00:00Let's go, people. Welcome to Blackboard.
00:16We don't have much time, but we've appointed the best naval training personnel to prep us for the descent.
00:22We'll be doing everything they can to prime us both physically and mentally.
00:26We'll manage our stamina, heart rate, and blood pressure, and help get us used to the water.
00:38We'll be descending to the rendezvous point of the submersible, to a depth 8,000 meters, five miles down.
00:45Our journey will take two hours and 17 minutes.
00:49The submersible is currently on a launch vessel with warship escorts, bound for the descent point.
00:56On the dive will be the ambassador, myself, Captain Mackey for communications, myself for science and technology,
01:06and our two diplomatic representatives, Mr. Singh and Ravi, and Mr. Campbell.
01:12Ted, it's a pleasure.
01:14Have we ever been this state before?
01:17Smaller missions of one or two people, nothing of the scale.
01:20And I bet they were trained specialists with years of experience.
01:23We have days to prepare for this.
01:25Yeah, of course there's a risk.
01:26What we're doing today is unprecedented, but this is the toughest submersible on the planet.
01:32This is Kate Lethbridge-Stewart to launch vessel.
01:36Captain Gates, how are we doing?
01:39Just finishing final checks.
01:40Pre-launch checks complete.
01:52The submersible ready for deployment.
01:54Things go wrong all the time.
01:56What if this brings a leak?
01:57That kind of pressure will be crushed to death, pulverized, in an instant.
02:01Get your voice down.
02:04If you do this, you might never come back.
02:06Deep sea pressure compresses air-filled spaces in the body, leading to lung compression and potential...
02:11Now, once we arrive at the descent point, Homo Aqua will transfer us to their environment.
02:17Well, what about the descent? Are they helping us with that?
02:20For the descent, we're on our own.
02:23We're not alone.
02:25We're never alone.
02:26Sorry?
02:27We're a team.
02:32Okay.
02:32Yeah.
02:36Transferred by helicopters at 0600.
02:57Indemnity forms need signing and legal have noted you haven't replied to their emails.
03:02You do need to make sure your will is up to date.
03:05This is it, then.
03:28Do I get a hug before I go?
03:29it might take weeks to clean the roads
03:33the city's been
03:35shut down, you can't go anywhere
03:36yeah well it's lucky you're back here then
03:38we're at war
03:39I know, I'm going to sort it
03:41how?
03:44how are you going to sort anything?
03:47do you know what they're calling you on TikTok?
03:49oh I don't really care
03:50they say you're a useless, traitor, bootlicker
03:53bleeding heart puppet, too thick to negotiate
03:55that's not fair
03:56it doesn't matter because either way we're screwed
03:58either they kill us
04:00or we kill ourselves
04:01I hate the lot of you
04:03they're worried sick about you
04:12yeah I know
04:13I'm sorry but I promise you

04:34bloody hell, if I can get through that
04:36oh, I can get through anything, can't I?
04:39I've got to be strong
04:40for everyone else
04:42right, because everyone's counting on me

06:00they're going to be queuing up, mate
06:02what do you got to do is hang in there
06:05you know, sometimes I can hear my life coach
06:09hold the line, Ted
06:10that's what he'd say in moments like these
06:12moments of fear
06:13of self-doubt
06:15believe in yourself
06:17trust in fate
06:18and hold the line
06:19they get struck by lightning
06:22dead at 50
06:23seriously?
06:30what's in the box?
06:31diplomatic gift
06:33from all nations
06:37and what are Homo Aqua
06:41supposed to do with the globe?
06:42they see the world from underneath, right?
06:45from the depths
06:45never like this
06:47where are they going to put it, Ted?
06:49who knows
06:49maybe they've got, like
06:51coral mantle pieces

07:14we're going to be fine
07:15Oh, my God.
07:46We can be heroes.
07:49Let's save the world.
08:06Seal the hatch.
08:08Controls of all units. We are clear.
08:15Controls of all units.
08:30Confirm lock.
08:31Captain Gates handing control over to you.
08:33Okay, let's pick it up.
08:34Let's move it out.
08:45Taking you off the ship now.
08:46Good luck, everybody.
08:48Good luck to you all.
08:48That's all looking stable, sir. Over.
09:16Deployment is go.
09:18Controls of deck.
09:19All ready for stable.
09:21We are good to go. Over.
09:25Are you okay, Ted?
09:27Isn't that terrific?
09:28Yep.
09:28Tent me.
09:44Prepare for release.
09:47This is it.
09:48On my mark.
09:53In three.
09:54Two.
09:56One.
09:58Mark.
10:00And we're off.
10:11All ready for release.
10:21먹을 ice cream.
10:26In three.
10:35Oh.
10:36No.
10:36No.
10:37No.
10:37No.
10:37No.
10:38Oh, how long's it been?
10:46Seven minutes.
10:48Gone dark already. No sunlight.
10:53Imagine living like this all the time.
10:56Anyway, we're fine, aren't we?
10:59Gonna get a yes, Ted.
11:02Yes, Ted.
11:03I've got some team bonding work games, if anyone's interested.
11:11No, thank you.
11:21Where'd you end up here anyway?
11:24There was a diplomatic lottery for the last two seats, and India won.
11:29Or lost, depending how you see it.
11:33Oh, there was rumours flying around that the draw was rigged,
11:41that most people had their names removed,
11:43because they didn't want to go hard.
11:47I mean, one way to look at it is we're pioneers.
11:52Like those early astronauts.
11:54Where would we be if they hadn't taken that one giant leap?
11:59Oh, the endless net.
12:00He's adjusting to the pressure.
12:02Are you sure?
12:03It's okay, Ted. Just breathe.
12:05No, I'm breathing. I'm fine.
12:16What do you think we'll get for dinner?
12:18When we're back on the ship tonight, hmm?
12:20Think they'll spoil us?
12:21They bloody should.
12:22No.
12:23It'll just be canteen sandwiches again.
12:25Tough being a hero.
12:26Is this water?
12:39This is water?
12:41There is water in here.
12:42Right here on the ship.
12:43Ted, calm down. It's condensation.
12:45How the hell do you know?
12:46Because I read page six of the safety briefing.
12:48Yeah, sorry.
13:02I guess if there was a breach,
13:03this thing would implode before we knew about it.
13:05So...
13:06Can everyone just shut up now, please?
13:11Oh!
13:12Oh!
13:26The economy's already tanking.
13:27If we start closing shipping lanes,
13:29the effect could be catastrophic.
13:30No.
13:31Sorry, sir.
13:32Kate Lethbridge-Stewart.
13:34Okay.
13:34It is a directive of the United Nations
13:36that you need to have a voice in any emergency discussions.
13:39Sorry, we started a little early.
13:41A lot of people couldn't make it.
13:43Some of the Covenant are joining remotely.
13:45With respect, it's a phone call.
13:49I'll catch up.
13:50Please, carry on.
13:51The United States relies on maritime trade,
13:55and we will defend ourselves vigorously
13:57against any disruption to our networks.
14:01The U.S. military is arming itself with sonic weaponry.
14:05Sound cannons are used for crowd control,
14:07but we've adapted the technology for underwater use.
14:10We've identified key shipping lanes we need to protect.
14:14The English Channel, the Panama Canal, the Suez.
14:17Ultra-high-frequency blasts could disable or confuse Homo Aqua,
14:21paving the way for traditional weapons, if required.
14:25Sorry, why are we discussing weapons?
14:26Our focus is on diplomacy.
14:28And there is an armistice agreement in place now
14:30to stop further violence.
14:32Someone's got to be the first to break it.
14:34Sir, our focus should be on diplomacy.
14:36That's why six of our diplomats are risking their lives today.
14:38They're buying time.
14:39That's all they're doing.
14:40It's song and dance, smoke and mirrors.
14:42The General's right.
14:45We make decisions.
14:46Here, in this room.
14:47Western Front, the Falklands.
14:49Iraq.
14:50Wars are fought and won at this table.
14:53They think they own the water.
14:55But while they were splish-splashing around 300 million years ago,
14:58we crawled out of the water.
15:00Then we conquered it.
15:02We built a civilisation that depends on our oceans
15:05to power our homes, feed our crops, and keep us alive.
15:09Keep you in business.
15:10Sorry, but I agree with Kate.
15:12Their civilisation is so ancient and so powerful.
15:14Aren't they a gift?
15:16Couldn't they help solve not just the climate crisis,
15:19but so much more?
15:21If we had them on side.
15:22We're never going to get them on side.
15:24They want us gone.
15:26If they wanted us gone, I think that would have already happened.
15:28If they were gone, we could have access to their technology.
15:31Think of it.
15:32Treasure from the ocean floor.
15:33This is a diplomatic crisis, not a pirate ring.
15:36It's what the West does best.
15:38Colonise and plunder.
15:39I'm sorry, but I'm 60% water.
15:42We all are.
15:44Don't tell me we don't own the water.
15:47If Homo Aquan want a war between the land and the sea,
15:50we'll take the sea.
15:51So this kind of rhetoric is irresponsible.
15:53If you're trying to keep the peace, you've already failed.
15:55If you're not on side, we might have to reconsider our options.
16:04Diplomatic responsibility can easily be transferred.
16:06What to you?
16:07A global emergency committee could guide Homo Aquan
16:10through a peace process that puts mankind first, not you.
16:13What is Sir Keith doing in an emergency meeting?
16:16It is not cabinet or agency and his companies at this very moment
16:20are still pumping millions of litres of sewage into our waterways.
16:24This process is take time.
16:25And don't get me started on General Gisollier
16:27who leaked confidential information to the press.
16:29I think you need to calm down, love.
16:30This is a national security matter.
16:32The fact is we need industry and our allies on side.
16:40We can't do this, sir.
16:43What's going to happen down there?
17:11Oh, hey, come on.
17:11I've already said, we don't know.
17:12So what if this is a trick and they want hostages?
17:15We didn't take any hostages.
17:17Why should they?
17:18Because that's what happens in war.
17:19I promise you, we're going to sort this.
17:21Okay, I don't know how we will, but we will
17:23because my kid is not living through a war.
17:25I never had kids.
17:27If I get out of here, I'm going to call my brother.
17:30We haven't spoken for 20 years.
17:37Go for you.
17:38First thing I'm doing is taking my family out for the meal.
17:42All 19 of us.
17:44All 19 of us.
17:4419 of us?
17:45Yeah.
17:47Yeah.
17:47And I'm bang.
17:52It's so hot.
17:54This suit.
17:57How deep are we?
17:58All right, Ted.
17:58Come on.
17:59Come on, Ted.
17:59Don't think about it.
18:00I watched this show where they made a human out of pig pots, bones and meat.
18:05And they put it in a diving suit and they tested it for deep sea pressure.
18:10Mr. Campbell.
18:11It just turned to soup in a split second.
18:14Okay, Ted, Ted.
18:14No one wants to hear this.
18:16I don't want to be soup.
18:20All right.
18:20Okay.
18:21It's okay.
18:21You're okay.
18:22Ted, come on.
18:22Come on.
18:23Look at me.
18:24Just breathe.
18:24Just breathe now.
18:25Breathe now.
18:25Please.
18:25With me.
18:26Okay?
18:27Slow and steady.
18:28With me.
18:28Because we're a team, aren't we?
18:30Yeah.
18:31Okay.
18:58Well, all six delegates should now be descending to the ocean floor.
19:14Meanwhile, emergency crews continue to clear arterial roads through major...
19:17Can you turn that off, please?
19:19...remain in place for a little time.
19:21A few days ago, the situation was dire.
19:24We were staring down the barrel of unprecedented financial and energy crises.
19:27Now it's catastrophic.
19:29We cannot surrender control of this planet.
19:31Look what they did to us in 15 minutes.
19:33If they wanted to, they could wipe us out.
19:35Unit are looking after their own interests.
19:38It is our moral duty to stop Aquakine however we can.
19:43Harry.
19:43Harry, I know you have a lot on your plate right now.
19:46Alison has a test today.
19:49She'll be with her.
19:51I already know you value my opinion.
19:54And maybe my money.
19:55The generals have decades of military strategy under their belts.
19:59Let us guide you.
20:00Take the pressure off.
20:01When I became Prime Minister, I made a promise to my grandchildren to leave this country better than I found it.
20:13Sir, if we don't win this war, and war is what it is, there will be no grandchildren.
20:22But we believe there is a way through this.
20:26A new stratagem, just between us.
20:29We're calling it Severance.
20:30I found some instant coffee.
20:43And biscuits.
20:48I won't ask you what you had to do for this.
20:50Yeah, let's not.
20:57It'll be okay.
20:58But you look exhausted.
21:02I've had six hours sleep in three days.
21:05This morning I showered in a sink.
21:07Sent good people five miles under the ocean and sat through a Coburn meeting with a rumful of warmongers.
21:13You need a break.
21:14They want to shut unit out.
21:18And if we lose control, who steps in?
21:21Who decides the future of the human race?
21:26Sorry.
21:26Submercibles entering the deepest part of the trench.
21:28Yeah.
21:30Get me Captain Gates.
21:32I want a situation report ASAP.
21:33This is uncharted territory.
21:37They're off the maps now.
21:40This will be the longest night of our lives.
21:41What's that?
22:06What's happened?
22:07I think they stopped.
22:14Are we on a seatbelt?
22:17Negative.
22:20This is SU-1 to service.
22:25Service, this is SU-1.
22:27Hello.
22:34Is anyone there?
22:40Oh my god.
22:43We're moving again.
22:48Captain, what's happening?
22:49We're moving at 12 knots.
22:5118 knots.
22:52These readings don't make sense.
22:56That's not possible.
22:5730 knots.
22:58Something's taking control.
23:02How are they moving so fast?
23:05Captain.
23:06What?
23:07Are they being dragged?
23:08I think so.
23:09They're descending twice as fast.
23:10Steve, how's the pressure?
23:12Pressure's holding.
23:13We've lost comms.
23:15Ping the transponder.
23:15No response.
23:17Okay, do you feel that?
23:18Do you feel like we're descending again?
23:19Why is there no radio content?
23:21Oxygen's normal.
23:21The cables are functioning, we're just...
23:23Cut off.
23:27On our own.
23:36What's happening?
23:37Alex!
24:03We stopped.
24:05And the pressure on the hull is 1200 HPA.
24:09Wait, is that good or bad?
24:11Well, that's like sea level.
24:13That's the pressure on land, except we're five miles down.
24:17Five miles?
24:21Are we inside something?
24:27The whole system's gone down!
24:29Back us, you're kicking in any second!
24:31Bitch, you should track them, they're going to kill us!
24:33Hey, Ted, shut up!
24:35Well, that's it! That's backup!
24:41There's something at the hatch.
24:43They're breaking in!
24:53Raise positions!
24:55Who's going first?
25:05Who's going first?
25:17Who's going first?
25:29Is there a cave?
25:31Wait there!
25:37No, no!
25:43Bloody hell!
25:45It's alive!
25:49It's alive!
25:53Temperature's 21 degrees Celsius, which is impossible!
25:57The atmosphere is breathable!
25:59The atmosphere is breathable, not just breathable, it's perfect!
26:03This place is incredible!
26:07You can come out now, be careful!
26:09There's a trap!
26:15It's some kind of membrane!
26:19There's gotta be billions of tons of water behind this!
26:27One tear in that membrane!
26:29Watch your step!
26:31Watch your step!
26:33The ground's uneven!
26:35If this is the ground...
26:41What the hell was that?
26:43Decontamination?
26:45Everyone okay?
26:47Okay?
26:49This place...
26:51It's like...
26:53Nothing in the world!
26:55It's like hell!
27:01Welcome!
27:09Where exactly are we?
27:13Deeper than any human...
27:15Has ever been.
27:17You can remove your apparatus.
27:19No, wait!
27:21This environment has been prepared for you.
27:43Will you trust me, Barkley?
27:47It's okay.
27:49It's okay.
28:15It's okay.
28:17You see...
28:19The roof's leaking!
28:23There is no roof.
28:25What?
28:27The roof's leaking!
28:29There is no roof.
28:31...What?
28:33The roof is leaking!
28:42There is no roof.
28:44What?
28:46But you are safe.
28:49I prefer to keep this going.
28:53As you wish.
29:03It's fatigue.
29:24You're running on empty.
29:26All this pressure, it's taking its toll.
29:29Pretty soon, you're going to be of no use to anyone.
29:31I feel fine.
29:33After 48 hours, the brain and the body start to shut down.
29:39I've seen it happen, and I'm watching it happen to you.
29:43If I reported you, you'd be escorted from the building.
29:45Except you wouldn't do that.
29:47The delegates are miles beneath the surface in radio silence for hours.
29:51There's nothing else you can do right now.
29:54But as soon as they're back, we need you on form.
29:56Rested and ready for whatever comes next.
29:58You're amazing.
30:06But you're not invincible.
30:16Either I take you home to rest, or I report you.
30:19My apartment is a fully equipped comms hub for work from there.
30:24So, how is it light down here?
30:32Well, many didn't see organisms are bioluminescent.
30:35Bacteria, plankton, species of fish.
30:37So are we inside an organism?
30:40I have no idea.
30:42This is impossible.
30:44Your world of steel and glass and sunlight is equally impossible to us.
30:50And is this where you live?
30:53No.
30:54We are nomads.
30:56All of the oceans and waterways are our home.
30:59They are curious.
31:03That is all.
31:05So, do you all live here?
31:06Together?
31:07Like all the species?
31:08There are the fish.
31:10There are the titans.
31:12The dolphins.
31:14And us.
31:16Huh.
31:16So, it's like a hierarchy then.
31:19Like a class system.
31:21There are degrees of intellect.
31:23Do not assume we think as one.
31:26Oh, sorry, sorry.
31:32I, I, I just, uh, this is a lot.
31:38Here, hold on to me.
31:41Come on, come on.
31:42Keep moving, keep moving.
31:44Come on.
31:53Hang on.
31:54Where are the others?
31:56Have the wolves moved?
32:04It's just you.
32:06And me.
32:11I feel like I know you.
32:14I'm not gonna know you.
32:17I haven't known you forever.
32:20Is that weird?
32:22I understand.
32:23I understand.
32:26You're so warm.
32:41And rough.
32:41Can I, um...
32:49Can I touch you?
32:52What do you feel?
33:15Strength.
33:20And beauty.
33:22I don't know why you chose me for any of this.
33:33The tides have drawn us together.
33:37The undercurrents pulling us closer.
33:42If you calm your mind, you'll feel their power.
33:47But your thoughts are noisy.
33:59Can you read them?
34:00Human emotions are so loud.
34:04We cannot help but listen.
34:13Your heart is racing.
34:17Yeah, I don't want to mess you so happy.
34:20Billions of people are counting on us.
34:22You have good intentions.
34:31We could make a difference, you and I.
34:35End the conflict between our species.
34:39Before it's too late.
34:40Barkley!
34:53We thought we'd last you.
34:56Are you all right?
34:58Yeah.
35:00We are assembled.
35:01Oh, my God.
35:23Do not be afraid.
35:25This is how it felt for you.
35:32Missing us.
35:33Yeah.
35:33God bless you.
35:50Yeah!
35:50Yeah!
35:51Yeah!
35:51Yeah!
35:54Yeah!
35:55Yeah!
35:56Welcome to our domain.
36:17They're down there, on their own, with no support.
36:21Do you think one day we won't need to keep us a secret anymore?
36:29I don't know.
36:31I'm sick of hiding it.
36:33Pretending.
36:35Worrying about being transferred to God knows where.
36:37Alaska?
36:39You find it so easy.
36:43The future of the human race pivots on what happens tonight.
36:47We don't matter.
36:48How can you be thinking about us?
36:51I think about us all the time.
36:59Can't you not be Commander-in-Chief?
37:01Just for a few hours.
37:05I don't know how.
37:09Leave it.
37:15Shirley, hi. Any news from the delegates?
37:16No. All quiet.
37:18So I ran some intel on the people in that Cobra meeting.
37:20Thanks.
37:21I think I found something.
37:23A repeated word in Diplomatic Communications.
37:27Does the word severance mean anything to you?
37:29No.
37:30It's never appeared before.
37:31Now it's been used 14 times in the last two days.
37:34The coded message is going back and forth.
37:36Severance.
37:37Severance.
37:38Severance.
37:38educators.
37:43Kate?
37:49Hey.
37:50Hey.
37:51Hey.
38:03Kate.
38:04Kate?
38:04Kate?
38:06Kate, you there?
38:08Kate!
38:19This is for you.
38:34Hello?
38:40I agree.
38:46What?
38:52Hello?
38:54Hello?
38:57Study.
39:00Please.
39:04Your war is lost.
39:34Your war is lost.
