Holocaust 2000 Page #3

Mr. Caine,

I shall do everything in my power

to keep this thermonuclear plant

from being built.

Mr. Prime Minister, you're taking on

a very grave responsibility.

Now this project could bring

progress and prosperity

to the whole third world,

including your own country.

I admit that's one

of the possibilities.

But the risk frightens me.

Wait a minute.

Your Excellency!

Now what risks?

You intend

to keep the heat of the sun

locked in there.

And if it escaped your control

for even one second?

In my report,

you'll find that this plant

has 10 automatic

security systems,

- each one independent--

- Ms. Golan?

A copy to Mr. Caine.

- Thank you.

- I am familiar with the plans.

And I prepared that report

for you to read.

And you consider these

scientific arguments?

Probably not,

but this project involves

millions of people

who know

nothing about science.

And they'll ask you

only one question:

can you guarantee

your plant is totally safe?

Well, that's like asking a man

you buy a house from

to guarantee that the house

will never catch fire.

We are not speaking about

a house alone, Mr. Caine,

but of the whole world.

Countries around us

have nuclear devices,

and one explosion here

could set off

a chain reaction

of nuclear explosions...

and turn this planet

into a ball of fire.

In front of each of you

is a copy of Harbin"; report.

Very interesting reading.

Study it.

He's tough--

very tough.

During the next few weeks I'm going to

have to play all the political angles

which leaves you 12 gentlemen

with the scientific,

engineering

and above all

security problems.

Thank you, gentlemen.

Maybe there's still time--

if we're lucky.

Go on.

Isn't it still salmon season

in Scotland?

What are you talking about?

Leaving the world to its fate

and go fishing.

Huh?

- Wouldn't that be great?

- Be serious, young man.

What you've got to fish up

is one of your brilliant ideas.

- And in a hurry too.

- Yeah, you're right.

The other countries are going to be

influenced by Harbin's statements.

They'll be expecting foolproof answers

from me at the Geneva conference.

Supposing you were to go

to Geneva with someone

whose reputation in the field

was incontestable?

Who?

Someone who backed

your ideas up to the hilt.

Who do you have in mind?

My old professor Meyer--

Ernst Meyer.

- Meyer the Nobel Prize winner.

- Mm-hmm.

Do you think we can get him?

Ah, Mr. Caine, at last I have the honor

of meeting you in person.

Dr. Meyer,

I'm the one that's honored.

- Hello, Father.

- Angel!

As a matter of fact,

I asked your son to come.

As an ex-student of mine,

he understands me-- I hope.
