Lili...

Pick a card.

I know all your card tricks.

I got a new one.

For you.

Come on. You're an idiot.

An idiot who likes you.

Very funny.

Ever since we were kids.

You never said.

I'm saying it now.

Me too.

It's just a crab.

They like you.

Mesuli...

Run, Lili! Run!

Come on!

It would've happened fast.

In water that cold...

Whether they were on deck, or below...

It doesn't matter how fast it happens. Nobody drowns quickly.

Your mind panics first, trying to process what's happening.

Your senses in overdrive.

And then fear...

you think it can't be happening.

And then you realise it is happening.

You try to fight it, you try to stop it,

even though you have no power over it.

Seconds slow down, to...

not minutes...

To nothing. Time no longer exists.

You pray.

To something.

Anything, and...

maybe something listens...

But maybe it doesn't.

No matter what, it's not fast.

It's an eternity.

The recovery effort is still underway.

We're hoping to bring them back.

All of them.

But it's not easy.

All I can say right now is that we are trying to do everything

to make that possible.

Of course.

I know that.

But I want you to know that

your daughter was one of the brightest students

I had the pleasure of teaching...

Goodbye.

Professor Lehmann?

I'm heading back to pack up the station, secure it for the winter.

I just wanted to say goodbye.

I know how difficult this must be for you.

These things mark us.

They stay with us.

Change the way we see the world.

Charlie.

Get out there.

Don't hide.

What helps is the other people.

Their support. Call me when you get there.

I will.

There are no known sources of bioluminescence

capable of creating a sustained glow like the one we saw.

We've seen bioluminescent plankton change the colour of entire bays.

At the surface, yes.

But not as deep as that pod dove.

What about that sound?

Ever hear anything like that before?

No.

Could it be a distorted whale call?

It has similar structural characteristics to whale song...

repetitive, rigid.

But I've never heard one like that before.

What?

Nothing.

Sounds like you have something to say.

In the Cold War, the government tested all kinds of weapons.

Planes, helicopters, flying bombs...

So what do they do to keep people from finding out?

They leak confidential memos about UFOs in America.

The public becomes obsessed with aliens,

not stopping to think the government is just doing practice runs,

right in front of them.

Prepping war machines before they fly over some far part of the world,

and wipe them off the map.

Point is, sometimes you have to question these things.

Because you better believe they're expecting you not to.

People died, Jack.

Real people died.

People you know.

You're telling me what exactly?

That the military did this?

That the government got whales to attack tourist boats and tugs?

I'm not telling you anything.

All I'm saying is that sometimes, something is going on.

The evidence to date suggests

transmission is limited to contaminated food

and drinking water,

possibly person-to-person contact...

Is it airborne?

It doesn't seem to be, no.

Does it respond to drugs?

We've tried every drug known to work against previous strains.

Tetracycline, third-generation cephalosporins, imipenem.

Nothing works.

For the moment, the only course of action is containment.

You should put out a warning against drinking, washing,

having any contact whatsoever with water that is not boiled or bottled.

And all fishing off the Atlantic Coast should also be suspended.

Dr Granelli, I'm sorry, but do you understand what you are asking for?

The disruption such measure will cause?

The economic impact...

If this strain of vibrio vulfininus continues

to contaminate water systems,

the economic impact will be far more severe...

Yes, but Dr Roche...

You do not know for certain that the situation will worsen.

You are merely speculating that it could worsen. Right?

In all the years I've been investigating pathogens,

this is the most deadly ever discovered.

If we have learned anything in recent years,

it's that the consequences of not acting quickly,

decisively, can be fatal.

And I would not want to be the person, elected or appointed,

who didn't listen to the experts this time around.

-Hello? -Isabelle?

-Yes? -Why didn't you call?

I tried 20 times. There has been no signal for ages.

I was worried.

We're okay. Don't worry.

How's Louis?

Not happy, Dad's making him do schoolwork.

Good. Sounds like everything is okay. Don't tell him I said that.

Don't worry.

When are you coming?

I don't know. I can't leave right now. It's impossible.

It's getting worse?

Yes.

But as long as nobody touches the water we will get through this.

How long is it going to go on?

I don't know. That's what we're trying to figure out.

I love you, Isabelle.

I love you too.

Altimeter is picking up the seabed, Captain.

You wanna check these?

Make sure we have the right coordinates?

Yeah, good to go.

Take us down to 67.30 north,

8.65 east.

And then head downslope bearing 322 degrees,

to 67.31 north, 8.63 east.

Approaching target waypoint at 67.31 north,

8.63 east.

What the fuck?

Hovedstad had a ship in this area the last couple of weeks.

Yeah...

and now you know why.

You knew?

No. But I suspected.

-How? -Sato.

Sato?!

Mifune knows a shareholder in a company

which manufactures seabed mining equipment.

Hovedstad ordered its equipment so they could test it.

Hovedstad's permit is for exploration of oil and gas hydrates.

It includes pipe-laying.

-For oil and gas. -No...

You saw what they did!

Everything is torn up. Everything is dead!

As far as the eye can see.

Does it look like pipe-laying to you?

No, of course not!

-And why didn't you tell me? -Because I needed to know.

-If I had been lying to you? -Yeah.

I was afraid you'd try to stop me coming back out here if you had.

You really think I'd let something like that happen?

That I'd knowingly turn my back to what we just saw?

It wouldn't be the first time.

How dare you?

What?

Not trust you?

Not think you would drag me into this charade of a research mission?

Only to be taken advantage of, again?

How many times do you want me to apologise for that?

Once? Twice? A hundred times?

-God knows it's been more. -So I should just...

I should just let it go then... Huh?

I should pretend it never happened?

We were different people back then. I guess I thought we'd...

Forget it?

Moved on.

Yeah, well so did I.

Yeah...

For what it's worth, I don't think Tina knew.

How could she not?

The permit includes "installation technology" preparing the seabed.

For burying pipelines for oil and gas,

which is done with the same trenching tools they use

to mine the sediment on the continental slopes.

I read the permits, Sigur.

And unless you were looking for it, it would have been easy to miss.

And if you go public with the story,

they'll find a way to claim the permits cover mining tests as well.

If they can't, they'll find someone to blame,

someone Hovedstad decides is expendable.

-It could very well be Tina. -Tina?

She recommended you.

She convinced Hovedstad to bring you in.

If they want to throw someone to the wolves, who better?

So what do I do?

I don't know how many times I've asked that same question.

All the different reasons I came up with not to do something

when I saw something wrong.

Rahim and the other young ones are right.

We didn't do enough.

We wrote papers and reports for all the right causes.

And then...

we walked away.

And we left the real work, the hard work, to others.

Yeah.

But before you decide anything, you should talk to Tina.

I'll try. But after what I said...

-Apologise. -Apologise?

Yeah, sounds so easy when you say it.

The harder it is, the more likely she is to accept it.

After first coming ashore in South Africa,

the crabs have made landfall in Rio de Janeiro, Okinawa,

Mumbai, and Tangier.

Invasion of crabs have become increasingly common

due to rising sea temperatures.

But attacks of this scale are unprecedented.

Turns out we weren't the only ones who came across the new mussel.

The mussel on the right was found in Madagascar,

at the harbour at Taomasina.

The one next to it, in Asunción, Paraguay.

And this one, in Lake Victoria, Uganda.

The lab sequenced the DNA of all four.

They have the same genetic barcode sequence.

What are the chances of finding a new species

in so many different places at the same time?

I can't think of a single instance.

There's something else...

I ran a test on the clot found in the brainstem of the whale.

And compared it to the white substance

leaking from the mussel from the Barrier Queen.

I found a handful of organic compounds common to both.

Some are pollutants.

But they are appearing in lots of marine species.

In whales, and in other mammals.

-But not in mussels. -Not in mussels, no.

The sample from the Barrier Queen is very fragile.

It decomposes as soon as it's exposed to air...

But if you can get me another sample, I can run a few more tests.

Name and ID, please.

Leon Anawak, Vancouver Island Marine Institute.

I'm here to see Clive Roberts.

I'm sorry sir, this is now a restricted area.

Please back your car up, sir.

-I met him the other day. -Back up.

This area is off limits.

I won't tell you again.

Oh shit.

Hey! Hey you!

Oh, fuck.

Hey!

-Shit! -It's someone there!

Freeze!

Answer us!

Okay.

Don't shoot.

On your knees. Hands behind your head.

Is that really necessary?

You want something to drink? Coffee?

-Please. -Could we get a couple of coffees?

Want to tell me what's going on?

Am I under arrest?

Not if someone doesn't press charges.

I called you about getting another sample.

-I couldn't get through. -That's no reason to jump a fence.

Someone wants to talk to you. We're getting them on the line now.

Just tell the truth.

You're in enough trouble already, you don't want to lie to anyone.

Okay.

Just to be clear, you returned to the Port of Vancouver because...?

I needed another sample of the mussels

which I picked up the first time I was here.

When we examined it, we discovered several features

not seen in other species of molluscs.

We also found a substance we hadn't seen before.

We couldn't run a full battery of tests

because it deteriorated so quickly.

But...

But we're pretty sure it's a new species.

A new species unique to Japan? Or Vancouver?

We believe the Barrier Queen picked up the mussels in Tokyo.

We haven't found them in these waters...

but they've been found elsewhere.

And not just in the Pacific.

You can understand our desire to contain this threat to shipping.

I do.

So if you could send me the information about other locations

-where the mussels have been found. -I will.

And any new locations you might hear of.

As well as any other information you think we should know.

Sure.

Mr Sato...

I promise you I didn't come here to cause trouble.

You made that very clear Mr Anawak.

And on my part, I am sorry you felt you needed to do something so rash

to get the sample you needed.

In the future, we'll make sure you get everything you need.

What do you think?

He's holding back.

He's afraid.

Clearly. But he could also be hiding something.

A new species of ice worms,

mutated mussels,

both of which present a clear threat to shipping.

It can't be a coincidence.

Heard you had a rough night.

Yeah.

Wanna talk about it?

I screwed up.

-It happens. -They pulled a gun on me.

You broke into a secured facility.

Just to get a handful of mussels.

Leon, think about it.

What do you think they saw?

A PhD candidate from VI?

Or some First Nations kid looking for something to steal?

You've got to be more careful.

I should have told Dr Oliviera to send someone else.

-Why? -What do you mean?

-You just told me why. -I told you to be more careful.

That comes as news to you?

No.

But it's different when it happens to you.

First time a cop pulled a gun on me, I threw up.

all over his shoes.

The guy was so disgusted, he let me go.

I couldn't get away quick enough.

You feel safe here, I get it.

We all do, around our own.

But what you'll have to figure out,

is who's going to decide how you live your life?

You?

Or the people who wanna keep it small?

voicemail

Hey, Rahim it's Dad.

Your mum tried to call you at your sister's birthday.

We would love to see you and Max soon.

Take care.

Oh, God.

Talk to you soon.

-Thank you. -Take care, now.

Hello?

Hey. I was just passing, saw you were back.

Thought I'd say hi.

Come in.

Okay.

I think I have some tea...

Maybe milk, if it hasn't gone off...

Sounds lovely.

Whoa. Maybe not.

I'll take mine black.

Good choice.

How long are you back for?

Depends.

On what?

How long it takes me to pack up the station for the winter.

Well, I'd offer to give you a hand...

not if it makes the work go faster.

Then I won't ask...

Good.

How's that tea doing?

What's up with you?

Hey?

You're through to Tina Lund.

Please leave a message and I'll get back to you.

Tina, it's me.

Call me, please. It's important.

-What's up? -Thinking about the sound we heard.

And I'm wondering if anyone else picked up on it.

In the Pacific or anywhere else in the world.

We could check the Sound Surveillance System.

I could reach out through the World Oceanographic Commission.

Maybe they'll put us in touch with organisations

that monitor ocean sounds.

What do you think?

I think it's a good idea.

And it's got me thinking.

This is going to sound like a stretch, but...

I met someone who I think you should try and contact.

Her name is Dr Samantha Crowe, astrophysicist.

She might be able to offer some less conventional thoughts.

I'll see if I can track her down.

What time is it?

Just gone five.

Mackerel are running, I've got to catch the high tide.

I'll bring you some.

No, you won't.

Go.

There's coffee...

Hi Charlie. It's me, just checking to see you got back safely.

No news from this side.

I'll be working late, again so you're not going to bother me,

so give me a call. Bye.

Charlie. Thanks for the message!

Thirty...

How did that happen?

Wish you were here to soften the blow.

We could re-live some of last year's madness.

Maybe not. Considering...

Anyway, hope the reason you're not answering

is because you're with that hot guy from the boat.

Miss you.

Charlie. Thanks for the message!

Thirty...

How did that happen?

Wish you were here to soften the blow.

We could re-live some of last year's madness.

Maybe not. Considering...

Anyway, hope the reason you're not answering

is because you're with that hot guy from the boat.

Miss you.

Miss you.

Miss you.

Miss you.

Miss you.

Miss you.
