May I your attention?
Mr. Williams, standing.
Raise your right hand.
Do you solemnly swear that the
testimony you give is the truth...
the whole truth and
nothing but the truth?
- Yes sir.
- Thank you. Have a seat.
Mr. Williams, can you tell what
happened in the Deepwater Horizon?
Around 9:30, I was on
the phone with my wife.
It was when I
heard that whistle.
I heard the engines
revolutionized.
The hiss became a roar.
So strong that I
could not describe it.
A few seconds later,
there was a huge explosion.
Projectiles flying everywhere.
The heat was overwhelming.
Can you explain how the
Deepwater Horizon alarm work?
The general alert
to all platform...
One: fire, two:
combustible gas...
Three: toxic gas.
Each hazard has a siren
and a particular light.
On the night of April 20...
Have you heard any of these
alarms on the Deepwater Horizon?
No sir.
Do you know why he did
not hear the alarm, sir?
Sr. Williams?
Sr. Williams!

I'll stay on the north side.
Examine it.

How the surface
of the wellhead is?
Little corrosion. No more than
you would expect in this age.
Well, register it. Upload.
I had a very strange dream.
I was in?
I was... No. I
was at a concert...
and to one side of
the stage it was a...
a rabbit two legs.
I do not know what
is the scariest part.
Listen out.
Listen out.
I moved...
and then he imitated
everything I did.
Do not tell me more, I
know what will happen.
- I think the rabbit was my mother.
- Mother. Yes I know.
Thank you. Now I'll have
nightmares. Thank you.
- It was hostile.
- Yes.
- A hostile rabbit.
- I get it.
Sorry. What do you do?
That is all? So you'll leave
me for 21 days and nights?
I let you sleep.
I need other things
besides sleep.
Promises not to
mention your mother.
Agree?
You want the 30?
60...
or love package 90 seconds?
The 90 full seconds.
It's a lot of pressure!
A lot of pressure!
I will miss that laugh.
- That mouth.
- What mouth?
Let me see your eyes.
I love you.
This is not our deal.
Good. Good.
Always overestimate your
ability as mechanics.
What did you say?
Come on, honey.
I drive.
- I drive.
- Do not.
- I drive.
- Do not.
Por favorcito?
- You want to drive?
- Yes.
Sell that junk
and buy a Ducati.
Strong. As goat glassware.
I did not touch the door
because I want a brother.
All right. What disturbing.
It is not supposed to
know anything about it.
- Only babies are cute.
- Strong.
- Sit down.
- I want a brother.
- How is everything?
- All right.
- Honey, show dad.
- I have not finished.
- You did a great job.
- It's time.
Is incredible.
You can not see me.
- Why?
- It makes me feel uncomfortable.
- What do you see?
- Enough!
- All right.
- My dad is Mike.
It works on a platform that
pumps oil from under the sea.
No, the Deepwater not pumped
a drop of oil. We exploration.
Dad and his friends
search for oil...
installed pipes for a
boring team arrives...
- Do not say "boring"
- Yes they are.
But even those boring
pump need anything.
Oil rises naturally...
- Silence!
- Agree.
Because oil is a monster.
Like the dinosaurs
that are now oil.
So for 300 million years...
these dinosaurs have been
compressed more, and more, and...
We get it. Just
say "more" twice.
Because there squashing
kilometers of land and sea.
They are trapped. Crabby.
So Dad and his friends
make a hole in its roof.
Yes!
And those old dinosaurs
can not believe it.
So they run to the
new hole. And bam!
Run into a huge machine
that he and his friends...
acenico put under
the floor called...
- Preventer rebellions?
- Blowout.
And they hit a fluid
called "mud"...
Well, put it there. And
they stuck in the straw.
The mud is so thick and heavy
that prevent monsters rise.
And they go to the next site.
Then they get bored, as
if they had done something.
Do not tell them boring.
But it was my dad
who tamed dinosaurs.
- Yes!
- Yes.
It was amazing. Stay
forever 10 years.
- Dad, get me a fossil.
- Oh yeah.
I will do it.
I want to hold it while I say,
"My dad dressage to the dinosaurs".
Tell him Maggie dad.
His dad works at the zoo.
It really took a penguin.
That's not fair!
- A penguin.
- How do you compete against a penguin?
- With a fossil.
- There should be rules.
Oh no. Sweetie!
What?
- He goes to empty the can.
- Stop it!
Detenlo.
Buy gas to get to work...
to buy gas to
go to work again.
To buy more gas
to get to work.
Do you know the passwords?
Where is the safe?
- What you call Schuman?
- What are you talking about?
- What do you care about?
- I was scared in the helicopter again.
Give me a little.
Honey, one worries about a
sailor when stop complaining.
- Do not use my words against me.
- If I do it.
- Do not do it.

If I care.
Not the tie. It is the color.

Welcome aboard!
You guys already finished?
I do not know what
to say, Mr. Jimmy.
- They already finished?
- I do not know what to say.
- Someone has to talk to Vidrine.
- What? They already finished?
- Hey, Skip.
- Yes sir.
- The recording equipment already going?
- Yes, Schlumberger is outside.
It was supposed to prove
in concrete down there.
- They already finished?
- Mike, how are you?
Skip, we're done?
- You have to talk to Vidrine.
- With Vidrine?
- What did he say?
- I hear nothing.
What Skip said?
Should verify the cement bond.
I think they left
without doing so.
What? Do not you...?
- Schlumberger BP sent home.
- Seriously?
Yes.
Kuchta, what does
the Bankston here?
- Good day to you too.
- What does Bankston here?
Good morning, Pete.
Te da verme want?
I am always glad
to see you, Andrea.
Where is the
bathroom, Williams?
The sign says "bath".
- Skip told you log cement?
- Do not.
Are we done here and
I'm just finding me?
I do not know what time could do
the test, because they already go.
- I'm just the captain.
- How came the positive test?
Bien. Ya are uninstalling.
- Desistalando?
- How are we?

The sea is quiet.
Right in the middle

- Problems with propellers?
- Andrea.
Yes sir?
Captain Landry called the Bankston
and see what it does and why.
Indeed, Mr. Jimmy.
Damon Bankston, here
Deepwater Horizon, change.
Deepwater Horizon, here
Damon Bankston, go ahead.
The manager wants to
know what they do here.
I knew this
monster we go next.
Better call her "beast".
When are we supposed we?
I was told to start charging
the drilling mud at 18:00.
Go.
I knew I did test
positive pressure.
They assume that the
negative will just as well.
- I was told to get ready to leave.
- Who?
Los de British Petroleum.
Vidrine, Kaluza. No s.
I hope the order to pick up
your mud. Any other question?
No that's all.
Vidrine and Kaluza, BP expect
to have tamed this beast...
and prepare to move the mud
at 18:00. Right, Captain?
Right. Good
morning, Mr. Jimmy.
Suddenly. Just like that.
Thank you, Captain.
Damn phones still
do not work, Mike.
I got along with you.
Do me a favor. Go to
the dugout drilling.
Ask Jason if he Schlumberger
cement was tested.
It is understood.
Thank you.
Gentlemen, could you tell me about
the situation of testing cement?
Proof?
They will have planned? Did
they're doing? Already they did?
Yes?
Not really. Hey, Ronnie.
The breakdown of your
Mustang could be the starter.
I think they could
be the s spark plugs.
Or a cable. Or the dealer.
- It Sounds as if the engine fails?
- Do not.
I'll keep thinking about all the
expensive things that could be damaged.
- Oh, thank you.
- Hears...
Automatic or standard?
Do you know me?
And stops forcing speeds.
- Clear. Says Mr. Toyota.
- Yes.
Attention on the
platform. Safety Notice.
Moving equipment.
Come here, baby.
Come here. Come.
Cancel.
Drain 400 barrels of mud.
It is understood. Starting.
Insert drill pipe is
very funny, very funny.
Shut up.
Hears. Duck!
What's up, Mike?
- How are you, Caleb?
- Hi Mike.
- I was much better two hours ago.
- Why?
I was asleep.
Yes?
Yes. We were awoken
to work overtime.
We have many pipes that
if we go out at night.
Street clothes? Cute.
Jimmy is angry. He wants
to know if we tested cement.
I'm not sure. I
do not think so.
- Do not? Hey, Shane!
- Yes?
Come here. Schlumberger
cement auditioned?
I do not know. I do not
believe. I just woke up, so...
- Is it silly?
- I do not know if it's silly...
but not the smartest.
Look, like
synchronized swimmers.
If you think too much,
he'll have a headache.
- Get out of here.
- Yes.
Up up.
- I care workers.
- Hello.
Why the hell do
you dress like that?
Jimmy wants to know if
Chlumberger auditioned cement.
- Which?
- Proof of cement. Please cooperate.
- Who?
- Enough, Jimmy is very annoying.
- Schlumberger, snobbish.
- Did we do the test?
No, Vidrine and Kaluza sent
them home without testing.
- Why the hell would they do that?
- I did not explain his reasons, Mike.
I guess it has to do with...
Money, money, money, money
Money!
Their phones do not work.
Shit.
Hey, Mr. Jimmy.
Ahead.
Schlumberger BP sent
home without testing.
There was no cement bond log.
Thanks, Mike.
Mike, the "A"
station had a fault.
- Dammit.
- Again the blue screen.
Hey, Duck, your work station?
My screen is unstable. And
my smoke alarm does not work.
How are you, Mike?
Shit.
I'll get my tools to fix it.
The we managed with
plasters and chewing gum.
Every time I start a bandage,
there are three or four under.
That is not working.
"Money" again. Come on.
- They weeks rehearsing.
- Money money...
No, the best part.
It's the best part! Money!
It could kill for money
The almighty dollar.
Hello, Hollywood.
- Mike!
- What there, Dale?!
- What do you know? We already finished?
- I do not know much. Possibly yes.
Yes, I'll go fishing
tonight. Covert.
I feel that we will go tonight. I
think that no one will go fishing!
Are you going to use your crane?
To catch a beluga whale or orca?
Good idea.
Shit. Willing to bet that we will be
in the same position in the next well?
- Yes. Odds?
- 50 to one.
Shit. I do not
accept that bet.
30 one. Same position.
Forget this.
Mike Williams,
you're a cheapskate!
- Patrick.
- What's up, Mike?
- What do you know?
- They say we complete.
- Finished?
- Yes.
- Who told you?
- I can not tell you.
How can you not?
- I can not.
- Why?
I can not tell you. But
Gordon is looking for.
- Gordon told you finished?
- Do not.
- What does he want?
- I dont know. Show you something.
- What do you know?
- That're done.
You have been to my workshop?
- No.
- Do not touch my stuff.
- Do not touch anything.
- Go to fix something.
- Good morning, Mike.
- Equally. Shit.
Wait honey.
What were you saying?
Good news. The
helicopter crashed.
Shit, I assumed yes
and got married again.
Yes? Is rich? Remember
what your mother said:
"It's just as easy to
marry a rich, Felicia".
If I had a nickel for every
silly saying my mom...
not need a rich husband. By the
way, you have to fix the stove.
The fix when I get
back, do not worry.
Approach the computer.
Come. Approach the computer.
Let me see your eyes.
How is everything there?
Always equal.
The infernal pit.
- List?
- Ready? Three...
Of...
- One...
- Now!
That face.
Sociopath.
That is concentration.
Determination. Intensity. Impulse.
- I beat you.
- I hate to lose you. I hate it.
- I'll see you soon, okay?
- Agree. See you.
Why touch my things?
They touch my stuff.
They touch my stuff.
They want us to go
to the next site.
Command.
Did you consult this with someone
from BP? Kaluza. Vidrine, anyone?
Vidrine consulted it
with me. He proposed.
Bob, I'll tell you what
I consider most important.
We must go to Macondo
to Kaskida before 16 May.
Kaskida is
extraordinarily promising.
Entre tres y cuatro mil millones
de barriles. Vale ms que BP.
Parezco Santa Claus?
S te pareces un
poco a Santa Claus.
El entrenador Miles jug en
Michigan, pero tiene alma de Louisiana.
- Saben?
- Oye, solo porque ganamos...
Hablas en prural, como
si hubieras estado ah.
Estudiaste ah?
Desde beb, me ensearon a ir al bao
y a decir: "Nos vemos en Tuscalosa".
Trabajan para el gobierno?
Limpian una sala limpia.
An hay Iodo del Itimo brote.
Ms de 35 MPa. Ayuda a limpiar!
Es muchsimo.
Mira lo que le hizo la presin
a esta barra durante el brote.
- Habra que exhibirla.
- S.
Oye, Patrick dice que
tienes algo para m.
S, seor. Hace 4 das se
averi el separador de esquistos 4.
Lo revis y encontr
el origen del problema.
Mira esto. Lo guard para
ti desde la Itimas vez.
Es un diente?
Whoops! You just made a
little girl very happy.
And to his father.
Thank you. I owe you one.
Well, let's put
together the kelly.
Hey, Gordon.
Hey, you are going to be
furious when he finds out...
They sent him home.
Yes.
Come with me, Mike.
- Where we go?
- A murder BP executives.
- I have a hammer and a screwdriver.
- Excellent.
Mike, do you brush
your teeth this morning?
Yes sir.
- Why?
- Did you use dental floss?
Not because?
In the long run it will save you
a lot of pain and a lot of money.
- Jimmy is going to yell at BP.
- No cement was tested.
They did nothing.
Come with BP.
What's up? Would
you owe money?
Come on, Mike, do
not stay behind.
Shit!
Very good.
Don, look at line 51. Your
estimated maximum cost.
I do not see 51.
Don Vidrine and
the very Bob Kaluza.
- Welcome, Mr. Jimmy.
- Yes.
So now they placed 15
cubic meters of cement.
Yes.
It is all that protects
us from a blowout.
- Already he solidified?
- Yes.
Was there enough time?
Doing it properly takes time.
If the cement is at
risk, above all, too.
It is not at risk. Houston
does not have a problem.
I guess Schlumberger
said the same.
And its adhesion test
concluded the same.
We trust the integrity
of our cement, right?
We feel comfortable with
their integrity, yes.
You. Are like my grandfather.
Sorry?
My grandfather never
went to the dentist.
I did not want to know what was wrong
for not dealing with the problem.
You do not want to know whether
the cement is right or not...
because they were exceeded by
43 days and 50 million dollars.
Should be included
in that, Mr. Jimmy.
BP eligi lugar para perforar, Bob.
Las consecuencias son su responsabilidad.
Claro, yo tengo que lidiar
con ellas, as que me incluyo.
El punto es que los enviaron
a casa sin hacer la prueba...
porque podran decirles
algo que no queran or.
Cunto les habra
costado la prueba? 125 mil?
Su empresa vale 180 mil
millones y son tacaos.
Por eso vale 186 mil millones.
Nos preocupamos por los gastos.
Y yo por mi plataforma.
Mi gente vive ah.
Uds. solo la rentan.
Don. Sabemos que necesitamos hacer
una pausa para dar mantenimiento.
Mike, cuntas mquinas
necesitan reparacin?
- 390, Sr. Jimmy.
- 390?
S, seor. Casi el 10%
de las mquinas a bordo.
- Mencineme algunas.
- Algunas?
Quiero saber qu mquinas
esenciales estn descompuestas.
Mierda. Por dnde empiezo?
Penetration station A, the
processing controller BOP...
phones, storage, GPS
antenna, CCTV, internet...
double key, winches, water
pumps, smoke detectors.
And they're sweating because the
air conditioning does not work.
All except the
bathrooms, right?
No, they not serve, but
I got it, but Engineering.
Who are you?
Mike Williams,
chief of maintenance.
I'll tell you what I told them
their executives in the helicopter.
And what visit as timely.
We will ensure the
well as it should...
before they come to
start extracting oil.
Unfortunately, I do
it properly takes time.
43 days?
44 days?
Keep counting, Bob.
45 days?
46 days?
Take a cookie, Bob.
I can not make
an adhesion test.
I'll tell you what we'll do.
We will test negative
pressure, before anything else.
If you consider indispensable.
I consider essential,
and you should.
Especially since we have no idea
if the well is stable or not.
Dial tone! The day
is getting better.
Mr. Anderson, Mr. Jimmy talks.
We will test negative pressure.
We start with 915 m of pipe.
Thank you.
43 days late
Young, excuse me. Where I
can find Mr. Mike Williams?
In the maintenance shop,
next to the cafeteria.
- Thank you very much.
- Good day sir.
Equally.
Sr. Williams?
Mr. Vidrine, is lost?
Not at all.
I came to see for a moment.
What can I help you?
It seemed he had something
more to say at the meeting.
I want to say time.
So the platform does not work?
- I did not say that.
- I thought so.
Por qu esten
mi taller, Sr. Vidrine?
BP es una empresa
grande, Mike.
Una organizacin muy
extensa y compleja.
Con muchas piezas
interconectadas, Millones.
Miles y miles de personas.
Y trabajamos muy duro para
asegurarnos de que esas personas...
y esas piezas funcionen
adecuadamente como medios para un fin.
Un fin muy
redituable para todos.
Esa es la perspectiva general.
Hay perspectivas particulares, como
usted y sus baos descompuestos.
Pero el punto es que
todo estinterconectado.
Todo es un flujo.
Si el suyo no
funciona, nada funciona.
Yo no funciono. No funcionamos.
Todo el maldito tren no funciona.
Me entiende, Sr. Williams?
Toma medicamentos,
Sr. Vidrine?
Solo intento evaluar qu
tan estable y cerca...
estel tren en las vas.
Bien. Ya entiendo.
- Quiere mi opinin? En verdad?
- S.
All right. I think trying to
exhaust the fuel at landfall.
Running out of fuel on
landing is not smart.
Is it a bad idea.
Hope as a tactic.
Take note. And I
appreciate it very much.
It is only the
opinion of an employee.
Is a catfish?
Yes. 30 kilos.
How it is called that
tactic? Manually Fishing?
Hand fishing. We
fished catfish by hand.
It's funny, when my best
friend and I go fishing hand...
we just have whiskey and a
lake. We walked down the ramp.
We seek the largest and
darkest hole that fits our arm.
And we hope that a huge
catfish bite us very strong...
to remove it.
We want to bite
us. That it is.
But we are ready to bite.
We shoes, hats, gloves, hats,
sunglasses, and we are ready.
I do not put my hand into the hole
monster and I hope everything goes well.
Hope is not a tactic, Don.
Thanks for your time.
- Have a good day, sir.
- Equally.
Unfortunate.
NEGATIVE PRESSURE TES CONFIRMS wellbore integrity
Attention, the negative
pressure test will begin.
Non-essential, leave the
platform floor, the hot...
Virala into the current.
Ten degrees right. Block 176.
Right ten degrees.
Veering to 176.
Turning.
- Damon B. Bankson...
- Is your fifth cup?
I only ask.
Make sure all
are up and ready.
It could be the ultimate test.
It is understood.
- Another negative pressure test?
- Another test.
- Problem?
- It is a problem well.
They all are. It
is a difficult site.
- Have deck, Hollywood?
- Well, as we entered.
In position. Immobilized.
- Immobilized 176, Captain.
- Turn ten degrees to the right.
- Immobilized. They can take the test.
- Yes.
Go ahead, Jason.
It is understood. We
close the preventer.
Starting negative
pressure test.
Starting pressure
test drill pipe.
Do you think that
is the ultimate test?
Shit, I hope so, yes.
This is the Hell Pit.
Well, that will not last long.
Is that your best shot?
Goal!
0.69 megapascales.
No problem. Pushes only
slightly. Not to make it too easy.
Don, did you get the bottle of
wine that I sent you a month ago?
Yes thank you very much. Not
only I got, and I drank me.
- Well, no?
- Thank you very much.
It is a Super Tuscan, right?
Gaya, right? I know, you like.
Gaja.
Sorry?
Gaja. So it called.
I think they're as half.
How much coffee
you're drinking, Hank?
Captain, I left it
several months ago.
Now I just drink green tea.
Do not drink coffee.
I do yoga every day.
I've been two weeks.
3.1 MPa.
This does not look good.
Pressure warning.
6.2 MPa.
What the hell? Dammit.
Alert pressure.
9.6 MPa.
Alert pressure.
Alert pressure.
Alert pressure.
It stabilized at
9.6 MPa, Mr. Jimmy.
It's a lot of pressure.
Yes. Enough to
split a car in two.
Opening the upper
annular closure.
Hollywood, opens the
valve of the drill pipe.
We must release pressure.
Gentlemen, I'm sorry to say,
but did not pass the test.
Not necessarily.
Don, a good test...
Starts at zero. Continues
to zero. Ends in zero.
Thank you.
Okay, there was pressure,
but not out mud tube.
Explain me that.
It is a confusing
result, I admit.
Kaluza and I have talked
about the drill pipe...
nauseum.
It has something rare. He says
they are false pressure readings.
False readings?
Yes. It says Jason
know what you mean.
This meter is set
to zero flow, right?
Right.
Look.
Listen! We needed that.
false reading.
There is a bubble pressure...
wrapped around

Guys, your boots are dirty
with drilling mud? Do not?
Hey, Don.
The discussion became heated.
We have a problem
with the drill pipe...
or the sensor, which is
giving a false reading.
Or any of the other
thousand pieces down there.
We'll find out...
making a negative pressure
test on the line choke.
If the pressure is
zero, Mr Jimmy...
It will be all
we need to know.
We agree?
That I do not know, but
it never hurts to test.
Perfect.
How is everything
here, Mr. Jimmy?
Great. Is not that right, Don?
Yes it is.
BP is fine.
So is.
- The BP oil.
- Indeed.
We only hire workers
to make a hole.
That's right, Mr. Jimmy.
But we have 50 days
late. And the hole is not.
Mr. Jimmy, there is a
problem in the kitchen.
- Many people. A security issue.
- It only takes a minute.
They are 43 days late,
not 50. It is arithmetic.
The delivery date was March

Do you think it's true?

It makes sense. It

Yes! Good job!
The Deepwater Horizon BP will
receive the award at the safest...
for the seventh
consecutive year.
And it all starts with the
man they call "Mr. Jimmy".
Sr. Jimmy, Sr. Jimmy.
Some words.
He remained at zero, boss. He
passed the test. No pressure.
Congratulations,
you passed the test.
There 9.6 MPa in
the drill pipe still.
The drill pipe and line
choke must be equal.
They should be identical.
We know that there is something
wrong with the drill pipe.
Why return to the subject?
I do not know.
Why good practices?
No mud. No flow. Demos leave.
What can be closed as
soon leave this well?
I will not do anything
until Mr. Jimmy is informed.
Is there any man
here? Any adult?
They have all the trappings.
The snuff. Boots steel.
But it is only appearance.
The pressure in the
line choke is zero.
They are nervous as cats.
We must do what
it takes to finish.
That will be my report
to my superiors London.
Bob?
Agree.
Again, you can call Mr. Jimmy.
And I no longer entertain to
eat their ice cream. Thank you.
- Talk Mr. Jimmy.
- I did test negative pressure.
He passed the
test. No pressure.
I will start to move the
mud. I want your blessing.
Are you sure, Jason?
The test line breathlessness
went well. Only that I'm sure.
They are pressuring me.
What do you want me to do?
Zero flow, right?
Right. No flow.
We are ready?
Well, apparently it
will be a long night.
Continued monitoring it, Jason. I'll
see you in half an hour. Thank you.
Well, it passed the test.
Hurray.
Prepare to despalzar

- Go for ice cream, Mike.
I have to watch my figure.
I'll fix smoke detectors.
I do not want to hit anyone.
Good idea. Say

Take this.
