1
00:00:38,158 --> 00:00:39,958
What is the price of lying?
2
00:00:41,438 --> 00:00:44,478
That we believe the lie to be the truth
could.
3
00:00:44,558 --> 00:00:48,118
The real danger is this: if
we only hear enough lies,
4
00:00:48,198 --> 00:00:50,878
we no longer recognize the truth.
5
00:00:52,358 --> 00:00:54,238
What else can we do then?
6
00:00:54,318 --> 00:00:57,318
What else is left for us but even that?
to give up hope for truth
7
00:00:57,318 --> 00:00:59,078
What else is left for us but even that?
to give up hope for truth
8
00:00:59,398 --> 00:01:01,558
and make do with stories.
9
00:01:01,758 --> 00:01:05,358
It doesn't matter to us
who the heroes are.
10
00:01:05,438 --> 00:01:08,398
We are only interested in:
Who is to blame?
11
00:01:08,478 --> 00:01:11,478
In this story it was Anatoly
Dyatlov, and he was the best choice.
12
00:01:11,478 --> 00:01:12,558
In this story it was Anatoly
Dyatlov, and he was the best choice.
13
00:01:12,638 --> 00:01:16,398
An arrogant, unpleasant person
was responsible that night
14
00:01:16,478 --> 00:01:18,078
and gave the orders.
15
00:01:18,318 --> 00:01:21,318
A man without friends.
Or at least without important friends.
16
00:01:21,318 --> 00:01:23,478
A man without friends.
Or at least without important friends.
17
00:01:25,198 --> 00:01:28,758
And now Dyatlov will
the next ten years
18
00:01:28,838 --> 00:01:30,198
spend in the labor camp.
19
00:01:31,078 --> 00:01:34,118
Of course, this penalty is double
unfair.
20
00:01:35,598 --> 00:01:38,318
They were far worse
Criminals at work as him.
21
00:01:40,678 --> 00:01:42,798
And for what he has committed,
22
00:01:43,358 --> 00:01:46,158
Dyatlov doesn't deserve a prison sentence...
23
00:01:47,118 --> 00:01:48,758
He deserves death.
24
00:02:02,158 --> 00:02:05,158
But instead ten years
for “criminal mismanagement.”
25
00:02:05,158 --> 00:02:06,358
But instead ten years
for “criminal mismanagement.”
26
00:02:06,958 --> 00:02:10,918
What does that mean?
Nobody knows that.
27
00:02:10,998 --> 00:02:12,518
It's unimportant.
28
00:02:14,718 --> 00:02:17,718
Only those up there wanted
that someone will be held accountable.
29
00:02:17,718 --> 00:02:19,838
Only those up there wanted
that someone will be held accountable.
30
00:02:20,198 --> 00:02:23,278
Because you know, those who believe
31
00:02:23,838 --> 00:02:27,478
a just world is an ideal world.
32
00:02:29,758 --> 00:02:32,798
There was nothing wholesome anymore
at Chernobyl.
33
00:02:34,358 --> 00:02:37,558
The accident and its effects,
even our measures,
34
00:02:37,638 --> 00:02:39,518
just everything...
35
00:02:40,758 --> 00:02:43,758
Simply everything...
Madness.
36
00:02:43,758 --> 00:02:44,998
Simply everything...
Madness.
37
00:02:49,518 --> 00:02:52,518
Well, now you know everything,
what I know.
38
00:02:52,518 --> 00:02:53,598
Well, now you know everything,
what I know.
39
00:02:55,358 --> 00:02:58,358
Of course they will deny it
That's how we always do it.
40
00:02:58,358 --> 00:02:59,918
Of course they will deny it
That's how we always do it.
41
00:03:04,678 --> 00:03:06,798
I know you're doing your best.
42
00:07:19,358 --> 00:07:20,838
Lyudmilla?
43
00:07:40,278 --> 00:07:42,078
Comrade Dyatlov?
44
00:07:44,998 --> 00:07:46,518
Comrade Dyatlov?
45
00:07:50,438 --> 00:07:52,158
Comrade Dyatlov?
46
00:07:52,838 --> 00:07:54,398
Comrade Dyatlov?
47
00:07:57,958 --> 00:07:59,518
Comrade Dyatlov?
48
00:08:00,238 --> 00:08:01,798
Comrade Dyatlov?
49
00:08:02,318 --> 00:08:03,758
What happened there?
50
00:08:04,078 --> 00:08:05,758
I don't know it.
51
00:08:06,638 --> 00:08:08,598
There is a fire in the turbine hall.
52
00:08:10,638 --> 00:08:13,638
The turbine hall.
The control system tank, hydrogen.
53
00:08:13,638 --> 00:08:15,798
The turbine hall.
The control system tank, hydrogen.
54
00:08:15,918 --> 00:08:18,278
You and Toptunov
blew the tank, you idiot.
55
00:08:18,358 --> 00:08:19,438
No, we don't have that...
56
00:08:19,518 --> 00:08:21,118
This is an emergency,
everyone stay calm.
57
00:08:21,198 --> 00:08:22,878
-Top priority...
-He exploded.
58
00:08:22,958 --> 00:08:25,038
We know.
Akimov, is the reactor core cooled?
59
00:08:25,118 --> 00:08:28,478
Is switched off, the control rods
are not completely broken in, although...
60
00:08:28,558 --> 00:08:31,038
It's okay. I uncouple them
on the reserve control panel.
61
00:08:31,118 --> 00:08:34,238
Both of you! Switch on reserve pumps.
We need water for the reactor core,
62
00:08:34,318 --> 00:08:37,038
-the rest doesn't matter.
-There is no reactor anymore.
63
00:08:37,478 --> 00:08:39,998
He exploded.
The reactor exploded.
64
00:08:42,758 --> 00:08:44,878
He is in shock.
Get him out of here.
65
00:08:44,998 --> 00:08:48,078
The lid is gone.
The block is burning, I saw it.
66
00:08:48,238 --> 00:08:51,798
You are confused, RBMK reactors
don't explode. Akimov!
67
00:08:51,878 --> 00:08:53,718
-What is that?
-Don't worry, not our fault.
68
00:08:53,798 --> 00:08:56,358
-Something funny happened here.
-Do you taste metal too?
69
00:08:56,438 --> 00:08:57,638
Akimov!
70
00:08:57,918 --> 00:09:00,678
Comrade Perevozhenko,
what you are saying is physically impossible.
71
00:09:00,758 --> 00:09:03,438
A core does not explode.
It has to be the tank.
72
00:09:04,518 --> 00:09:06,078
We're wasting time. Let's go.
73
00:09:06,158 --> 00:09:09,198
The hydrogen must come from the generator,
and pump water into the reactor.
74
00:09:09,278 --> 00:09:10,598
What about the fire?
75
00:09:11,118 --> 00:09:12,718
Call the fire department.
76
00:10:12,518 --> 00:10:13,758
Hello, is there military fire station 2?
77
00:10:13,838 --> 00:10:14,598
Yes.
78
00:10:14,678 --> 00:10:15,638
What's burning with you?
79
00:10:15,678 --> 00:10:18,678
An explosion in the main building
between the 3rd and 4th blocks.
80
00:10:18,678 --> 00:10:21,158
An explosion in the main building
between the 3rd and 4th blocks.
81
00:10:21,238 --> 00:10:22,478
Are there people there?
82
00:10:22,558 --> 00:10:23,078
Yes.
83
00:10:23,158 --> 00:10:25,318
Alert the team!
84
00:10:25,398 --> 00:10:27,358
Will be done.
The supervisor has already been informed!
85
00:10:27,438 --> 00:10:30,438
All! The whole team! Alert
the officers' block! The entire corps!
86
00:10:30,438 --> 00:10:31,518
All! The whole team! Alert
the officers' block! The entire corps!
87
00:10:33,598 --> 00:10:34,398
Fire department.
88
00:10:34,478 --> 00:10:35,318
Hello, Ivankov?
89
00:10:35,398 --> 00:10:35,878
Yes. Yes?
90
00:10:35,958 --> 00:10:38,318
They are called to Pripyat.
91
00:10:38,398 --> 00:10:38,878
Hello?
92
00:10:38,958 --> 00:10:39,918
Yes. Yes, I can hear you.
93
00:10:39,998 --> 00:10:42,998
To the nuclear power plant!
The roof is on fire in the 3rd and 4th blocks!
94
00:10:42,998 --> 00:10:45,158
To the nuclear power plant!
The roof is on fire in the 3rd and 4th blocks!
95
00:10:45,198 --> 00:10:47,078
You're not even ready.
96
00:10:47,158 --> 00:10:49,398
They request everyone, military and civilian.
97
00:10:49,678 --> 00:10:52,678
Pripyat, Polesskoe, Kyiv.
It's something bigger.
98
00:10:52,678 --> 00:10:54,318
Pripyat, Polesskoe, Kyiv.
It's something bigger.
99
00:10:55,678 --> 00:10:58,878
But it doesn't look normal.
The color.
100
00:10:58,958 --> 00:11:01,918
Pravik says,
that they turned on floodlights.
101
00:11:01,998 --> 00:11:03,758
What if they are chemicals?
102
00:11:03,838 --> 00:11:05,278
Chemicals?
103
00:11:06,438 --> 00:11:09,198
The problem is the roof.
That's tarred,
104
00:11:09,278 --> 00:11:12,158
that will burn all night
and stink like hell.
105
00:11:12,238 --> 00:11:14,838
Not more.
It doesn't get any worse, right?
106
00:11:17,038 --> 00:11:18,878
Go back to bed.
107
00:11:52,478 --> 00:11:54,918
-Are we at war?
-Where is the dosimeter?
108
00:11:54,998 --> 00:11:58,318
Here. Here.
109
00:12:04,158 --> 00:12:05,798
Are we being bombed?
110
00:12:08,598 --> 00:12:10,918
What's the point of this shit?
3.6 X-ray?
111
00:12:10,998 --> 00:12:13,678
That doesn't go any higher.
The good stuff is in the safe.
112
00:12:13,758 --> 00:12:15,438
I don't have a key...
113
00:12:15,518 --> 00:12:19,438
Valery...
Your face...
114
00:12:20,678 --> 00:12:23,678
Come on. I'm looking for Khodemchuk now.
He must be at the pumps. And you...
115
00:12:23,678 --> 00:12:26,518
Come on. I'm looking for Khodemchuk now.
He must be at the pumps. And you...
116
00:12:26,598 --> 00:12:30,358
You get Shashenok.
He's in 604. Go.
117
00:12:30,438 --> 00:12:32,478
We have to get everyone out of here!
118
00:12:44,798 --> 00:12:45,998
Shit!
119
00:12:46,078 --> 00:12:49,278
Hey! Where is the reactor hall?
The elevator is destroyed.
120
00:12:49,358 --> 00:12:52,558
-Two stories high and across.
-Thanks.
121
00:12:52,638 --> 00:12:54,718
What do you want there?
122
00:13:13,118 --> 00:13:14,878
Have you seen Khodemchuk?
123
00:13:15,118 --> 00:13:17,678
-No. Where is Viktor?
-Still in the pump house.
124
00:13:19,278 --> 00:13:21,918
Stay here.
I'll be right back.
125
00:13:24,398 --> 00:13:26,318
Victor!
126
00:13:43,518 --> 00:13:47,238
Oh, Victor.
Victor!
127
00:13:47,638 --> 00:13:51,198
Oh! Victor.
Come on, I'll get you out of here.
128
00:13:51,478 --> 00:13:53,678
Can you stand up?
129
00:13:54,398 --> 00:13:55,398
Khodemchuck.
130
00:13:55,558 --> 00:13:56,998
What?
131
00:13:57,078 --> 00:14:00,078
Khodemchuck.
Get him.
132
00:14:00,078 --> 00:14:01,198
Khodemchuck.
Get him.
133
00:14:42,878 --> 00:14:45,678
-I lowered the control rods.
-You're still upstairs.
134
00:14:45,758 --> 00:14:47,718
-What?
-Only a third are inside,
135
00:14:47,798 --> 00:14:50,798
-I have no idea why.
-The apprentices are in the reactor hall
136
00:14:50,878 --> 00:14:52,398
-they try it manually.
-And the pumps?
137
00:14:52,478 --> 00:14:54,438
I don't reach Khodemchuk,
all lines are dead.
138
00:14:54,518 --> 00:14:56,958
Fuck the phones and Khodemchuk.
Are the pumps running or not?
139
00:14:57,038 --> 00:14:58,838
-Stolyarchuk?
-My control panel doesn't work.
140
00:14:58,918 --> 00:15:01,998
-I wanted to call an electrician...
-I don't give a shit about the control panel,
141
00:15:02,078 --> 00:15:04,198
I want water in my reactor core!
142
00:15:05,158 --> 00:15:07,358
Go down and bring
the pumps start running.
143
00:15:08,038 --> 00:15:09,038
Now!
144
00:15:16,918 --> 00:15:19,318
-What does the dosimeter say?
-Uh, 3.6 X-ray.
145
00:15:19,398 --> 00:15:21,358
-But that is the maximum value of the device.
-3.6...
146
00:15:21,438 --> 00:15:23,278
Not good, not dramatic.
147
00:15:30,678 --> 00:15:32,158
It wasn't our fault.
148
00:15:57,558 --> 00:15:59,958
Car 3, are you there yet?
149
00:16:00,038 --> 00:16:02,678
We still have
requested another squad.
150
00:16:02,758 --> 00:16:04,598
They should join you straight away.
151
00:16:04,678 --> 00:16:06,598
Connect the hoses!
152
00:16:06,678 --> 00:16:09,078
Where is the fire? I don't see anything!
Everything here is in ruins.
153
00:16:09,158 --> 00:16:10,638
Over here, quickly! Hurry!!
154
00:16:10,718 --> 00:16:13,838
Where is the reinforcement?
We need more hoses.
155
00:16:15,358 --> 00:16:18,118
We need help here!
Help us!
156
00:16:52,038 --> 00:16:53,718
Vasily!
157
00:16:55,238 --> 00:16:56,918
Hey Vasily, what is this?
158
00:16:56,998 --> 00:16:58,918
No idea.
Better leave it alone.
159
00:16:58,998 --> 00:17:00,718
Hook up, come on.
160
00:17:02,878 --> 00:17:05,798
Connect the hoses!
Faster people!
161
00:17:05,878 --> 00:17:08,678
-Do you taste metal too?
-Yes, what is that?
162
00:17:09,398 --> 00:17:10,798
No idea.
163
00:17:11,958 --> 00:17:13,638
Open the valves!
The valves, come on!
164
00:17:13,718 --> 00:17:15,398
Come on! Go!
165
00:17:45,998 --> 00:17:47,118
What do you need?
166
00:17:47,318 --> 00:17:50,478
We're supposed to go to the reactor hall
and lower the control rods,
167
00:17:50,558 --> 00:17:51,878
but the door is stuck.
168
00:17:53,438 --> 00:17:56,758
I think you can forget that.
There is no reactor anymore.
169
00:17:58,078 --> 00:18:01,078
No, that's not true.
Akimov said.
170
00:18:01,078 --> 00:18:02,758
No, that's not true.
Akimov said.
171
00:18:19,318 --> 00:18:20,998
Let's go.
172
00:18:33,118 --> 00:18:36,158
A doctor!
Fast!
173
00:18:36,358 --> 00:18:38,518
Ignatenko!
You take over the hose!
174
00:18:38,758 --> 00:18:40,558
It will happen again.
175
00:18:45,998 --> 00:18:48,718
Water March!
Higher!
176
00:18:50,478 --> 00:18:52,998
Oh shit.
177
00:19:19,238 --> 00:19:20,718
Are you sure?
178
00:19:22,118 --> 00:19:23,478
Akimov said...
179
00:19:36,718 --> 00:19:38,038
Get away there.
180
00:19:47,678 --> 00:19:49,518
Get in there, go. Go!
181
00:19:52,678 --> 00:19:54,598
Go Go!
182
00:20:24,278 --> 00:20:27,278
He's gone! Run!
Get away quickly! Come!
183
00:20:27,278 --> 00:20:29,638
He's gone! Run!
Get away quickly! Come!
184
00:20:31,158 --> 00:20:33,078
Hey! Uh!
185
00:20:36,798 --> 00:20:40,238
Uh! Hey!
186
00:20:59,758 --> 00:21:02,158
Lyudmilla!
Do you want to come along?
187
00:21:02,238 --> 00:21:03,318
Where are you going?
188
00:21:03,438 --> 00:21:06,438
To the railway bridge, you can see better there.
Nobody can sleep with the sirens anyway.
189
00:21:06,438 --> 00:21:07,518
To the railway bridge, you can see better there.
Nobody can sleep with the sirens anyway.
190
00:21:07,958 --> 00:21:09,958
Don't go there
it may be dangerous.
191
00:21:10,038 --> 00:21:12,718
Why dangerous? Is just a fire,
we are here, it is there.
192
00:21:12,798 --> 00:21:15,798
-Mikhail.
-What? Oh. Sorry.
193
00:21:15,798 --> 00:21:17,918
-Mikhail.
-What? Oh. Sorry.
194
00:21:22,638 --> 00:21:24,678
-Is Vasily...?
-Yes.
195
00:21:24,758 --> 00:21:28,238
-And he says it's bad?
-No. No, it's supposedly just the roof.
196
00:21:28,318 --> 00:21:31,038
Well, he's never been hurt yet.
None of the boys.
197
00:21:32,118 --> 00:21:35,118
He's already doing it.
Try to sleep.
198
00:21:35,118 --> 00:21:36,158
He's already doing it.
Try to sleep.
199
00:21:47,918 --> 00:21:50,558
The tank is big enough
for such an explosion.
200
00:21:50,638 --> 00:21:53,318
The control system tank at level 71
holds 100,000 liters.
201
00:21:53,398 --> 00:21:54,638
110.
202
00:21:54,958 --> 00:21:57,758
110. Can definitely do something like that.
203
00:21:58,918 --> 00:22:00,438
He's gone.
204
00:22:00,518 --> 00:22:03,518
I looked straight into it.
Inside the reactor core.
205
00:22:03,518 --> 00:22:04,798
I looked straight into it.
Inside the reactor core.
206
00:22:05,638 --> 00:22:07,558
Are the control rods down or not?
207
00:22:10,718 --> 00:22:12,558
Take him to the infirmary.
208
00:22:14,558 --> 00:22:16,478
Toptunov!
Go ahead!
209
00:22:19,358 --> 00:22:20,878
Where is Kudryavtsev?
210
00:22:21,678 --> 00:22:22,678
Fell...
211
00:22:22,958 --> 00:22:24,518
A paramedic!
Fast! A paramedic!
212
00:22:24,598 --> 00:22:25,918
He fantasizes.
213
00:22:26,718 --> 00:22:27,718
His face...
214
00:22:27,798 --> 00:22:30,558
Burst condensate pipe,
the feed water is slightly contaminated.
215
00:22:30,638 --> 00:22:33,998
He'll be fine again. Stands ours
Telephone line to outside still?
216
00:22:35,958 --> 00:22:36,998
Akimov?
217
00:22:38,918 --> 00:22:40,278
The day shift is supposed to come.
218
00:22:41,518 --> 00:22:42,598
But if the...
219
00:22:42,678 --> 00:22:44,878
We need the reactor
continue to cool with water,
220
00:22:44,958 --> 00:22:47,438
we need electricians, mechanics,
just more people.
221
00:22:48,198 --> 00:22:50,038
How many times do I have to say it?
222
00:22:58,078 --> 00:23:00,358
I will now
go to the administration building,
223
00:23:00,438 --> 00:23:03,438
and call Bryukhanov. And Fomin.
They need a comprehensive report.
224
00:23:03,438 --> 00:23:04,918
And call Bryukhanov. And Fomin.
They need a comprehensive report.
225
00:23:06,198 --> 00:23:08,918
I don't know
whether I can improve your situation,
226
00:23:09,798 --> 00:23:11,718
but I can certainly make them worse.
227
00:23:14,718 --> 00:23:16,718
Call the day shift,
Comrade Akimov.
228
00:23:20,358 --> 00:23:21,798
Yes, Comrade Dyatlov.
229
00:23:53,958 --> 00:23:57,398
They're doing it well.
Put them on.
230
00:24:01,238 --> 00:24:04,358
That one, maybe another hour.
Those here tomorrow at the earliest.
231
00:24:07,078 --> 00:24:08,718
What does it look like downstairs, doctor?
232
00:24:09,278 --> 00:24:10,398
Quiet.
233
00:24:10,718 --> 00:24:13,718
Like every night.
Only babies come at this time.
234
00:24:13,718 --> 00:24:14,958
Like every night.
Only babies come at this time.
235
00:24:16,078 --> 00:24:18,478
I once had it for two days
didn't sleep at all.
236
00:24:18,798 --> 00:24:21,078
Ten women were lying at the same time
in labor.
237
00:24:21,158 --> 00:24:23,838
-Do you already know the story?
-Yes.
238
00:24:25,878 --> 00:24:28,318
I can leave you here for now.
If you want to,
239
00:24:28,398 --> 00:24:29,998
get some sleep in the relaxation room.
240
00:24:30,998 --> 00:24:32,798
Why isn't anyone here from the fire yet?
241
00:24:33,278 --> 00:24:36,278
-What brand?
-The one in the power plant.
242
00:24:37,238 --> 00:24:39,638
Oh. Probably won't
be so bad.
243
00:24:40,878 --> 00:24:42,998
-Do we have an iodine supply?
-Hmm?
244
00:24:43,358 --> 00:24:47,038
-Well iodine.
-You mean for disinfecting?
245
00:24:47,158 --> 00:24:49,318
No, tablets.
Is there a supply of iodine tablets?
246
00:24:49,398 --> 00:24:52,318
Iodine tablets.
Why are you asking about iodine tablets?
247
00:25:04,518 --> 00:25:05,638
Hello?
248
00:25:07,238 --> 00:25:08,598
Hello?
249
00:25:09,078 --> 00:25:11,558
Comrade Bryukhanov,
sorry for the disturbance.
250
00:25:11,638 --> 00:25:13,878
This is Dyatlov speaking,
Chief engineer at the nuclear power plant.
251
00:25:13,958 --> 00:25:15,518
There was an explosion.
252
00:25:15,598 --> 00:25:17,038
Who else knows about it?
253
00:25:17,478 --> 00:25:19,158
Only the night shift staff.
254
00:25:19,238 --> 00:25:20,998
Is Fomin informed?
255
00:25:21,638 --> 00:25:24,638
Of course you should call him.
When I get up, he gets up too.
256
00:25:24,638 --> 00:25:25,798
Of course you should call him.
When I get up, he gets up too.
257
00:26:02,958 --> 00:26:06,518
Whatever it was, it just depends
that neither you nor I...
258
00:26:45,878 --> 00:26:48,038
I guess the security test
failed?
259
00:26:48,398 --> 00:26:49,998
We have the situation under control.
260
00:26:50,078 --> 00:26:52,638
Under control?
Doesn't look like it at all.
261
00:26:52,718 --> 00:26:54,438
Be quiet, Fomin.
262
00:26:55,238 --> 00:26:57,918
I have to inform the central committee,
is that clear to you?
263
00:26:58,158 --> 00:27:01,478
I have to Maryin or -
God forbid - say Frolyshev on the phone
264
00:27:01,558 --> 00:27:03,158
that my power plant is on fire.
265
00:27:03,238 --> 00:27:05,558
Nobody can blame you,
Director Bryukhanov
266
00:27:05,638 --> 00:27:08,598
Of course no one can do that.
How could I be responsible for this?
267
00:27:08,678 --> 00:27:10,238
I slept!
268
00:27:10,958 --> 00:27:13,398
What happened?
The short version.
269
00:27:14,718 --> 00:27:17,638
The experimental procedure was as described
Chief engineer Fomin approved.
270
00:27:18,358 --> 00:27:21,118
The shift manager Akimov
and engineer Toptunov
271
00:27:21,398 --> 00:27:22,878
had technical difficulties
272
00:27:22,958 --> 00:27:25,998
this caused hydrogen to accumulate
in the tank of the control system.
273
00:27:26,838 --> 00:27:28,278
Unfortunately it caught fire
274
00:27:28,358 --> 00:27:30,758
which damages the system
and set the roof on fire.
275
00:27:32,758 --> 00:27:36,318
The tank is quite large.
That sounds logical, that's how it has to be
276
00:27:37,038 --> 00:27:40,518
But there is the deputy
Chief engineer Dyatlov
277
00:27:40,598 --> 00:27:42,518
the attempt himself
supervised,
278
00:27:42,598 --> 00:27:43,958
he will know best.
279
00:27:44,038 --> 00:27:46,238
Hydrogen, tank, fire.
280
00:27:48,518 --> 00:27:49,518
The reactor?
281
00:27:49,598 --> 00:27:52,758
We are there, the core
continuously cooled with water.
282
00:27:53,038 --> 00:27:56,038
-What about the radiation?
-There's none down here,
283
00:27:56,118 --> 00:28:00,118
but according to my information
in the reactor building. 3.6 x-rays per hour.
284
00:28:00,438 --> 00:28:02,478
Well, that's not good,
but not a catastrophe either.
285
00:28:02,558 --> 00:28:05,718
Not at all.
From the feed water, I assume?
286
00:28:05,958 --> 00:28:07,038
Mm-hmm.
287
00:28:08,398 --> 00:28:10,478
We need the layers
limit to six hours,
288
00:28:10,558 --> 00:28:11,678
but otherwise...
289
00:28:11,758 --> 00:28:14,398
The dosimetrists should do that
constantly check.
290
00:28:14,998 --> 00:28:18,118
And with the good measuring device,
that from the safe.
291
00:28:19,558 --> 00:28:20,598
Ah, good.
292
00:28:21,318 --> 00:28:22,878
I'll call Maryin.
293
00:28:23,678 --> 00:28:27,478
They should wake up the executive committee.
Instructions are expected.
294
00:28:33,518 --> 00:28:36,038
Here. Secure?
All right.
295
00:28:40,318 --> 00:28:43,318
-Where do the colors come from?
-Oh, it's definitely the fuel.
296
00:28:43,318 --> 00:28:44,838
-Where do the colors come from?
-Oh, it's definitely the fuel.
297
00:28:45,198 --> 00:28:46,838
"Ah, surely it's the fuel"?
298
00:28:47,198 --> 00:28:49,798
What do you already know about it?
You're scrubbing the floor in a train station.
299
00:28:50,198 --> 00:28:52,998
My friend Yuri works at the power plant.
He says it's running cold.
300
00:28:53,638 --> 00:28:55,278
No gas, no fire.
Just atoms.
301
00:28:56,118 --> 00:28:58,718
Yuri says you can't do that easily
get to the fuel.
302
00:28:58,838 --> 00:29:01,758
Otherwise only vodka helps,
for four hours, one glass at a time.
303
00:29:02,158 --> 00:29:03,838
Isn't Yuri a plumber?
304
00:29:04,238 --> 00:29:06,038
Yes, there in the nuclear power plant.
Even.
305
00:29:12,678 --> 00:29:13,958
But it does look nice.
306
00:29:15,238 --> 00:29:16,398
Yes.
307
00:31:03,718 --> 00:31:05,158
Do you have a cigarette?
308
00:31:30,198 --> 00:31:31,398
Do you need help?
309
00:31:37,918 --> 00:31:39,398
It's over.
310
00:32:40,998 --> 00:32:42,998
We can down here
can't do anything anymore.
311
00:32:43,078 --> 00:32:45,278
We need to work our way to the roof...
312
00:32:51,358 --> 00:32:54,798
Vasily! Turn off the water!
313
00:32:57,998 --> 00:33:01,158
That's enough, comrades.
Come with me, men.
314
00:33:06,198 --> 00:33:09,478
Good this way. OK, over here.
Go on, go on.
315
00:33:13,598 --> 00:33:17,038
Vasily, here we go upstairs.
All the way up and then in.
316
00:33:19,238 --> 00:33:20,598
Come on!
317
00:33:32,438 --> 00:33:34,518
Yes, I'm going in now.
318
00:34:20,118 --> 00:34:21,358
The reserve pumps too?
319
00:34:21,998 --> 00:34:25,078
All pumps are gone
all the electrics are gone.
320
00:34:25,758 --> 00:34:26,758
The core?
321
00:34:27,238 --> 00:34:29,358
I wasn't in it,
I won't go in either.
322
00:34:30,598 --> 00:34:31,758
I think it's slow...
323
00:34:31,838 --> 00:34:34,478
No. We have to cool the core,
otherwise there will be a meltdown.
324
00:34:35,478 --> 00:34:37,758
-Let's open the valves.
-Sasha...
325
00:34:37,838 --> 00:34:40,038
What do you want, Boris?
If it's true, we're all dead.
326
00:34:40,118 --> 00:34:42,318
A million people.
Do you want to hear that?
327
00:34:44,278 --> 00:34:47,278
-Let's open the valves, manually.
-Manually? Do you know how many there are?
328
00:34:47,278 --> 00:34:50,398
-Let's open the valves, manually.
-Manually? Do you know how many there are?
329
00:34:50,478 --> 00:34:52,638
And how difficult are they to open?
You're talking about hours!
330
00:34:52,718 --> 00:34:54,238
-Then help us.
-Help? Where?
331
00:34:54,678 --> 00:34:56,998
Fill a pit with water?
There's nothing in there.
332
00:35:06,358 --> 00:35:07,798
Leonid, I beg you.
333
00:35:20,798 --> 00:35:22,278
Watch the control panel.
334
00:35:22,718 --> 00:35:23,958
This doesn't work.
335
00:35:24,918 --> 00:35:25,958
Just do it.
336
00:35:47,598 --> 00:35:49,478
Now I know
why we should come earlier.
337
00:35:49,918 --> 00:35:51,438
Did they say what happened?
338
00:35:51,518 --> 00:35:53,718
It's during security testing
happens to the turbine.
339
00:35:53,798 --> 00:35:56,118
A tank exploded.
340
00:35:57,278 --> 00:35:59,318
Somehow it doesn't make sense to me.
341
00:36:00,278 --> 00:36:03,278
Maybe it was sabotage?
A bomb?
342
00:36:04,718 --> 00:36:07,958
Sitnikov, we should
use the good dosimeter,
343
00:36:08,038 --> 00:36:10,878
but that's in the safe and we
can't find the key.
344
00:36:10,958 --> 00:36:13,958
It's in building two.
Didn't... Come with me.
345
00:36:13,958 --> 00:36:15,118
It's in building two.
Didn't... Come with me.
346
00:36:26,678 --> 00:36:29,678
Comrades, welcome.
Please, sit down. Wherever you want.
347
00:36:29,678 --> 00:36:31,718
Comrades, welcome.
Please, sit down. Wherever you want.
348
00:36:32,198 --> 00:36:34,518
Forgive the late hour.
349
00:36:34,958 --> 00:36:38,238
I guarantee you
we are very safe down here.
350
00:36:38,718 --> 00:36:41,358
This bunker was built
about a nuclear attack
351
00:36:41,438 --> 00:36:44,438
to withstand the Americans.
That should be enough.
352
00:36:46,158 --> 00:36:48,998
As you could see,
we had an accident.
353
00:36:49,238 --> 00:36:51,478
A defective control system tank
caused an explosion
354
00:36:51,558 --> 00:36:54,878
in reactor block 4,
causing a fire to break out.
355
00:36:54,958 --> 00:36:58,438
I've just personally dealt with this
the responsible secretary, Maryin.
356
00:36:58,518 --> 00:37:00,518
And Maryin
with his superior Frolyshev,
357
00:37:00,918 --> 00:37:03,638
Frolyshev with the candidate
of the Dolgikh Politburo,
358
00:37:03,918 --> 00:37:06,918
and Dolgikh with
General Secretary Gorbachev. Good.
359
00:37:06,918 --> 00:37:08,278
And Dolgikh with
General Secretary Gorbachev. Good.
360
00:37:09,718 --> 00:37:12,638
And because the Central Committee
361
00:37:12,998 --> 00:37:15,998
the work of the Executive Committee
Pripyat highly valued
362
00:37:15,998 --> 00:37:17,838
the work of the Executive Committee
Pripyat highly valued
363
00:37:18,078 --> 00:37:20,798
I was asked
To inform you of the situation.
364
00:37:20,878 --> 00:37:21,878
So,
365
00:37:23,278 --> 00:37:26,958
firstly, the accident is
completely under control.
366
00:37:27,518 --> 00:37:29,478
And secondly,
367
00:37:29,558 --> 00:37:32,118
because the efforts of the
Soviet nuclear industry
368
00:37:32,198 --> 00:37:35,518
are classified as state secrets,
is it important
369
00:37:35,758 --> 00:37:37,638
that we ensure
370
00:37:37,758 --> 00:37:41,078
that this incident
has no adverse effects.
371
00:37:41,478 --> 00:37:45,438
To prevent panic,
sends the Central Committee
372
00:37:45,518 --> 00:37:47,838
a special military police unit
to Pripyat.
373
00:37:47,958 --> 00:37:49,278
How big is the troop?
374
00:37:51,158 --> 00:37:52,878
Between two and four thousand men.
375
00:37:55,198 --> 00:37:58,838
What's really going on here?
How dangerous is it?
376
00:37:59,478 --> 00:38:02,478
There is a weak radiation,
but only within the power plant.
377
00:38:02,878 --> 00:38:03,918
That's not true.
378
00:38:04,238 --> 00:38:05,358
I'm sorry, what?
379
00:38:05,878 --> 00:38:08,118
There are men vomiting outside.
380
00:38:09,798 --> 00:38:11,518
Others have burns.
381
00:38:12,198 --> 00:38:14,598
The radioactive radiation is higher,
as he says.
382
00:38:14,918 --> 00:38:17,078
We have women here.
We have children.
383
00:38:17,158 --> 00:38:19,678
I say we evacuate the city.
384
00:38:20,238 --> 00:38:23,238
Comrades, er... Please!
Please! My wife is here.
385
00:38:23,238 --> 00:38:24,758
Comrades, er... Please!
Please! My wife is here.
386
00:38:25,518 --> 00:38:27,438
Do you believe
we would stay in Pripyat,
387
00:38:27,518 --> 00:38:28,958
if it wasn't safe?
388
00:38:29,038 --> 00:38:32,518
Bryukhanov, the sky is glowing.
389
00:38:32,678 --> 00:38:34,518
The Cherenkov effect.
390
00:38:34,598 --> 00:38:37,998
An absolutely normal phenomenon,
occurs even with the slightest radiation.
391
00:38:47,518 --> 00:38:51,198
I wonder which of you
knows the name of this power plant?
392
00:38:53,518 --> 00:38:56,518
It is commonly called "Chernobyl",
but what is it actually called?
393
00:38:56,518 --> 00:38:58,798
It is commonly called "Chernobyl",
but what is it actually called?
394
00:39:00,318 --> 00:39:04,198
The Vladimir I. Lenin Nuclear Power Plant.
395
00:39:04,638 --> 00:39:06,238
Exactly.
396
00:39:08,078 --> 00:39:11,238
Vladimir I Lenin.
397
00:39:18,438 --> 00:39:21,638
How proud you all are of him
would fulfill tonight.
398
00:39:22,958 --> 00:39:25,318
Especially you, young man.
399
00:39:26,238 --> 00:39:28,478
How passionate you are
stand up for the people.
400
00:39:29,758 --> 00:39:32,758
And the entire state apparatus serves
not solely for this purpose?
401
00:39:32,758 --> 00:39:33,798
And the entire state apparatus serves
not solely for this purpose?
402
00:39:35,158 --> 00:39:38,158
Sometimes we forget that.
Sometimes we fall victim to fear.
403
00:39:38,158 --> 00:39:40,838
Sometimes we forget that.
Sometimes we fall victim to fear.
404
00:39:42,558 --> 00:39:45,838
But our trust
into Soviet socialism
405
00:39:46,438 --> 00:39:48,838
will always pay off in the end.
406
00:39:51,638 --> 00:39:55,478
Today the state tells us
the situation here is not dangerous.
407
00:39:56,118 --> 00:39:57,838
Have faith, comrades.
408
00:40:00,158 --> 00:40:03,158
The state tells us it wants to
avoid a panic. Listen to him.
409
00:40:03,158 --> 00:40:04,438
The state tells us it wants to
avoid a panic. Listen to him.
410
00:40:07,238 --> 00:40:09,838
It's true,
when people see the police,
411
00:40:09,918 --> 00:40:11,958
they will get scared.
412
00:40:12,838 --> 00:40:15,078
But the experience is this:
413
00:40:15,878 --> 00:40:18,878
When people ask questions,
whose answers are not good for them,
414
00:40:18,878 --> 00:40:20,398
When people ask questions,
whose answers are not good for them,
415
00:40:21,278 --> 00:40:25,238
you should just tell them:
Take care of your work,
416
00:40:26,238 --> 00:40:29,238
and leave state affairs
the state.
417
00:40:29,238 --> 00:40:30,558
And leave matters of state
the state.
418
00:40:32,398 --> 00:40:35,398
We're sealing off the city.
Nobody will leave.
419
00:40:35,398 --> 00:40:36,798
We're sealing off the city.
Nobody will leave.
420
00:40:37,798 --> 00:40:40,798
We turn off the phones.
Keep misinformation at bay.
421
00:40:40,798 --> 00:40:42,358
We turn off the phones.
Keep misinformation at bay.
422
00:40:45,278 --> 00:40:48,918
This is how we stop the people from
423
00:40:48,998 --> 00:40:51,278
the fruits of his own labor
to undermine.
424
00:40:53,958 --> 00:40:55,518
That's right, comrades.
425
00:40:56,798 --> 00:41:00,518
What we do here tonight
will pay off for all of us.
426
00:41:03,038 --> 00:41:06,918
This is our opportunity
to shine.
427
00:41:19,198 --> 00:41:20,798
Thanks.
428
00:41:21,918 --> 00:41:23,238
Comrade.
429
00:41:32,438 --> 00:41:34,678
He wants to speak to you.
430
00:41:47,358 --> 00:41:48,478
Yes?
431
00:41:54,558 --> 00:41:58,358
I have my dosimetrists
sent to the reactor building.
432
00:41:59,198 --> 00:42:02,238
The big dosimeter from the safe,
that measures up to 1,000 x-rays...
433
00:42:02,318 --> 00:42:03,358
What was the value?
434
00:42:06,758 --> 00:42:08,078
There wasn't one.
435
00:42:08,478 --> 00:42:10,678
The device is turning on
burned out.
436
00:42:11,278 --> 00:42:12,278
That's typical.
437
00:42:12,438 --> 00:42:15,198
It's always like that with Moscow.
Send us shitty equipment
438
00:42:15,278 --> 00:42:16,518
and wonder about accidents.
439
00:42:16,598 --> 00:42:20,478
We had another dosimeter.
One from the military fire department.
440
00:42:20,918 --> 00:42:23,398
It only goes up to 200 x-rays,
but it's better than the small one.
441
00:42:23,958 --> 00:42:24,998
And?
442
00:42:25,678 --> 00:42:29,078
Uh, maximum value.
200 x-rays.
443
00:42:31,758 --> 00:42:33,038
What are these games?
444
00:42:33,718 --> 00:42:35,278
Uh, no, I...
445
00:42:35,358 --> 00:42:37,238
I asked him
he measured several times.
446
00:42:37,318 --> 00:42:38,558
He is my best man.
I...
447
00:42:38,838 --> 00:42:41,198
Another broken measuring device,
You're wasting our time.
448
00:42:41,278 --> 00:42:43,198
I checked it, it's calibrated.
449
00:42:43,278 --> 00:42:44,358
Are you still sane?
450
00:42:44,438 --> 00:42:46,558
There's no such value
of feed water
451
00:42:46,638 --> 00:42:47,918
from an exploded tank.
452
00:42:51,118 --> 00:42:53,838
-No.
-Then what kind of nonsense are you talking about?
453
00:42:58,198 --> 00:42:59,198
I...
454
00:43:01,718 --> 00:43:04,838
I was on the premises earlier
before block 4.
455
00:43:06,318 --> 00:43:09,398
I think there's graphite there
on the ground, in the rubble.
456
00:43:10,198 --> 00:43:11,718
You didn't see any graphite.
457
00:43:12,958 --> 00:43:14,518
-Yes, I did.
-You didn't.
458
00:43:15,798 --> 00:43:19,318
You don't have that,
because there isn't one!
459
00:43:20,318 --> 00:43:23,318
What...
Are you saying that the reactor...
460
00:43:23,318 --> 00:43:24,558
What...
Are you saying that the reactor...
461
00:43:25,278 --> 00:43:26,438
Exploded?
462
00:43:28,878 --> 00:43:29,918
Yes.
463
00:43:38,718 --> 00:43:41,718
Sitnikov.
You're a nuclear engineer, just like me.
464
00:43:41,718 --> 00:43:42,758
Sitnikov.
You're a nuclear engineer, just like me.
465
00:43:43,318 --> 00:43:46,318
Then please tell me
like an RBMK reactor core explodes.
466
00:43:46,318 --> 00:43:48,558
Then please tell me
like an RBMK reactor core explodes.
467
00:43:49,438 --> 00:43:52,438
No meltdown,
an explosion. I'm curious.
468
00:43:52,438 --> 00:43:54,438
No meltdown,
an explosion. I'm curious.
469
00:43:55,518 --> 00:43:56,678
I can not.
470
00:43:57,758 --> 00:44:00,838
-Are you stupid?
-No.
471
00:44:01,598 --> 00:44:03,078
Then why can't you?
472
00:44:04,398 --> 00:44:05,878
I can...
473
00:44:07,758 --> 00:44:10,158
I have no explanation
why it exploded.
474
00:44:12,398 --> 00:44:13,438
But he is.
475
00:44:13,718 --> 00:44:16,158
It is enough. I'm going to the roof
the reactor auxiliary system,
476
00:44:16,238 --> 00:44:19,078
you have a direct view
on reactor block 4.
477
00:44:19,438 --> 00:44:23,278
Then I see it with my own...
with your own eyes.
478
00:44:28,838 --> 00:44:31,678
Please forgive me.
479
00:44:31,798 --> 00:44:33,198
Guards! Guards!
480
00:44:34,478 --> 00:44:37,758
Take him to the infirmary.
Or to the hospital if you have to.
481
00:44:53,038 --> 00:44:56,078
The feed water.
He was exposed to it all the time.
482
00:44:58,478 --> 00:44:59,478
Then go.
483
00:45:03,238 --> 00:45:05,638
-What?
-Go to the roof of the auxiliary facility,
484
00:45:05,718 --> 00:45:08,158
-and tell us what you see.
-No.
485
00:45:11,758 --> 00:45:13,078
No, I won't do that.
486
00:45:13,958 --> 00:45:15,078
And whether you go up.
487
00:45:20,238 --> 00:45:23,238
Nothing will happen to you,
You'll see. Come.
488
00:45:23,238 --> 00:45:26,118
Nothing will happen to you,
You'll see. Come.
489
00:46:05,958 --> 00:46:07,158
OK.
490
00:46:08,758 --> 00:46:10,438
All right then. Let's get started.
491
00:46:17,678 --> 00:46:18,678
Leonid.
492
00:46:22,918 --> 00:46:23,958
Leonid.
493
00:46:32,238 --> 00:46:35,318
Turn it up all the way, yeah?
Up to the stop.
494
00:46:44,598 --> 00:46:45,838
I'm sorry.
495
00:46:49,878 --> 00:46:51,158
You don't have to be sorry.
496
00:46:51,838 --> 00:46:54,598
I told you
it wasn't our fault.
497
00:46:57,318 --> 00:46:58,558
That was probably it.
498
00:49:45,598 --> 00:49:48,158
Fast! Move to station!
499
00:50:37,598 --> 00:50:38,638
Hello?
500
00:50:38,758 --> 00:50:40,638
-Valery Legasov?
-Yes?
501
00:50:40,718 --> 00:50:43,718
Legasov, the deputy director of the
Kurchatov Institute for Atomic Energy?
502
00:50:43,718 --> 00:50:45,318
Legasov, the deputy director of the
Kurchatov Institute for Atomic Energy?
503
00:50:45,558 --> 00:50:48,118
-It's me. With who...
-This is Boris Shcherbina speaking,
504
00:50:48,198 --> 00:50:50,158
Deputy Prime Minister
and leader
505
00:50:50,238 --> 00:50:52,398
of the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy.
506
00:50:52,918 --> 00:50:56,238
There was an accident
at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.
507
00:50:57,158 --> 00:50:58,478
How bad is it?
508
00:50:58,958 --> 00:51:01,678
No need to panic. There was a fire.
That's mostly deleted.
509
00:51:01,758 --> 00:51:03,918
The system control tank exploded.
510
00:51:03,998 --> 00:51:06,838
Just the control system tank?
And the core?
511
00:51:06,918 --> 00:51:09,478
We have one
constant cooling arranged.
512
00:51:10,158 --> 00:51:12,838
Yes I understand.
And the contamination?
513
00:51:12,918 --> 00:51:15,918
Weak. The director, Bryukhanov,
speaks of 3.6 x-rays per hour.
514
00:51:15,918 --> 00:51:17,118
Weak. The director, Bryukhanov,
speaks of 3.6 x-rays per hour.
515
00:51:17,198 --> 00:51:19,478
That's not exactly a small amount.
The area should be evacuated...
516
00:51:19,558 --> 00:51:22,798
You are an expert
for RBMK reactors, right?
517
00:51:23,838 --> 00:51:25,038
Yes, I'm exploring...
518
00:51:25,118 --> 00:51:27,598
General Secretary Gorbachev
has an investigative commission
519
00:51:27,678 --> 00:51:29,518
called in for the accident.
520
00:51:29,638 --> 00:51:33,398
You are there.
We'll meet today at 2 p.m.

523
00:51:38,038 --> 00:51:41,438
Legasov, you should be on the commission
if necessary, specific questions
524
00:51:41,518 --> 00:51:44,518
about how it works
of RBMK reactors.
525
00:51:44,518 --> 00:51:45,558
About how it works
of RBMK reactors.
526
00:51:46,038 --> 00:51:49,198
Nothing else.
This isn't about strategies, right?
527
00:51:49,278 --> 00:51:51,958
Yes, of course.
I didn't want to...
