Honor and Duty Among Comrades
Alexei For their courage I nominated these men for the title of hero of the soviet union. But the committee ruled that because it was not wartime, and because it was merely an accident, they were not worthy of the title hero. What good are honors from such people? These men sacrificed, not for a medal. But because when the time came, it was their duty. Not to the navy, or to the state, but to us. Their comrades. And so, to comrades.
All To comrades!
Legacy of Family Traditions and Consequences
Mikhail They'll send you to the Gulag, like your father.
Alexei Well, it's a family tradition. Isn't it?
Coping with Uncertainty in Crisis Situations
Alexei How are the men?
Dr. Savran How would I know? I don't know the first thing about radiation sickness.
Alexei Please...
Dr. Savran I'm giving them aspirin. And I'm trying to prevent those who are dying from irradiating those of us who still have some hope.
Alexei Pull yourself together. You're an officer in the Soviet Navy. Go back and tell them that they're improving. As you say, you know nothing about radiation sickness. Perhaps they are.
Inadequate Protection for a Dangerous Situation
Mikhail Where are the radiation protective suits?
Konstantin We don't have any. The warehouse was out. So they sent us chemical protective suits instead.
Mikhail They might as well wear raincoats.
Konstantin Misha, I know...
Mikhail Tell the men these will help them.
Konstantin What else can we do?
Mikhail Yeah..
