[dramatic orchestral
music plays]

Some of
the most common pathways

of energy production
in microorganisms,

who live along the
hydrothermal vents,

are oxidation or reduction
of sulfur compounds.

The most common electron donor

along the vents is
hydrogen sulfide,

making oxidation of sulfur
containing compounds,

the base of the food
web in this environment.

The microorganisms
capable of oxidizing

or reducing sulfur compounds,

show amazing diversity.

Over 161 gram-negative
sulfur-oxidizing
bacteria species

have been found to inhabit
the hydrothermal vents.

Bacteria in this environment
are often thought of
as all being autotrophs,

but of these 161 species,

over 97% are also capable
of heterotrophic growth.

In addition, 37% perform
fermentation.

Furthermore, the sulfate
reducers known to be present,

include at least
nine different genera,
including gram-negative...

Yeah, I see.

I understand why.

No, to us it'd make
a huge difference.

She'll be out soon.

You had enough?

While most are rod shaped...

They want us on the boat
now for a team debriefing.

Can I get
in the tank next time?

That's dangerous.

Each suit is designed
specifically for

-each aquanaut, so...
-Thank you, Paul,

but you don't have to
indulge her every whim.

Thank you, Paul.

Why do you torture
him like that?

He's too young
to defend himself.

I'll race you.

-No.
-Come on now.

No, I...

I don't like you.

Okay, I just want to go
over the order of the dives,

so that you can
communicate with each other

about who can help log,

as some of you will be prepping
and not available to log.

All right?

We start from here,
so Jonas and Rene are up first,

-Lucky you.
-with Etienne as the pilot,

for the first dive
in the Cadiz Gulf.

Then we're going to
hug the coastline,

going west of Ireland and
Britain into the Norwegian Sea.

There, Gustavo and
Maria are next,

with Frank piloting
around the Faroe Island.

Frank, who is also taking
Annie and Mark down,

here near Iceland where
we'll spend the most time,

and do several dives, okay?

It's a complete reversal,
I'm sorry.

And then,
our deepest dive,

Thumbs and Danny,
are last, around Jan Mayen,

with Etienne as a pilot, okay?

There are definite
advantages in going last.

They're gonna be logging
and not prepping,

and the sub will be tested.

I'm not thinking about that.

Then what's up?

I realized I've never
been lonely before.

Hmm.
Welcome to the planet.

It's possible there's
no service where he is.

He's working in
Northern Kenya, right?

Or he just stopped calling,

stopped being interested.

Impossible.

He's just stuck somewhere
without reception.

For a month.

Yes.

Why not?

Don't go near him, boy!

Next.

The Monk by the Sea is and...

...The Berlin Academy
exhibition of 1810.

What do you got for us?

I have a bona fide source,

willing to give up an to an
operational bomb unit in Europe.

-They want to hit
train stations.

In Southern Somalia.

What's on the
table for the source?

British passport,
we want him.

We'll find him,
we'll get him.

He's my source,
so I'm going there alone.

Somalia is not a good idea, J.

I know.

Check this out.

We are talking about
bombs all over Europe.

If there's even a chance we
can get out in front of that,
we have to take it.

We don't know who they are,
where they are.

Their whole pipeline
of intelligence

and soldiers waiting
to stream in.

You don't even know
what faction is in charge
in Kismayo right now.

Well, I was hoping
you could help me out
with who's in charge there.

Oh, come on, James,
this isn't Afghanistan.

So, how are you getting in?

Small plane.

I'll use my water
engineer alias.

I'll meet my contact
at Kismayo airport.

So, you're mister
water expert and you're
gonna dig up some wells?

In the tooth again,
that's the safest.

Yeah, I'll activate
it once I'm there.
Same as last time.

Don't let them
know you speak Arabic, J.

Guys, do me a favor and
just tell me something

that's gonna help me, would you?

Fuck!

Yeah? Okay.

Wait, we've got
something for you.

Look at the picture.

You must remember this guy,
Yusef Mohamud al-Afghani.

Yeah.

He was with Osama
in 2001, wasn't he?

Yeah, apparently
he's in Somalia now.

We'll get you intel on him,
whatever we dig up.

Give us a few days, J, we'll
contact you on a safe line.

Hey!

Hi.
You came yourself.

For you,
Madame Flinders, of course.

Oh, so good to be back.

Thank you.

Evening.

What kind of whiskey
do you have?

I've got a good Japanese one.

Konichiwa, let's go Japanese.

-I used to.

-Marcel.

-Oh, you know,

-I just broke my neck.
Yeah, stick
that on room 12, please.

-Okay.
-See you later.

Your white wine, Madame.

Thank you, Marcel.

Hey.

Good Morning.

Good Morning.

-British, Scottish British.

Danny, Danny Flinders.

James More.

Will I see you later?
Yeah, I'd like that!

Oh.

I think you're following me.

Or you're following
me in advance.

Tricky.

Mr. More,
the newspaper you wanted.

Thank you, Beatrice.

You're definitely following me.

I haven't even had a
chance to shower yet.

I love the smell of sweat.

-I have to do some work.

No.

Free-living chemoautotrophic

microorganisms at
hydrothermal vents.

We integrated the
analyses of IPL diversity
and delta13C values,

delta13C lipid with
16S RNA gene-based--

Yes?

I've come
to take you to lunch.

It's open.

Carry on, Professor.

How did you know
I was a professor?

I looked at your name
on the letter you
picked up this morning.

What are you a professor of?

Take a guess.

Um...

Nope.

Do you mind turning
it down a little bit?

It's awfully loud in here.

I mean, you couldn't
really hear me...

knock on the door even, so...

Please.

-Wrong again.

Well just, tell me then.

I apply mathematics to the
study of life in the ocean.

You're an oceanographer?

There's no such
discipline as oceanography.

I'm a bio-mathematician.

It's the working of the science
to whatever is in the sea.

Or at the bottom of it.

Precisely.

It's quite rude,
just sitting there, watching me.

Insisting that
we eat something?

I know, it's entirely
unreasonable.

So, what ocean is your favorite?

It has to be that one,
the Atlantic.

Okay.

Carry on.

-The sea.

I feel certain it's going
to tell me all about you.

All right, then, um...

close your eyes.

You're determined not
to let me eat, aren't you?

Close them.

The ocean has five layers.

-Five.

Mm-hm.

-I want you to picture this.
-Okay.

Yes, it has five layers and
the first one is epipelagic.

It contains all the plant
life and coral reefs.

Whatever memory
you have of baptism,

or any other form of submersion,
is there in the blue water.

The next layer,

is mesopelagic.

This is the twilight zone...

into which...

blue and all other
colors and light vanish.

Everything under the
mesopelagic is night.

If you were with me
in a submersible,

that's like
a deep sea submarine--

Is it yellow?

-Of course it is.
-Excellent.

If you were with me
in one of those,

you would have spent
two hours at least,

in the blackness you're
in now, to get down to...

You can open your eyes.

The hadopelagic,

which is what interests me.

Hadal from the Greek "Hades",
meaning unseen.

Doesn't it mean hell?

To some.

This is the other world
in our world.

It's just miles and
miles of blackness?

No one knows much
about the mantle.

They think it has no life,

and therefore no
possibility of reanimation,

and is so without
scientific interest.

I disagree.

It needs to be explored.

What? Excuse me,
what exactly is it that you do?

I-I study--
I collect samples,

from what I think is...

the living bit
of the mantle.

The first few kilometers
underline the Hadal deep.

I believe that all life
and regeneration

in our world belongs to it.

We refuse to value what's
down there because it's dark.

We want to forget there
is darkness in our world,

and...

and to be on a beach
is to be lucky.

-We don't educate ourselves.

Our world is
firstly about power,

it's only secondly
about education.

No, don't worry about me,
just you carry on.

No, I'm just writing down
what you just said

-about power and education.
-Mm-hmm.

-Oh, wow, okay.
-I like it.

I'm actually going down on
one of those submersibles
in a couple of weeks.

I've waited years
for this opportunity.

Come on, congratulations.

Thank you.

What do you do?

I consult on water
projects in Africa, actually.

Hey, we've got water in common.

-The British government.

You live in Africa?

Nairobi.

Do you like it?

I do,
most of the time.

Nairobi gets a bit
treacherous sometimes.

People say it's like
an African river,

you can't see into it,

you don't know where
the crocodiles are,

and you can't see the
rapids coming at you.

But, I tell you,
it's got its own...

luster.

And I miss it,
when I'm away too long.

Wonderful place.

I have a pool.

So you're saying that...

descending to
the bottom of the ocean,

makes us challenge our sense
of self and where we came from?

And that we are not
interested in your work,

because we don't want
to have come from
the scum in the ocean?

It kind of makes sense to me.

-Yeah.

It's caused people to--

When I grow up, everything--

I wanna make a case for my
theory on life down there.

And having been down there
it gets more complicated.

What counts the most is
being published in Nature.

So you're going
to go down there

and you're going to be
surrounded by water,

and infinite blackness
in what, a month?

Yeah.

Are you afraid
something might happen?

I try not to think about that.

Why?

What would happen?

If the submersible
would crack?

Mm-hmm.

Water would come in and
my lungs would seal off,

and I would die a dry drowning
by acidosis and hypoxia.

What would that feel like?

Well, if anything
were to happen,

it would probably just be us
getting stuck down there,

unable to move.

And there's only five days
of oxygen in the sub,

and no one can reach
you down there.

Why?

There's only one of those
deep sea submersibles in Europe.

So I wouldn't drown,
I'd suffocate.

I'd have a lot of time
to think about things.

What's that
tattoo on your arm?

A mistake.

-Yeah, I was.

I was very young, though.
It was just a short
service commission.

This is what
I wanted to show you.

And this is what
I came here for.

There was 5,000
Canadian soldiers,

and a thousand British soldiers
tried to take this beach.

The guns inside that bunker
killed every one of them.

It was an incredible sacrifice.

Hey, hey, hey!

Ah!

Here.

That was cold!

What's got into you,
Mr. More?

You've been talking to me now
for a long time about the world,

and whales and the ocean,

and, Danny, you have barely
used the words I or me.

You've learned to listen
awfully well, haven't you?

Why did you have to
acquire that skill?

Why would you say that
I had to acquire it?

'Cause no one is an
expert at anything,

if there is not a burning
need somewhere to have
that particular skill.

I have sisters.

Would you like
another drink?

-No.
-Okay.

So, what's
your favorite water body,
since you asked me?

The human body.

It's my favorite body,
It's mainly water.

-So much cleverer than me.
-I doubt that.

Africa?

Not really, I--

You're still wet.

And you're not...

wet.

You're chicken.

Chicken.

Are you cold?

Yeah.

The mobile subscriber

cannot be reached.

-All right.

Today is the-the
20th of May.

It's the 21st of May, and--

Be quiet!

Will you go and get the fuck--

I will not be quiet!

No! No!

Are you spy?

Fuck.

I am myself, still...

I'm still James More.

There's no moon.

There's...

only blackness,

like...

like the one that you know,

my Danny.

This is what
we found for you, J.

Yusef Mohamud al-Afghani,

is now indeed
a forward commander

of al-Qaeda in Somalia.

He seems to be running
the show there.

If ever you see him,
you're close.

There's another guy,
James, Saif Al-Husni.

Was a suicide bomber.

Pulled the ring, but the
vest didn't detonate.

PTSD big time,
extremely violent, apparently.

He probably thinks
he'll never die.

He probably wants to die.

Good luck, J,
if you're really going.

Out there in the deep,
there's salp and jellyfish,

whose vertical migrations
are equivalent in scale to...

as if these birds were just
to fly up from the trees,

and go straight up into space.

On a planetary scale,
the birds crawl.

What?

We go to sleep and you're
nervous to meet me over again,
is that what's happening here?

I usually don't see
the person the day after.

I work.

Don't you think I should at
least know something about you?

Oh, I get it,
you want to pry.

-I don't want to pry.

I want to know about you.

About being a soldier,
for instance.

You're going to ask me what
it's like to kill somebody?

-No.
-Good.

Tell me,
tell me anything.

Anything that will
tell me about you.

Then you're going
to go into the sea?

It's getting awfully cold,
and I really think
you should go in soon.

What's the most essential
thing about being a soldier?

Obedience.

Okay.

Death.

It gets very real
when you're watching
somebody die in front of you.

You're thinking,
is this all I am?

Is this all I added up to?

And all the clichés are true.
You're thinking, why now?

Why did it have to be...

this happen before I realize
what life truly is?

It's direct, it's immediate,

and it's their whole
life exposed to you.

Did you think about
your own death a lot?

I did, and I do.

I've heard people telling me
that they've had those
exact same thoughts

when they fell in love.

No, you don't die
when you fall in love.

Have you fallen in love?

I think you should go in
for your swim now.

Time's up, eh?

No, no don't!

No, no, not in my clothes,
not in my clothes!

-It's cold.
-No, don't throw me in!

No!

You are not going
to win me over.

Yes, I am.

That's exactly what
I'm going to do.

Congratulations.

Where did you guys grow up?

Sydney, London, Stockholm,

depending on
Daddy's work, really.

My parents were the ones
who used to take me here.

Danny, do you even
know a poor person?

-Yes.

Oh.

-You.

No, no, no, no, no,
I am not poor.

I can afford to come to a
place like this once a year.

Is it true that
there's oxygen stored

in the micro life at
the bottom of the ocean,

and that one day
it's going to run out?

We shouldn't run out...

if we take the right steps.

I mean, we are entering
an age where everything
will be quantified.

What we see as abundant,
will be limited.

So, oxygen will be like
water and minerals and fuels.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Like oxygen, like...

like air

Like oxygen?

Yeah, if we keep going
the way we're going.

Wow.

That's why I need to
get to the bottom of it.

Was that a science
person's joke

Not everyone can be
as witty as you.

I know, but...

it was rubbish.

Oh, I think I'm slightly
less attracted to you now.

Just look at you.

You mongrel.

Half Australian,

some Swedish,

a touch of English.

Those lines,
are here to stay.

I'm going to remember this.

What if I come and
visit you in Nairobi?

I want to swim in your pool.

Don't, I have 58 minutes.

Read that.

Did you read it?

Just feels like I'm...

reading the same news
all over again.

-It's tough 'cause I...

feel like there's nothing
we can do about it.

We could read about it,
we could get interested.

We could educate ourselves and
get involved in a solution.

How is there a solution
to a problem that has roots

in ancient conflicts,
where religious--

What are you saying,
you don't think
there's a solution?

I don't know.

This is the same
as your work, Danny.

Trying to get people interested

in potentially
life-saving information,

that lies at the bottom
of the sea, in the dark,

so nobody wants
to know about it.

It's the exact same thing.

Get them interested,
educate them,

get them involved in a solution,
and that is amazing.

But this is our world,
too, isn't it?

I don't know if
that's our world.

Oh.

So you can be stupid, as well.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Do you
want your backpack in--

In with me, please.

Okay.

I'm in.

I'm in, too.

Hey.

I just wanted to say
that I miss you already.

I'm going to turn
the car around.

Arretez, can you please
pull over, merci.

No.

-I've stopped the car.
No. Don't.

I've stopped it, I can--

No, I'm gonna go
for my swim now.

Okay.

See you soon.

Nabad, Sharif?

Come with me.

Nabad.

Nabad.

Uh, Sharif?

I came here to meet Sharif.

Can you take me to him, please?

Because of
charity and love,

you should never allow death
to rule your thoughts.

Because of charity and love,

you should never allow death
to rule your thoughts.

Because of charity and love,

you should never allow death
to rule your thoughts.

Because of charity and love,

you should never allow death
to rule your thoughts.

Well, I'm just
used to seeing her

careen between work
and relief from work,

not unlike the rest of us.

Well, as long
as she can focus.

Yes, I mean,
this expedition is--

The one, definitely.

We all feel you are close
to a breakthrough,

that would forever
change the understanding

of the dimensions
of the life on Earth.

Absolutely, we've been
speaking about this.

-We're jealous.

Good.

-Pressure is up.

I know.

The mailbox is full.

Please try to call later...

Danny,
what do you think

the biggest obstacle
to a solution is?

I think it's history,

-how it left them behind.
But "them,"
that's just us

in a different form,
isn't it?

So, what do you
think the biggest obstacle is?

It's the most beautiful
thing about them,

their ability to believe.

You're no troubled man.

Your mind is not troubled.

Your mind
isn't troubled.

You know...

you know where you are from.

-There she is!

Let me have a look.

Up, fool!

Let's go!

Move!
Move! Move from here!

Megafaunal abundances also
showed significant variations,

x2 = 273.42,

df = 5.

With mean areas per image of
N3 = 3.89 in different years,

with an overall increasing
trend over the course of--

I'm on the
ocean floor now, Danny.

We will kill you now.

Our Father,

who art in Heaven,
hallowed be Thy name.

Thy Kingdom come,

Thy will be done--

Get ready!

Ah!

Oh, God James.

Oh man, you shit yourself.

So you're
going to go down there

and you're going to be
surrounded by water,

and infinite blackness.

Are you afraid
something might happen?

Ahh!

Move.

God is great.

There were
also significant differences

in the numbers of
predator, scavengers...

Open your eyes.

Open them!

You're alive.

Good.

Drink this.

Why are you here?

I've told your men,
I'm a water engineer.

I wanted--
I still want to build...

a water system in Kismayo,
I was invited.

Not to do something else?

No, I'm just...

What's your
business with Sharif?

He was the tribal leader
in Kismayo,

and I was going to teach the
water recognition system to him.

How do you know him?

I didn't,
he contacted me.

He did, how?

He got in touch with the
charity that I work for

that installs wells
in refugee camps.

They asked me to
meet him, so I did.

Do you understand that
we are fighting a war here?

I understand.

Then what is this?

It was a mistake,
I was a young man.

-I needed a job!
-Coming here was a mistake!

Do you have children,
a wife?

I'm not married.

Your people rely on me
for clean water.

We shall call you Biyole.
That means water boy.

My name is James.

Do you drink alcohol, Biyole?

Yeah.

Alcohol separates you
from your creator.

Yeah, no doubt.

It is important to me
that you are being treated...

generously.
It is Allah's wish.

Thank you.

We also need a
urine sample from you.

Doctor Shadid.

Open, please.

No hemorrhage.

How does it look, doctor?

Not too bad.

For an infidel.

Breathe, deeper.

-You have a fracture.
-Oh.

It's a primitive diagnosis,
but we have limited x-ray.

This is more serious,
Mr. Water.

My name is James More.

More?

I was told to
call you Mr. Water.

Doctor, I haven't
spoken to my family.

They don't know that I'm okay.

-Can you please
help me with that?
-No.

...across the years.
In particular,

deposit feeders were at
their lowest density in 2007.

-2.50 plus or minus 0.11--

Don't.

I've prepared a dozen samples
for you, minus one.

I'll be all right,
I can handle it.

You sure?

Wouldn't say it if I couldn't.

I looked over the work.

We'll be fine, as long
as you do your part.

I'd be fine if I had
signal at some point.

I mean, we've been out now
in the middle of the ocean,

with no signal,
multiple dives,

and it just...
frustrates me, okay?

Okay.

So you can't reach him.

Why don't you focus on your work
and put him out of your mind.

Cover of Nature.

Isn't that what we
promised each other?

Why don't you look at me,
Danny?

I know all about self-sabotage.

I'm the expert on it.

I want you to tell me now
that this is not
you doubting yourself.

-This is not what this is.
-It's not doubt.

'Cause it deserves the cover,
not just to be published.

Searching for life that may
share the same way of life,

that we may eventually
find in water on Mars?

Possibly proving that
a billion years ago,

the same ecosystems
existed here and there?

You've touched
the limits of life.

You've touched it.

And now we have to wrap
our whole hands around it,

and bring it to the world...

and finish this.

Ifremer, they've partnered
with us, there's a lot at stake,

-a lot of money
has been spent.
-I know, I know.

Now is not the time to
doubt yourself, Danny.

I know.

Good.

Morning, Ms. Flinders.

-Captain.
-Mr. Darren.

Thank you for
coming down, um...

Do you think it would
be possible for me

to go ashore after
the next two dives?

I'm having some difficulties
finalizing my calculations.

You mean go ashore
and stay ashore?

The other teams
don't need you to log?

-I can handle that work.
-And where would you--

We would be in reach
of the Faroe Islands,

after Mark and Annie,
I think.

-Yeah.

I could fly to Iceland from
there and then on to Jan Mayen.

I don't see why not,
if your program sanctions it.

-It does.
-All right then.

We'll arrange a boat
to come and pick you up.

Thank you.

-Mmm.

There should be a ban on
injecting the suicide bombers

with drugs to limit
their ability to think.

They do that?

I saw it, in Mogadishu.

I was really ashamed.

They also do it in Pakistan.

Why are you telling me this?
Why are you talking to me?

You will be gone soon,
one way or the other.

What do you mean by that?

They will not kill you.

Emir Yusef has promised.

Oh, that's good to know.

And there is
no one else here

to talk to
with an education.

So, what should we do
about the wells in Kismayo?

Well, that's what
I came here to find out.

The water is
too expensive for the poor.

Do the local authorities
have control over
all the water sources?

-I do not know.
-You need to find out.

You need to drive out
the water profiteers

by any means necessary.

Wait.

Well, you need
to ascertain the depth
of each well,

and the quality of
the water in it.

So, for example, the closer
a well is to the sea,

the more likely that
water is to be brackish.

You have to find out how
many people are using it,
plot this all on a map.

I can help you with this.

This is what I do,
this is my job.

Already you are.

Here, only the air is free.

Not a day goes by
without a child in my care

dying of some
curable illness.

The people have no work.
They have not enough food.

They have no school
and this is something
we intend to correct.

When it rains,
the mud mixes with the
waste from the latrines.

I do believe with so many people
packed in such conditions,

Somalia will generate
a plague that will
spread around the world.

Cholera?

A new plague.

You're going to
turn it into a weapon?

I am a doctor.

Who keeps company
with killers.

We have cholera here already.

Report it.

-To the United Nations.
-Never.

-Especially UNICEF.

Such an organization
that promises so much

yet delivers so little
to the children?

What is necessary is
to turn the Crusaders

back from the Muslim
lands of Somalia,

so that the people here can
live in a pure Islamic state.

What's more important to you,

treating the women and children
that come to your clinic

and looking for your help,
or

I see both as one treatment.

Medicine is mercy,

jihad is duty.

What about me,
am I a Crusader?

I came here to
bring clean water.

Allah will ask
payment of you.

You said I was
going to be spared.

I need to go home.

I need to go back to her.

Who am I to know
the will of God?

You may die tomorrow.

Or, you may become
a blessed one.

So, how long are
you going to stay with us

on the Faroes,
Professor Flinders?

At least a week,

maybe more.

We found a quiet
place for you,

where you can
get your work done.

Thank you.

Captain's orders.

Is it possible to dock
by any of these rocks?

-Sure.

What are you doing?

I'm counting.

Lichens.

Some of the species
here are very rare.

You think they're shells,
but if you come closer,

they're like tiny trees,
little forests.

And this one here is
the marriage between a...

a fungus and a cyan-bacteria.

If you would magnify the edges,
you wouldn't be able to see,

where life begins
and where it ends.

It just dissolves from...

from life into non-life.

No man is an
island, entire of itself.

Every man is a piece
of the continent,

a part of the main.

"Any man's death diminishes me,

because I am
involved in mankind,

and therefore never send to
know for whom the bell tolls,

it tolls for thee."

Do you keep John Donne
with you wherever you go?

Yeah.

Let me go.

Let me go, please.

I will be killed soon,
I welcome it.

I believe you will
die too, Mr. Water.

Biyole, we will
videotape you soon.

Do you know Bambi, water boy?

I saw it when I was young.

You see, Bambi is
the innocent one.

When you watch the
forest fire again,

then you will see his
father protecting him,

giving up his own life.

It is like the Crusaders who
are burning the Islamic state.

Abdul.

Go.

I want to convert
you to Islam.

And I want you to be
merciful and let me go.

I won't make
a video for you.

I won't sit in
front of a camera

and say the things
that you want me to say--

You're of use to us.

Shadid told me you can
clean water, stop diseases.

You will do important
work for us.

But you are a non-believer.

I want you to meet
with your Creator.

-No.

No.

Allah sees you,

and he's waiting for you
to take the straight path.

We've got Allah
in common, you and I.

The Allah of our
common father, Abraham.

I love Abraham.

And I love his love
for all his children.

And yes, I do believe
that Allah sees me.

Sees us, but...

no.

Who are you to know this,

and reject the Koran?

Hey, stop!

No!

Fuck!

Let's go.

God is great.

Recent geology research from
the University of Cincinnati,

presents new evidence
for bacteria

found fossilized in
two separate locations.

The 2.52 billion-year-old
sulfur-oxidizing bacteria,

are described as exceptionally
large, spherical-shaped,

smooth-walled
microscopic structures,

-much larger than most modern--

You like working
for the MI6, Water?

You have fun?

I mean not now, but in
general, you have fun?

You like the CIA?

I don't know what
you're talking about.

Jihad is life.

Your friends, they
don't care about you.

Jihad is life after death.

So, you're not sorry for
being a Donne-loving Brit

who loves his God and country?

No. No, I'm not.

God save the Queen,
and all that.

I'm not sorry
for that, either.

She'll be ready to go
down tomorrow, professor.

Wonderful, thank you.

Ow.

-Come on!

Let's go.

Be safe, Danny.

I don't want death, Danny.

Not in this place.

-And not for any cause.

I wanna...

I want to be beside you.

We're listening, Nautile.

Nautile to Atalante,
Nautile to Atalante.
Do you read me?

Immersion one, zero, zero, zero.

Understood, Nautile,
1,000 meters deep. Over.

What have you been writing,
if you don't mind me asking?

Oh, it's nothing.

It's just something...

I felt like I needed to write.

Can you read it to me?

"You will be in Hades...

drowned in oblivion,

swallowing water,

erasing all memory.

You will take your place
among the teeming hordes,

of nameless micro-organisms."

Must be bad luck, talking
like this at this depth.

Thank you, Abdul,
thank you.

In 20 minutes,
we'll be landing.

So, I'm just switching
on the main propeller.

Yeah.

And the sonar.

There's a reason
hell is down here.

There's a reason heaven is up
there, I remember that now.

Can we turn up
the lights now?

Certainly.

Okay, I dropped
the second weight.

We're listening, Nautile.

We're about to arrive,
give us our new coordinates.

Navigation reset,
71 degrees north, 45 minutes,

two degrees west, 28 minutes.

You're almost at 3,400
meters now. Over.

Thanks, guys, we got that.

We're close now.

-Careful now.
-Yeah.

Unbelievable.

Amazing.

There's a hydrothermal
vent straight ahead,
just to the right.

Shall we, Etienne?

Yeah, sure.

I'm opening the basket.

And I'll start operating
the arm, and collect.

You can help me, Danny,
direct the camera to it.

Oh, right, sorry.

Can you get the arm to grab
a piece of that chimney?

Yeah, sure.

Okay, here comes Godzilla.

Okay.

We got it.

Here it is,
mission accomplished.

Fabulous.

I so wish I could have
shared this with him.

What would you
have told him now?

I would have told him that,

down here, it's
not photosynthetic,

like everything on the
surface, but chemosynthetic.

I would have told him
that life down here

exists without light,
and that it grows,

because of the
chemical energy just

pouring out of those cracks,
from the core of our Earth.

And he would have
understood that?

Yes.

-I don't know.

Are we all right?

Okay, we need to reboot.

-Yeah, please.

Switch off all the instruments.

-Okay.
-I turn on the emergency
battery, switch on.

Are there any other solutions?

Do we need drop
the remaining weight
and go to the surface?

No, no, no,
we're still drifting.

We can't see anything.

We could float up, hit a chimney
that could fall on us, trap us.

We can't move at all anymore.

Right, let's go through
the sequence again.

We will take our place
among the teeming hordes.

We will be the foundation
for all forms.

We will be in Hades,
drowned in oblivion,

swallowing water,
erasing all memory.

It will be a submergence.

I've thought about
bodies buried at sea.

It's not dust to dust,
that's for sure.

It's water to water.

We are all being made of water.

Like you said.

Because you're a wanderer

who strayed from
the straight path,

the only path to God...

you're not going
to see Paradise.

You know Arabic, Water.

And you read the Koran.

Okay, once more.

On.

Danny, we're on
emergency battery.

We can't stay.

Yes, we...

we have all the samples.

Let's take her up.

Yeah, good.

I'll see you again.

How much threat?

There's multiple targets.
