All language subtitles for Episode 3 - Brothers In Arms

I, John Fitzgerald Kennedy,

do solemnly swear...

Just over 100 years

after his family first
set foot in the country,

John F. Kennedy becomes president

of the United States of America.

The Kennedys have achieved their dream.

But in his first year in the white house,

jfk learns

winning power is one thing,

wielding it is another.

Engulfed by violence at home

and conflict around the world,

he turns to those he trusts the most:

Family.

The day of the inauguration
was very, very cold.

We were on the structure
where all the press were,

freezing cold.

But it was a moment of great pride

for our family.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy

is making history:

He is about to be sworn in

as america's youngest elected president.

Jfk arrived when he became president.

What a big satisfaction

and relief for the family.

We had this beautiful couple

in Jackie and Jack

that believed in trying new things,

seeing new worlds,

and believing in the promise of america,

in a way that that had not been said

or thought of previously.

I, John Fitzgerald Kennedy,

do solemnly swear

that I will faithfully execute

the office of president
of the United States.

For the family,

having a Kennedy in the white house,

it's the inauguration of their ambition.

Jack is cheered on by his family:

The president's brothers,

his sisters,

his mother, Rose,

his wife, Jackie,

and the patriarch himself,
Joseph p. Kennedy.

Joe Kennedy, who had been

the behind-the-scenes
strategist, architect,

stood up and doffed
his top hat to Kennedy.

He's waving to his father.

And it was a great moment

that showed his paternal pride.

Let every nation know,

whether it wishes US well or ill,

that we shall pay any price

to assure the survival
and the success of Liberty.

And so, my fellow Americans,

ask not what your country can do for you,

ask what you can do for your country.

There was just a sense that

we could see a different world.

The torch has passed
to the new generation,

who were focused on

what the future would bring.

Invitations to the inaugural celebrations

are the hottest tickets in town.

The stars come out in full force for jfk:

Tony Curtis, Janet Leigh,

gene Kelly, and frank Sinatra.

One of the things that
the Kennedys did well

was to bring Hollywood to Washington.

They understood performance.

They understood style.

The Kennedy administration
was the rat pack '60s.

Jackie actually appeared

in a white gown that she had designed

to set her apart,

and it was a very tight sheath

in comparison to all these women

in these big skirted gowns.

Here comes Mrs. Joseph p. Kennedy,

the mother of the president
of the United States.

On the road to the white house,

Rose Kennedy has campaigned tirelessly

to get her son elected.

It's important to keep in mind

that Rose Kennedy evidently had

dynastic ambitions for the family.

This is not just the story

of Joseph p. Kennedy,

prominent, pushing father.

This is a joint effort

on the part of both Joseph
p. Kennedy and Rose.

Jack's brother Robert and wife Ethel

join in the family's triumph.

Bobby had been Jack's campaign manager,

and their father is adamant

he's handed an important role

in the new administration.

Joe Kennedy let Jack

choose his cabinet -

with one exception.

Joe insisted

that the next Attorney General

be Robert Kennedy.

One cold December morning,

the president gets Bobby Kennedy

up in his house in Georgetown

and tells him he's going
to be appointing him

as Attorney General,

and he says,

"Bobby, grab your balls. Let's go."

Jfk stops at the door and says,

"hey, comb your hair."

Bobby, for most of his career

a senate investigator,

is announced to the world as the new head

of america's criminal justice system.

In looking for an Attorney General

who must lead the
fight for law enforcement,

who must administer our laws

without favor

and with matchless integrity,

I have turned to a man

in whom I have found these qualities.

It was an act of outrageous,

brazen nepotism.

Bobby, who had never tried

a case in a court of law,

may have been, in American history,

the least prepared person
to be Attorney General.

I am pleased to accept the position

of the attorney generalship

of the United States.

I understand and realize

the great problems and difficulties

that will be facing all of US

in that position.

What was really kind
of stunning at the time?

Barely a peep of objection.

I mean, the press went
completely along with it.

Bobby didn't want to be Attorney General.

Jack didn't want his brother
to be Attorney General.

Nobody thought it was a good idea,

but Joe insisted.

Joe knew that Jack,

a newcomer to the presidency,

needed someone to watch his back,

someone to protect him.

He knew that the responsibilities

that were now going to be
put on his son's shoulders

were absolutely enormous.

The country is really

swept away by jfk and Jackie

in a way that the country has never been

swept away before by anybody in office.

Jack is at the forefront,

and he brings with him

his beautiful wife

and his amazing family.

The Kennedys have two young children:

Three-year-old Caroline

and baby John junior.

No one could remember

seeing children in the white house.

There are suddenly playthings around,

there are animals, there are toys

strewn on the floor.

It's a beautiful and welcoming image.

If it's not presumptuous,

Mrs. Kennedy, what about your role

as a mother and a wife?

Yes, I think it doesn't
matter what else you do

if you don't do that part well,

if you fail your husband
and your children.

That really is the role

which means the most to me.

She was gutsy!

I mean, she's really young.

What was she? Thirty-one or something?

I mean, so young.

Has it been more
difficult, though, honestly,

to fulfill this role?

Since we've been in the white house?

Yes, ma'am.

No. My husband loves a challenge,

and I do too.

He set me a good example,

so...

Let's hope it works out.

The president's sister eunice shriver

approaches his door with some trepidation.

The Kennedy sisters

find themselves in a
more formal relationship

with brother Jack.

The president autographs pictures

for his sisters

and their children.

Yeah.

But in signing autographs for the family,

the president finds it
hard not to be presidential.

No!

Joe Kennedy -

the brains and money
behind his son's campaign -

retreats to the family homes
in Florida and hyannis port.

Joe Kennedy knew

he had to be very careful

not to rain on his son's parade.

He decided very early on

that he was not gonna
visit the white house,

he was not gonna appear
in public with his son.

He didn't want anybody to think

that Jack Kennedy was not his own man.

Jack knows that, traditionally,

American presidents are judged

by their first 100 days.

Jack Kennedy saw himself

as an historic figure.

He saw himself as somebody
who could lead the country

into a new golden age.

Now, it was a golden age tinged by shadow,

because 1961 was the
height - or the depth -

of the cold war.

America and the Soviet union

are locked in a Titanic
ideological struggle.

The US is terrified of
the spread of communism

as it reaches the nation's back yard.

Cuba is under the control
of the fiery revolutionary,

fidel Castro.

He was not only a communist and a marxist,

but he was going to align himself

with the Soviet union,

on an island 90 miles
from the coast of Florida.

The moment Jack becomes president,

the CIA present him with their plan

to bring down the Cuban leader.

The bay of pigs was
a plot that was hatched

during the eisenhower administration.

The idea was

to train some Cuban exiles

to invade Cuba

on the assumption that, on their arrival,

there would be a popular uprising

and fidel Castro would be thrown out.

Kennedy was suspicious about

the viability of this plan

and the wisdom of this plan

up until, essentially, the last moment.

Reluctantly,

Jack gives the go-ahead
for the operation -

with one crucial condition.

He did not want it to be clear

that the United States
was supporting this.

He wanted it to be a quiet invasion.

It turns out to be an
unmitigated disaster.

Early morning hours,

Kennedy is pulled away

from a soir�e at the white house.

The president, in white tie,

at two o'clock in the morning,

is meeting with his generals.

The Cuban exiles were
being attacked by tanks.

They were going to be driven into the sea.

Back in Washington,

the US Navy and the deputy CIA director

are basically saying,
"let US invade Cuba."

The CIA had the notion

president Kennedy
would send in the marines,

he would come to the rescue.

But that's not what happens.

Kennedy says,

"this was supposed
to be a covert operation

in which the US hand did not show.

We are not going to invade Cuba

and attack Cuba ourselves

to salvage this operation."

Over 100 Cuban exiles are killed

and more than 1,000 are taken prisoner.

In the end, the United States

is revealed to be completely behind

this invasion.

As Castro boasts to the world

about his victory,

america is humiliated.

Kennedy was so overwrought

that he began to cry.

Jackie had never

seen her husband

as distraught, as
despondent, as depressed.

He believed his presidency

was over before it had even started

because of this tragedy.

At one point, in the
depths of his despair,

he and Bobby were together,

and Bobby said, "let's call dad.

Maybe he can cheer US up."

Joe Kennedy may not be in Washington,

but he remains a
trusted advisor to his son.

If you look at the records

of Kennedy's calls

during the days of the bay of pigs fiasco,

you will see how many
times he called his father.

Joe Kennedy never, ever, ever trusted

the intelligence services,

and he had warned Jack

about the CIA.

So the bay of pigs shook
Kennedy's confidence

in his advisors.

It even shook his confidence in himself.

But what it also did

was it strengthened his conviction

that he had to rely more

on those he trusted most:

The members of his family.

I believe that this nation

should commit itself

to achieving the goal,

before this decade is out,

of landing a man on the moon

and returning him safely to the earth.

It set our sights up high,

and when you look up,

you think of something

more than yourself.

It's just terrific.

In may 1961,

jfk announces to the world

an extraordinarily ambitious project.

Now it is time to take longer strides,

time for a great new American enterprise.

The Soviets have already

put the first man into space,

and after the bay of pigs fiasco,

Jack cannot afford for
america to be left behind.

The United States was engaged

in a space race with the Russians.

We weren't trying to just
beat the Soviets militarily.

We were trying to beat
them to new frontiers.

This is the Kennedy

approach to life,

which is "win at all costs."

It is not good enough to come in second,

and that was what they
were told by their father

from the time they were little children.

As Jack projects the
superiority of his country

around the world,

back at home,

a desperate struggle for civil rights

is tearing america apart.

If you are African American

in the United States in the '60s,

you're not living in a democracy,

you're living under an
apartheid dictatorship

based on race.

We're still seeing intense violence.

Lynching is still the reality.

If you were black, you couldn't vote,

you couldn't buy property,

you couldn't go certain places.

I said, "I'm sorry, our management

does not allow US to
serve niggers in here."

While jfk is looking at
the moon and the stars,

you see real hypocrisy and contradiction.

How can the United States be a democracy

if its citizens are

killing, are hurting,

are hospitalizing

its other citizens?

But in the spring of 1961,

John F. Kennedy and his brother Robert

didn't care that much about civil rights.

Jack and Bobby Kennedy
grew up rich and privileged.

They never saw any African Americans

other than people who waited on tables.

So they didn't get

the just terrible, terrible prejudice

of southern whites against blacks.

They were worried about Russia,

they were worried about the cold war,

about the "big game", as they saw it.

And they were afraid

that the civil rights
struggle would somehow

distract or deflect from

the main event.

Many are saying enough is enough.

They want the president to take action

against the brutal oppression

that so many African
Americans are forced to endure.

In the south,

blacks could not ride on the same buses,

or at least at the front
of the bus, with whites.

So, in late may of 1961,

there were these young
black and white students

who decided that they
were going to integrate

the interstate bus system in america.

They called themselves the freedom riders.

They're going to challenge

segregation in the south

by riding through the
most dangerous areas.

Passengers on one bus

were attacked at the
bus station in Aniston.

Another bus halted
outside town by a flat tire

was set afire.

It puts the savagery

and it puts the brutality on television,

and it puts kind of
this massive resistance

on display not just across the country,

but across the world.

And the governor of Alabama,
John paterson, has said,

"citizens of the state are so enraged,

I cannot guarantee protection

for this bunch of rabble rousers."

The whole world is watching.

The violence could undermine

Kennedy's presidential authority.

Jfk says,

"get them off the buses.

Stop them from demonstrating."

Jack does not want to back the protestors.

Supporting civil rights would
make him very unpopular

with southern democrats.

Let's not forget

the south is solidly Democratic.

They call them dixiecrats,
but they were democrats.

So a big part of the power
base for the Kennedys

rests in the south.

In a desperate attempt

to diffuse the situation,

Bobby makes a call.

Bobby tried to convince the freedom riders

that they should cool down for a bit

and just not embarrass the president.

The wonderful response

of the young civil rights leaders is,

"we have been cooling off
and slowing down for 50 years,

and we're going to keep going."

Civil rights leader

the reverend doctor
Martin Luther King junior

arrives in Montgomery, Alabama,

to join the assembly.

The church is soon
surrounded by an angry mob

of 3,000 southern whites.

There's a risk they're going
to burn the church down.

And king calls the Attorney
General in Washington

and says, "I need your help."

Hundreds of lives are in danger.

Bobby realizes he has to act.

On the issue of civil rights,
there's no middle ground.

You're either for civil rights

or you're against civil rights.

The Attorney General couldn't very well

let all these people die.

That would have been an immense tragedy.

Bobby knew that he had to protect them.

It was really a question
of doing the right thing,

politics be damned.

Bobby sends in a federal force

to protect the lives of
Martin Luther King junior

and the freedom riders.

And this was Bobby's

real baptism,

in terms of what the civil rights movement

meant to him.

Bobby Kennedy has to be educated.

He doesn't come to
the civil rights struggle

with anything much different

than any other wealthy
white man of privilege would.

But after the freedom riders,

Bobby went from wanting
to have nothing to do

with the civil rights movement

to feeling that he had to play a role.

I think we are just
going to have to face up

to our responsibilities.

I mean, this is 1961, it's not 1861,

and we're going to have to
continue to make progress.

For Jack, the freedom riders' protest

could not have come at a worse time.

All eyes are on him as he heads to Europe

and his first face-to-face summit

with the leader of the Soviet union.

John Kennedy wanted to show the world

that he was a statesman,

but Kennedy was walking into an ambush,

and he had no idea.

I returned this morning

from a week-long trip to Europe,

and I want to report
to you on that trip in full.

It was, in every sense,

an unforgettable experience.

The Kennedys' first international tour

is their chance to present themselves

on the world stage.

In Paris, however,

Jack Kennedy is not the main attraction.

That really was the moment

when Jackie Kennedy became a genuine star.

Because she was so beautiful

and because she was
so young and effervescent,

the primary interest for the French media

was Jacqueline Kennedy.

She was so cultured,

and spoke fluent French to
crusty old Charles de gaulle,

and yet you can see him just melting.

Thousands of people

lined the streets to see Jackie.

She was the first really
glamorous American first lady

they had ever seen.

She wore American couture

in the United States,

but when in Paris, givenchy.

She just knew how to present herself,

to make the most of

her personality, her beauty, her fashion.

We had never seen a first lady

in the TV age

become the story herself.

She made an enormous impact,

and Jack recognized

that this was greatly to his advantage.

I do not think it

altogether inappropriate

to introduce myself to this audience.

I am the man who accompanied

Jacqueline Kennedy to Paris,

and I have enjoyed it.

Paris is a triumph for the Kennedys,

but their next stop, Vienna,

is the real test for the young president.

For the first time,

he meets with the
leader of the Soviet union,

nikita khrushchev.

The world is nervous
about nuclear war in 1961,

and they welcome a summit meeting

between the head of the
Soviet union, khrushchev,

and president Kennedy.

What Kennedy wanted to do

was to show the world,

"I can find common language with this man.

We can do business."

At historic schonbrunn palace,

a state dinner brings Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy

and Mr. and Mrs. Khrushchev together.

During two days of talks,

Jack launches a charm offensive,

spearheaded by the first lady.

They had a lovely banquet.

Khrushchev sat next to Jackie,

and she did what she could to charm him.

Mr. Khrushchev visibly enjoyed the evening

with the glamorous American first lady,

and even insisted on shaking her hand

before her husband's.

There's another Kennedy

dining with the khrushchevs that night:

Jack's mother, Rose.

John F. Kennedy did
not want his mother to go.

He didn't want a huge family delegation

going with him to Europe,
but his mom insisted.

His mother loved the limelight.

She was interested in power and she liked

being around people with power.

Away from the banquets and the cameras,

Jack has a serious mission in Vienna.

Both sides have enough missiles

to destroy the entire world,

so Kennedy intends to make a deal

on nuclear disarmament with khrushchev.

John Kennedy was deeply concerned

about nuclear danger,

that the cold war could
spiral out of control.

Since the bay of pigs,

Jack no longer has full confidence

in his own advisors.

The Kennedys always liked to operate

on more than one track.

They always liked to do things privately

through the family.

And Jack always used Bobby

as a secret messenger

to his friends and to his foes.

In Washington, Bobby has gone so far

as to hold secret
meetings with a Russian spy

to open a back channel

between the president and khrushchev.

It was really something
quite extraordinary.

Things like that had
probably never gone on before.

Kennedy had taken risks

by having Bobby set up this back channel,

and he was hopeful

that the Soviets would respond.

Bobby, through the Russian spy,

had been led to believe

that khrushchev was ready
to talk about nuclear arms.

As it turned out, he wasn't
the least bit interested.

Khrushchev has only one agenda:

Berlin.

Divided by the Russians and the west

after world war ii,

people are flooding through
Soviet-controlled east Berlin

to escape communism.

It's a major source of
embarrassment for khrushchev.

People are fleeing the eastern part

into the west,

and khrushchev wants to stop

that flood of refugees.

In Vienna,

they went off into their meeting,

which was five hours long
and a complete disaster.

The Soviet leader makes
an impossible demand:

He wants Kennedy to surrender
the western sector of Berlin.

Khrushchev just bullies Kennedy.

There was nothing Kennedy could say to him

except "I give up on west Berlin"

that would have made khrushchev happy.

Khrushchev was determined

to put Kennedy's feet to the fire.

Despite his best efforts,

Jack is humiliated.

He leaves the summit
having achieved nothing.

Kennedy's first meetings
with journalists after Vienna,

there's no spin.

He was dejected. He didn't hide it.

I will tell you now that it was

a very sober two days.

No spectacular progress

was either achieved or pretended.

And two months later,

khrushchev built the Berlin wall,

sealed off east Berlin

from west Berlin.

And Kennedy did nothing.

Khrushchev goes one step further.

Testing even more
powerful nuclear weapons,

he shatters Kennedy's hopes

of slowing down the arms race.

Kennedy learned the Soviets

were not as committed as he was

to avoiding war

and that the world was
in a very dangerous place.

President Kennedy's
dream of negotiating peace

has been destroyed.

He retreats to the family compound.

Hyannis port was

sanctuary for the Kennedys.

It was a safe haven.

I mean, despite everything
that was going on,

when they got together at the compound,

all of that was forgotten.

Jack finds solace

in his ever-growing extended family.

In addition to his own children,

John junior and Caroline,

his brothers and sisters

have 17 children between them.

The excitement

when the helicopter landed,

and then they would take
US for a ride on the golf cart

with all the cousins.

There were games, and there was sailing,

and there were parties every night.

There was always something going on.

I think it's those moments

that really kept them sane

and focused

on who they were

and what their mission was -

especially their political goals,

because a lot of politics talk

was going on there.

It was the center of all power.

The Kennedys may have power,

but Jack is frustrated
by how difficult it is

to achieve real progress.

He needs his brother now more than ever.

Bobby became his chief
law enforcement guy.

He became his chief
foreign policy adviser.

He became his chief political aid.

And he became the closest thing

that we have and we will ever see

to a co-president.

It seems amazing to this day

to have these two brothers

who were basically
running the country together.

There's one battle that Bobby Kennedy

is determined to fight on his own:

Taking on the mafia.

The mafia was really

huge in this country,

and there was a stronghold

of mobster influence on politics,

and on entertainment, and on government.

They were very powerful,

they were politically connected,

and when you investigated them,

who would you run into?

You'd run into an elected official.

This is Robert pierpoint,

and that building across the street there

is the US department of justice.

Since the 1950s,

Bobby has been rooting out corruption

in the mob-infiltrated labor unions.

The Attorney General
seldom leaves the office

before eight o'clock at night.

As Attorney General,

he's determined to wage the biggest war

on the mafia in america's history.

We need now more than talk.

We need action.

Bobby Kennedy had this single adjective

stick with him more than anything else,

and it was the word "ruthless".

And Bobby learned, to Joe's great delight,

how to a be a tough guy from papa Joe.

You have a reputation

for toughness, for being a fighter.

We have heard that
your father, for instance,

fostered a kind of spirit of
competition in the family.

I think so, as we were growing up.

I think in any family where
there's a lot of children,

you're always fighting with one another

or competing with one another.

Joe believes making such dangerous enemies

could ruin the Kennedy presidency.

He said, "democrats
don't go after labor leaders,

no matter how corrupt they might be.

Not only will you destroy
your future," he said,

"but you'll destroy
your brother's future."

Bobby was a stern moralist

and a tough guy,

and there was also a kind
of a rebellious streak in him.

He was willing to defy parental authority

to go after the mob.

This was personal.

He felt these people were animals,

and he wanted personally to destroy them.

There's one mobster in particular

whom Bobby is obsessed
with bringing to justice.

Sam "momo" giancana
is the boss of Chicago,

but probably the most powerful mafia boss

in the United States.

He was vicious.

He liked to kill people for sport.

He was exactly the sort of villain

that Bobby Kennedy would want to take on.

When Bobby took on momo giancana

in a senate hearing in the 1950s,

the fat was in the fire.

That was a confrontation that
was never going to go away.

So the FBI detail in Chicago

begins harassing Sam giancana

and his top lieutenants.

They follow giancana everywhere,

wiretapping his girlfriends,

even on to the golf course.

Were we afraid?

No. As a matter of fact,

we were pushed very hard by Robert Kennedy

to do everything we could.

He was a great guy if you were his friend.

I would not have wanted to be his enemy.

Bobby's investigations

may be hitting too close to home.

This guy was well known to Joe Kennedy.

And he was a co-investor

in a large casino.

He and Joe Kennedy had bought condos

in the hotel vicinity.

Wiretapped by the FBI,

giancana makes a shocking allegation

about Joe Kennedy.

On the FBI tapes,

you can hear giancana bragging

that he has a deal with Joe Kennedy,

with the patriarch.

Giancana thinks that
he helped jfk get elected

by arranging for him to
get some votes in Chicago.

Is this the sins of the
father coming home to roost?

There's absolutely no independent evidence

that anything like that ever happened.

I think they're mobsters,
gangsters talking.

I don't think there's any truth to it.

The truth is

the Kennedys did not need
giancana to win Chicago,

but nonetheless, giancana thinks

that he's been helping the Kennedys,

and so he feels betrayed

when the Kennedys turn against him.

Giancana felt double-crossed

and was threatening murder and revenge.

But there's a greater danger

than the mob or the perils of the cold war

that will threaten the Kennedy dynasty.

They've had tragedy in their lives,

but this feels different.

It's going to change everything.

Joseph Kennedy,

while he had left the stage,

was very much a leader.

He was a source of advice, of strategy,

and he was a sounding board.

He was an essential support

for Jack Kennedy,

who spoke to him a lot on the phone,

who Jack could call at two in the morning.

He was really always there for him.

And in December of 1961,

all of that disappeared.

Joe is at the family vacation home

in palm beach.

Joe Kennedy goes out to play golf.

He loved nothing better than to play golf.

He was pretty good,

especially when money was on the line.

And on the eighth hole,

he began to feel faint.

He said, "please take me home."

And he goes back to the house.

Jackie is there.

He said, "I... I just need a rest."

"Don't call any doctors."

Those were his last words.

He then went into his room

and he suffered a massive stroke.

Joseph is taken to the hospital.

Immediately, he is
put on the critical list.

He's in real bad shape.

He's even given last rites

because they think
that he might pass away.

For Jackie to be the one

to tell Jack that this has happened,

it's devastating.

Jack, Bobby, and their sister Jean

fly from Washington

to be at their father's side.

They all rush to be
with him in the hospital,

and everybody is...

In a panic.

Joe might not live.

Joe's doctors don't
think they can save him,

but Bobby refuses to let them

turn off his father's life support.

Bobby, I think partly

as a matter of adoring his father

and partly as a matter
of his catholic faith,

was not about to do anything

that was going to end his father's life.

Joseph Kennedy survives,

but the stroke takes a terrible toll.

It was awful, because
he was such a vital force.

We would play with him in hyannis port,

where we'd, you know, walk
on the beach or go swimming.

So when he had a stroke, it was...

It was shocking.

His face was disfigured.

One side of his body

was useless.

But worst of all,

he lost the power of speech.

This man who never stopped talking,

who was fabulously eloquent,

who could walk into any room with anybody

and command the attention

of the crowd

lost his voice,

lost his words,

lost language.

There was always a sense

that, as long as Joseph is at the helm,

things are going to work out.

Joe is the architect

of everything,

and for him to be sidelined

when they're finally there

is such a tragedy.

And for that to come

at the end of a mean year,

that was a terrible way
for John F. Kennedy

to end 1961.

As Jack and Jackie pose for the cameras,

the mood in the white
house is anything but festive.

We know exactly what president Kennedy

was thinking at the end of his first year

when he was approached by an author

who said, "I'm going to be writing a book

on the first year of your presidency."

The president's response was,

"why would anyone want to read a book

about this first year?"

In 1961,

the Kennedys came into the white house

cocky, confident,

bright.

By the end of 1961, they're chastened.

They've been bullied by khrushchev,

they've been humiliated by Castro.

The mob is angry at them and threatening.

They've made a lot more
enemies than friends,

and some of those
enemies are truly dangerous.

Next on American dynasties:

The Kennedys...

Jackie smiled for the camera,

but there was sadness behind that smile.

He had a reckless streak.

Sinatra goes absolutely berserk

and just starts destroying things.

Aggressive conduct

ultimately leads to war.

She said, "I'd rather die with you

than live without you."
