00:00If he was 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, of your livelihood.
00:14We'll be sliding into recession.
00:16We can't 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're cleaning 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.
00:39Hermann's Trench, one of the deepest waterways on the planet.
00:42Will you meet us, Sparkling, at the bottom of the ocean?
00:45Okay.
01:00Alright.
01:01Let's go.
01:02Where are we?
01:03A Boringis sometimes.
01:04There is a region cast.
01:05Where are you?
01:06Can you do exactly where the world
01:08that creeps them out from Bristol?
01:09Get back toAKE!
01:10Get correr is found!
01:11A
01:21AreTON AGES!
01:23Let's go, people. Welcome to Blackport.
01:46We don't have much time, but we've appointed the best naval training personnel to prep us for the descent.
01:53We'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.
02:09We'll be descending to the rendezvous point in the submersible, to a depth of 8,000 meters, five miles down.
02:17Our journey will take two hours and 17 minutes.
02:19The submersible is currently on a launch vessel with warship escorts, bound for the descent point.
02:25And I will be the ambassador, myself, Captain Mackey for communications, myself for science and technology, and our two diplomatic representatives, Mr. Singh.
02:41And Ravi.
02:43And Mr. Campbell.
02:45Ted, it's a pleasure.
02:46Have we ever been this state before?
02:50Smaller missions of one or two people.
02:52Nothing of the scale.
02:54And I bet they were trained specialists with years of experience.
02:57We have days to prepare for this.
02:58Yeah, of 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 Lethbridge-Stewart to launch vessel.
03:10Captain Gates, how are we doing?
03:11Just finishing final checks.
03:25Pre-launch checks 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, pulverized in an instant.
03:36Don't just get your voice 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...
03:47Now, once 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?
03:56For the descent, we're on our own.
03:59We're not alone.
04:01We're never alone.
04:02Sorry?
04:03We're a team.
04:09I'll kill you.
04:10Yeah.
04:10Transferred 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.
04:44This is it, then.
05:06Do I get a hug, Frogo?
05:09It might take weeks to clean the roads.
05:12The city's been shut down. You can't go anywhere.
05:15Yeah, well, it's lucky you're back here, isn't it?
05:18We're at war.
05:19I know. I'm going to sort it.
05:21How?
05:22How are you going to sort anything?
05:25Do you know what they're calling you on TikTok?
05:26Oh, I don't really care.
05:27They're saying you're a useless, traitor, bootlicker, bleeding heart puppet, too thick to negotiate.
05:32That's not fair.
05:33It doesn't matter, because either way we're screwed. Either they kill us, or we kill ourselves. I hate the lot of you.
05:44They're worried sick about you.
05:54Yeah, I know.
05:55I'm sorry, but I promise you I'm going to be fine. No, no, no, no, no. Please, please, please don't.
06:03I've got this, okay? I can do this. I mean, for God's sake, I nursed Mum through cancer, didn't I? Didn't I? Bloody 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? Because everyone's counting to me. Okay? So, because it's the whole world.
06:39You don't have to be strong for me.
06:45Oh, I'm so scared.
06:52You don't have to be strong for me.
06:55I'm so scared.
07:07What? Okay now.
07:11What?
07:13Yeah. Yeah, sorry.
07:22Ravi?
07:24You okay?
07:26I've been a diplomat for three months. Three months, I've... I'm not gone down for this.
07:35Of course you are. You're going to come back a hero. You know that, right?
07:40This will set us up for life. Speaking tours, book deals, the works. You think I'll get a girlfriend out of it?
07:47They're going to be queuing up, mate.
07:50What you've got to do is hang in there.
07:53You know, sometimes I can hear my life coach. Hold the line, Ted.
07:58That's what he'd say in moments like these. Moments of fear, of self-doubt.
08:03Believe in yourself, trust in fate, and hold the line.
08:09I get struck by a lightning, dead of 50.
08:11Seriously?
08:13What's in the box?
08:16Diplomatic gift.
08:20From all nations.
08:22And what are Homo aqua supposed to do with the globe?
08:25They see the world from underneath, right? From the depths.
08:27Never like this.
08:29Where are they going to put it, Ted?
08:31Who knows?
08:33Maybe they've got, like...
08:34Coral mantelpieces.
08:35Aren't you fazed by any of this?
08:37We're going to be fine.
08:39Boot floats.
08:40Sunday night.
08:41Never like theyi.
08:43Turn up.
08:44We eat too Pakkilo.
08:45Maybe they've got, like...
08:47Coral mantelpieces.
08:49Aren't you fazed by any of this?
08:50We're going to be fine.
08:52Boot floats.
10:24Confirm lock.
10:26Captain Gates handing control over to you.
10:28Okay, let's pick it up.
10:39Let'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 looking stable, sir.
11:12Over.
11:13Deployment is go.
11:15Control deck.
11:16Already stable.
11:18We are good to go.
11:19Over.
11:23You're okay, dude.
11:25Isn't that terrific?
11:26Yep.
11:26Gently.
11:33Prepare for release.
11:45This is it.
11:47On my mark.
11:51In three.
11:53Two.
11:55One.
11:57Mark.
11:57Mark.
11:57And we're off.
12:11And we're off.
12:11We're off.
12:18Oh, how long has it been?
12:46Seven minutes
12:49Gone dark already
12:51No sunlight
12:53Oh, imagine living like this all the time
12:57Anyway, 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
13:11If anyone's interested
13:13No, thank you
13:15Where'd you end up here anyway?
13:26Oh, there was a diplomatic lottery for the last two seats
13:30And India won
13:32Or lost, depending how you see it
13:35There was rumours flying around
13:43That the draw was rigged
13:45That most people had their names removed
13:47Because they didn't want to go hunt
13:50I mean, one way to look at it
13:54Is we're pioneers
13:56Like those early astronauts
13:59You know, where would we be
14:00If they hadn't taken that one giant link?
14:02Oh, what the hell is that?
14:05It's adjusting to the pressure
14:07Are 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?
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
14:33Ted, 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
15:12This thing would implode before we knew about it
15:14Can everyone just
15:18Shut up now, please
15:26The economy's already tanking
15:37If we start closing shipping lanes
15:38The effect could be catastrophic
15:40No
15:40Sorry, sir
15:42Kate Lethbridge-Stewart
15:43Okay
15:44It is a directive of the United Nations
15:46That you need to have a voice
15:47In any emergency discussions
15:49Sorry, we started a little early
15:51A lot of people couldn't make it
15:53Some of the Covenant are joining remotely
15:54With respect
15:56It's a phone call
15:57I'll catch up
16:00Please
16:01Carry on
16:01The United States relies on maritime trade
16:06And we will defend ourselves vigorously
16:08Against any disruption to our networks
16:11The US 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
16:25The English Channel, the Panama Canal, the Suez
16:28Ultra-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?
16:39Our focus is on diplomacy
16:40And 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
16:56We make decisions
16:59Here in this room
17:00Western front of 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
17:12We crawled out of the water
17:13And we conquered it
17:15We built a civilisation that depends on our oceans
17:19To power our homes, feed our crops
17:22And keep us alive
17:23Keep you in business
17:24Sorry, but I agree with Kate
17:26Their 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
17:35If we had them on side
17:38We're never going to get them on side
17:39They 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
17:47Treasure from the ocean floor
17:49This is a diplomatic crisis
17:50Not a pirate raid
17:52It's what the West does best
17:53Colonise and plunder
17:55I'm sorry, but
17:56I'm 60% water
17:58We all are
17:59Don'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
18:09If you're trying to keep the peace
18:11You've already failed
18:12If you're not on side
18:17We might have to reconsider our options
18:20Diplomatic 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 Jusollier
18:45Who 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
18:54We can't do this alone
19:01We can't do this alone
19:01What's going to happen?
19:31I'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?
19:38Because that's what happened 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.
19:51We haven't spoken for 20 years.
19:54Good for you.
20:00First thing I'm doing is taking my family out for the meal.
20:04All 19 of us.
20:0619?
20:07Yeah.
20:08Yeah, and I'm paying.
20:10And I'm paying.
20:15It's so hot.
20:17This suit.
20:20How deep are we?
20:21All right, Ted. Come on.
20:22Come on, Ted. Don't think about that.
20:23I watched this show where they made a human out of pig parts.
20:26Bones and meat.
20:28And they put it in a diving suit.
20:30And they tested it for deep sea pressure.
20:34Mr. Campbell.
20:35It just turned to suit in a split second.
20:37Okay, Ted, Ted.
20:38No one wants to hear this.
20:39And I don't want to be suit.
20:44All right. Okay. It's okay.
20:45You're okay.
20:46Ted, come on. Come on.
20:47Look at me.
20:48Just breathe. Just breathe now.
20:49Breathe now, please, with me.
20:50Okay?
20:51Slow and steady.
20:52With me.
20:53Because we're a team, aren't we?
20:55Yeah?
20:56Okay.
21:28Well, all six delegates should now be descending to the ocean floor.
21:41Meanwhile, emergency crews continue to clear arterial roads through major...
21:45Can you turn that off, please?
21:47A 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.
21:56We 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.
22:15Alison has tests today.
22:18She'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.
22:29Take 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.
22:53But we believe there is a way through this.
22:56A new stratagem just between us.
23:00We're calling it Sevens.
23:01I found some instant coffee.
23:15And...
23:18Biscuits.
23:20I won't ask you what you had to do for those.
23:23Yeah, let's not.
23:24They'll be okay.
23:31But 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 and sat through a Coburn meeting with a rumful of warmongers.
23:45You need a break.
23:49They want a shut unit out.
23:50And if we lose control, who steps in?
23:54Who decides the future of the human race?
23:59Sorry, 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.
24:11They're off the maps now.
24:14This will be the longest night of our lives.
24:20No!
24:22No.
24:26No.
24:29No!
24:30No!
24:31No!
24:32What's that! What's happened?
24:35I think they stopped.
24:38What's that! What's happened?
24:40What's that? What's happened?
24:48I think they stopped.
24:50Are we... are we on a seatbelt?
24:54Negative.
24:56This is SU-1 to service.
25:02Service, this is SU-1.
25:08Hello.
25:11Is anyone there?
25:18Oh, my God.
25:21We're not even again.
25:25But, Captain, what's happening?
25:27We're moving at 12 knots. 18 knots.
25:32These readings don't make sense.
25:34That's not possible.
25:3513 knots. Something's taking control.
25:37No.
25:41How are they moving so fast?
25:44Captain!
25:45Are they being dragged?
25:46I think so.
25:47They're descending twice as fast.
25:49Steve, how's the pressure?
25:50Pressure's 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.
26:02And we're just...
26:03We're going to go off.
26:06On our own.
26:15Oh!
26:16The doors happening!
26:17What's happening?
26:19What's happening?
26:20We've stopped.
26:45and the pressure on the hull is 1200 hpa wait is that is that good or bad well that's like

36:43The tides have drawn us together.
36:47The undercurrents pulling us closer.
36:52If you calm your mind...
36:55...you'll feel their power.
37:05But your thoughts are noisy.
37:09Can you read them?
37:12Human emotions are so loud.
37:15We cannot help but listen.
37:25Your heart is racing.
37:28Yeah, I don't want to mess this up.
37:31Billions of people are counting on us.
37:36You have good intentions.
37:38We could make a difference, you and I.
37:46End the conflict between our species...

38:58Welcome to our domain.
39:28They're down there, on their own, with no support.
39:41Do you think one day we won't need to keep us a secret anymore?
39:47I don't know.
39:49I'm sick of hiding it. Pretending. Worrying about being transferred to God knows where.
39:56You find it so easy.
40:03The future of the human race pivots on what happens tonight. We don't matter.
40:09How can you be thinking about us?
40:12I think about us all the time.
40:18Can't you not be Commander-in-Chief just for a few hours?
40:25I don't know how.
40:30Leave it.
40:35Shirley hi, any news from the delegates?
40:37No. All quiet. So I ran some intel on the people in that Cobra meeting.
40:41Thanks.
40:42I think I found something. A repeated word in diplomatic communications.
40:46Does the word severance mean anything to you?
40:50No.
40:51It's never appeared before. Now it's been used 14 times in the last two days.
40:55Colded messages going back and forth. Severance. Severance. Severance.
