2501
02:31:34,984 --> 02:31:36,664
For the first time...
2502
02:31:38,264 --> 02:31:40,184
...I feel really scared.
2503
02:31:52,504 --> 02:31:54,744
I wish I could've loved you more.
2504
02:31:57,584 --> 02:32:01,864
Sometimes I feel like
I didn't ever love you...
2505
02:32:02,744 --> 02:32:04,664
...or the children enough.
2506
02:32:06,584 --> 02:32:07,864
I'm sorry.
2507
02:32:49,784 --> 02:32:51,064
Please rise.
2508
02:32:53,624 --> 02:32:58,144
The Criminal District Court for Orleans
Parish, Section H, is now in session.
2509
02:32:58,624 --> 02:33:02,464
Honorable Judge Edward A. Haggerty, Jr.
presiding. Be seated.
2510
02:33:07,664 --> 02:33:09,024
That's Clay Bertrand.
2511
02:33:09,104 --> 02:33:10,984
That's who I saw at Ferrie's.
2512
02:33:11,104 --> 02:33:12,864
That's who you say you saw.
2513
02:33:13,984 --> 02:33:15,584
A confessed homosexual.
2514
02:33:16,704 --> 02:33:18,984
Convicted of pandering and soliciting.
2515
02:33:19,744 --> 02:33:21,984
A man who has lied about everything...
2516
02:33:22,464 --> 02:33:24,944
...and now wants to be taken at his word.
2517
02:33:25,024 --> 02:33:27,544
That man, right there. Yes, sir.
2518
02:33:27,824 --> 02:33:30,064
He was at the Pontchartrain wall...
2519
02:33:30,704 --> 02:33:33,024
...with the man who shot the President.
2520
02:33:33,864 --> 02:33:36,304
I remember him because of his limp.
2521
02:33:36,464 --> 02:33:39,264
A heroin addict injecting himself
at the wall.
2522
02:33:39,664 --> 02:33:41,864
Barely conscious of his surroundings.
2523
02:33:41,944 --> 02:33:44,704
- Is that the man?
- That was the man, right there.
2524
02:33:44,944 --> 02:33:47,024
He dropped Oswald off on the voter's line.
2525
02:33:47,384 --> 02:33:50,784
I remember 'cause they were the only
white strangers around that day.
2526
02:33:50,864 --> 02:33:54,344
That big black Cadillac of his
made me think they might be FBl.
2527
02:33:54,544 --> 02:33:57,504
Welcome to Clinton.
If you need any help, let us know.
2528
02:33:57,584 --> 02:34:01,344
He said he was a representative
of Warren International Trade Mart.
2529
02:34:01,864 --> 02:34:04,424
More than five years ago,
for two minutes...?
2530
02:34:05,104 --> 02:34:07,264
It's fair to say you could be mistaken.
2531
02:34:07,344 --> 02:34:09,384
Just a figment of my imagination.
2532
02:34:09,624 --> 02:34:12,344
The cat's stewing you, I told him.
2533
02:34:12,464 --> 02:34:15,224
You got the right ta-ta,
but the wrong ho-ho.
2534
02:34:15,504 --> 02:34:19,104
Bertrand is not Shaw, scout's honor.
And you can tell him I said so.
2535
02:34:19,184 --> 02:34:20,264
Objection, Your Honor!
2536
02:34:20,344 --> 02:34:23,664
Andrews has been convicted of perjury
on this matter.
2537
02:34:23,744 --> 02:34:26,184
Exception taken. That case is on appeal.
2538
02:34:27,184 --> 02:34:28,424
Mr. Goldberg...
2539
02:34:28,824 --> 02:34:31,504
...you claim you met Ferrie and Shaw
on a vacation trip...
2540
02:34:31,584 --> 02:34:33,744
...from your accounting business
in New York.
2541
02:34:33,824 --> 02:34:35,104
You had drinks...
2542
02:34:35,184 --> 02:34:37,424
...and while drunk,
discussed killing Kennedy.
2543
02:34:37,504 --> 02:34:39,464
- Is that not so?
- Yes, I did.
2544
02:34:39,624 --> 02:34:43,984
Is it also true that you fingerprinted
your daughter when she went to college?
2545
02:34:44,384 --> 02:34:45,504
Yes, sir, I did.
2546
02:34:45,584 --> 02:34:49,344
Is it also true that you fingerprinted her
when she returned?
2547
02:34:49,584 --> 02:34:50,664
Yes, I did.
2548
02:34:51,024 --> 02:34:52,024
Why?
2549
02:34:52,384 --> 02:34:55,504
I wanted to make sure
she was the same girl I sent away.
2550
02:34:58,584 --> 02:35:00,504
He was one of Broussard's witnesses.
2551
02:35:00,584 --> 02:35:03,184
He was totally sane
when we took his affidavit.
2552
02:35:03,264 --> 02:35:07,384
Your Honor, we call Police Officer
Aloysius Habighorst to the stand.
2553
02:35:07,904 --> 02:35:10,304
I must ask the jury to leave the court.
2554
02:35:10,464 --> 02:35:12,744
Gentlemen, will you please rise
and follow me.
2555
02:35:12,824 --> 02:35:15,704
- Name?
- Clay LaVerne Shaw.
2556
02:35:15,824 --> 02:35:17,864
Defendant didn't have his lawyer present.
2557
02:35:17,944 --> 02:35:20,944
It's standard booking procedure
to ask an alias!
2558
02:35:21,024 --> 02:35:22,424
I call them as I see them!
2559
02:35:22,504 --> 02:35:23,704
Any aliases?
2560
02:35:23,824 --> 02:35:25,024
Clay Bertrand.
2561
02:35:27,064 --> 02:35:30,664
It's not constitutionally required
that a lawyer be present!
2562
02:35:31,424 --> 02:35:34,304
- I'm ruling that inadmissible!
- That's our case!
2563
02:35:34,464 --> 02:35:36,584
Then you didn't have a case.
2564
02:35:37,144 --> 02:35:39,944
I wouldn't believe anything
Habighorst said anyway.
2565
02:35:40,024 --> 02:35:41,984
I can't believe you're saying this!
2566
02:35:42,064 --> 02:35:44,184
I am saying it. Bring in the jury.
2567
02:35:48,144 --> 02:35:50,184
- Oswald?
- No, I did not.
2568
02:35:51,464 --> 02:35:54,584
- Ever call Dean Andrews?
- No, I did not.
2569
02:35:55,904 --> 02:35:58,184
Have you ever met David Ferrie?
2570
02:35:59,304 --> 02:36:02,824
Wouldn't even know what he looked like
if I hadn't seen pictures.
2571
02:36:04,024 --> 02:36:06,224
Did you ever use the alias, Clay Bertrand?
2572
02:36:06,344 --> 02:36:08,384
No, I did not.
2573
02:36:09,624 --> 02:36:11,384
Thank you, Mr. Shaw.
2574
02:36:14,424 --> 02:36:17,544
A very great actor has just given us
a great performance.
2575
02:36:17,904 --> 02:36:20,264
But we are nowhere closer to the truth.
2576
02:36:20,784 --> 02:36:24,664
My office is charging Clay Shaw
with outright perjury...
2577
02:36:24,784 --> 02:36:28,984
...on 15 answers he's given today,
not one word being true.
2578
02:36:29,104 --> 02:36:31,544
You're out of order! Now, sit down!
2579
02:36:31,824 --> 02:36:33,624
That's the man right there.
2580
02:36:40,304 --> 02:36:43,344
To prove there was a conspiracy
involving Clay Shaw...
2581
02:36:43,824 --> 02:36:47,944
...we must prove there was more than
one man involved in the assassination.
2582
02:36:48,584 --> 02:36:49,624
To do that...
2583
02:36:49,744 --> 02:36:53,184
...we must look at the Zapruder film
which my office subpoenaed.
2584
02:36:53,904 --> 02:36:56,184
The American public has not seen...
2585
02:36:58,064 --> 02:37:03,344
...has not seen the film. It's been locked
in a vault the last five years...
2586
02:37:03,744 --> 02:37:06,184
...in the Time-Life Building in New York.
2587
02:37:07,144 --> 02:37:08,864
There's a reason for that.
2588
02:37:10,064 --> 02:37:10,944
Watch.
2589
02:37:59,264 --> 02:38:01,464
"The picture speaks 1,000 words. "
2590
02:38:03,144 --> 02:38:06,184
The Warren Commission thought they had
an open-and-shut case.
2591
02:38:06,264 --> 02:38:08,064
Three bullets, one assassin.
2592
02:38:09,104 --> 02:38:12,384
Two unpredictable things happened
that day to make it impossible.
2593
02:38:12,464 --> 02:38:17,744
One, the film shot by Abraham Zapruder
while standing near the grassy knoll.
2594
02:38:18,384 --> 02:38:22,424
Two, the third wounded man,
James Teague, nicked by a fragment...
2595
02:38:22,664 --> 02:38:25,144
...while standing near the triple underpass.
2596
02:38:25,264 --> 02:38:28,704
The time frame, 5.6 seconds,
established by the Zapruder film...
2597
02:38:29,024 --> 02:38:31,384
...left no possibility of a fourth shot.
2598
02:38:31,824 --> 02:38:35,784
So the shot of fragment that left
a superficial wound on Teague's cheek...
2599
02:38:36,064 --> 02:38:40,264
...came from one of the three bullets
fired from the Depository's sixth floor.
2600
02:38:40,984 --> 02:38:42,824
That leaves just two bullets.
2601
02:38:43,304 --> 02:38:46,544
We know one was the fatal head shot
that killed Kennedy.
2602
02:38:48,384 --> 02:38:50,104
So a single bullet remains.
2603
02:38:50,384 --> 02:38:54,864
A single bullet must account for the seven
wounds in Kennedy and Connally.
2604
02:38:55,704 --> 02:38:58,704
Rather than admit to a conspiracy
or investigate further...
2605
02:38:58,824 --> 02:39:01,144
...the Warren Commission
endorsed the theory...
2606
02:39:01,264 --> 02:39:04,424
...put forth by an ambitious attorney,
Arlen Spector.
2607
02:39:04,544 --> 02:39:07,824
One of the grossest lies ever forced
on the American people.
2608
02:39:09,344 --> 02:39:11,704
It's known as the "magic bullet" theory.
2609
02:39:12,464 --> 02:39:13,864
The magic bullet...
2610
02:39:14,064 --> 02:39:18,264
...enters the President's back,
headed downward at a 17-degree angle.
2611
02:39:18,824 --> 02:39:23,344
It then moves upwards to leave Kennedy's
body from the front of his neck...
2612
02:39:23,824 --> 02:39:25,304
...wound #2...
2613
02:39:25,744 --> 02:39:27,704
...where it waits 1.6 seconds...
2614
02:39:28,424 --> 02:39:32,064
...presumably in midair,
where it turns right, then left...
2615
02:39:32,744 --> 02:39:34,544
...right, then left...
2616
02:39:34,984 --> 02:39:38,224
...and continues
into Connally's right armpit.
2617
02:39:38,504 --> 02:39:39,784
Wound #3.
2618
02:39:40,424 --> 02:39:45,264
The bullet then heads down at an angle
of 27 degrees, shattering his rib...
2619
02:39:45,704 --> 02:39:49,384
...and exiting from the right side
of his chest. Wound #4.
2620
02:39:50,024 --> 02:39:54,504
The bullet turns right, reentering
Connally's body at his right wrist.
2621
02:39:55,264 --> 02:39:56,544
Wound #5.
2622
02:39:57,184 --> 02:39:59,024
Shattering the radius bone...
2623
02:39:59,104 --> 02:40:01,864
...the bullet exits Connally's wrist,
wound #6...
2624
02:40:02,344 --> 02:40:06,744
...makes a dramatic U-turn,
then buries itself in Connally's left thigh.
2625
02:40:07,064 --> 02:40:09,904
Wound #7, from which it later falls out...
2626
02:40:10,464 --> 02:40:13,104
...and is found
in almost pristine condition...
2627
02:40:13,504 --> 02:40:16,464
...on a stretcher in a corridor
of Parkland Hospital.
2628
02:40:18,864 --> 02:40:20,104
Some bullet.
2629
02:40:21,864 --> 02:40:24,944
Any combat vet can tell you,
never in the history of gunfire...
2630
02:40:25,024 --> 02:40:27,544
...has there been a bullet this ridiculous.
2631
02:40:28,424 --> 02:40:33,064
The government says it can prove it
with some fancy physics in a nuclear lab.
2632
02:40:33,544 --> 02:40:34,984
Of course they can.
2633
02:40:35,064 --> 02:40:38,304
Theoretical physics can prove
an elephant can hang from a cliff...
2634
02:40:38,384 --> 02:40:40,464
...with his tail tied to a daisy.
2635
02:40:41,224 --> 02:40:43,504
But use your eyes, your common sense.
2636
02:40:44,104 --> 02:40:48,224
The Army wound ballistics experts
fired some comparison bullets.
2637
02:40:48,744 --> 02:40:51,224
Not one of them looked anything like this.
2638
02:40:52,704 --> 02:40:54,704
Take a look at CE-856.
2639
02:40:55,704 --> 02:40:57,264
An identical bullet...
2640
02:40:57,424 --> 02:41:00,144
...fired through the wrist
of a human cadaver...
2641
02:41:00,744 --> 02:41:03,704
...just one of the bones smashed
by the magic bullet.
2642
02:41:04,664 --> 02:41:06,304
Seven wounds, gentlemen.
2643
02:41:06,544 --> 02:41:07,824
Tough skin...
2644
02:41:08,264 --> 02:41:09,784
...dense bones.
2645
02:41:10,904 --> 02:41:12,984
This single-bullet explanation...
2646
02:41:13,184 --> 02:41:16,984
...is the foundation of the Warren
Commission's claim of one assassin.
2647
02:41:17,544 --> 02:41:18,864
And once you conclude...
2648
02:41:18,944 --> 02:41:21,984
...the magic bullet couldn't create
all seven wounds...
2649
02:41:22,144 --> 02:41:25,944
...you must conclude there was
a fourth shot and a second rifleman.
2650
02:41:27,464 --> 02:41:29,704
And if there was a second rifleman...
2651
02:41:30,104 --> 02:41:33,304
...then by definition there had
to be a conspiracy...
2652
02:41:33,704 --> 02:41:36,824
...which we believe
involves the accused, Clay Shaw.
2653
02:41:37,584 --> 02:41:42,504
Fifty-one witnesses thought
they heard shots from the grassy knoll...
2654
02:41:42,824 --> 02:41:45,784
...which is to the right,
in front of the President.
2655
02:41:46,824 --> 02:41:48,464
Key witnesses that day?
2656
02:41:49,184 --> 02:41:51,344
Charles Brehm, a combat vet.
2657
02:41:51,944 --> 02:41:54,384
Right behind, Jean Hill and Mary Moorman.
2658
02:41:55,024 --> 02:41:57,584
S.M. Holland, Richard Dodd,
James Simmons...
2659
02:41:57,864 --> 02:42:00,384
...standing on the overpass. J.C. Price...
2660
02:42:00,464 --> 02:42:02,144
...overlooking the plaza.
2661
02:42:02,984 --> 02:42:05,624
William Newman, father of two children.
2662
02:42:05,784 --> 02:42:08,224
He hit the deck on the north side of Elm.
2663
02:42:09,424 --> 02:42:11,024
Abraham Zapruder.
2664
02:42:27,064 --> 02:42:30,024
Each of these key witnesses
has no doubt whatsoever...
2665
02:42:30,184 --> 02:42:33,224
...one or more shots came
from behind the picket fence.
2666
02:42:34,064 --> 02:42:37,224
Twenty-six trained medical personnel
at Parkland Hospital...
2667
02:42:37,304 --> 02:42:40,904
...saw the back of the President's head
blasted out!
2668
02:42:43,104 --> 02:42:44,584
Doctor Peters.
2669
02:42:45,104 --> 02:42:49,664
There was a large 7 cm opening
at the right occipital parietal area.
2670
02:42:49,784 --> 02:42:52,584
A considerable portion
of the brain was missing.
2671
02:42:54,064 --> 02:42:58,704
A fifth or possibly a quarter of the back
of the head had been blasted out...
2672
02:42:58,864 --> 02:43:00,984
...along with the underlying brain tissue.
2673
02:43:01,064 --> 02:43:03,544
When's the proper time
to declare one dead?
2674
02:43:03,984 --> 02:43:07,904
There was also a large fragment of skull
attached to a flap of the scalp.
2675
02:43:08,184 --> 02:43:12,024
The exit hole in the rear of his head
measured about 120 mm...
2676
02:43:12,144 --> 02:43:13,744
...or five inches, across.
2677
02:43:13,824 --> 02:43:17,624
Not one of the civilian doctors
who examined the President...
2678
02:43:18,024 --> 02:43:21,344
...regarded his throat wound as anything
but an entry wound.
2679
02:43:22,024 --> 02:43:25,464
But then the body was illegally moved
to Washington for the autopsy.
2680
02:43:25,544 --> 02:43:27,704
Because when a coup d'état has occurred...
2681
02:43:27,784 --> 02:43:32,024
...there's a big difference between
an autopsy performed by civilian doctors...
2682
02:43:32,104 --> 02:43:35,504
...and one that is performed
by military doctors under orders.
2683
02:43:36,584 --> 02:43:41,424
The departure of Air Force One, Friday
afternoon was not so much a takeoff...
2684
02:43:41,504 --> 02:43:44,584
...as it was a getaway,
with the newly sworn in President.
2685
02:43:44,664 --> 02:43:45,744
Objection!
2686
02:43:45,824 --> 02:43:46,744
Sustained.
2687
02:43:46,824 --> 02:43:51,224
On the plane, the White House Situation
Room announced Oswald's guilt...
2688
02:43:51,304 --> 02:43:54,944
...to all passengers before any kind
of investigation had begun.
2689
02:43:55,184 --> 02:43:58,024
The "angry lone nut" solution
is beginning to take shape.
2690
02:43:58,104 --> 02:44:00,544
- Objection, Your Honor.
- Sustained.
2691
02:44:02,264 --> 02:44:04,144
Please bottle the acid.
2692
02:44:06,184 --> 02:44:10,864
The three Bethesda doctors picked by
the military left something to be desired.
2693
02:44:10,984 --> 02:44:14,464
None of them had experience
with combat-gunfire wounds.
2694
02:44:14,864 --> 02:44:19,184
Through their autopsy, we've been able
to justify eight wounds from two bullets.
2695
02:44:19,304 --> 02:44:21,584
Three to Kennedy, five to Connally.
2696
02:44:21,664 --> 02:44:23,904
One of them being the "magic bullet. "
2697
02:44:24,064 --> 02:44:25,464
- FBl?
- Here.
2698
02:44:25,544 --> 02:44:29,184
Col. Finck, are you saying someone
told you not to dissect the neck?
2699
02:44:29,264 --> 02:44:32,424
I was told the family wanted
the examination of the head.
2700
02:44:33,144 --> 02:44:34,344
Oh, Christ.
2701
02:44:34,504 --> 02:44:36,184
Looks like half his brain is gone.
2702
02:44:36,264 --> 02:44:38,504
- Weigh it.
-653 grams.
2703
02:44:38,584 --> 02:44:41,584
As a pathologist, it was your obligation
to explore...
2704
02:44:41,664 --> 02:44:43,464
...all possible causes of death.
2705
02:44:43,544 --> 02:44:45,064
I had the cause of death.
2706
02:44:45,144 --> 02:44:48,424
Your Honor, please direct the witness
to answer my question.
2707
02:44:49,344 --> 02:44:52,504
Why did Col. Finck not dissect
the tract of the bullet wound?
2708
02:44:52,584 --> 02:44:54,504
I heard Dr. Humes stating...
2709
02:44:54,744 --> 02:44:56,744
That's enough. That's enough.
2710
02:44:56,864 --> 02:44:58,224
It's duly noted.
2711
02:44:58,664 --> 02:45:00,264
Let's check the back.
2712
02:45:07,624 --> 02:45:09,904
I can feel the end of the wound
with my finger.
2713
02:45:09,984 --> 02:45:11,824
That won't be necessary.
2714
02:45:14,504 --> 02:45:15,984
Watch the ear!
2715
02:45:17,304 --> 02:45:19,544
Shot in the back. Cheap crime.
2716
02:45:19,824 --> 02:45:20,784
He said:
2717
02:45:21,024 --> 02:45:22,664
Who's in charge here?
2718
02:45:23,024 --> 02:45:24,064
I am.
2719
02:45:25,304 --> 02:45:26,704
I don't remember his name.
2720
02:45:27,344 --> 02:45:28,904
It was quite crowded.
2721
02:45:29,304 --> 02:45:32,904
And when you are called to look
at the wounds of the dead President...
2722
02:45:32,984 --> 02:45:35,944
...you don't ask people for their names
and who they are.
2723
02:45:36,024 --> 02:45:40,024
But you were a qualified pathologist.
Was the Army General?
2724
02:45:40,544 --> 02:45:41,344
No.
2725
02:45:42,184 --> 02:45:43,504
But you took his orders.
2726
02:45:44,144 --> 02:45:44,984
Yes.
2727
02:45:45,144 --> 02:45:47,464
- So he was directing the autopsy.
- No.
2728
02:45:47,704 --> 02:45:49,704
There were others.
2729
02:45:50,504 --> 02:45:51,984
There were admirals.
2730
02:45:54,144 --> 02:45:56,984
When you're a Lieutenant Colonel,
you follow orders.
2731
02:45:57,064 --> 02:46:01,464
It is not our business to discuss this
with anyone outside this room.
2732
02:46:01,544 --> 02:46:04,424
As I recall, Admiral Kenney,
Navy Surgeon General...
2733
02:46:04,744 --> 02:46:07,864
...specifically told us
not to discuss the case.
2734
02:46:10,584 --> 02:46:13,544
A lot of people were deciding
what was private...
2735
02:46:14,024 --> 02:46:16,504
...none of the American people's business.
2736
02:46:16,584 --> 02:46:18,584
The chief pathologist, Commander Humes...
2737
02:46:18,664 --> 02:46:22,064
...by his own admission,
voluntarily burned his autopsy notes.
2738
02:46:22,384 --> 02:46:25,064
President Johnson orders
the blood-soaked limousine...
2739
02:46:25,144 --> 02:46:28,584
...filled with bullet holes and clues
to be washed and rebuilt.
2740
02:46:28,904 --> 02:46:31,624
He sends Connally's bloody suit
to the cleaners.
2741
02:46:32,744 --> 02:46:36,544
The Justice Department denied this office
access to the autopsy photos.
2742
02:46:37,624 --> 02:46:41,824
When we finally get a court order
to examine Kennedy's brain...
2743
02:46:42,224 --> 02:46:45,544
...in the hopes of finding
from which direction the bullet came...
2744
02:46:45,624 --> 02:46:46,904
...we're told...
2745
02:46:47,704 --> 02:46:51,544
...by your government that
the President's brain has disappeared.
2746
02:46:54,824 --> 02:46:58,304
That's not all that's disappeared.
With it, the concept of justice.
2747
02:46:58,384 --> 02:47:02,744
Objection. Mr. Garrison is insulting
the federal government-
2748
02:47:03,384 --> 02:47:04,944
Overruled!
2749
02:47:11,704 --> 02:47:13,784
So, what really happened that day?
2750
02:47:14,344 --> 02:47:16,864
Let's just for a moment speculate,
shall we?
2751
02:47:17,304 --> 02:47:20,024
We have the epileptic seizure...
2752
02:47:20,104 --> 02:47:23,944
...distracting the police and allowing
the shooters to get into place.
2753
02:47:24,904 --> 02:47:28,824
The epileptic later vanished,
never checking into the hospital.
2754
02:47:30,024 --> 02:47:32,984
The A-team goes to the sixth floor
of the Depository.
2755
02:47:33,144 --> 02:47:36,184
They were refurbishing the floors
of the Depository that week...
2756
02:47:36,264 --> 02:47:38,784
...allowing unknown workmen
in the building.
2757
02:47:39,464 --> 02:47:42,824
They move quickly into position,
minutes before the shooting.
2758
02:47:43,344 --> 02:47:47,744
The second spotter, talking by radio to
the other teams, has the best overall view.
2759
02:47:48,344 --> 02:47:49,544
The God spot.
2760
02:47:49,904 --> 02:47:54,504
B- team, one rifleman and one spotter
with access to the building...
2761
02:47:54,744 --> 02:47:57,544
...moves into a low floor
of the Dal-Tex building.
2762
02:47:58,504 --> 02:48:03,064
The third team, C-team, moves in
behind the fence above the grassy knoll...
2763
02:48:03,384 --> 02:48:07,784
...where the shooter and the spotter
are first seen by the late Lee Bowers.
2764
02:48:08,504 --> 02:48:10,424
They have the best position.
2765
02:48:10,984 --> 02:48:13,984
Kennedy is close and on a flat,
low trajectory.
2766
02:48:14,504 --> 02:48:16,424
Part of this team is a coordinator...
2767
02:48:16,504 --> 02:48:20,664
...who flashed security credentials
at people, chasing them from the area.
2768
02:48:21,704 --> 02:48:25,304
Probably two to three more men
are in the crowd.
2769
02:48:25,624 --> 02:48:29,104
Ten to twelve men.
Three teams. Three shooters.
2770
02:48:29,624 --> 02:48:34,104
The triangulation of fire Clay Shaw and
David Ferrie discussed two months before.
2771
02:48:35,104 --> 02:48:36,744
They blocked the plaza.
2772
02:48:37,144 --> 02:48:38,864
They know every inch.
2773
02:48:40,704 --> 02:48:44,304
They've calibrated their sights.
Practiced on moving targets.
2774
02:48:45,384 --> 02:48:46,584
They're ready.
2775
02:48:47,384 --> 02:48:50,544
Kennedy's motorcade makes a turn
from Main onto Houston.
2776
02:48:51,464 --> 02:48:53,464
It's going to be a turkey shoot.
2777
02:48:55,064 --> 02:48:57,064
They don't shoot him on Houston...
2778
02:48:57,144 --> 02:49:00,384
...the easiest shot for a single shooter
in the Depository.
2779
02:49:00,744 --> 02:49:04,344
They wait till he gets to the killing zone
between three rifles.
2780
02:49:05,544 --> 02:49:08,504
Kennedy makes the turn
from Houston onto Elm.
2781
02:49:09,304 --> 02:49:12,544
Slowing down to some 11 miles an hour.
2782
02:49:13,224 --> 02:49:16,904
The shooters across Dealey Plaza tighten,
taking their aim.
2783
02:49:18,624 --> 02:49:22,224
Waiting for the radio to say,
"Green! Green! "
2784
02:49:22,584 --> 02:49:24,864
Or, "Abort! Abort! "
2785
02:49:30,904 --> 02:49:32,584
The first shot rings out.
2786
02:49:33,464 --> 02:49:36,504
Sounding like a backfire,
it misses the car completely.
2787
02:49:36,944 --> 02:49:39,904
Frame 161, Kennedy stops waving
as he hears something.
2788
02:49:40,424 --> 02:49:42,984
Connally's head turns slightly to the right.
2789
02:49:43,264 --> 02:49:47,024
Frame 193, the second shot hits Kennedy
in the throat from the front.
2790
02:49:47,784 --> 02:49:50,984
Frame 225, Kennedy emerges
from behind the road sign.
2791
02:49:51,304 --> 02:49:54,584
He's been hit, raising his hands
to his throat.
2792
02:49:55,224 --> 02:49:57,384
The third shot, frame 232...
2793
02:49:57,584 --> 02:50:00,984
...hits Kennedy in the back,
pulling him downward and forward.
2794
02:50:01,304 --> 02:50:04,344
Connally, you will notice,
shows no sign of being hit.
2795
02:50:04,584 --> 02:50:08,504
He is holding his Stetson, which is
impossible if his wrist is shattered.
2796
02:50:08,584 --> 02:50:10,344
Connally is turning now.
2797
02:50:10,424 --> 02:50:12,784
Frame 238. The fourth shot.
2798
02:50:12,904 --> 02:50:16,064
It misses Kennedy and takes Connally
in the back.
2799
02:50:16,344 --> 02:50:19,144
This is the shot that proves
there were two rifles.
2800
02:50:19,224 --> 02:50:22,584
Connally yells, "My God!
They're going to kill us all! "
2801
02:50:22,824 --> 02:50:26,064
Around this time,
another shot misses the car completely...
2802
02:50:26,184 --> 02:50:28,664
...striking James Teague by the underpass.
2803
02:50:29,544 --> 02:50:30,744
The car brakes.
2804
02:50:30,984 --> 02:50:32,664
The sixth and fatal shot.
2805
02:50:32,824 --> 02:50:36,144
Frame 313, takes Kennedy in the head
from the front.
2806
02:50:37,584 --> 02:50:39,184
This is the key shot.
2807
02:50:39,784 --> 02:50:42,664
The President going back and to his left...
2808
02:50:42,864 --> 02:50:44,944
...shot from the front and right.
2809
02:50:45,864 --> 02:50:49,144
Totally inconsistent with the shot
from the Depository.
2810
02:50:49,304 --> 02:50:50,224
Again.
2811
02:50:53,984 --> 02:50:55,824
Back, and to the left.
2812
02:50:57,184 --> 02:50:58,944
Back, and to the left.
2813
02:51:00,264 --> 02:51:01,984
Back, and to the left.
2814
02:51:04,264 --> 02:51:06,024
So what happens then?
2815
02:51:08,344 --> 02:51:09,544
Pandemonium.
2816
02:51:12,344 --> 02:51:14,184
Let's go! We got him!
2817
02:51:19,464 --> 02:51:24,064
The shooters quickly disassemble their
various weapons, except the Oswald rifle.
2818
02:51:34,744 --> 02:51:38,024
Patrolman Smith rushes to the parking lot
behind the fence.
2819
02:51:38,664 --> 02:51:40,024
He smells gunpowder.
2820
02:51:40,104 --> 02:51:43,704
He produced credentials showing him
to be Secret Service.
2821
02:51:44,744 --> 02:51:47,304
Let's see your ID.
See anyone else up here?
2822
02:51:48,424 --> 02:51:50,704
I accepted that and let him go.
2823
02:51:51,624 --> 02:51:54,544
I regretted it. He looked like a mechanic.
2824
02:51:55,304 --> 02:51:59,304
He had on a sports shirt and pants,
but he had dirty fingernails.
2825
02:52:01,064 --> 02:52:03,864
Afterward, it didn't ring true.
But at the time...
2826
02:52:03,944 --> 02:52:05,904
...we were so pressed for time.
2827
02:52:06,744 --> 02:52:09,624
All Secret Servicemen
in Dallas are accounted for.
2828
02:52:10,384 --> 02:52:13,504
None were on foot in Dealey Plaza
before or after the shooting...
2829
02:52:13,584 --> 02:52:17,264
...till the Dallas Secret Service chief
returned at 12:55.
2830
02:52:18,024 --> 02:52:21,704
The Dallas police took at least 12 people
into custody.
2831
02:52:22,664 --> 02:52:24,224
No record of their arrest.
2832
02:52:24,304 --> 02:52:27,824
Men acting like hoboes
were pulled off trains...
2833
02:52:28,024 --> 02:52:30,384
...marched through Dealey Plaza,
photographed.
2834
02:52:30,504 --> 02:52:32,624
Yet there's no record of their arrest.
2835
02:52:32,744 --> 02:52:36,344
Men identifying themselves
as Secret Service agents were everywhere.
2836
02:52:37,224 --> 02:52:39,184
But who was impersonating them?
2837
02:52:39,464 --> 02:52:40,984
Where was Oswald?
2838
02:52:41,624 --> 02:52:45,704
Around 12:15, leaving the building
to see the motorcade...
2839
02:52:45,784 --> 02:52:48,744
...Carolyn Arnold sees Oswald
in the second-floor snack room...
2840
02:52:48,824 --> 02:52:50,944
...where he said he went for a Coke.
2841
02:52:51,624 --> 02:52:54,744
He was in a booth on the right side
of the room.
2842
02:52:55,224 --> 02:52:58,744
He was by himself as usual,
appeared to be having lunch.
2843
02:52:59,064 --> 02:53:01,944
I didn't speak to him,
but I recognized him clearly.
2844
02:53:02,264 --> 02:53:06,704
At the same time, Bonnie Ray Williams is
supposedly eating lunch in the sixth floor.
2845
02:53:07,224 --> 02:53:09,944
He's there until 12:15, maybe 12:20.
2846
02:53:10,704 --> 02:53:12,184
He sees nobody.
2847
02:53:12,824 --> 02:53:17,104
Arnold Rowlands, on the street, looks up,
sees two men in the sixth-floor windows...
2848
02:53:17,184 --> 02:53:20,544
...presumably after Williams
finished his lunch and left.
2849
02:53:21,144 --> 02:53:24,904
John Powell, a prisoner on the sixth floor
of the county jail, sees them.
2850
02:53:24,984 --> 02:53:26,384
Many of us saw them.
2851
02:53:26,464 --> 02:53:30,224
Everyone was hollering and yelling.
We thought they was security guys.
2852
02:53:30,904 --> 02:53:35,344
If Oswald was the assassin, he was
nonchalant about moving into position.
2853
02:53:35,944 --> 02:53:39,384
Later, he told police he was
in the second-floor snack room.
2854
02:53:39,664 --> 02:53:42,704
Probably told to wait there
by his handler for a call.
2855
02:53:44,264 --> 02:53:46,224
But the phone call never came.
2856
02:53:46,824 --> 02:53:49,384
Maximum 90 seconds
after Kennedy is shot...
2857
02:53:49,464 --> 02:53:53,224
...Patrolman Marrion Baker sees Oswald
in that second-floor lunchroom.
2858
02:53:54,664 --> 02:53:56,224
Is this man an employee?
2859
02:53:56,344 --> 02:53:58,984
Yes. The President's been shot.
2860
02:53:59,104 --> 02:54:01,064
The Commission would have us believe...
2861
02:54:01,144 --> 02:54:04,504
...that after firing three bolt-action shots
in 5.6 seconds...
2862
02:54:04,984 --> 02:54:09,264
...Oswald then leaves three cartridges
neatly side-by-side in the firing nest...
2863
02:54:09,464 --> 02:54:13,824
...wipes fingerprints off the rifle,
stashes it on the other side of the loft...
2864
02:54:14,824 --> 02:54:17,024
...sprints down five flights of stairs...
2865
02:54:17,144 --> 02:54:20,464
...past Victoria Adams and Sandra Styles
who never see him...
2866
02:54:21,224 --> 02:54:25,504
...then shows up, cool and calm, on the
second floor in front of Patrolman Baker.
2867
02:54:26,984 --> 02:54:30,024
All this within a maximum of 90 seconds
of the shooting.
2868
02:54:30,744 --> 02:54:32,664
Is this man an employee?
2869
02:54:32,784 --> 02:54:34,744
Yes. The President's been shot.
2870
02:54:34,904 --> 02:54:36,384
Is he out of breath?
2871
02:54:36,824 --> 02:54:39,264
According to Baker, absolutely not.
2872
02:54:39,624 --> 02:54:44,344
Assuming he is the sole assassin,
Oswald is free to leave the building.
2873
02:54:44,984 --> 02:54:49,184
The longer he delays, the more chance
the building will be sealed by police.
2874
02:54:50,024 --> 02:54:53,224
Is he guilty? Does he walk
out the nearest staircase?
2875
02:54:55,304 --> 02:54:56,944
He buys a Coke...
2876
02:54:57,184 --> 02:55:01,224
...and at a slow pace, spotted by Mrs. Reid
on the second floor...
2877
02:55:01,624 --> 02:55:04,024
...he strolls out
the more distant front exit...
2878
02:55:04,144 --> 02:55:05,704
...where cops have gathered.
2879
02:55:05,824 --> 02:55:08,744
Odd, since three shots were fired
from there...
2880
02:55:08,864 --> 02:55:11,704
...nobody seals the Depository
for ten more minutes.
2881
02:55:12,104 --> 02:55:14,904
Oswald slips out,
as do several other employees.
2882
02:55:15,224 --> 02:55:19,104
When he realized something had gone
wrong and Kennedy had been killed...
2883
02:55:19,624 --> 02:55:23,384
...he knew there was a problem.
Maybe even that he was the patsy.
2884
02:55:23,864 --> 02:55:27,904
An intuition, maybe. The President killed
in spite of his warning.
2885
02:55:27,984 --> 02:55:29,824
The phone call that never came.
2886
02:55:29,944 --> 02:55:33,104
Perhaps fear now came to Oswald
for the very first time.
2887
02:55:34,664 --> 02:55:37,784
Oswald returns to his rooming house
around 1:00 p. m...
2888
02:55:37,904 --> 02:55:40,184
...a half hour after the assassination.
2889
02:55:40,424 --> 02:55:42,024
A man shot the President!
2890
02:55:42,144 --> 02:55:44,984
He puts on his jacket,
grabs his. 38 revolver...
2891
02:55:45,144 --> 02:55:46,944
...and leaves at 1:04.
2892
02:55:47,544 --> 02:55:50,504
Earlene Roberts, the housekeeper,
heard two beeps on a car horn.
2893
02:55:50,624 --> 02:55:53,984
Two uniformed cops pulled up
while Oswald was in his room.
2894
02:55:54,104 --> 02:55:55,584
Like it was a signal.
2895
02:55:56,664 --> 02:56:00,904
Officer Tippit is shot between 1:10
and 1:15, a mile away.
2896
02:56:01,064 --> 02:56:03,544
And though no one saw him walking...
2897
02:56:03,784 --> 02:56:06,464
...the government says
Oswald covered that distance.
2898
02:56:06,584 --> 02:56:08,984
Giving the government the benefit
of the doubt...
2899
02:56:09,064 --> 02:56:12,064
...Oswald would've had to jog a mile
in six to eleven minutes...
2900
02:56:12,184 --> 02:56:14,824
...then commit the murder,
reverse his direction...
2901
02:56:14,904 --> 02:56:17,824
...and walk three-fifths of a mile
to the Texas Theater...
2902
02:56:17,904 --> 02:56:20,384
...and arrive sometime before 1:30.
2903
02:56:25,584 --> 02:56:27,224
It's also a useful conclusion.
2904
02:56:27,304 --> 02:56:29,744
After all, why would Oswald
kill Officer Tippit...
2905
02:56:29,824 --> 02:56:32,864
...unless he just shot the President
and feared arrest?
2906
02:56:33,424 --> 02:56:35,184
Domingo Benevides...
2907
02:56:36,704 --> 02:56:38,864
...the closest witness to the shooting...
2908
02:56:38,944 --> 02:56:43,024
...refused to identify Oswald as the killer
and was never taken to a lineup.
2909
02:56:43,464 --> 02:56:44,584
Acquilla Clemons...
2910
02:56:44,664 --> 02:56:48,384
...saw the killer and another man
go off in separate directions.
2911
02:56:48,704 --> 02:56:52,224
Mrs. Clemons was never taken to a lineup
or to the Warren Commission.
2912
02:56:52,824 --> 02:56:56,704
At the scene, Officer Poe marks
his initials on the shells...
2913
02:56:56,824 --> 02:56:58,944
...to record the chain of evidence.
2914
02:56:59,304 --> 02:57:02,104
Those initials are not
on the three cartridge cases...
2915
02:57:02,184 --> 02:57:04,584
...which the Warren Commission show him.
2916
02:57:04,904 --> 02:57:08,704
As early as 12:44, only 14 minutes
after the assassination...
2917
02:57:09,224 --> 02:57:13,224
...the police put out a description
matching Oswald's size and build.
2918
02:57:13,864 --> 02:57:18,544
Oswald is next seen by a shoe salesman,
Johnny Brewer, on Jefferson Avenue.
2919
02:57:19,264 --> 02:57:23,704
Oswald is scared. He begins to realize
the full implications of this thing.
2920
02:57:23,784 --> 02:57:27,424
He goes to the Texas Theater,
possibly a prearranged meeting point.
2921
02:57:27,704 --> 02:57:32,224
Though he has $14 in his pocket,
he doesn't buy the $0.75 ticket.
2922
02:57:32,544 --> 02:57:34,744
Brewer has the cashier call the police.
2923
02:57:34,824 --> 02:57:36,904
In response to that call...
2924
02:57:37,304 --> 02:57:41,464
...at least 30 officers in patrol cars
descend on the movie theater.
2925
02:57:41,784 --> 02:57:44,984
This is the most remarkable example
of police intuition...
2926
02:57:45,144 --> 02:57:47,224
...since the Reichstag fire.
2927
02:57:47,944 --> 02:57:49,184
I don't buy it!
2928
02:57:49,304 --> 02:57:53,304
They knew. Someone knew
Oswald would be there.
2929
02:57:53,864 --> 02:57:56,184
Brewer leads the cops into the theater...
2930
02:57:56,264 --> 02:57:58,304
...and from the stage, points Oswald out.
2931
02:57:58,384 --> 02:57:59,424
There he is.
2932
02:58:11,304 --> 02:58:13,584
Sir, can I get you to stand up?
2933
02:58:19,224 --> 02:58:23,584
I am not resisting arrest!
I am not resisting arrest!
2934
02:58:23,704 --> 02:58:25,184
They have their man.
2935
02:58:26,144 --> 02:58:28,904
It's already been decided in Washington.
2936
02:58:29,664 --> 02:58:32,104
When he is brought from the theater...
2937
02:58:32,384 --> 02:58:34,664
...a crowd is waiting to scream at him.
2938
02:58:34,904 --> 02:58:38,304
Lee Oswald must have felt like Joseph K.
in Kafka's The Trial.
2939
02:58:38,424 --> 02:58:40,664
He's never given reasons for his arrest.
2940
02:58:40,744 --> 02:58:43,784
He doesn't know the unseen forces
ranging against him.
2941
02:58:44,264 --> 02:58:47,864
At police headquarters, he was booked
for murdering Tippit.
2942
02:58:48,024 --> 02:58:49,784
No legal counsel was provided.
2943
02:58:49,864 --> 02:58:51,944
No record made of the questioning.
2944
02:58:52,104 --> 02:58:54,704
When the sun rises the next morning...
2945
02:58:54,824 --> 02:58:57,344
...he is booked for murdering the President.
2946
02:58:57,424 --> 02:59:01,224
The whole country, fueled by the media,
assumes he is guilty.
2947
02:59:01,784 --> 02:59:03,984
Under the guise of a patriotic club owner...
2948
02:59:04,064 --> 02:59:07,344
...out to spare Jackie Kennedy
from testifying at a trial...
2949
02:59:08,024 --> 02:59:10,424
...Jack Ruby is let into a garage...
2950
02:59:10,504 --> 02:59:13,304
...by one of his inside men
on the police force.
2951
02:59:14,144 --> 02:59:17,824
Oswald is brought out
like a sacrificial lamb...
2952
02:59:17,944 --> 02:59:20,984
...and nicely disposed of as an enemy
of the people.
2953
02:59:38,864 --> 02:59:40,744
Who grieves for Lee Harvey Oswald...
2954
02:59:41,624 --> 02:59:44,384
...buried in a cheap grave
under the name Oswald?
2955
02:59:45,424 --> 02:59:46,384
Nobody.
2956
02:59:53,784 --> 02:59:58,344
False statements and press leaks
about Oswald circulate the globe.
2957
02:59:59,464 --> 03:00:02,584
The official legend is created
and the media takes it from there.
2958
03:00:04,064 --> 03:00:07,864
The glitter of official lies
and the epic splendor of JFK's funeral...
2959
03:00:07,944 --> 03:00:11,144
...confuse the eye
and confound the understanding.
2960
03:00:12,384 --> 03:00:13,784
Hitler said:
2961
03:00:14,344 --> 03:00:17,464
"The bigger the lie,
the more people will believe it. "
2962
03:00:18,784 --> 03:00:22,184
Lee Harvey Oswald, a crazed,
lonely man who wanted attention...
2963
03:00:22,264 --> 03:00:26,624
...and got it by killing a President was
only the first in a long line of patsies.
2964
03:00:27,304 --> 03:00:30,144
In later years, Bobby Kennedy,
Martin Luther King...
2965
03:00:30,224 --> 03:00:32,784
...men whose commitment
to change and peace...
2966
03:00:32,864 --> 03:00:36,304
...made them dangerous to men
committed to war, would follow...
2967
03:00:36,824 --> 03:00:39,624
...also killed by such lonely, crazed men.
2968
03:00:40,504 --> 03:00:44,624
Men who remove all guilt by making
murder a meaningless act of a loner.
2969
03:00:45,904 --> 03:00:50,064
We've all become Hamlets in our country,
children of a slain father-leader...
2970
03:00:50,184 --> 03:00:52,664
...whose killers still possess the throne.
2971
03:00:52,864 --> 03:00:56,424
The ghost of John F. Kennedy confronts us
with the secret murder...
2972
03:00:56,504 --> 03:00:58,664
...at the heart of the American Dream.
2973
03:00:58,744 --> 03:01:03,024
He forces on us the appalling questions:
Of what is our Constitution made?
2974
03:01:03,824 --> 03:01:06,024
What are our lives worth?
2975
03:01:06,104 --> 03:01:08,024
What is the future of a democracy...
2976
03:01:08,104 --> 03:01:12,224
...where a President can be assassinated
under suspicious circumstances...
2977
03:01:12,304 --> 03:01:15,464
...while the machinery of legal action
scarcely trembles?
2978
03:01:16,544 --> 03:01:19,904
How many more political murders
disguised as heart attacks...
2979
03:01:20,144 --> 03:01:22,584
...suicides, cancers, drug overdoses?
2980
03:01:22,664 --> 03:01:25,224
How many plane and car crashes
will occur...
2981
03:01:25,384 --> 03:01:27,944
...before they are exposed
for what they are?
2982
03:01:29,544 --> 03:01:32,464
"Treason doth never prosper,"
wrote an English poet.
2983
03:01:33,104 --> 03:01:34,584
"What's the reason?
2984
03:01:35,264 --> 03:01:37,904
"For if it prosper,
none dare call it treason. "
2985
03:01:38,504 --> 03:01:41,464
The American public has yet
to see the Zapruder film.
2986
03:01:41,984 --> 03:01:43,024
Why?
2987
03:01:43,504 --> 03:01:47,544
The American public has yet to see
the real X-rays and autopsy photographs.
2988
03:01:47,624 --> 03:01:48,504
Why?
2989
03:01:49,504 --> 03:01:52,584
Hundreds of documents could help prove
this conspiracy.
2990
03:01:52,664 --> 03:01:55,744
Why are they being withheld
or burned by the government?
2991
03:01:56,704 --> 03:02:01,144
When my office or you, the people, asked
those questions, demanded evidence...
2992
03:02:01,224 --> 03:02:04,984
...the answer from on high
has always been: national security.
2993
