to help you.

He won't make it!

I'm giving him my mask.

I'm giving him my mask.

Bro. Bro!

I'm coming out now.

You won't make it back

to the bell!

Draw in the umbilical.

No! You'll never make it

without a mask!

You hear what I'm saying,

Petter? No!

Petter?

Jrgen? Pull in

Petter's umbilical.

Copy that.

Pulling them in.

Where's Knut?!

Flood the bell, dammit!

Flooding the bell.

I've got him!

I've got him.

- You've got him?

- Got him!

- Is he breathing?

- Bro?

He's not breathing!

Petter! Give him CPR.

Come on, bro!

Hurry! Get us up!

Close the hatch.

- I got a seal!

- Get us up!

You're not going anywhere!

Not anywhere, bro!

Come on.

I blacked out.

What the hell happened?

I don't know. I don't know!

Get the hypo from

the equipment lock, Jrgen.

Yes.

Push it hard and deep.

As deep as it goes. Now, Petter!

Nothing's happening.

Bro.

Come on, bro. Come on...

That's enough.

Petter...

It's too late.

What happened?

I don't know.

I'm so sorry.

That's really tough.

Steady, steady.

Maria, we're ready to go.

- Ferris...

- Get me out of here, man.

- As quick as you can.

- You know I can't do that.

Put me on the emergency table...

I can't take that chance.

I'm afraid you'll get

decompression sickness.

Sorry, you gotta stay in there

two more weeks.

Did you notice anything

weird about the breathing gas?

Or hear anything?

I blacked out.

There must have been a gas cut.

I know.

Petter? How are you feeling?

Jrgen says there was a cut.

This is your responsibility,

Trond.

- Careful now, Petter.

- Petter...

I never said that.

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.
