Will you open the curtains?

CHERNOBYL (2019)

↳ 1x05 Vichnaya Pamyat

“To be a scientist is to be naive. We are so focused on our search for truth, we fail to consider how few actually want us to find it.”

Chernobyl End Credits:

Legasov was aided by dozens of scientists who worked tirelessly alongside him at Chernobyl. Some spoke out against the official accounts of events and were subject to denunciation, arrest, and imprisonment. The character of Ulana Khomyuk was created to represent them all and to honor their dedication and service to truth and humanity. 

Chernobyl - 1:23:45

We did everything right.

Chernobyl: 1:23:45 

Chernobyl - Please Remain Calm

It’s not three roentgen. It’s 15,000. 

What does that number mean?

 It means the core is open. It means the fire we’re watching with our own eyes is giving nearly twice the radiation of released by the bomb in Hiroshima. And that’s every single hour. Hour after hour, 20 hours since the explosion, so 40 bombs worth by now. Forty-eight more tomorrow. And it will not stop. Not in a week, not in a month. It will burn and spread its poison until the entire continent is dead.

Chernobyl - Open Wide, O Earth

When this is over, will they be looked after? I don’t know.

Do you know what we’re doing here?! Tell those geniuses what they have done! I don’t give a fuck! Tell them! Go tell them! Ryzhkov! Go tell them he’s a joke! Tell fucking Gorbachev!
