Pete, please,

if there was something

wrong here, I would tell you.

Honestly.

Tests like these are...

They're really open

to interpretation.

We also judge divers

on their performance.

It really comes down

to how you feel.

- So, how do you feel?

- Fine.

Hey Ronald?

Ronald?

Are you there?

You can read stuff into the

tests, like Leif did.

- You can find anything.

- It says that Jrgen's ill.

They're normal.

Only Leif sees the connection.

What connection?

Jrgen's sick.

Yeah.

But medically speaking,

these charts don't say so.

It's Leif's interpretation.

You sent a sick

diver down there.

No one knew he was sick.

Leif obviously knew.

He wrote the conclusion

in hindsight.

This is a bad time for

you to get fired.

They're preparing a

new test dive.

- I won't dive now.

- You have to.

The Petroleum Directorate

needs to keep

one Norwegian diver

in the program.

- Thank you.

- Thank you for meeting us.

We need to talk.

- Do you have an appointment?

- No.

- Talk to my secretary.

- I've something to show you.

The police are doing

what they can to...

Jrgen manned

the bell at the time.

He's sick.

It says so here.

- Isn't this confidential?

- Just take a look.

I can't interpret this. Can you?

I think he caused

my brother's death.

He gets seizures. I've seen it.

- Have you shown this to anyone?

- No.

Okay, I'll follow it up.

But we need

to conclude the

verification dives.

The mission isn't over yet.

I won't dive until I know what

happened to my brother.

Right. I understand.

- Hi!

- Hi.

- Uncle?

- The police called.

They did?

Hi. It's like this:

Jrgen Heimland has taken

responsibility for the accident.

He admits that he shut

the wrong valve in

the diving bell.

He did what?

Could you repeat that?

He cut your breathing gas.

- Okay. How's that?

- Human error.

But was it a seizure?

The report doesn't mention

any seizure.

You don't know what happened?

You can file a civil lawsuit

if you want to.

- No.

- Why not?

I couldn't bear it.

- What does the report say?

- It says what I just said.

- Is Jrgen here?

- Jrgen's gone to Spain.

Tell him I wanna talk to him.

You all right?

What happened?

You tried to kill me.

That's what happened.

Couldn't avoid you.

You broke into me.

You flipped that car

on your own.

- Who asked you to steal these?

- What?

These EEG tests.

Was it Leif?

Where's mine?

I want mine.

- Where the f*** is mine?

- Why do you want it?

'Cause that sh*t could

end my career.

You know your friend, Leif?

He's a f***ing hack.

He says I'm

neurologically damaged.

Petter? I need to talk to you.

What are you doing here?

Were you here earlier?

What do you mean?
