Thirteen Days
|
| 00:03:07 |
What the...? Who's that? |
| 00:03:11 |
You're bad |
| 00:03:12 |
Who grabbed me? |
| 00:03:13 |
Who grabbed me? |
| 00:03:15 |
Who grabbed me? |
| 00:03:19 |
Honey, you're gonna be late |
| 00:03:20 |
What'd you grab me for? |
| 00:03:23 |
Mom, I can't find my shoes for school |
| 00:03:25 |
They're under the couch |
| 00:03:29 |
Dad, will you sign |
| 00:03:31 |
Give it to your mother |
| 00:03:32 |
Your mother's arms are full |
| 00:03:35 |
You got time for pancakes? |
| 00:03:36 |
Nope |
| 00:03:37 |
Give us another one, Dad |
| 00:03:40 |
Secretary of Defense? |
| 00:03:42 |
Dean Rusk |
| 00:03:43 |
Wrong |
| 00:03:44 |
And you get to wax my car |
| 00:03:46 |
Rusk is State, moron |
| 00:03:49 |
Attorney General? |
| 00:03:50 |
Too Easy! |
| 00:03:51 |
It's Bobby Kennedy |
| 00:03:55 |
All right, wise guys. Assistant |
| 00:03:59 |
That's too hard |
| 00:04:01 |
Wait a minute |
| 00:04:03 |
This isn't a permission slip |
| 00:04:06 |
This is your report card! |
| 00:04:09 |
Have you seen these grades? |
| 00:04:11 |
No |
| 00:04:14 |
All right. Gotta go |
| 00:04:15 |
Be good |
| 00:04:19 |
You... |
| 00:04:21 |
And I'm talking to you later |
| 00:06:59 |
Morning, Evelyn |
| 00:07:00 |
Hi, Ken |
| 00:07:03 |
Those candies are for the kids |
| 00:07:24 |
Morning, Floyd |
| 00:07:25 |
Morning, Mr. O'Donnell |
| 00:07:39 |
Morning, Jackie |
| 00:07:40 |
Hi, Kenny |
| 00:07:41 |
Want a schedule? |
| 00:07:42 |
No |
| 00:07:43 |
Why'd you cross |
| 00:07:46 |
You don't have anybody on it |
| 00:07:48 |
No votes there, there's not money |
| 00:07:50 |
It's party, Kenny |
| 00:07:51 |
And the one thing |
| 00:07:53 |
is that you don't know |
| 00:07:55 |
Well, party to you, politics to me |
| 00:07:59 |
So, who do you want? For real |
| 00:08:01 |
Everyone on my list |
| 00:08:03 |
I don't want to spend |
| 00:08:05 |
your votes and money are more |
| 00:08:08 |
And I want my kids to stop |
| 00:08:11 |
That's not me |
| 00:08:12 |
Then who is it? |
| 00:08:14 |
I don't rat on my friends |
| 00:08:16 |
I'm going to take this whole |
| 00:08:19 |
Are you trying to go around me? |
| 00:08:21 |
Go around you, over you, through you |
| 00:08:23 |
Whatever it takes |
| 00:08:25 |
You're starting to bug me |
| 00:08:27 |
Good |
| 00:08:28 |
I'll get back to you |
| 00:08:35 |
Top of the morning, Mr. President |
| 00:08:36 |
Morning, Kenny |
| 00:08:38 |
Just ran into your wife |
| 00:08:40 |
Wanna talk about this party? |
| 00:08:42 |
No |
| 00:08:44 |
You see Homer Capehart's tirade today? |
| 00:08:47 |
I did |
| 00:08:48 |
Don't see why |
| 00:08:49 |
He's got his election sewn up |
| 00:08:52 |
Even so |
| 00:08:54 |
It's good groundwork for us in '64 |
| 00:08:57 |
I'm looking for that... |
| 00:09:00 |
Vietnam thing |
| 00:09:02 |
The two planes that went down? |
| 00:09:03 |
Yeah |
| 00:09:05 |
It didn't make it before press time |
| 00:09:07 |
I haven't taken a look |
| 00:09:09 |
but I doubt |
| 00:09:13 |
I was eating that |
| 00:09:15 |
No, you weren't |
| 00:09:16 |
I was |
| 00:09:17 |
No, you weren't |
| 00:09:18 |
I was, you bastard |
| 00:09:25 |
so what have we got today? |
| 00:09:27 |
Today... |
| 00:09:38 |
That's it |
| 00:09:40 |
That's the one we're looking for |
| 00:09:43 |
I nee dot see the president, Kenny |
| 00:09:46 |
2:30 to 2:45 |
| 00:09:48 |
or 4:30 to 5:00. Take your pick |
| 00:09:49 |
I need to see him now, Ken |
| 00:09:54 |
Then go on up |
| 00:10:01 |
Coffee? |
| 00:10:02 |
Yeah |
| 00:10:05 |
That's not what you said |
| 00:10:08 |
That's not what... |
| 00:10:10 |
Listen to me |
| 00:10:12 |
You will put Daly's man on the circuit |
| 00:10:14 |
and you'll do it today |
| 00:10:16 |
You owe your gaddamn job |
| 00:10:19 |
Are you saying I'm not grateful? |
| 00:10:22 |
Yeah, I can hear how grateful you are |
| 00:10:25 |
There's a word you need to learn |
| 00:10:27 |
It's the only word in politics |
| 00:10:29 |
It's called loyalty |
| 00:10:30 |
Loyalty |
| 00:10:32 |
Now, is there any part of this |
| 00:10:36 |
Good |
| 00:10:39 |
What? |
| 00:10:40 |
This isn't the blessed order |
| 00:10:43 |
You better come in here |
| 00:10:47 |
What was it you were saying to me |
| 00:10:49 |
That it wasn't important |
| 00:10:50 |
Not as far as the election goes |
| 00:10:52 |
Mac! |
| 00:10:53 |
Can I see that for a second, please? |
| 00:10:56 |
Here, Kenny. You used to |
| 00:10:58 |
Just ignore the labels |
| 00:11:06 |
I don't know |
| 00:11:09 |
What is it? |
| 00:11:10 |
Our U-2's took these pictures of Soviet |
| 00:11:16 |
They appear to be the SS-4 |
| 00:11:18 |
three megaton nuclear warheads |
| 00:11:21 |
Seen here in this year's |
| 00:11:29 |
Jesus Christ in heaven |
| 00:11:33 |
White House operator |
| 00:11:35 |
Mr. O'Donnell, please |
| 00:11:41 |
White House operator |
| 00:11:46 |
What the crap is going on today? |
| 00:11:47 |
That's right |
| 00:11:48 |
The principals |
| 00:11:51 |
See you then |
| 00:11:52 |
Where's Bobby? |
| 00:11:54 |
He should be here any minute |
| 00:11:55 |
Oh, good |
| 00:12:01 |
Good |
| 00:12:04 |
Where the hell are you? |
| 00:12:05 |
We're in here |
| 00:12:10 |
Jesus Christ, guys |
| 00:12:12 |
What the hell is Kruschev thinking? |
| 00:12:13 |
Did you have any indication of this |
| 00:12:16 |
Any possible warning |
| 00:12:18 |
Complete snowjob |
| 00:12:19 |
Then we went out and told the country |
| 00:12:23 |
Jesus |
| 00:12:25 |
I feel like we caught the Jap |
| 00:12:50 |
Morning, gentlemen |
| 00:12:51 |
Morning, Mr. President |
| 00:12:52 |
Mr. Secretary |
| 00:12:53 |
Mr. President |
| 00:12:55 |
Bob. Bet you had a late night |
| 00:12:56 |
Sleep is for the week, Mr. President |
| 00:12:58 |
Mr. President |
| 00:12:59 |
CIA's been notified |
| 00:13:01 |
McCone's on his way back |
| 00:13:04 |
He's been burying his step-son |
| 00:13:06 |
General Carter's here, though |
| 00:13:11 |
Ted |
| 00:13:12 |
Kenny |
| 00:13:14 |
Okay |
| 00:13:18 |
Let's have it |
| 00:13:20 |
Arthur? |
| 00:13:21 |
Gentlemen, as most of you now know |
| 00:13:23 |
a U-2 over Cuba |
| 00:13:26 |
Sunday morning took |
| 00:13:29 |
Our analysis at NPIC indicates |
| 00:13:31 |
has followed up its conventional |
| 00:13:35 |
with the introduction of |
| 00:13:36 |
surface- to-surface medium range |
| 00:13:42 |
Our official estimate at this time |
| 00:13:46 |
is the SS-4 Sandal |
| 00:13:49 |
We do not believe that |
| 00:13:51 |
the missiles are as yet operational |
| 00:13:53 |
IRONBARK reports that the SS-4 |
| 00:13:56 |
can deliver a 3-megaton |
| 00:13:59 |
So far we've identified 32 missiles |
| 00:14:01 |
undoubtedly all Soviet personnel |
| 00:14:07 |
Our cities and military installations |
| 00:14:10 |
as far north as Washington, D. C. |
| 00:14:12 |
are in range of these weapons |
| 00:14:14 |
and in the event of a launch would |
| 00:14:18 |
Five minutes, gentlemen |
| 00:14:19 |
In those five minutes |
| 00:14:20 |
they could kill 80 million Americans |
| 00:14:23 |
and destroy a significant |
| 00:14:30 |
The Joint Chiefs' consensus |
| 00:14:33 |
is that this signals a major |
| 00:14:37 |
to a first-strike policy |
| 00:14:40 |
It is a massively destabilizing move |
| 00:14:43 |
How long until they're operational? |
| 00:14:45 |
General Taylor can answer |
| 00:14:48 |
GMAIC- Guided Missiles |
| 00:14:50 |
estimates ten to fourteen days |
| 00:14:54 |
A crash program could limit that time |
| 00:14:56 |
However, I must stress that |
| 00:15:00 |
that we don't know about |
| 00:15:02 |
We need more U-2 coverage |
| 00:15:04 |
Gentlemen, I want first reactions here |
| 00:15:06 |
Assuming for the moment that Krushev |
| 00:15:08 |
and intends to start World War Three |
| 00:15:11 |
What are we looking for? |
| 00:15:12 |
Mr. President, My team is in agreement |
| 00:15:16 |
If we permit |
| 00:15:18 |
to a Soviet satellite nation |
| 00:15:21 |
the diplomatic consequences |
| 00:15:26 |
The Russians are trying to show the |
| 00:15:29 |
wherever they want |
| 00:15:30 |
If they succeed |
| 00:15:31 |
It'll be Munich all over again |
| 00:15:33 |
Yes. Appeasement only makes |
| 00:15:37 |
And the Soviets will be |
| 00:15:40 |
No, we must remove the missiles |
| 00:15:43 |
It seems to me the options are either |
| 00:15:45 |
some combination of |
| 00:15:46 |
and action on our part |
| 00:15:50 |
or... |
| 00:15:52 |
we hit them |
| 00:15:53 |
An air strike |
| 00:15:55 |
Bob? |
| 00:15:56 |
We've worked up |
| 00:15:59 |
Before I ask General Taylor to |
| 00:16:02 |
I'd like for us to adopt a rule |
| 00:16:04 |
If we strike |
| 00:16:06 |
we must agree to do it before |
| 00:16:10 |
Because once they are |
| 00:16:13 |
I don't think we can guarantee |
| 00:16:16 |
getting them all before |
| 00:16:19 |
It's clear |
| 00:16:20 |
we cannot permit Soviet |
| 00:16:29 |
We have to get those missiles out |
| 00:16:32 |
I don't think it's going to matter |
| 00:16:37 |
Right now |
| 00:16:37 |
I don't see any way |
| 00:16:41 |
If we kill a lot of Russians |
| 00:16:42 |
they'll move against Berlin |
| 00:16:44 |
If they attack Berlin, that's NATO |
| 00:16:47 |
and we're at war |
| 00:16:49 |
We're damned if we do, but if we don't |
| 00:16:50 |
we're in a war for sure |
| 00:16:52 |
If there are alternatives |
| 00:16:53 |
and I'm not saying that there are |
| 00:16:55 |
then we need 'em, and fast |
| 00:16:57 |
What about Congress? |
| 00:16:59 |
We may need to |
| 00:17:01 |
And they're all scattered |
| 00:17:03 |
We can get Congress back |
| 00:17:04 |
We're gonna need to |
| 00:17:06 |
What about the allies? |
| 00:17:08 |
We can't start |
| 00:17:09 |
Right now we gotta figure out |
| 00:17:10 |
before we worry about |
| 00:17:12 |
Well, we've got a bunch of smart guys |
| 00:17:14 |
We lock 'em in a room |
| 00:17:17 |
until they come up |
| 00:17:21 |
I'll do it |
| 00:17:25 |
It's too politicized with you |
| 00:17:27 |
They need to be able to |
| 00:17:29 |
Yeah. It'll be the principals |
| 00:17:31 |
a couple of they key guys |
| 00:17:33 |
The Executive Committee |
| 00:17:37 |
We'll can it EXCOM |
| 00:17:40 |
Okay |
| 00:17:41 |
So I'm only gonna show |
| 00:17:44 |
Impress us |
| 00:17:46 |
Did it fast |
| 00:17:48 |
Kenny, you're in charge of |
| 00:17:51 |
If word gets out |
| 00:17:52 |
there's gonna be panic |
| 00:17:55 |
And it's gonna ruin any chance |
| 00:17:56 |
we might have of surprise |
| 00:17:58 |
We're gonna need to |
| 00:18:01 |
No Pierre |
| 00:18:03 |
He knows, the press knows |
| 00:18:05 |
And you're gonna have to |
| 00:18:07 |
Your movements |
| 00:18:09 |
George Ball's |
| 00:18:11 |
Good |
| 00:18:12 |
You meet over there this afternoon |
| 00:18:14 |
We'll figure out a way to |
| 00:18:16 |
I think we should |
| 00:18:20 |
Ken |
| 00:18:21 |
he was fighting Soviets while we were |
| 00:18:26 |
Find him, Kenny |
| 00:18:29 |
We're gonna need |
| 00:18:33 |
Screw secrecy |
| 00:18:39 |
Try having that fat-ass, sit on your |
| 00:18:44 |
You were excited. I say no more |
| 00:18:47 |
Everybody agrees |
| 00:18:50 |
It's too slow and they'll finish the |
| 00:18:53 |
I hear old Warren Harding |
| 00:18:57 |
We have 850 planes |
| 00:19:00 |
Eglin, Opa Locka, MacDill |
| 00:19:07 |
Due to the tropical foliage |
| 00:19:09 |
the OPLAN calls for high explosive |
| 00:19:11 |
and napalm loadouts |
| 00:19:13 |
I still think |
| 00:19:16 |
we haven't considered yet |
| 00:19:17 |
Peace at any price? |
| 00:19:19 |
We have a gun to our head |
| 00:19:22 |
We have high confidence in the expanded |
| 00:19:25 |
The problem, sir |
| 00:19:27 |
is that it's a short-term solution |
| 00:19:29 |
Kruschev can send in |
| 00:19:32 |
The Chiefs and I believe |
| 00:19:34 |
with the full version of OPLAN 316 |
| 00:19:38 |
An invasion? |
| 00:19:39 |
Yes, sir |
| 00:19:40 |
We can be sure we get all the missiles |
| 00:19:42 |
and we remove Castro |
| 00:19:44 |
so this can never happen again |
| 00:19:45 |
Is this |
| 00:19:47 |
Yes, sir |
| 00:19:48 |
Our best option |
| 00:19:51 |
would be to commence the strikes |
| 00:19:55 |
The invasion happens eight days later |
| 00:19:59 |
Dean |
| 00:20:02 |
What do you think? |
| 00:20:04 |
Gentlemen |
| 00:20:05 |
for the last fifteen years |
| 00:20:07 |
alongside your predecessors |
| 00:20:10 |
in a struggle against the Soviet |
| 00:20:12 |
I do not wish to seem melodramatic |
| 00:20:14 |
but I do wish to impress upon you |
| 00:20:16 |
a lesson I learned with bitter tears |
| 00:20:18 |
and great sacrifice |
| 00:20:20 |
The Soviet understands |
| 00:20:22 |
action |
| 00:20:23 |
Respects only one word |
| 00:20:25 |
Force |
| 00:20:26 |
I concur with General Taylor |
| 00:20:28 |
I recommend air strikes |
| 00:20:32 |
perhaps |
| 00:20:33 |
proceeded by an ultimatum |
| 00:20:35 |
If that is militarily viable |
| 00:20:37 |
So it appears we have three options |
| 00:20:40 |
Number one, a surgical air strike |
| 00:20:44 |
Two, a much larger air strike |
| 00:20:46 |
along with the missiles. And three |
| 00:20:51 |
invasion |
| 00:20:53 |
So we're certainly gonna do number one |
| 00:20:57 |
It seems to me we can't wait very long |
| 00:20:58 |
We should at leat |
| 00:21:00 |
We're preparing to |
| 00:21:01 |
Though I must stress again, sir |
| 00:21:05 |
without the follow-on invasion |
| 00:21:09 |
You want to be clear, Mr. President |
| 00:21:11 |
that we've definitely decided |
| 00:21:15 |
Dean |
| 00:21:18 |
How does this all play out? |
| 00:21:21 |
Your first step, sir |
| 00:21:24 |
withdraw the missiles |
| 00:21:27 |
The will refuse |
| 00:21:28 |
When they do |
| 00:21:30 |
followed by the invasion |
| 00:21:32 |
They will resist and be overrun |
| 00:21:34 |
They will retaliate against another |
| 00:21:38 |
most likely Berlin |
| 00:21:40 |
We will honor our treaty commitments |
| 00:21:42 |
and resist them there |
| 00:21:44 |
defeating them per our plans |
| 00:21:47 |
Those plans call for |
| 00:21:55 |
So... |
| 00:21:58 |
what is the next step? |
| 00:21:59 |
Hopeful cooler heads will prevail |
| 00:22:01 |
before we reach the next step |
| 00:22:07 |
Thank you, gentlemen |
| 00:22:23 |
What happened in there? |
| 00:22:25 |
I thought he was going to |
| 00:22:27 |
Look, I know them. They just need to... |
| 00:22:29 |
make sure there's no other way |
| 00:22:30 |
The Kennedys' father |
| 00:22:33 |
There's only one |
| 00:22:35 |
So let's hope appeasement |
| 00:22:38 |
I fear weakness does |
| 00:22:59 |
Jesus Christ |
| 00:23:05 |
Call me Irish, but I don't |
| 00:23:09 |
You know, they think I froze in there |
| 00:23:10 |
You didn't freeze |
| 00:23:11 |
You did exactly |
| 00:23:13 |
you stayed out of the corner |
| 00:23:14 |
You didn't decide |
| 00:23:15 |
Acheson's scenario is just... |
| 00:23:18 |
unacceptable |
| 00:23:19 |
And he's got more experience |
| 00:23:20 |
There's no expert on the subject |
| 00:23:21 |
There's no wise old man |
| 00:23:24 |
Shit, there's just us |
| 00:23:27 |
Acheson's right |
| 00:23:29 |
Talk alone is not gonna |
| 00:23:33 |
Well, let's bomb the shit out of them |
| 00:23:36 |
Everybody wants to |
| 00:23:37 |
Even you |
| 00:23:38 |
Even me |
| 00:23:40 |
Right? It sure would feel good |
| 00:23:43 |
Jack |
| 00:23:44 |
I'm as conniving as they come |
| 00:23:46 |
but a sneak attack is just wrong |
| 00:23:49 |
Things are happening too fast |
| 00:23:50 |
This is starting to smell like |
| 00:23:53 |
Tonight |
| 00:23:56 |
I kept seeing Lemnitzer and Dulles |
| 00:23:58 |
telling me all I had to do was |
| 00:23:59 |
And that the invasion would succeed |
| 00:24:01 |
and Castro... |
| 00:24:04 |
and Castro would be gone |
| 00:24:07 |
Easy, just like that |
| 00:24:15 |
There's something... |
| 00:24:18 |
immoral about |
| 00:24:24 |
We just can't let this get out of hand |
| 00:24:27 |
And we'll do whatever we have to do |
| 00:24:28 |
to make this come out right |
| 00:24:34 |
I'm gonna stay here tomorrow |
| 00:24:36 |
You can't |
| 00:24:37 |
We talked about this. Your schedule? |
| 00:24:39 |
Best thing you can do tomorrow |
| 00:24:43 |
He's right |
| 00:24:47 |
Yeah |
| 00:24:49 |
Jesus |
| 00:25:05 |
Doesn't anybody in Connecticut |
| 00:25:08 |
We love you, JFK |
| 00:25:19 |
The shole spectrum of air strikes |
| 00:25:21 |
the Joint Chiefs will accept |
| 00:25:22 |
No, no, no |
| 00:25:25 |
There is more than one option here |
| 00:25:27 |
And if one isn't occurring to us |
| 00:25:28 |
it's because |
| 00:25:30 |
Bobby, sometimes |
| 00:25:33 |
and you thank God when it's so clear |
| 00:25:35 |
You're talking about a sneak attack |
| 00:25:37 |
How would that make us look? |
| 00:25:39 |
A big country blasting a little one |
| 00:25:42 |
We'll be everyone's favorites |
| 00:25:44 |
Come on, Bobby. That's naive |
| 00:25:47 |
You know that better than anybody |
| 00:25:48 |
And you weren't |
| 00:25:51 |
when we were talking about |
| 00:26:05 |
Bob |
| 00:26:07 |
If we go ahead with these air strikes |
| 00:26:10 |
you know what it'll come to in the end |
| 00:26:13 |
There has got to be something else |
| 00:26:16 |
Give it to me |
| 00:26:17 |
I don't care how crazy, inadequate |
| 00:26:22 |
Give it to me |
| 00:26:25 |
Six months ago |
| 00:26:27 |
It's slow |
| 00:26:29 |
It's got a lot of drawbacks |
| 00:26:35 |
The scenario |
| 00:27:08 |
The situation is worse than we thought |
| 00:27:10 |
We now count 40 missiles |
| 00:27:13 |
40 missiles |
| 00:27:15 |
Longer range IRBM's |
| 00:27:16 |
They can hit every place |
| 00:27:22 |
Mr. President |
| 00:27:23 |
you give me the order right now |
| 00:27:25 |
my planes will be ready |
| 00:27:29 |
Just say "go" |
| 00:27:31 |
and my boys |
| 00:27:35 |
General, how long |
| 00:27:38 |
We've just begun the mobilization |
| 00:27:39 |
under cover of |
| 00:27:42 |
We're looking at |
| 00:27:44 |
But you can order the strikes now |
| 00:27:47 |
The plans call for |
| 00:27:50 |
It'll light a fire |
| 00:27:54 |
General Lemay, do you truly believe |
| 00:27:56 |
Mr. President |
| 00:27:57 |
I believe |
| 00:27:59 |
America is in danger |
| 00:28:01 |
Those missiles are a threat |
| 00:28:03 |
and the safety of |
| 00:28:05 |
Without our deterrent |
| 00:28:07 |
there's nothing to keep the enemy |
| 00:28:11 |
It's out duty |
| 00:28:13 |
Our responsibility to the American |
| 00:28:16 |
and return stability |
| 00:28:19 |
The Big Red Dog |
| 00:28:22 |
and we are justified in shooting him |
| 00:28:24 |
Sir |
| 00:28:25 |
we have a rapidly |
| 00:28:28 |
where we can to prevent those missiles |
| 00:28:32 |
The other options |
| 00:28:34 |
do not guarantee the end result |
| 00:28:38 |
However, as more time goes by |
| 00:28:40 |
the less reliable the choice |
| 00:28:43 |
Mr. President |
| 00:28:44 |
the motto I chose for SAC |
| 00:28:47 |
is "Peace is our Profession" |
| 00:28:49 |
God forbid we find ourselves |
| 00:28:52 |
But launched |
| 00:28:54 |
missiles from Cuba |
| 00:28:56 |
The very presence of those missiles |
| 00:28:58 |
gives the Soviets |
| 00:29:00 |
Those missiles |
| 00:29:04 |
And that is why |
| 00:29:07 |
abut destroying them |
| 00:29:10 |
Hell, even Mac agrees |
| 00:29:14 |
And sir |
| 00:29:16 |
given your own statements about Cuba |
| 00:29:18 |
I think a blockade |
| 00:29:23 |
would be considered |
| 00:29:26 |
as a pretty weak response |
| 00:29:28 |
And I suspect many of our own citizens |
| 00:29:34 |
You're in a pretty bad fix |
| 00:29:40 |
What did you say? |
| 00:29:43 |
You're in a pretty bad fix |
| 00:29:47 |
Maybe you hadn't noticed |
| 00:29:53 |
General |
| 00:29:54 |
what are the Soviets gonna do |
| 00:29:58 |
Nothing |
| 00:30:00 |
Nothing? |
| 00:30:01 |
Nothing |
| 00:30:03 |
Because the only alternative |
| 00:30:06 |
is one they can't choose |
| 00:30:10 |
You know, they're... |
| 00:30:11 |
they're not just missiles |
| 00:30:14 |
If we kill Soviet soldiers |
| 00:30:19 |
How would we respond |
| 00:30:21 |
They're gonna do something, General |
| 00:30:22 |
I can promise you that |
| 00:30:28 |
Those goddamn Kennedys |
| 00:30:30 |
if we don't do something about this |
| 00:30:34 |
We're headed out to the back yard |
| 00:30:38 |
Thanks, Bob |
| 00:30:40 |
I was hoping Lemay pushed you |
| 00:30:43 |
'Cause I was ready to knock |
| 00:30:45 |
We knew it was coming |
| 00:30:46 |
Those brass hats |
| 00:30:48 |
That is that |
| 00:30:49 |
none of us will be left alive |
| 00:30:52 |
Mr. President |
| 00:30:53 |
we need to go over |
| 00:30:56 |
Gromyko should be on his way by now |
| 00:30:57 |
There's still no sign they know that |
| 00:31:00 |
We're gonna keep it that way |
| 00:31:17 |
Kenny |
| 00:31:19 |
Be right there |
| 00:31:21 |
I'm getting funny questions |
| 00:31:23 |
Yeah? What sort of questions? |
| 00:31:25 |
About some sort of |
| 00:31:28 |
You want me to do my job |
| 00:31:29 |
I need to know what's going on |
| 00:31:31 |
Military exercises? |
| 00:31:32 |
Yeah. Military exercises |
| 00:31:34 |
Haven't heard anything about it |
| 00:31:36 |
Ask Bundy |
| 00:31:37 |
I did. He said to ask you |
| 00:31:41 |
Mr. Gromyko! This way, please! |
| 00:31:49 |
Robert |
| 00:31:51 |
Hugh, how are you? |
| 00:31:55 |
Excuse me, Joan |
| 00:31:57 |
So, tell me about this military |
| 00:32:00 |
What? |
| 00:32:01 |
It's called... ORTSAC, I believe |
| 00:32:03 |
Castro spelled backwards |
| 00:32:05 |
ORTSAC? |
| 00:32:07 |
I don't know what you're talking about |
| 00:32:09 |
Me either |
| 00:32:10 |
Why? |
| 00:32:11 |
Because maybe the President |
| 00:32:13 |
You're trying to drum something up |
| 00:32:16 |
This meeting's been |
| 00:32:19 |
Far as I know, it's just a friendly |
| 00:32:26 |
Mr. President! |
| 00:32:28 |
Alright, hold it, fellas |
| 00:32:30 |
You'll get your pictures |
| 00:32:33 |
Does it? |
| 00:32:36 |
I'll be damned |
| 00:32:40 |
Kind of simple for the Pentagon |
| 00:32:52 |
Mr. Gromyko |
| 00:32:54 |
Hold on one minute |
| 00:33:00 |
Gentlemen |
| 00:33:04 |
So that there should be |
| 00:33:07 |
the position of the United States |
| 00:33:08 |
which has been made clear |
| 00:33:09 |
to Ambassador Dobrynin here |
| 00:33:11 |
I shall read a sentence |
| 00:33:13 |
to the press dated September 13th |
| 00:33:16 |
"Should missiles or offensive weapon |
| 00:33:19 |
"it would present the gravest threat |
| 00:33:23 |
Mr. President |
| 00:33:24 |
as Premier Kruschev's own statement |
| 00:33:28 |
our military assistance to Cuba |
| 00:33:30 |
is of a defensive nature only |
| 00:33:37 |
So I did not misunderstand you? |
| 00:33:39 |
There are no offensive weapons in Cuba |
| 00:33:43 |
Premier Kruschev's statement |
| 00:33:45 |
remains the position |
| 00:33:48 |
To that I have nothing to add |
| 00:33:52 |
Well, that's good enough for me |
| 00:33:54 |
Thanks so much |
| 00:33:55 |
Thank you |
| 00:33:59 |
Gentlemen |
| 00:34:02 |
A most instructive meeting |
| 00:34:10 |
What happened? |
| 00:34:11 |
Lying bastard |
| 00:34:13 |
Lied right to my face |
| 00:34:14 |
We're split down the middle |
| 00:34:15 |
If I held a vote, I think air strike |
| 00:34:18 |
I want a consensus |
| 00:34:22 |
Something everyone's gonna stand by |
| 00:34:23 |
even if they don't like it |
| 00:34:25 |
And I need it by Saturday |
| 00:34:27 |
So make it happen |
| 00:34:28 |
What if I can't? |
| 00:34:31 |
We go into this split |
| 00:34:34 |
And they'll use it against us |
| 00:34:36 |
Have you cancelled Chicago |
| 00:34:38 |
You don't show for Chicago, everyone |
| 00:34:41 |
I don't care. Just cancel it |
| 00:34:43 |
Forget it |
| 00:34:45 |
I'm not calling |
| 00:34:50 |
You call and cancel on Daley |
| 00:34:52 |
You're scared to cancel on Daley |
| 00:34:54 |
You're damn right, I'm scared |
| 00:34:59 |
Well, I'm not |
| 00:35:04 |
Watch this |
| 00:35:07 |
Welcome to Chicago, Mr. President |
| 00:35:09 |
Mr. Mayor, I wouldn't |
| 00:35:16 |
Let's go |
| 00:35:18 |
Tonight you're going to |
| 00:35:21 |
What's going on? |
| 00:35:22 |
about some sort of troop movements |
| 00:35:24 |
What are you telling them? |
| 00:35:25 |
The truth. I don't know |
| 00:35:27 |
Am I out of the loop on something? |
| 00:35:28 |
No |
| 00:35:30 |
Tell 'em you've looked into it |
| 00:35:34 |
And Pierre, tomorrow |
| 00:35:37 |
A what? |
| 00:35:38 |
A cold |
| 00:35:42 |
Do I get any input around here? |
| 00:35:46 |
Yeah |
| 00:35:47 |
How bad it is, is up to you |
| 00:35:57 |
There are major rail disruptions |
| 00:36:00 |
two airbome divisions are on alert |
| 00:36:02 |
Sounds to me like that |
| 00:36:05 |
You know how Bobby has it in |
| 00:36:07 |
We're invading Cuba |
| 00:36:10 |
Dammit, we are not invading Cuba! |
| 00:36:12 |
Are you crazy? |
| 00:36:14 |
Nobody gives a rat's ass about Cuba! |
| 00:36:16 |
Not now, not ever! |
| 00:36:18 |
If you print that, all you're |
| 00:36:20 |
And nobody talks to assholes |
| 00:36:22 |
Assholes like that |
| 00:36:24 |
can find themselves cut |
| 00:36:29 |
That's the first time |
| 00:36:33 |
All right |
| 00:36:35 |
I won't print anything |
| 00:36:37 |
But I promise you I'll get one |
| 00:36:44 |
Bobby? |
| 00:36:44 |
We've got a consensus for a blockade |
| 00:36:46 |
but it won't last past tomorrow |
| 00:36:48 |
You have to bring him back |
| 00:36:50 |
By the way |
| 00:36:51 |
China invaded India today |
| 00:36:52 |
You're kidding, aren't you? |
| 00:36:53 |
I wish I were |
| 00:36:55 |
Galbraith's handling it in New Delhi |
| 00:36:58 |
Makes you wonder what's coming next |
| 00:37:00 |
What is it about the free world that |
| 00:37:04 |
I don't know |
| 00:37:07 |
Maybe |
| 00:37:09 |
I'll see you tomorrow |
| 00:37:10 |
Okay |
| 00:37:11 |
The President has a cold |
| 00:37:13 |
He's canceling |
| 00:37:15 |
and returning to Washington |
| 00:37:17 |
Is that the final word? |
| 00:37:23 |
President Kennedy! |
| 00:37:36 |
Mr. President, our deliberations |
| 00:37:40 |
that a blockade of offensive weapons |
| 00:37:44 |
A strong showing of support from |
| 00:37:47 |
would give us |
| 00:37:49 |
A blockade |
| 00:37:51 |
Therefore we recommend |
| 00:37:54 |
Let's hope that translates |
| 00:37:59 |
There are between 20... |
| 00:38:02 |
and 30 Soviet ships |
| 00:38:04 |
800 miles out |
| 00:38:06 |
the navy will stop them |
| 00:38:07 |
board |
| 00:38:08 |
and any vessels containing weapons |
| 00:38:11 |
A quarantine prevents |
| 00:38:13 |
but it doesn't remove |
| 00:38:16 |
It gives the Soviets a chance |
| 00:38:19 |
If they refuse to remove the missiles |
| 00:38:21 |
we retain the option |
| 00:38:24 |
A sneak attack is counter to |
| 00:38:28 |
It leaves us no room for maneuver |
| 00:38:30 |
And the inevitable Soviet response |
| 00:38:33 |
Mr. President |
| 00:38:36 |
who believe |
| 00:38:38 |
With the blockade |
| 00:38:42 |
and we also run the risk of the Soviets |
| 00:38:44 |
if they decide they have to |
| 00:38:49 |
So quarantine... |
| 00:38:51 |
or air strike |
| 00:38:53 |
There is a third option |
| 00:38:56 |
With either course we undertake |
| 00:39:01 |
So maybe one of us in this room |
| 00:39:07 |
So I guess I'll be |
| 00:39:09 |
A third course is to strike a deal |
| 00:39:13 |
We trade Guantanamo |
| 00:39:15 |
get them to pull their missiles out |
| 00:39:17 |
We employ a back channel |
| 00:39:19 |
We attribute the idea to U. N. Thant |
| 00:39:22 |
U Thant then raises it at the U. N. |
| 00:39:27 |
I don't think that's possible, Adlai |
| 00:39:33 |
I've not yet made my final decision |
| 00:39:35 |
I'll be asking the networks |
| 00:39:38 |
We'll announce |
| 00:39:42 |
Ted, get to work on speeches |
| 00:39:45 |
and air strike |
| 00:39:48 |
Thank you for all your advice |
| 00:39:51 |
Did you hear Adlai? |
| 00:39:53 |
You'd think nobody |
| 00:39:56 |
Somebody had to say it |
| 00:39:58 |
I respect Adlai for having the guts |
| 00:40:00 |
We have to pull him |
| 00:40:02 |
He won't be able to handle |
| 00:40:05 |
Zorin will eat him alive |
| 00:40:06 |
We've got bigger problems right now |
| 00:40:09 |
Ladies? |
| 00:40:10 |
No, thank you |
| 00:40:15 |
Honey, I'll be right back |
| 00:40:25 |
Adlai |
| 00:40:29 |
Just can't seem to |
| 00:40:31 |
Escaping from a night on the town? |
| 00:40:34 |
As D. C. 's most popular playboy |
| 00:40:35 |
the President felt my presence |
| 00:40:38 |
in the interest of National Security |
| 00:40:42 |
here I am |
| 00:40:43 |
Yes. Gotta keep up appearances |
| 00:40:45 |
Of course, I don't any more |
| 00:40:49 |
I'm a political dead man |
| 00:40:51 |
Did you ever see anyone |
| 00:40:56 |
No |
| 00:40:59 |
It's alright |
| 00:41:00 |
By the way |
| 00:41:01 |
I spoke to a friend |
| 00:41:03 |
Reston and Frankel have the story |
| 00:41:05 |
The Times is going to run it tomorrow |
| 00:41:11 |
We're not gonna make it to Monday |
| 00:41:12 |
Shit |
| 00:41:13 |
I'll get Sorenson |
| 00:41:15 |
But you're gonna |
| 00:41:18 |
This is the sort of decision |
| 00:41:21 |
Alright |
| 00:41:22 |
Thanks, Kenny |
| 00:41:25 |
Yes sir, I understand |
| 00:41:26 |
But we held on the Bay of Pigs |
| 00:41:28 |
and it was the |
| 00:41:30 |
What makes this different? |
| 00:41:30 |
Orville, I'm asking you |
| 00:41:32 |
until I can present |
| 00:41:38 |
Alright |
| 00:41:38 |
But I'm gonna need a reason |
| 00:41:40 |
They're gonna be screaming |
| 00:41:42 |
Orville, you tell them this |
| 00:41:44 |
That they'll be saving lives |
| 00:41:46 |
including their own |
| 00:41:50 |
Yes, Mr. President |
| 00:42:19 |
How many Congressmen |
| 00:42:21 |
Fourteen |
| 00:42:22 |
Boggs is in the Gulf fishing? |
| 00:42:24 |
I thought |
| 00:42:27 |
He's not gone for long, sir |
| 00:42:28 |
Jesus. Get a plane out there |
| 00:42:32 |
He wants to talk to LeMay again |
| 00:42:35 |
He's still considering air strikes |
| 00:42:46 |
None of this works tomorrow |
| 00:42:48 |
Figure out how to cancel it |
| 00:42:49 |
Yes, sir |
| 00:42:52 |
We're on the phones |
| 00:43:03 |
Cam, can you guarantee me |
| 00:43:09 |
Sir, I guarantee we'll get |
| 00:43:12 |
Mr. President |
| 00:43:13 |
we can get better than |
| 00:43:19 |
I'll brief the Congressional |
| 00:43:24 |
At seven o'clock, all United States |
| 00:43:27 |
will stand up to DEFCON 3 |
| 00:43:30 |
I have a brief statement |
| 00:43:33 |
President Kennedy |
| 00:43:35 |
On radio and television |
| 00:43:37 |
on a subject of |
| 00:43:40 |
He has requested airtime |
| 00:43:43 |
Thank you very much |
| 00:44:13 |
Mr. President |
| 00:44:15 |
Congress cannot give you |
| 00:44:20 |
Mr. President? |
| 00:44:20 |
Sir? |
| 00:44:22 |
If they want this goddamn job |
| 00:44:24 |
It's no great joy to me |
| 00:44:26 |
Mr. President, here's the speech |
| 00:44:28 |
I need a minute |
| 00:44:29 |
Kenny, no |
| 00:44:30 |
A minute |
| 00:44:36 |
I don't want a goddamn pep talk |
| 00:44:38 |
You're not the Harvard |
| 00:44:41 |
We're on the brink here |
| 00:44:42 |
They're trying to second-guess me |
| 00:44:45 |
Well, it's not gonna happen |
| 00:44:46 |
What did you think |
| 00:44:47 |
Offer you unconditional support? |
| 00:44:50 |
Kiss your Catholic ass? |
| 00:44:53 |
They don't think |
| 00:44:55 |
What the hell do you think? |
| 00:44:56 |
I think we haven't been |
| 00:44:58 |
and they have good reason |
| 00:45:01 |
What do you want, Kenny? |
| 00:45:03 |
I want you to sit down |
| 00:45:04 |
I'm not gonna sit down |
| 00:45:07 |
I want you to sit down |
| 00:45:08 |
loosen your tie |
| 00:45:10 |
I haven't got a minute! |
| 00:45:11 |
You're the President |
| 00:45:14 |
They can wait for you |
| 00:45:21 |
Why not |
| 00:45:26 |
Things can't get much worse |
| 00:45:27 |
We could have to... |
| 00:45:29 |
go down to Lyndon's ranch again |
| 00:45:35 |
Shoot deer |
| 00:45:40 |
That was a bad day |
| 00:45:45 |
You know |
| 00:45:52 |
You know |
| 00:45:55 |
the day Bobby |
| 00:45:59 |
I didn't get you at first |
| 00:46:02 |
I thought you were lucky |
| 00:46:04 |
Your father had a lot of money |
| 00:46:06 |
You were skinny |
| 00:46:08 |
Girls loved you |
| 00:46:11 |
I thought I could |
| 00:46:15 |
But he... |
| 00:46:16 |
just kept going on and on about you |
| 00:46:21 |
I thought it was |
| 00:46:27 |
But I was wrong |
| 00:46:31 |
I was wrong |
| 00:46:51 |
You sleeping? |
| 00:46:53 |
No, not much |
| 00:46:56 |
I slept last night, though |
| 00:46:58 |
And when I woke up |
| 00:47:03 |
I'd forgotten that |
| 00:47:08 |
And then I remembered |
| 00:47:10 |
and I just wished for |
| 00:47:16 |
You mean that? |
| 00:47:19 |
I said for a second |
| 00:47:27 |
Boy, there is |
| 00:47:35 |
You know what you're doing |
| 00:47:39 |
You're gonna make |
| 00:47:41 |
And you know |
| 00:47:43 |
So what? |
| 00:47:46 |
We're just gonna have to |
| 00:47:54 |
So what are we gonna do now? |
| 00:47:58 |
I'm going on TV |
| 00:48:09 |
Maybe the American people |
| 00:48:12 |
Even if their... |
| 00:48:15 |
elected representatives won't |
| 00:48:24 |
You wear something nice for the TV |
| 00:48:26 |
Make sure Jackie picks it |
| 00:48:34 |
Excuse me |
| 00:48:40 |
Okay, everybody. I think we're ready |
| 00:48:45 |
No. I'm fine |
| 00:48:48 |
Mr. President, in five... |
| 00:48:50 |
four... three... two... |
| 00:48:53 |
Good evening, my fellow citizens |
| 00:48:55 |
This government, as promised |
| 00:48:57 |
has maintained |
| 00:48:59 |
of the Soviet military build-up |
| 00:49:03 |
Within the past week |
| 00:49:04 |
unmistakable evidence |
| 00:49:06 |
that a series of |
| 00:49:10 |
is now in preparation |
| 00:49:13 |
The purpose of these bases |
| 00:49:16 |
a nuclear strike capability |
| 00:49:17 |
against the Western Hemisphere |
| 00:49:21 |
Acting therefore |
| 00:49:23 |
and under the authority entrusted |
| 00:49:26 |
I have directed that the following |
| 00:49:30 |
First |
| 00:49:31 |
to halt this offensive build-up |
| 00:49:33 |
a strict quarantine on |
| 00:49:36 |
under shipment to Cuba |
| 00:49:38 |
All ships of any kind bound for Cuba |
| 00:49:41 |
form whatever nation or port |
| 00:49:43 |
will, if found to contain cargoes |
| 00:49:47 |
Second |
| 00:49:48 |
I have directed |
| 00:49:51 |
close surveillance of Cuba |
| 00:49:53 |
Should these military |
| 00:49:55 |
further action will be justified |
| 00:49:57 |
I have directed the Armed Forces |
| 00:50:01 |
And third |
| 00:50:02 |
It shall be the policy of this nation |
| 00:50:04 |
to regard any nuclear missile |
| 00:50:07 |
against any nation in the |
| 00:50:11 |
by the Soviet Union |
| 00:50:13 |
requiring a full retaliatory response |
| 00:50:26 |
Good speech, Teddy |
| 00:50:28 |
I guess I get to keep my job |
| 00:50:32 |
No |
| 00:50:34 |
It was a really good speech |
| 00:50:36 |
I can't imagine what you did |
| 00:50:43 |
I wasn't able to write, Kenny |
| 00:50:47 |
It's kind of hard |
| 00:50:50 |
I tried, I just... |
| 00:50:56 |
I couldn't |
| 00:51:01 |
We're getting the Soviet response |
| 00:51:03 |
It's coming in on the teletype |
| 00:51:06 |
"The community of nations recognizes" |
| 00:51:08 |
"the fundamental right |
| 00:51:10 |
THis is horseshit |
| 00:51:12 |
I agree |
| 00:51:20 |
They don't know how to respond yet |
| 00:51:24 |
So now you're Kruschev |
| 00:51:26 |
What do you do? |
| 00:51:32 |
You run the blockade |
| 00:51:35 |
They'll run the blockade |
| 00:51:36 |
Which is what they appear to |
| 00:51:40 |
We're tracking 26 ships |
| 00:51:42 |
They show no sign of changing course |
| 00:51:45 |
The closest ships |
| 00:51:47 |
will make the quarantine line |
| 00:51:50 |
Admiral Anderson |
| 00:51:53 |
exactly what are |
| 00:51:56 |
Russian- speaking personnel |
| 00:51:59 |
When the quarantine |
| 00:52:01 |
our ships will attempt radio contact |
| 00:52:04 |
They'll be ordered to reduce speed |
| 00:52:08 |
An inspection team will then |
| 00:52:11 |
If weapons are found, the ship will be |
| 00:52:15 |
If they refuse |
| 00:52:16 |
they'll be towed into the nearest port |
| 00:52:18 |
What if the ship doesn't stop |
| 00:52:21 |
We fire a warning shot |
| 00:52:23 |
And what happens |
| 00:52:26 |
Wen then fire at its rudder |
| 00:52:28 |
disable it |
| 00:52:30 |
There will be no shooting |
| 00:52:33 |
Is that understood? |
| 00:52:35 |
Yes sir |
| 00:52:36 |
Well, Admiral |
| 00:52:38 |
The navy won't let you down, sir |
| 00:52:40 |
There is one other thing |
| 00:52:42 |
We're commencing low-level photography |
| 00:52:45 |
It'll be more detailed |
| 00:52:48 |
We'll firm up our estimates |
| 00:52:51 |
and develop target packages for strikes |
| 00:52:55 |
To protect our pilots |
| 00:52:56 |
we're prepared to retaliate |
| 00:52:58 |
or anti-aircraft battery |
| 00:53:01 |
We have a flight of Thunderchiefs |
| 00:53:02 |
respond within minutes |
| 00:53:13 |
I've got a bad feeling about |
| 00:53:15 |
In the morning |
| 00:53:16 |
I'm taking charge of the blockade |
| 00:53:18 |
And McNamara is gonna set up shop |
| 00:53:21 |
He'll keep an eye on things there |
| 00:53:22 |
Good |
| 00:53:22 |
You get armed boarders |
| 00:53:25 |
with shots being fired across bows |
| 00:53:26 |
What about these low-level flights? |
| 00:53:28 |
We need the flights |
| 00:53:29 |
They're starting in what? |
| 00:53:29 |
An hour |
| 00:53:31 |
Do you realize what you're in for? |
| 00:53:33 |
We need the flights |
| 00:53:34 |
because the minute that |
| 00:53:36 |
we gotta go in there and destroy them |
| 00:53:37 |
Fair enough. But Castro's on alert |
| 00:53:39 |
and we're flying attack planes |
| 00:53:43 |
There's no way for them to know |
| 00:53:47 |
They're going to be shot at |
| 00:53:47 |
plain and simple |
| 00:53:51 |
I'm your political advisor |
| 00:53:53 |
I'm giving you a political analysis |
| 00:53:56 |
This is a set-up |
| 00:53:59 |
The Chiefs want to go in |
| 00:54:01 |
They need to redeem themselves |
| 00:54:04 |
They gotta go in this time |
| 00:54:07 |
I'm gonna protect those pilots |
| 00:54:10 |
They're boxing us in |
| 00:54:13 |
If you agree and |
| 00:54:15 |
or one of the ships |
| 00:54:16 |
the Chiefs will have us by the balls |
| 00:54:18 |
and will force us to start shooting |
| 00:54:20 |
They want a war |
| 00:54:25 |
and they're arranging thing to get one |
| 00:54:32 |
How does a man get to a place |
| 00:54:33 |
where he can say |
| 00:54:38 |
Maybe it's harder for them |
| 00:54:40 |
but at the very least |
| 00:54:40 |
they believe it's in our best interest |
| 00:54:43 |
And you know what? |
| 00:54:46 |
At the end of the day they may well |
| 00:54:48 |
end up being right |
| 00:54:55 |
I'll tell you one thing |
| 00:54:56 |
We have to triple-check |
| 00:54:57 |
everything the Chiefs say to us |
| 00:55:02 |
And nobody's to know about this |
| 00:55:03 |
but Bobby |
| 00:55:05 |
I need redundant control over |
| 00:55:07 |
If things aren't advertised |
| 00:55:08 |
then you are gonna make sure |
| 00:55:09 |
Starting with |
| 00:55:13 |
That's gonna be tough |
| 00:55:14 |
You know how these guys are |
| 00:55:18 |
Listen, tell them |
| 00:55:19 |
end at one place - me |
| 00:55:24 |
Go ahead, sir |
| 00:55:25 |
Speak up, lady. I cannot hear you |
| 00:55:27 |
I got a train to catch |
| 00:55:31 |
That's the one |
| 00:55:32 |
What's her name? |
| 00:55:33 |
Margaret |
| 00:55:35 |
Margaret |
| 00:55:39 |
Yes sir, I understand exactly |
| 00:55:41 |
I speak the language, too |
| 00:55:42 |
What? |
| 00:55:43 |
Margaret, would you mind |
| 00:55:45 |
What do you need, honey? |
| 00:55:47 |
That tone of voice, specifically |
| 00:55:51 |
What tone of voice? |
| 00:55:53 |
I told you, sir |
| 00:56:01 |
Ready Room |
| 00:56:03 |
Skipper. What are you doing? |
| 00:56:05 |
Looking out the door |
| 00:56:06 |
I'll get him for you |
| 00:56:07 |
At what? |
| 00:56:08 |
Cuba |
| 00:56:09 |
Skipper! |
| 00:56:10 |
Telephone |

Commander Ecker |
| 00:56:18 |
Commander Ecker |
| 00:56:19 |
This is the White House Operator |
| 00:56:21 |
Please hold |
| 00:56:22 |
Shit |
| 00:56:23 |
Honey, you don't know what shit is |
| 00:56:27 |
Commander |
| 00:56:28 |
my name's Ken O'Donnell |
| 00:56:30 |
Special Assistant to the President |
| 00:56:32 |
Yes, sir |
| 00:56:33 |
The Presiden'ts instructed me |
| 00:56:36 |
You are not to get shot down |
| 00:56:39 |
We'll do our best, sir |
| 00:56:41 |
I don't think |
| 00:56:43 |
You are not to get shot down |
| 00:56:45 |
under any circumstances |
| 00:56:47 |
Whatever happens up there |
| 00:56:48 |
you were not shot at |
| 00:56:49 |
Mechanical failures are fine |
| 00:56:51 |
crashing into mountains, fine |
| 00:56:53 |
You are not to be shot at, fired at |
| 00:56:57 |
or launched upon |
| 00:56:58 |
Excuse me, sir |
| 00:57:01 |
Commander, if you are fired upon |
| 00:57:03 |
the President will be forced to |
| 00:57:06 |
He doesn't want to have to do that |
| 00:57:08 |
It's very important that he doesn't |
| 00:57:10 |
or things could go |
| 00:57:12 |
What about my men? |
| 00:57:14 |
If we don't have anybody to protect us |
| 00:57:16 |
I'm gonna be writing |
| 00:57:17 |
If the President |
| 00:57:19 |
he may have to do it with the Bomb |
| 00:57:23 |
I've known the man for fifteen years |
| 00:57:26 |
he will protect you |
| 00:57:28 |
So I'm asking you |
| 00:57:32 |
Don't get shot at |
| 00:57:34 |
Okay, Mr. O'Donnell |
| 00:57:38 |
I know you will |
| 00:57:40 |
Good luck |
| 00:57:50 |
Hey, Joey |
| 00:58:05 |
See you, Joey |
| 00:58:06 |
Thanks, Joey |
| 00:58:07 |
There you go, Jeremy |
| 00:58:09 |
Hey, Bruce |
| 00:58:10 |
Skipper? |
| 00:58:11 |
Never mind. Just do what I do |
| 00:58:13 |
Hand signs only |
| 00:58:27 |
You are clear |
| 00:58:27 |
Ready to go, sir |
| 00:58:29 |
Good luck, Skipper |
| 01:00:43 |
Shit! |
| 01:00:44 |
Did you see it? |
| 01:00:49 |
Man! You were lucky, Skipper! |
| 01:00:50 |
Danm sparrows |
| 01:00:52 |
Musta been migrating |
| 01:00:53 |
Sparrows? |
| 01:00:54 |
Probably hit a couple hundred of them |
| 01:00:56 |
How many did you hit, Bruce? |
| 01:00:57 |
Sparrows? |
| 01:01:02 |
A few, I guess |
| 01:01:04 |
These 20 millimeter |
| 01:01:06 |
Those are bird strikes |
| 01:01:08 |
Sparrows, to be precise |
| 01:01:11 |
That's the way it is, guys |
| 01:01:13 |
Get that film packed up! |
| 01:01:19 |
Commander Ecker |
| 01:01:20 |
Hello? |
| 01:01:21 |
Sir |
| 01:01:22 |
Commander |
| 01:01:22 |
Mr. O'Donnell, I've been ordered |
| 01:01:24 |
to deliver the film |
| 01:01:26 |
What's going on here? |
| 01:01:27 |
The Chiefs must wanna talk to you |
| 01:01:31 |
They're gonna want to know |
| 01:01:33 |
Were you? |
| 01:01:34 |
You could say that, sir |
| 01:01:39 |
Commander, listen to me |
| 01:01:42 |
I know this must fly in the face |
| 01:01:46 |
but I'm asking you to look |
| 01:01:52 |
Commander William B. Ecker |
| 01:01:54 |
Commander |
| 01:01:55 |
Sir |
| 01:01:56 |
Put your gear down over here |
| 01:01:59 |
Would you like |
| 01:02:01 |
No, thank you, sir |
| 01:02:03 |
Sir |
| 01:02:04 |
Ecker |
| 01:02:05 |
Have a seat |
| 01:02:09 |
Commander |
| 01:02:12 |
Son |
| 01:02:13 |
I wanna know just one thing |
| 01:02:15 |
Did those bastards shoot so much |
| 01:02:21 |
It was a cakewalk, sir |
| 01:02:25 |
Mr. President |
| 01:02:26 |
The OAS meeting starts |
| 01:02:28 |
Good. I think we need this one. Dean |
| 01:02:30 |
We can't expect miracles |
| 01:02:32 |
The quarantine is legal |
| 01:02:36 |
Otherwise it's an act of war |
| 01:02:38 |
So you gotta get me the vote |
| 01:02:40 |
And make it unanimous |
| 01:02:41 |
Mr. President |
| 01:02:43 |
hasn't had a unanimous vote since... |
| 01:02:44 |
Unanimous, Dean |
| 01:03:12 |
In accordance |
| 01:03:14 |
at the Organization of American States |
| 01:03:16 |
the quarantine |
| 01:03:19 |
as of ten o'clock tomorrow morning |
| 01:03:37 |
At eight a. m. this morning |
| 01:03:38 |
the United States |
| 01:03:40 |
detonated a hydrogen bomb above |
| 01:03:43 |
The blast was quickly condemned |
| 01:03:46 |
who called upon all nations |
| 01:03:50 |
for bringing the world |
| 01:03:51 |
Who the hell authorized the test? |
| 01:03:53 |
What is this gonna say |
| 01:03:54 |
They look warlike? |
| 01:03:56 |
Jesus Christ |
| 01:03:58 |
like it's our own |
| 01:04:00 |
You know what? |
| 01:04:01 |
We should have brought in the guys |
| 01:04:04 |
and talked this through |
| 01:04:06 |
Looked at these tests a little harder |
| 01:04:09 |
before just giving the go-ahead |
| 01:04:13 |
You know, last summer I read a book |
| 01:04:17 |
I wish every man on that blockade line |
| 01:04:20 |
It's World War One |
| 01:04:21 |
There's thirteen million killed |
| 01:04:23 |
It's all because the militaries |
| 01:04:25 |
that they were so highly |
| 01:04:28 |
and dispositions, they could |
| 01:04:31 |
But all their theories |
| 01:04:33 |
And the world |
| 01:04:35 |
and those lessons |
| 01:04:37 |
But it was all they knew |
| 01:04:39 |
so the orders went out |
| 01:04:41 |
couldn't be rescinded |
| 01:04:45 |
The man in the field, his family |
| 01:04:48 |
the reasons |
| 01:04:53 |
But why couldn't they stop it? |
| 01:04:56 |
What could they have done? |
| 01:04:58 |
Here we are 50 years later |
| 01:05:01 |
Say one of their ships |
| 01:05:05 |
and we shoot out its rudder |
| 01:05:07 |
and board |
| 01:05:08 |
They shoot down |
| 01:05:12 |
So we bomb their anti-aircraft sites |
| 01:05:16 |
They attack Berlin |
| 01:05:20 |
So we invade Cuba |
| 01:05:25 |
And they fire their missiles |
| 01:05:32 |
Helen, I want you |
| 01:05:36 |
I want you to leave the TV on |
| 01:05:38 |
I want you to sleep with it on |
| 01:05:41 |
until I call you |
| 01:05:44 |
What's happened? |
| 01:05:46 |
Nothing |
| 01:05:47 |
you don't already know about |
| 01:05:50 |
Just have the car ready to go |
| 01:05:53 |
or a Civil Defense Warning comes on |
| 01:05:56 |
What happens to you? |
| 01:05:59 |
I'm not leaving without you |
| 01:06:02 |
I'll be evacuated with the President |
| 01:06:08 |
Great |
| 01:06:12 |
And while you're under a rock |
| 01:06:16 |
what am I supposed to do |
| 01:06:17 |
Honey |
| 01:06:18 |
We're not gonna let it come to that |
| 01:06:21 |
I promise |
| 01:06:24 |
Jack and Bobby |
| 01:06:27 |
they're smart guys |
| 01:06:31 |
You're smart, too |
| 01:06:37 |
Not like them |
| 01:06:45 |
Hi, Ken |
| 01:06:52 |
Helen just asked me what arrangements |
| 01:06:56 |
I just checked that myself |
| 01:06:59 |
They're being issued identity cards |
| 01:07:01 |
And if the call comes |
| 01:07:02 |
evacuation officers meet them |
| 01:07:06 |
They go by helicopter to Mount Weather |
| 01:07:08 |
We meet them there |
| 01:07:14 |
Course that's for morale |
| 01:07:17 |
Missiles only take five minutes |
| 01:07:23 |
The President |
| 01:07:25 |
to come back from the country |
| 01:07:30 |
You know those pictures upstairs... |
| 01:07:33 |
of Lincoln? |
| 01:07:36 |
He looked so old near the end |
| 01:07:40 |
When we got here, I said |
| 01:07:41 |
it's not gonna happen to us |
| 01:07:44 |
We were too young |
| 01:07:47 |
Why don't you go home tonight? |
| 01:07:51 |
Go on home |
| 01:07:53 |
Nah |
| 01:07:54 |
It's too much trouble to get a car |
| 01:07:57 |
Ken, we can get you a car |
| 01:08:00 |
No |
| 01:08:00 |
Go ahead |
| 01:08:02 |
No |
| 01:08:04 |
I'll let her sleep |
| 01:08:07 |
I'll let 'em sleep |
| 01:08:10 |
It almost seemed today as |
| 01:08:13 |
The shooting hadn't started yet |
| 01:08:15 |
but there weren't any |
| 01:08:17 |
that it could be avoided |
| 01:08:19 |
But worried, alarmed |
| 01:08:22 |
the American public nonetheless |
| 01:08:25 |
appeared determined and resolved |
| 01:08:28 |
This is Walter Cronkite |
| 01:08:30 |
Good night |
| 01:10:13 |
Gentlemen |
| 01:10:14 |
can you hear me? |
| 01:10:15 |
Yes, we hear you fine |
| 01:10:17 |
I've got one minute 'til ten here |
| 01:10:19 |
The quarantine commences in one minute |
| 01:10:28 |
And no sign of them stopping |
| 01:10:45 |
Sir |
| 01:10:54 |
The quarantine is now in effect |
| 01:10:57 |
And it looks like our first customers |
| 01:11:20 |
Chief, I've got something |
| 01:11:23 |
XO, take a look at this |
| 01:11:29 |
New contact, Skipper |
| 01:11:38 |
What do we got? |
| 01:11:39 |
A Russian sub |
| 01:11:43 |
General Quarters! |
| 01:11:56 |
Breaker 231, correlates |
| 01:12:05 |
It's protecting the freighters |
| 01:12:15 |
Bob, is there any way to |
| 01:12:19 |
I'm afraid not, Mr. President |
| 01:12:21 |
The sub has positioned itself between |
| 01:12:24 |
Admiral Anderson insists |
| 01:12:26 |
to proceed with |
| 01:12:28 |
The Pierce would be |
| 01:12:31 |
Put me through to the Pierce |
| 01:12:33 |
Yes, sir |
| 01:12:34 |
Admiral Anderson |
| 01:12:35 |
the President wishes to speak |
| 01:12:39 |
Is that a problem? |
| 01:12:40 |
No, it isn't, sir |
| 01:12:43 |
He's putting you through, sir |
| 01:12:45 |
Sir, I'm patching you |
| 01:12:49 |
This is the Captain of the Pierce |
| 01:12:50 |
Captain |
| 01:12:52 |
Mr. President |
| 01:12:53 |
Is there any way you can |
| 01:12:56 |
without damaging it or yourself? |
| 01:12:58 |
I can bring it up, Mr. President |
| 01:13:00 |
But whether it's damaged or not |
| 01:13:03 |
Even if they do force it up |
| 01:13:05 |
that sub'll be inspected |
| 01:13:07 |
They'd be executed for allowing it |
| 01:13:22 |
Captain, force the sub to the surface |
| 01:13:24 |
Yes, Mr. President |
| 01:13:27 |
Prepare to fire torpedoes |
| 01:13:28 |
Prepare to fire torpedoes. Aye, sir |
| 01:13:30 |
Prepare to launch ASROC |
| 01:13:30 |
Prepare to launch ASROC! Aye, sir |
| 01:14:01 |
What're they up to? |
| 01:14:04 |
Slowing down |
| 01:14:14 |
They stopped |
| 01:14:16 |
Mr. Secretary! |
| 01:14:17 |
We're receiving reports |
| 01:14:20 |
Mr. President |
| 01:14:21 |
Reports are coming in here |
| 01:14:23 |
the ships appear to b stopping |
| 01:14:25 |
Captain, belay that order! |
| 01:14:27 |
Hold you fire! |
| 01:14:28 |
Where's that coming from? |
| 01:14:28 |
One second, Mr. President |
| 01:14:30 |
Somebody find out what's going on |
| 01:14:35 |
Those ships are definitely stopping |
| 01:14:39 |
Some are turning around |
| 01:14:43 |
Are they stopping? |
| 01:14:44 |
I don't know what they're doing |
| 01:14:45 |
Admiral |
| 01:14:47 |
Admiral, what's happening? |
| 01:14:48 |
Yes, sir. They are... stopping |
| 01:14:52 |
Mr. President |
| 01:14:53 |
reports are coming in from all around |
| 01:14:55 |
The ships are stopping |
| 01:14:58 |
Some are turning around |
| 01:15:00 |
Soem are turning around |
| 01:15:11 |
We were eyeball to eyeball, and I |
| 01:15:31 |
Sir |
| 01:15:32 |
Mr. President |
| 01:15:35 |
Sir? |
| 01:15:36 |
We have the tally from NSA |
| 01:15:39 |
We have 20 ships |
| 01:15:41 |
Six, however |
| 01:15:47 |
It's a mistake |
| 01:15:50 |
They must not have gotten |
| 01:15:53 |
That's unlikely, Bobby |
| 01:15:55 |
We've been monitoring |
| 01:15:57 |
from the Gagarin and the Kimovsk |
| 01:15:59 |
Their radios are working |
| 01:16:01 |
One ship, an accident, maybe |
| 01:16:04 |
Six, Mr. President, is intentional |
| 01:16:07 |
Mr. President, let them go |
| 01:16:08 |
You're still here? |
| 01:16:09 |
4 of the 6 continuing ships |
| 01:16:13 |
They stopped the ones |
| 01:16:16 |
We'd look pretty bad shooting up |
| 01:16:19 |
We sure as shit would |
| 01:16:22 |
Captain, I want you |
| 01:16:24 |
and do nothing until I order otherwise |
| 01:16:28 |
Yes, Mr. President |
| 01:16:29 |
Contact only |
| 01:16:37 |
At its beginning |
| 01:16:38 |
this day looked as though |
| 01:16:41 |
armed conflict between |
| 01:16:43 |
on the sea lanes leading to Cuba |
| 01:16:47 |
Find out how close |
| 01:16:49 |
to their anti-ship missiles |
| 01:17:16 |
Goddammit |
| 01:17:17 |
How the goddamn hell |
| 01:17:19 |
I will have Power's head on a platter |
| 01:17:21 |
Next to LeMay's |
| 01:17:23 |
Kenny, you hear me |
| 01:17:26 |
'Cause I remember |
| 01:17:29 |
but I must be suffering from amnesia |
| 01:17:31 |
I've just been informed |
| 01:17:34 |
Mr. President |
| 01:17:35 |
the orders were limited... |
| 01:17:37 |
to our strategic forces |
| 01:17:41 |
General LeMay is correct |
| 01:17:42 |
Technically |
| 01:17:44 |
I have the authority! |
| 01:17:47 |
I am the commander-in-chief |
| 01:17:49 |
and I say when we go to war |
| 01:17:53 |
We're not at war, sir |
| 01:18:00 |
General |
| 01:18:02 |
the Joint Chiefs have just signaled |
| 01:18:06 |
You've signaled an escalation |
| 01:18:08 |
which I had no wish to signal |
| 01:18:13 |
Get out of here, Max |
| 01:18:14 |
Yes, sir |
| 01:18:24 |
Rescind the order. Can all the Chiefs |
| 01:18:26 |
Put Nitze, Gilpatric |
| 01:18:28 |
Yes, we can |
| 01:18:29 |
We can't fire the Chiefs, Bobby |
| 01:18:31 |
Our invasion talk |
| 01:18:34 |
Or even worse |
| 01:18:40 |
Jesus |
| 01:18:49 |
Kenny |
| 01:18:50 |
give me a couple minutes |
| 01:19:03 |
Just try this on for size |
| 01:19:06 |
We get a hold of Walter Lippman |
| 01:19:08 |
and we leak the idea of pulling |
| 01:19:12 |
The Soviets |
| 01:19:17 |
We back JFK! K. and K. must talk! |
| 01:19:18 |
End the arms race, not the human race |
| 01:19:20 |
Hey, hey, JFK! |
| 01:19:31 |
Kenny |
| 01:19:33 |
Mac |
| 01:19:34 |
What did you think of |
| 01:19:35 |
It's a bad idea |
| 01:19:36 |
Thank God. Look |
| 01:19:38 |
We trade away our missiles in Turkey |
| 01:19:41 |
You've gotta stop it |
| 01:19:42 |
We know it was Jack and Bobby's idea |
| 01:19:43 |
They leaked it to Lippman |
| 01:19:44 |
The military guys are going ape |
| 01:19:46 |
They should speak up |
| 01:19:48 |
Christ, Ken, it's not that easy |
| 01:19:49 |
It is |
| 01:19:50 |
It isn't. They don't trust |
| 01:19:51 |
But these people are right |
| 01:19:54 |
We need you to talk to them |
| 01:19:56 |
Jack and Bobby are good men |
| 01:19:57 |
You mean the President |
| 01:19:59 |
And the Attorney General? |
| 01:20:01 |
Kenny, they are good men |
| 01:20:02 |
moral toughness |
| 01:20:06 |
You're in the White House right now |
| 01:20:09 |
They may be wrong. They make mistakes |
| 01:20:12 |
But they are not weak |
| 01:20:14 |
The weak ones are these people |
| 01:20:16 |
You know I don't mean |
| 01:20:17 |
No, you just lack a "moral toughness" |
| 01:20:20 |
Jesus Christ, Mac! |
| 01:20:23 |
You think I'll play your Judas for you |
| 01:20:27 |
You never understood us, for you |
| 01:20:28 |
We've been fighting with each other |
| 01:20:30 |
But nobody plays us off each other |
| 01:20:32 |
and nobody ever |
| 01:20:34 |
ever gets between us |
| 01:20:37 |
It's trial balloon, Kenny |
| 01:20:38 |
Then somebody better publicly deny it |
| 01:20:41 |
because there's only one way |
| 01:20:44 |
We sell out one of our own friends |
| 01:20:48 |
Fuck! |
| 01:20:49 |
Exactly |
| 01:20:52 |
Jesus Christ. They're killing us |
| 01:20:55 |
... and enter into negotiations... |
| 01:20:59 |
in order to normalize |
| 01:21:01 |
and avert the threat of a world war |
| 01:21:03 |
What is that Sun Tzu says? |
| 01:21:07 |
"War is a moral contest |
| 01:21:09 |
and they're won in the temples |
| 01:21:11 |
This enormous danger for all mankind... |
| 01:21:15 |
which exists at this moment... |
| 01:21:18 |
It's right here |
| 01:21:19 |
This is where we turn it around |
| 01:21:20 |
You all Adlai. You tell him |
| 01:21:28 |
The U. S. believes that |
| 01:21:31 |
by pressuring other countries |
| 01:21:35 |
we would surrender due to hunger |
| 01:21:38 |
How does it feel, Mr. President, |
| 01:21:41 |
to be this heroic... |
| 01:21:43 |
and force a country |
| 01:21:46 |
Am I still on hold? |
| 01:21:47 |
They're trying to find him right now |
| 01:21:50 |
Adlai's too weak! |
| 01:21:51 |
We have to convince Jack to pull him |
| 01:21:54 |
You can't talk him out this |
| 01:21:55 |
Zorin will eat him alive |
| 01:21:58 |
Then talk to your brother, goddammit! |
| 01:22:00 |
The two of you don't need my advice |
| 01:22:03 |
What's gotten into you? |
| 01:22:08 |
Are you still sore |
| 01:22:10 |
That's something |
| 01:22:18 |
My father? |
| 01:22:20 |
I'm just trying to make a pint |
| 01:22:22 |
This idea is that fucking bad |
| 01:22:27 |
Adlai can handle Zorin |
| 01:22:30 |
He's better |
| 01:22:32 |
Because nobody believes |
| 01:22:35 |
Nobody |
| 01:22:38 |
Yes? |
| 01:22:39 |
Adlai |
| 01:22:39 |
Yes |
| 01:22:40 |
It's Ken. How are you doing? |
| 01:22:42 |
I'm busy, Ken |
| 01:22:43 |
What do you need? |
| 01:22:44 |
The President told me |
| 01:22:46 |
stick it to them |
| 01:22:49 |
I hear you |
| 01:22:51 |
I'm glad it's you calling |
| 01:22:53 |
I thought it would be Bobby |
| 01:22:55 |
Adlai, the world has to know |
| 01:22:59 |
If we're gonna have a chance |
| 01:23:00 |
we're gonna need |
| 01:23:03 |
You gotta be tough, Adlai |
| 01:23:06 |
You need to find it, Buddy |
| 01:23:09 |
If they're still sticking |
| 01:23:11 |
I'll get them |
| 01:23:13 |
I'm an old political cat, Kenny |
| 01:23:16 |
But I've got onw life left |
| 01:23:18 |
I know you do |
| 01:23:19 |
See you, Ken |
| 01:23:25 |
Boddy |
| 01:23:39 |
we call upon the world |
| 01:23:40 |
to condemn this purely |
| 01:23:45 |
We, the people of Romania |
| 01:23:48 |
stand in solidarity with |
| 01:23:53 |
and their revolution in the face of |
| 01:23:58 |
Thank you, Mr. Chairman |
| 01:24:04 |
We're very glad that |
| 01:24:13 |
For the last two hours |
| 01:24:17 |
the entire world here |
| 01:24:22 |
The United States |
| 01:24:26 |
to the brink of catastrophe |
| 01:24:31 |
People of the whole world |
| 01:24:37 |
We are told again and again about some |
| 01:24:40 |
incontrovertible evidence |
| 01:24:47 |
But no evidence can be shown to us |
| 01:24:56 |
Perhaps your spy planes are so secret |
| 01:25:01 |
that you are simply incapable |
| 01:25:05 |
Some Planes! |
| 01:25:06 |
I make the call, Adlai is out |
| 01:25:08 |
McCloy goes in |
| 01:25:09 |
simply don't have such evidence |
| 01:25:19 |
Perhaps the United States of American |
| 01:25:28 |
The United States of America |
| 01:25:31 |
it has only falsifications |
| 01:25:35 |
John, get ready to |
| 01:25:40 |
The Chair recognizes |
| 01:25:42 |
The representative |
| 01:25:47 |
Well, let me say something to you |
| 01:25:51 |
We do have the evidence |
| 01:25:53 |
We do have it, and it is clear |
| 01:25:56 |
And let me say something else |
| 01:25:59 |
Those weapons |
| 01:26:02 |
You, the Soviet Union |
| 01:26:05 |
not the United States |
| 01:26:08 |
Mr. Zorin, I remind you that |
| 01:26:10 |
the other day you did not deny |
| 01:26:13 |
but today again |
| 01:26:13 |
if I heard you correctly |
| 01:26:17 |
you now say they do not exist |
| 01:26:25 |
Sir, let me ask you |
| 01:26:29 |
Come on, Adlai. Don't let him off |
| 01:26:31 |
Do you, Ambassador Zorin |
| 01:26:36 |
has placed and is placing medium |
| 01:26:36 |
and intermediate range missiles |
| 01:26:40 |
Yes or no? |
| 01:26:41 |
Don't wait for the translation |
| 01:26:43 |
Yeah |
| 01:26:49 |
I am not in the American courtroom |
| 01:26:55 |
and I do not wish to |
| 01:27:01 |
that a prosecutor |
| 01:27:06 |
You will get all the answers |
| 01:27:10 |
as this session progresses |
| 01:27:12 |
You are in the courtroom |
| 01:27:14 |
and you can answer yes or no |
| 01:27:17 |
You have denied they exist |
| 01:27:18 |
and I want to know |
| 01:27:22 |
Continue your statement |
| 01:27:28 |
You will get your answers |
| 01:27:35 |
I'm prepared to wait for my answer |
| 01:27:37 |
if that's you decision |
| 01:27:44 |
John, I'll get back to you |
| 01:27:48 |
to present the evidence in this room |
| 01:27:50 |
proving that the Soviet Union |
| 01:27:53 |
If you have decided |
| 01:28:02 |
the Chair recognizes |
| 01:28:06 |
I yield my time and the floor to the |
| 01:28:11 |
Ladies and gentlemen |
| 01:28:13 |
since it appears |
| 01:28:16 |
shall we have a look at |
| 01:28:20 |
May we have the presentation, please? |
| 01:28:23 |
Ladies and gentlemen |
| 01:28:27 |
Yeah |
| 01:28:31 |
So Adlai had it in him after all |
| 01:28:33 |
Zorin must not |
| 01:28:35 |
Somebody in their foreign |
| 01:28:38 |
we have October 14th |
| 01:28:39 |
There are at least |
| 01:28:45 |
The ship is called the Grozny |
| 01:28:48 |
We lost track of it |
| 01:28:51 |
We thought we gave it plenty of room |
| 01:28:55 |
We just reacquired it |
| 01:28:57 |
It crossed the line hours ago |
| 01:28:59 |
How the hell do you |
| 01:29:01 |
What the hell's going on over there? |
| 01:29:04 |
Friday, October 26th |
| 01:29:14 |
Hail them again |
| 01:29:17 |
I want you to try them again |
| 01:29:28 |
We are kidding ourselves |
| 01:29:29 |
The coordinates for the Pierce |
| 01:29:33 |
Pierce coordinates, 25 degrees |
| 01:29:35 |
78 degrees, 10 minutes west |
| 01:29:56 |
Not responding, Chief! |
| 01:29:58 |
Tell the Skipper |
| 01:30:00 |
They're not responding, sir |
| 01:30:02 |
General quarters! |
| 01:30:04 |
All hands man your battle stations! |
| 01:30:17 |
Very well. Load your guns |
| 01:30:20 |
Guns are loaded, sir |
| 01:30:22 |
What was that, Admiral? |
| 01:30:23 |
We've been hailing the Grozny |
| 01:30:27 |
The Grozny refuses to stop |
| 01:30:29 |
What are you doing? |
| 01:30:30 |
We're carrying out our mission |
| 01:30:33 |
We're very busy right now |
| 01:30:35 |
Admiral! I asked you a question |
| 01:30:39 |
We're going to |
| 01:30:42 |
The rules of engagement |
| 01:30:46 |
has approved and signed |
| 01:30:49 |
Yes |
| 01:30:51 |
You may proceed, Captain |
| 01:30:53 |
Cler your guns |
| 01:30:58 |
Dammit! |
| 01:30:59 |
Stop that firing! |
| 01:31:00 |
What? |
| 01:31:00 |
Stop that firing! |
| 01:31:02 |
Cease fire |
| 01:31:04 |
God help us |
| 01:31:08 |
That ship was firing starshells! |
| 01:31:10 |
Starshells -- Flares, Mr. Secretary! |
| 01:31:13 |
Goddammit, I've got a job to do here! |
| 01:31:15 |
You've been camped out up there |
| 01:31:18 |
You're exhausted |
| 01:31:21 |
You interfere with me and |
| 01:31:23 |
and I will not allow that! |
| 01:31:25 |
Starshells |
| 01:31:27 |
Get out of our way, Mr. Secretart! |
| 01:31:30 |
The navy's been running blockades... |
| 01:31:32 |
since the days of John Paul Jones! |
| 01:31:33 |
I believe the President |
| 01:31:35 |
no firing on ships |
| 01:31:38 |
With all due respect, Mr. Secretary |
| 01:31:40 |
we were not firing on that ship |
| 01:31:42 |
What was that? |
| 01:31:44 |
Firing on a ship |
| 01:31:46 |
We were not attacking that ship! |
| 01:31:48 |
We were firing over it! |
| 01:31:50 |
That was not the President's intention |
| 01:31:53 |
What if the Soviets |
| 01:31:55 |
What if they make the same mistake |
| 01:31:59 |
There will be no firing anything |
| 01:32:00 |
without my express permission! |
| 01:32:03 |
Is that understood, Admiral? |
| 01:32:07 |
Is it? |
| 01:32:10 |
Yes, sir |
| 01:32:11 |
And I will only |
| 01:32:13 |
when ordered to by the President! |
| 01:32:18 |
John Paul Jones! |
| 01:32:21 |
You don't understand a thing |
| 01:32:23 |
This is not a blockade! |
| 01:32:25 |
This is language! |
| 01:32:28 |
A new vocabulary, the likes of |
| 01:32:31 |
This is President Kennedy |
| 01:32:43 |
(Atlas Missile Launch Vandenberg, AFB) |
| 01:32:48 |
Who the hell |
| 01:32:50 |
Who do you think? |
| 01:32:51 |
God knows what this is |
| 01:32:53 |
Communicate with the Soviets? |
| 01:32:55 |
We can't communitcate |
| 01:32:57 |
and it's just across the goddam river |
| 01:32:59 |
LaMay must think you're afraid of him |
| 01:33:02 |
I'm not taking that biat |
| 01:33:04 |
The right move here is to move on |
| 01:33:08 |
Marcula! |
| 01:33:09 |
This is United States Destroyer |
| 01:33:17 |
This is point |
| 01:33:19 |
that there might be shooting |
| 01:33:23 |
with the possibility that invasion |
| 01:33:26 |
to assure that |
| 01:33:30 |
If invasion is undertaken |
| 01:33:32 |
that they would |
| 01:33:36 |
We have said |
| 01:33:37 |
we will retaliate |
| 01:33:42 |
Kenny |
| 01:33:43 |
What's this? |
| 01:33:45 |
Can anyone just walk in here now? |
| 01:33:46 |
Ken, don't worry |
| 01:33:48 |
If you're looking for a cup of sugar |
| 01:33:50 |
Kenny |
| 01:33:52 |
we need to see the President |
| 01:33:53 |
Something's happened |
| 01:33:57 |
I have lunch with him |
| 01:34:00 |
Way the talks, he acts like |
| 01:34:02 |
but he's never elaborated |
| 01:34:05 |
I've used him as a source |
| 01:34:07 |
The FBI has identified |
| 01:34:12 |
Soviet Rezident, the KGB equivalent |
| 01:34:15 |
He's their highest ranking spy |
| 01:34:18 |
And he knows John's a friend of mine |
| 01:34:20 |
All the trademarks of |
| 01:34:22 |
Yeah. Some back channel |
| 01:34:25 |
ABC News guy |
| 01:34:30 |
So they'll remove the missiles |
| 01:34:32 |
And we'll pledge not to |
| 01:34:35 |
or assist anyone who plans on doing so |
| 01:34:41 |
I think this may be |
| 01:34:45 |
The alternative, Mr. President |
| 01:34:46 |
is that is this could be a trap |
| 01:34:49 |
And how is that exactly? |
| 01:34:51 |
Dangle a settlement |
| 01:34:53 |
tie us down in negotiations |
| 01:34:56 |
Why else would they |
| 01:34:59 |
It's deniable |
| 01:35:00 |
The Soviets have done nothing |
| 01:35:01 |
This could just be more of the same |
| 01:35:03 |
That may be |
| 01:35:06 |
We're been burned by his usual players |
| 01:35:09 |
so he brings in an honest broker |
| 01:35:12 |
That may be what they want us to think |
| 01:35:14 |
The truth is |
| 01:35:15 |
we don't really know |
| 01:35:18 |
It could be Kruschev |
| 01:35:19 |
It could be some faction |
| 01:35:21 |
Or the KGB itself |
| 01:35:23 |
We just don't know |
| 01:35:25 |
By the way, Scali |
| 01:35:28 |
the secrecy codicils |
| 01:35:30 |
Sorry, John |
| 01:35:32 |
No Pulitzer |
| 01:35:35 |
Mr. President, we haven't much time |
| 01:35:37 |
I'm scheduled to meet with him again |
| 01:35:40 |
So it seems the question of the day is |
| 01:35:42 |
is the offer legitimate? |
| 01:35:45 |
And if it is |
| 01:35:46 |
we can't afford to ignore it |
| 01:35:50 |
So, John... |
| 01:35:53 |
We'll have instructions for you |
| 01:35:56 |
Thank you |
| 01:36:00 |
Thank you |
| 01:36:03 |
We don't have much time |
| 01:36:11 |
Kenny |
| 01:36:15 |
I want you to get over |
| 01:36:17 |
and go through everything |
| 01:36:20 |
I need your best call |
| 01:36:22 |
and is he speaking for Kruschev? |
| 01:36:24 |
So what we've got here is this guy |
| 01:36:25 |
Alexander Feklisov |
| 01:36:29 |
delclared Consul to the Soviet Embassy |
| 01:36:31 |
but in reality the KGB Papa Spy |
| 01:36:34 |
An illustrious tour of duty |
| 01:36:37 |
gets him on the Party fast track |
| 01:36:39 |
Various tours of duty in KGB |
| 01:36:44 |
He's an expert on us |
| 01:36:45 |
And that is all we got on Papa Spy |
| 01:36:51 |
How do you become the KGB top spy |
| 01:36:54 |
Gotta know someone |
| 01:36:57 |
You gotta know someone |
| 01:37:00 |
So politics is politics |
| 01:37:14 |
Walter, get me Kruschev's files |
| 01:37:17 |
Pass me that |
| 01:37:17 |
I wanna see their career |
| 01:37:22 |
We know they're not related, right? |
| 01:37:23 |
Right |
| 01:37:24 |
They're not from the same hometown |
| 01:37:26 |
They went to different schools |
| 01:37:28 |
Right |
| 01:37:30 |
So if they were gonna meet |
| 01:37:32 |
they should have met here |
| 01:37:34 |
I think they could've met |
| 01:37:35 |
They could not |
| 01:37:37 |
He was an engineer |
| 01:37:39 |
at the end of '41 |
| 01:37:42 |
That's it |
| 01:37:44 |
They know each other |
| 01:37:46 |
They're war buddies |
| 01:37:47 |
That's pretty thin, Kenny |
| 01:37:49 |
Real life usually is, Walter |
| 01:37:53 |
They know each other, Jack |
| 01:37:55 |
Kruschev and Fomin were war buddies |
| 01:37:57 |
You sure? |
| 01:37:58 |
Don't take it to court, but we've |
| 01:38:01 |
What's your instinct? |
| 01:38:07 |
My gut's telling me that |
| 01:38:08 |
Kruschev's tuming to a trusted |
| 01:38:13 |
Okay. We're going |
| 01:38:17 |
I've been instructed to tell you |
| 01:38:18 |
that the American government |
| 01:38:21 |
to an offer along the lines |
| 01:38:24 |
If such a solution were raised |
| 01:38:27 |
he would find a favorable reply |
| 01:38:31 |
So I understand you correctly |
| 01:38:34 |
if the missiles in Cuba |
| 01:38:38 |
returned to the Soviet Union |
| 01:38:40 |
and a guarantee was made |
| 01:38:42 |
the United States |
| 01:38:44 |
that it would never invade Cuba |
| 01:38:47 |
That is correct |
| 01:38:49 |
And this is from |
| 01:38:51 |
Yes. The Highest Authority |
| 01:38:54 |
There are two conditions |
| 01:38:56 |
The U. N. must be allowed to |
| 01:39:00 |
Of course the U. N. |
| 01:39:02 |
the re-deployment of forces |
| 01:39:05 |
I can't speak to that |
| 01:39:08 |
What's the second condition? |
| 01:39:10 |
Time is of the essence |
| 01:39:12 |
How much time? |
| 01:39:13 |
48 hours |
| 01:39:14 |
In 48 hours, there can be no deals |
| 01:39:21 |
I'll see what I can do |
| 01:39:39 |
I think it's very difficult |
| 01:39:41 |
It looks to me like |
| 01:39:44 |
It's a big "if", Bobby |
| 01:39:45 |
It's ten pages of sentimental fluff |
| 01:39:47 |
but he's saying it right here |
| 01:39:49 |
He'll remove the missiles |
| 01:39:52 |
Mr. President, our early analysis |
| 01:39:55 |
was written by Kruschev himself |
| 01:39:57 |
It shows no signs of being polished |
| 01:39:59 |
It probably wasn't |
| 01:40:01 |
as they wouldn't |
| 01:40:06 |
The analysts say it was written |
| 01:40:11 |
Glad to know we're not alone |
| 01:40:16 |
It never was my intention |
| 01:40:19 |
till they put the missiles in there |
| 01:40:23 |
Gentlemen, I think we should |
| 01:41:00 |
Hi |
| 01:41:01 |
Hi |
| 01:41:03 |
You look old, O'Donnell |
| 01:41:06 |
You don't |
| 01:41:08 |
It's 2:30 in the morning |
| 01:41:14 |
We got a back-channel communication |
| 01:41:17 |
form Kruschev this evening |
| 01:41:21 |
He confirmed it |
| 01:41:23 |
Thank God |
| 01:41:25 |
Jack kicked us out of his house |
| 01:41:29 |
Darn it |
| 01:41:31 |
For a second there |
| 01:41:34 |
No such luck |
| 01:41:42 |
Driving home |
| 01:41:45 |
there was something |
| 01:41:55 |
Finish that thought |
| 01:42:01 |
Yes? |
| 01:42:02 |
Kenny, It's Bob |
| 01:42:03 |
We're getting another letter |
| 01:42:05 |
I have a bad feeling |
| 01:42:06 |
I'll be right there |
| 01:42:14 |
You're beautiful |
| 01:42:22 |
It looks like |
| 01:42:24 |
and they were just stalling for time |
| 01:42:33 |
It gets worse |
| 01:42:36 |
Gentlemen |
| 01:42:37 |
my specialists are in agreement |
| 01:42:39 |
This morning's letter is not Kruschev |
| 01:42:41 |
The evidence supports |
| 01:42:43 |
There's been a coup |
| 01:42:49 |
Dean? |
| 01:42:50 |
It does suggest he's been co-opted |
| 01:42:54 |
Which at the end of the day |
| 01:42:56 |
A puppet Kruschev |
| 01:42:57 |
and a hard-line Soviet government |
| 01:43:00 |
No deal. And the missiles |
| 01:43:03 |
What if the Soviets have no intention |
| 01:43:06 |
The tomorrow |
| 01:43:08 |
Meanwhile |
| 01:43:11 |
and they're completing work |
| 01:43:14 |
Sir, I think we have to issue |
| 01:43:18 |
Mr. President |
| 01:43:19 |
This morning's photography is in |
| 01:43:22 |
It appears the Soviet have commenced a |
| 01:43:26 |
The first missiles |
| 01:43:29 |
We expect they'll all be operational |
| 01:43:32 |
Then we're out of time |
| 01:43:33 |
We have to go in |
| 01:43:34 |
That may not be |
| 01:43:36 |
We have confirmation |
| 01:43:40 |
battlefield nuclear weapons to Cuba |
| 01:43:41 |
FROGS, we call them |
| 01:43:42 |
Short- range tactical nukes |
| 01:43:44 |
We don't know whether |
| 01:43:47 |
to their local commanders |
| 01:43:50 |
But the good news is |
| 01:43:53 |
we know where the FROGS are |
| 01:43:57 |
But the longer we wait |
| 01:44:16 |
We have no choice |
| 01:44:22 |
General, issue orders to our forces |
| 01:44:24 |
to be prepared to execute |
| 01:44:28 |
and the follow-on invasion |
| 01:44:32 |
I'll need the official release orders |
| 01:44:35 |
Understood, sir |
| 01:44:37 |
We need to step up our over flights |
| 01:44:39 |
finalize our pilots' target folders |
| 01:44:44 |
Permission granted |
| 01:44:45 |
Yes, sir |
| 01:44:57 |
Gentlemen |
| 01:44:58 |
if anybody's got any great ideas |
| 01:45:09 |
Major Anderson |
| 01:45:11 |
Thank you |
| 01:45:14 |
Gimme just a second here, guys |
| 01:45:19 |
This is Major Anderson |
| 01:45:22 |
Hello? Anyone there? |
| 01:45:24 |
Major? |
| 01:45:25 |
Yes, sir |
| 01:45:26 |
My name's Kenneth O'Donnell |
| 01:45:31 |
Major, a few days ago |
| 01:45:33 |
help him keep control of |
| 01:45:36 |
I've been brow-beating pilots |
| 01:45:42 |
to make sure you don't get us here |
| 01:45:45 |
But you know what? |
| 01:45:48 |
We're pretty damn good ourselves |
| 01:45:52 |
So instead of riding your ass |
| 01:45:55 |
I'm just gonna tell you |
| 01:45:56 |
and let you figure out |
| 01:45:58 |
Go ahead, sir |
| 01:46:00 |
Last night, it looked like |
| 01:46:03 |
we were gonna cut a deal |
| 01:46:06 |
Today the Soviets are reneging |
| 01:46:09 |
We're gonna try |
| 01:46:11 |
but a lot of things |
| 01:46:15 |
It's making everyone nervous |
| 01:46:18 |
If more things go wrong |
| 01:46:20 |
and it will be very hard |
| 01:46:25 |
I'm not sure |
| 01:46:28 |
Just my standard line |
| 01:46:29 |
I've been repeating |
| 01:46:34 |
Don't get shot down |
| 01:46:37 |
Beyond that |
| 01:46:39 |
whatever else you can do to help us |
| 01:46:41 |
Sir |
| 01:46:46 |
When you're at 72, 000 feet |
| 01:46:51 |
Is your Oxygen mix right? |
| 01:46:55 |
Are you leaving a contrail? |
| 01:46:56 |
Those million things |
| 01:46:59 |
But... |
| 01:47:02 |
when you realize that |
| 01:47:04 |
there's a kind of peace |
| 01:47:06 |
If you're a good man |
| 01:47:09 |
that is all you can ask for |
| 01:47:11 |
And with the grace of God |
| 01:47:14 |
Are you a religious man? |
| 01:47:16 |
I am |
| 01:47:20 |
Good |
| 01:49:40 |
The plane is missing, Kenny |
| 01:49:42 |
We are presuming the pilot is dead |
| 01:49:57 |
It's hard to believe with the Soviet |
| 01:50:01 |
that this could have been |
| 01:50:03 |
The question is, does this |
| 01:50:05 |
a definitive intentional escalation |
| 01:50:09 |
Mr. President |
| 01:50:10 |
taken with the events |
| 01:50:13 |
I believe |
| 01:50:15 |
We're now dealing with |
| 01:50:18 |
perhaps with Kruschev |
| 01:50:20 |
You okay? |
| 01:50:21 |
Yeah |
| 01:50:23 |
I'm fine |
| 01:50:26 |
Mr. President |
| 01:50:28 |
What now? |
| 01:50:29 |
A U-2 on a routine |
| 01:50:32 |
and penetrated |
| 01:50:34 |
Oh, goddammit |
| 01:50:35 |
The Soviets scrambled MIG's in pursuit |
| 01:50:38 |
It got out okay |
| 01:50:39 |
Somebody forgot to cancel the mission |
| 01:50:40 |
There's always some sonofabitch |
| 01:50:43 |
This is just what we need |
| 01:50:45 |
the Soviets thinking |
| 01:50:51 |
Anybody else? |
| 01:50:53 |
Mr. President |
| 01:50:54 |
our pilots are in danger |
| 01:50:56 |
We must order punitive air strikes |
| 01:51:00 |
that shot down Major Anderson |
| 01:51:18 |
No |
| 01:51:20 |
I want confirmation |
| 01:51:23 |
Mr. President |
| 01:51:23 |
Good idea, Mr. President |
| 01:51:28 |
Be safer for my boys |
| 01:51:31 |
when we get the rest of the bastards |
| 01:53:20 |
That's the quarter! |
| 01:53:28 |
Hey, Dad |
| 01:53:28 |
Hey, Sport |
| 01:53:29 |
You winning? |
| 01:53:31 |
Yeah |
| 01:53:33 |
Is everything gonna be okay, Dad? |
| 01:53:37 |
Everything's gonna be fine, Kenny |
| 01:53:40 |
I guess |
| 01:53:47 |
I... |
| 01:53:53 |
Let's got! Second quarter! |
| 01:53:59 |
It's okay. Go on back to your game |
| 01:54:01 |
Alright. I'll see you around, Dad |
| 01:54:34 |
Dammit! |
| 01:54:38 |
Jesus, Mary and Joseph... |
| 01:54:39 |
Take off for two hours |
| 01:54:41 |
I told you how stupid it was |
| 01:54:43 |
Now you're gonna do it for real? |
| 01:54:45 |
The Jupiters are obsolete, Kenny |
| 01:54:46 |
They were supposed to |
| 01:54:48 |
I know they're obsolete |
| 01:54:51 |
The point is you trade our missiles |
| 01:54:54 |
they're gonna force us into |
| 01:54:57 |
a couple of months from now |
| 01:55:00 |
like Berlin |
| 01:55:01 |
And we do end up in a war |
| 01:55:04 |
Not to mention that |
| 01:55:05 |
this administration |
| 01:55:07 |
I don't care if this administration |
| 01:55:10 |
We don't do a deal tonight |
| 01:55:12 |
It's the wrong move, Bobby |
| 01:55:16 |
Everyone on this so-called EXCOM's |
| 01:55:20 |
Whose side are you on now, Ken? |
| 01:55:23 |
Oh, goddammit |
| 01:55:27 |
What if there |
| 01:55:31 |
What if it's you two? |
| 01:55:33 |
What is that supposed to mean? |
| 01:55:34 |
What if it was you two |
| 01:55:36 |
who invited that second letter by |
| 01:55:46 |
Mr. President |
| 01:55:48 |
and whatever response we send |
| 01:55:50 |
it'll take several hours |
| 01:55:52 |
and be delievered to the Kremlin |
| 01:55:55 |
So early tomorrow morning |
| 01:55:57 |
Kruschev could respond |
| 01:56:00 |
Which one of you geniuses |
| 01:56:03 |
explain it to the world |
| 01:56:06 |
So what are we gonna say |
| 01:56:09 |
about this offer? |
| 01:56:11 |
Well, it depends, doesn't it? |
| 01:56:12 |
Do we really believe |
| 01:56:16 |
What if Fomin wasn't a ploy? |
| 01:56:18 |
What if his message was real? |
| 01:56:20 |
What if what is happening |
| 01:56:24 |
Accidents like them |
| 01:56:28 |
Yes. Accidents like that |
| 01:56:30 |
And the accidents are making the |
| 01:56:33 |
and the whole situation |
| 01:56:37 |
"The Gun of August" |
| 01:56:38 |
That's right |
| 01:56:39 |
So we just reject the second letter? |
| 01:56:42 |
No |
| 01:56:44 |
We don't... |
| 01:56:45 |
reject it |
| 01:56:46 |
We accept the first letter |
| 01:56:48 |
and pretend |
| 01:56:52 |
It won't work |
| 01:56:54 |
Look, he made an offer. So I... |
| 01:56:56 |
The same wishful thinking, Bobby |
| 01:56:58 |
while the Soviets were sneaking |
| 01:57:02 |
Ignore the second letter |
| 01:57:03 |
agree to the conditions of the first |
| 01:57:05 |
There is no reason to believe |
| 01:57:07 |
Max is right. Why will they accept it? |
| 01:57:09 |
It can work |
| 01:57:10 |
If they believe |
| 01:57:14 |
We've got time for one more round |
| 01:57:17 |
First airstrikes start in 28 hours |
| 01:57:19 |
But we have to make them agree to it |
| 01:57:21 |
So how do we do that? |
| 01:57:22 |
We give them something |
| 01:57:23 |
We tell them |
| 01:57:26 |
Hang on |
| 01:57:27 |
But we don that six months from now |
| 01:57:30 |
We also tell them |
| 01:57:33 |
we'll deny it |
| 01:57:34 |
Right we deny it. The deal's off |
| 01:57:35 |
And we do it under the table |
| 01:57:38 |
It's transparent, Kenny |
| 01:57:40 |
Six months from now |
| 01:57:43 |
We'll deal with it then |
| 01:57:44 |
At the least, it'll expulse |
| 01:57:47 |
We'll know who we're up against |
| 01:57:49 |
I've been thinking about Kruschev |
| 01:57:50 |
And if this is a move to appease |
| 01:57:53 |
it may be just the bone he needs to |
| 01:57:57 |
Whoever carries the message |
| 01:58:00 |
If we come across as too soft |
| 01:58:03 |
Too hard, they'll be cornered |
| 01:58:06 |
All of you do understand |
| 01:58:08 |
that there is an enormous risk |
| 01:58:11 |
Because if they turn us down |
| 01:58:14 |
that we're coming in on Monday morning |
| 01:58:15 |
They'll strike first |
| 01:58:16 |
Yes |
| 01:58:20 |
Bobby |
| 01:58:22 |
You know Dobrynin best |
| 01:58:24 |
Yeah |
| 01:58:26 |
Then you're it |
| 01:58:29 |
Ted, I want you |
| 01:58:32 |
Bobby, you gotta go in there |
| 01:58:35 |
that we have to |
| 01:58:37 |
Because Monday we go to war |
| 01:58:56 |
What do you want, a goodbye kiss? |
| 01:59:01 |
Listen |
| 01:59:03 |
I'll take care of him |
| 01:59:04 |
Go on inside, grab some coffee |
| 01:59:06 |
Are you sure? |
| 01:59:07 |
Sure |
| 01:59:08 |
What's the matter with you? |
| 01:59:10 |
Forget how to open a car door? |
| 01:59:14 |
Jesus! |
| 01:59:16 |
You rich people |
| 01:59:26 |
I promised the girls |
| 01:59:32 |
Make sure you keep that date |
| 01:59:37 |
We gave up so much to get here |
| 01:59:42 |
Sometimes I think |
| 01:59:44 |
I don't know about you |
| 01:59:46 |
but I'm in it for the money |
| 01:59:54 |
We knew we could do a better job |
| 01:59:58 |
Remember? |
| 02:00:00 |
You know, I... |
| 02:00:02 |
I hate being called the brilliant one |
| 02:00:07 |
The ruthless one |
| 02:00:10 |
The guy everybody's afraid of |
| 02:00:12 |
I hate it |
| 02:00:15 |
I'm not so smart |
| 02:00:18 |
I'm not so ruthless |
| 02:00:20 |
Well, you're right |
| 02:00:32 |
I don't know if I can do this |
| 02:00:36 |
There's nobody else I'd rather |
| 02:00:38 |
Nobody else I trust |
| 02:00:42 |
Helen and the kids' lives to |
| 02:00:46 |
Take a left |
| 02:01:07 |
You smell that? |
| 02:01:09 |
They're burning their documents |
| 02:01:12 |
They think we're going to war |
| 02:01:16 |
God help us, Ken |
| 02:01:59 |
Sir, Ambassador Dobrynin is here |
| 02:02:13 |
I'll whistle up some luck for you |
| 02:02:24 |
Mr. Ambassador |
| 02:02:25 |
Thank you for coming |
| 02:03:17 |
Who are you? |
| 02:03:29 |
The friend |
| 02:03:51 |
My brother, my friends |
| 02:03:54 |
cannot and will not permit |
| 02:03:58 |
I promise you that |
| 02:03:59 |
Then I fear our two nations |
| 02:04:03 |
And I fear where war will lead us |
| 02:04:05 |
If the missiles |
| 02:04:08 |
if you remove them |
| 02:04:13 |
At this moment, the President |
| 02:04:15 |
Secretary Kruschev's letter |
| 02:04:18 |
If the Soviet Union |
| 02:04:20 |
removes the missiles |
| 02:04:23 |
the United States |
| 02:04:27 |
or aid others in that enterprise |
| 02:04:29 |
If you Jupiter missiles in Turkey |
| 02:04:32 |
such an accommodation could be reached |
| 02:04:35 |
That's not possible |
| 02:04:40 |
The United States cannot agree |
| 02:04:44 |
Any belief to the contrary |
| 02:04:48 |
You want war? |
| 02:05:00 |
However |
| 02:05:01 |
While there can be no quid pro |
| 02:05:05 |
the United States |
| 02:05:09 |
Our Jupiter missiles in Turkey |
| 02:05:12 |
and have been scheduled |
| 02:05:15 |
This withdrawal should take place |
| 02:05:20 |
Of course, any public disclosure |
| 02:05:22 |
would negate the deal and produce... |
| 02:05:26 |
the most stringent denials |
| 02:05:28 |
This private assurance... |
| 02:05:30 |
represents the word |
| 02:05:33 |
Yes |
| 02:05:35 |
And it can be relayed |
| 02:05:38 |
to the top circles of my government? |
| 02:05:40 |
Our pledge can be relayed to |
| 02:05:44 |
Secretary Kruschev sees fit to satisfy |
| 02:05:46 |
With the caveat that... |
| 02:05:47 |
it is not to be made public |
| 02:05:55 |
And we must have an answer tomorrow |
| 02:05:59 |
I cannot stress this point enough |
| 02:06:02 |
Tomorrow? |
| 02:06:05 |
Tomorrow |
| 02:06:08 |
Then you must excuse me |
| 02:06:10 |
the substance of our discussion |
| 02:06:14 |
Of course |
| 02:06:17 |
We've heard stories that |
| 02:06:23 |
You are a good man |
| 02:06:25 |
Your brother is a good man |
| 02:06:26 |
I assure you there are other good men |
| 02:06:29 |
Let us hope the will of good men |
| 02:06:31 |
the terrible strength of this thing |
| 02:07:16 |
What's going to happen? |
| 02:07:21 |
If the sun comes up tomorrow |
| 02:07:24 |
it is only because of men of good will |
| 02:07:30 |
And that's... |
| 02:07:32 |
all there is between us and the Devil |
| 02:08:08 |
This is Radio Moscow |
| 02:08:11 |
Premier Kruschev... |
| 02:08:12 |
has sent a message |
| 02:08:16 |
This message re-emphasizes |
| 02:08:19 |
the need for urgent measures |
| 02:08:23 |
and to preserve world peace |
| 02:08:25 |
In addition to |
| 02:08:28 |
to stop construction work |
| 02:08:31 |
the Soviet government has ordered |
| 02:08:35 |
as well as their crating |
| 02:08:50 |
Is everybody ready for church? |
| 02:09:00 |
It's a beautiful morning |
| 02:09:06 |
Pass the butter up to Dad |
| 02:09:13 |
Dad, you want your paper? |
| 02:09:19 |
Dad, what's wrong? |
| 02:09:25 |
The sun came up |
| 02:09:29 |
Every day the sun comes up |
| 02:09:42 |
What does it say, Dad? |
| 02:09:45 |
What's wrong with Daddy? |
| 02:10:22 |
This is the foreign policy trophy |
| 02:10:29 |
Mr. President |
| 02:10:30 |
great job |
| 02:10:31 |
Hold it |
| 02:10:33 |
Well, Mr. President |
| 02:10:35 |
I think I can speak for everyone here |
| 02:10:38 |
when I say bring on those mid-terms |
| 02:10:40 |
there's no stopping us now |
| 02:10:44 |
Four more years! All right! |
| 02:10:46 |
You know, it's been a long two weeks |
| 02:10:49 |
Whatever |
| 02:10:50 |
And I'd like to thank you all |
| 02:10:53 |
I just don't think |
| 02:10:59 |
It was just as much a victory |
| 02:11:03 |
Hear hear! |
| 02:11:05 |
Enjoy your morning |
| 02:11:06 |
Thank you, Mr. President |
| 02:11:10 |
Get some rest, Mr. President |
| 02:11:13 |
We've got a lot of new clout right now |
| 02:11:15 |
We can run the table on Kruschev |
| 02:11:17 |
the Middle East and Southeast Asia |
| 02:11:18 |
You're right |
| 02:11:31 |
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Anderson |
| 02:11:34 |
I was deeply shocked |
| 02:11:38 |
in an operational mission on Saturday |
| 02:11:45 |
October 27th, 1962 |
| 02:11:47 |
Your son rendered distinguished |
| 02:11:48 |
throughout his career |
| 02:11:51 |
He was admired |
| 02:11:55 |
and respected for his courage |
| 02:11:57 |
and his professional skill |
| 02:12:00 |
His tragic loss will be deeply felt |
| 02:12:04 |
and a grateful nation |
| 02:12:27 |
Ken! We're out here |
| 02:12:48 |
What kind of a peace do we seek? |
| 02:12:51 |
I am talking about genuine peace |
| 02:12:53 |
The kind of peace that |
| 02:12:56 |
Not merely peace in our time |
| 02:12:59 |
but peace in all time |
| 02:13:01 |
Our problems are man-made |
| 02:13:03 |
therefor they can be solved by man |
| 02:13:06 |
For in the final analysis |
| 02:13:08 |
our most basic common link |
| 02:13:10 |
is that we all |
| 02:13:14 |
We all breathe the same air |
| 02:13:17 |
We all cherish our children's futures |
| 02:13:19 |
and we are all mortal |
