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...
