1:29:01
Where areyou, Mr. Lentov?
1:29:03
In the U.N. building in New York.
1:29:07
I suppose there is a reason...
1:29:10
foryour ambassador
and Comrade Lentov tojoin us.

1:29:14
There is, Mr. Chairman.
1:29:17
Then let's get on with it.
1:29:20
His voice is firmer, sir.
Final.

1:29:24
Like he's made up his mind.
1:29:28
In a few minutes,
the bombs may be falling.

1:29:34
I have brought our forces
to a condition offull readiness.

1:29:39
Unless we can satisfy one another,
I must release those forces.

1:29:43
What doyou propose,
Mr. President?

1:29:45
Doyour people think there is still
a chance ofbringing down the bombers?

1:29:52
There is always a chance.
1:29:55
But I'm asking you,
what ifthey cannot?

1:29:59
What will you do?
1:30:00
Haveyou made a decision?
1:30:03
Yes.
1:30:06
It's my decision,
and I take full responsibility.

1:30:11
Mr. Swenson...
1:30:12
areyouon theline?
1:30:13
Yes, Mr. President.
1:30:15
- GeneralBogan?
- Yes, sir.

1:30:19
This is what will happen ifeven one
ofthe bombers gets through.

1:30:23
It will drop two
20-megaton bombs on Moscow.

1:30:28
-Jay?
- Yes, Mr. President?

1:30:31
You might hear
the sound ofthe engines...

1:30:33
just before the bombs drop,
maybe not.

1:30:35
In any case, you'll hear
the defensive missiles going off.

1:30:38
Right after that,
the bombs will explode.

1:30:42
I'm told that what we will hear
at this end...

1:30:45
will be a high, shrill sound.
1:30:49
That will be
the ambassador's phone...

1:30:51
melting from the heat
ofthe fireball.

1:30:54
When we hear that sound...
1:30:58
the ambassadorwill be dead.
