JFK (1991) Thriller Edit

A big shot businessman. I seen him on the TV news...

A bullshit President!

A call is made. Maybe to someone like my superior officer General Y.

A confessed homosexual.

A considerable portion of the brain was missing.

A crank making calls. Happens a dozen times a day at the office.

A diversionary shot gets the Secret Service looking one way.

A few people on the inside. Pentagon, CIA.

A fifth or possibly a quarter of the back of the head had been blasted out...

A fine man.

A great day for this country.

A heroin addict injecting himself at the wall.

A lead says he's closely connected to these events...

A light blue Valiant.

A long freight was in there...

A lot of smoke, but some fire.

A Lt. Colonel testifies that...

A man called and asked her height, her weight

A man named Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested as a suspect...

A man shot the President!

A man with a similar name worked at the Chamber of Commerce.

A month before, in Dallas, UN Ambassador Adlai Stevenson was spit on and hit.

A patsy.

A policeman hit me.

A quiet little chat between gentlemen.

A Russian exam.

A second shot hit him in the face.

A secret Pentagon guy, supplying the hardware:

A single bullet must account for the seven wounds in Kennedy and Connally.

A source said he might have been a getaway pilot for Oswald.

A telex disappears from every FBI office in this country?

A third of a combat division was returning from Germany...

A very great actor has just given us a great performance.

Abraham Zapruder.

According to Baker, absolutely not.

Acquilla Clemons...

Address?

After a stint in the Marines...

After all, why would Oswald kill Officer Tippit...

After dinner, you paid him to have sex.

After extensive questioning and a background check...

After I came back...

After the arrest, 544 Camp St. never appeared on the pamphlets again.

Again and again credible testimony's ignored.

Again.

Agency plays for keeps.

Ain't nice, it says, we've spent over $8,000 on unexplained investigative expenses...

Ain't that the devil's piss!

All classified as secret on the grounds of national security.

All day the kids asked, "Where's Daddy?" What should I tell them?

All four of us railroad men...

All I know is he died suddenly. Just before the Warren Report came out.

All I know is sometimes he sends me some cases.

All I saw were the railroad workers and Dallas' finest.

All I wanted in the world...

All it takes is one Judas.

All our weapons!

All out of this office.

All rabid anti Communists.

All right, Willie. Thanks.

All Secret Servicemen in Dallas are accounted for.

All this blubbering over that no count son of a bitch!

All those important people studied it.

All under the control of General Y.

All worked for the CIA.

Alongside his beautiful and elegant wife, Jacqueline Bouvier...

Always some harebrained scheme.

Am I?

Among them, Clay Shaw, here before you.

An American naturalist wrote:

An identical bullet...

An inspired act of God should happen here and put a Texan in the White House!

An intuition, maybe. The President killed in spite of his warning.

An office building, a high powered rifle.

And he appears on a local TV debate.

And I am not going along on this one.

And I won't live to see you some other time.

And if there was a second rifleman...

And it is the best indication of a massive plot in Dallas.

And leave two unsigned suicide notes?

And now King. Don't you think this has something to do with that?

And once you conclude...

And Oswald. Army Intell had a Lee Harvey Oswald on file.

And that last shot...

And that Ruby knew Oswald for years.

And the first would be the best.

And the sheriff's report...

And the truth is on your side, bubba.

And then...

And there's his old buddy Miguel Torres.

And they defrocked me!

And they say that this...

And though no one saw him walking...

And we are all mortal.

And we used those guys against the Communists.

And we would not ask questions or attack Jim Garrison.

And what once looked normal seems insane.

And when you are called to look at the wounds of the dead President...

And you, Miss Cox. It's been most pleasant.

Andrews has been convicted of perjury on this matter.

Another nut. Jesus Christ, anybody can get a rifle in Texas!

Any aliases?

Any more on Oswald or Shaw?

Anybody want to quit?

Anyone else?

Anything more specific, Jack?

Anything new?

Anything on the hoboes?

Anything to say in your defense?

Anything unusual about him...

Are we going away, Daddy?

Are you giving me an ultimatum?

Are you going to resign?

Are you kidding?

Are you?

Around 12:15, leaving the building to see the motorcade...

Around this time, another shot misses the car completely...

As a pathologist, it was your obligation to explore...

As a result, the peace summit between Khrushchev and Eisenhower failed.

As early as 12:44, only 14 minutes after the assassination...

As far as Oswald's associates, one name keeps popping up: David Ferrie.

As I recall, Admiral Kenney, Navy Surgeon General...

As you know, President Kennedy was assassinated on Friday.

Ask the question.

Ask the two men who profited most from the assassination...

At 12:34 p. m, the Washington telephone system went out for an hour.

At least we'll strike the first blow.

At police headquarters, he was booked for murdering Tippit.

At that moment, second Oswalds pop up all over Dallas...

At the age of 24...

At the same time, Bonnie Ray Williams is supposedly eating lunch in the sixth floor.

At the scene, Officer Poe marks his initials on the shells...

B team, one rifleman and one spotter with access to the building...

Back, and to the left.

Back, and to the left.

Back, and to the left.

Banister has someone using the name Oswald to buy the trucks.

Banister's office was part of the supply line...

Barely conscious of his surroundings.

Bastard should've been prosecuted as a traitor when he got off the boat.

Be still my heart.

Bear in mind, this may affect the rest of your careers, your lives.

Because he was a Communist.

Because it still belongs to us...

Because they care.

Because they want their country back.

Because they want to know the truth.

Because when a coup d'état has occurred...

Been too busy. Elected men can't have as much fun as they used to.

Before this Kennedy thing, your children mattered most.

Bell was nearly bankrupt when First National Bank of Boston asked the CIA...

Bertrand is not Shaw, scout's honor. And you can tell him I said so.

Beverly, tell Mr. Garrison about the Carousel Club.

Big Jim gave strict orders. No FBl.

Big money.

Big money. $100 billion.

Big. White hair.

Bill doesn't scare that easy. Somebody got to his thinking.

Bill Williams has links to the CIA through his family...

Bill, what the hell are you doing here?

Bill's convenient separation from Janet allows Marina to move into her house...

Black Ops. Assassinations. Coups d'etat...

Black Ops. People in my business. My superior might call Col. Reich and say:

Black. Give it to me.

Black. My neck is killing me.

Blood transfusions are being given. A priest has administered the last rites.

Boom! Get the kill shot.

Boss, are you calling the President a murderer?

Boss, aren't you being a little hard?

Boss, I'm sorry. I'm just looking out for you.

Boss'd fry me in hog fat if he knew I talked to you.

Boss's got a problem. Real serious.

Both brothers?

Boys said they didn't get any.

Brewer leads the cops into the theater...

Bring back memories of Willie O'Keefe?

Bring them on. Bring their college degrees in here, I got nothing to hide.

Bullshit!

Businessmen, politicians from Austin, LBJ's friends

But all that ended on the 22nd of November, 1963.

But already their papers had the entire history...

But as a covert operator...

But as the government sees you as children...

But as we get older we know this isn't true.

But he never does any propaganda for the Russians.

But he'd contacted them already...

But he's lying through his teeth. I won't let go of him.

But he's stationed at a top secret air base in Japan...

But I treated him good.

But I'm telling my eight year old son to keep himself physically fit...

But if you let yourself be too scared...

But in November, a week after the murder of Vietnamese President Diem...

But it's difficult to know. What're you thinking?

But it's even spookier than we thought.

But Jack was exciting. There were always cops there.

But none of this happened. It violated our most basic protection codes.

But one of the results was...

But somebody's got to try, goddamn it!

But someday, somewhere, someone may find out the damn truth.

But the FBI test fired the rifle to see if it could be done.

But the phone call never came.

But then the body was illegally moved to Washington for the autopsy.

But there may be a high level of iodine in the spinal fluid.

But they weren't protecting clients.

But this conversation is best kept out of the everyday bustle of this office.

But three cars came in during this time...

But use your eyes, your common sense.

But we are nowhere closer to the truth.

But what if the note described the assassination attempt on JFK?

But who was impersonating them?

But why was he appointed to investigate Kennedy's death? The man who fired him.

But you couldn't approach them. They're wise.

But you were a qualified pathologist. Was the Army General?

Buying ammunition, getting a telescopic sight fixed.

By coincidence, Banister, before he was FBl, was ONl.

By the time it reached shore...

Cabell was his Deputy for nine years.

Call him Oswald's handler.

Calm down.

Camelot in smithereens.

Can you ascertain if there's Proloid in his system?

Can you get some sworn statements?

Can you take me with you?

Can't imagine where.

Can't remember his name, but Oswald was with him.

Can't. If I go to him our investigation will hit the front pages.

Castro being assassinated by the mob by us...

Castro is a successful revolutionary...

Castro was almost with us till we tried to whack him.

CBS News projects Sen. Robert Kennedy...

Champagne?

Charles Brehm, a combat vet.

Check out Eladio del Valle.

Check out his record. Find any friends or associates from last summer.

Check them out. Here, in Miami. Dallas.

Check with him. Have a nice vacation.

Chief, maybe you had too much to drink.

Cigarette butts.

Clay Bertrand is Clay Shaw?

Clay Bertrand is Clay Shaw.

Clay Bertrand.

Clay Bertrand.

Clay Bertrand.

Clay Shaw is important.

Clay Shaw.

Clay something.

Clear the door! Watch out! Move!

Col. Finck, are you saying someone told you not to dissect the neck?

Come hunt for Easter eggs.

Come on in.

Come on, think!

Comes to the Quarter.

Communist, Marxist Leninist, what's the difference?

Congratulations. You're Page One.

Connally yells, "My God! They're going to kill us all! "

Connally, you will notice, shows no sign of being hit.

Connally's head turns slightly to the right.

Consequently, a whole new form of government will take over.

Convicted of pandering and soliciting.

Cops back then, they were bad.

Could the mob change the parade route?

Could the mob send Oswald to Russia and get him back?

Cuban. Friends who'd done stuff in the bush with him. Place was a mess.

Cubans coming, going. And Christ, they all looked the same to me.

Cubans or right wing extremists.

Daddy loves you both.

Daddy never keeps his promises.

Daddy said it's okay if I'm quiet.

Dallas Times Herald photographer got great shots.

Dallas was a slowpokin' town then.

Damn! Wait a minute!

Dave Ferrie took me there expressly to meet him.

Dave Ferrie's dead.

Dave pulled out some clippings.

Dave's mind was a mess. He had caged mice...

David Ferrie.

Defendant didn't have his lawyer present.

Defense contractors, oil bankers. Just conversation.

DeMohrenschildt draws a picture of Oswald as an intellectual...

Deputy director of the CIA.

Despite the fact he has no license, and doesn't know how to drive...

Did he pay you?

Did you bag any?

Did you enter Virginia in a beauty contest?

Did you ever once stop to consider his feelings?

Did your office plant that garbage in the paper?

Didn't Hoover say something about leaves falling in November?

Didn't know shit, anyway.

Didn't the Warren Commission call him?

Different addresses, different entrances, both going to the same place...

Dig, you're the only one to bring a trial in Kennedy's murder.

Dinner's just about ready.

District Attorney Garrison to see Prisoner 5388.

Do I have to spell it out for you?

Do I have to spell it out for you?

Do not forget...

Do you agree that this is a full vindication of the Warren Commission?

Do you have a response?

Do you have rifles in there?

Do you mean some transients?

Do you remember my orders about passing on rumors...

Do you think we're nuts? It's been a zoo since that broke.

Do you want to watch TV? Are you all right?

Doctor Peters.

Does he have any problems with Uncle Sam?

Does it matter who shot...

Doesn't add up.

Domingo Benevides...

Don't get me started on that.

Don't get me wrong. He's not one of those limp wrists.

Don't get sidetracked. How'd he get back to the States?

Don't leave me here!

Don't let him in.

Don't matter to me!

Don't take my word for it. Do your own thinking.

Don't tell me you don't remember.

Don't think that I don't.

Don't underestimate the budget cuts that Kennedy called for in March of 1963.

Don't worry. There's only 20 or 30 million people watching this tonight.

Don't you love us anymore?

Dozens of witnesses heard the shots...

Dumb question. Put your hands down.

Each of these key witnesses has no doubt whatsoever...

Earlene Roberts, the housekeeper, heard two beeps on a car horn.

Early for Mardi Gras, isn't it?

Early November, at a downtown Dallas Lincoln dealership...

Early that fateful summer...

Eisenhower always rode in open top.

Either they told him they'd close down the plotters...

Either we pull out now or we go through heavy flak together.

Either you give the grand jury Clay Bertrand's real identity...

Especially in the homosexual underworld.

Even if we hadn't let him ride with the bubble top off...

Ever use any aliases?

Every degree of mind and spirit that I possess will be devoted...

Every time he goes over to Saigon for a fact finding mission...

Everybody came.

Everybody in the power structure...

Everybody. The Agency, mob, Cubans.

Everyone in those days knew Jack was in the mob.

Everything is cellularized.

Everything was just frozen.

Ex FBI man. Died a couple of years ago.

Except for one man.

Except to say you're close.

Exception taken. That case is on appeal.

False statements and press leaks about Oswald circulate the globe.

Fascism!

FBI didn't find a goddamn thing.

FBI tried two sets of tests.

Ferrie did a lot of the training.

Ferrie strike you as the kind of person with a low metabolism?

Ferrie was the only one to express any kind of remorse about the whole thing.

Ferrie's friend, Eladio del Valle, was found...

Fifty fake business fronts to launder money.

Fifty one witnesses thought they heard shots from the grassy knoll...

Finally they left and I was alone with Dave...

Find Clay Bertrand. Start by checking around the Quarter.

Find out the defense budget since the war began. $75 going on $100 billion.

Fine.

First time a DA can't get a tax record.

First, we heard that Cuban exiles killed the President.

Five bullets, one blank. No one's guilty.

Follow the Cubans.

For God's sake, the President was shot.

For the first time...

For the head shot.

Found another note. Same thing. No name. No signature.

Found his body in his apartment two hours ago.

Frame 161, Kennedy stops waving as he hears something.

Frame 193, the second shot hits Kennedy in the throat from the front.

Frame 225, Kennedy emerges from behind the road sign.

Frame 238. The fourth shot.

Frame 313, takes Kennedy in the head from the front.

Frank, you're wasting your time here.

Friday.

From Dallas...

From here on...

From this meeting...

Frontal shot. Flat, low trajectory.

Ft. Jefferson, Bayou Bluff, Morgan City, you name it.

Fuck!

Fucking out of control. All these hippies running around on drugs.

Gave me his grammar school records. It's a study of his pubic hairs.

General Dynamics of Fort Worth, Texas. Who owns that?

General Y flies in the assassins.

Gentlemen, I am not going to let Vietnam go like China did.

Gentlemen, will you please rise and follow me.

Get a hold of yourself!

Get a receipt.

Get her out of here.

Get in the car.

Get the FBl, the CIA and the Dallas Police to mess up the investigation?

Get the Warren Commission appointed to cover it up?

Getting angry doesn't accomplish a damn thing.

Getting every crazed Klansman after us!

Give him a medal for shooting Kennedy!

Glad you came.

Go back to Moscow!

Go on.

Go.

Goddamn it! We've got one of them.

Goddamn peace treaties!

Goddamn.

Goes by another name.

Goes to show you can never know about some people. Am I right, Jack?

Going to rifle ranges.

Goodbye, ladies and gentlemen.

Got a surprise for you tonight. Tried something new.

Got canned after an alleged homosexual incident.

Got his hand on the chicken switch.

Got the Dalai Lama out. We were good.

Graveyard. Dead. August this year.

Grimy young hoodlums who will say and do anything!

Guess who used it?

Guy who ran the International Trade Mart?

Hardly, I'd say the opposite. Maybe hypertension.

Has affairs with local girls.

Has he ignored the Mafia connections to this conspiracy...

Has the jury reached a verdict?

Have you ever been a contract agent for the CIA?

Have you ever met David Ferrie?

Have you ever met Lee Harvey Oswald?

Haven't seen you much lately.

He buys a Coke...

He came to me bawling his eyes out.

He can't afford to implement it before the election.

He can't go down any further. We must protect him full time.

He did so much for this country, for colored people. Why?

He didn't look like he had any money, and he was in a bad mood.

He disappears for six weeks, presumably with the KGB.

He doesn't know the unseen forces ranging against him.

He dropped Oswald off on the voter's line.

He flopped over on his stomach...

He gave TFX fighter contracts only to those counties that will matter in '64.

He gives me the willies.

He goes to the Texas Theater, possibly a prearranged meeting point.

He good man. Good husband.

He got only two more Russian words right than wrong.

He had a violent temper.

He had on a sports shirt and pants, but he had dirty fingernails.

He had something to do with money, because Banister never kissed ass...

He headed the Chicago office. When he retired he became a private eye here.

He is 35 years older than Oswald, who is only 23 and supposedly broke.

He is a part of the Dallas Petroleum Club, speaks five languages...

He keeps changing his story. We can't call him to a grand jury.

He meets Marina.

He no shoot anyone.

He practically lived there.

He privately claims the CIA lied to him...

He produced credentials showing him to be Secret Service.

He promised those motherfuckers too much!

He puts on his jacket, grabs his. 38 revolver...

He refused to invade Cuba in 1962.

He said he was a representative of Warren International Trade Mart.

He said he'd be cut loose if he copped to the DA's office.

He seeks the truth. So do we.

He seems pretty cool for a man under pressure.

He sees nobody.

He sends Connally's bloody suit to the cleaners.

He served in your Civil Air Patrol unit when he was a teenager.

He set out to withdraw from Vietnam.

He shot him on TV!

He signed a treaty to ban nuclear testing.

He spent last summer in New Orleans and was arrested...

He started in on Kennedy again.

He told McNamara he would pull out the goddamn advisors!

He told me...

He told the FBl, "Shut up the camp.

He took the rules of covert warfare he'd used abroad...

He wanted to be a priest. They defrocked him 'cause he was queer.

He wanted to call off the moon race and cooperate with the Soviets.

He was a foot soldier.

He was a wannabe. No one liked him. Thought he was a snitch.

He was an intelligence agent for our government and remained one till he died.

He was arrested for fighting with anti Castro Cubans.

He was by himself as usual, appeared to be having lunch.

He was his brother.

He was in a booth on the right side of the room.

He was in military intelligence, that's why he was trained in Russian.

He was in the Warren Report. He got Oswald a lawyer.

He was my paymaster when I flew missions into Cuba.

He was running his camp north of Lake Pontchartrain.

He was told to be at the Book Depository that day...

He was tortured, shot point blank in the heart, his skull split open with an ax.

He was totally sane when we took his affidavit.

He was under orders.

He wasn't very handsome.

He wasted a month trying to prove...

He'd been obsessed with Castro and Kennedy for months.

He'd die quickly. A heart storm or a ruptured blood vessel in the brain.

He'd have about as much use for Russian as a cat has for pajamas.

He'll keep deteriorating. We'll get more out of him when he cracks.

He'll never make it.

He'll use them, too.

He's a butch John. Meet him on the street, you'd never snap.

He's been fighting us.

He's been in trouble before. He was a hot shot pilot for Eastern Airlines.

He's coming soon.

He's discharged...

He's done so much for the city, restoring the Quarter.

He's given 5,000 rubles, a roomy apartment with a balcony.

He's never given reasons for his arrest.

He's never investigated or charged for revealing classified information...

He's not in. Can someone else help you?

He's sorry he's late, but he promised he'd be here.

He's taken to a radio factory in Minsk...

He's there until 12:15, maybe 12:20.

Headed the Anti Communist League of the Caribbean.

Hell, Guy's dead, so it don't matter no more. It was all about those...

Hell, no! I'm going to run again, and I'm going to win!

Hello, is this Jim Garrison's daughter?

Help!

Her uncle is a colonel in Soviet intelligence.

Here he comes!

Here's to the New Frontier.

His boss was the one on the Warren Commission...

His closest friend is an oilman, named George DeMohrenschildt.

His ear blew off and he turned real white.

His job is to speak as often as possible of the nation's desire for peace...

His real name's Frankie Jenkins, but it would be so uncouth during dinner...

Hoffa, Trafficante, Marcello, they hire some guns and do Kennedy.

Hold that thought.

Hold your horses.

Honorable Judge Edward A. Haggerty, Jr. presiding. Be seated.

Hoover at the FBI has a memo dated June of 1960...

Hope to start...

Hope you like squab.

Hosty tore it up and flushed it down the toilet.

How are you? Nice to see you.

How could I?

How do we know that?

How do you know who your daddy is? 'Cause your mama told you so.

How many corpses do you need to figure out what's going on?

How many men?

How many more political murders disguised as heart attacks...

How many plane and car crashes will occur...

How the hell can you keep a conspiracy going...

How was your mousse?

How you doing?

How'd so many people keep such a secret?

How'd you find out David Ferrie drove to Texas that day?

Hundreds of documents could help prove this conspiracy.

Hunters.

I ain't cooperating with no one!

I always lock my files!

I am not resisting arrest! I am not resisting arrest!

I am?

I am.

I beat them all. Am I communicating with you?

I believe Oswald sent information through Hosty.

I call him Smedley.

I call them as I see them!

I can give you the background. You find the foreground, the little things.

I can only say I'm sorry. I just don't have rabbits on my mind.

I can't believe a man as intelligent as Earl Warren read those volumes.

I can't believe it, Mr. Banister, Oswald is down on Canal Street...

I can't believe it. An experienced police captain and a crowd of FBI agents...

I can't believe they killed him because he wanted to change things.

I can't believe you're saying this!

I can't figure out why he orders a traceable weapon...

I can't pull the teams to watch Ferrie. I promised him!

I can't remember last night, let alone three years ago, Boss.

I cannot fight you and the whole world too!

I checked it out and found that someone...

I congratulate Mr. Shaw. Most defendants must wait for trial...

I could give you a false name, but I won't. Call me "X."

I couldn't be more serious, Jack.

I did. We sang together at the Royal Orleans, remember?

I didn't say that.

I didn't speak to him, but I recognized him clearly.

I didn't talk to nobody. I was on drugs at the hospital.

I didn't think much about it then. It's just bullshit.

I do request someone to come forward...

I do.

I don't appreciate you dumping this paranoid garbage on me...

I don't buy it!

I don't buy it.

I don't care about Oswald.

I don't doubt their involvement at a low level.

I don't have much of a case.

I don't know that name.

I don't know what I am charged with...

I don't know who or why.

I don't know, Jasper.

I don't know!

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't like it when you and Mommy fight.

I don't remember his name.

I don't remember the other guy's name.

I don't see any violence. Heart attack, maybe an aneurysm. Natural causes.

I don't think so.

I don't understand.

I doubt this Attorney General would qualify for my staff.

I enjoyed meeting with you.

I expected that two months ago. They're wasting their time.

I extend to you and your families my best wishes for a happy Easter.

I found Clay Bertrand.

I get out of here, I'll come see you. We can have fun!

I go about my business, make money, help society the best I can...

I got confused.

I got nothing but time.

I got something to show you.

I guess I am.

I had a life too, you know!

I had the cause of death.

I had...

I hadn't been ice skating lately. Some young friends and I...

I hate to get him dragged into this.

I hate to think they blame it on silly, fucking Oswald.

I have here some $8,000 in these letters...

I have to go away. Just for a short while.

I have too much facts...

I haven't slept since that article.

I haven't yet.

I hear the NSC meeting was a real barn burner.

I heard Dr. Humes stating...

I heard shots from over there.

I heard the report and saw smoke, six or eight feet above the ground.

I helped evacuate part of Nazi intelligence at the end of the war.

I just don't know who to trust anymore.

I just don't know.

I just don't want to do it. Now, what else?

I just handled their private eye work as it came in for Guy.

I just hope it was worth my while, Mr...?

I just stood there watching.

I just want to raise our children and live a normal life.

I keep thinking about that Tuesday...

I knew Allen Dulles well. I often briefed him in his house.

I knew something was crooked as a dog's hind leg.

I know nothing more than that.

I know what you're going through with Ferrie.

I know you know who Clay Bertrand is. Stop eating that crabmeat and listen.

I looked up and saw smoke coming from over there, on the knoll.

I love Lee...

I made it clear to the Warren people.

I may not remember a name, but I always remember a face.

I mean, we got leaks everywhere.

I met him sometime in...

I must ask the jury to leave the court.

I need clarification about the night Guy Banister beat you over the head.

I need more men. I got to get him in.

I never believed it.

I never realized Kennedy was so dangerous to the establishment.

I never saw him before in my life.

I never thought for a second I was.

I never thought it'd come to this.

I often have a friend sit at one end while I sit at the other.

I owe that to Jack Kennedy and the country.

I really don't know...

I recognized him and I told them so.

I remember 'cause they were the only white strangers around that day.

I remember Ferrie speaking at a meeting of some veterans' group...

I remember him because of his limp.

I remember now. I'm sorry.

I remember. You make quite an impression.

I respect this country's institutions!

I said to my family, "That's the man I saw in the truck. "

I said, Oswald must've flipped.

I saw a girl the other day. Pregnant. You could see her whole belly.

I saw a man run from the fence toward those railroad cars.

I saw him in the office once. He looked out of place.

I saw this one man running from the corner of the Book Depository...

I sealed off the area and held off the trains till they could be examined.

I seen his face when it hit.

I sent him up for burglary.

I should show you some pictures so you can understand...

I shouldn't talk about it.

I sometimes think things have gone downhill since Kennedy died.

I spent much of September of '63...

I stepped down to the curb and yelled:

I submit to you that what took place on November 22, 1963...

I suppose I could use a pot of hot coffee and a few packs of Luckys.

I think he's doing a pretty good job. If he succeeds, in my opinion...

I think he's given everything we've got to the feds.

I think it would be apparent to anyone...

I think the point of the Mexican episode was to lay the blame on Fidel Castro.

I think you'll find it interesting.

I thought a motorcycle had backfired. I looked to my left.

I thought I was shooting at that son of a bitch Kennedy.

I thought maybe our guys had shot back and got one of them.

I thought we were on the same side.

I told that Bertrand cat right off this ain't my scene.

I told the FBI that call was a figment of my imagination.

I told you I was talking to Shaw.

I took it once for a low thyroid condition.

I took nine judges on here in New Orleans.

I took this picture to two experts.

I understand the pressure you're under.

I used to have lunch with him. John Birch Society, Minutemen.

I want a Shirley Temple!

I want an answer! Did you plant it?

I want my life back!

I want to show you something.

I want to tell the truth.

I want your pictures.

I was a soldier, Mr. Garrison. Two wars.

I was driving on Elm Street toward the underpass in a rented car.

I was never part of the operation.

I was on my way back, in New Zealand...

I was sent by my superior, we'll call him "Y"...

I was standing next to Mary Moorman, who took the photo when he was killed.

I was told the family wanted the examination of the head.

I wasn't hard to find, wearing that red raincoat.

I will kill! In the White House! Stab him in the heart!

I wish to renounce my citizenship...

I won't confirm, deny nor discuss, Sharon.

I won't have any ultimatum put to me, Lou. I'll accept your resignation.

I wondered if it could've been because...

I would say that he is the killer...

I wouldn't believe anything Habighorst said anyway.

I wouldn't have missed it for the world. Heads will roll. Hear about Lemnitzer?

I'd hate to be in your shoes today.

I'd love you to go on the record, but I'm in no hurry.

I'd say he got intelligence training.

I'll come to that later.

I'll do the dishes. You take Eb up.

I'll drink to that.

I'll fucking die!

I'll get it.

I'll go you one better. Maybe Oswald...

I'll make speeches where I can and make additional money.

I'll never forget that day. There was a lot of traffic...

I'll take them to my mother's. You spend a week.

I'm a pilot myself. Flew grasshoppers for the field artillery in the war.

I'm already in jail.

I'm an international businessman. The Trade Mart I founded...

I'm ashamed to be an American today.

I'm aware of our friendship, but I'll call you before the grand jury.

I'm coming to Washington!

I'm committed...

I'm giving this office $6,000 from my National Guard savings account.

I'm going home and cook some étouffée.

I'm going home to get a decent day's work done.

I'm going. I've got to get home, Chief.

I'm just a patsy!

I'm just unable to describe...

I'm leaving you!

I'm not with the Agency, Mr. Garrison.

I'm one of fucking Garrison's suspects. I can't go home!

I'm onto Ferrie's Cuban paymaster, Eladio del Valle.

I'm Oswald.

I'm scared.

I'm so fucking exhausted, I can't see straight.

I'm sorry about the other day. I didn't mean to walk out on you like that.

I'm sorry to interrupt this holiday.

I'm sorry, buddy.

I'm sorry, the meeting took much longer than expected.

I'm sorry, these pictures can't be shown on TV.

I'm sorry.

I'm sure.

I'm taking the kids and I'm leaving! I can't stand it anymore!

I'm talking to Clay Shaw this morning.

I'm well aware of that asinine article. I'm thinking of suing that rag.

I've already been warned by the Agency, so, if this is another threat

I've had my doubts all along about Bill.

I've heard you're a first rate pilot.

I've never met anyone named Oswald. Anyone who told you that has to be crazy.

I've never met anyone of such bizarre appearance.

I've seen a lot of strange things here.

I've seen enough here this summer to write a book.

I've spent half my life in the military...

If a window went up, they'd have been on the radio!

If a woman's a prostitute, must she also have bad eyesight?

If he wins, they'll kill him. He'll stop the war.

If I answer that question you keep asking...

If I handled a minor felon that way, it'd be all over the papers.

If I was investigating the case, I'd round up 100 of the world's best riflemen...

If I'm so far from the truth, why is the FBI bugging our offices?

If it comes out, there'll be a war.

If it takes me 30 years to nail every one of the assassins...

If it was a threat like Hosty said, they would have kept it.

If it's a suicide, I've seen weirder.

If it's planned right, no problem. They got close to De Gaulle.

If Oswald was the assassin, he was nonchalant about moving into position.

If Oswald, or someone purporting to be Oswald...

If that's what you want to call it.

If the FBI did investigate him, why is his name not mentioned...

If they can kill the President of the United States...

If this is Oswald, it must be our third Oswald.

If we call him in now he might freeze up, we'll lose our best shot.

If we wait, he won't hold on.

If you could see it that way, you'd see your life is fucked too.

If you don't want to support me, fine.

If you got a brain in your thick skull, listen to me. Listen real hard.

If you request that I go to Washington...

If you want to hit me, hit me.

If you've come this far, what I have to say interests you.

Implicating him with the rifle and the gun.

Impossible shot, so they change the parade route.

Impossible!

In 1949, it was $10 billion.

In 1961...

In a court of law, we hope to get Clay Shaw for conspiracy.

In all my years in the military, I never knew a single man who had a Russian test.

In Dallas, Texas, three shots were fired...

In Dallas. Five minutes ago.

In discharging your duty...

In fact I admired Kennedy. Man of true panache.

In heavy fighting in Vietnam today...

In Italy, '48, we stole the elections.

In jail, Oswald has a private session...

In later years, Bobby Kennedy, Martin Luther King...

In October, 1962...

In response to that call...

In that case, let me sum it up for you.

In that document...

In the commotion, the job gets done.

In the court of public opinion, it could take another 25, 30 years...

In the fall. Probably in the South.

In the middle of Easter Sunday?

In the morning, we went goose hunting.

In the wind.

In them, Kennedy told Gen. Lemnitzer, chairman of the Joint Chiefs...

In Washington, rumors abound that JFK has cut a secret deal...

In World War ll, I was in Romania, Greece, Yugoslavia.

Incredible.

Individual human beings have to create justice, and this is not easy...

Industrial sabotage, crop burning, etc.

Is a government worth preserving when it lies to the people?

Is Dave in there?

Is he guilty? Does he walk out the nearest staircase?

Is he out of breath?

Is it also true that you fingerprinted her when she returned?

Is it such a chore?

Is that why?

Is there anyone besides Lee Harvey Oswald...

Is there anything else you told us...

Is this an ultimatum?

Is this man an employee?

Is this man an employee?

Isn't it difficult to hunt geese without a shotgun?

Isn't the Kennedy assassination a bit out of your domain?

Isn't this a strange place...

It also says this company is linked to the Schlumberger Tool Company...

It also says you argued about the phone bill. Look!

It could be blamed on Castro, the country will want to invade Cuba.

It could have been Ferrie, Martin, Andrews, any of them.

It could've been taken at the morgue. There's no chain of evidence.

It doesn't make sense. Would a man afraid of dying...

It doesn't replace a husband or a father on Easter Sunday.

It figures with that polecat Lyndon in the White House.

It indicates that the age of innocence is not yet over.

It is not our business to discuss this with anyone outside this room.

It may become a generational affair. Questions passed from parent to child.

It means a great deal to me.

It means we'll have to subpoena Time Life.

It misses Kennedy and takes Connally in the back.

It only proves you cannot run an investigation...

It scared President Kennedy, and he was a brave man.

It sheds its leaves in early March.

It takes a minimum of...

It then moves upwards to leave Kennedy's body from the front of his neck...

It was a nuthouse.

It was a public execution, and it was covered up by...

It was a real swinging spot in town.

It was a white Chevrolet four door Impala.

It was about 11:00 a. m.

It was him I chased up the grassy knoll.

It was quite crowded.

It was secretly based at Miami University...

It was Texas live oak, Chief.

It was very noticeable because it had one wheel up on the curb.

It will be headed by Chief Justice Earl Warren...

It won't be long. That fucker will get what he deserves.

It'll blow up in our face. Susie, what did you find on Oswald?

It's a means to an end.

It's a mess down there, Jim.

It's a mystery wrapped in a riddle inside an enigma!

It's a rhino in a cage.

It's about our kids growing up in a shithole of lies. I'm angry!

It's all right.

It's already been decided in Washington.

It's also a useful conclusion.

It's always nice to see you. Pleasure to serve you always.

It's duly noted.

It's fun and games.

It's going to be a turkey shoot.

It's going to get worse!

It's my duty to inform you...

It's not about our well being, our two cars, our TVs and your kitchen!

It's not constitutionally required that a lawyer be present!

It's not the same time.

It's odd.

It's okay, Delphine, he's with us.

It's precisely the point of a long dining table.

It's standard booking procedure to ask an alias!

It's standard procedure, especially in a known hostile city like Dallas...

It's the Fair Play for Cuba Committee.

It's their war. They're the ones who have to win it or lose it.

It's through Janet Williams, in October '63, that Lee gets the job...

It's time we made room for someone else's ideas, including me.

It's unbelievable. I'm sorry.

It's up to you.

It's wrong. This is crazy!

It's you I want to talk to.

Its most direct and tragic result...

Jack introduced me to two guys. He says, "This is my friend, Lee... "

Jack Ruby's been in a Dallas jail cell for three years. Maybe he'll crack.

January, 1961.

Jim, bad news, Bill's turned.

John Powell, a prisoner on the sixth floor of the county jail, sees them.

Johnson got $1 billion for his friends, Brown and Root...

Join the rest! They'll say I'm crazy.

Joins the Marines at 17.

Julius Caesar?

Just a bit farther out West.

Just get me elected, I'll give you the damn war.

Just start without me.

Just talk to us on the record. We'll protect you.

Keep that table open for us.

Kennedy also finds himself embroiled in Laos and Vietnam.

Kennedy announces the Texas trip in September.

Kennedy bred voting districts for defense dollars.

Kennedy fired him in '61 because of the Bay of Pigs fiasco.

Kennedy is close and on a flat, low trajectory.

Kennedy makes the turn from Houston onto Elm.

Kennedy takes public responsibility for the failure.

Kennedy wanted to end the Cold War in his second term.

Kennedy won't let us. Our hands are empty. How can we?

Kennedy's directives weren't implemented because of...

Kennedy's motorcade makes a turn from Main onto Houston.

Kids, put your water guns away.

Kings are killed. Politics is power, nothing more!

Knows philosophy, medicine, military history, politics.

Last time I checked, it was not illegal to register to vote.

Late summer the party was over. Kennedy didn't want another Bay of Pigs.

Later, he told police he was in the second floor snack room.

Later, when I saw him on television...

Learns Russian. Acts overtly Marxist.

Lee didn't make much of an impression.

Lee Harvey Oswald, a crazed, lonely man who wanted attention...

Lee Harvey Oswald.

Lee hits her on several occasions.

Left everything.

Legend has it you can get in and out of the smallest field.

Lem said that the Chiefs still think we should go into Cuba.

Leon's in a bad mood. Don't get excited.

Let's check the back.

Let's drop this subject. It's one thing to banter with these kids...

Let's get David Ferrie in here anyway.

Let's get Julia Ann Mercer in here.

Let's get you a ticket.

Let's go back to that Amos Euins matter.

Let's go! We got him!

Let's have him in for a chat.

Let's have some more champagne, shall we?

Let's just for a moment speculate, shall we?

Let's just say this, Jerry...

Let's meet with the investigators day after tomorrow.

Let's order without your daddy. He won't mind.

Let's see your ID. See anyone else up here?

Let's talk at the table. It's getting cold.

Let's track down your anonymous source from three years ago.

Licking his ass.

Like a bullet in my head, you dig?

Like all businessmen, I am accused of all things.

Like Caesar, he is surrounded by enemies.

Like I told the Washington boys...

Like it was a signal.

Like people weren't breathing. Like you were looking at a picture.

Like they was checking the area.

Like we would in a Black Op.

Literaturnaya Gazeta from Moscow.

Little ass wipe closed down the camps! Took our C 4!

Look at how the shadows on the nose...

Look at me when I talk to you! You're too selfish!

Look at that, Martin.

Look at the calendar!

Look at this picture.

Look what's happening to other people.

Look, Dad. Look what I drew.

Looks like half his brain is gone.

Lots of boys in and out.

Lou? Sorry to disturb you this late.

Lyndon Johnson signs National Security Memo 273...

Main Street's over there.

Makes perfect sense to me.

Makes sense. He's a spokesman.

Many of them gone in there, none of them came out.

Many of us saw them.

Many strange things were happening. Oswald had nothing to do with them.

Marina fights with Lee about many things.

Mary dropped to the ground, yelling, "They're shooting! Get down! "

Matter of routine. Get on this Oswald connection in New Orleans.

Mattie, could you get Mr. Garrison a drink, please?

Mattie, honey, get a hold of yourself.

Maximum 90 seconds after Kennedy is shot...

May I go?

May I see Special Agent Hosty?

Maybe be locals, Cubans, Mafia hire. Separate teams.

Maybe from the special camp we keep near Athens, Greece.

Maybe Oswald is just what he said he was.

Maybe Oswald is what everyone says he is, and I'm...

Maybe Oswald was part of that!

Maybe Shaw is an agent. I don't know.

Maybe that's the good news. Never was as good as combat.

Maybe there's some rogue element in the government.

Maybe you should ask Lyndon Johnson. He has some answers.

Maybe you're right.

McAllen, Texas? Big gun run operation.

Men acting like hoboes were pulled off trains...

Men who remove all guilt by making murder a meaningless act of a loner.

Millions of people will die. That's more important than Jim Garrison.

Mind if I smoke?

Mommy, I'm going to be in a beauty contest.

Money's at stake.

More bad news from Miami.

More than five years ago, for two minutes...?

Moved back to the Pentagon and called Kennedy a traitor.

Mr. Bertrand said he would take care of any of

Mr. Bowers, you already talked to us about this matter. Is that correct?

Mr. Chief Justice, do you understand that I can't tell the truth in Dallas?

Mr. Clark, are you aware of the charges filed by District Attorney Garrison?

Mr. Garrison has presented absolutely nothing publicly...

Mr. Garrison should have some explanation.

Mr. Garrison, how are you? Remember me?

Mr. Garrison, what can I do for you on Easter Sunday?

Mr. Garrison's own silence on the subject has raised some interesting questions.

Mr. Goldberg...

Mr. O'Keefe told us dinner was served by a uniformed waiter, a colored man.

Mr. O'Keefe told us he met you at the Masquerade Bar in the Quarter.

Mr. O'Keefe told us...

Mr. Shaw?

Mrs. Clemons was never taken to a lineup or to the Warren Commission.

Muddy up to the windows.

My eyes have opened.

My life is fucked because of it.

My life is in danger!

My office is charging Clay Shaw with outright perjury...

My reputation's all right with the people watching Laugh In.

My sympathies.

Name?

Napoleon's has a TV set.

Naturally. You claim Mr. Oswald also had dinner with me?

Nazi types. Mercenaries.

Nearly $200 billion will be spent before it's over.

Never published.

Never touched me.

Never would've let a man open an umbrella.

Never would've let the car slow down to ten miles an hour.

Next thing, he's living in Dallas Fort Worth, October '62...

******s wanting rights! Why do you think we have all this crime.

Nitrate tests indicate he hadn't fired a rifle on November 22.

Nixon was going to be a great President until Kennedy wrecked this country.

No chance in hell.

No compromising connections except at the most secret point.

No honest working man can afford to buy a car in this goddamn country anymore.

No legal counsel was provided.

No matter how many die or how much it costs...

No one can buy me.

No record made of the questioning.

No record of arrest, no mug shots, no fingerprints.

No trace!

No war... no money.

No way.

No word. They think it's in the head.

No, I don't think I am.

No, I'd be arrested and gagged. Maybe sent to an institution.

No, Mr. Bringuier. I am not a Communist. I'm a Marxist Leninist.

No, thank you. I'm fine.

No!

No.

No.

No. It can't be done.

No. Look...

No. Never heard of him.

No. The State Department issues him a new passport in 48 hours...

Nobody has told me anything except that I am accused...

Nobody knows what we're talking about here.

Nobody really knows what they were doing there, but...

Nobody wants to buy you. No one's promising you parole.

Nobody.

Nobody's crying for the thousands of Cubans...

Nobody's going to tell me that kid shot like he did from that bookstore.

None of us thought it could happen in America or any place else.

None were on foot in Dealey Plaza before or after the shooting...

None, though it's almost impossible to get Russian sweethearts out.

Not a frayed collar or cuff, fresh haircuts and shaves...

Not a Pax Americana...

Not at all.

Not for one moment.

Not much did, but that's why I was there.

Not one of the civilian doctors who examined the President...

Not one of them looked anything like this.

Not one sharpshooter could match Oswald's performance.

Not one.

Not with a routine autopsy.

Nothing as long as you live...

Nothing that I can recall.

Nothing was left to chance.

Nothing was left, but the skeleton.

Nothing will happen.

November, 1960.

Now he had the people, the equipment, the bases...

Now it gets positively spooky.

Now it'll be near impossible to prove Shaw's connection to the CIA.

Now, Jerry, here's Jim Garrison...

Objection, Your Honor!

Objection!

Objection. Mr. Garrison is insulting the federal government

Obviously, I wouldn't have him over.

Odd, since three shots were fired from there...

Of course they can.

Off the record?

Office of Naval Intelligence.

Officer Tippit is shot between 1:10 and 1:15, a mile away.

Oh, my God!

Oh, no!

Old stains, but just as telling.

On Sunday?

On the panel are Allen Dulles, ex chief of the CIA...

On the plane back to Washington...

On the plane, the White House Situation Room announced Oswald's guilt...

One day he calls, talks to me about repping Oswald in Dallas.

One hour, you hear?

One man has to be sacrificed.

One of the drivers...

One of the grossest lies ever forced on the American people.

One of the shots came from behind that picket fence.

One of the strongest plans issued by the Kennedy White House...

One of them being the "magic bullet. "

One of them was middle aged...

One pristine bullet? That dog don't hunt.

One shooter. One spotter on a radio. Maybe three teams.

One time I came in.

One time, November 9...

One time, the secretary got upset.

One, the film shot by Abraham Zapruder while standing near the grassy knoll.

Only cowards make crank calls.

Only explanation for the royal treatment is he gave them radar secrets.

Only way you get this, you do exactly what I say. I'm the man.

Or eliminate the protection for the President?

Or fake secrets.

Or is he merely saving the information to gain exposure at a national level?

Or take that unusual curve at Houston and Elm.

Or the military firing squad.

Or the secret CIA memo...

Or we might just as well build ourselves another government...

Or, "Abort! Abort! "

Original parade route on the way to the Trade Mart...

Oswald becomes chummy with the Dallas White Russian community.

Oswald did badly on his test.

Oswald is brought out like a sacrificial lamb...

Oswald is next seen by a shoe salesman, Johnny Brewer, on Jefferson Avenue.

Oswald is released.

Oswald is scared. He begins to realize the full implications of this thing.

Oswald returns to his rooming house around 1:00 p. m...

Oswald was a radar operator.

Oswald was at best a medium shot.

Oswald was charged at 7:00 p. m, Dallas time...

Oswald was in my Civil Air Patrol unit. I taught him everything.

Oswald was seen with him several times last summer.

Oswald went to see the FBI two weeks...

Oswald, Ruby, Cuba, the Mafia...

Oswald!

Our friend, Clay Shaw.

Our home! A kidnapper, a murderer!

Our most basic, common link...

Out from under those trees.

Out of the corner of my eye...

Overthrew Quirino in the Philippines, Arbenz in Guatemala...

Pandemonium.

Paris Match, the largest magazine in France.

Part of the scenery.

Part of this team is a coordinator...

Patient.

Patrolman Smith rushes to the parking lot behind the fence.

People claim you're unfit to hold office...

People like to act more important than they are.

People like you walk between the raindrops.

Perhaps a few more details about the evening will refresh your memory.

Perhaps fear now came to Oswald for the very first time.

Perry Russo?

Planes, bullets, rifles...

Please hand the verdict to the clerk.

Please rise.

Please.

Plenty of people will tell you I'm crazy.

Plenty of time.

Police think the single shot came from across the street.

Post Office.

Pray. Serve God.

President Dwight D. Eisenhower's Farewell Address to the Nation.

President Johnson orders the blood soaked limousine...

President Johnson said he regretted there's no end in sight to the war...

President Kennedy died...

President Kennedy was murdered by a conspiracy...

Presumably he will take the oath of office shortly...

Pretty fast, the way they let him go.

Prevents them from asking the most important question: why?

Probably told to wait there by his handler for a call.

Probably two to three more men are in the crowd.

Problem is getting to him. Informers on every block.

Proloid.

Pros.

Pull through, Jack.

Put a third team down in this building...

Put something in his beard, make it fall out. He'd look ridiculous...

Quarters, dimes, dollars from housewives...

Quigley destroyed the notes from the interview.

Rather than admit to a conspiracy or investigate further...

Real scared.

Really dumb dialogue like he's trying to draw attention to himself.

Really?

Regardless of what you may think of me, I am a patriot first and foremost.

Remember me? We met on Carondelet Street after your election.

Remember the meeting with Agent Quigley...

Remember, we saw him at a fund raiser. Seems like such a nice man.

Reporters everywhere. Do you think we want that?

Resigned my commission.

Revolution's coming, bullshit! Fascism's coming back!

Right behind, Jean Hill and Mary Moorman.

Right?

Ruby is all mob, knows Oswald, sets him up.

Ruby?

Rumor is, Shaw was working on some arms deal...

S.M. Holland, Richard Dodd, James Simmons...

Salesman never sees him again.

Same building, right?

Says that this company was expelled from Italy for those activities.

See that notarized signature?

See that?

Seems pretty flowery for Dave Ferrie.

Senator John Fitzgerald Kennedy of Massachusetts...

Senator Kennedy has been shot!

Set up an invasion to take place in October, '62.

Seven wounds, gentlemen.

Seventy cops there. What were they doing?

Sexual purposes?

Shattering the radius bone...

Shaw denies ever knowing Oswald, right?

Shaw got them on our tail.

Shaw, Oswald, the Cubans, all Agency.

Shaw.

Shaw's an untouchable. Highest clearance.

Shaw's our toehold. I don't know or care exactly how he fits.

She describes him as a psychotic and violent man.

She said she was a dope runner for Jack Ruby.

She says that Lee is not sexually adequate.

She thinks he's Russian by his speech.

She was not a citizen, so possibly he was threatening to deport her to Russia.

She's been high on something since they brought her in.

She's scared and doesn't see him again...

Shoot the bastard!

Shootin' the bull with Ferrie, whatever. But he was there, all right.

Shortly after 12:30...

Shots came from near the wooden fence over there...

Show this world...

Shut the fuck up!

Shut up!

Since when has the mob used anything but. 38's for hits up close?

Single car accident on an empty road in Midlothian, Texas.

Sir, can I get you to stand up?

Sit down.

Six weeks later they marry, have a daughter.

Smells good. Do you know Oswald...

So a single bullet remains.

So do I, goddamn it!

So it seems David Ferrie drove off on Friday afternoon for Texas.

So let's get on with our lives.

So the shot of fragment that left a superficial wound on Teague's cheek...

So they close the book on JFK.

So what happens then?

So, because Oswald pulled the trigger...

So, I didn't pay him much mind.

So, of course, we didn't get any geese.

So, what really happened that day?

Some Americans were trained there too.

Some bullet.

Some people say I'm crazy.

Some Saturday night date you are.

Somebody must get rid of him!

Somebody planted that fucking story!

Somebody!

Someone had stood about... here.

Something sure scared him.

Something's always bothered me about that from day one.

Something's underway, but it has no face. Yet, everybody in the loop knows.

Sometimes I feel like I didn't ever love you...

Sometimes meeting with Banister.

Son of a bitch!

Son of a bitch!

Son of a bitch.

Sorry about the precautions.

Sorry for him?

Sounding like a backfire, it misses the car completely.

Southern caricature seeking higher office.

Special Agent Hosty made three visits to Janet Williams' house...

Splintered it into 1,000 pieces, as JFK promised he would.

Starting in September '63 on, two months before the assassination...

Stay with Mom, Papa.

Stop them.

Storm wasn't that bad.

Strange guy. Dave introduced him as...

Strange people.

Studio picture, detailed biography, Russian information...

Stupid, right?

Sunday. 11:00.

Surely you've seen this. Perhaps you knew him under another name?

Sustained.

Take a look at CE 856.

Take a look here.

Take your time.

Talk about the fox investigating the chicken coop.

Tell me what I'm shooting at, rabbits or Fascists?

Telling the truth can be a scary thing sometimes.

Ten or twelve Senators.

Tennyson wrote:

Thank you all. It's on to Chicago and let's win there.

Thank you, Mr. Shaw.

Thanks for coming.

Thanks for straightening it out.

That bothers you?

That day, some Army intelligence people were in Dallas.

That Ferrie, though, Jesus, he was the craziest.

That good triumphs over evil.

That is a coup d'état.

That is, if you want to hear further testimony from me.

That kind of national security is...

That means he wasn't any good.

That proves he's a liar.

That sounds fun.

That ties it up.

That virtue was its own reward.

That was his name. Clay...

That was three years ago. We've tried to put it out of our minds.

That when Oswald went to Russia, he was not a real defector.

That won't be necessary.

That'll be tough. Nobody's talking.

That's a good spot.

That's all I need to know.

That's Clay Bertrand.

That's enough. That's enough.

That's important. It's historic.

That's like me saying, Touchdown is not very intelligent...

That's not all that's disappeared. With it, the concept of justice.

That's not mine.

That's not why!

That's pretty important.

That's right. When I saw him on TV, I was shocked.

That's scenery, Susie. Now, don't get sidetracked.

That's something. What is it?

That's the kids' job. You know I don't like these tribal rituals, anyway.

That's the man right there.

That's the man.

That's the ONl.

That's the only reason to destroy it.

That's the real question, isn't it? Why?

That's what bothers me, Mr. Garrison. They've altered my statements.

That's what happens when you let the ******s vote.

That's when I got popped.

That's who I saw at Ferrie's.

That's who you say you saw.

That's why no chief executive's been executed with one in 200 years.

That's why you're going to trial against Clay Shaw?

The "angry lone nut" solution is beginning to take shape.

The American public has not seen...

The American public has yet to see the real X rays and autopsy photographs.

The American public has yet to see the Zapruder film.

The anonymous kind, Chief.

The arrest gets Oswald a lot of publicity.

The arresting Lieutenant later said he felt it was a staged incident.

The assassination reduced the President to a transient official.

The assassination was such a pity.

The authority of the state over its people resides in its war powers.

The bad news is that the IRS requested an audit of your income from this office.

The bad news is the National Guard just asked me to resign after 18 years.

The body count for this week now stands at 67 Americans...

The boys got a couple.

The bullet then heads down at an angle of 27 degrees, shattering his rib...

The bullet turns right, reentering Connally's body at his right wrist.

The Cabinet was out of the way.

The car brakes.

The cat's stewing you, I told him.

The chief pathologist, Commander Humes...

The CIA and the Mafia worked together for years trying to whack out the beard.

The CIA has a camera outside the Cuban Embassy.

The clerk will now read the verdict.

The Commission would have us believe...

The conference room is bugged, maybe the phones. We have to debug the place.

The Criminal District Court for Orleans Parish, Section H, is now in session.

The Cubans left. Dave was drunk.

The day after they buried Kennedy.

The day before he shot Oswald?

The day that Communist son of a bitch died was a great day!

The departure of Air Force One, Friday afternoon was not so much a takeoff...

The doctor said he was in a strange shock when he died.

The driver had stopped.

The entire Cabinet was in the Far East.

The epileptic later vanished, never checking into the hospital.

The fact is, he's gone. And so is our case.

The first reports say that President Kennedy...

The first shot rings out.

The four of you partied early into the morning hours.

The full name is Lee Harvey Oswald.

The G men were just going through the motions.

The ghost of John F. Kennedy confronts us with the secret murder...

The glitter of official lies and the epic splendor of JFK's funeral...

The God spot.

The government says it can prove it with some fancy physics in a nuclear lab.

The government's still breathing.

The guy's a fag, you know?

The idea was to train these Cuban exiles for another invasion of Cuba.

The JFK Conspiracy: The Case of Jim Garrison.

The Justice Department denied this office access to the autopsy photos.

The kid must've gone nuts, right?

The kids are missing out, too.

The last car came in about seven to ten minutes before the shooting.

The maggots are everywhere! Do you know what you've done to me?

The major subject was Vietnam...

The more one looks at Jim Garrison, the more one finds...

The motorcade went ahead on schedule. The Warren Report didn't mention it.

The murder of the President.

The next morning, I went to the FBI office.

The official legend is created and the media takes it from there.

The old fisherman manages to catch this great fish...

The only reason to get him on Elm...

The organizing principle of any society, Mr. Garrison...

The Oswalds are introduced to Janet and Bill Williams.

The other night you didn't even notice Jasper.

The other problem is, there was a tree...

The others leave the country.

The people in the loop fight back. Their way.

The people's property. You pay for it.

The President going back and to his left...

The President has announced...

The President is dead.

The President met with Henry Cabot Lodge, our Ambassador to Vietnam...

The President was rushed to Parkland Memorial Hospital, four miles away.

The Quarter is filled with vivid imaginations, dear Mr. Garrison.

The same leaflets they found in his garage in Dallas.

The scope was defective on it too.

The second and third shots came almost right on top of each other.

The second spotter, talking by radio to the other teams, has the best overall view.

The shooters across Dealey Plaza tighten, taking their aim.

The shooters don't even know! Don't you get it?

The shooters quickly disassemble their various weapons, except the Oswald rifle.

The six of us, with almost no budget and in secret...

The sixth and fatal shot.

The size of this is...

The smoke came from behind the hedge.

The splendor of the meal adds to its enjoyment.

The suspect, identified as a Lee Harvey Oswald...

The things you said will be attacked by many people.

The third shot, frame 232...

The third team, C team, moves in behind the fence above the grassy knoll...

The three Bethesda doctors picked by the military left something to be desired.

The time frame, 5.6 seconds, established by the Zapruder film...

The total influence...

The triangulation of fire Clay Shaw and David Ferrie discussed two months before.

The truth is the most important value we have, because if it doesn't endure...

The truth! I'm doing my job to make sure they grow up...

The two Cubans introduce him as Leon Oswald.

The US Attorney in Washington declines to serve our subpoena...

The war is the biggest business in America...

The Warren Commission thought they had an open and shut case.

The whole thing.

The world breathes with relief.

The Zapruder film establishes three shots in 5.6 seconds.

Their hearts were still with their old FBI buddy Banister.

Their reputations are lower than crocodile piss.

Then everybody gets scared.

Then he shows up at Sylvia Odio's...

Then I started to lose everything.

Then the government will crack.

Then the mob...

Then we got into the Cuban thing. Not so good.

Then we must have gotten mistaken information.

Then why does he call himself Bertrand?

Then you didn't have a case.

Then you had him over for dinner at your apartment on Dauphine Street.

Then you're mine. Mr. Kennedy will have to wait until morning.

Then, with a $1,500 ticket from a $203 bank account, he goes to Moscow.

There are people here who do not want me to tell the truth.

There are some people who might say that you are paranoid.

There had been attempts on De Gaulle's life in France.

There he goes again.

There it is then, thank you.

There was a large 7 cm opening at the right occipital parietal area.

There was about nine to ten people there.

There was no conspiracy. If there was, why didn't Bobby Kennedy prosecute?

There was no real fight.

There wasn't any notary present during my questioning.

There were admirals.

There were others.

There were some transients taken on at least one train.

There were thousands of geese everywhere.

There would be no safe place for you.

There's a death warrant for me! Don't you get it?

There's a great deal at stake in this matter.

There's a man with a gun!

There's a reason for that.

There's a simple way to determine if I am paranoid.

There's a word, Bill.

There's Clay! There's Clay Shaw!

There's Jim!

There's more to it.

There's more to this than you could dream!

There's no one to blame.

There's nothing wrong with feeling a little scared, Jasper.

There's one other matter.

There's still a chance.

These are arrests.

These are documents classified top secret.

These are people who cannot afford to send money but do.

These are serious fucking guys.

These arrests were photographed minutes after the assassination.

These books have gotten to your mind!

These documents are yours.

These photos were found yesterday among Oswald's possessions...

These two look young.

They blocked the plaza.

They both had uniforms.

They called it "Operation Mongoose. "

They can't. We have libel laws.

They don't shoot him on Houston...

They found a Browning automatic rifle, fitted with a marksman's scope.

They get together with the **** and the Catholics...

They got new stuff!

They got some very upset people.

They had a shooting range and tropical territory, like in Cuba.

They have the best position.

They have their man.

They killed him, honey.

They knew. Someone knew Oswald would be there.

They know every inch.

They look a bit like him, but I'm sure this is the man.

They may push it back then.

They move quickly into position, minutes before the shooting.

They must know something we don't.

They must've seen everything because they knew what we had done all day.

They say that Oswald got off three shots with world class precision...

They shot him down.

They showed me some pictures.

They took them to the sheriff's and let them go. No record of questioning.

They waged a non stop war against Castro.

They want a statement. The phones are going crazy.

They want everybody too scared to speak out. They count on it.

They wanted me to say Shaw was Bertrand. They'd get me a pardon.

They were never seen again.

They were questioned at the station.

They were refurbishing the floors of the Depository that week...

They were seen together in Clinton in early September.

They'd have killed you already, but there's light on you.

They'd shake you down for the money in your pocket.

They'll destroy you.

They'll fucking kill me!

They'll get to you too.

They'll kill him before they let him be President.

They're bawling like they knew the man. Makes me want to puke.

They're bringing him out. Numa, turn it up.

They're going to kill...

They're hunting the news, it's their business.

They're putting the heat on David Ferrie.

They're ready.

They're right.

They're untouchable.

They've calibrated their sights. Practiced on moving targets.

They've gone to Dallas.

Things were never the same after that.

This ain't about justice! No, this is about order!

This and the firing of Allen Dulles...

This changes everything now.

This conjunction of an immense military establishment and arms industry is new...

This convicted Oswald in the public's mind.

This ended the reign of the CIA.

This head is pasted onto another body.

This is addressed to no one and no signature.

This is just speculation.

This is not me!

This is not one we'll come out on.

This is really strange.

This is serious. You'll need a bodyguard tonight.

This is the alleged murderer of the President.

This is the key shot.

This is the most remarkable example of police intuition...

This is the same man that nailed Oswald to the Warren Commission...

This is the shot that proves there were two rifles.

This is the whole essence of the case to me.

This is too big for you, you know that?

This is tough. No one wants to talk about Shaw.

This same rifle was used to assassinate the President.

This war has two fronts.

This was a military style ambush.

This was found in your office.

Those files have been destroyed.

Those initials are not on the three cartridge cases...

Those men you just saw were arrested in Dallas minutes after the assassination.

Those Warren Commission fellows were picking gnat shit out of pepper.

Though he has $14 in his pocket, he doesn't buy the $0.75 ticket.

Three bullets were found. Gov. Connally also appeared to have been hit.

Three experts and not one of them could do it.

Three hundred agents, 7,000 select Cubans.

Through their autopsy, we've been able to justify eight wounds from two bullets.

Time me.

Time stands still here, like a snake sunning itself.

Time?

To be the only man who's read all 26 volumes of the Warren Report?

To do that...

To frame him, obviously!

To prove there was a conspiracy involving Clay Shaw...

Today, the proudest boast is:

Too far.

Took 10,000 rounds!

Totally inconsistent with the shot from the Depository.

Tough day.

Tough skin...

Traffic had been cut off into the area since 10:00.

Triangulation of crossfire, that's the key. That's the key.

Troops for riot control were in the air.

True. I drove to Houston.

Truth is, I never met the dude.

Twenty one overseas bases.

Twenty six trained medical personnel at Parkland Hospital...

Two uniformed cops pulled up while Oswald was in his room.

Two unpredictable things happened that day to make it impossible.

Two, the third wounded man, James Teague, nicked by a fragment...

Unbelievable. You were here?

Under the guise of a patriotic club owner...

Understand?

Unless a greater effort is made by the government...

Unless we go for Shaw now.

Upstairs, in 1963, that was the Office of Naval Intelligence.

Victoria Taylor, Private Eye.

Vietnam started for real. There was an air of...

Virginia or Elizabeth?

Waiting for the radio to say, "Green! Green! "

Ward block 237B.

Was he a homosexual?

Watch the ear!

Watch your mouth! Ferrie did this himself.

Watch.

We all cherish our children's futures.

We are a great country, an unselfish, compassionate country.

We are going to trial, y'all!

We believe there was a conspiracy.

We better.

We both do.

We came around to look for tracks.

We can raise the possibility that Oswald was not only an informant...

We don't have a prayer!

We don't know he's CIA. Let's circle him very probable.

We don't need gates with that swamp.

We face more cost...

We got near the geese, then realized we had forgotten our shotguns.

We got to double check his work.

We have heard some strange things coming out of your office.

We have many homegrown crimes to prosecute.

We have the epileptic seizure...

We have three bullets and three shots that came from the Book Depository.

We have to control the intelligence from Saigon.

We have, Your Honor.

We heard you went to Texas shortly after the assassination on Friday.

We just don't let McNamara stick his nose in this thing!

We just had our dicks in the wind.

We just need to get him in the open.

We know one was the fatal head shot that killed Kennedy.

We know Oswald didn't pull that trigger. Castro did.

We must get hold of it.

We must guard against the acquisition...

We must never let the weight of this combination...

We must re examine our own attitudes towards the Soviet Union.

We need him back.

We need three mechanics in three different locations.

We need to find more witnesses.

We sang:

We sent him up too.

We should investigate our Mafia leads here.

We still got the...

We stockpiled arms, explosives.

We studied the memos and there was nothing there. Nothing.

We waited for hours, Jim!

We went to confront him and the landlady said the son of a bitch just left.

We went to Houston.

We would, in a free thinking society...

We, the people, the jury system sitting in judgment on Clay Shaw...

We'd have arrived days ahead, studied the route...

We'll be in touch.

We'll talk tomorrow. I have to catch a plane to Washington.

We're going back into the case.

We're going to Antoine's with the kids!

We're going. We need your help.

We're not law enforcement officers.

We're talking about a crime.

We're talking about our government!

We're talking about your career. You're young.

We're through the looking glass.

We've all become Hamlets in our country, children of a slain father leader...

We've bitten off more Vietnam than we can chew.

We've had reports that Oswald spent the summer here...

We've never been refused an extradition request.

We've talked to a number of men who claim to know you.

Welcome back, Lou.

Welcome, District Attorney Garrison.

Well, bless my soul.

Were they questioned?

Were you confident about the outcome?

Were you ever in the Free Cuba movement or whatever it's called?

What about Lee?

What about the railroad man, Lee Bowers, who saw the men at the picket fence?

What about the Secret Service? The cops?

What about these others? You said one might be him?

What are our lives worth?

What are you doing here?

What are you driving at?

What are you talking about?

What did he say? "I'm just a patsy! " Believe it.

What did you think of me and Oswald last night?

What do you mean?

What I need to know is why are you telling us this.

What if a man with hypertension were to take an entire bottle of Proloid?

What if I told you Oswald was trained in the Russian language in the Marines?

What kind of a man are you?

What kind of peace do I mean?

What kind of peace do we seek?

What kind of source?

What name?

What national security permits the removal...

What shall I tell them? Their piling up outside the door.

What the fuck is he doing here?

What the hell do we really got?

What they told him doesn't matter.

What was so appealing about Houston?

What?

What? For this heap?

What'd you expect from a pig but a grunt?

What'll you do now?

What's going on?

What's it look like?

What's the mystery? Everybody down here knows him.

What's their saying?

What's this Fidel shit? You lied to me!

What's this? What's going on?

What's wrong with this family?

What's wrong?

When he is brought from the theater...

When he realized something had gone wrong and Kennedy had been killed...

When he's arrested, Marina buries him with the public.

When I read my testimony in the Warren Report...

When I saw the gun, I thought...

When I scheduled it, I didn't know it was a holiday.

When Kennedy gets in the kill zone, it's a turkey shoot.

When my office or you, the people, asked those questions, demanded evidence...

When the sun rises the next morning...

When they heard he was now pro Castro, they paid him a visit.

When they think she's ready, they buy her dresses...

When we finally get a court order to examine Kennedy's brain...

When you were in the Army, did you ever find out what an order meant?

When?

When's Daddy coming?

When's the proper time to declare one dead?

Where did you drive?

Where does Banister fit in?

Where is all this leading to?

Where was Oswald?

Where you been?

Where're you going?

Whether Shaw was a part of it is another kettle of fish.

Which is strange 'cause it's less than 20 minutes after the assassination.

Who are you scared of?

Who are you talking to?

Who can you brag to?

Who could have best done this?

Who did the President? Fuck! It's a mystery.

Who do you think changed the parade route?

Who don't want me to have a retrial.

Who gives a shit what he calls himself?

Who grieves for Lee Harvey Oswald...

Who has the power to cover it up? Who?

Who is he? I've been to all the bars. Nobody wants to talk.

Who is this? Who is this?

Who killed Caesar?

Who killed President Kennedy? Was there a conspiracy here?

Who killed the President?

Who makes them? Bell Helicopter. Who owns Bell?

Who rules? Fascism is coming back.

Who the hell are you? Alex Hidell or Lee Oswald?

Who will you persecute next?

Who'd have ever thought...

Who's been going through my files?

Who's in charge here?

Why are they saying that?

Why did Guy beat you, Jack?

Why do we have to leave?

Why don't we go to the horse's mouth?

Why don't you just tell us now?

Why not just shoot Kennedy on Houston?

Why should they talk to you?

Why the urge to ice skate in Texas...

Why was Kennedy killed? Who benefited?

Why were you in Russia? What happened to your eye?

Why would I want to look through your files?

Why would the FBI cover it up?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why? What's wrong?

Wife of impeccable taste.

Will the same people kill us, Papa?

Will you come to the trial?

Will you give us a little help on that grand jury thing?

Will you testify, Beverly?

William Newman, father of two children.

William Walter, the FBI night clerk, gave me a copy.

Willie O'Keefe?

With Broussard, they have everything...

With one half of his mind, he is able to fabricate evidence...

With taxpayer money, has he uncovered valuable new evidence?

With whose testimony? O'Keefe, a male prostitute?

Within the United States over the period of the last three years...

Without really aiming.

Witness is excused.

Wouldn't even know what he looked like if I hadn't seen pictures.

Wound #3.

Wound #7, from which it later falls out...

Wreck the autopsy? Influence the national media to go to sleep?

Yeah. I have no reason to lie to you.

Yes, I did.

Yes, Mr. Shaw was included in our investigation.

Yes, sir, I did.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes. Everybody knew everybody. They were all part of the network.

Yes. The President's been shot.

Yes. The President's been shot.

Yesterday, in the midst of sorrow, the business of government went on.

Yet there's no record of their arrest.

Yet, on November 22, 1963...

You ain't bugged, are you? Son of a bitch, Lou!

You are a Communist, are you not?

You are one stubborn son of a bitch.

You are so naive.

You are taking a crap in the wind.

You are under arrest for conspiracy...

You are way out of line.

You been duck hunting. Oswald's an old fashioned decoy.

You called our office from your hospital bed. You were hopping mad about it.

You came all this way to tell me the obvious?

You can't bury your head in the sand like an ostrich, Liz!

You can't miss. He is a dead duck.

You can't tell a boy from a girl anymore.

You care more about John Kennedy than your own family.

You chewed toothpicks, played dominoes, spit, dated policemen.

You control McNamara, you control Kennedy.

You could've telephoned.

You didn't see a goddamn thing!

You didn't see a goddamn thing!

You don't have a choice anymore.

You don't know what goes on here anymore! You're busy making speeches!

You don't leave the Agency.

You ever read Shakespeare?

You get out of school at 3:00?

You go ahead, put me on the stand, I'll tell the same goddamned story!

You going to play with this rifle or pack it?

You got an hour to solve the case while I get the kids in bed.

You got the right ta ta, but the wrong ho ho.

You got visitors here. Don't give them trouble.

You got your hate mail here. And your fan mail here.

You had drinks...

You handle it, okay? I don't have time for this nonsense.

You have me consorting with a sordid cast of characters.

You heard echoes!

You keep digging it up.

You keep saying that.

You know how many helicopters have been lost in Vietnam?

You know the name Clay Bertrand?

You know what he said to us? "Cubans don't have guts, 'cause Kennedy...

You know what I mean.

You know what I think?

You know what she had painted on it? "Love Child. "

You know what's happening, he's winning.

You know who was the mayor at the time?

You know, you're not a bad looking man.

You liberal, you don't know shit 'cause you never been fucked in the ass.

You lie to them as you lied to me, I'll charge you with perjury.

You must think on a different level, like the CIA does.

You never talked to me this way.

You only heard three shots, and don't discuss this with anyone.

You pinko shit!

You put a team there down at the fence.

You remember the Hemingway story, The Old Man and the Sea?

You said a Sunday, not Easter Sunday.

You said Clay Bertrand called you the day after the assassination...

You said Leon was actually Lee Harvey Oswald?

You sat at one end and he at the other, which he found unusual...

You sound like it's a remote experience in ancient history.

You sure got it.

You told me you and Guy were good friends for a long time.

You want to do my job! You do my job, I'll do your job.

You want to free Cuba? Whack out the fucking beard!

You wanted to see me, General?

You went through all my files!

You were a Marine. Who'd run it?

You were right.

You were the only one here!

You weren't even mentioned in the story.

You weren't so sure in your statement to the Commission.

You will lose!

You won't get that son of a bitch!

You won't have any problems filling out divorce papers.

You'd have felt an Army presence in the streets that day.

You'd think they'd understand what were doing.

You'll be okay, Dave.

You're a fighter. I like a man who's not afraid of bad odds.

You're a goddamn spy!

You're a mouse fighting a gorilla. JFK's dead as that crabmeat.

You're as crazy as your mama. It's in the genes.

You're awake. I'm deadly serious.

You're going to the South Pole.

You're going to write a book?

You're investigating the murder of President Kennedy.

You're making a big mistake.

You're missing most of your life and you don't know it.

You're not being cross examined.

You're out of order! Now, sit down!

You're the DA of New Orleans.

You're the first person I've met who considers it patriotic to kill the President.

You're the only one here today.

You're the only straight shooter there.

You're working the Castro thing.

You've been looking through my files, you little weasel!

Your daddy's entered you in a beauty contest. Like to be in one?

Your faith in the veracity of the major media is touching.

Your friends said you had no weapons.

Your Honor, please direct the witness to answer my question.

Your Honor, we call Police Officer Aloysius Habighorst to the stand.

Your hunch was right, Boss.

Your latest theory seems to be that the CIA and the FBl...

Your only chance is to come up with a case. Something. Anything.

Your own daughter!

Your story is not believable.

... and asked you to be Oswald's lawyer. Right.

... the action you are about to take? Yes, I do, sir.

"I offered you love, I got kicked. " Must've pressed to come up with that.

Allen Dulles? Head of the CIA since '53.

And that's what will happen to us. Then what did we do this for?

Bertrand? Yeah.

Can I stay up another hour? I don't think so, Son.

Can we talk to her? She's dead too.

Clay Bertrand? I don't know.

Dave? You got it. Listen.

Did you shoot the President? I didn't shoot anybody.

Director of the Trade Mart? Former director.

Ever call Dean Andrews? No, I did not.

FBl? Here.

Guess who his brother is? Who?

Hey, how long were you in that restroom? None of your goddamn business.

Hi, honey. Hi.

His palm print was on it. It went to the FBl.

Honey, this is about you. After an investigation in New Orleans...

How do the mob figure in this? They're Agency too.

How does it feel to be acquitted? It's been exhausting.

How many shots did you hear? Four to six.

How you doing, Mr. Broussard? Let's go, Willie.

I am! Go hide!

I didn't pick you for your legal skill. Thanks, Boss.

I don't even need this parole. What parole?

I don't know! You never believed me?

I don't think so, Al. I have to agree with Al, Boss.

I don't think so. I thought we had an agreement.

I don't trust him. Did you two hear me?

I don't trust him. I will not hear this.

I don't want to be another statistic. We could call you in.

I heard shots from over there. How many?

I hunt. You hunt?

I keep saying what? You're not digging deep enough.

I read your testimony. Grain of salt.

I'd like to thank the Warren Commission. Oswald was no angel.

I'm a hack. He needs a hot dog. Then how did you get in the Commission?

I'm ruling that inadmissible! That's our case!

In our time, in our country! They've done it throughout history.

Is that not so? Yes, I did.

Is that the man? That was the man, right there.

It could go the way of the communism What you got there?

It was Oswald. He hated We're having a communication problem.

Keep on it, Bill. This is the interesting part.

Lawdy. She's not as cute as you.

Name? Clay LaVerne Shaw.

No, I'm not. You are.

Not with me. I've got to go. Hold on.

Objection, Your Honor. Sustained.

Once you're in, they got you for life. And Shaw?

One likes friends that have friends. Indeed.

Orders. Or a cover up.

Oswald? No, I did not.

Over ten years. And he never hit you before?

People like you don't have to. May I go?

Please answer the question. 'Course not.

Secret Service. Come with us. No! Find the shooter!

So he was directing the autopsy. No.

Stick to what you can prove in court. You want facts?

Sure they can. No, I'm sorry. They can't.

That came from Janet Williams' garage. I never saw this picture.

That the man you had in mind? No, it was not.

That's all I'll say. What's the problem?

That's all we'll say. No, sir.

The camera can pick these up. Jim, I'm sorry.

The government wants us scared. You and your government!

Think I could get a martini? They're waiting for you, sir.

To whom am I speaking? Clay Bertrand. I'll pay what they owe.

We know what's going on at your office. I guess you do.

We want you to come up with a plan. I can do that.

Weigh it. 653 grams.

What do you mean? Photographs, compromising stuff.
