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.
00:59Okay.
01:00Okay.
01:21Okay.
01:23Let's go, people.
01:47Welcome to Blackport.
01:51We don't have much time.
01:53But we've appointed the best naval training personnel to prep us for 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.
02:21Our journey will take two hours and 17 minutes.
02:25The 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 and 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.
03:03Of course there's a risk.
03:05What we're doing today is unprecedented.
03:06But 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.
03:40Get your voice down.
03:42If 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...
03:52Now, once we arrive at the descent point, Homo Aqua will transfer us to their environment.
03:58Well, what about the descent?
03:59Are 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.
04:12Okay.
04:14Yeah.
04:37Transferred by helicopters at 0600.
04:39Indemnity forms need signing, and legal have noted you haven't replied to their emails.
04:46You do need to make sure your will is up to date.
04:48What's this is it, then?
05:11Do I get a hug before I go?
05:14It might take weeks to clean the roads.
05:19The city's been shut down.
05:20You can't go anywhere.
05:22Yeah, well, it's lucky you're back here, then, isn't it?
05:24We're at war.
05:25I know.
05:26I'm going to sort it.
05:27How?
05:30How are you going to sort anything?
05:32Do you know what they're calling you on TikTok?
05:34Oh, I don't really care.
05:35You're a useless, traitor, bootlicker, bleeding-heart puppet.
05:40Too 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.
05:49They'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.
06:04Please, please, please don't.
06:09Got this?
06:10Okay?
06:12I can do this.
06:14I mean, for God's sake, I nursed Mum through cancer, didn't I?
06:19I don't know.
06:22Bloody hell, if I can get through that, oh, 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.
06:34Okay?
06:36So, McCurvy's the whole world.
06:44You don't have to be strong for me.
06:49Oh, I'm so scared.
07:00I think I'm so scared.
07:11All right, that's it.
07:13Okay now.
07:14All right?
07:18Yeah?
07:18Yeah, sorry.
07:31Ravi?
07:32Hmm?
07:33You okay?
07:34Mm-hmm.
07:34I've been a diplomat for three months.
07:37Three months, I've...
07:39I'm not going 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, the works.
07:51You think I'll get a girlfriend out of it?
07:53They're going to be queuing up, mate.
07:54All 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, and hold the line.
08:14I get struck by lightning, dead at 50.
08:17Seriously?
08:17What's in the box?
08:25Diplomatic gift.
08:29From all nations.
08:34And 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, coral mantelpieces.
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.

13:07yes dead
13:11i've got some team bonding work games if anyone's interested
13:17no thank you
13:20where'd you end up here anyway
13:30there was a diplomatic lottery for the last two seats and india won or lost depending how you see it
13:40there was rumors flying around that the draw was rigged that most people had their names removed because
13:52they didn't want to go hunt
13:55i mean one way to look at it
13:59i mean one way to look at it is we're pioneers
14:00like those
14:02early astronauts
14:03you know where would we be if they hadn't taken that one giant link
14:07you know where would you know where would you know what would you think we'll get for dinner when we're back on the ship tonight hmm think they'll spoil us they bloody should
14:22nooo it'll just be canteen sandwiches again
14:37it's tough being a hero
14:39is this water
14:49this is water
14:52there is water in here
14:54right here on the ship
14:55ted calm down it's condensation
14:57how the hell do you know
14:58because i read page six of the safety briefing
15:01yeah sorry
15:09i guess if there was a breach
15:16this thing would implode before we knew about it
15:18can everyone just shut up now please
15:24the economy is already tanking if we start closing shipping lanes the effect could be catastrophic
15:45no
15:46sorry sir kate lethbridge stuart
15:48okay it is a directive of the united nations the unit have a voice in any emergency discussions
15:53sorry we started a little early a lot of people couldn't make it some of the covenant are joining remotely
15:59with respect it's a phone call
16:05please carry on
16:06please carry on
16:08the united states
16:09the united states relies on maritime trade and we will defend ourselves vigorously against any disruption to our networks
16:16the u.s.s. the u.s. military is arming itself with sonic weaponry sound cannons are used for crowd control
16:23but we've adapted the technology for underwater use we've identified key shipping lanes we need to protect
16:27we've identified key shipping lanes we need to protect
16:30the english channel the panama canal the suez
16:33ultra high frequency blasts could disable or confuse homo aqua paving the way for traditional weapons if required
16:41sorry why are we discussing weapons our focus is on diplomacy and there is an armistice agreement in place now to stop further violence
16:49someone's got to be the first to break it
16:51sir our focus should be on diplomacy that's why six of our diplomats are risking their lives today
16:55they're buying time that's all they're doing it's song and dance smoke and mirrors
16:59the gentleman's right
17:02we make decisions here in this room western front of the falklands iraq wars are fought and won at this table
17:10they think they own the water while they were splish splashing around 300 million years ago we crawled out of the water
17:17and we conquered it
17:20we built a civilization that depends on our oceans to power our homes feed our crops and keep us alive
17:27keep you in business sorry but i agree with kate their civilization is so ancient and so powerful aren't they a gift
17:34couldn't they help solve not just the climate crisis but so much more
17:39if we had them on side we're never going to get them on side they want us gone
17:46if they wanted us gone i think that would have already happened
17:48if they were gone we could have access to their technology think of it
17:52treasure from the ocean floor this is a diplomatic crisis not a pirate raid
17:56it's what the west does best colonize and plunder
17:59i'm sorry but i'm sixty percent water we all are
18:06don't tell me we don't own the water
18:08if homo aqua want a war between the land and the sea we'll take the sea
18:12so this kind of rhetoric is irresponsible
18:14if you're trying to keep the peace you've already failed
18:16if you're not on side we might have to reconsider our options
18:23diplomatic responsibility can easily be transferred
18:27what to you
18:28a global emergency committee could guide homo aqua through a peace process that puts mankind first
18:33sorry not you what is sir keith doing in an emergency meeting it is not cabinet or agency
18:40and his companies at this very moment are still pumping millions of liters of sewage into our waterways
18:46these processes take time
18:47and don't get me started on general jesolier who leaked confidential information to the press
18:52i think you need to calm down love
18:53this is a national security matter
18:55the fact is we need industry and our allies on side
19:04we can't do this alone
19:25what's going to happen down there
19:35ravi come on
19:36i've already said we don't know
19:37so what if this is a trick
19:39and they want hostages
19:40we didn't take any hostages
19:42why should they
19:43because that's what happens in war
19:44i promise you we're going to sort this
19:46okay i don't know how we will
19:47but we will
19:48because my kid is not living through a war
19:50i never had kids
19:51if i get out of here
19:54i'm going to call my brother
19:55we haven't spoken for 20 years
20:03good for you
20:06first thing i'm doing is taking my family out for the meal

20:31bones
20:32and meat
20:33and they put it in a diving suit
20:35and they
20:36they tested it for deep sea pressure
20:38and they
20:39it just turned to soup
20:41in a split second
20:42okay Ted
20:43no one wants to hear this
20:44and i don't

21:54we were staring down the barrel of unprecedented financial and energy crises
21:58now it's catastrophic
22:00we cannot surrender control of this planet
22:02look what they did to us in 15 minutes if they wanted to they could wipe us out
22:07unit are looking after their own interests
22:09it is our moral duty to stop aqua kind however we can

23:45and sat through a coban meeting with a room full of warmongers
23:48you need a break
23:50you need a break
23:53they want a shut unit out
23:55and if we lose control who steps in
23:58who decides the future of the human race
24:03sorry
24:04submersible's entering the deepest part of the trench
24:06yes
24:08get me captain gates i want a situation report ASAP
24:13this is uncharted territory
24:15they're off the maps now
24:16this will be the longest night of our lives
24:19this will be the longest night of our lives
24:21what's that, what's happened?
24:46what's that, what's happened?
24:51I think we stopped.
24:55Are we on a seabed?
24:58Negative.
25:00This is SU-1 to surface.
25:06Surface, this is SU-1.
25:12Hello.
25:15Is anyone there?
25:21Oh my god.
25:25We're moving again.
25:29What? Captain, what's happening?
25:31We're moving at 12 knots. 18 knots.
25:36These readings don't make sense.
25:38That's not possible.
25:3913 knots. Something's taking control.
25:44How are they moving so fast?
25:48Captain!
25:49What? Are they being dragged?
25:51I think so. They're descending twice as fast.
25:53Steve, how's the pressure?
25:54The pressure is holding.
25:57We've lost cons. Ping the transponder.
25:59No response.
26:00Okay, do you feel that? Do you feel like we're descending again?
26:02Why is there no radio content?
26:03I don't know.
26:04Oxygen's normal.
26:05The cables are functioning. We're just...
26:07Cut off.
26:10On our own.
26:11Don't!
26:12I don't know.
26:13They're all safe.
26:14I don't know.
26:19Oh my god!
26:20Man!

26:22I'm just a little...
26:24Ah!

26:26I'm just getting on your line!
26:27I'm just getting on your head!
26:28Oh shi...
26:29we stopped and the pressure on the hull is 1200 HPA wait is that good or bad well that's like sea
26:58level that's the pressure on land except we're five miles down five miles we inside something
27:09the whole system's gone down helmet's on everyone backers are kicking any second
27:17this is a trap they're going to kill us wait a sec shut up well that's it that's backup
27:28there's something at the hatch it's them
27:31they're breaking in raise positions
27:43who's going first
28:07is that cave i don't know wait there
28:22oh bloody hell
28:34it's alive
28:41temperature is 21 degrees celsius which is impossible
28:49atmosphere is breathable not just breathable it's perfect
28:53this place is incredible
28:57you can come out now be careful there's a drop
29:02it's some kind of membrane
29:09there's gotta be billions of tons of water behind this
29:14one tear in that membrane
29:22watch your step the ground's uneven
29:28if this is the ground
29:30what the hell was that decontamination
29:39everyone okay okay what is this place
29:44it's like nothing in the world
29:48it's like hell
29:50welcome
29:56where exactly are we
30:06deeper than any human has ever been
30:11you can remove your apparatus
30:15no wait
30:16this environment has been prepared for you
30:20will you trust me
30:41buggy
30:48yeah
30:52yeah
30:55yeah
31:00yeah
31:06yeah
31:10It's okay.
31:40The roof's leaking!
31:42There is no roof.
31:45What?
31:47But you are safe.
31:50I prefer to keep the stone.
31:54As you wish.
32:10It's fatigue.
32:26You're running on empty.
32:28All this pressure, it's taking its toll.
32:31Pretty soon you're gonna be of no use to anyone.
32:33I feel fine.
32:37After 48 hours, the brain and the body start to shut down.
32:41I've seen it happen, and I'm watching it happen to you.
32:45If I reported you, you'd be escorted from the building.
32:48Except you wouldn't do that.
32:50The delegates are miles beneath the surface in radio silence for hours.
32:54There'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.
33:07You're amazing.
33:09But you're not invincible.
33:20Either 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?
33:37Well, many deepsy organisms are bioluminescent.
33:40Bacteria, plankton, species of fish.
33:42So, are we inside an organism, or...?
33:46I have no idea.
33:48This is impossible.
33:49Your world of steel and glass and sunlight is equally impossible to us.
33:55And is this... is this where you live?
33:58No.
33:59We are nomads.
34:01All of the oceans and waterways are our home.
34:07They are curious.
34:09That is all.
34:11So, do you all live here? Together? Like all the species?
34:15There are the fish.
34:17There are the titans.
34:19The dolphins.
34:21And us.
34:22Huh.
34:23So, it's like a hierarchy then. Like a class system.
34:28There are degrees of intellect.
34:31Do not assume we think as one.
34:35Oh.
