1:37:01
The right move here is to move on
1:37:05
Marcula!
1:37:07
This is United States Destroyer
Joseph P. Kennedy!
1:37:15
This is point
at which we are concemed...
1:37:17
that there might be shooting
among the ships at sea
1:37:21
with the possibility that invasion
might have to be undertaken
1:37:24
to assure that
those bases are eliminated
1:37:28
If invasion is undertaken
the Russians have said
1:37:31
that they would
retaliate with rocket fire
1:37:35
We have said
if there's rocket fire from Cuba
1:37:36
we will retaliate
And there goes the whole ballgame
1:37:41
Kenny
1:37:42
What's this?
1:37:44
Can anyone just walk in here now?
1:37:46
Ken, don't worry
I'm not here to do an interview
1:37:48
If you're looking for a cup of sugar
John, you got the wrong door
1:37:50
Kenny
1:37:51
we need to see the President
1:37:53
Something's happened
1:37:57
I have lunch with him
Maybe once a month
1:38:00
Way the talks, he acts like
he knows Kruschev personally
1:38:02
but he's never elaborated
1:38:05
I've used him as a source
in a couple of stories
1:38:08
The FBI has identified
this Alexander Fomin as the...
1:38:13
Soviet Rezident, the KGB equivalent
of one of our station chiefs
1:38:16
He's their highest ranking spy
in this country
1:38:19
And he knows John's a friend of mine
1:38:20
All the trademarks of
a back-channel overture
1:38:23
Yeah. Some back channel
1:38:26
ABC News guy
My goddamn next-door neighbor
1:38:31
So they'll remove the missiles
1:38:34
And we'll pledge not to
invade Cuba or de-stabilize Castro
1:38:37
or assist anyone who plans on doing so
1:38:43
I think this may be
our first real message from Kruschev
1:38:46
The alternative, Mr. President
1:38:48
is that is this could be a trap
1:38:51
And how is that exactly?
1:38:53
Dangle a settlement
1:38:55
tie us down in negotiations
we come up short
1:38:58
Why else would they
approach us this way?
