The 27th Day Page #6

John

I'm still listening.

I wish there was some

way we could find

out what's happening

with the others.

Are you starting that again?

Just wish we knew.

But we don't..

We can't.

Let's hope we won't.

We who are supposed to have the

finest scientific

minds in the world

cannot open one small box.

Sir, it resists every test

known to modern science.

You've heard the news from our

English friends?

They believe it is a weapon

There's no indication that...

I am indicating the

danger of other nations

discovering the

answer before we do.

I trust this danger is obvious.

We shall continue our efforts.

Thank you, gentlemen.

- Well?

- Nothing, sir.

You think he's lying?

No.

He's not clever enough

to have thought

out a story as

incredible as the one he tells.

There's something

he's not telling me.

Exactly.

But we've been over the

story a hundred times.

It's taken tremendous courage

for him to go on like this.

Even torture cannot break him.

He must be broken

He insists that the

contents of the box

will be useless if he dies.

He's right.

The Chinese girl.

The capsules disintegrated

with her death.

You must find a way

to make Godofsky talk.

Yes, sir.

Oh, and Gregor

Yes, sir?

How difficult do you think

it will be to get to Bechner?

I'll find out, sir.

You liar.

You filthy, traitorous liar.

It was a weapon.

And you pretended that you didn't know.

Look,

America reveals

space box weapon.

American warmongers

are screaming

that knowledge of

the alien weapon

makes them

undisputed rulers of the world.

Ivan Godofsky

who refused his country

information which might

have protected it against

the American threats,

will go down as the greatest

traitor this country has ever known.

You must tell me the truth.

Tell me the truth, Ivan!

What is it?

Shock.

You've pushed him too far.

- How long?

- There's no way of telling.

Professor, I wonder if

you fully understand

the concern that has

ripped the world?

It is because of that concern

that they must withhold my information.

The White House feels

that you should

give us some idea of

the alien's mission.

Don't you see that

by remaining silent,

you create even

more apprehension?

I see it, Mr. Ingram.

But unfortunately, there is nothing

I can do about it.

I have no choice but to trust

your judgment, Professor.

However, there are a few

questions I must ask.

I hope you'll at least

try to answer them.

I will if I can.

Does the alien in any way

constitute a menace

to our society?

I have already said that their

ethic does not permit them to

harm any

form of intelligent life.

Is this box or its contents

dangerous to our security?
