JFK
|
| 00:00:56 |
January, 1961. |
| 00:00:58 |
President Dwight D. Eisenhower's |
| 00:01:02 |
This conjunction of an immense military |
| 00:01:08 |
...in the American experience. |
| 00:01:10 |
The total influence... |
| 00:01:12 |
...economic, political, even spiritual... |
| 00:01:15 |
...is felt in every city, every Statehouse, |
| 00:01:20 |
We must guard against the acquisition... |
| 00:01:23 |
...of unwarranted influence, |
| 00:01:27 |
...by the military-industrial complex. |
| 00:01:30 |
We must never let the weight |
| 00:01:33 |
...endanger our liberties |
| 00:01:37 |
November, 1960. |
| 00:01:39 |
Senator John Fitzgerald Kennedy |
| 00:01:42 |
...wins one of the narrowest election |
| 00:01:46 |
...over Vice President Richard Nixon |
| 00:01:51 |
Alongside his beautiful |
| 00:01:55 |
...Kennedy is the symbol |
| 00:01:59 |
...signifying change and upheaval |
| 00:02:02 |
"All men are created equal. " |
| 00:02:04 |
Every degree of mind and spirit |
| 00:02:08 |
...to the cause of freedom |
| 00:02:10 |
Today, the proudest boast is: |
| 00:02:13 |
"Ich bin ein Berliner! " |
| 00:02:15 |
He inherits a secret war against the |
| 00:02:20 |
...a war run by the CIA |
| 00:02:24 |
Castro is a successful revolutionary... |
| 00:02:27 |
...frightening to American business |
| 00:02:30 |
This war culminates in the disastrous |
| 00:02:34 |
...in April, 1961... |
| 00:02:36 |
...when Kennedy refuses to provide |
| 00:02:41 |
Kennedy takes public responsibility |
| 00:02:44 |
He privately claims the CIA lied to him... |
| 00:02:47 |
...and tried to manipulate him into ordering |
| 00:02:53 |
In October, 1962... |
| 00:02:56 |
...the world comes to the brink |
| 00:02:59 |
...when Kennedy quarantines Cuba... |
| 00:03:01 |
...after announcing the presence |
| 00:03:05 |
...90 miles off American shores. |
| 00:03:07 |
Soviet ships with more missiles |
| 00:03:11 |
...but at the last moment they turn back. |
| 00:03:13 |
The world breathes with relief. |
| 00:03:15 |
In Washington, rumors abound |
| 00:03:20 |
...with Russian Premier Khrushchev... |
| 00:03:22 |
...not to invade Cuba in return |
| 00:03:26 |
Suspicions abound that Kennedy |
| 00:03:31 |
Kennedy also finds himself embroiled |
| 00:03:35 |
We've got our difficulties there. |
| 00:03:38 |
Unless a greater effort is made |
| 00:03:41 |
...to win popular support, |
| 00:03:45 |
It's their war. They're the ones |
| 00:03:49 |
Early that fateful summer... |
| 00:03:50 |
...Kennedy speaks of his new vision |
| 00:03:54 |
What kind of peace do I mean? |
| 00:03:56 |
What kind of peace do we seek? |
| 00:03:58 |
Not a Pax Americana... |
| 00:04:00 |
...enforced on the world |
| 00:04:04 |
We must re-examine our own attitudes |
| 00:04:08 |
Our most basic, common link... |
| 00:04:11 |
...is that we all inhabit... |
| 00:04:13 |
...this small planet. |
| 00:04:15 |
We all breathe the same air. |
| 00:04:17 |
We all cherish our children's futures. |
| 00:04:20 |
And we are all mortal. |
| 00:04:32 |
You fucking assholes! |
| 00:04:37 |
Don't leave me here! |
| 00:04:42 |
They've gone to Dallas. |
| 00:04:44 |
Friday. |
| 00:04:47 |
They're going to kill... |
| 00:04:50 |
...Kennedy. |
| 00:04:53 |
Call somebody. |
| 00:04:56 |
Stop them. |
| 00:05:01 |
These are serious fucking guys. |
| 00:05:09 |
She's been high on something |
| 00:05:13 |
Help! |
| 00:05:15 |
Please! |
| 00:07:11 |
Here is a bulletin from CBS News. |
| 00:07:14 |
In Dallas, Texas, three shots were fired... |
| 00:07:16 |
...at President Kennedy's motorcade |
| 00:07:20 |
The first reports say |
| 00:07:22 |
...has been seriously wounded |
| 00:07:48 |
What's wrong? |
| 00:07:51 |
The President's been shot. |
| 00:07:53 |
In Dallas. Five minutes ago. |
| 00:07:56 |
Oh, no! |
| 00:08:00 |
How bad? |
| 00:08:02 |
No word. They think it's in the head. |
| 00:08:13 |
Napoleon's has a TV set. |
| 00:08:15 |
Three bullets were found. Gov. Connally |
| 00:08:20 |
The President was rushed to Parkland |
| 00:08:25 |
We are told the bullet entered the base |
| 00:08:30 |
...but there is no confirmation. |
| 00:08:32 |
Blood transfusions are being given. |
| 00:08:39 |
There's still a chance. |
| 00:08:43 |
Pull through, Jack. |
| 00:08:44 |
From Dallas... |
| 00:08:45 |
...the flash, apparently official: |
| 00:08:48 |
President Kennedy died... |
| 00:08:50 |
...at 1:00 p. m. Central Standard Time... |
| 00:08:54 |
...2:00 Eastern Standard Time... |
| 00:08:56 |
...some 38 minutes ago. |
| 00:09:04 |
Vice President Johnson |
| 00:09:07 |
Presumably he will take |
| 00:09:11 |
...and become the 36th President |
| 00:09:16 |
He did so much for this country, |
| 00:09:25 |
Good-bye, you sorry bastard! Die! |
| 00:09:28 |
Shut the fuck up! |
| 00:09:31 |
I'm ashamed to be an American today. |
| 00:09:34 |
The President of the United States is dead. |
| 00:09:38 |
I just talked to Father Oscar Hubert |
| 00:09:43 |
He told me... |
| 00:09:45 |
...President Kennedy has been given |
| 00:09:49 |
Shortly after 12:30... |
| 00:09:53 |
...near the park in downtown Dallas... |
| 00:09:56 |
...the shots rang out. |
| 00:09:58 |
The President is dead. |
| 00:10:01 |
The bullets came up over our heads... |
| 00:10:04 |
...from that fence up on the knoll. |
| 00:10:07 |
I seen his face when it hit. |
| 00:10:11 |
His ear blew off and he turned real white. |
| 00:10:18 |
He flopped over on his stomach... |
| 00:10:23 |
...with his foot sticking out. |
| 00:10:27 |
None of us thought it could happen |
| 00:10:31 |
All this blubbering over |
| 00:10:35 |
They're bawling like they knew the man. |
| 00:10:39 |
For God's sake, the President was shot. |
| 00:10:42 |
A bullshit President! |
| 00:10:44 |
Nobody's crying for the thousands |
| 00:10:48 |
...that bastard condemned to death |
| 00:10:52 |
Goddamn peace treaties! |
| 00:10:55 |
I heard shots from over there. |
| 00:10:57 |
- I heard shots from over there. |
| 00:11:01 |
That's what happens |
| 00:11:05 |
They get together with the Jews |
| 00:11:09 |
...and elect an Irish bleeding heart. |
| 00:11:11 |
Chief, maybe you had too much to drink. |
| 00:11:14 |
Bullshit! |
| 00:11:16 |
Here's to the New Frontier. |
| 00:11:19 |
Camelot in smithereens. |
| 00:11:22 |
I'll drink to that. |
| 00:11:29 |
Dallas police have just announced... |
| 00:11:32 |
...they have a suspect in the killing |
| 00:11:37 |
...who was shot at 1:15 in Oak Cliff, |
| 00:11:41 |
Police say there could be a tie-in |
| 00:11:45 |
The suspect, |
| 00:11:49 |
...was arrested by more |
| 00:11:52 |
...after a short scuffle at a movie theater |
| 00:11:57 |
Officer Tippit was killed... |
| 00:12:00 |
...by a revolver which was found |
| 00:12:05 |
Shoot the bastard! |
| 00:12:06 |
Give him a medal for shooting Kennedy! |
| 00:12:12 |
I don't know what I am charged with... |
| 00:12:15 |
...but I emphatically deny these charges. |
| 00:12:19 |
The kid must've gone nuts, right? |
| 00:12:23 |
I said, Oswald must've flipped. |
| 00:12:25 |
Right? |
| 00:12:28 |
Just did this crazy thing |
| 00:12:31 |
I'm going. I've got to get home, Chief. |
| 00:12:34 |
What are you talking about? |
| 00:12:37 |
Who'd have ever thought... |
| 00:12:39 |
...that goofy Oswald kid would pull |
| 00:12:44 |
Goes to show you can never know |
| 00:12:49 |
Am I right, Jack? |
| 00:12:50 |
Well, bless my soul. |
| 00:12:53 |
All these years, |
| 00:12:57 |
Are you kidding? |
| 00:13:00 |
I couldn't be more serious, Jack. |
| 00:13:03 |
Your little red eyes have me wondering |
| 00:13:15 |
Look at that, Martin. |
| 00:13:20 |
Who's been going through my files? |
| 00:13:23 |
You've been looking through my files, |
| 00:13:27 |
You're starting to get paranoid. Really! |
| 00:13:31 |
You went through all my files! |
| 00:13:33 |
You're a goddamn spy! |
| 00:13:35 |
Why would I want to look |
| 00:13:37 |
I've seen enough here this summer |
| 00:13:41 |
I always lock my files! |
| 00:13:43 |
You're the only one here today. |
| 00:13:46 |
What do you mean, you bastard? |
| 00:13:49 |
You're going to write a book? |
| 00:13:51 |
You know what I mean. |
| 00:13:54 |
I've seen a lot of strange things here. |
| 00:13:57 |
Strange people. |
| 00:14:07 |
You didn't see a goddamn thing! |
| 00:14:10 |
Not a goddamn thing! |
| 00:14:12 |
The full name is Lee Harvey Oswald. |
| 00:14:16 |
- Did you shoot the President? |
| 00:14:20 |
They have taken me in |
| 00:14:25 |
I'm just a patsy! |
| 00:14:27 |
He sure looks like a creep. |
| 00:14:30 |
I protested at that time I was not allowed |
| 00:14:36 |
...during that very short and sweet hearing. |
| 00:14:39 |
I really don't know... |
| 00:14:41 |
...what this situation is about. |
| 00:14:43 |
Nobody has told me anything |
| 00:14:47 |
...of murdering a policeman. |
| 00:14:49 |
I know nothing more than that. |
| 00:14:50 |
I do request someone to come forward... |
| 00:14:55 |
...to give me legal assistance. |
| 00:14:57 |
Were you ever in the Free Cuba movement |
| 00:15:00 |
It's the Fair Play for Cuba Committee. |
| 00:15:03 |
Why were you in Russia? |
| 00:15:06 |
He seems pretty cool |
| 00:15:09 |
A policeman hit me. |
| 00:15:11 |
He gives me the willies. |
| 00:15:12 |
Come on, sugarplums, |
| 00:15:16 |
Mattie, honey, get a hold of yourself. |
| 00:15:23 |
A fine man. |
| 00:15:26 |
After a stint in the Marines... |
| 00:15:29 |
...he became fascinated by communism. |
| 00:15:33 |
...and a fanatical supporter of Fidel Castro |
| 00:15:38 |
He spent last summer in New Orleans |
| 00:15:41 |
...in a brawl with anti-Castro Cuban exiles. |
| 00:15:47 |
Lou? Sorry to disturb you this late. |
| 00:15:51 |
Matter of routine. Get on |
| 00:15:55 |
Check out his record. Find any friends |
| 00:16:00 |
Let's meet with the investigators |
| 00:16:04 |
On Sunday? |
| 00:16:06 |
Sunday. 11:00. |
| 00:16:08 |
Thanks, Lou. |
| 00:16:10 |
I would say that he is the killer... |
| 00:16:13 |
...beyond a reasonable doubt |
| 00:16:17 |
I thought a motorcycle had backfired. |
| 00:16:21 |
A second shot hit him in the face. |
| 00:16:23 |
The rifle, a cheap World War ll, |
| 00:16:28 |
...was ordered from |
| 00:16:31 |
...and shipped to Oswald's alias, |
| 00:16:34 |
...at a post office box in March of 1963. |
| 00:16:37 |
This same rifle was used |
| 00:16:41 |
That ties it up. |
| 00:16:43 |
Another nut. Jesus Christ, |
| 00:16:47 |
As far as Oswald's associates, |
| 00:16:52 |
Oswald was seen with him |
| 00:16:56 |
I know David. Strange character. |
| 00:16:59 |
He's been in trouble before. He was |
| 00:17:03 |
Got canned after an alleged |
| 00:17:06 |
These photos were found yesterday |
| 00:17:10 |
...in the garage where Marina Oswald |
| 00:17:14 |
Somebody mentioned Ferrie |
| 00:17:18 |
He no shoot anyone. |
| 00:17:21 |
He good man. Good husband. |
| 00:17:24 |
So it seems David Ferrie drove off |
| 00:17:28 |
A source said he might have been |
| 00:17:33 |
Hold your horses. |
| 00:17:35 |
What kind of source? |
| 00:17:36 |
The anonymous kind, Chief. |
| 00:17:39 |
I remember Ferrie speaking |
| 00:17:43 |
...ranting against Castro. Extreme stuff. |
| 00:17:48 |
They're bringing him out. |
| 00:17:52 |
Here he comes! |
| 00:17:59 |
Anything to say in your defense? |
| 00:18:02 |
Oswald! |
| 00:18:05 |
He shot him! |
| 00:18:09 |
He shot him on TV! |
| 00:18:13 |
There's a man with a gun! |
| 00:18:17 |
Seventy cops there. |
| 00:18:21 |
No trial now. Somebody just saved |
| 00:18:32 |
Let's get David Ferrie in here anyway. |
| 00:18:35 |
It's wrong. This is crazy! |
| 00:18:52 |
Yesterday, in the midst of sorrow, |
| 00:18:57 |
The President met with Henry Cabot Lodge, |
| 00:19:02 |
...and members of his Cabinet. |
| 00:19:03 |
The major subject was Vietnam... |
| 00:19:06 |
...a crisis that does not pause |
| 00:19:09 |
From this meeting... |
| 00:19:10 |
...came affirmations that |
| 00:19:14 |
...the new government of Vietnam in |
| 00:19:26 |
David Ferrie. |
| 00:19:29 |
Come on in. |
| 00:19:31 |
Thanks for coming. |
| 00:19:33 |
Remember me? We met |
| 00:19:38 |
I remember. |
| 00:19:41 |
I've heard you're a first-rate pilot. |
| 00:19:45 |
Legend has it you can get in |
| 00:19:49 |
I'm a pilot myself. Flew grasshoppers |
| 00:19:54 |
Make yourself comfortable. |
| 00:19:57 |
Mind if I smoke? |
| 00:20:00 |
How could I? |
| 00:20:02 |
As you know, President Kennedy |
| 00:20:05 |
A man named Lee Harvey Oswald |
| 00:20:09 |
...then murdered yesterday |
| 00:20:13 |
We've had reports that Oswald |
| 00:20:16 |
...and that you knew Oswald. |
| 00:20:19 |
I've never met anyone named Oswald. |
| 00:20:23 |
He served in your Civil Air Patrol unit |
| 00:20:27 |
If he did, I don't remember him. |
| 00:20:30 |
Lots of boys in and out. |
| 00:20:32 |
Surely you've seen this. Perhaps |
| 00:20:39 |
I never saw him before in my life. |
| 00:20:42 |
Then we must have gotten |
| 00:20:46 |
Thanks for straightening it out. |
| 00:20:50 |
There's one other matter. |
| 00:20:54 |
We heard you went to Texas |
| 00:20:59 |
True. I drove to Houston. |
| 00:21:01 |
What was so appealing about Houston? |
| 00:21:04 |
I hadn't been ice-skating lately. |
| 00:21:08 |
...decided to go skating. |
| 00:21:10 |
Why the urge to ice-skate in Texas... |
| 00:21:12 |
...during one of the worst thunderstorms |
| 00:21:18 |
Spur-of-the-moment thing. |
| 00:21:20 |
Storm wasn't that bad. |
| 00:21:24 |
Where did you drive? |
| 00:21:26 |
We went to Houston. |
| 00:21:28 |
Saturday we drove to Galveston, |
| 00:21:31 |
And Sunday? |
| 00:21:33 |
In the morning, we went goose hunting. |
| 00:21:36 |
Did you bag any? |
| 00:21:38 |
The boys got a couple. |
| 00:21:40 |
Boys said they didn't get any. |
| 00:21:46 |
They're right. |
| 00:21:47 |
There were thousands |
| 00:21:52 |
But you couldn't approach them. |
| 00:21:56 |
Your friends said you had no weapons. |
| 00:22:00 |
Isn't it difficult to hunt geese |
| 00:22:08 |
I remember now. I'm sorry. |
| 00:22:11 |
I got confused. |
| 00:22:12 |
We got near the geese, then realized |
| 00:22:18 |
Stupid, right? |
| 00:22:20 |
So, of course, we didn't get any geese. |
| 00:22:24 |
Thank you for your time. |
| 00:22:27 |
Sorry this must end inconveniently... |
| 00:22:29 |
...but I must detain you for questioning |
| 00:22:33 |
Why? What's wrong? |
| 00:22:35 |
Your story is not believable. |
| 00:22:39 |
Really? |
| 00:22:43 |
What part? |
| 00:23:04 |
This afternoon the FBI released |
| 00:23:08 |
...of New Orleans. |
| 00:23:10 |
After extensive questioning |
| 00:23:13 |
...the Bureau found no evidence |
| 00:23:18 |
...or had any connection |
| 00:23:23 |
The agent in charge would like |
| 00:23:26 |
...that Ferrie was brought in |
| 00:23:29 |
...by the District Attorney |
| 00:23:32 |
I thought we were on the same side. |
| 00:23:35 |
Why are they saying that? |
| 00:23:37 |
Pretty fast, the way they let him go. |
| 00:23:40 |
They must know something we don't. |
| 00:23:43 |
So let's get on with our lives. |
| 00:23:46 |
We have many homegrown crimes |
| 00:23:48 |
The President has announced... |
| 00:23:50 |
...the creation of a commission |
| 00:23:55 |
It will be headed |
| 00:23:59 |
...and is expected to head off |
| 00:24:04 |
On the panel are Allen Dulles, |
| 00:24:07 |
...Representative Gerald Ford, |
| 00:24:15 |
Fucking out of control. |
| 00:24:21 |
You can't tell a boy from a girl anymore. |
| 00:24:25 |
I saw a girl the other day. Pregnant. |
| 00:24:29 |
You know what she had painted on it? |
| 00:24:39 |
It's a mess down there, Jim. |
| 00:24:41 |
We've bitten off more Vietnam |
| 00:24:44 |
It figures with that polecat Lyndon |
| 00:24:50 |
I sometimes think things have gone |
| 00:24:55 |
Don't get me started on that. |
| 00:24:56 |
Those Warren Commission fellows |
| 00:25:01 |
Nobody's going to tell me that kid |
| 00:25:08 |
But the FBI test-fired the rifle |
| 00:25:11 |
Three experts and not one |
| 00:25:14 |
They say that Oswald got off three shots |
| 00:25:19 |
...from a manual bolt-action rifle |
| 00:25:23 |
According to his Marine buddies, |
| 00:25:26 |
That means he wasn't any good. |
| 00:25:29 |
Average man would be lucky |
| 00:25:32 |
And the first would be the best. |
| 00:25:35 |
Here the third shot's perfect. |
| 00:25:37 |
And they got that bullet zigzagging |
| 00:25:40 |
...hitting Kennedy and Connally |
| 00:25:44 |
One pristine bullet? That dog don't hunt. |
| 00:25:50 |
Something's always bothered me |
| 00:25:54 |
Think other men were involved? |
| 00:25:57 |
If I was investigating the case, I'd round |
| 00:26:02 |
...and find out which ones were |
| 00:26:05 |
You been duck hunting. |
| 00:26:09 |
What did he say? "I'm just a patsy! " |
| 00:26:24 |
Dinner's just about ready. |
| 00:26:28 |
Got a surprise for you tonight. |
| 00:26:38 |
- What? |
| 00:26:41 |
Smells good. Do you know Oswald... |
| 00:26:43 |
...was interrogated for 12 hours |
| 00:26:47 |
...with no lawyer present, |
| 00:26:52 |
I can't believe it. An experienced |
| 00:26:56 |
...had to know that with no record, |
| 00:27:01 |
Let's talk at the table. It's getting cold. |
| 00:27:04 |
What are you doing here? |
| 00:27:06 |
Daddy said it's okay if I'm quiet. |
| 00:27:09 |
Sure it is. |
| 00:27:10 |
If I handled a minor felon that way, |
| 00:27:13 |
This is the alleged murderer |
| 00:27:22 |
Again and again |
| 00:27:26 |
Leads are not followed up, |
| 00:27:30 |
It's the sloppiest investigation |
| 00:27:35 |
Dozens of witnesses heard the shots... |
| 00:27:39 |
...coming from the grassy knoll |
| 00:27:41 |
...not the Book Depository behind him. |
| 00:27:45 |
But it's broken down and spread around. |
| 00:27:49 |
I never believed it. |
| 00:27:52 |
I'll do the dishes. You take Eb up. |
| 00:27:56 |
Elizabeth, your bedtime too! |
| 00:27:58 |
That was three years ago. |
| 00:28:02 |
You keep digging it up. |
| 00:28:05 |
You're the DA of New Orleans. |
| 00:28:07 |
Isn't the Kennedy assassination |
| 00:28:11 |
All those important people studied it. |
| 00:28:13 |
I can't believe a man as intelligent |
| 00:28:19 |
Maybe you're right. |
| 00:28:21 |
You got an hour to solve the case |
| 00:28:26 |
Then you're mine. Mr. Kennedy |
| 00:28:35 |
Look, Dad. Look what I drew. |
| 00:28:38 |
That's something. What is it? |
| 00:28:40 |
It's a rhino in a cage. |
| 00:28:42 |
- Can I stay up another hour? |
| 00:28:45 |
Pickle and Snapper, my two... |
| 00:28:49 |
...dancing partners. |
| 00:28:50 |
Good night, doodlebugs. |
| 00:28:53 |
One hour, you hear? |
| 00:28:55 |
Some Saturday-night date you are. |
| 00:28:58 |
Mama warned me this would happen |
| 00:29:03 |
When I come up, I'll show you |
| 00:29:31 |
I sealed off the area and held off the |
| 00:29:36 |
There were some transients taken on |
| 00:29:41 |
Mr. Bowers, you already talked to us |
| 00:29:47 |
Yes. |
| 00:29:48 |
Is there anything else you told us... |
| 00:29:50 |
...that I haven't asked you about, |
| 00:29:55 |
Nothing that I can recall. |
| 00:29:57 |
Witness is excused. |
| 00:30:01 |
A long freight was in there... |
| 00:30:02 |
...and we pulled some people off |
| 00:30:09 |
Do you mean some transients? |
| 00:30:11 |
Tramps and hobos. |
| 00:30:13 |
Were they questioned? |
| 00:30:15 |
They were questioned at the station. |
| 00:30:18 |
Ask the question. |
| 00:30:20 |
Let's go back to that Amos Euins matter. |
| 00:30:24 |
Traffic had been cut off |
| 00:30:28 |
But three cars came in during this time... |
| 00:30:33 |
...from around noon till the time |
| 00:30:36 |
They circled the parking lot and left. |
| 00:30:39 |
Like they was checking the area. |
| 00:30:43 |
One of the drivers... |
| 00:30:44 |
...was holding something up to his mouth. |
| 00:30:49 |
The last car came in about seven |
| 00:30:56 |
It was a white Chevrolet four-door Impala. |
| 00:31:00 |
Muddy up to the windows. |
| 00:31:03 |
Towards the underpass, I saw two men... |
| 00:31:07 |
...standing behind a picket fence... |
| 00:31:10 |
...looking up towards Main and Houston, |
| 00:31:16 |
One of them was middle-aged... |
| 00:31:18 |
...heavyset. |
| 00:31:20 |
The other man was younger. |
| 00:31:23 |
Two other men were on the east end |
| 00:31:26 |
They both had uniforms. |
| 00:31:29 |
At the time of the shooting... |
| 00:31:31 |
...there seemed to be some commotion. |
| 00:31:36 |
I'm just unable to describe... |
| 00:31:40 |
...a flash of light or smoke or something... |
| 00:31:44 |
...which caused me to feel that something |
| 00:31:47 |
...had occurred on the embankment. |
| 00:31:49 |
Goddamn. |
| 00:32:08 |
No! |
| 00:32:14 |
- You all right? |
| 00:32:18 |
What? |
| 00:32:20 |
The whole thing. |
| 00:32:22 |
A Lt. Colonel testifies that... |
| 00:32:24 |
...Oswald had a Russian language exam |
| 00:32:28 |
...only a few months before he defects |
| 00:32:32 |
A Russian exam. |
| 00:32:34 |
It's 4:30 in the morning! |
| 00:32:38 |
In all my years in the military, I never |
| 00:32:44 |
Oswald was a radar operator. |
| 00:32:46 |
He'd have about as much use for Russian |
| 00:32:50 |
These books have gotten to your mind! |
| 00:32:53 |
- Stop reading. |
| 00:32:56 |
Oswald did badly on his test. |
| 00:32:59 |
He got only two more Russian words right |
| 00:33:02 |
That's like me saying, |
| 00:33:06 |
...because I beat him three games |
| 00:33:10 |
Are you going to stay up all night, |
| 00:33:15 |
To be the only man who's read |
| 00:33:18 |
Do I have to spell it out for you? |
| 00:33:21 |
Lee Oswald was no ordinary soldier. |
| 00:33:25 |
He was in military intelligence, |
| 00:33:28 |
It was no accident he was in Russia. |
| 00:33:31 |
- Go back to sleep. |
| 00:33:52 |
'Morning boys. Ready for a walking tour? |
| 00:33:55 |
7:30 Sunday morning? |
| 00:33:59 |
Old stains, but just as telling. |
| 00:34:09 |
531 Lafayette Street. |
| 00:34:12 |
Remember whose office this was in '63? |
| 00:34:15 |
Sure. Guy Banister. |
| 00:34:18 |
Ex-FBI man. Died a couple of years ago. |
| 00:34:23 |
He headed the Chicago office. When he |
| 00:34:28 |
I used to have lunch with him. |
| 00:34:32 |
To the right of Attila the Hun. |
| 00:34:34 |
Recruited students to infiltrate |
| 00:34:39 |
Headed the Anti-Communist League |
| 00:34:42 |
All out of this office. |
| 00:34:48 |
I want to show you something. |
| 00:34:58 |
Take a look here. |
| 00:35:00 |
544 Camp Street. |
| 00:35:03 |
531 Lafayette Street. |
| 00:35:05 |
Same building, right? |
| 00:35:07 |
Different addresses, different entrances, |
| 00:35:12 |
...to the office upstairs. |
| 00:35:14 |
Guess who used it? |
| 00:35:18 |
Lee Harvey Oswald. |
| 00:35:21 |
How do we know that? |
| 00:35:23 |
This address was stamped on... |
| 00:35:25 |
...pro-Castro leaflets he handed out |
| 00:35:30 |
The same leaflets they found |
| 00:35:36 |
After the arrest, 544 Camp St. |
| 00:35:42 |
He was arrested for fighting |
| 00:35:46 |
But he'd contacted them already... |
| 00:35:48 |
...as an ex-Marine trying |
| 00:35:53 |
When they heard he was now pro-Castro, |
| 00:35:57 |
What's this Fidel shit? You lied to me! |
| 00:36:01 |
Liar! Son of a bitch! |
| 00:36:04 |
Do not take this Communist propaganda! |
| 00:36:07 |
If you want to hit me, hit me. |
| 00:36:09 |
You pinko shit! |
| 00:36:11 |
Go back to Moscow! |
| 00:36:13 |
There was no real fight. |
| 00:36:14 |
The arresting Lieutenant later said |
| 00:36:19 |
In jail, Oswald has a private session... |
| 00:36:21 |
...with Special Agent John Quigley |
| 00:36:25 |
Oswald is released. |
| 00:36:27 |
And Quigley destroys his notes |
| 00:36:30 |
The arrest gets Oswald a lot of publicity. |
| 00:36:33 |
And he appears on a local TV debate. |
| 00:36:36 |
You are a Communist, are you not? |
| 00:36:38 |
No, Mr. Bringuier. I am not a Communist. |
| 00:36:43 |
Communist, Marxist-Leninist, |
| 00:36:48 |
What if I told you Oswald was trained |
| 00:36:54 |
I'd say he got intelligence training. |
| 00:36:56 |
You were a Marine. Who'd run it? |
| 00:36:58 |
Office of Naval Intelligence. |
| 00:37:01 |
Look across the street. |
| 00:37:04 |
Post Office. |
| 00:37:05 |
Upstairs, in 1963, |
| 00:37:10 |
By coincidence, Banister, |
| 00:37:14 |
What's their saying? |
| 00:37:15 |
"Once ONl, always ONl. " |
| 00:37:18 |
He likes working near his old pals. |
| 00:37:24 |
We are standing in the heart... |
| 00:37:25 |
...of the US government's intelligence |
| 00:37:29 |
That's the FBl. |
| 00:37:31 |
That's the CIA. |
| 00:37:32 |
That's the Secret Service. |
| 00:37:34 |
That's the ONl. |
| 00:37:35 |
Isn't this a strange place... |
| 00:37:38 |
...for a Communist |
| 00:37:44 |
What are you driving at? |
| 00:37:49 |
We're going back into the case. |
| 00:37:52 |
The murder of the President. |
| 00:37:53 |
Lord, wake me. I must be dreaming. |
| 00:37:56 |
You're awake. I'm deadly serious. |
| 00:37:59 |
Let's track down your anonymous source |
| 00:38:02 |
How'd you find out David Ferrie drove |
| 00:38:05 |
I can't remember last night, |
| 00:38:14 |
You're not being cross-examined. |
| 00:38:16 |
I need clarification about the night |
| 00:38:21 |
Don't tell me you don't remember. |
| 00:38:23 |
You called our office from your hospital |
| 00:38:29 |
Here's my problem. |
| 00:38:31 |
You told me you and Guy were |
| 00:38:35 |
- Over ten years. |
| 00:38:37 |
Never touched me. |
| 00:38:39 |
Yet, on November 22, 1963... |
| 00:38:42 |
...the day of the President's murder... |
| 00:38:44 |
...the police report says... |
| 00:38:47 |
...he pistol-whipped you |
| 00:38:51 |
It also says you argued |
| 00:38:55 |
Is an argument over a phone bill |
| 00:39:02 |
There's more to it. |
| 00:39:05 |
How much more? |
| 00:39:07 |
I shouldn't talk about it. |
| 00:39:09 |
I'd ask Guy. We were friendly. |
| 00:39:13 |
You buy what you read in the papers. |
| 00:39:15 |
- You have other information? |
| 00:39:18 |
All I know is he died suddenly. |
| 00:39:25 |
Why did Guy beat you, Jack? |
| 00:39:35 |
You were the only one here! |
| 00:39:37 |
The only one here! |
| 00:39:43 |
You didn't see a goddamn thing! |
| 00:39:46 |
Hell, Guy's dead, so it don't matter |
| 00:39:51 |
...people that was hanging |
| 00:39:56 |
I was never part of the operation. |
| 00:39:58 |
I just handled their private-eye work |
| 00:40:02 |
Not much did, but that's why I was there. |
| 00:40:07 |
It was a nuthouse. |
| 00:40:09 |
Cubans coming, going. And Christ, |
| 00:40:15 |
You going to play with |
| 00:40:18 |
Dave Ferrie. |
| 00:40:19 |
- You know about him? |
| 00:40:24 |
He practically lived there. |
| 00:40:27 |
The whole thing was... |
| 00:40:30 |
...all cloak-and-dagger stuff. |
| 00:40:32 |
They called it "Operation Mongoose. " |
| 00:40:36 |
The idea was to train these Cuban exiles |
| 00:40:41 |
Banister's office was part |
| 00:40:44 |
...from Dallas through New Orleans |
| 00:40:47 |
We stockpiled arms, explosives. |
| 00:40:49 |
In view of the intelligence community |
| 00:40:53 |
Yes. Everybody knew everybody. |
| 00:40:57 |
All worked for the CIA. |
| 00:41:00 |
Pilots and black operators |
| 00:41:05 |
Everybody was running guns then. |
| 00:41:08 |
Ft. Jefferson, Bayou Bluff, |
| 00:41:12 |
McAllen, Texas? Big gun-run operation. |
| 00:41:19 |
Where does Banister fit in? |
| 00:41:22 |
He was running his camp |
| 00:41:25 |
Ferrie did a lot of the training. |
| 00:41:26 |
They had a shooting range |
| 00:41:32 |
Some Americans were trained there too. |
| 00:41:34 |
Nazi types. Mercenaries. |
| 00:41:37 |
That Ferrie, though, |
| 00:41:42 |
Late summer the party was over. |
| 00:41:48 |
He told the FBl, "Shut up the camp. |
| 00:41:51 |
"Confiscate the napalm, C-4 and all. " |
| 00:41:54 |
The G-men were just going |
| 00:41:58 |
Their hearts were still |
| 00:42:04 |
Oswald? |
| 00:42:10 |
He was there too. |
| 00:42:12 |
Sometimes meeting with Banister. |
| 00:42:18 |
With the door shut. |
| 00:42:22 |
Shootin' the bull with Ferrie, whatever. |
| 00:42:26 |
Anything more specific, Jack? |
| 00:42:28 |
It's important. |
| 00:42:33 |
One time, the secretary got upset. |
| 00:42:36 |
I can't believe it, Mr. Banister, |
| 00:42:40 |
...handing out Communist leaflets |
| 00:42:48 |
It's okay, Delphine, he's with us. |
| 00:42:53 |
Was anyone else involved at... |
| 00:42:54 |
...Banister's level? |
| 00:42:57 |
One guy. I don't know who. |
| 00:43:00 |
Big. White hair. |
| 00:43:02 |
I saw him in the office once. |
| 00:43:06 |
You know, a society guy. |
| 00:43:09 |
Can't remember his name, |
| 00:43:13 |
He had something to do with money, |
| 00:43:17 |
...but he kissed his. |
| 00:43:27 |
Clay something. |
| 00:43:28 |
That was his name. Clay... |
| 00:43:30 |
- Bertrand? |
| 00:43:31 |
- Clay Bertrand? |
| 00:43:34 |
- Maybe not. |
| 00:43:36 |
I must go. |
| 00:43:38 |
He was in the Warren Report. |
| 00:43:42 |
Was Kennedy discussed? |
| 00:43:43 |
I don't know. |
| 00:43:45 |
- The assassination? |
| 00:43:47 |
- Not with me. I've got to go. |
| 00:43:50 |
- That's all I'll say. |
| 00:43:57 |
Do I have to spell it out for you? |
| 00:43:59 |
Nobody knows what |
| 00:44:03 |
You are so naive. |
| 00:44:15 |
- When'd you do business with Bertrand? |
| 00:44:21 |
- Lawdy. |
| 00:44:26 |
- You should try a legitimate business. |
| 00:44:30 |
- We've been friends since law school. |
| 00:44:33 |
- I read your testimony. |
| 00:44:36 |
You said Clay Bertrand called you |
| 00:44:40 |
- ... and asked you to be Oswald's lawyer. |
| 00:44:44 |
That's pretty important. |
| 00:44:46 |
You told the FBI he's 6' 2". |
| 00:44:51 |
How the hell does a man shrink like that? |
| 00:44:54 |
They put the heat on me, like you. I gave |
| 00:44:59 |
Truth is, I never met the dude. |
| 00:45:03 |
- One likes friends that have friends. |
| 00:45:05 |
I don't know what that cat looks like |
| 00:45:09 |
All I know is sometimes |
| 00:45:12 |
One day he calls, talks to me |
| 00:45:16 |
- You ever speak to Oswald in Dallas? |
| 00:45:18 |
I told that Bertrand cat right off |
| 00:45:22 |
- I'm a hack. He needs a hot dog. |
| 00:45:27 |
Like I told the Washington boys... |
| 00:45:29 |
...Bertrand asked me that summer to help |
| 00:45:34 |
Mr. Bertrand said |
| 00:45:38 |
Fine. |
| 00:45:39 |
- To whom am I speaking? |
| 00:45:43 |
There was no conspiracy. If there was, |
| 00:45:48 |
He was his brother. |
| 00:45:50 |
How'd so many people keep such a secret? |
| 00:45:53 |
- It was Oswald. He hated- |
| 00:45:57 |
I know you know who Clay Bertrand is. |
| 00:46:02 |
I'm aware of our friendship, |
| 00:46:08 |
You lie to them as you lied to me, |
| 00:46:12 |
I took nine judges on here in New Orleans. |
| 00:46:14 |
I beat them all. |
| 00:46:19 |
Off the record? |
| 00:46:23 |
In that case, let me sum it up for you. |
| 00:46:30 |
If I answer that question you keep asking... |
| 00:46:33 |
...if I give you the name |
| 00:46:37 |
...then it's bon voyage, Deano. |
| 00:46:40 |
Like a bullet in my head, you dig? |
| 00:46:42 |
You're a mouse fighting a gorilla. |
| 00:46:47 |
The government's still breathing. |
| 00:46:50 |
Either you give the grand jury |
| 00:46:53 |
...or your fat behind's |
| 00:46:56 |
You're as crazy as your mama. |
| 00:47:00 |
Do you know what you're getting into? |
| 00:47:03 |
The government will jump all over |
| 00:47:08 |
Good day to you, sir. |
| 00:47:15 |
District Attorney Garrison |
| 00:47:18 |
Ward block 237B. |
| 00:47:34 |
We don't need gates with that swamp. |
| 00:47:37 |
Many of them gone in there, |
| 00:47:55 |
You got visitors here. |
| 00:47:59 |
- How you doing, Mr. Broussard? |
| 00:48:14 |
Thank you, Mr. O'Keefe, for this time. |
| 00:48:17 |
I got nothing but time. |
| 00:48:19 |
Minutes, hours, days. Years of it. |
| 00:48:22 |
Time stands still here, |
| 00:48:27 |
Clay Bertrand? |
| 00:48:32 |
I met him sometime in... |
| 00:48:34 |
...June of '62. The Masquerade Bar. |
| 00:48:38 |
Dave Ferrie took me there |
| 00:48:41 |
Sexual purposes? |
| 00:48:44 |
Did he pay you? |
| 00:48:46 |
$20 each time. Ain't no secret. |
| 00:48:49 |
Anything unusual about him... |
| 00:48:51 |
...you'd be able to describe in court? |
| 00:48:53 |
He had something wrong with his leg, |
| 00:48:57 |
Don't get me wrong. |
| 00:49:00 |
He's a butch John. Meet him on the street, |
| 00:49:03 |
You could play poker with him, |
| 00:49:08 |
One night we were at David Ferrie's... |
| 00:49:11 |
...sometime late in the summer of '63. |
| 00:49:15 |
There was about nine to ten people there. |
| 00:49:18 |
Cuban. Friends who'd done stuff |
| 00:49:23 |
Dave's mind was a mess. |
| 00:49:26 |
...'cause he's working on a cancer cure. |
| 00:49:30 |
Dave's smart, though. |
| 00:49:33 |
Knows philosophy, medicine, |
| 00:49:38 |
He wanted to be a priest. |
| 00:49:43 |
That's where you first met Oswald? |
| 00:49:46 |
Strange guy. Dave introduced him as... |
| 00:49:48 |
Leon Oswald. |
| 00:49:50 |
How you doing? |
| 00:49:52 |
What the fuck is he doing here? |
| 00:49:54 |
Fuck you, motherfucker. |
| 00:49:58 |
Leon's in a bad mood. Don't get excited. |
| 00:50:02 |
You said Leon was actually |
| 00:50:04 |
Yeah. I have no reason to lie to you. |
| 00:50:08 |
I'm already in jail. |
| 00:50:10 |
Go on. |
| 00:50:11 |
Finally they left |
| 00:50:14 |
...and this Leon... |
| 00:50:16 |
...two of the Cubans, |
| 00:50:20 |
Dave pulled out some clippings. |
| 00:50:22 |
He'd been obsessed with Castro |
| 00:50:27 |
Little ass-wipe closed down the camps! |
| 00:50:30 |
Took 10,000 rounds! |
| 00:50:34 |
All our weapons! |
| 00:50:38 |
You want to free Cuba? |
| 00:50:40 |
Kennedy won't let us. |
| 00:50:44 |
Problem is getting to him. |
| 00:50:47 |
They got new stuff! |
| 00:50:49 |
I could show you dozens of poisons! |
| 00:50:54 |
No trace! |
| 00:50:55 |
Put something in his beard, |
| 00:51:00 |
Fucking Kennedy is doing all kinds of deals |
| 00:51:05 |
Licking his ass. |
| 00:51:08 |
An inspired act of God should happen here |
| 00:51:15 |
The Cubans left. Dave was drunk. |
| 00:51:19 |
He started in on Kennedy again. |
| 00:51:21 |
I will kill! In the White House! |
| 00:51:25 |
Somebody must get rid of him! |
| 00:51:28 |
You won't get that son of a bitch! |
| 00:51:31 |
It won't be long. |
| 00:51:35 |
It could be blamed on Castro, |
| 00:51:38 |
We just need to get him in the open. |
| 00:51:40 |
Always some harebrained scheme. |
| 00:51:47 |
Let's have some more champagne, |
| 00:51:50 |
What about the Secret Service? The cops? |
| 00:51:53 |
If it's planned right, no problem. |
| 00:51:57 |
Eisenhower always rode in open top. |
| 00:51:59 |
We need three mechanics |
| 00:52:03 |
An office building, a high-powered rifle. |
| 00:52:06 |
Triangulation of crossfire, that's the key. |
| 00:52:10 |
A diversionary shot |
| 00:52:13 |
Boom! Get the kill shot. |
| 00:52:16 |
One man has to be sacrificed. |
| 00:52:19 |
In the commotion, the job gets done. |
| 00:52:21 |
The others leave the country. |
| 00:52:24 |
Let's drop this subject. |
| 00:52:28 |
...but this sort of thing could be |
| 00:52:33 |
I didn't think much about it then. |
| 00:52:37 |
People like to act more important |
| 00:52:40 |
Especially in the homosexual underworld. |
| 00:52:43 |
But when they got him... |
| 00:52:45 |
...I got scared. |
| 00:52:47 |
Real scared. |
| 00:52:49 |
That's when I got popped. |
| 00:52:51 |
The things you said will be attacked |
| 00:52:54 |
Bring them on. Bring their college degrees |
| 00:52:59 |
No one can buy me. |
| 00:53:01 |
- I don't even need this parole. |
| 00:53:05 |
You liberal, you don't know shit |
| 00:53:10 |
This ain't about justice! |
| 00:53:14 |
Who rules? Fascism is coming back. |
| 00:53:17 |
Nobody wants to buy you. |
| 00:53:22 |
What I need to know |
| 00:53:27 |
'Cause that motherfucker Kennedy... |
| 00:53:30 |
...stole that motherfucking election, |
| 00:53:33 |
Nixon was going to be a great President |
| 00:53:37 |
Niggers wanting rights! |
| 00:53:41 |
He promised those motherfuckers |
| 00:53:44 |
Revolution's coming, bullshit! |
| 00:53:47 |
The day that Communist son of a bitch |
| 00:53:52 |
A great day for this country. |
| 00:53:54 |
I hate to think they blame it |
| 00:53:58 |
Didn't know shit, anyway. |
| 00:54:01 |
People got to know. |
| 00:54:05 |
Because he was a Communist. |
| 00:54:08 |
You go ahead, put me on the stand, |
| 00:54:13 |
Don't matter to me! |
| 00:54:16 |
All right, Willie. Thanks. |
| 00:54:20 |
We'll be in touch. |
| 00:54:21 |
All right. |
| 00:54:28 |
You know, you're not a bad-looking man. |
| 00:54:31 |
Not bad at all. |
| 00:54:33 |
I get out of here, I'll come see you. |
| 00:54:36 |
Their testimony won't hold up in court. |
| 00:54:39 |
Their reputations are lower |
| 00:54:42 |
That bothers you? |
| 00:54:45 |
If a woman's a prostitute, |
| 00:54:51 |
Find Clay Bertrand. |
| 00:54:54 |
The six of us, |
| 00:54:57 |
...will solve a case |
| 00:55:00 |
- I didn't pick you for your legal skill. |
| 00:55:04 |
You're a fighter. |
| 00:55:08 |
Mr. Garrison, how are you? |
| 00:55:11 |
You vote for me? |
| 00:55:13 |
I did. We sang together |
| 00:55:16 |
We sang: |
| 00:55:18 |
"You're the cream in my coffee" |
| 00:55:23 |
Haven't seen you much lately. |
| 00:55:25 |
Been too busy. Elected men can't have |
| 00:55:29 |
It's always nice to see you. |
| 00:55:35 |
How are you? Nice to see you. |
| 00:55:38 |
Welcome back, Lou. |
| 00:55:41 |
- Think I could get a martini? |
| 00:55:46 |
Keep that table open for us. |
| 00:55:51 |
Anything on the hoboes? |
| 00:55:53 |
Dallas Times Herald photographer |
| 00:55:57 |
Never published. |
| 00:56:01 |
Can't say that comes as a surprise. |
| 00:56:04 |
They took them to the sheriff's |
| 00:56:10 |
Do they look like the hoboes |
| 00:56:14 |
These two look young. |
| 00:56:16 |
Not a frayed collar or cuff, |
| 00:56:20 |
- ... clean hands, new shoe leather. |
| 00:56:28 |
Sit down. |
| 00:56:31 |
This could be it. Let's look for them. |
| 00:56:35 |
What about the railroad man, Lee Bowers, |
| 00:56:40 |
Graveyard. Dead. August this year. |
| 00:56:43 |
Single-car accident on an empty road |
| 00:56:47 |
The doctor said he was in a strange shock |
| 00:56:51 |
We need to find more witnesses. |
| 00:56:53 |
There was Rose Cheramie, a whore. |
| 00:56:56 |
She said she was a dope runner |
| 00:56:59 |
And that Ruby knew Oswald for years. |
| 00:57:03 |
- Can we talk to her? |
| 00:57:07 |
Hit and run. |
| 00:57:13 |
Why don't we go to the horse's mouth? |
| 00:57:16 |
Jack Ruby's been in a Dallas jail cell |
| 00:57:21 |
Can't. If I go to him our investigation |
| 00:57:25 |
It'll blow up in our face. |
| 00:57:30 |
Negative on his tax records. Classified. |
| 00:57:33 |
First time a DA can't get a tax record. |
| 00:57:36 |
I asked for the CIA files on Oswald |
| 00:57:43 |
About 1,200 documents. |
| 00:57:47 |
All classified as secret on the grounds |
| 00:57:51 |
Gave me his grammar school records. |
| 00:57:56 |
Lonely kid, no father. |
| 00:57:58 |
Joins the Marines at 17. |
| 00:58:00 |
Learns Russian. Acts overtly Marxist. |
| 00:58:04 |
But he's stationed |
| 00:58:07 |
...where U-2 spy flights |
| 00:58:11 |
He's discharged... |
| 00:58:13 |
...supposedly because his mother's sick. |
| 00:58:16 |
Then, with a $1,500 ticket from |
| 00:58:22 |
Mr. Oswald, do you understand... |
| 00:58:24 |
- ... the action you are about to take? |
| 00:58:30 |
I wish to renounce my citizenship... |
| 00:58:33 |
...and become a Soviet citizen. |
| 00:58:36 |
I'll give them all the information |
| 00:58:41 |
He disappears for six weeks, |
| 00:58:45 |
He's taken to a radio factory in Minsk... |
| 00:58:47 |
...where he lives as high on the hog |
| 00:58:51 |
He's given 5,000 rubles, |
| 00:58:56 |
Has affairs with local girls. |
| 00:58:58 |
Makes sense. He's a spokesman. |
| 00:59:01 |
But he never does any propaganda |
| 00:59:06 |
He meets Marina. |
| 00:59:08 |
Her uncle is a colonel |
| 00:59:13 |
She thinks he's Russian by his speech. |
| 00:59:15 |
Six weeks later they marry, |
| 00:59:19 |
Only explanation for the royal treatment |
| 00:59:23 |
Or fake secrets. |
| 00:59:24 |
Six months after he's in Russia... |
| 00:59:27 |
...Francis Gary Powers' U-2 spy flight |
| 00:59:30 |
...in Russia. That plane was untouchable. |
| 00:59:33 |
Powers hinted that Oswald... |
| 00:59:35 |
...could've given the Russians |
| 00:59:38 |
As a result, the peace summit between |
| 00:59:43 |
Perhaps our military didn't want |
| 00:59:48 |
Maybe Oswald was part of that! |
| 00:59:51 |
- Stick to what you can prove in court. |
| 00:59:56 |
Don't get sidetracked. |
| 01:00:00 |
Does he have any problems |
| 01:00:03 |
No. The State Department issues him |
| 01:00:07 |
...and loans him travel money. |
| 01:00:09 |
He's never investigated or charged |
| 01:00:15 |
...or, as far as we know, |
| 01:00:17 |
Bastard should've been prosecuted |
| 01:00:23 |
Did Marina have problems getting out? |
| 01:00:25 |
None, though it's almost impossible |
| 01:00:30 |
This is a man who defected once already. |
| 01:00:35 |
...get blacklisted |
| 01:00:38 |
Doesn't add up. |
| 01:00:40 |
Next thing, he's living in |
| 01:00:43 |
...working six months |
| 01:00:47 |
...a photographic firm that makes maps |
| 01:00:51 |
Oswald becomes chummy |
| 01:00:55 |
All rabid anti-Communists. |
| 01:00:57 |
It's odd. |
| 01:00:58 |
His closest friend is an oilman, |
| 01:01:04 |
He is 35 years older than Oswald, |
| 01:01:11 |
He is a part of the Dallas Petroleum Club, |
| 01:01:15 |
...and was a French Vichy intelligence |
| 01:01:18 |
...also rumored to be a Nazi sympathizer. |
| 01:01:24 |
DeMohrenschildt draws a picture |
| 01:01:27 |
...well read, speaks excellent Russian, |
| 01:01:35 |
I think he's made some mistakes |
| 01:01:39 |
I think he's doing a pretty good job. |
| 01:01:43 |
...I think he'd make a great President |
| 01:01:47 |
That's scenery, Susie. |
| 01:01:50 |
This is the same man that nailed Oswald |
| 01:01:54 |
...as a potentially violent man |
| 01:01:57 |
Well, in that sense |
| 01:02:02 |
It could go any way with that country. |
| 01:02:05 |
- It could go the way of the communism- |
| 01:02:10 |
Do you have rifles in there? |
| 01:02:14 |
Tell me what I'm shooting at, |
| 01:02:20 |
- I hunt. |
| 01:02:23 |
We don't know he's CIA. |
| 01:02:26 |
Call him Oswald's handler. |
| 01:02:28 |
The Oswalds are introduced |
| 01:02:34 |
It's through Janet Williams, |
| 01:02:39 |
...at the warehouse on Elm Street |
| 01:02:43 |
So he can now exercise his intellect, |
| 01:02:50 |
Marina fights with Lee about many things. |
| 01:02:56 |
His secrecy, their lack of money. |
| 01:02:59 |
She says that Lee is not sexually adequate. |
| 01:03:05 |
Lee hits her on several occasions. |
| 01:03:08 |
At the age of 24... |
| 01:03:09 |
...he rents a room in Dallas |
| 01:03:13 |
Do you want to watch TV? |
| 01:03:17 |
No, thank you. I'm fine. |
| 01:03:20 |
All I know about the Williams is |
| 01:03:24 |
Bill Williams has links to the CIA |
| 01:03:28 |
...and does classified work |
| 01:03:31 |
Bill's convenient separation from Janet |
| 01:03:35 |
...where she suddenly becomes |
| 01:03:38 |
There Marina and Lee |
| 01:03:43 |
I have to go away. Just for a short while. |
| 01:03:46 |
What's wrong with this family? |
| 01:03:48 |
I love Lee... |
| 01:03:50 |
...and I sorry him. |
| 01:03:53 |
Sorry for him? |
| 01:03:55 |
Yes. |
| 01:03:56 |
When he's arrested, |
| 01:03:59 |
She describes him as a psychotic |
| 01:04:03 |
I have too much facts... |
| 01:04:04 |
...and facts tell me that Lee shot Kennedy. |
| 01:04:09 |
After being locked away |
| 01:04:12 |
...and afraid she'd be deported... |
| 01:04:15 |
...she was probably suffering |
| 01:04:18 |
They taught her how to answer. |
| 01:04:20 |
When they think she's ready, |
| 01:04:23 |
...polish her appearance and wheel her out. |
| 01:04:26 |
- I'd like to thank the Warren Commission. |
| 01:04:31 |
But who was he? |
| 01:04:33 |
I'm lost. What are we saying? |
| 01:04:36 |
That when Oswald went to Russia, |
| 01:04:41 |
He was an intelligence agent for our |
| 01:04:47 |
So, because Oswald pulled the trigger... |
| 01:04:49 |
...the intelligence community |
| 01:04:54 |
I'll go you one better. Maybe Oswald... |
| 01:04:56 |
...didn't pull the trigger. |
| 01:04:58 |
Nitrate tests indicate he hadn't fired |
| 01:05:02 |
And they didn't bother to see |
| 01:05:06 |
- His palm print was on it. |
| 01:05:10 |
FBI didn't find a goddamn thing. |
| 01:05:13 |
It comes back a week later and a Dallas |
| 01:05:18 |
It could've been taken at the morgue. |
| 01:05:22 |
I can't figure out why he orders |
| 01:05:27 |
...to a P.O. box, when he can go |
| 01:05:31 |
...give a phony name and walk out |
| 01:05:34 |
To frame him, obviously! |
| 01:05:36 |
A lot of smoke, but some fire. |
| 01:05:38 |
We're talking about our government! |
| 01:05:40 |
We're talking about a crime. |
| 01:05:43 |
You must think on a different level, |
| 01:05:47 |
We're through the looking glass. |
| 01:05:50 |
White is black. |
| 01:05:53 |
And black is white. |
| 01:05:55 |
Maybe Oswald is just what he said he was. |
| 01:05:59 |
A patsy. |
| 01:06:06 |
Unbelievable. You were here? |
| 01:06:08 |
Yes, this is where I was sitting. |
| 01:06:11 |
Shots came from near the wooden fence |
| 01:06:16 |
...near the overpass. |
| 01:06:17 |
I saw a man run from the fence |
| 01:06:22 |
I made it clear to the Warren people. |
| 01:06:24 |
One of the shots came |
| 01:06:28 |
I heard the report and saw smoke, |
| 01:06:32 |
Out from under those trees. |
| 01:06:34 |
All four of us railroad men... |
| 01:06:38 |
...seen the same thing. |
| 01:06:40 |
The smoke came from behind the hedge. |
| 01:06:42 |
I was standing next to Mary Moorman, |
| 01:06:49 |
I stepped down to the curb and yelled: |
| 01:06:52 |
"Mr. President, look over here! " |
| 01:06:56 |
Then shots rang out. |
| 01:07:00 |
Mary dropped to the ground, yelling, |
| 01:07:06 |
I just stood there watching. |
| 01:07:09 |
The driver had stopped. |
| 01:07:12 |
I don't know what was wrong with him. |
| 01:07:16 |
Out of the corner of my eye... |
| 01:07:19 |
...I saw a flash of light in the bushes. |
| 01:07:22 |
And that last shot... |
| 01:07:25 |
...just ripped his head off. |
| 01:07:27 |
I looked up and saw smoke coming |
| 01:07:32 |
We came around to look for tracks. |
| 01:07:35 |
It rained that morning |
| 01:07:38 |
Cigarette butts. |
| 01:07:40 |
Someone had stood about... here. |
| 01:07:48 |
That's a good spot. |
| 01:07:51 |
For the head shot. |
| 01:07:54 |
Everything was just frozen. |
| 01:07:57 |
Like people weren't breathing. |
| 01:08:04 |
Except for one man. |
| 01:08:07 |
I saw this one man running |
| 01:08:11 |
...to the parking lot. |
| 01:08:13 |
It was about 11:00 a. m. |
| 01:08:15 |
I was driving on Elm Street |
| 01:08:19 |
A light-blue Valiant. |
| 01:08:21 |
I'll never forget that day. |
| 01:08:25 |
...and I stopped |
| 01:08:28 |
It was very noticeable |
| 01:08:33 |
When I saw the gun, I thought... |
| 01:08:37 |
..."The Secret Service is not very secret. " |
| 01:08:39 |
The next morning, I went to the FBI office. |
| 01:08:42 |
They showed me some pictures. |
| 01:08:44 |
And I picked out three pictures |
| 01:08:49 |
That's the man. |
| 01:08:51 |
You mean you identified Jack Ruby |
| 01:08:54 |
That's right. |
| 01:08:55 |
The day before he shot Oswald? |
| 01:08:57 |
That's right. When I saw him on TV, |
| 01:09:00 |
I said to my family, |
| 01:09:05 |
You weren't so sure in your statement |
| 01:09:08 |
What about these others? |
| 01:09:13 |
They look a bit like him, |
| 01:09:16 |
It was him I chased up the grassy knoll. |
| 01:09:20 |
I thought maybe our guys had shot back |
| 01:09:25 |
I got to the parking lot. |
| 01:09:27 |
All I saw were the railroad workers |
| 01:09:32 |
- Secret Service. Come with us. |
| 01:09:37 |
I want your pictures. |
| 01:09:39 |
Son of a bitch! |
| 01:09:40 |
He put a hurt on me, but good. |
| 01:09:42 |
They must've seen everything because |
| 01:09:48 |
I wasn't hard to find, |
| 01:09:51 |
- How many shots did you hear? |
| 01:09:55 |
Impossible! |
| 01:09:57 |
You heard echoes! |
| 01:10:01 |
We have three bullets and three shots |
| 01:10:05 |
- That's all we'll say. |
| 01:10:08 |
I saw a man shooting from behind |
| 01:10:13 |
- You go out there and get him! |
| 01:10:16 |
You only heard three shots, |
| 01:10:21 |
No one. Understand? |
| 01:10:22 |
Which is strange 'cause it's less |
| 01:10:26 |
Get her out of here. |
| 01:10:27 |
I knew something was crooked |
| 01:10:31 |
When I read my testimony |
| 01:10:35 |
...it was a total fabrication. |
| 01:10:37 |
That's what bothers me, Mr. Garrison. |
| 01:10:43 |
This one says: |
| 01:10:44 |
"Mercer couldn't identify any photograph |
| 01:10:49 |
"... slouched over the wheel |
| 01:10:52 |
I recognized him and I told them so. |
| 01:10:56 |
Take your time. |
| 01:10:58 |
I'm sure. |
| 01:10:59 |
And the sheriff's report... |
| 01:11:01 |
This is really strange. |
| 01:11:03 |
See that notarized signature? |
| 01:11:06 |
That's not mine. |
| 01:11:08 |
There wasn't any notary present |
| 01:11:13 |
Mrs. Mercer, as a former FBI man... |
| 01:11:17 |
...it's difficult to accept this. |
| 01:11:20 |
Beverly, tell Mr. Garrison |
| 01:11:29 |
I used to go there to see Jack |
| 01:11:34 |
It was a real swinging spot in town. |
| 01:11:36 |
Everybody came. |
| 01:11:38 |
Businessmen, politicians from Austin, |
| 01:11:42 |
Dallas was a slowpokin' town then. |
| 01:11:44 |
You chewed toothpicks, played dominoes, |
| 01:11:48 |
But Jack was exciting. |
| 01:11:52 |
Jack liked them around, even though |
| 01:11:56 |
He had a violent temper. |
| 01:11:59 |
Everyone in those days |
| 01:12:03 |
Cops back then, they were bad. |
| 01:12:06 |
They'd shake you down |
| 01:12:12 |
What about Lee? |
| 01:12:14 |
One time I came in. |
| 01:12:16 |
Jack introduced me to two guys. |
| 01:12:23 |
I don't remember the other guy's name. |
| 01:12:25 |
He was a weird-looking guy. |
| 01:12:29 |
And he looked like a buzzard. |
| 01:12:34 |
Lee didn't make much of an impression. |
| 01:12:37 |
He wasn't very handsome. |
| 01:12:40 |
He didn't look like he had any money, |
| 01:12:43 |
So, I didn't pay him much mind. |
| 01:12:47 |
I may not remember a name, |
| 01:12:52 |
Later, when I saw him on television... |
| 01:12:56 |
...I screamed, "My God, that's him! |
| 01:12:59 |
"That's Jack's friend! " |
| 01:13:02 |
Will you testify, Beverly? |
| 01:13:06 |
- I don't think so. |
| 01:13:13 |
- I don't want to be another statistic. |
| 01:13:18 |
If they can kill the President |
| 01:13:23 |
...you think they'll think twice |
| 01:13:33 |
I understand the pressure you're under. |
| 01:13:36 |
Don't think that I don't. |
| 01:13:39 |
We both do. |
| 01:13:46 |
Mr. Chief Justice, do you understand |
| 01:13:53 |
There are people here who do not want me |
| 01:13:57 |
Who don't want me to have a retrial. |
| 01:13:59 |
Why don't you just tell us now? |
| 01:14:02 |
My life is in danger! |
| 01:14:04 |
If you request that I go to Washington... |
| 01:14:07 |
That is, if you want to hear |
| 01:14:10 |
Can you take me with you? |
| 01:14:12 |
No. It can't be done. |
| 01:14:14 |
There would be no safe place for you. |
| 01:14:16 |
We're not law-enforcement officers. |
| 01:14:20 |
There's a great deal |
| 01:14:24 |
If I'm eliminated... |
| 01:14:26 |
...there won't be any way of knowing |
| 01:14:32 |
Consequently, a whole new form |
| 01:14:38 |
And I won't live to see you |
| 01:14:42 |
I want to tell the truth. |
| 01:14:44 |
And then... |
| 01:14:45 |
...leave this world. |
| 01:14:49 |
The Zapruder film establishes |
| 01:14:56 |
I'm Oswald. |
| 01:14:59 |
Time me. |
| 01:15:01 |
Go. |
| 01:15:07 |
Time? |
| 01:15:08 |
Between six and seven seconds. |
| 01:15:10 |
Without really aiming. |
| 01:15:12 |
The second and third shots came |
| 01:15:16 |
It takes a minimum of... |
| 01:15:18 |
...2.3 seconds to recycle this thing. |
| 01:15:21 |
The other problem is, there was a tree... |
| 01:15:24 |
...blocking the first two shots |
| 01:15:29 |
Didn't Hoover say something |
| 01:15:33 |
It was Texas live oak, Chief. |
| 01:15:36 |
It sheds its leaves in early March. |
| 01:15:39 |
Take this Carcano, |
| 01:15:42 |
...and try to hit a moving target |
| 01:15:47 |
No way. |
| 01:15:51 |
FBI tried two sets of tests. |
| 01:15:54 |
Not one sharpshooter could match |
| 01:15:57 |
Not one. |
| 01:15:59 |
Oswald was at best a medium shot. |
| 01:16:02 |
The scope was defective on it too. |
| 01:16:05 |
This is the whole essence |
| 01:16:08 |
The guy couldn't do the shooting. |
| 01:16:11 |
Nobody could. |
| 01:16:12 |
They sold this lemon |
| 01:16:17 |
The Zapruder film was the proof |
| 01:16:21 |
We must get hold of it. |
| 01:16:24 |
It means we'll have to subpoena Time-Life. |
| 01:16:28 |
Let me ask you something. |
| 01:16:30 |
Why not just shoot Kennedy on Houston? |
| 01:16:33 |
Plenty of time. |
| 01:16:36 |
- He's out in the open. |
| 01:16:39 |
- Frontal shot. |
| 01:16:42 |
...if he accelerates, you get a second shot. |
| 01:16:44 |
The only reason to get him on Elm... |
| 01:16:47 |
...is you got him in a |
| 01:16:51 |
You put a team there down at the fence. |
| 01:16:54 |
Frontal shot. Flat, low trajectory. |
| 01:16:57 |
Put a third team down in this building... |
| 01:17:00 |
...on a low floor. |
| 01:17:02 |
When Kennedy gets in the kill zone, |
| 01:17:08 |
How many men? |
| 01:17:11 |
One shooter. One spotter on a radio. |
| 01:17:17 |
These are professional riflemen. |
| 01:17:22 |
Hunters. |
| 01:17:25 |
Patient. |
| 01:17:28 |
It takes skill to kill with a rifle. |
| 01:17:33 |
That's why no chief executive's |
| 01:17:42 |
Three... |
| 01:17:44 |
...two... |
| 01:17:46 |
...one. |
| 01:17:57 |
Main Street's over there. |
| 01:18:00 |
Original parade route on the way |
| 01:18:03 |
...is too far, right? |
| 01:18:05 |
Too far. |
| 01:18:06 |
Impossible shot, |
| 01:18:10 |
Bring him down here. |
| 01:18:13 |
They knew the motorcade would have |
| 01:18:17 |
...to make that turn there. |
| 01:18:27 |
Who do you think changed |
| 01:18:30 |
Beats me. Secret Service, |
| 01:18:34 |
You know who was the mayor at the time? |
| 01:18:36 |
Roy Cabell. |
| 01:18:37 |
- Guess who his brother is? |
| 01:18:40 |
General Charles Cabell. |
| 01:18:43 |
Deputy director of the CIA. |
| 01:18:44 |
Kennedy fired him in '61 |
| 01:18:49 |
Moved back to the Pentagon |
| 01:18:52 |
When he came to New Orleans... |
| 01:18:54 |
...to address the Foreign Policy |
| 01:18:59 |
Our friend, Clay Shaw. |
| 01:19:01 |
Didn't the Warren Commission call him? |
| 01:19:02 |
His boss was the one |
| 01:19:05 |
...who handled the leads |
| 01:19:07 |
- Allen Dulles? |
| 01:19:11 |
Kennedy fired them both. |
| 01:19:14 |
Cabell was his Deputy for nine years. |
| 01:19:18 |
Talk about the fox investigating |
| 01:19:23 |
Now, we'll have to subpoena them both. |
| 01:19:37 |
Clay Bertrand? Sure, I know him. |
| 01:19:40 |
Comes to the Quarter. |
| 01:19:42 |
Who is he? I've been to all the bars. |
| 01:19:47 |
Why should they talk to you? |
| 01:19:50 |
I told your uncle, I never met a lawman |
| 01:19:58 |
A big-shot businessman. |
| 01:20:01 |
...with all the other big shots. |
| 01:20:04 |
The guy's a fag, you know? |
| 01:20:06 |
Goes by another name. |
| 01:20:08 |
What name? |
| 01:20:10 |
Shaw. |
| 01:20:12 |
Clay Shaw. |
| 01:20:13 |
Clay Bertrand is Clay Shaw? |
| 01:20:16 |
Guy who ran the International Trade Mart? |
| 01:20:19 |
What's the mystery? |
| 01:20:23 |
Then why does he call himself Bertrand? |
| 01:20:26 |
Who gives a shit what he calls himself? |
| 01:20:29 |
Will you give us a little help |
| 01:20:34 |
I hope so. We could use it. |
| 01:20:36 |
Your hunch was right, Boss. |
| 01:20:38 |
But it's even spookier than we thought. |
| 01:20:40 |
Starting in September '63 on, |
| 01:20:45 |
...there are sightings of Oswald |
| 01:20:48 |
Buying ammunition, |
| 01:20:53 |
Going to rifle ranges. |
| 01:20:55 |
Early November, |
| 01:20:59 |
- ... he tells the salesman: |
| 01:21:02 |
Despite the fact he has no license, |
| 01:21:07 |
...he hits the curves like A.J. Foyt |
| 01:21:10 |
Beauregard later told his boss |
| 01:21:14 |
$300 down now, Mr. Oswald, |
| 01:21:17 |
What? For this heap? |
| 01:21:20 |
No honest working man can afford to buy |
| 01:21:25 |
Maybe I'll go to Russia and buy one. |
| 01:21:27 |
Really dumb dialogue like he's trying |
| 01:21:32 |
Salesman remembers him as about 5'7", |
| 01:21:38 |
Other witnesses see him on several |
| 01:21:43 |
One time, November 9... |
| 01:21:45 |
...he decides to practice |
| 01:21:48 |
I didn't pay for a target |
| 01:21:54 |
I'm sorry, buddy. |
| 01:21:57 |
I thought I was shooting |
| 01:22:00 |
As subtle as a cockroach |
| 01:22:04 |
Then he shows up at Sylvia Odio's... |
| 01:22:06 |
...a Cuban lady in Dallas |
| 01:22:10 |
The two Cubans introduce him |
| 01:22:16 |
Something about the man bothers her. |
| 01:22:18 |
48 hours later, one of the Cubans calls her. |
| 01:22:21 |
What did you think of me |
| 01:22:24 |
I don't care about Oswald. |
| 01:22:25 |
You know what he said to us? |
| 01:22:29 |
"... should have been killed |
| 01:22:32 |
It's like he's giving her information |
| 01:22:36 |
She's scared and doesn't see him again... |
| 01:22:38 |
...till she sees Oswald's picture |
| 01:22:41 |
But the Warren Commission |
| 01:22:44 |
...has bad eyesight because |
| 01:22:48 |
...trying to get back into Cuba. |
| 01:22:51 |
The CIA has a camera |
| 01:22:54 |
And they say that this... |
| 01:22:57 |
...is Oswald in Mexico. |
| 01:23:00 |
If this is Oswald, |
| 01:23:04 |
The Warren Commission made great efforts |
| 01:23:08 |
I think the point of the Mexican episode |
| 01:23:15 |
If Oswald, or someone purporting |
| 01:23:17 |
...had gotten into Cuba, come back, |
| 01:23:22 |
...the American public would've supported |
| 01:23:25 |
I even have doubts about this photo, Boss. |
| 01:23:29 |
This convicted Oswald in the public's mind. |
| 01:23:32 |
But Oswald told Capt. Fritz |
| 01:23:36 |
This is not me! |
| 01:23:38 |
- That came from Janet Williams' garage. |
| 01:23:41 |
It's my face but it's superimposed. |
| 01:23:46 |
I know photographic work. |
| 01:23:50 |
I took this picture to two experts. |
| 01:23:53 |
Look at how the shadows on the nose... |
| 01:23:55 |
...fall in a straight line, |
| 01:23:58 |
But the shadow on the ground is more |
| 01:24:02 |
It's not the same time. |
| 01:24:03 |
And see the crop marks across the chin? |
| 01:24:06 |
This head is pasted onto another body. |
| 01:24:09 |
Implicating him with the rifle and the gun. |
| 01:24:12 |
Who the hell are you? |
| 01:24:19 |
You're the policeman, you work it out. |
| 01:24:21 |
Now it gets positively spooky. |
| 01:24:24 |
In January 1961, in New Orleans, |
| 01:24:29 |
...when the Oswald we know is in Russia... |
| 01:24:32 |
...there is a man using the name of Oswald |
| 01:24:35 |
...for the Friends of Democratic Cuba. |
| 01:24:37 |
Salesman never sees him again. |
| 01:24:39 |
But who's on the Articles Of Incorporation |
| 01:24:45 |
Guy Banister. |
| 01:24:47 |
Banister has someone using |
| 01:24:52 |
Hoover at the FBI has a memo |
| 01:24:56 |
...that someone may be using |
| 01:25:00 |
They created Oswald from day one. |
| 01:25:03 |
Like a dummy corporation in the Bahamas. |
| 01:25:07 |
Anybody want to quit? |
| 01:25:11 |
Dumb question. Put your hands down. |
| 01:25:15 |
I found Clay Bertrand. |
| 01:25:18 |
Grab your socks and hose and pull. |
| 01:25:21 |
Clay Bertrand is Clay Shaw. |
| 01:25:24 |
- Director of the Trade Mart? |
| 01:25:27 |
Incredible. |
| 01:25:29 |
Can you get some sworn statements? |
| 01:25:31 |
That'll be tough. Nobody's talking. |
| 01:25:34 |
Let's have him in for a chat. |
| 01:25:37 |
I hate to get him dragged into this. |
| 01:25:39 |
He's done so much for the city, |
| 01:25:43 |
Remember, we saw him at a fund-raiser. |
| 01:25:47 |
It'll be off the record. |
| 01:25:53 |
A quiet little chat between gentlemen. |
| 01:26:12 |
In heavy fighting in Vietnam today... |
| 01:26:14 |
...seven more American soldiers died |
| 01:26:17 |
The body count for this week |
| 01:26:20 |
...and 626 enemy soldiers killed in action. |
| 01:26:24 |
President Johnson said he regretted |
| 01:26:28 |
...where 500,000 US troops |
| 01:26:31 |
We face more cost... |
| 01:26:33 |
...more loss... |
| 01:26:35 |
...and more agony. |
| 01:26:37 |
Come hunt for Easter eggs. |
| 01:26:40 |
That's the kids' job. You know I don't like |
| 01:26:45 |
I'm talking to Clay Shaw this morning. |
| 01:26:47 |
We're going to Antoine's with the kids! |
| 01:26:50 |
I told you I was talking to Shaw. |
| 01:26:52 |
In the middle of Easter Sunday? |
| 01:26:55 |
When I scheduled it, |
| 01:26:58 |
Look at the calendar! |
| 01:27:00 |
You said a Sunday, not Easter Sunday. |
| 01:27:03 |
Clay Shaw is important. |
| 01:27:05 |
- And we're not. |
| 01:27:08 |
I didn't say that. |
| 01:27:11 |
You're missing most of your life |
| 01:27:14 |
The kids are missing out, too. |
| 01:27:17 |
- You're not the only one making sacrifices. |
| 01:27:22 |
Just start without me. |
| 01:27:33 |
Mr. Garrison, what can I do for you |
| 01:27:36 |
I'm sorry to interrupt this holiday. |
| 01:27:39 |
But this conversation is best kept out |
| 01:27:43 |
I don't understand. |
| 01:27:45 |
In an investigation we're conducting, |
| 01:27:49 |
Can't imagine where. |
| 01:27:51 |
We've talked to a number of men |
| 01:27:55 |
Do you know a David Logan? |
| 01:27:57 |
No. Never heard of him. |
| 01:28:00 |
Perry Russo? |
| 01:28:01 |
No. |
| 01:28:03 |
Willie O'Keefe? |
| 01:28:06 |
I don't know anyone by that name. |
| 01:28:09 |
Mr. O'Keefe told us he met you |
| 01:28:14 |
Then you had him over for dinner |
| 01:28:18 |
- Do you recall that? |
| 01:28:22 |
Be still my heart. |
| 01:28:23 |
Obviously, I wouldn't have him over. |
| 01:28:26 |
Hope you like squab. |
| 01:28:30 |
Champagne? |
| 01:28:31 |
Perhaps a few more details about |
| 01:28:42 |
Mr. O'Keefe told us dinner was served |
| 01:28:47 |
You sat at one end and he at the other, |
| 01:28:52 |
...because the table was so long. |
| 01:28:55 |
How was your mousse? |
| 01:28:56 |
Bring back memories of Willie O'Keefe? |
| 01:28:59 |
Not at all. |
| 01:29:01 |
But I do have... |
| 01:29:02 |
...a lovely Chippendale dining table. |
| 01:29:05 |
I often have a friend sit at one end |
| 01:29:09 |
It's precisely the point |
| 01:29:13 |
The splendor of the meal |
| 01:29:16 |
I imagine a uniformed waiter helps. |
| 01:29:18 |
It adds elegance, for which I confess... |
| 01:29:21 |
...a weakness now and then. |
| 01:29:23 |
I call him Smedley. |
| 01:29:25 |
His real name's Frankie Jenkins, |
| 01:29:31 |
...to turn toward the kitchen and holler... |
| 01:29:33 |
..."Frankie! " |
| 01:29:39 |
Where is all this leading to? |
| 01:29:42 |
After dinner, you paid him to have sex. |
| 01:29:47 |
That is absolute nonsense. |
| 01:29:50 |
The Quarter is filled |
| 01:29:55 |
Grimy young hoodlums who will say |
| 01:29:58 |
Mr. O'Keefe told us... |
| 01:30:00 |
...David Ferrie came to the house |
| 01:30:05 |
- Who? |
| 01:30:09 |
I don't know that name. |
| 01:30:11 |
Never having met Mr. O'Keefe, |
| 01:30:28 |
You're mine, Mary. |
| 01:30:30 |
The four of you partied early |
| 01:30:34 |
Look at this picture. |
| 01:30:36 |
I've never met anyone |
| 01:30:48 |
Only way you get this, |
| 01:30:54 |
You know the name Clay Bertrand? |
| 01:30:56 |
Clay Bertrand. |
| 01:30:59 |
A man with a similar name worked |
| 01:31:02 |
- That the man you had in mind? |
| 01:31:06 |
Can you identify this man? |
| 01:31:08 |
Naturally. You claim Mr. Oswald |
| 01:31:13 |
Have you ever met Lee Harvey Oswald? |
| 01:31:16 |
You have me consorting |
| 01:31:20 |
- Please answer the question. |
| 01:31:23 |
The assassination was such a pity. |
| 01:31:25 |
In fact I admired Kennedy. |
| 01:31:28 |
Wife of impeccable taste. |
| 01:31:31 |
Let's order without your daddy. |
| 01:31:34 |
I want a Shirley Temple! |
| 01:31:36 |
Kids, put your water guns away. |
| 01:31:39 |
When's Daddy coming? |
| 01:31:42 |
He's coming soon. |
| 01:31:43 |
He's sorry he's late, |
| 01:31:47 |
Daddy never keeps his promises. |
| 01:31:54 |
This Italian newspaper article says... |
| 01:31:57 |
...you were a board member |
| 01:32:01 |
This company was created by the CIA |
| 01:32:05 |
...for illegal |
| 01:32:08 |
Says that this company was expelled |
| 01:32:12 |
I'm well aware of that asinine article. |
| 01:32:17 |
It also says this company is linked |
| 01:32:21 |
...in Louisiana, which provided arms |
| 01:32:25 |
You're reaching. |
| 01:32:26 |
Am I? |
| 01:32:27 |
I'm an international businessman. |
| 01:32:31 |
...is America's commercial pipeline |
| 01:32:36 |
Like all businessmen, |
| 01:32:40 |
I go about my business, make money, |
| 01:32:44 |
...and try to promote free trade |
| 01:32:48 |
Have you ever been a contract agent |
| 01:32:56 |
And if I were... |
| 01:32:58 |
...do you believe I would be here today... |
| 01:33:03 |
...talking to somebody like you? |
| 01:33:11 |
- People like you don't have to. |
| 01:33:13 |
People like you walk |
| 01:33:17 |
May I go? |
| 01:33:21 |
Yes. |
| 01:33:30 |
Regardless of what you may think of me, |
| 01:33:35 |
I've spent half my life in the military... |
| 01:33:38 |
...defending my country. |
| 01:33:40 |
You're the first person I've met who |
| 01:33:44 |
You are way out of line. |
| 01:33:46 |
It's getting late. |
| 01:33:50 |
Thank you for your honesty |
| 01:33:53 |
I enjoyed meeting with you. |
| 01:33:56 |
And you, Miss Cox. |
| 01:34:04 |
I extend to you and your families |
| 01:34:18 |
"One may smile, and smile |
| 01:34:22 |
Goddamn it! We've got one of them. |
| 01:34:24 |
See that? |
| 01:34:43 |
- Hi, honey. |
| 01:34:49 |
Tough day. |
| 01:34:50 |
Where you been? |
| 01:34:52 |
My sympathies. |
| 01:34:54 |
I'm sorry, the meeting |
| 01:34:58 |
Just a second. |
| 01:34:59 |
We waited for hours, Jim! |
| 01:35:04 |
You could've telephoned. |
| 01:35:06 |
I can only say I'm sorry. |
| 01:35:11 |
You know what I think? |
| 01:35:13 |
You care more about John Kennedy |
| 01:35:17 |
All day the kids asked, "Where's Daddy?" |
| 01:35:21 |
I don't know! |
| 01:35:23 |
The truth! I'm doing my job |
| 01:35:26 |
...in a country where justice won't be |
| 01:35:30 |
...like dinosaurs or Atlantis. |
| 01:35:33 |
It doesn't replace a husband |
| 01:35:36 |
It's going to get worse! |
| 01:35:44 |
I beat you again, you must give me a raise. |
| 01:35:46 |
Who can you brag to? |
| 01:35:50 |
Who killed President Kennedy? |
| 01:35:54 |
I don't know what you're talking about. |
| 01:35:57 |
Clear the door! Watch out! Move! |
| 01:36:02 |
Congratulations. You're Page One. |
| 01:36:05 |
Ain't nice, it says, we've spent over $8,000 |
| 01:36:10 |
...since November, 1966. |
| 01:36:12 |
Goddamn! |
| 01:36:14 |
They went to the public records, got |
| 01:36:18 |
Shaw got them on our tail. |
| 01:36:20 |
It could have been Ferrie, |
| 01:36:23 |
Or they talked to Ruby 'cause of |
| 01:36:27 |
They're hunting the news, |
| 01:36:29 |
You'd think they'd understand |
| 01:36:32 |
Getting angry doesn't accomplish |
| 01:36:37 |
Son of a bitch. |
| 01:36:39 |
This changes everything now. |
| 01:36:42 |
What do you mean? |
| 01:36:46 |
Either we pull out now |
| 01:36:52 |
Bear in mind, this may affect |
| 01:36:58 |
Any one who wants to pull out now... |
| 01:37:00 |
...I assure you there will be no ill feelings |
| 01:37:09 |
There it is then, thank you. |
| 01:37:12 |
It means a great deal to me. |
| 01:37:17 |
I'm giving this office $6,000 |
| 01:37:21 |
So we can continue. |
| 01:37:24 |
I'll make speeches where I can |
| 01:37:27 |
What shall I tell them? |
| 01:37:30 |
They want a statement. |
| 01:37:33 |
I won't confirm, deny nor discuss, Sharon. |
| 01:37:38 |
Goodbye, ladies and gentlemen. |
| 01:37:42 |
I'm going home |
| 01:37:45 |
Mr. Garrison's own silence on the subject |
| 01:37:49 |
With taxpayer money, |
| 01:37:53 |
Or is he merely saving the information |
| 01:37:58 |
Mr. Garrison should have |
| 01:38:01 |
Did your office plant that garbage |
| 01:38:04 |
- Who is this? |
| 01:38:06 |
- Dave? |
| 01:38:08 |
You're the only straight-shooter there. |
| 01:38:10 |
I want an answer! Did you plant it? |
| 01:38:12 |
Do you think we're nuts? |
| 01:38:16 |
Reporters everywhere. |
| 01:38:18 |
Somebody planted that fucking story! |
| 01:38:21 |
I'm one of fucking Garrison's suspects. |
| 01:38:25 |
The maggots are everywhere! |
| 01:38:28 |
Calm down. |
| 01:38:30 |
From here on... |
| 01:38:31 |
...I'm a fucking dead man! |
| 01:38:33 |
You weren't even mentioned in the story. |
| 01:38:37 |
Meet me in the lobby |
| 01:38:40 |
I guarantee the boss will protect you. |
| 01:38:50 |
I just don't know who to trust anymore. |
| 01:38:52 |
I suppose I could use a pot of hot coffee |
| 01:38:58 |
Anything new? |
| 01:39:00 |
Who are you scared of? |
| 01:39:02 |
Everybody. The Agency, mob, Cubans. |
| 01:39:06 |
Follow the Cubans. |
| 01:39:07 |
Check them out. Here, in Miami. Dallas. |
| 01:39:11 |
Check out Eladio del Valle. |
| 01:39:14 |
He was my paymaster |
| 01:39:17 |
You're on the right track. |
| 01:39:21 |
I ain't cooperating with no one! |
| 01:39:24 |
There's a death warrant for me! |
| 01:39:28 |
Damn! Wait a minute! |
| 01:39:30 |
You ain't bugged, are you? |
| 01:39:33 |
Are you? |
| 01:39:34 |
I play square. No bugs. |
| 01:39:36 |
I'd love you to go on the record, |
| 01:39:40 |
I haven't slept since that article. |
| 01:39:43 |
- Why'd you get me involved? |
| 01:39:47 |
Cocksucking faggot. |
| 01:39:50 |
- What do you mean? |
| 01:39:54 |
He'll use them, too. |
| 01:39:55 |
Agency plays for keeps. |
| 01:39:57 |
Oswald was in my Civil Air Patrol unit. |
| 01:40:01 |
He was a wannabe. No one liked him. |
| 01:40:05 |
But I treated him good. |
| 01:40:07 |
He wanted his kid to grow up |
| 01:40:10 |
What's this? What's going on? |
| 01:40:14 |
Don't let him in. |
| 01:40:16 |
No one's coming in here. |
| 01:40:21 |
Black. Give it to me. |
| 01:40:22 |
Black. My neck is killing me. |
| 01:40:26 |
I've had cancer for years. |
| 01:40:30 |
Did you work for the CIA? |
| 01:40:33 |
You sound like it's a remote experience |
| 01:40:37 |
You don't leave the Agency. |
| 01:40:40 |
- Once you're in, they got you for life. |
| 01:40:43 |
Shaw's an untouchable. Highest clearance. |
| 01:40:46 |
Shaw, Oswald, the Cubans, all Agency. |
| 01:40:50 |
Ruby? |
| 01:40:55 |
Jack was a pimp. |
| 01:40:59 |
Ran guns to Castro |
| 01:41:01 |
Castro was almost with us |
| 01:41:04 |
Everybody keeps flipping sides. |
| 01:41:06 |
It's fun and games. |
| 01:41:08 |
- How do the mob figure in this? |
| 01:41:12 |
The CIA and the Mafia worked together |
| 01:41:17 |
There's more to this than you could dream! |
| 01:41:20 |
Check out something called |
| 01:41:23 |
Government, Pentagon stuff. |
| 01:41:27 |
But who pulls whose chain? Who knows? |
| 01:41:31 |
"Oh, what a deadly web we weave |
| 01:41:34 |
Who killed the President? |
| 01:41:35 |
Why don't you fucking stop it? Shit! |
| 01:41:39 |
This is too big for you, you know that? |
| 01:41:42 |
Who did the President? Fuck! |
| 01:41:47 |
It's a mystery wrapped in a riddle |
| 01:41:50 |
The shooters don't even know! |
| 01:41:53 |
Fuck, man! I can't keep talking like this! |
| 01:41:56 |
They'll fucking kill me! |
| 01:41:58 |
I'll fucking die! |
| 01:42:04 |
Son of a bitch! |
| 01:42:06 |
It's all right. |
| 01:42:09 |
I don't know what happened. |
| 01:42:12 |
Fuck! |
| 01:42:20 |
All I wanted in the world... |
| 01:42:24 |
...was to be a Catholic priest. |
| 01:42:28 |
Live in a monastery. |
| 01:42:29 |
Pray. Serve God. |
| 01:42:32 |
I had... |
| 01:42:36 |
...one terrible fucking weakness. |
| 01:42:39 |
And they defrocked me! |
| 01:42:45 |
Then I started to lose everything. |
| 01:42:50 |
You'll be okay, Dave. |
| 01:42:52 |
Just talk to us on the record. |
| 01:43:01 |
They'll get to you too. |
| 01:43:04 |
They'll destroy you. |
| 01:43:08 |
They're untouchable. |
| 01:43:13 |
I'm so fucking exhausted, |
| 01:43:31 |
Early for Mardi Gras, isn't it? |
| 01:43:33 |
Paris Match, |
| 01:43:37 |
Literaturnaya Gazeta from Moscow. |
| 01:43:39 |
Victoria Taylor, Private Eye. |
| 01:43:42 |
You know who shot the President? |
| 01:43:45 |
They're putting the heat on David Ferrie. |
| 01:43:48 |
If we wait, he won't hold on. |
| 01:43:53 |
He keeps changing his story. |
| 01:43:58 |
He'll keep deteriorating. |
| 01:44:03 |
If we call him in now he might freeze up, |
| 01:44:07 |
He can't go down any further. |
| 01:44:12 |
I know what you're going through |
| 01:44:15 |
We'll talk tomorrow. |
| 01:44:21 |
A lead says he's closely connected |
| 01:44:25 |
...but he won't come here. |
| 01:44:27 |
I'm onto Ferrie's Cuban paymaster, |
| 01:44:30 |
I need more men. I got to get him in. |
| 01:44:33 |
I can't pull the teams to watch Ferrie. |
| 01:44:37 |
This is our case! |
| 01:44:42 |
I got something to show you. |
| 01:44:44 |
I think you'll find it interesting. |
| 01:44:49 |
This was found in your office. |
| 01:44:51 |
The conference room is bugged, maybe |
| 01:44:55 |
Bugging the DA's office. |
| 01:45:00 |
Believe what you want, |
| 01:45:02 |
All these new volunteers! |
| 01:45:06 |
You handle it, okay? |
| 01:45:12 |
Well, we obviously got |
| 01:45:18 |
I'm coming to Washington! |
| 01:45:25 |
Dave Ferrie's dead. |
| 01:45:28 |
Found his body in his apartment |
| 01:45:56 |
What's it look like? |
| 01:45:57 |
I don't see any violence. Heart attack, |
| 01:46:02 |
This is addressed to no one |
| 01:46:05 |
"To leave this life is |
| 01:46:08 |
"I find nothing in it that is desirable... |
| 01:46:11 |
"... and, on the other hand, |
| 01:46:14 |
It goes on and on. |
| 01:46:16 |
"Daily we are propagandized more |
| 01:46:21 |
Seems pretty flowery for Dave Ferrie. |
| 01:46:45 |
Proloid. |
| 01:46:48 |
I took it once for a low thyroid condition. |
| 01:46:52 |
It raises the metabolism. |
| 01:46:55 |
Ferrie strike you as the kind of person |
| 01:46:59 |
Hardly, I'd say the opposite. |
| 01:47:03 |
Ferrie was the only one to express |
| 01:47:09 |
I think it got him killed. |
| 01:47:13 |
More bad news from Miami. |
| 01:47:15 |
Ferrie's friend, Eladio del Valle, |
| 01:47:19 |
...hacked to death with a machete |
| 01:47:21 |
He was tortured, shot point-blank in |
| 01:47:26 |
Ain't that the devil's piss! |
| 01:47:28 |
Found another note. Same thing. |
| 01:47:32 |
"When you receive this, I'll be quite dead, |
| 01:47:37 |
- "I offered you love, I got kicked. " |
| 01:47:44 |
What if a man with hypertension |
| 01:47:49 |
He'd die quickly. A heart storm |
| 01:47:54 |
Can you ascertain if there's Proloid |
| 01:47:57 |
Not with a routine autopsy. |
| 01:47:59 |
But there may be a high level of iodine |
| 01:48:03 |
But it's difficult to know. |
| 01:48:08 |
It doesn't make sense. |
| 01:48:11 |
...kill himself in a way |
| 01:48:15 |
And leave two unsigned suicide notes? |
| 01:48:18 |
If it's a suicide, I've seen weirder. |
| 01:48:22 |
The fact is, he's gone. And so is our case. |
| 01:48:25 |
Unless we go for Shaw now. |
| 01:48:27 |
With whose testimony? |
| 01:48:31 |
Jack Martin, a drunk? |
| 01:48:34 |
Shaw's got respect. Newspaper editors, |
| 01:48:38 |
- I agree. We don't have the goods. |
| 01:48:42 |
How many corpses do you need |
| 01:48:45 |
Watch your mouth! Ferrie did this himself. |
| 01:48:48 |
Where're you going? |
| 01:48:50 |
I don't know. |
| 01:48:51 |
I just don't know. |
| 01:48:58 |
Frank, you're wasting your time here. |
| 01:49:01 |
Big Jim gave strict orders. No FBl. |
| 01:49:04 |
It's you I want to talk to. |
| 01:49:05 |
Boss'd fry me in hog fat |
| 01:49:08 |
Boss's got a problem. Real serious. |
| 01:49:11 |
- We know what's going on at your office. |
| 01:49:14 |
You got nothing. I'm a friend. |
| 01:49:19 |
Time to jump off |
| 01:49:22 |
Enough! |
| 01:49:23 |
We're talking about your career. |
| 01:49:27 |
You're working the Castro thing. |
| 01:49:29 |
- No, I'm not. |
| 01:49:30 |
We know Oswald didn't pull that trigger. |
| 01:49:34 |
If it comes out, there'll be a war. |
| 01:49:37 |
Millions of people will die. |
| 01:49:41 |
Look at me when I talk to you! |
| 01:49:45 |
Shut up! |
| 01:49:47 |
If you got a brain in your thick skull, |
| 01:49:52 |
Get in the car. |
| 01:50:15 |
Garrison? |
| 01:50:18 |
Yes. |
| 01:50:20 |
Glad you came. |
| 01:50:21 |
Sorry about the precautions. |
| 01:50:23 |
I just hope it was worth my while, Mr...? |
| 01:50:27 |
I could give you a false name, |
| 01:50:32 |
I've already been warned by the Agency, |
| 01:50:37 |
I'm not with the Agency, Mr. Garrison. |
| 01:50:41 |
If you've come this far, |
| 01:50:45 |
I won't name names or tell you who |
| 01:50:49 |
Except to say you're close. |
| 01:50:52 |
Closer than you think. |
| 01:50:57 |
Everything I'll say |
| 01:51:01 |
I was a soldier, Mr. Garrison. Two wars. |
| 01:51:05 |
A secret Pentagon guy, |
| 01:51:09 |
Planes, bullets, rifles... |
| 01:51:11 |
...for what we call "Black Operations. " |
| 01:51:14 |
Black Ops. Assassinations. Coups d'etat... |
| 01:51:16 |
...rigging elections, |
| 01:51:20 |
In World War ll, I was in Romania, |
| 01:51:24 |
I helped evacuate part of Nazi intelligence |
| 01:51:29 |
And we used those guys |
| 01:51:32 |
In Italy, '48, we stole the elections. |
| 01:51:34 |
France '49, we broke the strikes. |
| 01:51:37 |
Overthrew Quirino in the Philippines, |
| 01:51:40 |
...Mossadegh in Iran. |
| 01:51:44 |
...Indonesia, '58, Tibet, '59. |
| 01:51:47 |
Got the Dalai Lama out. We were good. |
| 01:51:51 |
Very good. |
| 01:51:54 |
Then we got into the Cuban thing. |
| 01:51:56 |
Set up an invasion to take place |
| 01:52:00 |
Khrushchev sent missiles to resist. |
| 01:52:04 |
We just had our dicks in the wind. |
| 01:52:07 |
A lot of pissed-off people, Mr. Garrison. |
| 01:52:10 |
Understand? |
| 01:52:12 |
I'll come to that later. |
| 01:52:14 |
So, 1963... |
| 01:52:17 |
I spent much of September of '63... |
| 01:52:20 |
...working on the Kennedy plan |
| 01:52:23 |
...out of Vietnam by the end of 1965. |
| 01:52:26 |
One of the strongest plans issued |
| 01:52:31 |
...National Security Memo 263... |
| 01:52:33 |
...ordered home the first 1,000 troops. |
| 01:52:37 |
But in November, a week after the murder |
| 01:52:41 |
...and two weeks before |
| 01:52:44 |
...a strange thing happened to me. |
| 01:52:49 |
Is Dave in there? |
| 01:52:55 |
You wanted to see me, General? |
| 01:52:58 |
I do, indeed. |
| 01:52:59 |
You're going to the South Pole. |
| 01:53:02 |
I am? |
| 01:53:04 |
Dr. Mooney's got the details. |
| 01:53:06 |
Check with him. Have a nice vacation. |
| 01:53:09 |
I was sent by my superior, |
| 01:53:13 |
...I was sent by General Y |
| 01:53:16 |
...as military escort for a group |
| 01:53:20 |
I was on my way back, in New Zealand... |
| 01:53:24 |
...when the President was killed. |
| 01:53:28 |
Oswald was charged at 7:00 p. m, |
| 01:53:32 |
...with Tippit's murder. That's 2:00 p. m. |
| 01:53:37 |
But already their papers |
| 01:53:40 |
...of this unknown, 24-year-old Oswald. |
| 01:53:43 |
Studio picture, detailed biography, |
| 01:53:46 |
...and were sure that he killed |
| 01:53:49 |
...although it took them four more hours |
| 01:53:56 |
It felt to me as if... |
| 01:53:59 |
...a cover story was being put out. |
| 01:54:01 |
Like we would in a Black Op. |
| 01:54:05 |
After I came back... |
| 01:54:07 |
...I asked myself, why was I, |
| 01:54:11 |
...sent to the South Pole to do a job... |
| 01:54:14 |
...many others could have done? |
| 01:54:16 |
I wondered if it could've been because... |
| 01:54:18 |
...a routine duty, |
| 01:54:21 |
...would've been to order |
| 01:54:24 |
I checked it out and found that someone... |
| 01:54:27 |
...told the 112th Military Intelligence |
| 01:54:32 |
...to stand down that day, |
| 01:54:37 |
I believe it's a mistake. |
| 01:54:39 |
It's standard procedure, especially |
| 01:54:44 |
...to supplement the Secret Service. |
| 01:54:47 |
Even if we hadn't let him ride |
| 01:54:50 |
...we would've put 100 to 200 agents |
| 01:54:55 |
A month before, in Dallas, UN Ambassador |
| 01:54:59 |
There had been attempts |
| 01:55:02 |
We'd have arrived days ahead, |
| 01:55:05 |
...checked all buildings. |
| 01:55:07 |
Never would've allowed open windows |
| 01:55:10 |
Our own snipers |
| 01:55:12 |
If a window went up, |
| 01:55:15 |
We'd be watching the crowd: |
| 01:55:18 |
Never would've let a man |
| 01:55:21 |
Never would've let the car slow down |
| 01:55:24 |
Or take that unusual curve |
| 01:55:27 |
You'd have felt an Army presence |
| 01:55:31 |
But none of this happened. It violated |
| 01:55:36 |
And it is the best indication |
| 01:55:41 |
Who could have best done this? |
| 01:55:43 |
Black Ops. People in my business. |
| 01:55:48 |
"We have another unit coming for security. |
| 01:55:53 |
That day, some Army intelligence people |
| 01:55:57 |
I don't know who or why. |
| 01:55:59 |
But they weren't protecting clients. |
| 01:56:01 |
And Oswald. Army Intell had |
| 01:56:06 |
Those files have been destroyed. |
| 01:56:08 |
Many strange things were happening. |
| 01:56:15 |
The entire Cabinet was in the Far East. |
| 01:56:17 |
A third of a combat division |
| 01:56:21 |
...in the air above the United States, |
| 01:56:24 |
At 12:34 p. m, the Washington |
| 01:56:30 |
On the plane back to Washington... |
| 01:56:32 |
...word was radioed |
| 01:56:35 |
...to Johnson that there was one assassin. |
| 01:56:41 |
Not for one moment. |
| 01:56:43 |
The Cabinet was out of the way. |
| 01:56:46 |
Troops for riot control were in the air. |
| 01:56:48 |
Telephones were out to stop |
| 01:56:53 |
Nothing was left to chance. |
| 01:56:55 |
He could not be allowed to escape alive. |
| 01:57:01 |
Things were never the same after that. |
| 01:57:04 |
Vietnam started for real. |
| 01:57:08 |
...make-believe in the Pentagon and CIA. |
| 01:57:11 |
Those of us in Secret Ops knew |
| 01:57:16 |
But there was something... |
| 01:57:18 |
...deeper. |
| 01:57:19 |
Uglier. |
| 01:57:20 |
I knew Allen Dulles well. |
| 01:57:24 |
But why was he appointed to investigate |
| 01:57:30 |
Dulles, by the way, |
| 01:57:35 |
I got out in '64. |
| 01:57:38 |
Resigned my commission. |
| 01:57:41 |
I never realized Kennedy was so dangerous |
| 01:57:46 |
Is that why? |
| 01:57:48 |
That's the real question, isn't it? Why? |
| 01:57:51 |
The how and the who is just scenery |
| 01:57:55 |
Oswald, Ruby, Cuba, the Mafia... |
| 01:57:58 |
...keeps them guessing, like a game. |
| 01:58:01 |
Prevents them from asking |
| 01:58:04 |
Why was Kennedy killed? Who benefited? |
| 01:58:07 |
Who has the power to cover it up? Who? |
| 01:58:14 |
In 1961... |
| 01:58:17 |
...right after the Bay of Pigs, |
| 01:58:21 |
...I participated in drawing up |
| 01:58:26 |
These are documents classified top secret. |
| 01:58:29 |
In them, Kennedy told Gen. Lemnitzer, |
| 01:58:33 |
...that from here on, the Joint Chiefs |
| 01:58:37 |
...for all covert paramilitary action |
| 01:58:41 |
This ended the reign of the CIA. |
| 01:58:44 |
Splintered it into 1,000 pieces, |
| 01:58:47 |
And now he was ordering the military... |
| 01:58:50 |
...to help him do it. Unprecedented! |
| 01:58:52 |
I can't tell you the shock waves this sent |
| 01:58:57 |
This and the firing of Allen Dulles... |
| 01:58:59 |
...Richard Bissell and Gen. Charles Cabell. |
| 01:59:02 |
All were sacred cows in Intell |
| 01:59:05 |
They got some very upset people. |
| 01:59:09 |
Kennedy's directives weren't implemented |
| 01:59:12 |
...bureaucratic resistance. |
| 01:59:15 |
But one of the results was... |
| 01:59:17 |
...the Cuban operation was turned over |
| 01:59:21 |
...as Operation Mongoose. |
| 01:59:24 |
Mongoose was pure Black Ops. |
| 01:59:26 |
It was secretly based at Miami University... |
| 01:59:30 |
...which has the largest |
| 01:59:33 |
...budgeted annually for hundreds |
| 01:59:36 |
Three hundred agents, 7,000 select Cubans. |
| 01:59:40 |
Fifty fake business fronts |
| 01:59:42 |
They waged a non-stop war against Castro. |
| 01:59:45 |
Industrial sabotage, crop burning, etc. |
| 01:59:48 |
All under the control of General Y. |
| 01:59:51 |
He took the rules of covert warfare |
| 01:59:54 |
...and brought them to this country. |
| 01:59:56 |
Now he had the people, |
| 01:59:59 |
...and the motivation. |
| 02:00:01 |
Don't underestimate the budget cuts |
| 02:00:05 |
Nearly 52 military installations |
| 02:00:08 |
Twenty-one overseas bases. |
| 02:00:11 |
Big money. |
| 02:00:12 |
You know how many helicopters |
| 02:00:17 |
Nearly 3,000 so far. |
| 02:00:19 |
Who makes them? |
| 02:00:23 |
Bell was nearly bankrupt when First |
| 02:00:27 |
...to use the helicopter in Indochina. |
| 02:00:31 |
General Dynamics of Fort Worth, Texas. |
| 02:00:34 |
Find out the defense budget since |
| 02:00:39 |
Nearly $200 billion will be spent |
| 02:00:43 |
In 1949, it was $10 billion. |
| 02:00:45 |
No war... no money. |
| 02:00:48 |
The organizing principle |
| 02:00:52 |
...is for war. |
| 02:00:53 |
The authority of the state over its people |
| 02:00:58 |
Kennedy wanted to end the Cold War |
| 02:01:01 |
He wanted to call off the moon race |
| 02:01:05 |
He signed a treaty to ban nuclear testing. |
| 02:01:07 |
He refused to invade Cuba in 1962. |
| 02:01:10 |
He set out to withdraw from Vietnam. |
| 02:01:14 |
But all that ended |
| 02:01:19 |
Since 1961, they knew Kennedy |
| 02:01:23 |
Like Caesar, he is surrounded by enemies. |
| 02:01:26 |
Something's underway, but it has no face. |
| 02:01:31 |
Forget about combat troops. |
| 02:01:33 |
He told McNamara he would pull out |
| 02:01:38 |
He fucked us in Laos and now |
| 02:01:42 |
He can't afford to implement it |
| 02:01:46 |
I hear the NSC meeting |
| 02:01:48 |
I wouldn't have missed it for the world. |
| 02:01:53 |
What? |
| 02:01:54 |
Kennedy rubbed Lem's nose in shit. |
| 02:01:56 |
Said if we didn't go into Cuba, |
| 02:01:59 |
...why go into Vietnam |
| 02:02:02 |
There he goes again. |
| 02:02:04 |
Got his hand on the chicken switch. |
| 02:02:06 |
Lem said that the Chiefs still think |
| 02:02:10 |
Money's at stake. |
| 02:02:11 |
Big money. $100 billion. |
| 02:02:14 |
Kennedy bred voting districts |
| 02:02:17 |
He gave TFX fighter contracts only |
| 02:02:22 |
The people in the loop fight back. |
| 02:02:25 |
We have to control the intelligence |
| 02:02:28 |
We just don't let McNamara |
| 02:02:32 |
Every time he goes over to Saigon |
| 02:02:36 |
...he comes back |
| 02:02:39 |
Now I want Max Taylor |
| 02:02:42 |
...like a fly on shit. |
| 02:02:44 |
You control McNamara, |
| 02:02:49 |
I think it started like that. |
| 02:02:50 |
In the wind. |
| 02:02:52 |
Defense contractors, oil bankers. |
| 02:02:56 |
A call is made. Maybe to someone |
| 02:03:01 |
We're going. We need your help. |
| 02:03:04 |
When? |
| 02:03:06 |
In the fall. Probably in the South. |
| 02:03:09 |
- We want you to come up with a plan. |
| 02:03:12 |
Everything is cellularized. |
| 02:03:13 |
No one said, "He must die. " No vote. |
| 02:03:18 |
There's no one to blame. |
| 02:03:20 |
It's as old as the crucifixion. |
| 02:03:22 |
Or the military firing squad. |
| 02:03:24 |
Five bullets, one blank. No one's guilty. |
| 02:03:28 |
Everybody in the power structure... |
| 02:03:30 |
...has a plausible deniability. |
| 02:03:32 |
No compromising connections |
| 02:03:37 |
But it must succeed. |
| 02:03:39 |
No matter how many die |
| 02:03:42 |
...the perpetrators must be |
| 02:03:45 |
...and never subject to prosecution |
| 02:03:49 |
That is a coup d'état. |
| 02:03:55 |
Kennedy announces |
| 02:03:58 |
At that moment, |
| 02:04:02 |
...where they have the mayor |
| 02:04:05 |
General Y flies in the assassins. |
| 02:04:07 |
Maybe from the special camp |
| 02:04:11 |
Pros. |
| 02:04:12 |
Maybe be locals, Cubans, Mafia hire. |
| 02:04:16 |
Does it matter who shot... |
| 02:04:18 |
...from what rooftop? |
| 02:04:21 |
Part of the scenery. |
| 02:04:24 |
I keep thinking about that Tuesday... |
| 02:04:26 |
...the 26th of November. |
| 02:04:28 |
The day after they buried Kennedy. |
| 02:04:30 |
Gentlemen, I am not going |
| 02:04:34 |
I'm committed... |
| 02:04:36 |
...not to take our soldiers out of there |
| 02:04:41 |
Lyndon Johnson signs |
| 02:04:44 |
...which reverses |
| 02:04:47 |
...and approves covert action |
| 02:04:50 |
...provoking the Gulf of Tonkin incident. |
| 02:04:52 |
Just get me elected, |
| 02:04:57 |
In that document... |
| 02:05:00 |
...lay the Vietnam War. |
| 02:05:07 |
I can't believe they killed him |
| 02:05:12 |
- In our time, in our country! |
| 02:05:16 |
Kings are killed. Politics is power, |
| 02:05:20 |
Don't take my word for it. |
| 02:05:26 |
The size of this is... |
| 02:05:28 |
...beyond me. |
| 02:05:30 |
Testify. |
| 02:05:32 |
- Me? |
| 02:05:35 |
No chance in hell. |
| 02:05:37 |
No, I'd be arrested and gagged. |
| 02:05:42 |
Maybe worse. You too. |
| 02:05:44 |
I can give you the background. |
| 02:05:48 |
Dig, you're the only one to bring a trial |
| 02:05:52 |
That's important. It's historic. |
| 02:05:55 |
I haven't yet. |
| 02:05:57 |
I don't have much of a case. |
| 02:06:01 |
You don't have a choice anymore. |
| 02:06:03 |
You're a significant threat |
| 02:06:07 |
They'd have killed you already, |
| 02:06:10 |
So they'll destroy your credibility. |
| 02:06:12 |
They already have in many circles. |
| 02:06:15 |
Be honest. |
| 02:06:16 |
Your only chance is to come up |
| 02:06:21 |
Make arrests. Stir the shitstorm. |
| 02:06:25 |
Hope to start... |
| 02:06:27 |
...a chain reaction |
| 02:06:29 |
Then the government will crack. |
| 02:06:31 |
Fundamentally, people are suckers |
| 02:06:35 |
And the truth is on your side, bubba. |
| 02:06:44 |
I just hope you get a break. |
| 02:07:31 |
Mr. Shaw? |
| 02:07:33 |
You are under arrest for conspiracy... |
| 02:07:36 |
...and entering into agreement with others |
| 02:07:40 |
...President John F. Kennedy. |
| 02:07:42 |
We have a warrant to search the premises. |
| 02:07:45 |
It's my duty to inform you... |
| 02:07:48 |
...you have the right to remain silent. |
| 02:07:51 |
Name? |
| 02:07:52 |
Clay LaVerne Shaw. |
| 02:07:56 |
Address? |
| 02:07:58 |
1313 Dauphine Street, New Orleans. |
| 02:08:02 |
Ever use any aliases? |
| 02:08:04 |
Clay Bertrand. |
| 02:08:12 |
Mr. Clark, are you aware of the charges |
| 02:08:16 |
Yes, Mr. Shaw was included |
| 02:08:20 |
No connection was found at all. |
| 02:08:23 |
If the FBI did investigate him, |
| 02:08:26 |
...in the entire 26 volumes |
| 02:08:29 |
...even if it is to clear his name? |
| 02:08:32 |
I doubt this Attorney General |
| 02:08:36 |
Mr. Garrison has presented |
| 02:08:40 |
...which would contradict our findings. |
| 02:08:44 |
I know of no fact which would refute... |
| 02:08:47 |
...the Commission's conclusion... |
| 02:08:50 |
...that Lee Oswald was the lone killer. |
| 02:08:55 |
I congratulate Mr. Shaw. |
| 02:08:59 |
...before they produce sacred cows |
| 02:09:03 |
...as a character witness... |
| 02:09:04 |
...who is not under oath |
| 02:09:08 |
Even if it's partly true... |
| 02:09:11 |
...you realize you're damaging |
| 02:09:15 |
Is a government worth preserving |
| 02:09:20 |
It's become a dangerous country... |
| 02:09:22 |
...when you cannot trust anyone. |
| 02:09:27 |
I say let justice be done, |
| 02:09:37 |
The JFK Conspiracy: |
| 02:09:41 |
- Honey, this is about you. |
| 02:09:45 |
...reporters have learned... |
| 02:09:46 |
...that District Attorney Jim Garrison |
| 02:09:50 |
...have intimidated, |
| 02:09:54 |
...to attempt to prove a conspiracy |
| 02:09:59 |
...in the murder of John F. Kennedy. |
| 02:10:02 |
John Chancler was a cellmate |
| 02:10:07 |
He said he'd be cut loose |
| 02:10:10 |
I sent him up for burglary. |
| 02:10:13 |
And there's his old buddy Miguel Torres. |
| 02:10:16 |
We sent him up too. |
| 02:10:18 |
They wanted me to say Shaw |
| 02:10:22 |
Janet Williams comments |
| 02:10:26 |
...descriptions of having met Oswald. |
| 02:10:28 |
Was he a homosexual? |
| 02:10:30 |
Not the Lee I knew. Absolutely not. |
| 02:10:33 |
Mr. O'Keefe must have seen someone |
| 02:10:37 |
I didn't talk to nobody. |
| 02:10:41 |
I told the FBI that call was a figment |
| 02:10:45 |
I think he's quite ill, mentally. |
| 02:10:47 |
With one half of his mind, |
| 02:10:52 |
...then he convinces the other half |
| 02:10:57 |
Don't worry. There's only 20 |
| 02:11:03 |
My reputation's all right |
| 02:11:06 |
Has he ignored the Mafia connections |
| 02:11:09 |
...because he's indebted to the mob? |
| 02:11:13 |
The more one looks at Jim Garrison, |
| 02:11:17 |
...he has destroyed reputations, spread fear |
| 02:11:22 |
...exploited this nation's sorrow and doubt. |
| 02:11:25 |
Jim Garrison has said: |
| 02:11:28 |
"Let justice be done, |
| 02:11:32 |
He seeks the truth. So do we. |
| 02:11:46 |
Dr. Martin Luther King's beautiful dream |
| 02:11:50 |
...during the 1963 march on Washington... |
| 02:11:53 |
...was shattered tonight in Memphis, |
| 02:11:56 |
Police think the single shot came |
| 02:12:00 |
They found a Browning automatic rifle, |
| 02:12:05 |
I'll get it. |
| 02:12:09 |
Hello, is this Jim Garrison's daughter? |
| 02:12:13 |
Virginia or Elizabeth? |
| 02:12:16 |
Virginia, you're a lucky little girl. |
| 02:12:19 |
Your daddy's entered you |
| 02:12:24 |
I don't know. |
| 02:12:26 |
My God! What have they done? |
| 02:12:29 |
It's lynching time. |
| 02:12:33 |
That sounds fun. |
| 02:12:36 |
You get out of school at 3:00? |
| 02:12:38 |
Who are you talking to? |
| 02:12:40 |
That's all I need to know. |
| 02:12:42 |
Mommy, I'm going to be |
| 02:12:45 |
Who is this? Who is this? |
| 02:12:49 |
Did you enter Virginia in a beauty contest? |
| 02:12:52 |
A man called and asked her height, |
| 02:12:55 |
Some crackpot. |
| 02:12:58 |
Her life's been threatened! |
| 02:13:00 |
A crank making calls. |
| 02:13:03 |
Our home! A kidnapper, a murderer! |
| 02:13:06 |
Only cowards make crank calls. |
| 02:13:08 |
Nothing will happen. |
| 02:13:10 |
You don't know what goes on here |
| 02:13:15 |
Getting every crazed Klansman after us! |
| 02:13:18 |
I'm taking the kids and I'm leaving! |
| 02:13:23 |
- The government wants us scared. |
| 02:13:26 |
They want everybody too scared |
| 02:13:29 |
- There's nothing to fear! |
| 02:13:34 |
Your own daughter! |
| 02:13:36 |
What kind of a man are you? |
| 02:13:42 |
I'll take them to my mother's. |
| 02:13:46 |
I'll change the locks, the phones. |
| 02:13:49 |
Get a hold of yourself! |
| 02:13:51 |
Before this Kennedy thing, |
| 02:13:55 |
The other night you didn't |
| 02:13:59 |
He came to me bawling his eyes out. |
| 02:14:01 |
I promise I'll make more time for Jasper. |
| 02:14:04 |
Is it such a chore? |
| 02:14:06 |
Goddamn it! If I said I'll spend |
| 02:14:10 |
I cannot fight you and the whole world too! |
| 02:14:13 |
I'm not fighting you! |
| 02:14:16 |
- You've changed. |
| 02:14:20 |
My eyes have opened. |
| 02:14:22 |
And what once looked normal |
| 02:14:25 |
And now King. Don't you think |
| 02:14:28 |
Can't you see? |
| 02:14:29 |
I don't want to see, goddamn it! |
| 02:14:34 |
You're ruining this man Shaw's life |
| 02:14:38 |
That's not why! |
| 02:14:40 |
Did you ever once stop |
| 02:14:46 |
You don't believe me? |
| 02:14:48 |
- I don't know! |
| 02:14:51 |
I just want to raise our children |
| 02:14:55 |
I want my life back! |
| 02:14:58 |
So do I, goddamn it! |
| 02:15:01 |
I had a life too, you know! |
| 02:15:03 |
You can't bury your head in the sand |
| 02:15:07 |
It's not about our well-being, our two cars, |
| 02:15:14 |
It's about our kids growing up |
| 02:15:17 |
My life is fucked because of it. |
| 02:15:19 |
If you could see it that way, |
| 02:15:23 |
You never talked to me this way. |
| 02:15:24 |
If you don't want to support me, fine. |
| 02:15:27 |
But don't make threats |
| 02:15:30 |
I'm leaving you! |
| 02:15:31 |
- I'm taking the children! |
| 02:15:34 |
- I am! |
| 02:15:36 |
Join the rest! They'll say I'm crazy. |
| 02:15:38 |
Plenty of people will tell you I'm crazy. |
| 02:15:42 |
You won't have any problems |
| 02:15:47 |
But somebody's got to try, goddamn it! |
| 02:15:49 |
Somebody! |
| 02:15:55 |
Are we going away, Daddy? |
| 02:16:05 |
I don't know, Jasper. |
| 02:16:07 |
Because of Kennedy? |
| 02:16:09 |
Will the same people kill us, Papa? |
| 02:16:15 |
Nobody will kill us. |
| 02:16:17 |
I'm scared. |
| 02:16:19 |
I don't like it when you and Mommy fight. |
| 02:16:25 |
I don't like it either, honey. |
| 02:16:28 |
Why do we have to leave? |
| 02:16:31 |
Don't you love us anymore? |
| 02:16:36 |
Daddy loves you both. |
| 02:16:40 |
There's nothing wrong |
| 02:16:43 |
Telling the truth can be |
| 02:16:47 |
It scared President Kennedy, |
| 02:16:51 |
But if you let yourself be too scared... |
| 02:16:54 |
...then you let the bad guys |
| 02:16:59 |
Then everybody gets scared. |
| 02:17:02 |
Stay with Mom, Papa. |
| 02:17:04 |
Please. |
| 02:17:13 |
Here's another. |
| 02:17:14 |
The US Attorney in Washington declines |
| 02:17:18 |
...on Allen Dulles, Charles Cabell, |
| 02:17:22 |
What'd you expect from a pig but a grunt? |
| 02:17:25 |
Now it'll be near impossible |
| 02:17:29 |
What's going on? |
| 02:17:31 |
We've never been refused |
| 02:17:34 |
Let's get Julia Ann Mercer in here. |
| 02:17:37 |
No, she could get hurt. |
| 02:17:39 |
Look what's happening to other people. |
| 02:17:41 |
She's the best witness we have. |
| 02:17:43 |
I just don't want to do it. Now, what else? |
| 02:17:48 |
You got your hate mail here. |
| 02:17:52 |
The bad news is that the IRS requested |
| 02:17:58 |
I expected that two months ago. |
| 02:18:05 |
The bad news is the National Guard |
| 02:18:10 |
Maybe that's the good news. |
| 02:18:15 |
But this is. |
| 02:18:17 |
Any more on Oswald or Shaw? |
| 02:18:21 |
They were seen together in Clinton |
| 02:18:24 |
The Civil Rights Movement |
| 02:18:29 |
Rumor is, Shaw was working |
| 02:18:32 |
...to discredit the Civil Rights Movement. |
| 02:18:35 |
Nobody really knows |
| 02:18:38 |
...hell, they stood out like cotton balls. |
| 02:18:40 |
I got whites and coloreds |
| 02:18:43 |
Last time I checked, |
| 02:18:48 |
We still got the... |
| 02:18:50 |
...the junkie, Vernon Bundy, |
| 02:18:55 |
This is tough. |
| 02:18:58 |
You keep saying that. |
| 02:19:00 |
- I keep saying what? |
| 02:19:02 |
You want to do my job! |
| 02:19:05 |
I think Clinton is a breakthrough now. |
| 02:19:09 |
Shaw denies ever knowing Oswald, right? |
| 02:19:13 |
That proves he's a liar. |
| 02:19:17 |
- Keep on it, Bill. |
| 02:19:19 |
Oswald went to see the FBI two weeks... |
| 02:19:21 |
...before the assassination. |
| 02:19:23 |
May I see Special Agent Hosty? |
| 02:19:25 |
He's not in. Can someone else help you? |
| 02:19:27 |
Special Agent Hosty made three visits |
| 02:19:32 |
...to keep an eye on Marina. He left a note. |
| 02:19:34 |
Hosty told a newspaperman |
| 02:19:38 |
...to stop questioning Marina |
| 02:19:41 |
She was not a citizen, so possibly |
| 02:19:47 |
But what the note really said, |
| 02:19:49 |
Hosty tore it up |
| 02:19:52 |
This is just speculation. |
| 02:19:54 |
But what if the note described |
| 02:20:04 |
Come on, think! |
| 02:20:06 |
That's the only reason to destroy it. |
| 02:20:09 |
If it was a threat like Hosty said, |
| 02:20:13 |
It makes their case against the angry, |
| 02:20:18 |
Remember the meeting |
| 02:20:20 |
...the day he was arrested? |
| 02:20:22 |
Quigley destroyed the notes |
| 02:20:25 |
We can raise the possibility |
| 02:20:29 |
...but he may have been the original source |
| 02:20:35 |
...warning of Kennedy's assassination |
| 02:20:41 |
William Walter, the FBI night clerk, |
| 02:20:46 |
It went all over the country. |
| 02:20:48 |
The motorcade went ahead on schedule. |
| 02:20:52 |
"A militant group may attempt |
| 02:20:56 |
"... on his proposed trip |
| 02:20:59 |
Shortly after the assassination... |
| 02:21:01 |
...Walter says the telex was removed |
| 02:21:05 |
...as an obvious embarrassment |
| 02:21:09 |
I believe Oswald sent information |
| 02:21:12 |
I have a hunch Oswald |
| 02:21:16 |
Cubans or right-wing extremists. |
| 02:21:19 |
He was told to be |
| 02:21:23 |
...to either prevent the assassination |
| 02:21:26 |
Either they told him |
| 02:21:31 |
...or simulate an attack... |
| 02:21:32 |
...on Kennedy to whip up public opinion... |
| 02:21:35 |
...so Kennedy would have to reverse |
| 02:21:39 |
What they told him doesn't matter. |
| 02:21:41 |
He was under orders. |
| 02:21:43 |
He was a foot soldier. |
| 02:21:47 |
You can't miss. He is a dead duck. |
| 02:21:51 |
I don't buy it. |
| 02:21:53 |
Why would the FBI cover it up? |
| 02:21:55 |
A telex disappears from every FBI office |
| 02:22:00 |
There's a word, Bill. |
| 02:22:01 |
- Orders. |
| 02:22:04 |
Don't you have enough proof |
| 02:22:08 |
I respect this country's institutions! |
| 02:22:12 |
How the hell can you keep |
| 02:22:16 |
...between the mob, CIA, FBl, Army |
| 02:22:21 |
...when you can't keep a secret |
| 02:22:25 |
I mean, we got leaks everywhere. |
| 02:22:27 |
We are going to trial, y'all! |
| 02:22:30 |
What the hell do we really got? |
| 02:22:32 |
Oswald, Ruby, Banister, |
| 02:22:36 |
Maybe Shaw is an agent. I don't know. |
| 02:22:39 |
But as a covert operator... |
| 02:22:40 |
...he is wide open for blackmail |
| 02:22:44 |
Shaw's our toehold. |
| 02:22:48 |
But he's lying through his teeth. |
| 02:22:52 |
That's why you're going to trial |
| 02:22:55 |
You will lose! |
| 02:22:56 |
We should investigate |
| 02:22:59 |
I can buy that easier |
| 02:23:04 |
Ruby is all mob, knows Oswald, |
| 02:23:08 |
Hoffa, Trafficante, Marcello, |
| 02:23:12 |
The government doesn't want |
| 02:23:16 |
...because it used the mob |
| 02:23:20 |
Castro being assassinated |
| 02:23:23 |
...sounds wild to John Q. Citizen. |
| 02:23:25 |
So they close the book on JFK. |
| 02:23:29 |
Makes perfect sense to me. |
| 02:23:31 |
I don't doubt their involvement |
| 02:23:35 |
Could the mob change the parade route? |
| 02:23:37 |
Or eliminate the protection |
| 02:23:41 |
Could the mob send Oswald to Russia |
| 02:23:44 |
Get the FBl, the CIA and the Dallas Police |
| 02:23:49 |
Get the Warren Commission appointed |
| 02:23:53 |
Wreck the autopsy? Influence |
| 02:23:57 |
Since when has the mob used anything |
| 02:24:03 |
The mob wouldn't have the guts or |
| 02:24:07 |
Assassins need payrolls... |
| 02:24:10 |
...schedules, times, orders. |
| 02:24:13 |
This was a military-style ambush. |
| 02:24:16 |
A coup d'etat with Lyndon Johnson |
| 02:24:19 |
You're saying Lyndon Johnson |
| 02:24:24 |
Johnson got $1 billion for his friends, |
| 02:24:27 |
...to dredge Cam Ranh Bay in Vietnam. |
| 02:24:30 |
Boss, are you calling the President |
| 02:24:33 |
If I'm so far from the truth, |
| 02:24:37 |
Why are witnesses being bought off |
| 02:24:40 |
Why are federal agencies blocking |
| 02:24:44 |
I don't know. |
| 02:24:46 |
Maybe there's some rogue element |
| 02:24:49 |
With a full-blown cover-up? |
| 02:24:52 |
You ever read Shakespeare? |
| 02:24:57 |
I do. |
| 02:24:59 |
Julius Caesar? |
| 02:25:01 |
"Brutus and Cassius, |
| 02:25:05 |
Who killed Caesar? |
| 02:25:08 |
Ten or twelve Senators. |
| 02:25:10 |
All it takes is one Judas. |
| 02:25:13 |
A few people on the inside. Pentagon, CIA. |
| 02:25:16 |
This is Louisiana. |
| 02:25:18 |
How do you know who your daddy is? |
| 02:25:24 |
You are taking a crap in the wind. |
| 02:25:26 |
And I am not going along on this one. |
| 02:25:39 |
I've had my doubts all along about Bill. |
| 02:25:43 |
He's been fighting us. |
| 02:25:46 |
We need him back. |
| 02:25:48 |
He wasted a month trying to prove... |
| 02:25:50 |
...that mob boys like Jack Ruby |
| 02:25:54 |
- I don't trust him. |
| 02:25:56 |
I value Bill as much as any person here. |
| 02:26:01 |
It's time we made room |
| 02:26:06 |
Maybe Oswald is what everyone says he is, |
| 02:26:09 |
...just plain dumb about it. |
| 02:26:11 |
I've seen him copying files here |
| 02:26:14 |
- I don't trust him. |
| 02:26:17 |
I won't tolerate staff infighting. |
| 02:26:20 |
I'm afraid I cannot work |
| 02:26:24 |
Is this an ultimatum? |
| 02:26:28 |
Are you giving me an ultimatum? |
| 02:26:29 |
If that's what you want to call it. |
| 02:26:34 |
I never thought it'd come to this. |
| 02:26:40 |
I guess I am. |
| 02:26:42 |
I won't have any ultimatum put to me, Lou. |
| 02:26:51 |
You sure got it. |
| 02:26:58 |
You are one stubborn son of a bitch. |
| 02:27:03 |
You're making a big mistake. |
| 02:27:12 |
Boss, aren't you being a little hard? |
| 02:27:16 |
No, I don't think I am. |
| 02:27:19 |
Anyone else? |
| 02:27:26 |
Now, Jerry, here's Jim Garrison... |
| 02:27:29 |
...the District Attorney |
| 02:27:47 |
Welcome, District Attorney Garrison. |
| 02:27:50 |
You're investigating the murder |
| 02:27:54 |
We have heard some strange things |
| 02:27:58 |
First, we heard that Cuban exiles |
| 02:28:02 |
Then the mob... |
| 02:28:04 |
Your latest theory seems to be |
| 02:28:09 |
...and the Pentagon... |
| 02:28:10 |
...and the White House all combined |
| 02:28:17 |
Is there anyone |
| 02:28:19 |
...who you think didn't conspire |
| 02:28:25 |
Let's just say this, Jerry... |
| 02:28:28 |
...I've stopped beating my wife. |
| 02:28:32 |
Maybe you should ask Lyndon Johnson. |
| 02:28:39 |
There have been a number of reports |
| 02:28:43 |
...Time, Newsweek, our own NBC... |
| 02:28:45 |
...that you've gone beyond legal means |
| 02:28:50 |
...that you've intimidated, |
| 02:28:53 |
...bribed them, and urged them |
| 02:28:57 |
Do you have a response? |
| 02:28:58 |
Your faith in the veracity |
| 02:29:02 |
It indicates that the age of innocence |
| 02:29:05 |
But ask yourself... |
| 02:29:07 |
...if we had learned |
| 02:29:09 |
...that the Russian Premier had been shot |
| 02:29:13 |
...by a lonely capitalist sympathizer... |
| 02:29:15 |
...who, himself, was then liquidated |
| 02:29:19 |
...while surrounded by armed police. |
| 02:29:21 |
I think it would be apparent to anyone... |
| 02:29:24 |
...that a coup d'etat and a transfer |
| 02:29:29 |
And we would not ask questions |
| 02:29:33 |
We would, in a free-thinking society... |
| 02:29:35 |
...be asking why he was killed, |
| 02:29:40 |
There are some people who might say |
| 02:29:43 |
I should show you some pictures |
| 02:29:47 |
...what I'm talking about. |
| 02:29:50 |
These are arrests. |
| 02:29:52 |
These arrests were photographed |
| 02:29:56 |
They were never shown to the public. |
| 02:29:58 |
I'm sorry, |
| 02:30:01 |
- Sure they can. |
| 02:30:03 |
- The camera can pick these up. |
| 02:30:06 |
They can't. We have libel laws. |
| 02:30:09 |
Those men you just saw were arrested |
| 02:30:14 |
They were never seen again. |
| 02:30:15 |
No record of arrest, |
| 02:30:19 |
Hold that thought. |
| 02:30:20 |
We'll be back, |
| 02:30:34 |
Bill, what the hell are you doing here? |
| 02:30:36 |
I'm sorry about the other day. |
| 02:30:41 |
You came all this way |
| 02:30:44 |
No. Look... |
| 02:30:46 |
...I just heard of an attempt to kill you |
| 02:30:51 |
A mob guy was brought down by Shaw |
| 02:30:54 |
This is serious. |
| 02:30:58 |
When you were in the Army, |
| 02:31:02 |
Do you remember my orders |
| 02:31:06 |
...about someone going to be killed? |
| 02:31:08 |
- Yes, I do, but this is- |
| 02:31:11 |
There is no "but" in a military situation! |
| 02:31:14 |
I don't appreciate you dumping |
| 02:31:17 |
...nor your inability |
| 02:31:20 |
...especially when it means I have to pay |
| 02:31:25 |
Let's get you a ticket. |
| 02:31:28 |
Boss, I'm sorry. |
| 02:31:32 |
Get a receipt. |
| 02:32:20 |
Come on, come on. He's out here. |
| 02:32:22 |
Jim, where are you going? |
| 02:32:34 |
- Hey, how long were you in that restroom? |
| 02:33:27 |
Jim, bad news, Bill's turned. |
| 02:33:30 |
I think he's given everything we've got |
| 02:33:33 |
We studied the memos |
| 02:33:36 |
We went to confront him and the landlady |
| 02:33:40 |
Left everything. |
| 02:33:42 |
It's unbelievable. I'm sorry. |
| 02:33:44 |
Mattie, could you get Mr. Garrison |
| 02:33:47 |
Something sure scared him. |
| 02:33:49 |
Bill doesn't scare that easy. |
| 02:33:52 |
- He was never that good a thinker. |
| 02:33:56 |
No, no, leave it. Don't turn it down. |
| 02:34:01 |
You know what's happening, he's winning. |
| 02:34:05 |
He'll never make it. |
| 02:34:08 |
If he wins, they'll kill him. |
| 02:34:13 |
They'll kill him |
| 02:34:22 |
With Broussard, they have everything... |
| 02:34:24 |
...all our witnesses, |
| 02:34:27 |
We got to double check his work. |
| 02:34:29 |
There could be false leads. |
| 02:34:32 |
We don't have a prayer! |
| 02:34:33 |
- I don't think so, Al. |
| 02:34:37 |
This is not one we'll come out on. |
| 02:34:40 |
You remember the Hemingway story, |
| 02:34:44 |
The old fisherman manages |
| 02:34:48 |
...a fish so huge, that he has to tie it |
| 02:34:52 |
By the time it reached shore... |
| 02:34:54 |
...the fish had long since been picked apart |
| 02:35:01 |
Nothing was left, but the skeleton. |
| 02:35:02 |
- And that's what will happen to us. |
| 02:35:06 |
It's a means to an end. |
| 02:35:09 |
This war has two fronts. |
| 02:35:12 |
In a court of law, |
| 02:35:16 |
In the court of public opinion, |
| 02:35:21 |
...for the truth to come out. |
| 02:35:25 |
At least we'll strike the first blow. |
| 02:35:29 |
What if you're wrong? |
| 02:35:34 |
I never thought for a second I was. |
| 02:35:41 |
Will you come to the trial? |
| 02:35:44 |
I don't think so. |
| 02:35:47 |
With 53% of the precincts reporting, |
| 02:35:53 |
...over Sen. McCarthy. |
| 02:35:55 |
CBS News projects Sen. Robert Kennedy... |
| 02:35:57 |
...the winner of the California primary. |
| 02:36:00 |
Within the United States over the period |
| 02:36:04 |
...the division, the violence, |
| 02:36:09 |
...the divisions between blacks |
| 02:36:11 |
...the poor and the affluent, |
| 02:36:15 |
...or Vietnam, we can work together. |
| 02:36:17 |
We are a great country, an unselfish, |
| 02:36:21 |
That's my basis for running. |
| 02:36:28 |
Thank you all. |
| 02:36:45 |
Senator Kennedy has been shot! |
| 02:37:29 |
They killed him, honey. |
| 02:37:34 |
He won... |
| 02:37:35 |
...and they killed Robert Kennedy. |
| 02:37:40 |
They shot him down. |
| 02:37:43 |
Oh, my God! |
| 02:37:48 |
Both of them? |
| 02:37:50 |
Both brothers? |
| 02:37:57 |
You were right. |
| 02:38:00 |
It hasn't ended yet. |
| 02:38:10 |
For the first time... |
| 02:38:13 |
...I feel really scared. |
| 02:38:28 |
I wish I could've loved you more. |
| 02:38:33 |
Sometimes I feel like |
| 02:38:39 |
...or the children enough. |
| 02:38:43 |
I'm sorry. |
| 02:39:28 |
Please rise. |
| 02:39:32 |
The Criminal District Court for Orleans |
| 02:39:37 |
Honorable Judge Edward A. Haggerty, Jr. |
| 02:39:46 |
That's Clay Bertrand. |
| 02:39:48 |
That's who I saw at Ferrie's. |
| 02:39:50 |
That's who you say you saw. |
| 02:39:53 |
A confessed homosexual. |
| 02:39:56 |
Convicted of pandering and soliciting. |
| 02:39:59 |
A man who has lied about everything... |
| 02:40:02 |
...and now wants to be taken at his word. |
| 02:40:05 |
That man, right there. Yes, sir. |
| 02:40:07 |
He was at the Pontchartrain wall... |
| 02:40:10 |
...with the man who shot the President. |
| 02:40:14 |
I remember him because of his limp. |
| 02:40:16 |
A heroin addict injecting himself |
| 02:40:20 |
Barely conscious of his surroundings. |
| 02:40:22 |
- Is that the man? |
| 02:40:25 |
He dropped Oswald off on the voter's line. |
| 02:40:28 |
I remember 'cause they were the only |
| 02:40:31 |
That big black Cadillac of his |
| 02:40:35 |
Welcome to Clinton. |
| 02:40:38 |
He said he was a representative |
| 02:40:43 |
More than five years ago, |
| 02:40:46 |
It's fair to say you could be mistaken. |
| 02:40:49 |
Just a figment of my imagination. |
| 02:40:51 |
The cat's stewing you, I told him. |
| 02:40:54 |
You got the right ta-ta, |
| 02:40:57 |
Bertrand is not Shaw, scout's honor. |
| 02:41:01 |
Objection, Your Honor! |
| 02:41:02 |
Andrews has been convicted of perjury |
| 02:41:06 |
Exception taken. That case is on appeal. |
| 02:41:09 |
Mr. Goldberg... |
| 02:41:11 |
...you claim you met Ferrie and Shaw |
| 02:41:14 |
...from your accounting business |
| 02:41:16 |
You had drinks... |
| 02:41:18 |
...and while drunk, |
| 02:41:20 |
- Is that not so? |
| 02:41:22 |
Is it also true that you fingerprinted |
| 02:41:27 |
Yes, sir, I did. |
| 02:41:29 |
Is it also true that you fingerprinted her |
| 02:41:33 |
Yes, I did. |
| 02:41:34 |
Why? |
| 02:41:36 |
I wanted to make sure |
| 02:41:42 |
He was one of Broussard's witnesses. |
| 02:41:44 |
He was totally sane |
| 02:41:47 |
Your Honor, we call Police Officer |
| 02:41:52 |
I must ask the jury to leave the court. |
| 02:41:54 |
Gentlemen, will you please rise |
| 02:41:57 |
- Name? |
| 02:42:00 |
Defendant didn't have his lawyer present. |
| 02:42:02 |
It's standard booking procedure |
| 02:42:05 |
I call them as I see them! |
| 02:42:07 |
Any aliases? |
| 02:42:08 |
Clay Bertrand. |
| 02:42:12 |
It's not constitutionally required |
| 02:42:16 |
- I'm ruling that inadmissible! |
| 02:42:19 |
Then you didn't have a case. |
| 02:42:22 |
I wouldn't believe anything |
| 02:42:25 |
I can't believe you're saying this! |
| 02:42:27 |
I am saying it. Bring in the jury. |
| 02:42:34 |
- Oswald? |
| 02:42:37 |
- Ever call Dean Andrews? |
| 02:42:42 |
Have you ever met David Ferrie? |
| 02:42:45 |
Wouldn't even know what he looked like |
| 02:42:50 |
Did you ever use the alias, Clay Bertrand? |
| 02:42:53 |
No, I did not. |
| 02:42:56 |
Thank you, Mr. Shaw. |
| 02:43:01 |
A very great actor has just given us |
| 02:43:05 |
But we are nowhere closer to the truth. |
| 02:43:08 |
My office is charging Clay Shaw |
| 02:43:12 |
...on 15 answers he's given today, |
| 02:43:16 |
You're out of order! Now, sit down! |
| 02:43:19 |
That's the man right there. |
| 02:43:28 |
To prove there was a conspiracy |
| 02:43:32 |
...we must prove there was more than |
| 02:43:37 |
To do that... |
| 02:43:38 |
...we must look at the Zapruder film |
| 02:43:42 |
The American public has not seen... |
| 02:43:47 |
...has not seen the film. It's been locked |
| 02:43:53 |
...in the Time-Life Building in New York. |
| 02:43:56 |
There's a reason for that. |
| 02:43:59 |
Watch. |
| 02:44:50 |
"The picture speaks 1,000 words. " |
| 02:44:55 |
The Warren Commission thought they had |
| 02:44:58 |
Three bullets, one assassin. |
| 02:45:01 |
Two unpredictable things happened |
| 02:45:04 |
One, the film shot by Abraham Zapruder |
| 02:45:10 |
Two, the third wounded man, |
| 02:45:15 |
...while standing near the triple underpass. |
| 02:45:18 |
The time frame, 5.6 seconds, |
| 02:45:21 |
...left no possibility of a fourth shot. |
| 02:45:24 |
So the shot of fragment that left |
| 02:45:29 |
...came from one of the three bullets |
| 02:45:34 |
That leaves just two bullets. |
| 02:45:36 |
We know one was the fatal head shot |
| 02:45:42 |
So a single bullet remains. |
| 02:45:44 |
A single bullet must account for the seven |
| 02:45:49 |
Rather than admit to a conspiracy |
| 02:45:53 |
...the Warren Commission |
| 02:45:55 |
...put forth by an ambitious attorney, |
| 02:45:59 |
One of the grossest lies ever forced |
| 02:46:04 |
It's known as the "magic bullet" theory. |
| 02:46:07 |
The magic bullet... |
| 02:46:08 |
...enters the President's back, |
| 02:46:13 |
It then moves upwards to leave Kennedy's |
| 02:46:19 |
...wound #2... |
| 02:46:21 |
...where it waits 1.6 seconds... |
| 02:46:23 |
...presumably in midair, |
| 02:46:28 |
...right, then left... |
| 02:46:30 |
...and continues |
| 02:46:34 |
Wound #3. |
| 02:46:36 |
The bullet then heads down at an angle |
| 02:46:41 |
...and exiting from the right side |
| 02:46:46 |
The bullet turns right, reentering |
| 02:46:51 |
Wound #5. |
| 02:46:53 |
Shattering the radius bone... |
| 02:46:55 |
...the bullet exits Connally's wrist, |
| 02:46:59 |
...makes a dramatic U-turn, |
| 02:47:04 |
Wound #7, from which it later falls out... |
| 02:47:07 |
...and is found |
| 02:47:10 |
...on a stretcher in a corridor |
| 02:47:16 |
Some bullet. |
| 02:47:19 |
Any combat vet can tell you, |
| 02:47:22 |
...has there been a bullet this ridiculous. |
| 02:47:26 |
The government says it can prove it |
| 02:47:31 |
Of course they can. |
| 02:47:33 |
Theoretical physics can prove |
| 02:47:36 |
...with his tail tied to a daisy. |
| 02:47:39 |
But use your eyes, your common sense. |
| 02:47:42 |
The Army wound ballistics experts |
| 02:47:47 |
Not one of them looked anything like this. |
| 02:47:51 |
Take a look at CE-856. |
| 02:47:54 |
An identical bullet... |
| 02:47:56 |
...fired through the wrist |
| 02:48:00 |
...just one of the bones smashed |
| 02:48:04 |
Seven wounds, gentlemen. |
| 02:48:06 |
Tough skin... |
| 02:48:08 |
...dense bones. |
| 02:48:10 |
This single-bullet explanation... |
| 02:48:13 |
...is the foundation of the Warren |
| 02:48:17 |
And once you conclude... |
| 02:48:19 |
...the magic bullet couldn't create |
| 02:48:22 |
...you must conclude there was |
| 02:48:28 |
And if there was a second rifleman... |
| 02:48:30 |
...then by definition there had |
| 02:48:34 |
...which we believe |
| 02:48:38 |
Fifty-one witnesses thought |
| 02:48:44 |
...which is to the right, |
| 02:48:48 |
Key witnesses that day? |
| 02:48:50 |
Charles Brehm, a combat vet. |
| 02:48:53 |
Right behind, Jean Hill and Mary Moorman. |
| 02:48:56 |
S.M. Holland, Richard Dodd, |
| 02:48:59 |
...standing on the overpass. J.C. Price... |
| 02:49:02 |
...overlooking the plaza. |
| 02:49:05 |
William Newman, father of two children. |
| 02:49:08 |
He hit the deck on the north side of Elm. |
| 02:49:11 |
Abraham Zapruder. |
| 02:49:30 |
Each of these key witnesses |
| 02:49:33 |
...one or more shots came |
| 02:49:37 |
Twenty-six trained medical personnel |
| 02:49:40 |
...saw the back of the President's head |
| 02:49:46 |
Doctor Peters. |
| 02:49:49 |
There was a large 7 cm opening |
| 02:49:53 |
A considerable portion |
| 02:49:58 |
A fifth or possibly a quarter of the back |
| 02:50:03 |
...along with the underlying brain tissue. |
| 02:50:05 |
When's the proper time |
| 02:50:08 |
There was also a large fragment of skull |
| 02:50:13 |
The exit hole in the rear of his head |
| 02:50:17 |
...or five inches, across. |
| 02:50:18 |
Not one of the civilian doctors |
| 02:50:23 |
...regarded his throat wound as anything |
| 02:50:27 |
But then the body was illegally moved |
| 02:50:31 |
Because when a coup d'état has occurred... |
| 02:50:33 |
...there's a big difference between |
| 02:50:38 |
...and one that is performed |
| 02:50:42 |
The departure of Air Force One, Friday |
| 02:50:47 |
...as it was a getaway, |
| 02:50:51 |
Objection! |
| 02:50:52 |
Sustained. |
| 02:50:53 |
On the plane, the White House Situation |
| 02:50:58 |
...to all passengers before any kind |
| 02:51:02 |
The "angry lone nut" solution |
| 02:51:05 |
- Objection, Your Honor. |
| 02:51:09 |
Please bottle the acid. |
| 02:51:13 |
The three Bethesda doctors picked by |
| 02:51:18 |
None of them had experience |
| 02:51:22 |
Through their autopsy, we've been able |
| 02:51:27 |
Three to Kennedy, five to Connally. |
| 02:51:29 |
One of them being the "magic bullet. " |
| 02:51:32 |
- FBl? |
| 02:51:33 |
Col. Finck, are you saying someone |
| 02:51:37 |
I was told the family wanted |
| 02:51:41 |
Oh, Christ. |
| 02:51:43 |
Looks like half his brain is gone. |
| 02:51:44 |
- Weigh it. |
| 02:51:47 |
As a pathologist, it was your obligation |
| 02:51:50 |
...all possible causes of death. |
| 02:51:52 |
I had the cause of death. |
| 02:51:54 |
Your Honor, please direct the witness |
| 02:51:58 |
Why did Col. Finck not dissect |
| 02:52:01 |
I heard Dr. Humes stating... |
| 02:52:04 |
That's enough. That's enough. |
| 02:52:06 |
It's duly noted. |
| 02:52:08 |
Let's check the back. |
| 02:52:17 |
I can feel the end of the wound |
| 02:52:20 |
That won't be necessary. |
| 02:52:24 |
Watch the ear! |
| 02:52:27 |
Shot in the back. Cheap crime. |
| 02:52:30 |
He said: |
| 02:52:31 |
Who's in charge here? |
| 02:52:33 |
I am. |
| 02:52:36 |
I don't remember his name. |
| 02:52:38 |
It was quite crowded. |
| 02:52:40 |
And when you are called to look |
| 02:52:44 |
...you don't ask people for their names |
| 02:52:47 |
But you were a qualified pathologist. |
| 02:52:51 |
No. |
| 02:52:53 |
But you took his orders. |
| 02:52:55 |
Yes. |
| 02:52:56 |
- So he was directing the autopsy. |
| 02:52:59 |
There were others. |
| 02:53:02 |
There were admirals. |
| 02:53:06 |
When you're a Lieutenant Colonel, |
| 02:53:09 |
It is not our business to discuss this |
| 02:53:13 |
As I recall, Admiral Kenney, |
| 02:53:17 |
...specifically told us |
| 02:53:23 |
A lot of people were deciding |
| 02:53:26 |
...none of the American people's business. |
| 02:53:29 |
The chief pathologist, Commander Humes... |
| 02:53:31 |
...by his own admission, |
| 02:53:35 |
President Johnson orders |
| 02:53:38 |
...filled with bullet holes and clues |
| 02:53:42 |
He sends Connally's bloody suit |
| 02:53:46 |
The Justice Department denied this office |
| 02:53:51 |
When we finally get a court order |
| 02:53:56 |
...in the hopes of finding |
| 02:53:59 |
...we're told... |
| 02:54:01 |
...by your government that |
| 02:54:09 |
That's not all that's disappeared. |
| 02:54:13 |
Objection. Mr. Garrison is insulting |
| 02:54:18 |
Overruled! |
| 02:54:26 |
So, what really happened that day? |
| 02:54:29 |
Let's just for a moment speculate, |
| 02:54:32 |
We have the epileptic seizure... |
| 02:54:35 |
...distracting the police and allowing |
| 02:54:40 |
The epileptic later vanished, |
| 02:54:46 |
The A-team goes to the sixth floor |
| 02:54:49 |
They were refurbishing the floors |
| 02:54:52 |
...allowing unknown workmen |
| 02:54:55 |
They move quickly into position, |
| 02:54:59 |
The second spotter, talking by radio to |
| 02:55:05 |
The God spot. |
| 02:55:06 |
B- team, one rifleman and one spotter |
| 02:55:11 |
...moves into a low floor |
| 02:55:15 |
The third team, C-team, moves in |
| 02:55:20 |
...where the shooter and the spotter |
| 02:55:26 |
They have the best position. |
| 02:55:28 |
Kennedy is close and on a flat, |
| 02:55:32 |
Part of this team is a coordinator... |
| 02:55:34 |
...who flashed security credentials |
| 02:55:39 |
Probably two to three more men |
| 02:55:44 |
Ten to twelve men. |
| 02:55:48 |
The triangulation of fire Clay Shaw and |
| 02:55:53 |
They blocked the plaza. |
| 02:55:56 |
They know every inch. |
| 02:55:59 |
They've calibrated their sights. |
| 02:56:04 |
They're ready. |
| 02:56:06 |
Kennedy's motorcade makes a turn |
| 02:56:11 |
It's going to be a turkey shoot. |
| 02:56:14 |
They don't shoot him on Houston... |
| 02:56:16 |
...the easiest shot for a single shooter |
| 02:56:20 |
They wait till he gets to the killing zone |
| 02:56:25 |
Kennedy makes the turn |
| 02:56:29 |
Slowing down to some 11 miles an hour. |
| 02:56:33 |
The shooters across Dealey Plaza tighten, |
| 02:56:39 |
Waiting for the radio to say, |
| 02:56:43 |
Or, "Abort! Abort! " |
| 02:56:52 |
The first shot rings out. |
| 02:56:54 |
Sounding like a backfire, |
| 02:56:58 |
Frame 161, Kennedy stops waving |
| 02:57:02 |
Connally's head turns slightly to the right. |
| 02:57:05 |
Frame 193, the second shot hits Kennedy |
| 02:57:09 |
Frame 225, Kennedy emerges |
| 02:57:13 |
He's been hit, raising his hands |
| 02:57:17 |
The third shot, frame 232... |
| 02:57:19 |
...hits Kennedy in the back, |
| 02:57:23 |
Connally, you will notice, |
| 02:57:27 |
He is holding his Stetson, which is |
| 02:57:31 |
Connally is turning now. |
| 02:57:33 |
Frame 238. The fourth shot. |
| 02:57:35 |
It misses Kennedy and takes Connally |
| 02:57:39 |
This is the shot that proves |
| 02:57:42 |
Connally yells, "My God! |
| 02:57:46 |
Around this time, |
| 02:57:49 |
...striking James Teague by the underpass. |
| 02:57:53 |
The car brakes. |
| 02:57:54 |
The sixth and fatal shot. |
| 02:57:56 |
Frame 313, takes Kennedy in the head |
| 02:58:01 |
This is the key shot. |
| 02:58:03 |
The President going back and to his left... |
| 02:58:07 |
...shot from the front and right. |
| 02:58:10 |
Totally inconsistent with the shot |
| 02:58:13 |
Again. |
| 02:58:18 |
Back, and to the left. |
| 02:58:22 |
Back, and to the left. |
| 02:58:25 |
Back, and to the left. |
| 02:58:29 |
So what happens then? |
| 02:58:33 |
Pandemonium. |
| 02:58:37 |
Let's go! We got him! |
| 02:58:45 |
The shooters quickly disassemble their |
| 02:59:01 |
Patrolman Smith rushes to the parking lot |
| 02:59:05 |
He smells gunpowder. |
| 02:59:06 |
He produced credentials showing him |
| 02:59:11 |
Let's see your ID. |
| 02:59:15 |
I accepted that and let him go. |
| 02:59:18 |
I regretted it. He looked like a mechanic. |
| 02:59:22 |
He had on a sports shirt and pants, |
| 02:59:28 |
Afterward, it didn't ring true. |
| 02:59:31 |
...we were so pressed for time. |
| 02:59:34 |
All Secret Servicemen |
| 02:59:38 |
None were on foot in Dealey Plaza |
| 02:59:41 |
...till the Dallas Secret Service chief |
| 02:59:46 |
The Dallas police took at least 12 people |
| 02:59:51 |
No record of their arrest. |
| 02:59:52 |
Men acting like hoboes |
| 02:59:56 |
...marched through Dealey Plaza, |
| 02:59:59 |
Yet there's no record of their arrest. |
| 03:00:01 |
Men identifying themselves |
| 03:00:06 |
But who was impersonating them? |
| 03:00:08 |
Where was Oswald? |
| 03:00:11 |
Around 12:15, leaving the building |
| 03:00:15 |
...Carolyn Arnold sees Oswald |
| 03:00:18 |
...where he said he went for a Coke. |
| 03:00:21 |
He was in a booth on the right side |
| 03:00:25 |
He was by himself as usual, |
| 03:00:29 |
I didn't speak to him, |
| 03:00:32 |
At the same time, Bonnie Ray Williams is |
| 03:00:37 |
He's there until 12:15, maybe 12:20. |
| 03:00:41 |
He sees nobody. |
| 03:00:43 |
Arnold Rowlands, on the street, looks up, |
| 03:00:48 |
...presumably after Williams |
| 03:00:52 |
John Powell, a prisoner on the sixth floor |
| 03:00:56 |
Many of us saw them. |
| 03:00:57 |
Everyone was hollering and yelling. |
| 03:01:02 |
If Oswald was the assassin, he was |
| 03:01:07 |
Later, he told police he was |
| 03:01:11 |
Probably told to wait there |
| 03:01:16 |
But the phone call never came. |
| 03:01:18 |
Maximum 90 seconds |
| 03:01:21 |
...Patrolman Marrion Baker sees Oswald |
| 03:01:27 |
Is this man an employee? |
| 03:01:28 |
Yes. The President's been shot. |
| 03:01:31 |
The Commission would have us believe... |
| 03:01:33 |
...that after firing three bolt-action shots |
| 03:01:37 |
...Oswald then leaves three cartridges |
| 03:01:42 |
...wipes fingerprints off the rifle, |
| 03:01:48 |
...sprints down five flights of stairs... |
| 03:01:50 |
...past Victoria Adams and Sandra Styles |
| 03:01:54 |
...then shows up, cool and calm, on the |
| 03:02:00 |
All this within a maximum of 90 seconds |
| 03:02:04 |
Is this man an employee? |
| 03:02:06 |
Yes. The President's been shot. |
| 03:02:09 |
Is he out of breath? |
| 03:02:11 |
According to Baker, absolutely not. |
| 03:02:14 |
Assuming he is the sole assassin, |
| 03:02:19 |
The longer he delays, the more chance |
| 03:02:24 |
Is he guilty? Does he walk |
| 03:02:30 |
He buys a Coke... |
| 03:02:32 |
...and at a slow pace, spotted by Mrs. Reid |
| 03:02:36 |
...he strolls out |
| 03:02:39 |
...where cops have gathered. |
| 03:02:41 |
Odd, since three shots were fired |
| 03:02:44 |
...nobody seals the Depository |
| 03:02:47 |
Oswald slips out, |
| 03:02:51 |
When he realized something had gone |
| 03:02:55 |
...he knew there was a problem. |
| 03:03:00 |
An intuition, maybe. The President killed |
| 03:03:04 |
The phone call that never came. |
| 03:03:06 |
Perhaps fear now came to Oswald |
| 03:03:11 |
Oswald returns to his rooming house |
| 03:03:14 |
...a half hour after the assassination. |
| 03:03:17 |
A man shot the President! |
| 03:03:19 |
He puts on his jacket, |
| 03:03:22 |
...and leaves at 1:04. |
| 03:03:24 |
Earlene Roberts, the housekeeper, |
| 03:03:28 |
Two uniformed cops pulled up |
| 03:03:31 |
Like it was a signal. |
| 03:03:34 |
Officer Tippit is shot between 1:10 |
| 03:03:38 |
And though no one saw him walking... |
| 03:03:41 |
...the government says |
| 03:03:44 |
Giving the government the benefit |
| 03:03:47 |
...Oswald would've had to jog a mile |
| 03:03:50 |
...then commit the murder, |
| 03:03:53 |
...and walk three-fifths of a mile |
| 03:03:56 |
...and arrive sometime before 1:30. |
| 03:04:04 |
It's also a useful conclusion. |
| 03:04:06 |
After all, why would Oswald |
| 03:04:08 |
...unless he just shot the President |
| 03:04:12 |
Domingo Benevides... |
| 03:04:16 |
...the closest witness to the shooting... |
| 03:04:18 |
...refused to identify Oswald as the killer |
| 03:04:23 |
Acquilla Clemons... |
| 03:04:24 |
...saw the killer and another man |
| 03:04:28 |
Mrs. Clemons was never taken to a lineup |
| 03:04:32 |
At the scene, Officer Poe marks |
| 03:04:37 |
...to record the chain of evidence. |
| 03:04:39 |
Those initials are not |
| 03:04:42 |
...which the Warren Commission show him. |
| 03:04:45 |
As early as 12:44, only 14 minutes |
| 03:04:50 |
...the police put out a description |
| 03:04:54 |
Oswald is next seen by a shoe salesman, |
| 03:05:00 |
Oswald is scared. He begins to realize |
| 03:05:05 |
He goes to the Texas Theater, |
| 03:05:09 |
Though he has $14 in his pocket, |
| 03:05:14 |
Brewer has the cashier call the police. |
| 03:05:16 |
In response to that call... |
| 03:05:19 |
...at least 30 officers in patrol cars |
| 03:05:23 |
This is the most remarkable example |
| 03:05:27 |
...since the Reichstag fire. |
| 03:05:30 |
I don't buy it! |
| 03:05:31 |
They knew. Someone knew |
| 03:05:36 |
Brewer leads the cops into the theater... |
| 03:05:39 |
...and from the stage, points Oswald out. |
| 03:05:41 |
There he is. |
| 03:05:54 |
Sir, can I get you to stand up? |
| 03:06:03 |
I am not resisting arrest! |
| 03:06:07 |
They have their man. |
| 03:06:10 |
It's already been decided in Washington. |
| 03:06:13 |
When he is brought from the theater... |
| 03:06:16 |
...a crowd is waiting to scream at him. |
| 03:06:19 |
Lee Oswald must have felt like Joseph K. |
| 03:06:23 |
He's never given reasons for his arrest. |
| 03:06:25 |
He doesn't know the unseen forces |
| 03:06:29 |
At police headquarters, he was booked |
| 03:06:33 |
No legal counsel was provided. |
| 03:06:34 |
No record made of the questioning. |
| 03:06:37 |
When the sun rises the next morning... |
| 03:06:40 |
...he is booked for murdering the President. |
| 03:06:42 |
The whole country, fueled by the media, |
| 03:06:47 |
Under the guise of a patriotic club owner... |
| 03:06:49 |
...out to spare Jackie Kennedy |
| 03:06:53 |
...Jack Ruby is let into a garage... |
| 03:06:56 |
...by one of his inside men |
| 03:07:00 |
Oswald is brought out |
| 03:07:04 |
...and nicely disposed of as an enemy |
| 03:07:26 |
Who grieves for Lee Harvey Oswald... |
| 03:07:28 |
...buried in a cheap grave |
| 03:07:32 |
Nobody. |
| 03:07:41 |
False statements and press leaks |
| 03:07:47 |
The official legend is created |

The glitter of official lies |

| 03:08:16 |
In later years, Bobby Kennedy, |
| 03:08:19 |
...men whose commitment |
| 03:08:22 |
...made them dangerous to men |
| 03:08:26 |
...also killed by such lonely, crazed men. |
| 03:08:30 |
Men who remove all guilt by making |
| 03:08:35 |
We've all become Hamlets in our country, |
| 03:08:40 |
...whose killers still possess the throne. |
| 03:08:43 |
The ghost of John F. Kennedy confronts us |
| 03:08:47 |
...at the heart of the American Dream. |
| 03:08:49 |
He forces on us the appalling questions: |
| 03:08:54 |
What are our lives worth? |
| 03:08:57 |
What is the future of a democracy... |
| 03:08:59 |
...where a President can be assassinated |
| 03:09:03 |
...while the machinery of legal action |
| 03:09:07 |
How many more political murders |
| 03:09:11 |
...suicides, cancers, drug overdoses? |
| 03:09:14 |
How many plane and car crashes |
| 03:09:17 |
...before they are exposed |
| 03:09:21 |
"Treason doth never prosper," |
| 03:09:25 |

"For if it prosper, |

Why? |

The American public has yet to see |

Why? |
| 03:09:42 |
Hundreds of documents could help prove |
| 03:09:45 |
Why are they being withheld |
| 03:09:49 |
When my office or you, the people, asked |
| 03:09:54 |
...the answer from on high |
| 03:09:59 |
What kind of national security do we have |
| 03:10:04 |
What national security |
| 03:10:06 |
...of fundamental power from the people... |
| 03:10:09 |
...and validates the ascendancy |
| 03:10:14 |
That kind of national security is... |
| 03:10:16 |
...when it smells like it, feels like it, |
| 03:10:20 |
...you call it what it is: |
| 03:10:23 |
Fascism! |
| 03:10:26 |
I submit to you that what took place |
| 03:10:31 |
...was a coup d'etat. |
| 03:10:34 |
Its most direct and tragic result... |
| 03:10:36 |
...was the reversal of Kennedy's decision |
| 03:10:41 |
The war is the biggest business |
| 03:10:44 |
...worth $80 billion a year. |
| 03:10:47 |
President Kennedy was murdered |
| 03:10:50 |
...planned at the highest levels |
| 03:10:53 |
...carried out by fanatical |
| 03:10:57 |
...in the Pentagon and CIA's |
| 03:11:01 |
Among them, Clay Shaw, here before you. |
| 03:11:04 |
It was a public execution, |
| 03:11:07 |
...like-minded people |
| 03:11:10 |
...the Secret Service, the FBl, |
| 03:11:14 |
...up to and including J. Edgar Hoover, |
| 03:11:18 |
...who were accomplices after the fact. |
| 03:11:21 |
The assassination reduced the President |
| 03:11:26 |
His job is to speak as often as possible |
| 03:11:32 |
...while he acts as a business agent |
| 03:11:35 |
...for the military and their contractors. |
| 03:11:39 |
Some people say I'm crazy. |
| 03:11:43 |
Southern caricature seeking higher office. |
| 03:11:48 |
There's a simple way to determine |
| 03:11:51 |
Ask the two men who profited most |
| 03:11:54 |
...former President Johnson |
| 03:11:58 |
...to release the 51 CIA documents |
| 03:12:04 |
Or the secret CIA memo... |
| 03:12:06 |
...on Oswald's activities in Russia that |
| 03:12:10 |
These documents are yours. |
| 03:12:13 |
The people's property. You pay for it. |
| 03:12:16 |
But as the government sees you |
| 03:12:18 |
...who might be too disturbed |
| 03:12:22 |
...or because you might lynch |
| 03:12:26 |
...you cannot see these documents |
| 03:12:30 |
I'm in my 40s... |
| 03:12:33 |
...so I'll have "shuffled off |
| 03:12:36 |
But I'm telling my eight-year-old son |
| 03:12:41 |
...so that one glorious September morning, |
| 03:12:45 |
...he can go to the National Archives |
| 03:12:52 |
They may push it back then. |
| 03:12:54 |
It may become a generational affair. |
| 03:12:59 |
But someday, somewhere, |
| 03:13:04 |
We better. |
| 03:13:06 |
Or we might just as well build ourselves |
| 03:13:10 |
...like the Declaration of Independence |
| 03:13:15 |
Just a bit farther out West. |

I'd hate to be in your shoes today. |
| 03:13:31 |
You have a lot to think about. You've seen |
| 03:13:37 |
Going back to when we were children... |
| 03:13:40 |
...I think most of us in this courtroom |
| 03:13:46 |
That virtue was its own reward. |
| 03:13:48 |
That good triumphs over evil. |
| 03:13:51 |
But as we get older |
| 03:13:55 |
Individual human beings have to create |
| 03:14:00 |
...because the truth often poses a threat |
| 03:14:04 |
...and one often has to fight power |
| 03:14:08 |
People like S.M. Holland... |
| 03:14:10 |
...Lee Bowers... |
| 03:14:12 |
...Jean Hill, Willie O'Keefe... |
| 03:14:14 |
...have all taken that risk |
| 03:14:17 |
I have here some $8,000 in these letters... |
| 03:14:21 |
...sent from all over the country. |
| 03:14:24 |
Quarters, dimes, dollars from housewives... |
| 03:14:27 |
...plumbers, car salesmen, |
| 03:14:31 |
These are people who cannot afford |
| 03:14:36 |
People who drive cabs... |
| 03:14:38 |
...who nurse in hospitals... |
| 03:14:40 |
...who see their kids go to Vietnam. |
| 03:14:44 |
Why? |
| 03:14:46 |
Because they care. |
| 03:14:49 |
Because they want to know the truth. |
| 03:14:51 |
Because they want their country back. |
| 03:14:54 |
Because it still belongs to us... |
| 03:14:56 |
...as long as the people have the guts |
| 03:15:02 |
The truth is the most important value |
| 03:15:08 |
...if the government murders truth... |
| 03:15:10 |
...if we cannot respect these people... |
| 03:15:12 |
...then this is not the country I was |
