All language subtitles for The.War.Between.the.Land.and.the.Sea-S01E04-The.Witch.of.the.Waterfall

In the words of a great man, we can be
heroes.

Let's save the world.

Well, you know, this place is
incredible.

I thought I'd know you. I'm not gonna
know you.

I've known you forever.

The tides have drawn us together.

If Homo Aqua want a war between the land
and the sea, we'll take the sea. This

kind of rhetoric is irresponsible. If
you're trying to keep the peace, you've

already failed.

Welcome to our domain.

The word severance may not seem to you.

Coldy Matthews going back and forth.

Your war is lost.

Stand down building.

Code red.

Target building opposite.

India House.

Estimate floor 35.

Squad 3, stand down building. Squad 4,
India House. Emergency comes from the

diplomatic zone. We have an event. What
does that mean?

A sonic pulse.

What does that mean?

Integrity lost.

Jane, please, what does that mean?

They're dead.

All comms through me. Register Shirley
Ann Bingham now in command.

Options one to five schematics
installed.

All stations on red alert. Tell me, what
do we know?

Shirley, do we know who he is?

Apologies, ma 'am, we don't know.

And I'm sorry, but we have a major
incident in progress.

And we're getting news from military
sources.

I'm sorry, this just coming in to us at
5am GMT, but it's just been confirmed

that there has been an underwater
explosion at the site of the diplomatic

meeting. It's assumed that all human
diplomats have perished and their

efforts have failed.

This represents a major escalation in
the war between Homo Aqua and mankind.

An Homo Aqua ambassador has issued a
statement claiming responsibility for

deaths of the H2O diplomats.

What? This is a warning to the human
race.

Your diplomats are dead.

Their blood and marrow now feed our
children.

The same fate will befall anyone who
dares to enter our waters.

The time for diplomacy is over.

Our borders are defended and forbidden.

The water of the world will never be
yours again.

Is that real? Could be a deep fake.

Then find out.

We have a visual on the target.

It wasn't Saul.

I swear to you, I'm a witness.

The device was exploded by Ted Campbell.

Theodore... Campbell.

Okay? He was...

They all died.

They were crushed.

Right in front of me.

One second flat they were gone.

Can I ask?

How old was the man?

28.

If it's any consolation, it must have
been instantaneous.

No, no, no, they knew.

That second... I'm sorry, they knew.

OK. You told your family you're safe.
The most important thing now is for you

get back here.

Thank you for being in touch with my
dad.

You shouldn't be here.

Mr Pietropont, there is one fundamental
question.

I'm not sure I did.

You were lucky.

That was a very long night.

Yeah.

We lost, um... We lost many good people.

Did she survive because of her?

Yeah, she... Yeah, she held me. I don't
know how or why.

You do know that Brooke is a fake,
right? I mean, for God's sake.

She's here with us. You took her on
board. She could have escaped. She had

whole ocean, but she didn't. She stayed
with me.

Now you've got her on lock and key. Why
don't you just talk to her? We'll do

that on dry land.

All right. Well, let me, let me talk to
her. I'm afraid that's not possible.

You have to remember.

Five people are dead, and that happened
on Aquacine territory.

In the eyes of the world, she's taken
responsibility.

And the names of the diplomats killed in
the undersea explosion have now been

confirmed. These include unit staff
captain Louise Mackey.

I don't suppose there's ever going to be
a body.

Don't think so.

That sketch pad.

She was always drawing.

Why should I take this?

Sergeant Lake, you can pass it on.

Louise's mother lives in Kirkholdie.
I'll take them.

I'll visit her mother in person.

In Kirkholdie?

When are you going to find time for
that? She died under my instructions.

I will find the time.

Give us ten minutes.

Any word from Undersea?

He's gone quiet.

And you're going to need a personal
guard.

I'm not going to be followed night and
day.

Kate, someone tried to kill you, not
Christopher.

Oh, we've identified the assassin.

Here he is.

Miklos Konstantinos.

Born in Athens, 1985, relieved of
command from the Hellenic Army, 2010.

Crops up the mercenary with pro -Gaddafi
forces in 2011.

Gone for hire.

But one of the best.

He's been invisible since 2019.

If there's any connection to Libya, it's
possible that he would...

So the question is the

question is

Who hired him?

Well, this is nothing to do with us.
Please tell me this is absolutely

to do with us. We'd never be so stupid.

If I wanted Kate Lethbridge Stewart
dead, I could do it in a blink of an

You will watch your tongue, sir.

That woman served this world in ways we
can never imagine.

But still, we might be in trouble.

We have links suggesting this man was
employed by the Institute of Las

The same people who sent Ted Campbell on
his mission.

Ted Campbell had stage four pancreatic
cancer. Happy to give his life for the

Institute. But who are the Institute?

A private think tank founded and
supported by billionaires. And their

are clear. It's a great replacement
theory.

Terrified of Omoakwa replacing mankind.

But they are literally nothing to do
with us. That explosion, there is no

connection to us, not in any way, shape
or form.

Is there?

I can close the Institute, going in with
force within two hours. Hand them over

to Unit, case closed.

Lethbridge -Stewart is safe.

But one problem remains.

Campbell was an associate of Sir Keith
Spears, your greatest donor and your

good friend. Yeah, but he's not part of
anything.

He's an idiot, but the man's a clown!

No, but the problem is he invested £100
,000 in the latter Clementi Institute in

2015.

I don't imagine we're connected to the
explosion, not for a single second. Too

much of a coward.

But the authorities will find the link.
And if they investigate Sir Keith...

He's part of Severance.

He automatically creates a link back to
us.

Oh, my God.

Exactly.

We're connected.

It's, um, unlucky.

Keith Spears is a major investor in the
privatized water companies. A lot of

people blame the water companies for
provoking the ocean.

So, Prime Minister, all I need to know
is, do you give me permission to deal

with this?

With no connection to me.

With no connection to you.

Oh.

They'll look after her.

Where are they taking her?

Unit tower.

She'll be safe.

They said that to us.

Look at you, boss.

Come on, show some respect.

Mr. Ambassador, I was saying to the
boys, two weeks ago, he was sitting in

office, signing off my overtime.

Now, you're on TV.

I said to the boys, I hope he's getting
paid.

Yeah, no, I'm good. I'm good.

Yeah, I'm okay. You know.

Are you sure you're all right, though,
boss?

Because I was kind of mad. They said you
was right at the bottom of the sea.

It was, um... It was crazy, yeah.

And she's in there?

The fish?

Yeah.

She's sushi, mate.

It's kind of offensive, mate.

Oh, no, but come on.

She murdered all those people. She's
going straight to the lab and she's

to be sliced and diced.

I'm going to get back to work, actually.

It's night about now.

Give me the keys, I'll move, all right?

No, I've got this.

No, I know you have.

But I can do it.

Just give me the keys, yeah?

Are they firing me on this? Yeah, but
who clears the signatures? That would be

me.

Come on, who's the boss?

He told me to give him the keys.
Barclay, what are you doing?

Barclay, stop it! Get out of there!

Hey, come on, man. Don't get me in
trouble. Come on.

Get down. Get off the truck.

Barclay, this is not the solution.

Now step down, and I promise you we can
talk this through.

We can talk with Salt, okay? Just look
around.

There's no way you're going to get
through us.

Like you're going to shoot me in front
of the press.

Like you're going to drive right through
them.

Yeah.

He said I was going forward.

Go down to the river.

Spread out. Get me boats in the water
now.

Sorry, Mom, we've got a problem.

Fucking bloody Piers.

Stupid name, DuPont.

Breaking news now with reports that the
only survivors of the H2O tragedy are on

the run.

Oh, my God, he jumped.

He actually jumped. Why did he do that?

Is Barclay DuPont a collaborator? It
certainly looks that way.

The Americans have taken down the
Institute so it looks like you're safe.

And if you don't stop work, I'm going to
phone your daughter and get her to

carry you out.

She's in Dubai.

Did she know about you and Crystal?

I thought no one did.

So what is worse, we were all very happy
for you.

I'm so sorry.

I'll sign off.

Where will you go?

Oh, hotel.

I just need to get out.

I'm sorry, ma 'am.

Morris was asking if we should look into
this.

Oh, it's a... It's an act of terrorism.
That's the police. Nothing to do with

Earth.

No. Wait.

That's the gate.

Yes, ma 'am.

And with that, good night.

There's the trigger of the Thames
barrier. We've got lifeforms, ma 'am.

lifeforms? Incoming straight from the
channel. Good evening, everyone. Nice to

be back.

Nine lifeforms in total heading in our
direction.

We call delegate staff and security to
the Empress Hall. Priority one standby.

Everyone on maximum alert.

Who's the ambassador?

Sir Jonathan is 40 minutes away. I'm
trying Admiral Tavares, but there's no

reply. I'll do it.

You're exhausted. You won't have time to
stop.

Are you saying I'm unfit for duty?

Yes. Noted.

Sweet homo aqua form and one life form
that's brand new.

Homo amphibia, male presenting, body
muscle index 22 .4, blood pressure,

rate both strong, cortisol and
adrenaline upscale.

He's a warrior.

My name is Kate Lethbridge -Kewitt,
Commander -in -Chief of the Unified

Intelligence Task Force, and I stand
before you tonight on behalf of the

of the Earth with a divine... Why are
you all insane?

Right. You came to our world and killed
yourselves

to make everything that is happening
worse.

Why in the name of the waters would you
do that?

Why, you beasts of such insanity.

Page five, paragraph two?

No, go to page six. Try page 22 from the
top.

I, uh... Oh, here we go.

She's gone rogue.

Even better.

I can only say that if you study the
culture of this world, the thousands

of years of fiction and stories and...

Science and philosophy, and not one of
us, can answer your question.

We are a species whose intelligence is
running so fast, it's a thousand years

ahead of our emotions, and that causes
us to stumble and fall time and time

again.

And I'm sorry.

I accept that response.

And I'm addressing Ambassador... My name
is a wave on the current through the

coral and the sand.

But you might call me Tide.

Ambassador Tide.

Now, where is she?

Who? Ambassador Salt.

I can't say.

She is your prisoner.

Technically.

You must understand, I ask this not in a
bid for her freedom.

Then... What do you want? She chose to
save a human life and left Aquakind to

die. We were murdered while she helped
him. Salt has transgressed against the

laws of our nature and the fate she must
suffer exists under the sea, not upon

the land.

Now I demand to know, where is she?

You lost her.

With his help. What is it that binds
these two together?

We are trying to find them.

But the problem is, Ambassador, if you
intend to punish her, I can't hand

her over.

Then yet again, we are at war.

You're something of a warrior yourself,
and yet full of despair.

Despair that is new.

I lost someone.

You will strive to prevent losses to
come.

Because we are tired of waiting.

And if we have to escalate the war
between us, then we will.

What does that mean?

You have met salt.

You have met tide.

Beware our third ambassador.

Rust.

Because water is not confined to the
seas. Water is in the air.

And we can make a weapon of that water
to create... Rust.

Eating at your cities and cars and
missiles until it brings your

down from run into death.

These negotiations are over.

You will find salt. You will return her
to us. You will advance the plan to

change your world.

Within five years. That's impossible.

Make it possible.

One more thing.

Yes?

Change the name.

The name of what?

Earth.

Too dry.

Oh, we got owned.

We got rotted.

We need to find Dolph.

We've tested the samples, but we've
never tried severance on an adult Homo

amphibian. But they're leaders.

They're the prime species.

If we can use salt, I can end this war.

I reckon I got dysentery.

And E. coli, and probably leprosy,
because that river was filthy.

My neck.

Oh, it feels like it's been snapped.

What are you doing? What are you doing?

Glass is fascinating.

Can you imagine when we woke and saw
this world with all its structures?

All right, well, just mind your feet.
I'm going to get a cup.

You're always so scared.

Yeah, I am.

I'm terrified.

You won't die.

I cleaned you of protozoa.

I took your breath.

And my gill filtered the dirt.

It's amazing.

You do know you saved my life down
there.

When you kissed me. Is that what you
call a kiss?

The pressure of two orifices seal
together in order to preserve a

shield for the maintenance of your lung
capacity.

Oh, no, no. That's looking sexy.

Ah.

It is a good neck.

Mm -hmm.

Strong. Yep, yep.

You should possess ill -formed lamellae.

After all, you already have very good
fins.

Is that a joke? A joke? That was a...
That was a joke.

I mean, well, we're just on the run.

People from both our worlds chasing us,
and she developed this fancy humour.

I am liberated.

Come on, come on, we're supposed to be
hiding.

It's alienation, do you not?

No.

under the water to you and your family?

We meet at random and spawn in our
thousands.

But we're capable of more.

We have happiness.

We have anger. We have love. We have...
Oh, we have the water,

Barclay.

We live in the water, of the water, for
the water, with so much passion.

We must look like apes to you.

I mean, we are apes, clodding about on
the land like, um... Well, like apes.

You've been to the stars.

You've mapped entire galaxies in the
sky.

We never did that.

Maybe we were too proud of the water.

Maybe it weighed us down.

If you went back, what would happen?

What would they do to you, Aquacon?

I would swim alone.

Right, but not, like, executed?

Worse than that.

I would swim alone, forever, in the
vastness.

Like a shark?

A shark has a soul that is dead.

I would live with a dead soul.

I think you understand that.

There's a loneliness in you.

Yeah.

You people are so constructed.

You apply fabric to your bodies, leather
on your feet.

And you walk in the air with such
pomposity.

But underneath, you burn with animal
heat.

Your creatures of fire and doubt and
envy and fear and

laughter and lust.

We watched you for so long under the
sea.

We could feel you burning on the land.

I think we would have always found you.

Because your heat is irresistible.

Is that fear?

What?

Your heartbeat.

Racing. That's not fair, exactly.

Your heart is clamoring now.

Yes, yes. Of course my heart.

And my head.

Because we were going to die eight
kilometers down.

And I've got this ringing noise in my
ears and this pain. And when you created

that hyperbaric thing, everything just
felt so much better when you pressed

lips against mine.

I find you unique.

I really thought your skin was going to
be cold.

I can regulate my body for you.

Yeah, I'm sort of regulating my body for
you too.

So I see.

Is that okay?

It's wonderful.

The name I chose was appropriate because
you taste of salt.

Well, you taste of, um... I don't know.

Horizons.

Are they searching for us?

The whole street is on red alert, so
yeah, I reckon they're looking for you.

You work with the army.

Is there no one you can trust?

Oh, my lot's tough.

They're beyond the army. They're beyond
the police. They're, like, at the top,

and if you disobey the rules, you
vanish.

The woman in charge.

Yeah, that's Kate Lethbridge -Stewart.

She's a good soul.

Yeah.

How do you get to her?

You don't have to stay with me.

You could just... swim away.

The moment I enter the water, they will
know.

They will find me.

And they will punish.

Okay, uh, options.

So, we need to... get out of the city,
right? Because everyone's a red

alert, and it's, like, lawless out
there. You're public enemy number one,

I. We're gonna get shot in the street,
so we need to find her.

I mean, ah, hang on a minute, we could
go North Wales, because I know some

people there, and I know this guy there,
and he's done, like, five years in a

regular army. I mean, he hired us, he's
off -grid, he's nuts, but at least if we

can get there, we can work out what we
can do next, and then, then, then, then,

we can get a message to Kate, because we
can talk to her then, we can try.

I can live in the north of Wales.

Ah, gorgeous, yeah, it's got lakes and
waterfalls, it's beautiful. I could live

in lakes and waterfalls.

I could be the witch of the waterfall.

Yeah, you could be the witch of the
waterfall. I just... Oh! Live with me in

waterfall.

But how would we get there?

Both the land and the sea are closed to
us. Yeah, my phone's probably tapped.

The minute I make a call, they're going
to know where we are. I just... Did I

mention to you that it's lawless out
there?

Come on, just calm down. It's all going
to be okay. I just want your phone,

mate. Okay, stop moving. Stop trying to
run away.

She will eat you alive, mate. She will
eat you like they make an outright

monster.

There you go.

Oh, hang on.

What's this?

There you go. What have you got on that
face? Look. Smile for the camera.

Thank you for your services to King and
Country. If you tell anyone about this,

she will find you at midnight. She'll
eat you. Go on, then. Off you pop.

We're a good team.

Shall I hiss again?

No, we're done.

So, they are definitely going to be
monitoring my family phone, but Kirby

got his second phone in secret, because
Barbara, that's my ex in fiction reading

Kirby's text, says they're not old
enough, which drives Kirby mad, so I did

dad thing on the slide just to buy
favours, and I got Kirby a second one.

Okay.

Oh, my God.

Don't say my name.

I'm fine. I'm fine. I am so fine. I am
okay. But I haven't got much battery on

this phone.

Where are you?

Listen, we've got to be really careful,
love.

Okay? Because they might have wired the
room. They will definitely have wired

the room. So you've got to be so
careful. I just need to speak to mum.

She's asleep.

Okay. Just tell her to call me back on
this number. But just tell her to call

from the bathroom.

Okay? Just... Tell her, do not talk in
public. Have you got that, Kirby?

Are you with her?

I am, and it's good.

I swear, I... I love you, Kirby. I love
you so much.

Please.

Hey, love.

What is it?

Are you okay?

So, I need to borrow the car.

But I promise you, you'll get it back. I
mean, you might not get it back.

I'm straight away, but you will
definitely get it back. I just need to

of the city.

And you're with Donald?

Yeah, I'm sure I need to protect her.
Trust me.

Please, it'll all make sense. Now,
listen, they can't stop you leaving the

hotel, but you will need a permit to
drive across the city in the car at

So if you go to my stuff, there's a
little leather folder with a zip on it.

you know what I mean?

I've got it.

You've got it, right. So in there is a
permit.

It's like a white card. It's got red
around the edges. It's got a U in the

middle of it. If you just... Put that in
the windscreen. That will just get you

through anyway.

Um, but where do you want me to meet
you?

Well, listen, most of the roads will be
closed off, but you can get through

Festival Bridge. Is that good in, like,
30 minutes? I mean, we'll be coming from

the south side. You and her?

Look, I promise you, I swear, she's on
our side.

Oh, for God's sake. It's Barclay, ma
'am. It bloody would be.

One hour's sleep. Thank you, Mr. DuPont.
Now what have we got? He made contact

with his family. One day viewing
festival. Bridge, 20 minutes. Captain

is taking us on from the north. That's
less than a kilometre from here. You

Barclay. He trusts you. Go.

We've got Captain Kamalo in Mercedes.

He's moving in to give us coverage from
the south.

And this is Barclay and Salt.

Barclay and Salt, ma 'am.

SE -18XT, grid 44556.

You have full authority.

Get me the amphibian. Move, move, move!

Well,

I've got confirmation.

Not now. The Dalton confession is a
deepfake, just like we thought.

It's coded.

Last clemency.

She never said those things.

Look, the video is fake.

She's innocent.

Where have you got?

Sorry, control.

I've got nothing to the south. Well, we
had Captain Kamalo covering the south

approach. Where's Captain Kamalo?

Not getting a reply. Everything's on
quiet south of the river.

What do you mean, quiet?

Captain Kamalo, can you report?

Captain... Lock them up. Get them out of
here.

Target sighted and Captain Kamalo
retained.

Hold your positions.

Barkley, run!

It's a trap!

Run! Go, go, go!

Go,

go, go!

What the hell are they? General
Gunsberg.

He's intercepted our commissars.

General, this is a unit operation.

You will withdraw.

Complain to Geneva. We have a war
criminal on British soil.

General Gunsberg, we have proof. Thorpe
is not a criminal.

We'll have to examine that proof. In the
morning, right now, we have a murderer

in the woods.

Barkley, stay where you are!

Both of you, do not move!

You will both walk towards us.

You are prisoners of the British army.
You will surrender to us.

General, you do not command British
troops.

Whitehall has given me authority.

We have a civilian on the bridge.

Private

Collins

to Sergeant Abrams. We don't actually
need her alive.

Her body is all we need.

I can't let you do this.

Unit troops target soldiers.

North access, grid 49.

What?

Go to the river! Go to the river!

Open fire at my command. On my command,
fire at will. Those are British soldiers

on British soil. You wouldn't dare.

You'll wait a long time, General, till I
get away. Hey, don't!

On my command.

You will never swim alone! You will
never swim alone!
