Killing Of John Lennon The
|
00:00:50 |
[man] There was no emotion |
00:00:52 |
There was no anger. |
00:00:55 |
It was dead silence in my brain. |
00:00:59 |
Dead, cold quiet. |
00:01:01 |
He looked at me, |
00:01:05 |
and then I heard my head. |
00:01:07 |
It said, |
00:01:10 |
over and over again. |
00:01:47 |
[gunshot] |
00:02:00 |
[man] The "Catcher in the Rye" |
00:02:03 |
Chapter 27. |
00:02:06 |
[gunshot] |
00:02:34 |
My whole life |
00:02:38 |
I can see that now. |
00:02:40 |
There's never been |
00:02:55 |
You never find your identity |
00:03:15 |
[air horns blare / people cheer] |
00:03:19 |
[Reagan] They say the United States |
00:03:23 |
that our nation |
00:03:25 |
They expect you |
00:03:28 |
that the American people no longer |
00:03:33 |
that the future will be one |
00:03:38 |
My fellow citizens, |
00:03:42 |
[cheering] |
00:04:33 |
- Hey, man, you're late. |
00:04:37 |
The boss called. Arthur's ill. |
00:04:40 |
You're kidding. |
00:04:43 |
I know. |
00:04:46 |
[man on TV] ...will get things |
00:04:49 |
What's going on over there? |
00:04:53 |
Someone jammed gum in the locks. |
00:04:56 |
- Animals. |
00:04:58 |
[woman on TV] ...election day. |
00:05:00 |
Before going to the polls, |
00:05:04 |
- Have you called in? |
00:05:06 |
Voters will have an opportunity |
00:05:08 |
to see and hear the major-party |
00:05:14 |
state their views |
00:05:18 |
[man on TV] The candidates will debate |
00:05:22 |
foreign-policy |
00:05:25 |
The questions are going to be posed |
00:05:27 |
by a panel of distinguished journalists |
00:05:30 |
- [phone rings] |
00:05:36 |
[phone continues to ring] |
00:05:43 |
Yes, hello? |
00:05:45 |
Hello? |
00:05:47 |
[man] Bang, bang. |
00:05:50 |
Hello? |
00:06:14 |
[man] 12 hours of work |
00:06:18 |
The days go on and on, |
00:06:21 |
and they don't end. |
00:06:24 |
My body fights me always. |
00:06:27 |
It won't sleep, it won't eat. |
00:06:34 |
The headaches are getting worse. |
00:06:59 |
Thank you. |
00:07:01 |
Hey. Mark. |
00:07:06 |
- Hey. |
00:07:09 |
Well, it's very nice |
00:07:13 |
- Everything OK over here? |
00:07:16 |
This is Makana. |
00:07:19 |
- I'm her son. |
00:07:23 |
Oh, don't listen to him. |
00:07:25 |
I was never much of a mother to him. We |
00:07:31 |
Mind you, where we come from, |
00:07:34 |
- Makana's gonna take me surfing. |
00:07:39 |
[mother] Bye. |
00:07:44 |
[Mark] My mother |
00:07:47 |
right out of "The Glass Menagerie". |
00:07:50 |
She was afraid of getting old and said |
00:07:55 |
She felt romantic |
00:07:58 |
but remote from my father. |
00:08:03 |
I don't think |
00:08:06 |
He never told me he loved me |
00:08:10 |
My mother always said |
00:08:14 |
couldn't show |
00:08:21 |
One time, he pushed my head |
00:08:28 |
Sometimes I fantasised about |
00:08:37 |
She said she only married him |
00:09:06 |
Normal kids don't grow up |
00:09:28 |
All my life needed |
00:09:33 |
I don't believe you should devote your life |
00:09:37 |
I believe that one should |
00:09:49 |
I was starting to hate people. |
00:09:52 |
The slightest rebuff or rejection |
00:10:20 |
[phone rings] |
00:10:30 |
Bang, bang. |
00:10:34 |
Bang, bang. |
00:10:36 |
You're dead. |
00:10:57 |
I began withdrawing |
00:11:59 |
I was losing |
00:12:36 |
You know, |
00:12:40 |
I just don't know |
00:12:44 |
If I can keep up with everything. |
00:12:48 |
Everything. You know? |
00:12:50 |
You, Mom, my job. |
00:12:53 |
I can't come down. |
00:12:57 |
I feel like a victim right now, OK? I just |
00:13:02 |
Over our world - |
00:13:05 |
I need you to understand. |
00:13:07 |
- Yes. |
00:13:34 |
- We know it's you. |
00:13:41 |
- If you persist in... |
00:13:43 |
If you persist in harassing us, |
00:13:47 |
What do you think this is? |
00:13:50 |
then screw their savings and force them |
00:13:54 |
- This is your last warning. |
00:13:57 |
- Correct. |
00:14:00 |
To destroy or enslave another soul. |
00:14:02 |
If you persist, we'll call the police |
00:14:07 |
I'm sure you don't want to |

Castle Memorial |
00:14:14 |
June 21, 1977. |
00:14:19 |
A science-fiction writer |
00:14:22 |
You're not a religion. |
00:14:44 |
My life was either happiness |
00:14:48 |
I had no stable sense |
00:14:52 |
I felt I was nothing, |
00:14:54 |
a nobody. |
00:15:09 |
I took refuge in public places. |
00:15:13 |
I loved the library. |
00:15:15 |
I loved the smell of books. |
00:15:18 |
All that learning - |
00:15:20 |
it's the essence |
00:15:34 |
Miss Blakeslee taught me |
00:15:37 |
Thurber, Ogden Nash. |
00:15:40 |
Once a month, she brought us in |
00:15:45 |
I volunteered as an assistant. |
00:15:50 |
Things you like as a child |
00:15:58 |
I was searching for |
00:16:03 |
and, for my sins, |
00:16:14 |
I hadn't read it since I was 16. |
00:16:17 |
Now it burned in my hand. |
00:16:20 |
It was like a current |
00:16:22 |
and lighting up |
00:16:26 |
Here was something |
00:16:28 |
an unphoney way of life. |
00:16:31 |
And the more I read, |
00:16:36 |
I was actually becoming its hero, |
00:16:39 |
Holden Caulfield. |
00:16:52 |
I started reading "The Catcher in the Rye". |
00:16:56 |
And then I read it again. |
00:16:59 |
And I held it between my hands and put it |
00:17:03 |
[echoing] I read it again, drinking in |
00:17:08 |
..against my face... |
00:17:11 |
..drinking in the aroma |
00:17:16 |
..through my nostrils and my skin. |
00:17:20 |
an unphoney a way of life, |
00:17:28 |
I remember |
00:17:30 |
It's ripped and torn. There is a tornado |
00:17:36 |
Bits and pieces |
00:17:39 |
A debris. |
00:17:43 |
things I can 't see. |
00:17:47 |
[thunder crashes] |
00:18:02 |
- Well? |
00:18:05 |
This is one of the most brilliant |
00:18:08 |
[woman] He sounds a mess to me. |
00:18:12 |
Of course he's a mess. |
00:18:15 |
He tries to express what he feels. |
00:18:18 |
He's a human being, |
00:18:21 |
- I don't like the way he talks. |
00:18:25 |
I suppose it's very clever, |
00:18:29 |
Gloria, I gave you the book because |
00:18:33 |
With me. |
00:18:35 |
He doesn't fit anywhere, |
00:18:38 |
- Don't you even read books? |
00:18:40 |
No, not magazines and travel brochures |
00:18:45 |
real books |
00:18:48 |
Yes, I do, actually. And who says |
00:18:52 |
Well, Japan... |
00:18:54 |
That's... You need to understand The |
00:18:59 |
If you understand Holden... |
00:19:08 |
Real books. I'm talking about |
00:19:12 |
- things that people read. |
00:19:16 |
[Mark] Don't you even feel sorry for him? |
00:19:18 |
I was identifying with a 16-year-old boy |
00:19:22 |
and here I am, a 25-year-old man in Hawaii |
00:19:28 |
- Hi. |
00:19:30 |
I'm Holden Caulfield. |
00:19:33 |
- Hi. Take a deep breath. |
00:19:38 |
OK. It's all right. It's OK. |
00:19:41 |
[Mark] It was a statement. |
00:19:43 |
"Here is my identity. " |
00:19:45 |
"Here is where my pain is. " |
00:19:49 |
[children laugh and play] |
00:19:59 |
"l keep picturing all these little kids |
00:20:02 |
in this big field of rye and all. " |
00:20:05 |
"Thousands of little kids, |
00:20:07 |
and nobody's around - |
00:20:12 |
"And I'm standing |
00:20:15 |
"What I have to do, |
00:20:18 |
if they start to go over the cliff - I mean |
00:20:23 |
I have to come out from somewhere |
00:20:26 |
"That's all I'll do all day. " |
00:20:29 |
"I'd just stand there |
00:20:32 |
"l know it's crazy, but that's |
00:20:37 |
"l know it's crazy. " |
00:20:41 |
Chapter 22. |
00:20:44 |
Page 173. |
00:21:00 |
Then I found another book. |
00:21:02 |
Just as Holden Caulfield |
00:21:06 |
John Lennon |
00:21:13 |
There was John Lennon |
00:21:17 |
He was on Liberty lsland, |
00:21:20 |
He was at the base of the Statue of Liberty |
00:21:24 |
with the scarf around his neck, |
00:21:26 |
having his photograph taken. |
00:21:28 |
I looked at the pictures |
00:21:30 |
on the gabled roof |
00:21:39 |
Those photographs of him on the roof |
00:21:42 |
and they took on |
00:21:45 |
And at some point, |
00:21:49 |
I became enraged at him. |
00:21:56 |
Something inside me just broke. |
00:21:59 |
The great John Lennon, |
00:22:01 |
who'd told us to imagine no possessions, |
00:22:07 |
and yachts and farms |
00:22:10 |
Iaughing at people like me |
00:22:13 |
and bought all the records. |
00:22:15 |
It reeked of phoneyness. |
00:22:19 |
Confirmation. |
00:22:25 |
As soon as I saw that picture, |
00:22:27 |
I knew I was going to kill him. |
00:22:42 |
It was like |
00:22:44 |
A solution. |
00:22:46 |
For the first time in years, |
00:22:51 |
It's what Holden |
00:22:54 |
killing the big fat guy |
00:22:57 |
the pimp, the phoney. |
00:23:07 |
- All done for the morning, sir? |
00:23:09 |
- Yeah? Pretty rough night? |
00:23:12 |
[man] Yeah? |
00:23:15 |
Yeah. |
00:23:22 |
Well, you have yourself |
00:23:25 |
- You too. |
00:23:38 |
[Mark] I'd found my identity, |
00:23:42 |
Mark! |
00:23:45 |
Mark! Mark! |
00:24:09 |
[Mark] I'd sit up all night |
00:24:12 |
speeding them up, |
00:24:14 |
interjecting my own words. |
00:24:17 |
I would strip naked, |
00:24:20 |
and summoning the devil |
00:24:25 |
I was sending out telegrams |
00:24:28 |
"Give me the opportunity |
00:24:39 |
I'm 25 years old. |
00:24:41 |
My decision |
00:24:44 |
You're going to abandon |
00:24:47 |
and go thousands of miles away, |
00:24:51 |
- It's always about you. |
00:24:54 |
You're the one |
00:24:57 |
and now you're gonna go away |
00:25:01 |
Gloria is not under your care and Gloria |
00:25:07 |
So you take care of you |
00:25:10 |
and I'll be back |
00:25:13 |
- I'm not buying it. |
00:25:16 |
I know when you are lying to me. |
00:25:20 |
why you feel the need |
00:25:23 |
I want you to tell it to me |
00:25:30 |
[laughs] |
00:25:34 |
[clears throat] |
00:25:36 |
My decision |
00:25:39 |
- I don't understand the whole thing. I... |
00:25:43 |
OK? I am just doing |
00:25:47 |
You don't need to understand |
00:26:11 |
"The phoney must die", |
00:26:14 |
"The phoney must die", |
00:26:35 |
- Can I help? |
00:26:38 |
- OK. Anything in mind? |
00:26:42 |
Well, if you get a.22 and a burglar |
00:26:46 |
Handy little gun, it's fast, |
00:26:50 |
But if you get a.38, |
00:26:53 |
nobody's gonna laugh at you. |
00:26:56 |
A fine, solid gun. |
00:27:00 |
otherwise the same |
00:27:05 |
Now, that will stop anything that moves |
00:27:09 |
it's lightweight, |
00:27:13 |
You know, some of these guns |
00:27:17 |
you can hit somebody over the head |
00:27:22 |
You can't beat quality. |
00:27:25 |
Are you interested in an automatic? |
00:27:31 |
How much? |
00:27:33 |
With specialised grips, |
00:27:36 |
169. |
00:27:40 |
OK. I'll take it. |
00:27:52 |
Hi. I'd like a ticket to New York. |
00:27:54 |
One-way. |
00:27:57 |
So long as you fill out a form and |
00:28:01 |
- And where do I get that form? |
00:28:04 |
But the gun has to be in your luggage. |
00:28:08 |
- And that's it? |
00:28:09 |
- Thank you very much. |
00:28:14 |
[aeroplane engine] |
00:28:35 |
[Mark] There's a smell in New York. |
00:28:38 |
It's a scary smell and a cold smell |
00:28:43 |
frightened of someone |
00:28:47 |
[driver] Gonna be in town long? |
00:28:54 |
You ever been to the city? |
00:29:06 |
Where are you from, bud? |
00:29:15 |
They don't have traffic like this |
00:29:19 |
Have you stopped |
00:29:23 |
It's great this time of the year. |
00:29:28 |
A lot of snow. |
00:29:30 |
[Mark] Take me where the freaks are. |
00:29:34 |
[driver] You are where the freaks are. |
00:29:37 |
New York is all freaks. |
00:29:43 |
This is about as big as a freak section |
00:29:53 |
Have you ever seen |
00:29:55 |
Yeah. He's around. |
00:29:58 |
Seen him in town. |
00:30:00 |
He lives up ahead here. |
00:30:04 |
Matter of fact, |
00:30:06 |
Oh, yeah. |
00:30:08 |
Right up... That's right. |
00:30:11 |
It's right up near 72nd. |
00:30:15 |
He's kind of a phoney, isn't he? |
00:30:19 |
That all depends. |
00:30:23 |
On what? |
00:30:25 |
On his music |
00:30:32 |
Maybe a little of both. |
00:30:35 |
I guess you could say that. |
00:30:40 |
You don't like music? |
00:30:45 |
I did once. |
00:30:48 |
What happened? |
00:30:51 |
I found something else. |
00:30:54 |
Yeah, that happens, you know? |
00:31:25 |
- How much did you say it was? |
00:31:27 |
- Here's 20. |
00:31:39 |
[Mark] I checked into |
00:31:43 |
Just like Holden. |
00:32:55 |
I was like a boxer |
00:32:59 |
all bloody and beaten. |
00:33:21 |
[police radio echoing] |
00:33:53 |
[Mark] It's what Holden |
00:33:56 |
killing the big fat guy |
00:33:59 |
the pimp, the phoney. |
00:34:11 |
[gunshot] |
00:34:15 |
[cameras click] |
00:34:17 |
[newsreader] ...tonight, live. |
00:34:19 |
If you've been |
00:34:22 |
you already know |
00:34:26 |
Something's |
00:34:29 |
You're gonna hear about me. |
00:34:32 |
Are you, uh... |
00:34:35 |
Oh, no, no. |
00:34:37 |
I just want you to be aware |
00:34:40 |
Here, turn left here, at 72nd. |
00:34:44 |
- John Lennon lives right there. |
00:34:48 |
You can just pull over right up here, |
00:34:51 |
- OK. |
00:35:14 |
OK, let's see. Uh... |
00:35:21 |
$7.80. |
00:35:23 |
You got it, sir. |
00:35:27 |
That's fine. Listen, |
00:35:30 |
- You too. It was a pleasure meeting you. |
00:35:35 |
All right. |
00:35:40 |
Strange guy. |
00:36:08 |
- Thi... this is the Dakota, right? |
00:36:12 |
- Where John Lennon lives? |
00:36:14 |
Wow. I can't believe I'm really standing |
00:36:20 |
Sixth floor, right? Robert Ryan's |
00:36:23 |
Not from here. |
00:36:27 |
Rosemary's Baby was shot here, |
00:36:30 |
I don't know. |
00:36:33 |
So is, uh... |
00:36:36 |
I don't know, man. |
00:36:39 |
I think he's travelling |
00:36:43 |
I'm from Hawaii. |
00:36:45 |
Really? That's a pretty strong accent |
00:37:00 |
[Mark] I cased the whole building, |
00:37:03 |
walked all the way around it twice, |
00:37:06 |
just like an assassin would. |
00:37:31 |
[aeroplane engine] |
00:37:41 |
[Lennon] When we first moved here, |
00:37:45 |
which is the arty-farty section of town, |
00:37:49 |
where all the students and the would-bes |
00:37:54 |
She told me, "Yes, |
00:37:57 |
and it took me two years to unwind. |
00:38:00 |
[Mark] Shooting a man |
00:38:04 |
It takes a lot of inner strength. |
00:38:08 |
[Lennon] I can go right out this door now |
00:38:12 |
You want to know |
00:38:15 |
Or go to the movies. I mean, people |
00:38:20 |
but they won't bug you, |
00:38:36 |
[man] Don't forget what the Beatles have |
00:38:41 |
to any one of our 14 pick-up points |
00:38:44 |
and turn 'em in this week |
00:38:50 |
[Mark] I'd found my identity, |
00:38:57 |
"The phoney must die", |
00:39:05 |
"The phoney must die", |
00:39:17 |
"The phoney must die", |

[man] Robert De Niro |
00:39:54 |
Let's hear it for the great Jake La Motta, |
00:40:00 |
[man #1] He was a fighter. |
00:40:02 |
[man #2] Why does he have to make it |
00:40:05 |
[man #1] A winner. |
00:40:08 |
[De Niro] I've done |
00:40:41 |
[man] In this typical town, |
00:40:43 |
in this comfortable home, |
00:40:45 |
three ordinary people |
00:40:47 |
are about to live |
00:40:59 |
[man #2] I used to figure you had |
00:41:05 |
I know that wasn't fair, but you made us |
00:41:09 |
I really admire you for it. |
00:41:11 |
Well, don't admire people too much. |
00:41:14 |
They'll disappoint you sometimes. |
00:41:19 |
I love you. |
00:41:27 |
I love you too. |
00:41:59 |
[Mark] I had an experience |
00:42:02 |
Somehow, in that brief time, my rage |
00:42:07 |
The volcano was capped. |
00:42:13 |
I realised I had a wife at home |
00:42:20 |
Gloria, hi. It's me. |
00:42:24 |
I'm coming home. |
00:42:26 |
I've won a great victory. |
00:42:29 |
Your love has saved me. |
00:42:32 |
I was gonna kill him, |
00:42:37 |
You know what I'm talking about. |
00:42:40 |
Gloria, listen. Just listen. |
00:42:44 |
I was gonna kill... |
00:42:47 |
John Lennon, |
00:42:48 |
but our paths didn't cross. |
00:42:56 |
You don't believe me. |
00:42:58 |
I even got to know the doorman |
00:43:02 |
I could've done it. |
00:43:07 |
I just wanna come back home to you. |
00:43:12 |
I made such a big mistake |
00:43:16 |
But I could've done it. |
00:43:18 |
I really could've done it. |
00:43:26 |
I lied to my wife. |
00:43:29 |
I told her I threw away the gun |
00:43:33 |
I told her it was over. |
00:43:36 |
And it wasn't. |
00:43:47 |
16 days later, I was back. |
00:43:51 |
I told my wife |
00:44:16 |
[man] Heavenly treasures |
00:44:21 |
And so the poor people are also... |
00:44:28 |
No, that's what I'm saying. |
00:44:32 |
That's what the Antichrist said. |
00:44:36 |
[ saxophone] |
00:44:45 |
[toilet flushes] |
00:45:40 |
Hi. You gals |
00:45:43 |
As a matter of fact, |
00:45:45 |
It wasn't worth it. |
00:45:49 |
I'm sorry. |
00:45:52 |
I'm Jude. This is Jeryl. |
00:45:56 |
Oh. |
00:45:58 |
I know. I heard John Lennon lives here. |
00:46:03 |
- Is he around? Have you seen him? |
00:46:08 |
Good. |
00:46:11 |
I'm from Hawaii. |
00:46:13 |
You came all the way from Hawaii |
00:46:15 |
- I'm a big fan. |
00:46:18 |
Well, I'm also here on business. |
00:46:23 |
Well, Jeryl and l |
00:46:26 |
Yeah, so much so |
00:46:29 |
Sometimes they stop us on the street |
00:46:32 |
Wow. |
00:46:35 |
Oh, I should have brought |
00:46:38 |
Oh. Why don't you get |
00:46:41 |
Even if you don't get an autograph, |
00:46:45 |
Yeah, maybe I'll do that. |
00:46:49 |
Uh... OK, we're going to go get something |
00:46:54 |
- I'll be here until at least midnight. |
00:46:58 |
Maybe we can all |
00:47:02 |
- Do you like Japanese? |
00:47:19 |
"He was so nice. |
00:48:46 |
The more I found out, |
00:48:49 |
The guy owned five luxury apartments |
00:48:53 |
four farms in Virginia, Vermont |
00:48:57 |
250 head of prize Holstein cattle |
00:49:00 |
worth more than $100,000 each, |
00:49:04 |
a vast weekend home in Florida, |
00:49:07 |
a 63ft ocean-going yacht. |
00:49:10 |
This from a man |
00:49:37 |
[gunshots] |
00:50:07 |
[men moan] |
00:50:18 |
[moaning gets louder] |
00:50:27 |
[Mark] When I heard the homos next door, |
00:50:33 |
They disgusted me. |
00:50:38 |
Travis was right. One day a real rain 'll |
00:50:49 |
[moaning continues] |
00:51:22 |
[man] Freeze! Police! |
00:51:26 |
[Mark] George C Scott, |
00:51:28 |
Johnny Carson, |
00:51:31 |
Jackie Onassis. |
00:51:35 |
[gunshot] |
00:51:37 |
[Mark] On the streets, |
00:51:41 |
and bums and whores, |
00:51:43 |
I knew Holden was right. |
00:51:46 |
It was all very clear. |
00:51:53 |
Here is a little man |
00:51:56 |
going against a giant phoney. |
00:52:04 |
[voices echo] |
00:52:08 |
[Mark] I wanted to |
00:52:11 |
and I almost did. |
00:52:15 |
But what glory is there |
00:52:21 |
In the book, Holden checked out of |
00:52:27 |
My $16-a-night YMCA |
00:52:31 |
now became room 2374 |
00:52:37 |
Hell to heaven in a cab ride. |
00:52:39 |
[gunshot] |
00:00:05 |
[Mark] I could've killed those queers. |
00:00:07 |
[woman on TV] Yeah, listen, I could use |
00:00:11 |
I could spend the evening with you, if... |
00:00:14 |
if you'd like that. Hm? |
00:00:18 |
Have you ever been with a woman before, |
00:00:21 |
Do you like it? |
00:00:23 |
I mean, I have the feeling that |
00:00:28 |
What turns me on is because |
00:00:33 |
Pleasing. |
00:00:36 |
Do you mind |
00:00:38 |
Well, I think in the confines |
00:00:42 |
of clothing and inhibitions. |
00:00:45 |
Oh, inhibitions are always nice |
00:00:53 |
Hi. I'd Iike an escort |
00:00:59 |
Yes. Someone foreign. |
00:01:01 |
Do you have any foreign women? |
00:01:04 |
Someone exotic. |
00:01:12 |
Good. |
00:01:14 |
But she's gotta be quiet. |
00:01:16 |
If she doesn't talk, |
00:01:21 |
OK? |
00:01:23 |
I'm at the Sheraton Hotel, |
00:01:28 |
Caulfield. |
00:01:30 |
Holden Caulfield. |
00:01:47 |
"l kept walking around the room, |
00:01:52 |
"l kept hoping she'd be good-looking. |
00:01:56 |
"l sort ofjust wanted |
00:02:02 |
"l was starting to feel pretty sexy and all, |
00:02:09 |
"Finally, |
00:02:26 |
Hi. I'm Pia. |
00:02:29 |
Thank you for coming. |
00:02:40 |
You can relax. |
00:02:43 |
I'm clean. |
00:02:47 |
In fact, I'm not even |
00:02:53 |
I just wanna be |
00:03:00 |
I'm expecting that tomorrow |
00:03:07 |
- Would you Iike a drink? |
00:03:12 |
Well, tonight's your night off. |
00:03:23 |
Take your dress off. |
00:03:51 |
Um... turn on the radio. |
00:03:53 |
I think somebody saw me |
00:03:57 |
- I don't want jail. |
00:04:13 |
Would you Iike a massage? |
00:04:15 |
Sure. Why not? |
00:04:23 |
A real man |
00:04:27 |
A real man |
00:04:32 |
He can give. |
00:04:37 |
He can give. |
00:04:45 |
[chatter on TV] |
00:05:15 |
Thank you. |
00:05:52 |
I woke up knowing somehow |
00:05:57 |
that when I left that room, |
00:05:59 |
that would be the last time |
00:07:06 |
I had never seen John Lennon |
00:07:09 |
I only knew |
00:07:13 |
but I somehow knew |
00:07:17 |
This was the day. |
00:07:58 |
I'm Holden Caulfield. |
00:08:02 |
I am Holden Caulfield. |
00:08:06 |
I am Holden Caulfield. |
00:08:19 |
Hello. I'm Holden Caulfield. |
00:08:23 |
I'm Holden Caulfield. |
00:08:45 |
So I laid out on the dresser a tableau of |
00:08:50 |
so it would say, |
00:08:54 |
"This is my past, |
00:09:10 |
I practised what it was gonna look like |
00:09:15 |
It was like going through a door, and |
00:09:20 |
The poet's door. |
00:09:23 |
Jim Morrison's door. |
00:09:26 |
It was like |
00:09:30 |
and I was. |
00:09:32 |
I was leaving my past. |
00:09:36 |
My very soul was breathing between |
00:10:16 |
Give me the strength. |
00:10:18 |
Please, |
00:10:22 |
It has to be done. |
00:10:24 |
Please give me the strength. |
00:10:27 |
The phoneys have to know. |
00:10:51 |
- Hey, man. How's it going? |
00:10:54 |
- AII right. Are you staying warm out here? |
00:10:57 |
- Have you seen anybody today? |
00:11:00 |
- No? Been quiet? |
00:11:02 |
- Jose. Hey, man. |
00:11:05 |
- How are you? Hi. I'm Mark. |
00:11:09 |
- How are you? |
00:11:12 |
- So have you guys seen Lennon yet? |
00:11:14 |
- No, we were just talking about that. |
00:11:18 |
- You're a photographer. |
00:11:20 |
- Do you get pictures of him? |
00:11:22 |
- That's great. |
00:11:25 |
So, uh, are you new in town? |
00:11:28 |
Uh... Yeah, I'm on vacation. |
00:11:32 |
I'm from Hawaii. |
00:11:34 |
- Really? |
00:11:36 |
I didn't realise people from Honolulu |
00:11:40 |
- Where are you staying in New York? |
00:11:44 |
Don't walk away. |
00:11:46 |
Easy, man. Take it easy. |
00:11:51 |
You're the one who started it. |
00:11:55 |
AII right? |
00:12:00 |
Sorry. |
00:12:05 |
That was weird. |
00:12:07 |
Yeah. That's New York. |
00:12:14 |
Well, it, uh... |
00:12:15 |
Looks Iike it's down to |
00:12:20 |
Look, I'm sorry |
00:12:23 |
I've been standing out here |
00:12:28 |
You strike up a conversation Iike I'm your |
00:12:35 |
I'm bored |
00:12:37 |
so I try to talk to people |
00:12:41 |
I'm tired, so I guess |
00:12:46 |
I'm sorry, OK? |
00:12:49 |
AII right. |
00:12:53 |
Hey, relax. No one's gonna |
00:13:08 |
- Do you get a Iot of shots of John? |
00:13:11 |
Hey, here he comes. |
00:13:26 |
[Mark] Thanks, John. |
00:13:29 |
- [John] Anything else? |
00:13:32 |
- [John] You're welcome. |
00:14:19 |
Oh, you Iucked out big time. |
00:14:22 |
Big stars don't usually put the date. |
00:14:26 |
You know, |
00:14:29 |
- Did you get any of me? |
00:14:31 |
I'II give you anything |
00:14:35 |
Did I have my hat on |
00:14:37 |
I don't want to be next to John Lennon |
00:14:41 |
- I think it was on. |
00:14:45 |
Listen, is there any way |
00:14:48 |
- I'II give you $50 for it. |
00:14:52 |
OK, meet me here tomorrow |
00:14:57 |
OK. |
00:15:00 |
Jesus! |
00:15:02 |
Wait until they see that picture |
00:15:05 |
You know, me, |
00:15:26 |
That's it. I'm gone. Good Iuck. |
00:15:30 |
I'm staying at the Sheraton. |
00:15:33 |
Like I said, you can't be too careful, |
00:15:37 |
You never know |
00:15:39 |
I'm not from Hawaii. |
00:15:41 |
I grew up just outside Atlanta, |
00:15:45 |
I've travelled around the world, |
00:15:48 |
I probably wouldn't be alive |
00:15:51 |
You wouldn't believe what I went there for. |
00:15:55 |
- I'II be back tomorrow night. |
00:15:58 |
I mean, |
00:16:01 |
Look, you got your autograph from John. |
00:16:05 |
No. I'm gonna get Yoko's. |
00:16:10 |
Hey, you know, why don't I take your |
00:16:14 |
I know about cameras. |
00:16:17 |
I see John all the time. I can get my |
00:16:21 |
Well, suppose you don't see him again? |
00:16:24 |
[engine starts] |
00:18:13 |
Mr Lennon? |
00:18:16 |
[glass smashes / Yoko screams] |
00:18:21 |
[Yoko wails] |
00:18:48 |
[Yoko sobs] |
00:18:50 |
John! |
00:19:00 |
[sirens approach] |
00:19:11 |
- Go! Go! Get out of here! |
00:19:14 |
I don't know. |
00:19:26 |
[Mark] It was like a movie. |
00:19:28 |
It was like I was in a movie. |
00:19:31 |
I got a gun, |
00:19:34 |
I thought he would just drop |
00:19:40 |
I thought he was just gonna fall down, |
00:19:43 |
Fall down dead. |
00:19:45 |
[sirens approach] |
00:20:01 |
[man] Freeze! Police! |
00:20:03 |
Do it! Do it now! |
00:20:07 |
Don't move! |
00:20:12 |
He shot John Lennon! |
00:20:56 |
Come on, man. |
00:20:58 |
Hold on. |
00:21:00 |
Come on, John. |
00:21:03 |
Yeah, yeah, yeah. OK. |
00:21:05 |
Come on. Hold on! Come on. |
00:21:08 |
Come on. |
00:21:09 |
Hang in there. |
00:21:11 |
Come on. Come on! |
00:21:19 |
[Mark] Please, don't hurt me. |
00:21:31 |
I murdered a man, |
00:21:34 |
I took a lot more with me |
00:21:38 |
A whole era ended. |
00:21:45 |
[newsreader] He was brought to |
00:21:51 |
He was dead on arrival. |
00:21:53 |
[cameras click] |
00:21:55 |
[newsreader] ...tonight, live. |
00:21:57 |
If you've been anywhere near a television |
00:22:01 |
you already know |
00:22:05 |
He's not dead. |
00:22:24 |
The suspect at this time is... |
00:22:26 |
First of all, his identity. |
00:22:31 |
He comes from Hawaii. Police tell me he's |
00:22:36 |
and began to hang around the apartment |
00:22:41 |
He apparently ran into him for the |
00:22:46 |
asking Lennon for his autograph. |
00:22:48 |
Lennon gave it to him |
00:22:52 |
Lennon went off |
00:22:55 |
and we are told that Chapman remained |
00:23:00 |
about eleven o'clock this evening. |
00:23:02 |
Police officials |
00:23:05 |
They say that Chapman came up |
00:23:09 |
and emptied a.38 revolver. |
00:23:12 |
There were at least |
00:23:16 |
There is very little known |
00:23:20 |
He has been taken |
00:23:25 |
They're checking for prior arrest records, |
00:23:31 |
They charged him officially with murder, |
00:23:36 |
Have a seat. |
00:23:41 |
OK. Calm down, all right? |
00:23:45 |
I'm going to take off your cuffs, |
00:23:58 |
- State your name. |
00:24:01 |
- Your age. |
00:24:03 |
- Your address. |
00:24:08 |
OK, do me a favour and stand up. |
00:24:15 |
What have we got? |
00:24:20 |
Have a seat, all right? |
00:24:35 |
[Mark] I remember a lot of pain and |
00:24:40 |
I was in a very unreal, |
00:24:43 |
I was in an utter panic |
00:24:46 |
and wanted things to go back to the way |
00:24:52 |
I felt anger spreading over my mind |
00:24:56 |
and talking about |
00:24:58 |
Iike I was being sucked into a giant wave |
00:25:02 |
or even come up for air. |
00:25:08 |
I didn't want to kill anybody, |
00:25:12 |
and I really don't know |
00:25:15 |
I asked God to help me, |
00:25:19 |
but we're all responsible |
00:25:25 |
I came to New York |
00:25:31 |
I stayed at the YMCA |
00:25:47 |
[newsreader] Mourners began gathering |
00:25:51 |
and there are easily now |
00:25:54 |
who've come |
00:25:56 |
At the beginning, it was |
00:26:00 |
[newsreader #2] There were |
00:26:04 |
Lennon's wife, Yoko Ono, |
00:26:07 |
asking the mourners to disperse, |
00:26:10 |
but they are starting to return again, |
00:26:14 |
that are so connected |
00:26:16 |
and some also |
00:26:19 |
The feeling is of tremendous loss, |
00:26:23 |
The profound loss to the music world |
00:26:29 |
Come on, Iook alive. |
00:26:32 |
Get me a vest. |
00:26:36 |
Hold him up, right here. |
00:26:38 |
- Get the vest on him. |
00:26:42 |
Hold your hands up. |
00:26:45 |
I'm not gonna have Jack Ruby kill you |
00:26:49 |
Come on. Secure that. |
00:26:51 |
Listen up. We've got the man |
00:26:54 |
I don't want any Oswalds, |
00:26:57 |
- Give me a coat. |

Hello, Mr Chapman. |
00:34:49 |
How are you? |
00:34:55 |
Have you had |
00:34:59 |
I slept fine. |
00:35:02 |
Good. |
00:35:04 |
Do you know where you are? |

- Mm-hm. Right. |
00:35:11 |
- Why are you here? |
00:35:16 |
[clears throat] |
00:35:18 |
Did you kill John Lennon? |
00:35:21 |
- You oughta know that. |
00:35:28 |
Next question. |
00:35:31 |
Why did you kill John Lennon? |
00:35:36 |
Well, that's tough to answer. |
00:35:38 |
Probably, uh... |
00:35:40 |
a number of different reasons. |
00:35:44 |
- Let's start. I have a Iot of time. |
00:35:47 |
A Iot of questions, |
00:35:50 |
You provide the answers. |
00:35:52 |
I ask the questions. |
00:35:57 |
So give me one reason. |
00:36:02 |
Because I thought |
00:36:04 |
- A phoney? |
00:36:07 |
- Didn't Iike his music, is that it? |
00:36:13 |
You didn't Iike his Iyrics? |
00:36:15 |
Well, I... |
00:36:17 |
I thought I understood his Iyrics, |
00:36:22 |
What's phoney |
00:36:30 |
Have you ever |
00:36:33 |
Killing? |
00:36:37 |
Killing? Yeah. |
00:36:40 |
I have thought about death. |
00:36:43 |
I just killed a man. |
00:36:46 |
Is that killing enough for you? |
00:36:49 |
Do you ever think about suicide or taking |
00:36:56 |
Yeah, I've thought about suicide. |
00:36:59 |
I tried to wipe myself out |
00:37:03 |
- You did? |
00:37:05 |
And what happened? |
00:37:07 |
I couldn't do it. |
00:37:11 |
- You were? |
00:37:13 |
I went up on top |
00:37:16 |
and, uh... |
00:37:19 |
I wanted to blow my brains out. |
00:37:21 |
- Why is that? |
00:37:28 |
It'd be all over the newspapers. |
00:37:33 |
What stopped you? |
00:37:36 |
Picturing myself |
00:37:40 |
The fear. |
00:37:42 |
Fear of physical pain. |
00:37:46 |
I pictured my brains |
00:37:50 |
I thought |
00:37:58 |
Do you have that same picture |
00:38:02 |
Do you think |
00:38:08 |
Well, I'm sure he felt pain. |

I don't know. |

Did he do something |

Why do you think? |
00:38:42 |
I don't know. |

- Have you ever killed anyone? |
00:38:47 |
- Have you ever seen someone dead? |
00:38:51 |
Bullet wounds, blood? |
00:38:53 |
Did you get excited about that? |
00:38:58 |
I'm done talking. |
00:39:12 |
It's conviction you want, is it? |
00:39:18 |
- Or is it fame? |

- You certainly are. |
