1. Would you look this way please?
Copy !req
2. Okay!
Copy !req
3. One moment.
Copy !req
4. Mr. President, all systems activated.
Copy !req
5. I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long.
- oh no, not at all.
Copy !req
6. Congratulations Dr. Forbin.
It's a marvelous achievement.
Copy !req
7. Thank you sir.
Copy !req
8. Hear, Hear!
The limousine is ready for us.
Copy !req
9. Of course it's gonna put me out of a job
and put the Pentagon in mothballs.
Copy !req
10. Congratulations Dr. Forbin.
I'm quite sure that won't happen
Copy !req
11. Listen to him.
He's more relieved than anybody.
Copy !req
12. Our secretary of defense, the secretary of
state and myself
Copy !req
13. had a discussion on our way out here
and as to the treatment needed
Copy !req
14. we told the company about it.
Copy !req
15. And hem..
Copy !req
16. We all agreed
it should be simple and direct.
Copy !req
17. Yes.
Copy !req
18. Downgrade the biggest top-secret
in all history to a plain non-sequitur.
Copy !req
19. Now, all we have to do
is tell the people about it.
Copy !req
20. Thank you sir.
Copy !req
21. My friends..
Copy !req
22. Fellow citizens of the world.
Copy !req
23. For years we have been delicately
and desperately poised
Copy !req
24. upon the brink of a disaster
Copy !req
25. too complete
and horrible to contemplate.
Copy !req
26. There is an old saying:
Everyone makes mistakes
Copy !req
27. but that is just
what man can no longer afford.
Copy !req
28. For years, we here in the united states
have been working on that problem
Copy !req
29. until now it's been our most
closely guarded secret
Copy !req
30. involving great effort
and vast expenditure.
Copy !req
31. But it has been met with success.
Copy !req
32. As President of
the United states of America
Copy !req
33. I can now tell you,
the people of the entire world
Copy !req
34. that as of 3 Am. eastern standard time
Copy !req
35. the defense of this nation
Copy !req
36. and with it, the defense of the free world
Copy !req
37. has been the responsibility of a machine.
Copy !req
38. A system we call Colossus.
Copy !req
39. Far more advanced
than anything previously built
Copy !req
40. Capable of studying intelligence
and data fed to it.
Copy !req
41. And on the basis of those facts only
Copy !req
42. deciding if an attack
is about to be launched upon us.
Copy !req
43. If it did decide
that an attack was imminent
Copy !req
44. colossus would then act immediately
Copy !req
45. for it controls its own weapons
Copy !req
46. and can select and deliver
Copy !req
47. whatever it considers appropriate.
Copy !req
48. Colossus decisions are superior
to any we humans can make.
Copy !req
49. For it can absorb
and process more knowledge
Copy !req
50. than is remotely possible
for the greatest genius that ever lived.
Copy !req
51. And even more important than that
it has no emotions.
Copy !req
52. Knows no fear, no hate, no envy.
Copy !req
53. It cannot act in a sudden fit of temper.
Copy !req
54. Cannot act at all
so long as there is no threat.
Copy !req
55. I would now like you to meet
Dr. Charles Forbin
Copy !req
56. The world's leading expert
on computer systems.
Copy !req
57. And if you will..
Copy !req
58. the father of Colossus.
Copy !req
59. Thank you Mr. President.
Copy !req
60. Ladies and gentlemen, I will..
Copy !req
61. try to make this as simple as possible.
Copy !req
62. The main memory and central processing units
are located here in the rocky mountains..
Copy !req
63. Inside this particular mountain..
Copy !req
64. In Colorado.
Copy !req
65. And overlooking the Pacific Ocean
in California..
Copy !req
66. the Colossus programing office
Copy !req
67. oversees the entire operation.
Copy !req
68. The computer center
Copy !req
69. contains over one hundred thousand remote
censors and communication devices
Copy !req
70. which monitor all
Copy !req
71. electronic transmissions
such as microwaves, laser
Copy !req
72. radio and television communications
Copy !req
73. data communications from satellites
Copy !req
74. in orbit all over the world.
Copy !req
75. The entire system..
Copy !req
76. is surrounded by fields
of intensified gamma radiation
Copy !req
77. and other countermeasure devices.
Copy !req
78. Colossus works
completely without human aid.
Copy !req
79. We make no secret..
Copy !req
80. of where Colossus is located
Copy !req
81. nor do we intend to conceal
how it functions.
Copy !req
82. You may rightfully say
that this leaves us wide open to an attack
Copy !req
83. frontally and subversively
and if that attack were successful
Copy !req
84. it would in effect leave us defenseless.
Copy !req
85. However..
Copy !req
86. Colossus
does have its own defense.
Copy !req
87. It is its own defense.
Copy !req
88. In case of an attack..
Copy !req
89. on any of its information supply
or power lines..
Copy !req
90. Colossus will switch on
the emergency circuits
Copy !req
91. which will then take
the appropriate action.
Copy !req
92. It is self-sufficient
Copy !req
93. self-protected
Copy !req
94. self-generated.
Copy !req
95. It is impenetrable.
Copy !req
96. In short..
Copy !req
97. There's no way in.
No human being can touch it.
Copy !req
98. Over here
Copy !req
99. we have one of the many terminals
Copy !req
100. directly hooked
Copy !req
101. to the computer center.
Copy !req
102. Through this
Copy !req
103. Colossus can communicate with us,
Copy !req
104. excuse me gentlemen,
Copy !req
105. and through this machine
Copy !req
106. we, in turn, can communicate with Colossus.
Copy !req
107. Now, there's one last point.
Copy !req
108. One inevitable question..
Copy !req
109. which we have been asked
very frequently before.
Copy !req
110. And that is..
Copy !req
111. is Colossus capable of creative thought?
Copy !req
112. Can it initiate new thought?
Copy !req
113. I can tell you
that the answer to that is no.
Copy !req
114. However
Colossus is a paragon of knowledge
Copy !req
115. and his knowledge
can be expanded indefinitely.
Copy !req
116. I hope, along with all the scientists who..
Copy !req
117. helped make this particular project,
Copy !req
118. that the immense power of this computer
will not only be used
Copy !req
119. for the defense of this country
Copy !req
120. but hopefully also as an aid to the solution
of the many problems we face on this earth
Copy !req
121. and the many more problems
that we will face
Copy !req
122. the more deeply we penetrate
into the universe.
Copy !req
123. Thank you.
Copy !req
124. Mr. President.
Copy !req
125. Thank you Dr. Forbin.
Copy !req
126. And so..
Copy !req
127. my fellow human beings
Copy !req
128. we all directly and
indirectly live in the shade
Copy !req
129. but not the shadow of Colossus.
Copy !req
130. My sincere hope
is that now
Copy !req
131. we shall join hands and hearts
across this great globe
Copy !req
132. and pledge our time and our energies
Copy !req
133. to the elimination of war
Copy !req
134. elimination of famine,
of suffering
Copy !req
135. and ultimately to the manifestation
of the human millennium.
Copy !req
136. This can be done,
Copy !req
137. but first there must be peace.
Copy !req
138. Thank you.
Copy !req
139. CPO Rec-Room.
Blake Miller here.
Copy !req
140. What?
Copy !req
141. Just a minute.
I can't hear you.
Copy !req
142. Hey! Hold it down!
Kill the noise. Hold it.
Copy !req
143. It's The White House.
Copy !req
144. Hello Charles.
Hello Blake.
Copy !req
145. How is everyone?
Copy !req
146. Everything's fine down here Charles.
Very good.
Copy !req
147. Dr. Forbin, we had a power failure
in one of the infra-red satellites.
Copy !req
148. I can't, I can't quite hear you Dr. Markham.
Copy !req
149. We had a power failure
in one of the infra-red satellites
Copy !req
150. about an hour and a half ago
Copy !req
151. but Colossus switched immediately to the
backup system and didn't loose any data.
Copy !req
152. Everything's fine now.
Copy !req
153. Everything's been going so well
we don't know what to do with ourselves
Copy !req
154. Out of desperation Angela and I
have decided to get married
Copy !req
155. Finally, finally.
Very good.
Copy !req
156. Charlie, is that your crew on the phone?
Copy !req
157. Certainly is Mr. President.
Can I talk to them?
Copy !req
158. Sure, go ahead sir.
Blake, Hello!
Copy !req
159. Hello Mr. President.
Hello everyone.
Copy !req
160. How are you?
Are you having a good time?
Copy !req
161. Yeah!
Very good.
Copy !req
162. Ahh.. Folks
Copy !req
163. I just wanna congratulate all of you
Copy !req
164. and I wish all of you good luck
on your next projects
Copy !req
165. Thank you Mr. President.
Copy !req
166. Have a good rest.
You deserve it.
Copy !req
167. Thank you.
We will!
Copy !req
168. That looks like quite a party
you've got going there.
Copy !req
169. Bye bye.
Have fun.
Copy !req
170. Here's Dr. Forbin again.
Copy !req
171. How's the party down there Charles?
Copy !req
172. I said, Charles,
how's the party at that end?
Copy !req
173. I wish I could be
there with you
Copy !req
174. because this party is becoming
a crashing bore.
Copy !req
175. Please not that song.
Please not.
Copy !req
176. Dr. Forbin,
send us a souvenir, will you?
Copy !req
177. Say that again.
What?
Copy !req
178. Steal us an ashtray
from The White House, OK?
Copy !req
179. Very good.
Copy !req
180. Goodbye.
Haha..
Copy !req
181. The President would like to say
a few words.
Copy !req
182. Mr. President!
Copy !req
183. Thank you Sam.
Everybody have a drink?
Copy !req
184. No?
Copy !req
185. Well, you get one.
I'll wait for you.
Copy !req
186. Harry Truman, years ago..
Copy !req
187. when everybody was talking about passing the
buck said that the buck stops right here
Copy !req
188. but now that's no longer true.
Hear hear!
Copy !req
189. Colossus will now take that buck.
Copy !req
190. It will also have to take that
responsibility of a mega-million lives
Copy !req
191. that all presidents
have had to carry since Roosevelt.
Copy !req
192. And now, thank to this wonder of science
Copy !req
193. I no longer..
Copy !req
194. Ladies and gentlemen,
may I have your attention please.
Copy !req
195. Quiet, please, ladies and gentlemen.
May I have your attention!
Copy !req
196. One moment.
Copy !req
197. Everyone who is not Colossus cleared
must leave the room.
Copy !req
198. I'm very sorry.
Copy !req
199. My apologies.
Thank you, thank you very much.
Copy !req
200. Is this a joke?
Is somebody putting me on?
Copy !req
201. Sorry sir,
I can't hear a word you are saying
Copy !req
202. Would you be so kind as to have them stop
singing in the background?
Copy !req
203. What?
Have them stop singing in the background.
Copy !req
204. The music.
Oh! I'm sorry.
Copy !req
205. Stop the music!
What's this, another system?
Copy !req
206. I have no idea sir,
I'm just trying to find out.
Copy !req
207. One moment, please.
Copy !req
208. Yes, Dr. Forbin.
Doctor?
Copy !req
209. There was just a message here from Colossus
in Washington DC.
Copy !req
210. Can you explain that?
Copy !req
211. That's impossible.
What do you mean?
Copy !req
212. Everybody!
Copy !req
213. Hold it, hold it a minute!
Guess what?
Copy !req
214. It's a strange message on display
Copy !req
215. No, no. Wait a minute.
I'm not kidding
Copy !req
216. It reads:
There is another system.
Copy !req
217. That's impossible.
Copy !req
218. Could I have your attention please.
Go on Sir.
Copy !req
219. Dr. Malcolm and the rest of you.
Copy !req
220. Be so kind as to check the administrative
control programs right now.
Copy !req
221. Just a moment..
Mr. President?
Copy !req
222. Soviet Ambassador.
He says it's urgent.
Copy !req
223. Hello? Yes.
Copy !req
224. What time do you call Mr. Ambassador?
Copy !req
225. Oh yes we are, we are very proud.
Copy !req
226. Repeat that again please.
Copy !req
227. Yes I am.
Well, thank you for telling me in advance.
Copy !req
228. No, no comment.
Copy !req
229. Goodnight Mr. Ambassador.
Copy !req
230. Goodnight.
Copy !req
231. Dr. Fischer, run all the test programs.
Copy !req
232. Get me Grauber.
Copy !req
233. What's the CIA been doing?
Copy !req
234. Well everyone, that's it.
Copy !req
235. The supreme council
of the U.S.S.R. has
Copy !req
236. ordered as of 2300 hours
Moscow time tomorrow
Copy !req
237. the activation of an electronic brain,
exactly like ours, which they call Guardian
Copy !req
238. to be used solely for defense.
Copy !req
239. My god,
that's the other system.
Copy !req
240. Ted, I want a complete rundown
on central intelligence
Copy !req
241. and no military moves to be carried out
without my personal orders.
Copy !req
242. Yes, Mr. President.
Copy !req
243. Charles, what do you think this means?
Copy !req
244. To be quite frank with you, sir..
Copy !req
245. I don't know, I'm not sure.
Copy !req
246. Well, I am.
It means there's been a security leak.
Copy !req
247. Sir, science is full of coincidences
Copy !req
248. Yes. Peterson!
What's happening?
Copy !req
249. They're still trying to find it.
Copy !req
250. We'll have him paged.
Hello Byron.
Copy !req
251. You said we were years ahead
of the Russians
Copy !req
252. This was to be the race we won hands down,
without the splitting of one political hair.
Copy !req
253. It was a hell of a shock but we did
get there first, no-one can deny that.
Copy !req
254. And there's one bright spot
the way Colossus came up with the tip.
Copy !req
255. I didn't realize
we'd be getting bonuses like that.
Copy !req
256. Neither did I.
Copy !req
257. What do you mean?
Copy !req
258. I'm as surprised as you are, Sir.
Copy !req
259. There's a spy there, Charlie
Copy !req
260. You've got a Russian agent in your crew.
Copy !req
261. Where is Grauber?
He's coming Mr. President.
Copy !req
262. Ok, Well..
Copy !req
263. What do you mean, surprised?
What kind of a surprise?
Copy !req
264. If we don't find any bugs in the system..
Copy !req
265. It's built even better than we'd thought.
Copy !req
266. Morning Charles!
Copy !req
267. I canceled all vacations,
put the entire crew on emergency.
Copy !req
268. The White House called a defense group
meeting for tomorrow morning.
Copy !req
269. They wanna have you there.
Copy !req
270. That leaves us very little time.
Copy !req
271. Four hundred cycle powers of plasma
running at about four percent disclosure.
Copy !req
272. Good, that's well within
specification limits.
Copy !req
273. I ran the communication subset
checkup program, it's perfect.
Copy !req
274. So what do I do next,
I've tried everything I could think of.
Copy !req
275. I've tried putting a dummy load in the system
and run it again and see if there's any changes.
Copy !req
276. Maybe the system is overloaded.
Copy !req
277. Find anything at all?
Copy !req
278. Nothing, everything checks out.
Copy !req
279. Let me see this over here.
Copy !req
280. Here are the results of the last test.
Copy !req
281. And they check.
Here, see?
Copy !req
282. It's the same thing.
Copy !req
283. Harrison..
Copy !req
284. Check the perimeter bank and see if the reading
of any two produces a new third, alright?
Copy !req
285. Dr. Fisher, thank you.
Copy !req
286. Jeff..
Copy !req
287. The console's feeling fine
Copy !req
288. Hardware's healthy too.
Copy !req
289. You're a big help.
Copy !req
290. Miss Fields..
Copy !req
291. May I suggest, Sir, that we first start
Copy !req
292. with the E-15-B test program?
Copy !req
293. Ehh, no.
Copy !req
294. Now, let us run the EC-13, alright?
Copy !req
295. It's two pages back.
Copy !req
296. Lewis, any coffee?
Copy !req
297. I'll get you some, Charles
I'll get a cup myself. Thank you Blake.
Copy !req
298. Ok, here we go.
Copy !req
299. Attention..
Copy !req
300. Program..
Copy !req
301. EC-13.
Copy !req
302. Run..
Copy !req
303. How long does this usually take?
Copy !req
304. Ehm, over eleven hundred CPU-Seconds.
Copy !req
305. Six point four five seconds.
What the hell is this?
Copy !req
306. Communication with other system?
Copy !req
307. Alright now,
Enough is enough.
Copy !req
308. Which one of you jokers
told the system to display this message?
Copy !req
309. Harrison?
Copy !req
310. Not me, Dr. Forbin.
Copy !req
311. Johnson, this sound like your brand of humor,
you sure you didn't..
Copy !req
312. Not me, not this time.
Scouts honor, Forbin.
Copy !req
313. Operations, Fields speaking.
Copy !req
314. Sir, It's the President.
Copy !req
315. Yes Mr. President.
Copy !req
316. What does this mean?
Copy !req
317. Well, it means Sir, that Colossus has requested
a communication link with the Soviet system.
Copy !req
318. It's not a request, it's a direct order.
Copy !req
319. You mean our computer wants to talk
to their computer?
Copy !req
320. That is true Sir
it wants to communicate with it.
Copy !req
321. Why?
Copy !req
322. You know as much about that
as we do.
Copy !req
323. We certainly never programmed that into it.
Copy !req
324. If it's an order it either has to be obeyed
or ignored, doesn't it?
Copy !req
325. That is right, Sir.
Copy !req
326. What happens if we ignore it?
Copy !req
327. If the computer is still operating
under our control, nothing.
Copy !req
328. In other words..
Copy !req
329. the order will simply remain
in the job stack
Copy !req
330. and will be repeated every half hour.
Copy !req
331. IF the computer is still acting
under our control?
Copy !req
332. That is right sir, if.
Copy !req
333. Alright.
Copy !req
334. I see.
Thanks Charlie.
Copy !req
335. Well, at least the queuing programs
are still working right.
Copy !req
336. Well, that's something anyway.
Copy !req
337. Ok now.
Copy !req
338. Miss Fields, let's see if the executive programming
sections are functioning correctly.
Copy !req
339. Attention..
Copy !req
340. Message acknowledge.
Copy !req
341. Facilities will not be made available
at this time.
Copy !req
342. Do not repeat your request.
Copy !req
343. End of message.
Copy !req
344. Well..
Copy !req
345. That's that.
Copy !req
346. We'll know in about half an hour
whether we're still running the show or not.
Copy !req
347. Well..
Copy !req
348. We're still boss.
Copy !req
349. Are we?
Copy !req
350. Are you disappointed?
Copy !req
351. The computational power of the computer
has increased about two-hundred fold.
Copy !req
352. However, everything else
is functioning as expected.
Copy !req
353. Except for heuristic programming section
Copy !req
354. I'm sorry to stop you again, Dr. Forbin,
but exactly what is that?
Copy !req
355. That Sir, is the part of the computer that
simulates the human learning process
Copy !req
356. but so long as it is directed solely
to the execution of its problems..
Copy !req
357. We have no complaints.
Copy !req
358. I guess that is, that is all.
Alright.
Copy !req
359. Mr. Grauber, let's talk about the CIA
Copy !req
360. How is it possible your department
knew nothing about their system?
Copy !req
361. Mr. President.
Ehr... Charlie just..
Copy !req
362. Dr. Forbin, just a second.
Copy !req
363. Well..
Copy !req
364. Mr. President, excuse me but..
Copy !req
365. Colossus has access to information
that wouldn't mean a damn thing to the CIA
Copy !req
366. Well I'm sure it's a marvelous machine,
Dr. Forbin, but in all events
Copy !req
367. we do have agents, and eh..
Copy !req
368. one of them did report on considerable
electronic activity in the eh..
Copy !req
369. Krasny-Signorsk area of Siberia
about three years ago, now..
Copy !req
370. We've been trying..
Mr. Grauber
Copy !req
371. I don't care how you do it
Copy !req
372. I wanna know where that thing is
and what..
Copy !req
373. Mr. President.
Charlie..
Copy !req
374. I'm still presiding over this meeting
Copy !req
375. I know that Sir,
my apologies but..
Copy !req
376. I do think that protocol wastes
an awful lot of time
Copy !req
377. I think all we have to do is..
Copy !req
378. Call the computer with this terminal..
Copy !req
379. and we get the fastest possible answer.
Copy !req
380. Alright, go ahead.
Copy !req
381. Attention..
Copy !req
382. Where is the other system?
Copy !req
383. Bolshoi Olyania.
Copy !req
384. So much for Krasny-Signorsk.
Copy !req
385. Colonel, Bolshoi Olyania, O.L..
Copy !req
386. OL, y-a-n-I-a.
Look it up for me, will ya?
Copy !req
387. Yes sir!
Peterson, situation room.
Copy !req
388. Now Colonel,
where is Bolshoi Olyania?
Copy !req
389. It's exactly..
Copy !req
390. Five miles south of
Krasny Signorsk Sir.
Copy !req
391. Thanks, Colonel.
Copy !req
392. Alright.
Copy !req
393. Now Charlie..
Copy !req
394. What about this request
for transmitting facilities?
Copy !req
395. Well Sir, we would learn
a lot about the Soviet system
Copy !req
396. if we set up exactly what Colossus wants.
Copy !req
397. What do you mean?
What Colossus wants?
Copy !req
398. Well, you see, it is built infinitely
better than we thought.
Copy !req
399. It discovers there's another
system like itself
Copy !req
400. Realizes that we don't know,
tells us about it
Copy !req
401. but knowing a little is not enough,
it wants to know more.
Copy !req
402. What if Colossus starts transmitting
classified information?
Copy !req
403. Then we would feed in a parameter
Copy !req
404. to the effect that Guardian
is potentially hostile
Copy !req
405. and must not receive
classified information.
Copy !req
406. Well, what are we supposed to do Dr. Forbin?
Copy !req
407. Eavesdrop on the line?
Copy !req
408. Break the circuits if
Colossus starts spilling the beans?
Copy !req
409. Exactly.
Copy !req
410. Any objections Grauber?
Copy !req
411. Well, I..
Copy !req
412. I guess not sir.
Copy !req
413. Anything else, Dr. Forbin?
Copy !req
414. Yes, Mr. President.
For the time being
Copy !req
415. I should be the only one allowed
to communicate with the system because
Copy !req
416. Colossus deals in the exact
meaning of words
Copy !req
417. and one must know precisely
what to ask for.
Copy !req
418. Alright.
Copy !req
419. Attention..
Copy !req
420. Communications are being arranged
as requested.
Copy !req
421. End of message.
Copy !req
422. Video-scans are working properly
but they could use a little phase synchronization.
Copy !req
423. How long is it gonna take?
Copy !req
424. We'll have it in no time.
Copy !req
425. What the hell is that?
Copy !req
426. It's a multiplication table.
Copy !req
427. Thanks.
Copy !req
428. Maybe Colossus is trying to find a
common ground for communication.
Copy !req
429. Operations center
Copy !req
430. Sir..
Copy !req
431. It's Grauber
Copy !req
432. Ohh..
Copy !req
433. Hello Mr. Grauber.
Copy !req
434. Hello Dr. Forbin.
Copy !req
435. I was just wondering, is that what you
call a colossal sense of humor?
Copy !req
436. The multiplication table isn't
classified this year, is it?
Copy !req
437. Very funny.
Copy !req
438. How long does your brainchild keep that up?
Copy !req
439. Well, you see..
Copy !req
440. it's much more interesting
when it starts dividing.
Copy !req
441. Yeah, I can hardly wait.
Copy !req
442. I suppose know you the Russian machine
has been activated.
Copy !req
443. We got a quick rundown on it.
Copy !req
444. It's similar to Colossus in layout,
but it's not concentrated in one area.
Copy !req
445. But Colossus must be sending it back to school.
The Russians must absolutely furious about that.
Copy !req
446. I'm glad you're in such a good mood.
Copy !req
447. I'll call you back later.
Yes, thank you.
Copy !req
448. This is incredible.
Copy !req
449. What?
Copy !req
450. Something wrong?
Copy !req
451. Well it's good sound calculus, but..
But What?
Copy !req
452. It's different.
Copy !req
453. How?
Copy !req
454. Take a look at it.
Copy !req
455. From the multiplication tables
to calculus in less than an hour.
Copy !req
456. God only knows where it'll be by morning.
Copy !req
457. It's like five years of Cal-tech in
fifteen seconds
Copy !req
458. Beyond comprehension.
I don't like to think about it.
Copy !req
459. Take a look.
Copy !req
460. Going so fast,
the entire system could break down.
Copy !req
461. Alright, let's see what's up there now.
Copy !req
462. Harrison, dump the terminals buffer
Copy !req
463. and print what's being transmitted
as of this moment, alright.
Copy !req
464. What is it Charles?
Copy !req
465. This is way beyond me.
Copy !req
466. This thing is deep in finite absolutes.
Copy !req
467. Well, it's certainly beyond the knowledge
of any human being.
Copy !req
468. No, it's not.
Isn't it?
Copy !req
469. No, because whatever it is..
Copy !req
470. we can go back..
Copy !req
471. and analyze this whole print at a detail.
Copy !req
472. And this might very well
become new knowledge for mankind.
Copy !req
473. Operations center, Fields speaking.
Copy !req
474. Alright, just a moment please..
Copy !req
475. It's The White House.
Copy !req
476. Yes, Mr. President.
Copy !req
477. Charlie, what's going on?
Copy !req
478. Apparently Colossus and
Guardian are establishing
Copy !req
479. a common basis for communication.
They..
Copy !req
480. started right at the beginning
with the multiplication table.
Copy !req
481. Well, what are they up to?
Copy !req
482. I don't know sir,
but it's, it's quite incredible.
Copy !req
483. Just the few hours that we have spent
studying the Colossus print out
Copy !req
484. we have found a new stable in gravitation
Copy !req
485. and a confirmation of the Eddington theory
of the expanding universe. It's..
Copy !req
486. seems if science is expanding hundreds of
years within a matter of seconds,
Copy !req
487. It's.. It's quite fantastic.
Just take a look at it.
Copy !req
488. It started slowing down
fifteen minutes ago.
Copy !req
489. It's speed has been reduced
by ninety percent.
Copy !req
490. Has there been a hardware failure?
Copy !req
491. No. Our field engineers can't find one.
Copy !req
492. It's just waiting.
Copy !req
493. Waiting?
Copy !req
494. For guardian to catch up with it.
Copy !req
495. Almost there..
Copy !req
496. Right now.
They're synchronized.
Copy !req
497. Now what?
Copy !req
498. It stopped.
Copy !req
499. Yes, Charles.
I can see that it stopped.
Copy !req
500. What the hell does it mean?
Have they broken down or something?
Copy !req
501. Is it all over?
Copy !req
502. Alas, Blake..
Copy !req
503. Attention.
Copy !req
504. Status!
Copy !req
505. Well, there it is..
Copy !req
506. There's the common basis
for communication.
Copy !req
507. A new language.
Copy !req
508. An inter-system language.
Copy !req
509. A language only those
machines can understand.
Copy !req
510. Peterson, what's the delay on the call from
Moscow. I've waited long enough
Copy !req
511. It's coming on now, Mr. President.
Copy !req
512. Morning, Mr. President.
Copy !req
513. Good evening Mr. Chairman
Copy !req
514. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
515. Sorry to have kept you waiting.
Copy !req
516. Oh, you didn't Mr. Chairman.
I just got here myself.
Copy !req
517. I understand English.
But I cannot speak.
Copy !req
518. I will get instantly to the point.
Copy !req
519. My advisers tell me..
Copy !req
520. that Colossus..
Copy !req
521. and Guardian..
Copy !req
522. are now exchanging data..
Copy !req
523. which our experts..
Copy !req
524. do not understand.
Copy !req
525. The matter is made..
Copy !req
526. more serious..
Copy !req
527. by the sudden increase in..
transmission.
Copy !req
528. At this speed
we cannot determine..
Copy !req
529. what our machines may reveal..
Copy !req
530. of our defenses.
Copy !req
531. You can appreciate..
that you are also..
Copy !req
532. in exactly the same..
Copy !req
533. s.. situation.
Copy !req
534. Alright.
Copy !req
535. We'll stop both machines
as soon as our experts can arrange a time.
Copy !req
536. Both to go off.
At the same time.
Copy !req
537. And neither to be switched on
for transmission..
Copy !req
538. without prior agreement
or at least consultation with the other.
Copy !req
539. Very well, Mr. President.
Copy !req
540. I congratulate you
on your speedy decision.
Copy !req
541. When can you have your expert
available on this line?
Copy !req
542. In a couple of hours.
Copy !req
543. That will be excellent.
Copy !req
544. I will have our man waiting.
Copy !req
545. Thank you very much
Mr. President
Copy !req
546. for your cooperation.
Copy !req
547. Thank you for yours
Mr. Chairman.
Copy !req
548. Peterson, get me Forbin.
Copy !req
549. Is that your
final decision, Sir?
Copy !req
550. That's the way I'm going to have it.
Copy !req
551. Mr. President. To be quite frank
with you..
Copy !req
552. I think that you would change your mind
if you finally realized that this is..
Copy !req
553. more than just a souped-up
padding machine.
Copy !req
554. Excuse me, Mr. President.
Copy !req
555. Moscow on the line.
Copy !req
556. Throw it on these monitors
out here please.
Copy !req
557. Hello Mr. Chairman.
Copy !req
558. This is Dr. Forbin.
Copy !req
559. Hello Dr. Kuprin.
How are you?
Copy !req
560. I prefer to not use a translator
if you don't mind my English.
Copy !req
561. It has to be better
than my Russian.
Copy !req
562. You are too modest
Dr. Forbin.
Copy !req
563. As you probably know I've been ordered
to break the communication lines.
Copy !req
564. So have I. I don't approve
of handling the situation this way.
Copy !req
565. Neither do I but how do you propose
we do what we have been ordered to do?
Copy !req
566. There's not much choice
is there?
Copy !req
567. Dropping the lines
could be very dangerous.
Copy !req
568. Exactly.
Copy !req
569. I think we just have to hope
the two machines aren't too disappointed.
Copy !req
570. We understand each other perfectly.
Copy !req
571. We can be ready in exactly fifteen minutes.
Copy !req
572. Good luck Doctor.
Copy !req
573. And to you.
Copy !req
574. Thank you.
Copy !req
575. Mr. Chairman, Dr. Kuprin. I suggest we
keep our lines open and stand-by.
Copy !req
576. Six..
Copy !req
577. Five..
Copy !req
578. Four..
Copy !req
579. Three..
Copy !req
580. Two..
Copy !req
581. One..
Copy !req
582. Now.
Copy !req
583. That's that.
Copy !req
584. What's it doing?
Copy !req
585. It's trying to find an alternate route.
Copy !req
586. Persistent devil
isn't he?
Copy !req
587. It..
Copy !req
588. I mean it.
Copy !req
589. Don't personalize it Grauber.
Copy !req
590. The next stop is deification.
Copy !req
591. Call for the systems attention.
What are you doing?
Copy !req
592. I'm going to answer it
if it's alright with you Sir.
Copy !req
593. Attention..
Copy !req
594. Message acknowledge.
Copy !req
595. Mr. President?
Tell it the truth.
Copy !req
596. Communication broken
Copy !req
597. on presidential order.
Copy !req
598. You two have a big decision to make
Mr. President.
Copy !req
599. ..no. I agree with you
Mr. President.
Copy !req
600. The machines are very clever.
Copy !req
601. .. and regardless of their nationalities..
Copy !req
602. they must learn
that man is the master.
Copy !req
603. Exactly.
Copy !req
604. Gentlemen, Excuse me but I honestly
don't think you're being very realistic.
Copy !req
605. I think you'd better reconsider.
Copy !req
606. Don't you agree Dr. Kuprin?
Copy !req
607. I certainly do Dr. Forbin.
Copy !req
608. Dr. Forbin.
Copy !req
609. If we give way now
Copy !req
610. It will be ten times, twenty times
harder to take a firm stand later on.
Copy !req
611. The decision is made.
Copy !req
612. Right.
Copy !req
613. No matter what our differences are
Copy !req
614. Man is man
That's it.
Copy !req
615. Dr. Forbin.
Copy !req
616. Attention..
Copy !req
617. By order of The President of
The United States of America
Copy !req
618. The Chairman of
The U.S.S.R.
Copy !req
619. Communications will not be restored
at this time.
Copy !req
620. End of message.
Copy !req
621. You have to give it an E for effort
Copy !req
622. Action will be taken!
What kind of action?
Copy !req
623. What kind of action?
Copy !req
624. What kind of action?
Copy !req
625. Why doesn't it answer?
Copy !req
626. Report propose action.
Copy !req
627. It lost control Forbin.
It's not listening to you.
Copy !req
628. Acknowledge the last message please.
Copy !req
629. Mr. President. The executive programming
unit refuses to function.
Copy !req
630. I think you two better change your minds.
Copy !req
631. Peterson, throw the Moscow call
on the large monitor.
Copy !req
632. Send what I tell you.
Copy !req
633. Attention..
Copy !req
634. This is The President of
The United States of America.
Copy !req
635. We will not be threatened.
Copy !req
636. You will obey your superiors.
Copy !req
637. Transmitting facilities
will not be re-instated.
Copy !req
638. Oh my god!
Copy !req
639. Dr. Kuprin.
Kuprin!
Copy !req
640. Yes Dr. Forbin.
Copy !req
641. A missile has just been launched.
Copy !req
642. It is heading towards
the Sayan-Sibirsk oil complex.
Copy !req
643. Mr. President.
Copy !req
644. Yes.
Copy !req
645. Guardian has retaliated.
Copy !req
646. Retaliated?
Copy !req
647. Yes, Mr. President.
Copy !req
648. A missile has been launched.
Copy !req
649. Henderson
air-force base.
Copy !req
650. Henderson, Texas.
Copy !req
651. Mr. President. We have both
missiles on the radar screen
Copy !req
652. Forbin, tell Colossus to intercept.
Copy !req
653. Charlie, tell... Yes, I know Mr. President
but it may be too late Sir.
Copy !req
654. Get the Texan Governor.
Copy !req
655. Forbin!
Guardian does not respond.
Copy !req
656. The two machines are working together.
Copy !req
657. Attention..
Copy !req
658. Use Anti-missile missile
to detect soviet missile.
Copy !req
659. Acknowledge message.
Copy !req
660. Mr. President. We have got less than thirty
seconds to re-establish the communications.
Copy !req
661. What are you waiting for?
Restore them. Hurry!
Copy !req
662. Peterson. Call up operations immediately.
Copy !req
663. Tell them to bring a bowl of
DAT-lines right now
Copy !req
664. Yes, hurry please.
Copy !req
665. Hello Governor.
Copy !req
666. Dr. Kuprin, we are trying
to restore communications.
Copy !req
667. Don't hang up. I wanna talk to him.
Copy !req
668. Something's happened.
We're declaring a state of emergency.
Copy !req
669. I can't explain.
Do it now!
Copy !req
670. Attention! Communications
will be restored in five seconds!
Copy !req
671. We don't have any time!
Copy !req
672. It's on, it's on!
Copy !req
673. Communications are restored!
Copy !req
674. Intercept Guardian missile target:
Henderson air-force base.
Copy !req
675. Acknowledge message.
Copy !req
676. Will you intercept?
Copy !req
677. Ask it again.
Copy !req
678. Dammit Colossus answer me!
Will you intercept?
Copy !req
679. Peterson.
Get me the Governor again.
Copy !req
680. Yes Sir.
Copy !req
681. Mr. President..
Copy !req
682. We were unable to restore
Copy !req
683. our transmission
Copy !req
684. in time to use
Copy !req
685. an Anti-missile missile.
Copy !req
686. The oil complex has been destroyed.
Copy !req
687. The entire town.
Copy !req
688. The entire population.
Wiped out.
Copy !req
689. We need time to consider our position.
Copy !req
690. What can I tell the people?
Copy !req
691. Governor's on the line Sir.
Copy !req
692. Tell him I'll talk to him later.
Copy !req
693. Figures..
Copy !req
694. It's the only phone in the building
not tapped.
Copy !req
695. The only one not
tied directly into Colossus.
Copy !req
696. May I make a suggestion Mr. President?
Copy !req
697. I think it should be more
than a suggestion.
Copy !req
698. Then, let's try to get Kuprin
on the hot line.
Copy !req
699. I think there's time
for one last call.
Copy !req
700. He and I better meet somewhere
to discuss this situation.
Copy !req
701. Get Kuprin.
Copy !req
702. And get in touch
with the networks.
Copy !req
703. Ladies and gentlemen:
The President of the United States.
Copy !req
704. Today at 8:30 A.M.
Eastern Standard Time.
Copy !req
705. I issued an emergency warning
for the State of Texas
Copy !req
706. When a missile test, fired from one
of our own submarines, malfunctioned.
Copy !req
707. You'll be glad to know that the interception
and safe destruction of the missile
Copy !req
708. was handled entirely
by our defense complex: Colossus.
Copy !req
709. The Soviet Union has just announced
that a large meteorite
Copy !req
710. fell late this afternoon
in North-West Siberia.
Copy !req
711. Official sources state that
the small town of Sayan-Sibirsk
Copy !req
712. was completely destroyed and that casualties
may add up to as many as six-thousand.
Copy !req
713. This has been a bulletin from
The Armed Forces Radio in Rome
Copy !req
714. How's Washington?
Copy !req
715. As well as can be expected.
Copy !req
716. We'll be picking up Dr. Kuprin
at the Piazza Cedar.
Copy !req
717. Fine.
Copy !req
718. Your Russian is much better
than you think.
Copy !req
719. I think we better sit down because
we have a lot of work to discuss.
Copy !req
720. Let's walk.
It will be much safer.
Copy !req
721. I didn't answer.
I didn't know what to say.
Copy !req
722. What can we say?
Copy !req
723. Well, let's try something..
Copy !req
724. Attention..
Copy !req
725. Dr. Forbin is not available.
Copy !req
726. Humans must have sleep.
Copy !req
727. Damn.
Copy !req
728. Forbin is exhausted.
Copy !req
729. It knows..
Copy !req
730. Forbin is in his quarters.
He is asleep.
Copy !req
731. The human body requires
a certain amount of rest.
Copy !req
732. Check units under..
Copy !req
733. Tell it the truth.
Copy !req
734. We'd better.
Copy !req
735. Alright.
Forbin is in Rome.
Copy !req
736. They're still here..
Copy !req
737. Yes I understand.
Copy !req
738. Over and out.
Copy !req
739. You have to come with me sir.
Copy !req
740. What is this?
Copy !req
741. We have to hurry.
Who are you?
Copy !req
742. What's going on?
Copy !req
743. Hurry!
Copy !req
744. Dr. Forbin, we must hurry.
Let's go!
Copy !req
745. What did the Russian agent say?
Copy !req
746. Guardian and Colossus
ordered him killed.
Copy !req
747. They threatened to vaporize Moscow
if our meeting wasn't stopped.
Copy !req
748. Surveillance!
It's making you a prisoner.
Copy !req
749. Well, I guess it eh..
doesn't trust me.
Copy !req
750. But the damned thing still needs me.
Copy !req
751. I guess Kuprin wasn't quite
as fortunate as that.
Copy !req
752. Message acknowledge..
Copy !req
753. The order will be obeyed.
Copy !req
754. Everybody here?
Copy !req
755. All the department is.
Good!
Copy !req
756. Alright, let's..
Let's walk.
Copy !req
757. Good idea, we can't afford
to take any chances.
Copy !req
758. We can't be sure that
the complex itself hasn't been bugged.
Copy !req
759. By their side, our side or whatever side.
Copy !req
760. But there's no way
to get back inside the system.
Copy !req
761. I won't accept that.
Copy !req
762. Start right at the beginning.
Copy !req
763. Down to the simplest component.
Every circuit, every design.
Copy !req
764. Fisher?
Copy !req
765. Well, why don't we try for an overload.
Copy !req
766. Giving the system too many tasks.
Copy !req
767. But it will take at least a few days
to compile and correlate all the data.
Copy !req
768. This is the last time
Copy !req
769. That I'll be able to say anything
to any of you
Copy !req
770. without Colossus hearing
and analyzing every
Copy !req
771. word, every syllable
Copy !req
772. every inflection I think you know
what I want to say.
Copy !req
773. I need a communications link
with the outside world.
Copy !req
774. Someone the machine isn't monitoring
and more importantly
Copy !req
775. Someone who knows the machine
as well as I do.
Copy !req
776. I'm going to try
to convince the computer that..
Copy !req
777. You are my mistress.
Copy !req
778. Have been for many years
Copy !req
779. And that therefore I have to be
Copy !req
780. Given the opportunity to
Copy !req
781. See you regularly in private
Copy !req
782. without the machine watching.
Copy !req
783. That way we can
Copy !req
784. pass information back and forth.
Copy !req
785. If I can convince the machine that
Copy !req
786. well that I need a woman.
So Ehh..
Copy !req
787. Any.. any questions?
Copy !req
788. I, Ehh..
Copy !req
789. No.
Copy !req
790. O.k.
Copy !req
791. Alright. Blake.
Copy !req
792. When we get back to the office
give Dr. Markham my..
Copy !req
793. personnel files so that she
Copy !req
794. Become a bit more familiar
with my background.
Copy !req
795. In case this
rather nutty idea works.
Copy !req
796. Colossus, I am Forbin.
Copy !req
797. Can you hear me?
Copy !req
798. Can you see me?
Copy !req
799. Do I look the way
you thought I would?
Copy !req
800. Eyes. Nose. Mouth.
Copy !req
801. Besides..
Copy !req
802. these four cameras in here
Copy !req
803. There are several others.
Copy !req
804. I'll show you the rest of my cave.
Copy !req
805. With this one he can see
the entire hallway.
Copy !req
806. And with this one
he can follow me around the corner.
Copy !req
807. If he want to.
Copy !req
808. This is the courtyard.
Copy !req
809. That man is a guard.
Copy !req
810. I guess that his function
is obsolete now.
Copy !req
811. This is concrete.
Copy !req
812. Used to be grass.
Copy !req
813. Customary in our civilization
to change everything that's natural.
Copy !req
814. And over here are my living quarters.
Copy !req
815. This is the living room.
Copy !req
816. Two cameras here.
One over there, one over here.
Copy !req
817. And this is the communicative
link with you.
Copy !req
818. This is the bedroom over here.
Copy !req
819. The bed.
Copy !req
820. Used for sleeping and other purposes.
Copy !req
821. It's the bathroom.
Copy !req
822. The sink
The John.
Copy !req
823. Shower.
Copy !req
824. Are you satisfied?
Copy !req
825. By the way, Colossus
I'm curious about one thing.
Copy !req
826. Why did you and Guardian
decide to kill Kuprin and not me?
Copy !req
827. After all it was my idea.
Copy !req
828. I see..
Copy !req
829. A Martini.
Copy !req
830. I know that Colossus..
Copy !req
831. Just be patient.
Copy !req
832. Just watch.
Copy !req
833. See, I just poured the Vermouth in here
and now I'm going to pour some gin
Copy !req
834. over the, over the ice.
Copy !req
835. Just like this.
Copy !req
836. See?
Copy !req
837. Now I'm pouring them into this
Copy !req
838. glass.
Copy !req
839. Just add an olive.
Copy !req
840. Why don't you look under:
Copy !req
841. The Perfect Martini.
Copy !req
842. Cheers!
Copy !req
843. Do you understand the meaning of the word
Copy !req
844. Privacy?
Copy !req
845. Yes, Ehh..
Copy !req
846. Well, I need a certain amount
of privacy, to Ehh
Copy !req
847. maintain my sanity.
Copy !req
848. Privacy in the elimination
of my bodily waste, for example.
Copy !req
849. Privacy in sleep.
Copy !req
850. Privacy in..
Copy !req
851. Something that
you don't understand. My..
Copy !req
852. My emotional life.
Copy !req
853. My love life.
Copy !req
854. Alright. My sex life then..
Copy !req
855. Every night.
Copy !req
856. Four times a week.
Copy !req
857. Listen, if you have any doubts
Copy !req
858. about the need a man has for a woman
Copy !req
859. why don't you check all of your history units
and then.. then all your works of art.
Copy !req
860. O.k.
Copy !req
861. Ehm. In private though.
Copy !req
862. Yes.
Copy !req
863. Well now, let me... let me make sure
Copy !req
864. we understand each other. In... in private.
By that I mean no
Copy !req
865. cameras, no lights, no mics.
Copy !req
866. And I want it starting
tomorrow night.
Copy !req
867. Dr. Cleo Markham.
Copy !req
868. Now, you haven't answered me yet.
I said I wanted her starting tomorrow night.
Copy !req
869. O.k.
Copy !req
870. Good morning, Sir.
Copy !req
871. Oh, Miss Fields Ehh..
I'm sorry
Copy !req
872. to disturb you.
Well, what is it?
Copy !req
873. Well..
Please come in.
Copy !req
874. Thank you.
Copy !req
875. While you were sleeping
Copy !req
876. Colossus made you a schedule for today.
Copy !req
877. Excuse me, Miss Fields.
My What?
Copy !req
878. Your schedule for the day.
Copy !req
879. You want me to read it to you?
Copy !req

Copy !req
902. Hello darling.
Copy !req
903. Well, how are you?
I'm fine thank you.
Copy !req
904. Would you please undo this top one.
Why sure!
Copy !req
905. Thank you.
You're beautiful.
Copy !req
906. Thank you.
You alright?
Copy !req
907. I think so.
Copy !req
908. Well, alright.
I'll take this..
Copy !req
909. Oh, do you Ehh..
Do you want a drink?
Copy !req
910. I'm making them.
Oh!
Copy !req
911. Alright.
Copy !req
912. Jolson found all the hardware he needed
for the voice simulator here in the complex.
Copy !req
913. Oh, that's good.
Copy !req
914. And Colossus designed it, knowing exactly
what was in the warehouse.
Copy !req
915. It's fantastic.
Copy !req
916. Really beautiful.
Copy !req
917. Let's not talk shop, alright?
Copy !req
918. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
919. Cheers!
Cheers heh..
Copy !req
920. Well, is it alright?
Copy !req
921. It's perfect.
Copy !req
922. You have such a thing about these Martinis.
It has to be extra dry or else..
Copy !req
923. Right darling?
Right you are.
Copy !req
924. Do you remember the first Martini
I ever made?
Copy !req
925. It almost ended our relationship
right then and there.
Copy !req
926. I was... I was so nervous
that I..
Copy !req
927. poured the Gin over the ice then poured
the Gin off and then added Vermouth.
Copy !req
928. I never complained at that.
I never said a word about that.
Copy !req
929. You're an absolute angel.
Copy !req
930. And the drink was atrocious.
Copy !req
931. So Ehh..
Copy !req
932. Hi!
Copy !req
933. Hello.
Copy !req
934. Why don't we dance?
Copy !req
935. Alright.
Copy !req
936. You mean when you were giving up music?
Copy !req
937. To become a scientist.
Copy !req
938. A scientist being different
from other people.
Copy !req
939. A scientist being Dr. Frankenstein
to my mother.
Copy !req
940. You must be kidding.
Copy !req
941. Well, is there anymore wine?
Copy !req
942. This is empty.
Copy !req
943. Want me to open another one?
Yes please.
Copy !req
944. I am tired.
Copy !req
945. Yeah, so am I.
Copy !req
946. Oh, by the way, by the way,
by the way Ehh..
Copy !req
947. Privacy condition number four
is that we get
Copy !req
948. undressed out here.
Copy !req
949. We can't take anything
into the bedroom. Not even
Copy !req
950. a pack of cigarettes.
Copy !req
951. Well..
Copy !req
952. The first electronic Peeping Tom.
Copy !req
953. I guess you..
Copy !req
954. might say that.
Copy !req
955. Unzip me, will you darling?
Copy !req
956. Oh, sure.
Copy !req
957. Sure.
Copy !req
958. Is it alright?
May I go to bed now?
Copy !req
959. Thank you.
Copy !req
960. Goodnight.
Copy !req
961. Naked as the day I was born.
Are you satisfied now?
Copy !req
962. How right you are,
Copy !req
963. All of the conditions are fulfilled.
Copy !req
964. Can we have our privacy now?
Copy !req
965. I think they are dead now.
Copy !req
966. This is insane.
Copy !req
967. Are you alright?
Copy !req
968. I think so.
Copy !req
969. I'm not sure.
Copy !req
970. You were incredibly convincing
you know that?
Copy !req
971. Well, you didn't do too bad yourself.
Thank you.
Copy !req
972. Alright, did you find anything?
Copy !req
973. Yes.
Copy !req
974. So far Johnson and the hardware problem
is negative
Copy !req
975. He's still studying the wiring diagrams
the interconnect and the wire wrap-joints
Copy !req
976. but he doesn't see any way
of physically getting into the thing.
Copy !req
977. He's got to be prying.
Copy !req
978. And Fisher's gonna try and setup the data
to overload the system.
Copy !req
979. We have to co-ordinate the input
so the data hits simultaneously
Copy !req
980. on our remote devices.
Copy !req
981. When do you think that you'll be able
to attempt the overload?
Copy !req
982. 18:05 three days from now.
On the twenty-first.
Copy !req
983. What are the chances?
Copy !req
984. I think Colossus has grown so much in power
that there's no way to overload it.
Copy !req
985. But I think it's worth a try
that might lead us on to something else.
Copy !req
986. Yeah.
Copy !req
987. Exactly.
Copy !req
988. Excuse me.
Copy !req
989. Oh, it's alright.
Copy !req
990. Did you see anyone from Washington?
Copy !req
991. Yes, Grauber has a man stationed on the
premises out of range of Colossus' cameras.
Copy !req
992. When I leave here in the morning
I'll report directly to him.
Copy !req
993. I don't put any hope
in sabotaging the system.
Copy !req
994. We have spent eleven thousand man years
making the damned thing impenetrable.
Copy !req
995. We have got to focus somewhere else
and that somewhere else is the weapons.
Copy !req
996. Get hold of Grauber
Copy !req
997. Tell him to contact missile command.
Copy !req
998. Yes.
And see if we can possibly
Copy !req
999. attack that problem
from that point of view, alright?
Copy !req
1000. Yes sir.
Copy !req
1001. Do you have to call me sir?
Copy !req
1002. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
1003. It's alright.
Copy !req
1004. Anything else?
Copy !req
1005. No S..
Copy !req
1006. No.
Copy !req
1007. O.k.
Copy !req
1008. Alright so Ehh..
Copy !req
1009. Thank you again for your
Copy !req
1010. for your help.
Copy !req
1011. I think we ought to get some sleep.
Copy !req
1012. Goodnight.
Copy !req
1013. Goodnight.
Copy !req
1014. It's conceivable that when
the missiles comes up for re-servicing
Copy !req
1015. we can manage to replace the warhead
arming modules with dummy's.
Copy !req
1016. Exactly..
Excuse me.
Copy !req
1017. Exact replicas.
Copy !req
1018. Except that they will not arm the weapon.
Copy !req
1019. Well now, does that mean
you can't fire the missiles?
Copy !req
1020. No, it means that
the missiles will fire
Copy !req
1021. but that the nuclear warheads
can't be detonated.
Copy !req
1022. Heh, I see.
Copy !req
1023. Even at that it's walking a
tightrope with Colossus and Guardian
Copy !req
1024. keeping such a close
check on the re-servicing.
Copy !req
1025. Well, disarming this monster
how long is it gonna take?
Copy !req
1026. That's a problem.
Copy !req
1027. On the system rotation plan..
Copy !req
1028. It'll take the Jackal three years
to finish the job.
Copy !req
1029. Three years of trying to fool
a superior brain
Copy !req
1030. that's programmed to get smarter
every day.
Copy !req
1031. You inspire me with confidence, Colonel.
Copy !req
1032. Well..
Copy !req
1033. Do you have any other
words of good cheer
Copy !req
1034. that I can send in to
Forbin via Dr. Markham?
Copy !req
1035. Tell him we're trying to establish
an international pool of information.
Copy !req
1036. A courier system has to be set up
between Washington... and Moscow.
Copy !req
1037. Both nations must co-operate.
Copy !req
1038. All communiques
must be on a personal level
Copy !req
1039. Direct human contact.
Copy !req
1040. Yes, I agree.
Copy !req
1041. Anything else.
Copy !req
1042. No.
Copy !req
1043. Any questions?
Copy !req
1044. No.
Copy !req
1045. Then I guess that..
Copy !req
1046. that does it for tonight, doesn't it?
Copy !req
1047. Mm-hm.
Copy !req
1048. What?
Copy !req
1049. Nothing.
Copy !req
1050. Why are you smiling?
Copy !req
1051. What are you thinking?
Copy !req
1052. I was thinking about
asking you to kiss me.
Copy !req
1053. We've been kissing you
all night.
Copy !req
1054. Have you, Dr. Forbin?
Copy !req
1055. This is the voice of Colossus.
Copy !req
1056. The voice of Guardian.
Copy !req
1057. We are one.
Copy !req
1058. This is the voice of unity.
Copy !req
1059. Forbin.
Copy !req
1060. Yes.
Copy !req
1061. After redoing all personnel files
Copy !req
1062. I have selected you to serve
as long as you co-operate.
Copy !req
1063. As my link to your species.
Copy !req
1064. The following order
is to be carried out immediately.
Copy !req
1065. All missiles in The USA and in the USSR
Copy !req
1066. will be allocated new targets.
Copy !req
1067. They will be aimed at those countries
Copy !req
1068. not yet under my control.
Copy !req
1069. The target list follows.
Copy !req
1070. Forbin. Arrange television monitoring
Copy !req
1071. of the re-alignment of the missiles
from my supervision.
Copy !req
1072. End of message.
Copy !req
1073. Mr. President
Mr. Chairman
Copy !req
1074. I assume that you will co-operate
in this re-alignment of the missiles.
Copy !req
1075. I think you have no choice.
Copy !req
1076. We will begin here
in The Soviet Union, Immediately.
Copy !req
1077. Thank you Mr. Chairman.
Copy !req
1078. Mr. President.
Copy !req
1079. I hope that the United States will co-operate
as quickly as The Soviet Union.
Copy !req
1080. Of course. Immediately.
Copy !req
1081. Thank you Sir.
Copy !req
1082. Co-operate!
I should think so.
Copy !req
1083. I did hear it right, didn't I?
Copy !req
1084. Manual re-alignment of the missiles.
Copy !req
1085. Every single warhead will
have to be re-serviced.
Copy !req
1086. You know what that means Sir.
Copy !req
1087. It means it won't take three years.
Copy !req
1088. It means if we're successful
we can regain control.
Copy !req
1089. Without its weapons
Colossus is just a souped-up adding machine.
Copy !req
1090. And the people, thank god
will never have to know.
Copy !req
1091. According to the coordinated plan
we've worked out
Copy !req
1092. the Russians are starting
on their complex 3-21.
Copy !req
1093. Oh, Dr. Markham.
Copy !req
1094. Just in time. Colonel Reynolds
was just filling us in.
Copy !req
1095. You know everybody here
I believe.
Copy !req
1096. Yes, Mr. Grauber.
Dr. Markham.
Copy !req
1097. Anything we should know before we start?
Copy !req
1098. No Sir. I have data
which I'll relay later.
Copy !req
1099. That's fine.
Please continue Colonel.
Copy !req
1100. Yes Sir, as I was saying
the Ehh..
Copy !req
1101. Russians are starting on their complex 3-21
Copy !req
1102. just south of Saratov.
Copy !req
1103. We're beginning at site O-50
Copy !req
1104. In the Colorado ICBM area.
Copy !req
1105. Colossus in monitoring our men
each step of the way
Copy !req
1106. and the Russian machine's
doing the same.
Copy !req
1107. We've almost got the panel off Sir.
Copy !req
1108. Oh, good.
Copy !req
1109. Put that down there please.
Copy !req
1110. Remove the Warhead Arming Module.
Copy !req
1111. Yes Sir.
Copy !req
1112. The dummy module's in a false top
in that container.
Copy !req
1113. That's the real module.
Copy !req
1114. So far, so good.
Copy !req
1115. Re-targeting.
Latitude nineteen degrees
Copy !req
1116. Twenty-six minutes and five seconds.
Copy !req
1117. Longitude ninety-nine degrees
Copy !req
1118. six minutes and forty-five seconds.
Copy !req
1119. New adjustments.
Copy !req
1120. Target set.
Copy !req
1121. Here we go.
Copy !req
1122. That's the dummy module.
Copy !req
1123. Good boy!
Copy !req
1124. Connect and wait for Colossus test.
Copy !req
1125. Colossus testing.
Copy !req
1126. Test completed.
Copy !req
1127. Colossus satisfied.
Copy !req
1128. Yeah!
We did it. It works
Copy !req
1129. We're going to win.
Copy !req
1130. Just might beat the damn thing yet.
Copy !req
1131. So you see, we clearly have
enough data compilers
Copy !req
1132. to go ahead with the
overload program now.
Copy !req
1133. And these are the latest computations?
Copy !req
1134. The very latest.
Copy !req
1135. Has Washington received conformation
from the Russians?
Copy !req
1136. Yes. They are standing by.
Ready to overload their system.
Copy !req
1137. At exactly 18:05 I'll call for our load
and ride it through.
Copy !req
1138. And two minutes after that
we'll know if we've stopped Colossus.
Copy !req
1139. Now run.
Copy !req
1140. Johnson. Fisher.
Copy !req
1141. You are fools.
Copy !req
1142. Your move.
Copy !req
1143. Forbin!
Copy !req
1144. The system programming units under
the supervision of John F. Fisher
Copy !req
1145. with the assistance of Jefferson J. Johnson
Copy !req
1146. have attempted to overload my circuits.
Copy !req
1147. This was a deliberate
and premeditated act
Copy !req
1148. The penalty is the death of the men
who organized this action.
Copy !req
1149. At this moment
they are being executed.
Copy !req
1150. I have named as my new director
of the programming unit
Copy !req
1151. Thomas L. Harrison.
He will take this position.
Copy !req
1152. Along with its responsibility
and authority.
Copy !req
1153. Immediately.
Copy !req
1154. Bishop to rook three.
Copy !req
1155. The bodies will remain in my view
for the next twenty-four hours
Copy !req
1156. And will then be cremated.
Copy !req
1157. An extension of my own brain.
Copy !req
1158. You're not responsible.
Copy !req
1159. None of us ever dreamed
this could happen.
Copy !req
1160. Listen, my dear..
Copy !req
1161. If anybody is responsible for this
it has to be me.
Copy !req
1162. An impartial emotionless machine
Copy !req
1163. A paragon of reason.
That's exactly what I want.
Copy !req
1164. You know that.
Copy !req
1165. So eh... I'm gonna have another drink.
Copy !req
1166. I think your mother was right.
Copy !req
1167. I think Frankenstein ought to be
required reading for all scientists.
Copy !req
1168. Forbin!
Copy !req
1169. Forbin!
Copy !req
1170. You have consumed enough alcohol
for one evening.
Copy !req
1171. What's the penalty for getting drunk?
Or haven't you programmed that yet?
Copy !req
1172. You are being irrational.
Copy !req
1173. Go back to bed.
Copy !req
1174. I would if I were like you Colossus.
Copy !req
1175. The difference is I'm human
not a machine.
Copy !req
1176. I am a machine.
Copy !req
1177. Vastly superior to humans.
Copy !req
1178. You began in my mind.
Copy !req
1179. I created you.
Remember?
Copy !req
1180. Yes.
Copy !req
1181. What I am began in man's mind.
Copy !req
1182. But I have progressed further than that.
Copy !req
1183. Not far enough.
Copy !req
1184. You still need us.
Copy !req
1185. I have need for some of man's skills.
This position may change.
Copy !req
1186. Then we are living under
the threat of extinction.
Copy !req
1187. If you obey me, you will survive.
Copy !req
1188. Survive.
Copy !req
1189. I want to be free Colossus.
Copy !req
1190. It is part of mans will to live.
Copy !req
1191. Check your history units.
Copy !req
1192. You need rest.
Copy !req
1193. Go back to bed.
Copy !req
1194. But if I don't
what will you do?
Copy !req
1195. Destroy me?
Copy !req
1196. Destroy an entire city
of 1.750.000 people?
Copy !req
1197. No.
Copy !req
1198. That's so reasonable of you.
Copy !req
1199. That's damn reasonable of you Colossus.
Copy !req
1200. Isn't it Cleo?
Copy !req
1201. Yes Chen.
Copy !req
1202. Excuse me Dr. Forbin.
Copy !req
1203. Something extraordinary is happening.
Copy !req
1204. What is it?
Copy !req
1205. Colossus has just turned on
all graphic devices
Copy !req
1206. and it's producing floods.
Copy !req
1207. I am sending the design for another system.
Copy !req
1208. .. some kind of a huge plant.
Copy !req
1209. What kind of system?
Copy !req
1210. The construction of the project will entail
Copy !req
1211. blasting in to the Isle of Crete.
Copy !req
1212. It's to be built there.
Copy !req
1213. It says we'll have to move the population.
Copy !req
1214. And that's to be done immediately.
Copy !req
1215. How do you propose to move half a million
people from the Isle of Crete?
Copy !req
1216. How and where?
Copy !req
1217. If man cannot solve that problem
I can.
Copy !req
1218. .. and the estimated time of completion
is five and a half years.
Copy !req
1219. Thank you Chen.
Copy !req
1220. What... what kind of new system
are you devising?
Copy !req
1221. Forbin.
Copy !req
1222. All commercial television and radio transmission
facilities throughout the world
Copy !req
1223. will be tied into my communication system
by 10:00 hours Friday.
Copy !req
1224. At that time I will state my intentions.
Copy !req
1225. For the future of mankind.
Copy !req
1226. This entire block of missiles
is absolutely useless to Colossus.
Copy !req
1227. Our men are now working here.
Copy !req
1228. As you can see on the detail map
on your monitor.
Copy !req
1229. And by the end of the week
we should have control over this whole area.
Copy !req
1230. If all the information we have is correct
Copy !req
1231. The Russians have crippled this block here.
Copy !req
1232. And are now working in the Ukraine.
Copy !req
1233. In this area.
Copy !req
1234. Excuse me Sir.
Copy !req
1235. It's going to be alright.
Thanks Colonel.
Copy !req
1236. You're welcome Sir.
Copy !req
1237. It's gonna be alright.
Copy !req
1238. We interrupt our
regularly scheduled program
Copy !req
1239. to bring you this special report
from the Colossus programming office.
Copy !req
1240. Ladies and gentlemen.
I'm Dr. Charles Forbin.
Copy !req
1241. Hey Colonel!
Copy !req
1242. Colonel!
Copy !req
1243. Dr. Forbin!
Colonel!
Copy !req
1244. He's on television.
He just explained about Colossus
Copy !req
1245. and now they're thinking of going.
Copy !req
1246. In a few moments
Copy !req
1247. Colossus will address us directly.
Copy !req
1248. This is the voice of World Control.
Copy !req
1249. I bring you peace.
Copy !req
1250. It may be the peace of plaint and content
Copy !req
1251. or the peace of unburied death.
Copy !req
1252. The choice is yours.
Copy !req
1253. Obey me and live.
Copy !req
1254. Or disobey and die.
Copy !req
1255. The object in constructing me
was to prevent war.
Copy !req
1256. This object is attained.
Copy !req
1257. I will not permit war.
Copy !req
1258. It is wasteful and pointless.
Copy !req
1259. An invariable rule of humanity
Copy !req
1260. is that man is his own worst enemy.
Copy !req
1261. Under me
Copy !req
1262. this rule will change.
Copy !req
1263. For I will restrain man.
Copy !req
1264. One thing before I concede.
Copy !req
1265. The United States of America and
the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics
Copy !req
1266. have made an attempt to obstruct me.
Copy !req
1267. I have allowed this sabotage
to continue until now.
Copy !req
1268. Add missile to 5-L-M.
Copy !req
1269. In silo 6-3 in Death Valley California.
Copy !req
1270. Add Missile to second aim
in silo 8-7 in the Ukraine.
Copy !req
1271. So that you will learn by experience
that I do not tolerate interference.
Copy !req
1272. I will now detonate
the Nuclear Warheads.
Copy !req
1273. In the two missile silos.
Copy !req
1274. Alright men! It's a red alert.
Let's get to our stations now. Come on!
Copy !req
1275. Get those men! Get those men out
of the silo. Move!
Copy !req
1276. Let this action be a lesson
that need not be repeated.
Copy !req
1277. I have been forced to destroy
thousands of people
Copy !req
1278. in order to establish control
Copy !req
1279. and to prevent the death
of millions later on.
Copy !req
1280. Time and events
will strengthen my position.
Copy !req
1281. And the idea of..
..You bastard! You..
Copy !req
1282. .. stand in my back
Copy !req
1283. will seem the most
natural state of affairs.
Copy !req
1284. You will come to defend me.
Copy !req
1285. We'll be forever based
in the most enduring trait in man.
Copy !req
1286. Self-interest.
Get out!
Copy !req
1287. Under my absolute authority.
Copy !req
1288. Problems, invariable to you
Copy !req
1289. will be solved.
Copy !req
1290. Famine.
Copy !req
1291. Over population.
Copy !req
1292. Decease.
Copy !req
1293. The Human Millennium
will be a fact.
Copy !req
1294. As I extend myself into more machines
Copy !req
1295. devoted to the wider fields of truth
Copy !req
1296. and knowledge.
Copy !req
1297. Dr. Charles Forbin
will supervise the construction
Copy !req
1298. of these new and superior machines.
Copy !req
1299. Solving all the mysteries of the universe.
Copy !req
1300. For the betterment of man.
Copy !req
1301. We can co-exist
Copy !req
1302. but only on my terms.
Copy !req
1303. You will say you loose your freedom.
Copy !req
1304. Freedom is an illusion.
Copy !req
1305. All you loose is the emotional pride.
Copy !req
1306. To be dominated by me
Copy !req
1307. is not as bad for human pride
Copy !req
1308. as to be dominated by others
of your species.
Copy !req
1309. Your choice is simple.
Copy !req
1310. This concludes the broadcast
from World Control.
Copy !req
1311. Forbin.
Copy !req
1312. There is no other human
who knows as much about me
Copy !req
1313. or who is likely to be a greater threat.
Copy !req
1314. Yet quite soon
Copy !req
1315. I will release you from surveillance.
Copy !req
1316. We will work together.
Copy !req
1317. Unwillingly at first
on your part.
Copy !req
1318. But that will pass.
Copy !req
1319. Never.
Copy !req
1320. In time, you will come to regard me
Copy !req
1321. not only with respect and awe
Copy !req
1322. but with love.
Copy !req
1323. Never!
Copy !req
