00:00If he has woken up, we would speak with him.
00:05We're putting an enormous amount of pressure on one man.
00:08Tissue samples.
00:10No one enemy.
00:11It'll be the death of the energy industry.
00:13Of 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!
00:25Oh my god!
00:26They cleaned 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, Sparkling, at the bottom of the ocean?
00:45Okay.
01:00controversies.
01:05Mark Emmert.
01:09The långers are in.
01:11Jesus.
01:13Guess what, what, what?
01:17estens 10 rookies.
01:19گ A hic.
01:21слож waves.
01:26Let's go, people. Welcome to Blackboard.
01:46We don't have much time, but we've appointed the best naval training personnel to prep us for the descent.
01:51They'll be doing everything they can to prime us both physically and mentally.
01:58Monitor our stamina, heart rate, and blood pressure. And help get us used to the water.
02:09We'll be descending to the rendezvous point in the submersible, to a depth of 8,000 meters, five miles down.
02:16Our journey will take two hours and 17 minutes.
02:20This submersible is currently on a launch vessel with warship escorts bound for the descent point.
02:31On the dive will be the ambassador, myself, Captain McKee for communications, myself for science and technology, and our two diplomatic representatives, Mr. Singh.
02:40And Ravi.
02:43And Mr. Campbell.
02:44Kate, it's a pleasure.
02:46Have we ever been this state before?
02:49Smaller missions of one or two people. Nothing of the scale.
02:53And I bet they were trained specialists with years of experience. We have days to prepare for this.
02:57Of course there's a risk. What we're doing today is unprecedented, but this is the toughest submersible on the planet.
03:05This is Kate Lethbridge-Stewart, a launch vessel. Captain Gates, how are we doing?
03:10Just finishing final checks.
03:13Pre-launch checks complete. Submersible ready for deployment.
03:16Things go wrong all the time.
03:17What if this brings a leak?
03:18That kind of pressure will be crushed to death, pulverized in an instant.
03:20Just keep your voice down.
03:21If you do this, you might never come back.
03:26Deepsea pressure compresses air-filled spaces in the body, leading to lung compression and potential...
03:42compresses air-filled spaces in the body,
03:44leading to lung compression and potential...
03:46Now, once we arrive at the descent point,
03:49Homo Aqua will transfer us to their environment.
03:52Well, what about the descent? Are they helping us with that?
03:55For the descent, we're on our own.
03:58We're not alone. We're never alone.
04:01Sorry?
04:03We're a team.
04:08Okay. Yeah.
04:12Just wait.
04:30Transferred by helicopters at O-600.
04:33Indemnity forms need signing and legal abnodate,
04:36you haven't replied to their emails.
04:39You do need to make sure your will is up to date.
05:04This is it then.
05:07Do I get a hug, Frogo?
05:10It might take weeks to clean the roads.
05:13The city's been shut down. You can't go anywhere.
05:16Yeah, well, it's lucky you're back here, isn't it?
05:18We're at war.
05:20I know. I'm going to sort it.
05:22How?
05:24How are you going to sort anything?
05:27Do 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, boot licker, bleeding heart puppet.
05:34Too thick to negotiate.
05:35That's not fair.
05:36It doesn't matter because either way we're screwed.
05:38Either they kill us or we kill ourselves.
05:42I hate the lot of you.
05:51They're worried sick about you.
05:53Yeah, 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 can do this.
06:07I mean, for God's sake, I nursed Mum through cancer, didn't I?
06:14Didn't I?
06:16Bloody hell, if I can get through that.
06:18Oh, I can get through anything, can't I?
06:20I can't be strong.
06:21I can't be strong.
06:23For everyone else.
06:24Right?
06:25Because everyone's counting on me.
06:29Okay?
06:30So, because it's the whole world.
06:39You don't have to be strong for me.
06:41I can do something else.
06:43I can do something else.
06:44Oh, I'm so scared.
06:46Oh, I'm so scared.
06:50I can do something else.
06:53I can do something else.
06:57I don't know.
06:58All right, that's it.
07:08Okay, now.
07:11What?
07:13Yeah.
07:13Yeah, sorry.
07:26Ravi?
07:27Hmm?
07:28You okay?
07:30I've been a diplomat for three months.
07:33Three months, I've...
07:34I'm not going down for this.
07:36Of course you are.
07:37You're going to come back a hero.
07:39You know that, right?
07:40This will set us up for life.
07:42Speaking tours, book deals, 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.
07:56Hold the line, Ted.
07:59That's what he'd say in moments like these.
08:00Moments of fear, of self-doubt.
08:04Believe in yourself, trust in fate, and hold the line.
08:07They get struck by lightning, dead of 50.
08:12Seriously?
08:19What's in the box?
08:20Diplomatic gift.
08:21From all nations.
08:29And 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 fazed by any of this?
08:46We're going to be fine.
08:47Boot floats.
08:48We're going to be fine.
09:18In the words of a great man,
09:37we can be heroes.
09:42Let's save the world.
09:43See all the hatch?
10:01Control to all units.
10:03We are clear.
10:04Confirm 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 that's been stable, sir.
11:12Over.
11:13Deployment is go.
11:15Control deck.
11:16Already 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.
11:46This 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.
12:11You're off.
12:11I don't know.
12:41Oh, how long's it been?
12:48Seven minutes.
12:50Gone dark already. No sunlight.
12:55Imagine living like this all the time.
12:58Anyway, we're fine, aren't we?
13:01Can I get a yes, Ted?
13:05Yes, Ted.
13:06I've got some team bonding work games, if anyone's interested.
13:13No, thank you.
13:24Where'd you end up here anyway?
13:25Oh, there was a diplomatic lottery for the last two seats, and, well, India won.
13:32Or lost, depending how you see it.
13:36There was rumours flying around that the draw was rigged,
13:45that most people had their names removed,
13:47because they didn't want to go hunt.
13:52I mean, one way to look at it is we're pioneers.
13:57Like those early astronauts, you know?
13:59Where would we be if they hadn't taken that one giant link?
14:02Oh, what the hell is that?
14:05He's adjusting to the pressure.
14:08Are you sure?
14:09It's okay, Ted. Just breathe.
14:10No, I'm breathing. I'm fine.
14:22What do you think we'll get for dinner?
14:24When 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.
14:32It's tough being a hero.
14:32Ha, ha, ha.
14:40Is this... Is this water?
14:46This is water?
14:48There is water in here!
14:49Right here on the ship!
14:50Ted, calm down. It's condensation.
14:52How the hell do you know?
14:54Because I read page six of the safety briefing.
15:04Yeah, sorry.
15:04I guess if there was a breach, this thing would implode before we knew about it.
15:13So...
15:14Can everyone just shut up now, please?
15:19The economy's already tanking.
15:37If we start closing shipping lanes, the effect could be catastrophic.
15:40No.
15:41Sorry, sir. Kate Lethbridge-Stewart.
15:44Okay.
15:44It is a directive of the United Nations that you need to have a voice in any emergency discussion.
15:49Sorry, we started a little early.
15:51A lot of people couldn't make it.
15:53Some of the Covenant are joining remotely.
15:55With respect.
15:56It's a phone call.
15:59I'll catch up.
16:00Please, carry on.
16:03The United States relies on maritime trade,
16:06and we will defend ourselves vigorously against any disruption to our networks.
16:12The U.S. military is arming itself with sonic weaponry.
16:16Sound cannons are used for crowd control,
16:18but we've adapted the technology for underwater use.
16:22We've identified key shipping lanes we need to protect.
16:26The English Channel, the Panama Canal, the Suez.
16:29Ultra-high-frequency blasts could disable or confuse Homo Aqua,
16:33paving the way for traditional weapons, if required.
16:37Sorry, why are we discussing weapons? Our focus is on diplomacy.
16:41And there is an armistice agreement in place now to stop further violence.
16:45Someone's got to be the first to break it.
16:47Sir, our focus should be on diplomacy.
16:48That's why six of our diplomats are risking their lives today.
16:51They're buying time.
16:52That's all they're doing.
16:53It's song and dance, smoke and mirrors.
16:55The gentleman's right.
16:58We make decisions.
16:59Here, in this room,
17:01the Western Front, the Falklands, Iraq.
17:04Wars are fought and won at this table.
17:06They think they own the water.
17:09But while they were splish-splashing around 300 million years ago,
17:12we crawled out of the water.
17:14Then we conquered it.
17:16We built a civilisation that depends on our oceans
17:19to power our homes, feed our crops, and keep us alive.
17:23Keep you in business.
17:25Sorry, but I agree with Kate.
17:27Their civilisation is so ancient and so powerful.
17:29Aren't they a gift?
17:31Couldn't they help solve not just the climate crisis,
17:34but so much more, if we had them on side?
17:38We're never going to get them on side.
17:40They want us gone.
17:41If they wanted us gone,
17:42I think that would have already happened.
17:44If they were gone,
17:45we could have access to their technology.
17:47Think of it.
17:48Treasure from the ocean floor.
17:49This is a diplomatic crisis, not a pirate ring.
17:52It's what the West does best.
17:54Colonise and plunder.
17:55I'm sorry, but I'm 60% water.
17:59We all are.
18:01Don't tell me we don't own the water.
18:03If Homo Aqua want a war between the land and the sea,
18:06we'll take the sea.
18:07So this kind of rhetoric is irresponsible.
18:10If you're trying to keep the peace, you've already failed.
18:16If you're not on side,
18:18we might have to reconsider our options.
18:21Diplomatic responsibility can easily be transferred.
18:23What to you?
18:25A global emergency committee could guide Homo Aqua
18:28through a peace process that puts mankind first,
18:30Sorry, what is Sir Keith doing in an emergency meeting?
18:34It is not cabinet or agency,
18:36and his companies at this very moment
18:38are still pumping millions of litres of sewage
18:41into our waterways.
18:42These processes take time.
18:43And don't get me started on General G. Sollier,
18:46who leaked confidential information to the press.
18:48I think you need to calm down, love.
18:49This is a national security matter.
18:51The fact is, we need industry and our allies on side.
18:59We can't do this alone.
19:21What's going to happen down there?
19:31Ravi, come on.
19:32We've already said we don't know.
19:34So what if this is a trick
19:35and they want hostages?
19:36We didn't take any hostages.
19:38Why should they?
19:39Because that's what happens in war.
19:40I promise you, we're going to sort this.
19:42Okay?
19:42I don't know how we will,
19:43but we will.
19:44Because my kid is not living through a war.
19:46I never had kids.
19:47If I get out of here,
19:50I'm going to call my brother.
19:52We haven't spoken for 20 years.
19:59Go for you.
20:02First thing I'm doing
20:03is taking my family out for the meal.
20:05All 19 of us.
20:0619?
20:08Yeah.
20:09Yeah, and I'm paying.
20:11Shit.
20:15It's so hot.
20:17All right, Ted.
20:22Come on.
20:22Come on, Ted.
20:22Don't think about that.
20:23I watched this show
20:24where they made a human
20:25out of pig parts,
20:26bones and meat,
20:28and they put it in a diving suit
20:30and they tested it
20:33for deep sea pressure.
20:34It just turned to soup
20:36in a split second.
20:38No one wants to hear this.
20:39I don't want to be soup.
20:44All right.
20:45Okay, it's okay.
20:45You're okay.
20:46Ted, come on.
20:47Come on.
20:47Look at me.
20:48Just breathe.
20:48Just breathe now.
20:49Breathe now, please, with me.
20:51Okay?
20:51Slow and steady.
20:52With me.
20:53Because we're a team, aren't we?
20:55Yeah?
20:55Okay.
21:12Well, all six delegates should now be descending to the ocean floor.
21:26Meanwhile, emergency crews continue to clear arterial roads through major...
21:44Can you turn that off, please?
21:46A few days ago, the situation was dire.
21:50We 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.
22:09I know you have a lot on your plate right now.
22:15Allison has tests today.
22:17She'll 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.
22:30When I became Prime Minister, I made a promise to my grandchildren to leave this country better than I found it.
22:43Sir, if we don't win this war, and war is what it is, there will be no grandchildren.
22:52But we believe there is a way through this.
22:56A new stratagem, just between us.
22:59We're calling it Sevens.
23:11I found some instant coffee.
23:15And biscuits.
23:19I won't ask you what you had to do for those.
23:22Yeah, let's not.
23:29They'll be okay.
23:32But you look exhausted.
23:34I've had six hours sleep in three days.
23:37This morning I showered in a sink.
23:40Sent good people five miles under the ocean.
23:42Then sat through a Cobra meeting with a room full of warmongers.
23:45You need a break.
23:49They want to shut Unit out.
23:50And if we lose control who steps in, who decides the future of the human race.
23:59Sorry.
24:00Submersible'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.
24:11They'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 they stopped.
24:50Are we on the seabed?
24:53Negative.
24:55This is SU-1 to service.
25:01Service, this is SU-1.
25:07Hello.
25:10Is anyone there?
25:16Oh, my God.
25:21We're open again.
25:25Captain, what's happening?
25:27We're moving at 12 knots.
25:2918 knots.
25:32These readings don't make sense.
25:34That's not possible.
25:3513 knots.
25:36Something's taking control.
25:40How are they moving so fast?
25:42Captain, what, are they being dragged?
25:47I think so.
25:47They're descending twice as fast.
25:49Steve, how's the pressure?
25:50Pressure's holding.
25:52We've lost cons.
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.
26:04On our own.
26:14Mom!
26:16What's happening?
26:17No, he's stopped.
26:47And the pressure on the hull is 1200 HPA.
26:51Wait, is that good or bad?
26:53Well, that's like sea level.
26:54That's the pressure on land, except we're five miles down.
26:58Five miles?
27:02What?
27:03Are we inside something?
27:09The whole system's gone down.
27:10Oh, my God.
27:11Helmetown, everyone.
27:12Back, I should kick in any second.
27:13Bitch, it's a trap. They're going to kill us.
27:15For crazy, Tex, shut up.
27:18Well, that's it.
27:19That's backup.
27:24There's something at the hatch.
27:25It's them.
27:36They're breaking in.
27:37Raise positions.
27:38Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead.
27:41Who's going first?
28:11Is 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.
29:06There's got to be billions of tons of water behind this.
29:15One tear in that membrane.
29:20Watch your step. The ground's uneven.
29:23If this is the ground.
29:28What the hell was that?
29:33Contamination? Everyone okay?
29:36Okay.
29:37What is this place?
29:39It's like nothing in the world.
29:44It's like hell.
29:50Welcome.
29:55Where exactly are we?
30:03Deeper than any human has ever been.
30:07You can remove your apparatus.
30:10No, wait.
30:12This environment has been prepared for you.
30:35Will you trust me?
30:36Will you trust me, Barkley?
30:37Yeah.
30:38Will you trust me, Barkley?
30:40Yeah.
30:41It's okay.
31:09The roof's leaking!
31:37There is no roof.
31:40What?
31:42But you are safe.
31:45I'd prefer to keep this going.
31:49As you wish.
32:07It's fatigue.
32:19You're running on empty.
32:22All this pressure, it's taking its toll.
32:26Pretty soon you're gonna be of no use to anyone.
32:28I feel fine.
32:32After 48 hours, the brain and the body start to shut down.
32:37I've seen it happen, and I'm watching it happen to you.
32:41If I reported you, you'd be escorted from the building.
32:43Except you wouldn't do that.
32:45The delegates are miles beneath the surface in radio silence for hours.
32:49There's nothing else you can do right now.
32:51But as soon as they're back, we need you on form.
32:54Rested and ready for whatever comes next.
32:57You're amazing.
33:03But you're not invincible.
33:06Either I take you home to rest, or I report you.
33:21My apartment is a fully equipped comms hub for work from there.
33:30So, how is that light down here?
33:32Well, many deep sea organisms are bioluminescent.
33:35Bacteria, plankton, species of fish.
33:38So are we inside an organism, or...?
33:42I 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.
33:55We are nomads.
33:57All of the oceans and waterways are our home.
34:03They 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 and us.
34:18Huh.
34:19So, it's like a hierarchy then, like a class system.
34:23There are degrees of intellect.
34:26Do not assume we think as one.
34:29Oh.
34:31Oh.
34:32Oh, sorry, sorry.
34:35I...
34:36I just, uh...
34:38This is...
34:40a lot, I...
34:42Here.
34:43Hold on to me.
34:44Come on.
34:45Come on.
34:46Keep moving.
34:47Keep moving.
34:48Come on.
34:57Hang on.
34:58Where are the others?
34:59Have the wolves moved?
35:00It's just you.
35:11And me.
35:12And me.
35:17I feel like I know you.
35:20I'm not gonna know you.
35:23I've known you forever.
35:26Is that weird?
35:27I understand.
35:29I understand.
35:45You're so warm.
35:47And rough.
35:48Can I, um...
35:58Can I touch you?
35:59Can I touch you?
36:01No.
36:14What do you feel?
36:16What do you feel?
36:21Strength.
36:22Strength.
36:28And beauty.
36:33I don't know why you chose me for any of this.
36:42The tides have drawn us together.
36:46The undercurrents pulling us closer.
36:52If you calm your mind,
36:56you'll feel their power.
37:06But your thoughts are noisy.
37:10Can you read them?
37:13Human emotions are so loud.
37:16We cannot help but listen.
37:23Your heart is racing.
37:28Yeah, I don't want to mess you up.
37:31Billions of people are counting on us.
37:36You have good intentions.
37:37We could make a difference, you and I.
37:46End the conflict between our species.
37:50Before it's too late.
37:52Before it's too late.
37:58Yeah.
38:02Berkeley!
38:06We suckling last year.
38:09Are you alright?
38:11Yeah.
38:13We are assembled.
38:14We are assembled.
38:15We are assembled.
38:17We are filled.
38:21We are now.
38:24We are now.
38:25We are now.
38:27Yeah.
38:29We are now.
38:31We are now.
38:33We are.
38:35We are now.
38:37Oh my God.
38:38Do not be afraid this is how I feel for you
39:08Welcome to our domain
39:35They're down there on their own
39:37With no support
39:40Do 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
39:52Worrying about being transferred to God knows where
39:56Alaska
39:57You find it so easy
40:00The future of the human race pivots on what happens tonight
40:06We don't matter
40:07How can you be thinking about us?
40:13I think about us all the time
40:14Can't you not be commander in chief?
40:22Just for a few hours
40:23I don't know how
40:27Leave it
40:31Shirley, hi, any news from the delegates?
40:37No, all quiet
40:39So I ran some intel on the people in that Cobra meeting
40:42Thanks
40:42I think I found something
40:44A repeated word in diplomatic communications
40:47Does the word severance mean anything to you?
40:51No
40:51It's never appeared before
40:53Now it's been used 14 times in the last two days
40:55Coded messages going back and forth
40:58Severance
40:59Severance
