:32:05
Yes, Chief?
:32:09
Yes, sir.
:32:12
Yes, Mr. President.
:32:15
The president's decided
:32:16
to postpone Directive 7-12
:32:18
for 24 to 48 hours.
:32:20
Instead he'll call
out the National Guard

:32:22
to cordon off the area around Piedmont.
:32:24
That's your department, Ed.
:32:26
Safe and sound.
:32:28
It should've been left up
:32:30
to the scientists.
:32:31
It's a colossal mistake.
:32:33
Tell the president I said so.
:32:36
No, but...
:32:37
I'll get you an appointment.
:32:40
By
whose decision, General,

:32:42
was the site for Wildfire chosen?
:32:43
Dr. Stone's.
:32:45
It seemed ideal because
of its remoteness.

:32:47
There was no inhabited area
:32:49
near Wildfire for a
radius of 112 miles.

:32:52
Las Vegas is to the north,
:32:53
Phoenix to the south,
:32:55
Los Angeles west.
:32:57
Weren't you worried
:32:57
the infection might spread to them?
:32:59
Yes, sir, I was,
:33:00
but Dr. Stone and Dr. Robertson
:33:02
assured the president
:33:03
Wildfire was foolproof
:33:04
because of its device
:33:05
for atomic self-destruct.
:33:07
The military had to
take a backseat.

:33:23
At least they could've
sent a licensed driver

:33:25
to meet me at that crummy airstrip.
:33:27
They keep personnel to a minimum
:33:29
for obvious reasons.
:33:31
You're lost!
:33:32
No one's been down
:33:34
this goat path for years.
:33:36
That's how it's supposed to look.
:33:38
They spent $50,000 on it.
:33:40
Putting in the potholes?
:33:41
Getting rid of the tread marks.
:33:43
Those big tractors leave
a lasting impression.

:33:46
A lot of heavy equipment
has passed this way.

:33:55
Where's our leader?
:33:57
We'll catch up to him
and Hall very soon now.
