Previously on
The Kennedys...

We're over there to beat
the commies, pure and simple.

Once again, your tremendous
grasp of the obvious

is contributing
nothing here.

On the contrary, if you had
a better grasp of the obvious,

we'd get some work done,
General.

It hasn't always been easy,

and it's never been boring.

The President has been shot.

When I get more details,
I'll call you back.

Does this mean that
you're gonna be President now?

Over 100 presidents,
Kings, and Ministers

from nearly every country
in the world

have come to Arlington Cemetery

to bury
John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

The details of these
last three days of mourning,

even to the bier upon which
the President's casket

was displayed in the Capitol,
were modeled after the funeral

of another fallen President,
Abraham Lincoln,

this at the instruction
of the First Lady.

Having lit the eternal flame

at the head
of her husband's grave,

Mrs. Kennedy, still composed,
still dignified,

leaves the gravesite
with the Attorney General.

Fire!

Hovering over this somber day,
the question still lingers--

why was
President Kennedy killed?

Did Lee Harvey Oswald
act alone,

or was he
part of a larger conspiracy?

A reasonable man

cannot honestly believe you,
Mr. Giancana,

when you say that you--
you can't recall that.

Would you tell us about
the murder of Leon Marcus?

Uh, did--did you have
any connection with that?

I decline to answer because

I honestly believe my answer
might tend to incriminate me.

Well, would you tell us
anything, anything at all,

about any of your operations,

or will you just, uh, giggle
every time I ask you a question?

I decline to answer
because I honestly believe

my answer might tend
to incriminate me.

I thought only little girls
giggled, Mr. Giancana.

Others have speculated

that foreign enemies
of the United States

could have been responsible
for the assassination.

Well, it's called
Operation Mongoose.

It won't be run out of
the White House or CIA.

"The overthrow and elimination
of Fidel Castro."

Jack, CIA's got people
in pipelines everywhere.

They're gonna
figure this out.

Well, I don't care.

I don't trust the bastards,
not after the Bay of Pigs.

You're gonna run point on this,
Bobby, through justice.

Well, let's hope we get
the bastard this time.

Well, you may
only get one shot,

so if you get him
in your sights, don't miss,

or else we may
end up in his sights.

On Sunday,

John F. Kennedy's fellow
citizens paid their respects

in the great Rotunda
of the Capitol,

most of them unaware that
another murder had taken place

in Dallas, as nightclub owner
Jack Ruby shot and killed

Lee Harvey Oswald,
the President's assassin,

in the basement of police--

I was watching that.

It's enough. Come to bed.

I'm not tired.

Bobby, you're exhausted.

I--
do they expect us to believe

that he just walked in there,
and shot him like that?

Bobby...

Oh, God.

Ethel, I've made
so many enemies.

They killed my brother
because of me.

No. No. Look at me.

What happened had nothing--
nothing to do with you.

Don't ever say that.

♪

Is that from
my brother's casket?

Jackie brought it
last week.

Bobby's here to see you. Hmm?

Thank you.

Hi, dad.

I heard, uh...

Jackie brought this by
for you.

That was nice.

These, uh, stars remind me
of "Romeo and Juliet."

You remember
your Shakespeare, dad?

"When he shall die,

"take him and cut him out
in little stars,

"and he shall make
the face of heaven so fine

"that all the world
will be in love with night,

and pay no worship
to the garish sun."

I made...

So many mistakes.

I always thought that I could
do whatever I wanted.

As long as we were on
the side of the Angels...

That nothing else mattered.

No one could touch us.

But I was wrong.

I was arrogant.

I'm so sorry, dad.

I'm so terribly sorry.

Mother.

Come with me, Bobby.

I've spoken to Ethel,

and she says that
she's tried to get you

to accept the solace
of the church, but you won't.

No, I want to
accept it, mother.

It's--it's just not...

There anymore.

Joe Jr...

Rosemary...

With all I've seen,

how could I bear it
if it wasn't for my faith?

His means may be mysterious,
but his ends aren't.

Pray the rosary with me.

I believe
in God, the father almighty,

creator of heaven and earth,

and in Jesus Christ,
his only son, our Lord,

who was conceived
by the Holy Spirit,

born of the Virgin Mary...

♪

Mrs. Kennedy shouldn't be
too long, sir.

Thank you.

General, I...

The President meant
a lot to me, sir,

and I will miss him
for the rest of my life.

He cared for you
a great deal, Abraham.

Excuse me, sir.

I'm glad you're here.

They're packing things up
already.

I don't know where...
We're going to go.

I don't want you to worry
about any of that.

I'll find you a home.

You have enough
to worry about.

Jackie, I'll never be
too busy for you.

It's the least I can do.

Make up
for Jack not being here.

You don't have to make up
for it.

I've been going through,
uh, everything in my head...

How things might have
turned out differently.

That's all I've been able
to think about.

If I had just leaned in...

An inch closer...

If I'd turned to him
a second sooner...

Why did we have to have
the top down?

You dedicated your life
to him, Bobby.

Uh, you--

you don't have
to make it up to anybody,

least of all me.

Jackie, you're my family.

You're
my responsibility now.

♪

Excuse me, ma'am.

Whenever you're ready.

At first I...

I didn't want to come
to this house.

Now I can't seem to leave.

Thank you.

Mrs. Kennedy.

Mrs. Kennedy.

Thank you, sir.

Mrs. Kennedy.

Thank you, Abraham.

Jackie.

Another sad day, my dear.

This house will never be
the same.

It was so nice of you

to let the children and I
stay on

these past two weeks.

You served our country

with nobility and grace,

and I hope that
when you're ready,

you continue to serve.

I know
I'm a just a caretaker.

You're the true keeper
of his memory.

Thank you, Lyndon.

I'm sorry.

Mr. President.

Lyndon.

Always.

God bless you.

Okay.
Wait a minute. Here we go.

Mrs. Kennedy! Mrs. Kennedy!
...America wants to know.

Jackie! Jackie! Right here!
Excuse me! Mrs. Kennedy!

Sir!
Sir, get out of the way.

Step back. Right there.
Sir, step back.

Did you see
President Johnson?

Is it true that the
President wanted you to leave?

Back up now.
Everybody, back up.

Can we get a shot
of you and the children?

Get off of there!
Just one shot, please!

Let her through! Officer,
get these people out of here.

Are you concerned
about your children's safety?

I--listen, I want
you people out of here.

This is private property.
Go home! Go home!

Mrs. Kennedy, how does it
feel to leave the White House?

She's a private citizen now!
Mrs. Kennedy!

She's a private citizen!
Go home! Go home!

I want that road blocked off whenever
Mrs. Kennedy is in residence.

We can't do that.

I don't want to hear
about what you can't do.

I want you
to take care of it!

I'm sorry, sir.
There's just too much--

Damn you! She's the First Lady
of the United States!

It's your job
to protect her!

I need you to help me
protect her!

Bobby! Don't.

I'm sorry.

Mr. Kennedy
didn't mean that.

I'll be outside, ma'am.

It's okay, my darlings.

Take them upstairs.

Bobby.

Whatever needs to be done,
Jackie, I will take care of you.

Hey, kid.

Hi, you.

I miss you, Bobby.

I miss
being close to you.

I miss you, too.

I'm so sorry.

I... I'm so so--

No, it's okay.
It's okay.

Hello?

Bobby...

There were people here.

What? Where?

On the property.
Photographers.

Jackie--
let's have a look.

Jackie, are you okay? Were they
inside the house with you?

No. No, the Secret Service
chased them away.

I'll be right there.
No, it's okay.

It just spooked me a little.
I'm not used to this.

No, no, no.
No, it's no--no problem.

Okay, I'll be there
in ten minutes.

Okay.

Okay.

Photographers
outside her house.

Bastards.

She all right?

Yeah, I think
she's fine.

Then why are you going?

She's all alone, Ethel.

Bobby, she has
the Secret Service.

I know. It's not the same.
She needs family right now.

Tell her you'll see her
in the morning.

She needs me now.

So do I.

Please don't.

Please don't do that.

See her in the morning.

I'm sorry it's so late.

I don't mind.

Thank you for coming over.

How are the children doing?

They're much more
resilient than we are.

Caroline loves her new school.

I have a parents' night
next week.

That'll be awkward.

Jackie, I can go
with you, if you...

Need someone there.

It's no trouble.

Bobby, I'm so grateful...

For everything.

It's fine.

No.

You have a family.

You're my family.

It's gonna be okay.

How's Jackie?

She's fine.

How are you?

Great.

Ethel, I know
you've been hurting.

Ever since Jack died,
I've been...

Feeling the same
in my own heart.

I've been hiding
from you and the children.

But I want you to know
that I'm here for you.

I'm here for you now.

You haven't been hiding.

You've been mourning,

and there's a difference.

Well...

Whatever it is,
it's over now.

I'm thinking about Jack.

If he saw me right now,
he'd say,

"Bobby, get off your ass
and do something."

I-I don't think I have
a choice, really.

I have to carry on for him.

I think I owe it to him to...

Make an effort to ensure

what he envisioned
for this country really happens.

And it is now obvious
that this is going to be

a huge election victory
for President Johnson

over Senator Goldwater--

perhaps the largest landslide
in American history.

In the Senate Race in New York,
which attracted

almost as much attention
as the national race,

Robert Kennedy,
the former Attorney General

and brother
of the late President,

won over the incumbent,
Senator Kenneth Keating.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Senator from New York!

Little runt
couldn't even vote for himself

'cause he's registered
in Massachusetts.

Contrary to what, uh, was said
during the campaign,

I-I do know
where the Hudson River is.

You and Lady Bird should be
celebrating, Mr. President.

Don't let this
bother you.

He rode in on my coattails.

When it looked like he might
lose, I campaigned for him.

I-I shall devote
all of my efforts

and whatever talents I possess
to the state of New York.

Bastard's gonna use the Senate
to come gunnin' for me in '68.

I am announcing today
my candidacy

for the Presidency
of the United States.

I run because it is now
unmistakably clear

that we can change these
disastrous, divisive policies

only by changing the men
who are now making them.

I do not lightly dismiss
the difficulties

and the dangers of challenging
an incumbent President,

but these are not
ordinary times,

and this is not
an ordinary election.

Finally, my decision reflects

no personal animosity
or disrespect

towards President Johnson.

I shall not seek

and I will not accept

the nomination of my party

for another term
as your President.

It's unbelievable.

But let men everywhere,
however...

It's gonna be ours, Bobby.

There's nothing
in our way now.

It's now clear
that Senator Eugene McCarthy

will defeat Senator Kennedy
in the Oregon primary.

Despite spending
roughly $1 million a week,

Kennedy was unable
to appeal

to the state's largely white,
largely Protestant,

and largely
middle-class voters.

This is
the first electoral defeat

ever suffered by a member
of the Kennedy family,

and it makes the upcoming
California primary...

Could you, uh, turn that off,
please?

...for the Senator
from New York.

Well, I think it's clear

that we, uh, lost here,
all by ourselves.

It had nothing to do
with the, uh, Protestants.

This was our responsibility.

This was our effort,
and we dropped the ball.

We had
lousy polling information,

we didn't motivate the precinct
captains to get out the vote,

and we can do better.
We can do more.

So I want, uh, each of you
on planes tonight to California,

and make, uh, damn sure
that we rally here,

that we show some balls,

that we go in there
and we win this thing.

Because if I have anything
to do with it,

this is the last election
a Kennedy's gonna lose.

All right, now go.
Go. Each of you, go.

We'll get it right
in California.

I know.

I'm going back to our room.
Are you coming?

No. You go.

I'm gonna... stay here
and get some work done.

Night.

You know, this wouldn't have,
uh, happened to Jack.

Bobby...

Jack had you.

Thanks.

Henry Cabot Lodge is
beating us by two touchdowns.

What the hell are you doing,
Bobby?

You're the campaign manager.
I know, dad,

and I would appreciate if you
would actually let me manage it.

Oh, so it's--it's my fault
we're behind?

No, but we're running
a statewide race here,

and you brought in your old
cronies from Charleston.

How am I supposed to work
with that?

Half of them think that Wilson
is still President.

You've got them
going around the neighborhoods,

handing out 20 bucks for coal.

It worked
when Jack ran for Congress.

Well, I know, but that was
right after the war.

The world's a different place
now, dad.

Money still talks, Bobby.

If the day ever comes when
I don't get my money's worth...

Well, the day is here, and we
need to recognize it, dad.

That's precisely
the reason why we're losing.

Well, what do you suggest?

Well, I-I think we've got a lot
of dead weight around here

and I wanna get rid of it.

If you don't wanna tell 'em,
I will. I'll do it.

And we got, uh, Jack
crisscrossing the state.

He's in Springfield
in the morning,

Plymouth in the afternoon,
back up to Northampton at night.

We're killing him.

We need to conserve his energy,

make the schedule
more efficient.

It still doesn't get us
more votes.

I know. Let me finish.

We have the best resource
in the world,

and we're not even using it.

What's that?
Us, family.

We should get mother
out there,

get her telling stories about
when Jack was little.

People love her, dad.

They--they--they--
they love that.

They wanna know
that we're a real family.

Your mother's
a natural campaigner.

We'll have tea parties.

"Tea with Rose Kennedy."

That's a good idea, dad.

When Lodge called to concede,
he said "I coulda beaten you.

I coulda beaten you
and the old man"...

"But that damn mother
of yours...

"And those
Kennedy tea parties..."

Thank you. Thank you.

You made the difference.

Hey, boys. Boys, come on.
Come on over here.

You, uh, take a photograph
of this.

One day
it may be worth something.

Mother, it's Bobby.

No, I'm fine,

but I need you again.

Pack your bags?

Of course, I-I-I could

tell you about all the times
that he was naughty

and I had to spank him
with a ruler.

Well, it must have worked,

because Ethel tells me
he's not naughty anymore.

It-it-it-it's very important

that you vote for him
for President.

He has ten children, you know,
and Ethel is pregnant again,

and the White House is
the only place large enough.

So it gives me great pleasure

to introduce my seventh child--

Robert Francis Kennedy.

I'd like to thank my mother

for the kind introduction.

That's what it's gotten down to
in this, uh, campaign,

when, uh,
some of the polls came out

that we weren't doing so well.

We--we--we took mother.

Make sure you tell 'em about

my ideas
for improving public schools.

I'm gonna tell 'em.

Because--because
it's very important

to capture
children's imaginations.

Yes, I know.
I-I-I know, mother.

I'm gonna tell 'em. Why don't
you give your own speech?

I--that's just it--
my brother and I--

that's the reason she never
introduced us before is,

we wouldn't go
on the same platform with her.

You couldn't possibly compete
with that.

No, no, I'm fine.
I'm just, uh...

A little lonely, I suppose.

All the, uh, hotel rooms

start to look the same
after a while.

How are the kids?
I miss them.

They're fine.
They miss you, too.

The campaign looks like
it's going great.

Yeah, the, uh, polling here
in California is great.

Um, the crowds have been
unbelievable, really.

I'm so glad for you.

Mm-hmm.
Is everything okay with you?

I wanted to talk to you
about something.

Sure. Anything.

What is it?

You know Onassis and I
have been seeing each other

for quite some time.

Yes, I know.
I know you have.

And he's asked me
to marry him.

That d-doesn't come
as a great surprise to me.

I know you don't...

Approve of him.

No, I-I don't... Jackie.

I think he's a collector.

He collects things, and that's
what you are to him.

You--you are the most desirable,
beautiful thing in the world

to, uh, to him.

I-I just--I don't--I don't
believe that in your heart

you could possibly love him.

I was in love with Jack.

I'll never
feel that way again.

Then why are you doing this?

I have to keep
my children safe.

He can protect them.

His island is...

A private world
where no one can get to them.

I mean, they've been hounded
by photographers

and people all their lives.

Don't they deserve...

A chance to just be children?

Of course they do.

I just want you to be happy.

Jackie,
you deserve to be happy.

Thank you, Bobby.

Could you, uh,

delay the announcement

until after the election?

You could cost me five states,
you know.

Of course.

I wasn't
going to say anything,

and I already spoke to Ari
about it.

He's not going to say anything
until after you're President.

I admire your optimism.

I love you, Jackie.

I love you, Bobby.

I gotta go.

Well, um,
I'll talk to you soon.

Bye-bye.

What I think is quite clear is

that we can work together
in the last analysis,

and that what's been going on
within the United States

over the period
of the last three years--

the divisions, the violence,

the disenchantment
with our society,

the divisions, whether
it's between blacks and whites,

between the poor
and the more affluent,

or between age groups
or the war in Vietnam--

is that we can start
to work together.

Yes.
We're a great country
and a selfless country

and a compassionate country,

and I intend to make that
my basis for running

over the period
of the next few months.

So it's my--my thanks
to all of you,

and now it's on to Chicago,
and let's win there.

This way, Senator.

We want Bobby!
We want Bobby!

We want Bobby! We want Bobby!

Out of the way.
Out of the way.

Right this way, sir.

Back up.
Everybody out of the way.

Hey,

Step back now!

Thank you. How are you?
Thank you very much.

Out of the way.
How are you?
