What can a smart hero do? Morse code, of course! Make a noise, flash a light, or grab something convenient and start maniacally flipping it on and off. Naturally, the message's recipient knows Morse code, too, but any villains in the vicinity will fail to penetrate this cleverness. Not only that, but sometimes the recipient will figure out the missing bits they lost while figuring it was actually Morse. Incidentally, Morse Code is officially obsolete for radio communications: In 1999, it was retired as the international standard, and in 2007, the FCC dropped requirements for Morse proficiency for amateur radio operators. It hasn't gone away completely, however. Morse is still in semi-official use by most navies with signal lamps (unlike radio signals, they don't give away a ship's position and can't be picked up by the enemy, unless they're in visual range), and by amateurs: Propogation beacons used to gauge atmospheric conditions and estimate their current effective transmission range identify themselves by a two-letter callsign in Morse, for example, and it's traditional (and in some places was once required) for a repeater to send its station callsign in Morse at regular intervals. A surprising number of particularly dedicated old-school hams are still using it to talk to each other, as well. By the way, if you're in trouble, you can always send the most commonly-known message in Morse Code: 3 dots, 3 dashes, 3 dots (SOS). note Technically, "SOS" is what's known as a "prosign" — essentially an abbreviation for a longer message — and therefore should be sent with no breaks between the letters. A similarly recognizable one is SMS (3 dots, 2 dashes, 3 dots), which is used as a ringtone on many Nokia mobile phones to indicate an incoming text. Fridge Logic may set in if the people using Morse code don't live in societies where they have radio communications or aren't from Earth.

He translates the flashes to Morse (shown in subtitles), but the message is just random letters. After he follows the light to its source, he discovers people having sex in a car, unintentionally flashing the headlights.

While the device owners don't initially understand the button's purpose, the Archivist mentions that they were able to catch onto the meaning since the type of people who would answer a want ad in Scientific American would be the same types that would pick up some level of morse code.

Somehow, the all-seeing evil supercomputer onto which the message was recorded (and from which the other protagonists retrieved the message) was not able to catch the Morse-coded message despite the fact that the character was not apparently doing anything else while walking in circles around the elevator shaft.

The ship's universal translator picks this up and interprets it as "rent your asthma," which the aliens correctly interpret as "vent your plasma" and the ship is saved. Justified immediately when a discussion in a cutaway panel reveals that Sam's unusual behavior lately has included, among other things, reading up on Morse code. Though how a universal translator module was able to pick up flashing lights and interpret them as a message instead of just flashing lights is anyone's guess.

Everyone Knows Morse / int_223c2a48	comment	In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, the themes of the Divine Beasts feature faint beeping sounds that spell out S.O.S. in Morse code (for example Divine Beast Vah Ruta). It's subtly fitting, as Link's working to free the captive spirits of the Champions, who have been desperate to see him again after a century, so they can pilot the Divine Beasts against Ganon. This is even played with a little in the case of Vah Medoh- unlike the other Divine Beasts, Vah Medoh's S.O.S. signal doesn't start until a full fifteen seconds into the track, and is far more frantic than the others- one interpretation is that Revali was able to hold his own against his Blight longer than the other champions, and only called for help when he realized he was doomed- hence the frantic pace of his SOS call..

Hoshi Sato has apparently been turned into a ghost as a result of a transporter accident, but she can still see the rest of the crew. On realising she can affect an indicator light, Hoshi tries flashing an SOS signal to Captain Archer, but he thinks it's just a malfunction. Arguably Justified though, since most of the episode is an hallucination caused by being in the transporter for longer than usual. It wouldn't matter if Archer really knows Morse code or not, as long as Hoshi does.

Everyone Knows Morse / int_24cfe1ef	comment	The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, episode "Barcelona, 1917", also known as "Espionage Escapades" on the DVD release, features young Indy teaming up with a spy ring in Barcelona trying to convince a count that his wife is having an affair with a German officer. Indy ends up cast as a non-dancing palace guard in a ballet that everyone is attending. The German officer's supposed real lover is a dancer in the ballet, and she finds out the plan and sends a warning note to the officer in the audience. Indy has to tell his co-conspirators to intercept the note, but is stuck on stage. He moves towards the front of the stage and is able to shake his hips in order to send a Morse coded message using the light reflecting off his costume's jeweled codpiece. The knowledge of Morse code is justified as the show takes place during WW1 and the spies are shown using a telegraph, but somehow Indy's friends get all the pertinent information despite not initially noticing him and none of the various other military officials in the audience notice his actions.

They use Morse code to communicate with the deputy, who is in the sewers below said house, by banging on a pipe. Possibly not played straight, as someone suggests a freakishly long message be sent, and Carter explains, "You know we'll die before I Morse all that," though obviously paraphrased. Stark then suggests "Crack... pipe," which works just fine. Justified because Carter is a Marshal and deputy Lupo is an Army Ranger, so both might legitimately have been trained in it. The whole point of 'Eureka' the town is that it is filled with supergenuises. They probably learn new modes of communication for fun.

Everyone is trying to get Changed Daily, who is stuck inside a pod (long story short: Changed Daily is inside the pod because he thinks he is floating in space and that aliens have destroyed the world) to open it up, so that they can take the ball of sponge that he has inside and hand it over to the Floaty Heads. Victor suggests using Morse Code, and everyone agrees because "Everyone Knows Morse Code!" So he taps Morse for "SOS"; Changed Daily just thinks he's floated into an asteroid belt.

In season 6, Clarke is subject to a Grand Theft Me by Josephine Lightbourne, part of the ruling class of the new planet they've landed on, who is immortal via taking over the bodies of other nightbloods, leading to a Death of Personality for the host. Clarke survives being wiped completely, and Bellamy finds out she's still in there when Clarke forces Josephine to signal "alive" in Morse code over and over again using finger taps. Clarke knows how to use Morse code and Bellamy understands it because it was part of their survival skills training when they landed on Earth. Miller, though, misses the code and admits to Bellamy it's because he slept through that class. However, even Josephine knows Morse code, though there isn't any evidence given for why she should. It does lead to a hilarious scene in which Clarke insults her from inside her own mind using Morse code.

On one hand, nobody in this universe really knows Morse since it was phased out in favor of "blink-code" (for the Systems Alliance anyway). That said, Cortana knowing Morse isn't really a surprise, and it is later revealed that the message was intentionally phrased so that only certain people would respond. Transmitting in Morse may have been part of that as it has never been established that Borderlands uses Morse in any significant capacity (though how anyone in that galaxy then knew how to use it is another question entirely...)

And laughed at Batman the same way. Of course, you'd expect Batman to know it.

It was explained that the other inmate knew Morse code because he'd been a sailor. And in Emperor Joker, the Joker steals Batman's mouth — but Batman's still able to communicate by tapping his teeth together in Morse code. Yet another Batman example: when being held for murder, Bruce is visited by Alfred and sends him a message by tapping on the table. Batman: Gordon of Gotham: During the robbery of a family diner in the 1970s, a waitress makes an SOS signal in Morse with the electric lights by repeatedly pulling at a plug behind her back while facing the opposite direction.

After his son is rendered braindead in an accident Edward Baldwin, who has been alone on the Moonbase for a long time awaiting a relief team, suffers a Heroic BSoD and refuses to communicate with Mission Control back on Earth. This means that he doesn't know that his help is needed to rescue the crew of Apollo 24. Mission Control have to remotely control the moonbase's lights to get them to flash SOS, though it's a Soviet cosmonaut on the base at the time who actually realises what is happening.

The protagonist, The Smart Guy, and the Satellite Love Interest are trapped on an iceberg, and they know that they have only a little time before they die of hypothermia. The protagonist pulls out a pickax and starts hammering away the SOS signal on the iceberg, thinking that a system that the United States has on the ocean floor will pick up the signal, come find their bodies, so that the conspiracy will be unveiled. What she didn't figure on was a nearby submarine picking up on the signal and coming to the rescue.

Everyone Knows Morse / int_81692f99	comment	Comes up more than a few times throughout the Star Trek shows: In the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "Space Seed", the automated signal Botany Bay (Khan's ship) sends is in Morse. Uhura recognises the "CQ" call signal by earnote "CQ" means "All Stations", or a general call to anyone who will answer. Originally used by 19th century telegraph operators, it is still used in amateur radio. Justified in that Lt. Uhura is the ship's communications officer, and Starfleet Academy might well expect familiarity with obsolete but formerly widespread comms protocols in case they run across some Lost Colony or Ghost Ship with a still-functioning beacon. Star Trek: Voyager: In one episode, an SOS in Morse code draws Voyager to a planet occupied by the descendants of abducted humans. In another episode Harry must warn Tom and B'Elanna that their converter is rigged to explode, but his comm system has been disabled so he uses a modulating pulse to send a message in Morse code. Tom explains that they know it because it's used in the Captain Proton holonovels. Star Trek: Enterprise, "Vanishing Point". Hoshi Sato has apparently been turned into a ghost as a result of a transporter accident, but she can still see the rest of the crew. On realising she can affect an indicator light, Hoshi tries flashing an SOS signal to Captain Archer, but he thinks it's just a malfunction. Arguably Justified though, since most of the episode is an hallucination caused by being in the transporter for longer than usual. It wouldn't matter if Archer really knows Morse code or not, as long as Hoshi does. Star Trek: Discovery, at the start of "Brother", Enterprise is revealed to be suffering ship-wide system failures, and their only means of communicating clearly with Discovery is via Morse Code. In this case, feeding the computer plaintext and letting it handle sending and reading Morse Code would be trivially easy even if the crew didn't know it.

Everyone Knows Morse / int_92871ad7	comment	Appears in Dalton Trumbo's novel Johnny Got His Gun, and therefore both its film adaptation and the music video of the Metallica song based on it, One, which incorporates footage from the movie. The main character is blind, deaf, mute, and a quadruple amputee after being hit by an artillery shell in World War I. The climax of the novel is when he learns to communicate with the outside world by tapping his head in Morse code. Slightly averted in that the nurse who sees it doesn't know what he's saying until she finds an officer to translate, and him knowing Morse code makes sense given he's in the army. Although the MV doesn't show all of this, Johnny can still be seen knocking out the code for 'SOS', 'help', and 'kill me' during it. If you get a Morse manual and translate the messages that Johnny and the officer are exchanging, you'll find that the writer and editor of that novel weren't actually fluent in Morse. For example, what the book claims is "What Do You Want?" actually reads "What Di Hiu Want?"

[We are shown a segment of Heathcliffe and Catherine saying each others' names while waving semaphore flags to communicate] "From the pulsating pages of history, from the dark and furious days of Imperial Rome we bring you a story that shattered the world! A tale so gripping that they said it could not be filmed. A unique event in cinema history: Julius Caesar on an Aldis Lamp!" [Caesar is walking through the Forum as a wild-eyed soothsayer flashes an Aldis lamp in his face: "BEWARE THE IDES OF MARCH" Caesar is then stabbed, and as he collapses, he pulls out a giant Aldis lamp and flashes "ET TU, BRUTE".] From the makers of Gunfight at OK Corral in Morse Code (two gunfighters whip out Morse buzzers, one buzzing "AAHHHHH!" as he falls), and the smoke signal version of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.

A similar situation happens in Stargate SG-1, when Sam reprograms a Tok'ra beacon to broadcast an SOS, knowing that their only hope of rescue, Daniel and Jacob/Selmak, are also the only two people who would be able to interpret the signal. And again in Stargate Universe. Eli realizes he could send a message to Destiny with a damaged gate's subspace transponder, but so far he's only figured out how to turn it off and on. Cue "Eureka!" Moment from Lt. Scott. Although, since he's a hardcore geek and an inveterate gamer, Eli should have thought of it himself. Further subverted when, aboard Destiny, the bridge crew doesn't recognize the signal for what it is, but Colonel Young does.

Everyone Knows Morse / int_e6267766	comment	In the Star Wars Legends, the Morse equivalent is Mon Calamari blink code. Han can make himself understood in it, albeit with hilariously poor spelling, and it occasionally comes in useful when no better comms are available. According to The Corellian Trilogy, the series where this first became a plot point, Leia is considerably better at it than Han.

Peter and Cleveland devise a scheme to get Lois and Donna to be friends again, and Quagmire, in the middle of having sex, joins the conversation.

Everyone Knows Morse / int_f15f622e	comment	MacGyver (1985): In an episode where Murdoc is hot on his trail in an off-season backwoods cabin location, Mac climbs a telephone pole and uses a copper bracelet to tap SOS directly into a phone line to summon help. The owner of the general store who hears the interference is retired military. One episode also gives us an interesting variant, Everyone Knows Signal Flags (a naval equivalent of Morse code, using patterned flags to send messages). Mac finds a junked boat with a signal flag kit, and sends up a MacGyvered helium balloon with the flags attached underneath, in order to draw attention. Thankfully, a policeman who happens to be a Navy veteran is nearby and sees the message. MacGyver himself doesn't know the code, otherwise he would have known that he could have only used one flag (V, meaning "I require assistance") or even two (N and C, "I am in distress"), instead of using four to spell out H, E, L, P.

When Uncle Quentin is working on Kirrin Island, his wife is worried for his safety, and they agree that he gives a signal of six flashes twice a day, to confirm he is all right. One day, he flashes eighteen times instead of six, causing everyone to wonder why. Julian says that if he was in trouble, he would flash the SOS signal, but George says he does not know Morse code.

Justified in that he admits he doesn't know Morse Code but the code he must input is there for him on a piece of paper. Ace however says that he tried to submit a SOS signal for help, although admits that it probably won't do them any good. Also justified in that SOS (... _ _ _ ...) is an extremely well known Morse Code message. There's also a bonus for players who know Morse Code themselves. The game never clarifies what the message Junpei inputs says in Morse, but a clever player will be able to tell that it says, 35=Z. A hint for the next puzzle.
