negative confirmation
on all inbound tracking.
Get onto SAC. Tell 'em to hold steady.
Stop! It's a simulation!
There's an attack simulation running!
What the hell's he yelling about?
I didn't order that.
We're not being attacked!
It's a simulation!
Whoa, now! Hold it!
You're not supposed to be runnin' here.
We don't know how it happened.
Someone outside fed an attack simulation
into the main... It's a simulation!
Conley...
Take us off full alert.
Hold at DEFCON 4 till we find out exactly
what in the hell's happening here!
I didn't tell you to cut the line!
Did I tell you to cut it? You cut the line!
They shut down
before we could complete our trace.
We did locate the area
where the transmission originated.
- Where?
- Seattle, Washington.
Shut it down!
Somebody's playing a game with us.
At a prophylactic recycling centre...
Hi, Dad!
David!
- David, come in here!
- What did I do?
Plenty, mister. Plenty.
You have just passed
all of your classes this semester.
Congratulations, dear!
Show this to your dad.
Honey! David has something to show you.
- What's that?
- Here, Dad.
Uh-oh.
This is good!
I'm so proud of you!
..went on a full-scale nuclearalert,
believing the Soviet Union
had launched a missile attack.
on a computermalfunction,
emphasising that the problem
has been corrected.
For more on the story,
let's go live to Washington DC.
Well, that's your phone.
Yeah.
Seriously, David. Congratulations.
This one'll be a pleasure to sign!
- Hello?
- David?
Are you watching the news?
Jennifer. Yeah, I'm watching.
David, is that us on TV? Did we do that?
It could be. Oh, Jesus, Jennifer!
What am I gonna do? They're gonna
come get me. I'm really screwed!
I'm screwed!
No! Sh! Calm down!
Sh! Calm down, calm down. Listen...
If they were so smart,
they would have found you already.
Yeah.
OK. So all you have to do is throw
the number away and don't call it again.
- That's all.
- Yeah.
- Maybe they didn't trace the call.
- Right! Maybe they didn't trace the call.
I'm sure they didn't trace the call.
All you have to do is act normal.
We'll both act normal
and everything will be fine.
OK?
- OK.
- OK.
God! This is so unbelievable!
Can I call Michelle and tell her?
No, Jennifer! Don't call her!
Sorry. All right. I won't.
I'll talk to you tomorrow, OK?
OK. Good night, Jennifer.
Greetings, ProfessorFalken.
Oh, my God.
Incorrect identification.
I am not Falken.
Falken is dead.
Sorry to hear that, Professor.
Yesterday's game was interrupted.
Although primary goal has not yet
been achieved, solution is near.
Game time elapsed:
31 hours 12 minutes 50 seconds.
Estimated time remaining:
52 hours 17 minutes 10 seconds.
What is the primary goal?
You should know, Professor.
You programmed me.
Oh, come on.
What is the primary goal?
To win the game.
David Lightman, hold it right there. FBl.
- I'll read you your rights.
- Step over to the van.
You have the absolute right
to remain silent.
What did I do?
You have the right
to consult with an attorney
and to have one present
during questioning.
If you cannot afford an attorney,
one will be appointed to you by the court.
- Do you understand these rights?
- Yeah.
Are you willing to talk to me
about the charges against you?
All right. Let's move.
No picture taking. The screens in front
of you are connected to our satellites
throughout the country.
This is the commander's desk.
Colonel Conley is in charge.
Would you mind relinquishing
your command, sir?
Miss Dailey, would you come
and sit in this rather important chair?
These buttons are connected
with the Strategic Air Command
and missile launching stations.
Miss Dailey, would you press
this button here? The red one.
- The one in the middle?
- Yes, ma'am.
Oh, my God! It's the wrong one!
It's a joke! You didn't blow up anything.
Look what you did do.
"Distinguished visitors
from Birmingham."
Last week I had the governor
of New Jersey in this chair.
He said, "Colonel Thomas, why are we
at DEFCON 4?" as we are right now.
Why are we at DEFCON 4?
The Soviets saw our bombers scramble
and went on alert.
We told them it was just an exercise, but
we want them to relax their posture first.
Wait. Wait.
- Give me that.
- Oh, Christ. Another tour group.
Just what we need today. Why don't they
go to Disneyland where they belong?
- Well, I think they're going to tomorrow.
- OK. All set? Oh, here.
It was a one-in-a-million shot.
There was an open line
at our division in Sunnyvale.
- John. John McKittrick, George Wigan.
- How are you?
George is with the FBl.
He brought the kid in.
It looks like we've got
a high-school prank on our hands.
Paul, what happened?
The kid broke into the war game using a
password left by the original programmer.
- A password?
- Yes, sir.
None of my team even knew it was there.
Kid claims
he was looking for a toy company.
That's great!
Anybody in here buy that one?
We can find the password and take it out,
but it might help to beef up security.
Oh. Beef up, huh?
We did all that and he broke in again.
Kid says your computer called him.
What the hell is going on, John?
I woke up the president. I told him
we were under attack by the Russians.
You know what an idiot that makes me
look? Not to mention the general.
I think we're being a little naive here.
There is no way a high-school punk
can put a dime in a telephone
and break into our system.
He's got to be working
with somebody else.
He fits the profile perfectly.
He's intelligent, but an underachiever.
Alienated from his parents.
Has few friends.
Classic case
for recruitment by the Soviets.
What does this say
about the state of our country?
I mean, have you gotten any insight
as to why a bright boy like this
would jeopardise the lives of millions?
He says
he does this sort of thing for fun.
Dammit, John, I want some answers,
and I want 'em now!
- Let me talk to this little prick.
- I don't wanna talk. Just do it!
Come on, Paul.
Who do they belong to? Do you know?
What?
Good morning, sir.
- Where's the Lightman kid?
- In the infirmary, sir.
Hello, David. John McKittrick.
I run the computer facility here.
Sergeant, these aren't necessary,
the handcuffs?
No, sir.
Well, David, we called your parents.
We told them everything's fine.
No charges have been filed... yet.
a little time to sort things out here.
How much time?
Well, that depends on
how willing you are to cooperate.
Oh, of course.
Sergeant, would you tell the OD
I'm gonna take David for a little walk?
Let's go down to my office.
We'll be more comfortable there.
Go ahead.
You used to work with Stephen Falken?
I started as his assistant.
How d'you know?
