: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
:07:02
He'll keep an eye on things there
:07:02
Good
:07:03
You get armed boarders
climbing on the Soviet ships
:07:05
with shots being fired across bows
:07:07
What about these low-level flights?
:07:09
We need the flights
:07:10
They're starting in what?
:07:10
An hour
:07:12
Do you realize what you're in for?
:07:14
We need the flights
:07:16
because the minute that
first missile becomes operational
:07:17
we gotta go in there and destroy them
:07:18
Fair enough. But Castro's on alert
:07:20
and we're flying attack planes
over their sites on the deck
:07:25
There's no way for them to know
we're carrying cameras, not bombs
:07:28
They're going to be shot at
:07:29
plain and simple
:07:32
I'm your political advisor
:07:35
I'm giving you a political analysis
:07:38
This is a set-up
:07:41
The Chiefs want to go in
:07:43
They need to redeem themselves
for the Bay of Pigs
:07:46
They gotta go in this time
and do it right
:07:49
I'm gonna protect those pilots
:07:53
They're boxing us in
with these rules of engagement
:07:56
If you agree and
one of our planes gets knocked down
:07:57
or one of the ships
won't stop fro inspection
:07:59
the Chiefs will have us by the balls
