Hello, Buck.
How's your Russian today?
:41:07
Fine, sir. I guess.
:41:10
Good. We may need it.
:41:15
Hang on,Jennie.
It's a long way down.
:41:27
TellJoe nothing leaks
to the newspapers yet.
:41:30
Call the vice president and tell him
what's up. He'll know what to do.
:41:35
On second thought,
we better tell the press something.
:41:39
HaveJoe tell them it's urgent,
but not a bone-breaker so far.
:41:41
And offthe record, no leaks.
:41:43
Any leaks on this, the guy
and his paper are dead now and forever.
:41:47
I'll tellJoe injust those words.
:41:48
Who's at the Pentagon briefing today?
I want them in on this.
:41:52
Secretary of Defense.
Chiefs ofStaff.
:41:55
That Professor Groeteschele
they like so much is giving the lecture.
:41:58
- Is Blackie there?
- There's a General Black.
:42:00
That's Blackie. I'm glad he's there.
We went to college together.
:42:03
He's got a brain
and says what he thinks.
:42:05
That's all for now.
Get to work.
:42:07
Have them turn up the air-conditioning.
It's hot as hell down here.
:42:11
We're far enough down.
Maybe it is hell.
:42:18
- You know what's happened?
- No, sir.
:42:21
One ofourVindicator groups
got a wrong signal.
:42:24
They took offto bomb Moscow.
We've got to stop it.
:42:28
Easier said than done.
:42:30
But we've got a little time;
not much, but a little, so relax.
:42:35
Easier said than done, sir.
:42:38
Ifthings get really hot...
:42:40
I might have to use
the direct phone to the Kremlin.
:42:42
That's whereyou'll come in.
Let's hope we don't get that far.
:42:46
I hope not, sir.
:42:48
- GeneralBogan from Omaha, sir.
- Put him on.
:42:52
Group Six is now about 200 miles
past fail-safe, Mr. President.
:42:56
We still can't make contact.
:42:58
- Doyouknow what went wrong?
- No, sir, we do not.
