Original subtitles

male narrator: Previously, on "Tracking Oswald"...

- 54 years ago, the President of the United States was murdered.

I, for one, have never been satisfied

with the record on this.

narrator: CIA veteran Bob Baer, launched a new investigation

into Lee Harvey Oswald, and the assassination

of President John F. Kennedy.

- The official investigation tells us that Lee Harvey Oswald

acted alone.

[crowd screaming]

The pieces never fit together for me.

[dramatic music]

When I was at the CIA, I investigated assassinations.

One man can't plan this without support.

narrator: Following evidence from newly declassified

government files, Bob and former police lieutenant

Adam Bercovici discover that Oswald visited

the Soviet Embassy in Mexico City only eight weeks

before murdering President Kennedy.

- Oswald met with our main enemy,

then came back and assassinated the president.

If someone met with ISIS, and then committed mass murder,

can we really say he acted alone?

*

narrator: The team descended upon Mexico City

where they uncovered new evidence...

- This is an ideal location, for having an initial contact

with the KGB.

narrator: Suggesting the Russians may have

worked with Oswald to assassinate the president.

- What are the chances of Oswald going to Mexico City,

getting to see the KGB, then ending up with the guy

in charge of assassinations for North America?

If Lee Harvey Oswald was working with the KGB,

it would mean the Soviet Union was responsible

for the assassination of an American president.

*

narrator: November 22, 1963,

Lee Harvey Oswald opens fire in Dealey Plaza,

forever changing American history.

Unanswered questions linger, breeding countless

conspiracy theories.

Many believe Russia, Cuba, or even the CIA

supported Oswald in his mission.

In 2017, the final documents from the JFK assassination

are scheduled for release.

More than two million files have already been declassified.

No one has analyzed them until now.

A CIA veteran is on the trail of the most notorious assassin

in U.S. history.

[horn honks]

*

- We have to find out what his relationship with the KGB was.

I want a chronology of Oswald's movements,

what we know to be fact from the Warren Commission.

Let's go through the documents.

I want to see Moscow through his eyes.

- All right.

narrator: Bob and Adam access a central database

with more than two million declassified

CIA and FBI documents, as well as

all official government reports

pertaining to the assassination.

*

[computer beeps]

- "Warren Commission Report.

He was met at the Moscow Railroad Station."

He's met by Rima Shirokova, taken to the Berlin Hotel,

stays there five days, and here we have

an apparent suicide attempt.

*

Most people don't know he tried to commit suicide.

narrator: Warren Commission documents report

that Lee Harvey Oswald visited Moscow

four years before JFK's assassination,

on a mission to defect to the Soviet Union.

*

In October of 1959, a 19-year-old Oswald is met

by a state guide named Rima Shirokova,

who checks him in to the Berlin Hotel.

For five days, Oswald awaits word on whether

he can become an official Soviet citizen.

On October 21, 1959, he's notified his visa

will expire in only days, forcing him

to depart the country.

Oswald attempts suicide and is rushed to the Botkin Hospital.

*

- So what did he do after the suicide attempt?

What do you got?

*

[computer beeps]

Okay, "He was released from the hospital on the 28th,

"accompanied by Rima... driven to the Hotel Berlin

"in an Intourist car.

"After he said good-bye... he checked out of the Berlin

and registered at the Metropole."

The Warren Commission never asked the question,

let alone got an answer, for why Oswald left the Berlin

and went to the Metropole Hotel.

What did that mean?

*

After his stay in the hospital, he moves

from his original hotel, the Berlin, to the Metropole,

but what we don't know is why.

Did someone else move him? Did someone intervene?

That's what we have to find out.

*

We are going into hostile area,

what the CIA calls a denied area.

Everywhere we go, we are going to have

a surveillance team on us.

We are going to have people reporting our movements.

Even though more than 54 years have passed

since the assassination, it's still a very

sensitive subject in Russia.

Moscow can be very dangerous.

We have to be careful about whom we're talking to,

and we have to be aware of our surroundings at all times.

*

narrator: During the 1960s, Russia and the United States

are at the height of their 43-year conflict.

As premier, Nikita Khrushchev blocks

all contact with the West.

As the Cold War intensifies, Khrushchev and the KGB

launch a new era of espionage,

creating cutting edge technology

to monitor their enemies.

Soviet intelligence actively works to recruit

Americans to their cause, reportedly publishing

a secret manual entitled,

"The Practice of Recruiting Americans in the USA."

*

- What I'm here to do is find out if Oswald

was recruited by the KGB.

If he ends up working with the KGB, and they plotted

to kill President Kennedy together,

that's an act of war against the United States,

and it's as true today as it was in 1963.

- The structure of the place hasn't changed since the '60s.

narrator: Bob meets up with local investigator

Jim Kovpak at the Metropole Hotel

to look into Oswald's possible ties to the KGB.

- This would be for celebrities, foreign dignitaries.

- He's got almost no money at all.

He's not gonna stay here.

The Warren Commission never came to Russia

to investigate this for themselves.

If they did, they would have seen

that Oswald moving to the Metropole was suspicious.

There's only one way he could have got in

the Metropole at this point.

It's the government.

Somebody made the decision, we don't need this American

committing suicide here or doing something else crazy.

Let's put him in the Metropole, see if he does any better.

- Yeah, that, and it would have been so isolating,

I imagine you could probably get a lot

of good information on him.

- What's amazing is that the KGB headquarters

is just, like, a block away.

After Oswald's suicide attempt, I guarantee you

the KGB moved him to the Metropole,

but the big question is, was the KGB watching Oswald

inside his room?

I want to look for hard evidence the KGB

was operating inside the Metropole.

narrator: Bob and Jim secure access to Lee Harvey Oswald's

original room from 1959.

- At this point, you have to consider that the KGB

are saying, "Who is this guy?"

And one way to find out is put him in this room,

listen to what he has to say.

They're vetting him to see if he's a worthwhile recruitment,

what he's up to, and one way to watch him is this room

where everything is--

every sound 24 hours a day is monitored.

In those days, the analog equipment was huge,

and the microphones were-- were large, so who knows

what they had in these walls?

Over 50 years later, there still should be traces

of surveillance here.

narrator: Bob is armed with wall-penetrating sonar

that can detect anomalies within the walls,

including any remnants of KGB eavesdropping devices.

- Let's check the walls.

*

narrator: Side-scanning radar is a state of the art

technology that can detect objects only millimeters

in diameter through a wall up to six feet thick.

It sends pulses of energy into the wall,

measures the time it takes for the signal to return,

and creates an image of the wall's interior.

*

- The walls haven't changed.

Those spaces in the walls will still be there then.

- Yeah, I think there'd be anomalies.

*

[device beeps]

There's a hole.

*

[device beeps]

I can imagine what it was like for Oswald being locked up

in a hotel like this.

*

From Oswald's diary, he was, you know, sitting in this room

with absolutely nothing to do.

As nice as this place was...

it was still a prison.

*

He must have been going out of his mind at this point.

*

Yeah, look at that.

*

There we go.

Ooh, I'm seeing--I'm seeing some big anomalies here.

[device beeps]

There we go.

[device beeps]

There's some hot spots in the wall.

See all that down there?

narrator: The radar scan seems to reveal

six separate cavities within the walls,

each appearing large enough to house

visual and audio eavesdropping devices.

- For a former intelligence officer,

this makes a lot of sense to me.

I spent years running operations just like this.

I'm now convinced this is a room that's wired

for surveillance.

I believe KGB was all over Oswald,

but the big question is, were they simply keeping

an eye on the strange foreigner who was acting erratically,

or were they attempting to recruit an assassin

to murder the President of the United States?

narrator: CIA veteran Bob Baer has launched

a new investigation into Lee Harvey Oswald

and the Kennedy assassination.

- I believe that Lee Harvey Oswald

was the only shooter in Dealey Plaza.

But just because he was the only shooter

doesn't mean there weren't others who could have aided him

in the assassination.

narrator: A declassified CIA document reveals that

Oswald may have met with the head of the KGB's

assassination squad only eight weeks

before JFK's murder.

[gunshots and screaming]

While Bob is following Oswald's trail in Moscow...

5,700 miles away, back at the Dallas field office...

- This was never released.

This was not something that was looked at seriously.

- When I look at this, I see somebody who's lost.

narrator: Former police lieutenant Adam Bercovici

works with former FBI criminal profiler Steve Gomez

to reexamine a key piece of evidence

originally introduced by the Warren Commission:

the personal diary of Lee Harvey Oswald.

- In terms of Oswald, we have something

that is really a little treasure in terms of an investigation.

We have his diary.

That's a window into his personality,

a window into his soul.

So right here is gonna be one of the early diary entries.

[dramatic music]

narrator: Lee Harvey Oswald penned a personal diary

during his visit to Moscow in 1959.

During that trip, Oswald attempted to defect

to the Soviet Union, but when his efforts failed,

he attempted suicide and was rushed to the local hospital.

*

- This is the critical diary entry because

it's a big moment for Oswald. - Yes.

- It's when he finds out that he's gotta leave.

"Eve 6:00, received word from police official.

"I must leave country tonight at 8:00 p.m. as visa expires.

"I am shocked. My found dreams are shattered

"because of a petty official, because bad planning.

"I planned too much.

7:00 p.m., I decide to end it."

*

"Soak wrist in cold water to numb the pain..."

*

"And slash my left wrist..."

*

"Plunge wrist into bathtub of hot water.

"I think, when Rima comes at 8:00 to find me dead,

it will be a great shock."

- The thing that just pops out from this diary entry, Adam,

is the part on the fourth line where he says,

"dreams are shattered."

*

You can just see his world is crumbling.

He's waiting, and he's ready to go, for the phone to ring

to come down to meet with the Soviets once again,

and it's not happening.

So it looks like all the waiting and the nervous energy

is causing him to now do something.

He now comes to the mindset of "I'm gonna attempt suicide."

*

So what's also interesting about what he writes

in this part of the diary is the fact that

he had been planning this for two years.

So let's think about this.

He is about--he's 19 when this is taking place.

So if he's been planning this for roughly two years,

that takes him back to 17, and he's in the military.

He's in the Marines. You know, did something happen

in the Marine Corps that started to trigger

this plan of one day he's going to defect and become

a Russian citizen as he tried to do and as he describes here?

- It also is consistent in what we know about Oswald

is that nothing that he does is really random.

He's a planner.

- To me, it appears that he wasn't really trying

to commit suicide. He didn't wanna die.

He wanted to make some type of action

that was going to get the Soviet Union's attention,

to get them to realize, "Hey, don't throw me out

"of the country. Let's--

You know, talk to me some more."

And by him then having to go to the hospital,

they're not gonna throw him out.

narrator: Oswald's next diary entry is dated

October 28, 1959, written less than two weeks

after his attempted suicide.

- "Rima notifies me that pass and registration office

"wishes to see me about my future.

"We enter the offices to find four officials waiting for me,

"all unknown to me.

"They ask how my arm is. I say okay.

"They ask, 'Do you want to go to your homeland?'

"I say no. I say I want to reside in the Soviet Union.

They say, 'We'll see about that.'"

- You can bet money that at least one of them,

if not more, are KGB agents.

They're gonna try to figure out what do we have here.

- He's being brought into the Soviet machine,

their way of dealing with people that are trying to defect,

and maybe even their way of dealing with people

that they're gonna turn.

narrator: As Adam and Steve uncover possible contact

between Oswald and the KGB...

Bob Baer continues

his investigation on the ground in Moscow.

*

- We need direct access.

There's just too much stuff out there that we're not getting

the original version.

narrator: Bob and local investigator, Jim Kovpak,

are attempting to track down a KGB agent

with personal knowledge of Lee Harvey Oswald.

- We need somebody from that era.

- Straight to the source.

narrator: After Oswald's suicide attempt

during his 1959 trip to Moscow...

he was relocated to a hotel

seemingly under heavy KGB surveillance.

The question is, why?

- I'm absolutely certain that Oswald was moved

to the Metropole so the KGB could better watch him,

but we still don't know their motivations.

I'm gonna call in my network.

Jim's going to call his.

We'll see if we can find somebody.

Let's get a list of people.

Anybody who knew the United States,

knew American targets at that time.

Finding a KGB officer active in the '60s isn't gonna be easy.

It's a pretty small set.

You know a lot of these guys aren't around anymore.

- [speaking Russian]

- If we can, we'll be at the doorstep of finding out

whether the KGB assassinated Kennedy.

Make it happen.

[ominous music]

narrator: Reaching out to his intelligence network,

Bob secures a meeting with Oleg Nechiporenko,

one of the only surviving KGB agents with personal

knowledge of Oswald who's willing to talk.

- I have no idea what this guy knows

or what he'll be able to tell me,

but he's our best chance of understanding

what Oswald's connections were with the KGB.

*

Oswald, when he comes in 1959, why didn't the KGB

at that point try to recruit him?

- [translating into Russian]

- Mm-hmm.

- They agree to give him temporary residency

in the Soviet Union, and basically the question

of his permanent residency in the Soviet Union,

and citizenship, of course, that is to be determined

within the period of one year.

*

narrator: Lee Harvey Oswald initially arrives in Moscow

on October 16, 1959.

Three months later, he's moved to the city of Minsk,

over 400 miles from Moscow, where he's continuously

watched by the KGB.

According to Oleg, this move is intended to delay

the KGB's long-term decision about what to do

with the American.

In Minsk, Oswald works at a radio and TV factory,

marries Soviet native, Marina Prusakova

and has a daughter.

The Oswalds leave Minsk in 1962 and return

to the United States.

*

- Wouldn't it have been better to just throw him

out of the country?

- You didn't know.

- They were not sure yet. They wanted the time

to watch him. - That's perfect, yes.

- So they listened to his apartment,

they put surveillance on him, everything.

- After 20 years in the CIA, I know how to assess sources,

and every bone in my body tells me Oleg is a credible source.

The details he recalled line ue

of KGB operations and their evaluation of potential assets.

Did you meet him when he was in Moscow?

Oswald? - No.

- You met him in Mexico City?

- Two months before he assassinated Kennedy.

*

[horns honking]

narrator: Former CIA agent Bob Baer has launched

an investigation into Lee Harvey Oswald

following new evidence from declassified government files.

A CIA document puts Oswald inside the Soviet Embassy

in Mexico City only eight weeks

before the murder of President Kennedy.

Bob has secured unprecedented access to a KGB agent

present at that meeting, Oleg Nechiporenko.

- You met him in Mexico City? - Yes.

- This puts the case in a whole new light.

It's the closest we've ever been to being in the room

with Oswald.

How long did you meet him for?

- What was his demand?

- [translating into Russian]

- Basically what he demanded from them is he wanted

another visa to go back to the Soviet Union.

What he told them is that the FBI was harassing him,

and harassing his family, that he couldn't get

any kind of decent work in the U.S., and basically

he needed to go back to the Soviet Union.

That's what he wanted.

- Who else did Oswald meet?

- [translating into Russian]

- Kostikov was from Department 13.

We learned from the documents that Kostikov was

the head of Department 13, the section of the KGB

dealing with assassinations and covert operations.

[dramatic music]

narrator: The KGB's Department 13 was

a special branch of highly trained personnel

reportedly handling operations known as liquid affairs.

Though Valeriy Kostikov publicly worked as a diplomat

for the Soviet Embassy in Mexico City,

CIA documents report that he covertly headed

this notorious section of the KGB.

- And then that becomes the matter of the KGB.

*

- He was crying?

- [translating into Russian]

- So he was crying, he was nervous...

- Oleg explained to him that-- that they couldn't give him

a visa there because, since he was a citizen

of the United States, he told him you need to go

to our consulate in Washington D.C.

- Washington. - And what he also said

is that even if we could make a visa for you,

because Oswald wanted to leave as soon as possible,

it would take at least, you know, a few months.

Oswald became very angry about this, hands were shaking.

At this point they've already explained to him

they're not giving the visa.

- What else did this guy have on his mind other than

political violence?

*

And here's a guy with a revolver,

comes into a consulate, this is before metal detectors.

So did you think he was crazy?

- Is it possible, and I have to ask the question,

that a part of the KGB was meeting Oswald

to recruit him at the time?

- [translating into Russian]

- No. - No.

- Not possible. - No.

- What I learned from Oleg was eye-opening.

The KGB looked at Oswald as unreliable, unstable,

not good material for a recruit.

- He wasn't a tornado. He was a time bomb.

*

[dramatic music]

- This--this KGB guy, the guy that we got

the appointment with, Oleg,

he did admit that Kostikov met with Oswald.

This confirms the CIA reporting.

narrator: CIA veteran Bob Baer and former police lieutenant

Adam Bercovici have returned to Mexico City armed

with new information about Lee Harvey Oswald's meeting

with the KGB, eight weeks before Oswald

murdered President Kennedy.

- The KGB looked at Oswald as a ticking time bomb.

They knew they didn't want their fingerprints on him in any way.

I think that's right 'cause the Russians have better sense

than to conduct violence inside the United States

in 1963 that any way could be laid at their doorstep.

It just doesn't make any sense.

I've been working this case for over a decade,

and I take my time reaching any conclusions.

Eliminating the Soviets as potential accomplices

to Oswald isn't something I do lightly, but,

after visiting Moscow and speaking with Oleg,

I'm now convinced the KGB was not directly behind

the murder of President Kennedy.

We need to find out what else Oswald was doing

in Mexico City.

*

narrator: At the outset of the investigation,

Bob and Adam searched through over two million declassified

government files for new evidence

about Lee Harvey Oswald.

A CIA document led the team to Mexico City.

In it, CIA director John McCone instructs all employees

not to answer questions about Oswald's time in Mexico City.

*

The team now looks for a new lead from Oswald's trip.

- There's something more to his timeline,

what he was doing those five, six days

in Mexico City that we need to get back into.

- Oswald, '63, Mexico City.

*

[computer beeps]

- Look at this.

Here's the title of the document:

"Siliva Duran's Call to the Soviet Consul Regarding

a North American Wanting a Visa."

On 28 September, 1963, Siliva Duran,

a Cuban Embassy employee, called the Soviet consulate

saying she's got a North American there

who has been to the Soviet Embassy

and wishes to speak with the Cuban consul.

Oswald met with the Cubans.

This file can completely change the course

of this investigation.

We have to get to the bottom of this.

- You know, if the Soviet Union is public enemy number one,

then the Cubans are 1B.

- [speaking Spanish]

narrator: In 1959, Fidel Castro rises to power

in Cuba, establishing the first communist state

in the western hemisphere,

a clear and present danger only 90 miles from American shores.

Castro and Kennedy become instant enemies,

and America wages a secret war to overthrow the Castro regime.

*

- Siliva Duran, who is she?

*

- Let's see what we got.

*

[computer beeps]

- All right, look at this.

"CIA Cable Director 84216.

"Arrest of Siliva Duran is extremely serious matter

"which could prejudice American freedom of action

on entire question of Cuban responsibility."

But look at this.

This cable is sent the 23rd of November, '63,

literally within hours of Kennedy's assassination.

I mean, this is incredible.

So Oswald is arrested. The potential accomplice.

They're not even wondering whether there's any connection.

They just go right for the arrest.

She is clearly a key witness

which the Warren Commission would have found essential

to explain what happened.

- All right, do you wanna access that?

- Yeah, let's look at that. - All right.

*

[computer beeps]

Hey, guess what. Nothing.

[ominous music]

*

- You're telling me that we're getting a blank

to the key witness to the murder

of the President of the United States?

A blank? This isn't the key witness

that we're saying. It's the key witness

the CIA's saying, and the Warren Commission

doesn't talk to her.

The CIA put an arrest warrant out for Siliva Duran

one day after the assassination,

but the Warren Commission completely ignored

this piece of evidence.

Was this just an oversight, or something more nefarious?

Why didn't the CIA talk to her?

If she was arrested, she made a statement

to the Mexican police.

That means that the Mexicans had a file on this woman.

We need to get back into the police files at any cost.

- I agree.

*

narrator: Bob and Adam meet up with historian Jorge Sanchez

at the National Archive to investigate

this mysterious woman.

- This is the federal police, right?

This is the date of the 23rd, look at the length of that.

And how did they get so much information within 24 hours?

- These are redacted.

- When you have a criminal case, you don't redact,

so someone's playing a little game here right now.

- When Siliva Duran is arrested, she gives testimony

of her relationship with Oswald.

What does she say?

- He applies for a visa. - Yeah.

*

- What you're telling me is that Siliva Duran

was working in the Cuban Embassy

and Oswald comes in to ask for a visa.

She tries to assist him, gives him all the documents

he will need, but he doesn't have the required photographs

to complete the visa application.

When she informs him that they need the photos,

he turns...dramatic

and starts to make a scene at the consulate.

[dramatic music]

*

Duran, in her statement to the police,

says she met Oswald only once.

She never saw him again.

- That's what she says.

What's confusing for me is, why would she have her own file

if she's just a clerk?

What's the explanation for her arrest?

You don't go arrest a Mexican working for the Cuban Embassy

simply because she took a visa application.

- I think what's crazy about this is the United States

asked for her arrest.

In other words, the United States

had something against her, either from telephone taps,

surveillance, or a source in the Cuban Embassy.

They knew she was more than a clerk.

It's explosive. I mean, we have to find her.

We have to talk to Duran.

As the team begins their search for this mysterious woman...

Bob's local investigator verifies that Mexican police

believe Duran is alive and in Mexico City.

- You know, we've got some limitations here.

We're in a foreign country.

- Yeah, they're not gonna much appreciate it

if we go over the line here.

Siliva Duran is one of the last living witnesses

before the assassination.

We needed to track her down and see if she'll tell us

the secrets she's been keeping all these years.

*

- We need to find out where she lives.

- Yeah, let's do a skip trace.

*

- A skip trace is something that is used by both

law enforcement and private investigators to locate people.

It's looking for utilities.

It's looking for electrical bills.

It's looking for anything that can--that that person

has put down in terms of landmarks for us to find.

It gives us a chance to go out and find specific places

that we can start knocking on doors

and track those people down.

[phone beeps]

- I got the address.

narrator: The skip trace yields two addresses in and around

the Mexico City metropolitan area.

*

- Hello?

Yes, we're looking for Mrs. Duran.

*

You don't know the name? No?

*

Okay, thank you.

*

- Next right up here.

- Yep.

Well, there was something about Siliva Duran

that flagged the CIA and made them very suspicious,

but, in 54 years, she has not shared the real story.

I suspect there's much more to her story

than she's telling anyone.

We need to track her down.

*

narrator: The first address associated with Duran

comes up empty.

The next location is five miles away

in the southeast corner of Mexico City.

*

- You guys hang way back.

Cameras in her face, it's gonna be intimidating.

*

How, if you're 80 years old, do you walk up here?

- [knocking on door]

- Do you hear her? - Yep.

*

- Mrs. Duran?

*

Ms. Duran, this is Bob Baer.

We're doing an investigation.

Could I get some time?

We just want to come in and talk for a few minutes.

- Please, just-- just five minutes.

*

All right, they're just not gonna open up.

- Nah, I don't wanna force it. Hiding from us.

- That's 'cause she's got something to hide.

*

narrator: Bob and Adam leave the apartment

they believe belongs to Duran.

- Where are you?

narrator: But they continue their efforts.

The team tracks down Duran's last known phone number.

- On the record, to tell us exactly what happened.

She's agreed to meet us tonight,

so we'll head back to her place, this time, with a plan.

All right, now, I'm gonna get back to you in three hours.

All right.

narrator: The team is about to make contact

with a possible accomplice to Lee Harvey Oswald.

Siliva Duran has agreed to speak on camera

for the first time in more than 50 years.

*

*

The team has managed to track down her current address

and has arranged to speak with her.

- [knocking on door]

Wanna try a neighbor?

- Yeah.

*

- Do you know Mrs. Duran?

This is Mrs. Duran's apartment, right?

- Okay. - Okay.

- She--she got up and left.

That tells me a story.

If you're gonna come-- leave your apartment...

- Yeah. - And--to avoid us,

she doesn't wanna say anything.

- Yeah, she's hiding out, making a run for it.

- We got the right apartment, and she just got up and left.

And he said he sees her, and that she's not here.

- Yeah.

- For me, that tells me the whole story.

She ran for it.

The fact that Siliva Duran will not talk to us

makes me even more suspicious about what she knows.

The fact that an 85-year-old woman made a run for it

tells me she'll take her secrets to the grave.

Now it's absolutely crucial we find someone

who will tell us what she knows.

If we can find another witness, someone who can shed light

on this mystery, we could find evidence linking

the Cubans to the assassination of John F. Kennedy.

That would change U.S. history.

Let's move on. - Yep.

[dramatic music]

*

narrator: Next, on "Tracking Oswald"...

- We're gonna go see this guy, see if he'll talk.

- Let's see what this guy has to say.

*

- We have to dig deeper about Oswald's connections

with the Cubans.

My hunch is that Oswald's first contact

started right here in New Orleans.

The deeper we get into it, the more that this guy

does not look like a lone wolf.

He had accomplices.

We got to figure out what they were doing here.

This is incredible.

Oswald stormed into the embassy saying,

"I'm going to kill Kennedy for this."

This document could finally reveal Oswald's motive

for the assassination of John F. Kennedy.

- That is something else. - This is explosive.
