Youunderstand,
Mr. Ambassador...

1:31:03
you're tostay
exactly whereyouare.

1:31:05
Yes, Mr. President.
1:31:07
He's got to attack.
1:31:11
Is this your proposal?
1:31:14
To sacrifice one American
for five million Russians?

1:31:17
No, no, listen to me!
1:31:21
I've ordered a Vindicator bomber
into the air from Washington.

1:31:25
In a few minutes, it will be
flying over New York City.

1:31:28
It is carrying two
20-megaton bombs.

1:31:32
The moment I know
that Moscow has been hit...

1:31:36
I will order that plane
to drop its bombs.

1:31:39
It will use the Empire State Building
for ground zero.

1:31:44
When we hear the shriek
of Mr. Lentov's phone melting...

1:31:50
we will know that he is gone...
1:31:52
and with him, New York.
1:31:57
Holy Mother ofGod.
1:31:59
No.
1:32:03
He can't do it.
1:32:06
What else can he do?
1:32:11
I don't know any otherway,
Mr. Chairman, unless--

1:32:16
unless you feel
the offer itselfis enough.

1:32:19
Showing our intentions.
1:32:23
Would you think it enough?
1:32:27
If Russian bombers
were flying against New York...

1:32:32
could you accept
only my good intentions?

1:32:37
No.
1:32:40
I believe
this was an accident.

1:32:44
But I also believe
your action...

1:32:46
is the onlyway out.
1:32:50
I askyou to believe
I wish it were not so.

1:32:55
Yes.
1:32:58
We can still hope
I won't have to take that action.
