Other than when they mention it frequently and show several scenes of tank-filled rooms. Both had a dislike for "going near the sleepers"
A good sign that people are awake on the forums, I watch alot of movies and some of them I do not mostly actually watch (only partly) as i do other things on the side. This was one of those and I did indeed miss a couple of things; one of those being that we get to see more than 2 other sleepers, we get to see one more room filled of them (which Bauer and Cartwright certainly has knowledge of).
We see that they know of several sleepers around 15, on computerscreen at 17 and 40 minutes in.
When they venture out for spare parts to the next facility and then Bauer mentions "...we all die!" which is also a reference to them knowing there is more in stasis.
10 minutes in they also speak about how they dislike doing maintenance on the tanks spending time with the sleepers.
I made a misstake as I did not follow the plotline closely enough.
I am sorry for the confusion that caused you and others in this thread for this movie.Are you talking about when Cartwright's tank short circuits and catches fire? That was not a sleeper, it was his tank.
I was talking about the mishap Bauer
speaks of at their fight.
He was asking Cartwright to pick, and a random sleeper at that, out of what must have been about 300+ sleepers (5-sided silo by the looks of it, 10 floors, 4 or 5 tanks per room.)
We don't know just how many they do know of exists until the end. We see them lit, but we also see all these "other" facilites that are interconnected in the missile silo.
No, they conclude that the computer is lying to them by saying all other facilities are untouched when clearly at least one of the 'signed-in' facilities is torn apart with no survivors.
This does not contradict my statement, they conclude that the computer manages their shifts (keeping them going, by simulating other facilities) once (read;later) in the other facility that has been broken.
I've literally no idea what that means.
That was a reference to the ones that swap shifts with them on a longer basis (the ones supposed to do Bauer and Cartwrights work once they've done their part). They would not know from where those people came if their insight into how big their facility was, was limited.
About your last remark:
Ad hominem, yes inner enlightment is ironic if you do mix a plotline of a movie up (sarcasm)? If the quote was only referring to a movie in specific and i had failed to entertain a proper thought about it i might agree. But as is, that is a horrendous personal assault for some reason - care to explain why (?) because missing a few things in the movie is hardly a reason to call someone ignorant or retarded... Then again it might have been a hint to some previous post (or dealings we've had?)?
Only the gods themselves are without error...
Judging a person by one post on a movie forum does not show any significant intelligence, if that is what you want to pursuade others you have - refrain from making irrational remarks based on a single sample and you'll come off better.
[On subject]
Regarding the protagonist, we get to know that Bauer lied about being married - the engineers were not allowed to be married taking the job. Cartwright doesn't seem to know that so an asumption would be that Cartwright is not who he says/claims to be. And yes i do agree with some posters that say Cartwright is/has gone mad.
+1 T-Horror for actually noting some details and making a rational case for it that has high likelyhood.
