VALERY LEGASOV:
All of the good we did...
 it doesn't matter.
 What does matter is that
to them, justice was done.
 See, a just world...
 is a sane world.
 There was nothing sane
 about Chernobyl.

BORIS SHCHERBINA:
 I'm pleased to report
that the situation in Chernobyl
 is stable.
In terms of radiation...
I'm told it's the equivalent
of a chest X-ray.
No! Chernobyl is on fire.
And every atom of uranium
 is like a bullet...
 penetrating everything
 in its path.
-(SCREAMING IN PAIN)
 -Metal, concrete, flesh.
 Now, Chernobyl holds
 over three trillion
 of these bullets.
(STATIC FEEDBACK)
Some of them will not stop
 firing for 50,000 years.
Tell me how to put it out.
You are dealing with something
 that has never occurred
 on this planet before.

Cut the phone lines. Contain

SHCHERBINA: What will happen
 to our boys?
LEGASOV:
The pain is unimaginable.
-(PA CONTINUES)
-(STATIC FEEDBACK)
In three days to three weeks,
 you're dead.
You can see him,
but you cannot touch him.
 Do you understand?
-(PA CONTINUES)
-(STATIC FEEDBACK)
What happened on the night
of the accident?
MAN:
You think the right question
 will give you the truth?
There is no truth.
-(PATIENT SCREAMING)
-LEGASOV: What happened then...
(STATIC FEEDBACK)
...what happened after...
-(GUNSHOT)
 -...all of it...
 All of it...
-(PA CONTINUES)
-(STATIC FEEDBACK)
Madness.
