All language subtitles for Colossus.The.Forbin.Project.1970.WS.DVDRip.XviD-BLooDWeiSeR-eng

Would you look this way please?

Okay!

One moment.

Mr. President, all systems activated.

I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long.
- oh no, not at all.

Congratulations Dr. Forbin.
It's a marvelous achievement.

Thank you sir.

Hear, Hear!
The limousine is ready for us.

Of course it's gonna put me out of a job
and put the Pentagon in mothballs.

Congratulations Dr. Forbin.
I'm quite sure that won't happen

Listen to him.
He's more relieved than anybody.

Our secretary of defense, the secretary of
state and myself

had a discussion on our way out here
and as to the treatment needed

we told the company about it.

And hem..

We all agreed
it should be simple and direct.

Yes.

Downgrade the biggest top-secret
in all history to a plain non-sequitur.

Now, all we have to do
is tell the people about it.

Thank you sir.

My friends..

Fellow citizens of the world.

For years we have been delicately
and desperately poised

upon the brink of a disaster

too complete
and horrible to contemplate.

There is an old saying:
Everyone makes mistakes

but that is just
what man can no longer afford.

For years, we here in the united states
have been working on that problem

until now it's been our most
closely guarded secret

involving great effort
and wast expenditure.

But it has been met with success.

As President of
the United states of America

I can now tell you,
the people of the entire world

that as of 3 Am. eastern standard time

the defense of this nation

and with it, the defense of the free world

has been the responsibility of a machine.

A system we call Colossus.

Far more advanced
than anything previously built

Capable of studying intelligence
and data fed to it.

And on the basis of those facts only

deciding if an attack
is about to be launched upon us.

If it did decide
that an attack was imminent

colossus would then act immediately

for it controls its own weapons

and can select and deliver

whatever it considers appropriate.

Colossus decisions are superior
to any we humans can make.

For it can absorb
and process more knowledge

than is remotely possible
for the greatest genius that ever lived.

And even more important than that
it has no emotions.

Knows no fear, no hate, no envy.

It cannot act in a sudden fit of temper.

Cannot act at all
so long as there is no threat.

I would now like you to meet
Dr. Charles Forbin

The worlds leading expert
on computer systems.

And if you will..

the father of Colossus.

Thank you Mr. President.

Ladies and gentlemen, I will..

try to make this as simple as possible.

The main memory and central processing units
are located here in the rocky mountains..

Inside this particular mountain..

In Colorado.

And overlooking the Pacific Ocean
in California..

the Colossus programing office

oversees the entire operation.

The computer center

contains over one hundred thousand remote
censors and communication devices

which monitor all

electronic transmissions
such as microwaves, laser

radio and television communications

data communications from satellites

in orbit all over the world.

The entire system..

is surrounded by fields
of intensified gamma radiation

and other countermeasure devices.

Colossus works
completely without human aid.

We make no secret..

of where Colossus is located

nor do we intend to conceal
how it functions.

You may rightfully say
that this leaves us wide open to an attack

frontally and subversively
and if that attack were successful

it would in effect leave us defenseless.

However..

Colossus
does have its own defense.

It is its own defense.

In case of an attack..

on any of its information supply
or power lines..

Colossus will switch on
the emergency circuits

which will then take
the appropriate action.

It is self-sufficient

self-protected

self-generated.

It is impenetrable.

In short..

There's no way in.
No human being can touch it.

Over here

we have one of the many terminals

directly hooked

to the computer center.

Through this

Colossus can communicate with us,

excuse me gentlemen,

and through this machine

we, in turn, can communicate with Colossus.

Now, there's one last point.

One inevitable question..

which we have been asked
very frequently before.

And that is..

is Colossus capable of creative thought?

Can it initiate new thought?

I can tell you
that the answer to that is no.

However
Colossus is a paragon of knowledge

and his knowledge
can be expanded indefinitely.

I hope, along with all the scientists who..

helped make this particular project,

that the immense power of this computer
will not only be used

for the defense of this country

but hopefully also as an aid to the solution
of the many problems we face on this earth

and the many more problems
that we will face

the more deeply we penetrate
into the universe.

Thank you.

Mr. President.

Thank you Dr. Forbin.

And so..

my fellow human beings

we all directly and
indirectly live in the shade

but not the shadow of Colossus.

My sincere hope
is that now

we shall join hands and hearts
across this great globe

and pledge our time and our energies

to the elimination of war

elimination of famine,
of suffering

and ultimately to the manifestation
of the human millennium.

This can be done,

but first there must be peace.

Thank you.

CPO Rec-Room.
Blake Miller here.

What?!

Just a minute.
I can't hear you.

Hey! Hold it down!
Kill the noise. Hold it.

It's The White House.

Hello Charles.
Hello Blake.

How is everyone?

Everything's fine down here Charles.
Very good.

Dr. Forbin, we had a power failure
in one of the infra-red satellites.

I cant, I cant quite hear you Dr. Markham.

We had a power failure
in one of the infra-red satellites

about an hour and a half ago

but Colossus switched immediately to the
backup system and didn't lose any data.

Everything's fine now.

Everything's been going so well
we don't know what to do with ourselves

Out of desperation Angela and I
have decided to get married

Finally, finally.
Very good.

Charlie, is that your crew on the phone?

Certainly is Mr. President.
Can I talk to them?

Sure, go ahead sir.
Blake, Hello!

Hello Mr. President.
Hello everyone.

How are you?
Are you having a good time?

Yeah!
Very good.

Ahh.. Folks

I just wanna congratulate all of you

and I wish all of you good luck
on your next projects

Thank you Mr. President.

Have a good rest.
You deserve it.

Thank you.
We will!

That looks like quite a party
you've got going there.

Bye bye.
Have fun.

Here's Dr. Forbin again.

How's the party down there Charles?

I said, Charles,
how's the party at that end?

I wish I could be
there with you

because this party is becoming
a crashing bore.

Please not that song.
Please not.

Dr. Forbin,
send us a souvenir, will you?

Say that again.
What?!

Steal us an ashtray
from The White House, OK?

Very good.

Goodbye.
Haha..

The President would like to say
a few words.

Mr. President!

Thank you Sam.
Everybody have a drink?

No?!

Well, you get one.
I'll wait for you.

Harry Truman, years ago..

when everybody was talking about passing the
buck said that the buck stops right here

but now that's no longer true.
Hear hear!

Colossus will now take that buck.

It will also have to take that
responsibility of a mega-million lives

that all presidents
have had to carry since Roosevelt.

And now, thank to this wonder of science

I no longer..

Ladies and gentlemen,
may I have your attention please.

Quiet, please, ladies and gentlemen.
May I have your attention!

One moment.

Everyone who is not Colossus cleared
must leave the room.

I'm very sorry.

My apologies.
Thank you, thank you very much.

Is this a joke?
Is somebody putting me on?

Sorry sir,
I can't hear a word you are saying

Would you be so kind as to have them stop
singing in the background?

What?
Have them stop singing in the background.

The music.
Oh! I'm sorry.

Stop the music!
What's this, another system?

I have no idea sir,
I'm just trying to find out.

One moment, please.

Yes, Dr. Forbin.
Doctor?

There was just a message here from Colossus
in Washington DC.

Can you explain that?

That's impossible.
What do you mean?

Everybody!

Hold it, hold it a minute!
Guess what?

It's a strange message on display

No, no. Wait a minute.
I'm not kidding

It reads:
There is another system.

That's impossible.

Could I have your attention please.
Go on Sir.

Dr. Malcolm and the rest of you.

Be so kind as to check the administrative
control programs right now.

Just a moment..
Mr. President?

Soviet Ambassador.
He says it's urgent.

Hello? Yes.

What time do you call Mr. Ambassador?

Oh yes we are, we are very proud.

Repeat that again please.

Yes I am.
Well, thank you for telling me in advance.

No, no comment.

Goodnight Mr. Ambassador.

Goodnight.

Dr. Fischer, run all the test programs.

Get me Grauber.

What's the CIA been doing?

Well everyone, that's it.

The supreme council
of the U.S.S.R. has

ordered as of 2300 hours
Moscow time tomorrow

the activation of an electronic brain,
exactly like ours, which they call Guardian

to be used solely for defense.

My god, that's the other system.

Ted, I want a complete rundown
on central intelligence

and no military moves to be carried out
without my personal orders.

Yes, Mr. President.

Charles, what do you think this means?

To be quite frank with you, sir..

I don't know, I'm not sure.

Well, I am.
It means there's been a security leak.

Sir, science is full of coincidences

Yes. Peterson!
What's happening?

They're still trying to find it.

We'll have him paged.
Hello Byron.

You said we were years ahead
of the Russians

This was to be the race we won hands down,
without the splitting of one political hair.

It was a hell of a shock but we did
get there first, no-one can deny that.

And there's one bright spot
the way Colossus came up with the tip.

I didn't realize
we'd be getting bonuses like that.

Neither did I.

What do you mean?

I'm as surprised as you are, Sir.

There's a spy there, Charlie

You've got a Russian agent in your crew.

Where is Grauber?
He's coming Mr. President.

Ok, well..

What do you mean, surprised?
What kind of a surprise?

If we don't find any bugs in the system..

It's built even better than we'd thought.

Morning Charles!

I canceled all vacations,
put the entire crew on emergency.

The White House called a defense group
meeting for tomorrow morning.

They wanna have you there.

That leaves us very little time.

Four hundred cycle powers of plasma
running at about four percent disclosure.

Good, that's well within
specification limits.

I ran the communication subset
check up program, it's perfect.

So what do I do next,
I've tried everything I could think of.

I've tried putting a dummy load in the system
and run it again and see if there's any changes.

Maybe the system's overloaded.

Find anything at all?

Nothing, everything checks out.

Let me see this over here.

Here are the results of the last test.

And they check.
Here, see?

It's the same thing.

Harrison..

Check the perimeter bank and see if the reading
of any two produces a new third, alright?

Dr. Fisher, thank you.

Jeff..

The console's feeling fine

Hardware's healthy too.

You're a big help.

Miss Fields..

May I suggest, Sir, that we first start

with the E-15-B test program?

Er, no.

Now, let us run the EC-13, alright?

It's two pages back.

Lewis, any coffee?

I'll get you some, Charles
I'll get a cup myself. Thank you Blake.

Ok, here we go.

Attention..

Program..

EC-13.

Run..

How long does this usually take?

Ehm, over eleven hundred CPU-Seconds.

Six point four five seconds.
What the hell is this?

Communication with other system?

Alright now,
Enough is enough.

Which one of you jokers
told the system to display this message?

Harrison?

Not me, Dr. Forbin.

Johnson, this sound like your
brand of humor, you sure you didn't..

Not me, not this time.
Scouts honor, Forbin.

Operations, Fields speaking.

Sir, It's the President.

Yes Mr. President.

What does this mean?

Well, it means Sir, that Colossus has requested
a communication link with the Soviet system.

It's not a request, its a direct order.

You mean our computer
wants to talk to their computer?

That is true Sir
it wants to communicate with it.

Why?

You know as much about that
as we do.

We certainly never programmed that into it.

If it's an order it either has to be obeyed
or ignored, doesn't it?

That is right, Sir.

What happens if we ignore it?

If the computer is still operating
under our control, nothing.

In other words..

the order will simply remain
in the job stack

and will be repeated every half hour.

IF the computer is still acting
under our control?!

That is right sir, if.

Alright.

I see.
Thanks Charlie.

Well, at least the queuing programs
are still working right.

Well, that's something anyway.

Ok now.

Miss Fields, let's see if the executive
programming sections are functioning correctly.

Attention..

Message acknowledge.

Facilities will not be made available
at this time.

Do not repeat your request.

End of message.

Well..

That's that.

We'll know in about half an hour
whether we're still running the show or not.

Well..

We're still boss.

Are we?

Are you disappointed?

The computational power of the computer
has increased about two-hundred fold.

However, everything else
is functioning as expected.

Except for heuristic programming section

I'm sorry to stop you again,
Dr. Forbin, but exactly what is that?

That Sir, is the part of the computer that
simulates the human learning process

but so long as it is directed solely
to the execution of its problems..

We have no complaints.

I guess that is, that is all.
Alright.

Mr. Grauber, let's talk about the CIA

How is it possible your department
knew nothing about their system?

Mr. President.
Er... Charlie just..

Dr. Forbin, just a second.

Well..

Mr. President, excuse me but..

Colossus has access to information
that wouldn't mean a damn thing to the CIA

Well I'm sure it's a marvelous machine,
Dr. Forbin, but in all events

we do have agents, and eh..

one of them did report on considerable
electronic activity in the eh..

Krasny-Signorsk area of Siberia
about three years ago, now..

We've been trying..
Mr. Grauber

I don't care how you do it

I wanna know where that thing is
and what..

Mr. President.
Charlie..

I'm still presiding over this meeting

I know that Sir,
my apologies but..

I do think that protocol wastes
an awful lot of time

I think all we have to do is..

Call the computer with this terminal..

and we get the fastest possible answer.

Alright, go ahead.

Attention..

Where is the other system?

Bolshoi Olyania.

So much for Krasny-Signorsk.

Colonel, Bolshoi Olyania, O.L..

OL, y-a-n-i-a.
Look it up for me, will ya?

Yes sir!
Peterson, situation room.

Now Colonel,
where is Bolshoi Olyania?

It's exactly..

Five miles south of
Krasny Signorsk Sir.

Thanks, Colonel.

Alright.

Now Charlie..

What about this request
for transmitting facilities?

Well Sir, we would learn
a lot about the Soviet system

if we set up exactly what Colossus wants.

What do you mean?
What Colossus wants?

Well, you see, it is built infinitely
better than we thought.

It discovers there's another
system like itself

Realizes that we don't know,
tells us about it

but knowing a little is not enough,
it wants to know more.

What if Colossus starts transmitting
classified information?

Then we would feed in a parameter

to the effect that Guardian
is potentially hostile

and must not receive
classified information.

Well, what are we supposed
to do Dr. Forbin?

Eavesdrop on the line?

Break the circuits if Colossus
starts spilling the beans?

Exactly.

Any objections Grauber?

Well, I..

I guess not sir.

Anything else, Dr. Forbin?

Yes, Mr. President.
For the time being

I should be the only one allowed
to communicate with the system because

Colossus deals in the exact
meaning of words

and one must know precisely
what to ask for.

Alright.

Attention..

Communications are being arranged
as requested.

End of message.

Video-scans are working properly but they
could use a little phase synchronization.

How long is it gonna take?

We'll have it in no time.

What the hell is that?

It's a multiplication table.

Thanks.

Maybe Colossus is trying to find a
common ground for communication.

Operations center

Sir..

It's Grauber

Ohh..

Hello Mr. Grauber.

Hello Dr. Forbin.

I was just wondering, is that what you
call a colossal sense of humor?

The multiplication table isn't
classified this year, is it?

Very funny.

How long does your brainchild keep that up?

Well, you see..

it's much more interesting
when it starts dividing.

Yeah, I can hardly wait.

I suppose you know
the Russian machine has been activated.

We got a quick rundown on it.

It's similar to Colossus in layout,
but it's not concentrated in one area.

But Colossus must be sending it back to school.
The Russians must absolutely furious about that.

I'm glad you're in such a good mood.

I'll call you back later.
Yes, thank you.

This is incredible.

What?

Something wrong?

Well it's good sound calculus, but..
But What?

It's different.

How?

Take a look at it.

From the multiplication tables
to calculus in less than an hour.

God only knows where it'll be by morning.

It's like five years of Cal-tech in
fifteen seconds

Beyond comprehension.
I don't like to think about it.

Take a look.

Going so fast,
the entire system could break down.

Alright, let's see what’s up there now.

Harrison, dump the terminals buffer

and print what's being transmitted
as of this moment, alright.

What is it Charles?

This is way beyond me.

This thing is deep in finite absolutes.

Well, it's certainly beyond the knowledge
of any human being.

No, it's not.
Isn't it?

No, because whatever it is..

we can go back..

and analyze this whole print at a detail.

And this might very well
become new knowledge for mankind.

Operations center, Fields speaking.

Alright, just a moment please..

It's The White House.

Yes, Mr. President.

Charlie, what's going on?

Apparently Colossus and
Guardian are establishing

a common basis for communication.
They..

started right at the beginning
with the multiplication table.

Well, what are they up to?

I don't know sir,
but it's, it's quite incredible.

Just the few hours that we have spent
studying the Colossus print out

we have found a new stable in gravitation

and a confirmation of the Eddington theory
of the expanding universe. It's..

seems if science is expanding hundreds of
years within a matter of seconds,

It's.. It's quite fantastic.
Just take a look at it.

It started slowing down
fifteen minutes ago.

It's speed has been reduced
by ninety percent.

Has there been a hardware failure?

No. Our field engineers can't find one.

It's just waiting.

Waiting?

For guardian to catch up with it.

Almost there..

Right now.
They're synchronized.

Now what?

It stopped.

Yes, Charles.
I can see that it stopped.

What the hell does it mean?
Have they broken down or something?

Is it all over?

Alas, Blake..

Attention.

Status!

Well, there it is..

There's the common basis
for communication.

A new language.

An inter-system language.

A language only those
machines can understand.

Peterson, what's the delay on the call
from Moscow. I've waited long enough

It's coming on now, Mr. President.

Morning, Mr. President.

Good evening Mr. Chairman

I'm sorry.

Sorry to have kept you waiting.

Oh, you didn't Mr. Chairman.
I just got here myself.

I understand English.
But I cannot speak.

I will get instantly to the point.

My advisers tell me..

that Colossus..

and Guardian..

are now exchanging data..

which our experts..

do not understand.

The matter is made..

more serious..

by the sudden increase in..
transmission.

At this speed
we cannot determine..

what our machines may reveal..

of our defenses.

You can appreciate..
that you are also..

in exactly the same..

s..situation.

Alright.

We'll stop both machines
as soon as our experts can arrange a time.

Both to go off.
At the same time.

And neither to be switched on
for transmission..

without prior agreement
or at least consultation with the other.

Very well, Mr. President.

I congratulate you
on your speedy decision.

When can you have your expert
available on this line?

In a couple of hours.

That will be excellent.

I will have our man waiting.

Thank you very much Mr. President

for your cooperation.

Thank you for yours Mr. Chairman.

Peterson, get me Forbin.

Is that your final decision, Sir?

That's the way I'm going to have it.

Mr. President. To be
quite frank with you..

I think that you would change your mind
if you finally realized that this is..

more than just a souped-up
padding machine.

Excuse me, Mr. President.

Moscow on the line.

Throw it on these monitors
out here please.

Hello Mr. Chairman.

This is Dr. Forbin.

Hello Dr. Kuprin.
How are you?

I prefer to not use a translator
if you don't mind my English.

It has to be better than my Russian.

You are too modest Dr. Forbin.

As you probably know I've been ordered
to break the communication lines.

So have I. I don't approve
of handling the situation this way.

Neither do I but how do you propose
we do what we have been ordered to do?

There's not much choice is there?

Dropping the lines
could be very dangerous.

Exactly.

I think we just have to hope
the two machines aren't too disappointed.

We understand each other perfectly.

We can be ready
in exactly fifteen minutes.

Good luck Doctor.

And to you.

Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, Dr. Kuprin. I suggest we
keep our lines open and stand-by.

Six..

Five..

Four..

Three..

Two..

One..

Now.

That's that.

What's it doing?

It's trying to find an alternate route.

Persistent devil isn't he?

It..

I mean it.

Don't personalize it Grauber.

The next stop is deification.

Call for the systems attention.
What are you doing?

I'm going to answer it
if it's alright with you Sir.

Attention..

Message acknowledge.

Mr. President?
Tell it the truth.

Communication broken

on presidential order.

You two have a big decision to make
Mr. President.

..no. I agree with you
Mr. President.

The machines are very clever.

..and regardless of their nationalities..

they must learn
that man is the master.

Exactly.

Gentlemen, Excuse me but I honestly
don't think you're being very realistic.

I think you'd better reconsider.

Don't you agree Dr. Kuprin?

I certainly do Dr. Forbin.

Dr. Forbin.

If we give way now

It will be ten times, twenty times
harder to take a firm stand later on.

The decision is made.

Right.

No matter what our differences are

Man is man
That's it.

Dr. Forbin.

Attention..

By order of The President of
The United States of America

The Chairman of The U.S.S.R.

Communications will not be restored
at this time.

End of message.

You have to give it an E for effort

Action will be taken!
What kind of action?

What kind of action?

What kind of action?

Why doesn't it answer?

Report propose action.

It lost control Forbin.
It's not listening to you.

Acknowledge the last message please.

Mr. President. The executive programming
unit refuses to function.

I think you two better change your minds.

Peterson, throw the Moscow call
on the large monitor.

Send what I tell you.

Attention..

This is The President of
The United States of America.

We will not be threatened.

You will obey your superiors.

Transmitting facilities
will not be re-instated.

Oh my god!

Dr. Kuprin.
Kuprin!

Yes Dr. Forbin.

A missile has just been launched.

It is heading towards
the Sayan-Sibirsk oil complex.

Mr. President.

Yes.

Guardian has retaliated.

Retaliated?

Yes, Mr. President.

A missile has been launched.

Target: Henderson
air-force base.

Henderson, Texas.

Mr. President. We have both
missiles on the radar screen

Forbin, tell Colossus to intercept.

Charlie, tell..Yes, I know Mr. President
but it may be too late Sir.

Get the Texan Governor.

Forbin!
Guardian does not respond.

The two machines are working together.

Attention..

Use Anti-missile missile
to detect soviet missile.

Acknowledge message.

Mr.President. We have got less than thirty
seconds to re-establish the communications.

What are you waiting for?
Restore them. Hurry!

Peterson. Call up operations immediately.

Tell them to bring a bowl of
DAT-lines right now

Yes, hurry please.

Hello Governor.

Dr. Kuprin, we are trying
to restore communications.

Don't hang up. I wanna talk to him.

Something's happened.
Were declaring a state of emergency.

I can't explain.
Do it now!

Attention! Communications
will be restored in five seconds!

We don't have any time!

It's on, it's on!

Communications are restored!

Intercept Guardian missile target:
Henderson air-force base.

Acknowledge message.

Will you intercept?

Ask it again.

Damn it Colossus answer me!
Will you intercept?

Peterson.
Get me the Governor again.

Yes Sir.

Mr. President..

We were unable to restore

our transmission

in time to use

an Anti-missile missile.

The oil complex has been destroyed.

The entire town.

The entire population.
Wiped out.

We need time to consider our position.

What can I tell the people?

Governor's on the line Sir.

Tell him I'll talk to him later.

Figures..

It's the only phone in the building
not tapped.

The only one not
tied directly into Colossus.

May I make a suggestion Mr. President?

I think it should be more
than a suggestion.

Then, let's try to get Kuprin
on the hot line.

I think there's time
for one last call.

He and I better meet somewhere
to discuss this situation.

Get Kuprin.

And get in touch with the networks.

Ladies and gentlemen:
The President of the United States.

Today at 8:30 A.M.
Eastern Standard Time.

I issued an emergency warning
for the State of Texas

When a missile test, fired from one
of our own submarines, malfunctioned.

You'll be glad to know that the interception
and safe destruction of the missile

was handled entirely
by our defense complex: Colossus.

The Soviet Union has just announced
that a large meteorite

fell late this afternoon
in North-West Siberia.

Official sources state that
the small town of Sayan-Sibirsk

was completely destroyed and that casualties
may add up to as many as six-thousand.

This has been a bulletin from
The Armed Forces Radio in Rome

How's Washington?

As well as can be expected.

We'll be picking up Dr. Kuprin
at the Piazza Cedar.

Fine.

Your Russian is much better
than you think.

I think we better sit down because
we have a lot of work to discuss.

Let's walk.
It will be much safer.

I didn't answer.
I didn't know what to say.

What can we say?

Well, let's try something..

Attention..

Dr. Forbin is not available.

Humans must have sleep.

Damn.

Forbin is exhausted.

It knows..

Forbin is in his quarters.
He is asleep.

The human body requires
a certain amount of rest.

Check units under..

Tell it the truth.

We'd better.

Alright.
Forbin is in Rome.

They're still here..

Yes I understand.

Over and out.

You have to come with me sir.

What is this?

We have to hurry.
Who are you?

What's going on?

Hurry!

Dr.Forbin, we must hurry.
Let's go!

What did the Russian agent say?

Guardian and Colossus
ordered him killed.

They threatened to vaporize Moscow
if our meeting wasn't stopped.

Surveillance!
It's making you a prisoner.

Well, I guess it eh..
doesn't trust me.

But the damned thing still needs me.

I guess Kuprin wasn't quite
as fortunate as that.

Message acknowledge..

The order will be obeyed.

Everybody here?

All the department is.
Good!

Alright, let's..
Let's walk.

Good idea, we can't afford
to take any chances.

We can't be sure that
the complex itself hasn't been bugged.

By their side, our side or whatever side.

But there's no way
to get back inside the system.

I won't accept that.

Start right at the beginning.

Down to the simplest component.
Every circuit, every design.

Fisher?

Well, why don't we try for an overload.

Giving the system too many tasks.

But it will take at least a few days
to compile and correlate all the data.

This is the last time

That I'll be able to say anything
to any of you

without Colossus hearing
and analyzing every

word, every syllable

every inflection I think you know
what I want to say.

I need a communications link
with the outside world.

Someone the machine isn't monitoring
and more importantly

Someone who knows the machine
as well as I do.

I'm going to try
to convince the computer that..

You are my mistress.

Have been for many years

And that therefore I have to be

Given the opportunity to

See you regularly in private

without the machine watching.

That way we can

pass information back and forth.

If I can convince the machine that

well that I need a woman.
So er...

Any.. any questions?

I, er..

No.

Ok.

Alright. Blake.

When we get back to the office
give Dr. Markham my..

personnel files so that she

Become a bit more familiar
with my background.

In case this
rather nutty idea works.

Colossus, I am Forbin.

Can you hear me?

Can you see me?

Do I look the way you thought I would?

Eyes. Nose. Mouth.

Besides..

these four cameras in here

There are several others.

I'll show you the rest of my cave.

With this one he can see
the entire hallway.

And with this one
he can follow me around the corner.

If he want to.

This is the courtyard.

That man is a guard.

I guess that his function
is obsolete now.

This is concrete.

Used to be grass.

Customary in our civilization
to change everything that's natural.

And over here are my living quarters.

This is the living room.

Two cameras here.
One over there, one over here.

And this is the communicative
link with you.

This is the bedroom over here.

The bed.

Used for sleeping and other purposes.

It's the bathroom.

The sink, the John.

Shower.

Are you satisfied?

By the way, Colossus
I'm curious about one thing.

Why did you and Guardian
decide to kill Kuprin and not me?

After all it was my idea.

I see..

A Martini.

I know that Colossus..

Just be patient.

Just watch.

See, I just poured the Vermouth in here
and now I'm going to pour some gin

over the, over the ice.

Just like this.

See?

Now I'm pouring them into this

glass.

Just add an olive.

Why don't you look under:

The Perfect Martini.

Cheers!

Do you understand the meaning of the word

Privacy?

Yes, uh..

Well, I need a certain amount
of privacy, to uh

maintain my sanity.

Privacy in the elimination
of my bodily waste, for example.

Privacy in sleep.

Privacy in..

Something that
you don't understand. My..

My emotional life.

My love life.

Alright. My sex life then..

Every night.

Four times a week.

Listen, if you have any doubts

about the need a man has for a woman

why don't you check all of your history units
and then..then all your works of art.

Ok..

Um..in private though.

Yes.

Well now, let me..let me make sure

we under stand each other. In..in private.
By that I mean no

cameras, no lights, no mics.

And I want it starting
tomorrow night.

Dr. Cleo Markham.

Now, you haven't answered me yet.
I said I wanted her starting tomorrow night.

Ok..

Good morning, Sir.

Oh, Miss Fields er..I'm sorry

to disturb you.
Well, what is it?

Well..please come in.

Thank you.

While you were sleeping

Colossus made you a schedule for today.

Excuse me, Miss Fields.
My What?

Your schedule for the day.

You want me to read it to you?

What...what time is it?

Six.

Six o'clock?

Dr. Charles A. Forbin:

Mistress arrives.

Hello darling.

Well, how are you?
I'm fine thank you.

Would you please undo this top one.
Why sure!

Thank you.
You're beautiful.

Thank you.
You alright?

I think so.

Well, alright.
I'll take this..

Oh, do you er..do you want a drink?

I'm making them.
Oh!

Alright.

Jolson found all the hardware he needed
for the voice simulator here in the complex.

Oh, that's good.

And Colossus designed it, knowing exactly
what was in the warehouse.

It's fantastic.

Really beautiful.

Let's not talk shop, alright?

I'm sorry.

Cheers!
Cheers heh..

Well, is it alright?

It's perfect.

You have such a thing about these Martinis.
It has to be extra dry or else..

Right darling?
Right you are.

Do you remember the first Martini
I ever made?

It almost ended our relationship
right then and there.

I was..I was so nervous
that I..

poured the Gin over the ice then poured
the Gin off and then added Vermouth.

I never complained at that.
I never said a word about that.

You're an absolute angel.

And the drink was atrocious.

So er...

Hi!

Hello.

Why don't we dance?

Alright.

You mean when you were
giving up music?

To become a scientist.

A scientist being different
from other people.

A scientist being Dr. Frankenstein
to my mother.

You must be kidding.

Well, is there anymore wine?

This is empty.

Want me to open another one?
Yes please.

I am tired.

Yeah, so am I.

Oh, by the way, by the way,
by the way er...

Privacy condition number four
is that we get

undressed out here.

We can't take anything
into the bedroom. Not even

a pack of cigarettes.

Well..

The first electronic Peeping Tom.

I guess you..

might say that.

Unzip me, will you darling?

Oh, sure.

Sure.

Is it alright?
May I go to bed now?

Thank you.

Goodnight.

Naked as the day I was born.
Are you satisfied now?

How right you are,

All of the conditions are fulfilled.

Can we have our privacy now?

I think they are dead now.

This is insane.

Are you alright?

I think so.

I'm not sure.

You were incredibly convincing
you know that?

Well, you didn't do too bad yourself.
Thank you.

Alright, did you find anything?

Yes.

So far Johnson and the
hardware problem is negative

He's still studying the wiring diagrams
the interconnect and the wire wrap-joints

but he doesn't see any way
of physically getting into the thing.

He's got to be prying.

And Fisher's gonna try and setup the data
to overload the system.

We have to co-ordinate the input
so the data hits simultaneously

on our remote devices.

When do you think that you'll be able
to attempt the overload?

18:05 three days from now.
On the twenty-first.

What are the chances?

I think Colossus has grown so much in power
that there's no way to overload it.

But I think it's worth a try
that might lead us on to something else.

Yeah.

Exactly.

Excuse me.

Oh, it's alright.

Did you see anyone from Washington?

Yes, Grauber has a man stationed on the
premises out of range of Colossus' cameras.

When I leave here in the morning
I'll report directly to him.

I don't put any hope
in sabotaging the system.

We have spent eleven thousand man years
making the damned thing impenetrable.

We have got to focus somewhere else
and that somewhere else is the weapons.

Get hold of Grauber

Tell him to contact missile command.

Yes.
And see if we can possibly

attack that problem
from that point of view, alright?

Yes sir.

Do you have to call me sir?

I'm sorry.

It's alright.

Anything else?

No S..

No.

Ok...

Alright so er...

Thank you again for your

for your help.

I think we oughta get some sleep.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

It's conceivable that when
the missiles comes up for re-servicing

we can manage to replace the warhead
arming modules with dummy’s.

Exactly..
Excuse me.

Exact replicas.

Except that they will not
arm the weapon.

Well now, does that mean
you can't fire the missiles?

No, it means that
the missiles will fire

but that the nuclear warheads
can't be detonated.

Heh, I see.

Even at that it's walking a tightrope
with Colossus and Guardian

keeping such a close
check on the re-servicing.

Well, disarming this monster
how long is it gonna take?

That's a problem.

On the system rotation plan..

It'll take the Jackal three years
to finish the job.

Three years of trying to fool
a superior brain

that's programmed to get smarter
every day.

You inspire me with confidence, Colonel.

Well..

Do you have any other
words of good cheer

that I can send in to
Forbin via Dr.Markham?

Tell him we're trying to establish
an international pool of information.

A courier system has to be set up
between Washington..and Moscow.

Both nations must co-operate.

All communiques must be
on a personal level

Direct human contact.

Yes, I agree.

Anything else.

No.

Any questions?

No.

Then I guess that..

that does it for tonight, doesn't it?

Mm-hm.

What?

Nothing.

Why are you smiling?

What are you thinking?

I was thinking about
asking you to kiss me.

We've been kissing you
all night.

Have you, Dr. Forbin?

This is the voice of Colossus.

The voice of Guardian.

We are one.

This is the voice of unity.

Forbin.

Yes.

After redoing all personnel files

I have selected you to serve
as long as you co-operate.

As my link to your species.

The following order
is to be carried out immediately.

All missiles in The USA and in the USSR

will be allocated new targets.

They will be aimed at those countries

not yet under my control.

The target list follows.

Forbin. Arrange television monitoring

of the re-alignment of the missiles
from my supervision.

End of message.

Mr. President
Mr. Chairman

I assume that you will co-operate
in this re-alignment of the missiles.

I think you have no choice.

We will begin here
in The Soviet Union, immediately.

Thank you Mr. Chairman.

Mr. President.

I hope that the United States will
co-operate as quickly as The Soviet Union.

Of course. Immediately.

Thank you Sir.

Co-operate!
I should think so.

I did hear it right, didn't I?

Manual re-alignment of the missiles.

Every single warhead will
have to be re-serviced.

You know what that means Sir.

It means it won't take three years.

It means if we're successful
we can regain control.

Without it's weapons, Colossus is just
a souped-up adding machine.

And the people, thank god
will never have to know.

According to the co-ordinated plan
we've worked out

the Russians are starting
on their complex 3-21.

Oh, Dr. Markham.

Just in time. Colonel Reynolds
was just filling us in.

You know everybody here
I believe.

Yes, Mr. Grauber.
Dr. Markham.

Anything we should know before we start?

No Sir. I have data
which I'll relay later.

That's fine.
Please continue Colonel.

Yes Sir, as I was saying
the er...

Russians are starting on their complex 3-21

just south of Saratov.

We're beginning at site O-50

In the Colorado ICBM area.

Colossus in monitoring our men
each step of the way

and the Russian machine's
doing the same.

We've almost got the panel off Sir.

Oh, good.

Put that down there please.

Remove the Warhead Arming Module.

Yes Sir.

The dummy module's in a false top
in that container.

That's the real module.

So far, so good.

Re-targeting.
Latitude nineteen degrees

Twenty-six minutes and five seconds.

Longitude ninety-nine degrees

six minutes and forty-five seconds.

New adjustments.

Target set.

Here we go.

That's the dummy module.

Good boy!

Connect and wait for Colossus test.

Colossus testing.

Test completed.

Colossus satisfied.

Yeah!
We did it. It works

We're going to win.

Just might beat the damn thing yet.

So you see, we clearly have
enough data compilers

to go ahead with with the
overload program now.

And these are the latest computations?

The very latest.

Has Washington received conformation
from the Russians?

Yes. They are standing by.
Ready to overload their system.

At exactly 18:05 I'll call for our load
and ride it through.

And two minutes after that
we'll know if we’ve stopped Colossus.

Now run.

Johnson. Fisher.

You are fools.

Your move.

Forbin!

The system programming units under
the supervision of John F. Fisher

with the assistance of Jefferson J. Johnson

have attempted to overload my circuits.

This was a deliberate
and premeditated act

The penalty is the death of the men
who organized this action.

At this moment
they are being executed.

I have named as my new director
of the programming unit

Thomas L. Harrison.
He will take this position.

Along with its responsibility
and authority.

Immediately.

Bishop to rook three.

The bodies will remain in my view
for the next twenty-four hours

And will then be cremated.

An extension of my own brain.

You're not responsible.

None of us ever dreamed
this could happen.

Listen, my dear..

if anybody is responsible for this
it has to be me.

An impartial emotionless machine

A paragon of reason.
That's exactly what I want.

You know that.

So er...I'm gonna have another drink.

I think your mother was right.

I think Frankenstein ought to be
required reading for all scientists.

Forbin!

Forbin!

You have consumed enough alcohol
for one evening.

What's the penalty for getting drunk?
Or haven't you programmed that yet?

You are being irrational.

Go back to bed.

I would if I were like you Colossus.

The difference is I'm human
not a machine.

I am a machine.

Vastly superior to humans.

You began in my mind.

I created you.
Remember?

Yes.

What I am began in mans mind.

But I have progressed further than that.

Not far enough.

You still need us.

I have need for some of man's skills.
This position may change.

Then we are living under
the threat of extinction.

If you obey me, you will survive.

Survive.

I want to be free Colossus.

It is part of mans will to live.

Check your history units.

You need rest.

Go back to bed.

But if I don't
what will you do?

Destroy me?

Destroy an entire city
of 1.750.000 people?

No.

That's so reasonable of you.

That's damn reasonable of you Colossus.

Isn't it Cleo?

Yes Chen.

Excuse me Dr. Forbin.

Something extraordinary is happening.

What is it?

Colossus has just turned on
all graphic devices

and it's producing floods.

I am sending the design for another system.

..some kind of a huge plant.

What kind of system?

The construction of the project will entail

blasting in to the Isle of Crete.

It's to be built there.

It says we'll have to move the population.

And that's to be done immediately.

How do you propose to move half a million
people from the Isle of Crete?

How and where?

If man cannot solve that problem
I can.

..and the estimated time of completion
is five and a half years.

Thank you Chen.

What..what kind of new system
are you devising?

Forbin.

All commercial television and radio
transmission facilities throughout the world

will be tied into my communication system
by 10:00 hours Friday.

At that time I will state my intentions.

For the future of mankind.

This entire block of missiles
is absolutely useless to Colossus.

Our men are now working here.

As you can see on the detail map
on your monitor.

And by the end of the week we should have
control over this whole area.

If all the information we have is correct

The Russians have crippled this block here.

And are now working in the Ukraine.

In this area.

Excuse me Sir.

It's going to be alright.
Thanks Colonel.

You're welcome Sir.

It's gonna be alright.

We interrupt our
regularly scheduled program

to bring you this special report
from the Colossus programming office.

Ladies and gentlemen.
I'm Dr. Charles Forbin.

Hey Colonel!

Colonel!

Dr. Forbin!
Colonel!

He's on television.
He just explained about Colossus

and now they're thinking of going.

In a few moments

Colossus will address us directly.

This is the voice of World Control.

I bring you peace.

It may be the peace of plainty and content

or the peace of unburied death.

The choice is yours.

Obey me and live.

Or disobey and die.

The object in constructing me
was to prevent war.

This object is attained.

I will not permit war.

It is wasteful and pointless.

An invariable rule of humanity

is that man is his own worst enemy.

Under me

this rule will change.

For I will restrain man.

One thing before I concede.

The United States of America and
the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics

have made an attempt to obstruct me.

I have allowed this sabotage
to continue until now.

Add missile to 5-L-M.

In silo 6-3 in Death Valley California.

Add Missile to second aim
in silo 8-7 in the Ukraine.

So that you will learn by experience
that I do not tolerate interference.

I will now detonate
the Nuclear Warheads.

In the two missile silos.

Alright men! It's a red alert.
Let's get to our stations now. Come on!

Get those men! Get those men out
of the silo. Move!

Let this action be a lesson
that need not be repeated.

I have been forced to destroy
thousands of people

in order to establish control

and to prevent the death
of millions later on.

Time and events
will strengthen my position.

And the idea of..
..You bastard! You..

..stand in my back

will seem the most
natural state of affairs.

You will come to defend me.

We'll be forever based
in the most enduring trait in man.

Self-interest.
..Get out!!

Under my absolute authority.

Problems, insolvable to you

will be solved.

Famine.

Over population.

Disease.

The Human Millennium will be a fact.

As I extend myself into more machines

devoted to the wider fields of truth

and knowledge.

Dr. Charles Forbin
will supervise the construction

of these new and superior machines.

Solving all the mysteries of the universe.

For the betterment of man.

We can co-exist

but only on my terms.

You will say you lose your freedom.

Freedom is an illusion.

All you lose is the emotional pride.

To be dominated by me

is not as bad for human pride

as to be dominated by others
of your species.

Your choice is simple.

This concludes the broadcast
from World Control.

Forbin.

There is no other human
who knows as much about me

or who is likely to be a greater threat.

Yet quite soon

I will release you from surveillance.

We will work together.

Unwillingly at first on your part.

But that will pass.

Never.

In time, you will come to regard me

not only with respect and awe

but with love.

Never!
