00:00All over the world, humanity reacts to the simple fact
00:03the species that came before us has woken up.
00:05We would speak with him.
00:09We're putting an enormous amount of pressure on one man.
00:13Tissue samples.
00:14No thine enemy.
00:16It'll be the death of the energy industry, of your livelihood.
00:19We'll be sliding into recession.
00:21We cannot hear, or see, or breathe.
00:24So tell me why we should live like this for just one day longer.
00:29Mum!
00:30Oh my god.
00:31They clean up the ocean, the plastic, the pollution, all of it.
00:33They're giving it back.
00:35All across Manhattan, the sky is raining plastic.
00:39They're declaring war.
00:40Our next meeting will be here.
00:44Roman's Trench, one of the deepest waterways on the planet.
00:47Will you meet us, Barclay, at the bottom of the ocean?
00:50Okay.
00:50It's a death of a bear.
01:03When you want the source of air is living like that world?
01:06It's as long as you scrolls off.
01:07We'll be there.
01:08You'll be there.
01:08Go ahead.
01:09Go ahead.
01:10You would be there.
01:10You know what?
01:11attireavin'
01:42Let's go, people. Welcome to Blackport.
01:51We don't have much time, but we've appointed the best naval training personnel to prep us from the descent.
01:58We'll be doing everything they can to prime us both physically and mentally.
02:04Monitor our stamina, heart rate, and blood pressure.
02:08And help get us used to the water.
02:12We'll be descending to the rendezvous point in the submersible to a depth of 8,000 meters, five miles down.
02:22Our journey will take two hours and 17 minutes.
02:25The submersible is currently on a launch vessel with warship escorts bound for the descent point.
02:30On the dive will be the ambassador, myself, Captain Mackey for communications, myself for the science and technology, and our two diplomatic representatives, Mr. Singh.
02:46And Ravi.
02:48And Mr. Campbell.
02:49Ted, it's a pleasure.
02:51Have we ever been this deep before?
02:55Smaller missions of one or two people.
02:57Nothing of the scale.
02:59And I bet they were trained specialists with years of experience.
03:02We have days to prepare for this.
03:03Yeah, of course there's a risk.
03:05What we're doing today is unprecedented, but this is the toughest submersible on the planet.
03:11This is Kate Lethbridge-Stewart to launch vessel.
03:13Captain Gates, how are we doing?
03:18Just finishing final checks.
03:29Pre-launch checks complete.
03:31Submersible ready for deployment.
03:34Things go wrong all the time.
03:36What if it springs a leak?
03:37That kind of pressure will be crushed to death, pulverized in an instant.
03:41Get your voice down.
03:43If you do this, you might never come back.
03:47Deep-sea pressure compresses air-filled spaces in the body, leading to lung compression and potential...
03:52Now, once we arrive at the descent point, Homo Aqua will transfer us to their environment.
03:58Well, what about the descent?
03:59Are they helping us with that?
04:01For the descent, we're on our own.
04:04We're not alone.
04:06We're never alone.
04:07Sorry?
04:09We're a team.
04:13Okay.
04:14Yeah.
04:15Transferred by helicopters at 0600.
04:39Indemnity forms need signing, and legal have noted you haven't replied to their emails.
04:46You do need to make sure your will is up to date.
04:48This is it, then.
05:10Do I get a hug before I go?
05:14It might take weeks to clean the roads.
05:17The city's been shut down.
05:20You can't go anywhere.
05:22Yeah, well, it's lucky you're back here, then, isn't it?
05:24We're at war.
05:25I know.
05:26I'm going to sort it.
05:27How?
05:29How are you going to sort anything?
05:32Do you know what they're calling you on TikTok?
05:34Oh, I don't really care.
05:35You're a useless, traitor, bootlicker, bleeding-heart puppet.
05:40Too thick to negotiate.
05:41That's not fair.
05:42It doesn't matter, because either way, we're screwed.
05:44Either they kill us, or we kill ourselves.
05:48I hate the lot of you.
05:58They're worried sick about you.
05:59Yeah, I know.
06:00I'm sorry, but I promise you I'm going to be fine.
06:03No, no, no, no, no.
06:04Please, please, please don't.
06:09Got this?
06:10Okay?
06:12I can do this.
06:14I mean, for God's sake, I nursed Mum through cancer, didn't I?
06:20Didn't I?
06:22Bloody hell, if I can get through that.
06:24Oh, I can get through anything, can't I?
06:25I've got to be strong for everyone else, right?
06:31Because everyone's counting on me.
06:34Okay?
06:36So, because it's the whole world.
06:44You don't have to be strong for me.
06:50Oh, I'm so scared.
06:55Oh, I'm so scared.
07:02I remember.
07:12What?
07:12Okay, now.
07:16What?
07:18Yeah.
07:18Yeah, sorry.
07:25Ravi?
07:32Hmm?
07:33You okay?
07:35I've been a diplomat for three months.
07:37Three months, I've...
07:39I've not gone down for this.
07:41Of course you are.
07:42You're going to come back a hero.
07:43You know that, right?
07:45This will set us up for life.
07:47Speaking tours, book deals, the works.
07:51You think I'll get a girlfriend out of it?
07:53They're going to be queuing up, mate.
07:54What do you got to do is hang in there.
07:59You know, sometimes I can hear my life coach.
08:02Hold the line, Ted.
08:03That's what he'd say in moments like these.
08:05Moments of fear, of self-doubt.
08:09Believe in yourself, trust in fate, and hold the line.
08:14I get struck by lightning.
08:16Dead at 50.
08:17Seriously?
08:24What's in the box?
08:26Diplomatic gift.
08:29From all nations.
08:31And what are Homo aqua supposed to do with the globe?
08:37They see the world from underneath, right?
08:39From the depths.
08:41Never like this.
08:42Where are they going to put it, Ted?
08:43Who knows?
08:45Maybe they've got, like, coral mantel pieces.
08:48Aren't you fazed by any of this?
08:51We're going to be fine.
08:53Boot floats.
08:53We're going to be fine.
09:23In the words of a great man,
09:42we can be heroes.
09:46Let's save the world.
09:48Seal the hatch.
10:06Control to all units.
10:08We are clear.
10:09We are clear.
10:11Confirm lock.
10:30Captain Gates handing control over to you.
10:33Okay, let's pick it up.
10:34Let's move it out.
10:46Taking you off the ship now.
10:47Good luck, everybody.
10:48Good luck to you all.
10:49That's all looking stable, sir.
11:17Over.
11:18Deployment is go.
11:20Control to deck.
11:21Already stable.
11:23We are good to go.
11:24Over.
11:27You okay, Ted?
11:29You done terrific.
11:31Yep.
11:36Ten B.
11:38Prepare for release.
11:50This is it.
11:54On my mark.
11:56In three.
11:58Two.
12:00One.
12:02Mark.
12:02And we're off.
12:16And we're off.
12:16We're off.
12:17One.
12:17Three.
12:17Two.
12:18Two.
12:27Two.
12:29Two.
12:30One.
12:30Two.
12:32One.
12:32Two.
12:33Two.
12:33Two.
12:33Two.
12:34Two.
12:44Two.
12:45Three.
12:45Oh, how long's it been?
12:52Seven minutes.
12:55Gone dark already.
12:57No sunlight.
12:59Imagine living like this all the time.
13:03Anyway, we're fine, aren't we?
13:06Gonna get a yes, Ted.
13:10Yes, Ted.
13:15I've got some team bonding work games, if anyone's interested.
13:18No, thank you.
13:29Where'd you end up here, anyway?
13:32There was a diplomatic lottery for the last two seats, and India won.
13:37Or lost, depending how you see it.
13:45Oh, there was rumors flying around that the draw was rigged, that most people had their
13:52names removed, because they didn't want to go hunt.
13:57I mean, one way to look at it is we're pioneers, like those early astronauts, you know?
14:04Where would we be if they hadn't taken that one giant link?
14:07Oh, hell is that?
14:10He's adjusting to the pressure.
14:13Are you sure?
14:14It's okay, Ted.
14:15Just breathe.
14:16No, I'm breathing.
14:17I'm fine.
14:27What do you think we'll get for dinner?
14:29When we're back on the ship tonight, hmm?
14:31Think they'll spoil us?
14:32They bloody should.
14:33No.
14:34It'll just be canteen sandwiches again.
14:37It's tough being a hero.
14:37Is this water?
14:51This is water?
14:53There is water in here.
14:54Right down the ship.
14:55Ted, calm down.
14:56It's condensation.
14:57How the hell do you know?
14:58Because I read page six of the safety briefing.
15:01Oh.
15:07Yeah, sorry.
15:15I guess if there was a breach, this thing would implode before we knew about it.
15:18So...
15:19Can everyone just shut up now, please?
15:24The economy's already tanking.
15:41If we start closing shipping lanes, the effect could be catastrophic.
15:44Catastrophic.
15:45No.
15:46Sorry, sir.
15:47Kate Lethbridge-Stewart.
15:49Okay.
15:49It is a directive of the United Nations that you need to have a voice in any emergency discussions.
15:54Sorry, we started a little early.
15:56A lot of people couldn't make it.
15:58Some of the Covenant are joining remotely.
16:00With respect, it's a phone call.
16:04I'll catch up.
16:05Please, carry on.
16:06The United States relies on maritime trade, and we will defend ourselves vigorously against
16:14any disruption to our networks.
16:17The U.S. military is arming itself with sonic weaponry.
16:21Sound cannons are used for crowd control, but we've adapted the technology for underwater use.
16:27We've identified key shipping lanes we need to protect.
16:31The English Channel, the Panama Canal, the Suez.
16:33Ultra-high-frequency blasts could disable or confuse Homo Aqua, paving the way for traditional
16:40weapons, if required.
16:42Sorry, why are we discussing weapons?
16:44Our focus is on diplomacy.
16:45And there is an armistice agreement in place now to stop further violence.
16:50Someone's got to be the first to break it.
16:52Sir, our focus should be on diplomacy.
16:53That's why six of our diplomats are risking their lives today.
16:56They're buying time.
16:57That's all they're doing.
16:58It's song and dance, smoke and mirrors.
17:00The general's right.
17:03We make decisions here in this room, the Western Front, the Falklands, Iraq.
17:09Wars are fought and won at this table.
17:12They think they own the water.
17:14But while they were splish splashing around 300 million years ago, we crawled out of the
17:18water.
17:19And we conquered it.
17:20We built a civilization that depends on our oceans to power our homes, feed our crops and
17:27keep us alive.
17:28Keep you in business.
17:30Sorry, but I agree with Kate.
17:32Their civilization is so ancient and so powerful.
17:34Aren't they a gift?
17:36Couldn't they help solve not just the climate crisis, but so much more?
17:40If we had them on side.
17:42We're never going to get them on side.
17:45They want us gone.
17:46If they wanted us gone, I think that would have already happened.
17:49If they were gone, we could have access to their technology.
17:52Think of it.
17:53Treasure from the ocean floor.
17:54This is a diplomatic crisis, not a pirate raid.
17:57It's what the West does best.
17:59Colonize and plunder.
18:00I'm sorry, but I'm 60% water.
18:04We all are.
18:06Don't tell me we don't own the water.
18:09If Homo Aqua want a war between the land and the sea, we'll take the sea.
18:12So this kind of rhetoric is irresponsible.
18:15If you're trying to keep the peace, you've already failed.
18:21If you're not on side, we might have to reconsider our options.
18:26Diplomatic responsibility can easily be transferred.
18:28What to you?
18:30A global emergency committee could guide Homo Aqua through a peace process that puts mankind first.
18:35Sorry, what is Sir Keith doing in an emergency meeting?
18:38It is not cabinet or agency and his companies at this very moment are still pumping millions of litres of sewage into our waterways.
18:47These processes take time.
18:48And don't get me started on General Gesselier, who leaked confidential information to the press.
18:53I think you need to calm down, love.
18:54This is a national security matter.
18:56The fact is, we need industry and our allies on side.
19:05We can't do this alone.
19:06We can't do this alone.
19:35What's going to happen down there?
19:36Ravi, come on.
19:37We've already said we don't know.
19:39So what if this is a trick, and they want hostages?
19:41We didn't take any hostages.
19:43Why should they?
19:44Because that's what happens in war.
19:45I promise you, we're going to sort this, OK?
19:47I don't know how we will, but we will,
19:49because my kid is not living through a war.
19:51I never had kids.
19:53If I get out of here, I'm going to call my brother.
19:57We haven't spoken for 20 years.
19:59Good for you.
20:07First thing I'm doing is taking my family out for the meal.
20:10All 19 of us.
20:1119?
20:13Yeah.
20:14Yeah, and I'm paying.
20:15Shit.
20:20It's so hot.
20:22Oh, shit.
20:25How deep are we?
20:26All right, Ted, come on.
20:27Come on, Ted, don't think about that.
20:28I watched this show where they made a human out of pig parts,
20:32bones, and meat, and they put it in a diving suit,
20:35and they tested it for deep sea pressure.
20:39Mr. Campbell.
20:40It just turned to soup in a split second.
20:42OK, Ted, Ted, no one wants to hear this.
20:44And I don't want to be soup.
20:49All right, OK, it's OK.
20:50You're OK.
20:51Ted, come on.
20:52Come on.
20:52Look at me.
20:53Just breathe.
20:53Just breathe now.
20:54Breathe now, please, with me.
20:56OK?
20:56Slow and steady.
20:57Stay with me, because we're a team, aren't we?
21:00Yeah?
21:01OK.
21:27Well, all six delegates should now be descending to the ocean floor.
21:45Meanwhile, emergency crews continue to clear arterial roads through major...
21:49Can you turn that off, please?
21:51A few days ago, the situation was dire.
21:55We were staring down the barrel of unprecedented financial and energy crises.
21:59Now it's catastrophic.
22:00We cannot surrender control of this planet.
22:03Look what they did to us in 15 minutes.
22:05If they wanted to, they could wipe us out.
22:07Unit are looking after their own interests.
22:09It is our moral duty to stop Aquakine however we can.
22:14Harry, I know you have a lot on your plate right now.
22:19Alison has a test today.
22:21She'll be with her.
22:23I already know you value my opinion, and maybe my money.
22:29The generals have decades of military strategy under their belts.
22:33Let us guide you.
22:34Take the pressure off.
22:41When I became prime minister, I made a promise to my grandchildren to leave this country better than I found it.
22:47Sir, if we don't win this war, and war is what it is, there will be no grandchildren.
22:56But we believe there is a way through this, a new stratagem, just between us.
23:03We're calling it Sevens.
23:16I found some instant coffee.
23:20And biscuits.
23:23I won't ask you what you had to do for those.
23:26Yeah, let's know.
23:34They'll be okay.
23:37But you look exhausted.
23:39I've had six hours sleep in three days.
23:43This morning, I showered in a sink, sent good people five miles under the ocean,
23:46and sat through a Coburn meeting with a rumful of warmongers.
23:51You need a break.
23:54They want a shut unit out.
23:56And if we lose control, who steps in?
23:59Who decides the future of the human race?
24:04Sorry.
24:05Submersible's entering the deepest part of the trench.
24:07Yeah.
24:09Get me Captain Gates.
24:10I want a situation report ASAP.
24:14This is uncharted territory.
24:16They're off the maps now.
24:17This will be the longest night of our lives.
24:30What's that? What's happened?
24:47I think they stopped.
24:54Are we... are we on a seat bed?
24:59Negative.
24:59This is SU-1 to service.
25:07Service, this is SU-1.
25:13Hello?
25:13Is anyone there?
25:22Oh my god.
25:26We're not even again.
25:27Captain, what's happening?
25:32We're moving at 12 knots, 18 knots.
25:37These readings don't make sense.
25:39That's not possible.
25:4013 knots.
25:41Something's taking control.
25:45How are they moving so fast?
25:48Captain, what are they being dragged?
25:51I think so.
25:52They're descending twice as fast.
25:54Steve, how's the pressure?
25:55Pressure is holding.
25:57We've lost comms.
25:58Ping the transponder.
25:59No response.
26:01Okay, do you feel that?
26:01Do you feel like we're descending again?
26:03Why is there no radio content?
26:05Oxygen's normal.
26:05The cables are functioning.
26:06We're just...
26:08Cut off.
26:11On our own.
26:21What's happening?
26:49We've stopped.
26:51And the pressure on the hull is 1200 HPA.
26:56Wait, is that good or bad?
26:57Well, that's like sea level.
26:59That's the pressure on land, except we're five miles down.
27:03Five miles.
27:07What?
27:08We inside something?
27:13The whole system's gone down.
27:15Oh my god.
27:15Helmetown, everyone.
27:16Back us, you're kicking any second.
27:18Fish is a trap.
27:19They're going to kill us.
27:20For Christ's sake, Tex.
27:21Shut up.
27:23Well, that's it.
27:24That's backup.
27:29There's something at the hatch.
27:30It's them.
27:41They're breaking in.
27:42Breeze positions.
27:43Come on, come on, come on, come on.
28:06Who's going first?
28:07Is that cave?
28:20I don't know.
28:21Wait there.
28:22Oh, bloody hell.
28:41It's alive.
28:41Temperature's 21 degrees Celsius, which is impossible.
28:50Atmosphere is breathable, not just breathable.
28:52It's perfect.
28:56This place is incredible.
29:00You can come out now.
29:01Be careful.
29:02There's a drop.
29:02It's some kind of membrane.
29:11There's got to be billions of tons of water behind this.
29:20One tear in that membrane.
29:25Watch your step.
29:27The ground.
29:27The ground's uneven.
29:29If this is the ground.
29:36What the hell was that?
29:38Decontamination?
29:39Everyone okay?
29:42Okay.
29:42What is this place?
29:45It's like nothing in the world.
29:49It's like hell.
29:50Welcome.
30:04Where exactly are we?
30:07Deeper than any human has ever been.
30:13You can remove your apparatus.
30:16No, wait.
30:17This environment has been prepared for you.
30:20This environment has been prepared for you.
30:40Will you trust me, Barkley?
30:46Yeah.
30:50It's okay.
31:14It's okay.
31:18It's okay.
31:40The roof's leaking!
31:42There is no roof.
31:45What?
31:47But you are safe.
31:50I prefer to keep this going.
31:54As you wish.
32:07As you wish.
32:23It's fatigue.
32:26You're running on empty.
32:29All this pressure, it's taking its toll.
32:31Pretty soon you're gonna be of no use to anyone.
32:33I feel fine.
32:38After 48 hours, the brain and the body start to shut down.
32:42I've seen it happen and I'm watching it happen to you.
32:46If I reported you, you'd be escorted from the building.
32:48Except you wouldn't do that.
32:50The delegates are miles beneath the surface in radio silence for hours.
32:55There's nothing else you can do right now.
32:57But as soon as they're back, we need you on form.
33:00Rested and ready for whatever comes next.
33:02You're amazing.
33:10But you're not invincible.
33:21Either I take you home to rest or I report you.
33:24My apartment is a fully equipped comms hub for work from there.
33:30So, how is that light down here?
33:38Well, many deep sea organisms are bioluminescent.
33:41Bacteria, plankton, species of fish.
33:43So are we, uh, inside an organism, or...?
33:46I have no idea.
33:48This is impossible.
33:50Your world of steel and glass and sunlight is equally impossible to us.
33:57And is this... is this where you live?
33:59No.
34:01We are nomads.
34:03All of the oceans and waterways are our home.
34:08They are curious.
34:09That is all.
34:12So do you all live here, together, like all the species?
34:15There are the fish.
34:18There are the titans.
34:20The dolphins.
34:22And us.
34:24Huh, so that's, uh, looks like a hierarchy then, like a class system.
34:29There are degrees of intellect.
34:32Do not assume we think as one.
34:38Sorry, sorry.
34:40I, I, I just, uh...
34:44This is a lot, I...
34:47Here.
34:49Hold on to me.
34:50Come on, come on.
34:51Keep moving, keep moving.
34:54Come on.
35:03Hang on.
35:03Where are the others?
35:09Have the wolves moved?
35:15It's just you.
35:17And me.
35:17I feel like I know you.
35:25I'm not gonna know you.
35:28I've known you forever.
35:31Is that weird?
35:32I understand.
35:45You're so warm.
35:53And rough.
36:01Can I, um...
36:04Can I touch you?
36:04What do you feel?
36:23Strength.
36:35And beauty.
36:35I don't know why you chose me...
36:41for any of this.
36:48The tides have drawn us together.
36:52The undercurrents pulling us closer.
36:58If you calm your mind,
37:01you'll feel their power.
37:11But your thoughts are noisy.
37:15Can you read them?
37:18Human emotions are so loud.
37:21We cannot help but listen.
37:30Your heart is racing.
37:34Yeah, I don't want to mess this up.
37:37Billions of people are counting on us.
37:41You have good intentions.
37:49We could make a difference, you and I.
37:53End the conflict between our species.
37:57Before it's too late.
38:04Yeah.
38:04Berkeley.
38:12We thugged last year.
38:15Are you all right?
38:18Yeah.
38:19We are assembled.
38:34Oh, my God.
38:48Do not be afraid.
38:50This is how it felt for you.
38:53Missing us.
39:07Oh, my God.
39:11Oh, my God.
39:12Oh, my God.
39:14Oh, my God.
39:15Welcome to our Domain.
39:40They're down there, on their own, with no support.
39:45Do you think one day we won't need to keep us a secret anymore?
39:52I don't know.
39:54I'm sick of hiding it. Pretending. Worrying about being transferred to God knows where.
40:01Alaska?
40:02You find it so easy.
40:06The future of the human race pivots on what happens tonight. We don't matter.
40:13How can you be thinking about us?
40:17I think about us all the time.
40:24Can't you not be Commander-in-Chief just for a few hours?
40:28I don't know how.
40:34Leave it.
40:40Shirley, hi. Any news from the delegates?
40:42No. All quiet. So I ran some intel on the people in that Cobra meeting.
40:46Thanks.
40:47I think I found something. A repeated word in diplomatic communications.
40:53Does the word severance mean anything to you?
40:55No.
40:56It's never appeared before. Now it's been used 14 times in the last two days.
41:01Coded messages going back and forth. Severance. Severance. Severance.
41:05Kate?
41:10Kate?
41:15Kate?
41:19Kate?
41:32Kate.
41:33Kate?
41:35Kate, you there?
41:37Kate!
41:48This is for you.
