00:00All over the world, humanity reacts to the simple fact the 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, oh my god.
00:31They clean up the ocean, the plastic, the pollution, all of it, they'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.
00:59I'm sorry.
00:59Man.
01:02Wow.
01:04I'm sorry.
01:09We're going to be here.
01:11We're going to be here.
01:13We're going to be here.
01:17We're going to be here.
01:22We're going to be here.
01:22Let's go, people.
01:47Welcome to Blackport.
01:48We don't have much time, but we've appointed the best naval training personnel to prep us
01:56from 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.
02:14We'll be descending to the rendezvous point in this submersible.
02:17To a depth of 8,000 meters, five miles down.
02:22Our journey will take two hours and 17 minutes.
02:26The submersible is currently on a launch vessel with warship escorts bound to the descent point.
02:30On the dive will be the ambassador, myself, Andrew Mickey for communications, myself for science
02:42and technology, and our two diplomatic representatives, Mr. Singh.
02:46And Ravi.
02:48And Mr. Campbell.
02:49Ken, 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.
03:10This is Kate Lethbridge-Stewart, a launch vessel.
03:15Captain Gates, how are we doing?
03:18Just finishing final checks.
03:19Pre-launch checks complete.
03:31Submersible ready for deployment.
03:34Things go wrong all the time.
03:36What if this brings a leak?
03:37That kind of pressure will be crushed to death, horrorized in an instant.
03:41Get your voice down.
03:44If 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 causes...
03:52Now, once we arrive at the descent point, Homo Aqua will transfer us to their environment.
03:58Well, what about the descent? Are 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.
04:17Transferred by helicopters at 0600.
04:40Indemnity forms need signing and legal have noted you haven't replied to their emails.
04:44You do need to make sure your will is up-to-date.
04:48This is it, then.
05:11Do I get a hug before I go?
05:14It might take weeks to clean the roads.
05:17The city's been shut down. You can't go anywhere.
05:21Yeah, well, it's lucky you're back here, isn't it?
05:23We're at war.
05:25I know. I'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.
05:35They're saying you're a useless, traitor, bootlicker,
05:38bleeding heart puppet, too 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.
06:01I'm sorry, but I promise you I'm going to be fine.
06:03No, no, no, no, no. Please, please, please don't.
06:09Got this? Okay?
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?
06:27I've got to be strong for everyone else, right?
06:31Because everyone's counting on me.
06:32Okay?
06:33Because it's the whole world.
06:35You don't have to be strong for me.
06:37Oh, I'm so scared.
06:38Oh, my.
06:39Oh, I'm so scared.
06:40I can do that.
06:41I can do that.
06:42Neither of you.
06:43I can do that.
06:44Oh, my.
06:45Oh, my, oh, I can do that.
06:46I can do that.
06:47Oh, my.
06:48Oh, my...
06:49Oh, I'm so scared.
06:50Oh, oh, I'm so scared.
07:00I'm so scared.
07:12What?
07:12Okay, now.
07:16What?
07:18Yeah.
07:18Yeah, sorry.
07:20What?
07:31Ravi?
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,
07:49the works.
07:51You think I'll get a girlfriend out of it?
07:53They're going to be queuing up, mate.
07:55What you've 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,
08:11and hold the line.
08:12They get struck by lightning, dead at 50.
08:17Seriously?
08:23What's in the box?
08:25Diplomatic 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,
08:46coral mantle pieces.
08:48Aren't you phased 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,
09:43we can be heroes.
09:46Let's save the world.
09:53See all the hatch.
10:06Control to all units.
10:08We are clear.
10:09Confirm lock captain gates handing control over to you. Okay, let's pick it up
10:39Let's move it out taking you off the ship now good luck everybody good luck to you
11:09That's all looking stable sir, over. Deployment is go. Control deck, all ready for stable we are good to go, over.
11:27You okay, dude? Isn't that terrific? Yep
11:37Chen V
11:48Prepare for release
11:51This is it
11:55On my mark
11:56In three
11:58Two
12:00One
12:02Mark
12:15And we're off
12:20Any other
12:21Two
12:28Two
12:30Four
12:31Three
12:33Two
12:35Three
12:37Three
12:39Three
12:41Two
12:42Four
12:43Five
12:44Five
12:45Six
12:46Five
12:47Six
12:48Oh, how long's it been?
12:52Seven minutes.
12:55Gone dark already. No sunlight.
12:59Oh, imagine living like this all the time.
13:03Anyway, we're fine, aren't we?
13:06Can I get a yes, Ted?
13:10Yes, Ted.
13:14I've got some team bonding work games.
13:16If 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,
13:35and India won.
13:37Or lost, depending how you see it.
13:40There was rumors flying around
13:48that the draw was rigged,
13:50that most people had their names removed
13:52because they didn't want to go hunt.
13:57I mean, one way to look at it
13:59is we're pioneers.
14:02Like those early astronauts.
14:04You know, where would we be
14:05if they hadn't taken that one giant link?
14:09Oh, the 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.
14:18What 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 here on the ship.
14:55Ted, calm down.
14:56It's condensation.
14:57How the hell do you know?
14:58Because I read page six
15:00of the safety briefing.
15:07Yeah, sorry.
15:15I guess if there was a breach,
15:17this thing would implode
15:18before we knew about it.
15:21Can everyone just
15:22shut up now, please?
15:37The economy's already tanking.
15:41If we start closing shipping lanes,
15:43the effect could be catastrophic.
15:45No.
15:46Sorry, sir.
15:47Kate Lethbridge-Stewart.
15:49Okay.
15:49It is a directive
15:50of the United Nations
15:51that you need to have a voice
15:52in any emergency discussions.
15:54Sorry, we started a little early.
15:56A lot of people couldn't make it.
15:58Some of the Covenant
15:58are joining remotely.
16:00With respect,
16:01it's a phone call.
16:04I'll catch up.
16:05Please, carry on.
16:07The United States
16:09relies on maritime trade
16:11and we will defend ourselves
16:12vigorously
16:13against any disruption
16:15to our networks.
16:17The U.S. military
16:18is arming itself
16:19with sonic weaponry.
16:21Sound cannons
16:22are used for crowd control,
16:23but we've adapted
16:25the technology
16:25for underwater use.
16:27We've identified
16:28key shipping lanes
16:29we need to protect.
16:31The English Channel,
16:32the Panama Canal,
16:33the Suez.
16:34Ultra-high-frequency blasts
16:35could disable
16:36or confuse Homo Aqua,
16:38paving the way
16:39for traditional weapons,
16:41if required.
16:42Sorry, why are we
16:43discussing weapons?
16:44Our focus is on diplomacy.
16:45And there is an armistice agreement
16:47in place now
16:48to stop further violence.
16:50Someone's got to be
16:50the first to break it.
16:52Sir, our focus
16:52should be on diplomacy.
16:53That's why six of our diplomats
16:55are risking their lives today.
16:56They're buying time.
16:57That's all they're doing.
16:58It's song and dance,
16:59smoke and mirrors.
17:00The gentleman's right.
17:01We make decisions
17:04here in this room,
17:06the Western Front,
17:06the Falklands,
17:08Iraq.
17:09Wars are fought and won
17:10at this table.
17:12They think they own the water.
17:14While they were
17:14splashing around
17:15300 million years ago,
17:16we crawled out of the water.
17:19Then we conquered it.
17:20We built a civilisation
17:23that depends on our oceans
17:24to power our homes,
17:26feed our crops
17:27and keep us alive.
17:28Keep you in business.
17:30Sorry, but I agree with Kate.
17:32Their civilisation
17:32is so ancient
17:33and so powerful.
17:34Aren't they a gift?
17:36Couldn't they help solve
17:37not just the climate crisis
17:39but so much more
17:40if we had them on side?
17:42We're never going to
17:43get them on side.
17:45They want us gone.
17:46If they wanted us gone,
17:47I think that would have
17:48already happened.
17:49If they were gone,
17:50we could have access
17:51to their technology.
17:52Think of it.
17:53Treasure from the ocean floor.
17:54This is a diplomatic crisis,
17:55not a pirate raid.
17:57It's what the West does best.
17:59Colonise and plunder.
18:00I'm sorry, but
18:01I'm 60% water.
18:04We all are.
18:06Don't tell me
18:07we don't own the water.
18:09If Homo Aqua
18:10want a war between
18:10the land and the sea,
18:11we'll take the sea.
18:12So this kind of rhetoric
18:13is irresponsible.
18:15If you're trying
18:15to keep the peace,
18:16you've already failed.
18:20If you're not on side,
18:23we might have to reconsider
18:24our options.
18:26Diplomatic responsibility
18:27can easily be transferred.
18:28What to you?
18:30A global emergency committee
18:31could guide Homo Aqua
18:33through a peace process
18:34that puts mankind first,
18:35not you.
18:36Sorry, what is Sir Keith
18:36doing in an emergency meeting?
18:38It is not cabinet
18:40or agency
18:40and his companies
18:42at this very moment
18:43are still pumping
18:44millions of litres of sewage
18:46into our waterways.
18:47These processes take time.
18:48And don't get me started
18:49on General Gisollier
18:50who leaked confidential
18:52information to the press.
18:53I think you need
18:53to calm down, love.
18:54This is a national security matter.
18:56The fact is
18:57we need industry
18:58and our allies on side.
19:04We can't do this alone.
19:06What's going to happen
19:23What's going to happen down there?
19:36Raffi, come on.
19:37I've already said we don't know.
19:38So 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.
19:47Okay, I 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.
20:04Good for you.
20:07First thing I'm doing is taking my family out for a meal.
20:10All 19 of us.
20:1119?
20:13Yeah.
20:14Yeah, and I'm paying.
20:15Shit.
20:19It's hot.
20:20All right, Ted.
20:26Come on, Ted.
20:27Don't think about that.
20:28I watched this show where they made a human out of pig parts, bones, and meat.
20:33And they put it in a diving suit, and they tested it for deep sea pressure.
20:39Mr. Campbell.
20:39It just turned to soup in a split second.
20:42Okay, Ted, Ted.
20:43No one wants to hear this.
20:45And I don't want to be souped.
20:49All right.
20:49Okay.
20:50It's okay.
20:50You're okay.
20:51Ted, come on.
20:52Come on.
20:52Look at me.
20:53Just breathe.
20:53Just breathe now.
20:54Breathe now.
20:54Please, with me.
20:56Okay?
20:56Slow and steady.
20:57With me.
20:58Because we're a team, aren't we?
21:00Yeah?
21:00Okay.
21:17Well, 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?
21:53A few days ago, the situation was dire.
21:56We were staring down the barrel of unprecedented financial and energy crises.
22:00Now it's catastrophic.
22:02We cannot surrender control of this planet.
22:04Look what they did to us in 15 minutes.
22:06If they wanted to, they could wipe us out.
22:08Unit are looking after their own interests.
22:11It is our moral duty to stop Aquakine however we can.
22:15It is our moral duty to stop Aquakine.
22:17I know you have a lot on your plate right now.
22:20Alison has a test today.
22:21She'll be with her.
22:25I already know you value my opinion.
22:27And maybe my money.
22:29The generals have decades of military strategy under their belts.
22:32Let us guide you.
22:33Take the pressure off.
22:34When I became Prime Minister, I made a promise to my grandchildren to leave this country better than I found it.
22:46Sir, if we don't win this war, and war is what it is, there will be no grandchildren.
22:57But we believe there is a way through this.
23:00A new stratagem just between us.
23:03We're calling it Sevens.
23:16I found some instant coffee.
23:20And...
23:22Biscuits.
23:24I won't ask you what you had to do for those.
23:26Ha.
23:27Yeah, let's not.
23:34They'll be okay.
23:36But you look exhausted.
23:38I've had six hours sleep in three days.
23:42This morning I showered in a sink.
23:44Sent good people five miles under the ocean and sat through a Coburn meeting with a room full of warmongers.
23:49You need a break.
23:53They 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. Submersible's entering the deepest part of the trench.
24:06Yeah.
24:09Get me Captain Gates.
24:10I want a situation report ASAP.
24:14This is uncharted territory.
24:15They're off the maps now.
24:16This will be the longest night of our lives.
24:20This will be the longest night of our lives.
24:46What's that? What's happened?
24:47I think we stopped.
24:54Are we... are we on a seabed?
24:58Negative.
25:00This is SU-1 to service.
25:06Service, this is SU-1.
25:12Hello.
25:13Is anyone there?
25:16Is anyone there?
25:22Oh my god.
25:26We're moving again.
25:30What? Captain, what's happening?
25:32We're moving at 12 knots.
25:3318 knots.
25:34These readings don't make sense.
25:35That's not possible.
25:3613 knots.
25:37Something's taking control.
25:42How are they moving so fast?
25:44Captain!
25:45What? Are they being dragged?
25:46I think so.
25:47They're descending twice as fast.
25:48Steve, how's the pressure?
25:49Pressure is holding.
25:50We've lost cons.
25:51Ping the transponder.
25:52No response.
25:53Okay, do you feel that?
25:54Do you feel like we're descending again?
25:55Why is there no radio content?
25:56Oxygen's normal.
25:57The cables are functioning.
25:58We're just...
25:59Cut off.
26:00On our own.
26:01Oh!
26:02What's happening?
26:03What's happening?
26:04Oxygen's normal. The cables are functioning. We're just...
26:07Cut off.
26:10On our own.
26:19No! What's happening?
26:34We stopped. And the pressure on the hull is 1200 HPA.
26:55Wait, is that good or bad?
26:57Well, that's like sea level. That's the pressure on land, except we're five miles down.
27:02Five miles.
27:07What? Are we inside something?
27:13The whole system's gone down.
27:14Oh my God.
27:15Helmet's on everyone.
27:16Backers should kick in any second.
27:17This is a trap. They're going to kill us.
27:19Wait a sec, Ted. Shut up.
27:22Well, that's it. That's backup.
27:28There's something at the hatch.
27:30It's him.
27:32There get.
27:40They're working in.
27:42Raise positions.
27:43Come on, come on. Come on.
27:44Come on, come on.
27:46Come on, come on.
27:47Come on.
27:52Come on.
27:53Who's going first?
28:19Is that cave?
28:20I don't know.
28:21Wait there.
28:23Oh, bloody hell.
28:40It's alive.
28:45Temperature's 21 degrees Celsius, which is impossible.
28:49Temperature's breathable, not just breathable.
28:52It's perfect.
28:56This place is incredible.
28:59You 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.
29:26The ground's uneven.
29:29If this is the ground.
29:34What the hell was that?
29:38Decontamination.
29:39Everyone okay?
29:42Okay.
29:42What is this place?
29:45It's like nothing in the world.
29:48It's like hell.
29:55Welcome.
30:04Where exactly are we?
30:06Deeper than any human has ever been.
30:13You can remove your apparatus.
30:16No, wait.
30:17This environment has been prepared for you.
30:20Will you trust me, Barclay?
30:45Yeah.
30:50It's okay.
31:15It's okay.
31:20The roof's leaking!
31:41There is no roof.
31:45What?
31:47But you are safe.
31:48I prefer to keep this going.
31:54As you wish.
32:18It's fatigue.
32:26You're running on empty.
32:29All this pressure, it's taking its toll.
32:32Pretty 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.
32:41I've seen it happen, I've seen it happen, and I'm watching it happen to you.
32:46If I reported you, you'd be escorted from the building.
32:49Except you wouldn't do that.
32:50The Delicates 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, but you're not invincible.
33:11But 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.
33:35So, how is that light down here?
33:38Well, many deepsy organisms are bioluminescent.
33:41Bacteria, plankton, species of fish.
33:43So are we, uh, inside an organism, or...?
33:47I have no idea.
33:49This is impossible.
33:51Your world of steel and glass and sunlight is equally impossible to us.
33:57And is this... is this where you live?
34:00No.
34:01We are nomads.
34:03All of the oceans and waterways are our home.
34:08They are curious.
34:10That is what.
34:12So, do you all live here, together, like all the species?
34:16There are the fish.
34:18There are the titans.
34:20The dolphins.
34:22And us.
34:24Huh.
34:24So, that's, uh...
34:25It's like a hierarchy, then.
34:27Like a class system.
34:29There are degrees of intellect.
34:32Do not assume we think as one.
34:36Oh.
34:38Oh, sorry.
34:39Sorry.
34:40I...
34:40I just, uh...
34:43This is...
34:45A lot.
34:46I...
34:47Here.
34:49Hold on to me.
34:50Come on.
34:50Come on.
34:51Keep moving.
34:52Keep moving.
34:53Come on.
34:54Come on.
35:03Hang on.
35:03Where are the others?
35:04Have the wolves moved?
35:15It's just you.
35:17And me.
35:18I 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.
35:34I understand.
35:35You're so warm.
35:52And rough.
35:53Can I touch you?
36:05Can I touch you?
36:05Can I touch you?
36:05Can I touch you?
36:07Shh.
36:07Shh.
36:07Shh.
36:18Shh.
36:21Shh.
36:23Shh.
36:23What do you feel?
36:29Strength.
36:30and beauty.
36:39I don't know why you chose me
36:41for any of this.
36:48The tides
36:49have drawn us together.
36:52The undercurrents
36:53pulling us closer.
36:57If you calm your mind,
36:59you'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.
37:51End the conflict between our species
37:55before it's too late.
38:03Yeah.
38:07Berkeley!
38:08Berkeley!
38:11We thugged last year.
38:13Are you all right?
38:18Yeah.
38:19We are assembled.
38:20Oh, my God.
38:43Do not be afraid.
38:50This is how I felt for you.
38:53Missing us.
39:23Welcome to our Domain.
39:40They're down there, on their own, with no support.
39:47Do you think one day we won't need to keep us a secret anymore?
39:50I don't know.
39:55I'm sick of hiding it.
39:57Pretending.
39:58Worrying about being transferred to God knows where.
40:01Alaska?
40:03You find it so easy.
40:05The future of the human race pivots on what happens tonight.
40:11We don't matter.
40:14How can you be thinking about us?
40:18I think about us all the time.
40:19Can't you not be Commander-in-Chief?
40:26Just for a few hours.
40:30I don't know how.
40:35Leave it.
40:35Shirley, hi. Any news from the delegates?
40:43No. All quiet.
40:44So I ran some intel on the people in that COBRA meeting.
40:47Thanks.
40:48I think I found something.
40:50A repeated word in diplomatic communications.
40:53Does the word severance mean anything to you?
40:56No.
40:56It's never appeared before.
40:58Now it's been used 14 times in the last two days.
41:01Coded messages going back and forth.
41:04Severance.
41:04Severance. Severance.
41:10Kate?
41:17Kate?
41:19Kate?
41:20Kate?
41:20Kate?
41:20Kate?
41:20Kate?
41:26Kate, you there?
41:38Kate?
41:48This is for you.
41:56Kate?
42:23Kate?
42:23Kate?
42:23I don't know.
42:25I don't know.
42:26I don't know.
42:27I don't know.
42:29I don't know.
42:31Jesus.
42:45Your rule is lost.
42:53You don't know.
43:07I don't know.
43:11I know.
