1
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,002
January, 1961.
2
00:00:59,253 --> 00:01:03,173
President Dwight D. Eisenhower's
Farewell Address to the Nation.
3
00:01:03,424 --> 00:01:08,262
This conjunction of an immense military
establishment and arms industry is new...
4
00:01:08,846 --> 00:01:10,848
...in the American experience.
5
00:01:11,014 --> 00:01:12,599
The total influence...
6
00:01:12,766 --> 00:01:15,437
...economic, political,
even spiritual...
7
00:01:16,271 --> 00:01:20,859
...is felt in every city, every
statehouse, every government office.
8
00:01:21,359 --> 00:01:23,695
We must guard against the acquisition...
9
00:01:23,862 --> 00:01:27,699
...of unwarranted influence,
whether sought or unsought...
10
00:01:27,866 --> 00:01:30,785
...by the military-industrial complex.
11
00:01:31,036 --> 00:01:33,538
We must never let the weight
of this combination...
12
00:01:33,705 --> 00:01:36,624
...endanger our liberties
or democratic processes.
13
00:01:38,126 --> 00:01:39,587
November, 1960.
14
00:01:40,129 --> 00:01:43,215
Senator John Fitzgerald
Kennedy of Massachusetts...
15
00:01:43,382 --> 00:01:46,469
...wins one of the narrowest election
victories in American history...
16
00:01:46,719 --> 00:01:51,307
...over Vice President Richard Nixon by
a little more than 100,000 votes.
17
00:01:51,974 --> 00:01:55,895
Alongside his beautiful and elegant
wife, Jacqueline Bouvier...
18
00:01:56,062 --> 00:01:59,732
...Kennedy is the symbol of the
new freedom of the 1960s...
19
00:01:59,899 --> 00:02:03,069
...signifying change and upheaval
to the American public.
20
00:02:03,277 --> 00:02:05,072
All men are created equal.
21
00:02:05,322 --> 00:02:08,742
Every degree of mind and spirit
that I possess will be devoted...
22
00:02:08,909 --> 00:02:10,744
...to freedom around the world.
23
00:02:10,994 --> 00:02:13,413
Today, the proudest boast is:
24
00:02:13,580 --> 00:02:15,499
"Ich bin ein Berliner!"
25
00:02:16,500 --> 00:02:21,338
He inherits a secret war against the
communist Castro dictatorship in Cuba...
26
00:02:21,505 --> 00:02:24,925
...a war run by the CIA
and angry Cuban exiles.
27
00:02:25,175 --> 00:02:27,511
Castro is a successful revolutionary...
28
00:02:27,678 --> 00:02:30,681
...frightening to American business
interests in Latin America.
29
00:02:31,182 --> 00:02:34,602
This war culminates in the disastrous
Bay of Pigs invasion...
30
00:02:34,769 --> 00:02:36,688
...in April, 1961...
31
00:02:37,105 --> 00:02:41,609
...when Kennedy refuses to provide
air cover for the exiled Cuban brigade.
32
00:02:41,776 --> 00:02:45,113
Kennedy takes public
responsibility for the failure.
33
00:02:45,321 --> 00:02:48,241
He privately claims
the CIA lied to him...
34
00:02:48,283 --> 00:02:52,745
...and tried to manipulate him into
ordering an American invasion of Cuba.
35
00:02:54,455 --> 00:02:56,457
In October, 1962...
36
00:02:56,874 --> 00:02:59,545
...the world comes to the
brink of nuclear war...
37
00:02:59,712 --> 00:03:01,547
...when Kennedy quarantines Cuba...
38
00:03:01,714 --> 00:03:05,801
...after announcing the presence of
offensive Soviet nuclear missiles...
39
00:03:06,051 --> 00:03:08,053
...90 miles off American shores.
40
00:03:08,220 --> 00:03:11,390
Soviet ships with more missiles
sail towards Cuba...
41
00:03:11,640 --> 00:03:13,809
...but at the last
moment they turn back.
42
00:03:14,059 --> 00:03:16,312
The world breathes with relief.
43
00:03:16,562 --> 00:03:20,733
In Washington, rumors abound
that JFK has cut a secret deal...
44
00:03:20,900 --> 00:03:22,651
...with Russian Premier Khrushchev...
45
00:03:22,818 --> 00:03:27,324
...not to invade Cuba in return for
a Russian withdrawal of missiles.
46
00:03:27,741 --> 00:03:31,745
Suspicions abound that Kennedy
is soft on communism.
47
00:03:32,412 --> 00:03:36,416
Kennedy also finds himself
embroiled in Laos and Vietnam.
48
00:03:36,500 --> 00:03:38,668
We've got our difficulties there.
49
00:03:38,919 --> 00:03:41,838
Unless a greater effort is
made by the government...
50
00:03:42,005 --> 00:03:45,634
...to win popular support, I don't
think the war can be won there.
51
00:03:45,842 --> 00:03:49,680
It's their war. They're the
ones who have to win or lose it.
52
00:03:49,847 --> 00:03:51,349
Early that fateful summer...
53
00:03:51,516 --> 00:03:55,102
...Kennedy speaks of his new
vision at the American University.
54
00:03:55,269 --> 00:03:56,771
What kind of peace do I mean?
55
00:03:56,938 --> 00:03:58,773
What kind of peace do we seek?
56
00:03:59,023 --> 00:04:00,608
Not a Pax Americana...
57
00:04:01,025 --> 00:04:04,529
...enforced on the world by
American weapons of war.
58
00:04:04,946 --> 00:04:08,783
We must re-examine our own
attitudes towards the Soviet Union.
59
00:04:09,283 --> 00:04:11,452
Our most basic common link...
60
00:04:11,702 --> 00:04:13,788
...is that we all inhabit...
61
00:04:14,038 --> 00:04:15,541
...this small planet.
62
00:04:15,874 --> 00:04:17,793
We all breathe the same air.
63
00:04:18,127 --> 00:04:20,546
We all cherish our children's future.
64
00:04:20,879 --> 00:04:22,881
And we are all mortal.
65
00:04:33,142 --> 00:04:34,893
You fucking assholes!
66
00:04:42,402 --> 00:04:43,820
They've gone to Dallas.
67
00:04:44,738 --> 00:04:45,739
Friday.
68
00:04:48,408 --> 00:04:50,577
They're going to kill...
69
00:04:50,910 --> 00:04:52,245
...Kennedy.
70
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:55,749
Call somebody.
71
00:04:56,916 --> 00:04:58,084
Stop them.
72
00:05:01,838 --> 00:05:05,341
These are serious fucking guys.
73
00:05:10,431 --> 00:05:13,768
She's been high on something
since they brought her in.
74
00:05:14,018 --> 00:05:16,687
Help! Please!
75
00:07:11,389 --> 00:07:14,476
Here is a bulletin from CBS News.
76
00:07:14,893 --> 00:07:17,521
In Dallas, Texas, three
shots were fired...
77
00:07:17,604 --> 00:07:20,316
...at President Kennedy's motorcade
in downtown Dallas.
78
00:07:20,733 --> 00:07:23,277
The first reports say
that President Kennedy...
79
00:07:23,361 --> 00:07:26,030
...has been seriously
wounded by the shooting.
80
00:07:49,096 --> 00:07:50,514
What's wrong?
81
00:07:52,266 --> 00:07:53,684
The President's been shot.
82
00:07:54,518 --> 00:07:56,520
In Dallas. 5 minutes ago.
83
00:07:56,937 --> 00:07:58,272
Oh, no!
84
00:08:01,024 --> 00:08:02,359
How bad?
85
00:08:02,609 --> 00:08:05,195
No word. They think it's in the head.
86
00:08:13,788 --> 00:08:15,498
Napoleon's has a TV set.
87
00:08:16,458 --> 00:08:21,212
Three bullets were found. Governor
Connally also appeared to have been hit.
88
00:08:21,463 --> 00:08:25,967
The President was rushed to Parkland
Memorial Hospital, 4 miles away.
89
00:08:26,551 --> 00:08:30,555
We are told the bullet entered the base
of the throat and came out the back.
90
00:08:30,722 --> 00:08:32,974
But there is no confirmation.
91
00:08:33,224 --> 00:08:37,480
Blood transfusions are being given.
A priest has administered the last rites.
92
00:08:40,316 --> 00:08:42,068
There's still a chance.
93
00:08:43,903 --> 00:08:45,071
Pull through, Jack.
94
00:08:45,237 --> 00:08:46,280
From Dallas...
95
00:08:46,530 --> 00:08:48,532
...the flash, apparently official:
96
00:08:48,991 --> 00:08:50,785
President Kennedy died...
97
00:08:51,077 --> 00:08:54,497
...at 1:00 p.m. Central Standard Time.
98
00:08:54,747 --> 00:08:56,916
2:00 Eastern Standard Time...
99
00:08:57,500 --> 00:08:59,919
...some 38 minutes ago.
100
00:09:05,092 --> 00:09:07,678
Vice President Johnson
has left the hospital.
101
00:09:08,178 --> 00:09:11,765
Presumably he will take the
oath of office shortly...
102
00:09:12,099 --> 00:09:16,353
...and become the 36th
President of the United States.
103
00:09:17,020 --> 00:09:21,275
He did so much for this country,
for colored people. Why?
104
00:09:25,696 --> 00:09:28,616
Good-bye, you sorry bastard! Die!
105
00:09:29,033 --> 00:09:31,035
Shut the fuck up!
106
00:09:32,036 --> 00:09:34,706
I'm ashamed to be an American today.
107
00:09:35,039 --> 00:09:38,376
The President of the
United States is dead.
108
00:09:39,043 --> 00:09:43,881
I just talked to Father Oscar Hubert
of the Holy Trinity Catholic Church.
109
00:09:44,382 --> 00:09:46,050
He told me...
110
00:09:46,217 --> 00:09:49,971
...President Kennedy had
been given the last rites.
111
00:09:50,221 --> 00:09:52,557
Shortly after 12:30...
112
00:09:52,890 --> 00:09:56,395
...near the park in downtown Dallas...
113
00:09:56,687 --> 00:09:58,272
...the shots rang out.
114
00:09:58,898 --> 00:10:01,066
The President is dead.
115
00:10:02,818 --> 00:10:04,820
The bullets came up over our heads...
116
00:10:05,070 --> 00:10:07,740
...from that fence up on the knoll.
117
00:10:08,073 --> 00:10:10,576
I seen his face when it hit.
118
00:10:11,827 --> 00:10:15,664
His ear blew off and
he turned real white.
119
00:10:18,584 --> 00:10:21,004
He flopped over on his stomach...
120
00:10:23,590 --> 00:10:25,592
...with his foot sticking out.
121
00:10:28,178 --> 00:10:32,015
None of us thought it could happen
in America or any place else.
122
00:10:32,349 --> 00:10:35,602
All this blubbering over that
no-count son-of-a-bitch!
123
00:10:35,769 --> 00:10:39,272
They're bawling like they knew the man.
Makes me want to puke.
124
00:10:40,524 --> 00:10:43,026
For God's sake, the President was shot.
125
00:10:43,276 --> 00:10:44,945
A bullshit President!
126
00:10:45,195 --> 00:10:48,199
Nobody's crying for the
thousands of Cubans...
127
00:10:48,991 --> 00:10:52,120
...that bastard condemned to
death and torture at Bay of Pigs.
128
00:10:53,621 --> 00:10:55,790
Goddamn peace treaties!
129
00:10:56,707 --> 00:10:58,459
I heard shots from over there.
130
00:10:59,210 --> 00:11:02,130
- I heard shots from over there.
- How many?
131
00:11:02,630 --> 00:11:04,882
That's what happens when
you let the niggers vote.
132
00:11:06,384 --> 00:11:09,387
They get together with the
Jews and the Catholics...
133
00:11:09,971 --> 00:11:12,306
...and elect an Irish bleeding heart.
134
00:11:12,557 --> 00:11:14,977
Chief, maybe you had too much to drink.
135
00:11:15,310 --> 00:11:16,645
Bullshit!
136
00:11:16,895 --> 00:11:19,064
Here's to the New Frontier.
137
00:11:19,982 --> 00:11:22,067
Camelot in smithereens.
138
00:11:23,318 --> 00:11:25,070
I'll drink to that.
139
00:11:30,033 --> 00:11:32,870
Dallas police have just announced...
140
00:11:33,078 --> 00:11:37,332
...they have a suspect in the killing
of Dallas policeman J.D. Tippit...
141
00:11:37,499 --> 00:11:41,921
...who was shot at 1:15
in Oak Cliff, a Dallas suburb.
142
00:11:42,172 --> 00:11:46,176
Police say there could be a
tie-in to the President's murder.
143
00:11:46,426 --> 00:11:50,180
The suspect, identified
as a Lee Harvey Oswald...
144
00:11:50,346 --> 00:11:53,016
...was arrested by more
than a dozen police officers...
145
00:11:53,183 --> 00:11:56,936
...after a short scuffle at
a movie theater in Oak Cliff.
146
00:11:58,229 --> 00:11:59,898
Officer Tippit was killed...
147
00:12:01,274 --> 00:12:03,777
...by a revolver which
was found on Oswald.
148
00:12:05,696 --> 00:12:07,698
Shoot the bastard!
149
00:12:07,865 --> 00:12:10,701
Give him a medal for shooting Kennedy!
150
00:12:12,870 --> 00:12:14,872
I don't know what
I am charged with...
151
00:12:15,289 --> 00:12:17,208
...but I emphatically
deny these charges.
152
00:12:20,044 --> 00:12:23,214
The kid must've gone nuts, right?
153
00:12:24,048 --> 00:12:26,217
I said Oswald must've flipped.
154
00:12:26,550 --> 00:12:27,635
Right?
155
00:12:28,636 --> 00:12:32,140
Just did this crazy thing
before anybody could stop him.
156
00:12:32,641 --> 00:12:35,310
I'm going. I've got to get home, chief.
157
00:12:35,477 --> 00:12:37,562
What are you talking about?
158
00:12:38,647 --> 00:12:40,148
Who'd have ever thought...
159
00:12:40,482 --> 00:12:44,987
...that goofy Oswald kid would pull
a stunt like an assassination?
160
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:49,366
Goes to show you can never know
about some people. Am I right, Jack?
161
00:12:49,908 --> 00:12:51,368
Am I right, Jack?
162
00:12:51,827 --> 00:12:53,662
Well, bless my soul.
163
00:12:54,329 --> 00:12:57,667
All these years, I thought
you were on my team.
164
00:12:58,334 --> 00:13:00,169
Are you kidding?
165
00:13:00,837 --> 00:13:03,673
I couldn't be more serious, Jack.
166
00:13:03,923 --> 00:13:07,552
Your little red eyes had me
wondering about your loyalty.
167
00:13:15,852 --> 00:13:18,021
Look at that, Martin.
168
00:13:21,190 --> 00:13:23,235
Who's been going through my files?
169
00:13:23,611 --> 00:13:26,697
You been looking through my
files, you little weasel!
170
00:13:27,698 --> 00:13:30,743
You're starting to get paranoid.
Really!
171
00:13:31,869 --> 00:13:33,704
You went through all my files!
172
00:13:34,288 --> 00:13:35,581
You're a goddamn spy!
173
00:13:35,789 --> 00:13:38,375
Why would I want to look
through your files?
174
00:13:38,626 --> 00:13:41,420
I've seen enough here this
summer to write a book.
175
00:13:41,712 --> 00:13:43,881
I always lock my files!
176
00:13:44,131 --> 00:13:46,091
You're the only one here today.
177
00:13:46,717 --> 00:13:49,429
What do you mean, you bastard?
178
00:13:49,721 --> 00:13:52,057
You're going to write a book?
179
00:13:52,307 --> 00:13:54,100
You know what I mean.
180
00:13:54,392 --> 00:13:57,729
I've seen a lot of strange things here.
181
00:13:58,230 --> 00:13:59,731
Strange people.
182
00:14:08,323 --> 00:14:10,784
You didn't see a goddamn thing!
183
00:14:11,076 --> 00:14:12,452
Not a goddamn thing!
184
00:14:12,828 --> 00:14:15,623
The full name is Lee Harvey Oswald.
185
00:14:16,833 --> 00:14:20,461
- Did you shoot the President?
- I didn't shoot anybody.
186
00:14:20,753 --> 00:14:25,424
They have taken me in because
I have lived in the Soviet Union.
187
00:14:26,008 --> 00:14:28,094
I'm just a patsy!
188
00:14:28,511 --> 00:14:30,972
He sure looks like a creep.
189
00:14:31,681 --> 00:14:35,643
I protested at that time I was not
allowed legal representation...
190
00:14:36,769 --> 00:14:40,314
...during that very
short and sweet hearing.
191
00:14:40,606 --> 00:14:42,151
I really don't know...
192
00:14:42,359 --> 00:14:44,111
...what this situation is about.
193
00:14:44,278 --> 00:14:47,114
Nobody has told me anything
except that I am accused...
194
00:14:47,781 --> 00:14:48,782
...of murdering a policeman.
195
00:14:49,867 --> 00:14:52,661
I know nothing more than that.
196
00:14:52,870 --> 00:14:55,497
I do request someone to come forward...
197
00:14:55,789 --> 00:14:57,958
...to give me legal assistance.
198
00:14:58,625 --> 00:15:01,628
Were you ever in the Free Cuba
movement or whatever it's called?
199
00:15:01,795 --> 00:15:04,006
Fair Play for Cuba Committee.
200
00:15:04,381 --> 00:15:06,675
Why were you in Russia?
What happened to your eyes?
201
00:15:06,884 --> 00:15:09,804
He seems pretty cool for
a man under pressure.
202
00:15:09,971 --> 00:15:11,639
A policeman hit me.
203
00:15:11,806 --> 00:15:13,308
He gives me the willies.
204
00:15:13,475 --> 00:15:16,853
Come on, sugarplums,
it's past your bedtimes.
205
00:15:17,312 --> 00:15:20,815
Mattie, honey, get a hold of yourself.
206
00:15:24,402 --> 00:15:25,862
A fine man.
207
00:15:27,405 --> 00:15:29,866
After a stint in the Marines...
208
00:15:30,158 --> 00:15:34,372
...he became fascinated by communism.
He is said to be a dedicated Marxist...
209
00:15:34,580 --> 00:15:38,876
...and a fanatical supporter of Fidel
Castro and ultra left-wing causes.
210
00:15:39,168 --> 00:15:42,004
He spent last summer in
New Orleans and was arrested...
211
00:15:42,171 --> 00:15:45,591
...in a brawl with
anti-Castro Cuban exiles.
212
00:15:48,344 --> 00:15:51,180
Lou? Sorry to disturb you this late.
213
00:15:51,764 --> 00:15:56,227
Matter of routine. Get on this
Oswald connection in New Orleans.
214
00:15:56,519 --> 00:16:01,024
Check out his record. Find any
friends or associates from last summer.
215
00:16:01,275 --> 00:16:05,195
Let's meet with the investigators
day after tomorrow.
216
00:16:05,445 --> 00:16:06,697
On Sunday?
217
00:16:06,863 --> 00:16:08,699
Sunday. 11:00.
218
00:16:09,449 --> 00:16:10,742
Thanks, Lou.
219
00:16:10,951 --> 00:16:14,037
I would say that he is the killer...
220
00:16:14,288 --> 00:16:17,582
...beyond a reasonable doubt
and to a moral certainty.
221
00:16:17,958 --> 00:16:21,712
I thought a motorcycle had backfired.
I looked to my left.
222
00:16:21,878 --> 00:16:23,880
A second shot hit him in the face.
223
00:16:24,047 --> 00:16:28,845
The rifle, a cheap World War II
Italian-made Mannlicher-Carcano...
224
00:16:29,137 --> 00:16:31,055
...was ordered from a
Chicago mailing house...
225
00:16:31,723 --> 00:16:35,059
...and shipped to Oswald's
alias, A. Hidell...
226
00:16:35,310 --> 00:16:38,104
...at a post office
box in March of 1963.
227
00:16:38,313 --> 00:16:42,108
This same rifle was used to
assassinate the President.
228
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,068
That ties it up.
229
00:16:44,569 --> 00:16:48,281
Another nut. Jesus Christ,
anybody can get a rifle in Texas!
230
00:16:48,573 --> 00:16:53,245
As far as Oswald's associates, one
name keeps popping up: David Ferrie.
231
00:16:53,495 --> 00:16:56,248
Oswald was seen with him
several times last summer.
232
00:16:56,832 --> 00:16:59,919
I know David. Strange character.
233
00:17:00,169 --> 00:17:03,797
He's been in trouble before. He was
a hot- shot pilot for Eastern Airlines.
234
00:17:04,006 --> 00:17:06,592
Got canned after an alleged
homosexual incident.
235
00:17:06,842 --> 00:17:10,804
These photos were found yesterday
among Oswald's possessions...
236
00:17:11,013 --> 00:17:15,267
...in the garage where Marina
Oswald and her children are living.
237
00:17:15,476 --> 00:17:18,813
Somebody mentioned Ferrie on
that Texas trip. Find out who.
238
00:17:18,980 --> 00:17:21,650
He no shoot anyone.
239
00:17:22,192 --> 00:17:24,194
He good man. Good husband.
240
00:17:24,861 --> 00:17:28,824
So it seems David Ferrie drove
off on Friday afternoon for Texas.
241
00:17:29,115 --> 00:17:32,327
A source said maybe he was
a getaway pilot for Oswald.
242
00:17:34,037 --> 00:17:35,497
Hold your horses.
243
00:17:35,705 --> 00:17:37,332
What kind of source?
244
00:17:37,624 --> 00:17:39,668
The anonymous kind, chief.
245
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,797
I remember Ferrie speaking at a
meeting of some veterans group...
246
00:17:43,965 --> 00:17:47,009
...ranting against Castro.
Extreme stuff.
247
00:17:48,553 --> 00:17:51,681
They're bringing him out.
Numa, turn it up.
248
00:17:52,974 --> 00:17:54,308
Here he comes!
249
00:17:59,856 --> 00:18:01,816
Anything to say in your defense?
250
00:18:02,817 --> 00:18:04,152
Oswald!
251
00:18:05,570 --> 00:18:07,363
He shot him!
252
00:18:09,740 --> 00:18:11,160
He shot him on TV!
253
00:18:14,663 --> 00:18:15,831
There's a man with a gun!
254
00:18:18,167 --> 00:18:20,377
70 cops there.
What were they doing?
255
00:18:22,421 --> 00:18:26,925
No trial now. Somebody just saved
the Dallas DA a pile of work.
256
00:18:32,931 --> 00:18:35,559
Let's get David Ferrie in here anyway.
257
00:18:36,102 --> 00:18:38,897
It's wrong. This is crazy!
258
00:18:52,869 --> 00:18:57,123
Yesterday, in the midst of sorrow,
the business of government went on.
259
00:18:57,374 --> 00:19:02,003
The President met with Henry Cabot
Lodge, our Ambassador to Vietnam...
260
00:19:02,128 --> 00:19:03,798
...and members of his Cabinet.
261
00:19:04,131 --> 00:19:06,384
The major subject was Vietnam...
262
00:19:06,550 --> 00:19:09,303
...a crisis that does not
pause for bereavement.
263
00:19:09,470 --> 00:19:10,971
From this meeting...
264
00:19:11,138 --> 00:19:14,892
...came affirmations that the
U.S. would continue aiding...
265
00:19:15,059 --> 00:19:19,897
...the new government of Vietnam and its
war against the communist insurgents.
266
00:19:26,570 --> 00:19:27,989
David Ferrie.
267
00:19:29,574 --> 00:19:31,076
Come on in.
268
00:19:32,327 --> 00:19:33,412
Thanks for coming.
269
00:19:33,829 --> 00:19:37,833
Remember me? We met on
Carondelet Street after your election.
270
00:19:38,667 --> 00:19:41,586
I remember. You make
quite an impression.
271
00:19:42,254 --> 00:19:45,090
I've heard you're a first-rate pilot.
272
00:19:45,257 --> 00:19:49,177
Legend has it you can get in
and out of the smallest field.
273
00:19:49,344 --> 00:19:54,182
I'm a pilot myself. Flew grasshoppers
for the field artillery in the war.
274
00:19:54,684 --> 00:19:56,769
Make yourself comfortable.
275
00:19:58,354 --> 00:19:59,856
Mind if I smoke?
276
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:01,524
How could l?
277
00:20:02,775 --> 00:20:06,195
As you know, President Kennedy
was assassinated on Friday.
278
00:20:06,362 --> 00:20:10,033
A man named Lee Harvey Oswald
was arrested as a suspect...
279
00:20:10,283 --> 00:20:13,036
...then murdered yesterday
by a man named Jack Ruby.
280
00:20:13,620 --> 00:20:16,456
We've had reports that Oswald
spent the summer here...
281
00:20:16,623 --> 00:20:18,708
...and that you knew Oswald.
282
00:20:19,626 --> 00:20:23,881
I've never met anyone named Oswald.
Anybody told you that has to be crazy.
283
00:20:24,131 --> 00:20:28,135
When he was a teenager he served
in your Civil Air Patrol unit.
284
00:20:28,302 --> 00:20:30,721
If he did, I don't remember him.
285
00:20:30,971 --> 00:20:32,973
Lots of boys in and out.
286
00:20:33,140 --> 00:20:37,561
Surely you've seen this. Perhaps
you knew him under another name?
287
00:20:39,563 --> 00:20:41,899
I never saw him before in my life.
288
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,320
Then we must have gotten
mistaken information.
289
00:20:46,571 --> 00:20:48,740
Thanks for straightening it out.
290
00:20:50,659 --> 00:20:52,744
There's one other matter.
291
00:20:55,413 --> 00:20:59,751
We heard you went to Texas shortly
after the assassination on Friday.
292
00:20:59,918 --> 00:21:02,003
True. I drove to Houston.
293
00:21:02,170 --> 00:21:04,339
What was so appealing about Houston?
294
00:21:04,589 --> 00:21:08,426
I hadn't been ice-skating lately.
Some young friends and l...
295
00:21:08,593 --> 00:21:10,345
...decided to go skating.
296
00:21:10,512 --> 00:21:13,182
Why the urge to ice-skate in Texas...
297
00:21:13,349 --> 00:21:16,686
...during one of the worst thunderstorms
in recent memory?
298
00:21:19,355 --> 00:21:21,607
Spur of the moment thing.
299
00:21:21,774 --> 00:21:23,526
Storm wasn't bad.
300
00:21:25,027 --> 00:21:26,112
Where did you go?
301
00:21:26,696 --> 00:21:27,697
Houston.
302
00:21:28,698 --> 00:21:31,367
Saturday we drove to
Galveston, stayed there.
303
00:21:31,951 --> 00:21:33,453
And Sunday?
304
00:21:34,287 --> 00:21:36,456
In the morning, we went goose hunting.
305
00:21:37,039 --> 00:21:38,374
Did you bag any?
306
00:21:39,293 --> 00:21:41,211
The boys got a couple.
307
00:21:41,378 --> 00:21:43,297
Boys said they didn't get any.
308
00:21:46,633 --> 00:21:47,718
They're right.
309
00:21:49,052 --> 00:21:51,972
There were thousands
of geese everywhere.
310
00:21:52,973 --> 00:21:55,809
But you couldn't approach them.
They're wise.
311
00:21:57,311 --> 00:21:59,980
Your friends said you had no weapons.
312
00:22:00,814 --> 00:22:03,984
Isn't it difficult to hunt
geese without a shotgun?
313
00:22:09,157 --> 00:22:11,242
I remember now. I'm sorry.
314
00:22:11,659 --> 00:22:12,994
I got confused.
315
00:22:13,328 --> 00:22:17,665
We got near the geese, then realized
we had forgotten our shotguns.
316
00:22:19,084 --> 00:22:20,335
Stupid, right?
317
00:22:20,752 --> 00:22:23,755
So, of course, we didn't get any geese.
318
00:22:24,672 --> 00:22:27,092
Thank you for your time.
319
00:22:27,759 --> 00:22:30,095
Sorry this must end inconveniently...
320
00:22:30,261 --> 00:22:33,933
...but I must detain you
for questioning by the FBI.
321
00:22:34,350 --> 00:22:35,935
Why? What's wrong?
322
00:22:36,102 --> 00:22:37,687
Your story is not believable.
323
00:22:39,438 --> 00:22:40,690
Really?
324
00:22:44,110 --> 00:22:45,444
What part?
325
00:23:05,215 --> 00:23:08,552
This afternoon the FBI
released David W. Ferrie...
326
00:23:08,844 --> 00:23:10,220
...of New Orleans.
327
00:23:10,387 --> 00:23:13,890
After extensive questioning
and a background check...
328
00:23:14,057 --> 00:23:18,979
...the Bureau found no evidence that
Mr. Ferrie knew Lee Harvey Oswald...
329
00:23:19,313 --> 00:23:23,234
...or had any connection
with the assassination.
330
00:23:23,651 --> 00:23:26,738
The agent in charge would
like to make clear...
331
00:23:26,988 --> 00:23:29,407
...that Ferrie was detained
for questioning...
332
00:23:29,574 --> 00:23:32,410
...by the District Attorney
of Orleans Parish.
333
00:23:33,578 --> 00:23:35,580
I thought we were
on the same side.
334
00:23:35,747 --> 00:23:37,582
Why are they saying that?
335
00:23:37,749 --> 00:23:40,335
Pretty fast, the way they let him go.
336
00:23:40,835 --> 00:23:43,087
They must know something we don't.
337
00:23:44,172 --> 00:23:46,507
So let's get on with our lives.
338
00:23:47,175 --> 00:23:49,345
We have homegrown crimes to prosecute.
339
00:23:49,511 --> 00:23:51,013
The President has announced...
340
00:23:51,263 --> 00:23:55,601
...the creation of a commission
to probe the events in Dallas.
341
00:23:55,851 --> 00:23:59,855
It will be headed by
Chief Justice Earl Warren...
342
00:24:00,022 --> 00:24:04,693
...and is expected to head off several
Congressional and Texas inquiries.
343
00:24:04,860 --> 00:24:07,947
On the panel are Allen Dulles,
ex-chief of the CIA...
344
00:24:08,113 --> 00:24:12,201
...Representative Gerald Ford,
banker John McCloy...
345
00:24:16,289 --> 00:24:20,961
Fucking out of control. All of these
hippies running around on drugs.
346
00:24:21,461 --> 00:24:25,298
You can't tell a boy
from a girl anymore.
347
00:24:25,465 --> 00:24:30,053
I saw a girl the other day. Pregnant.
You could see her whole belly.
348
00:24:30,303 --> 00:24:34,724
You know what she had painted on it?
"Love Child."
349
00:24:39,145 --> 00:24:41,232
It's a mess down there, Jim.
350
00:24:41,649 --> 00:24:45,069
We've bitten off more
Vietnam than we can chew.
351
00:24:45,319 --> 00:24:48,990
It figures with that polecat
Lyndon in the White House.
352
00:24:50,408 --> 00:24:55,079
I sometimes think things have
gone downhill since Kennedy died.
353
00:24:55,246 --> 00:24:57,165
Don't get me started on that.
354
00:24:57,331 --> 00:25:01,335
Those Warren Commission fellows were
picking gnat shit out of pepper.
355
00:25:01,586 --> 00:25:06,007
Nobody's going to tell me that kid
shot like he did from that bookstore.
356
00:25:08,177 --> 00:25:11,680
But the FBI test-fired the rifle
to see if it could be done.
357
00:25:11,847 --> 00:25:14,933
Three experts and not
one of them could do it.
358
00:25:15,100 --> 00:25:19,354
They say that Oswald got off 3 shots
with world-class precision...
359
00:25:19,605 --> 00:25:23,442
...from a manual bolt-action
rifle in less than 6 seconds.
360
00:25:23,609 --> 00:25:27,112
According to his Marine buddies,
he got Maggie's drawers.
361
00:25:27,279 --> 00:25:29,615
That means he wasn't any good.
362
00:25:30,032 --> 00:25:32,785
Average man would be
lucky to shoot twice.
363
00:25:32,951 --> 00:25:35,372
And the first would be the best.
364
00:25:35,622 --> 00:25:37,874
Here the third shot's perfect.
365
00:25:38,041 --> 00:25:40,960
And they got that bullet
zigzagging all over the place...
366
00:25:41,127 --> 00:25:43,129
...hitting Kennedy
and Connally 7 times.
367
00:25:44,631 --> 00:25:47,801
One pristine bullet?
That dog don't hunt.
368
00:25:50,637 --> 00:25:53,807
Something's always bothered
me about that from day one.
369
00:25:55,058 --> 00:25:57,560
Think other men were involved?
370
00:25:58,395 --> 00:26:03,150
If I'm investigating the case, I'd round
up the world's 100 best riflemen...
371
00:26:03,401 --> 00:26:06,153
...find out which were
in Dallas that day.
372
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,824
You been duck hunting.
Oswald's an old-fashioned decoy.
373
00:26:09,991 --> 00:26:13,661
What did he say? "I'm just
a patsy." Believe it.
374
00:26:25,006 --> 00:26:27,426
Dinner's just about ready.
375
00:26:28,844 --> 00:26:32,347
Got a surprise for you tonight.
Tried something new.
376
00:26:38,854 --> 00:26:40,605
- What?
- Dinner.
377
00:26:41,773 --> 00:26:44,192
Smells good. Do you know Oswald...
378
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,696
...was interrogated for 12
hours after the assassination...
379
00:26:47,863 --> 00:26:51,951
...with no lawyer present, and
nobody recorded a word of it.
380
00:26:53,036 --> 00:26:57,790
I can't believe it. A police captain
and a crowd of FBI agents had to know...
381
00:26:57,957 --> 00:27:01,878
...that with no record what Oswald
said is inadmissible in court.
382
00:27:02,045 --> 00:27:04,464
Let's talk at the table.
It's getting cold.
383
00:27:04,797 --> 00:27:06,799
What are you doing here?
384
00:27:06,966 --> 00:27:09,218
Daddy said it's okay if I'm quiet.
385
00:27:09,802 --> 00:27:10,803
It is.
386
00:27:11,054 --> 00:27:14,057
If I handled a minor felon that way,
it'd be all over the papers.
387
00:27:14,307 --> 00:27:16,142
This is the alleged
murderer of the President.
388
00:27:22,983 --> 00:27:26,320
Again and again credible
testimony's ignored.
389
00:27:26,737 --> 00:27:31,492
Leads are not followed up,
conclusions are selective, no index.
390
00:27:31,825 --> 00:27:35,162
It's the sloppiest investigation
I've ever seen.
391
00:27:36,163 --> 00:27:39,583
Dozens of witnesses heard the shots...
392
00:27:39,792 --> 00:27:42,503
...coming from the grassy
knoll in front of Kennedy...
393
00:27:42,670 --> 00:27:45,173
...not the Book Depository behind him.
394
00:27:45,423 --> 00:27:50,262
But it's broken down and spread around.
You read it, but the point is lost.
395
00:27:50,428 --> 00:27:52,264
I never believed it.
396
00:27:52,597 --> 00:27:55,183
I'll do the dishes. You take Eb up.
397
00:27:56,601 --> 00:27:59,020
Elizabeth, your bedtime too!
398
00:27:59,271 --> 00:28:03,441
That was 3 years ago. We've
tried to put it out of our minds.
399
00:28:03,608 --> 00:28:05,527
You keep digging it up.
400
00:28:05,777 --> 00:28:07,779
You're the DA of New Orleans.
401
00:28:07,946 --> 00:28:11,284
Isn't the Kennedy assassination
a bit out of your domain?
402
00:28:12,034 --> 00:28:14,287
All those important people studied it.
403
00:28:14,454 --> 00:28:19,125
I can't believe a man as intelligent
as Earl Warren read those volumes.
404
00:28:20,126 --> 00:28:21,627
Maybe you're right.
405
00:28:22,211 --> 00:28:26,883
You got an hour to solve the case
while I get the kids in bed.
406
00:28:27,133 --> 00:28:31,637
Then you're mine. Mr. Kennedy
will have to wait until morning.
407
00:28:36,143 --> 00:28:38,812
Look, Dad. Look what I drew.
408
00:28:39,062 --> 00:28:40,814
That's something. What is it?
409
00:28:40,981 --> 00:28:42,733
It's a rhino in a cage.
410
00:28:42,983 --> 00:28:46,487
- Can I stay up another hour?
- I don't think so, son.
411
00:28:46,653 --> 00:28:48,989
Pickle and Snapper, my two...
412
00:28:49,573 --> 00:28:50,908
...dancing partners.
413
00:28:51,075 --> 00:28:53,160
Good night, doodle bugs.
414
00:28:53,660 --> 00:28:55,829
One hour, you hear?
415
00:28:56,246 --> 00:28:58,582
Some Saturday night date you are.
416
00:28:58,832 --> 00:29:03,505
Mama warned me this would happen if
I married such a serious man as you.
417
00:29:03,838 --> 00:29:08,259
When I come up, I'll show you
how Saturday night got invented.
418
00:29:32,034 --> 00:29:36,539
I sealed off the area and held off the
trains till they could be examined.
419
00:29:36,789 --> 00:29:40,543
There were some transients
taken on at least one train.
420
00:29:42,128 --> 00:29:46,966
Mr. Bowers, you already talked to us
about this matter. Is that correct?
421
00:29:47,508 --> 00:29:48,509
Yes.
422
00:29:48,884 --> 00:29:51,137
Is there anything else you told us...
423
00:29:51,303 --> 00:29:54,308
...that I haven't asked you
about, that you can think of?
424
00:29:55,642 --> 00:29:57,853
Nothing that I can recall.
425
00:29:58,478 --> 00:30:00,063
Witness is excused.
426
00:30:01,857 --> 00:30:03,108
A long freight...
427
00:30:03,317 --> 00:30:06,069
...was in there and we
pulled some people off.
428
00:30:09,906 --> 00:30:11,617
Do you mean some transients?
429
00:30:12,159 --> 00:30:13,410
Tramps and hobos.
430
00:30:13,660 --> 00:30:15,329
Were they questioned?
431
00:30:15,495 --> 00:30:18,081
They were questioned at the station.
432
00:30:18,832 --> 00:30:20,167
Ask the question.
433
00:30:21,336 --> 00:30:24,255
Let's go back to that Amos Evins matter.
434
00:30:25,423 --> 00:30:29,093
Traffic had been cut off
into the area since 10:00.
435
00:30:29,260 --> 00:30:32,263
But 3 cars came in during this time.
436
00:30:33,514 --> 00:30:36,851
From around noon till
the time of the shooting.
437
00:30:37,185 --> 00:30:39,729
They circled the parking lot and left.
438
00:30:40,188 --> 00:30:42,690
Like they was checking the area.
439
00:30:43,524 --> 00:30:45,276
One of the drivers...
440
00:30:45,443 --> 00:30:47,363
...was holding something...
441
00:30:47,530 --> 00:30:48,697
...to his mouth.
442
00:30:50,449 --> 00:30:55,538
The last car came in about 7 to 10
minutes before the shooting.
443
00:30:57,039 --> 00:31:00,209
It was a white Chevrolet, 4-door Impala.
444
00:31:00,626 --> 00:31:02,795
Muddy up to the windows.
445
00:31:04,129 --> 00:31:07,466
Towards the underpass, I saw 2 men...
446
00:31:07,633 --> 00:31:10,553
...standing behind a picket fence...
447
00:31:10,719 --> 00:31:14,558
...looking up towards Main and
Houston, as the caravan came down.
448
00:31:16,893 --> 00:31:18,728
One of them was middle-aged...
449
00:31:19,312 --> 00:31:20,564
...heavyset.
450
00:31:21,147 --> 00:31:23,233
The other man was younger.
451
00:31:23,817 --> 00:31:27,154
Two other men were on the
east end of the parking lot.
452
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,156
They both had uniforms.
453
00:31:29,573 --> 00:31:31,908
At the time of the shooting...
454
00:31:32,159 --> 00:31:35,162
...there seemed to be some commotion.
455
00:31:36,913 --> 00:31:39,834
I'm just unable to describe...
456
00:31:40,751 --> 00:31:44,172
...a flash of light or
smoke or something.
457
00:31:44,839 --> 00:31:48,009
It caused me to feel that
something out of the ordinary...
458
00:31:48,176 --> 00:31:50,261
...had occurred on the embankment.
459
00:31:50,428 --> 00:31:51,471
Goddamn.
460
00:32:09,031 --> 00:32:10,032
No!
461
00:32:15,204 --> 00:32:18,123
- You all right?
- Honey, it's incredible.
462
00:32:18,624 --> 00:32:19,792
What?
463
00:32:20,209 --> 00:32:21,794
The whole thing.
464
00:32:22,628 --> 00:32:24,797
A Lt. Colonel testifies that...
465
00:32:24,963 --> 00:32:29,218
...Oswald has a Russian language exam
as part of his Marine training...
466
00:32:29,384 --> 00:32:32,472
...only a few months before he
defects to the Soviet Union.
467
00:32:32,639 --> 00:32:34,307
A Russian exam.
468
00:32:34,557 --> 00:32:38,895
It's 4:30 a.m.! I have 5 kids
who'll wake up in an hour.
469
00:32:38,978 --> 00:32:43,817
In all my years in the military, I never
knew a single man who had a Russian test.
470
00:32:44,818 --> 00:32:46,820
Oswald was a radar operator.
471
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:51,741
He'd have about as much use for
Russian as a cat has for pajamas.
472
00:32:51,908 --> 00:32:54,160
These books have gotten to your mind!
473
00:32:54,327 --> 00:32:57,248
- Stop reading.
- They make it sound like nothing.
474
00:32:57,415 --> 00:32:59,667
Oswald tested badly.
475
00:32:59,834 --> 00:33:03,087
He got only two more Russian
words right than wrong.
476
00:33:03,337 --> 00:33:07,341
That's like me saying Touchdown
here is not very intelligent...
477
00:33:07,466 --> 00:33:11,262
...because I beat him 3 games
out of 5 when we played chess.
478
00:33:11,429 --> 00:33:15,266
Are you going to stay up all
night, every night? For what?
479
00:33:15,516 --> 00:33:18,936
To be the only man who's read all
26 volumes of the Warren Report?
480
00:33:19,103 --> 00:33:21,439
Do I have to spell it out for you?
481
00:33:22,273 --> 00:33:24,943
Lee Oswald was no ordinary soldier.
482
00:33:25,944 --> 00:33:28,947
He was in military intelligence.
He was trained in Russian.
483
00:33:29,114 --> 00:33:31,366
It was no accident he was in Russia.
484
00:33:31,533 --> 00:33:35,287
- Go back to sleep.
- Been sleeping for three years!
485
00:33:53,306 --> 00:33:56,059
Morning boys. Ready for
a walking tour?
486
00:33:56,225 --> 00:33:59,812
7:30 Sunday morning?
Not exactly fresh blood we're sniffing.
487
00:34:00,063 --> 00:34:02,398
Old stains, but just as telling.
488
00:34:10,114 --> 00:34:12,367
531 Lafayette Street.
489
00:34:12,659 --> 00:34:14,827
Remember whose office this was in '63?
490
00:34:16,247 --> 00:34:18,165
Sure. Guy Banister.
491
00:34:18,832 --> 00:34:21,669
Ex-FBI man. Died a couple of years ago.
492
00:34:24,255 --> 00:34:28,676
Headed the Chicago office.
Retired and became a private eye here.
493
00:34:28,842 --> 00:34:32,680
I used to have lunch with him.
John Birch Society, Minutemen.
494
00:34:32,930 --> 00:34:34,640
To the right of Attila the Hun.
495
00:34:35,266 --> 00:34:39,687
Recruited students to infiltrate
radical organizations on campus.
496
00:34:40,020 --> 00:34:43,024
Headed the Anti-Communist
League of the Caribbean.
497
00:34:43,441 --> 00:34:45,443
All out of this office.
498
00:34:48,530 --> 00:34:50,615
I want to show you something.
499
00:34:58,790 --> 00:35:00,375
Take a look here.
500
00:35:00,959 --> 00:35:03,044
544 Camp Street.
501
00:35:03,712 --> 00:35:06,047
531 Lafayette Street.
502
00:35:06,298 --> 00:35:08,134
Same building, right?
503
00:35:08,384 --> 00:35:11,637
Different addresses, different
entrances, both going...
504
00:35:12,805 --> 00:35:14,807
...to the same offices upstairs.
505
00:35:15,308 --> 00:35:16,851
Guess who used it?
506
00:35:19,145 --> 00:35:21,147
Lee Harvey Oswald.
507
00:35:22,148 --> 00:35:23,983
How do we know that?
508
00:35:24,317 --> 00:35:26,319
This address was stamped on...
509
00:35:26,569 --> 00:35:31,240
...pro-Castro leaflets he handed out
in the summer of '63 on Canal Street.
510
00:35:31,574 --> 00:35:34,995
The same leaflets they found
in his garage in Dallas.
511
00:35:37,915 --> 00:35:42,169
After the arrest, 544 Camp St.
never appeared on the pamphlets again.
512
00:35:43,003 --> 00:35:45,923
He was arrested for fighting
with anti-Castro Cubans.
513
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:48,842
But he'd contacted them already...
514
00:35:49,009 --> 00:35:53,430
...as an ex-Marine trying to
join the anti-Castro crusade.
515
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:58,268
When they heard he was now
pro-Castro, they paid him a visit.
516
00:35:58,519 --> 00:35:59,938
What's this Fidel shit?
517
00:36:00,105 --> 00:36:01,689
You lied to me!
518
00:36:02,524 --> 00:36:04,275
Liar! Son-of-a-bitch!
519
00:36:04,442 --> 00:36:06,945
Do not take this
communist propaganda!
520
00:36:08,363 --> 00:36:10,031
If you want to hit me, hit me.
521
00:36:10,198 --> 00:36:11,658
You pinko shit!
522
00:36:11,866 --> 00:36:13,451
Go back to Moscow!
523
00:36:13,618 --> 00:36:15,120
It was no real fight.
524
00:36:15,286 --> 00:36:18,957
The arresting lieutenant later said
he felt it was a staged incident.
525
00:36:19,874 --> 00:36:22,544
In jail, Oswald has a private session...
526
00:36:22,711 --> 00:36:25,548
...with Special Agent
John Quigley of the FBI.
527
00:36:26,215 --> 00:36:27,717
Oswald is released.
528
00:36:27,883 --> 00:36:30,803
And Quigley destroys his
notes from the interview.
529
00:36:31,053 --> 00:36:33,889
The arrest gets Oswald
a lot of publicity.
530
00:36:34,056 --> 00:36:36,308
And he appears on a local TV debate.
531
00:36:36,559 --> 00:36:39,228
You are a Communist, are you not?
532
00:36:39,395 --> 00:36:43,065
No, Mr. Bringuier.
I am not a Communist.
533
00:36:43,232 --> 00:36:44,650
I'm a Marxist-Leninist.
534
00:36:44,817 --> 00:36:48,237
Communist, Marxist-Leninist,
what's the difference?
535
00:36:49,572 --> 00:36:54,494
What if I told you Oswald was trained
in the Russian language in the Marines?
536
00:36:54,661 --> 00:36:57,080
I'd say he got intelligence training.
537
00:36:57,247 --> 00:36:59,416
You were a Marine. Who'd run it?
538
00:36:59,583 --> 00:37:01,585
Office of Naval Intelligence.
539
00:37:01,918 --> 00:37:03,920
Look across the street.
540
00:37:04,504 --> 00:37:06,006
Post office.
541
00:37:06,256 --> 00:37:10,677
Upstairs, in 1963, that was the
Office of Naval Intelligence.
542
00:37:10,844 --> 00:37:14,598
By coincidence, Banister,
before he was FBI, was ONI.
543
00:37:14,765 --> 00:37:16,433
What's their saying?
544
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:18,603
"Once ONI, Always ONI"
545
00:37:18,770 --> 00:37:21,606
He likes working near his old pals.
546
00:37:24,609 --> 00:37:26,611
We are standing in the heart of...
547
00:37:26,778 --> 00:37:30,198
...the U.S. government's intelligence
community in New Orleans.
548
00:37:30,365 --> 00:37:31,699
FBI.
549
00:37:31,866 --> 00:37:33,159
CIA.
550
00:37:33,368 --> 00:37:35,036
Secret Service.
551
00:37:35,203 --> 00:37:36,287
ONI.
552
00:37:36,454 --> 00:37:39,123
Isn't this a strange place for a...
553
00:37:39,290 --> 00:37:41,626
...Communist to spend his spare time?
554
00:37:44,547 --> 00:37:46,549
What are you driving at?
555
00:37:49,635 --> 00:37:51,887
We're going back into the case.
556
00:37:52,638 --> 00:37:54,306
The murder of the President.
557
00:37:54,473 --> 00:37:56,809
Lord, wake me. I must be dreaming.
558
00:37:56,976 --> 00:37:59,395
You're awake. I'm deadly serious.
559
00:37:59,562 --> 00:38:03,065
Now, let's track down your
anonymous source from 3 years ago.
560
00:38:03,232 --> 00:38:06,235
How'd you find out David Ferrie
drove to Texas that day?
561
00:38:06,485 --> 00:38:10,490
I can't remember last night,
let alone 3 years ago, boss.
562
00:38:14,828 --> 00:38:17,080
You're not being cross-examined.
563
00:38:17,247 --> 00:38:21,751
I need clarification about the night
Guy Banister beat you over the head.
564
00:38:21,918 --> 00:38:24,504
Don't tell me you don't remember.
565
00:38:24,671 --> 00:38:29,509
You called our office from your hospital
bed. You were hopping mad about it.
566
00:38:29,926 --> 00:38:31,595
Here's my problem.
567
00:38:32,012 --> 00:38:35,432
You told me you and Guy were
good friends for a long time.
568
00:38:35,599 --> 00:38:38,269
- Over 10 years.
- And he never hit you before?
569
00:38:38,436 --> 00:38:39,854
Never touched me.
570
00:38:40,438 --> 00:38:42,690
Yet, on November 22, 1963, the day...
571
00:38:42,857 --> 00:38:44,776
...of the President's murder...
572
00:38:44,942 --> 00:38:47,069
...the police report says...
573
00:38:47,862 --> 00:38:51,365
...he pistol-whipped
you with a .357 Magnum.
574
00:38:51,616 --> 00:38:54,786
It also says you argued
about the phone bill. Look!
575
00:38:56,120 --> 00:39:00,958
Is an argument over a phone bill
a believable explanation to you?
576
00:39:03,378 --> 00:39:05,214
There's more to it.
577
00:39:06,381 --> 00:39:07,382
How much more?
578
00:39:08,092 --> 00:39:09,468
I shouldn't talk.
579
00:39:09,593 --> 00:39:12,513
I'd ask Guy. We were friendly.
Heart attack?
580
00:39:13,722 --> 00:39:15,224
You buy what you read in the papers.
581
00:39:15,641 --> 00:39:18,644
- You have other information?
- I didn't say that!
582
00:39:18,852 --> 00:39:24,024
All I know is he died suddenly.
Just before the Warren Report came out.
583
00:39:26,402 --> 00:39:28,405
Why did Guy beat you, Jack?
584
00:39:36,246 --> 00:39:37,747
You were the only one here!
585
00:39:37,914 --> 00:39:39,249
The only one here!
586
00:39:44,087 --> 00:39:46,548
You didn't see a goddamn thing!
587
00:39:47,215 --> 00:39:51,928
Hell, Guy's dead, so it don't matter
no more. It was all about those...
588
00:39:52,262 --> 00:39:56,267
...people that was hanging
around the office that summer.
589
00:39:56,767 --> 00:39:59,103
I was never part of the operation.
590
00:39:59,270 --> 00:40:03,065
I just handled their private eye
work as it came in for Guy.
591
00:40:03,232 --> 00:40:06,110
Not much did, but
that's why I was there.
592
00:40:07,236 --> 00:40:09,447
It was a nut house.
593
00:40:10,114 --> 00:40:14,910
Cubans coming, going. And Christ,
they all look the same to me.
594
00:40:15,953 --> 00:40:18,789
You going to play with
this rifle or pack it?
595
00:40:19,081 --> 00:40:20,542
David Ferrie.
596
00:40:20,751 --> 00:40:24,129
- You know about him?
- We know Dave. Was he there?
597
00:40:24,296 --> 00:40:26,590
He practically lived there.
598
00:40:28,425 --> 00:40:30,636
The whole thing was all...
599
00:40:30,927 --> 00:40:33,138
...cloak-and-dagger stuff.
600
00:40:33,305 --> 00:40:35,974
They called it Operation Mongoose.
601
00:40:37,267 --> 00:40:41,438
Idea was to train these Cuban exiles
for another invasion of Cuba.
602
00:40:42,105 --> 00:40:44,650
Banister's office was part
of the supply line...
603
00:40:44,983 --> 00:40:47,779
...from Dallas through
New Orleans to Miami.
604
00:40:47,987 --> 00:40:49,989
We stockpiled arms, explosives.
605
00:40:50,156 --> 00:40:53,243
In view of the intelligence
community in Lafayette Square?
606
00:40:53,493 --> 00:40:57,997
Yes. Everybody knew everybody.
They were all part of the network.
607
00:40:58,164 --> 00:40:59,999
All worked for the CIA.
608
00:41:00,959 --> 00:41:05,838
Pilots and black operators and
civilians and the military.
609
00:41:06,172 --> 00:41:07,799
Everybody was running guns then.
610
00:41:09,467 --> 00:41:12,303
Ft. Jefferson, Bayou Bluff,
Morgan City, you name it.
611
00:41:12,846 --> 00:41:16,183
McAllen, Texas? Big gun run operation.
612
00:41:20,020 --> 00:41:21,855
Where does Banister fit in?
613
00:41:22,189 --> 00:41:25,359
He was running his camp
north of Lake Pontchartrain.
614
00:41:25,526 --> 00:41:27,528
Ferrie did a lot of the training.
615
00:41:27,695 --> 00:41:32,032
They had a shooting range and
tropical territory, like in Cuba.
616
00:41:32,700 --> 00:41:35,160
Americans were trained there too.
617
00:41:35,494 --> 00:41:37,371
Nazi types. Mercenaries.
618
00:41:38,038 --> 00:41:41,334
That Ferrie, though.
Jesus, he was the craziest.
619
00:41:43,003 --> 00:41:47,674
Late summer the party was over.
Kennedy didn't want another Bay of Pigs.
620
00:41:49,217 --> 00:41:51,511
He told the FBI, "Shut up the camps."
621
00:41:51,678 --> 00:41:54,014
"Confiscate the napalm, C-4 and all."
622
00:41:54,890 --> 00:41:58,018
The G-men were just going
through the motions.
623
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:01,938
Their hearts were still with
their old FBI buddy Banister.
624
00:42:04,692 --> 00:42:06,027
Oswald?
625
00:42:10,573 --> 00:42:12,575
He was there too.
626
00:42:13,242 --> 00:42:16,913
Sometimes meeting with Banister.
627
00:42:18,706 --> 00:42:19,749
With the door shut.
628
00:42:23,336 --> 00:42:26,964
Shootin' the bull with Ferrie, whatever.
But he was there, all right.
629
00:42:27,089 --> 00:42:30,384
Anything more specific, Jack?
It's important.
630
00:42:34,431 --> 00:42:36,975
One time, the secretary got upset...
631
00:42:37,101 --> 00:42:40,395
I can't believe it, Mr. Banister.
Lee Oswald is down on Canal Street...
632
00:42:40,437 --> 00:42:43,398
...handing out communist leaflets
supporting Castro.
633
00:42:48,445 --> 00:42:51,073
It's okay, Delphine.
He's with us.
634
00:42:53,700 --> 00:42:55,327
Was anyone else involved at...
635
00:42:55,494 --> 00:42:56,871
...Banister's level?
636
00:42:57,664 --> 00:43:00,041
One guy. I don't know who.
637
00:43:00,667 --> 00:43:02,961
Big. White hair.
638
00:43:03,211 --> 00:43:06,715
I saw him in the office once.
He looked out of place.
639
00:43:06,965 --> 00:43:09,426
You know, a society guy.
640
00:43:09,592 --> 00:43:12,429
Don't know his name,
but Oswald was with him.
641
00:43:14,222 --> 00:43:18,435
He had to do with money, because
Banister never kissed ass...
642
00:43:18,601 --> 00:43:20,562
...but he kissed his.
643
00:43:27,820 --> 00:43:28,696
Clay something.
644
00:43:28,863 --> 00:43:31,073
That was his name. Clay...
645
00:43:31,240 --> 00:43:32,241
...Bertrand?
646
00:43:32,450 --> 00:43:34,702
- Clay Bertrand?
- I don't know.
647
00:43:36,370 --> 00:43:37,872
- Maybe not.
- No, that's right.
648
00:43:37,955 --> 00:43:38,873
I must go.
649
00:43:38,998 --> 00:43:42,084
He was in the Warren Report.
He got Oswald a lawyer.
650
00:43:42,877 --> 00:43:44,170
Was Kennedy discussed?
651
00:43:44,462 --> 00:43:45,546
I don't know.
652
00:43:46,297 --> 00:43:48,090
The assassination?
653
00:43:48,466 --> 00:43:50,802
- Not with me. I've got to go.
- Hold on.
654
00:43:50,927 --> 00:43:53,096
- That's all I'll say.
- What's the problem?
655
00:43:57,601 --> 00:43:59,603
Do I have to spell it out for you?
656
00:43:59,811 --> 00:44:02,481
Nobody knows what we're
talking about here.
657
00:44:03,940 --> 00:44:06,193
Oh, you are so naive.
658
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:20,041
- When'd you do business with Bertrand?
- Pipe the bimbo in red.
659
00:44:22,043 --> 00:44:22,919
Lawdy.
660
00:44:23,086 --> 00:44:24,921
She's not as cute as you.
661
00:44:26,381 --> 00:44:30,677
- You should try a legitimate business.
- Why you dance on my head?
662
00:44:30,969 --> 00:44:33,263
- We've been friends since law school.
- Because you're conning me.
663
00:44:33,471 --> 00:44:36,641
- I read your testimony.
- Grain of salt.
664
00:44:36,808 --> 00:44:40,812
You said Clay Bertrand called you
the day after the assassination...
665
00:44:40,979 --> 00:44:43,190
...and asked you to be Oswald's lawyer.
666
00:44:43,399 --> 00:44:44,400
Right.
667
00:44:44,984 --> 00:44:46,986
That's pretty important.
668
00:44:47,236 --> 00:44:51,824
You told the FBI he's 6'2", then
you tell the Commission he's 5'8".
669
00:44:52,116 --> 00:44:54,910
How the hell does a
man shrink like that?
670
00:44:55,077 --> 00:44:59,415
They put the heat on me man, like you.
I gave them what popped in my cabeza.
671
00:45:00,124 --> 00:45:02,293
Truth is, I never met the dude.
672
00:45:02,501 --> 00:45:06,005
- One likes friends that have friends.
- Indeed.
673
00:45:06,130 --> 00:45:09,217
I don't know what that cat
looks like or where he's at.
674
00:45:09,509 --> 00:45:12,429
All I know is sometimes
he sends me some cases.
675
00:45:12,596 --> 00:45:16,224
One day he calls, talks to me
about repping Oswald in Dallas.
676
00:45:16,433 --> 00:45:18,768
You ever speak to Oswald in Dallas?
677
00:45:18,935 --> 00:45:22,856
I told that Bertrand cat
right off this ain't my scene.
678
00:45:23,106 --> 00:45:26,776
- I'm a hack. He needs a hot dog.
- How did you get in the Commission?
679
00:45:27,944 --> 00:45:30,113
Like I told the Washington boys...
680
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:34,869
...Bertrand asked me that summer to help
the kid upgrade his Marine discharge.
681
00:45:36,162 --> 00:45:38,164
Mr. Bertrand said he would
take care of any of.
682
00:45:38,498 --> 00:45:39,165
Fine.
683
00:45:39,832 --> 00:45:43,961
- To whom am I speaking?
- Clay Bertrand. I'll pay what they owe.
684
00:45:44,128 --> 00:45:48,132
There was no conspiracy. If there was,
why didn't Bobby Kennedy prosecute?
685
00:45:48,466 --> 00:45:50,551
He was his brother.
686
00:45:51,052 --> 00:45:53,346
How'd so many people
keep such a secret?
687
00:45:54,388 --> 00:45:58,184
- It was Oswald. He hated...
- We're having communication problem.
688
00:45:58,351 --> 00:46:03,065
I know you know who Clay Bertrand is.
Stop eating that crab meat and listen.
689
00:46:03,148 --> 00:46:08,028
I'm aware of our friendship, but
I'll call you before the Grand Jury.
690
00:46:08,237 --> 00:46:12,157
You lie to them as you lied to me,
I'll charge you with perjury.
691
00:46:12,408 --> 00:46:14,910
I took 9 judges on here in New Orleans.
692
00:46:15,077 --> 00:46:18,247
I beat them all.
Am I communicating with you?
693
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:21,542
Off the record?
694
00:46:23,460 --> 00:46:25,922
In that case, let me sum it up for you.
695
00:46:30,343 --> 00:46:33,096
If I answer that question
you keep asking...
696
00:46:33,972 --> 00:46:36,933
...if I give you the name
of the big enchilada...
697
00:46:38,268 --> 00:46:40,103
...then it's bon voyage, Deano.
698
00:46:40,270 --> 00:46:42,564
Like a bullet in my head, you dig?
699
00:46:43,106 --> 00:46:46,818
You're a mouse fighting a gorilla.
JFK's dead as that crab meat.
700
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:49,988
The government's still breathing.
701
00:46:50,113 --> 00:46:53,743
Either you give the Grand Jury
Clay Bertrand's real identity...
702
00:46:53,909 --> 00:46:56,579
...or your fat behind's
going to the slammer.
703
00:46:57,079 --> 00:47:00,750
You as crazy as you mama.
It's in the genes.
704
00:47:00,916 --> 00:47:03,461
Do you know what you're getting into?
705
00:47:03,669 --> 00:47:07,631
The government will jump all over
your head and go cock-a-doodle-doo.
706
00:47:08,674 --> 00:47:10,384
Good day to you, sir.
707
00:47:15,848 --> 00:47:19,227
District Attorney Garrison
to see Prisoner 5388.
708
00:47:19,394 --> 00:47:21,605
Ward block 2378.
709
00:47:35,410 --> 00:47:37,579
We don't need gates with that swamp.
710
00:47:38,038 --> 00:47:40,749
Many of them gone in there,
none of them came out.
711
00:47:55,598 --> 00:47:58,768
You got visitors here.
Don't give them trouble.
712
00:47:59,102 --> 00:48:02,188
- How you doing, Mr. Broussard?
- Let's go, Willie.
713
00:48:14,451 --> 00:48:17,121
Thank you, Mr. O'Keefe, for this time.
714
00:48:17,454 --> 00:48:18,914
I got nothing but time.
715
00:48:19,957 --> 00:48:22,418
Minutes, hours, days.
Years of time.
716
00:48:22,751 --> 00:48:27,131
Time stands still here,
like a snake sunning itself.
717
00:48:27,631 --> 00:48:28,924
Clay Bertrand?
718
00:48:32,720 --> 00:48:34,930
I met him sometime in...
719
00:48:35,139 --> 00:48:38,226
...June of '62. The Masquerade Bar.
720
00:48:38,476 --> 00:48:41,271
Dave Ferrie took me there
expressly to meet him.
721
00:48:42,022 --> 00:48:43,023
Sexual purposes?
722
00:48:44,983 --> 00:48:46,151
Did he pay you?
723
00:48:46,318 --> 00:48:49,821
$20 each time. Ain't no secret.
That's what I'm in for.
724
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:51,573
Anything unusual about him...
725
00:48:51,781 --> 00:48:53,742
...you'd be able to describe in court?
726
00:48:53,950 --> 00:48:56,578
He had something wrong with his leg.
727
00:48:56,828 --> 00:49:00,123
Don't get me wrong.
He's not one of those limp wrists.
728
00:49:00,457 --> 00:49:03,294
He's a butch John. Meet him on
the street, you'd never snap.
729
00:49:03,503 --> 00:49:08,299
You could play poker with him,
go fishing, you'd never snap.
730
00:49:08,841 --> 00:49:11,302
One night we were at David Ferrie's...
731
00:49:11,511 --> 00:49:14,305
...some time late in the summer of '63.
732
00:49:15,848 --> 00:49:18,476
There was about 9 to 10 people there.
733
00:49:18,810 --> 00:49:23,439
Cuban. Friends who'd done stuff in
the bush with him. Place was a mess.
734
00:49:23,606 --> 00:49:26,526
Dave's mind is a mess.
He had caged mice...
735
00:49:26,734 --> 00:49:28,612
...'cause he's working
on a cancer cure.
736
00:49:30,989 --> 00:49:34,701
Dave's smart, though.
Speaks five languages.
737
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:38,831
Knows philosophy, medicine,
military history, politics.
738
00:49:39,039 --> 00:49:43,335
He wanted to be a priest.
They defrocked him 'cause he's queer.
739
00:49:43,460 --> 00:49:46,171
That's where you first met Oswald?
740
00:49:46,338 --> 00:49:49,007
Strange Guy. Dave introduced him as...
741
00:49:49,174 --> 00:49:50,467
...Leon Oswald.
742
00:49:50,634 --> 00:49:52,136
How you doing?
743
00:49:52,845 --> 00:49:54,639
What the fuck is he doing here?
744
00:49:54,889 --> 00:49:57,225
Fuck you, motherfucker.
745
00:49:58,893 --> 00:50:01,980
Leon's in a bad mood.
Don't get excited.
746
00:50:02,689 --> 00:50:05,150
You said Leon was actually
Lee Harvey Oswald?
747
00:50:06,359 --> 00:50:08,028
I have no reason to lie to you.
748
00:50:08,361 --> 00:50:10,113
I'm already in jail.
749
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:11,281
Go on.
750
00:50:11,406 --> 00:50:15,035
Finally they left and I
was alone with Dave...
751
00:50:15,243 --> 00:50:16,745
...and this Leon...
752
00:50:16,870 --> 00:50:19,706
...and two of the Cubans,
and this guy Bertrand.
753
00:50:20,750 --> 00:50:23,336
Dave pulled out some clippings.
754
00:50:23,502 --> 00:50:27,048
He'd been obsessed with Castro
and Kennedy for months.
755
00:50:27,381 --> 00:50:31,052
Little ass-wipe closed down the camps!
Took our C-4!
756
00:50:31,260 --> 00:50:35,181
Took 10,000 rounds!
3,000 pounds of gunpowder!
757
00:50:35,389 --> 00:50:36,307
All our weapons!
758
00:50:38,809 --> 00:50:41,228
You want to free Cuba?
Whack out the fucking beard!
759
00:50:41,395 --> 00:50:44,398
Kennedy won't let us.
Our hands are empty. How can we?
760
00:50:44,607 --> 00:50:47,527
Problem getting to him.
Informers on every block.
761
00:50:47,694 --> 00:50:49,237
They got new stuff!
762
00:50:49,613 --> 00:50:54,201
I could show you dozens of poisons!
Put it in his food, he'd die in 3 days.
763
00:50:54,368 --> 00:50:55,702
No trace!
764
00:50:55,869 --> 00:51:00,040
Put something in his beard, make it
fall out. He'd look ridiculous...
765
00:51:00,874 --> 00:51:05,712
Fucking Kennedy's doing all kinds of
deals with that bastard Khrushchev.
766
00:51:06,129 --> 00:51:07,589
Licking his ass.
767
00:51:09,549 --> 00:51:14,389
An inspired act of God should happen
here. Put a Texan in the White House!
768
00:51:15,431 --> 00:51:18,726
The Cubans left. Dave was drunk.
769
00:51:19,894 --> 00:51:21,396
He started in on Kennedy again.
770
00:51:22,355 --> 00:51:25,608
I will kill! In the White House!
Stab him in the heart!
771
00:51:26,109 --> 00:51:28,111
Somebody must get rid of him!
772
00:51:29,153 --> 00:51:31,573
You won't get that son-of-a-bitch!
773
00:51:31,739 --> 00:51:35,243
It won't be long. That fucker
will get what he deserves.
774
00:51:35,577 --> 00:51:38,414
Blame Castro, the country
will want to invade Cuba.
775
00:51:38,581 --> 00:51:40,583
We just need to get him in the open.
776
00:51:42,001 --> 00:51:44,920
Always some harebrained scheme.
777
00:51:48,007 --> 00:51:50,926
Let's have some more
champagne, shall we?
778
00:51:51,343 --> 00:51:53,304
The Secret Service? The Cops?
779
00:51:54,013 --> 00:51:57,641
If it's planned right, no problem.
They got close to De Gaulle.
780
00:51:57,850 --> 00:51:59,935
Eisenhower rode in open top.
781
00:52:00,185 --> 00:52:03,147
We need 3 mechanics in
3 different locations.
782
00:52:03,647 --> 00:52:05,942
An office building, a power rifle.
783
00:52:06,359 --> 00:52:09,988
Triangulation of cross fire,
that's the key. That's the key.
784
00:52:10,614 --> 00:52:13,325
A diversionary shot get the
Secret Service looking one way.
785
00:52:13,617 --> 00:52:15,494
Boom! Get the kill shot.
786
00:52:16,369 --> 00:52:18,455
One man has to be sacrificed.
787
00:52:19,664 --> 00:52:22,167
In the commotion, the job gets done.
788
00:52:22,459 --> 00:52:24,169
The others leave the country.
789
00:52:24,628 --> 00:52:29,132
Let's drop this subject. It's one
thing to banter with these kids...
790
00:52:29,299 --> 00:52:33,513
...but this sort of thing could
be so easily misunderstood.
791
00:52:34,138 --> 00:52:37,683
I didn't think much about it then.
It's just bullshit.
792
00:52:37,892 --> 00:52:40,353
People act more important than they are.
793
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:42,313
Especially in the homosexual underworld.
794
00:52:44,065 --> 00:52:45,858
But when they killed him...
795
00:52:46,234 --> 00:52:47,693
...l got scared.
796
00:52:47,985 --> 00:52:49,362
Real scared.
797
00:52:49,904 --> 00:52:51,531
That's when I got popped.
798
00:52:51,989 --> 00:52:55,201
The things you said will be
attacked by many people.
799
00:52:55,409 --> 00:52:59,540
Bring them on. Bring on their college
degrees, I got nothing to hide.
800
00:52:59,706 --> 00:53:01,708
No one can buy me.
801
00:53:02,543 --> 00:53:05,170
- I don't even need this parole.
- What parole?
802
00:53:05,671 --> 00:53:10,175
You liberal, you don't know shit.
You never been fucked in the ass.
803
00:53:10,551 --> 00:53:14,388
This ain't about justice!
No, this is about order!
804
00:53:14,847 --> 00:53:17,224
Who rules? Fascism is coming back.
805
00:53:17,433 --> 00:53:21,895
Nobody wants to buy you.
No one's promising you parole.
806
00:53:23,356 --> 00:53:27,569
What I need to know is why
are you telling us this.
807
00:53:28,194 --> 00:53:30,530
'Cause that motherfucker Kennedy...
808
00:53:30,697 --> 00:53:33,533
...stole that motherfucking
election, that's why.
809
00:53:33,700 --> 00:53:37,871
Nixon was going to be a great president
until Kennedy wrecked this country.
810
00:53:38,038 --> 00:53:41,875
Niggers wanting rights! Why do
you think we have all this crime.
811
00:53:42,042 --> 00:53:44,711
He promised those
motherfuckers too much!
812
00:53:44,961 --> 00:53:47,881
Revolution's coming, bullshit!
Fascism's coming back!
813
00:53:48,048 --> 00:53:52,428
The day that communist
son-of-a- bitch died was a great day!
814
00:53:52,595 --> 00:53:54,930
A great day for this country.
815
00:53:55,222 --> 00:53:59,226
I hate to think they blame
it on silly fucking Oswald.
816
00:53:59,393 --> 00:54:01,562
Didn't know shit, anyway.
817
00:54:01,729 --> 00:54:05,399
People got to know. People
got to know why he was killed.
818
00:54:05,775 --> 00:54:08,444
Because he was a Communist.
819
00:54:09,236 --> 00:54:14,075
You go ahead, put me on the stand,
I'll tell the same goddamned story!
820
00:54:14,575 --> 00:54:15,786
Don't matter to me!
821
00:54:17,162 --> 00:54:19,790
All right, Willie. Thanks.
822
00:54:20,332 --> 00:54:21,625
We'll be in touch.
823
00:54:22,084 --> 00:54:23,293
All right.
824
00:54:28,507 --> 00:54:31,426
You know, you're not a bad-looking man.
825
00:54:31,593 --> 00:54:32,803
Not bad at all.
826
00:54:33,428 --> 00:54:36,473
I get out of here, I'll come see you.
We can have fun!
827
00:54:37,099 --> 00:54:39,601
Their testimony won't hold up in court.
828
00:54:39,768 --> 00:54:42,814
Their reputations are
lower than crocodile piss.
829
00:54:43,106 --> 00:54:44,774
That bothers you?
830
00:54:46,192 --> 00:54:50,780
If a woman's a prostitute,
must she also have bad eyesight?
831
00:54:51,781 --> 00:54:54,951
Find Clay Bertrand. Start by
checking around the Quarter.
832
00:54:55,118 --> 00:54:57,954
The 6 of us, with almost
no budget and in secret...
833
00:54:58,121 --> 00:55:01,124
...will solve a case the
Warren Commission couldn't?
834
00:55:01,291 --> 00:55:04,627
- I didn't pick you for your legal skill.
- Thanks, boss.
835
00:55:04,794 --> 00:55:08,799
You're a fighter. I like a man
who's not afraid of bad odds.
836
00:55:08,966 --> 00:55:11,844
Mr. Garrison, how are you?
Remember me?
837
00:55:12,136 --> 00:55:13,470
You vote for me?
838
00:55:13,637 --> 00:55:17,016
I did. We sang together at the
Royal Orleans, remember?
839
00:55:17,224 --> 00:55:18,309
We sang:
840
00:55:18,475 --> 00:55:21,478
'You're the cream in my coffee'
841
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:25,816
Haven't seen you much lately.
842
00:55:25,983 --> 00:55:30,154
Been too busy. Elected men can't
have as much fun as they used to.
843
00:55:30,321 --> 00:55:33,700
It's always nice to see you.
Pleasure to serve you always.
844
00:55:35,327 --> 00:55:37,996
How are you? Nice to see you.
845
00:55:38,830 --> 00:55:40,499
Welcome back, Lou.
846
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:45,670
- Think I could get a martini?
- They're waiting for you, sir.
847
00:55:46,713 --> 00:55:48,840
Keep that table open for us.
848
00:55:51,718 --> 00:55:53,553
Anything on the hoboes?
849
00:55:54,012 --> 00:55:57,349
Dallas Times Herald
photographer got great shots.
850
00:55:58,183 --> 00:55:59,727
Never published.
851
00:56:01,854 --> 00:56:04,524
Can't say that comes as a surprise.
852
00:56:06,025 --> 00:56:10,696
They took them to the sheriff's and
let them go. No record of questioning.
853
00:56:10,863 --> 00:56:13,699
Do they look like the
hoboes you remember?
854
00:56:15,034 --> 00:56:16,869
These two look young.
855
00:56:17,036 --> 00:56:20,873
Not a frayed collar or cuff,
fresh haircuts and shaves...
856
00:56:21,541 --> 00:56:25,546
...clean hands, new shoe leather.
Who the hell are they then?
857
00:56:28,924 --> 00:56:30,092
Sit down.
858
00:56:32,094 --> 00:56:34,763
This could be it. Let's look for them.
859
00:56:35,889 --> 00:56:40,727
What about the railroad man, Lee Bowers,
who saw the men at the picket fence?
860
00:56:41,061 --> 00:56:43,605
Graveyard. Dead. August this year.
861
00:56:44,064 --> 00:56:47,735
Single-car accident on an empty
road in Midlothian, Texas.
862
00:56:47,943 --> 00:56:50,946
The doctor said he was in a
strange shock when he died.
863
00:56:51,656 --> 00:56:54,242
We need to find more witnesses.
864
00:56:54,409 --> 00:56:56,244
There was Rose Cheramie, a whore.
865
00:56:56,578 --> 00:56:59,956
She said she was a dope
runner for Jack Ruby.
866
00:57:00,248 --> 00:57:03,960
And that Ruby knew Oswald for years.
867
00:57:04,252 --> 00:57:07,088
- Can we talk to her?
- She dead too.
868
00:57:07,589 --> 00:57:08,923
Hit and run.
869
00:57:13,928 --> 00:57:16,598
Why don't we go to the horse's mouth?
870
00:57:16,806 --> 00:57:21,771
Jack Ruby's been in a Dallas jail
cell for 3 years. Maybe he'll crack.
871
00:57:21,937 --> 00:57:26,108
Can't. If I go to him our investigation
will hit the front pages.
872
00:57:26,275 --> 00:57:30,488
It'll blow up in our face.
Susie, what did you find on Oswald?
873
00:57:30,988 --> 00:57:34,325
Negative on his tax records.
Classified.
874
00:57:34,533 --> 00:57:37,161
First time a DA
can't get a tax record.
875
00:57:37,828 --> 00:57:42,625
I asked for the CIA files on Oswald
that were part of the Warren Report.
876
00:57:43,543 --> 00:57:47,506
About 1200 documents.
Can't get one of them.
877
00:57:47,798 --> 00:57:51,468
All classified as secret on the
grounds of national security.
878
00:57:51,635 --> 00:57:56,139
I got his grammar school records.
It's a study of his pubic hairs.
879
00:57:56,974 --> 00:57:58,642
Lonely kid, no father.
880
00:57:58,809 --> 00:58:01,019
Joins the Marines at 17.
881
00:58:01,186 --> 00:58:04,356
Learns Russian. Acts overtly Marxist.
882
00:58:04,564 --> 00:58:08,151
But he's stationed at a top
secret air base in Japan...
883
00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:11,322
...where U2 spy flights
over Russia originate.
884
00:58:11,823 --> 00:58:13,366
He's discharged...
885
00:58:13,575 --> 00:58:17,036
...supposedly because his mother's sick.
Stays home 3 days.
886
00:58:17,203 --> 00:58:22,000
Then, with a $1500 ticket from a $203
bank account, he goes to Moscow.
887
00:58:22,375 --> 00:58:24,544
Mr. Oswald, do you understand...
888
00:58:24,752 --> 00:58:28,172
- ...the action you are about to take?
- Yes, I do, sir.
889
00:58:30,758 --> 00:58:32,885
I wish to renounce my citizenship...
890
00:58:33,761 --> 00:58:36,891
...and become a Soviet citizen.
891
00:58:37,182 --> 00:58:41,395
I'll give them all the information
I have on the Marines.
892
00:58:41,770 --> 00:58:44,732
He disappears for 6 weeks,
presumably with the KGB.
893
00:58:45,357 --> 00:58:48,027
He's taken to a radio
factory in Minsk...
894
00:58:48,194 --> 00:58:51,530
...where he lives as high
on the hog as he ever has.
895
00:58:51,697 --> 00:58:56,410
He's given 5,000 rubles, a
roomy apartment with a balcony.
896
00:58:56,619 --> 00:58:58,871
Has affairs with local girls.
897
00:58:59,205 --> 00:59:01,207
Makes sense. He's a spokesman.
898
00:59:03,210 --> 00:59:06,087
But he never does any
propaganda for the Russians.
899
00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:08,381
He meets Marina.
900
00:59:08,798 --> 00:59:12,219
Her uncle is a colonel
in Soviet intelligence.
901
00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:15,931
She thinks he's Russian by his speech.
902
00:59:16,097 --> 00:59:19,100
Six weeks later they marry,
have a daughter.
903
00:59:19,267 --> 00:59:23,605
Only explanation for the royal
treatment is he gave them radar secrets.
904
00:59:23,813 --> 00:59:25,273
Or fake secrets.
905
00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:27,108
Six months after he's in Russia.
906
00:59:27,442 --> 00:59:30,905
...Francis Gary Powers' U2
spy flight goes down...
907
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:33,449
...in Russia.
That plane was untouchable.
908
00:59:33,825 --> 00:59:35,785
Powers hinted that Oswald...
909
00:59:35,952 --> 00:59:39,122
...could've given the Russians
enough data to hit it.
910
00:59:39,288 --> 00:59:43,459
As a result, the peace summit between
Khrushchev and Eisenhower failed.
911
00:59:43,751 --> 00:59:47,839
Perhaps our military didn't
want the conference to happen?
912
00:59:49,090 --> 00:59:51,425
Maybe Oswald was part of that!
913
00:59:51,592 --> 00:59:56,098
- Stick to what you can prove in court.
- You want facts?
914
00:59:57,683 --> 01:00:00,811
Don't get sidetracked.
How'd he get back to the States?
915
01:00:01,103 --> 01:00:03,772
Does he have any
problems with Uncle Sam?
916
01:00:03,939 --> 01:00:07,651
No. The State Department issues
him a new passport in 48 hours...
917
01:00:07,943 --> 01:00:09,945
...and loans him travel money.
918
01:00:10,863 --> 01:00:15,325
He's never investigated or charged
for revealing classified information.
919
01:00:15,617 --> 01:00:18,328
...or, as far as we know,
debriefed by the CIA.
920
01:00:18,495 --> 01:00:22,625
Bastard should've been prosecuted as
a traitor when he got off the boat.
921
01:00:23,460 --> 01:00:25,837
Did Marina have problems getting out?
922
01:00:26,004 --> 01:00:30,675
None, though it's almost impossible
to get Russian sweethearts out.
923
01:00:30,967 --> 01:00:35,805
This is a man who defected once already.
It's crazy. Ordinary people...
924
01:00:36,014 --> 01:00:38,641
...get blacklisted for
having leftist affiliations.
925
01:00:38,808 --> 01:00:40,351
Doesn't add up.
926
01:00:40,518 --> 01:00:43,980
Next thing, he's living in
Dallas-Fort Worth, '62...
927
01:00:44,355 --> 01:00:47,360
...working 6 months at Jaggars-
Chiles-Stovall...
928
01:00:47,526 --> 01:00:51,197
...a photographic firm that
makes maps for the Army.
929
01:00:52,198 --> 01:00:55,868
Oswald becomes chummy with the
Dallas White Russian community.
930
01:00:56,035 --> 01:00:58,204
All rabid anti-Communists.
931
01:00:58,371 --> 01:00:59,497
It's odd.
932
01:00:59,538 --> 01:01:03,292
His closest friend is an oil man
named George DeMornschild...
933
01:01:04,377 --> 01:01:06,796
...who's about 35 years
older than Oswald...
934
01:01:06,879 --> 01:01:09,465
...who is only 23 and
supposedly broke.
935
01:01:10,383 --> 01:01:13,887
DeMornschild is a member
of the Dallas Petroleum Club...
936
01:01:14,721 --> 01:01:18,809
...speaks 5 languages, and was in French
Vichy intelligence during the War.
937
01:01:18,934 --> 01:01:21,728
Also rumored to have been
a Nazi sympathizer.
938
01:01:21,833 --> 01:01:24,481
I think you really talk like a redneck.
939
01:01:24,731 --> 01:01:28,026
DeMornschild draws a picture
of Oswald as an intellectual...
940
01:01:28,068 --> 01:01:31,947
...well-read, speaks excellent Russian,
a man who adored JFK.
941
01:01:36,535 --> 01:01:39,706
I think he's made some mistakes
regarding Cuba.
942
01:01:40,373 --> 01:01:42,792
I think he's doing a pretty good job.
943
01:01:42,917 --> 01:01:44,419
If he succeeds, in my opinion...
944
01:01:44,502 --> 01:01:47,922
...l think he'd make a great president,
and a really handsome one, too.
945
01:01:48,006 --> 01:01:50,883
That's scenery, Susan.
Now, don't get sidetracked.
946
01:01:50,967 --> 01:01:53,678
This is the same man that
bottom-line nailed Oswald...
947
01:01:53,761 --> 01:01:56,097
...to the Warren Commission
as a potentially violent man...
948
01:01:56,139 --> 01:01:58,099
...and linked him to the rifle.
949
01:01:58,141 --> 01:02:00,935
In that sense, Castro is
an experimenter.
950
01:02:02,520 --> 01:02:05,399
He could go any way with that country.
951
01:02:07,318 --> 01:02:09,361
What you got there?
952
01:02:10,404 --> 01:02:12,781
You have a rifle in there?
953
01:02:13,407 --> 01:02:14,783
Lee, tell me.
954
01:02:16,118 --> 01:02:19,288
What are you shooting at?
Rabbits or Fascists?
955
01:02:19,705 --> 01:02:21,081
I, uh, I hunt.
956
01:02:21,624 --> 01:02:23,542
You hunt? Hillbillies.
957
01:02:23,918 --> 01:02:26,879
We don't know if he's CIA.
Let's circle him. Very probable.
958
01:02:26,962 --> 01:02:28,172
Call him Oswald's handler.
959
01:02:28,297 --> 01:02:33,011
The Oswalds are introduced
to Janet and Bill Williams.
960
01:02:34,930 --> 01:02:39,434
It's through Janet Williams, in
October '63, that Lee gets the job...
961
01:02:39,768 --> 01:02:43,438
...at the warehouse on Elm
Street at the Book Depository.
962
01:02:44,731 --> 01:02:49,569
So he can now exercise his intellect,
stacking school texts at $1 .25 an hour.
963
01:02:51,571 --> 01:02:54,741
Marina fights with
Lee about many things.
964
01:02:56,368 --> 01:02:58,454
His secrecy, their lack of money.
965
01:02:59,455 --> 01:03:02,792
She says that Lee is
not sexually adequate.
966
01:03:05,211 --> 01:03:07,296
Lee hits her on several occasions.
967
01:03:08,464 --> 01:03:10,049
At the age of 24...
968
01:03:10,216 --> 01:03:13,678
...he rents a room in Dallas
under the alias of O.H. Lee.
969
01:03:13,803 --> 01:03:17,390
Do you want to watch TV?
Are you all right?
970
01:03:17,807 --> 01:03:19,809
No, thank you. I'm fine.
971
01:03:20,768 --> 01:03:24,690
All I know about the Williams is
their tax returns are classified.
972
01:03:24,898 --> 01:03:28,402
Bill Williams has links to
the CIA through his family...
973
01:03:28,610 --> 01:03:31,238
...does classified work
for Bell Helicopter.
974
01:03:31,405 --> 01:03:36,160
Bill's convenient separation from Janet
allows Marina to move into her house...
975
01:03:36,326 --> 01:03:39,163
...where she suddenly
becomes Marina's best friend.
976
01:03:39,329 --> 01:03:42,499
There Marina and Lee
have a second daughter.
977
01:03:43,834 --> 01:03:46,795
I have to go away.
Just for a short while.
978
01:03:47,004 --> 01:03:49,007
What's wrong with this family?
979
01:03:49,257 --> 01:03:50,800
I love Lee...
980
01:03:51,801 --> 01:03:53,428
...and I sorry him.
981
01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:55,096
Sorry for him?
982
01:03:56,514 --> 01:03:59,851
When he's arrested, Marina
buries him with the public.
983
01:04:00,018 --> 01:04:03,354
She describes him as a
psychotic and violent man.
984
01:04:03,521 --> 01:04:05,190
I have too much facts...
985
01:04:05,356 --> 01:04:09,194
...and facts tell me
that Lee shot Kennedy.
986
01:04:09,361 --> 01:04:12,947
After being locked away by the
feds for 2 months...
987
01:04:13,114 --> 01:04:15,117
...and afraid she'd be deported...
988
01:04:15,368 --> 01:04:18,746
...she was probably suffering
from nervous exhaustion.
989
01:04:18,871 --> 01:04:20,956
They taught her how to answer.
990
01:04:21,540 --> 01:04:24,293
When they think she's ready,
they buy her dresses...
991
01:04:24,543 --> 01:04:26,545
...polish her up and wheel her out.
992
01:04:26,837 --> 01:04:30,466
- I'd like to thank the Warren Commission.
- Oswald was no angel.
993
01:04:31,550 --> 01:04:33,052
But who was he?
994
01:04:33,219 --> 01:04:35,721
I'm lost. What are we saying?
995
01:04:36,889 --> 01:04:40,852
That when Oswald went to Russia,
he was not a real defector.
996
01:04:41,228 --> 01:04:46,066
He was an intelligence agent for our
government and remained one till he died.
997
01:04:47,150 --> 01:04:49,987
So because Oswald pulled the trigger...
998
01:04:50,237 --> 01:04:53,156
...the intelligence community
murdered the President?
999
01:04:53,323 --> 01:04:56,785
I'll go you one better. Maybe Oswald...
1000
01:04:56,994 --> 01:04:58,787
...didn't pull the trigger.
1001
01:04:58,912 --> 01:05:02,582
Nitrate tests indicate he
hadn't fired a rifle that day.
1002
01:05:02,874 --> 01:05:06,879
And they didn't bother to see if
the rifle'd been fired that day.
1003
01:05:07,005 --> 01:05:10,174
- His palm print was on it.
- It went to the FBI.
1004
01:05:10,925 --> 01:05:13,177
FBI didn't find a goddamn thing.
1005
01:05:13,344 --> 01:05:18,182
It comes back a week later and a Dallas
policeman suddenly finds a palm print?
1006
01:05:18,725 --> 01:05:22,895
It could've been lifted at the morgue.
There's no chain of evidence.
1007
01:05:23,021 --> 01:05:27,191
I can't figure out why he
orders a traceable weapon...
1008
01:05:27,525 --> 01:05:31,237
...to a PO box, when he can
go to any store in Texas...
1009
01:05:31,404 --> 01:05:34,783
...and buy an untraceable
rifle under a fake name.
1010
01:05:34,950 --> 01:05:36,952
To frame him, obviously!
1011
01:05:37,286 --> 01:05:39,205
A lot of smoke. And some fire.
1012
01:05:39,371 --> 01:05:40,831
It's our government!
1013
01:05:40,956 --> 01:05:43,292
We're talking about a crime.
1014
01:05:44,043 --> 01:05:46,962
You must think on a different
level, like the CIA does.
1015
01:05:47,963 --> 01:05:51,550
We're through the looking glass.
White is black.
1016
01:05:53,552 --> 01:05:55,930
And black is white.
1017
01:05:56,055 --> 01:05:59,643
Maybe Oswald is just what
he said he was. A patsy.
1018
01:06:06,316 --> 01:06:08,401
Unbelievable. You were here?
1019
01:06:08,568 --> 01:06:11,071
Yes, this is where I was sitting.
1020
01:06:11,488 --> 01:06:15,575
Shots came from near the
wooden fence over there...
1021
01:06:16,159 --> 01:06:18,078
...near the overpass.
1022
01:06:18,245 --> 01:06:22,332
I saw a man run from the fence
toward those railroad cars.
1023
01:06:22,499 --> 01:06:25,169
I made it clear to the Warren people.
1024
01:06:25,336 --> 01:06:28,256
One of the shots came from
behind that picket fence.
1025
01:06:28,506 --> 01:06:32,677
I heard the report and saw smoke,
6 or 8 feet above the ground.
1026
01:06:32,969 --> 01:06:34,971
Out from under those trees.
1027
01:06:35,096 --> 01:06:37,974
All four of us railroad men...
1028
01:06:38,099 --> 01:06:40,101
...seen the same thing.
1029
01:06:40,518 --> 01:06:43,604
The smoke came from behind the hedge.
1030
01:06:43,896 --> 01:06:47,859
I was standing next to Mary Moorman,
who took the photo when he was killed.
1031
01:06:49,694 --> 01:06:52,197
I stepped down and yelled:
1032
01:06:52,364 --> 01:06:55,701
"Mr. President, look over here!"
1033
01:06:56,910 --> 01:06:58,370
Then shots rang out.
1034
01:07:00,706 --> 01:07:05,544
Mary dropped to the ground, yelling,
"They're shooting! Get down!"
1035
01:07:06,795 --> 01:07:08,839
I just stood there watching.
1036
01:07:09,465 --> 01:07:11,467
The driver had stopped.
1037
01:07:12,217 --> 01:07:14,386
I don't know what was wrong with him.
1038
01:07:16,722 --> 01:07:18,850
Out of the corner of my eye...
1039
01:07:19,559 --> 01:07:22,228
...l saw a flash of light in the bushes.
1040
01:07:22,395 --> 01:07:23,855
And that last shot...
1041
01:07:25,231 --> 01:07:26,566
...just ripped his head off.
1042
01:07:28,068 --> 01:07:32,238
I look up and saw smoke coming
from over there, on the knoll.
1043
01:07:32,405 --> 01:07:34,908
We came around to look for tracks.
1044
01:07:35,241 --> 01:07:38,328
It rained that morning
and we found a bunch.
1045
01:07:39,079 --> 01:07:42,916
Cigarette butts. Someone
had stood about...here.
1046
01:07:49,090 --> 01:07:50,591
That's a good spot.
1047
01:07:51,676 --> 01:07:53,344
For the head shot.
1048
01:07:54,762 --> 01:07:56,889
Everything was just frozen.
1049
01:07:57,598 --> 01:08:01,894
Like people weren't breathing.
Like looking at a picture.
1050
01:08:05,064 --> 01:08:06,774
Except for one man.
1051
01:08:07,441 --> 01:08:12,114
I saw this one man running from the
corner of the Book Depository...
1052
01:08:12,364 --> 01:08:13,907
...to the parking lot.
1053
01:08:14,074 --> 01:08:15,909
It was about 11 a.m.
1054
01:08:16,201 --> 01:08:19,288
I was driving on Elm Street
toward the underpass.
1055
01:08:19,913 --> 01:08:21,707
In a blue Valiant.
1056
01:08:22,124 --> 01:08:25,460
I'll never forget that day.
There was a lot of traffic...
1057
01:08:25,627 --> 01:08:28,463
...and I stopped alongside
a green pickup truck.
1058
01:08:28,797 --> 01:08:33,093
It was very noticeable because
it had one wheel up on the curb.
1059
01:08:33,218 --> 01:08:35,095
When I saw the gun, I thought...
1060
01:08:37,640 --> 01:08:40,143
..."The Secret Service is
not very secret."
1061
01:08:40,310 --> 01:08:43,313
The next morning,
I went to the FBI office.
1062
01:08:43,479 --> 01:08:45,315
They showed me pictures.
1063
01:08:45,481 --> 01:08:49,569
And I picked out 3 pictures that
looked like the truck's driver.
1064
01:08:49,819 --> 01:08:51,321
That's the man.
1065
01:08:51,487 --> 01:08:54,324
You mean you identified
Jack Ruby on Saturday?
1066
01:08:54,949 --> 01:08:56,826
The day before he shot Oswald?
1067
01:08:57,118 --> 01:09:00,747
That's right. When I saw
him on TV, I was shocked.
1068
01:09:00,955 --> 01:09:04,376
I said to my family, "That's
the man I saw in the truck."
1069
01:09:05,669 --> 01:09:08,839
You weren't so sure in your
statement to the Commission.
1070
01:09:09,048 --> 01:09:12,176
What about these others?
You said one might be him?
1071
01:09:13,177 --> 01:09:16,180
They look a bit like him,
but I'm sure this is the man.
1072
01:09:16,597 --> 01:09:18,849
It was him I chased up the grassy knoll.
1073
01:09:21,352 --> 01:09:24,688
I thought maybe our guys had
shot back and got one of them.
1074
01:09:25,272 --> 01:09:26,941
I got to the parking lot.
1075
01:09:28,276 --> 01:09:31,530
All I saw were the railroad
workers and Dallas' finest.
1076
01:09:32,697 --> 01:09:36,868
- Secret Service. Come with us.
- No! Find the shooter!
1077
01:09:37,160 --> 01:09:38,537
I want your pictures.
1078
01:09:39,454 --> 01:09:40,455
Bastard!
1079
01:09:40,622 --> 01:09:42,707
Put a hurt on me, but good.
1080
01:09:43,375 --> 01:09:48,088
They must've seen everything because
they knew what we had done all day.
1081
01:09:48,213 --> 01:09:51,383
I wasn't hard to find,
wearing that red raincoat.
1082
01:09:51,550 --> 01:09:55,179
- How many shots did you hear?
- Four to six.
1083
01:09:55,304 --> 01:09:56,222
Impossible!
1084
01:09:57,723 --> 01:09:59,559
You heard echoes!
1085
01:10:01,394 --> 01:10:04,689
We have 3 bullets and 3 shots that
came from the Book Depository.
1086
01:10:05,106 --> 01:10:08,192
- That's all we'll say.
- No, sir.
1087
01:10:08,317 --> 01:10:13,197
I saw a man shooting from behind that
fence. What are you going to do?
1088
01:10:13,406 --> 01:10:16,492
- You go out there and get him!
- That's taken care of!
1089
01:10:16,659 --> 01:10:20,247
You only heard 3 shots, and
don't discuss this with anyone.
1090
01:10:20,914 --> 01:10:22,416
No one. Understand?
1091
01:10:22,666 --> 01:10:25,919
Which is strange. It's only 20
minutes after the assassination.
1092
01:10:26,128 --> 01:10:27,379
Get her out of here.
1093
01:10:27,588 --> 01:10:30,924
I knew something was
crooked as a dog's hind leg.
1094
01:10:31,675 --> 01:10:35,053
When I read my testimony
in the Warren Report...
1095
01:10:35,345 --> 01:10:37,598
...it was a total fabrication.
1096
01:10:37,848 --> 01:10:42,603
That's what bothers me, Mr. Garrison.
They've altered my statements.
1097
01:10:43,145 --> 01:10:44,688
This one says:
1098
01:10:44,855 --> 01:10:49,611
"Mercer couldn't identify any photograph
as being the man she observed...
1099
01:10:49,778 --> 01:10:52,781
...slouched over the wheel of
the green truck." Not true.
1100
01:10:52,947 --> 01:10:56,076
I recognized him and I told them so.
1101
01:10:56,368 --> 01:10:57,702
Take your time.
1102
01:10:57,869 --> 01:10:58,953
I'm sure.
1103
01:10:59,162 --> 01:11:00,872
And the sheriff's report...
1104
01:11:01,247 --> 01:11:03,375
This is really strange.
1105
01:11:03,541 --> 01:11:06,127
See that notarized signature?
1106
01:11:06,294 --> 01:11:07,962
That's not mine.
1107
01:11:08,171 --> 01:11:11,966
There wasn't any notary
present during my questioning.
1108
01:11:13,260 --> 01:11:15,888
Mrs. Mercer, as a former FBI man...
1109
01:11:17,556 --> 01:11:19,809
...it's difficult to accept this.
1110
01:11:20,309 --> 01:11:23,562
Beverly, tell Mr. Garrison
about the Carousel Club.
1111
01:11:30,131 --> 01:11:34,637
I used to go there to see Jack and
my friend, Jatta, who danced there.
1112
01:11:34,804 --> 01:11:37,306
It was a real swinging spot in town.
1113
01:11:37,473 --> 01:11:38,808
Everybody came.
1114
01:11:39,058 --> 01:11:42,645
Businessmen. Politicians from Austin.
L.B.J.'s friends.
1115
01:11:42,979 --> 01:11:45,148
Dallas was a slowpokin' town then.
1116
01:11:45,314 --> 01:11:48,901
You chewed toothpicks, played
dominoes, spit, dated policemen.
1117
01:11:49,068 --> 01:11:52,613
But Jack was exciting.
There were always cops there.
1118
01:11:52,822 --> 01:11:56,784
Jack liked them around.
But he threw out the drunks himself.
1119
01:11:57,076 --> 01:11:58,828
He had a violent temper.
1120
01:12:00,247 --> 01:12:03,625
Everyone in those days
knew Jack was in the mob.
1121
01:12:04,251 --> 01:12:06,837
Cops back then, they were bad.
1122
01:12:07,004 --> 01:12:09,715
They'd shake you down for
the money in your pocket.
1123
01:12:12,342 --> 01:12:14,178
What about Lee?
1124
01:12:15,262 --> 01:12:16,847
One time I came in.
1125
01:12:17,014 --> 01:12:21,852
Jack introduced me to 2 guys. He
says, "This is my friend, Lee Oswald."
1126
01:12:23,520 --> 01:12:26,191
I don't remember the other guy's name.
1127
01:12:26,357 --> 01:12:29,861
But he was a weird-looking guy.
He had these eyebrows.
1128
01:12:30,362 --> 01:12:32,655
And he looked like a buzzard.
1129
01:12:34,741 --> 01:12:37,285
Lee didn't make much of an impression.
1130
01:12:38,286 --> 01:12:40,372
He wasn't very handsome.
1131
01:12:40,663 --> 01:12:44,042
He didn't look like he had any
money, and he was in a bad mood.
1132
01:12:44,292 --> 01:12:46,878
So I didn't pay him much mind.
1133
01:12:48,296 --> 01:12:52,301
I may not remember a name,
but I always remember a face.
1134
01:12:53,302 --> 01:12:55,471
Later, I saw him on television.
1135
01:12:57,139 --> 01:12:59,725
I screamed, "My God, that's him!"
1136
01:13:00,059 --> 01:13:01,977
"That's Jack's friend!"
1137
01:13:03,312 --> 01:13:05,314
Will you testify, Beverly?
1138
01:13:07,900 --> 01:13:11,070
- I don't think so.
- I thought we had an agreement.
1139
01:13:14,240 --> 01:13:18,704
- I don't want to be another statistic.
- We could call you in.
1140
01:13:18,912 --> 01:13:23,000
If they can kill the President
of the United States...
1141
01:13:23,917 --> 01:13:28,338
...you think they'll think twice
about a two-bit show girl like me?
1142
01:13:33,802 --> 01:13:36,179
I understand the pressure you're under.
1143
01:13:36,888 --> 01:13:38,890
Don't think that I don't.
1144
01:13:39,933 --> 01:13:41,435
We both do.
1145
01:13:47,609 --> 01:13:52,530
Mr. Chief Justice, do you understand
that I can't tell the truth in Dallas?
1146
01:13:53,948 --> 01:13:57,035
There are people here who do
not want me to tell the truth.
1147
01:13:57,452 --> 01:13:59,621
Who don't want me to have a retrial.
1148
01:14:00,204 --> 01:14:02,457
Why don't you just tell us now?
1149
01:14:02,790 --> 01:14:04,459
My life is in danger!
1150
01:14:04,792 --> 01:14:07,462
If you request that I
go to Washington...
1151
01:14:07,629 --> 01:14:10,633
That is, if you want to hear
further testimony from me.
1152
01:14:10,883 --> 01:14:12,468
Can you take me with you?
1153
01:14:12,635 --> 01:14:14,470
No. It can't be done.
1154
01:14:14,970 --> 01:14:17,139
There would be no safe place for you.
1155
01:14:17,306 --> 01:14:20,309
We're not law enforcement officers.
1156
01:14:20,643 --> 01:14:24,313
There's a great deal at
stake in this matter.
1157
01:14:24,980 --> 01:14:26,815
If I'm eliminated...
1158
01:14:27,149 --> 01:14:31,987
...there won't be any way of knowing any
bit of truth pertaining to my situation.
1159
01:14:33,322 --> 01:14:37,828
Consequently, a whole new form
of government will take over.
1160
01:14:39,162 --> 01:14:42,415
And I won't live to see
you some other time.
1161
01:14:42,833 --> 01:14:44,501
I want to tell the truth.
1162
01:14:44,668 --> 01:14:45,836
And then...
1163
01:14:46,002 --> 01:14:47,671
...leave this world.
1164
01:14:50,006 --> 01:14:53,510
The Zapruder film establishes
3 shots in 5.6 seconds.
1165
01:14:56,930 --> 01:14:58,265
I'm Oswald.
1166
01:14:59,266 --> 01:15:00,600
Time me.
1167
01:15:01,685 --> 01:15:02,770
Go.
1168
01:15:08,276 --> 01:15:09,277
Time?
1169
01:15:09,444 --> 01:15:10,945
Between 6 and 7 seconds.
1170
01:15:11,112 --> 01:15:12,613
Without really aiming.
1171
01:15:12,864 --> 01:15:16,701
The 2nd and 3rd shots came almost
right on top of each other.
1172
01:15:17,034 --> 01:15:19,036
It takes a minimum of...
1173
01:15:19,203 --> 01:15:22,123
...2.3 seconds to recycle this thing.
1174
01:15:22,290 --> 01:15:24,625
The other problem is,
there was a tree...
1175
01:15:25,042 --> 01:15:29,131
...blocking the first 2 shots
when fired in the Zapruder film.
1176
01:15:29,798 --> 01:15:33,469
Didn't Hoover say something
about leaves falling in November?
1177
01:15:33,635 --> 01:15:35,971
It was Texas live oak, chief.
1178
01:15:36,388 --> 01:15:39,141
It sheds its leaves in early March.
1179
01:15:39,391 --> 01:15:42,811
Take this Carcano, world's
worst shoulder weapon...
1180
01:15:43,061 --> 01:15:47,858
...and try to hit a moving target
at 88 yards through heavy foliage.
1181
01:15:48,233 --> 01:15:49,568
No way.
1182
01:15:52,404 --> 01:15:54,657
FBI tried two sets of tests.
1183
01:15:54,824 --> 01:15:58,161
Not one sharpshooter could
match Oswald's performance.
1184
01:15:58,328 --> 01:15:59,662
Not one.
1185
01:15:59,829 --> 01:16:02,499
Oswald was at best a medium shot.
1186
01:16:02,832 --> 01:16:05,168
The scope was defective on it too.
1187
01:16:05,418 --> 01:16:08,338
This is the whole essence
of the case to me.
1188
01:16:08,588 --> 01:16:11,174
The guy couldn't do the shooting.
1189
01:16:11,591 --> 01:16:12,926
Nobody could.
1190
01:16:13,176 --> 01:16:14,677
They sold this lemon to
the American public.
1191
01:16:17,680 --> 01:16:20,768
The Zapruder film was the
proof they didn't count on.
1192
01:16:21,602 --> 01:16:23,437
We must get hold of it.
1193
01:16:24,772 --> 01:16:28,275
It means we'll have to
subpoena Time-Life.
1194
01:16:29,026 --> 01:16:30,778
Let me ask you something.
1195
01:16:31,070 --> 01:16:33,322
Why not just shoot Kennedy on Houston?
1196
01:16:33,864 --> 01:16:35,533
Plenty of time.
1197
01:16:36,701 --> 01:16:39,704
- He's out in the open.
- I keep asking myself the same thing.
1198
01:16:39,870 --> 01:16:41,914
- Frontal shot.
- Even if you miss him once...
1199
01:16:42,707 --> 01:16:45,292
...if he accelerates,
you get a second shot.
1200
01:16:45,459 --> 01:16:47,379
The only reason to get him on Elm...
1201
01:16:47,629 --> 01:16:50,966
...is you got him in a
triangulated cross fire.
1202
01:16:51,550 --> 01:16:54,303
You put a team there down at the fence.
1203
01:16:54,469 --> 01:16:57,306
Frontal shot. Flat, low trajectory.
1204
01:16:57,639 --> 01:17:00,475
Put a third team down
in this building...
1205
01:17:00,642 --> 01:17:02,227
...on a low floor.
1206
01:17:02,561 --> 01:17:05,480
Kennedy's in the kill zone.
It's a turkey shoot.
1207
01:17:08,567 --> 01:17:09,985
How many men?
1208
01:17:11,737 --> 01:17:15,658
One shooter. One spotter on a radio.
Maybe three teams.
1209
01:17:17,994 --> 01:17:21,581
These are professional riflemen.
Serious people.
1210
01:17:22,415 --> 01:17:23,583
Hunters.
1211
01:17:25,501 --> 01:17:26,836
Patient.
1212
01:17:28,755 --> 01:17:30,673
It takes skill to kill with a rifle.
1213
01:17:33,927 --> 01:17:38,766
That's why no chief executive's been
executed with one in 200 years.
1214
01:17:42,186 --> 01:17:42,853
Three...
1215
01:17:44,355 --> 01:17:45,064
...two...
1216
01:17:46,941 --> 01:17:47,691
...one.
1217
01:17:58,035 --> 01:18:00,037
Main Street's over there.
1218
01:18:00,871 --> 01:18:04,375
The original parade route on
the way to the trade mart...
1219
01:18:04,417 --> 01:18:06,044
...is too far, right?
1220
01:18:07,087 --> 01:18:10,340
Impossible shot, so they change
the parade route.
1221
01:18:11,216 --> 01:18:12,551
Bring him down here.
1222
01:18:12,592 --> 01:18:14,344
Moving a normal 25 miles per hour...
1223
01:18:14,427 --> 01:18:16,137
...they knew the motorcade
would have to slow down...
1224
01:18:16,221 --> 01:18:19,432
...to about 10 miles per hour
to make that turn there...
1225
01:18:19,516 --> 01:18:21,768
...and that's where they got him.
1226
01:18:28,316 --> 01:18:30,778
Who do you think changed
the parade route, Lou?
1227
01:18:30,882 --> 01:18:34,449
Beats me. Secret Service,
city officials, Dallas Police.
1228
01:18:34,615 --> 01:18:36,576
You know who
the mayor was at the time?
1229
01:18:36,617 --> 01:18:37,869
Roy Cabell.
1230
01:18:38,411 --> 01:18:39,787
Guess who his brother is.
1231
01:18:39,829 --> 01:18:40,746
Who?
1232
01:18:41,456 --> 01:18:42,790
General Charles Cabell.
1233
01:18:42,832 --> 01:18:43,624
Who?
1234
01:18:43,708 --> 01:18:45,418
Deputy Director of the CIA
1235
01:18:45,460 --> 01:18:49,297
Kennedy fired him in '61 because
of the Bay of Pigs fiasco.
1236
01:18:49,964 --> 01:18:53,384
Moved back to the Pentagon,
called Kennedy a traitor.
1237
01:18:53,468 --> 01:18:55,178
When he came to New Orleans...
1238
01:18:55,219 --> 01:18:56,638
...to address the Foreign Policy
Association...
1239
01:18:56,680 --> 01:18:58,432
...you know who introduced him?
1240
01:18:58,515 --> 01:18:59,183
Who?
1241
01:19:00,017 --> 01:19:01,685
Our friend, Clay Shaw.
1242
01:19:01,727 --> 01:19:03,604
Didn't the Warren Commission call him?
1243
01:19:03,645 --> 01:19:05,731
His boss was the one on the
Warren Commission...
1244
01:19:05,814 --> 01:19:07,983
...who handled all the leads
in the intelligence community.
1245
01:19:08,067 --> 01:19:09,234
Allen Dulles?
1246
01:19:09,318 --> 01:19:11,487
Head of the CIA since '53.
1247
01:19:12,154 --> 01:19:14,156
Kennedy fired them both.
1248
01:19:15,240 --> 01:19:17,743
Cabell was a deputy for nine years.
1249
01:19:19,244 --> 01:19:22,539
Talk about the fox investigating
the chicken coop.
1250
01:19:23,792 --> 01:19:26,044
Now, we'll have to subpoena them both.
1251
01:19:38,181 --> 01:19:40,809
Clay Bertrand? Sure, I know him.
1252
01:19:41,101 --> 01:19:42,560
Comes to the Quarter.
1253
01:19:42,727 --> 01:19:46,898
Who is he? I've been to all the bars.
Nobody wants to talk.
1254
01:19:47,857 --> 01:19:49,902
Why should they talk to you?
1255
01:19:51,028 --> 01:19:55,157
I told your uncle, I never met
a lawman who wasn't a punk.
1256
01:19:58,744 --> 01:20:01,831
A big shot businessman.
I seen him on the TV news...
1257
01:20:02,123 --> 01:20:04,375
...with all the other big shots.
1258
01:20:04,542 --> 01:20:06,752
The guy's a fag, you know?
1259
01:20:07,044 --> 01:20:08,671
Goes by another name.
1260
01:20:08,879 --> 01:20:10,256
What name?
1261
01:20:10,923 --> 01:20:12,049
Shaw.
1262
01:20:12,216 --> 01:20:13,676
Clay Shaw.
1263
01:20:14,051 --> 01:20:15,595
Clay Bertrand is Clay Shaw?
1264
01:20:16,722 --> 01:20:18,765
Ran the International Trade Mart?
1265
01:20:19,599 --> 01:20:22,936
What's the mystery?
Everybody down here knows him.
1266
01:20:24,146 --> 01:20:26,606
Then why does he call himself Bertrand?
1267
01:20:26,940 --> 01:20:29,610
Who gives a shit what he calls himself?
1268
01:20:29,901 --> 01:20:33,697
Will you give us a little help
on that Grand Jury thing?
1269
01:20:33,905 --> 01:20:36,283
I hope so. We could use it.
1270
01:20:36,450 --> 01:20:38,201
Your hunch was right, boss.
1271
01:20:38,243 --> 01:20:40,495
But it's even spookier than we thought.
1272
01:20:40,537 --> 01:20:42,832
Starting in September '63 on,
1273
01:20:43,249 --> 01:20:45,585
two months before the assassination,
1274
01:20:45,627 --> 01:20:48,713
there are sightings of Oswald
all over Dallas.
1275
01:20:48,880 --> 01:20:52,300
Buying ammunition, getting
a telescopic sight fixed.
1276
01:20:54,260 --> 01:20:55,762
Going to rifle ranges.
1277
01:20:55,803 --> 01:20:56,804
Early November...
1278
01:20:56,888 --> 01:20:59,807
...at a Dallas downtown
Lincoln/Mercury dealership...
1279
01:20:59,891 --> 01:21:02,352
...where he tells the salesman,
Albert Beauregard.
1280
01:21:02,435 --> 01:21:03,436
Let's take it out for a test drive.
1281
01:21:03,519 --> 01:21:05,271
Despite the fact that he
has no license, and...
1282
01:21:05,355 --> 01:21:06,606
...from what Marina says...
1283
01:21:06,689 --> 01:21:10,736
...doesn't know how to drive, he hits the
curves like A.J. Foyt at the Indy 500.
1284
01:21:11,028 --> 01:21:14,823
Beauregard later told his boss
that he drove like a madman.
1285
01:21:15,157 --> 01:21:18,327
300 bucks down now, Mr. Oswald,
you can drive out of here.
1286
01:21:18,410 --> 01:21:20,287
What?! For this heap?
1287
01:21:21,455 --> 01:21:22,831
No honest working man...
1288
01:21:22,915 --> 01:21:25,543
...can afford to buy a car in this
goddamn country anymore.
1289
01:21:25,626 --> 01:21:27,962
Maybe I'll have to go to Russia
and buy a car.
1290
01:21:28,003 --> 01:21:29,463
Really dumb dialogue...
1291
01:21:29,505 --> 01:21:32,341
...like he's trying to draw attention
to himself. A real moron.
1292
01:21:32,383 --> 01:21:35,762
He walks out. Salesman remembers
him as about 5'7".
1293
01:21:35,804 --> 01:21:38,974
But we know from Oswald's draft card
that he was actually 5'11".
1294
01:21:39,307 --> 01:21:42,686
Other witnesses see him at
different firing ranges.
1295
01:21:43,854 --> 01:21:45,856
One time, November 9th...
1296
01:21:46,022 --> 01:21:49,359
...he decides to practice
on the next guy's target.
1297
01:21:49,526 --> 01:21:51,319
I didn't pay for a target...
1298
01:21:51,486 --> 01:21:53,613
...just to have you shoot at it!
1299
01:21:54,322 --> 01:21:55,949
I'm sorry, buddy.
1300
01:21:57,534 --> 01:22:00,371
I thought I was shooting at
that son-of-a-bitch Kennedy.
1301
01:22:01,164 --> 01:22:04,292
As subtle as a cockroach
crawling across a white rug.
1302
01:22:04,500 --> 01:22:06,961
Then he shows up at Sylvia Odio's...
1303
01:22:07,336 --> 01:22:10,381
...Cuban lady in Dallas in
the anti-Castro underground.
1304
01:22:11,007 --> 01:22:14,635
The two Cubans introduce
him as Leon Oswald.
1305
01:22:16,679 --> 01:22:18,181
Something about the man bothers her.
1306
01:22:18,264 --> 01:22:21,851
About 48 hours later, one
of the Cubans calls her back.
1307
01:22:22,101 --> 01:22:24,520
Oye! What do you think
of Leon Oswald last night?
1308
01:22:24,562 --> 01:22:26,148
I don't care. I don't know Oswald.
1309
01:22:26,190 --> 01:22:27,357
You know what he said to us?
1310
01:22:27,441 --> 01:22:29,318
He said, "You Cubans
don't have any guts...
1311
01:22:29,359 --> 01:22:31,695
...'cause Kennedy should have been
killed after the Bay of Pigs...
1312
01:22:31,737 --> 01:22:33,030
...and some Cuban should have done it."
1313
01:22:33,113 --> 01:22:36,533
It's like he's giving her information
she doesn't even ask for.
1314
01:22:36,638 --> 01:22:38,660
She's scared. Doesn't see him again...
1315
01:22:38,702 --> 01:22:41,163
...till she sees Oswald's
picture in the paper.
1316
01:22:42,039 --> 01:22:45,250
But the Warren Commission
says Sylvia...
1317
01:22:45,417 --> 01:22:48,712
...has bad eyesight because
they have Oswald in Mexico...
1318
01:22:48,879 --> 01:22:51,508
...trying to get back into Cuba.
1319
01:22:51,716 --> 01:22:55,178
The CIA has a camera
outside the Cuban Embassy.
1320
01:22:55,387 --> 01:22:57,347
And they say that this...
1321
01:22:58,014 --> 01:22:59,516
...is Oswald in Mexico.
1322
01:23:01,559 --> 01:23:04,854
If this is Oswald, it
must be our third Oswald.
1323
01:23:05,063 --> 01:23:09,526
The Warren Commission made great
efforts to make him a Communist.
1324
01:23:09,901 --> 01:23:14,864
I think the point of the Mexican episode
was to lay the blame on Fidel Castro.
1325
01:23:15,907 --> 01:23:18,911
If Oswald or someone
purporting to be Oswald...
1326
01:23:19,120 --> 01:23:22,790
...had gotten into Cuba, come back,
then killed the President...
1327
01:23:23,416 --> 01:23:26,711
...the American public would
support a Cuban invasion.
1328
01:23:26,919 --> 01:23:29,755
I even have doubts
about this photo, boss.
1329
01:23:30,047 --> 01:23:33,217
This convicted Oswald
in the public's mind.
1330
01:23:33,426 --> 01:23:37,054
But Oswald told Capt. Fritz
that the photo was a fake.
1331
01:23:37,221 --> 01:23:38,639
This is not me!
1332
01:23:38,764 --> 01:23:40,641
It was in Janet Williams' garage.
1333
01:23:40,766 --> 01:23:42,727
I never saw this picture.
1334
01:23:42,893 --> 01:23:47,107
It's my face but it's superimposed.
The rest is not me.
1335
01:23:47,316 --> 01:23:51,653
I know photographic work.
That picture was made by someone else!
1336
01:23:51,778 --> 01:23:53,780
I took this picture to two experts.
1337
01:23:53,947 --> 01:23:56,450
The shadows on the nose...
1338
01:23:56,658 --> 01:23:58,952
...fall straight, like it's high noon.
1339
01:23:59,119 --> 01:24:02,581
But the shadow on the ground reads
like late afternoon or early morning.
1340
01:24:02,789 --> 01:24:06,627
It's not the same time. And see
the crop marks across the chin?
1341
01:24:06,960 --> 01:24:09,504
This head is pasted onto another body.
1342
01:24:10,089 --> 01:24:12,592
Implicating him with the rifle and gun.
1343
01:24:12,926 --> 01:24:16,638
Who the hell are you?
Alex Hidell or Lee Oswald?
1344
01:24:19,682 --> 01:24:21,643
You're policemen. You work it out.
1345
01:24:21,976 --> 01:24:24,479
Now it gets positively spooky.
1346
01:24:24,646 --> 01:24:28,983
In January 1961, in New Orleans,
at the Bolton Ford dealership...
1347
01:24:29,484 --> 01:24:32,445
...when the Oswald we know
is in Russia...
1348
01:24:32,570 --> 01:24:35,658
...there is a man using the
name Oswald to buy trucks...
1349
01:24:36,158 --> 01:24:37,993
...for the Friends of Democratic Cuba.
1350
01:24:38,661 --> 01:24:40,329
Salesman never sees him again,
but guess who's on the...
1351
01:24:40,496 --> 01:24:45,084
...Articles of Incorporation of
the Friends of Democratic Cuba?
1352
01:24:45,918 --> 01:24:47,503
Guy Banister.
1353
01:24:48,671 --> 01:24:52,341
Banister has someone using the
name Oswald to buy the trucks.
1354
01:24:52,591 --> 01:24:56,136
Hoover at the FBI has a
memo dated June of 1960...
1355
01:24:56,345 --> 01:24:57,972
...that someone...
1356
01:24:58,180 --> 01:25:00,182
...could be using Oswald's
passport and identity.
1357
01:25:00,683 --> 01:25:03,061
They created Oswald from day one.
1358
01:25:03,395 --> 01:25:07,899
Like a dummy corporation in the Bahamas.
Just move him around a board.
1359
01:25:08,066 --> 01:25:09,734
Anybody want to quit?
1360
01:25:12,070 --> 01:25:14,239
Dumb question. Put your hands down.
1361
01:25:16,533 --> 01:25:18,410
I found Clay Bertrand.
1362
01:25:19,202 --> 01:25:21,746
Grab your socks and hose and pull.
1363
01:25:22,080 --> 01:25:24,082
Clay Bertrand is Clay Shaw.
1364
01:25:24,875 --> 01:25:28,004
- Director of the Trade Mart?
- Former director.
1365
01:25:28,212 --> 01:25:29,297
Incredible.
1366
01:25:29,464 --> 01:25:31,132
Can you get sworn statements?
1367
01:25:32,049 --> 01:25:34,677
That'll be tough. Nobody's talking.
1368
01:25:35,887 --> 01:25:37,763
Let's have him in for a chat.
1369
01:25:37,930 --> 01:25:40,266
I hate to get him dragged into this.
1370
01:25:40,433 --> 01:25:43,728
He's done so much for the city,
restoring the Quarter.
1371
01:25:43,936 --> 01:25:47,940
Remember, we saw him at a fund-raiser.
Seems like such a nice man.
1372
01:25:48,232 --> 01:25:51,944
It'll be off the record.
I'll bring him in on a Sunday.
1373
01:25:53,738 --> 01:25:56,116
A quiet little chat between gentlemen.
1374
01:26:12,758 --> 01:26:14,468
In heavy fighting in Vietnam today...
1375
01:26:14,635 --> 01:26:17,805
...7 more American soldiers
died and 23 were wounded.
1376
01:26:17,971 --> 01:26:21,059
The body count for this week
is now over 67 Americans...
1377
01:26:21,267 --> 01:26:24,312
...and 626 enemy soldiers
killed in action.
1378
01:26:24,646 --> 01:26:29,109
President Johnson said he regretted
there is no end in sight to the war...
1379
01:26:29,275 --> 01:26:31,903
...where 500,000 U.S.
troops are now fighting.
1380
01:26:32,112 --> 01:26:33,071
We face...
1381
01:26:33,279 --> 01:26:34,447
...more cost...
1382
01:26:34,614 --> 01:26:35,949
...more loss...
1383
01:26:36,491 --> 01:26:37,826
...and more agony.
1384
01:26:37,992 --> 01:26:40,078
Come hunt for Easter eggs.
1385
01:26:40,620 --> 01:26:45,458
That's the kids' job. You know I don't
like these tribal rituals, anyway.
1386
01:26:45,625 --> 01:26:48,004
I'm talking to Clay Shaw this morning.
1387
01:26:48,170 --> 01:26:50,965
We're going to Antoine's with the kids!
1388
01:26:51,132 --> 01:26:53,259
I told you I was talking to Shaw.
1389
01:26:53,342 --> 01:26:55,803
In the middle of Easter Sunday?
1390
01:26:55,970 --> 01:26:58,681
When I scheduled it, I didn't
know it was a holiday.
1391
01:26:58,973 --> 01:27:00,850
Look at the calendar!
1392
01:27:01,017 --> 01:27:03,185
You said a Sunday, not Easter Sunday.
1393
01:27:03,853 --> 01:27:05,646
Clay Shaw is important.
1394
01:27:05,855 --> 01:27:08,524
- And we're not.
- I didn't say that.
1395
01:27:09,150 --> 01:27:10,776
I didn't say that.
1396
01:27:11,652 --> 01:27:14,865
You're missing most of your
life and you don't know it.
1397
01:27:15,032 --> 01:27:17,117
The kids are missing out too.
1398
01:27:17,701 --> 01:27:21,997
- We're all making sacrifices.
- I'll be there by 2:00, I promise.
1399
01:27:22,831 --> 01:27:24,499
Just start without me.
1400
01:27:34,217 --> 01:27:37,179
Mr. Garrison, what can I do
for you on Easter Sunday?
1401
01:27:37,346 --> 01:27:39,390
I'm sorry to interrupt this holiday.
1402
01:27:39,557 --> 01:27:44,062
But this conversation is best kept out
of the everyday bustle of this office.
1403
01:27:44,228 --> 01:27:45,730
I don't understand.
1404
01:27:45,897 --> 01:27:50,068
In an investigation we're conducting,
your name keeps coming up.
1405
01:27:50,235 --> 01:27:51,236
Can't imagine where.
1406
01:27:51,736 --> 01:27:55,531
We've talked to a number of
men who claim to know you.
1407
01:27:55,740 --> 01:27:57,700
Do you know a David Logan?
1408
01:27:57,867 --> 01:27:59,827
No. Never heard of him.
1409
01:28:00,578 --> 01:28:01,704
Perry Russo?
1410
01:28:01,871 --> 01:28:02,872
No.
1411
01:28:03,873 --> 01:28:05,584
Willie O'Keefe?
1412
01:28:06,877 --> 01:28:09,421
I don't know anyone by that name.
1413
01:28:09,588 --> 01:28:13,884
Mr. O'Keefe told us he met you at
the Masquerade Bar in the Quarter.
1414
01:28:14,385 --> 01:28:18,347
Then you had him over for dinner at
your apartment on Dauphine Street.
1415
01:28:18,556 --> 01:28:21,392
- Do you recall that?
- I don't know this man.
1416
01:28:22,434 --> 01:28:23,936
Be still my heart.
1417
01:28:24,228 --> 01:28:26,772
Obviously, I wouldn't have him over.
1418
01:28:26,939 --> 01:28:28,566
Hope you like squab.
1419
01:28:30,402 --> 01:28:31,862
Champagne?
1420
01:28:32,237 --> 01:28:36,867
Perhaps a few more details about the
evening will refresh your memory.
1421
01:28:42,789 --> 01:28:47,586
Mr. O'Keefe told us dinner was served
by a uniformed waiter, a colored man.
1422
01:28:48,086 --> 01:28:52,632
You sat at one end and he at the
other, which he found unusual...
1423
01:28:52,966 --> 01:28:55,135
...because the table was so long.
1424
01:28:55,635 --> 01:28:56,971
How was your mousse?
1425
01:28:57,138 --> 01:28:59,432
Bring back memories of Willie O'Keefe?
1426
01:28:59,599 --> 01:29:00,933
Not at all.
1427
01:29:01,434 --> 01:29:03,144
But I do have...
1428
01:29:03,311 --> 01:29:05,771
...a lovely Chippendale dining table.
1429
01:29:05,980 --> 01:29:09,609
I often have a friend sit at one
end while I sit at the other.
1430
01:29:09,776 --> 01:29:13,488
It's precisely the point
of a long dining table.
1431
01:29:13,654 --> 01:29:16,491
The splendor of the meal
adds to its enjoyment.
1432
01:29:16,783 --> 01:29:18,910
I imagine a uniformed waiter helps.
1433
01:29:19,118 --> 01:29:21,329
It adds elegance, for which I confess...
1434
01:29:21,496 --> 01:29:23,499
...a weakness now and then.
1435
01:29:23,791 --> 01:29:25,000
I call him Smedley.
1436
01:29:26,293 --> 01:29:30,672
His real name's Frankie Jenkins, but it
would be so uncouth during dinner...
1437
01:29:30,839 --> 01:29:33,175
...to turn to the kitchen and holler...
1438
01:29:33,342 --> 01:29:35,010
..."Frankie! "
1439
01:29:40,140 --> 01:29:42,267
Where is all this leading to?
1440
01:29:42,518 --> 01:29:44,311
After dinner, you paid him to have sex.
1441
01:29:48,315 --> 01:29:50,360
That is absolute nonsense.
1442
01:29:51,027 --> 01:29:55,365
The Quarter is filled with vivid
imaginations, dear Mr. Garrison.
1443
01:29:55,657 --> 01:29:58,993
Grimy young hoodlums who
will say and do anything!
1444
01:29:59,160 --> 01:30:00,995
Mr. O'Keefe told us...
1445
01:30:01,162 --> 01:30:04,290
...David Ferrie came to the
house with another young man.
1446
01:30:06,334 --> 01:30:08,294
- Who?
- David Ferrie.
1447
01:30:09,379 --> 01:30:11,172
I don't know that name.
1448
01:30:11,548 --> 01:30:15,219
Having never met Mr. O'Keefe,
I couldn't have met Mr. Ferrie.
1449
01:30:28,858 --> 01:30:30,318
You're mine, Mary.
1450
01:30:31,235 --> 01:30:34,071
You partied early into
the morning hours.
1451
01:30:34,363 --> 01:30:35,990
Look at this picture.
1452
01:30:36,907 --> 01:30:39,910
I've never met anyone of
such bizarre appearance.
1453
01:30:48,420 --> 01:30:52,507
Only way you get this, you do
exactly what I say. I'm the man.
1454
01:30:54,551 --> 01:30:56,720
You know the name Clay Bertrand?
1455
01:30:56,887 --> 01:30:58,430
Clay Bertrands.
1456
01:30:59,056 --> 01:31:02,768
A man with a similar name worked
at the Chamber of Commerce.
1457
01:31:02,934 --> 01:31:05,771
- That the man you had in mind?
- No, it was not.
1458
01:31:06,605 --> 01:31:09,108
Can you identify this man?
1459
01:31:09,275 --> 01:31:13,279
Naturally. You claim Mr. Oswald
also had dinner with me?
1460
01:31:13,571 --> 01:31:16,449
Have you ever met Lee Harvey Oswald?
1461
01:31:16,616 --> 01:31:20,286
You have me consorting with
a sordid cast of characters.
1462
01:31:20,453 --> 01:31:23,122
- Please answer the question.
- 'Course not.
1463
01:31:23,623 --> 01:31:26,584
The assassination was such a pity.
In fact...
1464
01:31:26,751 --> 01:31:29,254
...l admired Kennedy.
Man of true panache.
1465
01:31:29,420 --> 01:31:31,256
Wife of impeccable taste.
1466
01:31:31,631 --> 01:31:35,094
Let's order without your daddy.
He won't mind.
1467
01:31:35,261 --> 01:31:36,971
I want a Shirley Temple!
1468
01:31:37,137 --> 01:31:39,473
Kids, put your water guns away.
1469
01:31:39,932 --> 01:31:41,475
When's Daddy coming?
1470
01:31:42,476 --> 01:31:44,061
He's coming soon.
1471
01:31:44,311 --> 01:31:47,648
He's sorry he's late, but
he promised he'd be here.
1472
01:31:47,815 --> 01:31:50,818
Daddy never keeps his promises.
1473
01:31:54,613 --> 01:31:57,241
This Italian newspaper article says...
1474
01:31:57,449 --> 01:32:01,413
...you were a board member of
Centro Mondo Commerciale in Italy.
1475
01:32:01,788 --> 01:32:06,001
This company was created by the
CIA to transfer funds in Italy...
1476
01:32:06,168 --> 01:32:08,837
...for illegal political
espionage activities.
1477
01:32:09,004 --> 01:32:13,300
Says that this company was expelled
from Italy for those activities.
1478
01:32:13,508 --> 01:32:15,969
I'm well aware of that asinine article.
1479
01:32:16,136 --> 01:32:18,346
I'm thinking of suing that rag.
1480
01:32:18,513 --> 01:32:21,516
This company is linked to the
Schlumberger Tool Company...
1481
01:32:21,683 --> 01:32:25,188
...in Louisiana, providing arms
to David Ferrie and his Cubans.
1482
01:32:25,480 --> 01:32:27,023
You're reaching.
1483
01:32:27,190 --> 01:32:28,191
Am l?
1484
01:32:28,357 --> 01:32:31,944
I'm an international businessman.
The Trade Mart I founded...
1485
01:32:32,153 --> 01:32:36,824
...is America's commercial pipeline to
Latin America. I trade everywhere.
1486
01:32:37,492 --> 01:32:39,827
Like all businessmen,
I am accused of all things.
1487
01:32:40,870 --> 01:32:45,208
I go about my business, make money,
help society the best I can...
1488
01:32:45,374 --> 01:32:48,169
...and try to promote
free trade in this world.
1489
01:32:49,170 --> 01:32:52,382
Have you ever been a
contract agent for the CIA?
1490
01:32:57,012 --> 01:32:58,555
And if I were...
1491
01:32:59,389 --> 01:33:02,726
...do you believe I
would be here today...
1492
01:33:03,727 --> 01:33:06,021
...talking to somebody like you?
1493
01:33:11,527 --> 01:33:14,238
- People like you don't have to.
- May I go?
1494
01:33:14,405 --> 01:33:17,701
People like you walk
between the raindrops.
1495
01:33:18,243 --> 01:33:19,577
May I go?
1496
01:33:21,705 --> 01:33:22,872
Yes.
1497
01:33:31,047 --> 01:33:35,927
Regardless of what you may think of me,
I am a patriot first and foremost.
1498
01:33:36,094 --> 01:33:38,430
I've spent half my life
in the military...
1499
01:33:38,596 --> 01:33:40,390
...defending my country.
1500
01:33:40,557 --> 01:33:44,937
I don't consider it a patriotic
act to murder your own President.
1501
01:33:45,104 --> 01:33:47,273
You are way out of line.
1502
01:33:47,440 --> 01:33:50,776
It's getting late. That's
all the questions we have.
1503
01:33:50,943 --> 01:33:53,112
Thank you for your honesty.
1504
01:33:53,779 --> 01:33:55,614
I enjoyed meeting you.
1505
01:33:56,741 --> 01:34:00,119
And you, Miss Cox.
It's been most pleasant.
1506
01:34:05,124 --> 01:34:09,921
I extend to you and your families
my best wishes for a Happy Easter.
1507
01:34:18,305 --> 01:34:21,642
"One may smile, and
smile and be a villain."
1508
01:34:22,768 --> 01:34:25,103
Goddamn it! We've got one of them.
1509
01:34:25,270 --> 01:34:26,188
See that?
1510
01:34:43,289 --> 01:34:44,624
Hi, honey.
1511
01:34:49,337 --> 01:34:50,672
Tough day.
1512
01:34:50,838 --> 01:34:52,507
Where you been?
1513
01:34:53,299 --> 01:34:54,759
My sympathies.
1514
01:34:55,009 --> 01:34:58,513
I'm sorry, the meeting took
much longer than expected.
1515
01:34:58,680 --> 01:35:00,181
Just a second.
1516
01:35:00,807 --> 01:35:03,352
We waited for hours, Jim!
1517
01:35:04,520 --> 01:35:06,522
You could've telephoned.
1518
01:35:06,689 --> 01:35:11,360
I can only say I'm sorry.
I just don't have rabbits on my mind.
1519
01:35:12,027 --> 01:35:13,612
You know what I think?
1520
01:35:13,821 --> 01:35:17,283
You care more about John Kennedy
than your own family.
1521
01:35:17,491 --> 01:35:21,996
All day the kids ask, "Where's Daddy?"
What should I tell them?
1522
01:35:22,329 --> 01:35:23,789
I don't know!
1523
01:35:23,998 --> 01:35:27,042
The truth! I'm doing my job
to make sure they grow up...
1524
01:35:27,334 --> 01:35:31,214
...in a country where justice won't be
a vanished idea in history books...
1525
01:35:31,381 --> 01:35:33,550
...like dinosaurs or Atlantis.
1526
01:35:33,675 --> 01:35:36,511
It doesn't replace a husband
or a father on Easter Sunday.
1527
01:35:36,678 --> 01:35:38,805
It's going to get worse!
1528
01:35:44,477 --> 01:35:46,479
I beat you again, I must get a raise.
1529
01:35:46,646 --> 01:35:49,149
Who can you brag to?
1530
01:35:51,193 --> 01:35:54,655
Who killed President Kennedy?
Was there a conspiracy here?
1531
01:35:54,822 --> 01:35:57,200
I don't know what you're talking about.
1532
01:35:58,034 --> 01:36:00,703
Clear the door! Watch out! Move!
1533
01:36:03,206 --> 01:36:05,500
Congratulations. You're Page One.
1534
01:36:06,042 --> 01:36:07,710
Ain't pretty. It says...
1535
01:36:07,877 --> 01:36:11,714
...we've spent $8,000 on
unexplained investigative expenses...
1536
01:36:11,881 --> 01:36:13,382
...since November, 1966.
1537
01:36:13,424 --> 01:36:14,342
Goddamn!
1538
01:36:14,967 --> 01:36:16,552
They went to the public records.
1539
01:36:16,636 --> 01:36:19,263
They got the vouchers that
we requested for withdrawals.
1540
01:36:19,305 --> 01:36:21,058
Shaw must have gotten them on our tail.
1541
01:36:21,141 --> 01:36:23,685
It could have been Ferrie, Martin,
Andrews, any of them.
1542
01:36:23,727 --> 01:36:25,896
Damnit, we didn't talk
to Ruby 'cause of them...
1543
01:36:25,979 --> 01:36:28,482
...and they're on our asses
for a measly $8,000.
1544
01:36:28,565 --> 01:36:30,025
They're hunting down the news.
It's their business.
1545
01:36:30,067 --> 01:36:33,070
Well, you'd at least think they'd attempt
to understand what we're tryin' to do!
1546
01:36:33,153 --> 01:36:36,573
Getting angry doesn't accomplish
a damn thing, now.
1547
01:36:38,033 --> 01:36:39,493
Son-of-a-bitch.
1548
01:36:40,661 --> 01:36:43,205
Well, this changes everything,
now, doesn't it?
1549
01:36:43,247 --> 01:36:44,832
What do you mean?
1550
01:36:47,210 --> 01:36:48,378
Well, either we pull out now...
1551
01:36:48,420 --> 01:36:51,297
...or we go through some
heavy flak together.
1552
01:36:53,591 --> 01:36:54,718
Bear in mind, each of you...
1553
01:36:54,759 --> 01:36:58,221
...this may affect the rest
of your careers, your lives.
1554
01:36:58,722 --> 01:37:01,891
Any one of you who want
to pull out now, I assure you...
1555
01:37:01,975 --> 01:37:04,227
...l will bear no ill feelings
towards that person.
1556
01:37:04,269 --> 01:37:06,813
I'll reassign you to regular duties.
1557
01:37:10,275 --> 01:37:11,609
There it is, then.
1558
01:37:11,693 --> 01:37:12,903
Thank you.
1559
01:37:13,112 --> 01:37:15,281
It means a great deal to me.
1560
01:37:17,950 --> 01:37:22,038
I'm giving this office $6,000 from my
National Guard savings account...
1561
01:37:22,455 --> 01:37:24,123
...so we can continue.
1562
01:37:24,874 --> 01:37:28,461
I'll make speeches where I can
and pick up additional money.
1563
01:37:28,627 --> 01:37:31,130
Mr. Garrison, what shall I tell them?
They're piling up outside the door.
1564
01:37:31,213 --> 01:37:32,465
They want a statement.
1565
01:37:32,548 --> 01:37:34,467
The phones are going crazier
than bugs on a cake!
1566
01:37:34,571 --> 01:37:37,470
Neither confirm, deny,
nor discuss, Sharon.
1567
01:37:39,139 --> 01:37:41,183
Goodbye, ladies, gentlemen.
1568
01:37:43,185 --> 01:37:46,647
I'm going home to where I can get
a decent day's work done.
1569
01:37:47,648 --> 01:37:49,483
...has raised some interesting questions.
1570
01:37:49,650 --> 01:37:53,403
With taxpayer money, has he
uncovered valuable new evidence?
1571
01:37:53,570 --> 01:37:58,408
Or is he merely saving the information
to gain exposure at a national level?
1572
01:37:58,825 --> 01:38:01,745
Mr. Garrison should
have some explanation.
1573
01:38:01,912 --> 01:38:04,039
Did your office plant
that in the paper?!
1574
01:38:04,249 --> 01:38:06,251
- Who is this?
- You know damn well.
1575
01:38:06,417 --> 01:38:08,419
- Dave?
- You got it. Listen.
1576
01:38:08,586 --> 01:38:10,672
You're the only
straight-shooter there.
1577
01:38:10,838 --> 01:38:12,840
I want an answer! Did you plant it?!
1578
01:38:13,007 --> 01:38:16,844
You think we're nuts?
It's been a zoo since that broke.
1579
01:38:17,011 --> 01:38:18,930
Reporters everywhere.
1580
01:38:19,055 --> 01:38:21,766
Somebody planted that fucking story!
1581
01:38:21,933 --> 01:38:25,603
I'm one of fucking Garrison's suspects.
I can't go home!
1582
01:38:25,770 --> 01:38:28,856
The maggots are everywhere!
Do you know what you've done to me?!
1583
01:38:29,023 --> 01:38:30,359
Calm down.
1584
01:38:30,526 --> 01:38:31,527
From here on...
1585
01:38:31,694 --> 01:38:33,779
...I'm a fucking dead man!
1586
01:38:33,946 --> 01:38:37,074
You weren't even
mentioned in the story.
1587
01:38:37,366 --> 01:38:40,536
Meet me in the lobby of the
Fountainbleau in 20 minutes.
1588
01:38:41,078 --> 01:38:45,958
I guarantee the boss'll protect you.
He likes you. He likes your mind.
1589
01:38:50,671 --> 01:38:52,715
I just don't know who to trust anymore.
1590
01:38:53,090 --> 01:38:57,929
I suppose I could use a pot of hot
coffee and a few packs of Luckys.
1591
01:38:58,763 --> 01:39:00,015
Anything new?
1592
01:39:00,432 --> 01:39:02,350
Who are you scared of?
1593
01:39:02,767 --> 01:39:06,104
Everybody. The Agency, mob, Cubans.
1594
01:39:06,354 --> 01:39:08,023
Follow the Cubans.
1595
01:39:08,190 --> 01:39:11,693
Check them out. Here.
In Miami. Dallas.
1596
01:39:12,194 --> 01:39:14,446
Check out Eladio del Valle.
1597
01:39:14,696 --> 01:39:18,033
He was my paymaster when
I flew missions into Cuba.
1598
01:39:18,366 --> 01:39:21,953
You're on the right track.
Don't write this down!
1599
01:39:22,370 --> 01:39:24,707
I ain't cooperating with no one!
1600
01:39:25,124 --> 01:39:28,211
There's a death warrant for me!
Don't you get it?
1601
01:39:28,461 --> 01:39:30,463
Damn! Wait a minute!
1602
01:39:30,630 --> 01:39:33,549
You ain't bugged, are you?
Son-of-a- bitch, Lou!
1603
01:39:33,716 --> 01:39:34,801
Are you?
1604
01:39:35,134 --> 01:39:36,636
I play square. No bugs.
1605
01:39:37,136 --> 01:39:40,973
I'd love you to go on the
record, but I'm in no hurry.
1606
01:39:41,140 --> 01:39:43,142
I haven't slept since that article.
1607
01:39:43,392 --> 01:39:47,396
- Why'd you get me involved?
- Did we involve you? Or did Shaw?
1608
01:39:47,980 --> 01:39:51,068
Cocksucking faggot.
He got me by the balls.
1609
01:39:51,235 --> 01:39:54,154
- What do you mean?
- Photographs, compromising stuff.
1610
01:39:54,655 --> 01:39:55,989
He'll use them too.
1611
01:39:56,156 --> 01:39:57,825
Agency plays for keeps.
1612
01:39:57,991 --> 01:40:01,745
Oswald was in my Civil Air Patrol unit.
I taught him everything.
1613
01:40:01,912 --> 01:40:05,582
He was a wannabe. No one liked him.
1614
01:40:05,999 --> 01:40:07,584
But I treated him good.
1615
01:40:07,751 --> 01:40:10,754
He wanted his kid to
grow up with a chance.
1616
01:40:11,004 --> 01:40:13,173
What's this? What's going on?
1617
01:40:15,093 --> 01:40:16,511
Don't let him in.
1618
01:40:16,678 --> 01:40:18,513
No one's coming in here.
1619
01:40:21,516 --> 01:40:23,351
Black. Give it to me.
1620
01:40:23,518 --> 01:40:26,271
Black. My neck is killing me.
1621
01:40:26,688 --> 01:40:31,109
I've had cancer for years.
Been working with mice to find a cure.
1622
01:40:31,776 --> 01:40:33,194
Did you work for the CIA?
1623
01:40:33,695 --> 01:40:37,365
You sound like it's a remote
experience in ancient history.
1624
01:40:37,532 --> 01:40:39,034
You don't leave the Agency.
1625
01:40:40,452 --> 01:40:43,622
- Once you're in, they got you for life.
- And Shaw?
1626
01:40:44,040 --> 01:40:46,792
Shaw's an untouchable.
Highest clearance.
1627
01:40:47,043 --> 01:40:50,046
Shaw, Oswald, the Cubans, all Agency.
1628
01:40:51,213 --> 01:40:52,048
Ruby?
1629
01:40:56,218 --> 01:40:59,138
Jack was a pimp.
A bagman for the Dallas mob.
1630
01:40:59,472 --> 01:41:01,807
Ran guns to Castro when
he was on our side.
1631
01:41:02,224 --> 01:41:04,810
Castro was almost with us
till we tried to whack him.
1632
01:41:05,144 --> 01:41:06,897
Everybody keeps flipping sides.
1633
01:41:07,064 --> 01:41:08,899
It's fun and games.
1634
01:41:09,066 --> 01:41:12,486
- How do the mob figure in this?
- They're Agency too.
1635
01:41:12,653 --> 01:41:17,157
The CIA and the Mafia worked together
for years trying to whack out the beard.
1636
01:41:17,324 --> 01:41:19,993
There's more to this
than you could dream!
1637
01:41:20,911 --> 01:41:24,247
Check out something called
"Operation Mongoose."
1638
01:41:24,498 --> 01:41:27,918
Government, Pentagon stuff.
They're in charge.
1639
01:41:28,085 --> 01:41:30,837
But who pulls whose chain?
Who knows?
1640
01:41:31,588 --> 01:41:34,592
"Oh, what a deadly web we weave
when we practice to deceive."
1641
01:41:34,759 --> 01:41:36,261
Who killed the President?
1642
01:41:36,427 --> 01:41:40,181
Why don't you fucking stop it? Shit!
1643
01:41:40,431 --> 01:41:43,601
This is too big for you, you know that?
1644
01:41:43,768 --> 01:41:47,689
Who did the President? Fuck!
It's a mystery.
1645
01:41:47,855 --> 01:41:50,775
It's a mystery wrapped in
riddle inside an enigma!
1646
01:41:50,942 --> 01:41:53,945
The shooters don't even know!
Don't you get it?!
1647
01:41:54,112 --> 01:41:57,031
Fuck man! I can't keep
talking like this!
1648
01:41:57,198 --> 01:41:59,201
They'll fucking kill me!
1649
01:41:59,368 --> 01:42:01,370
I'll fucking die!
1650
01:42:05,291 --> 01:42:06,625
Son-of-a-bitch!
1651
01:42:07,293 --> 01:42:08,878
It's all right.
1652
01:42:10,296 --> 01:42:12,381
I don't know what happened.
1653
01:42:12,798 --> 01:42:13,966
Fuck!
1654
01:42:20,639 --> 01:42:23,309
All I wanted in the world...
1655
01:42:25,145 --> 01:42:27,314
...was to be a Catholic priest.
1656
01:42:28,481 --> 01:42:30,150
Live in a monastery.
1657
01:42:30,317 --> 01:42:31,735
Pray. Serve God.
1658
01:42:33,236 --> 01:42:34,404
I had...
1659
01:42:36,907 --> 01:42:39,659
...one terrible fucking weakness.
1660
01:42:40,243 --> 01:42:41,995
And they defrocked me!
1661
01:42:46,249 --> 01:42:48,668
Then I started to lose everything.
1662
01:42:50,253 --> 01:42:52,340
You'll be okay, Dave.
1663
01:42:52,757 --> 01:42:56,177
Just talk to us on record.
We'll protect you.
1664
01:43:02,099 --> 01:43:03,851
They'll get to you too.
1665
01:43:05,102 --> 01:43:06,687
They'll destroy you.
1666
01:43:08,523 --> 01:43:09,774
They're untouchable.
1667
01:43:13,694 --> 01:43:17,282
I'm so fucking exhausted,
I can't see straight.
1668
01:43:31,922 --> 01:43:33,841
Early for Mardi Gras, isn't it?
1669
01:43:34,007 --> 01:43:36,677
"Paris Match," the largest magazine
in France.
1670
01:43:36,844 --> 01:43:39,596
Moscow "Literaturnaya Gazeta."
1671
01:43:39,763 --> 01:43:41,224
Victoria Taylor...
1672
01:43:41,391 --> 01:43:42,726
..."Private Eye."
1673
01:43:42,934 --> 01:43:45,687
You know who shot the President?
Mr. Garrison is too busy.
1674
01:43:45,854 --> 01:43:50,775
They're putting the heat on David Ferrie.
If we wait, he won't hold off.
1675
01:43:53,611 --> 01:43:57,866
He keeps changing his story.
We can't call him to a Grand Jury.
1676
01:43:58,700 --> 01:44:03,538
He'll keep deteriorating. We'll
get more out of him when he cracks.
1677
01:44:03,955 --> 01:44:07,543
If he freezes up, we'll
lose our best shot.
1678
01:44:07,710 --> 01:44:12,131
He can't go down further.
We must protect him full time.
1679
01:44:13,299 --> 01:44:15,801
I know what you're going
through with Ferrie.
1680
01:44:16,135 --> 01:44:20,973
We'll talk tomorrow. I have to
catch a plane to Washington.
1681
01:44:22,308 --> 01:44:26,062
Lead says he's closely
connected to these events...
1682
01:44:26,312 --> 01:44:27,646
...but he won't come here.
1683
01:44:27,813 --> 01:44:30,900
I'm onto Ferrie's Cuban
paymaster, Eladio del Valle.
1684
01:44:31,150 --> 01:44:33,987
I need more men. I got to get him in.
1685
01:44:34,154 --> 01:44:37,491
I can't pull the teams watching Ferrie.
I promised him!
1686
01:44:37,658 --> 01:44:39,660
This is our case!
1687
01:44:42,579 --> 01:44:44,581
I got something to show you.
1688
01:44:44,748 --> 01:44:47,918
I think you'll find it interesting.
1689
01:44:50,253 --> 01:44:51,922
This was found in your office.
1690
01:44:52,089 --> 01:44:56,927
The conference room is bugged, maybe
the phones. We have to debug the place.
1691
01:44:57,094 --> 01:45:00,181
Bugging the DA's office.
This is outrageous!
1692
01:45:00,431 --> 01:45:03,184
Believe what you want, but
we must be more careful.
1693
01:45:03,351 --> 01:45:05,937
All these new volunteers!
1694
01:45:06,688 --> 01:45:10,692
You handle it, okay? I don't
have time for this nonsense.
1695
01:45:12,694 --> 01:45:16,781
Well, we obviously got
the bastards worried now.
1696
01:45:18,866 --> 01:45:21,202
I'm coming to Washington!
1697
01:45:26,458 --> 01:45:28,377
Dave Ferrie's dead.
1698
01:45:28,878 --> 01:45:32,298
Found his body at the
apartment two hours ago.
1699
01:45:56,907 --> 01:45:58,158
What's it look like?
1700
01:45:58,325 --> 01:46:03,079
I don't see any violence. Heart attack,
maybe an aneurysm. Natural causes.
1701
01:46:03,246 --> 01:46:06,082
This is addressed to no
one and no signature.
1702
01:46:06,333 --> 01:46:09,252
"To leave this life is
for me a sweet prospect.
1703
01:46:09,419 --> 01:46:11,671
I find nothing in it that is desirable...
1704
01:46:11,838 --> 01:46:14,925
...and, on the other hand,
everything that is loathsome."
1705
01:46:15,175 --> 01:46:16,927
It goes on and on.
1706
01:46:17,177 --> 01:46:21,849
"Daily we are propagandized more
and more by the rising crime wave."
1707
01:46:22,183 --> 01:46:24,685
Seems pretty flowery
for Dave Ferrie.
1708
01:46:45,541 --> 01:46:46,417
Proloid.
1709
01:46:48,877 --> 01:46:52,464
I took it once for a
low thyroid condition.
1710
01:46:52,798 --> 01:46:54,883
It raises the metabolism.
1711
01:46:56,301 --> 01:46:59,721
Ferrie strike you as the kind of
person with a low metabolism?
1712
01:46:59,888 --> 01:47:03,225
Hardly, I'd say the opposite.
Maybe hypertension.
1713
01:47:03,892 --> 01:47:08,730
Ferrie was the only one to express any
kind of remorse about the whole thing.
1714
01:47:10,400 --> 01:47:12,152
I think it got him killed.
1715
01:47:14,070 --> 01:47:15,822
More bad news from Miami.
1716
01:47:15,989 --> 01:47:18,658
Ferrie's friend, Eladio del Valle,
was found...
1717
01:47:18,908 --> 01:47:21,828
...hacked to death with a machete today.
1718
01:47:21,995 --> 01:47:26,916
He was tortured, shot point-blank in the
heart, his skull split open with an ax.
1719
01:47:27,584 --> 01:47:29,419
Ain't that the devil's piss!
1720
01:47:29,586 --> 01:47:32,839
Found another note. Same thing.
No name. No signature.
1721
01:47:33,089 --> 01:47:37,595
"When you receive this, I will be
quite dead, so no answer is possible.
1722
01:47:37,762 --> 01:47:42,516
- I offered you love; I got kicked."
- Must've pressed to come up with that.
1723
01:47:44,685 --> 01:47:49,357
What if a man with hypertension were
to take an entire bottle of Proloid?
1724
01:47:49,857 --> 01:47:54,528
He'd die quickly. A heart storm or
a ruptured blood vessel in the brain.
1725
01:47:55,196 --> 01:47:58,199
Can you ascertain if there's
Proloid in his system?
1726
01:47:58,366 --> 01:48:00,117
Not with a routine autopsy.
1727
01:48:00,284 --> 01:48:03,789
But there may be a high level
of iodine in the spinal fluid.
1728
01:48:03,956 --> 01:48:06,959
But it's difficult to know.
What's your thinking?
1729
01:48:08,536 --> 01:48:12,040
It doesn't make sense.
Would a man afraid of dying...
1730
01:48:12,206 --> 01:48:15,043
...kill himself in a way
that leaves no trace?
1731
01:48:16,461 --> 01:48:19,297
And leave two unsigned suicide notes?
1732
01:48:19,547 --> 01:48:22,550
If it's a suicide, I've seen weirder.
1733
01:48:23,134 --> 01:48:26,220
The fact is, he's gone.
And so is our case.
1734
01:48:26,387 --> 01:48:28,224
Unless we go for Shaw now.
1735
01:48:28,390 --> 01:48:31,727
With whose testimony?
O'Keefe, a male prostitute?
1736
01:48:31,977 --> 01:48:34,980
Jack Martin, a drunk?
Vernon Bundy, a dope fiend?
1737
01:48:35,147 --> 01:48:39,151
Shaw's got respect. Newspaper
editors, American Bar Association.
1738
01:48:39,318 --> 01:48:42,905
- I agree. We don't have the goods.
- We wait, Shaw will get whacked!
1739
01:48:43,072 --> 01:48:46,242
How many corpses do you need
to figure out what's going on?
1740
01:48:46,408 --> 01:48:48,994
Watch your mouth!
Ferrie did this himself.
1741
01:48:49,411 --> 01:48:50,829
Where're you going?
1742
01:48:50,996 --> 01:48:52,331
I don't know.
1743
01:48:52,748 --> 01:48:54,501
I just don't know.
1744
01:48:59,714 --> 01:49:01,883
Frank, you're wasting your time here.
1745
01:49:02,050 --> 01:49:04,719
Big Jim gave strict orders.
No FBI.
1746
01:49:04,886 --> 01:49:05,971
It's you I want.
1747
01:49:06,429 --> 01:49:09,099
Boss'd fry me in hog
fat if I talk to you.
1748
01:49:09,266 --> 01:49:11,726
Boss got a problem. Real serious.
1749
01:49:11,893 --> 01:49:13,728
We know what's going on.
1750
01:49:13,895 --> 01:49:15,105
Guess you do.
1751
01:49:15,272 --> 01:49:19,276
You got nothing. I'm a friend.
You're riding on the Titanic.
1752
01:49:19,442 --> 01:49:22,405
Time to jump off before
you too get destroyed.
1753
01:49:22,613 --> 01:49:23,739
Enough!
1754
01:49:23,948 --> 01:49:27,076
We're talking about your career.
You're young.
1755
01:49:27,910 --> 01:49:29,287
You're on the Castro thing.
1756
01:49:29,745 --> 01:49:31,414
- No, I'm not.
- You are.
1757
01:49:31,581 --> 01:49:35,126
We know Oswald didn't pull
that trigger. Castro did.
1758
01:49:35,585 --> 01:49:37,295
If it comes out, it's war.
1759
01:49:37,462 --> 01:49:41,924
Millions of people will die.
That's more important than Jim Garrison.
1760
01:49:42,300 --> 01:49:45,428
Look at me when I talk to you!
You're too selfish!
1761
01:49:45,595 --> 01:49:47,055
Shut up!
1762
01:49:47,306 --> 01:49:52,102
If you got a brain in your thick skull,
listen to me. Listen real hard.
1763
01:49:53,020 --> 01:49:54,146
Get in the car.
1764
01:50:16,002 --> 01:50:17,295
Garrison?
1765
01:50:20,673 --> 01:50:22,008
Glad you came.
1766
01:50:22,342 --> 01:50:24,135
Sorry about the precautions.
1767
01:50:24,302 --> 01:50:27,138
I just hope it was
worth my while, Mr...?
1768
01:50:28,014 --> 01:50:32,143
I could give you a false name,
but I won't. Call me "X".
1769
01:50:33,311 --> 01:50:38,149
I've already been warned by the Agency,
so if this is another threat.
1770
01:50:38,317 --> 01:50:40,861
I'm not with the Agency, Mr. Garrison.
1771
01:50:41,529 --> 01:50:45,533
If you've come this far, what
I have to say interests you.
1772
01:50:45,700 --> 01:50:49,161
I won't name names or
tell you who I represent.
1773
01:50:49,704 --> 01:50:51,497
Except to say you're close.
1774
01:50:52,707 --> 01:50:54,375
Closer than you think.
1775
01:50:58,004 --> 01:51:01,340
Everything I'll say is
classified top secret.
1776
01:51:01,882 --> 01:51:05,178
I was a soldier, Mr. Garrison.
Two wars.
1777
01:51:05,679 --> 01:51:09,391
A secret Pentagon guy,
supplying the hardware.
1778
01:51:09,641 --> 01:51:11,727
Planes, bullets, rifles...
1779
01:51:11,935 --> 01:51:14,396
...for what we call Black Operations.
1780
01:51:14,563 --> 01:51:17,357
Black Ops. Assassinations.
Coups d'etat...
1781
01:51:17,524 --> 01:51:20,402
...rigging elections,
propaganda, psych warfare.
1782
01:51:21,403 --> 01:51:25,032
In World War II, I was in
Rumania, Greece, Yugoslavia.
1783
01:51:25,407 --> 01:51:29,870
I helped evacuate part of Nazi
intelligence at the end of the war.
1784
01:51:30,329 --> 01:51:32,707
And we used those guys
against the Communists.
1785
01:51:32,874 --> 01:51:35,251
In Italy, '48, we stole the elections.
1786
01:51:35,418 --> 01:51:37,879
France '49, we broke the strikes.
1787
01:51:38,671 --> 01:51:41,257
Overthrew Quirino in the Philippines.
Arbenz in Guatemala.
1788
01:51:41,424 --> 01:51:44,552
Mossadegh in Iran. Vietnam in '54.
1789
01:51:44,761 --> 01:51:47,013
Indonesia, '58. Tibet, '59.
1790
01:51:47,639 --> 01:51:51,643
Got the Dalai Lama out.
We were good.
1791
01:51:52,185 --> 01:51:53,478
Very good.
1792
01:51:54,479 --> 01:51:57,316
Then we got into the Cuban thing.
1793
01:51:57,483 --> 01:52:00,986
Set up an invasion to take
place in October, '62.
1794
01:52:01,237 --> 01:52:04,406
Khrushchev sent missiles to resist.
Kennedy didn't invade.
1795
01:52:05,241 --> 01:52:07,826
We just had our dicks in the wind.
1796
01:52:07,993 --> 01:52:10,996
A lot of pissed-off people, Mr. Garrison.
1797
01:52:11,205 --> 01:52:12,331
Understand?
1798
01:52:12,665 --> 01:52:14,333
I'll come to that later.
1799
01:52:15,000 --> 01:52:16,835
So, 1963...
1800
01:52:17,753 --> 01:52:20,673
I spent much of September of '63...
1801
01:52:20,839 --> 01:52:24,094
...working on the Kennedy plan
to get all U.S. personnel...
1802
01:52:24,261 --> 01:52:27,222
...out of Vietnam by the end of 1965.
1803
01:52:27,347 --> 01:52:31,434
One of the strongest plans issued
by the Kennedy White House...
1804
01:52:31,852 --> 01:52:34,229
...National Security memo 263...
1805
01:52:34,354 --> 01:52:36,773
...ordered home the first 1,000 troops.
1806
01:52:37,524 --> 01:52:41,945
But in November, a week after the
murder of Vietnamese President Diem...
1807
01:52:42,154 --> 01:52:44,698
...and 2 weeks before
Kennedy's assassination.
1808
01:52:44,865 --> 01:52:47,284
...a strange thing happened to me.
1809
01:52:49,537 --> 01:52:51,456
Is Dave in there?
1810
01:52:56,252 --> 01:52:58,546
You wanted to see me, General?
1811
01:52:58,713 --> 01:53:00,173
I do, indeed.
1812
01:53:00,548 --> 01:53:02,258
You're going to the South Pole.
1813
01:53:02,884 --> 01:53:04,051
I am?
1814
01:53:04,302 --> 01:53:06,304
Dr. Mooney's got the details.
1815
01:53:06,471 --> 01:53:09,724
Check with him. Have a nice vacation.
1816
01:53:10,057 --> 01:53:13,311
I was sent by my superior,
we'll call him "Y"...
1817
01:53:13,478 --> 01:53:16,148
...l was sent by General Y
to the South Pole...
1818
01:53:16,815 --> 01:53:20,652
...as military escort for a
group of international VIPs.
1819
01:53:21,195 --> 01:53:24,364
I was on my way back, in New Zealand...
1820
01:53:25,199 --> 01:53:26,617
...when the President was killed.
1821
01:53:29,536 --> 01:53:32,039
Oswald was charged at 7 p.m.,
Dallas time...
1822
01:53:32,372 --> 01:53:33,832
...with Tippit's murder.
1823
01:53:33,999 --> 01:53:37,461
That's 2 p.m. the next day
in New Zealand.
1824
01:53:37,669 --> 01:53:40,840
But already their papers
had the entire history...
1825
01:53:41,007 --> 01:53:43,676
...of this unknown, 24-year-old Oswald.
1826
01:53:43,718 --> 01:53:47,013
Studio picture, detailed biography,
Russian information...
1827
01:53:47,180 --> 01:53:50,058
...and were sure he killed
the President alone...
1828
01:53:50,225 --> 01:53:54,854
...although it took them 4 more hours to
charge him with that crime in Dallas.
1829
01:53:57,023 --> 01:53:58,692
It felt to me as if...
1830
01:53:59,859 --> 01:54:01,903
...a cover story was being put out.
1831
01:54:02,153 --> 01:54:03,655
Like we would in Black Op.
1832
01:54:06,157 --> 01:54:07,243
After I came back...
1833
01:54:07,743 --> 01:54:11,539
...l asked myself, why was l,
the chief of Special Ops...
1834
01:54:11,706 --> 01:54:14,667
...sent to the South Pole to do a job...
1835
01:54:14,875 --> 01:54:16,544
...many others could have done?
1836
01:54:16,711 --> 01:54:18,546
I wonder if it could've been because...
1837
01:54:18,713 --> 01:54:21,549
...one of my routine duties,
if I'd been in Washington...
1838
01:54:21,716 --> 01:54:24,552
...would've been to order
additional security in Texas.
1839
01:54:24,719 --> 01:54:28,264
I checked it out and
found that someone...
1840
01:54:28,431 --> 01:54:33,228
...told the 112th Military Intelligence
Group at Fort Sam Houston...
1841
01:54:33,395 --> 01:54:37,274
...to stand down that day, over
the protests of Colonel Reich.
1842
01:54:37,941 --> 01:54:39,901
I believe it's a mistake.
1843
01:54:40,068 --> 01:54:44,906
It's standard procedure, especially in
a known hostile city like Dallas...
1844
01:54:45,782 --> 01:54:47,409
...to supplement the Secret Service.
1845
01:54:47,618 --> 01:54:51,413
Even if we let him ride
with bubble- top on...
1846
01:54:51,580 --> 01:54:55,334
...we would've put one to two
hundred agents on the sidewalk.
1847
01:54:55,959 --> 01:55:00,256
A month before, in Dallas, Ambassador
Adlai Stevenson was spit on and hit.
1848
01:55:00,423 --> 01:55:03,259
There had been attempts
on De Gaulle's life.
1849
01:55:03,426 --> 01:55:06,262
We'd have arrived early,
studied the route...
1850
01:55:06,429 --> 01:55:07,889
...checked all the buildings.
1851
01:55:08,139 --> 01:55:10,975
We'd never allow open
windows on Dealey. Never!
1852
01:55:11,267 --> 01:55:13,227
Our own snipers would cover the area.
1853
01:55:13,436 --> 01:55:15,605
A window goes up, they're on the radio!
1854
01:55:15,772 --> 01:55:19,108
We'd watch the crowd. Packages,
rolled-up newspapers, coats.
1855
01:55:19,275 --> 01:55:21,611
Never let a man open an umbrella.
1856
01:55:21,778 --> 01:55:24,614
Never let that limousine slow
down to 10 miles an hour.
1857
01:55:24,781 --> 01:55:27,493
Or take that unusual
curve at Houston and Elm.
1858
01:55:28,118 --> 01:55:31,455
You'd have felt an Army presence
in the streets that day.
1859
01:55:31,622 --> 01:55:36,460
But none of this happened. It violated
our most basic protection codes.
1860
01:55:36,669 --> 01:55:40,673
And it is the best indication
of a massive plot in Dallas.
1861
01:55:41,799 --> 01:55:43,842
Who could have best done this?
1862
01:55:44,009 --> 01:55:46,178
Black Ops. People in the business.
1863
01:55:46,345 --> 01:55:49,473
My superior could've called
Col. Reich and said:
1864
01:55:49,640 --> 01:55:54,020
"We have another unit coming for
security. You'll stand down."
1865
01:55:54,187 --> 01:55:57,649
That day, some Army Intelligence
people were in Dallas.
1866
01:55:57,816 --> 01:55:59,484
I don't know who or why.
1867
01:55:59,818 --> 01:56:01,862
But they weren't protecting clients.
1868
01:56:02,028 --> 01:56:06,199
And Oswald. Army Intel had
a Lee Harvey Oswald on file.
1869
01:56:06,700 --> 01:56:09,035
Those files have been destroyed.
1870
01:56:09,202 --> 01:56:11,538
Many strange things were happening.
1871
01:56:11,788 --> 01:56:14,040
Oswald had nothing to do with them.
1872
01:56:15,667 --> 01:56:18,129
The entire Cabinet was in the Far East.
1873
01:56:18,337 --> 01:56:21,299
A third of a combat division
was returning from Germany...
1874
01:56:21,507 --> 01:56:24,886
...in the air above the United States,
at the time of the shooting.
1875
01:56:25,219 --> 01:56:29,891
At 12:34 p.m., the Washington
telephone system went out for an hour.
1876
01:56:31,517 --> 01:56:32,852
On the plane back to Washington...
1877
01:56:33,060 --> 01:56:35,521
...word was radioed from
the Situations Room...
1878
01:56:35,688 --> 01:56:38,399
...to Johnson that there
was only one assassin.
1879
01:56:38,566 --> 01:56:41,235
Sound like coincidences to you?
1880
01:56:41,694 --> 01:56:43,070
Not for one moment.
1881
01:56:43,864 --> 01:56:46,533
The Cabinet was out of the way.
1882
01:56:47,367 --> 01:56:49,828
Troops for riot control were in the air.
1883
01:56:50,037 --> 01:56:53,415
Telephones were out to stop the
wrong stories from spreading.
1884
01:56:53,582 --> 01:56:55,250
Nothing was left to chance.
1885
01:56:55,417 --> 01:56:58,587
He could not be allowed to escape alive.
1886
01:57:01,757 --> 01:57:03,926
Things were never the same after that.
1887
01:57:05,219 --> 01:57:07,930
Vietnam started for real.
There was an air of...
1888
01:57:09,264 --> 01:57:11,434
...make-believe in the Pentagon and CIA.
1889
01:57:11,601 --> 01:57:15,939
Those of us in Secret Ops knew
the Warren Commission was fiction.
1890
01:57:16,439 --> 01:57:18,233
But there was something...
1891
01:57:18,733 --> 01:57:20,068
...deeper.
1892
01:57:20,235 --> 01:57:21,277
Uglier.
1893
01:57:21,444 --> 01:57:24,739
I knew Allen Dulles well.
I often briefed him in his house.
1894
01:57:24,948 --> 01:57:29,786
But why was he appointed to investigate
Kennedy's death? The man who fired him.
1895
01:57:30,578 --> 01:57:34,249
Dulles, by the way, was
General Y's benefactor.
1896
01:57:35,960 --> 01:57:37,962
I got out in '64.
1897
01:57:38,462 --> 01:57:39,922
Resigned my commission.
1898
01:57:41,799 --> 01:57:45,928
I never realized Kennedy was so
dangerous to the establishment.
1899
01:57:46,470 --> 01:57:47,972
Is that why?
1900
01:57:48,639 --> 01:57:51,308
That's the real question, isn't it?
Why?
1901
01:57:51,600 --> 01:57:55,563
The how and the who is just
scenery for the public.
1902
01:57:55,938 --> 01:57:59,108
Oswald, Ruby, Cuba, the Mafia...
1903
01:57:59,317 --> 01:58:01,277
...keeps them guessing, like a game.
1904
01:58:01,444 --> 01:58:04,406
Prevents them from asking
the most important question:
1905
01:58:04,656 --> 01:58:07,784
Why was Kennedy killed?
Who benefited?
1906
01:58:08,160 --> 01:58:11,330
Who has the power to cover it up?
Who?
1907
01:58:14,916 --> 01:58:16,251
In 1961 ...
1908
01:58:17,836 --> 01:58:21,423
...right after the Bay of Pigs,
very few people know this...
1909
01:58:22,007 --> 01:58:26,803
...l participated in drawing up
National Security Memo 55, 56, 57.
1910
01:58:27,095 --> 01:58:29,933
These are documents
classified top secret.
1911
01:58:30,183 --> 01:58:34,103
In them, Kennedy told Gen. Lemnitzer,
chairman of the Joint Chiefs...
1912
01:58:34,270 --> 01:58:38,316
...that from here on, the Joint Chiefs
would be wholly responsible...
1913
01:58:38,524 --> 01:58:41,277
...for all covert paramilitary
action in peacetime.
1914
01:58:42,528 --> 01:58:44,113
This ended the reign of the CIA.
1915
01:58:44,697 --> 01:58:48,159
"Splintered it into 1,000 pieces,"
as JFK promised he would.
1916
01:58:48,451 --> 01:58:50,495
And now he was ordering the military...
1917
01:58:50,787 --> 01:58:52,956
...to help him do it. Unprecedented!
1918
01:58:53,206 --> 01:58:57,962
I can't tell you the shock waves
this sent along the corridors of power.
1919
01:58:58,128 --> 01:59:00,130
This and the firing of Allen Dulles...
1920
01:59:00,297 --> 01:59:01,966
...Richard Bissell and
Gen. Charles Cabell.
1921
01:59:02,633 --> 01:59:06,178
All were sacred cows in Intel
since World War II.
1922
01:59:06,387 --> 01:59:08,514
They got some very upset people.
1923
01:59:09,640 --> 01:59:12,643
Kennedy's directives weren't
implemented because of...
1924
01:59:12,810 --> 01:59:14,979
...bureaucratic resistance.
1925
01:59:15,729 --> 01:59:17,815
But one of the results was...
1926
01:59:18,065 --> 01:59:21,987
...the Cuban operation was
turned over to my department...
1927
01:59:22,237 --> 01:59:24,489
...as Operation Mongoose.
1928
01:59:24,823 --> 01:59:27,200
Mongoose was pure Black Ops.
1929
01:59:27,492 --> 01:59:30,704
It was secretly based
at Miami University...
1930
01:59:30,996 --> 01:59:33,915
...which has the largest
domestic CIA station...
1931
01:59:34,166 --> 01:59:36,877
...budgeted annually for
hundreds of millions.
1932
01:59:37,169 --> 01:59:40,338
300 agents, 7,000 select Cubans.
1933
01:59:40,672 --> 01:59:43,341
50 fake business
fronts to launder money.
1934
01:59:43,550 --> 01:59:46,721
They waged non-stop war against Castro.
1935
01:59:46,929 --> 01:59:49,182
Industrial sabotage, crop burning, etc.
1936
01:59:49,348 --> 01:59:52,018
All under General Y.
1937
01:59:52,268 --> 01:59:54,896
He took the rules of covert
warfare he'd used abroad...
1938
01:59:55,104 --> 01:59:56,856
...and brought them to this country.
1939
01:59:57,023 --> 01:59:59,442
Now he had people, equipment, bases.
1940
01:59:59,859 --> 02:00:00,860
The motivation.
1941
02:00:01,611 --> 02:00:06,199
Don't underestimate the budget cuts that
Kennedy called for in March of 1963.
1942
02:00:06,449 --> 02:00:09,368
Nearly 52 military
installations in 25 states.
1943
02:00:09,619 --> 02:00:11,579
21 overseas bases.
1944
02:00:11,788 --> 02:00:13,207
Big money.
1945
02:00:13,373 --> 02:00:16,710
You know how many helicopters
have been lost in Vietnam?
1946
02:00:17,628 --> 02:00:19,922
Nearly 3,000 so far.
1947
02:00:20,380 --> 02:00:23,717
Who makes them?
Bell Helicopter, who owns Bell?
1948
02:00:23,884 --> 02:00:27,596
Bell was near-bankrupt when 1st National
Bank of Boston asked the CIA...
1949
02:00:27,805 --> 02:00:31,892
...to use the helicopter in Indochina.
How about the F-111 fighter?
1950
02:00:32,309 --> 02:00:35,437
General Dynamics of Fort Worth, Texas.
Who owns that?
1951
02:00:35,646 --> 02:00:40,402
Find out the defense budget since the
war began. 75 going on 100 billion.
1952
02:00:40,568 --> 02:00:43,405
200 billion will be spent
before it's over.
1953
02:00:43,988 --> 02:00:45,949
In 1949, it was 10 billion.
1954
02:00:46,157 --> 02:00:48,410
No war...no money.
1955
02:00:48,910 --> 02:00:52,747
The organizing principle of
any society, Mr. Garrison...
1956
02:00:52,914 --> 02:00:54,416
...is for war.
1957
02:00:54,582 --> 02:00:58,586
The authority of the state over its
people resides in its war powers.
1958
02:00:58,920 --> 02:01:01,965
Kennedy wanted to end the
Cold War in his second term.
1959
02:01:02,173 --> 02:01:05,636
He wanted to call off the moon race
and cooperate with the Soviets.
1960
02:01:05,761 --> 02:01:08,305
He signed a treaty to
ban nuclear testing.
1961
02:01:08,514 --> 02:01:11,100
He refused to invade Cuba in 1962.
1962
02:01:11,267 --> 02:01:13,936
He set out to withdraw from Vietnam.
1963
02:01:15,104 --> 02:01:18,941
But all that ended on the
22nd of November, 1963.
1964
02:01:19,775 --> 02:01:24,322
Since 1961, they knew Kennedy was
not going to war in Southeast Asia.
1965
02:01:24,613 --> 02:01:27,158
Like Caesar, he is
surrounded by enemies.
1966
02:01:27,283 --> 02:01:31,788
Something's underway, but it has no face.
Yet, everybody in the loop knows.
1967
02:01:31,955 --> 02:01:33,498
Forget about combat troops.
1968
02:01:33,707 --> 02:01:38,128
He told McNamara he would pull
out the goddamn advisors!
1969
02:01:38,545 --> 02:01:43,133
He fucked us in Laos and now
he will fuck us in Vietnam!
1970
02:01:43,300 --> 02:01:46,345
He can't afford to implement
it before the election.
1971
02:01:46,637 --> 02:01:48,972
I hear the NSC meeting
was a real barn burner.
1972
02:01:49,139 --> 02:01:53,810
I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
Heads will roll. Hear about Lemnitzer?
1973
02:01:54,019 --> 02:01:54,853
What?
1974
02:01:55,062 --> 02:01:57,482
Kennedy rubbed Lem's nose in shit.
1975
02:01:57,649 --> 02:02:00,360
Said if we didn't go into
Cuba which was so close...
1976
02:02:00,568 --> 02:02:03,321
...why go into Vietnam
which is so far away?
1977
02:02:03,571 --> 02:02:04,864
There he goes again.
1978
02:02:05,073 --> 02:02:07,200
Got his hand on the chicken switch.
1979
02:02:07,408 --> 02:02:10,536
Lem said that Chiefs still
think we should go into Cuba.
1980
02:02:10,745 --> 02:02:12,205
Money's at stake.
1981
02:02:12,413 --> 02:02:15,041
Big money. A hundred billion dollars.
1982
02:02:15,500 --> 02:02:18,336
Kennedy bred voting districts
for defense dollars.
1983
02:02:18,670 --> 02:02:23,092
He gave TFX fighter contracts only to
those countries that will matter in '64.
1984
02:02:23,259 --> 02:02:26,011
The people in the loop fight back.
Their way.
1985
02:02:26,595 --> 02:02:28,722
We have to control
intelligence from Saigon.
1986
02:02:28,931 --> 02:02:32,893
We just don't let McNamara
stick his nose in this thing!
1987
02:02:33,185 --> 02:02:37,106
Every time he goes over to Saigon
for a fact-finding mission...
1988
02:02:37,273 --> 02:02:40,234
...he comes back and scares
the shit out of Kennedy!
1989
02:02:40,526 --> 02:02:42,361
Now I want Max Taylor on him
night and day...
1990
02:02:42,862 --> 02:02:44,864
...like a fly on shit.
1991
02:02:45,531 --> 02:02:48,869
You control McNamara,
you control Kennedy.
1992
02:02:49,703 --> 02:02:51,204
I think it started like that.
1993
02:02:51,621 --> 02:02:53,039
In the wind.
1994
02:02:53,206 --> 02:02:57,127
Defense contractors, oil bankers.
Just conversation.
1995
02:02:57,294 --> 02:03:01,047
A call is made. Maybe to someone
like my superior officer, General Y.
1996
02:03:02,382 --> 02:03:04,885
We're going. We need your help.
1997
02:03:05,135 --> 02:03:06,219
When?
1998
02:03:06,720 --> 02:03:09,556
In the fall. Probably in the South.
1999
02:03:09,723 --> 02:03:12,601
- We want you to come up with a plan.
- I can do that.
2000
02:03:12,767 --> 02:03:14,561
It is cellularized.
2001
02:03:14,729 --> 02:03:18,274
No one said, "He must die." No vote.
Nothing on paper.
2002
02:03:18,649 --> 02:03:20,234
There's no one to blame.
2003
02:03:20,818 --> 02:03:23,070
It's as old as the crucifixion.
2004
02:03:23,237 --> 02:03:25,239
Or the military firing squad.
2005
02:03:25,406 --> 02:03:29,076
5 bullets, 1 blank.
No one's guilty.
2006
02:03:29,243 --> 02:03:30,953
Everybody in the power structure...
2007
02:03:31,162 --> 02:03:33,623
...has a plausible deniability.
2008
02:03:33,790 --> 02:03:37,418
No compromising connections
except at the most secret point.
2009
02:03:37,919 --> 02:03:40,296
But it must succeed.
2010
02:03:40,505 --> 02:03:43,133
No matter how many die
or how much it costs...
2011
02:03:43,300 --> 02:03:46,136
...the perpetrators must
be on the winning side...
2012
02:03:46,345 --> 02:03:50,265
...and never subject to prosecution
for anything by anyone.
2013
02:03:50,432 --> 02:03:52,351
That is a coup d'etat.
2014
02:03:56,188 --> 02:03:59,274
Kennedy announces the
Texas trip in September.
2015
02:03:59,441 --> 02:04:03,153
At that moment, second Oswalds
pop up all over Dallas.
2016
02:04:03,362 --> 02:04:04,988
They have the mayor and
the cops in their pocket.
2017
02:04:05,781 --> 02:04:07,992
General Y flies in the assassins.
2018
02:04:08,201 --> 02:04:11,955
Maybe from the special camp
we keep near Athens, Greece.
2019
02:04:12,122 --> 02:04:12,831
Pros.
2020
02:04:13,206 --> 02:04:16,835
They'd be locals, Cubans,
Mafia hire. Separate teams.
2021
02:04:17,127 --> 02:04:18,795
Does it matter who shot...
2022
02:04:19,546 --> 02:04:21,172
...from what rooftop?
2023
02:04:22,549 --> 02:04:24,175
Part of the scenery.
2024
02:04:24,801 --> 02:04:27,303
I keep thinking about that Tuesday...
2025
02:04:27,554 --> 02:04:28,972
...the 26th of November.
2026
02:04:29,139 --> 02:04:30,640
The day after they buried Kennedy.
2027
02:04:30,974 --> 02:04:35,312
Gentlemen, I am not going to
let Vietnam go like China did.
2028
02:04:35,479 --> 02:04:36,856
I'm committed...
2029
02:04:37,314 --> 02:04:41,861
...not to take our soldiers out of there
till they know we mean business in Asia.
2030
02:04:42,069 --> 02:04:45,489
Lyndon Johnson signs National
Security Memo 273...
2031
02:04:45,656 --> 02:04:48,492
...which reverses Kennedy's
withdrawal policy...
2032
02:04:48,659 --> 02:04:51,370
...and approves covert action
against North Vietnam...
2033
02:04:51,579 --> 02:04:53,706
...provoking the Gulf of Tonkin incident.
2034
02:04:53,914 --> 02:04:57,168
Just get me elected, I'll
give you the damn war.
2035
02:04:58,419 --> 02:05:00,172
In that document...
2036
02:05:01,173 --> 02:05:02,841
...lay the Vietnam War.
2037
02:05:08,430 --> 02:05:12,059
I can't believe they killed him
because he wanted to change things.
2038
02:05:13,435 --> 02:05:16,730
- In our time in our country!
- They have throughout history.
2039
02:05:16,938 --> 02:05:20,734
Kings are killed. Politics is power,
nothing more!
2040
02:05:21,360 --> 02:05:25,198
Don't take my word for it.
Do your own thinking.
2041
02:05:27,283 --> 02:05:28,868
The size of this is...
2042
02:05:29,702 --> 02:05:31,037
...beyond me.
2043
02:05:31,788 --> 02:05:33,206
Testify.
2044
02:05:33,373 --> 02:05:34,916
- Me?
- Testify.
2045
02:05:36,042 --> 02:05:37,585
No chance in hell.
2046
02:05:38,378 --> 02:05:42,715
No, I'd be arrested and gagged.
Maybe sent to an institution.
2047
02:05:42,882 --> 02:05:44,259
Maybe worse. You too.
2048
02:05:45,051 --> 02:05:49,055
I can give you the background. You
find the foreground, the little things.
2049
02:05:49,305 --> 02:05:52,935
Dig, you're the only one to bring
a trail in Kennedy's murder.
2050
02:05:53,227 --> 02:05:55,563
That's important. It's historic.
2051
02:05:56,230 --> 02:05:57,731
I haven't yet.
2052
02:05:58,482 --> 02:06:00,901
I don't have much of a case.
2053
02:06:01,819 --> 02:06:03,779
You don't have a choice anymore.
2054
02:06:04,154 --> 02:06:07,783
You're a significant threat to
the national security structure.
2055
02:06:08,242 --> 02:06:11,120
They'd have killed you already,
but there's light on you.
2056
02:06:11,328 --> 02:06:13,414
So they'll destroy your credibility.
2057
02:06:13,581 --> 02:06:15,583
They already have in many circles.
2058
02:06:16,083 --> 02:06:17,294
Be honest.
2059
02:06:17,669 --> 02:06:22,424
Your only chance is to come up with
a case. Something. Anything.
2060
02:06:22,674 --> 02:06:25,427
Make arrests. Stir the shitstorm.
2061
02:06:25,760 --> 02:06:27,596
Hope to start...
2062
02:06:27,762 --> 02:06:30,432
...a chain reaction of
people coming forward.
2063
02:06:30,599 --> 02:06:32,434
The government will crack.
2064
02:06:32,601 --> 02:06:35,812
Fundamentally, people are
suckers for the truth.
2065
02:06:36,021 --> 02:06:38,315
And the truth is on your side, bubba.
2066
02:06:45,615 --> 02:06:47,116
I just hope you get a break.
2067
02:07:32,830 --> 02:07:33,705
Mr. Shaw?
2068
02:07:34,498 --> 02:07:36,334
You are under arrest for conspiracy...
2069
02:07:37,168 --> 02:07:41,506
...and entering into agreement with
others for the purpose of murdering...
2070
02:07:41,673 --> 02:07:43,341
...President John F. Kennedy.
2071
02:07:43,508 --> 02:07:45,885
We have a warrant to
search the premises.
2072
02:07:46,928 --> 02:07:48,388
It's my duty to inform you...
2073
02:07:49,097 --> 02:07:51,683
...you have the right to remain silent.
2074
02:07:51,850 --> 02:07:53,226
Name?
2075
02:07:53,435 --> 02:07:55,061
Clay LaVerne Shaw.
2076
02:07:57,522 --> 02:07:58,565
Address?
2077
02:07:58,773 --> 02:08:01,527
1313 Dauphine Street, New Orleans.
2078
02:08:03,029 --> 02:08:04,947
Ever use any aliases?
2079
02:08:05,197 --> 02:08:06,741
Clay Bertrand.
2080
02:08:13,039 --> 02:08:17,209
Mr. Clark, are you aware of the charges
filed by Attorney General Garrison?
2081
02:08:17,376 --> 02:08:20,463
Yes, Mr. Shaw was included
in our investigation.
2082
02:08:20,963 --> 02:08:23,549
No connection was found at all.
2083
02:08:23,966 --> 02:08:27,553
If the FBI did investigate him,
why is his name not mentioned...
2084
02:08:27,721 --> 02:08:30,223
...in the entire 26 volumes
of the Warren Report...
2085
02:08:30,474 --> 02:08:32,809
...even if it is to clear his name?
2086
02:08:33,393 --> 02:08:37,230
I doubt this Attorney General
would qualify for my staff.
2087
02:08:37,564 --> 02:08:40,567
Mr. Garrison has presented
absolutely nothing publicly...
2088
02:08:41,568 --> 02:08:44,404
...which would contradict our findings.
2089
02:08:44,738 --> 02:08:48,408
I know of no fact which would refute...
2090
02:08:48,575 --> 02:08:50,744
...the Commission's conclusion...
2091
02:08:50,911 --> 02:08:54,249
...that Lee Oswald was the lone killer.
2092
02:08:56,167 --> 02:09:00,004
I congratulate Mr. Shaw.
Most defendants must wait for trial...
2093
02:09:00,171 --> 02:09:03,925
...before they produce sacred
cows like a Chief Justice...
2094
02:09:04,092 --> 02:09:05,593
...as a character witness...
2095
02:09:05,760 --> 02:09:09,097
...who is not under oath and
therefore free from perjury.
2096
02:09:09,264 --> 02:09:11,516
Even if it's partly true...
2097
02:09:11,766 --> 02:09:16,354
...you realize you're damaging
the credibility of the country?
2098
02:09:16,521 --> 02:09:20,442
Is a government worth preserving
when it lies to the people?
2099
02:09:21,527 --> 02:09:23,445
It's become a dangerous country...
2100
02:09:23,612 --> 02:09:27,449
...when you cannot trust anyone.
When you cannot tell the truth.
2101
02:09:28,617 --> 02:09:31,954
I say let justice be done,
though the heavens fall!
2102
02:09:38,043 --> 02:09:41,297
"The JFK Conspiracy:
The Case of Jim Garrison."
2103
02:09:41,964 --> 02:09:45,634
- Honey, this is about you.
- After an investigation in New Orleans...
2104
02:09:45,801 --> 02:09:47,387
...reporters have learned...
2105
02:09:47,554 --> 02:09:50,807
...that District Attorney
Jim Garrison and his staff...
2106
02:09:50,974 --> 02:09:54,978
...have intimidated, bribed
and even drugged witnesses...
2107
02:09:55,145 --> 02:09:59,232
...to attempt to prove a conspiracy
involving businessman Clay Shaw...
2108
02:10:00,233 --> 02:10:02,819
...in the murder of John F. Kennedy.
2109
02:10:03,069 --> 02:10:07,324
John Chancler was a cell mate
of Willie O'Keefe's at Angola.
2110
02:10:07,657 --> 02:10:11,077
He said he'd be cut loose
if he copped to the DA's office.
2111
02:10:11,244 --> 02:10:13,414
I sent him up for burglary.
2112
02:10:14,499 --> 02:10:16,834
And there's his old buddy Miguel Torres.
2113
02:10:17,251 --> 02:10:18,836
We sent him up too.
2114
02:10:19,003 --> 02:10:23,174
They wanted me to say Shaw
was Bertrand. They'd get me a pardon.
2115
02:10:23,424 --> 02:10:26,427
Janet Williams comments
on Willie O'Keefe's...
2116
02:10:26,677 --> 02:10:29,180
...descriptions of having met Oswald.
2117
02:10:29,347 --> 02:10:30,932
Was he a homosexual?
2118
02:10:31,098 --> 02:10:32,850
Not the Lee I knew. Absolutely not.
2119
02:10:33,935 --> 02:10:37,522
Mr. O'Keefe must have seen someone
he thought was Lee Oswald.
2120
02:10:37,688 --> 02:10:41,443
I didn't talk to nobody.
I was on drugs at the hospital.
2121
02:10:41,944 --> 02:10:45,781
I told the FBI that call was
a figment of my imagination.
2122
02:10:45,948 --> 02:10:48,117
I think he's quite ill, mentally.
2123
02:10:48,283 --> 02:10:52,788
With one half of his mind, he is
able to fabricate evidence...
2124
02:10:53,038 --> 02:10:57,376
...then he convinces the other half
that the fabrication is the truth.
2125
02:10:58,210 --> 02:11:02,464
Don't worry. There's only 20 or 30
million people watching this tonight.
2126
02:11:04,551 --> 02:11:08,304
My reputation's all right with
the people watching "Laugh In."
2127
02:11:08,471 --> 02:11:11,307
Has he ignored the Mafia
connections to this conspiracy...
2128
02:11:11,474 --> 02:11:14,060
...because he's indebted to the mob?
2129
02:11:14,227 --> 02:11:17,647
The more one looks at Jim Garrison,
the more one finds...
2130
02:11:17,814 --> 02:11:22,652
...he has destroyed reputations, spread
fear and suspicion, and worst of all...
2131
02:11:22,986 --> 02:11:26,072
...exploited this nation's
sorrow and doubt.
2132
02:11:26,239 --> 02:11:28,241
Jim Garrison has said:
2133
02:11:29,075 --> 02:11:32,663
"Let justice be done,
though the heavens fall."
2134
02:11:32,913 --> 02:11:35,583
He seeks the truth. So do we.
2135
02:11:47,261 --> 02:11:50,931
Dr. Martin Luther King's beautiful
dream expressed so dramatically...
2136
02:11:51,098 --> 02:11:53,768
...during the 1963
march on Washington...
2137
02:11:53,934 --> 02:11:57,272
...was shattered tonight in Memphis,
Tennessee by an assassin's bullet.
2138
02:11:57,439 --> 02:12:00,525
Police think the single shot
came from across the street.
2139
02:12:00,692 --> 02:12:05,280
They found a Browning automatic rifle,
fitted with a marksman's scope.
2140
02:12:06,448 --> 02:12:07,950
I'll get it.
2141
02:12:10,535 --> 02:12:13,455
Hello, is this Jim Garrison's daughter?
2142
02:12:14,206 --> 02:12:16,208
Virginia or Elizabeth?
2143
02:12:17,542 --> 02:12:19,962
Virginia, you're a lucky little girl.
2144
02:12:20,128 --> 02:12:24,467
Your daddy's entered you in a
beauty contest. Like to be in one?
2145
02:12:25,301 --> 02:12:26,552
I don't know.
2146
02:12:26,719 --> 02:12:29,639
My God! What have they done?
2147
02:12:30,390 --> 02:12:31,975
It's lynching time.
2148
02:12:34,560 --> 02:12:36,062
That sounds fun.
2149
02:12:36,813 --> 02:12:38,982
You get out of school at 3:00?
2150
02:12:39,148 --> 02:12:40,650
Who are you talking to?
2151
02:12:40,817 --> 02:12:42,652
That's all I need to know.
2152
02:12:42,819 --> 02:12:45,738
Mommy, I'm going to be
in a beauty contest.
2153
02:12:45,905 --> 02:12:48,576
Who is this? Who is this?
2154
02:12:50,578 --> 02:12:53,330
Did you enter Virginia
in a beauty contest?
2155
02:12:53,497 --> 02:12:56,166
A man called and asked her height,
her weight.
2156
02:12:56,333 --> 02:12:59,420
Some crackpot. Martin
Luther King was killed.
2157
02:12:59,587 --> 02:13:01,171
Her life's been threatened!
2158
02:13:01,338 --> 02:13:04,758
A crank making calls.
Happens 12 times a day at the office.
2159
02:13:04,925 --> 02:13:07,595
Our home! A kidnapper, a murderer!
2160
02:13:07,761 --> 02:13:09,430
Only cowards make crank calls.
2161
02:13:09,597 --> 02:13:11,181
Nothing will happen.
2162
02:13:11,348 --> 02:13:16,021
You don't know what goes on here
anymore! You're busy making speeches!
2163
02:13:16,188 --> 02:13:18,940
Getting every crazed Klansman after us!
2164
02:13:19,191 --> 02:13:23,528
I'm taking the kids and I'm leaving!
I can't stand it anymore!
2165
02:13:23,778 --> 02:13:26,448
- The government wants us scared.
- You and your government!
2166
02:13:26,615 --> 02:13:30,368
They want everybody too scared
to speak out. They count on it.
2167
02:13:30,535 --> 02:13:33,288
- There's nothing to fear!
- Don't you have feelings?
2168
02:13:35,373 --> 02:13:37,125
Your own daughter!
2169
02:13:37,542 --> 02:13:39,628
What kind of a man are you?
2170
02:13:43,049 --> 02:13:47,136
I'll take them to my mother's.
You spend a week.
2171
02:13:47,303 --> 02:13:50,056
I'll change the locks, the phones.
I'll get a bodyguard.
2172
02:13:50,181 --> 02:13:52,225
Get a hold of yourself!
2173
02:13:52,558 --> 02:13:56,395
Before this Kennedy thing,
your children mattered most.
2174
02:13:56,646 --> 02:13:59,565
The other night you didn't
even notice Jasper.
2175
02:13:59,732 --> 02:14:01,734
He came to me bawling his eyes out.
2176
02:14:01,901 --> 02:14:04,987
I promise I'll make
more time for Jasper.
2177
02:14:05,154 --> 02:14:07,074
Is it such a chore?!
2178
02:14:07,241 --> 02:14:11,245
Goddamn it! If I said I'll spend
more time with him, I will!
2179
02:14:11,495 --> 02:14:13,914
I cannot fight you and
the whole world too!
2180
02:14:14,081 --> 02:14:16,834
I'm not fighting you!
I'm trying to reach you.
2181
02:14:17,084 --> 02:14:19,920
- You've changed.
- Of course I've changed!
2182
02:14:20,754 --> 02:14:22,506
My eyes have opened.
2183
02:14:22,756 --> 02:14:25,676
And what once looked
normal seems insane.
2184
02:14:25,843 --> 02:14:29,263
And now King. Don't you think this
has something to do with that?
2185
02:14:29,430 --> 02:14:30,764
Can't you see?
2186
02:14:30,931 --> 02:14:34,936
I don't want to see, goddamn it!
I'm tired. I've had enough!
2187
02:14:35,103 --> 02:14:39,274
You're ruining this man Shaw's
life because he's a homosexual.
2188
02:14:39,524 --> 02:14:41,109
That's not why!
2189
02:14:41,276 --> 02:14:44,446
Did you ever once stop to
consider his feelings?
2190
02:14:46,781 --> 02:14:48,366
You don't believe me?
2191
02:14:48,700 --> 02:14:51,619
- I don't know!
- You never believed me?
2192
02:14:52,620 --> 02:14:56,624
I just want to raise our children
and live a normal life.
2193
02:14:56,791 --> 02:14:58,793
I want my life back!
2194
02:14:59,378 --> 02:15:01,464
So do l, goddamn it!
2195
02:15:01,881 --> 02:15:03,966
I had a life too, you know!
2196
02:15:04,216 --> 02:15:08,054
You can't bury your head in
the sand like an ostrich, Liz!
2197
02:15:08,304 --> 02:15:13,059
It's not about our well-being, our
two cars, our TVs and your kitchen!
2198
02:15:14,727 --> 02:15:18,147
It's about our kids growing up in
a shithole of lies. I'm angry!
2199
02:15:18,314 --> 02:15:20,399
My life is fucked because of it.
2200
02:15:20,566 --> 02:15:23,569
If you could see it that way,
you'd see your life is fucked too.
2201
02:15:23,736 --> 02:15:25,322
You never talked to me this way.
2202
02:15:25,572 --> 02:15:27,658
If you don't want to support me, fine.
2203
02:15:27,824 --> 02:15:30,661
But don't make threats
about taking the children.
2204
02:15:30,827 --> 02:15:32,245
I'm leaving you!
2205
02:15:32,496 --> 02:15:34,915
- I'm taking the children!
- Go on! Get out!
2206
02:15:35,082 --> 02:15:36,583
- I am!
- Go hide!
2207
02:15:36,750 --> 02:15:38,919
Join the rest! They'll say I'm crazy.
2208
02:15:39,086 --> 02:15:41,964
Plenty of people will tell you I'm crazy.
2209
02:15:43,423 --> 02:15:46,843
You won't have any problems
filling out divorce papers.
2210
02:15:47,844 --> 02:15:50,347
But somebody's got to try, goddamn it!
2211
02:15:50,597 --> 02:15:51,933
Somebody!
2212
02:15:56,187 --> 02:15:58,606
Are we going away, Daddy?
2213
02:16:05,613 --> 02:16:07,365
I don't know, Jasper.
2214
02:16:08,199 --> 02:16:09,617
Because of Kennedy?
2215
02:16:10,285 --> 02:16:13,204
Will the same people kill us, Papa?
2216
02:16:15,623 --> 02:16:17,626
Nobody will kill us.
2217
02:16:18,127 --> 02:16:19,378
I'm scared.
2218
02:16:20,546 --> 02:16:24,300
I don't like it when
you and Mommy fight.
2219
02:16:26,302 --> 02:16:28,304
I don't like it either, honey.
2220
02:16:29,388 --> 02:16:31,891
Why do we have to leave?
2221
02:16:32,224 --> 02:16:34,894
Don't you love us anymore?
2222
02:16:37,146 --> 02:16:39,148
Daddy loves you both.
2223
02:16:40,733 --> 02:16:43,820
There's nothing wrong feeling
a little scared, Jasper.
2224
02:16:44,488 --> 02:16:47,824
Telling the truth can be
a scary thing sometimes.
2225
02:16:48,492 --> 02:16:51,661
It scared President Kennedy,
and he was a brave man.
2226
02:16:52,496 --> 02:16:55,165
But if you let yourself be too scared...
2227
02:16:55,415 --> 02:16:58,502
...then you let the bad guys
take over the country.
2228
02:17:00,170 --> 02:17:02,172
Then everybody gets scared.
2229
02:17:03,006 --> 02:17:04,925
Stay with Mom, Papa.
2230
02:17:05,091 --> 02:17:06,426
Please.
2231
02:17:13,351 --> 02:17:14,352
Here's another.
2232
02:17:15,269 --> 02:17:18,523
The U.S. Attorney in Washington
declines to serve our subpoena...
2233
02:17:18,689 --> 02:17:22,944
...on Allen Dulles, Charles Cabell, CIA
director Richard Helms, any FBI agent.
2234
02:17:23,194 --> 02:17:25,863
What'd you expect from
a pig but a grunt?
2235
02:17:26,114 --> 02:17:30,368
Now it'll be near impossible to
prove Shaw's connection to the CIA.
2236
02:17:30,535 --> 02:17:31,953
What's going on?
2237
02:17:32,120 --> 02:17:35,457
We've never been refused
an extradition request.
2238
02:17:35,624 --> 02:17:37,793
Let's get Julia Ann Mercer in here.
2239
02:17:37,960 --> 02:17:39,628
No, she could get hurt.
2240
02:17:39,795 --> 02:17:42,297
Look what's happening to other people.
2241
02:17:42,464 --> 02:17:44,550
She's the best witness we have.
2242
02:17:44,716 --> 02:17:48,053
I just don't want to do it.
Now, what else?
2243
02:17:48,887 --> 02:17:53,142
You got your hate mail here.
And your fan mail here.
2244
02:17:53,559 --> 02:17:58,480
The bad news is that the IRS requested
an audit of your income from this office.
2245
02:17:59,064 --> 02:18:03,236
I expected that two months ago.
They're wasting their time.
2246
02:18:05,739 --> 02:18:09,909
The bad news is the National Guard just
asked me to resign after 18 years.
2247
02:18:11,161 --> 02:18:15,498
Maybe that's the good news.
Never was as good as combat.
2248
02:18:15,999 --> 02:18:17,208
But this is.
2249
02:18:18,960 --> 02:18:21,004
Any more on Oswald or Shaw?
2250
02:18:21,087 --> 02:18:21,671
Yeah.
2251
02:18:22,255 --> 02:18:25,258
They were seen together
in Clinton in early September.
2252
02:18:25,967 --> 02:18:30,014
The Civil Rights Movement was running
a voter's registration drive.
2253
02:18:30,097 --> 02:18:33,768
Rumor is, Shaw, a local boy,
was working on some arms deal...
2254
02:18:33,809 --> 02:18:36,562
...to discredit the Civil
Rights Movement.
2255
02:18:36,937 --> 02:18:39,440
Nobody really knows what
they were doing there, but...
2256
02:18:39,523 --> 02:18:41,734
...hell, they stood out
like cotton balls.
2257
02:18:41,817 --> 02:18:44,487
I got whites and colored
that saw 'em with a...
2258
02:18:44,570 --> 02:18:45,863
Last time I checked...
2259
02:18:45,905 --> 02:18:48,866
...there was nothing illegal
with registering to vote.
2260
02:18:48,949 --> 02:18:52,203
We still got the uh, Negro junkie,
Vernon Bundy...
2261
02:18:52,787 --> 02:18:55,874
...who saw him talking at the
sea wall near Lake Pontchartrain.
2262
02:18:55,958 --> 02:18:58,460
But, hell, it's tough, boss,
nobody wants to talk about Shaw.
2263
02:18:58,585 --> 02:18:59,211
He's just.
2264
02:18:59,294 --> 02:19:00,754
You keep saying this, see,
you keep saying that...
2265
02:19:00,837 --> 02:19:01,421
...you're not digging.
2266
02:19:01,546 --> 02:19:02,547
- I keep saying what?
- You're not digging.
2267
02:19:03,173 --> 02:19:05,926
You wanna do my job? You do my job,
I'll do your job!
2268
02:19:05,968 --> 02:19:08,679
I think Clinton is a breakthrough, now.
2269
02:19:10,847 --> 02:19:13,308
Shaw denies ever knowing
Ferrie or Oswald, right?
2270
02:19:13,350 --> 02:19:14,434
Right.
2271
02:19:14,476 --> 02:19:16,103
That proves he's a liar.
2272
02:19:17,646 --> 02:19:18,647
Keep on it, Bill.
2273
02:19:18,772 --> 02:19:19,606
This is interesting.
2274
02:19:20,108 --> 02:19:21,943
Oswald went to see the FBI 2 weeks...
2275
02:19:22,777 --> 02:19:23,611
...before the assassination.
2276
02:19:24,320 --> 02:19:25,613
May I see Special Agent Hosty?
2277
02:19:26,990 --> 02:19:28,408
He's not in. Can someone
else help you?
2278
02:19:28,491 --> 02:19:32,579
Special Agent Hosty made 3 visits
to Janet Williams' house...
2279
02:19:32,745 --> 02:19:35,039
...to keep an eye on Marina.
He left a note.
2280
02:19:35,373 --> 02:19:38,334
Hosty told a newspaperman
it was a warning...
2281
02:19:38,668 --> 02:19:41,921
...to stop questioning Marina
when Oswald was not present.
2282
02:19:42,255 --> 02:19:46,844
She was not a citizen, so possibly he
was threatening to deport her to Russia.
2283
02:19:47,928 --> 02:19:50,097
But what the note really
said, no one knows.
2284
02:19:50,556 --> 02:19:53,225
Hosty tore it up and
flushed it down the toilet.
2285
02:19:53,392 --> 02:19:54,935
This is just speculation.
2286
02:19:55,144 --> 02:19:59,315
But what if the note described the
assassination attempt on JFK?
2287
02:20:05,487 --> 02:20:07,406
Come on, think!
2288
02:20:07,573 --> 02:20:09,825
That's the only reason to destroy it.
2289
02:20:10,159 --> 02:20:14,414
If it was a threat like Hosty
said, they would have kept it.
2290
02:20:14,664 --> 02:20:18,418
It makes their case against the
angry lone nut that much stronger.
2291
02:20:19,169 --> 02:20:20,921
Remember Agent Quigley...
2292
02:20:21,087 --> 02:20:22,631
...the day he was arrested?
2293
02:20:22,839 --> 02:20:25,675
Quigley destroyed the
notes from the interview.
2294
02:20:25,842 --> 02:20:30,096
We can raise the possibility that
Oswald was not only an informant...
2295
02:20:30,430 --> 02:20:35,352
...but he may have been the original
source for the telex dated November 17...
2296
02:20:35,852 --> 02:20:40,274
...warning of Kennedy's assassination
in Dallas on November 22.
2297
02:20:42,360 --> 02:20:46,614
William Walters, the FBI
night clerk, gave me a copy.
2298
02:20:46,864 --> 02:20:49,534
It went all over the country.
Nothing was done.
2299
02:20:49,700 --> 02:20:53,162
The motorcade went on schedule.
The Warren Report didn't mention it.
2300
02:20:53,371 --> 02:20:57,708
"A militant group may attempt to
assassinate President Kennedy...
2301
02:20:57,875 --> 02:20:59,794
...on his proposed trip
to Dallas, Texas."
2302
02:21:00,044 --> 02:21:01,879
Shortly after the assassination...
2303
02:21:02,296 --> 02:21:05,843
...Walters says the telex was
removed from all the files...
2304
02:21:06,260 --> 02:21:09,054
...as an obvious
embarrassment to the Bureau.
2305
02:21:10,222 --> 02:21:12,891
I believe Oswald sent
information through Hosty.
2306
02:21:13,142 --> 02:21:16,895
I have a hunch Oswald had
infiltrated this group.
2307
02:21:17,062 --> 02:21:19,231
Cubans or right-wing extremists.
2308
02:21:19,982 --> 02:21:23,652
He was told to be at the
Book Depository that day...
2309
02:21:23,819 --> 02:21:27,072
...to either prevent the
assassination or take part in it.
2310
02:21:27,322 --> 02:21:30,827
Either they told him they'd
close down the plotters...
2311
02:21:31,828 --> 02:21:33,246
...or simulate an attack...
2312
02:21:33,413 --> 02:21:35,665
...on Kennedy to whip
up public opinion...
2313
02:21:35,832 --> 02:21:39,335
...so Kennedy would have to
reverse his policies on communism.
2314
02:21:39,836 --> 02:21:42,005
What they told him doesn't matter.
2315
02:21:42,589 --> 02:21:44,049
He was under orders.
2316
02:21:44,257 --> 02:21:46,092
He was a foot soldier.
2317
02:21:48,595 --> 02:21:51,514
You can't miss. He is a dead duck.
2318
02:21:52,724 --> 02:21:53,808
I don't buy it.
2319
02:21:54,267 --> 02:21:56,228
Why would the FBI cover it up?
2320
02:21:56,520 --> 02:22:00,691
A telex disappears from every
single FBI office in this country?
2321
02:22:00,858 --> 02:22:02,401
There's a word, Bill.
2322
02:22:02,610 --> 02:22:05,446
- Orders.
- Or a cover- up.
2323
02:22:05,696 --> 02:22:08,616
Don't you have enough proof
of the FBI's complicity yet?
2324
02:22:08,783 --> 02:22:11,118
I respect this country's institutions!
2325
02:22:13,788 --> 02:22:16,749
How the hell can you keep
a conspiracy going...
2326
02:22:17,041 --> 02:22:21,462
...between the mob, CIA, FBI, Army
Intelligence and who knows what else...
2327
02:22:21,879 --> 02:22:25,801
...when you can't keep a secret
in this room between 12 people?
2328
02:22:25,968 --> 02:22:27,803
I mean, we got leaks everywhere.
2329
02:22:28,053 --> 02:22:30,806
We are going to trial, y'all!
2330
02:22:30,973 --> 02:22:33,141
What the hell do we really got?
2331
02:22:33,308 --> 02:22:36,770
Oswald, Ruby, Banister
and Ferrie are dead.
2332
02:22:36,979 --> 02:22:39,731
Maybe Shaw is an agent. I don't know.
2333
02:22:39,898 --> 02:22:41,441
But as a covert operator...
2334
02:22:41,650 --> 02:22:45,070
...he is wide open for blackmail
because of his homosexuality.
2335
02:22:45,237 --> 02:22:49,158
Shaw's our toehold. I don't know
or care exactly how he fits.
2336
02:22:49,659 --> 02:22:52,829
But he's lying through his teeth.
I won't let go of him.
2337
02:22:52,996 --> 02:22:55,665
That's why you're going to
trial against Clay Shaw?
2338
02:22:55,832 --> 02:22:57,500
You will lose!
2339
02:22:57,667 --> 02:23:00,420
We should investigate
our Mafia leads here.
2340
02:23:00,587 --> 02:23:03,840
I can buy that easier than
I can the government.
2341
02:23:05,008 --> 02:23:08,970
Ruby is all mob, knows
Oswald, sets him up.
2342
02:23:09,262 --> 02:23:13,266
Hoffa, Trafficante, Marcello,
they hire some guns and do Kennedy.
2343
02:23:13,600 --> 02:23:17,187
The government doesn't want to
open up a whole can of worms...
2344
02:23:17,354 --> 02:23:20,691
...because it used the
mob to try to get Castro.
2345
02:23:20,858 --> 02:23:24,320
Castro being assassinated
by the mob by us...
2346
02:23:24,528 --> 02:23:26,697
...sounds wild to John Q. Citizen.
2347
02:23:26,864 --> 02:23:29,783
So they close the book on JFK.
2348
02:23:30,743 --> 02:23:32,286
Makes perfect sense to me.
2349
02:23:32,453 --> 02:23:35,456
I don't doubt their involvement
at a low level.
2350
02:23:36,040 --> 02:23:38,000
Could the mob change the parade route?
2351
02:23:38,709 --> 02:23:41,671
Or eliminate the protection
for the President?
2352
02:23:41,880 --> 02:23:45,217
Could the mob send Oswald
to Russia and get him back?
2353
02:23:45,383 --> 02:23:49,971
Get the FBI, the CIA and the Dallas
Police to mess up the investigation?
2354
02:23:50,138 --> 02:23:53,475
Get the Warren Commission
appointed to cover it up?
2355
02:23:53,975 --> 02:23:58,480
Wreck the autopsy? Influence the
national media to go to sleep?
2356
02:23:58,647 --> 02:24:02,234
Since when has the mob used anything
but .38's for hits up close?
2357
02:24:03,902 --> 02:24:07,740
The mob wouldn't have the guts or the
power for something of this magnitude.
2358
02:24:08,324 --> 02:24:10,743
Assassins need payrolls.
2359
02:24:10,910 --> 02:24:13,329
Schedules, times, orders.
2360
02:24:13,913 --> 02:24:16,582
This was a military-style ambush.
2361
02:24:16,749 --> 02:24:20,211
A coup d'etat with
Lyndon Johnson waiting in the wings.
2362
02:24:20,503 --> 02:24:24,674
You're saying Lyndon Johnson
was involved? The President?
2363
02:24:24,841 --> 02:24:28,261
Johnson got $1 billion for his friends,
Brown and Root...
2364
02:24:28,427 --> 02:24:30,763
...to dredge Cam Ranh Bay in Vietnam.
2365
02:24:31,013 --> 02:24:34,184
Boss, are you calling
the President a murderer?
2366
02:24:34,351 --> 02:24:37,938
If I'm so far from the truth, why
is the FBI bugging our offices?
2367
02:24:38,188 --> 02:24:40,858
Why are witnesses bought
off and murdered?
2368
02:24:41,108 --> 02:24:44,695
Why are federal agencies blocking
our extraditions and subpoenas?
2369
02:24:44,862 --> 02:24:46,530
I don't know.
2370
02:24:46,697 --> 02:24:49,700
Maybe there's some rogue
element in the government.
2371
02:24:49,867 --> 02:24:52,119
With a full-blown cover-up?
2372
02:24:53,454 --> 02:24:55,414
You ever read Shakespeare?
2373
02:24:58,041 --> 02:24:59,210
I do.
2374
02:24:59,878 --> 02:25:01,421
"Julius Caesar"?
2375
02:25:02,213 --> 02:25:05,550
"Brutus and Cassius, they
too are honorable men."
2376
02:25:06,301 --> 02:25:07,969
Who killed Caesar?
2377
02:25:08,720 --> 02:25:10,722
10 or 12 Senators.
2378
02:25:10,972 --> 02:25:13,641
All it takes is one Judas.
2379
02:25:13,808 --> 02:25:17,145
A few people on the inside.
Pentagon, CIA.
2380
02:25:17,312 --> 02:25:19,147
This is Louisiana.
2381
02:25:19,481 --> 02:25:23,902
How do you know who your daddy is?
'Cause your mama told you so.
2382
02:25:24,820 --> 02:25:27,156
You are taking a crap in the wind.
2383
02:25:27,490 --> 02:25:31,160
And I am not going along on this one.
2384
02:25:40,586 --> 02:25:43,422
I've had my doubts all along about Bill.
2385
02:25:44,006 --> 02:25:45,925
He's been fighting us.
2386
02:25:47,426 --> 02:25:48,844
We need him back.
2387
02:25:49,011 --> 02:25:51,264
He wasted a month trying to prove...
2388
02:25:51,431 --> 02:25:55,102
...that mob boys like Jack Ruby
are hooked up with Hunt Oil.
2389
02:25:55,268 --> 02:25:57,521
- I don't trust him.
- I will not hear this.
2390
02:25:57,688 --> 02:26:00,649
I value Bill as much as any person here.
2391
02:26:01,858 --> 02:26:06,321
It's time...
2392
02:27:27,089 --> 02:27:30,009
And now, Jerry, here's Jim Garrison...
2393
02:27:30,510 --> 02:27:33,679
...the District Attorney of
New Orleans, Louisiana.
2394
02:27:48,153 --> 02:27:50,030
Welcome, District Attorney Garrison.
2395
02:27:50,531 --> 02:27:53,992
So, you're investigating the
murder of President Kennedy.
2396
02:27:54,076 --> 02:27:57,329
You know, I must say,
we've heard some strange things...
2397
02:27:57,454 --> 02:27:59,331
...coming out of your
office in New Orleans.
2398
02:27:59,456 --> 02:28:03,211
First, we heard that the Cuban
exiles killed the President.
2399
02:28:03,586 --> 02:28:05,004
Then, the mob.
2400
02:28:05,422 --> 02:28:09,718
Now, your latest theory seems to be
that the CIA, and the FBI...
2401
02:28:10,260 --> 02:28:12,554
...and the Pentagon
and the White House...
2402
02:28:12,929 --> 02:28:17,225
...all combined in some elaborate
conspiracy to kill John Kennedy.
2403
02:28:17,434 --> 02:28:20,228
Let me ask you, is there anyone
besides Lee Harvey Oswald...
2404
02:28:20,395 --> 02:28:23,565
...who you think didn't conspire
to kill the President?
2405
02:28:26,276 --> 02:28:28,236
Let's just say this, Jerry:
2406
02:28:28,903 --> 02:28:30,323
I've stopped beating my wife.
2407
02:28:32,908 --> 02:28:34,327
Maybe you should ask Lyndon Johnson.
2408
02:28:34,452 --> 02:28:36,620
We know he has some answers.
2409
02:28:40,291 --> 02:28:43,544
Now, there've been a number of
reports in reputable news media...
2410
02:28:43,627 --> 02:28:46,422
...Time, Newsweek,
our own NBC...
2411
02:28:46,505 --> 02:28:50,009
...that you've gone way beyond
the legal means available to you...
2412
02:28:50,134 --> 02:28:51,260
...as a prosecutor...
2413
02:28:51,302 --> 02:28:54,430
...that you have intimidated,
even drugged, witnesses...
2414
02:28:54,513 --> 02:28:57,601
...bribed them, even urged
them to commit perjury?
2415
02:28:58,310 --> 02:28:59,561
Do you have a response to this?
2416
02:28:59,603 --> 02:29:02,939
Your faith in the veracity of the
major media is touching, Jerry.
2417
02:29:03,023 --> 02:29:06,109
It indicates that the age
of innocence is not yet over.
2418
02:29:06,234 --> 02:29:07,653
But ask yourself:
2419
02:29:07,736 --> 02:29:10,572
...if we had learned on
November 22nd, 1963...
2420
02:29:10,697 --> 02:29:12,658
...that the Premier of Russia
had been shot from...
2421
02:29:12,741 --> 02:29:16,078
...a Moscow office building by a
lonely capitalist sympathizer who...
2422
02:29:16,161 --> 02:29:18,956
...himself, was then liquidated by a
patriotic Muscovite within 48 hours...
2423
02:29:19,456 --> 02:29:21,584
...while surrounded by armed police...
2424
02:29:22,043 --> 02:29:24,963
...l think it would be pretty apparent
to any free thinking person...
2425
02:29:25,004 --> 02:29:26,881
...that a coup d'etat
or a transfer of power...
2426
02:29:26,965 --> 02:29:29,592
...had just taken place
in the Soviet Union.
2427
02:29:29,676 --> 02:29:31,177
And we would not
be asking questions...
2428
02:29:31,302 --> 02:29:33,680
...or attacking Jim Garrison
or his record.
2429
02:29:33,805 --> 02:29:35,848
We would, in a free
thinking society...
2430
02:29:35,974 --> 02:29:38,476
...be asking hard questions
about why he was killed...
2431
02:29:38,601 --> 02:29:40,478
...and what forces
were opposed to him.
2432
02:29:40,645 --> 02:29:41,688
Jim, you know,
there are some people...
2433
02:29:41,813 --> 02:29:44,065
...who might say you're paranoid.
2434
02:29:44,524 --> 02:29:45,984
Maybe I'd better show you
some pictures...
2435
02:29:46,109 --> 02:29:50,197
...so you can begin to understand
what it is that I'm talking about.
2436
02:29:51,365 --> 02:29:52,950
These are arrests.
2437
02:29:53,200 --> 02:29:57,121
Now, these arrests were photographed
minutes after the assassination.
2438
02:29:57,204 --> 02:29:59,373
Now, they were never shown
to the American public.
2439
02:29:59,456 --> 02:30:01,375
Jim, I'm sorry.
These pictures can't show up on TV.
2440
02:30:01,500 --> 02:30:02,167
Well, sure they can.
2441
02:30:02,209 --> 02:30:03,711
No, I'm sorry, they can't.
2442
02:30:03,836 --> 02:30:05,629
No. The camera can pick these up.
2443
02:30:05,713 --> 02:30:09,425
Jim, I'm sorry. They can't.
We have libel laws, you know.
2444
02:30:11,176 --> 02:30:13,220
Those men you just saw
were arrested in Dallas...
2445
02:30:13,345 --> 02:30:16,391
...minutes after the assassination.
They were never seen again.
2446
02:30:16,516 --> 02:30:19,686
No record of arrest, no mug shot,
no fingerprints.
2447
02:30:19,769 --> 02:30:21,146
Jim? Hold that thought.
2448
02:30:21,229 --> 02:30:23,148
We're gonna be back
right after these commercials.
2449
02:30:23,231 --> 02:30:24,524
Who were they?
2450
02:30:32,491 --> 02:30:33,158
Jim!
2451
02:30:34,743 --> 02:30:36,953
Bill, what the hell
are you doing here?
2452
02:30:37,496 --> 02:30:39,080
I'm sorry about the other day, chief.
2453
02:30:39,206 --> 02:30:41,083
I didn't mean to walk out
on you like that.
2454
02:30:42,502 --> 02:30:44,712
Bill, you came all the way
to tell me the obvious?
2455
02:30:45,671 --> 02:30:47,131
No, boss. Look...
2456
02:30:47,340 --> 02:30:49,675
...l just got word there's going to be
an attempt to kill you...
2457
02:30:49,717 --> 02:30:51,886
...somewhere between here
and New Orleans.
2458
02:30:51,928 --> 02:30:55,181
The mob guy was brought down
by Shaw from Canada.
2459
02:30:55,556 --> 02:30:57,058
This is serious, chief.
2460
02:30:57,141 --> 02:30:59,268
You're gonna need a
bodyguard tonight.
2461
02:30:59,310 --> 02:31:00,186
Bill, when you were in the Army...
2462
02:31:00,311 --> 02:31:02,271
...did you have a chance to
find out what an order meant?
2463
02:31:02,688 --> 02:31:03,356
Yeah.
2464
02:31:03,439 --> 02:31:05,316
You happen to remember my order
for anyone in my staff...
2465
02:31:05,441 --> 02:31:07,736
...not to participate in passing
on these endless rumors...
2466
02:31:07,778 --> 02:31:09,321
...about how somebody's
going to get killed?
2467
02:31:09,405 --> 02:31:10,739
Yes, I do, boss, but this is dif.
2468
02:31:10,781 --> 02:31:11,907
No, there is no "but."
2469
02:31:11,949 --> 02:31:14,618
There is no "but" in a
military situation, Broussard!
2470
02:31:15,244 --> 02:31:18,038
I don't appreciate your dumping
this paranoid garbage on me.
2471
02:31:18,372 --> 02:31:20,457
And I don't appreciate your inability
to follow a simple order...
2472
02:31:20,582 --> 02:31:22,876
...especially when it means
I'm personally gonna end up...
2473
02:31:23,001 --> 02:31:26,046
...paying for your flight
back to New Orleans.
2474
02:31:26,088 --> 02:31:27,381
Now, let's get you a ticket.
2475
02:31:29,299 --> 02:31:32,053
Boss, I'm sorry.
I'm just looking out for you.
2476
02:31:32,679 --> 02:31:33,888
Get a receipt.
2477
02:32:21,520 --> 02:32:22,855
Come on, come on, he's out here.
2478
02:32:23,439 --> 02:32:26,318
Jim, where're you going?
It's me, Samuel.
2479
02:32:34,534 --> 02:32:36,370
Hey! How long were you
in that restroom, mister?
2480
02:32:36,411 --> 02:32:37,663
None of your goddamn business.
2481
02:33:29,258 --> 02:33:31,010
Jim? Bad news. Bill's turned.
2482
02:33:31,552 --> 02:33:33,929
I think he's given everything
we've got to the Feds.
2483
02:33:34,054 --> 02:33:36,390
We studied the memos, and there
was nothing there, chief.
2484
02:33:36,515 --> 02:33:37,391
Nothing.
2485
02:33:37,433 --> 02:33:38,350
We went to confront him...
2486
02:33:38,434 --> 02:33:41,061
...and the landlady said that
the son- of-a-bitch just took off.
2487
02:33:41,145 --> 02:33:42,647
Left everything.
2488
02:33:43,064 --> 02:33:44,649
It's unbelievable.
2489
02:33:45,108 --> 02:33:48,236
Mattie, could you get
Mr. Garrison a drink, please?
2490
02:33:48,320 --> 02:33:49,946
Something sure scared him.
2491
02:33:49,988 --> 02:33:52,949
Bill doesn't scare that easy.
Somebody got to his thinking.
2492
02:33:53,033 --> 02:33:54,743
He was never that good a thinker.
2493
02:33:54,826 --> 02:33:56,745
Well, he sure fooled us.
2494
02:33:57,370 --> 02:34:00,624
No, don't turn it down, turn it up.
I want to see this.
2495
02:34:02,751 --> 02:34:03,835
He's winning!
2496
02:34:06,254 --> 02:34:07,422
He'll never make it.
2497
02:34:09,008 --> 02:34:10,426
If he wins, they'll kill him.
2498
02:34:11,219 --> 02:34:12,512
He'll stop the war.
2499
02:34:14,889 --> 02:34:16,891
They're gonna kill him before
they'll let him be president.
2500
02:34:20,478 --> 02:34:21,437
Thank you, Mattie.
2501
02:34:22,146 --> 02:34:25,107
Boss, with Broussard,
they have everything.
2502
02:34:25,650 --> 02:34:28,111
All our witnesses,
our strategy for the trial.
2503
02:34:28,277 --> 02:34:30,113
We gotta double check all his work.
2504
02:34:30,238 --> 02:34:32,115
There could be false leads.
We can't go to trial!
2505
02:34:33,157 --> 02:34:34,117
We don't have a prayer!
2506
02:34:34,618 --> 02:34:35,619
I don't think so, Al.
2507
02:34:35,744 --> 02:34:37,996
I have to agree with Al, boss.
2508
02:34:38,330 --> 02:34:40,833
This is not one we're going
to come out on.
2509
02:34:40,999 --> 02:34:44,878
You remember the Hemingway story,
"The Old Man and the Sea"?
2510
02:34:45,129 --> 02:34:48,006
The old fisherman manages
to catch this great fish.
2511
02:34:48,632 --> 02:34:50,342
Fish so huge that he has to tie it...
2512
02:34:50,426 --> 02:34:52,761
...to the side of the boat
in order to get it back in.
2513
02:34:52,970 --> 02:34:54,847
But by the time it
reached the shore...
2514
02:34:54,930 --> 02:34:57,808
...the fish had long since
been picked apart by sharks.
2515
02:35:01,771 --> 02:35:03,648
Nothing was left but the skeleton.
2516
02:35:03,857 --> 02:35:05,316
And that's what's
gonna happen to us.
2517
02:35:05,483 --> 02:35:07,569
Then what'd we go to
all this trouble for, boss?
2518
02:35:07,736 --> 02:35:09,654
It's a means to an end.
2519
02:35:09,821 --> 02:35:11,823
Now, this war has two fronts.
2520
02:35:13,074 --> 02:35:15,326
In the court of law,
we hope against the odds...
2521
02:35:15,410 --> 02:35:17,662
...to nail Clay Shaw on
a conspiracy charge.
2522
02:35:17,704 --> 02:35:20,874
In the court of public opinion,
it could take another 25, 30 years...
2523
02:35:21,458 --> 02:35:22,792
...for the truth to come out.
2524
02:35:25,587 --> 02:35:27,840
But at least we're going
to strike the first blow.
2525
02:35:30,009 --> 02:35:31,344
What if you're wrong?
2526
02:35:35,723 --> 02:35:38,392
I never thought for a second
I was, honey.
2527
02:35:38,809 --> 02:35:39,310
Liz.
2528
02:35:41,979 --> 02:35:43,606
Will you come to the trial?
2529
02:35:45,149 --> 02:35:46,150
I don't think so.
2530
02:35:48,402 --> 02:35:53,700
With 53% of the precincts reporting,
Sen. Kennedy has a 48% to 41% lead...
2531
02:35:53,951 --> 02:35:54,868
...over Sen. McCarthy.
2532
02:35:55,619 --> 02:35:58,205
CBS News projects Sen. Robert Kennedy...
2533
02:35:58,413 --> 02:36:01,041
...the winner of the California primary.
2534
02:36:01,458 --> 02:36:04,962
Within the United States over
the period of the last 3 years...
2535
02:36:05,128 --> 02:36:09,675
...the division, the violence, the
disenchantment with our society...
2536
02:36:09,883 --> 02:36:12,135
...the divisions between
blacks and whites...
2537
02:36:12,302 --> 02:36:15,555
...the poor and the affluent,
between age groups...
2538
02:36:15,722 --> 02:36:18,225
...or Vietnam, we can work together.
2539
02:36:18,433 --> 02:36:22,313
We are a great country, an unselfish,
compassionate country.
2540
02:36:22,480 --> 02:36:24,774
That's my basis for running.
2541
02:36:28,987 --> 02:36:32,407
Thank you all. It's on to Chicago
and let's win there.
2542
02:36:45,796 --> 02:36:47,590
Senator Kennedy has been shot!
2543
02:37:30,509 --> 02:37:32,135
They killed him, honey.
2544
02:37:34,721 --> 02:37:36,056
He won...
2545
02:37:36,389 --> 02:37:38,726
...and they killed Robert Kennedy.
2546
02:37:40,728 --> 02:37:42,230
They shot him down.
2547
02:37:44,524 --> 02:37:46,067
Oh, my God!
2548
02:37:48,694 --> 02:37:50,071
Both of them?
2549
02:37:50,905 --> 02:37:52,657
Both brothers?
2550
02:37:57,870 --> 02:37:59,330
You were right.
2551
02:38:01,332 --> 02:38:03,168
It hasn't ended yet.
2552
02:38:10,884 --> 02:38:12,594
For the first time...
2553
02:38:14,263 --> 02:38:16,265
...l feel really scared.
2554
02:38:28,777 --> 02:38:31,114
I wish I could've loved you more.
2555
02:38:34,117 --> 02:38:38,455
Sometimes I feel like I
didn't ever love you...
2556
02:38:39,789 --> 02:38:41,791
...or the children enough.
2557
02:38:43,793 --> 02:38:45,128
I'm sorry.
2558
02:39:28,840 --> 02:39:30,175
Please rise.
2559
02:39:32,427 --> 02:39:37,265
The Criminal District Court for Orleans
Parish, Section H, is now in session.
2560
02:39:37,683 --> 02:39:41,937
Honorable Judge Edward A. Haggerty, Jr.
presiding. Be seated.
2561
02:39:46,984 --> 02:39:48,319
That's Clay Bertrand.
2562
02:39:48,653 --> 02:39:50,280
That's who I saw at Ferrie's.
2563
02:39:50,697 --> 02:39:52,448
That's who you say you saw.
2564
02:39:53,700 --> 02:39:55,368
A confessed homosexual.
2565
02:39:56,536 --> 02:39:58,788
Convicted of pandering and soliciting.
2566
02:39:59,706 --> 02:40:02,041
A man who has lied about everything...
2567
02:40:02,542 --> 02:40:05,378
...and now wants to
be taken at his word.
2568
02:40:05,837 --> 02:40:08,214
That man, right there. Yes, sir.
2569
02:40:08,464 --> 02:40:10,800
He was at the Pontchartrain wall...
2570
02:40:11,301 --> 02:40:13,136
...with the man who shot the President.
2571
02:40:14,722 --> 02:40:17,057
I remember him because of his limp.
2572
02:40:17,308 --> 02:40:20,227
A heroin addict injecting
himself at the wall.
2573
02:40:20,561 --> 02:40:22,646
Barely conscious of his surroundings.
2574
02:40:23,272 --> 02:40:24,648
Is that the man?
2575
02:40:24,732 --> 02:40:26,567
That was the man, right there.
2576
02:40:26,650 --> 02:40:29,153
He dropped Oswald off
on the voter's line.
2577
02:40:29,195 --> 02:40:30,487
I remember, 'cause they were the only...
2578
02:40:30,613 --> 02:40:32,489
...white strangers around that morning.
2579
02:40:32,573 --> 02:40:36,577
The big, black Cadillac of his
made me think they might be FBI.
2580
02:40:37,828 --> 02:40:39,831
Anything we can do to help you,
please let us know.
2581
02:40:39,873 --> 02:40:40,874
Said he was a representative...
2582
02:40:40,916 --> 02:40:44,085
...of one International Trade
Mart of New Orleans.
2583
02:40:44,127 --> 02:40:46,922
More than five years ago,
for two minutes.
2584
02:40:47,506 --> 02:40:50,008
It's fair to say you could be mistaken.
2585
02:40:50,133 --> 02:40:52,260
Just a figment of my imagination.
2586
02:40:52,427 --> 02:40:54,888
The cat's stewing you, I told him.
2587
02:40:55,180 --> 02:40:58,058
You got the right ta-ta,
but the wrong ho-ho.
2588
02:40:58,350 --> 02:41:02,020
Bertrand is not Shaw, Scout's honor.
And you can tell him I said so.
2589
02:41:02,187 --> 02:41:03,188
Objection, Your Honor!
2590
02:41:03,313 --> 02:41:06,692
Andrews has been convicted
of perjury on this matter.
2591
02:41:06,943 --> 02:41:09,070
Exception taken. That case is on appeal.
2592
02:41:10,696 --> 02:41:11,864
Mr. Goldberg.
2593
02:41:12,240 --> 02:41:14,200
You claim that you met
David Ferrie and Clay Shaw...
2594
02:41:14,367 --> 02:41:17,245
...on a vacation trip from your
accounting business in New York.
2595
02:41:17,370 --> 02:41:19,705
You had drinks, and,
under the influence...
2596
02:41:19,872 --> 02:41:21,165
...discussed killing Kennedy.
2597
02:41:21,332 --> 02:41:22,166
Is that not so?
2598
02:41:22,291 --> 02:41:23,334
Yes. I did.
2599
02:41:23,543 --> 02:41:25,545
Is it not also true that you
fingerprinted your daughter...
2600
02:41:25,628 --> 02:41:27,839
...when she went to
Louisiana State University?
2601
02:41:27,922 --> 02:41:29,465
Yes, sir. I did.
2602
02:41:29,799 --> 02:41:32,344
And is it not also true that you
fingerprinted her when she returned...
2603
02:41:32,428 --> 02:41:33,679
...at the end of the semester?
2604
02:41:33,720 --> 02:41:35,055
Yes. I did.
2605
02:41:35,389 --> 02:41:36,223
Why?
2606
02:41:36,557 --> 02:41:40,644
Well, I wanted to make sure that
she was the same girl I sent away.
2607
02:41:42,813 --> 02:41:45,441
He was one of Broussard's
witnesses, chief.
2608
02:41:45,524 --> 02:41:48,110
I'm sorry. He was totally sane
when we took his affidavit.
2609
02:41:48,235 --> 02:41:52,489
Your Honor, we call Police Officer
Aloysius Habighorst to the stand.
2610
02:41:53,073 --> 02:41:55,534
I must ask the jury to leave the court.
2611
02:41:59,080 --> 02:42:01,332
- Name?
- Clay LaVerne Shaw.
2612
02:42:01,499 --> 02:42:03,334
Defendant didn't have
his lawyer present.
2613
02:42:03,501 --> 02:42:06,504
It's standard booking
procedure to ask an alias!
2614
02:42:06,629 --> 02:42:08,089
I call them as I see them!
2615
02:42:08,256 --> 02:42:09,507
Any aliases?
2616
02:42:09,632 --> 02:42:11,092
Clay Bertrand.
2617
02:42:12,761 --> 02:42:16,556
It's not constitutionally required
that a lawyer be present!
2618
02:42:17,599 --> 02:42:20,560
- I'm ruling that inadmissible!
- That's our case!
2619
02:42:20,769 --> 02:42:23,271
Then you didn't have a case.
2620
02:42:23,521 --> 02:42:26,275
I wouldn't believe anything
Habighorst said anyway.
2621
02:42:26,525 --> 02:42:28,527
I can't believe you're saying this!
2622
02:42:28,653 --> 02:42:30,946
I am saying it. Bring in the jury.
2623
02:42:34,992 --> 02:42:37,828
- Oswald?
- No, I did not.
2624
02:42:38,454 --> 02:42:41,582
- Ever call Dean Andrews?
- No, I did not.
2625
02:42:42,917 --> 02:42:45,294
Have you ever met David Ferrie?
2626
02:42:46,629 --> 02:42:50,467
Wouldn't even know what he looked
like if I hadn't seen pictures.
2627
02:42:51,510 --> 02:42:53,971
Did you ever use the
alias, Clay Bertrand?
2628
02:42:54,262 --> 02:42:55,973
No, I did not.
2629
02:42:57,391 --> 02:42:59,309
Thank you, Mr. Shaw.
2630
02:43:01,812 --> 02:43:05,107
A very great actor has just
given us a great performance.
2631
02:43:05,399 --> 02:43:07,859
But we are nowhere closer to the truth.
2632
02:43:08,402 --> 02:43:12,406
My office is charging Clay Shaw
with outright perjury...
2633
02:43:12,572 --> 02:43:16,619
...on 15 answers he's given today,
not one word being true.
2634
02:43:17,078 --> 02:43:19,622
You're out of order! Now, sit down!
2635
02:43:19,956 --> 02:43:21,833
That's the man right there.
2636
02:43:28,756 --> 02:43:31,968
To prove there was a conspiracy
involving Clay Shaw...
2637
02:43:32,468 --> 02:43:36,764
...we must prove there was more than
one man involved in the assassination.
2638
02:43:37,515 --> 02:43:38,600
To do that...
2639
02:43:38,891 --> 02:43:42,271
...we must look at the Zapruder film
which my office subpoenaed.
2640
02:43:42,980 --> 02:43:45,566
The American public has not seen.
2641
02:43:47,276 --> 02:43:51,989
...has not seen the film. It's been
locked in a vault the last 5 years...
2642
02:43:53,532 --> 02:43:54,742
...in the Time/Life
Building in New York.
2643
02:43:56,744 --> 02:43:58,579
There's a reason for that.
2644
02:43:59,663 --> 02:44:00,497
Watch.
2645
02:44:51,092 --> 02:44:53,636
The picture speaks 1,000 words.
2646
02:44:55,346 --> 02:44:58,099
The Warren Commission thought
they had an open-and-shut case.
2647
02:44:58,432 --> 02:45:00,561
Three bullets, one assassin.
2648
02:45:01,353 --> 02:45:05,983
But two unpredictable things happened
that day to make it virtually impossible.
2649
02:45:06,191 --> 02:45:10,988
One, the film shot by Abraham Zapruder
while standing near the grassy knoll.
2650
02:45:11,113 --> 02:45:15,075
And two, the third wounded man,
James Tague, nicked by a fragment...
2651
02:45:15,659 --> 02:45:18,203
...while standing near
the triple underpass.
2652
02:45:18,495 --> 02:45:21,915
The time frame, 5.6 seconds,
established by the Zapruder film...
2653
02:45:22,124 --> 02:45:24,835
...left no possibility of a fourth shot.
2654
02:45:25,085 --> 02:45:29,591
So the shot of fragment that left a
superficial wound on Tague's cheek...
2655
02:45:29,758 --> 02:45:34,095
...had to come from one of the 3 bullets
fired from the Depository's 6th floor.
2656
02:45:34,763 --> 02:45:36,598
That leaves just two bullets.
2657
02:45:36,931 --> 02:45:40,852
We know one of them was the fatal
head shot that killed Kennedy.
2658
02:45:42,353 --> 02:45:44,147
So a single bullet remains.
2659
02:45:44,397 --> 02:45:49,235
A single bullet must account for the
7 wounds in Kennedy and Connally.
2660
02:45:50,028 --> 02:45:53,157
Rather than admit to a conspiracy
or investigate further...
2661
02:45:53,366 --> 02:45:56,160
...the Warren Commission
endorsed the theory...
2662
02:45:56,369 --> 02:45:59,163
...put forth by an ambitious attorney,
Arlen Spector.
2663
02:45:59,372 --> 02:46:02,708
One of the grossest lies ever
forced on the American people.
2664
02:46:04,168 --> 02:46:06,629
It's known as the "magic bullet" theory.
2665
02:46:07,421 --> 02:46:08,964
The magic bullet...
2666
02:46:09,131 --> 02:46:13,803
...enters the President's back,
headed downward at a 17 degree angle.
2667
02:46:14,053 --> 02:46:18,892
It then moves upwards to leave Kennedy's
body from the front of his neck...
2668
02:46:19,267 --> 02:46:20,978
...wound #2...
2669
02:46:21,269 --> 02:46:23,814
...where it waits 1 .6 seconds...
2670
02:46:24,064 --> 02:46:28,068
...presumably in midair, where
it turns right, then left...
2671
02:46:28,568 --> 02:46:30,570
...right, then left...
2672
02:46:30,904 --> 02:46:34,157
...and continues into
Connally's right armpit.
2673
02:46:34,658 --> 02:46:36,285
Wound #3.
2674
02:46:36,660 --> 02:46:41,456
The bullet then heads down at an angle
of 27 degrees, shattering his rib...
2675
02:46:42,165 --> 02:46:46,296
...and exiting from the right
side of his chest. Wound #4.
2676
02:46:46,671 --> 02:46:51,301
The bullet turns right, reentering
Connally's body at his right wrist.
2677
02:46:52,093 --> 02:46:53,761
Wound #5.
2678
02:46:54,095 --> 02:46:56,097
Shattering the radius bone...
2679
02:46:56,306 --> 02:46:58,933
...the bullet exits
Connally's wrist, wound #6...
2680
02:46:59,475 --> 02:47:04,188
...makes a dramatic U-turn, then buries
itself in Connally's left thigh.
2681
02:47:04,397 --> 02:47:07,609
Wound #7, from which
it later falls out...
2682
02:47:07,942 --> 02:47:10,863
...and is found in almost
pristine condition...
2683
02:47:11,113 --> 02:47:14,200
...on a stretcher in a
corridor of Parkland hospital.
2684
02:47:16,619 --> 02:47:18,245
Some bullet.
2685
02:47:19,872 --> 02:47:22,958
Any combat vet can tell you never
in the history of gunfire...
2686
02:47:23,125 --> 02:47:25,794
...has there been a
bullet this ridiculous.
2687
02:47:26,712 --> 02:47:31,508
The government says it can prove it with
some fancy physics in a nuclear lab.
2688
02:47:31,884 --> 02:47:33,510
Of course they can.
2689
02:47:33,802 --> 02:47:36,973
Theoretical physics can prove an
elephant can hang from a cliff...
2690
02:47:37,140 --> 02:47:39,351
...with his tail tied to a daisy.
2691
02:47:40,060 --> 02:47:42,812
But use your eyes, your common sense.
2692
02:47:43,146 --> 02:47:47,651
The Army wound ballistics experts
fired some comparison bullets.
2693
02:47:47,901 --> 02:47:50,529
Not one of them looked
anything like this.
2694
02:47:51,446 --> 02:47:53,114
Take a look at CE-856.
2695
02:47:55,116 --> 02:47:56,785
An identical bullet...
2696
02:47:57,244 --> 02:47:59,746
...fired through the
wrist of a human cadaver.
2697
02:48:00,413 --> 02:48:03,751
...just one of the bones
smashed by the magic bullet.
2698
02:48:04,460 --> 02:48:06,295
Seven wounds, gentlemen.
2699
02:48:06,796 --> 02:48:08,131
Tough skin...
2700
02:48:08,422 --> 02:48:10,091
...dense bones.
2701
02:48:11,092 --> 02:48:13,302
This single bullet explanation...
2702
02:48:13,469 --> 02:48:17,640
...is the foundation of the Warren
Commission's claim of one assassin.
2703
02:48:17,974 --> 02:48:19,642
And once you conclude...
2704
02:48:19,809 --> 02:48:22,478
...the magic bullet couldn't
create all 7 wounds...
2705
02:48:22,937 --> 02:48:26,899
...you must conclude there was a
fourth shot and a second rifleman.
2706
02:48:28,276 --> 02:48:30,320
And if there was a second rifleman...
2707
02:48:31,155 --> 02:48:34,491
...then by definition there
had to be a conspiracy...
2708
02:48:34,783 --> 02:48:37,995
...which we believe involves
the accused, Clay Shaw.
2709
02:48:38,954 --> 02:48:43,667
51 witnesses thought they heard shots
from the grassy knoll...
2710
02:48:44,293 --> 02:48:47,629
...which is to the right,
in front of the President.
2711
02:48:48,839 --> 02:48:50,632
Key witnesses that day?
2712
02:48:50,966 --> 02:48:53,469
Charles Brehm, a combat vet.
2713
02:48:54,636 --> 02:48:56,806
And Jean Hill and Mary Moorman.
2714
02:48:57,140 --> 02:48:59,809
S. M. Holland, Richard Dodd,
James Simmons...
2715
02:49:00,351 --> 02:49:02,312
...standing on the overpass.
J.C. Price...
2716
02:49:02,812 --> 02:49:04,522
...overlooking the plaza.
2717
02:49:05,315 --> 02:49:07,692
William Newman, father of two children.
2718
02:49:08,193 --> 02:49:10,653
He hit the deck on
the north side of Elm.
2719
02:49:12,322 --> 02:49:13,990
Abraham Zapruder.
2720
02:49:30,383 --> 02:49:33,511
Each of these key witnesses
has no doubt whatsoever...
2721
02:49:33,678 --> 02:49:36,847
...one or more shots came
from behind the picket fence.
2722
02:49:37,682 --> 02:49:41,394
26 trained medical
personnel at Parkland Hospital...
2723
02:49:41,560 --> 02:49:45,523
...saw the back of the
President's head blasted out!
2724
02:49:47,191 --> 02:49:48,860
Doctor Peters.
2725
02:49:49,361 --> 02:49:53,865
There was a large 7-centimeter opening
at the right occipital parietal area.
2726
02:49:54,074 --> 02:49:57,035
A considerable portion of
the brain was missing.
2727
02:49:58,745 --> 02:50:03,583
A fifth or possibly a quarter of the
back of the head had been blasted out...
2728
02:50:03,750 --> 02:50:06,253
...along with the
underlying brain tissue.
2729
02:50:06,420 --> 02:50:08,922
When's the proper time
to declare one dead?
2730
02:50:09,089 --> 02:50:12,926
There was also a large fragment of
skull attached to a flap of the scalp.
2731
02:50:13,260 --> 02:50:17,265
The exit hole in the rear of his head
measured about 120 millimeters...
2732
02:50:17,557 --> 02:50:19,100
...or five inches across.
2733
02:50:19,267 --> 02:50:23,271
Not one of the civilian doctors
who examined the President...
2734
02:50:23,563 --> 02:50:26,900
...regarded his throat wound as
anything but an entry wound.
2735
02:50:27,734 --> 02:50:31,237
But then the body was illegally
moved to Washington for the autopsy.
2736
02:50:31,404 --> 02:50:33,573
Because when a coup d'etat
has occurred...
2737
02:50:33,740 --> 02:50:37,952
...there's a big difference between an
autopsy performed by civilian doctors...
2738
02:50:38,244 --> 02:50:41,790
...and one that is performed by
military doctors under orders.
2739
02:50:42,958 --> 02:50:47,254
The departure of Air Force One
on Friday was not so much a takeoff...
2740
02:50:47,421 --> 02:50:51,133
...as it was a getaway, with
the newly sworn in President.
2741
02:50:51,300 --> 02:50:52,593
Objection!
2742
02:50:52,760 --> 02:50:53,802
Sustained.
2743
02:50:53,969 --> 02:50:58,098
On the plane, the White House Situation
Room announced Oswald's guilt...
2744
02:50:58,265 --> 02:51:02,311
...to all passengers before any
kind of investigation had begun.
2745
02:51:02,603 --> 02:51:05,439
The "angry lone nut" solution
is beginning to take shape.
2746
02:51:05,607 --> 02:51:08,610
- Objection, Your Honor.
- Sustained.
2747
02:51:09,945 --> 02:51:11,655
Please bottle the acid.
2748
02:51:13,782 --> 02:51:18,620
The three Bethesda doctors picked by the
military left something to be desired.
2749
02:51:18,787 --> 02:51:22,457
None of them had experience
with combat gunfire wounds.
2750
02:51:22,833 --> 02:51:27,337
Through their autopsy, we've been able
to justify 8 wounds from two bullets.
2751
02:51:27,629 --> 02:51:30,006
Three to Kennedy, five to Connally.
2752
02:51:30,298 --> 02:51:32,468
One of them being the "magic bullet."
2753
02:51:32,677 --> 02:51:34,011
- FBI?
- Here.
2754
02:51:34,262 --> 02:51:38,099
Col. Finck, are you saying someone
told you not to dissect the neck?
2755
02:51:38,307 --> 02:51:40,685
I was told the family wanted
the examination of the head.
2756
02:51:41,853 --> 02:51:43,146
Oh, Christ.
2757
02:51:43,312 --> 02:51:44,981
Looks like half his brain is gone.
2758
02:51:45,148 --> 02:51:47,358
- Weigh it.
- 653 grams.
2759
02:51:47,650 --> 02:51:50,820
As a pathologist, it was your
obligation to explore...
2760
02:51:50,987 --> 02:51:52,822
...all possible causes of death.
2761
02:51:52,989 --> 02:51:54,490
I had the cause of death.
2762
02:51:54,657 --> 02:51:58,328
Your Honor, please direct the
witness to answer my question.
2763
02:51:58,829 --> 02:52:01,999
Why did Col. Finck not dissect
the tract of the bullet wound?
2764
02:52:02,166 --> 02:52:04,168
I heard Dr. Humes stating...
2765
02:52:04,376 --> 02:52:06,503
That's enough. That's enough.
2766
02:52:06,837 --> 02:52:08,213
It's duly noted.
2767
02:52:08,505 --> 02:52:10,507
Let's check the back.
2768
02:52:17,848 --> 02:52:20,684
I can feel the end of
the wound with my finger.
2769
02:52:20,893 --> 02:52:22,853
That won't be necessary.
2770
02:52:25,190 --> 02:52:26,858
Watch the ear!
2771
02:52:27,901 --> 02:52:30,236
Shot in the back. Cheap crime.
2772
02:52:30,737 --> 02:52:31,738
He said:
2773
02:52:31,905 --> 02:52:33,740
Who's in charge here?
2774
02:52:34,199 --> 02:52:35,241
I am.
2775
02:52:36,242 --> 02:52:37,869
I don't remember his name.
2776
02:52:38,536 --> 02:52:40,246
It was quite crowded.
2777
02:52:40,413 --> 02:52:44,084
And when you are called to look at
the wounds of the dead President...
2778
02:52:44,250 --> 02:52:47,420
...you don't ask people for
their names and who they are.
2779
02:52:48,046 --> 02:52:52,259
But you were a qualified pathologist.
Was the Army General?
2780
02:52:53,886 --> 02:52:55,388
But you took his orders.
2781
02:52:56,931 --> 02:52:59,392
So he was directing the autopsy.
2782
02:52:59,725 --> 02:53:01,394
There were others.
2783
02:53:02,561 --> 02:53:04,397
There were Admirals.
2784
02:53:05,439 --> 02:53:08,943
When you're a Lieutenant
Colonel, you follow orders.
2785
02:53:09,402 --> 02:53:14,073
It is not our business to discuss
this with anyone outside this room.
2786
02:53:14,407 --> 02:53:17,119
As I recall, Admiral Kenney,
Navy Surgeon General...
2787
02:53:17,452 --> 02:53:20,747
...specifically told us
not to discuss the case.
2788
02:53:23,458 --> 02:53:26,795
A lot of people were
deciding what was private...
2789
02:53:27,087 --> 02:53:29,423
...none of the American
people's business.
2790
02:53:29,798 --> 02:53:32,092
The chief pathologist,
Commander Humes...
2791
02:53:32,259 --> 02:53:35,595
...by his own admission,
voluntarily burns his autopsy notes.
2792
02:53:35,971 --> 02:53:38,473
President Johnson orders the
blood soaked limousine...
2793
02:53:38,640 --> 02:53:42,103
...filled with bullet holes and
clues to be washed and rebuilt.
2794
02:53:42,604 --> 02:53:46,149
He sends Connally's bloody
suit to the cleaners.
2795
02:53:46,608 --> 02:53:51,112
The Justice Department denied this
office access to the autopsy photos.
2796
02:53:51,779 --> 02:53:56,326
When we finally get a court order
to examine Kennedy's brain...
2797
02:53:56,618 --> 02:53:59,120
...in the hopes of finding from
which direction the bullet came...
2798
02:53:59,996 --> 02:54:01,331
...we're told...
2799
02:54:02,165 --> 02:54:06,169
...by your government that the
President's brain has disappeared.
2800
02:54:09,632 --> 02:54:13,177
That's not all that's disappeared.
With it, the concept of justice.
2801
02:54:13,427 --> 02:54:17,514
Objection. Mr. Garrison is
insulting the federal government.
2802
02:54:19,350 --> 02:54:20,976
Overruled!
2803
02:54:27,191 --> 02:54:29,527
So, what really happened that day?
2804
02:54:29,985 --> 02:54:32,696
Let's just for a moment
speculate, shall we?
2805
02:54:33,155 --> 02:54:35,325
We have the epileptic seizure...
2806
02:54:35,534 --> 02:54:39,830
...distracting the police and allowing
the shooters to get into place.
2807
02:54:41,039 --> 02:54:45,168
The epileptic later vanished,
never checking into the hospital.
2808
02:54:46,336 --> 02:54:49,381
The A-team goes to the 6th
floor of the Depository.
2809
02:54:49,548 --> 02:54:52,551
They were refurbishing the floors
of the Depository that week...
2810
02:54:52,843 --> 02:54:55,220
...allowing unknown
workmen in the building.
2811
02:54:56,221 --> 02:55:00,183
They move quickly into position
minutes before the shooting.
2812
02:55:00,393 --> 02:55:05,022
The second spotter, talking by radio to
the other teams, has the best overall view.
2813
02:55:05,398 --> 02:55:06,399
The God spot.
2814
02:55:07,191 --> 02:55:11,696
B-team, one rifleman and one spotter
with access to the building...
2815
02:55:12,071 --> 02:55:15,241
...moves into a low floor
of the Dal-Tex Building.
2816
02:55:16,033 --> 02:55:20,872
The third team, C-team, moves in behind
the fence above the grassy knoll...
2817
02:55:21,080 --> 02:55:25,543
...where the shooter and the spotter
are first seen by the late Lee Bowers.
2818
02:55:26,420 --> 02:55:28,422
They have the best position.
2819
02:55:29,047 --> 02:55:32,718
Kennedy is close and on
a flat low trajectory.
2820
02:55:32,926 --> 02:55:34,553
Part of this team is a coordinator...
2821
02:55:34,762 --> 02:55:39,099
...who flashed security credentials at
people, chasing them from the area.
2822
02:55:40,225 --> 02:55:42,936
Probably two to three more
men are in the crowd.
2823
02:55:44,563 --> 02:55:48,067
10 to 12 men.
Three teams. Three shooters.
2824
02:55:48,442 --> 02:55:53,114
The triangulation of fire Clay Shaw and
David Ferrie discussed 2 months before.
2825
02:55:54,282 --> 02:55:56,117
They blocked the Plaza.
2826
02:55:56,284 --> 02:55:58,119
They know every inch.
2827
02:56:00,413 --> 02:56:04,125
They've calibrated their sights.
Practiced on moving targets.
2828
02:56:04,918 --> 02:56:05,960
They're ready.
2829
02:56:07,128 --> 02:56:10,799
Kennedy's motorcade makes a
turn from Main onto Houston.
2830
02:56:11,257 --> 02:56:13,134
It's going to be a turkey shoot.
2831
02:56:14,969 --> 02:56:16,971
They don't shoot him on Houston...
2832
02:56:17,138 --> 02:56:20,309
...the easiest shot for a single
shooter in the Depository.
2833
02:56:20,935 --> 02:56:24,730
They wait till he gets to the
killing zone between 3 rifles.
2834
02:56:25,940 --> 02:56:28,985
Kennedy makes the turn
from Houston onto Elm.
2835
02:56:29,819 --> 02:56:33,155
Slowing down to some 11 miles an hour.
2836
02:56:33,948 --> 02:56:38,119
The shooters across Dealey
Plaza tighten, taking their aim.
2837
02:56:39,662 --> 02:56:42,957
Waiting for the radio to say,
"Green! Green!"
2838
02:56:43,791 --> 02:56:46,295
Or, "Abort! Abort!"
2839
02:56:52,342 --> 02:56:53,844
The first shot rings out.
2840
02:56:55,012 --> 02:56:58,140
Sounding like a backfire,
it misses the car completely.
2841
02:56:59,016 --> 02:57:02,144
Frame 161, Kennedy stops
waving as he hears something.
2842
02:57:02,477 --> 02:57:05,147
Connally's head turns
slightly to the right.
2843
02:57:05,355 --> 02:57:09,026
Frame 193, the second shot hits
Kennedy in the throat from the front.
2844
02:57:09,985 --> 02:57:13,323
Frame 225, Kennedy emerges
from behind the road sign.
2845
02:57:13,656 --> 02:57:17,493
He's been hit, raising
his hands to his throat.
2846
02:57:17,702 --> 02:57:20,496
The third shot, frame 232...
2847
02:57:20,705 --> 02:57:23,499
...hits Kennedy in the back,
pulling him downward and forward.
2848
02:57:24,167 --> 02:57:27,337
Connally, you will notice,
shows no sign of being hit.
2849
02:57:27,545 --> 02:57:31,841
He is holding his Stetson, which is
impossible if his wrist is shattered.
2850
02:57:32,008 --> 02:57:33,843
Connally is turning now.
2851
02:57:34,010 --> 02:57:35,887
Frame 238. The fourth shot.
2852
02:57:36,179 --> 02:57:39,516
It misses Kennedy and
takes Connally in the back.
2853
02:57:39,725 --> 02:57:42,728
This is the shot that proves
there were two rifles.
2854
02:57:42,895 --> 02:57:46,398
Connally yells, "My God!
They're going to kill us all!"
2855
02:57:46,732 --> 02:57:49,693
Around this time, another shot
misses the car completely...
2856
02:57:50,027 --> 02:57:52,571
...striking James Tague
by the underpass.
2857
02:57:53,531 --> 02:57:54,740
The car brakes.
2858
02:57:55,032 --> 02:57:56,700
The sixth and fatal shot.
2859
02:57:56,909 --> 02:58:00,538
Frame 313, takes Kennedy in the head
from the front.
2860
02:58:02,039 --> 02:58:03,708
This is the key shot.
2861
02:58:04,209 --> 02:58:07,379
The President going
back and to his left...
2862
02:58:07,587 --> 02:58:09,381
...shot from the front and right.
2863
02:58:10,549 --> 02:58:13,927
Totally inconsistent with
the shot from the Depository.
2864
02:58:14,094 --> 02:58:14,719
Again.
2865
02:58:19,266 --> 02:58:21,601
Back, and to the left.
2866
02:58:22,435 --> 02:58:24,271
Back, and to the left.
2867
02:58:25,564 --> 02:58:27,566
Back, and to the left.
2868
02:58:29,735 --> 02:58:31,571
So what happens then?
2869
02:58:34,073 --> 02:58:35,283
Pandemonium.
2870
02:58:38,119 --> 02:58:40,079
Let's go! We got him!
2871
02:58:45,793 --> 02:58:50,590
The shooters quickly disassemble their
various weapons, except the Oswald rifle.
2872
02:59:01,477 --> 02:59:04,938
Patrolman Smith rushes to the
parking lot behind the fence.
2873
02:59:05,606 --> 02:59:07,149
He smells gunpowder.
2874
02:59:07,316 --> 02:59:11,487
He produced credentials showing
him to be Secret Service.
2875
02:59:12,154 --> 02:59:14,823
Let's see your ID.
See anyone else up here?
2876
02:59:15,783 --> 02:59:19,119
I accepted that and let him go.
2877
02:59:19,495 --> 02:59:21,831
I regretted it.
He looked like a mechanic.
2878
02:59:22,957 --> 02:59:27,670
He had on a sports shirt and pants,
but he had dirty fingernails.
2879
02:59:28,963 --> 02:59:31,966
Afterward, it didn't ring true.
But at the time...
2880
02:59:32,342 --> 02:59:34,177
...we were so pressed for time.
2881
02:59:34,844 --> 02:59:37,847
All Secret Servicemen in
Dallas were accounted for.
2882
02:59:38,848 --> 02:59:42,685
None were on foot in Dealey Plaza
before or after the shooting...
2883
02:59:42,852 --> 02:59:46,356
...till the Dallas Secret Service chief
returned at 12:55.
2884
02:59:46,856 --> 02:59:50,987
The Dallas police took at
least 12 people into custody.
2885
02:59:51,529 --> 02:59:53,197
No record of their arrest.
2886
02:59:53,364 --> 02:59:56,867
Men acting like hoboes
were pulled off trains...
2887
02:59:57,034 --> 02:59:59,495
...marched through Dealey
Plaza, photographed.
2888
02:59:59,662 --> 03:00:01,831
Yet there's no record of their arrest.
2889
03:00:01,998 --> 03:00:05,876
Men identifying themselves as Secret
Service agents were everywhere.
2890
03:00:06,669 --> 03:00:08,379
But who was impersonating them?
2891
03:00:09,005 --> 03:00:10,548
Where was Oswald?
2892
03:00:11,215 --> 03:00:14,553
Around 12:15, leaving the
building to see the motorcade...
2893
03:00:15,178 --> 03:00:18,682
...Carolyn Arnold sees Oswald
in the 2nd-floor snacking...
2894
03:00:18,890 --> 03:00:21,059
...where he said he went for a Coke.
2895
03:00:21,685 --> 03:00:25,022
He was in a booth on the
right side of the room.
2896
03:00:25,397 --> 03:00:29,192
He was by himself as usual,
appeared to be having lunch.
2897
03:00:29,401 --> 03:00:32,404
I didn't speak to him, but
I recognized him clearly.
2898
03:00:33,739 --> 03:00:38,410
At the same time, Bonnie Ray Williams is
supposedly eating lunch in the 6th floor.
2899
03:00:38,577 --> 03:00:41,581
He's there until 12:15, maybe 12:20.
2900
03:00:41,748 --> 03:00:43,374
He sees nobody.
2901
03:00:43,750 --> 03:00:48,421
Arnold Rowlands, on the street, looks up,
sees two men in the 6th-floor windows...
2902
03:00:48,588 --> 03:00:52,216
...presumably after Williams
finished lunch and left.
2903
03:00:52,425 --> 03:00:56,262
John Powell, a prisoner on the 6th
floor of the county jail, sees them.
2904
03:00:56,429 --> 03:00:58,056
Many of us saw them.
2905
03:00:58,222 --> 03:01:02,435
Everyone was hollering and yelling.
We thought they was security guys.
2906
03:01:02,602 --> 03:01:07,274
If Oswald was the assassin, he was
nonchalant about moving into position.
2907
03:01:07,900 --> 03:01:11,779
Later, he told police he was
in the 2nd- floor snack room.
2908
03:01:11,946 --> 03:01:15,115
Probably told to wait there
by his handler for a call.
2909
03:01:16,575 --> 03:01:18,619
But the phone call never came.
2910
03:01:19,245 --> 03:01:21,914
Maximum 90 seconds
after Kennedy's shot...
2911
03:01:22,081 --> 03:01:26,252
...patrolman Marrion Baker sees
Oswald in that 2nd-floor lunchroom.
2912
03:01:27,419 --> 03:01:29,129
Is this man an employee?
2913
03:01:29,296 --> 03:01:31,925
Yes. The President's been shot.
2914
03:01:32,133 --> 03:01:34,469
The Commission would have us believe...
2915
03:01:34,761 --> 03:01:38,098
...that after firing 3 bolt-action
shots in 5.6 seconds...
2916
03:01:38,265 --> 03:01:42,811
...Oswald then leaves 3 cartridges
neatly side-by-side in the firing nest...
2917
03:01:42,978 --> 03:01:47,607
...wipes fingerprints off the rifle,
stashes it on the other side of the loft...
2918
03:01:48,608 --> 03:01:50,819
...sprints down 5 flights of stairs...
2919
03:01:50,986 --> 03:01:54,489
...past Victoria Adams and Sandra
Styles who never see him...
2920
03:01:55,323 --> 03:01:59,787
...then shows up, cool and calm, on the
2nd floor in front of Patrolman Baker.
2921
03:02:01,164 --> 03:02:04,500
All this within a maximum of
90 seconds of the shooting.
2922
03:02:05,001 --> 03:02:07,128
Is this man an employee?
2923
03:02:07,295 --> 03:02:09,172
Yes. The President's been shot.
2924
03:02:09,338 --> 03:02:10,798
Is he out of breath?
2925
03:02:11,340 --> 03:02:14,302
According to Baker, absolutely not.
2926
03:02:14,469 --> 03:02:19,307
Assuming he is the sole assassin,
Oswald is free to leave the building.
2927
03:02:19,849 --> 03:02:24,813
The longer he delays, the more chance
the building will be sealed by police.
2928
03:02:25,147 --> 03:02:29,151
Is he guilty? Does he walk
out the nearest staircase?
2929
03:02:30,652 --> 03:02:32,529
He buys a Coke...
2930
03:02:32,696 --> 03:02:36,992
...and at a slow pace, spotted
by Mrs. Reid on the 2nd floor...
2931
03:02:37,201 --> 03:02:40,037
...he strolls out the more
distant front exit...
2932
03:02:40,204 --> 03:02:42,164
...where cops have gathered.
2933
03:02:42,331 --> 03:02:45,000
Odd, since 3 shots were
fired from there...
2934
03:02:45,167 --> 03:02:48,045
...nobody seals the Depository
for 10 more minutes.
2935
03:02:48,212 --> 03:02:51,174
Oswald slips out, as do
several other employees.
2936
03:02:51,383 --> 03:02:55,512
When he realized something had gone
wrong and Kennedy had been killed...
2937
03:02:56,012 --> 03:02:59,849
...he knew there was a problem.
Maybe even that he was the patsy.
2938
03:03:00,392 --> 03:03:04,896
An intuition, maybe. The President
killed in spite of his warning.
2939
03:03:05,188 --> 03:03:06,564
The phone call that never came.
2940
03:03:06,731 --> 03:03:10,193
Perhaps fear now came to Oswald
for the very first time.
2941
03:03:11,695 --> 03:03:15,532
Oswald returns to his rooming
house around 1:00 p.m...
2942
03:03:15,740 --> 03:03:17,410
...a half hour after the assassination.
2943
03:03:17,702 --> 03:03:19,412
A man shot the President!
2944
03:03:19,578 --> 03:03:22,581
He puts on his jacket,
grabs his .38 revolver...
2945
03:03:22,748 --> 03:03:24,750
...and leaves at 1:04.
2946
03:03:25,084 --> 03:03:29,088
Earlene Roberts, the housekeeper,
heard two beeps on a car horn.
2947
03:03:29,380 --> 03:03:32,383
Two uniformed cops pulled up
while Oswald was in his room.
2948
03:03:32,550 --> 03:03:33,926
Like it was a signal.
2949
03:03:34,593 --> 03:03:38,931
Officer Tippit is shot between
1:10 and 1:15, a mile away.
2950
03:03:39,223 --> 03:03:42,227
And though no one saw him walking...
2951
03:03:42,436 --> 03:03:44,730
...the government says Oswald
covered that distance.
2952
03:03:44,938 --> 03:03:47,607
Giving the government the
benefit of the doubt...
2953
03:03:47,774 --> 03:03:50,611
...Oswald would have had to jog
a mile in 6 to 11 minutes...
2954
03:03:50,777 --> 03:03:52,279
...then commit the murder...
2955
03:03:52,446 --> 03:03:56,116
...and walk 3/5ths of a mile
to the Texas Theater...
2956
03:03:56,783 --> 03:04:00,287
...and arrive sometime before 1:30.
2957
03:04:04,791 --> 03:04:06,585
It's also a useful conclusion.
2958
03:04:06,793 --> 03:04:09,297
After all, why would Oswald
kill Officer Tippit...
2959
03:04:09,464 --> 03:04:11,925
...unless he just shot the
President and feared arrest?
2960
03:04:12,967 --> 03:04:14,969
Domingo Benevides...
2961
03:04:16,596 --> 03:04:18,598
...the closest witness
to the shooting...
2962
03:04:18,765 --> 03:04:22,268
...refuses to identify Oswald as the
killer and was never taken to a line-up.
2963
03:04:23,645 --> 03:04:24,771
Acquilla Clemons...
2964
03:04:24,938 --> 03:04:28,316
...saw the killer and another man
go off in separate directions.
2965
03:04:28,608 --> 03:04:32,737
Mrs. Clemons was never taken to a
line- up or to the Warren Commission.
2966
03:04:33,279 --> 03:04:36,951
At the scene, Officer Poe marks
his initials on the shells...
2967
03:04:37,117 --> 03:04:39,119
...to record the chain of evidence.
2968
03:04:40,162 --> 03:04:42,998
Those initials are not on
the 3 cartridge cases...
2969
03:04:43,165 --> 03:04:45,668
...which the Warren Commission
present to him.
2970
03:04:45,834 --> 03:04:50,297
As early as 12:44, only 14
minutes after the assassination...
2971
03:04:50,506 --> 03:04:54,969
...the police put out a description
matching Oswald's size and build.
2972
03:04:55,135 --> 03:04:59,473
Oswald is next seen by a shoe salesman,
Johnny Brewer, on Jefferson Avenue.
2973
03:05:00,809 --> 03:05:05,480
Oswald is scared. He begins to realize
the full implications of this thing.
2974
03:05:05,689 --> 03:05:09,192
He goes to the Texas Theater,
possibly a prearranged meeting point.
2975
03:05:09,484 --> 03:05:14,322
Though he has $14 in his pocket,
he doesn't buy the 75c ticket.
2976
03:05:14,656 --> 03:05:17,200
Brewer has the cashier call the police.
2977
03:05:17,492 --> 03:05:19,661
In response to that call...
2978
03:05:19,828 --> 03:05:24,332
...at least 30 officers in patrol
cars descend on the movie theater.
2979
03:05:24,499 --> 03:05:27,837
This is the most remarkable
example of police intuition...
2980
03:05:28,004 --> 03:05:30,173
...since the Reichstag fire.
2981
03:05:30,882 --> 03:05:31,883
I don't buy it!
2982
03:05:32,341 --> 03:05:36,512
They knew. Someone knew
Oswald would be there.
2983
03:05:37,054 --> 03:05:39,390
Brewer leads the cops
into the theater...
2984
03:05:39,557 --> 03:05:42,226
...and from the stage,
points Oswald out.
2985
03:05:55,240 --> 03:05:57,701
Sir, can I get you to stand up?
2986
03:06:03,540 --> 03:06:08,045
I am not resisting arrest!
I am not resisting arrest!
2987
03:06:08,212 --> 03:06:09,588
They have their man.
2988
03:06:10,589 --> 03:06:13,884
It's already been decided in Washington.
2989
03:06:14,259 --> 03:06:16,887
When he is brought from the theater...
2990
03:06:17,054 --> 03:06:19,432
...a crowd is waiting to scream at him.
2991
03:06:19,724 --> 03:06:23,103
Lee Oswald must have felt like
Joseph K. in Kafka's "The Trial."
2992
03:06:23,269 --> 03:06:25,772
He's never given reasons for his arrest.
2993
03:06:25,939 --> 03:06:29,109
He doesn't know the unseen
forces ranging against him.
2994
03:06:29,442 --> 03:06:33,279
At police headquarters, he was
booked for murdering Tippet.
2995
03:06:33,446 --> 03:06:35,281
No legal counsel is provided.
2996
03:06:35,448 --> 03:06:37,617
No record made of the questioning.
2997
03:06:37,784 --> 03:06:40,453
When the sun rises the next morning...
2998
03:06:40,620 --> 03:06:43,081
...he is booked for
murdering the President.
2999
03:06:43,248 --> 03:06:47,461
The whole country, fueled by
the media, assumes he is guilty.
3000
03:06:47,920 --> 03:06:50,631
Under the guise of a
patriotic club owner...
3001
03:06:50,798 --> 03:06:54,135
...out to spare Jackie Kennedy
from testifying at a trial...
3002
03:06:54,301 --> 03:06:56,804
...Jack Ruby is let into a garage...
3003
03:06:56,971 --> 03:07:00,307
...by one of his inside
men on the police force.
3004
03:07:00,599 --> 03:07:04,478
Oswald is brought out like
a sacrificial lamb...
3005
03:07:04,770 --> 03:07:07,940
...and nicely disposed of
as an enemy of the people.
3006
03:07:26,335 --> 03:07:28,462
Who grieves for Lee Harvey Oswald...
3007
03:07:29,171 --> 03:07:32,299
...buried in a cheap grave
under the name Oswald?
3008
03:07:33,175 --> 03:07:34,176
Nobody.
3009
03:07:42,310 --> 03:07:46,481
False statements and press leaks
about Oswald circulate the globe.
3010
03:07:47,690 --> 03:07:51,027
The official legend is created
and the media takes it from there.
3011
03:07:52,654 --> 03:07:56,699
The glitter of official lies and the
epic splendor of JFK's funeral...
3012
03:07:56,866 --> 03:08:00,536
...confuse the eye and
confound the understanding.
3013
03:08:01,204 --> 03:08:03,040
Hitler said:
3014
03:08:03,332 --> 03:08:07,002
"The bigger the lie, the more
people will believe it."
3015
03:08:08,003 --> 03:08:11,674
Lee Harvey Oswald, a crazed lonely
man who wanted attention...
3016
03:08:11,840 --> 03:08:16,554
...and got it by killing a President was
only the first in a long line of patsies.
3017
03:08:16,845 --> 03:08:19,557
In later years, Bobby Kennedy,
Martin Luther King...
3018
03:08:19,723 --> 03:08:22,518
...men whose commitment
to change and peace...
3019
03:08:22,685 --> 03:08:26,355
...made them dangerous to men
committed to war, would follow...
3020
03:08:26,730 --> 03:08:30,026
...also killed by such
lonely crazed men.
3021
03:08:30,694 --> 03:08:35,407
Men who remove all guilt by making
murder a meaningless act of a loner.
3022
03:08:36,241 --> 03:08:40,412
We've all become Hamlets in our country,
children of a slain father-leader...
3023
03:08:40,579 --> 03:08:42,914
...whose killers still
possess the throne.
3024
03:08:43,540 --> 03:08:47,377
The ghost of John F. Kennedy
confronts us with the secret murder...
3025
03:08:47,544 --> 03:08:49,588
...at the heart of the American Dream.
3026
03:08:49,754 --> 03:08:54,426
He forces on us the appalling questions:
Of what is our Constitution made?
3027
03:08:54,886 --> 03:08:57,263
What are our lives worth?
3028
03:08:57,430 --> 03:08:59,432
What is the future of a democracy...
3029
03:08:59,599 --> 03:09:03,936
...where a President can be assassinated
under suspicious circumstances...
3030
03:09:04,103 --> 03:09:06,939
...while the machinery of
legal action scarcely trembles?
3031
03:09:08,107 --> 03:09:11,736
How many more political murders
disguised as heart attacks...
3032
03:09:11,944 --> 03:09:14,572
...suicides, cancers, drug overdoses?
3033
03:09:14,781 --> 03:09:17,450
How many plane and car
crashes will occur...
3034
03:09:17,617 --> 03:09:20,244
...before they are
exposed for what they are?
3035
03:09:21,747 --> 03:09:24,958
"Treason doth never prosper,"
wrote an English poet.
3036
03:09:25,459 --> 03:09:26,919
"What's the reason?"
3037
03:09:27,628 --> 03:09:30,089
"For if it prosper, none
dare call it treason."
3038
03:09:31,256 --> 03:09:34,259
The American public has yet
to see the Zapruder film.
3039
03:09:34,760 --> 03:09:35,803
Why?
3040
03:09:36,428 --> 03:09:40,641
The American public has yet to see
the real X-rays and autopsy pictures.
3041
03:09:40,808 --> 03:09:41,767
Why?
3042
03:09:42,643 --> 03:09:45,938
Hundreds of documents could
help prove this conspiracy.
3043
03:09:46,105 --> 03:09:49,109
Why are they being withheld
or burned by the government?
3044
03:09:50,110 --> 03:09:54,823
When my office or you, the people, asked
those questions, demanded evidence...
3045
03:09:54,989 --> 03:09:58,952
...the answer from on high
has always been: national security.
3046
03:09:59,828 --> 03:10:03,998
What kind of national security do we
have when we're robbed of our leaders?
3047
03:10:04,457 --> 03:10:06,835
What national security
permits the removal...
3048
03:10:07,001 --> 03:10:09,671
...of fundamental power
from the people...
3049
03:10:09,838 --> 03:10:14,010
...and validates the ascendancy of
invisible government in the U.S.?
3050
03:10:14,969 --> 03:10:17,013
That kind of national security...
3051
03:10:17,179 --> 03:10:20,975
...when it smells like it, feels
like it, and looks like it...
3052
03:10:21,142 --> 03:10:23,185
...you call it what it is:
3053
03:10:23,352 --> 03:10:24,812
Fascism!
3054
03:10:26,856 --> 03:10:30,985
I submit to you that what took
place on November 22, 1963...
3055
03:10:31,193 --> 03:10:33,529
...was a coup d'etat.
3056
03:10:34,363 --> 03:10:36,699
Its most direct and tragic result...
3057
03:10:36,866 --> 03:10:40,871
...was the reversal of Kennedy's
decision to withdraw from Vietnam.
3058
03:10:42,164 --> 03:10:44,875
The war is the biggest
business in America...
3059
03:10:45,042 --> 03:10:47,711
...with 80 billion dollars a year.
3060
03:10:48,170 --> 03:10:51,048
President Kennedy was
murdered by a conspiracy...
3061
03:10:51,214 --> 03:10:54,051
...planned at the highest
levels of government...
3062
03:10:54,217 --> 03:10:57,721
...carried out by fanatical and
disciplined cold warriors...
3063
03:10:57,888 --> 03:11:01,391
...in the Pentagon and CIA's
covert operation apparatus.
3064
03:11:01,558 --> 03:11:04,394
Among them, Clay Shaw, here before you.
3065
03:11:04,853 --> 03:11:08,191
It was a public execution,
and it was covered up by...
3066
03:11:08,358 --> 03:11:11,027
...like-minded people
in the Dallas police...
3067
03:11:11,236 --> 03:11:14,364
...the Secret Service, the FBI,
and the White House...
3068
03:11:14,530 --> 03:11:19,077
...up to and including J. Edgar Hoover,
and Lyndon Johnson...
3069
03:11:19,244 --> 03:11:21,246
...who were accomplices after the fact.
3070
03:11:22,038 --> 03:11:26,542
The assassination reduced the
President to a transient official.
3071
03:11:27,210 --> 03:11:32,091
His job is to speak as often as possible
of the nation's desire for peace...
3072
03:11:32,591 --> 03:11:35,386
...while he acts as a business
agent in the Congress...
3073
03:11:35,553 --> 03:11:37,513
...for the military
and their contractors.
3074
03:11:39,723 --> 03:11:42,101
Some people say I'm crazy.
3075
03:11:43,269 --> 03:11:46,730
Southern caricature
seeking higher office.
3076
03:11:48,440 --> 03:11:51,402
There's a simple way to
determine if I am paranoid.
3077
03:11:51,944 --> 03:11:54,780
Ask the 2 men who profited
most from the assassination.
3078
03:11:54,947 --> 03:11:58,910
...former President Johnson and
your new President, Nixon...
3079
03:11:59,077 --> 03:12:03,915
...to release the 51 CIA documents
pertaining to Lee Oswald and Jack Ruby.
3080
03:12:04,457 --> 03:12:06,251
Or the secret CIA memo...
3081
03:12:06,418 --> 03:12:10,422
...on Oswald's activities in Russia that
was destroyed while being photocopied.
3082
03:12:10,922 --> 03:12:12,257
These documents are yours.
3083
03:12:13,425 --> 03:12:16,094
The people's property. You pay for it.
3084
03:12:16,636 --> 03:12:18,930
But as the government
sees you as children...
3085
03:12:19,097 --> 03:12:22,434
...who might be too disturbed
to face this reality...
3086
03:12:23,268 --> 03:12:25,813
...or because you might
lynch those involved...
3087
03:12:26,314 --> 03:12:29,484
...you cannot see these documents
for another 75 years.
3088
03:12:30,610 --> 03:12:32,278
I'm in my 40's...
3089
03:12:33,488 --> 03:12:36,491
...so I'll have shuffled off
this mortal coil by then.
3090
03:12:36,657 --> 03:12:41,329
But I'm telling my 8-year-old son
to keep himself physically fit...
3091
03:12:41,829 --> 03:12:45,833
...so that one glorious
September morning, in 2038...
3092
03:12:46,125 --> 03:12:50,839
...he can go to the National Archives
and learn what the CIA and FBI knew.
3093
03:12:52,466 --> 03:12:54,635
They may push it back then.
3094
03:12:54,843 --> 03:12:59,681
It may become a generational affair.
Questions passed from parent to child.
3095
03:12:59,848 --> 03:13:04,520
But some day, somewhere, someone
may find out the damn truth.
3096
03:13:04,812 --> 03:13:05,813
We better.
3097
03:13:07,314 --> 03:13:11,151
Or we might just as well build
ourselves another government...
3098
03:13:11,318 --> 03:13:15,699
...like the Declaration of Independence
says to, when the old one don't work.
3099
03:13:15,865 --> 03:13:17,617
Just a bit farther out West.
3100
03:13:19,202 --> 03:13:21,371
An American naturalist wrote:
3101
03:13:21,538 --> 03:13:24,708
"A patriot must always be
ready to defend his country...
3102
03:13:25,041 --> 03:13:26,876
...against its government."
3103
03:13:28,545 --> 03:13:30,380
I'd hate to be in your shoes today.
3104
03:13:31,506 --> 03:13:36,177
You have a lot to think about. You've
seen evidence the public hasn't seen.
3105
03:13:37,387 --> 03:13:40,014
Going back to when we were children...
3106
03:13:40,557 --> 03:13:43,185
...l think most of us in this court...
3107
03:13:43,352 --> 03:13:46,022
...thought justice came automatically.
3108
03:13:46,522 --> 03:13:48,566
That virtue was its own reward.
3109
03:13:48,733 --> 03:13:50,735
That good triumphs over evil.
3110
03:13:51,861 --> 03:13:54,739
But as we get older we
know this isn't true.
3111
03:13:55,573 --> 03:14:00,036
Individual human beings have to create
justice, and this is not easy...
3112
03:14:01,078 --> 03:14:04,248
...because the truth often
poses a threat to power...
3113
03:14:04,582 --> 03:14:07,543
...and we often have to fight
power at great risk to ourselves.
3114
03:14:08,420 --> 03:14:10,589
People like S.M. Holland...
3115
03:14:11,048 --> 03:14:12,549
...Lee Bowers...
3116
03:14:12,883 --> 03:14:14,593
...Jean Hill, Willie O'Keefe...
3117
03:14:14,760 --> 03:14:17,721
...have all taken that risk
and they've all come forward.
3118
03:14:18,430 --> 03:14:21,725
I have here some $8,000 in these
letters...
3119
03:14:22,267 --> 03:14:24,603
...sent from all over the country.
3120
03:14:24,770 --> 03:14:27,439
Quarters, dimes, dollars
from housewives...
3121
03:14:28,065 --> 03:14:31,401
...plumbers, car salesmen,
teachers, invalids.
3122
03:14:32,110 --> 03:14:35,573
These are people who cannot
afford to send money but do.
3123
03:14:36,407 --> 03:14:38,243
People who drive cabs...
3124
03:14:38,952 --> 03:14:40,578
...who nurse in hospitals...
3125
03:14:40,745 --> 03:14:43,456
...who see their kids go to Vietnam.
3126
03:14:44,415 --> 03:14:45,458
Why?
3127
03:14:46,918 --> 03:14:48,795
Because they care.
3128
03:14:49,295 --> 03:14:51,130
Because they want the truth.
3129
03:14:52,131 --> 03:14:54,259
Because they want their country back.
3130
03:14:54,425 --> 03:14:56,761
Because it still belongs to us...
3131
03:14:56,928 --> 03:15:00,307
...as long as the people fight
for what they believe in.
3132
03:15:03,143 --> 03:15:07,439
The truth is the most important value
we have because if it doesn't endure...
3133
03:15:08,607 --> 03:15:10,109
...if the government murders truth...
3134
03:15:10,317 --> 03:15:13,320
...if we cannot respect these people...
3135
03:15:13,654 --> 03:15:18,325
...then this is not the country I was
born in, or the country I want to die in.
3136
03:15:19,660 --> 03:15:20,995
Tennyson wrote:

"Authority forgets a dying king."

03:15:25,040 --> 03:15:27,711
This was never more true
than for John F. Kennedy...
3139
03:15:28,003 --> 03:15:31,339
...whose murder was probably one
of the most terrible moments...

03:15:36,344 --> 03:15:40,307
We, the people, the jury system
sitting in judgment on Clay Shaw...
3142
03:15:42,058 --> 03:15:43,727
...represent the hope...
3143

3144
03:15:47,689 --> 03:15:49,649
In discharging your duty...

3148

Do not forget...
3149
03:16:03,539 --> 03:16:05,374
...your dying king.
3150
03:16:06,876 --> 03:16:08,628
Show this world...
3151
03:16:09,045 --> 03:16:13,883
...this is still a government of the
people, for the people and by the people.
3152
03:16:16,385 --> 03:16:18,137
Nothing as long as you live...
3153
03:16:18,430 --> 03:16:20,432
...will ever be more important.
3154
03:16:23,727 --> 03:16:25,062
It's up to you.
3155
03:16:48,253 --> 03:16:50,714
Has the jury reached a verdict?
3156
03:16:50,922 --> 03:16:52,048
We have, Your Honor.
3157
03:16:52,298 --> 03:16:54,759
Please hand the verdict to the clerk.
3158
03:17:04,269 --> 03:17:06,896
Will the defendant please rise?
3159
03:17:11,027 --> 03:17:13,279
The clerk will now read the verdict.
3160
03:17:13,821 --> 03:17:17,616
New Orleans, Louisiana.
March 1, 1969.
3161
03:17:18,701 --> 03:17:23,205
We, the jury, find the defendant,
Clay Shaw, not guilty.
3162
03:17:45,187 --> 03:17:46,855
We believe there was a conspiracy.
3163
03:17:47,022 --> 03:17:49,858
Whether Shaw was a part of it
is another kettle of fish.
3164
03:17:50,150 --> 03:17:51,777
There's Jim!
3165
03:17:54,154 --> 03:17:58,992
Do you agree that this is a full
vindication of the Warren Commission?
3166
03:18:00,661 --> 03:18:03,998
It only proves you cannot
run an investigation.
