00:01All over the world, humanity reacts to the simple fact
00:05the species that came before us was woken up.
00:08The Unified Intelligence Task Force was created to deal with alien life forms.
00:13I haven't got clearance. I'm brave, Tim.
00:15I work in transport. I'm a clerk.
00:17Almost!
00:19The first official meeting with Homo Aqua will begin here.
00:22My name is Kate Lethbridge-Stewart,
00:24Commander-in-Chief of the Unified Intelligence Task Force.
00:27And I hope this will be the start of a great endeavor to find peace.
00:32We have a gift for you, my children.
00:35But they choked on your oil and poison and excrement.
00:40I must state that we recognize the problems.
00:42You are not known to us. We would speak with him.
00:57The Unified Intelligence Task Force
01:02We are now on the
01:14The Unified Intelligence Task Force.
01:15The Unified Intelligence Task Force
01:18The Unified Intelligence Task Force
01:20With me, please, sir.
01:44I suggest that this, um, meeting is adjourned.
01:48While we, uh, follow me, while we regroup.
01:55His name's Barclay Pierre Dupont.
01:57He's a grade 10, works in logistics.
01:59Family.
02:00Ex-wife and teenage child.
02:01Bring them in, put them in an interview room.
02:03I want his file on my screen by the time I get downstairs.
02:08Kate Lethbridge-Stewart.
02:10Yeah, and now I'll book your taxes.
02:13Sit down.
02:15We weren't expecting this, obviously.
02:19Me either.
02:20So help me understand.
02:21Out of nearly eight billion humans on this planet,
02:24why do Homo Aqua want you as ambassador?
02:27I don't know.
02:28What communications have you had with Homo Aqua prior to today?
02:31None.
02:32Never.
02:33Never.
02:34I mean, I had a goldfish once.
02:36Is that relevant?
02:37This isn't a joke, Mr. Dupont.
02:38I'm not joking.
02:39He was called Simon.
02:42Right now, a team of experts are trawling through every detail of your private life.
02:47Every text message, every email, every photo, everyone you've ever met.
02:52Barclay-Pierre Dupont, born 15-11-82.
02:55Get me his immediate family.
02:56Yes, ma'am.
02:59Parents deceased.
03:00Married Barbara Numai, June 2003.
03:02Divorced November 2022.
03:03Split was amicable.
03:06Whatever he's done, we're not part of it.
03:07We're not even together.
03:12Tina's child, Kirby, 16, lives with the mother studying A-levels.
03:16Seize all devices and bring them in for questioning right now.
03:19My family have got nothing to do with this.
03:22They don't even know I'm here.
03:23I never asked for this to happen.
03:25Okay?
03:26But I do want to help.
03:29And the thing is...
03:32You need me.
03:34Am I right?
03:36Well...
03:37Am I right?
03:41The first day of H2O diplomacy has concluded with an abrupt change of ambassadors.
03:47Sir Jonathan Hines has made no comment over his dismissal.
03:51And the identity of the new ambassador has been suppressed.
03:55This man is the most important person on the planet.
03:58Don't we have a right to know who he is?
04:00We cannot allow a foreign species to dictate our diplomacy process.
04:05This is taken to us.
04:11Prime Minister.
04:12The H2O committee will not allow a random civilian to represent them.
04:15Kate, you're to go back in Mount Rum and tell her.
04:18We choose our ambassador and the committee's decision is final.
04:22I do it myself.
04:23But it doesn't look good, does it?
04:24If I'm the one you know when war breaks out.
04:26Not when you can blame you, Ned.
04:28Sorry.
04:29That's not what I meant.
04:32But maybe it's better woman to woman.
04:35If that's what she is. Is that what she is?
04:36No, I'm...
04:39Please, Kate.
04:40We're relying on you.
04:46Thank you for this unscheduled consultation.
04:50I am Kate Lethbridge-Stewart,
04:52Commander-in-Chief of the Unified Intelligence Task Force
04:55and representative of the H2O committee.
04:58The committee has requested urgent action regarding the role of human ambassador.
05:04Rather than appoint this civilian, they request that you trust in our original candidate.
05:11You talk of trust.
05:14While meeting in secret.
05:17In the dark.
05:18We would hear from the ambassador.
05:22Mr. DuPont is unprepared.
05:24We would hear from the ambassador.
05:40Come closer.
05:48Hello.
05:58Do you have a name?
06:00Is that a thing?
06:01Because...
06:03I'm Barclay.
06:04It's Scottish.
06:05Well, my...
06:06my grammar's...
06:08Scottish.
06:10My title will not translate.
06:13But you...
06:15may call me Salt.
06:16Salt.
06:17Salt?
06:21I...
06:24Listen.
06:25I'm just a regular guy.
06:27I work in an office.
06:28I don't know about diplomacy or politics.
06:30I don't even know about decent suit.
06:32We chose you for your humanity and compassion.
06:36Not your expertise.
06:38Your leaders would replace you.
06:41But what do you want?
06:43I'm...
06:44I'm fine with whatever they decide.
06:45No.
06:46What do you really think?
06:52Well, I think...
06:56This process is about everybody, right?
06:59The whole world.
07:01It's not just prime ministers and presidents.
07:02It's real people, like me.
07:05Who worry about their bills.
07:07And their kids.
07:08Everybody.
07:09I get it.
07:10But I think...
07:12Maybe it's time people, like me, had more of a voice.
07:16We hear you.
07:19Ambassador.
07:22It is decided.
07:24Your request has been heard and denied.
07:28Barclay will be present at dawn tomorrow.
07:32Or negotiations will end.
07:38Where are you taking me?
07:40Huh?
07:42What about my family?
07:44Please, I don't wanna be shocked.
07:46No, no, no, no, no, no.
07:52Are you gonna kill me?
07:55I forgot my gun.
07:56Really?
07:58No.
07:59Uh...
08:01Look, look, look, look.
08:02I'm not a spy.
08:03Or a collaborator.
08:04And I wasn't disrespecting anyone, if that's how it sounded.
08:06Alright?
08:07My mouth...
08:08It just goes an autopilot.
08:09I mean, the same thing happened when I proposed to my ex.
08:11It took me about 20 minutes to get to the ring.
08:13Barclay.
08:15I need someone I can work with.
08:17Well, yeah.
08:19Of course you do.
08:21And I think I can work with you.
08:23What...
08:29Well, hang out on...
08:30I mean...
08:32Like, five minutes ago, you're trying to get rid of me.
08:33I have to tread carefully.
08:35What all unit wants is a peaceful settlement.
08:38But there are levels...
08:39And levels of politics at play here.
08:41International rivalries that go way back.
08:44The truth is, I've spent my whole life fighting for this planet.
08:49Now, with your help...
08:50I get to build a better world.
08:53For everyone.
08:55I don't want to let you down.
08:56I mean, I keep thinking about the time I mixed up the taxis.
08:59And you ended up in...
09:00Sklaut, I remember.
09:01But Homo Aqua chose you for a reason.
09:05And I'm prepared to give you a chance.
09:08Okay.
09:09Uh...
09:12So what happens now?
09:15Now...
09:17Your life changes.
09:20The passenger transport now arriving at Diplomatic Hotel.
09:25Clear the corridors.
09:27Security protocols.
09:28All delegates and Diplomatic staff are being relocated for their own safety.
09:30All right.
09:31But for how long?
09:32What about my family?
09:33Can I call them?
09:34Berkeley!
09:35Dad!
09:36There you go.
09:37What the hell's going on?
09:38I know, I know, I know, I know.
09:39I know, I know.
09:40Barclay will be present at dawn tomorrow.
09:41All negotiations will end.
09:42We hear you.
09:43That's what she said to him.
09:44We.
09:45And if that's true, how is she communicating with her people?
09:46Maybe she's wearing an implant.
09:47Well, they could have shared consciousness.
09:48Or some kind of micro-horizon network.
09:49Maybe they've mastered sound in a way we don't understand.
09:50Using frequencies we can't even hear.
09:51Like Mariah Carey.
09:52I noticed something earlier when Sir Jonathan presented the flower.
09:55I know.
09:56I know, I know, I know.
09:57Barclay will be present at dawn tomorrow.
09:58All negotiations will end.
10:00We hear you.
10:01That's what she said to him.
10:02We.
10:03And if that's true, how is she communicating with her people?
10:06Maybe she's wearing an implant.
10:07Well, they could have shared consciousness.
10:09Or some kind of micro-horizon network.
10:11Maybe they've mastered sound in a way we don't understand.
10:13Using frequencies we can't even hear.
10:15Like Mariah Carey.
10:17I noticed something earlier when Sir Jonathan presented the flower.
10:21Everyone focused on her.
10:23But look.
10:28The exact moment she inhales.
10:30They all do.
10:32Even the ones in the water.
10:34She's softening her language.
10:37She used sarcasm.
10:39Like she's learning, adapting.
10:42They want an everyman as ambassador.
10:44But is that what she is?
10:45Because she's extraordinary.
10:46Those remains are en route to the lab.
10:49And the H2O committee are kicking off.
10:52They want to see you.
10:53So we're just accepting her choice of ambassador.
10:56What goes not up to it?
10:58Well, their race has survived under the sea for millennia,
11:01with centuries of social, evolutionary, and technological advantage.
11:04She's running this show.
11:06Whether we like it or not.
11:16Evening.
11:17Didn't think you were in tonight.
11:19I volunteered.
11:20Didn't want to miss this.
11:21Let's prep one for imaging.
11:23Careful.
11:24We'll take tissue samples.
11:37Prep some slides.
11:38You...
11:39You work in admin.
11:40You're not ambassador.
11:41You couldn't even finish your wedding speech.
11:42Only because your dad spilled wine all over it.
11:43On purpose.
11:44So you're literally the person they're talking about on TV.
11:45Like all the time.
11:46Yeah, but you can't say a word not to anyone.
11:47Who are we going to tell?
11:48We're prisoners.
11:49But Dad is famous.
11:50Okay, we'll just look at the bright side. Look at the view.
11:51That's...
11:52It's nice.
11:53And this room is amazing, isn't it? It's huge.
11:54I'm not the only person living in the real world right now.
11:56What about work?
11:57And school?
11:58Kirby's got that coach trip on Thursday.
11:59A coach trip?
12:00Yeah.
12:01Oh, I'm glad you're going to go back.
12:02I'm glad you're going to go back.
12:03And I'm glad you're going to go back.
12:04I'm glad you're going to go back.
12:05Yeah.
12:06You're not an ambassador.
12:07You're not an ambassador.
12:08You couldn't even finish your wedding speech.
12:10Only because your dad spilled wine all over it.
12:13On purpose.
12:14So you're literally the person they're talking about on TV.
12:15Like all the time.
12:16On Thursday.
12:17A coach trip?
12:18Yeah.
12:19Oh, I'm glad you've got your priorities in order.
12:20Never mind the massive international crises.
12:22No, I'm not sure the minibar's included.
12:24Sue me.
12:25So, if you're an ambassador, does that mean you get to make, like, actual decisions?
12:30No.
12:31God, no.
12:32They've got, like, this whole committee who writes everything that's a policy.
12:34I just have to read it out.
12:35But then, like, why are you?
12:37I don't know.
12:38She just chose me.
12:40What's she like?
12:41Well...
12:43I mean, she's kind of like us.
12:45But she's...
12:46Like, I don't know.
12:50She's beautiful.
12:51Beautiful?
12:52Yeah.
12:53She's a fish.
12:54She's not a fish.
12:55She's not a fish.
12:56And she's not a person.
12:57She's something else.
12:58Anyway, I'm not even supposed to be talking about this.
13:00Convenient.
13:01Barbara, do you really think I asked for this?
13:03I have no idea.
13:04Because it turns out my ex-husband, who can't even assemble flat pack furniture,
13:09is a secret agent who lied about his job and is now saving the world.
13:13So, excuse me if I have questions.
13:15I'm making the most of this massive bath.
13:17Oh.
13:18Oh.
13:19Oh.
13:20Oh.
13:24From screen.
13:29I have no idea what's found over, Sam så義.
13:35They're putting an enormous amount of pressure on one man.
13:45I hope he's up to it.
13:47my father taught me to rely on instinct over intel trust my god he'd say
13:58he sounds very wise your dad he is you should meet him
14:09what does your instinct say i've seen ordinary people achieve extraordinary things

16:52in the bank today and taking our accounts yeah which one the president's sole focus is to protect the
16:59stability of the u.s economy and mine is to protect my companies that's what we hoped you'd say but with
17:07the unit running the diplomacy there's constant opposition
17:11kate lethbridge stewart has influence with the h2o committee and with your prime minister

17:25good we'll need you outside we'll be brief oh you had me at recession
17:31how's the
17:48How's he on the news? He's supposed to be a secret.
18:04The H2O Diplomacy Committee are denying all interview requests.
18:08The only thing we do know about Barclay-Pierre Dupont, our new ambassador, is that the world is watching.
18:14The post is clear. The post is clear.
18:18Go on, Dad.
18:21Morning, Colonel. Mrs Bingham.
18:24Commander.
18:25What do we know about the leak?
18:27The photo was emailed to the press by an anonymous source.
18:30Except I've cross-matched the image with CCTV from the hotel.
18:34The photographer was General Dominique de Solier, the French representative.
18:39Kelsey Preece. She's been undermining NATO since she first drew breath.
18:43And if she discredits units, she gets more influence over the H2O Committee.
18:47Get the French ambassador on the phone. I'm in the mood for a bollocking.
18:50The press association is still demanding access to the hall. I'm not sure we want to get them offside.
18:54Fine. Let them in. But no live TV. 50 people maximum. And anyone who steps out of line gets barred.
19:01I'm sorry, General de Solier. Your access to the hall has been revoked. Come with us, please.
19:11It's inadmissible. You can't refuse to enter.
19:14Just stick to the text on your screen and you'll be fine.
19:17Keep your body language and your vocal tone neutral at all times.
19:20No crossed arms, no raised voice, no sign of aggression or inpatient.
19:24Everything you say or do or think has to come through us.
19:27What's the point of being ambassador for all I'm doing is reading?
19:30There is a team of 43 people working around the clock on this document.
19:34UN diplomats and wartime negotiators vetting every last syllable.
19:37Prime Ministers, Presidents, royalty. Frankly, it's a miracle we got past the contents page.
19:40You cannot go rogue.
19:42Are we ready?
19:43We're all behind you.
19:44Well, yeah, literally. I'm the one standing up there.
19:46You can do this.
19:49I can't stop shaking.
20:12Tell the press no camera flashes and keep an eye on Barclay's obs.
20:16Load pressure 138 over 90.
20:18Bit high.
20:19Pulse is 82 and steady.
20:21Is Downing Street online?
20:23Prime Minister?
20:24Yes, we're here.
20:25All right.
20:26Good luck, everyone.
20:28Mrs Bingham.
20:31All concealed.
20:46Ambassador, are you okay?
20:54Ambassador?
20:55Barkley?
20:56Yes?
20:57Oh, sorry.
20:58Yes, yes, yes.
20:59I'm here.
21:00It's me.
21:01Hello again.
21:28That's not scripted.
21:31Barkley.
21:32Sorry.
21:33I bid you welcome, Ambassador, and bring to session this diplomatic Congress.
21:41On behalf of all nations, I would like to say how sorry I am about your children.
21:48Are you a parent?
21:50Yes.
21:51Yes, he's a parent.
21:52Teenage child, Kirby.
21:54Barkley, just say yes.
21:55Yes.
21:56I can't imagine what that was like for you.
21:59Your apology is appreciated.
22:02Now back to the text, please.
22:04We begin today by hearing proposals to formalize our peace treaty.
22:08But first, we request a glass of water.
22:14What is it?

27:43the h2o committee have prepped new models for environmental regulation the greens have been
27:50trying to achieve these targets for decades that time for you will be a challenge the h2o committee
27:54consulting with industry on that moving on the french consulate have lost an official complaint
28:00over general de solier's removal from the hall they want to reinstate it tough they've seen the evidence
28:05she's denying it and she has influence i think it'll be dangerous to shut her out fine fine we've
28:11got bigger problems meanwhile we've been debating communication theories how the homo aqua ambassador
28:16is able to send and receive information seemingly instantaneously yeah we're looking into oceanic
28:21mycelium networks mycelium that's the mushrooms mushrooms are the reproductive organs of mycelium
28:26networks wait i'm eating reproductive organs on my toes mycelium networks are the fungal threats
28:31believed to connect individual plants and trees to share and recycle vital minerals a lot of these
28:36theories are debatable yes i know but if algae and fungi interact in a similar way when in
28:41water or if water itself forms some kind of network homo aqua amphibia grandis all these species could
28:48potentially be interconnected like a hive mind what if the pearl is their connection point or filter
28:55they're so far ahead of us it's difficult to comprehend we're literally children playing guessing games

29:34so
29:36couldn't sleep
29:37and
29:37I just read your big speech again.
29:51It's more of a ramble.
29:57It made me proud, though.
30:01Really?
30:02But, with all the attention, are you going to be safe doing this?
30:09Yeah, of course.
30:11Promise?
30:12Yes. Promise.
30:18They're moving you out of here tomorrow.
30:20Putting you in a proper safe house, away from all this.
30:23Okay?
30:26I'd rather stay here with you.
30:28The whole world's changing, Dad.
30:32Maybe I needed to.
30:34Maybe it's for the best.
31:02Your family will be moved to a safe house this morning.
31:04We're separating civilians from diplomatic staff.
31:06Oh, look. I'll see them before they go.
31:08No, I'm sorry. You're here all day.
31:09Buckley High, Rosemary Hunt. Nice suit.
31:11How infamous.
31:12What can you tell us about Homo Aqua's demands?
31:13How confident are you that we can achieve what they want?
31:16How are you coping under the pressure?
31:18What happens if you mess this up?
31:43Hiya.
31:44Text on screen, please.
31:48Once again, I bid you welcome.
31:50And bring to session this diplomatic congress.
31:54World leaders have consulted with climate scientists and private enterprise on the subject of ocean pollution.
32:00We can guarantee a 50% reduction by 2065.
32:05Further reduction will then be exponential.
32:072065.
32:082065.
32:10Correct.
32:1150%?
32:13Yes, sir.
32:16Explain.
32:17It will take time to raise the finance and resources to tackle the problem.
32:24But world governments are committed to making it a priority.
32:2740 years.
32:29Yes, sir.
32:32This is unacceptable.
32:34An operation of this scale will stretch our resources to their limits.
32:38We regret we cannot guarantee a significant reduction of ocean pollution in a shorter timeframe.
32:43So this is your final offer.
32:49You've waited millions of years beneath the ocean.
32:53Now we are asking for just 40 more years to reset to give you what you want.
32:58You are asking for 15,000 revolutions of the sun when scores of us are dying every day.
33:11Should we wait while your engines deafen us?
33:17While your trawlers ravage our home?
33:20While we choke on your plastic and sewage.
33:27We cannot hear or see or breathe.
33:33So tell me why we should live like this for just one day longer.
33:40One day longer.
33:43I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
33:47I believe that you are sorry.
33:50But are your leaders?
33:54The world is united in its desire for meaningful change.
34:02Do they wish that they could achieve this sooner?
34:06Yes, of course.
34:07Do they want to accelerate this process?
34:12We are committed to undoing the damage we have inflicted on our planet.
34:17How committed?
34:19It is our greatest desire.
34:22Then we shall grant it.
34:24Sorry, what do you mean?
34:25Your greatest desire is happening.
34:31It is our greatest desire.
34:34It is our greatest desire.
34:37It is our greatest desire.
34:39Then we shall grant it.
34:42Sorry, what do you mean?
34:44Your greatest desire is happening.
34:45Let's go.
35:15And what's happening?
35:17I don't know.
35:20Do you hear that?
35:22Is it a storm?
35:25That's no storm.
35:30It's plastic.
35:32Mum. Mum.
35:34Oh my God.
35:42Turn the car around.
35:43Turn it around.
35:44Get us out of here.
35:54It's happening everywhere all at once.
35:55The plastic's coming out the oceans into our cities.
35:58It's not just the oceans.
35:59It's coming out the Thames, out the Nile, the Hudson.
36:01Lock down the building.
36:02Get everyone to the lower levels.
36:04You can. Come on.
36:06Come on. Move it.
36:07You got it. You got it.
36:10Barkley, we need to leave right now.
36:11Come on.
36:16Now!
36:17You have to stop!
36:19We are cleaning up your mess.
36:25Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait.
36:27You okay?
36:28Barkley, what's happening?
36:30They're cleaning up the ocean.
36:31The plastic, the pollution, all of it.
36:32They're giving it back.
36:33But we're in a car.
36:34It's chaos.
36:35What?
36:35Outside?
36:36We can't get to the safe house.
36:37We come across the river.
36:38Just come to the hall.
36:41Turn the driver.
36:41It's Imperial House.
36:43Imperial House?
36:44Can you take us to Imperial House?
36:45Let's go, let it go.
37:01Don't worry, okay?
37:02We're getting out.
37:06Barkley, listen to me.
37:10We have to run through.
37:11But I need to help the driver.
37:12See?
37:12No, don't see him.
37:13Listen, get out and run in there and find your dad.
37:16I'll be right behind you.
37:17Promise me, just run.
37:19I promise.
37:20Go.
37:28Hey.
37:30Can you hear me?
37:35I'm so sorry.
37:43I'm so sorry.
37:48Where are you?
37:49We're here.
37:49Find Kirby.
37:50They're outside.
38:01Kirby!
38:03Kirby!
38:03Kirby!
38:09Get out!
38:10You okay?
38:14Yeah.
38:15Let's go.
38:16Go.
38:18Go, go, go, go, go.
38:25Go, go, go, go.
38:27Reports are coming in from all over the world, from dozens of major cities.
38:31All across Manhattan, the sky is raining plastic.
38:36Please, all citizens, please look at the safety area.
38:40This is a threat.
38:42The police have issued a directive.
38:43The streets are not safe.
38:45Everyone should stay indoors.
38:47Do not go outside.
38:50What have they done?
38:52They're declaring war.
38:53114 years after she began her maiden voyage, the Titanic has finally reached her destination.
39:17Just one of the impossible sites of the streets of New York today.
39:21Streets that are now unrecognizable.
39:23World leaders have called for calm as the cleanup operation begins.
39:27Major cities around the world remain paralyzed with a damaged bill in the hundreds of billions.
39:33Former Albion party leader Felix Gladstock has branded Storm H2O as a call to arms.
39:39Every citizen of this planet is now at war.
39:42It is time to unite against the common enemy.
39:46Homo aqua.
39:53We would hear from the ambassador.
39:56We would hear from the ambassador.
40:00We would hear from the ambassador.
40:01She's a fish.
40:03Barkley, you work in admin.
40:05You're not an ambassador.
40:06Your only language in your home ambassador.
40:08Everything you say or do has to come through this.
40:13Barkley!
40:14Ambassador, we approach this Congress in good faith
40:23that your actions have jeopardized the diplomatic process.
40:28Humanity wants a peaceful settlement, not war.
40:32This war began a long time ago, and it was started by you.
40:38Now, we have simply returned what is yours.
40:44Look, there's words here I'm supposed to say,
40:51but the fact is you're cleverer than we are. That's obvious.
40:54He's off script again.
40:55This is like working with a doctor.
40:56Look, I understand why you did this, really. I do.
41:00But it was a mistake.
41:02People were hurt.
41:04And my family were out there.
41:06And they could have died.
41:08Now things are worse.
41:10We're scared.
41:12When humans are scared, they do terrible things.
41:14Are you threatening us?
41:16No, no, no, no, no, definitely not.
41:18No, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. No, I'm not.
41:19Enough, Barclay. I mean it.
41:21Oh, God help me, I'll come down there.
41:22Get back to the text.
41:28The United Nations of the Earth demand an armistice agreement
41:31with immediate effect for the duration of these talks
41:34to safeguard humanity
41:35and protect a path towards long-term peace.
41:39There will be three conditions.
41:43One,
41:44that pollution of oceans and waterways ceases
41:47with immediate effect.
41:49Are you expecting this?
41:50Addendum 2, paragraph 1.
41:52World governments are working with industry
41:53on urgent solutions to this crisis.
41:56Our second requirement
41:57is formal designation of borders.
42:00Prepare for that, too.
42:00Okay, this is good.
42:01We are happy to consider large areas of all seas
42:05that are exclusive to Humalaqua.
42:06Areas are not acceptable to us.
42:10We require all water.
42:14What does she mean?
42:15Clarify that?
42:16Sorry, all water?
42:17The entirety of all oceans and waterways.
42:22Sorry, excuse me.
42:23We're an island nation.
42:24Are we permitted passage across the oceans?
42:26No.
42:28The human race evolved to live on land,
42:31not in the waters or the sky.
42:34She said sky.
42:35Do you want the skies now?
42:37You live in the ocean.
42:38The skies are not your concern.
42:40The air above the ocean is the ocean.
42:44This is our space.
42:46Are you seeking to ground all air transport?
42:49Transport over land is your concern.
42:53Transport across water will not be permitted.
42:56But that's ridiculous.
42:57Barclay, you're losing control.
42:58Trade between continents is an essential function of the modern world.
43:02Yes, our continent relies on food imports.
43:05We will take questions from the ambassador.
43:07Barclay, there's no prep for this.
43:08We don't have responses.
43:09You are amphibian.
43:11You don't own this guy.
43:12You cannot stab our people.
43:13We will take questions from the ambassador.
43:16You're holding us hostage.
43:17What about the channel tunnel?
43:18The world cannot function without cross-continental travel.
43:20How dare you?
43:22How dare you come in here and dictate the future of the human race?
43:26You are condemning developing countries to death.
43:28Hang on!
43:28Hang on!
43:29Hang on!
43:29Hang on!
43:30Hang on!
43:38We will take questions from the ambassador.
43:42Only.
43:43Whoa.
43:44Voice has changed.
43:45Her intonation is male.
43:47Never mind the voice.
43:50Look at him.
43:51I'm getting spikes in testosterone, cortisol and keto-testosterone.
43:54What?
43:55So she's a man now?
43:56I...
43:57I don't know.
43:59Sorry.
44:01They're...
44:02They're sorry.
44:03They're...
44:03They're...
44:03Shut up.
44:07Shut up.
44:09Get up.
44:11Shut up.
44:12How is she doing that?
44:24Incredible.
44:24Like I said, people are scared.
44:26They fear what they don't understand.
44:31They don't mean something.
44:32Well done, Bucky.
44:40We need time.
44:42These proposals aren't something we can solve in days or weeks or even months.
44:47But while we negotiate, we insist on a formal armistice to maintain peace between our species.
44:59We have given two conditions for this armistice.
45:03There is a third.
45:05And it is simple.
45:06We stand here in your rooms of concrete and steel and dust and light burning our eyes and our lungs.
45:18And we will endure no more.
45:23So our next meeting will be here.
45:36Atlantic Ocean.
45:37How are they doing this?
45:38Check those coordinates.
45:41North of the equator.
45:43Just off the coast of West Africa.
45:44Is it an island?
45:45No.
45:45They want to meet on a ship.
45:47What's the third coordinate?
45:49South?
45:49West?
45:50What's M?
45:51Barkley, that's open water.
45:52Please clarify the third coordinate.
45:54Your metric unit for length and depth.
45:58You would like us to meet underwater?
46:03You talk of peace and equality.
46:07So prove your commitment.
46:10And meet us in our world.
46:12Roman's Trench.
46:14One of the deepest waterways on the planet.
46:1625,000 feet, five miles down.
46:18Man's submersibles have imploded in less than half that.
46:21Barkley, don't agree to anything.
46:23Will you meet us, Barkley?
46:25At the bottom of the ocean?
46:32Okay.
