to your age than she is to mine.

Well, so what? The important thing is

she's the right woman for you...

after so much hatred.

What are you talking about?

About Mother.

Don't you think I know that you

kept that marriage going

all those years because of me?

Don't be unfair to your mother.

She was a very unhappy woman.

- She was evil, Father!

- Now stop it.

I'm sorry.

It's just that there were times when

she seemed to enjoy hurting me.

Now there's something I never told you,

maybe I should have.

But when you were born

you had a twin brother.

- A twin?

- Yes.

He died at birth under very

dramatic circumstances

and from that day on

your mother seemed to...

subconsciously blame you

for being the only one to survive.

Father?

As I expect you've forgotten

your glasses again,

just sit back and listen.

Yes, Kate?

Will you need me any more

this evening, Mr. Caine?

- No, thank you, Kate.

- Good night, Mr. Caine.

Good night.

There'll be

42 generator components

with a total capacity

of 1,263 megawatts.

From the plant's seven

principal turbines

10 commutators

will branch out.

Each of which will be protected

by 10 automatic control systems

that will invariably cut out if--

The plant's seven principal turbines...

It tells of a monster

with seven heads...

- ...each of which will be protected...

- ...and 10 horns.

...by 10 automatic control systems.

Perhaps the prophet saw the monster

rise from that sea just outside.

From the plant's seven principal

turbines 10 commutators will branch out,

each of which will be protected

by 10 automatic control systems.

And on the 10 horns,

10 crowns.

It rises from the sea

and destroys mankind.

- Seven turbines...

- With seven heads...

- ...10 commutators...

- ...10 horns...

- ...10 automatic control systems.

- ...10 crowns.

- And it will reign for 42 months...

- There'll be 42 generator components...

- ...1,263 days.

- ...1,263 megawatts.

- And it will reign for 42 months.

- There'll be 42 generator components.

- 42 months.

- The end of the world

as described in "The Apocalypse."

It tells of a monster

- with seven heads...

- Seven principal turbines...

- ...and 10 horns.

- ...and 10 commutators.

- 42 months.

- 42 generator...

-1,263 megawatts.

- Perhaps the prophet saw the monster

- rise from the sea just outside.

- ...seven principal turbines...

Yes?

- Is that Mr. Caine?

- Yes.

- Who is this?

- Meyer. I must see you.

And at once.

DI'. Meyer?

Thank you for coming.

I know it's not an easy place to reach.

Why did you disappear?

I had the illusion my disappearance

would destroy the project.

What the hell are you

talking about?

Mr. Caine, your nuclear plant

must not be built.

But why?

You agreed

to work for the project.

And it's a brilliant project.

So was atomic fission,

the hydrogen bomb,

ballistic missile.

Well, then work with me.

I'm afraid, Mr. Caine.

Jesus, afraid?

Afraid of what?

Well, look at the world around you.

We're suffocating

on our own garbage.

Very soon now we will have exhausted

the last deposit of copper,

oil, coal, manganese,

et cetera, et cetera.

We're running out of food.

Small nations also have atomic arms.

The cup of catastrophe

is filled to the brim.

Above it, held by tension--

don't you be the one man to add

the drop that will spill it.

Stop talking like a ridiculous

prophet of the apocalypse.

The world can only save itself

through new uses of energy--

thermonuclear energy. That's exactly

what I'm trying to give it.

Beyond a certain scientific limit

there is only God.

Man has now reached that limit.

Well, I'm not counting on God.

I put my faith in nuclear energy.

Well, I'm an old man

and I have no faith.

No faith...

no faith in anything.

Robert?

What happened?

Please, don't ask me

any questions.

Not now.

From your seed comes evil.

From your seed comes evil.

Alive alive alive alive!

And evil will open the last door.

It rises from the sea

and destroys mankind.

Griffith, do you think I'm sick?

Well, I'm not a doctor, but everyone

at Caine Enterprises takes this test.

Now calm down, Father. I've taken

it myself. It lasts a few seconds.

Now all this data concerning you

is feeding back

into the central computer.

So the computer will have

your complete medical file.

But you haven't

answered my question.

Do you think I'm sick?

I think you just work too hard.

That's a rare disease

these days.

I'm not surprised

you have nightmares.

It seemed so real.

Huh. I imagine so.

Naked on a lake of salt...

it just shows that you've

a very creative subconscious.

Boy, I tell you.

You should see some of my visions

if I've hit the Scotch too hard.

Ah, thank you.

Thank you for everything.

- Oh no no.

- I always feel a lot better

- after I've talked with you.

- Drop in anytime you like.

I'm always here,

always available.

Like a priest.

You were right.

When a man starts seeing

the supernatural

in a series of perfectly

rational events...

All of them that rational?

I know what you mean.

This...

damn-fool formula--

two, square root of 231--

I can't understand it.

All it gives you is

30.397363.

It doesn't mean a thing.

Weren't you the one who taught me

that every number has some meaning?

It's just a question

of subparticle identification.

Yes yes, I guess so.

Wait a moment,

that could be it.

- What?

- identification-- that number.

It could be a personal identification

number in the medical files.

- Well, it's worth a try.

- Oh, absolutely.

And if Father is right,

there should be a great cloud of sulfur

and the computer should spit forth

the card of the devil himself.

Don't be a fool. All the same,

you keep an eye on your dad, will you?

Joe, I've got rather

an odd reading here.

Would you check the circuits

for the medical center?

- Angel.

- Hello, Father.

- Evening, Mr. Caine.

- Good evening.

I didn't know you patronized

such traditional restaurants.

Just between ourselves,

I've been invited.

Ahh.

I bet the same person

who invited you invited me, huh?

Mr. Caine, come this way, please.

Sara.

If I didn't have such a severe

sense of family duty,

I just might lose my head.

You look absolutely lovely.

Thank you.

- Well...

- Well...

Well then,

after all those compliments.

This is the moment when a woman

who's spent most of her money

on a hairdresser, a new dress,

an expensive dinner

feels she's made a good investment.

- What's the occasion?

- It's a celebration.

Can you explain more clearly?

First let me create

a bit of atmosphere,

- a little suspense, hmm?

- Ah.

- Telephone, Mr. Caine.

- Thank you.

- Oh no, Robert.

- I'm sorry. it could be important.

Order something for me.

I forgot my glasses,

I can't read the menu anyhow.

- Hello?

- This is Griffith.

Yes?

I must see you right away.

- What went wrong?

- The... computer

accepted the formula.

That nightmare of yours was true.

Now wait a minute.
