1:30:00
Haveyou made a decision?
1:30:03
Yes.
1:30:06
It's my decision,
and I take full responsibility.

1:30:11
Mr. Swenson...
1:30:12
areyouon theline?
1:30:13
Yes, Mr. President.
1:30:15
- GeneralBogan?
- Yes, sir.

1:30:19
This is what will happen ifeven one
ofthe bombers gets through.

1:30:23
It will drop two
20-megaton bombs on Moscow.

1:30:28
-Jay?
- Yes, Mr. President?

1:30:31
You might hear
the sound ofthe engines...

1:30:33
just before the bombs drop,
maybe not.

1:30:35
In any case, you'll hear
the defensive missiles going off.

1:30:38
Right after that,
the bombs will explode.

1:30:42
I'm told that what we will hear
at this end...

1:30:45
will be a high, shrill sound.
1:30:49
That will be
the ambassador's phone...

1:30:51
melting from the heat
ofthe fireball.

1:30:54
When we hear that sound...
1:30:58
the ambassadorwill be dead.
1:31:01
Youunderstand,
Mr. Ambassador...

1:31:03
you're tostay
exactly whereyouare.

1:31:05
Yes, Mr. President.
1:31:07
He's got to attack.
1:31:11
Is this your proposal?
1:31:14
To sacrifice one American
for five million Russians?

1:31:17
No, no, listen to me!
1:31:21
I've ordered a Vindicator bomber
into the air from Washington.

1:31:25
In a few minutes, it will be
flying over New York City.

1:31:28
It is carrying two
20-megaton bombs.

1:31:32
The moment I know
that Moscow has been hit...

1:31:36
I will order that plane
to drop its bombs.

1:31:39
It will use the Empire State Building
for ground zero.

1:31:44
When we hear the shriek
of Mr. Lentov's phone melting...

1:31:50
we will know that he is gone...
1:31:52
and with him, New York.
1:31:57
Holy Mother ofGod.
1:31:59
No.
