1:25:01
just what are you
saying, soldier?
1:25:03
we missed it, sir.
1:25:04
what?
1:25:05
we missed the rocket.
it didn't work.
1:25:08
didn't work?
where did the pulse go?
1:25:11
I don't know, sir, but
it definitely didn't connect
1:25:13
with the inbound traffic.
1:25:23
wow!
1:25:24
excellent!
1:25:30
we'd better
call the president.
1:25:31
we're not calling anyone.
1:25:32
what do you mean,
we're not calling anyone?
1:25:35
the president must know
that this attack
1:25:36
was not initiated
by the Soviet union.
1:25:42
we are prepared
for this contingency.
1:25:45
what in hell do you
intend to do?
1:25:48
you understand, sir,
that we are responsible
1:25:50
for launching a nuclear weapon
against our own country?
1:25:52
no one outside
this command center
1:25:54
has that information,
gentlemen.
1:25:56
when we commissioned
the schmectel corporation
1:25:59
to research this precise
event sequence scenario,
1:26:02
it was determined that
the continual stockpiling
1:26:04
and development
of our nuclear arsenal
1:26:06
was becoming
self-defeating.
1:26:08
a weapon unused
is a useless weapon.
1:26:12
sac-com confirms
1:26:13
all defense systems
commitment ready.
1:26:15
we have verification.
1:26:16
the president is aboard
the airborne command center.
1:26:19
I'm sure it will only be
a matter of minutes
1:26:22
before the president
commits to total release.
1:26:27
jesus christ!
1:26:34
you see, we had to show
1:26:37
that we had
the technical capability
1:26:40
and were determined.
1:26:42
history demonstrates
conclusively
1:26:45
that naive
wishing for peace
1:26:48
is the surest
possible way
1:26:50
to encourage
an aggressor.
1:26:53
I demand you place me
1:26:54
in immediate communication
with the president!
1:26:55
relax, mr. ruby.
1:26:57
this facility is more than
adequately stocked
1:26:59
for a comfortable 17 months
of below-ground existence.
