Sir, there's someone trying
to persuade him it's a trick.

1:03:05
Theywant him
to strike back at once.

1:03:09
Soviet airspace has still not
been violated, Mr. President.

1:03:14
But ifit is, we will be forced
to shoot down your bombers.

1:03:18
And then we will come to full alert
with all our missiles and planes.

1:03:22
I understand that. I hopeyou're able
to shoot down our bombers.

1:03:27
But I urgeyou not to take any steps
that cannot be recalled.

1:03:33
You know we must
protect ourselves.

1:03:35
You also know that ifyou
launch missiles, we must do the same.

1:03:38
Ifthat happens, there'll be
very little left ofthe world.

1:03:44
I understand.
1:03:45
Is there anything more
you wish to say?

1:03:47
IfI may make a suggestion...
1:03:50
I will arrange to open
a conference line...

1:03:52
between our headquarters
in Omaha...

1:03:54
and your similar officials
in the Soviet Union.

1:03:57
We will do all we can
to helpyou.

1:04:02
We do not need your help.
1:04:03
We are perfectly capable
ofdefending our country.

1:04:07
As you wish, but I must tell you
what my people tell me.

1:04:11
No matterwhatyou do...
1:04:13
at least one ofthe planes
will get through to the target.

1:04:18
What is the target?
1:04:19
Moscow.
1:04:23
I'll call you backwhen I see
what our fighters do.
