Petter? Are you okay?

Shall we stop?

Hey.

Bro?

Stay awake.

You fall down,

you're out of here.

Answer me,

Petter, or I'll take you out.

Okay.

What's going on out there?

What's up with Leif?

They won't take you out.

They're yelling at each other.

Bro? Pia wants a word with you.

- Huh?

- Petter?

- Hi.

- Hi.

Put the cap back on.

You're not registering

on the EEG.

Why don't you come in

and put it on?

Very nice.

Change of plans.

I need you to step into

the other chamber.

- Don't break his heart, sir.

- No, no... you.

I'm sorry, Mike,

I have to take you out.

What the f***

are you talking about?

What did I do?

I didn't do sh*t.

Please just do as you're told

for a change.

Get into the other chamber

or you're off the

entire program.

Leif?

Leif? Why was he taken out?

Close the hatch. We're cleaning

out the American gas mix.

I feel like sh*t.

Continue pressurization.

We're almost there.

Four hundred and ninety-five.

Is this normal?

There's nothing

normal about this.

Four hundred and ninety-six.

That politician's here

with a cake.

Who let that bird in here?

- There's an albatross in here.

- No, it's a seagull.

It's an albatross.

I've seen them in the

Gulf of Mexico.

The wings are different.

What are they talking about?

Goddamn it,

they're hallucinating.

- Jrgen? Can you see the bird?

- What bird?

Five hundred.

My lungs are on fire.

Let us handle the gas

next time, okay?

Congratulations from

the directorate.

You're the first Norwegians

to be pressurized to 500 meters.

A world record for

simulated deep diving

was recently set here.

- Does it feel good?

- Yeah, it does.

- Look at him!

- Martin.

Dad's on TV.

In very deep water, the

air basically turns to poison

inside the body, so a gas

needed to be developed

to help the divers breathe

down in such depths.

What's working with

with the Americans like?

It's uncle!

Exciting. They've got

a lot of experience with this.

One of the diving

teams is Norwegian.

I think we're in control

of the process.

Norwegian authorities

wish to pipe the

petroleum ashore.

But first the divers must prove

they can work at such depths.

Petter will go on a new test

dive led by the US company

Deep Sea Diving tomorrow.

320 meters below the surface,

they'll join two pipe sections

in a habitat.

What will it be like to reach

the ocean floor?

It's what we've been

training for.

Why we've done this experiment.

So we're looking forward to it.

In the US, Ronald Reagan has...

- Did you see Dad on TV?

- No, just Uncle.

- It wasn't exactly about you.

- Sure it was!

- He's the one they interviewed.

- Yeah yeah.

- Yeah, but it wasn't about you.

- You're not mad at me?

This next dive will be my last.

- Because?

- I'm gonna become a

diving supervisor.

- I'll make loads of money.

- Been drinking paint?

We make ten times what they do.

We don't. They get to see their

family twenty times as

much as we do.

Is this Maria's idea?

Nope.

You're gonna dive until

you're sixty?

Sure I will.

You live on a boat.

Got no family.

I've got you.

But no kids.

All that will change.

Then you'll see what I mean.

Look ahead, Petter.

Welcome aboard. I'm Ferris.

Let's get below.

Yeah. Give me a minute.

Fellas, straight on through,

I'll join you in a minute.

Boss? From your wife.

- And from Marianne.

- What about me?

Shut up.

There's no doubt in my mind

that this is the right

group of men

but we still have to

prove it to the ministry.

That's the sole point

of this verification dive.

Three hundred twenty meters,

three man teams,

twelve-hour shifts,

you know the drill.

Focus on the job

right in front of you

and we'll all end up

making a lot of money together.

Who goes out first?

- The Norwegians.

- Why?

'Cause I'm saving you

for clean-up.

First in the Norway Trench.

English, mother f***er.

He said you're an idiot.

Team one, enter the bell.

How're you feeling, boys?

Feelin' good.

- Never felt better.

- Excellent.

Pete, you're first,

Jrgen will stay in the bell.

Good luck, boys.

You're the TV star, you know.

All right, boys...

Open gas supply, divers.

- Gas open.

- You got the balls for this?

Diver one out of the bell.

Diver one leaving the basket.

Petter?

Petter?

Petter?

Have you landed?

That's one

small step for a man...

...but a huge leap for an

ordinary guy from the projects.

Diver two near the basket.

Do you have a visual?

I have visual.

Okay, you can enter

the habitats.

Diver one inside the habitat.

Diver two inside the habitat.

Start pressurization.

Thirty, forty,

forty-two, forty-six...

- Closing the valve.

- Now the other side.

We're blowing out the water.

There's water seeping in.

Okay.

- Is it a lot?

- No, it's not much.

We just need more pressure.

We'll fix it. Ready?

Increase pressure by five bars.

Increasing pressure.

- Shut the valve, Petter!

- Turn it off!

Knut? Petter?

Report, damn it!

Petter? We've lost contact!

- I'm here.

- Focus on finding Knut!

- Can you see him?

- I can't see!

Knut! Knut!

- He's here!

- Is he conscious?

Bro! Bro!

Can you get him to the surface?

His mask is smashed!

It's smashed!

Just take it off.

- I'm removing his mask.

- Check his pulse.

Bro! Knut!

Petter?

Is he breathing?

He's breathing!

Tell us...

Tell us what's going on!

Don't move!

We'll send Jrgen down
