1
00:00:27,561 --> 00:00:30,331
[Reagan] He said to his wife,
"What do you mean change the baby?
2
00:00:30,498 --> 00:00:33,301
I'm a ball player. That's
not my line of work."
3
00:00:33,467 --> 00:00:37,671
And she turned around with her hands
on her hips and she communicated.
4
00:00:37,838 --> 00:00:39,940
- [crowd laughs]
- She said, "Look, Buster,
5
00:00:40,108 --> 00:00:41,842
you lay the diaper
out like a diamond.
6
00:00:42,009 --> 00:00:43,944
You put second
base on home plate.
7
00:00:44,112 --> 00:00:46,147
Put the baby's bottom
on the pitcher's mound.
8
00:00:46,314 --> 00:00:48,882
Hook up first and third,
slide home underneath.
9
00:00:49,049 --> 00:00:51,719
And if it starts to rain,
the game ain't called.
10
00:00:51,852 --> 00:00:53,521
You start all over again."
11
00:00:53,654 --> 00:00:56,124
[crowd laughing, applauding]
12
00:00:56,290 --> 00:00:57,925
So I'm going to communicate.
13
00:00:59,026 --> 00:01:02,863
Now, I know that we can't
make things right overnight,
14
00:01:03,030 --> 00:01:06,100
but we will make them right.
15
00:01:06,234 --> 00:01:09,103
Our destiny is not our fate.
16
00:01:09,237 --> 00:01:11,905
It is our choice.
17
00:01:12,039 --> 00:01:16,377
You and your forbears
help build this nation.
18
00:01:16,510 --> 00:01:19,380
- [camera shutter clicking]
- Now, help us rebuild it.
19
00:01:20,548 --> 00:01:21,782
Thank you very much.
20
00:01:23,984 --> 00:01:25,553
[camera shutter clicking]
21
00:01:34,528 --> 00:01:35,963
Thank you, Mr. President.
22
00:01:36,096 --> 00:01:37,365
Good job, Mr. President.
23
00:01:39,433 --> 00:01:40,634
Rawhide's on the move.
24
00:01:42,403 --> 00:01:43,563
[officer on radio] All clear.
25
00:01:43,604 --> 00:01:45,072
Went great, sir.
26
00:01:45,206 --> 00:01:47,107
Boy, a trip down memory lane.
27
00:01:47,241 --> 00:01:50,144
Haven't seen him in
decades, Roy, with AFL-CIO.
28
00:01:50,278 --> 00:01:54,615
Oh, he said the two of you fought with
a guy in Hollywood, named Sorrell.
29
00:01:54,748 --> 00:01:56,817
Sorrell. Herb Sorrell.
30
00:01:56,950 --> 00:01:59,119
Yes, he was working
for the Soviets,
31
00:01:59,253 --> 00:02:01,889
trying to infiltrate
Hollywood through the unions.
32
00:02:02,790 --> 00:02:05,459
Roy and I used to call him
"sore-as-hell" after that.
33
00:02:05,593 --> 00:02:07,433
- What's next on the agenda?
- [Brady chuckles]
34
00:02:07,561 --> 00:02:09,096
[indistinct radio chatter]
35
00:02:09,230 --> 00:02:10,907
- [camera shutter clicking]
- [crowd shouting]
36
00:02:10,931 --> 00:02:12,209
[officer on radio] Rawhide
coming through the south exit.
37
00:02:12,233 --> 00:02:13,434
Prepare the chopper...
38
00:02:14,435 --> 00:02:16,770
[crowd shouting]
39
00:02:16,937 --> 00:02:18,639
[Reagan] My mother used to say,
40
00:02:18,806 --> 00:02:21,875
"Everything in life
happens for a reason,
41
00:02:22,042 --> 00:02:24,745
even the most
disheartening setbacks.
42
00:02:24,912 --> 00:02:27,948
And in the end, everything,
43
00:02:28,115 --> 00:02:31,051
even seemingly
random twists of fate
44
00:02:31,219 --> 00:02:33,854
is all a part of
the divine plan."
45
00:02:33,987 --> 00:02:35,189
[gunshot]
46
00:02:36,624 --> 00:02:38,526
[two gunshots]
47
00:02:40,261 --> 00:02:42,029
[gunshot lands]
48
00:02:42,162 --> 00:02:46,267
[crowd shouting, screaming]
49
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,636
[tense music playing]
50
00:02:51,138 --> 00:02:52,706
- [bleep]
- [indistinct shouting]
51
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,208
[officer] Get him
out! Get him out!
52
00:02:57,445 --> 00:02:59,747
Details are very
sketchy at this moment.
53
00:02:59,913 --> 00:03:02,850
We don't know precisely what
happened. We don't know the sequence.
54
00:03:03,016 --> 00:03:05,253
First of all, the
president is safe.
55
00:03:05,419 --> 00:03:07,154
That is just as...
56
00:03:07,321 --> 00:03:08,932
- Pardon me please.
- [staff] Bob Berkowitz.
57
00:03:08,956 --> 00:03:09,990
Hello, Bob?
58
00:03:13,327 --> 00:03:15,996
I'll wait for somebody in the back
room to come up here and tell us.
59
00:03:16,163 --> 00:03:19,467
We had been reporting to you that
the president was not injured.
60
00:03:19,633 --> 00:03:22,503
The White House has confirmed
now just in the last few minutes
61
00:03:22,670 --> 00:03:25,205
that President Reagan
has indeed been shot.
62
00:03:25,373 --> 00:03:27,741
- He isn't communicating.
- [camera shutter clicking]
63
00:03:27,908 --> 00:03:29,819
- [female reporter] Larry, can we ask you a question?
- [male reporter] Larry,
64
00:03:29,843 --> 00:03:31,988
is there any evidence the assassin
was working for the Soviets?
65
00:03:32,012 --> 00:03:34,181
- [female reporter] Larry...
- I can't say. That's it.
66
00:03:34,348 --> 00:03:35,749
We have gotten confirm...
67
00:03:38,452 --> 00:03:41,389
[tense music playing]
68
00:03:45,092 --> 00:03:47,861
[reporter] Communists have
seized power by force in Russia.
69
00:03:48,028 --> 00:03:52,099
[revolutionary] Anyone standing in
the way of revolution will be removed.
70
00:03:56,570 --> 00:04:00,207
[Churchill] An Iron Curtain has
descended across the continent.
71
00:04:02,876 --> 00:04:07,748
[Dick] The seeds of totalitarian
regimes are nurtured by misery and war.
72
00:04:07,915 --> 00:04:12,185
They spread and go on the evil
side of poverty and strife.
73
00:04:12,353 --> 00:04:16,324
They reach their full growth when
the hope of a better life has died.
74
00:04:16,490 --> 00:04:20,127
We must keep that hope alive!
75
00:04:20,294 --> 00:04:22,730
[reporter 1] The world witnessed
a new level of destruction
76
00:04:22,896 --> 00:04:24,332
in the first atomic bomb.
77
00:04:24,498 --> 00:04:26,099
This show of atomic force
78
00:04:26,266 --> 00:04:28,068
is only a warning
of things to come.
79
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,610
[reporter 2] Soviet Union has
by violence and intimidation
80
00:04:36,777 --> 00:04:40,748
bordered the rights of Poland,
Ukraine, and Czechoslovakia
81
00:04:40,914 --> 00:04:44,184
holding millions in a
prison unable to escape.
82
00:04:44,352 --> 00:04:46,854
[reporter 3] The world is
focused today on Berlin
83
00:04:47,020 --> 00:04:48,689
where East and West face off.
84
00:04:48,856 --> 00:04:50,858
The Soviet regime looks
to close its border
85
00:04:51,024 --> 00:04:52,760
in East Germany
against those fleeing
86
00:04:52,926 --> 00:04:54,428
the totalitarian crackdown.
87
00:04:57,297 --> 00:04:58,832
[reporter 2] Castro's
takeover of Cuba
88
00:04:58,966 --> 00:05:00,701
secures the Soviets a base
89
00:05:00,868 --> 00:05:03,170
for nuclear aggression
aimed at the United States.
90
00:05:14,815 --> 00:05:17,184
[Kennedy] Now, it is time
for this nation to take
91
00:05:17,317 --> 00:05:20,554
a clearly leading role
in space achievement,
92
00:05:20,721 --> 00:05:24,425
which in many ways may hold
the key to our future on Earth.
93
00:05:29,997 --> 00:05:31,298
[whooshing]
94
00:05:52,420 --> 00:05:53,954
[car horns honking]
95
00:05:54,087 --> 00:05:57,024
[phone ringing]
96
00:05:57,157 --> 00:05:58,392
[receiver thuds]
97
00:06:00,293 --> 00:06:02,563
[Russian official] Do you
still worry they are listening?
98
00:06:02,730 --> 00:06:07,601
[Viktor] They stopped listening
to me a long time ago.
99
00:06:07,768 --> 00:06:10,638
[Russian officia] Not me.
I'm sending him to see you.
100
00:06:10,804 --> 00:06:13,574
[Viktor] This is no longer
a fight for old men.
101
00:06:13,741 --> 00:06:16,944
[Russian official] Perhaps not, but
he's our youngest cabinet member
102
00:06:17,110 --> 00:06:19,447
being groomed to be
the next president.
103
00:06:19,613 --> 00:06:21,014
He has little experience,
104
00:06:21,181 --> 00:06:23,917
but some of us believe he
can be the next leader.
105
00:06:24,852 --> 00:06:28,188
However, he will need to
learn from our mistakes.
106
00:06:28,355 --> 00:06:30,090
[Viktor] You mean my mistakes?
107
00:06:31,358 --> 00:06:33,537
[Russian official] Ah, try to
look at this as an opportunity
108
00:06:33,561 --> 00:06:35,463
to make things right.
109
00:06:35,629 --> 00:06:38,466
[Viktor] Does anyone else
know he's coming to see me?
110
00:06:38,632 --> 00:06:40,534
[Russian official]
Let's hope not.
111
00:06:45,539 --> 00:06:46,607
[knock on door]
112
00:06:46,740 --> 00:06:48,609
[footsteps approaching]
113
00:06:48,742 --> 00:06:51,044
- [doorknob clicks]
- [door creaks]
114
00:06:51,178 --> 00:06:52,546
- Hello.
- Hello.
115
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,181
I'm here to see
Viktor Petrovich.
116
00:06:55,248 --> 00:06:56,349
Please come in.
117
00:06:57,017 --> 00:06:58,017
Thank you.
118
00:06:58,085 --> 00:07:00,053
[dog barking in distance]
119
00:07:09,497 --> 00:07:11,264
Thank you for
seeing me, Comrade.
120
00:07:11,398 --> 00:07:12,900
"Comrade"?
121
00:07:13,033 --> 00:07:15,469
We don't use that
term much any longer.
122
00:07:15,603 --> 00:07:16,770
Offered in respect.
123
00:07:17,771 --> 00:07:20,741
For you, and a time that
deserves equal respect.
124
00:07:20,874 --> 00:07:22,442
1981.
125
00:07:22,576 --> 00:07:23,576
Oh.
126
00:07:25,012 --> 00:07:26,012
Special.
127
00:07:27,414 --> 00:07:28,415
[mutters]
128
00:07:30,017 --> 00:07:31,017
So...
129
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,590
what brings the rising
star of Mother Russia
130
00:07:36,724 --> 00:07:38,792
to visit with a... an old spy?
131
00:07:38,926 --> 00:07:39,926
[chuckles]
132
00:07:41,261 --> 00:07:43,430
To ask just one question of you.
133
00:07:46,934 --> 00:07:47,934
Why?
134
00:07:50,938 --> 00:07:53,173
- "Why"?
- If I'm about to regain
135
00:07:53,306 --> 00:07:56,610
our rightful place in
this world, I must know
136
00:07:56,744 --> 00:07:59,747
why we failed 30 years ago.
137
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:02,015
Why we gave up
without even a fight?
138
00:08:03,651 --> 00:08:08,856
Why did we allow ourselves to become a
mere shadow of our once great nation?
139
00:08:08,989 --> 00:08:10,423
Wiser men than I...
140
00:08:11,391 --> 00:08:13,761
have already answered that.
141
00:08:13,894 --> 00:08:15,629
Not to my satisfaction.
142
00:08:16,964 --> 00:08:19,533
What makes you think
I am more capable?
143
00:08:19,667 --> 00:08:21,268
Because of who you are, Comrade.
144
00:08:21,401 --> 00:08:23,470
[tense music sting]
145
00:08:23,604 --> 00:08:24,772
What you did.
146
00:08:26,607 --> 00:08:27,775
And you were there.
147
00:08:31,078 --> 00:08:32,312
Yes, I was there.
148
00:08:34,682 --> 00:08:35,783
I was there.
149
00:08:45,158 --> 00:08:47,527
[tense music playing]
150
00:08:52,465 --> 00:08:54,467
[Viktor] My official
title was Analyst
151
00:08:54,635 --> 00:08:57,470
at the Committee
for State Security,
152
00:08:57,605 --> 00:08:59,506
our beloved KGB.
153
00:08:59,673 --> 00:09:02,475
But I was a psychologist
154
00:09:02,643 --> 00:09:05,979
profiling those who could
become threats to our nation,
155
00:09:06,146 --> 00:09:08,716
sometimes decades away.
156
00:09:12,519 --> 00:09:14,521
[Brezhnev coughing]
157
00:09:14,655 --> 00:09:16,523
- Mm, ah.
- [thuds]
158
00:09:16,690 --> 00:09:18,826
[Viktor] Some say
I was responsible
159
00:09:18,992 --> 00:09:21,595
- for the fall of the Soviet Union.
- [door closes]
160
00:09:21,729 --> 00:09:23,864
Let's rest this
little stagnation.
161
00:09:24,998 --> 00:09:27,567
Yes? What is it, Comrade?
162
00:09:29,637 --> 00:09:30,637
[Viktor] The actor.
163
00:09:31,839 --> 00:09:35,275
[paper rustling]
164
00:09:44,317 --> 00:09:45,619
He will win.
165
00:09:45,753 --> 00:09:48,555
I've been warning about
this man for many years.
166
00:09:50,423 --> 00:09:51,524
Prepare a file.
167
00:09:52,525 --> 00:09:54,461
Uh... Comrade Secretary,
168
00:09:54,594 --> 00:09:58,866
I have prepared dozens
of these documents.
169
00:10:01,869 --> 00:10:04,537
Yes, and I appreciate that,
170
00:10:05,372 --> 00:10:07,074
Comrade Petrovich.
171
00:10:08,441 --> 00:10:10,277
But go prepare another.
172
00:10:13,413 --> 00:10:14,414
Of course.
173
00:10:22,355 --> 00:10:24,758
[door opens, closes]
174
00:10:24,925 --> 00:10:26,994
[Viktor] Yes, I was there.
175
00:10:30,964 --> 00:10:33,967
When I began as analyst,
we had one goal:
176
00:10:34,134 --> 00:10:37,671
spreading communism to
every corner of the globe.
177
00:10:37,805 --> 00:10:39,707
[speaking Russian]
178
00:10:39,873 --> 00:10:42,976
[Viktor] Some countries we
invaded with military force,
179
00:10:43,143 --> 00:10:45,979
but we had special
plans for the USA.
180
00:10:46,146 --> 00:10:49,616
We sought to break
them down from within,
181
00:10:49,783 --> 00:10:52,953
strategically
infiltrating their society
182
00:10:53,987 --> 00:10:55,923
even their movie industry.
183
00:10:58,458 --> 00:11:00,627
[whirring]
184
00:11:00,761 --> 00:11:05,766
My assignment was to track and
influence their key players
185
00:11:05,899 --> 00:11:08,936
and to merge their
labor unions into one
186
00:11:09,069 --> 00:11:11,004
which we could control.
187
00:11:12,005 --> 00:11:14,875
But it's the wrong
question you ask.
188
00:11:15,008 --> 00:11:19,713
History is never about
when, where why, how.
189
00:11:19,847 --> 00:11:22,315
It always comes down to who.
190
00:11:25,152 --> 00:11:27,287
- You ready?
- Yes, sir, I'm ready.
191
00:11:27,454 --> 00:11:29,622
All right. Ronald Reagan,
192
00:11:29,790 --> 00:11:33,526
come give us that
Hollywood smile.
193
00:11:33,660 --> 00:11:36,663
[Viktor] And I just so
happened to have been assigned
194
00:11:36,830 --> 00:11:38,131
to "The Crusader."
195
00:11:39,166 --> 00:11:41,634
That is what we
mockingly called him.
196
00:11:42,803 --> 00:11:45,038
It became my obsession
197
00:11:46,039 --> 00:11:49,342
to understand what was
beneath the facade.
198
00:11:49,509 --> 00:11:54,782
And I learned to never leave a
detail behind as unimportant,
199
00:11:54,948 --> 00:11:55,948
because...
200
00:11:57,184 --> 00:11:58,986
it is all important.
201
00:12:00,487 --> 00:12:03,523
[Jane] After we get married,
how many sons are we gonna have?
202
00:12:03,690 --> 00:12:05,492
Well, how many do you want?
203
00:12:05,658 --> 00:12:07,727
Well, it would be nice
to have a full team.
204
00:12:07,895 --> 00:12:10,931
[chuckles] What's
your favorite sport?
205
00:12:11,098 --> 00:12:12,265
That's the trouble.
206
00:12:12,399 --> 00:12:13,399
Football.
207
00:12:18,305 --> 00:12:20,407
Cut! And print it!
208
00:12:20,540 --> 00:12:23,243
Nice work, Ron and Jane.
Moving on to the next shot.
209
00:12:23,376 --> 00:12:26,013
Well, that felt pretty natural.
210
00:12:26,146 --> 00:12:27,614
Really? What part?
211
00:12:27,747 --> 00:12:29,058

- We're symbols, leaders.
- Yes.
220
00:13:06,286 --> 00:13:08,922
We should be speaking to the
important issues of the day.

Oh, Eddie. Give it
a rest, will you?

00:13:11,091 --> 00:13:12,592
Leave that to the writers.

00:13:12,725 --> 00:13:14,661
[Dalton] You're still
new here, Reagan.
224
00:13:14,794 --> 00:13:17,330
Trust me, the studios
control every word I write.
225
00:13:17,464 --> 00:13:18,774
And God help me,
if I don't write,
226
00:13:18,798 --> 00:13:20,318
or you don't read
what they tell us to.
227
00:13:20,433 --> 00:13:21,935
Uh, they're paying
the bills, Dalton.
228
00:13:22,069 --> 00:13:23,503
- They should have some say.
- Yes.
229
00:13:23,636 --> 00:13:25,014
I mean, we're doing
pretty well, aren't we?
230
00:13:25,038 --> 00:13:27,074
- I think so.
- You don't get it, Holden.
231
00:13:27,207 --> 00:13:29,843
All we are is a
mouthpiece to a system,
232
00:13:29,977 --> 00:13:32,980
to a society, a society that
ignores the working man.

Trust me, it won't last.
234
00:13:35,615 --> 00:13:37,985
Well, what do you
mean by that, Dalton?
235
00:13:38,118 --> 00:13:39,352
Exactly what it says.
236
00:13:39,486 --> 00:13:41,188
Honey, come on.
Let's go dance.
237
00:13:41,321 --> 00:13:43,290
Just a second, honey.
No, no, really,
238
00:13:43,423 --> 00:13:45,425
explain it to me.
I'd like to know.
239
00:13:45,558 --> 00:13:49,796
Well, let's just say this
whole American Dream thing
240
00:13:49,930 --> 00:13:52,099
doesn't exactly apply
to everyone equally.
241
00:13:52,232 --> 00:13:54,001
And some of us aren't
sitting still for it.
242
00:13:54,134 --> 00:13:55,835
We're doing something about it.
243
00:13:55,969 --> 00:13:57,204
Doing what?
244
00:13:57,971 --> 00:14:00,607
Dalton, maybe we should talk
about this some other time.
245
00:14:01,474 --> 00:14:04,011
At some point, you're
gonna need to pick a side.

[sharp exhale] Well,
not tonight. [chuckles]
247
00:14:08,982 --> 00:14:11,618
Tonight, the only thing I'm
gonna pick is my dance partner

appear to be a great concern for us.

He was too busy
enjoying his honeymoon.

Not to mention, the

[camera shutter clicking]
255
00:14:33,306 --> 00:14:37,144
[Viktor] To understand
what made this man unique,
256
00:14:37,310 --> 00:14:40,480
I needed to understand the boy.
257
00:14:46,219 --> 00:14:48,922
- [car approaching]
- [horse whinnying]
258
00:14:49,089 --> 00:14:52,059

[horse whinnying]
260
00:14:53,660 --> 00:14:55,929
[Viktor] His father
had a nickname for him.
261
00:14:57,030 --> 00:14:58,431
They called him "Dutch."
262
00:15:04,871 --> 00:15:09,342
He had experience speaking
to crowds at an early age,
263
00:15:10,510 --> 00:15:12,245
as his mother, Nelle,
264
00:15:12,412 --> 00:15:16,683
pushed him to read poetry and
Bible verses at their church.
265
00:15:16,816 --> 00:15:19,686
"If my people which
are called by my name,
266
00:15:19,819 --> 00:15:21,454
shall humble
themselves and pray,
267
00:15:21,588 --> 00:15:25,092
seek my face and turn
from their wicked ways,
268
00:15:25,225 --> 00:15:28,395
then I will hear from
heaven, forgive their sin,
269
00:15:28,528 --> 00:15:30,430
and heal their land."
270
00:15:30,597 --> 00:15:31,717
[Dutch] Are we God's people?
271
00:15:31,831 --> 00:15:33,633
Well, anybody can
be God's people
272
00:15:33,766 --> 00:15:35,468
so long as they choose Him.
273
00:15:35,602 --> 00:15:38,205
How did you memorize
those verses so fast?
274
00:15:38,338 --> 00:15:40,373
I don't know. I just
read it and remembered.
275
00:15:41,108 --> 00:15:43,710
It's a gift, Dutch. You have
to look for those talents
276
00:15:43,843 --> 00:15:45,812
because God has a
purpose for your life.
277
00:15:45,945 --> 00:15:47,447
Something only you can do.

tell me he went quick."

[laughter]
286
00:16:10,903 --> 00:16:14,807
[Viktor] His father, Jack,
was a charismatic storyteller
287
00:16:14,974 --> 00:16:17,577
and Dutch idolized him for that.

Why does Jack drink
so much whiskey?
304
00:17:03,456 --> 00:17:04,491
It makes him forget.

dime-store novel

about a boy with a
drunk for a father.

The boy finds God
318
00:17:46,333 --> 00:17:49,436
and he is elected to
the American Congress.

Reagan, I baptize you

in the name of the Father,
the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
328
00:18:25,605 --> 00:18:27,807
Dutch reads this book.
329
00:18:27,940 --> 00:18:29,476
This book was a roadmap for him
330
00:18:29,609 --> 00:18:32,779
of the world where good
triumphs over evil.
331
00:18:32,912 --> 00:18:35,114
This book. Here, look.
332
00:18:39,286 --> 00:18:40,653

I was really looking for,

00:18:54,801 --> 00:18:57,737
I had to go back to

00:18:59,406 --> 00:19:00,607
Help!

- Help!
- [woman] Somebody save her!

- Although he would later claim...
- Help!

00:19:04,977 --> 00:19:06,913
- to have saved 77 lives...
- Help me!

- over those summers...
- Help!

00:19:08,815 --> 00:19:11,584
- There was a question as to whether...
- Help!

Hold on, hold on. I
got you. I got you.
342
00:19:13,886 --> 00:19:16,456
Those were all legitimate.
343
00:19:16,589 --> 00:19:18,291
- You okay?
- Yeah.
344
00:19:19,125 --> 00:19:20,125
Yeah.

00:19:22,329 --> 00:19:23,463
Almost there.

- [man coughing]
- There you go.
347
00:19:25,365 --> 00:19:28,134
[Viktor] He also learned
that performing his duty
348
00:19:28,301 --> 00:19:31,871
- would not always result in praise.

Chancellor, Adolf Hitler,

in rebuilding Germany

Let's get one thing
straight, okay?
419
00:22:44,497 --> 00:22:46,799
I'm not gonna do any
union busting for you
420

just because I'm
on your payroll.

It's a conflict of
interest for me.
422

It's not about
busting up the unions.
423
00:22:52,939 --> 00:22:54,339
But it's this new

taking over all the unions.

Well, if it's a turf war, just
let them work it out. That's all.

They're not gonna work it out,

00:27:55,507 --> 00:27:58,711
They ran into the Board of Directors
of the Screen Actors Guild,
521
00:27:58,845 --> 00:28:00,612
in particular, Ronald Reagan...
522
00:28:02,148 --> 00:28:04,216
who was a one-man battalion
against this thing.
523
00:28:04,350 --> 00:28:05,617
Let's go to work.
524
00:28:05,752 --> 00:28:06,953
- [cheering]
- Yeah!
525
00:28:09,288 --> 00:28:11,490
[Reagan] As a citizen,
I would not like to see
526
00:28:11,623 --> 00:28:13,525
any political party outlawed
527
00:28:13,659 --> 00:28:15,862
on the basis of its ideology.
528
00:28:15,995 --> 00:28:18,664
Democracy is strong enough
to stand up for itself
529
00:28:18,798 --> 00:28:20,967
against the inroads
of any ideology,
530
00:28:21,100 --> 00:28:23,335
no matter how much we
may disagree with it.
531
00:28:23,469 --> 00:28:25,504
Because I still
believe, Mr. Chairman,
532
00:28:25,637 --> 00:28:27,573
that democracy can handle it.
533
00:28:29,575 --> 00:28:32,979
[Viktor] He had shut us down.
He was clever in his message
534
00:28:33,145 --> 00:28:36,015
that it was okay
to be communist,
535
00:28:36,182 --> 00:28:39,351
but not while being paid by us.
536
00:28:41,453 --> 00:28:44,490
[soft music playing]
537
00:28:44,623 --> 00:28:48,060
[camera whirring]
538
00:28:48,194 --> 00:28:50,262
And cut! That's
lunch, everybody.
539
00:28:50,396 --> 00:28:52,107
- [crew] Okay. Nice work.
- [Jane] You were great too.
540
00:28:52,131 --> 00:28:54,042
- [actor] Can I buy you lunch?
- [Jane] Sure. I have time.
541
00:28:54,066 --> 00:28:56,668
- Let's grab a bite.
- Honey...
542
00:28:56,836 --> 00:28:59,371
[Viktor] While his wife's
career was skyrocketing...
543
00:28:59,505 --> 00:29:01,083
- [Jane] ...commissary or my dress...
- [kid] Mama!
544
00:29:01,107 --> 00:29:02,975
[Viktor] ...he was
reduced to the sidelines
545
00:29:03,142 --> 00:29:04,276
and their marriage...
546
00:29:05,311 --> 00:29:07,546
- deteriorated.
- [kid babbling] Mama...
547
00:29:10,783 --> 00:29:13,853
[Viktor] And to break
more his damaged heart,
548
00:29:14,020 --> 00:29:16,355
their third child, Christine,
549
00:29:16,522 --> 00:29:18,925
died the very day she was born.
550
00:29:19,058 --> 00:29:21,961
[mournful music playing]
551
00:29:37,009 --> 00:29:38,210
[Nelle] How's my son?
552
00:29:41,047 --> 00:29:42,414
I lost a child...
553
00:29:43,950 --> 00:29:46,252
marriage, a career.
554
00:29:46,385 --> 00:29:47,954
How do you think your boy is?
555
00:29:50,022 --> 00:29:51,590
You know, Nelle,
556
00:29:51,723 --> 00:29:54,083
I think I kinda missed the boat
on that whole purpose thing.
557
00:29:55,594 --> 00:29:58,831
Maybe I'm just Jack
all over again.
558
00:29:58,965 --> 00:30:00,132
No, Dutch.
559
00:30:00,266 --> 00:30:01,767
You're not your father.
560
00:30:04,736 --> 00:30:06,472
Just remember
561
00:30:06,605 --> 00:30:11,443
to listen to that
small, soft voice,
562
00:30:11,577 --> 00:30:14,013
the one that you can't hear
563
00:30:15,381 --> 00:30:17,749
unless you're alone
564
00:30:18,885 --> 00:30:20,619
and quiet,
565
00:30:20,752 --> 00:30:23,122
and he has your full attention.
566
00:30:25,657 --> 00:30:27,659
Remember whose you are
567
00:30:29,795 --> 00:30:31,030
and whom you serve.
568
00:30:42,909 --> 00:30:44,010
Yes, Sandy?
569
00:30:45,844 --> 00:30:47,255
Can you give an
actress five minutes?
570
00:30:47,279 --> 00:30:48,847
Uh... [exhales]
571
00:30:48,981 --> 00:30:51,817
- Of course.
- Miss Davis?
572
00:30:51,951 --> 00:30:53,886
Hello. [clears throat]
I'm Nancy Davis.
573
00:30:54,020 --> 00:30:55,521
Hello, Nancy Davis.
I'm Ron Reagan.
574
00:30:55,654 --> 00:30:57,023
- Yes, I know.
- [both chuckle]
575
00:30:58,024 --> 00:30:59,892
- How about a cup of coffee?
- Oh, sure.
576
00:31:00,026 --> 00:31:02,461
- Have a seat.
- Ah.
577
00:31:02,594 --> 00:31:04,863
I'm afraid I've been a
pest to your secretary.
578
00:31:04,997 --> 00:31:07,833
- Oh.
- But I persist when it's important.
579
00:31:07,967 --> 00:31:09,835
- Cream, sugar?
- Oh, well,
580
00:31:09,969 --> 00:31:11,637
- sure, uh, black.
- Oh!
581
00:31:11,770 --> 00:31:13,805
- [coffee pours]
- [glass clinks]
582
00:31:13,940 --> 00:31:17,509
Well... how can I
help you, Nancy Davis?
583
00:31:18,310 --> 00:31:19,310
Well,
584
00:31:20,012 --> 00:31:23,015
I'm listed as a signer
on a letter of support
585
00:31:23,149 --> 00:31:25,251
for two communist sympathizers
586
00:31:25,384 --> 00:31:27,653
but I never signed
any such letter.
587
00:31:27,786 --> 00:31:29,255
There's another Nancy Davis.
588
00:31:29,388 --> 00:31:31,090
Oh, I see.
589
00:31:31,223 --> 00:31:34,093
Well, uh, the easiest thing to
do, is just change your name.
590
00:31:34,226 --> 00:31:35,761
It happens all the
time in Hollywood.
591
00:31:35,894 --> 00:31:38,497
Oh, no. No. I
cannot do that, no.
592
00:31:39,531 --> 00:31:41,433
My name is very important to me.
593
00:31:41,567 --> 00:31:42,768
It's-it's my family.
594
00:31:42,901 --> 00:31:44,403
Oh, of course.
595
00:31:44,536 --> 00:31:46,672
Uh, family's important.
596
00:31:46,805 --> 00:31:47,839
Yes.
597
00:31:48,540 --> 00:31:49,575
Very important.
598
00:31:52,578 --> 00:31:54,880
So, uh, I guess there's
only one thing left to do,
599
00:31:55,014 --> 00:31:59,051
and that is to launch an exhaustive
and a detailed investigation.
600
00:31:59,185 --> 00:32:01,187
Well, of course, I've
retained an attorney.
601
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:02,697
Oh, there won't be
any need for that.
602
00:32:02,721 --> 00:32:04,256
We can knock this
out over dinner.
603
00:32:04,390 --> 00:32:06,959
- Excuse me?
- Yes, uh, we can discuss it then.
604
00:32:07,093 --> 00:32:09,428
But I can't be late. I, uh...
605
00:32:09,561 --> 00:32:12,098
Yes, I have an early studio
call tomorrow morning.
606
00:32:12,231 --> 00:32:15,634
Oh, well, I'll have
to check my date book.
607
00:32:15,767 --> 00:32:18,604
[chuckles] I'm just
gonna... Just give me...
608
00:32:18,737 --> 00:32:19,605
Yes?
609
00:32:19,738 --> 00:32:21,707
Yes. Um...
610
00:32:24,010 --> 00:32:27,046
Well... Oh, I think
I can manage it,
611
00:32:27,179 --> 00:32:28,614
but I have an early call too.
612
00:32:28,747 --> 00:32:30,282
Well, then it's a date!
613
00:32:30,416 --> 00:32:31,783
- Yeah. Yes.
- Yeah.
614
00:32:31,917 --> 00:32:32,985
- Okay.
- Thank you.
615
00:32:34,886 --> 00:32:36,788
- Pleasure.
- Goodbye, for now.
616
00:32:41,293 --> 00:32:42,794
[secretary] Bye, Miss Davis.
617
00:32:42,928 --> 00:32:44,130
[whistles]
618
00:32:44,263 --> 00:32:47,399
[bright music playing]
619
00:32:47,533 --> 00:32:49,101
Okay, Bobby, thanks.
620
00:32:49,235 --> 00:32:50,915
I'm gonna take care of
that in the morning.
621
00:32:53,205 --> 00:32:55,474
[ballad song playing]
622
00:33:01,747 --> 00:33:02,981
- Well...
- Well, it looks like
623
00:33:03,115 --> 00:33:04,350
we've shut the place down.
624
00:33:04,483 --> 00:33:06,285
Huh, yes, we did. Here.
625
00:33:13,125 --> 00:33:14,193
- [chuckles]
- Oh...
626
00:33:15,161 --> 00:33:17,363
Thank you, Joseph. Uh...
627
00:33:17,496 --> 00:33:19,165
- Miss Davis?
- Yes?
628
00:33:19,298 --> 00:33:21,143
I'm gonna get on this
first thing in the morning
629
00:33:21,167 --> 00:33:22,801
and I'll make all
the calls myself.
630
00:33:22,934 --> 00:33:25,604
Your name will be off that list.
631
00:33:25,737 --> 00:33:26,805
Oh, just like that?
632
00:33:26,938 --> 00:33:28,507
- Just like that.
- [chuckles]
633
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,176
So, um,
634
00:33:30,309 --> 00:33:34,280
when-when you're not acting
or being SAG president,
635
00:33:34,413 --> 00:33:37,349
what-what do you like to do
with your time, Mr. Reagan?
636
00:33:37,483 --> 00:33:40,186
Well, I... I like the outdoors.
637
00:33:40,319 --> 00:33:41,453
Mm-hmm.
638
00:33:41,587 --> 00:33:43,389
- I-I play golf.
- Mm.
639
00:33:43,522 --> 00:33:44,522
And...
640
00:33:45,291 --> 00:33:47,459
I-I love riding horses.
641
00:33:47,593 --> 00:33:48,960
Yes. Do you ride?
642
00:33:49,761 --> 00:33:51,563
- Sure, I do. Mm-hmm.
- You do?
643
00:33:51,697 --> 00:33:54,733
Well, there's nothing like a
relationship with a horse, is there?
644
00:33:54,866 --> 00:33:56,902
They're beautiful animals.
645
00:33:57,035 --> 00:33:58,035
- Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.
646
00:33:59,004 --> 00:34:01,240
- Ooh! Ooh!
- ["Little Girl" playing]

Look, just...
648
00:34:02,674 --> 00:34:04,176
- How do I slow down?
- Well, just...
649
00:34:04,310 --> 00:34:06,312
- Ooh! Okay.
- You're doing fine. You're doing fine.
650
00:34:06,445 --> 00:34:07,746
[both chuckling]
651
00:34:07,879 --> 00:34:10,249
[breathes shakily] Oh! Oh!
652
00:34:11,450 --> 00:34:13,419
- You look good on a horse.
- Oh, thank you.
653
00:34:13,552 --> 00:34:14,986
[horse whinnies]
654
00:34:15,121 --> 00:34:16,555
[Nancy] I have a
confession to make.
655
00:34:16,688 --> 00:34:17,689
Oh, what's that?
656
00:34:17,823 --> 00:34:19,691
I don't ride horses. [chuckles]
657
00:34:19,825 --> 00:34:23,562
- Really? You could have fooled me.
- Oh! [chuckles]
658
00:34:23,695 --> 00:34:25,664
Well, it's beautiful up here.
659
00:34:25,797 --> 00:34:27,333
Come on over here.
660
00:34:27,466 --> 00:34:30,736
- Yes, it is.
- It's like we're a million miles from LA.
661
00:34:30,869 --> 00:34:33,939
Yes. You know, I did my first
location shoot here in fact.
662
00:34:34,072 --> 00:34:35,841
- Really?
- Yes.
663
00:34:35,974 --> 00:34:37,709
I jumped on the
back of that horse,
664
00:34:37,843 --> 00:34:41,247
looked around at all this, and
said, "Wow, I'm in heaven."
665
00:34:41,380 --> 00:34:42,714
Oh!
666
00:34:42,848 --> 00:34:44,450
Yeah, it's heaven.
667
00:34:46,185 --> 00:34:49,721
You know, I have a confession
to make of my own, Nancy.
668
00:34:49,855 --> 00:34:51,757
- Mmm.
- [horse whinnies]
669
00:34:51,890 --> 00:34:53,125
Uh...
670
00:34:53,259 --> 00:34:55,627
I'm what you call
"damaged goods."
671
00:34:55,761 --> 00:34:58,130
I'm divorced, I got kids.
672
00:34:58,264 --> 00:35:00,266
I haven't had a
decent role in years
673
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:02,634
and I'm just about broke.
674
00:35:04,002 --> 00:35:05,304
How's that for a come-on?
675
00:35:07,873 --> 00:35:09,641
We're all damaged goods, Ronnie.
676
00:35:13,212 --> 00:35:15,414
What's next for you? I mean...
677
00:35:16,915 --> 00:35:18,450
what do you want
out of this life?
678
00:35:19,851 --> 00:35:22,321
I don't know, I used
to have big ambitions.
679
00:35:22,454 --> 00:35:23,454
Dreams.
680
00:35:24,856 --> 00:35:25,856
Now, I...
681
00:35:26,625 --> 00:35:29,428
I don't know. I just wanna do
something good in this world.
682
00:35:30,862 --> 00:35:32,298
Make a difference.
683
00:35:33,532 --> 00:35:35,267
I think you've done that.
684
00:35:36,902 --> 00:35:38,637
I'd like to make
a difference too.
685
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,810
But I have figured
something out, Ronnie.
686
00:35:46,044 --> 00:35:47,513
- What's that?
- It's really hard
687
00:35:47,646 --> 00:35:49,481
to make a difference
in this life
688
00:35:51,417 --> 00:35:52,851
when you have to do it alone.

Laughing Face)" playing]

00:36:16,408 --> 00:36:17,408
[Nancy] Mmm.
691
00:36:38,330 --> 00:36:40,131
- Are you sure you wanna go?
- [baby crying]
692
00:36:40,266 --> 00:36:42,701
You know, this is not
exactly Academy Award stuff.

Well, you know we
don't like to be apart,
694
00:36:44,770 --> 00:36:46,638
and I love to watch
my husband work.
695
00:36:46,772 --> 00:36:48,807
I know, I know, work's work.
696
00:36:49,608 --> 00:36:51,076
[engine starts]
697
00:36:51,209 --> 00:36:52,911
Bye, Patti!
698
00:36:53,044 --> 00:36:54,813
[car revs]

00:36:54,946 --> 00:36:58,517
["This Town" playing]
700
00:37:11,162 --> 00:37:13,532
[crew] Mr. Reagan, your
agent's on the line.
701
00:37:13,665 --> 00:37:16,735
Look, Lou, if I go out
there, my career, it's...
702
00:37:17,903 --> 00:37:18,904
it's dead.
703
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:22,541
[sighs]
704
00:37:22,674 --> 00:37:24,242
Lou, listen to me.
705
00:37:25,711 --> 00:37:28,447
I'm not going out there.
706
00:37:28,580 --> 00:37:31,517
It is Pabst Blue Ribbon time!
707
00:37:32,484 --> 00:37:35,687
- What'll you have?
- I'll have a Pabst Blue Ribbon!
708
00:37:35,821 --> 00:37:38,524
- I'll take a Pabst, Bonzo!
- Oh, yeah.
709
00:37:38,657 --> 00:37:40,359
[audience laughing]
710
00:37:40,492 --> 00:37:42,861
[Ziggy] Looks like it's
bedtime for Bonzo, folks!
711
00:37:42,994 --> 00:37:45,697
- [music cue] - [Reagan grunts]
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen,
712
00:37:45,831 --> 00:37:48,600
and now the Pabst
Blue Ribbon dancers!
713
00:37:48,734 --> 00:37:50,135
[audience applauds]
714
00:37:56,274 --> 00:37:57,576
- Mm.

00:37:57,709 --> 00:37:59,778
[sighs, forced chuckle]
716
00:38:07,619 --> 00:38:09,087
Ladies...
717
00:38:09,220 --> 00:38:11,323
do you happen to
have an extra smoke
718
00:38:11,457 --> 00:38:13,291
for a clown? Thank you.

[lighter clicks]

00:38:23,935 --> 00:38:25,437
- Thanks.
- No problem.

728
00:39:06,445 --> 00:39:10,081
This season, I'm sending all
my friends Chesterfields.
729
00:39:10,248 --> 00:39:13,419
[Viktor] Meanwhile, his
career as movie star
730
00:39:13,585 --> 00:39:15,053
continued to fade.
731
00:39:15,186 --> 00:39:17,322
Wow! I could've had a V8!
732
00:39:18,323 --> 00:39:19,691
Oh, Ronnie!
733
00:39:19,825 --> 00:39:21,627
That's a super smooth shave.
734
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:23,562
That's because I used Gillette.
735
00:39:24,963 --> 00:39:28,400
Soothe your skin with
Campho-Phenique antiseptic powder.
736
00:39:28,534 --> 00:39:32,471
At the movies or at home, honey,
they're the perfect snack.
737
00:39:32,604 --> 00:39:35,006
ICEE. The coldest drink in town
738
00:39:35,140 --> 00:39:37,075
at a sweet, low price.
739
00:39:37,208 --> 00:39:39,377
Come on, Colman's.
Light my fire.
740
00:39:39,511 --> 00:39:40,511
[bell dings]
741
00:39:42,648 --> 00:39:47,218
[Viktor] He continued to focus on his role
as the president of Screen Actors Guild
742
00:39:48,620 --> 00:39:50,822
where he did quite
well, actually.
743
00:39:50,956 --> 00:39:54,893
But the movie opportunities
started to evaporate.
744
00:39:55,026 --> 00:39:57,395
Yes, he was a B-movie
star. This is well-known.
745
00:39:58,464 --> 00:40:02,000
But what does this have to do
with losing our Motherland?
746
00:40:03,635 --> 00:40:05,771
Communism is not the Motherland.
747
00:40:07,072 --> 00:40:08,874
They're the Motherland.
748
00:40:10,008 --> 00:40:14,212
Turgenev, Leo Tolstoy, Chekhov.
749
00:40:14,345 --> 00:40:16,715
That's the Motherland!
The Motherland...
750
00:40:18,416 --> 00:40:19,416
is here!

00:40:21,052 --> 00:40:22,954
- [Viktor mumbling]
- [aide speaking]
752
00:40:23,088 --> 00:40:25,090
I can't. I must be...

00:40:27,893 --> 00:40:29,360
[phone ringing]
754
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:36,000
[Nancy] Hello?
755
00:40:37,569 --> 00:40:38,569
Oh, no.
756
00:40:39,437 --> 00:40:40,437
Ronnie?
757
00:40:46,512 --> 00:40:48,279
Thank you, Lord, for my mother.
758
00:40:50,582 --> 00:40:51,817
Take care of her.
759
00:40:53,218 --> 00:40:54,586
I know you will.
760
00:40:57,623 --> 00:41:00,626
Your good and faithful
servant has come home.
761
00:41:09,668 --> 00:41:12,237
[Viktor] While he mourned
the loss of his mother,
762
00:41:12,403 --> 00:41:15,507
and continued to
struggle with his career,
763
00:41:15,641 --> 00:41:17,342
the world was passing him by.
764
00:41:18,544 --> 00:41:20,304
[reporter] The United
States and Soviet Union
765
00:41:20,411 --> 00:41:21,780
now face off in a new Cold War.
766
00:41:21,947 --> 00:41:23,707
- Nuclear retaliation looms.
- [men shouting]
767
00:41:23,782 --> 00:41:26,017
"The purpose of these bases
768
00:41:26,151 --> 00:41:30,822
can be none other than to provide
a nuclear strike capability
769
00:41:30,956 --> 00:41:32,591
against the western hemisphere."
770
00:41:32,758 --> 00:41:34,358
[reporter 2] President
Kennedy's blockade
771
00:41:34,459 --> 00:41:37,796
stops the advance of
nuclear weapons into Cuba.
772
00:41:41,132 --> 00:41:43,068
[reporter 3] Movements
across Germany had stopped
773
00:41:43,234 --> 00:41:44,914
as the East Germans
built a wall overnight,
774
00:41:44,970 --> 00:41:46,672
separating not only the country,
775
00:41:46,838 --> 00:41:47,973
but neighbors and family.
776
00:41:53,444 --> 00:41:58,149
[Viktor] He became host of TV
show for appliance company.
777
00:41:58,316 --> 00:42:01,452
He toured across the country,
meeting factory workers
778
00:42:01,587 --> 00:42:02,921
and giving speeches.
779
00:42:03,088 --> 00:42:05,757
He was like politician
with no party.
780
00:42:06,758 --> 00:42:10,361
So, he decided to set his
sights on something else.
781
00:42:10,528 --> 00:42:16,034
Us. He devoured books
about communism, espionage,
782
00:42:16,201 --> 00:42:18,169
our takeover of Eastern Europe,
783
00:42:18,336 --> 00:42:20,538
and the construction
of the Berlin Wall.
784
00:42:24,275 --> 00:42:26,812
You know our bed's a
lot more comfortable.
785
00:42:26,945 --> 00:42:30,348
Well, unless you prefer, uh,
Whittaker Chambers to me?
786
00:42:30,481 --> 00:42:32,684
- Oh, you know that's not true.
- [chuckles]
787
00:42:32,818 --> 00:42:34,920
Come to bed, honey. It's late.
788
00:42:37,155 --> 00:42:39,224
[sighs]
789
00:42:39,357 --> 00:42:43,762
You know, all they have
are missiles and oil.
790
00:42:44,863 --> 00:42:47,232
If we get them to spend
money they don't have,
791
00:42:47,365 --> 00:42:48,734
they can't support themselves.
792
00:42:48,867 --> 00:42:50,769
- The Soviets.
- The Soviets.
793
00:42:50,902 --> 00:42:52,738
We've been going
about this all wrong.
794
00:42:52,871 --> 00:42:55,440
We don't have to match
them missile for missile.
795
00:42:56,307 --> 00:42:58,176
All we have to do
796
00:42:58,309 --> 00:43:00,411
is just keep up the pressure.
797
00:43:00,545 --> 00:43:02,881
We have deeper
pockets than they do.
798
00:43:03,014 --> 00:43:05,884
And here I thought
I married an actor.
799
00:43:07,152 --> 00:43:09,855
Well, you could always
talk to Dick Nixon,
800
00:43:09,988 --> 00:43:13,625
President Kennedy, or any
of your political friends.
801
00:43:15,393 --> 00:43:18,196
But why is it that my
husband seems to know
802
00:43:18,329 --> 00:43:21,099
what's gonna happen
before they do, hmm?
803
00:43:23,001 --> 00:43:25,203
- Well...
- Yeah.
804
00:43:25,336 --> 00:43:28,907
I was a lifeguard at a public
swimming hole on a river.
805
00:43:29,908 --> 00:43:31,743
And I studied that river.
806
00:43:32,577 --> 00:43:35,747
And I learned how to
read the currents.
807
00:43:37,415 --> 00:43:40,584
Not just the ones
on the surface.
808
00:43:40,585 --> 00:43:43,655
But also the ones that were
deep underneath the water,
809
00:43:44,589 --> 00:43:46,557
flowing way under.
810
00:43:49,227 --> 00:43:50,662
And I got good at it.
811
00:44:01,539 --> 00:44:03,809
I knew people were in
trouble before they did.
812
00:44:08,646 --> 00:44:13,952
- [metal thudding]
- [seagulls squawking]
813
00:44:14,953 --> 00:44:18,156
Moon, thank you for bringing your
brother up here on such short notice.
814
00:44:18,289 --> 00:44:20,358
It wasn't easy, he's
not a fan of flying.
815
00:44:20,491 --> 00:44:23,128
Well, we'll remedy that. Thank
you for coming, Mr. Reagan.
816
00:44:23,261 --> 00:44:24,963
Thanks for having
me, Mr. Tuttle.
817
00:44:25,096 --> 00:44:27,265
[Holmes] Now, we understand
that you jumped the aisle
818
00:44:27,398 --> 00:44:29,134
- and switched parties.
- Well,
819
00:44:29,267 --> 00:44:32,537
my brother and I both,
we came of age under FDR.
820
00:44:32,670 --> 00:44:34,639
Our dad, Jack, he
was a huge fan,
821
00:44:34,773 --> 00:44:38,276
and we were proud to
be New Deal Democrats.
822
00:44:38,409 --> 00:44:39,945
So why did you leave 'em?
823
00:44:40,078 --> 00:44:41,312
I didn't.
824
00:44:41,446 --> 00:44:43,381
- They left me.
- [laughter]
825
00:44:43,514 --> 00:44:45,634
Well, how do you feel about
campaigning for Goldwater?
826
00:44:45,683 --> 00:44:47,161
He's gonna get
shellacked in November.
827
00:44:47,185 --> 00:44:49,187
No way he takes the White House.
828
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:52,623
Mr. Tuttle's right,
he can't beat LBJ.
829
00:44:52,758 --> 00:44:54,525
I'm curious, Ron.
830
00:44:54,659 --> 00:44:56,862
What would you say is
the issue of our time?
831
00:44:58,296 --> 00:45:00,198
No question about it.
832
00:45:00,331 --> 00:45:02,367
Communism and the Soviet Union.
833
00:45:02,500 --> 00:45:05,636
Domestic issues is what
I'm more curious about.
834
00:45:07,806 --> 00:45:11,709
What's more domestic than
survival, Mr. Tuttle?
835
00:45:11,843 --> 00:45:14,746
Communism is the natural
enemy of freedom.
836
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:18,483
It won't stop attacking us
from the outside or the inside.
837
00:45:18,616 --> 00:45:21,219
And it's spreading around the
world while we wring our hands
838
00:45:21,352 --> 00:45:22,888
trying to negotiate.
839
00:45:26,958 --> 00:45:29,895
What did I tell you, guys?
He's not just a pretty face.
840
00:45:30,028 --> 00:45:32,263
Why don't you put your money
where your mouth is, Ron?
841
00:45:32,397 --> 00:45:36,067
Get in the game. Support
Goldwater and then run for office.
842
00:45:36,201 --> 00:45:37,921
Well, he'd win State
Senator in a landslide.
843
00:45:38,003 --> 00:45:39,905
State Senator. How
does that sound?
844
00:45:42,974 --> 00:45:43,974
Well,
845
00:45:44,910 --> 00:45:46,377
I played a senator once.
846
00:45:46,511 --> 00:45:48,446
[chuckling]
847
00:45:48,579 --> 00:45:50,248
But I've never
played a governor.
848
00:45:51,316 --> 00:45:53,284
[laughter]
849
00:45:56,988 --> 00:46:01,059
[Viktor] Seventeen years after
I had begun following him,
850
00:46:01,226 --> 00:46:05,030
he made his debut on
American political stage.
851
00:46:05,196 --> 00:46:08,433
Well, I'd like to suggest to you, there
is no such thing as left or right.
852
00:46:08,566 --> 00:46:10,635
There's only up or down.
853
00:46:10,802 --> 00:46:12,513
- Look, there's daddy.
- [Reagan] I believe that the issues
854
00:46:12,537 --> 00:46:14,405
confronting us
cross party lines.
855
00:46:14,572 --> 00:46:16,474
Now, one side of this campaign
856
00:46:16,607 --> 00:46:19,077
has been telling us that
the issues of this election
857
00:46:19,210 --> 00:46:21,646
are the maintenance of
peace and prosperity.
858
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:24,649
The line has been used.
859
00:46:24,782 --> 00:46:26,717
"We've never had it so good."
860
00:46:26,852 --> 00:46:30,321
Somewhere, a perversion
has taken place.
861
00:46:30,455 --> 00:46:33,391
Should Moses have told the
children of Israel to live
862
00:46:33,524 --> 00:46:35,093
in slavery under the pharaohs?
863
00:46:35,226 --> 00:46:37,228
Should Christ have
refused the cross?
864
00:46:37,362 --> 00:46:39,230
Should the patriots have
thrown down their guns
865
00:46:39,364 --> 00:46:42,067
and refused to fire the
shot heard around the world?
866
00:46:43,301 --> 00:46:45,470
You and I have the courage
867
00:46:45,603 --> 00:46:47,805
to say to our enemies...
868
00:46:47,973 --> 00:46:50,308
there is a price
we will not pay.
869
00:46:50,475 --> 00:46:56,214
A point beyond which
they must not advance.
870
00:46:56,381 --> 00:46:58,917
We'll preserve for
our children this,
871
00:46:59,084 --> 00:47:01,619
the last best hope
of man on Earth,
872
00:47:01,786 --> 00:47:04,990
or we'll sentence them
to take the last step
873
00:47:05,156 --> 00:47:07,692
into a thousand
years of darkness.
874
00:47:08,326 --> 00:47:11,196
When great forces are on
the move in the world,
875
00:47:11,329 --> 00:47:16,534
we learn that we are
spirits, not animals.
876
00:47:16,667 --> 00:47:19,537
There's something going
on in time and space,
877
00:47:19,670 --> 00:47:21,506
beyond time and space,
878
00:47:21,639 --> 00:47:23,474
which, whether we
like it or not,
879
00:47:23,608 --> 00:47:25,276
spells duty.
880
00:47:26,111 --> 00:47:27,111
You and I...
881
00:47:28,413 --> 00:47:30,615
have a rendezvous with destiny.
882
00:47:30,748 --> 00:47:33,384
[audience applauds]
883
00:47:35,186 --> 00:47:38,056
[Viktor] Mr. Goldwater
lost decisively.
884
00:47:38,856 --> 00:47:41,859
But The Crusader had arrived.
885
00:47:42,027 --> 00:47:46,898
And he was putting us on notice that
he was not afraid to take us on.
886
00:47:47,032 --> 00:47:48,967

[Betty chuckles]
889
00:47:56,841 --> 00:47:57,841
- Hello.
- Hello.
890
00:47:57,943 --> 00:47:59,877
Oh, hi! It's you!
891
00:48:00,011 --> 00:48:02,680
- [chuckles] Well, yes.
- What are doing you here?
892
00:48:02,813 --> 00:48:04,349
I... Did I win something?
893
00:48:04,482 --> 00:48:06,751
No. We're canvasing
the neighborhood,
894
00:48:06,884 --> 00:48:09,754
and I'm running for governor
and I would like your vote.
895
00:48:09,887 --> 00:48:12,757
Well, of course! Of course! I...
896
00:48:13,458 --> 00:48:15,860
Now I'm embarrassed.
I forgot your name.
897
00:48:15,994 --> 00:48:18,863
Do his initials help? RR?
898
00:48:18,997 --> 00:48:20,831
[gasps, breathes out]
899
00:48:20,966 --> 00:48:24,535
[inhales deeply] Honey!
Roy Rogers is here!
900
00:48:26,537 --> 00:48:28,839
And he's running for governor!
901
00:48:32,510 --> 00:48:34,179
["Wild Thing" playing]

[crowd whooping, applauding]
903
00:48:38,549 --> 00:48:39,549
[camera shutter clicking]
904
00:48:44,455 --> 00:48:46,891
[Viktor] He was on
the US stage now.
905
00:48:48,193 --> 00:48:51,529
But my colleagues still
refused to take him seriously.
906
00:48:52,397 --> 00:48:53,698
After all, they said,
907
00:48:54,765 --> 00:48:56,968
"What could state
governor do to us?"
908
00:48:57,102 --> 00:48:59,971
[crowd cheering] Reagan! Reagan!
909
00:49:00,105 --> 00:49:02,573
[upbeat music playing]
910
00:49:02,707 --> 00:49:05,310
The police are overburdened.
There's just too many of them.
911
00:49:05,443 --> 00:49:07,112
Where are these kids' parents?
912
00:49:07,245 --> 00:49:09,280
Well, they're not all
students. Mostly agitators.
913
00:49:09,414 --> 00:49:11,025
They don't even know
what they're protesting.
914
00:49:11,049 --> 00:49:12,717
They're just doing it to do it,
915
00:49:12,850 --> 00:49:14,219
and they're getting
outside help.
916
00:49:14,352 --> 00:49:15,752
They've issued a
new set of demands.
917
00:49:15,786 --> 00:49:17,288
Of course they have.
918
00:49:17,422 --> 00:49:19,657
They want you to present
them to them personally.
919
00:49:20,691 --> 00:49:23,428
- The National Guard... is on standby.
- [Reagan sighs]
920
00:49:23,561 --> 00:49:25,130
They can be on-site
within an hour.
921
00:49:25,263 --> 00:49:27,832
That's going federal.
Ramifications for that.
922
00:49:27,965 --> 00:49:30,968
Communities, schools,
especially the press.
923
00:49:32,270 --> 00:49:33,638
If they wanna talk,
924
00:49:35,106 --> 00:49:36,441
let's go talk.
925
00:49:38,809 --> 00:49:42,480
[bells tolling]
926
00:49:42,613 --> 00:49:48,086
- [siren whooping]
- [crowd shouting]
927
00:49:48,219 --> 00:49:49,354
[protester] Love rules!
928
00:49:49,487 --> 00:49:52,657
Governor Reagan!
Make love, not war!
929
00:49:52,790 --> 00:49:55,993
From the looks of him, he
can't do either right now.
930
00:49:56,127 --> 00:49:57,962
Bill's gonna meet us inside.
931
00:49:59,230 --> 00:50:00,230
Lead the way.
932
00:50:01,066 --> 00:50:03,368
Peace now! Peace now!
933
00:50:03,501 --> 00:50:06,604
We want to hear you speak openly
about this to the state of California!
934
00:50:06,737 --> 00:50:08,639
Well, what do you
think I'm doing here?
935
00:50:08,773 --> 00:50:11,809
If you would come out against the
police escalation, they might listen.
936
00:50:11,942 --> 00:50:15,446
When did you ever stand up
in front of your students
937
00:50:15,580 --> 00:50:17,148
and beg them not to do this?
938
00:50:17,282 --> 00:50:20,851
They told you that they were
going to destroy the university
939
00:50:20,985 --> 00:50:23,288
if you sought to go ahead
with this construction.
940
00:50:23,421 --> 00:50:26,391
- But they offered to negotiate!
- Negotiate what?
941
00:50:26,524 --> 00:50:28,626
All of this happened,
professor, the very first time
942
00:50:28,759 --> 00:50:30,679
that some of you who are
old enough to know better
943
00:50:30,761 --> 00:50:34,165
let students think that they
have the right to choose
944
00:50:34,299 --> 00:50:36,134
which laws they were gonna obey,
945
00:50:36,267 --> 00:50:39,003
as long as it was done in
the name of social protest.
946
00:50:39,137 --> 00:50:40,705
I've had enough.
947
00:50:42,373 --> 00:50:44,909
- I'm calling in the National Guard.
- [door closes]
948
00:50:45,042 --> 00:50:47,478

949
00:50:50,881 --> 00:50:54,685
[footsteps tapping]
950
00:51:03,694 --> 00:51:05,062
Shh!
951
00:51:05,196 --> 00:51:06,931
[protesters laughing]
952
00:51:12,537 --> 00:51:14,572
[Viktor] The protestors
pushed him hard,
953
00:51:14,705 --> 00:51:16,341
but he pushed them harder.
954
00:51:17,308 --> 00:51:19,777
- [film clicking]
- He was controversial governor,
955
00:51:19,910 --> 00:51:21,779
but limited in what
he could accomplish.
956
00:51:21,912 --> 00:51:25,883
At least, as far as the things
he cared most about, like us.
957
00:51:27,652 --> 00:51:30,421
He enraged many
sympathetic to our cause,
958
00:51:30,555 --> 00:51:33,358
but he also inspired
many fanatics
959
00:51:33,491 --> 00:51:34,892
who would go to great lengths
960
00:51:35,059 --> 00:51:37,928
to get a glimpse of their hero.
961
00:51:38,062 --> 00:51:39,430
[dog barking in distance]
962
00:51:39,564 --> 00:51:41,799
Ron, who's this?
963
00:51:42,733 --> 00:51:44,034
Young man, uh...
964
00:51:44,935 --> 00:51:46,036
why are you in my yard?
965
00:51:47,605 --> 00:51:48,973
Hey, Mrs. Gov!
966
00:51:49,106 --> 00:51:51,209
I'm, uh, I'm Dana.
967
00:51:51,342 --> 00:51:53,411
I'm the head writer
for Youth for Reagan.
968
00:51:53,544 --> 00:51:55,556
And they're shutting us down. I
just want five minutes with the Gov.
969
00:51:55,580 --> 00:51:56,781
Oh, for heaven's sake.
970
00:51:56,914 --> 00:51:58,983
I-I'll be respectful,
scouts honor.
971
00:51:59,116 --> 00:52:01,452
I-I won't swear
or throw anything.
972
00:52:01,586 --> 00:52:04,054
- And I don't burn buildings.
- [Nancy] No, the problem is,
973
00:52:04,189 --> 00:52:06,624
is that the governor is
on a very tight schedule
974
00:52:06,757 --> 00:52:08,959
and he won't give
you five minutes.
975
00:52:09,093 --> 00:52:11,296
- He'll give you an hour.
- Sweet!
976
00:52:11,429 --> 00:52:13,464
No, it's not sweet.
You need to go home.
977
00:52:13,598 --> 00:52:16,410
Please, just call the office and I'll
make sure you get an appointment, okay?
978
00:52:16,434 --> 00:52:18,769
- Honey? Is everything all right?
- Hey, Gov!
979
00:52:18,903 --> 00:52:21,306
These young people spent
the night in our yard.
980
00:52:21,439 --> 00:52:23,107
I just wanna talk.
Five minutes.
981
00:52:26,444 --> 00:52:28,479
You look tired. How
about a cup of coffee?
982
00:52:28,613 --> 00:52:30,915
- Oh.
- Hell, yeah, dude!
983
00:52:32,417 --> 00:52:34,785
Thank you. I'm sorry,
I mean, Governor.
984
00:52:34,919 --> 00:52:36,754
[whimpers]
985
00:52:39,590 --> 00:52:42,760
[Reagan] So the politician says,
"What did I do to deserve this?"
986
00:52:42,893 --> 00:52:45,430
Saint Peter said, "Well, we
didn't know what to do with you,
987
00:52:45,563 --> 00:52:47,798
because you're the first
politician we've had up here."
988
00:52:50,034 --> 00:52:52,437
[Viktor] Nelle had
been gone for a decade,
989
00:52:52,603 --> 00:52:54,672
but The Crusader
managed to find others
990
00:52:54,839 --> 00:52:57,408
who shared her
fundamentalist beliefs.
991
00:52:57,575 --> 00:52:59,977
And one evening, our
surveillance picked up
992
00:53:00,144 --> 00:53:02,913
one of the strangest
exchanges I ever heard...
993
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:05,158
- [camera shutter clicking]
- involving a pop star,
994
00:53:05,182 --> 00:53:06,784
a preacher,
995
00:53:07,518 --> 00:53:09,153
and a prophecy.
996
00:53:09,287 --> 00:53:11,822
If you continue to walk
uprightly before me,
997
00:53:11,956 --> 00:53:15,793
you will dwell at 1600
Pennsylvania Avenue.
998
00:53:18,996 --> 00:53:19,996
Amen.
999
00:53:23,968 --> 00:53:24,968
[exhales]
1000
00:53:25,936 --> 00:53:27,037
Well, that was something.
1001
00:53:29,340 --> 00:53:31,342
All right, well, we
should probably head out.
1002
00:53:31,476 --> 00:53:32,796
- Yes, yes.
- Thank you, Governor.
1003
00:53:32,877 --> 00:53:34,879
- Thank you, Pat.
- Yeah, thanks for coming.
1004
00:53:35,012 --> 00:53:36,180
Yes. [chuckles]
1005
00:53:38,383 --> 00:53:40,084
You can't possibly believe this.
1006
00:53:41,886 --> 00:53:44,322
Doesn't matter if I believe it.
1007
00:53:45,390 --> 00:53:46,524
Did he believe it?
1008
00:53:47,558 --> 00:53:48,558
Who knows?
1009
00:53:51,729 --> 00:53:54,332
[tense music playing]
1010
00:54:00,137 --> 00:54:01,272

[soft music playing]
1013
00:54:38,709 --> 00:54:40,945
Well, Bill, there she is.
1014
00:54:42,246 --> 00:54:44,382
688 acres in all.
1015
00:54:44,515 --> 00:54:47,284
That sounds about enough.
How much they asking?
1016
00:54:47,952 --> 00:54:51,489
Too much for an honest
politician. [chuckles]
1017
00:54:51,622 --> 00:54:54,892
Well, there's nothing like stomping
around on your own piece of dirt.
1018
00:54:55,025 --> 00:54:56,060
Work and sweat,
1019
00:54:56,193 --> 00:54:57,762
think about your next move.
1020
00:54:57,895 --> 00:55:00,064
[sneers] Next move.
1021
00:55:02,066 --> 00:55:04,301
You know, they
taunt, unfortunately.
1022
00:55:04,435 --> 00:55:06,270
Won't last.
1023
00:55:06,404 --> 00:55:08,439
The Soviets, they're
here to stay.
1024
00:55:08,573 --> 00:55:12,343
There's nothing a retired
governor can do about The Soviets.
1025
00:55:12,477 --> 00:55:14,845
Well, you got a point. Not much.
1026
00:55:16,781 --> 00:55:17,948
But a president...
1027
00:55:19,617 --> 00:55:21,652
Now, he can do a thing or two.
1028
00:55:21,786 --> 00:55:23,921
[chuckles]
1029
00:55:24,054 --> 00:55:26,624
[hopeful music playing]
1030
00:55:36,934 --> 00:55:40,137
"So multiply that by a
billion, double that,
1031
00:55:40,270 --> 00:55:43,641
and that's only the surface
of how deep it really is.
1032
00:55:44,409 --> 00:55:47,011
'It' being my love for you.
1033
00:55:47,144 --> 00:55:49,614
I really love you
mucher than that.

1035
00:55:51,916 --> 00:55:53,660
- In The Whole Wide World.
- In The Whole Wide World.

- [chuckles] Aw.
- [chuckles]
1037
00:55:56,587 --> 00:55:59,023
Reminds me of one
of your old movies.

I should have a parasol
and a mint julep.
1039
00:56:01,592 --> 00:56:04,294
Well, Nancy Pants, I can
row back and get you one.
1040
00:56:04,429 --> 00:56:06,864
[chuckles, breathes deeply]
1041
00:56:14,772 --> 00:56:16,641
Bill thinks I should
run for president.
1042
00:56:16,774 --> 00:56:19,677
- Oh, Bill thinks so, does he?
- What?
1043
00:56:19,810 --> 00:56:21,746
- You think I'm too old?
- No.
1044
00:56:21,879 --> 00:56:24,715
You look 20 years
younger than you are.
1045
00:56:24,849 --> 00:56:26,851
Your mind is sharp as a tack.
1046
00:56:26,984 --> 00:56:30,421
Well, you know I can't do
this without your support.
1047
00:56:30,555 --> 00:56:32,222
You'll always have my support.
1048
00:56:33,357 --> 00:56:36,527
I know I can't just let you chop
wood for the rest of your life.
1049
00:56:36,661 --> 00:56:38,529
- Why not?
- [both chuckle]
1050
00:56:41,031 --> 00:56:45,235
I've actually been thinking about
what that preacher said by the pool.
1051
00:56:45,369 --> 00:56:46,671
You thought he was a kook.
1052
00:56:46,804 --> 00:56:47,905
I still do.
1053
00:56:49,206 --> 00:56:51,108
But maybe he was onto something.
1054
00:56:52,977 --> 00:56:55,112
You just may need to save us.
1055
00:57:00,851 --> 00:57:02,820
[newscaster] Good evening.
Tonight's showdown
1056
00:57:02,987 --> 00:57:05,656
might be the most thrilling
convention we've ever seen.
1057
00:57:05,823 --> 00:57:08,192
It's a true toss-up between
the incumbent president
1058
00:57:08,358 --> 00:57:11,696
and a serious challenger
from within his own party.
1059
00:57:11,829 --> 00:57:13,798
- Dick thinks if he can talk to Drew...
- What?
1060
00:57:13,931 --> 00:57:17,034
Dick thinks that if he can talk to
Drew, Pennsylvania might go our way.
1061
00:57:17,167 --> 00:57:19,870
Okay. I heard James Baker had
Pennsylvania on lock before.
1062
00:57:20,004 --> 00:57:21,772
- He said they're in play.
- We lost Oregon.
1063
00:57:21,906 --> 00:57:23,186
- Oregon?
- It's gone. All right?
1064
00:57:23,240 --> 00:57:25,309
Ohio, Indiana, Florida,
or Pennsylvania,
1065
00:57:25,442 --> 00:57:28,154
- they'll have to break our way.
- Anyone else looking for a Ford hat? How about you?
1066
00:57:28,178 --> 00:57:30,715
I think you need to change
that hat. Here you go.
1067
00:57:30,848 --> 00:57:32,693
Oh, that's gonna look
good. I'll get rid of this.
1068
00:57:32,717 --> 00:57:34,585
Okay, we may need to
rethink that strategy.
1069
00:57:34,719 --> 00:57:36,320
Indiana, Florida, Pennsylvania.
1070
00:57:36,453 --> 00:57:38,823
I'll get Schweiker to connect
with Drew about Pennsylvania.
1071
00:57:38,956 --> 00:57:41,156
- I'll circle back to Ohio.
- Okay. I will take Florida,
1072
00:57:41,225 --> 00:57:43,561
and, Mike, why don't you go
talk with Rich and Marilynn...
1073
00:57:43,694 --> 00:57:45,038
- Marilynn. Okay.
- About Indiana? Okay?
1074
00:57:45,062 --> 00:57:46,764
Hey, hey. We gotta win
one for the Gipper.
1075
00:57:46,897 --> 00:57:48,733
- Huh?
- Come on!
1076
00:57:48,866 --> 00:57:51,435
- One, two, three! For the Gipper!
- Ready, go... What?
1077
00:57:51,602 --> 00:57:53,938
[newscaster] For the next
President of the United States,
1078
00:57:54,104 --> 00:57:58,676
California casts all 167
for Governor Ronald Reagan!
1079
00:57:58,809 --> 00:58:01,111
[cheering]
1080
00:58:01,245 --> 00:58:04,248
- Thank you, California.
- [laughter]
1081
00:58:04,414 --> 00:58:07,284
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
1082
00:58:07,451 --> 00:58:10,755
has 93 votes for Gerald Ford!
1083
00:58:10,888 --> 00:58:12,389
[crowd cheering]
1084
00:58:12,557 --> 00:58:16,727
The state of West Virginia
proudly presents its vote
1085
00:58:16,894 --> 00:58:21,165
on behalf of our party's
candidate for the presidency...
1086
00:58:24,301 --> 00:58:26,470
Twenty votes for
Gerald R. Ford.
1087
00:58:26,604 --> 00:58:29,339
[crowd cheering]
1088
00:58:33,611 --> 00:58:36,714
[buzzing]
1089
00:58:38,282 --> 00:58:41,018
[Viktor] There is no
defeat more bitter
1090
00:58:41,151 --> 00:58:42,953
than a political defeat,
1091
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:46,591
especially if you think
it is your last chance.
1092
00:58:46,757 --> 00:58:48,626
[Ford] And right now, I predict
1093
00:58:48,793 --> 00:58:51,996
that the American people
are going to say that night,
1094
00:58:52,162 --> 00:58:54,665
"Gerry, you've done a good job!
1095
00:58:54,799 --> 00:58:56,500
Keep right on doing it!"
1096
00:58:57,968 --> 00:58:59,837
Ford stole it, sir.
1097
00:58:59,970 --> 00:59:01,405
He was handing
out ambassadorship
1098
00:59:01,538 --> 00:59:03,874
and rides on Air Force
One like candy to babies.
1099
00:59:04,008 --> 00:59:06,310
[Reagan sighs]
Backstage politics.
1100
00:59:09,179 --> 00:59:10,314
[grunts, exhales]
1101
00:59:11,849 --> 00:59:14,652
What I really wanted,
Mike, was to be the guy
1102
00:59:14,819 --> 00:59:17,554
who finally got to say
"nyet" to the Soviets.
1103
00:59:22,459 --> 00:59:24,028
Guess it wasn't God's will.
1104
00:59:26,797 --> 00:59:28,899
[Viktor] Democrats
and Republicans
1105
00:59:29,066 --> 00:59:32,803
presented a united front
against us for 30 years.
1106
00:59:32,970 --> 00:59:37,507
But we sensed an opportunity with
the election of Jimmy Carter.
1107
00:59:38,308 --> 00:59:41,912
Then, in 1979,
1108
00:59:42,079 --> 00:59:45,482
my worst fears
began to take shape.
1109
00:59:45,650 --> 00:59:48,786
It is a crisis of confidence.
1110
00:59:48,919 --> 00:59:52,957
Yes, Jimmy, it's a crisis
of confidence, all right.
1111
00:59:54,558 --> 00:59:56,093
Are you listening to this?
1112
00:59:56,260 --> 00:59:58,462
We can see this
crisis drawing down...
1113
00:59:58,595 --> 01:00:01,598
We are the greatest country in the
world and we have just forgotten it.
1114
01:00:01,732 --> 01:00:03,332
[Jimmy Carter continues
speaking over TV]
1115
01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:05,035
Like I didn't see this coming.
1116
01:00:07,204 --> 01:00:08,472
It's okay to say it, Ronnie.
1117
01:00:11,075 --> 01:00:12,643
Okay. I'll say it.
1118
01:00:14,444 --> 01:00:15,880
I want to run again.
1119
01:00:24,388 --> 01:00:25,388
[sighs]
1120
01:00:27,557 --> 01:00:29,393
What do you think about that?
1121
01:00:30,761 --> 01:00:32,396
If I can do it all again...
1122
01:00:33,764 --> 01:00:35,165
[sighs]
1123
01:00:35,299 --> 01:00:38,635
The public scrutiny, the
attacks on your character,
1124
01:00:38,769 --> 01:00:40,070
all the lies.
1125
01:00:42,807 --> 01:00:44,008
But mainly,
1126
01:00:45,142 --> 01:00:46,643
I want you to be happy.
1127
01:00:47,778 --> 01:00:52,516
Well, you've already made me
the happiest man in the world.
1128
01:00:52,649 --> 01:00:53,684
[both chuckle]
1129
01:00:58,756 --> 01:01:01,658
I've had to share
you my whole life.
1130
01:01:01,792 --> 01:01:04,695
But... that's what
I signed up for,
1131
01:01:06,330 --> 01:01:09,099
and who I fell in
love with. Hmm.
1132
01:01:09,233 --> 01:01:10,300
[exhales]
1133
01:01:11,802 --> 01:01:13,503
It's not over for you, Ronnie.
1134
01:01:15,339 --> 01:01:16,941
You know what you have to do.
1135
01:01:18,408 --> 01:01:20,010
And this time...
1136
01:01:20,144 --> 01:01:21,378
- Win it.
- Win it.
1137
01:01:21,511 --> 01:01:23,948
[Nancy chuckles]
1138
01:01:34,158 --> 01:01:36,293
No, Mr. President,
1139
01:01:36,426 --> 01:01:39,396
we don't have
double-digit inflation
1140
01:01:39,529 --> 01:01:41,498
because the people
are living too well.
1141
01:01:41,631 --> 01:01:46,203
We have double-digit inflation because
the government is living too well.
1142
01:01:47,304 --> 01:01:51,341
Our first priority must
always be world peace.
1143
01:01:52,276 --> 01:01:55,679
The use of force is
always the last resort.
1144
01:01:55,813 --> 01:01:58,213
These are the kind of elements
of a national health insurance
1145
01:01:58,315 --> 01:01:59,917
important to the
American people.
1146
01:02:00,050 --> 01:02:04,088
Governor Reagan, again, typically
is against such a proposal.
1147
01:02:04,221 --> 01:02:05,489
[sneers]
1148
01:02:05,622 --> 01:02:08,092
- There you go again.
- [audience laughs]
1149
01:02:08,225 --> 01:02:12,329
Next Tuesday, you will all go to
the polls and make a decision.
1150
01:02:12,462 --> 01:02:14,198
And when you make that decision,
1151
01:02:14,331 --> 01:02:16,500
I think it would be
well to ask yourself,
1152
01:02:17,367 --> 01:02:20,137
are you better off than
you were four years ago?
1153
01:02:20,304 --> 01:02:24,942
Is it easier to buy things in the
store than it was four years ago?
1154
01:02:25,843 --> 01:02:29,379
Is there more or less
unemployment in the country?
1155
01:02:29,546 --> 01:02:33,383
Is America as respected
throughout the world?
1156
01:02:33,550 --> 01:02:35,986
Do you feel as safe?
1157
01:02:36,153 --> 01:02:41,025
Are we as strong as we
were four years ago?
1158
01:02:41,191 --> 01:02:44,228
If your answers are "yes,"
1159
01:02:44,394 --> 01:02:47,031
then I think it is obvious
who you will vote for.
1160
01:02:48,698 --> 01:02:50,134
But if you don't agree...
1161
01:02:52,602 --> 01:02:55,272
then may I suggest
another choice.
1162
01:02:57,674 --> 01:02:59,776
And will, to the
best of my ability.
1163
01:02:59,910 --> 01:03:02,212
[Berger] Preserve,
protect and defend.
1164
01:03:02,346 --> 01:03:04,214
Preserve, protect and defend.
1165
01:03:04,348 --> 01:03:06,216
The Constitution of
the United States.
1166
01:03:06,350 --> 01:03:08,618
The Constitution of
the United States.
1167
01:03:08,752 --> 01:03:10,888
- So help you God.
- So help me God.
1168
01:03:11,021 --> 01:03:12,389
Congratulations, sir.
1169
01:03:13,457 --> 01:03:15,893
[crowd cheering]
1170
01:03:17,194 --> 01:03:20,064
[Reagan] We will again be
the exemplar of freedom
1171
01:03:20,230 --> 01:03:23,767
and the beacon of hope for those
who do not now have freedom.
1172
01:03:25,102 --> 01:03:27,571
As for the enemies of freedom,
1173
01:03:27,704 --> 01:03:29,406
they will be reminded
1174
01:03:29,573 --> 01:03:32,809
that peace is the
highest aspiration
1175
01:03:32,977 --> 01:03:34,879
of the American people.
1176
01:03:35,045 --> 01:03:39,416
We will negotiate for
it, sacrifice for it,
1177
01:03:39,583 --> 01:03:43,220
but we will not
surrender for it.
1178
01:03:43,387 --> 01:03:45,622
Now or ever.
1179
01:03:45,755 --> 01:03:47,191

[hopeful music playing]
1182
01:04:22,492 --> 01:04:26,696
James Baker whips our butt
in '76 working for Ford,
1183
01:04:26,830 --> 01:04:29,566
- now he's Chief of Staff.
- Well, that's why he's Chief of Staff.
1184
01:04:29,699 --> 01:04:32,802
Ed, someone who agrees
with you 80% of the time
1185
01:04:32,937 --> 01:04:35,906
is an 80% friend,
not a 20% enemy.
1186
01:04:36,806 --> 01:04:37,874
Excuse me.
1187
01:04:39,276 --> 01:04:41,578
- Mr. Speaker.
- Mr. President.
1188
01:04:41,711 --> 01:04:44,414
Congratulations.
Welcome to the Bigs.
1189
01:04:44,548 --> 01:04:47,084
Now you enjoy tonight because
tomorrow, we go to work.
1190
01:04:47,217 --> 01:04:49,686
Well, I've been
well-briefed on you, Tip.
1191
01:04:49,819 --> 01:04:52,356
I've been told I better get
a pretty good head start.
1192
01:04:52,489 --> 01:04:55,059
- Ah, that's very Irish of you.
- Yes.
1193
01:04:55,192 --> 01:04:58,662
You plan on going ten rounds every
day, that's how we do things here.
1194
01:04:58,795 --> 01:05:01,865
All right. Just remember,
every day has a 6:00 p.m.
1195
01:05:01,999 --> 01:05:03,400
What do you mean by that, sir?
1196
01:05:03,533 --> 01:05:05,936
Well, after 6:00, we're
not political enemies.
1197
01:05:06,070 --> 01:05:07,550
We're just two
Irishmen having a beer.
1198
01:05:09,239 --> 01:05:10,239
Deal.

Good morning,
everyone, good morning.

Now the father can't find
his little optimistic son
1227
01:06:52,442 --> 01:06:56,480
so he calls out to him and the little
boy pops out of that huge pile of manure,

says, "Yes, Dad?"

are you doing in there?"

And the little boy says,
"Well, with all this manure,
1231
01:07:03,453 --> 01:07:06,022
I know there's gotta be a
pony in there somewhere."

Anyway, that was my
father's favorite joke.
1234
01:07:11,027 --> 01:07:15,165
And, ladies and gentlemen,
we have a pony ourselves,
1235
01:07:15,299 --> 01:07:17,301
and it's the American people,
1236
01:07:17,434 --> 01:07:20,470
and we're gonna do everything
for them that we can.
1237

We just have to dig 'em out. Mm.

He wasn't President

for a year and a half.

It was morning in America,

as his supporters would say.
1243
01:07:40,190 --> 01:07:42,726

01:15:17,681 --> 01:15:19,983
And he had a philosophy
that really hit home
1375
01:15:20,116 --> 01:15:23,820
when I was in the 94%
tax bracket in Hollywood.
1376
01:15:23,953 --> 01:15:27,991
And that is when taxes are
low, people have more money.
1377
01:15:28,124 --> 01:15:31,194
And when people have more
money, they buy more things.
1378
01:15:31,327 --> 01:15:34,631
Now, these things have to
be made by other people
1379
01:15:34,764 --> 01:15:38,868
who have to hire more
people to help them do that.
1380
01:15:39,002 --> 01:15:41,404
And as for taxes,
1381
01:15:41,537 --> 01:15:43,640
well, the good Lord
only asks for 10%,
1382
01:15:43,773 --> 01:15:46,710
why should Uncle
Sam ask for more?
1383
01:15:46,843 --> 01:15:48,511
- [laughter]
- Mr. President,
1384
01:15:48,645 --> 01:15:51,147
the Air Traffic Controllers
are threatening a strike.
1385
01:15:51,280 --> 01:15:53,249
- Well, can they do that?
- No, sir.
1386
01:15:53,382 --> 01:15:54,862
- Legally?
- Essential public service,
1387
01:15:54,984 --> 01:15:57,587
they have all signed
a no-strike contract.
1388
01:15:57,721 --> 01:15:59,589
A contract is a contract.
1389
01:16:00,690 --> 01:16:02,592
That's the way I learned it.
1390
01:16:02,726 --> 01:16:04,861
They forfeited their jobs.
1391
01:16:06,763 --> 01:16:11,067
[Viktor] If he was willing to
risk chaos in his own country,
1392
01:16:11,234 --> 01:16:14,403
we could only imagine
what he might do to us.
1393
01:16:15,371 --> 01:16:17,907
- [shutter clicking fast]
- [clacks]
1394
01:16:18,041 --> 01:16:22,011
The Soviets are conducting full
exercises right out in the open.
1395
01:16:22,145 --> 01:16:24,347
German border is quiet but
it looks like they're moving
1396
01:16:24,480 --> 01:16:26,549
some brand new SS-20s by rail.
1397
01:16:26,683 --> 01:16:29,385
That's confirmed. They're
20 miles east of Berlin.
1398
01:16:30,486 --> 01:16:33,790
Each rail car contains a ballistic
missile with a nuclear warhead.
1399
01:16:33,923 --> 01:16:36,459
John, how many nuclear
missiles do they have?
1400
01:16:36,592 --> 01:16:37,761
Thirty-five thousand.
1401
01:16:37,894 --> 01:16:39,896
- Officially.
- And us?
1402
01:16:40,029 --> 01:16:41,731
Twenty-five and change, sir.
1403
01:16:41,865 --> 01:16:45,234
So roughly 60,000
nuclear warheads
1404
01:16:45,368 --> 01:16:48,137
pointed at each other, each
one can take out a city.
1405
01:16:48,271 --> 01:16:50,106
That's about the size
of it, Mr. President.
1406
01:16:50,239 --> 01:16:52,375
So while we have been,
1407
01:16:52,508 --> 01:16:55,111
over the past ten years,
reducing our military,
1408
01:16:55,244 --> 01:16:57,146
they've been building
up their arsenal
1409
01:16:57,280 --> 01:16:59,315
and thumbing their noses at us,
1410
01:16:59,448 --> 01:17:02,418
violating every treaty
that we have with them.
1411
01:17:02,551 --> 01:17:04,791
More than possible, sir, that's
exactly what's happening.
1412
01:17:04,921 --> 01:17:08,792
And what have we done about it
except take a picture of it?
1413
01:17:08,925 --> 01:17:11,761
Well, after you fire off
the first thousand or so,
1414
01:17:11,895 --> 01:17:14,097
there's no one around
to keep score, is there?
1415
01:17:14,230 --> 01:17:15,231
It's insane.
1416
01:17:16,365 --> 01:17:19,736
One little mistake,
somebody has too much vodka,
1417
01:17:21,104 --> 01:17:22,305
none of this matters.
1418
01:17:23,439 --> 01:17:27,076
[tense music playing]
1419
01:17:27,210 --> 01:17:28,712
- [clacks]
- [crowd cheering]
1420
01:17:28,878 --> 01:17:30,856
[reporter] Thousands were
gathered in St. Peter's Square
1421
01:17:30,880 --> 01:17:34,317
at the Vatican today, cheering
the arrival of the Pope.
1422
01:17:34,483 --> 01:17:38,121
But soon, gunshots turn the
celebration into horror,
1423
01:17:38,287 --> 01:17:41,791
as the Pope collapsed
into the arms of his aids.
1424
01:17:41,925 --> 01:17:44,427
He's in surgery.
The official story
1425
01:17:44,560 --> 01:17:46,930
is that he was grazed
but it's worse than that.
1426
01:17:47,063 --> 01:17:49,265
- They gave him his last rites.
- [newspaper thuds]
1427
01:17:50,333 --> 01:17:51,801
What do we know?
1428
01:17:51,935 --> 01:17:53,746
[Casey] John Paul is from
Poland under Soviet control.
1429
01:17:53,770 --> 01:17:55,772
Polish people want
self-rule and democracy.
1430
01:17:55,905 --> 01:17:57,974
Solidarity movement is
taking over the nation.
1431
01:17:58,107 --> 01:18:00,276
The Pope is with them,
1432
01:18:00,409 --> 01:18:03,046
basically giving Moscow the
middle finger because he can.
1433
01:18:03,179 --> 01:18:05,982
Visit to the homeland is
basically the second coming.
1434
01:18:06,115 --> 01:18:09,285
The writing's on the wall, this comes
from Moscow via Bulgaria, Mr. President.
1435
01:18:09,418 --> 01:18:11,320
This is KGB all the way.
1436
01:18:11,454 --> 01:18:13,056
Well, that doesn't
make sense, Bill.
1437
01:18:13,189 --> 01:18:14,958
They're either gonna
create a martyr
1438
01:18:15,091 --> 01:18:17,861
or they're gonna unleash
the Catholic Church
1439
01:18:17,994 --> 01:18:19,228
against themselves.
1440
01:18:22,832 --> 01:18:23,900
They're scared.
1441
01:18:25,101 --> 01:18:26,369
[Viktor] The Pope lived.
1442
01:18:27,703 --> 01:18:29,773
And now, The
Crusader and the Pope
1443
01:18:29,939 --> 01:18:33,109
shared a bond of having
survived an assassin's bullet.
1444
01:18:33,276 --> 01:18:38,214
And his new ally just happened
to have a billion followers.
1445
01:18:38,347 --> 01:18:40,649
[crowd cheering]
1446
01:19:08,511 --> 01:19:10,046
[Viktor] Get out of Poland.
1447
01:19:10,213 --> 01:19:11,647
Get out of Afghanistan.
1448
01:19:11,815 --> 01:19:13,749
Throw away ten years of treaties
1449
01:19:13,917 --> 01:19:17,386
and eliminate all
nuclear missiles.
1450
01:19:17,553 --> 01:19:21,457
As they say in America,
Brezhnev's mind was blown.
1451
01:19:26,595 --> 01:19:27,596
He scribbles
1452
01:19:28,564 --> 01:19:32,435
a personal note to
me on yellow paper?
1453
01:19:32,568 --> 01:19:34,871
The President of
the United States?
1454
01:19:37,006 --> 01:19:38,574
Now we know who shot him.
1455
01:19:40,243 --> 01:19:41,878
His own State Department.
1456
01:19:42,011 --> 01:19:44,247
[grunts softly] Eh?
1457
01:19:44,380 --> 01:19:46,215
[Viktor] No, thank you.
1458
01:19:46,349 --> 01:19:49,986
- [chuckles]
- [alcohol pours]
1459
01:19:50,153 --> 01:19:54,023
[Viktor] And now, enter
his new Secretary of State,
1460
01:19:54,190 --> 01:19:58,594
- George Shultz, the Tiger Man.
- [Andrei] The who?
1461
01:19:58,727 --> 01:20:01,497
He had a tattoo of
a tiger on his ass.
1462
01:20:01,630 --> 01:20:02,798
How do we know that?
1463
01:20:02,932 --> 01:20:05,101
KGB. Here.
1464
01:20:10,739 --> 01:20:13,809
[Reagan] We'll just get this
little ceremony over with.
1465
01:20:13,943 --> 01:20:16,946
This is what I used to quit
smoking back in the '60s.
1466
01:20:17,080 --> 01:20:18,481
[chuckling]
1467
01:20:18,614 --> 01:20:19,682
Oh, I knew it.
1468
01:20:20,950 --> 01:20:23,252
- I knew it.
- [Shultz] What?
1469
01:20:23,386 --> 01:20:25,688
Well, you can tell a lot
about a man's character
1470
01:20:25,821 --> 01:20:28,091
by if he chooses just one color
1471
01:20:28,224 --> 01:20:29,592
or if he grabs a handful.
1472
01:20:29,725 --> 01:20:31,094
[Shultz] I see.
1473
01:20:31,227 --> 01:20:33,262
And, uh, what does this
say about my character?
1474
01:20:33,396 --> 01:20:35,664
It says that you're focused,
1475
01:20:35,798 --> 01:20:37,366
you're determined,
1476
01:20:37,500 --> 01:20:39,168
and that you're not
easily distracted.
1477
01:20:39,302 --> 01:20:40,636
You're gonna do great here.
1478
01:20:41,570 --> 01:20:43,606
Okay, then. [laughs]
1479
01:20:43,739 --> 01:20:47,043
[Reagan] America has
hired us to do two things.
1480
01:20:47,176 --> 01:20:50,113
Let them be prosperous again,
1481
01:20:51,180 --> 01:20:52,548
and keep them safe.
1482
01:20:52,681 --> 01:20:54,283
Peace through strength.
1483
01:20:54,417 --> 01:20:55,518
May I speak freely?
1484
01:20:55,651 --> 01:20:56,953
I expect it.
1485
01:20:57,086 --> 01:20:59,488
Clarity is power.
1486
01:20:59,622 --> 01:21:02,491
Now, I believe you are
clear in these objectives.
1487
01:21:02,625 --> 01:21:04,493
Now, the rest of the
world needs to be.
1488
01:21:04,627 --> 01:21:06,695
As long as those objectives
are your objectives.
1489
01:21:06,829 --> 01:21:08,864
They are, Mr. Clark.
Which isn't to say
1490
01:21:08,998 --> 01:21:11,667
that I won't push
back or voice opinions
1491
01:21:11,800 --> 01:21:14,170
if I see conflict
in those objectives.
1492
01:21:14,303 --> 01:21:16,039
That's exactly why I chose you.
1493
01:21:16,172 --> 01:21:17,907
Peace through
strength is, it's...
1494
01:21:18,041 --> 01:21:19,742
It's just a-a bit opaque.
1495
01:21:19,875 --> 01:21:23,412
I-I need you to articulate
a message about the Soviets
1496
01:21:23,546 --> 01:21:25,248
that I can take to the world.
1497
01:21:26,715 --> 01:21:28,017
Well, that's simple.
1498
01:21:28,952 --> 01:21:30,053
We win.
1499
01:21:30,186 --> 01:21:31,420
They lose.
1500
01:21:31,554 --> 01:21:32,855
And you can quote me.
1501
01:21:32,989 --> 01:21:35,758
[laughter]
1502
01:21:35,891 --> 01:21:37,326
Well, that's a clear message.
1503
01:21:37,460 --> 01:21:38,460
[chuckles]
1504
01:21:41,397 --> 01:21:44,367
[hopeful music playing]
1505
01:22:07,023 --> 01:22:09,358
- Hey, Dutch, where you going?
- Come on, Dutch!
1506
01:22:09,492 --> 01:22:10,759
[laughter]
1507
01:22:10,893 --> 01:22:12,795
- Scaredy-cat!
- Four eyes!
1508
01:22:12,928 --> 01:22:14,539
[Nelle] That's the boy
that's been threatening you?
1509
01:22:14,563 --> 01:22:16,599
- [Dutch] Every day.
- [bully] Get over here!
1510
01:22:18,101 --> 01:22:21,137
- Mama's boy.
- He'll be there tomorrow too.
1511
01:22:21,270 --> 01:22:23,572
That's what bullies do
until you stand up to them.
1512
01:22:24,573 --> 01:22:26,133
It's time for you to
settle this, Dutch.
1513
01:22:27,076 --> 01:22:28,076
Go on.
1514
01:22:31,180 --> 01:22:32,881
[bully taunting]
1515
01:22:33,016 --> 01:22:34,150
Come on, Mama's boy.
1516
01:22:36,919 --> 01:22:39,288
- [bully taunting]
- [sidekicks laughing]
1517
01:22:40,923 --> 01:22:42,558
- Get him.
- [punch lands]
1518
01:22:42,691 --> 01:22:44,593
- [taunting]
- [punches landing]
1519
01:22:44,727 --> 01:22:46,462
- [grunting]
- [punches landing]
1520
01:22:56,905 --> 01:23:00,476
[police siren wailing]
1521
01:23:06,449 --> 01:23:08,117
[sighs]
1522
01:23:08,251 --> 01:23:10,653
[pen scratching]
1523
01:23:14,423 --> 01:23:15,924
It's a little soft.
1524
01:23:16,959 --> 01:23:18,127
We'll get it there, sir.
1525
01:23:20,463 --> 01:23:23,099
- Dana? A word.
- [door opens]
1526
01:23:23,232 --> 01:23:24,867
- [pen holder clinks]
- [door closes]
1527
01:23:30,773 --> 01:23:34,343
Well, I see you still have
one foot in California.
1528
01:23:37,446 --> 01:23:41,784
I am about to start the
biggest war of this century.
1529
01:23:42,918 --> 01:23:44,053
Maybe of all time.
1530
01:23:45,454 --> 01:23:47,556
And I'm not gonna
fire a single shot.
1531
01:23:48,624 --> 01:23:50,393
I'm gonna fight it with words.
1532
01:23:52,095 --> 01:23:56,399
And they have to count
every single one of them.
1533
01:23:56,532 --> 01:23:59,135
So say what you mean,
1534
01:23:59,268 --> 01:24:00,636
mean what you say.
1535
01:24:02,371 --> 01:24:04,873
I need the guy who
camped out in my yard.
1536
01:24:05,007 --> 01:24:06,007
You understand?
1537
01:24:08,377 --> 01:24:10,746
- [hopeful music playing]
- [birds chirping]
1538
01:24:10,879 --> 01:24:12,881
[audience applauds]
1539
01:24:16,119 --> 01:24:17,653
[Reagan] And let us pray
1540
01:24:17,786 --> 01:24:19,888
for the salvation
of those who live
1541
01:24:20,022 --> 01:24:22,158
in that totalitarian darkness.
1542
01:24:23,359 --> 01:24:26,028
Let us pray that
they will discover
1543
01:24:26,162 --> 01:24:27,996
the joy of knowing God
1544
01:24:28,697 --> 01:24:31,934
and let us be aware that
while their unelected leaders
1545
01:24:32,067 --> 01:24:34,437
preach the supremacy
of the State,
1546
01:24:34,570 --> 01:24:38,207
declare its omnipotence
over individual man
1547
01:24:38,341 --> 01:24:40,276
and predict its
eventual domination
1548
01:24:40,409 --> 01:24:42,345
of all the peoples of the Earth,
1549
01:24:42,478 --> 01:24:46,048
they are the focus of
evil in the modern world.
1550
01:24:47,516 --> 01:24:48,784
It was C.S. Lewis,
1551
01:24:48,951 --> 01:24:53,222
who in his magnificent
Screwtape Letters wrote,
1552
01:24:53,356 --> 01:24:55,891
"The greatest evil is not done
1553
01:24:56,024 --> 01:24:59,528
in those sordid dens of crime
that Dickens loved to paint
1554
01:24:59,695 --> 01:25:04,733
nor is it done in the concentration
camps and labor camps.
1555
01:25:04,900 --> 01:25:08,271
In them, we see
its final result.
1556
01:25:08,437 --> 01:25:10,873
But it is conceived and ordered
1557
01:25:11,039 --> 01:25:15,378
in clear, carpeted, warmed,
and well-lighted offices
1558
01:25:15,544 --> 01:25:19,348
by quiet men with white
collars and cut fingernails
1559
01:25:19,515 --> 01:25:21,584
who do not need to
raise their voices,
1560
01:25:21,750 --> 01:25:25,521
but speak in soothing tones
of brotherhood and peace."
1561
01:25:26,455 --> 01:25:30,359
Beware the temptation to
ignore the facts of history,
1562
01:25:30,526 --> 01:25:34,062
and the aggressive
impulses of an evil empire.
1563
01:25:34,197 --> 01:25:35,931
[crowd cheers, applauds]
1564
01:25:36,064 --> 01:25:37,064
Yes!
1565
01:25:41,870 --> 01:25:44,473
I think the President's words
were a little irresponsible.
1566
01:25:44,640 --> 01:25:47,576
Last thing we need to do
is heat this Cold War up.
1567
01:25:47,743 --> 01:25:50,246
- [scoffs] - While the President
clearly thought tonight...
1568
01:25:50,379 --> 01:25:52,348
What is wrong with these people?
1569
01:25:52,481 --> 01:25:54,149
I mean, whose side
are they on, anyway?
1570
01:25:54,283 --> 01:25:58,187
Oh, honey, you can't pay
any attention to that.
1571
01:25:58,321 --> 01:26:01,824
But I have to. Most of the country
is paying attention to them.
1572
01:26:01,957 --> 01:26:05,661
Well, if you think that got their
undies in a wad, you just wait.
1573
01:26:06,662 --> 01:26:10,333
We have prevented nuclear war
for more than three decades.
1574
01:26:10,466 --> 01:26:14,470
Recently, however, it has become
clear we cannot rely solely
1575
01:26:14,603 --> 01:26:18,006
on offensive retaliation
to maintain peace.
1576
01:26:18,140 --> 01:26:20,476
I call upon the
scientific community,
1577
01:26:20,609 --> 01:26:22,878
those who gave us
nuclear weapons
1578
01:26:23,011 --> 01:26:28,217
to turn their great talents now to
the cause of mankind and world peace.
1579
01:26:28,351 --> 01:26:30,986
To build this defensive
"missile shield,"
1580
01:26:31,153 --> 01:26:34,857
rendering these weapons
impotent and obsolete.
1581
01:26:35,023 --> 01:26:36,659
If we take these measures...
1582
01:26:36,825 --> 01:26:40,062
[Viktor] He got the idea from
a movie he starred in, in 1940.
1583
01:26:40,929 --> 01:26:45,701
And with his economy booming,
he now had the money to spend.
1584
01:26:47,270 --> 01:26:48,637
But it didn't exist.
1585
01:26:48,771 --> 01:26:49,771
Small detail.
1586
01:26:50,939 --> 01:26:53,041
- Small detail?
- Let's just say
1587
01:26:53,175 --> 01:26:55,978
he was characteristically
optimistic.
1588
01:26:56,111 --> 01:26:57,480
So he was lying.
1589
01:26:57,613 --> 01:26:59,147
Here. Eat something.
1590
01:26:59,282 --> 01:27:00,816
Viktor Petrovich,
it didn't exist.
1591
01:27:00,949 --> 01:27:02,184
It was science fiction.
1592
01:27:02,318 --> 01:27:04,987
But the missiles, missiles did!
1593
01:27:05,120 --> 01:27:06,322
Doesn't matter.
1594
01:27:07,055 --> 01:27:09,558
The Crusader was
making his move.
1595
01:27:09,692 --> 01:27:11,193
And we knew it.
1596
01:27:14,363 --> 01:27:15,764
And then something happened.
1597
01:27:18,133 --> 01:27:19,201
Like what?
1598
01:27:21,670 --> 01:27:23,706
[engines whirring]
1599
01:27:28,877 --> 01:27:30,879
[FA speaking Korean]
1600
01:27:32,147 --> 01:27:36,018
[whooshing]
1601
01:27:36,184 --> 01:27:39,755
[pilot] Korean Airlines,
you are in Soviet airspace.
1602
01:27:39,888 --> 01:27:41,290
Move out now.
1603
01:27:43,526 --> 01:27:44,960
[call button chimes]
1604
01:27:46,094 --> 01:27:49,231
[chattering in Korean]
1605
01:27:52,067 --> 01:27:53,502
[tense music playing]
1606
01:27:53,669 --> 01:27:55,237
[pilot] Command,
there is no response.
1607
01:27:55,404 --> 01:27:57,072
Appears to be commercial flight.
1608
01:27:57,239 --> 01:27:59,542
- [comm officer] Shoot it down.
- [pilot] Are you sure?
1609
01:27:59,708 --> 01:28:01,477
I see flashing indicators.
1610
01:28:01,644 --> 01:28:04,313
- [comm officer] Shoot it down.
- [pilot] Copy that.
1611
01:28:17,860 --> 01:28:21,229
[distant screaming]
1612
01:28:24,600 --> 01:28:26,068
A civilian airliner?
1613
01:28:26,234 --> 01:28:27,703
[Anatoly] CIA spy plane.
1614
01:28:27,870 --> 01:28:29,438
They were warned repeatedly.
1615
01:28:29,572 --> 01:28:31,507
It was a commercial flight!
1616
01:28:31,640 --> 01:28:33,609
Two hundred and
sixty-nine people
1617
01:28:33,776 --> 01:28:35,077
are dead, Anatoly,
1618
01:28:35,243 --> 01:28:36,979
including one of
our congressman!
1619
01:28:37,112 --> 01:28:39,281
- [man] George...
- You crossed a line.
1620
01:28:49,692 --> 01:28:53,529
[reporter 1] Tensions between the Cold
War adversaries continue to escalate.
1621
01:28:53,696 --> 01:28:56,432
[reporter 2] President Reagan
called it an act of barbarism.
1622
01:28:56,599 --> 01:28:59,635
[reporter 3] NATO forces
remain on alert across Europe.
1623
01:28:59,802 --> 01:29:01,970
[reporter 4] Many are
concerned at home and abroad
1624
01:29:02,137 --> 01:29:05,307
that these actions bring the
United States and the Soviet Union
1625
01:29:05,474 --> 01:29:08,343
a step closer to a
direct military conflict.
1626
01:29:09,878 --> 01:29:11,614
[Viktor] And three weeks later,
1627
01:29:11,780 --> 01:29:15,784
our radar systems
detected the unthinkable.
1628
01:29:15,918 --> 01:29:17,886
[clanks]
1629
01:29:18,053 --> 01:29:21,056
[Viktor] Triggering a
terrifying response of action.
1630
01:29:24,259 --> 01:29:27,229
- This is not a drill.
- Do we have confirmation on this?
1631
01:29:27,362 --> 01:29:28,997
Soviets are heating
up six sites.
1632
01:29:29,131 --> 01:29:30,866
That's 18 million
American lives.
1633
01:29:30,999 --> 01:29:32,243
They think we're launching, sir.
1634
01:29:32,267 --> 01:29:33,469
Prepare for DEFCON 1.
1635
01:29:33,602 --> 01:29:35,571
I need confirmation.
1636
01:29:35,704 --> 01:29:39,842
Mr. President, if this is real, we
won't have time for confirmation.
1637
01:29:44,012 --> 01:29:45,581
We need a decision.
1638
01:29:51,119 --> 01:29:53,055
[computer beeping]
1639
01:29:53,188 --> 01:29:57,325
[beeping]
1640
01:30:11,840 --> 01:30:14,777
[tense music playing]

[phone rings]
1642
01:30:48,511 --> 01:30:50,479
They're aborting, sir.
They're standing down.
1643
01:30:50,613 --> 01:30:52,881
- [sighs of relief]
- Okay, sir. I'll let them know.
1644
01:30:53,015 --> 01:30:55,651
- [sigh]
- We're that close.
1645
01:30:55,784 --> 01:30:58,587
Looks like a flock of geese
triggered a positive radar hit.
1646
01:30:58,721 --> 01:30:59,922
- Ah, Jesus.
- Ah.
1647
01:31:01,223 --> 01:31:02,625
I can't believe it.
1648
01:31:04,493 --> 01:31:07,796
[Viktor] The Cold War
was in full swing.
1649
01:31:07,963 --> 01:31:11,767
The Crusader knew he had
to keep the pressure on us,
1650
01:31:11,934 --> 01:31:14,903
but making sure there
were no more mistakes.
1651
01:31:16,138 --> 01:31:20,308
But before he could resume
his crusade against us,
1652
01:31:20,475 --> 01:31:22,511
he would have to
face his voters.
1653
01:31:23,612 --> 01:31:28,150
And let's just say, not everyone
thought he was the right choice.
1654
01:31:28,283 --> 01:31:31,086
[geese quacking]
1655

Ah. Goody two-shoes.

Mr. Mondale's poll numbers
have been steadily rising.
1665
01:32:51,800 --> 01:32:55,403
Concerns have been raised as
the President has stumbled,
1666
01:32:55,570 --> 01:32:57,539
appearing tired in
the last debate.
1667
01:32:57,706 --> 01:33:00,208
President Reagan
could very well end up
1668
01:33:00,342 --> 01:33:02,110
a one-term president.
1669
01:33:05,513 --> 01:33:07,582
So how do you adjust
for inflation, uh,
1670
01:33:07,716 --> 01:33:10,786
between the six and twelve
percent projections?
1671
01:33:10,919 --> 01:33:12,788
Well, you know,
1672
01:33:13,722 --> 01:33:17,225
that with the adding
of four million...

Okay.

01:33:33,075 --> 01:33:35,410
Stop. Stop.
1679
01:33:36,378 --> 01:33:37,713
I need a break.

01:33:46,388 --> 01:33:48,056
w-we just need to do
this all over again.

01:33:48,190 --> 01:33:50,292
No. I've had enough, Ed.

what's your favorite movie?

The Sound of Music.
1687
01:33:58,433 --> 01:34:00,002
What do you say,
you and Mrs. Reagan
1688
01:34:00,135 --> 01:34:01,670
get together and
watch it tonight?
1689
01:34:01,804 --> 01:34:03,605
Relax, calm your mind.
1690
01:34:03,739 --> 01:34:05,183
You'll be back in
the saddle tomorrow.
1691
01:34:05,207 --> 01:34:07,442
And we'll be ready to go.

why don't you let

01:34:31,466 --> 01:34:32,466
Okay?

Uh, anybody else have...

01:34:39,274 --> 01:34:40,909
Aha. Martha?
1702
01:34:41,043 --> 01:34:42,077
[Martha] Yes, Father.
1703
01:34:42,244 --> 01:34:43,244
You tell me.
1704
01:34:44,512 --> 01:34:46,181
Friedrich told you, Father.
1705
01:34:47,115 --> 01:34:48,683
We were berry picking.
1706
01:34:48,851 --> 01:34:51,920
[von Trapp] I forgot!
You were berry picking.
1707
01:34:52,087 --> 01:34:53,621
- [kids] Yes!
- We love berry picking.
1708
01:34:53,789 --> 01:34:55,066
- [von Trapp] All afternoon?
- Mm-hmm!
1709
01:34:55,090 --> 01:34:57,125
- [Martha] We picked thousands.
- Thousands?
1710
01:34:57,292 --> 01:34:59,094
They were all over the place.
1711
01:34:59,261 --> 01:35:00,541
[von Trapp] What
kind of berries?
1712
01:35:00,695 --> 01:35:02,464
- [Maria] Blueberries, sir.
- Blueberries!
1713
01:35:02,630 --> 01:35:04,166
- Yes!
- Yes! Blue!
1714
01:35:05,500 --> 01:35:08,403
[von Trapp] It's, uh, too
early for blueberries.
1715
01:35:09,772 --> 01:35:11,406
[Maria] They were strawberries.
1716
01:35:11,573 --> 01:35:14,810
[host] Mr. Trewhitt, your
question to President Reagan.
1717
01:35:14,977 --> 01:35:17,977
Mr. President, I wanna raise an issue
that I think has been lurking out there
1718
01:35:18,113 --> 01:35:20,382
for two or three weeks,
and cast it specifically
1719
01:35:20,515 --> 01:35:22,417
in national security terms.
1720
01:35:22,550 --> 01:35:24,887
You already are the oldest
President in history
1721
01:35:25,020 --> 01:35:26,820
and some of your staff
say that you were tired
1722
01:35:26,855 --> 01:35:29,724
after your most recent
encounter with Mr. Mondale.
1723
01:35:29,858 --> 01:35:32,828
I recall yet that President
Kennedy had to go for days on end
1724
01:35:32,961 --> 01:35:35,363
with very little sleep during
the Cuban Missile Crisis.
1725
01:35:35,497 --> 01:35:38,009
Is there any doubt in your mind
that you would be able to function
1726
01:35:38,033 --> 01:35:39,768
in such circumstances?
1727
01:35:39,902 --> 01:35:41,870
Not at all, Mr. Trewhitt.
1728
01:35:42,004 --> 01:35:43,705
And I want you to
know that, also,
1729
01:35:43,839 --> 01:35:47,342
I will not make age an
issue in this campaign.
1730
01:35:47,475 --> 01:35:50,712
I will not for
political purposes,
1731
01:35:50,846 --> 01:35:54,216
exploit my opponent's
youth and inexperience.
1732
01:35:54,349 --> 01:35:58,186
[audience laughing, applauding]
1733
01:35:58,353 --> 01:36:00,856
[Viktor] And with that
one thrust of wit...
1734
01:36:06,394 --> 01:36:07,729
he turned the tide.
1735
01:36:07,863 --> 01:36:11,699
[upbeat music playing]
1736
01:36:17,840 --> 01:36:19,107
[crowd cheering]
1737
01:36:20,542 --> 01:36:26,381
[chanting] USA, USA, USA, USA!
1738
01:36:26,514 --> 01:36:28,583
[indistinct chatter]
1739
01:36:28,716 --> 01:36:30,785
- He'll be there.
- You wanted to see me, sir?
1740
01:36:31,719 --> 01:36:33,588
No, we'll figure it out.
1741
01:36:33,721 --> 01:36:35,991
- Yeah. Yeah, John.
- [sighs]
1742
01:36:36,124 --> 01:36:39,594
Uh, there's a rumor around here
that you're a... a horse guy.
1743
01:36:39,727 --> 01:36:41,396
Yup, I rode for Boston PD.
1744
01:36:41,529 --> 01:36:44,132
I've been riding my
whole life, really. Why?
1745
01:36:44,266 --> 01:36:46,377
We've been having some issues
at the Western White House
1746
01:36:46,401 --> 01:36:48,270
- out in California.
- What kind of issues?
1747
01:36:48,403 --> 01:36:49,437
Nobody can ride.
1748
01:36:50,305 --> 01:36:53,241
Yeah, Rawhide isn't gonna say
anything but it's pretty embarrassing
1749
01:36:53,375 --> 01:36:55,844
when one of ours has to walk
his horse when he wants to run.
1750
01:36:55,978 --> 01:36:57,079
You mean gallop.
1751
01:36:57,212 --> 01:36:58,212
Yeah. Whatever.
1752
01:36:59,281 --> 01:37:02,684
But, uh, do you wanna head up
that detail when we travel?
1753
01:37:05,453 --> 01:37:10,292
So I'd be riding horses with
the... with the President?
1754
01:37:11,226 --> 01:37:12,226
Giddyap.
1755
01:37:14,596 --> 01:37:16,331
- Okay.
- All right.
1756
01:37:20,702 --> 01:37:23,571
- [coughing] - [Viktor]
Unlike other presidents,
1757
01:37:23,738 --> 01:37:27,109
The Crusader was in no
rush to meet with us.
1758
01:37:28,143 --> 01:37:30,312
- This created a problem.
- [coughing]
1759
01:37:30,445 --> 01:37:35,817
[funeral march playing]
1760
01:37:35,951 --> 01:37:37,452
Here's the latest.
1761
01:37:37,585 --> 01:37:39,487
[grunts, groans]
1762
01:37:39,621 --> 01:37:43,725
[funeral march playing]
1763
01:37:46,461 --> 01:37:47,462
This here,
1764
01:37:48,663 --> 01:37:49,731
this is only...
1765
01:37:49,864 --> 01:37:51,833
[coughing]
1766
01:37:56,138 --> 01:38:00,708
[funeral march playing]
1767
01:38:03,478 --> 01:38:06,081
How can I talk to them
if they keep dying on me?
1768
01:38:11,519 --> 01:38:15,023
We are starving for energy, Ron,
and we've got to get it somewhere
1769
01:38:15,157 --> 01:38:17,692
and we can't afford
what we've been paying.
1770
01:38:17,825 --> 01:38:19,827
But buying it from
the Soviet Union?
1771
01:38:19,962 --> 01:38:24,699
You know that that money is going
directly into a missile pointed at you.
1772
01:38:24,832 --> 01:38:26,534
Mr. President,
1773
01:38:27,502 --> 01:38:29,337
give me an alternative.
1774
01:38:29,471 --> 01:38:34,509
The Saudis have agreed to
increase oil production,
1775
01:38:34,642 --> 01:38:37,879
as long as we buy it from
them, not the Russians.
1776
01:38:38,013 --> 01:38:41,416
And if we can get our
friends to go along with us.
1777
01:38:41,549 --> 01:38:44,886
And you can sell this
at home? To your Texans?
1778
01:38:45,020 --> 01:38:47,555
It will drop oil to under
ten dollars a barrel.
1779
01:38:47,689 --> 01:38:50,092
Oh, I'll take a political
hit for it, that's for sure.
1780
01:38:50,225 --> 01:38:52,694
And Texans love to make
money, yes, they do.
1781
01:38:52,827 --> 01:38:54,262
We all do.
1782
01:38:54,396 --> 01:38:56,564
But they love their
freedom even more.
1783
01:38:56,698 --> 01:39:01,603
First, the Evil
Empire and now this.
1784
01:39:01,736 --> 01:39:03,905
You're certainly not
looking to make friends.
1785
01:39:04,039 --> 01:39:05,307
No, I'm not.
1786
01:39:05,440 --> 01:39:07,275
But perhaps you should.
1787
01:39:07,409 --> 01:39:09,077
I met their new man, Gorbachev.
1788
01:39:09,211 --> 01:39:11,879
He is a very different
kind of Russian.
1789
01:39:12,014 --> 01:39:17,385
And I told him you were a
very, very different kind
1790
01:39:17,519 --> 01:39:19,121
of an American.
1791
01:39:22,924 --> 01:39:25,760
- Pushing up the draft. All right.
- Ah!
1792
01:39:25,893 --> 01:39:27,495
- Ow! Oh, oh.
- Hey, hey. Quiet. Shh!
1793
01:39:29,097 --> 01:39:31,399
Good evening. President
Reagan is in Geneva tonight
1794
01:39:31,566 --> 01:39:33,001
ready for the Gorbachev summit.
1795
01:39:33,135 --> 01:39:35,570
[tense music playing]
1796
01:39:35,703 --> 01:39:38,740
The baron is honored to
have you stay at his home
1797
01:39:38,873 --> 01:39:40,642
- for this occasion.
- Thank you.
1798
01:39:40,775 --> 01:39:42,677
Please let him know how
much we appreciate it.
1799
01:39:42,810 --> 01:39:46,648
Uh... [chuckles] The goldfish.
1800
01:39:46,781 --> 01:39:50,352
It seems that the baron's
son is very attached to it.
1801
01:39:50,485 --> 01:39:53,355
It needs to be fed
twice every day.
1802
01:39:53,488 --> 01:39:55,857
Well, I will, uh,
do it personally.
1803
01:39:55,990 --> 01:39:57,992
[Nancy chuckles]
1804
01:39:59,094 --> 01:40:02,097
There are a few things I
can do myself, you know?
1805
01:40:09,137 --> 01:40:11,206
- [aide] They've arrived.
- Oh.
1806
01:40:11,339 --> 01:40:13,308
Oh, then... Yes.
1807
01:40:15,009 --> 01:40:16,311
Here we go.
1808
01:40:16,444 --> 01:40:18,546
Oh, no. Coat off.
1809
01:40:18,680 --> 01:40:20,315
It's below freezing out there.
1810
01:40:20,448 --> 01:40:22,617
The whole world is watching
this meeting, George.
1811
01:40:22,750 --> 01:40:25,720
He needs to look his best, and
that overcoat is not working.
1812
01:40:25,853 --> 01:40:27,455
Well, you guys are
in charge of policy,
1813
01:40:27,589 --> 01:40:30,392
but even the leader of
the free world has a boss,
1814
01:40:30,525 --> 01:40:33,961
- and she's in charge of presentation.
- [chuckles]
1815
01:40:36,331 --> 01:40:38,266
[Viktor] And before
the summit had begun,
1816
01:40:38,433 --> 01:40:41,803
we found ourselves
already at a disadvantage,
1817
01:40:41,969 --> 01:40:45,507
as the President looked better
than the General Secretary.
1818
01:40:45,640 --> 01:40:50,678
[indistinct chatter]
1819
01:40:51,813 --> 01:40:54,516
[speaking Russian]
1820
01:40:54,649 --> 01:40:57,552
- Let me state at the outset.
- [continues in Russian]
1821
01:40:57,685 --> 01:40:59,721
You should have no illusions
1822
01:40:59,854 --> 01:41:01,856
that you can bankrupt us.
1823
01:41:02,023 --> 01:41:04,592
[Viktor] The Crusader
took it all in stride...
1824
01:41:04,759 --> 01:41:08,530
- We can match you on land...
- hearing it for what it was.
1825
01:41:08,663 --> 01:41:12,667
- [speaking Russian] -
[interpreter] and air and space.
1826
01:41:13,468 --> 01:41:14,769
[speaking Russian]
1827
01:41:14,936 --> 01:41:16,771
[Viktor] Mandatory
messaging from the Party.
1828
01:41:18,240 --> 01:41:19,774
[clears throat]
1829
01:41:19,907 --> 01:41:21,443
As I see it,
1830
01:41:21,576 --> 01:41:26,080
we don't mistrust each
other because we're armed.
1831
01:41:26,214 --> 01:41:28,015
- [translating in Russian]
- We're armed
1832
01:41:28,150 --> 01:41:30,685
because we mistrust each other.
1833
01:41:32,487 --> 01:41:36,057
But I think that we both agree
on the most important thing.
1834
01:41:36,758 --> 01:41:40,428
A nuclear war can never be won
1835
01:41:40,562 --> 01:41:42,864
and must never be fought.
1836
01:41:42,997 --> 01:41:46,401
- [translating in Russian]
- [soft music playing]
1837
01:41:46,534 --> 01:41:48,102
He's definitely ambiguous.
1838
01:41:48,236 --> 01:41:50,572
It's perfectly clear, there's
nothing ambiguous about it.
1839
01:41:50,705 --> 01:41:52,774
You come out ahead
as you usually do.
1840
01:41:52,907 --> 01:41:56,311
Violation after violation
of SALT I and II.
1841
01:41:56,444 --> 01:41:59,781
Violation? This is nothing more
than you militarizing space.
1842
01:41:59,914 --> 01:42:02,384
[indistinct,
overlapping chatter]
1843
01:42:02,517 --> 01:42:05,553
["This Is How The
World Ends" playing]
1844
01:42:05,720 --> 01:42:10,158
[Viktor] I saw a gentle smile
that never left his face.
1845
01:42:11,293 --> 01:42:15,463
He was disarming, but
still he was the zealot
1846
01:42:15,630 --> 01:42:17,865
that called us an Evil Empire.
1847
01:42:18,032 --> 01:42:20,335
And we could not
let our guard down.
1848
01:42:20,468 --> 01:42:23,771
You know, I used to
do a little acting
1849
01:42:23,905 --> 01:42:26,341
a couple hundred years
ago back in Hollywood.
1850
01:42:26,474 --> 01:42:29,010
Let me show you how we used
to handle this sort of thing.
1851
01:42:37,785 --> 01:42:38,785
Take two.
1852
01:42:41,823 --> 01:42:44,025
Hello, Mikhail. My name's Ron.
1853
01:42:48,663 --> 01:42:50,665
How would you like to
go for a little walk?
1854
01:42:55,570 --> 01:42:59,807
[indistinct chatter]
1855
01:43:04,279 --> 01:43:06,279
[Gorbachev] What they say
about you, Mr. President,
1856
01:43:06,348 --> 01:43:09,484
"He picks your pocket and
makes you feel good about it."
1857
01:43:09,617 --> 01:43:13,721
Well, I've had much worse said
about me before, way worse.
1858
01:43:13,855 --> 01:43:16,324
As have I. Hazard of our job.
1859
01:43:18,660 --> 01:43:20,127
I want to let you know
1860
01:43:21,028 --> 01:43:23,698
that we seek the
same thing, Mikhail.
1861
01:43:24,699 --> 01:43:26,033
Do we, Ron?
1862
01:43:27,001 --> 01:43:29,237
We are not here
because we need to be.
1863
01:43:29,371 --> 01:43:32,006
We desire peace, just as you do.
1864
01:43:32,874 --> 01:43:36,177
But your proposal
is not so simple.
1865
01:43:36,311 --> 01:43:39,514
Oh, actually, it is very simple.
1866
01:43:40,882 --> 01:43:42,183
It's just not easy.
1867
01:43:43,818 --> 01:43:48,356
But I believe that you
and I, we can do it.
1868
01:43:48,490 --> 01:43:50,258
In fact, we must.
1869
01:43:51,125 --> 01:43:52,427
The world demands it.
1870
01:43:52,560 --> 01:43:54,596
And after all, isn't
that who we work for?
1871
01:43:54,729 --> 01:43:57,332
The people and the man upstairs.
1872
01:43:57,465 --> 01:44:00,167
Ah. The man upstairs.
1873
01:44:01,403 --> 01:44:04,071
My grandmother was
a Christian woman,
1874
01:44:04,205 --> 01:44:06,173
go to church every day.
1875
01:44:06,308 --> 01:44:07,909
And after, would say,
1876
01:44:08,042 --> 01:44:10,445
"Mikhail, I went
to church today.
1877
01:44:10,578 --> 01:44:12,847
I prayed for the atheist.
1878
01:44:12,980 --> 01:44:14,916
I prayed for you."
1879
01:44:15,049 --> 01:44:18,420
Well, I think that your
grandmother and my mother
1880
01:44:18,553 --> 01:44:20,355
could have been
very good friends.
1881
01:44:22,089 --> 01:44:23,667
[Russian official] So
you're the Tiger Man.
1882
01:44:23,691 --> 01:44:25,893
Excuse me? Tiger Man?
1883
01:44:26,027 --> 01:44:28,696
I like American
baseball, very much.
1884
01:44:28,830 --> 01:44:30,231
Oh, yeah? Who's
your favorite team?
1885
01:44:30,365 --> 01:44:32,400
New York Yankees. And you?
1886
01:44:32,534 --> 01:44:34,569
Uh, St. Louis Cardinals.
1887
01:44:35,603 --> 01:44:38,072
Game 7, World Series.
1888
01:44:38,205 --> 01:44:41,576
Very sorry, but what series?
1889
01:44:41,709 --> 01:44:44,389
Oh, next time you're in the States,
I'll make sure you get to a game.
1890
01:44:46,448 --> 01:44:48,583
No, no, no, no. Let them talk.
1891
01:44:48,716 --> 01:44:50,552
You go in there, you're fired.
1892
01:44:54,088 --> 01:44:55,156
Tiger Man.
1893
01:44:56,290 --> 01:44:57,792
My proposal...
1894
01:44:59,060 --> 01:45:00,060
is this.
1895
01:45:00,795 --> 01:45:02,630
That you and I,
1896
01:45:02,764 --> 01:45:05,767
by the time that I leave office,
1897
01:45:05,900 --> 01:45:10,137
can reduce our missile
counts by half.
1898
01:45:11,439 --> 01:45:12,439
Hmm.
1899
01:45:14,275 --> 01:45:16,444
I'm not a patient man either.
1900
01:45:17,879 --> 01:45:20,582
I do not intend to leave office
1901
01:45:20,715 --> 01:45:22,149
before they are gone,
1902
01:45:22,984 --> 01:45:23,985
completely.
1903
01:45:25,987 --> 01:45:28,956
[hopeful music playing]
1904
01:45:39,734 --> 01:45:40,968
[Reagan] Oh, no.
1905
01:45:41,102 --> 01:45:42,937
Honey, look what I've done.
1906
01:45:43,070 --> 01:45:44,305
Oh, dear.
1907
01:45:44,439 --> 01:45:45,940
Maybe we can find another one.
1908
01:45:46,073 --> 01:45:48,876
Uh, Mr. President, we-we go
live in five-five minutes.
1909
01:45:49,010 --> 01:45:50,878
Oh, I-I think we should
find another one.
1910
01:45:51,012 --> 01:45:52,179
Oh, no!
1911
01:45:52,313 --> 01:45:54,348
Every kid knows his goldfish.
1912
01:45:54,482 --> 01:45:55,817
I'm gonna write him a note.
1913
01:45:55,950 --> 01:45:57,351
W-we need to go now.
1914
01:45:57,485 --> 01:45:59,821
I mean, the entire
world is waiting.
1915
01:45:59,954 --> 01:46:01,689
The world can wait.
1916
01:46:01,823 --> 01:46:04,291
I'm going to write him a note.
1917
01:46:04,426 --> 01:46:08,496
- [grunts, mouths] Nancy...
- That's my Ronnie.
1918
01:46:08,663 --> 01:46:12,033
- We have to wait.
- [Viktor] Nothing was really agreed to yet
1919
01:46:12,199 --> 01:46:13,968
beyond agreeing to meet again.
1920
01:46:14,135 --> 01:46:18,039
But the Soviet Union and USA
were talking to one another
1921
01:46:18,205 --> 01:46:20,374
instead of at one another.
1922
01:46:20,508 --> 01:46:23,978
- [indistinct]
- [camera shutter clicking]
1923
01:46:24,111 --> 01:46:28,650
[hopeful music playing]
1924
01:46:33,855 --> 01:46:38,025
[Viktor] Reagan's allies
against us included the Pope,
1925
01:46:38,192 --> 01:46:40,462
Thatcher, the Iron Lady,
1926
01:46:40,628 --> 01:46:45,166
and leaders of West Germany
and Japan, Cole and Nakasone.
1927
01:46:45,299 --> 01:46:47,234
We stand firmly behind you.
1928
01:46:48,536 --> 01:46:50,905
When you speak with
Secretary Gorbachev,
1929
01:46:52,474 --> 01:46:55,276
you are speaking for
us in free world.
1930
01:46:55,443 --> 01:46:56,744
[Reagan] Well, we understand
1931
01:46:56,878 --> 01:46:59,714
that you are surrounded
by communists,
1932
01:46:59,847 --> 01:47:02,383
and we appreciate
you standing with us.
1933
01:47:02,550 --> 01:47:04,652
[Nakasone] Be careful. Remember,
1934
01:47:04,819 --> 01:47:09,223
communists have no problem with
lying to achieve their goals.
1935
01:47:09,356 --> 01:47:12,927
They are testing you to
see if you will stand firm.
1936
01:47:13,094 --> 01:47:16,263
Don't worry. I dealt with
these guys back in Hollywood.
1937
01:47:16,430 --> 01:47:18,633
I even have the scars
on my back to prove it.
1938
01:47:18,766 --> 01:47:20,267
And I promise you,
1939
01:47:21,368 --> 01:47:22,870
we're not going to lose.
1940
01:47:24,572 --> 01:47:28,075
[reporter] In other news, President
Reagan has landed in Reykjavík, Iceland
1941
01:47:28,242 --> 01:47:32,079
to continue discussions with Soviet
Premier Gorbachev over nuclear disarmament.
1942
01:47:33,380 --> 01:47:36,083
Fifty percent across
the board reduction.
1943
01:47:36,217 --> 01:47:40,988
All weapons groups,
tactical, INF, ICBM.
1944
01:47:41,122 --> 01:47:45,226
In exchange, suspension of your
Strategic Defense Initiative.
1945
01:47:45,359 --> 01:47:48,229
"Star Wars," some refer to it.
1946
01:47:50,532 --> 01:47:51,666
Counter proposal.
1947
01:47:53,568 --> 01:47:57,438
We share all SDI technology,
1948
01:47:58,405 --> 01:47:59,807
we develop it together,
1949
01:48:00,642 --> 01:48:02,510
we'll even pay for it.
1950
01:48:02,644 --> 01:48:06,514
And we eliminate all
ballistic missiles
1951
01:48:06,648 --> 01:48:09,183
in ten years. Together.
1952
01:48:09,316 --> 01:48:12,654
You refuse to share
oil-drilling technology
1953
01:48:12,787 --> 01:48:14,288
and you offer this?
1954
01:48:14,421 --> 01:48:19,160
SDI is a completely
defensive system.
1955
01:48:22,296 --> 01:48:24,265
This is the line,
Mr. President.
1956
01:48:25,299 --> 01:48:26,534
If you walk away,
1957
01:48:27,434 --> 01:48:29,804
you will have missed the
chance of going down in history
1958
01:48:29,937 --> 01:48:33,875
as the president who paved the
way for nuclear disarmament.
1959
01:48:34,008 --> 01:48:37,812
How will you explain this
to your "free people?"
1960
01:48:39,480 --> 01:48:40,948
Mr. President,
1961
01:48:41,082 --> 01:48:45,019
I'm offering you the biggest
win of your presidency.
1962
01:48:46,988 --> 01:48:49,056
Just drop SDI.
1963
01:48:50,257 --> 01:48:51,693
[tense music playing]
1964
01:48:51,826 --> 01:48:53,360
[exhales deeply]
1965
01:49:13,881 --> 01:49:14,881
Nyet.
1966
01:49:17,885 --> 01:49:18,753
[thuds]
1967
01:49:18,886 --> 01:49:20,254
Let's go, George.
1968
01:49:28,329 --> 01:49:31,065
You would lose the whole
deal over this one thing?
1969
01:49:31,198 --> 01:49:32,566
This is a fair offer.
1970
01:49:33,901 --> 01:49:35,603
As was mine.
1971
01:49:35,737 --> 01:49:37,705
I don't know what more
I could have done.
1972
01:49:37,839 --> 01:49:38,873
[exhales]
1973
01:49:40,474 --> 01:49:42,076
You could have said yes.
1974
01:49:46,347 --> 01:49:49,383
[Viktor] After he walked away
from the negotiating table,
1975
01:49:49,550 --> 01:49:52,153
we were in a very dark place.
1976
01:49:52,319 --> 01:49:54,055
We knew it was over,
1977
01:49:54,221 --> 01:49:56,891
unless something
extraordinary happened.
1978
01:50:00,561 --> 01:50:04,598
We've intercepted two more
shipments of Soviet RPGs and AK-47s
1979
01:50:04,732 --> 01:50:07,101
coming out of Cuba,
headed for Nicaragua.
1980
01:50:07,935 --> 01:50:10,271
The freedom fighters are
holed up in the mountains.
1981
01:50:10,404 --> 01:50:12,774
It's David and Goliath, but
they're making a go of it.
1982
01:50:13,941 --> 01:50:15,542
Well, I like these guys.
1983
01:50:15,677 --> 01:50:19,046
They remind me of Washington
and the Continental Army.
1984
01:50:19,180 --> 01:50:20,547
What do they need?
1985
01:50:20,682 --> 01:50:22,449
What do they always need?
1986
01:50:22,583 --> 01:50:24,218
Band-Aids, guns, and money.
1987
01:50:25,352 --> 01:50:27,254
Well, give them what they want.
1988
01:50:27,388 --> 01:50:31,092
Mr. President, we won't have the
Congress with us on this one.
1989
01:50:32,026 --> 01:50:33,160
[exhales deeply]
1990
01:50:40,802 --> 01:50:43,237
[judge] And nothing but
the truth, so help you God?
1991
01:50:43,404 --> 01:50:44,672
- I do.
- Please be seated.
1992
01:50:45,773 --> 01:50:47,975
[Viktor] The American
Congress had said no
1993
01:50:48,142 --> 01:50:51,112
to giving money to his
friends in Nicaragua.
1994
01:50:51,278 --> 01:50:54,648
And The Crusader had
hostages in the Middle East
1995
01:50:54,816 --> 01:50:56,617
and needed to free them.
1996
01:50:56,784 --> 01:51:01,889
But it was American policy never
to negotiate with terrorists.
1997
01:51:02,056 --> 01:51:05,326
But somewhere, a
plan was hatched.
1998
01:51:10,765 --> 01:51:15,036
Reagan's Iran-Contra
situation comes down to this.
1999
01:51:15,169 --> 01:51:17,772
What did the president know,
and when did he know it?
2000
01:51:17,905 --> 01:51:21,342
And if you, people of the
press, want any more answers,
2001
01:51:21,475 --> 01:51:23,477
you ask President Reagan.
2002
01:51:23,644 --> 01:51:26,347
[Viktor] Five decades of
his struggle against us
2003
01:51:26,513 --> 01:51:31,485
and it came down to whether he
could survive a domestic scandal.
2004
01:51:31,618 --> 01:51:35,522
In spite of the wildly
speculative and false reports,
2005
01:51:35,656 --> 01:51:39,193
we do not negotiate
with terrorists
2006
01:51:39,326 --> 01:51:41,628
and we did not trade arms
2007
01:51:41,763 --> 01:51:44,065
- for hostages.
- [reporters indistinct]
2008
01:51:44,231 --> 01:51:46,934
[reporter] These accusations are
potentially impeachable offenses.
2009
01:51:47,101 --> 01:51:50,204
And if true, some observers
believe his presidency
2010
01:51:50,371 --> 01:51:51,873
could be hanging in the balance.
2011
01:51:52,039 --> 01:51:54,876
For W News 4 at the White
House, I'm Carl Long.
2012
01:52:01,182 --> 01:52:04,151
[tense music playing]
2013
01:52:05,386 --> 01:52:08,255
Ronnie, you have
to do something.
2014
01:52:09,156 --> 01:52:10,157
Have you seen this?
2015
01:52:11,358 --> 01:52:12,726
[Reagan] Yes, I've seen it.
2016
01:52:12,860 --> 01:52:14,528
[Nancy] Are you listening
to these people?
2017
01:52:15,362 --> 01:52:18,099
They want nothing more
than to see you burn.
2018
01:52:18,232 --> 01:52:21,836
You know, they may smile and call you
"Mr. President," but they hate you.
2019
01:52:21,969 --> 01:52:24,872
They hate what you say, what
you believe in, who you are.
2020
01:52:25,006 --> 01:52:26,740
Honey, I just can't accept that.
2021
01:52:26,874 --> 01:52:29,576
No, no, you never could.
2022
01:52:29,710 --> 01:52:32,679
You're the optimist. You're the one
who wants to see the good in people.
2023
01:52:32,814 --> 01:52:35,850
But it's my job to see
through them and protect you.
2024
01:52:35,983 --> 01:52:39,053
Well, that's why we're
such a good team.
2025
01:52:39,854 --> 01:52:41,355
[mutters]
2026
01:52:41,488 --> 01:52:45,459
Honey, you know Washington.
You know the way it works.
2027
01:52:45,592 --> 01:52:48,429
- It's politics, that's all.
- Ronnie, they're talking impeachment!
2028
01:52:48,562 --> 01:52:52,599
- No impeachment.
- Yes, they wanna destroy you!
2029
01:52:52,733 --> 01:52:55,803
They're putting you on trial,
removing you from office!
2030
01:52:55,937 --> 01:52:57,805
This isn't about
politics anymore.
2031
01:52:57,939 --> 01:52:59,240
This is about you.
2032
01:53:00,241 --> 01:53:03,244
Everything is at stake.
One more headline,
2033
01:53:03,377 --> 01:53:06,113
one more star witness, one more
arrest, and they will do it.
2034
01:53:06,247 --> 01:53:08,549
I have cooperated with them.
2035
01:53:08,682 --> 01:53:10,717
I appointed a
special prosecutor.
2036
01:53:10,852 --> 01:53:13,754
I've turned over
every document I have.
2037
01:53:13,888 --> 01:53:15,622
What would you have me do?
2038
01:53:15,756 --> 01:53:17,491
I want you to fight
2039
01:53:17,624 --> 01:53:19,460
or this is all over!
2040
01:53:21,462 --> 01:53:22,763
[sighs]
2041
01:53:26,233 --> 01:53:27,902
[grunts]
2042
01:53:28,035 --> 01:53:30,404
[horse whinnying in distance]
2043
01:53:30,537 --> 01:53:32,106
You could always hire someone.
2044
01:53:32,239 --> 01:53:33,239
Ha!
2045
01:53:33,941 --> 01:53:36,510
Why, you looking
for work? [grunts]
2046
01:53:36,643 --> 01:53:38,179
I got a job for you
2047
01:53:39,313 --> 01:53:40,915
back in Washington.
2048
01:53:41,048 --> 01:53:44,018
You're the president. You could
always order me back there.
2049
01:53:46,087 --> 01:53:48,589
Are they gonna impeach me, Bill?
2050
01:53:48,722 --> 01:53:51,325
Well, it's moving in
that direction, sir.
2051
01:53:53,827 --> 01:53:55,963
Mr. President,
you're my friend.
2052
01:53:56,097 --> 01:53:58,332
I can only speak
to you straight.
2053
01:53:58,465 --> 01:54:01,002
Some laws got broken, for sure,
2054
01:54:01,135 --> 01:54:04,205
whether you broke them
or somebody else did.
2055
01:54:04,338 --> 01:54:07,641
So now you're clamming
up and lawyering up.
2056
01:54:07,774 --> 01:54:09,343
It's the wrong move.
2057
01:54:09,476 --> 01:54:11,645
It confuses everybody, even
the ones that love you.
2058
01:54:13,247 --> 01:54:14,807
People are thinking
that maybe you're...
2059
01:54:14,916 --> 01:54:16,283
I'm losing it? Yeah.
2060
01:54:17,651 --> 01:54:18,685
I've heard it.
2061
01:54:23,257 --> 01:54:26,027
What do you think
I should do, Judge?
2062
01:54:26,160 --> 01:54:27,661
What you do best.
2063
01:54:27,794 --> 01:54:28,996
Tell 'em the truth.
2064
01:54:31,999 --> 01:54:33,567
[horse whinnying]
2065
01:54:52,286 --> 01:54:54,888
[Reagan] A few months ago,
I told the American people
2066
01:54:55,022 --> 01:54:57,824
that I did not trade
arms for hostages.
2067
01:54:57,959 --> 01:55:01,895
My heart and my best intentions
still tell me that's true
2068
01:55:02,029 --> 01:55:05,899
but the facts and the
evidence tell me it is not.
2069
01:55:06,033 --> 01:55:10,237
Now, what should happen when
you make a mistake is this.
2070
01:55:10,371 --> 01:55:13,740
You take your knocks, you
put things in perspective,
2071
01:55:13,874 --> 01:55:16,077
you pull your energies together,
2072
01:55:16,210 --> 01:55:19,113
you make changes,
and you go forward.
2073
01:55:19,981 --> 01:55:21,182
[Viktor] Americans.
2074
01:55:21,315 --> 01:55:23,184
You do them wrong,
you'll pay for it.
2075
01:55:23,850 --> 01:55:28,022
But look them in the eye,
admit you made a mistake,
2076
01:55:28,155 --> 01:55:30,224
they forgive you every time.
2077
01:55:37,564 --> 01:55:40,867
[grunts, exhales]
2078
01:55:45,239 --> 01:55:46,974
[Andrei] He was president.
2079
01:55:47,108 --> 01:55:48,809
He had to know.
2080
01:55:51,445 --> 01:55:54,381
[chuckles] He was
still the lifeguard.
2081
01:55:54,515 --> 01:55:56,783
He was going to get
his people home.
2082
01:55:58,585 --> 01:56:01,088
[soft music playing]
2083
01:56:01,222 --> 01:56:05,059
I'm not pleased with you, Ron. Let's
just get that said right up front.
2084
01:56:06,060 --> 01:56:08,229
Well, I can't imagine how
I've upset you, Margaret.
2085
01:56:08,362 --> 01:56:10,564
Are we gonna go
over Grenada again?
2086
01:56:10,697 --> 01:56:13,134
Well, you're certainly
not walking away
2087
01:56:13,267 --> 01:56:15,636
from what happened
at Reykjavík...
2088
01:56:15,769 --> 01:56:17,904
- No.
- Looks like you're picking a fight.
2089
01:56:18,039 --> 01:56:21,108
No, but I'm not afraid of one.
2090
01:56:21,242 --> 01:56:24,645
Perhaps that is why
Mitterrand calls you
2091
01:56:24,778 --> 01:56:27,248
a "dangerous cowboy."
2092
01:56:28,415 --> 01:56:29,415
Well,
2093
01:56:30,284 --> 01:56:32,853
at least I have Margaret
Thatcher on my side.
2094
01:56:38,492 --> 01:56:40,903
- He wants to say it.
- He does, but we'll never get it past Shultz.
2095
01:56:40,927 --> 01:56:43,330
I mean, it's the one thing they
don't want him talking about.
2096
01:56:43,464 --> 01:56:45,132
My family in Germany
is talking about it.
2097
01:56:45,266 --> 01:56:47,506
Everybody is talking about
it. He needs to talk about it.
2098
01:56:47,601 --> 01:56:49,801
He's going to Camp David,
then he's back here for a day,
2099
01:56:49,836 --> 01:56:53,940
then he's going to Europe. We have
one shot to have him say this.
2100
01:56:54,075 --> 01:56:55,542
It's now or never.
2101
01:57:00,847 --> 01:57:02,349
[breathes deeply]
2102
01:57:02,483 --> 01:57:04,285
[whirring]
2103
01:57:09,490 --> 01:57:11,658
Hey, give me this! I-I'll
take that. Thank you.
2104
01:57:13,360 --> 01:57:14,961
Mr. President,
some light reading.
2105
01:57:16,530 --> 01:57:17,798
- Shh!
- [Nancy chuckles]
2106
01:57:23,437 --> 01:57:24,638
[Nancy] Good afternoon.
2107
01:57:27,441 --> 01:57:30,377
Hello, fellas, good day to fly.
2108
01:57:30,511 --> 01:57:31,912
No barrel rolls though.
2109
01:57:46,627 --> 01:57:49,896
[hopeful music playing]
2110
01:58:11,752 --> 01:58:13,887
Well, I think that's a First
Lady question, actually.
2111
01:58:14,020 --> 01:58:16,890
Why would you do
this to Gorbachev?
2112
01:58:17,023 --> 01:58:19,426
You know how long it's
taken us to get to this.
2113
01:58:19,560 --> 01:58:21,171
They're at the table.
They're ready to make a deal
2114
01:58:21,195 --> 01:58:22,796
and you wanna embarrass him?
2115
01:58:22,929 --> 01:58:25,732
Gorbachev's the first friend
we've had over there in 70 years!
2116
01:58:25,866 --> 01:58:28,101
- [door closes]
- [sighs] You can't say this.
2117
01:58:28,235 --> 01:58:30,804
I'm-I'm begging you
to listen to me.
2118
01:58:30,937 --> 01:58:34,308
You know, I stood by you with
SDI when it was ridiculed.
2119
01:58:34,441 --> 01:58:36,310
I supported you
with the Contras.
2120
01:58:36,443 --> 01:58:39,413
I even walked out of
Reykjavík with egg on my face.
2121
01:58:39,546 --> 01:58:42,283
But this goes too far.
2122
01:58:42,416 --> 01:58:44,218
This is worse than Evil Empire.
2123
01:58:44,351 --> 01:58:47,488
You're gonna blow up Geneva, you
blow up eight years of diplomacy.
2124
01:58:47,621 --> 01:58:50,090
We'll be right back where
we started from, or worse!
2125
01:58:53,394 --> 01:58:55,662
"Clarity is power."
2126
01:58:55,796 --> 01:58:58,965
You know, a very great
man once said that to me.
2127
01:59:00,434 --> 01:59:02,269
What are we here for, George...
2128
01:59:03,970 --> 01:59:05,138
but to win?
2129
01:59:10,777 --> 01:59:13,280
[soft music playing]
2130
01:59:13,414 --> 01:59:16,116
[Reagan] Behind
me stands a wall.
2131
01:59:16,950 --> 01:59:19,786
Part of a vast
system of barriers
2132
01:59:19,920 --> 01:59:22,789
that divide the entire
continent of Europe.
2133
01:59:22,923 --> 01:59:27,428
A gash of barbed wire, concrete,
2134
01:59:27,561 --> 01:59:30,431
dogs, and guard towers,
2135
01:59:30,564 --> 01:59:34,535
imposing the will of
a totalitarian state.
2136
01:59:35,569 --> 01:59:37,704
As long as this gate is closed
2137
01:59:37,838 --> 01:59:40,674
and this scar is
permitted to stand,
2138
01:59:40,807 --> 01:59:45,111
there is a question of
freedom for all mankind.
2139
01:59:45,246 --> 01:59:48,014
[cheering, applauding]
2140
01:59:53,487 --> 01:59:56,923
[Reagan] The totalitarian
world produces backwardness
2141
01:59:57,090 --> 02:00:01,262
because it does such
violence to the spirit.
2142
02:00:01,428 --> 02:00:06,833
Thwarting the human impulse to
create, to enjoy, even to worship.
2143
02:00:07,768 --> 02:00:11,238
Here in Berlin, like
the city itself,
2144
02:00:11,372 --> 02:00:15,175
symbols of love,
symbols of worship
2145
02:00:15,309 --> 02:00:17,311
cannot be suppressed.
2146
02:00:17,444 --> 02:00:20,314
[whooping, cheering]
2147
02:00:24,885 --> 02:00:28,855
There is one sign that
the Soviets can make,
2148
02:00:28,989 --> 02:00:33,159
that would unmistakably
and dramatically advance
2149
02:00:33,294 --> 02:00:35,529
the cause of freedom and peace.
2150
02:00:36,630 --> 02:00:38,799
General Secretary Gorbachev,
2151
02:00:38,965 --> 02:00:41,167
if you seek peace,
2152
02:00:41,335 --> 02:00:44,671
if you seek
liberalization and change,
2153
02:00:44,838 --> 02:00:47,107
come here to this gate.
2154
02:00:47,240 --> 02:00:48,709
[crowd cheering]
2155
02:00:49,476 --> 02:00:51,745
Mr. Gorbachev,
2156
02:00:51,878 --> 02:00:53,614
open this gate.
2157
02:00:55,181 --> 02:00:56,517
Is he gonna say it?
2158
02:01:02,356 --> 02:01:04,525
Mr. Gorbachev,
2159
02:01:04,658 --> 02:01:07,060
tear down this wall.
2160
02:01:07,193 --> 02:01:09,963
[cheering, applauding]
2161
02:01:13,033 --> 02:01:14,768
Whoo!
2162
02:01:14,901 --> 02:01:17,704
[yells] Whoo!
2163
02:01:17,838 --> 02:01:19,072
[laughs]
2164
02:01:23,344 --> 02:01:27,314
[whooping, yelling]
2165
02:01:27,448 --> 02:01:29,416
Well done, cowboy.
2166
02:01:32,052 --> 02:01:33,787

[hopeful music playing]
2168
02:02:08,288 --> 02:02:10,090
[Viktor] In the chess
game of the Cold War,
2169
02:02:11,592 --> 02:02:12,993
it was checkmate.
2170
02:02:20,233 --> 02:02:21,802
["Sweet Child O' Mine" playing]
2171
02:02:21,968 --> 02:02:23,770
[reporter 1] The
unimaginable is happening
2172
02:02:23,937 --> 02:02:25,772
right now in Berlin.
2173
02:02:25,939 --> 02:02:27,450
[reporter 2] Shocking
developments overnight
2174
02:02:27,474 --> 02:02:28,975
as East Germany
announced its citizens
2175
02:02:29,142 --> 02:02:31,277
can travel freely
to West Germany.
2176
02:02:31,445 --> 02:02:34,114
[reporter 3] What no
one thought could happen
2177
02:02:34,280 --> 02:02:36,049
is happening right now.
2178
02:02:43,490 --> 02:02:46,727
[crowd cheering]
2179
02:03:04,611 --> 02:03:07,514
[reporter] Within hours, the
city erupted in celebration
2180
02:03:07,681 --> 02:03:10,116
as East and West Germans
took hammers to the wall
2181
02:03:10,283 --> 02:03:12,419
that had separated
them for 30 years.
2182
02:03:12,553 --> 02:03:16,657
[crowd cheering]
2183
02:03:22,696 --> 02:03:26,032
[Viktor] Two years,
after the wall fell,
2184
02:03:26,199 --> 02:03:28,168
the Soviet Union was no more.
2185
02:03:31,805 --> 02:03:33,874
I knew he was the one.
2186
02:03:35,476 --> 02:03:38,679
He was the one who
would bring us down.
2187
02:03:38,812 --> 02:03:43,049
Not with missiles or
guns or even politics.
2188
02:03:43,183 --> 02:03:44,885
Something much greater.
2189
02:03:45,819 --> 02:03:47,588
[soft music playing]

[horse whinnying]
2191
02:03:51,191 --> 02:03:54,695
[Viktor] People will not
give their lives for power,
2192
02:03:54,828 --> 02:03:57,598
or a State, or even ideology.
2193
02:03:59,032 --> 02:04:01,902
People give their
lives for one another,
2194
02:04:03,436 --> 02:04:07,240
for the freedom to live those
lives as they choose and for God.
2195
02:04:11,344 --> 02:04:12,613
We took that away.
2196

The Crusader...
2197
02:04:18,418 --> 02:04:19,586
gave it back to them.
2198
02:04:31,031 --> 02:04:33,767
And that is the answer
to your question.

02:04:37,638 --> 02:04:39,673
Thank you, Viktor Petrovich.
2201
02:04:55,889 --> 02:04:56,889
[Viktor] Take it.
2202
02:05:02,963 --> 02:05:03,963
Thank you.
2203
02:05:06,299 --> 02:05:07,433
Good night.
2204
02:05:37,297 --> 02:05:39,065
What's going on
there, Mr. President?
2205
02:05:42,035 --> 02:05:43,904
This means something to me.
2206
02:05:46,039 --> 02:05:47,708
[Nancy] I know what
you're saying, John,
2207
02:05:48,675 --> 02:05:50,376
but I'm not gonna do it.
2208
02:05:50,510 --> 02:05:53,079
Ma'am, I need you to tell
him we can't do this anymore.
2209
02:05:53,213 --> 02:05:56,016
I can't. I can't. I can't do it.
2210
02:05:57,818 --> 02:05:59,352
He got lost yesterday.
2211
02:06:00,153 --> 02:06:01,855
I couldn't find him
for half an hour.
2212
02:06:02,723 --> 02:06:05,759
Horses know when a rider doesn't
know what he's doing, okay? He's...
2213
02:06:06,993 --> 02:06:08,328
He's gonna get thrown again.
2214
02:06:09,830 --> 02:06:12,498
I can't tell him that
he can't ride anymore.
2215
02:06:14,968 --> 02:06:16,436
He loves it too much.
2216
02:06:18,304 --> 02:06:19,304
Please.
2217
02:06:23,076 --> 02:06:24,076
Okay.
2218
02:06:30,483 --> 02:06:32,252
He loves you more, ma'am.

02:06:39,025 --> 02:06:42,095
[door opens, closes]
2220
02:06:52,072 --> 02:06:53,239
Mr. President?
2221
02:06:55,876 --> 02:06:57,243
What is it, John?
2222
02:07:00,446 --> 02:07:01,481
You know, uh...
2223
02:07:03,049 --> 02:07:06,286
I don't think we're having as
much fun riding as we used to.

02:07:07,453 --> 02:07:09,622
Oh, the agent on, uh... [sniffs]
2225
02:07:09,756 --> 02:07:12,125
- On Mrs. Reagan, she is...
- What do you want, John?
2226
02:07:17,297 --> 02:07:18,665
Mr. President, I don't...
2227
02:07:20,033 --> 02:07:21,835
I don't think we
should ride anymore.
2228
02:07:24,871 --> 02:07:25,871
Oh.
2229
02:07:30,744 --> 02:07:32,478
[sighs deeply]
2230
02:07:52,933 --> 02:07:54,034
[pats saddle]
2231
02:07:54,167 --> 02:07:55,268
One more ride.
2232
02:07:59,105 --> 02:08:00,473
Yes, sir, Mr. President.
2233
02:08:06,479 --> 02:08:07,479
Mm.
2234
02:08:11,317 --> 02:08:16,689
["Take Me Home,
Country Roads" playing]
2235
02:08:47,687 --> 02:08:49,722
[Reagan] My fellow Americans.
2236
02:08:49,890 --> 02:08:53,894
I have recently been told that I
am one of the millions of Americans
2237
02:08:54,060 --> 02:08:57,663
who will be afflicted
with Alzheimer's disease.
2238
02:08:57,831 --> 02:09:01,433
At the moment, I feel just fine.
2239
02:09:01,434 --> 02:09:05,038
I intend to live the remainder
of the years God gives me
2240
02:09:05,205 --> 02:09:07,240
doing the things I
have always done.
2241
02:09:08,341 --> 02:09:12,412
Unfortunately, as Alzheimer's
disease progresses,
2242
02:09:12,578 --> 02:09:15,916
the family often
bears a heavy burden.
2243
02:09:16,082 --> 02:09:19,485
I only wish there was some
way I could spare Nancy
2244
02:09:19,652 --> 02:09:22,889
from this painful experience.
2245
02:09:23,056 --> 02:09:25,158
I will continue to
share life's journey
2246
02:09:25,325 --> 02:09:28,594
with my beloved
Nancy and my family.
2247
02:09:28,761 --> 02:09:31,164
I plan to enjoy
the great outdoors
2248
02:09:31,331 --> 02:09:34,734
and stay in touch with my
friends and supporters.
2249
02:09:36,002 --> 02:09:37,703
When the time comes,
2250
02:09:37,871 --> 02:09:40,841
I am confident that
with your help,
2251
02:09:41,007 --> 02:09:43,409
she will face it with
faith and courage.
2252
02:10:49,775 --> 02:10:53,846
In closing, let me thank
you, the American people,
2253
02:10:54,014 --> 02:10:56,116
for giving me the great honor
2254
02:10:56,282 --> 02:10:58,885
of allowing me to serve
as your president.
2255
02:10:59,819 --> 02:11:04,024
When the Lord calls me
home, whenever that may be,
2256
02:11:04,190 --> 02:11:07,527
I will leave with the greatest
love for this country of ours
2257
02:11:07,693 --> 02:11:11,297
and eternal optimism
for its future.
2258
02:11:11,464 --> 02:11:16,002
I now begin the journey that will
lead me into the sunset of my life.
2259
02:11:16,136 --> 02:11:17,938
I know that for America,
2260
02:11:18,104 --> 02:11:21,207
there will always be a
bright new dawn ahead.
2261
02:11:22,175 --> 02:11:24,010
Thank you, my friends.
2262
02:11:24,177 --> 02:11:26,079
May God always bless you.
2263
02:11:27,713 --> 02:11:29,049
Sincerely,
2264
02:11:30,650 --> 02:11:31,817
Ronald Reagan.
