be with her.
19:56I already know you value my opinion.
19:59And maybe my money.
20:00The generals have decades of military strategy under their belts.
20:04Let us guide you.
20:05Take the pressure off.
20:06When I became Prime Minister, I made a promise to my grandchildren to leave this country better than I found it.
20:18Sir, if we don't win this war, and war is what it is, there will be no grandchildren.
20:26But we believe there is a way through this.
20:30A new stratagem, just between us.
20:34We're calling it Severance.
20:45I found some instant coffee.
20:48And biscuits.
20:52I won't ask you what you had to do for this.
20:55Yeah, let's not.
21:02They'll be okay.
21:05But you look exhausted.
21:07I've had six hours sleep in three days.
21:10This morning I showered in a sink.
21:12Sent good people five miles under the ocean and sat through a Coburn meeting with a room full of warmongers.
21:18You need a break.
21:21They want to shut Unit out.
21:22And if we lose control, who steps in?
21:26Who decides the future of the human race?
21:28Sorry, Submercibles entering the deepest part of the trench.
21:33Yes.
21:35Get me Captain Gates.
21:37I want a situation report ASAP.
21:38This is uncharted territory.
21:42They're off the maps now.
21:44This will be the longest night of our lives.
21:46What's that?
22:11What's happened?
22:12What's happened?
22:12What's happened?
22:12I think we stopped.
22:19Are we on a seatbelt?
22:22Negative.
22:25This is SU-1 to service.
22:30Service, this is SU-1.
22:35Hello.
22:36Is anyone there?
22:45Oh my god.
22:48We're not even again.
22:52But, Captain, what's happening?
22:54We're moving at 12 knots.
22:5618 knots.
22:58These readings don't make sense.
23:01That's not possible.
23:0113 knots.
23:03Something's taking control.
23:07How are they moving so fast?
23:10Captain.
23:11What?
23:11Are they being dragged?
23:13I think so.
23:14They're descending twice as fast.
23:15Steve, how's the pressure?
23:17Pressure is holding.
23:18We've lost cons.
23:20Ping the transponder.
23:20No response.
23:22Okay, do you feel that?
23:23Do you feel like we're descending?
23:24Why is there no radio content?
23:25Oxygen's normal.
23:26The cables are functioning.
23:27We're just...
23:28Cut off.
23:31On our own.
24:01We've stopped.
24:11And the pressure on the hull is 1200 HPA.
24:14Wait, is that good or bad?
24:15Well, that's like sea level.
24:17That's the pressure on land, except we're five miles down.
24:21Five miles.
24:25What?
24:26Are we inside something?
24:27The whole system's gone down.
24:32Oh, my God.
24:33Helmetown, everyone.
24:34Back, I should kick in any second.
24:35Bitch, it's a trap.
24:36They're going to kill us.
24:37For Christ's sake, Tex, shut up.
24:40Well, that's it.
24:41That's backup.
24:45There's something at the hatch.
24:47It's them.
24:47They're breaking in.
24:58Raise positions.
24:59Please.
25:22Who's going first?
25:29Is there a cave?
25:34I don't know.
25:35Wait there.
25:46Bloody hell.
25:54It's alive.
25:55The temperature is 21 degrees Celsius, which is impossible.
26:03The atmosphere is breathable, not just breathable, it's perfect.
26:08This place is incredible.
26:12You can come out now, be careful.
26:14There's a drop.
26:16It's some kind of membrane.
26:23There's got to be billions of tons of water behind this.
26:31One tear in that membrane.
26:36Watch your step.
26:37The ground's uneven.
26:39If this is the ground...
26:47What the hell was that?
26:49Decontamination?
26:50Everyone okay?
26:52Okay.
26:53What is this place?
26:55It's like...
26:57nothing in the world.
26:59It's like hell.
27:00No.
27:05Welcome.
27:14Where exactly are we?
27:17Deeper than any human has ever been.
27:22You can remove your apparatus.
27:24No, wait.
27:25This environment has been prepared for you.
27:48Will you trust me, Barkley?
27:49Barkley.
27:53Yeah.
28:20It's okay.
28:45The roof's leaking!
28:47There is no roof.
28:49What?
28:52But you are safe.
28:55I prefer to keep this going.
28:58As you wish.
29:19It's fatigue.
29:29You're running on empty.
29:31All this pressure, it's taking its toll.
29:34Pretty soon you're gonna be of no use to anyone.
29:35I feel fine.
29:36After 48 hours, the brain and the body start to shut down.
29:43I've seen it happen, and I'm watching it happen to you.
29:47If I reported you, you'd be escorted from the building.
29:50Except you wouldn't do that.
29:51The delegates are miles beneath the surface in radio silence for hours.
29:55There's nothing else you can do right now.
29:58But as soon as they're back, we need you on form.
30:01Rested and ready for whatever comes next.
30:03You're amazing.
30:04You're amazing.
30:05But you're not invincible.
30:06Either I take you home to rest, or I report you.
30:18My apartment is a fully equipped comms hub. I'll work from there.
30:34So, how is that light down here?
30:37Well, many deepsy organisms are bioluminescent. Bacteria, plankton, species of fish.
30:42So are we, uh, inside an organism, or...?
30:46I have no idea.
30:47This is impossible.
30:49Your world of steel and glass and sunlight is equally impossible to us.
30:55And is this... is this where you live?
30:58No. We are nomads.
31:01All of the oceans and waterways are our home.
31:06They are curious.
31:08That is all.
31:10So do you all live here, together, like all the species?
31:13There are the fish.
31:15There are the titans.
31:17The dolphins.
31:19And us.
31:21Huh. So it's, uh...
31:22It's like a hierarchy, then. Like a class system?
31:25There are degrees of intellect.
31:28Do not assume we think as one.
31:33Oh.
31:34Oh, sorry, sorry.
31:36I...
31:38I just, uh...
31:40This is...
31:41a lot.
