We have only
a little time left, Mr. President.

1:08:08
His voice is subdued, sir.
1:08:11
It's not angry.
It's subdued.

1:08:14
How shall we use this time?
1:08:17
He sounds sorrowful, sad.
1:08:21
What luck
areyour fighters having?

1:08:25
Luck?
1:08:27
No luck at all.
1:08:29
We have shot down
only one ofyour bombers.

1:08:31
What about the other five?
1:08:35
Maybeyes, maybe no.
1:08:38
Your masking devices
are better than we had thought.

1:08:43
Hundreds oftargets
have appeared on the radar.

1:08:46
Perhaps they are decoys.
Perhaps they are real bombers.

1:08:49
Many ofmy experts
are convinced that they are real.

1:08:53
They urge me to release
our own bombers at once.

1:08:56
Why don'tyou, then?
1:08:59
- Good question.
- Why haven'tyou counterattacked?

1:09:03
I am gambling
thatyou are sincere.

1:09:07
My generals are not so happy
with me about this...

1:09:09
as I'm sureyour generals
are not so happywith you.

1:09:13
But there is time
for common sense.

1:09:18
I must have proof,
Mr. President.

1:09:20
Neither ofus wants war...
1:09:22
but we must be convinced
that this is...

1:09:26
truly a mistake--
1:09:27
thatyour intentions are not hostile
and that there is a chance for peace.

1:09:30
Mr. Chairman,
let me askyou something.

1:09:34
Just before our planes took off
from their fail-safe point...

1:09:37
there was a white flash
on our plotting board.

1:09:41
We think this is connected
to some mechanical failure...

1:09:44
that might have activated
their ''go'' signal.

1:09:46
Could this have been caused
byyour radio interference?

1:09:51
They're arguing
with him again, sir--

1:09:53
telling him not to answer--
the information is too secret.

1:09:57
Was ityourjamming that kept us
from getting through to our planes?
