1 They say we know more about space than the oceans.

-You think they're bite marks? -What's gonna bite an orca?

What happened to the lobster?

She threw it away. Down the waste disposal.

-What's that? -Ice worms.

It looks like you've stumbled on a new species.

Smack in the middle of Hovedstad's fields in the Norwegian Sea.

If the worms, or anything we discover, proves to be environmentally sensitive,

it will be in my report.

Hope the reason you're not answering

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

Miss you.

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 Symons poem. -Oh, you do?

Let me show you.

Well, just be thankful I didn't read it to you on a gondola.

What's all this?

Breakfast. Popped down 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 as well, if you want them.

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 fishing trawlers in the same area.

The Norwegian Coast 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?

Our blood contains cells which consume the Vibrio ,

which is why an infection is so rarely fatal.

But in this case... C'mon, have a look.

The Vibrio is consuming the blood.

At an astonishing rate.

Yeah, 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 brownish stripes of 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 eighteen 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 you run a test?

Sure, Leon.

I'll add it to the list of other 9,000 things I have to do today.

Anything else?

Actually, there is.

I'd like to do an autopsy on the orca at the beach.

I thought you said it died from its wounds?

It attacked a boat for no apparent reason.

So did the whale which attacked the Lady Wexham,

and the tugboats towing the Barrier Queen into harbor.

I want to see if there's a contaminant load impacting the whales' behavior.

-Leon, we're short-staffed as it is. -I can do it myself.

You've never done an autopsy in the field.

But there's gotta be a first time, right?

I can ask a couple of the 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 are your responsibility.

He had some plastic in his gut,

but his stomach or bowels were free from any 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'll run a full range of blood tests to make 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.

Go ahead, go ahead. Stop.

Okay.

Hey!

What the hell?

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, no, no, it can't be airborne.

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

Then how?

-The garbage disposal. -Sorry?

The mae d' in the restaurant said the lobster went down the garbage disposal.

The Vibrio vulnificus ...

it's in the water system.

Ladies and gentlemen, we ask you to remain calm.

We are here and will...

-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. Okay?

C飩le, 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? -You're not safe either.

That's what I'm trying to say.

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 at all.

Okay? Only use disinfectant and bottled water.

Understood? When you get there, boil some water.

-No showers, no baths. -But I don't even have a license.

-What if the cops stop us? -They won't. Plus, you drive very well.

And Dad is on his way, he'll meet you at the house.

Okay? Don't worry, he'll be there.

When will you get there, too?

As soon as I can, sweetheart.

Be nice to your sister and help her, okay?

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

Okay, go.

Are you really coming?

-Or are you just saying it? -Of course I will.

Come here.

Call me as soon as you get there.

-Okay. -Promise?

Come on.

-I love you, Louis. -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, 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 have been allocated thirty 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 offshoot 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.

Is it 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 worms found in the Norwegian Sea

with the ones we discovered, you'll see they're a bit larger,

but have the same articulated jaws, same sharp, elongated teeth.

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

How serious 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 where the ice worms were found.

Aside from Hovedstad, who else knows about them?

It is just a matter of time before word gets out.

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

He doesn't work for Hovedstad, if that's what you're asking.

So he says.

I have no reason not to believe him.

Nor do I, but I think it would be prudent to find out.

-Hey. -Hey.

-How'd it go? -As expected.

-But you saw Riku Sato? -Oh, I did.

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

-This one's good? -Yeah.

Whether or not he'll help us... who knows.

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

And you think it's in his interest?

Aito Mifune invested in the biotreatment of polluted environments,

including the ocean, before anyone was even talking about it.

Right, right.

Well, you know,

saving the world is every billionaire's favorite pastime, right?

Long as it doesn't trim the bottom line.

It is 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. No, you're right. Can we talk about something else?

-Sigur, I'm trying to help. -I know you are, and I appreciate it.

So why are you being so...

-So what? -So difficult!

'Cause I...

'Cause 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 going to 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: When you called me, was it 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, Hovedstad, listen.

Yeah.

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

Excuse me, can I have the check, please?

-I'm going to bed. -Good night.

They found the Juno, Charlie.

Did they find anyone?

No.

They think everyone was still on board when she went down.

Professor Lehmann approved the 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.

And 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 have seen it before.

This is the migration route.

All the attacks are happening along it.

So if something's 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.

I 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.

C'mon!

Hello?

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

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

I am extending the same to you.

You've found the worms?

- We have, yes. -Where?

On the continental slope of the southeast coast of India,

the Nankai Trough and the South Chinese Sea.

-How widespread are they? - I'll forward you what we have.

There's something else I'd like to ask you.

Of course.

The permit Hovedstad was granted by the Norwegian government

for exploration of oil, gas hydrates, minerals.

Yeah?

Did Ms. Lund show it to you?

No, she did not.

Can I ask you why you're asking this?

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 is for processing material they bring up from the seabed.

-Can you get any closer? -They might engage if we do.

Risers that size, they'll be bringing up

8,000, 10,000 metric tons per ship per day.

-Hey. -Hi.

I spoke to Riku Sato.

And they found the worms.

-Where? -South China Sea.

South coast of India, off the Nankai Trough.

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

which could destabilize 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 do a little tartare for the staff.

Do you want some?

-Yes, thanks. -Salad?

-Please. -Yes.

Sorry about that, Sigur.

No, it's alright. Do you want to talk some other time?

No, no, it's fine.

Yeah. Could you 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.

Here you go.

That was close.

Why do you do this to yourself?

What?

Work like this.

-Can't you stop and enjoy things? -I'm already doing that, Kare.

Everybody is always so focused on the future.

Preparing, making plans.

The way things are going, who the hell knows what that will be.

Or if there even is a future.

So I just say: Fuck it.

Live in the moment.

The world is going to do what it wants.

We only get one life. May 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're sure?

I am.

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.
