General's aboard.

Good morning, Sir. How are you?

- Welcome aboard.
- How are you? Thanks very much.

Good morning, everybody,
stand easy, please.

How is everybody today?

Good.

Can I have the key?
Thank you very much.

Fire headquarters, missions?

Be informed today, we have one
flying from Hickam to Kadena.

8 F-4s, 4 K.C.-135s

were executed by the sac
underground at 4:15.

04:15 this morning.

The president
is located at camp David.

The commander-in-chief of Europe
is out of position until the 21st.

And the vice C-in-C
is at Andrews for the day.

He'll be back later this evening
at approximately 19:00.

Ok, this is the current
world intelligence situation.

And you might pay
particular note

to the, uh, nuclear submarines
off the east and west coast.

Ok.

This is S.K.-1 command post with
communications check. How do you hear me?

Complete the review
of those after we take off.

Yes, sir.

You are cleared for takeoff.

Care for some coffee, general?

Yeah, sure.

The west has been unanimous

in condemning the Soviet action

and applying economic sanctions,

which has not stopped the growing
Soviet military presence

along the west German frontier.

NATO intelligence sources report

a massive buildup of infantry
and armored divisions

along the Elbe river, and extending all
the way south to the Czech border,

which the United States fears
could seriously jeopardize

the current round of strategic
arms reduction talks.

The Soviet ambassador declared
the maneuvers to be

the usual Warsaw pact
training exercises.

Ambassador Schiffrin told him

that explanation was unacceptable

and called the action "provocative."

Ambassador Kuragin.

"Provocative"?

You call us "provocative"

when you Americans
have 260,000 soldiers,

and 7,000 nuclear weapons

poised on the other side
of our border?

A lot of kids are born with it.

But we can do something
about it these days.

Now here's the problem.
The septa don't meet properly.

The aorta's rising
from the right ventricle,

and the pulmonary from the left.

We go in here and make
a nice little hole

between the 2 sides of the heart

to allow the blood
to carry enough oxygen

to the rest of the body.

Can you schedule it for Saturday?

No way. I'm pulling 36 hours
straight up at Lawrence,

starting tomorrow.

Hello, Joe.
What did you have for lunch?

Oh, I had turkey with yams,

beans, cranberry sauce...

Nurse said she's getting me
some ice cream,

but she didn't come back.

What flavor do you like best?

Vanilla.

Coffee, if they ain't got vanilla.

You heard the man.
Let's find him his ice cream.

Hey, any of you guys hear
anything about an alert?

Not this weekend, buddy.
I'm going fishing.

When Coop goes fishin',
he generally falls in love.

When you fall in love,
you fall in love.

Every weekend you fall in love.

What's wrong with you, Coop?

Ain't you got no self-control?

Come to think of it,

I could use a nice, quiet weekend.

Weekend, hell, buddy.
I got 30 days paid.

Me and Maureen is gonna take
a skip on down to New Orleans.

I wouldn't go makin' any big
travel plans for a while.

Is that an order?

Just a feeling.

We are so late.

- Bruce, give me my vest.
- Look.

Oh, gee.

I gotta get my shoe.

Hurry up!

Your dad's gonna kick my butt
if we're late for this thing.

Would you hurry?

My hair is gonna be a mess.

Ok.

- All right, get on.
- Ok.

Let's go.

- Hang on!
- Ok.

If I know Bruce,
he's gonna make a grand entrance.

We should have told her
to come with us.

Well, they probably just wanted
a little privacy.

Privacy?

You know, dad. Privacy.

Jolene, that's disgusting.

What did I tell you?

And you thought
they weren't coming, reverend.

Well, I figured
they'd show sooner or later.

Ooh, does your old man
look ticked or what?

I told you! I told you!

Hello!

Where have you two been?

- Hey, mom!
- Sorry, Mrs. Dahlberg.

Hi, reverend Walker.

Hey, buddy. Keep this in your pocket
till I ask you for it.

- You got that?
- You bet.

Hi, Bruce.

Well, shall we all get started?

I'm sorry we're late.

Sparrow 3-5 requesting
permission to land.

Sparrow 3-5,
this is Oscar one control.

You're cleared to land,
winds are 230 at 10.

Roger, Oscar one.

What are you bringing in?

Dropping off a maintenance team.

There's no site checks due, sir,
no problems with the personnel,

- no weather reports.
- Sounds good.

Stand ready to authenticate.

Delta, echo, foxtrot,
golf, hotel, victor.

Thank you.

- How's it going?
- Good.

- How's the weather topside?
- Oh, just fine.

- Morning.
- How are you doin'?

What do you have for us today?

Everything looks to be normal.

L.F. Status?

All facilities are clean and green,

with the exception of Oscar 11.

We have maintenance on site
for 2 more hours.

Gee, dad, your schedule's busier
than the president's.

Maybe I should run for office.

What, do I have to make an appointment

for open heart surgery or something
to get an hour with you?

Hey, what's eating you, fruitcake?

Oh, I'm sorry, I'm just jumpy.

Don't say I sound like mom, please.

You saw 60 minutes last night.

No. Come on, I'm taking you

someplace you work right next to,

and I bet never been inside
in 15 years.

Well, come on.

Sometimes it's hard to know
how to experience a Chinese landscape

because the artist doesn't tell you
where you're watching from,

like in a Turner,
or a Corot or something.

You know why?

Because he wants you
to be in the landscape,

a part of it,
not out here looking at it.

You mean a God's eye
point of view.

No. Well, yes,
if by God you mean

everywhere and inside
sort of thing, yeah.

You've got that funny in-between look.

In between what?

In between knowing whether
you should tell me something or not.

Ok, daddy.

I'm moving to Boston.

How come?

See? That's why
I didn't wanna tell you right away.

I have to deal with your hurt
feelings, and mom's, not just...

All I asked was why.

Pop, it's time for me to leave home.

But you haven't been
living at home for 2 years.

An apartment 26 blocks away

isn't exactly Independence,
Missouri, you know.

Of course, choosing Boston
wouldn't have anything to do with...

- What's his name?
- Gary.

Gary starting Tufts medical this fall?

No.

Well, maybe a little.

But it's not like we're going to be

living together or anything.

At least not right away.

Growing up,
it's like growing apart.

Maybe it's a natural phenomenon.

Have you told your mother?

Uh, tomorrow.

I thought I'd start with you
and work my way up.

Oh, I'm easy.

Easier.

It's not so easy, you know.

What?

Saying goodbye.

If I go re-booking that plane ticket,

man, I'm gonna lose my super saver.

Don't know why you're flying
to New Orleans anyway.

You ought to drive down.

Visit all those pretty nice old plantations
down around Natchez.

- Take one of them steamboat rides.
- Ok?

Come on, you guys.

- Kenny, come on!
- All right! All right!

Hey, get my bag, will you?

What did they say is wrong
with this thing anyway?

Won't fly.

Hey, Willie,
we got a silo here, man.

Mommy, can I make cookies?

You can't make cookies.
You're only 4.

You could show me.

Sure, kids. Go ahead.
But clean up.

Since NATO's insistence on

positioning medium-range
Pershing-2s

and cruise missiles in Europe
has caused Great Britain

to re-evaluate its own
nuclear commitment.

Scrub it all together
if the labor party had its way.

You see, the real fear is
that when the chips are down,

and the red light's blinking,

the United States won't really want

to sacrifice Chicago for Hamburg.

Our correspondent in Europe
confirmed that

according to NATO intelligence reports,

as of this morning,
there are now three Soviet tank divisions

poised along the Fulda gap.

The United States issued a strong protest

regarding the Soviet presence
in an emergency session

of the U.N. Security council
this morning.

A protest responded to
indirectly this afternoon

by Soviet-born ministers
meeting in Brussels for trade talks

with the common market.

Speaking with A.B.C. News,
the Soviet-born minister claims

the United States
have the cart before the horse...

You can answer one question, can't you?
That won't hurt you none.

All right, one question.

- But remember...
- Where's Alan?

Oh, he's over at Jackson's,
having supper.

They had a varsity scrimmage at 7:00.

He doesn't spend much time
around here, does he?

Who does?

Looks like I'm here.

Yeah, that's kinda nice.

Thank you.

I thought you taught hematology
at Lawrence tonight.

Sam's taking my classes for me.

I'm, uh, going out tomorrow afternoon.

Want to go to the movies, tonight?

We could go to the Fern Hill
drive-in and neck.

Well, what if we just stayed in?

Yeah, suits me fine.
We'll light a few candles

and put on some raunchy music.

What's gotten into you?

What, you don't like my ideas?

I love your ideas.

It's just that you're...

Oh, you've been talking to Marilyn,
haven't you?

Yeah. She told me about the scholarship,
and, uh, Boston.

She said you were just
marvelous about it.

I think I handled myself pretty well.

It's good to see her
so excited about the move.

Is that what's important?

How excited she is?

She'd follow Gary and that old rattletrap
to Nome or new Mexico.

She only applied to Boston because...

- Wait a minute, let me turn this up now, will you?
- Please, listen...

I have been listening to that thing all day...

...the blockade of West Berlin continues.

The action follows reports earlier
this evening of widespread rebellion

among several divisions
of the East German army.

To repeat:

East Germany tonight
sealed off the borders to West Berlin,

closing the four principal
West German access corridors

at Lauenberg, Helmstedt,
Herleshausen and Rudolphstein.

I don't believe this is happening.

Do you want to go in the living room
and watch?

No.

I just want to go upstairs
and get into bed

with you.

And Audie's got some kind of
stag party planned anyhow.

So tonight's the last night
we'll see each other till Sunday.

Yeah, but ma's still fittin' my gown.

Hey, you know what?
No one's up at Arthur's tonight.

They're all in town at the game.

And it's not like we haven't
ever made love before, Bruce.

Not without you getting sick on the pill,

or rolling off the haystack...

They're right over there.

Can't you wait 2 more days?

No.

You're crazy.
You know that?

Where is it?

Upstairs.

In my dressing table drawer.

A lot of good
it's doing up there.

Go get it. Go on.

Come on, go get it.

Jolene?

Jolene, you give that
back to me!

Jolene! Jolene!

You brat, come here!

Jolene, if I catch you,
I'm gonna kill you!

Jolene, come on!

We interrupt this program
to bring you a special report.

East Germany tonight tightened
its stranglehold on West Berlin

by halting all air traffic in and out
of Tegel and Tempelhof airports,

severing the city's lifeline
to the west.

This action has been condemned
by NATO foreign ministers

as a blatant, unconscionable
violation of international law.

Jolene! Jolene!

Jolene!

Jolene!

Jolene!

Jolene!

Jolene, you open this door
right now,

or I'll never talk to you again!

Jolene!

Tomorrow Berlin time,

that's 6:00 A.M.
eastern daylight time,

would be regarded
as an act of war.

After an emergency meeting
with his cabinet

and congressional leaders
of both parties,

the president tonight declared all
United States military personnel

on worldwide stage-2 alert.

Soviet ambassador
Anatoli Kuragin

was summoned to the White House
3 quarters of an hour ago.

She was in my...

Well?

All right. You don't
have to tell me.

But I expect the two of you to
settle it amongst yourselves.

Otherwise I'll see that your
father settles it for you.

Now Jolene, I could sure use
some help with the casseroles

when you're through.

Give that to me, you brat.

Press secretary
David Townes reports

that both sides are engaged
in frank and earnest talks

aimed at finding ways to defuse the
heightening crisis in Berlin...

Oh, god! It's 1962
all over again.

Cuban missile crisis.

Do you remember
Kennedy on television

telling Khrushchev to
turn his boats around?

Full retaliatory response.
He didn't bat an eye.

We were in New York, in bed.

Just like this, remember?

118th street.

Meatball sandwiches
from Sharkey's.

Your last year's residency.

I swear that we made Marilyn
that night.

Then we got up,

went to the window,
and looked for the bombs.

It didn't happen.

It's not gonna happen now.

People are crazy,
but not that crazy.

Well, do you want to know
from crazy?

The Donnellys left today
for Guadalajara.

Guadalajara?

I swear it. I spoke to her
as they were pulling out.

He said they were dovetailing
their vacation

with the rising
international tensions.

Oh, cut it out.

I'm not kidding.

They took their
Vietnamese maid with them.

And that rotten
little barking dog

with the pushed-in face.

Oh, what about their little, uh,

combination tractor lawn mower
golf cart with the silver hubcaps?

Probably.

What if it does happen?

What do we do?

You told me nothing like this
was ever gonna happen.

Maureen, it's just an alert.
That's all.

I mean, we got to run around and check
things twice instead of once. That's it.

What am I going
to tell my mother?

She's got the house all set,
a room for skip...

Well, why don't you go on down?

No, no, I'm serious. Honey,
why don't you just take skip,

go down to your mother's, and then I'll just
join you when this whole thing is over.

That's just great.

Oh, Billy, I'm sorry.

I know I'm not making this
any easier on you.

I love you.

Know that?

I love you, too, Maureen.

Just 5-and-a-half months,
that's it.

5-and-a-half months,

and I'll be out of the service.

I'll be working 40 hours a week,

making $17.50
per hour.

You're taking everything
you've got?

Damn it, Maureen, it's an alert!

It's 4 sets of everything.

It's just strictly by the book.

I'm scared is what.

Look, sit down.

Maureen, there's
nothing to worry about.

I'm gonna be right next door.

I'm gonna be on the base
the whole time,

and I'll call you every night.

Ok?

It's all right.

Good morning, Mizzou!

It's 5:30, clear skies, and 61
degrees in St. Clair county.

There's a little rain
moving this way tonight.

And this is the
W.W.I.Z. Farm report

for Saturday, September 16th.

Here's the commodity markets report
on the Chicago board of trade...

Cows are out.

What do you say you and
me get some breakfast?

The White House today issued
a strong denial that the U.S.

Contemplated any unilateral
military action

in response to the deteriorating
situation in East Germany.

Press secretary David Townes,
speaking for the president,

unequivocally stated the administration
support for the NATO pact alliance...

Bye.

Denise?

Where in hell have you been?

Don't you just walk right by me

when you hear me
asking you a question.

What are you doing
sneaking in here?

I'm not sneaking.
I never sneak.

Then why didn't you
come in the back door?

I didn't even know
the door was unlocked, daddy.

I've been out with Bruce,
riding around.

Riding around.

All night.

Frankly, daddy, that's
none of your business.

As long as you live...

Oh, daddy,
please don't say that.

Because I'm getting
married tomorrow.

Jolene!

You get back in there
and stop eavesdropping.

I'm not eavesdropping.

I'm just waiting for you
to finish up

so I can get by to the bathroom.

Well, use the one outside
the kitchen, honey.

The water is freezing out there.

Well, hurry it up,
for Pete's sake!

Can't you see
that we're talking?

The whole world's
just holding its breath

to hear what you're
talking about.

What is all the commotion
out there?

Nothing, Evie.

Honey, let's just
forget what I said.

You're no sneak.

Hut 1, hut 2!

Coach seems to know what
he's doing this year.

I mean he's teaching
those kids good.

Yeah, they sure look good.

Yep. You got a boy
out there?

Yeah, yeah. Number 80.
Alan Oakes.

Oh, yeah. I've been
watching him. Got good hands.

Good hands, good moves to the outside.
He's not afraid to take a hit.

Do you have a son playing?

Yeah. Doug Holland.
Number 68.

He's only a sophomore.

Yeah, he's a born guard,
though, you know? Stocky.

All heart.

I try not to miss a practice
when I'm not on the road.

I don't like to embarrass him

by hangin' around the bench.

Oh, by the way,
I'm... I'm Doug senior.

Oh! Russ Oakes.
Nice to meet you.

Same here.

Well, see you, Doug.

Ok, bye.

That NATO armored units

have broken through the Helmstedt
checkpoint into East Germany,

and, after heavy fighting, are
advancing under air support

2 miles along the E-8
Bundestrasse corridor

past Marienborn, toward Berlin.

French news agency has
received conflicting reports

of east German resistance
and heavy casualties.

But ground observers
have confirmed

that 2 Soviet-built Mig-25s
invaded West German airspace,

firing several
air-to-ground missiles

at a NATO munitions
storage facility,

and also hitting a school and a
hospital outside of Wurzburg.

While we save
a single blue baby,

they're bombing hospitals
in Wurzburg.

I'm afraid of listening
to the radio anymore.

Have you heard the latest?

There is a rumor they're
evacuating Moscow. Yeah.

There are even people
leaving Kansas City

because of the missile fields.

Where does one go
from Kansas City?

To, uh, the Yukon?
To Tahiti?

We are not talking
about Hiroshima anymore.

Hiroshima was... was peanuts.

What's going on?

Do you understand what's
going on in this world?

Yeah. Stupidity has a
habit of getting its way.

Dr. Oakes to
nurses' station "r"...

Yes?

Oh, Dr. Oakes. Your wife
would like you to call her.

Oh, thank you.

City of Moscow
is being evacuated.

According to informed
administration sources,

the city of Moscow
is being evacuated.

It is not generally known in
Washington at the present time

whether the evacuation order indicates
the entire population of Moscow,

or whether other major Soviet
cities have been similarly affected

by the evacuation order.

Sam, yeah?

Where's Dr. Oakes?

Oh, he's probably stuck
in traffic on the I-70.

Hey, haven't you heard?
Everyone's gone fishing.

Who's in charge?

Good question.
Montoya's in K.C.

And Julian wants staff informed
of emergency procedures

in case a general
Metro evacuation is ordered.

So he needs a medical...

Oh, no. Not me, Bauer.

See, I'm just a resident with
120 freshmen bodies to examine.

Unfortunately, most
of them are male.

Nice try.

It's just like the army.

Yeah. I wonder where
we're gonna be next week.

Somewhere in
the upper atmosphere.

Name?

Stephen Klein.

K-l-e-i-n.

Japanese?

- Age?
- 19.

- Residence?
- Joplin.

No, I mean, on campus.

Oh! uh, Davidson 4.

What's your major, Stephen?

Pre-med.

He's shooting baskets at the "Y."

He knows better.
This is my 2nd false alarm.

I'm 10 days early.

I'm an attention-grabber,
he says.

Where's yours?

- My what?
- Your husband.

Oh, he's trying to catch a plane out
right about now.

So what's he got to do
with anything?

I'm not the one having the baby.

- Yeah. What's it like?
- What?

You know, having a baby.
What's it feel like?

Never had one.

But you said, "I know."

- I know what?
- Back at emergency.

I was tellin' you about the pains,
and you said, "I know."

I know about the pains because
I'm a nurse who's seen a lot like you.

Yeah. You want to know
what it feels like?

It feels like I'm gonna
have a basketball.

Where is everybody?

They're all watching the news.

Say, I saw Ticker and
Judy Francis takin' off,

thumbs out, backpacks and all.

So what are you doing here?

Holding my place in line.

If I don't get into Bowman's
metallurgy class this semester,

I'm not gonna graduate in January.

Hey, what's goin' on?

They say the Russians
just invaded West Germany.

3-pronged attack, spearheaded
by rapid Soviet tank

and artillery advances
into the Fulda gap.

Having already captured
NATO advance positions

along the West German border.

How far will
Warsaw pact forces go?

Will the Russians advance
straight for the Rhine

and defy NATO's declared policy
of defense by all means,

including the use of
tactical nuclear weapons?

The defense department today
reported...

Fantasy land.

You think they're
making this up?

You think this is war of
the worlds or something?

Look, did we help the Czechs,
the Hungarians,

the Afghans, or the Poles?

Well, we're not going to nuke the
Russians to save the Germans.

I mean, if you were talking
oil in Saudi Arabia,

then I'd be real worried.

What do you think?

I gotta get a haircut.

You know, I think I'm going
to hitch home, see my folks,

and I'll see what's
happening on Monday.

Where do you live?

Joplin?

You going to Joplin?

Hey, son, hop in.
I'll give you a ride.

Oh, great.

Make it pretty, Ollie. This is
my last trim as a free man.

I'm getting married tomorrow.

Is that right?

Yeah.

Well, congratulations.

Who knows? The president's speaking
on television at 6:00 tonight.

Maybe he'll tell us
something new.

They'll tell us what
they want us to hear.

Keep the panic at
the low-sweat stage.

I really don't think either
side wants to be the first

to use a nuclear device.

It's not a question of
who, but where?

Over whose real estate?

Say we explode a nuclear
bomb over their troops,

on our side, the fallout better
not drift over to their side.

They're crazy.

How do they expect it's going
to stop with just one bomb?

You want to know what crazy is?

Crazy is not staying out of
other people's business.

We shouldn't be over there
in the first place.

Well, maybe they'll contain it.

After all, I've still got
symphony tickets for tonight.

Thing that bothers me is that
damned launch-on-warning.

What's that?

That's when one side tells the
other they are gonna fire missiles

when they think the other guy's
missiles are on the way.

You know, use 'em or lose 'em.

What do you really think the chances
are of something like that happening

way the hell out here
in the middle of nowhere?

Nowhere?

There's no "nowhere" anymore.

You're sitting next to the
Whiteman air force base right now.

That's a 150 minuteman
missile silos

spread halfway down
the state of Missouri.

That's an awful lot
of bull's eyes.

Close to announcing a ceasefire

along the German border.

There are still no eyewitness
accounts to substantiate the rumor

that low kiloton range
nuclear weapons

were detonated this morning
during the conflict

resulting in the reported
destruction of Wiesbaden

and the outskirts of Frankfurt...

This is the emergency
broadcast system.

All persons in transit in the
Kansas City metropolitan area

are advised to proceed immediately
to the municipal shelter facility

in the community or township
closest to your current location.

While there is no immediate
danger to the Kansas City area,

the federal emergency
management agency urges

that you learn the steps to be taken
in the event of a probable attack.

Hey, there, Jim.

Jim, why don't you go home now?

Reverend, we got a lot more...

Well, I know, I know. But you
got plenty to do at home.

What good does the dirt do?

Get on in the truck, son.

Listen, fellows,
I'm gonna cut on out now.

Good luck to you.

As soon as we get home,
you line up some milk jugs,

about half a dozen of 'em.
Put 'em beside the water pump.

We're gonna fill 'em up
and take 'em to the cellar.

Yes, sir.

My... my kids just left
on a camping trip.

I don't know how I'm going to...

What I'm going to...

Wait a minute, please.

Hey, one minute now.

urges that you learn

the steps to be taken
in the event of a probable...

Get out of my way.
I was here first.

Just get the cash!

Move your cart!
Hurry up! Move it.

Any more news?

They just hit one of our
ships in the Persian Gulf.

Who's they?

The Russians.
Who do you think?

But we hit 'em back,
one of their ships, you know.

Dallas?

Give me a ride.

Sarah, Kenny, wash up for lunch.
Come drink your milk.

Wish those clouds
would hurry and open up.

Could use one more good rain
before the cuttin'.

Hey, did you kids hear me?

Wait a few minutes.

Oh, honey, the biscuits...

That 3 nuclear weapons

in the low kiloton range

were air burst this morning
over advancing Soviet troops...

- Soviet presence in East Germany.
- Oh, Kenny.

Kenny, come on.

Come on.

And that both sides
are working together

to bring about the earliest
possible ceasefire.

We're flying out of here.
Prepare for take off.

Can we make clear ground?

Checking on it.

Stand by, Starr.

Get 'em up.

The state department
says the president

is presently in direct communication
with Soviet premier...

Tango, 5, 3, 6, 1.

Nuclear bomb
of undetermined strength

has exploded at regional
NATO military headquarters...

Takeoff, runway 3-1.

Eve.

Where are the girls?

uh, Jolene's makin' beds,
and Denise is takin' a shower.

Well, get 'em downstairs.

Oh, Jim, can't you see
all I've got to do?

Don't you know there's pretty much
a national emergency going on?

Well, it's just going to have
to go on without me

because your daughter
is getting married tomorrow,

and I've got 67 mouths to feed.

I hope so.

But first we got to get
some things into the cellar.

You'd think there's a tornado comin'.

Daddy, the man on the radio
said there might be a war.

He's saying, you know,
we should unplug all our radio

and T.V. And stuff.

There's not going to be a war, is there?

Sir, we need access to the keys

and the authentication
documents at this time.

- Do you have your key?
- Yes, sir.

I don't even know why we're doing this.

Township closest to your current location.

I'm sorry, I can't take you any further.

That's ok. Thanks a lot.

Good luck, now.
Yeah, you, too.

Learn the steps to be taken

in the event
of a probable attack.

I gotta go.

Stand by for the message.

Alpha, 7, 8,

November, foxtrot,

1, 5, 2, 2...

Castle, listen,
this is Oscar 11.

We just started, sir. Why?

We gotta get out of here.

Standby to copy the message.

Standing by.

Message follows.

That's a J.C.S. Execution
from the president.

I agree the message
is valid, also.

Launch keys inserted.

Roger.

Let's enable the missiles.
Program enable.

Unlock code inserted.

Stand by, unlock codes inserted.

Enable switch. Enable.

Enabled.

Coordinate naval command.

Yes, this is ops,
all enabled. Thank you.

Key turn at my Mark.

Standing by.

5, 4...

You kids come in here right now.

Where's mama, honey?

Upstairs.

Now, I want you to take
those tarps and canvases

down in the basement
like I told you.

And stay there with Jolene,
you understand?

Yes, daddy.

Evie, don't bother
with the beds just now.

Evie, we've got to get down below.
Listen.

Those missiles have all gone off.

No!

Step on it.

The gate, Willie,
watch the damn gate.

I got it!
I got it!

Hear anything?

Are you in communications
with the capsule down there?

Shuts down during a launch.
Even the radio went out.

Last thing I heard
was they knocked out

two of our radar warning stations.

Where? Beale air force
base, California,

and somewhere in England.

Can you believe it?
They really gone and done it.

They shacked 'em!
They pushed all the buttons.

You know what that means, don't you?

Either we fired first and
they're gonna try to hit what's left,

or they fired first, and we just
got our missiles out of the ground in time.

Either way,
we're going to get hit.

So what are we standin' around here for?

Where do you wanna go?

How about out of here for starters?
I gotta get my wife and my kid.

We're still on alert, Billy.

No one leaves this facility.

- Oh, come on, man.
- Not until the choppers come in.

Are you kiddin' me, man?
The bombs will be here before the choppers will.

Listen, listen to me, man.

The war is over.

It's over.
We've done our job.

So what are you still guarding, huh?

Some cotton-pickin' hole in the ground?

- All dressed up and nowhere to go!
- He's right.

What about Starr and Boyle?
What about 'em?

What are they doin'?

Yeah, they're 60 feet down,
sippin' cold beer and whistlin' 'Misty'.

- Well, I'm goin' down there.
- Forget it, man.

You can't go down there,
that elevator's secured.

You hear yourself talkin', bozo?

'Cause I hear you sayin' that we got
direct orders to be sittin' ducks!

There's a ladder on the side of the shaft.

So what?
They're still behind an 8-ton steel door

with food and water for 2 weeks.

They're not gonna let you in there.

There's that little room out the elevator.

Tommy, you know as well as I do

that a direct hit'll take out the main
shaft and Boyle and Starr, too.

I'd rather take my chances down there.

Come on, Billy.
This was your idea.

No, no hole in the ground was my idea.

Yeah. Yeah, sure, man, come on.
Make up your mind.

You gonna crawl down the hole

or you gonna shoot me in the back?

So, what does the book say, bozo?

What's going on?

Those are minuteman missiles.

Like a test, sort of.
Like a warning?

They're on their way to Russia.

They take about 30 minutes
to reach their target.

So do theirs, right?

Missile warning, this is Beale.

Confidence is high.
I repeat, confidence is high.

Roger. We got 32 targets
in track

and 10 impacting points.

Wanna confirm,
is this an exercise?

Roger, copy.
This is not an exercise.

Roger. Understand.
Maj. Rinehart,

we have a massive attack
against the U.S. at this time.

I.C.B.Ms,
numerous I.C.B.Ms.

Roger. Understand.

Over 300 missiles inbound now.

Do we have to go down there?

Well, I guess we could stay
up here for a while.

Uh, I think you better
go downstairs, folks, please.

Hey!

Oh, come on, baby,
don't die on me now.

Danny! Don't look!

I got you, son.

It's all right.
I got you.

That's Rusty.
Dad, we left Rusty.

We might be down here a long time.

There's not gonna be enough
food and water for Rusty.

You mean he's just going
to die out there?

Honey, we're going to have to get
used to things being a lot different.

What matters is we're alive,

and we're together.

It smells awful.

How long will we
have to stay down here?

I don't know. I don't know
anything about radiation.

What's radiation?

Where did you get that?

Near the broadcasting center,

there's a museum in the basement,

if it still works.

These are getting scarcer
than hen's teeth.

You shouldn't have
stayed out so long looking.

We need one for the shortwave.

I hope I don't go and blow myself up.

I'm not sure about any of this.

Red is positive...

Come on.

Is this thing connected or is
Connie still up on the roof?

She should forget that stuff
and get down here.

Here it comes.

Where am I?

- You're burned.
- Where's Dr. Montoya?

Julian?

Upstairs, putting out the fire.

3 is filled up.

Yeah, get the beds in the
halls away from the window.

Have you seen the number
of people in here?

This is supposed to double
as a fallout shelter.

They're standing
in shock or hysterical...

Where's Dr. Wallenberg? She's
got the radiological equipment.

Listen, why don't
we have emergency power here?

There's no electricity anywhere.

Wh-what did you see?

You were coming
from Kansas City.

What did you see?

I was on the freeway,

about 30 miles away.

I'm not sure.

It was high in the air,

directly above downtown.

Like the sun exploding.

I'm taking you into the hall.
You'll be safer here.

Protect you from the fallout.

It comes right through the windows,
through the walls and...

Over to your right.

Julian, Julian.
Oh, thank god you're here.

There are only a handful
of doctors on duty.

I'm down to about a quarter
of the hospital staff.

You've gotta get the uninjured in the
shelters in the campus building.

Right, I'll see what I can do.

- Is it over?
- I don't know.

- It seems to be.
- How many were there?

Two, Kansas City.
There are more to the south.

Was it just Kansas or the whole country?
I don't know.

My husband's in Sedalia.
What about Sedalia?

When are you due?
I'm overdue.

We're going to do
everything we can

to protect ourselves from the fallout.

What for?

Can I have your attention,
please.

This is... this is only a campus hospital.
We don't have many supplies.

Unless you're seriously injured,

could you please go to one of
the other campus buildings?

We have to clear the area
for those who have a serious...

Ok, burn cases over here.

Please, listen to me.
Listen to me!

We need your help.

This is a hospital.

Those of you not
seriously ill or injured

have to work.
Work with our staff.

Now, this work will be dangerous.

We have to do it

in order to survive.

We tried hooking up an auxiliary
pump to a backup generator,

and we're still only getting a trickle.

I still don't understand.
Did they burn out?

They could have been subjected
to the E.M.P. Effects.

What's that?

Electro-magnetic pulse.

When a large nuclear device is
air burst at a high altitude,

a lot of electrical disruption
can be created,

principally with radios,
communication systems,

electrical wires, computers,

cars, transistors. Of course,
it's all theoretical.

It's never happened before.

In short,
very little electricity.

Forever?

We'll have to find the nearest hand
pump and chain-gang the water in.

Nobody's gonna go out there
and expose themselves...

We have to have water.
How are we gonna operate?

Wait a minute. Sit tight
for a couple of minutes.

Now...

What about fuel
to boil water, heat food,

sterilize surgical instruments?

What about bringing in wood?

You can't burn wood
that's been contaminated.

Just put radiation
right back in the air.

What about bottled gas?

There's some butane. But no
more than about 3 days' worth

it's Bruce!

Hush.

What's going on?
Be quiet.

What are you
going to do with that?

Jim, that's no dog up
there, it's a person.

Get the hell out of here!

Whoa! Please don't shoot.

Jim, stop it.
Get back, Eve.

I was only looking
for some water.

Have you got another cellar
out in the barn?

Look, I'll die out here.

Let him stay, Jim.

Sure,

tonight there'll be 20 people
poundin' on the door.

No, there won't.
They're all dead.

I'm the last one.

Look, I'll help you
any way you want.

I won't be any trouble.
I even brought my own food.

Well, get on down here.
Shut that door first.

Jolene, cut that light off.
Save it for when we need it.

Just wanted to see who it was.

All right.

My name's Stephen.

We're the Dahlbergs.

I'm Eve. That's Jim,

Denise, Jolene, and Danny.

He looked at one going off.

Flash blinded.

He burned his retinas.

What do you know about it?

Not a whole lot.

I'm a pre-med over at K.U.

Do you know Bruce Gallatin?
He... he's a senior.

No.

But... but you're from Lawrence,

so maybe Bruce is all right.

Well,

I don't know
what happened to Lawrence.

I was close to Harrisonville
when it started.

Must have been
5 or 6 of them to the north,

and a whole string
of 'em to the south.

They must have hit every missile silo
from Sedalia to El Dorado Springs.

Hold that.

All right.

Have you been in shelter
for the past few days?

Last night we slept in a
chicken Coop in lone Jack.

But otherwise, you've
been outside since then?

Hold still.

No sense making
a martyr of yourself.

You know what's going to happen
next around here, don't you?

I've been trying
not to think about it.

We may be the only hospital
operating within 100 miles.

Everyone half-alive or dying
will find their way here.

Too late to become a dentist.

What are you thinking?

I wonder who was spared.

I wonder if New York,
Paris, Moscow

are just like Kansas City now.

Hello, hello, is anybody there?

Is anybody there?

This is Lawrence.

This is Lawrence, Kansas.
Is anybody there?

This is Joe Huxley. I'm broadcasting
out of the science building

at the university of Kansas.

Is anybody there?

I have an atmosphere report
for anybody who's listening.

Dr. Oakes, do you read?

Come in, Dr. Oakes.
Do you hear me?

Yes, Joe.

We're holding fast
at just a hair under, uh,

50 rads per hour.

I thought that it
would have diminished by now.

I guess that means we're
picking up a lot of fallout

from titan missile bases
in Wichita and wherever else

out west.

That's the way the wind blows,

straight toward St. Louis.

When will it be safe

to move people
to other buildings?

It'll never be safe.

Come on, Joe.

Wait till it gets down
to under 2 rads an hour.

If and when.

You picked up anybody else
on your...

On your end?

Not a soul.

This is Lawrence.

This is Lawrence, Kansas,
is anybody there?

Anybody at all?

That's the first time
you've closed your eyes

in 3 days.

I do it when you're not looking.

You look terrible.

You sound just like my wife.

Here.

I think you should eat
a piece of this orange.

This may be the last orange
you'll see for...

A week and a half.

When you close your eyes,

you start remembering.

Remembering what?

My son...

Catching a pass. My daughter
staring at a painting.

I...

It's an accident, you know,

my being here.

If I hadn't come back
to take my hematology class,

I'd be in Kansas City,

with them.

I'm sorry.

Raving.

No, rave on, please.

I never imagined you...

Look at that.

Impervious.
What?

To radiation.

You are looking at man's legacy.

The only guaranteed survivor
of a nuclear war.

Come on, Danny,
I want you to eat.

I'm not hungry!

Denise, eat this,
otherwise it'll go bad.

Jolene.

The battery went dead.

We can see that, Jolene.
Where are the matches?

What is it, day or night?

It's day, I think.

What day?

Wednesday.

It's Thursday.

2: 30.

Wonder if it's sunny out.

I can't remember.

Can't remember what?

It's only been 5 days

and I can't remember
what Bruce looks like.

Now, we've all been through a
lot, sittin' here in the dark.

What are we doin'
down here anyway?

It's all over, isn't it?

It smells so bad down here,
I can't even breathe.

Now, listen, Denise,
you get a hold of yourself.

You know that we can't
go out of here...

Why did I have to
use that thing?

We'd be married by now, anyway.

Why didn't I at least
get pregnant?

Just pipe down, Denise.

Because now I can't
even see his face!

I can't see anything!
I can't see anything!

I can't see anything!

Denise, honey, just calm down.

Let go of me.
I can't see.

Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.

I'll get her. I owe you.

No, Jim.

See?

There's nothing wrong out here.

It's a beautiful day.

No.

It only looks that way.

Hey!

Hey!

You can't see it.

You can't feel it.

And you can't taste it.

But it's here,

right now, all around us.

It's going through you
like an x-ray,

right into your cells.

What do you think
killed all these animals?

Get away!

Now, come...

Ah! Get away!

Where are you going?

Holden.

Oh, yeah, how come?

People there.

How do you know?

A man with a C.B.
Back in Leeton.

You from Leeton?

How's Sedalia?

I... I said, how's Sedalia?

There ain't no Sedalia.

Ain't no Green Ridge,
no Windsor, no nothin'.

No more room.

No more room!

Russell, 17 people
died in here this morning.

I would say we're running
a serious cholera risk.

To say nothing of the bodies,
and the morgue is filled.

Should we start
using the garage?

Move the terminal radiation
patients back into the ward rooms,

make them as comfortable
as possible.

And I'll talk to Joe Huxley
about the rad situation.

Dr. Oakes, we're running
very low on morphine.

There's been quite a lot
of stealing going on.

They're stealing food
from the kitchen.

Dr. Strayhorne got his wrist broken
trying to stop a fight down in emergency.

Close the doors!

Don't let anyone else in. Put
on extra guards if you have to.

How can we care for people
if we have no control,

isn't that what you're trying
to tell me, Julian?

Yes.

Doctor, have you heard
about firing squads?

Anything about firing squads?

What are you talking about?

They're shooting people.

Shooting? What for?

Looting, hijacking,
rape, murder.

Without a trial?

That's nonsense.
That's crazy!

Go back to work!

Hey.

What the hell are you doin'?

Hey. Hey, whoa.
Hey, wait a minute.

No, no, come on,
don't do that, man.

Cool it.

Hey, no, no. D-don't do that.
Come on, man.

Who's that?

Go on.

Wait, wait.

It's ok, man.
Just relax. It's all right.

Hey.

Want some...

Did you see these people?

That's us, man,
if we don't get to Lawrence.

You hear me?

Hey, that's legal tender,
by the way.

They got a hospital in Lawrence.

You're not a big talker,
are you?

Did Dr. Montoya discuss
caesarian section with you?

I'm wide enough.
There's nothin' in the way.

I'm just waitin' around here
like everybody else.

Who knows what for?

Maybe that's why
you're 2 weeks overdue.

If you were in utero and you had
any choice about the matter,

would you be dying to be born
into a world like this?

You think your baby's deciding
whether or not to be born?

You think I'm holding back
by force of will, Dr. Oakes?

Bad toilet training?

No, I think
you've got to be willing

to let your baby come
whether you like it or not.

You're holding back hope.

Hope for what?

What do you think
is gonna happen out there?

You think we're gonna sweep up the
dead and fill in a couple of holes

and build some supermarkets?

You think all those people left
alive out there are gonna say:

"Oh, I'm sorry. It wasn't my fault.
Let's kiss and make up"?

We knew the score.

We knew all about bombs,
we knew all about fallout.

We knew this could happen
for 40 years.

But nobody was interested.

- I can't argue with you.
- Argue with me.

Please.

Give me a reason.
Tell me about hope.

Tell me why you work
so hard in here.

I don't know.

Corn will be a total loss.

Should've harvested 10 days ago.

Cows can't graze.

Contaminate the milk,
as well as themselves.

We're lucky to be alive.

We'll see how lucky that is.

Name?

McCoy, William.

- Airman first class.
- Home?

Whiteman air force base,
Sedalia, Missouri.

- This is my friend...
- One at a time.

He can't talk.

What's your injury?

I, uh, I can't keep nothin' in.

Not even my own hair.

I got... I got... I got these bruises,
like, all... all over my arm, see?

And it's real bad.

Look, look. See... see, look.
See, look. Look at Cody.

See, Cody's got them
all up his arm, like...

Look, I know we got
radiation sickness.

The only question is, is there
anything that we can do about it?

The radiation count is now
0.4 rads an hour.

This is considered safe
for limited exposure outdoors.

We urge all of you not suffering
from specific physical injury

to seek fresh shelter
in campus buildings.

There was a great earthquake,

and the, uh,

the sun became black
as sackcloth,

and a third

of the earth was burnt up.

A third of the trees
and all the green grass.

And then from the smoke came locusts on
the earth with the power of scorpions.

And they were told...

Th-they...
They were told not to harm

the grass of the earth
or any green tree,

but only those who have not the
seal of god upon their foreheads.

Are we here today

counted among god's servants?

We give thanks to thee,

oh, lord god almighty,
for rewarding thy servants,

and those who fear thy name,
both great and small,

and for destroying
the destroyers of the earth.

Pettis county's closed down.

Well, there's...
there's a university hospital in Lawrence.

I don't know. It's awful far.

Well, it's her only chance.

And Danny's, too.

Look, you stay here...

She's my daughter.

I'm gonna bring 'em back.

What's goin' on?

Eve, we're gonna have to try
to get her up here a little more secure.

I'm gonna try to put her feet through here.

Maybe you could help me with her head.

Yeah, let me... let me get out.

Move over for your sister,
would you, please?

Just lie right down there,
sweetheart.

Denise, can you hear me?

It's your daddy.

Daddy.

Daddy loves you.

- What do you see?
- Oh,

cows,

telephone poles.

Usual stuff.

Have you seen
what's going on out there?

Yes.

Well, what are we going to do?

Going to let them in, Paul.

As many as you can.

The president
of the United States.

My fellow Americans,

while the extent of damage to
our country is still uncertain,

and shall probably remain so
for some time,

preliminary reports indicate that
principal weapons impact points

included military
and industrial targets

in most sectors of the United States.

There is, at the present time,

a ceasefire
with the Soviet Union

which has sustained damage
equally catastrophic.

Many of you
listening to me today

have suffered personal injury,
sudden separation from loved ones,

and the tragic loss
of your families.

I share your grief,

for I, too,
have suffered personal loss.

During this hour of sorrow,

I wish to assure you
that America has survived

this terrible tribulation.

There has been no surrender,

no retreat from the principles
of Liberty and democracy

for which the free world
looks to us for leadership.

We remain undaunted

before all but almighty God.

The government functioning under certain
extraordinary emergency options,

we are prepared to make
every effort

to coordinate relief and recovery
programs at the state and local levels.

During the next 2 weeks,

my staff and cabinet
will attempt to relocate

to national emergency
reconstruction headquarters.

At the present time,

and until radiation pattern
reports are made available

over the
emergency broadcast band,

or through
your local authorities,

I urge you to remain

in areas offering maximum
shelter protection

from radioactive fallout,

and to obey all local curfews.

We are counting on you,
on your strength,

your patience,

your will, and your courage

to help rebuild
this great nation of ours.

God bless you all.

That's it?
That's all he's gonna say?

Hey, maybe we're gonna be ok.

What do you wanna hear?

I want to know who started it,
who fired first, who pre-empted.

You're never gonna know that.

What difference does it make?

He doesn't know how bad...

He sure would have told us
if they fired first.

He doesn't want anyone
to think we lost the war.

You believe that? You believe
everything they tell you?

Doctor?

You know what Einstein said
about world war III?

He said he didn't know how they
were gonna fight world war III,

but he knew how they would
fight world war lv.

With sticks and stones.

Can I get some help
here, please?

Dr. Oakes, we have to contend
with the number of bodies,

the time required for
each individual burial...

Dr. Oakes?

The danger of infection now
is so grave, the only solution

is to prepare public graves
on the outside of town.

Dr. Oakes!

Dr. Oakes!

You're wanted in surgery.
You're already 5 minutes late.

Dr. Oakes!

Dr. Oakes,
are you all right?

You got a boy out there?

Number 80. Alan Oakes.

I swear that we made Marilyn
that night.

We're all changing, daddy,
don't you see?

Stupidity has a habit of getting its way.

Hey.

I'm moving to Boston.

What if it does happen?

What do we do?

Hiroshima was peanuts.

All the way!

Because the artist wants you
to be in the landscape,

a part of it.

Like the sun exploding.

People are crazy,
but not that crazy.

I'd like some water, please.

Helen?

You're not Helen.

This must be the hospice.

I'm cold!

Probably thinks I'm dying.

Maybe I am.

Maybe we're all dying.

Nurse! N-nurse!

I... I can't find my shirt!

I can't find my shirt.
I can't find my...

I looked. I looked.

I've got your shirt, right here.

No, no, I... I can't find
my shirt! I...

It's ok.

Ok, ok, ok.

Yes, sir.

Ok, ok, ok.

Ok, ok.

Yo, hey,

give me a hand?

We're running out of body bags.

Can we use
trash-can liners instead?

Hurry up, it's been days!
We're hungry.

That's it, no more.

What do you mean, no more?

I've got 3 chits
for powdered milk

and 2 kids who haven't eaten
since day before yesterday.

I'm sorry, lady.
What do you want me to do?

You wanna come in and look around
at the stuff we're hiding?

Yeah, you've got
more food in there.

That's for the other camp.

Food! Food! Food!

Are you really a doctor?

You sure don't talk like one.

Well, I'm... actually,
I'm the pizza man.

What's your name?

Sam.

Sam Hachiya.

What kind of name is that?

What's it sound like?

I don't know. Italian?

There you go.

Hey, what do you know?
Sam Hachiya pizzeria, eh?

When can I see my sister?

Um, that depends, kiddo.

You stay here.
I'll be back.

I'm not goin' any place.

So what we want you to do now,

burn out your current crops,

start decontaminating the soil,

and plan next spring's planting.

Crop selection
must consider plants

least susceptible to
ultraviolet radiation,

and yields for human rather
than animal consumption.

Excuse me, Mel,

but how do you go about
decontaminatin' the soil?

Well, you chiefly wait

for the fallout to decay to
safe enough levels to either

plow under or
scrape off the top layers.

How do you know what safe is?

Uh, we'll have a, uh,

N.E.R.A. Task force advising each
county agricultural cooperative.

Task force?

Where the hell's he think
they're coming from?

We're just going to have to channel
animal feed to human needs.

Except for, uh,

except for dairy cows that pass
muster, and certain poultry.

What is he talking about?

Can you explain what you mean by scraping
off the top layers of my topsoil?

Uh, exactly that, Jim. You just take
the top 4 or 5 inches of your topsoil.

Yeah, and do what with it?

We're talking 150,
maybe 200 acres a man in here.

That's right.

Bein' big is one thing.
Bein' realistic is another.

Suppose you find a hole where you
can drop all this dead dirt,

what kind of topsoil is that gonna
leave you for raisin' anything?

Where'd you get
all this information, John?

All this good advice? Out of
some government pamphlet?

Damn, somebody's
gotta take charge.

Fellas, we're talking catastrophe
here, not life as usual.

Now the national emergency
reconstruction administration's

primary goal
is to establish order,

and to aid you in salvaging your
resources for the country at large.

What's goin' on down there?

What do you think
you're doin' down there?

Who are you folks?

This is my home.

Where's nurse Bauer?

Tell me. Sam.

What was it?

Meningitis.

Doc.

You know.

You shouldn't go back to work right away.

Doctor's orders?

Right.

All right.

I'll take some time off.

See the sights.

Take yourself a little vacation.

Nice time of the year, Fall.

Where you thinking of going?

Kansas City.

Aren't you curious?

Don't you wonder about it?

I'm not going back there.

Why don't you come with me.

They probably won't let you
back in anyway.

I want to see my home
before I die.

Ready.

Fire.

- No!
- Ok!

All right, all right.

I'll get the bandages back on,
take your hands down.

There they go.

Ok.

Ok.

This isn't gonna work, is it?

It hasn't been that long, Danny.

The nerves might still grow back.

Your voice is shaking.

I'd like to go home now.

I want to be with my Mom and Dad.

Danny?

I'll take you.

Steven?

What about Denise?

We're all going home.

Ok?

Come on.

Thank you.

You're not really Italian, are you?

No.

So where you from?

Kansas City.

You look like you fell off your bike.

Denise? I had a hard time finding you here.

How's Danny?

He's ok.

What about his eyes?

Uh, Doctor says,

that I'll be able to take you home
in a couple of days.

Phones working?

Are you kidding?
There aren't going to be any phones.

They,

they gave me this ribbon to wear.

But I haven't got any damn hair
to put it into.

You look great.

Helen.

Get out of my house.

Didn't you hear me?

I told you to get out of my house.

Hello?

Is anybody there?

Anybody at all?
