1:36:01
Paul, this is McKittrick.
1:36:02
The WOPR's not letting us back in.
1:36:04
I know. No one can get back on.
We're trying everything.
1:36:08
It's like the entire password file
has been wiped out.
1:36:11
I tried that! Don't you think
I would have tried that?
1:36:17
What are those?
1:36:19
Those are launch codes.
1:36:21
What are they for?
1:36:23
Joshua's trying to find the right codes
so he can launch the missiles himself.
1:36:38
What's happening?
1:36:39
The random number generators
aren't running.
1:36:41
- Got anything?
- I'm still looking.
1:36:43
I got no idea.
It could be coming from anywhere.
1:36:48
Sir, you better get on the headset.
1:36:52
Yeah?
1:36:53
General, the machine has locked us out.
It's sending random numbers to the silos.
1:36:58
Codes. To launch the missiles.
1:37:00
Just unplug the goddamn thing!
1:37:02
- Jesus Christ!
- That won't work, General.
1:37:05
It would interpret a shutdown
as the destruction of NORAD.
1:37:09
The computers in the silos would carry
out their last instructions. They'd launch.
1:37:13
- Can't we disarm the missiles?
- Over a thousand of them?
1:37:17
There's no time. At this rate
it'll hit the launch codes in 5.3 minutes.
1:37:23
Mr McKittrick?
After very careful consideration, sir,
1:37:27
I have come to the conclusion
that your new defence system sucks.
1:37:32
I don't have to take that,
you pig-eyed sack of shit.
1:37:35
I was hoping for something a little better
than that from a man of your education.
1:37:39
General, it's the president.
1:37:46
What do you...
What are you gonna tell him?
1:37:50
That I'm ordering our bombers
back to fail-safe.
1:37:53
We might have to go through
this thing after all.
1:37:59
Yes, sir.
