You said you heard how
I stopped breathing.
Listen, Pete,
you need some sleep.
Do yourself a favor
and take those pills.
I wanna speak to Ferris.
- Ferris isn't here.
- Where is he?
We had a cut, I had no gas.
I was out of it
before the explosion.
Just try to relax,
we'll figure it out as soon as...
There's nothing to figure out!
We know who controls
the breathing gas.
That's not true, I kept
my eye on the breathing gas.
Then what do you think happened?
You inflated the plug
until it blew up.
Because I passed out!
Explain that!
- This conversation is over.
- Explain it!
Petter? My condolences.
You want Knut's briefcase?
Trond?
Trond?
Ferris?
I'll talk to you later.
Where is Trond?
He's not on board.
I sent him home.
- Why?
- This touches everybody.
Trond as well.
Look, Pete, we can have
the best technology
in the world,
we can take every
precaution in the world,
but still...
mistakes get made.
Don't they?
Listen to me, son, nothing's
gonna bring your brother back.
Speculating, pointing fingers,
that's not gonna do
anybody any good.
Not Maria, not Martin,
and certainly not the project.
There's a hell of a lot at
stake here, you understand me?
I'll take care of the press.
Jeger!
Jeger! Hi.
- My condolences.
- What's the directorate
gonna do?
I don't understand, eh...
About Trond Edvardsen.
He screwed up the breathing gas.
- If there's any ambiguity...
- That cut should never
have happened.
We're going to investigate it
thoroughly. I promise.
Look here.
Call me anytime.
This isn't what I ask for.
It's not what I want.
No, I understand.
So what are you gonna
do about it?
Mortal accidents are
complex events.
The supervisor disagrees.
I know what he thinks.
I made no mistakes.
Well, let's see what
the police have to say.
Maria!
Here.
It needs new batteries.
Unscrew the bottom.
- I'll get by.
- It wasn't my fault.
It was an accident, okay?
Hey! I wanna see the recording
from the accident.
The video tape.
I'd love to show it to you.
- But there isn't any.
- "There isn't any"?
Have you erased it?
There wasn't any tape
in the recorder.
- You expect me to believe that?
- Ask Leif, Ronald, Ferris.
- I'll ask Jrgen. Where is he?
- On sick leave.
Sick leave? Why?
- I guess he's ill.
- Just let me see the tape.
Shut the f*** up,
you have nothing to
do with this.
Petter.
You overinflated the plug.
You can't change that.
Hey! Jrgen!
Hi.
- Trond says you're sick.
- I've been a bit off.
You're not sick.
You're working.
I'm feeling better now.
Has someone told you to
keep your mouth shut?
Jrgen! Answer me.
Why won't Trond show
me the tape?
- What are you talking about?
- What happened?
I don't know what you're talking
about. I had a cut!
You heard it!
Jrgen!
Jrgen?
Jrgen! Hey!
Jrgen!
Hey!
- Something's wrong with Jrgen!
- Another seizure?
Hi. I need a word with Leif
about Jrgen.
- He gets seizures.
- I know he's on...
Did he get one in the bell
while monitoring the gas?
I don't know anything
about that.
- Are you back?
- No.
Leif? Hi.
How long have you
known Jrgen's sick?
What's wrong with him?
Health is a private matter.
His dad says he's had
several seizures.
I need to do another
EEG test on you.
Because?
Because it's my job.
Has Jrgen taken another test?
- Leif?
- Yeah.
Did you know Jrgen
was sick when you sent
him down on that dive?
- It wasn't my call.
- What do you mean?
Ferris would
like to talk to you.
- Leif...
- Now.
Ronald, I'd like to see
Jrgen's EEG test.
Rats seem to stand pressure
better than us.
Okay, Jrgen's EEG test...
See? Normal.
I need a copy.
Staff medical information
is confidential.
It belongs to Deep Sea Diving,
they co-funded the project,
so...
Pete, please,
if there was something
wrong here, I would tell you.
Honestly.
Tests like these are...
They're really open
to interpretation.
We also judge divers
on their performance.
It really comes down
to how you feel.
- So, how do you feel?
- Fine.
Hey Ronald?
Ronald?
Are you there?
You can read stuff into the
tests, like Leif did.
- You can find anything.
- It says that Jrgen's ill.
They're normal.
Only Leif sees the connection.
What connection?
Jrgen's sick.
Yeah.
But medically speaking,
these charts don't say so.
It's Leif's interpretation.
You sent a sick
diver down there.
No one knew he was sick.
Leif obviously knew.
He wrote the conclusion
in hindsight.
This is a bad time for
you to get fired.
They're preparing a
new test dive.
- I won't dive now.
- You have to.
The Petroleum Directorate
needs to keep
one Norwegian diver
in the program.
- Thank you.
- Thank you for meeting us.
We need to talk.
- Do you have an appointment?
- No.
- Talk to my secretary.
- I've something to show you.
The police are doing
what they can to...
Jrgen manned
the bell at the time.
He's sick.
It says so here.
- Isn't this confidential?
- Just take a look.
I can't interpret this. Can you?
I think he caused
my brother's death.
He gets seizures. I've seen it.
- Have you shown this to anyone?
- No.
Okay, I'll follow it up.
But we need
to conclude the
verification dives.
The mission isn't over yet.
I won't dive until I know what
happened to my brother.
Right. I understand.
- Hi!
- Hi.
- Uncle?
- The police called.
They did?
Hi. It's like this:
Jrgen Heimland has taken
responsibility for the accident.
He admits that he shut
the wrong valve in
the diving bell.
He did what?
Could you repeat that?
He cut your breathing gas.
- Okay. How's that?
- Human error.
But was it a seizure?
The report doesn't mention
any seizure.
You don't know what happened?
You can file a civil lawsuit
if you want to.
- No.
- Why not?
I couldn't bear it.
- What does the report say?
- It says what I just said.
- Is Jrgen here?
- Jrgen's gone to Spain.
Tell him I wanna talk to him.
You all right?
What happened?
You tried to kill me.
That's what happened.
Couldn't avoid you.
You broke into me.
You flipped that car
on your own.
- Who asked you to steal these?
- What?
These EEG tests.
Was it Leif?
Where's mine?
I want mine.
- Where the f*** is mine?
- Why do you want it?
'Cause that sh*t could
end my career.
You know your friend, Leif?
He's a f***ing hack.
He says I'm
neurologically damaged.
Petter? I need to talk to you.
What are you doing here?
Were you here earlier?
What do you mean?
We need to talk.
Just look at the boat.
What are you doing here?
I'm gonna find out
how Knut died.
Okay. And you think
I've got the answer?
The gas Ronald's given you
contains a secret component.
And the goddamn Americans
won't say what it is.
I made him stop using it
at the research center.
But they call the shots at sea.
So Knut promised to help us.
With what?
He was gonna take a sample
of the American gas in the bell.
- Didn't he tell you?
- What are you saying?
What sort of bullshit is this?
