Dr. Long.
:04:06
What the hell's all this about
a detonation today?
:04:08
We're scheduled to be
off the island tonight.
:04:10
I changed the schedule.
:04:12
I don't work for you,
Captain Brynner.
:04:14
Sweeney tells me you don't have
computer confirmation.
:04:19
You know, Captain, if you hadn't
spent so much of your career
questioning your superiors,
:04:24
you might've found yourself
with more gold leaf on your collar.
:04:26
This isn't some kind
of pissing contest, Long.
:04:28
You may be in charge here, but those men
out there are my responsibility.
:04:32
Look, this is
a scientific experiment, okay?
:04:36
If it works, your stock at the Pentagon
will go up along with mine.
:04:39
I don't think I need to mention
you could use the help.
:04:41
The N.S.A. thinks
the U.N. is onto your work.
:04:44
The White House is screaming
about chemical weapons,
:04:47
and we're sittin' here
with our hands in the cookie jar.
:04:49
Let me tell you something else.
I didn't join the service
to let people like you...
:04:53
turn the United States into the kind
of country we're supposed to be--
:04:55
But you have no choice
but to follow orders.
:04:58
Now listen to me.
:05:01
I know you have moral objections
to what we're doing here,
:05:04
but, believe me, if I thought there was
any real danger, I wouldn't go forward.
:05:07
You have my word on that.
:05:11
All right. One more shot, provided
we're off the island tonight.
:05:20
Let's proceed.
:05:24
Ladies and gentlemen,
Elvis is approaching the stage.
:05:28
:05:32
Safe distance-- 200 yards.
:05:35
And make sure
Hemmings hears you say it.
:05:37
:05:50
Two hundred yards, Hemmings.
D minus five.
:05:55
All right,
we're movin' out, men.
