:07:01
and processed in the next six hours
or we go back to square zero.
:07:04
So you just
happened to hear
:07:06
about this world class
scholar and athlete
:07:08
who just happened to be
at death's door?
:07:10
Well, we do have our contacts
at all the major
:07:12
medical centers across the country.
:07:15
It would take a long time
:07:17
for something this perfect
to just turn up.
:07:20
Well, I guess we got lucky.
:07:22
You got damn lucky,
if you ask me.
:07:25
What exactly are you saying, Dad?
:07:28
I'm sure you'll forgive me for
jumping to unpleasant conclusions.
:07:32
See, I let you run
with this project...
:07:35
this minefield
of a project...
:07:38
because I thought
it'd do you good
:07:40
to be stuck
with some consequences.
:07:43
But I think you know
that this time
:07:45
when you bring the house
down around your head...
:07:48
there'll be no building
of libraries or prep schools
:07:50
so they won't kick you out.
:07:52
Well, there won't be a "this time".
:08:14
"War Without Widows"
is an idea whose time has come.
:08:19
Today, thanks
to the joint efforts
:08:21
of the Department of Defense
and Oslett Technologies...
:08:24
we begin an awesome adventure.
:08:26
The age of sending our fragile
irreplaceable sons to war is over.
:08:30
From a thread of DNA taken
from a single human blood cell
:08:34
and implanted in the nucleus
of an unfertilized egg...
:08:37
we will forge
a new warrior.
:08:40
A warrior who leaves
no widows or orphans
:08:42
and feels no grief or fear.
:08:46
And with enough fuel
his wounds will heal themselves
:08:49
almost instantly and he'll be able
to march for days with no sleep.
:08:53
And if I'm to believe
what the scientists
:08:56
are telling me about a gene that
carries extra sensory powers...
:08:59
he may even someday be capable
of getting his orders telepathically.
