1
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,524
This is a story
that begins on a warm spring night...
2
00:00:22,589 --> 00:00:25,399
at a meeting of the 20th
Century Motors employees.
3
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,538
It was a night I'll never forget.
4
00:00:32,199 --> 00:00:34,941
When the owner of the company
died, his children took over...
5
00:00:35,035 --> 00:00:38,209
and brought in a new plan
to run the factory.
6
00:00:38,272 --> 00:00:42,516
The plan was that everybody would
work as hard as they could,
7
00:00:42,576 --> 00:00:46,888
but share in their salaries
and the profit based on need-
8
00:00:46,947 --> 00:00:49,791
That is, those who claimed
they needed the money most...
9
00:00:49,883 --> 00:00:51,920
were the ones
who got paid the most.
10
00:00:56,290 --> 00:01:00,534
This is a crucial moment
in the history of this company.
11
00:01:00,594 --> 00:01:04,736
Now remember, each of us
now belongs to the other...
12
00:01:04,798 --> 00:01:08,075
by the moral law we all voted
for and we all accept.
13
00:01:08,135 --> 00:01:09,876
I don't.
14
00:01:14,207 --> 00:01:15,709
I don't accept it.
15
00:01:16,877 --> 00:01:19,551
His words caused confusion,
16
00:01:19,613 --> 00:01:24,084
but he stood there like a man
who knew he was right.
17
00:01:24,151 --> 00:01:28,122
And I'm going to put a stop
to this once and for all.
18
00:01:31,892 --> 00:01:33,963
How?
19
00:01:36,897 --> 00:01:38,808
I'll stop
the motor of the world.
20
00:01:39,833 --> 00:01:41,403
Who is that guy?
21
00:01:44,671 --> 00:01:47,413
And with those
words, he was gone.
22
00:01:49,576 --> 00:01:53,183
In the 12 years that followed,
fights went out in the great factories.“.
23
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:57,456
Which had stood as solid
as oak trees for generations.
24
00:01:57,517 --> 00:02:03,092
Their gates closed as if some silent power
had turned them into lifeless shells.
25
00:02:03,156 --> 00:02:06,865
The world was quietly crumbling
with no end in sight.
26
00:02:14,034 --> 00:02:17,208
The high seas
weren't safe anymore.
27
00:02:17,304 --> 00:02:19,648
Cargo no longer reached
its destination.
28
00:02:25,278 --> 00:02:29,158
Shortages quietly quietly and it was
too expensive for most to drive,
29
00:02:29,216 --> 00:02:35,132
Regulations strangled the production
of coal, gas, oil and nuclear power.
30
00:02:35,188 --> 00:02:38,328
Power outages were frequent
because no copper was available...
31
00:02:38,392 --> 00:02:40,895
to maintain
the transmission lines.
32
00:02:40,994 --> 00:02:44,373
Taggart Transcontinental,
the largest railroad in the country,
33
00:02:44,464 --> 00:02:46,967
was one of the few things
still operating.
34
00:02:49,536 --> 00:02:53,177
We began to wonder, we began to
talk about' what he 'd said...
35
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,686
and thought maybe
he'd kept his word-
36
00:02:55,742 --> 00:02:58,985
that perhaps he had stopped
the motor of the world.
37
00:03:00,580 --> 00:03:05,427
Some even tried to look for him, but
he had vanished without a trace,
38
00:03:05,519 --> 00:03:08,022
and so had
a lot of other people.
39
00:03:11,425 --> 00:03:15,771
We wondered what sort of impossible
power he had to keep his promise.
40
00:03:27,274 --> 00:03:32,747
All the best and the brightest seemed
to be disappearing without explanation.
41
00:03:40,687 --> 00:03:42,792
Perhaps people kept asking
the question...
42
00:03:42,889 --> 00:03:46,735
because they knew something had
gone missing from the world.
43
00:03:48,795 --> 00:03:51,639
Perhaps this is why
we began to say it.
44
00:04:00,974 --> 00:04:03,784
We couldn't help but think
of the young lab engineer; .
45
00:04:03,877 --> 00:04:06,414
Who said he would stop
the motor of the world,.
46
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:07,982
You see, his name was-
47
00:04:08,081 --> 00:04:09,788
Who is John Gait?
John Gaff.
48
00:04:57,597 --> 00:04:59,372
Don't-Don't move.
49
00:04:59,466 --> 00:05:01,002
Miss Taggart, you're hurt.
50
00:05:02,636 --> 00:05:05,708
You know me.
For many years.
51
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,843
Do I know you?
I think you do.
52
00:05:10,177 --> 00:05:13,522
- What is your name?
- John Galt.
53
00:05:15,982 --> 00:05:18,326
Your name is John Galt.
54
00:05:18,385 --> 00:05:20,661
Why does that frighten you?
55
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,222
Because I believe you.
56
00:05:24,457 --> 00:05:25,959
Was it you I was following?
57
00:05:26,026 --> 00:05:27,562
Yes.
58
00:05:35,202 --> 00:05:36,840
Where's your plane?
59
00:05:36,903 --> 00:05:39,907
It's-
It's on the landing strip.
60
00:05:40,507 --> 00:05:42,009
Landing strip?
61
00:05:42,075 --> 00:05:44,555
On the other side
of the valley.
62
00:05:44,644 --> 00:05:46,146
There was no-
There was nothing.
63
00:05:46,213 --> 00:05:47,817
Look. Closely.
64
00:05:47,881 --> 00:05:50,259
You see that refracted image?
65
00:05:54,254 --> 00:05:56,325
It's to keep out the uninvited.
66
00:06:13,073 --> 00:06:15,349
I'll call Doc Hendricks.
See what you can do.
67
00:06:15,408 --> 00:06:17,115
Right.
68
00:06:21,948 --> 00:06:24,792
Hey, Doc.
Yeah, it's the plane.
69
00:06:32,292 --> 00:06:35,102
Dagny. Are you all right?
70
00:06:35,195 --> 00:06:36,902
Is that Dr. Akston?
71
00:06:36,963 --> 00:06:38,909
Well, thank goodness for that.
72
00:06:38,965 --> 00:06:40,945
I saved what I could
from the wreck.
73
00:06:41,034 --> 00:06:43,776
The last time I saw you,
I told you you would never find him...
74
00:06:43,870 --> 00:06:45,543
and now here you are
in his arms.
75
00:06:45,605 --> 00:06:47,084
In whose arms?
76
00:06:47,140 --> 00:06:49,381
The man you were looking for-
my philosophy student.
77
00:06:50,477 --> 00:06:52,650
The man who invented the motor.
78
00:06:54,414 --> 00:06:56,826
You invented the motor?
79
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,732
You're lucky
you didn't break your neck.
80
00:07:04,925 --> 00:07:07,428
- Is she all right?
- Appears to be.
81
00:07:07,494 --> 00:07:09,064
Well, we didn't plan for this.
82
00:07:10,263 --> 00:07:12,300
She'll be my responsibility.
83
00:07:15,835 --> 00:07:17,781
Where are we?
84
00:07:17,837 --> 00:07:19,339
Mulligan's Valley.
85
00:07:19,439 --> 00:07:21,316
Midas.
86
00:07:22,642 --> 00:07:25,521
That was quite a stunt, Dagny.
What are you doing here?
87
00:07:25,612 --> 00:07:27,421
I saw your plane.
88
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,187
I never imagined
it was being piloted...
89
00:07:29,282 --> 00:07:32,923
by one of only two people
still missing from this valley.
90
00:07:32,986 --> 00:07:34,488
Who's the other?
91
00:07:34,587 --> 00:07:37,033
Hank Rearden, of course.
92
00:07:39,759 --> 00:07:41,830
Glad you're in one piece.
93
00:07:43,964 --> 00:07:46,467
Doc Hendricks will meet you.
94
00:07:46,533 --> 00:07:48,809
If she's up for it, bring
her by my house tonight.
95
00:07:48,868 --> 00:07:50,677
I'll arrange something.
96
00:08:45,158 --> 00:08:47,263
Your house?
Mine, yeah.
97
00:08:49,496 --> 00:08:51,942
All right.
Nice and easy.
98
00:08:53,099 --> 00:08:55,272
Hi, Dagny-
99
00:08:55,368 --> 00:08:57,780
I am Dr. Thomas Hendricks.
100
00:08:57,904 --> 00:09:00,077
May I have a look at your injuries?
The neurosurgeon?
101
00:09:00,173 --> 00:09:04,781
Yes. But here in the valley, I
practice other medicine as well.
102
00:09:07,680 --> 00:09:11,594
Okay. This will only take
a second.
103
00:09:11,684 --> 00:09:16,099
It's a diagnostic device I
developed here in Atlantis.
104
00:09:18,124 --> 00:09:20,035
Every doctor should have one.
105
00:09:20,093 --> 00:09:22,972
It's amazing what can be
accomplished without red tape.
106
00:09:29,102 --> 00:09:32,743
Okay. Good news.
Nothing serious.
107
00:09:32,806 --> 00:09:35,252
Sprained ankle,
some bruised ribs.
108
00:09:35,308 --> 00:09:37,413
No sign of a concussion.
109
00:09:37,477 --> 00:09:42,756
So, I would like you to stay off your
feet for a few days and get some rest.
110
00:09:42,816 --> 00:09:44,887
Call me if you have
any questions.
111
00:09:44,951 --> 00:09:47,227
- Thank you, Doctor.
- You're welcome.
112
00:09:47,287 --> 00:09:48,766
Send me the bill.
113
00:09:48,822 --> 00:09:51,826
Absolutely not. No, I-
I will pay for this myself.
114
00:09:53,460 --> 00:09:55,633
We'll discuss that later.
115
00:09:58,398 --> 00:10:00,173
Our first trespasser.
116
00:10:00,266 --> 00:10:02,177
- Mm-hmm. Thank you, Doctor.
- All right.
117
00:10:05,472 --> 00:10:07,850
So you invented the motor?
118
00:10:07,941 --> 00:10:09,579
Let's get you to your room.
119
00:10:18,585 --> 00:10:20,758
I can walk.
I know.
120
00:10:24,491 --> 00:10:26,027
Here we are.
121
00:10:29,262 --> 00:10:33,369
- Am I a guest or a prisoner?
- Well, that choice is yours.
122
00:10:35,034 --> 00:10:37,640
How can I make that choice when
I'm dealing with a stranger?
123
00:10:37,704 --> 00:10:39,183
But you're not.
124
00:10:39,272 --> 00:10:41,445
Didn't you name the John
Gall line after me?
125
00:10:41,508 --> 00:10:44,455
Yes, I did. But I named it
after my enemy.
126
00:10:44,511 --> 00:10:47,014
Well, that's the contradiction you're
going to have to figure out...
127
00:10:47,113 --> 00:10:49,559
sooner or later.
128
00:10:49,649 --> 00:10:51,822
It was you, wasn't it?
129
00:10:51,885 --> 00:10:53,728
You destroyed my line.
130
00:10:53,820 --> 00:10:55,356
You're the destroyer.
131
00:10:55,455 --> 00:10:57,162
Get some rest.
132
00:10:57,223 --> 00:10:58,725
Midas invited us to dinner.
133
00:10:58,825 --> 00:11:01,533
There will be some people there
looking forward to seeing you.
134
00:11:03,496 --> 00:11:05,737
Why should I trust you?
135
00:11:12,305 --> 00:11:14,876
The world crisis was worsening.
136
00:11:14,974 --> 00:11:18,148
And as the head of state announced
that he would address the nation,
137
00:11:18,211 --> 00:11:20,885
word was spreading quickly
that another giant of industry,
138
00:11:20,980 --> 00:11:23,324
Dagny Taggart,
had gone missing.
139
00:11:23,383 --> 00:11:26,227
Meanwhile, the government
again increased its reward...
140
00:11:26,319 --> 00:11:29,562
for the capture of pirate
Ragnar Danneskold.
141
00:11:51,744 --> 00:11:56,056
Dagny. For a woman that just fell out
of the sky, you look pretty damn good.
142
00:11:56,182 --> 00:11:59,026
Thank you, Midas. And you-
You look just the same.
143
00:11:59,085 --> 00:12:00,758
Come on in.
144
00:12:09,562 --> 00:12:13,066
Ladies and gentlemen,
Taggart Transcontinental.
145
00:12:17,303 --> 00:12:18,646
Hear, hear!
146
00:12:21,808 --> 00:12:24,812
Dagny, ifs wonderful
to have you here.
147
00:12:24,911 --> 00:12:26,891
Enjoy the evening.
148
00:12:26,946 --> 00:12:28,550
Thank you, Rebecca.
149
00:12:28,615 --> 00:12:30,822
Everyone here has a story.
150
00:12:30,950 --> 00:12:33,658
Is that Kay Ludlow?
Straight from Hollywood.
151
00:12:35,822 --> 00:12:37,460
How did you get here, Midas?
152
00:12:37,557 --> 00:12:42,404
Me'? I made my fortune lending people
money to buy houses and build businesses,
153
00:12:42,462 --> 00:12:45,238
and I only loaned to those people
I was confident could repay me.
154
00:12:45,331 --> 00:12:49,438
Sure. They called me headless,
which I could live with.
155
00:12:49,502 --> 00:12:54,679
But when they forced me to give loans
to people who could never pay me back,
156
00:12:54,774 --> 00:12:56,412
I got the hell out.
157
00:12:56,476 --> 00:12:59,480
Come. You must be hungry.
158
00:13:02,415 --> 00:13:06,488
When the politicians started
making medical decisions for me,
159
00:13:06,586 --> 00:13:09,089
I decided I couldn't
be a party to it anymore.
160
00:13:09,155 --> 00:13:13,365
Here in this valley, I treat my patients
using my professional judgment,
161
00:13:13,459 --> 00:13:15,803
not some political directive.
162
00:13:15,862 --> 00:13:19,139
Dagny, we are on strike.
163
00:13:19,198 --> 00:13:23,544
What happened to Midas,
what happened to Doc,
164
00:13:23,636 --> 00:13:25,673
it happened to each of us.
165
00:13:27,206 --> 00:13:30,210
No man belongs
to another, Dagny.
166
00:13:30,310 --> 00:13:33,018
But there are those in power who
would have you think otherwise.
167
00:13:34,147 --> 00:13:36,388
We honor charity
and benevolence,
168
00:13:36,482 --> 00:13:39,395
but it must be provided
on the giver's terms-
169
00:13:39,485 --> 00:13:41,988
voluntarily, and not by force.
170
00:13:42,055 --> 00:13:44,968
The powerful try to make us
feel guilty for our success.
171
00:13:45,024 --> 00:13:48,028
And we are guilty-guilty
for sacrificing ourselves...
172
00:13:48,127 --> 00:13:51,131
and for working
under their terms.
173
00:13:51,197 --> 00:13:54,474
So we had to withdraw,
to go on strike.
174
00:13:55,735 --> 00:13:58,011
But what about
what you left behind?
175
00:13:58,071 --> 00:13:59,982
We left nothing behind, Dagny.
176
00:14:00,039 --> 00:14:04,146
What-We took with us
the only real thing of value.
177
00:14:04,210 --> 00:14:07,589
Dagny, this is a strike
of our minds.
178
00:14:09,816 --> 00:14:11,853
So what are you demanding?
179
00:14:11,918 --> 00:14:15,695
Nothing. We're not trying to impose our
values on the world that we left behind.
180
00:14:15,755 --> 00:14:18,476
They're free to continue to believe
as they want, whatever they want.
181
00:14:18,491 --> 00:14:20,562
But they're going to have
to do it without our help.
182
00:14:20,660 --> 00:14:22,537
Hear, hear.
183
00:14:25,598 --> 00:14:26,941
Dagny-
184
00:14:27,033 --> 00:14:28,706
Ellis Wyatt.
185
00:14:30,436 --> 00:14:32,780
I can't believe it.
186
00:14:33,606 --> 00:14:35,210
I felt abandoned.
187
00:14:35,274 --> 00:14:39,222
I finished the John Galt line to move
your oil, and you disappeared on me.
188
00:14:39,278 --> 00:14:42,623
You quit when I needed you most.
189
00:14:44,050 --> 00:14:45,552
All of you did.
190
00:14:45,618 --> 00:14:47,529
Now you know why.
191
00:14:47,587 --> 00:14:52,434
Well, perhaps, but you made a very
difficult task nearly impossible.
192
00:14:52,525 --> 00:14:57,804
Dagny, I couldn't keep supporting a
system that was determined to destroy me.
193
00:14:57,897 --> 00:15:01,401
Had I let 'em, they-
they'd have never stopped.
194
00:15:01,467 --> 00:15:03,105
Everyone here knows that.
195
00:15:04,203 --> 00:15:06,877
We know what it takes
to build something...
196
00:15:06,939 --> 00:15:10,409
and how little recognition
you get from the outside world.
197
00:15:10,476 --> 00:15:12,581
You deserve more.
198
00:15:12,645 --> 00:15:16,422
You deserve to hear what each of
us heard when we arrived here-
199
00:15:16,482 --> 00:15:20,157
Well done, Dagny.
Well done.
200
00:15:23,222 --> 00:15:26,795
While the government was busy
passing the Meta! Unification Act...
201
00:15:26,893 --> 00:15:29,965
to try and solve the steel shortage
through greater regulation,
202
00:15:30,062 --> 00:15:33,771
Ragnar Danneskold sunk several
more ships carrying copper,
203
00:15:33,833 --> 00:15:36,177
resulting in more frequent
electrical outages.
204
00:15:41,007 --> 00:15:43,248
Dagny, I wan! you
to stay for one month...
205
00:15:43,309 --> 00:15:48,782
just to see it all for yourself, and at
the end, you can choose to stay or go.
206
00:15:48,848 --> 00:15:52,455
But while you're here,
you gotta follow our rules.
207
00:15:52,518 --> 00:15:57,490
Our first rule is that no one provides
unearned sustenance for another person.
208
00:15:57,590 --> 00:15:59,263
I'll pay my own way.
209
00:15:59,325 --> 00:16:00,963
I doubt it.
You're penniless.
210
00:16:01,093 --> 00:16:04,700
What? Well, your money
has no value here.
211
00:16:04,797 --> 00:16:07,141
What do you mean?
212
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,807
Well, here in the Gulch,
we deal in gold.
213
00:16:10,870 --> 00:16:12,781
I see.
214
00:16:13,506 --> 00:16:16,009
Then I'll earn my keep.
215
00:16:16,142 --> 00:16:19,214
How?
Hire me.
216
00:16:19,312 --> 00:16:23,124
I'll cook, clean, do laundry in
exchange for room and board...
217
00:16:23,182 --> 00:16:26,629
and a little money for something
to wear other than this.
218
00:16:26,686 --> 00:16:30,224
You-You really want
to do that?
219
00:16:32,859 --> 00:16:34,736
Yes.
220
00:16:37,530 --> 00:16:39,032
Then you're hired.
221
00:16:39,131 --> 00:16:40,303
Here.
222
00:16:42,201 --> 00:16:43,805
An advance.
223
00:16:43,870 --> 00:16:45,474
Where did you get these?
224
00:16:45,538 --> 00:16:47,711
The Mulligan bank.
225
00:17:31,384 --> 00:17:32,920
Whose house is that?
226
00:17:38,624 --> 00:17:40,433
Francisco.
227
00:17:41,127 --> 00:17:42,697
He was the first.
228
00:17:44,430 --> 00:17:48,810
So he destroyed his reputation and the
family's copper mines for the strike?
229
00:17:48,901 --> 00:17:51,575
That's not all he gave up.
230
00:17:51,637 --> 00:17:55,050
You know that he and I
were very close at one time.
231
00:17:55,107 --> 00:17:57,485
I do.
232
00:17:57,577 --> 00:17:59,113
What did he tell you?
233
00:17:59,211 --> 00:18:02,818
Nothing in particular,
but with his tone?
234
00:18:04,483 --> 00:18:06,326
Everything-
235
00:18:09,288 --> 00:18:11,165
They'll be happy to see you.
236
00:18:45,291 --> 00:18:47,771
Ragnar Danneskold?
237
00:18:47,827 --> 00:18:50,603
Dagny Taggart.
Have you joined us?
238
00:18:50,663 --> 00:18:53,109
No, I haven't.
I'm, uh-
239
00:18:53,165 --> 00:18:55,441
A scab?
240
00:18:55,501 --> 00:18:58,880
I crashed the gate.
Literally.
241
00:18:58,971 --> 00:19:00,473
So you are a scab.
242
00:19:00,539 --> 00:19:02,849
And you're a pirate.
243
00:19:02,942 --> 00:19:04,444
Right?
244
00:19:04,510 --> 00:19:09,118
I, uh, have been accused
of making the seas unsafe.
245
00:19:09,181 --> 00:19:11,127
But only for those ships
carrying goods...
246
00:19:11,183 --> 00:19:13,720
taken by government force
from the rightful owners.
247
00:19:13,819 --> 00:19:15,492
I'm just returning
what's been stolen.
248
00:19:15,554 --> 00:19:20,230
Now, if that makes me
a pirate-well, so be it.
249
00:19:22,361 --> 00:19:24,238
See you around.
250
00:19:24,330 --> 00:19:26,401
I'm sure.
251
00:19:37,076 --> 00:19:40,387
- Hi, Miss Taggart.
- Oh. Hello.
252
00:19:40,479 --> 00:19:42,152
So they're not in school?
253
00:19:42,248 --> 00:19:44,023
Oh, no. I'm homeschooling them.
Oh.
254
00:19:44,083 --> 00:19:47,043
I joined the strike because I wouldn't
put them in an educational system...
255
00:19:47,086 --> 00:19:48,759
that doesn't
teach them to think.
256
00:19:48,854 --> 00:19:51,198
I guess they have some great role
models around here, don't they?
257
00:19:51,257 --> 00:19:53,396
Oh, yeah. They do.
And they're very happy.
258
00:19:53,492 --> 00:19:54,766
Oh.
259
00:19:54,894 --> 00:19:57,340
Have a great day.
Thank you.
260
00:19:58,864 --> 00:20:00,002
Thanks.
261
00:20:02,768 --> 00:20:05,271
As the 100th
anniversary of Taggart Bridge,
262
00:20:05,371 --> 00:20:07,214
America's most important
railroad overpass,
263
00:20:07,273 --> 00:20:09,514
came and went
with little fanfare,
264
00:20:09,575 --> 00:20:12,613
Jim Taggart continued
to intentionally mislead the public,
265
00:20:12,712 --> 00:20:14,248
announcing that
the copper wire shortage...
266
00:20:14,346 --> 00:20:18,795
would not necessarily affect
transporting Minnesota's wheat.
267
00:20:18,884 --> 00:20:21,057
He also announced
that Dagny had died,
268
00:20:21,120 --> 00:20:24,397
and that her absence would not
affect railroad operations.
269
00:20:26,358 --> 00:20:30,135
Gentlemen, science belongs
to the people,
270
00:20:30,229 --> 00:20:33,369
not a single individual
just because he invented it.
271
00:20:47,046 --> 00:20:49,083
Every man on the face
of the globe...
272
00:20:49,148 --> 00:20:54,257
has the right to share in the advantages
created by technological progress.
273
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:59,167
It is vitally important that we
maintain a positive public opinion.
274
00:20:59,258 --> 00:21:03,001
We cant allow criticism
of the project at this time.
275
00:21:03,095 --> 00:21:06,599
Gentlemen, we should all be very
proud to usher in this new era.
276
00:21:06,732 --> 00:21:10,942
These new instruments of peace will
protect us from any and all aggressors.
277
00:21:11,003 --> 00:21:14,951
Project F will allow us to keep order
in the streets and protect the public.
278
00:21:15,007 --> 00:21:16,509
Mr. Thompson-
279
00:21:16,609 --> 00:21:20,614
Uh, Jimmy. Sorry to hear about
the loss of your sister Dagny.
280
00:21:20,679 --> 00:21:22,181
She'll be sorely missed.
281
00:21:22,281 --> 00:21:25,319
Thank you. Uh,
I just want you to know...
282
00:21:25,451 --> 00:21:27,956
that we really need the
Railroad Unification
283
00:21:27,982 --> 00:21:30,152
Act to save our
transportation system.
284
00:21:30,189 --> 00:21:33,363
All for one, one for all.
I mean, that's the key here.
285
00:21:33,459 --> 00:21:35,439
Getting things going.
286
00:21:35,494 --> 00:21:39,704
In fact, we've appointed Cuffy
Meigs to direct the initiative.
287
00:21:39,799 --> 00:21:41,301
For the public good.
288
00:21:41,367 --> 00:21:44,041
Absolutely. Mmm.
289
00:21:45,805 --> 00:21:49,048
We need to make sure the
speech is on all the networks.
290
00:21:55,447 --> 00:21:57,324
In a lot of ways,
this valley represents...
291
00:21:57,383 --> 00:21:59,795
what your great grandfather,
Nat, saw in our country-
292
00:21:59,852 --> 00:22:04,460
unbridled opportunity,
where innovation is rewarded.
293
00:22:04,523 --> 00:22:07,299
You see, he built the Taggart
Bridge over the Mississippi...
294
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,829
and connected
an entire nation by rail.
295
00:22:10,896 --> 00:22:14,810
When the courts tried to stop
him, he fought and he prevailed.
296
00:22:14,867 --> 00:22:16,505
That bridge
is still standing today.
297
00:22:16,569 --> 00:22:18,708
True. True,
but as the country prospered,
298
00:22:18,804 --> 00:22:22,752
the people gave the government
more and more power.
299
00:22:22,842 --> 00:22:26,881
Those in charge saw successful businessmen
as a threat to their control,
300
00:22:26,979 --> 00:22:30,893
so they simply took what was created
in the name of the public good.
301
00:22:30,983 --> 00:22:33,327
So you convinced the others
to strike.
302
00:22:33,385 --> 00:22:34,989
Each one was invited here.
303
00:22:35,054 --> 00:22:39,662
You-You're the first person
to come to this valley by accident.
304
00:22:40,893 --> 00:22:43,203
If you choose to stay,
305
00:22:43,262 --> 00:22:46,402
you'll have to join us in what
we are trying to accomplish.
306
00:22:46,498 --> 00:22:48,273
You have
an important decision to make.
307
00:22:51,203 --> 00:22:53,444
But I love the railroad
my great grandfather built.
308
00:22:57,409 --> 00:22:59,685
Good night.
309
00:23:03,616 --> 00:23:05,721
Was it as difficult
for all the others?
310
00:23:05,784 --> 00:23:07,286
The first night was.
311
00:23:07,386 --> 00:23:08,956
Is this the room
where they arrive?
312
00:23:09,054 --> 00:23:11,898
I never intended you
to occupy this room.
313
00:23:13,225 --> 00:23:15,034
Good night.
314
00:23:42,087 --> 00:23:44,590
Francisco
D'Anconia's copper mines,
315
00:23:44,657 --> 00:23:46,830
the worlds
largest remaining mines,
316
00:23:46,926 --> 00:23:49,338
were closed due to a series
of explosions.
317
00:23:51,597 --> 00:23:55,409
No workers were injured, but
no new copper was available.
318
00:24:13,686 --> 00:24:15,427
Francisco.
319
00:24:15,487 --> 00:24:17,467
You're two days late.
What happened?
320
00:24:17,589 --> 00:24:19,967
Sorry I'm late, John. Come in.
I'll get you a drink.
321
00:24:20,025 --> 00:24:23,802
But listen, I came to tell you
that I won't be long.
322
00:24:23,862 --> 00:24:25,842
Francisco.
I'm concerned-
323
00:24:27,099 --> 00:24:29,477
Dagny. It's like I can't
believe you're alive!
324
00:24:29,535 --> 00:24:31,037
Oh.
325
00:24:32,137 --> 00:24:33,673
And you're here.
326
00:24:34,707 --> 00:24:37,187
Now you know everything.
327
00:24:37,276 --> 00:24:39,278
Now you understand why.
328
00:24:39,345 --> 00:24:41,291
Frisco, you should know-
I'm here by accident.
329
00:24:41,317 --> 00:24:42,476
I'm not part of the strike.
330
00:24:44,516 --> 00:24:46,018
How did you get here?
331
00:24:46,118 --> 00:24:48,462
It's a long story.
332
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:50,625
The main thing
is that you are safe.
333
00:24:50,689 --> 00:24:51,997
He's right.
334
00:24:52,057 --> 00:24:53,900
I'll come by later.
All right then.
335
00:24:56,495 --> 00:24:58,304
And I want to spend
some time with you.
336
00:24:58,364 --> 00:24:59,866
Me too.
337
00:25:01,567 --> 00:25:03,171
I'll stop by.
Bye, John.
338
00:25:03,235 --> 00:25:04,737
Welcome back.
339
00:25:04,837 --> 00:25:08,478
I'm going to stop by the power
plant to check the output levels.
340
00:25:09,308 --> 00:25:11,015
Power plant?
341
00:25:11,143 --> 00:25:13,145
Yes.
342
00:25:16,315 --> 00:25:17,817
Come on.
343
00:25:58,290 --> 00:26:01,362
The motor generates enough
power for the entire valley.
344
00:26:01,427 --> 00:26:04,806
In fact, it could power
the entire West Coast.
345
00:26:05,564 --> 00:26:07,601
How?
346
00:26:07,699 --> 00:26:10,646
It converts atmospheric
electricity into energy...
347
00:26:10,736 --> 00:26:12,738
at virtually no cost.
348
00:26:27,820 --> 00:26:29,959
Is this it?
Yes.
349
00:26:30,055 --> 00:26:33,730
I cant believe this powers
the entire valley.
350
00:26:33,792 --> 00:26:37,399
No amount of force will grant
you access to that motor.
351
00:26:37,463 --> 00:26:39,238
Allow me.
352
00:26:40,332 --> 00:26:42,938
I swear by my life
and my love of it...
353
00:26:43,001 --> 00:26:45,572
that I will never live
for the sake of another man...
354
00:26:45,637 --> 00:26:48,015
nor ask another man
to live for mine.
355
00:26:57,950 --> 00:27:00,021
Not yet.
356
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,629
Everyone has taken that oath
who lives in this valley.
357
00:27:05,691 --> 00:27:07,466
Everyone except you.
358
00:27:07,526 --> 00:27:09,301
Well, that's what I do.
359
00:27:09,361 --> 00:27:11,034
I live for myself,
not for others,
360
00:27:11,130 --> 00:27:14,475
just, unlike you, I don't believe
in abandoning the fight.
361
00:27:14,533 --> 00:27:19,676
Well, we're going to have to see
which one of us is wrong.
362
00:27:19,771 --> 00:27:23,116
Until then, I know you won't say
those words until you mean them...
363
00:27:23,175 --> 00:27:25,155
the way they're intended.
364
00:29:13,085 --> 00:29:16,623
I still don't understand why
you don't use mules, Francisco.
365
00:29:16,722 --> 00:29:19,328
Mules, John? These animals
are not so friendly.
366
00:29:19,424 --> 00:29:21,097
They're just as stubborn
as women.
367
00:29:21,159 --> 00:29:23,639
Frisco, you are wasting an
unconscionable amount of time...
368
00:29:23,729 --> 00:29:25,402
bringing your copper ore
up this way.
369
00:29:25,464 --> 00:29:27,944
You ought to build a rail
line down to the smelter.
370
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,071
I know, but it's
such a difficult job.
371
00:29:30,135 --> 00:29:33,014
Besides, the mine's output
doesn't justify the expense.
372
00:29:33,105 --> 00:29:34,846
That's nonsense. You see
that pass to the east?
373
00:29:34,940 --> 00:29:37,477
Uh-huh. It's an easier
grade with softer stone.
374
00:29:37,576 --> 00:29:39,317
It wouldn't take
a lot of curves.
375
00:29:39,411 --> 00:29:42,858
Maybe three miles of rail,
narrow gauge.
376
00:29:42,948 --> 00:29:44,518
- You have a pen and paper?
- Here.
377
00:29:44,616 --> 00:29:46,493
It'll pay for itself
in three years.
378
00:29:46,585 --> 00:29:50,294
Here. Look. I might have to blast a
tunnel here, a few hundred feet or less,
379
00:29:50,355 --> 00:29:54,633
and I'd need a steel trestle to
bring the track across this gorge.
380
00:29:54,693 --> 00:29:56,434
We'd bring it down here.
381
00:29:56,495 --> 00:30:00,705
It's not that difficult, and it would cut
off that last mile of corkscrew turns.
382
00:30:00,799 --> 00:30:03,678
I could have the track laid
in three months.
383
00:30:06,004 --> 00:30:08,484
Oh, what for?
384
00:30:08,540 --> 00:30:10,850
Abandon an entire
transcontinental system...
385
00:30:10,942 --> 00:30:12,944
to build
three miles of railroad.
386
00:30:13,011 --> 00:30:15,287
If you change your mind,
I'll hire you on the spot.
387
00:30:16,548 --> 00:30:19,324
Or Midas can give you a loan
if you want to own it.
388
00:30:19,384 --> 00:30:21,955
No, I can't.
Not yet.
389
00:30:22,054 --> 00:30:23,920
I wish I could just stay
here and never know
390
00:30:23,946 --> 00:30:25,686
what my brother is
doing to the railroad.
391
00:30:25,724 --> 00:30:28,204
Well, you would hear about it-
every wreck, every explosion,
392
00:30:28,293 --> 00:30:29,795
every broken line.
393
00:30:29,861 --> 00:30:32,967
And eventually, the collapse
of the Taggart Bridge.
394
00:30:33,031 --> 00:30:34,510
That's not going to happen.
395
00:30:34,566 --> 00:30:37,137
Dagny, nobody stays here
by faking reality.
396
00:30:39,237 --> 00:30:41,239
Well, I'll get back
to my job then.
397
00:30:41,340 --> 00:30:44,412
Enjoy your last week, Dagny.
398
00:30:54,419 --> 00:30:56,660
Here's a question for you-
399
00:30:56,722 --> 00:31:01,535
If Taggart Transcontinental
were your own company,
400
00:31:01,593 --> 00:31:03,573
would you hire
your brother Jim?
401
00:31:03,662 --> 00:31:06,836
Good God, no. No, I wouldn't
hire him as a track worker.
402
00:31:06,898 --> 00:31:08,900
I mean, he's-he's
completely incompetent.
403
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:13,847
Mm-hmm. Then why do Jim and all of
his cronies have so much power?
404
00:31:16,174 --> 00:31:17,676
Why do they?
405
00:31:17,743 --> 00:31:20,121
Mm-hmm.
406
00:31:20,212 --> 00:31:24,683
Because they promote
the idea that it's okay...
407
00:31:24,750 --> 00:31:27,697
to take from one man,
give to another.
408
00:31:27,753 --> 00:31:31,394
Dagny, all of your life,
you've heard people saying...
409
00:31:31,456 --> 00:31:35,268
that we have to help
the less fortunate,
410
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,863
that the measure
of virtue is-
411
00:31:37,929 --> 00:31:41,433
is not what you achieve,
but what you do for others.
412
00:31:41,533 --> 00:31:44,104
Hmm?
You-You've heard them say...
413
00:31:44,202 --> 00:31:48,776
that people have a right to a
living just because they're human.
414
00:31:48,874 --> 00:31:52,083
And that's not the right to earn a
living, that is a right to a living,
415
00:31:52,144 --> 00:31:55,216
which you are required
to provide for them.
416
00:31:56,481 --> 00:32:00,258
Now, do you see
any common themes here?
417
00:32:00,318 --> 00:32:04,061
Need of others paramount,
your needs secondary?
418
00:32:04,122 --> 00:32:08,628
Their philosophy is based on how
much you sacrifice to other people,
419
00:32:08,727 --> 00:32:11,230
not on what you achieve.
420
00:32:12,497 --> 00:32:15,171
That philosophy can't work.
421
00:32:15,267 --> 00:32:19,977
Unless you continue to work
and work and work and work...
422
00:32:20,071 --> 00:32:23,951
and try to overcome all the obstacles
which they have created for you.
423
00:32:24,009 --> 00:32:26,512
And no matter how much
they take from you,
424
00:32:26,611 --> 00:32:29,956
they still count on your
work ethic, your integrity,
425
00:32:30,015 --> 00:32:33,690
your desire to keep producing.
426
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,193
But I-I love what I do.
427
00:32:37,289 --> 00:32:40,964
No, I know.
Yeah. So did John.
428
00:32:41,026 --> 00:32:44,303
Yeah. But he refused
to accept their ideas.
429
00:32:44,362 --> 00:32:49,277
He refused to put
his ability-his motor-
430
00:32:49,334 --> 00:32:51,473
at their disposal.
431
00:32:51,536 --> 00:32:53,538
As long as you continue
to accept it,
432
00:32:53,638 --> 00:32:58,053
they will continue to exploit
your extraordinary abilities.
433
00:33:01,713 --> 00:33:04,284
While Thompson and
his cronies were holed up...
434
00:33:04,349 --> 00:33:06,522
in the Wayne-Falkland Hotel
in New York,
435
00:33:06,618 --> 00:33:09,531
preparing fer his big speech
on November 23,
436
00:33:09,621 --> 00:33:13,694
Henry Rearden continued
his search for Dagny Taggart.
437
00:33:30,008 --> 00:33:34,320
John, that's Hank Rearden, one
man you have yet to bring here-
438
00:33:34,379 --> 00:33:36,518
one you wanted for some time.
439
00:33:38,683 --> 00:33:41,357
Maybe Francisco
can convince him.
440
00:33:41,419 --> 00:33:43,194
Maybe.
441
00:33:54,766 --> 00:33:57,246
So, how was
the lecture tonight?
442
00:33:57,335 --> 00:33:58,905
Well-Hmm.
443
00:34:02,507 --> 00:34:04,111
John, what is it?
444
00:34:06,111 --> 00:34:08,387
You've got something
on your mind.
445
00:34:08,446 --> 00:34:10,551
I know you too well, my friend.
446
00:34:13,285 --> 00:34:15,287
Of all of us here,
447
00:34:16,688 --> 00:34:19,897
I know that you're the one
who's given up the most.
448
00:34:26,865 --> 00:34:29,436
I'll be all right, John.
449
00:34:30,702 --> 00:34:32,943
It's time to get Hank.
450
00:34:43,815 --> 00:34:45,817
We're out of chocolate cake.
451
00:34:47,819 --> 00:34:49,423
Oh, you scared me.
452
00:34:49,487 --> 00:34:51,626
What are you doing?
453
00:34:51,723 --> 00:34:54,795
Well, I told you.
I've been watching you.
454
00:34:54,893 --> 00:34:56,395
I couldn't sleep.
455
00:34:56,461 --> 00:34:59,601
My minds racing. You?
456
00:34:59,664 --> 00:35:01,769
Well, I have a stranger
in my house.
457
00:35:10,675 --> 00:35:12,484
When's the first time
you saw me?
458
00:35:12,577 --> 00:35:14,682
I remember that well.
459
00:35:16,414 --> 00:35:18,454
You were standing on
the Taggart passenger platform.
460
00:35:18,483 --> 00:35:20,429
You were wearing
an evening gown and a shawl,
461
00:35:20,485 --> 00:35:22,522
and if your shawl
had slipped any further down,
462
00:35:22,621 --> 00:35:25,659
you'd have been
standing there naked.
463
00:35:25,757 --> 00:35:27,293
And you belonged there.
464
00:35:27,359 --> 00:35:32,308
Not in some silk-curtained
sitting room, but there.
465
00:35:32,364 --> 00:35:34,810
Among the rails.
466
00:35:38,670 --> 00:35:40,946
Did you see that plane
circling the valley today?
467
00:35:41,006 --> 00:35:42,679
Yes.
468
00:35:42,774 --> 00:35:44,720
That was Hank Rearden.
469
00:35:46,177 --> 00:35:48,316
Hank's a good man.
470
00:35:59,491 --> 00:36:03,166
Anticipating greater
unrest, the State Science institute...
471
00:36:03,228 --> 00:36:07,301
began developing crude, but
lethal, crowd-control devices.
472
00:36:07,365 --> 00:36:08,901
As the Unification Board...
473
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:12,846
remained incapable of clearing the
rockslide blocking the Taggart Tunnel,
474
00:36:12,904 --> 00:36:16,010
cross-country transportation
was now crippled.
475
00:36:18,576 --> 00:36:20,647
So, Dagny-
476
00:36:23,181 --> 00:36:25,525
Have you made your decision?
477
00:36:25,583 --> 00:36:29,087
Hmm. I think so.
478
00:36:29,187 --> 00:36:31,394
But I'm not sure.
479
00:36:31,489 --> 00:36:34,060
And it's too important
not to be completely certain.
480
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:36,662
If any of your uncertainty...
481
00:36:36,728 --> 00:36:40,676
is a conflict between
your heart and your mind,
482
00:36:40,732 --> 00:36:42,405
follow your mind.
483
00:36:42,500 --> 00:36:44,776
That wasn't the advice
I was expecting.
484
00:36:46,337 --> 00:36:48,840
Let it go until it's time.
485
00:36:48,907 --> 00:36:50,887
We still have you
with us tonight.
486
00:36:52,243 --> 00:36:56,123
Francisco, you'll be back
in a few months.
487
00:36:56,214 --> 00:36:57,716
November at the latest.
488
00:36:57,782 --> 00:37:00,786
And, John, you're not returning
to New York this time, are you?
489
00:37:00,885 --> 00:37:02,762
I haven't decided yet.
490
00:37:02,854 --> 00:37:05,460
You're not thinking about
going back to that hell, are you?
491
00:37:05,557 --> 00:37:06,968
I am.
492
00:37:07,058 --> 00:37:08,731
But, John, why?
493
00:37:08,793 --> 00:37:12,400
Well, I'll tell you
once I've decided.
494
00:37:12,464 --> 00:37:13,966
But everyone's here
except Hank,
495
00:37:14,065 --> 00:37:15,567
and he'll be here soon enough.
496
00:37:15,633 --> 00:37:17,408
And Dagny, if she chooses.
497
00:37:17,469 --> 00:37:20,075
Your job is done. There's nothing
more for you to look for out there.
498
00:37:20,138 --> 00:37:21,981
I know.
499
00:37:22,073 --> 00:37:24,952
When the rails are nationalized,
everything will collapse.
500
00:37:25,043 --> 00:37:26,886
Why risk it?
501
00:37:26,945 --> 00:37:29,721
They are getting serious
about the disappearances.
502
00:37:29,781 --> 00:37:32,819
They suspect something. You, of
all people, shouldn't be there.
503
00:37:34,119 --> 00:37:35,928
The infrastructure's
falling apart.
504
00:37:35,987 --> 00:37:39,594
Just the physical risk of complex
machinery in the hands of blind fools-
505
00:37:39,657 --> 00:37:42,001
You'll be taking a chance
every time you step on a train.
506
00:37:42,093 --> 00:37:43,902
There's been one collision
after another.
507
00:37:43,962 --> 00:37:47,171
Not to mention the weapons the SSI have
been testing to maintain the peace,
508
00:37:47,265 --> 00:37:48,767
as they say.
509
00:37:48,833 --> 00:37:51,507
If I go back,
it won't be for the strike.
510
00:37:53,338 --> 00:37:56,512
It'll be to get the only thing
I want for myself.
511
00:37:59,477 --> 00:38:01,184
There's going to be riots.
512
00:38:02,180 --> 00:38:03,989
Electricity's being rationed.
513
00:38:04,082 --> 00:38:06,619
Food supply chains
are being severed.
514
00:38:06,684 --> 00:38:10,325
In no time at all, there'll be one train
a week, and then one train a month,
515
00:38:10,421 --> 00:38:11,923
and then the Taggart Bridge
will collapse.
516
00:38:11,990 --> 00:38:13,526
No.
517
00:38:20,165 --> 00:38:22,338
No. That won't happen.
518
00:38:23,768 --> 00:38:25,441
Then you've made your decision.
519
00:38:25,503 --> 00:38:27,210
I have.
520
00:38:27,305 --> 00:38:31,117
As long as I am alive, I will not
desert a battle that is mine to fight.
521
00:38:31,176 --> 00:38:33,816
You'll be back, Dagny.
522
00:38:33,878 --> 00:38:35,619
And we'll be here
waiting for you.
523
00:38:37,115 --> 00:38:39,356
We need to discuss the
conditions of your departure.
524
00:38:39,450 --> 00:38:41,038
First, you have to give
us your word that you
525
00:38:41,064 --> 00:38:42,547
won't disclose anything
about this valley.
526
00:38:42,620 --> 00:38:44,861
You can't reveal
our-our cause,
527
00:38:44,956 --> 00:38:47,903
our existence, your whereabouts
for the past month,
528
00:38:47,992 --> 00:38:49,733
to anyone for any reason.
529
00:38:50,395 --> 00:38:51,897
I give you my word.
530
00:38:51,996 --> 00:38:55,466
Second, you never attempt
to come back uninvited again.
531
00:39:15,587 --> 00:39:18,158
Have you decided?
532
00:39:18,223 --> 00:39:19,896
Are you going back?
533
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:30,741
Yes.
534
00:39:31,836 --> 00:39:33,941
But Frisco said ifs
too dangerous for you.
535
00:39:34,038 --> 00:39:35,847
I don't want you to go.
536
00:39:35,907 --> 00:39:37,580
It's not up to you.
537
00:39:37,675 --> 00:39:39,848
You're going for my sake.
538
00:39:39,911 --> 00:39:42,118
No, for mine.
539
00:39:43,114 --> 00:39:44,923
Will we see each other?
540
00:39:46,084 --> 00:39:47,563
No.
541
00:39:47,619 --> 00:39:50,225
Will you be watching me?
542
00:39:50,288 --> 00:39:51,790
More so.
543
00:39:51,890 --> 00:39:53,961
Why?
544
00:39:54,058 --> 00:39:56,800
To be there the day
you decide to join us.
545
00:39:56,895 --> 00:40:00,570
What if I told you
I will never join you?
546
00:40:00,698 --> 00:40:03,542
That would be a lie.
John, the risk.
547
00:40:03,601 --> 00:40:07,071
I wouldn't do it if I had
no selfish end to gain.
548
00:40:07,138 --> 00:40:09,140
What selfish end?
549
00:40:14,145 --> 00:40:16,091
I want you here.
550
00:40:55,453 --> 00:40:58,662
I need to make sure
you can't find your way back.
551
00:42:07,325 --> 00:42:09,669
You'll find
a Taggart station in town.
552
00:42:10,528 --> 00:42:12,030
Don't look for me.
553
00:42:12,096 --> 00:42:16,442
When you need me, I'll be the
easiest man in the world to find.
554
00:43:13,391 --> 00:43:14,927
Hank. Dagny?
555
00:43:14,992 --> 00:43:16,494
I'm so sorry.
556
00:43:16,594 --> 00:43:18,574
it's okay. You
don't need to apologize.
557
00:43:18,629 --> 00:43:20,389
There's something
I have to tel! you.
558
00:43:20,398 --> 00:43:22,275
Wm just happy
to hear your voice,
559
00:43:22,333 --> 00:43:24,574
to know you're all right.
560
00:43:24,635 --> 00:43:27,138
What we had together is a
memory' I will always cherish.
561
00:43:27,238 --> 00:43:29,741
I'm so sorry, Hank.
I'm happy, Dagny.
562
00:43:29,807 --> 00:43:32,447
I've got to run.
Frisco is waiting.
563
00:43:32,510 --> 00:43:34,820
We?! see each other soon.
564
00:43:34,912 --> 00:43:36,949
Who is John Gall?
565
00:43:40,585 --> 00:43:41,996
Jim Taggart
scheduled a press conference...
566
00:43:42,086 --> 00:43:45,829
announcing the sudden return
of his sister Dagny to New York.
567
00:43:45,923 --> 00:43:48,927
Meanwhile, several Rearden
steelworkers died defending a mill...
568
00:43:48,993 --> 00:43:52,941
against a violent takeover by
government-sponsored union thugs.
569
00:43:54,132 --> 00:43:56,635
At the same time,
the diverted Taggart trains...
570
00:43:56,701 --> 00:43:59,773
stopped transporting badly needed
Minnesota wheat to me East Coast.
571
00:44:10,615 --> 00:44:14,791
I'm not accustomed to being dragged away
from the SSI without rhyme or reason.
572
00:44:14,852 --> 00:44:17,162
Ah, Dr. Stadler. Precisely.
573
00:44:17,221 --> 00:44:20,065
Which makes me appreciate you
all the more.
574
00:44:21,025 --> 00:44:22,800
Why am I here?
575
00:44:22,860 --> 00:44:26,398
Walk with me. I have another
meeting in five minutes.
576
00:44:29,500 --> 00:44:33,744
Dr. Stadler, more than ever, the government
needs to present a strong, unified front...
577
00:44:33,838 --> 00:44:36,478
to bolster the confidence
of the people.
578
00:44:36,541 --> 00:44:39,021
The head of state has
a grand vision for the future.
579
00:44:39,076 --> 00:44:42,819
And he expects the full support
of the State Science Institute,
580
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:45,588
namely your full support
on our current project.
581
00:44:45,683 --> 00:44:48,425
My full support for what?
582
00:44:48,519 --> 00:44:50,328
You'll get the specifics later.
583
00:44:50,388 --> 00:44:52,868
Now listen carefully, Doctor.
584
00:44:52,924 --> 00:44:55,598
What I'm about to share with
you is highly confidential...
585
00:44:55,693 --> 00:44:58,230
and crucial
to the nation's welfare.
586
00:45:01,432 --> 00:45:03,605
“Project F”?
587
00:45:11,409 --> 00:45:15,880
Why, this looks like
an instrument of torture.
588
00:45:15,947 --> 00:45:18,052
Why wasn't I told about this?
589
00:45:18,115 --> 00:45:22,564
How dare you use my research
to create this-this-this weapon?
590
00:45:22,620 --> 00:45:26,295
I didn't spend eight years to see
my research turned into this.
591
00:45:26,424 --> 00:45:29,132
I mean, I have-
Your signature, Doctor.
592
00:45:29,227 --> 00:45:30,900
The public needs to know...
593
00:45:30,962 --> 00:45:34,774
the tax money spent on SSI
research serves the public.
594
00:45:34,865 --> 00:45:39,939
I founded the SSI to expand
the frontiers of knowledge.
595
00:45:40,037 --> 00:45:43,484
This is not the time
for impractical idealism.
596
00:45:43,574 --> 00:45:48,250
The motive for Project F
is not up for discussion.
597
00:45:48,312 --> 00:45:51,657
Consider yourself informed,
Doctor.
598
00:45:51,749 --> 00:45:54,787
What if I don't want
to give my support?
599
00:45:54,885 --> 00:45:58,230
What if I don't agree with
this-this abomination?
600
00:46:00,324 --> 00:46:02,099
Well, then.
601
00:46:43,100 --> 00:46:44,636
ma" operations.
602
00:46:44,702 --> 00:46:46,613
In other news,
Head of State Thompson said...
603
00:46:46,671 --> 00:46:49,777
there is no national problem
with aviation safety...
604
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:55,813
despite yesterdays Amalgamated Airlines
crash which killed 35 passengers.
605
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:57,450
Just do it, Eddie.
606
00:47:00,885 --> 00:47:04,389
You've been Dagny's right-hand man
for years, so take care of it.
607
00:47:10,461 --> 00:47:13,670
Dagny-
I'll be with you in a minute.
608
00:47:13,731 --> 00:47:17,474
Just cancel the Comet for the
schedule for tomorrow and Tuesday.
609
00:47:17,535 --> 00:47:21,039
Fire the engines to Arizona
for the grapefruit special...
610
00:47:21,138 --> 00:47:23,209
and send the orders out
immediately.
611
00:47:23,307 --> 00:47:25,048
You'll do nothing of the kind.
612
00:47:25,142 --> 00:47:28,214
Minnesota needs that line
to move the harvest.
613
00:47:32,917 --> 00:47:34,919
Send the orders.
614
00:47:37,755 --> 00:47:39,234
Excuse me.
615
00:47:49,166 --> 00:47:51,669
Thank God.
616
00:47:51,769 --> 00:47:54,511
Dagny, I thought that-You're
not sending any orders.
617
00:47:54,572 --> 00:47:56,916
But Washington sent him here
to oversee the Railroad Unification Act.
618
00:47:57,007 --> 00:47:59,681
Washington doesn't run
this railroad. I do.
619
00:47:59,744 --> 00:48:00,745
Dagny-
620
00:48:00,878 --> 00:48:02,380
I, uh-
Jim.
621
00:48:02,446 --> 00:48:04,289
Heard the good news
you're okay.
622
00:48:04,382 --> 00:48:05,952
I'm, uh-
623
00:48:06,050 --> 00:48:09,554
I'm glad you're back. Alive.
624
00:48:09,620 --> 00:48:12,294
There are some urgent-the
most urgent thing now is...
625
00:48:12,390 --> 00:48:15,132
for you to go to the press
and tell them you didn't quit.
626
00:48:15,259 --> 00:48:17,739
I'm not doing any press. No, you have to.
They've been all-
627
00:48:17,795 --> 00:48:21,572
I'm not going to reassure the public
about the state of our industry, Jim.
628
00:48:21,632 --> 00:48:23,908
What is this
Railroad Unification Act?
629
00:48:23,968 --> 00:48:30,044
Well, it's a new national setup that went
into effect about three weeks ago...
630
00:48:30,107 --> 00:48:32,748
which you will approve of and
appreciate and find extremely good...
631
00:48:32,777 --> 00:48:34,381
for Taggart Transcontinental.
632
00:48:34,445 --> 00:48:35,947
What is it?
633
00:48:36,046 --> 00:48:39,892
You are aware we are in
an emergency situation, right?
634
00:48:39,950 --> 00:48:43,727
The country's top priority is to
preserve the transportation industry.
635
00:48:43,788 --> 00:48:45,290
The national
survival requires-
636
00:48:45,389 --> 00:48:47,767
What is the plan?
What does it do?
637
00:48:47,825 --> 00:48:51,796
Every railroad in the country has
been unified into a single team.
638
00:48:52,997 --> 00:48:54,635
Pooling their resources.
639
00:48:58,502 --> 00:49:00,448
You've nationalized
the railroad.
640
00:49:00,504 --> 00:49:02,006
No skin off your back.
641
00:49:02,106 --> 00:49:03,847
Cuffy.
Cuffy, please.
642
00:49:03,941 --> 00:49:05,443
Dagny, under the act,
643
00:49:05,509 --> 00:49:08,786
all of the gross revenue
will be turned over...
644
00:49:08,846 --> 00:49:11,292
to the Railroad Pool Board
in Washington...
645
00:49:11,348 --> 00:49:15,125
where it will then be distributed on a
more modem principle of distribution-
646
00:49:15,186 --> 00:49:16,187
What principle?
647
00:49:16,287 --> 00:49:18,460
You know-
You know, we're fine.
648
00:49:18,522 --> 00:49:20,627
This is good for business.
649
00:49:20,691 --> 00:49:23,262
You know, we're doing-
we're doing great.
650
00:49:23,327 --> 00:49:25,705
We'll finish this later.
651
00:49:37,107 --> 00:49:40,611
Are you seein' what
I'm seein' up there, boss?
652
00:49:41,779 --> 00:49:43,884
The electrical wire's
been compromised.
653
00:49:44,014 --> 00:49:45,960
Switches are out.
It's not my fault!
654
00:49:46,016 --> 00:49:48,724
Look, you're on your own.
655
00:50:00,631 --> 00:50:03,009
Operations.
Is this Eddie Willers .7
656
00:50:03,067 --> 00:50:06,913
Hey, it's not my place to tell you,
but nobody else will.
657
00:50:07,004 --> 00:50:09,068
We're about to have a
disaster on our hands.
658
00:50:09,094 --> 00:50:09,873
Who is this?
659
00:50:09,907 --> 00:50:13,013
I'm a lineman in your California division.
Let's leave it at that.
660
00:50:13,077 --> 00:50:15,182
They tel! me ifs orders
from the Unification Board...
661
00:50:15,246 --> 00:50:16,691
and to mind
my own damn business.
662
00:50:16,814 --> 00:50:19,015
What's your name? Ah, it doesn't matter.
I'm outta here.
663
00:50:19,016 --> 00:50:20,552
Good luck.
664
00:50:20,651 --> 00:50:22,153
Wait!
665
00:50:27,491 --> 00:50:30,995
Thompson's PR people
were heavily promoting his big speech,
666
00:50:31,061 --> 00:50:34,770
predicting it would be the
most-watched broadcast in history.
667
00:50:40,538 --> 00:50:44,418
You tell that little con artist I've
already got the rail offsets fast-tracked.
668
00:50:44,508 --> 00:50:46,181
I just-
669
00:50:46,243 --> 00:50:48,587
It is a complete disaster, Jim.
670
00:50:48,679 --> 00:50:50,590
What are you talking about?
What disaster?
671
00:50:50,681 --> 00:50:52,854
Your Railroad Unification Plan.
672
00:50:52,917 --> 00:50:54,863
- We're going over a cliff.
- What?
673
00:50:54,919 --> 00:50:56,865
The board has hijacked
all our rolling stock.
674
00:50:56,921 --> 00:50:58,764
The harvests are rotting
in Minnesota.
675
00:50:58,856 --> 00:51:01,735
And we don't have the copper wire
we need to keep the lines running.
676
00:51:01,792 --> 00:51:03,362
That's not true.
677
00:51:03,427 --> 00:51:06,033
They prioritize the projects
vital to public welfare.
678
00:51:06,096 --> 00:51:07,700
Some will just have to
wait their turn.
679
00:51:07,765 --> 00:51:10,473
Well, you tell that to the family
that's about to run out of food.
680
00:51:10,568 --> 00:51:12,104
No, no. Don't-
Don't be so dramatic.
681
00:51:12,202 --> 00:51:14,409
Dramatic?
What are you thinking?
682
00:51:14,471 --> 00:51:16,974
We are the last railroad
that can move the harvests.
683
00:51:17,074 --> 00:51:20,283
If we don't get trains out there, the
East Coast will run out of food.
684
00:51:20,377 --> 00:51:23,256
So what do you wanna do about it?
You're the problem solver around here.
685
00:51:23,314 --> 00:51:24,987
Yeah, lam.
686
00:51:25,082 --> 00:51:27,790
And what if I woke up one day
and just said,
687
00:51:27,885 --> 00:51:29,990
“I'm not gonna find
a way today'?
688
00:51:30,087 --> 00:51:31,430
What if I just left?
689
00:51:31,488 --> 00:51:33,689
Hell, you've been gone for a
month doing who knows what.
690
00:51:33,757 --> 00:51:36,761
Who do you think has been taking
care of business around here?
691
00:51:36,827 --> 00:51:38,773
No one.
692
00:52:07,825 --> 00:52:10,305
Yeah. I need you to check this
one again, Eddie. Will you?
693
00:52:10,361 --> 00:52:12,705
I'm on it.
Thank you.
694
00:52:12,796 --> 00:52:14,639
What is it? Did they
release the rolling stock?
695
00:52:14,698 --> 00:52:17,440
There's a very important dinner
tomorrow night at the Wayne-Falkland.
696
00:52:17,501 --> 00:52:19,174
I promised the boys
that you'd be there.
697
00:52:19,269 --> 00:52:21,715
Seriously, Jim. A dinner? Do you
have any idea what's going on here?
698
00:52:21,839 --> 00:52:24,046
Thompson's inner circle
will be there. Why?
699
00:52:24,141 --> 00:52:26,121
We're gonna talk about
shipping the harvests.
700
00:52:26,176 --> 00:52:27,985
You want to be in on
that decision, don't you?
701
00:52:28,045 --> 00:52:30,491
They're gonna decide how to
save the harvest at a dinner?
702
00:52:30,547 --> 00:52:33,221
If you really want to help your
farmer friends, now's your chance.
703
00:52:33,317 --> 00:52:35,126
Friends?
They're our customers, Jim.
704
00:52:35,185 --> 00:52:37,631
Listen, ifs formal,
but don't overdo it.
705
00:52:37,688 --> 00:52:39,827
It would please them.
706
00:52:41,025 --> 00:52:42,971
Tell me you're joking.
707
00:52:51,902 --> 00:52:54,883
Nobody, not even Dagny Taggart,
708
00:52:54,972 --> 00:52:57,680
will deny that there are times
when it's necessary...
709
00:52:57,741 --> 00:53:01,553
to sacrifice the parts
for the sake of the whole.
710
00:53:01,645 --> 00:53:04,558
What parts are we talking
about, Mr. Meigs?
711
00:53:06,984 --> 00:53:09,658
Well, the sickly pans,
of course.
712
00:53:10,854 --> 00:53:13,027
Like Minnesota.
713
00:53:13,090 --> 00:53:15,570
They have to be sacrificed
in order to save the whole-
714
00:53:15,659 --> 00:53:18,868
the entire system.
715
00:53:18,929 --> 00:53:20,909
Sacrifice Minnesota?
716
00:53:20,998 --> 00:53:22,500
Well, yes.
717
00:53:22,566 --> 00:53:24,876
We have to keep cross-country
routing intact...
718
00:53:24,935 --> 00:53:27,211
in case we need to move
troops between states.
719
00:53:27,271 --> 00:53:30,275
You understand. Balance
peacekeeping with the recovery.
720
00:53:30,374 --> 00:53:32,547
To keep order.
721
00:53:34,244 --> 00:53:38,090
You cut off Minnesota,
you cut off the supply of wheat.
722
00:53:38,182 --> 00:53:42,062
You might be able to
sacrifice an arm or a leg,
723
00:53:42,119 --> 00:53:46,898
but you cannot save a body by
sacrificing its heart or its brain.
724
00:53:46,957 --> 00:53:48,868
Well, we're depending upon...
725
00:53:48,926 --> 00:53:53,375
the local farmers in the
Northeast to pick up the slack.
726
00:53:53,430 --> 00:53:56,240
We're counting on it.
727
00:53:56,300 --> 00:54:00,271
There aren't enough local farmers
to feed a population that size.
728
00:54:00,370 --> 00:54:02,407
You know, Miss Taggart,
729
00:54:02,473 --> 00:54:05,215
it's a great responsibility...
730
00:54:05,275 --> 00:54:08,484
to hold the decision
of life or death...
731
00:54:08,579 --> 00:54:10,718
over millions of people-
732
00:54:10,781 --> 00:54:13,990
sacrifice thousands,
if necessary.
733
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:18,300
But we must have
the courage to do so.
734
00:54:20,824 --> 00:54:24,499
We have to be practical,
scientific.
735
00:54:25,763 --> 00:54:27,606
Public welfare is one-
Pipe down, Jimmy.
736
00:54:27,664 --> 00:54:29,166
Of our biggest-
737
00:54:29,266 --> 00:54:32,338
Cuffy, there's trouble
in California.
738
00:54:32,436 --> 00:54:35,440
There's talk of seceding
from the union.
739
00:54:35,506 --> 00:54:37,315
Oregon's overrun by gangs.
740
00:54:37,441 --> 00:54:39,682
They've murdered two tax collectors.
741
00:54:40,677 --> 00:54:42,179
Excuse me.
742
00:54:47,284 --> 00:54:49,286
Cuffy's right.
743
00:54:49,353 --> 00:54:51,458
Let's move the rail stock
from Minnesota.
744
00:54:51,522 --> 00:54:54,002
Eddie. What?
745
00:54:55,659 --> 00:54:57,605
How long ago?
746
00:54:59,163 --> 00:55:01,643
I'll be there in 10 minutes.
747
00:55:01,698 --> 00:55:03,268
- Excuse me, gentlemen.
- Dagny?
748
00:55:03,333 --> 00:55:05,711
- Da-Dagny, where are you going?
- Sit down, Jimmy boy.
749
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:13,284
We're droppin' Minnesota.
750
00:55:53,851 --> 00:55:55,330
Jeff.
Miss Taggart.
751
00:55:55,419 --> 00:55:57,865
What's the matter'?
Switching signals are dead.
752
00:55:57,921 --> 00:56:00,265
I got four inbound trains,
two outgoing, all frozen.
753
00:56:00,357 --> 00:56:02,359
I can't get 'em out
of the damn tunnels.
754
00:56:02,426 --> 00:56:04,372
We can't seem to find
the breach in the system.
755
00:56:04,428 --> 00:56:07,788
I'm telling you, Miss Taggart, there's just
no guidelines for this kind of emergency.
756
00:56:07,865 --> 00:56:09,776
I'll take care of it.
757
00:56:11,401 --> 00:56:13,847
Eddie, where's
the systems engineer?
758
00:56:13,904 --> 00:56:15,508
Can't find him.
759
00:56:15,572 --> 00:56:17,210
Call Chicago Southern.
760
00:56:17,274 --> 00:56:20,278
Tell them to get their systems guy
out of bed and get him down here.
761
00:56:20,377 --> 00:56:23,551
- Tell them I'll pay whatever it costs.
- I'm on it.
762
00:56:23,614 --> 00:56:25,355
We'll make
our own guidelines, Jeff.
763
00:56:25,415 --> 00:56:28,760
Get all of our nonadministrative
people out here-all of 'em.
764
00:56:28,852 --> 00:56:31,355
Section hands, track walkers,
whoever's in the terminal-
765
00:56:31,421 --> 00:56:33,526
- I want them here now.
- Here?
766
00:56:33,590 --> 00:56:37,970
I'm responsible. Get every source light
and lantern you can lay your hands on.
767
00:56:38,061 --> 00:56:40,940
Then get some red and green
cellophane and tape.
768
00:56:41,064 --> 00:56:43,066
Lanterns?
Lanterns. Get going.
769
00:56:43,133 --> 00:56:45,272
- Yes, ma'am.
- What are we doing here, Miss Taggart?
770
00:56:45,402 --> 00:56:47,746
We're going to move the trains.
How?
771
00:56:47,804 --> 00:56:52,116
By hand. I want you to put a man
with a light at each switch.
772
00:56:52,242 --> 00:56:55,246
That could take all night! And all day
tomorrow, if that's what it takes.
773
00:56:55,312 --> 00:56:58,122
But these trains will move.
Excuse me.
774
00:57:00,384 --> 00:57:03,456
Bring it in! Hey, hey.
Come on in, guys.
775
00:57:03,553 --> 00:57:05,555
Hey, listen up. guys!
Hey.
776
00:57:10,994 --> 00:57:12,598
I'm Dagny Taggart.
777
00:57:12,663 --> 00:57:16,008
The instructions you are about
to receive come from me.
778
00:57:16,099 --> 00:57:20,172
The men who issue them are
acting under my instructions.
779
00:57:20,270 --> 00:57:23,274
The tower director will assign
the switchmen to their posts.
780
00:57:23,340 --> 00:57:26,947
I count on each of you...
781
00:57:27,010 --> 00:57:29,456
to get the trains rolling
and to-
782
00:57:34,451 --> 00:57:36,829
Uh, something wrong,
Miss Taggart?
783
00:57:38,021 --> 00:57:39,932
Go ahead.
Assign the posts.
784
00:57:39,990 --> 00:57:41,992
Let's do this.
Let's go!
785
00:59:34,771 --> 00:59:36,273
Hey, I can see the signal!
786
00:59:40,110 --> 00:59:43,751
It's workin'!
It's actually workin'!
787
00:59:43,814 --> 00:59:45,816
Son of a gun.
788
01:00:00,130 --> 01:00:02,269
Who's John Galt?
789
01:00:09,172 --> 01:00:11,333
When the Rearden
steel mills fell silent...
790
01:00:11,341 --> 01:00:12,820
after Hank's disappearance,
791
01:00:12,909 --> 01:00:16,186
the Unification Board called him
a greedy, selfish capitalist,
792
01:00:16,279 --> 01:00:19,988
while Thompson promised to announce greater
reforms to get things back on track.
793
01:00:20,083 --> 01:00:22,290
At the same time,
Cherry! Taggart, Jim's wife,
794
01:00:22,352 --> 01:00:24,457
learned she had
married a fraud.
795
01:00:24,521 --> 01:00:27,434
Jim Taggart was not the man
she thought he was.
796
01:00:51,381 --> 01:00:52,883
Floyd?
Hey, Jimmy'
797
01:00:52,983 --> 01:00:54,485
Yeah, I just read
the article about Cherryl.
798
01:00:54,618 --> 01:00:57,656
Yeah, that's-No, that's not' my Quit.
Right. Right.
799
01:00:57,721 --> 01:00:59,894
I had nothing to do with it.
Sure.
800
01:00:59,990 --> 01:01:02,027
It's tragic. I just-
801
01:01:02,125 --> 01:01:05,663
Say, your sister's
gonna help Thompson, right?
802
01:01:05,729 --> 01:01:07,731
Yeah. No, Pm gonna-
! mean, she is.
803
01:01:07,831 --> 01:01:10,368
I'm gonna get her to be on
stage with him. All right.
804
01:01:10,467 --> 01:01:11,969
Yeah.
805
01:01:16,039 --> 01:01:17,882
It? gonna
help the underprivileged.
806
01:01:17,974 --> 01:01:19,494
That's something
you should know about.
807
01:01:19,543 --> 01:01:21,523
You're always so damn
anxious to hide the fact...
808
01:01:21,578 --> 01:01:23,148
that you come from the slums.
809
01:01:23,246 --> 01:01:26,523
I'm a genius! I'm gonna have more money
than you could possibly imagine.
810
01:01:26,583 --> 01:01:30,156
More than those grubby mechanics,
Rearden and my sister.
811
01:01:30,220 --> 01:01:33,771
Whatever they do, I can
undo just like that.
812
01:01:33,797 --> 01:01:35,058
Just like that!
813
01:01:35,091 --> 01:01:36,536
Like snapping a spine.
814
01:01:36,660 --> 01:01:39,163
Now you want to break spines?
Oh, God, I never said that.
815
01:01:39,229 --> 01:01:41,175
You know I never said that.
That's not what I meant.
816
01:01:41,231 --> 01:01:42,676
What is-What's the
matter with you?
817
01:01:42,766 --> 01:01:45,770
What's the matter with me?
What's the matter with you?
818
01:01:51,441 --> 01:01:55,947
I came to apologize. There's no
reason why you should forgive me.
819
01:01:56,046 --> 01:01:58,720
I just learned the truth
about you and Jim.
820
01:01:58,782 --> 01:02:00,921
I know it's you
who runs the railroad...
821
01:02:01,017 --> 01:02:02,690
and you who built
the John Galt line.
822
01:02:02,752 --> 01:02:05,255
Can you forgive me?
823
01:02:05,355 --> 01:02:07,028
Of course I forgive you.
824
01:02:08,124 --> 01:02:10,297
Thank you, Dagny.
825
01:02:15,398 --> 01:02:18,140
You might want to dial it down
just a little bit.
826
01:02:27,911 --> 01:02:30,118
Mr. Thompson sits between
science and industry.
827
01:02:30,213 --> 01:02:32,056
Dr. Stadler, please.
828
01:02:33,416 --> 01:02:35,089
The chair
on Mr. Thompson's left.
829
01:02:35,151 --> 01:02:38,792
Miss Taggart, to the right.
830
01:02:38,888 --> 01:02:40,390
Showtime.
831
01:02:40,457 --> 01:02:42,164
Twenty seconds.
832
01:02:50,166 --> 01:02:52,669
Am I a guest or prisoner?
833
01:02:52,769 --> 01:02:55,079
That choice is yours.
834
01:02:55,138 --> 01:02:56,446
In 10-
835
01:02:56,506 --> 01:02:58,417
Didn't you name
the John Gait line after me?
836
01:02:58,475 --> 01:03:00,455
But I named 1? after my enemy.
837
01:03:00,510 --> 01:03:03,116
Well, that's the contradiction that
you're gonna have to figure out.
838
01:03:03,179 --> 01:03:04,954
Four,
839
01:03:05,015 --> 01:03:06,756
three-
I won't be a part of this.
840
01:03:06,816 --> 01:03:09,626
You won't?
841
01:03:09,686 --> 01:03:11,962
It's not just for the press, Miss Taggart.
It's for the audience also.
842
01:03:12,022 --> 01:03:14,502
- Dagny, for Christ's sake!
- Cherryl deserved better.
843
01:03:14,591 --> 01:03:17,538
Get her back here! Is anyone with
a brain left in this country?
844
01:03:17,627 --> 01:03:21,268
- Dagny!
- Ladies and gentlemen, Head of State Thompson.
845
01:03:21,331 --> 01:03:23,937
Good evening,
my fellow Americans.
846
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:26,002
Tonight, I can't.
847
01:03:31,207 --> 01:03:32,845
Ladies and gentlemen,
848
01:03:32,942 --> 01:03:35,354
Mr. Thompson will not
speak to you tonight.
849
01:03:35,445 --> 01:03:37,447
His time is up.
850
01:03:37,514 --> 01:03:40,518
For years, you've asked,
“Who is John Gait?"
851
01:03:40,617 --> 01:03:43,496
You've asked that question
in despair and resignation...
852
01:03:43,553 --> 01:03:47,160
as factories closed,
goods became scarce,
853
01:03:47,223 --> 01:03:49,362
jobs disappeared.
854
01:03:49,459 --> 01:03:51,735
Your lives are becoming
more difficult...
855
01:03:51,828 --> 01:03:55,503
as the life force of your world
is draining away.
856
01:03:55,565 --> 01:03:59,843
You have asked that question
without expecting an answer.
857
01:03:59,903 --> 01:04:01,541
I'm here to answer it.
858
01:04:01,638 --> 01:04:04,482
This is John Gall speaking.
859
01:04:06,743 --> 01:04:09,485
Mr. Thompson won't tell you the truth
about the crisis in your world.
860
01:04:09,546 --> 01:04:11,355
I will.
861
01:04:11,414 --> 01:04:14,520
Have you noticed that as everything
around you seems to decline,
862
01:04:14,584 --> 01:04:16,894
one thing still grows?
863
01:04:17,020 --> 01:04:19,523
It is the power of your rulers.
864
01:04:19,589 --> 01:04:21,591
None of their plans
and directives...
865
01:04:21,691 --> 01:04:25,366
have solved your problems
or made your life better.
866
01:04:25,428 --> 01:04:28,500
The only result has been their
increased control over you.”...
867
01:04:28,565 --> 01:04:31,375
at the cost of your freedom.
868
01:04:31,434 --> 01:04:33,004
Do you know why?
869
01:04:33,069 --> 01:04:35,879
You gave them the power.
870
01:04:35,939 --> 01:04:38,442
They called for your sacrifice,
871
01:04:38,541 --> 01:04:40,919
and you though!
It was noble.
872
01:04:41,010 --> 01:04:44,457
They said if you worked
for yourself and your family,
873
01:04:44,547 --> 01:04:47,619
that you were selfish
and uncaring.
874
01:04:47,717 --> 01:04:50,095
And they made you feel ashamed.
875
01:04:50,186 --> 01:04:53,599
They denounced the leaders of
industry as greedy exploiters-
876
01:04:53,690 --> 01:04:56,136
the Ellis Wyatts,
the Hank Reardens.
877
01:04:56,226 --> 01:04:59,366
And again, you agreed.
878
01:04:59,429 --> 01:05:00,908
And then you ask,
879
01:05:00,964 --> 01:05:04,878
'Why did they and others
like them disappear?”
880
01:05:04,934 --> 01:05:07,642
I took them from you.
881
01:05:07,737 --> 01:05:11,116
Their achievements flowed
from their creative minds.
882
01:05:11,207 --> 01:05:14,780
Once they understood that the
attempt to control their work...
883
01:05:14,878 --> 01:05:17,757
was an attempt
to control their minds,
884
01:05:17,814 --> 01:05:19,589
they left.
885
01:05:19,649 --> 01:05:22,630
The people on strike
worked for themselves,
886
01:05:22,719 --> 01:05:25,165
for their own vision
of what was possible.
887
01:05:25,255 --> 01:05:27,599
When they recognized
the honor they deserved,
888
01:05:27,657 --> 01:05:32,231
they rebelled against the guilt you
wanted them to feel for their success.
889
01:05:32,295 --> 01:05:34,468
You counted on them
to keep producing,
890
01:05:34,564 --> 01:05:36,305
to keep thinking-
891
01:05:36,399 --> 01:05:39,278
even as you denounced them
as selfish.
892
01:05:39,335 --> 01:05:44,284
I showed them they were being
punished for their own virtues,
893
01:05:44,340 --> 01:05:47,287
and I showed them
how evil that is.
894
01:05:47,343 --> 01:05:50,688
I made it my mission
to help these heroes say no.
895
01:05:50,780 --> 01:05:52,760
All evil needs to win...
896
01:05:52,816 --> 01:05:55,626
is the consent of good people.
897
01:05:55,685 --> 01:05:58,495
They have joined me
to freely produce,
898
01:05:58,588 --> 01:06:01,125
trade, cooperate
and compete in a place...
899
01:06:01,191 --> 01:06:03,967
where the rights of all
are protected.
900
01:06:04,027 --> 01:06:06,303
Do not try to find us.
901
01:06:06,362 --> 01:06:09,639
Do not try to bargain
for our return.
902
01:06:09,699 --> 01:06:11,372
Get out of our way.
903
01:06:12,469 --> 01:06:15,040
To everyone within
the range of my voice,
904
01:06:15,972 --> 01:06:18,384
you now have a choice to make.
905
01:06:18,475 --> 01:06:22,821
If you decide to support the notion
of sacrifice enforced by the State,
906
01:06:22,879 --> 01:06:24,381
your game is up.
907
01:06:25,381 --> 01:06:27,622
Your world
is in a downward spiral,
908
01:06:27,684 --> 01:06:30,187
and you will ride it down
to destruction.
909
01:06:31,287 --> 01:06:33,164
But if you share
the values of our strike,
910
01:06:33,223 --> 01:06:36,568
if you believe that your life
is a sacred possession...
911
01:06:37,694 --> 01:06:40,072
for you to make the mos! of,
912
01:06:40,163 --> 01:06:43,235
if you want to live by the
judgment of your awn mind,
913
01:06:43,333 --> 01:06:45,836
not edicts from the State,
914
01:06:45,902 --> 01:06:48,007
then follow our lead.
915
01:06:48,071 --> 01:06:50,381
Do not support
your own oppressors.
916
01:06:50,473 --> 01:06:53,818
Stop letting the system
exploit you.
917
01:06:53,877 --> 01:06:58,326
Form your own communities on the
frontiers of your crumbling world.
918
01:06:58,381 --> 01:07:00,918
Your rulers hold you
by your endurance...
919
01:07:01,017 --> 01:07:03,190
to carry the burdens
they impose,
920
01:07:03,253 --> 01:07:06,234
by your generosity
when you hear cries of despair,
921
01:07:06,322 --> 01:07:08,324
and above all,
by your innocence,
922
01:07:08,391 --> 01:07:12,271
which cannot grasp
the depths of their evil.
923
01:07:12,362 --> 01:07:15,104
The world you are living in
is the world they wanted.
924
01:07:15,198 --> 01:07:16,734
Leave them to it.
925
01:07:16,833 --> 01:07:19,677
Those who have left you are
eager to build a better world,
926
01:07:19,736 --> 01:07:21,875
a world of freedom
and opportunity,
927
01:07:21,938 --> 01:07:24,214
a world based
on mutual respect.
928
01:07:24,274 --> 01:07:26,413
In that world, you will
rise in the morning...
929
01:07:26,509 --> 01:07:28,853
with the spirit
you knew in childhood-
930
01:07:28,912 --> 01:07:31,188
the spirit of eagerness
and adventure...
931
01:07:31,247 --> 01:07:33,727
and the confidence that
the world is what it is...
932
01:07:33,783 --> 01:07:35,592
and is there
for you to discover.
933
01:07:35,685 --> 01:07:38,928
In that world, you will
not receive alms, nor pity,
934
01:07:39,022 --> 01:07:40,968
nor forgiveness of sins,
935
01:07:41,057 --> 01:07:44,231
but honor, respect and justice.
936
01:07:44,294 --> 01:07:48,242
Don't let the fire go out,
spark by irreplaceable spark,
937
01:07:48,298 --> 01:07:50,744
in confusion and despair.
938
01:07:50,800 --> 01:07:52,711
Be sure of your path.
939
01:07:52,769 --> 01:07:55,215
The world you desire
can be won.
940
01:07:55,271 --> 01:07:59,151
It exists. Ii is real.
It is possible.
941
01:07:59,242 --> 01:08:01,313
It is yours.
942
01:08:01,477 --> 01:08:03,787
Come on, let's go.
943
01:08:03,880 --> 01:08:07,885
Did that just happen?
Stop that damned buzzing noise!
944
01:08:07,951 --> 01:08:10,397
Go to regular programming.
945
01:08:10,453 --> 01:08:13,662
Somebody has the courage
to tell the truth.
946
01:08:13,756 --> 01:08:15,394
“Be sure of your path.”
is that all you have?
947
01:08:15,458 --> 01:08:18,496
If that speech doesn't do Thompson
in, I don't know what will.
948
01:08:18,595 --> 01:08:22,600
Ms not funny The American
people need government.
949
01:08:22,665 --> 01:08:24,182
And I think that one of
the rarest commodities
950
01:08:24,208 --> 01:08:25,466
in this country night
now is courage.
951
01:08:25,501 --> 01:08:27,071
I think we saw
a lot of it tonight.
952
01:08:27,136 --> 01:08:30,276
If we didn't cut it off, it'll look
like we authorized that speech.
953
01:08:30,340 --> 01:08:32,911
You damned fool! Would you rather
them think we didn't authorize it?
954
01:08:33,009 --> 01:08:36,252
Muzzle those commentators!
Look. Galt is one man.
955
01:08:36,312 --> 01:08:39,191
I don't know who the hell he thinks he is,
but he needs to be arrested, humiliated!
956
01:08:39,315 --> 01:08:41,192
Oh, the public's not gonna believe that!
No, no, no, no.
957
01:08:41,284 --> 01:08:43,423
Thai speech was way over their heads.
You know what?
958
01:08:43,486 --> 01:08:45,966
Gall was right about one thing. The
public can't think for themselves.
959
01:08:46,022 --> 01:08:48,002
They have to be controlled.
960
01:08:48,091 --> 01:08:49,695
What do you
propose we do, Floyd?
961
01:08:49,792 --> 01:08:52,636
He just gave you the answers.
962
01:08:52,695 --> 01:08:56,142
- What more do you need to know?
- Dagny, I'll make him a deal.
963
01:08:56,199 --> 01:08:58,611
Good night, gentlemen.
964
01:08:59,702 --> 01:09:01,477
Dagny, thank you
for speaking your mind.
965
01:09:01,537 --> 01:09:03,642
I just want you to know
that you can trust us.
966
01:09:03,706 --> 01:09:05,379
We're not your enemies.
967
01:09:05,475 --> 01:09:07,477
We've made mistakes.
We're only human!
968
01:09:07,543 --> 01:09:09,352
Find him, and then
we'll make him a deal.
969
01:09:09,445 --> 01:09:11,447
I don't think he's someone
who's open to a deal.
970
01:09:11,514 --> 01:09:13,152
You just be careful
with this, okay?
971
01:09:13,216 --> 01:09:14,695
Everyone's open
to cutting a deal.
972
01:09:14,784 --> 01:09:17,060
She's one of them.
973
01:09:17,153 --> 01:09:20,657
Just watch her. I think she
may be able to help us, huh?
974
01:09:20,723 --> 01:09:22,669
You got it.
975
01:09:22,725 --> 01:09:26,172
Mr. Thompson stated,
"There is no cause for alarm. "
976
01:09:26,229 --> 01:09:29,403
He urges the public not to draw
any uninformed conclusions,
977
01:09:29,499 --> 01:09:32,503
to preserve a sense of
broad-minded tolerance and mum/me.
978
01:09:32,568 --> 01:09:36,812
Says Thompson, 'We mus! regard it as
one viewpoint in our forum of opinion.
979
01:09:36,873 --> 01:09:41,015
The truth has many facets.
We must remain impartial.”
980
01:09:41,077 --> 01:09:44,684
No. No.
981
01:09:44,747 --> 01:09:46,351
We want Gall! Yeah!
982
01:09:46,416 --> 01:09:49,192
- We want Galt!
- We want Gall!
983
01:09:49,252 --> 01:09:52,756
We want Galt!
We want Gall!
984
01:09:52,855 --> 01:10:00,171
We want Galt!
We want Galt!
985
01:10:00,229 --> 01:10:02,175
We want Galt!
986
01:10:02,231 --> 01:10:05,701
We heard it on the streets.
We heard it online.
987
01:10:05,768 --> 01:10:08,078
We heard it everywhere.
988
01:10:08,171 --> 01:10:10,583
The people wanted Gait.
989
01:10:10,673 --> 01:10:12,118
Who? John Gait?
990
01:10:12,241 --> 01:10:15,381
I am John Gait.
I am John Gait.
991
01:10:15,445 --> 01:10:17,220
I am John Gait!
992
01:10:17,280 --> 01:10:20,284
Oh, my.
Are Thompson's days numbered.
993
01:10:20,383 --> 01:10:22,260
Who is John Gall?
994
01:10:22,351 --> 01:10:24,888
I have to tell you,
as I'm watching this myself,
995
01:10:24,954 --> 01:10:28,595
Fm thinking,
“Scream it! Shout it!"
996
01:10:28,691 --> 01:10:31,763
But that would be the way I would
do it in exactly the wrong way.
997
01:10:31,861 --> 01:10:34,740
Because nobody would hear it,
and he'd look like a mad man.
998
01:10:34,797 --> 01:10:37,038
Finally,
somebody says the truth...
999
01:10:37,100 --> 01:10:40,081
and says it the way
it was supposed to be said.
1000
01:10:40,136 --> 01:10:45,745
Power comes from the vision,
not the volume.
1001
01:10:45,808 --> 01:10:47,310
We want Gall!
1002
01:10:47,410 --> 01:10:49,253
I want it stopped.
1003
01:10:49,312 --> 01:10:51,724
We want Galt!
We want Galt!
1004
01:10:51,781 --> 01:10:54,318
Bring me Dagny Taggart.
1005
01:10:55,451 --> 01:10:57,988
We want Galt!
We want Galt!
1006
01:11:01,724 --> 01:11:03,829
He doesn't need
to commit to anything.
1007
01:11:03,926 --> 01:11:07,169
I just need him to know that
I'm ready to meet his terms,
1008
01:11:07,263 --> 01:11:08,765
whatever they are.
1009
01:11:08,831 --> 01:11:11,243
I really can't help you.
1010
01:11:11,300 --> 01:11:15,442
We have tried,
but we cannot find Mr. Galt.
1011
01:11:15,505 --> 01:11:17,007
Now, we've placed-
1012
01:11:17,106 --> 01:11:20,417
What Mr. Thompson means to
say is, we hope he's alive.
1013
01:11:20,476 --> 01:11:22,786
Miss Taggart,
I am a peaceful man.
1014
01:11:22,845 --> 01:11:24,847
I simply want to help him.
1015
01:11:24,947 --> 01:11:28,656
What if someone not as
amiable as Mr. Thompson...
1016
01:11:28,751 --> 01:11:31,288
was to locate him
before we did?
1017
01:11:31,354 --> 01:11:33,265
I'd just hate
to think-
1018
01:11:33,322 --> 01:11:36,360
Now, Floyd.
1019
01:11:36,459 --> 01:11:40,134
We're also offering
a substantial reward.
1020
01:11:43,332 --> 01:11:45,710
I wouldn't know
how to help you.
1021
01:11:47,537 --> 01:11:49,608
Mm-hmm.
1022
01:11:52,642 --> 01:11:54,849
Think she's lying?
1023
01:11:54,944 --> 01:11:56,946
She knows where he is.
1024
01:11:59,782 --> 01:12:01,784
We want Galt!
We want Galt!
1025
01:12:01,851 --> 01:12:03,831
John Gait represents today.“...
1026
01:12:03,886 --> 01:12:05,886
the sentiment of millions
and millions of people...
1027
01:12:05,888 --> 01:12:08,334
who are sick and tired
of the endless wars,
1028
01:12:08,391 --> 01:12:10,337
the attacks
on our civil liberties,
1029
01:12:10,393 --> 01:12:12,464
the abuse of whats happening
in the economy,
1030
01:12:12,528 --> 01:12:14,303
the poverty that is coming.
1031
01:12:14,363 --> 01:12:17,367
And those are the people who are
speaking out, and they needed a voice.
1032
01:12:17,466 --> 01:12:20,072
John Gall, in many ways,
is that voice.
1033
01:13:14,757 --> 01:13:16,259
Hey!
1034
01:13:49,625 --> 01:13:52,128
I was so afraid.
I had to warn you.
1035
01:13:52,228 --> 01:13:54,674
You don't need to explain,
but you were followed.
1036
01:13:54,764 --> 01:13:56,402
I don't think so.
I made sure-
1037
01:13:56,465 --> 01:13:58,145
You know, one thing they're
good at is snooping.
1038
01:13:58,171 --> 01:13:59,130
They'll be here any minute.
1039
01:13:59,235 --> 01:14:01,476
Then let's get out of here right now.
No. No.
1040
01:14:01,570 --> 01:14:05,074
From now on, you have to make them
think that you are on their side,
1041
01:14:05,174 --> 01:14:06,676
that I'm your enemy.
What?
1042
01:14:06,776 --> 01:14:09,154
If you do, I have
a chance to survive this.
1043
01:14:09,245 --> 01:14:13,125
They need me alive, but they wouldn't
think twice about hurting you or worse.
1044
01:14:13,182 --> 01:14:15,253
And I couldn't stand that.
1045
01:14:15,318 --> 01:14:18,856
If I hear of it, I will kill
myself and stop them right there.
1046
01:14:18,955 --> 01:14:22,198
Convince them that you hate me.
1047
01:14:22,325 --> 01:14:25,863
You must. Do you understand?
I do.
1048
01:14:33,202 --> 01:14:36,706
So you lived here,
all these years, like this?
1049
01:14:36,806 --> 01:14:39,377
Um, well,
1050
01:14:41,210 --> 01:14:43,053
more like this.
1051
01:14:44,547 --> 01:14:47,221
The motor!
1052
01:14:47,350 --> 01:14:50,297
We have to hide it.
It's all right.
1053
01:14:52,021 --> 01:14:53,694
Mr. Galt!
Open up, sir.
1054
01:14:53,789 --> 01:14:56,793
All right. Don't be afraid.
Okay?
1055
01:14:56,892 --> 01:14:59,031
Let's go.
1056
01:15:02,131 --> 01:15:03,735
Mr. Galt!
1057
01:15:07,203 --> 01:15:09,183
- That's him. That's John Galt.
- Get out!
1058
01:15:09,238 --> 01:15:11,809
Stay where you are, sir. Ma'am,
I need you to back up, please.
1059
01:15:12,708 --> 01:15:14,415
Right there.
1060
01:15:14,510 --> 01:15:16,319
We need to see some ID, please.
1061
01:15:17,246 --> 01:15:19,248
I'm Dagny Taggart.
He's the one.
1062
01:15:19,348 --> 01:15:21,268
Both of you. He's the one
we've been looking for.
1063
01:15:21,350 --> 01:15:23,523
Mr. Thompson is waiting
to speak with him in person.
1064
01:15:23,586 --> 01:15:27,056
Tell you what. I'll cooperate if
you get this woman away from me.
1065
01:15:27,189 --> 01:15:29,692
Is that room clear?
Miss Taggart, thank you.
1066
01:15:29,759 --> 01:15:31,898
You can step outside.
We'll handle things from here.
1067
01:15:31,994 --> 01:15:34,167
I'll be expecting my reward.
1068
01:15:34,230 --> 01:15:37,905
Miss Taggart, Mr. Thompson will be
very grateful for your efforts.
1069
01:15:42,605 --> 01:15:44,107
Mr. Galt.
1070
01:15:45,274 --> 01:15:47,618
It's an honor, sir.
1071
01:15:50,246 --> 01:15:52,089
What are you looking for?
1072
01:15:52,181 --> 01:15:54,378
Just to be certain that
you're out of danger, sir.
1073
01:15:54,404 --> 01:15:55,653
The men'll just be a moment.
1074
01:15:55,718 --> 01:15:57,561
- Am I under arrest?
- No, sir.
1075
01:15:57,620 --> 01:16:00,260
Our orders are to escort you
safely to Head of State Thompson,
1076
01:16:00,356 --> 01:16:02,302
where your presence is needed.
1077
01:16:05,361 --> 01:16:07,204
- It won't open.
- Mr. Galt, sir?
1078
01:16:07,296 --> 01:16:09,867
It's locked. Would you mind
unlocking that door, please?
1079
01:16:09,932 --> 01:16:10,896
There's no key.
1080
01:16:10,922 --> 01:16:13,268
Sir, I have orders to
search the entire apartment.
1081
01:16:13,302 --> 01:16:15,805
- It would be helpful if-
- Go right ahead.
1082
01:16:26,715 --> 01:16:30,253
No amount of force will grant
you access to that motor.
1083
01:16:30,319 --> 01:16:31,798
Allow me.
1084
01:16:31,887 --> 01:16:34,766
I swear by my life
and my love of it...
1085
01:16:34,824 --> 01:16:36,904
that I will never live
for the sake of another man...
1086
01:16:36,959 --> 01:16:39,405
nor ask another man
to live for mine."
1087
01:16:42,631 --> 01:16:45,009
We got nothing.
1088
01:16:46,936 --> 01:16:48,609
We need to go.
1089
01:16:55,911 --> 01:16:58,790
We want Galt!
We want Gall!
1090
01:16:58,848 --> 01:17:06,198
We want Galt!
We want Galt!
1091
01:17:09,258 --> 01:17:11,704
Hello? Well, well.
1092
01:17:11,827 --> 01:17:14,774
John? So you're the young
fella that started all this.
1093
01:17:14,830 --> 01:17:17,276
I'm tickled pink to meet ya.
Just tickled pink.
1094
01:17:17,366 --> 01:17:19,778
I'm Thompson.
How do you do?
1095
01:17:19,835 --> 01:17:23,282
Make yourself comfortable.
You're-You're an important man.
1096
01:17:26,208 --> 01:17:29,781
Yeah, that was
some speech you made.
1097
01:17:30,946 --> 01:17:33,620
Ah, you've done something
to this country.
1098
01:17:33,682 --> 01:17:35,491
I don't know what or why.
1099
01:17:35,551 --> 01:17:39,863
But... people seem to want
what it is you sell.
1100
01:17:41,190 --> 01:17:43,534
Now, I may not agree
with everything you say,
1101
01:17:43,626 --> 01:17:46,232
but I'm always willing
to change my mind.
1102
01:17:46,328 --> 01:17:50,242
Now, you don't-you don't expect us to
agree with everything you say, do ya?
1103
01:17:51,233 --> 01:17:53,645
No. Yeah.
You want something to drink?
1104
01:17:53,702 --> 01:17:56,581
Get him something to drink.
1105
01:17:56,672 --> 01:18:00,142
Well, the world's in a hell of
a mess, just like you said.
1106
01:18:00,209 --> 01:18:02,211
On that, I do agree with you.
1107
01:18:03,412 --> 01:18:05,085
Sit down there, Floyd.
Sit down.
1108
01:18:08,317 --> 01:18:09,921
Thank you.
1109
01:18:13,489 --> 01:18:14,991
So...
1110
01:18:16,525 --> 01:18:18,698
what do you have to say?
1111
01:18:18,761 --> 01:18:20,263
Nothing.
1112
01:18:21,330 --> 01:18:22,832
Nothing?
1113
01:18:24,366 --> 01:18:26,539
I didn't ask to speak with you.
1114
01:18:26,602 --> 01:18:29,742
Yeah, but we have
a lot to discuss.
1115
01:18:29,838 --> 01:18:32,614
Now-
1116
01:18:32,708 --> 01:18:34,415
I'm offering you a deal.
1117
01:18:34,510 --> 01:18:36,547
Ah. Well,
1118
01:18:39,515 --> 01:18:41,188
I'm always open to a deal.
1119
01:18:41,250 --> 01:18:44,390
Ha-ha! I knew it!
I knew it!
1120
01:18:44,453 --> 01:18:46,865
I told those theorizers
of mine.
1121
01:18:46,922 --> 01:18:51,564
I'm always open to a deal with
anyone who has a value to offer me.
1122
01:18:51,627 --> 01:18:54,369
Ah. Well, then, hell,
write your own ticket.
1123
01:18:54,430 --> 01:18:56,034
What are you offering?
Anything you want.
1124
01:18:56,131 --> 01:18:59,078
Such as?
Well, your terms, of course.
1125
01:18:59,134 --> 01:19:02,081
Lookit-
Listen, I am certain...
1126
01:19:02,137 --> 01:19:06,142
that you are a man
that can make things work, hmm?
1127
01:19:06,242 --> 01:19:11,055
I'm ready to give in. I'm-I am
willing to amend the system.
1128
01:19:11,113 --> 01:19:13,115
I told you what to do.
1129
01:19:14,316 --> 01:19:16,125
What?
1130
01:19:18,621 --> 01:19:21,465
Get out of the way.
1131
01:19:21,557 --> 01:19:23,400
Ah, wait a second.
1132
01:19:23,459 --> 01:19:25,837
Now, now, now, I said “amend?
1133
01:19:25,928 --> 01:19:28,067
I didn't say “abandon.”
1134
01:19:30,232 --> 01:19:31,939
That's just
out of the question.
1135
01:19:32,001 --> 01:19:34,345
You see,
1136
01:19:37,673 --> 01:19:41,018
I am offering you
Wesley Mouch's job.
1137
01:19:41,143 --> 01:19:42,622
Huh?
1138
01:19:42,678 --> 01:19:44,658
Now, there's nothing
bigger than that.
1139
01:19:44,747 --> 01:19:46,988
You're free to do
anything at all.
1140
01:19:47,082 --> 01:19:49,653
You don't like regulations?
Well, repeal 'em.
1141
01:19:49,752 --> 01:19:52,665
You-You want higher profits,
lower wages? Decree 'em.
1142
01:19:53,689 --> 01:19:55,635
You want special privileges?
Grant 'em.
1143
01:19:55,691 --> 01:19:58,297
You don't like the unions?
Dissolve 'em.
1144
01:19:58,360 --> 01:20:00,271
You play it any way you want,
1145
01:20:00,329 --> 01:20:02,331
but... just think about it.
1146
01:20:02,431 --> 01:20:06,971
In Washington, everyone's gonna
want to be your best friend.
1147
01:20:07,036 --> 01:20:08,538
Oh.
1148
01:20:10,372 --> 01:20:13,285
You're gonna have power.
1149
01:20:29,892 --> 01:20:33,237
Wait. Now, what? What? I'm offering
you the best job in the world.
1150
01:20:33,329 --> 01:20:35,002
What is-
What is wrong with that?
1151
01:20:35,064 --> 01:20:38,204
But that kind of job
shouldn't exist.
1152
01:20:40,469 --> 01:20:42,745
No one should have
that kind of power.
1153
01:20:53,749 --> 01:20:56,923
I can't figure you out.
1154
01:21:02,091 --> 01:21:03,593
Get him out of here.
1155
01:21:03,692 --> 01:21:06,536
And take that idiot
Taggart with you.
1156
01:21:06,595 --> 01:21:08,939
- SSI?
- Yes.
1157
01:21:13,569 --> 01:21:16,675
We want Gait!
We want Gall!
1158
01:21:46,301 --> 01:21:47,803
Get him out!
1159
01:21:57,780 --> 01:22:00,727
Once standing as a
monument to American individualism,
1160
01:22:00,783 --> 01:22:04,560
the Taggart Bridge had finally
surrendered to regulation.
1161
01:22:15,664 --> 01:22:18,440
Dagny! Oh!
1162
01:22:18,500 --> 01:22:21,606
Did you hear? The Taggart
Bridge collapsed.
1163
01:22:21,670 --> 01:22:24,913
Listen, Frisco, I'm ready.
1164
01:22:24,973 --> 01:22:27,112
I swear by my life
and my love of it...
1165
01:22:27,176 --> 01:22:29,850
that I will never live
for the sake of another man...
1166
01:22:29,945 --> 01:22:33,358
nor ask another man
to live for mine."
1167
01:22:33,449 --> 01:22:35,258
Let's go, slugger.
1168
01:22:36,351 --> 01:22:38,922
Ragnar has his helicopter
standing by.
1169
01:22:43,859 --> 01:22:45,839
Secure him there.
1170
01:22:50,632 --> 01:22:53,112
Project F?
1171
01:22:54,036 --> 01:22:56,312
What the hell
are we doing here?
1172
01:22:57,306 --> 01:22:59,115
This was never my intention.
1173
01:22:59,174 --> 01:23:01,211
John, this is not my fault!
1174
01:23:04,847 --> 01:23:06,607
You might want
to leave, Jimmy boy.
1175
01:23:06,608 --> 01:23:07,529
This is gonna get ugly.
1176
01:23:07,549 --> 01:23:10,136
No. I want to be here. I
wanna-I wanna see this.
1177
01:23:10,162 --> 01:23:11,351
I wanna see him break.
1178
01:23:11,386 --> 01:23:13,127
Okay. Your choice.
1179
01:23:23,065 --> 01:23:26,069
Cuffy? Stand by
to initialize power.
1180
01:23:35,978 --> 01:23:39,824
Get this straight.
You are going to help us.
1181
01:23:39,882 --> 01:23:42,362
Agree, and all this goes away.
1182
01:23:42,484 --> 01:23:45,431
You understand?
1183
01:23:50,192 --> 01:23:51,865
Suit yourself, genius.
1184
01:23:51,927 --> 01:23:55,238
Of all people, not him!
I want no part of this.
1185
01:23:55,330 --> 01:23:58,209
Then get out of here before I
make you trade places with him.
1186
01:23:58,267 --> 01:24:00,213
Go on, go!
1187
01:24:34,636 --> 01:24:36,206
Again.
1188
01:24:42,077 --> 01:24:44,819
I'm here on behalf
of Mr. Thompson.
1189
01:24:44,913 --> 01:24:47,233
You wouldn't disobey an order
from Mr. Thompson, would you?
1190
01:24:47,282 --> 01:24:49,819
No. You're-
You're Dagny Taggart.
1191
01:24:49,918 --> 01:24:52,296
Then on direct order
from Mr. Thompson,
1192
01:24:52,387 --> 01:24:54,060
you are to let me in
immediately.
1193
01:24:54,122 --> 01:24:57,069
No. Dr. Ferris said I wasn't
supposed to let just anyone in.
1194
01:24:57,125 --> 01:24:59,503
- Whoa! Whoa.
- You need to make a decision.
1195
01:24:59,595 --> 01:25:02,804
Listen to me very carefully.
This is about your life.
1196
01:25:02,898 --> 01:25:06,903
If you die, you won'! know
what you're dying for.
1197
01:25:06,969 --> 01:25:09,506
If I die, I will.
1198
01:25:09,605 --> 01:25:13,747
Either you let me in,
or I shoot.
1199
01:25:13,809 --> 01:25:16,119
- Now decide.
- I'm not supposed to decide.
1200
01:25:16,244 --> 01:25:17,917
I'm just an average guy.
One.
1201
01:25:17,980 --> 01:25:19,926
I'm not supposed to make
decisions about my life.
1202
01:25:19,982 --> 01:25:22,462
- Two.
- I haven't said I won't. I haven't said I will.
1203
01:25:22,517 --> 01:25:24,861
Three. - I'm only following orders!
1204
01:25:33,695 --> 01:25:36,005
Make sure it's okay in here.
1205
01:25:36,131 --> 01:25:38,270
All right.
Let's go. Let's go.
1206
01:25:40,168 --> 01:25:42,614
Had enough?
1207
01:25:42,671 --> 01:25:47,552
I understand you're some kind
of electrical engineer.
1208
01:25:47,643 --> 01:25:51,216
So tell me, Mr. Gall,
in your expert opinion,
1209
01:25:53,148 --> 01:25:54,821
how we doing?
1210
01:25:57,953 --> 01:25:59,626
Again.
1211
01:26:13,368 --> 01:26:14,540
Again.
1212
01:26:27,849 --> 01:26:30,420
I think
Project F likes you.
1213
01:26:30,519 --> 01:26:31,759
Again.
1214
01:26:32,487 --> 01:26:34,660
Okay-
1215
01:26:37,092 --> 01:26:39,072
Do it.
1216
01:26:39,161 --> 01:26:41,573
Do it!
1217
01:26:41,663 --> 01:26:44,234
- What's the matter?
- What's the problem?
1218
01:26:44,332 --> 01:26:46,175
- What?
- How the hell would I know?
1219
01:26:46,234 --> 01:26:49,238
- Well, find someone who does!
- Hey, watch your tone.
1220
01:26:49,337 --> 01:26:51,374
Come on.
1221
01:26:51,440 --> 01:26:54,785
Replace the fuse,
and the machine will work.
1222
01:26:54,876 --> 01:26:58,449
This is ridiculous!
I won't have it!
1223
01:26:59,614 --> 01:27:01,389
I won't have it!
1224
01:27:01,516 --> 01:27:03,792
Do it! Do it! Hey, hey.
Jimmy, calm down!
1225
01:27:03,885 --> 01:27:06,729
Jimmy-
Come on. Come on!
1226
01:27:08,457 --> 01:27:11,597
We'll be
back, you son of a bitch!
1227
01:27:31,713 --> 01:27:33,556
John! John!
1228
01:27:33,615 --> 01:27:36,255
John! John.
Damn it! Damn it!
1229
01:27:36,318 --> 01:27:38,320
I swear by my life!
1230
01:27:39,087 --> 01:27:41,226
John, come back to me!
1231
01:27:41,289 --> 01:27:42,825
Come back!
1232
01:27:44,159 --> 01:27:46,230
John!
1233
01:27:48,130 --> 01:27:49,734
Damn it!
1234
01:27:49,798 --> 01:27:52,677
Damn it.
You're-You're alive!
1235
01:27:54,770 --> 01:27:57,478
Thank goodness.
1236
01:27:57,572 --> 01:27:59,848
You're here! I'm back. I'm back.
1237
01:27:59,941 --> 01:28:01,648
I love you.
I'm okay.
1238
01:28:01,743 --> 01:28:04,314
- John.
- Hold him, hold him, hold him.
1239
01:28:04,412 --> 01:28:07,416
Okay. I got him.
I got him.
1240
01:28:07,482 --> 01:28:11,089
Give me your arm. Give me your arm, John.
Go ahead. I got it.
1241
01:28:12,788 --> 01:28:15,268
We got ya. We got ya, John.
We got ya.
1242
01:28:15,323 --> 01:28:16,927
We got ya.
1243
01:28:36,211 --> 01:28:38,714
We're almost there.
We're almost there.
1244
01:28:39,881 --> 01:28:42,885
Come on.
We're almost there.
1245
01:28:47,989 --> 01:28:49,969
Okay, careful. Careful.
Hang in there.
1246
01:28:57,632 --> 01:29:00,238
I got the door.
Grab my hand.
1247
01:29:01,403 --> 01:29:02,905
Get in! Get in!
1248
01:29:03,004 --> 01:29:05,575
Midas is waiting on the other side of the trees.
Don't worry about it.
1249
01:29:05,674 --> 01:29:08,154
We've got one more man to pick up.
We'll see you soon.
1250
01:29:08,243 --> 01:29:10,314
Eddie. Thank you.
1251
01:29:10,378 --> 01:29:12,324
Let's go.
1252
01:29:38,573 --> 01:29:41,213
Chopper 2.
We are airborne.
1253
01:29:41,276 --> 01:29:43,779
You're cleared
to head back to Atlantis.
1254
01:29:44,913 --> 01:29:46,859
Dr. Hendricks
is standing by.
1255
01:29:46,915 --> 01:29:48,724
Tel! John he's in good hands.
1256
01:29:48,850 --> 01:29:50,625
Just lie still. Lie still.
1257
01:29:50,719 --> 01:29:53,723
Who's Ragnar talking to?
Midas.
1258
01:29:53,788 --> 01:29:56,860
He's flying
the other helicopter.
1259
01:29:56,925 --> 01:29:59,735
We tried. We couldn't stop him
and the others from coming.
1260
01:29:59,794 --> 01:30:02,536
Don't worry, John.
We've got your back.
1261
01:30:02,597 --> 01:30:04,770
Good.
1262
01:30:04,866 --> 01:30:06,368
Yeah.
1263
01:30:07,469 --> 01:30:10,109
Escaped?
What do you mean?
1264
01:30:10,205 --> 01:30:13,049
What?
Wh-Where's Ferris?
1265
01:30:13,108 --> 01:30:15,384
What do you mean, tied up?
1266
01:30:17,045 --> 01:30:18,786
Hello? Hello?
1267
01:30:21,082 --> 01:30:23,323
What the hell is happening?
1268
01:30:27,555 --> 01:30:29,057
John.
1269
01:30:30,992 --> 01:30:33,996
I need you to know,
I never wanted to leave you.
1270
01:30:37,832 --> 01:30:39,834
You're my forever.
1271
01:30:55,317 --> 01:30:56,819
It's the end.
1272
01:31:00,855 --> 01:31:02,357
No.
1273
01:31:03,792 --> 01:31:05,931
It's the beginning.
1274
01:31:31,353 --> 01:31:33,731
in the name
of the best within you,
1275
01:31:33,822 --> 01:31:36,496
do not sacrifice your sense
of life to an enemy...
1276
01:31:36,558 --> 01:31:38,504
that would claim
your precious mind.
1277
01:31:38,560 --> 01:31:42,667
Do not let your fire go out,
spark by irreplaceable spark.
1278
01:31:42,731 --> 01:31:46,679
Do no! let the hero in your soul
perish in lonely frustration...
1279
01:31:46,735 --> 01:31:51,309
for the life you deserve, but
have never been able to reach.
1280
01:31:51,373 --> 01:31:54,479
The world you desire
can be won.
1281
01:31:54,542 --> 01:31:59,548
It exists. It is real.
it is possible.
1282
01:31:59,647 --> 01:32:01,593
It is yours.
1283
01:32:02,751 --> 01:32:05,027
This is John Gail speaking.
