All language subtitles for The Day After (1983)

Erase c-in-c file.

General is aboard.

Good morning, sir.
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.

Whoo-hoo!

Bruce, give me my vest.

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 doing?

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.

Ah, you saw 60 minutes
last night.

Huh? 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 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.

Oh.

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, uh...

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 rebooking that plane ticket,

man, I'm gonna lose
my supersaver.

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 3 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,
that won't hurt you none.

All right, one question.

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? Hmm?

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?

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.

East Germany tonight
sealed off the borders to west Berlin,

closing the 4 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--

shh.

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?

Hmm?

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?

Uh, 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 told 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.

Oh.

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?

Shh!

Wait a few minutes.

Oh, honey, the biscuits...

That 3 nuclear weapons

in the low kiloton range

were airburst
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.
Hmm?

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

2 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.
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!

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.

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'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.

Uh-uh.

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, a massive attack on the U.S. right now.

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 can 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.

Where does 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?

2, 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 airburst 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.

Flashblinded.

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 ahold 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.

Uh,

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 iv.

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.

Oh.

This must be the hospice.

I'm cold!

Oh.

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.

You know,

you shouldn't go back
to work right away.

Doctor's orders?

Right.

Hmm?

I'll take some time off,

see the sights.

Sure.

Take yourself
a little vacation.

Nice time
of the year, fall.

Where are you
thinking of goin'?

Kansas City.

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, aim, fire!

No, no!
Ok.

All right,
all right.

Get the bandages
back on. Take your hands down.

Here they go.

Ok.

Ok.

This isn't gonna work,
is it?

It hasn't been that long,
Danny. Um...

It might still grow back.

Your voice is shaking.

I'd like to go home now.

I wanna be with
my mom and dad.

Danny,

I'll take you.

Stephen,

what about Denise?

We're all goin' home.
Ok?

Come on.

Thank you.

You're not really Italian,
are you?

No.

So where are you from?

Kansas City.

Watch your face. Watch your face, sir.

You'll be all right.

Ok.

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 workin'?

Are you kidding?
There aren't gonna 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.

Oh.

Hello? Is anybody there?

Anybody at all?
