And it turned out to be

the right goddamn decision.

Your blackouts were

caused here. By Leif.

He took away my gas, the one

thing that could sustain you.

No one can handle a gas

change like that at 500 meters.

You begin hallucinating,

remember the albatross?

That's when you and Jrgen

began having blackouts.

So you're saying what?

That my brain is damaged?

Because of Leif?

Why didn't you tell me?

You sent me down there

and you knew.

You knew...!

I tried to stop you

from going down.

It was hard to

stop you, Pete, you...

You wouldn't listen to me.

Hey, Pete.

Can you hear me?

What?

You've got something of mine

and I want it back.

What do you mean?

You know what I mean.

The gas sample will be

given to Yurig

if something happens to me.

Hey, son, this is

not a negotiation.

Pete, you're gonna sit there

until you tell me where it is.

Where is it?

Take him down again.

Stop! Stop!

Talk to me, son.

- I'll show it to you.

- No.

You won't show me,

you're gonna tell me

where it is,

we're gonna go get it,

and then I'm gonna

let you out of here.

Where is it, son?

Damn it! Down!

It really doesn't have

to be this hard, son.

What do you think you're doing?

If you want to kill him, you'll

have to do it yourself, sir.

You need him alive, don't you?

He's a stubborn son of a b*tch.

- Come and get me when he's out.

- Pete.

Pete, can you hear me?

I'm bringing you back up.

- What about the decompression?

- We'll deal with that later.

If you bounce him

back this fast,

he might not be around later.

- Does he have a pulse?

- Faint.

Check his breathing,

I'm gonna go get Ronald.

We can't bounce him right up.

He's got ten minutes until

he gets decompression sickness.

Hey!

Hey! Don't move. Don't move!

It's me, Petter. It's me.

Petter, give me five minutes.

You can't trust anyone.

Leif...

What did you get to lie?

I didn't do it for the money,

but to help you.

To help me?

How does it help me if

you lie and take

the blame for something

you didn't do?

We thought it was your fault.

I'm not gonna listen

to this crap.

Just hear me out.

They're all in on it.

Does it look like I've

got time to listen to you?

I just came from 100 meters

in the chamber.

I'm going into the water -

to treat myself for

decompression sickness.

That guy from the

Petroleum Directorate, Jeger

told me exactly what to say.

He got me a plane

ticket to Spain,

just to get rid of me.

Don't trust him.

Hey.

Petter?

Ferris tried to kill me.

They tried to kill me.

Hey, hey.

Shh. Shh.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Coffee?

No thanks.

Ferris gave me this.

He wanted to avoid

a police investigation.

Why did you accept it?

You wouldn't take my money.

- It's not your responsibility.

- Of course it is.

Would you rather take money

from a guy

who's willing to kill me?

Is that better?

How was I supposed to know?

You must have

realized something?

I've realized it's time

to look ahead.

Can I take it?

Why?

- Hi.

- Hi.

- They found a dead body.

- Yeah.

It was Jrgen.

I've got the gas sample.

- What are you doing with it?

- I'll give it to you.

- That's the deal, right?

- Yeah.

As soon as Ferris

leaves the country.

How am I gonna make that happen?

I'm sure you and

Jeger can sort it out.

Petter?

The allegations

would be laughable

were it not for the

potential damage

they'd do to my

company's reputation.

They're just not true.

However, Deep Sea Diving

did feel a moral obligation

to make an offer of

compensation to his widow.

There were no preconditions,

I repeat no preconditions

to this offer of imbursement.

This is not a business practice

we want in this country.

Trying to bribe relatives like

that is completely unacceptable.

Can you lay the pipeline

without the Americans?

I'm confident we have

the necessary

know-how to do

the job ourselves.

- What are you looking for?

- I just don't trust you.

Relax. We need you.

I've been named CEO of a new,

state-owned company.

We have to build

the pipeline ourselves.

I need someone who's

been down there.

You need the sample.

The "necessary know-how",

as you call it.

Yeah.

We need you as well.

I want a job as

diving supervisor.

- Okay.

- And I want the money.

The cylinder's in the

locker room.

My brother's locker.

Tell Maria we're grateful.

She expects more than gratitude.

"More than gratitude"?

Her husband, your brother, dived

down to 320 meters.

He died there.

He knew it was dangerous,

but he did it... voluntarily.

It was his job.

The locker room.

Knut Jensen's locker.

In twenty years,

when his son grows up...

He'll grow up in one of

the world's richest countries.
