Infamous

en
00:01:32 Hi.
00:01:35 Okay, here she is, folks. Kitty Dean.
00:04:22 That a girl, Kitty.
00:05:27 It's 38 degrees in New York this morning.
00:06:04 Should I call and get our table for lunch?
00:06:10 Goodie-good.
00:06:12 And Big Mama? Bring lots of gossip.
00:06:16 Everything about him is designed to rivet:
00:06:21 The appearance, the demeanor,
00:06:25 The voice?
00:06:28 To the lucky person
00:06:31 ...I can only say imagine what
00:06:38 ...if a Brussels sprout could talk.
00:06:41 He's so magical...
00:06:44 ...you soon forget the most unforgettable
00:06:49 Here's a word I loathe: Eccentric.
00:06:52 Eccentric is a word that boring people use
00:06:57 A great many people think of me
00:07:01 ...when I have my shoes polished
00:07:05 ...top, sides and soles.
00:07:07 Some people think it eccentric...
00:07:09 ...that every morning I have my maid
00:07:13 When I told Truman I had my maid iron
00:07:17 Here's what he didn't say, "How eccentric."
00:07:20 Here's what he did say, "How wonderful!"
00:07:25 You can forgive a person a lot
00:07:29 He's loads of fun wherever you go.
00:07:32 He's the rarest thing in the world,
00:07:37 How could Leland
00:07:40 Even someone who doesn't speak
00:07:44 He listened to me the way you'd listen
00:07:47 ...just enough to hear
00:07:51 Oh, well. He's with Pamela,
00:07:56 Maybe you can...
00:07:57 ...but tout New York is dividing
00:08:01 Babe and I are the head Slimites.
00:08:04 Tru Heart.
00:08:07 Oh, have you heard about Tracy?
00:08:09 Yeah. Having her eyes done, I know.
00:08:11 Well, a little more than that.
00:08:16 Oh, who's the father?
00:08:19 Chas Fitzgerald.
00:08:22 Oh, perfect. Does Dick know?
00:08:24 I think she should just tell Dick it's his.
00:08:27 - She can't. Dick's infertile.
00:08:29 - Everybody knows that.
00:08:34 Did you see the paper?
00:08:36 Yes. There's a story that's stuck in my teeth
00:08:41 What is it?
00:08:43 Well, these well-to-do farm people
00:08:47 ...were murdered in the middle of the night
00:08:52 - Do they have any idea who did it?
00:08:55 But that won't affect the piece
00:08:58 I want to explore how a crime
00:09:02 ...where everyone trusts each other.
00:09:04 It may be preferable that we don't know
00:09:07 Exactly. Because what I imagine everyone
00:09:12 "Who among us did this horrible thing?"
00:09:15 It used to be you'd look at someone
00:09:21 Now you think...
00:09:22 ..."Did you do it?"
00:09:24 Oh, I can't bear the thought of you
00:09:27 Whom will I talk to?
00:09:29 Oh, that reminds me.
00:09:33 - The eyes?
00:09:36 Abortion.
00:09:37 Oh, I just saw her at Sotheby's.
00:09:41 I wanted it for the guest bath...
00:09:43 ...but Bill wants to put the little
00:09:47 Tell him nobody wants to go to the bathroom
00:09:51 - I know it from bitter personal experience.
00:09:56 How did you find out about Tracy?
00:09:58 Slim. But I'm absolutely sworn
00:10:02 I'm only telling you
00:10:07 Nelle, as my oldest and dearest friend,
00:10:13 Are you joking?
00:10:14 That small town stuff,
00:10:18 That is your world as much as this,
00:10:23 - How were they killed?
00:10:26 But there's a caretaker not a hundred yards
00:10:30 How could he not hear four gunshots
00:10:33 Maybe he did it.
00:10:36 Maybe. Though the victims
00:10:39 ...which suggests at least two
00:10:43 ...one with the gun
00:10:45 ...and one to tie them up
00:10:50 The father and boy were shot
00:10:53 ...the mother and girl in their beds.
00:10:55 - How do you know all this?
00:10:59 May I tell him who's calling, please?
00:11:01 Yes, dear. This is Truman Capote.
00:11:04 I'm sorry. The district attorney
00:11:10 And what did you say?
00:11:12 Who says I'm strange?
00:11:17 They can judge for themselves soon enough.
00:11:22 Which of your pillbox hats
00:11:27 Why didn't Jack come tonight?
00:11:32 Truman and I...
00:11:35 ...had a taste for one another's company
00:11:38 ...but we weren't a together-wherever-we-go
00:11:43 I'm not...
00:11:46 ...especially with that crowd.
00:11:49 Jack didn't...
00:11:52 ...approve of us.
00:11:54 He has the social graces of a syringe.
00:11:57 Jack is just so iron, you know,
00:12:02 Before he knew Truman...
00:12:04 ...he was married to a darling actress
00:12:09 They were dancers together in Oklahoma!
00:12:14 And then the war came,
00:12:17 And she told him that she'd had an affair.
00:12:20 Well, he was so humiliated...
00:12:23 ...that not only did he end
00:12:27 ...but he stopped sleeping with women
00:12:32 Can you imagine?
00:12:33 Curing your distaste for infidelity
00:12:40 What if one of the people
00:12:43 And what if he thinks you know?
00:12:45 He's already committed four murders,
00:12:48 Honey, is this your funny way of saying
00:12:52 - Doesn't it seem dangerous?
00:12:55 I can't. I'm trying to write my book.
00:12:58 Well, then it's o sole mio, off I go!
00:13:01 - I don't want anything to happen to you.
00:13:06 - Much to everyone's regret.
00:13:12 Come with me. Your book's all done.
00:13:14 Well, I am intrigued...
00:13:16 ...but I want to get started on my new book
00:13:22 How near did you say the caretaker lived
00:13:27 Nelle grew up with him in Alabama.
00:13:29 She based the other little boy in
00:13:33 Aptly enough, she named the child Dill.
00:13:36 People always mention his effervescence...
00:13:40 ...but one must remember that at the center
00:13:45 ...there's always that little touch of blue.
00:13:51 Truman's parents deserted him
00:13:54 ...leaving him with elderly relations
00:13:58 And Truman always disguised his shame
00:14:02 ...with grand tales
00:14:08 "My daddy can't be here,
00:14:11 "My mother's a photographic subject,
00:14:15 ...he would always say.
00:14:19 Every year at Christmas...
00:14:22 ...our elementary school did a pageant
00:14:26 And one year, Truman wrote his parents
00:14:31 ...though he was only
00:14:35 But, no matter, it worked.
00:14:39 They wired him to say they'd take
00:14:42 ...and get there just in time
00:14:46 ...they'd stand right by the cannon
00:14:51 Well, we marched through town
00:14:57 ...I could see him straining
00:15:01 When we got to that cannon,
00:15:06 ...forgetting we were supposed
00:15:10 He stopped and he stared.
00:15:18 They had not come.
00:15:24 I thought for a minute he might break.
00:15:30 And then he threw his arms up in the air...
00:15:35 ...and twirled himself all the way over.
00:15:42 A cartwheel.
00:15:46 And then again. And again...
00:15:50 ...all the way down the street...
00:15:54 ...till his tears were gone.
00:15:57 Truman adored Nelle.
00:15:59 She and Jack were just about
00:16:04 I will say it stung him
00:16:08 He might not have minded her winning one,
00:16:13 I've always been interested in crime.
00:16:16 Daddy was a lawyer, and sister too.
00:16:19 I studied the law as well...
00:16:22 ...but I either lost my nerve
00:16:27 But when Truman asked me
00:16:31 ...it was deep calling to deep.
00:17:11 Detective Dewey!
00:17:13 - Do you have any leads yet?
00:17:16 - Detective Dewey!
00:17:18 Yeah. Will you confirm that there is
00:17:20 I will not.
00:17:21 Well, of course there was more than one,
00:17:25 Beg your pardon, ma'am?
00:17:27 It's illogical to suppose
00:17:31 The Clutters were tied up.
00:17:33 ...he'd have to put his gun down.
00:17:35 Once he put the gun down,
00:17:39 - I don't believe I know who you are.
00:17:44 I'm from out of town.
00:17:46 - What's your paper?
00:17:49 Oh, I'm not a reporter. I'm a writer.
00:17:54 May I see your press card?
00:17:56 Good heavens,
00:18:00 But I do have a passport
00:18:03 Would you like to come back
00:18:09 I'll need not only the facts of the case...
00:18:11 ...but how this terrible crime
00:18:15 ...that makes up your community.
00:18:17 - I see. No.
00:18:20 No reporter has special access.
00:18:23 Sir, I'm not writing a news story.
00:18:27 I'm writing a psychological study
00:18:31 ...and how that place is affected
00:18:34 I will not be careless in my depiction.
00:18:37 I shall labor over every word, every sound.
00:18:40 The final result must be just so...
00:18:42 ...as dazzling and unique
00:18:45 Right. And I got a crime to solve.
00:18:47 But I don't care whether the crime
00:18:50 I sure as hell care.
00:18:52 The Clutters went to our church.
00:18:56 No access.
00:18:59 Oh, you are very, very foxy.
00:19:02 I can see I'm gonna have
00:19:05 ...to get around
00:19:08 Isn't he foxy?
00:19:15 It was lovely how you didn't care
00:19:18 - Lovely.
00:19:20 Would you folks care for a cocktail?
00:19:22 Yes, a gin and tonic, please.
00:19:24 I'll have J&B on the rocks...
00:19:25 ...with a tiny curl of lemon
00:19:29 A what, on the rocks?
00:19:32 J&B.
00:19:34 It's a type of Scotch, dear.
00:19:38 You want me to see if we've got any?
00:19:40 That would be a wonderful beginning.
00:19:43 Yes, ma'am.
00:19:47 I think we need to come in
00:19:50 I know where you are headed...
00:19:52 ...but you of all people know how impossible
00:19:56 I'm not saying get married and have kids...
00:19:59 ...but maybe come in
00:20:02 It's no use.
00:20:06 Anyway...
00:20:07 ...l'll call Dewey's office in the morning
00:20:11 - It might better suit his vanity.
00:20:13 - Let's start talking...
00:20:16 Thank you.
00:20:17 In the meantime,
00:20:20 We don't need his blessing for that.
00:20:22 I think we should just speak
00:20:24 Yes, and in our nicest way, the way
00:20:29 Madam!
00:20:31 May we ask you about the gruesome murders
00:20:42 Maybe you should drop
00:20:49 Sir!
00:20:50 Sir!
00:20:54 Excuse me, sir.
00:20:56 My friend and I would like to talk to you
00:21:01 Sorry, ladies.
00:21:05 Do you think everyone keeps calling me
00:21:09 ...or can they honestly not tell?
00:21:12 I know I'm not Charles Atlas,
00:21:16 No. Hers is thicker.
00:21:26 Mr. Capote.
00:21:30 Is this all? No messages?
00:21:33 No, sir.
00:21:36 I simply don't understand why
00:21:40 I've telephoned three times.
00:21:52 Nelle!
00:21:54 Care package from Babe!
00:21:56 It's beluga!
00:22:02 Let's get some Ritz crackers
00:22:04 Let's. And you know what I think
00:22:08 Go see the Clutter place.
00:22:10 Honey, if Alvin Dewey won't return my calls,
00:22:14 You know everybody on the planet.
00:22:18 And please tell the duke and duchess
00:22:24 I will.
00:22:25 Bennett hears wonderful things
00:22:30 I almost don't care what the critics say...
00:22:32 ...as long as I can be allowed
00:22:35 Your dream of being the
00:22:40 Anyway, Bennett knows
00:22:43 ...who knows the Clutters' lawyer.
00:23:13 The killers came in this way.
00:25:04 Any messages?
00:25:08 Princess Margaret...
00:25:11 ...and Noël Coward.
00:25:16 No Dewey. Again.
00:25:20 They're in both ways over there.
00:25:22 Right, but this particular form
00:25:25 - That whole stack?
00:25:35 Is this a good time?
00:25:37 Yeah. Come on in.
00:25:44 Ma'am.
00:25:46 What can I do for you folks?
00:25:48 Well...
00:25:51 ...you can begin by serving me
00:25:55 I've come to apologize for acting
00:25:59 As you see, I even got new britches.
00:26:03 Yeah, well, no harm done.
00:26:07 I wanted to explain myself.
00:26:09 I'm trying to create
00:26:12 Have you read my book
00:26:17 Well, it was very well received.
00:26:20 It's about an American opera company going
00:26:25 Now, if I relied only on what
00:26:30 ...it would have been no different
00:26:33 But I treated the people with the emotional
00:26:38 I see, so you're doing something different
00:26:42 Yes.
00:26:43 And I can't really know how people feel
00:26:47 Oh, well, I can tell you how they feel.
00:26:49 They'll feel better when this is solved.
00:26:52 Yes. I agree. And that's...
00:26:53 Look, I wish you well with your project.
00:26:59 I'm sorry, but Nelle
00:27:04 Why?
00:27:06 Because no one will talk to me.
00:27:09 I've got to stay until they forget about me
00:27:13 No one forgets about you.
00:27:16 What will you do for Christmas?
00:27:18 Of course, everything will be closed...
00:27:21 ...so I thought before I'd go to the market
00:27:25 ...some ham and olives.
00:27:27 Slim sent a wonderful Burgundy.
00:27:30 Nelle and I can make a picnic at the hotel.
00:27:33 VELvEETA
00:27:40 Excuse me?
00:27:42 - Could this be all the cheese?
00:27:46 Mine is a matter of quality, dear,
00:27:50 Oh, you mean other types of cheese.
00:27:58 - Are you staying for Christmas?
00:28:02 What will you and Mrs. Capote do
00:28:05 If this is the only cheese I find,
00:28:11 Would you like to come to our house
00:28:14 Really? Like for a party?
00:28:17 It's just not right you don't have
00:28:20 That is so kind of you.
00:28:22 Nelle will be thrilled.
00:28:36 Hi.
00:28:38 Hi.
00:28:42 What?
00:28:43 We are spending Christmas
00:28:53 This just isn't right.
00:28:54 What isn't right is for two people
00:28:58 If there's two of them, they won't be alone.
00:29:01 Hi. We're here.
00:29:03 - Merry Christmas.
00:29:07 I know you said not to bring anything...
00:29:09 ...but my daddy would kill me if I showed up
00:29:13 We brought you fruitcake.
00:29:14 And she doesn't mean me.
00:29:19 My wife, Delores.
00:29:21 - Truman.
00:29:23 - Thank you.
00:29:24 And here is our son, Paul.
00:29:26 Hello, Paul. Merry Christmas.
00:29:39 You gonna watch the game?
00:29:41 I got $25 on it.
00:29:49 Truman, you like football?
00:29:51 Not much.
00:29:53 Though I must admit it always sends shivers
00:29:57 ...when the men get inside
00:30:12 We have treats.
00:30:14 I have kind of a party question.
00:30:17 I hope it's not too awful or mean.
00:30:20 That sounds fun. Let's play.
00:30:22 Paul Dewey. Don't you wanna come in here
00:30:25 Since it's Christmas...
00:30:26 ...I thought we could all take turns telling
00:30:34 Mine was a shawl from an elderly
00:30:39 - Me neither.
00:30:41 Are my ears working properly?
00:30:44 Am I the only one here who loves shawls?
00:30:50 Don't look at me.
00:30:52 My goodness, I love shawls.
00:30:54 I have several.
00:30:56 I think the prettiest one is the one
00:31:00 Jennifer Jones? The movie star?
00:31:03 Yes. We were in Rome making
00:31:07 ...and I was struggling
00:31:10 ...when I began to feel
00:31:14 Bogie? You mean Humphrey Bogart?
00:31:16 I mean Mr. Lauren Bacall, yes.
00:31:20 I was trying to write a scene for him
00:31:23 Wait a minute. Who's Peter?
00:31:25 Peter Lorre.
00:31:28 But I had a terrible impacted tooth,
00:31:32 - Wayne?
00:31:33 Kennedy?
00:31:35 Huston?
00:31:36 John Huston, the director?
00:31:43 John told me he didn't care if we had
00:31:47 ...I was going to the hospital.
00:31:50 So I thought:
00:31:52 "Well, if I have to be in a Roman hospital
00:31:57 ...I may as well have something with me
00:32:01 So I wore the beautiful Balmain shawl
00:32:05 ...and, if I do say so myself...
00:32:08 ...I felt and looked dreamy.
00:32:18 - Did you meet Humphrey Bogart?
00:32:21 My dear, every night
00:32:25 ...and, once, poker!
00:32:28 You played poker with Humphrey Bogart?
00:32:31 I had a disadvantage in that...
00:32:33 ...I didn't know the game
00:32:36 Frank?!
00:32:37 Sinatra.
00:32:40 Experience had taught them things...
00:32:42 ...a relative novice such as myself
00:32:45 ...did you know that three of a kind
00:32:50 So, I did not defeat Mr. Humphrey Bogart
00:32:55 ...but you may be interested to know
00:33:08 Arm wrestling.
00:33:11 Hold on now.
00:33:14 You expect us to believe...
00:33:16 ...that you beat Humphrey Bogart
00:33:24 Twice.
00:33:34 You're good.
00:33:35 Good match, sir. Thank you.
00:33:39 Hey. I just beat the guy who could beat
00:33:42 Cool. You wanna come over
00:33:44 You didn't beat Humphrey Bogart,
00:33:49 You don't think I'd defeat your child
00:33:53 ...with everyone here thinking
00:33:57 That would be a gift of switches
00:34:03 But you didn't beat Humphrey Bogart,
00:34:06 All right. Roll up your sleeve.
00:34:09 No, no, no.
00:34:12 Scared?
00:34:28 Well, I'll be.
00:34:30 Listen, Foxy.
00:34:35 This world isn't kind to little things.
00:35:11 So glad you could make it.
00:35:13 - Hope you'll come back. Thank you.
00:35:16 - Merry Christmas. Good night.
00:35:19 Bye-bye.
00:35:20 Foxy, check under the tree.
00:35:23 Hello?
00:35:26 No, they just left.
00:35:29 Well, I know it, but the time flew.
00:35:33 He knows Ava Gardner.
00:35:36 And Humphrey Bogart.
00:35:38 And Betty Bacall. That's Lauren Bacall.
00:35:44 And she got right into the kitchen
00:35:55 Anything good?
00:35:57 Merry Christmas from the queen mother.
00:36:00 She loves me.
00:36:03 Babe.
00:36:05 Slim.
00:36:09 Who's this?
00:36:10 "Mrs. John Stimmell called to invite you
00:36:14 Who's that?
00:36:15 It says she's a friend of the Deweys.
00:36:18 How nice.
00:36:19 Look, here's another.
00:36:23 Friend of the Deweys."
00:36:26 Well, that sounds lovely.
00:36:29 Nelle.
00:36:32 These are all invitations!
00:36:39 Then Ava said:
00:36:41 "I'm not afraid of the police.
00:36:46 And Marilyn said,
00:36:52 Marilyn Monroe.
00:36:54 Bonnie Clutter is such a dear and l...
00:37:00 Was such a dear.
00:37:02 Oh, goodness.
00:37:04 It's hard to put a friend in the past tense.
00:37:08 It seems so sad, especially since Bonnie
00:37:14 What was the matter?
00:37:17 Oh, well, I shouldn't say.
00:37:19 I just don't think she liked
00:37:24 But if you ever did see her,
00:37:28 ...oh, she was always good old Bonnie.
00:37:32 She was going through
00:37:35 That's all?
00:37:37 You try it. It's enough.
00:37:43 Well, there were four of us went
00:37:48 ...clean up...
00:37:53 ...all the damage and the mess.
00:37:58 We used to go out to Herb's
00:38:03 It was strange driving out there
00:38:08 The couch where the boy had been.
00:38:10 It was just,
00:38:16 ...good Lord, just seeing that couch.
00:38:20 Or the mattress box
00:38:25 There was so much blood.
00:38:28 There was so much blood.
00:38:34 Sometimes in little spatters.
00:38:38 ...and then I saw a big spot
00:38:42 ...and I almost...
00:38:44 I swear...
00:38:47 ...well, that was worse than the big stuff
00:38:50 "It made it all the way up here?"
00:38:55 I can only say I was a Marine...
00:38:58 ...and nothing ever got to me
00:39:04 Herb was one of the most
00:39:07 If there was a list that told you how
00:39:11 ...well, he just did everything on it.
00:39:13 You see, he worked hard,
00:39:17 ...and when he went to church,
00:39:22 No, he went in and he listened.
00:39:25 And I've always believed
00:39:30 ...it gives you a little bit of weight...
00:39:32 ...so that you come to feel rooted
00:39:39 Now what scares me is that...
00:39:43 ...well, sometimes, out of nowhere...
00:39:46 ...a bad wind blows up.
00:39:49 Now it could be cancer, could be drink...
00:39:55 ...could be some woman
00:40:00 And despite the weight that's holding you
00:40:04 ...when that wind comes,
00:40:11 ...and it takes you where it wants.
00:40:17 We're in control until we're not.
00:40:21 Then we're helpless.
00:40:27 "If you ever saw her,
00:40:32 No, no. She said, "If you ever did see her,
00:40:36 That's right.
00:40:37 "...she was always good old Bonnie."
00:40:39 Good ear.
00:40:43 Drink?
00:40:46 Well, obviously the mother wasn't right.
00:40:50 Oh, I don't know.
00:40:53 I hope not.
00:40:57 Your novel?
00:41:00 What are you talking about?
00:41:02 I think this story is bigger than an article.
00:41:07 I can see that. But non-fiction, right?
00:41:10 Yes, of course it will all be true, but...
00:41:13 - But what? Either it is or it isn't.
00:41:17 I wanna to bring fictional techniques
00:41:21 What fictional techniques?
00:41:24 Excuse me, if I were gonna make stuff up
00:41:29 You obviously plan to turn Bonnie Clutter
00:41:33 ...when what it sounds like is that she was
00:41:37 What is your stupid fucking point?
00:41:40 That you shouldn't be doing
00:41:43 The truth is enough!
00:41:45 I must say I don't appreciate this lecture
00:41:49 Mockingbird was based on true things,
00:41:52 Right. It's a novel!
00:41:55 Reportage means re-creating,
00:41:58 This is a new kind of reportage!
00:42:02 I'll say.
00:42:25 Okay. "But if you ever did see her,
00:42:28 - I remember.
00:42:33 - It's your book.
00:42:36 My seventh.
00:42:44 - Okay, okay.
00:42:48 Lt'll take me a long time to shape, but...
00:42:51 ...thanks to Nelle,
00:42:54 ...and you all...
00:42:56 ...we'll probably only need
00:42:58 - Well, I'm gonna miss your Kansas steaks.
00:43:02 Is there any news?
00:43:07 We got them.
00:43:08 - What?
00:43:10 We caught them.
00:43:13 The killers? We caught the killers?
00:43:16 Who are they?
00:43:18 They're in Las vegas.
00:43:20 - Can I come? Oh, please, Foxy?!
00:43:23 Well, there isn't gonna be another time.
00:43:27 I'm sorry.
00:43:29 Honestly, Marie...
00:43:31 ...how can you stay married
00:43:35 Maybe now you'll get
00:43:48 Congratulations, Foxy.
00:43:53 This kind of changes your book.
00:43:56 You're telling me.
00:43:58 Of course, if I thought it was hard
00:44:01 ...how in heaven's name will I ever get
00:44:04 Look, look. They're here.
00:44:32 Pardon me. Pardon me.
00:44:43 I can't see the other one.
00:44:46 There he is.
00:45:04 No way. No press inside the prison.
00:45:08 I have many connections in government.
00:45:10 Perhaps I could have someone call,
00:45:13 You'd pretty much have to know
00:45:16 ...before I'd let you visit these boys.
00:45:24 Suck my cock, you cocksucker!
00:45:26 I never snack.
00:45:28 You want to kiss my asshole, bitch?
00:45:29 I'd prefer it to your face.
00:45:33 You want to write a book about me?
00:45:36 If my jackass teachers
00:45:40 - Did you ever write a book?
00:45:43 My first novel, Other Voices, Other Rooms,
00:45:47 ...as the most exciting literary debut since...
00:45:50 Yeah, okay.
00:45:52 - You a queer?
00:45:55 Because I'd let you suck me.
00:45:57 I'm not a queer, but letting you suck my dick
00:46:00 It makes you queer.
00:46:06 Well, thanks, I guess, but no.
00:46:10 - So then what's in it for me?
00:46:14 I'd give you a share of my royalties.
00:46:26 I got two kids by my first marriage.
00:46:30 Maybe I can give the money to Lacy, my ex.
00:46:37 I'd be glad to.
00:46:40 Okay, I'll do it.
00:46:44 I shared a cell with a piece of rat shit
00:46:47 ...who told me old man Clutter had
00:46:52 Dick says you first heard
00:46:57 ...Floyd Wells.
00:47:00 - Is that right?
00:47:04 Yes, but can I trust him?
00:47:09 He's in jail.
00:47:11 I wouldn't trust him.
00:47:15 You don't want the only perception people
00:47:20 - I can help get your side out.
00:47:25 You don't care about my side.
00:47:27 - You're not trying to help me.
00:47:32 You'd be entitled
00:47:35 And what would I do
00:47:39 - You might get out, and you could use...
00:47:45 I said no bullshit
00:47:51 Go away.
00:47:54 He'll loosen up.
00:47:58 Dick?
00:48:02 Perry probably shot the Clutters
00:48:06 I have to have both sides.
00:48:10 How do you get your New York lady friends
00:48:14 My swans?
00:48:16 I figure out what they need.
00:48:18 Gossip. Comfort. And I give it to them.
00:48:23 So find out what Perry needs.
00:48:27 Surely he'll shed some light
00:48:31 The man and the boy
00:48:33 Now, here's something.
00:48:35 When I wanted to enjoy myself on the girl,
00:48:40 ...Perry says for me not to touch her.
00:48:43 But then, when he's tying up that boy,
00:48:49 And told the old man
00:48:52 ...because he said the floor was cold.
00:48:55 Too cold to get shot on?
00:48:57 Why do you think he did that?
00:49:00 And I said, "You losing your nerve?
00:49:08 And he said, "No,"
00:49:12 Putting that pillow for the boy,
00:49:19 But other times he's okay.
00:49:23 Didn't seem like a faggot
00:49:30 No, we didn't want to kill them.
00:49:32 We wanted to get in
00:49:35 Perry wanted us
00:49:38 But that shit-ass store where we got
00:49:42 You could see my eyes through them.
00:49:46 So Perry says we should go to the hospital
00:49:51 And I thought that was
00:49:53 ...but I didn't feel like fighting
00:49:55 ...so I went and huddled behind the door,
00:49:59 "Catholic bitches wouldn't sell me none."
00:50:02 And what did Perry say?
00:50:04 He said:
00:50:06 "Any.
00:50:08 Catholic bitches won't sell you any."
00:50:11 Really?
00:50:13 - He corrected your grammar?
00:50:18 Perry Smith...
00:50:20 ...fancies himself an artiste.
00:50:29 Hey, baby.
00:50:33 Yours couldn't reach through the bars.
00:50:39 The only way to deal with vulgarity
00:50:44 I had a similar experience with my friend,
00:50:49 The artist and intellectual?
00:50:54 Never mind.
00:50:56 Nobody here likes this kind of thing.
00:51:00 I do.
00:51:05 I'd like to hear it.
00:51:11 Well, Tennessee
00:51:14 ...when this very drunk woman
00:51:17 "May I have your autograph?"
00:51:21 She said she didn't have
00:51:24 So she pulled up her shirt,
00:51:27 ...and asked me to autograph that.
00:51:31 So then she hands me an eyebrow pencil...
00:51:33 ...and I write my name all the way around
00:51:38 All of the sudden appears her angry
00:51:44 "Since you're in the mood for signing things,
00:51:49 And with that, he unzipped his fly
00:51:54 Well, what'd you do?
00:51:55 Well, the room was graveyard silent.
00:51:59 I looked him up and down
00:52:04 "Well, I don't know if I could autograph it,
00:52:14 What kind of stuff does
00:52:18 I know his name,
00:52:21 He's a dramatist.
00:52:25 - That Brando was in?
00:52:27 Marlon Brando is the fucking king!
00:52:31 Now, he's one of my two favorite actors.
00:52:33 - Who's the other?
00:52:53 I beat Humphrey Bogart.
00:52:55 And Alvin Dewey too.
00:52:58 This is the most black-hearted thing
00:53:02 ...and I will never forgive you.
00:53:04 Oh, hush your silliness.
00:53:10 I need my life back.
00:53:13 There are a few fires I need to rekindle.
00:53:16 Well, goodbye.
00:53:19 Thank you. You too.
00:53:44 - How's the vanquisher of Bogart?
00:53:49 Tell me more about him.
00:53:53 Well, I think we should talk
00:53:56 Like what?
00:53:57 Nothing.
00:54:06 I do have a very amusing story
00:54:11 I once spent an entire evening with him,
00:54:15 ...and he told me all about his life
00:54:20 Are you guys friends?
00:54:22 Well, I wouldn't say that.
00:54:26 What for?
00:54:28 He didn't like the way I portrayed him
00:54:32 He claims he told me certain things
00:54:35 Well, you couldn't just check your notes?
00:54:38 I never take notes.
00:54:41 I employ a memory technique that gives me
00:54:46 Well, "almost" is the key fucking word.
00:54:48 I may miss a word, but never a meaning.
00:54:50 If you miss the right word, you will.
00:54:54 You've got a hell of a fucking nerve.
00:54:56 What are you trying to bother
00:54:59 You misunderst...
00:55:00 See, this is why I don't
00:55:02 If you want to make me look
00:55:05 Perry, I never judge my characters.
00:55:11 Well, here's something for you
00:55:16 ...I am not a character.
00:55:19 I'm a human-fucking-being.
00:55:22 - Guard!
00:55:24 I am writing this book
00:55:28 You can get involved, so I can make you
00:55:32 ...or you can continue this foolishness...
00:55:34 ...and I will head straight back to New York
00:55:47 Is this my party?
00:55:49 Truman!
00:55:51 Welcome home, my darling.
00:56:04 I don't believe I've ever said this:
00:56:07 Tell us about the killers.
00:56:12 Well, their names are Dick Hickock
00:56:16 - Have you met them?
00:56:18 My dear, I've been in their cells.
00:56:21 I have goose flesh.
00:56:22 When you're talking to them,
00:56:26 To be frank, I'm much more concerned
00:56:34 Dick speaks about what happened
00:56:38 - It was just something that happened.
00:56:41 No, it's Perry. As in Antoinette.
00:56:45 He's an enigma.
00:56:47 You know, before he killed the Clutter boy
00:56:51 And he wouldn't let Dick rape the girl.
00:56:54 - He's not all kind.
00:56:56 After these demonstrations of gentility,
00:57:01 And cut the old man's throat.
00:57:03 There's something...
00:57:05 ...I can't quite put my finger on it.
00:57:08 It seems insane to say that he's tender...
00:57:11 ...but he does have the tender
00:57:19 He's very...
00:57:32 He's very?
00:57:40 Never mind that.
00:57:42 ...and you can all tell me whom
00:57:47 Oh, goody.
00:57:49 Bennett?
00:57:54 In his letters, Tru Heart always says:
00:58:00 And, as any of us with children know...
00:58:02 ...the big new thing is not on Broadway
00:58:07 Sorry, darling.
00:58:09 - It's this.
00:58:12 ...and you think,
00:58:16 And five minutes later...
00:58:17 ...you're doing it.
00:58:19 Doors closed, of course,
00:58:23 I did.
00:58:24 Well, assholes aren't much for dancing.
00:58:28 Oh, dear.
00:58:31 How's your writing coming, Jack?
00:58:36 Well, let's hear it.
00:58:37 Well, when Babe told me anyone
00:58:40 ...I bet her $ 100 she couldn't teach me,
00:58:46 Slim and I will show you how it's done,
00:58:52 - You, especially.
00:58:57 Oh, my word.
00:59:03 - Come on, my protégé.
00:59:09 When she taught me,
00:59:12 She said, "There are no other steps."
00:59:15 - Who's next?
00:59:22 No, how do I?
00:59:26 That's what I said. It's not a dance.
00:59:29 - You're putting the cigarette out.
00:59:32 Truman?
00:59:38 - Just put your foot out there.
00:59:42 What are you doing there?
00:59:44 You're doing something with your arms.
00:59:47 - Then we go down.
00:59:51 I'm so sorry about Jack.
00:59:58 Bill can take it, believe me.
01:00:00 Jack has a moral certainty
01:00:03 Moral in what way?
01:00:06 Just that anything fun
01:00:10 ...certainly not moral in a personal way.
01:00:13 We have an understanding
01:00:16 ...and the other isn't there to provide it,
01:00:19 I understand.
01:00:21 I hardly ever wander, but he does.
01:00:24 We don't discuss it.
01:00:29 But doesn't even the idea upset you?
01:00:36 ...or keep yourself from picturing...?
01:00:42 Honey, what is it?
01:00:46 Bill is having an affair.
01:00:49 Babaling, no.
01:00:51 Please, you absolutely must not breathe
01:00:54 It will die inside me.
01:00:57 How did you find out?
01:01:01 Our bed sheets were stained.
01:01:04 - Okay, well, now I could vomit.
01:01:08 Well, no.
01:01:10 So, he got on his hands and knees
01:01:15 But it didn't quite come out.
01:01:17 And when I got back I noticed
01:01:21 And I said, like a fool, I mean,
01:01:28 I said:
01:01:31 "What on earth is that?"
01:01:34 I thought Mary Lee had bleached them.
01:01:37 But then I looked at Bill
01:01:42 ...that look on his face.
01:01:47 "Thank heavens he is such a bad liar...
01:01:51 ...or I would have been most unjust
01:01:55 It doesn't seem possible that a man
01:01:59 ...can be such a bad liar.
01:02:01 It seems so essential to his success.
01:02:07 What am I gonna do?
01:02:10 You are going to call me
01:02:13 ...even if it's 3 in the morning
01:02:16 ...between Brooklyn and Manhattan.
01:02:22 ...to let you know you have
01:02:26 T-bone, you are so dear.
01:02:29 I can't picture Bill Paley washing sheets!
01:02:33 He must have been frantic.
01:02:36 - Poor Babe.
01:02:40 Check.
01:02:43 Will you come while I find a newsstand?
01:02:45 I'm trying to bribe Perry into liking me
01:02:51 Sure.
01:02:54 Oh, I wish I'd find a man like you.
01:02:59 We could always have fun like this.
01:03:01 - Oh, thank you, Big Mama. I love you.
01:03:06 - Do you?
01:03:10 - You never confide in me.
01:03:14 Why don't you?
01:03:15 - It's very simple. I can't trust you.
01:03:21 Paralyzed and speechless.
01:03:23 Good afternoon.
01:03:24 I need two copies of Playboy,
01:03:28 ... Baby Doll, Hotsy Totsy, French Flip,
01:03:33 Jiggle.
01:03:35 Why on earth can you not trust me?
01:03:37 Well, you know why.
01:03:41 That will never be true.
01:03:44 I may not be a monk,
01:03:47 Good heavens!
01:03:52 Women look much better in clothes,
01:03:55 Goodness gracious,
01:03:58 I'm glad to see you've recovered.
01:04:10 How are things coming?
01:04:12 I found a superb structure,
01:04:15 ...between the Clutters
01:04:19 But if I don't find some emotional depth
01:04:23 Who needs it?
01:04:26 Well, face it, without Perry, you're dead.
01:04:29 - I'd cut your losses.
01:04:33 Here's your mail.
01:04:36 Something from The New Yorker.
01:04:41 Something that looks like invitations,
01:04:45 Do you know anyone
01:04:51 He must be writing to thank me
01:05:04 Well, you won't believe this.
01:05:09 What?
01:05:11 Dear Mr. Capote...
01:05:13 ...it was extremely solicitous of you
01:05:17 He reads the dictionary.
01:05:19 But I regret to inform you
01:05:24 My future will soon be determined.
01:05:26 But there are only two outcomes:
01:05:31 So, whether I have a short time remaining
01:05:35 ...I owe it to my mind to fill it
01:05:40 And how about that handwriting?
01:05:43 Well, if he wants beauty and intelligence...
01:05:47 ...you're his man.
01:05:59 I waited so we could open it together.
01:06:06 Dear Mr. Capote:
01:06:10 It was much more intellectual
01:06:14 However...
01:06:15 However?
01:06:17 Though the stories are told well...
01:06:19 ...l, ultimately, did not like them, because
01:06:25 I have never!
01:06:27 Maybe you should go back
01:06:30 Imagine being told your work
01:06:35 My writing is dispassionate
01:06:40 ...but I wouldn't say it's unkind.
01:06:42 I've never thought about it
01:06:46 - What a thing to say.
01:07:00 I came all this way back,
01:07:05 ...because there's something
01:07:09 I have given my whole life
01:07:12 ...the creation of a great work of art.
01:07:15 Please don't laugh at me.
01:07:19 My whole life...
01:07:21 ...all I've wanted was
01:07:26 I sang, nobody listened.
01:07:29 I painted, nobody looked.
01:07:34 Now, Dick and me,
01:07:38 And what's gonna come out of it?
01:07:41 A work of art.
01:07:46 I'm laughing at me.
01:07:49 You want me to open up,
01:07:53 - Why not?
01:07:57 I thought you looked down on the people
01:08:01 ...like you were sneering at them.
01:08:03 I would never sneer at my characters.
01:08:07 If I'm gonna put my heart in front of you...
01:08:09 ...I need to know I'm doing it with someone
01:08:13 ...and not make a joke out of it
01:08:20 You can't write my story...
01:08:22 ...because your idea of suffering
01:08:26 It's not. I promise.
01:08:32 Goodbye.
01:09:11 Okay.
01:09:16 The reason this is hard
01:09:21 ...l've never said it out loud before.
01:09:25 He told everyone she was sick, but...
01:09:35 ...my mother committed suicide.
01:09:41 - Is this a trick?
01:09:42 - Are you bullshitting me?
01:09:45 Have you been talking to Dick?
01:09:47 No.
01:09:53 What happened?
01:09:59 Why'd she do it?
01:10:04 All my mother ever wanted...
01:10:07 ...was to be a Park Avenue lady...
01:10:13 ...which isn't easy when you're in Alabama
01:10:17 So she married my father to get out.
01:10:21 But before they could go, I came.
01:10:25 So she deserted me...
01:10:28 ...leaving me with my aunts.
01:10:30 And when my father failed to deliver
01:10:35 ...she deserted him too.
01:10:39 Because she was beautiful...
01:10:49 ...so beautiful.
01:10:53 She married again,
01:10:57 He had a job in New York...
01:10:59 ...and worked all hours
01:11:03 We moved to 1060 Park Avenue.
01:11:10 It seemed to extinguish
01:11:17 But the way Joe got us there
01:11:21 He'd embezzled the money...
01:11:24 ...a hundred thousand dollars.
01:11:28 He was fired and tainted.
01:11:33 But not to a smaller place
01:11:36 ...but to a cold-water flat
01:11:43 She couldn't take it.
01:11:50 She frantically tried to save money
01:11:55 ...eating less, not buying lipstick.
01:12:02 She'd stopped drinking when they moved
01:12:07 And when that failed
01:12:13 ...she swallowed
01:12:30 I'm sorry about before.
01:12:34 I thought you were trying to trick me.
01:12:38 Trick you?
01:12:40 My mother killed herself too.
01:12:45 How?
01:12:46 The slow way. Drank herself to death.
01:12:51 Drinking.
01:12:53 Suicide for the faint of heart.
01:12:57 My brother couldn't wait.
01:13:00 My God.
01:13:02 - So you're all alone?
01:13:07 I have a sister.
01:13:09 You want to know what I think about her?
01:13:12 I think she's one evil bastard.
01:13:17 You want to see the ball-busting letter
01:13:34 Pay attention.
01:13:37 This could be good for our book.
01:13:52 I don't feel like talking.
01:13:53 I thought we were off to a good start.
01:13:57 After you left, that asshole next door said:
01:14:00 "Hey, Smith, how come your mother
01:14:03 Fuck him, who cares?
01:14:05 You see, when I'm talking to you,
01:14:08 And then I think abut how you
01:14:10 Perry, what I'm gonna write about you
01:14:14 You're not thinking clearly.
01:14:16 You're under the most
01:14:20 Aw, doesn't wittle Perry wike it here?
01:14:22 - Shut the fuck up, Andrews!
01:14:26 Be above him.
01:14:31 Come.
01:14:43 This can be our little tree house.
01:14:48 How come y'all are so quiet?
01:14:52 Now...
01:14:56 ...I want you to relax.
01:14:59 I can't. Not here. Not with him.
01:15:02 I may be wrong,
01:15:06 ...that made me think
01:15:10 Artists have the power,
01:15:14 ...to escape a degenerate world
01:15:20 How?
01:15:22 - Close your eyes.
01:15:27 Trust me.
01:15:31 Now I want you
01:15:36 ...and relaxing place you know.
01:15:40 Mexico.
01:15:41 I know it well.
01:15:48 Feel that hot sun beating down on you...
01:15:53 ...warming all the tension out of you.
01:15:58 Feel the heat soaking into you.
01:16:03 And then...
01:16:06 ...gentle as a feather
01:16:11 ...there's a breeze.
01:16:16 Close them.
01:16:20 Good.
01:16:22 Feel the breeze...
01:16:27 ...that sensual breath from heaven.
01:16:33 Just let go...
01:16:36 ...relax every muscle.
01:16:51 I'm ready.
01:16:56 When I was a boy,
01:17:00 His parents were rodeo performers.
01:17:04 It was a hard life in lots of ways...
01:17:07 ... but it sure looked good once we lost it.
01:17:11 Mom and Dad had to quit.
01:17:14 That kind of riding wears your bones out.
01:17:18 But that's what they were: Riders.
01:17:23 So, when that went away...
01:17:26 ...everything went with it.
01:17:29 Jesus, Flo.
01:17:31 Fuck off! It's just beer.
01:17:34 Fucking asshole!
01:17:37 So Mom left him, and she took me
01:17:47 I dreamed Dad would rescue me.
01:17:50 How funny.
01:17:54 Me too.
01:17:59 Every day I waited for him,
01:18:03 And then one day
01:18:13 Please be real. Please be real.
01:18:16 Please be real.
01:18:21 Dad.
01:18:25 Are you here to take me with you?
01:18:27 I wish I could, but I can't.
01:18:32 I don't know how to take care of you.
01:18:38 I came to tell you to be
01:18:42 And he made me get down.
01:18:45 He hated his old lady.
01:18:49 She took his daddy away.
01:18:52 A boy needs his daddy.
01:18:54 And did he hate the father too?
01:18:57 He always said he hated his old man,
01:19:02 ...this excruciatingly poignant thing.
01:19:08 Dick says that sometimes
01:19:14 Dad!
01:19:18 Dad!
01:19:21 Where you been?
01:19:24 I've been looking everywhere for you.
01:19:28 Years later, after the Army...
01:19:31 ... I got a letter from Dad saying
01:19:35 Wanted me to come help him.
01:19:38 And I'd be lying to you if I told you I wasn't
01:19:43 He finally had a place for me.
01:19:46 I was gonna sing and play my guitar
01:19:50 I painted all the pictures.
01:19:55 Nobody's coming here!
01:19:59 Nobody!
01:20:01 Know why?
01:20:03 It's because of you,
01:20:08 Your fucking sign is no good!
01:20:10 I said, "Buy a neon sign"...
01:20:13 ...and you said, "I'll paint us a good one."
01:20:16 Fucking sissy.
01:20:26 Come on.
01:20:27 He killed me, this guy.
01:20:30 Over and over my whole life,
01:20:37 It was always like having a knife in me.
01:20:40 So I decided to kill him right then,
01:20:47 Sissy.
01:20:49 But I couldn't do it.
01:20:52 And all this stuff about Dad
01:20:58 ...it's gonna make me look like
01:21:01 No! It will help people see you
01:21:06 ...not just as someone who has caused
01:21:12 Can I see what you've written so far?
01:21:15 Not till it's perfect.
01:21:19 No one's ever treated me like you have.
01:21:23 Is it just to get me to tell you stuff?
01:21:26 No.
01:21:27 It's because I respect you.
01:21:32 All right. Time's up.
01:21:45 - Thanks for that beautiful thing you said.
01:21:51 About respect.
01:22:25 So, I'm sympathetic, am I?
01:22:28 You been looking out for me, have you?
01:22:32 What's the title of your book?
01:22:39 I know the title. The fucking guard told me,
01:22:46 It's called In Cold Blood, isn't it?
01:22:49 It is, isn't it?
01:22:54 You sold me out, you shit...
01:22:56 ...after I opened myself up
01:22:59 Well, you're not gonna get away with it.
01:23:03 One sound out of you...
01:23:06 ...and you'll join the Clutters in hell.
01:23:10 Okay?
01:23:18 Open your mouth!
01:23:21 Open your mouth!
01:23:25 Open your fucking lying mouth!
01:23:29 You're gonna pay for that title now.
01:23:33 You fucked me,
01:24:14 I'm not gonna rape you...
01:24:17 ...because you can trust me.
01:24:22 But look.
01:24:25 Look
01:24:29 That's how your fucking title made me feel.
01:24:56 Don't let him in.
01:24:59 I need to talk to you, please.
01:25:01 From there.
01:25:05 Can we have some privacy?
01:25:14 In Cold Blood is the title of my book,
01:25:20 You boys did a monstrous thing.
01:25:23 And the public and their prosecutors
01:25:27 If they get what they want,
01:25:29 ...not in a senseless moment of passion,
01:25:35 That is the legal definition
01:25:38 This title is a condemnation of their plans.
01:25:42 But not only their plans.
01:25:44 No. No, not only.
01:25:48 Look, you did a terrible thing.
01:25:53 That doesn't mean you're not
01:25:58 I'm not talking to you
01:26:15 It's tough to read the family stuff.
01:26:19 - But you told it to me.
01:26:24 The Clutters.
01:26:31 There better be more than this in this house,
01:26:36 Get him to the basement.
01:26:37 I'll get the old man.
01:26:40 You don't think about it
01:26:45 Why don't you put some clothes on?
01:26:50 Yes, sir.
01:26:51 We didn't know anything about them.
01:26:57 Except that they had a safe.
01:27:00 But I don't have a safe.
01:27:03 How old are you, baby?
01:27:08 - Let me help you down with these covers.
01:27:13 Now!
01:27:16 - You touch her, and I'll kill you.
01:27:19 Let's just go. There's no safe.
01:27:22 We're not leaving, baby.
01:27:26 Get down to the basement so we
01:27:30 I'm not leaving you here.
01:27:32 Fuck you, then!
01:27:36 Let's go.
01:28:24 I know this is crazy...
01:28:27 ...but when I looked in his eyes,
01:28:31 "Too bad we couldn't be friends."
01:28:35 He had 4-H stuff in his room.
01:28:38 And, I could have told him about my folks
01:28:47 - Why don't you kiss him?
01:28:50 You never like anything to do with girls.
01:28:52 - You never want a whore.
01:28:54 You won't even watch me
01:28:56 - You like boys better?
01:28:58 - Go ahead. Then I can break his sister's box!
01:29:00 Go ahead, sugar, kiss him.
01:29:04 Or would you rather kiss his daddy?
01:29:17 Shit, Perry! His hand came free!
01:29:42 Now, now you kill the women.
01:30:10 I wish I could have saved them...
01:30:14 ...but at least...
01:30:18 I knew what he wanted to do to that girl.
01:30:26 Least I spared her that.
01:30:41 About the best example I can give you
01:30:46 He told me what he thought
01:30:49 He said, "Right before I cut his throat
01:30:54 "He was a nice soft-spoken gentleman.
01:30:56 I thought that right before
01:31:00 "I thought he was a very nice gentleman.
01:31:04 I thought so right up to the moment
01:31:08 What an extraordinary thing to say.
01:31:10 Extraordinary.
01:31:28 So how's the book?
01:31:30 Well, it's coming. I have to leave
01:31:34 That's all pro forma, right?
01:31:37 No, they hope for life, not death.
01:31:40 Death would be better for the book.
01:31:42 It would satisfy the readers more,
01:31:48 Honey, I've worked harder on this
01:31:52 I don't want it ruined just because
01:31:58 Gentlemen of the jury,
01:32:00 We have, Your Honor.
01:32:02 Will the clerk please bring the verdict up?
01:32:11 We, the jury, find the defendant,
01:32:16 ...guilty of the crime of murder
01:32:20 And the punishment...
01:32:25 ...is death.
01:32:31 - Will you appeal?
01:32:35 But we'll hang. We should.
01:32:39 You think hanging is fair?
01:32:42 It's funny.
01:32:45 ...and thinking:
01:32:50 Being in jail isn't punishment,
01:32:55 And neither is death,
01:33:01 I'll tell you what punishment is for me.
01:33:04 What?
01:33:06 It's hoping there's someone for you.
01:33:11 And after years of no one
01:33:32 - We really connected, didn't we?
01:33:37 You weren't being nice to me
01:33:40 No! I think about you all the time.
01:33:43 - Dick too?
01:33:48 You're the only person
01:33:51 Me too.
01:33:53 I don't have to act
01:34:07 Perry...
01:34:10 ...I don't want you to die.
01:34:57 Look, Ron and Nancy Reagan we're not.
01:35:02 We're apart for long times.
01:35:09 But we're men. We can have sex
01:35:16 What's not allowed is falling in love.
01:35:28 You see, that would be a betrayal.
01:35:34 A terrible breach of a very mature...
01:35:38 ...and very sensible arrangement.
01:35:41 After the verdicts,
01:35:46 By mid-'63 it was done.
01:35:49 Perfect as a diamond,
01:35:54 ...only this time...
01:35:56 ...it had kindness.
01:35:59 But we couldn't publish it
01:36:03 ...until something had been settled
01:36:06 There were four appeals,
01:36:09 It took five full years
01:36:12 That was hard on the killers, which doesn't
01:36:29 Do you have any word yet
01:36:33 I don't know.
01:36:37 You simply cannot conceive
01:36:44 I've worked on this book ceaselessly
01:36:50 ...pouring the whole of myself into it,
01:36:55 And then to be waiting like this...
01:36:58 ...unable to publish what I've done
01:37:02 I can hardly wait.
01:37:05 Do you feel that your book is worth
01:37:09 - Well, it's certainly worth Dick's.
01:37:14 His name is Perry.
01:37:18 I mean, it's just an intolerable position.
01:37:22 Because to get an ending for the book
01:37:35 on death row,
01:37:40 Every week, for five years...
01:37:45 ...Perry wrote both letters to Truman.
01:37:48 Friend Truman, cold in Kansas today...
01:37:51 ...though not as frigid as I imagine
01:37:55 How big are those Alps?
01:37:57 Friend Truman, do you know the song
01:38:02 It was Dad's favorite.
01:38:05 Maybe you could use your influence
01:38:08 ... and get me a tape recorder
01:38:11 Not much to say today.
01:38:14 Awful blue.
01:38:16 God, I miss you. Please write soon.
01:38:20 You can't imagine what it does to me
01:38:23 ... and there's something from you.
01:38:25 Friend Truman:
01:38:27 It's all over.
01:38:30 Our last appeal has been denied.
01:38:33 Dick and I are allowed
01:38:36 We both pick you.
01:38:39 - You have to come with me.
01:38:43 I'm getting desperate about my new book.
01:38:56 Anyway,
01:38:59 I know I said that...
01:39:01 ...but to see him killed?
01:39:06 It's too much.
01:39:09 - I don't suppose Jack would?
01:39:13 He wouldn't anyway, but...
01:39:15 ...for some reason,
01:39:21 It's like he's jealous.
01:39:28 Truman...
01:39:33 ...are you and Perry?
01:39:35 Please, Nelle.
01:39:39 I'm begging you.
01:39:43 But I couldn't.
01:39:46 And I wouldn't.
01:39:51 I'm sorry, he can't take the call.
01:39:57 It was the boys again.
01:39:59 They want me to help...
01:40:02 ...but I can't help them.
01:40:04 Maybe they want you for comfort.
01:40:12 Rain is good.
01:40:16 I hope he apologizes.
01:40:22 That would really make him sympathetic.
01:40:35 Hey, Truman. Where you been?
01:40:41 I thought you were gonna spend
01:40:43 I couldn't get here earlier.
01:40:53 It's just so late now.
01:40:55 - Hickock, let's get ready.
01:41:00 I have something I want to tell you.
01:41:03 They're gonna ask if you have anything
01:41:10 - That won't bring them back.
01:41:33 It's time.
01:41:36 Anyone saying goodbye
01:41:47 Bye, Truman.
01:41:49 Thanks for it.
01:42:14 Did he say anything to you?
01:42:18 He said he loved me...
01:42:22 ...and he always had.
01:43:09 Richard Eugene Hickock.
01:43:18 Just that I hold no hard feelings.
01:43:22 You people are...
01:43:24 ...sending me to a better world
01:43:52 "The Lord is my shepherd.
01:43:57 He maketh me to lie down
01:44:01 He restoreth my soul.
01:44:03 He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness
01:44:09 Yea, though I walk through
01:44:13 ...I will fear no evil,
01:44:43 Not dead yet.
01:45:13 I still hear breathing.
01:45:47 Okay, he's ready.
01:46:37 Perry Edward Smith.
01:46:44 Friend Truman...
01:46:47 ... I don't know what you did,
01:46:53 There's a gold mine in the sky
01:47:01 We will find it
01:47:09 There'll be a clover just for you
01:47:17 Where the skies are always blue
01:47:26 Far away
01:47:31 Far away
01:47:35 We will find that long lost gold mine
01:47:43 And we'll say hello to friends
01:47:51 When we find that long lost gold mine
01:47:57 In the...
01:48:00 ... sky
01:48:02 "The Lord is my shepherd.
01:48:06 He maketh me..."
01:48:19 Was he able to speak?
01:48:21 Yes, he spoke.
01:48:23 What did he say?
01:48:25 Smith did not speak.
01:48:28 He apologized.
01:48:30 Just chewed his gum.
01:48:34 You saw those two men hanged.
01:48:41 Isn't it painful for you?
01:48:48 Babaling, life is painful.
01:48:52 It's the one experience
01:48:57 I suppose I'm able to endure it...
01:49:02 ...because I can alchemize
01:49:07 Yes, but...
01:49:12 ...at what cost?
01:49:16 It made him the most famous author
01:49:21 He moved to Manhattan where, oddly...
01:49:24 ...he had a very good view
01:49:40 Who ever knows
01:49:44 Who can...
01:49:48 ...defend themselves from it?
01:49:57 Seeing what's happened to him since...
01:50:00 ...well, despite the bravado
01:50:06 ...I have come to feel
01:50:15 ...that there were three deaths
01:50:20 He never wrote anything big again.
01:50:23 Just collections,
01:50:28 God knows he didn't have to write,
01:50:35 It's funny.
01:50:37 It made him, and it ruined him.
01:50:41 You know, in his will...
01:50:45 ...Perry left everything to Truman.
01:50:55 America is not a country
01:51:01 We're not a country like France...
01:51:05 ...where charm,
01:51:09 ...can survive.
01:51:12 We want everything you have...
01:51:14 ...and we want it as fast
01:52:01 Friend TRUMAN
01:52:08 I read an interview with Frank Sinatra...
01:52:12 ...in which he said about Judy Garland:
01:52:15 "Every time she sings, she dies a little."
01:52:21 That's how much she gave.
01:52:27 It's true for writers, too...
01:52:31 ...who hope to create something lasting.
01:52:35 They die a little getting it right.
01:52:40 And then the book comes out...
01:52:44 ... and there's a dinner.
01:52:47 Maybe they give you a prize.
01:52:51 And then comes the inevitable
01:52:56 What's next?
01:53:02 But the next thing can be...
01:53:08 ...so hard...
01:53:13 ...because now you know
01:53:18 Hi, Nelle.
01:53:20 I just began my novel
01:53:24 ...that I want to celebrate.
01:53:26 Want to come to lunch?
01:53:31 No, honey, I don't care where.
01:53:38 Just someplace pretty
01:53:42 ...and be ourselves.
