00:00:42,521 --> 00:00:46,062
Man (recorded voice):
What is the cost of lies?
9
00:00:46,146 --> 00:00:49,021
It's not that we'll mistake
them for the truth.
10
00:00:49,104 --> 00:00:52,979
The real danger is that
if we hear enough lies,
11
00:00:53,062 --> 00:00:56,104
then we no longer
recognize the truth at all.
12
00:00:57,605 --> 00:00:59,271
What can we do then?
13
00:00:59,354 --> 00:01:02,021
What else is left
but to abandon even
the hope of truth
14
00:01:02,104 --> 00:01:06,688
and content
ourselves instead
with stories?
15
00:01:06,771 --> 00:01:10,896
In these stories,
it doesn't matter
who the heroes are.
16
00:01:10,979 --> 00:01:14,521
All we want to know is:
who is to blame?
17
00:01:14,605 --> 00:01:17,187
In this story,
it was Anatoly Dyatlov.
18
00:01:17,271 --> 00:01:18,979
He was the best choice.
19
00:01:19,062 --> 00:01:21,062
An arrogant, unpleasant man,
20
00:01:21,146 --> 00:01:24,354
he ran the room that night,
he gave the orders...
21
00:01:24,438 --> 00:01:26,354
and no friends.
22
00:01:26,438 --> 00:01:30,104
Or, at least,
not important ones.
23
00:01:31,563 --> 00:01:35,438
And now Dyatlov will spend
the next ten years
24
00:01:35,521 --> 00:01:37,563
in a prison labor camp.
25
00:01:37,646 --> 00:01:41,021
Of course, that sentence
is doubly unfair.
26
00:01:42,479 --> 00:01:46,187
There were far greater
criminals than him at work.
27
00:01:47,979 --> 00:01:50,896
And as for what Dyatlov did do,
28
00:01:50,979 --> 00:01:53,354
the man doesn't deserve prison.
29
00:01:54,521 --> 00:01:57,354
He deserves death.
30
00:01:58,813 --> 00:02:00,146
(recorder clicks)
31
00:02:00,229 --> 00:02:01,688
(clears throat)
32
00:02:10,187 --> 00:02:15,104
But instead, ten years
for "criminal mismanagement."
33
00:02:15,187 --> 00:02:17,187
What does that mean?
34
00:02:17,271 --> 00:02:21,021
No one knows.
It doesn't matter.
35
00:02:23,146 --> 00:02:26,688
What does matter
is that, to them,
36
00:02:26,771 --> 00:02:28,979
justice was done.
37
00:02:29,062 --> 00:02:32,646
Because, you see, to them
38
00:02:32,730 --> 00:02:36,438
a just world is a sane world.
39
00:02:38,896 --> 00:02:41,896
There was nothing sane
about Chernobyl.

00:29:07,146 --> 00:29:10,104
-What about radiation?
-Obviously, down here
it's nothing.
354
00:29:10,187 --> 00:29:12,896
But in the reactor building,
I'm being told
355
00:29:12,979 --> 00:29:15,021
3.6 roentgen per hour.
356
00:29:15,104 --> 00:29:17,271
Well, that's not great,
but it's not horrifying.
357
00:29:17,354 --> 00:29:18,937
Not at all.
358
00:29:19,021 --> 00:29:22,062
-From the feedwater,
I assume?
-Mm-hmm.
359
00:29:22,146 --> 00:29:24,438
We'll have
to limit shifts
360
00:29:24,521 --> 00:29:26,605
to six hours at a time,
but otherwise...
361
00:29:26,688 --> 00:29:29,271

should be checking regularly.
362

the good meter from the safe.
363
00:29:35,146 --> 00:29:38,313
Right.
I'll call Maryin.
364
00:29:39,271 --> 00:29:41,521
Have them wake up the local
executive committee.
365
00:29:41,605 --> 00:29:43,771

I apologize for

Rest assured, we are all
very safe down here.
444
00:38:15,521 --> 00:38:18,187
We built this shelter
to withstand a nuclear attack
445

by the Americans,
so I think we'll be fine.
446
00:38:23,271 --> 00:38:25,605
As you can see, we have
experienced an accident.
447
00:38:25,688 --> 00:38:28,271
A large control tank
malfunctioned,
448
00:38:28,354 --> 00:38:32,229
damaging reactor Building 4
and starting a fire.
449
00:38:32,313 --> 00:38:35,979
Now, I have spoken directly
to Deputy Secretary Maryin.
450
00:38:36,062 --> 00:38:38,313
Maryin spoke
to Deputy Chief Frolyshev,
451
00:38:38,396 --> 00:38:41,605
Frolyshev to Central Committee
member Dolgikh,
452
00:38:41,688 --> 00:38:44,979
and Dolgikh to
General Secretary Gorbachev.
453
00:38:45,062 --> 00:38:46,896
Now...
454
00:38:46,979 --> 00:38:52,229
Because the Central Committee
has the greatest respect
455
00:38:52,313 --> 00:38:56,271
for the work of the Pripyat
Executive Committee,
456
00:38:56,354 --> 00:39:00,354
they have asked me to brief you
on matters as they stand, so...
457
00:39:01,896 --> 00:39:05,646
First, the accident...
(stammers) is well
under control.
458
00:39:05,730 --> 00:39:10,979
And second, because the efforts
of the Soviet nuclear industry
459
00:39:11,062 --> 00:39:14,771
are considered key state
secrets, it is important
460
00:39:14,855 --> 00:39:18,187
that we ensure
that this incident
461
00:39:18,271 --> 00:39:20,354
has no adverse consequences.
462
00:39:20,438 --> 00:39:24,563
Now, to prevent a panic,
the Central Committee
have ordered
463
00:39:24,646 --> 00:39:27,521
a detachment of military
police to Pripyat.
464
00:39:27,605 --> 00:39:29,438
How large of a detachment?
465
00:39:30,855 --> 00:39:32,896
Between two
and four thousand men.
466
00:39:32,979 --> 00:39:35,021

467
00:39:35,104 --> 00:39:38,937

How dangerous is this?
468
00:39:39,021 --> 00:39:43,021
There's mild radiation,
but it's limited
to the plant itself.
469
00:39:43,104 --> 00:39:46,187
-Petrov: No, it isn't.
-Excuse me?
470
00:39:46,271 --> 00:39:50,187
You saw men outside vomiting.
471
00:39:50,271 --> 00:39:52,104
You saw men with burns.
472
00:39:53,187 --> 00:39:55,563
There's more radiation
than they're saying.
473
00:39:55,646 --> 00:39:57,937
We have wives here,
we have children.
474
00:39:58,021 --> 00:40:00,730
I say we evacuate the town.
475
00:40:00,813 --> 00:40:02,563
Bryukhanov:
Gentlemen--
476
00:40:02,646 --> 00:40:06,855
Please, please.
My wife is here.
477
00:40:06,937 --> 00:40:08,979
Do you think I would
keep her in Pripyat
478
00:40:09,062 --> 00:40:10,396
if it wasn't safe?
479
00:40:10,479 --> 00:40:14,104
Bryukhanov, the air is glowing.
480
00:40:14,187 --> 00:40:17,229
The Cherenkov effect.
Completely normal phenomenon.
481
00:40:17,313 --> 00:40:19,187
It can happen
with minimal radiation.
482

(murmuring stops)
484
00:40:29,605 --> 00:40:33,646
I wonder how many of you
know the name of this place.
485
00:40:35,813 --> 00:40:39,396
We all call it
"Chernobyl," of course.
486
00:40:39,479 --> 00:40:41,813
What is its real name?
487
00:40:43,271 --> 00:40:46,730
The Vladimir I. Lenin
Nuclear Power Station.
488
00:40:46,813 --> 00:40:48,855
Exactly.
489
00:40:50,979 --> 00:40:54,855
Vladimir I. Lenin.
490
00:41:01,979 --> 00:41:05,688
And how proud he would be
of you all tonight.
491
00:41:06,730 --> 00:41:09,021

and the passion you have
for the people.
493
00:41:13,688 --> 00:41:17,896
For is that not the sole purpose
of the apparatus of the State?
494
00:41:19,563 --> 00:41:21,646
Sometimes, we forget.
495
00:41:22,855 --> 00:41:25,521
Sometimes, we fall prey to fear.
496
00:41:27,396 --> 00:41:31,187
But our faith in
Soviet socialism
497
00:41:31,271 --> 00:41:34,187
will always be rewarded.
498
00:41:36,354 --> 00:41:40,605
Now, the State tells us
the situation here is
not dangerous.
499
00:41:40,688 --> 00:41:43,229
Have faith, comrades.
500
00:41:44,855 --> 00:41:48,313
The State tells us
it wants to prevent a panic.
501
00:41:48,396 --> 00:41:50,605
Listen well.
502
00:41:53,062 --> 00:41:57,271
It's true, when the people see
the police, they will be afraid.
503
00:41:58,605 --> 00:42:00,730
But it is my experience
504
00:42:01,896 --> 00:42:03,979
that when the people
ask questions
505
00:42:04,062 --> 00:42:07,354
that are not in their
own best interest,
506
00:42:07,438 --> 00:42:09,354
they should simply be told
507
00:42:09,438 --> 00:42:11,605
to keep their minds
on their labor
508
00:42:12,605 --> 00:42:17,479
and leave matters
of the State to the State.
509
00:42:19,146 --> 00:42:21,229
We seal off the city.
510
00:42:22,396 --> 00:42:24,062
No one leaves.
511
00:42:24,771 --> 00:42:26,896
And cut the phone lines.
512
00:42:26,979 --> 00:42:29,771
Contain the spread
of misinformation.
513
00:42:32,438 --> 00:42:35,229
That is how we keep the people
514
00:42:35,313 --> 00:42:38,479
from undermining the fruits
of their own labor.
515
00:42:41,521 --> 00:42:43,313
Yes, comrades...
516
00:42:44,605 --> 00:42:48,646
we will all be rewarded
for what we do here tonight.
517
00:42:50,979 --> 00:42:55,479
This is our moment to shine.

into the reactor building.
524
00:43:49,521 --> 00:43:50,979
The large dosimeter
from the safe,
525
00:43:51,062 --> 00:43:52,896
the one with
the 1,000-roentgen capacity--
526
00:43:52,979 --> 00:43:54,313
What was the number?
527
00:43:57,563 --> 00:43:58,771
There was none.
528
00:43:58,855 --> 00:44:01,730
The meter burned out
the second it was turned on.
529
00:44:02,563 --> 00:44:04,438
-It's typical.
-See? This is
what Moscow does.
530
00:44:04,521 --> 00:44:07,646

531
00:44:07,730 --> 00:44:09,937
We found another dosimeter
532
00:44:10,021 --> 00:44:11,979
from the military
fire department.
533
00:44:12,062 --> 00:44:15,021
It only goes
to 200 roentgen, but it's
better than the small ones.
534
00:44:15,104 --> 00:44:16,229
And?
535
00:44:17,479 --> 00:44:19,354
It maxed out.
536
00:44:19,438 --> 00:44:21,021
Two hundred roentgen.
537
00:44:23,521 --> 00:44:25,605
What game are you playing?
538
00:44:25,688 --> 00:44:27,104
No, I--I--
539
00:44:27,187 --> 00:44:30,813
I asked him, he took
multiple measurements,
he's my best man.
540
00:44:30,896 --> 00:44:33,563
It's another faulty meter.
You're wasting our time.
541
00:44:33,646 --> 00:44:35,396
I checked the meter
against the control.
542
00:44:35,479 --> 00:44:37,730
What's wrong with you?
How'd you get that number
543
00:44:37,813 --> 00:44:40,062
from feedwater leaking
from a blown tank?
544
00:44:43,563 --> 00:44:47,104
-You don't.
-Then what the fuck
are you talking about?
545
00:44:51,229 --> 00:44:53,104
I, um...
(clears throat)
546
00:44:54,937 --> 00:44:58,438
I walked around
the exterior of Building 4.
547
00:44:59,479 --> 00:45:02,937
I think there's graphite
on the ground in the rubble.
548
00:45:03,937 --> 00:45:05,730
You didn't see graphite.
549
00:45:06,646 --> 00:45:08,563
-I did.
-You didn't.
550
00:45:09,479 --> 00:45:13,271
You didn't!
Because it's not there!
551
00:45:14,146 --> 00:45:15,771
What?
552
00:45:15,855 --> 00:45:19,354
Are you suggesting
the core... what?
553
00:45:19,438 --> 00:45:21,605
Exploded?
554
00:45:23,271 --> 00:45:24,605
Yes.

557

Please tell me how an RBMK
reactor core explodes.
558
00:45:44,479 --> 00:45:48,146
Not a meltdown, an explosion.
559
00:45:48,229 --> 00:45:49,979
I'd love to know.
560
00:45:51,146 --> 00:45:52,479
I can't.
561
00:45:53,354 --> 00:45:54,855
Are you stupid?
562
00:45:55,979 --> 00:45:58,771
-No.
-Then why can't you?
563
00:46:00,104 --> 00:46:01,688
I... (stammers)
564
00:46:03,646 --> 00:46:06,271

it could explode.

-Dyatlov: Enough!
566

I'll go up
to the vent block roof.
567

From there you can look right
down into reactor Building 4.
568
00:46:15,813 --> 00:46:19,479
I'll see it with my own...
my own eyes.

Any contamination?

Bryukhanov, is reporting
