I am gambling
thatyou are sincere.

1:09:07
My generals are not so happy
with me about this...

1:09:09
as I'm sureyour generals
are not so happywith you.

1:09:13
But there is time
for common sense.

1:09:18
I must have proof,
Mr. President.

1:09:20
Neither ofus wants war...
1:09:22
but we must be convinced
that this is...

1:09:26
truly a mistake--
1:09:27
thatyour intentions are not hostile
and that there is a chance for peace.

1:09:30
Mr. Chairman,
let me askyou something.

1:09:34
Just before our planes took off
from their fail-safe point...

1:09:37
there was a white flash
on our plotting board.

1:09:41
We think this is connected
to some mechanical failure...

1:09:44
that might have activated
their ''go'' signal.

1:09:46
Could this have been caused
byyour radio interference?

1:09:51
They're arguing
with him again, sir--

1:09:53
telling him not to answer--
the information is too secret.

1:09:57
Was ityourjamming that kept us
from getting through to our planes?

1:10:03
I do not know
about thisjamming.

1:10:05
I think he does.
1:10:08
We cannot be responsible
foryour mechanical failures.

1:10:11
Is it possible?
Could it have happened?

1:10:17
You asked for proof, Mr. Chairman.
This could be it.

1:10:22
They're arguing back and forth.
1:10:25
'' Don't trustyou.''
1:10:27
'' Have to trustyou.''
1:10:30
''It's a trick.''
1:10:32
We're paying for our
mutual suspicions, Mr. Chairman.

1:10:34
I realize that,
but the wall must be broken.

1:10:37
We have to break it down now.
We can't afford not to trust each other.

1:10:44
Wejammed your radios...
1:10:47
with a special device
even I did not know about.

1:10:51
I suppose I must be
very proud ofour scientists.

1:10:55
It was more effective
than anyone dreamed.

1:10:58
But why?
Why this time?
