184
00:09:48,291 --> 00:09:49,999
<i>those terrible shots rang out.</i>

185
00:09:50,333 --> 00:09:52,041
<i>The president is dead.</i>

186
00:09:53,124 --> 00:09:55,916
Bullets were coming up over our heads...

187
00:09:56,500 --> 00:09:58,957
<i>from that fence up on the knoll.</i>

188
00:09:59,500 --> 00:10:01,957
I seen his face when it hit. He just...

189
00:10:03,124 --> 00:10:05,124
His ear blew off,

190
00:10:05,208 --> 00:10:07,082
and he turns this real white.

191
00:10:10,208 --> 00:10:12,374
<i>He kind of flopped over on his stomach...</i>

192
00:10:13,124 --> 00:10:14,416
<i>And um...</i>

193
00:10:15,124 --> 00:10:16,749
<i>with his foot sticking out.</i>

194
00:10:18,540 --> 00:10:19,457
<i>Excuse me.</i>

195
00:10:19,540 --> 00:10:21,416
<i>None of us thought it could
happen in America</i>

196
00:10:21,500 --> 00:10:23,500
<i>or any place else, and yet...</i>

197
00:10:23,832 --> 00:10:27,082
All this blubbering over that no-count
son of a bitch.

198
00:10:27,166 --> 00:10:28,998
They're bawling like they knew the man.

199
00:10:29,082 --> 00:10:30,374
Makes me want to puke.

200
00:10:31,999 --> 00:10:34,540
For God's sake,
chief, the president was shot.

201
00:10:34,624 --> 00:10:36,082
A bullshit president.

202
00:10:36,665 --> 00:10:40,249
I don't see anybody crying
for all those thousands of Cubans

203
00:10:40,333 --> 00:10:44,333
that bastard condemned to death
and torture at Bay of Pigs.

204
00:10:45,041 --> 00:10:46,998
Goddamn peace treaties.

205
00:10:47,082 --> 00:10:49,124
I heard shots from over there.

206
00:10:49,540 --> 00:10:52,041
Well, I heard some shots
from right over there.

207
00:10:52,208 --> 00:10:54,040
<i>- How many shots?
- Uh, I can't...</i>

208
00:10:54,124 --> 00:10:56,707
<i>That's what happens when
you let the niggers vote.</i>

209
00:10:57,832 --> 00:11:01,249
They get together with the Jews
and the Catholics,

210
00:11:01,333 --> 00:11:03,624
and elect an Irish bleeding heart.

211
00:11:03,999 --> 00:11:06,457
Uh, chief, maybe you had a little
too much to drink.

212
00:11:06,540 --> 00:11:07,957
Bullshit.

213
00:11:08,333 --> 00:11:10,166
Here's to the New Frontier.

214
00:11:11,333 --> 00:11:13,790
Camelot in smithereens.

215
00:11:14,500 --> 00:11:15,874
<i>I'll drink to that.</i>

216
00:11:21,333 --> 00:11:22,249
<i>A flash bulletin.</i>

217
00:11:22,333 --> 00:11:25,165
<i>Dallas police have just announced
that they have a suspect</i>

218
00:11:25,249 --> 00:11:29,457
<i>in the killing of a Dallas police officer,
a JD Tippit,</i>

219
00:11:29,540 --> 00:11:31,957
<i>who was shot at 1:15 in Oak Cliff.</i>

220
00:11:32,041 --> 00:11:33,623
<i>That's a suburb of Dallas.</i>

221
00:11:33,707 --> 00:11:35,832
<i>Police are saying there could be
a tie-in, here,</i>

222
00:11:35,916 --> 00:11:37,581
<i>to the murder of the president.</i>

223
00:11:37,665 --> 00:11:41,457
<i>The suspect, identified as
Lee Harvey Oswald,</i>

224
00:11:41,540 --> 00:11:44,416
<i>was arrested by more than
a dozen police officers,</i>

225
00:11:44,500 --> 00:11:47,832
<i>after a short scuffle at the Texas
movie theater in Oak Cliff.</i>

226
00:11:49,540 --> 00:11:51,489
<i>Officer Tippit was killed apparently...</i>

227
00:11:52,832 --> 00:11:55,290
<i>by a revolver, which was found on Oswald.</i>

228
00:11:55,374 --> 00:11:56,457
<i>There is apparently...</i>

229
00:11:56,540 --> 00:11:58,249
They oughta just shoot the bastard!

230
00:11:58,333 --> 00:12:00,540
They should give him a medal
for shooting Kennedy!

231
00:12:00,624 --> 00:12:01,706
<i>Oswald!</i>

232
00:12:01,790 --> 00:12:02,832
<i>Oswald, did you fire that rifle?</i>

233
00:12:02,916 --> 00:12:04,040
<i>No, sir, I didn't.</i>

234
00:12:04,124 --> 00:12:05,790
I don't know what I am charged with,

235
00:12:05,874 --> 00:12:07,957
but I emphatically deny these charges.

236
00:12:11,374 --> 00:12:14,291
Well, the kid must've gone nuts, right?

237
00:12:15,416 --> 00:12:17,832
- I said, Oswald must've flipped.
- Yeah.

238
00:12:17,916 --> 00:12:19,041
- Right?
- Yeah.

239
00:12:19,999 --> 00:12:23,040
Just went ahead and did this crazy thing
before anybody could stop him.

240
00:12:23,124 --> 00:12:26,623
I think I'll get out of here.
I've got to get home, chief.

241
00:12:26,707 --> 00:12:28,505
What the hell are you talking about?

242
00:12:29,374 --> 00:12:31,333
Yeah, who would ever have thought...

243
00:12:31,665 --> 00:12:35,624
that goofy Oswald kid would pull a stunt
like an assassination.

244
00:12:36,540 --> 00:12:39,499
Just goes to show, you never can know
about some people.

245
00:12:39,582 --> 00:12:42,623
- Am I right, Jack?
- Yeah.

246
00:12:42,707 --> 00:12:45,540
- Well, bless my soul.
- Huh?

247
00:12:45,624 --> 00:12:48,208
Yeah, all these years I thought
you were on my team.

248
00:12:49,166 --> 00:12:51,707
Sometimes, I don't know.
Are you kidding?

249
00:12:51,999 --> 00:12:54,540
I couldn't be more serious, Jack.

250
00:12:55,124 --> 00:12:59,082
The little red eyes of yours have me
wondering about your loyalty.

251
00:13:07,291 --> 00:13:09,089
Look at that.
Look at that lightning.

252
00:13:12,458 --> 00:13:14,749
- Who's been going through my files?
- Huh?

253
00:13:14,957 --> 00:13:16,581
You've been going through my files,
haven't you?

254
00:13:16,665 --> 00:13:17,916
You little weasel.

255
00:13:18,874 --> 00:13:20,748
You're starting to get paranoid.

256
00:13:20,832 --> 00:13:22,333
You really are!

257
00:13:23,291 --> 00:13:25,249
You were going through all my files.

258
00:13:25,500 --> 00:13:26,832
You're a goddamn spy.

259
00:13:26,916 --> 00:13:29,623
Why the hell would I want to look
through your files, chief?

260
00:13:29,707 --> 00:13:32,582
I've seen enough here this summer
already to write a book.

261
00:13:32,957 --> 00:13:35,249
I always lock my files!

262
00:13:35,333 --> 00:13:37,166
You're the only one here today.

263
00:13:37,790 --> 00:13:40,915
- What do you mean, you bastard?
- Huh?

264
00:13:40,999 --> 00:13:42,832
What do you mean,
you're going to write a book?

265
00:13:42,916 --> 00:13:45,707
What? No, I mean,
well, you know what I mean.

266
00:13:46,374 --> 00:13:49,124
I've seen a lot of strange things here.

267
00:13:49,749 --> 00:13:50,790
Strange people.

268
00:13:51,041 --> 00:13:53,208
You didn't see a goddamn thing!

269
00:13:57,540 --> 00:13:58,957
Goddamn you.

270
00:13:59,540 --> 00:14:00,748
You didn't see a goddamn thing,

271
00:14:00,832 --> 00:14:02,082
you hear me, you little weasel?

272
00:14:02,166 --> 00:14:03,873
You didn't see a goddamn thing!

273
00:14:03,957 --> 00:14:06,124
<i>Full name is Lee Harvey Oswald.</i>

274
00:14:06,374 --> 00:14:07,873
<i>O-S-W-A-L-D.</i>

275
00:14:07,957 --> 00:14:09,457
- <i>Stand back, please.
- Did you shoot the president?</i>

276
00:14:09,540 --> 00:14:11,249
<i>I didn't shoot anybody, no, sir.</i>

277
00:14:11,832 --> 00:14:14,124
<i>They have taken me in because of the fact</i>

278
00:14:14,208 --> 00:14:16,665
<i>I have lived in the Soviet Union.</i>

279
00:14:17,166 --> 00:14:19,082
<i>I'm just a patsy!</i>

280
00:14:19,582 --> 00:14:21,749
God, he sure looks like a creep.

281
00:14:22,500 --> 00:14:27,041
<i>I protested at that time I was
not allowed legal representation...</i>

282
00:14:27,874 --> 00:14:31,623
<i>during that very short and sweet
hearing...</i>

283
00:14:31,707 --> 00:14:35,332
I really don't know
what this situation is about.

284
00:14:35,416 --> 00:14:38,957
Nobody has told me anything,
except that I am accused of

285
00:14:39,041 --> 00:14:40,500
<i>murdering a policeman.</i>

286
00:14:40,999 --> 00:14:44,915
<i>I know nothing more than that,
and I do request</i>

287
00:14:44,999 --> 00:14:49,332
someone to come forward to give me
legal assistance.

288
00:14:49,416 --> 00:14:51,623
Were you ever in the Free Cuba movement

289
00:14:51,707 --> 00:14:52,665
or whatever that it's called?

290
00:14:52,749 --> 00:14:54,747
That's the Fair Play for Cuba Committee.

291
00:14:55,374 --> 00:14:56,499
What did you do in Russia?

292
00:14:56,582 --> 00:14:57,915
<i>And what happened to your eye?</i>

293
00:14:57,999 --> 00:15:01,040
He seems pretty cool to me
for a man under pressure like that.

294
00:15:01,124 --> 00:15:02,582
<i>A policeman hit me.</i>

295
00:15:02,749 --> 00:15:04,166
Gives me the willies.

296
00:15:04,416 --> 00:15:07,874
Okay, come on, sugarplums,
it's past your bedtimes.

297
00:15:08,208 --> 00:15:09,790
Oh, Mattie, honey.

298
00:15:09,874 --> 00:15:11,999
Get a hold of yourself.

299
00:15:12,333 --> 00:15:13,874
Why, Mr. Jim?

300
00:15:14,999 --> 00:15:16,665
He was a fine man.

301
00:15:16,749 --> 00:15:18,249
<i>Lee Harvey Oswald...</i>

302
00:15:18,333 --> 00:15:19,998
- A fine man.
<i>- After a stint in the marines,</i>

303
00:15:20,082 --> 00:15:21,748
<i>he apparently became fascinated</i>

304
00:15:21,832 --> 00:15:22,873
<i>by communism.</i>

305
00:15:22,957 --> 00:15:25,499
<i>He is still believed
to be a dedicated Marxist</i>

306
00:15:25,582 --> 00:15:27,748
<i>and a fanatical supporter of Fidel Castro</i>

307
00:15:27,832 --> 00:15:29,832
<i>and ultra left-wing causes.</i>

308
00:15:30,124 --> 00:15:31,915
<i>He spent last summer in New Orleans</i>

309
00:15:31,999 --> 00:15:33,581
<i>and was arrested there in a brawl</i>

310
00:15:33,665 --> 00:15:36,124
<i>with anti-Castro Cuban exiles.</i>

311
00:15:36,208 --> 00:15:39,207
<i>And apparently, Bob,
Oswald has been passing out...</i>

312
00:15:39,291 --> 00:15:40,457
Hello, Lou?

313
00:15:40,540 --> 00:15:41,873
Yeah, sorry to disturb you this late.

314
00:15:41,957 --> 00:15:43,249
<i>It's all right, I'm watching it, too.</i>

315
00:15:43,333 --> 00:15:44,416
Yeah, a matter of routine,

316
00:15:44,500 --> 00:15:46,915
but we better get on this Oswald
connection to New Orleans right away.

317
00:15:46,999 --> 00:15:49,249
<i>- Mm-hmm.</i>
- I want you to check out his record.

318
00:15:49,333 --> 00:15:51,749
Find any friends or associates
from last summer.

319
00:15:52,124 --> 00:15:54,581
Let's meet with the senior assistants
and investigators

320
00:15:54,665 --> 00:15:56,332
day after tomorrow, all right?

321
00:15:56,416 --> 00:15:57,790
<i>That'd be on Sunday?</i>

322
00:15:57,874 --> 00:15:59,208
Sunday, yeah, at 11:00.

323
00:15:59,707 --> 00:16:01,555
<i>- All right.</i>
- All right. Thanks, Lou.

324
00:16:01,999 --> 00:16:04,124
<i>I would say that, without any doubt,</i>

325
00:16:04,208 --> 00:16:05,249
<i>he is the killer.</i>

326
00:16:05,333 --> 00:16:07,207
<i>The law says beyond a reasonable doubt</i>

327
00:16:07,291 --> 00:16:08,748
<i>and to a moral certainty.</i>

328
00:16:08,832 --> 00:16:10,915
<i>I thought it was a motorcycle backfire,</i>

329
00:16:10,999 --> 00:16:12,706
<i>and I looked over to my left</i>

330
00:16:12,790 --> 00:16:14,998
<i>and a second shot hit him in the face.</i>

331
00:16:15,082 --> 00:16:16,623
<i>Police say the rifle,</i>

332
00:16:16,707 --> 00:16:20,041
<i>a cheap World War ll,
Italian-made Mannlicher-Carcano...</i>

333
00:16:20,374 --> 00:16:22,521
<i>was ordered from a
Chicago mailing house...</i>

334
00:16:22,874 --> 00:16:26,082
<i>and shipped to Oswald's alias,
A. Hidell,</i>

335
00:16:26,166 --> 00:16:28,957
<i>at a post office box in March of 1963.</i>

336
00:16:29,041 --> 00:16:30,957
<i>This is the same rifle that was used</i>

337
00:16:31,041 --> 00:16:32,540
<i>to assassinate the president.</i>

338
00:16:33,208 --> 00:16:34,249
That ties it up.

339
00:16:34,416 --> 00:16:35,581
He did what?

340
00:16:35,665 --> 00:16:37,040
Another nut.

341
00:16:37,124 --> 00:16:39,457
Jesus Christ!
Anybody can get a rifle in Texas.

342
00:16:39,540 --> 00:16:41,249
As far as Oswald's associates, boss,

343
00:16:41,333 --> 00:16:44,124
the one name that keeps popping up is
David Ferrie.

344
00:16:44,374 --> 00:16:46,871
Oswald was seen with him several times
last summer.

345
00:16:47,790 --> 00:16:48,832
I know David.

346
00:16:49,790 --> 00:16:50,998
Strange character.

347
00:16:51,082 --> 00:16:52,290
Yeah, he's been in trouble before.

348
00:16:52,374 --> 00:16:54,540
Used to be a hot-shot pilot
for Eastern Airlines

349
00:16:54,624 --> 00:16:57,499
but got canned after an alleged
homosexual incident

350
00:16:57,582 --> 00:16:59,290
- with a 14 year old.
<i>- These backyard photos</i>

351
00:16:59,374 --> 00:17:01,832
<i>were found yesterday among
Oswald's possessions.</i>

352
00:17:01,916 --> 00:17:02,916
Get Kohlman.

353
00:17:03,500 --> 00:17:05,457
He told somebody the Texas trip.

354
00:17:05,540 --> 00:17:07,788
Yesterday,
mentioned to somebody about Ferrie.

355
00:17:08,291 --> 00:17:09,332
Find it out.

356
00:17:09,416 --> 00:17:10,706
<i>Did he shoot the president, Marina?</i>

357
00:17:10,790 --> 00:17:12,166
<i>He no shoot anyone.</i>

358
00:17:12,999 --> 00:17:15,249
He good... good man.
Good husband.

359
00:17:16,208 --> 00:17:19,749
So it seems David Ferrie drove off on
Friday afternoon for Texas.

360
00:17:20,124 --> 00:17:22,748
A source told Kohlman he might have been
a getaway pilot for Oswald.

361
00:17:22,832 --> 00:17:24,124
What getaway pilot?

362
00:17:24,291 --> 00:17:26,333
Hold on.
Hold your horses.

363
00:17:26,582 --> 00:17:27,999
What kind of source?

364
00:17:28,624 --> 00:17:30,124
The anonymous kind, chief.

365
00:17:30,957 --> 00:17:32,581
I think I remember this guy Ferrie,

366
00:17:32,665 --> 00:17:34,665
speaking at a meeting of some
veterans group,

367
00:17:34,749 --> 00:17:36,124
ranting against Castro.

368
00:17:36,291 --> 00:17:37,390
Extreme sort of stuff.

369
00:17:38,458 --> 00:17:39,790
Susie, back up.

370
00:17:39,874 --> 00:17:40,873
They're bringing him out.

371
00:17:40,957 --> 00:17:42,624
- Numa, turn it up.
- Yeah.

372
00:17:43,790 --> 00:17:45,207
<i>Here he comes!</i>

373
00:17:45,291 --> 00:17:46,540
<i>Come on, here he comes!
Get that stuff!</i>

374
00:17:46,624 --> 00:17:47,773
<i>Come on, let's get him!</i>

375
00:17:50,916 --> 00:17:53,364
Is there anything you want
to say in your defense?

376
00:17:53,749 --> 00:17:54,665
Oswald!

377
00:17:55,916 --> 00:17:56,665
What happened?

378
00:17:56,749 --> 00:17:58,298
- <i>He's been shot!</i>
- He shot him!

379
00:17:58,749 --> 00:18:00,706
He's been shot!

380
00:18:00,790 --> 00:18:02,439
He shot him on TV! Just shot him!

381
00:18:05,333 --> 00:18:06,582
There's a man with a gun!

382
00:18:06,790 --> 00:18:08,998
<i>- There's absolute panic!</i>
- It's the guy in the hat.

383
00:18:09,082 --> 00:18:11,929
Seventy cops in that place.
What the hell were they doing?

384
00:18:12,999 --> 00:18:14,416
Well, no trial now.

385
00:18:15,291 --> 00:18:18,374
Looks like somebody just saved the
Dallas DA a pile of work.

386
00:18:18,500 --> 00:18:21,896
<i>Pandemonium has broken loose
here in the basement of Dallas Police...</i>

387
00:18:22,124 --> 00:18:22,956
Lou.

388
00:18:23,790 --> 00:18:25,916
Lou, let's get David Ferrie in here
anyway.

389
00:18:26,916 --> 00:18:28,082
It's wrong.

390
00:18:28,458 --> 00:18:29,665
This is crazy!

391
00:18:44,041 --> 00:18:46,290
<i>Yesterday, in the midst of sorrow,</i>

392
00:18:46,374 --> 00:18:48,166
<i>the business of government went on.</i>

393
00:18:48,582 --> 00:18:51,332
<i>The President meeting with
Henry Cabot Lodge,</i>

394
00:18:51,416 --> 00:18:53,581
<i>our ambassador to Vietnam,</i>

395
00:18:53,665 --> 00:18:55,041
<i>and members of his cabinet.</i>

396
00:18:55,291 --> 00:18:57,333
<i>The major subject was Vietnam...</i>

397
00:18:57,665 --> 00:19:00,581
<i>a crisis that does not pause
for bereavement.</i>

398
00:19:00,665 --> 00:19:04,457
<i>And from this meeting, came affirmations
that the United States</i>

399
00:19:04,540 --> 00:19:08,165
<i>would continue its policy of aiding the
new government of Vietnam</i>

400
00:19:08,249 --> 00:19:10,999
<i>in its war against the
communist insurgents.</i>

401
00:19:16,582 --> 00:19:17,458
Chief?

402
00:19:17,749 --> 00:19:18,832
David Ferrie.

403
00:19:20,707 --> 00:19:21,707
Come on in, Dave.

404
00:19:23,166 --> 00:19:24,215
Thank you for coming.

405
00:19:24,665 --> 00:19:26,114
You remember me,
Mr. Garrison?

406
00:19:26,500 --> 00:19:28,873
I met you on Carondelet Street,
right after your election.

407
00:19:28,957 --> 00:19:30,374
- I congratulated you, remember?
- How could I forget?

408
00:19:30,458 --> 00:19:32,208
You make quite a first impression.

409
00:19:32,832 --> 00:19:35,748
And I've heard over the years you're quite
a first-rate pilot, Dave.

410
00:19:35,832 --> 00:19:36,623
- Really?
- Yeah.

411
00:19:36,707 --> 00:19:39,957
Legend has it you can get in and out of
any field, no matter how small.

412
00:19:40,041 --> 00:19:41,790
- Huh.
- I'm a bit of a pilot myself.

413
00:19:41,874 --> 00:19:44,624
Flew grasshoppers for the field artillery
in the war.

414
00:19:45,749 --> 00:19:47,947
Here, have a seat.
Make yourself comfortable.

415
00:19:49,416 --> 00:19:50,874
Mind if I smoke,
Mr. Garrison?

416
00:19:51,540 --> 00:19:52,500
How could I?

417
00:19:53,874 --> 00:19:54,623
Dave, as you know,

418
00:19:54,707 --> 00:19:57,165
President Kennedy
was assassinated on Friday.

419
00:19:57,249 --> 00:20:00,499
A man named Lee Harvey Oswald
was arrested as a suspect,

420
00:20:00,582 --> 00:20:04,041
and was then murdered, yesterday,
by a man named Jack Ruby.

421
00:20:04,707 --> 00:20:07,581
We've heard reports that Oswald spent the
summer here in New Orleans,

422
00:20:07,665 --> 00:20:10,413
and we've been advised that you knew
Oswald pretty well.

423
00:20:10,540 --> 00:20:12,291
I never met anybody named Oswald.

424
00:20:12,665 --> 00:20:14,763
Anybody that told you that
has to be crazy.

425
00:20:14,916 --> 00:20:17,040
But you are aware, he served in your
Civil Air Patrol unit

426
00:20:17,124 --> 00:20:19,082
when he was a teenager?

427
00:20:19,166 --> 00:20:21,166
No. If he did,
I don't remember him.

428
00:20:21,916 --> 00:20:24,082
I mean, there were lots of boys in
and out, you know?

429
00:20:24,166 --> 00:20:25,748
Well, I'm sure you've seen this.

430
00:20:25,832 --> 00:20:28,030
Perhaps you knew this man under
another name.

431
00:20:30,665 --> 00:20:32,624
No, I never saw him before in my life.

432
00:20:34,333 --> 00:20:37,130
Well that must've been mistaken
information we got, then.

433
00:20:37,374 --> 00:20:39,322
Thanks for straightening it out for us.

434
00:20:41,540 --> 00:20:43,957
There is one other matter
that's come up, Dave.

435
00:20:45,707 --> 00:20:48,082
We were told that you
took a trip to Texas...

436
00:20:48,540 --> 00:20:50,790
shortly after the assassination
on Friday.

437
00:20:50,874 --> 00:20:52,922
Yeah, now that's true.
I drove to Houston.

438
00:20:53,041 --> 00:20:54,839
What was so appealing about Houston?

439
00:20:55,582 --> 00:20:57,915
I hadn't been there ice skating in many
years and I was with

440
00:20:57,999 --> 00:21:01,457
a couple of young friends and we decided
we wanted to go ice skating.

441
00:21:01,540 --> 00:21:03,124
<i>Dave, may I ask why the urge</i>

442
00:21:03,208 --> 00:21:04,957
To go ice skating in Texas happened
to strike you

443
00:21:05,041 --> 00:21:08,088
during one of the most violent
thunderstorms in recent memory?

444
00:21:09,540 --> 00:21:10,291
Uh

445
00:21:10,416 --> 00:21:12,082
Spur-of-the-moment thing.

446
00:21:12,249 --> 00:21:13,999
- Storm wasn't that bad.
- I see.

447
00:21:16,124 --> 00:21:17,323
And where did you drive?

448
00:21:17,707 --> 00:21:18,956
Uh, we went to Houston...

449
00:21:19,540 --> 00:21:21,499
<i>then Saturday night drove to Galveston</i>

450
00:21:21,582 --> 00:21:22,681
<i>and stayed over there.</i>

451
00:21:22,790 --> 00:21:23,832
And then Sunday?

452
00:21:25,208 --> 00:21:27,106
In the morning, we went goose hunting.

453
00:21:28,124 --> 00:21:29,749
You bag any geese on this trip?

454
00:21:30,291 --> 00:21:31,889
I believe the boys got a couple.

455
00:21:31,999 --> 00:21:34,047
But the boys told us they didn't get any.

456
00:21:37,665 --> 00:21:38,998
Come to think of it, they're right.

457
00:21:39,082 --> 00:21:41,040
We got out there, where the geese were,

458
00:21:41,124 --> 00:21:43,721
and there were thousands of them,
all over the place.

459
00:21:43,999 --> 00:21:45,581
But, uh, you couldn't approach 'em.

460
00:21:45,665 --> 00:21:47,164
They're a wise bunch of birds.

461
00:21:48,249 --> 00:21:51,581
Your young friends also told us you had
no weapons in the car, Dave.

462
00:21:51,665 --> 00:21:54,249
Isn't it a bit difficult to hunt for
geese without a shotgun?

463
00:21:54,333 --> 00:21:55,165
Well...

464
00:22:00,082 --> 00:22:01,665
Yes, I remember now.

465
00:22:01,749 --> 00:22:03,832
I'm sorry, Mr. Garrison.
I got confused.

466
00:22:04,166 --> 00:22:05,465
We got out near the geese,

467
00:22:05,707 --> 00:22:08,624
and only then did we realize we had
forgotten our shotguns.

468
00:22:09,540 --> 00:22:10,582
Stupid, right?

469
00:22:11,665 --> 00:22:14,249
Uh, so, of course,
we didn't get any geese.

470
00:22:15,416 --> 00:22:17,624
I see, Dave.
Well, thank you for your time.

471
00:22:18,582 --> 00:22:20,915
I'm sorry that this has to end
inconveniently for you,

472
00:22:20,999 --> 00:22:24,496
but I'm going to have to detain you for
further questioning by the FBI.

473
00:22:25,166 --> 00:22:26,166
Why, what's wrong?

474
00:22:26,500 --> 00:22:28,916
Dave, I find your story simply
not believable.

475
00:22:30,333 --> 00:22:31,165
Really?

476
00:22:31,458 --> 00:22:32,500
Come on.

477
00:22:34,999 --> 00:22:35,999
What part?

478
00:22:56,166 --> 00:22:58,665
Gentlemen,
this afternoon the FBI released

479
00:22:58,749 --> 00:23:01,374
David W. Ferrie of New Orleans.

480
00:23:01,458 --> 00:23:04,748
After extensive questioning
and a thorough background check,

481
00:23:04,832 --> 00:23:07,706
the Bureau found no evidence that
Mr. Ferrie

482
00:23:07,790 --> 00:23:10,082
<i>knew Lee Harvey Oswald,</i>

483
00:23:10,166 --> 00:23:13,999
<i>or has had any connection with
the assassination of President Kennedy.</i>

484
00:23:14,416 --> 00:23:17,124
<i>The special agent in
charge would like to make clear...</i>

485
00:23:17,874 --> 00:23:20,457
<i>that Mr. Ferrie was brought in
for questioning</i>

486
00:23:20,540 --> 00:23:24,082
<i>by the District Attorney of
Orleans Parish, not by</i>

487
00:23:24,166 --> 00:23:26,457
<i>- the Federal Bureau of Investigation.</i>
- I thought we were on the same side.

488
00:23:26,540 --> 00:23:28,499
What the hell business is it of theirs
to say that?

489
00:23:28,582 --> 00:23:30,930
Pretty fast, wasn't it?
The way they let him go.

490
00:23:31,707 --> 00:23:33,406
They must know something we don't.

491
00:23:34,957 --> 00:23:37,005
So let's get on with our lives,
gentlemen.

492
00:23:37,790 --> 00:23:39,540
We got plenty of home-grown crimes

493
00:23:39,624 --> 00:23:40,790
- to prosecute.
<i>- President Johnson</i>

494
00:23:40,874 --> 00:23:42,457
<i>has announced the creation of</i>

495
00:23:42,540 --> 00:23:44,374
<i>a Blue Ribbon Presidential Commission</i>

496
00:23:44,458 --> 00:23:46,207
<i>- to probe the events in Dallas.</i>
- Goodnight.

497
00:23:46,291 --> 00:23:48,165
<i>The Commission will be headed by
Chief Justice</i>

498
00:23:48,249 --> 00:23:50,706
<i>of the United States Supreme Court,
Earl Warren,</i>

499
00:23:50,790 --> 00:23:53,124
<i>and is expected to head off
several Congressional</i>

500
00:23:53,208 --> 00:23:55,457
<i>and Texas inquiries into the
assassination.</i>

501
00:23:55,540 --> 00:23:59,040
<i>On the panel are Allen Dulles,
ex-chief of the CIA,</i>

502
00:23:59,124 --> 00:24:00,572
<i>Representative Gerald Ford...</i>

503
00:24:01,540 --> 00:24:02,290
<i>John J. McCloy,</i>

504
00:24:02,374 --> 00:24:04,422
<i>former head of the Chase
Manhattan Bank...</i>

505
00:24:06,999 --> 00:24:08,540
Fucking out of control.

506
00:24:08,874 --> 00:24:11,624
All these hippies running around
on drugs.

507
00:24:12,208 --> 00:24:13,249
The way young people look,

508
00:24:13,333 --> 00:24:15,790
you can't tell a boy from a girl anymore.

509
00:24:16,082 --> 00:24:17,623
I saw a girl the other day.

510
00:24:17,707 --> 00:24:18,832
She was pregnant.

511
00:24:18,916 --> 00:24:20,665
You could see her whole belly.

512
00:24:21,082 --> 00:24:23,080
And you know what she had painted on it?

513
00:24:23,416 --> 00:24:24,999
"Love Child."

514
00:24:29,374 --> 00:24:31,374
Oh, it's a mess down there, Jim.

515
00:24:32,458 --> 00:24:35,416
We've bitten off more Vietnam than we can
possibly chew.

516
00:24:35,832 --> 00:24:39,291
'Course it figures with that polecat
Lyndon in the White House.

517
00:24:41,124 --> 00:24:43,623
You know, I sometimes think things
have gone downhill

518
00:24:43,707 --> 00:24:45,500
since John Kennedy died, Senator.

519
00:24:46,082 --> 00:24:47,749
Oh, don't get me started on that.

520
00:24:47,999 --> 00:24:51,749
Those Warren Commission fellas were
picking gnat shit out of pepper.

521
00:24:52,333 --> 00:24:54,790
Nobody's gonna tell me that kid did the
shooting job he did

522
00:24:54,874 --> 00:24:56,208
from that damn bookstore.

523
00:24:56,790 --> 00:24:59,082
- Here you go, Senator Long.
- Oh, thank you, honey.

524
00:24:59,166 --> 00:25:02,374
I thought the FBI test-fired the rifle to
see if it could be done?

525
00:25:02,458 --> 00:25:05,249
Sure, three experts,
and not one of them could do it.

526
00:25:05,874 --> 00:25:08,665
They're telling us that Oswald
got off three shots

527
00:25:08,749 --> 00:25:12,457
with world-class precision
from a manual bolt-action rifle

528
00:25:12,540 --> 00:25:14,332
in less than six seconds,

529
00:25:14,416 --> 00:25:15,873
and, according to his Marine buddies,

530
00:25:15,957 --> 00:25:17,540
he got Maggie's drawers.

531
00:25:17,957 --> 00:25:18,998
You know what that means?

532
00:25:19,082 --> 00:25:20,166
He wasn't any good.

533
00:25:20,749 --> 00:25:22,873
<i>Average man would be lucky to get
two shots off.</i>

534
00:25:22,957 --> 00:25:24,581
<i>And I tell ya, the first shot</i>

535
00:25:24,665 --> 00:25:26,290
<i>would always be the best.</i>

536
00:25:26,374 --> 00:25:28,457
<i>Here, the third shot's perfect.</i>

537
00:25:28,540 --> 00:25:31,540
Then they got that crazy bullet
zigzagging all over the place,

538
00:25:31,624 --> 00:25:34,291
so it hits Kennedy and Connally
seven times.

539
00:25:34,624 --> 00:25:35,374
Ah.

540
00:25:35,458 --> 00:25:36,540
One pristine bullet?

541
00:25:36,624 --> 00:25:37,999
That dog don't hunt.

542
00:25:41,249 --> 00:25:44,416
You know, something's always bothered me
about that from day one, too.

543
00:25:44,500 --> 00:25:45,790
Legal representation.

544
00:25:45,874 --> 00:25:48,422
Do you think there were other men
involved, Russell?

545
00:25:49,041 --> 00:25:50,623
If I were investigating the case,

546
00:25:50,707 --> 00:25:53,500
I'd round up 100 of the world's
best riflemen...

547
00:25:53,999 --> 00:25:56,416
find out which ones were in Dallas
that day.

548
00:25:56,749 --> 00:25:57,915
You been duck hunting?

549
00:25:57,999 --> 00:26:00,374
I think Oswald's a good,
old-fashioned decoy.

550
00:26:00,458 --> 00:26:02,540
What'd he say?
"I'm just a patsy."

551
00:26:02,624 --> 00:26:03,832
You better believe it.

552
00:26:12,540 --> 00:26:13,458
Jim?

553
00:26:14,124 --> 00:26:15,041
Honey?

554
00:26:15,624 --> 00:26:17,500
Dinner's just about ready.

555
00:26:19,416 --> 00:26:21,041
Got a surprise for you tonight.

556
00:26:22,041 --> 00:26:23,291
Tried something new.

557
00:26:25,208 --> 00:26:26,166
Jim?

558
00:26:28,416 --> 00:26:29,749
- Jim?
- What?

559
00:26:29,916 --> 00:26:30,874
Dinner.

560
00:26:32,374 --> 00:26:35,748
Smells good, but, honey, do you realize
that Oswald was interrogated

561
00:26:35,832 --> 00:26:39,165
for 12 hours after the assassination
with no lawyer present,

562
00:26:39,249 --> 00:26:41,957
and nobody...
nobody recorded a word of it?

563
00:26:42,540 --> 00:26:44,333
- Huh.
- I can't believe it.

564
00:26:44,665 --> 00:26:47,540
A police captain with 30 years experience
and a crowd of federal agents

565
00:26:47,624 --> 00:26:49,416
just had to know that with no record

566
00:26:49,500 --> 00:26:52,374
anything that Oswald says is gonna be
inadmissible in court.

567
00:26:52,458 --> 00:26:54,332
Well, honey, why don't we talk about it
at the dinner table.

568
00:26:54,416 --> 00:26:55,332
It's getting cold.

569
00:26:55,416 --> 00:26:57,540
Jasper, what are you doing in here?

570
00:26:57,624 --> 00:27:00,416
Daddy said it was all right if I was
real quiet.

571
00:27:00,500 --> 00:27:01,374
Sure, it is.

572
00:27:01,665 --> 00:27:04,706
Honey, if I ever handled a minor felon
like that, it'd be all over the papers.

573
00:27:04,790 --> 00:27:07,238
And this is the alleged murderer of
the president!

574
00:27:11,624 --> 00:27:13,165
Do you really think so?

575
00:27:13,249 --> 00:27:14,623
Yeah. Again and again,

576
00:27:14,707 --> 00:27:17,165
credible testimony is ignored,

577
00:27:17,249 --> 00:27:20,333
leads are never followed up,
its conclusions selective...

578
00:27:20,916 --> 00:27:22,873
there's no index,
it's one of the sloppiest,

579
00:27:22,957 --> 00:27:25,874
most disorganized investigations
I've ever seen.

580
00:27:26,500 --> 00:27:29,332
You know, dozens and dozens of witnesses
in Dealey Plaza that day

581
00:27:29,416 --> 00:27:32,040
are saying they heard shots coming from
the grassy knoll area

582
00:27:32,124 --> 00:27:35,333
in front of Kennedy,
not the book depository behind him...

583
00:27:35,999 --> 00:27:38,290
but it's all broken down
and spread around,

584
00:27:38,374 --> 00:27:40,372
and you read it and the point gets lost.

585
00:27:40,874 --> 00:27:42,291
I never did believe it.

586
00:27:43,082 --> 00:27:45,665
Mattie, I'll do the dishes.
You take Eb on up.

587
00:27:46,249 --> 00:27:47,124
Night, baby.

588
00:27:47,208 --> 00:27:49,582
Elizabeth, honey, your bedtime, too.

589
00:27:49,790 --> 00:27:51,623
Honey, that was three years ago.

590
00:27:51,707 --> 00:27:53,748
We've all tried so hard to put it
out of our minds,

591
00:27:53,832 --> 00:27:55,832
you just keep digging it up again.

592
00:27:56,249 --> 00:27:57,874
You're the DA of New Orleans.

593
00:27:58,374 --> 00:28:02,170
Don't you think the Kennedy assassination
is a little bit out of your domain?

594
00:28:02,291 --> 00:28:04,499
I mean all those important people
already studied it.

595
00:28:04,582 --> 00:28:07,207
All right, I just can't believe a man as
intelligent as Earl Warren

596
00:28:07,291 --> 00:28:09,124
ever read what was in those volumes.

597
00:28:09,500 --> 00:28:10,332
Well...

598
00:28:10,416 --> 00:28:12,041
I mean, maybe you're right.

599
00:28:12,582 --> 00:28:14,730
I'll give you one hour
to solve the case...

600
00:28:15,124 --> 00:28:17,166
till I can get these kids in bed...

601
00:28:17,500 --> 00:28:19,374
and then you're mine,

602
00:28:19,540 --> 00:28:21,888
and Mr. Kennedy will have to wait
until morning.

603
00:28:26,832 --> 00:28:28,874
Daddy, look what I drew.

604
00:28:29,665 --> 00:28:31,332
Well that's something, Jasper.
What is it?

605
00:28:31,416 --> 00:28:33,623
- It's a rhino in a cage.
- Mm-hmm.

606
00:28:33,707 --> 00:28:36,623
- Can I stay up another hour?
- I don't think so, son.

607
00:28:36,707 --> 00:28:38,249
- Aw, Papa.
- Pickle and Snapper.

608
00:28:38,333 --> 00:28:41,291
My two favorite dancing partners.

609
00:28:41,416 --> 00:28:43,416
All right. Goodnight, doodle bugs.

610
00:28:43,790 --> 00:28:45,790
- Goodnight.
- One hour, you hear?

611
00:28:46,291 --> 00:28:48,458
- Hmm?
- Some Saturday night date you are.

612
00:28:49,291 --> 00:28:52,998
Mama warned me this would happen if I
married such a serious man as you.

613
00:28:53,082 --> 00:28:54,499
- Oh, she did, huh?
- Mm-hmm.

614
00:28:54,582 --> 00:28:55,374
Well, when I come up,

615
00:28:55,458 --> 00:28:57,332
I want to show you how Saturday
night got invented.

616
00:28:57,416 --> 00:28:58,248
All right?

617
00:29:22,540 --> 00:29:23,957
<i>I sealed off the area,</i>

618
00:29:24,041 --> 00:29:26,838
<i>and I held off the trains until they
could be examined...</i>

619
00:29:27,333 --> 00:29:30,790
<i>and there were some transients taken
on at least one train.</i>

620
00:29:32,416 --> 00:29:34,998
<i>Mr. Bowers,
I believe you already talked to us</i>

621
00:29:35,082 --> 00:29:37,915
<i>about this matter before your deposition,
is that correct?</i>

622
00:29:37,999 --> 00:29:39,208
<i>Yes.</i>

623
00:29:39,333 --> 00:29:41,540
<i>Now, is there anything else you told us</i>

624
00:29:41,624 --> 00:29:44,540
<i>that I haven't asked you about
that you can think of?</i>

625
00:29:46,082 --> 00:29:47,790
Nothing that I can recall.

626
00:29:48,916 --> 00:29:50,374
Witness is excused.

627
00:29:52,249 --> 00:29:53,957
Well, we got a long freight
that was in there.

628
00:29:54,041 --> 00:29:57,038
We pulled some people off there
and took them to the station.

629
00:30:00,582 --> 00:30:01,981
<i>Do you mean some transients?</i>

630
00:30:02,624 --> 00:30:03,915
Tramps and hobos.

631
00:30:03,999 --> 00:30:05,498
<i>And were all those questioned?</i>

632
00:30:05,832 --> 00:30:08,207
<i>Yes, sir, they were taken to
the station and questioned.</i>

633
00:30:08,291 --> 00:30:09,124
<i>And?</i>

634
00:30:09,208 --> 00:30:11,623
Ask the question, ask the question.

635
00:30:11,707 --> 00:30:14,165
<i>All right, let's go back
to that Amos Euins matter.</i>

636
00:30:14,249 --> 00:30:15,124
<i>Uh, yes, sir.</i>

637
00:30:15,790 --> 00:30:19,624
<i>Traffic had been cut off into the area
since about 10:00,</i>

638
00:30:19,790 --> 00:30:25,249
<i>but there were three cars that came in
during this time, from around noon</i>

639
00:30:25,333 --> 00:30:26,916
<i>till the time of the shooting.</i>

640
00:30:27,500 --> 00:30:30,374
<i>The cars circled the parking lot
and left,</i>

641
00:30:30,458 --> 00:30:32,416
like they was checking the area.

642
00:30:34,041 --> 00:30:38,500
<i>And one of the drivers seemed to have
something he was holding up to his mouth.</i>

643
00:30:40,291 --> 00:30:46,500
<i>That last car came in about seven to 10
minutes before the shooting.</i>

644
00:30:46,957 --> 00:30:50,957
<i>It was a white Chevrolet,
four-door Impala,</i>

645
00:30:51,041 --> 00:30:52,540
<i>muddy up to the windows.</i>

646
00:30:53,665 --> 00:30:56,457
Um...
towards the underpass,

647
00:30:56,540 --> 00:30:57,832
I saw two men.

648
00:30:57,916 --> 00:31:00,416
They were standing behind a picket fence.

649
00:31:00,957 --> 00:31:03,082
<i>They were looking up towards Main
and Houston,</i>

650
00:31:03,166 --> 00:31:05,416
<i>following the caravan as it came down.</i>

651
00:31:06,374 --> 00:31:10,582
<i>Uh... one of them was middle-aged,
heavyset.</i>

652
00:31:11,500 --> 00:31:13,041
<i>The other man was younger.</i>

653
00:31:14,041 --> 00:31:15,040
<i>There were two other men.</i>

654
00:31:15,124 --> 00:31:17,374
<i>They were on the eastern end of
the parking lot,</i>

655
00:31:17,458 --> 00:31:19,915
<i>and each of them had uniforms.</i>

656
00:31:19,999 --> 00:31:24,581
<i>At the time of the shooting,
there seemed to be some</i>

657
00:31:24,665 --> 00:31:25,874
commotion.

658
00:31:27,291 --> 00:31:29,916
I just am unable to describe...

659
00:31:31,249 --> 00:31:33,165
<i>A flash of light or smoke or</i>

660
00:31:33,249 --> 00:31:34,873
<i>something</i>

661
00:31:34,957 --> 00:31:36,540
<i>which caused me to feel that</i>

662
00:31:36,624 --> 00:31:39,290
<i>something out of the ordinary
had occurred there,</i>

663
00:31:39,374 --> 00:31:40,706
<i>on the embankment.</i>

664
00:31:40,790 --> 00:31:41,874
Goddamn.

665
00:31:59,082 --> 00:31:59,916
No!

666
00:32:02,540 --> 00:32:03,373
Jim?

667
00:32:05,500 --> 00:32:07,790
- You all right?
- Oh, honey, it's incredible.

668
00:32:08,832 --> 00:32:09,832
What?

669
00:32:10,624 --> 00:32:11,790
The whole thing.

670
00:32:12,999 --> 00:32:15,207
A lieutenant colonel testifies that

671
00:32:15,291 --> 00:32:19,374
Lee Oswald was given a Russian language
exam as part of his Marine training

672
00:32:19,458 --> 00:32:20,873
only a few months before he defects

673
00:32:20,957 --> 00:32:22,291
to the Soviet Union.

674
00:32:22,790 --> 00:32:24,623
- A Russian exam!
- I can't believe it.

675
00:32:24,707 --> 00:32:27,249
Honey,
it's 4:30 in the morning!

676
00:32:27,665 --> 00:32:28,581
I have five kids

677
00:32:28,665 --> 00:32:30,915
- gonna be awake in an hour and...
- Honey, in all my years in the military,

678
00:32:30,999 --> 00:32:33,696
I never knew a single man who was given
a Russian test.

679
00:32:35,082 --> 00:32:37,208
Oswald was a radar operator.
He...

680
00:32:37,540 --> 00:32:39,249
He'd have about as much use for...

681
00:32:39,333 --> 00:32:42,124
- For Russian as a cat has for pajamas.
- These books

682
00:32:42,208 --> 00:32:44,165
have gotten to your mind,
Mr. Garrison.

683
00:32:44,249 --> 00:32:45,165
And then this... this colonel.

684
00:32:45,249 --> 00:32:47,499
- He makes it sound like nothing, he says
-I wish you'd stop reading them.

685
00:32:47,582 --> 00:32:49,832
Oswald did badly on his test. He

686
00:32:49,916 --> 00:32:53,249
he got only two more Russian words
right than wrong.

687
00:32:53,540 --> 00:32:55,748
Ha! That's like me saying Touchdown here

688
00:32:55,832 --> 00:32:59,207
is not very intelligent because I beat him
three games out of five

689
00:32:59,291 --> 00:33:01,124
the last time we played chess.

690
00:33:01,208 --> 00:33:02,790
What? Are you gonna

691
00:33:02,874 --> 00:33:05,499
stay up all night every night, for what?

692
00:33:05,582 --> 00:33:08,957
So you'll be the only man in America
that's read all 26 volumes

693
00:33:09,041 --> 00:33:11,988
- of the Warren Report?
- Do I have to spell it out for you?

694
00:33:12,540 --> 00:33:15,082
Lee Oswald was no ordinary soldier,
he was...

695
00:33:16,208 --> 00:33:17,665
He was probably in military intelligence.

696
00:33:17,749 --> 00:33:19,040
That's why he was trained in Russian.

697
00:33:19,124 --> 00:33:21,082
- Let's go back to sleep.
- There's no accident he's in Russia.

698
00:33:21,166 --> 00:33:22,457
Let's go back to sleep.

699
00:33:22,540 --> 00:33:25,374
Goddammit, dear,
I've been sleeping for three years!

700
00:33:43,374 --> 00:33:44,458
Morning, boys.

701
00:33:44,874 --> 00:33:46,082
Ready for a walking tour?

702
00:33:46,166 --> 00:33:47,374
7:30 Sunday morning.

703
00:33:47,458 --> 00:33:50,040
It's not exactly fresh blood we're
sniffing here, boss.

704
00:33:50,124 --> 00:33:52,041
Old stains, Bill, but just as telling.

705
00:34:00,124 --> 00:34:01,874
531 Lafayette Street.

706
00:34:02,707 --> 00:34:04,832
Remember whose office this was in '63?

707
00:34:06,458 --> 00:34:08,124
Sure, Guy Banister.

708
00:34:08,832 --> 00:34:10,166
Ex-FBI man.

709
00:34:10,624 --> 00:34:11,916
Died couple years ago.

710
00:34:14,333 --> 00:34:16,374
<i>Banister headed the Chicago office.</i>

711
00:34:16,458 --> 00:34:18,705
<i>When he retired,
he became a private eye here.</i>

712
00:34:18,999 --> 00:34:20,498
I used to have lunch with him.

713
00:34:20,665 --> 00:34:22,374
John Birch Society, Minutemen.

714
00:34:22,458 --> 00:34:25,332
- Oh yeah, I remember him now.
- Slightly to the right of Attila the Hun.

715
00:34:25,416 --> 00:34:26,748
<i>He used to recruit college students</i>

716
00:34:26,832 --> 00:34:29,374
<i>to infiltrate radical organizations
on campus.</i>

717
00:34:29,999 --> 00:34:32,624
Headed the Anti-Communist League
of the Caribbean.

718
00:34:33,582 --> 00:34:34,832
All out of this office.

719
00:34:38,707 --> 00:34:41,005
Come around here,
I want to show you something.

720
00:34:45,416 --> 00:34:46,374
See that?

721
00:34:48,874 --> 00:34:50,208
Now, take a look here.

722
00:34:51,041 --> 00:34:52,832
544 Camp Street.

723
00:34:53,832 --> 00:34:55,707
531 Lafayette Street.

724
00:34:56,458 --> 00:34:57,582
Same building, right?

725
00:34:58,416 --> 00:35:00,748
But with different addresses and
different entrances,

726
00:35:00,832 --> 00:35:02,381
both going to the same place...

727
00:35:02,790 --> 00:35:04,333
to the office upstairs.

728
00:35:05,333 --> 00:35:06,749
Guess who used this address?

729
00:35:09,291 --> 00:35:10,749
<i>Lee Harvey Oswald.</i>

730
00:35:12,249 --> 00:35:13,874
<i>Now how do we know he was here?</i>

731
00:35:14,458 --> 00:35:15,998
'Cause this office address was stamped

732
00:35:16,082 --> 00:35:17,581
on the pro-Castro leaflets

733
00:35:17,665 --> 00:35:19,416
<i>he was handing out in the summer of '63</i>

734
00:35:19,500 --> 00:35:20,790
<i>down on Canal Street.</i>

735
00:35:21,416 --> 00:35:24,040
<i>Now these are the same leaflets they found
in his garage in Dallas.</i>

736
00:35:24,124 --> 00:35:25,208
What's this?

737
00:35:25,458 --> 00:35:27,290
What the hell is this doing on
this piece of paper?

738
00:35:27,374 --> 00:35:29,457
<i>After the arrest, 544 Camp Street</i>

739
00:35:29,540 --> 00:35:31,290
<i>never appeared on the pamphlets again.</i>

740
00:35:31,374 --> 00:35:32,500
Asshole.

741
00:35:32,749 --> 00:35:36,333
He was arrested that day for fighting with
some anti-Castro Cubans...

742
00:35:37,166 --> 00:35:38,499
<i>but actually he had contacted them</i>

743
00:35:38,582 --> 00:35:40,374
<i>a few days earlier as an ex-Marine</i>

744
00:35:40,458 --> 00:35:42,999
<i>trying to join their anti-Castro crusade.</i>

745
00:35:43,624 --> 00:35:45,790
<i>When they heard he was now pro-Castro...</i>

746
00:35:46,500 --> 00:35:47,999
<i>well, they paid him a visit.</i>

747
00:35:48,624 --> 00:35:49,832
<i>What is this Fidel shit?</i>

748
00:35:50,082 --> 00:35:51,957
<i>You lied to me, you hypocrite!</i>

749
00:35:52,416 --> 00:35:53,749
<i>Liar!
Son of a bitch!</i>

750
00:35:54,582 --> 00:35:55,748
<i>People, do not take this paper.</i>

751
00:35:55,832 --> 00:35:57,458
<i>This is communist propaganda.</i>

752
00:35:57,916 --> 00:36:00,040
<i>Carlos, if you want to hit me, hit me.</i>

753
00:36:00,124 --> 00:36:01,748
<i>Come on, you pinko shit.</i>

754
00:36:01,832 --> 00:36:03,457
<i>Go back to Moscow, communist!</i>

755
00:36:03,540 --> 00:36:05,124
<i>There was no real fight...</i>

756
00:36:05,416 --> 00:36:08,832
<i>and the arresting lieutenant later said
he felt it was a staged incident.</i>

757
00:36:08,916 --> 00:36:09,915
Break it up!

758
00:36:09,999 --> 00:36:12,207
<i>In jail, Oswald has a private session</i>

759
00:36:12,291 --> 00:36:14,916
<i>with Special Agent John Quigley
of the FBI.</i>

760
00:36:16,208 --> 00:36:17,540
<i>Oswald is released...</i>

761
00:36:17,790 --> 00:36:20,238
<i>and Quigley destroys his notes from
the interview.</i>

762
00:36:21,082 --> 00:36:23,879
The arrest gets him a lot of publicity
and as a result...

763
00:36:24,333 --> 00:36:26,873
Oswald appears on a local TV debate.

764
00:36:26,957 --> 00:36:29,082
But you... you are a communist,
are you not?

765
00:36:29,166 --> 00:36:30,458
Uh, no,
Mr. Bringuier.

766
00:36:30,790 --> 00:36:33,124
Uh, I am not a communist.

767
00:36:33,208 --> 00:36:34,499
I'm a Marxist-Leninist.

768
00:36:34,582 --> 00:36:36,957
You are not a communist,
but you are a Marxist-Leninist?

769
00:36:37,041 --> 00:36:38,082
What is the difference?

770
00:36:38,166 --> 00:36:39,290
<i>Now, here's another one for you.</i>

771
00:36:39,374 --> 00:36:40,915
What would you say if I told you...

772
00:36:40,999 --> 00:36:44,540
Lee Oswald was trained in the Russian
language when he was a Marine?

773
00:36:44,624 --> 00:36:46,790
I'd say he was probably getting
intelligence training.

774
00:36:46,874 --> 00:36:48,040
Well, Lou, you were in the Marines.

775
00:36:48,124 --> 00:36:49,290
Who would be running that training?

776
00:36:49,374 --> 00:36:50,916
Office of Naval Intelligence.

777
00:36:51,999 --> 00:36:53,498
Take a look across the street.

778
00:36:54,500 --> 00:36:55,374
Post office.

779
00:36:56,166 --> 00:36:59,957
Upstairs in 1963, that was the
Office of Naval Intelligence.

780
00:37:00,291 --> 00:37:03,957
And just by coincidence, Banister,
before he was FBI, was ONI.

781
00:37:04,624 --> 00:37:06,249
And what's that little saying they have?

782
00:37:06,333 --> 00:37:08,208
"Once ONI, always ONI."

783
00:37:08,500 --> 00:37:11,082
Well, he likes working near his old pals.

784
00:37:12,291 --> 00:37:13,124
Bill...

785
00:37:14,540 --> 00:37:17,332
Lou, we are standing in the heart of the
United States government's

786
00:37:17,416 --> 00:37:19,749
intelligence community in New Orleans.

787
00:37:20,291 --> 00:37:23,124
That's the FBI there, all right?
That's the CIA.

788
00:37:23,291 --> 00:37:24,832
That's the Secret Service.

789
00:37:24,916 --> 00:37:26,041
That's the ONI.

790
00:37:26,208 --> 00:37:27,416
Now, doesn't this seem to you

791
00:37:27,500 --> 00:37:30,957
a rather strange place for a communist
to spend his spare time?

792
00:37:34,500 --> 00:37:35,957
What you driving at, boss?

793
00:37:39,540 --> 00:37:41,339
We're going back into the case, Lou.

794
00:37:42,500 --> 00:37:43,790
Murder of the president.

795
00:37:44,249 --> 00:37:46,832
Good Lord,
wake me up, I must be dreaming.

796
00:37:46,916 --> 00:37:49,214
No, you're awake,
Bill, and I'm deadly serious.

797
00:37:49,458 --> 00:37:51,581
We're going to start by tracking down your
anonymous source

798
00:37:51,665 --> 00:37:52,714
from three years ago.

799
00:37:52,999 --> 00:37:55,946
Now how'd you find out David Ferrie drove
to Texas that day?

800
00:37:56,291 --> 00:37:57,998
Hell, I can't remember last night,

801
00:37:58,082 --> 00:37:59,790
let alone three years ago, boss.

802
00:38:04,665 --> 00:38:06,748
You're not under
cross-examination here, Jack.

803
00:38:06,832 --> 00:38:09,124
What I need is a little clarification
about the night

804
00:38:09,208 --> 00:38:11,006
Guy Banister beat you over the head.

805
00:38:11,665 --> 00:38:13,623
Now don't tell me you don't
remember that,

806
00:38:13,707 --> 00:38:15,290
all right, 'cause you called our office.

807
00:38:15,374 --> 00:38:17,082
You called our office from your
hospital bed,

808
00:38:17,166 --> 00:38:18,864
and you were hopping mad about it.

809
00:38:19,790 --> 00:38:21,124
Now, here's my problem.

810
00:38:21,916 --> 00:38:24,763
You told me you and Guy were good
friends for a long time.

811
00:38:24,999 --> 00:38:26,499
More than 10 years.

812
00:38:26,582 --> 00:38:29,380
- And he never hit you before?
- No, he never touched me.

813
00:38:30,249 --> 00:38:32,665
Yet on November 22nd, 1963,

814
00:38:32,749 --> 00:38:34,040
the day of the president's murder,

815
00:38:34,124 --> 00:38:36,416
the police report says...

816
00:38:37,540 --> 00:38:40,749
Says he pistol-whipped you with a
.357 Magnum.

817
00:38:41,374 --> 00:38:43,957
It also says you had an argument about
the phone bill.

818
00:38:44,041 --> 00:38:45,873
Here, take a look at it.

819
00:38:45,957 --> 00:38:48,332
Well, does a simple argument over a
phone bill sound like

820
00:38:48,416 --> 00:38:50,041
a believable explanation to you?

821
00:38:53,249 --> 00:38:54,707
There's more to it than that.

822
00:38:56,249 --> 00:38:57,291
How much more?

823
00:38:57,832 --> 00:38:59,581
I don't think I should talk about it.

824
00:38:59,665 --> 00:39:01,790
Well, I'd ask Guy,
we were friendly, you know.

825
00:39:01,874 --> 00:39:03,082
Heart attack, wasn't it?

826
00:39:03,582 --> 00:39:05,458
You buy what you read in the papers.

827
00:39:05,624 --> 00:39:06,665
You have other information?

828
00:39:06,749 --> 00:39:08,374
- I didn't say that.
- You have other information?

829
00:39:08,458 --> 00:39:11,208
I didn't say that. All I know is that
he died suddenly.

830
00:39:11,957 --> 00:39:14,291
Just before the Warren Report came out.

831
00:39:16,249 --> 00:39:17,624
Why did Guy beat you, Jack?

832
00:39:19,999 --> 00:39:23,582
<i>You didn't see a goddamn thing!
You didn't see a goddamn thing!</i>

833
00:39:26,124 --> 00:39:27,772
You're the only one in the place!

834
00:39:34,041 --> 00:39:36,166
<i>You didn't see a goddamn thing!</i>

835
00:39:36,790 --> 00:39:39,665
Oh, hell. I guess since Guy's dead,
it don't matter no more.

836
00:39:39,749 --> 00:39:41,957
It was about all those

837
00:39:42,041 --> 00:39:45,458
people that was hanging around the office
that summer.

838
00:39:46,458 --> 00:39:48,832
See, I was never part of the operation,
you know.

839
00:39:48,916 --> 00:39:51,040
I was just there taking care of their
private eye work,

840
00:39:51,124 --> 00:39:52,706
you know, as it came in for Guy.

841
00:39:52,790 --> 00:39:54,999
Not much did, but that's why I was there.

842
00:39:56,999 --> 00:39:58,832
<i>It was a nuthouse.</i>

843
00:39:59,832 --> 00:40:02,040
<i>All the Cubans coming and going.</i>

844
00:40:02,124 --> 00:40:04,422
<i>I mean, Christ,
they all looked the same to me.</i>

845
00:40:05,749 --> 00:40:08,499
You gonna play with this rifle or you
gonna pack it? Come on.

846
00:40:08,582 --> 00:40:10,124
<i>Dave Ferrie.</i>

847
00:40:10,291 --> 00:40:11,291
You know about him?

848
00:40:11,749 --> 00:40:13,832
- Yeah, we know Dave. Was he there?
- Mmm.

849
00:40:13,916 --> 00:40:15,207
<i>Christ, he practically lived there.</i>

850
00:40:15,291 --> 00:40:16,832
Don't fuck this one up.

851
00:40:18,166 --> 00:40:20,581
<i>See, the whole thing it was</i>

852
00:40:20,665 --> 00:40:22,873
<i>the whole cloak and dagger stuff,
you know.</i>

853
00:40:22,957 --> 00:40:25,041
They called it
"Operation Mongoose."

854
00:40:26,957 --> 00:40:29,665
Whole idea was they were gonna train
these Cuban exiles, you know,

855
00:40:29,749 --> 00:40:31,832
- for another invasion of Cuba.
- Mm-hmm.

856
00:40:31,916 --> 00:40:33,124
<i>Why, hell, Banister's office,</i>

857
00:40:33,208 --> 00:40:35,124
<i>that was part of the supply line,
you know,</i>

858
00:40:35,208 --> 00:40:36,832
<i>from Dallas through New Orleans to Miami.</i>

859
00:40:36,916 --> 00:40:39,500
<i>They were stockpiling arms, explosives.</i>

860
00:40:39,749 --> 00:40:41,957
<i>All this right under the noses of
the intelligence community</i>

861
00:40:42,041 --> 00:40:44,124
<i>- in Lafayette Square?
- Yeah, oh yeah.</i>

862
00:40:44,208 --> 00:40:45,748
<i>Everybody knew everybody, you know,</i>

863
00:40:45,832 --> 00:40:47,530
<i>they were all part of the network.</i>

864
00:40:47,874 --> 00:40:50,416
They were all working for the CIA!

865
00:40:50,500 --> 00:40:52,998
You know, pilots,
and them Black Operators,

866
00:40:53,082 --> 00:40:55,540
and the... the civilians,
and military.

867
00:40:55,624 --> 00:40:58,540
Hell, everybody in those days was
running guns somewhere.

868
00:40:59,082 --> 00:41:02,499
<i>Fort Jefferson, Bayou Bluff,
Morgan City, you name it.</i>

869
00:41:02,582 --> 00:41:05,416
<i>Oh, McAllen, Texas,
yeah, big gun-running operation.</i>

870
00:41:09,665 --> 00:41:12,082
<i>Banister. Now, tell</i>... <i>where...
Where does he fit in all this?</i>

871
00:41:12,166 --> 00:41:14,623
<i>He was running his camp up north
of Lake Pontchartrain.</i>

872
00:41:14,707 --> 00:41:16,998
<i>You know, Ferrie was doing a lot
of the training.</i>

873
00:41:17,082 --> 00:41:18,957
<i>They had a shooting range.</i>

874
00:41:19,166 --> 00:41:22,013
<i>Lot of tropical territory, you know,
like you got in Cuba.</i>

875
00:41:22,291 --> 00:41:24,124
<i>Some Americans were trained there, too.</i>

876
00:41:24,208 --> 00:41:27,041
<i>A few. Nazi types, mercenaries.</i>

877
00:41:27,790 --> 00:41:30,333
<i>Ferrie, though,
Jesus, he was the craziest.</i>

878
00:41:32,166 --> 00:41:33,499
<i>Anyway, late summer, the whole</i>

879
00:41:33,582 --> 00:41:34,790
<i>the party was over.</i>

880
00:41:34,874 --> 00:41:38,221
<i>'Cause Kennedy didn't want another one
of them Bay of Pigs, so he...</i>

881
00:41:38,707 --> 00:41:40,832
<i>he told the FBI, "Shut up the camps,"</i>

882
00:41:40,916 --> 00:41:44,249
<i>you know, and confiscate the napalm,
C-4, and the stuff like that.</i>

883
00:41:44,540 --> 00:41:45,915
<i>So I think that the G-men,</i>

884
00:41:45,999 --> 00:41:48,040
<i>they were just going through the motions
for Washington.</i>

885
00:41:48,124 --> 00:41:52,082
<i>See, their hearts were still with their
old FBI buddy Banister.</i>

886
00:41:54,333 --> 00:41:55,208
Oswald?

887
00:41:59,041 --> 00:41:59,873
Yeah.

888
00:42:00,208 --> 00:42:01,873
- Yeah, what?
- He was there, too. He was there.

889
00:42:01,957 --> 00:42:04,874
<i>He was there,
sometimes meeting with Banister.</i>

890
00:42:05,208 --> 00:42:08,005
Give me an allowance, you know,
because I got expenses...

891
00:42:08,166 --> 00:42:09,333
<i>With the door shut.</i>

892
00:42:11,333 --> 00:42:12,416
<i>Other times</i>

893
00:42:12,500 --> 00:42:14,915
<i>you know, shooting the bull with Ferrie,</i>

894
00:42:14,999 --> 00:42:16,665
<i>whatever, but he was there, all right.</i>

895
00:42:16,749 --> 00:42:18,665
Anything more specific, Jack?

896
00:42:19,124 --> 00:42:20,208
It's important.

897
00:42:24,082 --> 00:42:27,040
<i>One time the secretary got upset,
I remember.</i>

898
00:42:27,124 --> 00:42:28,416
I can't believe it,
Mr. Banister.

899
00:42:28,500 --> 00:42:30,165
Lee Oswald is down on Canal Street

900
00:42:30,249 --> 00:42:32,957
handing out communist leaflets
supporting Castro.

901
00:42:38,082 --> 00:42:39,581
It's okay, Delphine.

902
00:42:39,665 --> 00:42:42,291
He's with us, it's okay.

903
00:42:43,416 --> 00:42:46,333
Was anyone else involved at
Banister's level?

904
00:42:47,500 --> 00:42:49,957
Oh, yeah. One guy, I don't know.

905
00:42:50,458 --> 00:42:52,249
<i>Big, white hair.</i>

906
00:42:53,166 --> 00:42:54,790
<i>I saw him come in the office once,</i>

907
00:42:54,874 --> 00:42:56,790
<i>but he looked out of place.</i>

908
00:42:56,999 --> 00:42:58,790
<i>You know, like a society guy.</i>

909
00:42:59,291 --> 00:43:01,988
<i>And I can't remember his name,
but Oswald was with him.</i>

910
00:43:04,124 --> 00:43:06,540
<i>But he had something to do with money
'cause Banister, you know,</i>

911
00:43:06,624 --> 00:43:07,957
<i>he never kissed anybody's ass...</i>

912
00:43:08,041 --> 00:43:09,124
<i>Ooh, he kissed his.</i>

913
00:43:15,582 --> 00:43:17,249
<i>I don't... uh...</i>

914
00:43:17,333 --> 00:43:18,748
<i>Clay something.</i>

915
00:43:18,832 --> 00:43:20,207
<i>Yeah.
That was his name, Clay.</i>

916
00:43:20,291 --> 00:43:21,374
- Clay.
- Bertrand?

917
00:43:21,458 --> 00:43:23,040
- Bertrand, yeah! Yeah, that...
- Clay Bertrand.

918
00:43:23,124 --> 00:43:24,706
- Clay Bertrand.
- Well, I don't know.

919
00:43:24,790 --> 00:43:25,581
I don't know.

920
00:43:25,665 --> 00:43:27,581
- Uh... maybe not. I got to go.
- No, that's right. Clay Bertrand.

921
00:43:27,665 --> 00:43:29,124
- No, no. That's right.
- No, I got to go.

922
00:43:29,208 --> 00:43:31,755
He was in the Warren Report.
He got Oswald a lawyer.

923
00:43:32,624 --> 00:43:35,122
- Was Kennedy ever discussed, Jack?
- I don't know.

924
00:43:36,041 --> 00:43:37,790
- The assassination, Jack?
- No.

925
00:43:37,874 --> 00:43:38,915
Never. Not with me.

926
00:43:38,999 --> 00:43:40,457
- Look, I've... I got to go.
- Hold on.

927
00:43:40,540 --> 00:43:41,748
- That's all I'm gonna say.
- Hold on, Jack.

928
00:43:41,832 --> 00:43:44,280
- I've said enough.
- Hold on. What's the problem?

929
00:43:44,458 --> 00:43:46,555
- What's the problem?
- What's the problem?

930
00:43:47,208 --> 00:43:49,416
Do I have to spell it out for you,
Mr. Garrison?

931
00:43:49,500 --> 00:43:52,124
Nobody knows what we're talking
about, here, Jack.

932
00:43:53,665 --> 00:43:55,582
Oh, you are so naïve.

933
00:44:05,832 --> 00:44:08,165
When'd you first do business
with this Bertrand?

934
00:44:08,249 --> 00:44:10,165
Pipe the bimbo in red.

935
00:44:10,249 --> 00:44:12,290
Mm-hmm. Lordy.

936
00:44:12,374 --> 00:44:13,374
Yeah, she's cute all right,

937
00:44:13,458 --> 00:44:14,998
but not half as cute as you, Deano.

938
00:44:15,082 --> 00:44:16,040
Thank you.

939
00:44:16,124 --> 00:44:18,290
You should try a legitimate line
of business.

940
00:44:18,374 --> 00:44:20,290
Why are you dancing on my head for,
my man?

941
00:44:20,374 --> 00:44:22,416
We been thicker than molasses pie
since law school.

942
00:44:22,500 --> 00:44:24,207
'Cause you keep conning me, Dean,
I read your testimony

943
00:44:24,291 --> 00:44:25,832
- to the Warren Commission...
- There you go again!

944
00:44:25,916 --> 00:44:27,332
- Grain of salt!
- You tell them the day after

945
00:44:27,416 --> 00:44:28,499
- Two sides to every coin!
- The assassination,

946
00:44:28,582 --> 00:44:30,374
you're called on the phone by this
Clay Bertrand

947
00:44:30,458 --> 00:44:32,915
and asked to fly to Dallas and be
Lee Oswald's lawyer.

948
00:44:32,999 --> 00:44:33,831
Right.

949
00:44:34,665 --> 00:44:36,208
That's pretty important, Dean.

950
00:44:36,916 --> 00:44:38,665
You also told the FBI that,
when you met him,

951
00:44:38,749 --> 00:44:39,623
he's six foot two,

952
00:44:39,707 --> 00:44:41,748
then you tell the Commission
he's five foot eight.

953
00:44:41,832 --> 00:44:44,330
Now how the hell does a man
shrink like that, Dean?

954
00:44:44,582 --> 00:44:47,207
They put the heat on,
my man, just like you're doing.

955
00:44:47,291 --> 00:44:49,665
I gave them anything that popped in
my cabeza.

956
00:44:49,832 --> 00:44:51,500
Truth is, I never met the dude.

957
00:44:51,790 --> 00:44:54,915
Oh, wonderful.
One likes friends that have friends.

958
00:44:54,999 --> 00:44:55,748
Indeed.

959
00:44:55,832 --> 00:44:57,082
I don't know what the cat looks like,

960
00:44:57,166 --> 00:44:59,040
and, furthermore,
I don't know where he's at.

961
00:44:59,124 --> 00:45:01,957
All I know is sometimes he sends me
some cases.

962
00:45:02,124 --> 00:45:03,374
So one day he's on the phone,

963
00:45:03,458 --> 00:45:05,915
talking to me about going to Dallas,
repping Oswald.

964
00:45:05,999 --> 00:45:07,665
Did you ever speak to Oswald in Dallas?

965
00:45:07,749 --> 00:45:08,499
Hell, no.

966
00:45:08,582 --> 00:45:10,332
Like I told that Bertrand cat
right off...

967
00:45:10,416 --> 00:45:11,207
Cashew piece?

968
00:45:11,291 --> 00:45:12,290
<i>This ain't my scene, man.</i>

969
00:45:12,374 --> 00:45:14,623
I deal in muni court.
I'm a hack in nigger town.

970
00:45:14,707 --> 00:45:17,416
Then how'd the hell did your name get in
the Warren Commission, Dean?

971
00:45:17,500 --> 00:45:19,790
Like I told to the Washington boys,

972
00:45:19,874 --> 00:45:21,207
Bertrand called that summer

973
00:45:21,291 --> 00:45:23,957
and asked me to help the kid upgrade
his Marine discharge.

974
00:45:24,041 --> 00:45:25,873
Well, I was led to believe that, uh,

975
00:45:25,957 --> 00:45:28,499
Mr. Bertrand said that he would
take care of any...

976
00:45:28,582 --> 00:45:29,332
Oh, that's fine.

977
00:45:29,416 --> 00:45:30,623
Hello, to whom am I speaking?

978
00:45:30,707 --> 00:45:33,207
<i>I'm Clay Bertrand.
Whatever they owe, I guarantee.</i>

979
00:45:33,291 --> 00:45:34,499
There wasn't no conspiracy, Jim.

980
00:45:34,582 --> 00:45:37,915
If there were, why the hell didn't Bobby
Kennedy prosecute it as attorney general?

981
00:45:37,999 --> 00:45:39,897
He was his brother, for Christ's sake.

982
00:45:40,540 --> 00:45:43,915
How the fuck all those people could keep
a secret like that, I don't know.

983
00:45:43,999 --> 00:45:44,998
It was Oswald.

984
00:45:45,082 --> 00:45:46,623
- He was a fruitcake, you know.
- I think we're having

985
00:45:46,707 --> 00:45:47,957
- Hated this country.
- A communication problem, Dean.

986
00:45:48,041 --> 00:45:50,040
I know you know who Clay
Bertrand is, all right?

987
00:45:50,124 --> 00:45:52,665
Now stop eating that damn crabmeat
a minute and listen.

988
00:45:52,749 --> 00:45:54,248
I'm aware of our friendship...

989
00:45:54,916 --> 00:45:57,873
but I want you to know I'm gonna call you
in front of the grand jury.

990
00:45:57,957 --> 00:46:00,416
And you lie to the grand jury as
you've been lying to me,

991
00:46:00,500 --> 00:46:01,998
I'm gonna charge you with perjury.

992
00:46:02,082 --> 00:46:04,957
All right, I took nine judges on right
here in New Orleans, Deano.

993
00:46:05,041 --> 00:46:05,873
I beat 'em all.

994
00:46:06,166 --> 00:46:07,874
So am I communicating with you?

995
00:46:09,707 --> 00:46:11,306
Is this off the record, Daddy-o?

996
00:46:12,500 --> 00:46:13,249
Good.

997
00:46:13,333 --> 00:46:15,780
In that case,
let me sum it up for you real quick.

998
00:46:20,041 --> 00:46:22,249
If I answer that question you
keep asking...

999
00:46:23,665 --> 00:46:26,413
if I give you the name of the
big enchilada, you know...

1000
00:46:27,832 --> 00:46:29,290
then it's "bon voyage, Deano."

1001
00:46:29,374 --> 00:46:30,374
I mean like permanent.

1002
00:46:30,458 --> 00:46:32,505
I mean like a bullet in my head, you dig?

1003
00:46:32,790 --> 00:46:34,624
You're a mouse fighting a gorilla.

1004
00:46:34,999 --> 00:46:36,797
Kennedy is as dead as that crabmeat.

1005
00:46:37,124 --> 00:46:38,207
The government's still breathing.

1006
00:46:38,291 --> 00:46:40,207
- You wanna line up with a dead man?
- Read my lips, Deano.

1007
00:46:40,291 --> 00:46:43,457
Either you dance into the grand jury with
the real identity of Clay Bertrand

1008
00:46:43,540 --> 00:46:45,290
or your fat behind is going to
the slammer.

1009
00:46:45,374 --> 00:46:46,332
Now, do you dig me?

1010
00:46:46,416 --> 00:46:48,208
You're as crazy as your mama.

1011
00:46:48,790 --> 00:46:50,339
Goes to show it's in the genes.

1012
00:46:50,458 --> 00:46:53,290
You have any idea what you're getting
yourself into, Daddy-o?

1013
00:46:53,374 --> 00:46:56,021
The government's gonna jump all over
your head, Jimbo,

1014
00:46:56,166 --> 00:46:57,832
and go "cock-a-doodle-doo."

1015
00:46:58,416 --> 00:46:59,582
Good day to you, sir.

1016
00:47:05,291 --> 00:47:08,291
<i>District Attorney
Garrison to see Prisoner 5388...</i>

1017
00:47:08,832 --> 00:47:10,582
<i>Ward Block 237B.</i>

1018
00:47:24,249 --> 00:47:27,082
We don't need no gates out there
with that swamp.

1019
00:47:27,500 --> 00:47:30,147
Many of 'em gone in there,
ain't none of 'em come out.

1020
00:47:36,707 --> 00:47:37,539
Hey, Willie!

1021
00:47:38,082 --> 00:47:38,999
O'Keefe!

1022
00:47:45,041 --> 00:47:46,333
You got visitors here.

1023
00:47:46,500 --> 00:47:48,706
You don't give 'em no trouble now,
you hear me boy?

1024
00:47:48,790 --> 00:47:51,537
- How you doing, Mr. Broussard?
- Hey, let's go, Willie.

1025
00:48:03,832 --> 00:48:06,180
I want to thank you,
Mr. O'Keefe, for this time.

1026
00:48:06,957 --> 00:48:09,082
I ain't got nothin' but time,
Mr. Garrison.

1027
00:48:09,416 --> 00:48:11,707
Minutes, hours, days, years of 'em.

1028
00:48:12,208 --> 00:48:14,249
Time just stands still here,

1029
00:48:14,333 --> 00:48:16,707
like a snake sunnin' itself on the road.

1030
00:48:17,082 --> 00:48:18,291
Clay Bertrand, Willie?

1031
00:48:19,540 --> 00:48:20,540
Yeah, Clay.

1032
00:48:22,124 --> 00:48:27,582
I met him sometime in June of '62 at the
Masquerade Bar.

1033
00:48:27,957 --> 00:48:31,249
Dave Ferrie took me there,
for the express reason to meet him.

1034
00:48:31,333 --> 00:48:32,582
For sexual purposes?

1035
00:48:32,832 --> 00:48:33,707
Well, yeah.

1036
00:48:34,208 --> 00:48:35,582
Did he pay you for this?

1037
00:48:35,790 --> 00:48:37,665
Twenty dollars each time.
Hell, ain't no secret.

1038
00:48:37,749 --> 00:48:39,098
That's why I'm in here for.

1039
00:48:39,500 --> 00:48:41,748
Anything else unusual about him
you'd be able

1040
00:48:41,832 --> 00:48:43,374
<i>to describe in a court of law?</i>

1041
00:48:43,458 --> 00:48:45,998
<i>I remember he had some kinda
thing wrong with his leg.</i>

1042
00:48:46,082 --> 00:48:47,832
<i>He'd limp.
You know, don't get me wrong,</i>

1043
00:48:47,916 --> 00:48:49,714
<i>he's not one of those "limp wrists."</i>

1044
00:48:49,916 --> 00:48:52,873
<i>He's a butch John, I mean, you'd meet him
on the street, you'd never snap.</i>

1045
00:48:52,957 --> 00:48:54,706
<i>You could play poker with him,</i>

1046
00:48:54,790 --> 00:48:55,873
<i>go fishing with the man,</i>

1047
00:48:55,957 --> 00:48:57,755
<i>you'd never snap in a million years.</i>

1048
00:48:58,208 --> 00:49:00,706
One night we was over at Dave Ferrie's
place having a party.

1049
00:49:00,790 --> 00:49:03,916
<i>It was sometime late in the
summer of '63.</i>

1050
00:49:05,458 --> 00:49:08,623
<i>There was about nine or 10
people there. Cubans.</i>

1051
00:49:08,707 --> 00:49:11,623
<i>You know, friends of Dave, been doing
some stuff in the bush with him.</i>

1052
00:49:11,707 --> 00:49:14,624
<i>Place was a mess, man.
Dave's mind was a mess.</i>

1053
00:49:14,790 --> 00:49:18,374
<i>Has all these mice cages all over 'cause
he's working on this cure for cancer.</i>

1054
00:49:18,458 --> 00:49:20,040
<i>Viva Cuba libre!</i>

1055
00:49:20,124 --> 00:49:21,772
<i>Dave's smart, though, he's sharp.</i>

1056
00:49:21,874 --> 00:49:23,249
<i>Speaks five languages.</i>

1057
00:49:23,458 --> 00:49:27,999
<i>He knows philosophy, medicine,
military history, politics.</i>

1058
00:49:28,624 --> 00:49:30,423
Said he wanted to be a priest but...

1059
00:49:30,707 --> 00:49:32,655
they defrocked him 'cause he was queer.

1060
00:49:32,790 --> 00:49:35,124
And that's where you met Oswald for
the first time?

1061
00:49:35,208 --> 00:49:36,873
Yeah, strange guy.

1062
00:49:36,957 --> 00:49:38,249
<i>Dave introduced him as...</i>

1063
00:49:38,333 --> 00:49:39,873
Willie, why don't you say hello to
Leon Oswald.

1064
00:49:39,957 --> 00:49:41,156
Hey, how you doing, man?

1065
00:49:42,333 --> 00:49:43,881
What the fuck is he doing here?

1066
00:49:44,458 --> 00:49:45,873
Fuck you, motherfucker!

1067
00:49:45,957 --> 00:49:47,581
Okay, okay, come on, come on, come on.

1068
00:49:47,665 --> 00:49:49,581
Leon's in a bad mood.

1069
00:49:49,665 --> 00:49:51,364
Don't get excited, he's all right.

1070
00:49:51,916 --> 00:49:54,665
Would you say that this "Leon" was
actually Lee Harvey Oswald?

1071
00:49:54,749 --> 00:49:55,581
Fuck yeah!

1072
00:49:55,749 --> 00:49:57,623
Hey, man, I got no reason to lie to you.

1073
00:49:57,707 --> 00:49:59,166
I'm already in jail.

1074
00:49:59,749 --> 00:50:00,623
Go on, Willie.

1075
00:50:00,707 --> 00:50:02,040
Finally, they got outta there,

1076
00:50:02,124 --> 00:50:04,540
and I found myself alone with Dave

1077
00:50:04,624 --> 00:50:06,165
and this Leon,

1078
00:50:06,249 --> 00:50:07,332
two of the Cubans,

1079
00:50:07,416 --> 00:50:08,998
and this guy Bertrand.

1080
00:50:09,082 --> 00:50:09,915
Kennedy.

1081
00:50:09,999 --> 00:50:11,124
- Kennedy.
<i>- Dave pulled out these clippings</i>

1082
00:50:11,208 --> 00:50:12,623
- Kennedy, fuckin' Kennedy!
<i>- He'd been carrying around, you know...</i>

1083
00:50:12,707 --> 00:50:14,040
-He fucked us
<i>-He'd been obsessed with Castro</i>

1084
00:50:14,124 --> 00:50:15,332
-in '61 and '62
<i>-And Kennedy for months.</i>

1085
00:50:15,416 --> 00:50:16,915
- And he's fuckin' us now!
<i>- He started in again.</i>

1086
00:50:16,999 --> 00:50:18,873
Fuckin' little asswipe
closed down the camps,

1087
00:50:18,957 --> 00:50:20,457
took all our C-4,

1088
00:50:20,540 --> 00:50:24,623
took 10,000 fuckin' rounds,
3,000 pounds of gunpowder,

1089
00:50:24,707 --> 00:50:26,165
all our fuckin' weapons!

1090
00:50:26,249 --> 00:50:27,623
I tell ya...

1091
00:50:27,707 --> 00:50:29,207
Shit, you wanna free Cuba?

1092
00:50:29,291 --> 00:50:30,832
You got to whack out the fuckin' Beard.

1093
00:50:30,916 --> 00:50:32,165
Yeah, well,
that faggot Kennedy won't let us.

1094
00:50:32,249 --> 00:50:33,790
Our hands are empty, how can we kill him?

1095
00:50:33,874 --> 00:50:36,832
It's a real problem getting at him,
Castro has informers on every block.

1096
00:50:36,916 --> 00:50:38,957
Bullshit.
They got all kinds of new stuff.

1097
00:50:39,041 --> 00:50:42,249
I can show you dozens of fuckin' poisons.
Just stick it in his food.

1098
00:50:42,333 --> 00:50:43,623
He'd die in three days.

1099
00:50:43,707 --> 00:50:44,915
No trace!

1100
00:50:44,999 --> 00:50:46,915
We can put something in his beard,
make his beard fall out.

1101
00:50:46,999 --> 00:50:48,915
He'll look fuckin' ridiculous without
his beard.

1102
00:50:48,999 --> 00:50:51,623
The real problem is...
is that fucking Kennedy.

1103
00:50:51,707 --> 00:50:53,306
He's doing all kinds of deals...

1104
00:50:54,540 --> 00:50:56,500
Khrushchev. Licking his ass.

1105
00:50:58,291 --> 00:51:01,207
An inspired act of God should
happen here, okay?

1106
00:51:01,291 --> 00:51:03,039
And put a Texan in the White House!

1107
00:51:05,166 --> 00:51:06,291
Then the Cubans left.

1108
00:51:06,707 --> 00:51:08,706
Dave was drunk now, really drunk.

1109
00:51:08,790 --> 00:51:11,082
<i>He started in on Kennedy again.</i>

1110
00:51:11,166 --> 00:51:12,249
'Cause I will kill.

1111
00:51:12,333 --> 00:51:14,873
Right in the White House,
I'll stab him right in his fuckin' heart!

1112
00:51:14,957 --> 00:51:17,040
Somebody got to get rid of this fucker.

1113
00:51:17,124 --> 00:51:17,999
Come on, Dave.

1114
00:51:18,582 --> 00:51:20,374
You ain't never gonna get that
son of a bitch.

1115
00:51:20,458 --> 00:51:22,665
No? It won't be long,
mark my words.

1116
00:51:22,749 --> 00:51:24,790
That fucker'll get what's coming to him.

1117
00:51:24,874 --> 00:51:26,165
It can be blamed on Castro.

1118
00:51:26,249 --> 00:51:27,665
The whole country'll want to invade Cuba.

1119
00:51:27,749 --> 00:51:29,416
All we got to do is get Kennedy in
the open.

1120
00:51:29,500 --> 00:51:33,790
David, David, always some harebrained
scheme or another.

1121
00:51:34,416 --> 00:51:35,248
Oh!

1122
00:51:36,458 --> 00:51:38,748
What have we here?
Let's have some more champagne.

1123
00:51:38,832 --> 00:51:40,290
Shall we?

1124
00:51:40,374 --> 00:51:42,416
What about the Secret Service, the cops?

1125
00:51:43,458 --> 00:51:44,790
If it's planned right, it's no problem.

1126
00:51:44,874 --> 00:51:46,822
Look how close they got with de Gaulle.

1127
00:51:47,166 --> 00:51:49,207
Eisenhower was always
riding around in an open top.

1128
00:51:49,291 --> 00:51:51,888
We need three mechanics in three
different locations.

1129
00:51:52,582 --> 00:51:54,780
An office building with a
high-powered rifle.

1130
00:51:55,790 --> 00:51:57,888
Triangulation of crossfire,
that's the key.

1131
00:51:58,707 --> 00:51:59,790
That's the key.

1132
00:51:59,999 --> 00:52:02,873
The diversionary shot gets the Secret
Service looking the other way.

1133
00:52:02,957 --> 00:52:04,406
Boom! You get the kill shot.

1134
00:52:05,707 --> 00:52:08,208
The crucial thing is one man has to
be sacrificed.

1135
00:52:09,041 --> 00:52:11,374
Then, in the commotion of the crowd,
the job gets done.

1136
00:52:11,458 --> 00:52:13,832
The others fly out of the country to
someplace with no extradition.

1137
00:52:13,916 --> 00:52:15,665
Why don't we drop this subject

1138
00:52:15,749 --> 00:52:18,332
it's one thing to engage in badinage
with all these youngsters,

1139
00:52:18,416 --> 00:52:21,748
but this sort of thing could be so
easily misunderstood.

1140
00:52:21,832 --> 00:52:23,416
Ouch! Ow! Ouch!

1141
00:52:23,500 --> 00:52:25,332
<i>I didn't think much about it at the time.</i>

1142
00:52:25,416 --> 00:52:26,706
<i>It's just bullshit, you know.</i>

1143
00:52:26,790 --> 00:52:29,665
Everybody likes to make themselves out to
be something more than they are.

1144
00:52:29,749 --> 00:52:32,041
Especially in the homosexual underworld.

1145
00:52:33,333 --> 00:52:34,916
But when they got him, man...

1146
00:52:35,416 --> 00:52:36,749
I got scared...

1147
00:52:37,208 --> 00:52:38,208
Real scared.

1148
00:52:39,124 --> 00:52:40,332
And that's when I got popped.

1149
00:52:40,416 --> 00:52:41,957
You realize the things you're
saying, Willie,

1150
00:52:42,041 --> 00:52:43,915
are gonna be attacked by a lot of
different people.

1151
00:52:43,999 --> 00:52:46,499
Oh, bring all those
motherfuckers on, man!

1152
00:52:46,582 --> 00:52:48,998
Bring their college degrees in here,
I got nothin' to hide.

1153
00:52:49,082 --> 00:52:50,040
You can't buy me.

1154
00:52:50,124 --> 00:52:51,540
- They can't buy me.
- I don't wanna buy you.

1155
00:52:51,624 --> 00:52:52,873
- I don't even need this damn parole.
- Nobody...

1156
00:52:52,957 --> 00:52:55,124
- What are you talking about, parole?
- See, this is about the truth coming out.

1157
00:52:55,208 --> 00:52:57,457
You a goddamn liberal, Mr. Garrison.
You don't know shit

1158
00:52:57,540 --> 00:52:59,790
'cause you never been fucked in the ass!

1159
00:52:59,874 --> 00:53:02,207
This ain't about justice.
You think this is about justice?

1160
00:53:02,291 --> 00:53:03,957
No, this is about order.

1161
00:53:04,041 --> 00:53:05,207
Who rules.

1162
00:53:05,291 --> 00:53:07,040
'Cause, see, fascism is coming back.

1163
00:53:07,124 --> 00:53:10,124
Nobody wants to buy you,
no one's promising you a parole, here.

1164
00:53:10,208 --> 00:53:12,206
I want to be perfectly clear about that.

1165
00:53:12,458 --> 00:53:14,041
What I need to know is why.

1166
00:53:14,416 --> 00:53:15,165
All right?

1167
00:53:15,249 --> 00:53:16,916
Why are you telling us this?

1168
00:53:17,333 --> 00:53:19,706
'Cause that motherfucker Kennedy

1169
00:53:19,790 --> 00:53:22,748
stole that motherfucking election,
that's why.

1170
00:53:22,832 --> 00:53:23,581
Nixon

1171
00:53:23,665 --> 00:53:26,581
was gonna be one of the great presidents
till Kennedy wrecked this country.

1172
00:53:26,665 --> 00:53:28,957
Got niggers all over the place asking for
their damn rights.

1173
00:53:29,041 --> 00:53:31,165
Why you think we got all this crime now?

1174
00:53:31,249 --> 00:53:33,873
He promised those motherfuckers too
goddamn much, you ask me.

1175
00:53:33,957 --> 00:53:35,665
Revolution's coming, bullshit, man.

1176
00:53:35,749 --> 00:53:37,165
Fascism is coming back.

1177
00:53:37,249 --> 00:53:38,540
I'm gonna tell you this.

1178
00:53:38,665 --> 00:53:41,790
The day that communist son of a bitch died
was a great day...

1179
00:53:41,874 --> 00:53:44,291
A great day for this country.

1180
00:53:44,416 --> 00:53:48,499
And I just hate to think that they blame
it on some silly fuckin' Oswald.

1181
00:53:48,582 --> 00:53:52,082
Didn't know shit anyway, man.
People got to know.

1182
00:53:52,166 --> 00:53:54,014
People got to know why he was killed.

1183
00:53:54,916 --> 00:53:56,623
Because he was

1184
00:53:56,707 --> 00:53:57,749
a communist.

1185
00:53:58,291 --> 00:53:59,416
Go ahead, man.

1186
00:53:59,540 --> 00:54:01,082
You go ahead, you put me on the stand,

1187
00:54:01,166 --> 00:54:02,957
I'll tell the same goddamn story!

1188
00:54:03,041 --> 00:54:04,999
Don't matter fuck all to me!

1189
00:54:06,249 --> 00:54:07,208
All right, Willie.

1190
00:54:07,999 --> 00:54:09,082
Thank you.

1191
00:54:09,500 --> 00:54:10,582
We'll be in touch.

1192
00:54:11,291 --> 00:54:12,291
All right.

1193
00:54:17,665 --> 00:54:20,512
Hey, you know, you're not a
bad-looking man, Mr. Garrison.

1194
00:54:20,832 --> 00:54:22,208
Not bad-looking at all.

1195
00:54:22,624 --> 00:54:24,082
I get outta here, I'm gonna come see you.

1196
00:54:24,166 --> 00:54:25,315
We could have some fun!

1197
00:54:26,333 --> 00:54:28,457
None of their testimony's gonna
hold up in court, chief.

1198
00:54:28,540 --> 00:54:31,874
Hell, all three of 'em have reputations
lower than crocodile piss.

1199
00:54:32,124 --> 00:54:33,624
Does that bother you, Bill?

1200
00:54:35,291 --> 00:54:38,082
I always wondered in court why it is
because a woman's a prostitute,

1201
00:54:38,166 --> 00:54:39,832
she has to have bad eyesight.

1202
00:54:40,957 --> 00:54:42,332
Now go find this Clay Bertrand.

1203
00:54:42,416 --> 00:54:43,915
Start by checking around the Quarter.

1204
00:54:43,999 --> 00:54:46,873
And the six of us, with almost
no budget and in secret,

1205
00:54:46,957 --> 00:54:49,623
are gonna solve a case that the Warren
Commission couldn't solve?

1206
00:54:49,707 --> 00:54:52,082
I didn't pick you because of your
legal skill, you know.

1207
00:54:52,166 --> 00:54:53,748
Gee, thanks, boss.

1208
00:54:53,832 --> 00:54:55,281
But because you're a fighter.

1209
00:54:55,458 --> 00:54:57,790
I like a man who's not afraid
of bad odds.

1210
00:54:57,957 --> 00:54:59,707
Mr. Garrison, how are you?

1211
00:55:00,041 --> 00:55:00,998
Remember me?

1212
00:55:01,082 --> 00:55:02,457
I surely do.
Did you vote for me?

1213
00:55:02,540 --> 00:55:03,665
I certainly did, sir.

1214
00:55:03,749 --> 00:55:06,040
We sang together at the Royal Orleans,
remember?

1215
00:55:06,124 --> 00:55:07,457
Yeah, we sang...

1216
00:55:07,540 --> 00:55:10,665
"You're the Cream in My Coffee."

1217
00:55:12,749 --> 00:55:14,915
Mr. Garrison, we haven't seen
enough of you lately.

1218
00:55:14,999 --> 00:55:16,249
Been too busy, Paul.

1219
00:55:16,665 --> 00:55:19,165
Elected men, they can't have as much fun
as they used to.

1220
00:55:19,249 --> 00:55:20,647
It's always nice to see you.

1221
00:55:20,790 --> 00:55:22,416
Pleasure to serve you, always.

1222
00:55:23,624 --> 00:55:24,998
- Hey, Jim.
- How are you?

1223
00:55:25,082 --> 00:55:26,332
- Good seeing you again.
- Nice to see you.

1224
00:55:26,416 --> 00:55:27,665
- Hey, Jim.
- Al.

1225
00:55:27,749 --> 00:55:29,291
- Jim.
- Welcome back, Lou.

1226
00:55:29,916 --> 00:55:30,998
- Paul.
- Yes?

1227
00:55:31,082 --> 00:55:32,873
You think I could get a martini?

1228
00:55:32,957 --> 00:55:34,256
Been waiting for you, sir.

1229
00:55:34,916 --> 00:55:35,832
Perfect.

1230
00:55:35,916 --> 00:55:38,414
- Keep that table open for us, will ya?
- Yes, sir.

1231
00:55:40,832 --> 00:55:42,706
Find out anything on those hobos?

1232
00:55:42,790 --> 00:55:43,832
<i>Photographer from...</i>

1233
00:55:43,916 --> 00:55:46,464
The Dallas Times Herald <i>got some
great shots of 'em.</i>

1234
00:55:47,166 --> 00:55:48,416
Never published.

1235
00:55:50,874 --> 00:55:53,249
Can't say that comes as a surprise
anymore.

1236
00:55:54,333 --> 00:55:57,374
They took 'em to the sheriff's office
and they let 'em go.

1237
00:55:57,458 --> 00:55:59,582
No record of 'em ever being questioned.

1238
00:55:59,790 --> 00:56:01,207
Take a good look, chief.

1239
00:56:01,291 --> 00:56:03,439
Any of 'em look like the hobos
you remember?

1240
00:56:03,957 --> 00:56:05,665
<i>These two look pretty young.</i>

1241
00:56:05,957 --> 00:56:08,416
<i>Not a single frayed collar or cuff,</i>

1242
00:56:08,500 --> 00:56:11,040
new haircuts, fresh shaves, clean hands,

1243
00:56:11,124 --> 00:56:12,416
<i>new shoe leather.</i>

1244
00:56:12,500 --> 00:56:14,291
Well who the hell are they, then?

1245
00:56:15,540 --> 00:56:16,957
- Hi, Susie.
- Hello.

1246
00:56:17,041 --> 00:56:19,089
- I'm sorry I'm late.
- Come on, sit down.

1247
00:56:21,166 --> 00:56:24,207
This could be it. This could be it.
Let's start looking for 'em.

1248
00:56:24,291 --> 00:56:25,873
<i>What about that railroad man,</i>

1249
00:56:25,957 --> 00:56:27,041
<i>Lee Bowers?</i>

1250
00:56:27,333 --> 00:56:29,166
Saw those men at the picket fence.

1251
00:56:30,041 --> 00:56:32,916
<i>Graveyard. Dead. August this year.</i>

1252
00:56:33,082 --> 00:56:34,499
<i>Single car accident</i>

1253
00:56:34,582 --> 00:56:36,873
<i>on an empty road in Midlothian, Texas.</i>

1254
00:56:36,957 --> 00:56:40,249
The doctor said he was in some kind of
strange shock when he died.

1255
00:56:40,707 --> 00:56:42,505
We need to find more witnesses, Lou.

1256
00:56:42,957 --> 00:56:45,374
Well, there was Rose Cheramie, a whore.

1257
00:56:45,458 --> 00:56:48,374
She said she was a dope runner for
Jack Ruby.

1258
00:56:48,957 --> 00:56:49,873
And

1259
00:56:49,957 --> 00:56:53,082
she said that Ruby knew Oswald for years.

1260
00:56:53,249 --> 00:56:54,540
<i>Can we talk to her?</i>

1261
00:56:55,249 --> 00:56:56,166
<i>She's dead, too.</i>

1262
00:56:56,458 --> 00:56:57,706
- Hit and run.
- Oh, mama.

1263
00:57:02,874 --> 00:57:05,374
Why don't we go right to the
horse's mouth, chief?

1264
00:57:05,790 --> 00:57:09,124
Jack Ruby's been rotting away in a Dallas
jail cell for three years.

1265
00:57:09,208 --> 00:57:10,623
Maybe he's ready to crack.

1266
00:57:10,707 --> 00:57:11,457
Can't do it, Bill.

1267
00:57:11,540 --> 00:57:15,040
If we go to him, our investigation'll hit
the front pages by sunrise, all right?

1268
00:57:15,124 --> 00:57:16,832
It'll blow up right in our face.

1269
00:57:17,166 --> 00:57:19,082
Susie, what did you find out on Oswald?

1270
00:57:19,166 --> 00:57:21,706
Uh, negative on his tax records.

1271
00:57:21,790 --> 00:57:22,748
<i>Classified.</i>

1272
00:57:22,832 --> 00:57:25,582
First time I know a DA can't
get a tax record.

1273
00:57:26,166 --> 00:57:29,416
So I put together a list of all the
CIA files on Oswald

1274
00:57:29,500 --> 00:57:32,040
<i>that were part of the Warren Report
and asked for them.</i>

1275
00:57:32,124 --> 00:57:34,458
- There are about 1,200 documents.
- Ooh.

1276
00:57:34,832 --> 00:57:36,623
And can't get one of them.

1277
00:57:36,707 --> 00:57:40,291
All classified as secret on the grounds
of national security.

1278
00:57:40,500 --> 00:57:42,416
They gave me his grammar school records!

1279
00:57:42,500 --> 00:57:45,332
It's a study of his pubic hairs!

1280
00:57:45,416 --> 00:57:47,457
<i>Lonely kid, no father.</i>

1281
00:57:47,540 --> 00:57:49,540
<i>Joins the Marines at 17.</i>

1282
00:57:50,082 --> 00:57:51,581
He learns Russian,

1283
00:57:51,665 --> 00:57:53,581
he acts overtly Marxist,

1284
00:57:53,665 --> 00:57:57,165
<i>but he's stationed at a top-secret
air base in Japan,</i>

1285
00:57:57,249 --> 00:58:00,082
<i>where U2 spy flights over Russia
originate.</i>

1286
00:58:00,707 --> 00:58:04,706
He's discharged from the Marines,
supposedly because his mother's sick.

1287
00:58:04,790 --> 00:58:06,040
Stays home three days,

1288
00:58:06,124 --> 00:58:08,332
<i>then with a 1,500-dollar ticket</i>

1289
00:58:08,416 --> 00:58:11,332
<i>from a 203-dollar bank account,
he goes to Moscow.</i>

1290
00:58:11,416 --> 00:58:12,623
<i>Mr. Oswald, do you understand</i>

1291
00:58:12,707 --> 00:58:14,665
<i>the severity of the action that you're
about to take?</i>

1292
00:58:14,749 --> 00:58:17,957
Yes, I do, sir, and I am also very
familiar...

1293
00:58:19,957 --> 00:58:22,665
I wish to renounce my citizenship,

1294
00:58:22,749 --> 00:58:25,582
and become a Soviet citizen.

1295
00:58:26,124 --> 00:58:27,998
I'm going to make known to them

1296
00:58:28,082 --> 00:58:30,290
all information I have concerning the
Marine Corps.

1297
00:58:30,374 --> 00:58:33,957
And he disappears for six weeks,
presumably with the KGB.

1298
00:58:34,249 --> 00:58:36,873
Finally they shuttle him to a radio
factory in Minsk,

1299
00:58:36,957 --> 00:58:40,291
where he lives as high on the hog as
he ever has.

1300
00:58:40,500 --> 00:58:42,665
He's given 5,000 rubles,

1301
00:58:42,749 --> 00:58:45,082
<i>a roomy apartment with a balcony...</i>

1302
00:58:45,582 --> 00:58:47,665
<i>has affairs with local girls.</i>

1303
00:58:47,749 --> 00:58:49,957
Makes sense, he's a spokesman.

1304
00:58:50,041 --> 00:58:52,915
But... but he never writes,
speaks,

1305
00:58:52,999 --> 00:58:55,166
or does any propaganda for the Russians.

1306
00:58:55,707 --> 00:58:57,581
<i>He meets Marina</i>

1307
00:58:57,665 --> 00:59:00,165
<i>whose uncle is a colonel in
Soviet intelligence,</i>

1308
00:59:00,249 --> 00:59:02,249
<i>at a trade union dance.</i>

1309
00:59:02,582 --> 00:59:04,873
<i>She thinks he's Russian by the way
he speaks.</i>

1310
00:59:04,957 --> 00:59:06,624
<i>Six weeks later they marry...</i>

1311
00:59:06,957 --> 00:59:07,789
<i>have a daughter.</i>

1312
00:59:08,291 --> 00:59:10,290
The only explanation for the
royal treatment

1313
00:59:10,374 --> 00:59:12,416
can be that he did give them
radar secrets,

1314
00:59:12,500 --> 00:59:13,832
or fake secrets.

1315
00:59:13,916 --> 00:59:16,165
Six months after he arrives in Russia,

1316
00:59:16,249 --> 00:59:18,998
<i>Francis Gary Powers ' U2 spy flight</i>

1317
00:59:19,082 --> 00:59:20,748
<i>goes down in Russia.</i>

1318
00:59:20,832 --> 00:59:22,500
<i>That plane was untouchable.</i>

1319
00:59:22,999 --> 00:59:25,832
Powers hinted that Oswald could
have given the Russians

1320
00:59:25,916 --> 00:59:27,499
enough data to hit it.

1321
00:59:27,582 --> 00:59:29,457
And as a direct result

1322
00:59:29,540 --> 00:59:32,332
<i>the peace summit between Khrushchev
and Eisenhower failed.</i>

1323
00:59:32,416 --> 00:59:33,707
<i>I can't help thinking...</i>

1324
00:59:33,957 --> 00:59:37,665
<i>maybe someone in our military didn't want
the peace conference to happen.</i>

1325
00:59:37,749 --> 00:59:39,915
- Susie, come on.
- Maybe Oswald was a part of that!

1326
00:59:39,999 --> 00:59:42,581
- Susie, you are an assistant DA, remember?
- It gets weirder.

1327
00:59:42,665 --> 00:59:44,581
Just stick to what you can prove
in court.

1328
00:59:44,665 --> 00:59:45,790
- Facts? You want facts?
- Please.

1329
00:59:45,874 --> 00:59:47,457
- Susie, don't get sidetracked.
- From 1945 to '59...

1330
00:59:47,540 --> 00:59:50,207
How does he get back to the States?
That's the point, all right?

1331
00:59:50,291 --> 00:59:52,665
- Does he have any problems with Uncle Sam?
- No! None.

1332
00:59:52,749 --> 00:59:56,165
The State Department issues him a new
passport within 48 hours,

1333
00:59:56,249 --> 00:59:58,124
and loans him the money to travel.

1334
00:59:58,832 --> 01:00:01,581
He's never investigated or
charged by the Navy

1335
01:00:01,665 --> 01:00:04,207
for revealing classified information.

1336
01:00:04,291 --> 01:00:05,457
Or, as far as we know,

1337
01:00:05,540 --> 01:00:07,207
debriefed by the CIA!

1338
01:00:07,291 --> 01:00:09,332
Son of a bitch should've been
prosecuted as a traitor

1339
01:00:09,416 --> 01:00:11,164
the minute he stepped off the boat.

1340
01:00:12,124 --> 01:00:14,249
<i>What about Marina,
she have any problems getting out?</i>

1341
01:00:14,333 --> 01:00:15,165
<i>No! None either.</i>

1342
01:00:15,249 --> 01:00:16,249
<i>No, it's bizarre.</i>

1343
01:00:16,333 --> 01:00:19,416
It's next to impossible to get
Russian sweethearts out.

1344
01:00:19,500 --> 01:00:22,082
This is a man who has defected
once already.

1345
01:00:22,166 --> 01:00:22,915
It's crazy.

1346
01:00:22,999 --> 01:00:24,165
Ordinary people

1347
01:00:24,249 --> 01:00:27,665
they get blacklisted for having
leftist affiliations.

1348
01:00:27,749 --> 01:00:29,165
It doesn't add up, does it?

1349
01:00:29,249 --> 01:00:33,040
Next thing we know, he's living in
Dallas-Fort Worth October '62

1350
01:00:33,124 --> 01:00:34,165
<i>working six months</i>

1351
01:00:34,249 --> 01:00:36,082
<i>at Jaggars-Chiles-Stovall.</i>

1352
01:00:36,166 --> 01:00:40,082
<i>This is a photographic firm that contracts
to make maps for the US Army.</i>

1353
01:00:40,749 --> 01:00:44,290
<i>Oswald becomes chummy with the White
Russian community of Dallas,</i>

1354
01:00:44,374 --> 01:00:46,540
<i>all rabid anti-communists.</i>

1355
01:00:46,624 --> 01:00:47,457
It's odd.

1356
01:00:47,540 --> 01:00:50,249
His closest friend is an oilman...

1357
01:00:50,665 --> 01:00:52,957
named George de Mohrenschildt,

1358
01:00:53,082 --> 01:00:55,374
<i>who's about 35 years older than Oswald,</i>

1359
01:00:55,458 --> 01:00:58,915
<i>who is only 23 and supposedly broke.</i>

1360
01:00:58,999 --> 01:01:03,249
De Mohrenschildt is a member of the
Dallas Petroleum Club,

1361
01:01:03,333 --> 01:01:04,665
<i>speaks five languages,</i>

1362
01:01:04,749 --> 01:01:07,374
<i>and was in French Vichy Intelligence
during the war.</i>

1363
01:01:07,458 --> 01:01:08,748
Also rumored to have been

1364
01:01:08,832 --> 01:01:10,374
<i>a Nazi sympathizer.</i>

1365
01:01:10,458 --> 01:01:12,873
I think you really talk like a redneck...

1366
01:01:12,957 --> 01:01:17,665
De Mohrenschildt draws a picture of Oswald
as an intellectual, well-read,

1367
01:01:17,749 --> 01:01:18,915
<i>speaks excellent Russian,</i>

1368
01:01:18,999 --> 01:01:21,166
<i>a man who adored JFK.</i>

1369
01:01:23,916 --> 01:01:24,873
Oh.

1370
01:01:24,957 --> 01:01:27,957
I think he's made some mistakes
regarding Cuba.

1371
01:01:28,041 --> 01:01:31,124
I think he's doing a pretty good job.

1372
01:01:31,208 --> 01:01:34,706
If he succeeds, in my opinion,
I think he'll make a great president.

1373
01:01:34,790 --> 01:01:36,332
- A really handsome one, too.
- Yes.

1374
01:01:36,416 --> 01:01:39,374
That's scenery, Susie,
now don't get sidetracked.

1375
01:01:39,458 --> 01:01:43,082
This is the same man that, bottom line,
nailed Oswald to the Warren Commission

1376
01:01:43,166 --> 01:01:46,457
as a potentially violent man,
and linked him to the rifle.

1377
01:01:46,540 --> 01:01:49,957
Well, in that sense,
Castro is an experimenter.

1378
01:01:56,041 --> 01:01:57,665
What you got there?

1379
01:01:59,082 --> 01:02:00,749
You have a rifle in there?

1380
01:02:01,832 --> 01:02:02,832
Lee...

1381
01:02:02,916 --> 01:02:03,790
Tell me.

1382
01:02:04,540 --> 01:02:06,332
What are you shooting at?

1383
01:02:06,416 --> 01:02:07,749
Rabbits or fascists?

1384
01:02:07,999 --> 01:02:09,040
I uh...

1385
01:02:09,124 --> 01:02:10,623
- I hunt.
- You hunt?

1386
01:02:10,707 --> 01:02:11,457
Mm-hmm.

1387
01:02:11,540 --> 01:02:12,416
Hillbillies.

1388
01:02:12,500 --> 01:02:15,040
We don't know he's CIA,
let's circle him very probable.

1389
01:02:15,124 --> 01:02:16,957
- All right.
- Call him Oswald's handler.

1390
01:02:17,041 --> 01:02:19,748
<i>The Oswalds are introduced by
George de Mohrenschildt</i>

1391
01:02:19,832 --> 01:02:21,832
<i>to Janet and Bill Williams.</i>

1392
01:02:21,916 --> 01:02:23,706
I'm an engineer for Bell Helicopter.

1393
01:02:23,790 --> 01:02:24,998
<i>It's through Janet Williams</i>

1394
01:02:25,082 --> 01:02:27,706
<i>in October '63</i>

1395
01:02:27,790 --> 01:02:29,623
that Lee gets the job at the warehouse

1396
01:02:29,707 --> 01:02:32,458
right smack on Elm Street at the
book depository.

1397
01:02:32,874 --> 01:02:35,499
Presumably so he can now exercise
his intellect

1398
01:02:35,582 --> 01:02:38,124
<i>stacking school texts at
a dollar 25 an hour.</i>

1399
01:02:39,374 --> 01:02:42,624
<i>Marina fights often with Lee
about many things.</i>

1400
01:02:45,208 --> 01:02:47,458
His secrecy, their lack of money...

1401
01:02:48,832 --> 01:02:51,124
<i>She says that Lee is not sexually
adequate.</i>

1402
01:02:51,416 --> 01:02:53,707
Lee, you'll hurt her! You'll hurt her!

1403
01:02:53,999 --> 01:02:56,249
Lee hits her on several occasions.

1404
01:02:57,333 --> 01:03:00,165
<i>Now, at the age of 24,
he rents a small room in Dallas</i>

1405
01:03:00,249 --> 01:03:02,499
<i>under the alias of OH Lee.</i>

1406
01:03:02,582 --> 01:03:04,281
Do you want to look at television?

1407
01:03:04,582 --> 01:03:06,124
Are you all right, Mr. Lee?

1408
01:03:06,458 --> 01:03:07,999
No, thank you. I'm fine.

1409
01:03:09,333 --> 01:03:12,998
All I can find out about the Williams is
that their tax returns are classified,

1410
01:03:13,082 --> 01:03:15,915
and that Bill Williams has links
through his family

1411
01:03:15,999 --> 01:03:17,165
<i>to the CIA,</i>

1412
01:03:17,249 --> 01:03:19,447
<i>and does classified work for
Bell Helicopter.</i>

1413
01:03:20,249 --> 01:03:22,207
<i>Bill's convenient separation from Janet</i>

1414
01:03:22,291 --> 01:03:24,500
<i>allows Marina to move into her house,</i>

1415
01:03:24,665 --> 01:03:27,249
<i>where she suddenly becomes
Marina's best friend.</i>

1416
01:03:27,333 --> 01:03:28,540
<i>And, there,</i>

1417
01:03:28,624 --> 01:03:30,957
<i>- Marina and Lee have a second daughter.
- I have to go away...</i>

1418
01:03:31,041 --> 01:03:33,207
<i>I have to go away...</i>

1419
01:03:33,291 --> 01:03:34,748
<i>Just for a short while.</i>

1420
01:03:34,832 --> 01:03:37,207
What is the matter with this family?

1421
01:03:37,291 --> 01:03:38,957
<i>I love Lee...</i>

1422
01:03:39,374 --> 01:03:41,915
<i>And I... sorry him.</i>

1423
01:03:41,999 --> 01:03:43,082
<i>You're sorry for him?</i>

1424
01:03:44,416 --> 01:03:45,165
<i>Yes.</i>

1425
01:03:45,249 --> 01:03:45,998
<i>When he's arrested,</i>

1426
01:03:46,082 --> 01:03:48,249
Marina buries him with the public.

1427
01:03:48,333 --> 01:03:51,915
Her description of him is that of a
psychotic and violent man.

1428
01:03:51,999 --> 01:03:53,623
I have too much facts,

1429
01:03:53,707 --> 01:03:55,706
and facts tell me

1430
01:03:55,790 --> 01:03:57,998
that Lee shot Kennedy.

1431
01:03:58,082 --> 01:04:00,207
After, they kept her locked away
for two months,

1432
01:04:00,291 --> 01:04:01,748
surrounded by federal people,

1433
01:04:01,832 --> 01:04:03,915
in fearing she'd be deported back
to Russia.

1434
01:04:03,999 --> 01:04:07,374
All right, the poor woman was probably
suffering from nervous exhaustion.

1435
01:04:07,458 --> 01:04:09,124
<i>They taught her how to answer.</i>

1436
01:04:09,624 --> 01:04:12,624
And when they think she's ready,
they buy her new dresses,

1437
01:04:12,749 --> 01:04:15,165
polish her appearance,
and wheel her out on cue.

1438
01:04:15,249 --> 01:04:17,873
I would like to thank the Warren
Commission...

1439
01:04:17,957 --> 01:04:19,905
Now, Oswald was no angel, that's clear.

1440
01:04:20,208 --> 01:04:21,166
But who was he?

1441
01:04:22,041 --> 01:04:23,333
I'm lost, boss.

1442
01:04:23,790 --> 01:04:25,332
What are we saying here?

1443
01:04:25,416 --> 01:04:27,748
We're saying that when Oswald
went to Russia,

1444
01:04:27,832 --> 01:04:29,540
he was not a real defector...

1445
01:04:29,957 --> 01:04:32,040
that he was an intelligence agent on
some kind of mission

1446
01:04:32,124 --> 01:04:34,540
for our government and remained one
till the day he died.

1447
01:04:34,624 --> 01:04:35,706
That's what we're saying.

1448
01:04:35,790 --> 01:04:38,291
Therefore, because
Oswald pulled the trigger...

1449
01:04:38,832 --> 01:04:41,748
the intelligence community murdered
their own commander in chief?

1450
01:04:41,832 --> 01:04:43,082
Is that what you're saying?

1451
01:04:43,166 --> 01:04:44,624
I'll go you one better, Bill.

1452
01:04:44,999 --> 01:04:47,047
Maybe Oswald didn't even pull
the trigger.

1453
01:04:47,458 --> 01:04:51,124
Nitrate tests indicate he hadn't even
fired a rifle on November 22nd.

1454
01:04:51,333 --> 01:04:53,124
And on top of that,
they didn't even bother to see

1455
01:04:53,208 --> 01:04:55,056
if the rifle had been fired that day.

1456
01:04:55,582 --> 01:04:57,249
He had his palm print on the weapon.

1457
01:04:57,333 --> 01:04:59,041
Well, it went to the FBI, Bill.

1458
01:04:59,500 --> 01:05:01,665
FBI didn't find a goddamn thing.

1459
01:05:02,041 --> 01:05:05,124
It comes back a week later and one guy in
the Dallas police department

1460
01:05:05,208 --> 01:05:06,624
suddenly finds a palm print.

1461
01:05:07,374 --> 01:05:10,040
<i>For all we know, it could've been
taken off Oswald in the morgue.</i>

1462
01:05:10,124 --> 01:05:11,332
<i>There's no chain of evidence.</i>

1463
01:05:11,416 --> 01:05:15,582
I never could figure out why this guy
orders a traceable weapon...

1464
01:05:16,208 --> 01:05:17,581
to this post office box,

1465
01:05:17,665 --> 01:05:19,713
when he can go into any store in Texas...

1466
01:05:20,166 --> 01:05:23,581
give a phony name, and walk out with a
rifle which can never be traced.

1467
01:05:23,665 --> 01:05:25,040
To frame him, obviously.

1468
01:05:25,124 --> 01:05:27,499
There's a lot of smoke there,
but there's some fire.

1469
01:05:27,582 --> 01:05:29,457
We're talking about our government, here.

1470
01:05:29,540 --> 01:05:32,238
No, we're talking about a crime, Bill.
Pure and simple.

1471
01:05:32,582 --> 01:05:36,124
Y'all got to start thinking on a different
level, like the CIA does.

1472
01:05:36,500 --> 01:05:38,947
Now we're through the looking glass,
here, people.

1473
01:05:39,582 --> 01:05:40,624
White is black.

1474
01:05:41,832 --> 01:05:42,957
And black is white.

1475
01:05:44,333 --> 01:05:46,999
Just maybe, Oswald is exactly what
he said he was.

1476
01:05:47,790 --> 01:05:48,622
A patsy.

1477
01:05:54,957 --> 01:05:56,998
It's unbelievable.
You were here?

1478
01:05:57,082 --> 01:05:58,166
Yes, sir.

1479
01:05:58,291 --> 01:05:59,707
This is where I was sitting.

1480
01:06:00,082 --> 01:06:03,665
Shots came from near that wooden
fence over there...

1481
01:06:04,624 --> 01:06:06,540
near the overpass.

1482
01:06:06,749 --> 01:06:11,082
And I saw a man run from the fence toward
those railroad cars.

1483
01:06:11,166 --> 01:06:13,499
I made it very clear to the Warren people

1484
01:06:13,582 --> 01:06:16,749
that one of the shots came from behind
that picket fence.

1485
01:06:16,957 --> 01:06:19,499
I heard the report,
saw the smoke come out

1486
01:06:19,582 --> 01:06:21,374
<i>six or eight feet above the ground,</i>

1487
01:06:21,458 --> 01:06:23,457
<i>right out from under those trees.</i>

1488
01:06:23,540 --> 01:06:25,623
<i>We, uh, all four of us...</i>

1489
01:06:25,707 --> 01:06:27,124
<i>All railroad men</i>

1490
01:06:27,208 --> 01:06:28,790
<i>seen about the same thing.</i>

1491
01:06:28,999 --> 01:06:31,623
The smoke came from behind the hedge.

1492
01:06:31,707 --> 01:06:33,706
<i>I was standing next to my friend,
Mary Moorman,</i>

1493
01:06:33,790 --> 01:06:35,832
who took the photograph when he
was killed.

1494
01:06:35,916 --> 01:06:38,249
Um...

1495
01:06:38,333 --> 01:06:41,957
I stepped down to the curb and yelled,
"Hey, Mr. President!"

1496
01:06:42,041 --> 01:06:43,749
Look over here!

1497
01:06:45,540 --> 01:06:47,082
And then shots rang out.

1498
01:06:49,249 --> 01:06:51,082
<i>Mary fell to the ground right away.</i>

1499
01:06:51,166 --> 01:06:54,313
<i>She was yelling, "They're shooting,
they're shooting, get down!"</i>

1500
01:06:55,500 --> 01:06:56,898
<i>I just stood there watching.</i>

1501
01:06:58,208 --> 01:06:59,500
<i>The driver had stopped.</i>

1502
01:07:00,957 --> 01:07:03,155
<i>I don't know what was wrong with
that driver.</i>

1503
01:07:03,540 --> 01:07:04,500
Then...

1504
01:07:05,416 --> 01:07:06,916
out of the corner of my eye...

1505
01:07:08,124 --> 01:07:10,082
I saw a flash of light in the bushes...

1506
01:07:10,999 --> 01:07:12,082
<i>and that last shot...</i>

1507
01:07:13,999 --> 01:07:15,333
<i>Just ripped his head off.</i>

1508
01:07:16,749 --> 01:07:20,748
I looked up and I saw smoke coming from
over there, on the knoll.

1509
01:07:20,832 --> 01:07:23,416
We came around here to look for tracks.

1510
01:07:23,790 --> 01:07:26,999
<i>It rained that morning,
and we found a bunch.</i>

1511
01:07:27,624 --> 01:07:28,624
Cigarette butts...

1512
01:07:28,874 --> 01:07:31,458
<i>and someone had stood about here.</i>

1513
01:07:37,458 --> 01:07:39,082
That's a good spot, chief.

1514
01:07:40,333 --> 01:07:41,232
For the head shot.

1515
01:07:43,249 --> 01:07:45,166
<i>Everything was just frozen.</i>

1516
01:07:45,999 --> 01:07:48,208
<i>Seemed like people weren't even
breathing.</i>

1517
01:07:48,832 --> 01:07:50,580
<i>Like you were looking at a picture.</i>

1518
01:07:53,249 --> 01:07:54,707
<i>Except for this one man.</i>

1519
01:07:55,916 --> 01:07:57,581
<i>I saw this one man</i>

1520
01:07:57,665 --> 01:08:01,873
<i>running from the corner of the book
depository over towards the parking lot.</i>

1521
01:08:01,957 --> 01:08:03,655
<i>It was about 11:00 in the morning.</i>

1522
01:08:04,166 --> 01:08:06,832
And I was driving west on Elm Street
toward the Triple Underpass

1523
01:08:06,916 --> 01:08:07,957
in a rented car.

1524
01:08:08,333 --> 01:08:09,832
<i>A light blue Valiant.</i>

1525
01:08:10,582 --> 01:08:12,291
<i>I will never forget that day.</i>

1526
01:08:12,624 --> 01:08:16,540
<i>There was quite a bit of traffic and I
stopped alongside this green pickup truck.</i>

1527
01:08:16,624 --> 01:08:18,623
<i>And I remember it being very noticeable</i>

1528
01:08:18,707 --> 01:08:21,581
<i>because it had one of its wheels parked up
on the side of the curb.</i>

1529
01:08:21,665 --> 01:08:23,713
<i>And then when I saw the gun, I thought...</i>

1530
01:08:24,458 --> 01:08:25,333
<i>Well...</i>

1531
01:08:25,874 --> 01:08:27,772
<i>the Secret Service is not very secret.</i>

1532
01:08:28,249 --> 01:08:31,290
<i>Then the next morning, on Saturday,
I went down to the FBI office</i>

1533
01:08:31,374 --> 01:08:33,623
<i>and the agents showed me some photographs</i>

1534
01:08:33,707 --> 01:08:35,623
<i>and I picked out three pictures
that looked</i>

1535
01:08:35,707 --> 01:08:37,655
<i>generally like the driver of the truck.</i>

1536
01:08:38,333 --> 01:08:39,416
That's the man.

1537
01:08:39,999 --> 01:08:42,624
<i>You mean you identified Jack Ruby
on Saturday?</i>

1538
01:08:42,749 --> 01:08:43,540
That's right.

1539
01:08:43,624 --> 01:08:45,291
The day before he shot Oswald?

1540
01:08:45,582 --> 01:08:47,999
That's right.
When I saw him on TV...

1541
01:08:48,665 --> 01:08:49,416
I was shocked.

1542
01:08:49,500 --> 01:08:51,082
I turned to my family and I said,

1543
01:08:51,166 --> 01:08:52,964
"That's the man I saw in the truck."

1544
01:08:54,124 --> 01:08:57,290
But you didn't seem nearly so sure in your
statement to the Warren Commission.

1545
01:08:57,374 --> 01:08:58,374
What about these others?

1546
01:08:58,458 --> 01:09:00,156
You said one of them might be him.

1547
01:09:01,582 --> 01:09:04,629
They look a little bit like him,
but I'm sure this is the man.

1548
01:09:05,041 --> 01:09:07,540
Well, it was him I was chasing up
the grassy knoll.

1549
01:09:09,374 --> 01:09:11,624
<i>I thought maybe our guys had shot back.</i>

1550
01:09:11,749 --> 01:09:13,665
<i>And maybe we got one of them.</i>

1551
01:09:13,749 --> 01:09:15,665
<i>When I got up to the parking lot...</i>

1552
01:09:16,082 --> 01:09:19,458
<i>all I saw were railroad workers and
Dallas' finest.</i>

1553
01:09:21,041 --> 01:09:22,832
Secret Service, ma'am.
You're coming with us.

1554
01:09:22,916 --> 01:09:25,165
I am not! I don't know you.
We got to find this shooter!

1555
01:09:25,249 --> 01:09:27,540
I said, you're coming with us, and I want
those pictures in your pocket.

1556
01:09:27,624 --> 01:09:29,165
I don't have any, son of a bitch!

1557
01:09:29,249 --> 01:09:31,416
- <i>He put a hurt on me but good.</i>
- Just smile and keep walking.

1558
01:09:31,500 --> 01:09:34,290
<i>But they musta been watching the whole
thing 'cause they knew everything</i>

1559
01:09:34,374 --> 01:09:36,124
<i>Mary and I had done all day.</i>

1560
01:09:36,624 --> 01:09:39,706
<i>'Cause I guess I wasn't too hard to find,
wearing that red raincoat.</i>

1561
01:09:39,790 --> 01:09:41,638
How many shots did you say you heard?

1562
01:09:41,957 --> 01:09:43,374
Four to six.

1563
01:09:43,707 --> 01:09:44,957
That's impossible!

1564
01:09:45,916 --> 01:09:47,291
You heard echoes.

1565
01:09:47,999 --> 01:09:48,957
Echoes!

1566
01:09:49,874 --> 01:09:53,457
We have three bullets and three shots
that came from the book depository.

1567
01:09:53,540 --> 01:09:55,082
That's all we're willing to say.

1568
01:09:55,166 --> 01:09:56,041
No, sir.

1569
01:09:56,500 --> 01:09:59,749
I saw a man shooting from over there
behind that fence.

1570
01:09:59,999 --> 01:10:01,581
Now what are you going to do about that?

1571
01:10:01,665 --> 01:10:03,207
You got to go out there and get him!

1572
01:10:03,291 --> 01:10:04,665
We have that taken care of.

1573
01:10:04,957 --> 01:10:08,653
You only heard three shots, and you're
not to talk about this with anybody.

1574
01:10:09,333 --> 01:10:10,832
No one. Do you understand me?

1575
01:10:11,124 --> 01:10:11,998
<i>Which is strange,</i>

1576
01:10:12,082 --> 01:10:14,790
<i>'cause it's less than 20 minutes after
the assassination.</i>

1577
01:10:14,874 --> 01:10:15,832
Get her out of here.

1578
01:10:15,916 --> 01:10:18,665
<i>I knew something was
crooked as a dog's hind leg.</i>

1579
01:10:18,916 --> 01:10:19,749
<i>Sure enough...</i>

1580
01:10:19,957 --> 01:10:23,540
When I read my testimony as published
by the Warren Commission,

1581
01:10:23,624 --> 01:10:25,915
it was a fabrication from start
to finish.

1582
01:10:25,999 --> 01:10:29,249
Well, that's what bothers me,
Mr. Garrison, is they've been altered.

1583
01:10:29,333 --> 01:10:30,500
My statements.

1584
01:10:31,374 --> 01:10:33,124
See, this one here says...

1585
01:10:33,208 --> 01:10:35,748
"Mercer could not identify any of the
photographs

1586
01:10:35,832 --> 01:10:37,790
"as being identical with the person that
she had observed

1587
01:10:37,874 --> 01:10:40,082
slouched over the wheel of the green
Ford pickup truck."

1588
01:10:40,166 --> 01:10:41,124
Well, that is not true.

1589
01:10:41,208 --> 01:10:44,405
I never said any such thing,
I recognized him and I told them so.

1590
01:10:44,749 --> 01:10:46,207
Let's take your time, be sure.

1591
01:10:46,291 --> 01:10:47,207
I'm sure.

1592
01:10:47,291 --> 01:10:49,290
And then here on the Dallas
sheriff's report,

1593
01:10:49,374 --> 01:10:51,332
this is really strange.

1594
01:10:51,416 --> 01:10:54,957
You see that notarized signature right
there at the bottom of each page?

1595
01:10:55,041 --> 01:10:56,249
That is not my signature.

1596
01:10:56,333 --> 01:10:59,679
And there never was any notary present
during any of my questioning.

1597
01:11:01,540 --> 01:11:04,082
Mrs. Mercer,
as a former FBI man, it's...

1598
01:11:05,832 --> 01:11:07,624
It's difficult to accept this.

1599
01:11:08,874 --> 01:11:11,540
Beverly, tell Mr. Garrison about
the Carousel Club.

1600
01:11:13,957 --> 01:11:14,832
Okay.

1601
01:11:17,916 --> 01:11:19,915
Well, I used to go over there
a lot to see Jack,

1602
01:11:19,999 --> 01:11:22,347
and especially my friend Jada,
who danced there.

1603
01:11:22,624 --> 01:11:26,333
It was the real swinging spot in town.
Everybody came.

1604
01:11:26,874 --> 01:11:30,208
Businessmen, politicians from Austin,
LBJ's friends.

1605
01:11:30,749 --> 01:11:32,706
Dallas was a slowpokin' town back then!

1606
01:11:32,790 --> 01:11:34,207
<i>I mean you chewed toothpicks,</i>

1607
01:11:34,291 --> 01:11:36,915
<i>played dominoes, spit, dated policemen,</i>

1608
01:11:36,999 --> 01:11:38,790
<i>but Jack, that was exciting.</i>

1609
01:11:38,874 --> 01:11:40,416
<i>There were always cops there.</i>

1610
01:11:40,500 --> 01:11:41,998
<i>Jack liked them around</i>

1611
01:11:42,082 --> 01:11:44,249
<i>even though he used to throw out
the drunks himself.</i>

1612
01:11:44,333 --> 01:11:46,873
He was kind of a
violent-tempered man, actually.

1613
01:11:46,957 --> 01:11:47,957
Hey, how are ya!

1614
01:11:48,041 --> 01:11:50,706
<i>You know, everybody in those
days knew Jack was in the mob.</i>

1615
01:11:50,790 --> 01:11:52,040
Hey, sweetheart!

1616
01:11:52,124 --> 01:11:53,540
<i>Cops back then</i>

1617
01:11:53,624 --> 01:11:54,998
<i>- they were bad.</i>
- Hey, Tippit.

1618
01:11:55,082 --> 01:11:57,579
<i>They'd shake you down for the money
in your pocket.</i>

1619
01:11:57,665 --> 01:11:59,040
<i>You know, there was this one case...</i>

1620
01:11:59,124 --> 01:12:01,207
<i>Yeah, um, Beverly, what about Lee?</i>

1621
01:12:01,291 --> 01:12:02,998
- Beverly, come over here!
<i>- Well...</i>

1622
01:12:03,082 --> 01:12:06,124
<i>One time I came in, and Jack introduced me
to these two guys.</i>

1623
01:12:06,208 --> 01:12:07,124
- Hi!
- Hi, baby.

1624
01:12:07,208 --> 01:12:08,873
<i>He says, "Beverly, I'd like you
to meet my friend, Lee."</i>

1625
01:12:08,957 --> 01:12:10,499
I want you to meet my friend, Lee Oswald.

1626
01:12:10,582 --> 01:12:13,291
<i>I don't remember the other guy's name...</i>

1627
01:12:13,665 --> 01:12:16,082
but he was a weird-looking guy.

1628
01:12:16,458 --> 01:12:18,290
He had these eyebrows.

1629
01:12:18,374 --> 01:12:20,166
<i>He kinda looked like a buzzard!</i>

1630
01:12:21,500 --> 01:12:22,457
<i>Well...</i>

1631
01:12:22,540 --> 01:12:25,998
<i>Lee didn't make much of an impression.
He was... um...</i>

1632
01:12:26,082 --> 01:12:28,207
<i>Well, he really wasn't very good-looking,</i>

1633
01:12:28,291 --> 01:12:30,581
<i>and he didn't look like he had any money.</i>

1634
01:12:30,665 --> 01:12:34,333
<i>And he was in a bad mood, so I didn't
pay him much mind.</i>

1635
01:12:36,082 --> 01:12:39,416
You know, I may not remember a name,
but I always remember a face.

1636
01:12:41,208 --> 01:12:44,205
Then a couple weeks later when I saw him
on the television...

1637
01:12:44,832 --> 01:12:46,874
<i>I screamed,
"My God! That's him!"</i>

1638
01:12:47,749 --> 01:12:49,166
"That's Jack's friend!"

1639
01:12:51,041 --> 01:12:52,665
Will you testify, Beverly?

1640
01:12:55,041 --> 01:12:56,249
I don't think so.

1641
01:12:56,333 --> 01:12:58,930
Now I thought when we came here,
we had an agreement.

1642
01:13:02,041 --> 01:13:04,499
I don't want to become another
statistic, like her.

1643
01:13:04,582 --> 01:13:06,581
We could call you in, Beverly,
we could call you in.

1644
01:13:06,665 --> 01:13:09,916
If they can kill the President of the
United States...

1645
01:13:11,707 --> 01:13:15,333
do you think they're gonna think twice
about a two-bit showgirl like me?

1646
01:13:21,458 --> 01:13:23,805
I understand the pressure you're under,
Beverly.

1647
01:13:24,582 --> 01:13:26,231
Don't think for a minute I don't.

1648
01:13:27,665 --> 01:13:28,874
We both do.

1649
01:13:34,665 --> 01:13:36,790
<i>Mr. Chief Justice...</i>

1650
01:13:36,916 --> 01:13:40,790
You understand that I cannot tell the
truth here, in Dallas?

1651
01:13:41,582 --> 01:13:44,579
There are people here who do not want me
to tell the truth...

1652
01:13:45,082 --> 01:13:46,706
who don't want me to have a retrial?

1653
01:13:46,790 --> 01:13:50,333
Mr. Ruby, I don't see why you don't
just tell us now.

1654
01:13:50,582 --> 01:13:52,416
My life is in danger!

1655
01:13:52,500 --> 01:13:54,998
If you request that I go back to
Washington with you,

1656
01:13:55,082 --> 01:13:57,829
that is if you want to hear further
testimony from me...

1657
01:13:58,582 --> 01:14:00,165
can you do that,
can you take me with you?

1658
01:14:00,249 --> 01:14:04,748
No, that could not be done.
There would be no safe place for you.

1659
01:14:04,832 --> 01:14:07,416
We're not law enforcement officers.

1660
01:14:08,416 --> 01:14:11,790
Mr. Ruby, there's a great deal at stake
in this matter.

1661
01:14:12,749 --> 01:14:14,706
See, if I am eliminated

1662
01:14:14,790 --> 01:14:19,249
there won't be any way of knowing any bit
of the truth pertaining to my situation.

1663
01:14:20,999 --> 01:14:23,207
And, consequently, a whole new form
of government

1664
01:14:23,291 --> 01:14:25,082
is going to take over this country.

1665
01:14:25,749 --> 01:14:26,582
Yeah!

1666
01:14:26,999 --> 01:14:29,790
And I know that I won't live to see you
some other time.

1667
01:14:30,790 --> 01:14:32,165
<i>'Cause I want to tell the truth,</i>

1668
01:14:32,249 --> 01:14:35,124
<i>and then...
I want to leave this world.</i>

1669
01:14:37,874 --> 01:14:41,374
The Zapruder film establishes
three shots in 5.6 seconds.

1670
01:14:42,416 --> 01:14:44,166
Here.

1671
01:14:44,624 --> 01:14:45,832
I'm Oswald.

1672
01:14:47,041 --> 01:14:47,873
Time me.

1673
01:14:49,458 --> 01:14:50,416
Go.

1674
01:14:56,041 --> 01:14:56,873
Time?

1675
01:14:56,999 --> 01:14:58,665
Between six and seven seconds.

1676
01:14:58,749 --> 01:15:00,124
And that's without really aiming.

1677
01:15:00,208 --> 01:15:04,004
The key is the second and third shots came
almost right on top of each other.

1678
01:15:04,707 --> 01:15:05,874
It takes a minimum...

1679
01:15:06,957 --> 01:15:09,665
2.3 seconds to recycle this thing.

1680
01:15:09,957 --> 01:15:12,205
The other problem is there was
a tree there...

1681
01:15:12,458 --> 01:15:14,249
<i>blocking the first two shots</i>

1682
01:15:14,333 --> 01:15:16,832
<i>at the time they occur in the
Zapruder film.</i>

1683
01:15:17,208 --> 01:15:19,457
Didn't J. Edgar Hoover say something
about that?

1684
01:15:19,540 --> 01:15:21,040
<i>The leaves had fallen off in November?</i>

1685
01:15:21,124 --> 01:15:23,500
<i>It was a Texas Live Oak, chief.</i>

1686
01:15:24,082 --> 01:15:26,230
It sheds its leaves the first week
of March.

1687
01:15:27,124 --> 01:15:30,374
You take this Carcano, the world's
worst shoulder weapon,

1688
01:15:30,458 --> 01:15:33,749
and you try to hit a moving target
at 88 yards...

1689
01:15:34,333 --> 01:15:36,873
through heavy foliage. No way.

1690
01:15:36,957 --> 01:15:37,999
Here.

1691
01:15:39,957 --> 01:15:42,332
FBI tried two sets of tests.

1692
01:15:42,416 --> 01:15:45,790
Not one of their sharpshooters could
match Oswald's performance.

1693
01:15:45,874 --> 01:15:47,082
Not one.

1694
01:15:47,208 --> 01:15:49,707
And Oswald was, at best, a medium shot.

1695
01:15:50,291 --> 01:15:52,416
The scope was defective on it, too.

1696
01:15:52,957 --> 01:15:55,749
I mean this is the whole essence of
the case to me.

1697
01:15:56,208 --> 01:15:58,124
The guy couldn't do the shooting.

1698
01:15:59,124 --> 01:16:00,374
<i>Nobody could.</i>

1699
01:16:00,790 --> 01:16:03,333
And they sold this lemon to the
American public.

1700
01:16:05,624 --> 01:16:08,472
The Zapruder film was the proof they
didn't count on, Lou.

1701
01:16:09,082 --> 01:16:10,580
We got to get our hands on it.

1702
01:16:12,374 --> 01:16:15,582
That means we have to subpoena <i>Time-Life.</i>

1703
01:16:16,582 --> 01:16:18,081
Let me ask you something, Lou.

1704
01:16:18,790 --> 01:16:21,041
Why not just shoot Kennedy coming up
Houston?

1705
01:16:21,416 --> 01:16:23,416
There's plenty of time.

1706
01:16:24,374 --> 01:16:25,374
He's out in the open.

1707
01:16:25,458 --> 01:16:27,249
I know, I keep asking myself the
same thing.

1708
01:16:27,333 --> 01:16:28,249
It's a frontal shot.

1709
01:16:28,333 --> 01:16:30,207
Even if you miss him for the first shot,

1710
01:16:30,291 --> 01:16:32,165
if he accelerates, you still got him
for the second shot.

1711
01:16:32,249 --> 01:16:34,846
Now, the only reason for waiting
to get him on Elm...

1712
01:16:35,291 --> 01:16:38,458
is you got him in a triangulated
crossfire, all right?

1713
01:16:39,082 --> 01:16:41,916
You put a team there, down at the fence,

1714
01:16:42,041 --> 01:16:44,874
for a frontal shot, flat, low trajectory.

1715
01:16:45,208 --> 01:16:50,040
Put a third team down here,
in this building, here, on a low floor,

1716
01:16:50,124 --> 01:16:53,171
when Kennedy gets to the kill zone there,
it's a turkey shoot.

1717
01:16:56,249 --> 01:16:57,458
How many men?

1718
01:16:57,790 --> 01:16:58,707
Okay.

1719
01:16:59,124 --> 01:17:00,540
One shooter,

1720
01:17:00,624 --> 01:17:03,624
one spotter on a radio,
maybe three teams.

1721
01:17:05,749 --> 01:17:09,545
I'd say these were professional riflemen,
too, chief, they're serious people.

1722
01:17:10,041 --> 01:17:10,916
Hunters.

1723
01:17:13,208 --> 01:17:14,291
Patient.

1724
01:17:16,249 --> 01:17:18,624
Takes skill to kill with a rifle, chief.

1725
01:17:21,749 --> 01:17:24,998
You got to figure, that's why there's been
no execution of a chief executive

1726
01:17:25,082 --> 01:17:26,500
with one in 200 years.

1727
01:17:29,500 --> 01:17:30,957
Three...

1728
01:17:31,874 --> 01:17:32,832
Two...

1729
01:17:34,540 --> 01:17:35,416
One...

1730
01:17:45,249 --> 01:17:47,208
Main Street's over there, right?

1731
01:17:48,041 --> 01:17:50,538
Original parade route on the way to
the Trade Mart.

1732
01:17:51,665 --> 01:17:52,998
Its too far, right?

1733
01:17:53,082 --> 01:17:54,166
Too far.

1734
01:17:54,458 --> 01:17:57,707
Impossible shot,
so they change the parade route...

1735
01:17:58,500 --> 01:17:59,540
bring him down here,

1736
01:17:59,624 --> 01:18:01,623
moving at a normal 25 miles per hour.

1737
01:18:01,707 --> 01:18:04,790
They knew the motorcade would have to slow
down to about 10 miles per hour

1738
01:18:04,874 --> 01:18:06,581
<i>to make that turn there,</i>

1739
01:18:06,665 --> 01:18:08,114
<i>and that's where you got him.</i>

1740
01:18:15,624 --> 01:18:17,915
Who do you think changed
the parade route, Lou?

1741
01:18:17,999 --> 01:18:18,915
Beats me.

1742
01:18:18,999 --> 01:18:21,540
Secret Service, city officials,
Dallas police.

1743
01:18:21,999 --> 01:18:23,947
You know who the mayor was at the time?

1744
01:18:24,082 --> 01:18:25,166
<i>Earle Cabell.</i>

1745
01:18:25,749 --> 01:18:27,207
Guess who his brother is.

1746
01:18:27,291 --> 01:18:28,208
Who?

1747
01:18:28,707 --> 01:18:30,582
- General Charles Cabell.
- Who?

1748
01:18:30,957 --> 01:18:32,790
Deputy Director of the CIA.

1749
01:18:32,874 --> 01:18:36,082
Kennedy fired him in '61 because of the
Bay of Pigs fiasco.

1750
01:18:37,249 --> 01:18:39,846
Moved back to the Pentagon,
called Kennedy a traitor.

1751
01:18:40,624 --> 01:18:42,166
When he came to New Orleans...

1752
01:18:42,458 --> 01:18:45,790
to address the Foreign Policy Association,
you know who introduced him?

1753
01:18:45,874 --> 01:18:46,749
Who?

1754
01:18:47,124 --> 01:18:48,873
Our friend, Clay Shaw.

1755
01:18:48,957 --> 01:18:50,705
And the Warren Commission call him?

1756
01:18:50,790 --> 01:18:52,915
His boss was the one on the Warren
Commission

1757
01:18:52,999 --> 01:18:55,165
who handled all the leads to the
intelligence community.

1758
01:18:55,249 --> 01:18:56,457
<i>Allen Dulles?</i>

1759
01:18:56,540 --> 01:18:58,624
Head of the CIA since '53.

1760
01:18:59,540 --> 01:19:00,999
Kennedy fired them both.

1761
01:19:02,416 --> 01:19:04,665
Cabell was his deputy for nine years.

1762
01:19:05,707 --> 01:19:09,082
Talk about the fox investigating the
chicken coop.

1763
01:19:10,874 --> 01:19:12,722
Now we'll have to subpoena them both.

1764
01:19:25,624 --> 01:19:26,998
Clay Bertrand?

1765
01:19:27,082 --> 01:19:29,957
Sure, I know him.
Comes around the Quarter.

1766
01:19:30,041 --> 01:19:32,581
Who is he, Joe?
I've been to all the bars,

1767
01:19:32,665 --> 01:19:34,166
nobody wants to talk.

1768
01:19:35,333 --> 01:19:36,957
Why should they talk to you?

1769
01:19:38,500 --> 01:19:42,291
I told your uncle I never met a lawman
who wasn't a punk.

1770
01:19:46,291 --> 01:19:47,790
He's a big-shot businessman.

1771
01:19:47,874 --> 01:19:51,208
I seen him on the TV news a lot,
with all the other big shots.

1772
01:19:52,082 --> 01:19:53,916
The guy's a fag, you know.

1773
01:19:54,416 --> 01:19:55,749
Goes by another name.

1774
01:19:56,333 --> 01:19:57,540
What's the other name?

1775
01:19:58,500 --> 01:20:00,874
Shaw. Clay Shaw.

1776
01:20:01,458 --> 01:20:03,124
Clay Bertrand is Clay Shaw?

1777
01:20:04,208 --> 01:20:06,249
The guy who used to run
the International Trade Mart?

1778
01:20:06,333 --> 01:20:10,291
Yeah, what's the big mystery?
Everybody down here knows the guy.

1779
01:20:11,749 --> 01:20:13,916
Then, why does he call himself Bertrand?

1780
01:20:14,082 --> 01:20:16,500
Who gives a shit what he calls himself.

1781
01:20:17,249 --> 01:20:19,124
Hey, what about that grand jury thing?

1782
01:20:19,208 --> 01:20:21,082
You think you're gonna give us
a little help on that?

1783
01:20:21,166 --> 01:20:23,333
I hope so. We could use it.

1784
01:20:23,790 --> 01:20:25,207
Your hunch was right, boss.

1785
01:20:25,291 --> 01:20:27,665
But it's even spookier than we thought.

1786
01:20:27,832 --> 01:20:30,082
Starting in September '63 on,

1787
01:20:30,166 --> 01:20:32,832
two months before the assassination,

1788
01:20:32,916 --> 01:20:36,124
there are sightings of Oswald
all over Dallas,

1789
01:20:36,208 --> 01:20:37,249
buying ammunition...

1790
01:20:38,416 --> 01:20:39,706
Jasper, cut it out!

1791
01:20:39,790 --> 01:20:42,915
...getting a telescopic sight fixed,
going to rifle ranges.

1792
01:20:42,999 --> 01:20:43,957
<i>Early November,</i>

1793
01:20:44,041 --> 01:20:47,040
<i>at a Dallas downtown
Lincoln-Mercury dealership,</i>

1794
01:20:47,124 --> 01:20:49,416
<i>where he tells the salesman,
Albert Bogard,</i>

1795
01:20:49,500 --> 01:20:50,998
Let's take it out for a test drive.

1796
01:20:51,082 --> 01:20:52,332
<i>...despite the fact he has no license,</i>

1797
01:20:52,416 --> 01:20:54,915
and, from what Marina says,
doesn't know how to drive,

1798
01:20:54,999 --> 01:20:57,957
<i>he hits the curves like
AJ Foyt at the Indy 500.</i>

1799
01:20:58,124 --> 01:21:00,832
<i>Bogard later told his boss he drove
like a madman.</i>

1800
01:21:00,916 --> 01:21:05,540
Hey, 300 bucks down now, Mr. Oswald,
you can drive outta here.

1801
01:21:05,624 --> 01:21:06,540
What?

1802
01:21:07,124 --> 01:21:08,500
For this heap?

1803
01:21:08,624 --> 01:21:12,582
No honest, working man can afford to buy
a car in this goddamn country anymore.

1804
01:21:12,749 --> 01:21:15,082
Maybe I'll have to go to Russia
and buy a car.

1805
01:21:15,166 --> 01:21:18,499
<i>Really dumb dialogue, like he's
trying to draw attention to himself.</i>

1806
01:21:18,582 --> 01:21:20,499
- Yeah, maybe you should.
- A real moron. He walks out.

1807
01:21:20,582 --> 01:21:22,832
Salesman remembers him as about 5'7"

1808
01:21:22,916 --> 01:21:26,291
but we know from Oswald's draft card
that he was actually 5'11".

1809
01:21:26,582 --> 01:21:28,832
Other witnesses see him on several
separate days

1810
01:21:28,916 --> 01:21:30,540
at different firing ranges.

1811
01:21:30,624 --> 01:21:32,873
<i>And one time, November 9th,</i>

1812
01:21:32,957 --> 01:21:34,290
<i>he decides he needs to practice</i>

1813
01:21:34,374 --> 01:21:36,124
<i>on the target of the guy next to him.</i>

1814
01:21:36,208 --> 01:21:40,457
I didn't pay two bits for a target just
to have someone else shoot at it.

1815
01:21:40,540 --> 01:21:43,749
Hey, I'm sorry, buddy.

1816
01:21:44,790 --> 01:21:48,082
I thought I was shooting at that
son-of-a-bitch Kennedy.

1817
01:21:49,124 --> 01:21:51,706
About as subtle as a cockroach crawling
across a white rug.

1818
01:21:51,790 --> 01:21:54,499
Then he shows up at Silvia Odio's,

1819
01:21:54,582 --> 01:21:58,124
<i>a Cuban lady in Dallas working in the
anti-Castro underground.</i>

1820
01:21:58,291 --> 01:22:01,540
<i>The two Cubans introduce him as
Leon Oswald.</i>

1821
01:22:03,166 --> 01:22:05,207
- Because he is a friend of ours!
<i>- Something about the men bothers her.</i>

1822
01:22:05,291 --> 01:22:09,082
About 48 hours later,
one of the Cubans calls her back.

1823
01:22:09,166 --> 01:22:11,581
What did you think of Leon Oswald
last night?

1824
01:22:11,665 --> 01:22:13,207
I don't care, I don't know Oswald.

1825
01:22:13,291 --> 01:22:14,374
You know what he said to us?

1826
01:22:14,458 --> 01:22:17,581
He said, "You Cubans don't have any guts,
'cause Kennedy should have been killed

1827
01:22:17,665 --> 01:22:19,998
after the Bay of Pigs,
and some Cubans should have done it."

1828
01:22:20,082 --> 01:22:21,915
<i>It's like he's giving her information</i>

1829
01:22:21,999 --> 01:22:23,706
<i>- she doesn't even ask for.</i>
- Why did you tell me this?

1830
01:22:23,790 --> 01:22:25,998
She's scared, doesn't see them again

1831
01:22:26,082 --> 01:22:29,290
till she sees Oswald's picture
in the paper.

1832
01:22:29,374 --> 01:22:33,165
But the Warren Commission says that
Silvia has bad eyesight

1833
01:22:33,249 --> 01:22:36,581
because they have Oswald in Mexico
at this time,

1834
01:22:36,665 --> 01:22:38,165
trying to get back into Cuba.

1835
01:22:38,249 --> 01:22:42,124
The CIA has a camera outside the
Cuban Embassy

1836
01:22:42,208 --> 01:22:44,333
and they say that this...

1837
01:22:44,874 --> 01:22:47,957
is Oswald in Mexico. Now...

1838
01:22:48,082 --> 01:22:51,998
If this is Oswald,
it must be our third Oswald.

1839
01:22:52,082 --> 01:22:54,499
<i>It's interesting, the extent to
which the Warren Commission went</i>

1840
01:22:54,582 --> 01:22:56,041
<i>to make him a communist.</i>

1841
01:22:56,707 --> 01:22:58,915
I'm beginning to think the whole point
of the Mexican episode

1842
01:22:58,999 --> 01:23:02,166
was to lay the blame at Fidel
Castro's door.

1843
01:23:02,832 --> 01:23:04,332
I mean, if Oswald, or someone

1844
01:23:04,416 --> 01:23:06,957
purporting to be Oswald,
had gotten into Cuba...

1845
01:23:07,208 --> 01:23:09,166
come back, then killed the president...

1846
01:23:10,374 --> 01:23:13,457
The American public once again would've
supported a Cuban invasion.

1847
01:23:13,540 --> 01:23:16,540
I even have doubts about this photo,
boss.

1848
01:23:16,624 --> 01:23:19,082
This pretty much convicted Oswald

1849
01:23:19,166 --> 01:23:23,124
in the public's mind, but Oswald told
Captain Fritz during his interrogation

1850
01:23:23,208 --> 01:23:25,706
<i>- that the photo was fake.</i>
- This is not me.

1851
01:23:25,790 --> 01:23:28,040
That came from Janet Williams' garage.

1852
01:23:28,124 --> 01:23:29,499
Well, I never saw this picture!

1853
01:23:29,582 --> 01:23:32,499
That is my face, but my face has been
super-imposed.

1854
01:23:32,582 --> 01:23:34,124
The rest of the picture is not me at all,

1855
01:23:34,208 --> 01:23:35,623
and I have done a lot of
photographic work,

1856
01:23:35,707 --> 01:23:37,832
and that picture was made
by someone else!

1857
01:23:37,957 --> 01:23:40,166
I took this picture to two experts.

1858
01:23:40,790 --> 01:23:43,333
Look at the way the shadows
on the nose...

1859
01:23:43,624 --> 01:23:45,873
fall in a straight line like
it's high noon,

1860
01:23:45,957 --> 01:23:47,873
but the shadow down here on the
ground reads more like

1861
01:23:47,957 --> 01:23:49,623
late afternoon or early morning.

1862
01:23:49,707 --> 01:23:51,165
It's not the same time.

1863
01:23:51,249 --> 01:23:53,873
Also, look at the crop marks
across the chin.

1864
01:23:53,957 --> 01:23:56,957
It seems like this head is pasted onto
somebody else's body,

1865
01:23:57,041 --> 01:23:59,291
implicating him with the rifle
and the gun.

1866
01:23:59,624 --> 01:24:03,166
So who the hell are you,
Alex Hidell or Lee Oswald?

1867
01:24:06,500 --> 01:24:08,416
Well, you're the policeman,
you work it out.

1868
01:24:08,500 --> 01:24:11,457
Now it gets positively spooky.

1869
01:24:11,540 --> 01:24:16,499
In January, 1961 in New Orleans at the
Bolton-Ford dealership,

1870
01:24:16,582 --> 01:24:19,249
when the Oswald we know is in Russia...

1871
01:24:19,999 --> 01:24:23,416
there's a man using the name
"Oswald" to buy trucks

1872
01:24:23,500 --> 01:24:25,249
<i>for the Friends of Democratic Cuba.</i>

1873
01:24:25,333 --> 01:24:27,082
<i>Salesman never sees him again,</i>

1874
01:24:27,166 --> 01:24:29,457
but guess who's on the articles of
incorporation

1875
01:24:29,540 --> 01:24:31,748
of the Friends for Democratic Cuba?

1876
01:24:31,832 --> 01:24:32,665
Who?

1877
01:24:32,749 --> 01:24:34,124
Guy Banister.

1878
01:24:34,208 --> 01:24:36,832
Banister has someone

1879
01:24:36,916 --> 01:24:39,374
<i>using the name "Oswald"
to buy the trucks.</i>

1880
01:24:39,540 --> 01:24:43,790
Hoover, at the FBI, writes a memo
dated June of 1960,

1881
01:24:43,874 --> 01:24:47,706
that someone could be using Oswald's
passport and identity.

1882
01:24:47,790 --> 01:24:50,416
Goddamn, they put Oswald together
from day one!

1883
01:24:50,500 --> 01:24:52,581
Like some dummy corporation
in the Bahamas,

1884
01:24:52,665 --> 01:24:54,500
you just move him around a board.

1885
01:24:55,166 --> 01:24:56,500
Anybody want to quit?

1886
01:24:58,208 --> 01:25:00,500
All right, dumb question.
Put your hands down.

1887
01:25:02,208 --> 01:25:03,291
Hey, Bill.

1888
01:25:03,540 --> 01:25:05,082
I found Clay Bertrand.

1889
01:25:05,540 --> 01:25:06,290
Who?

1890
01:25:06,374 --> 01:25:08,665
Grab your socks and hose and pull.

1891
01:25:08,957 --> 01:25:11,040
Clay Bertrand is Clay Shaw.

1892
01:25:11,124 --> 01:25:12,499
- Damn.
- Shaw?

1893
01:25:12,582 --> 01:25:13,832
Director of the Trade Mart?

1894
01:25:13,916 --> 01:25:15,457
- Former director of the Trade Mart.
- Oh, my God.

1895
01:25:15,540 --> 01:25:16,540
That's incredible.

1896
01:25:16,624 --> 01:25:18,540
Can you get some sworn statements?

1897
01:25:18,957 --> 01:25:21,582
Now, that's going to be tough.
Nobody is talking.

1898
01:25:22,582 --> 01:25:24,748
I think we should have him in
for a little chat.

1899
01:25:24,832 --> 01:25:27,249
Oh, honey, I hate for him to get
dragged into this.

1900
01:25:27,333 --> 01:25:30,873
He's done so much for the city, with
all that restoration in the Quarter.

1901
01:25:30,957 --> 01:25:33,082
Remember, we saw him at the Bali
Ha'i fundraiser?

1902
01:25:33,166 --> 01:25:35,124
He seems like such a nice man.

1903
01:25:35,208 --> 01:25:36,999
Honey, it'll be off the record.

1904
01:25:37,249 --> 01:25:38,832
I'll bring him in on a Sunday.

1905
01:25:40,790 --> 01:25:42,957
Quiet, little chat between gentlemen.

1906
01:25:59,790 --> 01:26:01,457
<i>In heavy fighting in Vietnam today,</i>

1907
01:26:01,540 --> 01:26:03,581
<i>seven more American soldiers died,</i>

1908
01:26:03,665 --> 01:26:04,915
<i>and 23 were wounded.</i>

1909
01:26:04,999 --> 01:26:08,082
<i>The body count for this week now stands
at 67 Americans</i>

1910
01:26:08,166 --> 01:26:10,832
<i>and 626 enemy soldiers killed in action.</i>

1911
01:26:10,916 --> 01:26:11,665
Liz?

1912
01:26:11,749 --> 01:26:13,706
<i>President Johnson, meanwhile,
said he regretted</i>

1913
01:26:13,790 --> 01:26:16,290
<i>there is no end in sight to the war
in Vietnam.</i>

1914
01:26:16,374 --> 01:26:18,124
<i>Five-hundred thousand American troops</i>

1915
01:26:18,208 --> 01:26:19,290
- Out here, honey!
<i>- Are now fighting...</i>

1916
01:26:19,374 --> 01:26:20,582
<i>We face more cost...</i>

1917
01:26:21,374 --> 01:26:24,624
<i>more loss... and more agony.</i>

1918
01:26:24,749 --> 01:26:27,416
Come on outside and help the kids
hunt for Easter eggs!

1919
01:26:27,500 --> 01:26:29,998
Oh, honey, that's the kids' job,
all right?

1920
01:26:30,082 --> 01:26:32,540
You know I don't like these
tribal rituals, anyway.

1921
01:26:32,624 --> 01:26:35,082
Besides, I told you I'm talking
to Clay Shaw this morning.

1922
01:26:35,166 --> 01:26:38,124
Honey, we're going to Antoine's
with the kids, like we do every year.

1923
01:26:38,208 --> 01:26:40,165
No, I told you I was talking to Shaw.

1924
01:26:40,249 --> 01:26:42,832
Well, why in the world did you do it
in the middle of Easter Sunday?

1925
01:26:42,916 --> 01:26:45,499
'Cause when I scheduled it,
I didn't realize it was a holiday.

1926
01:26:45,582 --> 01:26:47,332
For Pete's sakes, honey,
look at the calendar!

1927
01:26:47,416 --> 01:26:48,957
Liz, honey, you were there,
why didn't you say something?

1928
01:26:49,041 --> 01:26:50,889
You said a Sunday, not Easter Sunday.

1929
01:26:50,999 --> 01:26:52,540
Clay Shaw is important.

1930
01:26:52,624 --> 01:26:53,832
And we're not.

1931
01:26:53,916 --> 01:26:55,208
I didn't say that, Liz.

1932
01:26:56,540 --> 01:26:57,665
I didn't say that.

1933
01:26:58,665 --> 01:27:01,957
You're missing most of your life,
and you don't even know it, honey.

1934
01:27:02,041 --> 01:27:04,540
The kids are missing out, too.

1935
01:27:04,624 --> 01:27:06,165
-You're not the only one making
-Look, I'll rush,

1936
01:27:06,249 --> 01:27:08,499
- sacrifices around here.
- And I'll be there by 2:00, I promise.

1937
01:27:08,582 --> 01:27:09,582
Okay? Now...

1938
01:27:09,874 --> 01:27:11,665
You just go ahead without me.

1939
01:27:21,291 --> 01:27:23,873
Mr. Garrison, what can I do for you
on Easter Sunday?

1940
01:27:23,957 --> 01:27:26,332
I'm sorry, Mr. Shaw,
to interrupt this holiday,

1941
01:27:26,416 --> 01:27:28,706
but I feel this is a conversation
we might better have

1942
01:27:28,790 --> 01:27:30,838
out of the everyday bustle
in this office.

1943
01:27:31,124 --> 01:27:32,706
I'm not sure I understand.

1944
01:27:32,790 --> 01:27:34,706
Well, in an investigation
we're conducting,

1945
01:27:34,790 --> 01:27:37,165
your name has come up a number of times.

1946
01:27:37,249 --> 01:27:38,790
I wouldn't imagine where.

1947
01:27:38,874 --> 01:27:41,999
We recently talked to a number
of men who claim to know you.

1948
01:27:42,749 --> 01:27:44,540
Are you acquainted with a David Logan?

1949
01:27:44,624 --> 01:27:46,416
Uh, no. Never heard of him.

1950
01:27:47,500 --> 01:27:48,624
A Perry Russo?

1951
01:27:48,749 --> 01:27:49,665
No.

1952
01:27:50,832 --> 01:27:52,082
A Willie O'Keefe?

1953
01:27:53,916 --> 01:27:56,214
No, I don't believe I know
anyone by that name.

1954
01:27:56,582 --> 01:28:00,291
Mr. O'Keefe told us he met you at
the Masquerade Bar, down in the Quarter.

1955
01:28:01,249 --> 01:28:02,540
<i>And several evenings later,</i>

1956
01:28:02,624 --> 01:28:05,249
<i>You had him over for dinner
at your apartment on Dauphine Street.</i>

1957
01:28:05,333 --> 01:28:06,290
<i>Do you recall that?</i>

1958
01:28:06,374 --> 01:28:08,291
<i>Of course not.
I don't know this man.</i>

1959
01:28:09,540 --> 01:28:10,832
Be still my heart.

1960
01:28:11,208 --> 01:28:13,790
Obviously then, I wouldn't have him
over for dinner.

1961
01:28:13,874 --> 01:28:16,041
Hope you like squab.

1962
01:28:17,500 --> 01:28:19,165
- Champagne?
- Yeah.

1963
01:28:19,249 --> 01:28:23,249
<i>Perhaps a few more details about the
evening will refresh your memory.</i>

1964
01:28:29,624 --> 01:28:32,874
<i>Mr. O'Keefe told us dinner was served
by a uniformed waiter.</i>

1965
01:28:33,082 --> 01:28:34,166
<i>A colored man.</i>

1966
01:28:34,957 --> 01:28:37,915
He particularly remembered that you sat
at one end and he at the other,

1967
01:28:37,999 --> 01:28:41,624
which he found rather unusual because
the table was so long.

1968
01:28:42,416 --> 01:28:43,748
How was your mousse?

1969
01:28:43,832 --> 01:28:46,180
Does that bring back memories
of Willie O'Keefe?

1970
01:28:46,333 --> 01:28:47,374
Not at all.

1971
01:28:48,249 --> 01:28:52,581
But on the other hand, I do have a lovely
Chippendale dining table

1972
01:28:52,665 --> 01:28:56,416
and I often have a friend over sitting at
one end, while I sit at the other.

1973
01:28:56,500 --> 01:29:00,332
It's precisely the point of a long
dining table.

1974
01:29:00,416 --> 01:29:03,082
The splendor of the meal adds to
the enjoyment of it.

1975
01:29:03,624 --> 01:29:05,748
I would imagine that a
uniformed waiter helps.

1976
01:29:05,832 --> 01:29:07,124
It adds a taste of elegance,

1977
01:29:07,208 --> 01:29:09,999
for which I must confess a weakness,
now and then.

1978
01:29:10,790 --> 01:29:12,249
<i>I call him Smedley.</i>

1979
01:29:13,166 --> 01:29:14,623
<i>Real name is Frankie Jenkins,</i>

1980
01:29:14,707 --> 01:29:18,041
but I could hardly imagine anything
more uncouth during dinner...

1981
01:29:18,374 --> 01:29:22,041
than my turning toward the kitchen
and hollering "Frankie!"

1982
01:29:27,291 --> 01:29:29,332
Where is all this leading to,
Mr. Garrison?

1983
01:29:29,416 --> 01:29:31,749
After dinner, you paid him to have sex.

1984
01:29:35,124 --> 01:29:36,916
That is absolute nonsense.

1985
01:29:38,041 --> 01:29:42,374
The Quarter is filled with vivid
imaginations, my dear Mr. Garrison.

1986
01:29:42,458 --> 01:29:44,416
Grimy young hoodlums, who will say and do

1987
01:29:44,500 --> 01:29:46,374
- anything, as you well know.
- In the course of that night,

1988
01:29:46,458 --> 01:29:49,457
Mr. O'Keefe told us that a man named
David Ferrie stopped by the house

1989
01:29:49,540 --> 01:29:51,374
<i>along with another young man.</i>

1990
01:29:53,166 --> 01:29:54,916
<i>- Who?
- David Ferrie.</i>

1991
01:29:55,208 --> 01:29:58,374
No, I don't believe I know
anyone by that name.

1992
01:29:58,458 --> 01:30:01,957
<i>Course never having met Mr. O'Keefe
I could hardly have met Mr. Ferrie.</i>

1993
01:30:10,333 --> 01:30:12,291
Here you go. Here you go.

1994
01:30:15,249 --> 01:30:17,706
You're mine, Mary. You're mine.

1995
01:30:17,790 --> 01:30:20,665
The four of you partied early into
the morning hours.

1996
01:30:20,999 --> 01:30:22,707
Look at this picture.

1997
01:30:23,582 --> 01:30:26,529
I'm sure I've never met anyone of such
a bizarre appearance.

1998
01:30:30,624 --> 01:30:32,332
Come here, bitch!

1999
01:30:32,416 --> 01:30:34,915
Come here!

2000
01:30:34,999 --> 01:30:36,249
The only way you get this

2001
01:30:36,333 --> 01:30:37,706
is do exactly what I say.

2002
01:30:37,790 --> 01:30:39,290
I'm the man, don't ever forget it!

2003
01:30:39,374 --> 01:30:40,916
You want it? You want it?

2004
01:30:41,208 --> 01:30:43,581
Does the name Clay Bertrand
mean anything to you?

2005
01:30:43,665 --> 01:30:46,207
- Clay Bertrand... Clay Bertrand.
- Clay Bertrand.

2006
01:30:46,291 --> 01:30:48,207
I believe there was a man with a
name similar to that,

2007
01:30:48,291 --> 01:30:50,706
worked over at the Chamber of Commerce.
Is that the man you had in mind?

2008
01:30:50,790 --> 01:30:51,999
No, it was not.

2009
01:30:53,458 --> 01:30:55,915
Mr. Shaw,
can you identify this man?

2010
01:30:55,999 --> 01:30:56,748
Naturally.

2011
01:30:56,832 --> 01:31:00,165
Are you claiming, Mr. Garrison,
that Mr. Oswald also had dinner with me?

2012
01:31:00,249 --> 01:31:03,290
Mr. Shaw, have you ever met
Lee Harvey Oswald?

2013
01:31:03,374 --> 01:31:07,207
You really have me consorting with
a sordid cast of characters.

2014
01:31:07,291 --> 01:31:09,458
- Just answer the question.
- Of course not.

2015
01:31:10,416 --> 01:31:12,207
Such a pity, that assassination.

2016
01:31:12,291 --> 01:31:14,581
In fact, I admired President Kennedy.

2017
01:31:14,665 --> 01:31:17,623
A man of true panache,
wife of impeccable taste.

2018
01:31:17,707 --> 01:31:19,416
- I'm hungry!
- Well, why don't we just go ahead

2019
01:31:19,500 --> 01:31:21,832
and order without your daddy,
I don't think he'll mind.

2020
01:31:21,916 --> 01:31:23,416
I want a Shirley Temple!

2021
01:31:23,582 --> 01:31:25,930
- Oh, kids, put your water guns away.
- Me, too!

2022
01:31:26,624 --> 01:31:29,082
When's Daddy coming, Mama?

2023
01:31:29,291 --> 01:31:30,790
Soon, he's coming soon.

2024
01:31:30,874 --> 01:31:34,374
He's really sorry he couldn't start
with us, but he promised he'd be here.

2025
01:31:34,458 --> 01:31:37,374
Daddy never keeps his promises.

2026
01:31:37,458 --> 01:31:39,500
I'm bored!

2027
01:31:41,458 --> 01:31:44,540
Mr. Shaw, this is an Italian
newspaper article saying you were

2028
01:31:44,624 --> 01:31:47,621
a member of the Board of Centro
Mondo Commerciale in Italy...

2029
01:31:48,374 --> 01:31:52,623
that this company was a creature of the
CIA for the transfer of funds in Italy

2030
01:31:52,707 --> 01:31:55,208
for illegal political-espionage activity.

2031
01:31:55,749 --> 01:31:59,665
It says that this company was expelled
from Italy for those activities.

2032
01:31:59,832 --> 01:32:01,457
I'm well aware of that asinine article.

2033
01:32:01,540 --> 01:32:05,124
I'm thinking very seriously of suing
that rag of a newspaper.

2034
01:32:05,208 --> 01:32:07,873
It also says that this company is
linked to the Schlumberger Tool Company,

2035
01:32:07,957 --> 01:32:09,165
here in Houma, Louisiana,

2036
01:32:09,249 --> 01:32:11,873
which helped provide arms
to David Ferrie and his Cubans.

2037
01:32:11,957 --> 01:32:13,665
Mr. Garrison, you're reaching.

2038
01:32:13,832 --> 01:32:14,664
Am I?

2039
01:32:14,874 --> 01:32:18,665
I'm an international businessman.
The Trade Mart, which I founded,

2040
01:32:18,749 --> 01:32:21,748
is America's commercial pipeline
to Latin America.

2041
01:32:21,832 --> 01:32:23,416
I trade everywhere.

2042
01:32:23,500 --> 01:32:24,998
I am accused

2043
01:32:25,082 --> 01:32:27,291
as are all businessmen, of all things.

2044
01:32:27,416 --> 01:32:31,748
I somehow go about my business,
make money, help society the best I can,

2045
01:32:31,832 --> 01:32:34,208
and try to promote free trade
in this world.

2046
01:32:34,333 --> 01:32:35,540
Mr. Shaw...

2047
01:32:35,832 --> 01:32:39,379
have you ever been a contract agent for
the Central Intelligence Agency?

2048
01:32:43,665 --> 01:32:44,999
And if I were...

2049
01:32:45,916 --> 01:32:47,790
Mr. Garrison, do you believe...

2050
01:32:48,208 --> 01:32:49,916
I would be here today...

2051
01:32:50,333 --> 01:32:52,374
talking to somebody like you?

2052
01:32:55,916 --> 01:32:56,957
No.

2053
01:32:58,124 --> 01:32:59,957
People like you don't have to, I guess.

2054
01:33:00,041 --> 01:33:00,998
May I go?

2055
01:33:01,082 --> 01:33:03,874
People like you, they just walk
between the raindrops.

2056
01:33:04,874 --> 01:33:05,790
May I go?

2057
01:33:08,249 --> 01:33:09,291
Yes.

2058
01:33:17,582 --> 01:33:20,332
Regardless of what you may think of me,
Mr. Garrison,

2059
01:33:20,416 --> 01:33:23,040
I am a patriot first and foremost.

2060
01:33:23,124 --> 01:33:24,998
I've spent half my life in the
United States military

2061
01:33:25,082 --> 01:33:27,082
serving and defending this great
country, Mr. Shaw,

2062
01:33:27,166 --> 01:33:28,748
and you're the first person I ever met

2063
01:33:28,832 --> 01:33:31,332
who considered it an act of patriotism
to murder his own president.

2064
01:33:31,416 --> 01:33:33,706
Now, just a minute, sir.
You are way out of line.

2065
01:33:33,790 --> 01:33:37,387
I'm sorry, Mr. Shaw, it's getting late.
That's all the questions we have.

2066
01:33:37,500 --> 01:33:40,332
Thank you for your honesty
and for coming in today.

2067
01:33:40,416 --> 01:33:42,832
I enjoyed meeting with you gentlemen.

2068
01:33:43,249 --> 01:33:46,041
And you, Miss Cox.
It was most pleasant.

2069
01:33:51,582 --> 01:33:53,290
I wish to extend to each of you,

2070
01:33:53,374 --> 01:33:56,665
and to each of your families,
my best wishes for a happy Easter.

2071
01:34:05,333 --> 01:34:07,749
"One may smile and smile
and be a villain."

2072
01:34:09,333 --> 01:34:11,208
Goddammit, we got one of 'em.

2073
01:34:12,249 --> 01:34:13,291
Did you see that?

2074
01:34:29,957 --> 01:34:31,874
- Hi, honey.
- Hi.

2075
01:34:35,999 --> 01:34:38,665
- Tough day.
- Daddy, where you been?

2076
01:34:39,790 --> 01:34:41,208
My sympathies.

2077
01:34:41,374 --> 01:34:44,832
Liz, I'm really sorry, but the meeting
took much longer than expected.

2078
01:34:45,124 --> 01:34:46,416
Just a second, Jasper.

2079
01:34:46,665 --> 01:34:49,957
We waited for hours, Jim!

2080
01:34:51,500 --> 01:34:52,957
Honey, you could've telephoned.

2081
01:34:53,041 --> 01:34:55,748
I know, I don't know what to say,
except I'm sorry, all right?

2082
01:34:55,832 --> 01:34:57,916
I just don't have rabbits on my mind.

2083
01:34:58,582 --> 01:34:59,623
You know what I think?

2084
01:34:59,707 --> 01:35:00,581
Daddy?

2085
01:35:00,665 --> 01:35:03,712
I think you care more about John
Kennedy than your own family!

2086
01:35:03,916 --> 01:35:06,581
All day, the kids are asking,
"Where's Daddy?"

2087
01:35:06,665 --> 01:35:08,706
What am I supposed to
tell your kids, Jim!

2088
01:35:08,790 --> 01:35:10,207
- Papa?
- I don't know what to tell them.

2089
01:35:10,291 --> 01:35:11,706
How about the truth?

2090
01:35:11,790 --> 01:35:13,957
I'm doing my job to make sure they can
grow up in a country,

2091
01:35:14,041 --> 01:35:15,332
- Papa?
- Where justice won't be an arcane,

2092
01:35:15,416 --> 01:35:17,706
vanished idea they read about
in history books.

2093
01:35:17,790 --> 01:35:19,207
- Oh, that sounds real dandy.
- Like the dinosaurs,

2094
01:35:19,291 --> 01:35:21,165
- or the lost continent of Atlantis.
- But it doesn't replace a husband

2095
01:35:21,249 --> 01:35:22,790
or a father on Easter Sunday.

2096
01:35:23,166 --> 01:35:25,041
Well, it's gonna get worse, Liz.

2097
01:35:37,707 --> 01:35:39,040
Do you know who killed President Kennedy?

2098
01:35:39,124 --> 01:35:40,706
Was there a conspiracy here
in New Orleans?

2099
01:35:40,790 --> 01:35:43,249
- Excuse me, gentlemen.
- I don't know what you're talking about.

2100
01:35:43,333 --> 01:35:44,749
Get out of here!

2101
01:35:45,082 --> 01:35:47,665
Watch out! Watch out!

2102
01:35:49,624 --> 01:35:52,124
Congratulations, boss, you're page one.

2103
01:35:52,416 --> 01:35:53,165
And it ain't pretty.

2104
01:35:53,249 --> 01:35:55,082
It says we've spend more than
8,000 dollars

2105
01:35:55,166 --> 01:35:56,915
on unexplained travel and investigative

2106
01:35:56,999 --> 01:35:59,540
expenses in a period since November 1966.

2107
01:35:59,624 --> 01:36:00,540
Goddamn!

2108
01:36:00,999 --> 01:36:02,290
They went to the public records.

2109
01:36:02,374 --> 01:36:05,291
They got the vouchers that we requested
for withdrawals.

2110
01:36:05,416 --> 01:36:07,207
Shaw must've gotten them on our tail.

2111
01:36:07,291 --> 01:36:09,790
It could've been Ferrie, Martin,
Andrews, any of 'em.

2112
01:36:09,874 --> 01:36:10,623
Dammit!

2113
01:36:10,707 --> 01:36:14,540
We didn't talk to Ruby 'cause of them and
they're on our asses for a measly 8,000!

2114
01:36:14,624 --> 01:36:16,540
They hunted down the news,
it's their business.

2115
01:36:16,624 --> 01:36:19,332
Well, you'd at least think they'd attempt
to understand what we're trying to do!

2116
01:36:19,416 --> 01:36:21,963
Well, getting angry doesn't accomplish
a damn thing!

2117
01:36:24,374 --> 01:36:26,041
Son of a bitch.

2118
01:36:26,707 --> 01:36:29,005
Well, this changes everything,
now, doesn't it?

2119
01:36:29,333 --> 01:36:30,416
What do you mean?

2120
01:36:32,124 --> 01:36:33,041
Well...

2121
01:36:33,208 --> 01:36:36,707
Either we pull out now, or we go through
some heavy flack together.

2122
01:36:39,665 --> 01:36:43,707
Bear in mind, each of you, this may affect
the rest of your careers, your lives.

2123
01:36:44,916 --> 01:36:47,166
If any one of you want to pull out now...

2124
01:36:47,458 --> 01:36:50,374
I assure you I will bear no ill feelings
towards that person

2125
01:36:50,458 --> 01:36:52,916
and will reassign you to regular duties.

2126
01:36:56,208 --> 01:36:57,249
There it is, then.

2127
01:36:57,916 --> 01:36:58,873
Thank you.

2128
01:36:58,957 --> 01:37:00,456
That means a great deal to me.

2129
01:37:04,041 --> 01:37:08,333
I'm giving this office 6,000 dollars from
my National Guard savings account,

2130
01:37:08,500 --> 01:37:09,916
so we can continue.

2131
01:37:10,874 --> 01:37:13,957
I'll make speeches where I can
and pick up additional money.

2132
01:37:14,458 --> 01:37:16,207
Mr. Garrison,
what shall I tell them?

2133
01:37:16,291 --> 01:37:17,665
They're piling up outside the door.

2134
01:37:17,749 --> 01:37:20,581
They want a statement, the phones are
going crazier than bugs on a cake.

2135
01:37:20,665 --> 01:37:23,665
Neither confirm, deny,
nor discuss, Sharon.

2136
01:37:25,374 --> 01:37:27,333
Goodbye, ladies, gentlemen.

2137
01:37:29,124 --> 01:37:31,873
I'm going home to where I can get
a decent day's work done.

2138
01:37:31,957 --> 01:37:34,040
<i>Mr. Garrison's own silence on the subject</i>

2139
01:37:34,124 --> 01:37:35,957
<i>has raised some interesting questions.</i>

2140
01:37:36,041 --> 01:37:38,207
<i>With taxpayer money, has he uncovered</i>

2141
01:37:38,291 --> 01:37:39,832
<i>some valuable new evidence...</i>

2142
01:37:40,166 --> 01:37:42,082
<i>or is he merely saving the information</i>

2143
01:37:42,166 --> 01:37:44,863
<i>which will gain, for him,
exposure at a national level?</i>

2144
01:37:47,540 --> 01:37:48,623
Yeah?

2145
01:37:48,707 --> 01:37:50,623
<i>Did your office plant
that garbage in the fuckin' paper?</i>

2146
01:37:50,707 --> 01:37:52,832
- Who is this?
<i>- You know exactly who the fuck this is!</i>

2147
01:37:52,916 --> 01:37:54,207
- Dave?
<i>- Yeah, you got it.</i>

2148
01:37:54,291 --> 01:37:55,124
<i>Listen...</i>

2149
01:37:55,208 --> 01:37:57,332
<i>Since you're the only straight shooter
in that fuckin' office,</i>

2150
01:37:57,416 --> 01:37:59,416
I'd like a fuckin' answer
from you. Did you plant it?

2151
01:37:59,500 --> 01:38:00,873
<i>Dave, you think we're out of our minds?</i>

2152
01:38:00,957 --> 01:38:02,416
<i>The whole building's been a zoo
since that broke.</i>

2153
01:38:02,500 --> 01:38:04,457
<i>We can't get a thing done.
Reporters crawling everywhere.</i>

2154
01:38:04,540 --> 01:38:05,581
<i>You think we want that?</i>

2155
01:38:05,665 --> 01:38:07,290
Somebody planted that fuckin' story!

2156
01:38:07,374 --> 01:38:10,165
Somebody tipped off the press I'm one
of fuckin' Garrison's suspects.

2157
01:38:10,249 --> 01:38:12,416
I can't... I can't go home!

2158
01:38:12,500 --> 01:38:13,665
<i>The fuckin' maggots are everywhere!</i>

2159
01:38:13,749 --> 01:38:15,457
<i>Do you know what you've done to me?</i>

2160
01:38:15,540 --> 01:38:16,873
Calm down, Dave, what?

2161
01:38:16,957 --> 01:38:19,581
From here on, I am a fuckin' dead man.

2162
01:38:19,665 --> 01:38:21,082
- A dead man!
<i>- What are you talking about?</i>

2163
01:38:21,166 --> 01:38:23,706
<i>Dave, you even weren't mentioned in the
story. Don't jump to conclusions.</i>

2164
01:38:23,790 --> 01:38:27,166
Look, meet me in the lobby of
the Fontainebleau in 20 minutes.

2165
01:38:27,540 --> 01:38:30,374
<i>I guarantee you the boss will
protect you.</i>

2166
01:38:30,458 --> 01:38:32,665
<i>He likes you, he likes your mind.</i>

2167
01:38:36,416 --> 01:38:39,207
I guess, you know, I just don't know who
to trust anymore, you know?

2168
01:38:39,291 --> 01:38:44,249
I suppose I could use a pot of hot coffee
and a few packs of Luckies.

2169
01:38:45,124 --> 01:38:46,790
So you got anything new in the
investigation?

2170
01:38:46,874 --> 01:38:48,040
Who you scared of, Dave?

2171
01:38:48,124 --> 01:38:49,416
Me? Everybody.

2172
01:38:49,832 --> 01:38:52,208
Agency, mob, Cubans.

2173
01:38:52,749 --> 01:38:55,041
That's it, follow the Cubans.
Check 'em out.

2174
01:38:55,749 --> 01:38:57,374
Here, Miami, Dallas.

2175
01:38:58,500 --> 01:39:00,873
Check out a guy named Eladio del Valle.

2176
01:39:00,957 --> 01:39:04,166
He used to be my paymaster when I
flew missions into Cuba.

2177
01:39:04,582 --> 01:39:06,832
He's somewhere in Miami.
You're on the right track.

2178
01:39:06,916 --> 01:39:08,581
Hey, hey!
Don't be writing this down.

2179
01:39:08,665 --> 01:39:11,416
I ain't cooperating here with no one.
What's going on here?

2180
01:39:11,500 --> 01:39:14,166
There's a death warrant for me!
Don't you get it?

2181
01:39:14,707 --> 01:39:15,623
Damn!

2182
01:39:15,707 --> 01:39:17,540
Wait a minute, you ain't bugged, are you?

2183
01:39:17,624 --> 01:39:20,416
Son of a bitch, Lou.
Are you?

2184
01:39:20,500 --> 01:39:21,332
Dave.

2185
01:39:21,416 --> 01:39:23,249
I always play square.
No bugs.

2186
01:39:23,333 --> 01:39:26,416
I'd love you to go on the record, but I'm
in no hurry.

2187
01:39:26,500 --> 01:39:27,416
Whenever you're ready.

2188
01:39:27,500 --> 01:39:29,665
I haven't slept since
that shit article come out.

2189
01:39:29,749 --> 01:39:31,581
Why'd you guys have to go and get me
involved with this?

2190
01:39:31,665 --> 01:39:34,082
Did we get you involved or did
Clay Shaw, Dave?

2191
01:39:34,166 --> 01:39:35,832
Cocksuckin' faggot!

2192
01:39:35,916 --> 01:39:38,114
- He got me by the balls.
- What do you mean?

2193
01:39:38,500 --> 01:39:40,665
You know, photographs,
compromising stuff.

2194
01:39:40,874 --> 01:39:43,458
And he'll use 'em, too.
The Agency plays for keeps.

2195
01:39:43,957 --> 01:39:46,873
I knew Oswald.
He was in my Civil Air Patrol unit.

2196
01:39:46,957 --> 01:39:49,706
I taught him everything.
He was a "wannabe," you know?

2197
01:39:49,790 --> 01:39:52,207
Nobody really liked him 'cause they
thought he was a snitch.

2198
01:39:52,291 --> 01:39:53,457
I treated him good.

2199
01:39:53,540 --> 01:39:56,665
He'd talk about his kid, you know, really
wanted her to grow up with a chance, but...

2200
01:39:56,749 --> 01:39:57,832
What's this?

2201
01:39:57,916 --> 01:39:59,166
What's going on here?

2202
01:40:02,874 --> 01:40:04,273
Ain't nobody coming in here.

2203
01:40:04,500 --> 01:40:06,458
Just room service.

2204
01:40:07,832 --> 01:40:09,165
Black, black... just give it to me.

2205
01:40:09,249 --> 01:40:09,998
Black.

2206
01:40:10,082 --> 01:40:11,249
Shit.

2207
01:40:11,333 --> 01:40:12,790
My neck is killing me.

2208
01:40:12,874 --> 01:40:14,623
I got cancer, I've had it for years.

2209
01:40:14,707 --> 01:40:17,082
I been working with mice,
you know, trying to find a cure.

2210
01:40:17,166 --> 01:40:19,458
Did you ever work for the CIA?

2211
01:40:19,916 --> 01:40:23,512
You make it sound like some remote fuckin'
experience in ancient history.

2212
01:40:23,665 --> 01:40:25,874
Man, you don't leave the Agency.

2213
01:40:26,665 --> 01:40:28,665
Once you're in, they got you for life.

2214
01:40:29,249 --> 01:40:30,040
Shaw?

2215
01:40:30,124 --> 01:40:31,998
Shaw?
Shaw's an "untouchable."

2216
01:40:32,082 --> 01:40:33,124
Highest clearance.

2217
01:40:33,208 --> 01:40:36,374
Shaw, Oswald, the Cubans...
all Agency.

2218
01:40:37,416 --> 01:40:38,333
What about Ruby?

2219
01:40:41,790 --> 01:40:43,458
Jack?
Jack was a pimp.

2220
01:40:43,707 --> 01:40:45,457
He was a bagman for the Dallas mob.

2221
01:40:45,540 --> 01:40:48,488
He used to run guns to Castro
when he was still on our side.

2222
01:40:48,999 --> 01:40:51,249
We almost had Castro with us,
then we tried to whack him.

2223
01:40:51,333 --> 01:40:53,082
Everybody's flipping sides all the time.

2224
01:40:53,166 --> 01:40:55,040
It's fun and games, man, fun and games.

2225
01:40:55,124 --> 01:40:57,207
What about the mob, Dave?
How do they figure in this?

2226
01:40:57,291 --> 01:40:58,665
They're Agency, too, man.

2227
01:40:58,749 --> 01:41:00,748
CIA and the mafia working together,

2228
01:41:00,832 --> 01:41:02,165
trying to whack out the Beard.

2229
01:41:02,249 --> 01:41:04,457
Mutual interests.
They been doing it for years!

2230
01:41:04,540 --> 01:41:06,665
There's more to this than
you could dream!

2231
01:41:06,749 --> 01:41:08,998
Check out something called
"Mongoose."

2232
01:41:09,082 --> 01:41:10,458
"Operation Mongoose."

2233
01:41:10,582 --> 01:41:12,582
Government, Pentagon stuff.

2234
01:41:12,999 --> 01:41:14,207
They're in charge.

2235
01:41:14,291 --> 01:41:17,500
But who the fuck pulls whose chain?
Who the fuck knows.

2236
01:41:17,707 --> 01:41:20,790
"Oh, what a deadly web we weave
when we practice to deceive."

2237
01:41:20,874 --> 01:41:22,124
Then who killed the president?

2238
01:41:22,208 --> 01:41:24,706
Oh, man, why don't you fuckin' stop it!

2239
01:41:24,790 --> 01:41:25,540
Shit!

2240
01:41:25,624 --> 01:41:26,499
Who did...

2241
01:41:26,582 --> 01:41:28,540
This is too fuckin' big for you,
you know that?

2242
01:41:28,624 --> 01:41:31,374
This is... who did the president?
Who killed Kennedy?

2243
01:41:31,458 --> 01:41:32,499
Fuck, man!

2244
01:41:32,582 --> 01:41:33,706
It's a mystery!

2245
01:41:33,790 --> 01:41:36,832
It's a mystery wrapped in a riddle
inside an enigma!

2246
01:41:36,916 --> 01:41:39,613
The fuckin' shooters don't even know!
Don't you get it?

2247
01:41:39,999 --> 01:41:41,208
Fuck, man!

2248
01:41:41,957 --> 01:41:43,374
I can't keep talking like this.

2249
01:41:43,458 --> 01:41:45,041
They're gonna fuckin' kill me!

2250
01:41:45,333 --> 01:41:47,208
I'm gonna fuckin' die!

2251
01:41:51,374 --> 01:41:52,416
Son of a bitch!

2252
01:41:52,500 --> 01:41:54,208
It's all right, David.

2253
01:41:55,999 --> 01:41:58,041
I don't know what happened.

2254
01:41:58,916 --> 01:42:00,124
Fuck!

2255
01:42:06,665 --> 01:42:09,208
All I wanted in the world...

2256
01:42:11,208 --> 01:42:13,749
Was to be a Catholic priest...

2257
01:42:14,500 --> 01:42:16,124
live in a monastery,

2258
01:42:16,208 --> 01:42:17,999
pray, serve God.

2259
01:42:19,374 --> 01:42:21,582
I had one fuckin'...

2260
01:42:22,916 --> 01:42:25,166
One terrible fuckin' weakness!

2261
01:42:25,582 --> 01:42:27,582
And they defrocked me!

2262
01:42:31,374 --> 01:42:34,624
Then I started to lose everything.

2263
01:42:36,540 --> 01:42:37,957
It's gonna be okay, Dave.

2264
01:42:38,374 --> 01:42:41,920
You just talk to us on the record and
we'll protect you, I guarantee it.

2265
01:42:47,790 --> 01:42:49,458
They'd get to you, too.

2266
01:42:50,957 --> 01:42:52,500
They'll destroy you.

2267
01:42:54,540 --> 01:42:56,082
They're untouchable, man.

2268
01:42:59,500 --> 01:43:03,166
I'm so fuckin' exhausted,
I can't see straight.

2269
01:43:14,500 --> 01:43:16,082
Out of here!

2270
01:43:16,458 --> 01:43:17,790
Oh, Lord.

2271
01:43:17,874 --> 01:43:19,499
A little early for Mardi Gras, isn't it?

2272
01:43:19,582 --> 01:43:21,706
<i>Paris Match,</i> largest magazine in France.

2273
01:43:21,790 --> 01:43:25,374
My name is Bulgarinov, I am with
<i>Literaturnaya Gazeta</i> of Moscow.

2274
01:43:25,458 --> 01:43:27,957
Victoria Taylor, <i>British Private Eye.</i>

2275
01:43:28,458 --> 01:43:31,332
Do you know who shot the president?
Mr. Garrison is too busy...

2276
01:43:31,416 --> 01:43:32,207
Boss, I'm telling you,

2277
01:43:32,291 --> 01:43:34,748
something or somebody is putting
tremendous heat on David Ferrie.

2278
01:43:34,832 --> 01:43:37,665
If we sit on our behinds any longer,
I don't think the guy's gonna hold on.

2279
01:43:37,749 --> 01:43:38,957
Look at this bullshit!

2280
01:43:39,041 --> 01:43:40,499
He keeps changing what he says.

2281
01:43:40,582 --> 01:43:42,915
We can't possibly call him
to a grand jury.

2282
01:43:42,999 --> 01:43:44,290
Susie, watch the language,
would you please?

2283
01:43:44,374 --> 01:43:46,623
My instinct is that Ferrie is gonna
keep on deteriorating,

2284
01:43:46,707 --> 01:43:48,873
and we'll end up getting more out of him
when he finally cracks.

2285
01:43:48,957 --> 01:43:50,082
Oh, bullshit!
Now, if you start to...

2286
01:43:50,166 --> 01:43:51,915
If we call him in now, he might freeze up

2287
01:43:51,999 --> 01:43:53,540
and we'll lose the best shot we ever had.

2288
01:43:53,624 --> 01:43:55,581
You guys don't get it, do you?
He can't go down any further.

2289
01:43:55,665 --> 01:43:57,374
We got to protect him full time.

2290
01:43:57,458 --> 01:43:59,623
We don't have enough funds
to protect anybody full time.

2291
01:43:59,707 --> 01:44:01,706
I know what you're going through
with Ferrie, Lou, all right?

2292
01:44:01,790 --> 01:44:03,041
We'll talk tomorrow.

2293
01:44:03,458 --> 01:44:04,874
I got a plane to catch.

2294
01:44:05,208 --> 01:44:06,624
Going to Washington.

2295
01:44:06,916 --> 01:44:07,749
Washington?

2296
01:44:07,916 --> 01:44:11,706
Yeah, an interesting lead says he's
closely connected to these events,

2297
01:44:11,790 --> 01:44:13,165
but he won't come down here.

2298
01:44:13,249 --> 01:44:16,748
I'm onto Ferrie's Cuban paymaster,
Eladio del Valle, in Miami.

2299
01:44:16,832 --> 01:44:19,581
I tell ya, I need more men.
I got to get him in, boss.

2300
01:44:19,665 --> 01:44:21,416
I can't even pull the teams
to watch Ferrie.

2301
01:44:21,500 --> 01:44:23,082
Listen, I gave this man my word.

2302
01:44:23,166 --> 01:44:24,748
This is our case!

2303
01:44:24,832 --> 01:44:27,374
- Hold it! Hold it!
- For God's sake, Numa...

2304
01:44:28,291 --> 01:44:29,749
I got something to show you.

2305
01:44:30,291 --> 01:44:32,706
I think you'll find it very interesting.

2306
01:44:32,790 --> 01:44:34,039
Numa, what is that thing?

2307
01:44:35,166 --> 01:44:37,581
Williams found this in your office.

2308
01:44:37,665 --> 01:44:40,332
We think the conference room is also
bugged, maybe the phones.

2309
01:44:40,416 --> 01:44:42,165
We're gonna have to debug
the whole place.

2310
01:44:42,249 --> 01:44:44,873
Bugging the DA's office!
This is outrageous!

2311
01:44:44,957 --> 01:44:46,207
Mr. Ivon, it's for you.
It's urgent.

2312
01:44:46,291 --> 01:44:48,873
You can believe what you want to,
but we're gonna have to be more careful.

2313
01:44:48,957 --> 01:44:51,665
All these new volunteers, I mean,
any one of them could be...

2314
01:44:51,749 --> 01:44:54,332
Okay, Numa, you handle it, all right?
I don't have...

2315
01:44:54,416 --> 01:44:56,214
I don't have time for this nonsense.

2316
01:44:58,291 --> 01:44:59,374
Well, we...

2317
01:44:59,458 --> 01:45:02,333
We've obviously got the bastards
worried now.

2318
01:45:04,540 --> 01:45:06,500
I'm coming to Washington.

2319
01:45:12,041 --> 01:45:13,624
Dave Ferrie's dead.

2320
01:45:14,500 --> 01:45:16,997
Found his body at his apartment
a couple hours ago.

2321
01:45:42,458 --> 01:45:43,706
What's it look like, Nick?

2322
01:45:43,790 --> 01:45:46,957
I don't see any violence, Jim.
Heart attack, maybe an aneurysm.

2323
01:45:47,416 --> 01:45:49,040
Looks like natural causes.

2324
01:45:49,124 --> 01:45:51,372
This is addressed to no one,
and no signature.

2325
01:45:51,832 --> 01:45:54,790
"To leave this life is, for me,
a sweet prospect.

2326
01:45:55,041 --> 01:45:57,165
I find nothing in it that is desirable,

2327
01:45:57,249 --> 01:46:00,249
and on the other hand,
everything that is loathsome."

2328
01:46:00,832 --> 01:46:02,208
Goes on and on.

2329
01:46:02,749 --> 01:46:07,124
"Daily we are propagandized more and
more by the rising crime wave."

2330
01:46:07,749 --> 01:46:09,749
Pretty flowery for Dave Ferrie.

2331
01:46:31,208 --> 01:46:32,416
Proloid?

2332
01:46:34,749 --> 01:46:37,291
Yeah, I took it once for a low
thyroid condition.

2333
01:46:38,166 --> 01:46:40,041
It raises the metabolism, Lou.

2334
01:46:41,790 --> 01:46:45,290
Did David Ferrie strike you as the kind
of person with a low metabolism?

2335
01:46:45,374 --> 01:46:48,249
Hardly, I'd say the opposite.
Hypertension.

2336
01:46:49,333 --> 01:46:52,581
You know, Ferrie was the only one to
express any kind of remorse

2337
01:46:52,665 --> 01:46:53,874
about the whole thing.

2338
01:46:55,665 --> 01:46:57,249
I think it got him killed.

2339
01:46:57,707 --> 01:46:59,540
Lou? Boss?

2340
01:46:59,624 --> 01:47:01,457
More bad news from Miami.

2341
01:47:01,540 --> 01:47:04,790
They found Ferrie's Cuban friend,
Eladio del Valle, today.

2342
01:47:05,082 --> 01:47:07,623
Hacked to death
with a machete in his car.

2343
01:47:07,707 --> 01:47:11,082
He was tortured, shot in the heart
at point-blank range,

2344
01:47:11,166 --> 01:47:12,998
and his skull was split open with an axe.

2345
01:47:13,082 --> 01:47:14,706
Now, ain't that the devil's piss.

2346
01:47:14,790 --> 01:47:18,249
Found another note, same thing,
no name, no signature.

2347
01:47:18,333 --> 01:47:22,957
"When you receive this, I will be quite
dead, so no answer will be possible.

2348
01:47:23,041 --> 01:47:25,165
- I offered you love, and all I got..."
- Jesus.

2349
01:47:25,249 --> 01:47:27,540
They must've been hard pressed
to come up with that one.

2350
01:47:27,624 --> 01:47:29,273
Nick, can I have a word with you?

2351
01:47:30,124 --> 01:47:32,665
What would happen if a man suffering
from hypertension

2352
01:47:32,749 --> 01:47:35,124
were to take an entire bottle of Proloid?

2353
01:47:35,208 --> 01:47:36,374
He'd die pretty quick,

2354
01:47:36,458 --> 01:47:39,455
either a heart storm or a ruptured
blood vessel in the brain.

2355
01:47:39,540 --> 01:47:40,540
Uh-huh.

2356
01:47:40,624 --> 01:47:43,291
Can you ascertain if there's Proloid
in his system?

2357
01:47:43,790 --> 01:47:45,540
Not in a routine autopsy.

2358
01:47:45,749 --> 01:47:49,165
But if we looked at the spinal fluid,
there might be a high level of iodine,

2359
01:47:49,249 --> 01:47:51,040
but it's difficult to know.

2360
01:47:51,124 --> 01:47:52,291
What you thinking, Jim?

2361
01:47:54,208 --> 01:47:55,748
I don't know,
it doesn't make sense, Nick.

2362
01:47:55,832 --> 01:47:57,581
I mean, the man's afraid of dying,

2363
01:47:57,665 --> 01:48:00,582
then he kills himself in a way
that leaves no trace?

2364
01:48:02,249 --> 01:48:04,665
But he leaves two unsigned suicide notes?

2365
01:48:05,208 --> 01:48:08,041
If it's a suicide, I seen weirder, Jim.

2366
01:48:08,790 --> 01:48:11,998
The fact is he's gone, chief,
and so is our case.

2367
01:48:12,082 --> 01:48:13,832
Unless we go for Shaw now.

2368
01:48:13,916 --> 01:48:17,291
With whose testimony?
Willie O'Keefe, a male prostitute?

2369
01:48:17,665 --> 01:48:20,623
Jack Martin, a drunk?
Vernon Bundy, a dope fiend?

2370
01:48:20,707 --> 01:48:22,499
Shaw's got respect, Lou.

2371
01:48:22,582 --> 01:48:24,957
Newspaper editors,
the American Bar Association...

2372
01:48:25,041 --> 01:48:25,873
I agree with Bill.

2373
01:48:25,957 --> 01:48:27,706
- We haven't got the goods yet!
- We wait...

2374
01:48:27,790 --> 01:48:29,957
Shaw's gonna get whacked.
Now, how many corpses is it gonna take

2375
01:48:30,041 --> 01:48:32,040
before you lawyers figure out
what's going on?

2376
01:48:32,124 --> 01:48:34,521
You watch your mouth!
Ferrie did this to himself.

2377
01:48:34,874 --> 01:48:36,333
Where you going, boss?

2378
01:48:36,458 --> 01:48:39,832
I don't know, Bill.
I just don't know.

2379
01:48:44,333 --> 01:48:46,281
- Hey, Bill!
- Hey, where you at, Frank?

2380
01:48:46,665 --> 01:48:50,540
You're wasting your time here. Big Jim
gave strict orders, no FBI allowed.

2381
01:48:50,624 --> 01:48:52,374
- It's you I want to talk to, Bill.
- No, no.

2382
01:48:52,458 --> 01:48:54,748
Boss would fry me in hog fat
if he knew I talked to you.

2383
01:48:54,832 --> 01:48:56,457
Your boss got a serious problem, Bill.

2384
01:48:56,540 --> 01:48:57,581
Real serious.

2385
01:48:57,665 --> 01:48:59,540
We know what's been going on
over at your office.

2386
01:48:59,624 --> 01:49:01,040
Yeah, I guess you do.

2387
01:49:01,124 --> 01:49:03,457
You've got nothin', Bill.
I'm talking as a friend now.

2388
01:49:03,540 --> 01:49:05,124
You're riding on the Titanic.

2389
01:49:05,208 --> 01:49:08,124
Time to jump off before you get
destroyed along with Garrison.

2390
01:49:08,208 --> 01:49:09,623
Frank, I don't want to hear this.

2391
01:49:09,707 --> 01:49:11,957
We're talking about your career,
here, Bill, your life.

2392
01:49:12,041 --> 01:49:13,291
You're a young guy.

2393
01:49:13,790 --> 01:49:15,332
We know you're working that Castro thing.

2394
01:49:15,416 --> 01:49:16,864
- No, I'm not.
- Yes, you are.

2395
01:49:16,957 --> 01:49:19,332
Look we know Oswald didn't pull
that trigger.

2396
01:49:19,416 --> 01:49:20,458
Castro did.

2397
01:49:21,374 --> 01:49:23,082
But if that comes out,
there's gonna be a war, boy.

2398
01:49:23,166 --> 01:49:24,832
Millions of people are gonna die.

2399
01:49:24,916 --> 01:49:27,332
And that's a hell of a lot more important
than Jim Garrison.

2400
01:49:27,416 --> 01:49:29,665
Goddammit, look at me when I talk to you!

2401
01:49:29,749 --> 01:49:31,416
- You're goddamn too self-opinionated...
- I can't, I can't!

2402
01:49:31,500 --> 01:49:32,500
Shut up! Shut up!

2403
01:49:33,124 --> 01:49:35,873
If you got a brain in that thick skull
of yours, you'll listen to me.

2404
01:49:35,957 --> 01:49:37,582
You listen real hard.

2405
01:49:38,416 --> 01:49:39,624
Now, get in the car.

2406
01:50:01,458 --> 01:50:02,707
Jim Garrison?

2407
01:50:04,291 --> 01:50:05,249
Yes.

2408
01:50:06,291 --> 01:50:07,832
I'm glad you came.

2409
01:50:07,916 --> 01:50:09,957
Sorry about the precautions.

2410
01:50:10,041 --> 01:50:12,582
Well, I just hope it was
worth my while, Mr...

2411
01:50:13,749 --> 01:50:15,847
I could give you a false name,
but I won't.

2412
01:50:16,291 --> 01:50:17,582
Just call me "X."

2413
01:50:19,082 --> 01:50:22,249
I've already been warned by the Agency,
Mr. Whoever, so

2414
01:50:22,333 --> 01:50:24,416
if this is another type of threat,
I don't...

2415
01:50:24,500 --> 01:50:26,416
I'm not with the Agency,
Mr. Garrison.

2416
01:50:27,291 --> 01:50:30,874
And I assume if you've come this far,
what I have to say interests you.

2417
01:50:31,291 --> 01:50:34,687
But I'm not going to name names, or
tell you who or what I represent.

2418
01:50:35,166 --> 01:50:36,832
Except to say you're close.

2419
01:50:38,416 --> 01:50:39,916
Closer than you think.

2420
01:50:40,916 --> 01:50:41,957
Okay?

2421
01:50:43,749 --> 01:50:46,458
Everything I'm gonna tell you
is classified top secret.

2422
01:50:47,500 --> 01:50:49,291
I was a soldier, Mr. Garrison.

2423
01:50:49,540 --> 01:50:50,582
Two wars.

2424
01:50:51,249 --> 01:50:53,540
I was one of those secret guys in the
Pentagon

2425
01:50:53,624 --> 01:50:56,957
that supplies the military hardware,
planes, bullets, rifles...

2426
01:50:57,500 --> 01:50:59,707
for what we call
"Black Operations."

2427
01:51:00,291 --> 01:51:01,416
"Black Ops."

2428
01:51:01,500 --> 01:51:05,374
Assassinations, coup d'états, rigging
elections, propaganda, psych warfare,

2429
01:51:05,458 --> 01:51:06,374
and so forth.

2430
01:51:06,790 --> 01:51:10,333
World War ll, I was in Romania,
Greece, Yugoslavia.

2431
01:51:10,957 --> 01:51:13,665
I helped evacuate part of the Nazi
intelligence apparatus

2432
01:51:13,749 --> 01:51:15,298
just before the end of the war.

2433
01:51:15,416 --> 01:51:18,166
We used those guys in the fight against
the communists.

2434
01:51:18,458 --> 01:51:23,291
In Italy '48, stole the elections.
France '49, broke the strikes.

2435
01:51:23,707 --> 01:51:28,041
Overthrew Quirino in the Philippines,
Arbenz in Guatemala, Mossadegh in Iran.

2436
01:51:28,333 --> 01:51:32,749
<i>We were in Vietnam in '54,
Indonesia '58, Tibet '59.</i>

2437
01:51:33,291 --> 01:51:34,874
Got the Dalai Lama out.

2438
01:51:35,957 --> 01:51:36,916
We were good.

2439
01:51:37,707 --> 01:51:38,916
Very good.

2440
01:51:39,874 --> 01:51:42,790
Then we get into the Cuban thing.
Not so good.

2441
01:51:42,874 --> 01:51:46,332
Set up all the bases for the invasion
supposed to take place in October '62.

2442
01:51:46,416 --> 01:51:47,290
Mm-hmm.

2443
01:51:47,374 --> 01:51:50,540
Khrushchev sent the missiles to resist
the invasion, Kennedy didn't invade,

2444
01:51:50,624 --> 01:51:53,124
and we were standing out there
with our dicks in the wind.

2445
01:51:53,208 --> 01:51:55,999
A lot of pissed-off people,
Mr. Garrison.

2446
01:51:56,458 --> 01:51:57,500
You understand?

2447
01:51:58,208 --> 01:51:59,707
I'll come to that later.

2448
01:52:00,333 --> 01:52:02,665
So... 1963.

2449
01:52:03,249 --> 01:52:06,208
I spent much of September '63

2450
01:52:06,416 --> 01:52:09,374
working on the Kennedy plan
for getting all US personnel

2451
01:52:09,458 --> 01:52:12,374
out of Vietnam by the end of 1965.

2452
01:52:12,749 --> 01:52:15,832
This plan was one of the strongest,
most important papers issued

2453
01:52:15,916 --> 01:52:17,207
from the Kennedy White House.

2454
01:52:17,291 --> 01:52:19,832
His National Security Action Memo 263

2455
01:52:19,916 --> 01:52:22,374
ordered home the first 1,000 troops
for Christmas.

2456
01:52:22,999 --> 01:52:24,207
<i>But then in November,</i>

2457
01:52:24,291 --> 01:52:27,374
<i>One week after the murder of
Vietnamese President Diem in Saigon,</i>

2458
01:52:27,458 --> 01:52:29,957
<i>and two weeks before the
assassination of our president,</i>

2459
01:52:30,041 --> 01:52:31,999
<i>a strange thing happened to me.</i>

2460
01:52:40,249 --> 01:52:40,999
Colonel.

2461
01:52:41,124 --> 01:52:44,121
Excuse me, I got a note saying you
wanted to see me, General?

2462
01:52:44,333 --> 01:52:45,249
I do indeed.

2463
01:52:45,832 --> 01:52:47,624
You are going to the South Pole.

2464
01:52:48,582 --> 01:52:49,416
I am?

2465
01:52:49,624 --> 01:52:50,374
You are.

2466
01:52:50,458 --> 01:52:53,332
Dr. Mooney's got the details,
I want you to check with him.

2467
01:52:53,416 --> 01:52:55,041
Have yourself a nice vacation.

2468
01:52:55,540 --> 01:52:58,416
<i>I was sent by my superior officer,
we'll call him "Y"...</i>

2469
01:52:58,790 --> 01:53:01,749
<i>I was sent by General Y
to the South Pole...</i>

2470
01:53:02,500 --> 01:53:05,999
<i>as the military escort for a group
of international VIPs.</i>

2471
01:53:06,749 --> 01:53:09,749
<i>I was on my way back, in New Zealand...</i>

2472
01:53:10,790 --> 01:53:12,374
<i>when the president was killed.</i>

2473
01:53:14,166 --> 01:53:15,082
Now...

2474
01:53:15,166 --> 01:53:19,082
Oswald was charged at 7 p.m.
Dallas time with Tippit's murder.

2475
01:53:19,166 --> 01:53:23,124
<i>That's 2:00 in the afternoon of the
next day, New Zealand time.</i>

2476
01:53:23,208 --> 01:53:24,290
<i>But already</i>

2477
01:53:24,374 --> 01:53:26,290
<i>their papers had the entire history</i>

2478
01:53:26,374 --> 01:53:29,207
<i>of this unknown 24-year-old man, Oswald,</i>

2479
01:53:29,291 --> 01:53:32,581
<i>studio picture, detailed biographical
data, Russian information,</i>

2480
01:53:32,665 --> 01:53:35,623
<i>and were pretty sure of the fact that
he killed the president alone,</i>

2481
01:53:35,707 --> 01:53:37,416
<i>although it took them four more hours</i>

2482
01:53:37,500 --> 01:53:40,197
<i>before they even charged him with
that crime in Dallas.</i>

2483
01:53:42,458 --> 01:53:43,874
It felt to me as if...

2484
01:53:45,374 --> 01:53:47,581
well, a cover story was being put out,

2485
01:53:47,665 --> 01:53:49,208
like we would in a Black Op.

2486
01:53:50,374 --> 01:53:52,790
Anyway, after I came back...

2487
01:53:53,416 --> 01:53:54,748
I asked myself,

2488
01:53:54,832 --> 01:53:58,790
why was I, the chief of special ops,
selected to travel to the South Pole

2489
01:53:58,874 --> 01:54:02,124
at that time to do a job that any number
of others could have done?

2490
01:54:02,208 --> 01:54:04,374
And I wondered if
it could've been because...

2491
01:54:04,458 --> 01:54:07,082
One of my routine duties,
if I had been in Washington,

2492
01:54:07,166 --> 01:54:09,623
would've been to arrange
for additional security in Texas.

2493
01:54:09,707 --> 01:54:11,540
So I decided to check it out,

2494
01:54:11,624 --> 01:54:13,082
and sure enough, I found out

2495
01:54:13,166 --> 01:54:16,457
that someone had told the 112th
Military Intelligence Group

2496
01:54:16,540 --> 01:54:20,166
at 4th Army Headquarters at Fort Sam
Houston to "stand down" that day

2497
01:54:20,374 --> 01:54:23,832
over the protests of the unit commander,
Colonel Reich.

2498
01:54:23,916 --> 01:54:24,957
I believe it's a mistake.

2499
01:54:25,041 --> 01:54:28,290
Now this is significant because it is
standard operating procedure,

2500
01:54:28,374 --> 01:54:31,082
especially in a known hostile city
like Dallas,

2501
01:54:31,166 --> 01:54:32,832
to supplement the Secret Service.

2502
01:54:32,916 --> 01:54:35,082
<i>I mean, even if we had not allowed
the bubbletop</i>

2503
01:54:35,166 --> 01:54:36,665
<i>to be removed from the limousine,</i>

2504
01:54:36,749 --> 01:54:41,082
<i>we would've placed at least 100 to 200
agents on the sidewalk, without question.</i>

2505
01:54:41,458 --> 01:54:43,082
I mean, only a month before in Dallas,

2506
01:54:43,166 --> 01:54:45,706
UN Ambassador Adlai Stevenson
was spit on and hit.

2507
01:54:45,790 --> 01:54:47,249
- Right, yeah.
- There had already been several attempts

2508
01:54:47,333 --> 01:54:48,706
on de Gaulle's life in France.

2509
01:54:48,790 --> 01:54:50,748
We would have arrived days ahead of time,

2510
01:54:50,832 --> 01:54:52,832
<i>studied the route,
checked all the buildings,</i>

2511
01:54:52,916 --> 01:54:55,748
<i>never would've allowed all those wide-open
empty windows overlooking Dealey.</i>

2512
01:54:55,832 --> 01:54:56,581
<i>Never!</i>

2513
01:54:56,665 --> 01:54:58,665
We'd've had our own snipers
covering the area.

2514
01:54:58,749 --> 01:55:01,082
The minute a window went up,
they'd have been on the radio.

2515
01:55:01,166 --> 01:55:02,290
<i>We'd've been watching the crowd,</i>

2516
01:55:02,374 --> 01:55:04,665
<i>packages, rolled-up newspapers,
coat over an arm,</i>

2517
01:55:04,749 --> 01:55:07,207
<i>never would have let a man
open an umbrella along the way.</i>

2518
01:55:07,291 --> 01:55:10,082
<i>Never would've allowed that limousine
to slow down to 10 miles an hour,</i>

2519
01:55:10,166 --> 01:55:12,763
<i>much less take that unusual curve
at Houston and Elm.</i>

2520
01:55:13,500 --> 01:55:16,581
You would have felt an Army presence
in the streets that day,

2521
01:55:16,665 --> 01:55:18,290
but none of this happened.

2522
01:55:18,374 --> 01:55:22,040
It was a violation of the most basic
protection codes we have.

2523
01:55:22,124 --> 01:55:25,500
And it is the best indication of
a massive plot in Dallas.

2524
01:55:27,166 --> 01:55:28,999
Now who could've best done this?

2525
01:55:29,333 --> 01:55:31,623
Black Ops, Mr. Garrison.
People in my business.

2526
01:55:31,707 --> 01:55:34,915
People like my superior officer could've
called Colonel Reich and said

2527
01:55:34,999 --> 01:55:38,332
"Look, we have another unit coming from
so and so providing security.

2528
01:55:38,416 --> 01:55:40,457
You'll stand down."
I mean, that day, in fact,

2529
01:55:40,540 --> 01:55:43,040
<i>there were some individual
Army Intelligence people in Dallas</i>

2530
01:55:43,124 --> 01:55:45,165
<i>I'm still trying to figure out
who and why.</i>

2531
01:55:45,249 --> 01:55:46,998
<i>But they weren't protecting the client.</i>

2532
01:55:47,082 --> 01:55:48,416
<i>And, of course, Oswald.</i>

2533
01:55:48,665 --> 01:55:51,749
Army Intel had a
"Harvey Lee Oswald" on file...

2534
01:55:52,082 --> 01:55:54,291
but all those files have been destroyed.

2535
01:55:54,665 --> 01:55:55,915
Many strange things were happening,

2536
01:55:55,999 --> 01:55:58,957
and your Lee Harvey Oswald
had nothing to do with them.

2537
01:56:01,082 --> 01:56:03,499
We had the entire cabinet
on a trip to the Far East.

2538
01:56:03,582 --> 01:56:06,706
We had one third of a combat division
returning from Germany

2539
01:56:06,790 --> 01:56:10,041
in the air above the United States
at the time of the shooting.

2540
01:56:10,624 --> 01:56:14,499
At 12:34 p.m., the entire telephone
system went out in Washington

2541
01:56:14,582 --> 01:56:16,165
for a solid hour,

2542
01:56:16,249 --> 01:56:18,290
<i>and on the plane back to Washington,</i>

2543
01:56:18,374 --> 01:56:21,581
<i>word was radioed from the White House
Situations Room to Lyndon Johnson</i>

2544
01:56:21,665 --> 01:56:23,665
<i>that one individual performed
the assassination.</i>

2545
01:56:23,749 --> 01:56:26,165
Does that sound like a bunch
of coincidences to you, Mr. Garrison?

2546
01:56:26,249 --> 01:56:27,040
No.

2547
01:56:27,124 --> 01:56:28,124
Not for one moment.

2548
01:56:29,041 --> 01:56:32,540
The cabinet was out of the country
to get their perceptions out of the way.

2549
01:56:32,624 --> 01:56:34,623
Troops were in the air for
possible riot control.

2550
01:56:34,707 --> 01:56:36,998
The telephones didn't work to keep
the wrong stories from spreading

2551
01:56:37,082 --> 01:56:38,832
if anything went wrong with the plan.

2552
01:56:38,916 --> 01:56:40,416
Nothing was left to chance.

2553
01:56:40,749 --> 01:56:43,707
He could not be allowed to escape alive.

2554
01:56:46,665 --> 01:56:49,313
Well, I never thought things were
the same after that.

2555
01:56:50,582 --> 01:56:51,832
Vietnam started for real.

2556
01:56:51,916 --> 01:56:53,499
There was an air of...

2557
01:56:53,582 --> 01:56:54,416
I don't know,

2558
01:56:54,500 --> 01:56:56,915
make-believe in the Pentagon and the CIA.

2559
01:56:56,999 --> 01:56:59,082
Those of us who'd been in secret ops
since the beginning

2560
01:56:59,166 --> 01:57:01,214
knew the Warren Commission was fiction...

2561
01:57:01,832 --> 01:57:03,500
but there was something...

2562
01:57:03,874 --> 01:57:05,124
something deeper.

2563
01:57:05,500 --> 01:57:06,540
Uglier.

2564
01:57:06,624 --> 01:57:09,998
I knew Allen Dulles very well,
I briefed him many a time in his house.

2565
01:57:10,082 --> 01:57:12,790
But for the life of me, I still
can't figure out why he was appointed

2566
01:57:12,874 --> 01:57:14,165
to investigate Kennedy's death.

2567
01:57:14,249 --> 01:57:15,582
<i>The man who had fired him.</i>

2568
01:57:15,916 --> 01:57:19,166
Dulles, by the way,
was General Y's benefactor.

2569
01:57:21,374 --> 01:57:23,041
I get out in '64.

2570
01:57:23,665 --> 01:57:25,333
Resigned my commission.

2571
01:57:27,124 --> 01:57:30,416
I never realized Kennedy was so
dangerous to the establishment.

2572
01:57:31,832 --> 01:57:32,999
Is that why?

2573
01:57:33,874 --> 01:57:35,623
That's the real question, isn't it?

2574
01:57:35,707 --> 01:57:36,539
"Why?"

2575
01:57:36,916 --> 01:57:40,540
The "how" and the "who" is just
scenery for the public.

2576
01:57:41,124 --> 01:57:44,374
Oswald, Ruby, Cuba, the mafia...

2577
01:57:44,707 --> 01:57:46,540
keeps them guessing like some kind
of parlor game,

2578
01:57:46,624 --> 01:57:49,671
prevents them from asking the most
important question: "Why?"

2579
01:57:49,957 --> 01:57:51,706
Why was Kennedy killed?

2580
01:57:51,790 --> 01:57:53,082
Who benefitted?

2581
01:57:53,374 --> 01:57:55,082
Who has the power to cover it up?

2582
01:57:55,582 --> 01:57:56,624
Who?

2583
01:57:59,874 --> 01:58:01,707
In 1961...

2584
01:58:02,874 --> 01:58:04,040
right after the Bay of Pigs...

2585
01:58:04,124 --> 01:58:06,222
<i>Very few people
know about this, all right?</i>

2586
01:58:06,957 --> 01:58:11,790
<i>I participated in drawing up National
Security Action Memos 55, 56, 57.</i>

2587
01:58:11,874 --> 01:58:13,374
- General?
<i>- These are crucial documents,</i>

2588
01:58:13,458 --> 01:58:16,540
<i>classified top secret, but
basically in them...</i>

2589
01:58:16,624 --> 01:58:19,249
<i>Kennedy instructed General Lemnitzer,
chairman of the Joint Chiefs,</i>

2590
01:58:19,333 --> 01:58:20,748
<i>that from here on forward,</i>

2591
01:58:20,832 --> 01:58:23,581
<i>the Joint Chiefs of Staff would be
wholly responsible</i>

2592
01:58:23,665 --> 01:58:26,458
<i>for all covert paramilitary action
in peacetime.</i>

2593
01:58:26,874 --> 01:58:29,416
<i>This basically ended the reign
of the CIA.</i>

2594
01:58:29,624 --> 01:58:32,040
<i>Splintered it, as JFK promised he would,</i>

2595
01:58:32,124 --> 01:58:33,374
<i>into a thousand pieces,</i>

2596
01:58:33,458 --> 01:58:36,623
<i>and now he was ordering the military
to help him do it.</i>

2597
01:58:36,707 --> 01:58:37,874
<i>This was unprecedented!</i>

2598
01:58:38,124 --> 01:58:39,540
I can't tell you

2599
01:58:39,624 --> 01:58:42,873
the shock waves that this sent along the
corridors of power in Washington.

2600
01:58:42,957 --> 01:58:45,706
This and, of course, the firing of
Allen Dulles, Richard Bissell,

2601
01:58:45,790 --> 01:58:47,239
<i>and General Charles Cabell...</i>

2602
01:58:47,624 --> 01:58:50,832
<i>all of them sacred cows in Intel
since World War ll.</i>

2603
01:58:51,458 --> 01:58:53,458
<i>You got some very upset people here.</i>

2604
01:58:54,665 --> 01:58:57,623
Kennedy's directives were never really
implemented because of

2605
01:58:57,707 --> 01:58:59,916
bureaucratic resistance...

2606
01:59:00,707 --> 01:59:02,500
but one of the results was...

2607
01:59:02,999 --> 01:59:06,540
the Cuban operation was turned over
to my department...

2608
01:59:07,166 --> 01:59:08,957
as "Operation Mongoose."

2609
01:59:09,832 --> 01:59:12,166
Mongoose was pure Black Ops.

2610
01:59:12,416 --> 01:59:15,665
It was secretly based in the south
campus of Miami University,

2611
01:59:15,874 --> 01:59:18,707
which was the largest domestic
CIA station...

2612
01:59:19,124 --> 01:59:21,821
budgeted annually over hundreds
of millions of dollars.

2613
01:59:22,166 --> 01:59:25,208
Three hundred agents,
7,000 select Cubans...

2614
01:59:25,749 --> 01:59:28,082
50 fake business fronts for
laundering money.

2615
01:59:28,540 --> 01:59:30,999
They waged non-stop war against Castro.

2616
01:59:31,166 --> 01:59:33,916
Industrial sabotage, crop burning,
the works.

2617
01:59:34,208 --> 01:59:36,832
And all of this came under
the control of General Y.

2618
01:59:37,249 --> 01:59:40,082
All he did was take the rules of covert
warfare he'd used abroad,

2619
01:59:40,166 --> 01:59:41,914
<i>and brought them into this country.</i>

2620
01:59:41,999 --> 01:59:44,447
<i>Now he had the people,
the equipment, the bases...</i>

2621
01:59:44,957 --> 01:59:46,249
<i>and the motivation.</i>

2622
01:59:46,582 --> 01:59:49,374
And don't underestimate the budget
cuts that Kennedy called for

2623
01:59:49,458 --> 01:59:50,916
in March of '63 either.

2624
01:59:51,458 --> 01:59:56,623
Nearly 52 military installations in
25 states, 21 overseas bases.

2625
01:59:56,707 --> 01:59:57,957
You're talking big money.

2626
01:59:58,291 --> 02:00:00,915
You know how many helicopters have
been lost in Vietnam?

2627
02:00:00,999 --> 02:00:01,916
Hmm?

2628
02:00:02,582 --> 02:00:04,916
Nearly 3,000 so far.

2629
02:00:05,249 --> 02:00:08,208
<i>Who makes them?
Bell Helicopter. Who owns Bell?</i>

2630
02:00:08,665 --> 02:00:11,540
Well, Bell was nearly bankrupt when
the First National Bank of Boston

2631
02:00:11,624 --> 02:00:15,249
approached the CIA about developing
the helicopter for Indochina usage.

2632
02:00:15,333 --> 02:00:16,957
How about the F-111 fighters?

2633
02:00:17,291 --> 02:00:19,916
<i>General Dynamics of Fort Worth,
Texas. Who owns that?</i>

2634
02:00:20,249 --> 02:00:22,596
Find out the defense budget
since the war began.

2635
02:00:22,874 --> 02:00:25,249
Seventy-five going on 100 billion.

2636
02:00:25,540 --> 02:00:27,988
Nearly 200 billion will be spent
before it's over.

2637
02:00:28,874 --> 02:00:30,874
In 1949, it was 10 billion.

2638
02:00:30,999 --> 02:00:33,166
No war, no money.

2639
02:00:33,957 --> 02:00:38,999
The organizing principle of any society,
Mr. Garrison, is for war.

2640
02:00:39,582 --> 02:00:43,582
The authority of the state over its people
resides in its war powers.

2641
02:00:43,874 --> 02:00:46,721
And Kennedy wanted to end the Cold War
in his second term.

2642
02:00:46,957 --> 02:00:50,665
He wanted to call off the moon race
in favor of cooperation with the Soviets.

2643
02:00:50,749 --> 02:00:53,124
He signed a treaty with the Soviets
to ban nuclear testing,

2644
02:00:53,208 --> 02:00:56,040
he refused to invade Cuba in 1962,

2645
02:00:56,124 --> 02:00:58,166
and he set out to withdraw from Vietnam.

2646
02:00:59,916 --> 02:01:03,832
But all of that ended on
the 22nd of November, 1963.

2647
02:01:04,665 --> 02:01:09,082
<i>As early as 1961 they knew Kennedy was
not going to go to war in Southeast Asia.</i>

2648
02:01:09,458 --> 02:01:13,165
<i>Like Caesar, he is surrounded by enemies
and something's underway,</i>

2649
02:01:13,249 --> 02:01:16,748
<i>but it has no face,
yet everybody in the loop knows.</i>

2650
02:01:16,832 --> 02:01:18,499
You can forget about your combat troops.

2651
02:01:18,582 --> 02:01:22,333
He told McNamara he is gonna pull out
the goddamned advisors!

2652
02:01:23,249 --> 02:01:28,082
He fucked us in Laos, and now,
he is gonna fuck us in goddamn Vietnam!

2653
02:01:28,208 --> 02:01:31,255
He won't implement it before
the election, he can't afford to.

2654
02:01:31,500 --> 02:01:33,873
I hear the NSC meeting
was a real barn-burner.

2655
02:01:33,957 --> 02:01:37,457
I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
Heads are gonna roll everywhere.

2656
02:01:37,540 --> 02:01:39,040
Did you hear what Lemnitzer did?

2657
02:01:39,124 --> 02:01:39,957
What happened?

2658
02:01:40,041 --> 02:01:43,540
Kennedy tried to rub Lem's nose in shit,
saying if we didn't go into Cuba,

2659
02:01:43,624 --> 02:01:48,124
which is so close, why should we go into
Vietnam, which is so far away.

2660
02:01:48,208 --> 02:01:51,165
Son of a bitch, there he goes again.
He's got his hands on the chicken switch.

2661
02:01:51,249 --> 02:01:55,207
Anyway, Lem said that the Chiefs still
think we oughta go into Cuba.

2662
02:01:55,291 --> 02:01:57,707
Money's at stake. Big money.

2663
02:01:57,999 --> 02:01:59,790
Hundred billion dollars.

2664
02:02:00,333 --> 02:02:03,499
Kennedy brothers target voting districts
for those defense dollars.

2665
02:02:03,582 --> 02:02:05,165
<i>They give TFX fighter contracts</i>

2666
02:02:05,249 --> 02:02:07,957
<i>only to those counties that are gonna
make a difference in '64.</i>

2667
02:02:08,041 --> 02:02:10,873
<i>And the people in the loop,
they fight back. Their way.</i>

2668
02:02:10,957 --> 02:02:13,790
We have to control the intelligence
from Saigon.

2669
02:02:13,874 --> 02:02:17,624
Well, just don't let McNamara start
sticking his damn nose in this thing!

2670
02:02:17,999 --> 02:02:21,957
Every time he goes over to Saigon on
some fuckin' fact-finding mission,

2671
02:02:22,041 --> 02:02:25,166
he comes back and just scares
the shit out of the president!

2672
02:02:25,416 --> 02:02:29,416
Now I want Max Taylor on him night
and day, like a fly on shit.

2673
02:02:30,249 --> 02:02:34,416
Now you control McNamara,
then you control Kennedy.

2674
02:02:34,540 --> 02:02:36,124
<i>I think it started like that...</i>

2675
02:02:36,374 --> 02:02:37,748
in the wind.

2676
02:02:37,832 --> 02:02:41,249
Defense contractors, big oil bankers.
Just conversations, nothing more.

2677
02:02:41,333 --> 02:02:45,665
Then, a call is made, maybe to someone
like my superior officer, General Y.

2678
02:02:45,957 --> 02:02:48,290
- Yeah?
<i>- We're going.</i>

2679
02:02:48,374 --> 02:02:49,832
<i>We need your help.</i>

2680
02:02:49,916 --> 02:02:54,374
<i>- When?
- In the fall, probably in the South.</i>

2681
02:02:54,500 --> 02:02:57,499
<i>- We want you to come up with a plan.</i>
- I can do that.

2682
02:02:57,582 --> 02:03:00,999
<i>Everything is cellularized.
No one has said, "He must die."</i>

2683
02:03:01,291 --> 02:03:04,999
There's been no vote, nothing's on paper,
there's no one to blame.

2684
02:03:05,124 --> 02:03:07,624
It's as old as the crucifixion.

2685
02:03:07,790 --> 02:03:09,916
Or the military firing squad.

2686
02:03:10,291 --> 02:03:13,665
Five bullets, one blank.
No one's guilty.

2687
02:03:13,916 --> 02:03:16,040
Because everyone in the power structure
who knows anything

2688
02:03:16,124 --> 02:03:17,790
<i>has a plausible deniability.</i>

2689
02:03:17,916 --> 02:03:21,874
<i>There are no compromising connections,
except at the most secret point.</i>

2690
02:03:22,665 --> 02:03:26,082
<i>But what's paramount, is that it must
succeed, no matter how many die,</i>

2691
02:03:26,166 --> 02:03:30,207
<i>no matter how much it costs, the
perpetrators must be on the winning side.</i>

2692
02:03:30,291 --> 02:03:34,624
<i>And never subject to prosecution
for anything by anyone.</i>

2693
02:03:34,874 --> 02:03:36,957
<i>That is a coup d'état.</i>

2694
02:03:40,957 --> 02:03:43,624
Kennedy announces
the Texas trip in September.

2695
02:03:44,082 --> 02:03:47,748
At that moment, second Oswalds
start popping up all over Dallas,

2696
02:03:47,832 --> 02:03:50,416
<i>where they have the mayor
and the cops in their pocket.</i>

2697
02:03:50,500 --> 02:03:52,748
<i>General Y flies in the assassins.</i>

2698
02:03:52,832 --> 02:03:56,374
<i>Maybe from the special camp we keep
outside Athens, Greece.</i>

2699
02:03:56,707 --> 02:03:57,665
<i>Pros.</i>

2700
02:03:57,749 --> 02:04:01,249
<i>Maybe locals, Cubans, mafia hire.
Separate teams.</i>

2701
02:04:01,749 --> 02:04:05,500
<i>Does it really matter who shot
from what rooftop?</i>

2702
02:04:07,208 --> 02:04:09,165
<i>Part of the scenery, right?</i>

2703
02:04:09,249 --> 02:04:13,665
I keep thinking about that day,
Tuesday, the 26th of November.

2704
02:04:13,749 --> 02:04:15,623
<i>The day after they buried Kennedy.</i>

2705
02:04:15,707 --> 02:04:20,040
Gentlemen, I want you to know, I'm
not gonna let Vietnam go like China did.

2706
02:04:20,124 --> 02:04:21,957
I'm personally committed.

2707
02:04:22,041 --> 02:04:24,082
And I'm not gonna take one soldier
outta there

2708
02:04:24,166 --> 02:04:26,624
till they know we mean business in Asia.

2709
02:04:26,790 --> 02:04:30,290
<i>Lyndon Johnson signs
National Security Memo 273,</i>

2710
02:04:30,374 --> 02:04:32,915
<i>which essentially reverses Kennedy's
new withdrawal policy</i>

2711
02:04:32,999 --> 02:04:35,873
<i>and gives the green light to covert
action against North Vietnam,</i>

2712
02:04:35,957 --> 02:04:37,915
<i>which provoked
the Gulf of Tonkin incident.</i>

2713
02:04:37,999 --> 02:04:41,416
Just get me elected,
I'll give you your damn war.

2714
02:04:43,124 --> 02:04:44,374
<i>In that document...</i>

2715
02:04:45,916 --> 02:04:47,166
lay the Vietnam War.

2716
02:04:51,291 --> 02:04:52,707
I don't... I can't...

2717
02:04:53,082 --> 02:04:56,578
I can't believe it. They killed him
because he wanted to change things?

2718
02:04:57,999 --> 02:04:59,249
In our time?

2719
02:04:59,333 --> 02:05:01,290
- They been doing it all through history.
- In our country?

2720
02:05:01,374 --> 02:05:05,166
Kings are killed, Mr. Garrison.
Politics is power, nothing more.

2721
02:05:05,916 --> 02:05:07,748
Oh, don't take my word for it.
Don't believe me.

2722
02:05:07,832 --> 02:05:09,790
Do your own work, your own thinking.

2723
02:05:11,916 --> 02:05:13,749
The size of this is...

2724
02:05:14,166 --> 02:05:15,582
beyond me.

2725
02:05:16,291 --> 02:05:17,500
Testify?

2726
02:05:17,749 --> 02:05:19,082
- Me?
- Testify.

2727
02:05:20,874 --> 02:05:22,291
No chance in hell.

2728
02:05:22,916 --> 02:05:25,623
No, I'd be arrested and gagged.

2729
02:05:25,707 --> 02:05:28,624
Maybe sent to an institution,
maybe worse. You, too.

2730
02:05:29,624 --> 02:05:31,374
I can give you the background.

2731
02:05:31,458 --> 02:05:33,790
You have to find the foreground,
the little things.

2732
02:05:33,874 --> 02:05:34,623
Keep digging.

2733
02:05:34,707 --> 02:05:37,790
Remember, you're the only person to bring
a trial in the murder of John Kennedy.

2734
02:05:37,874 --> 02:05:39,832
That's important, it's historic.

2735
02:05:40,749 --> 02:05:41,916
I haven't yet.

2736
02:05:42,999 --> 02:05:45,500
I don't have much of a case.

2737
02:05:46,540 --> 02:05:48,416
You don't have a choice anymore.

2738
02:05:48,749 --> 02:05:52,458
You've become a significant threat to
the national security structure.

2739
02:05:52,790 --> 02:05:55,790
They would've killed you already, but
you got a lot of light on you.

2740
02:05:55,874 --> 02:05:57,957
Instead, they're trying to destroy
your credibility.

2741
02:05:58,041 --> 02:06:00,339
They already have in many circles
in this town.

2742
02:06:00,582 --> 02:06:01,540
Be honest.

2743
02:06:02,166 --> 02:06:04,582
Your only chance is to come up
with a case.

2744
02:06:04,790 --> 02:06:06,665
Something, anything.

2745
02:06:07,124 --> 02:06:10,166
Make arrests, stir the shitstorm.

2746
02:06:10,374 --> 02:06:13,540
Hope to reach a point of critical mass
that'll start a chain reaction

2747
02:06:13,624 --> 02:06:14,874
of people coming forward.

2748
02:06:15,041 --> 02:06:16,639
Then, the government will crack.

2749
02:06:17,124 --> 02:06:20,082
Remember, fundamentally
people are suckers for the truth...

2750
02:06:20,582 --> 02:06:22,749
and the truth is on your side, bubba.

2751
02:06:30,041 --> 02:06:31,500
I just hope you get a break.

2752
02:07:17,500 --> 02:07:20,332
Mr. Shaw,
sir, you are under arrest,

2753
02:07:20,416 --> 02:07:23,332
charged with conspiracy and entering
an agreement with other persons

2754
02:07:23,416 --> 02:07:26,124
for the specific purpose of
committing the crime of murder

2755
02:07:26,208 --> 02:07:27,873
of President John F. Kennedy.

2756
02:07:27,957 --> 02:07:30,005
We have a warrant to search the premises.

2757
02:07:31,124 --> 02:07:33,222
It is my duty to inform you at
this time...

2758
02:07:33,832 --> 02:07:36,040
You have the right to remain silent,
you have the right to an attorney.

2759
02:07:36,124 --> 02:07:37,873
Name. First, middle, and last.

2760
02:07:37,957 --> 02:07:39,500
Clay Lavergne Shaw.

2761
02:07:41,957 --> 02:07:42,957
Address?

2762
02:07:43,041 --> 02:07:46,082
1313 Dauphine Street, New Orleans.

2763
02:07:46,208 --> 02:07:47,540
Mr. Shaw!

2764
02:07:47,624 --> 02:07:49,249
Ever use any aliases?

2765
02:07:49,582 --> 02:07:50,916
Clay Bertrand.

2766
02:07:57,582 --> 02:07:59,706
Mr. Clark,
are you aware of the charges

2767
02:07:59,790 --> 02:08:02,082
filed by District Attorney Garrison?

2768
02:08:02,208 --> 02:08:04,555
Yes, Mr. Shaw was included in our
investigation.

2769
02:08:05,166 --> 02:08:06,623
There was no connection found.

2770
02:08:06,707 --> 02:08:08,374
- At all.
<i>- Why did the FBI investigate him?</i>

2771
02:08:08,458 --> 02:08:12,040
And why, if they did,
is his name not mentioned once

2772
02:08:12,124 --> 02:08:14,790
in the entire 26 volumes
of the Warren Report,

2773
02:08:14,874 --> 02:08:16,749
even it if is to clear his name?

2774
02:08:17,999 --> 02:08:20,040
I doubt this attorney general
would qualify

2775
02:08:20,124 --> 02:08:20,957
for my staff.

2776
02:08:21,041 --> 02:08:25,915
Mr. Garrison has presented
absolutely nothing publicly

2777
02:08:25,999 --> 02:08:28,291
which would contradict our findings.

2778
02:08:29,416 --> 02:08:34,998
I know of no fact which would refute
the Commission's conclusion

2779
02:08:35,082 --> 02:08:38,332
that Lee Oswald was the lone killer.

2780
02:08:38,416 --> 02:08:40,499
What's your reaction
to the chief justice's statement?

2781
02:08:40,582 --> 02:08:42,500
Well, I congratulate Mr. Shaw.

2782
02:08:42,749 --> 02:08:45,706
Most defendants have to wait for trial
before they're allowed to produce

2783
02:08:45,790 --> 02:08:49,873
sacred cows like the chief justice of
the land as a character witness,

2784
02:08:49,957 --> 02:08:53,665
who is, of course, not under oath and
free from the laws of perjury.

2785
02:08:56,166 --> 02:08:58,998
You realize that you're
damaging the credibility of the country,

2786
02:08:59,082 --> 02:09:00,832
- possibly destroying it?
- Let me ask you...

2787
02:09:00,916 --> 02:09:04,540
Let me ask you, is a government worth
preserving when it lies to the people?

2788
02:09:04,624 --> 02:09:06,249
Huh?

2789
02:09:06,333 --> 02:09:09,706
It has become a dangerous country, sir,
when you cannot trust anyone anymore,

2790
02:09:09,790 --> 02:09:11,339
when you cannot tell the truth.

2791
02:09:13,082 --> 02:09:15,874
I say, let justice be done, though
the heavens fall!

2792
02:09:22,500 --> 02:09:26,124
<i>The JFK conspiracy,
the case of Jim Garrison.</i>

2793
02:09:26,500 --> 02:09:29,957
Honey, this is all about you!

2794
02:09:30,041 --> 02:09:34,165
<i>A team of reporters has learned that
District Attorney Jim Garrison</i>

2795
02:09:34,249 --> 02:09:39,124
<i>and his staff have intimidated,
bribed, and even drugged witnesses</i>

2796
02:09:39,208 --> 02:09:41,290
<i>in their attempt to prove a conspiracy</i>

2797
02:09:41,374 --> 02:09:46,582
<i>involving New Orleans businessman Clay
Shaw in the murder of John F. Kennedy.</i>

2798
02:09:47,416 --> 02:09:48,915
<i>John Chancler</i>

2799
02:09:48,999 --> 02:09:50,832
<i>was a cellmate of Willie O'Keefe's</i>

2800
02:09:50,916 --> 02:09:51,790
<i>at Angola...</i>

2801
02:09:51,874 --> 02:09:55,499
<i>He said he'd be cut loose,
if he copped to the DA's office.</i>

2802
02:09:55,582 --> 02:09:57,249
I sent him up for burglary.

2803
02:09:58,333 --> 02:10:00,749
And there's his old buddy Miguel Torres.

2804
02:10:01,749 --> 02:10:03,374
We sent him up, too.

2805
02:10:03,458 --> 02:10:05,749
<i>They wanted me to say Shaw was Bertrand.</i>

2806
02:10:05,999 --> 02:10:07,748
<i>They said they'd get me a pardon.</i>

2807
02:10:07,832 --> 02:10:09,374
<i>Janet Williams</i>

2808
02:10:09,458 --> 02:10:12,082
<i>comments on Willie O'Keefe's descriptions</i>

2809
02:10:12,166 --> 02:10:13,540
<i>of having met Oswald.</i>

2810
02:10:13,957 --> 02:10:15,207
<i>Was he a homosexual?</i>

2811
02:10:15,291 --> 02:10:18,207
<i>That's not the Lee I knew.
Absolutely not.</i>

2812
02:10:18,291 --> 02:10:21,790
<i>I think Mr. O'Keefe must have seen
someone he thought was Lee Oswald.</i>

2813
02:10:21,874 --> 02:10:23,040
<i>I didn't talk to nobody</i>

2814
02:10:23,124 --> 02:10:24,165
<i>after the assassination.</i>

2815
02:10:24,249 --> 02:10:26,124
<i>I was on drugs at the hospital.</i>

2816
02:10:26,249 --> 02:10:30,040
<i>Like I told the FBI, that call
was a figment of my imagination.</i>

2817
02:10:30,124 --> 02:10:32,322
<i>Personally,
I think he's quite ill, mentally.</i>

2818
02:10:32,624 --> 02:10:36,665
<i>With one half of his mind, he is able to
go out and fabricate evidence...</i>

2819
02:10:36,916 --> 02:10:39,998
<i>then by some osmosis, he is able to
convince the other half</i>

2820
02:10:40,082 --> 02:10:41,706
<i>that the fabrication is the truth.</i>

2821
02:10:41,790 --> 02:10:43,165
Well, I wouldn't worry about it, Liz.

2822
02:10:43,249 --> 02:10:46,458
There's only about 20, 30 million people
watching this tonight.

2823
02:10:48,749 --> 02:10:52,458
Guess my reputation's all right with
the people watching <i>Laugh-In.</i>

2824
02:10:52,790 --> 02:10:56,374
<i>...because in some way,
Mr. Garrison is indebted</i>

2825
02:10:56,458 --> 02:10:58,207
<i>and tied to the mob?</i>

2826
02:10:58,291 --> 02:11:00,540
<i>The more one looks at Jim Garrison,</i>

2827

<i>spread fear and suspicion,</i>

2829
02:11:06,208 --> 02:11:10,374
<i>and, worst of all, exploited this nation's

2830
02:11:10,458 --> 02:11:13,416
<i>-Jim Garrison has said, quote:</i>
-You wanna be in bed with us?

<i>- "Let justice be done,</i>

Yes.

2845
02:11:58,458 --> 02:12:00,082
<i>Virginia or Elizabeth?</i>

2846
02:12:00,374 --> 02:12:01,416
Virginia.

2847
02:12:01,500 --> 02:12:04,040
<i>Virginia, you're a lucky little girl.</i>

<i>Would you like to be in a beauty contest?</i>

2850
02:12:09,458 --> 02:12:10,665
- I don't know.
- My God!

2851
02:12:10,749 --> 02:12:13,706
My God, what have they done?

2852
02:12:13,790 --> 02:12:16,124
- Yes. Uh-huh.
- It's lynchin' time.

2853
02:12:16,624 --> 02:12:18,374
It's lynchin' time.

2854
02:12:18,832 --> 02:12:20,374
That sounds fun.

2855
02:12:21,041 --> 02:12:22,416
<i>And you get off from school</i>

2856
02:12:22,500 --> 02:12:24,374
- Honey, who are you talking to?
<i>- ...at 3:00 everyday?</i>

2857
02:12:24,458 --> 02:12:26,790
<i>Okay, Virginia,
that's all I need to know.</i>

2858
02:12:26,874 --> 02:12:29,665
Mommy, I'm gonna be in a beauty contest!

2859
02:12:30,041 --> 02:12:31,957
Who is this? Who is this?!

2860
02:12:32,957 --> 02:12:34,416
Hello?

2861
02:12:34,500 --> 02:12:37,540
Jim, did you enter Virginia
in a beauty contest?

2862
02:12:37,624 --> 02:12:40,416
A man just called, he wanted to know
everything, her height, her weight...

2863
02:12:40,500 --> 02:12:41,706
It's some crackpot.

2864
02:12:41,790 --> 02:12:43,957
Martin Luther King was killed
in Memphis, today.

2865
02:12:44,041 --> 02:12:45,706
Honey, your daughter's life's just
been threatened!

2866
02:12:45,790 --> 02:12:49,082
Just a crank making calls,
happens a dozen times a day at the office.

2867
02:12:49,166 --> 02:12:51,748
Our home, Jim! A kidnapper,
a murderer, who knows!

2868
02:12:51,832 --> 02:12:53,457
Jesus Christ, Liz,
only cowards make crank calls!

2869
02:12:53,540 --> 02:12:55,374
- How do you know?
- All right? Nothing's gonna happen.

2870
02:12:55,458 --> 02:12:57,790
How do you even know what goes on
in this house anymore!

2871
02:12:57,874 --> 02:12:59,998
You're too busy making speeches!

2872
02:13:00,082 --> 02:13:00,832
Liz...

2873
02:13:00,916 --> 02:13:03,165
Getting every crazed Klansman
in Louisiana after us!

2874
02:13:03,249 --> 02:13:04,957
- Get a hold of yourself.
- I'm leaving! I'm taking the kids,

2875
02:13:05,041 --> 02:13:06,332
- Come on, come on!
- And I'm leaving!

2876
02:13:06,416 --> 02:13:08,499
I can't stand it anymore!

2877
02:13:08,582 --> 02:13:10,499
- The government wants you to be scared.
- You and your government.

2878
02:13:10,582 --> 02:13:13,207
The government wants everybody
to be scared to speak out.

2879
02:13:13,291 --> 02:13:14,748
- What's the matter with you?
- They count on it.

2880
02:13:14,832 --> 02:13:18,029
- Don't you have any feelings?
- There's nothing to be scared of.

2881
02:13:19,540 --> 02:13:20,999
Your own daughter!

2882
02:13:21,749 --> 02:13:23,500
What kind of man are you?

2883
02:13:27,374 --> 02:13:30,332
I'll take them up to my mother's if it
makes you feel any better, all right?

2884
02:13:30,416 --> 02:13:31,165
You spend a week.

2885
02:13:31,249 --> 02:13:33,207
- What's a week gonna do?
- I'll change the locks, the phone lines,

2886
02:13:33,291 --> 02:13:36,333
I'll even get a bodyguard.
Just get a hold of yourself.

2887
02:13:36,500 --> 02:13:37,915
Honey, before this Kennedy thing,

2888
02:13:37,999 --> 02:13:40,581
nothing mattered in this world more
than your children.

2889
02:13:40,665 --> 02:13:43,665
The other night Jasper tried to talk to
you, you didn't even notice he was there.

2890
02:13:43,749 --> 02:13:45,748
He came to me bawling
his little eyes out.

2891
02:13:45,832 --> 02:13:47,082
- I promise, all right?
- He's sensitive, honey.

2892
02:13:47,166 --> 02:13:49,249
- I promise I'll make more time for Jasper.
- He needs more from you.

2893
02:13:49,333 --> 02:13:51,040
Is it such a chore?

2894
02:13:51,124 --> 02:13:53,416
-Goddammit, if I said I'll spend more time
-I don't understand you!

2895
02:13:53,500 --> 02:13:55,290
With him, I'll spend more time
with him, all right?

2896
02:13:55,374 --> 02:13:57,998
I cannot fight you and the whole
world too, Liz!

2897
02:13:58,082 --> 02:14:00,957
I'm not fighting you,
I'm trying to reach you!

2898
02:14:01,124 --> 02:14:03,832
- You've changed.
- Of course, I've changed!

2899
02:14:04,790 --> 02:14:06,124
My eyes have opened.

2900
02:14:06,832 --> 02:14:09,581
And once they're open, believe me,
what used to look normal seems insane.

2901
02:14:09,665 --> 02:14:12,999
And now King. Don't you think this
has something to do with that?

2902
02:14:13,540 --> 02:14:14,748
Can't you see?

2903
02:14:14,832 --> 02:14:16,290
I don't wanna see, goddammit!

2904
02:14:16,374 --> 02:14:18,749
I'm tired. I've had enough!

2905
02:14:19,333 --> 02:14:20,957
You're ruining this man Shaw's life,

2906
02:14:21,041 --> 02:14:23,332
you're attacking him because
he's a homosexual!

2907
02:14:23,416 --> 02:14:25,249
That's not why I'm attacking him!

2908
02:14:25,333 --> 02:14:28,707
Did you ever for once stop to consider
what he was feeling?

2909
02:14:30,916 --> 02:14:32,748
You don't believe me? Hmm?

2910
02:14:32,832 --> 02:14:36,279
- Oh, I don't know anymore!
- All this time and you never believed me!

2911
02:14:36,665 --> 02:14:40,665
I just want to raise our children
and live a normal life!

2912
02:14:40,749 --> 02:14:42,540
I want my life back!

2913
02:14:43,500 --> 02:14:45,124
Well so do I, goddammit!

2914
02:14:45,874 --> 02:14:47,665
I had a life, too, you know.

2915
02:14:48,124 --> 02:14:51,920
But you just can't bury your head in
the sand like some goddamn ostrich, Liz!

2916
02:14:52,374 --> 02:14:55,207
It's not about our well-being, all right?
It's not about our two cars,

2917
02:14:55,291 --> 02:14:57,124
and our TVs and your kitchen!

2918
02:14:58,749 --> 02:15:02,165
It's about our kids growing up in a
shithole of lies, and I'm angry about it!

2919
02:15:02,249 --> 02:15:04,291
And my life is fucked because of it.

2920
02:15:04,458 --> 02:15:07,665
And if you can see it that way, Liz,
you'll see that your life is fucked, too.

2921
02:15:07,749 --> 02:15:10,165
You never talked to me this way before,
Jim Garrison.

2922
02:15:10,249 --> 02:15:12,082
If you don't want to support me, fine,
I can understand that.

2923
02:15:12,166 --> 02:15:14,416
But don't start making threats
about taking the children.

2924
02:15:14,500 --> 02:15:16,290
I'm not making any threats,
I'm leaving you!

2925
02:15:16,374 --> 02:15:18,957
- I'm taking the kids and I'm leaving!
- Go on, then, fine. Get out!

2926
02:15:19,041 --> 02:15:21,332
- I am!
- Go hide somewhere, join the rest of them.

2927
02:15:21,416 --> 02:15:22,915
- I am!
- They'll tell you I'm crazy.

2928
02:15:22,999 --> 02:15:25,540
You'll get plenty of people to tell you
I'm crazy!

2929
02:15:27,416 --> 02:15:30,662
You won't have any problems filling out
your divorce papers on me!

2930
02:15:31,790 --> 02:15:33,707
But somebody's got to try, goddammit.

2931
02:15:34,540 --> 02:15:35,790
Somebody.

2932
02:15:40,166 --> 02:15:42,249
Are we going away, Daddy?

2933
02:15:49,624 --> 02:15:50,832
I don't know, Jasper.

2934
02:15:52,166 --> 02:15:53,957
Because of Kennedy?

2935
02:15:54,249 --> 02:15:56,749
Are the same people gonna kill us, Papa?

2936
02:15:57,374 --> 02:15:58,208
No, Jasper.

2937
02:15:59,582 --> 02:16:01,749
Nobody's gonna kill us.

2938
02:16:02,374 --> 02:16:03,707
I'm scared.

2939
02:16:04,540 --> 02:16:07,874
I don't like it when you and Mommy fight.

2940
02:16:10,291 --> 02:16:12,189
I know, I don't like it either, honey.

2941
02:16:13,416 --> 02:16:15,749
Why do we have to leave?

2942
02:16:16,166 --> 02:16:18,416
Don't you love us anymore?

2943
02:16:19,249 --> 02:16:22,957
Daddy... Daddy loves both of you,
okay?

2944
02:16:24,707 --> 02:16:27,804
And there's nothing wrong with
feeling a little scared, Jasper.

2945
02:16:28,291 --> 02:16:31,374
Telling the truth can be a scary
thing sometimes.

2946
02:16:32,208 --> 02:16:35,208
It scared President Kennedy,
and he was a brave man.

2947
02:16:36,458 --> 02:16:38,916
But if you let yourself be too scared...

2948
02:16:39,291 --> 02:16:42,165
then you let the bad guys take over
the country, don't you?

2949
02:16:42,249 --> 02:16:43,998
Yeah.

2950
02:16:44,082 --> 02:16:45,916
Then everybody gets scared.

2951
02:16:46,624 --> 02:16:48,706
Stay with Mom, Papa.

2952
02:16:48,790 --> 02:16:50,124
Please?

2953
02:16:57,249 --> 02:16:59,040
Damn. Here's another one.

2954
02:16:59,124 --> 02:17:02,332
The US Attorney in Washington declines
to serve our subpoena

2955
02:17:02,416 --> 02:17:05,416
on Allen Dulles, Charles Cabell,
CIA Director Richard Helms...

2956
02:17:05,500 --> 02:17:06,874
Any FBI agent we named.

2957
02:17:07,082 --> 02:17:09,430
Well, what do you expect from a pig
but a grunt.

2958
02:17:09,916 --> 02:17:12,457
Without them, it's going to be
near impossible, chief,

2959
02:17:12,540 --> 02:17:14,332
to prove Shaw's connection to the CIA.

2960
02:17:14,416 --> 02:17:15,957
What the hell is going on?

2961
02:17:16,041 --> 02:17:19,374
Never before has an extradition request
from this office been refused.

2962
02:17:19,458 --> 02:17:21,665
We haven't tried to get
Julia Ann Mercer in here.

2963
02:17:21,749 --> 02:17:23,165
No, she could get hurt.

2964
02:17:23,249 --> 02:17:24,124
What?

2965
02:17:24,208 --> 02:17:26,249
If you believe what's happened
to these other people, no.

2966
02:17:26,333 --> 02:17:28,249
Yeah, but she's the best damn witness
we have!

2967
02:17:28,333 --> 02:17:31,624
I just don't want to do it, that's all.
Now, what else?

2968
02:17:32,665 --> 02:17:34,364
Well, you got your hate mail here.

2969
02:17:34,582 --> 02:17:36,707
And your fan mail here.

2970
02:17:37,333 --> 02:17:41,665
The bad news is that the IRS requested an
audit of your income from this office.

2971
02:17:42,957 --> 02:17:44,905
Well, I expected that two months ago...

2972
02:17:45,291 --> 02:17:46,839
and they're wasting their time.

2973
02:17:49,540 --> 02:17:53,208
The bad news is the National Guard
just asked me to resign after 18 years.

2974
02:17:55,041 --> 02:17:56,706
Well, maybe that's the good news.

2975
02:17:56,790 --> 02:17:58,707
Never was as good as combat, anyway.

2976
02:17:59,832 --> 02:18:00,999
But this is.

2977
02:18:02,500 --> 02:18:04,198
Bill, any more on Oswald and Shaw?

2978
02:18:04,374 --> 02:18:05,998
Uh, yeah, yeah.

2979
02:18:06,082 --> 02:18:08,957
They were seen together in Clinton in
early September.

2980
02:18:09,500 --> 02:18:13,249
<i>The Civil Rights Movement was
running a voters ' registration drive.</i>

2981
02:18:13,749 --> 02:18:17,290
<i>Rumor is Shaw, a local boy,
was working on some arms deal</i>

2982
02:18:17,374 --> 02:18:19,500
<i>to discredit the civil rights movement.</i>

2983
02:18:20,082 --> 02:18:22,915
<i>Nobody really knows
what they were doing there, but</i>

2984
02:18:22,999 --> 02:18:25,166
<i>hell, they stood out like cotton balls.</i>

2985
02:18:25,416 --> 02:18:27,749
<i>I got whites and coloreds saw 'em, but...</i>

2986
02:18:28,166 --> 02:18:31,790
last time I checked, there was nothing
illegal with registering to vote.

2987
02:18:32,500 --> 02:18:36,416
We still got the negro junkie,
Vernon Bundy,

2988
02:18:36,500 --> 02:18:39,397
who saw 'em talkin' at the seawall
near Lake Pontchartrain.

2989
02:18:39,582 --> 02:18:42,748
But, hell, it's tough, boss,
nobody wants to talk about Shaw. He's...

2990
02:18:42,832 --> 02:18:44,457
You keep saying...
see, you keep saying that!

2991
02:18:44,540 --> 02:18:46,040
- You're not digging!
- I keep saying what?

2992
02:18:46,124 --> 02:18:47,332
- You're not digging deep enough.
- I'm not digging?

2993
02:18:47,416 --> 02:18:50,332
You do my job, I'll do your job!

2994
02:18:50,416 --> 02:18:53,540
I think Clinton is a breakthrough,
now, all right?

2995
02:18:54,249 --> 02:18:56,873
Now, Shaw denies ever knowing
Ferrie or Oswald, right?

2996
02:18:56,957 --> 02:18:57,790
Right.

2997
02:18:57,874 --> 02:18:59,622
All right, that proves he's a liar.

2998
02:19:01,624 --> 02:19:02,748
Keep on it, Bill.

2999
02:19:02,832 --> 02:19:04,165
This is interesting.

3000
02:19:04,249 --> 02:19:07,957
Oswald went to see the FBI two weeks
before the assassination.

3001
02:19:08,041 --> 02:19:10,207
Can I see Special Agent Hosty, please?

3002
02:19:10,291 --> 02:19:12,124
I'm sorry, he's not in.
Can someone else help you?

3003
02:19:12,208 --> 02:19:16,581
<i>It seems Special Agent Hosty made
three visits to Janet Williams ' house,</i>

3004
02:19:16,665 --> 02:19:18,290
<i>supposedly to keep an eye on Marina.</i>

3005
02:19:18,374 --> 02:19:19,290
<i>He left a note.</i>

3006
02:19:19,374 --> 02:19:22,706
<i>Hosty told a Dallas newspaperman that
it was a warning to him</i>

3007
02:19:22,790 --> 02:19:26,290
<i>to stop questioning Marina at home
when Oswald was not present.</i>

3008
02:19:26,374 --> 02:19:31,124
<i>She was not a citizen, so possibly he was
threatening to deport her back to Russia.</i>

3009
02:19:31,540 --> 02:19:33,790
But what the note really said
no one knows.

3010
02:19:34,333 --> 02:19:35,998
- <i>Hosty tore it up,</i>
-Get rid of it!

3011
02:19:36,082 --> 02:19:37,748
<i>- And flushed it down the toilet.</i>
- Get rid of it, Hosty.

3012
02:19:37,832 --> 02:19:39,249
This is just speculation, people, but

3013
02:19:39,333 --> 02:19:43,291
what if the note was describing the
assassination attempt on JFK?

3014
02:19:49,208 --> 02:19:50,707
Come on, people, think!

3015
02:19:51,124 --> 02:19:53,249
That's the only reason to destroy it.

3016
02:19:53,916 --> 02:19:57,812
Because if it was any kind of threat,
like Hosty said, they would've kept it...

3017
02:19:58,291 --> 02:20:02,037
'cause it makes their case against
the "angry, lone nut" that much stronger.

3018
02:20:02,874 --> 02:20:04,748
Remember the New Orleans meeting
with Agent Quigley

3019
02:20:04,832 --> 02:20:06,041
<i>the day he got arrested?</i>

3020
02:20:06,458 --> 02:20:09,290
<i>There, again, Quigley destroyed the notes
from the interview.</i>

3021
02:20:09,374 --> 02:20:13,170
I think we can raise the possibility that
Oswald not only was an informant...

3022
02:20:14,166 --> 02:20:17,665
but that he may well have been the
original source we have for the telex

3023
02:20:17,749 --> 02:20:19,291
dated November 17th...

3024
02:20:19,582 --> 02:20:23,749
warning of Kennedy's assassination
in Dallas on November 22nd.

3025
02:20:25,957 --> 02:20:29,290
William Walter, the night clerk on duty
in the FBI office here,

3026
02:20:29,374 --> 02:20:30,623
<i>he gave me a copy of this,</i>

3027
02:20:30,707 --> 02:20:33,249
<i>said it went all over the country,
nothing was done,</i>

3028
02:20:33,333 --> 02:20:35,040
<i>and the motorcade went ahead on schedule.</i>

3029
02:20:35,124 --> 02:20:36,873
<i>And this wasn't even mentioned in
the Warren Report.</i>

3030
02:20:36,957 --> 02:20:39,165
<i>Determined that a militant
revolutionary group</i>

3031
02:20:39,249 --> 02:20:41,499
<i>may attempt to assassinate
President Kennedy</i>

3032
02:20:41,582 --> 02:20:43,748
on his proposed trip to Dallas, Texas.

3033
02:20:43,832 --> 02:20:46,458
Shortly after the assassination,
Walter says...

3034
02:20:46,957 --> 02:20:49,873
that the telex was removed from all
the files in all the cities,

3035
02:20:49,957 --> 02:20:52,249
as an obvious embarrassment
to the Bureau.

3036
02:20:53,916 --> 02:20:56,613
I believe Oswald was sending
information through Hosty.

3037
02:20:56,874 --> 02:20:58,623
<i>I have a hunch that, from the get go,</i>

3038
02:20:58,707 --> 02:21:03,249
<i>Oswald had infiltrated this group,
probably Cubans, right-wing extremists.</i>

3039
02:21:03,333 --> 02:21:05,748
<i>He was told to be at the book depository</i>

3040
02:21:05,832 --> 02:21:09,040
that day by his handlers, to either
prevent the assassination

3041
02:21:09,124 --> 02:21:10,374
or to take part in it.

3042
02:21:10,916 --> 02:21:12,124
<i>I mean, they coulda told him anything,</i>

3043
02:21:12,208 --> 02:21:14,082
<i>either they were gonna close down
the plotters</i>

3044
02:21:14,166 --> 02:21:15,416
<i>that day,</i>

3045
02:21:15,500 --> 02:21:19,374
or they were gonna simulate an attack on
Kennedy to whip up public opinion

3046
02:21:19,458 --> 02:21:22,604
so that Kennedy would have to reverse
his policies on communism.

3047
02:21:23,624 --> 02:21:25,790
<i>It doesn't really matter what
they told him.</i>

3048
02:21:25,874 --> 02:21:27,706
<i>He was under orders.</i>

3049
02:21:27,790 --> 02:21:29,208
<i>He was a foot soldier.</i>

3050
02:21:29,500 --> 02:21:30,749
And, uh...

3051
02:21:32,333 --> 02:21:33,582
You can't miss.

3052
02:21:33,749 --> 02:21:35,416
He is a dead duck.

3053
02:21:36,249 --> 02:21:37,416
<i>I don't buy it, chief.</i>

3054
02:21:37,874 --> 02:21:40,041
Why would the FBI cover it up?

3055
02:21:40,333 --> 02:21:44,166
A telex that disappears from every single
FBI office in this country?

3056
02:21:44,540 --> 02:21:45,790
There's a word, Bill.

3057
02:21:46,208 --> 02:21:46,957
Orders.

3058
02:21:47,041 --> 02:21:48,165
Or a cover up!

3059
02:21:48,249 --> 02:21:52,374
Jesus, Bill, don't you have enough proof
of the FBI's complicity yet?

3060
02:21:52,458 --> 02:21:54,873
Maybe I have a little more respect for
this country's institutions...

3061
02:21:54,957 --> 02:21:56,082
- My God!
- Than you do, Susie!

3062
02:21:56,166 --> 02:21:57,457
How much more do you need?

3063
02:21:57,540 --> 02:22:00,332
You tell me how the hell you gonna keep
a conspiracy going on between

3064
02:22:00,416 --> 02:22:03,665
the mob, the CIA, the FBI,
and Army Intelligence,

3065
02:22:03,749 --> 02:22:05,457
and who the hell knows what else,

3066
02:22:05,540 --> 02:22:07,790
when you know for a fact you can't
keep a secret in this room

3067
02:22:07,874 --> 02:22:09,082
between 12 people.

3068
02:22:09,624 --> 02:22:11,291
We got leaks everywhere!

3069
02:22:11,458 --> 02:22:14,499
I mean, we are going to trial here,
y'all!

3070
02:22:14,582 --> 02:22:16,790
What the hell do we really got?

3071
02:22:16,874 --> 02:22:20,249
Oswald, Ruby, Banister, Ferrie are dead!

3072
02:22:20,582 --> 02:22:23,374
Shaw, I mean maybe he's an agent,
I don't know,

3073
02:22:23,458 --> 02:22:26,957
but as a covert operator in my book
he is wide open for blackmail

3074
02:22:27,041 --> 02:22:28,540
'cause of his homosexuality.

3075
02:22:28,624 --> 02:22:31,832
Shaw's our toehold, Bill. Now, I don't
know exactly what he is or where he fits,

3076
02:22:31,916 --> 02:22:33,124
and I don't really care.

3077
02:22:33,333 --> 02:22:36,207
I do know he's lying through his
teeth and I'm not gonna let go of him.

3078
02:22:36,291 --> 02:22:39,290
Yeah, and for those reasons, you're going
to trial against Clay Shaw, chief?

3079
02:22:39,374 --> 02:22:40,957
Well, you're gonna lose!

3080
02:22:41,166 --> 02:22:44,207
We should be investigating our mafia
leads here in New Orleans.

3081
02:22:44,291 --> 02:22:47,687
Now, I can buy that a hell of a lot easier
than I can the government.

3082
02:22:48,582 --> 02:22:52,333
Ruby is all mob, knows Oswald,
sets him up.

3083
02:22:52,790 --> 02:22:56,832
Hoffa, Trafficante, Marcello, they hire
some guns to do Kennedy...

3084
02:22:57,124 --> 02:23:01,082
and the government doesn't want to open up
a whole can of worms there because

3085
02:23:01,166 --> 02:23:03,707
it used the mob to try to get to Castro.

3086
02:23:04,374 --> 02:23:07,873
You know, Castro being assassinated
by the mob, by us,

3087
02:23:07,957 --> 02:23:09,957
it sounds pretty wild to
John Q. Citizen.

3088
02:23:10,124 --> 02:23:13,124
So they close the book on JFK.

3089
02:23:14,208 --> 02:23:15,665
Makes perfect sense to me.

3090
02:23:15,749 --> 02:23:18,596
I don't doubt their involvement, Bill,
but at a low level.

3091
02:23:18,832 --> 02:23:20,082
- Oh, come on!
- Could the mob

3092
02:23:20,166 --> 02:23:21,749
change the parade route, Bill?

3093
02:23:22,291 --> 02:23:24,832
Or eliminate the protection for
the president?

3094
02:23:25,374 --> 02:23:28,333
Could the mob send Oswald to Russia
and get him back?

3095
02:23:28,916 --> 02:23:31,623
Could the mob get the FBI, the CIA,
and the Dallas police

3096
02:23:31,707 --> 02:23:33,165
to make a mess of the investigation?

3097
02:23:33,249 --> 02:23:36,845
I mean, could the mob get the Warren
Commission appointed to cover it up?

3098
02:23:37,500 --> 02:23:38,957
Could the mob wreck the autopsy?

3099
02:23:39,041 --> 02:23:41,998
I mean, could the mob influence
the national media to go to sleep?

3100
02:23:42,082 --> 02:23:45,790
And since when has the mob used
anything but .38s for hits up close?

3101
02:23:47,374 --> 02:23:51,120
The mob wouldn't have the guts or the
power for something of this magnitude.

3102
02:23:51,832 --> 02:23:53,665
Assassins need payrolls...

3103
02:23:54,374 --> 02:23:56,291
schedules, times, orders.

3104
02:23:57,416 --> 02:24:00,040
This was a military-style ambush
from start to finish.

3105
02:24:00,124 --> 02:24:03,499
This was a coup d'état with Lyndon
Johnson waiting in the wings.

3106
02:24:03,582 --> 02:24:06,416
Oh, okay, so now you're saying Lyndon
Johnson was involved?

3107
02:24:06,500 --> 02:24:08,332
- Huh? The President of the United States?
- I know this, Bill.

3108
02:24:08,416 --> 02:24:11,790
Lyndon Johnson got one billion dollars
for his Texas friends, Brown and Root,

3109
02:24:11,874 --> 02:24:14,499
to dredge Cam Ranh Bay for the military
in Vietnam.

3110
02:24:14,582 --> 02:24:15,540
- That's just for openers.
- Boss!

3111
02:24:15,624 --> 02:24:17,748
Are you calling the president a murderer?

3112
02:24:17,832 --> 02:24:21,029
If I'm so far from the truth, why is the
FBI bugging our offices?

3113
02:24:21,124 --> 02:24:24,041
Huh? Why are our witnesses
being bought off and murdered?

3114
02:24:24,540 --> 02:24:28,207
Why are federal agencies blocking our
extraditions and subpoenas,

3115
02:24:28,291 --> 02:24:29,873
- when we were never blocked before?
- I don't know!

3116
02:24:29,957 --> 02:24:33,207
I don't... maybe there's some rogue
element in the government or something.

3117
02:24:33,291 --> 02:24:34,790
- Oh, come on!
- With a full-blown conspiracy

3118
02:24:34,874 --> 02:24:35,749
to cover it up?

3119
02:24:36,874 --> 02:24:38,916
You ever read your Shakespeare, Bill?

3120
02:24:40,291 --> 02:24:42,249
Yeah, I do.

3121
02:24:43,416 --> 02:24:44,624
Julius Caesar.

3122
02:24:45,665 --> 02:24:48,707
"Brutus and Cassius, they, too,
are honorable men."

3123
02:24:49,749 --> 02:24:51,082
Who killed Caesar?

3124
02:24:52,166 --> 02:24:53,957
Ten, 12 senators.

3125
02:24:54,374 --> 02:24:56,999
All's it takes is one Judas, Bill.

3126
02:24:57,124 --> 02:24:59,040
A few people on the inside.

3127
02:24:59,124 --> 02:25:00,457
Pentagon, CIA...

3128
02:25:00,540 --> 02:25:02,333
This is Louisiana, chief.

3129
02:25:02,749 --> 02:25:05,458
I mean, how the hell do you know
who your daddy is?

3130
02:25:05,707 --> 02:25:08,207
'Cause your mama told you so.

3131
02:25:08,291 --> 02:25:10,957
You are way out there taking a crap
in the wind, boss,

3132
02:25:11,041 --> 02:25:14,582
and I, for one, am not going along
on this one!

3133
02:25:23,874 --> 02:25:26,291
Chief, I've had my doubts all along
about Bill.

3134
02:25:27,333 --> 02:25:28,957
Been fighting us all along.

3135
02:25:30,582 --> 02:25:32,165
Well, we need him back.

3136
02:25:32,249 --> 02:25:35,416
Boss, Broussard wasted a whole damn month
trying to prove that mob boys,

3137
02:25:35,500 --> 02:25:38,540
like Jack Ruby and Brading,
are hooked up with Hunt Oil.

3138
02:25:38,624 --> 02:25:39,581
I don't trust the guy.

3139
02:25:39,665 --> 02:25:43,582
I will not hear this, gentlemen. Now,
I value Bill as much as any person here.

3140
02:25:45,166 --> 02:25:49,458
I think it's time we all made room for
someone else's ideas, including me.

3141
02:25:50,458 --> 02:25:53,205
Maybe Oswald is what everyone says
he is and I'm just...

3142
02:25:53,874 --> 02:25:55,458
I'm just plain dumb about it.

3143
02:25:56,082 --> 02:25:58,832
I've seen him copying files,
leaving here late at night.

3144
02:25:58,916 --> 02:25:59,998
I just plain don't trust...

3145
02:26:00,082 --> 02:26:01,332
Maybe you two didn't hear what I said.

3146
02:26:01,416 --> 02:26:04,249
Now, I said I will not tolerate infighting
among the staff!

3147
02:26:04,333 --> 02:26:07,416
I'm afraid I cannot work with
Bill Broussard anymore.

3148
02:26:08,790 --> 02:26:10,588
Are you giving me an ultimatum, Lou?

3149
02:26:10,832 --> 02:26:11,790
What?

3150
02:26:12,166 --> 02:26:13,873
Are you giving me an ultimatum?

3151
02:26:13,957 --> 02:26:16,005
Well, if that's what you want to call it.

3152
02:26:18,416 --> 02:26:20,763
You know, I never thought
it would come to this.

3153
02:26:24,208 --> 02:26:25,249
I guess I am.

3154
02:26:26,790 --> 02:26:29,687
Well, I will not have any damned
ultimatums put to me, Lou.

3155
02:26:29,999 --> 02:26:31,624
I'll accept your resignation.

3156
02:26:35,416 --> 02:26:36,707
Well, you sure got it.

3157
02:26:42,333 --> 02:26:45,041
You are one stubborn son of a bitch.

3158
02:26:47,416 --> 02:26:49,314
And you're making a hell of a mistake.

3159
02:26:56,665 --> 02:26:59,208
Boss, aren't you being a little hard?

3160
02:27:00,624 --> 02:27:02,500
No, I don't think I am, Susie.

3161
02:27:03,916 --> 02:27:05,208
Anyone else?

3162
02:27:10,458 --> 02:27:13,500
<i>And now, Jerry, here's Jim Garrison,</i>

3163
02:27:13,665 --> 02:27:16,500
<i>the District Attorney of New Orleans,
Louisiana.</i>

3164
02:27:31,333 --> 02:27:33,416
<i>Welcome, District Attorney Garrison.</i>

3165
02:27:33,707 --> 02:27:37,165
So, you're investigating the murder of
President Kennedy.

3166
02:27:37,249 --> 02:27:40,499
You know, I must say, we have heard
some strange things

3167
02:27:40,582 --> 02:27:42,540
coming out of your office in New Orleans.

3168
02:27:42,624 --> 02:27:46,290
First we heard that the Cuban
exiles killed the president.

3169
02:27:46,374 --> 02:27:47,665
Then, the mob.

3170
02:27:47,999 --> 02:27:51,581
<i>Now your latest theory
seems to be that the CIA,</i>

3171
02:27:51,665 --> 02:27:54,249
<i>and the FBI, and the Pentagon,</i>

3172
02:27:54,333 --> 02:27:55,623
and the White House,

3173
02:27:55,707 --> 02:27:59,749
all combined in some elaborate conspiracy
to kill John Kennedy.

3174
02:27:59,874 --> 02:28:01,124
Let me ask you,

3175
02:28:01,208 --> 02:28:03,623
is there anyone besides Lee Harvey Oswald

3176
02:28:03,707 --> 02:28:06,291
who you think didn't conspire to kill
the president?

3177
02:28:09,500 --> 02:28:11,333
Let's just say this, Jerry.

3178
02:28:12,249 --> 02:28:13,832
I've stopped beating my wife.

3179
02:28:16,041 --> 02:28:19,238
Maybe you should ask Lyndon Johnson.
We know he has some answers.

3180
02:28:22,624 --> 02:28:26,333
Now, there have been a number of reports
in reputable news media...

3181
02:28:26,707 --> 02:28:29,041
<i>Time, Newsweek,</i> our own NBC...

3182
02:28:29,416 --> 02:28:34,249
that you've gone way beyond the legal
means available to a prosecutor,

3183
02:28:34,333 --> 02:28:37,374
that you've intimidated... even drugged...
witnesses,

3184
02:28:37,458 --> 02:28:38,499
bribed them,

3185
02:28:38,582 --> 02:28:40,624
urged them to commit perjury.

3186
02:28:41,291 --> 02:28:42,540
Do you have a response to this?

3187
02:28:42,624 --> 02:28:45,821
Your faith in the veracity of the major
media is touching, Jerry.

3188
02:28:46,124 --> 02:28:49,082
It indicates that the Age of Innocence
is not yet over.

3189
02:28:49,166 --> 02:28:50,623
But ask yourself...

3190
02:28:50,707 --> 02:28:55,665
If we'd learned on November 22nd, 1963
that the Premier of Russia had been shot

3191
02:28:55,749 --> 02:28:58,998
from a Moscow office building
by a lonely, capitalist sympathizer,

3192
02:28:59,082 --> 02:29:03,332
who, himself, was then liquidated by a
patriotic Muscovite within 48 hours

3193
02:29:03,416 --> 02:29:05,165
while surrounded by armed police,

3194
02:29:05,249 --> 02:29:07,998
I think it would be pretty apparent to any
free-thinking person

3195
02:29:08,082 --> 02:29:12,249
that a coup d'état and a transfer of power
had just taken place in the Soviet Union.

3196
02:29:12,333 --> 02:29:14,540
And we would not be asking questions

3197
02:29:14,624 --> 02:29:16,790
or attacking Jim Garrison or his record.

3198
02:29:16,874 --> 02:29:19,040
We would, in a free-thinking society,

3199
02:29:19,124 --> 02:29:21,665
be asking hard questions about
why he was killed

3200
02:29:21,749 --> 02:29:23,499
and what forces were opposed to him.

3201
02:29:23,582 --> 02:29:27,249
Jim, you know, there are some people
who might say you're paranoid.

3202
02:29:27,500 --> 02:29:29,040
Maybe I'd better show you some pictures,

3203
02:29:29,124 --> 02:29:32,540
so you can begin to understand
what it is I'm talking about.

3204
02:29:34,249 --> 02:29:35,416
These are arrests.

3205
02:29:35,500 --> 02:29:37,999
Now, these arrests were photographed...

3206
02:29:38,582 --> 02:29:40,040
minutes after the assassination.

3207
02:29:40,124 --> 02:29:42,124
Now, they were never shown
to the American public.

3208
02:29:42,208 --> 02:29:44,332
Jim, I'm sorry, these pictures
can't show up on TV.

3209
02:29:44,416 --> 02:29:46,290
- Well, sure they can.
- No, I'm sorry, they can't.

3210
02:29:46,374 --> 02:29:47,291
No, the...

3211
02:29:47,624 --> 02:29:50,022
- The camera can pick these up.
- Jim, I'm sorry.

3212
02:29:50,582 --> 02:29:53,915
They can't. We have libel laws,
you know.

3213
02:29:53,999 --> 02:29:57,581
Those men you just saw were arrested in
Dallas minutes after the assassination.

3214
02:29:57,665 --> 02:29:59,291
They were never seen again.

3215
02:29:59,416 --> 02:30:00,832
No record of arrest...

3216
02:30:01,124 --> 02:30:03,748
- no mugshot, no fingerprint.
- Jim, hold that thought.

3217
02:30:03,832 --> 02:30:05,165
<i>-We're gonna be back,
- They got away...</i>

3218
02:30:05,249 --> 02:30:06,082
<i>Right after these commercials.</i>

3219
02:30:06,166 --> 02:30:07,291
<i>Who were they?</i>

3220
02:30:15,582 --> 02:30:16,415
Chief!

3221
02:30:18,041 --> 02:30:20,082
Bill, what the hell are you doing here?

3222
02:30:20,374 --> 02:30:21,832
I'm sorry about the other day, chief.

3223
02:30:21,916 --> 02:30:24,014
I didn't mean to walk out
on you like that.

3224
02:30:25,416 --> 02:30:27,999
Bill, you came all the way
to tell me the obvious?

3225
02:30:28,582 --> 02:30:29,916
No, boss, look.

3226
02:30:30,124 --> 02:30:32,581
I just got word there's gonna be
an attempt to kill you

3227
02:30:32,665 --> 02:30:34,613
somewhere between here and New Orleans.

3228
02:30:34,832 --> 02:30:38,291
A mob guy was brought down
by Shaw from Canada.

3229
02:30:38,458 --> 02:30:39,957
This is serious, chief.

3230
02:30:40,041 --> 02:30:42,165
You're gonna need a bodyguard
tonight in Phoenix.

3231
02:30:42,249 --> 02:30:43,332
Bill, when you were in the Army,

3232
02:30:43,416 --> 02:30:45,748
did you have a chance to find out
what an order meant?

3233
02:30:45,832 --> 02:30:46,581
- Hmm?
- Yes.

3234
02:30:46,665 --> 02:30:49,207
You happen to remember my ordering
everyone on the staff not to participate

3235
02:30:49,291 --> 02:30:52,249
in passing on these endless rumors about
how somebody is gonna be killed?

3236
02:30:52,333 --> 02:30:53,665
Yes, I do, boss, but this...

3237
02:30:53,749 --> 02:30:54,832
No, there is no "but."

3238
02:30:54,916 --> 02:30:57,540
There is no "but" in a military
situation, Broussard!

3239
02:30:58,041 --> 02:31:00,988
I don't appreciate your dumping this
paranoid garbage on me.

3240
02:31:01,249 --> 02:31:03,623
And I don't appreciate your inability
to follow a simple order,

3241
02:31:03,707 --> 02:31:06,748
especially when it means I'm personally
gonna end up paying for your flight

3242
02:31:06,832 --> 02:31:07,831
back to New Orleans.

3243
02:31:09,082 --> 02:31:10,582
Let's get you a ticket.

3244
02:31:12,208 --> 02:31:13,249
Boss, I'm sorry.

3245
02:31:13,333 --> 02:31:15,481
- I'm just looking out for you.
- Thank you.

3246
02:31:15,790 --> 02:31:16,957
Get a receipt.

3247
02:32:04,500 --> 02:32:06,165
Come on, come on.
He's out of here.

3248
02:32:06,249 --> 02:32:07,790
Jim, where are you going?

3249
02:32:08,208 --> 02:32:09,707
It's me, Samuel.

3250
02:32:17,166 --> 02:32:17,957
Hey!

3251
02:32:18,041 --> 02:32:21,488
- How long were you in that restroom?
- None of your goddamn business.

3252
02:33:11,291 --> 02:33:12,915
Jim, bad news,

3253
02:33:12,999 --> 02:33:14,082
Bill's turned.

3254
02:33:14,166 --> 02:33:16,665
I think he's given everything we've got
to the feds.

3255
02:33:16,749 --> 02:33:19,207
We studied the memos and there was
nothing there, chief.

3256
02:33:19,291 --> 02:33:20,207
Nothing.

3257
02:33:20,291 --> 02:33:23,832
We went to confront him and the landlady
said the son of a bitch just took off.

3258
02:33:23,916 --> 02:33:25,790
Left everything.

3259
02:33:25,874 --> 02:33:27,623
It's unbelievable. I'm sorry.

3260
02:33:27,707 --> 02:33:30,124
Mattie, could you get Mr. Garrison
a drink, please?

3261
02:33:30,208 --> 02:33:32,040
Something sure scared him.

3262
02:33:32,124 --> 02:33:35,581
Well, Bill doesn't scare that easy.
Somebody got to his thinking.

3263
02:33:35,665 --> 02:33:37,374
He was never that good a thinker.

3264
02:33:37,458 --> 02:33:38,957
He sure fooled us.

3265
02:33:39,874 --> 02:33:41,749
No, no, Numa, don't turn it down.

3266
02:33:41,957 --> 02:33:44,040
Turn it up, I want to see this.

3267
02:33:44,124 --> 02:33:46,290
Well, you know what's
happening, he's winning.

3268
02:33:46,374 --> 02:33:48,916
<i>Senator Eugene McCarthy of Minnesota.</i>

3269
02:33:49,291 --> 02:33:50,582
He'll never make it.

3270
02:33:51,957 --> 02:33:53,790
If he wins, they'll kill him.

3271
02:33:54,208 --> 02:33:55,665
He'll stop the war.

3272
02:33:57,333 --> 02:33:59,780
They'll kill him before they let him
be president.

3273
02:34:03,082 --> 02:34:04,499
Thank you, Mattie.

3274
02:34:04,582 --> 02:34:08,082
Boss, with Broussard,
they have everything.

3275
02:34:08,291 --> 02:34:10,706
All our witnesses,
our strategies for the trial.

3276
02:34:10,790 --> 02:34:12,581
We got to double check his work.

3277
02:34:12,665 --> 02:34:15,458
There could be false leads.
We can't go to trial.

3278
02:34:15,832 --> 02:34:17,082
We don't have a prayer!

3279
02:34:17,166 --> 02:34:18,207
I don't think so, Al.

3280
02:34:18,291 --> 02:34:20,291
I have to agree with Al, boss.

3281
02:34:20,916 --> 02:34:23,291
This is not one we're gonna come out on.

3282
02:34:23,500 --> 02:34:26,347
You remember the Hemingway story,
<i>The Old Man and the Sea?</i>

3283
02:34:27,665 --> 02:34:30,707
The old fisherman manages
to catch this great fish...

3284
02:34:31,208 --> 02:34:33,790
a fish so huge that he has to tie it
to the side of the boat

3285
02:34:33,874 --> 02:34:35,333
in order to get it back in.

3286
02:34:35,582 --> 02:34:37,431
But by the time it reached the shore,

3287
02:34:37,582 --> 02:34:40,458
the fish had long since been picked
apart by sharks.

3288
02:34:44,333 --> 02:34:46,165
Nothing was left but the skeleton.

3289
02:34:46,249 --> 02:34:47,998
And that's what's gonna happen to us.

3290
02:34:48,082 --> 02:34:50,249
Then what'd we go to all this
trouble for, boss?

3291
02:34:50,333 --> 02:34:51,665
It's a means to an end.

3292
02:34:52,416 --> 02:34:54,291
Now, this war has two fronts.

3293
02:34:55,707 --> 02:34:57,665
In a court of law, we hope,
against the odds,

3294
02:34:57,749 --> 02:35:00,082
to nail Clay Shaw on a conspiracy charge.

3295
02:35:00,166 --> 02:35:04,207
In the court of public opinion, it could
take another 25, 30 years

3296
02:35:04,291 --> 02:35:06,041
for the truth to come out.

3297
02:35:08,333 --> 02:35:10,630
But at least we're gonna strike
the first blow.

3298
02:35:12,665 --> 02:35:14,291
What if you're wrong?

3299
02:35:18,500 --> 02:35:20,707
I never thought for a second
I was, honey.

3300
02:35:20,874 --> 02:35:22,582
Liz.

3301
02:35:24,707 --> 02:35:26,374
Will you come to the trial?

3302
02:35:28,166 --> 02:35:29,665
I don't think so.

3303
02:35:38,333 --> 02:35:40,040
<i>CBS News has projected</i>

3304
02:35:40,124 --> 02:35:43,499
<i>Senator Robert Kennedy the winner of
the crucial California primary.</i>

3305
02:35:43,582 --> 02:35:45,748
<i>And that is what has been
going on within the United States</i>

3306
02:35:45,832 --> 02:35:47,780
<i>over the period of the last three years</i>

3307
02:35:47,999 --> 02:35:49,790
<i>the division, the violence...</i>

3308
02:35:50,416 --> 02:35:52,832
<i>the disenchantment with our society,</i>

3309
02:35:52,916 --> 02:35:54,957
<i>the divisions, whether it's between
blacks and whites,</i>

3310
02:35:55,041 --> 02:35:56,989
<i>between the poor and the more affluent,</i>

3311
02:35:57,082 --> 02:35:59,665
<i>or between age groups or on
the war in Vietnam,</i>

3312
02:35:59,749 --> 02:36:02,332
<i>that we can start to work together.
We are a great country,</i>

3313
02:36:02,416 --> 02:36:05,165
<i>an unselfish country,
and a compassionate country.</i>

3314
02:36:05,249 --> 02:36:08,208

my basis for running...</i>

3315
02:36:28,249 --> 02:36:29,957
<i>Senator Kennedy has been shot!</i>

3316
02:36:30,249 --> 02:36:34,095
<i>We don't know how serious it is, but we do
know Senator Kennedy has been shot!</i>

3317
02:36:36,416 --> 02:36:38,832
<i>Get the gun! Get the gun!</i>

3318
02:36:40,333 --> 02:36:41,874
<i>Stay away from the gun!</i>

3319
02:37:13,582 --> 02:37:15,165
They killed him, honey.

3320
02:37:15,249 --> 02:37:16,707
Hmm?

3321
02:37:17,665 --> 02:37:21,166
He won, and they killed Robert Kennedy.

3322
02:37:22,249 --> 02:37:24,540
- No.
- They shot him down.

3323
02:37:25,540 --> 02:37:28,540
Oh, my God.

3324
02:37:31,500 --> 02:37:33,500
Both of them?

3325
02:37:33,749 --> 02:37:35,999
Both brothers?

3326
02:37:40,540 --> 02:37:42,208
You were right.

3327
02:37:44,082 --> 02:37:45,540
It hasn't ended.

3328
02:37:53,540 --> 02:37:55,124
For the first time...

3329
02:37:57,166 --> 02:37:59,082
I feel really scared.

3330
02:38:11,707 --> 02:38:14,665
I wish I could've loved you more.

3331
02:38:16,874 --> 02:38:21,707
Sometimes I feel like I didn't ever
love you...

3332
02:38:22,500 --> 02:38:24,665
or the children enough.

3333
02:38:26,749 --> 02:38:29,249
I'm sorry.

3334
02:39:11,500 --> 02:39:12,999
Please rise.

3335
02:39:13,124 --> 02:39:15,040
Oyez, oyez, oyez!

3336
02:39:15,124 --> 02:39:18,499
The Criminal District Court for
Orleans Parish, Section H,

3337
02:39:18,582 --> 02:39:19,916
is now in session.

3338
02:39:20,458 --> 02:39:23,374
Honorable Judge Edward A. Haggerty,
Junior presiding.

3339
02:39:23,707 --> 02:39:24,874
Please be seated.

3340
02:39:29,916 --> 02:39:31,332
That's Clay Bertrand.

3341
02:39:31,416 --> 02:39:33,416
That's the man I saw at David Ferrie's.

3342
02:39:33,500 --> 02:39:35,500
That's who you say you saw...

3343
02:39:36,500 --> 02:39:38,500
<i>a confessed homosexual...</i>

3344
02:39:39,208 --> 02:39:42,082
convicted of pandering and solicitation...

3345
02:39:42,540 --> 02:39:45,041
a man who has lied about everything...

3346
02:39:45,416 --> 02:39:47,665
and now wants to be taken at his word.

3347
02:39:47,749 --> 02:39:50,832
It was that man right there.
Yes, sir.

3348
02:39:50,999 --> 02:39:53,500
He was at the Pontchartrain wall...

3349
02:39:53,874 --> 02:39:56,124
with the man who shot the president.

3350
02:39:57,208 --> 02:40:00,082
I remember him 'cause of his limp.

3351
02:40:00,166 --> 02:40:02,998
A heroin addict,
injecting himself at the wall,

3352
02:40:03,082 --> 02:40:05,500
barely conscious of his surroundings.

3353
02:40:05,665 --> 02:40:06,832
Is that the man?

3354
02:40:06,999 --> 02:40:08,540
That was the man, right there.

3355
02:40:08,874 --> 02:40:11,124
He dropped Oswald off
on the voters' line.

3356
02:40:11,500 --> 02:40:14,581
<i>I remember 'cause they were the
only white strangers around that morning.</i>

3357
02:40:14,665 --> 02:40:18,500
<i>That big, black Cadillac of his
made me think they might be FBI.</i>

3358
02:40:21,999 --> 02:40:26,166
Said he was a representative of one
International Trade Mart in New Orleans.

3359
02:40:26,458 --> 02:40:29,249
More than five years ago,
for two minutes.

3360
02:40:29,665 --> 02:40:32,082
It's fair to say you could be mistaken.

3361
02:40:32,166 --> 02:40:34,290
It was just a figment of my imagination.

3362
02:40:34,374 --> 02:40:37,374
The cat's stewing you, the oyster's
shucking you, I told him.

3363
02:40:37,458 --> 02:40:40,166
You got the right ta-ta,
but the wrong ho-ho.

3364
02:40:41,166 --> 02:40:44,457
Bertrand is not Shaw, scout's honor,
and you can tell him I said so.

3365
02:40:44,540 --> 02:40:46,082
Objection, your Honor.
This office has won

3366
02:40:46,166 --> 02:40:49,290
a conviction of perjury against
Dean Andrews on this matter.

3367
02:40:49,374 --> 02:40:51,582
Exception taken.
That case is on appeal.

3368
02:40:52,790 --> 02:40:53,957
Mr. Goldberg...

3369
02:40:54,458 --> 02:40:57,457
you claim that you met David Ferrie
and Clay Shaw on a vacation trip

3370
02:40:57,540 --> 02:40:59,623
from your accounting business in New York.

3371
02:40:59,707 --> 02:41:00,790
You had drinks...

3372
02:41:01,208 --> 02:41:04,457
and, under the influence, discussed
killing Kennedy, is that not so?

3373
02:41:04,540 --> 02:41:05,623
Yes, I did.

3374
02:41:05,707 --> 02:41:07,998
Is it not also true that you
fingerprinted your daughter

3375
02:41:08,082 --> 02:41:10,333
when she went to Louisiana
State University?

3376
02:41:10,665 --> 02:41:11,707
Yes, sir, I did.

3377
02:41:11,916 --> 02:41:14,790
And is it not also true that you
fingerprinted her when she returned

3378
02:41:14,874 --> 02:41:15,957
at the end of the semester?

3379
02:41:16,041 --> 02:41:17,333
Yes, I did.

3380
02:41:17,665 --> 02:41:18,582
Why?

3381
02:41:19,041 --> 02:41:22,338
Well, I wanted to make sure that she was
the same girl I sent away.

3382
02:41:25,749 --> 02:41:28,082
He was one of Broussard's
witnesses, chief.

3383
02:41:28,166 --> 02:41:30,374
He was totally sane when we took
his affidavit.

3384
02:41:30,458 --> 02:41:34,416
Your Honor, we call police officer
Aloysius Habighorst to the stand.

3385
02:41:35,082 --> 02:41:37,706
I'm going to have to ask the jury to
leave the courtroom.

3386
02:41:37,790 --> 02:41:39,040
Gentlemen, will you please rise

3387
02:41:39,124 --> 02:41:40,273
- What?
- And follow me?

3388
02:41:40,458 --> 02:41:42,040
Name. First, middle, and last.

3389
02:41:42,124 --> 02:41:43,706
Clay Lavergne Shaw.

3390
02:41:43,790 --> 02:41:45,873
The defendant did not have his lawyer
present when asked!

3391
02:41:45,957 --> 02:41:48,207
Jesus, Ed, from time immemorial, it's
been standard booking procedure

3392
02:41:48,291 --> 02:41:50,540
- to ask an alias, you know that!
- I call 'em as I see 'em!

3393
02:41:50,624 --> 02:41:52,572
- Ever use any aliases?
- Clay Bertrand.

3394
02:41:55,249 --> 02:41:57,665
There's no constitutional requirement
that says a lawyer

3395
02:41:57,749 --> 02:41:59,416
- has to be present for routine questions!
- I'm ruling it inadmissible!

3396
02:41:59,500 --> 02:42:02,646
- I'm ruling it inadmissible.
- Well, hell, Ed, that's our case!

3397
02:42:02,874 --> 02:42:05,374
If that's your case,
you didn't have a case.

3398
02:42:05,665 --> 02:42:08,748
I wouldn't believe anything
Habighorst said, anyway.

3399
02:42:08,832 --> 02:42:10,665
I can't believe you're saying this
in the courtroom.

3400
02:42:10,749 --> 02:42:13,249
Well, I am saying it.
Bring in the jury.

3401
02:42:17,124 --> 02:42:18,166
<i>Oswald?</i>

3402
02:42:19,374 --> 02:42:20,206
<i>No, I did not.</i>

3403
02:42:20,540 --> 02:42:22,499
<i>Ever called Dean Andrews?</i>

3404
02:42:22,582 --> 02:42:23,957
<i>No, I did not.</i>

3405
02:42:25,166 --> 02:42:27,457
And have you ever met David Ferrie?

3406
02:42:27,540 --> 02:42:28,624
No.

3407
02:42:28,874 --> 02:42:30,082
Wouldn't even know what he looked like,

3408
02:42:30,166 --> 02:42:32,613
if it hadn't been for the pictures
I'd been shown.

3409
02:42:33,874 --> 02:42:35,998
Did you ever use the alias Clay Bertrand?

3410
02:42:36,082 --> 02:42:36,957
No.

3411
02:42:37,458 --> 02:42:38,540
I did not.

3412
02:42:39,500 --> 02:42:41,166
Thank you, Mr. Shaw.

3413
02:42:44,582 --> 02:42:47,957
Well, a very great actor has just given us
a great performance, Your Honor,

3414
02:42:48,041 --> 02:42:50,124
but we are nowhere closer to the truth.

3415
02:42:51,166 --> 02:42:54,040
Let it be noted that my office is
charging Clay Shaw

3416
02:42:54,124 --> 02:42:57,832
with outright perjury on the 15 answers he
has given in this courtroom today,

3417
02:42:57,916 --> 02:43:00,082
not one word of truth
having escaped his lips...

3418
02:43:00,166 --> 02:43:02,333
You're out of order, Jim Boy,
now sit down!

3419
02:43:11,249 --> 02:43:14,374
To prove there was a conspiracy
involving Clay Shaw...

3420
02:43:14,916 --> 02:43:17,249
we must first prove that there was
more than one man

3421
02:43:17,333 --> 02:43:18,916
involved in the assassination.

3422
02:43:20,041 --> 02:43:21,290
To do that

3423
02:43:21,374 --> 02:43:24,620
we must look at the Zapruder film,
which my office has subpoenaed.

3424
02:43:25,582 --> 02:43:27,790
The American public has not seen that...

3425
02:43:29,916 --> 02:43:32,040
The American public
has not seen that film

3426
02:43:32,124 --> 02:43:35,670
because it has been kept locked away in
a vault for the last five years,

3427
02:43:35,832 --> 02:43:38,166
in the <i>Time-Life</i> Building
in New York City.

3428
02:43:39,374 --> 02:43:40,832
There's a reason for that.

3429
02:43:42,458 --> 02:43:43,582
Watch.

3430
02:44:33,665 --> 02:44:35,874
Picture speaks a thousand
words, doesn't it.

3431
02:44:37,832 --> 02:44:40,829
The Warren Commission thought they had
an open-and-shut case.

3432
02:44:40,957 --> 02:44:42,624
Three bullets, one assassin.

3433
02:44:43,832 --> 02:44:47,499
But two unpredictable things happened that
day that made it virtually impossible.

3434
02:44:47,582 --> 02:44:51,207
One, the eight-millimeter home movie
taken by Abraham Zapruder

3435
02:44:51,291 --> 02:44:53,139
<i>while standing near the grassy knoll.</i>

3436
02:44:53,540 --> 02:44:54,332
<i>And two,</i>

3437
02:44:54,416 --> 02:44:56,290
the third wounded man, James Tague,

3438
02:44:56,374 --> 02:44:57,790
who was nicked by a fragment

3439
02:44:57,957 --> 02:45:00,166
<i>while standing near the Triple Underpass.</i>

3440
02:45:00,749 --> 02:45:04,458
The time frame of 5.6 seconds
established by the Zapruder film,

3441
02:45:04,624 --> 02:45:07,249
left no possibility of a fourth shot.

3442
02:45:07,540 --> 02:45:09,249
So the shot or fragment

3443
02:45:09,333 --> 02:45:11,749
that left a superficial wound on
Tague's cheek...

3444
02:45:12,082 --> 02:45:13,748
had to come from one of the three bullets

3445
02:45:13,832 --> 02:45:16,082
fired from the sixth floor
of the depository.

3446
02:45:17,166 --> 02:45:18,665
That leaves just two bullets.

3447
02:45:19,540 --> 02:45:22,887
And we know one of them was the fatal
head shot that killed Kennedy.

3448
02:45:24,874 --> 02:45:26,832
So, now, a single bullet remains.

3449
02:45:26,916 --> 02:45:29,665
A single bullet now has to account
for the remaining

3450
02:45:29,749 --> 02:45:31,597
seven wounds in Kennedy and Connally.

3451
02:45:32,416 --> 02:45:35,581
But rather than admit to a conspiracy
or investigate further,

3452
02:45:35,665 --> 02:45:38,832
the Warren Commission chose to endorse
the theory put forth

3453
02:45:38,916 --> 02:45:41,623
by an ambitious junior counselor,
Arlen Specter,

3454
02:45:41,707 --> 02:45:45,458
one of the grossest lies ever forced on
the American people.

3455
02:45:46,707 --> 02:45:49,333
We've come to know it as the
"magic bullet" theory.

3456
02:45:49,957 --> 02:45:51,499
The magic bullet

3457
02:45:51,582 --> 02:45:55,707
enters the President's back, headed
downward at an angle of 17 degrees.

3458
02:45:56,416 --> 02:45:58,082
It then moves upward,

3459
02:45:58,166 --> 02:46:01,416
in order to leave Kennedy's body
from the front of his neck...

3460
02:46:01,707 --> 02:46:02,999
wound number two...

3461
02:46:03,790 --> 02:46:06,374
where it waits 1.6 seconds,

3462
02:46:06,458 --> 02:46:09,124
presumably in midair,
where it turns right...

3463
02:46:09,624 --> 02:46:10,665
then left...

3464
02:46:11,082 --> 02:46:13,416
right, then left,

3465
02:46:13,500 --> 02:46:16,957
and continues into Connally's body
at the rear of his right armpit,

3466
02:46:17,124 --> 02:46:18,416
wound number three.

3467
02:46:19,082 --> 02:46:20,873
The bullet then heads downward,

3468
02:46:20,957 --> 02:46:24,499
at an angle of 27 degrees,
shattering Connally's fifth rib,

3469
02:46:24,582 --> 02:46:26,999
and exiting from the right side
of his chest,

3470
02:46:27,208 --> 02:46:28,416
wound number four.

3471
02:46:29,082 --> 02:46:30,749
The bullet then turns right...

3472
02:46:31,249 --> 02:46:34,166
and reenters Connally's body
at his right wrist...

3473
02:46:34,416 --> 02:46:35,790
would number five.

3474
02:46:36,416 --> 02:46:38,249
Shattering the radius bone...

3475
02:46:38,500 --> 02:46:41,707
the bullet then exits Connally's wrist,
wound number six,

3476
02:46:41,832 --> 02:46:43,873
makes a dramatic U-turn,

3477
02:46:43,957 --> 02:46:46,706
and buries itself into Connally's
left thigh,

3478
02:46:46,790 --> 02:46:49,999
wound number seven,
from which it later falls out...

3479
02:46:50,291 --> 02:46:52,957
and is found in almost "pristine"
condition...

3480
02:46:53,458 --> 02:46:56,124
<i>on a stretcher in a corridor of
Parkland Hospital.</i>

3481
02:46:59,124 --> 02:47:00,291
That's some bullet.

3482
02:47:02,208 --> 02:47:05,416
Anyone who's been in combat will tell you
never in the history of gunfire

3483
02:47:05,500 --> 02:47:07,790
has there been a bullet this ridiculous.

3484
02:47:09,041 --> 02:47:11,040
Yet the government says it can prove it,

3485
02:47:11,124 --> 02:47:13,749
with some fancy physics in a nuclear
laboratory.

3486
02:47:14,416 --> 02:47:15,707
Course they can.

3487
02:47:16,124 --> 02:47:19,374
Theoretical physics can prove that
an elephant can hang from a cliff

3488
02:47:19,458 --> 02:47:21,249
with his tail tied to a daisy.

3489
02:47:22,624 --> 02:47:24,665
But use your eyes, your common sense.

3490
02:47:25,374 --> 02:47:28,207
The Army Wound Ballistics experts
at Edgewood Arsenal

3491
02:47:28,291 --> 02:47:29,916
fired some comparison bullets.

3492
02:47:30,249 --> 02:47:32,582
Not one of them looked anything
like this.

3493
02:47:34,291 --> 02:47:36,707
Take a look at CE 856...

3494
02:47:37,416 --> 02:47:41,624
an identical bullet fired through the
wrist of a human cadaver.

3495
02:47:42,707 --> 02:47:45,707
Just one of the bones smashed by
the magic bullet.

3496
02:47:46,749 --> 02:47:48,374
Seven wounds, gentlemen.

3497
02:47:48,749 --> 02:47:51,624
Tough skin, dense bones.

3498
02:47:53,291 --> 02:47:55,581
This single bullet explanation

3499
02:47:55,665 --> 02:47:59,374
is the foundation of the Warren
Commission's claim of a lone assassin.

3500
02:48:00,249 --> 02:48:01,499
And once you conclude

3501
02:48:01,582 --> 02:48:04,873
the magic bullet could not create all
seven of those wounds,

3502
02:48:04,957 --> 02:48:07,915
you have to conclude
that there was a fourth shot

3503
02:48:07,999 --> 02:48:09,291
and a second rifleman.

3504
02:48:10,874 --> 02:48:12,722
And if there was a second rifleman...

3505
02:48:13,416 --> 02:48:14,582
Then, by definition...

3506
02:48:14,916 --> 02:48:17,040
<i>there had to be a conspiracy,</i>

3507
02:48:17,124 --> 02:48:19,957
which we believe involves
the accused Clay Shaw.

3508
02:48:21,041 --> 02:48:24,540
Fifty-one witnesses, gentlemen of the
jury, thought they heard shots

3509
02:48:24,665 --> 02:48:26,499
coming from the grassy knoll,

3510
02:48:26,582 --> 02:48:29,540
which is to the right and front of
the president.

3511
02:48:30,707 --> 02:48:32,333
<i>Key witnesses that day...</i>

3512
02:48:33,124 --> 02:48:35,665
Charles Brehm, a combat vet.

3513
02:48:36,041 --> 02:48:39,249
- Right behind, Jean Hill and Mary Moorman.
- Hey, Mr. President!

3514
02:48:39,333 --> 02:48:43,706
SM Holland, Richard Dodd, James
Simmons standing on the overpass.

3515
02:48:43,790 --> 02:48:46,874
JC Price, overlooking the whole Plaza.

3516
02:48:47,458 --> 02:48:51,457
William Newman, father of two children,
who hit the deck

3517
02:48:51,540 --> 02:48:54,249
<i>on the north side of Elm.</i>

3518
02:48:54,333 --> 02:48:55,999
Abraham Zapruder.

3519
02:49:12,665 --> 02:49:15,665
Each of these key witnesses
has no doubt whatsoever

3520
02:49:15,749 --> 02:49:18,458
<i>one or more shots came from
behind the picket fence.</i>

3521
02:49:19,999 --> 02:49:23,124
Twenty-six trained medical personnel
at Parkland Hospital

3522
02:49:23,208 --> 02:49:25,957
saw, with their own eyes,
the back of the president's head

3523
02:49:26,041 --> 02:49:27,333
blasted out!

3524
02:49:29,291 --> 02:49:30,374
Dr. Peters.

3525
02:49:31,749 --> 02:49:33,915
There was a large,
seven-centimeter opening

3526
02:49:33,999 --> 02:49:36,290
<i>in the right occipitoparietal area.</i>

3527
02:49:36,374 --> 02:49:39,790
A considerable portion of the brain
was missing there.

3528
02:49:40,707 --> 02:49:44,207
Almost a fifth or possibly a quarter
of the back of the head

3529
02:49:44,291 --> 02:49:45,748
had been blasted out,

3530
02:49:45,832 --> 02:49:48,290
<i>- along with the underlying brain tissue.</i>
- Father, what is the proper time to

3531
02:49:48,374 --> 02:49:51,040
declare one dead for the last rites?

3532
02:49:51,124 --> 02:49:53,082
<i>There was also a large fragment of skull</i>

3533
02:49:53,166 --> 02:49:55,249
<i>attached to a flap of scalp.</i>

3534
02:49:55,333 --> 02:49:59,540
<i>The exit hole in the rear of his head
measured about 120 millimeters,</i>

3535
02:49:59,624 --> 02:50:01,332
<i>or five inches across.</i>

3536
02:50:01,416 --> 02:50:04,124
<i>Not one of the civilian doctors
who examined the president</i>

3537
02:50:04,208 --> 02:50:05,499
<i>at Parkland Hospital</i>

3538
02:50:05,582 --> 02:50:08,665
<i>regarded his throat wound as anything
but a wound of entry.</i>

3539
02:50:09,832 --> 02:50:13,179
But then the body was illegally moved
to Washington for the autopsy.

3540
02:50:13,500 --> 02:50:15,290
<i>Because when a coup d'état has occurred,</i>

3541
02:50:15,374 --> 02:50:16,873
- Hold it!
<i>- There's a big difference</i>

3542
02:50:16,957 --> 02:50:18,957
<i>between an autopsy that is performed</i>

3543
02:50:19,041 --> 02:50:20,207
<i>-by civilian doctors,</i>
-You're not taking him!

3544
02:50:20,291 --> 02:50:23,138
<i>And one that is performed by military
doctors under order.</i>

3545
02:50:25,041 --> 02:50:28,249
<i>The departure of Air Force One from
Love Field that Friday afternoon</i>

3546
02:50:28,333 --> 02:50:31,457
<i>was not so much a takeoff
as it was a getaway</i>

3547
02:50:31,540 --> 02:50:33,290
<i>with the newly sworn in president.</i>

3548
02:50:33,374 --> 02:50:34,706
Objection, Your Honor.

3549
02:50:34,790 --> 02:50:35,623
Sustained.

3550
02:50:35,707 --> 02:50:36,623
On the plane, of course,

3551
02:50:36,707 --> 02:50:38,665
Lee Harvey Oswald's guilt was announced

3552
02:50:38,749 --> 02:50:41,290
by the White House Situation Room
to all passengers

3553
02:50:41,374 --> 02:50:44,124
before any kind of investigation
had started...

3554
02:50:44,624 --> 02:50:47,290
the "angry, lone nut" solution beginning
to take its shape.

3555
02:50:47,374 --> 02:50:49,040
Objection, Your Honor!

3556
02:50:49,124 --> 02:50:50,208
Sustained.

3557
02:50:50,458 --> 02:50:53,874
Mr. Garrison,
will you please bottle the acid!

3558
02:50:55,916 --> 02:50:58,040
The three Bethesda Naval Hospital doctors

3559
02:50:58,124 --> 02:51:00,748
<i>picked by the military
left something to be desired</i>

3560
02:51:00,832 --> 02:51:04,500
<i>insomuch as none of them had any
experience with combat gunfire wounds.</i>

3561
02:51:04,832 --> 02:51:07,665
<i>Through their autopsy, we've been
able to justify eight wounds</i>

3562
02:51:07,749 --> 02:51:09,041
<i>from just two bullets.</i>

3563
02:51:09,582 --> 02:51:11,540
<i>Three to Kennedy, five to Connally...</i>

3564
02:51:11,999 --> 02:51:14,374
- Look what I found on the floor.
<i>- One of them being the magic bullet.</i>

3565
02:51:14,458 --> 02:51:15,998
- FBI?
- Here.

3566
02:51:16,082 --> 02:51:19,749
Colonel Finck, are you saying
someone told you not to dissect the neck?

3567
02:51:20,208 --> 02:51:23,255
I was told that the family wanted
the examination of the head.

3568
02:51:23,916 --> 02:51:25,124
Oh, Christ.

3569
02:51:25,208 --> 02:51:26,998
Looks like half his brain is gone.

3570
02:51:27,082 --> 02:51:27,998
Let's weigh it.

3571
02:51:28,082 --> 02:51:29,665
653 grams.

3572
02:51:29,749 --> 02:51:31,957
<i>As a pathologist, it was your obligation</i>

3573
02:51:32,041 --> 02:51:34,707
to explore all possible
causes of death, was it not?

3574
02:51:34,832 --> 02:51:36,249
I had the cause of death.

3575
02:51:36,333 --> 02:51:40,041
Your Honor, I would ask you to direct
the witness to answer my question.

3576
02:51:40,790 --> 02:51:43,748
Why did Colonel Finck not dissect the
track of the bullet wound?

3577
02:51:43,832 --> 02:51:46,416
- Obvious tracheotomy...
- Well, I heard Dr. Humes stating that...

3578
02:51:46,500 --> 02:51:50,082
That's enough, that's enough.
It's duly noted.

3579
02:51:50,458 --> 02:51:51,873
Okay, let's check the back, gentlemen.

3580
02:51:51,957 --> 02:51:53,124
All right.

3581
02:51:54,665 --> 02:51:58,312
There's a considerable amount of
spinal fluid coming out of his right ear.

3582
02:51:59,874 --> 02:52:02,207
I can feel the end of the
wound with my finger.

3583
02:52:02,291 --> 02:52:04,208
That won't be necessary, Commander.

3584
02:52:07,041 --> 02:52:09,139
- Watch the ear, watch the ear.
- Yes, sir.

3585
02:52:09,790 --> 02:52:12,374
Shot in the back.
Cheap crime.

3586
02:52:12,540 --> 02:52:15,374
- <i>He said...</i>
- Who's in charge, here?

3587
02:52:15,916 --> 02:52:17,041
I am.

3588
02:52:18,291 --> 02:52:19,749
I don't remember his name.

3589
02:52:20,333 --> 02:52:22,374
You must understand it was quite crowded.

3590
02:52:22,458 --> 02:52:24,249
<i>And when you are called,
in circumstances like that,</i>

3591
02:52:24,333 --> 02:52:26,249
<i>to look at the wound of the president,
who is dead,</i>

3592
02:52:26,333 --> 02:52:29,290
<i>you don't look around a lot to ask people
for their names and who they are.</i>

3593
02:52:29,374 --> 02:52:31,165
<i>But you were a qualified pathologist.</i>

3594
02:52:31,249 --> 02:52:33,790
<i>Was this Army general a qualified
pathologist?</i>

3595
02:52:33,874 --> 02:52:35,832
<i>No.</i>

3596
02:52:35,916 --> 02:52:37,790
No, but you took his orders?

3597
02:52:37,874 --> 02:52:38,790
Yes.

3598
02:52:38,874 --> 02:52:41,040
- So he was directing the autopsy?
- No.

3599
02:52:41,124 --> 02:52:43,124
- No?
- No, no, because there were others.

3600
02:52:43,208 --> 02:52:44,374
There were others?

3601
02:52:44,458 --> 02:52:46,458
There were others.
There were admirals.

3602
02:52:46,707 --> 02:52:48,207
<i>- Oh, there were admirals.
- Oh, yes.</i>

3603
02:52:48,291 --> 02:52:51,290
And when you are a lieutenant colonel
in the Army, you just follow orders.

3604
02:52:51,374 --> 02:52:56,165
It is not our business to discuss this
with anyone outside this room.

3605
02:52:56,249 --> 02:52:59,249
As I recall it was Admiral Kenney,
the surgeon general of the Navy.

3606
02:52:59,333 --> 02:53:02,333
<i>We were specifically told
not to discuss the case.</i>

3607
02:53:05,374 --> 02:53:08,832
A lot of people that day were deciding
what was private,

3608
02:53:08,916 --> 02:53:11,166
none of the American people's business.

3609
02:53:11,790 --> 02:53:13,832
The chief pathologist, Commander Humes,

3610
02:53:13,916 --> 02:53:17,208
by his own admission
voluntarily burned his autopsy notes.

3611
02:53:17,916 --> 02:53:20,499
President Johnson orders the
blood-soaked limousine,

3612
02:53:20,582 --> 02:53:22,124
<i>filled with bullet holes and clues,</i>

3613
02:53:22,208 --> 02:53:24,374
to be immediately washed and rebuilt.

3614
02:53:24,458 --> 02:53:27,665
He sends John Connally's bloody suit
right to the cleaners...

3615
02:53:28,458 --> 02:53:32,665
The Justice Department denied this office
access to the autopsy photos.

3616
02:53:33,624 --> 02:53:35,082
And when we finally get a court order

3617
02:53:35,166 --> 02:53:38,332
to examine President Kennedy's brain
in the National Archives,

3618
02:53:38,416 --> 02:53:41,762
in the hopes of finding from
which direction the bullet came from

3619
02:53:41,999 --> 02:53:43,998
we're told by the government

3620
02:53:44,082 --> 02:53:45,499
your government

3621
02:53:45,582 --> 02:53:48,333
that the president's brain has
disappeared.

3622
02:53:51,624 --> 02:53:53,124
That's not all that's disappeared,
gentlemen.

3623
02:53:53,208 --> 02:53:55,374
With it, I think, the concept of justice.

3624
02:53:55,458 --> 02:53:56,748
Objection, Your Honor!

3625
02:53:56,832 --> 02:53:59,790
Not only has Mr. Garrison insulted
the federal government,

3626
02:53:59,874 --> 02:54:02,874
- but he is also introducing...
- Overruled! Overruled!

3627
02:54:09,082 --> 02:54:11,249
So what really happened that day?

3628
02:54:11,790 --> 02:54:14,500
Let's just for a moment speculate,
shall we?

3629
02:54:14,957 --> 02:54:17,915
We have the epileptic seizure
around 12:15 p.m.,

3630
02:54:17,999 --> 02:54:19,165
<i>distracting the police,</i>

3631
02:54:19,249 --> 02:54:22,196
<i>making it easier for the shooters to
move into their places.</i>

3632
02:54:22,790 --> 02:54:24,790
<i>The epileptic later vanished,</i>

3633
02:54:24,874 --> 02:54:27,166
<i>never checking into the hospital.</i>

3634
02:54:28,041 --> 02:54:30,790
<i>The A Team gets on the sixth floor
of the depository.</i>

3635
02:54:31,374 --> 02:54:34,040
<i>Now, they were refurbishing the floors
in the depository that week,</i>

3636
02:54:34,124 --> 02:54:36,999
<i>which allowed unknown workmen
in and out of the building.</i>

3637
02:54:38,249 --> 02:54:41,500
<i>They move quickly into position, just
minutes before the shooting.</i>

3638
02:54:41,999 --> 02:54:44,832
<i>The second spotter on the radio
talking to the two other teams</i>

3639
02:54:44,916 --> 02:54:48,374
<i>has the best overall view,
"the God spot."</i>

3640
02:54:48,458 --> 02:54:49,873
<i>B Team,</i>

3641
02:54:49,957 --> 02:54:53,790
<i>one rifleman and one spotter with a
headset and access to the building,</i>

3642
02:54:53,874 --> 02:54:56,416
<i>moves into the low floor of the
Dal-Tex Building.</i>

3643
02:54:57,832 --> 02:55:01,457
<i>The third team, the C Team, moves in
behind the picket fence</i>

3644
02:55:01,540 --> 02:55:02,790
<i>above the grassy knoll,</i>

3645
02:55:02,874 --> 02:55:06,082
<i>where the shooter and the spotter are
first seen by the late Lee Bowers</i>

3646
02:55:06,166 --> 02:55:07,864
<i>in the watchtower of the railyard.</i>

3647
02:55:08,291 --> 02:55:10,416
<i>They have the best position of all.</i>

3648
02:55:10,790 --> 02:55:14,249
<i>Kennedy is close and on a flat,
low trajectory.</i>

3649
02:55:14,707 --> 02:55:16,623
<i>Part of this team is a coordinator,</i>

3650
02:55:16,707 --> 02:55:19,249
<i>who's flashed security credentials
at several people,</i>

3651
02:55:19,333 --> 02:55:21,957
<i>chasing them out of the parking lot area.</i>

3652
02:55:22,041 --> 02:55:26,332
<i>Probably two to three more men are down
in the crowd on Elm.</i>

3653
02:55:26,416 --> 02:55:30,416
<i>Ten to 12 men, three teams,
three shooters.</i>

3654
02:55:30,500 --> 02:55:34,874
<i>The triangulation of fire Clay Shaw and
David Ferrie discussed two months before.</i>

3655
02:55:35,416 --> 02:55:37,957
<i>They've walked the Plaza.</i>

3656
02:55:38,041 --> 02:55:39,957
<i>They know every inch.</i>

3657
02:55:41,832 --> 02:55:45,749
<i>They've calibrated their sights,
they've practiced on moving targets.</i>

3658
02:55:46,665 --> 02:55:48,166
<i>They're ready.</i>

3659
02:55:48,916 --> 02:55:52,249
<i>Kennedy's motorcade makes a turn from Main
onto Houston.</i>

3660
02:55:52,957 --> 02:55:55,916
<i>It's gonna be a turkey shoot.</i>

3661
02:55:56,790 --> 02:55:58,832
<i>They don't shoot him coming up Houston,</i>

3662
02:55:58,916 --> 02:56:02,665
<i>which is the easiest shot for a single
shooter in the book depository!</i>

3663
02:56:02,790 --> 02:56:03,957
<i>They wait.</i>

3664
02:56:04,041 --> 02:56:07,291
<i>They wait till he gets to the killing zone
between three rifles.</i>

3665
02:56:07,790 --> 02:56:11,665
<i>Kennedy makes the final turn from
Houston onto Elm,</i>

3666
02:56:11,749 --> 02:56:12,665
<i>slowing down</i>

3667
02:56:12,749 --> 02:56:15,623
<i>to some 11 miles an hour.</i>

3668
02:56:15,707 --> 02:56:19,707
<i>The shooters across Dealey Plaza tighten,
taking their aim...</i>

3669
02:56:21,291 --> 02:56:23,416
<i>Waiting for the radio to say,</i>

3670
02:56:23,500 --> 02:56:25,249
<i>"green, green!"</i>

3671
02:56:25,333 --> 02:56:27,707
<i>Or "abort, abort!"</i>

3672
02:56:33,957 --> 02:56:35,582
<i>The first shot rings out.</i>

3673
02:56:36,916 --> 02:56:39,874
<i>Sounding like a backfire, it misses the
car completely.</i>

3674
02:56:40,291 --> 02:56:43,957
Frame 161, Kennedy stops waving as he
hears something.

3675
02:56:44,041 --> 02:56:46,624
<i>Connally's head turns
slightly to the right.</i>

3676
02:56:46,999 --> 02:56:51,165
<i>Frame 193, the second shot hits Kennedy
in the throat from the front.</i>

3677
02:56:51,249 --> 02:56:52,790
<i>Frame 225,</i>

3678
02:56:52,874 --> 02:56:55,332
<i>the president emerging from
behind the road sign.</i>

3679
02:56:55,416 --> 02:56:59,012
<i>You can see that he's obviously been hit,
raising his arms to his throat.</i>

3680
02:56:59,208 --> 02:57:01,790
<i>The third shot, frame 232,</i>

3681
02:57:01,874 --> 02:57:05,416
<i>hits Kennedy in the back, pulling him
downward and forward.</i>

3682
02:57:05,832 --> 02:57:09,040
<i>Connally, you will notice, shows no signs
at all of being hit.</i>

3683
02:57:09,124 --> 02:57:10,832
<i>He is visibly holding his Stetson,</i>

3684
02:57:10,916 --> 02:57:13,249
<i>which is impossible if his wrist has
been shattered.</i>

3685
02:57:13,333 --> 02:57:15,124
<i>Connally is turning here now.</i>

3686
02:57:15,291 --> 02:57:17,790
Frame 238, the fourth shot.

3687
02:57:17,874 --> 02:57:19,082
<i>It misses Kennedy,</i>

3688
02:57:19,166 --> 02:57:21,291
<i>and takes Connally in the back.</i>

3689
02:57:21,458 --> 02:57:24,166
<i>This is the shot that proves there were
two rifles.</i>

3690
02:57:24,374 --> 02:57:27,665
<i>Connally yells out,
"My God, they're going to kill us all!"</i>

3691
02:57:27,957 --> 02:57:31,457
<i>Somewhere around this time now, another
shot that misses the car completely</i>

3692
02:57:31,540 --> 02:57:32,790
<i>strikes James Tague</i>

3693
02:57:32,874 --> 02:57:34,499
<i>down by the underpass.</i>

3694
02:57:34,582 --> 02:57:36,540
<i>The car brakes.</i>

3695
02:57:36,624 --> 02:57:38,332
<i>The sixth and fatal shot,</i>

3696
02:57:38,416 --> 02:57:41,957
<i>frame 313, takes Kennedy in the head
from the front.</i>

3697
02:57:43,707 --> 02:57:45,790
<i>This is the key shot.</i>

3698
02:57:45,874 --> 02:57:48,707
<i>The president going
back and to his left...</i>

3699
02:57:49,124 --> 02:57:51,124
<i>shot from the front and right...</i>

3700
02:57:52,124 --> 02:57:55,040
<i>totally inconsistent with the shot
from the depository.</i>

3701
02:57:55,124 --> 02:57:59,416
<i>Again, back and to the left.</i>

3702
02:58:00,582 --> 02:58:02,874
<i>Back... and to the left.</i>

3703
02:58:04,041 --> 02:58:06,249
<i>Back... and to the left.</i>

3704
02:58:07,166 --> 02:58:09,707
Back... and to the left.

3705
02:58:11,416 --> 02:58:12,916
<i>So what happens then?</i>

3706
02:58:15,582 --> 02:58:16,957
<i>Pandemonium.</i>

3707
02:58:19,582 --> 02:58:21,957
Get the hell out of here...

3708
02:58:26,957 --> 02:58:29,874
<i>The shooters quickly disassemble their
various weapons,</i>

3709
02:58:30,082 --> 02:58:32,082
<i>all except the Oswald rifle.</i>

3710
02:58:43,041 --> 02:58:46,998
<i>Patrolman Joe Smith rushes into the
parking lot behind the picket fence.</i>

3711
02:58:47,082 --> 02:58:48,290
<i>He smells gunpowder.</i>

3712
02:58:48,374 --> 02:58:50,873
The character produced credentials
from his pocket

3713
02:58:50,957 --> 02:58:52,805
<i>that showed him to be Secret Service.</i>

3714
02:58:53,500 --> 02:58:54,790
Let's see your ID.

3715
02:58:55,166 --> 02:58:56,665
- You see anybody else up here?
- No.

3716
02:58:56,749 --> 02:58:57,540
Keep looking!

3717
02:58:57,624 --> 02:58:59,249
<i>So I accepted that, and let him go</i>

3718
02:58:59,333 --> 02:59:00,581
<i>and continued to search.</i>

3719
02:59:00,665 --> 02:59:03,862
<i>But I regretted it, 'cause this guy
looked like an auto mechanic.</i>

3720
02:59:04,624 --> 02:59:06,915
<i>He had on a sports shirt and pants,</i>

3721
02:59:06,999 --> 02:59:08,790
<i>but he had dirty fingernails.</i>

3722
02:59:10,458 --> 02:59:13,457
<i>Afterwards it didn't ring true,
but at the time</i>

3723
02:59:13,540 --> 02:59:15,500
we were so pressed for time.

3724
02:59:16,500 --> 02:59:19,749
<i>Yet all Secret Servicemen in Dallas
that day are accounted for.</i>

3725
02:59:20,374 --> 02:59:23,207
<i>None were on foot in Dealey Plaza before
or after the shooting,</i>

3726
02:59:23,291 --> 02:59:27,624
till Dallas Secret Service Chief Forrest
Sorrels returned at 12:55.

3727
02:59:28,374 --> 02:59:31,999
<i>At least 12 other individuals were taken
into custody by Dallas police.</i>

3728
02:59:32,999 --> 02:59:34,582
No record of their arrests.

3729
02:59:34,790 --> 02:59:38,499
Men acting like hobos were being
pulled off trains,

3730
02:59:38,582 --> 02:59:41,082
marched through Dealey Plaza,
photographed,

3731
02:59:41,166 --> 02:59:43,364
<i>and yet there is no record
for their arrests.</i>

3732
02:59:43,500 --> 02:59:45,998
<i>Men identifying themselves as
Secret Service agents</i>

3733
02:59:46,082 --> 02:59:47,624
<i>were all over the place!</i>

3734
02:59:48,166 --> 02:59:50,082
But who was impersonating them?

3735
02:59:50,500 --> 02:59:52,333
And where was Lee Harvey Oswald?

3736
02:59:52,790 --> 02:59:54,249
<i>Around 12:15,</i>

3737
02:59:54,333 --> 02:59:56,623
<i>on her way out of the building
to see the motorcade,</i>

3738
02:59:56,707 --> 03:00:00,249
<i>secretary Carolyn Arnold sees Oswald in
the second floor snack room,</i>

3739
03:00:00,333 --> 03:00:02,707
where he said he went for a Coke.

3740
03:00:03,166 --> 03:00:05,957
He was in a booth on the right side
of the room.

3741
03:00:06,041 --> 03:00:06,790
Um...

3742
03:00:06,874 --> 03:00:08,540
He was by himself, as usual,

3743
03:00:08,624 --> 03:00:10,540
<i>and appeared to be having his lunch.</i>

3744
03:00:10,916 --> 03:00:13,749
<i>I didn't speak to him, but I recognized
him clearly.</i>

3745
03:00:14,249 --> 03:00:16,332
<i>At the same time, Bonnie Ray Williams</i>

3746
03:00:16,416 --> 03:00:18,082
<i>is supposedly eating his chicken lunch</i>

3747
03:00:18,166 --> 03:00:19,332
<i>on the sixth floor.</i>

3748
03:00:19,416 --> 03:00:22,458
<i>He's there until 12:15,
maybe 12:20.</i>

3749
03:00:23,082 --> 03:00:24,540
<i>He sees nobody.</i>

3750
03:00:25,166 --> 03:00:27,207
Arnold Rowland's down on the street,
he's looking up,

3751
03:00:27,291 --> 03:00:29,790
he sees two men
in the sixth floor window...

3752
03:00:30,041 --> 03:00:33,499
<i>presumably after Bonnie Ray Williams
had finished his lunch and left.</i>

3753
03:00:33,582 --> 03:00:34,915
<i>John Powell,</i>

3754
03:00:34,999 --> 03:00:37,790
<i>a prisoner on the sixth floor
of the Dallas county jail, sees them.</i>

3755
03:00:37,874 --> 03:00:39,457
<i>Quite a few of us guys saw them.</i>

3756
03:00:39,540 --> 03:00:41,665
Everybody was hollering and yelling
and all that.

3757
03:00:41,749 --> 03:00:43,582
<i>We thought they was security guys.</i>

3758
03:00:44,082 --> 03:00:45,540
If Oswald was the assassin,

3759
03:00:45,624 --> 03:00:49,071
he was certainly pretty nonchalant
about moving himself into position.

3760
03:00:49,374 --> 03:00:52,874
<i>Later, he told Dallas police he was
in the second-floor snack room.</i>

3761
03:00:53,208 --> 03:00:56,458
<i>Probably told to wait there by his handler
for a phone call.</i>

3762
03:00:58,166 --> 03:00:59,832
<i>But the phone call never came.</i>

3763
03:01:00,665 --> 03:01:03,249
<i>A maximum 90 seconds after
Kennedy is shot,</i>

3764
03:01:03,416 --> 03:01:05,499
<i>patrolman Marrion Baker runs into Oswald</i>

3765
03:01:05,582 --> 03:01:07,131
<i>in that second-floor lunchroom.</i>

3766
03:01:07,291 --> 03:01:08,416
Hey, you!

3767
03:01:08,832 --> 03:01:10,540
Do you know this man?
Is he an employee?

3768
03:01:10,624 --> 03:01:11,790
Yes, he is.

3769
03:01:11,874 --> 03:01:13,416
The president's been shot!

3770
03:01:13,582 --> 03:01:15,457
<i>But what the Warren Commission
would have us believe</i>

3771
03:01:15,540 --> 03:01:19,208
<i>is that after firing three bolt-action
shots in 5.6 seconds...</i>

3772
03:01:19,540 --> 03:01:23,582
<i>Oswald then leaves three cartridges neatly
side by side in the firing nest...</i>

3773
03:01:24,208 --> 03:01:26,040
<i>wipes the rifle clear of fingerprints,</i>

3774
03:01:26,124 --> 03:01:29,249
<i>stashes the rifle
on the other side of the loft...</i>

3775
03:01:29,999 --> 03:01:32,165
<i>sprints down five flights of stairs,</i>

3776
03:01:32,249 --> 03:01:34,623
<i>past witnesses Victoria Adams
and Sandra Styles,</i>

3777
03:01:34,707 --> 03:01:35,874
<i>who never see him...</i>

3778
03:01:36,707 --> 03:01:38,124
<i>then shows up, cool and calm,</i>

3779
03:01:38,208 --> 03:01:40,555
<i>on the second floor in front of
Patrolman Baker.</i>

3780
03:01:42,500 --> 03:01:45,290
<i>All this within a maximum of 90 seconds
of the shooting.</i>

3781
03:01:45,374 --> 03:01:46,332
Hey, you!

3782
03:01:46,416 --> 03:01:48,457
Do you know this man?
Is he an employee?

3783
03:01:48,540 --> 03:01:50,748
Yes, he is.
The president's been shot!

3784
03:01:50,832 --> 03:01:52,166
<i>Is he out of breath?</i>

3785
03:01:52,832 --> 03:01:55,249
<i>According to Baker, absolutely not.</i>

3786
03:01:55,916 --> 03:01:58,040
<i>Assuming he is the sole assassin,</i>

3787
03:01:58,124 --> 03:02:01,082
<i>Oswald is now free to escape from
the building.</i>

3788
03:02:01,166 --> 03:02:05,458
<i>The longer he delays, the more chance the
building will be sealed by police.</i>

3789
03:02:06,458 --> 03:02:07,374
<i>Is he guilty?</i>

3790
03:02:07,458 --> 03:02:10,082
<i>Does he walk out the nearest staircase?</i>

3791
03:02:10,790 --> 03:02:13,540
<i>No, he buys a Coke.</i>

3792
03:02:13,874 --> 03:02:15,790
<i>And at a slow pace,</i>

3793
03:02:15,874 --> 03:02:18,581
<i>spotted by Mrs. Reid on
the second floor,</i>

3794
03:02:18,665 --> 03:02:21,124
<i>he strolls out the more distant
front exit,</i>

3795
03:02:21,208 --> 03:02:22,915
<i>where the cops have gathered.</i>

3796
03:02:22,999 --> 03:02:26,040
<i>Oddly, considering that three shots have
been fired from there,</i>

3797
03:02:26,124 --> 03:02:29,291
<i>nobody seals the book depository for
10 more minutes.</i>

3798
03:02:29,500 --> 03:02:32,333
<i>Oswald slips out, as do several other
employees.</i>

3799
03:02:32,749 --> 03:02:35,374
<i>Of course, when he realized something
had gone wrong</i>

3800
03:02:35,458 --> 03:02:37,156
<i>and the president had been killed,</i>

3801
03:02:37,333 --> 03:02:38,916
he knew there was a problem.

3802
03:02:39,665 --> 03:02:41,706
He may even have known he was the patsy.

3803
03:02:41,790 --> 03:02:43,207
<i>An intuition, maybe.</i>

3804
03:02:43,291 --> 03:02:45,957
<i>The president killed, in spite of
his warning.</i>

3805
03:02:46,041 --> 03:02:47,957
The phone call that never came.

3806
03:02:48,041 --> 03:02:51,624
Perhaps, fear now came to Oswald
for the very first time.

3807
03:02:52,957 --> 03:02:56,249
<i>So Oswald returns to his rooming
house around 1 p.m.,</i>

3808
03:02:56,333 --> 03:02:58,623
<i>a half hour after the assassination.</i>

3809
03:02:58,707 --> 03:03:00,790
A man shot the president!

3810
03:03:00,874 --> 03:03:03,749
<i>He puts on his jacket, grabs his
.38 revolver,</i>

3811
03:03:03,916 --> 03:03:05,832
<i>and leaves at 1:04.</i>

3812
03:03:06,374 --> 03:03:07,790
<i>Earlene Roberts, the housekeeper,</i>

3813
03:03:07,874 --> 03:03:11,207
<i>says she heard two beeps on a car horn,
that two uniformed cops</i>

3814
03:03:11,291 --> 03:03:13,207
<i>pulled up to the house
where Oswald was in his room,</i>

3815
03:03:13,291 --> 03:03:14,999
<i>like it was a signal or something.</i>

3816
03:03:15,957 --> 03:03:18,290
<i>Officer Tippit is shot
between 1:10</i>

3817
03:03:18,374 --> 03:03:20,540
<i>and 1:15,
about a mile away.</i>

3818
03:03:20,624 --> 03:03:23,249
<i>And though no one actually saw him
walking or jogging,</i>

3819
03:03:23,333 --> 03:03:26,082
<i>the government says Oswald covered
that distance.</i>

3820
03:03:26,166 --> 03:03:27,457
<i>Now, giving the government</i>

3821
03:03:27,540 --> 03:03:28,748
<i>-the benefit of the doubt,</i>
-Sir?

3822
03:03:28,832 --> 03:03:30,249
- Excuse me, sir?
<i>- Oswald would have had to jog</i>

3823
03:03:30,333 --> 03:03:31,957
<i>a mile in six to 11 minutes</i>

3824
03:03:32,041 --> 03:03:33,457
<i>and then commit the murder,</i>

3825
03:03:33,540 --> 03:03:34,873
<i>then reverse his direction</i>

3826
03:03:34,957 --> 03:03:37,873
<i>and walk three-fifths of a mile to
the Texas Theatre</i>

3827
03:03:37,957 --> 03:03:40,624
<i>and arrive sometime
before 1:30.</i>

3828
03:03:45,999 --> 03:03:48,665
<i>It's also a useful conclusion, after all.</i>

3829
03:03:48,749 --> 03:03:50,457
<i>Why else would Oswald kill Tippit?</i>

3830
03:03:50,540 --> 03:03:52,207
<i>Unless he'd just shot the president,</i>

3831
03:03:52,291 --> 03:03:54,207
<i>and feared arrest?</i>

3832
03:03:54,291 --> 03:03:55,540
<i>Domingo Benavides...</i>

3833
03:03:57,707 --> 03:03:59,605
<i>The closest witness to the shooting...</i>

3834
03:03:59,916 --> 03:04:03,832
<i>refused to identify Oswald as the killer
and was never taken to a lineup.</i>

3835
03:04:05,291 --> 03:04:07,688
<i>Acquilla Clemons saw the killer with
another man,</i>

3836
03:04:07,874 --> 03:04:10,124
<i>and says they went off in
separate directions.</i>

3837
03:04:10,208 --> 03:04:13,999
Mrs. Clemons was never taken to a lineup
or to the Warren Commission.

3838
03:04:14,540 --> 03:04:15,623
At the scene of the crime,

3839
03:04:15,707 --> 03:04:18,540
<i>Officer JM Poe marks the shells
with his initials</i>

3840
03:04:18,624 --> 03:04:21,291
<i>to record the chain of evidence.</i>

3841
03:04:21,458 --> 03:04:24,416
<i>Those initials are not on the three
cartridge cases,</i>

3842
03:04:24,500 --> 03:04:26,597
<i>which the Warren Commission
present to him.</i>

3843
03:04:26,957 --> 03:04:31,249
<i>As early as 12:44, only 14 minutes
after the assassination...</i>

3844
03:04:31,500 --> 03:04:34,665
<i>the police radio put out a description
matching Oswald's size</i>

3845
03:04:34,749 --> 03:04:36,207
<i>and build.</i>

3846
03:04:36,291 --> 03:04:39,332
<i>Oswald is next seen by a shoe salesman,
Johnny Brewer,</i>

3847
03:04:39,416 --> 03:04:41,458
<i>lurking along Jefferson Avenue.</i>

3848
03:04:41,999 --> 03:04:43,249
<i>Oswald is scared.</i>

3849
03:04:43,333 --> 03:04:46,458
<i>He begins to realize the full
implications of this thing.</i>

3850
03:04:46,832 --> 03:04:50,832
<i>He goes into the Texas Theatre,
possibly his prearranged meeting point,</i>

3851
03:04:50,916 --> 03:04:53,124
<i>but though he has 14 dollars
in his pocket...</i>

3852
03:04:53,458 --> 03:04:55,707
<i>he does not buy the 75-cent ticket.</i>

3853
03:04:55,832 --> 03:04:58,207
<i>And Brewer has the cashier
call the police.</i>

3854
03:04:58,291 --> 03:05:00,832
<i>In response to the cashier's call,</i>

3855
03:05:00,916 --> 03:05:03,665
<i>at least 30 officers in a fleet of
patrol cars</i>

3856
03:05:03,749 --> 03:05:05,540
<i>descend on the movie theater.</i>

3857
03:05:05,665 --> 03:05:09,207
<i>Now, this has to be the most remarkable
example of police intuition</i>

3858
03:05:09,291 --> 03:05:11,207
<i>since the Reichstag fire.</i>

3859
03:05:11,291 --> 03:05:14,540
<i>And I don't buy it. They knew.</i>

3860
03:05:14,624 --> 03:05:17,082
<i>Someone knew Oswald was
going to be there.</i>

3861
03:05:18,291 --> 03:05:20,416
<i>Brewer helpfully leads the cops
into the theater</i>

3862
03:05:20,500 --> 03:05:22,790
<i>and from the stage points Oswald out.</i>

3863
03:05:22,874 --> 03:05:23,749
There he is.

3864
03:05:36,041 --> 03:05:37,989
Sir, can I get you to stand up, please?

3865
03:05:38,124 --> 03:05:39,707
This is it!

3866
03:05:41,624 --> 03:05:43,333
Kill the president, will you?

3867
03:05:44,832 --> 03:05:46,916
I am not resisting arrest!

3868
03:05:47,166 --> 03:05:49,249
I am not resisting arrest!

3869
03:05:49,333 --> 03:05:51,082
The police have their man.

3870
03:05:51,624 --> 03:05:53,915
It's already been decided

3871
03:05:53,999 --> 03:05:54,957
in Washington.

3872
03:05:55,458 --> 03:05:58,082
<i>By the time he is brought out
from the theater,</i>

3873
03:05:58,166 --> 03:06:00,458
<i>a large crowd is waiting to scream
at him.</i>

3874
03:06:00,790 --> 03:06:04,457
<i>Lee Oswald must've felt like Josef K
in Kafka's</i> The Trial.

3875
03:06:04,540 --> 03:06:06,957
<i>He's never told the reasons
for his arrest,</i>

3876
03:06:07,041 --> 03:06:10,249
<i>he doesn't know the unseen forces
ranging against him.</i>

3877
03:06:10,500 --> 03:06:12,623
By the time he reached police
headquarters,

3878
03:06:12,707 --> 03:06:14,458
he is booked for murdering Tippit.

3879
03:06:14,582 --> 03:06:16,416
<i>No legal counsel is provided,</i>

3880
03:06:16,500 --> 03:06:18,832
<i>no record made of the long questioning.</i>

3881
03:06:18,916 --> 03:06:21,499
<i>By the time the sun rises
the next morning,</i>

3882
03:06:21,582 --> 03:06:23,874
<i>he is booked for murdering the president.</i>

3883
03:06:24,291 --> 03:06:26,665
<i>The whole country, fueled by the media,</i>

3884
03:06:26,749 --> 03:06:28,208
<i>assumes he is guilty.</i>

3885
03:06:29,041 --> 03:06:31,165
<i>Under the guise of a patriotic
nightclub owner</i>

3886
03:06:31,249 --> 03:06:35,207
<i>out to spare Jackie Kennedy
from having to testify at a trial,</i>

3887
03:06:35,291 --> 03:06:37,873
<i>Jack Ruby is shown into an
underground garage</i>

3888
03:06:37,957 --> 03:06:40,749
<i>by one of his inside men on the
Dallas police force...</i>

3889
03:06:41,665 --> 03:06:43,457
<i>and when he is ready, Lee Harvey Oswald</i>

3890
03:06:43,540 --> 03:06:45,706
<i>is brought out like a sacrificial lamb</i>

3891
03:06:45,790 --> 03:06:48,500
<i>and nicely disposed of,
as an enemy of the people.</i>

3892
03:06:48,624 --> 03:06:49,540
Oswald!

3893
03:07:07,458 --> 03:07:09,416
<i>Who grieves for Lee Harvey Oswald?</i>

3894
03:07:10,333 --> 03:07:13,208
Buried in a cheap grave under
the name "Oswald"?

3895
03:07:14,458 --> 03:07:15,916
<i>Nobody.</i>

3896
03:07:22,999 --> 03:07:23,998
<i>Within minutes,</i>

3897
03:07:24,082 --> 03:07:27,999
false statements and press leaks about
Lee Oswald circulate the globe.

3898
03:07:28,916 --> 03:07:32,113
<i>The Official Legend is created and
the media takes it from there.</i>

3899
03:07:33,665 --> 03:07:35,832
The glitter of official lies
and the epic splendor

3900
03:07:35,916 --> 03:07:37,873
of the thought-numbing funeral of JFK

3901
03:07:37,957 --> 03:07:41,166
confuse the eye and confound
the understanding.

3902
03:07:42,333 --> 03:07:44,290
Hitler always said

3903
03:07:44,374 --> 03:07:47,749
"the bigger the lie,
the more people will believe it."

3904
03:07:49,082 --> 03:07:52,457
Lee Harvey Oswald, a crazed, lonely man
who wanted attention

3905
03:07:52,540 --> 03:07:55,332
and got it by killing a president,
was only the first

3906
03:07:55,416 --> 03:07:57,166
in a long line of patsies.

3907
03:07:57,916 --> 03:07:59,915
In later years, Bobby Kennedy,

3908
03:07:59,999 --> 03:08:01,499
Martin Luther King, men whose

3909
03:08:01,582 --> 03:08:03,581
commitment to change and peace

3910
03:08:03,665 --> 03:08:07,312
would make them dangerous to men who
are committed to war, would follow...

3911
03:08:07,790 --> 03:08:10,665
also killed by such lonely, crazed men...

3912
03:08:11,665 --> 03:08:14,124
men who remove our guilt by making murder

3913
03:08:14,208 --> 03:08:16,041
a meaningless act of a loner.

3914
03:08:17,291 --> 03:08:19,249
We have all become Hamlets
in our country,

3915
03:08:19,333 --> 03:08:21,623
children of a slain father-leader,

3916
03:08:21,707 --> 03:08:23,832
whose killers still possess the throne.

3917
03:08:24,582 --> 03:08:28,290
The ghost of John F. Kennedy confronts us
with the secret murder

3918
03:08:28,374 --> 03:08:30,166
at the heart of the American dream.

3919
03:08:30,790 --> 03:08:33,040
He forces on us the appalling questions:

3920
03:08:33,124 --> 03:08:34,790
Of what is our Constitution made?

3921
03:08:35,874 --> 03:08:38,332
What is our citizenship, and more,
our lives worth?

3922
03:08:38,416 --> 03:08:40,416
What is the future of a democracy,

3923
03:08:40,500 --> 03:08:42,665
where a president can be
assassinated under

3924
03:08:42,749 --> 03:08:44,832
conspicuously suspicious circumstances,

3925
03:08:44,916 --> 03:08:47,790
while the machinery of legal action
scarcely trembles?

3926
03:08:49,208 --> 03:08:52,748
How many more political murders,
disguised as heart attacks,

3927
03:08:52,832 --> 03:08:53,998
suicides,

3928
03:08:54,082 --> 03:08:55,623
cancers, drug overdoses,

3929
03:08:55,707 --> 03:08:58,374
how many airplane
and car crashes will occur

3930
03:08:58,458 --> 03:09:00,665
before they are exposed for
what they are?

3931
03:09:02,665 --> 03:09:05,416
"Treason doth never prosper,"
wrote an English poet.

3932
03:09:06,500 --> 03:09:07,540
What's the reason?

3933
03:09:08,665 --> 03:09:10,963
Well, if it prosper,
none dare call it treason.

3934
03:09:12,166 --> 03:09:14,763
The American public has yet to see
the Zapruder film.

3935
03:09:15,665 --> 03:09:16,582
Why?

3936
03:09:17,291 --> 03:09:20,623
The American public has yet to see
the real X-rays and photographs

3937
03:09:20,707 --> 03:09:21,457
of the autopsy.

3938
03:09:21,540 --> 03:09:22,707
Why?

3939
03:09:23,540 --> 03:09:26,790
There are hundreds of documents that could
help prove this conspiracy.

3940
03:09:26,874 --> 03:09:29,749
Why are they being withheld or burned
by the government?

3941
03:09:30,999 --> 03:09:33,290
Each time my office, or you, the people,

3942
03:09:33,374 --> 03:09:35,748
have asked those questions,
demanded crucial evidence,

3943
03:09:35,832 --> 03:09:38,040
the answer from on high has always been

3944
03:09:38,124 --> 03:09:39,540
"national security."

3945
03:09:40,749 --> 03:09:42,623
What kind of "national security"
do we have

3946
03:09:42,707 --> 03:09:44,705
when we have been robbed of our leaders?

3947
03:09:45,416 --> 03:09:47,915
What "national security" permits
the removal

3948
03:09:47,999 --> 03:09:50,706
of fundamental power from the hands of
the American people

3949
03:09:50,790 --> 03:09:54,437
and validates the ascendancy of invisible
government in the United States?

3950
03:09:55,874 --> 03:09:57,290
That kind of "national security,"

3951
03:09:57,374 --> 03:09:59,332
gentlemen of the jury,
is when it smells like it,

3952
03:09:59,416 --> 03:10:01,333
feels like it, and looks like it...

3953
03:10:02,041 --> 03:10:03,582
you call it what it is.

3954
03:10:04,249 --> 03:10:05,500
Fascism.

3955
03:10:07,749 --> 03:10:09,957
I submit to you that what took place

3956
03:10:10,041 --> 03:10:12,748
on November 22nd, 1963

3957
03:10:12,832 --> 03:10:14,082
was a coup d'état.

3958
03:10:15,249 --> 03:10:17,706
Its most direct and tragic result

3959
03:10:17,790 --> 03:10:21,624
was a reversal of President Kennedy's
commitment to withdraw from Vietnam.

3960
03:10:23,082 --> 03:10:28,124
A war is the biggest business in America,
worth 80 billion dollars a year.

3961
03:10:28,999 --> 03:10:31,790
President Kennedy was murdered
by a conspiracy

3962
03:10:31,874 --> 03:10:34,915
that was planned in advance at
the highest levels of our government,

3963
03:10:34,999 --> 03:10:38,665
and it was carried out by fanatical
and disciplined Cold Warriors

3964
03:10:38,749 --> 03:10:42,207
in the Pentagon and CIA's covert
operations apparatus,

3965
03:10:42,291 --> 03:10:44,916
among them Clay Shaw here before you.

3966
03:10:45,707 --> 03:10:47,540
It was a public execution.

3967
03:10:47,624 --> 03:10:50,374
And it was covered up by
like-minded individuals

3968
03:10:50,458 --> 03:10:52,040
in the Dallas Police Department,

3969
03:10:52,124 --> 03:10:54,207
the Secret Service, the FBI,

3970
03:10:54,291 --> 03:10:56,290
and the White House, all the way up to

3971
03:10:56,374 --> 03:10:59,665
including J. Edgar Hoover and
Lyndon Johnson,

3972
03:10:59,749 --> 03:11:02,124
whom I consider accomplices
after the fact.

3973
03:11:02,790 --> 03:11:06,832
The assassination reduced the president
to a transient official.

3974
03:11:07,374 --> 03:11:08,998
His job, his assignment,

3975
03:11:09,082 --> 03:11:13,290
is to speak as often as possible of
this nation's desire for peace

3976
03:11:13,374 --> 03:11:16,040
while he acts as a business agent in
the Congress

3977
03:11:16,124 --> 03:11:18,571
for the military and their hardware
manufacturers.

3978
03:11:20,540 --> 03:11:22,582
Now, some people say I'm crazy.

3979
03:11:24,249 --> 03:11:27,416
Southern caricature seeking
higher office.

3980
03:11:29,291 --> 03:11:32,790
Well, there is a simple way to determine
if I am paranoid.

3981
03:11:32,874 --> 03:11:35,457
Let's ask the two men who have profited
the most from the assassination:

3982
03:11:35,540 --> 03:11:37,706
Your former president,
Lyndon Baines Johnson,

3983
03:11:37,790 --> 03:11:39,665
and your new president, Richard Nixon,

3984
03:11:39,749 --> 03:11:41,832
to release the 51 CIA documents

3985
03:11:41,916 --> 03:11:44,416
pertaining to Lee Harvey Oswald
and Jack Ruby.

3986
03:11:45,291 --> 03:11:47,040
Or the secret CIA memo

3987
03:11:47,124 --> 03:11:49,748
on Oswald's activities in Russia
that was destroyed

3988
03:11:49,832 --> 03:11:51,124
while being photocopied.

3989
03:11:51,665 --> 03:11:53,582
All these documents are yours...

3990
03:11:54,166 --> 03:11:56,416
the people's property.
You pay for it.

3991
03:11:57,500 --> 03:12:00,748
But because the government considers you
children who might be too disturbed

3992
03:12:00,832 --> 03:12:02,749
or distressed to face this reality...

3993
03:12:03,540 --> 03:12:06,333
or because you might possibly
lynch those involved...

3994
03:12:07,249 --> 03:12:10,416
you cannot see these documents for
another 75 years.

3995
03:12:11,374 --> 03:12:13,416
I'm in my early 40s...

3996
03:12:14,249 --> 03:12:17,290
so I'll have shuffled off this
mortal coil by then,

3997
03:12:17,374 --> 03:12:19,873
but I'm already telling my
eight-year-old son

3998
03:12:19,957 --> 03:12:21,832
to keep himself physically fit...

3999
03:12:22,582 --> 03:12:24,915
so that one glorious September morning

4000
03:12:24,999 --> 03:12:26,581
in the year 2038,

4001
03:12:26,665 --> 03:12:28,748
he can walk into the National Archives

4002
03:12:28,832 --> 03:12:31,916
and find out what the CIA
and the FBI knew!

4003
03:12:33,208 --> 03:12:34,623
They may even push it back, then.

4004
03:12:34,707 --> 03:12:36,915
Hell, it may become a
generational affair,

4005
03:12:36,999 --> 03:12:39,332
with questions passed down father to son,

4006
03:12:39,416 --> 03:12:40,540
mother to daughter.

4007
03:12:40,624 --> 03:12:42,540
That someday, somewhere

4008
03:12:42,624 --> 03:12:44,749
someone may find out the damn truth.

4009
03:12:45,500 --> 03:12:46,624
We better.

4010
03:12:47,790 --> 03:12:50,249
We better, or we might,
just as well, build ourselves

4011
03:12:50,333 --> 03:12:51,915
another government

4012
03:12:51,999 --> 03:12:54,290
like the Declaration
of Independence says to,

4013
03:12:54,374 --> 03:12:56,374
when the old one ain't working, just...

4014
03:12:56,458 --> 03:12:58,333
Just a little farther out West.

4015
03:12:59,999 --> 03:13:01,999
An American naturalist wrote:

4016
03:13:02,333 --> 03:13:05,333
"A patriot must always be ready to
defend his country...

4017
03:13:05,790 --> 03:13:07,124
against its government."

4018
03:13:09,291 --> 03:13:11,239
I would hate to be in your shoes today.

4019
03:13:12,166 --> 03:13:13,249
You have a lot to think about.

4020
03:13:13,333 --> 03:13:16,679
You've seen much hidden evidence
the American public has never seen.

4021
03:13:18,041 --> 03:13:20,389
You know, going back to when
we were children...

4022
03:13:21,333 --> 03:13:23,915
I think that most of us in this courtroom
thought that

4023
03:13:23,999 --> 03:13:26,208
justice came into being automatically...

4024
03:13:27,208 --> 03:13:28,957
that virtue was its own reward, that...

4025
03:13:29,041 --> 03:13:30,832
That good would triumph over evil.

4026
03:13:32,500 --> 03:13:35,166
But as we get older, we know this
just isn't true.

4027
03:13:36,249 --> 03:13:38,957
Individual human beings have to
create justice,

4028
03:13:39,041 --> 03:13:40,500
and this is not easy...

4029
03:13:41,790 --> 03:13:44,749
because the truth often poses
a threat to power...

4030
03:13:45,374 --> 03:13:48,582
and one often has to fight power at
great risk to themselves.

4031
03:13:49,082 --> 03:13:50,874
People like SM Holland...

4032
03:13:51,582 --> 03:13:52,790
Lee Bowers...

4033
03:13:53,416 --> 03:13:55,290
Jean Hill, Willie O'Keefe.

4034
03:13:55,374 --> 03:13:58,021
They've all taken that risk.
They've all come forward.

4035
03:13:59,082 --> 03:14:02,457
I have here some 8,000 dollars in
these letters sent...

4036
03:14:02,540 --> 03:14:04,832
Sent to my office from all over
the country.

4037
03:14:05,333 --> 03:14:08,581
Quarters, dimes, dollar bills from
housewives,

4038
03:14:08,665 --> 03:14:11,500
plumbers, car salesmen, teachers,
invalids.

4039
03:14:12,707 --> 03:14:16,124
These are people who cannot afford
to send money but do.

4040
03:14:16,957 --> 03:14:18,999
These are the ones who drive the cabs...

4041
03:14:19,624 --> 03:14:20,915
who nurse in the hospitals,

4042
03:14:20,999 --> 03:14:23,540
who see their kids go to Vietnam.

4043
03:14:24,999 --> 03:14:25,832
Why?

4044
03:14:27,500 --> 03:14:28,790
Because they care.

4045
03:14:29,916 --> 03:14:31,832
Because they want to know the truth.

4046
03:14:32,874 --> 03:14:34,832
Because they want their country back.

4047
03:14:34,916 --> 03:14:36,916
Because it still belongs to us...

4048
03:14:37,500 --> 03:14:40,946
as long as the people have the guts to
fight for what they believe in.

4049
03:14:43,874 --> 03:14:46,165
The truth is the most important
value we have

4050
03:14:46,249 --> 03:14:48,249
because if the truth does not endure...

4051
03:14:49,374 --> 03:14:51,082
if the government murders truth, if it...

4052
03:14:51,166 --> 03:14:54,165
If we cannot respect the hearts of
these people, then this is

4053
03:14:54,249 --> 03:14:56,790
not the country in which I was born in,
and it is certainly not

4054
03:14:56,874 --> 03:14:58,572
the country that I want to die in.

4055
03:15:00,208 --> 03:15:01,623
Tennyson wrote:

"Authority forgets a dying king."

03:15:05,707 --> 03:15:08,124
This was never more true than for
John F. Kennedy,

4058
03:15:08,208 --> 03:15:12,124
whose murder was probably
one of the most terrible moments

4059
03:15:12,208 --> 03:15:13,749
in the history of our country.

4060
03:15:16,957 --> 03:15:20,624
You the people, the jury system,
sitting in judgement on Clay Shaw...

4061
03:15:22,707 --> 03:15:24,457
represent the hope

4062
03:15:24,540 --> 03:15:27,041
of humanity against government power.

4063
03:15:28,333 --> 03:15:30,166
In discharging your duty...

4064
03:15:30,874 --> 03:15:32,499
in bringing the first conviction

4065
03:15:32,582 --> 03:15:34,374
in this house of cards

4066
03:15:34,458 --> 03:15:36,082
against Clay Shaw...

4067
03:15:36,790 --> 03:15:40,790
"Ask not what your country can do for you,
but what you can do for your country."

4068
03:15:41,999 --> 03:15:43,374
Do not forget...

4069
03:15:44,249 --> 03:15:45,790
your dying king.

4070
03:15:47,500 --> 03:15:48,832
Show this world...

4071
03:15:49,624 --> 03:15:52,832
that this is still a government of
the people, for the people...

4072
03:15:53,374 --> 03:15:54,624
and by the people.

4073
03:15:56,957 --> 03:15:58,915
Nothing, as long as you live,

4074
03:15:58,999 --> 03:16:00,665
will ever be more important.

4075
03:16:04,249 --> 03:16:05,665
It's up to you.

4076
03:16:28,707 --> 03:16:30,832
Has the jury reached a verdict?

4077
03:16:31,500 --> 03:16:32,790
Yes, we have, Your Honor.

4078
03:16:32,874 --> 03:16:35,124
Please hand the verdict to the clerk.

4079
03:16:44,874 --> 03:16:47,333
Will the defendant please rise?

4080
03:16:51,291 --> 03:16:53,458
The clerk will now read the verdict.

4081
03:16:54,291 --> 03:16:58,333
New Orleans, Louisiana.
March 1st, 1969.

4082
03:16:58,999 --> 03:17:02,457
We, the jury, find the defendant,
Clay Shaw,

4083
03:17:02,540 --> 03:17:04,208
not guilty.

4084
03:17:10,333 --> 03:17:12,081
- Thank you, thank you.
- Wonderful.

4085
03:17:14,249 --> 03:17:15,540
Congratulations!

4086
03:17:15,665 --> 03:17:17,264
We're gonna go fishing tomorrow!

4087
03:17:25,665 --> 03:17:27,124
We believe there was a conspiracy,

4088
03:17:27,208 --> 03:17:30,416
but whether Clay Shaw was a part of it
is another kettle of fish.

4089
03:17:30,500 --> 03:17:32,041
There's Jim! There's Jim!

4090
03:17:33,874 --> 03:17:36,457
Mr. Garrison, the American media
is reporting this

4091
03:17:36,540 --> 03:17:38,374
as a full vindication of the Warren
Commission.

4092
03:17:38,458 --> 03:17:39,749
Do you agree?

4093
03:17:41,041 --> 03:17:44,332
All I think it proves is you cannot
run an investigation,

4094
03:17:44,416 --> 03:17:47,873
in the light of day, even questioning
the intelligence operations

4095
03:17:47,957 --> 03:17:49,082
of the United States government.

4096
03:17:49,166 --> 03:17:50,540
We understand that the morning paper

4097
03:17:50,624 --> 03:17:52,998
will call for your resignation,
that you're unfit to hold office,

4098
03:17:53,082 --> 03:17:54,957
that you've ruined
Clay Shaw's reputation.

4099
03:17:55,041 --> 03:17:56,748
Mr. Garrison,
are you gonna resign?

4100
03:17:56,832 --> 03:17:57,748
Hell, no.

4101
03:17:57,832 --> 03:17:59,041
I'm gonna run again.

4102
03:17:59,500 --> 03:18:01,040
And I'm gonna win, thank you.

4103
03:18:01,124 --> 03:18:03,082
Who do you plan to
persecute next, Mr. Garrison?

4104
03:18:03,166 --> 03:18:05,748
If it takes me 30 years to nail
every one of the assassins,

4105
03:18:05,832 --> 03:18:08,832
then I will continue this
investigation for 30 years.

4106
03:18:09,458 --> 03:18:12,416
I owe that not only to Jack Kennedy,
but to the country.

4107
03:18:12,500 --> 03:18:14,832
Hey, there's Clay! There's Clay Shaw!

4108
03:18:14,916 --> 03:18:16,957
Mr. Shaw, how does it feel to be
acquitted?

4109
03:18:17,041 --> 03:18:18,873
It's been exhausting, I must say.

4110
03:18:18,957 --> 03:18:20,249
What will you do now,
Mr. Shaw?

4111
03:18:20,333 --> 03:18:22,331
I should go home and cook some étouffée.

4112
03:18:26,916 --> 03:18:28,873
Do you think Garrison
will be back for a second round?

4113
03:18:28,957 --> 03:18:30,124
I'm sure he will.

4113
03:18:31,305 --> 03:19:31,831
