The Happiness of All Mankind

Chernobyl 1×4

Valery Legasov: You can see the roof is in three levels. We've named them— the small one here is Katya. One thousand roentgen per hour. Presume two hours of exposure is fatal. The one on the side— Nina. Two thousand roentgen. One hour, fatal.

Boris Shcherbina: We couldn't put a man on the moon. At least we can keep a man off a roof.

General Tarakanov: What about this large section here?
Boris Shcherbina: Masha.
Valery Legasov: Twelve thousand roentgen. If you were to stand there in full protective gear head-to-toe for two minutes, your life expectancy would be cut in half. By three minutes, you're dead within months. Even our lunar rovers won't work on Masha. That amount of gamma radiation penetrates everything. The particles literally shred the circuits in microchips apart. If it's more complicated than a light switch, Masha will destroy it.
Boris Shcherbina: It would be fair to say that that piece of roof is the most dangerous place on Earth.

Bacho: I thought, "Well, that's it, Bacho. You put a bullet in someone. You're not you anymore. You'll never be you again." But then you wake up the next morning, and you're still you. And you realize. that was you all along. You just didn't know...
Garo: The happiness of all mankind.
Bacho: What?!
Garo: "Our goal is the happiness of all mankind."

Boris Shcherbina: The official position of the State is that a global nuclear catastrophe is not possible in the Soviet Union. They told the Germans that the highest detected level of radiation was 2,000 roentgen. They gave them the propaganda number. That robot was never going to work...

Boris Shcherbina: The Americans?
General Tarakanov: If the Americans had that kind of technology, do you really think they'd give it to us? And even if they would, the Central Committee will never stoop to ask. You know it, I know it. There are no robots.
Valery Legasov: ... Biorobots.
Boris Shcherbina: What was that?
Valery Legasov: We use biorobots... Men.

Boris Shcherbina: I've know braver souls than you, Khomyuk. Men who had their moment and did nothing. Because when it's your life and the lives of everyone you love, your moral conviction doesn't mean anything. It leaves you. And all you want at that moment is not to be shot.
