1
00:01:04,833 --> 00:01:05,875
Mr. President?

2
00:01:07,250 --> 00:01:08,291
Mr. President.

3
00:01:14,791 --> 00:01:15,958
Mr. President.

4
00:01:19,833 --> 00:01:21,291
I Failed

5
00:01:28,541 --> 00:01:32,375
I offered him the deal of
the century human history.

6
00:01:32,583 --> 00:01:36,416
He's walking away
over one single word

7
00:01:37,541 --> 00:01:39,000
Never should have trusted him

8
00:01:40,458 --> 00:01:43,291
So the car is here ready
to take him to the airport,

9
00:01:43,416 --> 00:01:46,583
but it's not over
not yet It's over

10
00:01:47,750 --> 00:01:49,708
No world living on hope

11
00:01:50,583 --> 00:01:52,000
Press will know by tonight

12
00:01:53,833 --> 00:01:56,708
So when you recruited me you
told me we could make a difference

13
00:01:57,750 --> 00:02:01,041
He told me we could make America
safer than when we found her.

14
00:02:01,083 --> 00:02:02,083
It's over

15
00:02:06,250 --> 00:02:07,791
Ask him to come to Washington.

16
00:02:08,666 --> 00:02:11,375
For what? More talk
that leads to nothing?

17
00:02:11,500 --> 00:02:13,250
Maybe this place is haunted.

18
00:02:15,416 --> 00:02:18,083
Ask him anyway, sir.
Please, in spite of it all.

19
00:02:18,208 --> 00:02:20,416
We have maybe a minute left
until he comes out that door,

20
00:02:20,541 --> 00:02:22,375
gets in that car,
and he is gone.

21
00:02:23,500 --> 00:02:26,250
Do not let what happened
in that house, in that room,

22
00:02:26,375 --> 00:02:29,750
over the last 30 hours
destroy our entire future.

23
00:03:06,791 --> 00:03:08,416
All teams, Rawhide has arrived.

24
00:03:15,291 --> 00:03:17,250
He stays with the football.

25
00:03:18,250 --> 00:03:20,750
- Establish position.
-The Brits gave it up.

26
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,500
Pictures falling off the walls in the
night the ambassador's wife refused to stay

27
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,041
They sold it back to
the Icelandic government

28
00:03:27,625 --> 00:03:30,166
Let me get this straight
George of all the places on earth

29
00:03:30,250 --> 00:03:32,750
You could pick for a meeting
about the fate of the human race.

30
00:03:32,875 --> 00:03:34,791
You picked a haunted
house in Iceland.

31
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,375
Not me, sir Secret Service

32
00:03:37,125 --> 00:03:38,125
perfect for security

33
00:03:38,916 --> 00:03:40,916
Nothing around but lava
rock in the North Atlantic

34
00:03:41,500 --> 00:03:42,500
Total isolation

35
00:03:42,750 --> 00:03:45,375
total isolation can't
blame Nancy for staying home,

36
00:03:45,500 --> 00:03:47,500
but I am blaming you. Yes, sir

37
00:03:48,250 --> 00:03:49,416
Ready to begin?

38
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:54,875
Copy. All clear.

39
00:03:55,166 --> 00:03:57,000
Hello, how are you
good to see you?

40
00:03:57,333 --> 00:03:58,333
Good to see you.

41
00:03:58,416 --> 00:03:59,416
This is George Schultz

42
00:04:03,041 --> 00:04:04,416
Should be in the same area.

43
00:04:05,125 --> 00:04:07,708
We'll share this top floor,
Soviets are down the hall,

44
00:04:07,833 --> 00:04:10,041
and here is our conference room.

45
00:04:11,791 --> 00:04:13,708
Any update?

46
00:04:14,208 --> 00:04:14,833
Tight quarters,

47
00:04:15,208 --> 00:04:17,250
I'm surprised you didn't
shove me in the basement

48
00:04:18,791 --> 00:04:22,875
You'll be pleased to know sir that the basement
in the spirit of this summit status summit

49
00:04:23,791 --> 00:04:25,291
We've been having
summits of 40 years.

50
00:04:25,541 --> 00:04:26,541
Nothing changes

51
00:04:27,083 --> 00:04:31,208
Actions speak louder than words that this
guy Gorbachev wants to bluster and bullshit

52
00:04:31,791 --> 00:04:33,375
and We'll just walk

53
00:04:34,333 --> 00:04:36,625
Call it a meeting
and no press sir

54
00:04:36,666 --> 00:04:42,708
We can say no press but the leaders of the
two superpowers with 70,000 nuclear tipped

55
00:04:42,958 --> 00:04:46,708
ICBMs IR BMS air-launched
cruise missiles not to mention

56
00:04:46,708 --> 00:04:52,000
5 million active-duty conventional
troops at their fingertips are having a

57
00:04:53,083 --> 00:04:54,708
meeting Mr.

58
00:04:54,833 --> 00:04:56,000
President, whatever we call it.

59
00:04:56,041 --> 00:04:57,041
We have two days

60
00:04:57,500 --> 00:04:59,583
Perhaps you'd like to glance
at the briefing binders.

61
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,333
What the basement
you were saying?

62
00:05:01,375 --> 00:05:03,583
What's in the basement that
where you keep the ghosts?

63
00:05:04,333 --> 00:05:05,958
Well in a manner of
speaking sir, the CIA

64
00:05:06,916 --> 00:05:09,166
Of course and the KGB together.

65
00:05:09,541 --> 00:05:11,625
Oh, well, that's got a set
a world record for awkward

66
00:05:12,833 --> 00:05:13,833
or cooperation

67
00:05:14,500 --> 00:05:16,250
Have you met the CIA and KGB?

68
00:05:17,458 --> 00:05:21,041
George Where's our team? Yes

69
00:05:23,791 --> 00:05:24,791
Quick gentlemen

70
00:05:26,833 --> 00:05:27,833
Max Kappelman

71
00:05:28,916 --> 00:05:31,000
Paul Nietzsche Richard Perle

72
00:05:32,250 --> 00:05:33,250
and Ken Adam

73
00:05:33,791 --> 00:05:36,916
entire State Department entire
federal government at your disposal.

74
00:05:37,166 --> 00:05:38,291
You could only find Democrats

75
00:05:39,708 --> 00:05:41,250
I'm actually a Republican sir.

76
00:05:41,500 --> 00:05:42,541
Well that makes two of us

77
00:05:43,916 --> 00:05:45,041
I'm glad you're all here.

78
00:05:45,291 --> 00:05:50,291
I I know you gave up time at home for a
weekend and a house in Iceland But hey,

79
00:05:50,791 --> 00:05:52,208
I hear there are ghosts. So...

80
00:05:53,166 --> 00:05:54,166
Should be fun.

81
00:05:54,291 --> 00:05:55,875
Let's talk about how
we open this thing.

82
00:05:55,958 --> 00:05:58,583
We've agreed to begin
with formal statements, sir

83
00:05:59,208 --> 00:06:02,333
This is our basic boilerplate
plus a few other ideas

84
00:06:11,500 --> 00:06:14,625
I'm gonna move up
the human rights stuff.

85
00:06:16,750 --> 00:06:20,125
I Strongly suggest we don't
poke the bear first thing sir

86
00:06:20,500 --> 00:06:22,500
You read the briefing binders

87
00:06:23,208 --> 00:06:26,125
the Russians are focused on
the strategic defense initiative

88
00:06:26,333 --> 00:06:29,166
I think it violates the
anti-ballistic missile treaty

89
00:06:29,875 --> 00:06:36,583
But in reality SDI does nothing of the kind and they're violating
the ABM already with a radar installation and crossing ours

90
00:06:41,791 --> 00:06:45,083
Being underestimated is a
tactical advantage gentlemen

91
00:06:46,500 --> 00:06:49,291
Let's not make that same mistake
with the new secretary-general

92
00:06:49,875 --> 00:06:55,416
Gorbachev is relatively young for a Soviet considering
the last three died before I could even meet them

93
00:06:55,416 --> 00:06:56,958
I guess he must be well,

94
00:06:57,125 --> 00:07:00,666
yeah, he acted for a while in
high school then some in college

95
00:07:01,416 --> 00:07:05,000
- No kidding.
- It will not fill like you just stage plays explains

96
00:07:05,750 --> 00:07:07,708
his bombastic speeches
all those big hand

97
00:07:07,791 --> 00:07:09,750
At least you have
something in common, sir

98
00:07:10,541 --> 00:07:16,083
Yes, except for the fact that we disagree
about free enterprise freedom of speech

99
00:07:17,583 --> 00:07:18,875
and freedom of
just about any kind

100
00:07:20,875 --> 00:07:23,458
Gentlemen, can
you trust an enemy?

101
00:07:24,458 --> 00:07:27,000
since the founding
of the Soviet Union

102
00:07:27,666 --> 00:07:32,500
they have concentrated their foreign
policy on the coercion of other nations

103
00:07:33,458 --> 00:07:34,458
in no nation

104
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,375
Not a single one that has become
communist has ever turned back to democracy

105
00:07:38,958 --> 00:07:41,916
and because of that we face
an enemy that is ever Growing

106
00:07:42,500 --> 00:07:45,208
an octopus stretching tentacles
and even our own hemisphere

107
00:07:46,083 --> 00:07:48,458
Some of you except
for this former Marine

108
00:07:49,041 --> 00:07:51,166
too young to remember
the Second World War.

109
00:07:51,916 --> 00:07:54,500
I am NOT a system

110
00:07:55,041 --> 00:07:56,208
no matter fascist or communist

111
00:07:57,500 --> 00:07:58,625
Subjugates every citizen

112
00:07:59,250 --> 00:08:00,916
denying them not
just basic rights,

113
00:08:01,083 --> 00:08:04,541
but their God-given free will
is a threat not just to one nation

114
00:08:05,583 --> 00:08:07,541
but eventually to all nations

115
00:08:10,458 --> 00:08:11,458
So...

116
00:08:12,041 --> 00:08:13,541
We have rebuilt our military.

117
00:08:14,458 --> 00:08:17,875
We have moved our Pershing missiles
into Germany in defense of our NATO allies

118
00:08:19,416 --> 00:08:23,125
We have funded those committed to the cause
of democracy and freedom throughout the world.

119
00:08:23,166 --> 00:08:25,166
And now finally we have begun

120
00:08:25,875 --> 00:08:29,416
Scientific work on a missile
shield to protect the American people

121
00:08:32,583 --> 00:08:33,791
We have done all this

122
00:08:35,500 --> 00:08:40,666
Even though I have been called a warmonger by
the New York Times and even some of our allies

123
00:08:42,500 --> 00:08:49,291
Even though the atomic scientists have the doomsday clock
down to five minutes till annihilation we have done all this

124
00:08:53,291 --> 00:08:56,375
Because I believed it would drive
the Soviets to the negotiating table

125
00:08:59,250 --> 00:09:00,250
But...

126
00:09:02,500 --> 00:09:05,125
If we fail... if I...

127
00:09:07,333 --> 00:09:10,583
Well, then I will
be just a warmonger

128
00:09:11,083 --> 00:09:14,083
I will have endangered
the American people

129
00:09:16,666 --> 00:09:19,166
Which is the absolute
opposite of our goal

130
00:09:21,750 --> 00:09:26,458
We Must find out if we can trust the
Skoruchov if we can make a deal with him

131
00:09:27,166 --> 00:09:29,666
if I can shake his hand at
the end of all this as the

132
00:09:32,208 --> 00:09:33,458
Photographers click and flash

133
00:09:57,166 --> 00:09:59,041
If the capitalist
press finds out

134
00:09:59,166 --> 00:10:01,458
you brought so many clothes,

135
00:10:01,583 --> 00:10:03,791
they will confuse
you with Nancy Reagan.

136
00:10:06,666 --> 00:10:08,666
That doesn't look
like Karl Marx a...

137
00:10:10,125 --> 00:10:15,291
"A nuclear war can never be
won and must never be fought."

138
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:16,916
Who?

139
00:10:17,333 --> 00:10:18,916
A quote from the
leader of our main enemy

140
00:10:19,916 --> 00:10:22,875
and he addressed the Japanese
Parliament's three years ago

141
00:10:23,500 --> 00:10:24,708
Don't get your hopes up Nellie.

142
00:10:25,458 --> 00:10:28,125
It looked promising before
in Geneva and it fell apart

143
00:10:31,375 --> 00:10:34,416
"The production of
too many useful things

144
00:10:34,541 --> 00:10:37,208
results in too many
useless people."

145
00:10:37,208 --> 00:10:39,833
Karl Marx never had to deal
with Paris and me Tehran.

146
00:10:40,500 --> 00:10:41,500
Do you not remember?

147
00:10:41,583 --> 00:10:44,333
I wore the same thing twice and
their press treated me like a peasant

148
00:10:46,375 --> 00:10:48,375
And the West people are
on the streets begging yet.

149
00:10:48,458 --> 00:10:50,041
I'm mocked if I repeat the dress

150
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,000
It'd be hypocrisy,

151
00:10:52,458 --> 00:10:55,166
but I will remind them
how sophisticated we are

152
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,000
How we are strong as you
will show him in that room.

153
00:10:59,750 --> 00:11:02,500
He gave Reagan the option
of London or Reykjavik

154
00:11:02,500 --> 00:11:06,208
He chose not the
capital of his main ally

155
00:11:07,500 --> 00:11:09,625
the British But this place

156
00:11:10,291 --> 00:11:12,208
that is equidistant between us

157
00:11:13,250 --> 00:11:14,250
This is a good sign

158
00:11:15,791 --> 00:11:16,791
He chose it

159
00:11:17,625 --> 00:11:24,833
Because the only airport is at their airbase forcing for the first
time ever a Soviet premier to land upon NATO military territory

160
00:11:25,708 --> 00:11:29,875
their Electronic warfare teams
must have enjoyed themselves immensely

161
00:11:30,541 --> 00:11:33,166
scanning all our communications

162
00:11:33,750 --> 00:11:36,208
He is arrogant
and uncompromising

163
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,708
We have survived the
bloodletting of the

164
00:11:41,666 --> 00:11:47,500
revolution the Onslaught of the Nazis
and the purges of that maniac Stalin.

165
00:11:48,041 --> 00:11:50,833
We will survive electronic
warfare teams, my love

166
00:11:53,125 --> 00:11:55,958
I Know we want to accomplish
great things for our nation

167
00:11:57,083 --> 00:12:00,708
Accomplish anything if we continue
fighting this cold war with the Americans

168
00:12:02,750 --> 00:12:08,541
The soil of the Ukraine
is as rich as their Iowa yet

169
00:12:08,833 --> 00:12:11,750
They continue to import
more and more of their grain

170
00:12:13,083 --> 00:12:14,208
40 million tons

171
00:12:14,791 --> 00:12:16,000
last year alone

172
00:12:21,166 --> 00:12:25,000
"Be bold and mighty forces
will come to your aid."

173
00:12:28,291 --> 00:12:30,625
-Tolstoy?
-Goethe.

174
00:12:32,750 --> 00:12:35,083
What a dissident
reader you've become.

175
00:12:36,333 --> 00:12:38,041
Well, thanks to you, Miliy,

176
00:12:38,416 --> 00:12:41,083
we no longer need to be
dissidents about what we read

177
00:12:44,166 --> 00:12:45,833
No heavy coat take the light one

178
00:12:47,583 --> 00:12:51,125
you look like you can't take
the cold and you're Russian

179
00:13:41,458 --> 00:13:43,583
Well, I see they
made their own border.

180
00:13:43,708 --> 00:13:46,708
CIA on one side,
KGB on the other.

181
00:13:46,833 --> 00:13:49,125
That's the spirit
of cooperation?

182
00:13:49,666 --> 00:13:50,583
Lao Tzu tells us

183
00:13:50,708 --> 00:13:53,250
the journey of a thousand
miles begins with a single step.

184
00:13:55,208 --> 00:13:56,208
Mr. President

185
00:13:56,750 --> 00:13:57,750
I'm Margaret Clancy.

186
00:13:57,833 --> 00:13:58,833
How can I help you?

187
00:13:59,083 --> 00:14:00,083
That's your real name?

188
00:14:00,416 --> 00:14:02,416
It is as far as
they're concerned, sir

189
00:14:03,166 --> 00:14:05,833
Well, they miss Clancy I'd
like to talk to my wife well,

190
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,958
sir The best option is a
scrambler ours isn't set up yet

191
00:14:08,958 --> 00:14:14,125
But there is one in the ambassador's residence and if I
promise not to tell Nancy any classified nuclear secrets.

192
00:14:14,375 --> 00:14:15,375
Well, sir

193
00:14:17,500 --> 00:14:19,000
That'll be fine for
the sat relay the

194
00:14:19,625 --> 00:14:22,833
switchboard at Langley ought to be able
to put you through to the Lincoln bedroom

195
00:14:26,500 --> 00:14:29,083
Ronnie You look good on TV

196
00:14:29,708 --> 00:14:33,625
NBC says Air Force One made a
textbook landing despite the winds

197
00:14:35,166 --> 00:14:36,541
Service would have
brought the car.

198
00:14:36,708 --> 00:14:37,916
It's got better armor

199
00:14:38,708 --> 00:14:40,458
And the ambassador's
car is fine.

200
00:14:40,500 --> 00:14:41,500
I mean we

201
00:14:41,833 --> 00:14:45,458
Kicked him out of his residence
might as well take his car, too

202
00:14:46,083 --> 00:14:47,083
You're too trusting

203
00:14:48,750 --> 00:14:52,458
They launch a first strike they take
out garbage off to seems unlikely Nance

204
00:14:52,958 --> 00:14:55,666
You know, I don't
trust the commies

205
00:14:59,500 --> 00:15:02,000
Listen rise a
garbage office here

206
00:15:05,375 --> 00:15:08,333
Intelligence reported it
as we landed this morning

207
00:15:14,708 --> 00:15:20,750
It's fine we're not doing anything social there will be no
pictures of her and him and me and not you no loss of face

208
00:15:21,708 --> 00:15:22,708
I'm sorry, Nance

209
00:15:26,916 --> 00:15:27,791
Don't worry about it.

210
00:15:27,875 --> 00:15:29,875
I've got lots of work to do here

211
00:15:30,958 --> 00:15:31,958
go be great

212
00:15:33,833 --> 00:15:36,666
Yes, ma'am, love you, love you

213
00:15:47,708 --> 00:15:50,041
Yes, would you ask my
chief of staff to come by

214
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,666
Yes waker if need be thank you

215
00:16:21,916 --> 00:16:24,958
Cameras just our guy Pete
Sousa and one for the Soviets

216
00:16:25,958 --> 00:16:28,625
last time anyone gets this
close to the summit meeting

217
00:16:33,500 --> 00:16:34,916
Good to see you, mr. President

218
00:16:36,416 --> 00:16:37,416
And you're early

219
00:16:38,083 --> 00:16:39,416
Who was looking
for the advantage?

220
00:16:40,083 --> 00:16:43,083
Well, we are politicians
secretary John that we are

221
00:16:44,291 --> 00:16:46,875
but I hope we can be
partners in peace and

222
00:16:47,458 --> 00:16:51,458
Begin the work that the world and our
people's expect of us on arms reduction

223
00:16:54,125 --> 00:16:55,833
I'm sure we will. Yes.

224
00:16:56,583 --> 00:16:58,250
Did you hear this
place is haunted?

225
00:17:19,291 --> 00:17:20,916
I Must be a British joke.

226
00:17:21,458 --> 00:17:23,375
I don't see any ghosts

227
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,958
I'll let you get settled with your staff and
then I'll I'll meet you in that room there

228
00:17:31,125 --> 00:17:33,333
How much time do you
need half an hour?

229
00:17:34,583 --> 00:17:38,541
Five minutes unless you need more
time to recover from your early arrival.

230
00:17:39,708 --> 00:17:40,708
I'll be there

231
00:17:54,833 --> 00:17:56,500
You Did he say reduction he did

232
00:17:57,875 --> 00:18:00,291
He mistranslated the
English word for control.

233
00:18:00,625 --> 00:18:04,250
He meant arms control hell of a
mistake to make in the first minute, sir

234
00:18:05,708 --> 00:18:09,375
Gorbachev has been in the party and
making moves since he was a teenager

235
00:18:10,958 --> 00:18:11,958
He's too good for that.

236
00:18:12,125 --> 00:18:13,125
Yeah

237
00:18:14,333 --> 00:18:18,458
And there have been countless
agreements about arms control sir, but...

238
00:18:19,458 --> 00:18:20,541
In all of human history,

239
00:18:20,708 --> 00:18:26,333
there has never been a single pact
between peoples on the reduction of arms

240
00:18:28,708 --> 00:18:31,375
This could be
historic your legacy

241
00:18:32,416 --> 00:18:34,833
Or it's a movement to
throw us off our game.

242
00:18:35,375 --> 00:18:37,125
He's just gonna
bullshit for two days

243
00:18:38,333 --> 00:18:40,833
There's an old Russian
saying George trust

244
00:18:41,708 --> 00:18:42,708
But verify

245
00:18:43,500 --> 00:18:48,958
so We need a test to see
if he's serious about change.

246
00:18:49,583 --> 00:18:50,583
Yes.

247
00:18:51,041 --> 00:18:53,833
I Have the Rostropovich
letter in my briefcase upstairs

248
00:19:12,500 --> 00:19:14,875
I Shall we begin

249
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:33,333
Minister Shevardnadze

250
00:19:34,625 --> 00:19:36,750
Secretary Schultz I

251
00:19:38,583 --> 00:19:44,041
I Never imagined I'd see the controls
for 70,000 nuclear weapons in the same room

252
00:19:45,833 --> 00:19:46,833
If you feed apart,

253
00:19:47,500 --> 00:19:52,166
I have always wondered why you
Americans call it the nuclear football

254
00:19:53,708 --> 00:19:56,375
Only a weak people need to
be afraid of their own creation

255
00:20:00,458 --> 00:20:05,833
Yes, we humans do have a way of
making the horrific sound innocuous

256
00:20:08,291 --> 00:20:09,416
For example gulag

257
00:20:11,166 --> 00:20:12,416
Sounds so much nicer than...

258
00:20:13,458 --> 00:20:16,583
inhumane Siberian torture prison

259
00:20:34,416 --> 00:20:35,416
Mr. General secretary

260
00:20:38,208 --> 00:20:40,458
I Have been impatiently
awaiting this meeting

261
00:20:42,125 --> 00:20:43,208
in the organizational plan

262
00:20:44,500 --> 00:20:49,000
it would evidently be expedient to devote
part of the time to talks held one-on-one and

263
00:20:49,916 --> 00:20:52,333
Part of the time to
the exchange of opinions

264
00:20:52,875 --> 00:20:55,250
in the presence of our
ministers of foreign affairs.

265
00:20:55,541 --> 00:20:57,416
It's this procedure
acceptable to you

266
00:20:58,541 --> 00:21:02,166
Yes, I agree with this
as a matter of fact,

267
00:21:02,625 --> 00:21:05,541
that is what we had in mind
when we suggested this meeting

268
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,041
With what problems shall
we begin our discussions?

269
00:21:11,458 --> 00:21:14,625
It seems to me we have an
entire series of problems

270
00:21:15,500 --> 00:21:19,458
I am referring to the problems of
intermediate-range weapons space and

271
00:21:20,208 --> 00:21:24,458
Agreements on the ABM defense as well
as the proposals on strategic weapons.

272
00:21:24,625 --> 00:21:25,625
Mr. President

273
00:21:25,875 --> 00:21:31,000
I believe it would make sense to first conduct a brief
exchange of opinions on the situation in the world

274
00:21:31,083 --> 00:21:35,083
Which has prompted me to appeal to
you with the proposal of this meeting

275
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,500
Obviously we would be willing
to discuss all questions which

276
00:21:40,166 --> 00:21:42,291
the American side
feels necessary to raise.

277
00:21:42,500 --> 00:21:43,500
Thank you, sir.

278
00:21:44,375 --> 00:21:46,166
I Would like to add
that in my opinion

279
00:21:47,500 --> 00:21:49,416
We really will have to
talk about human rights

280
00:21:51,791 --> 00:21:53,666
Unlike other questions
which we have cited

281
00:21:54,458 --> 00:21:59,125
They have great influence on how far we
can go in cooperation with the Soviet side

282
00:21:59,916 --> 00:22:01,416
in view of our public opinion

283
00:22:04,541 --> 00:22:07,250
Please continue
with your thoughts

284
00:22:09,583 --> 00:22:10,583
Human rights

285
00:22:11,833 --> 00:22:14,375
specifically questions of
exit from the Soviet Union

286
00:22:14,958 --> 00:22:17,541
Are ever-present and
appeals to my office

287
00:22:18,166 --> 00:22:19,291
specifically, sir. I well

288
00:22:20,250 --> 00:22:21,250
you may know

289
00:22:21,625 --> 00:22:23,250
National Symphony in Washington

290
00:22:24,833 --> 00:22:28,000
Wonderful cherished orchestra
has a cellist and conductor.

291
00:22:28,750 --> 00:22:29,750
Mr. Rostropovich

292
00:22:30,500 --> 00:22:32,083
Who hails from the Soviet Union

293
00:22:32,708 --> 00:22:36,666
he left in 1974 I believe

294
00:22:37,250 --> 00:22:38,250
his birthday is

295
00:22:38,583 --> 00:22:43,666
coming up and he has not seen his
sister his only family in over 10 years.

296
00:22:47,333 --> 00:22:48,583
I Have his letter here.

297
00:22:49,208 --> 00:22:54,083
Mr. General Secretary
from him beseeching you

298
00:22:56,041 --> 00:22:57,250
To let her travel to Washington

299
00:22:59,958 --> 00:23:00,958
For his birthday

300
00:23:09,041 --> 00:23:12,541
We will talk about human rights

301
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:20,541
But now I would like to express in principle what
problems concern the Soviet Union such as arms control

302
00:23:20,541 --> 00:23:25,541
including strategic arms
medium-range missiles the ABM Treaty and

303
00:23:26,041 --> 00:23:28,291
The cessation of
nuclear testing,

304
00:23:28,958 --> 00:23:30,291
yes, I agree with your approach

305
00:23:30,666 --> 00:23:34,916
However, it is important that you know
the force of public opinion in the USA

306
00:23:37,500 --> 00:23:38,750
We are a nation of immigrants

307
00:23:40,500 --> 00:23:41,750
One out of every eight Americans

308
00:23:42,500 --> 00:23:46,625
has some relations with your vast
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics

309
00:23:47,708 --> 00:23:49,083
and of course, I I

310
00:23:50,083 --> 00:23:56,125
Understand this national spiritual tie since I as
an Irishman feel these ties myself with Ireland

311
00:23:57,708 --> 00:24:04,875
Therefore I see that all Americans are concerned about what
is going on in your country because we are all immigrants

312
00:24:06,958 --> 00:24:10,333
And it will be easier to conclude
agreements on various arms questions

313
00:24:11,333 --> 00:24:13,250
when public opinion
is not angered by

314
00:24:13,250 --> 00:24:16,708
Some events in the countries
of their cultural heritage

315
00:24:21,333 --> 00:24:27,625
However, I agree that these problems are secondary
as compared with the problems of nuclear arms

316
00:24:29,250 --> 00:24:30,583
Our situation is unique

317
00:24:31,125 --> 00:24:32,125
in human history

318
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,416
Here we are the two of us

319
00:24:37,541 --> 00:24:38,791
sitting together in a room

320
00:24:40,375 --> 00:24:42,000
Deciding whether
there will be peace

321
00:24:42,708 --> 00:24:43,750
or war in the world

322
00:24:47,958 --> 00:24:48,958
We Both want peace

323
00:24:50,916 --> 00:24:52,000
But how will we achieve it?

324
00:24:53,625 --> 00:24:55,166
How do we strengthen trust

325
00:24:56,083 --> 00:24:59,666
and reduce suspicion
between our two peoples?

326
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:15,875
I will consider your request

327
00:25:20,416 --> 00:25:22,958
Thank you, mr. General secretary

328
00:25:23,958 --> 00:25:24,958
I may continue

329
00:25:38,833 --> 00:25:41,958
For Pete's sake Austin how many
waffles did you have for breakfast

330
00:25:42,750 --> 00:25:43,750
got to take a leak?

331
00:25:46,958 --> 00:25:50,458
Oh Yes, if this is the first time
you've seen someone waiting in line

332
00:25:50,958 --> 00:25:53,166
you guys you have to wait
in line for a loaf of bread

333
00:25:55,416 --> 00:25:56,750
KGB doesn't wait for bread.

334
00:25:57,708 --> 00:26:01,583
Oh, yeah, no class warfare when you have the
only guns and they're aimed at the proletariat

335
00:26:35,708 --> 00:26:37,375
Know Hey you with

336
00:26:38,375 --> 00:26:39,958
NPR and I'm Cleo.

337
00:26:40,625 --> 00:26:41,750
You're the Times London.

338
00:26:42,625 --> 00:26:44,166
Yeah, Alexander. How'd you?

339
00:26:45,416 --> 00:26:45,666
write

340
00:26:46,375 --> 00:26:47,791
Just there. I do that

341
00:26:56,875 --> 00:26:57,875
Well

342
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:00,000
This is crazy,

343
00:27:00,666 --> 00:27:02,500
- right - what?

344
00:27:02,916 --> 00:27:05,708
The entire world's press
corps descends on the tiny

345
00:27:05,708 --> 00:27:11,125
Freezing strategic cornerstone of the North Atlantic
only to discover a whole island with no hotels.

346
00:27:11,333 --> 00:27:12,333
No motels.

347
00:27:12,416 --> 00:27:13,583
No bed and breakfast

348
00:27:14,541 --> 00:27:20,666
Not even cars to rent just an old church with cots to
sleep in and a complete media blackout of the actual summit

349
00:27:20,750 --> 00:27:25,791
So instead of covering the leader of the free world and the leader
of the communist empire alone in a room together for the first

350
00:27:25,833 --> 00:27:29,375
Time in 40 years debating whether
we're all gonna die in a mushroom cloud.

351
00:27:29,500 --> 00:27:30,500
We're left here

352
00:27:30,833 --> 00:27:32,416
at a natural hot springs

353
00:27:33,291 --> 00:27:34,375
watching water aerobics

354
00:27:39,583 --> 00:27:40,833
Madam Soviet first lady

355
00:27:41,541 --> 00:27:43,708
The Times I have a question No,

356
00:27:44,750 --> 00:27:47,791
of course, I would be happy
to answer any questions,

357
00:27:48,375 --> 00:27:50,166
but I'm not first lady

358
00:27:51,125 --> 00:27:53,541
I'm sure Nancy Reagan
appreciates the title,

359
00:27:53,916 --> 00:27:58,416
but in the Soviet Union,
we are all truly equal

360
00:27:59,625 --> 00:28:01,958
I'm simply Raisa Gorbacheva.

361
00:28:02,541 --> 00:28:06,333
Ah Yeah, right. Um
This is Gorbacheva

362
00:28:07,375 --> 00:28:10,750
How are you enjoying your time
here on behalf of the Soviet people?

363
00:28:10,750 --> 00:28:12,000
I am very grateful and

364
00:28:12,625 --> 00:28:14,791
Hope we will become friends

365
00:28:16,125 --> 00:28:20,208
As Chekhov and said we must
trust and believe in people

366
00:28:20,916 --> 00:28:22,375
a life becomes impossible

367
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,166
Where is your counterpart mrs.

368
00:28:30,375 --> 00:28:32,541
Reagan, I Don't know.

369
00:28:33,166 --> 00:28:38,625
I Can't imagine leaving my husband at
such a critical time in our world's history

370
00:28:39,500 --> 00:28:41,333
Perhaps she doesn't feel well

371
00:28:47,375 --> 00:28:53,916
For Too many years there has been an overly
complex mechanism of Soviet American dialogue

372
00:28:54,666 --> 00:28:55,666
in this time this

373
00:28:56,416 --> 00:28:59,916
Mechanism of dialogue has
been disrupted several times

374
00:29:00,583 --> 00:29:02,833
and still we are not
resolved on the main questions

375
00:29:04,208 --> 00:29:07,708
Even though many many words have
been said regarding these questions.

376
00:29:07,958 --> 00:29:11,625
I have been frustrated for many
years myself with this lack of progress

377
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,916
So now we find ourselves

378
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,166
in an increasingly
urgent situation

379
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,291
And that is why I have
suggested this meeting with you

380
00:29:26,541 --> 00:29:28,541
I Was very struck

381
00:29:28,833 --> 00:29:34,125
by your first campaign for the presidency
when you suggested a nuclear zero-option

382
00:29:36,625 --> 00:29:37,791
Wonder now if

383
00:29:38,416 --> 00:29:40,125
this was merely rhetoric I

384
00:29:41,625 --> 00:29:43,458
I wonder mr. President because

385
00:29:44,291 --> 00:29:48,375
Despite the millions of protesters
for peace in Western Europe

386
00:29:49,291 --> 00:29:51,666
Despite the condemnation
of many allies

387
00:29:52,291 --> 00:29:56,083
and the political cost to Chancellor
Cole and Prime Minister Thatcher

388
00:29:56,791 --> 00:30:00,625
You have moved intermediate
ballistic missiles into Germany

389
00:30:01,708 --> 00:30:02,708
if launched

390
00:30:03,541 --> 00:30:06,583
These missiles are five
or six minutes from Moscow

391
00:30:09,166 --> 00:30:13,583
You Would give me five or six
minutes to respond to an attack

392
00:30:14,833 --> 00:30:16,041
What do you think would happen?

393
00:30:16,375 --> 00:30:18,458
How am I to respond
to such aggression?

394
00:30:19,958 --> 00:30:23,791
Are these the actions of peace?

395
00:30:42,625 --> 00:30:48,375
I Would remind you

396
00:30:48,958 --> 00:30:53,958
That the United States has placed its
Persian missiles our IRBMs in West Germany

397
00:30:55,083 --> 00:30:56,083
at the request

398
00:30:56,416 --> 00:30:58,291
of a democratically
elected government

399
00:30:59,083 --> 00:31:00,291
and that our number of

400
00:31:00,916 --> 00:31:06,500
108 is less than half of the 279 that
you have stationed in Eastern Europe yet

401
00:31:06,500 --> 00:31:12,000
We have nothing similar threatening Washington in five or
six minutes threatening the free peoples of Brussels Paris,

402
00:31:12,125 --> 00:31:13,333
Rome and London is threatening,

403
00:31:13,833 --> 00:31:18,958
Washington Mr. Gorbachev such is the nuclear umbrella
policy of our security agreements with our allies

404
00:31:19,625 --> 00:31:20,625
an attack on one

405
00:31:20,833 --> 00:31:22,416
Is an attack on all yes,

406
00:31:22,541 --> 00:31:25,041
I am familiar with
NATO article 5 however

407
00:31:26,291 --> 00:31:30,583
We have discussed many times
the subject of arms control

408
00:31:31,875 --> 00:31:32,875
we have many agreements

409
00:31:35,208 --> 00:31:37,250
Yes, are you suggesting

410
00:31:37,750 --> 00:31:42,666
such a thing in Europe with the
IRBMs to limit them to control them -No!

411
00:31:44,125 --> 00:31:47,208
I Am suggesting that the Soviet
Union would be willing to remove

412
00:31:48,791 --> 00:31:53,625
our IRBMs I am suggesting
that we develop an

413
00:31:54,416 --> 00:31:59,000
Agreement on arms
reduction and...

414
00:31:59,583 --> 00:32:08,125
That's nuclear intermediate-range ballistic
missiles in Europe can be reduced to zero

415
00:32:25,083 --> 00:32:29,083
We would be open

416
00:32:32,875 --> 00:32:34,541
To discussing such an agreement

417
00:32:50,166 --> 00:32:53,208
Was available for questions

418
00:32:53,708 --> 00:32:55,791
When asked why the first
lady was not also available.

419
00:32:56,583 --> 00:32:59,541
She suggested that perhaps
health concerns had prevented mrs.

420
00:32:59,791 --> 00:33:00,833
Reagan from making the trip

421
00:33:03,833 --> 00:33:06,458
Samantha I'll need my
press secretary as well.

422
00:33:06,750 --> 00:33:07,750
Thank you

423
00:33:13,666 --> 00:33:15,875
And what about the
missiles in Asia

424
00:33:16,958 --> 00:33:19,416
IRBMs that have a range of
a thousand kilometers or less

425
00:33:19,958 --> 00:33:23,208
our proposal only
Concerns Europe

426
00:33:25,083 --> 00:33:26,208
There's a small problem

427
00:33:27,291 --> 00:33:30,333
I am NOT authorized to negotiate the
nuclear forces of Britain and France.

428
00:33:30,500 --> 00:33:31,500
Mr. Gorbachev.

429
00:33:31,791 --> 00:33:33,708
I am aware that
you are neither mrs

430
00:33:34,208 --> 00:33:35,958
Thatcher nor mr. Mitterrand

431
00:33:36,666 --> 00:33:38,833
So you are saying
that your proposal

432
00:33:39,833 --> 00:33:42,625
would include only us
and Soviet Union weapons

433
00:33:43,458 --> 00:33:47,750
I am Britain France have the right
to keep theirs as a part of their own

434
00:33:48,250 --> 00:33:50,041
defensive posture

435
00:33:50,708 --> 00:33:56,541
I Would hope you'd encourage them to see that by
withdrawing our weapons we leave our Warsaw Pact allies

436
00:33:57,541 --> 00:34:01,583
Vulnerable that their NATO
weapons are an unaligned threat

437
00:34:02,583 --> 00:34:05,125
and that there is then
no deterrence for us.

438
00:34:06,208 --> 00:34:12,166
I Would hope you would help your NATO allies to
see that their weapons were no longer necessary

439
00:34:13,833 --> 00:34:17,750
And you won't simply paint over the
Soviet flag with an East German flag.

440
00:34:17,916 --> 00:34:19,791
They're black Magically

441
00:34:20,500 --> 00:34:22,583
Soviet missile becomes
an East German one.

442
00:34:24,666 --> 00:34:25,666
I Will not

443
00:34:26,083 --> 00:34:28,791
what assurances do we have?

444
00:34:30,333 --> 00:34:32,708
My words and that
of the Soviet Union

445
00:34:34,750 --> 00:34:36,791
You'll forgive me.
Mr. General secretary

446
00:34:37,875 --> 00:34:43,291
But we have a long history of finding the USSR
to be cheating on its international obligations

447
00:34:44,166 --> 00:34:46,333
Including those to
the United States

448
00:34:46,958 --> 00:34:56,208
You have a long history of suspicion of us and a history
of covert activities in sovereign nations hostile to you

449
00:34:57,250 --> 00:35:01,416
I Was sorry to hear of your
recent misfortunes with the Contras

450
00:35:06,625 --> 00:35:12,416
I Hope you will see this proposal
as a bold new initiative for peace

451
00:35:18,625 --> 00:35:25,083
You There is a very old
Russian saying a proverb

452
00:35:26,916 --> 00:35:28,333
Dovii no probi I

453
00:35:30,708 --> 00:35:32,583
Trust but verify. Yes.

454
00:35:33,750 --> 00:35:35,125
How do you propose we do that?

455
00:35:38,375 --> 00:35:43,291
Perhaps it's as simple as letting American personnel
observe their removal of your missiles from Europe

456
00:35:44,625 --> 00:35:45,625
This is not possible

457
00:35:46,375 --> 00:35:51,125
My military will never allow an enemy to
observe our most closely guarded technology

458
00:35:51,125 --> 00:35:55,416
How would it be different if you were to
observe us we would have the same problem?

459
00:35:55,958 --> 00:35:57,083
but our military is...

460
00:35:58,333 --> 00:36:02,166
Still reports to our
civilian leadership to me

461
00:36:03,208 --> 00:36:04,208
Is yours

462
00:36:06,916 --> 00:36:07,916
Trust but verify

463
00:36:08,875 --> 00:36:09,875
Yes

464
00:36:12,041 --> 00:36:16,666
Did you say it we would be
willing to discuss such an agreement

465
00:36:19,875 --> 00:36:20,875
No

466
00:36:22,958 --> 00:36:25,291
What about those IRBMs in Asia I

467
00:36:55,291 --> 00:36:57,541
What happened to
solidarity, comrade?

468
00:36:58,208 --> 00:37:00,541
From each according
to their ability,

469
00:37:00,791 --> 00:37:02,541
to each according to their need.

470
00:37:03,583 --> 00:37:05,000
You do not need to
quote Marx to me.

471
00:37:05,583 --> 00:37:06,833
How about life,

472
00:37:07,291 --> 00:37:08,625
liberty, and
pursuit of happiness?

473
00:37:09,500 --> 00:37:10,958
You've heard of that one? Yes,

474
00:37:11,500 --> 00:37:12,500
written by a slaveholder.

475
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:14,083
A conveniently capitalist.

476
00:37:14,875 --> 00:37:17,250
Yeah, well, at least
he didn't massacre

477
00:37:17,666 --> 00:37:19,458
20 million farmers like Stalin.

478
00:37:20,916 --> 00:37:21,916
That's enough.

479
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:24,333
Go upstairs and get me a coffee.

480
00:37:38,416 --> 00:37:41,791
Did you expect me to
abandon my Asian allies?

481
00:37:42,416 --> 00:37:45,375
We have no intermediate
ballistic missiles in Asia,

482
00:37:45,500 --> 00:37:47,291
at least not ones
that are nuclear-tipped.

483
00:37:48,166 --> 00:37:49,916
What do you expect
me to withdraw?

484
00:37:50,750 --> 00:37:53,458
I expect the United States
to have the same regard

485
00:37:53,500 --> 00:37:55,875
for Soviet concerns as
you have for your own.

486
00:37:57,125 --> 00:38:00,666
Are we not mutually assured
partners in destruction?

487
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:05,083
Shall we not be mutually
assured partners in reduction?

488
00:38:06,625 --> 00:38:07,791
That's a great turn of phrase.

489
00:38:10,333 --> 00:38:11,333
You mock me?

490
00:38:11,541 --> 00:38:13,708
No, on the contrary,
Mr. Gorbachev, I salute you.

491
00:38:14,541 --> 00:38:17,000
You have a better command of
English than I ever could of Russian.

492
00:38:17,625 --> 00:38:18,625
Let me ask you this.

493
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,500
What is the difference
between Brussels and Tokyo?

494
00:38:25,291 --> 00:38:26,833
Sushi is better in Tokyo.

495
00:38:27,875 --> 00:38:30,125
Well, yes, that's
very funny, sir, but no.

496
00:38:30,625 --> 00:38:33,333
I mean, you have
suggested that we remove

497
00:38:33,375 --> 00:38:35,500
our nuclear protection
of Belgium by

498
00:38:36,083 --> 00:38:37,250
removing our Persian missiles.

499
00:38:37,708 --> 00:38:38,791
Yes. And yet,

500
00:38:39,291 --> 00:38:41,541
we have none protecting
our Japanese allies,

501
00:38:41,666 --> 00:38:43,375
but you have ones that
could threaten them.

502
00:38:43,625 --> 00:38:50,291
You have 6 ,500 nuclear warheads aboard
American submarines all over the world,

503
00:38:51,375 --> 00:38:54,375
more than 800 of which are
multiple reentry vehicles,

504
00:38:54,791 --> 00:38:57,250
multiple warheads per missile.

505
00:38:58,375 --> 00:39:00,083
And we know as equally as you do

506
00:39:00,083 --> 00:39:02,250
of the greater accuracy
of American missiles.

507
00:39:02,750 --> 00:39:04,583
You're upset that
we're good at what we do?

508
00:39:04,916 --> 00:39:07,166
I am explaining that
you have submarines

509
00:39:07,166 --> 00:39:09,250
in the Pacific defending Japan.

510
00:39:09,583 --> 00:39:11,041
And you have none
threatening it?

511
00:39:11,333 --> 00:39:12,625
The numbers are not equal.

512
00:39:13,291 --> 00:39:15,458
We have more land-based IRBMs.

513
00:39:15,916 --> 00:39:17,250
You have more submarines.

514
00:39:18,125 --> 00:39:20,958
But you expect me to
withdraw my Asian missiles

515
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:22,625
while you offer no compromise,

516
00:39:22,708 --> 00:39:24,000
be it submarine or otherwise.

517
00:39:24,250 --> 00:39:26,625
I am not going to
leave our Asian allies,

518
00:39:26,750 --> 00:39:29,750
none of whom have nuclear
forces of their own, defenseless.

519
00:39:30,291 --> 00:39:32,125
Yet you are asking me to leave

520
00:39:32,125 --> 00:39:34,166
my Warsaw Pact
allies defenseless

521
00:39:34,208 --> 00:39:37,416
while I let your NATO allies
keep their nuclear weapons.

522
00:39:37,708 --> 00:39:42,291
I am not asking anything of you,
Mr. Gorbachev. You are asking me.

523
00:39:44,125 --> 00:39:46,708
The arrogance of the Americans.

524
00:39:47,833 --> 00:39:50,666
A compromising arrogance.

525
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,416
What are you suggesting?

526
00:40:33,291 --> 00:40:34,291
I am suggesting

527
00:40:35,500 --> 00:40:36,833
that while I have proposed

528
00:40:37,541 --> 00:40:39,833
decoupling the question
of your NATO allies

529
00:40:40,416 --> 00:40:44,208
and their nuclear forces from
the IRBM equation in Europe,

530
00:40:44,375 --> 00:40:45,583
I have agreed, have I not,

531
00:40:46,125 --> 00:40:48,416
that they are separate
from the issue between us.

532
00:40:49,458 --> 00:40:52,708
You are not allowing that
Asia is another separate issue.

533
00:40:54,333 --> 00:40:55,958
How am I to compromise with you

534
00:40:56,583 --> 00:40:58,708
when you will do nothing
of the sort with me?

535
00:41:09,583 --> 00:41:13,458
It is near the time for the
first session this morning to end,

536
00:41:13,833 --> 00:41:16,666
Mr. Gorbachev. Perhaps we should
update our foreign ministers.

537
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:22,958
And in the spirit of compromise,

538
00:41:24,458 --> 00:41:27,708
I will advise Maynard
that we wish to pursue...

539
00:41:28,291 --> 00:41:31,250
this deal relevant to the
European IRBM reduction.

540
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,500
I'll ask him to have our staff
draft some language for it.

541
00:41:35,416 --> 00:41:36,958
With your approval, of course.

542
00:41:37,708 --> 00:41:38,916
This is satisfactory.

543
00:41:39,791 --> 00:41:41,041
We will meet again at 3 p.m.?

544
00:41:42,291 --> 00:41:43,291
Of course.

545
00:42:07,875 --> 00:42:09,125
Stand to, gents.

546
00:42:10,208 --> 00:42:11,208
Gorbachev came to play.

547
00:42:11,541 --> 00:42:12,541
What's going on?

548
00:42:12,958 --> 00:42:16,125
Soviets are saying that they will
withdraw their IRBMs from Eastern Europe

549
00:42:16,125 --> 00:42:17,125
if we pull the Pershings.

550
00:42:17,291 --> 00:42:18,291
We're sure?

551
00:42:19,750 --> 00:42:21,208
We have work to do.

552
00:42:21,208 --> 00:42:22,791
No chance the call is
going to throw a fit.

553
00:42:22,833 --> 00:42:23,916
He just spent two years,

554
00:42:23,958 --> 00:42:25,708
and every last ounce
of political capital

555
00:42:25,750 --> 00:42:26,875
he has to move them in there.

556
00:42:28,583 --> 00:42:30,583
He had a million people
on the streets protesting.

557
00:42:31,291 --> 00:42:33,125
We'll worry about him
when we have a deal.

558
00:42:33,291 --> 00:42:35,125
For now, let's get
started on the details.

559
00:42:35,666 --> 00:42:36,666
A phased withdrawal?

560
00:42:36,791 --> 00:42:37,791
Seems right, but...

561
00:42:37,833 --> 00:42:40,875
First priority is determining
how it would be certified.

562
00:42:41,958 --> 00:42:42,958
Doverei, no proverei.

563
00:42:43,708 --> 00:42:44,708
Trust but verify?

564
00:42:45,208 --> 00:42:48,500
Russians will never let a Yankee
soldier on their rocket pads to observe.

565
00:42:49,125 --> 00:42:50,125
Never happened.

566
00:42:51,500 --> 00:42:52,041
No. He didn't.

567
00:42:52,333 --> 00:42:53,875
He knows this
could be his legacy.

568
00:42:55,125 --> 00:42:56,125
The president's legacy.

569
00:42:57,291 --> 00:42:58,291
Our legacy. There's

570
00:42:58,916 --> 00:43:02,208
plenty of room on this boat for
all of our resumes and reputations.

571
00:43:03,208 --> 00:43:04,625
I'll see about
getting us some food.

572
00:43:04,916 --> 00:43:06,083
You get to work on a proposal.

573
00:43:06,583 --> 00:43:07,666
Shouldn't the boss be here?

574
00:43:07,750 --> 00:43:08,750
Where is he?

575
00:43:09,250 --> 00:43:10,458
He's doing the
smart thing, Pearl.

576
00:43:10,500 --> 00:43:10,791
Resting.

577
00:43:11,208 --> 00:43:12,375
You know something about that.

578
00:44:07,791 --> 00:44:09,208
It's just chicken salad, Fred.

579
00:44:31,083 --> 00:44:31,333
Yes?

580
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:33,000
How are you?

581
00:44:33,250 --> 00:44:34,250
What is that music?

582
00:44:34,625 --> 00:44:36,791
I tried to find
something by Rostropovich,

583
00:44:37,166 --> 00:44:39,166
but they don't have it.

584
00:44:39,750 --> 00:44:41,458
I'm sure he'd play
here when you get home.

585
00:44:41,791 --> 00:44:45,250
Well, let's see if I can get his sister out
of the Soviet Union for his birthday first.

586
00:44:46,125 --> 00:44:47,458
Gorbachev isn't exactly Gandhi.

587
00:44:48,666 --> 00:44:49,833
Are there reindeer in Iceland?

588
00:44:49,916 --> 00:44:51,583
I'm pretty sure I'm
staring at a reindeer.

589
00:44:52,416 --> 00:44:53,416
I don't know.

590
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:55,958
I'm going to have to
inquire about our ambassador.

591
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:57,666
He shouldn't be hunting
the rare, indigenous,

592
00:44:57,708 --> 00:44:59,083
endangered Icelandic reindeer.

593
00:45:00,583 --> 00:45:02,958
Environmentalist lobby will
never let me hear the end of it.

594
00:45:03,416 --> 00:45:04,416
Oh, Ronnie.

595
00:45:05,208 --> 00:45:07,500
I don't think the
environmentalists vote Republican.

596
00:45:08,083 --> 00:45:10,125
Well, I won 49 out
of the 50 states,

597
00:45:10,333 --> 00:45:10,541
Nance.

598
00:45:10,833 --> 00:45:12,125
Some of those votes
were Democrats.

599
00:45:12,166 --> 00:45:13,750
Some of them care
about the environment.

600
00:45:16,416 --> 00:45:18,666
She told reporters I was ill.

601
00:45:19,625 --> 00:45:22,041
Raisa Gorbachev is just
enjoying the spotlight.

602
00:45:22,125 --> 00:45:24,500
You know, they don't even know
her name back home in Russia.

603
00:45:25,958 --> 00:45:27,958
KGB cuts her out of
pictures before the press.

604
00:45:28,125 --> 00:45:31,166
Well, what they call the
press can print it in the paper.

605
00:45:32,125 --> 00:45:33,750
She doesn't exist back there.

606
00:45:33,875 --> 00:45:34,875
That's got to be tough.

607
00:45:35,750 --> 00:45:37,250
I'm not in this
for the spotlight.

608
00:45:38,541 --> 00:45:39,541
I know.

609
00:45:41,708 --> 00:45:44,000
There is something
weird about reindeer.

610
00:45:45,500 --> 00:45:46,500
Maybe just dead ones.

611
00:45:47,375 --> 00:45:48,750
Santa's all wrong about them.

612
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:50,000
It's like a...

613
00:45:51,541 --> 00:45:53,666
It's like a menagerie
of death in here.

614
00:45:55,041 --> 00:45:56,041
What are you working on?

615
00:45:56,708 --> 00:45:58,041
Oh, uh, nothing.

616
00:45:58,250 --> 00:46:00,250
Just some little stuff my
office has been planning.

617
00:46:00,750 --> 00:46:04,125
Listen, I'll tell them to issue
a statement that you're healthy.

618
00:46:04,833 --> 00:46:06,416
No, I can take care of myself.

619
00:46:08,125 --> 00:46:10,416
And I've got lots
to do here, and

620
00:46:11,250 --> 00:46:12,458
you've got a ballgame.

621
00:46:12,583 --> 00:46:13,625
You stay focused there.

622
00:46:14,416 --> 00:46:15,416
Love you. Okay.

623
00:46:16,166 --> 00:46:17,333
Bye.

624
00:46:44,541 --> 00:46:46,791
♪♪ Aah! Aah!

625
00:47:08,291 --> 00:47:09,291
Sir.

626
00:47:09,875 --> 00:47:10,958
What happened to your shirt?

627
00:47:12,583 --> 00:47:13,583
Chicken salad sandwich.

628
00:47:14,916 --> 00:47:17,041
Come on in. Ah.

629
00:47:17,583 --> 00:47:18,875
Plenty of time
for you to change.

630
00:47:24,916 --> 00:47:26,125
Something on your mind, George?

631
00:47:27,500 --> 00:47:27,875
Speak up.

632
00:47:28,500 --> 00:47:30,500
I've been going over the
proposal with our team, sir.

633
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:34,041
It's been a big day already.

634
00:47:34,291 --> 00:47:35,666
You want to quit
while we're ahead?

635
00:47:35,750 --> 00:47:36,750
The thought had occurred.

636
00:47:37,416 --> 00:47:38,666
Every missile out of Europe.

637
00:47:39,958 --> 00:47:40,958
That's a hell of a legacy.

638
00:47:42,416 --> 00:47:44,083
Someday you're going
to have to explain to me

639
00:47:44,083 --> 00:47:46,916
what legacy means to all
you East Coast bluebloods.

640
00:47:48,083 --> 00:47:50,291
That means the next
generation is better off...

641
00:47:50,333 --> 00:47:51,458
because of something you did.

642
00:47:52,875 --> 00:47:55,458
I'm sorry, sir. That came out

643
00:47:56,041 --> 00:47:57,125
snarkier than I intended.

644
00:47:57,541 --> 00:47:58,875
I didn't hire you
for your suits.

645
00:48:00,083 --> 00:48:01,166
I hired you for your candor.

646
00:48:06,500 --> 00:48:07,500
We're not done yet.

647
00:48:08,958 --> 00:48:10,625
You want to talk about
human rights again?

648
00:48:11,916 --> 00:48:16,000
Yeah, I do. Why?

649
00:48:16,083 --> 00:48:18,500
It'll only annoy him that
they'll try to avoid it?

650
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:20,875
Yeah, all the more reason.

651
00:48:21,250 --> 00:48:23,333
If you poke the
Russian bear too hard,

652
00:48:23,625 --> 00:48:25,250
he will react poorly.

653
00:48:26,166 --> 00:48:27,166
You trust me, George?

654
00:48:28,458 --> 00:48:29,458
Of course, Mr. President.

655
00:48:30,750 --> 00:48:32,333
Don't give me that
salute to the flag answer.

656
00:48:32,375 --> 00:48:33,375
I asked you a question.

657
00:48:34,166 --> 00:48:35,666
Establishment thinks
I'm a war monger.

658
00:48:36,791 --> 00:48:37,791
Dangerous.

659
00:48:39,583 --> 00:48:42,625
What's the difference between me
and any other chucklehead on TV...

660
00:48:42,666 --> 00:48:43,750
except now I'm in the Oval?

661
00:48:46,208 --> 00:48:49,208
I'm asking why you trust me.

662
00:48:49,583 --> 00:48:51,791
New York boy,
Princeton, upper class.

663
00:48:52,458 --> 00:48:53,750
You're part of
the establishment.

664
00:48:57,708 --> 00:49:00,125
I trust you because
you're right.

665
00:49:00,625 --> 00:49:01,708
It can't just be diplomacy.

666
00:49:03,416 --> 00:49:06,583
The Soviets will not listen
to us unless we are strong.

667
00:49:07,416 --> 00:49:08,875
Peace through strength.

668
00:49:10,375 --> 00:49:11,708
We tried everything else.

669
00:49:13,125 --> 00:49:15,833
Engagement, encirclement,
low-intensity conflicts.

670
00:49:17,291 --> 00:49:20,208
Nothing worked until
your military build-up.

671
00:49:22,625 --> 00:49:23,625
You got us here, sir.

672
00:49:23,708 --> 00:49:24,833
You got them to the table.

673
00:49:26,791 --> 00:49:28,541
If you can't make
them see the light,

674
00:49:29,291 --> 00:49:30,583
make sure they feel the heat.

675
00:49:32,500 --> 00:49:33,500
That was a good line.

676
00:49:37,416 --> 00:49:41,000
You tell me if you
think we should call it.

677
00:49:42,500 --> 00:49:44,041
If we get right up
to that red line.

678
00:49:46,625 --> 00:49:48,250
For now, let's see
how far they'll bend.

679
00:49:49,375 --> 00:49:50,416
Let's see how today ends.

680
00:49:51,500 --> 00:49:52,500
If it's a stalemate,

681
00:49:54,500 --> 00:49:55,500
I'll reconsider.

682
00:49:56,583 --> 00:49:57,583
Yes, sir.

683
00:50:19,708 --> 00:50:23,125
We resume this afternoon
with our Secretary of State,

684
00:50:23,208 --> 00:50:26,000
George Shultz, and your Foreign
Minister, Edward Shepard Monson.

685
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:28,000
Mr. General Secretary,

686
00:50:28,208 --> 00:50:30,250
we are pleased with
the morning's progress.

687
00:50:30,833 --> 00:50:32,708
Our team believes that
we can find a way...

688
00:50:32,708 --> 00:50:35,750
to reduce the
European IRBMs to zero.

689
00:50:36,541 --> 00:50:37,666
Thank you, Mr. President.

690
00:50:38,666 --> 00:50:39,666
This is very good news.

691
00:50:40,166 --> 00:50:42,041
I wonder if now
might be the time

692
00:50:42,041 --> 00:50:43,916
to turn our discussions
to human rights.

693
00:50:44,833 --> 00:50:48,791
For instance, Mr. Rostropovich,
we are a nation of immigrants.

694
00:50:49,125 --> 00:50:51,625
We take their rights and their
families' rights very seriously,

695
00:50:52,041 --> 00:50:53,041
Secretary General.

696
00:50:53,083 --> 00:50:54,958
If we could discuss
his sister's visit.

697
00:50:55,250 --> 00:50:56,583
As you stated before,

698
00:50:57,166 --> 00:51:01,750
and as I stated before, we would first like
to continue on the subject of arms reduction.

699
00:51:05,333 --> 00:51:06,333
Okay.

700
00:51:06,958 --> 00:51:08,166
We have a further proposal.

701
00:51:09,500 --> 00:51:11,750
Our Foreign Minister
and I have been discussing

702
00:51:11,791 --> 00:51:14,291
the nuclear triad,
as you call it.

703
00:51:14,791 --> 00:51:18,916
Yes, our strategy relies upon
a three-point threat deterrence,

704
00:51:19,708 --> 00:51:22,125
our land-based intercontinental
ballistic missiles,

705
00:51:22,458 --> 00:51:25,166
our long-range strategic
air command of bombers

706
00:51:25,208 --> 00:51:26,875
with their cruise missiles, and

707
00:51:27,500 --> 00:51:28,750
our submarine-launched missiles.

708
00:51:29,458 --> 00:51:30,500
You have something similar.

709
00:51:31,250 --> 00:51:33,083
We don't have nearly
the same numbers

710
00:51:33,625 --> 00:51:35,333
of submarines or bombers.

711
00:51:35,708 --> 00:51:37,625
Our strategy relies
almost entirely

712
00:51:37,625 --> 00:51:41,458
on the overwhelming
superiority of our ICBMs.

713
00:51:42,166 --> 00:51:42,708
Superiority?

714
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:45,208
You have a number that's
vastly greater than our own.

715
00:51:45,375 --> 00:51:46,625
I might call it redundancy.

716
00:51:47,500 --> 00:51:48,500
We could, however,

717
00:51:48,708 --> 00:51:53,583
reclassify all these weapons
as strategic offensive armaments.

718
00:51:54,958 --> 00:51:55,958
In years past,

719
00:51:56,291 --> 00:51:57,291
our predecessors,

720
00:51:57,833 --> 00:52:00,958
going all the way back to the
advent of the hydrogen bomb,

721
00:52:01,416 --> 00:52:05,375
have tried to restrain the
development of these weapons,

722
00:52:05,541 --> 00:52:09,041
mostly the ICBMs, but also
the bombers and other types,

723
00:52:09,500 --> 00:52:12,583
to control the
expansion of arms.

724
00:52:12,958 --> 00:52:14,875
Yes? Yes. They have failed.

725
00:52:16,083 --> 00:52:18,583
We have tens of thousands
of these weapons anyway,

726
00:52:18,750 --> 00:52:20,083
all pointed at each other.

727
00:52:20,583 --> 00:52:22,750
You propose a new
plan for these weapons?

728
00:52:23,291 --> 00:52:27,041
We propose using this morning's
European plan as our guide

729
00:52:27,583 --> 00:52:30,125
to reduce these weapons as well.

730
00:52:41,833 --> 00:52:44,833
And, uh, you wanted to
quit while we were ahead.

731
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:47,208
You're not going to let me
live that down, are you, sir?

732
00:52:47,541 --> 00:52:49,625
Never. Okay.

733
00:52:50,250 --> 00:52:52,208
Your turn at bat. Swing away.

734
00:52:56,958 --> 00:53:00,208
We agree this would
be an admirable goal,

735
00:53:01,958 --> 00:53:03,541
perhaps by as much as one-third.

736
00:53:08,875 --> 00:53:10,416
Or even by half?

737
00:53:11,875 --> 00:53:12,875
Half?

738
00:53:15,416 --> 00:53:16,416
Fifty percent.

739
00:53:17,083 --> 00:53:18,083
That is correct.

740
00:53:19,291 --> 00:53:20,500
In land-based ICBMs?

741
00:53:22,333 --> 00:53:25,000
In all, huh?

742
00:53:25,541 --> 00:53:27,041
All parts of the Triad.

743
00:53:29,041 --> 00:53:31,416
Which would still leave you
a significant advantage...

744
00:53:31,458 --> 00:53:35,291
in land-based and
mobile-launched ICBMs.

745
00:53:35,500 --> 00:53:37,541
We understand and
are prepared to discuss

746
00:53:38,125 --> 00:53:39,500
how this goal could be achieved.

747
00:53:39,833 --> 00:53:42,791
What I'm asking is, is
this of interest to you?

748
00:53:46,541 --> 00:53:47,541
It certainly is.

749
00:53:48,666 --> 00:53:51,000
Good.

750
00:53:52,625 --> 00:53:53,625
We are making progress.

751
00:53:55,500 --> 00:53:56,916
Seems like Christmas
has come early.

752
00:53:58,041 --> 00:54:01,625
What does your religious
holiday have to do with this?

753
00:54:02,083 --> 00:54:03,083
Nothing. I'm sorry.

754
00:54:03,208 --> 00:54:04,333
I forget you're all atheists.

755
00:54:07,250 --> 00:54:09,166
Although, it, uh...

756
00:54:10,833 --> 00:54:13,625
Well, it seems to me that the
party is about the same as the church.

757
00:54:14,708 --> 00:54:17,916
You're true believers in the
party, right? Sir ,perhaps.

758
00:54:18,666 --> 00:54:23,750
Please, continue with your
thoughts, Mr. President.

759
00:54:24,041 --> 00:54:26,375
Well, I mean, you
deny religion is hokum,

760
00:54:27,083 --> 00:54:28,083
bunk, nonsense,

761
00:54:28,416 --> 00:54:30,000
and there can't be
an almighty party

762
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:31,708
when there's an
almighty God above it,

763
00:54:31,916 --> 00:54:33,708
so your people can't worship.

764
00:54:33,958 --> 00:54:36,500
They, uh, they have
to worship the party.

765
00:54:37,750 --> 00:54:38,750
Mm.

766
00:54:39,666 --> 00:54:42,666
To paraphrase the
words of our, um,

767
00:54:44,125 --> 00:54:47,416
theology, we believe
religion is a false prophet

768
00:54:48,250 --> 00:54:50,833
promising the people things they
ought to achieve for themselves.

769
00:54:51,250 --> 00:54:55,708
And yet you make them stand in
line for bread and milk and shoes

770
00:54:56,208 --> 00:54:58,958
and then deny them the hereafter
that would suggest that their,

771
00:54:59,500 --> 00:55:00,875
well, their suffering
is temporary.

772
00:55:01,500 --> 00:55:04,500
They have nothing to look
forward to, this life or the next.

773
00:55:05,500 --> 00:55:06,916
No wonder they're so pissed off.

774
00:55:07,458 --> 00:55:09,875
The Soviet people
are not pissed off.

775
00:55:10,458 --> 00:55:11,666
Then why do they want to leave?

776
00:55:11,708 --> 00:55:14,166
Why do you have to keep
them locked up behind walls

777
00:55:14,291 --> 00:55:15,625
like the one in Berlin?

778
00:55:16,791 --> 00:55:17,791
Why not tear it down?

779
00:55:18,291 --> 00:55:19,958
This is Western propaganda,

780
00:55:20,208 --> 00:55:21,291
your voice of America.

781
00:55:21,666 --> 00:55:23,375
Which you keep trying
to jam the signal of.

782
00:55:23,541 --> 00:55:25,875
And we have nothing like
it attacking American ears.

783
00:55:26,333 --> 00:55:28,791
You won't even let our
movies into your cinemas.

784
00:55:29,541 --> 00:55:31,500
And yet you call
this free speech?

785
00:55:31,875 --> 00:55:32,875
Hmm? Open debate?

786
00:55:33,416 --> 00:55:34,583
Well, that's the
difference, gentlemen.

787
00:55:34,625 --> 00:55:37,708
The Republican Party doesn't
control what goes on the radio or TV.

788
00:55:37,916 --> 00:55:39,083
We don't have our own channel.

789
00:55:40,041 --> 00:55:42,500
If you make something that the
American people actually want to watch,

790
00:55:42,541 --> 00:55:43,625
I guarantee they'll play it.

791
00:55:43,791 --> 00:55:47,291
Media companies don't care if you're
religious or fascist or nihilist.

792
00:55:47,458 --> 00:55:48,583
They just want to make money.

793
00:55:48,833 --> 00:55:50,458
Yes, the great

794
00:55:51,041 --> 00:55:54,166
American distraction,
making money.

795
00:55:55,083 --> 00:55:57,958
And you are trying to distract
us from our purpose here.

796
00:55:58,458 --> 00:55:59,458
This is pointless.

797
00:55:59,791 --> 00:56:03,166
I got an intelligence report
the other day from our CIA.

798
00:56:03,625 --> 00:56:06,750
They were assessing
your economic conditions,

799
00:56:07,708 --> 00:56:09,000
tracking a bread line in Moscow.

800
00:56:09,875 --> 00:56:10,875
There was a guy, Boris,

801
00:56:11,416 --> 00:56:12,791
and he was in
front of our agent.

802
00:56:12,916 --> 00:56:16,583
He got so pissed off that
he left the bread line.

803
00:56:16,833 --> 00:56:18,250
He said he was
going to go find you,

804
00:56:18,416 --> 00:56:21,750
Mr. General Secretary, and
bludgeon you with a hammer and sickle.

805
00:56:23,458 --> 00:56:25,791
Well, poor old Boris, he
came back about an hour later,

806
00:56:25,916 --> 00:56:27,916
and when our agent
asked him why, he said,

807
00:56:28,750 --> 00:56:31,875
the only line longer than the one
for bread was the one to attack you.

808
00:56:31,875 --> 00:56:33,875
Ha-ha-ha.

809
00:56:46,291 --> 00:56:58,666
Er, ha-ha.

810
00:56:59,916 --> 00:57:03,875
You see, Mr. President, you're not the
only one with public opinion problems.

811
00:57:04,500 --> 00:57:08,166
We both must answer
to the people.

812
00:57:09,416 --> 00:57:15,291
Yes, but my people, if they criticize
me publicly, don't get sent to the gulag.

813
00:57:16,916 --> 00:57:17,916
True.

814
00:57:18,166 --> 00:57:19,916
And my people can't shoot me.

815
00:57:30,375 --> 00:57:32,666
We must also
ascertain throw weight.

816
00:57:34,916 --> 00:57:37,833
The amount of weight a
missile itself can carry,

817
00:57:38,166 --> 00:57:40,625
how much a warhead
or warheads can weigh.

818
00:57:42,375 --> 00:57:44,500
Your missiles can
carry a heavier payload,

819
00:57:44,666 --> 00:57:48,416
so equal number of missiles does
not mean equal number of warheads.

820
00:57:51,875 --> 00:57:52,875
Let us discuss it.

821
00:57:58,291 --> 00:57:59,291
Yes, sir.

822
00:58:09,291 --> 00:58:10,625
Hold on, guys.

823
00:58:11,375 --> 00:58:12,875
Perhaps I should
become a capitalist,

824
00:58:13,333 --> 00:58:14,958
and I could sell you
time in my restroom.

825
00:58:23,500 --> 00:58:24,500
Colonel.

826
00:58:28,416 --> 00:58:29,750
Deep down to comrade.

827
00:59:00,875 --> 00:59:03,333
Any idea why she's
looking at the Prose Edda?

828
00:59:05,666 --> 00:59:08,166
The ancient Icelandic text.

829
00:59:08,541 --> 00:59:09,791
Odin, Thor, Loki.

830
00:59:10,500 --> 00:59:13,083
All their culture and religion
and things rolled into one.

831
00:59:13,708 --> 00:59:15,416
Why would you possibly know...

832
00:59:15,416 --> 00:59:17,208
Oh, of course. NPR.

833
00:59:17,625 --> 00:59:18,625
Snorri Sturluson.

834
00:59:19,041 --> 00:59:20,750
Snorri... Oh, come on.

835
00:59:20,916 --> 00:59:22,625
That's the author
of the Prose Edda.

836
00:59:23,708 --> 00:59:26,208
Snorri. S-N-O-R-R-I.

837
00:59:26,500 --> 00:59:27,583
Snorri Sturluson. Sturluson,

838
00:59:27,791 --> 00:59:29,791
yeah. So ask her. Ask who?

839
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:31,416
- What?
- The not-First Lady of Russia.

840
00:59:31,833 --> 00:59:33,041
She quoted Chekhov.

841
00:59:33,625 --> 00:59:36,875
I expect she's got a reason we're here
all looking at the Prose Edda, so ask her.

842
00:59:37,625 --> 00:59:38,625
Mrs. Gorbachev.

843
00:59:39,500 --> 00:59:40,500
National Public Radio.

844
00:59:40,916 --> 00:59:42,166
American National Public

845
00:59:42,833 --> 00:59:43,833
Radio.

846
00:59:44,500 --> 00:59:45,500
Why are we here?

847
00:59:45,875 --> 00:59:48,208
We are here to exchange
cultural knowledge,

848
00:59:48,500 --> 00:59:49,500
Miss MPR.

849
00:59:49,875 --> 00:59:52,208
The Prose Edda is a seminal
text in Norse history,

850
00:59:52,500 --> 00:59:55,333
and I'm flattered
to examine it here,

851
00:59:55,958 --> 00:59:57,416
in the land of ice and fire.

852
00:59:57,833 --> 00:59:59,375
I'm sure you've seen
the press release.

853
00:59:59,458 --> 01:00:01,000
Mrs. Reagan is
feeling just fine.

854
01:00:01,625 --> 01:00:05,250
A rather terse and unusual pronouncement
for a weekend from the administration.

855
01:00:06,208 --> 01:00:07,208
You care to comment?

856
01:00:07,875 --> 01:00:09,916
I'm thrilled to hear Mrs.

857
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:11,000
Reagan is well.

858
01:00:11,208 --> 01:00:13,333
I only wish she had
brought her good health here,

859
01:00:13,583 --> 01:00:17,083
so we could share this
incredible honor together,

860
01:00:17,625 --> 01:00:18,666
viewing the Prose Edda.

861
01:00:19,583 --> 01:00:20,875
What's it like
staying on a ship,

862
01:00:21,250 --> 01:00:22,250
Mrs. Gorbachev?

863
01:00:22,416 --> 01:00:23,416
Why not a hotel?

864
01:00:23,750 --> 01:00:25,791
I was told it is
for security reasons.

865
01:00:27,750 --> 01:00:29,041
But I must tell you,

866
01:00:29,958 --> 01:00:30,958
it is very romantic.

867
01:00:41,625 --> 01:00:42,625
Huh. Romantic.

868
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:46,000
That's one mental image I
won't get out of my head.

869
01:00:46,250 --> 01:00:47,666
They're entitled
to their happiness.

870
01:00:48,458 --> 01:00:49,458
Aren't we all?

871
01:00:51,250 --> 01:00:52,125
I'm calling it.

872
01:00:52,291 --> 01:00:53,958
I can't imagine my
editor will care.

873
01:00:54,416 --> 01:00:56,625
Saturday afternoon on
NPR is always a dead zone.

874
01:00:58,291 --> 01:00:59,416
Let's find a bar. Schnapps.

875
01:01:03,375 --> 01:01:04,375
Fifty percent reduction.

876
01:01:04,583 --> 01:01:06,208
I think that is
considerable progress.

877
01:01:06,708 --> 01:01:10,833
Imagine tomorrow, Mr. General Secretary, we
will shake hands for the cameras and say deal.

878
01:01:11,208 --> 01:01:12,750
I would like this very much,

879
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:15,375
but we must still
discuss your shield.

880
01:01:17,458 --> 01:01:19,083
The Strategic
Defense Initiative.

881
01:01:24,791 --> 01:01:26,833
Perhaps it is too
much for this evening.

882
01:01:28,958 --> 01:01:29,958
Mr. President,

883
01:01:30,375 --> 01:01:34,166
you have been saying that you wish
to discuss with your allies the...

884
01:01:34,708 --> 01:01:36,750
potential INF
implications in Asia.

885
01:01:37,666 --> 01:01:39,208
Shall we adjourn
so that you may?

886
01:01:40,833 --> 01:01:41,833
Yes.

887
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:43,208
We will have an answer quickly.

888
01:01:43,791 --> 01:01:45,291
As we are able to assure you...

889
01:01:45,291 --> 01:01:49,916
that our eastern allies will
understand our withdrawals in Europe.

890
01:01:50,041 --> 01:01:50,791
I must warn you,

891
01:01:50,916 --> 01:01:53,166
our NATO allies are
less subservient.

892
01:01:53,500 --> 01:01:54,000
Didn't Mrs.

893
01:01:54,208 --> 01:01:56,916
Thatcher thank you personally
for modernizing her arsenal?

894
01:01:57,166 --> 01:02:01,333
And that you coordinate your attacks
in the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact

895
01:02:02,041 --> 01:02:03,125
so as to avoid duplication.

896
01:02:03,833 --> 01:02:05,833
You seem to know an awful lot.

897
01:02:06,291 --> 01:02:07,916
That is how this game is played,

898
01:02:08,041 --> 01:02:13,041
is it not? But surely all of your intelligence
isn't wasted analyzing bread lines.

899
01:02:13,875 --> 01:02:14,875
No, it's not.

900
01:02:15,041 --> 01:02:17,500
We also monitor Russian
treaty violations.

901
01:02:19,041 --> 01:02:21,041
More waste, huh?

902
01:02:21,541 --> 01:02:22,541
There have been none.

903
01:02:23,333 --> 01:02:24,333
Trust but verify.

904
01:02:25,916 --> 01:02:28,416
As I have agreed, we will do.

905
01:02:29,833 --> 01:02:33,416
But you can imagine
the objections of my KGB.

906
01:02:34,541 --> 01:02:37,541
I doubt I'll have an easy
time of it with our Congress.

907
01:02:37,666 --> 01:02:39,000
You have your senators,

908
01:02:40,083 --> 01:02:41,125
I have my generals.

909
01:02:43,541 --> 01:02:45,916
We must convince them that
we are strongest together.

910
01:02:47,208 --> 01:02:48,916
Yes, I suppose so.

911
01:02:50,125 --> 01:02:52,208
Too bad we can't just
get rid of all of them.

912
01:02:53,916 --> 01:02:54,916
Your senators?

913
01:02:56,333 --> 01:02:57,708
No, the nukes.

914
01:03:02,791 --> 01:03:06,708
We're going to cut them
by 50% in the next 10 years.

915
01:03:06,875 --> 01:03:11,000
But that still leaves thousands, tens
of thousands, threatening the world.

916
01:03:12,916 --> 01:03:14,166
Who's to say who comes after us?

917
01:03:14,291 --> 01:03:17,208
Perhaps the next General
Secretary will want to renegotiate,

918
01:03:17,750 --> 01:03:19,375
wish to build more, not less.

919
01:03:19,958 --> 01:03:20,958
Or the next president.

920
01:03:22,333 --> 01:03:24,458
Traditionally, throughout
the history of our republic,

921
01:03:24,708 --> 01:03:27,666
new presidents have upheld the
treaties of their predecessors.

922
01:03:28,291 --> 01:03:29,750
But there is no law, they must.

923
01:03:30,125 --> 01:03:31,125
No.

924
01:03:33,958 --> 01:03:36,833
I am not sure then I
understand what you're saying.

925
01:03:40,333 --> 01:03:43,250
I'm saying good leaders
make things better now.

926
01:03:43,958 --> 01:03:46,541
Great leaders make things
better for the future.

927
01:03:47,583 --> 01:03:52,083
I'm saying, why can't we
just get rid of all of them?

928
01:03:53,333 --> 01:03:54,750
Every last one of them.

929
01:03:56,708 --> 01:03:58,041
Gosh damn contemptible things,

930
01:03:58,333 --> 01:03:59,833
once and for all. I'm saying,

931
01:04:00,291 --> 01:04:03,375
why don't we make a deal that
the whole world can rejoice?

932
01:04:03,666 --> 01:04:08,083
A deal too good for those who come after
us to reject or replace or renegotiate.

933
01:04:08,375 --> 01:04:10,791
I'm saying, why don't we
just get rid of all of them?

934
01:04:12,208 --> 01:04:15,750
I'm saying, are we going to be
merely good Secretary General?

935
01:04:17,291 --> 01:04:18,958
Or are we going to be great?

936
01:04:27,083 --> 01:04:31,291
We would be willing to
discuss such an agreement.

937
01:04:32,333 --> 01:04:37,250
All nuclear weapons
reduced to zero in ten years.

938
01:04:37,708 --> 01:04:42,666
All. Comrade, let's not be too hasty with the
atmosphere of what we have achieved here today.

939
01:04:43,500 --> 01:04:45,083
Perhaps we should
break for the evening.

940
01:04:45,708 --> 01:04:47,916
Nuclear. Zero.

941
01:04:48,833 --> 01:04:50,708
Every single nuclear
weapon on earth,

942
01:04:51,041 --> 01:04:53,333
gone. Taken out of the silo,

943
01:04:53,458 --> 01:04:56,083
off the sub, out of
the bomber, dismantled,

944
01:04:56,416 --> 01:04:58,041
junked, warhead spun down.

945
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:00,708
In just ten years.

946
01:05:02,250 --> 01:05:03,250
Peace on earth.

947
01:05:04,958 --> 01:05:06,375
Goodwill to all men.

948
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:08,375
Your Christmas come early.

949
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:11,000
Amen.

950
01:05:11,833 --> 01:05:13,833
Well, then let's do it.

951
01:05:14,666 --> 01:05:16,416
Yes, let's do it.

952
01:05:16,500 --> 01:05:18,000
It is impossible, gentlemen.

953
01:05:18,416 --> 01:05:20,208
How would we even
begin to start...

954
01:05:20,375 --> 01:05:22,416
Well, ask the experts
to make the arrangements,

955
01:05:22,625 --> 01:05:23,625
handle the fine print.

956
01:05:23,750 --> 01:05:24,750
You brought your experts,

957
01:05:24,791 --> 01:05:26,500
they're upstairs across
the hall from mine.

958
01:05:27,083 --> 01:05:28,916
They have a long
night ahead of them.

959
01:05:29,541 --> 01:05:31,291
Yes, I'd say they do.

960
01:05:32,666 --> 01:05:35,041
We will meet tomorrow
morning to discuss the terms.

961
01:05:35,875 --> 01:05:36,875
And SDI.

962
01:05:37,541 --> 01:05:38,541
And human rights.

963
01:05:40,458 --> 01:05:42,333
Good night,
Mr. General Secretary.

964
01:05:42,541 --> 01:05:43,750
Sleep well, Mr. President.

965
01:05:50,708 --> 01:05:51,708
Good night.

966
01:05:51,791 --> 01:05:54,583
I'm sure we're gonna
need you much longer, Tim.

967
01:05:55,333 --> 01:05:56,333
Sorry, sir?

968
01:05:56,916 --> 01:05:58,416
Nothing. Thank you, Colonel.

969
01:05:58,666 --> 01:05:59,666
I'll be out in a minute.

970
01:05:59,958 --> 01:06:00,958
Yes, sir.

971
01:06:03,041 --> 01:06:05,416
They make me do
rehearsals every few months.

972
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:07,083
You wanna know how it works?

973
01:06:07,833 --> 01:06:09,583
How to end the world?

974
01:06:09,708 --> 01:06:10,708
No, thank you, sir.

975
01:06:10,916 --> 01:06:12,708
Well, you're in the
line of succession,

976
01:06:12,916 --> 01:06:14,166
George, and I'm not bulletproof.

977
01:06:18,625 --> 01:06:20,916
Try not to get shot again
before we get you tomorrow, sir.

978
01:06:21,166 --> 01:06:22,166
Yeah.

979
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:25,541
I'll assemble our team
and get them caffeine,

980
01:06:26,041 --> 01:06:28,208
lots of it, and get them
in a room with the Soviets.

981
01:06:28,708 --> 01:06:29,708
Well, get them to zero.

982
01:06:30,291 --> 01:06:33,958
Every nuclear weapon gone from the
face of the earth in just a few hours.

983
01:06:34,125 --> 01:06:35,583
Congress is gonna
lose their minds.

984
01:06:36,166 --> 01:06:37,166
Joint chiefs do.

985
01:06:37,583 --> 01:06:39,291
And the CIA and the DIA,

986
01:06:39,500 --> 01:06:40,666
and I need to tell our allies.

987
01:06:41,208 --> 01:06:42,208
Yes, do that tonight.

988
01:06:42,708 --> 01:06:44,458
Get Thatcher and
Medrano Cole to sign off.

989
01:06:45,791 --> 01:06:46,791
And if they don't?

990
01:06:48,458 --> 01:06:49,208
I don't know, George.

991
01:06:49,291 --> 01:06:50,000
We'll think of something.

992
01:06:50,166 --> 01:06:52,416
But just, you know, get
the team into it, okay?

993
01:06:52,541 --> 01:06:53,541
This is a better world.

994
01:06:54,291 --> 01:06:56,083
We can leave America
safer than we found her.

995
01:07:07,791 --> 01:07:10,041
Peace on earth,
goodwill to all men.

996
01:07:10,208 --> 01:07:12,166
Gorbachev actually said that.

997
01:07:12,166 --> 01:07:14,125
The head of the
worldwide communist ply.

998
01:07:14,291 --> 01:07:15,291
They're obsessed 50 years.

999
01:07:15,333 --> 01:07:16,583
They've stayed with geopolitics.

1000
01:07:17,208 --> 01:07:19,375
A mutually assured
destruction works for a reason.

1001
01:07:19,708 --> 01:07:21,750
How the hell are we
gonna defend western Europe

1002
01:07:21,791 --> 01:07:24,875
when they have overwhelmingly
superior conventional forces?

1003
01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:26,125
That will just roll downhill.

1004
01:07:26,916 --> 01:07:30,125
Thousands of T-72 tanks right
through Frankfurt and Paris,

1005
01:07:30,333 --> 01:07:31,583
straight to the English Channel.

1006
01:07:31,875 --> 01:07:35,291
Does any man here doubt that the world
would be safer without nuclear weapons?

1007
01:07:36,416 --> 01:07:38,041
Hard to put the genie
back in the bottle.

1008
01:07:38,833 --> 01:07:41,375
And I've been doing this longer
than the rest of you put together.

1009
01:07:41,416 --> 01:07:44,791
When we got here, you all thought
this was a colossal waste of a weekend.

1010
01:07:45,375 --> 01:07:47,083
Wow. Without no denying it.

1011
01:07:49,125 --> 01:07:53,041
And yet, the general secretary
of the Communist Party...

1012
01:07:53,208 --> 01:07:55,250
...of the Union of Soviet
Socialist Republics...

1013
01:07:55,500 --> 01:07:58,416
has just offered us the best
deal since Russia sold us Alaska.

1014
01:08:00,208 --> 01:08:01,500
Hell, maybe of all time.

1015
01:08:03,583 --> 01:08:04,625
Are we going to pass it by?

1016
01:08:06,750 --> 01:08:09,166
You've all trained for
high-stakes negotiations.

1017
01:08:09,375 --> 01:08:10,375
This is it.

1018
01:08:10,916 --> 01:08:11,958
This is our Super Bowl.

1019
01:08:13,500 --> 01:08:15,875
Are you in, or are you out?

1020
01:08:20,500 --> 01:08:22,125
I serve at the pleasure
of the president.

1021
01:08:22,625 --> 01:08:25,958
I serve at the pleasure
of the president.

1022
01:08:34,458 --> 01:08:36,833
So, who's gonna
lead this moonshot?

1023
01:08:37,083 --> 01:08:38,083
Paul.

1024
01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:48,583
Have you got the
scrambler set up?

1025
01:08:51,750 --> 01:08:52,750
You're kidding.

1026
01:08:52,875 --> 01:08:54,625
It looks like something
out of Get Smart.

1027
01:08:55,833 --> 01:08:57,791
Sorry about that, Mr. Secretary.

1028
01:09:03,041 --> 01:09:04,541
What's the button
for Foggy Bottom?

1029
01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:06,000
Four.

1030
01:09:11,625 --> 01:09:12,708
This is the secretary.

1031
01:09:12,916 --> 01:09:14,750
Get me a line to
Ambassador Price in London.

1032
01:09:15,333 --> 01:09:16,541
Yes, this is the secretary.

1033
01:09:16,750 --> 01:09:18,958
Get me a line to
Ambassador Rogers in Paris.

1034
01:09:20,583 --> 01:09:21,916
Richard, George Shultz.

1035
01:09:23,541 --> 01:09:25,375
Yes, it's late. Sorry.

1036
01:09:26,166 --> 01:09:28,458
Listen, you're gonna have
to get Helmut up as well.

1037
01:09:29,000 --> 01:09:30,000
Call me back when you have him.

1038
01:09:30,041 --> 01:09:31,875
The president has an
update for the president.

1039
01:09:32,958 --> 01:09:34,916
His ears and yours only.

1040
01:09:35,041 --> 01:09:36,833
Wake him up.

1041
01:09:55,416 --> 01:09:56,416
Holy shit.

1042
01:09:57,916 --> 01:09:59,541
Marshal Sergei Akramaev.

1043
01:10:00,500 --> 01:10:02,416
Four-time winner of
the Order of Lenin.

1044
01:10:02,708 --> 01:10:04,416
Veteran of the
Siege of Leningrad.

1045
01:10:04,625 --> 01:10:05,958
Hero of the Soviet Union.

1046
01:10:07,666 --> 01:10:10,208
Chief of the General Staff
of the Soviet Armed Forces.

1047
01:10:12,291 --> 01:10:14,750
They brought their chairman of
the Joint Chiefs to negotiate.

1048
01:10:16,750 --> 01:10:18,375
That's not intimidating at all.

1049
01:10:20,541 --> 01:10:22,750
Well, I'm glad we
voted on you, Paul.

1050
01:10:38,500 --> 01:10:40,416
I forgot to call.

1051
01:10:40,791 --> 01:10:41,791
You all right?

1052
01:10:44,500 --> 01:10:44,750
Ronnie?

1053
01:10:45,500 --> 01:10:47,541
I'm just... I'm just tired.

1054
01:10:48,125 --> 01:10:49,125
How's the hand?

1055
01:10:52,500 --> 01:10:53,500
Fine.

1056
01:10:54,000 --> 01:10:55,750
Did I have a TV there, at least?

1057
01:10:56,458 --> 01:10:57,958
You need to take
your mind off things.

1058
01:10:59,166 --> 01:11:01,583
Well, I'm sure there's one
around here somewhere, but I

1059
01:11:02,333 --> 01:11:05,583
just don't think Icelandic
broadcasters have family ties.

1060
01:11:08,833 --> 01:11:12,000
They say that Icelanders don't
have TV at all on Thursdays.

1061
01:11:12,750 --> 01:11:16,250
Something about having time
for family and cultural awareness.

1062
01:11:16,791 --> 01:11:18,625
Can you imagine a
whole country with no TV?

1063
01:11:19,458 --> 01:11:21,791
Well, thank goodness
it's Saturday.

1064
01:11:23,916 --> 01:11:26,500
I know how lonely the job feels,

1065
01:11:27,416 --> 01:11:29,416
being responsible
for millions of people.

1066
01:11:31,666 --> 01:11:33,583
I'm so sorry I'm
not there with you.

1067
01:11:33,625 --> 01:11:34,625
It was a mistake.

1068
01:11:36,541 --> 01:11:37,541
Yeah, it's okay.

1069
01:11:38,208 --> 01:11:39,416
I'm just fine.

1070
01:11:40,916 --> 01:11:42,416
I love you. Good night.

1071
01:11:43,541 --> 01:11:44,541
I love you.

1072
01:11:57,875 --> 01:11:59,208
I should have stayed on a boat.

1073
01:12:20,208 --> 01:12:21,916
You coming home after me?

1074
01:12:22,541 --> 01:12:24,666
We seize the
opportunities we have.

1075
01:12:26,666 --> 01:12:28,583
How many times did
you change today?

1076
01:12:30,250 --> 01:12:32,000
Eight. Already.

1077
01:12:32,375 --> 01:12:34,541
The models of Milan
have nothing on you.

1078
01:12:36,208 --> 01:12:37,666
Going back out? Dinner.

1079
01:12:38,708 --> 01:12:40,125
With the Prime
Minister of Iceland.

1080
01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:46,125
How is it with your American?

1081
01:12:48,500 --> 01:12:51,666
You must trust and
believe in people.

1082
01:12:55,041 --> 01:12:55,541
Otherwise...

1083
01:12:55,875 --> 01:12:57,291
Life becomes impossible.

1084
01:12:59,083 --> 01:13:00,458
You got the KGB report on me.

1085
01:13:00,916 --> 01:13:01,916
The hot springs.

1086
01:13:04,500 --> 01:13:05,750
What has happened?

1087
01:13:08,833 --> 01:13:10,291
I cannot say.

1088
01:13:11,958 --> 01:13:15,083
Are you being
proud or desperate?

1089
01:13:15,500 --> 01:13:16,833
I think he will say we have

1090
01:13:17,375 --> 01:13:18,583
something to be proud of.

1091
01:13:20,208 --> 01:13:22,750
Good.

1092
01:13:24,583 --> 01:13:26,625
Then he will be able to
make the changes we need.

1093
01:13:27,666 --> 01:13:29,041
And our people will prosper.

1094
01:13:32,416 --> 01:13:33,416
You have no doubts?

1095
01:13:35,541 --> 01:13:36,583
Not about our nation.

1096
01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:39,000
Not about you.

1097
01:13:43,083 --> 01:13:44,083
Do you?

1098
01:13:56,541 --> 01:13:57,541
What?

1099
01:14:05,041 --> 01:14:08,291
You think the KGB is now bugging
the Soviet Premier's toilet?

1100
01:14:09,666 --> 01:14:13,625
I think the Minister of
State Security chose this boat

1101
01:14:14,041 --> 01:14:16,041
and not the embassy
for our lodging

1102
01:14:16,541 --> 01:14:20,375
so that we could not take
long walks away from microvolts.

1103
01:14:25,458 --> 01:14:26,916
What preys upon
your mind, my love?

1104
01:14:32,208 --> 01:14:33,458
He seems genuine.

1105
01:14:34,125 --> 01:14:35,250
But you're not sure.

1106
01:14:36,250 --> 01:14:38,916
I offer him nuclear zero.

1107
01:14:40,458 --> 01:14:41,750
But I cannot tell.

1108
01:14:42,250 --> 01:14:44,083
I don't think he
will give up STI.

1109
01:14:46,291 --> 01:14:52,625
I brought it up for the first time at the close
of day and the look on his face was clear.

1110
01:14:53,583 --> 01:14:54,708
STI is a mirage.

1111
01:14:56,041 --> 01:14:58,041
Even his own people
don't think it will work.

1112
01:14:58,833 --> 01:15:00,166
Don't let it distract you.

1113
01:15:02,208 --> 01:15:05,291
Nuclear weapons gave
them powered submarines

1114
01:15:05,625 --> 01:15:07,583
so quiet we cannot detect them.

1115
01:15:08,416 --> 01:15:12,541
The space race gave them computers
now so small they fit on a desk.

1116
01:15:13,583 --> 01:15:15,750
If we cannot contain this STI,

1117
01:15:16,916 --> 01:15:21,083
who knows what terrible
inventions they will come up with.

1118
01:15:22,666 --> 01:15:26,958
And if we have to take
the arms race into space,

1119
01:15:28,208 --> 01:15:30,333
our people will starve.

1120
01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:36,000
Famine.

1121
01:15:37,750 --> 01:15:38,791
Like Stalin's time.

1122
01:15:44,125 --> 01:15:48,833
But your reforms, perestroika,
glasnost are working.

1123
01:15:49,708 --> 01:15:50,750
We just need time.

1124
01:15:51,875 --> 01:15:55,250
The one thing we cannot
beg, borrow or steal.

1125
01:16:00,208 --> 01:16:02,375
Don't let them harm the Rodina.

1126
01:16:05,166 --> 01:16:06,250
But even more, my love,

1127
01:16:07,041 --> 01:16:09,416
don't let us harm the Rodina,

1128
01:16:10,500 --> 01:16:12,375
even with the
best of intentions.

1129
01:16:32,458 --> 01:16:35,875
Our submarines have the ability
to protect our homeland the longest.

1130
01:16:36,125 --> 01:16:38,958
Which is precisely why we want
them gone in the first round.

1131
01:16:40,166 --> 01:16:41,166
Can you not understand?

1132
01:16:42,041 --> 01:16:43,250
We must become bolder together.

1133
01:16:43,500 --> 01:16:44,500
We think the opposite,

1134
01:16:44,708 --> 01:16:47,875
a slow drawdown, several years of
confidence-building productions...

1135
01:16:47,916 --> 01:16:49,916
in other areas culminating in...

1136
01:16:49,958 --> 01:16:54,166
Let it be noted it's the Americans who wish to
proceed cautiously for the first time in history.

1137
01:16:58,166 --> 01:16:59,916
Why don't we proceed
with a different topic?

1138
01:17:00,083 --> 01:17:01,083
We proceed to nowhere.

1139
01:17:07,500 --> 01:17:09,625
Well, it is supposed
to be haunted.

1140
01:17:10,958 --> 01:17:12,166
It is the wind from the sea.

1141
01:17:13,250 --> 01:17:14,416
I will go out to enjoy it.

1142
01:17:36,291 --> 01:17:38,291
The Reagan shot at close range,

1143
01:17:38,416 --> 01:17:39,833
attempted by a lone assailant.

1144
01:17:39,958 --> 01:17:41,583
Hey, Captain, look
what we got for you.

1145
01:18:33,833 --> 01:18:34,958
How close are we?

1146
01:18:36,875 --> 01:18:39,291
There's a reason they trained
the astronauts here, sir.

1147
01:18:39,541 --> 01:18:40,666
Might as well be the moon.

1148
01:18:40,833 --> 01:18:43,166
How do you tell one mound
of lava rock from another?

1149
01:18:43,458 --> 01:18:44,458
I meant our team.

1150
01:18:45,333 --> 01:18:47,333
Oh, yes, sorry.

1151
01:18:47,583 --> 01:18:48,875
Um, they're closing in.

1152
01:18:50,708 --> 01:18:51,708
I want it done.

1153
01:18:52,250 --> 01:18:53,250
Yes, sir.

1154
01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:56,583
I want it done. Thatcher was telling
me your theory one time at Checkers.

1155
01:18:56,625 --> 01:18:58,125
You heard there's
two lads and a pint?

1156
01:18:58,833 --> 01:19:00,166
That like two guys and a beer?

1157
01:19:01,208 --> 01:19:02,791
She has this theory that
everything in the world

1158
01:19:02,833 --> 01:19:05,791
is actually decided
by two lads and a pint.

1159
01:19:06,625 --> 01:19:07,416
Or in her case,

1160
01:19:07,500 --> 01:19:09,000
two ladies and a whiskey.

1161
01:19:09,375 --> 01:19:10,541
It's not a bad theory.

1162
01:19:11,791 --> 01:19:12,916
Can we trust an enemy?

1163
01:19:13,125 --> 01:19:14,125
Can we trust Gorbachev?

1164
01:19:15,291 --> 01:19:17,708
If so, then in theory
we can trust his word

1165
01:19:17,750 --> 01:19:20,083
to stick to this plan
until we can ink a treaty.

1166
01:19:20,875 --> 01:19:23,041
And we can verify it? Yes.

1167
01:19:26,083 --> 01:19:29,083
I want you to get me some
information on the refuseniks.

1168
01:19:30,041 --> 01:19:31,041
Sir?

1169
01:19:32,083 --> 01:19:33,291
The refuseniks.

1170
01:19:33,541 --> 01:19:35,625
I mean, why do you
want that information?

1171
01:19:37,250 --> 01:19:38,750
Get me the information.

1172
01:19:41,500 --> 01:19:42,500
Yes, sir.

1173
01:20:00,291 --> 01:20:01,666
Good morning, Mr. President.

1174
01:20:02,083 --> 01:20:03,875
Good morning,
Mr. General Secretary.

1175
01:20:04,500 --> 01:20:07,625
I understand from my team
that we have made some progress,

1176
01:20:07,958 --> 01:20:09,958
but not all the progress.

1177
01:20:10,750 --> 01:20:12,666
I have instructed
them to continue.

1178
01:20:14,041 --> 01:20:16,250
As have I, for our side. Good.

1179
01:20:17,333 --> 01:20:19,750
Then for the moment,
shall we pick other topics?

1180
01:20:20,750 --> 01:20:22,958
Human rights. Yes.

1181
01:20:25,500 --> 01:20:29,375
I have spoken with my ministers
about your maestro in Washington.

1182
01:20:31,041 --> 01:20:33,708
They believe he would be
a bad person to appease.

1183
01:20:34,791 --> 01:20:40,791
He is very prominent, and his case
would undoubtedly cause unwanted attention.

1184
01:20:42,291 --> 01:20:43,291
Public opinion.

1185
01:20:44,416 --> 01:20:48,000
So perhaps now we can discuss
the ABM Treaty and your SDI.

1186
01:20:51,375 --> 01:20:54,916
Well, first let me just say that
we are particularly sensitive...

1187
01:20:55,291 --> 01:20:57,750
to the travel rights
of the Soviet peoples,

1188
01:20:58,166 --> 01:20:59,250
not just Mr. Rostropovich,

1189
01:20:59,750 --> 01:21:03,375
and we are concerned especially with
those who wish to practice their religion,

1190
01:21:03,666 --> 01:21:04,916
enshrined in our Bill of Rights.

1191
01:21:05,666 --> 01:21:09,375
There are small numbers of Jewish
peoples wishing to emigrate to Israel.

1192
01:21:09,625 --> 01:21:11,083
The refuseniks, you call them.

1193
01:21:11,458 --> 01:21:13,541
Yes, and there are some
Christians, Pentecostals,

1194
01:21:13,916 --> 01:21:15,208
who wish to leave as well,

1195
01:21:15,375 --> 01:21:16,375
to come to America.

1196
01:21:16,458 --> 01:21:20,458
Did you know Jesus
was the first socialist?

1197
01:21:23,791 --> 01:21:24,791
It's true.

1198
01:21:25,250 --> 01:21:28,375
The first to seek a
better life for all mankind.

1199
01:21:29,833 --> 01:21:33,625
So why would these Christians want
to leave my country and go to yours?

1200
01:21:34,541 --> 01:21:35,541
You have homeless.

1201
01:21:38,125 --> 01:21:39,125
What do you mean?

1202
01:21:39,250 --> 01:21:42,416
Your citizens who are homeless
have no rights to housing.

1203
01:21:43,291 --> 01:21:45,458
We have no homeless
in the Soviet Union.

1204
01:21:46,041 --> 01:21:48,041
Your murder rates are enormous,

1205
01:21:48,791 --> 01:21:54,125
and the less said about your country's
long-standing history of racism, the better.

1206
01:21:55,291 --> 01:21:58,125
Well, unlike you, we
acknowledge we have many faults.

1207
01:21:58,791 --> 01:22:03,291
And yet I'm the one that must be lectured on
human rights and people without passports.

1208
01:22:04,000 --> 01:22:05,083
Well, then I would ask you,

1209
01:22:05,208 --> 01:22:06,958
if they may not have
the freedom to travel,

1210
01:22:07,958 --> 01:22:10,500
why not give them the freedom
to form their own political party,

1211
01:22:10,833 --> 01:22:12,333
organize their future
in your country?

1212
01:22:12,833 --> 01:22:15,041
The Soviet people organized
this Communist Party.

1213
01:22:16,083 --> 01:22:16,875
Seventy years ago.

1214
01:22:17,083 --> 01:22:18,958
You think they might
like to try something else?

1215
01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:20,791
Your own party's been
around much longer.

1216
01:22:21,083 --> 01:22:23,458
Yes, but Republicans can
be voted out of office.

1217
01:22:23,666 --> 01:22:27,291
Your backstabbing political gridlock
is something you wish us to endure.

1218
01:22:27,583 --> 01:22:28,166
No thank you.

1219
01:22:28,458 --> 01:22:30,125
Democracy is the worst
form of government,

1220
01:22:30,750 --> 01:22:31,750
except for all the others.

1221
01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:35,041
Churchill had a rather convenient
horse in that race, don't you think?

1222
01:22:35,500 --> 01:22:37,166
And Lenin, like Marx before him,

1223
01:22:37,291 --> 01:22:40,250
suggested that socialism may
need to be global to succeed.

1224
01:22:40,291 --> 01:22:46,875
And so we see you actively trying to manipulate the
elections and futures of nations around the globe.

1225
01:22:47,333 --> 01:22:48,333
And you do not.

1226
01:22:49,291 --> 01:22:51,541
In Chile, in Iran, in Angola.

1227
01:22:51,583 --> 01:22:56,458
And I suppose you were just helping the people of Cuba
and Poland and Vietnam to choose their oppressive regimes.

1228
01:22:56,583 --> 01:22:58,291
And Germany, when
you tore it in two.

1229
01:22:58,416 --> 01:23:02,000
You fly your U-2 spy planes
over our heads with impunity,

1230
01:23:02,750 --> 01:23:06,125
sail your seven fleet around the
Pacific as if it were your swimming pool,

1231
01:23:06,583 --> 01:23:09,541
and park your submarines
within sight of our shores,

1232
01:23:09,583 --> 01:23:12,000
and yet you expect
my people to trust you.

1233
01:23:12,250 --> 01:23:14,958
And seizing our journalist in
Moscow only a few months ago,

1234
01:23:15,041 --> 01:23:16,208
does that encourage trust?

1235
01:23:16,958 --> 01:23:18,000
I returned him!

1236
01:23:19,291 --> 01:23:23,291
Despite evidence from my
security services, he was a spy.

1237
01:23:24,375 --> 01:23:28,833
The United States will remain vigilant and strong
to the threats posed by international communism,

1238
01:23:29,125 --> 01:23:30,125
by the Soviet Union.

1239
01:23:30,916 --> 01:23:33,625
As we will maintain
our strength as well,

1240
01:23:34,291 --> 01:23:39,416
in defense of socialism desired
by billions all around the globe.

1241
01:23:40,333 --> 01:23:42,958
To defend those who
seek our way of life.

1242
01:23:43,833 --> 01:23:44,833
In all your speeches,

1243
01:23:45,041 --> 01:23:47,541
you deride us as
the evil empire,

1244
01:23:47,958 --> 01:23:50,208
to be met by force
in every sphere.

1245
01:23:50,583 --> 01:23:55,708
I wonder, Mr. President, who it is here
that is trying to expand his ideas by force.

1246
01:23:56,541 --> 01:24:00,875
You would do well to remember that no
such method has ever succeeded on Russia.

1247
01:24:01,666 --> 01:24:03,041
Not by Napoleon.

1248
01:24:03,708 --> 01:24:04,833
Not by Hitler.

1249
01:24:05,625 --> 01:24:06,625
No one.

1250
01:24:08,916 --> 01:24:10,750
We are a strong people.

1251
01:24:12,208 --> 01:24:16,708
And we have learned that
strength is how you win a war.

1252
01:24:23,000 --> 01:24:24,958
We're not trying to win a war.

1253
01:24:28,000 --> 01:24:29,208
We're trying to end one.

1254
01:24:40,458 --> 01:24:41,458
Perhaps a break.

1255
01:25:19,583 --> 01:25:22,000
May I speak candidly,
Mr. President?

1256
01:25:22,458 --> 01:25:23,875
George, we're both exhausted.

1257
01:25:24,750 --> 01:25:25,750
Just speak.

1258
01:25:27,666 --> 01:25:28,666
Let it go.

1259
01:25:30,208 --> 01:25:34,583
Don't blow this deal over refuseniks
and Pentecostals and a cellist.

1260
01:25:35,375 --> 01:25:36,375
I love classical music.

1261
01:25:38,333 --> 01:25:41,541
And I dearly love the freedom
that comes with being an American.

1262
01:25:44,500 --> 01:25:47,958
But, he said
Rostropovich left when,

1263
01:25:48,083 --> 01:25:49,375
we all know, he defected.

1264
01:25:50,916 --> 01:25:54,708
And if his sister is allowed to
defect at a birthday party in Washington,

1265
01:25:55,000 --> 01:25:58,666
D.C., it would be a
public relations disaster.

1266
01:25:59,041 --> 01:26:00,041
Gorbachev

1267
01:26:00,125 --> 01:26:01,208
cannot take that risk.

1268
01:26:02,791 --> 01:26:06,708
Sir, I'm truly afraid that
we could lose this deal.

1269
01:26:08,875 --> 01:26:12,500
Well, George, what about the millions
of people who'd still be oppressed?

1270
01:26:17,666 --> 01:26:19,958
Tell me good news, Democrats.

1271
01:26:20,000 --> 01:26:21,416
Sir, I...

1272
01:26:21,416 --> 01:26:26,416
Yes, Ken, we all agree that this is a
bipartisan effort to avoid World War III.

1273
01:26:26,583 --> 01:26:27,583
Just tell us.

1274
01:26:27,875 --> 01:26:33,791
The most stealthy, stable, and therefore serious
part of the triad is the submarines, sir.

1275
01:26:34,041 --> 01:26:36,500
They are impossible to track
and therefore cannot be targeted.

1276
01:26:37,500 --> 01:26:39,541
They are the absolute
last line of defense.

1277
01:26:40,208 --> 01:26:41,541
You can't get rid of the subs.

1278
01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:42,458
We're close.

1279
01:26:42,833 --> 01:26:44,416
Almost there, but...

1280
01:26:44,666 --> 01:26:45,666
You're out of time.

1281
01:26:50,208 --> 01:26:51,208
Well, all right.

1282
01:26:53,666 --> 01:26:54,666
Give me what you got.

1283
01:26:56,333 --> 01:26:58,625
I'm giving up the game
on the 10-yard line.

1284
01:27:03,916 --> 01:27:04,916
We have already agreed

1285
01:27:05,708 --> 01:27:07,958
to unilaterally suspend
the nuclear testing,

1286
01:27:08,958 --> 01:27:11,791
draw down our conventional
forces in Western Europe,

1287
01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:14,791
offered a 50%
reduction in all arms,

1288
01:27:15,791 --> 01:27:17,750
and agreed to a
nuclear zero future.

1289
01:27:17,750 --> 01:27:21,583
And still he tries to distract
you with his dissident conductor,

1290
01:27:22,958 --> 01:27:26,125
constantly evading
STI, constantly.

1291
01:27:27,416 --> 01:27:31,125
You must at least consider
that he's making you the obstacle

1292
01:27:32,625 --> 01:27:33,875
and is not a partner in peace.

1293
01:28:01,958 --> 01:28:03,416
We should thank our teams.

1294
01:28:03,500 --> 01:28:05,583
They have not reached
a final agreement,

1295
01:28:05,750 --> 01:28:06,750
but they have come close.

1296
01:28:07,375 --> 01:28:08,458
We are indeed very close.

1297
01:28:08,583 --> 01:28:10,500
We've reached an agreement
in the first five years

1298
01:28:10,541 --> 01:28:14,541
to eliminate the SOA
category of land-based ICBMs.

1299
01:28:15,375 --> 01:28:20,125
And in the next five years to dismantling
the remaining IRBMs and cruise missiles?

1300
01:28:21,000 --> 01:28:24,041
Yes, which leaves only the
submarine-launched missiles.

1301
01:28:26,000 --> 01:28:29,666
We must first discuss STI.

1302
01:28:31,208 --> 01:28:33,750
In regards to the
Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty?

1303
01:28:34,875 --> 01:28:36,875
The ABM Treaty forbids STI.

1304
01:28:37,583 --> 01:28:39,041
Well, we disagree.

1305
01:28:39,375 --> 01:28:42,791
And anyway, you've already
violated the ABM across the Arsk

1306
01:28:42,916 --> 01:28:44,375
with your defences
around Moscow.

1307
01:28:44,666 --> 01:28:46,541
We have no such
defences in Washington.

1308
01:28:47,083 --> 01:28:49,791
Our defences are exactly
matching to the letter

1309
01:28:50,500 --> 01:28:51,583
of the ABM Treaty,

1310
01:28:52,125 --> 01:28:56,625
and it is not our fault that you chose not
to exercise your rights under the Treaty

1311
01:28:56,750 --> 01:28:59,750
to build such defences
around your capital.

1312
01:29:01,125 --> 01:29:07,041
But the ABM Treaty specifically
rejects the idea of space-based weapons.

1313
01:29:07,666 --> 01:29:09,750
STI is not solely space-based.

1314
01:29:12,041 --> 01:29:17,166
How are we to begin to eliminate
our strategic offensive arms

1315
01:29:17,208 --> 01:29:19,666
if you will have a
shield to defend yourself?

1316
01:29:20,708 --> 01:29:24,208
You could renege or launch a
first strike from a NATO ally,

1317
01:29:24,583 --> 01:29:25,666
and we would be defenceless.

1318
01:29:25,750 --> 01:29:27,583
You are obsessed with this STI.

1319
01:29:28,583 --> 01:29:31,916
What about the people? It will make
the people safer for both our nations.

1320
01:29:32,833 --> 01:29:34,750
What if some rogue
state launches a missile?

1321
01:29:36,125 --> 01:29:38,583
The shield will protect us,
protect the American people.

1322
01:29:38,583 --> 01:29:41,541
You are free to develop
your own for your people.

1323
01:29:42,958 --> 01:29:44,041
You won't let them leave.

1324
01:29:44,125 --> 01:29:45,333
At least you can protect them.

1325
01:29:46,208 --> 01:29:48,000
Of course I care
about the people.

1326
01:29:48,166 --> 01:29:50,208
The Soviet people
are my responsibility.

1327
01:29:51,375 --> 01:29:56,208
But you cannot possibly believe that
their fate is not tied to this shield,

1328
01:29:56,500 --> 01:29:58,916
which you have already
announced you intend to...

1329
01:29:58,916 --> 01:30:01,416
Mutually assured destruction
works from the point of view

1330
01:30:01,458 --> 01:30:03,291
that each side
must be vulnerable,

1331
01:30:04,000 --> 01:30:07,125
that the sword of Damocles
not only hangs above us

1332
01:30:07,125 --> 01:30:09,625
but must remain hanging over us.

1333
01:30:09,916 --> 01:30:12,125
Why can we simply
not take the sword now?

1334
01:30:13,000 --> 01:30:14,458
This is what STI will do.

1335
01:30:19,708 --> 01:30:23,166
Men rise from one
ambition to the next.

1336
01:30:23,958 --> 01:30:28,291
First they seek to secure
themselves from attack

1337
01:30:28,291 --> 01:30:30,291
and then to attack others.

1338
01:30:32,291 --> 01:30:33,291
Machiavelli.

1339
01:30:34,791 --> 01:30:37,666
Are you suggesting that
we are building a shield

1340
01:30:37,666 --> 01:30:41,708
in order that once we have it we can
then strike you first with impunity?

1341
01:30:42,000 --> 01:30:43,000
Well, why wouldn't you?

1342
01:30:43,625 --> 01:30:45,333
Strike the evil empire.

1343
01:30:48,208 --> 01:30:49,208
Look.

1344
01:30:51,291 --> 01:30:52,541
All you are asking

1345
01:30:53,500 --> 01:30:56,500
is that you do not
develop this STI

1346
01:30:56,541 --> 01:31:00,208
during the ten years that we
are eliminating these weapons

1347
01:31:00,250 --> 01:31:02,041
so as not to gain an advantage.

1348
01:31:02,416 --> 01:31:04,583
This is not an offensive weapon.

1349
01:31:04,833 --> 01:31:05,666
It is a shield.

1350
01:31:05,833 --> 01:31:06,916
It is a threat.

1351
01:31:10,916 --> 01:31:11,916
Mr. General Secretary,

1352
01:31:12,500 --> 01:31:16,958
are you coupling the arms
reduction to the end of STI?

1353
01:31:31,125 --> 01:31:32,125
I am.

1354
01:31:33,416 --> 01:31:37,000
It is the position of the Soviet
Union that they are the same thing.

1355
01:31:49,500 --> 01:31:51,916
After the use of mustard
gas in World War I,

1356
01:31:52,041 --> 01:31:53,250
we develop a gas mask.

1357
01:31:53,333 --> 01:31:54,708
Why would you not
want a gas mask?

1358
01:31:54,750 --> 01:31:57,291
A shield against
nuclear missiles.

1359
01:31:58,000 --> 01:32:01,333
We owe it to the world
to develop this technology.

1360
01:32:01,875 --> 01:32:04,375
The world has gotten
along just fine without it.

1361
01:32:05,500 --> 01:32:06,500
This is absurd.

1362
01:32:07,458 --> 01:32:10,291
And how will you ensure that
your allies do not strike us?

1363
01:32:11,208 --> 01:32:15,000
I will do everything in my power to get them
to give up their nuclear weapons as well.

1364
01:32:15,083 --> 01:32:17,833
But do you really believe that
their people will let them keep them?

1365
01:32:18,500 --> 01:32:21,208
With costs of maintenance
and dangers of mistakes

1366
01:32:21,208 --> 01:32:22,875
when there is no longer a threat

1367
01:32:24,000 --> 01:32:24,916
from the Soviet Union?

1368
01:32:24,916 --> 01:32:30,208
I believe it is very difficult for people
to give up their weapons of any kind,

1369
01:32:30,541 --> 01:32:31,625
including shields.

1370
01:32:41,041 --> 01:32:44,666
Gentlemen, I suggest we
take a short break, perhaps.

1371
01:32:45,166 --> 01:32:49,708
I would like to know if the President is
serious about continuing this discussion on STI.

1372
01:32:50,708 --> 01:32:53,333
If he is serious
about compromise.

1373
01:33:16,750 --> 01:33:17,750
Thank you.

1374
01:33:36,458 --> 01:33:38,000
The Icelandic Horse
Isn't it beautiful?

1375
01:33:39,916 --> 01:33:45,000
The Icelandic horse is the only horse in the
world that has a fifth gate called the tot.

1376
01:33:46,833 --> 01:33:48,625
Amazing. How is it?

1377
01:33:48,791 --> 01:33:49,791
I'm still hung over.

1378
01:33:50,041 --> 01:33:51,416
I told you to quit
on the schnapps.

1379
01:33:51,500 --> 01:33:52,958
You did not. Just watch.

1380
01:33:53,250 --> 01:33:55,458
You won't even
spill your coffee.

1381
01:33:56,375 --> 01:33:57,375
Or vodka.

1382
01:33:57,916 --> 01:34:01,458
You really think I'm going
to blow schnapps chunks?

1383
01:34:01,916 --> 01:34:04,833
I can't believe you'd insult
Icelandic schnapps by calling it chunky.

1384
01:34:05,375 --> 01:34:07,958
Do something. Do something?

1385
01:34:08,166 --> 01:34:09,750
- What do you want me to do?
- Distract me.

1386
01:34:10,625 --> 01:34:11,625
Mrs Gorbachev!

1387
01:34:12,083 --> 01:34:13,083
I didn't mean shouting.

1388
01:34:14,500 --> 01:34:15,500
I have a question for you.

1389
01:34:17,375 --> 01:34:17,833
Of course.

1390
01:34:18,416 --> 01:34:20,458
Wonderful. How can I help?

1391
01:34:20,875 --> 01:34:23,750
Well, the White House released a
statement just before we got in the van.

1392
01:34:23,791 --> 01:34:27,458
The First Lady decided to come here
to see the famous Icelandic horse.

1393
01:34:28,250 --> 01:34:29,250
She's a little late.

1394
01:34:29,375 --> 01:34:34,208
Actually, sources say that she's launched a new
national campaign for breast cancer awareness.

1395
01:34:34,875 --> 01:34:37,916
It's a major new initiative that
she hopes can be a model for the world.

1396
01:34:38,333 --> 01:34:40,125
What do you say to
the American people and

1397
01:34:40,791 --> 01:34:41,958
people across the globe

1398
01:34:42,500 --> 01:34:45,833
about your own efforts this weekend
on behalf of the Soviet peoples?

1399
01:34:46,333 --> 01:34:51,333
And not that this Icelandic horse isn't
important, but it's not exactly cancer prevention.

1400
01:34:59,916 --> 01:35:03,666
Mrs Gorbachev must be livid
her spotlight pulled so hastily.

1401
01:35:05,083 --> 01:35:06,291
You mess with the bull.

1402
01:35:08,666 --> 01:35:09,666
How's it going?

1403
01:35:11,000 --> 01:35:12,833
Well, we're at an impasse.

1404
01:35:13,916 --> 01:35:17,250
Well, Mars is ascendant,
so we have that going for us.

1405
01:35:17,666 --> 01:35:18,666
Yes.

1406
01:35:19,791 --> 01:35:20,791
They can't afford it.

1407
01:35:21,416 --> 01:35:21,666
What?

1408
01:35:22,291 --> 01:35:23,416
They can't afford to compete,

1409
01:35:23,833 --> 01:35:25,875
not on SDI, not on
any of it anymore.

1410
01:35:27,000 --> 01:35:28,208
Isn't that what you wanted,

1411
01:35:28,333 --> 01:35:29,625
what you've been
working towards?

1412
01:35:30,750 --> 01:35:31,750
I know.

1413
01:35:32,583 --> 01:35:33,916
I've just got to reach him.

1414
01:35:35,583 --> 01:35:37,000
I've got to try, Nance.

1415
01:36:32,833 --> 01:36:35,833
Can we agree,
Mr. General Secretary,

1416
01:36:36,125 --> 01:36:39,625
that the issue of
submarines can be resolved...

1417
01:36:39,625 --> 01:36:42,291
with our considerable engagement
and commitment at a later date

1418
01:36:42,541 --> 01:36:46,791
and that the main focus of our
last discussion should be about SDI?

1419
01:36:47,166 --> 01:36:47,333
Yes.

1420
01:36:47,500 --> 01:36:49,541
Then I would like to
take us back to World War

1421
01:36:50,958 --> 01:36:52,791
and the horrifying
advent of chemical warfare,

1422
01:36:53,166 --> 01:36:54,500
mustard gas and chlorine.

1423
01:36:55,083 --> 01:36:56,833
We've been over this
before, Mr. President.

1424
01:36:56,916 --> 01:37:00,791
And the development in a
few years of the gas mask,

1425
01:37:01,250 --> 01:37:03,750
of chemical and
biological protection suits.

1426
01:37:04,458 --> 01:37:06,291
An anti-ballistic
missile system,

1427
01:37:07,250 --> 01:37:13,875
full of lasers, counter-attack radars,
interceptors and satellite weapons is a gas mask.

1428
01:37:13,958 --> 01:37:15,458
But the principle is the same.

1429
01:37:15,458 --> 01:37:17,666
I return to this session
under the impression that...

1430
01:37:17,708 --> 01:37:19,333
You were serious
about compromise.

1431
01:37:23,041 --> 01:37:24,250
What if we gave it to you?

1432
01:37:32,041 --> 01:37:33,458
This is not serious.

1433
01:37:34,625 --> 01:37:36,041
I will give you the shield.

1434
01:37:36,750 --> 01:37:38,000
I will give you SDI.

1435
01:37:38,500 --> 01:37:40,333
Your Congress will
never allow it.

1436
01:37:40,791 --> 01:37:43,500
They will if it's coupled with
complete Soviet nuclear disarmament.

1437
01:37:44,583 --> 01:37:45,583
Nor will your military.

1438
01:37:46,250 --> 01:37:48,375
I have told you,
they report to me.

1439
01:37:48,500 --> 01:37:51,041
You say nothing of your
military-industrial complex.

1440
01:37:51,291 --> 01:37:52,375
What does that have to do?

1441
01:37:52,833 --> 01:37:53,833
You expect

1442
01:37:54,333 --> 01:37:58,625
Lockheed and Northrop and all
your other defense contractors...

1443
01:37:58,833 --> 01:38:01,041
to simply give up
the license to the most

1444
01:38:01,875 --> 01:38:05,708
complex and advanced military
technology ever developed?

1445
01:38:06,708 --> 01:38:11,541
I may not be a capitalist, Mr. President,
but I do understand how it works.

1446
01:38:11,625 --> 01:38:12,625
We can work that out.

1447
01:38:13,125 --> 01:38:14,291
This is a fantasy.

1448
01:38:15,208 --> 01:38:17,083
You have come in
here with a fantasy.

1449
01:38:17,791 --> 01:38:18,958
Or is this some trick?

1450
01:38:20,000 --> 01:38:21,083
You can't afford it.

1451
01:38:21,166 --> 01:38:23,166
You don't believe me
that we won't use it

1452
01:38:23,166 --> 01:38:25,250
to protect ourselves
and preemptively strike.

1453
01:38:25,541 --> 01:38:27,458
I'm telling you that
I won't give it up

1454
01:38:27,500 --> 01:38:28,750
because of rogue nations.

1455
01:38:28,750 --> 01:38:32,833
And I will not have future
generations of Americans live in fear.

1456
01:38:33,666 --> 01:38:35,083
We will give it to you.

1457
01:38:35,291 --> 01:38:37,791
You won't even give
us milking machines!

1458
01:38:39,416 --> 01:38:43,000
You have a stranglehold on every
technology ever created in the West

1459
01:38:43,166 --> 01:38:45,625
so tight that you
will not sell us

1460
01:38:47,083 --> 01:38:50,083
basic agricultural
tractors, plows,

1461
01:38:50,625 --> 01:38:52,875
milking machines for cows to us.

1462
01:38:54,583 --> 01:38:55,958
But you want me to believe

1463
01:38:55,958 --> 01:39:00,458
that you will give us the most
incredible American science ever created

1464
01:39:01,000 --> 01:39:02,708
and that you will
be able to do this

1465
01:39:03,000 --> 01:39:05,833
over the objections of
your Congress and your

1466
01:39:06,583 --> 01:39:07,750
companies and your Pentagon

1467
01:39:07,791 --> 01:39:10,041
and your citizens
and your allies

1468
01:39:11,000 --> 01:39:13,750
and that you won't
even sell the machines

1469
01:39:13,791 --> 01:39:16,875
so that we can produce
more milk for our children?

1470
01:39:34,125 --> 01:39:34,541
I...

1471
01:39:34,625 --> 01:39:37,041
I will look into
the milking machines.

1472
01:39:54,083 --> 01:39:55,083
I...

1473
01:39:57,000 --> 01:39:57,291
Never...

1474
01:39:57,791 --> 01:39:59,791
never occurred to me that
I might get assassinated.

1475
01:40:02,958 --> 01:40:03,958
Not once.

1476
01:40:07,041 --> 01:40:09,458
Nancy would bring it up
during the first campaign,

1477
01:40:10,000 --> 01:40:11,958
but I just never...

1478
01:40:19,125 --> 01:40:20,125
I survived that bullet.

1479
01:40:20,750 --> 01:40:23,291
It was for a reason, a
new mission, a purpose.

1480
01:40:25,125 --> 01:40:26,125
So...

1481
01:40:31,958 --> 01:40:33,500
What if we agree...

1482
01:40:36,833 --> 01:40:40,708
not to deploy the
system for ten years?

1483
01:40:43,583 --> 01:40:46,375
SDI, you will not deploy it

1484
01:40:46,791 --> 01:40:49,375
for the ten years that we
are eliminating these weapons.

1485
01:40:50,541 --> 01:40:52,958
And you will do
everything in your power

1486
01:40:52,958 --> 01:40:54,791
to persuade the
British and the French

1487
01:40:54,791 --> 01:40:56,416
to give up their
weapons as well,

1488
01:40:56,541 --> 01:40:58,500
or else you'll not
extend your shield to them.

1489
01:40:59,291 --> 01:41:00,625
It will be very hard.

1490
01:41:00,916 --> 01:41:03,541
Many of our allies are
under our nuclear umbrella.

1491
01:41:04,250 --> 01:41:05,000
As are ours.

1492
01:41:05,250 --> 01:41:06,666
We would all be
exposed together.

1493
01:41:06,875 --> 01:41:07,083
Yes.

1494
01:41:07,500 --> 01:41:08,916
Okay, I will talk
with our allies.

1495
01:41:10,333 --> 01:41:12,833
I don't believe their peoples
will wish them to continue

1496
01:41:12,875 --> 01:41:14,166
when we have given them up,

1497
01:41:14,875 --> 01:41:18,125
such is the peace-loving
nature of a democratic people.

1498
01:41:18,458 --> 01:41:19,458
Yes.

1499
01:41:21,291 --> 01:41:21,666
So...

1500
01:41:21,666 --> 01:41:25,500
We will both agree
to remove all warheads

1501
01:41:25,791 --> 01:41:27,291
over the next ten years.

1502
01:41:28,000 --> 01:41:29,000
Nuclear zero.

1503
01:41:29,791 --> 01:41:32,791
And, of course, your
inspectors trust but verify.

1504
01:41:34,125 --> 01:41:38,083
And you can develop
SDI in the laboratory.

1505
01:41:44,291 --> 01:41:45,333
Not just the laboratory.

1506
01:41:46,208 --> 01:41:47,208
I'm sorry.

1507
01:41:48,125 --> 01:41:49,291
We will not deploy the system,

1508
01:41:49,708 --> 01:41:51,791
but we must be allowed
to test the shield

1509
01:41:51,916 --> 01:41:53,250
to know if it can work.

1510
01:41:54,125 --> 01:41:55,791
You can test it
in the laboratory?

1511
01:41:56,500 --> 01:41:59,083
Of course, but they must
be tested in the real world.

1512
01:41:59,500 --> 01:42:01,458
Progress cannot be made
in just a laboratory.

1513
01:42:02,416 --> 01:42:04,750
You think we could launch
a man into space on a rocket

1514
01:42:04,750 --> 01:42:07,125
that just worked on
a simulation in some

1515
01:42:07,833 --> 01:42:08,833
scientist's lab?

1516
01:42:09,625 --> 01:42:12,125
So, you will agree
we can test the shield?

1517
01:42:13,125 --> 01:42:14,125
In the laboratory.

1518
01:42:15,916 --> 01:42:19,000
You will have inspectors
at our secure sites as well.

1519
01:42:19,166 --> 01:42:21,666
We would welcome them
to our testing grounds.

1520
01:42:22,583 --> 01:42:25,833
You put a man on the moon
in less than ten years.

1521
01:42:26,333 --> 01:42:27,958
Yes, I was just
talking about that.

1522
01:42:28,000 --> 01:42:30,125
Develop the atom
bomb in under five.

1523
01:42:31,000 --> 01:42:32,166
Okay. Do you not see?

1524
01:42:32,750 --> 01:42:33,041
See what?

1525
01:42:33,666 --> 01:42:37,166
I cannot allow you to
field-test a new weapons system.

1526
01:42:37,458 --> 01:42:37,708
Shield.

1527
01:42:38,333 --> 01:42:41,416
This thing, in
the next ten years,

1528
01:42:41,458 --> 01:42:44,166
is less time than it took
you to put a man on the moon.

1529
01:42:44,291 --> 01:42:45,041
I can't understand.

1530
01:42:45,208 --> 01:42:46,375
You will have inspectors.

1531
01:42:47,000 --> 01:42:48,041
If you're successful,

1532
01:42:48,416 --> 01:42:50,125
you could immediately deploy it,

1533
01:42:50,791 --> 01:42:52,875
and we would be right
back to where we are now.

1534
01:42:53,416 --> 01:42:54,500
You could order a strike.

1535
01:42:54,625 --> 01:42:57,041
We would be defenseless while
you hid behind your shield.

1536
01:42:57,166 --> 01:43:00,041
You can test it in a laboratory,

1537
01:43:00,791 --> 01:43:02,833
just like any other
scientific advance.

1538
01:43:03,083 --> 01:43:06,583
And, in the meantime,
if in the next ten years

1539
01:43:06,583 --> 01:43:09,291
some other state wants to
launch a missile against my people,

1540
01:43:09,333 --> 01:43:12,000
we won't be able to prove
that it would be futile.

1541
01:43:12,875 --> 01:43:15,833
Except in some sort
of scientific journal.

1542
01:43:16,500 --> 01:43:17,541
We will be defenseless.

1543
01:43:18,000 --> 01:43:19,000
As would we.

1544
01:43:20,500 --> 01:43:21,500
It's one word.

1545
01:43:22,875 --> 01:43:25,875
Laboratory. It's one word.

1546
01:43:26,250 --> 01:43:29,083
It's one word that changes
everything for my people.

1547
01:43:29,416 --> 01:43:30,416
And my people.

1548
01:43:31,416 --> 01:43:33,916
Another generation lost
to the terror and horror

1549
01:43:33,916 --> 01:43:35,541
of waiting for the bomb to drop.

1550
01:43:36,041 --> 01:43:37,750
Not if the bombs don't exist.

1551
01:44:00,416 --> 01:44:03,250
I don't know what
else I could have done.

1552
01:44:06,833 --> 01:44:08,291
Just say yes.

1553
01:44:13,458 --> 01:44:15,041
On this one point,

1554
01:44:15,625 --> 01:44:20,625
Mr. President, I
cannot compromise.

1555
01:44:22,708 --> 01:44:23,958
Where are you going?

1556
01:45:02,541 --> 01:45:03,541
President.

1557
01:45:05,625 --> 01:45:06,625
Mr. President.

1558
01:45:10,250 --> 01:45:11,458
I failed.

1559
01:45:19,708 --> 01:45:23,875
I offered him the deal of
a century of human history

1560
01:45:23,916 --> 01:45:26,000
and he's walking
away over one word.

1561
01:45:26,875 --> 01:45:28,083
A single word.

1562
01:45:29,500 --> 01:45:30,958
Never should have trusted him.

1563
01:45:32,625 --> 01:45:33,833
Sir, the car is here.

1564
01:45:34,041 --> 01:45:35,541
Ready to take him
to the airport.

1565
01:45:35,791 --> 01:45:38,166
But it's not over. Not yet.

1566
01:45:38,666 --> 01:45:39,666
It's over.

1567
01:45:40,458 --> 01:45:42,458
A world living on hope.

1568
01:45:43,500 --> 01:45:44,916
Press from all by tonight.

1569
01:45:47,000 --> 01:45:48,416
Sir, when you recruited me,

1570
01:45:48,500 --> 01:45:50,041
you told me we could
make a difference.

1571
01:45:51,416 --> 01:45:53,583
You told me we could
make America safer

1572
01:45:53,583 --> 01:45:54,625
than when we found her.

1573
01:45:54,750 --> 01:45:55,750
It's over. Sir.

1574
01:46:00,333 --> 01:46:01,750
Ask him to come to Washington.

1575
01:46:02,875 --> 01:46:03,875
For what?

1576
01:46:04,083 --> 01:46:07,583
For talk that leads to
nothing, maybe in places...

1577
01:46:07,666 --> 01:46:11,916
Ask him anyway, sir. Please,

1578
01:46:12,250 --> 01:46:13,125
in spite of it all,

1579
01:46:13,208 --> 01:46:14,375
we have maybe a minute left

1580
01:46:14,416 --> 01:46:15,541
until he comes out that door,

1581
01:46:15,875 --> 01:46:16,500
gets in that car,

1582
01:46:16,583 --> 01:46:17,583
and he is gone.

1583
01:46:18,875 --> 01:46:21,166
Do not let what
happened in that house,

1584
01:46:21,250 --> 01:46:25,166
in that room over the last 30
hours destroy our entire future.

1585
01:46:30,416 --> 01:46:31,875
This is the red line, sir.

1586
01:46:33,083 --> 01:46:34,500
You ask me to tell you,

1587
01:46:35,500 --> 01:46:36,583
well, this is it.

1588
01:46:39,000 --> 01:46:40,583
This is it.

1589
01:46:43,000 --> 01:46:45,916
You don't want to be
seen as a warmonger.

1590
01:46:47,083 --> 01:46:48,375
Sir, if we fail here,

1591
01:46:49,500 --> 01:46:50,708
there will be war.

1592
01:46:51,791 --> 01:46:53,166
And when that war is over,

1593
01:46:53,375 --> 01:46:55,375
there will be nothing
left on God's green earth

1594
01:46:55,375 --> 01:46:58,000
but smoldering,
irradiated, lifeless rock.

1595
01:47:00,083 --> 01:47:02,291
I know that that is
not what they want.

1596
01:47:02,375 --> 01:47:04,333
That is not what any
sane person wants.

1597
01:47:04,500 --> 01:47:05,500
It's not about want,

1598
01:47:05,666 --> 01:47:07,041
George. It's about need.

1599
01:47:07,250 --> 01:47:08,250
We need peace.

1600
01:47:09,708 --> 01:47:11,625
That requires the end of them.

1601
01:47:13,541 --> 01:47:14,541
Liberty.

1602
01:47:16,750 --> 01:47:19,166
Only liberty equals peace.

1603
01:47:21,458 --> 01:47:22,458
Peace.

1604
01:47:25,583 --> 01:47:30,750
You didn't come here to
negotiate about nuclear weapons.

1605
01:47:31,958 --> 01:47:34,458
You came here to
try to prove to them

1606
01:47:34,500 --> 01:47:36,416
that they are
fundamentally wrong.

1607
01:47:40,500 --> 01:47:43,708
You came here to
end the Soviet Union.

1608
01:47:44,625 --> 01:47:47,583
I came here to show
him the contradiction.

1609
01:47:49,500 --> 01:47:51,041
It holded people at gunpoint

1610
01:47:51,041 --> 01:47:53,416
in claiming your
utopia is not possible.

1611
01:47:54,333 --> 01:47:55,375
No one is safe.

1612
01:47:55,625 --> 01:47:58,166
No free citizen anywhere is safe

1613
01:47:58,291 --> 01:48:01,583
until a system that is based on

1614
01:48:01,583 --> 01:48:03,875
devaluing of individual liberty

1615
01:48:03,875 --> 01:48:07,791
that threatens everyone
with tyranny is over.

1616
01:48:08,416 --> 01:48:09,750
We can talk about arms control,

1617
01:48:09,875 --> 01:48:11,166
arms reduction, missile shield,

1618
01:48:12,583 --> 01:48:15,958
kingdom come, but if they
just admit that they're wrong,

1619
01:48:16,666 --> 01:48:18,000
they admit that their perfect

1620
01:48:18,208 --> 01:48:20,208
Soviet commune is wrong.

1621
01:48:21,458 --> 01:48:23,416
If he admits
something is simple,

1622
01:48:24,541 --> 01:48:25,750
if people want to leave,

1623
01:48:27,458 --> 01:48:29,916
then it's over. It crumbles.

1624
01:48:31,000 --> 01:48:32,916
We consign them to
the ash heap of history.

1625
01:48:35,500 --> 01:48:39,750
George, we just have to
show that it's possible.

1626
01:48:44,916 --> 01:48:46,208
Last night we had a deal to

1627
01:48:47,083 --> 01:48:49,083
rid the planet of
nuclear weapons, sir.

1628
01:48:49,791 --> 01:48:51,750
Anything is possible.

1629
01:48:54,291 --> 01:48:55,291
May I suggest, sir,

1630
01:48:56,500 --> 01:49:01,291
that you retry your test with Rostropovich's
sister, this time with a compromise?

1631
01:49:02,458 --> 01:49:04,125
Why should I compromise
when he won't?

1632
01:49:04,208 --> 01:49:05,208
Because, sir,

1633
01:49:05,375 --> 01:49:06,833
good leaders make
the present better,

1634
01:49:07,291 --> 01:49:09,375
great leaders make
the future better.

1635
01:49:10,625 --> 01:49:12,166
He wants to do great
things, too, sir.

1636
01:49:13,750 --> 01:49:14,750
He needs a partner.

1637
01:49:21,000 --> 01:49:22,000
Well?

1638
01:49:23,958 --> 01:49:24,958
What's the compromise?

1639
01:49:27,208 --> 01:49:28,416
That you'll send her back home.

1640
01:49:30,791 --> 01:49:31,916
And it won't be forever, sir,

1641
01:49:32,333 --> 01:49:33,333
not if you're right.

1642
01:49:38,541 --> 01:49:39,541
Secretary General!

1643
01:49:50,875 --> 01:49:53,875
Let Rostropovich's sister come
to his birthday in Washington.

1644
01:49:55,458 --> 01:49:56,458
Let her leave,

1645
01:49:56,583 --> 01:49:59,083
and I give you my
word she'll return.

1646
01:50:02,458 --> 01:50:04,666
A journey of a thousand miles

1647
01:50:04,833 --> 01:50:06,375
doesn't start with
the most incredible

1648
01:50:06,416 --> 01:50:07,500
arms agreement in history.

1649
01:50:08,875 --> 01:50:10,000
It begins with a single step.

1650
01:50:10,916 --> 01:50:11,916
If you seek peace,

1651
01:50:12,833 --> 01:50:15,666
tear down this wall
between us, Mr. Gorbachev.

1652
01:50:16,291 --> 01:50:17,500
Tear down this wall,

1653
01:50:17,708 --> 01:50:18,666
just this one time,

1654
01:50:18,750 --> 01:50:19,750
for this one woman,

1655
01:50:21,375 --> 01:50:22,541
and we will meet.

1656
01:50:24,500 --> 01:50:25,708
We will talk again.

1657
01:50:40,041 --> 01:50:43,041
The world thought it
was a failure at the time.

1658
01:50:44,166 --> 01:50:45,291
Even I had my doubts.

1659
01:50:47,833 --> 01:50:48,833
But a year later,

1660
01:50:49,250 --> 01:50:50,333
President Reagan and Mr.

1661
01:50:50,416 --> 01:50:52,250
Gorbachev signed the first arms

1662
01:50:52,833 --> 01:50:55,041
reduction agreement
in human history.

1663
01:50:56,458 --> 01:50:58,583
Since then, nuclear weapons...

1664
01:50:58,625 --> 01:51:00,666
and have been reduced
to less than 10%

1665
01:51:01,083 --> 01:51:02,375
of their Cold War peak.

1666
01:51:04,333 --> 01:51:06,291
Two years later, the
Cold War was over,

1667
01:51:07,375 --> 01:51:09,416
and just as President
Reagan had foreseen,

1668
01:51:10,416 --> 01:51:12,291
the Soviet Union ended,

1669
01:51:13,416 --> 01:51:14,833
because our leaders decided

1670
01:51:14,875 --> 01:51:16,833
to build bridges
instead of bombs.

1671
01:51:20,541 --> 01:51:22,083
Rostropovich flew to Berlin,

1672
01:51:23,000 --> 01:51:25,958
and with a folding chair
and a borrowed cello,

1673
01:51:25,958 --> 01:51:28,375
played Bach as
the wall came down.

1674
01:51:30,625 --> 01:51:34,666
A few years later, Mr. Gorbachev
visited me out at Stanford.

1675
01:51:36,958 --> 01:51:37,375
I said,

1676
01:51:37,958 --> 01:51:43,125
When we first met, the Cold War
was at its most dangerous point,

1677
01:51:45,125 --> 01:51:46,875
and three years
later it was over.

1678
01:51:49,125 --> 01:51:51,416
What do you believe was
the beginning of the end?

1679
01:51:53,666 --> 01:51:55,875
He replied with one word,
