- Sparks?
- Sír?
1:01:03
- Pipe this through the ship.
- Aye aye, sír.
1:01:06
Ready, sír.
1:01:09
Now hear this.
1:01:11
Men, this is a time for decision.
1:01:15
You heard the tragíc news over the cable:
contact wíth Washíngton ís now ímpossíble.
1:01:21
Thís means we can't get
presídentíal approval of my plan.
1:01:25
Therefore, the final decísíon
must be made now.
1:01:28
There are only two choíces.
1:01:30
So, wíth hígher dírectíves unavaílable,
and by the authoríty vested ín me,
1:01:35
l have made that final decísíon.
1:01:38
We are headed for the Maríanas
to fire the míssíle.
1:01:42
Now ít's a race agaínst tíme, a countdown of
only 14 days ín whích to cross half the world.
1:01:49
lf we are to wín that race - and we must-
sacrifíces wíll become daíly oblígatíons.
1:01:54
The new work schedule
wíll be posted ímmedíately,
1:01:57
and l tell you now, ít's a rough one.
1:02:01
Just one thíng more.
1:02:04
Our world faces its darkest hour.
1:02:07
But l am convinced that, with God's help,
my plan will succeed,
1:02:13
and the world will survive.
1:02:15
That is all.
1:02:32
- Doctor?
- Captain.
1:02:34
- Just checking on Alvarez.
- He went forward with the doctor. Seems OK.
1:02:39
l wish l could say the same
of some of the others.
1:02:44
- George Young.
- Mm-hm.
1:02:46
l've given him a sedative. Nervous hysteria.
1:02:50
After all, Doctor, he just became a new father.
And it's only his second trip.
1:02:55
lt's not a question of experience. Here's a
veteran - your engineer, Lieutenant Hodges.
