We've moved as many of our forces away from our bases as possible, but we've already sustained heavy losses. I spoke with the joint chiefs when they arrived at NORAD. They agree we must launch a counteroffensive with a full nuclear strike. Over American soil? You're saying, at this point, we should sacrifice more innocent American civilians? Is that right? Sir, if we don't strike soon there may not be much of an America left to defend. Sir, they've taken out NORAD. What? It's gone, sir. My God. The vice president, joint chiefs. Mr. President, we must launch. A delay now would be more costly than when you waited to evacuate the cities. No, no. You're not going to launch nuclear weapons. You're going to kill them and us at the same time. If we fire nukes, then everybody else is going to fire them. You are a guest here. Ever hear of nuclear winter? It's the end of life as we know it. Do you hear what they're talking about? Don't even think about it. I don't have to go. It can't be allowed. Shut up! Captain, get him out of here! Hey, don't tell him to shut up! You'd all be dead now if it wasn't for my David. None of you did anything to prevent this. There was nothing we could do. We were totally unprepared for this. Aw! Don't give me unprepared. Come on,Julius. It was in the 1950s. You had that spaceship. David: Dad. Julius: Yeah, that thing that you found in New Mexico. Dad, no. Not the spaceship. Roswell. Roswell, New Mexico. Yeah. You had the spaceship, and you had the bodies. They were all locked up in a bunker. Where was that? David? In Area 51, right? Area 51. You knew then, and you did nothing.
