WEBVTT - Episode 12: Fodor's Guide to Havana, Chapter 2 0:00:07.640 --> 0:00:10.799 Minister Govera, so good to have you in Moscow. 0:00:11.560 --> 0:00:15.000 Chairman Krusechev, it is in honor. Please call me j 0:00:16.000 --> 0:00:18.120 All of Kuba appreciates the invitation. 0:00:18.480 --> 0:00:23.759 Please heavy seat. I wanted to offer my personal congratulations 0:00:23.760 --> 0:00:27.040 on defeating the Americans in the Bay of Pigs. It 0:00:27.120 --> 0:00:29.840 did a great deal for our casts and offered the 0:00:29.880 --> 0:00:31.280 world necessary hope. 0:00:31.760 --> 0:00:35.040 We are aligned in the same mission. Chairman, so I 0:00:35.080 --> 0:00:37.320 speak for the people when I ask for your help. 0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:41.400 Soviet support is necessary to help protect Kuba from further 0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:45.199 American invasions. I worry without your support we will not 0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:46.680 be so fortunate next time. 0:00:47.200 --> 0:00:51.400 Then rest easy, comrade. With Soviet weapons and Cuban courage, 0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:55.440 the Americans wouldn't dare another attack. We have prepared the 0:00:55.560 --> 0:01:01.160 arms agreement between our countries for your signature. It's all here, 0:01:01.760 --> 0:01:06.840 sixty thousand troops, medium and intermediate range ballistic missiles and 0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:08.400 thermonuclear warheads. 0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:14.520 With these warheads, the Americans will finally fear us. Yes, German, 0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:17.800 I suggest we announce this agreement to the world all 0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:20.800 the press conference and issue a public warning to the 0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:24.280 United States and the world that communism is protected in 0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:26.720 the Western hemisphere and it will survive. 0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:31.720 While certainly a worthy battle cry, I fear if we 0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:35.720 announce our union prematurely, the United States will have no 0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:40.679 choice but to act No. Instead, we should maintain total 0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:44.560 secrecy until the missiles are properly deployed and plans put 0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:48.440 in place before revealing the true nature of our partnership. 0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:52.240 But what if they discover the missiles and mission and 0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:53.400 attack us in turn? 0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:56.600 You have my word, the Soviet Union will come to 0:01:56.680 --> 0:02:00.680 Cuba's aid if that were to occur. But Kennedy boy 0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:03.800 has proven to be weak. You will only actively feels 0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:07.240 you must. That's why keeping it a secret is the 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:08.240 best course of action. 0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:13.919 Understood, We keep it a secret until we are ready. Then, 0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:16.280 if the Americans think they can squash us like a bug, 0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:19.160 millions will taste our deadly sting. 0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:27.640 How far can your camera lens reach? 0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:32.520 Pretty far? That's another OR twelve with the NU extract 0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:33.800 to it an R twelve. 0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:37.519 It's a single stage, road transportable, surface launch, storable, liquid 0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:40.720 propellant fueled missile that can deliver a megaton class nuclear 0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:42.480 weapon over twelve hundred miles away. 0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:44.360 Don't get too excited about it. 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:49.720 Sorry, It's like seeing King Kong in person. Yep, and 0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:53.600 that's another R fourteen the range of twenty eight hundred miles. 0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:57.639 My god, and according to my father's maps, the Soviets 0:02:57.680 --> 0:03:01.000 are building nine more of these sites. Look see here. 0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:03.959 These symbols must designate the missile type and payload. 0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:09.080 That means six sites for medium range missiles and three 0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:12.840 for intermediate range ballistic missiles. That's enough to turn the 0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:15.280 entire United States into a nuclear wasteland. 0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:18.480 The let's finish taking these photos. Go get Flosta and 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:19.720 get the hell off this island. 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:25.680 You're right, Okay, that's enough, I got it. Let's go, 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:29.280 But I have to meet Olek first. Why his intel 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:32.200 was right, which means his life is in danger. We 0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:33.440 have to get him out with us. 0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:35.560 Okay, do you know where to find him? 0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:35.960 Yes. 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:38.080 The Necropolis. 0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:44.839 The Cemetery of Christobal Cologne, also known as the Necropolis, 0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:48.360 was founded in eighteen seventy six in the Vedado neighborhood 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:53.160 of Havana, Cuba. Named for Christopher Columbus, the cemetery is 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:57.080 famous for its elaborately sculpted memorials and is estimated to 0:03:57.120 --> 0:04:01.160 have more than five hundred major mausoleums in historical and 0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:04.840 architectural terms, The necropolis is one of the most important 0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:09.360 cemeteries in the world and especially in Latin America. When 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:13.480 first established as a Catholic cemetery, plots were originally assigned 0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:16.440 according to social class, and soon became a means for 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:20.880 patrician families to display their wealth and power, with elaborate 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:25.600 tombs and mausoleums constructed by famous nineteenth and twentieth century artists. 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:29.960 The north main entrance alone is a site to behold, 0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:33.080 as it is marked by a massive gateway decorated with 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:37.960 biblical reliefs and topped by a marble sculpture. The cemetery 0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:41.720 even has something for the sports enthusiast, containing not one, 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:45.440 but two monuments to baseball players from the Cuban League, 0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:47.360 the nation's favorite sport. 0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:53.760 There is something so creepy about cemeteries at night, especially 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:56.159 this elaborate and huge. 0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:59.640 We could get lost wandering around, fall into a crypt. 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:01.960 Getting lost. That's hard to imagine. 0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:06.120 Where are we meeting oleg We're. 0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:07.760 Meeting him by the Cuban Baseball monument. 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:10.600 Which one, but there are two monuments in the cemetery. 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:12.880 They sure love their baseball in Cuba. 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:15.560 It's the one for the Hall of Famers. I think 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:18.599 Oleg enjoys the irony of it being the American pastime. 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:22.640 Hum a spy with a sense of humor. You know, 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:26.679 the real irony is that many Cuban players are better 0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:30.919 than American major leaguers. Jose Mendez once pitched twenty five 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:35.640 consecutive scoreless innings in three straight appearances against the Cincinnati Reds. 0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:37.960 You're just a fountain of fun facts, aren't you? 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:42.520 Sorry? Just a baseball fan. Oh there it is up. 0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:58.159 Ahead, Hello again, Did you find what you were looking for? 0:05:58.240 --> 0:05:58.680 Oleg? 0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:03.160 We confirm your intel. They have short and intermediate range 0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:05.560 missiles armed with thermonuclear warheads. 0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:09.480 I've been told Khrushchiev approved the mission himself, though he 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:12.600 will never admit it. He knew America had the upper hand, 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:15.599 as they could launch missiles from Turkey and Italy to 0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:18.960 destroy the USSR before he had time to react. 0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:22.119 Well, with these missiles, he now has the upper hand. 0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:26.320 Correct. If the United States chooses to launch a nuclear 0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:29.520 weapon against the Soviet Union, there would be time for 0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:31.360 a retaliatory nuclear. 0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:35.320 Strike mutually assured destruction, and all that's left of the 0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:36.960 world has charred ashes. 0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:40.080 Now you see why I had to get the information out. 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:42.080 Which is also why we need to get you out 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:44.360 with us. If they find out what you've done, your 0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:45.280 life is in danger. 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:45.880 Ssh. 0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:47.600 Do you hear that? 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:49.000 What those are? 0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:50.160 Corridors? 0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:51.200 Shit? 0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:54.159 I see flashlights there at the edge of the cemetery. 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:56.400 You should go now. 0:06:56.880 --> 0:06:59.320 It's neither of that. They'll kill you if they. 0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:01.920 Catch you, it will all I've been for nothing better 0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:03.039 than me than millions. 0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:03.320 Go. 0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:08.880 Thank you, aleg, good luck. I surrender. 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:12.440 I am an armed I am an arm too long? 0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:19.360 Stop run stop, stop for me. 0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:25.800 Do you know where you're going? 0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:30.520 I have an idea gene. The design of the cemetery 0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:33.400 is set along a cross, and on each axis there 0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:36.080 is another cross formation in the center, so that's five 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:38.920 crosses in total. The two main avenues give rise to 0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:42.320 the central cross. Each of the four resulting spaces, called barracks, 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:45.240 are subdivided in turn by two other streets that intersect 0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:46.160 at right angles. 0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:46.640 Stop. 0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:50.480 It's so very interesting. 0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:51.400 That has to help us. 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:55.640 The cemetery is laid out roughly on a north south asis, 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:58.600 parallel to the Amandaris River and against the street grid 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:01.320 of Vedado. If we can you south, we should enter 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:04.720 by the riverside exit and therefore freedom Oil. 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:16.440 We're right, I see them head, We're out. I think 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:18.880 we've lost them. 0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:21.160 Now let's go get Glosta and get off this island. 0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:23.880 We better hurry. Oh, it won't give us up right away. 0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:25.760 But it's only a matter of time before they learn 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:27.280 everything they want to know from. 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:45.160 Him, jam and Krushchev. 0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:48.800 I hate the field report on operation and the deer proceeds. 0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:51.680 If Marshall serge and in. 0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:56.120 July missile construction specialists under the guise of machine operators, 0:08:56.200 --> 0:09:01.920 irrigation specialists and agricultural specialists first or in Cuba. Since then, 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:05.079 a total of forty three thousand troops have been transported 0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:08.400 in to establish and defend the launch sites and install 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:11.680 s seventy five Divina surface to air missiles at eight 0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:15.280 different locations. To shield the ballistic missiles from potential attack 0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:20.319 from the United States, All launch sites have been concealed 0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:24.360 and camouflaged by pond trees. But I unfortunately must report 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:28.559 there has been an intelligence leak. The KGB officer has 0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:32.360 been arrested conducting espionage and confessed to his crimes, but 0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:34.800 not before critical information was compromised. 0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:37.240 What was the KGB agent's. 0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:39.840 Name Oleg Vladimirvitch Penkowsky. 0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:45.199 Then we must prepare for an American response, place your 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:48.199 men on high alert, and prepare weapons for final deployment. 0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:49.360 Yes, sir. 0:09:56.720 --> 0:10:01.679 Poasa, we're back there you are. 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:05.560 I've been worried sick. Radio Havana, Cuba just announced the 0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:08.320 military has been put on alert of Maxima, which can't 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:08.720 be good. 0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:12.280 What did you find in case they're listening. 0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:16.240 It's worse than we imagined. There's enough nuclear weapons on 0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:18.080 the island to obliterate America. 0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:20.640 Did you get the proof we need? I have photos 0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:23.600 and locations. Now we need to get this evidence to 0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:25.320 the CIA as soon as possible and. 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:26.360 Can get the hell out of here. 0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:31.319 Expecting someone no fit. 0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:34.680 Maybe they were listening. Then you're fowar door. 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:41.679 It's me Javier, Oh, Javier, I'm glad to see you. 0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:45.199 I wish I came with better news. I just receive 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:48.040 a call that Castro is taking over the Nazional Hotel 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:52.680 as his military headquarters. Right now, Yes, and media demente. 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:54.760 And do you know why did something happen? 0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:57.480 I don't know, but as I told you, they have 0:10:57.559 --> 0:10:59.920 been constructing tunnels and adding guns to the coast of 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:03.520 battery outside the hotel for months though, so Castro must 0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:05.000 be preparing for something big. 0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:05.800 He's going to. 0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:08.679 Be transferring hundreds of soldiers in personnel to the hotel, 0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:10.199 will be surrounded. 0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:11.679 How are we going to get out of here? 0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:15.840 Javier, go back a second. You said he was building tunnels. 0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:19.280 See miles of them under the hotel and along the coast. 0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:25.560 That's it, of course, the tunnels. Okay, my father's maps, 0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:30.040 see these trails were missile sites, but the coastal tunnels 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:33.199 he drew were for Castro's defensive positions beneath the hotel. 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:36.040 He plans on using the guns above to defend the 0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:39.720 coast from invasion, and the tunnels below as the headquarters 0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:41.920 to ride out any potential nuclear attack. 0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:44.040 My god, I think you're right. 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:47.079 He's turning this hotel into a military installation. 0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:49.280 Then we need to get out of here right now. 0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:52.320 We'll never make it to our extraction team or Guantanamo. 0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:54.920 But I have a fishing boat hidden in a cove 0:11:55.000 --> 0:11:58.080 below the hotel as an emergency plan. B. If we 0:11:58.080 --> 0:11:59.800 can make it to the boat, we can take it 0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:01.360 the ninety miles to Miami. 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:03.240 How we can't just. 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:04.960 Walk out of the lobby, not anymore. 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:09.480 You're right, but we could take these tunnels Castro's tunnels exactly. 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:12.720 We can use their own pathfinder maps against them. If 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:15.839 I remember correctly, one should lead out just below the 0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:17.000 Malesson that's. 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:18.640 Only a couple hundred yards from the boat. 0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:19.600 Then let's do it. 0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:23.320 Javier, come with us. It's not safe for you here anymore. 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:25.800 Yes, we have room for one more on the boat. 0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:29.480 Which as Grassis, but I cannot leave.

But I promise you can trust my discretion. 0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:38.520 A good hotel manager respects his guest privacy. 0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:40.120 Thank you Haveavier. 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:44.079 I hope to see you all again soon under better circumstances. 0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:46.040 We hope the same.

Thank you, senor. 0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:18.560 No, thank you have here here. Put some ice on it. 0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:19.760 We should get a move on. 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:22.920 Yes, see go the tunnel access is in the basement. 0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:25.040 I will hold them off. Okay, come on. 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:30.840 This way to the service stairs. 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:41.840 The tunnel is over here. 0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:46.880 It looks freshly dug and into the sewers. 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:47.560 Wonderful. 0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:50.000 There might be soldiers down there, so let's be quiet 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:51.000 and stick together. 0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:54.160 This tunnel should take us through the water treatment plant 0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:55.280 and out toward the coast. 0:13:55.400 --> 0:14:05.280 Lead the way. 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:09.040 This place has more tunnels than an ant hill. 0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:11.600 And every inch lined and powered. 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:16.600 Castro and his whole army could stay down here left 0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:17.200 of this juncture. 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:25.160 Cots back you in the shadows. Don't make a sound. 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:33.840 That was close? 0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:36.160 How much further? 0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:47.360 Just around this corner, then let's move it. 0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:51.680 I have never been happier to see the ocean and 0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:52.800 smell fresh air. 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:54.440 Great work leading us out, Jeane. 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:55.760 You should thank my father. 0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:57.640 I do. Now follow me. 0:14:57.880 --> 0:15:04.800 The boat is this way here behind the rocks. 0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:12.440 What well, it's not the Queen Mary, but it has 0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:12.840 a motor. 0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:15.680 As long as it's not the Titanic. Come on, help 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:16.240 me get it in. 0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:16.760 The water. 0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:23.720 Climb in, I'll push it off. 0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:32.680 Didn't you think that's for us. 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:35.240 Let's not stick around to find out. Start rowing. 0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:45.840 I'll get the motor. They've turned on the such lights. 0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:50.880 Got it. Hold on, we just have to make a 0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:52.160 pass that out clumping. 0:15:51.840 --> 0:16:07.320 Before being spotted too late. Get down. Well, I'm not 0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:09.640 going to make it go faster. 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:11.360 We don't have to make it to Miami. 0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:12.680 Just half that out cropping. 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:15.760 The USS Independence is anchored on the other side, two 0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:16.280 miles out. 0:16:16.600 --> 0:16:18.640 They fire anywhere close and it would be an active war. 0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:19.520 Good floor. 0:16:22.440 --> 0:16:26.400 Where almost Jeane, there's a flare on the floor below. 0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:28.200 You fire it in the direction of. 0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:30.760 That night got it? Fire away? 0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:36.160 Come on, sailors. 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:40.560 Hello, Hello, come, they see us? Who is saved? 0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:14.080 Good evening, my fellow citizens. This government has promised has 0:17:14.160 --> 0:17:18.560 maintained the closest surveillance of the Soviet military build up 0:17:19.119 --> 0:17:24.080 on the island of Cuba. Within the past week, unmistakable 0:17:24.119 --> 0:17:28.080 evidence has established the fact that a series of offensive 0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:33.280 missile sites is now in preparation on that imprisoned island. 0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:38.120 The purpose of these bases can be none other than 0:17:38.160 --> 0:17:42.600 to provide a nuclear strike capability against the Western hemisphere. 0:17:43.560 --> 0:17:47.360 Each of these missile sites is capable of striking Washington, 0:17:47.400 --> 0:17:51.960 d C. The Panama Canal, Cape Canaveral, Mexico City, or 0:17:52.000 --> 0:17:55.040 any other city in the southeastern part of the United States, 0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:59.119 in Central America, or in the Caribbean area. By the 0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:02.880 presence of these laws, large long range and clearly offensive 0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:07.320 weapons of sudden mass destruction constitutes an explicit threat to 0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:11.680 the peace and security of all the Americans. It shall 0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:14.760 be the policy of this nation to regard any nuclear 0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:17.919 missile launch from Cuba against any nation in the Western 0:18:17.960 --> 0:18:21.399 hemisphere as an attack by the Soviet Union on the 0:18:21.480 --> 0:18:26.480 United States, requiring a full retiratory response upon the Soviet Union. 0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:31.560 My fellow citizens, let no one doubt that this is 0:18:31.600 --> 0:18:35.520 a difficult and dangerous effort on which we have set out. 0:18:36.520 --> 0:18:38.640 The path we have chosen for the present is full 0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:42.760 of hazards, as all paths are. The cost of freedom 0:18:42.800 --> 0:18:47.439 is always high, but Americans have always paid it. And 0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:50.520 one path we shall never choose, and that is the 0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:55.520 path of surrender or submission. Our goal is not the 0:18:55.600 --> 0:19:00.000 victory of might, but the vindication of right, not pace 0:19:00.280 --> 0:19:04.720 at the expense of freedom, but both peace and freedom. 0:19:04.760 --> 0:19:08.000 Here in this hemisphere, and we hope around the world, 0:19:08.920 --> 0:19:13.600 God willing that goal will be achieved. Thank you and 0:19:13.680 --> 0:19:14.080 good night. 0:19:16.280 --> 0:19:20.879 Huh. Great speech. Let's hope the right people were. 0:19:20.760 --> 0:19:24.399 Listening and that they're smart enough to avoid mutually a 0:19:24.520 --> 0:19:25.399 sure destruction. 0:19:26.280 --> 0:19:27.600 What a horrible phrase. 0:19:28.680 --> 0:19:32.200 Hopefully the blockade and international outcry created by the surveillance 0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:40.280 footage will be enough for cooler heads to prevail. Rebecca, 0:19:40.720 --> 0:19:41.160 come in. 0:19:41.680 --> 0:19:44.600 Hello, Rebecca, I see your photos made it into the 0:19:44.600 --> 0:19:45.520 President's hands. 0:19:45.640 --> 0:19:47.040 Things are moving fast. 0:19:47.480 --> 0:19:50.560 Everyone's working overtime. Do you know how much longer we'll 0:19:50.600 --> 0:19:53.800 be staying here in Miami? Not much longer, but it 0:19:53.880 --> 0:19:55.640 is as safe as any place right now. 0:19:55.760 --> 0:19:58.280 Don't tell me they're planning another invasion. What have you 0:19:58.359 --> 0:20:00.000 learned with the photos? 0:19:59.840 --> 0:20:00.639 A and intel? 0:20:00.760 --> 0:20:03.480 The CIA has been able to determine that the Soviets 0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:08.040 have grossly exaggerated their nuclear stockpile. The US still has 0:20:08.119 --> 0:20:09.440 the strategic advantage. 0:20:10.160 --> 0:20:13.280 You mean we can nuke them more and that's supposed 0:20:13.320 --> 0:20:14.280 to make us feel better. 0:20:14.600 --> 0:20:18.520 No, but it does mean JFK isn't going to order 0:20:18.560 --> 0:20:21.720 an immediate invasion, and he's going instead to continue to 0:20:21.840 --> 0:20:24.440 use both military and diplomatic pressure. 0:20:25.560 --> 0:20:27.760 And after the speech, he just gave. There should be 0:20:27.760 --> 0:20:31.920 a global outcry sounds promising. Any word on. 0:20:31.880 --> 0:20:36.840 Oleg Unfortunately, we've heard through the channels that after he 0:20:36.960 --> 0:20:41.600 was captured, he was tortured and executed. 0:20:41.840 --> 0:20:43.960 Oh no, that's horrible. 0:20:45.320 --> 0:20:49.840 He was a true hero. He sacrificed himself to protect millions. 0:20:49.440 --> 0:20:53.800 And his sacrifice won't be forgotten. I will make sure 0:20:53.840 --> 0:20:57.480 of that. But I do have better news about another 0:20:57.520 --> 0:21:00.879 hero we met along the way. Who Why don't you 0:21:00.880 --> 0:21:03.399 give this number a call and I'll see you both. 0:21:03.320 --> 0:21:04.040 Later for dinner. 0:21:05.160 --> 0:21:06.959 All right? Thanks? 0:21:07.400 --> 0:21:11.560 Oh and one more thing, Jean, that last pathfinder map 0:21:11.600 --> 0:21:15.040 from your father. We believe the trail is located in 0:21:15.080 --> 0:21:18.560 the mountains near Cambodia. The Viet conger using it to 0:21:18.640 --> 0:21:21.960 move weapons and soldiers. We could use your eyes on 0:21:22.000 --> 0:21:24.879 it when you have a chance. They're calling it the 0:21:25.040 --> 0:21:26.240 Ho Chi Minh Trail. 0:21:27.000 --> 0:21:27.560 You got it. 0:21:28.560 --> 0:21:29.120 See you later. 0:21:43.840 --> 0:21:47.359 Hello, bobosh Baton tackle Jivago. 0:21:48.160 --> 0:21:51.280 Is that you, Jean, Jean. 0:21:51.800 --> 0:21:55.080 It's so good to hear your voice, my boy. The 0:21:55.160 --> 0:22:00.320 name is Babash now, by the way, Stanley Barbash, I'm 0:22:00.800 --> 0:22:01.879 still getting used to it. 0:22:03.160 --> 0:22:06.400 Then, how have you been, stan They placed. 0:22:06.080 --> 0:22:09.760 Us in a small town on the Pacific coast, like 0:22:09.960 --> 0:22:13.200 smelling the ocean in the morning and watching the sunset. 0:22:14.160 --> 0:22:15.320 How was your nephew adjustin. 0:22:15.880 --> 0:22:19.800 It's Michael now, and he's doing great, already enrolled in 0:22:19.840 --> 0:22:23.119 school and wants to play American football and go to 0:22:23.200 --> 0:22:28.000 American college, then become an astronaut like John Glenn. 0:22:29.200 --> 0:22:33.240 The American Dream. He's a smart young man. I'm sure 0:22:33.280 --> 0:22:34.919 he'll achieve anything he sets his mind to. 0:22:36.280 --> 0:22:41.440 Thank you, Jean for everything. I wish your story had 0:22:41.560 --> 0:22:45.399 the same ending. I was very sorry to hear about 0:22:45.440 --> 0:22:48.600 the death of your father. He was a great man 0:22:48.680 --> 0:22:52.320 and a great friend, and he loved you very very much. 0:22:54.200 --> 0:22:58.120 They never caught the killer, but Martin thinks the Soviets 0:22:58.160 --> 0:23:00.600 killed him rather than risk losing him to the Americans. 0:23:01.840 --> 0:23:03.480 I'm sure they would have done the same to you 0:23:03.520 --> 0:23:04.359 if given the chance. 0:23:05.440 --> 0:23:09.080 Yes, it's true that the Soviets will kill without hesitation 0:23:09.280 --> 0:23:12.439 or provocation, especially if they think it is in the 0:23:12.480 --> 0:23:15.760 service of the state. But I also warn you to 0:23:15.840 --> 0:23:20.399 watch those closest to you. Your father worked with Martin 0:23:20.440 --> 0:23:23.240 for many years and said he was also a man 0:23:23.400 --> 0:23:27.560 who cannot be trusted. The information your father held could 0:23:27.560 --> 0:23:31.280 have hurt many people. Not just the Soviets, and those 0:23:31.320 --> 0:23:34.760 people would also have reason to kill him before that 0:23:34.840 --> 0:23:36.000 information got out. 0:23:38.400 --> 0:23:40.800 Are you saying you think Martin had my father killed? 0:23:41.800 --> 0:23:45.480 Geane? All I know is there were only two sides 0:23:45.520 --> 0:23:51.399 that knew where your father was, and opportunity creates thieves 0:23:51.440 --> 0:24:03.360 and murderers. Stay safe, my boy, and trust no one. 0:24:03.920 --> 0:24:07.240 Who was that just an old friend of my father? 0:24:07.680 --> 0:24:08.000 Huh? 0:24:08.040 --> 0:24:11.800 What did you want to give me? His condolences and 0:24:12.000 --> 0:24:13.480 a few words of advice. 0:24:14.119 --> 0:24:17.000
