"He made death his ladder to the skies."
- Edmund spenser.

Well, no. That's just it.

That's why said I want
precinct captains to call in

every half-hour.

Well... well, of course
they can reverse the charges.

Yeah. All right. All right.
All right. Bye.

The, uh, polls have been open
in the west for an hour.

When we get back from voting,

I want to talk to you about
some cabinet choices. No, no.

That's for your transition team. After today, I'm retired.
I just want to know who's on your mind.

Fine.

I'm ready.

See now, that... that's perfect for today.

Look, you look great in that color.
Thank you.

Put yourself down for, uh,
secretary of wardrobe.

Yeah?

Let's go vote for president.

Fine.

Vice president Nixon
and his wife pat voted

in the playroom
of a private home

in whittier, California...

the Los Angeles suburb
where Mr. Nixon grew up.

Mr. Nixon's running mate
on the gop ticket,

ambassador Henry cabot lodge,

was almost totally overshadowed
on election day

by the popular concentration
on the principles.

Well, it's my back.
Do you want a pill? Are you okay?

No, no. I'm loaded up
on this, uh, procaine.

Oh, Jack.

Careful. The hair.

"Life" magazine
says women like you unkempt.

Is that true?

Well, we need men...
older men...

and they prefer
their presidents kempt.

What?

This...

President.

Unbelievable.

Why are we running
in Charlestown?

I mean,
I've never even been here.

We should be in back bay
or Beacon Hill...

people I have something
in common with.

They'd never elect
a catholic in back bay.

Mm.
Charlestown's full of 'em...

second-generation micks
with calluses on their hands.

Suppose I should mention
my calluses are

from trimming sails?

Thanks, pat.
Spread it around.

Be right down!

This is where you grew up.

Yeah. Hellhole even then.

Believe me, the only good thing
about starting at the bottom is,

you sure as hell know where you
don't want to end up.

Here he is... Mr. Charlestown.

Good to see you again,
Mr. ambassador.

Hiya, Jimmy.

And this is the candidate.
Hey.

I'm Jimmy Ryan, Jack.
Jimmy knows Charlestown inside out.

You're a good-looking kid. Uh,
we have a problem of perception.

As far as people are concerned,
Jack's a rich man's son who's

out of touch with the people
who live on these streets.

Of course, we do have
some things going for us.

Jack's a war hero. It was accidental.
They sank my boat.

A modest hero with a sense
of humor. That's grand.

Saved his entire crew.

Swam 3 Miles through
shark-infested waters,

towing a fella by the string of his life
jacket in his teeth. There were no sharks.

Well, there are now.

All right, Jimmy.

A warm stove in every apartment,
a beer in every icebox.

If a bum needs a drink,
if a stiff needs a wake...

And let me know
when that's gone.

What?

Charlestown may be shanty,
but, uh, it knows

when it's being sold
a bill of goods.

We'll be running against fellas
who were born and raised here,

and they live to campaign.
It's in their blood.

Now I can show Jack the ropes...
teach him how to drink whiskey,

slap backs, and kiss babies,

but if he doesn't really
want to do this,

the campaign is doomed
before it begins.

Show him the ropes.

No one gets
elected from charlestown

unless the longshoremen
give 'em their blessing.

Thought that's what priests were for.
And do me a favor.

Don't mention that you never
worked a day in your life.

Timmy Doolan, say hello to Jack Kennedy.
How are ya, Timmy?

How are ya? Hi there. Max! Max O'Hara!
Come here and meet your next congressman.

Thank you very much.

Hope you show me some
consideration in the election.

Hi there. How are you?
Jack. I'm Jack. I hope, uh,

you make it
to the polls this year.

Running for congress.
How are you? How are you?

I hope I'll get you in, uh,
voting this year. Hi there.

Jack Kennedy. Running for congress.
Hi. Jack Kennedy.

Ladies, you coming
down here or what? Hi!

Hey! This is where
all the action is.

Tomorrow's
feast of the assumption.

Jack should go to mass
at St. Bernardine's

and glad-hand
the wives and mothers.

Tomorrow night there's a wake
for Dan Murphy's uncle pat.

Jack needs to pay his respects.
I don't even know the guy.

Doesn't matter. Pat was beloved.
I actually have a date tomorrow night.

Send her over to me.
You're going to the wake.

What the hell is that?

Joseph Russo.
I never heard of him.

Doesn't matter. Every Italian
in this strict has,

and that's
a substantial amount of votes.

Enough to win?

Enough to hurt us.

And that is,
uh, one of the reasons why I,

uh, chose to run in this campaign,
uh, to begin with.

Um, having won the, uh, war,

we must now win the peace.

Um... you know,

I don't believe that opportunity
is a, uh, privilege.

I believe it...
that it's a-a right,

and the people of charlestown
here, uh, they'll tell you,

uh, they want less jobs.

Um... they want...

more jobs is what they want,

and, uh, the fact of the matter
is that opportunity is, um,

is what people in this area, uh,
are striving for right now...

We need new speech writers.

I believe, uh, uh,
not bureaucratic red tape...

It's not what he's sayin'.

It's how he's sayin' it...

like English wasn't
his mother tongue.

We, uh, we've got
to, uh, find opportunities,

and, uh, uh, try to, uh...

Uh, work on that,

rather than, uh,
you know, missing, uh,

the... the, um, areas
that we are missing in.

I-I can't do this!

You want me to be Joe,
and I'm not!

Well, that's obvious.

Well, then save your money,
for Christ sake!

End it right now!
I can't win.

Yes, you can.
Your name is Kennedy,

and Kennedys never
come second, ever.

I've been listening to this
since I was 4.

Well, you can listen to it
some more,

till it sinks in.

Well...

There's no ambiguity in him.

It's exhausting.

What do you want to do?
What do I want to do?

I want to go to Harvard
and teach history, chase girls.

I'm not running against
Russo and the others.

I'm running against a ghost.

I don't envy you, lad.

Gentlemen.

Ladies!
Sorry I'm late.

Ladies, please take your seats now.
Use these.

What? What for? You're a war hero.
Look like one.

No. And now it's
my great pleasure

to introduce to you
a young man...

Gold star mothers, Jack.

Every one of 'em lost a son
in the war.

They'll be lookin' at you,
but they'll be seein' them.

Mr. Jack Kennedy.

Um, having won the war,

we must now win the peace.

Uh, prosperity is
a, uh, privilege.

Um, not only a privilege,
but also a right,

and I believe,
as a congressman,

uh, these are
the sorts of organizations

I would, uh, very much like
to help,

and if I have the honor
of representing you in congress,

I can tell you right now that
that'll be, uh, uh, something

that we will, um, work
to, uh, to further,

and we can... we can help
organizations like this,

and I can do that
for all of you.

I can do that, uh,

uh, by, uh,
various tax incentives.

Um, we can...

I, uh...

I think I know
how, uh, many of you feel.

My, uh...

My mother is a part
of this organization.

She's a gold star mother
as well.

Our house is filled
with many memories,

just like yours.

We, uh...
We see my brother...

We see his smile everywhere,

and my mother cries for him,

and there isn't a day
that goes by

that we don't think of Joe.

He'll always be with us,

the same way that your sons
will always be with you.

And I would say that this is
exactly the sort of organization

that we are gonna support.

This is the sort of organization
that needs our help,

and we're gonna give it to 'em!

This is the sort of organization
that I believe in.

Let me represent this district
in congress,

and I will
serve your interests!

Ma'am, I appreciate that.
Thank you so much. Thank you.

This is my... this is my son.
He was lost at sea. Oh, I'm...

They liked him.

That's 'cause he spoke
from the heart.

That's what it's all about.
Mm.

So what do you think, Jimmy?

I think
we turned a corner tonight.

I think we're gonna make it.
We're gonna try.

What do you mean "try"? I'm still worried about Russo.
We're behind in his district.

Well, what are we doing
about it?

You think I should throw
more money at it?

Money's not the problem.
Neither's organization.

We've got more volunteers
than anyone.

We got
the Kennedy razzle-dazzle.

But we're Irish,
and Russo's Italian,

and there's nothing
you can do about that.

Here he comes.
Mr. Kennedy!

Hey, Jimmy. How are ya?

How are you feeling today, sir?
Mr. mills.

We need you right here.
Okay. Okay.

Mm... I think you need that, right?
There it is. Nice.

So right over here? Right, sir.
Thank you. Over here, Mr. Kennedy.

Mr. Russo! Let's get a
shot of the new candidates! Oh.

Come on, Mr. Kennedy.
Shake hands and smile.

There we go.

That was a lousy trick, Jack.

What are you talking about?

Like you don't know.

I, uh, would like to know
why there's

a, uh, second Joseph Russo on the ballot.
I put him there.

Well, who the hell is he?

He's a plumber.
He works up the street.

He doesn't speak any English,
does he, Jimmy?

Uh, no, sir. He doesn't.

You put him there
to confuse people?

I put him on the ballot
to split the Italian vote.

There's nothing illegal
about it, Jack.

It's the way the game's
played around here.

Congratulations!

Hey, quiet, quiet, quiet!
Quiet, everybody! Quiet down!

To the next congressman
from charlestown...

Jack Kennedy!

Kennedy! Kennedy!

Kennedy!

Kennedy!
Kennedy! Kennedy!

Kennedy!

Kennedy! Kennedy!

So the, uh, projections are looking
good in north Carolina. Good.

Just not so hot in west Virginia.
Oh, I knew that'd be tough.

He just walked in.
Too many baptists.

I'll tell him. Good. You know, I think
we're gonna win this thing, dad,

but, uh, when we do, Jack's
gonna need some serious guys

to help him run this country,

and all he knows is politicians up to the
present time. I have a list of names.

Mr. ambassador, Sinatra called again. It's the third time.
He's upset because I pulled Sammy Davis from his tv show.

Why would you do that?

He helps us with the negro vote
as well as the Jewish vote.

He's black,
and his wife is white.

Every time the two show
their faces,

we lose a precinct in Alabama.

Am I the only one
who understands politics

around here? Yeah, you're the only one, dad.
The only one.

I don't particularly care
what happens really.

I mean, after today, I'm done.
Don't let him get to you.

Yeah, I know.
I-I'm just tired of it.

Seems like, uh,
everything I do is wrong.

Look, he's just on edge.

He's been waiting 50 years
for this day.

By tomorrow he'll be telling
the world what a genius you are.

No, no. No, it's quite clear
in his mind, I'm an idiot,

and he, uh, did it all himself.

Come on.

Oh, well.
Just one more day.

Yeah, and then what?

Then it's just
Bobby and Ethel...

two ordinary people
living ordinary lives.

That's what you wanted,
isn't it?

I want
whatever makes you happy.

Go long.

Ohh! Come on, Kennedy!

You got hands like bricks!

Henry cabot lodge and I have
had the opportunity of serving

with president eisenhower...

Hell, I don't think I'd buy
a used car from that man.

Would you, Mike?

Huh?
Who'd you vote for, senator?

Me? Well, I'm a, uh, I'm
a strict party guy, so...

Senator.

I've, uh, been putting
together some clippings,

in case your wife
might want them.

You know, mementos
from the election.

They're from all over
the country.

Well, that's very nice
of you. Thank you.

If, um...

There's anything else you need,

I'm happy to do anything.

Thank you.

Cynthia.

Cynthia.

Are you okay?

I mean, what... what are
you doing, uh, with her?

We were having conversation.
Just talking. It was...

Well, I-I think
it would be much safer

if you just talk to me.

I-I'm right here.
Just talk to me. Okay.

Recent comments
by senator Kennedy

have been taken
by many southerners to be...

Civil rights legislation.

Seem to
be costing Mr. Kennedy votes,

particularly
in the rural areas

of Mississippi, Georgia,
and Alabama.

Mike, have you seen my husband?

Yes, he's in the war room.
Looks like he's going to win New York.

Yes... and there.

Am I supposed to check
here or... yeah.

With the state of New York

now securely
in senator Kennedy's column...

How's it going? Thank you.
Well, I think it's going really well.

The focus of interest
is now turning

to the industrial states
of the midwest.

You know, I just realized
that in a couple of hours,

the polls are gonna close
on the west coast,

and I'll have nothing left
to do but watch tv.

There's nothing
good on tonight anyway.

So what happens tomorrow?

I don't know.

Haven't you heard? I'm
officially out of politics.

Have you told your father yet?

No, I think you should do it.

Oh.
I don't think so.

What if he doesn't approve?

Well...

I do have seven children
of my own.

Think I'm allowed to make
my own decisions now.

Hmm. Yes. Yes, you are.

Earlier polls have indicated
a strong...

Senator Kennedy's...

Hey, kid.

I've been lookin' for ya.

Bobby says everything's
going real well.

Great.

What's all this?

Thank-you cards
for the campaign workers.

Boy, this has been

the most exciting day
of my life.

I don't know how
you're not bursting!

I rarely burst, Ethel.

Jackie,

you are gonna be the first lady
of the United States.

It's, uh...

I can hardly think about it.

It's all so unreal.

Oh, come on.

Tell me you didn't know
this was gonna happen

the first time you met Jack.

It only occurred to me
the first time I met Joe.

The east coast results
are coming in.

I'm gonna go watch
the returns. Are you coming?

I'll be there in a minute.

Jack, can I pull you away
for a moment?

There's someone I'd like you
to meet right over there.

Started to turn,
and then... oh...

Jackie.

Excuse me. Charlie.
How are you?

How are you? Good to see you.
Good to see you.

Jacqueline Bouvier,
congressman Jack Kennedy.

Hi.

Jackie's the roving photographer
for the "times-herald."

Before that, she worked
in the Paris office of "vogue."

And Jack...
Needs no introduction.

Mm. Well, I've, uh,
I've read your column.

I've read your speeches.

Oh, you've read
the, uh, congressional record?

Christ sake, it's the, uh,
dullest thing on paper.

Well, that's the challenge...

trying to find signs
of intelligent life.

Jackie!

So, uh, what do you do when
you're not, uh, photographing?

I ride horses.

And what do you do when
you're not congressing...

Or cutting a swath
through Washington's women?

You have quite a reputation.

It's not true. If half of it
were, I'd be dead by now.

Or cast in bronze.

I, uh, I sail.
I go up to the cape.

My stepfather has
a summer home in Newport.

Yeah, I like the winters up there.
For sailing or... swathing?

No, really. You get
those, uh, 10-foot swells

and that, uh,
spray against your face.

It's like, uh, needles of ice.

You should've been a writer.

Well, that was the plan
at one time.

Very nice meeting you.

You, too.

Congratulations.
You hooked him.

Trust me.
I could see it from the bar.

He's not interested.

Did he proposition you?

Then he's interested.

How was your ride?

Wonderful.

You should've come along,
mother.

I have to go.
Jack's taking me to dinner.

Join me for one drink.

You're kidding yourself if you
think this is going somewhere.

Jack Kennedy can have
any woman he wants.

Well, he wants me.

Then he must not mind
big shoulders, tiny breasts,

feet the size of...
just stop it.

I'm just trying to protect you.

Well, don't.

He's asked me to marry him.

I hope you haven't said yes.

Joe Kennedy raised his sons
to take what they want

and discard what they want,

with not a flicker of concern
for anyone else.

Well, that's not Jack.

Don't delude yourself, darling.

He'll never be faithful,

not for a single day.

He's just like his father.

Just like your father.

Why can't you
just be happy for me?

Because you're
a silly little girl,

and you're infatuated
with a public man

who will hurt you
every chance he gets.

He loves me, and I love him,

and it's an emotion
you can't understand.

Well, then marry him,
and good luck to both of you.

Well, I don't know
why you let her

get to you like this.

She's, uh, never approved of
anything you've done.

This is your decision.
Right?

Jackie?

Are you having second thoughts?

Are you sure marriage
is what you really want?

I am.

And are you sure
I'm who you want?

Yes.

I love you.

I'll take care of you
the rest of my life.

Will you let me do that?

Yes.

I've got him on the line
right now.

Great job.

Mother? I-I just heard,
we're gonna take Virginia.

That's wonderful, Bobby.
Congratulations.

Michelle's made tea.
Would you like some?

No, no, I'm fine. Thank you.
Uh, where's dad? In his office.

You must be very proud
of Bobby.

I'm proud
of all my children, dear,

but he is a little special
to me.

And why is that?

The older boys were Joe's.

Bobby's mine.

No, no, no.
Just listen to me.

Tell him the situation
we discussed.

He'll be extremely happy
with the outcome.

Yeah.

All right. Gotta run.

Dad, my, uh, source at nbc

said, uh, they're gonna report
we took Virginia.

Ha ha ha!
That's great, Bobby.

That means the whole damn
eastern seaboard's

coming in exactly
the way we wanted.

Yeah, I don't know, dad.
I'm a little worried.

Uh, I think we're gonna have
a difficult time in the midwest.

The Midwest'll be fine.
Well, we have no choice but to take Illinois.

We could lose, uh,
Michigan and Wisconsin,

which I suspect we will.

And, uh, you know, we just
can't afford to lose Illinois.

Oh, we'll take it.
Chicago'll come through.

How do you know?

Well, there are more catholics
there than there are in Rome.

I threw enough money at 'em
to keep 'em in wafers till 1980.

So don't worry.

So, uh, what's on your mind?

Uh, well, you know, I, uh,

I know it's gonna be...

Hectic here for
the next few weeks, so, uh...

I-I just wanted to, um...

Uh, well, I want
to discuss with you...

What, uh, I want to do
after tonight.

What are you going to do?

Well, uh,

dad, I-I want to...
I want to get out of politics.

I want to, uh,

move the family to Boston

and, uh, open my own practice,

spend more time with Ethel
and the children.

That's about it, really.

Good idea.

You really feel that way?

Absolutely.

You made a big sacrifice
for Jack,

and I love you for it.

So whatever you decide to do,

I'll be in your corner,
just as I was for Jack.

And I-I know

I-I rode you pretty hard
at times,

but if Jack makes it
to the White House,

we both know it was you
that put him there.

I-I...

I really appreciate that, dad.

Bobby.

Yeah?

Bobby...

Thank you, Bobby,
for making my dream come true.

Thank you, dad.

No, I'm sorry.
He's not available.

He'll get back to you.

He said he was
going out for some air.

I said, uh, I said...

How we doing in the midwest?

Midwest is fine.

Bobby, she, uh, she works here.

So let her work.

I would appreciate it
if you would just

have a little more sensitivity
and not do that here.

I mean, Jackie's upstairs.

I know where she is.

You're unbelievable, you know.

Hey. Always the altar boy,

aren't ya?

I talked to, uh,
Henry luce today.

Yeah? What did he say?
Well, I gave it to him for about 45 minutes.

He helped me take a look
at the article.

Well, I think I'm, uh,
more nervous than you are.

How are you feeling?

Well,
my knee's still killing me

from that blind-side hit
you put on me yesterday.

No, no, I mean, uh,
about getting married.

All right. All right.

We'll get this show on the road
just as soon

as I've had a man-to-man talk with the bridegroom.

Newsreels are turning like
it's a coronation.

They're calling it the wedding of the decade.
I will see you at the altar.

No, no. No, you can stay.
I'll be quick.

I'm renting the cardinal
by the hour.

You got yourself a good girl.

Jackie's smart, uh, well-bred,
damn attractive.

That's all to our advantage.

Is that our man-to-man talk?

No, no. Not exactly. Uh...

Just...

Just stay discreet.

Wives don't expect fidelity,

but they don't want infidelity
thrown in their faces.

What? No, no. Dad,
why would you even say that?

That's not true.

Jack, remember, you... you take
that vow before God.

Sometimes you make me think
I've failed as a father.

Thanks, dad.

Above all, make sure
the girls are discreet.

I knew...

What I was getting myself into.

I... all the women throwing
themselves at him...

I just thought he'd...

Throw some of them back.

I'll talk to him.

And tell him what?

"Just don't get caught"?

That's not a solution.

Well,
what do you want me to do?

Nothing.

I just wanted
you to know that I'm...

Going to file for divorce.

Well, y-y-you're upset.

I-I understand that,
but, um...

He'll grow up.

He'll change.

He can't change.

This is what he is.
This is...

How he's been raised.

Don't talk to me about
how he's been raised.

Jackie, if you, uh,

if you divorce him,
his career would be over.

Everything he's worked for...

It would destroy him.

And what about me?

Don't I deserve a life?

Yes, you do,
and you'll have one.

Do you think Jack's
gonna be in the senate

for the rest of his life?

He's gonna run for president in 1960
and he's gonna win. Have you told him?

That makes you the first lady
at the age of 31.

What difference
does that make if...

He doesn't respect me?

He respects you.

And he loves you.

He keeps telling me
all the time,

you're the best thing that ever happened.
To his career.

To him.

You're going through
a rough patch.

Rough patch?

That's all I've ever known.

I-I want a husband.

I-I want a family.

And you'll have them both.
I guarantee it.

But you have to stay.

I'll put a million dollars
into a trust.

If Jack doesn't make it
to the White House,

you can have your divorce
and keep the million dollars.

You really think
everyone can be bought?

I haven't met the exception.

Well, you have now.

Jackie?

Do you love him?

That's not the point.

That's exactly the point.

Look, I know he's not perfect.
No man is.

But I do know,
you can be happy with him.

And I'll see to it
that you are.

Yeah!

You sure you don't need me
for anything else, Mr. Kennedy?

No, no, no. Thanks.
You should get some sleep.

You, too.

I know that Jack will win.

No, we've come too far to lose.

Now I need to make
an early start.

There's gonna be
a Mountain of calls tomorrow.

I'll be here.

I miss being with you, Joe.

It's chilly out there.

Would you like a sweater?

Thank you, Mrs. Kennedy.
I'll be fine.

Good night.

Good night, dear.

Good night.

Shall we go to bed, Rosie girl?

The vice president
expressed his appreciation

to his staff and to
the volunteers in the ballroom,

but he stopped short
of a concession.

Bastard just won't concede.

...Electoral politics is
well known,

and according to sources,

being urged by several members
of his inner circle,

to make
his concession speech now.

Thanks for everything.

Sure.

Even if he does concede,
there is always the possibility

that he might ask
for a recount...

Okay.

I'm tired.
I'm gonna go to bed.

What do you mean?
You're not gonna watch this?

I'm tired.

Mr. president! Mr. president!
Mr. president!

Wake up.
Mr. president, wake up.

Mrs. Shaw?
Wake up, Mr. president.

Are we in?

Congratulations, sir.

Jack.

I couldn't have done it
without you. Or you. Come here.

What's this? What's this?

What... oh! Oh! Oh!

My head!

The unexpectedly delayed climax

saw senator Kennedy the Victor

with a clear margin
of electoral votes.

At 43 years of age, he is
the youngest man ever voted...

Well, we're just gonna have
to, uh, stay after him, lyndon.

Well, thank you for everything.

Well, I will.

Mm-hmm.

...Of a long-standing
political...

He, uh, says congratulations
from, uh, him and lady bird.

That's nice.

Come on.
Uh, let's get downstairs

and, uh, bask in our glory.

You okay?

Jack,
you're going to be president,

and things are
going to be different...

Well, honey, I think that's probably true.
Between us.

Our marriage works

because I decided
several years ago

to accept certain things
about you,

and I've dealt with it.

I've had
my private humiliations,

but I won't have them
in front of the American people.

The "times" wrote the same damn thing.
I know. It was perfect.

Did you sleep at all? Are you kidding?
I can't believe you did.

We did it. We did it.
Oh.

Closest margin in history, dad.
You think I was gonna pay for a landslide?

I love you, boys.

Now wait. Wait. Wait.

I have some, uh, ideas for your cabinet.
Mm. Oh, here we go.

Can't we just enjoy this, just
for the afternoon?

I think his memory's,
uh, failing him.

Dad, you got me as, uh, Attorney General.
Yeah, because that's where you're gonna be.

We talked about this.
You said you were fine.

I'm going to Boston tomorrow to look for office space.
No, you're not. Jack needs somebody he can trust,

and I need you
to keep an eye on Jack.

I'm picking my own cabinet,
dad.

I believe they elected me
president, not you.

That's very true, son.

They did.
