1
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,795
Never before in American history...
2
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:57,317
...has one family held such an enormous
concentration of political power.
3
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,675
The plan is perfectly plain.
4
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,628
To return and perpetuate this power
for decades.
5
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:08,191
Two terms for JFK, two for Bobby
and two for Ted.
6
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,035
And in each administration,
the brothers who are not president...
7
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:16,113
...would take over
the most powerful cabinet posts.
8
00:04:16,280 --> 00:04:18,316
They have several
hundred million dollars...
9
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,790
...and some of the best brains
on Earth to carry it through.
10
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,589
They have put together a powerful
coalition of big-city machines...
11
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,031
Labor, Negroes, Jews, liberals...
12
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,034
...and the press.
13
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,033
- That will make him
unbeatable in 1964.
14
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:35,434
Wait a minute, professor.
15
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,239
He's appointed Republicans
to the Treasury, to the Navy.
16
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,630
Another's head of the CIA.
17
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,075
Brother Bobby worked
on Joe McCarthy's committee.
18
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,194
The old man is farther to the right
than I am.
19
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,869
Ancient history, Harold.
20
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,429
Man's come out for cuts
in oil-depletion allowance.
21
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,995
He's stopping mergers
under the Antitrust Act.
22
00:04:55,200 --> 00:05:00,752
He promises to close down 52 domestic
and 25 overseas military bases.
23
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,196
Foster, since when do you believe
the promises of politicians?
24
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:09,309
- Especially in an election year?
- Times have changed, Mr. Ferguson.
25
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,391
And tactics along with them.
26
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:16,076
In the next few months,
you're going to see JFK do the following:
27
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,834
One, he is going to lead
the black revolution...
28
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,638
...instead of fighting it.
29
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,392
Now we all know what that means.
30
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,434
Damn right, a white backlash.
Federal troops backing up the blacks.
31
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:27,834
Blood in the streets.
32
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:33,028
Two, he's going to try to put across
a test-ban treaty with the Russians.
33
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,475
Three, he's going
to try to pull out of Vietnam...
34
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,676
...and turn Asia
over to the Communists.
35
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,599
Ridiculous, the American public
would never stand for that.
36
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,318
Come on, Harold.
37
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,318
The American public will stand
for what it has to stand for.
38
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,189
What it's told to stand for
or what it's educated to stand for.
39
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:53,279
Done effectively, the public would soon
be disenchanted with the war.
40
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,472
Which would make action imperative.
41
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,955
- What kind of action?
- Executive.
42
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,716
I'll take it from here, Bob.
43
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,512
- Let's all go in the other room.
- Why in the other room?
44
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,511
Just a short walk. Do you good.
45
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,432
- Nothing wrong with my heart, James.
- He's got you there, Jim.
46
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,751
Tell me, sir, to what do you ascribe
your great, good health?
47
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,559
Hard liquor and soft women.
48
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:26,996
Southern gentlemen.
49
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,670
This country was not made...
50
00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:49,673
...by people who sat
in their own community...
51
00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:52,354
...and followed
their own private interests.
52
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,078
Instead, it was made...
53
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,557
...by the men who recognized
that change means progress.
54
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,275
And progress means
the welfare of our people.
55
00:07:03,280 --> 00:07:05,191
That's what makes this a great country.
56
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,831
How are you?
57
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,509
In Europe, heads of state always die
at the hands of conspirators.
58
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,240
Our presidents are killed by madmen.
59
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,398
The pattern is remarkably consistent.
60
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,988
Abraham Lincoln, April 14th, 1865.
61
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,357
Target: Sitting and stationary.
62
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,279
Range: Six inches. Successful.
63
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,119
James Garfield, July 2nd, 1881.
64
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,919
Target: Walking
at two-and-a-half miles per hour.
65
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,640
Range: Three feet. Successful.
66
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,908
William McKinley.
September 6th, 1901.
67
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,311
Target: Standing and stationary.
Range: One foot.
68
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:14,994
Successful.
69
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,272
Theodore Roosevelt,
October 14th, 1912.
70
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:22,228
Target: Standing and stationary.
Range: Six feet.
71
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:24,911
Wounded, survived.
72
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,190
Franklin D. Roosevelt,
February 15th, 1933.
73
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:30,839
Target: Sitting and stationary.
74
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,754
Range: 23 feet.
Five shots, five misses.
75
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,552
In no case was the killer
an expert marksman.
76
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:44,717
In every case,
the Secret Service was unprepared.
77
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,434
In every case,
the assassin was a political fanatic...
78
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,477
...willing to die to get the president.
79
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:55,031
No professional can be expected to
lay his life on the line for such a cause.
80
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,192
So we've determined that our action
can best be carried out...
81
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,237
...during a motorcade.
- How so?
82
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,477
Because they're scheduled
well in advance.
83
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,631
They give you a chance
to fire from cover...
84
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,358
...and get away in the confusion.
85
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:11,957
- How do you select your operatives?
- I can tell you, Harold.
86
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,396
Now, you used to have to train
your own men from the ground up.
87
00:09:15,560 --> 00:09:18,154
Keep them on your payroll
the rest of their lives.
88
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,038
No more.
89
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:25,594
Do you know many men were fired
by the CIA after the Bay of Pigs fiasco?
90
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,274
There's a small army
of anti-Castro Cubans.
91
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,391
They're all ready. They're all available.
92
00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:32,710
And they can do anything
from picking a lock...
93
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,031
...and bugging an embassy
to taking care of an ambassador.
94
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,031
So...
95
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:43,149
- How many of them do you need?
- A team of three men.
96
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,118
I've had two teams in the field
for over a month.
97
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,113
- Why two?
- One team will be selected for action.
98
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,511
The other for backup and getaway.
99
00:09:51,680 --> 00:09:53,796
These are all men
I've used before, Harold.
100
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,474
Trained, reliable, professional.
101
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:01,318
Now, one man firing from long range
at a moving target is out of the question.
102
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,597
Even with two, we found
the percentages of failure are too high.
103
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,992
The only possible scenario
is three rifles with triangulated fire.
104
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,393
Two firing at a retreating target.
105
00:10:12,560 --> 00:10:15,393
And the third firing
as the target advances.
106
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,996
Three misses, three hits.
107
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,191
Take the target back.
108
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,511
Stand by to go again.
109
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,915
Start the target.
110
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,109
Stand by to fire.
111
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:03,588
Fire.
112
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,513
While there's a climate of violence
in the country now...
113
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,632
...in which anything can happen,
the people won't protest it...
114
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,109
...or even fight it
for fear of becoming involved.
115
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,350
What about the Secret Service?
116
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:27,354
They give the president less protection
than any other head of state on Earth.
117
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,318
De Gaulle travels
surrounded by 47 motorcycles.
118
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,914
Kennedy with eight, sometimes 10.
119
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,469
And none between him
and the crowds on the sidewalk.
120
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,198
When a Soviet motorcade
passes a 10-story building...
121
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,079
...there's a separate agent
to watch each floor.
122
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,231
Now, in Jack's motorcades...
123
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,073
...the agents often travel
inside of closed cars.
124
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:51,995
- They can't see a damn thing.
- And they're paid less than the FBI.
125
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,754
They only have target practice
twice a year.
126
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,071
And they're often used
as White House errand boys.
127
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,959
And most of their intelligence
comes from other agencies.
128
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,719
Which means they get very little.
The FBI doesn't give much to anybody.
129
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,792
And Hoover, he doesn't like Kennedys
any more than we do.
130
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,150
The CIA?
131
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:15,518
After the Bay of Pigs, its director
and his deputy were forced to resign.
132
00:12:15,680 --> 00:12:18,877
The mood of the agency
may best be described as bitter.
133
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,960
Are you trying to tell me
people in the CIA and FBI...
134
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:23,917
...are going to help with this project?
135
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:28,232
No. James, how many
government intelligence agencies...
136
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,675
...do you have personal knowledge of?
137
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,796
Fifteen. Maybe 17.
138
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,834
And how many private companies
act as fronts for American intelligence?
139
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:41,630
- Private? Maybe three or 400.
- Including six or seven of your own?
140
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,156
What one agency
finds inconvenient to do...
141
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,834
...may be very simple for another one
in the same area.
142
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:51,194
So you see, there aren't nearly as many
secrets as an outsider might imagine.
143
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,072
I can see how that could happen.
144
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,510
Even after a man leaves
the government service...
145
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,870
...he still has ongoing relationships...
146
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,476
...with the various intelligence outfits
he's left behind.
147
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,234
Yes, I can see that too.
148
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,439
It's that ongoing relationship
that gives him access to information.
149
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,513
He receives it because he's trusted.
And that's the way we receive ours.
150
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,632
Yes? Oh, Charlie.
151
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:21,951
Is that so?
152
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,192
I see.
153
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,075
Yes, of course
that would have worked out.
154
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,993
- Yeah.
- Thanks very much, Charlie.
155
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:31,559
- Quite all right.
- Bye.
156
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,039
Bye.
157
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,713
A conspiracy will make us
look like a banana republic.
158
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:38,996
We don't have them.
159
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,277
That's what we pay
our intelligence agencies to prevent.
160
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,034
They'll deny a conspiracy
down to the last man...
161
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:46,792
...lay the whole thing off...
162
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,475
...on some crazy damn fool
who did it all on his own.
163
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,632
- Who is the crazy damn fool?
- He'll be provided.
164
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,957
Charlie McCadden
just called from El Paso.
165
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,317
Governor Connally
just left the president.
166
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,277
And they made a private agreement...
167
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,671
...that he will make a political pilgrimage
to Texas to woo votes.
168
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:07,159
Probably in the fall.
169
00:14:08,680 --> 00:14:12,719
There ought to be a better way
of settling things like this.
170
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,554
Have you researched the man's
private history?
171
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,871
- Thoroughly.
- Letters from the State Department?
172
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,235
Harold, if you'll forgive me...
173
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,596
...we're way ahead of you.
174
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,797
If we could find some way
to discredit him...
175
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,868
...believe me,
we would have done it by now.
176
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,035
Gentlemen, the hour is getting late.
177
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,390
Well, I'm sorry, gentlemen,
I'm still unconvinced.
178
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,949
I agree with you
that the welfare of this country...
179
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,715
...is worth any man's life,
even the president's.
180
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:51,318
My advice,
for what it's worth to you, is wait.
181
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,549
I'll see you to your car.
182
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,517
Harold.
183
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,233
Harold.
184
00:14:59,920 --> 00:15:03,515
Oh, before I took over
Transjordanian oil...
185
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:08,231
...my own intelligence men
had to eliminate a little local opposition.
186
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:12,552
I understand these things.
I just don't like them.
187
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,870
They're tolerable
only if they're necessary...
188
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,918
...and permissible only if they work.
189
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,157
Good day.
190
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:32,119
I was in charge
of that Transjordanian operation.
191
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:33,998
The hell.
192
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,074
Arranged it through
the German intelligence.
193
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:41,193
My technician on that job
is out there right now training Team B.
194
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,272
Okay, Lee, take her up.
195
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,031
Okay, Chris, take it up.
196
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,314
Okay, Jess. Take it up to 15 feet.
197
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,469
Hold it. That's good.
198
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,550
Okay, hold it. That's good.
199
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,269
Okay, that's good. Lock it off.
200
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,551
Start the action.
201
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:50,359
Fire.
202
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,238
I got three hits on target.
203
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:11,913
One hit on Number 2. A miss.
204
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,113
Seven seconds and two misses.
205
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,199
It's probably a kill,
but we're two seconds over time...
206
00:17:18,360 --> 00:17:20,954
...so we'll have
to slow the target down.
207
00:17:21,120 --> 00:17:23,076
With the most accurate rifle
on Earth...
208
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:27,074
...we've still got a two-inch spread
on either side for every hundred yards.
209
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,959
So at 20 miles an hour,
it's too much.
210
00:17:30,120 --> 00:17:31,473
Yeah.
211
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,392
Let's get a beer.
212
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,953
Commencement exercises
at American University...
213
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,072
... gained world significance
when President Kennedy reveals...
214
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,078
... two major decisions
on Western relations with Russia.
215
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:47,999
Addressing the graduates...
216
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:52,358
... Mr. Kennedy makes a stirring plea
for world peace and says:
217
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,272
First, Chairman Khrushchev...
218
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,079
...Prime Minister Macmillan
and I have agreed...
219
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,357
...that high-level discussions
will shortly begin in Moscow...
220
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:06,280
... looking towards early agreement
on a comprehensive test-ban treaty.
221
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,360
I now declare that the United States...
222
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:17,230
... does not propose to conduct
nuclear tests in the atmosphere...
223
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,472
... so long as other states
do not do so.
224
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,633
This generation of Americans
has already had enough...
225
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:30,557
More than enough.
- Of war and hate and oppression.
226
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:28,831
Jim, sit down.
227
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,072
- Are you hungry?
- Thanks, I've eaten.
228
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,037
How's the team?
229
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,760
Well, it can be done
in five or six seconds...
230
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,071
...but only if we slow the target down
to 15 miles an hour.
231
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,231
Otherwise, you take chances.
232
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,038
All right, we'll work on that.
233
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,556
- Any cover problems?
- No. No problems.
234
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,515
Supposed to be hunters and I take it
that's what we actually are.
235
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:55,318
Correct.
236
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,311
Here's your expense money.
237
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,119
Say, when you gonna throw
a little light on this play?
238
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,431
It's not quite a standard operation.
I may run as tight as you are.
239
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,038
You mean is that each of us
knows only his own job?
240
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:13,759
Put it in any words you like.
241
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,272
The company must be running
other teams then. Are we number one?
242
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:20,234
Two teams only...
243
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,153
...and there's a good chance
that you'll see action.
244
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:25,512
Maybe before Thanksgiving.
245
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,200
How soon will we find out
what the options are?
246
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,438
The probabilities for success
are almost 100 percent.
247
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,196
Yeah, like the Bay of Pigs.
248
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,356
You're a high-risk man,
you're on contract.
249
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,114
Your men are all experienced
in black operations.
250
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,397
You take your chances
and you get paid for it and damn well.
251
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,357
Okay, Jim.
252
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,030
I'll tell you this much.
253
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:02,758
I've never seen a better cover plan
in all my life.
254
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,718
Every man jack will be
out of the country within 36 hours.
255
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:07,677
New passports, new identities...
256
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,513
...plus $25,000 each
just for spending money.
257
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,433
I like that. Tell me more.
258
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,795
You'll stay out of the country
for two years.
259
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,748
You'll receive $25,000 a year
via Switzerland for the next five years.
260
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:20,909
All of us?
261
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,470
I said every man jack
involved in the operation.
262
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,996
And five years from now,
on January 2nd, 1968...
263
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,038
...provided no one
has broken security...
264
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,277
...each man will find $ 100,000...
265
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,159
...in his own personally numbered
Swiss bank account.
266
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:39,912
Jesus.
267
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,438
You just told me who we're gonna hit.
268
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,672
This nation was founded by men
of many nations and backgrounds.
269
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:49,955
Okay.
270
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,113
It was founded on the principle
that men are created equal...
271
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,669
...and that the rights
of every man are diminished...
272
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,229
...when the rights of one man
are threatened.
273
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,876
My fellow Americans,
this is a problem which faces us all...
274
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,873
... in every city of the North
as well as the South.
275
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,790
Today,
there are Negroes unemployed...
276
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,793
...two or three times as many
compared to whites.
277
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,997
Inadequate education,
moving into the large cities...
278
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,311
...unable to find work,
denied their equal rights.
279
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,835
We cannot say
to 10 percent of the population...
280
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:23,797
... that "You can 't have that right.
281
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:27,430
Your children can't have the chance
to develop whatever talents they have.
282
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:31,752
The only way that they'll get their rights
is to go in the street and demonstrate."
283
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,879
I think we owe them and we owe
ourselves a better country than that.
284
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,469
The computer threw out
14 possible goats.
285
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:40,710
Or sponsors, as we like to call them.
286
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:44,395
A young man named Lee Harvey Oswald
seems the best.
287
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,869
Born in New Orleans, 1939.
288
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,838
Father dead.
Mother remarried and divorced.
289
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:51,911
Boy was in an orphanage for a while...
290
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,548
...then shunted about with his mother
till he was 17.
291
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,472
You can start now, Tim.
292
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,949
He has remarkably muddled
political record...
293
00:22:59,120 --> 00:23:02,510
...that can be steered
strongly to the left.
294
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:08,068
On October 24, 1956,
seven days after his 17th birthday...
295
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,198
...subject enlisted
in the United States Marine Corps.
296
00:23:11,360 --> 00:23:13,191
Attended
Aviation Fundamental School...
297
00:23:13,360 --> 00:23:16,079
...at Naval Air Station
in Jacksonville, Florida...
298
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,993
...studying basic radar theory,
map reading...
299
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,993
...and air-traffic-control procedures.
300
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:26,591
Began studying Russian language
and taking pro-Communist attitudes.
301
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,712
Fellow Marines called him
"Oswaldavitch" and "Russki."
302
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:32,392
In the Marine Corps?
303
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:33,913
Not a chance.
304
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,356
Preparing a cover for him.
305
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:40,229
- Naval Intelligence?
- Either that or CIA.
306
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,231
Go ahead, Tim.
307
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,634
Arrived in Yokosuka, Japan
aboard the Bexar...
308
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:49,156
...for assignment at Atsugi,
20 miles west of Tokyo.
309
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,232
Isn't that where we monitored
the U-2s over China?
310
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:53,674
And a lot of other stuff.
311
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:55,910
Court-martialed on June 27th...
312
00:23:56,120 --> 00:23:59,078
...for pouring a drink over
a non-commissioned officer's head...
313
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,435
...and use of insulting language.
314
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,872
Confined 28 days at hard labor.
315
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,311
Only 28 days?
316
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,074
Not only giving him a cover,
they're fixing him a phony.
317
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:14,631
On August 17, 1959,
he requested a dependency discharge...
318
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,236
...on the ground
that his mother required his support.
319
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:22,679
- Discharge was granted September 11.
- Well, that was easy.
320
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,115
Easier than you think. Watch this.
321
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:29,154
To get the discharge,
he needed a doctor's affidavit.
322
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,232
Otolaryngologist Marvin Danvers
gave him one...
323
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:36,916
...saying he started treating
Oswald's mother on September 5...
324
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,079
...even though his letter is dated
September 3.
325
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,237
Well, I'll be goddamned.
326
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,960
On the same day, September 4...
327
00:24:45,120 --> 00:24:50,558
...Oswald applied for
and received a passport.
328
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:55,999
Quote, "In order to attend
the Albert Schweitzer College," unquote.
329
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:57,794
Passport granted.
330
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:01,475
Good for European travel,
including U.S.S.R.
331
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,558
Arrived in Moscow, October 16.
332
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:09,919
Ordered to leave U.S.S.R. By 8 p.m.,
October 21.
333
00:25:10,120 --> 00:25:14,432
- The Russkies weren't buying.
- Slashed his wrists same day.
334
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,598
Taken to Botkinskaya Hospital,
released a week later.
335
00:25:18,120 --> 00:25:20,998
Visited U.S. Embassy on October 31.
336
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,232
Stated his determination
to revoke American citizenship...
337
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,834
...and turn classified data
over to the Russians.
338
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,880
Can find no record that embassy
tried to dissuade him...
339
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,076
...from handing over
classified material.
340
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,117
How much did he actually have?
341
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,350
Location of all bases
on the West Coast...
342
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,670
...radio frequencies for all squadrons...
343
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:42,196
...all tactical call signs,
strength of squadrons...
344
00:25:42,360 --> 00:25:45,113
...number and type
of aircraft in each...
345
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,589
...names of commanding officers...
346
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,149
...and the authentic code
for entering and exiting...
347
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,629
...the ADIZ radio and radar ranges.
348
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:54,233
Jesus.
349
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,960
On January 4, 1960...
350
00:25:57,120 --> 00:26:01,830
...Oswald receives permission
to remain in the U.S.S.R. For one year.
351
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:03,353
They're beginning to buy.
352
00:26:04,120 --> 00:26:08,716
On January 5, he is given 5000 rubles
and assigned to work...
353
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,952
...at the Belorussian
Radio and Television Factory in Minsk.
354
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:13,549
They've bought.
355
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:17,269
In 1961, he writes a series of letters
to the embassy...
356
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,517
...concerning possible return
to the United States.
357
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,035
When was Powers shot down
in that U-2?
358
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,998
May 1, 1960.
He was there, all right.
359
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,071
But I'm not sure
there was any connection.
360
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,800
They've been spotting our U-2s
for a long time.
361
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,430
- Thanks, Tim, I'll take it from here.
- Right, Mr. Farrington.
362
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:40,119
On March 17, he met a young lady,
a graduate pharmacist.
363
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,629
Six weeks later, they were married.
364
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:44,637
As a result of Oswald's letters...
365
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:46,791
...the State Department
informed embassy...
366
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,032
...that for security reasons,
Oswald should be given a passport.
367
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:54,036
There was a wrangle with the Russians
about exit visas for his wife...
368
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,351
...but everything on our side
was as smooth as silk.
369
00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,552
The embassy issued a passport.
370
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:03,634
They lent him $435
in traveling expenses.
371
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:10,029
And he passed through lmmigration
June 13th, 1962 en route to Fort Worth.
372
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:11,872
Did anyone meet them at lmmigration?
373
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:15,271
A representative
of the Concerned Travelers' Society...
374
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,237
...named Ralph P. Waterford.
375
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,675
To help them through customs,
or so he said.
376
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,229
Is that name familiar?
377
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:26,473
There's a Ralph P. Waterford known
in Taiwan as the secretary-general...
378
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,359
...for the World Campaign
Against Communism, Inc.
379
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,348
- Now, who would have sent him?
- God knows.
380
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,080
You get into that,
there are so many triple-headers...
381
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,913
...you can't count them all. Tim.
382
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,277
All the intelligence agencies
have files on him.
383
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,829
He was interviewed twice last year
by the FBI that we know of.
384
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,278
And there's a report out
that the state attorney general...
385
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,237
...and the Dallas district attorney...
386
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:57,518
...have got him labeled
as FBI informant Number S-172.
387
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:01,195
He could be. Defecting, coming back,
running into no trouble at all...
388
00:28:01,360 --> 00:28:03,191
...he could be anything.
389
00:28:03,360 --> 00:28:08,229
CIA, Office of Naval Intelligence,
anything.
390
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:10,397
Lowest possible echelon, of course.
391
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:14,917
A few dollars here, a few there,
possibly a little doubling.
392
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:17,319
Listen:
393
00:28:18,120 --> 00:28:20,076
On January 27th of this year...
394
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,629
...he bought a mail-order
Smith & Wesson.38...
395
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:24,233
...under a phony name.
396
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:30,873
And in March he bought a mail-order
6.5 mm Mannlicher-Carcano rifle.
397
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:34,589
In May, he was distributing Fair Play
for Cuba literature in Dallas.
398
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,035
Can we rely on a character like this?
399
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:41,113
We're not relying on him.
We're using him.
400
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,238
I've got someone placed
very close to him.
401
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:49,274
Get a little air.
402
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,519
Go ahead. I wanna check
the stock market, of course.
403
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,160
The real problem is this, James.
404
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:04,309
In two decades...
405
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,870
...there will be 7 billion
human beings on this planet...
406
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,349
...most of them brown,
yellow or black.
407
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:14,832
All of them hungry,
all of them determined to love.
408
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:19,152
They'll swarm out of their breeding
grounds into Europe and North America.
409
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:21,597
Hence Vietnam.
410
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:23,514
An all-out effort there...
411
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,911
...will give us control of South Asia
for decades to come.
412
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,675
And with proper planning, we can
reduce the population to 550 million...
413
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:32,751
...by the end of the century.
414
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:34,638
I know.
415
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:36,438
I've seen the data.
416
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:40,388
We sound rather like gods reading
the Doomsday Book, don't we?
417
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,511
Well, someone has to do it.
418
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,478
Not only will the nations affected
be better off...
419
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:47,551
...but the techniques
developed there...
420
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,109
...can be used to reduce
our own excess population:
421
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:54,068
Blacks, Puerto Ricans,
Mexican-Americans...
422
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:58,279
...poverty-prone whites and so forth.
423
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,669
Raise your right hand, please.
424
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:14,196
Do you swear that the statements
in the application are true?
425
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:15,349
I do.
426
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:17,875
Do you swear your allegiance
to the United States?
427
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:19,075
I do.
428
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,152
For 24-hour service, it's $2.
429
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,150
George Bernard Shaw
speaking as Irishman...
430
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,232
... summed up an approach to life:
431
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,631
"Other people," he said,
"see things and say, 'Why? '
432
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:37,352
But I dream of things that never were
and I say, 'Why not?"'
433
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,830
The problems of the world
cannot possibly be solved...
434
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,070
... by skeptics or cynics...
435
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:48,758
... whose horizons are limited
by the obvious realities we need...
436
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:50,993
Yes?
437
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,512
- Twenty-four hours?
- Not only that...
438
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:01,514
...he stated on his application that
his previous passport had been lifted...
439
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:03,750
...and that he intended
to travel to Russia.
440
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,710
He can't be just crazy on his own.
441
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,189
He defects, they lift his passport...
442
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:13,035
...and on 24 hours' notice he gets
another one to travel back to Russia?
443
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,714
Somebody must be behind him.
444
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,553
Oh, yes, indeed.
Worth his weight in gold.
445
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:52,030
We call this our Cubanization process.
446
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,798
Here our sponsor distributes
Fair Play for Cuba leaflets...
447
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,554
...on Canal Street in New Orleans.
448
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:09,554
Who's the other man?
449
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,029
Picked him up in an employment office,
$2 an hour.
450
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,829
We've repeated this process four times
in the last 10 days.
451
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,591
The address on the leaflets
is 611 Karp Street.
452
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:22,718
Howard Grimm's building.
You remember him.
453
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,474
Special agent
in charge of the Chicago FBI office.
454
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,592
We used him in '61 as equipment
purchaser for our Cuban friends.
455
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:31,910
Grimm has an office
in that building himself.
456
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:33,957
- Was that wise?
- Well, no matter.
457
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,873
Grimm's organization
is on LaFollete Street.
458
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:40,510
The Anti-Communist League
of the Caribbean.
459
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,069
I like that.
They cancel each other out.
460
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,549
And no one's been able
to put them together yet.
461
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,359
I don't like it, but it's done.
462
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,311
- When are you him getting into Dallas?
- Not for another month.
463
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:58,519
Our New Orleans scenario calls
for a street corner fight and an arrest.
464
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:02,719
Possibly some radio interviews,
TV if we're lucky.
465
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:04,677
He doesn't know he's being handled?
466
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:05,949
No.
467
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,669
That's being taken care of by someone
who's known him for years.
468
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:22,710
- Heard anything from the old man?
- Not yet.
469
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:24,791
Go ahead without him?
470
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:29,512
Difficult to say. Very difficult.
471
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:34,073
In the meantime, we'll push on and hope
that Kennedy makes up his mind for us.
472
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,231
Just a little water.
473
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:46,671
I still have a dream.
474
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:52,757
It is a dream deeply rooted
in the American dream.
475
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:57,471
I have a dream that one day...
476
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:01,396
...this nation will rise up...
477
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,876
...live out the true meaning
of its creed:
478
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:08,555
We hold these truths
to be self-evident...
479
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,832
...that all men are created equal.
480
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:27,876
I have a dream...
481
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:34,794
...that my four little children
will one day live in a nation...
482
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,992
...where they will not be judged
by the color of their skin...
483
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,156
...but by the content
of their character.
484
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,151
I have a dream today.
485
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:32,870
Orders from God?
486
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:36,828
What the hell would they be sending us
to Montana for?
487
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,593
Help fight American imperialism.
488
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,199
Join the Fair Play for Cuba Committee.
489
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:52,755
I know you, dirty bastard.
You spy for Castro.
490
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,388
You came to our office
of Cuban Students in Exile.
491
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:59,439
Took some material.
And here you are handing out this crap.
492
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:07,038
Why don't you go to Cuba
and stay there?
493
00:36:14,240 --> 00:36:15,593
Take him away now.
494
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,156
A full-scale nuclear exchange...
495
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,235
...lasting less than 60 minutes...
496
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:46,036
...with the weapons
now in existence...
497
00:36:46,240 --> 00:36:49,835
...could wipe out
more than 300 million Americans...
498
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,753
...Europeans and Russians...
499
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,036
...as well as untold millions elsewhere.
500
00:36:55,240 --> 00:36:57,834
That's why I support
the test-ban treaty.
501
00:36:59,720 --> 00:37:03,349
Not because we're going to be easier
in our lives...
502
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:06,910
... but because we have a chance
to avoid being burned.
503
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:13,436
The reason that I'm worried
about this treaty...
504
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:17,559
...is because I believe
that this treaty...
505
00:37:17,720 --> 00:37:21,315
...is a step away from safety...
506
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:24,074
...possibly a step toward war.
507
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:28,235
A pact, hailed by a hopeful majority
as signaling peace in our time...
508
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:34,030
...actually turns out to be a first step
on the path to disaster.
509
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:36,437
This treaty is not the millennium...
510
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:41,151
... but it is an important first step.
A step towards peace.
511
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:45,472
Let history record that we,
in this land...
512
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:48,632
... at this time, took the first step.
513
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,110
Man's creating
the perfect climate for his death.
514
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:56,517
They sometimes do, you know.
Caesar did.
515
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,472
In that event, what do you hear
from our elderly Brutus?
516
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:04,189
Ferguson says in effect,
"Don't call me, I'll call you."
517
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:07,636
- How's yours stand-in for Brutus doing?
- Oh, he's doing fine.
518
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,792
Heading up a Fair Play for Cuba
Committee that doesn't exist.
519
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:14,077
Writing letters to the Communist Party
in New York.
520
00:38:14,240 --> 00:38:15,719
And after that street brawl...
521
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:19,156
...he demanded that an FBI man
come down to see him.
522
00:38:21,720 --> 00:38:23,233
When will he be in Dallas?
523
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,391
Between the 3rd and 5th of October.
524
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:28,518
His wife's there now,
living outside of the city with a friend.
525
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:29,954
Well, why wait so long?
526
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:34,750
Well, he wants to go to Mexico City
to try to get a visa to go to Cuba.
527
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:36,876
- Was that your idea?
- No.
528
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:41,033
But there's no way to stop him without
making him angry with our connection.
529
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,395
I don't see any harm in it, do you?
530
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,151
The man's a genius.
531
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:51,757
He'll have the FBI watching the CIA
and the CIA watching the Bureau.
532
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:55,037
Before he's through,
nobody will know whose man he is.
533
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:58,078
Meanwhile, I'll schedule
two live target rehearsals.
534
00:38:58,240 --> 00:39:00,879
- One for each team.
- Good.
535
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:02,871
And one more thing, Robert.
536
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:06,112
When this operation is finished,
it's my last.
537
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:09,718
Why, of course.
538
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:11,836
We all have our failures of nerve.
539
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:15,913
If we didn't,
none of us would be worth a damn.
540
00:40:29,240 --> 00:40:32,073
- George, in one, you shaded him a bit.
- Yeah, I know.
541
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:35,989
I only printed up the hits.
None of them were really far off.
542
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:38,833
Look at that. Right on target.
543
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:40,558
Beautiful.
544
00:40:40,720 --> 00:40:43,678
- Front angle shot's wide open.
- It's gonna work.
545
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:45,353
Sure it is.
546
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:49,872
Okay. Now, we're supposed to be
on the road before 9. Destroy these.
547
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:56,636
Tim, show them the pros and cons
of that motorcade.
548
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,030
The most direct route
from Love Field...
549
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:01,509
...to the Trade Mart,
where the lunch will be...
550
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:05,468
...is either
by Stemmons Freeway here...
551
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:07,710
...or Harry Hines Boulevard,
which is here.
552
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,077
To get to the biggest crowds,
however...
553
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,953
...the best route would be straight down
to Main Street...
554
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:15,873
...down Main Street
and through Dealey Plaza.
555
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:18,514
Where did you say
you placed your sponsor?
556
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:22,639
Texas School Book Depository.
Elm and Houston.
557
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:25,758
- I went to work there yesterday.
- Here's the depository.
558
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:29,037
In order for the motorcade to pass it,
they'd have to make a jog.
559
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:32,237
Right on Houston Street
and left on Elm here...
560
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:34,994
...and then through the underpass
to Stemmons Freeway.
561
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,230
Isn't that a long way around
to nowhere?
562
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:40,631
It's the perfect place
for triangulated gunfire.
563
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:45,632
A man in the records building here.
Another man in the depository.
564
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:50,635
A third man here on the grassy knoll
where he has excellent cover.
565
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:53,872
They'll have to slow down
to 10 to 12 miles an hour...
566
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:56,156
...to make this turnoff.
567
00:41:56,320 --> 00:42:00,757
And when they've reached this point,
they've walked right into the trap.
568
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:03,349
And there's no way
they can get out of it.
569
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:10,476
If that's where you want the parade
to go, why, that's where it will go.
570
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:12,676
I can think of
a dozen arguments now...
571
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,115
...and a dozen people
who'll listen to them.
572
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:16,838
But let me handle it.
573
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:18,917
Where will you start, in Washington?
574
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:21,555
President's there
to please people, isn't he?
575
00:42:21,720 --> 00:42:24,393
Businessmen, bankers,
merchants, so forth.
576
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:27,711
They do the deciding
on where he goes.
577
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:32,158
When it comes to those fellas, I know
where the bear sits in the buckwheat.
578
00:42:33,240 --> 00:42:36,676
Dealey Plaza. I'll guarantee it.
579
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,394
That leaves us with just one problem.
580
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:44,155
Ferguson's got to be convinced
in the next week or two.
581
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:36,032
Tonight, the news from Saigon
is grim indeed as riots sweep the city...
582
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,794
...and the government
of courageous President Diem...
583
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:40,439
...hangs in the balance.
584
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:44,275
Radical students and Buddhist activists
are demonstrating in the streets...
585
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:48,268
... while government troops
battle desperately to subdue them.
586
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:57,152
In protest, another Buddhist monk
has burned himself to death.
587
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:01,878
And what is our president doing
to support Diem?
588
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:03,359
This from Washington:
589
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:06,950
Is there any speedup
in the withdrawal from Vietnam?
590
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:10,430
You know, when Secretary McNamara
and General Taylor came back...
591
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:16,197
...they announced that we would expect
to withdraw thousands of men...
592
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:18,954
...from South Vietnam
before the end of the year.
593
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:22,072
Reliable sources inform us...
594
00:44:22,240 --> 00:44:25,596
...that Kennedy plans to withdraw
all United States forces...
595
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:28,479
...from Southeast Asia in 1965.
596
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:33,234
A vital region which will inevitably
fall to the Communists...
597
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:36,870
... should our president's
suicidal no-win policy prevail.
598
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:39,799
Yes, Robert, I can see your point.
599
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:41,712
I'm in complete agreement.
600
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:44,189
By all means, go ahead.
601
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:24,793
Page 499, verse 10.
602
00:46:27,720 --> 00:46:29,153
Job.
603
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:32,479
"He shall return no more
to his house...
604
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:35,837
...neither shall his place
know him anymore."
605
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:54,354
- Chris.
- What?
606
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:55,794
Open up for a minute.
607
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:57,757
Jesus, I got somebody in here.
608
00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:00,639
Okay, you come out here.
It'll only take a minute.
609
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:11,796
I'll be back in a minute.
610
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:19,268
- What?
- Close the door.
611
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:21,476
You got something, huh?
612
00:47:23,720 --> 00:47:25,392
It's our job.
613
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:27,593
For sure?
614
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:30,389
- Start packing. Tell the boys.
- Right.
615
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:33,311
We picked up this film
in New Orleans.
616
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:35,869
It's a TV interview
after he got in that hassle...
617
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:38,554
...passing out the pro-Castro leaflets.
618
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:43,273
No matter what you say, Jim...
619
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:45,510
...the point of it is
you must be remembered.
620
00:47:45,720 --> 00:47:48,837
Ten days from now,
if they hear you described...
621
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:53,278
...they must say,
"Oh, yes, I saw him. He was here."
622
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:55,396
- Do you understand?
- I've got it.
623
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:59,149
It's equally important
that we set him up planning the event.
624
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:02,710
He owns a rifle with a scope,
but he's never used it.
625
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:04,836
Give him visibility in a gun shop.
626
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:07,395
We'll provide you a rifle similar to his.
627
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:10,120
We also want to see him practicing.
628
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:12,077
Can't you arrange to borrow his rifle?
629
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:15,636
That's programmed for later
when we're certain he won't miss it.
630
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:17,756
Let's do some more homework.
631
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:21,111
That does not mean, however,
that I'm a Communist.
632
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:23,077
What is the difference
between the two?
633
00:48:23,240 --> 00:48:26,789
There is a great deal of difference,
such as several American parties...
634
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:29,758
... in several countries are based
on Marxism, such as Ghana.
635
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:35,114
Ghana. Certain countries have
characteristics of a socialist system...
636
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:37,874
...such as Great Britain
with its socialized medicine.
637
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:41,396
These, then, are the differences between
an outright Communist country...
638
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:45,678
...and countries which adhere
to leftist or Marxist principles.
639
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:49,397
In your work
with the Fair Play for Cuba Committee...
640
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:51,198
... what are you advocating?
641
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:53,749
We advocate restoration
of diplomatic trade...
642
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:56,070
...and tourists relations with Cuba.
643
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:08,910
Hi there.
Now, what can I do for you?
644
00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:13,153
Well, could you drill this
to mount a telescopic sight?
645
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:19,115
- Sure can.
- How soon?
646
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:20,679
I'm gonna need it any day now.
647
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:23,798
Well, be ready in a couple of days.
648
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:25,393
Fine.
649
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:28,311
What's the name?
650
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:33,516
Lee Harvey Oswald.
651
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:37,238
- Good.
- Thanks.
652
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:46,189
912 Martin Street, Irving.
653
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:48,872
Garage.
654
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:51,156
Got it. I'll let you know.
655
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:55,839
Chris.
656
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:11,357
All yours.
657
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:14,718
It's a 6.5 Mannlicher-Carcano.
658
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:17,553
Jesus Christ, the Italians
stopped making this in 1941.
659
00:51:17,720 --> 00:51:18,994
That's 22 years ago.
660
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:21,152
Let's go.
661
00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:34,998
She's a real fine piece of weaponry,
isn't she?
662
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:37,151
The Italians in World War II called it...
663
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:40,153
...the rifle that never hurt anybody
on purpose.
664
00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:44,233
The bolt sticks,
it's got a two-stage trigger...
665
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:50,509
...and the scope is off 0.02 to the left
and it has a 9.5- Inch drop.
666
00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:53,558
- Well, can you adjust to it?
- Oh, sure.
667
00:51:53,720 --> 00:51:57,030
I'm gonna need a hell of a lot more
practice before countdown.
668
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:36,198
That's one hell of a buy, friend...
669
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:38,954
...in case you're looking
for first-class transportation.
670
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:41,429
- Won't cost you an arm and a leg.
- How much?
671
00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:45,559
Nineteen ninety-five.
Radio, heater, whitewalls included.
672
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:50,033
Well, if it's such a hell of a buy,
why haven't you sold it?
673
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:52,794
Only been here
the last couple of days.
674
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:57,511
Bullshit.
I saw this car on the lot last Monday.
675
00:52:57,720 --> 00:53:01,190
What you saw here last Monday
was the same model...
676
00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:02,634
...but it wasn't this car.
677
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:05,872
- What did you get for it?
- Hundred dollars more than I'm asking.
678
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:11,632
Jesus. You mean you'd do that
to some poor dumb Texas burr picker?
679
00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:14,833
What the hell are you
talking about Texas like that for?
680
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:17,713
Because if I was a doctor...
681
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:19,950
...and I wanted
to give the world an enema...
682
00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:23,430
...I'd stick the nozzle
right here in Dallas, Texas.
683
00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:27,790
Before I kick you in the ass, can you
tell me a better place than Texas?
684
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:30,952
Yeah, Russia. They make a car
called the Volga that would...
685
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:33,953
You Communist bastard, get out of here.
Get off my lot.
686
00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:36,554
Who the hell do you think you are,
anyway?
687
00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:40,359
The name's Oswald. Lee Oswald.
688
00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:44,672
If you ever learn how to spell, you can
have a lot of fun trying to write it down.
689
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:49,794
It will come in handy at the right time,
to leak to the press.
690
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:56,909
The face doesn't look enough like him
to pass muster with me.
691
00:53:57,760 --> 00:54:01,275
Get a picture of the sponsor himself
and tip it in. Can do?
692
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:04,113
- Apple pie.
- Tim.
693
00:54:06,240 --> 00:54:08,708
Give him a pistol with a holster.
694
00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:12,033
And a telescopic sight
for the rifle too.
695
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:16,754
- Everything in order?
- So far.
696
00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:32,360
Hey, buddy, you're firing
at the wrong target.
697
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:34,232
That's my target.
698
00:55:35,520 --> 00:55:38,830
Hey, mister,
you're firing at my target.
699
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:41,116
Hey, would you mind?
Just fire at your own.
700
00:55:42,360 --> 00:55:46,035
Why don't you take a flying screw
at the moon and charge it to me?
701
00:55:46,200 --> 00:55:49,351
I'll be glad to, you son of a bitch.
You just tell me your name.
702
00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:50,794
Lee Oswald.
703
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:53,753
0- S-W-A-L-D.
704
00:55:57,760 --> 00:55:59,034
Hey, Ralph!
705
00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:15,157
Outside the Dallas municipal auditorium,
a large number of pickets...
706
00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:18,517
...gave U.N. Ambassador Adlai Stevenson
a hot reception last night...
707
00:56:19,160 --> 00:56:22,914
... when he came to give a speech
in honor of United Nations Day.
708
00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:30,639
And the audience inside
wasn 't a bit more friendly.
709
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:39,354
Surely, my friend,
I don't have to come from Illinois...
710
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:41,112
...to teach Texas manners, do I?
711
00:56:49,240 --> 00:56:52,118
But I do hope all the pickets
will come in and sit down...
712
00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:53,548
Go home.
713
00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:57,829
- Because I believe in
the forgiveness of sin...
714
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:00,594
...and the redemption of ignorance.
715
00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:04,156
Stevenson told friends that he was
going to advise President Kennedy...
716
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:06,550
...not to make
that forthcoming trip to Dallas...
717
00:57:06,720 --> 00:57:08,995
...because of the hostile atmosphere
in that city.
718
00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:22,754
Do you see your position?
719
00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:25,718
Yeah, behind that fence on top.
720
00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:28,755
Okay, let's take her down.
721
01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:18,915
"On November 22nd, the only important
officials remaining in Washington...
722
01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:20,877
...will be McNamara
and Robert Kennedy.
723
01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:24,152
The secretaries of state, treasury,
interior, commerce and labor...
724
01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:26,880
...will be in the air en route to Tokyo.
725
01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:30,476
The president and vice president
will be in Dallas."
726
01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:37,954
To confuse matters and give your men
as much time as possible...
727
01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:42,352
...a code will be removed
from the Tokyo-bound cabinet plane...
728
01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:46,149
...and the Washington telephone system
will suffer a temporary blackout.
729
01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:49,118
- That will help.
- Secret Service are under orders...
730
01:00:49,280 --> 01:00:51,669
...to stay with the president
no matter what happens.
731
01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:55,389
Once they get him to the hospital,
they'll probably filter back.
732
01:00:55,560 --> 01:00:59,075
But for at least a half-hour,
you should be entirely free of them.
733
01:00:59,480 --> 01:01:03,439
I'll have six men with Secret Service
credentials in Dealey Plaza.
734
01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:08,196
Their insignia for this trip, incidentally,
is double white bars on red.
735
01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:11,358
I forgot to mention that
the chief of the White House detail...
736
01:01:11,520 --> 01:01:13,238
...has decided to stay in Washington.
737
01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:14,668
Good.
738
01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:17,354
Now to the intelligence agencies.
739
01:01:17,680 --> 01:01:19,591
In going through
Oswald's address book...
740
01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:23,639
...our contact man came across
the name and telephone number...
741
01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:26,394
...of somebody called Fred Hastings.
742
01:01:26,560 --> 01:01:29,677
Now, Hastings is an FBI man
working out of the Dallas office.
743
01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:31,193
You know him?
744
01:01:32,080 --> 01:01:35,197
Oswald has his telephone number?
745
01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:40,237
I was about to mention Mr. Hastings.
746
01:01:40,520 --> 01:01:43,318
He's visited Mrs. Oswald once
and her landlady twice...
747
01:01:43,480 --> 01:01:45,710
...since the first of the month.
748
01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:48,917
He knows that Oswald works
in the book depository.
749
01:01:49,080 --> 01:01:50,877
And we must assume he also knows...
750
01:01:51,040 --> 01:01:54,828
...that the president's motorcade
will pass the book depository.
751
01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:57,798
Yet neither the local
nor the Washington office of the FBI...
752
01:01:57,960 --> 01:02:00,520
...has reported that
to the Secret Service.
753
01:02:00,720 --> 01:02:02,199
What about other Oswald files?
754
01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:05,597
The Office of Naval Intelligence
is watching him.
755
01:02:05,760 --> 01:02:09,230
The CIA regularly monitors his mail.
756
01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:11,755
No one has reported anything
to the Secret Service.
757
01:02:11,920 --> 01:02:14,434
They don't even know
that Lee Harvey Oswald exists.
758
01:02:14,600 --> 01:02:16,397
His name appears nowhere
in their files.
759
01:02:18,840 --> 01:02:20,592
Let's have a drink.
760
01:02:21,720 --> 01:02:24,029
Dallas has one of the highest
murder rates.
761
01:02:24,560 --> 01:02:27,711
In two years, the Secret Service
has established 149 threats...
762
01:02:27,880 --> 01:02:30,599
...against Kennedy's life
from Texas alone.
763
01:02:30,760 --> 01:02:33,957
Yet they send him into hostile territory
with no more protection...
764
01:02:34,120 --> 01:02:36,918
...than you and I would arrange
for a favorite dog.
765
01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:41,917
What would you say if I told you
that as of November 8...
766
01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:44,514
...Secret Service files
find not one individual...
767
01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:47,194
...in the entire
Fort Worth-Dallas territory...
768
01:02:47,360 --> 01:02:50,113
...who represents a threat
to the president's security?
769
01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:52,276
I'd believe it.
770
01:02:52,560 --> 01:02:55,836
Also there will be no search
of the buildings in Dealey Plaza.
771
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:59,037
And there will be no Secret Service men
stationed in Dealey Plaza.
772
01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:00,679
Not one.
773
01:03:00,840 --> 01:03:02,239
Good.
774
01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:07,593
The lead car will carry
the chief of police, the county sheriff...
775
01:03:07,760 --> 01:03:11,275
...and the two top-ranking
Secret Service agents.
776
01:03:11,840 --> 01:03:13,910
It'll be a closed car.
777
01:03:14,880 --> 01:03:18,077
- They won't be able to see a thing.
- Oh, well.
778
01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:20,598
Soon be over.
779
01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:22,998
Then there'll be...
780
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:27,514
...nothing we can call our own
but death.
781
01:03:28,320 --> 01:03:30,276
That small model of the barren earth...
782
01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:34,075
...which serves as paste
and cover to our bones.
783
01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:37,075
For God's sake,
let us sit upon the ground...
784
01:03:37,240 --> 01:03:39,800
...and tell sad stories
of the death of kings.
785
01:04:28,920 --> 01:04:33,118
The president John F. Kennedy is getting
a warm welcome here in Fort Worth...
786
01:04:33,280 --> 01:04:36,238
... the third stop in his whirlwind trip
through our state.
787
01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:39,358
After this meeting with the Fort Worth
Chamber of Commerce...
788
01:04:39,520 --> 01:04:42,796
... the president and first lady
will fly to Dallas.
789
01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:57,638
This is from one of our people
in Fort Worth.
790
01:04:57,800 --> 01:05:00,360
"Last night in Fort Worth,
nine Secret Service agents...
791
01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:03,398
...went to the Fort Worth Press Club
for drinks.
792
01:05:03,560 --> 01:05:06,120
Seven of the nine remained
till 2 in the morning.
793
01:05:06,280 --> 01:05:10,512
All three night guards left the hotel
and went to the Cellar House.
794
01:05:10,680 --> 01:05:13,478
Secret Service rules state
that use of intoxicating liquor...
795
01:05:13,640 --> 01:05:16,632
...is strictly prohibited
while agents are on travel status"...
796
01:05:16,800 --> 01:05:18,950
...as these agents were.
797
01:05:19,440 --> 01:05:22,113
Four of the nine
who violated rules last night...
798
01:05:22,280 --> 01:05:25,716
...have key responsibilities
in the Dallas motorcade.
799
01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:40,516
Air Force Number 1,
ladies and gentlemen...
800
01:05:40,680 --> 01:05:43,035
... carrying the president
of the United States.
801
01:05:43,240 --> 01:05:45,959
With the seal on the side.
802
01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:56,558
Beautiful sight. Beautiful sight.
803
01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:11,432
Did you hear those shots?
804
01:12:11,600 --> 01:12:13,636
- What are you doing here?
- It's all right.
805
01:12:13,800 --> 01:12:15,233
- What happened?
- Secret Service.
806
01:12:33,840 --> 01:12:36,718
Hey, you. Come here.
807
01:12:37,680 --> 01:12:39,477
- Who are you?
- Hell, I work here.
808
01:12:39,640 --> 01:12:41,198
- He work here too?
- Yeah.
809
01:12:41,360 --> 01:12:42,952
Okay.
810
01:12:45,480 --> 01:12:47,994
We have just arrived
here at Parkland Hospital.
811
01:12:48,200 --> 01:12:50,475
It's hard to tell what's really going on.
812
01:12:52,840 --> 01:12:55,479
People here with dazed looks
on their faces.
813
01:12:55,640 --> 01:12:57,710
Police are keeping everybody out.
814
01:12:57,880 --> 01:13:00,348
Very difficult to believe
this has happened.
815
01:13:00,560 --> 01:13:03,597
We understand they're giving
the president blood transfusions...
816
01:13:03,760 --> 01:13:06,718
... and fighting very hard
to save his life.
817
01:13:06,920 --> 01:13:09,434
Word just came through
on Secretary Rusk's news ticker.
818
01:13:09,600 --> 01:13:12,353
The president's been shot.
Get me Defense.
819
01:13:17,960 --> 01:13:19,712
Something's happened
to my codebook.
820
01:13:21,080 --> 01:13:22,911
Hello? Hello?
821
01:13:23,080 --> 01:13:25,514
Defense Department? Is this the...?
822
01:13:26,440 --> 01:13:28,078
Hello?
823
01:13:28,720 --> 01:13:31,029
- Hello?
- Have you called him yet?
824
01:13:31,200 --> 01:13:33,760
There's no answer, senator.
The line went dead.
825
01:13:33,960 --> 01:13:36,315
I'm sorry, our lines
are temporarily out of order.
826
01:13:36,520 --> 01:13:38,875
I'm sorry, our lines are out of order.
827
01:13:39,080 --> 01:13:42,072
Sorry, sir, our lines
are temporarily out of order.
828
01:13:56,280 --> 01:13:59,352
Ladies and gentlemen,
the president is dead.
829
01:13:59,520 --> 01:14:03,513
We've just been given word
that President John Kennedy is dead.
830
01:14:03,680 --> 01:14:06,478
They've administered the last rites
of the Catholic Church...
831
01:14:06,640 --> 01:14:08,471
... to President John F. Kennedy.
832
01:14:09,320 --> 01:14:10,878
Nothing about Oswald.
833
01:14:36,760 --> 01:14:40,150
Dallas police have arrested a man
whom they suspect of being involved...
834
01:14:40,320 --> 01:14:42,709
... in the assassination
of President Kennedy.
835
01:14:42,880 --> 01:14:44,871
He was apprehended
in the Oak Cliff area...
836
01:14:45,040 --> 01:14:46,837
... after allegedly killing a policeman.
837
01:14:47,680 --> 01:14:49,159
This side.
838
01:14:53,800 --> 01:14:56,951
- Did you shoot the president?
- I didn't shoot anybody, no, sir.
839
01:14:57,120 --> 01:14:58,439
I'm just a patsy.
840
01:14:58,640 --> 01:15:00,278
I'm just a patsy.
841
01:15:00,440 --> 01:15:02,556
Oh, knock it off, bub.
842
01:15:02,720 --> 01:15:05,837
This wasn't in the scenario,
was it, Mr. Farrington?
843
01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:08,355
No scenario's perfect, Tim.
844
01:15:08,520 --> 01:15:10,909
Probably realized
the position he'd been placed in...
845
01:15:11,080 --> 01:15:14,868
...slipped out of the depository,
stopped by his room for the gun...
846
01:15:15,840 --> 01:15:18,229
...and then ran into the policeman
and panicked.
847
01:15:18,720 --> 01:15:21,280
- Find out what's happened to him.
- Okay, Mr. Farrington.
848
01:15:21,440 --> 01:15:23,954
Identified as Lee Harvey Oswald,
an employee...
849
01:15:24,120 --> 01:15:25,394
I'll have to leave Dallas.
850
01:15:25,560 --> 01:15:28,279
... of the Texas Book Depository
overlooking Dealey Plaza...
851
01:15:28,440 --> 01:15:29,919
... where the president was shot.
852
01:15:30,080 --> 01:15:31,957
So far, the police are releasing no...
853
01:15:32,160 --> 01:15:35,914
It's terrible, Hymie, terrible.
No, you don't understand.
854
01:15:36,080 --> 01:15:39,470
I gotta get out of this town.
I'm thinking of coming back to Chicago.
855
01:15:39,680 --> 01:15:41,875
One thing I can tell you:
This case is cinched.
856
01:15:43,240 --> 01:15:45,310
That this man killed the president.
857
01:15:45,480 --> 01:15:48,870
There is no question in my mind about it.
858
01:15:49,480 --> 01:15:51,277
Chief, can you tell us in summary...
859
01:15:51,440 --> 01:15:54,432
...what directly links Oswald
to the killing of the president?
860
01:15:55,760 --> 01:15:58,513
Well, he was on the floor
where the shots were fired from...
861
01:15:58,680 --> 01:16:00,636
...immediately before
the shots were fired.
862
01:16:00,800 --> 01:16:03,075
He was seen carrying a package
to the building.
863
01:16:03,280 --> 01:16:05,714
Ballistic tests,
we haven't had a final report.
864
01:16:05,880 --> 01:16:08,348
But it is...
I understand will be favorable.
865
01:16:08,560 --> 01:16:10,869
If we can put his prints on the rifle...
866
01:16:11,080 --> 01:16:13,275
... I am certain
that we can connect him.
867
01:16:13,480 --> 01:16:15,675
Are there any other suspects
linked with Oswald?
868
01:16:15,840 --> 01:16:17,353
No.
869
01:16:20,760 --> 01:16:22,318
Thank you.
870
01:16:24,200 --> 01:16:26,998
Is there any indication
that this was an organized plot...
871
01:16:28,320 --> 01:16:30,834
...or was it one man?
- There's no one else but him.
872
01:16:31,040 --> 01:16:32,996
Stuttgart, Gate 12.
873
01:16:33,160 --> 01:16:36,197
Thank you. Let's go.
874
01:16:58,200 --> 01:17:01,431
Jack. Where is everybody?
875
01:17:01,600 --> 01:17:03,670
The joint's closed.
Didn't you see the sign?
876
01:17:03,840 --> 01:17:07,389
No, I came through the back way.
What's wrong?
877
01:17:07,560 --> 01:17:10,996
What's wrong? You stupid bitch,
don't you read the newspapers?
878
01:17:11,160 --> 01:17:12,752
They killed Kennedy this afternoon.
879
01:17:12,920 --> 01:17:15,878
Sure, I know that, Jack,
but why are we closing down?
880
01:17:16,040 --> 01:17:18,679
Because it looks good, that's why.
Now get out of here.
881
01:17:18,840 --> 01:17:20,398
Go on home.
882
01:17:20,560 --> 01:17:22,312
Okay.
883
01:17:24,520 --> 01:17:26,431
Hey, wait a minute.
884
01:17:27,160 --> 01:17:29,628
I gave your number to a guy.
885
01:17:29,800 --> 01:17:32,792
A guy named Burger. Henry Burger.
886
01:17:32,960 --> 01:17:34,871
He's a new cop.
887
01:17:35,040 --> 01:17:38,157
He may get lonesome,
give you a call tonight.
888
01:17:38,320 --> 01:17:40,072
If he does, you fix him up, huh?
889
01:17:40,240 --> 01:17:42,276
Sure, I'll fix him up.
890
01:17:58,240 --> 01:18:00,435
May I bring you a drink, sir?
891
01:18:03,400 --> 01:18:04,753
Drink, sir?
892
01:18:04,920 --> 01:18:07,309
Yeah, vodka rocks.
893
01:18:12,120 --> 01:18:14,350
I really don't know
what this situation is about.
894
01:18:14,520 --> 01:18:18,354
Nobody has told me anything
except that I'm accused...
895
01:18:18,520 --> 01:18:21,239
...of murdering a policeman.
896
01:18:21,400 --> 01:18:22,799
I know nothing more than that.
897
01:18:22,960 --> 01:18:27,431
I do request
someone to come forward...
898
01:18:27,600 --> 01:18:30,194
...to give me legal assistance.
899
01:18:30,360 --> 01:18:31,873
Did you kill the president?
900
01:18:32,040 --> 01:18:33,792
No. I have not been charged
with that.
901
01:18:33,960 --> 01:18:35,837
In fact,
nobody has said that to me yet.
902
01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:37,592
The first thing I heard about it...
903
01:18:37,760 --> 01:18:41,639
...was when the newspaper reporters
in the hall asked me that question.
904
01:18:41,800 --> 01:18:43,791
How did you hurt your eye,
Mr. Oswald?
905
01:18:43,960 --> 01:18:46,030
A policeman hit me.
906
01:19:07,120 --> 01:19:12,240
- You okay?
- Considering I hit the wrong guy, yes.
907
01:19:23,120 --> 01:19:25,509
- Here he comes.
- Here he comes.
908
01:19:25,680 --> 01:19:27,398
Here comes Oswald
down the hall again.
909
01:19:27,560 --> 01:19:28,834
Did you buy that rifle?
910
01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:34,199
Dispatches you people have been given,
but I emphatically deny these charges.
911
01:19:34,400 --> 01:19:37,198
- What will he tell them?
- Very little.
912
01:19:37,360 --> 01:19:40,557
Police revealed no further information
since their first statement.
913
01:19:40,760 --> 01:19:45,311
Sergeant Nelson, you say he was
interrogated yesterday at 4:30, right?
914
01:19:45,480 --> 01:19:48,233
- And again at 6:20, right?
- Yes.
915
01:19:48,440 --> 01:19:49,714
And once more at 7:40.
916
01:19:49,880 --> 01:19:52,314
How many hours of interrogation
did that come to?
917
01:19:52,840 --> 01:19:57,152
I don't rightly know, because I'm not sure
when the last interrogation ended.
918
01:19:57,360 --> 01:19:59,476
Was the interrogation
taped or recorded?
919
01:19:59,680 --> 01:20:00,669
No, sir.
920
01:20:00,840 --> 01:20:03,115
Was it taken down by a stenotypist?
921
01:20:03,280 --> 01:20:04,269
No, sir.
922
01:20:04,480 --> 01:20:07,597
Was it taken down by a secretary
in shorthand?
923
01:20:07,760 --> 01:20:08,749
No, sir.
924
01:20:09,600 --> 01:20:13,149
Well, has Captain Fritz
had any of his notes transcribed?
925
01:20:13,320 --> 01:20:16,039
- No, sir.
- Well, why not?
926
01:20:16,200 --> 01:20:18,191
No, sir, didn't keep any notes.
927
01:20:19,160 --> 01:20:21,879
How do you know what he said
in those three interrogations?
928
01:20:22,080 --> 01:20:24,719
Oh, we got a pretty good idea
what he said, all right.
929
01:20:24,880 --> 01:20:27,838
What time are you transferring him
to the county jail tomorrow?
930
01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:29,911
We haven't decided
on what time yet...
931
01:20:30,080 --> 01:20:32,753
...but when we do,
you boys will get a break on it.
932
01:20:32,920 --> 01:20:35,912
You always have. Haven't you, now?
933
01:20:36,120 --> 01:20:38,759
- Wait, wait.
- Just one more question.
934
01:20:39,920 --> 01:20:43,913
In Washington, a silent crowd
has gathered outside the White House...
935
01:20:44,120 --> 01:20:47,795
... on this grim and somber Saturday,
maintaining a patient vigil...
936
01:20:47,960 --> 01:20:51,350
... while high government officials
and ambassadors of many nations...
937
01:20:51,520 --> 01:20:53,909
Stan? Jack Ruby.
938
01:20:54,080 --> 01:20:57,595
Have you gotten any word when they're
gonna transfer him to the county jail?
939
01:20:59,200 --> 01:21:01,316
Yeah? Okay.
940
01:21:42,320 --> 01:21:44,993
Why do you think
he would want to kill the president?
941
01:21:45,160 --> 01:21:47,230
Was it...?
942
01:21:47,440 --> 01:21:51,752
The only thing I do is take the evidence,
present it to jury...
943
01:21:51,920 --> 01:21:55,435
...and I don't pass on why he did it
or anything else.
944
01:21:55,600 --> 01:21:59,070
We're just asked to prove that he did it,
which I think we have.
945
01:22:17,040 --> 01:22:19,076
How many cases
have you been involved in...
946
01:22:19,240 --> 01:22:21,117
...where the death penalty is involved?
947
01:22:21,280 --> 01:22:23,077
Since I've been district attorney...
948
01:22:23,240 --> 01:22:25,549
...I've asked the death penalty
in 24 cases.
949
01:22:25,720 --> 01:22:28,280
- How many times have you attained it?
- Twenty-three.
950
01:22:36,520 --> 01:22:38,192
There is Lee Oswald.
951
01:22:38,360 --> 01:22:42,797
There is the prisoner
being led out by Captain Fritz.
952
01:22:56,720 --> 01:22:58,915
He's been shot. He's been shot.
953
01:22:59,120 --> 01:23:01,350
Lee Oswald has been shot.
954
01:23:01,520 --> 01:23:02,794
There's the man with a...
955
01:23:03,000 --> 01:23:04,399
It's absolute panic.
956
01:23:04,560 --> 01:23:08,109
Absolute panic here in the basement
of Dallas Police Headquarters.
957
01:23:08,280 --> 01:23:10,077
Detectives have their guns drawn.
958
01:23:10,280 --> 01:23:11,759
Oswald has been shot.
959
01:23:21,600 --> 01:23:23,272
- Did you see it?
- No.
960
01:23:23,440 --> 01:23:25,317
Get them out of the way.
961
01:23:35,600 --> 01:23:38,751
Try to keep the press off.
Please clear the way.
962
01:23:40,840 --> 01:23:42,751
- Stand back.
- All right.
963
01:23:49,280 --> 01:23:51,714
As for what kind of charges,
I can't tell you that.
964
01:24:02,240 --> 01:24:05,038
Would you be willing to say it was,
with all this evidence...
965
01:24:05,200 --> 01:24:07,714
That it is now beyond
a reasonable doubt at all...
966
01:24:07,880 --> 01:24:11,236
...that Oswald was the killer
of President Kennedy?
967
01:24:11,400 --> 01:24:14,312
I would say that, without any doubt,
he's the killer.
968
01:24:14,480 --> 01:24:17,836
The law says, beyond a reasonable
doubt and to a moral certainty.
969
01:24:18,000 --> 01:24:21,788
Which there's no question that he was
the killer of President Kennedy.
970
01:24:22,000 --> 01:24:25,390
- That case is closed in your mind.
- As far as Oswald's concerned, yes.
971
01:24:25,560 --> 01:24:29,917
It's so unlikely, I don't see
how anyone can believe it.
972
01:24:30,080 --> 01:24:32,275
Everyone will believe it.
They wanna believe it.
973
01:24:32,840 --> 01:24:34,512
They have to.
974
01:24:34,680 --> 01:24:36,955
People, the government, everyone.
975
01:24:37,120 --> 01:24:38,109
Even his brother?
976
01:24:38,280 --> 01:24:40,271
He's the attorney general,
for God's sake.
977
01:24:40,440 --> 01:24:41,919
True.
978
01:24:42,080 --> 01:24:44,594
But he's not thinking
as attorney general tonight.
979
01:24:44,760 --> 01:24:47,115
He's grieving for a murdered brother.
980
01:24:47,280 --> 01:24:50,590
By the time his grief subsides,
all the power will have passed.
981
01:24:50,760 --> 01:24:52,512
It'll be too late.
982
01:24:54,800 --> 01:24:56,358
Yes?
983
01:24:57,200 --> 01:24:58,633
That's right.
984
01:25:02,000 --> 01:25:05,754
Hold the body there.
Make arrangements in the morning.
985
01:25:06,920 --> 01:25:09,229
That's right. Thank you. Good night.
986
01:25:11,560 --> 01:25:13,596
That was Tim.
987
01:25:15,480 --> 01:25:17,710
James Farrington...
988
01:25:18,120 --> 01:25:20,031
...heart attack.
989
01:25:24,240 --> 01:25:26,276
Parkland Hospital.
990
01:26:58,880 --> 01:27:00,871
