: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
:08:01
and will force us to start shooting
:08:03
They want a war
:08:09
and they're arranging thing to get one
:08:15
How does a man get to a place
:08:17
where he can say
"Throw those lives away" so easily?

:08:22
Maybe it's harder for them
to say than they let on

:08:23
but at the very least
:08:24
they believe it's in our best interest
:08:27
And you know what?
:08:30
At the end of the day they may well
:08:32
end up being right
:08:39
I'll tell you one thing
:08:40
We have to triple-check
:08:42
everything the Chiefs say to us
with the guys that actually do it

:08:47
And nobody's to know about this
:08:48
but Bobby
:08:49
I need redundant control over
what happens out there

:08:52
If things aren't advertised
:08:53
then you are gonna make sure
they come out the way I want

:08:54
Starting with
this low-level flight thing

:08:58
That's gonna be tough
