Hey, kids.

Yeah?

How'd you get in here?

Oh, we just walked in.

When?

I didn't see you sneak past.

I know you didn't.

Come on now, get out of

here, on the double.

And don't come back now,

you understand?

Bye.

You had me worried.

It's all right.

I can't explain now.

Has everything checked out?

Everything looks good.

What could've happened?

The children have won.

The children?

You better come along

with us right now.

Wait there.

All right, children,

get away.

Don't come any closer.

Hello, Dad.

Why did you bring them?

We didn't want them here.

Don't you understand?

Something has to be done.

Now, look. Those men

are going inside that cave.

Not yet.

There's no use trying

to reason with them.

They don't understand.

Ken!

Helen!

What are you doing here?

Don't get excited.

What are the kids doing here?

Is that thing in there?

Bud. Ken. For my sake.

Don't worry, Mother.

Eadie. Eadie, please,

get away from there. I beg you.

I can't, Mother. Not yet.

Why are you siding

with it against us?

We're your parents.

We love you.

Tim, please, for my sake.

Children,

I'm your friend.

And I wouldn't ask you

to do anything

That I didn't feel

was necessary.

Think of your parents,

the people at the project.

Your country may be

in terrible danger.

The Thunderer is useless.

I don't believe you know

what you've done.

We know.

Children, listen.

Colonel Manley

has a daughter of his own.

I have a son.

We wouldn't ask you

to do any more

Than we'd

ask our own children.

So please get away

from that cave

And let Colonel Manley

and his men go in.

All right, men,

move them out of there.

Get those kids

out of there!

I don't understand.

Why did it

destroy the Thunderer?

Why? Why?

It had to, because the world

wasn't ready to do it.

The world?

What do you mean, the world?

The children

all over the world.

They did what we did

in every country.

You mean the warheads in Moscow

and Prague and London?

They're all useless?

Yes.

Bud. Do you know

if it'll ever come back again?

I don't know.

I don't know.

The world

is having a second chance.
