"Water and marble and that silentness...

which is not broken by wheel or hoof.

A city like a water lily."

"Less seen than reflected.

Palace wall and roof...

in the unfruitful waters motionless.

Without one living grass's green reproof.

A city without joy or weariness.

Itself beholding,

from itself aloof."

Venice by Arthur Symons.

How did...

Do you really think you're the first person to read that

on a bridge... in Venice?

-I know a much better Symon's poem. -You do?

Let me show you.

Just be thankful I didn't read it to you on a gondola.

-What's all this? -Breakfast.

Went to the shop when you were out.

-That's nice of you. -Well, more self-serving than nice.

I saw the state of your fridge last time I was here.

Domestic skills aren't my strong-suit.

I noticed.

Thank you.

Mine. Yours.

Uncontaminated by my bacon, don't worry.

Great.

Bon appétit.

Some beans there, if you want.

-Hello? -We...

We lost the Juno, Charlie.

What?

What do you mean "lost"?

The emergency beacon, it was picked up late last night.

Charlie, are you there?

I'm here...

We just spoke to them, how...

What...

Two other emergency beacons were picked up from...

From fishing trawlers in the same area.

The Norwegian Cost Guard are there.

Looking for them.

Do they think anyone got off before it went down?

I'll let you know as soon as we know more.

As soon as we find them.

-Okay... -Okay.

Vibrio vulnificus?

It's a bacterium

which produces a toxin when it comes into contact with blood.

Usually through an open wound from handling

or eating raw seafood harvested in warm water.

It's most common in the Gulf of Mexico.

So we know what it is.

Yes, yes...

-But? -Erm...

Our blood contains cells which consume the Vibrios.

Which is why an infection is so rarely fatal, but in this case...

Come and have a look.

The Vibrio is consuming the blood.

At an astonishing rate.

It must be some kind of mutation or...

Or a new strain.

We are lucky no one else has contracted it.

There have been other people infected.

I just heard this morning.

-Where? -At a restaurant up the coast.

None of them survived.

It's got a D-shaped shell,

alternating yellow and brown stripes like a zebra mussel.

Two hinged valves joined by a ligament,

but adults are typically fingernail-sized.

This is twice as large.

But mussels can't swim, can they?

They can in the larval stage. Which is how they must have found

and attached themselves to the Barrier Queen.

The ship left on the second and arrived 18 days later.

By which time there were tens, maybe hundreds of thousands of them.

No species of mussels can reproduce at that rate.

I'll send a sample

for sequencing to the bio lab at the University.

That should tell us whether it's a mutation or...

a new species.

Dr. Oliviera?

What is this?

It appears to be some sort of organic material.

Can we run a test?

Sure, Leon.

I'll add it to the nine thousand other things I have to do today.

Anything else?

Actually, there is.

I want to autopsy the orca at the beach.

I thought you said it died from its wounds.

It attacked the boat for no apparent reason.

Like the whale which attacked Lady Wexham

and tugboats towing the Barrier Queen into harbour.

I wanna look for contaminant load which impacted its behaviour.

Leon, we're short-staffed as it is.

-I can do it myself. -You've never done

-an autopsy in the field. -First time for everything.

I can ask a few grads to help out.

Get them out of the lab, out of your hair.

Sure an orca's big enough for your first time?

-No problem. -Fine.

But they're your responsibility.

He had some plastic in his gut,

but his stomach and bowels were free from obstructions.

-You took tissue samples? -We did.

We ran an analysis to check traces of contaminants, PCBs...

-Infections? -None.

His wounds were deep but they were clean.

I ran a range of blood tests to be sure.

But... I did find something I've never seen.

A small clot in the brain stem.

A blood clot?

Not blood.

Any damage to the brain?

-Any sign of a stroke? -None.

Any idea what it is?

It looks like something growing into the brain tissue.

Maybe like a fungus.

And yes, I will add it to the list of tests you want me to run.

Vas-y, vas-y, vas-y.

Stop!

Hey!

Twelve more cases came in this morning.

Anyone who ate or touched a lobster?

No. Or any shellfish at all.

-It must be airborne. -No, it can't be airborne.

And if it were, we'd be seeing a lot more cases.

Then how?

The garbage disposal.

Sorry?

The maitre d' in the restaurant said the lobster went down the disposal.

The Vibrio vulnificus...

It's in the water system.

Ladies and gentlemen, we ask you to please remain calm.

We're here and we take care of you.

-You're sending them where? -To Corbigny.

I... We need to get them away from the coast.

From the water.

Is there anybody at the house?

No, as I can't leave, I'm asking you to meet them there.

Cecile, look, I know that you're concerned...

-Don't do that, Michael. -Don't do what?

Tell me I'm overreacting.

Is it really necessary? That's all I'm saying.

Why don't they come here?

Because you're not safe either. That's what I'm saying.

We don't know how far, how fast it's spreading

and can't until people start getting sick and dying!

-When are they leaving? -I'm packing the car now.

Okay.

-You'll go? -Yeah, I'll go.

The Wi-Fi better be working.

No promises.

Thank you, Michael.

If you have to stop, don't use tap water.

Okay? Only use gel and bottled water, understood?

When you arrive, boil the water. No showers, no baths.

I have no licence, what if the police stops us?

They won't. And you drive very well.

Dad will meet you at the house.

Okay? He'll be there.

When are you coming?

As soon as I can, sweetie.

Be nice to your sister and help her, okay?

I have maps on my phone in case she gets lost.

Okay, go.

Are you coming or just saying that?

Of course I'm coming, Isabelle. Come here...

Call me when you get there.

-Okay. -Promise?

Go.

-I love you, Louis. -I love you, Mum.

I love you, Isabelle.

Love you too.

Dr. Johanson? Mr. Sato is ready for you, Sir.

Wonderful.

Mr. Sato, thank you for taking the time.

Please.

-May I offer you something? -No, I'm good, thank you.

So when did you arrive?

-Just this morning. -Are you here for the conference?

No, no. But I understand you'll be speaking?

"The transformative power of science in the wake of the global pandemic."

For which I've been allocated 30 minutes.

Including questions, if there are any.

I wasn't aware

that Mr. Mifune was interested in medical technology.

It's a recent development.

An off-shot of his interest in

environmental biotechnology.

I understand from Ms. Lund

that you have something of interest to us.

I do.

I was hoping that you might have something...

of interest to us, if this proves relevant.

I understand.

If you could just...

send that along sooner rather than later.

Of course.

It's a challenging time.

It is.

Particularly for those with shipping interests.

The jellyfish in the Adriatic,

the disruption caused by the whale attacks

in the Pacific.

The Barrier Queen is one of yours, yeah?

Not mine. One of Mr. Mifune's.

I run Mr. Mifune's foundation.

Mr. Mifune's other interests are

outside my area of concern.

But you know that.

Well, I've done my research.

So it is true about the Barrier Queen?

That a couple of whales attacked

the tugboats sent out to save it?

That's what's been reported.

I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

My assistant can show you out.

No, I'm sure I can find my way.

Thank you again for taking the time.

It was my pleasure.

Is it the same species?

If you look at the images

and compare the ice worms found in the Norwegian Sea

with the ones we discovered,

you'll see they're larger, but have the same articulated jaws

and the same sharp, elongated teeth.

So yes, I'd say they're the same species.

How serious of a threat do they pose?

The blow-out on the Thorvaldson could be a freak accident,

but we should keep ships clear of the area the ice worms were found.

Aside from Hovestad, who knows about them?

No one. But it's just a matter of time.

The question is, whose interests is Dr. Johanson protecting?

He doesn't work for Hovestad,

if that's what you're asking.

Or so he says.

I have no reason not to believe him.

Nor do I.

But it's best to find out.

-Hey. -Hey.

How did it go?

As... expected.

-But you saw Riku Sato? -I did.

I did. He was charming. Couldn't have been more gracious.

-This one good? -Yeah.

Whether or not he'll help us, who knows?

If it's in his interest do so, he will.

And you think it's in his interest?

Aito Mifune invested in the bio-treatment

of the polluted environments, including the ocean,

-before anyone was taking about it. -Right...

Well, you know,

saving the world is every billionaire's favourite pastime.

As long as it doesn't trim the bottom line.

Is it possible to do both, you know?

-Do good and make money? -Yeah.

Right. I mean, the man's a saint.

I didn't say that.

You're not being fair.

Maybe I'm not. You're right. Can we talk about something else?

Sigur, I'm trying to help.

-I know and I appreciate it. -So why are you being so...

-So what? -So difficult!

Because I...

Because I shouldn't be here.

With you.

Alone.

But I am.

From the moment you called, from the moment I saw you, I...

just knew this was gonna happen, because I want this to happen.

And now I'm sitting here.

Across from you and I...

I can't think about anything else.

So...

I need to know, did you call me just about work?

I wanted your advice, Sigur.

Because I knew you would give it.

And it would be honest.

Fair.

And it would make me, or us, Hovestad, listen.

Yeah.

That doesn't mean I didn't want to see you again.

Excuse me? Can I have the check, please?

-I'm... going to bed. -Yeah, good night.

They found the Juno, Charlie.

Did they find anyone?

No.

They think everyone was on board when she went down.

Professor Lehman approved a mission to find out what happened.

If they find anything, they'll send us the footage.

I'm coming.

-Charlie... -They're our friends. I want...

I need to be there with you.

What's all this?

We've been discussing the reports of the whale attacks.

This is the location of the attack on the Lady Wexham.

These are the locations of the other attacks in the Northwest Pacific.

We're just trying to figure out

if there's a common factor that links them all.

Is it okay if I...

Yeah, of course.

I should've seen it before.

It's the migration route.

All the attacks are happening on it.

So if there's something affecting the whales,

it's happening sometime, somewhere during the migration.

-They're asleep, right? -Yes.

-All of them? -Yes.

-For how long? -Fifteen minutes, tops.

Can't believe I agreed to this.

Come on, kid.

Shit...

-What? -They're waking up.

How many?

All of them.

That's just great...

Start the engine!

Come on!

Hello?

-Dr. Johanson, this is Riku Sato. -Mr. Sato.

In response to the act of faith you extended to us,

I'm extending the same to you.

You found the worms...

We have, yes.

-Where? -On the continental slope

of the southeast cost of India,

the Nankai Trough and the South Chinese Sea.

How widespread are they?

I'll forward you what we have.

And there is something else I'd like to ask you.

Of course.

The permit Hovestad was granted

by the Norwegian government for exploration of oil,

gas hydrates and minerals.

Yeah?

Did Ms. Lund show it to you?

No, she did not.

Can I ask why you're asking?

Perhaps I can send you something?

Please do.

I'll have it sent over shortly.

I won't take up any more of your time.

The ship on the left with the trench cutters is for dredging.

The one on the right processes material from the seabed.

Can you get any closer?

They might engage if we do.

Risers that size,

they'll be bringing up eight, ten thousand metric tons

per ship per day.

-Hey. -Hi. I spoke to Riku Sato.

And they found worms.

Where?

South China Sea, south coast of India,

off the Nankai Trough.

But they didn't find them on the shelf, they found them on the slope.

Which could destabilise the hydrates quicker than we thought, so...

we should get back out there to see how far they spread.

We have some really fresh tuna in the kitchen.

I was going to make some tartare for the staff.

Would you like some?

-Yes, thank you. -Salad?

-Yes, please. -Right away.

Sorry about that, Sigur.

No... No, it's alright...

Do you wanna talk some other time?

No, no, no, it's fine.

Yeah, could you also just send me a map of all the areas

you've surveyed to date?

So I can narrow down the area we might wanna visit again?

Yeah. As soon as I get back to the office.

So... what else did Sato say?

Nothing.

Nothing we didn't already know.

Fine...

I'll clear it with Skaugen, we can head out tomorrow.

Thank you.

Look, Sigur...

About Geneva...

Hey, let's just talk when we get back.

Sure.

So...

That was close.

Why do you do this to yourself?

What?

Work like this.

Can you sometimes stop and enjoy things?

I can, Kare.

People always focus on the future.

They're preparing, making plans.

The way things are going,

who knows what will happen?

Who knows, if there is a future?

So I say, "Fuck it."

Live in the moment.

What will be, will be.

We only have one life.

Might as well enjoy it.

Max?

Max, can you get the door?

I'm half-naked. Could you go, please?

We received the footage from the ROV.

I know you were all very close,

so if you'd rather not watch...

I want to know what happened.

You sure?

I am.

Then let's see what they found.

-How'd it go? -I got it.

-No problems? -Took me right to it.

Do they usually dive this deep?

No.

Never.
