Question on blackout


Why was it neccessary for the Major to turn off the lights? What did he hope to accomplish?

reply

To keep Stillwell in the building long enough for Calvin to convince him to hand over the equation.

reply

....or simply to capture Stillwell to force the info from him, in the event Calvin should fail. Turning off the lights was the Major's insurance policy.
