White Wall

Plus twelve... it's the influx of people into our beloved town in the last month.

"Welcome", some might say.

Now we're up to 431 brave souls struggling to achieve our common goal.

Soon the depleted nuclear waste will start their last journey.

The first batch of uranium rods will be buried 700 meters under the ground.

Too bad we don't make nuclear weapons.

It would be easier to build weapons than dig up half of Norrland.

For some of us, it's the beginning of the end... for others, it's simply the beginning.

Regardless, we won't know how it goes...

You see that? Camera B7.

- No, what is it? - I'm going out to check.

...they take 100.000 years to go down to regular levels.

We can only hope our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren won't judge us too hard.

One day they'll see what we've done and it won't be a pretty sight.

Warning shot!

Actions have consequences.

That's how it is... that's how it's always been.

Today we have -22, cloudy and snowy. Tomorrow we expect a clear-up...

- Hey. - Coffee?

- Happy birthday. - Hooray for me.

- How does it feel? - Feels what?

- How do you feel? - Normal... as usual.

How's "normal"?

Stiff back, headache... nothing a liter of coffee won't cure.

So you don't have a guilty conscience or something like that?

A guilty conscience about what?

Maybe because... you don't deliver what people really expect.

- Should I feel guilty? - I don't know, should you?

Check this out.

No! What the hell... that is not ok!

What... you're sick!

Pull yourself together, for fuck's sake!

Good morning.

- Happy birthday, Lars! - Thanks.

Morning, Atte. Don't you say "happy birthday"?

- No. E2, last night, storage area. - I know.

- The phone will ring soon. - Could we avoid that?

Not as things stand today. We have miles of fencings.

Always the same excuse... too much fencing.

- We do have too much fencing. - Then fix it.

- How? - I don't know, you're head of security.

Have an extra look at this today.

Our birthday boy's wish was to be degraded to "charger".

And he's bringing Helen along... who knows even less about explosives.

So let's pray the Mountain King and hope that everything won't go to hell!

Holmström is already 700 meters underground, in tunnel C6.

Said will make sure you don't blow yourselves up.

Said? You don't have anyone else...

How can you justify burying tons of nuclear waste under Swedish soil?

Considering it all remains toxic and hazardous for 100.000 years.

Responsible and effective use of nuclear power...

...has enabled producing environmentally friendly energy at a low cost.

Ok, next.

But you're head of a company burying a time bomb in our collective backyard.

We are being responsible.

Nuclear waste needs to be taken care of permanently. We cannot leave it in provisional containers.

The only rational option is to deal with nuclear waste just the way Sweden is doing.

The conditions of the site are safe...

...and we're handling this ourselves because we posses the expertise to do it properly.

Ok, so you finally agree to permanently dispose of the facility next month.

After several delays.

- How do you sleep at night? - I sleep very well, thank you, and...

As a Swede, I'm extremely proud to see our nation taking global responsibility...

...and leadership on this matter.

Ok... and how many people you find acceptable to murder to achieve this goal?

- What? - A demonstrator was shot at the construction site...

What you said hasn't leaked.

You must be able to answer this question if it comes up.

In total, 21 people died at the construction site, due to accidents or firearms.

- Can anything justify this loss of lives? - Well... this project has been going on for 20 years...

So you're saying you find a death a year acceptable.

Can't you just do that interview for me? Tell them I'm busy.

Shots were fired last night at the storage area. Can you confirm this?

Yes, one shot. There was an unauthorized entry into the area.

- How's it possible to enter the area without authorization? - We're talking about radical individuals...

...who are trying to obstruct work on the construction site. It's an enormous area.

They want willfully to put their lives to risk. It is possible.

No one gets through those fences and warning signs accidentally.

Stopping anyone entering the storage area is a matter of national security.

Where did I get him?

- Where were you aiming? - What?

- What did you aim for? - The leg... the thigh...

- You can wait here. - No, I want to... it's best if I...

Morning. Astrid. Oskar, the shooter. Oskar. Astrid, the intruder.

- I'm terribly sorry. - Oskar was aiming for the leg.

The vest will not always protect you. You now have some broken ribs.

The wind can divert the bullet...

Why you keep doing this? Seriously.

You really still believe someone can stop this?

- No. - What were you doing with that drone?

I was just taking a walk.

Dammit...

Ok... I had that with me...

...'cause I was working with a drone earlier in the day.

Cut it out. What was it for?

- Has it to do with the opening? - You mean the pictures I took?

No.

Ok.

Ask for me when you're ready to talk.

Thanks.

Aahh!

Don't push that hard!

You need help? You're so damn quick!

Sit behind a computer for 10 years and see how fast you get!

- You know the whole team is betting over you? - Ok... about what?

If you're staying or leaving after the inauguration.

- Did you bet? - I wouldn't know... I need to know a little more first.

- What about dinner tonight? - I have to go to Stockholm.

Said, we're out of detonators!

- You're giving up? - No, I'll finish what I started.

- Didn't you say we're behind schedule? - Yes but we need detonators.

That's your job. . But it's your turn!

- Are we allowed? - Thanks.

- Watch out! - Please...

What the...

- Is it another joke? - It's no joke.

- I already tested this. - It was working fine.

- Try with a Bart. - We don't have any.

- Yes, in a drawer in the storeroom. - We'll have to replace all detonators.

- Can't we test another detonator? - It's a waste of time.

I said I tested it already! Go get a Bart.

- I have to leave. - I'm going up.

- That was a surprise bang... - Said, listen!

Stay calm now!

- Fuck... - What is it?

- We must start all over again. - I'll help them.

- I have nothing better to do. - I don't want that.

This was my idea from the beginning.

- Superman to Zombieman. Do you copy? - Yes.

We have to replace al charges. An electric field has knocked everything out.

The damn EMF detector is not working either.

- Those never work. - There's something strange here.

- I'm coming. - Good. Hurry up.

Hello? Li? Hi.

Can you stay a bit longer? We have kind of a problem here.

Three hours, I'm afraid.

God... thank you, thank you, thank you!

How's Axel? Can you put him on?

Hey, love! How are you?

I'll be a little late tonight. You can stay with Li a bit longer.

Good.

How many you had?

Five?! That's way more than we said! Enough for tonight, honey.
