A scene from The Hunt for Red October 1990
Captain Marko Ramius

[speaking to Dr. Petrov and Cook's Assistant Loginov after Putin has been killed by Ramius]

I want you and the doctor to witness this. I'm removing the political officer's missile key, and I'm keeping it myself.

Dr. Petrov

Captain, I think we should report this to Red Fleet Command.

Ramius

I'm afraid that's impossible, doctor. Our orders are for strict radio silence.

Petrov

This is most unnerving, captain. The reason for having two missile keys is so that no one man may...

Ramius

May what?

Petrov

...may arm the missiles.

Ramius

Thank you. That will be all, doctor.
