00:08The End
00:08Now, Captain
00:11Let's go up
00:11Let's go
00:14Spatio
00:20The rest is in the dust, it's in the dust
00:22It's 2 meters
00:23What have I said, Nicolás?
00:25Get a little in the boat, get the money
00:26Close it, close it
00:28It doesn't work
01:00It doesn't work
01:02It doesn't work
01:16No way
01:21Kirby
01:22Kirby
01:22Kirby, I'm so sorry, darling
01:24You've got to get up
01:26I just got a phone call, I'm not supposed to tell you
01:28But there's this oil spilling skull and they're naming you
01:30I've got your mums
01:31I know, I know
01:32I'm so sorry, can you get up? Can you get up please?
01:34I love you, Kirby
01:34Thank you, thank you
01:36I'll find you one
01:47Hello
01:47Hello
01:47Why have they activated you?
01:49I don't know
01:50Er, this is Kirby, they're my child, they're with me
01:53But I'm in uniform
01:54Yeah, we've just got to draw them off for their mums
01:55It's in Fulham, it's on the way
01:57We can get a taxi in 2 minutes
01:58I'm old enough
02:00I'm not a kid
02:00No, look
02:02You're not crossing lands on your own this time of life
02:03I'm sorry, this is just how it is
02:05I'm sorry
02:11So, why are you with soldiers?
02:15Er, well, because
02:17Sometimes with an oil spill
02:19There might be, um
02:22Arguments
02:40Thanks
02:41Sorry about this
02:42Can't be helped, I suppose
02:44You'll have a bloody job
02:45Sorry, Mum
02:46When are you back?
02:47Oh, I can't tell our texture
02:49Sorry to interrupt the party
02:50Who's there?
02:51Clive and Glisha?
02:52Yeah
02:53And Stanley
02:54Yeah, well he would be, wouldn't he?
02:56See ya
03:00Sorry
03:00The angst is a bit cross, mate
03:03You've broken so many rules
03:05I know
03:05And I wanna say
03:08I am sorry about Christmas
03:09If you can't drink, don't
03:12I checked
03:14Apparently you're on board to replace someone called Roger Trevithick
03:17He was on a mission in Scotland, so
03:19He even made his replacement
03:21Is that what he says?
03:22Yup
03:40The second thing about Roger Trevithick
03:42Did that come from HR?
03:43How should I know?
03:44General
03:44Sergeant Shackery
03:45Welcome aboard
03:47And you are?
03:49Uh, uh
03:49Oh, Barclay-Pierre Dupont, sir
03:51I'm Roger Trevithick's replacement
03:52Oh, the civilian
03:53Read and assess
03:54I just wanted to say about Roger Trevithick
03:56Did that come from HR?
03:57Barclay-Pierre Dupont
03:58Does that surname make you French?
03:59Uh, yeah, my father's side
04:01Trevithick
04:08Barclay
04:11I, uh
04:12Here a minute
04:13Yeah
04:13I'm replacing Roger Trevithick
04:15Oh, my god, yeah
04:17Okay
04:17We arrive on Cabrera at 0900 local time
04:20From there we get taken to the island of Dragonera
04:23The village is called Cala Escondida
04:26Designated prime location
04:27There's a lot to take out
04:29So I suggest you make a start
04:30Oh, my son
04:42Oh, my son
04:43Oh, my son
04:44Oh, my son
04:48Oh, my son
04:50Oh, my son
04:52Oh, my son
04:52Oh, my son
04:54Oh, my son
05:04Oh, my son
05:06Oh, my son
05:10Oh, my son
05:20I replaced him. Only one time, back in 2020. His wife was having a baby. It was premature
05:25and he had to rush off. And I just happened to be there, so all I had to do was
05:28answer
05:28his phone, which didn't even ring, and so that was that. But then I went on file as
05:32Roger Trevithick's replacement.
05:34How was the baby?
05:35Yeah, the baby was fine. But the thing is, I just got stuck on the list in HR. Roger
05:41Trevithick's replacement. I get, like, memos. I mean, there's one time I even got tickets
05:44to Japan, and I'd email him. I'd say, look, look, I'm not Roger Trevithick's replacement.
05:49So?
05:49So, I'm not Roger Trevithick's replacement. Oh, great, ten. Ten. You're ten. Look, don't
05:58talk to me.
05:59And I didn't show you anything.
06:00Yeah, but what do I do? I work in transport. I just booked the taxis.
06:31All troops. As of now, the Mediterranean is hostile territory.
06:44Village evacuated. Border established at ten kilometers, sir. This entire coastline belongs
06:48to us.
07:14They hung it far away from the village like they were scared of. Even in death.
07:18Yes.
07:31Decontamination in progress.
07:35Decontamination in progress.
07:47General. General.
07:51Quite a sight, isn't it? Caught five kilometers off the coast. They shot it dead, but then thought
07:58they could make money out of it. Hold it up. The monster from the deep. We saw it online,
08:08declared it a hoax. Flew in from Madrid, sealed the place off. But it's quite a find. It's
08:14the first time we've seen one exactly like this. Mythology and superstition, we call them
08:20sea devils, but they're better than that now. Let's say, uh, Homo aqua. We think their
08:30species branched off from tenospondyls, which means the correct name is Homo spondyl erectus.
08:35I say Homo aqua, because that's what it looks like. Do we have a sex?
08:40Difficult to say. The genitalia suggests reptilian cloaca, richest found on both male and female.
08:47What about the neck? Was there a pearl?
08:51Plain and simple. Nothing artificial. Calcium carbonate. 60% tarragonite, 40% calcite.
09:01Then I suggest we return it to its rightful place.
09:08Every time you find a creature like this, we find the pearl.
09:11It might be simple decoration. Mankind has worn pearls ever since God knows when.
09:15But every pearl gets analyzed, and we found nothing. No technology, no inscription.
09:21But still, it doesn't signify a caste or a belief or identity.
09:27The pearl is always located at the base of the throat actually embedded in the skin.
09:35We think it's placed there at birth.
09:38It goes back at least 2,000 years, sir, the use of pearls as jewelry.
09:44It's said Cleopatra removed her pearl earring, dissolved it in vinegar, and drank it in front of Mark Antony.
09:51Could be useful to file that. Ready for the deep scan?
09:55Yes, sir.
09:56Yes, sir.
09:57Corporal Morgan, you can join the team here and liaise with Sergeant Brock.
10:01Thank you, Miss Solo. I think your team can stand out.
10:03Yes, sir.
10:05Mr. Clay, I'll close the norm.
10:06Yes, sir.
10:06Mr. Clay.
10:07I'll bring in the cases there.
10:08Cheers, mate.while
10:49Charge him up.
10:51Copy, sir.
10:52You're welcome.
10:53Cheers.
11:02I just wonder what they're doing here.
11:05I mean, it's a pond, the Mediterranean.
11:07It's got no depth.
11:08January 2020, there was an avalanche underwater lasting two days off the west coast of Africa,
11:14spreading over 1,200 kilometers.
11:16Massive event.
11:19All hidden under the sea.
11:20You think it was them?
11:22It severed communications cables, which I think is significant.
11:27They're waking up.
11:29Now the world is two-thirds water.
11:32It's us against them.
11:49Well, I think they heard that.
11:52What was that, sir?
11:53A translation pulse.
11:56We said hello.
11:58Hello.
12:07Hello.
12:14Hello.
12:25Well, can we use our phones yet?
12:27No.
12:50No, no, no.
12:50It's a true story.
12:51That's why people die.
12:53Most common domestic accident, they fall downstairs, break their necks.
12:56So what are you supposed to do?
12:58Well, you go like this.
12:59As you fall, you starfish.
13:00Yeah?
13:01It jams you into the stairwell.
13:02You stop falling.
13:03But who is going to remember that?
13:04You're falling.
13:05You don't think...
13:06What do I do?
13:07What kind of fish?
13:09That's the point.
13:09No one remembers.
13:10So you die!
13:24Anyway.
13:25Right, do you take sugar?
13:26No, thanks.
13:28Whoa.
13:29What the...
13:30What?
13:31What's all this?
13:33Something's leaking bloody out.
13:34Careful.
13:35Is it chemicals?
13:36Whoa.
13:37Oh, I...
13:40What is it?
13:41I don't know.
13:46I don't know.
13:52Hold on to me.
13:55I can't.
13:56Yes.
13:57I can't.
13:58I can't.
13:59Hold on.
14:00Jesus.
14:00I can't.
14:01We need help.
14:03We need help.
14:07We need help.
14:12We...
14:14We...
14:42What's happened?
14:42We have to decontaminate, sir.
14:43But tell me what's happened?
14:44I'm sorry, sir. You'll be able to see once you do it.
14:46Captain, tell me what's happened!
14:47They've gone, sir.
14:49What do you mean?
14:51Everything's gone.
15:02Who was on duty?
15:04Corporal Morgan and Private Abdullah.
15:05Then where are they?
15:06Then where's that thing?
15:08We were just seconds away. They can't have got far.
15:22Hold on! Keep the area clear.
15:24But they've stripped the place spare.
15:26Where did everything go? Who was on duty?
15:28Corporal Morgan, Private Abdullah, please report your location.
15:32We can search the village, sir.
15:35Corporal Morgan, Private Abdullah, please report!
15:44Corporal Morgan, Private Abdullah.
16:00Corporal Morgan, Private Abdullah, please report your location.
16:30What's that?
16:32Huh?
16:34What, you say?
16:54It was 28.
16:58I wanted to say sorry.
17:00You had to see that.
17:01You got the wrong one.
17:02That was your first death.
17:03I'm sorry.
17:05No.
17:06I'm here by mistake.
17:07Okay?
17:08I haven't got clearance.
17:10I'm grade 10.
17:11I work in transport.
17:13I'm a clerk.
17:14You were meant to have Roger Trevivik.
17:15Right?
17:16I've just ended up here by mistake.
17:18I shouldn't be here.
17:19Are you saying you're here by accident?
17:25Yes, sir.
17:28And that, I suspect, is how history is made.
17:33One great big chain of mistakes.
17:36But still, the unit protocol states, at times of historical or cultural or political impact,
17:43a member of the civilian staff must stand alongside the military as witness.
17:48And they could not be more civilian than you.
17:53Too late to turn back now, Barclay.
17:57Welcome aboard.
18:03Typical military intelligence.
18:06I got a first-class degree and did intensive training at St. Andrews for three years to get here.
18:11You blundered in by mistake.
18:15Yeah.
18:18I'm the one who orders the cars and finds cheaper lorries.
18:22But I met the doctor once.
18:26No way.
18:28Last year in the tower, he said hello and then he...
18:31And off he went.
18:34What was he like?
18:39Just like...
18:40He's vivid.
18:42You know?
18:46It's just this tiny little moment, but...
18:51I think about it every second of every day.
18:59That creature, what was it?
19:04The Unified Intelligence Task Force was created to deal with alien lifeforms, but...
19:11This species is an alien.
19:14They're from Earth.
19:15They were here before us.
19:18But...
19:19What did they die out?
19:22They hibernated.
19:24Underground.
19:25And this was when the Earth was...
19:27Young, because the planet reformed around them and sealed them in.
19:30Sometimes proof is found and we hide it.
19:34What for?
19:37Think about it.
19:40They were here first, millions of years ago, so the planet belongs to them.
19:46Technically, we inherited their world.
19:48But, if they're not dead...
19:53What if they want it back?
19:57What's exciting?
19:58We're at night!
19:59We have a life form!
20:01Let's go!
20:28What's the? What's that...
20:29What's that? пожалуйста!
20:29Civilian witness, you record everything. That could be our testimony if we get killed.
20:32If we get what?
20:58At my command, arms down.
21:03How are we on translation?
21:05Aligned and running. Three, two, one. Ready to calibrate, sir.
21:11As soon as it talks, we can capture the sound.
21:29Running translation, sir.
21:37We are calibrated, sir. Ready to go.
21:43My name is General Austin Pierce.
21:55I represent the Unified Military Task Force of the Combined Nations of the Dry Lands of Earth.
22:01And I welcome you into Diplomatic Concord.
22:09Concord is a big concept. Sorry, can we think of another word, please?
22:13Meeting.
22:13I welcome you into this Diplomatic meeting.
22:27You killed us.
22:30Oh, God. Oh, no.
22:32You then took two lives.
22:35And now, I suggest we start.
22:49Agreed.
22:53I hope we can meet in peace.
22:59Agreed.
23:00And learn from each other.
23:04Agreed.
23:05And work to forge a friendship between the land and the sea.
23:14Agreed.
23:15Is that agreed?
23:16Agreed.
23:17Okay.
23:24But...
23:29We do not...
23:32Agree.
23:38We do not agree with...
23:44We would talk to all your animals.
23:47Humans.
23:48We would talk to all humanity.
23:53No.
23:54Sorry, sir.
23:55It's...
23:56It's not wood in the conditional tense, sir.
23:59It's...
23:59We all talk.
24:01All.
24:01All of us.
24:05Oh, my God.
24:08It means all of them.
24:16Repeat the declaration of peace.
24:18Yeah, I know.
24:23I say again...
24:27We come...
24:30In peace.
24:31In peace.
24:44Agreed.
24:49No, no, no. Hold on. Sorry.
24:51We still haven't got the right translation.
24:52We all talk is...
24:53Is a layered statement.
24:55There's another concept embedded.
24:56Could you say it again, please?
24:57Don't refer to them as male.
24:59I ask you to...
25:01Repeat your previous statement.
25:04For translation.
25:09We are talking to the whole world.
25:13We are talking to the whole world.
25:16Right now.
25:18Present tense.
25:20What do they mean?
25:21In what way?
25:43It's happening all over the world.
25:51It's happening all over the world.
26:12Humanity reacts to the simple fact that the species that came before us has woken up.
26:17What?
26:17How many?
26:22What are you working?
26:25What are you working for?
26:31This is it?
26:45Here are some ideas that can become unequal in the
26:53And the president has called for a new age of cooperation.
26:57It's being called H2O diplomacy.
27:41The first official meeting with Homo Aqua will begin here, on the banks of the Thames,
27:47inside Imperial House, behind me.
27:50That's the construction that's being called the waterway.
27:53It's a specific demand from Homo Aqua as a junction between the water and the land.
27:58Some say it's a symbol of peace.
28:00Okay, so I can't do the 17th or the 24th, and I don't know yet about 31sts.
28:05Bloody hell, you can't do that.
28:07That job of yours is useless.
28:09Kirby?
28:09Ah?
28:10Your dad said he can't come and get you for the next three weekends because he's not bothered.
28:13Is that a problem, Kirby?
28:14No.
28:16What about me?
28:17I've got plans.
28:18Yeah, so anyway, I have just put 3,000 quid in your account.
28:21Hope that's okay.
28:22What do you mean?
28:23Like I said.
28:23You did not.
28:24Where's that from?
28:26Well, I got promoted, thank you, but apparently my job's useless.
28:28Well, if I'm getting 3,000 pounds, how much did you get?
28:30Oh, that's nice.
28:32Well, you can get some extra cooks in now.
28:34We're out with the business.
28:35Funny thing is, with these sea devils, it's got Kirby watching proper TV again like the old days.
28:40Well, you can't say sea devils.
28:42They're called homospondils.
28:44All right, don't laugh.
28:46Don't laugh, because homo doesn't mean gay.
28:48It does if you're my age.
28:49So, homo aqua's gay water.
28:51That's them, the gay waters.
28:53That's what you've been drinking, Kirby.
28:54Too much gay water.
28:56Shut up.
28:58So, what's this promotion, then?
28:59What are you doing?
29:01Uh, it's just, you know, just more admin.
29:25General Austin Pearson, grid B2, seat 1.
29:28Morning, everyone.
29:30Very good morning to you, General Pierce.
29:32And to everyone, on the record and for history, my name is Kate Lethbridge-Stewart, Commander-in-Chief of the
29:38Unified Intelligence Task Force.
29:40Unit has been chosen to lead these talks because we stand above and outside all countries, borders, governments, and oceans
29:47of the world.
29:48We represent humanity, but today, we represent all life on Earth.
29:53And I hope this will be the start of a great endeavor to find peace between all of our kindred
29:59species.
30:00To begin the formal proceedings, confirm Downing Street online.
30:03Good morning, Prime Minister.
30:05Good morning, Kate.
30:07Extraordinary days.
30:09It's been a long time working hard to get the people's vote.
30:12Now we've got new people.
30:14White House online.
30:15Confirmed.
30:17All of the people, Beijing.
30:18Confirmed.
30:19National Congress of Brazil.
30:21Confirmed.
30:21We have all 195 nations, ma'am.
30:23And do we have the ambassador?
30:25Approaching now.
30:28Apparently, you had the lobster thermidor last night against our advice.
30:32Let's hope that's not a major crime down below.
30:34Thank you, Mrs. Bingham.
30:35Let's concentrate.
30:36Eyes on the task.
30:37Pardon me, ma'am.
30:38Ah, General.
30:40Good to see you, sir.
30:41Very special day.
30:43Absolutely.
30:45Mr. St. Louis has the waterway.
30:47Are we ready to go?
30:48Stress is holding.
30:50Seals checked and secure.
30:52A-16 has been fixed.
30:54You know the only way to see if this works is to do it.
30:57You've got quite a crowd.
30:59All under control.
31:00Ma'am, we have a press drone.
31:02Ready for that.
31:03Take them out.
31:08What was that?
31:10Cover us, you drone.
31:11Did they see us?
31:12What we glass, don't you read anything?
31:14My phone, they don't know where I am.
31:15They'd flip.
31:15Thanks to you, I'm not even allowed in this room.
31:19Very well done.
31:23That's Roger Trevithick.
31:25Prepare tank for activation.
31:28Positions and good luck to us all.
31:30To confirm, the perimeter is now secure, ma'am.
31:32All stations at gold standard.
31:33Thank you if you could not interrupt.
31:35We have all comms focused and recording backups online.
31:40Good, good.
31:41Mrs. Bingham, let's begin.
31:42Initiate tank activation.
31:44And flood the tank.
31:47Open seals one, two, three.
31:59Open seals four, five.
32:02Take it up to 100 PSI.
32:04Open seals six, seven, eight.
32:11Well, we'll be able to find out.
32:13We'll be able to find out.
32:14That's a 45 compromised system.
32:16Emergency teeth.
32:18Five, eight, 45.
32:19Five, eight, four, five.
32:23We'll be able to find out.
32:29We got it.
32:39Volume stable, water filtered, and purity at 98%.
32:42940,000 liters.
32:44Well done, Mrs. Bingham.
32:46Thank you, ma'am.
32:47Now, are we ready?
32:49Let's welcome our guests.
32:51Open water lock one.
32:59Looks like we have six life forms.
33:03And a seventh.
33:05Four homospondylorectus.
33:06A.K.A.
33:07Home of aqua.
33:08Two of an unknown life form.
33:10One of a second unknown.
33:13Three different life forms in total.
33:16General appears to all troops.
33:18Red status.
33:19Confirm.
33:20Red status.
33:26And here they come.
33:49Two unknown life forms entering.
34:11It's just...
34:13It's just...
34:18What do we say?
34:19I'd call them...
34:21Pisces Morpha Grandes.
34:22Welcome to Pisces Morpha Grandes.
34:25Does that mean big fish?
34:27Yep.
34:27Focus.
34:37That's the signal for the airlock.
34:40Third life form approaching.
34:44Ma'am, we don't know what that third life form is.
34:46Then the first gambit is to trust them, Colonel.
34:49Open the doors.
34:52Activating airlock pumps.
34:59Airlock at full capacity.
35:06Decontamination in progress.
35:08Of course.
35:20Uh...
35:27Are you happy?
35:29I'm happy?
35:30I'm happy?
35:53I'd say homomorphos sapiens, or to simplify, homo amphibian.
36:02Amazing.
36:04They killed two of us, remember?
36:07We killed them.
36:08That's what this is for, to bring peace.
36:12Ready with translations?
36:14I'm running.
36:15Ready to go.
36:17Sir Jonathan, good luck.
36:26I bid you welcome, on behalf of the human race.
36:34I stand here as-
36:36We do not need translation.
36:38Did we learn their language?
36:40No, we did not.
36:41Save the comments.
36:43Well, your English is excellent.
36:50That's Russian.
36:56I'll play it, old man.
36:58I bring you greetings from the United Nations of this world that we call Earth.
37:03It's a symbolic title of Indo-European origin that bears no disrespect to the oceans, seas,
37:10lakes, rivers, and waterways around us.
37:12And I bring you a gift.
37:17Rhododendron nivali.
37:18A flower, the dwarf snow rhododendron.
37:22A flower that grows at the highest point on planet Earth, on the slopes of Mount Everest,
37:27four miles above sea level, perhaps never seen by your kind.
37:31Now, it carries a scent, or a flavor, an essence that you will have never known before.
37:38Would you, um...
37:48This is given with respect.
37:51And the hope of peace between our species.
37:58We have a gift for you.
38:02My children.
38:13My children should have been born at the turn of the third cold current.
38:19But they choked on your oil, and poison, and excrement.
38:26Skip to 16.
38:27Sir Jonathan, go to 16, paragraph 10.
38:31I must state with vigor that we recognize the problem.
38:37Our solutions are remarkable.
38:39We do not know you.
38:40Well, I...
38:42I am Ambassador Sir Jonathan Hines.
38:45You are not known to us.
38:48We would speak...
38:50with him.
38:57Me?
39:00Who the hell is he?
39:01Well, he's...
39:02Nothing.
39:03He's no one.
39:04He...
39:05He's part of the team.
39:06He's the witness.
39:07He's the mistake.
39:08He was there by mistake.
39:09Give me intel on him.
39:10Now!
39:11Yes, ma'am.
39:12No.
39:13Sorry.
39:14No, no.
39:15You...
39:16You...
39:16You got the wrong man.
39:17You showed respect.
39:29Uh...
39:30No, that's just...
39:31That's just a thing.
39:32It's...
39:32You respected...
39:33Our fallen kin.
39:35When no others did.
39:36What are they?
39:37Christians now?
39:38Someone tell me what's going on.
39:40I'm not even religious.
39:42I turn on my head.
39:43But we saw your kindness.
39:46And we see you.
39:51Will you stand as Ambassador?
39:54And talk on behalf of the entire human race?
40:01Okay.
