1
00:00:42,417 --> 00:00:46,171
For more than a year, ominous rumors
Had been privately circulating...

2
00:00:46,212 --> 00:00:48,673
among high-level Western leaders...

3
00:00:48,715 --> 00:00:52,594
that the Soviet Union had been at work
on what was darkly hinted to be...

4
00:00:52,677 --> 00:00:56,389
the ultimate weapon:
a doomsday device.

5
00:00:56,431 --> 00:01:00,352
Intelligence sources traced the site
of the top-secret Russian project...

6
00:01:00,393 --> 00:01:03,146
to the perpetually
fog-shrouded wasteland...

7
00:01:03,146 --> 00:01:06,566
below the Arctic peaks
of the Zhokhov Islands.

8
00:01:06,649 --> 00:01:11,988
What they were building or why it was
Located in a remote, desolate place...

9
00:01:12,072 --> 00:01:14,324
no one could say.

10
00:03:44,599 --> 00:03:46,059
General Ripper, sir.

11
00:03:46,142 --> 00:03:48,061
Group Captain Mandrake speaking.

12
00:03:48,144 --> 00:03:50,188
This is General Ripper speaking.

13
00:03:50,188 --> 00:03:52,399
- Yes, sir.
- Do you recognize my voice?

14
00:03:52,482 --> 00:03:54,901
I do, sir. Why do you ask?

15
00:03:54,943 --> 00:03:56,736
Why do you think?

16
00:03:56,778 --> 00:04:00,365
I don't know, sir. We spoke
just a few moments ago, didn't we?

17
00:04:00,448 --> 00:04:05,704
You don't think I'd ask unless it was
pretty damned important, do you?

18
00:04:05,745 --> 00:04:07,205
No, I don't.

19
00:04:07,247 --> 00:04:09,457
Let's see if we can stay on the ball.

20
00:04:10,417 --> 00:04:13,003
Has the Wing confirmed holding
at their fail-safe points?

21
00:04:13,086 --> 00:04:15,922
Yes, sir. The confirmations
have just come in.

22
00:04:15,964 --> 00:04:19,592
Very well.
Now, listen to me carefully.

23
00:04:19,676 --> 00:04:22,470
The base is being put on condition red.

24
00:04:22,554 --> 00:04:24,764
I want this flashed
to all sections immediately.

25
00:04:24,848 --> 00:04:28,184
Condition red. Jolly good.
Keeps the men on their toes.

26
00:04:28,268 --> 00:04:30,520
This is not an exercise.

27
00:04:31,563 --> 00:04:33,440
Not an exercise?

28
00:04:35,150 --> 00:04:39,779
I shouldn't tell you this, but you're
a good officer and have a right to know.

29
00:04:39,863 --> 00:04:41,781
It looks like we're in a shooting war.

30
00:04:42,782 --> 00:04:47,746
- Oh, hell. Are the Russians involved?
- That's all I've been told.

31
00:04:47,829 --> 00:04:52,625
It came in on the red phone. I'm gonna
follow orders and seal this base tight.

32
00:04:53,710 --> 00:04:57,255
Now, I want you to transmit Plan R...

33
00:04:57,297 --> 00:04:59,257
R for Robert, to the Wing.

34
00:04:59,299 --> 00:05:02,719
- Plan R for Robert.
- Is it that bad, sir?

35
00:05:02,802 --> 00:05:05,263
- Looks like it's pretty hairy.
- Yes, sir.

36
00:05:05,347 --> 00:05:07,390
Plan R for Robert.

37
00:05:07,474 --> 00:05:10,810
Last and possibly most important...

38
00:05:10,852 --> 00:05:15,106
I want all privately owned radios
to be immediately impounded.

39
00:05:15,148 --> 00:05:19,110
They might be used to issue
instructions to saboteurs.

40
00:05:19,152 --> 00:05:22,030
As I previously arranged, Air Police
will have lists of all owners.

41
00:05:22,113 --> 00:05:26,117
I want every one collected
without exception.

42
00:05:26,159 --> 00:05:28,495
After you've done that,
report back to me.

43
00:05:55,605 --> 00:05:58,274
In order to guard against
surprise nuclear attack...

44
00:05:58,358 --> 00:06:01,778
America's Strategic Air Command
maintains...

45
00:06:01,861 --> 00:06:05,990
a large force ofB-52bombers
airborne24hoursa day.

46
00:06:06,032 --> 00:06:10,954
Each B-52 can deliver
anuclearbombloadof50megatons...

47
00:06:11,037 --> 00:06:16,042
equal to 16 times the total
explosive force of all the bombs...

48
00:06:16,126 --> 00:06:20,672
and shells used by all the armies
in World War II.

49
00:06:20,755 --> 00:06:23,883
Based in America,
the Airborne Alert Force...

50
00:06:23,967 --> 00:06:26,761
is deployed from the Persian Gulf
to the Arctic Ocean.

51
00:06:26,845 --> 00:06:29,639
But they have one geographical factor
in common.

52
00:06:29,723 --> 00:06:33,685
They are all two hours
from their targets inside Russia.

53
00:07:53,682 --> 00:07:56,685
Major Kong, I know you'll think
this is crazy...

54
00:07:56,768 --> 00:08:00,438
but I just got a message from base
over the C.R.M. 114.

55
00:08:01,481 --> 00:08:05,443
It decodes as Wing attack Plan R.
R for Romeo.

56
00:08:08,571 --> 00:08:12,826
Goldie, did you say
Wing attack Plan R?

57
00:08:12,909 --> 00:08:14,452
Yes, sir, I have.

58
00:08:18,248 --> 00:08:22,961
Goldie, how many times have
I told you guys that I don't want...

59
00:08:23,003 --> 00:08:24,963
horsin' around on the airplane?

60
00:08:25,005 --> 00:08:27,298
I'm not horsing around.
That's how it decodes.

61
00:08:27,340 --> 00:08:30,010
I've been to one world fair,
a picnic...

62
00:08:30,093 --> 00:08:33,972
and rodeo, and that's the stupidest
thing I heard over earphones.

63
00:08:34,014 --> 00:08:35,932
You sure you got today's code?

64
00:08:37,350 --> 00:08:38,476
Yes, sir.

65
00:08:38,518 --> 00:08:41,104
There's gotta be something wrong.

66
00:08:41,187 --> 00:08:43,523
Wait a second, I'm coming back.

67
00:09:18,016 --> 00:09:21,686
Maybe you'd better get
a confirmation from base.

68
00:09:21,728 --> 00:09:23,188
Yes, sir.

69
00:09:44,292 --> 00:09:46,878
Major Kong, is it possible
this is some kind of loyalty test?

70
00:09:46,961 --> 00:09:50,632
You know, give the go code and then
recall to see who would actually go?

71
00:09:50,715 --> 00:09:54,844
Ain't nobody ever got
the go code yet.

72
00:09:54,928 --> 00:09:57,305
Old Ripper wouldn't be giving us
Plan R...

73
00:09:57,389 --> 00:10:00,016
unless them Ruskies had already
clobbered Washington...

74
00:10:00,100 --> 00:10:02,394
and a lot of other towns
with a sneak attack.

75
00:10:02,435 --> 00:10:03,728
Yes, sir.

76
00:10:03,770 --> 00:10:06,272
Major Kong,
message from base confirmed.

77
00:10:11,111 --> 00:10:13,488
Well, boys, I reckon this is it.

78
00:10:14,572 --> 00:10:17,826
Nuclear combat toe-to-toe
with the Ruskies.

79
00:10:32,882 --> 00:10:37,762
Boys, I ain't much of a hand
at making speeches.

80
00:10:39,180 --> 00:10:42,475
But I got a fair idea
that something doggone important...

81
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,561
is going on back there.

82
00:10:44,644 --> 00:10:48,481
I've got a fair idea of the kind
of personal emotions...

83
00:10:48,565 --> 00:10:52,027
that some of you fellows
maybe thinking.

84
00:10:52,110 --> 00:10:54,821
Heck, I reckon you wouldn't be
human beings...

85
00:10:54,904 --> 00:10:59,492
if you didn't have pretty strong
personal feelings about nuclear combat.

86
00:10:59,576 --> 00:11:02,495
I want you to remember one thing.

87
00:11:02,579 --> 00:11:05,332
The folks back home
are counting on you.

88
00:11:05,415 --> 00:11:07,751
And by golly,
we ain't about to let them down.

89
00:11:09,085 --> 00:11:11,880
Tell you something else.

90
00:11:11,963 --> 00:11:16,968
If this thing turns out to be half
as important as I figure it might be...

91
00:11:17,010 --> 00:11:21,056
I'd say you're all in line
for some important promotions...

92
00:11:21,139 --> 00:11:24,934
and personal citations
when this thing's over with.

93
00:11:25,018 --> 00:11:27,771
That goes for every last one of you...

94
00:11:27,854 --> 00:11:31,691
regardless of your race,
color or your creed.

95
00:11:31,733 --> 00:11:35,320
Now let's get this thing on the hump.
We got some flying to do.

96
00:11:48,917 --> 00:11:51,169
Buck, should I get it?

97
00:11:51,211 --> 00:11:53,171
Yeah, you'll have to.

98
00:11:59,094 --> 00:12:00,887
Hello?

99
00:12:00,929 --> 00:12:05,517
Yes, General Turgidson is here,
but he can't come to the phone now.

100
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,894
This is his secretary, Miss Scott.

101
00:12:09,020 --> 00:12:11,189
Freddie, how are you?

102
00:12:11,272 --> 00:12:13,566
Fine. And you?

103
00:12:13,608 --> 00:12:18,279
Oh, we were just catching up
on some of the general's paperwork.

104
00:12:18,363 --> 00:12:22,992
He's tied up.
I'm afraid he can't come to the phone.

105
00:12:24,077 --> 00:12:25,495
Just a minute.

106
00:12:25,578 --> 00:12:28,832
General Turgidson,
a Colonel Puntrich calling.

107
00:12:28,915 --> 00:12:30,834
Tell him to call back.

108
00:12:30,917 --> 00:12:35,588
Freddie, the general says
could you call back in a minute?

109
00:12:35,672 --> 00:12:37,590
He says it can't wait.

110
00:12:37,674 --> 00:12:41,011
For Pete's--
Find out what he wants.

111
00:12:41,094 --> 00:12:44,973
The general is in the powder room
right now.

112
00:12:45,056 --> 00:12:47,308
Could you tell me what it's about?

113
00:12:48,768 --> 00:12:52,856
Just a second. Apparently they monitored
a transmission eight minutes ago...

114
00:12:52,939 --> 00:12:55,400
from Burpelson Air Force Base.

115
00:12:57,277 --> 00:13:02,323
Right. It was directed to
the 843rd Bomb Wing on airborne alert.

116
00:13:04,117 --> 00:13:07,579
It decoded as Wing attack Plan R.

117
00:13:07,620 --> 00:13:13,293
Well, tell him to call what's-his-name,
Base Commander Ripper.

118
00:13:13,376 --> 00:13:15,045
Do I have to think of everything?

119
00:13:15,128 --> 00:13:19,716
The general suggests you call General
Ripper, the 843rd base commander.

120
00:13:19,799 --> 00:13:23,178
Oh. All communications are dead!

121
00:13:23,261 --> 00:13:26,639
Bull! Tell him to do it himself.

122
00:13:26,723 --> 00:13:31,644
The general asks if you could
possibly try again yourself.

123
00:13:31,728 --> 00:13:36,399
I see. He says he's tried personally
several times, but everything is dead.

124
00:13:36,483 --> 00:13:39,235
Even the normal phone lines
are shut down.

125
00:13:46,493 --> 00:13:49,329
Fred? Buck.
What's it look like?

126
00:13:50,955 --> 00:13:52,374
Yeah?

127
00:13:53,833 --> 00:13:56,795
Well, are you sure
it's Plan R?

128
00:13:58,046 --> 00:14:00,757
Huh. What's cooking
on the threat board?

129
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,635
Nothing? Nothing at all?

130
00:14:05,804 --> 00:14:07,847
I don't like the look of this.

131
00:14:09,349 --> 00:14:11,976
Tell you what you better do,
old buddy.

132
00:14:12,018 --> 00:14:15,146
You better give Elmo and Charlie a blast
and bump everything up to condition red.

133
00:14:15,271 --> 00:14:17,816
Stand by the blower.
I'll get back to you.

134
00:14:17,899 --> 00:14:20,110
- What's up?
- Nothing.

135
00:14:21,695 --> 00:14:24,989
- Where's my shorts?
- On the floor. Where are you going?

136
00:14:25,031 --> 00:14:26,825
No place.

137
00:14:26,866 --> 00:14:31,621
I thought I might mosey over to the
War Room to see what's doing over there.

138
00:14:31,705 --> 00:14:33,498
It's 3:00 in the morning.

139
00:14:33,540 --> 00:14:35,500
The air force never sleeps.

140
00:14:35,542 --> 00:14:39,504
Buck, honey, I'm not sleepy either.

141
00:14:42,173 --> 00:14:44,968
I know how it is, baby.

142
00:14:45,051 --> 00:14:47,053
Tell you what you do.

143
00:14:48,096 --> 00:14:52,058
You start your countdown
and old Buck will be back...

144
00:14:52,142 --> 00:14:55,687
before you can say " Blastoff!."

145
00:14:56,938 --> 00:15:01,067
Your Commie has no regard
for human life, not even his own.

146
00:15:02,235 --> 00:15:06,072
For this reason, men, I want
to impress upon you the need...

147
00:15:06,156 --> 00:15:08,241
for extreme watchfullness.

148
00:15:08,324 --> 00:15:12,370
The enemy may come individually
or he may come in strength.

149
00:15:12,412 --> 00:15:15,040
He may even come in the uniform
of our own troops.

150
00:15:15,999 --> 00:15:18,585
But however he comes,
We must stop him.

151
00:15:18,668 --> 00:15:21,421
We must not allow him
To gain entrance to this base.

152
00:15:22,964 --> 00:15:26,926
Now, I am going to give you
three simple rules.

153
00:15:26,968 --> 00:15:31,473
First: Trust no one,
Whatever his uniform or rank...

154
00:15:31,556 --> 00:15:34,059
unless he is known to you personally.

155
00:15:34,100 --> 00:15:36,978
Secondly: Anyone or anything...

156
00:15:37,062 --> 00:15:41,941
that approaches within 200 yards
of the perimeter is to be fired upon.

157
00:15:42,025 --> 00:15:47,655
Third: If in doubt, shoot first
and ask questions afterwards.

158
00:15:47,739 --> 00:15:51,117
I would sooner accept a few casualties
Through accident...

159
00:15:51,159 --> 00:15:55,288
than lose the entire base
and its personnel through carelessness.

160
00:15:55,372 --> 00:15:59,501
Any variation on these rules
Must come from me personally.

161
00:16:00,585 --> 00:16:03,421
Now, men, in conclusion...

162
00:16:03,463 --> 00:16:07,550
I would like to say
That in the two years...

163
00:16:07,634 --> 00:16:11,429
that it has been my privilege
to be your commanding officer...

164
00:16:11,471 --> 00:16:14,432
I have always expected
The best from you...

165
00:16:14,474 --> 00:16:18,395
and you have never given me
anything less than that.

166
00:16:18,478 --> 00:16:21,815
Today the nation is counting on us.

167
00:16:22,899 --> 00:16:25,735
We are not going to let them down.

168
00:16:25,819 --> 00:16:27,737
Good luck to you all.

169
00:16:57,934 --> 00:17:00,478
Here's the attack profile, sir.

170
00:17:28,214 --> 00:17:30,884
This is your attack profile.

171
00:17:30,967 --> 00:17:34,054
"To ensure that the enemy cannot monitor
voice transmission...

172
00:17:34,137 --> 00:17:36,306
or plant false transmission...

173
00:17:36,389 --> 00:17:41,519
the C.R.M. 114 is to be switched
into all receiver circuits.

174
00:17:41,561 --> 00:17:45,023
The emergency base code prefix
is to be set...

175
00:17:45,106 --> 00:17:47,525
on the dials of the C.R.M.

176
00:17:47,567 --> 00:17:52,155
This will block any transmission other
than those preceded by a code prefix. "

177
00:17:53,740 --> 00:17:55,867
Stand by to set code prefix.

178
00:17:55,950 --> 00:17:58,411
Roger. Ready to set code prefix.

179
00:17:58,495 --> 00:18:00,372
"Set code prefix."

180
00:18:09,923 --> 00:18:11,341
Code prefix set.

181
00:18:11,424 --> 00:18:13,051
" Lock code prefix."

182
00:18:15,762 --> 00:18:17,180
Code prefix locked.

183
00:18:17,263 --> 00:18:20,725
"Switch all receiver circuits
to C.R.M. discriminators."

184
00:18:21,935 --> 00:18:25,188
Switched to C.R.M. discriminators.

185
00:18:25,271 --> 00:18:27,107
"Check auto destruct circuits. "

186
00:18:30,443 --> 00:18:32,362
Auto destruct circuits checked.

187
00:18:37,784 --> 00:18:42,163
" Primary target:
the I.C.B.M. complex at Laputa.

188
00:18:42,247 --> 00:18:46,459
Target reference:
Yankee, golf, tango...

189
00:18:46,543 --> 00:18:48,586
3-6-0.

190
00:18:48,670 --> 00:18:50,630
Thirty megaton nuclear device...

191
00:18:50,672 --> 00:18:54,759
fused for airburst at 10,000 feet.

192
00:18:54,843 --> 00:18:59,347
Twenty megaton nuclear device
will be used if first malfunctions.

193
00:18:59,431 --> 00:19:02,100
Otherwise, proceed to secondary target:

194
00:19:02,142 --> 00:19:06,187
missile complex seven miles east
of Borchov.

195
00:19:06,271 --> 00:19:10,233

196
00:19:10,316 --> 00:19:12,777
1 -0-8.

00:19:12,819 --> 00:19:18,158
Fused air burst at 1 0--"
Check-- " 1 2,000 feet."

198
00:19:29,461 --> 00:19:33,340
Excuse me, sir. Something rather
interesting has just cropped up.

199
00:19:33,423 --> 00:19:36,259
Listen to that. Music.
Civilian broadcasting.

200
00:19:37,844 --> 00:19:42,140
I think the Pentagon has given us
an exercise to check our readiness.

201
00:19:42,182 --> 00:19:44,184
I think it's taking things too far.

202
00:19:44,267 --> 00:19:47,312
Our fellows will be inside Russian
radar cover in about 20 minutes.

203
00:19:47,354 --> 00:19:50,607
Listen. Chock full of stations
all churning it out.

204
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,152
- Mandrake?
- Yes, sir?

205
00:19:54,194 --> 00:19:57,655
I issued instructions for all radios
to be impounded.

206
00:19:57,697 --> 00:20:02,035
You did, and I was in the process of
impounding this when I switched it on.

207
00:20:02,077 --> 00:20:05,580
I thought our fellows hitting Russian
radar, dropping all their stuff...

208
00:20:05,664 --> 00:20:10,126
I'd better tell you because if they do,
it'll cause a stink.

209
00:20:10,210 --> 00:20:14,255
Group Captain,
the officer exchange program...

210
00:20:14,339 --> 00:20:17,967
does not give you any special
prerogatives to question my orders.

211
00:20:18,051 --> 00:20:22,263
I realize that, sir, but I thought
you'd be pleased to hear the news.

212
00:20:22,347 --> 00:20:25,100
After all, let's face it.

213
00:20:25,183 --> 00:20:29,187
We don't want to start a nuclear war
unless we have to, do we?

214
00:20:30,146 --> 00:20:33,817
Please sit down.
And turn that thing off.

215
00:20:33,900 --> 00:20:35,026
Yes, sir.

216
00:20:35,068 --> 00:20:39,989
What about the planes? Surely we must
issue the recall code immediately.

217
00:20:40,073 --> 00:20:42,909
The planes are not going
to be recalled.

218
00:20:42,993 --> 00:20:45,870
My attack orders have been issued,
and the orders stand.

219
00:20:47,914 --> 00:20:52,043
If you'll excuse me for saying so,
that would be to my way of thinking...

220
00:20:52,127 --> 00:20:54,295
rather an odd way of looking at it

221
00:20:54,379 --> 00:20:56,756
If a Russian attack was in progress...

222
00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:00,760
we would certainly not be hearing
civilian broadcasting.

223
00:21:00,844 --> 00:21:03,722
- Are you certain?
- I'm absolutely positive.

224
00:21:03,763 --> 00:21:06,516
What if it is true?

225
00:21:06,599 --> 00:21:09,602
I'm afraid I'm still not with you, sir,
because I mean...

226
00:21:11,187 --> 00:21:13,565
if a Russian attack
was not in progress...

227
00:21:13,606 --> 00:21:17,986
then your use of Plan R-- In fact,
your orders to the entire Wing--

228
00:21:25,452 --> 00:21:30,749
I would say, sir, that there was
something dreadfully wrong somewhere

229
00:21:31,791 --> 00:21:34,169
Why don't you take it easy,
Group Captain?

230
00:21:34,252 --> 00:21:36,921
Please make me a drink
of grain alcohol and rainwater...

231
00:21:36,963 --> 00:21:39,424
and help yourself
to whatever you'd like.

232
00:21:48,475 --> 00:21:52,562
General Ripper, sir, as an officer
in Her Majesty's Air Force...

233
00:21:52,645 --> 00:21:55,899
it is my clear duty
under the present circumstances...

234
00:21:55,982 --> 00:22:00,653
to issue the recall code upon my
own authority and bring back the Wing.

235
00:22:00,737 --> 00:22:02,739
If you'll excuse me, sir.

236
00:22:11,331 --> 00:22:16,252
Sir, I must ask you for the key and the
recall code. Have you got them handy?

237
00:22:16,336 --> 00:22:18,797
I told you to take it easy,
Group Captain.

238
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,466
There's nothing anybody can do now.

239
00:22:21,508 --> 00:22:23,968
I'm the only person who knows
the three-letter code group.

240
00:22:24,010 --> 00:22:26,596
I must insist
that you give them to me!

241
00:22:35,647 --> 00:22:39,651
Do I take it, sir, you are threatening
a brother officer with a gun?

242
00:22:40,944 --> 00:22:46,074
Mandrake, I suppose
it never occurred to you...

243
00:22:46,157 --> 00:22:49,744
that while we're chatting here
so enjoyably...

244
00:22:49,828 --> 00:22:53,707
a decision is being made
by the president...

245
00:22:53,748 --> 00:22:56,918
and the joint chiefs in the War Room
at the Pentagon.

246
00:22:58,003 --> 00:23:03,591
When they realize there is
no possibility of recalling the Wing...

247
00:23:03,675 --> 00:23:07,971
there will be only one course
of action open.

248
00:23:08,054 --> 00:23:09,931
Total commitment.

249
00:23:12,225 --> 00:23:16,646
Mandrake, do you recall what
Clemenceau once said about war?

250
00:23:17,981 --> 00:23:20,650
No, I don't think I do, sir. No.

251
00:23:22,318 --> 00:23:25,363
He said war was too important
to be left to the generals.

252
00:23:26,406 --> 00:23:31,036
When he said that 50 years ago...

253
00:23:31,077 --> 00:23:33,079
he might have been right.

254
00:23:33,121 --> 00:23:35,498
But today...

255
00:23:35,582 --> 00:23:39,044
war is too important
to be left to politicians.

256
00:23:39,085 --> 00:23:43,548
They have neither the time,
the training...

257
00:23:43,631 --> 00:23:46,718
nor the inclination
for strategic thought.

258
00:23:50,347 --> 00:23:53,850
I can no longer sit back
and allow...

259
00:23:53,933 --> 00:23:59,064
Communist infiltration,
Communist indoctrination...

260
00:23:59,105 --> 00:24:00,774
Communist subversion...

261
00:24:02,275 --> 00:24:06,112
and the international
Communist conspiracy...

262
00:24:06,196 --> 00:24:09,074
to sap and impurify...

263
00:24:09,115 --> 00:24:12,452
all of our precious
bodily fluids.

264
00:24:18,625 --> 00:24:20,126
Staines, is everybody here?

265
00:24:20,210 --> 00:24:22,712
Mr. President, the secretary of state
is in Vietnam.

266
00:24:22,796 --> 00:24:26,758
The secretary of defense is in Laos, and
the vice president is in Mexico City.

267
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:31,763
We can establish contact with them at
anytime. The undersecretaries are here.

268
00:24:31,846 --> 00:24:34,933
Right. General Turgidson,
what's going on?

269
00:24:36,476 --> 00:24:39,062
Mr. President...

270
00:24:39,145 --> 00:24:42,774
about 35 minutes ago...

271
00:24:42,857 --> 00:24:46,861
General Jack Ripper,
the commanding general...

272
00:24:46,945 --> 00:24:49,364
of Burpelson Air Force Base...

273
00:24:49,447 --> 00:24:52,701
issued an order to the 34 B-52s
of his Wing...

274
00:24:52,784 --> 00:24:54,911
which were airborne at the time...

275
00:24:54,995 --> 00:24:59,124
as part of a special exercise we were
holding called Operation Dropkick.

276
00:24:59,165 --> 00:25:03,878
It appears that the order
called for the planes...

277
00:25:03,962 --> 00:25:07,340
to attack their targets
inside Russia.

278
00:25:07,382 --> 00:25:11,636
The planes are fully armed
with nuclear weapons...

279
00:25:11,678 --> 00:25:15,223
with an average load
of40 megatons each.

280
00:25:15,306 --> 00:25:19,769
The central display of Russia will
indicate the position of the planes.

281
00:25:21,229 --> 00:25:24,482
The triangles
are their primary targets.

282
00:25:24,524 --> 00:25:27,485
The squares
are their secondary targets.

283
00:25:28,528 --> 00:25:33,867
The aircraft will begin penetrating
Russian radar cover within 25 minutes.

284
00:25:36,036 --> 00:25:39,372
General Turgidson, I find this
very difficult to understand.

285
00:25:39,414 --> 00:25:44,711
I understood I was the only one
to order the use of nuclear weapons.

286
00:25:45,837 --> 00:25:49,924
That's right, sir. You are
the only person authorized to do so.

287
00:25:50,008 --> 00:25:54,304
And although I hate to judge
before all the facts are in...

288
00:25:54,387 --> 00:25:58,016
it's beginning to look like
General Ripper exceeded his authority.

289
00:25:58,058 --> 00:26:02,937
It certainly does, far beyond the point
I would have imagined possible.

290
00:26:03,021 --> 00:26:06,649
Perhaps you're forgetting
the provisions of Plan R, sir.

291
00:26:06,733 --> 00:26:08,568
Plan R?

292
00:26:09,944 --> 00:26:13,531
Plan R is an emergency war plan...

293
00:26:13,573 --> 00:26:16,117
in which a lower echelon commander
may order...

294
00:26:16,201 --> 00:26:19,329
nuclear retaliation
after a sneak attack...

295
00:26:19,412 --> 00:26:22,874
if the normal chain of command
has been disrupted.

296
00:26:22,957 --> 00:26:25,877
You approved it, sir.
You must remember.

297
00:26:27,420 --> 00:26:31,257
Surely you must recall, sir,
when Senator Beaufort made...

298
00:26:31,299 --> 00:26:34,260
that big hassle about our deterrent
lacking credibility.

299
00:26:34,344 --> 00:26:39,099
The idea was for Plan R to be
a sort of retaliatory safeguard.

300
00:26:39,140 --> 00:26:41,142
A safeguard?

301
00:26:41,226 --> 00:26:44,479
I admit the human element seems
to have failed us here.

302
00:26:44,562 --> 00:26:47,941
But the idea was to discourage
the Ruskies from any hope...

303
00:26:48,024 --> 00:26:52,612
they could knock out Washington, and
yourself, as part of a sneak attack...

304
00:26:52,696 --> 00:26:56,908
and escape retaliation because of lack
of proper command and control.

305
00:26:56,950 --> 00:26:59,661
I assume the planes will return
automatically...

306
00:26:59,744 --> 00:27:01,746
once they reach their fail-safe points.

307
00:27:02,872 --> 00:27:07,419
I'm afraid not. The planes were holding
at their fail-safe points...

308
00:27:07,460 --> 00:27:09,504
when the go code was issued.

309
00:27:09,587 --> 00:27:14,092
Once they fly beyond fail-safe, they do
not require a second order to proceed.

310
00:27:14,134 --> 00:27:16,094
They will continue
until they reach their target.

311
00:27:16,136 --> 00:27:19,222
Then why haven't you radioed the planes,
countermanding the go code?

312
00:27:20,890 --> 00:27:23,935
We're unable to communicate
with any of the aircraft.

313
00:27:23,977 --> 00:27:26,187
Why?

314
00:27:26,271 --> 00:27:28,648
As you may recall, sir...

315
00:27:28,732 --> 00:27:32,360
one of the provisions
of Plan R provides...

316
00:27:32,444 --> 00:27:37,032
that once the go code
is received...

317
00:27:37,115 --> 00:27:40,452
the normal S.S.B. radios
in the aircraft...

318
00:27:40,493 --> 00:27:42,996
are switched into
a special coded device...

319
00:27:43,038 --> 00:27:46,124
which I believe is designated
as C.R.M. 114.

320
00:27:46,166 --> 00:27:50,628
In order to prevent the enemy
from issuing fake or confusing orders...

321
00:27:50,670 --> 00:27:54,632
C.R.M. 114 is designed
not to receive at all...

322
00:27:54,674 --> 00:28:00,221
unless the message is proceeded by the
correct three-letter code group prefix.

323
00:28:00,305 --> 00:28:05,685
You mean to tell me you will be unable
to recall the aircraft?

324
00:28:05,727 --> 00:28:08,688
That's the size of it.
However, we are plowing through...

325
00:28:08,730 --> 00:28:11,649
every possible three-letter combination
of the code.

326
00:28:11,691 --> 00:28:16,905
But since there are
1 7,000 permutations...

327
00:28:16,988 --> 00:28:20,575
it's going to take us about two
and a half days to transmit them all.

328
00:28:20,659 --> 00:28:23,411
How soon will the planes penetrate
Russian radar cover?

329
00:28:23,495 --> 00:28:26,998
-About 1 8 minutes from now.
-Are you in contact with General Ripper?

330
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:31,961
No, sir. General Ripper sealed off
the base and cut off communications.

331
00:28:32,045 --> 00:28:33,672
Where did you get this information?

332
00:28:33,713 --> 00:28:37,342
General Ripper called
Strategic Air Command Headquarters...

333
00:28:37,384 --> 00:28:39,928
shortly after he issued the go code.

334
00:28:40,011 --> 00:28:43,640
I have a portion of the conversation
transcript if you'd like me to read it.

335
00:28:43,723 --> 00:28:45,475
Read it.

336
00:28:47,268 --> 00:28:50,063
The duty officer asked
General Ripper...

337
00:28:50,105 --> 00:28:53,400
to confirm the fact that he had
issued the go code and he said:

338
00:28:54,401 --> 00:28:58,697
"Yes, gentlemen, they are on their way
in and no one can bring them back.

339
00:28:58,738 --> 00:29:01,574
For the sake of our country
and our way of life...

340
00:29:01,616 --> 00:29:04,327
I suggest you get the rest of SAC
in after them.

341
00:29:04,411 --> 00:29:09,290
Otherwise, we will be totally destroyed
by Red retaliation.

342
00:29:09,374 --> 00:29:14,671
My boys will give you the best kind
of start: 1 ,400 megatons worth.

343
00:29:14,754 --> 00:29:18,299
And you sure as hell
won't stop them now.

344
00:29:18,383 --> 00:29:21,261
So let's get going.
There's no other choice.

345
00:29:21,302 --> 00:29:26,182
God willing, we will prevail
in peace and freedom from fear...

346
00:29:26,266 --> 00:29:29,644
and in true health
through the purity...

347
00:29:29,728 --> 00:29:33,606
and essence of our natural...

348
00:29:33,648 --> 00:29:35,108
fluids.

349
00:29:36,109 --> 00:29:38,069
God bless you all."

350
00:29:40,030 --> 00:29:42,657
Then he hung up.

351
00:29:42,741 --> 00:29:46,328
We're still trying to figure out
the meaning of that last phrase, sir.

352
00:29:46,411 --> 00:29:50,749
There's nothing to figure out.
This man is obviously a psychotic.

353
00:29:50,790 --> 00:29:55,920
I'd like to hold off judgment
until all the facts are in.

354
00:29:55,962 --> 00:30:00,592
General Turgidson, when you instituted
the human reliability tests...

355
00:30:00,633 --> 00:30:04,596
you assured me there was no possibility
of such a thing ever occurring.

356
00:30:06,556 --> 00:30:10,602
Well, I don't think it's fair
to condemn a whole program...

357
00:30:10,685 --> 00:30:13,355
because of a single slip-up, sir.

358
00:30:13,438 --> 00:30:15,940
I want to speak to General Ripper
on the telephone.

359
00:30:16,024 --> 00:30:17,567
That's impossible.

360
00:30:17,650 --> 00:30:21,529
General Turgidson, I am becoming
less and less interested...

361
00:30:21,613 --> 00:30:25,158
in your estimates
of what is possible and impossible.

362
00:30:26,326 --> 00:30:27,786
General Faceman.

363
00:30:27,827 --> 00:30:28,995
Yes, sir?

364
00:30:29,079 --> 00:30:31,456
Are there any army units
stationed near Burpelson?

365
00:30:31,498 --> 00:30:33,583
I'll just check, sir.

366
00:30:38,421 --> 00:30:39,839
Hello?

367
00:30:41,424 --> 00:30:44,678
I told you never to call me here.
Don't you know where I am?

368
00:30:47,055 --> 00:30:49,724
Look, baby, I can't talk to you now.

369
00:30:49,808 --> 00:30:52,352
My president needs me.

370
00:30:52,435 --> 00:30:56,064
Of course Bucky would rather
be there with you.

371
00:30:57,148 --> 00:31:00,318
Of course it isn't only physical.

372
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,862
I deeply respect you
as a human being.

373
00:31:02,904 --> 00:31:05,991
Someday I'm going to make you
Mrs. Buck Turgidson.

374
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,120
Oh, listen, you go back to sleep.

375
00:31:10,203 --> 00:31:13,164
Buck will be there as soon as he can.

376
00:31:13,206 --> 00:31:17,836
All right. Listen, don't forget
to say your prayers.

377
00:31:24,843 --> 00:31:28,763
Apparently,
the 23rd Airborne Division...

378
00:31:28,847 --> 00:31:31,683
is stationed seven miles away
at Alvarado.

379
00:31:31,725 --> 00:31:36,021
General Faceman, I want them to enter
the base, locate General Ripper...

380
00:31:36,062 --> 00:31:38,481
and put him in immediate
telephone contact with me.

381
00:31:38,481 --> 00:31:40,150
Yes, sir.

382
00:31:40,233 --> 00:31:41,860
Mr. President?

383
00:31:41,943 --> 00:31:43,528
If I may advise.

384
00:31:43,611 --> 00:31:47,907
Under a condition red, it is standard
procedure that the base be sealed off...

385
00:31:47,949 --> 00:31:50,744
and the base defended
by base security troops.

386
00:31:50,785 --> 00:31:55,248
Any force trying to enter would
certainly encounter heavy casualties.

387
00:31:55,290 --> 00:31:59,377
General Turgidson, with all due respect
for your defense team...

388
00:31:59,419 --> 00:32:02,172
my boys can brush them aside
without too much trouble.

389
00:32:03,089 --> 00:32:07,886
Mr. President, there are one or two
points I'd like to make, if I may?

390
00:32:08,928 --> 00:32:10,347
Go ahead, General.

391
00:32:11,848 --> 00:32:16,519
One: Our hopes for recalling
the 843rd Bomb Wing...

392
00:32:16,603 --> 00:32:20,899
are quickly being reduced
to a very low order of probability.

393
00:32:20,940 --> 00:32:23,985
Two: In less than 15 minutes
from now...

394
00:32:24,069 --> 00:32:27,072
the Ruskies will be making
radar contact with the planes.

395
00:32:27,113 --> 00:32:29,115
Three: When they do...

396
00:32:29,199 --> 00:32:32,827
they will go absolutely ape and
strike back with everything they've got.

397
00:32:32,911 --> 00:32:36,790
Four: If prior to this time...

398
00:32:36,873 --> 00:32:40,335
we have done nothing to suppress
their retaliatory capabilities...

399
00:32:40,418 --> 00:32:44,089
we will suffer virtual annihilation.

400
00:32:47,133 --> 00:32:51,805
Five: lf, on the other hand...

401
00:32:53,682 --> 00:32:59,020
we immediately launched an attack
on their airfields and missile bases...

402
00:32:59,104 --> 00:33:02,273
we'd stand a damn good chance
of catching them with their pants down.

403
00:33:02,357 --> 00:33:04,734
Hell, we've got
a five-to-one missile superiority.

404
00:33:04,818 --> 00:33:07,570
We could easily assign three missiles
to every target...

405
00:33:07,654 --> 00:33:11,032
and still have a very effective reserve
force for any other contingency.

406
00:33:11,116 --> 00:33:16,496
Six: An unofficial study which
we undertook of this eventuality...

407
00:33:16,538 --> 00:33:21,501
indicated that we would destroy
90% of their nuclear capabilities.

408
00:33:21,543 --> 00:33:23,670
We would therefore prevail...

409
00:33:23,753 --> 00:33:26,965
and suffer only modest and acceptable
civilian casualties...

410
00:33:27,007 --> 00:33:31,469
from their remaining force which would
be badly damaged and uncoordinated.

411
00:33:31,511 --> 00:33:34,973
General, it is the avowed policy
of our country...

412
00:33:35,056 --> 00:33:37,225
never to strike first
with nuclear weapons.

413
00:33:37,308 --> 00:33:41,980
Well, Mr. President, General Ripper
has already invalidated that policy.

414
00:33:42,063 --> 00:33:46,526
That was not an act of national policy.
There are still alternatives open to us.

415
00:33:47,527 --> 00:33:52,365
Mr. President, we are rapidly
approaching a moment of truth...

416
00:33:52,407 --> 00:33:55,577
both for ourselves as human beings
and for the life of our nation.

417
00:33:55,660 --> 00:33:58,288
Truth is not always a pleasant thing.

418
00:33:58,371 --> 00:34:00,915
But it is necessary now
to make a choice:

419
00:34:00,999 --> 00:34:03,752
to choose between two admittedly
regrettable...

420
00:34:03,835 --> 00:34:07,297
but nevertheless distinguishable
postwar environments.

421
00:34:07,380 --> 00:34:12,177
One, where 20 million people are killed;
the other, 1 50 people killed.

422
00:34:12,218 --> 00:34:15,221
You're talking about mass murder,
General, not war.

423
00:34:15,263 --> 00:34:18,850
Mr. President, I'm not saying
we wouldn't get our hair mussed.

424
00:34:18,933 --> 00:34:23,563
But I do say no more than
1 0 to 20 million killed. Tops!

425
00:34:23,646 --> 00:34:25,648
Depending on the breaks.

426
00:34:25,732 --> 00:34:29,694
I will not go down in history as
the greatest mass murderer since Hitler!

427
00:34:29,778 --> 00:34:32,364
It might be better
if you were more concerned...

428
00:34:32,447 --> 00:34:35,784
with the American people than
with your image in the history books.

429
00:34:35,867 --> 00:34:38,870
General Turgidson,
I've heard quite sufficient from you.

430
00:34:38,953 --> 00:34:41,373
Thank you very much.

431
00:34:41,414 --> 00:34:44,000
Mr. President, they have
the ambassador waiting upstairs.

432
00:34:44,084 --> 00:34:47,712
- Good. Any difficulty?
- He's having a fit about the M.P.s.

433
00:34:47,754 --> 00:34:50,256
That can't be helped.
Have him brought here straightaway.

434
00:34:50,298 --> 00:34:51,883
Yes, sir.

435
00:34:51,925 --> 00:34:54,469
Is that the Russian ambassador?

436
00:34:54,552 --> 00:34:56,638
Yes, it is, General.

437
00:34:58,765 --> 00:35:01,726
Am I to understand
the Russian ambassador...

438
00:35:01,768 --> 00:35:04,145
is to be admitted entrance
to the War Room?

439
00:35:04,229 --> 00:35:07,065
That is correct.
He is here on my orders.

440
00:35:09,984 --> 00:35:12,195
I don't know exactly how
to put this, sir...

441
00:35:12,278 --> 00:35:15,699
but are you aware of what a breach
of security that would be?

442
00:35:15,782 --> 00:35:19,911
He'll see everything.
He'll see the big board.

443
00:35:20,870 --> 00:35:23,206
That is precisely the idea, General.

444
00:35:23,289 --> 00:35:25,500
That is precisely the idea.

445
00:35:27,043 --> 00:35:30,964
Staines, get Premier Kissoff
on the hot line.

446
00:35:38,096 --> 00:35:41,975
"Survival kit contents check.

447
00:35:42,058 --> 00:35:46,980
In them you will find
one.45caliberautomatic...

448
00:35:47,063 --> 00:35:49,566
two boxes of ammunition...

449
00:35:49,649 --> 00:35:52,902
four days concentrated
emergency rations...

450
00:35:52,986 --> 00:35:56,323
one drug issue
containing antibiotics...

451
00:35:56,364 --> 00:36:00,702
morphine, vitamin pills,
pep pills...

452
00:36:00,785 --> 00:36:04,581
sleeping pills,
tranquilizer pills...

453
00:36:04,664 --> 00:36:09,502
one miniature combination
Russian phrasebook and Bible...

454
00:36:09,544 --> 00:36:12,589
$100 in rubles...

455
00:36:12,672 --> 00:36:14,799
$100ingold...

456
00:36:14,841 --> 00:36:17,635
nine packs of chewing gum...

457
00:36:17,677 --> 00:36:19,637
one issue of prophylactics...

458
00:36:19,679 --> 00:36:23,725
three lipsticks,
three pair of nylon stockings."

459
00:36:23,808 --> 00:36:28,521
Shoot, a fellow could have a pretty
good weekend in Vegas with that stuff.

460
00:36:34,027 --> 00:36:36,905
- You don't have any fresh fish?
- I'm afraid not, sir.

461
00:36:36,988 --> 00:36:39,157
- Your eggs are fresh?
- Yes, sir.

462
00:36:39,240 --> 00:36:43,203
I will have poached eggs. And bring me
some cigars, please. Havana cigars.

463
00:36:43,286 --> 00:36:46,706
That will be all, sir?
I'll see to it right away.

464
00:36:46,748 --> 00:36:49,959
Try one of these Jamaican cigars,
Ambassador. They're good.

465
00:36:50,043 --> 00:36:53,505
Thank you, no. I do not support the work
of imperialist stooges.

466
00:36:53,546 --> 00:36:56,174
Oh, only Commie stooges, huh?

467
00:36:56,216 --> 00:36:57,801
Mr. President.

468
00:36:59,678 --> 00:37:02,972
You're gonna let that lousy Commie punk
vomit all over us like this?

469
00:37:03,056 --> 00:37:04,140
Mr. President?

470
00:37:04,224 --> 00:37:07,977
They haven't reached Premier Kissoff.
They don't know where he is...

471
00:37:08,061 --> 00:37:10,438
and he won't be back for two hours.

472
00:37:11,523 --> 00:37:14,025
Try B-8-6-5-4-3 Moscow.

473
00:37:14,067 --> 00:37:16,194
You would never have found him
through his office.

474
00:37:16,236 --> 00:37:20,281
Our premier is a man of the people,
but he is also a man, if you follow.

475
00:37:20,365 --> 00:37:23,034
- Degenerate atheistic Commie.
- What did you say?

476
00:37:23,118 --> 00:37:26,705
I said Premier Kissoff is
a degenerate atheistic Commie!

477
00:37:26,746 --> 00:37:29,708
- Have this ignorant fool--
- I'm sorry!

478
00:37:29,749 --> 00:37:33,712
Mr. President,
I think they're trying the number.

479
00:37:44,347 --> 00:37:47,475
Gentlemen, you can't fight in here.
This is the War Room!

480
00:37:47,559 --> 00:37:50,395
What is going on here?
I demand an explanation.

481
00:37:50,437 --> 00:37:54,733
This clumsy fool tried to plant
that ridiculous camera on me.

482
00:37:54,774 --> 00:37:57,402
You bet your sweets, Mr. Commie!
Look at this, Mr. President.

483
00:37:57,444 --> 00:38:01,072
This lousy Commie rat was taking
pictures with this of the big board!

484
00:38:02,115 --> 00:38:03,992
Mr. Ambassador!

485
00:38:04,075 --> 00:38:08,330
This clumsy fool attempted to plant
that ridiculous camera on me.

486
00:38:08,413 --> 00:38:11,291
That's a damn lie!
I saw him with my own eyes.

487
00:38:11,333 --> 00:38:15,545
This is outrageous. I have never heard
of such behavior in the War Room before.

488
00:38:15,628 --> 00:38:18,089
Mr. President, I think
they're getting him on the line.

489
00:38:46,117 --> 00:38:48,036
You got to hand it to those Commies.

490
00:38:48,119 --> 00:38:52,624
Yeah. Those trucks sure look like
the real thing, don't they?

491
00:38:52,707 --> 00:38:54,668
I wonder where they got them from.

492
00:38:54,709 --> 00:38:57,003
Probably bought them
from the army as war surplus.

493
00:39:00,674 --> 00:39:04,761
Okay, open up at 200 yards.

494
00:40:01,985 --> 00:40:05,655
Tell him where you are and that
you'll speak if I say anything untrue...

495
00:40:05,739 --> 00:40:08,033
but nothing more than that.

496
00:40:09,617 --> 00:40:13,038
Alexi? Alexi, please.
I beg you.

497
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,708
But I don't have a phone.

498
00:40:16,750 --> 00:40:19,336
Give him the phone.

499
00:40:46,112 --> 00:40:50,492
I've done as you asked.
Be careful. I think he is drunk.

500
00:40:53,495 --> 00:40:57,957
Hello? Hello, Dimitri?

501
00:40:58,041 --> 00:41:00,460
Listen, I can't hear too well.

502
00:41:00,502 --> 00:41:03,797
Could you turn the music down
a little?

503
00:41:03,838 --> 00:41:05,799
That's much better.

504
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:08,468
Yeah. Yeah.

505
00:41:09,761 --> 00:41:12,555
Fine. I can hear you now, Dimitri.

506
00:41:12,639 --> 00:41:16,101
Clear and plain
and coming through fine.

507
00:41:16,184 --> 00:41:20,605
I'm coming through fine, too, eh?
Good.

508
00:41:20,647 --> 00:41:24,609
Well, then, as you say,
we're both coming through fine. Good.

509
00:41:24,693 --> 00:41:26,653
It's good that you're fine...

510
00:41:26,695 --> 00:41:28,989
and I'm fine.

511
00:41:29,030 --> 00:41:32,283
I agree with you.
It's great to be fine.

512
00:41:33,159 --> 00:41:35,370
Now, Dimitri...

513
00:41:35,453 --> 00:41:41,126
you know how we've always talked
about the possibility...

514
00:41:41,209 --> 00:41:43,920
of something going wrong
with the bomb.

515
00:41:45,296 --> 00:41:47,257
The bomb, Dimitri.

516
00:41:48,466 --> 00:41:51,094
The hydrogen bomb.

517
00:41:51,177 --> 00:41:54,139
Well, now, what happened is...

518
00:41:54,180 --> 00:41:58,435
one of our base commanders,
he had a sort of--

519
00:41:58,518 --> 00:42:01,730
Well, he went a little funny
in the head.

520
00:42:01,813 --> 00:42:04,899
You know, just a little funny.

521
00:42:04,983 --> 00:42:08,611
And he went and did a silly thing.

522
00:42:09,696 --> 00:42:11,614
I'll tell you what he did.

523
00:42:11,698 --> 00:42:14,034
He ordered his planes...

524
00:42:15,702 --> 00:42:18,163
to attack your country.

525
00:42:18,204 --> 00:42:20,623
Let me finish, Dimitri.

526
00:42:21,624 --> 00:42:23,585
Let me finish, Dimitri.

527
00:42:23,668 --> 00:42:26,838
Listen, how do you think
I feel about it?

528
00:42:26,921 --> 00:42:29,799
Can you imagine how I feel
about it, Dimitri?

529
00:42:31,343 --> 00:42:33,511
Why do you think I'm calling you?

530
00:42:33,553 --> 00:42:35,597
Just to say hello?

531
00:42:36,681 --> 00:42:39,059
Of course I like to speak to you!

532
00:42:39,142 --> 00:42:41,686
Of course I like to say hello!

533
00:42:41,728 --> 00:42:43,938
Not now, but anytime, Dimitri.

534
00:42:44,022 --> 00:42:48,026
I'm just calling up to tell you
something terrible has happened.

535
00:42:48,109 --> 00:42:51,112
Of course, it's a friendly call.

536
00:42:51,196 --> 00:42:55,450
Listen, if it wasn't friendly,
you probably wouldn't have even got it.

537
00:42:57,744 --> 00:43:02,540
They will not reach their targets
for at least another hour.

538
00:43:02,582 --> 00:43:05,710
I am positive, Dimitri.

539
00:43:05,752 --> 00:43:08,213
I've been all over this
with your ambassador.

540
00:43:08,254 --> 00:43:10,757
It is not a trick.

541
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:12,300
I'll tell you.

542
00:43:12,384 --> 00:43:16,221
We'd like to give your Air Staff
a complete rundown on the targets...

543
00:43:16,262 --> 00:43:19,557
the flight plans
and defensive systems of the planes.

544
00:43:19,599 --> 00:43:24,562
Yes, if we're unable
to recall the planes...

545
00:43:24,604 --> 00:43:27,315
I'd say, well...

546
00:43:28,692 --> 00:43:33,071
we're just gonna have to help you
destroy them, Dimitri.

547
00:43:33,113 --> 00:43:36,074
I know they're our boys.

548
00:43:36,116 --> 00:43:38,660
Listen. Now, who should we call?

549
00:43:40,495 --> 00:43:45,000
Who should we call?
Sorry, you faded away.

550
00:43:46,209 --> 00:43:50,088
The Peoples Central
Air Defense Headquarters.

551
00:43:50,130 --> 00:43:52,465
Where is that, Dimitri?

552
00:43:52,507 --> 00:43:54,634
In Omsk. Right.

553
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:56,970
Yes.

554
00:43:57,053 --> 00:43:59,973
You'll call them first, will you?

555
00:44:01,474 --> 00:44:04,394
Do you happen to have the phone number
on you, Dimitri?

556
00:44:06,271 --> 00:44:09,232
What? I see.
Just ask for Omsk information.

557
00:44:11,318 --> 00:44:15,447
I'm sorry too, Dimitri.
I'm very sorry.

558
00:44:15,530 --> 00:44:19,367
All right, you're sorrier than I am.
But I am sorry as well.

559
00:44:21,661 --> 00:44:23,955
I am as sorry as you are, Dimitri.

560
00:44:23,997 --> 00:44:25,999
Don't say that you're more sorry
than I am...

561
00:44:26,041 --> 00:44:29,002
because I'm capable of being
just as sorry as you are.

562
00:44:29,044 --> 00:44:31,004
So we're both sorry, all right?

563
00:44:31,046 --> 00:44:32,505
All right.

564
00:44:33,715 --> 00:44:38,011
Yes, he's right here. Yes, he wants
to talk to you. Just a second.

565
00:44:50,482 --> 00:44:52,233
What?

566
00:45:10,919 --> 00:45:13,797
What? What is it? What?

567
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:16,883
The fools. The mad fools.

568
00:45:18,301 --> 00:45:20,470
What's happened?

569
00:45:20,553 --> 00:45:22,889
The doomsday machine.

570
00:45:22,931 --> 00:45:25,517
The doomsday machine?
What is that?

571
00:45:25,558 --> 00:45:30,980
A device which will destroy
all human and animal life on Earth.

572
00:45:31,064 --> 00:45:33,316
All human and animal life?

573
00:45:48,164 --> 00:45:50,458
- Mandrake?
- Yes, Jack?

574
00:45:51,751 --> 00:45:55,380
Have you ever seen a Commie
drink a glass of water?

575
00:45:55,422 --> 00:46:00,010
Well, I can't say I have, Jack.

576
00:46:01,219 --> 00:46:06,099
Vodka. That's what they drink,
isn't it? Never water.

577
00:46:06,141 --> 00:46:10,562
I believe that's what they drink, yes.

578
00:46:10,603 --> 00:46:14,065
On no account will a Commie
ever drink water...

579
00:46:14,107 --> 00:46:16,484
and not without good reason.

580
00:46:17,569 --> 00:46:20,238
Oh, yes.

581
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:25,368
I can't quite see
what you're getting at.

582
00:46:26,494 --> 00:46:29,706
Water. That's what I'm getting at.
Water.

583
00:46:31,249 --> 00:46:34,711
Mandrake, water is the source
of all life.

584
00:46:36,254 --> 00:46:39,841
Seven-tenths of this Earth's surface
is water.

585
00:46:39,924 --> 00:46:43,261
Why, do you realize that...

586
00:46:43,303 --> 00:46:46,389
70% of you is water?

587
00:46:46,473 --> 00:46:47,891
Good Lord.

588
00:46:47,974 --> 00:46:53,104
And as human beings,
you and I need fresh, pure water...

589
00:46:53,146 --> 00:46:56,775
to replenish
our precious bodily fluids.

590
00:46:56,816 --> 00:46:59,569
- You beginning to understand?
- Yes.

591
00:47:06,910 --> 00:47:12,165
Have you never wondered why I drink
only distilled water...

592
00:47:12,248 --> 00:47:16,670
or rainwater,
and only pure grain alcohol?

593
00:47:16,711 --> 00:47:20,006
It did occur to me, Jack, yes.

594
00:47:21,132 --> 00:47:25,095
Have you ever heard of fluoridation
of water?

595
00:47:26,179 --> 00:47:30,016
Yes, I have heard of that, Jack, yes.

596
00:47:30,058 --> 00:47:32,018
Do you know what it is?

597
00:47:32,060 --> 00:47:35,188
No, no, I don't know what it is.

598
00:47:35,271 --> 00:47:39,192
Do you realize that fluoridation...

599
00:47:39,275 --> 00:47:42,112
is the most monstrously conceived...

600
00:47:42,195 --> 00:47:44,990
and dangerous Communist plot
we have ever had to face?

601
00:47:51,371 --> 00:47:53,373
Two can play at that game, soldier.

602
00:47:58,461 --> 00:48:01,172
That's nice shooting, soldier!

603
00:48:25,655 --> 00:48:27,699
Mandrake, come here.

604
00:48:27,782 --> 00:48:29,826
You calling me, Jack?

605
00:48:29,909 --> 00:48:32,329
Come over here
and help me with this belt.

606
00:48:35,373 --> 00:48:38,376
I haven't had very much experience...

607
00:48:38,418 --> 00:48:41,212
with those sort of machines.

608
00:48:41,296 --> 00:48:45,091
I've only ever pressed a button
in my old Spitfire.

609
00:48:45,175 --> 00:48:48,803
In the name of Her Majesty and the
Continental Congress, feed me this belt.

610
00:48:48,887 --> 00:48:53,641
Jack, I'd love to come,
but what's happened, you see...

611
00:48:53,725 --> 00:48:56,519
the string in my leg is gone.

612
00:48:57,604 --> 00:49:01,399
- The what?
- The string. I never told you.

613
00:49:01,441 --> 00:49:05,362
I've got a gammy leg.
Oh, dear. Gone. Shot off.

614
00:49:07,489 --> 00:49:11,159
Mandrake, come over here.
The redcoats are coming.

615
00:49:12,285 --> 00:49:16,414
When it is detonated, it will produce
enough radioactive fallout...

616
00:49:16,498 --> 00:49:18,458
so that in ten months...

617
00:49:18,500 --> 00:49:21,586
the surface of the Earth
will be as dead as the moon!

618
00:49:21,670 --> 00:49:24,631
Come on, De Sadesky!
That's ridiculous!

619
00:49:24,714 --> 00:49:28,843
Our studies show even the worst fallout
is down to a safe level after two weeks.

620
00:49:28,927 --> 00:49:33,932
- You never heard of cobalt thorium G.
- What about it?

621
00:49:34,015 --> 00:49:38,103
Cobalt thorium G has
a radioactive half-life of93 years.

622
00:49:38,186 --> 00:49:41,272
If you take 50 H bombs
in the 1 00 megaton range...

623
00:49:41,356 --> 00:49:43,775
and jacket them
with cobalt thorium G...

624
00:49:43,817 --> 00:49:48,446
when they are exploded,
they will produce a doomsday shroud...

625
00:49:48,530 --> 00:49:50,824
a lethal cloud of radioactivity...

626
00:49:50,907 --> 00:49:55,328
which will encircle the Earth
for 93 years!

627
00:49:55,412 --> 00:49:58,957
What a load of Commie bull.
I mean, after all.

628
00:50:00,041 --> 00:50:02,711
I'm afraid I don't understand
something, Alexi.

629
00:50:02,794 --> 00:50:06,423
Is the premier threatening to explode it
if our planes carry out their attack?

630
00:50:06,506 --> 00:50:09,050
No, sir. It is not a thing
a sane man would do.

631
00:50:09,134 --> 00:50:12,053
The doomsday machine is designed
to trigger itself automatically.

632
00:50:12,137 --> 00:50:14,389
Surely you can disarm it somehow.

633
00:50:14,472 --> 00:50:18,393
It is designed to explode if
any attempt is made to un-trigger it.

634
00:50:18,476 --> 00:50:19,728
Automatically?

635
00:50:19,811 --> 00:50:22,397
It's a Commie trick!
We're wasting valuable time!

636
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:25,567
Look at the big board!
They're getting ready to clobber us!

637
00:50:25,650 --> 00:50:30,322
This is absolute madness.
Why should you build such a thing?

638
00:50:30,363 --> 00:50:32,365
There are those of us
who fought against it.

639
00:50:32,407 --> 00:50:34,492
But in the end, we could not keep up
with the expense involved...

640
00:50:34,534 --> 00:50:39,080
in the arms race, the space race
and the peace race.

641
00:50:39,164 --> 00:50:44,377
At the same time, our people grumbled
for more nylons and washing machines.

642
00:50:44,461 --> 00:50:47,005
Our doomsday scheme cost us
just a small fraction...

643
00:50:47,088 --> 00:50:50,342
of what we have been spending on defense
in a single year.

644
00:50:50,383 --> 00:50:54,846
The deciding factor was when we learned
your country was working similarly...

645
00:50:54,888 --> 00:50:56,848
and we were afraid of a doomsday gap!

646
00:50:56,890 --> 00:51:00,268
This is preposterous! I've never
approved of anything like that.

647
00:51:00,352 --> 00:51:03,188
Our source was The New York Times.

648
00:51:03,229 --> 00:51:07,150
Dr. Strangelove, do we have anything
like that in the works?

649
00:51:07,233 --> 00:51:09,694
A moment, please, Mr. President.

650
00:51:12,405 --> 00:51:15,867
Under the authority granted me...

651
00:51:15,909 --> 00:51:20,080
as director of weapons research
and development...

652
00:51:20,163 --> 00:51:24,376
I commissioned last year
a study of this project...

653
00:51:24,417 --> 00:51:26,670
by the Bland Corporation.

654
00:51:26,753 --> 00:51:29,881
Based on the findings of the report...

655
00:51:29,964 --> 00:51:35,470
my conclusion was that this idea
was not a practical deterrent...

656
00:51:35,553 --> 00:51:39,391
for reasons which at this moment
must be all too obvious.

657
00:51:39,432 --> 00:51:42,852
You mean it is possible for them
to have built such a thing?

658
00:51:47,023 --> 00:51:51,903
Mr. President, the technology required
is easily within the means...

659
00:51:51,945 --> 00:51:56,366
of even the smallest nuclear power.

660
00:51:56,449 --> 00:52:00,412
It requires only the will to do so.

661
00:52:01,413 --> 00:52:05,291
But how is it possible for this thing
to be triggered automatically...

662
00:52:05,333 --> 00:52:07,669
and at the same time
impossible to un-trigger?

663
00:52:07,752 --> 00:52:11,756
Mr. President,
it is not only possible...

664
00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:13,800
it is essential.

665
00:52:13,842 --> 00:52:18,304
That is the whole idea
of this machine, you know.

666
00:52:18,346 --> 00:52:23,560
Deterrence is the art of producing
in the mind of the enemy...

667
00:52:23,643 --> 00:52:26,229
the fear of attack.

668
00:52:26,313 --> 00:52:31,234
And so because of the automated and
irrevocable decision-making process...

669
00:52:31,318 --> 00:52:35,196
which rules out human meddling...

670
00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:39,242
the doomsday machine is terrifying...

671
00:52:39,326 --> 00:52:41,411
and simple to understand...

672
00:52:41,494 --> 00:52:45,165
and completely credible
and convincing.

673
00:52:45,248 --> 00:52:48,585
I wish we had one of them
doomsday machines.

674
00:52:48,668 --> 00:52:52,255
But this is fantastic, Strangelove.
How can it be triggered automatically?

675
00:52:52,339 --> 00:52:56,134
It's remarkably simple to do that.

676
00:52:56,176 --> 00:52:59,721
When you merely wish to bury bombs...

677
00:52:59,804 --> 00:53:02,140
there's no limit to the size.

678
00:53:02,182 --> 00:53:04,434
After that, they are connected...

679
00:53:04,517 --> 00:53:08,521
to a gigantic complex of computers.

680
00:53:08,605 --> 00:53:14,319
Now then, a specific and clearly
defined set of circumstances...

681
00:53:14,402 --> 00:53:17,864
under which the bombs
are to be exploded...

682
00:53:17,947 --> 00:53:21,993
is programmed into a tape memory bank.

683
00:53:22,035 --> 00:53:25,163
Hmm. Strangelove?

684
00:53:26,206 --> 00:53:29,292
What kind of a name is that?
That ain't no Kraut name, is it?

685
00:53:29,376 --> 00:53:31,670
He changed it when he became a citizen.

686
00:53:31,711 --> 00:53:34,714
It used to be Merkwurdichliebe.

687
00:53:34,798 --> 00:53:39,177
Well, a Kraut by any other name,
uh, Stainsey?

688
00:53:41,054 --> 00:53:45,433
The whole point of
the doomsday machine...

689
00:53:45,517 --> 00:53:49,062
is lost if you keep it a secret!

690
00:53:49,145 --> 00:53:51,314
Why didn't you tell the world?

691
00:53:51,398 --> 00:53:55,777
It was to be announced
at the Party Congress on Monday.

692
00:53:55,860 --> 00:53:59,197
As you know,
the premier loves surprises.

693
00:54:47,662 --> 00:54:49,914
Stay with me, Mandrake.

694
00:54:55,086 --> 00:54:57,756
All right, now feed me.
Feed me, boy.

695
00:55:27,661 --> 00:55:32,707
Don't you think we'd be better off
away from this flying glass?

696
00:55:32,791 --> 00:55:34,834
We're okay here.

697
00:55:36,503 --> 00:55:40,507
Mandrake, do you realize that
in addition to fluoridating the water...

698
00:55:40,590 --> 00:55:44,135
there are studies underway
to fluoridate salt, flour...

699
00:55:44,219 --> 00:55:49,265
fruit juices, soup, sugar,
milk, ice cream?

700
00:55:49,349 --> 00:55:50,600
Ice cream.

701
00:55:50,684 --> 00:55:53,103
- Children's ice cream.
- Good Lord.

702
00:55:53,186 --> 00:55:55,605
You know when fluoridation
first began?

703
00:55:56,648 --> 00:55:58,566
No, I don't, Jack.

704
00:55:58,650 --> 00:56:01,111
1 946.

705
00:56:01,194 --> 00:56:03,947
1 946, Mandrake.

706
00:56:04,030 --> 00:56:08,326
How does that coincide with
your postwar Commie conspiracy, huh?

707
00:56:08,368 --> 00:56:11,705
It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

708
00:56:11,746 --> 00:56:17,293
A foreign substance is introduced
into our precious bodily fluids...

709
00:56:17,377 --> 00:56:20,630
without the knowledge
of the individual.

710
00:56:20,714 --> 00:56:22,632
Certainly without any choice.

711
00:56:24,426 --> 00:56:27,721
That's the way a hard-core Commie works.

712
00:56:29,180 --> 00:56:32,392
Jack. Tell me, Jack.

713
00:56:32,475 --> 00:56:35,145
When did you first become--

714
00:56:35,228 --> 00:56:37,981
Well, develop this theory?

715
00:56:39,065 --> 00:56:41,318
Well, l--

716
00:56:41,401 --> 00:56:44,946
I first became aware of it, Mandrake...

717
00:56:45,030 --> 00:56:47,032
during the physical act of love.

718
00:56:48,783 --> 00:56:53,038
Yes, a profound sense of fatigue...

719
00:56:53,121 --> 00:56:55,707
feeling of emptiness followed.

720
00:56:55,749 --> 00:56:59,544
Luckily I was able to interpret
these feelings correctly.

721
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:02,547
Loss of essence.

722
00:57:04,215 --> 00:57:07,927
I can assure you it has not recurred,
Mandrake.

723
00:57:08,011 --> 00:57:10,930
Women sense my power...

724
00:57:12,182 --> 00:57:14,309
and they seek the life essence.

725
00:57:15,602 --> 00:57:18,938
I do not avoid women, Mandrake.

726
00:57:18,980 --> 00:57:21,900
But I do deny them my essence.

727
00:57:21,941 --> 00:57:24,819
Yes, yes, Jack.

728
00:57:37,457 --> 00:57:39,584
Cease fire!

729
00:58:00,897 --> 00:58:02,607
My boys must have surrendered.

730
00:58:02,649 --> 00:58:04,985
There it is.

731
00:58:05,068 --> 00:58:06,903
Jack, listen.

732
00:58:06,987 --> 00:58:10,323
While there's still time, I beg you,
let's recall the Wing and--

733
00:58:12,450 --> 00:58:15,286
Those boys were like my children.

734
00:58:16,830 --> 00:58:18,915
Now they let me down.

735
00:58:18,999 --> 00:58:20,667
No, not a bit.

736
00:58:20,750 --> 00:58:23,545
I'm sure they all gave it
their very best.

737
00:58:23,628 --> 00:58:26,131
I'm equally sure they all died
thinking of you...

738
00:58:26,172 --> 00:58:28,925
every man jack of them, Jack.

739
00:58:29,009 --> 00:58:31,636
Supposing a bit of water
has gone off, eh?

740
00:58:31,720 --> 00:58:34,014
Certainly one can never be too sure
about those things.

741
00:58:34,097 --> 00:58:37,058
But look at me.
Do I look all rancid and clotted?

742
00:58:37,142 --> 00:58:39,936
Look at me, Jack. Look.

743
00:58:40,020 --> 00:58:44,107
And I drink a lot of water.
I'm what you might call a water man.

744
00:58:44,190 --> 00:58:47,527
And I can swear to you, my boy,
swear to you...

745
00:58:47,610 --> 00:58:49,863
that there's nothing wrong
with my bodily fluids.

746
00:58:49,946 --> 00:58:52,449
Not a thing, Jackie.

747
00:58:52,532 --> 00:58:54,826
Mandrake, were you ever
a prisoner of war?

748
00:58:54,868 --> 00:58:58,538
Well, Jack, the time's running very--

749
00:58:58,621 --> 00:59:01,666
- What?
- Were you ever a prisoner of war?

750
00:59:01,750 --> 00:59:03,835
Yes, I was, as a matter of fact.

751
00:59:03,918 --> 00:59:07,005
Did they torture you?

752
00:59:07,088 --> 00:59:10,133
Yes, they did.
I was tortured by the Japanese.

753
00:59:10,216 --> 00:59:11,843
Not a pretty story.

754
00:59:11,926 --> 00:59:13,511
What happened?

755
00:59:13,595 --> 00:59:17,891
I don't know, Jack. It's difficult
to think under these conditions.

756
00:59:17,974 --> 00:59:20,185
Well, what happened was...

757
00:59:20,268 --> 00:59:23,688
they got me on the old
Rangoon-Inchinawa Railway.

758
00:59:23,730 --> 00:59:28,109
I was laying train lines
for the bloody Japanese puff-puffs.

759
00:59:28,193 --> 00:59:31,404
No, I mean, when they tortured you,
did you talk?

760
00:59:33,156 --> 00:59:35,158
No, l--

761
00:59:35,241 --> 00:59:39,496
Well, I don't think they wanted me
to talk, really, or say anything.

762
00:59:39,579 --> 00:59:42,666
It was their way of having
a bit of fun, the swine.

763
00:59:42,749 --> 00:59:46,086
The strange thing is,
they make such bloody good cameras.

764
00:59:47,796 --> 00:59:53,426
Those clowns outside will give me
a good going-over soon for the code.

765
00:59:56,429 --> 00:59:59,808
Yes, you may have quite a point
there, Jack.

766
01:00:00,934 --> 01:00:03,895
I don't know how well
I could stand up under torture.

767
01:00:03,979 --> 01:00:07,232
The answer to that is,
no one ever does.

768
01:00:07,315 --> 01:00:11,444
And my advise to you
is to give me the code now.

769
01:00:11,528 --> 01:00:14,447
If those devils come back
and try any rough stuff...

770
01:00:14,489 --> 01:00:17,742
we'll fight them together
like we did just now on the floor.

771
01:00:17,826 --> 01:00:21,371
You with your gun and me
with a belt of ammo, feeding you.

772
01:00:21,454 --> 01:00:24,249
" Feed me," you said,
and I was feeding you, Jack.

773
01:00:24,290 --> 01:00:26,960
You know, Mandrake...

774
01:00:27,043 --> 01:00:30,255
I happen to believe in
a life after this one...

775
01:00:31,798 --> 01:00:35,218
and I know I'll have to answer
for what I've done.

776
01:00:37,053 --> 01:00:38,513
And I think I can.

777
01:00:38,596 --> 01:00:41,808
Yes, of course you can.
Of course you can. You can.

778
01:00:41,891 --> 01:00:44,311
I'm a religious man myself,
you know.

779
01:00:44,394 --> 01:00:48,273
I believe in all that sort of thing
and I'm hoping, you know, Jack--

780
01:00:48,315 --> 01:00:51,192
You've dropped your gun, Jack.

781
01:00:51,276 --> 01:00:54,863
No, Jack, let me take that for you.

782
01:00:54,946 --> 01:00:58,450
You know what I'm hoping? I'm hoping
you're going to give me the code, boy.

783
01:01:00,201 --> 01:01:02,829
You're going to wash and brush up?
What a good idea.

784
01:01:02,912 --> 01:01:05,498
Always did wonders for a man,
a wash and brush up.

785
01:01:05,582 --> 01:01:08,335
Water on the back of the neck
makes you feel marvellous.

786
01:01:08,418 --> 01:01:11,171
That's what we need: water on
the back of the neck and the code.

787
01:01:11,254 --> 01:01:14,841
Supposing I play a little guessing game
with you, Jack boy?

788
01:01:14,924 --> 01:01:17,927
I'll try and guess
what the code is--

789
01:01:34,402 --> 01:01:38,907
Copilot to navigator.
I'm ready with the fuel figures now.

790
01:01:38,990 --> 01:01:41,951
We have 1 09,000 total...

791
01:01:42,035 --> 01:01:44,871
79,000in the mains...

792
01:01:44,913 --> 01:01:47,707
and30,000in the auxiliaries.

793
01:01:47,791 --> 01:01:49,709
And that works out
toroughly...

794
01:01:49,793 --> 01:01:53,254
seven hours, 15minutes
endurance from this time.

795
01:01:54,381 --> 01:01:55,840
D.S.O. to Captain.

796
01:01:55,882 --> 01:01:59,010
I have an unidentified
radar blip.

797
01:02:00,387 --> 01:02:03,014
Distance: 60 miles.

798
01:02:04,182 --> 01:02:07,352
Approximate speed:
Mach three.

799
01:02:07,394 --> 01:02:09,354
Looks like
a missile tracking us.

800
01:02:12,273 --> 01:02:14,359
Confirmed:
definite missile track.

801
01:02:14,401 --> 01:02:16,486
Commence evasive action right.

802
01:02:22,742 --> 01:02:26,371
Missile still closing range.

803
01:02:26,454 --> 01:02:30,458
Distance: 50 miles.
Continue evasive action.

804
01:02:30,542 --> 01:02:33,253
Lock E.C.M. to target intercept mode.

805
01:02:33,336 --> 01:02:36,965
E.C.M. locked to
target intercept mode.

806
01:02:37,048 --> 01:02:39,467
Missile still tracking
and closing distance.

807
01:02:39,551 --> 01:02:43,555
Range: 40 miles.
Continue evasive action.

808
01:02:46,433 --> 01:02:50,729
Electronic Guidance Scrambler
to blue grid.

809
01:02:50,770 --> 01:02:54,274
Missile still tracking steady
and closing distance.

810
01:02:54,357 --> 01:02:56,276
Range: 30 miles.

811
01:02:58,570 --> 01:03:02,782
Missile still closing true and steady.
Continue evasive action.

812
01:03:10,332 --> 01:03:12,334
Range: 20 miles.

813
01:03:12,417 --> 01:03:16,296
Missile still closing distance
and tracking steady.

814
01:03:16,338 --> 01:03:18,798
Attack range gate
on maximum scan.

815
01:03:18,840 --> 01:03:21,301
Range gate on maximum scan.

816
01:03:21,343 --> 01:03:24,220
Range: 10 miles.

817
01:03:24,304 --> 01:03:28,266
Missile track deflecting.
Continue evasive action.

818
01:03:28,308 --> 01:03:31,603
Deflection increasing.
Range: eight miles.

819
01:03:31,645 --> 01:03:35,607
Deflection still increasing.
Range: six miles.

820
01:03:35,649 --> 01:03:38,360
Missile still deflecting.
Range: four miles.

821
01:03:44,157 --> 01:03:47,369
Range: two miles.
Missile still deflecting.

822
01:03:47,452 --> 01:03:49,704
Range: one mile.
Missile detonated!

823
01:03:56,378 --> 01:03:58,463
- Start lever to cut off!.
- Cut off!.

824
01:04:01,883 --> 01:04:03,343
We're losin' power!

825
01:04:11,768 --> 01:04:14,104
Re-select essential power!

826
01:04:14,187 --> 01:04:16,189
Essential power re-selected.

827
01:04:22,821 --> 01:04:24,739
The hatch is stuck!

828
01:04:28,326 --> 01:04:29,744
Hit emergency power!

829
01:04:32,247 --> 01:04:35,083
- Extinguishers!
- Roger!

830
01:04:41,840 --> 01:04:45,093
- Transfer switches!
- Transferred!

831
01:04:45,176 --> 01:04:47,429
- Boost pumps off!.
- Cut off!.

832
01:04:59,190 --> 01:05:01,192
Fuel valves three, four and six!

833
01:05:13,705 --> 01:05:15,123
Give me full power!

834
01:05:28,011 --> 01:05:30,597
Peace on Earth.

835
01:05:35,268 --> 01:05:37,937
P.O.E.

836
01:05:38,021 --> 01:05:40,899
Purity of Essence.

837
01:05:40,940 --> 01:05:44,486
O.P.O.E.

838
01:05:55,622 --> 01:05:57,957
Put your hands over your head.

839
01:05:58,041 --> 01:06:00,669
What do you think you're doing?
Who are you?

840
01:06:00,752 --> 01:06:02,629
Put your hands over your head.

841
01:06:02,671 --> 01:06:06,257
What kind of suit
do you call that, fella?

842
01:06:06,341 --> 01:06:08,343
What do you mean, suit?

843
01:06:08,426 --> 01:06:10,845
This happens to be
an R.A.F. uniform...

844
01:06:10,929 --> 01:06:15,266
and I am Group Captain Lionel Mandrake,
General Ripper's executive officer.

845
01:06:15,308 --> 01:06:16,851
Where's General Ripper?

846
01:06:16,935 --> 01:06:19,771
He's dead, in the bathroom.

847
01:06:19,813 --> 01:06:21,982
Where's the bathroom?

848
01:06:22,065 --> 01:06:23,525
Next to you.

849
01:06:32,993 --> 01:06:35,704
I don't know what stupid game
this is you're playing...

850
01:06:35,787 --> 01:06:37,914
but I've got a good idea
what the recall code is...

851
01:06:37,998 --> 01:06:40,500
and I have to get in touch
with SAC headquarters immediately!

852
01:06:40,583 --> 01:06:44,295
Put your hands over your head
and keep 'em there! Go on.

853
01:06:44,337 --> 01:06:46,047
Got any witnesses?

854
01:06:46,131 --> 01:06:48,049
What are you talking about?
He shot himself!.

855
01:06:48,133 --> 01:06:50,135
While he was shavin'?

856
01:06:50,218 --> 01:06:53,388
Now look, Colonel Bat Guano...

857
01:06:53,471 --> 01:06:55,932
if that really is your name...

858
01:06:56,016 --> 01:06:59,853
may I tell you that I have
a very good idea--

859
01:06:59,936 --> 01:07:02,981
I think, hope, pray--
what the recall code is.

860
01:07:03,023 --> 01:07:05,775
It's some theme he kept repeating.
A variation on...

861
01:07:05,859 --> 01:07:09,070
" Peace on Earth" or " Purity of Essence,"
one of those.

862
01:07:09,154 --> 01:07:12,991
Put your hands on top of your head.
Start walkin'.

863
01:07:13,033 --> 01:07:16,286
Don't you know that General Ripper
went mad...

864
01:07:16,369 --> 01:07:19,748
and sent the whole Wing
to attack the Soviets?

865
01:07:19,831 --> 01:07:23,335
- What are you talkin' about?
- I'll tell you what I'm talking about.

866
01:07:23,418 --> 01:07:27,505
I'm going to pick up this red telephone,
which is connected to SAC...

867
01:07:27,589 --> 01:07:29,049
and I hope--

868
01:07:30,550 --> 01:07:32,719
Blast. Blast.

869
01:07:32,802 --> 01:07:36,806
Shot away, I expect, by one of your men
during this ridiculous fighting!

870
01:07:38,224 --> 01:07:40,268
Right.

871
01:07:40,352 --> 01:07:43,730
All right, Charlie, I've been
wastin' too much time on you.

872
01:07:43,813 --> 01:07:47,609
I got a lot of wounded men outside.
Start walkin'.

873
01:08:09,923 --> 01:08:13,760
All the radio gear is out,
including the C.R.M. 114.

874
01:08:13,802 --> 01:08:16,972
I think the auto-destruct mechanism
got hit and blew itself up.

875
01:08:21,476 --> 01:08:24,729
The fire is out.
The emergency power is on.

876
01:08:24,771 --> 01:08:28,274
Everything checks out all right.
Will advise.

877
01:08:28,358 --> 01:08:30,068
Roger. Navigator?

878
01:08:30,151 --> 01:08:35,615
I've worked out our rate of fuel loss
at approximately 1 -6-2 per minute.

879
01:08:35,699 --> 01:08:38,493
This gives us a radius of action
sufficient to take out...

880
01:08:38,576 --> 01:08:41,955
primary and secondary targets,
but we will not...

881
01:08:41,997 --> 01:08:46,167
repeat, not be able to make it back
to any base or neutral country.

882
01:08:47,127 --> 01:08:49,671
However, we would have
enough fuel to ditch...

883
01:08:49,754 --> 01:08:52,465
at weather ship Tango Delta...

884
01:08:52,549 --> 01:08:55,802
grid coordinates 0-0-3-6-9-1.

885
01:09:00,598 --> 01:09:03,018
Well, boys,
we got three engines out.

886
01:09:03,101 --> 01:09:06,896
We got more holes in us
than a horse trader's mule.

887
01:09:06,980 --> 01:09:08,982
The radio is gone,
and we're leakin' fuel.

888
01:09:09,065 --> 01:09:12,485
And if we was flyin' any lower,
we'd need sleigh bells on this thing.

889
01:09:12,569 --> 01:09:15,572
But we got one little budge
on them Ruskies.

890
01:09:15,655 --> 01:09:17,574
At this height
they might harpoon us...

891
01:09:17,657 --> 01:09:20,744
but they sure ain't gonna spot us
on no radar screen.

892
01:09:31,921 --> 01:09:33,840
The other way.

893
01:09:33,923 --> 01:09:36,343
- Where are you taking me?
- To the main gate.

894
01:09:38,386 --> 01:09:41,848
Colonel, I must know what you think
has been going on here.

895
01:09:41,931 --> 01:09:43,850
- You wanna know what I think?
- Yes.

896
01:09:43,933 --> 01:09:46,645
I think you're some kind
of deviated "prevert."

897
01:09:46,686 --> 01:09:49,439
I think General Ripper found out
about your "preversion"...

898
01:09:49,522 --> 01:09:51,858
and that you were organizing
some kind of mutiny of "preverts."

899
01:09:51,858 --> 01:09:54,277
Now, move!

900
01:09:54,361 --> 01:09:57,656
On top of that, I don't know anything
about any planes attacking Russia.

901
01:09:57,739 --> 01:10:01,534
I was told to get Ripper on the phone
with the President of the United States.

902
01:10:01,618 --> 01:10:06,373
Now just one second.
You just said "the president."

903
01:10:06,456 --> 01:10:08,667
What about the president?

904
01:10:08,750 --> 01:10:11,920
The president wants to speak
to General Ripper, doesn't he?

905
01:10:12,003 --> 01:10:14,589
Now, General Ripper is dead,
is he not?

906
01:10:14,673 --> 01:10:16,883
I am General Ripper's
executive officer...

907
01:10:16,966 --> 01:10:19,928
so the president will want
to speak to me, won't he?

908
01:10:20,011 --> 01:10:23,723
There's a telephone box over there
and the line may be open.

909
01:10:23,807 --> 01:10:26,601
You wanna talk to
the President of the United States?

910
01:10:26,685 --> 01:10:29,562
I don't want to talk to him, Colonel,
I've got to talk to him.

911
01:10:29,604 --> 01:10:33,274
And if you don't put that gun away
and stop this stupid nonsense...

912
01:10:33,358 --> 01:10:37,362
the Court of Inquiry on this
will give you such a pranging...

913
01:10:37,445 --> 01:10:41,533
you'll be lucky to end up wearing the
uniform of a bloody toilet attendant!

914
01:10:46,371 --> 01:10:50,000
Go ahead, try and get the President
of the United States on the phone.

915
01:10:52,669 --> 01:10:54,713
Try any "preversions,"
I'll blow your head off.

916
01:11:09,352 --> 01:11:12,188
Operator? This is
Group Captain Lionel Mandrake.

917
01:11:12,272 --> 01:11:14,316
I'm speaking from
Burpelson Air Force Base.

918
01:11:14,399 --> 01:11:18,278
Something urgent has come up and I want
you to place a person-to-person call...

919
01:11:18,361 --> 01:11:21,448
with President Merkin Muffley
in the Pentagon, Washington, D.C.

920
01:11:22,824 --> 01:11:26,036
Burpelson3-9-1-8-0.

921
01:11:27,245 --> 01:11:32,292
No, I'm perfectly serious.
The President of the United States.

922
01:11:32,375 --> 01:11:35,295
I'm sorry,
I haven't got enough change.

923
01:11:35,337 --> 01:11:38,798
Could you make this
a collect call, Operator?

924
01:11:50,727 --> 01:11:54,356
Just one second, Operator.
They won't accept the call.

925
01:11:54,439 --> 01:11:56,316
Have you got 55 cents?

926
01:11:56,399 --> 01:11:59,444
Do you think I'd go into combat
with loose change in my pocket?

927
01:12:01,821 --> 01:12:04,699
Operator, look.

928
01:12:04,783 --> 01:12:08,244
Is it possible to make this
an ordinary trunk call?

929
01:12:08,328 --> 01:12:11,122
Well, what do you call it?
You know--

930
01:12:11,164 --> 01:12:14,167
Oh, station-to-station.

931
01:12:18,296 --> 01:12:21,800
Oh, blast!
I'm still 20 cents short.

932
01:12:23,677 --> 01:12:27,097
Operator, hold on.
I shan't keep you a second.

933
01:12:27,180 --> 01:12:31,309
Colonel, that Coca-Cola machine.
I want you to shoot the lock off it.

934
01:12:31,393 --> 01:12:33,478
There may be change in there.

935
01:12:37,023 --> 01:12:38,483
That's private property.

936
01:12:38,525 --> 01:12:41,486
Can you possibly imagine
what is going to happen to you...

937
01:12:41,528 --> 01:12:44,239
your frame outlook,
way of life and everything...

938
01:12:44,322 --> 01:12:48,827
when they learn you have obstructed
a phone call to the president?

939
01:12:48,910 --> 01:12:52,914
Can you imagine?
Shoot it off!.

940
01:12:52,998 --> 01:12:56,626
Shoot with the gun! That's what
the bullets are for, you twit!

941
01:12:56,710 --> 01:13:00,130
Okay, I'm gonna get
your money for you.

942
01:13:00,213 --> 01:13:04,342
But if you don't get the president on
the phone, you know what's gonna happen?

943
01:13:04,426 --> 01:13:08,013
You're gonna have to answer
to the Coca-Cola Company.

944
01:13:17,355 --> 01:13:20,275
This is SAC
Communications Control.

945
01:13:20,358 --> 01:13:23,737
There call code O.P.E...

946
01:13:23,820 --> 01:13:25,739
is being acknowledged "roger"...

947
01:13:25,822 --> 01:13:30,744
by elements of
the 8-4-3 Bomb Wing.

948
01:13:30,785 --> 01:13:32,787
These are the details.

949
01:13:32,871 --> 01:13:37,417
Missions 12, 22, 30and38...

950
01:13:37,500 --> 01:13:41,046
are reported destroyed
by enemy action.

951
01:13:41,129 --> 01:13:45,717
All other missions have
acknowledged recall code.

952
01:13:45,800 --> 01:13:47,761
This is SAC Communications Control.

953
01:13:47,802 --> 01:13:49,471
Over and out.

954
01:13:49,554 --> 01:13:51,431
Gentlemen, gentlemen.

955
01:13:51,514 --> 01:13:53,933
Gentlemen.

956
01:13:53,975 --> 01:13:55,935
Mr. President.

957
01:13:55,977 --> 01:13:58,063
I'm not a sentimentalist by nature...

958
01:13:58,146 --> 01:14:01,399
but I think I know what's
in every heart in this room.

959
01:14:01,483 --> 01:14:05,320
I think we all ought
to bow our heads...

960
01:14:05,403 --> 01:14:07,447
and give a prayer of thanks
for our deliverance.

961
01:14:07,530 --> 01:14:08,948
Lord...

962
01:14:10,200 --> 01:14:14,788
we have heard the wings
of the Angel of Death...

963
01:14:14,871 --> 01:14:17,749
fluttering over our heads
from the Valley of Fear.

964
01:14:17,791 --> 01:14:20,460
You have seen fit to deliver us
from the forces of evil--

965
01:14:20,543 --> 01:14:22,128
Excuse me, sir.

966
01:14:22,212 --> 01:14:25,340
Premier Kissoff's calling again
and he's hopping mad.

967
01:14:32,097 --> 01:14:36,017
Fuel flow on active engines
and leakage has increased.

968
01:14:36,101 --> 01:14:40,105
Now works out at 2-0-5.

969
01:14:41,189 --> 01:14:43,191
Estimate remaining fuel...

970
01:14:43,274 --> 01:14:47,153
at8-7-9-0.

971
01:14:50,490 --> 01:14:54,369
Roger.
Confirm 2-0-5 per minute...

972
01:14:54,452 --> 01:14:58,498
and remaining fuel8-7-9-0.

973
01:15:05,005 --> 01:15:09,134
No, no, Dimitri,
there must be some mistake.

974
01:15:09,175 --> 01:15:11,261
No, I'm certain of that.

975
01:15:11,344 --> 01:15:15,515
I'm perfectly certain
of that, Dimitri.

976
01:15:15,598 --> 01:15:18,518
Just a second.
You know what he says?

977
01:15:18,560 --> 01:15:20,812
He says one of the planes
hasn't turned back.

978
01:15:20,895 --> 01:15:23,481
He says according to information
forwarded by our Air Staffs...

979
01:15:23,565 --> 01:15:26,526
it's headed for
the missile complex at Laputa.

980
01:15:29,529 --> 01:15:32,449
That's impossible, Mr. President.

981
01:15:32,532 --> 01:15:34,576
I mean,
look at the big board.

982
01:15:34,659 --> 01:15:37,787
Thirty-four planes, 30 recalls
acknowledged and four splashes...

983
01:15:37,871 --> 01:15:40,707
and one of them
was targeted for Laputa.

984
01:15:43,668 --> 01:15:46,838
Dimitri, look, we've got
an acknowledgement from every plane...

985
01:15:46,921 --> 01:15:50,175
except the four you've shot down.

986
01:15:57,557 --> 01:15:59,934
Hang on a second, Dimitri.

987
01:16:00,018 --> 01:16:03,355
He says their air defense now only
claims three aircraft confirmed.

988
01:16:03,396 --> 01:16:05,899
The fourth may only be damaged.

989
01:16:08,068 --> 01:16:09,986
Mr. President...

990
01:16:10,070 --> 01:16:12,405
I'm beginnin' to smell
a big, fat Commie rat.

991
01:16:12,489 --> 01:16:16,368
I mean, supposin' Kissoff is lyin'
about that fourth plane...

992
01:16:16,409 --> 01:16:18,578
just lookin' for
an excuse to clobber us?

993
01:16:18,662 --> 01:16:21,081
If the spaghetti hits the fan,
we're in trouble.

994
01:16:25,210 --> 01:16:27,796
Dimitri, look,
if this report is true...

995
01:16:27,879 --> 01:16:31,508
and the plane manages
to bomb the target...

996
01:16:31,591 --> 01:16:35,804
is this gonna set off
the doomsday machine?

997
01:16:39,057 --> 01:16:41,017
Are you sure?

998
01:16:42,227 --> 01:16:46,773
Well, I guess you're just gonna have
to get that plane, Dimitri.

999
01:16:46,856 --> 01:16:49,901
I'm sorry they're jamming
your radar and flying so low...

1000
01:16:49,985 --> 01:16:52,195
but they're trained to do it.

1001
01:16:52,278 --> 01:16:53,905
It's initiative.

1002
01:16:55,615 --> 01:16:58,493
Look, Dimitri, you know
exactly where they're going...

1003
01:16:58,576 --> 01:17:01,746
and I'm sure your entire air defense
can stop a single plane.

1004
01:17:04,916 --> 01:17:09,504
It's not gonna help either one of us
if the doomsday machine goes off, is it?

1005
01:17:11,047 --> 01:17:16,303
There's no point in you getting
hysterical at a moment like this!

1006
01:17:16,386 --> 01:17:20,598
Keep your feet on the ground
when you're talking, Dimitri.

1007
01:17:20,682 --> 01:17:22,934
I am not--
I am not getting--

1008
01:17:23,018 --> 01:17:25,478
No, Dimitri, I'm just worried.

1009
01:17:25,520 --> 01:17:27,439
That's all.

1010
01:17:27,480 --> 01:17:30,567
Now look, if our Air Staffs say
its primary target is Laputa...

1011
01:17:30,692 --> 01:17:34,571
and its secondary target is Borchov,
it's true.

1012
01:17:34,654 --> 01:17:36,114
You gotta believe it!

1013
01:17:36,156 --> 01:17:39,909
Dimitri, can I give you
just one word--

1014
01:17:39,993 --> 01:17:43,288
Can I give you just one word
of advice, Dimitri?

1015
01:17:43,371 --> 01:17:45,040
Listen, Dimitri.

1016
01:17:45,123 --> 01:17:48,668
Put everything you've got into
those two sectors, and you can't miss!

1017
01:17:55,050 --> 01:17:58,720
Sir, if we continue to lose fuel
at the present rate...

1018
01:17:58,803 --> 01:18:02,932
I estimate we only have
38 minutes flying time...

1019
01:18:03,016 --> 01:18:05,477
which will not even take us
as far as the primary.

1020
01:18:05,518 --> 01:18:09,481
Doggone it, Sweets, you told me that
you could get me to the primary!

1021
01:18:09,522 --> 01:18:13,360
I'm sorry, sir. That estimate was based
on the original loss rate factor...

1022
01:18:13,443 --> 01:18:15,236
not at 2-0-5.

1023
01:18:15,320 --> 01:18:17,572
I don't give a hoot in hell
how you do it...

1024
01:18:17,656 --> 01:18:19,824
you just get me to
the primary, you hear?

1025
01:18:19,866 --> 01:18:23,328
I'm sorry, sir,
but those are the figures.

1026
01:18:23,370 --> 01:18:26,665
We'll be lucky to reach
weather ship at Tango Delta.

1027
01:18:26,706 --> 01:18:28,917
Well, shoot!

1028
01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:33,338
We ain't come this far just
to dump this thing in the drink.

1029
01:18:33,380 --> 01:18:35,382
What's the nearest
target of opportunity?

1030
01:18:44,182 --> 01:18:46,893
Sir, if the rate of loss
does not increase...

1031
01:18:46,977 --> 01:18:50,730
we have a chance
to reach target 3-8-4...

1032
01:18:50,814 --> 01:18:55,652
grid coordinate 0-0-3-6-9-1 ...

1033
01:18:55,735 --> 01:18:59,572
and possibly make it from there
to the Tango Delta weather ship.

1034
01:18:59,656 --> 01:19:01,783
What kind of a target
is that, anyhow?

1035
01:19:01,866 --> 01:19:05,787
Sir, that's the I.C.B.M.
complex at Kotloss.

1036
01:19:05,870 --> 01:19:11,584
All right.
Designating new target: 3-8-4.

1037
01:19:11,668 --> 01:19:14,671
Give me a headin' on that just as soon
as you get it worked out.

1038
01:19:26,850 --> 01:19:31,730
We'll keep our fingers crossed.
Remember, we're all in this together.

1039
01:19:31,771 --> 01:19:35,608
We're right behind you,
we're with you all the way.

1040
01:19:35,692 --> 01:19:39,404
Yes. We'll keep the line open.

1041
01:19:39,487 --> 01:19:40,947
All right, Dimitri.

1042
01:19:43,283 --> 01:19:44,743
General Turgidson...

1043
01:19:44,784 --> 01:19:48,038
is there really a chance
for that plane to get through?

1044
01:19:49,748 --> 01:19:52,167
Mr. President,
if I may speak freely.

1045
01:19:52,250 --> 01:19:55,879
The Ruskie talks big, but frankly
we think he's short of know-how.

1046
01:19:55,962 --> 01:20:00,425
You can't expect ignorant peons
to understand a machine like our boys.

1047
01:20:00,508 --> 01:20:02,969
That's not meant as an insult,
Mr. Ambassador.

1048
01:20:03,011 --> 01:20:05,597
We all know how much guts
the average Ruskie's got.

1049
01:20:05,680 --> 01:20:08,808
Look at all of them Nazis killed
off, and they still wouldn't quit!

1050
01:20:08,892 --> 01:20:10,810
Can't you stick to the point?

1051
01:20:10,852 --> 01:20:14,606
Well, sir,
if the pilot's good, see--

1052
01:20:14,648 --> 01:20:18,818
I mean, if he's really sharp,
he can barrel that baby in so low.

1053
01:20:18,902 --> 01:20:23,406
You oughta see it! It's a sight!
A big plane like a 52! Vroom!

1054
01:20:23,490 --> 01:20:26,534
Its jet exhaust fryin' chickens
in the barnyard!

1055
01:20:26,618 --> 01:20:29,746
- But has he got a chance?
- Has he got a chance?

1056
01:20:29,829 --> 01:20:31,247
Hell, ye--

1057
01:20:56,731 --> 01:20:58,191
Navigator to Captain.

1058
01:20:58,233 --> 01:21:02,779
Approaching target
at distance 1-0 miles.

1059
01:21:02,862 --> 01:21:06,157
Switch from green grid
to target orange.

1060
01:21:06,241 --> 01:21:09,327
Roger.
Ready for final bomb run check.

1061
01:21:09,411 --> 01:21:10,870
- Take over, Ace.
- Roger.

1062
01:21:16,126 --> 01:21:18,628
- D.S.O. ready.
- Bombardier ready, sir.

1063
01:21:18,712 --> 01:21:20,880
Bomb fusing, master safety on.

1064
01:21:20,964 --> 01:21:24,050

1072
01:21:45,572 --> 01:21:48,408
Bomb arming test lights on,
one through four.

1073
01:21:48,491 --> 01:21:51,202
Engage primary trigger switch override.

1074
01:21:51,244 --> 01:21:54,372
Primary trigger switch override engaged.

1075
01:21:54,456 --> 01:21:57,042
Track indicators
to maximum deflection.

1076
01:21:57,083 --> 01:21:59,544
Track indicators
to maximum deflection.

1077
01:21:59,586 --> 01:22:02,797
Detonator set to zero altitude.

1078
01:22:02,881 --> 01:22:05,634
Detonator set to zero altitude.

1079
01:22:05,717 --> 01:22:07,385
Release first safety.

1080
01:22:11,681 --> 01:22:13,600
First safety released.

1081
01:22:14,976 --> 01:22:18,396
- First safety.
- Release second safety.

1082
01:22:21,191 --> 01:22:23,151
Second safety released.

1083
01:22:24,569 --> 01:22:25,987
Second safety.

1084
01:22:33,536 --> 01:22:36,206
Check bomb door circuits
one through four.

1085
01:22:46,800 --> 01:22:50,220
Uh, bomb door circuits...

1086
01:22:50,303 --> 01:22:52,931
negative function, lights red.

1087
01:22:53,014 --> 01:22:55,600
-Switch in backup circuits.
- Roger.

1088
01:22:55,684 --> 01:22:59,646
Backup circuits switched in.
Still negative function.

1089
01:22:59,729 --> 01:23:01,481
Engage emergency power.

1090
01:23:01,564 --> 01:23:03,900
Roger.

1091
01:23:03,984 --> 01:23:06,319
Emergency power on.
Still negative function.

1092
01:23:08,363 --> 01:23:10,407
Operate manual override!

1093
01:23:11,992 --> 01:23:13,535
Roger.

1094
01:23:23,128 --> 01:23:25,588
Still negative function.

1095
01:23:25,672 --> 01:23:28,425
The Teleflex drive cable
must be sheared away.

1096
01:23:28,508 --> 01:23:32,637
- Fire the explosive bolts!
- Roger.

1097
01:23:47,193 --> 01:23:50,822
Still negative, sir.
The operating circuits are dead, sir.

1098
01:23:56,244 --> 01:24:00,206
Stay on the bomb run, Ace. I'm goin'
down below and see what I can do.

1099
01:24:13,136 --> 01:24:14,596
Stay on the bomb run.

1100
01:24:14,679 --> 01:24:18,850
I'm gonna get them doors open
if it harelips everybody on Bear Creek!

1101
01:25:12,445 --> 01:25:15,323
Target orange grid reference checks.

1102
01:25:15,407 --> 01:25:17,701
Target distance: eight miles.

1103
01:25:17,784 --> 01:25:19,869
Roger. Eight miles.

1104
01:25:19,953 --> 01:25:22,247

into orange grid.

1105
01:25:22,330 --> 01:25:24,791
Telemetric guidance computer
into orange grid.

1106
01:25:33,425 --> 01:25:35,969
Target distance: seven miles.

1107
01:25:36,052 --> 01:25:39,389
Correct track indicator:
minus seven.

1108
01:25:39,472 --> 01:25:43,059
Roger. Seven miles.
Check G.P.I. acceleration factor.

1109
01:25:43,143 --> 01:25:45,145
G.P.I. acceleration factor set.

1110
01:25:48,565 --> 01:25:51,026
Target distance: six miles.

1111
01:25:51,109 --> 01:25:55,739
Roger. Six miles.
Pulse ident transponder active.

1112
01:25:55,822 --> 01:25:57,365

1113
01:26:04,497 --> 01:26:07,500
Target distance: five miles.

1114
01:26:07,584 --> 01:26:11,546
Five miles. Homing alignment
factor to zero mode.

1115
01:26:11,629 --> 01:26:13,632
Homing alignment factor
to zero mode.

1116
01:26:17,218 --> 01:26:19,763
Target distance: four miles.

1117
01:26:19,846 --> 01:26:21,514
Roger. Four miles.

1118
01:26:21,598 --> 01:26:24,517
Auto C.D.C. into
manual Teleflex link.

1119
01:26:24,559 --> 01:26:27,145
Auto C.D.C. into

1120
01:26:37,405 --> 01:26:39,949
Target distance: three miles.

1121
01:26:40,033 --> 01:26:42,494
Roger. Three miles.

1122
01:26:42,577 --> 01:26:46,247
Target in sight!
Where in hell is Major Kong?

1123
01:27:10,021 --> 01:27:11,272
What about Major Kong?

1124
01:27:39,467 --> 01:27:43,179
Mr. President, I would not
rule out the chance...

1125
01:27:43,263 --> 01:27:46,308
to preserve a nucleus
of human specimens.

1126
01:27:46,391 --> 01:27:49,269
It would be quite easy...

1127
01:27:51,688 --> 01:27:56,735
at the bottom of some
of our deeper mine shafts.

1128
01:27:56,860 --> 01:28:01,698
The radioactivity would never penetrate
a mine some thousands of feet deep.

1129
01:28:01,781 --> 01:28:06,036
And in a matter of weeks, sufficient
improvements in dwelling space...

1130
01:28:06,119 --> 01:28:08,038
could easily be provided.

1131
01:28:08,121 --> 01:28:10,874
How long would you have
to stay down there?

1132
01:28:10,957 --> 01:28:14,794
Well, that's, you know--

1133
01:28:14,878 --> 01:28:17,547
Cobalt thorium G.

1134
01:28:27,807 --> 01:28:31,603
Radioactive half-life of--

1135
01:28:33,688 --> 01:28:38,401
I would think that possibly
one hundred years.

1136
01:28:40,779 --> 01:28:44,741
You mean, people could actually
stay down there for 100 years?

1137
01:28:44,824 --> 01:28:47,077
It would not be difficult,
Mein Fuhrer.

1138
01:28:47,160 --> 01:28:49,371
Nuclear reactors could--

1139
01:28:49,454 --> 01:28:51,790
I'm sorry, Mr. President.

1140
01:28:51,873 --> 01:28:55,669
Nuclear reactors could provide
power almost indefinitely.

1141
01:28:55,752 --> 01:28:58,588
Greenhouses could maintain
plant life.

1142
01:28:58,672 --> 01:29:02,258
Animals could be bred
and slaughtered.

1143
01:29:02,342 --> 01:29:06,763
A quick survey would have to be made of
the available mine sites in the country.

1144
01:29:06,846 --> 01:29:10,642
But I would guess
that a dwelling space...

1145
01:29:10,684 --> 01:29:14,354
for several hundred thousand of
our people could easily be provided.

1146
01:29:14,437 --> 01:29:17,565
Well, I would hate
to have to decide...

1147
01:29:17,649 --> 01:29:20,527
who stays up and who goes down.

1148
01:29:20,610 --> 01:29:24,531
Well, that would not be
necessary, Mr. President.

1149
01:29:24,572 --> 01:29:27,450
It could easily be accomplished
with a computer.

1150
01:29:27,534 --> 01:29:29,828
And the computer could
be set and programmed...

1151
01:29:29,869 --> 01:29:32,956
to accept factors
from youth, health...

1152
01:29:33,039 --> 01:29:36,167
sexual fertility, intelligence...

1153
01:29:36,251 --> 01:29:38,753
and a cross-section
of necessary skills.

1154
01:29:38,837 --> 01:29:41,089
Of course, it would be
absolutely vital...

1155
01:29:41,172 --> 01:29:45,135
that our top government
and military men be included...

1156
01:29:45,218 --> 01:29:50,015
to foster and impart the required
principles of leadership and tradition.

1157
01:29:56,062 --> 01:29:59,024
Naturally, they would breed
prodigiously.

1158
01:29:59,065 --> 01:30:01,860
There would be much time
and little to do.

1159
01:30:03,486 --> 01:30:08,408
But with the proper breeding techniques
and a ratio of, say...

1160
01:30:08,491 --> 01:30:11,244
ten females to each male...

1161
01:30:11,328 --> 01:30:15,957
they could then work their way back
to the present gross national product...

1162
01:30:16,041 --> 01:30:17,792
within 20 years.

1163
01:30:19,002 --> 01:30:21,713
But look, Doctor.
Wouldn't this nucleus of survivors...

1164
01:30:21,796 --> 01:30:26,885
be so grief-stricken
and anguished that they...

1165
01:30:26,968 --> 01:30:30,472
well, envy the dead
and not want to go on living?

1166
01:30:30,555 --> 01:30:33,391
No, sir. Excuse me.

1167
01:30:42,651 --> 01:30:46,613
When they go down into the mine,
everyone would still be alive.

1168
01:30:46,655 --> 01:30:48,740
There would be
no shocking memories...

1169
01:30:48,823 --> 01:30:53,495
and the prevailing emotion will be one
of nostalgia for those left behind...

1170
01:30:53,578 --> 01:30:56,456
combined with a spirit of...

1171
01:30:56,498 --> 01:30:58,958
bold curiosity for
the adventure ahead!

1172
01:31:16,476 --> 01:31:18,395
Doctor...

1173
01:31:20,605 --> 01:31:26,027
you mentioned the ratio
often women to each man.

1174
01:31:26,111 --> 01:31:29,239
Now, wouldn't that
necessitate the abandonment...

1175
01:31:29,322 --> 01:31:33,118
of the so-called
monogamous sexual relationship?

1176
01:31:33,159 --> 01:31:36,788
I mean, as far as men were concerned?

1177
01:31:36,871 --> 01:31:38,248
Regrettably, yes.

1178
01:31:38,331 --> 01:31:43,670
But it is a sacrifice required
for the future of the human race.

1179
01:31:43,753 --> 01:31:48,758
I hasten to add that since each man
will be required to do prodigious...

1180
01:31:50,510 --> 01:31:52,470
service along these lines...

1181
01:31:52,512 --> 01:31:56,308
the women will have to be selected
for their sexual characteristics...

1182
01:31:56,391 --> 01:32:00,145
which will have to be of
a highly stimulating nature.

1183
01:32:00,228 --> 01:32:04,065
I must confess, you have an
astonishingly good idea there, Doctor.

1184
01:32:05,233 --> 01:32:06,693
Thank you, sir.

1185
01:32:06,693 --> 01:32:09,696
We ought to look at this
from the military point of view.

1186
01:32:09,779 --> 01:32:13,700
I mean,
supposing the Ruskies...

1187
01:32:13,783 --> 01:32:16,703
stashed away some big bombs,
see, and we didn't?

1188
01:32:16,786 --> 01:32:19,706
When they come out in 1 00 years,
they could take over!

1189
01:32:19,748 --> 01:32:21,499
I agree, Mr. President.

1190
01:32:21,583 --> 01:32:25,170
They might try a sneak attack so they
could take over our mine shaft space.

1191
01:32:25,253 --> 01:32:29,883
It'd be extremely naive of us to
imagine that these new developments...

1192
01:32:29,966 --> 01:32:32,886
are gonna cause any change
in Soviet expansionist policy!

1193
01:32:32,969 --> 01:32:35,805
I mean, we must be
increasingly on the alert...

1194
01:32:35,889 --> 01:32:38,391
to prevent them from taking over
other mine shaft space...

1195
01:32:38,475 --> 01:32:40,393
in order to breed more
prodigiously than we do...

1196
01:32:40,477 --> 01:32:43,605
thus knocking us out through
superior numbers when we emerge!

1197
01:32:43,688 --> 01:32:47,776
Mr. President, we must not allow
a mine-shaft gap!

1198
01:32:47,859 --> 01:32:49,944
Sir!

1199
01:32:50,028 --> 01:32:52,280
I have a plan--

1200
01:32:53,823 --> 01:32:56,159
Mein Fuhrer...

1201
01:32:56,242 --> 01:32:58,828
I can walk!
