00:00Woken up, we would speak with him.
00:04We're putting an enormous amount of pressure on one man.
00:08Tissue samples. No one enemy.
00:11It'll be the death of the energy industry, of your livelihood.
00:14We'll be sliding into recession.
00:16We cannot hear, or see, or breathe.
00:19So tell me why we should live like this for just one day longer.
00:24Mum! Oh my God!
00:26The clean up the ocean, the pressure, the pollution, all of it, they're giving it back.
00:30All across Manhattan, the sky is raining plastic.
00:34They're declaring war.
00:35Our next meeting will be here.
00:39Roman's Trench, one of the deepest waterways on the planet.
00:42Will you meet us, Barkley, at the bottom of the ocean?
00:45Okay.
01:00Oh my God!
01:20Oh my God!
01:21Oh my God!
01:21Let's go, people. Welcome to Blackboard.
01:43We don't have much time, but we've appointed the best naval training personnel to prep us for the descent.
01:53They'll be doing everything they can to prime us both physically and mentally.
01:59Monitor our stamina, heart rate, and blood pressure.
02:03And help get us used to the water.
02:05We'll be descending to the rendezvous point of the submersible to a depth of 8,000 meters, five miles down.
02:17Our journey will take two hours and 17 minutes.
02:21The submersible is currently on a launch vessel with warship escorts bound to the descent point.
02:25On the dive will be the ambassador, myself, Captain McKee for communications, myself for the science and technology,
02:38and our two diplomatic representatives, Mr. Singh and Ravi, and Mr. Campbell.
02:45Ted, it's a pleasure.
02:47Have we ever been this state before?
02:50Smaller missions of one or two people, nothing of the scale.
02:53And I bet they were trained specialists with years of experience.
02:57We have days to prepare for this.
02:58Of course there's a risk.
03:00What we're doing today is unprecedented, but this is the toughest submersible on the planet.
03:06This is Kate Letherbridge-Stewart, a launch vessel.
03:10Captain Gates, how are we doing?
03:13Just finishing final checks.
03:14Come on, come on, come on.
03:16Come on, come on.
03:17Come on, come on.
03:19Come on.
03:21Come on.
03:21Come on, come on.
03:23Come on, come on, come on.
03:25Pre-launch check is complete.
03:26Submersible ready for deployment.
03:29Things go wrong all the time.
03:31What if this brings a leak?
03:32That kind of pressure will be crushed to death, horrorized in an instant.
03:35Get your forest down.
03:39If you do this, you might never come back.
03:42Deep-sea pressure compresses air-filled spaces in the body, leading to lung compression and potential...
03:47Once we arrive at the descent point, Homo aqua will transfer us to their environment.
03:53Well, what about the descent? Are they helping us with that?
03:56Of the descent, we're on our own.
03:59We're not alone.
04:01We're never alone.
04:02Sorry?
04:04We're a team.
04:04Okay.
04:09Yeah.
04:10Yeah.
04:31Transfer by helicopters at 0600.
04:34Indemnity forms need signing and legal have noted you haven't replied to their emails.
04:41You do need to make sure your will is up to date.
04:43What's this, is it then?
05:05Do I get a hug before I go?
05:10It might take weeks to clean the roads.
05:14City's been shut down.
05:15You can't go anywhere.
05:17Yeah, well, it's lucky you're back here, then.
05:19We're at war.
05:20I know.
05:21I'm going to sort it.
05:22How?
05:23How are you going to sort anything?
05:28Do you know what they're calling you on TikTok?
05:29Oh, I don't really care.
05:30They're saying you're a useless, traitor, bootlicker, bleeding heart puppet, too thick to negotiate.
05:36That's not fair.
05:37It doesn't matter, because either way, we're screwed.
05:39Either they kill us, or we kill ourselves.
05:42They hate the lot of you.
05:53They're worried sick about you.
05:54Yeah, I know.
05:56I'm sorry, but I promise you I'm going to be fine.
05:58No, no, no, no, no.
05:59Please, please, please don't.
06:04Got this?
06:05Okay?
06:06I mean, I can do this.
06:09I mean, for God's sake, I nursed Mum through cancer, didn't I?
06:15Didn't I?
06:17Bloody hell, if I can get through that, oh, I can get through anything, can't I?
06:22I've got to be strong for everyone else, right?
06:26Because everyone's counting on me.
06:29Okay?
06:31So, McCurvy's the whole world.
06:36You don't have to be strong for me.
06:45Oh, I'm so scared.
06:55I'm so scared.
06:57I'm so scared.
06:57I'm so scared.
06:57I'm so scared.
06:58I'm so scared.
07:06All right, that's it.
07:08Okay, now.
07:11All right?
07:13Yeah?
07:13Yeah, sorry.
07:14Ravi?
07:26Ravi?
07:27Hmm?
07:28You okay?
07:29Mm-mm.
07:30I've been a diplomat for three months.
07:32Three months, I've...
07:33I've not gone down for this.
07:36Of course you are.
07:37You're going to come back a hero.
07:38You know that, right?
07:40This will set us up for life.
07:42Speaking tours, book deals, the works.
07:46You think I'll get a girlfriend out of it?
07:48They're going to be queuing up, mate.
07:50All you've got to do is hang in there.
07:54You know, sometimes I can hear my life coach.
07:57Hold the line, Ted.
07:58That's what he'd say in moments like these.
08:00Moments of fear, of self-doubt.
08:03Believe in yourself, trust in fate, and hold the line.
08:09I get struck by lightning, dead at 50.
08:12Seriously?
08:19What's in the box?
08:21Diplomatic gift.
08:24From all nations.
08:26And what are Homo aqua supposed to do with the globe?
08:32They see the world from underneath, right?
08:34From the depths.
08:36Never like this.
08:37Where are they going to put it, Ted?
08:38Who knows?
08:40Maybe they've got, like, coral mantelpieces.
08:43Aren't you phased by any of this?
08:46We're going to be fine.
08:48Boot floats.
08:48We're going to be fine.
09:18In the words of a great man,
09:38we can be heroes.
09:42Let's save the world.
09:48See all the hatch.
10:01Control to all units.
10:03We are clear.
10:04We are clear.
10:05Confirm lock.
10:26Captain Gates handing control over to you.
10:28Okay, let's pick it up.
10:29Let's move it out.
10:41Taking you off the ship now.
10:42Good luck, everybody.
10:43Good luck to you all.
10:44That's all of these cables, sir.
11:12Over.
11:13Deployment is go.
11:15Control on deck.
11:16Already in the stable.
11:18We are good to go.
11:19Over.
11:22You're okay, Ted.
11:25Isn't that terrific?
11:26Yep.
11:31Ten B.
11:33Prepare for release.
11:44This is it.
11:49On my mark.
11:51In three.
11:53Two.
11:55One.
11:57Mark.
11:57And we're off.
12:11And we're off.
12:11Two.
12:23What?
12:23Oh, how long has it been?
12:47Seven minutes.
12:50Gone dark already.
12:52No sunlight.
12:54Oh, imagine living like this all the time.
12:58Anyway, we're fine, aren't we?
13:01Can I get a yes, Ted?
13:05Yes, Ted.
13:09I've got some team bonding work games, if anyone's interested.
13:13No, thank you.
13:14Where'd you end up here anyway?
13:25Oh, there was a diplomatic lottery for the last two seats, and India won, or lost, depending
13:34how you see it.
13:35There was rumors flying around that the draw was rigged, that most people had their names
13:47removed, because they didn't want to go hunt.
13:50I mean, one way to look at it, is we're pioneers, like those early astronauts, you know?
13:59Where would we be if they hadn't taken that one giant link?
14:02Oh, the hell is that?
14:05He's adjusting to the pressure.
14:07Are you sure?
14:08Are you sure?
14:09It's okay, Ted.
14:10Just breathe.
14:11No, I'm breathing.
14:12I'm fine.
14:13What do you think we'll get for dinner, when we're back on the ship tonight, hmm?
14:26Think they'll spoil us?
14:27They bloody should.
14:28No.
14:29It'll just be canteen sandwiches again.
14:31It's tough being a hero.
14:40Is this water?
14:43There is water in here, right here on the ship.
14:49Ted, calm down.
14:50Ted, calm down.
14:51It's condensation.
14:52How the hell do you know?
14:54Because I read page six of the safety briefing.
14:56Yeah, sorry.
15:05I guess if there was a breach, this thing would implode before we know it.
15:10I guess if there was a breach, this thing would implode before we know about it.
15:16Could everyone just shut up now, please?
15:19Oh!
15:20The economy's already tanking.
15:21If we start closing shipping lanes, the effect could be catastrophic.
15:26No.
15:27Sorry, sir.
15:28Kate Lethbridge-Stewart.
15:29Okay.
15:30It is a directive of the United Nations that you not have a voice in any emergency discussions.
15:36Sorry we started a little early.
15:37A lot of people couldn't make it.
15:38Some of the Covenant are joining remotely.
15:39With respect, it's a phone call.
15:40I'll catch up.
15:41Please, carry on.
15:42The United States relies on maritime trade, and we will defend ourselves vigorously against
15:43any disruption to our networks.
15:45The United States relies on maritime trade, and we will defend ourselves vigorously against
15:49any disruption to our networks.
15:50The U.S. military is arming itself with sonic weaponry.
15:57Sound cannons are used for crowd control, but we've adapted the technology for underwater
15:58use.
15:59We've identified key shipping lanes we need to protect.
16:00The English Channel, the Panama Canal, the Panama Canal, the Panama Canal, and the
16:03Suez.
16:04Ultra-high-frequency blasts could disable or confuse Homo Aqua.
16:07Payment, the U.S. military is the U.S. military.
16:10The United States relies on maritime trade, and we will defend ourselves vigorously against
16:12any disruption to our networks.
16:13The U.S. military is arming itself with sonic weaponry.
16:16Sound cannons are used for crowd control, but we've adapted the technology for underwater
16:21use.
16:22We've identified key shipping lanes we need to protect.
16:25The English Channel, the Panama Canal, the Suez.
16:28Ultra-high frequency blasts could disable or confuse Homo Aqua.
16:32Paving the way for traditional weapons, if required.
16:36Sorry, why are we discussing weapons?
16:38Our focus is on diplomacy.
16:39And there is an armistice agreement in place now to stop further violence.
16:44Someone's gotta be the first to break it.
16:46Sir, our focus should be on diplomacy.
16:48That's why six of our diplomats are risking their lives today.
16:50They're buying time.
16:51That's all they're doing.
16:52It's song and dance, smoke and mirrors.
16:54The General's right.
16:57We make decisions.
16:58Here, in this room.
17:00The Western Front, the Falklands.
17:02Iraq.
17:03Wars are fought and won at this table.
17:06They think they own the water.
17:08But while they were splish splashing around 300 million years ago, we crawled out of the
17:12water.
17:13Then we conquered it.
17:15We built a civilization that depends on our oceans to power our homes, feed our crops,
17:21and keep us alive.
17:22Keep you in business.
17:24Sorry, but I agree with Kate.
17:26Their civilization is so ancient and so powerful.
17:28Aren't they a gift?
17:30Couldn't they help solve not just the climate crisis, but so much more?
17:34If we had them on side.
17:37We're never going to get them on side.
17:39They want us gone.
17:40If they wanted us gone, I think that would have already happened.
17:43If they were gone, we could have access to their technology.
17:46Think of it.
17:47Treasure from the ocean floor.
17:48This is a diplomatic crisis, not a pirate raid.
17:51It's what the West does best.
17:53Colonize and plunder.
17:54I'm sorry, but I'm 60% water.
17:58We all are.
18:00Don't tell me we don't own the water.
18:03If Homo Aqua want a war between the land and the sea, we'll take the sea.
18:07So this kind of rhetoric is irresponsible.
18:09If you're trying to keep the peace, you've already failed.
18:15If you're not on side, we might have to reconsider our options.
18:20Diplomatic responsibility can easily be transferred.
18:23To you.
18:24A global emergency committee could guide Homo Aqua through a peace process that puts mankind first.
18:29Sorry.
18:30Not you.
18:31What is Sir Keith doing in an emergency meeting?
18:33It is not cabinet or agency, and his companies at this very moment are still pumping millions of litres of sewage into our waterways.
18:41These processes take time.
18:42And don't get me started on General Gisollier, who leaked confidential information to the press.
18:47I think you need to calm down, love.
18:48This is a national security matter.
18:50The fact is, we need industry and our allies on side.
18:59We can't do this alone.
19:00Não, essentially.
19:01I think we need help the rest.
19:03What's going to happen down there?
19:31Ravi, come on. We've already said we don't know.
19:33So what if this is a trick and they want hostages?
19:36We didn't take any hostages. Why should they?
19:39Because that's what happens in war.
19:40I promise you, we're going to sort this.
19:42I don't know how we will, but we will.
19:44Because my kid is not living through a war.
19:46I never had kids.
19:48If I get out of here, I'm going to call my brother.
19:52We haven't spoken for 20 years.
19:59Good for you.
20:01First thing I'm doing is taking my family out for the meal.
20:05All 19 of us.
20:0619?
20:08Yeah. Yeah. And I'm paying.
20:11Shit.
20:14It's so hot.
20:17This suit.
20:20How deep are we?
20:21All right, Ted. Come on. Come on, Ted. Don't think about that.
20:23I watched this show where they made a human out of pig parts.
20:26Buns and meat.
20:28And they put it in a diving suit.
20:31And they tested it for deep sea pressure.
20:34Mr. Campbell.
20:35It just turned to soup in a split second.
20:37Okay, Ted.
20:38No one wants to hear this.
20:40I don't want to be soup.
20:41All right. Okay. It's okay.
20:45You're okay.
20:46Ted, come on. Come on.
20:47Look at me. Just breathe. Just breathe now. Breathe now.
20:49Please. With me.
20:51Okay?
20:51Slow and steady.
20:52With me.
20:53Because we're a team, aren't we?
20:55Yeah?
20:55Okay.
21:26Can you turn that off, please?
21:46A few days ago, the situation was dire.
21:51We were staring down the barrel of unprecedented financial and energy crises.
21:55Now it's catastrophic.
21:57We cannot surrender control of this planet.
21:59Look what they did to us in 15 minutes.
22:01If they wanted to, they could wipe us out.
22:03Unit are looking after their own interests.
22:06It is our moral duty to stop Aquakine however we can.
22:11Harry.
22:13I know you have a lot on your plate right now.
22:14Alison has tests today.
22:16You should be with her.
22:20I already know you value my opinion.
22:23And maybe my money.
22:24The generals have decades of military strategy under their belts.
22:28Let us guide you.
22:30Take the pressure off.
22:36When I became prime minister,
22:39I made a promise to my grandchildren to leave this country better than I found it.
22:43Sir.
22:44If we don't win this war, and war is what it is,
22:48there will be no grand tour.
22:52But we believe there is a way through this.
22:56A new stratagem.
22:58Just between us.
22:59We're calling it sevens.
23:00We're calling it sevens.
23:11I found some instant coffee.
23:15And biscuits.
23:17I won't ask you what you had to do for this.
23:21Yeah, let's not.
23:29They'll be okay.
23:32But you look exhausted.
23:33I've had six hours sleep in three days.
23:38This morning I showered in a sink.
23:40Sent good people five miles under the ocean,
23:42then sat through a Cobra meeting with a rumful of warmongers.
23:45You need a break.
23:46They want to shut you, no doubt.
23:51And if we lose control, who steps in?
23:54Who decides the future of the human race?
23:56Sorry, submersible's entering the deepest part of the trench.
24:02Yeah.
24:04Get me, Captain Gates.
24:05I want a situation report ASAP.
24:09This is uncharted territory.
24:11You're off the maps now.
24:12This will be the longest night of our lives.
24:16What's that?
24:42What's happened?
24:46I think we've stopped.
24:50Are we on the seabed?
24:53Negative.
24:55This is SU-1 to surface.
25:01Surface, this is SU-1.
25:07Hello.
25:10Is anyone there?
25:16Oh, my God.
25:21We're moving again.
25:25But, Captain, what's happening?
25:27We're moving at 12 knots.
25:2918 knots.
25:31These readings don't make sense.
25:34That's not possible.
25:3513 knots.
25:36Something's taking control.
25:37How are they moving so fast?
25:42Captain, are they being dragged?
25:47I think so.
25:47They're descending twice as fast.
25:49Steve, how's the pressure?
25:50Pressure is holding.
25:52We've lost comms.
25:53Ping the transponder.
25:54No response.
25:56Okay, do you feel that?
25:57Do you feel like we're descending again?
25:58Why is there no radio content?
26:00Oxygen's normal.
26:01The cables are functioning.
26:02We're just...
26:03Cut off.
26:03On our own.
26:15What's happening?
26:17What's happening?
26:17We've stopped.
26:47And the pressure on the hull is 1,200 HPA.
26:51Wait, is that good or bad?
26:52Well, that's like sea level.
26:54That's the pressure on land, except we're five miles down.
26:58Five miles.
27:02What?
27:03We inside something?
27:08The whole system's gone down.
27:10Oh, my God.
27:10Oh, my God.
27:11I'm down, everyone.
27:11Back, I should kick in any second.
27:13This is a trap.
27:14That guy should kill us.
27:15For Christ's sake, Ted, shut up.
27:16Well, there's it.
27:19That's backup.
27:23There's something at the hatch.
27:25It's them.
27:36They're breaking in.
27:37Raise positions.
27:38Come on, come on, come on.
27:40Come on.
27:41Come on.
27:42Who's going first?
28:12Is there a cave?
28:15I don't know. Wait there.
28:18Oh, bloody hell.
28:36It's alive.
28:40Temperature's 21 degrees Celsius, which is impossible.
28:45The atmosphere is breathable, not just breathable, it's perfect.
28:51This place is incredible.
28:55You can come out now. Be careful. There's a drop.
29:02It's some kind of membrane.
29:07There'll be billions of tons of water behind this.
29:15One tear in that membrane.
29:20Watch your step. The ground's uneven.
29:24If this is the ground.
29:31What the hell was that?
29:33Decontamination?
29:34Everyone okay?
29:37Okay.
29:38What is this place?
29:40It's like nothing in the world.
29:44It's like hell.
29:50Welcome.
29:51Where exactly are we?
30:02Deeper than any human has ever been.
30:08You can remove your apparatus.
30:11No, wait.
30:12This environment has been prepared for you.
30:15It's like nothing.
30:36Will you trust me, Barkley?
30:40Ian.
30:41It's okay.
31:11The roof's leaking!
31:36There is no roof.
31:38What?
31:40I wish.
31:41But you are safe.
31:43I prefer to keep this going.
31:47As you wish.
31:54It's fatigue.
32:01You're running on empty.
32:08All this pressure, it's taking its toll.
32:10Pretty soon you're gonna be of no use to anyone.
32:11I feel fine.
32:17I feel fine.
32:18I feel fine.
32:19After 48 hours the brain and the body start to shut down.
32:26I've seen it happen and I'm watching it happen to you.
32:27If I reported you, you'd be escorted from the building.
32:28Except you wouldn't do that.
32:29Except you wouldn't do that.
32:30The delegates are miles beneath the surface in radio silence for hours.
32:36There's nothing else you can do right now.
32:37But as soon as they're back, we need you on form, rested and ready for whatever comes next.
32:44You're amazing.
32:45But you're not invincible.
32:46You're not invincible.
32:47Either I take you home to Redcar, or you will have to take you home to Redcar.
32:50I can't wait to hang you in the room, until you keep going.
32:55With the surface and radio silence for hours, you're really not going to be on the right
33:03on the right side.
33:04Yes, of course.
33:05You're amazing.
33:06But you're not invincible.
33:15Either I take you home to rest, or I report you.
33:21My apartment is a fully equipped comms hub. I'll work from there.
33:30So, how is that light down here?
33:32Well, many Dipsy organisms are bioluminescent. Bacteria, plankton, species of fish.
33:38So are we, uh, inside an organism, or...?
33:41I have no idea.
33:43This is impossible.
33:45Your world of steel and glass and sunlight is equally impossible to us.
33:51And is this...? Is this where you live?
33:54No. We are nomads.
33:57All of the oceans and waterways are our home.
34:02They are curious.
34:04That is all.
34:06So, do you all live here, together, like all the species?
34:10There are the fish.
34:12There are the titans.
34:14The dolphins.
34:16And us.
34:18Huh. So, that's, uh...
34:20It's like a hierarchy, then. Like a class system.
34:24There are degrees of intellect.
34:26Do not assume we think as one.
34:32Oh, sorry, sorry.
34:34I, uh...
34:36I just, uh...
34:38This is...
34:40a lot.
34:41I...
34:42Here.
34:43Hold on to me.
34:44Come on.
34:45Come on.
34:46Keep moving. Keep moving.
34:48Come on.
34:57Hang on.
34:58Where are the others?
34:59Have the wolves moved?
35:09It's just you.
35:11And me.
35:17I feel like I know you.
35:20Or I'm gonna know you.
35:23I haven't known you forever.
35:26Is that weird?
35:28I understand.
35:45You're so warm.
35:47And rough.
35:48Can I, um...
35:58Can I touch you?
35:59Can I touch you?
36:17What do you feel?
36:23Strength.
36:24And beauty.
36:34I don't know why you chose me...
36:37For any of this.
36:43The tides...
36:44Have drawn us together.
36:47The undercurrents...
36:49Pulling us closer.
36:51If you calm your mind...
36:56You'll feel their power.
37:06But your thoughts are noisy.
37:10Can you read them?
37:12Human emotions are so loud.
37:15We cannot help but listen.
37:24Your heart is racing.
37:26Yeah. I don't want to mess this up.
37:28Billions of people are counting on us.
37:29I don't want to mess this up.
37:31Billions of people are counting on us.
37:36You have good intentions.
37:44We could make a difference, you and I.
37:48End the conflict between our species.
37:52Before it's too late.
37:53Good night.
37:58Yeah.
38:03Berkeley.
38:07We thugged last year.
38:09Are you alright?
38:12Yeah.
38:14We are assembled.
38:23Oh, my God.
38:43Do not be afraid.
38:45This is how it felt for you.
38:47Missing us.
38:53Our lives.
38:54The vue of us.
38:56The end.
38:57It is the end.
38:59The end.
39:03We are far darüber oars.
39:05The end.
39:06The end.
39:09The end.
39:11The end.
39:13We are building Let's go over to the end.
39:15The end.
39:16The end.
39:18The end.
39:19Welcome to our domain.
39:35They're down there, on their own, with no support.
39:42Do you think one day we won't need to keep us a secret anymore?
39:48I don't know.
39:49I'm sick of hiding it.
39:51Pretending.
39:53Worrying about being transferred to God knows where.
39:56Alaska?
39:57You find it so easy.
40:02The future of the human race pivots on what happens tonight.
40:06We don't matter.
40:08How can you be thinking about us?
40:12I think about us all the time.
40:15Can't you not be Commander-in-Chief just for a few hours?
40:22I don't know how.
40:29Leave it.
40:31I don't know.
40:32I don't know.
40:33I don't know.
40:34I don't know.
40:35Shirley, hi.
40:36Any news from the delegates?
40:37No.
40:38All quiet.
40:39So I ran some intel on the people in that Cobra meeting.
40:41Thanks.
40:42I think I found something.
40:43A repeated word in diplomatic communications.
40:47Does the word severance mean anything to you?
40:50No.
40:51It's never appeared before.
40:52Now it's been used 14 times in the last two days.
40:55Coded messages going back and forth.
40:57Severance.
40:58Severance.
40:59Severance.
41:00Severance.
