Or ,"fly directly over the building or I'll have you shot!" But after Legasov tells the pilot that its useless to fly over the building, Boris realizes how srs this is, and turns out to be an amazing man.

Best part of the series. Boris just wanted to make a difference in the end. As you get closer to death, you begin to appreciate the very small things in life. Hence, the Caterpillar

Actually both of them knew they were dying, Valeri knew it long before he even left the cleanup zone. Confirmation came right before the trial. Valeri however took it as a cue that he has nothing to lose, therefore he went off and told he truth openly. Later on however came the reprisals. Valeri probably knew that this will be ommitedon TV, therefore as backup he made tapes. And in the end with his suicide he accomplished what Ulyana asked him to do - to tell the truth, to show all of em that it aint as it is.. and changes have to be done.

To me it feels like a mixture of many emotions; by that point he is finally beginning to die, and comes face to face with mortality and the truth. These things often make one appreciate the little things in life. Most people would barely pay a single thought to a tiny caterpillar but when death comes closer the world becomes a lot more interesting, as you try to soak up every last detail before you fade away. It's very bittersweet. (Here comes my English Lit teachings) It also shows his humanity of course, and IMO reflects the sanctity and power of nature in that it has survived the apocalypse and his efforts preserved life on all levels. The caterpillar is an innocent creature, unknowing of the horrible doom that he just saved it from, and also unknowing of the fact that it was crawling across the very being who managed to save it and all it's kind.

They understood what would happen to them, not just with radiation, but with the USSR, with the party and they still did what needed to be done. "You'll do it because it must be done.

Which is why communism was doomed to fail. And yet Boris, a man in charge backed by Gorbachev himself, openly admits that this scientist mattered more than him.

To do so much and always feel inconsequential, and to finally hear someone tell you the truth and what you wish you could see for yourself. The way he says "Yeah" so silently, and the slight change on his face when he realizes the weight of Valera's statement and the depth of respect he deserves for being so consequential.

That’s what they call ‘range.’ What career performances for 2 actors who have already had brilliant careers.

There are two kinds of people that saw this scene: criers and liars.

These two unlikely people were able to form a mutual respect and affection for one another during this horrible event. This is the true power of radiation.

The sound design in this miniseries was perfect. Some of the best sound production ever done. It inspired pure dread and fear of an invisible enemy.

The best scene in the whole series ... They mistakenly sent the one good man

A lesser production would have made Boris the villain, constantly doubting the hero, creating new hurdles to overcome. Having them sit down and share their appreciation for eachother really shows how much both of them. Have grown. And to end it with a shot of him picking up a caterpillar (something as close to the start of its life as he is to the end of his) really just blows this scene into the stratosphere.

He could snuff it out in thar moment if he chose, but let it bask in the light. A tiny, insignificant creature, not unlike he saw himself before Legasov's words, and yet it is something to be cherished.

This is how men should speak to each other in serious situations, with love and compassion. It's no wonder mental health in the community is such a problem, maybe a serious heart-felt conversation is all that we need.

It's not a caterpiller, it's an inchworm. There's sort of an old village tradition in various places in europe that the inchworm measured your soul when it crossed you. It was a quiet, folksy symbolic way to tell Schrebina that he had "measured up."

Boris turned to the best character in this series after I watch this scene. Boris was a very stubborn obedient fool as Varery says to others, but while he was in the whole tragedy in Chernobyl, he suddenly yelled at the phone and I started to love him. And this scene, omg this is the best scene in Chernobyl to me.

I think the larvae at the end of the scene is a good representation of what Valery was trying to tell Boris. Most people would have swatted at a tiny bug without even thinking twice. But Boris, he had to see this insignificant bug to safety.

I'm glad they mistakenly send the one good man that mattered most. Rest in Peace Boris.You too Valery.

It's true. IRL, this guy probably saved millions of lives by having the stones to do the right thing. Godspeed, you excellent human.

No matter how horrible the disaster was, no matter how catastrophic the event, maybe every tragedy ultimate ends this way. With two dying men, sitting on a park bench, quietly reassuring each other that they mattered... and that they did the right thing

This was the most moving scene in the series. But the entire series was brilliant. All departments working at Grade A levels. Not just the writing, directing, and (of course) the sensational acting, but the makeup, the visual effects, the sound design, the editing, the cinematography...I could go on. It's a masterpiece, one of the best shows ever broadcast. Deserved every award it got.

I think a lot of people are - somehow - able to feel this sense of worthlessness, despite the gravity of Legaslov's situation. When we read about the great things other people have done, our heroes, it always seems as if they knew exactly what to do to become that hero. As if heroes are made, appointed, something we can all do. But its circumstance that dictates who matters most. You could be the most powerful person in the world, and utterly oblivious to a crisis that is inevitably solved by the person closest who can act on it. With very few exceptions, nobody has any idea they're about to do something heroic. It really is a matter of realising the situation, and your own capacity to act. I can forgive anyone for hesitating and not believing in themselves, or not knowing how to respond to a crisis. But people should remember we don't get to decide when we will be needed, or in what ways, and try to recognise those moments when they arrives. They will arrive in everyone's life.

No matter your line of work, your peers and the people you supervise should seek guidance from you, willfully, and if they do, without reservation or fear, then my hat is off for you.

It’s just incredible how something so small like the caterpillar represents so much..

i deeply love and hold dear this escene, a man who tough he was useless, the man who tough he didnt matter, he didnt make anything was the one who saved more lives, the one who encourage most man to do imposible and terrible things, sacrifices, the most important piece to repair the most terrible thing human kind have done, one man who stood there and never saw it, a real hero.

Makes me cry. What an incredible scene. One of the best in tv history 😭

New life on a dead man.... That caterpillar was the perfect way to say that

I remember when I first watched this series, counting on the action to not disappoint and it didn't. Then the scenes like this built it into something even more fantastic.

This single scene is better then all of season 8 of game of thrones , the Writing is amazing the acting is incredibly perfected , the sad face expressions on Boris Scherbina the reflection of his face on Valery legasov's glasses the cinematography the Music the whole situation when two Dead friends have a deep talk not realising that it's the last time they would see each other OMG This Scene is perfect

This one scene was better than all of everything Craig Mazin did before Chernobyl lol. At least GOT season 1-4 and parts of 5-6 were good.

The thing that struck me about the caterpillar is the fact that it as born in the exclusion zone. It was a living thing in the place that killed so many. And it only existed because boris and all the other people like him died so that life would have a chance.

The way their relationship started To their relationship here To Legasov's testimony, and watching as he was driven away knowing they couldn't be friends anymore This whole show was like a kick in the stomach

"are we brothers, Legasov? I would like that very much"

Man, the soundtrack for this is just brutal. It kind of hangs in the background but it's definitely there and adds so much dread to these scenes. Great stuff.

Wow -- this tv series is a masterpiece. It's a work of art that should be viewed by all of humanity.

Spectacular. Beautifully written. Beautifully acted.

This may have been the best scene in the entire series. What fantastic writing. Both these actors were just absolutely incredible with their performances.

Man, the writing in this show is so incredibly good!

General Grant showing he's a badass once again.

That scene gets me every time. So beautifully written, so masterfully acted. Two men at the end of their lives reflecting on the futility of it all.

It’s funny how the first time I heard Boris talk on the telephone I hated his guts, right before I see him but now.......well.

A well-deserved Golden Globe for Stellan Skarsgård.

This show was perfect.

Accept it.. no one thought they would feel so sad for Boris when his character was first introduced in the series.

3:35 Mothra origin story confirmed.

This was really a perfect mini-series. Great acting and storytelling. And it came at a great time right as the end of Game of Thrones was stinking up the airwaves. Three cheeres to Harris and Skarsgard for lessening that blow.

The duo between these two has to be one of the best that's ever been on television

F- me, I remember tearing up massively watching this when this series first came out. Just this 4 minutes, out of the blue after 3 years, had me instantly in tears again. Great actors, great writing, great direction.

Damn this was so good! Both sacred their lives for the truth and for all the innocent people. This people and liquidators were real martyrs.
