:54:00
Good morning, sir.
:54:01
- Where's the Lightman kid?
- In the infirmary, sir.
:54:13
Hello, David. John McKittrick.
I run the computer facility here.
:54:17
Sergeant, these aren't necessary,
the handcuffs?
:54:20
No, sir.
:54:22
Well, David, we called your parents.
:54:26
We told them everything's fine.
:54:28
No charges have been filed... yet.
:54:31
But I think we are gonna need
a little time to sort things out here.
:54:36
How much time?
:54:37
Well, that depends on
how willing you are to cooperate.
:54:41
Oh, of course.
:54:44
Sergeant, would you tell the OD
I'm gonna take David for a little walk?
:54:48
Let's go down to my office.
We'll be more comfortable there.
:54:52
Go ahead.
:54:58
You used to work with Stephen Falken?
:55:00
I started as his assistant.
How d'you know?
:55:03
I read an article you wrote with him
on poker and nuclear war.
:55:06
Bluffing. Yeah,
that shook a few people up.
:55:09
- He must have been pretty amazing.
- He's a brilliant man. A little flaky.
:55:13
He never understood the practical uses
of his... of his work.
:55:17
This machine over here
runs his game program.
:55:20
Joshua.
:55:23
Come here a minute, David.
:55:27
See that sign up here? Up here?
:55:29
- Yeah.
- DEFCON.
:55:31
That indicates
our current defence condition.
:55:34
It should read DEFCON 5,
which means peace.
:55:37
It's still on 4 because of
that little stunt you pulled.
:55:41
Actually, if we hadn't caught it in time,
it might have gone to DEFCON 1 .
:55:45
- You know what that means, David?
- No. What does that mean?
:55:48
World War Ill.
:55:51
Wow.
:55:52
You broke into our system
just to play a game, right?
:55:55
That's right. That's exactly right.
