With the bees probably.
1:19:06
Nature knows when to give up, David.
1:19:09
I'm not giving up.
1:19:11
If Joshua tricks them
into launching an attack, it'll be your fault.

1:19:15
My fault? The whole point was
to find a way to practise nuclear war

1:19:19
without destroying ourselves.
1:19:22
To get the computers to learn from
mistakes we couldn't afford to make.

1:19:25
Except I never could get Joshua
to learn the most important lesson.

1:19:29
What's that?
1:19:31
Futility. That there's a time
when you should just give up.

1:19:35
What kind of a lesson is that?
1:19:37
Did you ever play tic-tac-toe?
1:19:40
Yeah. Of course.
1:19:42
- But you don't any more?
- No.

1:19:44
Why?
1:19:46
Because it's a boring game.
It's always a tie.

1:19:49
Exactly. There's no way to win.
1:19:51
The game itself is pointless.
1:19:54
But back at the war room,
they believe you can win a nuclear war.

1:19:59
That there can be acceptable losses.
1:20:03
So you gave up? Decided to play dead?
1:20:07
For security reasons,
they graciously arranged my death.

1:20:12
Did you know that no land animal
1:20:14
with a body weight of over 50lb
survived that age?

1:20:19
Extinction is part of the natural order.
1:20:22
Bullshit!
1:20:24
If we're extinguished, it's not natural.
It's just stupid!

1:20:28
Oh, it's all right. I've planned ahead.
1:20:31
We're just three miles
from a primary target.

1:20:34
A millisecond of brilliant light
1:20:37
and we're vaporised.
1:20:38
Much more fortunate than the millions
who'll wander sightless

1:20:43
through the smouldering aftermath.
1:20:46
We'll be spared the horror of survival.
1:20:49
I'm only 17 years old.
1:20:53
I'm not ready to die yet.
1:20:55
You won't make a simple phone call?
1:20:59
If the real Joshua was still alive,
your Joshua,
