Afteryou've successfully
completed trials...

:07:14
on the mechanical, propulsion
and navigation systems...

:07:17
in the Bering Sea...
:07:19
you'll proceed beneath the ice
to the launch area here...

:07:24
and test-fire the missile.
:07:32
My orders were to prepare K-1 9 for sea
trials, and they'll begin on schedule.

:07:36
But until the trials are complete...
:07:40
to undertake an exercise of this scope...
:07:43
may be, with respect, premature.
:07:56
There is no doubt in my mind...
:07:59
that K-1 9 is ready to fulfill her mission.
:08:01
Operation Arctic Circle
is no mere exercise.

:08:05
What is to stop the Americans
from destroying Moscow and Leningrad?

:08:10
Only one thing.
:08:13
A certain knowledge...
:08:16
of destruction in return.
:08:20
K-1 9 is that knowledge.
:08:24
But not until Kennedy has been told
by his own spy planes that we have it...

:08:30
and it works.
:08:33
I promised Comrade Khrushchev...
:08:36
that the American president will receive
his message before the end of the month.

:08:40
Comrade Marshall...
:08:41
perhaps Captain Polenin might--
:08:46
Captain Polenin put his boat
and his men before the party.

:08:50
He will be underyour command.
:08:56
That's all there is to it.
