Thirteen Days [720p] part 1/10

Hey!

What the- What the? Who's that?

You're dead. Who grabbed me? Watch out!

Who grabbed me? Who grabbed me?

Honey, you're going to be late.

What'd you grab me for?

Mom, I can't find my shoes for school!

They're under the couch. Sit down. Yeah.

Dad, will you sign my permission slip for tomorrow?

Give it to your mother.

Your mother's arms are full. You got time for pancakes?

Nope. Give us another one Dad.

Secretary of Defense. Dean Rusk. Wrong.

And you get to wax my car. Rusk is State, moron.

It's Robert McNamara. Attorney General. Too easy.

Yeah, it's Bobby Kennedy.

All right, you wise guys. Assistant Secretary of State for Latin America.

That's too hard. Wait a minute.

This isn't a permission slip!

This is your report card! Have you seen these grades?

No. All right.

Gotta go. Be good.

You- I'm talking to you later.

Morning, Evelyn. Hi, Ken. Ooh, those candies are for the kids. Uh huh.

Morning, Floyd. Morning, Mr. O'Donnell.

Morning, Jackie. Hi, Kenny. Want a schedule? No.

Why'd you cross all my people off the list?

Because you don't have anybody on it who means anything.

No votes there. There's no money. It's a party, Kenny.

And the one thing we both can be sure of is that you don't know how to have a party.

Well, party to you, politics to me. So, who do you want? For real.

Everyone on my list. I don't want to spend an entire evening pretending that your votes

and money are more interesting than they really are. And I want my kids to stop eating the candy

in the Oval office. That's not me. Then who is it? I don't rat on my friends.

Well, I'm going to take this whole list thing up with your friend.

Are you trying to go around me? Go around you, over you, through you, what ever it takes.

You're starting to bug me. Good. I'll get back to you.

Top of the morning Mr. President.

Morning, Kenny. Just ran into your wife.

Want to talk about this party? No.

You see Homer Capehart's tirade today? I did.

I don't see why he needs to invent an issue. He's got his election sewn up.

Even so we should still go out for Bobby. It's good groundwork for us in '64.

Look into that, uh...

That Vietnam thing. What, the 2 planes that went down? Yeah.

It didn't make it before press time.

I haven't taken a look at the West Coast papers yet, but I doubt we'll see anything Until tomorrow.

I was eating that.

No you weren't. I was.

No you weren't. I was.

I was, bastard.

So, what do we got today? Today.

That's it. That's the one we're looking for.

I need to see the President Kenny.

All right. 2:30 to 2:45 or 4:30 to 5:00. Take your pick.

No, I need to see him now, Ken.

Then go on up. I'll let him know you're coming.

Coffee? Yeah.

That's not what you said. What'd I say? Tell me what I said. That's not what.

That's not what- Listen to me you worthless piece of shit! Now you will put

Daley's man on the circuit, and you'll do it today!

You owe your goddamn job to this administration.

Yeah, I can uh- I can hear how grateful you are,

but there's a word you need to learn. It's the only word in politics.

It's called loyalty. Loyalty! Now, any part of this you don't understand?

Good.

What?

This isn't the blessed order of St. Mary the Meek.

Look, you better come in here.

What was it you were saying to me the other day about Cuba? It wasn't important?

Not as far as the election goes. Mac, let's uh...

Can I see that for a second please. Thank you.

Here Ken, you used to look down at a bomb site for a living.

Just ignore the labels. What does that look like to you?

I don't know. What is it?

On Sunday morning, one of our U-2s took these pictures. The Soviets are putting

medium-range ballistic missiles into Cuba.

They appear to be the SS-4, range of 1000 miles, 3-megaton nuclear warheads.

Seen here in this year's May Day Parade in Red Square.

Jesus Christ in heaven.

White House operator.

White House operator. Yeah, Mr. O'Donnell, please for Secretary McNamara.

Go ahead please.

White House operator.

I've got the President for the Attorney General. Go ahead please.

What the crap is going on today?

That's right. That's right, the principals are assembling in an hour.

We'll see you then. Where's Bobby?

He should be here any minute. Well, good.

Good.

Where the hell are you?

We're in here.

Jesus Christ, guys. What the hell is Khrushchev thinking?

Do you have any indication of this? From your KGB pal Bolshakov? I mean any possible

warning, sense of motivation? Complete snow job.

And then we went out and told the country they weren't putting missiles into Cuba.

Jesus, I...

I feel like we caught the Jap carrier steaming for Pearl Harbor.

Good morning, gentlemen. Good morning Mr. President.

Mr. Secretary. Mr. President.

Bob, I'll bet you had a late night. Sleep is for the weak Mr. President.

Max. Mr. President.

The CIA's been notified.

McCone's on his way back from the West Coast. He's been burying his step-son.

General Carter is here though.

Ted. Kenny.

Ok.

Let's have it.

Arthur?

Gentlemen, as most of you now know a U-2 over Cuba Sunday morning

took a series of disturbing photographs. Our analysis at NPIC indicates that the

Soviet Union has followed up its conventional weapons buildup in Cuba

with the introduction of surface to surface medium-range ballistic missiles,

or MRBMs. Our official estimate at this time is that this missile system is the SS-4 Sandal.

We do not believe that the missiles are as yet operational.

Ironbark reports that the SS-4 can deliver a 3-megaton nuclear weapon 1000 miles.

So far, we've identified 32 missiles serviced by about 3,400 men, undoubtedly all Soviet personnel.

Our cities and military installations in the Southeast as far north as Washington, D.C.

Are in range of these weapons and in the event of a launch would have only 5 minutes of warning.

5 minutes, gentlemen. In those 5 minutes, they could kill 80 million Americans.
