All language subtitles for JFK.Declassified.Tracking.Oswald.S01E02.WEBRip.x264-ION10

male narrator: Previously,
on "Tracking Oswald"...

- 54 years ago, the President of
the United States was murdered.

I, for one,
have never been satisfied

with the record on this.

narrator: CIA veteran Bob Baer,
launched a new investigation

into Lee Harvey Oswald,
and the assassination

of President John F. Kennedy.

- The official investigation
tells us that Lee Harvey Oswald

acted alone.

[crowd screaming]

The pieces never
fit together for me.

[dramatic music]

When I was at the CIA,
I investigated assassinations.

One man can't plan this
without support.

narrator: Following evidence
from newly declassified

government files, Bob
and former police lieutenant

Adam Bercovici discover
that Oswald visited

the Soviet Embassy
in Mexico City only eight weeks

before murdering
President Kennedy.

- Oswald met
with our main enemy,

then came back and assassinated
the president.

If someone met with ISIS,
and then committed mass murder,

can we really say
he acted alone?

*

narrator: The team descended
upon Mexico City

where they uncovered
new evidence...

- This is an ideal location,
for having an initial contact

with the KGB.

narrator: Suggesting
the Russians may have

worked with Oswald
to assassinate the president.

- What are the chances
of Oswald going to Mexico City,

getting to see the KGB,
then ending up with the guy

in charge of assassinations
for North America?

If Lee Harvey Oswald
was working with the KGB,

it would mean
the Soviet Union was responsible

for the assassination
of an American president.

*

narrator: November 22, 1963,

Lee Harvey Oswald opens fire
in Dealey Plaza,

forever changing
American history.

Unanswered questions linger,
breeding countless

conspiracy theories.

Many believe Russia, Cuba,
or even the CIA

supported Oswald
in his mission.

In 2017, the final documents
from the JFK assassination

are scheduled for release.

More than two million files
have already been declassified.

No one has analyzed them
until now.

A CIA veteran is on the trail
of the most notorious assassin

in U.S. history.

[horn honks]

*

- We have to find out what his
relationship with the KGB was.

I want a chronology
of Oswald's movements,

what we know to be fact
from the Warren Commission.

Let's go through the documents.

I want to see Moscow
through his eyes.

- All right.

narrator: Bob and Adam access
a central database

with more than
two million declassified

CIA and FBI documents,
as well as

all official government reports

pertaining
to the assassination.

*

[computer beeps]

- "Warren Commission Report.

He was met at
the Moscow Railroad Station."

He's met by Rima Shirokova,
taken to the Berlin Hotel,

stays there five days,
and here we have

an apparent suicide attempt.

*

Most people don't know
he tried to commit suicide.

narrator: Warren Commission
documents report

that Lee Harvey Oswald
visited Moscow

four years before
JFK's assassination,

on a mission to defect
to the Soviet Union.

*

In October of 1959,
a 19-year-old Oswald is met

by a state guide
named Rima Shirokova,

who checks him in
to the Berlin Hotel.

For five days,
Oswald awaits word on whether

he can become
an official Soviet citizen.

On October 21, 1959,
he's notified his visa

will expire in only days,
forcing him

to depart the country.

Oswald attempts suicide and is
rushed to the Botkin Hospital.

*

- So what did he do
after the suicide attempt?

What do you got?

*

[computer beeps]

Okay, "He was released
from the hospital on the 28th,

"accompanied by Rima...
driven to the Hotel Berlin

"in an Intourist car.

"After he said good-bye...
he checked out of the Berlin

and registered
at the Metropole."

The Warren Commission
never asked the question,

let alone got an answer,
for why Oswald left the Berlin

and went to the Metropole Hotel.

What did that mean?

*

After his stay
in the hospital, he moves

from his original hotel,
the Berlin, to the Metropole,

but what we don't know is why.

Did someone else move him?
Did someone intervene?

That's what we have to find out.

*

We are going into
hostile area,

what the CIA calls
a denied area.

Everywhere we go,
we are going to have

a surveillance team on us.

We are going to have people
reporting our movements.

Even though
more than 54 years have passed

since the assassination,
it's still a very

sensitive subject in Russia.

Moscow can be very dangerous.

We have to be careful
about whom we're talking to,

and we have to be aware of
our surroundings at all times.

*

narrator: During the 1960s,
Russia and the United States

are at the height
of their 43-year conflict.

As premier,
Nikita Khrushchev blocks

all contact with the West.

As the Cold War intensifies,
Khrushchev and the KGB

launch a new era of espionage,

creating cutting edge
technology

to monitor their enemies.

Soviet intelligence
actively works to recruit

Americans to their cause,
reportedly publishing

a secret manual entitled,

"The Practice of Recruiting
Americans in the USA."

*

- What I'm here to do
is find out if Oswald

was recruited by the KGB.

If he ends up working
with the KGB, and they plotted

to kill President Kennedy
together,

that's an act of war
against the United States,

and it's as true today
as it was in 1963.

- The structure of the place
hasn't changed since the '60s.

narrator: Bob meets up
with local investigator

Jim Kovpak
at the Metropole Hotel

to look into Oswald's
possible ties to the KGB.

- This would be for celebrities,
foreign dignitaries.

- He's got almost
no money at all.

He's not gonna stay here.

The Warren Commission
never came to Russia

to investigate this
for themselves.

If they did,
they would have seen

that Oswald moving
to the Metropole was suspicious.

There's only one way
he could have got in

the Metropole at this point.

It's the government.

Somebody made the decision,
we don't need this American

committing suicide here
or doing something else crazy.

Let's put him in the Metropole,
see if he does any better.

- Yeah, that, and it would
have been so isolating,

I imagine you could
probably get a lot

of good information on him.

- What's amazing is that
the KGB headquarters

is just, like, a block away.

After Oswald's suicide attempt,
I guarantee you

the KGB moved him
to the Metropole,

but the big question is,
was the KGB watching Oswald

inside his room?

I want to look
for hard evidence the KGB

was operating
inside the Metropole.

narrator: Bob and Jim secure
access to Lee Harvey Oswald's

original room from 1959.

- At this point, you have
to consider that the KGB

are saying, "Who is this guy?"

And one way to find out
is put him in this room,

listen to what he has to say.

They're vetting him to see if
he's a worthwhile recruitment,

what he's up to, and one way
to watch him is this room

where everything is--

every sound 24 hours a day
is monitored.

In those days,
the analog equipment was huge,

and the microphones were--
were large, so who knows

what they had in these walls?

Over 50 years later,
there still should be traces

of surveillance here.

narrator: Bob is armed
with wall-penetrating sonar

that can detect anomalies
within the walls,

including any remnants
of KGB eavesdropping devices.

- Let's check the walls.

*

narrator: Side-scanning radar
is a state of the art

technology that can detect
objects only millimeters

in diameter through a wall
up to six feet thick.

It sends pulses of energy
into the wall,

measures the time it takes
for the signal to return,

and creates an image
of the wall's interior.

*

- The walls haven't changed.

Those spaces in the walls
will still be there then.

- Yeah, I think
there'd be anomalies.

*

[device beeps]

There's a hole.

*

[device beeps]

I can imagine what it was like
for Oswald being locked up

in a hotel like this.

*

From Oswald's diary, he was,
you know, sitting in this room

with absolutely nothing to do.

As nice as this place was...

it was still a prison.

*

He must have been going
out of his mind at this point.

*

Yeah, look at that.

*

There we go.

Ooh, I'm seeing--I'm seeing
some big anomalies here.

[device beeps]

There we go.

[device beeps]

There's some hot spots
in the wall.

See all that down there?

narrator: The radar scan
seems to reveal

six separate cavities
within the walls,

each appearing
large enough to house

visual and audio
eavesdropping devices.

- For a former
intelligence officer,

this makes
a lot of sense to me.

I spent years running operations
just like this.

I'm now convinced
this is a room that's wired

for surveillance.

I believe KGB
was all over Oswald,

but the big question is,
were they simply keeping

an eye on the strange foreigner
who was acting erratically,

or were they attempting
to recruit an assassin

to murder the President
of the United States?

narrator: CIA veteran Bob Baer
has launched

a new investigation
into Lee Harvey Oswald

and the Kennedy assassination.

- I believe
that Lee Harvey Oswald

was the only shooter
in Dealey Plaza.

But just because he was
the only shooter

doesn't mean there weren't
others who could have aided him

in the assassination.

narrator: A declassified
CIA document reveals that

Oswald may have met
with the head of the KGB's

assassination squad
only eight weeks

before JFK's murder.

[gunshots and screaming]

While Bob is following
Oswald's trail in Moscow...

5,700 miles away, back at
the Dallas field office...

- This was never released.

This was not something
that was looked at seriously.

- When I look at this,
I see somebody who's lost.

narrator: Former police
lieutenant Adam Bercovici

works with former FBI
criminal profiler Steve Gomez

to reexamine
a key piece of evidence

originally introduced
by the Warren Commission:

the personal diary
of Lee Harvey Oswald.

- In terms of Oswald,
we have something

that is really a little treasure
in terms of an investigation.

We have his diary.

That's a window
into his personality,

a window into his soul.

So right here is gonna be one
of the early diary entries.

[dramatic music]

narrator: Lee Harvey Oswald
penned a personal diary

during his visit
to Moscow in 1959.

During that trip,
Oswald attempted to defect

to the Soviet Union,
but when his efforts failed,

he attempted suicide and was
rushed to the local hospital.

*

- This is the critical
diary entry because

it's a big moment for Oswald.
- Yes.

- It's when he finds out
that he's gotta leave.

"Eve 6:00, received word
from police official.

"I must leave country tonight
at 8:00 p.m. as visa expires.

"I am shocked.
My found dreams are shattered

"because of a petty official,
because bad planning.

"I planned too much.

7:00 p.m., I decide to end it."

*

"Soak wrist in cold water
to numb the pain..."

*

"And slash my left wrist..."

*

"Plunge wrist
into bathtub of hot water.

"I think, when Rima comes
at 8:00 to find me dead,

it will be a great shock."

- The thing that just pops out
from this diary entry, Adam,

is the part on the fourth line
where he says,

"dreams are shattered."

*

You can just see
his world is crumbling.

He's waiting, and he's ready
to go, for the phone to ring

to come down to meet
with the Soviets once again,

and it's not happening.

So it looks like all the
waiting and the nervous energy

is causing him
to now do something.

He now comes to the mindset
of "I'm gonna attempt suicide."

*

So what's also interesting
about what he writes

in this part of the diary
is the fact that

he had been planning this
for two years.

So let's think about this.

He is about--he's 19
when this is taking place.

So if he's been planning this
for roughly two years,

that takes him back to 17,
and he's in the military.

He's in the Marines.
You know, did something happen

in the Marine Corps
that started to trigger

this plan of one day he's going
to defect and become

a Russian citizen as he tried
to do and as he describes here?

- It also is consistent
in what we know about Oswald

is that nothing that he does
is really random.

He's a planner.

- To me, it appears
that he wasn't really trying

to commit suicide.
He didn't wanna die.

He wanted to make
some type of action

that was going to get
the Soviet Union's attention,

to get them to realize,
"Hey, don't throw me out

"of the country.
Let's--

You know, talk to me some more."

And by him then having
to go to the hospital,

they're not gonna throw him out.

narrator: Oswald's
next diary entry is dated

October 28, 1959,
written less than two weeks

after his attempted suicide.

- "Rima notifies me that pass
and registration office

"wishes to see me
about my future.

"We enter the offices to find
four officials waiting for me,

"all unknown to me.

"They ask how my arm is.
I say okay.

"They ask, 'Do you want to go
to your homeland?'

"I say no. I say I want
to reside in the Soviet Union.

They say,
'We'll see about that.'"

- You can bet money
that at least one of them,

if not more, are KGB agents.

They're gonna try to figure out
what do we have here.

- He's being brought into
the Soviet machine,

their way of dealing with people
that are trying to defect,

and maybe even their way
of dealing with people

that they're gonna turn.

narrator: As Adam and Steve
uncover possible contact

between Oswald and the KGB...

Bob Baer continues

his investigation
on the ground in Moscow.

*

- We need direct access.

There's just too much stuff
out there that we're not getting

the original version.

narrator: Bob and local
investigator, Jim Kovpak,

are attempting to track down
a KGB agent

with personal knowledge
of Lee Harvey Oswald.

- We need somebody
from that era.

- Straight to the source.

narrator: After Oswald's
suicide attempt

during his 1959 trip
to Moscow...

he was relocated to a hotel

seemingly under
heavy KGB surveillance.

The question is, why?

- I'm absolutely certain
that Oswald was moved

to the Metropole so the KGB
could better watch him,

but we still don't know
their motivations.

I'm gonna call in my network.

Jim's going to call his.

We'll see
if we can find somebody.

Let's get a list of people.

Anybody who knew
the United States,

knew American targets
at that time.

Finding a KGB officer active in
the '60s isn't gonna be easy.

It's a pretty small set.

You know a lot of these guys
aren't around anymore.

- [speaking Russian]

- If we can, we'll be
at the doorstep of finding out

whether the KGB
assassinated Kennedy.

Make it happen.

[ominous music]

narrator: Reaching out
to his intelligence network,

Bob secures a meeting
with Oleg Nechiporenko,

one of the only surviving
KGB agents with personal

knowledge of Oswald
who's willing to talk.

- I have no idea
what this guy knows

or what he'll
be able to tell me,

but he's our best chance
of understanding

what Oswald's connections were
with the KGB.

*

Oswald, when he comes in 1959,
why didn't the KGB

at that point
try to recruit him?

- [translating into Russian]

- Mm-hmm.

- They agree to give him
temporary residency

in the Soviet Union,
and basically the question

of his permanent residency
in the Soviet Union,

and citizenship, of course,
that is to be determined

within the period of one year.

*

narrator: Lee Harvey Oswald
initially arrives in Moscow

on October 16, 1959.

Three months later, he's moved
to the city of Minsk,

over 400 miles from Moscow,
where he's continuously

watched by the KGB.

According to Oleg,
this move is intended to delay

the KGB's long-term decision
about what to do

with the American.

In Minsk, Oswald works
at a radio and TV factory,

marries Soviet native,
Marina Prusakova

and has a daughter.

The Oswalds leave Minsk
in 1962 and return

to the United States.

*

- Wouldn't it have been better
to just throw him

out of the country?

- You didn't know.

- They were not sure yet.
They wanted the time

to watch him.
- That's perfect, yes.

- So they listened
to his apartment,

they put surveillance on him,
everything.

- After 20 years in the CIA,
I know how to assess sources,

and every bone in my body tells
me Oleg is a credible source.

The details he recalled line ue

of KGB operations and their
evaluation of potential assets.

Did you meet him
when he was in Moscow?

Oswald?
- No.

- You met him in Mexico City?

- Two months before
he assassinated Kennedy.

*

[horns honking]

narrator: Former CIA agent
Bob Baer has launched

an investigation
into Lee Harvey Oswald

following new evidence from
declassified government files.

A CIA document puts Oswald
inside the Soviet Embassy

in Mexico City
only eight weeks

before the murder
of President Kennedy.

Bob has secured unprecedented
access to a KGB agent

present at that meeting,
Oleg Nechiporenko.

- You met him in Mexico City?
- Yes.

- This puts the case
in a whole new light.

It's the closest we've ever been
to being in the room

with Oswald.

How long did you meet him for?

- What was his demand?

- [translating into Russian]

- Basically what he demanded
from them is he wanted

another visa to go back
to the Soviet Union.

What he told them is that
the FBI was harassing him,

and harassing his family,
that he couldn't get

any kind of decent work
in the U.S., and basically

he needed to go back
to the Soviet Union.

That's what he wanted.

- Who else did Oswald meet?

- [translating into Russian]

- Kostikov was from
Department 13.

We learned from the documents
that Kostikov was

the head of Department 13,
the section of the KGB

dealing with assassinations
and covert operations.

[dramatic music]

narrator: The KGB's
Department 13 was

a special branch
of highly trained personnel

reportedly handling operations
known as liquid affairs.

Though Valeriy Kostikov
publicly worked as a diplomat

for the Soviet Embassy
in Mexico City,

CIA documents report
that he covertly headed

this notorious section
of the KGB.

- And then that becomes
the matter of the KGB.

*

- He was crying?

- [translating into Russian]

- So he was crying,
he was nervous...

- Oleg explained to him that--
that they couldn't give him

a visa there because,
since he was a citizen

of the United States,
he told him you need to go

to our consulate
in Washington D.C.

- Washington.
- And what he also said

is that even if we could
make a visa for you,

because Oswald wanted
to leave as soon as possible,

it would take at least,
you know, a few months.

Oswald became very angry
about this, hands were shaking.

At this point they've already
explained to him

they're not giving the visa.

- What else did this guy
have on his mind other than

political violence?

*

And here's a guy
with a revolver,

comes into a consulate,
this is before metal detectors.

So did you think he was crazy?

- Is it possible,
and I have to ask the question,

that a part of the KGB
was meeting Oswald

to recruit him at the time?

- [translating into Russian]

- No.
- No.

- Not possible.
- No.

- What I learned from Oleg
was eye-opening.

The KGB looked at Oswald
as unreliable, unstable,

not good material for a recruit.

- He wasn't a tornado.
He was a time bomb.

*

[dramatic music]

- This--this KGB guy,
the guy that we got

the appointment with, Oleg,

he did admit that Kostikov
met with Oswald.

This confirms the CIA reporting.

narrator: CIA veteran Bob Baer
and former police lieutenant

Adam Bercovici have returned
to Mexico City armed

with new information about
Lee Harvey Oswald's meeting

with the KGB,
eight weeks before Oswald

murdered President Kennedy.

- The KGB looked at Oswald
as a ticking time bomb.

They knew they didn't want their
fingerprints on him in any way.

I think that's right 'cause
the Russians have better sense

than to conduct violence
inside the United States

in 1963 that any way
could be laid at their doorstep.

It just doesn't make any sense.

I've been working this case
for over a decade,

and I take my time
reaching any conclusions.

Eliminating the Soviets
as potential accomplices

to Oswald isn't something
I do lightly, but,

after visiting Moscow
and speaking with Oleg,

I'm now convinced the KGB
was not directly behind

the murder of President Kennedy.

We need to find out
what else Oswald was doing

in Mexico City.

*

narrator: At the outset
of the investigation,

Bob and Adam searched through
over two million declassified

government files
for new evidence

about Lee Harvey Oswald.

A CIA document
led the team to Mexico City.

In it, CIA director John McCone
instructs all employees

not to answer questions about
Oswald's time in Mexico City.

*

The team now looks for
a new lead from Oswald's trip.

- There's something more
to his timeline,

what he was doing
those five, six days

in Mexico City that we need
to get back into.

- Oswald, '63, Mexico City.

*

[computer beeps]

- Look at this.

Here's the title
of the document:

"Siliva Duran's Call
to the Soviet Consul Regarding

a North American
Wanting a Visa."

On 28 September, 1963,
Siliva Duran,

a Cuban Embassy employee,
called the Soviet consulate

saying she's got
a North American there

who has been
to the Soviet Embassy

and wishes to speak
with the Cuban consul.

Oswald met with the Cubans.

This file can completely
change the course

of this investigation.

We have to get
to the bottom of this.

- You know, if the Soviet Union
is public enemy number one,

then the Cubans are 1B.

- [speaking Spanish]

narrator: In 1959,
Fidel Castro rises to power

in Cuba, establishing
the first communist state

in the western hemisphere,

a clear and present danger only
90 miles from American shores.

Castro and Kennedy
become instant enemies,

and America wages a secret war
to overthrow the Castro regime.

*

- Siliva Duran, who is she?

*

- Let's see what we got.

*

[computer beeps]

- All right, look at this.

"CIA Cable Director 84216.

"Arrest of Siliva Duran
is extremely serious matter

"which could prejudice
American freedom of action

on entire question
of Cuban responsibility."

But look at this.

This cable is sent
the 23rd of November, '63,

literally within hours
of Kennedy's assassination.

I mean, this is incredible.

So Oswald is arrested.
The potential accomplice.

They're not even wondering
whether there's any connection.

They just go right
for the arrest.

She is clearly a key witness

which the Warren Commission
would have found essential

to explain what happened.

- All right,
do you wanna access that?

- Yeah, let's look at that.
- All right.

*

[computer beeps]

Hey, guess what.
Nothing.

[ominous music]

*

- You're telling me
that we're getting a blank

to the key witness
to the murder

of the President
of the United States?

A blank?
This isn't the key witness

that we're saying.
It's the key witness

the CIA's saying,
and the Warren Commission

doesn't talk to her.

The CIA put an arrest warrant
out for Siliva Duran

one day after the assassination,

but the Warren Commission
completely ignored

this piece of evidence.

Was this just an oversight,
or something more nefarious?

Why didn't the CIA talk to her?

If she was arrested,
she made a statement

to the Mexican police.

That means that the Mexicans
had a file on this woman.

We need to get back into
the police files at any cost.

- I agree.

*

narrator: Bob and Adam meet up
with historian Jorge Sanchez

at the National Archive
to investigate

this mysterious woman.

- This is the federal police,
right?

This is the date of the 23rd,
look at the length of that.

And how did they get so much
information within 24 hours?

- These are redacted.

- When you have a criminal case,
you don't redact,

so someone's playing
a little game here right now.

- When Siliva Duran is arrested,
she gives testimony

of her relationship with Oswald.

What does she say?

- He applies for a visa.
- Yeah.

*

- What you're telling me
is that Siliva Duran

was working
in the Cuban Embassy

and Oswald comes in
to ask for a visa.

She tries to assist him,
gives him all the documents

he will need, but he doesn't
have the required photographs

to complete
the visa application.

When she informs him
that they need the photos,

he turns...dramatic

and starts to make a scene
at the consulate.

[dramatic music]

*

Duran, in her statement
to the police,

says she met Oswald only once.

She never saw him again.

- That's what she says.

What's confusing for me is,
why would she have her own file

if she's just a clerk?

What's the explanation
for her arrest?

You don't go arrest a Mexican
working for the Cuban Embassy

simply because she took
a visa application.

- I think what's crazy about
this is the United States

asked for her arrest.

In other words,
the United States

had something against her,
either from telephone taps,

surveillance, or a source
in the Cuban Embassy.

They knew she was more
than a clerk.

It's explosive.
I mean, we have to find her.

We have to talk to Duran.

As the team begins their search
for this mysterious woman...

Bob's local investigator
verifies that Mexican police

believe Duran is alive
and in Mexico City.

- You know, we've got
some limitations here.

We're in a foreign country.

- Yeah, they're not gonna
much appreciate it

if we go over the line here.

Siliva Duran is one
of the last living witnesses

before the assassination.

We needed to track her down
and see if she'll tell us

the secrets she's been keeping
all these years.

*

- We need to find out
where she lives.

- Yeah, let's do a skip trace.

*

- A skip trace is something
that is used by both

law enforcement and private
investigators to locate people.

It's looking for utilities.

It's looking
for electrical bills.

It's looking for anything
that can--that that person

has put down in terms
of landmarks for us to find.

It gives us a chance to go out
and find specific places

that we can start
knocking on doors

and track those people down.

[phone beeps]

- I got the address.

narrator: The skip trace yields
two addresses in and around

the Mexico City
metropolitan area.

*

- Hello?

Yes, we're looking
for Mrs. Duran.

*

You don't know the name?
No?

*

Okay, thank you.

*

- Next right up here.

- Yep.

Well, there was something
about Siliva Duran

that flagged the CIA
and made them very suspicious,

but, in 54 years, she has not
shared the real story.

I suspect there's
much more to her story

than she's telling anyone.

We need to track her down.

*

narrator: The first address
associated with Duran

comes up empty.

The next location
is five miles away

in the southeast corner
of Mexico City.

*

- You guys hang way back.

Cameras in her face,
it's gonna be intimidating.

*

How, if you're 80 years old,
do you walk up here?

- [knocking on door]

- Do you hear her?
- Yep.

*

- Mrs. Duran?

*

Ms. Duran, this is Bob Baer.

We're doing an investigation.

Could I get some time?

We just want to come in
and talk for a few minutes.

- Please, just--
just five minutes.

*

All right, they're just
not gonna open up.

- Nah, I don't wanna force it.
Hiding from us.

- That's 'cause she's
got something to hide.

*

narrator: Bob and Adam
leave the apartment

they believe belongs to Duran.

- Where are you?

narrator: But they continue
their efforts.

The team tracks down Duran's
last known phone number.

- On the record, to tell us
exactly what happened.

She's agreed to meet us tonight,

so we'll head back to her place,
this time, with a plan.

All right, now, I'm gonna
get back to you in three hours.

All right.

narrator: The team is
about to make contact

with a possible accomplice
to Lee Harvey Oswald.

Siliva Duran has agreed
to speak on camera

for the first time
in more than 50 years.

*

*

The team has managed to
track down her current address

and has arranged
to speak with her.

- [knocking on door]

Wanna try a neighbor?

- Yeah.

*

- Do you know Mrs. Duran?

This is Mrs. Duran's
apartment, right?

- Okay.
- Okay.

- She--she got up and left.

That tells me a story.

If you're gonna come--
leave your apartment...

- Yeah.
- And--to avoid us,

she doesn't wanna say anything.

- Yeah, she's hiding out,
making a run for it.

- We got the right apartment,
and she just got up and left.

And he said he sees her,
and that she's not here.

- Yeah.

- For me, that tells me
the whole story.

She ran for it.

The fact that Siliva Duran
will not talk to us

makes me even more suspicious
about what she knows.

The fact that an 85-year-old
woman made a run for it

tells me she'll take
her secrets to the grave.

Now it's absolutely crucial
we find someone

who will tell us what she knows.

If we can find another witness,
someone who can shed light

on this mystery,
we could find evidence linking

the Cubans to the assassination
of John F. Kennedy.

That would change U.S. history.

Let's move on.
- Yep.

[dramatic music]

*

narrator: Next,
on "Tracking Oswald"...

- We're gonna go see this guy,
see if he'll talk.

- Let's see what
this guy has to say.

*

- We have to dig deeper
about Oswald's connections

with the Cubans.

My hunch is that Oswald's
first contact

started right here
in New Orleans.

The deeper we get into it,
the more that this guy

does not look like a lone wolf.

He had accomplices.

We got to figure out
what they were doing here.

This is incredible.

Oswald stormed
into the embassy saying,

"I'm going to kill Kennedy
for this."

This document could finally
reveal Oswald's motive

for the assassination
of John F. Kennedy.

- That is something else.
- This is explosive.
