Pioneer Page #3

Did you find a gas sample

in Knut's briefcase?

I'd know it if

he was taking a sample.

Ronald's drugging you

with that gas.

You wobbled around

like a drunkard.

That's why you passed out.

- Jrgen's taken the blame.

- He'd never turn off the gas.

Listen to this.

Listen to Knut's voice.

He didn't pass out.

What's that?

The tape from the accident.

Trond said there

wasn't any tape.

Trond?

I took the tape.

- Okay, you can turn it off now.

- It's enough now, Petter.

Petter, stop it!

I'm stuck here!

Petter?

Knut has no problems

with the gas.

- You were on the same feed.

- Shut the valve, Petter!

Knut! Petter!

- Report, God damn it!

- Petter? We've lost contact!

Find the gas sample,

and I'll reveal who did this.

Lift it up and get this

part in there. That's it. Great!

Martin? Remember

the flashlight I gave you?

Yeah.

- You know where it is?

- In a suitcase.

- Your suitcase?

- I think so.

- Where is it?

- In my room.

What's that?

It's a gas sample.

Leif?

Hello?

Hello?

...it has imposed on

the individual freedoms

of the people...

Leif?

Leif?

Leif?

Leif?

Leif?

Leif?

Leif?

Hey!

Hey! Hey!

Hey!

Leif died as a result of

a morphine overdose,

according to the police.

The medical examiner

has yet to verify that.

But, um... I know at least

some of you are aware of the...

courageous efforts that Leif

made to battle his addiction.

In fact, he was supposed to be

in rehab this week.

Unfortunately he never

checked himself in.

For obvious reasons,

the family would prefer

that the manner of his death not

become a matter

of public knowledge.

I found Knut's gas cylinder.

It's up to each one of us

to help protect

the colleague's reputation.

Let's observe a moment of

silence in memory of our friend.

Leif Lindberg.

You want me to test it?

Hm?

You want me to test it for you?

It's empty.

I have to know what's in

that goddamn gas.

If I go on the next dive,

bring back a gas sample,

will you test it when

I get back?

No, after everything you've

been through, you need a break.

Besides, you're not prepared.

These boys have been training.

- Of course I'm prepared...

- That's my final decision.

Maria, do you have a...

To the right.

There are no

Norwegian divers left.

That's why you have to go.

The Americans refuse

to let me dive.

Who's stopping you?

The diving physician. Ronald.

- What's he saying?

- That I'm not prepared.

That I'm not fit. I don't know.

The pipeline will

come ashore there.

The Americans think

they've won the contract.

That they can just open the tap

and help themselves.

You'll make a good supervisor.

That's not what I want.

I wanna dive.

I'm talking about

your future opportunities.

When we start pumping the oil.

Of course you'll dive.

It's not up to the

physician to decide.

Are you ready?

I'm going back to work.

I'll be back in three weeks.

That's exactly what Knut said.

Let me show you something.

You can turn it off now.

- Petter! Turn it off!

- Shut the valve, Petter!

You hear me?! Shut it off!

What the hell is wrong with you?

Hm?

I have to find out

what happened.

I have to understand, get it?

- I don't need to know.

- But I do!

That's why I have to

go down there.

I'm sorry about

your friend, Leif.

We all get what's coming to us.

Petter? For you.

Hey, missy.

You're a scientist.

Inspect this.

You recently lost your brother

on a similar dive.

How does that affect your work?

I think he'd have wanted me

to go on diving.

I don't really think

it's affected my work.

Excuse me?

Dr. Lindberg called me.

Leif?

The day before he died.

Wanted to talk

about the accident.

- Anything else we should know?

- No, not that I can remember.

Do me a favor and call me

if you remember anything.

Be careful about what

you say to the press.

- What?

- You heard me.

The gas sample

you're taking in the bell.

Give it to Pia

as soon as you're back.

- What are you talking about?

- Don't try to get smart.

Hey, Pete,

think you're ready for this?

What?

- You ready for this?

- Yeah.

You don't think so?

Slow... perfect.

Petter is going first, Mike.

F*** you he's going first.

My f***ing record, sir.

This is not

about your record, Mike.

We're here to prove

that we can build the pipeline.

- It's all right.

- No, it's not.

He can take Phil with him

and I can tend the bell.

Please just do

as you're told, guys.

This is bullshit.

Open gas supply, divers.

Gas open.

Come on, Pete,

pull yourself together.

Begin to pressurize.

- Trond?

- Yeah?

I don't feel too good.

I'll switch places

with Philip, and man the bell.

Phillip,

you'll have to do the welding.

I knew you weren't ready.

Okay, guys...

...give me an update

on the welding.

Guys?

Still there?

Mike?

Okay.

How long do you have left?

Should be done in an hour.

Okay.

You ready for your photo,

pin-up girl?

That's why you're here, right?

To celebrate all the work

we've done for you?

Is that Niagra Falls

or are you just happy to see me?

- Hi.

- Hi. I couldn't get the sample.

Why not?

I didn't have time.

No room for it.

- Welcome back. How've you been?

- All right.

How did Jeger know

about the sample?

Who do you think I work for?

To build the pipeline ourselves,

we need the American gas recipe.

Were you going to

give me the results?

Yes, of course.

- Mike? Mike?

- Yeah, man?

You know where Ronald is?

I don't know. Downstairs

or something?

Petter... Petter!

If you have the sample,

give it to me now.

You risk your life

if you keep it.

You risk your life

if you keep it.

I don't have it.

You leaving?

I've proved what they

hired me to do.

I got a sample of

your breathing mix.

- Where?

- Tell me what's in it first.

I can get someone

to test it for me.

And I will go public with it.

It's a secret,

it's how I make my living.

By drugging us?

Let me show you something, Pete.

At the depths at which

you boys need to work,

the nervous system

is affected by the pressure.

You need an anesthetic

to work down there.

- Anesthetic?

- Drug.

Call it whatever you like.

You need something to overcome

the effects of that

pressure sickness.

Have a look.

I want to explain to you

why you need an anesthetic.

Without it, you'd collapse.

We're just past 500 meters.

The big glass has

no anesthetics.

Which would you rather be?

I collapsed on your drugs

and my brother died

because of it.

You blacked out,

but not because of my gas.

I know what happened, I saw

the tape, Leif showed it to me.

Think about it, Pete,

no one else fainted, only you.

Jrgen was fine and so was

your brother until you

passed out

- and caused the explosion.

- Jrgen's a mess.

Yes, both you and Jrgen

are clearly affected

but not Mike. And Mike's

been on my gas more than anyone.

What does that tell you?

Why did you take him out

of the pressure chamber then?

Because I didn't want

to expose him

to Leif's misguided experiments.
