Chernobyl ep6

"There are 16 RBMK reactors running in the soviet union right now, we have to fix them. The only way to do that is to go public, force the central committee to take action"

"What you are proposing is that Legasov humiliate a nation that is obsessed with not being humiliated. We can make a deal with the KGB. You will leave this information out in Vienna and they quietly let us to fix the remaining reactors"

"A deal with the KGB....and I'm naive"

"They'll go after your family, they'll go after your friends"

"You have a chance to talk to the world Valery...if that chance was mine..."

"But it isn't, is it? I have known braver souls than you. Men who had their moment and did nothing, because when its your live and the lives of everyone you love, your moral conviction means nothing. It leaves you. And all you want at that moment, is not to be shot."

"Do you know the name Vasily Ignatenko? He was a fireman. He died two weeks after the accident. I've been looking in on his widow. She gave birth. A girl. The baby lived for four hours. They said the radiation would have killed the mother but the baby absorbed it instead. Her baby. We live in a country, where children have to die to save their mothers. To hell with your deal. And to hell with our lives. Someone has to start telling the truth"
