:36:00
fire!
:36:11
bounce pulse failed to
connect with target, sir.
:36:14
just what are you
saying, soldier?
:36:16
we missed it, sir.
:36:18
what?
:36:19
we missed the rocket.
it didn't work.
:36:21
didn't work?
where did the pulse go?
:36:24
I don't know, sir, but
it definitely didn't connect
:36:26
with the inbound traffic.
:36:36
wow!
:36:38
excellent!
:36:43
we'd better
call the president.
:36:45
we're not calling anyone.
:36:46
what do you mean,
we're not calling anyone?
:36:48
the president must know
that this attack
:36:49
was not initiated
by the Soviet union.
:36:55
we are prepared
for this contingency.
:36:58
what in hell do you
intend to do?
:37:01
you understand, sir,
that we are responsible
:37:03
for launching a nuclear weapon
against our own country?
:37:06
no one outside
this command center
:37:08
has that information,
gentlemen.
:37:10
when we commissioned
the schmectel corporation
:37:12
to research this precise
event sequence scenario,
:37:16
it was determined that
the continual stockpiling
:37:18
and development
of our nuclear arsenal
:37:19
was becoming
self-defeating.
:37:21
a weapon unused
is a useless weapon.
:37:25
sac-com confirms
:37:26
all defense systems
commitment ready.
:37:28
we have verification.
:37:30
the president is aboard
the airborne command center.
:37:32
I'm sure it will only be
a matter of minutes
:37:36
before the president
commits to total release.
:37:41
jesus christ!
:37:48
you see, we had to show
:37:50
that we had
the technical capability
:37:53
and were determined.
:37:55
history demonstrates
conclusively
:37:59
that naive
wishing for peace
