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.
00:26We'll be doing everything they can to prime us both physically and mentally.
00:31Monitor our stamina, heart rate, and blood pressure.
00:36And help get us used to the water.
00:43We'll be descending to the rendezvous point in the submersible, to a depth 8,000 meters, five miles down.
00:49Our journey will take two hours and 17 minutes.
00:53The submersible is currently on a launch vessel with warship escorts bound for the descent point.
01:00On 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.
01:25And 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 of the merciful on the planet.
01:37This is Kate Lethbridge-Stewart to launch vessel.
01:40Captain Gates, how are we doing?
01:43Just finishing final checks.
01:45Come on, look, come on!
01:46Do you want to get out of bed?
01:47We're down, come on!
01:48We're down!
01:49Do you want to get out of bed?
01:50No!
01:51No!
01:52Have we got out of bed?
01:53Yeah!
01:54Good job!
01:55Pre-launch checks complete.
01:56TheLOVE diplomas have already cleared the climb.
01:58Things go wrong all the time.
02:00What if this brings a leak?
02:02That kind of pressure will be crushed to death, pulverized, in an instant...
02:05Oh, just get 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.
02:22Well, what about the descent? Are they helping us with that?
02:25For the descent, we're on our own.
02:28We're not alone. We're never alone.
02:31Sorry?
02:32We're a team.
02:37I'll kill you.
02:37Hmm.
02:59Transferred by helicopters at 0600.
03:02Indemnity forms need signing and legal have noted you haven't replied to their emails.
03:06You do need to make sure your will is up to date.
03:10This is it, then.
03:31Do I get a hug before I go?
03:36It might take weeks to clean the roads.
03:39City's been shut down. You can't go anywhere.
03:42Yeah, well, it's lucky you're back here, isn't it?
03:44We're at war.
03:45I know. 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.
03:55You're a useless, traitor, bootlicker, bleeding heart puppet.
03:59Too 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.
04:08They're worried sick about you.
04:17Yeah, I know.
04:19I'm sorry, but I promise you I'm going to be fine.
04:22No, 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?
04:36I don't know.
04:39Bloody hell, if I can get through that, or I can get through anything, can I?
04:44I've got to be strong for everyone else, right?
04:48Because everyone's counting on me.
04:51Kate, Sue, McCurvy, the whole world.
05:00You don't have to be strong for me.
05:06Oh, my, oh, I'm so scared.
05:27Alright, I think I'm okay now.
05:31What?
05:32Yeah?
05:33Yeah, sorry.
05:33I've been a diplomat for three months.
05:51Three months, I've...
05:52I'm not going 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 your girlfriend out of it?
06:05They're going to be queuing up, mate.
06:08What 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.
06:24They get struck by lightning, dead of 50.
06:29Seriously?
06:35What's in the box?
06:37Diplomatic gift.
06:41From all nations.
06:42And what are Homo aqua supposed to do with the globe?
06:48They see the world from underneath, right?
06:50From the depths.
06:51Never like this.
06:53Where are they going to put it, Ted?
06:54Who knows?
06:55Maybe they've got, like, coral mantle pieces.
06:59Aren't you fazed by any of this?
07:01We're going to be fine.
07:03Boot floats.
07:03We're going to be fine.
07:33In the words of a great man,
07:51we can be heroes.
07:54Let's save the world.
07:55See all the hatch?
08:13Control to all units.
08:14We are clear.
08:15We are clear.
08:17We are clear.
08:22Confirm lock.
08:36Captain Gates handing control over to you.
08:38Okay, let's pick it up.
08:49Let's move it out.
08:50Taking you off the ship now.
08:51Good luck, everybody.
08:53Good luck to you all.
08:53Good luck.
08:55Good luck.
08:57Good luck.
09:03Good luck.
09:03That's all looking stable, sir. Over.
09:21Deployment is go.
09:23Control deck. All reading the stable. We are good to go. Over.
09:30You okay, Ted?
09:32You're terrific.
09:33Yep.
09:39Gently.
09:49Prepare for release.
09:52This is it.
09:56On my mark.
09:58In three.
09:59Two.
10:01One.
10:02Mark.
10:03And we're off.
10:16And we're off.
10:16The scene.
10:17Oh.
10:17Oh.
10:19Hold on.
10:23Oh.
10:37Oh.
10:37Oh.
10:39Oh.
10:39Here we go.
10:41Oh, how long's it been?
10:51Seven minutes.
10:53Gone dark already. No sunlight.
10:58Imagine living like this all the time.
11:01Anyway, we're fine, aren't we?
11:04Gonna get a yes, Ted.
11:07Yes, Ted.
11:11I've got some team bonding work games, if anyone's interested.
11:16No, thank you.
11:25Where'd you end up here anyway?
11:29There was a diplomatic lottery for the last two seats, and India won.
11:34Or lost, depending how you see it.
11:41Oh, there was rumors flying around that the draw was rigged, that most people had their names removed, because they didn't want to go ahead.
11:50I mean, one way to look at it, is we're pioneers.
11:57Like those early astronauts, you know?
11:59Where would we be if they hadn't taken that one giant link?
12:04What the hell is that?
12:05It is adjusting to the pressure.
12:07Are you sure?
12:08It's okay, Ted. Just breathe.
12:10I'm breathing. I'm fine.
12:12What do you think we'll get for dinner, when 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's head.
12:48Calm down. It's condensation.
12:50How the hell do you know?
12:51Because I read page six of the safety briefing.
12:53Yeah, 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?
13:23The 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 need to 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.
13:50With respect, it's a phone call.
13:53I'll catch up.
13:55Please, carry on.
13:57The United States relies on maritime trade,
14:00and we will defend ourselves vigorously against any disruption to our networks.
14:06The US 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.
14:21Ultra-high-frequency blasts could disable or confuse homo aqua,
14:26paving the way for traditional weapons, if required.
14:30Sorry, why are we discussing weapons?
14:31Our focus is on diplomacy.
14:33And 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 gentleman's right.
14:49We make decisions.
14:51Here, in this room.
14:52Western Front, the Falklands.
14:54Iraq.
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,
15:03we crawled out of the water.
15:05Then we conquered it.
15:06We built a civilisation that depends on our oceans to power our homes,
15:12feed our crops and keep us alive.
15:14Keep you in business.
15:15Sorry, but I agree with Kate.
15:17Their civilisation 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?
15:26If 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.
15:43Colonise 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.
16:03If 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 units.
16:18Sorry, what is Sir Keith doing in an emergency meeting?
16:20It 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.
16:36This is a national security matter.
16:37The fact is we need industry and our allies on side.
16:40We can't do this alone.
16:46We can't do this alone.
17:06We can't do this alone.
17:08What's going to happen down there?
17:16Oh, hey, 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.
17:35We haven't spoken for 20 years.
17:38Go for you.
17:45First thing I'm doing is taking my family out for the meal.
17:48All 19 of us.
17:4919?
17:51Yeah.
17:52Yeah, and I'm paying.
17:57It's so hot.
17:59Let's sit.
18:02How deep are we?
18:03All right, Ted.
18:03Come on, Ted.
18:04Don't think about that.
18:05I watched this show where they made a human out of pig pots.
18:08Ponds and meat.
18:10And they put it in a diving suit.
18:12And they tested it for deep sea pressure.
18:15Mr. Campbell.
18:16They just turned to soup in a split second.
18:19Okay, 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.
18:27Come on.
18:28Look at me.
18:29Just breathe.
18:29Just breathe now.
18:30Breathe now.
18:30Please, with me.
18:31Okay?
18:32Slow and steady.
18:33With me.
18:34Because we're a team, aren't we?
18:35Yeah?
18:51Well, all six delegates should now be descending to the ocean floor.
19:18Meanwhile, emergency crews continue to clear arterial roads through...
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.
19:49I know you have a lot on your plate right now.
19:51Alison has a test today.
19:54She'll be with her.
19:55I 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.
20:12When I became Prime Minister,
20:14I made a promise to my grandchildren to leave this country better than I found it.
20:18Sir,
20:19if we don't win this war,
20:22and war is what it is,
20:23there will be no grand tour.
20:27But we believe there is a way through this.
20:31A new stratagem.
20:32Just between us.
20:34We're calling it Severance.
20:45I found some instant coffee.
20:48And
20:49biscuits.
20:51I won't ask you what you had to do for this.
20:55Yeah, let's not.
21:02It'll be okay.
21:05But you look exhausted.
21:06I'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
21:14and sat through a Cobra meeting with a rumful of warmongers.
21:17You need a break.
21:19They want a shut unit out.
21:23And if we lose control,
21:24who steps in?
21:26Who decides the future of the human race?
21:31Sorry.
21:31Submersible's entering the deepest part of the trench.
21:33Get me Captain Gates.
21:37I want a situation report.
21:38ASAP.
21:40This 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?
22:12I think they stopped.
22:19Are we on a seabed?
22:22Negative.
22:24This 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.
22:59These readings don't make sense.
23:01That's not possible.
23:0213 knots.
23:03Something's taking control.
23:06How are they moving so fast?
23:10Captain!
23:11What?
23:12Are they being dragged?
23:13I think so.
23:14They're descending twice as fast.
23:15Steve, how's the pressure?
23:17Pressure's holding.
23:18No, what's wrong?
23:19We've lost comms.
23:20Ping the transponder.
23:20No response.
23:22Okay, do you feel that?
23:23Do you feel like we're descending again?
23:24Why is there no radio content?
23:26Oxygen's normal.
23:27The cables are functioning.
23:27We're just...
23:28Cut off.
23:31On our own.
23:32Yeah.
23:36What's happening next?
23:39Oh, Oxygen's like,į»©ng on your breathingē ē©¶ę is horrible.
23:41The wind is forced.
23:42What's happening next?
23:42Oh.
23:43Sorry.
23:44Oh, Derek's.
23:51Oh, my God.
23:56Oh, my God.
23:57Oh, my God.
23:59Oh, my God.
24:00Oh, my God.
24:01Oh, my God.
24:02Oh, my God.
24:03Oh, my God.
24:04Oh, my God.
24:05Oh, my God.
24:06We stopped and the pressure on the hull is 1200 HPA which is that good or bad?
24:16That's like sea level. That's the pressure on land except we're five miles down.
24:21Five miles?
24:26Are we inside something?
24:31The hull system's gone down.
24:33Come on, come on down everyone.
24:34Back up, you should kick in any second.
24:35Bitch, you should track the back. I should kill us.
24:37For Christ's sake, Ted, shut up.
24:40Well, that's it. That's backup.
24:45There's something at the hatch. It's them.
24:57They're breaking in.
24:58Raise positions.
25:03Who's going first?
25:04Who's going first?
25:09Is that cave?
25:10I don't know. Wait there.
25:14Who's going first?
25:32Is that cave?
25:35I don't know.
25:36Wait there.
25:41No!
25:44Oh, bloody hell.
25:54It's alive.
25:58Temperature's 21 degrees Celsius, which is impossible.
26:03Atmosphere's breathable, not just breathable.
26:05It's perfect.
26:08This place is incredible.
26:12You can come out now.
26:13Be careful.
26:14There's a drop.
26:19It's some kind of membrane.
26:23There's got to be billions of tons of water behind this.
26:31One tear in that membrane.
26:37Watch your step.
26:38The ground's uneven.
26:39If this is the ground.
26:45What the hell was that?
26:49Decontamination?
26:50Everyone okay?
26:52Okay.
26:53What is this place?
26:55It's like nothing in the world.
26:58It's like hell.
26:59It's like hell.
27:05Welcome.
27:13Where exactly are we?
27:15Deeper than any human has ever been.
27:22You can remove your apparatus.
27:25No, wait.
27:26This environment has been prepared for you.
27:28Will you trust me, Barkley?
27:50Let me?
27:50There.
27:57Yeah.
27:59word
28:03It's okay.
28:33The roof's leaking!
28:47There is no roof.
28:49What?
28:51But you are safe.
28:54I prefer to keep this going.
28:58As you wish.
28:59It's fatigue.
29:29You're running on empty.
29:31All this pressure, it's taking its toll.
29:34Pretty soon you're going to be of no use to anyone.
29:36I feel fine.
29:40After 48 hours, the brain and the body start to shut down.
29:44I've seen it happen, and I'm watching it happen to you.
29:48If I reported you, you'd be escorted from the building.
29:50Except you wouldn't do that.
29:52The delegates are miles beneath the surface in radio silence for hours.
29:56There's nothing else you can do right now.
29:59But as soon as they're back, we need you on form.
30:01Rested and ready for whatever comes next.
30:08You're amazing.
30:09But you're not invincible.
30:21Either I take you home to rest, or I report you.
30:24My apartment is a fully equipped comms hub for work from there.
30:35So, how is that light down here?
30:37Well, many deeps the organisms are bioluminescent.
30:40Bacteria, plankton, species of fish.
30:42So are we inside an organism?
30:45I 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.
30:59We are nomads.
31:01All of the oceans and waterways are our home.
31:06They are curious.
31:08That is all.
31:09So do you all live here, together, like all the species?
31:12There are the fish, there are the titans, the dolphins, and us.
31:21Huh.
31:21So it's like a hierarchy then, like a class system.
31:26There are degrees of intellect.
31:29Do not assume we think as one.
31:33Oh.
31:34Oh, sorry, sorry.
31:37I...
31:37I just...
31:38This is...
31:41A lot, and...
31:43Here.
31:45Hold on to me.
31:46Come on.
31:46Come on.
31:47Keep moving.
31:48Keep moving.
31:49Come on.
31:58Hang on.
31:58Where are the others?
32:03Have the wolves moved?
32:05Have the wolves moved?
32:08It's just you.
32:11And me.
32:16I thought I'd know you.
32:19I'm not gonna know you.
32:22I've known you forever.
32:25Is that weird?
32:27I understand.
32:28I understand.
32:28You're so warm.
32:45And rough.
32:53Can I...
32:54Can I touch you?
32:58What do you feel?
33:20Strength.
33:25And beauty.
33:26And beauty.
33:28I don't know why you chose me
33:31For any of this.
33:38The tides
33:39Have drawn us together.
33:42The undercurrents
33:43Pulling us closer.
33:47If you calm your mind
33:49You'll feel their power.
33:52But your thoughts are noisy.
34:04Can you read them?
34:07Human emotions are so loud.
34:09We cannot help but listen.
34:11Your heart is racing.
34:18Your heart is racing.
34:22Yeah.
34:22I don't want to mess you so happy.
34:25Billions of people are counting on us.
34:29You have good intentions.
34:30We could make a difference, you and I.
34:40End the conflict between our species.
34:44Before it's too late.
34:50Yeah.
34:51Barkley.
34:55Barkley.
34:58We thugged last year.
35:01You alright?
35:03Yeah.
35:05We are assembled.
35:06We are assembled.
35:06Oh, my God.
35:24Oh, my God.
35:28Do not be afraid.
35:30This is how it felt for you.
35:37Missing us.
36:00Welcome
36:11To our domain.
36:22They're down there.
36:23On their own.
36:25With no support.
36:26Do you think one day we won't need to keep us a secret anymore?
36:34I don't know.
36:36I'm sick of hiding it.
36:38Pretending.
36:40Worrying about being transferred to God knows where.
36:42Alaska.
36:44You'll find it so easy.
36:48The future of the human race pivots on what happens tonight.
36:52We don't matter.
36:54How can you be thinking about us?
36:56I think about us all the time.
37:04Can't you not be Commander-in-Chief?
37:06Just for a few hours.
37:10I don't know how.
37:14Leave it.
37:15Shirley, hi.
37:20Any news from the delegates?
37:22No.
37:22All quiet.
37:23So I ran some intel on the people in that Cobra meeting.
37:26Thanks.
37:27I think I found something.
37:28A repeated word in diplomatic communications.
37:32Does the word severance mean anything to you?
37:34No.
37:35It's never appeared before.
37:36Now it's been used 14 times in the last two days.
37:40The coded message is going back and forth.
