Executive Action

en
00:03:50 Never before in American history...
00:03:52 ...has one family held such an enormous
00:03:57 The plan is perfectly plain.
00:03:59 To return and perpetuate this power
00:04:03 Two terms for JFK, two for Bobby
00:04:08 And in each administration,
00:04:12 ...would take over
00:04:16 They have several
00:04:18 ...and some of the best brains
00:04:21 They have put together a powerful
00:04:25 Labor, Negroes, Jews, liberals...
00:04:29 ...and the press.
00:04:31 - that will make him
00:04:34 Wait a minute, professor.
00:04:35 He's appointed Republicans
00:04:38 Another's head of the CIA.
00:04:40 Brother Bobby worked
00:04:44 The old man is farther to the right
00:04:47 Ancient history, Harold.
00:04:50 Man's come out for cuts
00:04:52 He's stopping mergers
00:04:55 He promises to close down 52 domestic
00:05:00 Foster, since when do you believe
00:05:04 - Especially in an election year?
00:05:09 And tactics along with them.
00:05:11 In the next few months,
00:05:16 One, he is going to lead
00:05:19 ...instead of fighting it.
00:05:20 Now we all know what that means.
00:05:22 Damn right, a white backlash.
00:05:26 Blood in the streets.
00:05:28 Two, he's going to try to put across
00:05:33 Three, he's going
00:05:35 ...and turn Asia
00:05:37 Ridiculous, the American public
00:05:40 Come on, Harold.
00:05:42 The American public will stand
00:05:45 What it's told to stand for
00:05:49 Done effectively, the public would soon
00:05:53 Which would make action imperative.
00:05:56 - What kind of action?
00:06:00 I'll take it from here, Bob.
00:06:03 - Let's all go in the other room.
00:06:07 Just a short walk. Do you good.
00:06:15 - Nothing wrong with my heart, James.
00:06:18 Tell me, sir, to what do you ascribe
00:06:21 Hard liquor and soft women.
00:06:24 Southern gentlemen.
00:06:44 This country was not made...
00:06:46 ...by people who sat
00:06:49 ...and followed
00:06:52 Instead, it was made...
00:06:54 ...by the men who recognized
00:06:58 And progress means
00:07:03 That's what makes this a great country.
00:07:28 How are you?
00:07:34 In Europe, heads of state always die
00:07:38 Our presidents are killed by madmen.
00:07:41 The pattern is remarkably consistent.
00:07:45 Abraham Lincoln, April 14th, 1865.
00:07:49 Target: sitting and stationary.
00:07:53 Range: six inches. Successful.
00:07:56 James Garfield, July 2nd, 1881.
00:07:59 Target: walking
00:08:02 Range: three feet. Successful.
00:08:05 William McKinley.
00:08:08 Target: standing and stationary.
00:08:13 Successful.
00:08:15 Theodore Roosevelt,
00:08:18 Target: standing and stationary.
00:08:23 Wounded, survived.
00:08:25 Franklin D. Roosevelt,
00:08:29 Target: sitting and stationary.
00:08:31 Range: 23 feet.
00:08:36 In no case was the killer
00:08:40 In every case,
00:08:45 In every case,
00:08:48 ...willing to die to get the president.
00:08:50 No professional can be expected to
00:08:55 So we've determined that our action
00:08:58 - ... during a motorcade.
00:09:00 Because they're scheduled
00:09:03 They give you a chance
00:09:05 ...and get away in the confusion.
00:09:07 - How do you select your operatives?
00:09:12 Now, you used to have to train
00:09:15 Keep them on your payroll
00:09:18 No more.
00:09:20 Do you know many men were fired
00:09:25 There's a small army
00:09:28 They're all ready. They're all available.
00:09:30 And they can do anything
00:09:32 ...and bugging an embassy
00:09:37 So...
00:09:39 - How many of them do you need?
00:09:43 I've had two teams in the field
00:09:46 - Why two?
00:09:49 The other for backup and getaway.
00:09:51 These are all men
00:09:53 Trained, reliable, professional.
00:09:57 Now, one man firing from long range
00:10:01 Even with two, we found
00:10:04 The only possible scenario
00:10:09 Two firing at a retreating target.
00:10:12 And the third firing
00:10:28 Three misses, three hits.
00:10:31 Take the target back.
00:10:36 Stand by to go again.
00:10:42 Start the target.
00:10:48 Stand by to fire.
00:11:02 Fire.
00:11:12 While there's a climate of violence
00:11:15 ...in which anything can happen,
00:11:18 ...or even fight it
00:11:21 What about the Secret Service?
00:11:23 They give the president less protection
00:11:27 De Gaulle travels
00:11:30 Kennedy with eight, sometimes 10.
00:11:33 And none between him
00:11:36 When a Soviet motorcade
00:11:39 ...there's a separate agent
00:11:42 Now, in Jack's motorcades...
00:11:44 ...the agents often travel
00:11:47 - They can't see a damn thing.
00:11:52 They only have target practice
00:11:54 And they're often used
00:11:58 And most of their intelligence
00:12:01 Which means they get very little.
00:12:05 And Hoover, he doesn't like Kennedys
00:12:09 The CIA?
00:12:11 After the Bay of Pigs, its director
00:12:15 The mood of the agency
00:12:19 Are you trying to tell me
00:12:22 ...are going to help with this project?
00:12:24 No. James, how many
00:12:28 ...do you have personal knowledge of?
00:12:30 Fifteen. Maybe 17.
00:12:33 And how many private companies
00:12:37 - Private? Maybe three or 400.
00:12:42 What one agency
00:12:44 ...may be very simple for another one
00:12:47 So you see, there aren't nearly as many
00:12:52 I can see how that could happen.
00:12:54 Even after a man leaves
00:12:56 ...he still has ongoing relationships...
00:12:59 ...with the various intelligence outfits
00:13:02 Yes, I can see that too.
00:13:07 It's that ongoing relationship
00:13:11 He receives it because he's trusted.
00:13:15 Yes? Oh, Charlie.
00:13:19 Is that so?
00:13:22 I see.
00:13:24 Yes, of course
00:13:27 - Yeah.
00:13:30 - Quite all right.
00:13:31 Bye.
00:13:33 A conspiracy will make us
00:13:36 We don't have them.
00:13:39 That's what we pay
00:13:42 They'll deny a conspiracy
00:13:45 ...lay the whole thing off...
00:13:46 ...on some crazy damn fool
00:13:50 - Who is the crazy damn fool?
00:13:53 Charlie McCadden
00:13:57 Governor Connally
00:14:00 And they made a private agreement...
00:14:02 ...that he will make a political pilgrimage
00:14:05 Probably in the fall.
00:14:08 There ought to be a better way
00:14:14 Have you researched the man's
00:14:16 - Thoroughly.
00:14:20 Harold, if you'll forgive me...
00:14:23 ...we're way ahead of you.
00:14:25 If we could find some way
00:14:29 ...believe me,
00:14:32 Gentlemen, the hour is getting late.
00:14:35 Well, I'm sorry, gentlemen,
00:14:39 I agree with you
00:14:42 ...is worth any man's life,
00:14:45 My advice,
00:14:52 I'll see you to your car.
00:14:54 Harold.
00:14:57 Harold.
00:14:59 Oh, before I took over
00:15:03 ...my own intelligence men
00:15:08 I understand these things.
00:15:12 They're tolerable
00:15:15 ...and permissible only if they work.
00:15:19 Good day.
00:15:28 I was in charge
00:15:32 The hell.
00:15:34 Arranged it through
00:15:37 My technician on that job
00:15:41 Okay, Lee, take her up.
00:15:48 Okay, Chris, take it up.
00:15:54 Okay, Jess. Take it up to 15 feet.
00:16:01 Hold it. That's good.
00:16:07 Okay, hold it. That's good.
00:16:11 Okay, that's good. Lock it off.
00:16:15 Start the action.
00:16:48 Fire.
00:17:07 I got three hits on target.
00:17:10 One hit on Number 2. A miss.
00:17:12 Seven seconds and two misses.
00:17:15 It's probably a kill,
00:17:18 ...so we'll have
00:17:21 With the most accurate rifle
00:17:23 ...we've still got a two-inch spread
00:17:27 So at 20 miles an hour,
00:17:30 Yeah.
00:17:31 Let's get a beer.
00:17:37 Commencement exercises
00:17:40 ...gained world significance
00:17:43 ...two major decisions
00:17:46 Addressing the graduates...
00:17:48 ...Mr. Kennedy makes a stirring plea
00:17:52 First, Chairman Khrushchev...
00:17:54 ...Prime Minister Macmillan
00:17:57 ...that high-level discussions
00:18:01 ...looking towards early agreement
00:18:09 I now declare that the United States...
00:18:12 ...does not propose to conduct
00:18:17 ...so long as other states
00:18:20 This generation of Americans
00:18:24 More than enough.
00:19:26 Jim, sit down.
00:19:29 - Are you hungry?
00:19:34 How's the team?
00:19:36 Well, it can be done
00:19:38 ...but only if we slow the target down
00:19:42 Otherwise, you take chances.
00:19:44 All right, we'll work on that.
00:19:46 - Any cover problems?
00:19:50 Supposed to be hunters and I take it
00:19:53 Correct.
00:19:56 Here's your expense money.
00:20:01 Say, when you gonna throw
00:20:04 It's not quite a standard operation.
00:20:08 You mean is that each of us
00:20:12 Put it in any words you like.
00:20:15 The company must be running
00:20:18 Two teams only...
00:20:20 ...and there's a good chance
00:20:23 Maybe before Thanksgiving.
00:20:27 How soon will we find out
00:20:30 The probabilities for success
00:20:34 Yeah, like the Bay of Pigs.
00:20:37 You're a high-risk man,
00:20:39 Your men are all experienced
00:20:42 You take your chances
00:20:45 Okay, Jim.
00:20:55 I'll tell you this much.
00:20:59 I've never seen a better cover plan
00:21:02 Every man jack will be
00:21:05 New passports, new identities...
00:21:07 ...plus $25,000 each
00:21:10 I like that. Tell me more.
00:21:13 You'll stay out of the country
00:21:15 You'll receive $25,000 a year
00:21:19 All of us?
00:21:21 I said every man jack
00:21:24 And five years from now,
00:21:28 ...provided no one
00:21:31 ...each man will find $ 100,000...
00:21:33 ...in his own personally numbered
00:21:38 Jesus.
00:21:41 You just told me who we're gonna hit.
00:21:45 This nation was founded by men
00:21:48 Okay.
00:21:51 It was founded on the principle
00:21:54 ...and that the rights
00:21:56 ...when the rights of one man
00:21:59 My fellow Americans,
00:22:03 ...in every city of the North
00:22:06 Today,
00:22:09 ...two or three times as many
00:22:12 Inadequate education,
00:22:16 ...unable to find work,
00:22:19 We cannot say
00:22:22 ...that "You can't have that right.
00:22:23 Your children can't have the chance
00:22:27 The only way that they'll get their rights
00:22:31 I think we owe them and we owe
00:22:36 The computer threw out
00:22:38 Or sponsors, as we like to call them.
00:22:40 A young man named Lee Harvey Oswald
00:22:44 Born in New Orleans, 1939.
00:22:47 Father dead.
00:22:50 Boy was in an orphanage for a while...
00:22:52 ...then shunted about with his mother
00:22:54 You can start now, Tim.
00:22:56 He has remarkably muddled
00:22:59 ...that can be steered
00:23:03 On October 24, 1956,
00:23:08 ...subject enlisted
00:23:11 Attended
00:23:13 ...at Naval Air Station
00:23:16 ...studying basic radar theory,
00:23:19 ...and air-traffic-control procedures.
00:23:22 Began studying Russian language
00:23:26 Fellow Marines called him
00:23:30 In the Marine Corps?
00:23:32 Not a chance.
00:23:34 Preparing a cover for him.
00:23:36 - Naval Intelligence?
00:23:40 Go ahead, Tim.
00:23:43 Arrived in Yokosuka, Japan
00:23:45 ...for assignment at Atsugi,
00:23:49 Isn't that where we monitored
00:23:52 And a lot of other stuff.
00:23:53 Court-martialed on June 27th...
00:23:56 ...for pouring a drink over
00:23:59 ...and use of insulting language.
00:24:01 Confined 28 days at hard labor.
00:24:05 Only 28 days?
00:24:07 Not only giving him a cover,
00:24:10 On August 17, 1959,
00:24:14 ...on the ground
00:24:18 - Discharge was granted September 11.
00:24:22 Easier than you think. Watch this.
00:24:25 To get the discharge,
00:24:29 Otolaryngologist Marvin Danvers
00:24:32 ...saying he started treating
00:24:37 ...even though his letter is dated
00:24:40 Well, I'll be goddamned.
00:24:42 On the same day, September 4...
00:24:45 ...Oswald applied for
00:24:50 Quote, "In order to attend
00:24:56 Passport granted.
00:24:57 Good for European travel,
00:25:01 Arrived in Moscow, October 16.
00:25:05 Ordered to leave U.S.S.R. by 8 p. m.,
00:25:10 - The Russkies weren't buying.
00:25:14 Taken to Botkinskaya Hospital,
00:25:18 Visited U.S. Embassy on October 31.
00:25:21 Stated his determination
00:25:24 ...and turn classified data
00:25:27 Can find no record that embassy
00:25:30 ...from handing over
00:25:32 How much did he actually have?
00:25:34 Location of all bases
00:25:36 ...radio frequencies for all squadrons...
00:25:38 ...all tactical call signs,
00:25:42 ...number and type
00:25:45 ...names of commanding officers...
00:25:47 ...and the authentic code
00:25:50 ...the ADIZ radio and radar ranges.
00:25:52 Jesus.
00:25:54 On January 4, 1960...
00:25:57 ...Oswald receives permission
00:26:02 They're beginning to buy.
00:26:04 On January 5, he is given 5000 rubles
00:26:08 ...at the Belorussian
00:26:12 They've bought.
00:26:13 In 1961, he writes a series of letters
00:26:17 ...concerning possible return
00:26:20 When was Powers shot down
00:26:23 May 1, 1960.
00:26:26 But I'm not sure
00:26:28 They've been spotting our U-2s
00:26:30 - Thanks, Tim, I'll take it from here.
00:26:36 On March 17, he met a young lady,
00:26:40 Six weeks later, they were married.
00:26:42 As a result of Oswald's letters...
00:26:44 ...the State Department
00:26:46 ...that for security reasons,
00:26:50 There was a wrangle with the Russians
00:26:54 ...but everything on our side
00:26:57 The embassy issued a passport.
00:26:59 They lent him $435
00:27:03 And he passed through Immigration
00:27:10 Did anyone meet them at Immigration?
00:27:12 A representative
00:27:15 ...named Ralph P. Waterford.
00:27:17 To help them through customs,
00:27:19 Is that name familiar?
00:27:22 There's a Ralph P. Waterford known
00:27:26 ...for the World Campaign
00:27:29 - Now, who would have sent him?
00:27:32 You get into that,
00:27:35 ...you can't count them all. Tim.
00:27:40 All the intelligence agencies
00:27:44 He was interviewed twice last year
00:27:48 And there's a report out
00:27:51 ...and the Dallas district attorney...
00:27:53 ...have got him labeled
00:27:57 He could be. Defecting, coming back,
00:28:01 ...he could be anything.
00:28:03 CIA, Office of Naval Intelligence,
00:28:08 Lowest possible echelon, of course.
00:28:10 A few dollars here, a few there,
00:28:15 Listen:
00:28:18 On January 27th of this year...
00:28:20 ...he bought a mail-order
00:28:22 ...under a phony name.
00:28:24 And in March he bought a mail-order
00:28:31 In May, he was distributing Fair Play
00:28:34 Can we rely on a character like this?
00:28:37 We're not relying on him.
00:28:41 I've got someone placed
00:28:48 Get a little air.
00:28:50 Go ahead. I wanna check
00:29:00 The real problem is this, James.
00:29:03 In two decades...
00:29:04 ...there will be 7 billion
00:29:08 ...most of them brown,
00:29:10 All of them hungry,
00:29:15 They'll swarm out of their breeding
00:29:19 Hence Vietnam.
00:29:22 An all-out effort there...
00:29:23 ...will give us control of South Asia
00:29:27 And with proper planning, we can
00:29:30 ...by the end of the century.
00:29:32 I know.
00:29:34 I've seen the data.
00:29:36 We sound rather like gods reading
00:29:40 Well, someone has to do it.
00:29:42 Not only will the nations affected
00:29:45 ...but the techniques
00:29:47 ...can be used to reduce
00:29:50 Blacks, Puerto Ricans,
00:29:54 ...poverty-prone whites and so forth.
00:30:08 Raise your right hand, please.
00:30:10 Do you swear that the statements
00:30:14 I do.
00:30:15 Do you swear your allegiance
00:30:18 I do.
00:30:19 For 24-hour service, it's $2.
00:30:24 George Bernard Shaw
00:30:27 ...summed up an approach to life:
00:30:29 "Other people, " he said,
00:30:33 But I dream of things that never were
00:30:37 The problems of the world
00:30:41 ...by skeptics or cynics...
00:30:43 ...whose horizons are limited
00:30:49 Yes?
00:30:54 - Twenty-four hours?
00:30:57 ...he stated on his application that
00:31:01 ...and that he intended
00:31:04 He can't be just crazy on his own.
00:31:06 He defects, they lift his passport...
00:31:09 ...and on 24 hours' notice he gets
00:31:13 Somebody must be behind him.
00:31:15 Oh, yes, indeed.
00:31:48 We call this our Cubanization process.
00:31:58 Here our sponsor distributes
00:32:00 ...on Canal Street in New Orleans.
00:32:08 Who's the other man?
00:32:09 Picked him up in an employment office,
00:32:12 We've repeated this process four times
00:32:16 The address on the leaflets
00:32:19 Howard Grimm's building.
00:32:22 Special agent
00:32:26 We used him in '61 as equipment
00:32:29 Grimm has an office
00:32:32 - Was that wise?
00:32:34 Grimm's organization
00:32:37 The Anti-Communist League
00:32:40 I like that.
00:32:43 And no one's been able
00:32:45 I don't like it, but it's done.
00:32:51 - When are you him getting into Dallas?
00:32:54 Our New Orleans scenario calls
00:32:58 Possibly some radio interviews,
00:33:02 He doesn't know he's being handled?
00:33:04 No.
00:33:06 That's being taken care of by someone
00:33:19 - Heard anything from the old man?
00:33:22 Go ahead without him?
00:33:25 Difficult to say. Very difficult.
00:33:30 In the meantime, we'll push on and hope
00:33:34 Just a little water.
00:33:44 I still have a dream.
00:33:48 It is a dream deeply rooted
00:33:53 I have a dream that one day...
00:33:57 ...this nation will rise up...
00:34:01 ...live out the true meaning
00:34:05 We hold these truths
00:34:08 ...that all men are created equal.
00:34:25 I have a dream...
00:34:29 ...that my four little children
00:34:35 ...where they will not be judged
00:34:38 ...but by the content
00:34:40 I have a dream today.
00:35:30 Orders from God?
00:35:33 What the hell would they be sending us
00:35:39 Help fight American imperialism.
00:35:45 Join the Fair Play for Cuba Committee.
00:35:49 I know you, dirty bastard.
00:35:52 You came to our office
00:35:55 Took some material.
00:36:04 Why don't you go to Cuba
00:36:14 Take him away now.
00:36:36 A full-scale nuclear exchange...
00:36:39 ...lasting less than 60 minutes...
00:36:42 ...with the weapons
00:36:46 ...could wipe out
00:36:50 ...Europeans and Russians...
00:36:52 ...as well as untold millions elsewhere.
00:36:55 That's why I support
00:36:59 Not because we're going to be easier
00:37:03 ...but because we have a chance
00:37:10 The reason that I'm worried
00:37:13 ...is because I believe
00:37:17 ...is a step away from safety...
00:37:21 ...possibly a step toward war.
00:37:24 A pact, hailed by a hopeful majority
00:37:30 ...actually turns out to be a first step
00:37:34 This treaty is not the millennium...
00:37:36 ...but it is an important first step.
00:37:41 Let history record that we,
00:37:45 ...at this time, took the first step.
00:37:50 Man's creating
00:37:53 They sometimes do, you know.
00:37:57 In that event, what do you hear
00:38:00 Ferguson says in effect,
00:38:04 - How's yours stand-in for Brutus doing?
00:38:07 Heading up a Fair Play for Cuba
00:38:10 Writing letters to the Communist Party
00:38:14 And after that street brawl...
00:38:15 ...he demanded that an FBl man
00:38:21 When will he be in Dallas?
00:38:23 Between the 3rd and 5th of October.
00:38:25 His wife's there now,
00:38:28 Well, why wait so long?
00:38:30 Well, he wants to go to Mexico City
00:38:34 - Was that your idea?
00:38:37 But there's no way to stop him without
00:38:41 I don't see any harm in it, do you?
00:38:45 The man's a genius.
00:38:47 He'll have the FBl watching the CIA
00:38:51 Before he's through,
00:38:55 Meanwhile, I'll schedule
00:38:58 - One for each team.
00:39:01 And one more thing, Robert.
00:39:03 When this operation is finished,
00:39:08 Why, of course.
00:39:09 We all have our failures of nerve.
00:39:12 If we didn't,
00:40:29 - George, in one, you shaded him a bit.
00:40:32 I only printed up the hits.
00:40:36 Look at that. Right on target.
00:40:39 Beautiful.
00:40:40 - Front angle shot's wide open.
00:40:43 Sure it is.
00:40:45 Okay. Now, we're supposed to be
00:40:53 Tim, show them the pros and cons
00:40:56 The most direct route
00:40:59 ...to the Trade Mart,
00:41:01 ...is either
00:41:05 ...or Harry Hines Boulevard,
00:41:08 To get to the biggest crowds,
00:41:10 ...the best route would be straight down
00:41:13 ...down Main Street
00:41:16 Where did you say
00:41:18 Texas School Book Depository.
00:41:22 - I went to work there yesterday.
00:41:25 In order for the motorcade to pass it,
00:41:29 Right on Houston Street
00:41:32 ...and then through the underpass
00:41:35 Isn't that a long way around
00:41:37 It's the perfect place
00:41:41 A man in the records building here.
00:41:45 A third man here on the grassy knoll
00:41:50 They'll have to slow down
00:41:54 ...to make this turnoff.
00:41:56 And when they've reached this point,
00:42:00 And there's no way
00:42:05 If that's where you want the parade
00:42:10 I can think of
00:42:12 ...and a dozen people
00:42:15 But let me handle it.
00:42:17 Where will you start, in Washington?
00:42:19 President's there
00:42:21 Businessmen, bankers,
00:42:24 They do the deciding
00:42:27 When it comes to those fellas, I know
00:42:33 Dealey Plaza. I'll guarantee it.
00:42:37 That leaves us with just one problem.
00:42:40 Ferguson's got to be convinced
00:43:31 Tonight, the news from Saigon
00:43:36 ...and the government
00:43:38 ...hangs in the balance.
00:43:40 Radical students and Buddhist activists
00:43:44 ...while government troops
00:43:53 In protest, another Buddhist monk
00:43:58 And what is our president doing
00:44:02 This from Washington:
00:44:03 Is there any speedup
00:44:07 You know, when Secretary McNamara
00:44:10 ...they announced that we would expect
00:44:16 ...from South Vietnam
00:44:20 Reliable sources inform us...
00:44:22 ...that Kennedy plans to withdraw
00:44:25 ...from Southeast Asia in 1965.
00:44:29 A vital region which will inevitably
00:44:33 ...should our president's
00:44:37 Yes, Robert, I can see your point.
00:44:39 I'm in complete agreement.
00:44:41 By all means, go ahead.
00:46:22 Page 499, verse 10.
00:46:27 Job.
00:46:29 "He shall return no more
00:46:32 ...neither shall his place
00:46:53 - Chris.
00:46:54 Open up for a minute.
00:46:55 Jesus, I got somebody in here.
00:46:57 Okay, you come out here.
00:47:09 I'll be back in a minute.
00:47:16 - What?
00:47:19 You got something, huh?
00:47:23 It's our job.
00:47:26 For sure?
00:47:28 - Start packing. Tell the boys.
00:47:31 We picked up this film
00:47:33 It's a TV interview
00:47:36 ...passing out the pro-Castro leaflets.
00:47:41 No matter what you say, Jim...
00:47:43 ...the point of it is
00:47:45 Ten days from now,
00:47:49 ...they must say,
00:47:53 - Do you understand?
00:47:55 It's equally important
00:47:59 He owns a rifle with a scope,
00:48:02 Give him visibility in a gun shop.
00:48:05 We'll provide you a rifle similar to his.
00:48:07 We also want to see him practicing.
00:48:10 Can't you arrange to borrow his rifle?
00:48:12 That's programmed for later
00:48:15 Let's do some more homework.
00:48:17 That does not mean, however,
00:48:21 What is the difference
00:48:23 There is a great deal of difference,
00:48:26 ...in several countries are based
00:48:29 Ghana. Certain countries have
00:48:35 ...such as Great Britain
00:48:38 These, then, are the differences between
00:48:41 ...and countries which adhere
00:48:46 In your work
00:48:49 ...what are you advocating?
00:48:51 We advocate restoration
00:48:53 ...and tourists relations with Cuba.
00:49:06 Hi there.
00:49:09 Well, could you drill this
00:49:16 - Sure can.
00:49:19 I'm gonna need it any day now.
00:49:20 Well, be ready in a couple of days.
00:49:23 Fine.
00:49:26 What's the name?
00:49:28 Lee Harvey Oswald.
00:49:35 - Good.
00:49:39 912 Martin Street, Irving.
00:49:47 Garage.
00:49:49 Got it. I'll let you know.
00:50:54 Chris.
00:51:09 All yours.
00:51:11 It's a 6.5 Mannlicher-Carcano.
00:51:14 Jesus Christ, the Italians
00:51:17 That's 22 years ago.
00:51:19 Let's go.
00:51:32 She's a real fine piece of weaponry,
00:51:35 The Italians in World War ll called it...
00:51:37 ...the rifle that never hurt anybody
00:51:40 The bolt sticks,
00:51:44 ...and the scope is off 0.02 to the left
00:51:50 - Well, can you adjust to it?
00:51:53 I'm gonna need a hell of a lot more
00:52:34 That's one hell of a buy, friend...
00:52:36 ...in case you're looking
00:52:39 - Won't cost you an arm and a leg.
00:52:41 Nineteen ninety-five.
00:52:47 Well, if it's such a hell of a buy,
00:52:50 Only been here
00:52:52 Bullshit.
00:52:57 What you saw here last Monday
00:53:01 ...but it wasn't this car.
00:53:02 - What did you get for it?
00:53:06 Jesus. You mean you'd do that
00:53:12 What the hell are you
00:53:16 Because if I was a doctor...
00:53:17 ...and I wanted
00:53:20 ...I'd stick the nozzle
00:53:24 Before I kick you in the ass, can you
00:53:27 Yeah, Russia. They make a car
00:53:31 You Communist bastard, get out of here.
00:53:34 Who the hell do you think you are,
00:53:37 The name's Oswald. Lee Oswald.
00:53:40 If you ever learn how to spell, you can
00:53:46 It will come in handy at the right time,
00:53:53 The face doesn't look enough like him
00:53:57 Get a picture of the sponsor himself
00:54:01 - Apple pie.
00:54:06 Give him a pistol with a holster.
00:54:09 And a telescopic sight
00:54:14 - Everything in order?
00:55:29 Hey, buddy, you're firing
00:55:32 That's my target.
00:55:35 Hey, mister,
00:55:39 Hey, would you mind?
00:55:42 Why don't you take a flying screw
00:55:46 I'll be glad to, you son of a bitch.
00:55:49 Lee Oswald.
00:55:51 0- S-W-A-L-D.
00:55:57 Hey, Ralph!
00:56:11 Outside the Dallas municipal auditorium,
00:56:15 ...gave U.N. ambassador Adlai Stevenson
00:56:19 ...when he came to give a speech
00:56:26 And the audience inside
00:56:36 Surely, my friend,
00:56:39 ...to teach Texas manners, do I?
00:56:49 But I do hope all the pickets
00:56:52 Go home.
00:56:55 - because I believe in
00:56:58 ...and the redemption of ignorance.
00:57:00 Stevenson told friends that he was
00:57:04 ...not to make
00:57:06 ...because of the hostile atmosphere
00:57:21 Do you see your position?
00:57:22 Yeah, behind that fence on top.
00:57:26 Okay, let's take her down.
01:00:15 "On November 22nd, the only important
01:00:19 ...will be McNamara
01:00:21 The secretaries of state, treasury,
01:00:24 ...will be in the air en route to Tokyo.
01:00:27 The president and vice president
01:00:32 To confuse matters and give your men
01:00:38 ...a code will be removed
01:00:42 ...and the Washington telephone system
01:00:46 - That will help.
01:00:49 ...to stay with the president
01:00:51 Once they get him to the hospital,
01:00:55 But for at least a half-hour,
01:00:59 I'll have six men with Secret Service
01:01:03 Their insignia for this trip, incidentally,
01:01:08 I forgot to mention that
01:01:11 ...has decided to stay in Washington.
01:01:13 Good.
01:01:14 Now to the intelligence agencies.
01:01:17 In going through
01:01:19 ...our contact man came across
01:01:23 ...of somebody called Fred Hastings.
01:01:26 Now, Hastings is an FBl man
01:01:29 You know him?
01:01:32 Oswald has his telephone number?
01:01:37 I was about to mention Mr. Hastings.
01:01:40 He's visited Mrs. Oswald once
01:01:43 ...since the first of the month.
01:01:45 He knows that Oswald works
01:01:49 And we must assume he also knows...
01:01:51 ...that the president's motorcade
01:01:55 Yet neither the local
01:01:57 ...has reported that
01:02:00 What about other Oswald files?
01:02:02 The Office of Naval Intelligence
01:02:05 The CIA regularly monitors his mail.
01:02:09 No one has reported anything
01:02:11 They don't even know
01:02:14 His name appears nowhere
01:02:18 Let's have a drink.
01:02:21 Dallas has one of the highest
01:02:24 In two years, the Secret Service
01:02:27 ...against Kennedy's life
01:02:30 Yet they send him into hostile territory
01:02:34 ...than you and I would arrange
01:02:38 What would you say if I told you
01:02:42 ...Secret Service files
01:02:44 ...in the entire
01:02:47 ...who represents a threat
01:02:50 I'd believe it.
01:02:52 Also there will be no search
01:02:56 And there will be no Secret Service men
01:02:59 Not one.
01:03:00 Good.
01:03:03 The lead car will carry
01:03:07 ...and the two top-ranking
01:03:11 It'll be a closed car.
01:03:14 - They won't be able to see a thing.
01:03:18 Soon be over.
01:03:21 Then there'll be...
01:03:25 ...nothing we can call our own
01:03:28 That small model of the barren earth...
01:03:30 ...which serves as paste
01:03:34 For God's sake,
01:03:37 ...and tell sad stories
01:04:28 The president John F. Kennedy is getting
01:04:33 ...the third stop in his whirlwind trip
01:04:36 After this meeting with the Fort Worth
01:04:39 ...the president and first lady
01:04:54 This is from one of our people
01:04:57 "Last night in Fort Worth,
01:05:00 ...went to the Fort Worth Press Club
01:05:03 Seven of the nine remained
01:05:06 All three night guards left the hotel
01:05:10 Secret Service rules state
01:05:13 ...is strictly prohibited
01:05:16 ...as these agents were.
01:05:19 Four of the nine
01:05:22 ...have key responsibilities
01:05:38 Air Force Number 1,
01:05:40 ...carrying the president
01:05:43 With the seal on the side.
01:05:53 Beautiful sight. Beautiful sight.
01:12:09 Did you hear those shots?
01:12:11 - What are you doing here?
01:12:13 - What happened?
01:12:33 Hey, you. Come here.
01:12:37 - Who are you?
01:12:39 - He work here too?
01:12:41 Okay.
01:12:45 We have just arrived
01:12:48 It's hard to tell what's really going on.
01:12:52 People here with dazed looks
01:12:55 Police are keeping everybody out.
01:12:57 Very difficult to believe
01:13:00 We understand they're giving
01:13:03 ...and fighting very hard
01:13:06 Word just came through
01:13:09 The president's been shot.
01:13:17 Something's happened
01:13:21 Hello? Hello?
01:13:23 Defense Department? Is this the...?
01:13:26 Hello?
01:13:28 - Hello?
01:13:31 There's no answer, senator.
01:13:33 I'm sorry, our lines
01:13:36 I'm sorry, our lines are out of order.
01:13:39 Sorry, sir, our lines
01:13:56 Ladies and gentlemen,
01:13:59 We've just been given word
01:14:03 They've administered the last rites
01:14:06 ...to President John F. Kennedy.
01:14:09 Nothing about Oswald.
01:14:36 Dallas police have arrested a man
01:14:40 ...in the assassination
01:14:42 He was apprehended
01:14:45 ...after allegedly killing a policeman.
01:14:47 This side.
01:14:53 - Did you shoot the president?
01:14:57 I'm just a patsy.
01:14:58 I'm just a patsy.
01:15:00 Oh, knock it off, bub.
01:15:02 This wasn't in the scenario,
01:15:06 No scenario's perfect, Tim.
01:15:08 Probably realized
01:15:11 ...slipped out of the depository,
01:15:15 ...and then ran into the policeman
01:15:18 - Find out what's happened to him.
01:15:21 Identified as Lee Harvey Oswald,
01:15:24 I'll have to leave Dallas.
01:15:25 ...of the Texas Book Depository
01:15:28 ...where the president was shot.
01:15:30 So far, the police are releasing no...
01:15:32 It's terrible, Hymie, terrible.
01:15:36 I gotta get out of this town.
01:15:39 One thing I can tell you:
01:15:43 That this man killed the president.
01:15:45 There is no question in my mind about it.
01:15:49 Chief, can you tell us in summary...
01:15:51 ...what directly links Oswald
01:15:55 Well, he was on the floor
01:15:58 ...immediately before
01:16:00 He was seen carrying a package
01:16:03 Ballistic tests,
01:16:05 But it is-
01:16:08 If we can put his prints on the rifle...
01:16:11 ...I am certain
01:16:13 Are there any other suspects
01:16:15 No.
01:16:20 Thank you.
01:16:24 Is there any indication
01:16:28 - ... or was it one man?
01:16:31 Stuttgart, Gate 12.
01:16:33 Thank you. Let's go.
01:16:58 Jack. Where is everybody?
01:17:01 The joint's closed.
01:17:03 No, I came through the back way.
01:17:07 What's wrong? You stupid bitch,
01:17:11 They killed Kennedy this afternoon.
01:17:12 Sure, I know that, Jack,
01:17:16 Because it looks good, that's why.
01:17:18 Go on home.
01:17:20 Okay.
01:17:24 Hey, wait a minute.
01:17:27 I gave your number to a guy.
01:17:29 A guy named Burger. Henry Burger.
01:17:32 He's a new cop.
01:17:35 He may get lonesome,
01:17:38 If he does, you fix him up, huh?
01:17:40 Sure, I'll fix him up.
01:17:58 May I bring you a drink, sir?
01:18:03 Drink, sir?
01:18:04 Yeah, vodka rocks.
01:18:12 I really don't know
01:18:14 Nobody has told me anything
01:18:18 ...of murdering a policeman.
01:18:21 I know nothing more than that.
01:18:22 I do request
01:18:27 ...to give me legal assistance.
01:18:30 Did you kill the president?
01:18:32 No. I have not been charged
01:18:33 In fact,
01:18:36 The first thing I heard about it...
01:18:37 ...was when the newspaper reporters
01:18:41 How did you hurt your eye,
01:18:43 A policeman hit me.
01:19:07 - You okay?
01:19:23 - Here he comes.
01:19:25 Here comes Oswald
01:19:27 Did you buy that rifle?
01:19:29 Dispatches you people have been given,
01:19:34 - What will he tell them?
01:19:37 Police revealed no further information
01:19:40 Sergeant Nelson, you say he was
01:19:45 - And again at 6:20, right?
01:19:48 And once more at 7:40.
01:19:49 How many hours of interrogation
01:19:52 I don't rightly know, because I'm not sure
01:19:57 Was the interrogation
01:19:59 No, sir.
01:20:00 Was it taken down by a stenotypist?
01:20:03 No, sir.
01:20:04 Was it taken down by a secretary
01:20:07 No, sir.
01:20:09 Well, has Captain Fritz
01:20:13 - No, sir.
01:20:16 No, sir, didn't keep any notes.
01:20:19 How do you know what he said
01:20:22 Oh, we got a pretty good idea
01:20:24 What time are you transferring him
01:20:28 We haven't decided
01:20:30 ...but when we do,
01:20:32 You always have. Haven't you, now?
01:20:36 - Wait, wait.
01:20:39 In Washington, a silent crowd
01:20:44 ...on this grim and somber Saturday,
01:20:47 ...while high government officials
01:20:51 Stan? Jack Ruby.
01:20:54 Have you gotten any word when they're
01:20:59 Yeah? Okay.
01:21:42 Why do you think
01:21:45 Was it...?
01:21:47 The only thing I do is take the evidence,
01:21:51 ...and I don't pass on why he did it
01:21:55 We're just asked to prove that he did it,
01:22:17 How many cases
01:22:19 ...where the death penalty is involved?
01:22:21 Since I've been district attorney...
01:22:23 ...I've asked the death penalty
01:22:25 - How many times have you attained it?
01:22:36 There is Lee Oswald.
01:22:38 There is the prisoner
01:22:56 He's been shot. He's been shot.
01:22:59 Lee Oswald has been shot.
01:23:01 There's the man with a-
01:23:03 It's absolute panic.
01:23:04 Absolute panic here in the basement
01:23:08 Detectives have their guns drawn.
01:23:10 Oswald has been shot.
01:23:21 - Did you see it?
01:23:23 Get them out of the way.
01:23:35 Try to keep the press off.
01:23:40 - Stand back.
01:23:49 As for what kind of charges,
01:24:02 Would you be willing to say it was,
01:24:05 That it is now beyond
01:24:07 ...that Oswald was the killer
01:24:11 I would say that, without any doubt,
01:24:14 The law says, beyond a reasonable
01:24:18 Which there's no question that he was
01:24:22 - That case is closed in your mind.
01:24:25 It's so unlikely, I don't see
01:24:30 Everyone will believe it.
01:24:32 They have to.
01:24:34 People, the government, everyone.
01:24:37 Even his brother?
01:24:38 He's the attorney general,
01:24:40 True.
01:24:42 But he's not thinking
01:24:44 He's grieving for a murdered brother.
01:24:47 By the time his grief subsides,
01:24:50 It'll be too late.
01:24:54 Yes?
01:24:57 That's right.
01:25:02 Hold the body there.
01:25:06 That's right. Thank you. Good night.
01:25:11 That was Tim.
01:25:15 James Farrington...
01:25:18 ...heart attack.
01:25:24 Parkland Hospital.
