00:00You came to our world, and killed yourselves.
00:04What is it that binds these two together?
00:08You will find salt. You will return her to us.
00:11You will advance the plans to change your world.
00:13That's impossible.
00:14Make it possible.
00:16We've tested the samples, but we've never tried severance on an adult homo-amphibian.
00:20If we can use salt, I can end this war.
00:23You're something of a warrior yourself, and yet, full of despair.
00:28I lost someone.
00:29What can he run? It's a trap!
00:33General, this is a unit operation. You will withdraw.
00:36You will both walk towards us.
00:37You are prisoners of the British Army. You will surrender to us.
00:40Open fire at my command.
00:42On my command, fire at will.
00:51I'll find you!
00:53You will never swim alone!
00:54You will never swim alone!
00:55You will never swim alone!
00:57I will never swim alone!
00:58You will never swim alone!
00:59You will never swim alone!
01:05You will never swim alone!
01:11Run!
01:13I've got my powers done!
01:17I've got my powers!
01:27Oh, my God.
01:49All right mate, go on.
01:53Come on boy.
02:01Cup of tea.
02:02Ah, go on man.
02:40You ate our dogs.
02:42You eat our fish.
02:43Well you can't eat our dogs.
02:44You can't eat our fish.
02:45Our dogs are domesticated.
02:48Our fish are family.
02:50The ambassador from Vietnam would like it on record
02:52that taking offense at dog meat is racist.
02:55It's a distraction.
02:56Act kind to playing with us.
02:57What are they really doing?
03:08I keep seeing him.
03:12Every day.
03:15Every time I go home.
03:44I'm just going to add some salt to the salad.
03:46You'll see.
03:47You'll like it.
04:03Why are you always so paranoid?
04:05Too long and too hard to compromise myself.
04:08Why can't this be enough?
04:11And when you see him, how does it make you feel?
04:15Oh, happy, obviously.
04:17I think it's great.
04:18Don't be stupid.
04:20I know he's dead.
04:20It's PTSD as simple as that.
04:22I didn't come for a diagnosis.
04:23I just need to know.
04:26I'm on 20 milligrams of paroxetine.
04:28Can I double it to 40?
04:31Because I need to keep focused for work.
04:33I'm sorry that's out of the question.
04:37I will have to sign you off.
04:38What for?
04:39You're clearly unfit.
04:41With the greatest sympathy, I can't risk you going back to work.
04:45We're on the edge of a worldwide war, so I'm not going anywhere.
04:49I can't let you do that.
04:51I'm sorry.
04:52I've got no choice.
04:53I have to report this to your superior.
04:55Your daughter is not your husband's.
04:58I beg your pardon?
05:03Elizabeth, it's my job to know everything.
05:06So I know that you slept with his best friend.
05:09The friend found someone else called Gillian.
05:10Your marriage survived.
05:12Your secret is safe.
05:14Until now.
05:19So.
05:21Prescription, please.
05:28The next meeting we tied is scheduled for 2100.
05:34What about Barclay?
05:36How is he?
05:36Physically, he's okay.
05:38We're still investigating that.
05:39But the psych evaluation is complicated.
05:49I keep getting headaches.
05:55And this whistling sound.
06:00I've got a rash on my neck and my legs are okay.
06:03BPM heart rate steady.
06:05Let's step it up.
06:13We're eight kilometers under the sea.
06:15Nothing survives that.
06:17You're something of a miracle, Mr. P. DuPont.
06:21It's a marvellous surname.
06:22Where's it from?
06:23My father was French.
06:25Amazing.
06:27Is it? Yeah.
06:28People think it's posh.
06:30But the truth is, my dad was a builder.
06:32Well, it wasn't even now.
06:32It's unemployed.
06:34Everything he had, he drank away.
06:35But, um...
06:37I reckon that's why I got into you, innit?
06:39Because I got a posh surname,
06:41and all you little rocks, please.
06:42You weren't special before you are now.
06:45Most famous man in the world, some say.
06:48Yeah, that's a problem.
06:51She made me so special, well, now she's gone.
06:57No one knows what to do with me.
07:09You know, if they arrest me, people will complain.
07:13If they let me go, people will complain.
07:15And they won't just complain.
07:18They'll murder me.
07:22So they put me back in a hotel.
07:24It's just me.
07:24Everyone else has been evacuated.
07:26It's like a prison.
07:41I've had so many death threats.
07:42Everything I eat or drink has to be scanned.
07:44And I said to them, for how long?
07:48They said the rest of my life.
07:53Very funny!
07:55It hurts.
07:56My back and my neck.
08:01My lungs.
08:07It's the only place I feel good.
08:09Where?
08:11In the water.
08:23The same word.
08:24Severance.
08:25Buried so deep that it sends up a red flag.
08:28Good work.
08:31All the same, Mum.
08:33It can wait till tomorrow.
08:35You're not going to stay here all night, are you?
08:37No.
08:37We've got trouble.
08:39Kate, I need access to all comms.
08:41All screens to me.
08:42Priority override.
08:43Open link to the TNP database.
08:45My name only.
08:46Granted.
08:47This is Professor Bellow.
08:48Tactics and planning.
08:49What have we got?
08:49You were right.
08:50From day one.
08:51They were hiding it.
08:52You said so.
08:53It's all been a distraction.
08:55The diplomatic talks were just war games.
08:57While they were doing exactly what we thought they'd do.
09:00Aquakind are melting the ice caps.
09:04They were clever.
09:05We were searching with satellites, but we forgot how good they are with water.
09:08They positioned a layer of ice crystals at three kilometers to hide the heat.
09:12How did you find it?
09:13We didn't.
09:15They dropped the layer.
09:16They want us to see.
09:17What's the scale?
09:19At this rate, Antarctica will double its loss.
09:21300 billion tons of ice per year.
09:23Jesus.
09:24That's three trillion liters of water.
09:27And worse than that, the Prince Friedrich ice shelf.
09:30It vanished.
09:32Today.
09:32That should take years.
09:33That should take decades.
09:35It melted in six hours.
09:37I think that was a declaration.
09:39What if they go beyond Antarctica?
09:41What happens if they melt all the ice of the world?
09:44Sea levels will rise a hundred meters worldwide.
09:46And it's not just the water.
09:48All that carbon will be released into the atmosphere.
09:52We will flood.
09:55We will drown.
09:59We will choke.
10:02They've won the war.
10:14What is ice but water in the form of land?
10:17We are restoring it to its natural state.
10:20Hmm.
10:21Well, nevertheless, with respect, it must be noted that we...
10:25You started this.
10:27Humankind was melting the ice long before we awoke.
10:31We have heat waves underwater caused by you.
10:36So we are completing what you began.
10:39But with respect, we do need to know...
10:41But you started this.
10:43Nevertheless, I have to ask...
10:44You started this.
10:45Yes.
10:46Yes, if we could just push...
10:47This was started by you.
10:49I don't think it's appropriate...
10:50You made this happen!
10:57We think your schedule of five years might not be...
11:01Five years is all you have.
11:02Yes, I think we might not actually...
11:03You have five years.
11:06Or all the water of the world will be set free.
11:12And to be certain of this...
11:15Little people...
11:17This was never a war.
11:20This was an inconvenience.
11:24You were the dirt that gathered while we were away.
11:28But now we have returned.
11:31And you will be cleansed.
11:40Five years.
11:43We can't clean a single river in five years.
11:46Never mind the world.
11:57Five years.
11:58Five years.
11:59Five years.
12:08Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
12:10Come on.
12:10Come on.
12:11It's fine.
12:12I'm not worried to do it.
12:14I completely understand.
12:15I told you.
12:16I told you.
12:16I told you.
12:17I completely understand.
12:19All right.
12:19Come on.
12:20It's fine.
12:28We met over there.
12:30You were drunk.
12:33No, I was just a little bit happy.
12:35Happy and lucky.
12:40Are we all going to drown?
12:43Is that what's going to happen?
12:46Are all of us going to drown?
12:49I don't know.
12:50You're their bloody friend.
12:51Why are you always so useless?
12:59We had a visitor.
13:01From Unit, he was one of your lot.
13:03He said, what about you and Kirby?
13:05You're connected to Barclay in Tempers of High.
13:07You won't be safe.
13:08He said, it's Unit's job to protect you.
13:11For life.
13:14He said, we can move you, you know.
13:17You can live in a safe house.
13:19On higher ground.
13:20One of those gated communities.
13:21With security.
13:26The rest of our lives.
13:32Can I visit you?
13:34Can I see you?
13:35Absolutely.
13:36You can see us whenever you want.
13:37You can see Kirby.
13:38Absolutely any time.
13:40You have to believe me.
13:41That's the first thing I said.
13:43Okay.
13:43I really did.
13:44Okay.
13:46Oh, we can meet behind gates.
13:53What's happened to us?
13:54You fell in love for a fish.
13:56Sorry.
13:57Sure.
13:59Well, you did.
14:04Did you?
14:09I don't know.
14:15I just keep thinking I wish I could hear her.
14:19What do you mean?
14:26So...
14:28We had this connection.
14:29You said that to me once.
14:31But we did.
14:39I keep thinking, right?
14:43We're 60% more.
14:44Right?
14:45So I'm 60% more.
14:47And Wow Song can travel thousands of miles.
14:51So I thought...
14:54Maybe she could hear me.
15:02Someone had an actor on my side.
15:05In my way.
15:08Every night.
15:15They got me a piece of tech.
15:17To override the cameras.
15:19My nose.
15:32My nose.
15:35My nose.
15:35I think it'll be successful.
15:39You could put this up in the fish way.
15:41It's all yourself.
15:42My nose.
15:43Come on to the average person's life.
15:44If I've made my life.
15:45If I've had my life.
15:45That's right.
15:46They might not.
15:49Thanks. I didn't see anything.
15:57It's every night.
16:00I've got eight hours before the next shift.
16:03Every single night.
16:27And I drive.
16:30I drive into the night.
16:33Every night.
16:43Every night, I go to the coast.
16:58Luck is calling to me.
17:00The water.
17:03All night long.
17:05Because she is out there.
17:08Somewhere.
17:10In the night.
17:12In the water.
17:15In the dark.
17:21Every night, I call her name.
17:24And I keep trying.
17:29Every single day.
17:34And I'll tell you.
17:36That's my favorite thing.
17:42My favorite thing.
17:43My favorite thing.
17:45My favorite thing.
17:46My favorite thing.
18:03Just as we planned, he's calling for her.
18:07Every night, he waits till dawn.
18:10Then he drives back, hides in his hotel, tries again the next night.
18:16But he doesn't get a response?
18:17We don't talk much.
18:20Thanks.
18:21I didn't see anything.
18:23But I'd say not.
18:27Maybe Salt's gone.
18:30Or maybe she can't hear him.
18:32He's on the English Channel.
18:34My government have put bafflers in the water along the coast.
18:38Sonic disruption to interfere with aquacine communication.
18:43Maybe they're stopping Salt.
18:45Anything you can do?
18:50I could ask for a pause.
18:52Then maybe she gets through.
18:55And then Severance.
19:01I never said yes.
19:04For the history books, my name is not on this.
19:15Sorry, haven't got time.
19:17I need a signature on this.
19:20Didn't need to bring it in person.
19:22I'd also like a word.
19:26You could finish off, folks.
19:28Thanks.
19:28Yes, sir.
19:30You need to be quick.
19:32I really haven't got time.
19:33We have five years to rebuild civilisation.
19:37What's Severance?
19:40In what way?
19:41It's a word picked up on comms.
19:44It was buried in one of Sir Keith's final messages.
19:48Sad loss.
19:49He was a good man.
19:51He was murdered, and we don't know why.
19:53I do.
19:53The police were very clear.
19:54It was a protest against privatised water.
19:57And I might remind you, Sir Keith was not a member of this government.
20:00But the word Severance crops up in your comms, too.
20:03I'm sure it does.
20:05It would have a thousand meanings.
20:06It would call Brexit a form of severance.
20:09But you don't.
20:10The word has only appeared since the arrival of Homo Aqua.
20:13Its context has been scrubbed.
20:15Someone clever has tried very hard to hide it.
20:17But my staff are really very good.
20:20Then what do you think Severance is?
20:23You tell me.
20:25Is it some sort of weapon?
20:29Oh, for God's sake.
20:31I can help.
20:36These are extraordinary days, sir.
20:37The pressures on you are immense.
20:40And times like this, people can panic.
20:42Do the wrong thing.
20:44I thought maybe, if you're in too deep,
20:48if you need someone,
20:52trust me, there's always a way out.
20:57I can find it for you.
21:07I don't know what you mean.
21:08I don't know what you mean.
21:08I don't know what you mean.
21:19Good.
21:22Thank you, sir.
21:27And if I might say,
21:29a task of this size is beyond you.
21:31The economy will collapse within six months.
21:34You'll be voted out.
21:35The next lot will storm into power,
21:36promising anti-Aqua legislation.
21:38The war will begin all over again.
21:40And on and on and on it goes.
21:42But I will still be here.
21:45Waiting.
21:47And I promise you, Harry,
21:49when you're out of office,
21:50and history has swept you aside,
21:53there will be a reckoning.
21:55With me.
21:56And I promise you, Harry.
22:32As you can see here,
22:34this incredible shot of ice,
22:36thousands of tons of bruised water,
22:39has just collapsed.
22:40Thanks.
22:42Right, yeah.
22:43It's just a burger and chips,
22:45but that's the funny thing.
22:46Hotel burgers are always good.
22:48Well, yeah, it's because I incinerate them.
22:50Cheap meat, cooked to death.
22:52You can't beat it.
22:55Cheers.
22:55Cheers, then.
22:56Cheers.
23:02Cheers.
23:05Cheers.
23:09Cheers.
23:12Cheers.
23:13Cheers.
23:16Cheers.
