1
00:00:27,566 --> 00:00:30,336
[Reagan] He said to his wife,
"What do you mean
change the baby?
2
00:00:30,503 --> 00:00:33,306
I'm a ball player.
That's not my line of work."
3
00:00:33,472 --> 00:00:37,676
And she turned around
with her hands on her hips
and she communicated.
4
00:00:37,843 --> 00:00:39,945
- [crowd laughs]
- She said, "Look, Buster,
5
00:00:40,113 --> 00:00:41,847
you lay the diaper out
like a diamond.
6
00:00:42,014 --> 00:00:43,949
You put second base
on home plate.
7
00:00:44,117 --> 00:00:46,152
Put the baby's bottom
on the pitcher's mound.
8
00:00:46,319 --> 00:00:48,887
Hook up first and third,
slide home underneath.
9
00:00:49,054 --> 00:00:51,724
And if it starts to rain,
the game ain't called.
10
00:00:51,857 --> 00:00:53,526
You start all over again."
11
00:00:53,659 --> 00:00:56,129
[crowd laughing, applauding]
12
00:00:56,295 --> 00:00:57,930
So I'm going to communicate.
13
00:00:59,031 --> 00:01:02,868
Now, I know that
we can't make things
right overnight,
14
00:01:03,035 --> 00:01:06,105
but we will make them right.
15
00:01:06,239 --> 00:01:09,108
Our destiny is not our fate.
16
00:01:09,242 --> 00:01:11,910
It is our choice.
17
00:01:12,044 --> 00:01:16,382
You and your forbears
help build this nation.
18
00:01:16,515 --> 00:01:19,385
- [camera shutter clicking]
- Now, help us rebuild it.
19
00:01:20,553 --> 00:01:21,787
Thank you very much.
20
00:01:23,989 --> 00:01:25,558
[camera shutter clicking]
21
00:01:34,533 --> 00:01:35,968
Thank you, Mr. President.
22
00:01:36,101 --> 00:01:37,370
Good job, Mr. President.
23
00:01:39,438 --> 00:01:40,639
Rawhide's on the move.
24
00:01:42,408 --> 00:01:43,476
[officer on radio] All clear.
25
00:01:43,609 --> 00:01:45,077
Went great, sir.
26
00:01:45,211 --> 00:01:47,112
Boy, a trip down memory lane.
27
00:01:47,246 --> 00:01:50,149
Haven't seen him in decades,
Roy, with AFL-CIO.
28
00:01:50,283 --> 00:01:54,620
Oh, he said the two of you
fought with a guy in Hollywood,
named Sorrell.
29
00:01:54,753 --> 00:01:56,822
Sorrell. Herb Sorrell.
30
00:01:56,955 --> 00:01:59,124
Yes, he was working
for the Soviets,
31
00:01:59,258 --> 00:02:01,894
trying to infiltrate Hollywood
through the unions.
32
00:02:02,795 --> 00:02:05,464
Roy and I used to call him
"sore-as-hell" after that.
33
00:02:05,598 --> 00:02:07,433
- What's next on the agenda?
- [Brady chuckles]
34
00:02:07,566 --> 00:02:09,101
[indistinct radio chatter]
35
00:02:09,235 --> 00:02:10,769
- [camera shutter clicking]
- [crowd shouting]
36
00:02:10,936 --> 00:02:12,104
[officer on radio] Rawhide
coming through the south exit.
37
00:02:12,238 --> 00:02:13,439
Prepare the chopper...
38
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,775
[crowd shouting]
39
00:02:16,942 --> 00:02:18,644
[Reagan] My mother used to say,
40
00:02:18,811 --> 00:02:21,880
"Everything in life
happens for a reason,
41
00:02:22,047 --> 00:02:24,750
even the most disheartening
setbacks.
42
00:02:24,917 --> 00:02:27,953
And in the end, everything,
43
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,056
even seemingly
random twists of fate
44
00:02:31,224 --> 00:02:33,859
is all a part
of the divine plan."
45
00:02:33,992 --> 00:02:35,194
[gunshot]
46
00:02:36,629 --> 00:02:38,531
[two gunshots]
47
00:02:40,266 --> 00:02:42,034
[gunshot lands]
48
00:02:42,167 --> 00:02:46,272
[crowd shouting, screaming]
49
00:02:46,405 --> 00:02:48,641
[tense music playing]
50
00:02:51,143 --> 00:02:52,711
- [bleep]
- [indistinct shouting]
51
00:02:52,845 --> 00:02:54,213
[officer] Get him out!
Get him out!
52
00:02:57,450 --> 00:02:59,752
Details are very sketchy
at this moment.
53
00:02:59,918 --> 00:03:02,855
We don't know precisely
what happened.
We don't know the sequence.
54
00:03:03,021 --> 00:03:05,258
First of all,
the president is safe.
55
00:03:05,424 --> 00:03:07,159
That is just as--
56
00:03:07,326 --> 00:03:08,794
- Pardon me please.
- [staff] Bob Berkowitz.
57
00:03:08,961 --> 00:03:09,995
Hello, Bob?
58
00:03:13,332 --> 00:03:16,001
I'll wait for somebody
in the back room
to come up here and tell us.
59
00:03:16,168 --> 00:03:19,472
We had been reporting to you
that the president
was not injured.
60
00:03:19,638 --> 00:03:22,508
The White House
has confirmed now
just in the last few minutes
61
00:03:22,675 --> 00:03:25,210
that President Reagan
has indeed been shot.
62
00:03:25,378 --> 00:03:27,746
- He isn't communicating.
- [camera shutter clicking]
63
00:03:27,913 --> 00:03:29,682
- [female reporter] Larry,
can we ask you a question?
- [male reporter] Larry,
64
00:03:29,848 --> 00:03:31,850
is there any evidence
the assassin was working
for the Soviets?
65
00:03:32,017 --> 00:03:34,186
- [female reporter] Larry...
- I can't say. That's it.
66
00:03:34,353 --> 00:03:35,754
We have gotten confirm...
67
00:03:38,457 --> 00:03:41,394
[tense music playing]
68
00:03:45,097 --> 00:03:47,866
[reporter] Communists
have seized power
by force in Russia.
69
00:03:48,033 --> 00:03:52,104
[revolutionary] Anyone standing
in the way of revolution
will be removed.
70
00:03:56,575 --> 00:04:00,212
[Churchill] An Iron Curtain
has descended
across the continent.
71
00:04:02,881 --> 00:04:07,753
[Dick] The seeds
of totalitarian regimes
are nurtured by misery and war.
72
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:12,190
They spread and go
on the evil side
of poverty and strife.
73
00:04:12,358 --> 00:04:16,329
They reach their full growth
when the hope of a better life
has died.
74
00:04:16,495 --> 00:04:20,132
We must keep that hope alive!
75
00:04:20,299 --> 00:04:22,735
[reporter 1] The world witnessed
a new level of destruction
76
00:04:22,901 --> 00:04:24,337
in the first atomic bomb.
77
00:04:24,503 --> 00:04:26,104
This show of atomic force
78
00:04:26,271 --> 00:04:28,073
is only a warning
of things to come.
79
00:04:33,245 --> 00:04:36,615
[reporter 2] Soviet Union has
by violence and intimidation
80
00:04:36,782 --> 00:04:40,753
bordered the rights of Poland,
Ukraine, and Czechoslovakia
81
00:04:40,919 --> 00:04:44,189
holding millions in a prison
unable to escape.
82
00:04:44,357 --> 00:04:46,859
[reporter 3]
The world is focused today
on Berlin
83
00:04:47,025 --> 00:04:48,694
where East and West face off.
84
00:04:48,861 --> 00:04:50,863
The Soviet regime looks
to close its border
85
00:04:51,029 --> 00:04:52,765
in East Germany
against those fleeing
86
00:04:52,931 --> 00:04:54,433
the totalitarian crackdown.
87
00:04:57,302 --> 00:04:58,837
[reporter 2]
Castro's takeover of Cuba
88
00:04:58,971 --> 00:05:00,706
secures the Soviets a base
89
00:05:00,873 --> 00:05:03,175
for nuclear aggression
aimed at the United States.
90
00:05:14,820 --> 00:05:17,189
[Kennedy] Now, it is time
for this nation to take
91
00:05:17,322 --> 00:05:20,559
a clearly leading role
in space achievement,
92
00:05:20,726 --> 00:05:24,430
which in many ways
may hold the key
to our future on Earth.
93
00:05:30,002 --> 00:05:31,303
[whooshing]
94
00:05:52,425 --> 00:05:53,959
[car horns honking]
95
00:05:54,092 --> 00:05:57,029
[phone ringing]
96
00:05:57,162 --> 00:05:58,397
[receiver thuds]
97
00:06:00,298 --> 00:06:02,568
[Russian official] Do you still
worry they are listening?
98
00:06:02,735 --> 00:06:07,606
[Viktor] They stopped listening
to me a long time ago.
99
00:06:07,773 --> 00:06:10,643
[Russian officia] Not me.
I'm sending him to see you.
100
00:06:10,809 --> 00:06:13,579
[Viktor] This is no longer
a fight for old men.
101
00:06:13,746 --> 00:06:16,949
[Russian official] Perhaps not,
but he's our youngest
cabinet member
102
00:06:17,115 --> 00:06:19,452
being groomed
to be the next president.
103
00:06:19,618 --> 00:06:21,019
He has little experience,
104
00:06:21,186 --> 00:06:23,922
but some of us believe
he can be the next leader.
105
00:06:24,857 --> 00:06:28,193
However, he will need to learn
from our mistakes.
106
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,095
[Viktor] You mean my mistakes?
107
00:06:31,363 --> 00:06:33,432
[Russian official]
Ah, try to look at this
as an opportunity
108
00:06:33,566 --> 00:06:35,468
to make things right.
109
00:06:35,634 --> 00:06:38,471
[Viktor] Does anyone else know
he's coming to see me?
110
00:06:38,637 --> 00:06:40,539
[Russian official]
Let's hope not.
111
00:06:45,544 --> 00:06:46,612
[knock on door]
112
00:06:46,745 --> 00:06:48,614
[footsteps approaching]
113
00:06:48,747 --> 00:06:51,049
- [doorknob clicks]
- [door creaks]
114
00:06:51,183 --> 00:06:52,551
- Hello.
- Hello.
115
00:06:52,685 --> 00:06:54,186
I'm here to see
Viktor Petrovich.
116
00:06:55,253 --> 00:06:56,354
Please come in.
117
00:06:57,022 --> 00:06:57,956
Thank you.
118
00:06:58,090 --> 00:07:00,058
[dog barking in distance]
119
00:07:09,502 --> 00:07:11,269
Thank you for seeing me,
Comrade.
120
00:07:11,403 --> 00:07:12,905
"Comrade"?
121
00:07:13,038 --> 00:07:15,474
We don't use that term much
any longer.
122
00:07:15,608 --> 00:07:16,775
Offered in respect.
123
00:07:17,776 --> 00:07:20,746
For you, and a time
that deserves equal respect.
124
00:07:20,879 --> 00:07:22,447
1981.
125
00:07:22,581 --> 00:07:23,482
Oh.
126
00:07:25,017 --> 00:07:25,951
Special.
127
00:07:27,419 --> 00:07:28,420
[mutters]
128
00:07:30,022 --> 00:07:30,923
So...
129
00:07:32,925 --> 00:07:36,595
what brings the rising star
of Mother Russia
130
00:07:36,729 --> 00:07:38,797
to visit with a-- an old spy?
131
00:07:38,931 --> 00:07:39,832
[chuckles]
132
00:07:41,266 --> 00:07:43,435
To ask just one question of you.
133
00:07:46,939 --> 00:07:47,840
Why?
134
00:07:50,943 --> 00:07:53,178
- "Why"?
- If I'm about to regain
135
00:07:53,311 --> 00:07:56,615
our rightful place
in this world, I must know
136
00:07:56,749 --> 00:07:59,752
why we failed 30 years ago.
137
00:07:59,885 --> 00:08:02,020
Why we gave up
without even a fight?
138
00:08:03,656 --> 00:08:08,861
Why did we allow ourselves
to become a mere shadow
of our once great nation?
139
00:08:08,994 --> 00:08:10,428
Wiser men than I...
140
00:08:11,396 --> 00:08:13,766
have already answered that.
141
00:08:13,899 --> 00:08:15,634
Not to my satisfaction.
142
00:08:16,969 --> 00:08:19,538
What makes you think
I am more capable?
143
00:08:19,672 --> 00:08:21,273
Because of who you are,
Comrade.
144
00:08:21,406 --> 00:08:23,475
[tense music sting]
145
00:08:23,609 --> 00:08:24,777
What you did.
146
00:08:26,612 --> 00:08:27,780
And you were there.
147
00:08:31,083 --> 00:08:32,317
Yes, I was there.
148
00:08:34,687 --> 00:08:35,788
I was there.
149
00:08:45,163 --> 00:08:47,532
[tense music playing]
150
00:08:52,470 --> 00:08:54,472
[Viktor] My official title
was Analyst
151
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,475
at the Committee
for State Security,
152
00:08:57,610 --> 00:08:59,511
our beloved KGB.
153
00:08:59,678 --> 00:09:02,480
But I was a psychologist
154
00:09:02,648 --> 00:09:05,984
profiling those who could
become threats to our nation,
155
00:09:06,151 --> 00:09:08,721
sometimes decades away.
156
00:09:12,524 --> 00:09:14,526
[Brezhnev coughing]
157
00:09:14,660 --> 00:09:16,528
- Mm, ah.
- [thuds]
158
00:09:16,695 --> 00:09:18,831
[Viktor] Some say
I was responsible
159
00:09:18,997 --> 00:09:21,600
- for the fall
of the Soviet Union.
- [door closes]
160
00:09:21,734 --> 00:09:23,869
Let's rest
this little stagnation.
161
00:09:25,003 --> 00:09:27,572
Yes? What is it, Comrade?
162
00:09:29,642 --> 00:09:30,575
[Viktor] The actor.
163
00:09:31,844 --> 00:09:35,280
[paper rustling]
164
00:09:44,322 --> 00:09:45,624
He will win.
165
00:09:45,758 --> 00:09:48,560
I've been warning about this man
for many years.
166
00:09:50,428 --> 00:09:51,529
Prepare a file.
167
00:09:52,530 --> 00:09:54,466
Uh... Comrade Secretary,
168
00:09:54,599 --> 00:09:58,871
I have prepared dozens
of these documents.
169
00:10:01,874 --> 00:10:04,542
Yes, and I appreciate that,
170
00:10:05,377 --> 00:10:07,079
Comrade Petrovich.
171
00:10:08,446 --> 00:10:10,282
But go prepare another.
172
00:10:13,418 --> 00:10:14,419
Of course.
173
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,763
[door opens, closes]
174
00:10:24,930 --> 00:10:26,999
[Viktor] Yes, I was there.
175
00:10:30,969 --> 00:10:33,972
When I began as analyst,
we had one goal:
176
00:10:34,139 --> 00:10:37,676
spreading communism

[speaking Russian]
178
00:10:39,878 --> 00:10:42,981
[Viktor] Some countries
we invaded with military force,
179
00:10:43,148 --> 00:10:45,984
but we had special plans
for the USA.
180
00:10:46,151 --> 00:10:49,621
We sought to break them down
from within,
181
00:10:49,788 --> 00:10:52,958
strategically infiltrating
their society
182
00:10:53,992 --> 00:10:55,928
even their movie industry.
183
00:10:58,463 --> 00:11:00,632
[whirring]
184
00:11:00,766 --> 00:11:05,771
My assignment was to track
and influence their key players
185
00:11:05,904 --> 00:11:08,941
and to merge
their labor unions into one
186
00:11:09,074 --> 00:11:11,009
which we could control.
187
00:11:12,010 --> 00:11:14,880
But it's the wrong question
you ask.
188
00:11:15,013 --> 00:11:19,718
History is never about when,
where why, how.
189
00:11:19,852 --> 00:11:22,320
It always comes down to who.
190
00:11:25,157 --> 00:11:27,292
- You ready?
- Yes, sir, I'm ready.
191
00:11:27,459 --> 00:11:29,627
All right. Ronald Reagan,
192
00:11:29,795 --> 00:11:33,531
come give us
that Hollywood smile.
193
00:11:33,665 --> 00:11:36,668
[Viktor] And I just so happened
to have been assigned
194
00:11:36,835 --> 00:11:38,136
to "The Crusader."
195
00:11:39,171 --> 00:11:41,639
That is what we mockingly
called him.
196
00:11:42,808 --> 00:11:45,043
It became my obsession
197
00:11:46,044 --> 00:11:49,347
to understand what was beneath
the facade.
198
00:11:49,514 --> 00:11:54,787
And I learned to never leave
a detail behind as unimportant,
199
00:11:54,953 --> 00:11:55,854
because...
200
00:11:57,189 --> 00:11:58,991
it is all important.
201
00:12:00,492 --> 00:12:03,528
[Jane] After we get married,
how many sons
are we gonna have?
202
00:12:03,695 --> 00:12:05,497
Well, how many do you want?
203
00:12:05,663 --> 00:12:07,732
Well, it would be nice
to have a full team.
204
00:12:07,900 --> 00:12:10,936
[chuckles]
What's your favorite sport?
205
00:12:11,103 --> 00:12:12,270
That's the trouble.
206
00:12:12,404 --> 00:12:13,371
Football.
207
00:12:18,310 --> 00:12:20,412
Cut! And print it!
208
00:12:20,545 --> 00:12:23,248
Nice work, Ron and Jane.
Moving on to the next shot.
209
00:12:23,381 --> 00:12:26,018
Well, that felt pretty natural.
210
00:12:26,151 --> 00:12:27,619
Really? What part?
211
00:12:27,752 --> 00:12:28,954

- We're symbols, leaders.
- Yes.
220
00:13:06,291 --> 00:13:08,927
We should be speaking

Oh, Eddie. Give it a rest,

[Dalton] You're still
new here, Reagan.
224
00:13:14,799 --> 00:13:17,335
Trust me, the studios control
every word I write.
225
00:13:17,469 --> 00:13:18,670
And God help me,
if I don't write,
226
00:13:18,803 --> 00:13:20,305
or you don't read
what they tell us to.

00:13:20,438 --> 00:13:21,940
Uh, they're paying
the bills, Dalton.
228
00:13:22,074 --> 00:13:23,508
- They should have some say.
- Yes.
229
00:13:23,641 --> 00:13:24,910
I mean, we're doing
pretty well, aren't we?
230
00:13:25,043 --> 00:13:27,079
- I think so.
- You don't get it, Holden.
231
00:13:27,212 --> 00:13:29,848
All we are is a mouthpiece
to a system,

00:13:29,982 --> 00:13:32,985
to a society, a society
that ignores the working man.

Trust me, it won't last.

Well, what do you mean
by that, Dalton?
235
00:13:38,123 --> 00:13:39,357
Exactly what it says.

Let's go dance.

No, no, really,

explain it to me.
I'd like to know.
239
00:13:45,563 --> 00:13:49,801
Well, let's just say
this whole American Dream thing
240
00:13:49,935 --> 00:13:52,104
doesn't exactly apply
to everyone equally.
241

And some of us

We're doing something about it.

244
00:13:57,976 --> 00:14:00,612
Dalton, maybe we should talk
about this some other time.

At some point, you're gonna
need to pick a side.

Well, not tonight.
[chuckles]

Tonight, the only thing
I'm gonna pick
is my dance partner

[Viktor] To understand
what made this man unique,
256
00:14:37,315 --> 00:14:40,485
I needed to understand the boy.

- [car approaching]
- [horse whinnying]
258

[horse whinnying]
260
00:14:53,665 --> 00:14:55,934
[Viktor] His father
had a nickname for him.
261
00:14:57,035 --> 00:14:58,436
They called him "Dutch."
262
00:15:04,876 --> 00:15:09,347
He had experience
speaking to crowds
at an early age,
263
00:15:10,515 --> 00:15:12,250
as his mother, Nelle,
264
00:15:12,417 --> 00:15:16,688
pushed him to read poetry
and Bible verses
at their church.
265
00:15:16,821 --> 00:15:19,691
"If my people which are called
by my name,
266
00:15:19,824 --> 00:15:21,459
shall humble themselves
and pray,

00:15:21,593 --> 00:15:25,097
seek my face
and turn from their wicked ways,
268
00:15:25,230 --> 00:15:28,400
then I will hear from heaven,
forgive their sin,
269
00:15:28,533 --> 00:15:30,435
and heal their land."

00:15:31,836 --> 00:15:33,638
Well, anybody
can be God's people
272
00:15:33,771 --> 00:15:35,473
so long as they choose Him.
273
00:15:35,607 --> 00:15:38,210
How did you memorize
those verses so fast?
274
00:15:38,343 --> 00:15:40,378
I don't know.
I just read it and remembered.
275
00:15:41,113 --> 00:15:43,715
It's a gift, Dutch.
You have to look
for those talents
276
00:15:43,848 --> 00:15:45,817
because God has a purpose
for your life.
277
00:15:45,950 --> 00:15:47,452
Something only you can do.

was a charismatic storyteller

for that.

Why does Jack drink
so much whiskey?

I baptize you

in the name of the Father,
the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
328

Dutch reads this book.
329
00:18:27,945 --> 00:18:29,481
This book was a roadmap for him
330
00:18:29,614 --> 00:18:32,784
of the world where good
triumphs over evil.
331
00:18:32,917 --> 00:18:35,119
This book. Here, look.
332

as to whether...

Hold on, hold on.
I got you. I got you.

- Yeah.

Yeah.

[Viktor] He also learned
that performing his duty

Adolf Hitler,

I'm not gonna do
any union busting for you

00:27:48,272 --> 00:27:51,809
why weren't the communist's
efforts successful?
519
00:27:52,944 --> 00:27:55,379
[Hayden] There was just
one problem.
520
00:27:55,512 --> 00:27:58,716
They ran into
the Board of Directors
of the Screen Actors Guild,
521
00:27:58,850 --> 00:28:00,617
in particular, Ronald Reagan...
522
00:28:02,153 --> 00:28:04,221
who was a one-man battalion
against this thing.
523
00:28:04,355 --> 00:28:05,622
Let's go to work.
524
00:28:05,757 --> 00:28:06,958
- [cheering]
- Yeah!
525
00:28:09,293 --> 00:28:11,495
[Reagan] As a citizen,
I would not like to see
526
00:28:11,628 --> 00:28:13,530
any political party outlawed
527
00:28:13,664 --> 00:28:15,867
on the basis of its ideology.
528
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,669
Democracy is strong enough
to stand up for itself
529
00:28:18,803 --> 00:28:20,972
against the inroads
of any ideology,
530
00:28:21,105 --> 00:28:23,340
no matter how much
we may disagree with it.
531
00:28:23,474 --> 00:28:25,509
Because I still believe,
Mr. Chairman,
532
00:28:25,642 --> 00:28:27,578
that democracy can handle it.
533
00:28:29,580 --> 00:28:32,984
[Viktor] He had shut us down.
He was clever in his message
534
00:28:33,150 --> 00:28:36,020
that it was okay
to be communist,
535
00:28:36,187 --> 00:28:39,356
but not while being paid by us.
536
00:28:41,458 --> 00:28:44,495
[soft music playing]
537
00:28:44,628 --> 00:28:48,065
[camera whirring]
538
00:28:48,199 --> 00:28:50,267
And cut! That's lunch, everybody.
539
00:28:50,401 --> 00:28:52,003
- [crew] Okay. Nice work.
- [Jane] You were great too.
540
00:28:52,136 --> 00:28:53,938
- [actor] Can I buy you lunch?
- [Jane] Sure. I have time.
541
00:28:54,071 --> 00:28:56,673
- Let's grab a bite.
- Honey...
542
00:28:56,841 --> 00:28:59,376
[Viktor] While his wife's career
was skyrocketing...
543
00:28:59,510 --> 00:29:00,945
- [Jane] ...commissary
or my dress...
- [kid] Mama!
544
00:29:01,112 --> 00:29:02,980
[Viktor] ...he was reduced
to the sidelines
545
00:29:03,147 --> 00:29:04,281
and their marriage...
546
00:29:05,316 --> 00:29:07,551
- deteriorated.
- [kid babbling] Mama...
547
00:29:10,788 --> 00:29:13,858
[Viktor] And to break more
his damaged heart,
548
00:29:14,025 --> 00:29:16,360
their third child, Christine,
549
00:29:16,527 --> 00:29:18,930
died the very day she was born.
550
00:29:19,063 --> 00:29:21,966
[mournful music playing]
551
00:29:37,014 --> 00:29:38,215
[Nelle] How's my son?
552
00:29:41,052 --> 00:29:42,419
I lost a child...
553
00:29:43,955 --> 00:29:46,257
marriage, a career.
554
00:29:46,390 --> 00:29:47,959
How do you think your boy is?
555
00:29:50,027 --> 00:29:51,595
You know, Nelle,
556
00:29:51,728 --> 00:29:53,831
I think I kinda missed the boat
on that whole purpose thing.
557
00:29:55,599 --> 00:29:58,836
Maybe I'm just Jack
all over again.
558
00:29:58,970 --> 00:30:00,137
No, Dutch.
559
00:30:00,271 --> 00:30:01,772
You're not your father.
560
00:30:04,741 --> 00:30:06,477
Just remember
561
00:30:06,610 --> 00:30:11,448
to listen to that small,
soft voice,
562
00:30:11,582 --> 00:30:14,018
the one that you can't hear
563
00:30:15,386 --> 00:30:17,754
unless you're alone
564
00:30:18,890 --> 00:30:20,624
and quiet,
565
00:30:20,757 --> 00:30:23,127
and he has your full attention.
566
00:30:25,662 --> 00:30:27,664
Remember whose you are
567
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:31,035
and whom you serve.
568
00:30:42,914 --> 00:30:44,015
Yes, Sandy?
569
00:30:45,849 --> 00:30:47,151
Can you give an actress
five minutes?
570
00:30:47,284 --> 00:30:48,852
Uh... [exhales]
571
00:30:48,986 --> 00:30:51,822
- Of course.
- Miss Davis?
572
00:30:51,956 --> 00:30:53,891
Hello. [clears throat]
I'm Nancy Davis.
573
00:30:54,025 --> 00:30:55,526
Hello, Nancy Davis.
I'm Ron Reagan.
574
00:30:55,659 --> 00:30:57,028
- Yes, I know.
- [both chuckle]
575
00:30:58,029 --> 00:30:59,897
- How about a cup of coffee?
- Oh, sure.
576
00:31:00,031 --> 00:31:02,466
- Have a seat.
- Ah.
577
00:31:02,599 --> 00:31:04,868
I'm afraid I've been a pest
to your secretary.
578
00:31:05,002 --> 00:31:07,838
- Oh.
- But I persist
when it's important.
579
00:31:07,972 --> 00:31:09,840
- Cream, sugar?
- Oh, well,
580
00:31:09,974 --> 00:31:11,642
- sure, uh, black.
- Oh!
581
00:31:11,775 --> 00:31:13,810
- [coffee pours]
- [glass clinks]
582
00:31:13,945 --> 00:31:17,514
Well... how can I help you,
Nancy Davis?
583
00:31:18,315 --> 00:31:19,250
Well,
584
00:31:20,017 --> 00:31:23,020
I'm listed as a signer
on a letter of support
585
00:31:23,154 --> 00:31:25,256
for two communist sympathizers
586
00:31:25,389 --> 00:31:27,658
but I never signed
any such letter.
587
00:31:27,791 --> 00:31:29,260
There's another Nancy Davis.
588
00:31:29,393 --> 00:31:31,095
Oh, I see.
589
00:31:31,228 --> 00:31:34,098
Well, uh, the easiest thing
to do, is just change your name.
590
00:31:34,231 --> 00:31:35,766
It happens all the time
in Hollywood.
591
00:31:35,899 --> 00:31:38,502
Oh, no. No.
I cannot do that, no.
592
00:31:39,536 --> 00:31:41,438
My name is very important to me.
593
00:31:41,572 --> 00:31:42,773
It's-it's my family.
594
00:31:42,906 --> 00:31:44,408
Oh, of course.
595
00:31:44,541 --> 00:31:46,677
Uh, family's important.
596
00:31:46,810 --> 00:31:47,844
Yes.
597
00:31:48,545 --> 00:31:49,580
Very important.
598
00:31:52,583 --> 00:31:54,885
So, uh, I guess there's
only one thing left to do,
599
00:31:55,019 --> 00:31:59,056
and that is to launch
an exhaustive
and a detailed investigation.
600
00:31:59,190 --> 00:32:01,192
Well, of course,
I've retained an attorney.
601
00:32:01,325 --> 00:32:02,593
Oh, there won't be
any need for that.
602
00:32:02,726 --> 00:32:04,261
We can knock this out
over dinner.
603
00:32:04,395 --> 00:32:06,964
- Excuse me?
- Yes, uh,
we can discuss it then.
604
00:32:07,098 --> 00:32:09,433
But I can't be late. I, uh...
605
00:32:09,566 --> 00:32:12,103
Yes, I have an early studio call
tomorrow morning.
606
00:32:12,236 --> 00:32:15,639
Oh, well, I'll have to check
my date book.
607
00:32:15,772 --> 00:32:18,609
[chuckles] I'm just gonna--
Just give me...
608
00:32:18,742 --> 00:32:19,610
Yes?
609
00:32:19,743 --> 00:32:21,712
Yes. Um...
610
00:32:24,015 --> 00:32:27,051
Well... Oh, I think
I can manage it,
611
00:32:27,184 --> 00:32:28,619
but I have an early call too.
612
00:32:28,752 --> 00:32:30,287
Well, then it's a date!
613
00:32:30,421 --> 00:32:31,788
- Yeah. Yes.
- Yeah.
614
00:32:31,922 --> 00:32:32,990
- Okay.
- Thank you.
615
00:32:34,891 --> 00:32:36,793
- Pleasure.
- Goodbye, for now.
616
00:32:41,298 --> 00:32:42,799
[secretary] Bye, Miss Davis.
617
00:32:42,933 --> 00:32:44,135
[whistles]
618
00:32:44,268 --> 00:32:47,404
[bright music playing]
619
00:32:47,538 --> 00:32:49,106
Okay, Bobby, thanks.
620
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:50,841
I'm gonna take care of that
in the morning.
621
00:32:53,210 --> 00:32:55,479
[ballad song playing]
622
00:33:01,752 --> 00:33:02,986
- Well...
- Well, it looks like
623
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:04,355
we've shut the place down.
624
00:33:04,488 --> 00:33:06,290
Huh, yes, we did. Here.
625
00:33:13,130 --> 00:33:14,198
- [chuckles]
- Oh...
626
00:33:15,166 --> 00:33:17,368
Thank you, Joseph. Uh...
627
00:33:17,501 --> 00:33:19,170
- Miss Davis?
- Yes?
628
00:33:19,303 --> 00:33:21,038
I'm gonna get on this
first thing in the morning
629
00:33:21,172 --> 00:33:22,806
and I'll make
all the calls myself.
630
00:33:22,939 --> 00:33:25,609
Your name will be off that list.
631
00:33:25,742 --> 00:33:26,810
Oh, just like that?
632
00:33:26,943 --> 00:33:28,512
- Just like that.
- [chuckles]
633
00:33:28,645 --> 00:33:30,181
So, um,
634
00:33:30,314 --> 00:33:34,285
when-when you're not acting
or being SAG president,
635
00:33:34,418 --> 00:33:37,354
what-what do you like to do
with your time, Mr. Reagan?
636
00:33:37,488 --> 00:33:40,191
Well, I... I like the outdoors.
637
00:33:40,324 --> 00:33:41,458
Mm-hmm.
638
00:33:41,592 --> 00:33:43,394
- I-I play golf.
- Mm.
639
00:33:43,527 --> 00:33:44,461
And...
640
00:33:45,296 --> 00:33:47,464
I-I love riding horses.
641
00:33:47,598 --> 00:33:48,965
Yes. Do you ride?
642
00:33:49,766 --> 00:33:51,568
- Sure, I do. Mm-hmm.
- You do?
643
00:33:51,702 --> 00:33:54,738
Well, there's nothing
like a relationship
with a horse, is there?
644
00:33:54,871 --> 00:33:56,907
They're beautiful animals.
645
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:58,008
- Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.

- How do I slow down?
- Well, just...

- Ooh! Okay.
- You're doing fine.
You're doing fine.

- You look good on a horse.
- Oh, thank you.

a confession to make.

Oh, what's that?
656
00:34:17,828 --> 00:34:19,696
I don't ride horses. [chuckles]
657
00:34:19,830 --> 00:34:23,567
- Really? You could have
fooled me.
- Oh! [chuckles]
658
00:34:23,700 --> 00:34:25,669
Well, it's beautiful up here.

Come on over here.

- Yes, it is.
- It's like we're
a million miles from LA.
661
00:34:30,874 --> 00:34:33,944
Yes. You know, I did my first
location shoot here in fact.

00:34:34,077 --> 00:34:35,846
- Really?
- Yes.
663
00:34:35,979 --> 00:34:37,714
I jumped on the back
of that horse,
664
00:34:37,848 --> 00:34:41,252
looked around at all this,
and said, "Wow, I'm in heaven."

Oh!

00:34:42,853 --> 00:34:44,455
Yeah, it's heaven.

to make of my own, Nancy.

I haven't had
a decent role in years

what do you want
out of this life?

Now, I...

I don't know. I just wanna do
something good in this world.
682

Make a difference.
683
00:35:33,537 --> 00:35:35,272
I think you've done that.
684
00:35:36,907 --> 00:35:38,642
I'd like to make
a difference too.
685
00:35:42,045 --> 00:35:44,815
But I have figured
something out, Ronnie.
686
00:35:46,049 --> 00:35:47,518
- What's that?
- It's really hard

to make a difference
in this life

00:36:38,335 --> 00:36:40,136
- Are you sure you wanna go?
- [baby crying]
692
00:36:40,271 --> 00:36:42,706
You know, this is not exactly
Academy Award stuff.
693
00:36:42,839 --> 00:36:44,641
Well, you know
we don't like to be apart,
694
00:36:44,775 --> 00:36:46,643
and I love to watch
my husband work.
695
00:36:46,777 --> 00:36:48,812
I know, I know, work's work.
696
00:36:49,613 --> 00:36:51,081
[engine starts]
697
00:36:51,214 --> 00:36:52,916
Bye, Patti!
698
00:36:53,049 --> 00:36:54,818
[car revs]
699
00:36:54,951 --> 00:36:58,522
["This Town" playing]
700
00:37:11,167 --> 00:37:13,537
[crew] Mr. Reagan,
your agent's on the line.
701
00:37:13,670 --> 00:37:16,740
Look, Lou, if I go out there,
my career, it's...
702
00:37:17,908 --> 00:37:18,909
it's dead.
703
00:37:21,244 --> 00:37:22,546
[sighs]
704
00:37:22,679 --> 00:37:24,247
Lou, listen to me.
705
00:37:25,716 --> 00:37:28,452
I'm not going out there.
706
00:37:28,585 --> 00:37:31,522
It is Pabst Blue Ribbon time!
707
00:37:32,489 --> 00:37:35,692
- What'll you have?
- I'll have a Pabst Blue Ribbon!
708
00:37:35,826 --> 00:37:38,529
- I'll take a Pabst, Bonzo!
- Oh, yeah.
709
00:37:38,662 --> 00:37:40,364
[audience laughing]
710
00:37:40,497 --> 00:37:42,866
[Ziggy] Looks like it's bedtime
for Bonzo, folks!
711
00:37:42,999 --> 00:37:45,702
- [music cue]
- [Reagan grunts] Thank you,
ladies and gentlemen,
712
00:37:45,836 --> 00:37:48,605
and now the Pabst Blue
Ribbon dancers!
713
00:37:48,739 --> 00:37:50,140
[audience applauds]
714
00:37:56,279 --> 00:37:57,581
- Mm.
- [glass thuds]
715
00:37:57,714 --> 00:37:59,783
[sighs, forced chuckle]
716
00:38:07,624 --> 00:38:09,092
Ladies...
717
00:38:09,225 --> 00:38:11,328
do you happen to have
an extra smoke
718
00:38:11,462 --> 00:38:13,296
for a clown? Thank you.
719
00:38:13,430 --> 00:38:15,966
[electricity buzzing]
720
00:38:16,099 --> 00:38:17,468
[lighter clinks, flicks]

[puffs smoke]
722
00:38:20,203 --> 00:38:21,104
[lighter clicks]
723
00:38:23,940 --> 00:38:25,442
- Thanks.
- No problem.
724
00:38:36,420 --> 00:38:38,989
- [singer singing]
- [crowd cheering]
725
00:38:49,933 --> 00:38:51,134

727
00:39:00,010 --> 00:39:01,812
[buzzing]
728
00:39:06,450 --> 00:39:10,086
This season, I'm sending
all my friends Chesterfields.
729
00:39:10,253 --> 00:39:13,424
[Viktor] Meanwhile,
his career as movie star
730
00:39:13,590 --> 00:39:15,058
continued to fade.
731
00:39:15,191 --> 00:39:17,327
Wow! I could've had a V8!
732
00:39:18,328 --> 00:39:19,696
Oh, Ronnie!
733
00:39:19,830 --> 00:39:21,632
That's a super smooth shave.
734
00:39:21,765 --> 00:39:23,567
That's because I used Gillette.
735
00:39:24,968 --> 00:39:28,405
Soothe your skin
with Campho-Phenique
antiseptic powder.
736
00:39:28,539 --> 00:39:32,476
At the movies or at home, honey,
they're the perfect snack.
737
00:39:32,609 --> 00:39:35,011
ICEE. The coldest drink in town
738
00:39:35,145 --> 00:39:37,080
...at a sweet, low price.
739
00:39:37,213 --> 00:39:39,382
Come on, Colman's.
Light my fire.
740
00:39:39,516 --> 00:39:40,417
[bell dings]
741
00:39:42,653 --> 00:39:47,223
[Viktor] He continued to focus
on his role as the president
of Screen Actors Guild
742
00:39:48,625 --> 00:39:50,827
where he did quite well, actually.
743
00:39:50,961 --> 00:39:54,898
But the movie opportunities
started to evaporate.
744
00:39:55,031 --> 00:39:57,400
Yes, he was a B-movie star.
This is well-known.
745
00:39:58,469 --> 00:40:02,005
But what does this have to do
with losing our Motherland?
746
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:05,776
Communism is not the Motherland.
747
00:40:07,077 --> 00:40:08,879
They're the Motherland.
748
00:40:10,013 --> 00:40:14,217
Turgenev, Leo Tolstoy, Chekhov.
749
00:40:14,350 --> 00:40:16,720
That's the Motherland!
The Motherland...
750
00:40:18,421 --> 00:40:19,389
is here!
751
00:40:21,057 --> 00:40:22,959
- [Viktor mumbling]
- [aide speaking]
752
00:40:23,093 --> 00:40:25,095
I can't. I must be...
753
00:40:27,898 --> 00:40:29,365
[phone ringing]
754
00:40:35,005 --> 00:40:35,906
[Nancy] Hello?
755
00:40:37,574 --> 00:40:38,542
Oh, no.
756
00:40:39,442 --> 00:40:40,376
Ronnie?
757
00:40:46,517 --> 00:40:48,284
Thank you, Lord, for my mother.
758
00:40:50,587 --> 00:40:51,822
Take care of her.
759
00:40:53,223 --> 00:40:54,591
I know you will.
760
00:40:57,628 --> 00:41:00,631
Your good and faithful servant
has come home.
761
00:41:09,673 --> 00:41:12,242
[Viktor] While he mourned
the loss of his mother,
762
00:41:12,408 --> 00:41:15,512
and continued to struggle
with his career,
763
00:41:15,646 --> 00:41:17,347
the world was passing him by.
764
00:41:18,549 --> 00:41:20,250
[reporter] The United States
and Soviet Union
765
00:41:20,416 --> 00:41:21,785
now face off in a new Cold War.
766
00:41:21,952 --> 00:41:23,654
- Nuclear retaliation looms.
- [men shouting]
767
00:41:23,787 --> 00:41:26,022
"The purpose of these bases
768
00:41:26,156 --> 00:41:30,827
can be none other
than to provide
a nuclear strike capability
769
00:41:30,961 --> 00:41:32,596
against the western hemisphere."
770
00:41:32,763 --> 00:41:34,297
[reporter 2]
President Kennedy's blockade
771
00:41:34,464 --> 00:41:37,801
stops the advance
of nuclear weapons into Cuba.
772
00:41:41,137 --> 00:41:43,073
[reporter 3] Movements across
Germany had stopped
773
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:44,808
as the East Germans
built a wall overnight,
774
00:41:44,975 --> 00:41:46,677
separating not only
the country,
775
00:41:46,843 --> 00:41:47,978
but neighbors and family.
776
00:41:53,449 --> 00:41:58,154
[Viktor] He became
host of TV show
for appliance company.
777
00:41:58,321 --> 00:42:01,457
He toured across the country,
meeting factory workers
778
00:42:01,592 --> 00:42:02,926
and giving speeches.
779
00:42:03,093 --> 00:42:05,762
He was like politician
with no party.
780
00:42:06,763 --> 00:42:10,366
So, he decided to set
his sights on something else.
781
00:42:10,533 --> 00:42:16,039
Us. He devoured books
about communism, espionage,
782
00:42:16,206 --> 00:42:18,174
our takeover of Eastern Europe,
783
00:42:18,341 --> 00:42:20,543
and the construction
of the Berlin Wall.
784
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,817
You know our bed's
a lot more comfortable.
785
00:42:26,950 --> 00:42:30,353
Well, unless you prefer, uh,
Whittaker Chambers to me?
786
00:42:30,486 --> 00:42:32,689
- Oh, you know that's not true.
- [chuckles]
787
00:42:32,823 --> 00:42:34,925
Come to bed, honey. It's late.
788
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,229
[sighs]
789
00:42:39,362 --> 00:42:43,767
You know, all they have
are missiles and oil.
790
00:42:44,868 --> 00:42:47,237
If we get them to spend money
they don't have,
791
00:42:47,370 --> 00:42:48,739
they can't support themselves.
792
00:42:48,872 --> 00:42:50,774
- The Soviets.
- The Soviets.
793
00:42:50,907 --> 00:42:52,743
We've been going
about this all wrong.
794
00:42:52,876 --> 00:42:55,445
We don't have to match them
missile for missile.
795
00:42:56,312 --> 00:42:58,181
All we have to do
796
00:42:58,314 --> 00:43:00,416
is just keep up the pressure.
797
00:43:00,550 --> 00:43:02,886
We have deeper pockets
than they do.
798
00:43:03,019 --> 00:43:05,889
And here I thought
I married an actor.
799
00:43:07,157 --> 00:43:09,860
Well, you could always talk
to Dick Nixon,
800
00:43:09,993 --> 00:43:13,630
President Kennedy, or any
of your political friends.
801
00:43:15,398 --> 00:43:18,201
But why is it that my husband
seems to know
802
00:43:18,334 --> 00:43:21,104
what's gonna happen
before they do, hmm?
803
00:43:23,006 --> 00:43:25,208
- Well...
- Yeah.
804
00:43:25,341 --> 00:43:28,912
I was a lifeguard
at a public swimming hole
on a river.
805
00:43:29,913 --> 00:43:31,748
And I studied that river.
806
00:43:32,582 --> 00:43:35,752
And I learned
how to read the currents.
807
00:43:37,420 --> 00:43:40,590
Not just the ones
on the surface.
808
00:43:40,590 --> 00:43:43,660
But also the ones
that were deep
underneath the water,
809
00:43:44,594 --> 00:43:46,562
flowing way under.
810
00:43:49,232 --> 00:43:50,667
And I got good at it.
811
00:44:01,544 --> 00:44:03,814
I knew people were in trouble
before they did.
812
00:44:08,651 --> 00:44:13,957
- [metal thudding]
- [seagulls squawking]
813
00:44:14,958 --> 00:44:18,161
Moon, thank you for bringing
your brother up here
on such short notice.
814
00:44:18,294 --> 00:44:20,363
It wasn't easy,
he's not a fan of flying.
815
00:44:20,496 --> 00:44:23,133
Well, we'll remedy that.
Thank you for coming,
Mr. Reagan.
816
00:44:23,266 --> 00:44:24,968
Thanks for having me,
Mr. Tuttle.
817
00:44:25,101 --> 00:44:27,270
[Holmes] Now, we understand
that you jumped the aisle
818
00:44:27,403 --> 00:44:29,139
- and switched parties.
- Well,
819
00:44:29,272 --> 00:44:32,542
my brother and I both,
we came of age under FDR.
820
00:44:32,675 --> 00:44:34,644
Our dad, Jack,
he was a huge fan,
821
00:44:34,778 --> 00:44:38,281
and we were proud
to be New Deal Democrats.
822
00:44:38,414 --> 00:44:39,950
So why did you leave 'em?
823
00:44:40,083 --> 00:44:41,317
I didn't.
824
00:44:41,451 --> 00:44:43,386
- They left me.
- [laughter]
825
00:44:43,519 --> 00:44:45,555
Well, how do you feel about
campaigning for Goldwater?
826
00:44:45,688 --> 00:44:47,057
He's gonna get shellacked
in November.
827
00:44:47,190 --> 00:44:49,192
No way he takes the White House.
828
00:44:49,325 --> 00:44:52,628
Mr. Tuttle's right,
he can't beat LBJ.
829
00:44:52,763 --> 00:44:54,530
I'm curious, Ron.
830
00:44:54,664 --> 00:44:56,867
What would you say
is the issue of our time?
831
00:44:58,301 --> 00:45:00,203
No question about it.
832
00:45:00,336 --> 00:45:02,372
Communism and the Soviet Union.
833
00:45:02,505 --> 00:45:05,641
Domestic issues
is what I'm more curious about.
834
00:45:07,811 --> 00:45:11,714
What's more domestic
than survival, Mr. Tuttle?
835
00:45:11,848 --> 00:45:14,751
Communism is the natural enemy
of freedom.
836
00:45:14,885 --> 00:45:18,488
It won't stop attacking us
from the outside or the inside.
837
00:45:18,621 --> 00:45:21,224
And it's spreading
around the world
while we wring our hands
838
00:45:21,357 --> 00:45:22,893
trying to negotiate.
839
00:45:26,963 --> 00:45:29,900
What did I tell you, guys?
He's not just a pretty face.
840
00:45:30,033 --> 00:45:32,268
Why don't you put your money
where your mouth is, Ron?
841
00:45:32,402 --> 00:45:36,072
Get in the game.
Support Goldwater
and then run for office.
842
00:45:36,206 --> 00:45:37,874
Well, he'd win State Senator
in a landslide.
843
00:45:38,008 --> 00:45:39,910
State Senator.
How does that sound?
844
00:45:42,979 --> 00:45:43,880
Well,
845
00:45:44,915 --> 00:45:46,382
I played a senator once.
846
00:45:46,516 --> 00:45:48,451
[chuckling]
847
00:45:48,584 --> 00:45:50,253
But I've never played
a governor.
848
00:45:51,321 --> 00:45:53,289
[laughter]
849
00:45:56,993 --> 00:46:01,064
[Viktor] Seventeen years after
I had begun following him,
850
00:46:01,231 --> 00:46:05,035
he made his debut
on American political stage.
851
00:46:05,201 --> 00:46:08,438
Well, I'd like to suggest
to you, there is no such thing
as left or right.
852
00:46:08,571 --> 00:46:10,640
There's only up or down.
853
00:46:10,807 --> 00:46:12,375
- Look, there's daddy.
- [Reagan] I believe
that the issues
854
00:46:12,542 --> 00:46:14,410
confronting us
cross party lines.
855
00:46:14,577 --> 00:46:16,479
Now, one side of this campaign
856
00:46:16,612 --> 00:46:19,082
has been telling us
that the issues of this election
857
00:46:19,215 --> 00:46:21,651
are the maintenance of peace
and prosperity.
858
00:46:22,685 --> 00:46:24,654
The line has been used.
859
00:46:24,787 --> 00:46:26,722
"We've never had it so good."
860
00:46:26,857 --> 00:46:30,326
Somewhere, a perversion
has taken place.
861
00:46:30,460 --> 00:46:33,396
Should Moses have told
the children of Israel to live
862
00:46:33,529 --> 00:46:35,098
in slavery under the pharaohs?
863
00:46:35,231 --> 00:46:37,233
Should Christ
have refused the cross?
864
00:46:37,367 --> 00:46:39,235
Should the patriots
have thrown down their guns
865
00:46:39,369 --> 00:46:42,072
and refused to fire the shot
heard around the world?
866
00:46:43,306 --> 00:46:45,475
You and I have the courage
867
00:46:45,608 --> 00:46:47,810
to say to our enemies...
868
00:46:47,978 --> 00:46:50,313
there is a price
we will not pay.
869
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:56,219
A point beyond which
they must not advance.
870
00:46:56,386 --> 00:46:58,922
We'll preserve
for our children this,
871
00:46:59,089 --> 00:47:01,624
the last best hope
of man on Earth,
872
00:47:01,791 --> 00:47:04,995
or we'll sentence them
to take the last step
873
00:47:05,161 --> 00:47:07,697
into a thousand years
of darkness.
874
00:47:08,331 --> 00:47:11,201
When great forces
are on the move in the world,
875
00:47:11,334 --> 00:47:16,539
we learn that we are spirits,
not animals.
876
00:47:16,672 --> 00:47:19,542
There's something going on
in time and space,
877
00:47:19,675 --> 00:47:21,511
beyond time and space,
878
00:47:21,644 --> 00:47:23,479
which, whether
we like it or not,
879
00:47:23,613 --> 00:47:25,281
spells duty.
880
00:47:26,116 --> 00:47:27,050
You and I...
881
00:47:28,418 --> 00:47:30,620
have a rendezvous with destiny.
882

[audience applauds]
883
00:47:35,191 --> 00:47:38,061
[Viktor]
Mr. Goldwater lost decisively.
884
00:47:38,861 --> 00:47:41,864
But The Crusader had arrived.
885
00:47:42,032 --> 00:47:46,903
And he was putting us on notice
that he was not afraid
to take us on.
886
00:47:47,037 --> 00:47:48,972

[Betty chuckles]
889
00:47:56,846 --> 00:47:57,813
- Hello.
- Hello.
890
00:47:57,948 --> 00:47:59,882
Oh, hi! It's you!
891
00:48:00,016 --> 00:48:02,685
- [chuckles] Well, yes.
- What are doing you here?
892
00:48:02,818 --> 00:48:04,354
I-- Did I win something?
893
00:48:04,487 --> 00:48:06,756
No. We're canvasing
the neighborhood,
894
00:48:06,889 --> 00:48:09,759
and I'm running for governor
and I would like your vote.
895
00:48:09,892 --> 00:48:12,762
Well, of course! Of course! I...
896
00:48:13,463 --> 00:48:15,865
Now I'm embarrassed.
I forgot your name.
897
00:48:15,999 --> 00:48:18,868
Do his initials help? RR?
898
00:48:19,002 --> 00:48:20,836
[gasps, breathes out]
899
00:48:20,971 --> 00:48:24,540
[inhales deeply]
Honey! Roy Rogers is here!
900
00:48:26,542 --> 00:48:28,844
And he's running for governor!
901
00:48:32,515 --> 00:48:34,184
["Wild Thing" playing]

[crowd whooping, applauding]
903
00:48:38,554 --> 00:48:39,522
[camera shutter clicking]
904
00:48:44,460 --> 00:48:46,896
[Viktor] He was
on the US stage now.
905
00:48:48,198 --> 00:48:51,534
But my colleagues still refused
to take him seriously.
906
00:48:52,402 --> 00:48:53,703
After all, they said,
907
00:48:54,770 --> 00:48:56,973
"What could state governor
do to us?"
908
00:48:57,107 --> 00:48:59,976
[crowd cheering] Reagan! Reagan!
909
00:49:00,110 --> 00:49:02,578
[upbeat music playing]
910
00:49:02,712 --> 00:49:05,315
The police are overburdened.
There's just too many of them.
911
00:49:05,448 --> 00:49:07,117
Where are these kids' parents?
912
00:49:07,250 --> 00:49:09,285
Well, they're not all students.
Mostly agitators.
913
00:49:09,419 --> 00:49:10,920
They don't even know
what they're protesting.
914
00:49:11,054 --> 00:49:12,722
They're just doing it to do it,
915
00:49:12,855 --> 00:49:14,224
and they're getting
outside help.
916
00:49:14,357 --> 00:49:15,658
They've issued
a new set of demands.
917
00:49:15,791 --> 00:49:17,293
Of course they have.
918
00:49:17,427 --> 00:49:19,662
They want you to present them
to them personally.
919
00:49:20,696 --> 00:49:23,433
- The National Guard...
is on standby.
- [Reagan sighs]
920
00:49:23,566 --> 00:49:25,135
They can be on-site
within an hour.
921
00:49:25,268 --> 00:49:27,837
That's going federal.
Ramifications for that.
922
00:49:27,970 --> 00:49:30,973
Communities, schools,
especially the press.
923
00:49:32,275 --> 00:49:33,643
If they wanna talk,
924
00:49:35,111 --> 00:49:36,446
let's go talk.
925
00:49:38,814 --> 00:49:42,485
[bells tolling]
926
00:49:42,618 --> 00:49:48,091
- [siren whooping]
- [crowd shouting]
927
00:49:48,224 --> 00:49:49,359
[protester] Love rules!
928
00:49:49,492 --> 00:49:52,662
Governor Reagan!
Make love, not war!
929
00:49:52,795 --> 00:49:55,998
From the looks of him,
he can't do either right now.
930
00:49:56,132 --> 00:49:57,967
Bill's gonna meet us inside.
931
00:49:59,235 --> 00:50:00,170
Lead the way.
932
00:50:01,071 --> 00:50:03,373
Peace now! Peace now!
933
00:50:03,506 --> 00:50:06,609
We want to hear you
speak openly about this
to the state of California!
934
00:50:06,742 --> 00:50:08,644
Well, what do you think
I'm doing here?
935
00:50:08,778 --> 00:50:11,814
If you would come out against
the police escalation,
they might listen.
936
00:50:11,947 --> 00:50:15,451
When did you ever stand up
in front of your students
937
00:50:15,585 --> 00:50:17,153
and beg them not to do this?
938
00:50:17,287 --> 00:50:20,856
They told you that they were
going to destroy the university
939
00:50:20,990 --> 00:50:23,293
if you sought to go ahead
with this construction.
940
00:50:23,426 --> 00:50:26,396
- But they offered to negotiate!
- Negotiate what?
941
00:50:26,529 --> 00:50:28,631
All of this happened, professor,
the very first time
942
00:50:28,764 --> 00:50:30,633
that some of you
who are old enough
to know better
943
00:50:30,766 --> 00:50:34,170
let students think that
they have the right to choose
944
00:50:34,304 --> 00:50:36,139
which laws they were gonna obey,
945
00:50:36,272 --> 00:50:39,008
as long as it was done
in the name of social protest.
946
00:50:39,142 --> 00:50:40,710
I've had enough.
947
00:50:42,378 --> 00:50:44,914
- I'm calling in
the National Guard.
- [door closes]
948

[overlapping chatter, shouting]
949
00:50:50,886 --> 00:50:54,690
[footsteps tapping]
950
00:51:03,699 --> 00:51:05,067
Shh!
951
00:51:05,201 --> 00:51:06,936
[protesters laughing]
952
00:51:12,542 --> 00:51:14,577
[Viktor] The protestors
pushed him hard,
953
00:51:14,710 --> 00:51:16,346
but he pushed them harder.
954
00:51:17,313 --> 00:51:19,782
- [film clicking]
- He was controversial governor,
955
00:51:19,915 --> 00:51:21,784
but limited in what
he could accomplish.
956
00:51:21,917 --> 00:51:25,888
At least, as far as the things
he cared most about, like us.
957
00:51:27,657 --> 00:51:30,426
He enraged many sympathetic
to our cause,
958
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:33,363
but he also inspired
many fanatics
959
00:51:33,496 --> 00:51:34,897
who would go to great lengths
960
00:51:35,064 --> 00:51:37,933
to get a glimpse of their hero.
961
00:51:38,067 --> 00:51:39,435
[dog barking in distance]
962
00:51:39,569 --> 00:51:41,804
Ron, who's this?
963
00:51:42,738 --> 00:51:44,039
Young man, uh...
964
00:51:44,940 --> 00:51:46,041
why are you in my yard?
965
00:51:47,610 --> 00:51:48,978
Hey, Mrs. Gov!
966
00:51:49,111 --> 00:51:51,214
I'm, uh, I'm Dana.
967
00:51:51,347 --> 00:51:53,416
I'm the head writer
for Youth for Reagan.
968
00:51:53,549 --> 00:51:55,451
And they're shutting us down.
I just want five minutes
with the Gov.
969
00:51:55,585 --> 00:51:56,786
Oh, for heaven's sake.
970
00:51:56,919 --> 00:51:58,988
I-I'll be respectful,
scouts honor.
971
00:51:59,121 --> 00:52:01,457
I-I won't swear
or throw anything.
972
00:52:01,591 --> 00:52:04,059
- And I don't burn buildings.
- [Nancy] No, the problem is,
973
00:52:04,194 --> 00:52:06,629
is that the governor
is on a very tight schedule
974
00:52:06,762 --> 00:52:08,964
and he won't give you
five minutes.
975
00:52:09,098 --> 00:52:11,301
- He'll give you an hour.
- Sweet!
976
00:52:11,434 --> 00:52:13,469
No, it's not sweet.
You need to go home.
977
00:52:13,603 --> 00:52:16,306
Please, just call the office
and I'll make sure
you get an appointment, okay?
978
00:52:16,439 --> 00:52:18,774
- Honey?
Is everything all right?
- Hey, Gov!
979
00:52:18,908 --> 00:52:21,311
These young people
spent the night in our yard.
980
00:52:21,444 --> 00:52:23,112
I just wanna talk.
Five minutes.
981
00:52:26,449 --> 00:52:28,484
You look tired.
How about a cup of coffee?
982
00:52:28,618 --> 00:52:30,920
- Oh.
- Hell, yeah, dude!
983
00:52:32,422 --> 00:52:34,790
Thank you. I'm sorry,
I mean, Governor.
984
00:52:34,924 --> 00:52:36,759
[whimpers]
985
00:52:39,595 --> 00:52:42,765
[Reagan] So the politician says,
"What did I do to deserve this?"
986
00:52:42,898 --> 00:52:45,435
Saint Peter said,
"Well, we didn't know
what to do with you,
987
00:52:45,568 --> 00:52:47,803
because you're
the first politician
we've had up here."
988
00:52:50,039 --> 00:52:52,442
[Viktor] Nelle had been gone
for a decade,
989
00:52:52,608 --> 00:52:54,677
but The Crusader
managed to find others
990
00:52:54,844 --> 00:52:57,413
who shared
her fundamentalist beliefs.
991
00:52:57,580 --> 00:52:59,982
And one evening,
our surveillance picked up
992
00:53:00,149 --> 00:53:02,918
one of the strangest exchanges
I ever heard...
993
00:53:03,085 --> 00:53:05,020
- [camera shutter clicking]
- ...involving a pop star,
994
00:53:05,187 --> 00:53:06,789
a preacher,
995
00:53:07,523 --> 00:53:09,158
and a prophecy.
996
00:53:09,292 --> 00:53:11,827
If you continue to walk
uprightly before me,
997
00:53:11,961 --> 00:53:15,798
you will dwell
at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
998
00:53:19,001 --> 00:53:19,902
Amen.
999
00:53:23,973 --> 00:53:24,874
[exhales]
1000
00:53:25,941 --> 00:53:27,042
Well, that was something.
1001
00:53:29,345 --> 00:53:31,347
All right, well,
we should probably head out.
1002
00:53:31,481 --> 00:53:32,748
- Yes, yes.
- Thank you, Governor.
1003
00:53:32,882 --> 00:53:34,884
- Thank you, Pat.
- Yeah, thanks for coming.
1004
00:53:35,017 --> 00:53:36,185
Yes. [chuckles]
1005
00:53:38,388 --> 00:53:40,089
You can't possibly believe this.
1006
00:53:41,891 --> 00:53:44,327
Doesn't matter if I believe it.
1007
00:53:45,395 --> 00:53:46,529
Did he believe it?
1008
00:53:47,563 --> 00:53:48,531
Who knows?
1009
00:53:51,734 --> 00:53:54,337
[tense music playing]
1010
00:54:00,142 --> 00:54:01,277

[soft music playing]
1013
00:54:38,714 --> 00:54:40,950
Well, Bill, there she is.
1014
00:54:42,251 --> 00:54:44,387
688 acres in all.
1015
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:47,289
That sounds about enough.
How much they asking?
1016
00:54:47,957 --> 00:54:51,494
Too much
for an honest politician.
[chuckles]
1017
00:54:51,627 --> 00:54:54,897
Well, there's nothing like
stomping around
on your own piece of dirt.
1018
00:54:55,030 --> 00:54:56,065
Work and sweat,
1019
00:54:56,198 --> 00:54:57,767
think about your next move.
1020
00:54:57,900 --> 00:55:00,069
[sneers] Next move.
1021
00:55:02,071 --> 00:55:04,306
You know, they taunt, unfortunately.
1022
00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:06,275
Won't last.
1023
00:55:06,409 --> 00:55:08,444
The Soviets,
they're here to stay.
1024
00:55:08,578 --> 00:55:12,348
There's nothing
a retired governor can do
about The Soviets.
1025
00:55:12,482 --> 00:55:14,850
Well, you got a point. Not much.
1026
00:55:16,786 --> 00:55:17,953
But a president...
1027
00:55:19,622 --> 00:55:21,657
Now, he can do a thing or two.
1028
00:55:21,791 --> 00:55:23,926
[chuckles]
1029
00:55:24,059 --> 00:55:26,629
[hopeful music playing]
1030
00:55:36,939 --> 00:55:40,142
"So multiply that by a billion,
double that,
1031
00:55:40,275 --> 00:55:43,646
and that's only the surface
of how deep it really is.
1032
00:55:44,414 --> 00:55:47,016
'It' being my love for you.
1033
00:55:47,149 --> 00:55:49,619
I really love you
mucher than that.

00:55:51,921 --> 00:55:53,556
- In The Whole Wide World.
- In The Whole Wide World.
1036
00:55:53,689 --> 00:55:56,459
- [chuckles] Aw.
- [chuckles]
1037
00:55:56,592 --> 00:55:59,028
Reminds me
of one of your old movies.
1038
00:55:59,161 --> 00:56:01,464
I should have a parasol
and a mint julep.
1039
00:56:01,597 --> 00:56:04,299
Well, Nancy Pants,
I can row back and get you one.
1040
00:56:04,434 --> 00:56:06,869
[chuckles, breathes deeply]
1041
00:56:14,777 --> 00:56:16,646
Bill thinks I should run
for president.
1042
00:56:16,779 --> 00:56:19,682
- Oh, Bill thinks so, does he?
- What?
1043
00:56:19,815 --> 00:56:21,751
- You think I'm too old?
- No.
1044
00:56:21,884 --> 00:56:24,720
You look 20 years
younger than you are.
1045
00:56:24,854 --> 00:56:26,856
Your mind is sharp as a tack.
1046
00:56:26,989 --> 00:56:30,426
Well, you know I can't do this
without your support.
1047
00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:32,227
You'll always have my support.
1048
00:56:33,362 --> 00:56:36,532
I know I can't just
let you chop wood
for the rest of your life.
1049
00:56:36,666 --> 00:56:38,534
- Why not?
- [both chuckle]
1050
00:56:41,036 --> 00:56:45,240
I've actually been thinking
about what that preacher
said by the pool.
1051
00:56:45,374 --> 00:56:46,676
You thought he was a kook.
1052
00:56:46,809 --> 00:56:47,910
I still do.
1053
00:56:49,211 --> 00:56:51,113
But maybe he was onto something.
1054
00:56:52,982 --> 00:56:55,117
You just may need to save us.
1055
00:57:00,856 --> 00:57:02,825
[newscaster] Good evening.
Tonight's showdown
1056
00:57:02,992 --> 00:57:05,661
might be the most thrilling
convention we've ever seen.
1057
00:57:05,828 --> 00:57:08,197
It's a true toss-up
between the incumbent president
1058
00:57:08,363 --> 00:57:11,701
and a serious challenger
from within his own party.
1059
00:57:11,834 --> 00:57:13,803
- Dick thinks
if he can talk to Drew--
- What?
1060
00:57:13,936 --> 00:57:17,039
Dick thinks that
if he can talk to Drew,
Pennsylvania might go our way.
1061
00:57:17,172 --> 00:57:19,875
Okay. I heard James Baker
had Pennsylvania on lock before.
1062
00:57:20,009 --> 00:57:21,777
- He said they're in play.
- We lost Oregon.
1063
00:57:21,911 --> 00:57:23,112
- Oregon?
- It's gone. All right?
1064
00:57:23,245 --> 00:57:25,314
Ohio, Indiana, Florida,
or Pennsylvania,
1065
00:57:25,447 --> 00:57:28,050
- they'll have to break our way.
- Anyone else looking
for a Ford hat? How about you?
1066
00:57:28,183 --> 00:57:30,720
I think you need to change
that hat. Here you go.
1067
00:57:30,853 --> 00:57:32,588
Oh, that's gonna look good.
I'll get rid of this.
1068
00:57:32,722 --> 00:57:34,590
Okay, we may need to rethink
that strategy.
1069
00:57:34,724 --> 00:57:36,325
Indiana, Florida, Pennsylvania.
1070
00:57:36,458 --> 00:57:38,828
I'll get Schweiker to connect
with Drew about Pennsylvania.
1071
00:57:38,961 --> 00:57:41,096
- I'll circle back to Ohio.
- Okay. I will take Florida,
1072
00:57:41,230 --> 00:57:43,566
and, Mike, why don't you go
talk with Rich and Marilynn...
1073
00:57:43,699 --> 00:57:44,934
- Marilynn. Okay.
- ...about Indiana? Okay?
1074
00:57:45,067 --> 00:57:46,769
Hey, hey. We gotta win one
for the Gipper.
1075
00:57:46,902 --> 00:57:48,738
- Huh?
- Come on!
1076
00:57:48,871 --> 00:57:51,440
- One, two, three!
For the Gipper!
- Ready, go... What?
1077
00:57:51,607 --> 00:57:53,943
[newscaster] For the next
President of the United States,
1078
00:57:54,109 --> 00:57:58,681
California casts all 167
for Governor Ronald Reagan!
1079
00:57:58,814 --> 00:58:01,116
[cheering]
1080
00:58:01,250 --> 00:58:04,253
- Thank you, California.
- [laughter]
1081
00:58:04,419 --> 00:58:07,289
The Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania
1082
00:58:07,456 --> 00:58:10,760
has 93 votes for Gerald Ford!
1083
00:58:10,893 --> 00:58:12,394
[crowd cheering]
1084
00:58:12,562 --> 00:58:16,732
The state of West Virginia
proudly presents its vote
1085
00:58:16,899 --> 00:58:21,170
on behalf of our party's
candidate for the presidency...
1086
00:58:24,306 --> 00:58:26,475
Twenty votes
for Gerald R. Ford.
1087
00:58:26,609 --> 00:58:29,344
[crowd cheering]
1088
00:58:33,616 --> 00:58:36,719
[buzzing]
1089
00:58:38,287 --> 00:58:41,023
[Viktor] There is no defeat
more bitter
1090
00:58:41,156 --> 00:58:42,958
than a political defeat,
1091
00:58:43,125 --> 00:58:46,596
especially if you think
it is your last chance.
1092
00:58:46,762 --> 00:58:48,631
[Ford] And right now, I predict
1093
00:58:48,798 --> 00:58:52,001
that the American people
are going to say that night,
1094
00:58:52,167 --> 00:58:54,670
"Gerry, you've done a good job!
1095
00:58:54,804 --> 00:58:56,505
Keep right on doing it!"
1096
00:58:57,973 --> 00:58:59,842
Ford stole it, sir.
1097
00:58:59,975 --> 00:59:01,410
He was handing out
ambassadorship
1098
00:59:01,543 --> 00:59:03,879
and rides on Air Force One
like candy to babies.
1099
00:59:04,013 --> 00:59:06,315
[Reagan sighs]
Backstage politics.
1100
00:59:09,184 --> 00:59:10,319
[grunts, exhales]
1101
00:59:11,854 --> 00:59:14,657
What I really wanted, Mike,
was to be the guy
1102
00:59:14,824 --> 00:59:17,559
who finally got to say "nyet"
to the Soviets.
1103
00:59:22,464 --> 00:59:24,033
Guess it wasn't God's will.
1104
00:59:26,802 --> 00:59:28,904
[Viktor] Democrats
and Republicans
1105
00:59:29,071 --> 00:59:32,808
presented a united front
against us for 30 years.
1106
00:59:32,975 --> 00:59:37,512
But we sensed an opportunity
with the election
of Jimmy Carter.
1107
00:59:38,313 --> 00:59:41,917
Then, in 1979,
1108
00:59:42,084 --> 00:59:45,487
my worst fears
began to take shape.
1109
00:59:45,655 --> 00:59:48,791
It is a crisis of confidence.
1110
00:59:48,924 --> 00:59:52,962
Yes, Jimmy, it's a crisis
of confidence, all right.
1111
00:59:54,563 --> 00:59:56,098
Are you listening to this?
1112
00:59:56,265 --> 00:59:58,467
We can see this crisis
drawing down...
1113
00:59:58,600 --> 01:00:01,603
We are the greatest country
in the world
and we have just forgotten it.
1114
01:00:01,737 --> 01:00:03,272
[Jimmy Carter continues
speaking over TV]
1115
01:00:03,405 --> 01:00:05,040
Like I didn't see this coming.
1116
01:00:07,209 --> 01:00:08,477
It's okay to say it, Ronnie.
1117
01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:12,648
Okay. I'll say it.
1118
01:00:14,449 --> 01:00:15,885
I want to run again.
1119
01:00:24,393 --> 01:00:25,294
[sighs]
1120
01:00:27,562 --> 01:00:29,398
What do you think about that?
1121
01:00:30,766 --> 01:00:32,401
If I can do it all again...
1122
01:00:33,769 --> 01:00:35,170
[sighs]
1123
01:00:35,304 --> 01:00:38,640
The public scrutiny,
the attacks on your character,
1124
01:00:38,774 --> 01:00:40,075
all the lies.
1125
01:00:42,812 --> 01:00:44,013
But mainly,
1126
01:00:45,147 --> 01:00:46,648
I want you to be happy.
1127
01:00:47,783 --> 01:00:52,521
Well, you've already made me
the happiest man in the world.
1128
01:00:52,654 --> 01:00:53,689
[both chuckle]
1129
01:00:58,761 --> 01:01:01,663
I've had to share you
my whole life.
1130
01:01:01,797 --> 01:01:04,700
But... that's what
I signed up for,
1131
01:01:06,335 --> 01:01:09,104
and who I fell in love with.
Hmm.
1132
01:01:09,238 --> 01:01:10,305
[exhales]
1133
01:01:11,807 --> 01:01:13,508
It's not over for you, Ronnie.
1134
01:01:15,344 --> 01:01:16,946
You know what you have to do.
1135
01:01:18,413 --> 01:01:20,015
And this time...
1136
01:01:20,149 --> 01:01:21,383
- Win it.
- Win it.
1137
01:01:21,516 --> 01:01:23,953
[Nancy chuckles]
1138
01:01:34,163 --> 01:01:36,298
No, Mr. President,
1139
01:01:36,431 --> 01:01:39,401
we don't have
double-digit inflation
1140
01:01:39,534 --> 01:01:41,503
because the people
are living too well.
1141
01:01:41,636 --> 01:01:46,208
We have double-digit inflation
because the government
is living too well.
1142
01:01:47,309 --> 01:01:51,346
Our first priority
must always be world peace.
1143
01:01:52,281 --> 01:01:55,684
The use of force
is always the last resort.
1144
01:01:55,818 --> 01:01:58,187
These are the kind of elements
of a national health insurance
1145
01:01:58,320 --> 01:01:59,922
important
to the American people.
1146
01:02:00,055 --> 01:02:04,093
Governor Reagan, again,
typically is against
such a proposal.
1147
01:02:04,226 --> 01:02:05,494
[sneers]
1148
01:02:05,627 --> 01:02:08,097
- There you go again.
- [audience laughs]
1149
01:02:08,230 --> 01:02:12,334
Next Tuesday,
you will all go to the polls
and make a decision.
1150
01:02:12,467 --> 01:02:14,203
And when you make that decision,
1151
01:02:14,336 --> 01:02:16,505
I think it would be well
to ask yourself,
1152
01:02:17,372 --> 01:02:20,142
are you better off
than you were four years ago?
1153
01:02:20,309 --> 01:02:24,947
Is it easier to buy
things in the store
than it was four years ago?
1154
01:02:25,848 --> 01:02:29,384
Is there more or less
unemployment in the country?
1155
01:02:29,551 --> 01:02:33,388
Is America as respected
throughout the world?
1156
01:02:33,555 --> 01:02:35,991
Do you feel as safe?
1157
01:02:36,158 --> 01:02:41,030
Are we as strong
as we were four years ago?
1158
01:02:41,196 --> 01:02:44,233
If your answers are "yes,"
1159
01:02:44,399 --> 01:02:47,036
then I think it is obvious
who you will vote for.
1160
01:02:48,703 --> 01:02:50,139
But if you don't agree...
1161
01:02:52,607 --> 01:02:55,277
then may I suggest
another choice.
1162
01:02:57,679 --> 01:02:59,781
...and will,
to the best of my ability.
1163
01:02:59,915 --> 01:03:02,217
[Berger] Preserve,
protect and defend.
1164
01:03:02,351 --> 01:03:04,219
Preserve, protect and defend.
1165
01:03:04,353 --> 01:03:06,221
The Constitution
of the United States.
1166
01:03:06,355 --> 01:03:08,623
The Constitution
of the United States.
1167
01:03:08,757 --> 01:03:10,893
- So help you God.
- So help me God.
1168
01:03:11,026 --> 01:03:12,394
Congratulations, sir.
1169
01:03:13,462 --> 01:03:15,898
[crowd cheering]
1170
01:03:17,199 --> 01:03:20,069
[Reagan] We will again be
the exemplar of freedom
1171
01:03:20,235 --> 01:03:23,772
and the beacon of hope
for those who do not now
have freedom.
1172
01:03:25,107 --> 01:03:27,576
As for the enemies of freedom,
1173
01:03:27,709 --> 01:03:29,411
they will be reminded
1174
01:03:29,578 --> 01:03:32,814
that peace
is the highest aspiration
1175
01:03:32,982 --> 01:03:34,884
of the American people.
1176
01:03:35,050 --> 01:03:39,421
We will negotiate for it,
sacrifice for it,
1177
01:03:39,588 --> 01:03:43,225
but we will not surrender
for it.
1178
01:03:43,392 --> 01:03:45,627
Now or ever.
1179
01:03:45,760 --> 01:03:47,196
[crowd cheering]
1180
01:03:50,665 --> 01:03:53,635
[tense music playing]
1181
01:03:58,173 --> 01:04:02,144
[hopeful music playing]
1182
01:04:22,497 --> 01:04:26,701
James Baker whips our butt
in '76 working for Ford,
1183
01:04:26,835 --> 01:04:29,571
- now he's Chief of Staff.
- Well, that's why
he's Chief of Staff.
1184
01:04:29,704 --> 01:04:32,807
Ed, someone who agrees with you
80% of the time
1185
01:04:32,942 --> 01:04:35,911
is an 80% friend,
not a 20% enemy.
1186
01:04:36,811 --> 01:04:37,879
Excuse me.
1187
01:04:39,281 --> 01:04:41,583
- Mr. Speaker.
- Mr. President.
1188
01:04:41,716 --> 01:04:44,419
Congratulations.
Welcome to the Bigs.
1189
01:04:44,553 --> 01:04:47,089
Now you enjoy tonight
because tomorrow, we go to work.
1190
01:04:47,222 --> 01:04:49,691
Well, I've been well-briefed
on you, Tip.
1191
01:04:49,824 --> 01:04:52,361
I've been told I better get
a pretty good head start.
1192
01:04:52,494 --> 01:04:55,064
- Ah, that's very Irish of you.
- Yes.
1193
01:04:55,197 --> 01:04:58,667
You plan on going
ten rounds every day,
that's how we do things here.
1194
01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:01,870
All right. Just remember,
every day has a 6:00 p.m.
1195
01:05:02,004 --> 01:05:03,405
What do you mean by that, sir?
1196
01:05:03,538 --> 01:05:05,941
Well, after 6:00,
we're not political enemies.
1197
01:05:06,075 --> 01:05:07,542
We're just two Irishmen
having a beer.
1198
01:05:09,244 --> 01:05:10,179
Deal.
1199
01:05:12,681 --> 01:05:15,684
[announcer]
Ladies and gentlemen,
the First Lady and President
1200
01:05:15,850 --> 01:05:18,287
of the United States

Now the father can't find
his little optimistic son
1227
01:06:52,447 --> 01:06:56,485
so he calls out to him
and the little boy pops out
of that huge pile of manure,

in there somewhere."

And, ladies and gentlemen,
we have a pony ourselves,
1235
01:07:15,304 --> 01:07:17,306
and it's the American people,
1236
01:07:17,439 --> 01:07:20,475
and we're gonna do everything
for them that we can.
1237

We just have to dig 'em out. Mm.

1370
01:15:07,108 --> 01:15:09,477
I majored in Economics
at Eureka College.
1371
01:15:09,611 --> 01:15:12,814
Now, it wasn't
your Ivy League college,
1372
01:15:12,947 --> 01:15:15,449
but there I learned
about Ibn Khaldun,
1373
01:15:15,584 --> 01:15:17,552
he was a ruler in Egypt.
1374
01:15:17,686 --> 01:15:19,988
And he had a philosophy
that really hit home
1375
01:15:20,121 --> 01:15:23,825
when I was in the 94%
tax bracket in Hollywood.
1376
01:15:23,958 --> 01:15:27,996
And that is when taxes are low,
people have more money.
1377
01:15:28,129 --> 01:15:31,199
And when people have more money,
they buy more things.
1378
01:15:31,332 --> 01:15:34,636
Now, these things
have to be made by other people
1379
01:15:34,769 --> 01:15:38,873
who have to hire more people
to help them do that.
1380
01:15:39,007 --> 01:15:41,409
And as for taxes,
1381
01:15:41,542 --> 01:15:43,645
well, the good Lord
only asks for 10%,
1382
01:15:43,778 --> 01:15:46,715
why should Uncle Sam
ask for more?
1383
01:15:46,848 --> 01:15:48,516
- [laughter]
- Mr. President,
1384
01:15:48,650 --> 01:15:51,152
the Air Traffic Controllers
are threatening a strike.
1385
01:15:51,285 --> 01:15:53,254
- Well, can they do that?
- No, sir.
1386
01:15:53,387 --> 01:15:54,856
- Legally?
- Essential public service,
1387
01:15:54,989 --> 01:15:57,592
they have all signed
a no-strike contract.
1388
01:15:57,726 --> 01:15:59,594
A contract is a contract.
1389
01:16:00,695 --> 01:16:02,597
That's the way I learned it.
1390
01:16:02,731 --> 01:16:04,866
They forfeited their jobs.
1391
01:16:06,768 --> 01:16:11,072
[Viktor] If he was willing
to risk chaos
in his own country,
1392
01:16:11,239 --> 01:16:14,408
we could only imagine
what he might do to us.
1393
01:16:15,376 --> 01:16:17,912
- [shutter clicking fast]
- [clacks]
1394
01:16:18,046 --> 01:16:22,016
The Soviets are conducting
full exercises
right out in the open.
1395
01:16:22,150 --> 01:16:24,352
German border is quiet
but it looks like they're moving
1396
01:16:24,485 --> 01:16:26,554
some brand new SS-20s by rail.
1397
01:16:26,688 --> 01:16:29,390
That's confirmed.
They're 20 miles east of Berlin.
1398
01:16:30,491 --> 01:16:33,795
Each rail car contains
a ballistic missile
with a nuclear warhead.
1399
01:16:33,928 --> 01:16:36,464
John, how many nuclear missiles
do they have?
1400
01:16:36,597 --> 01:16:37,766
Thirty-five thousand.
1401
01:16:37,899 --> 01:16:39,901
- Officially.
- And us?
1402
01:16:40,034 --> 01:16:41,736
Twenty-five and change, sir.
1403
01:16:41,870 --> 01:16:45,239
So roughly 60,000
nuclear warheads
1404
01:16:45,373 --> 01:16:48,142
pointed at each other,
each one can take out a city.
1405
01:16:48,276 --> 01:16:50,111
That's about the size of it,
Mr. President.
1406
01:16:50,244 --> 01:16:52,380
So while we have been,
1407
01:16:52,513 --> 01:16:55,116
over the past ten years,
reducing our military,
1408
01:16:55,249 --> 01:16:57,151
they've been building up
their arsenal
1409
01:16:57,285 --> 01:16:59,320
and thumbing their noses at us,
1410
01:16:59,453 --> 01:17:02,423
violating every treaty
that we have with them.
1411
01:17:02,556 --> 01:17:04,793
More than possible, sir,
that's exactly what's happening.
1412
01:17:04,926 --> 01:17:08,797
And what have we done about it
except take a picture of it?
1413
01:17:08,930 --> 01:17:11,766
Well, after you fire off
the first thousand or so,
1414
01:17:11,900 --> 01:17:14,102
there's no one around
to keep score, is there?
1415
01:17:14,235 --> 01:17:15,236
It's insane.
1416
01:17:16,370 --> 01:17:19,741
One little mistake,
somebody has too much vodka,
1417
01:17:21,109 --> 01:17:22,310
none of this matters.
1418
01:17:23,444 --> 01:17:27,081
[tense music playing]
1419
01:17:27,215 --> 01:17:28,717
- [clacks]
- [crowd cheering]
1420
01:17:28,883 --> 01:17:30,719
[reporter] Thousands were
gathered in St. Peter's Square
1421
01:17:30,885 --> 01:17:34,322
at the Vatican today,
cheering the arrival
of the Pope.
1422
01:17:34,488 --> 01:17:38,126
But soon, gunshots turn
the celebration into horror,
1423
01:17:38,292 --> 01:17:41,796
as the Pope collapsed
into the arms of his aids.
1424
01:17:41,930 --> 01:17:44,432
He's in surgery.
The official story
1425
01:17:44,565 --> 01:17:46,935
is that he was grazed
but it's worse than that.
1426
01:17:47,068 --> 01:17:49,270
- They gave him his last rites.
- [newspaper thuds]
1427
01:17:50,338 --> 01:17:51,806
What do we know?
1428
01:17:51,940 --> 01:17:53,641
[Casey] John Paul is from Poland
under Soviet control.
1429
01:17:53,775 --> 01:17:55,777
Polish people want self-rule
and democracy.
1430
01:17:55,910 --> 01:17:57,979
Solidarity movement
is taking over the nation.
1431
01:17:58,112 --> 01:18:00,281
The Pope is with them,
1432
01:18:00,414 --> 01:18:03,051
basically giving Moscow
the middle finger
because he can.
1433
01:18:03,184 --> 01:18:05,987
Visit to the homeland
is basically the second coming.
1434
01:18:06,120 --> 01:18:09,290
The writing's on the wall,
this comes from Moscow
via Bulgaria, Mr. President.
1435
01:18:09,423 --> 01:18:11,325
This is KGB all the way.
1436
01:18:11,459 --> 01:18:13,061
Well, that doesn't
make sense, Bill.
1437
01:18:13,194 --> 01:18:14,963
They're either gonna
create a martyr
1438
01:18:15,096 --> 01:18:17,866
or they're gonna unleash
the Catholic Church
1439
01:18:17,999 --> 01:18:19,233
against themselves.
1440
01:18:22,837 --> 01:18:23,905
They're scared.
1441
01:18:25,106 --> 01:18:26,374
[Viktor] The Pope lived.
1442
01:18:27,708 --> 01:18:29,778
And now, The Crusader
and the Pope
1443
01:18:29,944 --> 01:18:33,114
shared a bond of having
survived an assassin's bullet.
1444
01:18:33,281 --> 01:18:38,219
And his new ally just happened
to have a billion followers.
1445
01:18:38,352 --> 01:18:40,654
[crowd cheering]
1446
01:19:08,516 --> 01:19:10,051
[Viktor] Get out of Poland.
1447
01:19:10,218 --> 01:19:11,652
Get out of Afghanistan.
1448
01:19:11,820 --> 01:19:13,754
Throw away
ten years of treaties
1449
01:19:13,922 --> 01:19:17,391
and eliminate
all nuclear missiles.
1450
01:19:17,558 --> 01:19:21,462
As they say in America,
Brezhnev's mind was blown.
1451
01:19:26,600 --> 01:19:27,601
He scribbles
1452
01:19:28,569 --> 01:19:32,440
a personal note to me
on yellow paper?
1453
01:19:32,573 --> 01:19:34,876
The President
of the United States?
1454
01:19:37,011 --> 01:19:38,579
Now we know who shot him.
1455
01:19:40,248 --> 01:19:41,883
His own State Department.
1456
01:19:42,016 --> 01:19:44,252
[grunts softly] Eh?
1457
01:19:44,385 --> 01:19:46,220
[Viktor] No, thank you.
1458
01:19:46,354 --> 01:19:49,991
- [chuckles]
- [alcohol pours]
1459
01:19:50,158 --> 01:19:54,028
[Viktor] And now, enter
his new Secretary of State,
1460
01:19:54,195 --> 01:19:58,599
- George Shultz, the Tiger Man.
- [Andrei] The who?
1461
01:19:58,732 --> 01:20:01,502
He had a tattoo
of a tiger on his ass.
1462
01:20:01,635 --> 01:20:02,803
How do we know that?
1463
01:20:02,937 --> 01:20:05,106
KGB. Here.
1464
01:20:10,744 --> 01:20:13,814
[Reagan] We'll just get
this little ceremony over with.
1465
01:20:13,948 --> 01:20:16,951
This is what I used
to quit smoking
back in the '60s.
1466
01:20:17,085 --> 01:20:18,486
[chuckling]
1467
01:20:18,619 --> 01:20:19,687
Oh, I knew it.
1468
01:20:20,955 --> 01:20:23,257
- I knew it.
- [Shultz] What?
1469
01:20:23,391 --> 01:20:25,693
Well, you can tell a lot
about a man's character
1470
01:20:25,826 --> 01:20:28,096
by if he chooses just one color
1471
01:20:28,229 --> 01:20:29,597
or if he grabs a handful.
1472
01:20:29,730 --> 01:20:31,099
[Shultz] I see.
1473
01:20:31,232 --> 01:20:33,267
And, uh, what does this say
about my character?
1474
01:20:33,401 --> 01:20:35,669
It says that you're focused,
1475
01:20:35,803 --> 01:20:37,371
you're determined,
1476
01:20:37,505 --> 01:20:39,173
and that you're not
easily distracted.
1477
01:20:39,307 --> 01:20:40,641
You're gonna do great here.
1478
01:20:41,575 --> 01:20:43,611
Okay, then. [laughs]
1479
01:20:43,744 --> 01:20:47,048
[Reagan] America has hired us
to do two things.
1480
01:20:47,181 --> 01:20:50,118
Let them be prosperous again,
1481
01:20:51,185 --> 01:20:52,553
and keep them safe.
1482
01:20:52,686 --> 01:20:54,288
Peace through strength.
1483
01:20:54,422 --> 01:20:55,523
May I speak freely?
1484
01:20:55,656 --> 01:20:56,958
I expect it.
1485
01:20:57,091 --> 01:20:59,493
Clarity is power.
1486
01:20:59,627 --> 01:21:02,496
Now, I believe you are clear
in these objectives.
1487
01:21:02,630 --> 01:21:04,498
Now, the rest of the world
needs to be.
1488
01:21:04,632 --> 01:21:06,700
As long as those objectives
are your objectives.
1489
01:21:06,834 --> 01:21:08,869
They are, Mr. Clark.
Which isn't to say
1490
01:21:09,003 --> 01:21:11,672
that I won't push back
or voice opinions
1491
01:21:11,805 --> 01:21:14,175
if I see conflict
in those objectives.
1492
01:21:14,308 --> 01:21:16,044
That's exactly why I chose you.
1493
01:21:16,177 --> 01:21:17,912
Peace through
strength is, it's--
1494
01:21:18,046 --> 01:21:19,747
It's just a-a bit opaque.
1495
01:21:19,880 --> 01:21:23,417
I-I need you to articulate
a message about the Soviets
1496
01:21:23,551 --> 01:21:25,253
that I can take to the world.
1497
01:21:26,720 --> 01:21:28,022
Well, that's simple.
1498
01:21:28,957 --> 01:21:30,058
We win.
1499
01:21:30,191 --> 01:21:31,425
They lose.
1500
01:21:31,559 --> 01:21:32,860
And you can quote me.
1501
01:21:32,994 --> 01:21:35,763
[laughter]
1502
01:21:35,896 --> 01:21:37,331
Well, that's a clear message.
1503
01:21:37,465 --> 01:21:38,366
[chuckles]
1504
01:21:41,402 --> 01:21:44,372
[hopeful music playing]
1505
01:22:07,028 --> 01:22:09,363
- Hey, Dutch, where you going?
- Come on, Dutch!
1506
01:22:09,497 --> 01:22:10,764
[laughter]
1507
01:22:10,898 --> 01:22:12,800
- Scaredy-cat!
- Four eyes!
1508
01:22:12,933 --> 01:22:14,435
[Nelle] That's the boy
that's been threatening you?
1509
01:22:14,568 --> 01:22:16,604
- [Dutch] Every day.
- [bully] Get over here!
1510
01:22:18,106 --> 01:22:21,142
- Mama's boy.
- He'll be there tomorrow too.
1511
01:22:21,275 --> 01:22:23,577
That's what bullies do
until you stand up to them.
1512
01:22:24,578 --> 01:22:26,047
It's time for you
to settle this, Dutch.
1513
01:22:27,081 --> 01:22:28,049
Go on.
1514
01:22:31,185 --> 01:22:32,886
[bully taunting]
1515
01:22:33,021 --> 01:22:34,155
Come on, Mama's boy.
1516
01:22:36,924 --> 01:22:39,293
- [bully taunting]
- [sidekicks laughing]
1517
01:22:40,928 --> 01:22:42,563
- Get him.
- [punch lands]
1518
01:22:42,696 --> 01:22:44,598
- [taunting]
- [punches landing]
1519
01:22:44,732 --> 01:22:46,467
- [grunting]
- [punches landing]
1520
01:22:56,910 --> 01:23:00,481
[police siren wailing]
1521
01:23:06,454 --> 01:23:08,122
[sighs]
1522
01:23:08,256 --> 01:23:10,658
[pen scratching]
1523
01:23:14,428 --> 01:23:15,929
It's a little soft.
1524
01:23:16,964 --> 01:23:18,132
We'll get it there, sir.
1525
01:23:20,468 --> 01:23:23,104
- Dana? A word.
- [door opens]
1526
01:23:23,237 --> 01:23:24,872
- [pen holder clinks]
- [door closes]
1527
01:23:30,778 --> 01:23:34,348
Well, I see you still have
one foot in California.
1528
01:23:37,451 --> 01:23:41,789
I am about to start
the biggest war of this century.
1529
01:23:42,923 --> 01:23:44,058
Maybe of all time.
1530
01:23:45,459 --> 01:23:47,561
And I'm not gonna fire
a single shot.
1531
01:23:48,629 --> 01:23:50,398
I'm gonna fight it with words.
1532
01:23:52,100 --> 01:23:56,404
And they have to count
every single one of them.
1533
01:23:56,537 --> 01:23:59,140
So say what you mean,
1534
01:23:59,273 --> 01:24:00,641
mean what you say.
1535
01:24:02,376 --> 01:24:04,878
I need the guy
who camped out in my yard.
1536
01:24:05,012 --> 01:24:05,979
You understand?
1537
01:24:08,382 --> 01:24:10,751
- [hopeful music playing]
- [birds chirping]
1538
01:24:10,884 --> 01:24:12,886
[audience applauds]
1539
01:24:16,124 --> 01:24:17,658
[Reagan] And let us pray
1540
01:24:17,791 --> 01:24:19,893
for the salvation
of those who live
1541
01:24:20,027 --> 01:24:22,163
in that totalitarian darkness.
1542
01:24:23,364 --> 01:24:26,033
Let us pray
that they will discover
1543
01:24:26,167 --> 01:24:28,001
the joy of knowing God
1544
01:24:28,702 --> 01:24:31,939
and let us be aware that while
their unelected leaders
1545
01:24:32,072 --> 01:24:34,442
preach the supremacy
of the State,
1546
01:24:34,575 --> 01:24:38,212
declare its omnipotence
over individual man
1547
01:24:38,346 --> 01:24:40,281
and predict
its eventual domination
1548
01:24:40,414 --> 01:24:42,350
of all the peoples of the Earth,
1549
01:24:42,483 --> 01:24:46,053
they are the focus of evil
in the modern world.
1550
01:24:47,521 --> 01:24:48,789
It was C.S. Lewis,
1551
01:24:48,956 --> 01:24:53,227
who in his magnificent
Screwtape Letters wrote,
1552
01:24:53,361 --> 01:24:55,896
"The greatest evil is not done
1553
01:24:56,029 --> 01:24:59,533
in those sordid dens of crime
that Dickens loved to paint
1554
01:24:59,700 --> 01:25:04,738
nor is it done
in the concentration camps
and labor camps.
1555
01:25:04,905 --> 01:25:08,276
In them,
we see its final result.
1556
01:25:08,442 --> 01:25:10,878
But it is conceived and ordered
1557
01:25:11,044 --> 01:25:15,383
in clear, carpeted, warmed,
and well-lighted offices
1558
01:25:15,549 --> 01:25:19,353
by quiet men with white collars
and cut fingernails
1559
01:25:19,520 --> 01:25:21,589
who do not need to raise
their voices,
1560
01:25:21,755 --> 01:25:25,526
but speak in soothing tones
of brotherhood and peace."
1561
01:25:26,460 --> 01:25:30,364
Beware the temptation
to ignore the facts of history,
1562
01:25:30,531 --> 01:25:34,067
and the aggressive impulses
of an evil empire.
1563
01:25:34,202 --> 01:25:35,936
[crowd cheers, applauds]
1564
01:25:36,069 --> 01:25:36,970
Yes!
1565
01:25:41,875 --> 01:25:44,478
I think the President's words
were a little irresponsible.
1566
01:25:44,645 --> 01:25:47,581
Last thing we need to do
is heat this Cold War up.
1567
01:25:47,748 --> 01:25:50,251
- [scoffs]
- While the President
clearly thought tonight...
1568
01:25:50,384 --> 01:25:52,353
What is wrong
with these people?
1569
01:25:52,486 --> 01:25:54,154
I mean, whose side
are they on, anyway?
1570
01:25:54,288 --> 01:25:58,192
Oh, honey, you can't pay
any attention to that.
1571
01:25:58,326 --> 01:26:01,829
But I have to.
Most of the country
is paying attention to them.
1572
01:26:01,962 --> 01:26:05,666
Well, if you think that got
their undies in a wad,
you just wait.
1573
01:26:06,667 --> 01:26:10,338
We have prevented nuclear war
for more than three decades.
1574
01:26:10,471 --> 01:26:14,475
Recently, however,
it has become clear
we cannot rely solely
1575
01:26:14,608 --> 01:26:18,011
on offensive retaliation
to maintain peace.
1576
01:26:18,145 --> 01:26:20,481
I call upon
the scientific community,
1577
01:26:20,614 --> 01:26:22,883
those who gave us
nuclear weapons
1578
01:26:23,016 --> 01:26:28,222
to turn their great talents now
to the cause of mankind
and world peace.
1579
01:26:28,356 --> 01:26:30,991
To build this defensive
"missile shield,"
1580
01:26:31,158 --> 01:26:34,862
rendering these weapons
impotent and obsolete.
1581
01:26:35,028 --> 01:26:36,664
If we take these measures...
1582
01:26:36,830 --> 01:26:40,067
[Viktor] He got the idea
from a movie he starred
in, in 1940.
1583
01:26:40,934 --> 01:26:45,706
And with his economy booming,
he now had the money to spend.
1584
01:26:47,275 --> 01:26:48,642
But it didn't exist.
1585
01:26:48,776 --> 01:26:49,743
Small detail.
1586
01:26:50,944 --> 01:26:53,046
- Small detail?
- Let's just say
1587
01:26:53,180 --> 01:26:55,983
he was characteristically
optimistic.
1588
01:26:56,116 --> 01:26:57,485
So he was lying.
1589
01:26:57,618 --> 01:26:59,152
Here. Eat something.
1590
01:26:59,287 --> 01:27:00,821
Viktor Petrovich,
it didn't exist.
1591
01:27:00,954 --> 01:27:02,189
It was science fiction.
1592
01:27:02,323 --> 01:27:04,992
But the missiles, missiles did!
1593
01:27:05,125 --> 01:27:06,327
Doesn't matter.
1594
01:27:07,060 --> 01:27:09,563
The Crusader
was making his move.
1595
01:27:09,697 --> 01:27:11,198
And we knew it.
1596
01:27:14,368 --> 01:27:15,769
And then something happened.
1597
01:27:18,138 --> 01:27:19,206
Like what?
1598
01:27:21,675 --> 01:27:23,711
[engines whirring]
1599

[whooshing]
1601
01:27:36,189 --> 01:27:39,760
[pilot] Korean Airlines,
you are in Soviet airspace.
1602
01:27:39,893 --> 01:27:41,295
Move out now.
1603
01:27:43,531 --> 01:27:44,965
[call button chimes]

[tense music playing]
1606
01:27:53,674 --> 01:27:55,242
[pilot] Command,
there is no response.
1607
01:27:55,409 --> 01:27:57,077
Appears to be
commercial flight.
1608
01:27:57,244 --> 01:27:59,547
- [comm officer] Shoot it down.
- [pilot] Are you sure?
1609
01:27:59,713 --> 01:28:01,482
I see flashing indicators.
1610
01:28:01,649 --> 01:28:04,318
- [comm officer] Shoot it down.
- [pilot] Copy that.
1611
01:28:17,865 --> 01:28:21,234
[distant screaming]
1612
01:28:24,605 --> 01:28:26,073
A civilian airliner?

01:28:26,239 --> 01:28:27,708
[Anatoly] CIA spy plane.
1614
01:28:27,875 --> 01:28:29,443
They were warned repeatedly.
1615
01:28:29,577 --> 01:28:31,512
It was a commercial flight!
1616
01:28:31,645 --> 01:28:33,614
Two hundred
and sixty-nine people
1617
01:28:33,781 --> 01:28:35,082
are dead, Anatoly,
1618
01:28:35,248 --> 01:28:36,984
including one
of our congressman!
1619
01:28:37,117 --> 01:28:39,286
- [man] George...
- You crossed a line.
1620
01:28:49,697 --> 01:28:53,534
[reporter 1] Tensions between
the Cold War adversaries
continue to escalate.
1621
01:28:53,701 --> 01:28:56,437
[reporter 2] President Reagan
called it an act of barbarism.
1622
01:28:56,604 --> 01:28:59,640
[reporter 3] NATO forces
remain on alert across Europe.
1623
01:28:59,807 --> 01:29:01,975
[reporter 4] Many are concerned
at home and abroad
1624
01:29:02,142 --> 01:29:05,312
that these actions
bring the United States
and the Soviet Union
1625
01:29:05,479 --> 01:29:08,348
a step closer
to a direct military conflict.
1626
01:29:09,883 --> 01:29:11,619
[Viktor] And three weeks later,
1627
01:29:11,785 --> 01:29:15,789
our radar systems detected
the unthinkable.
1628
01:29:15,923 --> 01:29:17,891
[clanks]
1629
01:29:18,058 --> 01:29:21,061
[Viktor] Triggering a terrifying
response of action.
1630
01:29:24,264 --> 01:29:27,234
- This is not a drill.
- Do we have
confirmation on this?
1631
01:29:27,367 --> 01:29:29,002
Soviets are heating up
six sites.
1632
01:29:29,136 --> 01:29:30,871
That's 18 million
American lives.
1633
01:29:31,004 --> 01:29:32,139
They think we're launching, sir.
1634
01:29:32,272 --> 01:29:33,474
Prepare for DEFCON 1.
1635
01:29:33,607 --> 01:29:35,576
I need confirmation.
1636
01:29:35,709 --> 01:29:39,847
Mr. President, if this is real,
we won't have time
for confirmation.
1637
01:29:44,017 --> 01:29:45,586
We need a decision.
1638
01:29:51,124 --> 01:29:53,060
[computer beeping]
1639
01:29:53,193 --> 01:29:57,330

They're aborting, sir.
They're standing down.
1643
01:30:50,618 --> 01:30:52,886
- [sighs of relief]
- Okay, sir. I'll let them know.
1644
01:30:53,020 --> 01:30:55,656
- [sigh]
- We're that close.
1645
01:30:55,789 --> 01:30:58,592
Looks like a flock of geese
triggered a positive radar hit.
1646
01:30:58,726 --> 01:30:59,927
- Ah, Jesus.
- Ah.
1647
01:31:01,228 --> 01:31:02,630
I can't believe it.
1648
01:31:04,498 --> 01:31:07,801
[Viktor] The Cold War
was in full swing.
1649
01:31:07,968 --> 01:31:11,772
The Crusader knew he had
to keep the pressure on us,
1650
01:31:11,939 --> 01:31:14,908
but making sure
there were no more mistakes.
1651
01:31:16,143 --> 01:31:20,313
But before he could resume
his crusade against us,
1652
01:31:20,480 --> 01:31:22,516
he would have to face
his voters.
1653
01:31:23,617 --> 01:31:28,155
And let's just say,
not everyone thought
he was the right choice.
1654
01:31:28,288 --> 01:31:31,091
[geese quacking]

Mr. Mondale's poll numbers
have been steadily rising.
1665
01:32:51,805 --> 01:32:55,408
Concerns have been raised
as the President has stumbled,
1666
01:32:55,575 --> 01:32:57,544
appearing tired
in the last debate.
1667
01:32:57,711 --> 01:33:00,213
President Reagan
could very well end up
1668
01:33:00,347 --> 01:33:02,115
a one-term president.
1669
01:33:05,518 --> 01:33:07,587
So how do you adjust
for inflation, uh,
1670
01:33:07,721 --> 01:33:10,791
between the six
and twelve percent projections?
1671
01:33:10,924 --> 01:33:12,793
Well, you know,

01:33:13,727 --> 01:33:17,230
that with the adding
of four million...

Okay.

Stop. Stop.

01:33:36,383 --> 01:33:37,718
I need a break.

01:33:46,393 --> 01:33:48,061
w-we just need to do this
all over again.

No. I've had enough, Ed.

What do you say,
you and Mrs. Reagan
1688
01:34:00,140 --> 01:34:01,675
get together
and watch it tonight?
1689
01:34:01,809 --> 01:34:03,610
Relax, calm your mind.
1690
01:34:03,744 --> 01:34:05,078
You'll be back
in the saddle tomorrow.
1691

And we'll be ready to go.

Aha. Martha?
1702
01:34:41,048 --> 01:34:42,082
[Martha] Yes, Father.
1703
01:34:42,249 --> 01:34:43,183
You tell me.
1704
01:34:44,517 --> 01:34:46,186
Friedrich told you, Father.

01:34:47,120 --> 01:34:48,688
We were berry picking.
1706
01:34:48,856 --> 01:34:51,925
[von Trapp] I forgot!
You were berry picking.
1707
01:34:52,092 --> 01:34:53,626
- [kids] Yes!
- We love berry picking.
1708
01:34:53,794 --> 01:34:54,928
- [von Trapp] All afternoon?
- Mm-hmm!
1709
01:34:55,095 --> 01:34:57,130
- [Martha] We picked thousands.
- Thousands?
1710
01:34:57,297 --> 01:34:59,099
They were all over the place.
1711
01:34:59,266 --> 01:35:00,533
[von Trapp]
What kind of berries?
1712
01:35:00,700 --> 01:35:02,469
- [Maria] Blueberries, sir.
- Blueberries!
1713
01:35:02,635 --> 01:35:04,171
- Yes!
- Yes! Blue!
1714
01:35:05,505 --> 01:35:08,408
[von Trapp] It's, uh,
too early for blueberries.
1715
01:35:09,777 --> 01:35:11,411
[Maria] They were strawberries.
1716
01:35:11,578 --> 01:35:14,815
[host] Mr. Trewhitt,
your question
to President Reagan.
1717
01:35:14,982 --> 01:35:17,951
Mr. President, I wanna raise
an issue that I think
has been lurking out there
1718
01:35:18,118 --> 01:35:20,387
for two or three weeks,
and cast it specifically
1719
01:35:20,520 --> 01:35:22,422
in national security terms.
1720
01:35:22,555 --> 01:35:24,892
You already are the oldest
President in history
1721
01:35:25,025 --> 01:35:26,726
and some of your staff say
that you were tired
1722
01:35:26,860 --> 01:35:29,729
after your most recent encounter
with Mr. Mondale.
1723
01:35:29,863 --> 01:35:32,833
I recall yet
that President Kennedy
had to go for days on end
1724
01:35:32,966 --> 01:35:35,368
with very little sleep
during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
1725
01:35:35,502 --> 01:35:37,905
Is there any doubt in your mind
that you would be able
to function
1726
01:35:38,038 --> 01:35:39,773
in such circumstances?
1727
01:35:39,907 --> 01:35:41,875
Not at all, Mr. Trewhitt.
1728
01:35:42,009 --> 01:35:43,710
And I want you to know
that, also,
1729
01:35:43,844 --> 01:35:47,347
I will not make age
an issue in this campaign.
1730
01:35:47,480 --> 01:35:50,717
I will not
for political purposes,
1731
01:35:50,851 --> 01:35:54,221
exploit my opponent's youth
and inexperience.
1732
01:35:54,354 --> 01:35:58,191
[audience laughing, applauding]
1733
01:35:58,358 --> 01:36:00,861
[Viktor] And with that
one thrust of wit...
1734
01:36:06,399 --> 01:36:07,734
he turned the tide.
1735
01:36:07,868 --> 01:36:11,704
[upbeat music playing]
1736
01:36:17,845 --> 01:36:19,112
[crowd cheering]
1737
01:36:20,547 --> 01:36:26,386
[chanting] USA, USA, USA, USA!
1738
01:36:26,519 --> 01:36:28,588
[indistinct chatter]
1739
01:36:28,721 --> 01:36:30,790
- He'll be there.
- You wanted to see me, sir?
1740
01:36:31,724 --> 01:36:33,593
No, we'll figure it out.
1741
01:36:33,726 --> 01:36:35,996
- Yeah. Yeah, John.
- [sighs]
1742
01:36:36,129 --> 01:36:39,599
Uh, there's a rumor around here
that you're a... a horse guy.
1743
01:36:39,732 --> 01:36:41,401
Yup, I rode for Boston PD.
1744
01:36:41,534 --> 01:36:44,137
I've been riding my whole life,
really. Why?
1745
01:36:44,271 --> 01:36:46,273
We've been having some issues
at the Western White House
1746
01:36:46,406 --> 01:36:48,275
- out in California.
- What kind of issues?
1747
01:36:48,408 --> 01:36:49,442
Nobody can ride.
1748
01:36:50,310 --> 01:36:53,246
Yeah, Rawhide
isn't gonna say anything
but it's pretty embarrassing
1749
01:36:53,380 --> 01:36:55,849
when one of ours
has to walk his horse
when he wants to run.
1750
01:36:55,983 --> 01:36:57,084
You mean gallop.
1751
01:36:57,217 --> 01:36:58,151
Yeah. Whatever.
1752
01:36:59,286 --> 01:37:02,689
But, uh, do you wanna head up
that detail when we travel?
1753
01:37:05,458 --> 01:37:10,297
So I'd be riding horses
with the... with the President?
1754
01:37:11,231 --> 01:37:12,165
Giddyap.
1755
01:37:14,601 --> 01:37:16,336
- Okay.
- All right.
1756
01:37:20,707 --> 01:37:23,576
- [coughing]
- [Viktor] Unlike
other presidents,
1757
01:37:23,743 --> 01:37:27,114
The Crusader was in no rush
to meet with us.
1758
01:37:28,148 --> 01:37:30,317
- This created a problem.
- [coughing]
1759
01:37:30,450 --> 01:37:35,822
[funeral march playing]
1760
01:37:35,956 --> 01:37:37,457
Here's the latest.
1761
01:37:37,590 --> 01:37:39,492
[grunts, groans]
1762
01:37:39,626 --> 01:37:43,730
[funeral march playing]
1763
01:37:46,466 --> 01:37:47,467
This here,
1764
01:37:48,668 --> 01:37:49,736
this is only...
1765
01:37:49,869 --> 01:37:51,838
[coughing]
1766
01:37:56,143 --> 01:38:00,713
[funeral march playing]
1767
01:38:03,483 --> 01:38:06,086
How can I talk to them
if they keep dying on me?
1768
01:38:11,524 --> 01:38:15,028
We are starving for energy,
Ron, and we've got
to get it somewhere
1769
01:38:15,162 --> 01:38:17,697
and we can't afford
what we've been paying.
1770
01:38:17,830 --> 01:38:19,832
But buying it
from the Soviet Union?
1771
01:38:19,967 --> 01:38:24,704
You know that that money
is going directly
into a missile pointed at you.
1772
01:38:24,837 --> 01:38:26,539
Mr. President,
1773
01:38:27,507 --> 01:38:29,342
give me an alternative.
1774
01:38:29,476 --> 01:38:34,514
The Saudis have agreed
to increase oil production,
1775
01:38:34,647 --> 01:38:37,884
as long as we buy it from them,
not the Russians.
1776
01:38:38,018 --> 01:38:41,421
And if we can get our friends
to go along with us.
1777
01:38:41,554 --> 01:38:44,891
And you can sell this at home?
To your Texans?
1778
01:38:45,025 --> 01:38:47,560
It will drop oil
to under ten dollars a barrel.
1779
01:38:47,694 --> 01:38:50,097
Oh, I'll take a political hit
for it, that's for sure.
1780
01:38:50,230 --> 01:38:52,699
And Texans love to make money,
yes, they do.
1781
01:38:52,832 --> 01:38:54,267
We all do.
1782
01:38:54,401 --> 01:38:56,569
But they love
their freedom even more.
1783
01:38:56,703 --> 01:39:01,608
First, the Evil Empire
and now this.
1784
01:39:01,741 --> 01:39:03,910
You're certainly not looking
to make friends.
1785
01:39:04,044 --> 01:39:05,312
No, I'm not.
1786
01:39:05,445 --> 01:39:07,280
But perhaps you should.
1787
01:39:07,414 --> 01:39:09,082
I met their new man, Gorbachev.
1788
01:39:09,216 --> 01:39:11,884
He is a very different
kind of Russian.
1789
01:39:12,019 --> 01:39:17,390
And I told him you were
a very, very different kind
1790
01:39:17,524 --> 01:39:19,126
of an American.
1791
01:39:22,929 --> 01:39:25,765
- Pushing up the draft.
All right.
- Ah!
1792
01:39:25,898 --> 01:39:27,500
- Ow! Oh, oh.
- Hey, hey. Quiet. Shh!
1793
01:39:29,102 --> 01:39:31,404
Good evening. President Reagan
is in Geneva tonight
1794
01:39:31,571 --> 01:39:33,006
ready for the Gorbachev summit.
1795
01:39:33,140 --> 01:39:35,575
[tense music playing]
1796
01:39:35,708 --> 01:39:38,745
The baron is honored
to have you stay at his home
1797
01:39:38,878 --> 01:39:40,647
- for this occasion.
- Thank you.
1798
01:39:40,780 --> 01:39:42,682
Please let him know
how much we appreciate it.
1799
01:39:42,815 --> 01:39:46,653
Uh... [chuckles] The goldfish.
1800
01:39:46,786 --> 01:39:50,357
It seems that the baron's son
is very attached to it.
1801
01:39:50,490 --> 01:39:53,360
It needs to be fed
twice every day.
1802
01:39:53,493 --> 01:39:55,862
Well, I will, uh,
do it personally.
1803
01:39:55,995 --> 01:39:57,997
[Nancy chuckles]
1804
01:39:59,099 --> 01:40:02,102
There are a few things
I can do myself, you know?
1805
01:40:09,142 --> 01:40:11,211
- [aide] They've arrived.
- Oh.
1806
01:40:11,344 --> 01:40:13,313
Oh, then... Yes.
1807
01:40:15,014 --> 01:40:16,316
Here we go.
1808
01:40:16,449 --> 01:40:18,551
Oh, no. Coat off.
1809
01:40:18,685 --> 01:40:20,320
It's below freezing out there.
1810
01:40:20,453 --> 01:40:22,622
The whole world is watching
this meeting, George.
1811
01:40:22,755 --> 01:40:25,725
He needs to look his best,
and that overcoat
is not working.
1812
01:40:25,858 --> 01:40:27,460
Well, you guys
are in charge of policy,
1813
01:40:27,594 --> 01:40:30,397
but even the leader
of the free world has a boss,
1814
01:40:30,530 --> 01:40:33,966
- and she's in charge
of presentation.
- [chuckles]
1815
01:40:36,336 --> 01:40:38,271
[Viktor] And before
the summit had begun,
1816
01:40:38,438 --> 01:40:41,808
we found ourselves already
at a disadvantage,
1817
01:40:41,974 --> 01:40:45,512
as the President looked better
than the General Secretary.
1818
01:40:45,645 --> 01:40:50,683
[indistinct chatter]
1819
01:40:51,818 --> 01:40:54,521
[speaking Russian]
1820
01:40:54,654 --> 01:40:57,557
- Let me state at the outset.
- [continues in Russian]
1821
01:40:57,690 --> 01:40:59,726
You should have no illusions
1822
01:40:59,859 --> 01:41:01,861
that you can bankrupt us.
1823
01:41:02,028 --> 01:41:04,597
[Viktor] The Crusader
took it all in stride...
1824
01:41:04,764 --> 01:41:08,535
- We can match you on land...
- ...hearing it
for what it was.
1825
01:41:08,668 --> 01:41:12,672
- [speaking Russian]
- [interpreter]
...and air and space.
1826
01:41:13,473 --> 01:41:14,774
[speaking Russian]
1827
01:41:14,941 --> 01:41:16,776
[Viktor] Mandatory messaging
from the Party.
1828
01:41:18,245 --> 01:41:19,779
[clears throat]
1829
01:41:19,912 --> 01:41:21,448
As I see it,
1830
01:41:21,581 --> 01:41:26,085
we don't mistrust each other
because we're armed.
1831
01:41:26,219 --> 01:41:28,020
- [translating in Russian]
- We're armed
1832
01:41:28,155 --> 01:41:30,690
because we mistrust each other.
1833
01:41:32,492 --> 01:41:36,062
But I think that we both agree
on the most important thing.
1834
01:41:36,763 --> 01:41:40,433
A nuclear war can never be won
1835
01:41:40,567 --> 01:41:42,869
and must never be fought.
1836
01:41:43,002 --> 01:41:46,406
- [translating in Russian]
- [soft music playing]
1837
01:41:46,539 --> 01:41:48,107
He's definitely ambiguous.
1838
01:41:48,241 --> 01:41:50,577
It's perfectly clear, there's
nothing ambiguous about it.
1839
01:41:50,710 --> 01:41:52,779
You come out ahead
as you usually do.
1840
01:41:52,912 --> 01:41:56,316
Violation after violation
of SALT I and II.
1841
01:41:56,449 --> 01:41:59,786
Violation? This is nothing more
than you militarizing space.
1842
01:41:59,919 --> 01:42:02,389
[indistinct,
overlapping chatter]
1843
01:42:02,522 --> 01:42:05,558
["This Is How The World Ends"
playing]
1844
01:42:05,725 --> 01:42:10,163
[Viktor] I saw a gentle smile
that never left his face.
1845
01:42:11,298 --> 01:42:15,468
He was disarming,
but still he was the zealot
1846
01:42:15,635 --> 01:42:17,870
that called us an Evil Empire.
1847
01:42:18,037 --> 01:42:20,340
And we could not let
our guard down.
1848
01:42:20,473 --> 01:42:23,776
You know, I used to do
a little acting
1849
01:42:23,910 --> 01:42:26,346
a couple hundred years ago
back in Hollywood.
1850
01:42:26,479 --> 01:42:29,015
Let me show you how we used
to handle this sort of thing.
1851
01:42:37,790 --> 01:42:38,758
Take two.
1852
01:42:41,828 --> 01:42:44,030
Hello, Mikhail.
My name's Ron.
1853
01:42:48,668 --> 01:42:50,670
How would you like to go
for a little walk?
1854
01:42:55,575 --> 01:42:59,812
[indistinct chatter]
1855
01:43:04,284 --> 01:43:06,219
[Gorbachev] What they say
about you, Mr. President,
1856
01:43:06,353 --> 01:43:09,489
"He picks your pocket
and makes you
feel good about it."
1857
01:43:09,622 --> 01:43:13,726
Well, I've had much worse
said about me before, way worse.
1858
01:43:13,860 --> 01:43:16,329
As have I. Hazard of our job.
1859
01:43:18,665 --> 01:43:20,132
I want to let you know
1860
01:43:21,033 --> 01:43:23,703
that we seek
the same thing, Mikhail.
1861
01:43:24,704 --> 01:43:26,038
Do we, Ron?
1862
01:43:27,006 --> 01:43:29,242
We are not here
because we need to be.
1863
01:43:29,376 --> 01:43:32,011
We desire peace,
just as you do.
1864
01:43:32,879 --> 01:43:36,182
But your proposal
is not so simple.
1865
01:43:36,316 --> 01:43:39,519
Oh, actually,
it is very simple.
1866
01:43:40,887 --> 01:43:42,188
It's just not easy.
1867
01:43:43,823 --> 01:43:48,361
But I believe that you and I,
we can do it.
1868
01:43:48,495 --> 01:43:50,263
In fact, we must.
1869
01:43:51,130 --> 01:43:52,432
The world demands it.
1870
01:43:52,565 --> 01:43:54,601
And after all,
isn't that who we work for?
1871
01:43:54,734 --> 01:43:57,337
The people and the man upstairs.
1872
01:43:57,470 --> 01:44:00,172
Ah. The man upstairs.
1873
01:44:01,408 --> 01:44:04,076
My grandmother
was a Christian woman,
1874
01:44:04,210 --> 01:44:06,178
go to church every day.
1875
01:44:06,313 --> 01:44:07,914
And after, would say,
1876
01:44:08,047 --> 01:44:10,450
"Mikhail,
I went to church today.
1877
01:44:10,583 --> 01:44:12,852
I prayed for the atheist.
1878
01:44:12,985 --> 01:44:14,921
I prayed for you."
1879
01:44:15,054 --> 01:44:18,425
Well, I think that
your grandmother and my mother
1880
01:44:18,558 --> 01:44:20,360
could have been
very good friends.
1881
01:44:22,094 --> 01:44:23,563
[Russian official]
So you're the Tiger Man.
1882
01:44:23,696 --> 01:44:25,898
Excuse me? Tiger Man?
1883
01:44:26,032 --> 01:44:28,701
I like American baseball,
very much.
1884
01:44:28,835 --> 01:44:30,236
Oh, yeah?
Who's your favorite team?
1885
01:44:30,370 --> 01:44:32,405
New York Yankees. And you?
1886
01:44:32,539 --> 01:44:34,574
Uh, St. Louis Cardinals.
1887
01:44:35,608 --> 01:44:38,077
Game 7, World Series.
1888
01:44:38,210 --> 01:44:41,581
Very sorry, but what series?
1889
01:44:41,714 --> 01:44:44,384
Oh, next time you're
in the States, I'll make sure
you get to a game.
1890
01:44:46,453 --> 01:44:48,588
No, no, no, no.
Let them talk.
1891
01:44:48,721 --> 01:44:50,557
You go in there, you're fired.
1892
01:44:54,093 --> 01:44:55,161
Tiger Man.
1893
01:44:56,295 --> 01:44:57,797
My proposal...
1894
01:44:59,065 --> 01:44:59,999
is this.
1895
01:45:00,800 --> 01:45:02,635
That you and I,
1896
01:45:02,769 --> 01:45:05,772
by the time that I leave office,
1897
01:45:05,905 --> 01:45:10,142
can reduce
our missile counts by half.
1898
01:45:11,444 --> 01:45:12,345
Hmm.
1899
01:45:14,280 --> 01:45:16,449
I'm not a patient man either.
1900
01:45:17,884 --> 01:45:20,587
I do not intend to leave office
1901
01:45:20,720 --> 01:45:22,154
before they are gone,
1902
01:45:22,989 --> 01:45:23,990
completely.
1903
01:45:25,992 --> 01:45:28,961
[hopeful music playing]
1904
01:45:39,739 --> 01:45:40,973
[Reagan] Oh, no.
1905
01:45:41,107 --> 01:45:42,942
Honey, look what I've done.
1906
01:45:43,075 --> 01:45:44,310
Oh, dear.
1907
01:45:44,444 --> 01:45:45,945
Maybe we can find another one.
1908
01:45:46,078 --> 01:45:48,881
Uh, Mr. President, we-we go live
in five-five minutes.
1909
01:45:49,015 --> 01:45:50,883
Oh, I-I think we should
find another one.
1910
01:45:51,017 --> 01:45:52,184
Oh, no!
1911
01:45:52,318 --> 01:45:54,353
Every kid knows his goldfish.
1912
01:45:54,487 --> 01:45:55,822
I'm gonna write him a note.
1913
01:45:55,955 --> 01:45:57,356
W-we need to go now.
1914
01:45:57,490 --> 01:45:59,826
I mean, the entire world
is waiting.
1915
01:45:59,959 --> 01:46:01,694
The world can wait.
1916
01:46:01,828 --> 01:46:04,296
I'm going to write him a note.
1917
01:46:04,431 --> 01:46:08,501
- [grunts, mouths] Nancy...
- That's my Ronnie.
1918
01:46:08,668 --> 01:46:12,038
- We have to wait.
- [Viktor] Nothing
was really agreed to yet
1919
01:46:12,204 --> 01:46:13,973
beyond agreeing to meet again.
1920
01:46:14,140 --> 01:46:18,044
But the Soviet Union and USA
were talking to one another
1921
01:46:18,210 --> 01:46:20,379
instead of at one another.
1922
01:46:20,513 --> 01:46:23,983
- [indistinct]
- [camera shutter clicking]
1923
01:46:24,116 --> 01:46:28,655
[hopeful music playing]
1924
01:46:33,860 --> 01:46:38,030
[Viktor] Reagan's allies
against us included the Pope,
1925
01:46:38,197 --> 01:46:40,467
Thatcher, the Iron Lady,
1926
01:46:40,633 --> 01:46:45,171
and leaders of West Germany
and Japan, Cole and Nakasone.
1927
01:46:45,304 --> 01:46:47,239
We stand firmly behind you.
1928
01:46:48,541 --> 01:46:50,910
When you speak
with Secretary Gorbachev,
1929
01:46:52,479 --> 01:46:55,281
you are speaking
for us in free world.
1930
01:46:55,448 --> 01:46:56,749
[Reagan] Well, we understand
1931
01:46:56,883 --> 01:46:59,719
that you are surrounded
by communists,
1932
01:46:59,852 --> 01:47:02,388
and we appreciate
you standing with us.
1933
01:47:02,555 --> 01:47:04,657
[Nakasone] Be careful. Remember,
1934
01:47:04,824 --> 01:47:09,228
communists have no problem
with lying to achieve
their goals.
1935
01:47:09,361 --> 01:47:12,932
They are testing you
to see if you will stand firm.
1936
01:47:13,099 --> 01:47:16,268
Don't worry. I dealt
with these guys
back in Hollywood.
1937
01:47:16,435 --> 01:47:18,638
I even have the scars
on my back to prove it.
1938
01:47:18,771 --> 01:47:20,272
And I promise you,
1939
01:47:21,373 --> 01:47:22,875
we're not going to lose.
1940
01:47:24,577 --> 01:47:28,080
[reporter] In other news,
President Reagan has landed
in Reykjavík, Iceland
1941
01:47:28,247 --> 01:47:32,084
to continue discussions
with Soviet Premier Gorbachev
over nuclear disarmament.
1942
01:47:33,385 --> 01:47:36,088
Fifty percent
across the board reduction.
1943
01:47:36,222 --> 01:47:40,993
All weapons groups,
tactical, INF, ICBM.
1944
01:47:41,127 --> 01:47:45,231
In exchange, suspension
of your Strategic
Defense Initiative.
1945
01:47:45,364 --> 01:47:48,234
"Star Wars," some refer to it.
1946
01:47:50,537 --> 01:47:51,671
Counter proposal.
1947
01:47:53,573 --> 01:47:57,443
We share all SDI technology,
1948
01:47:58,410 --> 01:47:59,812
we develop it together,
1949
01:48:00,647 --> 01:48:02,515
we'll even pay for it.
1950
01:48:02,649 --> 01:48:06,519
And we eliminate
all ballistic missiles
1951
01:48:06,653 --> 01:48:09,188
in ten years. Together.
1952
01:48:09,321 --> 01:48:12,659
You refuse to share
oil-drilling technology
1953
01:48:12,792 --> 01:48:14,293
and you offer this?
1954
01:48:14,426 --> 01:48:19,165
SDI is a completely
defensive system.
1955
01:48:22,301 --> 01:48:24,270
This is the line,
Mr. President.
1956
01:48:25,304 --> 01:48:26,539
If you walk away,
1957
01:48:27,439 --> 01:48:29,809
you will have missed the chance
of going down in history
1958
01:48:29,942 --> 01:48:33,880
as the president
who paved the way
for nuclear disarmament.
1959
01:48:34,013 --> 01:48:37,817
How will you explain this
to your "free people?"
1960
01:48:39,485 --> 01:48:40,953
Mr. President,
1961
01:48:41,087 --> 01:48:45,024
I'm offering you the biggest win
of your presidency.
1962
01:48:46,993 --> 01:48:49,061
Just drop SDI.
1963
01:48:50,262 --> 01:48:51,698
[tense music playing]
1964
01:48:51,831 --> 01:48:53,365
[exhales deeply]
1965
01:49:13,886 --> 01:49:14,854
Nyet.
1966
01:49:17,890 --> 01:49:18,758
[thuds]
1967
01:49:18,891 --> 01:49:20,259
Let's go, George.
1968
01:49:28,334 --> 01:49:31,070
You would lose the whole deal
over this one thing?
1969
01:49:31,203 --> 01:49:32,571
This is a fair offer.
1970
01:49:33,906 --> 01:49:35,608
As was mine.
1971
01:49:35,742 --> 01:49:37,710
I don't know what more
I could have done.
1972
01:49:37,844 --> 01:49:38,878
[exhales]
1973
01:49:40,479 --> 01:49:42,081
You could have said yes.
1974
01:49:46,352 --> 01:49:49,388
[Viktor] After he walked away
from the negotiating table,
1975
01:49:49,555 --> 01:49:52,158
we were in a very dark place.
1976
01:49:52,324 --> 01:49:54,060
We knew it was over,
1977
01:49:54,226 --> 01:49:56,896
unless something
extraordinary happened.
1978
01:50:00,566 --> 01:50:04,603
We've intercepted
two more shipments
of Soviet RPGs and AK-47s
1979
01:50:04,737 --> 01:50:07,106
coming out of Cuba,
headed for Nicaragua.
1980
01:50:07,940 --> 01:50:10,276
The freedom fighters
are holed up in the mountains.
1981
01:50:10,409 --> 01:50:12,779
It's David and Goliath,
but they're making a go of it.
1982
01:50:13,946 --> 01:50:15,547
Well, I like these guys.
1983
01:50:15,682 --> 01:50:19,051
They remind me of Washington
and the Continental Army.
1984
01:50:19,185 --> 01:50:20,552
What do they need?
1985
01:50:20,687 --> 01:50:22,454
What do they always need?
1986
01:50:22,588 --> 01:50:24,223
Band-Aids, guns, and money.
1987
01:50:25,357 --> 01:50:27,259
Well, give them what they want.
1988
01:50:27,393 --> 01:50:31,097
Mr. President,
we won't have the Congress
with us on this one.
1989
01:50:32,031 --> 01:50:33,165
[exhales deeply]
1990
01:50:40,807 --> 01:50:43,242
[judge] And nothing
but the truth, so help you God?
1991
01:50:43,409 --> 01:50:44,677
- I do.
- Please be seated.
1992
01:50:45,778 --> 01:50:47,980
[Viktor] The American Congress
had said no
1993
01:50:48,147 --> 01:50:51,117
to giving money to his friends
in Nicaragua.
1994
01:50:51,283 --> 01:50:54,653
And The Crusader had hostages
in the Middle East
1995
01:50:54,821 --> 01:50:56,622
and needed to free them.
1996
01:50:56,789 --> 01:51:01,894
But it was American policy
never to negotiate
with terrorists.
1997
01:51:02,061 --> 01:51:05,331
But somewhere,
a plan was hatched.
1998
01:51:10,770 --> 01:51:15,041
Reagan's Iran-Contra situation
comes down to this.
1999
01:51:15,174 --> 01:51:17,777
What did the president know,
and when did he know it?
2000
01:51:17,910 --> 01:51:21,347
And if you, people of the press,
want any more answers,
2001
01:51:21,480 --> 01:51:23,482
you ask President Reagan.
2002
01:51:23,649 --> 01:51:26,352
[Viktor] Five decades
of his struggle against us
2003
01:51:26,518 --> 01:51:31,490
and it came down
to whether he could survive
a domestic scandal.
2004
01:51:31,623 --> 01:51:35,527
In spite of the wildly
speculative and false reports,
2005
01:51:35,661 --> 01:51:39,198
we do not negotiate
with terrorists
2006
01:51:39,331 --> 01:51:41,633
and we did not trade arms
2007
01:51:41,768 --> 01:51:44,070
- for hostages.
- [reporters indistinct]
2008
01:51:44,236 --> 01:51:46,939
[reporter] These accusations
are potentially
impeachable offenses.
2009
01:51:47,106 --> 01:51:50,209
And if true, some observers
believe his presidency
2010
01:51:50,376 --> 01:51:51,878
could be hanging
in the balance.
2011
01:51:52,044 --> 01:51:54,881
For W News 4
at the White House,
I'm Carl Long.
2012
01:52:01,187 --> 01:52:04,156
[tense music playing]
2013
01:52:05,391 --> 01:52:08,260
Ronnie, you have
to do something.
2014
01:52:09,161 --> 01:52:10,162
Have you seen this?
2015
01:52:11,363 --> 01:52:12,731
[Reagan] Yes, I've seen it.
2016
01:52:12,865 --> 01:52:14,533
[Nancy] Are you listening
to these people?
2017
01:52:15,367 --> 01:52:18,104
They want nothing more
than to see you burn.
2018
01:52:18,237 --> 01:52:21,841
You know, they may smile
and call you "Mr. President,"
but they hate you.
2019
01:52:21,974 --> 01:52:24,877
They hate what you say,
what you believe in,
who you are.
2020
01:52:25,011 --> 01:52:26,745
Honey, I just can't accept that.
2021
01:52:26,879 --> 01:52:29,581
No, no, you never could.
2022
01:52:29,715 --> 01:52:32,684
You're the optimist.
You're the one who wants
to see the good in people.
2023
01:52:32,819 --> 01:52:35,855
But it's my job to see
through them and protect you.
2024
01:52:35,988 --> 01:52:39,058
Well, that's why
we're such a good team.
2025
01:52:39,859 --> 01:52:41,360
[mutters]
2026
01:52:41,493 --> 01:52:45,464
Honey, you know Washington.
You know the way it works.
2027
01:52:45,597 --> 01:52:48,434
- It's politics, that's all.
- Ronnie, they're
talking impeachment!
2028
01:52:48,567 --> 01:52:52,604
- No impeachment.
- Yes, they wanna destroy you!
2029
01:52:52,738 --> 01:52:55,808
They're putting you on trial,
removing you from office!
2030
01:52:55,942 --> 01:52:57,810
This isn't about
politics anymore.
2031
01:52:57,944 --> 01:52:59,245
This is about you.
2032
01:53:00,246 --> 01:53:03,249
Everything is at stake.
One more headline,
2033
01:53:03,382 --> 01:53:06,118
one more star witness,
one more arrest,
and they will do it.
2034
01:53:06,252 --> 01:53:08,554
I have cooperated with them.
2035
01:53:08,687 --> 01:53:10,722
I appointed
a special prosecutor.
2036
01:53:10,857 --> 01:53:13,759
I've turned over
every document I have.
2037
01:53:13,893 --> 01:53:15,627
What would you have me do?
2038
01:53:15,761 --> 01:53:17,496
I want you to fight
2039
01:53:17,629 --> 01:53:19,465
or this is all over!
2040
01:53:21,467 --> 01:53:22,768
[sighs]
2041
01:53:26,238 --> 01:53:27,907
[grunts]
2042
01:53:28,040 --> 01:53:30,409
[horse whinnying in distance]
2043
01:53:30,542 --> 01:53:32,111
You could always hire someone.
2044
01:53:32,244 --> 01:53:33,145
Ha!
2045
01:53:33,946 --> 01:53:36,515
Why, you looking
for work? [grunts]
2046
01:53:36,648 --> 01:53:38,184
I got a job for you
2047
01:53:39,318 --> 01:53:40,920
back in Washington.
2048
01:53:41,053 --> 01:53:44,023
You're the president.
You could always
order me back there.
2049
01:53:46,092 --> 01:53:48,594
Are they gonna impeach me, Bill?
2050
01:53:48,727 --> 01:53:51,330
Well, it's moving
in that direction, sir.
2051
01:53:53,832 --> 01:53:55,968
Mr. President,
you're my friend.
2052
01:53:56,102 --> 01:53:58,337
I can only speak
to you straight.
2053
01:53:58,470 --> 01:54:01,007
Some laws got broken,
for sure,
2054
01:54:01,140 --> 01:54:04,210
whether you broke them
or somebody else did.
2055
01:54:04,343 --> 01:54:07,646
So now you're clamming up
and lawyering up.
2056
01:54:07,779 --> 01:54:09,348
It's the wrong move.
2057
01:54:09,481 --> 01:54:11,650
It confuses everybody,
even the ones that love you.
2058
01:54:13,252 --> 01:54:14,786
People are thinking
that maybe you're...
2059
01:54:14,921 --> 01:54:16,288
I'm losing it? Yeah.
2060
01:54:17,656 --> 01:54:18,690
I've heard it.
2061
01:54:23,262 --> 01:54:26,032
What do you think
I should do, Judge?
2062
01:54:26,165 --> 01:54:27,666
What you do best.
2063
01:54:27,799 --> 01:54:29,001
Tell 'em the truth.
2064
01:54:32,004 --> 01:54:33,572
[horse whinnying]
2065
01:54:52,291 --> 01:54:54,893
[Reagan] A few months ago,
I told the American people
2066
01:54:55,027 --> 01:54:57,829
that I did not trade arms
for hostages.
2067
01:54:57,964 --> 01:55:01,900
My heart and my best intentions
still tell me that's true
2068
01:55:02,034 --> 01:55:05,904
but the facts and the evidence
tell me it is not.
2069
01:55:06,038 --> 01:55:10,242
Now, what should happen
when you make a mistake is this.
2070
01:55:10,376 --> 01:55:13,745
You take your knocks,
you put things in perspective,
2071
01:55:13,879 --> 01:55:16,082
you pull your energies together,
2072
01:55:16,215 --> 01:55:19,118
you make changes,
and you go forward.
2073
01:55:19,986 --> 01:55:21,187
[Viktor] Americans.
2074
01:55:21,320 --> 01:55:23,189
You do them wrong,
you'll pay for it.
2075
01:55:23,855 --> 01:55:28,027
But look them in the eye,
admit you made a mistake,
2076
01:55:28,160 --> 01:55:30,229
they forgive you every time.
2077
01:55:37,569 --> 01:55:40,872
[grunts, exhales]
2078
01:55:45,244 --> 01:55:46,979
[Andrei] He was president.
2079
01:55:47,113 --> 01:55:48,814
He had to know.
2080
01:55:51,450 --> 01:55:54,386
[chuckles]
He was still the lifeguard.
2081
01:55:54,520 --> 01:55:56,788
He was going to get
his people home.
2082
01:55:58,590 --> 01:56:01,093
[soft music playing]
2083
01:56:01,227 --> 01:56:05,064
I'm not pleased with you, Ron.
Let's just get that said
right up front.
2084
01:56:06,065 --> 01:56:08,234
Well, I can't imagine
how I've upset you, Margaret.
2085
01:56:08,367 --> 01:56:10,569
Are we gonna go
over Grenada again?
2086
01:56:10,702 --> 01:56:13,139
Well, you're certainly
not walking away
2087
01:56:13,272 --> 01:56:15,641
from what happened
at Reykjavík...
2088
01:56:15,774 --> 01:56:17,909
- No.
- Looks like
you're picking a fight.
2089
01:56:18,044 --> 01:56:21,113
No, but I'm not afraid of one.
2090
01:56:21,247 --> 01:56:24,650
Perhaps that is why
Mitterrand calls you
2091
01:56:24,783 --> 01:56:27,253
a "dangerous cowboy."
2092
01:56:28,420 --> 01:56:29,321
Well,
2093
01:56:30,289 --> 01:56:32,858
at least I have
Margaret Thatcher on my side.
2094
01:56:38,497 --> 01:56:40,799
- He wants to say it.
- He does, but we'll
never get it past Shultz.
2095
01:56:40,932 --> 01:56:43,335
I mean, it's the one thing
they don't want him
talking about.
2096
01:56:43,469 --> 01:56:45,137
My family in Germany
is talking about it.
2097
01:56:45,271 --> 01:56:47,473
Everybody is talking about it.
He needs to talk about it.
2098
01:56:47,606 --> 01:56:49,708
He's going to Camp David,
then he's back here for a day,
2099
01:56:49,841 --> 01:56:53,945
then he's going to Europe.
We have one shot
to have him say this.
2100
01:56:54,080 --> 01:56:55,547
It's now or never.
2101
01:57:00,852 --> 01:57:02,354
[breathes deeply]
2102
01:57:02,488 --> 01:57:04,290
[whirring]
2103
01:57:09,495 --> 01:57:11,663
Hey, give me this!
I-I'll take that. Thank you.
2104
01:57:13,365 --> 01:57:14,966
Mr. President,
some light reading.
2105
01:57:16,535 --> 01:57:17,803
- Shh!
- [Nancy chuckles]
2106
01:57:23,442 --> 01:57:24,643
[Nancy] Good afternoon.
2107
01:57:27,446 --> 01:57:30,382
Hello, fellas, good day to fly.
2108
01:57:30,516 --> 01:57:31,917
No barrel rolls though.
2109
01:57:46,632 --> 01:57:49,901
[hopeful music playing]
2110
01:58:11,757 --> 01:58:13,892
Well, I think that's
a First Lady question, actually.
2111
01:58:14,025 --> 01:58:16,895
Why would you do this
to Gorbachev?
2112
01:58:17,028 --> 01:58:19,431
You know how long it's taken us
to get to this.
2113
01:58:19,565 --> 01:58:21,066
They're at the table.
They're ready to make a deal
2114
01:58:21,200 --> 01:58:22,801
and you wanna embarrass him?
2115
01:58:22,934 --> 01:58:25,737
Gorbachev's the first friend
we've had over there
in 70 years!
2116
01:58:25,871 --> 01:58:28,106
- [door closes]
- [sighs] You can't say this.
2117
01:58:28,240 --> 01:58:30,809
I'm-I'm begging you
to listen to me.
2118
01:58:30,942 --> 01:58:34,313
You know, I stood by you
with SDI when it was ridiculed.
2119
01:58:34,446 --> 01:58:36,315
I supported you
with the Contras.
2120
01:58:36,448 --> 01:58:39,418
I even walked out of Reykjavík
with egg on my face.
2121
01:58:39,551 --> 01:58:42,288
But this goes too far.
2122
01:58:42,421 --> 01:58:44,223
This is worse than Evil Empire.
2123
01:58:44,356 --> 01:58:47,493
You're gonna blow up Geneva,
you blow up eight years
of diplomacy.
2124
01:58:47,626 --> 01:58:50,095
We'll be right back
where we started from, or worse!
2125
01:58:53,399 --> 01:58:55,667
"Clarity is power."
2126
01:58:55,801 --> 01:58:58,970
You know, a very great man
once said that to me.
2127
01:59:00,439 --> 01:59:02,274
What are we here for, George...
2128
01:59:03,975 --> 01:59:05,143
but to win?
2129
01:59:10,782 --> 01:59:13,285
[soft music playing]
2130
01:59:13,419 --> 01:59:16,121
[Reagan]
Behind me stands a wall.
2131
01:59:16,955 --> 01:59:19,791
Part of a vast system
of barriers
2132
01:59:19,925 --> 01:59:22,794
that divide the entire continent
of Europe.
2133
01:59:22,928 --> 01:59:27,433
A gash of barbed wire, concrete,
2134
01:59:27,566 --> 01:59:30,436
dogs, and guard towers,
2135
01:59:30,569 --> 01:59:34,540
imposing the will
of a totalitarian state.
2136
01:59:35,574 --> 01:59:37,709
As long as this gate is closed
2137
01:59:37,843 --> 01:59:40,679
and this scar
is permitted to stand,
2138
01:59:40,812 --> 01:59:45,116
there is a question of freedom
for all mankind.
2139
01:59:45,251 --> 01:59:48,019
[cheering, applauding]
2140
01:59:53,492 --> 01:59:56,928
[Reagan] The totalitarian world
produces backwardness
2141
01:59:57,095 --> 02:00:01,267
because it does such violence
to the spirit.
2142
02:00:01,433 --> 02:00:06,838
Thwarting the human impulse
to create, to enjoy,
even to worship.
2143
02:00:07,773 --> 02:00:11,243
Here in Berlin,
like the city itself,
2144
02:00:11,377 --> 02:00:15,180
symbols of love,
symbols of worship
2145
02:00:15,314 --> 02:00:17,316
cannot be suppressed.
2146
02:00:17,449 --> 02:00:20,319
[whooping, cheering]
2147
02:00:24,890 --> 02:00:28,860
There is one sign
that the Soviets can make,
2148
02:00:28,994 --> 02:00:33,164
that would unmistakably
and dramatically advance
2149
02:00:33,299 --> 02:00:35,534
the cause of freedom and peace.
2150
02:00:36,635 --> 02:00:38,804
General Secretary Gorbachev,
2151
02:00:38,970 --> 02:00:41,172
if you seek peace,
2152
02:00:41,340 --> 02:00:44,676
if you seek liberalization
and change,
2153
02:00:44,843 --> 02:00:47,112
come here to this gate.
2154
02:00:47,245 --> 02:00:48,714
[crowd cheering]
2155
02:00:49,481 --> 02:00:51,750
Mr. Gorbachev,
2156
02:00:51,883 --> 02:00:53,619
open this gate.
2157
02:00:55,186 --> 02:00:56,522
Is he gonna say it?
2158
02:01:02,361 --> 02:01:04,530
Mr. Gorbachev,
2159
02:01:04,663 --> 02:01:07,065
tear down this wall.
2160
02:01:07,198 --> 02:01:09,968

02:01:13,038 --> 02:01:14,773
Whoo!

02:01:14,906 --> 02:01:17,709
[yells] Whoo!
2163
02:01:17,843 --> 02:01:19,077
[laughs]

[whooping, yelling]
2165
02:01:27,453 --> 02:01:29,421
Well done, cowboy.

02:01:32,057 --> 02:01:33,792

[Viktor] In the chess game
of the Cold War,
2169
02:02:11,597 --> 02:02:12,998
it was checkmate.
2170
02:02:20,238 --> 02:02:21,807
["Sweet Child O' Mine" playing]
2171
02:02:21,973 --> 02:02:23,775
[reporter 1] The unimaginable
is happening
2172
02:02:23,942 --> 02:02:25,777
right now in Berlin.
2173
02:02:25,944 --> 02:02:27,312
[reporter 2]
Shocking developments overnight
2174
02:02:27,479 --> 02:02:28,980
as East Germany
announced its citizens
2175
02:02:29,147 --> 02:02:31,282
can travel freely
to West Germany.
2176
02:02:31,450 --> 02:02:34,119
[reporter 3] What no one thought
could happen
2177
02:02:34,285 --> 02:02:36,054
is happening right now.

[crowd cheering]
2179
02:03:04,616 --> 02:03:07,519
[reporter] Within hours,
the city erupted in celebration
2180
02:03:07,686 --> 02:03:10,121
as East and West Germans
took hammers to the wall
2181
02:03:10,288 --> 02:03:12,424
that had separated them
for 30 years.
2182
02:03:12,558 --> 02:03:16,662
[crowd cheering]
2183
02:03:22,701 --> 02:03:26,037
[Viktor] Two years,
after the wall fell,
2184
02:03:26,204 --> 02:03:28,173
the Soviet Union was no more.
2185
02:03:31,810 --> 02:03:33,879
I knew he was the one.
2186
02:03:35,481 --> 02:03:38,684
He was the one
who would bring us down.
2187
02:03:38,817 --> 02:03:43,054
Not with missiles or guns
or even politics.
2188
02:03:43,188 --> 02:03:44,890
Something much greater.
2189
02:03:45,824 --> 02:03:47,593
[soft music playing]

[horse whinnying]
2191
02:03:51,196 --> 02:03:54,700
[Viktor] People will not give
their lives for power,
2192
02:03:54,833 --> 02:03:57,603
or a State, or even ideology.
2193
02:03:59,037 --> 02:04:01,907
People give their lives
for one another,
2194
02:04:03,441 --> 02:04:07,245
for the freedom to live
those lives as they choose
and for God.

We took that away.

02:04:18,423 --> 02:04:19,591
gave it back to them.
2198
02:04:31,036 --> 02:04:33,772
And that is the answer
to your question.

[Viktor] Take it.

Thank you.
2203

Good night.
2204
02:05:37,302 --> 02:05:39,070
What's going on there,
Mr. President?
2205
02:05:42,040 --> 02:05:43,909
This means something to me.
2206
02:05:46,044 --> 02:05:47,713
[Nancy] I know
what you're saying, John,
2207
02:05:48,680 --> 02:05:50,381
but I'm not gonna do it.
2208
02:05:50,515 --> 02:05:53,084
Ma'am, I need you to tell him
we can't do this anymore.
2209
02:05:53,218 --> 02:05:56,021
I can't. I can't. I can't do it.
2210
02:05:57,823 --> 02:05:59,357
He got lost yesterday.
2211
02:06:00,158 --> 02:06:01,860
I couldn't find him
for half an hour.
2212
02:06:02,728 --> 02:06:05,764
Horses know when a rider
doesn't know what he's doing,
okay? He's...
2213
02:06:06,998 --> 02:06:08,333
He's gonna get thrown again.
2214
02:06:09,835 --> 02:06:12,503
I can't tell him
that he can't ride anymore.
2215
02:06:14,973 --> 02:06:16,441
He loves it too much.
2216
02:06:18,309 --> 02:06:19,244
Please.
2217
02:06:23,081 --> 02:06:24,049
Okay.
2218
02:06:30,488 --> 02:06:32,257
He loves you more, ma'am.
2219
02:06:39,030 --> 02:06:42,100
[door opens, closes]
2220
02:06:52,077 --> 02:06:53,244
Mr. President?
2221
02:06:55,881 --> 02:06:57,248
What is it, John?
2222
02:07:00,451 --> 02:07:01,486
You know, uh...
2223
02:07:03,054 --> 02:07:06,291
I don't think we're having
as much fun riding
as we used to.
2224
02:07:07,458 --> 02:07:09,627
Oh, the agent on, uh... [sniffs]
2225
02:07:09,761 --> 02:07:12,130
- On Mrs. Reagan, she is...
- What do you want, John?
2226
02:07:17,302 --> 02:07:18,670
Mr. President, I don't--
2227
02:07:20,038 --> 02:07:21,840
I don't think
we should ride anymore.
2228
02:07:24,876 --> 02:07:25,777
Oh.
2229
02:07:30,749 --> 02:07:32,483
[sighs deeply]
2230
02:07:52,938 --> 02:07:54,039
[pats saddle]
2231
02:07:54,172 --> 02:07:55,273
One more ride.
2232
02:07:59,110 --> 02:08:00,478
Yes, sir, Mr. President.
2233
02:08:06,484 --> 02:08:07,385
Mm.
2234
02:08:11,322 --> 02:08:16,694
["Take Me Home,
Country Roads" playing]
2235
02:08:47,692 --> 02:08:49,727
[Reagan] My fellow Americans.
2236
02:08:49,895 --> 02:08:53,899
I have recently been told
that I am one of the millions
of Americans
2237
02:08:54,065 --> 02:08:57,668
who will be afflicted
with Alzheimer's disease.
2238
02:08:57,836 --> 02:09:01,439
At the moment,
I feel just fine.
2239
02:09:01,439 --> 02:09:05,043
I intend to live the remainder
of the years God gives me
2240
02:09:05,210 --> 02:09:07,245
doing the things
I have always done.
2241
02:09:08,346 --> 02:09:12,417
Unfortunately,
as Alzheimer's disease
progresses,
2242
02:09:12,583 --> 02:09:15,921
the family often bears
a heavy burden.
2243
02:09:16,087 --> 02:09:19,490
I only wish there was some way
I could spare Nancy
2244
02:09:19,657 --> 02:09:22,894
from this painful experience.
2245
02:09:23,061 --> 02:09:25,163
I will continue to share
life's journey
2246
02:09:25,330 --> 02:09:28,599
with my beloved Nancy
and my family.
2247
02:09:28,766 --> 02:09:31,169
I plan to enjoy
the great outdoors
2248
02:09:31,336 --> 02:09:34,739
and stay in touch
with my friends
and supporters.
2249
02:09:36,007 --> 02:09:37,708
When the time comes,
2250
02:09:37,876 --> 02:09:40,846
I am confident
that with your help,
2251
02:09:41,012 --> 02:09:43,414
she will face it
with faith and courage.
2252
02:10:49,780 --> 02:10:53,851
In closing, let me thank you,
the American people,
2253
02:10:54,019 --> 02:10:56,121
for giving me the great honor
2254
02:10:56,287 --> 02:10:58,890
of allowing me to serve
as your president.
2255
02:10:59,824 --> 02:11:04,029
When the Lord calls me home,
whenever that may be,
2256
02:11:04,195 --> 02:11:07,532
I will leave with
the greatest love
for this country of ours
2257
02:11:07,698 --> 02:11:11,302
and eternal optimism
for its future.
2258
02:11:11,469 --> 02:11:16,007
I now begin the journey
that will lead me
into the sunset of my life.
2259
02:11:16,141 --> 02:11:17,943
I know that for America,
2260
02:11:18,109 --> 02:11:21,212
there will always be
a bright new dawn ahead.
2261
02:11:22,180 --> 02:11:24,015
Thank you, my friends.
2262
02:11:24,182 --> 02:11:26,084
May God always bless you.
2263
02:11:27,718 --> 02:11:29,054
Sincerely,
2264
02:11:30,655 --> 02:11:31,822
Ronald Reagan.
