surgical strike on the missiles,
an attack on the missiles

centers throughout the island,

00:13:21,198 --> 00:13:22,665
without, uh, understanding
178
00:13:22,700 --> 00:13:25,702
what in God's name, uh,
Khrushchev is thinking.
179
00:13:25,736 --> 00:13:29,172
Mr. President,
I-I think the man's actions
180
00:13:29,206 --> 00:13:31,674
are a pretty good indicator
of what he's thinking.
181
00:13:31,709 --> 00:13:32,876
Castro made
a compelling argument
182
00:13:32,877 --> 00:13:34,223
that we're gonna
overthrow his regime.
183
00:13:34,224 --> 00:13:35,920
Khrushchev sent in the missiles
to keep us from doing it.
184
00:13:35,921 --> 00:13:37,121
It's more than that, Mac.
185
00:13:37,227 --> 00:13:39,151
He wants to bully us
into submission, sir.
186
00:13:40,081 --> 00:13:42,132
Thinks I'm weak,
'cause of the Bay of Pigs.
187
00:13:42,558 --> 00:13:44,220
That's right, sir.
But the fact remains,
188
00:13:44,221 --> 00:13:45,452
we still don't know
what's on these ships.
189
00:13:45,453 --> 00:13:46,248
Absolutely.
190
00:13:46,249 --> 00:13:48,026
I want to know
what pressures he's under,
191
00:13:48,151 --> 00:13:51,341
what he's being advised by his,
uh, people in the Kremlin.
192
00:13:51,424 --> 00:13:53,225
Well,
I think we can assume, sir,
193
00:13:53,259 --> 00:13:55,227
they're advising him
to take the aggressive course.
194
00:13:55,261 --> 00:13:56,728
I think it's very dangerous
195
00:13:56,763 --> 00:13:59,298
to start making assumptions
right now, General.
196
00:13:59,332 --> 00:14:02,301
I just, uh, want to try
and put myself in his shoes.
197
00:14:02,335 --> 00:14:04,870
Fine, sir.
But if you do choose
198
00:14:04,904 --> 00:14:08,573
a military option,
we're gonna have to move fast.
199
00:14:08,608 --> 00:14:11,076
We're, uh, getting
more specifics now, sir.
200
00:14:14,623 --> 00:14:15,891
Well, I would say
we have to get
201
00:14:15,898 --> 00:14:18,366
a, uh, direct line
of communication to Moscow.
202
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,402
We could get Secretary Rusk
to talk to Ambassador Dobrynin.
203
00:14:21,437 --> 00:14:22,870
You do it.
204
00:14:22,905 --> 00:14:24,172
No, no, no, no.
Protocol dictates that--
205
00:14:24,173 --> 00:14:25,640
forget about protocol.
206
00:14:25,667 --> 00:14:28,135
Dobrynin knows Bobby,
knows Bobby speaks for me.
207
00:14:28,170 --> 00:14:29,637
I'll set it up.
208
00:14:29,671 --> 00:14:31,138
Thank you.
209
00:14:34,910 --> 00:14:37,411
Your back hurting?
210
00:14:37,446 --> 00:14:40,715
Jackie took the kids,
went up to Virginia.
211
00:14:40,749 --> 00:14:43,184
Well, that's probably best,
considering.
212
00:14:43,218 --> 00:14:45,620
Wasn't about this.
213
00:14:45,654 --> 00:14:48,256
I think
she's finished with me.
214
00:14:48,290 --> 00:14:52,026
Why? What happened?
215
00:14:53,595 --> 00:14:55,997
Well, I'm not
a kid anymore, but...
216
00:14:56,031 --> 00:14:58,032
but I keep
acting like one.
217
00:15:04,053 --> 00:15:06,355
The kids are fine, Jack.
218
00:15:06,408 --> 00:15:08,809
Good.
219
00:15:08,844 --> 00:15:10,311
How long, uh,
220
00:15:10,345 --> 00:15:13,814
how long do you think
you're gonna stay up there?
221
00:15:13,849 --> 00:15:17,285
I don't know.
222
00:15:18,820 --> 00:15:21,289
Well, I just wanted to say
that I, uh...
223
00:15:21,323 --> 00:15:24,058
I miss you.
224
00:15:26,128 --> 00:15:29,297
I have to go.
225
00:15:51,891 --> 00:15:53,559
Yes?
226
00:15:53,562 --> 00:15:55,030
Send him in.
227
00:15:56,866 --> 00:15:58,333
What did Dobrynin say?
228
00:15:58,367 --> 00:16:00,802
Well, he claims there are
no missiles in Cuba.
229
00:16:00,836 --> 00:16:03,571
I showed him the, uh,
surveillance photos.
230
00:16:03,606 --> 00:16:05,640
He said they're fabricated.
231
00:16:05,675 --> 00:16:08,176
He claims, uh,
Khrushchev only wants peace.
232
00:16:08,210 --> 00:16:10,645
That's what Hitler said
right before the blitz.
233
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,581
McNamara sent that over.
234
00:16:13,616 --> 00:16:16,484
It's the, uh, contingency plans
for military operations.
235
00:16:16,519 --> 00:16:19,321
That's been the consensus
over there?
236
00:16:19,355 --> 00:16:22,290
Surgical strike,
followed by invasion.
237
00:16:22,325 --> 00:16:24,859
What do you think?
238
00:16:24,894 --> 00:16:27,495
Well, given what we know
at the moment, uh,
239
00:16:27,530 --> 00:16:30,799
it certainly is
our best chance at success,
240
00:16:30,833 --> 00:16:33,435
including getting
rid of Castro.
241
00:16:35,137 --> 00:16:36,604
But, uh...
242
00:16:36,639 --> 00:16:38,907
frankly, at this stage,
I don't think the, uh,
243
00:16:38,941 --> 00:16:40,209
diplomatic process
is gonna pay off.
244
00:16:40,254 --> 00:16:41,322
I just--I just don't know
245
00:16:41,385 --> 00:16:44,053
what, uh, Khrushchev stands
to gain in all this.
246
00:16:44,362 --> 00:16:47,964
I mean, Christ, he knows what
our, uh, nuclear arsenal is.
247
00:16:47,999 --> 00:16:50,033
It's not a secret.
248
00:16:50,067 --> 00:16:52,068
Well, I get the impression
249
00:16:52,103 --> 00:16:54,704
that he, uh, thinks
we're afraid to use it.
250
00:16:54,739 --> 00:16:58,475
But you looked him in the eye.
What do you think?
251
00:17:07,585 --> 00:17:09,552
In southeast Asia
and Latin America,
252
00:17:09,587 --> 00:17:11,621
people's revolutions
are lighting the lamp
253
00:17:11,656 --> 00:17:13,290
of freedom
and human dignity.
254
00:17:13,324 --> 00:17:15,792
We have a difference of
opinion over what constitutes
255
00:17:15,826 --> 00:17:17,794
freedom and human dignity,
Mr. Chairman,
256
00:17:17,828 --> 00:17:20,797
but I... I reject the historic
belief that our differences
257
00:17:20,831 --> 00:17:22,799
can only be resolved
through armed conflict.
258
00:17:32,276 --> 00:17:34,344
Then you miscalculate
the history,
259
00:17:34,378 --> 00:17:35,812
Mr. President.
260
00:17:35,846 --> 00:17:39,582
You lost, uh, 20 million people
in the war, Mr. Chairman.
261
00:17:44,021 --> 00:17:46,489
With our arsenals
and our delivery systems today,
262
00:17:46,524 --> 00:17:49,759
twice that many Russians
would die in the first hour.
263
00:17:58,369 --> 00:18:01,738
Then it's a good thing
we have so many.
264
00:18:08,412 --> 00:18:11,414
♪
265
00:18:26,497 --> 00:18:30,200
You should have enough clothes
to get you through the week.
266
00:18:30,234 --> 00:18:33,603
Bobby, how bad's it gonna be?
267
00:18:33,637 --> 00:18:35,638
I was talking
with Marg McNamara.
268
00:18:35,673 --> 00:18:38,441
She said Bob said it could
be the end of everything.
269
00:18:38,476 --> 00:18:40,443
What did he mean?
270
00:18:40,478 --> 00:18:44,114
I think he's just, uh,
being melodramatic, really.
271
00:18:46,684 --> 00:18:48,885
Is he?
272
00:18:57,762 --> 00:19:01,264
I want you to have this.
273
00:19:04,101 --> 00:19:06,669
It was your mother's.
274
00:19:06,704 --> 00:19:09,606
I've used it every day
since she died.
275
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:14,043
Help Jack. Keep us safe.
276
00:19:19,762 --> 00:19:21,729
Heya, kid.
277
00:19:22,753 --> 00:19:23,973
What are you doing here?
278
00:19:23,979 --> 00:19:25,947
Oh, I was
in the neighborhood.
279
00:19:25,981 --> 00:19:27,248
Liar.
280
00:19:27,283 --> 00:19:30,885
Did Bobby send you here
to fix my marriage?
281
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,789
He doesn't know I'm here.
That's the truth.
282
00:19:34,824 --> 00:19:38,326
Well, you knew where to find me,
so I assume you know...
283
00:19:38,360 --> 00:19:41,429
Why I'm here.
284
00:19:41,464 --> 00:19:44,265
Yeah.
285
00:19:47,269 --> 00:19:52,140
I know we haven't always
been sorority pals.
286
00:19:52,174 --> 00:19:56,644
I never fit in with the family
the way you have.
287
00:19:56,679 --> 00:20:00,248
I always figured it was
because you didn't want to.
288
00:20:00,282 --> 00:20:03,151
You're--you're
your own person, Jackie.
289
00:20:03,185 --> 00:20:06,121
I-I admire that.
290
00:20:06,155 --> 00:20:09,624
Tell you the truth, I, uh...
291
00:20:09,658 --> 00:20:13,027
Always been a little bit
intimidated by it.
292
00:20:15,097 --> 00:20:18,032
You're intimidated by me?
293
00:20:19,602 --> 00:20:22,737
Every woman in America
wants to be like you.
294
00:20:22,771 --> 00:20:25,740
They want to look like you,
they want to dress like you...
295
00:20:25,774 --> 00:20:27,242
Come on.
296
00:20:27,276 --> 00:20:28,643
Oh, now...
297
00:20:28,677 --> 00:20:31,146
You start getting
all humble on me,
298
00:20:31,180 --> 00:20:33,148
that's really gonna
piss me off.
299
00:20:33,182 --> 00:20:35,650
You know what intimidates me?
300
00:20:35,684 --> 00:20:39,654
Someone who can raise a family
and have a marriage that works,
301
00:20:39,688 --> 00:20:43,391
and who makes it all
look so easy.
302
00:20:43,425 --> 00:20:46,761
If I had your secret,
I'd trade it all in
303
00:20:46,795 --> 00:20:49,230
for every magazine cover
I've been on.
304
00:20:52,768 --> 00:20:55,336
Wow.
305
00:20:55,371 --> 00:20:58,106
So how do you do it?
306
00:21:01,343 --> 00:21:04,279
It's no secret, Jackie. I...
307
00:21:04,313 --> 00:21:07,048
I just...
308
00:21:07,082 --> 00:21:09,884
Love him.
309
00:21:14,323 --> 00:21:16,958
Look, I...
310
00:21:16,992 --> 00:21:20,161
I don't know what goes on
between you and Jack.
311
00:21:20,196 --> 00:21:23,865
Frankly, it's none
of my business. I...
312
00:21:23,899 --> 00:21:25,867
I came here
because I'm worried
313
00:21:25,901 --> 00:21:27,869
about what's going on
at the White House.
314
00:21:27,903 --> 00:21:30,638
What do you mean?
315
00:21:32,708 --> 00:21:36,778
I don't know the specifics,
but I do know that it's serious.
316
00:21:36,812 --> 00:21:38,479
It's always serious.
317
00:21:38,514 --> 00:21:43,551
It's different this time,
Jackie. It's dangerous.
318
00:21:43,586 --> 00:21:45,220
Bobby, McNamara, Bundy--
319
00:21:45,254 --> 00:21:48,189
they've all been working
around the clock.
320
00:21:50,326 --> 00:21:53,928
I can only imagine
what Jack must be going through.
321
00:21:55,998 --> 00:21:58,299
We just received photos
from the CIA,
322
00:21:58,334 --> 00:22:00,735
revealing five additional
missile sites on the island.
323
00:22:00,769 --> 00:22:02,737
They report that
the Soviets could have
324
00:22:02,771 --> 00:22:05,740
between 16 and 32 missiles ready
to fire within several days.
325
00:22:05,774 --> 00:22:08,176
Mac, what is the, uh,
timeline on those ships?
326
00:22:08,210 --> 00:22:10,178
About 3,800 miles away
from Cuba.
327
00:22:10,212 --> 00:22:13,314
At the current rate of speed,
they should be there in about a week.
328
00:22:13,349 --> 00:22:16,050
Mr. President, a week is a--
is a lifetime.
329
00:22:16,085 --> 00:22:18,853
The real threat is the missiles
already on the island.
330
00:22:18,887 --> 00:22:20,855
I mean,
millions of American citizens
331
00:22:20,889 --> 00:22:23,091
will die if they're launched,
332
00:22:23,125 --> 00:22:24,316
and Khrushchev is
just crazy enough to do it.
333
00:22:24,317 --> 00:22:25,800
I don't know if you're right
about that, General.
334
00:22:25,801 --> 00:22:27,768
I mean, he's a--he's a bully,
335
00:22:27,803 --> 00:22:30,104
but, uh, I don't think
he's hostile.
336
00:22:30,138 --> 00:22:33,131
Don't think he's, uh, insane
enough to want to start a war.
337
00:22:33,132 --> 00:22:34,224
What if you're wrong, sir?
338
00:22:34,235 --> 00:22:36,911
I could be, and we should
sustain the military option.
339
00:22:36,912 --> 00:22:38,112
We're running out of time, sir.
340
00:22:38,206 --> 00:22:39,893
They're arming these missiles
as we speak.
341
00:22:39,894 --> 00:22:41,094
I understand that, General,
342
00:22:41,209 --> 00:22:42,860
but if I am right,
I want to give Khrushchev
343
00:22:42,862 --> 00:22:45,377
as much time as possible to
convince the people around him
344
00:22:45,378 --> 00:22:47,546
that a goddamn war
is not the option.
345
00:22:47,580 --> 00:22:51,275
Sir, we need to strike
and we need to strike now.
346
00:22:51,599 --> 00:22:53,633
But what you're suggesting
is a first strike,
347
00:22:53,667 --> 00:22:57,170
and a strike without warning
will be viewed internationally
348
00:22:57,204 --> 00:23:00,340
as an unprovoked assault.
So if we do this,
349
00:23:00,374 --> 00:23:02,508
against a small country
like Cuba,
350
00:23:02,543 --> 00:23:05,578
well, it's Pearl Harbor
all over again,
351
00:23:05,613 --> 00:23:07,580
only this time,
it's in reverse.
352
00:23:07,615 --> 00:23:09,370
And my brother will not
go down in history
353
00:23:09,499 --> 00:23:11,633
as the American Tojo.
354
00:23:12,838 --> 00:23:15,373
So let's rethink this.
355
00:23:15,407 --> 00:23:18,676
The difficulty we face is,
we can't guarantee
356
00:23:18,710 --> 00:23:21,879
getting rid of the missiles
that are already there.
357
00:23:21,914 --> 00:23:25,249
Well, that's exactly, uh,
why, in my opinion, uh,
358
00:23:25,284 --> 00:23:27,251
we should focus
on stopping these ships.
359
00:23:27,286 --> 00:23:29,387
That's a more manageable
situation.
360
00:23:29,421 --> 00:23:33,858
We could, uh, revisit
the blockade idea, sir.
361
00:23:33,892 --> 00:23:35,993
Establishing
a-a demarcation line
362
00:23:36,028 --> 00:23:38,496
of, say, 500 miles
from the Cuban mainland.
363
00:23:38,530 --> 00:23:40,831
A blockade is
an interesting idea.
364
00:23:40,866 --> 00:23:43,501
But the issue still remains--
a blockade is illegal
365
00:23:43,535 --> 00:23:45,169
under International law.
366
00:23:45,204 --> 00:23:47,505
Then we call it a quarantine.
367
00:23:47,539 --> 00:23:49,807
Nothing illegal about that.
368
00:23:50,612 --> 00:23:52,746
There has beena virtual news blackout
369
00:23:52,780 --> 00:23:55,949
throughout Washingtonregarding the Cuban situation.
370
00:23:55,984 --> 00:23:58,828
Whether or not this crisis canbe resolved peaceably or not
371
00:23:58,829 --> 00:24:01,231
is the burning question,the question to which
372
00:24:01,265 --> 00:24:02,932
sources in the White House,the Pentagon,
373
00:24:02,967 --> 00:24:04,934
and the State Departmenthave refused to comment,
374
00:24:04,969 --> 00:24:06,769
leaving the American peopleto wait
375
00:24:06,804 --> 00:24:09,339
and wonderwhat President Kennedy will say
376
00:24:09,373 --> 00:24:11,441
when he takesto the air tonight.
377
00:24:14,645 --> 00:24:16,512
Hello?
Mother, it's Bobby.
378
00:24:16,547 --> 00:24:19,515
Hello, dear. We're just
getting ready to watch Jack.
379
00:24:19,550 --> 00:24:22,318
Well, that's actually why I'm--
why I'm calling.
380
00:24:22,353 --> 00:24:24,821
I just wanted
to let you know that, uh,
381
00:24:24,855 --> 00:24:26,823
there may be some things
in his speech
382
00:24:26,857 --> 00:24:28,825
that, uh, sound
a little frightening to you.
383
00:24:28,859 --> 00:24:30,827
Uh, I didn't want
you and dad to worry.
384
00:24:30,861 --> 00:24:33,529
Well, with everything
we're hearing, we are concerned.
385
00:24:33,564 --> 00:24:37,166
Move him, will you?
I-I can't see the set.
386
00:24:37,201 --> 00:24:40,169
Has Jack been to mass?
No, I-I don't think so.
387
00:24:40,204 --> 00:24:43,172
We've been, uh, kind of busy
with things here.
388
00:24:43,207 --> 00:24:45,074
Well, wish him luck.
389
00:24:45,109 --> 00:24:48,486
Let him know
we're very proud of him.
390
00:24:48,511 --> 00:24:49,708
I will.
391
00:24:49,709 --> 00:24:53,144
Love you. Bye.
392
00:24:53,179 --> 00:24:56,014
Their status might bechanged to that of active duty
393
00:24:56,048 --> 00:24:59,451
at a moment's notice. We switchyou now to the Oval Office.
394
00:24:59,485 --> 00:25:00,919
Ladies and gentlemen,
395
00:25:00,953 --> 00:25:02,921
the Presidentof the United States.
396
00:25:04,290 --> 00:25:06,591
Good evening,
my fellow citizens.
397
00:25:06,626 --> 00:25:09,494
This government, as promised,
398
00:25:09,528 --> 00:25:12,163
has maintained
the closest surveillance
399
00:25:12,198 --> 00:25:15,934
of the Soviet military buildupon the island of Cuba.
400
00:25:15,968 --> 00:25:19,337
Within the past week,unmistakable evidence
401
00:25:19,372 --> 00:25:20,906
has established the fact
402
00:25:20,940 --> 00:25:23,642
that a seriesof offensive missile sites
403
00:25:23,676 --> 00:25:26,811
is now in preparationon that imprisoned island.
404
00:25:26,846 --> 00:25:30,282
The purpose of these basescan be none other
405
00:25:30,316 --> 00:25:33,318
than to provide a nuclearfirst-strike capability
406
00:25:33,352 --> 00:25:35,620
against the Western Hemisphere.
407
00:25:35,655 --> 00:25:38,823
I call upon Chairman Khrushchevto halt and eliminate
408
00:25:38,858 --> 00:25:42,127
this clandestine, reckless,and provocative threat
409
00:25:42,161 --> 00:25:43,862
to world peace.
410
00:25:43,896 --> 00:25:45,964
The cost of freedomis always high,
411
00:25:45,998 --> 00:25:47,966
and Americanshave always paid it.
412
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,669
And one pathwe shall never choose--
413
00:25:50,703 --> 00:25:54,239
and that is the pathof surrender or submission.
414
00:25:54,273 --> 00:25:56,541
Our goalis not the victory of might,
415
00:25:56,575 --> 00:25:59,377
but the vindication of right,
416
00:25:59,412 --> 00:26:02,013
not peaceat the expense of freedom,
417
00:26:02,048 --> 00:26:04,215
but both peace and freedom.
418
00:26:04,250 --> 00:26:07,819
God willing,that goal will be achieved.
419
00:26:07,853 --> 00:26:11,489
Thank you and good night.
420
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,063
Mac, how far are those Russian
ships from the blockade?
421
00:26:15,088 --> 00:26:16,388
They've just moved
to the 100-mile mark.
422
00:26:16,430 --> 00:26:17,979
Okay. In terms of time,
are they--
423
00:26:17,980 --> 00:26:19,377
Mr. President, our sonar's
just picked up
424
00:26:19,378 --> 00:26:23,646
two Russian subs with S.L.B.N.
capability escorting the ships.
425
00:26:23,668 --> 00:26:26,637
Okay, so if we, uh, if we stop
their ships, they can retaliate.
426
00:26:26,691 --> 00:26:28,387
Retaliate with their subs,
yes, sir.
427
00:26:28,393 --> 00:26:30,428
Khrushchev has just
upped the ante,
428
00:26:30,435 --> 00:26:32,570
risking a confrontation
7,000 miles from Moscow.
429
00:26:32,604 --> 00:26:35,673
Gentlemen, could I, uh,
have your attention, please?
430
00:26:35,707 --> 00:26:37,441
Jack, State Department just
received this from Khrushchev.
431
00:26:37,476 --> 00:26:38,984
Go ahead.
432
00:26:38,985 --> 00:26:40,185
Uh, "you have not declared
a quarantine,
433
00:26:40,445 --> 00:26:42,913
"but rather have set forth
an ultimatum and threatened that
434
00:26:42,948 --> 00:26:45,816
"if we do not give in to your
demands, you will use force.
435
00:26:45,851 --> 00:26:47,885
"Naturally,
we will not be bystanders
436
00:26:47,919 --> 00:26:49,387
"with regards to piratical acts
437
00:26:49,421 --> 00:26:51,389
"by American ships
on the high seas.
438
00:26:51,423 --> 00:26:53,391
"We will be forced to take
measures we consider necessary
439
00:26:53,425 --> 00:26:55,659
"and adequate in order
to protect our rights,
440
00:26:55,694 --> 00:26:59,463
and we have everything
necessary to do so."
441
00:27:00,899 --> 00:27:03,434
Christ, he's calling us out.
442
00:27:03,468 --> 00:27:06,137
Yes, sir.
And we cannot capitulate.
443
00:27:06,171 --> 00:27:08,139
If we don't stop those ships,
444
00:27:08,173 --> 00:27:10,141
our entire deterrent system
loses all credibility.
445
00:27:10,175 --> 00:27:12,241
What are the, uh...
What are the steps?
446
00:27:12,266 --> 00:27:13,410
We signal our intent to board.
447
00:27:13,455 --> 00:27:15,857
They don't acknowledge, we fire
a warning shot across their bow.
448
00:27:15,891 --> 00:27:17,905
And, uh, if they keep coming?
449
00:27:17,906 --> 00:27:19,942
Then we take out their rudders
and leave them dead in the water.
450
00:27:19,943 --> 00:27:21,411
Which runs the risk
of killing Russian sailors.
451
00:27:21,418 --> 00:27:22,892
And a retaliation
from Khrushchev.
452
00:27:22,917 --> 00:27:24,152
It's the nature
of conflict, sir.
453
00:27:24,172 --> 00:27:26,707
I know the nature of conflict,
General. I've been in it.
454
00:27:26,742 --> 00:27:29,710
Mac? You have no choice
but to stop those ships.
455
00:27:29,745 --> 00:27:31,846
Sir, I still believe a
diplomatic solution is possible.
456
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:33,182
That's just about the most
meaningless thing
457
00:27:33,185 --> 00:27:34,652
I've ever heard, Dean.
458
00:27:34,687 --> 00:27:36,422
We're well beyond diplomacy
at this point.
459
00:27:36,463 --> 00:27:38,200
Khrushchev is gonna run
the damned blockade.
460
00:27:38,201 --> 00:27:39,275
Sir, I agree
with the Attorney General.
461
00:27:39,300 --> 00:27:41,935
We have to stop those ships,
and I recommend that we deploy
462
00:27:41,969 --> 00:27:46,168
Helos and Sub Seekers from
Key West to stop the subs.
463
00:27:46,169 --> 00:27:47,883
Do you wanna start
world war III?
464
00:27:48,255 --> 00:27:49,513
It'll be the end of all
life on the planet.
465
00:27:49,514 --> 00:27:51,414
Decisive action would surgically
remove the missiles,
466
00:27:51,469 --> 00:27:53,437
confronting the world
with a fait accompli.
467
00:27:53,472 --> 00:27:55,166
Let's not forget about
the political advantage...
468
00:27:55,167 --> 00:27:56,367
Militarily,
there's no options here.
469
00:27:56,475 --> 00:27:58,443
Punishment...
There's no other alternative...
470
00:28:05,627 --> 00:28:07,595
Strategic Air CommandB-52 Bombers,
471
00:28:07,629 --> 00:28:11,131
already on a massiveworldwide airborne alert,
472
00:28:11,166 --> 00:28:13,834
are now flying24-hour missions.
473
00:28:16,137 --> 00:28:19,006
Before one B-52leaves its airborne station,
474
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,376
another is airborneto take its place.
475
00:28:24,179 --> 00:28:26,714
Mr. President?
476
00:28:26,748 --> 00:28:30,217
If we fire on their ships,
and they--they do retaliate,
477
00:28:30,252 --> 00:28:32,086
that initiates
a full-scale engagement.
478
00:28:32,120 --> 00:28:34,088
We already know from the CIA
479
00:28:34,122 --> 00:28:36,090
that the Soviets have brought
their military forces
480
00:28:36,124 --> 00:28:36,914
into a complete
state of readiness.
481
00:28:37,639 --> 00:28:38,839
Are we ready?
482
00:28:38,881 --> 00:28:40,599
Yes, sir.
We're at Defcon 2, sir.
483
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:41,800
We're ready.
484
00:28:56,864 --> 00:28:59,200
Their ships will, uh,
485
00:28:59,201 --> 00:29:01,502
not be permitted
to cross that line.
486
00:29:01,526 --> 00:29:05,228
Use whatever means necessary
to stop them.
487
00:29:05,263 --> 00:29:08,832
Bobby, talk to Dobrynin. He
needs to get word to Khrushchev.
488
00:29:08,866 --> 00:29:11,501
Those ships will be stopped.
489
00:29:13,371 --> 00:29:15,072
Russian Embassy, please.
490
00:29:15,106 --> 00:29:18,108
♪
491
00:29:21,087 --> 00:29:24,957
It seems to, uh,the observer, uh, of the scene
492
00:29:24,991 --> 00:29:28,894
that, uh, that Cuba has to bethe point of the crisis.
493
00:29:28,929 --> 00:29:30,896
This is the pointat which, uh,
494
00:29:30,931 --> 00:29:34,900
we are concerned that, uh,there might be shooting,
495
00:29:34,935 --> 00:29:37,403
uh, among the ships at sea.
496
00:29:37,437 --> 00:29:40,039
That, uh, in the story thatwe heard a great deal of today,
497
00:29:40,064 --> 00:29:41,264
the possibility that invasionmight have to be undertaken
498
00:29:43,176 --> 00:29:45,744
to assure thatthose bases are eliminated.
499
00:29:45,779 --> 00:29:48,047
Uh, if invasion is undertaken,
500
00:29:48,081 --> 00:29:50,416
uh, the Russians have said thatthey would retaliate
501
00:29:50,450 --> 00:29:52,251
with, uh, rocket fire.
502
00:30:02,028 --> 00:30:04,496
Well, we've given this man
every chance to avoid war.
503
00:30:04,531 --> 00:30:07,499
If it happens now, it's because
he wanted it in the first place.
504
00:30:07,534 --> 00:30:09,668
Civil Defense becomes
a major problem now.
505
00:30:09,703 --> 00:30:11,670
There's no contingency to
evacuate 100 million people
506
00:30:11,705 --> 00:30:13,672
from the East Coast.
Sir...
507
00:30:13,707 --> 00:30:16,875
We just received word from
Admiral Ward on the "Essex."
508
00:30:16,910 --> 00:30:19,111
Did we fire, uh,
fire on those ships?
509
00:30:19,145 --> 00:30:20,779
No, sir.
510
00:30:20,814 --> 00:30:25,284
The Soviet ships have stopped
their advance toward the line.
511
00:30:25,318 --> 00:30:27,720
They're turning around.
512
00:30:27,754 --> 00:30:28,723
And what--
what about the subs?
513
00:30:28,724 --> 00:30:29,924
They've stopped also.
514
00:30:30,156 --> 00:30:32,458
But, sir, we still have those
operational missile sites on the island.
515
00:30:33,327 --> 00:30:35,512
I find Khrushchev's actions
very encouraging, sir.
516
00:30:35,513 --> 00:30:37,681
Well, I do, too. I think he just
showed us he wants this over
517
00:30:37,687 --> 00:30:38,793
as much as we do.
518
00:30:38,794 --> 00:30:39,994
May I suggest we stay
at Defcon 2, sir?
519
00:30:40,357 --> 00:30:42,324
Okay, fine.
But no provocative action.
520
00:30:42,359 --> 00:30:44,960
Khrushchev just stood up
to the hawks in the Kremlin.
521
00:30:44,995 --> 00:30:46,962
I don't wanna give him
a reason to regret it.
522
00:30:46,997 --> 00:30:48,631
Very good, sir.
523
00:30:55,639 --> 00:30:58,240
Yes. Well, thank you,
Mr. Prime Minister.
524
00:30:58,275 --> 00:31:01,243
Thank you.
The, uh, State Department
525
00:31:01,278 --> 00:31:03,245
just translated this letter
from Khrushchev.
526
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,648
It was written before
the ships had turned around.
527
00:31:05,682 --> 00:31:08,450
"Mr. President,
only lunatics and suicides,
528
00:31:08,485 --> 00:31:10,186
"who themselves
want to perish,
529
00:31:10,220 --> 00:31:12,821
"would think of waging
nuclear war.
530
00:31:12,856 --> 00:31:15,124
"We in the Soviet Union
want to live
531
00:31:15,158 --> 00:31:17,059
"and do not at all
want to destroy your country.
532
00:31:17,093 --> 00:31:20,930
"I propose we will declare
that our ships, bound for Cuba,
533
00:31:20,964 --> 00:31:23,332
"will not carry
any kind of armaments.
534
00:31:23,366 --> 00:31:24,833
"You will declare
535
00:31:24,868 --> 00:31:28,604
that the United States
will not invade Cuba."
536
00:31:28,638 --> 00:31:30,400
No mention
about missiles in Turkey?
537
00:31:30,425 --> 00:31:31,625
Nothing.
538
00:31:31,641 --> 00:31:34,109
Does Mac know about this?
I wanted to speak to you.
539
00:31:34,144 --> 00:31:35,844
Mrs. Lincoln, could you
get me Mr. Bundy?
540
00:31:35,879 --> 00:31:37,031
Yes, sir.
541
00:31:37,056 --> 00:31:38,256
So how would
you like to proceed?
542
00:31:40,121 --> 00:31:42,992
Well, I wanna prepare
a, uh, private response
543
00:31:43,034 --> 00:31:45,469
to Mr. Khrushchev's letter.
Sure.
544
00:31:45,503 --> 00:31:47,971
No public statement. I don't
wanna rub his nose in it.
545
00:31:48,006 --> 00:31:49,607
Christ knows he's gonna have
a hard enough time
546
00:31:49,635 --> 00:31:50,901
keeping his job
after all this.
547
00:31:50,926 --> 00:31:52,221
All right. I'll put
something together.
548
00:31:52,554 --> 00:31:53,889
Bobby?
Yeah?
549
00:31:53,913 --> 00:31:55,881
You tell McNamara
and that General--
550
00:31:55,915 --> 00:31:57,883
alert the entire
chain of command, nobody moves
551
00:31:57,917 --> 00:32:00,385
against the Russians
without my expressed order.
552
00:32:00,420 --> 00:32:03,088
I don't want this whole
goddamned thing to unravel
553
00:32:03,122 --> 00:32:04,688
because some second Lieutenant
didn't get the word.
554
00:32:04,713 --> 00:32:05,913
Absolutely.
555
00:32:07,943 --> 00:32:11,212
Mr. Bundy is
on his way up, Mr. President.
556
00:32:13,115 --> 00:32:15,683
Could you try, uh,
Mrs. Kennedy in Virginia?
557
00:32:15,717 --> 00:32:17,184
Yes, sir.
558
00:32:26,795 --> 00:32:29,530
Line one is ringing, sir.
559
00:33:05,133 --> 00:33:08,135
♪
560
00:33:28,156 --> 00:33:29,924
How's it all going?
561
00:33:29,958 --> 00:33:31,759
Good.
562
00:33:31,793 --> 00:33:34,161
Good. It looks, uh...
563
00:33:34,196 --> 00:33:36,163
Like Khrushchev's
gonna back down.
564
00:33:36,198 --> 00:33:38,632
Good.
565
00:33:43,004 --> 00:33:44,805
When did you...
566
00:33:58,987 --> 00:34:01,889
I'm glad you're here.
567
00:34:15,637 --> 00:34:17,605
How are the kids?
568
00:34:17,639 --> 00:34:20,007
Good.
569
00:34:21,710 --> 00:34:24,424
Jack? You, uh,
you better come down here.
570
00:34:24,449 --> 00:34:25,613
What's the matter?
571
00:34:25,614 --> 00:34:28,382
The Russians shot down
one of our U-2s over Cuba,
572
00:34:28,416 --> 00:34:29,884
killed the pilot.
573
00:34:29,918 --> 00:34:32,219
It appears
to be an act of war.
574
00:34:39,583 --> 00:34:41,284
All right, thank you.
575
00:34:45,059 --> 00:34:47,662
Well, Dobrynin swears
that, uh, Khrushchev insisted
576
00:34:47,665 --> 00:34:49,633
none of our planes
be shot at,
577
00:34:49,667 --> 00:34:51,868
that one of the antiaircraft
batteries never got the word.
578
00:34:51,903 --> 00:34:54,917
You don't believe that crap,
do you, sir?
579
00:34:54,918 --> 00:34:56,315
I know this man.
580
00:34:56,324 --> 00:34:57,925
I've never known him
to be emotional before,
581
00:34:57,954 --> 00:34:59,704
and he was damned near
in tears just now, General.
582
00:34:59,729 --> 00:35:00,929
We based our whole approach
on this campaign
583
00:35:00,957 --> 00:35:02,925
on not pushing Khrushchev
into a corner.
584
00:35:02,959 --> 00:35:04,994
By shooting down that plane,
585
00:35:05,028 --> 00:35:06,175
that's exactly
what he's done to me.
586
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,252
Well, Mr. President,
we can speculate all day,
587
00:35:08,265 --> 00:35:10,833
but the fact of the matter
is that we have a plane down
588
00:35:10,867 --> 00:35:14,103
and a U.S. airman dead.
What are we gonna do about it?
589
00:35:14,137 --> 00:35:16,939
Excuse me. This was just
received from Khrushchev.
590
00:35:18,233 --> 00:35:19,701
"You, President Kennedy,
591
00:35:19,735 --> 00:35:21,696
"have surrounded
the Soviet Union
592
00:35:21,709 --> 00:35:23,044
"with military bases,
593
00:35:23,079 --> 00:35:26,181
"surrounded our allies
with military bases,
594
00:35:26,216 --> 00:35:28,884
"literally dispersed military
bases around the country
595
00:35:28,918 --> 00:35:31,320
"and stationed
your rocket armaments there.
596
00:35:31,354 --> 00:35:34,022
"You are worried about Cuba
because it is a distance
597
00:35:34,057 --> 00:35:36,024
"of 90 miles
from the American coast.
598
00:35:36,059 --> 00:35:38,927
"However,
Turkey is next to us--
599
00:35:38,962 --> 00:35:40,929
"literally at our elbow.
600
00:35:40,964 --> 00:35:43,031
"We agree to remove from Cuba
601
00:35:43,066 --> 00:35:46,235
"those means which you regard
as offensive means.
602
00:35:46,269 --> 00:35:50,839
You will remove your
analogous means from Turkey."
603
00:35:50,874 --> 00:35:52,841
You can't allow Khrushchev
to dictate
604
00:35:52,876 --> 00:35:55,444
how we defend our allies.
Aren't we doing that to him?
605
00:35:55,478 --> 00:35:57,746
That's not the same thing, Dean.
We've had missiles in Turkey for years.
606
00:35:57,780 --> 00:35:59,982
Those Jupiter missiles
are relatively obsolete.
607
00:36:00,016 --> 00:36:01,984
It wouldn't be the worst thing
if we took them out.
608
00:36:02,022 --> 00:36:04,157
No, the General's right.
I can't agree to a quid pro quo
609
00:36:04,220 --> 00:36:06,088
when Khrushchev's got
his foot on my neck.
610
00:36:06,141 --> 00:36:08,776
It's a perception issue.
This seems odd to me, Jack.
611
00:36:09,972 --> 00:36:11,711
I find it hard to believe
that these two letters
612
00:36:11,718 --> 00:36:14,186
came from the same source.
Well, I don't think they did.
613
00:36:14,221 --> 00:36:17,423
I mean, this--this first letter
is all emotion.
614
00:36:18,162 --> 00:36:20,130
You can hear Khrushchev's voice
in this.
615
00:36:20,164 --> 00:36:23,633
That letter, Mac, is cold.
It's dry and bureaucratic.
616
00:36:23,668 --> 00:36:26,202
I think, uh, Khrushchev's
getting, uh, push back
617
00:36:26,237 --> 00:36:27,704
from his foreign ministry
618
00:36:27,738 --> 00:36:28,916
because he didn't run
the blockade.
619
00:36:28,941 --> 00:36:30,141
It doesn't matter.
620
00:36:30,708 --> 00:36:33,576
We have to respond
to this communication.
621
00:36:33,611 --> 00:36:34,911
Why?
622
00:36:34,945 --> 00:36:38,214
I'm sorry, Bobby.
I don't understand the question.
623
00:36:38,249 --> 00:36:40,717
Well, who cares
if we got two letters?
624
00:36:40,751 --> 00:36:43,353
I say we respond
to the first one.
625
00:36:43,387 --> 00:36:44,921
And ignore the second
altogether?
626
00:36:44,955 --> 00:36:46,656
Sure.
627
00:36:46,691 --> 00:36:49,025
I like that very much.
628
00:36:49,060 --> 00:36:51,361
Sir, I've never heard of
simply ignoring a letter
629
00:36:51,395 --> 00:36:53,063
from the Russian
Foreign Ministry.
630
00:36:53,097 --> 00:36:56,066
Well, Dean, we are
the, uh, party of progress.
631
00:36:56,100 --> 00:36:58,068
No, Mac, I think you, uh,
632
00:36:58,102 --> 00:37:00,070
draft a response
to the first letter.
633
00:37:00,104 --> 00:37:02,505
Tell Khrushchev we're very, uh,
encouraged by his attitude.
634
00:37:02,540 --> 00:37:04,507
Be vague.
Yes, sir.
635
00:37:05,774 --> 00:37:07,208
Mr. President,
636
00:37:07,221 --> 00:37:09,956
even if we ignore
this second letter,
637
00:37:09,990 --> 00:37:12,959
that doesn't mean that
the issue about Turkey
638
00:37:12,993 --> 00:37:15,628
is, uh, is gonna go away.
639
00:37:15,662 --> 00:37:18,130
I think Khrushchev is gonna
want something in return
640
00:37:18,165 --> 00:37:20,466
for taking his missiles
out of Cuba.
641
00:37:20,500 --> 00:37:22,201
Bobby, are you sure
642
00:37:22,236 --> 00:37:24,537
Dobrynin has a direct line
with Khrushchev?
643
00:37:24,571 --> 00:37:26,038
Absolutely.
644
00:37:26,073 --> 00:37:27,707
Then you talk to him.
645
00:37:27,741 --> 00:37:30,710
Tell him they've got to get
those missiles out of Cuba now.
646
00:37:30,744 --> 00:37:34,213
If they don't, we will.
647
00:37:34,248 --> 00:37:37,183
Six months from now...
648
00:37:37,217 --> 00:37:39,185
When, uh...
649
00:37:39,219 --> 00:37:42,021
When all this is forgotten,
650
00:37:42,055 --> 00:37:45,424
we'll, uh, we'll agree
to go into, uh,
651
00:37:45,459 --> 00:37:47,426
Turkey in the middle
of the night,
652
00:37:47,461 --> 00:37:48,828
and we'll take
the damn things out ourselves.
653
00:37:48,862 --> 00:37:51,998
Both sides agree
not to go public with this,
654
00:37:52,032 --> 00:37:58,537
but their, uh, their deadline
for this...
655
00:37:58,572 --> 00:38:01,007
Is now.
656
00:38:01,041 --> 00:38:02,975
So what if
he doesn't agree?
657
00:38:03,010 --> 00:38:07,613
Well, they're shooting down
our planes.
658
00:38:07,648 --> 00:38:11,417
We're gonna
start shooting back.
659
00:39:00,801 --> 00:39:03,636
Well... if this
continues to go badly,
660
00:39:03,670 --> 00:39:05,971
I, uh,
I want you and the kids
661
00:39:06,006 --> 00:39:08,908
to move to the shelter
in Maryland.
662
00:39:08,942 --> 00:39:10,643
What about you?
663
00:39:10,677 --> 00:39:13,446
There's a secure area
downstairs.
664
00:39:19,686 --> 00:39:23,622
I'm not leaving you, Jack.
665
00:39:23,657 --> 00:39:27,626
I want to be here
no matter what happens.
666
00:39:41,308 --> 00:39:44,276
♪
667
00:39:48,019 --> 00:39:48,939
Now hear me on this--
668
00:39:48,942 --> 00:39:50,910
I want the attack wing
prepared for wheels up
669
00:39:50,916 --> 00:39:52,884
the second the President
gives his directive.
670
00:39:52,918 --> 00:39:54,385
Yeah, that's right.
671
00:39:54,420 --> 00:39:56,454
Kick the tires
and light the fires.
672
00:39:56,488 --> 00:39:58,456
We've informed members of
the O.E.S. that we're prepared
673
00:39:58,490 --> 00:40:00,124
to commence
military intervention
674
00:40:00,159 --> 00:40:03,127
if we don't hear from Khrushchev
by 2:00 p.m. Washington time.
675
00:40:04,758 --> 00:40:06,810
We're down to 90 minutes.
Let's extend the deadline.
676
00:40:06,957 --> 00:40:08,226
Give Khrushchev
a couple more hours.
677
00:40:08,227 --> 00:40:09,427
Time's up. We can't let
this thing drag on forever,
678
00:40:09,793 --> 00:40:10,797
it only helps him.
679
00:40:10,798 --> 00:40:11,998
That's why I think we should
go in early, sir.
680
00:40:12,369 --> 00:40:13,411
Get a jump on him.
681
00:40:13,412 --> 00:40:14,612
You can't jump
the deadline, Tom!
682
00:40:14,738 --> 00:40:15,706
What the hell
are you talking about?
683
00:40:15,707 --> 00:40:16,407
It's preemptive.
684
00:40:16,408 --> 00:40:18,166
General, we're not going
until we say--
685
00:40:18,167 --> 00:40:20,387
Quiet. Could you all
be quiet, please?
686
00:40:20,389 --> 00:40:20,941
Quiet.
687
00:40:20,946 --> 00:40:23,346
Jack, Khrushchev, uh,
is on the radio in Moscow.
688
00:40:24,688 --> 00:40:27,357
Can you, uh,
repeat that, please?
689
00:40:27,391 --> 00:40:29,693
No, no, I--you--you stay
on the line with me.
690
00:40:29,754 --> 00:40:33,524
I want to know precisely
what he said, word for word.
691
00:40:33,558 --> 00:40:35,125
Uh-huh.
692
00:40:37,062 --> 00:40:39,063
He--he said what?
693
00:40:41,032 --> 00:40:43,467
Did he, uh, did he give
a timeline?
694
00:40:47,405 --> 00:40:49,340
All right.
695
00:40:49,374 --> 00:40:51,542
Thank you.
696
00:40:53,745 --> 00:40:57,214
Jack, he just went on the air
to make sure that we heard,
697
00:40:57,249 --> 00:40:59,283
without any delay,
698
00:40:59,317 --> 00:41:01,552
that he's, uh,
accepting our terms.
699
00:41:01,586 --> 00:41:03,754
He's gonna remove the missiles
from Cuba.
700
00:41:03,788 --> 00:41:05,756
Son of a bitch.
701
00:41:09,794 --> 00:41:13,063
Speech! Speech! Speech!
702
00:41:13,098 --> 00:41:15,099
Speech! Speech!
Speech!
703
00:41:15,133 --> 00:41:16,934
Congratulations.
Beautiful job.
704
00:41:16,968 --> 00:41:19,637
Well, I, uh...
705
00:41:19,671 --> 00:41:20,971
Oh.
706
00:41:21,006 --> 00:41:24,241
I suppose you've, uh, all earned
your pay this week.
707
00:41:24,276 --> 00:41:26,977
Finally.
708
00:41:27,012 --> 00:41:29,380
It was a tremendous effort.
Thank you all.
709
00:41:29,414 --> 00:41:30,881
Yes.
Yes!
710
00:41:30,915 --> 00:41:32,383
Mr. President.
711
00:41:41,026 --> 00:41:42,493
Congratulations.
712
00:41:42,527 --> 00:41:43,827
Yeah.
713
00:41:43,862 --> 00:41:45,329
How does it feel?
714
00:41:45,363 --> 00:41:48,565
Puts you right up there
with Lincoln.
715
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:51,268
Well, maybe tonight
I'll go to the theater.
716
00:41:51,303 --> 00:41:54,138
Well, you go,
I go with you.
717
00:41:54,172 --> 00:41:56,674
Castro's finest.
718
00:41:56,708 --> 00:41:58,842
Thank you, General.
719
00:42:06,051 --> 00:42:09,019
Goodness gracious. I haven't
been home in a week.
720
00:42:09,054 --> 00:42:11,388
Ethel may have had
another baby.
721
00:42:13,558 --> 00:42:16,026
While the quarantineremains in effect,
722
00:42:16,061 --> 00:42:18,896
we are hopefulthat adequate procedures
723
00:42:18,930 --> 00:42:20,564
can be developed
724
00:42:20,598 --> 00:42:24,501
for international inspectionof Cuba-bound cargos.
725
00:42:24,536 --> 00:42:26,503
Progress is now being made
726
00:42:26,538 --> 00:42:29,707
for the restoration of peacein the Caribbean.
727
00:42:29,741 --> 00:42:32,343
And it is our firm hopeand purpose
728
00:42:32,377 --> 00:42:35,279
that this progressshall go forward,
729
00:42:35,313 --> 00:42:37,414
not only for this time
730
00:42:37,449 --> 00:42:39,516
but for all time.
731
00:42:39,551 --> 00:42:41,485
What's he talking about?
732
00:42:41,519 --> 00:42:45,656
Your daddy
just saved the world.
