...about the connection between

the message and the disaster.

All right, so am I.

Then let me contact them, meet them,

find out what this is all about.

If confronted with a hostile power, only

the cabinet can decide to meet them.

I hope that while we're waiting,

another disaster doesn't occur.

We're pressing for

the earliest possible action.

The secretary of state and secretary

of defense are returning to the U.S.

If a meeting could be arranged

in the meantime...

...the only risk would be to me.

I feel personally responsible

for what happened.

I was in charge.

Hundreds of lives were lost.

My own wife's father--

If I had the authority, I'd grant it to you.

But we'll have to wait.

I promise we'll recommend that you

be authorized to make radio contact...

...and meet with....

With whoever they are.

-Are we through for the night?

-Yes...

...but we're going to ask you

to remain at your hotel.

-You mean I'm under detention?

-You may be needed at any time.

Major Huglin is assigned

as your liaison.

-Good night.

-Good night.

Dr. Marvin.

I don't like this watchdog routine

any better than you do.

I'm under orders, I have a job to do.

We're both on the same side.

-I'm sorry. I'm just tired and worried.

-I know.

You were there. You heard both sides.

Who do you agree with?

I agree with you about the urgency,

but they're right too.

They have a chain of command,

they have to be careful...

...and this thing may be too big

to allow for mistakes.

Russell Marvin calling

on 225.6 megacycles. Over.

Dr. Russell Marvin calling on

Are you listening?

If you hear me, please reply.

I am tuned in

on the same wavelength. Over.

We hear you, Dr. Marvin,

and we understand you.

Do you understand us?

Yes.

Who are you?

Listen. It is now 9:30 a.m.

Earth time, Greenwich Meridian Time.

We will be waiting

at exactly 11:
00 a.m....

...at the shore of

the Chesapeake Bay...

...where the North Beach Road

reaches the sea.

Do not raise an alarm,

and keep this appointment.

Listen to me.

I can't keep the appointment.

I'm under orders.

I'll be able to meet you in a few days.

Do you hear me? Over.

-Russ?

-Hello, hello.

Dr. Russell Marvin calling

on 225.6 megacycles.

Do you hear me?

Please come in. Over.

Eleven o'clock Greenwich time.

It'll be 6:
00 here.

I can just make it.

You're not going.

I heard you say you're under orders.

I didn't arrange this meeting.

I just asked them to wait.

Who ordered that radio?

I did, today. I was hoping

they'd let me use it.

You can't go. I've already lost Dad.

-You shouldn't have called them.

-Maybe I shouldn't have...

...and maybe I should.

But it's started now
