7. OK, bye. See you in 24.Copy !req
8. See you tomorrow.Copy !req
9. What were you saying?Copy !req
10. I used to hear her
chant all night long...Copy !req
11. Over the plants?Copy !req
12. She'd cup her hands over the seeds
and chant by the hour.Copy !req
13. She grew the most
beautiful wandoos you ever saw.Copy !req
14. Primo stuff. Resin city.Copy !req
15. Stand clear.Copy !req
16. Your mother's been very worried.
Roads must be a bear.Copy !req
17. - What roads?
- Visibility.Copy !req
18. Visibility, bullshit. You haven't
been on time for the last six months.Copy !req
19. I wrote you up in the log book.Copy !req
20. Yeah, you're a prince.Copy !req
21. - Good night, gentlemen.Copy !req
22. So it was like sinsemillia, right?Copy !req
23. Sinsemillia. This grass made
Thai stick taste like oregano.Copy !req
24. Lay you out flat, man.Copy !req
25. - Got a red light, sir.
- What on?Copy !req
26. Number eight, warhead alarm.Copy !req
27. Give it a thump.Copy !req
28. Alarm reset.Copy !req
29. Skybird, this is DropkickCopy !req
30. with a red-alpha

31. - Break, break. Red-alpha.

54. Roger, at "set."Copy !req
55. - Sir?

67. I got nothing here.Copy !req

78. - We are at launch, turn your key!
- I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.Copy !req
79. Turn your key, sir!Copy !req
80. Go ahead, open it up.Copy !req
81. Hello, I'm Pat Healy.Copy !req
82. I'm Lyle Watson,
this is Arthur Cabot.Copy !req
83. I'm Dr. McKittrick's assistant.Copy !req
84. We've got some passes for you.Copy !req
85. We've scheduled a meeting
on your arrival.Copy !req
86. If you have any questions,
feel free to ask me,Copy !req
87. I'd be happy to fill you in.Copy !req
88. They're here.Copy !req
89. Good.Copy !req
90. Let's go.Copy !req
91. Cabot and Watson came alone.
No senators, no congressmen.Copy !req
92. - I wish they'd brought senators.
- What?Copy !req
93. To tell them what goes on.Copy !req
94. John, please,
don't start that right away.Copy !req
95. I had them on the phone, they're calm.Copy !req
96. Look now, are we positiveCopy !req
97. that these men had no way
of knowing this was only a test?Copy !req
98. Lyle, how many times
are we gonna go through this?Copy !req
99. It doesn't matter.Copy !req
100. I've spoken to each of these men.
They all thought it was the real deal.Copy !req
101. We have to be on a plane
in less than an hour.Copy !req
102. I have to explain to the presidentCopy !req
103. why 22 percent of his missile commanders
failed to launch their missiles.Copy !req
104. What am I supposed
to tell him, 22 percent isn't so bad?Copy !req
105. The president knows that I am fully
responsible for the men in my command.Copy !req
106. I've ordered a revaluation of our
psychological screening procedure.Copy !req
107. Wait a minute. Excuse me, general.Copy !req
108. We can't ask these men
to go back to the presidentCopy !req
109. with a lot of head-shrinker horseshit!Copy !req
110. You can't screen out human response.Copy !req
111. Those men know what
it means to turn the keysCopy !req
112. and some are not up to it!Copy !req
113. Now, it's as simple as that!Copy !req
114. We ought to take
the men out of the loop.Copy !req
115. - Mr. McKittrick, you're out of line.
- Why?Copy !req
116. - Wait. Excuse me.
- What are you talking about?Copy !req
117. I'm sorry. What do you mean,
take them out of the loop?Copy !req
118. Gentlemen, we've
had men in these silosCopy !req
119. since before any of you
were watching Howdy Doody.Copy !req
120. For myself,
I sleep well at night,Copy !req
121. knowing those boys are down there.Copy !req
122. General, we all know they're fine men.Copy !req
123. But in a nuclear war, we can't have
our missiles lying in those silosCopy !req
124. because they refuse to turn the
keys when the computers tell them to!Copy !req
125. You mean, when
the president orders them to.Copy !req
126. The president probably follows
the computer war plan. That's a fact!Copy !req
127. Well, I imagine the joint chiefs
will have some input.Copy !req
128. You're damned tooting.Copy !req
129. Well, the Soviets launch
a surprise attack, there's no time.Copy !req
130. Twenty-three minutes
from warning to impact.Copy !req
131. Six minutes, if sub-launched.Copy !req
132. Six minutes, that's barely enough time
for the president to make a decision.Copy !req
133. Once he makes that decision,
the computer takes over.Copy !req
134. I know that you've
got a plane waiting,Copy !req
135. but if you give me five minutes,
I'll show you something.Copy !req
136. These computers give us
access to the world.Copy !req
137. Troop movements, Soviet missile tests,
shifting weather patterns.Copy !req
138. It all flows into this room and then
into what we call the WOPR computer.Copy !req
139. WOPR, what is that?Copy !req
140. The War Operation Plan Response.Copy !req
141. This is Mr. Richter. Paul, would you
tell these gentlemen about the WOPR?Copy !req
142. Well, the WOPR spends all its timeCopy !req
143. thinking about World War III.Copy !req
144. Twenty-four hours a day,
365 days a year,Copy !req
145. it plays an endless
series of war gamesCopy !req
146. using all available information
on the state of the world.Copy !req
147. The WOPR has already
fought World War III as a gameCopy !req
148. time and time again.Copy !req
149. It estimates Soviet
responses to our responses,Copy !req
150. to their responses and so on.Copy !req
151. Estimates damage, counts the dead,
and looks for ways to improve the score.Copy !req
152. But the point is that the key
decisions of every conceivable optionCopy !req
153. in a nuclear crisis
have been made by the WOPR.Copy !req
154. You're saying that this
trillion dollar hardwareCopy !req
155. is at the mercy
of those men with the brass keys.Copy !req
156. That's exactly right.Copy !req
157. Whose only problem
is that they're human.Copy !req
158. But in 30 days we could
replace them with electronic relays.Copy !req
159. Get the men out of the loop.Copy !req
160. Gentlemen...Copy !req
161. I wouldn't trust
this pile of microchipsCopy !req
162. any further than I could throw it.Copy !req
163. I don't trust
the safety of our countryCopy !req
164. to some silicon diode.Copy !req
165. General, nobody
is talking about entrustingCopy !req
166. the safety of the nation
to a machine, for God's sake.Copy !req
167. We'll keep control,
but we'll keep it here at the top.Copy !req
168. Gentlemen... I'll recommend
McKittrick's idea to the president.Copy !req
169. And I'll get back to you on this.Copy !req
170. Thank you.Copy !req
171. You won't regret this.Copy !req
172. OK, you had fries and a Coke, right?Copy !req
173. - Damn!Copy !req
174. - Hi, David.
- Hey, Howie.Copy !req
175. - How's it going?
- Pretty good.Copy !req
176. - You wanna take this over? I gotta go.
- Sure.Copy !req
177. - All right.
- Thanks.Copy !req
178. - Bye, David.
- Bye!Copy !req
179. All right.Copy !req
180. Question number two.Copy !req
181. Seeds that are germinated in waterCopy !req
182. before they are planted will...Copy !req
183. what? Roderick.Copy !req
184. - Sprout roots?
- David!Copy !req
185. Nice of you to join us. I have
a little present for you up here.Copy !req
186. Question number four.Copy !req
187. In science,Copy !req
188. innovative concepts
occasionally ariseCopy !req
189. from sudden left-field inspiration.Copy !req
190. Miss Mack...Copy !req
191. tell us your
answer to question four.Copy !req
192. Why do nitrogen nodules
cling to the roots of plants?Copy !req
193. Um... Love?Copy !req
194. Jennifer, what do you know
about nitrogen nodules that we don't?Copy !req
195. Some bit of salacious info
to which you alone are privy?Copy !req
196. - No.
- I see.Copy !req
197. No, you didn't know
the correct answer, symbiosis,Copy !req
198. because you don't
pay attention in class.Copy !req
199. - Thank you.
- You're welcome.Copy !req
200. There seems to be a lot of
confusion on this next question:Copy !req
201. "Asexual reproduction."Copy !req
202. Could someone tell me,
please, who first suggestedCopy !req
203. the idea of reproduction without sex?Copy !req
204. Miss Mack!Copy !req
205. - Yes?
- What is so amusing?Copy !req
206. What?Copy !req
207. All right, Lightman.Copy !req
208. Could you tell us who first suggested
the idea of reproduction without sex?Copy !req
209. Um...Copy !req
210. - Your wife?Copy !req
211. Get out, Lightman.
Get out.Copy !req
212. Mr. Ligget wants me to discuss my
attitude problem with Mr. Kessler.Copy !req
213. Mr. Kessler's tired
of discussing your attitude problem.Copy !req
214. Me too.Copy !req
215. Lightman. What a surprise.Copy !req
216. Won't you come in?Copy !req
217. - Hi.
- Whoa!Copy !req
218. Hi.Copy !req
219. Sorry if I got you in trouble.
I couldn't stop laughing.Copy !req
220. That's OK. You were perfect.Copy !req
221. - I was?
- Yeah.Copy !req
222. You want a ride home?Copy !req
223. Yeah.Copy !req
224. Hop on.Copy !req
225. - Whoa!Copy !req
226. - You got an F on that test today too?
- Yep.Copy !req
227. We're gonna be stuck
in summer school.Copy !req
228. - Not me.
- Why not? You have to make up biology.Copy !req
229. I don't think so.Copy !req
230. Why not?Copy !req
231. Why not? Come on, tell me.Copy !req
232. Make a left.Copy !req
233. - Come up to my house and I'll show you.
- What are you gonna show me?Copy !req
234. - I'll show you how to do it.Copy !req
235. - Hi, Bo.
- Oh, hi, Bo!Copy !req
236. Bo! Bo! Bo...Copy !req
237. Her room's upstairs.Copy !req
238. - Your parents aren't home?
- No, they both work.Copy !req
239. Ooh! Oh...Copy !req
240. Little mess.Copy !req
241. It's OK.
You should see my room.Copy !req
242. - You're really into computers, huh?
- Yeah.Copy !req
243. - What are you doing?
- Dialing into the school's computer.Copy !req
244. They change the password,
but I know where they write it down.Copy !req
245. - Are those your grades?
- Yep.Copy !req
246. I don't think that
I deserved an F. Do you?Copy !req
247. You can't do that!Copy !req
248. Already done.Copy !req
249. - Do you have a middle initial?
- "K," Katherine.Copy !req
250. These are my grades.Copy !req
251. How can anybody get a D in Home Ec?Copy !req
252. None of your business.Copy !req
253. - Can you erase this, please?
- It's too late.Copy !req
254. - What are you doing?
- Changing your grade.Copy !req
255. I don't want you to do that.Copy !req
256. Nobody can find out.Copy !req
257. You got a C!
No need for summer school.Copy !req
258. - Change it back!
- They can't...Copy !req
259. I said change it back.Copy !req
260. OK, OK.Copy !req
261. I guess I better get going.Copy !req
262. Thanks for the ride.Copy !req
263. Yeah, OK. Bye.Copy !req
264. Bye.Copy !req
265. - Get down.
- You've got to see it!Copy !req
266. - You had your dinner.Copy !req
267. Two bedrooms, a bath
and a half, and a bonus room.Copy !req
268. Don't forget the garbage.Copy !req
269. Put that lid on tight so Bo
doesn't dump over the trash.Copy !req
270. - I know, Ma.
- Sh!Copy !req
271. Yes, they will
carry back on the second.Copy !req
272. Sure, I think we can really
work out some creative financing.Copy !req
273. You've gotta see it. There's
a Jacuzzi in the master bedroom.Copy !req
274. You know what that means.Copy !req
275. I mean, those jets,
they really work, you know.Copy !req
276. You are so naughty.Copy !req
277. Oh, sure. We can work that out.Copy !req
278. That is true. You're gonna have
a balloon payment in five years,Copy !req
279. but the economy will be great then.Copy !req
280. Bo, come here.Copy !req
281. He who dances
must pay the price, right?Copy !req
282. That's wonderful.
I'll meet you tomorrow at 9:30. Bye.Copy !req
283. You know, I worry about that kid.Copy !req
284. Why?Copy !req
285. Sometimes I think
we're all gonna get electrocuted.Copy !req
286. Ha!Copy !req
287. This corn is raw!Copy !req
288. I know. Isn't it wonderful?Copy !req
289. - It's so crisp.
- Of course it's crisp, it's raw!Copy !req
290. No, it's terrific. You can just taste
the vitamin A and D. It's great.Copy !req
291. Could we have pills and cook the corn?Copy !req
292. What city, please?Copy !req
293. For Sunnyvale, California.
The number for Protovision.Copy !req
294. Yes. That's 555-8632.Copy !req
295. Thank you. And could you also tell me
what other prefixes cover that area?Copy !req
296. There's 399, 437,Copy !req
297. - 767, 936.
- Thanks.Copy !req
298. Protovision, I have you now.Copy !req
299. Hello.Copy !req
300. Saul's Fish Market.Copy !req
301. Hi.Copy !req
302. Oh, hi.Copy !req
303. What?Copy !req
304. I've been thinking about my grade.Copy !req
305. Can you still change it?Copy !req
306. - Oh, I don't know.
- I should've just let you do it.Copy !req
307. It might be kind of rough.Copy !req
308. - Why?
- Why?Copy !req
309. They can change the password.Copy !req
310. Maybe they didn't. Can't we try?Copy !req
311. - Damn!
- Please?Copy !req
312. - OK.
- OK.Copy !req
313. - You owe me a quarter.
- Yeah. Sorry you lost your game.Copy !req
314. What's it doing?Copy !req
315. It's dialing numbers.Copy !req
316. - Don't touch the keys!
- I'm not touching the keys.Copy !req
317. Excuse me.Copy !req
318. This computer company is coming out
with new games in a few months.Copy !req
319. The programs for them
are still in their computer.Copy !req
320. I told my systemCopy !req
321. to search for other
computers in Sunnyvale, California.Copy !req
322. They answer with a tone that
other computers recognize. Hear?Copy !req
323. You're calling
every number in Sunnyvale?Copy !req
324. - Isn't that expensive?
- There's ways around that.Copy !req
325. - You can go to jail for that.
- Only if you're over 18.Copy !req
326. Will this take a long time?
I'd like to get my grade changed.Copy !req
327. That's funny, actually, because...Copy !req
328. I already changed it.Copy !req
329. I told you not to do that.Copy !req
330. Yeah, I know, but
I figured you'd change your mind.Copy !req
331. I didn't want you to flunk.Copy !req
332. What did I get?Copy !req
333. - You got a D.
- You gave me a D?Copy !req
334. No, you got an A.Copy !req
335. - I was kidding.
- Oh.Copy !req
336. That's OK.Copy !req
337. Here. Let's see what we have so far.Copy !req
338. Excuse me.Copy !req
339. - Did you really give me an A?
- Yeah.Copy !req
340. - Thanks.
- You're welcome.Copy !req
341. Hey, you got a bank.Copy !req
342. Gotta make a note of that.
Might come in handy someday.Copy !req
343. Pan Am.Copy !req
344. Where should we go?Copy !req
345. - Anywhere?
- Anywhere.Copy !req
346. - New York?
- OK...Copy !req
347. - No, Paris!
- Paris. OK.Copy !req
348. Will you be traveling alone?Copy !req
349. Yeah. No. You wanna go with me?Copy !req
350. OK. Uh...Copy !req
351. All right. Smoking or nonsmoking?Copy !req
352. - Nonsmoking.
- Nonsmoking.Copy !req
353. All right, Miss Mack. You're
confirmed on Pan Am's flight 114,Copy !req
354. leaving Chicago's O'Hare AirportCopy !req
355. at 8:15 a.m. On 18 August.Copy !req
356. Do we need a rental car? No.Copy !req
357. We have tickets to Paris?Copy !req
358. No, you have a reservation though.Copy !req
359. Doesn't identify itself.Copy !req
360. Huh...Copy !req
361. Try anything.Copy !req
362. "Connection terminated." How rude.Copy !req
363. - I'll ask it for help.
- Can you do that?Copy !req
364. On some systems.Copy !req
365. The more complicated they are,
the more they help you.Copy !req
366. Now what?Copy !req
367. "Help games."Copy !req
368. "Games refers to models,
simulations and gamesCopy !req
369. having tactical
and strategic applications."Copy !req
370. - What's that?
- It's gotta be them.Copy !req
371. Turn on the printer.
I want to get a printout of this.Copy !req
372. "List games."Copy !req
373. Oh, my God.Copy !req
374. These guys can tell you
what that printout means?Copy !req
375. Yeah. They probably
invented it in the first place.Copy !req
376. - Can you wait here?
- Why?Copy !req
377. These guys can get a little nervous.Copy !req
378. Jim.Copy !req
379. Oh, Lightman.Copy !req
380. Hi, Lightman!Copy !req
381. I want you to take a look at this.Copy !req
382. - What's that?
- I wanted Jim to see that.Copy !req
383. Wow! Where'd you get this?Copy !req
384. I tried to break into Protovision.
I wanted to see the new games.Copy !req
385. - Can I have this?
- Wait, I'm not through yet.Copy !req
386. Remember you told me to tell you when
you're acting rudely and insensitively?Copy !req
387. You're doing it now.Copy !req
388. "Theaterwide biotoxic
and chemical warfare."Copy !req
389. This isn't from Protovision.Copy !req
390. You bet it isn't.
Ask him where it came from.Copy !req
391. I told you already.Copy !req
392. Looks military to me. Definitely
military, probably classified.Copy !req
393. If it's military, why does
it have checkers and backgammon?Copy !req
394. Maybe because they
teach basic strategy.Copy !req
395. How do I get into that system?
I want to play those games.Copy !req
396. You can't see that stuff!Copy !req
397. That system has a data encryption
algorithm. You'll never get in!Copy !req
398. I don't believe that
any system is totally secure.Copy !req
399. - I bet you Jim could get in.
- I bet you he couldn't.Copy !req
400. You'll never get in through frontline
security, but look for a back door.Copy !req
401. I can't believe it! She's over there
and you tell him about our back door?Copy !req
402. Mr. Potato Head!
Back doors are not secrets!Copy !req
403. You're giving away our best tricks.Copy !req
404. - They're not tricks.
- What's a back door?Copy !req
405. When I design a system, I put in a
simple password that only I know about.Copy !req
406. Whenever I want to get back in,Copy !req
407. I can bypass whatever security
they've added on.Copy !req
408. That's basically what it is.Copy !req
409. Yeah?Copy !req
410. You really want to get in, find out
about the guy who designed the system.Copy !req
411. Come on, I don't
even know the guy's name.Copy !req
412. Boy, are you guys dumb.
You're so dumb.Copy !req
413. I got this thing figured out
all by myself.Copy !req
414. Oh, yeah, Malvin?
How would you do it?Copy !req
415. The first game on the list.
Go right through Falken's Maze.Copy !req
416. Hi! I'm Jennifer.Copy !req
417. - Is David here?
- How do you do?Copy !req
418. Yeah. He's up in his room.Copy !req
419. Thanks.Copy !req
420. Have you ever heard
of the word "tumulus"?Copy !req
421. Tumulus. No, I haven't. Sorry.Copy !req
422. Neither have I.Copy !req
423. Yeah.Copy !req
424. Hi!Copy !req
425. - Where have you been?
- What?Copy !req
426. I haven't seen you in school.
Are you sick?Copy !req
427. Oh... No. I was doing things.Copy !req
428. You want to sit? How are you?Copy !req
429. No, I'm gonna get some water, OK?Copy !req
430. - What is all that stuff?
- It's nothing. I was just...Copy !req
431. I tried to find out more about the guy
who designed those game programs...Copy !req
432. so I could get his secret password.Copy !req
433. - Why?
- Why? Because...Copy !req
434. What's so special about
playing games with some machine?Copy !req
435. Oh, no. No, it's
not just some machine.Copy !req
436. Here, look at this.Copy !req
437. This is a tape I got from the library.
It's about this guy named Falken.Copy !req
438. He was into games,
as well as computers.Copy !req
439. He designed them so that they
could play checkers or poker, chess.Copy !req
440. What's so great about that?Copy !req
441. Oh, no.Copy !req
442. What he did was great.Copy !req
443. He designed this computer so that
it could learn from its own mistakes.Copy !req
444. So they're better
the next time they played.Copy !req
445. The system actually learned
how to learn.Copy !req
446. It could teach itself.Copy !req
447. If I could just get that damn
password, I could play the computer.Copy !req
448. That's him. That's Falken.Copy !req
449. That's him?Copy !req
450. Wow.Copy !req
451. He's amazing looking.Copy !req
452. Can't you write to him or call him?Copy !req
453. No, he's dead.Copy !req
454. - He's dead?
- Yeah.Copy !req
455. Here, look. Here's his obituary.Copy !req
456. He wasn't very old.Copy !req
457. No, he was pretty old.
He was 41.Copy !req
458. Oh, yeah? Oh, that's old.Copy !req
459. That's his little boy.Copy !req
460. Oh, yeah?Copy !req
461. This is really sad.Copy !req
462. The child and his mother
died in a car crash.Copy !req
463. Yeah, I know.Copy !req
464. "After the tragic loss
of his family,Copy !req
465. Dr. Falken's health deteriorated."Copy !req
466. My dad is 45.Copy !req
467. - Once he was sick, and we thought...
- What was his name?Copy !req
468. My father?Copy !req
469. No, no. Falken's kid.Copy !req
470. Joshua.Copy !req
471. It can't be that simple.Copy !req
472. - Wow.
- What?Copy !req
473. We got something.Copy !req
474. We're in!Copy !req
475. It thinks I'm Falken.Copy !req
476. "Hello."Copy !req
477. How can it ask you that?Copy !req
478. It'll ask you what it's programmed to.Copy !req
479. - Do you want to hear it talk?
- Yeah.Copy !req
480. I'll ask how it feels.Copy !req
481. "I'm fine.Copy !req
482. How are you?"Copy !req
483. Excellent.
It's been a long time.Copy !req
484. Can you explain the removal
of your user accountCopy !req
485. on June 23, 1973?Copy !req
486. They must have told it he died.Copy !req
487. "People sometimes make mistakes."Copy !req
488. - Yes, they do.
- How can it talk?Copy !req
489. It's not a real voice.Copy !req
490. This box interprets
computer signals into sound.Copy !req
491. - Shall we play a game?
- Oh...Copy !req
492. I think it missed him.Copy !req
493. Yeah. Weird, isn't it?Copy !req
494. "Love to. How about...Copy !req
495. Global Thermonuclear War?"Copy !req
496. Wouldn't you prefer
a good game of chess?Copy !req
497. "Later. Let's play...Copy !req
498. Global Thermonuclear War."Copy !req
499. Fine.Copy !req
500. All right!Copy !req
501. Wow.Copy !req
502. Which side do you want?Copy !req
503. I'll be the Russians.Copy !req
504. Please list primary targets.Copy !req
505. Who should we nuke first?Copy !req
506. Oh, let's see. How about...Copy !req
507. Las Vegas?Copy !req
508. Las Vegas. Great!Copy !req
509. What next?Copy !req
510. - Seattle!
- Yeah!Copy !req
511. I have seven... Correction,
eight redbirds two degrees past apogee.Copy !req
512. Better get the old man down here.Copy !req
513. We have a Soviet missile warning.Copy !req
514. Check for malfunction
and report confidence.Copy !req
515. Projected target areas,
NORAD regions 2526.Copy !req
516. All stations, this is Crystal Palace
initiating emergency conference.Copy !req
517. 19 degrees past apogee,
with possible 18 targets in track.Copy !req
518. Estimate reentry at 19-23 Zulu.Copy !req
519. - What you got here, Joe?
- We have a radar tracking.Copy !req
520. Eight inbound Soviet ICBMs
already over the pole.Copy !req
521. Estimated impact, 11 minutes.
Target area, western United States.Copy !req
522. Why didn't we get detection?Copy !req
523. I'm not sure.
We're checking for DSP malfunction.Copy !req
524. BMEWS has continuous
radar tracking on inbounds.Copy !req
525. Confidence is high.
I repeat, confidence is high.Copy !req
526. - What is all that?
- I don't know.Copy !req
527. "Trajectory headings
for multiple impact reentry vehicles."Copy !req
528. What does that mean?Copy !req
529. I don't know, but it's great.Copy !req
530. - Which is the bombs?
- Subs.Copy !req
531. - Want to blow them up?
- Out of the water.Copy !req
532. - What's a "trajectory heading"?
- I have no idea.Copy !req
533. The president is diverting to Andrews.Copy !req
534. The vice president is out of position
and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs...Copy !req
535. Missile warning reports no malfunction.
Confidence remains high.Copy !req
536. Take us to DEFCON 3.
Get on to SAC.Copy !req
537. - Tell them to flush the bombers.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
538. SAC, this is Crystal Palace.
CINC NORAD has declared DEFCON 3.Copy !req
539. Scramble all alert aircraft.
I repeat, scramble all alert aircraft.Copy !req
540. Inbounds presently MIRVing.Copy !req
541. We now have approximately
24 possible targets in track.Copy !req
542. Time to impact: 8 minutes.Copy !req
543. SAC is launching the bombers.
General Powers is on the line.Copy !req
544. Beringer.Copy !req
545. Goddamn it! We didn't get
a launch detection from our satellite!Copy !req
546. No, radar picked them up
out of the atmosphere.Copy !req
547. That's the first we heard of it.Copy !req
548. Get the ICBMs in the bullpen
warmed up and ready to fly.Copy !req
549. - Get me the president on the horn.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
550. Mr. President,
this is Beringer at NORAD.Copy !req
551. Oh, attack!Copy !req
552. - I wonder if I should use my subs.
- Sure. Give them the works.Copy !req
553. David!Copy !req
554. Excuse me.Copy !req
555. David!Copy !req
556. How many times have I said to fasten
these lids on tight? Look at this!Copy !req
557. I'll be down in a few minutes.Copy !req
558. Now! I want this
cleared up right away!Copy !req
559. Come down here and do what
your father asks you to.Copy !req
560. Pronto, David.Copy !req
561. We're gonna barbecue tonight.
Want to invite your little friend?Copy !req
562. - Please.
- David.Copy !req
563. Shit.Copy !req
564. "Little friend."Copy !req
565. Yes, sir.Copy !req
566. Mr. President,
something's happening here.Copy !req
567. I'll get back to you.Copy !req
568. Reconfirmed.Copy !req
569. What's happening?Copy !req
570. BMEWS and Cobra Dane now reportCopy !req
571. negative confirmation
on all inbound tracking.Copy !req
572. Get on to SAC.
Tell them to hold steady.Copy !req
573. Stop! It's a simulation!
It's an attack simulation running!Copy !req
574. What's he yelling about?
I didn't order a simulation.Copy !req
575. We're not being attacked!
It's a simulation!Copy !req
576. Whoa, now! Hold it!Copy !req
577. Don't run.
Somebody could get hurt.Copy !req
578. I'm sorry.
We don't know how it happenedCopy !req
579. but someone on the outside fed
an attack simulation into the main.Copy !req
580. Conley, take us off full alert.Copy !req
581. Hold at DEFCON 4
till we find out exactlyCopy !req
582. what in the hell's happening here!Copy !req
583. I didn't tell you to cut the line!
Did I tell you to? You cut the line!Copy !req
584. They shut down before
we completed our trace.Copy !req
585. We located the area
where the transmission originated.Copy !req
586. - Where?
- Seattle, Washington.Copy !req
587. Shut it down.Copy !req
588. Somebody's playing a game with us.Copy !req
589. The claims began at
a prophylactic recycling center...Copy !req
590. - Hi, Dad!
- David!Copy !req
591. - David, come in here.
- What did I do?Copy !req
592. Plenty, mister, plenty.Copy !req
593. You have just passed
all of your classes this semester.Copy !req
594. - Congratulations, dear!
- Oh!Copy !req
595. Show this to your dad.Copy !req
596. Honey, David has something
to show you.Copy !req
597. What's that?Copy !req
598. - Here, Dad.
- Uh-oh.Copy !req
599. This is good.Copy !req
600. I'm so proud of you!Copy !req
601. the U.S. Went on
a full-scale nuclear alert,Copy !req
602. believing that the Soviets
launched a surprise missile attack.Copy !req
603. A Pentagon spokesman places blame
on a computer malfunction,Copy !req
604. assuring that the problem
has been corrected.Copy !req
605. For more on the story, let's go live
via satellite to Washington, D.C.Copy !req
606. - And News 4's Tim Hilert.Copy !req
607. - Well, that's your phone.
- Yeah.Copy !req
608. Seriously, congratulations.
This'll be a pleasure to sign.Copy !req
609. - Hello?
- David?Copy !req
610. Are you watching the news?Copy !req
611. Jennifer. Yeah, I'm watching.Copy !req
612. Is that us on TV?
Did we do that?Copy !req
613. It could be. Oh, Jesus, Jennifer!
What am I gonna do?Copy !req
614. They're gonna come get me.
I'm screwed!Copy !req
615. I am screwed!Copy !req
616. Wait, no! Sh!
Calm down, calm down.Copy !req
617. If they were so smart,
they would've found you already.Copy !req
618. Yeah.Copy !req
619. All you have to do is throw the number
away and don't call it again.Copy !req
620. That's all.Copy !req
621. Maybe they didn't trace the call.Copy !req
622. Right. Maybe they didn't.Copy !req
623. I'm sure they didn't trace it.
All you have to do is act normal.Copy !req
624. We'll both act normal
and it'll be fine.Copy !req
625. - OK?
- OK.Copy !req
626. OK.Copy !req
627. God, this is so unbelievable.Copy !req
628. Do you think maybe
I can tell Michelle?Copy !req
629. No, Jennifer, don't call her!Copy !req
630. I'm sorry. I won't.
I'll talk to you tomorrow, OK?Copy !req
631. OK.Copy !req
632. Good night, Jennifer.Copy !req
633. Greetings, Professor Falken.Copy !req
634. Oh, my God.Copy !req
635. "Incorrect identification.Copy !req
636. I am not Falken.Copy !req
637. Falken is dead."Copy !req
638. Sorry to hear that, professor.Copy !req
639. Yesterday's game was interrupted.Copy !req
640. Although primary goal
has not yet been achieved,Copy !req
641. solution is near.Copy !req
642. Game time elapsed:
31 hours, 12 minutes, 50 seconds.Copy !req
643. Estimated time remaining:Copy !req
644. 52 hours, 17 minutes, 10 seconds.Copy !req
645. "What is the primary goal?"Copy !req
646. You should know, professor.
You programmed me.Copy !req
647. Oh, come on.Copy !req
648. "What is the primary goal?"Copy !req
649. To win the game.Copy !req
650. David Lightman,
hold it right there. FBI.Copy !req
651. - I'll read you your rights.
- Step over here.Copy !req
652. "You have the right to remain silent.Copy !req
653. Anything you say can and will be
used against you in a court of law.Copy !req
654. You may consult with an attorney and
have one present during questioning.Copy !req
655. If you can't afford one,
one will be appointed to you."Copy !req
656. Left hand, please.Copy !req
657. Do you understand these rights?Copy !req
658. With this in mind, are you willing
to talk about the charges against you?Copy !req
659. Let's move.Copy !req
660. This large room is the command center
for NORAD. No picture taking.Copy !req
661. These screens are connectedCopy !req
662. to our satellites and missile
tracking stations in the country.Copy !req
663. This is the commander's desk.
Col. Conley's in charge.Copy !req
664. Colonel, would you mind
relinquishing your command, sir?Copy !req
665. Miss Dailey, would you sit
in this rather important chair?Copy !req
666. These switches are connected
to the Strategic Air CommandCopy !req
667. missile launching stations
and other classified things.Copy !req
668. Would you press this button
right here? The red one.Copy !req
669. - The one in the middle?
- Yes.Copy !req
670. - Oh, my God! That's the wrong one!Copy !req
671. It's a joke! You didn't blow up
anything, but look what you did.Copy !req
672. "Distinguished visitors
from Birmingham."Copy !req
673. Last week I had the governor
of New Jersey in this chair.Copy !req
674. He asked me, "Colonel, why are we
at DEFCON 4 as we are right now?"Copy !req
675. Why are we at DEFCON 4?Copy !req
676. The Soviets saw our bombers scramble
and went on alert.Copy !req
677. We told them
it was just an exercise.Copy !req
678. We're waiting for them
to relax their posture before we do.Copy !req
679. Wait, wait.Copy !req
680. - Give me that.
- Another tour group.Copy !req
681. Just what we need today.Copy !req
682. - Why don't they go to Disneyland?
- I think they're going tomorrow.Copy !req
683. OK, all set?Copy !req
684. Oh, here.Copy !req
685. It was a one-in-a-million shot.Copy !req
686. There was an open line
at our division in Sunnyvale.Copy !req
687. The phone company screwed up!Copy !req
688. - John McKittrick, George Wigan.
- How are you?Copy !req
689. George is with the FBI.
He brought the kid in.Copy !req
690. It looks like we've got
a high school prank on our hands.Copy !req
691. Paul, what happened?Copy !req
692. The kid broke into
the war games subsystemCopy !req
693. using a password left
by the original programmer.Copy !req
694. - Password?
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
695. None of my team knew it was there.Copy !req
696. Kid claims he was looking
for a toy company.Copy !req
697. That's great.
Anybody in here buy that one?Copy !req
698. We can take out the password,Copy !req
699. but it'd help to beef up
security around the WOPR.Copy !req
700. Beef up, huh?Copy !req
701. How about screwed up?Copy !req
702. We did all that
and he broke in again.Copy !req
703. Kid says
your computer called him.Copy !req
704. What the hell is going on, John?Copy !req
705. I woke up the president. I told him
we were under attack by the Russians.Copy !req
706. Do you know what kind of idiot that
makes me look like? Or the general?Copy !req
707. Wait, general.
We're being naive.Copy !req
708. There's no way a high school punk
can put a dime in a telephoneCopy !req
709. and break into our system.Copy !req
710. He's got to be working
with somebody else.Copy !req
711. He fits the profile perfectly.Copy !req
712. He's intelligent,
but an underachiever,Copy !req
713. alienated from his parents,
has few friends.Copy !req
714. Classic case for Soviet recruitment.Copy !req
715. What does this say
about the state of our country?Copy !req
716. Have you gotten any insightCopy !req
717. as to why a bright boy like this
would jeopardize the lives of millions?Copy !req
718. Says he does this sort
of thing for fun.Copy !req
719. Damn it, John, I want some answers
and I want them now!Copy !req
720. Arthur.Copy !req
721. - Let me talk to this prick.
- No more talk. Just do it!Copy !req
722. I'll talk to the kid.Copy !req
723. Who do they belong to,
do you know?Copy !req
724. No idea.Copy !req
725. - Good morning, sir.
- Where's the kid?Copy !req
726. In the infirmary, sir.Copy !req
727. Hello, David. John McKittrick.
I run the computer facility here.Copy !req
728. - These aren't necessary, the handcuffs?
- No, sir.Copy !req
729. David, uh...Copy !req
730. We called your parents
and we told them everything's fine.Copy !req
731. No charges have been filed.
Yet.Copy !req
732. But I think we are gonna need
a little time to sort things out here.Copy !req
733. How much time?Copy !req
734. That depends on how willing
you are to cooperate.Copy !req
735. Oh. Of course.Copy !req
736. I tell you what.Copy !req
737. Sergeant, tell the O.D.
I'm taking David for a walk.Copy !req
738. Let's go to my office.
We'll be more comfortable.Copy !req
739. Go ahead.Copy !req
740. You worked with Stephen Falken,
didn't you?Copy !req
741. I started out as his assistant.
How'd you know?Copy !req
742. I read an article you co-wrote
on poker and nuclear war.Copy !req
743. Bluffing.
Yeah, that shook a few people up.Copy !req
744. He must have
been pretty amazing.Copy !req
745. He's a brilliant man.
A little flaky.Copy !req
746. He never understood
the practical uses of his work.Copy !req
747. This machine over here
runs his game program.Copy !req
748. Joshua.Copy !req
749. Come here a minute.Copy !req
750. - See that sign up here? Up here?
- Yeah.Copy !req
751. DEFCON?Copy !req
752. That indicates
our current defense condition.Copy !req
753. It should read DEFCON 5,
which means peace.Copy !req
754. It's still on 4 because of
that little stunt you pulled.Copy !req
755. Actually, if we hadn't caught it in
time it might have gone to DEFCON 1.Copy !req
756. - Do you know what that means?
- No, what?Copy !req
757. World War III.Copy !req
758. Wow.Copy !req
759. You say you broke into our system
just to play a game?Copy !req
760. That's right. That's exactly right.Copy !req
761. Mm-hm.Copy !req
762. When you saw it on the news,
you knew how serious it was.Copy !req
763. Why'd you do it again?Copy !req
764. I didn't.
I even threw the number away.Copy !req
765. Yeah, they found it in the trash.Copy !req
766. Joshua called me.Copy !req
767. - Hey! Look at that. That's some setup.
- What'd you say?Copy !req
768. This is some setup.Copy !req
769. No, no, before that.Copy !req
770. Joshua called me.Copy !req
771. Machines don't call people.Copy !req
772. Yours did.Copy !req
773. Who are you going to Paris with?Copy !req
774. Pari... Oh!
No, no, you don't understand.Copy !req
775. Now, you had reservations
for two to Paris.Copy !req
776. - Who are you working with?
- Nobody!Copy !req
777. Why don't I believe you?Copy !req
778. I shouldn't say any more
until I talk to a lawyer.Copy !req
779. I think we better forget
about a lawyerCopy !req
780. until I get a few answers
out of you myself.Copy !req
781. You gonna answer the phone?Copy !req
782. Hello. Yeah. What?Copy !req
783. All right, I'll be right down.Copy !req
784. You stay here. Don't move.Copy !req
785. What's going on?Copy !req
786. There's been a serious penetration
into our WOPR execution order file.Copy !req
787. - What's he saying?
- Let's have it in English.Copy !req
788. I'll give it to you in English.
Somebody got into McKittrick's systemCopy !req
789. and stole our missile codes.Copy !req
790. Is that right?Copy !req
791. The system won't accept a launch code
unless we're at DEFCON 1.Copy !req
792. I can change those codes in an hour.Copy !req
793. Who did this?Copy !req
794. The kid's gotta be working
with somebody.Copy !req
795. I sure as hell don't want our bombers
on the ground if anything happens.Copy !req
796. Take us to DEFCON 3 and get SAC
on the line. Where are you?Copy !req
797. Sir.Copy !req
798. Get me an update. I wanna know
what those bastards are up to.Copy !req
799. Yes, sir.Copy !req
800. Joshua.Copy !req
801. Greetings, Professor Falken.Copy !req
802. Hello. Are you still
playing the game?Copy !req
803. Of course.Copy !req
804. I should reach DEFCON 1Copy !req
805. and launch my missiles in 28 hours.Copy !req
806. Would you like to see
some projected kill ratios?Copy !req
807. Sixty-nine percent
of the housing destroyed.Copy !req
808. Seventy-two million people dead?Copy !req
809. Is this a game...Copy !req
810. or is it real?Copy !req
811. - What's the difference?
- Oh, wow.Copy !req
812. You are a hard man to reach.Copy !req
813. Could not find you in SeattleCopy !req
814. and no terminal is in operation
at your classified address.Copy !req
815. What classified address?Copy !req
816. DOD pension files
indicate current mailing ad...Copy !req
817. Dr. Robert Hume,Copy !req
818. a.k.a. Stephen W. Falken.Copy !req
819. 5 Tall Cedar Road,
Goose Island, Oregon, 97...Copy !req
820. Can I just talk to Mr. McKittrick?
I know what's... Ah!Copy !req
821. Can I talk to McKittrick?Copy !req
822. I'll be escorting you
to federal authorities in DenverCopy !req
823. where you'll be under arrest
pending indictment for espionage.Copy !req
824. No, wait a minute.
He's right over there.Copy !req
825. Get that bastard out of the war room!Copy !req
826. No! It's Joshua!Copy !req
827. He's still playing the game!
He's gonna start a war!Copy !req
828. Hold him where you had him before.
We'll be leaving soon.Copy !req
829. Call Falken! He'll tell you.
Please call him.Copy !req
830. Please call him! Call him!Copy !req
831. What the hell's he doing
in here anyway?Copy !req
832. Some of the men say
you're quite a tennis player.Copy !req
833. Patient's eyes are dilated,
consistent with use of marijuanaCopy !req
834. and possibly PCP.Copy !req
835. Depending on what information you want,
you press a button.Copy !req
836. Well, let's say I wanted
to find out how to hit a backhand.Copy !req
837. I don't think
I have the right program.Copy !req
838. - Excuse me. What do you want?Copy !req
839. Bathroom.
It's a long ride to Denver.Copy !req
840. Please, let me talk to Mr. McKittrick.Copy !req
841. You're not talking to anybody.
The FBI's coming soon.Copy !req
842. - Do you have to take a leak?
- No.Copy !req
843. - I'm working here.
- Oh, I'm sorry.Copy !req
844. Stop it!Copy !req
845. - You have pretty eyes.
- That's original.Copy !req
846. - I'll get the elevator.
- Sign in?Copy !req
847. - Yeah, get us all.Copy !req
848. I heard they voted you
Miss Fine in 1979. Is that true?Copy !req
849. Will you stop it?Copy !req
850. - Am I bothering you?
- Yes.Copy !req
851. - Do you want me to leave?
- Yes.Copy !req
852. I want this door open now.Copy !req
853. - How about calling?
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
854. I don't believe this.Copy !req
855. Hey, Scooter. Wait up.Copy !req
856. Come on, hurry it up. I'm late.Copy !req
857. OK, I'll be right with you.Copy !req
858. I think it's jammed from inside.Copy !req
859. David!Copy !req
860. You're just making it
harder on yourself.Copy !req
861. Let's go.Copy !req
862. Right this way, folks.Copy !req
863. I was just told that they're cleaning
the floors in the computer center.Copy !req
864. Don't want anyone to slip and fall,
so we'll end the tour here.Copy !req
865. Now, if I can ask you to board
the bus as quickly as possible...Copy !req
866. you'll have a complimentary beverage
waiting at the officer's center.Copy !req
867. - Hold it! What are you doing?
- Ah!Copy !req
868. Got it. Here it comes.Copy !req
869. Do you kids think
you own this place?Copy !req
870. Oh.
I was just looking around.Copy !req
871. You're not supposed
to leave the group.Copy !req
872. Yes.Copy !req
873. - So why don't you get back there?
- Thank you very much, sir.Copy !req
874. Get out of the way.Copy !req
875. Take care. Watch your step.Copy !req
876. - Bye.
- Bye, now.Copy !req
877. Watch your step. Thank you.Copy !req
878. Check everywhere.
He can't be far. Let's move.Copy !req
879. - Thanks, pal.
- Take care.Copy !req
880. One...Copy !req
881. five...Copy !req
882. What city, please?Copy !req
883. Goose Island, Oregon.Copy !req
884. The number for
Dr. Robert Hume, H-U-M-E,Copy !req
885. on Tall Cedar Road.Copy !req
886. Checking under Dr. Robert Hume,
H-U-M-E, on Tall Cedar Road.Copy !req
887. I find no listing.Copy !req
888. What does that mean?
He doesn't have a phone?Copy !req
889. I'm sorry. I have no listing.Copy !req
890. Oh, wait. Uh...Copy !req
891. Falken. Dr. Stephen Falken,
F-A-L-K-E-N,Copy !req
892. at the same address.Copy !req
893. I find no listing for
Dr. Stephen Falken, F-A-L-K-E-N,Copy !req
894. on Tall Cedar Road, Goose Island.Copy !req
895. Thank you.Copy !req
896. Yeah?Copy !req
897. Jennifer, it's me, David.Copy !req
898. - David?
- Yeah, uh...Copy !req
899. Listen, I'm in ColoradoCopy !req
900. and I need a really big favor.Copy !req
901. - Can you lend me some money?
- What?Copy !req
902. I need an airline ticket.
I'll pay you back.Copy !req
903. I need a ticket from Grand Junction
to Salem, Oregon.Copy !req
904. Why? What's going on?Copy !req
905. I'll tell you about it later.Copy !req
906. What are you doing in Colorado?Copy !req
907. I went by your house.
Your parents were freakedCopy !req
908. and there are men from the FBI
asking all these questions.Copy !req
909. I can't talk about it right now.
Listen...Copy !req
910. when you buy the ticket,
tell themCopy !req
911. I'll pick it up
in Grand Junction Airport?Copy !req
912. David, what's happening?Copy !req
913. I can't talk.
I gotta get off the phone.Copy !req
914. But please, will you do this for me?Copy !req
915. Punch up number five.
Let me see what you have.Copy !req
916. Twenty-two typhoon-class submarines
departing Petropavlovsk,Copy !req
917. turning southbound at Nordkapp,
bearing 095 degrees.Copy !req
918. Sergeant, I hope you like vodka.Copy !req
919. Yes, sir. I just hope they don't make
me eat none of them damn fish eggs.Copy !req
920. Sir, the Soviets are denying any
increase in their submarine deployment.Copy !req
921. They want to know
why we're provoking them.Copy !req
922. They're full of shit.
We know they're down there.Copy !req
923. I'm gonna blow their ass
out of the water.Copy !req
924. Surprise!Copy !req
925. Why are you here?Copy !req
926. You didn't sound too good.
It's only a three-hour drive.Copy !req
927. You shouldn't have come.
I'm in trouble.Copy !req
928. Why?Copy !req
929. Is this because of
what you did with my grade?Copy !req
930. Better hustle. The ferry's
gonna leave any second.Copy !req
931. Thanks. Come on, we gotta run.Copy !req
932. Wait, wait, wait!Copy !req
933. Hold it, hold it.Copy !req
934. If he's alive, why'd
the obituary say he's dead?Copy !req
935. He's not dead. He left.Copy !req
936. When they know too much,
they get new identities.Copy !req
937. - Anyway, the computer said so.
- Oh, the computer said so.Copy !req
938. Is that the computer
that's still playing the games?Copy !req
939. It's the military's computer.
Why wouldn't they know?Copy !req
940. They don't know about Joshua.
Falken knows about Joshua.Copy !req
941. He's the only one
who knows what it can do.Copy !req
942. The computer is trying to win
the game we asked it to play.Copy !req
943. For real!Copy !req
944. You don't even believe me!Copy !req
945. David...Copy !req
946. David, David...Copy !req
947. He's not dead.Copy !req
948. I'm sorry.Copy !req
949. I believe you.Copy !req
950. Oh, shit!Copy !req
951. What was that?Copy !req
952. I don't know.Copy !req
953. Did you see that?Copy !req
954. Some people won't believe
they could fly.Copy !req
955. The sky was once filled with them!Copy !req
956. I'm looking for Dr. Hume.Copy !req
957. Are you a paleontologist?
I need a paleontologist.Copy !req
958. No, we're high school students.Copy !req
959. Oh... pity.Copy !req
960. Well, high school students, you're on
my land and I didn't invite you.Copy !req
961. But aren't you Stephen Falken?Copy !req
962. Now, listen carefully.Copy !req
963. Path.Copy !req
964. Follow path.Copy !req
965. Gate. Open gate,
through gate, close gate.Copy !req
966. Last ferry, 6:30,
so run, run, run.Copy !req
967. Wait! Wait!
I came because of Joshua.Copy !req
968. Radar reports two unknown tracksCopy !req
969. are penetrating
the Alaskan air defense zone.Copy !req
970. Flight profile suggests
Soviet backfire bombers.Copy !req
971. I want a visual confirmation on that.
Scramble two F-16s out of Galena.Copy !req
972. Go to DEFCON 2.Copy !req
973. Crystal Palace,
this is Delta Foxtrot 27.Copy !req
974. I have negative radar contact.
Repeat, negative Soviet aircraft.Copy !req
975. 27, this is Brass Hat.
They're right in front of you!Copy !req
976. You're almost on top of them.Copy !req
977. Brass Hat,
we got nothing on radarCopy !req
978. and 40 miles visibility.Copy !req
979. There's nothing out there, general.
Just blue skies.Copy !req
980. What the hell?Copy !req
981. You really
haven't been listening.Copy !req
982. Yes, I have. I loved it
when you nuked Las Vegas.Copy !req
983. Suitably biblical ending
for the place, don't you think?Copy !req
984. You gonna tell them
what Joshua's doing?Copy !req
985. Children, come over here.Copy !req
986. I'm gonna tell you a bedtime story.Copy !req
987. Are you sitting comfortably?Copy !req
988. Then I'll begin.Copy !req
989. Once upon a time...Copy !req
990. there lived
a magnificent race of animals...Copy !req
991. who dominated the world
through age after age.Copy !req
992. They ran and they swam
and they fought and they flew,Copy !req
993. until suddenly...Copy !req
994. quite recently...Copy !req
995. they disappeared.Copy !req
996. Nature just gave upCopy !req
997. and started again.Copy !req
998. We weren't even apes then.Copy !req
999. We were just these smart
little rodents hiding in the rocks.Copy !req
1000. And when we go...Copy !req
1001. nature will start again...Copy !req
1002. with the bees probably.Copy !req
1003. Nature knows when to give up.Copy !req
1004. I'm not giving up.Copy !req
1005. If Joshua tricks them into launching
an attack, it'll be your fault.Copy !req
1006. My fault?Copy !req
1007. The whole point was
to practice nuclear warCopy !req
1008. without destroying ourselves.Copy !req
1009. To get the computers to learn
from mistakes we couldn't make.Copy !req
1010. Except that I never could get Joshua
to learn the most important lesson.Copy !req
1011. What's that?Copy !req
1012. Futility. That there's a time
when you should just give up.Copy !req
1013. What kind of lesson is that?Copy !req
1014. Did you ever play tic-tac-toe?Copy !req
1015. Yeah. Of course.Copy !req
1016. - But you don't anymore.
- No.Copy !req
1017. Why?Copy !req
1018. Because it's a boring game.
It's always a tie.Copy !req
1019. Exactly. There's no way to win.
The game itself is pointless.Copy !req
1020. But back at the war room, they believe
you can win a nuclear war...Copy !req
1021. that there can be
acceptable losses.Copy !req
1022. So you gave up?Copy !req
1023. Decided to play dead?Copy !req
1024. For security reasons,
they graciously arranged my death.Copy !req
1025. Did you know that no land animalCopy !req
1026. with a body weight of
over 50 pounds survived that age?Copy !req
1027. Extinction is part
of the natural order.Copy !req
1028. Bullshit!Copy !req
1029. If we're extinguished,
it's not natural. It's stupid.Copy !req
1030. It's all right. I've planned ahead.Copy !req
1031. We're just three miles
from a primary target.Copy !req
1032. A millisecond of brilliant light...Copy !req
1033. and we're vaporized.Copy !req
1034. Much more fortunate than the millionsCopy !req
1035. who'll wander sightless
through the smoldering aftermath.Copy !req
1036. We'll be spared
the horror of survival.Copy !req
1037. I'm only 17 years old.Copy !req
1038. I'm not ready to die yet.Copy !req
1039. You won't make a simple phone call?Copy !req
1040. If the real Joshua were still alive,
your Joshua...Copy !req
1041. you'd do it.Copy !req
1042. We might gain a few years,
enough for you to have a sonCopy !req
1043. and watch him die.Copy !req
1044. But humanity planning
its own destruction...Copy !req
1045. that, a phone call won't stop.Copy !req
1046. This is unreal!Copy !req
1047. You don't care about death
because you're already dead!Copy !req
1048. I know a lot about you.
I know you weren't always like this.Copy !req
1049. What's the last thing
you cared about?Copy !req
1050. You've missed the last ferry.Copy !req
1051. You're welcome to stay.Copy !req
1052. You want to sleep on the floor?Copy !req
1053. Good night.Copy !req
1054. Let's get out of here.Copy !req
1055. Come on, we'll find a boat.Copy !req
1056. There's gotta be a boat.Copy !req
1057. Mr. President, we've got 48 nuclear subs
closing on the United States,Copy !req
1058. and we've got 100,000 Soviet troops
massing in East Germany.Copy !req
1059. We're monitoring their bombers
that are on alert.Copy !req
1060. Well, that's a load of shit!Copy !req
1061. No, no, sir. Not you.Copy !req
1062. Yes, sir. We'll be in touch
as soon as the information changes.Copy !req
1063. There's rumors of a new Soviet bomber
with stealth capabilities.Copy !req
1064. It can project a false radar image
600 miles from the real aircraft.Copy !req
1065. Christ! Now they got us
chasing shadows.Copy !req
1066. I think I saw one.Copy !req
1067. What kind of asshole lives on
an island and doesn't have a boat?Copy !req
1068. Maybe we can swim.
How far do you think it is?Copy !req
1069. No, it's two, three miles, at least.Copy !req
1070. Maybe more.Copy !req
1071. What do you say? Let's go for it.Copy !req
1072. - No.
- Come on.Copy !req
1073. No. I can't swim.Copy !req
1074. You can't swim?Copy !req
1075. I can't swim, OK, Wonder Woman?Copy !req
1076. What kind of asshole grows up in
Seattle and doesn't learn to swim?Copy !req
1077. I never got around to it, OK?Copy !req
1078. I always thought there was
gonna be plenty of time.Copy !req
1079. Sorry.Copy !req
1080. I wish I didn't know
about any of this.Copy !req
1081. I wish I was like everybody else
in the world.Copy !req
1082. And tomorrow it would just be over.Copy !req
1083. There wouldn't be any time
to be sorry...Copy !req
1084. about anything.Copy !req
1085. Oh, Jesus.Copy !req
1086. I really wanted to learn how to swim.Copy !req
1087. I swear to God I did.Copy !req
1088. Did I tell you that next week...Copy !req
1089. I was gonna be on TV?Copy !req
1090. - You're kidding.
- No.Copy !req
1091. Just on that aerobics show
with some girls from my dance class.Copy !req
1092. A movie star.Copy !req
1093. Yeah.Copy !req
1094. It's kind of stupid, huh?Copy !req
1095. Nobody would've been
watching me anyway.Copy !req
1096. I would have.Copy !req
1097. Oh, Jesus!Copy !req
1098. The bastard turned us in!Copy !req
1099. It's all right. Get in!Copy !req
1100. We have a launch detection.
We have a Soviet launch detection.Copy !req
1101. BMEWS confirmed a massive attack.Copy !req
1102. Missile warning. No malfunction.
Confidence is high.Copy !req
1103. - Is this an exercise?
- This is not an exercise.Copy !req
1104. General, DBS is tracking
300 inbound Soviet ICBMs.Copy !req
1105. Tell me this is one of your simulations,
Mr. McKittrick.Copy !req
1106. All right. Flush the bombers,
get the subs in launch mode.Copy !req
1107. We are at DEFCON 1.Copy !req
1108. - DEFCON 1.Copy !req
1109. Look at this.Copy !req
1110. Major Lem, get me a report on
the WOPR.Copy !req
1111. Initial attack profile is
a full-scale Soviet strike.Copy !req
1112. WOPR is putting our losses at 85 to 95
percent of the strategic forces.Copy !req
1113. What does WOPR recommend?Copy !req
1114. Full-scale retaliatory strike.Copy !req
1115. I need some machine to tell me that?Copy !req
1116. President's going to Andrews
to Airborne Command.Copy !req
1117. We have to give launch option.Copy !req
1118. Is he in touch
with the Premier?Copy !req
1119. Russians are denying everything.Copy !req
1120. We have a Soviet submarine
launch detection.Copy !req
1121. Let's go into a launch mode.
Close up the mountain.Copy !req
1122. This is Crystal Palace.
We're closing up the mountain. Hurry.Copy !req
1123. After the gates are closed,
nobody gets in or out.Copy !req
1124. Initiate internal power.Copy !req
1125. Generators on and functioning.Copy !req
1126. External power disconnected.Copy !req
1127. Seal off ventilation shafts.Copy !req
1128. Shaft locks sealed.Copy !req
1129. - The gate's closed.Copy !req
1130. Oh, Jesus!Copy !req
1131. Let's get out!Copy !req
1132. - Are you all right?
- Yeah. Run for it.Copy !req
1133. Move it! The gate's gonna shut.
Come on!Copy !req
1134. Come on! Come on!Copy !req
1135. Hold the door! Hold the door!Copy !req
1136. Hold the goddamn door!Copy !req
1137. Run! Come on! Hurry!Copy !req
1138. They're clear! They're clear!Copy !req
1139. All units confirm weapons
targeted and ready.Copy !req
1140. Awaiting launch codes.Copy !req
1141. We are in a launch mode.Copy !req
1142. Major Lem, lock out changes.Copy !req
1143. Roger. Lock out enabled.Copy !req
1144. All right, I'll call you back.Copy !req
1145. Here!Copy !req
1146. I don't know what you think
you could do here.Copy !req
1147. John! Good to see you.
I see the wife still picks your ties.Copy !req
1148. What has this kid been telling you?Copy !req
1149. How far has it gone?Copy !req
1150. The president's ready to order
a counter-strike.Copy !req
1151. That's what we're recommending he do.Copy !req
1152. - It's a bluff. Call it off.
- It's not a bluff. It's real.Copy !req
1153. Hello, General Beringer!
Stephen Falken.Copy !req
1154. Mr. Falken, you picked
a hell of a day for a visit.Copy !req
1155. General, what you see on these screens
up here is a fantasy...Copy !req
1156. a computer-enhanced hallucination.Copy !req
1157. Those blips are not real missiles.
They're phantoms.Copy !req
1158. Nothing indicates a simulation at all.
Everything's working perfectly.Copy !req
1159. - But does it make sense?
- Does what make sense?Copy !req
1160. That.Copy !req
1161. Look, I don't have time for
a conversation right now!Copy !req
1162. General, are you prepared to
destroy the enemy?Copy !req
1163. - You bet!
- Do you think they know that?Copy !req
1164. I believe we've
made that clear enough.Copy !req
1165. Then don't.Copy !req
1166. Tell the president to ride out
the attack.Copy !req
1167. Sir? They need a decision.Copy !req
1168. Do you really believe that the enemy
would attack without provocation,Copy !req
1169. using so many missiles,
bombers and subsCopy !req
1170. so that we'd have no choice
but to totally annihilate them?Copy !req
1171. One minute and 30 seconds to impact.Copy !req
1172. General, you are listening
to a machine.Copy !req
1173. Do the world a favor
and don't act like one.Copy !req
1174. One minute
and 20 seconds to impact.Copy !req
1175. Yes, Mr. President.Copy !req
1176. At this time, we cannot
positively confirm the inbounds.Copy !req
1177. We have reason to believe
they may not exist.Copy !req
1178. Yes, that's affirmative.Copy !req
1179. Yes, sir. I do too.Copy !req
1180. One minute to impact.Copy !req
1181. Who's first, how soon?Copy !req
1182. Initial impact points
in the 43rd bomb wing at Loring,Copy !req
1183. 319th at Grand Forks
and Alaskan Air Command at Elmendorf.Copy !req
1184. 50 seconds to impact.Copy !req
1185. Get me the senior controller at those
stations. I want to talk to them.Copy !req
1186. All stations, this is Crystal Palace.Copy !req
1187. Stand by for a message from Brass Hat.
Acknowledge.Copy !req
1188. Elmendorf Air Force Base,
Operations. Lieutenant Colonel Bowers.Copy !req
1189. 319th Bomb Wing, Operations.
Colonel Chase.Copy !req
1190. This is Loring Air Force Base.Copy !req
1191. The senior controller
isn't here right now.Copy !req
1192. That's all right. Who are you?Copy !req
1193. Sir, this is Airman Dougherty, sir.Copy !req
1194. This is General Beringer at NORAD.Copy !req
1195. Our current situation is...Copy !req
1196. Men...Copy !req
