00:00Let's go!
00:30Dale, donë dale, pa qué se fue, bailiare.
00:36¡Ahora, capitán!
00:38Vamos a subirla.
00:41Espacio, espacio.
00:48Está hecho polvo, le quedan dos metros.
00:51Lo que ha dicho Nicolás, vierte un poco en el barco.
00:54Gáste el dinero.
00:55Cércala, cércala.
00:57Da que le sigue que no funciona.
01:00AHHHHH!
01:30Oh, no way.
01:52Kirby, Kirby, I'm so sorry, darling.
01:56You've got to get up.
01:57You know, I just got a phone call, I'm not supposed to say, but there's this oil spill in Scotland, and they need me, and you've got to get some ups.
02:03I know, I know, I'm so sorry.
02:04When you get up, when you get up, please, I love you.
02:06Thank you, thank you.
02:08I'll find you, Mom.
02:19Hello.
02:20Why have they activated you?
02:22I don't know.
02:23This is Kirby, they're my child, they're with me.
02:25But I'm in uniform.
02:27Yeah, we've just got a drama for their mums.
02:29It's in Fulham, it's on the way.
02:30We can get a taxi in two minutes.
02:31I'm old enough.
02:33I'm not a kid.
02:34No, no, look.
02:35You're not crossing lands on your own this time of night.
02:37I'm sorry, this is just how it is.
02:38I'm sorry.
02:39So, why are you with soldiers?
02:50Well, because sometimes with an oil spill, there might be arguments.
02:56I'm sorry.
02:57I'm sorry.
02:58I'm sorry about this.
03:01Thanks.
03:16Sorry about this.
03:18Can't be helped, I suppose.
03:20You'll have a bloody job.
03:21Sorry, Mom.
03:22When are you back?
03:23Oh, I can't tell her texture.
03:25Sorry to interrupt the party.
03:27Who's there?
03:27Clive and Cleese, yeah?
03:28Yeah, and Stanley.
03:30Yeah, well, he would be, wouldn't he?
03:32See ya.
03:36Sorry, the exit's a bit cross, am I?
03:40You've broken so many rules.
03:42I know.
03:42And I want to say, um, I am sorry about Christmas.
03:47If you can't drink, don't.
03:49I checked.
03:51Apparently you're on board to replace someone called Roger Trevithick.
03:54He was on a mission in Scotland, so he even made his replacement.
03:58Is that what he says?
04:00Yep.
04:18The thing about Roger Trevithick, could that come from HR?
04:21How should I know?
04:23General.
04:23Sergeant Shackrey, welcome aboard.
04:26And you are?
04:27Uh, uh, oh, Barclay-Pierre Dupont, sir.
04:30I'm Roger Trevithick's replacement.
04:31Oh, the civilian.
04:32Read and assess.
04:33Oh, I mean, I just wanted to say about Roger Trevithick.
04:35Did that come from HR?
04:36Look, Barclay-Pierre Dupont.
04:37Does that surname make you French?
04:39Uh, yeah, my father's side.
04:41Trevian.
04:43Barclay.
04:43I, uh, Pip, isn't it?
04:53Yeah.
04:54Um, replacing Roger Trevithick.
04:56Oh, my God, yeah.
04:57Okay, we arrive on Cabrera at 0900 local time.
05:01From there we get taken to the island of Dragonera.
05:04The village is called Cala Escondida, designated prime location.
05:08There's a lot to take in, so I suggest you make a start.
05:22Oh, son.
05:30Wow.
05:38Amazing, isn't it?
05:50Mind below.
05:58The thing about Roger Trevithick.
06:01I replaced him.
06:05Only one time, back in 2020.
06:07His wife was having a baby, it was premature, and he had to rush off.
06:10And I just happened to be there, so all I had to do was answer his phone,
06:13which didn't even ring, and so that was that.
06:14But then I went on file as Roger Trevithick's replacement.
06:18How was the baby?
06:19Yeah, the baby was fine.
06:20But the thing is, I just got stuck on the list in HR.
06:25Roger Trevithick's replacement.
06:26I get, like, memos.
06:28I mean, there's one time I even got tickets to Japan, and I'd email him.
06:30I'd say, look, look, I'm not Roger Trevithick's replacement.
06:34So?
06:34So I'm not Roger Trevithick's replacement.
06:37Oh, great, Tim.
06:41Tim.
06:42You're Tim.
06:43Don't talk to me.
06:44And I didn't show you anything.
06:46Yeah, but what do I do?
06:47I work in transport.
06:48I just booked the taxis.
06:49All troops has admitted to the taxis.
07:03All troops, as of now, the Mediterranean is hostile territory.
07:22Village evacuated. Order established at 10 kilometers, sir. This entire coastline belongs to us.
07:52They hung in far away from the village like they were scared of, even in death.
08:07The entire nation is in progress.
08:22The entire nation is in progress.
08:27The entire nation is in progress.
08:33Colonel.
08:39General.
08:42Quite a sight, isn't it?
08:45Caught five kilometers off the coast.
08:48They shot it dead, but then thought they could make money out of it.
08:51Hold it up, the monster from the deep.
08:59We saw it online, declared it a hoax.
09:01Flew in from Madrid, sealed the place off.
09:03But it's quite a find.
09:05It's the first time we've seen one exactly like this.
09:10The mythology and superstition, we call them sea devils, but you're better than that now.
09:16Let's say, uh, Homo aqua.
09:21We think their species branched off from tenus londyls, which means the correct name is homospondyl erectus.
09:27I say Homo aqua, because that's what it looks like.
09:31Do we have a sex?
09:33Difficult to say.
09:34The genitalia suggests reptilian cloaca, richest found on both male and female.
09:40What about the neck?
09:41Was there a pearl?
09:43Plain and simple.
09:47Nothing artificial.
09:49Calcium carbonate.
09:5160% tarragonite.
09:5340% calcite.
09:55Then I suggest we return it to its rightful place.
09:59Every time we find a creature like this, we find the pearl.
10:05It might be simple decoration.
10:07Mankind has worn pearls ever since God knows when, but every pearl gets analyzed, and we found nothing.
10:13No technology, no inscription, but still, doesn't signify a caste or a belief or identity.
10:22The pearl is always located at the base of this road actually embedded in the skin.
10:31We think it's a place there at birth.
10:34It goes back at least 2,000 years, sir, the use of pearls as jewelry.
10:39It's said Cleopatra removed her pearl earring, dissolved it in vinegar, and drank it in front of Marc Antony.
10:47Could be useful to file that.
10:49Ready for the deep scan?
10:51Yes, sir.
10:53Yes, sir.
10:54Corporal Morgan, you can join the team here and liaise with Sergeant Brock.
10:57Thank you, Miss Soho. I think your team can stand out.
10:59Yes, sir.
11:00Breno.
11:01Pack it up.
11:02Yes, Sergeant.
11:03Yes, Sergeant.
11:04Uh, bring in the, uh, cases there.
11:06Yes, sir.
11:07Okay, I'm ready.
11:21Let's go!
11:22Yes, sir.
11:23Yes, sir.
11:24Okay.
11:25No, no, no.
11:26Let's go!
11:27Don't
11:34No, no, no!
11:35Charge them up.
11:37Charge him up.
11:51Copy, sir.
11:52You're welcome.
11:53Cheers.
12:03I just wonder what they're doing here.
12:04I mean, it's a pond, the Mediterranean.
12:08It's got no depth.
12:09January 2020, there was an avalanche underwater,
12:12lasting two days off the west coast of Africa,
12:15spreading over 1,200 kilometers.
12:18Massive event.
12:20All hidden under the sea.
12:22You think it was them?
12:23It severed communications cables,
12:26which I think is significant.
12:29They're waking up.
12:31Now the world is two-thirds water.
12:33It's us against them.
12:51Well, I think they heard that.
12:55What was that, sir?
12:56A translation pulse.
12:58We said hello.
13:02Oh, my God.
13:13Well, can we use our phones yet?
13:32No.
13:43No, no, no, it's a true story.
13:57That's why people die.
13:59A most common domestic accident, they fall downstairs, break their necks.
14:03So what are you supposed to do?
14:04Well, you go like this.
14:05As you fall, you starfish, yeah?
14:07It jams you into the stairwell, you stop falling.
14:09But who is going to remember that?
14:11You're falling.
14:11You don't think, what do I do?
14:14What kind of fish?
14:15That's the point.
14:16No one remembers.
14:17So you die.
14:31Anyway, right, do you take sugar?
14:33No, thanks.
14:36Whoa.
14:37What the?
14:38What?
14:39What's all this?
14:39What's wrong?
14:40Muddy boots?
14:41Something's leaking.
14:41I don't want to blow you out.
14:42Careful.
14:43Is it chemicals?
14:45Whoa.
14:46All right.
14:48What is it?
14:49I don't know.
14:50I don't know.
14:54I don't know.
14:55I don't know.
14:55I don't know.
14:59Hold on to me.
15:03Come on.
15:05I can't.
15:07I can't.
15:07I can't.
15:07I can't.
15:08I can't.
15:08I can't.
15:08I can't.
15:09I can't.
15:09I can't.
15:10I can't.
15:10Oh.
15:10I can't.
15:11Hey, guys.
15:12Please.
15:12Help.
15:13We need help.
15:13We need help.
15:13I don't know.
15:43What's happened?
15:54We have to decontaminate, sir.
15:55But tell me what's happened.
15:56I'm sorry, sir, you'll be able to see once you...
15:57Captain, tell me what's happened!
15:59They've gone, sir.
16:01What do you mean?
16:03Everything's gone.
16:03Who was on duty?
16:16Corporal Morgan and Private Abdullah.
16:18Then where are they?
16:19Then where's that thing?
16:21We were just seconds away.
16:23They can't have got far.
16:33Hold on!
16:37Keep the area clear.
16:38But they've stripped the place spare.
16:40Where did everything go?
16:41Who was on duty?
16:42Corporal Morgan, Private Abdullah.
16:44Please report your location.
16:45We can search the village, sir.
16:49Corporal Morgan, Private Abdullah.
16:52Please report!
16:59Corporal Morgan, Private Abdullah.
17:03Corporal Morgan, Private Abdullah.
17:20Please report your location.
17:29Corporal Morgan, Private Abdullah.
17:33What's that?
17:50Huh?
17:52What are you, sir?
17:53What are you, sir?
17:53What are you, sir?
18:03It was twenty-eight.
18:17I wanted to say sorry.
18:18You had to see that.
18:20You got the wrong one.
18:21That was your first death.
18:22I'm sorry.
18:23No.
18:24I'm here by mistake.
18:26Okay?
18:26I haven't got clearance.
18:29I'm grade ten.
18:30I work in transport.
18:32I'm a clerk.
18:33You were meant to have Roger Chubivik, right?
18:35I've just ended up here by mistake.
18:37I shouldn't be here.
18:38Are you saying you're here by accident?
18:44Yes, sir.
18:48And that, I suspect, is how history is made.
18:53One great big chain of mistakes.
18:55But still, the unit protocol states, at times of historical or cultural or political impact,
19:04a member of the civilian staff must stand alongside the military as witness.
19:09And they could not be more civilian than you.
19:14Too late to turn back now, Barkley.
19:18Welcome aboard.
19:19Typical military intelligence.
19:27I got a first-class degree and did intensive training at St. Andrews for three years to get here.
19:32You blundered in by mistake.
19:37Yeah.
19:40I'm the one who orders the cars and finds cheaper lorries.
19:45But I met the doctor once.
19:49No way.
19:51Last year in the tower he said hello and then he...
19:53Then off he went.
19:57What was he like?
20:02Just like...
20:04He's vivid.
20:06You know?
20:10It's just this tiny little moment that...
20:15I think about it every second of every day.
20:19That creature, what was it?
20:28The Unified Intelligence Task Force was created to deal with alien life forms.
20:35But this species is an alien.
20:39They're from Earth.
20:40They were here before us.
20:42What did they die out?
20:47They hibernated.
20:50Underground.
20:50And this was when the Earth was...
20:53Young, because the planet reformed around them and sealed them in.
20:56Sometimes proof is found and we hide it.
21:01What for?
21:03Think about it.
21:04They were here first, millions of years ago, so the planet belongs to them.
21:12Technically, we inherited their world.
21:15But if they're not dead...
21:18What if they want it back?
21:24What's exciting?
21:26We're at night.
21:27We have a life force.
21:29Let's go.
21:30We're at night.
22:00That could be your testimony if we get killed.
22:01If we get killed, what?
22:02At my command, arms down.
22:31How are we on translation?
22:35Aligned and running.
22:37Three, two, one.
22:39Ready to calibrate, sir.
22:41As soon as it talks, we can capture the sound.
23:01Running translation, sir.
23:10We are calibrated, sir.
23:12Ready to go.
23:15My name is General Austin Pierce.
23:27And I represent the Unified Military Task Force of the Combined Nations of the Dry Lands of Earth.
23:33And I welcome you into Diplomatic Concord.
23:43Concord is a big concept.
23:44Sorry, can we think of another word, please?
23:46Meeting.
23:48I welcome you into this diplomatic meeting.
24:03You killed us.
24:04Oh, God.
24:05Oh, no.
24:06You then took two lives.
24:10And now, I suggest we start.
24:15Agreed.
24:16I hope we can meet in peace.
24:31Agreed.

36:58Then the first gambit is to trust them, Colonel.
37:01Open the doors.
37:03Activating airlock pumps.
37:05Airlock at full capacity.
37:18Decontamination in progress.
37:20Oh, my God.
37:38Oh, my God.
37:40Oh, my God.
37:41I'd say homomorphosapiens.
38:11Or to simplify, homo amphibian.
38:17Amazing.
38:20They killed two of us, remember?
38:22We killed them.
38:24That's what this is for, to bring peace.
38:28Ready with translations?
38:30I'm running, ready to go.
38:33Sir Jonathan, good luck.
38:41I bid you welcome, on behalf of the human race.
38:50I stand here as...
38:52We do not need translation.
38:54Did we learn their language?
38:57No, we did not.
38:58Save the comments.
39:00Well, your... your English is excellent.
39:03I'm going to read you as a kid.
39:06That's Russian.
39:09I'll play it old man.
39:15I'll play it old man.
39:17I bring you greetings from the United Nations of this world that we call Earth.
39:22It's a symbolic title of Indo-European origin that bears no disrespect to the oceans, seas, lakes, rivers and waterways around us.
39:31And I bring you a gift.
39:35Rhododendron nivali.
39:37The dwarf snow rhododendron.
39:40A flower that grows at the highest point on planet Earth, on the slopes of Mount Everest, four miles above sea level.
39:48Perhaps never seen by your kind.
39:50Now, it carries a scent, or a flavour, an essence, that you will have never known before.
39:58Would you...
40:09This is given with respect.
40:11And the hope of peace between our species.
40:20We have a gift for you.
40:23My children.
40:35My children should have been born at the turn of the third cold current.
40:41But they choked on your oil, and poison, and excrement.
40:48Skip to sixteen.
40:49Sir Jonathan, go to sixteen, paragraph ten.
40:54I must state, with vigour, that we recognise the problem. Our solutions are remarkable.
41:01We do not know you.
41:02Well, I... I am ambassador, Sir Jonathan Hines.
41:08You are not known to us.
41:12We would speak... with him.
41:15With him.
41:22Me?
41:24Who the hell is he?
41:25Well, he's... nothing. He's no one. He... he's part of the team. He's the witness.
41:31He's the mistake. He was there by mistake.
41:33Give me intel on him. Now!
41:35Yes, ma'am.
41:36Right away, ma'am.
41:37Uh-oh. Sorry. No, no. You... you... you got the wrong man.
41:42You showed respect.
41:44No, that's just... that's just a thing. It's... it's... it's...
41:57You respected... our fallen kin... when no others did.
42:02What are they, Christians now? Someone tell me what's going on.
42:06I'm not even religious. I don't know what to do.
42:09But we saw your kindness.
42:13And we see you.
42:18Will you stand as ambassador?
42:21And talk on behalf of the entire human race?
42:24Will you stand as ambassador?
42:29Okay.
42:54Will you stand as ambassador?
42:56To your right?
42:57Will you stand as ambassador?
42:58No, that's not.
43:00No, that's not.
43:01No, don't be cropped.
43:02No, that's not.
43:03No, you're right.
43:05But we know what's going on.
43:06No, that's not yet.
43:07I'm not.
43:09No, that...
43:11No, that's not yet.
43:13No.
43:16No, it's not yet.
43:19No, no, no.
43:21You have anything in the power.
43:24You
