We need to talk.

Just look at the boat.

What are you doing here?

I'm gonna find out

how Knut died.

Okay. And you think

I've got the answer?

The gas Ronald's given you

contains a secret component.

And the goddamn Americans

won't say what it is.

I made him stop using it

at the research center.

But they call the shots at sea.

So Knut promised to help us.

With what?

He was gonna take a sample

of the American gas in the bell.

- Didn't he tell you?

- What are you saying?

What sort of bullshit is this?

Did you find a gas sample

in Knut's briefcase?

I'd know it if

he was taking a sample.

Ronald's drugging you

with that gas.

You wobbled around

like a drunkard.

That's why you passed out.

- Jrgen's taken the blame.

- He'd never turn off the gas.

Listen to this.

Listen to Knut's voice.

He didn't pass out.

What's that?

The tape from the accident.

Trond said there

wasn't any tape.

Trond?

I took the tape.

- Okay, you can turn it off now.

- It's enough now, Petter.

Petter, stop it!

I'm stuck here!

Petter?

Knut has no problems

with the gas.

- You were on the same feed.

- Shut the valve, Petter!

Knut! Petter!

- Report, God damn it!

- Petter? We've lost contact!

Find the gas sample,

and I'll reveal who did this.

Lift it up and get this

part in there. That's it. Great!

Martin? Remember

the flashlight I gave you?

Yeah.

- You know where it is?

- In a suitcase.

- Your suitcase?

- I think so.

- Where is it?

- In my room.

What's that?

It's a gas sample.

Leif?

Hello?

Hello?

...it has imposed on

the individual freedoms

of the people...

Leif?

Leif?

Leif?

Leif?

Leif?

Leif?

Leif?

Hey!

Hey! Hey!

Hey!

Leif died as a result of

a morphine overdose,

according to the police.

The medical examiner

has yet to verify that.

But, um... I know at least

some of you are aware of the...

courageous efforts that Leif

made to battle his addiction.

In fact, he was supposed to be

in rehab this week.

Unfortunately he never

checked himself in.

For obvious reasons,

the family would prefer

that the manner of his death not

become a matter

of public knowledge.

I found Knut's gas cylinder.

It's up to each one of us

to help protect

the colleague's reputation.

Let's observe a moment of

silence in memory of our friend.

Leif Lindberg.

You want me to test it?

Hm?

You want me to test it for you?

It's empty.

I have to know what's in

that goddamn gas.

If I go on the next dive,

bring back a gas sample,

will you test it when

I get back?

No, after everything you've

been through, you need a break.

Besides, you're not prepared.

These boys have been training.

- Of course I'm prepared...

- That's my final decision.
