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.
00:59Roman's Trench, one of the most excessive urban palpations, the chemical Joanna's version of the ocean?
01:04Let's go.
01:07Let's have aaron.
01:07We're ready to go.
01:10Let's go.
01:11Let's go.
01:14Let's go.
01:16Let's go.
01:19Let's go, people.
01:46Welcome to Blackport.
01:49We 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.
02:10We'll be descending to the rendezvous point in the submersible.
02:17The submersible is currently on a launch vessel with warship escorts bound for the descent
02:30point.
02:31And I will be the ambassador, myself, Andrew Mickey for communications, myself for science
02:42and technology, and our two diplomatic representatives, Mr. Singh and Ravi, and Mr. Campbell.
02:49Kate.
02:50It's a pleasure.
02:51Have we ever been this state before?
02:54Smaller missions of one or two people.
02:57Nothing of the scale.
02:58And 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.
03:12This is Kate Lethbridge-Stewart, a launch vessel.
03:15Captain Gates, how are we doing?
03:18Just finishing final checks.
03:20Pre-launch checks complete.
03:31Submersible ready for the primals.
03:34Things go wrong all the time.
03:35What if this brings a leak?
03:38That kind of pressure will be crushed to death, horrorized in an instant.
03:41Not yourself.
03:42Get your voice down.
03:43If you do this, you might never come back.
03:47Deep sea pressure compresses air-filled spaces in the body, leading to lung compression
03:52and potential...
03:53Once 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?
04:08We're a team.
04:10Okay.
04:11Yeah.
04:12Okay.
04:13Yeah.
04:14Yeah.
04:15Yeah.
04:16Yeah.
04:17Yeah.
04:22Yeah.
04:23Transferred by helicopters at 0600.
04:40Indemnity 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.
04:53.
05:01.
05:05.
05:08.
05:10This is it then.
05:12Do I get a hug before I go?
05:16It might take weeks to clean the roads.
05:19The city's been shut down, you can't go anywhere.
05:21anywhere yeah well it's lucky you're back here then we're at war i know i'm gonna sort it how

07:18Yeah?
07:19Yeah, sorry.
07:31Ravi?
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 gonna come back a hero. You 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 gonna be queuing up, mate.
07:55What you gotta do is hang in there.
07:58You know, sometimes I can hear my life coach.
08:01Hold the line, Ted.
08:03That's what he'd say in moments like these.
08:05Moments of fear, of self-doubt.
08:08Believe in yourself, trust in fate, and hold the line.
08:12They get struck by lightning, dead at 50.
08:16Seriously?
08:24What's in the box?
08:26Diplomatic gift.
08:30From all nations.
08:32And what are Homo aqua supposed to do with the globe?
08:37They see the world from underneath, right?
08:39From the depths.
08:40Never like this.
08:41Where are they gonna put it, Ted?
08:43Who knows?
08:44Maybe they've got, like, coral mantelpieces.
08:47Aren't you phased by any of this?
08:50We're gonna be fine.
08:52Boot floats.
08:54Being a tiny cave.
08:55Oh.
08:56Oh!
08:57Oh, oh.
08:58Oh, oh.
08:59Oh, oh, oh.
09:00You're gonna be, big.
09:01Oh.
09:02Adenousia.
09:03You're gonna be, big.
09:04I'm gonna be, big.
09:05Oh, oh, oh.
09:06Oh, oh.
09:07Oh, oh, oh.
09:10Oh, oh, oh.
09:16Oh, oh, oh, oh.
09:17Oh, oh, oh, oh.
09:20In the words of a great man, we can be heroes.
09:46Let's save the world.
09:50See all the hatch?
10:06Controls of all units.
10:08We are clear.
10:09Confirm lock.
10:31Captain Gates handing control over to you.
10:33Okay, let's pick it up.
10:34Let's move it out.
10:46Taking you off the ship now.
10:47Good luck, everybody.
10:48Good luck to you all.
10:49That's all looking stable, sir.
11:17Over.
11:18Deployment is go.
11:20Control deck.
11:21Already stable.
11:23We are good to go.
11:24Over.
11:28You okay, dude?
11:29Isn't that terrific?
11:31Yep.
11:36Ten B.
11:38Prepare for release.
11:50This is it.
11:54On my mark.
11:56In three.
11:58Two.
11:59One.
12:02Mark.
12:02And we're off.
12:16And we're off.
12:16And we're off.
12:31Move.
12:32No.
12:32Yeah.
12:34Ah.
12:35No.
12:36No.
12:37No.
12:39No.
12:41No.
12:41No.
12:42No.
12:43Okay.
12:44Oh, how long's it been?
12:52Seven minutes.
12:55Gone dark already.
12:57No sunlight.
12:59Imagine 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, if 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, and India won.
13:37Or lost, depending how you see it.
13:44Oh, there was rumors flying around that the draw was rigged, that most people had their
13:52names removed, because they didn't want to go hunt.
13:57I mean, one way to look at it is we're pioneers, like those early astronauts.
14:04You know, where would we be if they hadn't taken that one giant link?
14:06Oh, what 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, when 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, right 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 of the safety briefing.
15:01Yeah, sorry.
15:15I guess if there was a breach, this thing would implode before we knew about it.
15:18So...
15:19Can everyone just shut up now, please?
15:31The economy's already tanking.
15:41If we start closing shipping lanes, the effect could be catastrophic.
15:45No.
15:46Sorry, sir.
15:47Kate Lethbridge-Stewart.
15:49Okay.
15:49It is a directive of the United Nations that you need to have a voice in any emergency discussions.
15:54Sorry, we started a little early.
15:56A lot of people couldn't make it.
15:57Some of the Covenant are joining remotely.
15:59With respect, it's a phone call.
16:04I'll catch up.
16:05Please, carry on.
16:08The United States relies on maritime trade, and we will defend ourselves vigorously against
16:14any disruption to our networks.
16:17The U.S. military is arming itself with sonic weaponry.
16:21Sound cannons are used for crowd control, but we've adapted the technology for underwater use.
16:27We've identified key shipping lanes.
16:29We need to protect the English Channel, the Panama Canal, the Suez.
16:33Ultra-high-frequency blasts could disable or confuse Homo Aqua, paving the way for traditional
16:40weapons, if required.
16:42Sorry, why are we discussing weapons?
16:44Our focus is on diplomacy.
16:45And there is an arms disagreement 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.
16:53That's why six of our diplomats are risking their lives today.
16:56They're buying time.
16:57That's all they're doing.
16:58It's song and dance, smoke and mirrors.
17:00The gentleman's right.
17:02We make decisions here in this room, western front of the Falklands, Iraq.
17:09Wars are fought and won at this table.
17:11They think they own the water.
17:13But while they were splish-splashing around 300 million years ago, we crawled out of the
17:18water.
17:19And we conquered it.
17:22We built a civilization that depends on our oceans to power our homes, feed our crops,
17:27and keep us alive.
17:28Keep you in business.
17:29Sorry, but I agree with Kate.
17:32Their civilization is so ancient and so powerful, aren't they a gift?
17:36Couldn't they help solve not just the climate crisis, but so much more?
17:41If we had them on side.
17:43We're never going to get them on side.
17:45They want us gone.
17:47If they wanted us gone, I think that would have already happened.
17:49If they were gone, we could have access to their technology.
17:52Think of it.
17:53Treasure from the ocean floor.
17:54This is a diplomatic crisis, not a pirate raid.
17:56It's what the West does best, colonize and plunder.
18:00I'm sorry, but I'm 60% water.
18:04We all are.
18:06Don't tell me we don't own the water.
18:09If Homo Aqua want a war between the land and the sea, we'll take the sea.
18:12So this kind of rhetoric is irresponsible.
18:15If you're trying to keep the peace, you've already failed.
18:17If you're not on side, we might have to reconsider our options.
18:26Diplomatic responsibility can easily be transferred.
18:28What to you?
18:29A global emergency committee could guide Homo Aqua through a peace process that puts mankind
18:35first.
18:36Sorry.
18:37What are you doing in an emergency meeting?
18:39It is not cabinet or agency and his companies at this very moment are still pumping millions
18:45of litres of sewage into our waterways.
18:47These processes take time.
18:48And don't get me started on General Gisollier, who leaked confidential information to the press.
18:53I think you need to calm down, love.
18:54This is a national security matter.
18:56The fact is we need industry and our allies on side.
19:05We can't do this alone.
19:06What's going to happen down there?
19:35What's gonna happen down there very come on already said we don't know so what if this is a trick and they want hostages?
19:41We didn't take any hostages. Why should they because that's what happens in war?
19:45I promise you we're gonna sort this okay?
19:47I don't know how we will but we will because my kid is not living through a war. I never had kids
19:53If I get out of here, I'm gonna call my brother
19:57We haven't spoken for 20 years
20:05For you
20:07First thing I'm doing is taking my family out for the meal all 19 of us
20:13Yeah, yeah, and I'm paying
20:20It's hot
20:22Let's sit
20:25How deep are we all right come on come on Ted don't think about it
20:28I watched this show where they made a human out of pig pots bones and meat and they put it in a dive
20:35Suits and and the
20:37But tested it for deep-sea pressure here is their account just turned to shoot it in a split second
20:43No one wants to hear this one to be soup
20:50You're okay Ted come on come on look at me just breathe just breathe now breathe now please with me
20:55Okay slow and steady with me because we're a team are we
21:05I'll hide this one
21:05I've got anything
21:15We can't hide now
21:18I'll hide this one
21:19We can't hide this one
21:19Oops
21:21I'll hide this one
21:23The pain
21:23I'll hide this one
21:27I can't hide this one
21:30Hey Luke, arm
21:31husANDER
21:32Well, 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.
22:01We 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.
22:16Harry, I know you have a lot on your plate by now.
22:20Alison has tests today.
22:22She'll be with her.
22:25I already know you value my opinion.
22:28And maybe my money.
22:29The generals have decades of military strategy under their belts.
22:33Let us guide you.
22:35Take the pressure off.
22:41When I became Prime Minister, I made a promise to my grandchildren to leave this country better than I found it.
22:47Sir, if we don't win this war, and war is what it is, there will be no grandchildren.
22:56But we believe there is a way through this.
23:00A new stratagem just between us.
23:04We're calling it Severance.
23:06I found some instant coffee.
23:18And...
23:18Biscuits.
23:23I won't ask you what you had to do for this.
23:26Huh.
23:27Yeah, let's not.
23:34They'll be okay.
23:37But 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 Cobra meeting with a rumful of warmongers.
23:50You need a break.
23:51They want to shut you, no doubt.
23:56And if we lose control, who steps in?
23:59Who decides the future of the human race?
24:04Sorry.
24:05Submersible's entering the deepest part of the trench.
24:07Yes.
24:09Get me, Captain Gates.
24:10I want a situation report ASAP.
24:14This is uncharted territory.
24:16They're off the maps now.
24:19This will be the longest night of our lives.
24:21What's that?
24:47What's happened?
24:51I think we stopped.
24:55Are we...
24:55Are we on a seabed?
24:58Negative.
25:00This is SU-1 to surface.
25:06Surface, this is SU-1.
25:12Hello.
25:13Is anyone there?
25:22Oh, my God.
25:26We're not even again.
25:30But, Captain, what's happening?
25:32We're moving at 12 knots.
25:33Eighteen knots.
25:36These readings don't make sense.
25:39That's not possible.
25:40Thirteen knots.
25:41Something's taking control.
25:45How are they moving so fast?
25:48Captain.
25:50What?
25:50Are they being dragged?
25:51I think so.
25:52They're descending twice as fast.
25:54Steve, how's the pressure?
25:55Pressure is holding.
25:57We've lost cons.
25:58Ping the transponder.
25:59No response.
26:01Okay, do you feel that?
26:02Do you feel like we're descending again?
26:03Why is there no radio content?
26:05Oxygen's normal.
26:06The cables are functioning.
26:07We're just...
26:08Cut off.
26:11On our own.
26:12It's almost happening.
26:21No, he's stopped.
26:51And the pressure on the hull is 1,200 HPA.
26:55Wait, is that good or bad?
26:56Well, that's like sea level.
26:58That's the pressure on land, except we're five miles down.
27:02Five miles?
27:07Are we inside something?
27:13The hot system's gone down!
27:14Oh, my God.
27:15Oh, my God.
27:16Oh, my God.
27:17Oh, my God.
27:18Oh, my God.
27:19Oh, my God.
27:20Shut up.
27:22Well, that's it.
27:23That's backup.
27:28There's something at the hatch.
27:29It's them.
27:40They're breaking in.
27:41Raise positions.
27:42Come on.
27:43Come on.
27:56Come on.
27:57Who's going first?
28:17Yeah.
28:19Is that cave?
28:20I don't know.
28:21Wait there.
28:22Oh, 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.
29:07It's some kind of membrane.
29:11There's got to be billions of tons of water behind this.
29:19One tear in that membrane.
29:25Watch your step.
29:27The 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.
29:49It's like hell.
29:55Welcome.
30:04Where exactly are we?
30:07Deeper than any human has ever been.
30:11You can remove your apparatus.
30:16No, wait.
30:17This environment has been prepared for you.
30:20Will you trust me, Barclay?
30:45Yeah.
30:46It's okay.
31:15It's okay.
31:15The roof's leaking!
31:42There is no roof.
31:43What?
31:47But you are safe.
31:50I prefer to keep this going.
31:54As you wish.
31:55It's fatigue.
32:06You're running on empty.
32:13All this pressure, it's taking its toll.
32:31Pretty soon, you're going to 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, I've seen it happen, I've seen it happen.
32:43I'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 can't do it, but I'm going to be of no use to do the war, so we've seen it happen.
33:00Rested, and ready for whatever comes next.
33:08You're amazing.
33:10But you're not invincible.
33:21Either I take you home to rest, or I report you.
33:27My apartment is a fully equipped comms hub.
33:29We'll work from that.
33:36So, how is that light down here?
33:38Well, many Dipsy 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
33:54is equally impossible to us.
33:57And is this... is this where you live?
33:59No.
34:01We are nomads.
34:03All of the oceans and waterways are our home.
34:06They 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.
34:23And us.
34:24Huh.
34:25So, that's, uh...
34:26Looks like a hierarchy, then.
34:27Like a class system.
34:29There are degrees of intellect.
34:32Do not assume we think as one.
34:34Oh.
34:35Oh.
34:37Oh.
34:38Oh, sorry.
34:39Sorry.
34:40I...
34:42I just, uh...
34:44This is...
34:46a lot.
34:48Here.
34:49Hold on to me.
34:50Come on.
34:51Come on.
34:51Keep moving.
34:52Keep moving.
34:54Come on.
34:55Hang on.
35:03Where are the others?
35:09Have the wolves moved?
35:15It's just you.
35:17And me.
35:22I feel like I know you.
35:25I'm not gonna know you.
35:28I haven't known you forever.
35:31Is that weird?
35:34I understand.
35:50You're so warm.
35:53And rough.
35:55You're so warm.
36:01Can I, um...
36:04Can I touch you?
36:05Can I touch you?
36:27Strength.
36:34And beauty.
36:39I don't know why you chose me for any of this.
36:48The tides have drawn us together.
36:52The undercurrents pulling us closer.
36:57If you calm your mind,
37:01you'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.
37:27Your heart is racing.
37:32Yeah, I don't want to mess this up.
37:36Billions of people are counting on us.
37:39You have good intentions.
37:49We could make a difference, you and I.
37:53End the conflict between our species.
37:56Before it's too late.
37:58Before it's too late.
38:04Yeah.
38:08Berkeley!
38:12We thought we lost you.
38:15Are you alright?
38:18Yeah.
38:19We are assembled.
38:20We are assembled.
38:21We are surrounded by enemies.
38:22We are divided by enemies.
38:24And then we are surrounded by enemies.
38:29Oh my God.
38:33Come and let's get some of these.
38:35We are surrounded by enemies.
38:37For the rest of the dead, we are surrounded by enemies.
38:39And we are surrounded by enemies.
38:41Let's go to a mountain.
38:42Oh, my God.
38:48Do not be afraid.
38:50This is how it felt for you, missing us.
39:12Welcome to our domain.
39:31Welcome to our domain.
40:01You'll find it so easy.
40:08The future of the human race pivots on what happens tonight.
40:11We don't matter.
40:14How can you be thinking about us?
40:17I think about us all the time.
40:24Can't you not be Commander-in-Chief just for a few hours?
40:28I don't know how.
40:35Leave it.
40:41Shirley, 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.
40:57It'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.
41:05Severance.
41:05Kate.
41:06Kate.
41:07Kate.

41:48This is for you.
42:01Me. Kate?
42:08I love you.
42:18You're sorry.
42:21How long?
42:24Hello?
42:29Please, please, please.
42:44Your foe is lost.
42:59Your foe is lost.
