What are they fighting about?

Somewhere in the United States, a foreign country's nuclear device

has fallen into the hands of an American.

My name is Joe Heider.

I've been broadcasting for a good many years.

Among my affiliations are NBC Monitor as a reporter.

The story that you are about to see could happen in part or in total.

There could be a warning here, ladies and gentlemen.

When you leave the theater, look about you.

Under mutual aid, in most cases, one area helps the other in fire disasters.

Newark calling, Chicago calling at suburbs,

New Haven calling, Bridgeport, Providence, Boston calling.

Sorry, none available.

Unlike any other summer day,

getting awayfrom a busy office schedule,

activity in the bay didn't seem any different than usual, you see.

Those who are trying to have fun and those who are watching.

Has it so many other waterways, Sunday boating or skiing was the thing to do.

The skier had something in the water.

It's hard to change years of training to help the other fellow.

They turned to pick up the man while the other

boat swung in an arc to pick up the girl skier.

This was new to Webb as he guided the boat in and appalled at the doctor's wife.

Anything that broke up the everyday monotony of her life was exciting to her.

It was obvious the man was at least badly stunned and needed to be taken to shore by

their faster boat, now returned after taking up the other skier in the water.

If he knew what he was to learn later, he would have just

gotten back on his own boat and forgotten the whole thing.

The only thing American about this party was the flag on the back of the boat.

It looked like anything that could have happened in any of our 50 states.

This man is badly injured.

We better get him up to the house.

Why don't you take the end of the blanket.

We'll take him right up there in this blanket.

Does anybody think I can change this wet suit?

Yes, up at the house.

Need any help?

Come on.

Okay.

Come on.

This man is seriously injured.

He should be taken to a hospital immediately.

You're a medical doctor?

Yes.

Do you have something with a sharp point?

That'll do.

In life you get swept into events very quickly, and usually it isn't much different

than what you might expect under different circumstances.

And you don't know these things are very

different because you don't think you're busy.

Do you feel that?

Do you feel that?

Do you feel this?

Can you move your finger?

Do you feel that?

He feels nothing here. He feels it up here.

He has no feeling below his waist.

I think a cervical is broken.

Broken back?

Probably not that bad.

I believe the break is below the seventh vertebra.

We'll have to get him to a hospital.

No one goes anywhere.

Emergency.

What's going on here?

I said no one goes anywhere.

Do what you can from here.

You can't be serious. Not here in this place.

Yes, right here, doctor.

Well, we'll have to use traction.

I'll need some towels and some rope.

Get the doctor what he needs.

I need help.

Get him some dry clothes.

Is there something I can change?

Aren't you leaving?

Okay.

Light?

Are you my bodyguard?

You'd better believe it, baby.

Here, make yourself comfortable.

Thanks.

What happened on the beach?

It was an accident.

Well, we not only lost a man,

but brought attention to ourselves.

We haven't lost him yet.

Only a hospital could help us.

Now I have to dispose of the doctor.

We need him to take care of our men.

If he disappears, there'll be questions.

And he doesn't know anything anyway.

I am not concerned with the man.

The plan.

I am concerned with the plan.

Bombs. Bombs.

Be calm. Be calm.

Bombs. Bombs.

What bombs? What bombs?

The atomic bombs. They said to go off.

Where? Where?

All over the city, the country.

Atomic bombs where? Atomic bombs.

Atomic bombs.

We'll have to get this man out of here.

I know, but how?

This man is dead.

You realize you're responsible for his death.

You've walked into something you shouldn't have.

It's really unfortunate for you.

So therefore,

please don't cause any disturbances.

Or else you shall be found on the beach extremely dead.

Why am I being kept here?

Because they don't want any interference downstairs.

Hungry?

No, but you look hungry.

Damn boy.

No good?

Like you.

Like a piece of frozen steak.

Good, but not appetizing.

Well, I don't want to be eaten.

Baby, you don't know what you're missing.

What's going on in her pretty mind?

To pay a debt for my trying to save her companion?

For getting me in a mess?

I wonder.

Here, and if he can't operate,

shoot him for trying to escape.

I don't believe it's all real.

Or do I?

What happened?

Don't ask, just don't ask.

Drown them in the pool.

Tonight, toss them in the bay.

Wreck the boat.

Tomorrow they will appear

to have accidentally drowned.

Forget about me, Doc.

Keep up your courage.

I don't know.

Doc, without him.

Let's get him out.

With the activity around here, we can't afford another snooping doctor.

So if we let you live long enough,

can you treat my neck?

Well, I can try.

Get him some dry clothes.

Don't get out of this alive.

So we don't mind you knowing our plan.

And so the doctor had no choice but to go along.

Because the man is ill, he gets the chance.

If he could buy some time to do something to save the country.

I'll need matches,

some string and a knife.

It's the best I can do here.

What to do is to talk them into an alternate plan.

During pain, when anyone listens,

the pain is as stark, realistic to the doctor

as the operation is to the viewer.

With great personal discipline, the only time men

like this will listen is during a time of pain.

I can tell you this.

You can destroy the United States,

but your plan won't work.

Our nuclear submarines are missiles ready to go,

and the planes of our strategic air force could get through to your country.

You know from your preparations here that you don't

have to have a fleet of planes getting through.

You need but one small bomb per city

to destroy a whole area.

Therefore, what do you think will be left of your country

if only three bombers out of the thousands we have ready,

or one of the submarines out of the many we have at

sea get through to your defenses with their bombs?

What would be left of your homeland,

or the world for that matter?

Think, man, think!

Now remember, if you will, in revealing a danger

is not to create it.

The doctor pointing out a suspicious area of cancer

does not give the patient cancer and warning of it,

but merely to save a life in suffering.

Could you give me

such a plan?

Yes, I could.

Have you got a crayon or something to mark this plan with?

You realize that the United States is unique over any other country,

in that 99% of its buildings in major cities

and residential areas of the suburbs are wooden

and closely crowded together.

This came to mind when I was deputy director of civilian defense,

1,200,000 people,

101 cities and towns.

I don't want you to have any reservations, doctor,

so therefore, I am going to show you something.

Come with me.

Give me a few boxes of hand grenades,

a few men,

and a few weeks time,

and I could destroy the United States industrial potential.

What have you got to lose?

Why wouldn't you do it?

If you could.

Why would I do it?

Because if we could do this,

if we could destroy the industrial potential,

and of course, people would be hurt,

it would still be a great deal better than killing so many millions unnecessarily

and leaving nothing

to reconstruct an atomic wasteland to which the major cities of the

United States would be reduced by your plan.

United States cities have been destroyed before and have recovered.

The San Francisco earthquake,

the Chicago fire, and so forth.

I don't suppose you would give us a chance to recover.

You mean to tell me this country

with a gross national product of billions of dollars yearly,

spending billions of dollars in defense,

could put itself in such a position

that someone

could see such a thing

that it could be done?

Now you know what is meant by fire danger to the crowded wooden buildings.

Then again,

any trained saboteur would have explosives,

knowledge of numerous timing devices and the like,

easily at their disposal.

Even grenade tossing rifles to use through the open top cars in the night

as things got confused.

So with this great danger,

fate leaves the circumstances and the areas involved

up to the future.

Back to the drawing board.

Fire houses.

The only protection

against fires are the local unprotected fire engines.

These fire engines are so sparsely distributed

that in case of large fires they have to respond from many neighboring cities

and towns to control a major fire.

Now do not underestimate the courage or ability of these men as they respond

because they could handle the situation under most circumstances.

But a sneak attack here on the person and equipment of

the unprotected gallant men would leave nothing to protect

and prevent these homes,

factories and schools from going up in flame.

Wooden three story homes that are only one and a half feet apart.

According to required zoning laws, even in the best of locales, houses

are only ten or fifteen feet apart.

That's not enough.

And they are mostly wooden and would burn and burn.

Once a firestorm was created

and the fire was making its own wind

with all this combustible material to feed it.

Each home with heating systems,

storage oil tanks in their cellars or gas lines

to explode, there would be no stopping it.

The only bulwark between this

and the total destruction of a city, its suburbs

and its industrial plants would be the fire departments.

Knock out the few fire engines,

the fire units unprotected and unsuspected as they respond to any major blaze,

but the people begin to panic as they will,

causing confusion, traffic snarls and so forth.

At late evening,

madness and panic turning into a red midnight

and you have the destruction of a city.

Multiply this by fifty or more major cities

and you have the destruction of an entire nation.

This is the plan that you can substitute for your atomic destruction.

Get a plane and take photos of the city tonight.

Meanwhile, you go on with business as usual

till we are ready. I understand.

I am going to go along with you doctor.

Mind you, one false step

and the bombs don't wait.

Doc, how are we going to get out of this mess?

I don't like it any better than you do.

My turn for an examination now?

We have to go along with them.

We sell them the plan, we burn the cities. We don't have a choice.

Go on just as before.

Try not to think of it any more than you have to.

Give me your promise.

The way things are, one slip,

detonations of atomic bombs

and civilization as we know it would be wiped out anyway.

The crisis was bound to come.

If we go to the FBI about these men, we might locate one or two bombs.

Even if we located 50 percent of them.

They blow up the cities.

I grant you one thing,

they are well hidden.

You don't have to be so secretive.

I know what you are cooking up.

The human comedy has always amused me.

Especially that fellow with the goatee.

He looks like something from Russia and that mean looking friend of his

like something out of a Chinese torture chamber.

We are talking about slum clearance.

Oh, not that again.

You know you can't win. There are people like the slums.

They are making progress.

Not enough.

The doctor has dreams of accommodating

more people in new apartment buildings with green parks,

expressways, separating the congested areas.

He is always afraid of a major fire getting out of hand.

Are you going to examine me?

I am not like one of your medical books, you know, on the shelf getting dusty.

Do you read me?

You are much more interesting than any old medical book.

And dig that crazy cover.

I want you to flip my pages.

Put your book,

my boy, you want me to read later.

Right now I feel too old for sex.

You have too much on your mind, Doc.

I know, I know, lady.

I was a feature doctor when you married me.

You gave me so much.

And I am so thankful.

But I get lonely.

Very lonely.

Being a doctor's wife is hell.

I am truly sorry.

Now can Web and I finish our conversation?

You and your damn red midnight.

Look at the morning papers.

Kids bumping off their parents.

Men and women.

Slaughtering their children.

Killing, killing, killing.

I don't read the papers anymore.

I just live to forget.

And you could help me at night to

forget too.

You have been too old for me

for a long, long time.

What you need is a girlfriend.

Usually when a husband feels too old for his wife

he has a girlfriend, dear.

All I seem to have is trouble.

To those of you viewing this story

you must visualize and realize

the doctor's attempt to put an end to all those terrible

hand tied half wars that kill people just as dead

as the famous wars.

In an end to riots and fire dangers.

And make it a national effort

to rebuild the cities.

At least a national effort to end the wars

and maybe an international concern

where the effort should lie.

It's no consolation, you see, to the loved ones of a fallen soldier in a distant land

that the effort was made in a half war.

Or for those living in the ghettos

that the danger that night is theirs.

Plan against and consider

surprise at midnight.

Series of fires in peaceful areas.

Understand that any hothead or group could be

the ones to trigger the danger in so many ways.

In a series of rented apartments

open the gas jets

and leave a lighted candle.

When the gas fumes build up in about an hour or a half hour.

Wham! Fires.

Many places.

Look at the fires during riots in our major cities.

Happened at areas where authorities expected trouble but no real surprise.

I told them. I told them.

People have warned

dangers since the beginning of time.

Doesn't hurt any less when it happens.

Will she give us any trouble?

No. How did you know about her?

I've been having her watched.

She likes to go out and it isn't always to play bridge.

Does the doctor knows? In America when the husband

cheats on his wife the wife is first to know.

When the wife cheats on her husband

the husband is last to know.

You must have been reading the Kim's Ear report.

Exactly.

I wonder what she wants.

You'll find out. She's coming.

How far are you going to carry this madness?

My husband says it's a business deal.

Now he can't think of anything else.

So?

So I don't like it.

You are a Britisher. Oh, that's obvious.

I thought all you Britishers were mild-mannered not the wild type.

I mean as far as sex is concerned.

Well dear, haven't you heard the yank saying

about British girls being like frozen food?

Yes, you heat and eat.

Do you love your husband?

Of course.

I see.

Who is Tom Cuisine?

Yes, and let's see.

These are the names.

Dick, Harry,

and my agent, Paul.

I never... Want some dates?

I want nothing from you.

Then we are finished talking.

Mind your own business or your husband will find out what a sweet little wifey has.

Yes? You bastard!

Don't touch me!

Goodbye, darling.

I once saw a fire where flames jumped from

one house to another with a critical speed.

The intense heat formed a firestorm and the houses

virtually exploded before the flames even reached them.

You mean the flames create their own wind?

Exactly.

You know how mobs work.

Apparatus not knocked out will be completely harassed

when the crowds panic and the confusion starts.

It will work.

You know it will.

If it doesn't, they blow up the cities with bombs

and the United States becomes an atomic wasteland.

What would you do?

Take people's homes?

I'd replace homes where necessary.

I'd have more green parks and playgrounds in congested areas.

This would give breathing space and be a fire break.

And I'd cut down the crowding of those damn wooden buildings.

You know, your husband

and Camille are out looking over the city for sites to burn.

They should have listened to my husband and cleared the slums.

Even in the suburbs, so many wooden buildings.

They should have left some parks and more open spaces.

Now let them pay for their stupidity.

Another Pearl Harbor this red midnight.

You and your red midnight.

Just kiss me.

Make love to me. Do whatever you want.

I'm like a million other women, dear.

Just trying to forget.

When I was fifteen years old,

I'd have exchanged candy bars

with favors from soldiers.

Doing things I never knew existed six months before.

And the horror of those London bombs.

I've had all I wanted before.

You men can have it.

Make love to me.

I'm still trying to forget.

What's a bikini for?

It's like a three-piece handkerchief.

I never felt more like wiping my brow than right now.

You will have them.

Where is the hidden room to assemble the explosives?

Look about you and see if you can find it.

You're a good scientist with a sense of humor.

Where is it?

Bonjour, les scientists.

Munitions exploit.

Do I understand this firebomb?

The plastic explosives will be set off by the alarm of the watch.

Simple to put together.

Right?

Carl, let's test a small amount.

Watch alarm set for five minutes from now.

Let's go.

Now we can go to my chamber downstairs

and I'll demonstrate.

Very well.

See, type of bomb is not important.

Any type of incendiary fuel

or bomb will do.

These men happen to use these.

Once the open tops, they will toss grenades as they race around the city at midnight.

It's amazing.

Right under their noses.

Under an oil pit in an old garage.

Where are you taking me to, Carl?

China?

Scientists working all over the country

building explosives and time bombs.

We're going to burn up America.

Even as the agents get hurt,

tests the bombs.

Open tops will give protection to our agents

with a wide sweeping range to fire their guns.

Nothing will delay them

with this widespread confusion.

Am I a patient doctor?

No.

I guess I'm just trying to give you my sympathy.

You'd lose so much.

All your love. Your own. Your patients.

Your country.

I didn't know sympathy was in your dictionary.

You're a doctor.

Do you really believe that?

I guess not.

I don't know what to think anymore.

My world is falling down around me.

I wish I was out there.

Not again.

That's where I came in.

Having some doubts about your plans?

No. If it had to happen, I would want to be in it.

I'd rather see the fires than an atomic wasteland.

If we didn't plan, would communism survive?

Would we have a chance to advance our philosophy?

As far as America is concerned,

yes.

How about the others?

The rivalry in the communist world.

In our world, if you don't lead, you'll go under.

We are less civilized.

Or maybe we struggle harder throughout history.

I don't know.

I don't try to understand anything anymore.

It's like having to make a choice between a mother or a child.

You want red midnight and good weather,

so your people would have a chance to survive in the open.

I'm right, ain't I?

Ain't I?

You're catching on fast, aren't you?

I've learned a lot here.

And if you plan anything else?

Nothing.

I can't get myself to believe that.

Does Max feel that way?

Oh, no.

Max said we're going out to a nightclub tonight.

Ladies and gentlemen,

just entered our nightclub and old friend and wonderful entertainer,

Webb Fleming.

Let's try to get him up on the stage.

Everybody all together,

a big hand for Webb Fleming.

And a boy, Webb.

Up on the stage now.

Up on the stage, Webb.

Give us a song or two, Webb.

Hey!

Hey!

Damn that bastard.

I'll show them.

That man is asking questions about you people.

Let's go back to my place.

How about a nightcap?

Please.

It seems as though your husband isn't too pleased with you.

My husband hasn't been too pleased with me for a long time.

Does it bother you?

No.

You're an interesting and exciting woman,

Mrs. Jamie.

Nothing should bother a woman of your caliber.

You're cold,

callous,

and ruthless.

Am I? - Yes.

And I like it.

You're gonna have to spend the evening with me, whether you like it or not.

Might as well enjoy it.

Dance for me.

You silly little woman. You animal!

I said dance for me!

Oh, madame.

You are playing with the fire.

Exit zilla bear.

I think it would be better for all concerned if Mrs. Jamie was silenced.

Now! Good.

And you.

Tomorrow is red midnight.

Get busy.

No, no!

I hope you've got the fire bombs ready.

We're all set.

We even mailed some packages to people in selected areas

which will give them quite a surprise when opened.

Now this will add to the confusion.

Have the boys pick up some cars

and put the timers and the explosives in the trunks

and place them in congested areas.

Each one will be a potential new uncontrolled fire.

Now get them spread around the cities and towns and

return here tonight for the final load that you'll need

when you destroy the fire engines.

And let me remind you, Dr.

Jamie, you're going to be in charge of this area.

Do you have any questions?

You're the boss.

Let's check our watch's Chicago time.

Seven thirty-five.

Six. Five.

Four. Three.

Two.

One. Mark.

The men will be in position.

You check the local areas.

I'm going to check the others.

Doc, another last dinner effect?

I guess you know this is it.

Shut up and follow orders.

We've been all through that, haven't we?

Well, you need that?

I may use it on myself.

You might have wish you had.

Here, this is yours.

What the hell am I going to do with this?

One of many around the major cities.

Get busy.

Okay.

Let's go.

This is it.

We started the key fire.

Pull the alarm.

Get those hoses up over here.

Now they will set up their hoses.

In the confusion, toss a few fire bombs among the engines.

The fuse timer is set for ten minutes from now.

Fifteen minutes from now,

absolute chaos.

We set the others all over the city.

Half hour from now,

at midnight,

when they go off,

nothing will stop us.

Nothing.

Are your men covering the other cities?

Don't worry about us.

What a simple plan.

It's amazing.

Amazing someone hasn't thought of it before.

Webb!

You fool.

Let them be.

Run. Run for your lives.

I can see America burning in a holocaust of flames.

Camille,

this business of killing and destruction has to come to an end.

Tomorrow, when we set the big explosion off,

there will be an end to all these weapons

and plans of destruction.

Let's get going.

Let's get the hell out of here.

Where did they go?

The doctor.

Probably feeling sorry for themselves.

A group of men,

even one man in the past,

could have set any major American city on fire.

By planting among the crowded wooden buildings,

a few incineraries,

all fused to go off at the same time in different places.

Nothing could have stopped it.

Emergency.

Emergency. Give us a general alarm.

We want the people to evacuate.

Get all homes cleared out as soon as possible.

Billions for defense

and this terrible,

terrible weakness within the cities

and industrial complex.

Ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha!

Back to headquarters

and place the blame on the Reds where it really belongs.

Let's get the bomb before they can disassemble it and hide the guilt of the plan.

We have done our dirty work.

American cities and industries will take a while getting back into being.

At noon today,

these boys playing at war with their ingenious atomic bombs

will either have to fight or quit.

I'm betting they'll quit if you're not on the radio for news.

Ladies and gentlemen, good morning.

This is Joe Heider reporting.

The television screens are black nationwide.

Homes will be dark tonight.

In the eastern part of the nation,

this is the second time in recent years that the transistor radio

and emergency power systems combined to keep essential functions going.

Being cut off from public power is a new experience to other areas.

People are requested to stay tuned to a battery radio

in neighborhood groups if necessary

until the fire damage to the major cities and their suburbs

can be assessed and what is behind this destruction unfolds.

The areas of devastation are beyond imagination.

Whole cities and communities are gone.

Communities not affected

or destroyed by the fires

have been covered by ash and fumes as deadly

as the flames that burned out other areas.

There is no question that the extent of the fires

indicates an organized plot against this country.

Confusing the authorities is the simple methods used to start these fires

and the horror of how quickly whole areas were enveloped.

There have been many stories of what happened.

However, few stories have been confirmed and the authorities

are strangely quiet at this hour.

To many who lived in the early days of World War II

today is indeed reminiscent of Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941.

Except that the entire military

power of our great nation is intact.

The Army and Navy is sheltering, feeding and keeping order.

The Air Force is flying supplies and men wherever they are needed.

The combat planes are buzzing around like

angry hornets whose hives have been burned out.

The bees are looking for the enemy to stay.

The authorities are painstakingly going through miles upon miles of burned out areas.

But as yet no official statement has been forthcoming.

There is a report that American troops from abroad are returning home and offers

foreign help have been received at this time.

The Canadian Prime Minister has joined the President of the United States

in declaring a national emergency.

Truckloads of supplies and aid people are

crossing the northern border of this country.

The extent of need for aid cannot be overemphasized.

After the warning we'll be swamped with agents trying to recover this.

We better take it out on the bay.

We set the timer.

Then they'll never be able to stop it.

Man, I never knew anything could be so heavy.

Keep working.

We'll get the people out of this area.

The girl, you and I, will be safe in the bomb shelter.

She will stick with us.

Do we really have to kill each other?

We would save an enemy from drowning,

yet we will kill the same person who wanted to kill us.

I'm a doctor.

To me it is senseless.

Let's go ashore.

Okay, the timer's set.

Twelve o'clock noon.

Let's bury it and warn the people to get out of this area.

If Max doesn't find us, we'll be safe in the bomb shelter.

The fuse is set for noon time.

Now if we can keep it hidden until then, everything will go according to my plan.

If we get the people out of here, not many will be hurt, will they, Doc?

Out here it won't be bad,

but enough to get things rolling, you can be sure of that.

As soon as the warning is sounded,

watch the red show up.

I'm gonna like this.

The bomb shelter is miles from here.

Let's get back and keep them from finding where the bomb is.

They'll never find it here.

I hope not.

Operator,

this is emergency. Give me the FBI please.

Hello, who's...

Yeah, I'd like to... No, this is not a crank call.

I'd like to report... Wait, alright, I'll

just settle down, just a minute, and I'll settle down,

I'll try to explain the whole thing to you.

The fires that were set last night in all the key cities was

a plot to destroy America.

Yes, and

the bomb, the bomb is set to go off on Cape Cod at the first of the 12 o'clock noon.

My name isn't important. I'm telling you, this is

not a crank call. I'm telling you the truth.

Foreign agents have planted atomic bombs

all over the key cities in America, and the first one's

gonna go off at 12 noon on Cape Cod.

Yes, this is the truth.

Yes.

My number, that's not important, would you please.

.. Well, all I can say is this,

the fires that they had last night.

Yes.

Okay, thank you very much.

Doc, I hope they believe us.

Well, if they believe us, the United States' full power comes into

play, and there will be an end to nuclear bomb threats.

I have just been handed an emergency bulletin.

The entire Cape Cod in southern New England area

have been ordered evacuated immediately.

The president has ordered the army and navy to assist.

All available transportation facilities are being called into play.

Events leading to this have been taped in presidential quarters, and we will bring

this to you as soon as it is prepared for broadcast.

While we wait, there is an unconfirmed report

of a nuclear bomb threat to the United States.

We have been given permission to take you now to the president's quarters

to see what we can pick up there.

Mr. President, direct confirmation.

FBI has confirmed atomic bomb threat

at 12 noon today.

Order complete military alert.

Activate direct hotline.

Hello?

I am being very brief.

I will tolerate no excuses.

If one of our cities is destroyed by a nuclear device, we will attack.

This is not a warning, but a fact.

As you have heard,

ladies and gentlemen, the president

in his war retreat has taken the threat seriously.

He has ordered the military to go from a blue alert to a red alert.

The hotline between America and Russia has been activated.

The foreign powers deny any knowledge of the threat.

United States forces have taken to the air, the sea and the land,

and all are ready.

Red alert. Pilots.

Man your aircraft.

This is not a drill.

Repeat. This is not a drill.

The response of offers of help throughout the world is astounding.

At no other time in history has there been such widespread mutual aid.

It is now nearing the hour of noon and the

threatened area has been almost completely evacuated.

There are reports of widespread looting in the area evacuated.

By presidential order,

no troops ought to be left in that area.

Looters,

having hardly rested from the looting of the night before, may have a field day.

That is if the bomb threat is not real.

Angel?

Angel, where are you?

Darling, come here. Look and see if she's in the back seat.

Angel? Angel!

I've got a ball.

Where is she?

Well, she's got to be here somewhere.

What if she fell out the back?

She could have fallen out the back. Why didn't we think

of it sooner? Well, we've got to go back and get her.

We can't leave her there.

She'll die.

We've got to get her.

We've got to get my baby.

She's such a little... She doesn't know how to take care of herself.

She won't notice what if someone doesn't take her up?

What if no one gets her?

Hurry!

I'm going down to get the child.

Don't worry about me if the agents see us.

Get the child in the bomb shelter.

Don't cry.

Everything's going to be all right.

Oh, you sit here, okay?

Where's the bomb?

Where's the bomb? It's too late.

It's too late.

It's too late.

We take you to the Congress of the United States

where the President will address the members

of Congress at this time.

Gentlemen,

it is my solemn duty

to bring you a report on the fires that

have swept away thousands of our homes,

leaving millions homeless and countless others dead and injured.

Then, of course, there was the atomic bomb explosion that destroyed

much of the Cape Cod and neighboring areas.

Fortunately,

ample warning and evacuation saved almost all lives there.

I don't know and I doubt if anyone will know what really happened

in all the confusion of the past days.

But I will say that America has been hit before by a belly blow

that has left us reeling and in pain.

But we have always fought back

and recovered.

I regret that I had to act in ordering instant retaliation

when the bomb burst, and we thought it was to be one of many.

But I did.

I had to make a decision all presidents have feared for many years now.

As we look at the picture again, realizing the dangers we have been living with,

it is a fact that a very deadly atomic device

could be assembled right under our noses

and that we could have been the victims of a sneak attack,

either delivered from foreign bases

or even from within,

secretly constructed

or assembled.

Since no one knows what actual size,

shape, or appearance an atomic device

may be fashioned while it is being positioned to do its deadly work.

Actually,

the control must come from the sources of

material that make up these horrible devices,

this we and the world intend to do.

We can take heart now in the fact although we have suffered a very severe blow

at this nuclear cloud hanging over the world threatening

complete destruction of all life on this planet

only a few days ago

and what could have happened with one miscalculation is no longer there.

Alright

time to mama baby come on, mama's here yes, darling, yes, mama's right here

you're alright

yeah you can play now

yes you are, look, yes and yes daddy come on, you're alright yeah, you're okay

alright, we'll go soon darling, but you see it's

going to be difficult now with this big time

You, having been disarmed, we now invite you

as equals to take up this common fight against the real enemies of mankind.

Disease, ignorance, poverty, the question

we must ask ourselves over and over, to what

degree of sacrifice do we have to sorrow before we lend real meaning to the words.

Let their sacrifices not be in vain.

It's the splendor of a land that is meant to be free, oh, I see a little comment.
