WEBVTT - S2 E3: L.M.O.E.

0:00:00.480 --> 0:00:04.680
<v Speaker 1>The control group depicts a nuclear catastrophe and the complete

0:00:04.680 --> 0:00:12.640
<v Speaker 1>annihilation of the human race. Listener discretion is advised this

0:00:12.880 --> 0:00:17.080
<v Speaker 1>time of uncertainty, being confined to your home or or

0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:20.880
<v Speaker 1>maybe a public shelter is going to be especially hard

0:00:20.960 --> 0:00:25.960
<v Speaker 1>on the little ones. Sometime between now and my next broadcast,

0:00:27.240 --> 0:00:30.200
<v Speaker 1>try to do a little something special for them, would you?

0:00:31.000 --> 0:00:33.880
<v Speaker 1>And I'm not just speaking to the mothers out there.

0:00:34.560 --> 0:00:38.280
<v Speaker 1>This is advice for the father's and also the big

0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:41.720
<v Speaker 1>brothers and big sisters who can hear mothers. It's Helen

0:00:41.800 --> 0:00:45.280
<v Speaker 1>Huntley's Christmas is just around the corner. It can't be.

0:00:45.479 --> 0:00:48.839
<v Speaker 1>I've got an idea. Why not create a major scene.

0:00:49.080 --> 0:00:52.519
<v Speaker 1>It is whatever scraps of paper or pipe cleaners or

0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:55.720
<v Speaker 1>any items you might have hand. She's talking about shelter

0:00:55.880 --> 0:00:58.360
<v Speaker 1>and getting through this. The power of the Christ Child

0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:03.800
<v Speaker 1>is in his story, not in the decorations. Tell that

0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:05.760
<v Speaker 1>story to your family. It is good to hear her

0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:08.440
<v Speaker 1>voice again, isn't it. If you're one of our Jewish

0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:11.320
<v Speaker 1>families here in New Cannan. I know you're listening to

0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:15.760
<v Speaker 1>Helen Huntley is a lie. Of course she is. She's

0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:18.360
<v Speaker 1>here in New Canaan. I'd like to thank the Civil

0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:22.560
<v Speaker 1>Defense and Conald Rad for allowing me to give anything

0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:28.480
<v Speaker 1>to watch a cartoon right now, unexpectedly here. I hope

0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:33.760
<v Speaker 1>to spend more time with you in the hours ahead. Okay,

0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:36.360
<v Speaker 1>I just know it to the time when this is

0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:40.039
<v Speaker 1>all over, and I can come into your homes just

0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:43.000
<v Speaker 1>like I used to, and we can have a cup

0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:47.200
<v Speaker 1>of tea, share a laugh for two, and go back

0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:50.880
<v Speaker 1>to building the perfect home for ourselves and our families.

0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:54.720
<v Speaker 1>Give her ten seconds until next time. Ready, norm May

0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:58.400
<v Speaker 1>you be held within the protective embrace of our creator.

<v Speaker 1>you wish to cause that. My name is quasar One.

0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:05.880
<v Speaker 1>Welcome Quaid our one. If only you had come sooner.

0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:09.520
<v Speaker 1>I came as quickly as I could. He didn't expect

0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:13.000
<v Speaker 1>the end of the world to come so uckly. Who

0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:19.159
<v Speaker 1>could have predicted the fools with with their cook guns

0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:26.040
<v Speaker 1>They couldn't wait to use them. Do you have guns? No,

0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:32.919
<v Speaker 1>you were the scientific minds like you. Our mission was

0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:38.560
<v Speaker 1>to preserve life. That they would not listen. They'd never listen.

0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:43.159
<v Speaker 1>I wish there was something I could do to help. Well,

0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:50.560
<v Speaker 1>if you must know there is, tell me we must

0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:57.000
<v Speaker 1>turn off your radio. But why because they must not

0:04:57.440 --> 0:05:01.160
<v Speaker 1>know what it is we want you to do. If

0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:06.560
<v Speaker 1>they heard the shift, they would never allow it, and

0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:12.400
<v Speaker 1>maybe I shouldn't. It is a desperate mission. Never restore

0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:17.360
<v Speaker 1>life into Helios three. You, I will restore life to

0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:24.200

0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:31.400
<v Speaker 1>you will leaves, sire, And if you want to to hear,

0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:38.440
<v Speaker 1>you must turn off your communicator. Are you hearing this? Yes?

0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:41.280
<v Speaker 1>And you are instructed to turn around, to get back

0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:44.920
<v Speaker 1>in your ship and prepare for return launch. I should

0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:47.920
<v Speaker 1>at least hear them out. Look around you, quays or one,

0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:51.160
<v Speaker 1>you are the only living creature on their planet. I

0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:54.400
<v Speaker 1>forbid you to turn off your radio. Return to your capsule.

0:05:54.480 --> 0:06:01.640

0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:05.960
<v Speaker 1>a little bit curious? That settles it? No, do not

0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:09.800
<v Speaker 1>turn off your communicator. Pois are one? Do you hear me?

0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:14.159
<v Speaker 1>I forbid you to turn off for I will do

0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:17.279
<v Speaker 1>as you ask, if you will reveal the mission to me.

0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:50.200

0:09:55.440 --> 0:10:02.280
<v Speaker 1>mss lame for Dory, Dory, Thank you for you can.

0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:06.000
<v Speaker 1>You're quite welcome. We may run short of supply from

0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:09.720
<v Speaker 1>time to time, but kindness is one thing we should

0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:20.560
<v Speaker 1>never run out of. Mr Langford, Yes, oh please Wayne,

0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:26.840
<v Speaker 1>come in, have a seat. I wanted to apologize for

0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:31.640
<v Speaker 1>my little show of emotion back there. I'm sorry the

0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:36.120
<v Speaker 1>staff had to see that. I'll be fine for my

0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:39.520
<v Speaker 1>next broadcast. No more tears, and you won't see a

0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:43.000
<v Speaker 1>spectacle like that again on or off the air. We're

0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:47.559
<v Speaker 1>gonna get through this, I give you my word. It's

0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:52.160
<v Speaker 1>difficult to remain hopeful not knowing how long this might

0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:56.160
<v Speaker 1>go on or how much worse it could get. Surely

0:10:56.200 --> 0:11:01.040
<v Speaker 1>you're not hopeless, your Helen Houtley. Oh, I can hang

0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:04.880
<v Speaker 1>a happy face on just about anything, but hearing those

0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:11.000
<v Speaker 1>words coming out of my mouth words I had trouble believing. Well,

0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:14.480
<v Speaker 1>you may be in a shelter, don't take that to

0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:18.720
<v Speaker 1>mean that we're down for the count. Consider it more

0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:23.040
<v Speaker 1>of a standing eight, standing eight. What's that you see?

0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:27.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm an idea man. I've developed a number of programs

0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:32.640
<v Speaker 1>that have more strategic value than mere survival. Well, I'm

0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:36.480
<v Speaker 1>not sure I understand. It was my dream to take

0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:40.880
<v Speaker 1>something that would seem to represent defeat and turn it

0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:49.560
<v Speaker 1>into a symbol of strength and resilience, to weaponize the shelters.

0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:53.680
<v Speaker 1>You're going to you're going to tell me about this

0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:59.559
<v Speaker 1>weaponized shelter concept. Better than that, I'm gonna show you

0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:06.240
<v Speaker 1>several days past and still Nightingale received no communication from

0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:11.080
<v Speaker 1>Quaisar one, marooned on the lifeless planet known as Helios

0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:25.640
<v Speaker 1>three until one day, Capsule and open your highness. Someone

0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:28.719
<v Speaker 1>is climbing in the quaiser wise consul? Is it her?

0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:33.920
<v Speaker 1>I still unable to reach her space suits communicator? Once,

0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:36.280
<v Speaker 1>she sayside, she should be able to hear me through

0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:43.640
<v Speaker 1>the ship's radio. Quaisar one, can you hear me? Nightingale

0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:48.520
<v Speaker 1>to Quasar one, Please respond, I hear you, mother, It's

0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:53.760
<v Speaker 1>her exeptron. Assume remote navigation now, Quaisar one. We thought

0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:58.000
<v Speaker 1>you were dead. What happened to your suits communicator? It's

0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:03.360
<v Speaker 1>been reprogrammed by home, by the ghosts of Helios three.

0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:08.760
<v Speaker 1>Have you gone mad? It's a miracle you survived. Strip

0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:14.800
<v Speaker 1>yourself in and we'll bring you home. Uh er, what

0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:19.680
<v Speaker 1>is it? Remote navigation appears to be disabled, quays Are one.

0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:25.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm not coming home, mother, not coming home. I will

0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:29.360
<v Speaker 1>eventually after I've completed my mission. But my dear you

0:13:29.559 --> 0:13:34.240
<v Speaker 1>arrived too late. You did everything you could. Now there's

0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:36.920
<v Speaker 1>one more thing I can do. And what is that?

0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:43.800
<v Speaker 1>Answer me? Quays are one, Just a little detour control

0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:47.920
<v Speaker 1>panel to change the course of Helios creal. Where are

0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:54.120
<v Speaker 1>they sending you? Not where? When I your reaers in

0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:58.880
<v Speaker 1>return for no plays are one? No no, no. Time

0:13:59.000 --> 0:14:02.560
<v Speaker 1>is not blast. You cannot reshape it to satisfy yours.

0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:08.640
<v Speaker 1>So the arrangements have already been made. It won't take long.

0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:13.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm going back to Helio's three, before the devastation. I

0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:16.040
<v Speaker 1>won't permit you to throw your life away to save

0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:19.440
<v Speaker 1>a planet too foolish to save itself. It's so side.

0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:24.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, mother. The decision is mine and it's been made.

0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:27.240
<v Speaker 1>Think for a moment. If you're going into the past,

0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:30.120
<v Speaker 1>how can you possibly return? You might be going to

0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:32.720
<v Speaker 1>a time when the technology does not yet, when the

0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:35.880
<v Speaker 1>planet is saved, I can modify my ship to relaunch

0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:39.680
<v Speaker 1>and return to the present. They programmed all the technology

0:14:39.720 --> 0:14:43.960
<v Speaker 1>into my space suit. Wait, you allowed them access to

0:14:44.040 --> 0:14:53.560
<v Speaker 1>your suit? Yes, stand by. That's not good. They killed

0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:57.480
<v Speaker 1>an entire planet, and now all they can think of

0:14:57.560 --> 0:15:04.680
<v Speaker 1>doing is killing one more. Mother. They explained everything to me.

0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:10.800
<v Speaker 1>I trust them completely. Everything made sense. I want to

0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:18.080
<v Speaker 1>make you proud, mother. Prompt ready for launch, Come home

0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:23.360
<v Speaker 1>quais are one? Simply aboord the launch. Stay inside the

0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:27.440
<v Speaker 1>capsule with the hatchet closed. I'm sure within an hour

0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:30.400
<v Speaker 1>or two Zeptron will have figured out a way and

0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:33.240
<v Speaker 1>allow my first mission to end in failure. I don't

0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:36.120
<v Speaker 1>want your life to end in failure. Quais are one?

0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:42.600
<v Speaker 1>Do you hear me? Abort the launch? Hi? Quais are one?

0:15:43.440 --> 0:16:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Please do everything you can. Try to reach the capsule.

0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:06.160
<v Speaker 1>If we can get access, we could reprogram everything while

0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:10.440
<v Speaker 1>she's in flight. How long will her journey take? She's

0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:15.320
<v Speaker 1>already there, already there, well, she never left Helios three.

0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:19.520
<v Speaker 1>She's there now. She um she got there two d

0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:23.920
<v Speaker 1>fifty years ago. We can still talk to her a

0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:27.880
<v Speaker 1>quarter millennium in the past. How it has to do

0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:30.680
<v Speaker 1>with the protonic energy It would take me too long

0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:33.520
<v Speaker 1>to explain it. I recommend we just try to reach

0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:44.480
<v Speaker 1>her now, go ahead. Nightingale to quais are one our communicators,

0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:47.960
<v Speaker 1>and I've often wondered if we could one back in time?

0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:50.160
<v Speaker 1>Can you hear me? We just had no one on

0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:55.160
<v Speaker 1>the other hand to talk to? Huh, Quais are one?

0:16:55.320 --> 0:17:01.960
<v Speaker 1>This is Nightingale. Come in, Quais are one? Nightingale to

0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:06.960
<v Speaker 1>quays are one? Can you hear us? Will ways are

0:17:07.080 --> 0:17:11.720
<v Speaker 1>one successfully traveled back in time? And if So what

0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:15.080
<v Speaker 1>will she find when she travels to the helios three

0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:19.520
<v Speaker 1>of the past. Can she affords the destruction of life

0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:22.880
<v Speaker 1>on the planet, will she ever be able to return

0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:27.000
<v Speaker 1>to Nightingale? Or the answer to these and other questions.

0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:35.679
<v Speaker 1>Tune in for the next exciting episode a Marakulk production.

0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:45.760
<v Speaker 1>This is the communications room at the e o C

0:17:46.280 --> 0:17:49.520
<v Speaker 1>where someone sits at the short wave radio twenty four

0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:53.600
<v Speaker 1>hours a day, usually in three shifts. Hi, what's your

0:17:53.680 --> 0:17:58.200
<v Speaker 1>name on Broadney Blundin's And what do you do when

0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:02.080
<v Speaker 1>you're not operating the radio? I work in a hardware

0:18:02.119 --> 0:18:04.880
<v Speaker 1>store here in New canaan Ham. Radio is just one

0:18:04.880 --> 0:18:07.280
<v Speaker 1>of my hobbies, so when they were looking for volunteers,

0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:09.800
<v Speaker 1>it was pretty easy for me to get the job. Now,

0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:13.840
<v Speaker 1>is the radio your only responsibility, No, ma'am. I also

0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:18.200
<v Speaker 1>manage our educational materials. Now what sort of materials would

0:18:18.200 --> 0:18:21.679
<v Speaker 1>that be? Some of the equipment, like the decimeters, have

0:18:21.800 --> 0:18:26.960
<v Speaker 1>their own operations manuals. Plus there's a shelter operations manual,

0:18:27.320 --> 0:18:31.159
<v Speaker 1>and there are some sound recordings as well. UH music

0:18:31.440 --> 0:18:34.439
<v Speaker 1>if we need to calm our nerves, some nursery rhymes

0:18:34.480 --> 0:18:38.600
<v Speaker 1>for the children, and UH instructions for some of the

0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:42.119
<v Speaker 1>more advanced shelter functions. Could I hear one of those?

0:18:42.240 --> 0:18:49.960
<v Speaker 1>Of course? I just place the disk here. M H.

0:18:50.680 --> 0:18:55.399
<v Speaker 1>Wind the gramophone? Now why is it hand cracked instead

0:18:55.400 --> 0:18:57.639
<v Speaker 1>of electric? So it can still be played if we

0:18:57.760 --> 0:19:04.679
<v Speaker 1>lose electrical power. Collect here, I'll play a little Civil

0:19:04.760 --> 0:19:09.200
<v Speaker 1>Defense audio disc series c h A V disc two

0:19:10.040 --> 0:19:16.960
<v Speaker 1>side A mother goose rhyme Old King Cole was a

0:19:17.080 --> 0:19:19.919
<v Speaker 1>merry old soul, and a merry old soul was he.

0:19:20.800 --> 0:19:23.959
<v Speaker 1>He called for his pipe, and he called for his bowl,

0:19:24.400 --> 0:19:27.800
<v Speaker 1>and he called for his fiddler. Three. So these are

0:19:27.840 --> 0:19:31.480
<v Speaker 1>records for children with me? This one is, but not

0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:34.200
<v Speaker 1>all of them. King Cole was a merry old soul,

0:19:34.280 --> 0:19:37.919
<v Speaker 1>and a merry old soul was he. He called for

0:19:38.000 --> 0:19:40.040
<v Speaker 1>his pipe, and he called for his bowl, and he

0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:43.360
<v Speaker 1>called for his fiddlers. Do you have any Elvis Presley

0:19:43.560 --> 0:19:47.840
<v Speaker 1>or rolling stones in there? No? Nothing like that, Thank

0:19:47.960 --> 0:19:54.120
<v Speaker 1>Heaven can excuse me. And she's doing such a good job,

0:19:54.240 --> 0:19:57.399
<v Speaker 1>isn't she ever thought I'd see her working in person?

0:19:57.560 --> 0:20:02.919
<v Speaker 1>So here's one of the records for adults, Conflict resolution

0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:09.399
<v Speaker 1>and compromise. Oh that sounds terribly interesting. Some of the

0:20:09.520 --> 0:20:12.080
<v Speaker 1>fens audio instructions. Can I get the keys to the

0:20:12.080 --> 0:20:15.960
<v Speaker 1>EOC storage room. Oh it's unlocked. No need to prop

0:20:16.000 --> 0:20:19.960
<v Speaker 1>out the vent under the circumstances. But do you have

0:20:20.040 --> 0:20:23.159
<v Speaker 1>the key to lock it? But the storage room is

0:20:23.160 --> 0:20:29.360
<v Speaker 1>mentor in limited? Sorry, I have the key topics. I

0:20:29.440 --> 0:20:33.800
<v Speaker 1>have it for the proper management of I suppose is

0:20:33.840 --> 0:20:42.520
<v Speaker 1>there some reason you don't have key? Please? Okay, well here,

0:20:43.119 --> 0:20:46.080
<v Speaker 1>I'll take the key off and you can return it.

0:20:47.800 --> 0:20:51.560
<v Speaker 1>It is important that ideas be shared in a calm,

0:20:52.040 --> 0:20:56.720
<v Speaker 1>rational way and that there be an impartial arbitrator to

0:20:56.840 --> 0:21:03.720
<v Speaker 1>help settle these disagreements. Fascinating, just fascinating. Thank you for

0:21:03.760 --> 0:21:06.159
<v Speaker 1>taking the time to show us your office. It's been

0:21:06.200 --> 0:21:10.040
<v Speaker 1>a pleasure. The communications office is only one of the

0:21:10.160 --> 0:21:13.200
<v Speaker 1>many ways that the Civil Defense is keeping our community

0:21:13.359 --> 0:21:18.600
<v Speaker 1>united and functioning during these uncertain times. In my next segment,

0:21:18.800 --> 0:21:21.480
<v Speaker 1>i'll find out what's for dinner as we meet the

0:21:21.520 --> 0:21:24.679
<v Speaker 1>crew in charge of keeping the shelter residence well fed.

0:21:25.560 --> 0:21:28.560
<v Speaker 1>Thank you again for allowing me into your home, and

0:21:28.600 --> 0:21:31.159
<v Speaker 1>I look forward to spending more time with you, whether

0:21:31.200 --> 0:21:33.880
<v Speaker 1>it's here in the shelter or once we're safely back

0:21:33.920 --> 0:21:37.879
<v Speaker 1>at home. And now I returned the microphone to Connell

0:21:37.960 --> 0:21:45.919
<v Speaker 1>Rad for the latest bulletins and advisories. Hello, can you

0:21:45.960 --> 0:21:48.960

0:21:53.480 --> 0:22:08.160
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmm, Mom, she's looking at me. Hi, Lorraine, I'm Rebecca.

0:22:19.080 --> 0:22:24.040
<v Speaker 1>All ranna truck off the road? Do you need to

0:22:24.040 --> 0:22:27.480
<v Speaker 1>go to a hospital? I just came from the hospital.

0:22:28.960 --> 0:22:31.080
<v Speaker 1>Is that how you came to meet Mr noon In?

0:22:31.400 --> 0:22:38.320
<v Speaker 1>Come on, mom? What well you're in the hospital? They

0:22:38.359 --> 0:22:42.800

0:22:45.240 --> 0:22:54.240
<v Speaker 1>And your boyfriend she's stole there. I guess did he survive? Beky?

0:22:56.240 --> 0:23:01.640
<v Speaker 1>I think so. Nobody's told me other wise. I never

0:23:01.680 --> 0:23:05.200
<v Speaker 1>saw him once we were inside this morning. They told

0:23:05.200 --> 0:23:08.840
<v Speaker 1>me I needed to leave the hospital because I had

0:23:08.880 --> 0:23:11.920
<v Speaker 1>to get ready for all the wounded, all the wounded

0:23:12.680 --> 0:23:18.160
<v Speaker 1>from this war or whatever it is. Did you see

0:23:18.280 --> 0:23:21.400
<v Speaker 1>any wounded? Was it people from the outlaw? I told

0:23:21.400 --> 0:23:25.359
<v Speaker 1>me I needed to go to a shelter, and Noonon

0:23:25.640 --> 0:23:32.760
<v Speaker 1>was there and he volunteered to take me. Volunteer to

0:23:32.800 --> 0:23:38.000
<v Speaker 1>take you to a shelter. Yes, and he brought you

0:23:38.080 --> 0:23:48.240
<v Speaker 1>here instead. That's right. The shelters are too crowded. Listen

0:23:48.320 --> 0:23:54.480
<v Speaker 1>that I need to sleep. You're sure you okay, I'm sure,

0:23:55.280 --> 0:23:58.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm okay. I just really need to close my eyes.

0:24:00.080 --> 0:24:18.320
<v Speaker 1>I guess it's okay, mom, Sure, thank you? So Mr Langford,

0:24:18.480 --> 0:24:21.720
<v Speaker 1>do all government idea men keep their secret weapon hidden

0:24:21.760 --> 0:24:30.400
<v Speaker 1>in the supply closet? Should I be concerned about what

0:24:32.480 --> 0:24:40.119
<v Speaker 1>skip it? So? These are core supplies, backups of backups,

0:24:40.280 --> 0:24:46.439
<v Speaker 1>and when I'm looking for is usually placed in a

0:24:46.720 --> 0:24:51.560
<v Speaker 1>box in the deepest corner. So it's one of the

0:24:51.760 --> 0:24:57.359
<v Speaker 1>last boxes opened. And what is inside this secret box?

0:24:57.359 --> 0:24:59.360
<v Speaker 1>If you whould be able to work my way all

0:24:59.400 --> 0:25:06.480
<v Speaker 1>the way acts should be? Yes, there it is right

0:25:06.520 --> 0:25:09.520
<v Speaker 1>where I told them to put it, all right here.

0:25:10.800 --> 0:25:15.199
<v Speaker 1>I lift it out and you pull okay, sure, just

0:25:15.320 --> 0:25:23.680
<v Speaker 1>slide it over there. Okay? Can we open it? And

0:25:23.880 --> 0:25:27.480
<v Speaker 1>it won't hurt us to take a look. Now I'm

0:25:27.520 --> 0:25:30.720
<v Speaker 1>allowed to see it. It was put there so it

0:25:30.760 --> 0:25:34.680
<v Speaker 1>would eventually be discovered to open it to see what's inside.

0:25:37.280 --> 0:25:48.040
<v Speaker 1>The first case contains the instructions heavy instructions another record player.

0:25:48.600 --> 0:25:51.560
<v Speaker 1>M hmm, you must have gotten a deal, Grandma phone.

0:25:52.160 --> 0:25:54.560
<v Speaker 1>They were my idea. They run on the spring that

0:25:54.840 --> 0:25:59.399
<v Speaker 1>crank and instead of electric g amplification, that uses a diaphragm,

0:25:59.400 --> 0:26:04.840
<v Speaker 1>a dia am in case is no electricity. Yeah, clearly

0:26:04.880 --> 0:26:08.880
<v Speaker 1>you didn't tune into this afternoon's broadcast. And here's what

0:26:08.920 --> 0:26:17.240
<v Speaker 1>I've been telling you about. Mm hmm mhmm Elmo l

<v Speaker 1>You see, l m o E. Project ELMO stands for

0:27:14.600 --> 0:27:19.280
<v Speaker 1>last Man on Earth. It is intended for use if

0:27:19.320 --> 0:27:23.280
<v Speaker 1>you believe you are either the highest ranking or perhaps

0:27:23.359 --> 0:27:28.840
<v Speaker 1>the only American alive at this moment. You see, the

0:27:28.960 --> 0:27:33.560
<v Speaker 1>United States is a government. Are you telling me that

0:27:36.800 --> 0:27:41.680
<v Speaker 1>it's a most important? That's genius of Project Elmo. There

0:27:41.720 --> 0:27:44.399
<v Speaker 1>isn't just one button there's one in the white huts.

0:27:44.840 --> 0:27:50.040
<v Speaker 1>Several desks of generals about two spread across the country,

0:27:50.119 --> 0:27:53.000
<v Speaker 1>so they'll be accessible to the better bid in the

0:27:53.080 --> 0:27:56.879
<v Speaker 1>event of an emergence. You know what, I'd rather we

0:27:57.080 --> 0:28:01.280
<v Speaker 1>didn't open that. It's okay, it's not gonna go off. Still,

0:28:01.359 --> 0:28:04.760
<v Speaker 1>I'd feel much more comfortable if you see that switch

0:28:04.840 --> 0:28:08.400
<v Speaker 1>right over there. You have to open on an interval

0:28:08.760 --> 0:28:12.000
<v Speaker 1>dial in a code number. But once you do that, yeah,

0:28:13.040 --> 0:28:19.960
<v Speaker 1>that little switch would wipe out the Soviet You are, China, Japan, last, Europe,

0:28:20.000 --> 0:28:24.840
<v Speaker 1>pretty much every recording. But don't worry. Even if you

0:28:24.960 --> 0:28:28.560
<v Speaker 1>flip the switch, it wouldn't work. Hold on, hold on,

0:28:29.400 --> 0:28:31.879
<v Speaker 1>let me try to follow you on this. You have

0:28:31.960 --> 0:28:36.600
<v Speaker 1>two hundred missil anchers hidden embasements across the country. That's right,

0:28:38.960 --> 0:28:46.040
<v Speaker 1>don't work. They weren't worked now, but on the proper circumstances,

0:28:46.160 --> 0:28:49.320
<v Speaker 1>wipe that. The Eastern Humistry Operations l m o E.

0:28:50.280 --> 0:28:54.640
<v Speaker 1>The Last Man on Earth program was designed on two points.

0:28:54.760 --> 0:28:58.600
<v Speaker 1>One did every American should have the authority to launch

0:28:58.680 --> 0:29:03.360
<v Speaker 1>a full scale retail editory strike if there is no

0:29:03.480 --> 0:29:08.080
<v Speaker 1>longer an armed forces chain of political command has been

0:29:08.120 --> 0:29:14.240
<v Speaker 1>a ematicated. This average American would have the right to

0:29:14.320 --> 0:29:23.600
<v Speaker 1>make that decision work. Until that's supposed to work, the

0:29:23.680 --> 0:29:26.280
<v Speaker 1>unit transmits a signal that is picked up by air.

0:29:27.320 --> 0:29:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Those signals are retransmitted up the existing chain of command.

0:29:31.480 --> 0:29:35.520
<v Speaker 1>There's military base. If they receive a launch code and

0:29:35.640 --> 0:29:37.760
<v Speaker 1>know that there's no attack coming, they just kill the

0:29:37.800 --> 0:29:42.960
<v Speaker 1>signal fells alarmed. But if that base has been hit,

0:29:43.920 --> 0:29:48.520
<v Speaker 1>then the signal automatically bounces to another military base and

0:29:48.640 --> 0:29:54.479
<v Speaker 1>another Everyone has the opportunity to cancel. But if no

0:29:54.520 --> 0:29:58.400
<v Speaker 1>one cancels, if the network goes down and the signal

0:29:58.560 --> 0:30:01.160
<v Speaker 1>was allowed to travel all the way to the top,

0:30:01.840 --> 0:30:05.920
<v Speaker 1>then the missiles well fired. Eventually the missiles will find

0:30:06.400 --> 0:30:09.400
<v Speaker 1>of the US armed force. What's the second principle if

0:30:09.480 --> 0:30:12.560
<v Speaker 1>none of these offices is available, that the Russians don't

0:30:12.600 --> 0:30:15.760
<v Speaker 1>want to die any more than we do. So if

0:30:15.760 --> 0:30:22.480
<v Speaker 1>we get bombed in Colorado Springs and Cheyenne Mouth, it's

0:30:22.600 --> 0:30:28.400
<v Speaker 1>rather saying I'd say you're the acronym will be mutually

0:30:28.760 --> 0:30:34.560
<v Speaker 1>assured construction personal we prefer the term automatic mutual annihilation.

0:30:35.880 --> 0:30:40.040
<v Speaker 1>American submarines off the coast of Russia, armed with nuclear

0:30:40.160 --> 0:30:43.960
<v Speaker 1>warheads will be given the attack order and they will

0:30:44.000 --> 0:30:47.040
<v Speaker 1>be compelled by duty to carry out the command. What

0:30:47.080 --> 0:30:50.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm about to tell you is strictly confidential the E

0:30:50.560 --> 0:30:53.160
<v Speaker 1>l M. And I'm sharing this information with you. We

0:30:53.360 --> 0:30:56.400
<v Speaker 1>encourage you because I believe the moment can be industry

0:30:56.520 --> 0:30:59.560
<v Speaker 1>or in actions and how this information is sharing a

0:30:59.640 --> 0:31:02.640
<v Speaker 1>prayer and received. The fate of humanity, the average American

0:31:02.880 --> 0:31:07.720
<v Speaker 1>very well rest in your hands. Yes, what if I

0:31:07.760 --> 0:31:13.960
<v Speaker 1>told you wish to continue that America has not for

0:31:14.120 --> 0:31:17.240
<v Speaker 1>instructions on how to m What if I told you

0:31:17.400 --> 0:31:23.200
<v Speaker 1>that it was all an elaborate exercience designed to test

0:31:23.240 --> 0:31:29.000
<v Speaker 1>our readiness and expores any weaknesses in our defense. Wait? Wait,

0:31:29.600 --> 0:31:34.160
<v Speaker 1>cities have been destroyed. Have you seen it with your

0:31:34.200 --> 0:31:40.600
<v Speaker 1>own eyes? No, because it's too dangerous to A military

0:31:40.720 --> 0:31:44.840
<v Speaker 1>plane crashed into Baker's Ridge, a decommissioned B five heavy

0:31:45.040 --> 0:31:48.720
<v Speaker 1>which the Army was planning to scrap. I convinced them

0:31:48.760 --> 0:31:53.040
<v Speaker 1>to agree to a controlled crash landing in an unpopulated area.

0:31:53.720 --> 0:31:59.480
<v Speaker 1>The US Army, Army, Air Force, National Guard, Office of

0:31:59.560 --> 0:32:05.160
<v Speaker 1>Civil Offense, it goes all the way up. They're all

0:32:05.240 --> 0:32:10.920
<v Speaker 1>part of this conspiracy exercise, or if you want to

0:32:10.920 --> 0:32:17.200
<v Speaker 1>call it by its official name, OPAL. All contained within

0:32:17.240 --> 0:32:24.040
<v Speaker 1>the valley where the military has set up communications blockade,

0:32:24.600 --> 0:32:28.760
<v Speaker 1>the first of its kind. My idea, why are you

0:32:28.840 --> 0:32:33.000
<v Speaker 1>sharing these secrets with me? In three days, we're going

0:32:33.040 --> 0:32:36.400
<v Speaker 1>to sound the all clear. And since you've become such

0:32:36.400 --> 0:32:41.720
<v Speaker 1>an impressive communicator keeping the world calm during an apocalypse,

0:32:42.280 --> 0:32:45.520
<v Speaker 1>we would like for you to continue being the face

0:32:45.760 --> 0:32:52.120
<v Speaker 1>of civil defense and to continue carrying our messages preparedness,

0:32:52.560 --> 0:33:00.760
<v Speaker 1>defense and a means of retaliation. So this, this whole

0:33:00.840 --> 0:33:04.960
<v Speaker 1>thing is a big commercial for the Last Minute on

0:33:05.000 --> 0:33:07.760
<v Speaker 1>Earth program. Just think of us as another one of

0:33:07.800 --> 0:33:14.280
<v Speaker 1>your sponsors. So three days from now, wouldn't you sound

0:33:14.280 --> 0:33:17.480
<v Speaker 1>the all clear. I'll be the one to stand in

0:33:17.520 --> 0:33:20.880
<v Speaker 1>front of a camera and explain that it was all

0:33:20.920 --> 0:33:25.640
<v Speaker 1>an exercise. People will respond to the announcement more favorably

0:33:26.640 --> 0:33:31.640
<v Speaker 1>if it comes from you. I mean, the character you play,

0:33:33.000 --> 0:33:36.240
<v Speaker 1>an enterprising woman like you, should welcome the chance to

0:33:36.280 --> 0:33:39.800
<v Speaker 1>get out of Eden Valley. What's wrong with Eden Valley?

0:33:40.120 --> 0:33:45.200
<v Speaker 1>Nothing much. I'm sure there are benefits to being cut

0:33:45.240 --> 0:33:48.280
<v Speaker 1>off from the rest of the world, But once cable

0:33:48.360 --> 0:33:51.920
<v Speaker 1>comes over that mountain, New Canaan won't even be a

0:33:51.960 --> 0:34:02.560
<v Speaker 1>small pond anymore. Time for us to get out the

0:34:02.680 --> 0:34:09.440
<v Speaker 1>control Group is a production of iHeart Radio, written and
