:05:02
What do you do?
:05:08
You run the blockade
:05:11
They'll run the blockade
:05:12
Which is what they appear to
be preparing to do, Mr. President
:05:16
We're tracking 26 ships
inbound for Cuba
:05:19
They show no sign of changing course
:05:21
The closest ships
the Gagarin and the Kimovsk
:05:24
will make the quarantine line
by this time tomorrow
:05:26
Admiral Anderson
if the ships do not stop
:05:30
exactly what are
our rules of engagement?
:05:32
Russian- speaking personnel
have been transferred to our ships
:05:36
When the quarantine
takes place in the morning
:05:38
our ships will attempt radio contact
with approaching vessels
:05:42
They'll be ordered to reduce speed
and stand by for inspection
:05:46
An inspection team will then
board and search the vessel
:05:49
If weapons are found, the ship will be
ordered out of the quarantine area
:05:52
If they refuse
:05:54
they'll be towed into the nearest port
:05:56
What if the ship doesn't stop
for inspection or want to be towed?
:05:59
We fire a warning shot
across their bow
:06:01
And what happens
if the ship ignores the warning shot?
:06:04
Wen then fire at its rudder
:06:07
disable it
and carry on our inspection
:06:08
There will be no shooting
without my explicit orders
:06:12
Is that understood?
:06:13
Yes sir
:06:15
Well, Admiral
looks like it's up to the navy
:06:17
The navy won't let you down, sir
:06:19
There is one other thing
Mr. President
:06:21
We're commencing low-level photography
runs over Cuba this morning
:06:24
It'll be more detailed
than the U-2 photography
:06:27
We'll firm up our estimates
of the missiles' readiness
:06:31
and develop target packages for strikes
if you should order them, sir
:06:34
To protect our pilots
:06:35
we're prepared to retaliate
against any SAM site
:06:38
or anti-aircraft battery
that may open fire
:06:40
We have a flight of Thunderchiefs
that'll be able to
:06:42
respond within minutes
to any attacks on our planes
:06:54
I've got a bad feeling about
what's going on in there
:06:55
In the morning
:06:57
I'm taking charge of the blockade
from the situation room
:06:59
And McNamara is gonna set up shop
in the flag plot at the Pentagon
