An American Affair

00:01:07 Together we shall save our planet
00:01:10 or together we shall die in flames.
00:02:29 First comes love,
00:02:31 then comes marriage,
00:02:38 They always look like they're having more fun.
00:02:40 Everyone has more fun.
00:02:41 Obviously they have more fun than we do.
00:02:43 Have you seen Patricia?
00:02:45 They are huge!
00:02:47 She says she's gonna let me touch them.
00:02:48 Bullshit...
00:02:49 She said! She did! For a dollar.
00:02:52 To you? She said that to you?
00:02:55 Not exactly, not to me.
00:02:57 Thought so.
00:03:00 Carl said you were faggot.
00:03:02 So?
00:03:04 So - he said you were fag.
00:03:05 Well, what are you gonna do?
00:03:08 Nothing.
00:03:10 You can't do nothing.
00:03:15 Some friend you are...
00:03:17 - Come on, fag!
00:03:19 Let's see what you got.
00:03:23 Fight, fight!
00:03:51 That's for setting me up.
00:04:11 What... are you... doing?
00:04:14 Nothing sister.
00:04:18 God smiles on remorseful Mr Stafford,
00:04:20 not the impenitent.
00:04:54 Gentlemen, it's five o'clock.
00:04:57 Detention is over.
00:05:03 In the eyes of God all sinners
00:05:07 Yes, sister.
00:05:09 My eyes see differently.
00:05:12 Yes, sister.
00:05:20 - Jimmy, I...
00:05:21 I didn't mean...
00:05:23 You're an asshole...
00:06:13 Mom? Dad?
00:08:16 Son? You in there?
00:08:19 Yeah, I'm here.
00:08:21 You... working hard in there?
00:08:23 Leave him alone, Mike.
00:08:24 Poor son...
00:08:26 He'll go blind... grow hair on his palms...
00:08:29 Mike, he's 13...
00:08:42 Hey, guys.
00:08:53 Roger, have you seen Patricia this morning?
00:08:55 She's very beautiful.
00:09:07 Mike?
00:09:09 Could you hurry up?
00:09:10 What's the rush? King
00:09:12 I want a good seat.
00:10:38 The Richmond Museum of Modern Art.
00:10:48 Your presence is
00:10:49 for an evening's entertainment.
00:10:51 John Fitzgerald Kennedy.
00:11:02 To see what I have seen
00:11:06 Use with care.
00:11:08 George.
00:11:13 Catherine Caswell
00:11:18 Catherine.
00:11:41 Can I help you with something?
00:11:45 Yeah, I uh, I live across the street.
00:11:50 Yes?
00:11:53 I was wondering if you need
00:11:56 any work done. You know in the garden,
00:11:59 around the house.
00:12:01 I'm trying to earn some money.
00:12:02 For what?
00:12:04 A trip. To Europe.
00:12:06 With my class.
00:12:07 That sounds very adventurous.
00:12:09 Adam.
00:12:18 Are you coming in?
00:12:30 What can you do?
00:12:34 Around the house.
00:12:36 Oh. Cleaning, fits...
00:12:39 And you want me to pay you for that?
00:12:41 For my trip...
00:12:42 To Europe?
00:12:47 You know him? President Kennedy?
00:12:51 We've met...
00:12:52 My mom shook hands with him once,
00:12:58 She said it made her feeling she was naked.
00:13:00 You father mustn't have liked that too much.
00:13:03 My dad said he stole the election
00:13:05 by being a pretty boy on a television.
00:13:07 What do you think?
00:13:09 I don't know, I didn't see it.
00:13:31 I need my garden landscaped.
00:13:33 Can you do that?
00:13:35 Sure.
00:13:36 Have you ever do it before? Worked in a garden?
00:13:41 Then I'm not gonna pay you very much, am I?
00:13:43 I'm a fast learner.
00:13:44 I bet you are.
00:13:47 Come back tomorrow.
00:13:51 Right.
00:13:52 Tomorrow.
00:14:05 Made her feel like she was naked...
00:14:10 Shit.
00:14:24 Adam, dinner.
00:14:26 Alright!
00:14:27 Now, Adam, now.
00:14:29 I said I'm coming.
00:14:31 Just not while you're in the bathroom, right?
00:14:42 Adam.
00:14:47 Adam.
00:14:48 I said I'd be right there.
00:15:00 - Hey, Faith.
00:15:02 Hi, Patricia.
00:15:03 Dipshit.
00:15:04 Fuck off, Carl.
00:15:06 Right... fuck off.
00:15:15 I was just wondering if... you know
00:15:18 you'd want to come by my house sometime after school...
00:15:21 And do what?
00:15:22 I don't know.
00:15:24 Talk, listen to some records...
00:15:28 Yeah, I'd like that.
00:15:31 Great, so...
00:15:32 Mr Stafford, is there a faintest possible reason
00:15:37 you might have for not being where you're supposed to be?
00:15:40 No, sister.
00:15:42 I thought not.
00:16:00 It's me, Adam... from next door.
00:16:04 - Your garden?
00:16:07 I'm going to be your gardener...
00:16:18 Who painted these?
00:16:21 I did.
00:16:25 Do you like them?
00:16:27 I think so, but... they're just colors, right?
00:16:31 You know, aren't they supposed to mean anything?
00:16:33 Color is color.
00:16:36 What do they mean?
00:16:38 Whatever you want them to.
00:16:40 Things are what we make of them.
00:16:43 - Form is dead.
00:16:46 Form is dead.
00:16:47 Have you ever seen a man in building?
00:16:50 Broken windows, cracked doors and walls?
00:16:52 Sure.
00:16:54 From the moment that building was built
00:16:56 it started to fall apart,
00:16:58 just depends on how you choose to look at it.
00:17:02 Form is dead.
00:17:05 I like that.
00:17:11 Looks pretty good to me.
00:17:17 I want you to rip it all up.
00:17:21 All of it?
00:17:22 Everything.
00:17:24 Just scoop it up and throw it all away.
00:17:28 I want dirt, a new beginning,
00:17:30 nothing boxed or restrained.
00:17:33 Rip it all up, we'll start all over again.
00:17:36 Form is dead, right?
00:17:38 Exactly.
00:18:09 That might help.
00:18:13 You look... beautiful.
00:18:17 I bet you say that to all the girls.
00:18:21 No.
00:18:23 Finish up that tree then head on home.
00:18:30 The Cubans are never gonna forgive
00:18:33 Well is not like it really matters.
00:18:35 We'll have communists living
00:18:39 God, Castro laughs at us.
00:18:41 Laughs at us.
00:18:42 Well, you look like you've been digging to China.
00:18:46 Where've you been?
00:18:47 Working in the garden.
00:18:49 What garden?
00:18:51 Mrs. Caswell.
00:18:53 Who?
00:18:55 Mrs. Caswell.
00:18:56 She moved in across the street.
00:18:58 Catherine Caswell?
00:19:00 M- hm.
00:19:02 Why won't you have a seat, bud?
00:19:11 Catherine Caswell.
00:19:15 Yeah, I like her.
00:19:16 She's a very special lady.
00:19:18 She is the one who has seen and done a lot of things.
00:19:23 Too many things.
00:19:24 She has had a very hard life,
00:19:26 she is... very emotional...
00:19:30 and maybe she's not the best person
00:19:33 for you to working for after school.
00:19:35 Why not?
00:19:36 Well, it isn't easy to explain.
00:19:41 She's different than we are, Adam.
00:19:44 She just doesn't care about the same things.
00:19:48 She doesn't care about her own son, for God's sake.
00:19:50 Addie.
00:19:51 She has a son?
00:19:52 Had a son.
00:19:55 What happened?
00:19:56 It doesn't matter what happened.
00:19:57 What matters is that you stay away from her.
00:20:02 You said...
00:20:03 You said to get a job, to earn some money, you said...
00:20:06 Fine, get a job, just not with her...
00:20:08 Okay, Adam, working for her
00:20:11 Mike!
00:20:12 Just don't linger, okay?
00:20:14 Do what she asks, then come home.
00:20:19 Okay, buddy?
00:20:21 Okay.
00:20:24 What'd you do at school today?
00:20:26 Nothing.
00:20:29 Great.
00:20:32 All free men, where ever they may live
00:20:36 are citizens of Berlin,
00:20:39 and therefore
00:20:42 I take pride in the words:
00:21:01 There are many people in the world
00:21:05 that really don't understand... or say they don't
00:21:10 what is the difference between the free world
00:21:15 and the communist world.
00:21:18 Let them come to Berlin.
00:22:06 John Fitzgerald Kennedy.
00:22:47 What?
00:22:48 So you and the president really are friends.
00:22:54 Of course we are.
00:22:56 We met at school.
00:23:00 What's that supposed to mean?
00:23:03 I was looking out my window last night and...
00:23:05 And saw nothing.
00:23:07 You saaw absolutely nothing.
00:23:09 Okay, sorry...
00:23:17 There are some things, Adam, that are private.
00:23:21 And they should stay that way.
00:23:23 Like your son?
00:23:32 Who told you about my son?
00:23:33 My parents.
00:23:35 Your parents...
00:23:38 Oh my God...
00:23:40 If you had a son, then you must
00:23:45 Ex husband.
00:23:47 What's he like?
00:23:50 He's gone, that's what he's like.
00:23:56 He was a, a little boy.
00:24:01 Just like you.
00:24:02 I'm not a little boy.
00:24:04 No, I don't suppose you are.
00:24:14 Where are you going?
00:24:15 Like if that's any of your business.
00:25:33 He won't talk to anyone
00:25:37 Jack won't talk about it.
00:25:39 He says it's over and done with.
00:25:41 Perhaps you need to convince him
00:25:42 that the conversation must remain open.
00:25:47 - He said that Bobby said...
00:25:50 Bobby.
00:26:11 Air support.
00:26:12 That's what it was:
00:26:17 Well it's always easy to second guess desicion once it's been made.
00:26:22 Especially when it's the wrong decision.
00:26:24 We are talking about the man who stood in front of the wall
00:26:26 and mispronounced "Berliner".
00:26:30 Ich bin ein Berliner:
00:26:36 My God, can we talk about
00:26:38 It's Washington.
00:26:39 What else is there to talk about?
00:26:40 Life maybe?
00:26:43 Life? There is life outside politics?
00:26:46 There is nothing outside politics.
00:27:23 Catherine Caswell.
00:27:25 You should've seen him.
00:27:28 Like he was in the Bay of Pigs.
00:27:31 The Boy Pigs.
00:27:38 Form is dead.
00:27:56 Hey.
00:27:59 We're going to your house, right?
00:28:01 Yeah, great.
00:28:04 Hey, guys.
00:28:07 Magda's gonna come with us.
00:28:08 That's okay, isn't it?
00:28:10 Sure.
00:28:12 - I guess...
00:28:28 Cool house.
00:28:30 What do your parents do?
00:28:32 They're writers.
00:28:35 My mom's a writer...
00:28:36 cook books.
00:28:38 Cool.
00:28:41 You guys just pretend I'm not here.
00:28:52 I'm not here.
00:29:01 What was that?
00:29:02 It's kissing, you stupid.
00:29:07 I went to France once.
00:29:09 So you should know how to do this.
00:29:11 Of course.
00:29:21 What... is that?
00:29:28 It's uh... my tooth.
00:29:31 That is completely disgusting...
00:29:35 I've gotta go.
00:29:38 My mom's gonna pick me up.
00:29:41 Yeah, we better.
00:29:47 Call me when you have it fixed.
00:29:58 You broke a tooth and
00:30:01 I glued it back in.
00:30:02 You glued it?
00:30:03 I thought it would be okay.
00:30:05 This isn't a baby tooth, Adam.
00:30:08 I know that.
00:30:09 Then why didn't you tell us?
00:30:13 I don't know.
00:30:14 What is wrong with you?
00:30:15 Nothing is wrong with me.
00:30:17 What is that supposed to mean?
00:30:20 Every day you come home dirty
00:30:22 after working in that woman's garden.
00:30:23 - You spent all the time alone in your room...
00:30:24 - You spent all the time alone in your room...
00:30:25 - Because you...
00:30:28 It's your tooth,
00:30:29 My tooth!
00:30:38 What was that?
00:30:39 I have no idea.
00:30:44 Well... we'll call the dentist
00:31:45 Society girls and Washington wives.
00:31:52 Nero feels...
00:31:58 Who the fuck are you?
00:32:03 It isn't safe to ignore people
00:32:08 You didn't answer my question.
00:32:11 Oh, you like to sneak around,
00:32:14 You like to watch?
00:32:17 You like to sneak around and watch?
00:32:19 How about I put you in jail?
00:32:21 Let other people watch you for a while.
00:32:24 You can't put me in jail.
00:32:27 Oh no?
00:32:29 You're not a cop.
00:32:30 What makes you say that?
00:32:32 You're drunk.
00:32:35 Drunks come in all shapes and sizes, kid.
00:32:38 Come on.
00:32:50 So this is what a journey to higher consciousness looks like?
00:32:54 Hello, Graham.
00:32:57 Pathetic...
00:32:59 Look at you.
00:33:02 I found this peeping tom outside.
00:33:06 - Hi, Adam.
00:33:09 Oh. You know him...
00:33:12 He's doing some work for me...
00:33:16 In the garden...
00:33:19 Looks like Vietnam. Post napalm.
00:33:22 Don't you like it?
00:33:25 No.
00:33:26 Good.
00:33:27 I think I'm gonna go.
00:33:29 Why?
00:33:32 It's nice to have a man around the house.
00:33:36 What the fuck are you laughing at?
00:33:39 What!
00:33:44 Go upstairs.
00:34:02 What happened to you?
00:34:05 Where did you go?
00:34:09 I'm right here, Graham,
00:34:12 just like always.
00:34:15 You made a promise to me...
00:34:17 and Harris.
00:34:21 You said you'd take care of us,
00:34:23 even after he...
00:34:31 We could have had another kid.
00:34:33 We were still a family.
00:34:40 People see you...
00:34:45 It's not as if it's a secret
00:34:46 Going in and out of the White House.
00:34:48 They see you, Catherine.
00:34:49 Why do you care?
00:34:51 - You're my wife.
00:34:52 Was your wife.
00:34:57 Everyone knows...
00:34:59 and they laugh about it.
00:35:01 And you know why?
00:35:03 Cause you're not the only one,
00:35:05 He's got a string of women
00:35:09 Every last one of them.
00:35:12 You can't hurt me anymore, Graham.
00:35:15 Not you, not your government,
00:35:19 your precious agents.
00:35:23 None of it can touch me.
00:35:29 He was my son too...
00:35:33 Was he?
00:37:00 Tough day at the office?
00:37:02 I got Cubans running around south
00:37:04 just looking to shoot someone.
00:37:08 Well I told you the anticomunism brigade won't work.
00:37:12 They all want back in on their own terms.
00:37:14 Almost like a marriage gone bad, wouldn't you say?
00:37:21 Almost...
00:37:25 You trained her very well.
00:37:27 She was an Agency wife.
00:37:29 Is she going to be a liability?
00:37:36 She writes everything down.
00:37:39 She always has, in a diary.
00:37:42 I would've thought you'd've broken that sort of a habit.
00:37:45 You try break it, we'll see how far you get.
00:37:51 Mr Del Valle, how are you?
00:37:54 Every morning when I wake up
00:37:59 Laughing and laughing behind his cojiba.
00:38:01 It's not funny though, is it?
00:38:03 Much like that playboy Kennedy, he laughs at us too.
00:38:06 You know Mr. Caswell, of course?
00:38:08 Yes, of course.
00:38:10 We must act
00:39:59 Bay of Pigs.
00:40:00 Oh boy...
00:40:05 What do those secret service agents think when
00:40:07 they're waiting outside while
00:40:11 He doesn't trust Lucian,
00:40:13 It's only Bobby now.
00:40:18 You should have seen your face in light, Charlie.
00:40:20 I was to worried about your hands...
00:40:23 You're in a hurry.
00:40:25 Things to see, places to go.
00:40:27 People too.
00:40:28 Exactly.
00:40:32 Look at you...
00:40:35 I didn't invite you over to look.
00:41:17 So soon?
00:41:19 Helene is making dinner, quail or something.
00:41:21 I promised I'll be there.
00:41:22 Give her my love.
00:41:25 She read that Huxley book you suggested.
00:41:27 Didn't like it.
00:41:28 No surprises there.
00:41:38 I could leave her, you know?
00:41:40 For me?
00:41:44 Don't bother...
00:41:46 My quail needs work.
00:41:55 Have a nice dinner!
00:42:07 You left your book there on the floor, dead giveaway.
00:42:23 I'm um, I'm sorry...
00:42:27 There's no rain, so I'll just go home.
00:42:32 Sit down.
00:42:40 Never be ashamed being excited, Adam.
00:42:45 Just don't do it again.
00:42:47 I won't.
00:42:53 I saw your husband today.
00:42:54 How exciting for you.
00:42:56 He was with another guy, in a dirty suit.
00:42:59 They were talking about you.
00:43:01 They met somebody,
00:43:05 "Del" something.
00:43:06 Del Valle? Was that his name?
00:43:09 Yeah, that's him.
00:43:12 Who is he?
00:43:13 He's a Cuban.
00:43:17 Some people think he's a patriot,
00:43:19 other think he's a criminal.
00:43:21 I guess that'd depend on your point of view.
00:43:23 That's right.
00:43:25 That's exactly right.
00:43:27 You need to go now.
00:43:29 See you tomorrow.
00:43:32 Adam, if you see my husband again,
00:43:37 go in the other direction.
00:43:58 Oval Office.
00:43:59 This is Catherine Caswell.
00:44:02 One moment, please.
00:44:05 I'm sorry, Ms. Caswell,
00:44:08 I'll wait.
00:44:09 It may take some time.
00:44:11 It's important.
00:44:12 Well I believe he will be on the phone longer than you are willing to wait.
00:44:15 May I take a message?
00:44:17 No. No, no message.
00:44:23 Just boast...
00:44:26 Don't fuck this up, Jack.
00:44:27 This was the night when Cuban prisoners
00:44:29 finally came back from the Bay of Pigs.
00:44:32 They flew into Miami after 20 months of captivity
00:44:35 Finally freed by Fidel Castro
00:44:38 for a ransom of $ 53 million
00:44:42 How will these returning prisoners be absorbed
00:44:44 into the restless Cuban-American community?
00:44:48 Adam,
00:44:49 hurry up, he'll here be any minute.
00:44:59 Doofus.
00:45:07 Walter's driving you.
00:45:08 - Walter?
00:45:11 We'll be home late so just, get yourself to bed
00:45:15 And if anyone, and I mean anyone
00:45:17 is drinking at this party, I want you out of there.
00:45:20 Have Jason call his father.
00:45:22 Ok, mom.
00:45:23 And don't think I won't find about it mister
00:45:25 because I will. Clear?
00:45:27 Clear.
00:45:30 Bye, Dad.
00:45:33 Bye, son.
00:45:37 Adam...
00:45:39 Have fun!
00:45:46 Jimmy, cut the shit.
00:45:47 What?
00:45:48 Too scared to play.
00:45:50 Am not.
00:45:51 Shut up and sit down.
00:45:53 Ready?
00:46:00 Adam, see that you get ready.
00:46:01 Adam...
00:46:03 Here we go...
00:46:09 Damn it, Jimmy.
00:46:10 What?
00:46:11 Such a boy.
00:46:15 Faith, one minute.
00:46:17 60 long seconds.
00:46:20 Adam and Faith.
00:46:28 And Adam Faith.
00:46:30 60, 59, 58, 57, 56...
00:46:37 French, right?
00:46:39 Right.
00:46:48 You got your tooth fixed.
00:46:50 - Yeah.
00:46:58 Adam.
00:47:10 Faith.
00:47:17 Adam Stafford's an asshole.
00:48:08 Are you okay?
00:48:09 I'm planting.
00:48:12 I thought you said we had to wait till after the rain?
00:48:16 After, during, whatever.
00:48:20 You must be cold.
00:48:26 You have no idea...
00:48:30 Why is the music so loud?
00:48:32 I was painting.
00:48:34 I can hear it from across the street.
00:48:39 Want one?
00:48:41 Sure.
00:48:59 You should go home.
00:49:02 I wanna paint with you.
00:49:09 So let's paint.
00:49:48 What do you think?
00:49:59 Not bad.
00:50:07 Not bad...
00:50:16 Form is dead.
00:50:18 That's right.
00:51:46 I think I'm done.
00:52:33 Texas? For Thanksgiving?
00:52:35 I have to go.
00:52:38 If I don't go, then I'm not gonna get a raise.
00:52:41 You know they like it when you're out there...
00:52:42 ...doing things, I know Mike.
00:52:44 It's just...
00:52:52 Adam is...
00:52:57 I can't do it alone.
00:53:00 And Texas... I mean Dallas is a shithole.
00:53:03 It'll just be for a few days.
00:53:09 And I will try to make it home for the Thanksgiving supper.
00:53:17 Well. I'm gonna go wake him up.
00:53:19 He sleeps like the dead these days.
00:53:20 It's hormones. Probably slumming through the roof
00:53:22 at their party last night.
00:53:28 Adam, time to get...
00:53:31 Mike.
00:53:38 Look at this.
00:53:41 Hi, Dad.
00:53:43 What, am I supposed to do about this?
00:53:50 It's not that big of a deal, Mom.
00:53:52 You have paint all over you!
00:53:57 In the shower, right now!
00:53:59 Do not come out until every speck of paint is gone.
00:54:01 And then we'll discuss cleaning your room.
00:54:05 Okay, mom.
00:54:06 Now!
00:54:28 It's that woman,
00:54:30 This has got to stop Mike.
00:54:33 Alright, I'll talk to her this afternoon.
00:54:35 You will talk to her now. Right now.
00:54:38 - Addie...
00:54:39 Alright, just let me go finish the...
00:54:41 Now!
00:54:55 Hello.
00:54:56 I'm uh...
00:54:59 Mike Stafford,
00:55:00 I quite enjoyed your last piece on Dr. King.
00:55:04 Though... you didn't exactly seem symphatetic, did you?
00:55:09 Carver, Lucian Carver.
00:55:14 The Lucian Carver?
00:55:16 Fame is fleeting,
00:55:17 But in Washington we take what we can get.
00:55:21 Won't you come in?
00:55:23 Please.
00:55:24 A little early for company, isn't it, Lucian?
00:55:28 Best behaviour, my dear.
00:55:30 This is your neighbor,
00:55:33 Drink?
00:55:34 It's a little early...
00:55:37 Should you have a drink,
00:55:39 It's my house, Michael.
00:55:41 Have a drink.
00:55:46 Vodka.
00:55:48 Rocks.
00:56:05 Jesus, Lucian,
00:56:06 Just give him a drink.
00:56:09 How's a boy?
00:56:10 Boy?
00:56:14 Your son, Adam.
00:56:17 How is he?
00:56:18 Uh, he's fine.
00:56:21 He's great. The usual.
00:56:23 Good! Good.
00:56:27 That's what we all work for, isn't it?
00:56:30 The children.
00:56:31 The future.
00:56:34 I suppose so.
00:56:36 How was your childhood, Lucian?
00:56:38 Somehow I don't see you laughing
00:56:46 It was fine.
00:56:47 Great.
00:56:49 The usual.
00:56:53 Mike,
00:56:54 is this a social visit or did you actually want something?
00:56:58 No... uh, yes, actually
00:57:01 Addie, my wife, she worries
00:57:06 but she worries about how much time he's been spending over here
00:57:09 and he's starting to neglect his school work.
00:57:12 And the thing with the... the paint this morning...
00:57:17 If your wife wants him to
00:57:20 consider it done.
00:57:22 Simple as that?
00:57:23 Simple as that.
00:57:25 It sure was a pleasure to meet you, Mike.
00:57:26 I'll be looking forward to you next piece.
00:57:30 Yes, great.
00:57:32 Thanks.
00:57:36 Have fun in Texas!
00:57:39 Nice to meet you both.
00:57:47 You don't have to scare him.
00:57:48 I suppose not.
00:57:51 But you enjoyed it.
00:57:54 There are some perks that come with the job
00:57:57 That I do admit.
00:57:59 Scaring people?
00:58:01 Forcing them to do things they don't wanna do?
00:58:04 Sometimes what seems like
00:58:07 is actually the best.
00:58:13 There's nothing I can do, Lucian.
00:58:15 Catherine, your friend Jack
00:58:20 won't in fact talk to anyone inside the agency.
00:58:23 You're our only connection
00:58:26 He's made it abundantly clear:
00:58:29 no talking,
00:58:32 no fucking,
00:58:34 no nothing.
00:58:36 - I need to warn you.
00:58:39 The situation is very fluid.
00:58:41 If he refuses to deal with Cuba,
00:58:43 then Cuba is going to deal with him.
00:58:46 What's that supposed to mean?
00:58:48 There is pressure on me too...
00:58:53 He could be in danger.
00:58:55 He's the president,
00:58:57 He's a man and men make mistakes
00:59:00 which they have to own up to. And correct them.
00:59:03 Things have to change,
00:59:06 or else things will really change.
00:59:10 It's all a game of chess isn't it?
00:59:13 Playing out the pawns in you head.
00:59:18 Should I sacrifice the rook? Or the king?
00:59:24 Will you sacrifice me?
00:59:27 Catherine, I'm your son's godfather.
00:59:30 My son is dead.
00:59:33 Where does that leave you?
00:59:34 He was a lovely boy.
00:59:35 - Graham was...
01:00:27 This is Catherine Caswell.
01:00:32 No, no message.
01:00:36 Carver. Lucian Carver.
01:00:38 He knew what I've been writing, he knew I'm going to Texas.
01:00:41 He's with the C.I.A.?
01:00:42 Yeah, he's with C.I.A. the way that Stalin
01:00:45 He is the C.I.A.: special ops,
01:00:48 What is uh, what's for breakfast?
01:00:50 Sit your ass down.
01:00:51 - Dad, I...
01:00:56 Okay, number one,
01:00:59 with that Caswell woman, none,
01:01:02 - Dad...
01:01:04 - Why?
01:01:06 And number three,
01:01:07 your mother's gonna be working from home
01:01:09 and you're gonna be at school or you're gonna be here
01:01:11 nowhere elsewhere,
01:01:12 What happened?
01:01:14 School, here
01:01:16 Clear?
01:01:19 Clear.
01:01:23 Eggs ok?
01:01:26 Eggs it is.
01:02:50 May I help you, madam?
01:02:51 Catherine Caswell.
01:02:52 Yes, madam.
01:02:58 I'm sorry, Mrs. Caswell.
01:03:00 The personal list,
01:03:02 I'm sorry, Mrs. Caswell,
01:03:04 it doesn't appear to be there anymore.
01:03:10 Would you take a bullet?
01:03:11 Madam?
01:03:13 For the president.
01:03:14 Would you take a bullet?
01:03:16 I'm a soldier, madam.
01:03:18 Just following orders?
01:03:22 Yes, madam.
01:04:17 Fuck do you want?
01:04:20 Nothing, my ball.
01:04:23 Got your ball, right?
01:04:25 Yes.
01:05:39 because there was fear in Dallas...
01:05:44 that there might be a demonstration
01:05:47 that will embarass the president,
01:05:49 because it was only on October 24
01:05:52 that our Ambassador to the United Nations
01:05:53 Adlai Stevenson,
01:05:57 leaving a dinner meeting there.
01:06:02 From Dallas, Texas
01:06:05 President Kennedy died
01:06:07 at 1:00 p. m.
01:06:11 2:00 eastern standard time,
01:06:15 Killed...
01:06:19 They killed him...
01:06:21 Vice President Johnson
01:06:26 we do not know to where he has proceeded.
01:06:29 presumably he will be taking the Oval Office shortly
01:06:33 and become the 36th
01:06:43 President Kennedy at the Dulles airport this morning
01:06:46 where cheering waving..
01:08:12 Stop.
01:08:14 Bugs...
01:08:16 You're gonna hurt them.
01:08:23 November 22,
01:08:31 Police have been looking for a white man,
01:08:34 approximately 30 years of age
01:08:36 135 pounds, slender built.
01:08:40 It seems that this man
01:08:41 with 30-30 rifle.
01:08:46 It's not my fault.
01:09:31 Adam.
01:09:35 Don't touch me.
01:09:36 I'm sorry...
01:09:39 Get out.
01:09:40 - Catherine, I...
01:09:41 Get out, you little shit.
01:10:02 Mom?
01:10:08 It's alright.
01:10:09 Everything's gonna be fine.
01:10:43 How bad was it?
01:10:45 Well when he came around the corner,
01:10:48 wind was blowing, people were talking
01:10:50 laughing, waiting,
01:10:54 Then his head snapped back
01:10:56 then forward
01:10:58 Jackie climbed over the trunk like she's looking for something
01:11:01 and the cars drove away.
01:11:03 - God...
01:11:05 But you've just got here 10 minutes ago.
01:11:07 Oswald hired a lawyer.
01:11:11 It must have been horrible.
01:11:12 Yeah, it was.
01:11:16 At least it's over.
01:11:19 Thank God for small favors.
01:11:23 I'll us, see you buddy.
01:11:41 Oh, hello.
01:11:43 I just... I was wondering if I might come in for a moment.
01:11:47 No, I don't think so.
01:11:50 I just wanted to make sure
01:11:54 He's fine.
01:11:57 I think he has something of mine.
01:11:59 Well I'll make sure that I ask him.
01:12:01 Okay.
01:12:09 Upstairs.
01:12:10 - I just want...
01:12:28 Oh, I have to agree with you.
01:12:30 Fuck the glass,
01:12:32 Just leave me alone.
01:12:37 I just wanted to check on you,
01:12:40 make sure you're okay.
01:12:43 Where did you find Ruby?
01:12:45 He a friend of Del Valle's?
01:12:50 Friend of yours?
01:12:54 It's a little more complicated than that.
01:12:56 Complicated?
01:12:58 He's the president
01:13:00 Was...
01:13:06 When I married you...
01:13:10 you were the most idealistic man
01:13:15 The man who's gonna change the world.
01:13:19 You've changed the world alright...
01:13:22 You lost every ideal you ever had...
01:13:24 Times are different.
01:13:25 Times are the same
01:13:28 you are different.
01:13:30 I didn't lose my ideals,
01:13:36 I've lost you.
01:13:45 He wouldn't listen... not to anybody.
01:13:54 I need the diary, Catherine.
01:13:59 Need a little deniability, Graham?
01:14:02 Point A leads to point B
01:14:05 leads to finger on the trigger?
01:14:08 Just leave me alone.
01:14:12 I am a ex...
01:14:13 Ex wife,
01:14:16 Ex mother,
01:14:18 Ex lover.
01:14:20 - If you don't give it to me...
01:14:23 I'll break every rule in your little book.
01:14:27 I'll talk about you and Lucian
01:14:32 Who put your fingers on that trigger?
01:14:34 Lee Harvey Oswald
01:14:36 with his finger on the trigger.
01:14:38 Leave me alone and it will stay that way.
01:14:44 Besides, I burned it.
01:14:47 It's not like you.
01:14:49 You got diaries going back to the third grade.
01:14:52 What is like me, Graham?
01:14:56 What am I like?
01:15:08 - Harris was...
01:15:17 It wasn't your fault...
01:15:23 I... I've lost you.
01:15:28 And I want you back.
01:15:33 We could go away...
01:15:37 start over, just the two of us,
01:15:41 I think I'd like that.
01:15:44 But you must give Lucian the diary.
01:15:47 I told you I burned it...
01:15:51 Talk to him, tell him,
01:15:55 and then we'll go whereever you want.
01:16:00 I'll think about it.
01:16:02 Do...
01:16:14 Do that...
01:16:48 I'm leaving.
01:16:51 I fully expect never to see you again
01:16:53 and I hope that the feeling is mutual.
01:16:54 Where are you going?
01:16:55 I'll be gone.
01:16:57 You won't have to worry about me anymore, agreed?
01:17:00 The diary poses a problem.
01:17:02 You can't shut up everyone, Lucian.
01:17:05 I don't have to, just the people who will talk.
01:17:11 The diary is in a safe place.
01:17:14 Leave me alone
01:17:20 I just love a good mystery.
01:17:21 I mean it, Lucian.
01:17:23 I wonder where it could be,
01:17:25 No doubt, the safe place.
01:17:27 And who knows...
01:17:31 you might even give it someone.
01:17:32 The safest place, the place I would never think to look.
01:17:37 I wonder where that could be.
01:17:39 Who that could be.
01:17:44 You wouldn't...
01:17:45 Catherine, I would do anything I had to
01:18:03 And to bring the point home
01:18:06 he stood before that horrible wall
01:18:08 and declared to the world:
01:18:16 We are all...
01:18:17 Jelly dougnuts.
01:18:21 Excuse me?
01:18:22 "Berliner", he pronounced it wrong.
01:18:25 He said we're all jelly dougnuts.
01:18:28 Is that a joke?
01:18:30 No, sister.
01:18:31 Stand up.
01:18:34 Come here.
01:18:40 Hold out your hand.
01:18:44 John F. Kennedy
01:18:47 that this country will ever know.
01:18:50 A Catholic
01:18:52 a man with a vision for the future.
01:18:55 I will not tolerate jokes at his expense.
01:18:58 I wasn't trying...
01:18:59 A great man has been taken from us.
01:19:02 Now go... and you pray.
01:19:05 Pray hard.
01:19:27 Adam.
01:19:35 What are you doing here?
01:19:37 I told them I was your aunt.
01:19:49 I need it back.
01:19:52 What?
01:19:53 What do you think?
01:19:57 I'm sorry I...
01:19:58 Don't be sorry,
01:20:02 It's at home.
01:20:05 Bring it to me then.
01:20:08 After school, meet me at the steps at 3:30. Okay?
01:20:17 I'm going away for a little while.
01:20:20 Where?
01:20:22 I don't know.
01:20:24 India, maybe.
01:20:26 Some place exotic and foreign,
01:20:30 where I can't understand the language.
01:20:34 Why?
01:20:36 Because I can't...
01:20:42 Life is about meaning.
01:20:44 You know, finding things in life that have meaning.
01:20:50 Children, art...
01:20:54 love.
01:20:56 Well I don't have anything of that anymore.
01:20:59 You have me.
01:21:01 I know I do.
01:21:03 But sometimes, one person
01:21:07 You put all your desires and your dreams into them and then...
01:21:11 ...they're gone.
01:21:18 If I was older...
01:21:20 Then you wouldn't be you.
01:21:24 Hope...
01:21:27 It's something that gets lost as you get older...
01:21:31 I need to find it again.
01:21:37 Is that some sort of life lesson or something?
01:21:43 Something like that.
01:21:55 3:30, the steps.
01:22:24 Graham, it's me.
01:22:26 I'll have it this afternoon.
01:22:31 Graham, I'm happy we're going away.
01:23:05 You're home early.
01:23:08 So are you.
01:23:10 Is everything okay, buddy?
01:23:12 Why was he here?
01:23:14 Who?
01:23:16 The trenchcoat.
01:23:18 Well he's uh an old friend of your mom's and mine and he uh...
01:23:38 Where is it?
01:23:40 There are some things that don't make sense when you're a kid.
01:23:42 She wants it back.
01:23:44 I'm sure that she does.
01:23:45 I said I'll give it back.
01:23:46 When you're older you... you'll understand.
01:23:48 I am older, I do understand.
01:23:51 Adam.
01:23:52 You told me the truth when it suits you.
01:23:54 You lie to me for my own good?
01:23:56 Catherine has never lied to me,
01:23:59 I'm sorry, Adam.
01:24:02 You are my father...
01:24:04 You're supposed to do the right thing... for me.
01:24:10 I did.
01:24:12 Adam...
01:24:24 That's mine.
01:24:26 Actually... it's not.
01:24:27 It's not yours either.
01:24:31 You're absolutely right.
01:24:40 Adam.
01:24:45 Catherine's had a full life.
01:24:47 Art, love, intrigue...
01:24:52 Sometimes, with a life like that
01:24:55 it starts to get confusing.
01:24:58 Catherine was confused.
01:25:01 The diary said that.
01:25:07 Where is she?
01:25:13 Isn't she waiting for you?
01:27:09 Bobby said you were a fag.
01:27:12 Good for him.
01:27:13 He said that you offered
01:27:16 So?
01:27:20 So what are you're gonna do about it?
01:27:29 He said you were gonna suck...
01:27:31 You're the fag!
01:27:32 - Asshole!
01:27:34 Pussy!
