1
00:01:32,996 --> 00:01:33,985
Hi.
2
00:01:35,032 --> 00:01:38,024
Okay, here she is, folks. Kitty Dean.
3
00:04:22,868 --> 00:04:24,130
That a girl, Kitty.
4
00:05:27,767 --> 00:05:32,136
It's 38 degrees in New York this morning.
The time is 10:49.
5
00:06:04,972 --> 00:06:07,941
Should I call and get our table for lunch?
6
00:06:10,644 --> 00:06:12,134
Goodie-good.
7
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,847
And Big Mama? Bring lots of gossip.
8
00:06:16,784 --> 00:06:19,548
Everything about him is designed to rivet:
9
00:06:21,088 --> 00:06:24,751
The appearance, the demeanor,
and, of course, the voice.
10
00:06:25,860 --> 00:06:26,986
The voice?
11
00:06:28,529 --> 00:06:31,498
To the lucky person
who has never heard it...
12
00:06:31,999 --> 00:06:38,336
...I can only say imagine what
a Brussels sprout would sound like...
13
00:06:38,506 --> 00:06:41,532
...if a Brussels sprout could talk.
14
00:06:41,709 --> 00:06:43,006
He's so magical...
15
00:06:44,278 --> 00:06:48,442
...you soon forget the most unforgettable
sound in the world.
16
00:06:49,016 --> 00:06:52,248
Here's a word I loathe: Eccentric.
17
00:06:52,420 --> 00:06:57,824
Eccentric is a word that boring people use
to describe someone I think of as interesting.
18
00:06:57,993 --> 00:07:01,019
A great many people think of me
as eccentric simply because...
19
00:07:01,196 --> 00:07:04,859
...when I have my shoes polished
I have the entire shoe polished...
20
00:07:05,033 --> 00:07:07,024
...top, sides and soles.
21
00:07:07,869 --> 00:07:09,302
Some people think it eccentric...
22
00:07:09,471 --> 00:07:12,668
...that every morning I have my maid
iron my money.
23
00:07:13,642 --> 00:07:17,237
When I told Truman I had my maid iron
my money, do you know what he said?
24
00:07:17,412 --> 00:07:20,142
Here's what he didn't say, "How eccentric."
25
00:07:20,315 --> 00:07:23,876
Here's what he did say, "How wonderful!"
26
00:07:25,387 --> 00:07:28,550
You can forgive a person a lot
who really enjoys you.
27
00:07:29,324 --> 00:07:30,791
He's loads of fun wherever you go.
28
00:07:32,561 --> 00:07:37,521
He's the rarest thing in the world,
a good talker who is also a good listener.
29
00:07:37,799 --> 00:07:40,700
How could Leland
have been bored with you?
30
00:07:40,869 --> 00:07:43,929
Even someone who doesn't speak
English can look at you.
31
00:07:44,105 --> 00:07:47,734
He listened to me the way you'd listen
to announcements in a train station...
32
00:07:47,909 --> 00:07:50,605
...just enough to hear
if there's an emergency.
33
00:07:51,947 --> 00:07:56,247
Oh, well. He's with Pamela,
and I need to move on.
34
00:07:56,418 --> 00:07:57,749
Maybe you can...
35
00:07:57,919 --> 00:08:01,685
...but tout New York is dividing
into the Slim or Pamela camps.
36
00:08:01,857 --> 00:08:03,849
Babe and I are the head Slimites.
37
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,050
Tru Heart.
38
00:08:07,730 --> 00:08:09,220
Oh, have you heard about Tracy?
39
00:08:09,398 --> 00:08:11,457
Yeah. Having her eyes done, I know.
40
00:08:11,634 --> 00:08:16,128
Well, a little more than that.
She's gone off to have an abortion.
41
00:08:16,372 --> 00:08:19,364
Oh, who's the father?
I presume not Dick.
42
00:08:19,976 --> 00:08:22,274
Chas Fitzgerald.
43
00:08:22,445 --> 00:08:24,379
Oh, perfect. Does Dick know?
44
00:08:24,547 --> 00:08:26,879
I think she should just tell Dick it's his.
45
00:08:27,049 --> 00:08:29,483
- She can't. Dick's infertile.
- What?
46
00:08:29,986 --> 00:08:34,389
- Everybody knows that.
- Well, I'm sure they do now.
47
00:08:34,557 --> 00:08:36,047
Did you see the paper?
48
00:08:36,225 --> 00:08:41,128
Yes. There's a story that's stuck in my teeth
like a little piece of pull candy.
49
00:08:41,297 --> 00:08:42,559
What is it?
50
00:08:43,833 --> 00:08:47,234
Well, these well-to-do farm people
out in Kansas...
51
00:08:47,403 --> 00:08:52,272
...were murdered in the middle of the night
in the most gruesome way imaginable.
52
00:08:52,441 --> 00:08:55,740
- Do they have any idea who did it?
- No idea.
53
00:08:55,912 --> 00:08:58,608
But that won't affect the piece
I want to write for you.
54
00:08:58,781 --> 00:09:01,909
I want to explore how a crime
like this affects a town...
55
00:09:02,084 --> 00:09:04,518
...where everyone trusts each other.
56
00:09:04,687 --> 00:09:07,747
It may be preferable that we don't know
the identity of the killers.
57
00:09:07,924 --> 00:09:12,486
Exactly. Because what I imagine everyone
is now afraid of is:
58
00:09:12,662 --> 00:09:15,655
"Who among us did this horrible thing?"
59
00:09:15,832 --> 00:09:20,769
It used to be you'd look at someone
and think, "There's old Mr. Busybody."
60
00:09:21,004 --> 00:09:22,494
Now you think...
61
00:09:22,673 --> 00:09:24,300
..."Did you do it?"
62
00:09:24,474 --> 00:09:27,500
Oh, I can't bear the thought of you
going to Kansas.
63
00:09:27,678 --> 00:09:29,703
Whom will I talk to?
64
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,008
Oh, that reminds me.
Did you hear about Tracy?
65
00:09:33,183 --> 00:09:35,845
- The eyes?
- More.
66
00:09:36,019 --> 00:09:37,509
Abortion.
67
00:09:37,688 --> 00:09:41,124
Oh, I just saw her at Sotheby's.
She bought an adorable Degas.
68
00:09:41,291 --> 00:09:42,986
I wanted it for the guest bath...
69
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:47,187
...but Bill wants to put the little
Giacometti man we have in the hall there.
70
00:09:47,364 --> 00:09:51,198
Tell him nobody wants to go to the bathroom
and find a little man in there.
71
00:09:51,368 --> 00:09:55,998
- I know it from bitter personal experience.
- T-Bone.
72
00:09:56,173 --> 00:09:58,698
How did you find out about Tracy?
73
00:09:58,875 --> 00:10:02,743
Slim. But I'm absolutely sworn
to secrecy.
74
00:10:02,913 --> 00:10:07,316
I'm only telling you
because you're my dearest friend.
75
00:10:07,818 --> 00:10:13,256
Nelle, as my oldest and dearest friend,
do you think the Kansas thing is good?
76
00:10:13,423 --> 00:10:14,754
Are you joking?
77
00:10:14,925 --> 00:10:18,725
That small town stuff,
that suspicion, that gossip?
78
00:10:18,895 --> 00:10:21,989
That is your world as much as this,
maybe even more.
79
00:10:23,166 --> 00:10:26,068
- How were they killed?
- Shotgun.
80
00:10:26,404 --> 00:10:29,896
But there's a caretaker not a hundred yards
from the house.
81
00:10:30,074 --> 00:10:33,510
How could he not hear four gunshots
in the dead of night?
82
00:10:33,678 --> 00:10:36,738
Maybe he did it.
Did you consider that?
83
00:10:36,914 --> 00:10:39,747
Maybe. Though the victims
were bound and gagged...
84
00:10:39,917 --> 00:10:42,943
...which suggests at least two
in the killing party...
85
00:10:43,121 --> 00:10:45,715
...one with the gun
to make them cooperate...
86
00:10:45,890 --> 00:10:50,020
...and one to tie them up
and make them sorry they cooperated.
87
00:10:50,762 --> 00:10:53,094
The father and boy were shot
in the basement...
88
00:10:53,264 --> 00:10:55,562
...the mother and girl in their beds.
89
00:10:55,867 --> 00:10:59,598
- How do you know all this?
- I called the D.A.
90
00:10:59,937 --> 00:11:01,802
May I tell him who's calling, please?
91
00:11:01,973 --> 00:11:04,305
Yes, dear. This is Truman Capote.
92
00:11:04,475 --> 00:11:07,808
I'm sorry. The district attorney
doesn't take calls from strange women.
93
00:11:10,615 --> 00:11:12,207
And what did you say?
94
00:11:12,750 --> 00:11:15,082
Who says I'm strange?
95
00:11:17,221 --> 00:11:21,555
They can judge for themselves soon enough.
I'm going down there in a week.
96
00:11:22,226 --> 00:11:25,059
Which of your pillbox hats
do you think they'll like best?
97
00:11:27,165 --> 00:11:31,465
Why didn't Jack come tonight?
If he's your fella, he's always welcome.
98
00:11:32,270 --> 00:11:33,601
Truman and I...
99
00:11:35,074 --> 00:11:38,134
...had a taste for one another's company
above all others...
100
00:11:38,444 --> 00:11:42,813
...but we weren't a together-wherever-we-go
couple. He's very social.
101
00:11:43,582 --> 00:11:44,913
I'm not...
102
00:11:46,151 --> 00:11:49,518
...especially with that crowd.
103
00:11:49,688 --> 00:11:51,519
Jack didn't...
104
00:11:52,257 --> 00:11:53,918
...approve of us.
105
00:11:54,093 --> 00:11:57,426
He has the social graces of a syringe.
106
00:11:57,596 --> 00:12:01,828
Jack is just so iron, you know,
he's so, "That's that."
107
00:12:02,935 --> 00:12:04,527
Before he knew Truman...
108
00:12:04,703 --> 00:12:08,833
...he was married to a darling actress
named Joan McCracken.
109
00:12:09,007 --> 00:12:13,501
They were dancers together in Oklahoma!
And he was mad for her.
110
00:12:14,446 --> 00:12:17,506
And then the war came,
and he went away and he came back.
111
00:12:17,683 --> 00:12:20,675
And she told him that she'd had an affair.
112
00:12:20,853 --> 00:12:23,686
Well, he was so humiliated...
113
00:12:23,856 --> 00:12:27,314
...that not only did he end
their marriage that night...
114
00:12:27,493 --> 00:12:31,793
...but he stopped sleeping with women
altogether and he switched to men.
115
00:12:32,064 --> 00:12:33,361
Can you imagine?
116
00:12:33,532 --> 00:12:38,060
Curing your distaste for infidelity
by turning to men?
117
00:12:40,672 --> 00:12:43,641
What if one of the people
you interview is the killer?
118
00:12:43,809 --> 00:12:45,572
And what if he thinks you know?
119
00:12:45,744 --> 00:12:48,543
He's already committed four murders,
you think he'll spare you?
120
00:12:48,715 --> 00:12:52,378
Honey, is this your funny way of saying
you're worried about me?
121
00:12:52,552 --> 00:12:55,146
- Doesn't it seem dangerous?
- Come with me, then.
122
00:12:55,321 --> 00:12:57,915
I can't. I'm trying to write my book.
123
00:12:58,091 --> 00:13:00,559
Well, then it's o sole mio, off I go!
124
00:13:01,761 --> 00:13:05,925
- I don't want anything to happen to you.
- Honey, I'm indestructible.
125
00:13:06,699 --> 00:13:10,726
- Much to everyone's regret.
- Not mine.
126
00:13:12,405 --> 00:13:14,771
Come with me. Your book's all done.
127
00:13:14,941 --> 00:13:16,272
Well, I am intrigued...
128
00:13:16,442 --> 00:13:20,173
...but I want to get started on my new book
before Mockingbird comes out.
129
00:13:22,282 --> 00:13:25,410
How near did you say the caretaker lived
to the main house?
130
00:13:27,020 --> 00:13:28,385
Nelle grew up with him in Alabama.
131
00:13:29,455 --> 00:13:33,255
She based the other little boy in
To Kill Mockingbird on Truman.
132
00:13:33,426 --> 00:13:36,452
Aptly enough, she named the child Dill.
133
00:13:36,629 --> 00:13:38,927
People always mention his effervescence...
134
00:13:40,967 --> 00:13:45,028
...but one must remember that at the center
of any bright flame...
135
00:13:45,205 --> 00:13:48,902
...there's always that little touch of blue.
136
00:13:51,277 --> 00:13:54,041
Truman's parents deserted him
at an early age...
137
00:13:54,214 --> 00:13:57,776
...leaving him with elderly relations
in my town.
138
00:13:58,152 --> 00:14:02,248
And Truman always disguised his shame
over the absence of his parents...
139
00:14:02,423 --> 00:14:06,621
...with grand tales
of adventure and glory.
140
00:14:08,229 --> 00:14:11,221
"My daddy can't be here,
he's an aviator."
141
00:14:11,832 --> 00:14:15,563
"My mother's a photographic subject,
but they're coming for me"...
142
00:14:15,736 --> 00:14:18,500
...he would always say.
"They're coming for me."
143
00:14:19,607 --> 00:14:22,132
Every year at Christmas...
144
00:14:22,309 --> 00:14:26,143
...our elementary school did a pageant
through the center of town.
145
00:14:26,313 --> 00:14:31,250
And one year, Truman wrote his parents
that he was the star of the pageant...
146
00:14:31,752 --> 00:14:34,812
...though he was only
a snowflake like me.
147
00:14:35,522 --> 00:14:37,990
But, no matter, it worked.
148
00:14:39,126 --> 00:14:42,653
They wired him to say they'd take
the train from New orleans...
149
00:14:42,830 --> 00:14:46,596
...and get there just in time
for the pageant. They even said...
150
00:14:46,767 --> 00:14:50,430
...they'd stand right by the cannon
in the square so they could cheer him on.
151
00:14:51,005 --> 00:14:57,001
Well, we marched through town
and as we got closer to that cannon...
152
00:14:57,177 --> 00:15:01,113
...I could see him straining
to see his parents.
153
00:15:01,882 --> 00:15:05,943
When we got to that cannon,
he stopped...
154
00:15:06,620 --> 00:15:10,785
...forgetting we were supposed
to be marching in time to the music.
155
00:15:10,959 --> 00:15:13,519
He stopped and he stared.
156
00:15:18,199 --> 00:15:19,962
They had not come.
157
00:15:24,873 --> 00:15:27,637
I thought for a minute he might break.
158
00:15:30,578 --> 00:15:35,174
And then he threw his arms up in the air...
159
00:15:35,383 --> 00:15:38,147
...and twirled himself all the way over.
160
00:15:42,924 --> 00:15:44,721
A cartwheel.
161
00:15:46,995 --> 00:15:49,828
And then again. And again...
162
00:15:50,832 --> 00:15:53,062
...all the way down the street...
163
00:15:54,936 --> 00:15:57,063
...till his tears were gone.
164
00:15:57,706 --> 00:15:59,571
Truman adored Nelle.
165
00:15:59,741 --> 00:16:03,871
She and Jack were just about
his only non-society friends.
166
00:16:04,546 --> 00:16:07,743
I will say it stung him
when she won the Pulitzer.
167
00:16:08,016 --> 00:16:12,919
He might not have minded her winning one,
but only if he'd already won two.
168
00:16:13,355 --> 00:16:15,983
I've always been interested in crime.
169
00:16:16,291 --> 00:16:19,284
Daddy was a lawyer, and sister too.
170
00:16:19,462 --> 00:16:21,692
I studied the law as well...
171
00:16:22,064 --> 00:16:27,001
...but I either lost my nerve
or came to my senses before taking the bar.
172
00:16:27,403 --> 00:16:30,395
But when Truman asked me
to go to Kansas...
173
00:16:31,307 --> 00:16:33,798
...it was deep calling to deep.
174
00:17:11,547 --> 00:17:13,378
Detective Dewey!
175
00:17:13,549 --> 00:17:16,211
- Do you have any leads yet?
- Nothing I can discuss.
176
00:17:16,385 --> 00:17:18,080
- Detective Dewey!
- Jimmy.
177
00:17:18,254 --> 00:17:20,347
Yeah. Will you confirm that there is
more than one killer?
178
00:17:20,523 --> 00:17:21,387
I will not.
179
00:17:21,557 --> 00:17:25,015
Well, of course there was more than one,
unless the killer was a hypnotist.
180
00:17:25,194 --> 00:17:26,752
Beg your pardon, ma'am?
181
00:17:27,296 --> 00:17:31,028
It's illogical to suppose
there's only one killer.
182
00:17:31,201 --> 00:17:33,567
The Clutters were tied up.
To tie them up...
183
00:17:33,837 --> 00:17:35,270
...he'd have to put his gun down.
184
00:17:35,439 --> 00:17:39,102
Once he put the gun down,
the Clutters would run for the hills.
185
00:17:39,276 --> 00:17:42,439
- I don't believe I know who you are.
- Or what.
186
00:17:44,214 --> 00:17:46,273
I'm from out of town.
187
00:17:46,450 --> 00:17:49,681
- What's your paper?
- Ladies Home Journal?
188
00:17:49,853 --> 00:17:53,254
Oh, I'm not a reporter. I'm a writer.
189
00:17:54,991 --> 00:17:56,618
May I see your press card?
190
00:17:56,793 --> 00:17:59,819
Good heavens,
I don't carry any such thing.
191
00:18:00,130 --> 00:18:03,622
But I do have a passport
back at my hotel room.
192
00:18:03,900 --> 00:18:06,733
Would you like to come back
and look at my little picture?
193
00:18:09,139 --> 00:18:11,471
I'll need not only the facts of the case...
194
00:18:11,641 --> 00:18:15,407
...but how this terrible crime
has eaten away at the foundation of trust...
195
00:18:15,579 --> 00:18:17,171
...that makes up your community.
196
00:18:17,347 --> 00:18:20,145
- I see. No.
- And l... What?
197
00:18:20,317 --> 00:18:22,911
No reporter has special access.
198
00:18:23,086 --> 00:18:27,580
Sir, I'm not writing a news story.
I'm from The New Yorker magazine.
199
00:18:27,757 --> 00:18:30,851
I'm writing a psychological study
of a village...
200
00:18:31,027 --> 00:18:34,087
...and how that place is affected
by a vicious crime.
201
00:18:34,264 --> 00:18:36,994
I will not be careless in my depiction.
202
00:18:37,167 --> 00:18:40,194
I shall labor over every word, every sound.
203
00:18:40,371 --> 00:18:42,601
The final result must be just so...
204
00:18:42,773 --> 00:18:45,606
...as dazzling and unique
as a Faberg� egg.
205
00:18:45,776 --> 00:18:47,437
Right. And I got a crime to solve.
206
00:18:47,612 --> 00:18:50,342
But I don't care whether the crime
is solved or not.
207
00:18:50,515 --> 00:18:52,107
I sure as hell care.
208
00:18:52,283 --> 00:18:56,049
The Clutters went to our church.
They were friends of my family's.
209
00:18:56,220 --> 00:18:57,812
No access.
210
00:18:59,357 --> 00:19:02,326
Oh, you are very, very foxy.
211
00:19:02,660 --> 00:19:05,458
I can see I'm gonna have
to work extra hard...
212
00:19:05,630 --> 00:19:08,622
...to get around
that foxy manner of yours.
213
00:19:08,799 --> 00:19:12,530
Isn't he foxy?
But don't you worry, I...
214
00:19:15,706 --> 00:19:18,800
It was lovely how you didn't care
whether or not the murder was solved.
215
00:19:18,976 --> 00:19:20,409
- Lovely.
- Quiet.
216
00:19:20,578 --> 00:19:22,375
Would you folks care for a cocktail?
217
00:19:22,547 --> 00:19:24,037
Yes, a gin and tonic, please.
218
00:19:24,215 --> 00:19:25,682
I'll have J&B on the rocks...
219
00:19:25,850 --> 00:19:29,217
...with a tiny curl of lemon
and a splash and a half of water.
220
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,314
A what, on the rocks?
221
00:19:32,490 --> 00:19:33,980
J&B.
222
00:19:34,392 --> 00:19:36,758
It's a type of Scotch, dear.
223
00:19:38,162 --> 00:19:40,494
You want me to see if we've got any?
224
00:19:40,765 --> 00:19:42,892
That would be a wonderful beginning.
225
00:19:43,067 --> 00:19:44,193
Yes, ma'am.
226
00:19:47,004 --> 00:19:50,565
I think we need to come in
a little under the radar here.
227
00:19:50,741 --> 00:19:52,403
I know where you are headed...
228
00:19:52,578 --> 00:19:56,446
...but you of all people know how impossible
it is for me to modify myself.
229
00:19:56,615 --> 00:19:59,175
I'm not saying get married and have kids...
230
00:19:59,351 --> 00:20:01,876
...but maybe come in
on little cat's paws.
231
00:20:02,054 --> 00:20:06,423
It's no use.
This cat has long, noisy nails.
232
00:20:06,592 --> 00:20:07,456
Anyway...
233
00:20:07,626 --> 00:20:11,255
...l'll call Dewey's office in the morning
and request a proper interview.
234
00:20:11,430 --> 00:20:13,557
- It might better suit his vanity.
- Thank you.
235
00:20:13,732 --> 00:20:16,064
- Let's start talking...
- Thank you. Thank you.
236
00:20:16,234 --> 00:20:17,394
Thank you.
237
00:20:17,569 --> 00:20:19,867
In the meantime,
let's start talking to people.
238
00:20:20,038 --> 00:20:21,903
We don't need his blessing for that.
239
00:20:22,074 --> 00:20:24,599
I think we should just speak
to people on the street.
240
00:20:24,776 --> 00:20:29,076
Yes, and in our nicest way, the way
that would most put people at ease, say...
241
00:20:29,247 --> 00:20:30,441
Madam!
242
00:20:31,283 --> 00:20:35,549
May we ask you about the gruesome murders
out at the Clutter home?
243
00:20:42,461 --> 00:20:45,294
Maybe you should drop
the word "gruesome."
244
00:20:49,301 --> 00:20:50,495
Sir!
245
00:20:50,836 --> 00:20:52,098
Sir!
246
00:20:54,306 --> 00:20:56,137
Excuse me, sir.
247
00:20:56,308 --> 00:21:01,245
My friend and I would like to talk to you
about the tragic events of November 15th.
248
00:21:01,613 --> 00:21:02,979
Sorry, ladies.
249
00:21:05,852 --> 00:21:08,946
Do you think everyone keeps calling me
"lady" to be mean...
250
00:21:09,122 --> 00:21:11,488
...or can they honestly not tell?
251
00:21:12,158 --> 00:21:16,754
I know I'm not Charles Atlas,
but even Ethel Merman doesn't have this.
252
00:21:16,929 --> 00:21:18,988
No. Hers is thicker.
253
00:21:26,572 --> 00:21:28,130
Mr. Capote.
254
00:21:30,877 --> 00:21:33,141
Is this all? No messages?
255
00:21:33,980 --> 00:21:35,174
No, sir.
256
00:21:36,182 --> 00:21:40,710
I simply don't understand why
Alvin Dewey won't return my calls.
257
00:21:40,887 --> 00:21:43,378
I've telephoned three times.
258
00:21:52,865 --> 00:21:54,162
Nelle!
259
00:21:54,333 --> 00:21:56,665
Care package from Babe!
260
00:21:56,836 --> 00:21:58,827
It's beluga!
261
00:22:02,075 --> 00:22:04,737
Let's get some Ritz crackers
and eat it right now.
262
00:22:04,911 --> 00:22:08,108
Let's. And you know what I think
you should do tomorrow?
263
00:22:08,281 --> 00:22:10,249
Go see the Clutter place.
264
00:22:10,416 --> 00:22:14,751
Honey, if Alvin Dewey won't return my calls,
I'll never see the house.
265
00:22:14,922 --> 00:22:17,618
You know everybody on the planet.
Call somebody.
266
00:22:18,759 --> 00:22:23,093
And please tell the duke and duchess
I am sick to miss the dance.
267
00:22:24,064 --> 00:22:25,554
I will.
268
00:22:25,799 --> 00:22:29,599
Bennett hears wonderful things
about your book.
269
00:22:30,270 --> 00:22:32,295
I almost don't care what the critics say...
270
00:22:32,473 --> 00:22:34,873
...as long as I can be allowed
to write another.
271
00:22:35,042 --> 00:22:39,775
Your dream of being the
Jane Austen of Alabama will come true.
272
00:22:40,214 --> 00:22:43,206
Anyway, Bennett knows
the head of Kansas University...
273
00:22:43,383 --> 00:22:45,908
...who knows the Clutters' lawyer.
274
00:23:13,247 --> 00:23:15,078
The killers came in this way.
275
00:25:04,860 --> 00:25:06,418
Any messages?
276
00:25:08,864 --> 00:25:10,923
Princess Margaret...
277
00:25:11,533 --> 00:25:13,592
...and No�l Coward.
278
00:25:16,272 --> 00:25:18,604
No Dewey. Again.
279
00:25:20,309 --> 00:25:22,277
They're in both ways over there.
280
00:25:22,444 --> 00:25:25,538
Right, but this particular form
goes under last name.
281
00:25:25,714 --> 00:25:28,274
- That whole stack?
- That's the one, yeah.
282
00:25:35,624 --> 00:25:37,455
Is this a good time?
283
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,224
Yeah. Come on in.
284
00:25:44,166 --> 00:25:45,327
Ma'am.
285
00:25:46,836 --> 00:25:48,804
What can I do for you folks?
286
00:25:48,972 --> 00:25:49,996
Well...
287
00:25:51,007 --> 00:25:55,171
...you can begin by serving me
a large slice of humble pie.
288
00:25:55,612 --> 00:25:59,173
I've come to apologize for acting
too big for my britches.
289
00:25:59,482 --> 00:26:02,474
As you see, I even got new britches.
290
00:26:03,286 --> 00:26:05,811
Yeah, well, no harm done.
Real nice of you.
291
00:26:07,057 --> 00:26:09,525
I wanted to explain myself.
292
00:26:09,693 --> 00:26:12,457
I'm trying to create
a new kind of reportage.
293
00:26:12,629 --> 00:26:15,223
Have you read my book
The Muses Are Heard?
294
00:26:17,734 --> 00:26:20,134
Well, it was very well received.
295
00:26:20,303 --> 00:26:25,206
It's about an American opera company going
to Moscow to perform Porgy and Bess.
296
00:26:25,375 --> 00:26:29,903
Now, if I relied only on what
the press managers told me...
297
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:33,572
...it would have been no different
than a newspaper article.
298
00:26:33,750 --> 00:26:38,449
But I treated the people with the emotional
and psychological detail of a novel.
299
00:26:38,621 --> 00:26:42,387
I see, so you're doing something different
than a regular reporter.
300
00:26:42,559 --> 00:26:43,685
Yes.
301
00:26:43,860 --> 00:26:46,920
And I can't really know how people feel
without your help.
302
00:26:47,097 --> 00:26:49,725
Oh, well, I can tell you how they feel.
Terrible.
303
00:26:49,899 --> 00:26:52,094
They'll feel better when this is solved.
304
00:26:52,268 --> 00:26:53,758
Yes. I agree. And that's...
305
00:26:53,937 --> 00:26:57,931
Look, I wish you well with your project.
But no access.
306
00:26:59,944 --> 00:27:03,778
I'm sorry, but Nelle
and I will have to stay for Christmas.
307
00:27:04,949 --> 00:27:06,211
Why?
308
00:27:06,384 --> 00:27:09,114
Because no one will talk to me.
309
00:27:09,387 --> 00:27:13,790
I've got to stay until they forget about me
and can open up.
310
00:27:13,958 --> 00:27:16,290
No one forgets about you.
311
00:27:16,727 --> 00:27:18,627
What will you do for Christmas?
312
00:27:18,796 --> 00:27:21,390
Of course, everything will be closed...
313
00:27:21,565 --> 00:27:25,626
...so I thought before I'd go to the market
and get a nice cheese...
314
00:27:25,803 --> 00:27:27,168
...some ham and olives.
315
00:27:27,338 --> 00:27:30,273
Slim sent a wonderful Burgundy.
316
00:27:30,441 --> 00:27:33,308
Nelle and I can make a picnic at the hotel.
317
00:27:33,511 --> 00:27:35,138
VELvEETA
318
00:27:40,484 --> 00:27:41,849
Excuse me?
319
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:46,820
- Could this be all the cheese?
- Well, how much do you need?
320
00:27:46,991 --> 00:27:50,586
Mine is a matter of quality, dear,
not quantity.
321
00:27:50,761 --> 00:27:55,323
Oh, you mean other types of cheese.
Goodness, no. Not here.
322
00:27:58,135 --> 00:28:02,003
- Are you staying for Christmas?
- Yes, we are.
323
00:28:02,173 --> 00:28:05,108
What will you and Mrs. Capote do
for your Christmas supper?
324
00:28:05,276 --> 00:28:10,180
If this is the only cheese I find,
Mrs. Capote and I might try cyanide.
325
00:28:11,850 --> 00:28:14,512
Would you like to come to our house
for Christmas supper?
326
00:28:14,686 --> 00:28:16,881
Really? Like for a party?
327
00:28:17,055 --> 00:28:20,047
It's just not right you don't have
Christmas supper in a home.
328
00:28:20,225 --> 00:28:22,352
That is so kind of you.
329
00:28:22,527 --> 00:28:25,519
Nelle will be thrilled.
May I ask your name?
330
00:28:36,208 --> 00:28:37,300
Hi.
331
00:28:38,510 --> 00:28:39,636
Hi.
332
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:43,138
What?
333
00:28:43,548 --> 00:28:47,211
We are spending Christmas
with the Deweys.
334
00:28:53,225 --> 00:28:54,658
This just isn't right.
335
00:28:54,826 --> 00:28:58,592
What isn't right is for two people
to spend Christmas alone.
336
00:28:58,763 --> 00:29:00,993
If there's two of them, they won't be alone.
337
00:29:01,766 --> 00:29:03,256
Hi. We're here.
338
00:29:03,435 --> 00:29:06,063
- Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.
339
00:29:07,072 --> 00:29:09,063
I know you said not to bring anything...
340
00:29:09,241 --> 00:29:13,075
...but my daddy would kill me if I showed up
for company empty-handed.
341
00:29:13,245 --> 00:29:14,712
We brought you fruitcake.
342
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,007
And she doesn't mean me.
343
00:29:19,085 --> 00:29:20,848
My wife, Delores.
344
00:29:21,020 --> 00:29:22,920
- Truman.
- Foxy.
345
00:29:23,089 --> 00:29:24,818
- Thank you.
- My wife, Delores.
346
00:29:24,991 --> 00:29:26,356
And here is our son, Paul.
347
00:29:26,526 --> 00:29:28,756
Hello, Paul. Merry Christmas.
348
00:29:39,906 --> 00:29:41,396
You gonna watch the game?
349
00:29:41,908 --> 00:29:44,001
I got $25 on it.
350
00:29:49,048 --> 00:29:50,675
Truman, you like football?
351
00:29:51,851 --> 00:29:53,409
Not much.
352
00:29:53,953 --> 00:29:57,252
Though I must admit it always sends shivers
up my spine...
353
00:29:57,423 --> 00:30:00,881
...when the men get inside
that little huddle and whisper.
354
00:30:12,471 --> 00:30:13,597
We have treats.
355
00:30:14,473 --> 00:30:17,033
I have kind of a party question.
356
00:30:17,476 --> 00:30:20,036
I hope it's not too awful or mean.
357
00:30:20,213 --> 00:30:22,113
That sounds fun. Let's play.
358
00:30:22,281 --> 00:30:25,216
Paul Dewey. Don't you wanna come in here
and sit with the grownups?
359
00:30:25,384 --> 00:30:26,373
Since it's Christmas...
360
00:30:26,552 --> 00:30:33,117
...I thought we could all take turns telling
what is the worst present you ever got.
361
00:30:34,461 --> 00:30:39,296
Mine was a shawl from an elderly
neighbor lady. I'm not a shawl lover.
362
00:30:39,466 --> 00:30:41,491
- Me neither.
- They're never warm enough.
363
00:30:41,668 --> 00:30:44,102
Are my ears working properly?
364
00:30:44,271 --> 00:30:47,707
Am I the only one here who loves shawls?
365
00:30:50,344 --> 00:30:51,936
Don't look at me.
366
00:30:52,112 --> 00:30:54,637
My goodness, I love shawls.
367
00:30:54,815 --> 00:30:56,578
I have several.
368
00:30:56,783 --> 00:30:59,775
I think the prettiest one is the one
Jennifer Jones gave me.
369
00:31:00,587 --> 00:31:03,420
Jennifer Jones? The movie star?
370
00:31:03,590 --> 00:31:07,754
Yes. We were in Rome making
a picture called Beat the Devil...
371
00:31:07,928 --> 00:31:10,692
...and I was struggling
to write a scene for Bogie...
372
00:31:10,864 --> 00:31:14,095
...when I began to feel
the most inhuman pain.
373
00:31:14,268 --> 00:31:16,202
Bogie? You mean Humphrey Bogart?
374
00:31:16,870 --> 00:31:20,431
I mean Mr. Lauren Bacall, yes.
375
00:31:20,607 --> 00:31:23,371
I was trying to write a scene for him
and Peter in which they both...
376
00:31:23,543 --> 00:31:25,443
Wait a minute. Who's Peter?
377
00:31:25,612 --> 00:31:27,079
Peter Lorre.
378
00:31:28,582 --> 00:31:32,279
But I had a terrible impacted tooth,
and so John...
379
00:31:32,452 --> 00:31:33,749
- Wayne?
- Garfield?
380
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:34,978
Kennedy?
381
00:31:35,155 --> 00:31:36,622
Huston?
382
00:31:36,790 --> 00:31:39,122
John Huston, the director?
383
00:31:43,131 --> 00:31:47,295
John told me he didn't care if we had
to shut the movie down...
384
00:31:47,468 --> 00:31:49,800
...I was going to the hospital.
385
00:31:50,638 --> 00:31:51,969
So I thought:
386
00:31:52,140 --> 00:31:56,975
"Well, if I have to be in a Roman hospital
for God knows what length of time...
387
00:31:57,145 --> 00:32:01,138
...I may as well have something with me
to make me feel good."
388
00:32:01,316 --> 00:32:05,776
So I wore the beautiful Balmain shawl
that Jennifer gave me...
389
00:32:05,953 --> 00:32:08,080
...and, if I do say so myself...
390
00:32:08,256 --> 00:32:11,851
...I felt and looked dreamy.
391
00:32:18,666 --> 00:32:21,760
- Did you meet Humphrey Bogart?
- Meet?
392
00:32:21,936 --> 00:32:25,099
My dear, every night
we had drinks and dinner...
393
00:32:25,273 --> 00:32:26,797
...and, once, poker!
394
00:32:28,009 --> 00:32:31,410
You played poker with Humphrey Bogart?
395
00:32:31,579 --> 00:32:33,171
I had a disadvantage in that...
396
00:32:33,348 --> 00:32:36,283
...I didn't know the game
in the way that Bogie or Frank did.
397
00:32:36,451 --> 00:32:37,247
Frank?!
398
00:32:37,618 --> 00:32:38,915
Sinatra.
399
00:32:40,288 --> 00:32:41,846
Experience had taught them things...
400
00:32:42,023 --> 00:32:45,356
...a relative novice such as myself
may not know, like, well...
401
00:32:45,526 --> 00:32:48,518
...did you know that three of a kind
beats a pair?
402
00:32:50,766 --> 00:32:55,669
So, I did not defeat Mr. Humphrey Bogart
at cards...
403
00:32:55,838 --> 00:33:00,775
...but you may be interested to know
I soundly beat him at something else.
404
00:33:08,884 --> 00:33:10,818
Arm wrestling.
405
00:33:11,854 --> 00:33:13,344
Hold on now.
406
00:33:14,123 --> 00:33:16,785
You expect us to believe...
407
00:33:16,959 --> 00:33:19,951
...that you beat Humphrey Bogart
at arm wrestling?
408
00:33:24,867 --> 00:33:26,562
Twice.
409
00:33:34,376 --> 00:33:35,536
You're good.
410
00:33:35,711 --> 00:33:38,043
Good match, sir. Thank you.
411
00:33:39,181 --> 00:33:41,843
Hey. I just beat the guy who could beat
Humphrey Bogart.
412
00:33:42,017 --> 00:33:44,247
Cool. You wanna come over
and see what I got?
413
00:33:44,420 --> 00:33:46,854
You didn't beat Humphrey Bogart,
did you?
414
00:33:49,224 --> 00:33:53,558
You don't think I'd defeat your child
on a Christmas afternoon...
415
00:33:53,729 --> 00:33:56,391
...with everyone here thinking
what they do about me?
416
00:33:57,266 --> 00:34:00,258
That would be a gift of switches
and ash.
417
00:34:03,006 --> 00:34:06,032
But you didn't beat Humphrey Bogart,
did you?
418
00:34:06,876 --> 00:34:09,709
All right. Roll up your sleeve.
419
00:34:09,879 --> 00:34:11,437
No, no, no.
420
00:34:12,115 --> 00:34:13,582
Scared?
421
00:34:28,798 --> 00:34:30,595
Well, I'll be.
422
00:34:30,867 --> 00:34:34,928
Listen, Foxy.
When you're tiny you have to be tough.
423
00:34:35,472 --> 00:34:38,600
This world isn't kind to little things.
424
00:35:11,942 --> 00:35:13,637
So glad you could make it.
425
00:35:13,811 --> 00:35:16,644
- Hope you'll come back. Thank you.
- Thank you. Merry Christmas.
426
00:35:16,814 --> 00:35:19,248
- Merry Christmas. Good night.
- Come on.
427
00:35:19,416 --> 00:35:20,576
Bye-bye.
428
00:35:20,751 --> 00:35:23,481
Foxy, check under the tree.
429
00:35:23,921 --> 00:35:24,580
Hello?
430
00:35:26,624 --> 00:35:29,115
No, they just left.
431
00:35:29,293 --> 00:35:33,161
Well, I know it, but the time flew.
Guess what?
432
00:35:33,330 --> 00:35:35,525
He knows Ava Gardner.
433
00:35:36,166 --> 00:35:38,293
And Humphrey Bogart.
434
00:35:38,536 --> 00:35:41,994
And Betty Bacall. That's Lauren Bacall.
435
00:35:44,108 --> 00:35:48,340
And she got right into the kitchen
and helped. They are so sweet.
436
00:35:55,786 --> 00:35:57,344
Anything good?
437
00:35:57,521 --> 00:36:00,012
Merry Christmas from the queen mother.
438
00:36:00,190 --> 00:36:01,953
She loves me.
439
00:36:03,327 --> 00:36:04,624
Babe.
440
00:36:05,162 --> 00:36:06,390
Slim.
441
00:36:09,466 --> 00:36:10,797
Who's this?
442
00:36:10,968 --> 00:36:14,199
"Mrs. John Stimmell called to invite you
and your friend to dinner."
443
00:36:14,371 --> 00:36:15,702
Who's that?
444
00:36:15,873 --> 00:36:18,068
It says she's a friend of the Deweys.
445
00:36:18,542 --> 00:36:19,736
How nice.
446
00:36:19,910 --> 00:36:23,472
Look, here's another.
"Please call Mrs. Dorn about dinner.
447
00:36:23,648 --> 00:36:25,206
Friend of the Deweys."
448
00:36:26,318 --> 00:36:28,183
Well, that sounds lovely.
449
00:36:29,688 --> 00:36:30,985
Nelle.
450
00:36:32,324 --> 00:36:34,884
These are all invitations!
451
00:36:39,598 --> 00:36:40,895
Then Ava said:
452
00:36:41,066 --> 00:36:45,560
"I'm not afraid of the police.
It's Frank who scares me!"
453
00:36:46,504 --> 00:36:50,270
And Marilyn said,
"Better sorry than safe!"
454
00:36:52,243 --> 00:36:53,904
Marilyn Monroe.
455
00:36:54,379 --> 00:36:57,405
Bonnie Clutter is such a dear and l...
456
00:37:00,085 --> 00:37:02,076
Was such a dear.
457
00:37:02,253 --> 00:37:03,777
Oh, goodness.
458
00:37:04,189 --> 00:37:07,420
It's hard to put a friend in the past tense.
459
00:37:08,259 --> 00:37:13,196
It seems so sad, especially since Bonnie
wasn't well at that time.
460
00:37:14,366 --> 00:37:16,095
What was the matter?
461
00:37:17,769 --> 00:37:19,794
Oh, well, I shouldn't say.
462
00:37:19,971 --> 00:37:24,271
I just don't think she liked
to be with folks so much.
463
00:37:24,943 --> 00:37:28,709
But if you ever did see her,
if you ever did...
464
00:37:28,947 --> 00:37:32,212
...oh, she was always good old Bonnie.
465
00:37:32,651 --> 00:37:35,416
She was going through
the change of life.
466
00:37:35,588 --> 00:37:36,987
That's all?
467
00:37:37,156 --> 00:37:39,750
You try it. It's enough.
468
00:37:43,262 --> 00:37:47,392
Well, there were four of us went
to the house to clean up...
469
00:37:48,901 --> 00:37:50,061
...clean up...
470
00:37:53,739 --> 00:37:56,299
...all the damage and the mess.
471
00:37:58,411 --> 00:38:01,505
We used to go out to Herb's
to hunt pheasant.
472
00:38:03,449 --> 00:38:07,510
It was strange driving out there
knowing what was waiting for us.
473
00:38:08,688 --> 00:38:10,781
The couch where the boy had been.
474
00:38:10,956 --> 00:38:15,484
It was just,
I mean the bodies were gone, but...
475
00:38:16,829 --> 00:38:19,297
...good Lord, just seeing that couch.
476
00:38:20,299 --> 00:38:23,666
Or the mattress box
where Herb had been.
477
00:38:25,171 --> 00:38:27,230
There was so much blood.
478
00:38:28,607 --> 00:38:34,068
There was so much blood.
Sometimes in big, wide pools.
479
00:38:34,246 --> 00:38:37,943
Sometimes in little spatters.
I was going up the stairs...
480
00:38:38,117 --> 00:38:40,984
...and then I saw a big spot
on the banister...
481
00:38:42,321 --> 00:38:43,754
...and I almost...
482
00:38:44,491 --> 00:38:45,924
I swear...
483
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:50,618
...well, that was worse than the big stuff
on the floor. Because I thought:
484
00:38:50,797 --> 00:38:53,027
"It made it all the way up here?"
485
00:38:55,769 --> 00:38:58,431
I can only say I was a Marine...
486
00:38:58,839 --> 00:39:01,433
...and nothing ever got to me
the way this did.
487
00:39:04,177 --> 00:39:07,704
Herb was one of the most
respected ranchers in this state.
488
00:39:07,881 --> 00:39:11,044
If there was a list that told you how
to succeed with honor...
489
00:39:11,218 --> 00:39:13,482
...well, he just did everything on it.
490
00:39:13,887 --> 00:39:17,482
You see, he worked hard,
he took care of his family...
491
00:39:17,991 --> 00:39:21,893
...and when he went to church,
he just didn't get his time card punched.
492
00:39:22,062 --> 00:39:24,394
No, he went in and he listened.
493
00:39:25,265 --> 00:39:29,998
And I've always believed
that whenever you do something right...
494
00:39:30,170 --> 00:39:32,502
...it gives you a little bit of weight...
495
00:39:32,672 --> 00:39:37,575
...so that you come to feel rooted
to this earth, you know? Solid. Secure.
496
00:39:39,846 --> 00:39:42,280
Now what scares me is that...
497
00:39:43,083 --> 00:39:46,416
...well, sometimes, out of nowhere...
498
00:39:46,686 --> 00:39:48,916
...a bad wind blows up.
499
00:39:49,756 --> 00:39:54,693
Now it could be cancer, could be drink...
500
00:39:55,363 --> 00:39:59,356
...could be some woman
that don't belong to you.
501
00:40:00,434 --> 00:40:04,063
And despite the weight that's holding you
to the ground...
502
00:40:04,572 --> 00:40:09,475
...when that wind comes,
it picks you up light as a leaf...
503
00:40:11,546 --> 00:40:14,071
...and it takes you where it wants.
504
00:40:17,385 --> 00:40:20,047
We're in control until we're not.
505
00:40:21,122 --> 00:40:22,885
Then we're helpless.
506
00:40:27,595 --> 00:40:31,895
"If you ever saw her,
she was always good old Bonnie."
507
00:40:32,066 --> 00:40:35,934
No, no. She said, "If you ever did see her,
if you ever did, she..."
508
00:40:36,103 --> 00:40:36,967
That's right.
509
00:40:37,138 --> 00:40:39,299
"...she was always good old Bonnie."
510
00:40:39,473 --> 00:40:40,462
Good ear.
511
00:40:43,644 --> 00:40:44,736
Drink?
512
00:40:46,781 --> 00:40:49,614
Well, obviously the mother wasn't right.
513
00:40:50,117 --> 00:40:53,450
Oh, I don't know.
It just sounds like menopause.
514
00:40:53,621 --> 00:40:57,785
I hope not.
That's a little grubby for my novel.
515
00:40:57,959 --> 00:40:59,426
Your novel?
516
00:41:00,194 --> 00:41:01,821
What are you talking about?
517
00:41:02,463 --> 00:41:07,527
I think this story is bigger than an article.
I think it's a book.
518
00:41:07,703 --> 00:41:10,672
I can see that. But non-fiction, right?
519
00:41:10,839 --> 00:41:13,103
Yes, of course it will all be true, but...
520
00:41:13,275 --> 00:41:17,177
- But what? Either it is or it isn't.
- You're not understanding.
521
00:41:17,346 --> 00:41:21,305
I wanna to bring fictional techniques
to a non-fiction story.
522
00:41:21,483 --> 00:41:24,714
What fictional techniques?
The ones where you make stuff up?
523
00:41:24,887 --> 00:41:29,324
Excuse me, if I were gonna make stuff up
you think I'd bother taking all these notes?
524
00:41:29,491 --> 00:41:33,621
You obviously plan to turn Bonnie Clutter
into some faux poetic recluse...
525
00:41:33,795 --> 00:41:37,253
...when what it sounds like is that she was
just thrown off by her menopause.
526
00:41:37,432 --> 00:41:39,900
What is your stupid fucking point?
527
00:41:40,068 --> 00:41:42,832
That you shouldn't be doing
what you're doing.
528
00:41:43,372 --> 00:41:45,272
The truth is enough!
529
00:41:45,474 --> 00:41:48,875
I must say I don't appreciate this lecture
from you of all people.
530
00:41:49,044 --> 00:41:52,480
Mockingbird was based on true things,
and you sure improved that.
531
00:41:52,648 --> 00:41:54,639
Right. It's a novel!
532
00:41:55,317 --> 00:41:58,753
Reportage means re-creating,
not creating.
533
00:41:58,921 --> 00:42:01,890
This is a new kind of reportage!
534
00:42:02,724 --> 00:42:04,191
I'll say.
535
00:42:25,915 --> 00:42:28,509
Okay. "But if you ever did see her,
if you ever..."
536
00:42:28,685 --> 00:42:31,017
- I remember.
- Fine.
537
00:42:33,423 --> 00:42:35,914
- It's your book.
- Yes.
538
00:42:36,225 --> 00:42:37,920
My seventh.
539
00:42:44,834 --> 00:42:47,735
- Okay, okay.
- How's your book coming?
540
00:42:48,237 --> 00:42:51,172
Lt'll take me a long time to shape, but...
541
00:42:51,341 --> 00:42:54,105
...thanks to Nelle,
who's been a gift from heaven...
542
00:42:54,410 --> 00:42:55,968
...and you all...
543
00:42:56,145 --> 00:42:58,204
...we'll probably only need
a week more here.
544
00:42:58,381 --> 00:43:02,545
- Well, I'm gonna miss your Kansas steaks.
- Well, we'll be sorry to see you go.
545
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:07,122
Is there any news?
You know I can't give you special access.
546
00:43:07,290 --> 00:43:08,382
We got them.
547
00:43:08,558 --> 00:43:10,549
- What?
- What?
548
00:43:10,727 --> 00:43:12,854
We caught them.
Just like you said, there were two of them.
549
00:43:13,029 --> 00:43:16,021
The killers? We caught the killers?
550
00:43:16,199 --> 00:43:18,360
Who are they?
Are they in jail right now? Can...?
551
00:43:18,534 --> 00:43:20,729
They're in Las vegas.
I got to get right out there.
552
00:43:20,903 --> 00:43:23,667
- Can I come? Oh, please, Foxy?!
- Not this time, partner.
553
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:27,105
Well, there isn't gonna be another time.
How many times you gonna arrest them?
554
00:43:27,276 --> 00:43:28,403
I'm sorry.
555
00:43:29,380 --> 00:43:31,007
Honestly, Marie...
556
00:43:31,448 --> 00:43:34,440
...how can you stay married
to such a mule?
557
00:43:35,519 --> 00:43:38,181
Maybe now you'll get
a whole night's sleep.
558
00:43:48,532 --> 00:43:51,126
Congratulations, Foxy.
559
00:43:53,470 --> 00:43:55,961
This kind of changes your book.
560
00:43:56,140 --> 00:43:57,835
You're telling me.
561
00:43:58,008 --> 00:44:01,375
Of course, if I thought it was hard
getting the townspeople to open up...
562
00:44:01,545 --> 00:44:04,708
...how in heaven's name will I ever get
the killers to talk?
563
00:44:04,882 --> 00:44:06,372
Look, look. They're here.
564
00:44:32,509 --> 00:44:35,501
Pardon me. Pardon me.
Pardon me. Excuse me.
565
00:44:43,254 --> 00:44:45,484
I can't see the other one.
566
00:44:46,858 --> 00:44:48,325
There he is.
567
00:45:04,843 --> 00:45:07,835
No way. No press inside the prison.
568
00:45:08,012 --> 00:45:10,173
I have many connections in government.
569
00:45:10,348 --> 00:45:13,511
Perhaps I could have someone call,
explain what I'm doing?
570
00:45:13,685 --> 00:45:16,779
You'd pretty much have to know
the president of the United States...
571
00:45:16,955 --> 00:45:19,287
...before I'd let you visit these boys.
572
00:45:24,162 --> 00:45:26,494
Suck my cock, you cocksucker!
573
00:45:26,664 --> 00:45:27,858
I never snack.
574
00:45:28,032 --> 00:45:29,795
You want to kiss my asshole, bitch?
575
00:45:29,968 --> 00:45:32,129
I'd prefer it to your face.
576
00:45:33,404 --> 00:45:35,964
You want to write a book about me?
577
00:45:36,641 --> 00:45:40,475
If my jackass teachers
could hear you say that!
578
00:45:40,879 --> 00:45:43,575
- Did you ever write a book?
- Certainly.
579
00:45:43,748 --> 00:45:47,707
My first novel, Other Voices, Other Rooms,
was heralded by critics...
580
00:45:47,886 --> 00:45:50,549
...as the most exciting literary debut since...
581
00:45:50,723 --> 00:45:52,247
Yeah, okay.
582
00:45:52,858 --> 00:45:55,588
- You a queer?
- Yes.
583
00:45:55,761 --> 00:45:57,251
Because I'd let you suck me.
584
00:45:57,429 --> 00:46:00,523
I'm not a queer, but letting you suck my dick
don't make me queer.
585
00:46:00,699 --> 00:46:04,465
It makes you queer.
A mouth's a mouth.
586
00:46:06,305 --> 00:46:10,503
Well, thanks, I guess, but no.
587
00:46:10,676 --> 00:46:14,168
- So then what's in it for me?
- Money.
588
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:18,281
I'd give you a share of my royalties.
589
00:46:26,325 --> 00:46:29,192
I got two kids by my first marriage.
590
00:46:30,362 --> 00:46:35,390
Maybe I can give the money to Lacy, my ex.
Would you help me write her a letter?
591
00:46:37,036 --> 00:46:38,833
I'd be glad to.
592
00:46:40,873 --> 00:46:44,206
Okay, I'll do it.
The Clutter deal was my idea.
593
00:46:44,376 --> 00:46:47,402
I shared a cell with a piece of rat shit
called Floyd Wells...
594
00:46:47,580 --> 00:46:51,573
...who told me old man Clutter had
a safe with $ 10,000.
595
00:46:52,918 --> 00:46:56,877
Dick says you first heard
about the Clutter safe from his cellmate...
596
00:46:57,056 --> 00:46:58,648
...Floyd Wells.
597
00:47:00,994 --> 00:47:04,725
- Is that right?
- Well, he told you, didn't he?
598
00:47:04,898 --> 00:47:07,492
Yes, but can I trust him?
599
00:47:09,035 --> 00:47:10,559
He's in jail.
600
00:47:11,705 --> 00:47:13,502
I wouldn't trust him.
601
00:47:15,408 --> 00:47:20,243
You don't want the only perception people
have of you to come from Dick.
602
00:47:20,513 --> 00:47:24,677
- I can help get your side out.
- Don't bullshit me.
603
00:47:25,685 --> 00:47:27,653
You don't care about my side.
604
00:47:27,821 --> 00:47:31,757
- You're not trying to help me.
- Well, this would be helpful.
605
00:47:32,125 --> 00:47:35,583
You'd be entitled
to a share of the royalties.
606
00:47:35,762 --> 00:47:39,027
And what would I do
with royalties in here?
607
00:47:39,633 --> 00:47:42,397
- You might get out, and you could use...
- We're not getting out!
608
00:47:45,238 --> 00:47:48,298
I said no bullshit
and you gave me more bullshit.
609
00:47:51,878 --> 00:47:53,277
Go away.
610
00:47:54,714 --> 00:47:57,945
He'll loosen up.
How's Dick?
611
00:47:58,118 --> 00:48:02,054
Dick?
He just goes on and on and on.
612
00:48:02,222 --> 00:48:06,386
Perry probably shot the Clutters
just to get Dick to be quiet.
613
00:48:06,793 --> 00:48:09,956
I have to have both sides.
614
00:48:10,797 --> 00:48:14,097
How do you get your New York lady friends
to tell you everything?
615
00:48:14,268 --> 00:48:15,735
My swans?
616
00:48:16,404 --> 00:48:18,634
I figure out what they need.
617
00:48:18,806 --> 00:48:22,469
Gossip. Comfort. And I give it to them.
618
00:48:23,077 --> 00:48:27,673
So find out what Perry needs.
In the meantime, get all you can from Dick.
619
00:48:27,848 --> 00:48:30,442
Surely he'll shed some light
on Perry, hm?
620
00:48:31,152 --> 00:48:33,347
The man and the boy
we took to the basement.
621
00:48:33,521 --> 00:48:35,113
Now, here's something.
622
00:48:35,656 --> 00:48:40,491
When I wanted to enjoy myself on the girl,
you know, knock her box out...
623
00:48:40,761 --> 00:48:43,093
...Perry says for me not to touch her.
624
00:48:43,364 --> 00:48:48,301
But then, when he's tying up that boy,
he put a pillow under his head.
625
00:48:49,136 --> 00:48:52,105
And told the old man
to lay on a mattress box...
626
00:48:52,273 --> 00:48:54,605
...because he said the floor was cold.
627
00:48:55,009 --> 00:48:57,307
Too cold to get shot on?
628
00:48:57,778 --> 00:48:59,439
Why do you think he did that?
629
00:49:00,681 --> 00:49:05,618
And I said, "You losing your nerve?
'Cause we can't leave no witnesses."
630
00:49:08,222 --> 00:49:11,680
And he said, "No,"
but I thought, "Are you a faggot?"
631
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:16,797
Putting that pillow for the boy,
telling me not to crack the girl.
632
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:21,361
But other times he's okay.
633
00:49:23,038 --> 00:49:26,633
Didn't seem like a faggot
when he splattered their hair on the wall.
634
00:49:30,379 --> 00:49:32,313
No, we didn't want to kill them.
635
00:49:32,481 --> 00:49:35,473
We wanted to get in
and get out without a trace!
636
00:49:35,917 --> 00:49:38,511
Perry wanted us
to get stockings for our faces.
637
00:49:38,987 --> 00:49:42,388
But that shit-ass store where we got
the gloves only had light-colored ones.
638
00:49:42,557 --> 00:49:46,220
You could see my eyes through them.
Pick me up out of a lineup. That was no go.
639
00:49:46,395 --> 00:49:51,094
So Perry says we should go to the hospital
and buy black ones off the nuns.
640
00:49:51,266 --> 00:49:53,598
And I thought that was
a damn crazy idea...
641
00:49:53,769 --> 00:49:55,760
...but I didn't feel like fighting
with him...
642
00:49:55,937 --> 00:49:58,906
...so I went and huddled behind the door,
and I came out and said:
643
00:49:59,074 --> 00:50:01,508
"Catholic bitches wouldn't sell me none."
644
00:50:02,344 --> 00:50:04,369
And what did Perry say?
645
00:50:04,746 --> 00:50:06,236
He said:
646
00:50:06,915 --> 00:50:08,109
"Any.
647
00:50:08,750 --> 00:50:11,082
Catholic bitches won't sell you any."
648
00:50:11,253 --> 00:50:12,345
Really?
649
00:50:13,355 --> 00:50:16,483
- He corrected your grammar?
- Listen, sugar.
650
00:50:18,026 --> 00:50:19,687
Perry Smith...
651
00:50:20,195 --> 00:50:23,130
...fancies himself an artiste.
652
00:50:29,337 --> 00:50:33,138
Hey, baby.
You wanna suck my dick through the bars?
653
00:50:33,810 --> 00:50:36,643
Yours couldn't reach through the bars.
654
00:50:39,248 --> 00:50:43,150
The only way to deal with vulgarity
is to rise above it.
655
00:50:44,987 --> 00:50:49,321
I had a similar experience with my friend,
Tennessee Williams.
656
00:50:49,826 --> 00:50:52,090
The artist and intellectual?
657
00:50:54,530 --> 00:50:56,122
Never mind.
658
00:50:56,499 --> 00:50:59,332
Nobody here likes this kind of thing.
659
00:51:00,937 --> 00:51:02,131
I do.
660
00:51:05,174 --> 00:51:06,766
I'd like to hear it.
661
00:51:11,047 --> 00:51:13,845
Well, Tennessee
and I were in this bar once...
662
00:51:14,016 --> 00:51:17,179
...when this very drunk woman
came up to me and said:
663
00:51:17,353 --> 00:51:21,187
"May I have your autograph?"
I said, "Why, yes, dear."
664
00:51:21,657 --> 00:51:24,524
She said she didn't have
a piece of paper.
665
00:51:24,694 --> 00:51:27,686
So she pulled up her shirt,
pointed to her bellybutton...
666
00:51:27,864 --> 00:51:29,855
...and asked me to autograph that.
667
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:33,264
So then she hands me an eyebrow pencil...
668
00:51:33,436 --> 00:51:38,135
...and I write my name all the way around
her navel like a sundial.
669
00:51:38,307 --> 00:51:43,974
All of the sudden appears her angry
and very drunk husband who says:
670
00:51:44,147 --> 00:51:49,050
"Since you're in the mood for signing things,
why don't you sign this?"
671
00:51:49,219 --> 00:51:53,883
And with that, he unzipped his fly
and hauled out his manhood.
672
00:51:54,057 --> 00:51:55,388
Well, what'd you do?
673
00:51:55,559 --> 00:51:58,551
Well, the room was graveyard silent.
674
00:51:59,229 --> 00:52:03,063
I looked him up and down
and said, calm as I could:
675
00:52:04,034 --> 00:52:10,667
"Well, I don't know if I could autograph it,
but perhaps I could initial it."
676
00:52:14,011 --> 00:52:17,913
What kind of stuff does
Tennessee Williams write?
677
00:52:18,415 --> 00:52:21,748
I know his name,
I just can't think what are his books.
678
00:52:21,919 --> 00:52:25,184
He's a dramatist.
He wrote A Streetcar Named Desire.
679
00:52:25,355 --> 00:52:27,448
- That Brando was in?
- The very same.
680
00:52:27,624 --> 00:52:30,616
Marlon Brando is the fucking king!
681
00:52:31,194 --> 00:52:33,458
Now, he's one of my two favorite actors.
682
00:52:33,630 --> 00:52:36,360
- Who's the other?
- Humphrey Bogart.
683
00:52:53,283 --> 00:52:54,945
I beat Humphrey Bogart.
684
00:52:55,119 --> 00:52:57,053
And Alvin Dewey too.
685
00:52:58,923 --> 00:53:02,723
This is the most black-hearted thing
you have ever done, Nelle Harper Lee...
686
00:53:02,894 --> 00:53:04,759
...and I will never forgive you.
687
00:53:04,929 --> 00:53:09,798
Oh, hush your silliness.
You're all set now. Perry's ready to talk.
688
00:53:10,602 --> 00:53:12,331
I need my life back.
689
00:53:13,271 --> 00:53:16,069
There are a few fires I need to rekindle.
690
00:53:16,240 --> 00:53:19,300
Well, goodbye.
I hate you!
691
00:53:19,477 --> 00:53:22,139
Thank you. You too.
692
00:53:44,502 --> 00:53:47,562
- How's the vanquisher of Bogart?
- Okay.
693
00:53:49,007 --> 00:53:50,497
Tell me more about him.
694
00:53:53,011 --> 00:53:55,809
Well, I think we should talk
about some other things first.
695
00:53:56,114 --> 00:53:57,103
Like what?
696
00:53:57,682 --> 00:54:02,278
Nothing.
I just don't have a lot more about Bogie.
697
00:54:06,288 --> 00:54:10,850
I do have a very amusing story
about Marlon Brando.
698
00:54:11,093 --> 00:54:15,655
I once spent an entire evening with him,
just the two of us...
699
00:54:15,831 --> 00:54:20,393
...and he told me all about his life
before he became a star.
700
00:54:20,669 --> 00:54:22,102
Are you guys friends?
701
00:54:22,271 --> 00:54:26,230
Well, I wouldn't say that.
He's told people he wants to kill me.
702
00:54:26,408 --> 00:54:27,397
What for?
703
00:54:28,677 --> 00:54:32,044
He didn't like the way I portrayed him
in my article.
704
00:54:32,214 --> 00:54:35,775
He claims he told me certain things
off the record.
705
00:54:35,951 --> 00:54:38,010
Well, you couldn't just check your notes?
706
00:54:38,987 --> 00:54:40,852
I never take notes.
707
00:54:41,023 --> 00:54:45,960
I employ a memory technique that gives me
almost a hundred percent retention.
708
00:54:46,128 --> 00:54:48,323
Well, "almost" is the key fucking word.
709
00:54:48,497 --> 00:54:50,692
I may miss a word, but never a meaning.
710
00:54:50,866 --> 00:54:53,334
If you miss the right word, you will.
711
00:54:54,737 --> 00:54:56,329
You've got a hell of a fucking nerve.
712
00:54:56,505 --> 00:54:59,065
What are you trying to bother
a great actor like Brando for?
713
00:54:59,241 --> 00:55:00,173
You misunderst...
714
00:55:00,342 --> 00:55:02,606
See, this is why I don't
wanna to talk to you!
715
00:55:02,778 --> 00:55:05,372
If you want to make me look
like some asshole, you will.
716
00:55:05,547 --> 00:55:07,879
Perry, I never judge my characters.
717
00:55:11,053 --> 00:55:15,683
Well, here's something for you
to remember all 100 percent of...
718
00:55:16,526 --> 00:55:19,427
...I am not a character.
719
00:55:19,629 --> 00:55:22,063
I'm a human-fucking-being.
720
00:55:22,232 --> 00:55:24,598
- Guard!
- Perry Edward Smith!
721
00:55:24,768 --> 00:55:28,295
I am writing this book
with or without you.
722
00:55:28,471 --> 00:55:32,464
You can get involved, so I can make you
a three-dimensional human being...
723
00:55:32,642 --> 00:55:34,701
...or you can continue this foolishness...
724
00:55:34,878 --> 00:55:38,109
...and I will head straight back to New York
and write what I want!
725
00:55:47,724 --> 00:55:49,123
Is this my party?
726
00:55:49,292 --> 00:55:50,782
Truman!
727
00:55:51,661 --> 00:55:54,824
Welcome home, my darling.
We missed you so much.
728
00:56:04,574 --> 00:56:07,475
I don't believe I've ever said this:
729
00:56:07,644 --> 00:56:10,078
Tell us about the killers.
730
00:56:12,482 --> 00:56:16,145
Well, their names are Dick Hickock
and Perry Smith.
731
00:56:16,319 --> 00:56:18,253
- Have you met them?
- Met them?
732
00:56:18,421 --> 00:56:20,855
My dear, I've been in their cells.
733
00:56:21,024 --> 00:56:22,286
I have goose flesh.
734
00:56:22,459 --> 00:56:26,088
When you're talking to them,
they seem like perfectly nice boys.
735
00:56:26,262 --> 00:56:30,632
To be frank, I'm much more concerned
for my safety around Norman Mailer.
736
00:56:34,138 --> 00:56:38,074
Dick speaks about what happened
without any sense that it was wrong.
737
00:56:38,242 --> 00:56:41,507
- It was just something that happened.
- What about Terry?
738
00:56:41,912 --> 00:56:44,813
No, it's Perry. As in Antoinette.
739
00:56:45,583 --> 00:56:47,448
He's an enigma.
740
00:56:47,618 --> 00:56:51,315
You know, before he killed the Clutter boy
he put a pillow under his head.
741
00:56:51,689 --> 00:56:54,089
And he wouldn't let Dick rape the girl.
742
00:56:54,258 --> 00:56:56,658
- He's not all kind.
- Jack's right.
743
00:56:56,827 --> 00:57:01,025
After these demonstrations of gentility,
he did shoot them dead.
744
00:57:01,265 --> 00:57:03,199
And cut the old man's throat.
745
00:57:03,367 --> 00:57:04,766
There's something...
746
00:57:05,169 --> 00:57:08,002
...I can't quite put my finger on it.
747
00:57:08,172 --> 00:57:11,107
It seems insane to say that he's tender...
748
00:57:11,976 --> 00:57:16,845
...but he does have the tender
and the terrible side by side inside him.
749
00:57:19,850 --> 00:57:21,442
He's very...
750
00:57:32,029 --> 00:57:33,257
He's very?
751
00:57:40,038 --> 00:57:42,734
Never mind that.
Let's go around the table...
752
00:57:42,908 --> 00:57:46,503
...and you can all tell me whom
you're having affairs with.
753
00:57:47,679 --> 00:57:48,407
Oh, goody.
754
00:57:49,381 --> 00:57:50,507
Bennett?
755
00:57:54,519 --> 00:58:00,253
In his letters, Tru Heart always says:
"What's the new thing that everyone loves?"
756
00:58:00,425 --> 00:58:02,450
And, as any of us with children know...
757
00:58:02,627 --> 00:58:06,859
...the big new thing is not on Broadway
or even on CBS.
758
00:58:07,032 --> 00:58:08,932
Sorry, darling.
759
00:58:09,401 --> 00:58:12,029
- It's this.
- And you see your child bring it home...
760
00:58:12,203 --> 00:58:15,570
...and you think,
"I am simply gonna have to slit my wrists."
761
00:58:16,274 --> 00:58:17,764
And five minutes later...
762
00:58:17,943 --> 00:58:19,035
...you're doing it.
763
00:58:19,210 --> 00:58:22,941
Doors closed, of course,
but you just can't resist it.
764
00:58:23,114 --> 00:58:24,172
I did.
765
00:58:24,349 --> 00:58:26,715
Well, assholes aren't much for dancing.
766
00:58:28,486 --> 00:58:29,646
Oh, dear.
767
00:58:31,623 --> 00:58:33,921
How's your writing coming, Jack?
768
00:58:36,061 --> 00:58:37,460
Well, let's hear it.
769
00:58:37,629 --> 00:58:40,792
Well, when Babe told me anyone
could learn it...
770
00:58:40,966 --> 00:58:45,335
...I bet her $ 100 she couldn't teach me,
and I now owe her $ 100.
771
00:58:46,771 --> 00:58:51,971
Slim and I will show you how it's done,
and then we hope you'll jump right in.
772
00:58:52,144 --> 00:58:54,635
- You, especially.
- Needle's on.
773
00:58:57,116 --> 00:58:58,743
Oh, my word.
774
00:59:03,489 --> 00:59:06,083
- Come on, my prot�g�.
- All right, teacher.
775
00:59:09,662 --> 00:59:11,926
When she taught me,
I said, "What are the other steps?"
776
00:59:12,098 --> 00:59:13,827
She said, "There are no other steps."
777
00:59:15,434 --> 00:59:17,698
- Who's next?
- Who else?
778
00:59:22,441 --> 00:59:23,840
No, how do I?
779
00:59:26,846 --> 00:59:28,973
That's what I said. It's not a dance.
780
00:59:29,148 --> 00:59:31,981
- You're putting the cigarette out.
- Oh, putting the cigarette out.
781
00:59:32,151 --> 00:59:33,140
Truman?
782
00:59:38,691 --> 00:59:41,091
- Just put your foot out there.
- Oh, wonderful.
783
00:59:42,194 --> 00:59:43,957
What are you doing there?
784
00:59:44,797 --> 00:59:47,027
You're doing something with your arms.
785
00:59:47,199 --> 00:59:50,896
- Then we go down.
- Oh, my word. What is that, flamenco?
786
00:59:51,504 --> 00:59:56,441
I'm so sorry about Jack.
I almost fainted when he insulted Bill.
787
00:59:58,577 --> 01:00:00,603
Bill can take it, believe me.
788
01:00:00,781 --> 01:00:03,579
Jack has a moral certainty
that's so oppressive.
789
01:00:03,750 --> 01:00:05,547
Moral in what way?
790
01:00:06,353 --> 01:00:10,312
Just that anything fun
is a crime against my art...
791
01:00:10,657 --> 01:00:13,319
...certainly not moral in a personal way.
792
01:00:13,493 --> 01:00:16,485
We have an understanding
that if we need something sexual...
793
01:00:16,663 --> 01:00:19,325
...and the other isn't there to provide it,
that...
794
01:00:19,499 --> 01:00:21,194
I understand.
795
01:00:21,968 --> 01:00:24,766
I hardly ever wander, but he does.
796
01:00:24,938 --> 01:00:29,068
We don't discuss it.
I can allow it more if I know less about it.
797
01:00:29,810 --> 01:00:35,680
But doesn't even the idea upset you?
I mean, how can you bear to think of...
798
01:00:36,450 --> 01:00:40,113
...or keep yourself from picturing...?
799
01:00:42,222 --> 01:00:43,849
Honey, what is it?
800
01:00:46,626 --> 01:00:48,526
Bill is having an affair.
801
01:00:49,296 --> 01:00:50,854
Babaling, no.
802
01:00:51,031 --> 01:00:54,262
Please, you absolutely must not breathe
a word of this to anyone.
803
01:00:54,434 --> 01:00:56,334
It will die inside me.
804
01:00:57,704 --> 01:00:59,171
How did you find out?
805
01:01:01,541 --> 01:01:04,169
Our bed sheets were stained.
806
01:01:04,644 --> 01:01:08,580
- Okay, well, now I could vomit.
- Of course, he couldn't give it to the maid.
807
01:01:08,749 --> 01:01:10,217
Well, no.
808
01:01:10,384 --> 01:01:14,650
So, he got on his hands and knees
in front of the tub, and he scrubbed them.
809
01:01:15,890 --> 01:01:17,687
But it didn't quite come out.
810
01:01:17,992 --> 01:01:21,723
And when I got back I noticed
this odd outline on the sheets.
811
01:01:21,896 --> 01:01:26,560
And I said, like a fool, I mean,
not even suspecting, I said...
812
01:01:28,736 --> 01:01:30,203
I said:
813
01:01:31,739 --> 01:01:33,730
"What on earth is that?"
814
01:01:34,108 --> 01:01:36,906
I thought Mary Lee had bleached them.
815
01:01:37,612 --> 01:01:40,172
But then I looked at Bill
and there was that...
816
01:01:42,283 --> 01:01:46,413
...that look on his face.
And I thought:
817
01:01:47,421 --> 01:01:51,255
"Thank heavens he is such a bad liar...
818
01:01:51,425 --> 01:01:54,553
...or I would have been most unjust
to Mary Lee."
819
01:01:55,263 --> 01:01:58,926
It doesn't seem possible that a man
who owns a television network...
820
01:01:59,100 --> 01:02:00,965
...can be such a bad liar.
821
01:02:01,135 --> 01:02:03,603
It seems so essential to his success.
822
01:02:07,108 --> 01:02:09,008
What am I gonna do?
823
01:02:10,611 --> 01:02:13,637
You are going to call me
whenever you need me...
824
01:02:13,815 --> 01:02:16,716
...even if it's 3 in the morning
and war has broken out...
825
01:02:16,884 --> 01:02:21,845
...between Brooklyn and Manhattan.
I'll come over the bridge, bullets flying...
826
01:02:22,024 --> 01:02:25,289
...to let you know you have
a lifelong friend in me.
827
01:02:26,328 --> 01:02:29,263
T-bone, you are so dear.
828
01:02:29,865 --> 01:02:33,460
I can't picture Bill Paley washing sheets!
829
01:02:33,635 --> 01:02:36,035
He must have been frantic.
830
01:02:36,939 --> 01:02:39,601
- Poor Babe.
- I know, I know. Bless her.
831
01:02:40,509 --> 01:02:41,771
Check.
832
01:02:43,178 --> 01:02:45,612
Will you come while I find a newsstand?
833
01:02:45,781 --> 01:02:50,514
I'm trying to bribe Perry into liking me
so I'm sending Dick and him dirty magazines.
834
01:02:51,286 --> 01:02:52,548
Sure.
835
01:02:54,857 --> 01:02:59,487
Oh, I wish I'd find a man like you.
Sex and the money, I wouldn't care.
836
01:02:59,661 --> 01:03:01,686
We could always have fun like this.
837
01:03:01,864 --> 01:03:05,960
- Oh, thank you, Big Mama. I love you.
- I love you too.
838
01:03:06,134 --> 01:03:09,865
- Do you?
- Well, how can you even ask?
839
01:03:10,038 --> 01:03:13,906
- You never confide in me.
- No, I don't darling. You're right.
840
01:03:14,076 --> 01:03:15,134
Why don't you?
841
01:03:15,310 --> 01:03:20,543
- It's very simple. I can't trust you.
- What? I'm speechless.
842
01:03:21,216 --> 01:03:23,047
Paralyzed and speechless.
843
01:03:23,218 --> 01:03:24,207
Good afternoon.
844
01:03:24,386 --> 01:03:28,379
I need two copies of Playboy,
Party Doll, Stag Night...
845
01:03:28,724 --> 01:03:33,219
... Baby Doll, Hotsy Totsy, French Flip,
Pink Lace, Busty and Juggle.
846
01:03:33,897 --> 01:03:35,057
Jiggle.
847
01:03:35,231 --> 01:03:37,062
Why on earth can you not trust me?
848
01:03:37,233 --> 01:03:41,727
Well, you know why.
Because someday you'll use it.
849
01:03:41,905 --> 01:03:43,839
That will never be true.
850
01:03:44,007 --> 01:03:47,568
I may not be a monk,
but I certainly have a moral code.
851
01:03:47,744 --> 01:03:52,078
Good heavens!
Look at this! This is revolting.
852
01:03:52,248 --> 01:03:55,513
Women look much better in clothes,
much, much, better.
853
01:03:55,685 --> 01:03:58,415
Goodness gracious,
look at this messy thing.
854
01:03:58,588 --> 01:04:00,112
I'm glad to see you've recovered.
855
01:04:10,199 --> 01:04:11,860
How are things coming?
856
01:04:12,568 --> 01:04:15,765
I found a superb structure,
going back and forth...
857
01:04:15,939 --> 01:04:19,272
...between the Clutters
and Dick and Perry drawing near.
858
01:04:19,442 --> 01:04:23,776
But if I don't find some emotional depth
it's just another police drama.
859
01:04:23,947 --> 01:04:25,278
Who needs it?
860
01:04:26,449 --> 01:04:28,940
Well, face it, without Perry, you're dead.
861
01:04:29,485 --> 01:04:32,682
- I'd cut your losses.
- Nelle!
862
01:04:33,756 --> 01:04:35,087
Here's your mail.
863
01:04:36,759 --> 01:04:39,091
Something from The New Yorker.
864
01:04:41,130 --> 01:04:44,794
Something that looks like invitations,
and something...
865
01:04:45,736 --> 01:04:49,228
Do you know anyone
at the Kansas State Penitentiary?
866
01:04:51,108 --> 01:04:55,044
He must be writing to thank me
for that revolting pornography.
867
01:05:04,521 --> 01:05:08,855
Well, you won't believe this.
868
01:05:09,026 --> 01:05:10,015
What?
869
01:05:11,762 --> 01:05:13,593
Dear Mr. Capote...
870
01:05:13,998 --> 01:05:17,525
...it was extremely solicitous of you
to send me those periodicals.
871
01:05:17,768 --> 01:05:19,759
He reads the dictionary.
872
01:05:19,937 --> 01:05:24,067
But I regret to inform you
that the reading material was repellent.
873
01:05:24,808 --> 01:05:26,742
My future will soon be determined.
874
01:05:26,910 --> 01:05:31,176
But there are only two outcomes:
Life in prison or death.
875
01:05:31,815 --> 01:05:35,615
So, whether I have a short time remaining
or a long time to come...
876
01:05:35,786 --> 01:05:40,485
...I owe it to my mind to fill it
with things of beauty and intelligence.
877
01:05:40,958 --> 01:05:42,789
And how about that handwriting?
878
01:05:43,894 --> 01:05:46,954
Well, if he wants beauty and intelligence...
879
01:05:47,364 --> 01:05:48,956
...you're his man.
880
01:05:59,344 --> 01:06:02,472
I waited so we could open it together.
881
01:06:06,818 --> 01:06:10,345
Dear Mr. Capote:
Thank you for the reading material.
882
01:06:10,522 --> 01:06:14,185
It was much more intellectual
than the pussy pictures you sent before.
883
01:06:14,626 --> 01:06:15,615
However...
884
01:06:15,794 --> 01:06:17,125
However?
885
01:06:17,495 --> 01:06:19,224
Though the stories are told well...
886
01:06:19,397 --> 01:06:24,835
...l, ultimately, did not like them, because
I thought the writing lacked kindness.
887
01:06:25,003 --> 01:06:26,698
I have never!
888
01:06:27,072 --> 01:06:29,836
Maybe you should go back
to sending him porn.
889
01:06:30,408 --> 01:06:35,345
Imagine being told your work
lacked kindness by a four-time killer!
890
01:06:35,914 --> 01:06:40,044
My writing is dispassionate
and unsentimental...
891
01:06:40,218 --> 01:06:42,482
...but I wouldn't say it's unkind.
892
01:06:42,654 --> 01:06:45,919
I've never thought about it
in those terms exactly.
893
01:06:46,257 --> 01:06:49,522
- What a thing to say.
- Yes.
894
01:07:00,738 --> 01:07:04,698
I came all this way back,
three days on the train...
895
01:07:05,111 --> 01:07:07,739
...because there's something
I want you to know.
896
01:07:09,081 --> 01:07:12,073
I have given my whole life
to one effort...
897
01:07:12,251 --> 01:07:14,811
...the creation of a great work of art.
898
01:07:15,855 --> 01:07:17,948
Please don't laugh at me.
899
01:07:19,191 --> 01:07:20,749
My whole life...
900
01:07:21,861 --> 01:07:24,921
...all I've wanted was
to create a work of art.
901
01:07:26,265 --> 01:07:28,756
I sang, nobody listened.
902
01:07:29,735 --> 01:07:32,761
I painted, nobody looked.
903
01:07:34,039 --> 01:07:37,531
Now, Dick and me,
we murder four people.
904
01:07:38,277 --> 01:07:40,211
And what's gonna come out of it?
905
01:07:41,580 --> 01:07:43,207
A work of art.
906
01:07:46,285 --> 01:07:47,946
I'm laughing at me.
907
01:07:49,722 --> 01:07:53,556
You want me to open up,
but I don't think you can understand me.
908
01:07:53,726 --> 01:07:56,786
- Why not?
- It was your books.
909
01:07:57,496 --> 01:08:01,330
I thought you looked down on the people
you were writing about...
910
01:08:01,500 --> 01:08:03,365
...like you were sneering at them.
911
01:08:03,836 --> 01:08:07,033
I would never sneer at my characters.
912
01:08:07,273 --> 01:08:09,503
If I'm gonna put my heart in front of you...
913
01:08:09,675 --> 01:08:13,270
...I need to know I'm doing it with someone
who will listen to it...
914
01:08:13,546 --> 01:08:18,041
...and not make a joke out of it
like you did with Holly Go-fucking-lightly.
915
01:08:20,220 --> 01:08:22,450
You can't write my story...
916
01:08:22,923 --> 01:08:26,154
...because your idea of suffering
is so far from mine.
917
01:08:26,326 --> 01:08:29,591
It's not. I promise.
918
01:08:32,866 --> 01:08:33,924
Goodbye.
919
01:09:11,972 --> 01:09:13,405
Okay.
920
01:09:16,376 --> 01:09:19,971
The reason this is hard
for me to say is that...
921
01:09:21,881 --> 01:09:24,315
...l've never said it out loud before.
922
01:09:25,886 --> 01:09:29,151
He told everyone she was sick, but...
923
01:09:35,429 --> 01:09:37,693
...my mother committed suicide.
924
01:09:41,302 --> 01:09:42,667
- Is this a trick?
- No!
925
01:09:42,837 --> 01:09:44,896
- Are you bullshitting me?
- No!
926
01:09:45,840 --> 01:09:47,774
Have you been talking to Dick?
927
01:09:47,942 --> 01:09:48,931
No.
928
01:09:53,914 --> 01:09:55,347
What happened?
929
01:09:59,920 --> 01:10:01,353
Why'd she do it?
930
01:10:04,692 --> 01:10:07,126
All my mother ever wanted...
931
01:10:07,561 --> 01:10:10,758
...was to be a Park Avenue lady...
932
01:10:13,467 --> 01:10:17,426
...which isn't easy when you're in Alabama
with no money.
933
01:10:17,605 --> 01:10:21,132
So she married my father to get out.
934
01:10:21,309 --> 01:10:24,938
But before they could go, I came.
935
01:10:25,613 --> 01:10:27,604
So she deserted me...
936
01:10:28,215 --> 01:10:30,706
...leaving me with my aunts.
937
01:10:30,885 --> 01:10:35,049
And when my father failed to deliver
her to Park Avenue...
938
01:10:35,723 --> 01:10:38,056
...she deserted him too.
939
01:10:39,094 --> 01:10:41,392
Because she was beautiful...
940
01:10:49,571 --> 01:10:51,505
...so beautiful.
941
01:10:53,642 --> 01:10:57,339
She married again,
this time to Joe Capote.
942
01:10:57,512 --> 01:10:59,571
He had a job in New York...
943
01:10:59,915 --> 01:11:03,510
...and worked all hours
until her dream came true.
944
01:11:03,852 --> 01:11:09,290
We moved to 1060 Park Avenue.
Mother was thrilled.
945
01:11:10,092 --> 01:11:14,495
It seemed to extinguish
some sort of anxiety in her.
946
01:11:17,199 --> 01:11:20,498
But the way Joe got us there
couldn't keep us there.
947
01:11:21,303 --> 01:11:23,703
He'd embezzled the money...
948
01:11:24,272 --> 01:11:26,866
...a hundred thousand dollars.
949
01:11:28,677 --> 01:11:33,341
He was fired and tainted.
He told Mother we'd have to move.
950
01:11:33,515 --> 01:11:36,313
But not to a smaller place
on Park Avenue...
951
01:11:36,485 --> 01:11:39,318
...but to a cold-water flat
in the Bronx.
952
01:11:43,158 --> 01:11:45,149
She couldn't take it.
953
01:11:50,233 --> 01:11:55,170
She frantically tried to save money
in any way so they could stay...
954
01:11:55,371 --> 01:11:59,034
...eating less, not buying lipstick.
955
01:12:02,378 --> 01:12:07,315
She'd stopped drinking when they moved
to 1060, but now she stopped stopping.
956
01:12:07,917 --> 01:12:11,717
And when that failed
to restore a sense of calm...
957
01:12:13,322 --> 01:12:16,382
...she swallowed
a bottle of sleeping pills.
958
01:12:30,239 --> 01:12:32,400
I'm sorry about before.
959
01:12:34,243 --> 01:12:36,438
I thought you were trying to trick me.
960
01:12:38,614 --> 01:12:40,172
Trick you?
961
01:12:40,716 --> 01:12:42,911
My mother killed herself too.
962
01:12:45,521 --> 01:12:46,613
How?
963
01:12:46,789 --> 01:12:49,781
The slow way. Drank herself to death.
964
01:12:51,627 --> 01:12:52,855
Drinking.
965
01:12:53,429 --> 01:12:56,193
Suicide for the faint of heart.
966
01:12:57,133 --> 01:13:00,262
My brother couldn't wait.
He killed himself too.
967
01:13:00,604 --> 01:13:01,866
My God.
968
01:13:02,973 --> 01:13:05,533
- So you're all alone?
- No.
969
01:13:07,110 --> 01:13:08,771
I have a sister.
970
01:13:09,947 --> 01:13:12,279
You want to know what I think about her?
971
01:13:12,983 --> 01:13:15,884
I think she's one evil bastard.
972
01:13:17,454 --> 01:13:20,321
You want to see the ball-busting letter
she sent me?
973
01:13:34,471 --> 01:13:35,904
Pay attention.
974
01:13:37,908 --> 01:13:40,138
This could be good for our book.
975
01:13:52,389 --> 01:13:53,720
I don't feel like talking.
976
01:13:53,891 --> 01:13:56,951
I thought we were off to a good start.
977
01:13:57,294 --> 01:14:00,058
After you left, that asshole next door said:
978
01:14:00,230 --> 01:14:03,631
"Hey, Smith, how come your mother
and brother never visit?" He'd heard.
979
01:14:03,800 --> 01:14:05,028
Fuck him, who cares?
980
01:14:05,202 --> 01:14:08,035
You see, when I'm talking to you,
I forget other people are gonna read it.
981
01:14:08,205 --> 01:14:10,401
And then I think abut how you
stabbed Brando in the back.
982
01:14:10,575 --> 01:14:14,067
Perry, what I'm gonna write about you
will help people think more of you.
983
01:14:14,245 --> 01:14:16,736
You're not thinking clearly.
How can you?
984
01:14:16,915 --> 01:14:19,884
You're under the most
unimaginable pressure.
985
01:14:20,051 --> 01:14:22,246
Aw, doesn't wittle Perry wike it here?
986
01:14:22,420 --> 01:14:25,480
- Shut the fuck up, Andrews!
- Hush now.
987
01:14:26,524 --> 01:14:28,082
Be above him.
988
01:14:31,229 --> 01:14:32,491
Come.
989
01:14:43,775 --> 01:14:46,573
This can be our little tree house.
990
01:14:48,413 --> 01:14:51,041
How come y'all are so quiet?
991
01:14:52,717 --> 01:14:54,082
Now...
992
01:14:56,220 --> 01:14:58,620
...I want you to relax.
993
01:14:59,090 --> 01:15:01,923
I can't. Not here. Not with him.
994
01:15:02,093 --> 01:15:05,995
I may be wrong,
but there was something in your letter...
995
01:15:06,164 --> 01:15:09,429
...that made me think
you have the soul of an artist.
996
01:15:10,401 --> 01:15:14,360
Artists have the power,
through our imagination...
997
01:15:14,539 --> 01:15:19,442
...to escape a degenerate world
and create a better one.
998
01:15:20,646 --> 01:15:21,738
How?
999
01:15:22,247 --> 01:15:25,876
- Close your eyes.
- Why?
1000
01:15:27,953 --> 01:15:29,477
Trust me.
1001
01:15:31,957 --> 01:15:36,621
Now I want you
to picture the most serene...
1002
01:15:36,929 --> 01:15:39,955
...and relaxing place you know.
1003
01:15:40,399 --> 01:15:41,798
Mexico.
1004
01:15:41,967 --> 01:15:46,301
I know it well.
Water like liquid turquoise.
1005
01:15:48,240 --> 01:15:52,301
Feel that hot sun beating down on you...
1006
01:15:53,746 --> 01:15:57,341
...warming all the tension out of you.
1007
01:15:58,150 --> 01:16:01,813
Feel the heat soaking into you.
1008
01:16:03,822 --> 01:16:04,948
And then...
1009
01:16:06,258 --> 01:16:09,989
...gentle as a feather
falling past your cheek...
1010
01:16:11,597 --> 01:16:13,656
...there's a breeze.
1011
01:16:16,935 --> 01:16:18,368
Close them.
1012
01:16:20,005 --> 01:16:21,199
Good.
1013
01:16:22,441 --> 01:16:24,671
Feel the breeze...
1014
01:16:27,846 --> 01:16:30,941
...that sensual breath from heaven.
1015
01:16:33,186 --> 01:16:35,313
Just let go...
1016
01:16:36,289 --> 01:16:38,849
...relax every muscle.
1017
01:16:51,671 --> 01:16:53,002
I'm ready.
1018
01:16:56,476 --> 01:17:00,640
When I was a boy,
we were always moving around.
1019
01:17:00,814 --> 01:17:04,306
His parents were rodeo performers.
1020
01:17:04,484 --> 01:17:07,453
It was a hard life in lots of ways...
1021
01:17:07,854 --> 01:17:10,516
... but it sure looked good once we lost it.
1022
01:17:11,658 --> 01:17:14,149
Mom and Dad had to quit.
1023
01:17:14,961 --> 01:17:18,328
That kind of riding wears your bones out.
1024
01:17:18,998 --> 01:17:22,627
But that's what they were: Riders.
1025
01:17:23,636 --> 01:17:25,797
So, when that went away...
1026
01:17:26,840 --> 01:17:28,467
...everything went with it.
1027
01:17:29,576 --> 01:17:31,635
Jesus, Flo.
1028
01:17:31,811 --> 01:17:33,472
Fuck off! It's just beer.
1029
01:17:34,681 --> 01:17:35,807
Fucking asshole!
1030
01:17:37,584 --> 01:17:42,022
So Mom left him, and she took me
and my brother and sister with her.
1031
01:17:47,661 --> 01:17:50,152
I dreamed Dad would rescue me.
1032
01:17:50,564 --> 01:17:52,327
How funny.
1033
01:17:54,368 --> 01:17:55,699
Me too.
1034
01:17:59,039 --> 01:18:03,339
Every day I waited for him,
but he never came.
1035
01:18:03,511 --> 01:18:06,036
And then one day
I was walking to school...
1036
01:18:13,754 --> 01:18:15,915
Please be real. Please be real.
1037
01:18:16,257 --> 01:18:18,157
Please be real.
1038
01:18:21,362 --> 01:18:22,522
Dad.
1039
01:18:25,566 --> 01:18:27,466
Are you here to take me with you?
1040
01:18:27,635 --> 01:18:31,071
I wish I could, but I can't.
1041
01:18:32,807 --> 01:18:34,968
I don't know how to take care of you.
1042
01:18:38,412 --> 01:18:41,313
I came to tell you to be
the best boy you can be.
1043
01:18:42,616 --> 01:18:44,550
And he made me get down.
1044
01:18:45,619 --> 01:18:49,453
He hated his old lady.
Never forgave her.
1045
01:18:49,623 --> 01:18:52,057
She took his daddy away.
1046
01:18:52,493 --> 01:18:54,189
A boy needs his daddy.
1047
01:18:54,796 --> 01:18:56,855
And did he hate the father too?
1048
01:18:57,299 --> 01:19:02,362
He always said he hated his old man,
but he used to do this thing...
1049
01:19:02,537 --> 01:19:07,270
...this excruciatingly poignant thing.
1050
01:19:08,043 --> 01:19:12,776
Dick says that sometimes
when I'd be sleeping...
1051
01:19:14,616 --> 01:19:15,776
Dad!
1052
01:19:18,887 --> 01:19:20,184
Dad!
1053
01:19:21,623 --> 01:19:22,988
Where you been?
1054
01:19:24,826 --> 01:19:26,851
I've been looking everywhere for you.
1055
01:19:28,797 --> 01:19:31,459
Years later, after the Army...
1056
01:19:31,633 --> 01:19:35,364
... I got a letter from Dad saying
he had an idea to make money.
1057
01:19:35,537 --> 01:19:37,368
Wanted me to come help him.
1058
01:19:38,707 --> 01:19:43,542
And I'd be lying to you if I told you I wasn't
pretty jazzed up when I got his letter.
1059
01:19:43,712 --> 01:19:45,703
He finally had a place for me.
1060
01:19:46,548 --> 01:19:50,211
I was gonna sing and play my guitar
in the bar.
1061
01:19:50,886 --> 01:19:55,220
I painted all the pictures.
I even painted the sign.
1062
01:19:55,390 --> 01:19:57,085
Nobody's coming here!
1063
01:19:59,494 --> 01:20:00,984
Nobody!
1064
01:20:01,863 --> 01:20:03,388
Know why?
1065
01:20:03,900 --> 01:20:08,166
It's because of you,
you useless piece of shit!
1066
01:20:08,337 --> 01:20:10,362
Your fucking sign is no good!
1067
01:20:10,539 --> 01:20:13,667
I said, "Buy a neon sign"...
1068
01:20:13,876 --> 01:20:16,401
...and you said, "I'll paint us a good one."
1069
01:20:16,579 --> 01:20:17,910
Fucking sissy.
1070
01:20:26,055 --> 01:20:27,044
Come on.
1071
01:20:27,723 --> 01:20:29,918
He killed me, this guy.
1072
01:20:30,359 --> 01:20:35,262
Over and over my whole life,
the things he said and did to me.
1073
01:20:37,566 --> 01:20:40,364
It was always like having a knife in me.
1074
01:20:40,603 --> 01:20:45,370
So I decided to kill him right then,
in cold blood.
1075
01:20:47,777 --> 01:20:49,608
Sissy.
1076
01:20:49,879 --> 01:20:51,141
But I couldn't do it.
1077
01:20:52,448 --> 01:20:56,714
And all this stuff about Dad
and everything...
1078
01:20:58,788 --> 01:21:01,552
...it's gonna make me look like
a fucking crybaby.
1079
01:21:01,724 --> 01:21:05,888
No! It will help people see you
as a complete person...
1080
01:21:06,128 --> 01:21:10,792
...not just as someone who has caused
suffering, but as someone who has suffered.
1081
01:21:12,635 --> 01:21:14,831
Can I see what you've written so far?
1082
01:21:15,005 --> 01:21:18,668
Not till it's perfect.
But I promise, it's sympathetic.
1083
01:21:19,476 --> 01:21:22,172
No one's ever treated me like you have.
1084
01:21:23,313 --> 01:21:25,645
Is it just to get me to tell you stuff?
1085
01:21:26,116 --> 01:21:27,174
No.
1086
01:21:27,818 --> 01:21:30,150
It's because I respect you.
1087
01:21:32,089 --> 01:21:34,751
All right. Time's up.
1088
01:21:45,836 --> 01:21:50,273
- Thanks for that beautiful thing you said.
- What beautiful thing?
1089
01:21:51,475 --> 01:21:53,067
About respect.
1090
01:22:25,476 --> 01:22:27,842
So, I'm sympathetic, am I?
1091
01:22:28,679 --> 01:22:31,273
You been looking out for me, have you?
1092
01:22:32,016 --> 01:22:36,953
What's the title of your book?
The "sympathetic" one about me?
1093
01:22:39,357 --> 01:22:44,294
I know the title. The fucking guard told me,
and it's not sympathetic.
1094
01:22:46,197 --> 01:22:49,291
It's called In Cold Blood, isn't it?
1095
01:22:49,967 --> 01:22:54,233
It is, isn't it?
It's called In Cold Fucking Blood!
1096
01:22:54,405 --> 01:22:56,305
You sold me out, you shit...
1097
01:22:56,474 --> 01:22:59,534
...after I opened myself up
and gave you everything.
1098
01:22:59,977 --> 01:23:02,207
Well, you're not gonna get away with it.
1099
01:23:03,648 --> 01:23:05,411
One sound out of you...
1100
01:23:06,517 --> 01:23:09,543
...and you'll join the Clutters in hell.
1101
01:23:10,655 --> 01:23:11,644
Okay?
1102
01:23:18,396 --> 01:23:20,159
Open your mouth!
1103
01:23:21,833 --> 01:23:24,097
Open your mouth!
1104
01:23:25,002 --> 01:23:28,165
Open your fucking lying mouth!
1105
01:23:29,540 --> 01:23:32,168
You're gonna pay for that title now.
1106
01:23:33,177 --> 01:23:36,739
You fucked me,
so now I'm gonna fuck you.
1107
01:24:14,319 --> 01:24:16,549
I'm not gonna rape you...
1108
01:24:17,256 --> 01:24:20,783
...because you can trust me.
1109
01:24:22,427 --> 01:24:23,894
But look.
1110
01:24:25,097 --> 01:24:26,530
Look
1111
01:24:29,568 --> 01:24:34,335
That's how your fucking title made me feel.
1112
01:24:56,596 --> 01:24:58,154
Don't let him in.
1113
01:24:59,165 --> 01:25:00,996
I need to talk to you, please.
1114
01:25:01,167 --> 01:25:02,429
From there.
1115
01:25:05,705 --> 01:25:07,764
Can we have some privacy?
1116
01:25:14,380 --> 01:25:19,283
In Cold Blood is the title of my book,
but it's not exactly what you think.
1117
01:25:20,787 --> 01:25:23,119
You boys did a monstrous thing.
1118
01:25:23,289 --> 01:25:26,884
And the public and their prosecutors
are calling for your blood.
1119
01:25:27,060 --> 01:25:29,790
If they get what they want,
they will kill you...
1120
01:25:29,963 --> 01:25:34,832
...not in a senseless moment of passion,
but with scrupulous premeditation.
1121
01:25:35,001 --> 01:25:38,402
That is the legal definition
of "in cold blood."
1122
01:25:38,571 --> 01:25:41,904
This title is a condemnation of their plans.
1123
01:25:42,075 --> 01:25:44,202
But not only their plans.
1124
01:25:44,377 --> 01:25:47,369
No. No, not only.
1125
01:25:48,381 --> 01:25:52,477
Look, you did a terrible thing.
You're not innocent.
1126
01:25:53,553 --> 01:25:58,218
That doesn't mean you're not
a human being. I want people to see that.
1127
01:25:58,392 --> 01:26:01,850
I'm not talking to you
until I've read what you've written.
1128
01:26:15,843 --> 01:26:17,834
It's tough to read the family stuff.
1129
01:26:19,580 --> 01:26:23,243
- But you told it to me.
- Not my family.
1130
01:26:24,418 --> 01:26:25,908
The Clutters.
1131
01:26:31,091 --> 01:26:34,390
There better be more than this in this house,
or you'll sure be sorry.
1132
01:26:36,263 --> 01:26:37,525
Get him to the basement.
1133
01:26:37,931 --> 01:26:39,592
I'll get the old man.
1134
01:26:40,567 --> 01:26:45,231
You don't think about it
if someone has a boyfriend, or is in 4-H.
1135
01:26:45,406 --> 01:26:49,206
Why don't you put some clothes on?
It's gonna be cold down there.
1136
01:26:50,044 --> 01:26:51,238
Yes, sir.
1137
01:26:51,412 --> 01:26:53,778
We didn't know anything about them.
1138
01:26:57,618 --> 01:26:59,779
Except that they had a safe.
1139
01:27:00,487 --> 01:27:03,115
But I don't have a safe.
1140
01:27:03,557 --> 01:27:07,823
How old are you, baby?
Well, now don't be scared.
1141
01:27:08,630 --> 01:27:12,691
- Let me help you down with these covers.
- Hey! Out here, now.
1142
01:27:13,068 --> 01:27:14,228
Now!
1143
01:27:16,037 --> 01:27:19,564
- You touch her, and I'll kill you.
- You can ride her when I'm done.
1144
01:27:19,741 --> 01:27:22,767
Let's just go. There's no safe.
You fucking blew that!
1145
01:27:22,944 --> 01:27:26,710
We're not leaving, baby.
They've seen us plain.
1146
01:27:26,881 --> 01:27:30,282
Get down to the basement so we
can take care of that. I'll be there soon.
1147
01:27:30,452 --> 01:27:31,976
I'm not leaving you here.
1148
01:27:32,954 --> 01:27:34,945
Fuck you, then!
1149
01:27:36,124 --> 01:27:37,455
Let's go.
1150
01:28:24,774 --> 01:28:26,867
I know this is crazy...
1151
01:28:27,877 --> 01:28:30,937
...but when I looked in his eyes,
I was thinking:
1152
01:28:31,414 --> 01:28:33,882
"Too bad we couldn't be friends."
1153
01:28:35,251 --> 01:28:38,220
He had 4-H stuff in his room.
1154
01:28:38,587 --> 01:28:41,784
And, I could have told him about my folks
and the rodeo.
1155
01:28:47,263 --> 01:28:50,323
- Why don't you kiss him?
- Fuck off!
1156
01:28:50,499 --> 01:28:52,399
You never like anything to do with girls.
1157
01:28:52,568 --> 01:28:54,160
- You never want a whore.
- Shut up!
1158
01:28:54,336 --> 01:28:56,270
You won't even watch me
when I'm on one.
1159
01:28:56,439 --> 01:28:57,963
- You like boys better?
- Shut up!
1160
01:28:58,140 --> 01:29:00,734
- Go ahead. Then I can break his sister's box!
- Shut up!
1161
01:29:00,910 --> 01:29:02,901
Go ahead, sugar, kiss him.
1162
01:29:04,146 --> 01:29:06,410
Or would you rather kiss his daddy?
1163
01:29:17,593 --> 01:29:19,993
Shit, Perry! His hand came free!
1164
01:29:42,953 --> 01:29:45,786
Now, now you kill the women.
1165
01:30:10,847 --> 01:30:12,906
I wish I could have saved them...
1166
01:30:14,818 --> 01:30:16,308
...but at least...
1167
01:30:18,355 --> 01:30:20,755
I knew what he wanted to do to that girl.
1168
01:30:26,596 --> 01:30:28,689
Least I spared her that.
1169
01:30:41,746 --> 01:30:46,012
About the best example I can give you
of his split nature is this.
1170
01:30:46,183 --> 01:30:49,152
He told me what he thought
of Herb Clutter.
1171
01:30:49,320 --> 01:30:54,019
He said, "Right before I cut his throat
I was thinking how nice he was."
1172
01:30:54,191 --> 01:30:56,716
"He was a nice soft-spoken gentleman.
1173
01:30:56,894 --> 01:30:59,829
I thought that right before
I cut his throat."
1174
01:31:00,264 --> 01:31:03,665
"I thought he was a very nice gentleman.
Soft-spoken.
1175
01:31:04,235 --> 01:31:08,171
I thought so right up to the moment
I cut his throat."
1176
01:31:08,339 --> 01:31:10,398
What an extraordinary thing to say.
1177
01:31:10,575 --> 01:31:12,042
Extraordinary.
1178
01:31:28,492 --> 01:31:29,891
So how's the book?
1179
01:31:30,061 --> 01:31:34,191
Well, it's coming. I have to leave
in a couple days for their trial.
1180
01:31:34,365 --> 01:31:37,493
That's all pro forma, right?
They're not contesting anything, are they?
1181
01:31:37,668 --> 01:31:40,228
No, they hope for life, not death.
1182
01:31:40,404 --> 01:31:42,565
Death would be better for the book.
1183
01:31:42,740 --> 01:31:46,870
It would satisfy the readers more,
and it would make the title work too.
1184
01:31:48,579 --> 01:31:52,539
Honey, I've worked harder on this
than anything my whole life.
1185
01:31:52,718 --> 01:31:57,018
I don't want it ruined just because
a jury makes a dumb decision.
1186
01:31:58,056 --> 01:32:00,650
Gentlemen of the jury,
have you reached a verdict?
1187
01:32:00,826 --> 01:32:02,157
We have, Your Honor.
1188
01:32:02,794 --> 01:32:05,319
Will the clerk please bring the verdict up?
1189
01:32:11,970 --> 01:32:15,633
We, the jury, find the defendant,
Perry Edward Smith...
1190
01:32:16,241 --> 01:32:19,438
...guilty of the crime of murder
in the first degree.
1191
01:32:20,178 --> 01:32:21,475
And the punishment...
1192
01:32:25,617 --> 01:32:27,585
...is death.
1193
01:32:31,323 --> 01:32:34,292
- Will you appeal?
- Dick wants to.
1194
01:32:35,060 --> 01:32:38,086
But we'll hang. We should.
1195
01:32:39,631 --> 01:32:41,963
You think hanging is fair?
1196
01:32:42,234 --> 01:32:45,203
It's funny.
Last night I was laying awake...
1197
01:32:45,671 --> 01:32:49,266
...and thinking:
"What is punishment?"
1198
01:32:50,409 --> 01:32:54,470
Being in jail isn't punishment,
if you didn't like it on the outside.
1199
01:32:55,313 --> 01:32:59,010
And neither is death,
if it was painful to live.
1200
01:33:01,820 --> 01:33:04,153
I'll tell you what punishment is for me.
1201
01:33:04,657 --> 01:33:05,749
What?
1202
01:33:06,459 --> 01:33:09,986
It's hoping there's someone for you.
1203
01:33:11,698 --> 01:33:17,830
And after years of no one
you find him and you can't have him.
1204
01:33:32,719 --> 01:33:37,179
- We really connected, didn't we?
- Of course, we did.
1205
01:33:37,356 --> 01:33:40,189
You weren't being nice to me
just for the book, were you?
1206
01:33:40,359 --> 01:33:43,487
No! I think about you all the time.
1207
01:33:43,663 --> 01:33:47,190
- Dick too?
- Only for the book.
1208
01:33:48,701 --> 01:33:51,568
You're the only person
I ever feel real around.
1209
01:33:51,904 --> 01:33:53,030
Me too.
1210
01:33:53,272 --> 01:33:57,606
I don't have to act
like a little wind-up toy with you.
1211
01:34:07,220 --> 01:34:08,448
Perry...
1212
01:34:10,556 --> 01:34:12,990
...I don't want you to die.
1213
01:34:57,638 --> 01:35:00,334
Look, Ron and Nancy Reagan we're not.
1214
01:35:02,876 --> 01:35:07,609
We're apart for long times.
We know we have to have sex.
1215
01:35:09,783 --> 01:35:16,188
But we're men. We can have sex
just to release the desire to have sex.
1216
01:35:16,723 --> 01:35:19,453
What's not allowed is falling in love.
1217
01:35:28,703 --> 01:35:31,035
You see, that would be a betrayal.
1218
01:35:34,342 --> 01:35:37,709
A terrible breach of a very mature...
1219
01:35:38,880 --> 01:35:41,815
...and very sensible arrangement.
1220
01:35:41,983 --> 01:35:46,443
After the verdicts,
Truman buried himself in the book.
1221
01:35:46,621 --> 01:35:49,283
By mid-'63 it was done.
1222
01:35:49,457 --> 01:35:53,917
Perfect as a diamond,
as tough, as multi-faceted...
1223
01:35:54,362 --> 01:35:56,023
...only this time...
1224
01:35:56,197 --> 01:35:58,165
...it had kindness.
1225
01:35:59,200 --> 01:36:02,863
But we couldn't publish it
until it had an ending...
1226
01:36:03,037 --> 01:36:06,370
...until something had been settled
about the boys.
1227
01:36:06,574 --> 01:36:09,475
There were four appeals,
all the way to the Supreme Court.
1228
01:36:09,644 --> 01:36:12,169
It took five full years
for a final judgment.
1229
01:36:12,347 --> 01:36:17,649
That was hard on the killers, which doesn't
make a dime's difference to me. But...
1230
01:36:29,564 --> 01:36:33,000
Do you have any word yet
about when the book is coming out?
1231
01:36:33,167 --> 01:36:34,429
I don't know.
1232
01:36:37,706 --> 01:36:41,233
You simply cannot conceive
of the agony.
1233
01:36:44,613 --> 01:36:49,050
I've worked on this book ceaselessly
for four years...
1234
01:36:50,019 --> 01:36:54,922
...pouring the whole of myself into it,
head and heart.
1235
01:36:55,291 --> 01:36:58,021
And then to be waiting like this...
1236
01:36:58,193 --> 01:37:01,685
...unable to publish what I've done
until they're hanged.
1237
01:37:02,331 --> 01:37:04,060
I can hardly wait.
1238
01:37:05,100 --> 01:37:09,560
Do you feel that your book is worth
a human life?
1239
01:37:09,738 --> 01:37:13,765
- Well, it's certainly worth Dick's.
- What about the other man?
1240
01:37:14,343 --> 01:37:17,437
His name is Perry.
1241
01:37:18,347 --> 01:37:21,339
I mean, it's just an intolerable position.
1242
01:37:22,584 --> 01:37:26,520
Because to get an ending for the book
means an end for...
1243
01:37:35,564 --> 01:37:39,056
on death row,
you may only write two letters a week.
1244
01:37:40,436 --> 01:37:43,428
Every week, for five years...
1245
01:37:45,708 --> 01:37:47,939
...Perry wrote both letters to Truman.
1246
01:37:48,111 --> 01:37:51,410
Friend Truman, cold in Kansas today...
1247
01:37:51,681 --> 01:37:55,276
...though not as frigid as I imagine
it is in Switzerland.
1248
01:37:55,752 --> 01:37:57,379
How big are those Alps?
1249
01:37:57,554 --> 01:38:01,388
Friend Truman, do you know the song
"Gold Mine in the Sky"?
1250
01:38:02,158 --> 01:38:03,785
It was Dad's favorite.
1251
01:38:05,161 --> 01:38:08,562
Maybe you could use your influence
with the authorities in this shithole...
1252
01:38:08,732 --> 01:38:11,326
... and get me a tape recorder
so I could sing it for you.
1253
01:38:11,501 --> 01:38:13,469
Not much to say today.
1254
01:38:14,004 --> 01:38:15,631
Awful blue.
1255
01:38:16,773 --> 01:38:20,004
God, I miss you. Please write soon.
1256
01:38:20,176 --> 01:38:23,339
You can't imagine what it does to me
when they bring the mail...
1257
01:38:23,513 --> 01:38:25,242
... and there's something from you.
1258
01:38:25,415 --> 01:38:26,746
Friend Truman:
1259
01:38:27,817 --> 01:38:29,478
It's all over.
1260
01:38:30,520 --> 01:38:32,920
Our last appeal has been denied.
1261
01:38:33,089 --> 01:38:36,320
Dick and I are allowed
to have a witness at the hanging.
1262
01:38:36,493 --> 01:38:39,587
We both pick you.
1263
01:38:39,796 --> 01:38:43,254
- You have to come with me.
- I can't.
1264
01:38:43,433 --> 01:38:48,393
I'm getting desperate about my new book.
It's not coming together.
1265
01:38:56,479 --> 01:38:58,914
Anyway,
I thought this was what you wanted.
1266
01:38:59,083 --> 01:39:01,176
I know I said that...
1267
01:39:01,719 --> 01:39:03,812
...but to see him killed?
1268
01:39:06,223 --> 01:39:08,214
It's too much.
1269
01:39:09,060 --> 01:39:11,426
- I don't suppose Jack would?
- No.
1270
01:39:13,264 --> 01:39:14,993
He wouldn't anyway, but...
1271
01:39:15,733 --> 01:39:19,726
...for some reason,
he gets funny about Perry.
1272
01:39:21,338 --> 01:39:23,670
It's like he's jealous.
1273
01:39:28,846 --> 01:39:30,040
Truman...
1274
01:39:33,584 --> 01:39:35,108
...are you and Perry?
1275
01:39:35,286 --> 01:39:37,083
Please, Nelle.
1276
01:39:39,090 --> 01:39:41,081
I'm begging you.
1277
01:39:43,928 --> 01:39:45,418
But I couldn't.
1278
01:39:46,597 --> 01:39:48,087
And I wouldn't.
1279
01:39:51,268 --> 01:39:54,635
I'm sorry, he can't take the call.
1280
01:39:57,641 --> 01:39:59,074
It was the boys again.
1281
01:39:59,477 --> 01:40:01,274
They want me to help...
1282
01:40:02,279 --> 01:40:03,769
...but I can't help them.
1283
01:40:04,815 --> 01:40:08,217
Maybe they want you for comfort.
1284
01:40:12,924 --> 01:40:14,551
Rain is good.
1285
01:40:16,795 --> 01:40:19,389
I hope he apologizes.
1286
01:40:22,100 --> 01:40:24,830
That would really make him sympathetic.
1287
01:40:35,647 --> 01:40:38,639
Hey, Truman. Where you been?
1288
01:40:41,653 --> 01:40:43,678
I thought you were gonna spend
the whole day with us.
1289
01:40:43,855 --> 01:40:48,792
I couldn't get here earlier.
I was making calls on your behalf.
1290
01:40:53,198 --> 01:40:54,927
It's just so late now.
1291
01:40:55,100 --> 01:40:58,501
- Hickock, let's get ready.
- We have some time.
1292
01:41:00,005 --> 01:41:02,200
I have something I want to tell you.
1293
01:41:03,375 --> 01:41:08,312
They're gonna ask if you have anything
to say, and you must apologize.
1294
01:41:10,215 --> 01:41:16,711
- That won't bring them back.
- No. It restores your humanity to you.
1295
01:41:33,272 --> 01:41:34,739
It's time.
1296
01:41:36,375 --> 01:41:39,572
Anyone saying goodbye
needs to say it here.
1297
01:41:47,086 --> 01:41:48,485
Bye, Truman.
1298
01:41:49,622 --> 01:41:50,953
Thanks for it.
1299
01:42:14,614 --> 01:42:16,479
Did he say anything to you?
1300
01:42:18,884 --> 01:42:22,183
He said he loved me...
1301
01:42:22,655 --> 01:42:24,885
...and he always had.
1302
01:43:09,736 --> 01:43:14,230
Richard Eugene Hickock.
Do you have anything to say?
1303
01:43:18,078 --> 01:43:20,512
Just that I hold no hard feelings.
1304
01:43:22,082 --> 01:43:23,674
You people are...
1305
01:43:24,518 --> 01:43:28,181
...sending me to a better world
than this one ever was.
1306
01:43:52,213 --> 01:43:56,206
"The Lord is my shepherd.
I shall not want.
1307
01:43:57,585 --> 01:44:00,884
He maketh me to lie down
in green pastures.
1308
01:44:01,055 --> 01:44:03,216
He restoreth my soul.
1309
01:44:03,791 --> 01:44:07,989
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness
for His name's sake.
1310
01:44:09,163 --> 01:44:11,927
Yea, though I walk through
the valley of the shadow of death...
1311
01:44:13,468 --> 01:44:17,427
...I will fear no evil,
for Thou art with me."
1312
01:44:43,698 --> 01:44:44,926
Not dead yet.
1313
01:45:13,362 --> 01:45:14,795
I still hear breathing.
1314
01:45:47,663 --> 01:45:48,857
Okay, he's ready.
1315
01:46:37,146 --> 01:46:41,378
Perry Edward Smith.
Do you have anything to say?
1316
01:46:44,554 --> 01:46:46,044
Friend Truman...
1317
01:46:47,423 --> 01:46:51,120
... I don't know what you did,
but the tape recorder arrived.
1318
01:46:53,830 --> 01:46:59,894
There's a gold mine in the sky
Far away
1319
01:47:01,804 --> 01:47:08,175
We will find it
You and I, some sweet day
1320
01:47:09,812 --> 01:47:15,718
There'll be a clover just for you
Down the line
1321
01:47:17,755 --> 01:47:23,990
Where the skies are always blue
Pal of mine
1322
01:47:26,430 --> 01:47:29,058
Far away
1323
01:47:31,602 --> 01:47:34,002
Far away
1324
01:47:35,673 --> 01:47:42,169
We will find that long lost gold mine
Some sweet day
1325
01:47:43,681 --> 01:47:49,415
And we'll say hello to friends
Who said goodbye
1326
01:47:51,422 --> 01:47:56,052
When we find that long lost gold mine
1327
01:47:57,161 --> 01:47:58,924
In the...
1328
01:48:00,764 --> 01:48:01,753
... sky
1329
01:48:02,333 --> 01:48:06,429
"The Lord is my shepherd.
I shall not want.
1330
01:48:06,737 --> 01:48:07,726
He maketh me..."
1331
01:48:19,083 --> 01:48:21,142
Was he able to speak?
1332
01:48:21,318 --> 01:48:22,808
Yes, he spoke.
1333
01:48:23,555 --> 01:48:24,920
What did he say?
1334
01:48:25,991 --> 01:48:27,891
Smith did not speak.
1335
01:48:28,059 --> 01:48:30,425
He apologized.
1336
01:48:30,895 --> 01:48:32,920
Just chewed his gum.
1337
01:48:34,399 --> 01:48:38,665
You saw those two men hanged.
It must be...
1338
01:48:41,272 --> 01:48:43,206
Isn't it painful for you?
1339
01:48:48,213 --> 01:48:52,206
Babaling, life is painful.
1340
01:48:52,651 --> 01:48:56,951
It's the one experience
that unites rich and poor.
1341
01:48:57,956 --> 01:49:01,915
I suppose I'm able to endure it...
1342
01:49:02,093 --> 01:49:06,393
...because I can alchemize
what wounds me into art.
1343
01:49:07,399 --> 01:49:08,457
Yes, but...
1344
01:49:12,737 --> 01:49:14,637
...at what cost?
1345
01:49:16,775 --> 01:49:21,610
It made him the most famous author
in America and very, very rich.
1346
01:49:21,780 --> 01:49:24,510
He moved to Manhattan where, oddly...
1347
01:49:24,683 --> 01:49:29,450
...he had a very good view
of the place he had left.
1348
01:49:40,533 --> 01:49:43,502
Who ever knows
what our hearts will want?
1349
01:49:44,837 --> 01:49:46,099
Who can...
1350
01:49:48,474 --> 01:49:50,772
...defend themselves from it?
1351
01:49:57,783 --> 01:50:00,445
Seeing what's happened to him since...
1352
01:50:00,720 --> 01:50:05,180
...well, despite the bravado
that only appears to be confidence...
1353
01:50:06,692 --> 01:50:12,096
...I have come to feel
with great heart-sickness...
1354
01:50:15,768 --> 01:50:19,704
...that there were three deaths
on the gallows that night.
1355
01:50:20,406 --> 01:50:22,840
He never wrote anything big again.
1356
01:50:23,175 --> 01:50:27,339
Just collections,
fragments pulled together.
1357
01:50:28,514 --> 01:50:33,884
God knows he didn't have to write,
not after all that money on In Cold Blood.
1358
01:50:35,521 --> 01:50:37,113
It's funny.
1359
01:50:37,356 --> 01:50:41,122
It made him, and it ruined him.
1360
01:50:41,560 --> 01:50:43,187
You know, in his will...
1361
01:50:45,298 --> 01:50:47,823
...Perry left everything to Truman.
1362
01:50:55,642 --> 01:51:00,136
America is not a country
where the small gesture goes noticed.
1363
01:51:01,248 --> 01:51:04,183
We're not a country like France...
1364
01:51:05,185 --> 01:51:09,519
...where charm,
something light or effervescent...
1365
01:51:09,689 --> 01:51:11,384
...can survive.
1366
01:51:12,392 --> 01:51:14,485
We want everything you have...
1367
01:51:14,661 --> 01:51:18,153
...and we want it as fast
as you can turn it out.
1368
01:52:01,409 --> 01:52:02,808
Friend TRUMAN
1369
01:52:08,983 --> 01:52:11,975
I read an interview with Frank Sinatra...
1370
01:52:12,153 --> 01:52:14,986
...in which he said about Judy Garland:
1371
01:52:15,156 --> 01:52:19,889
"Every time she sings, she dies a little."
1372
01:52:21,863 --> 01:52:24,297
That's how much she gave.
1373
01:52:27,702 --> 01:52:30,000
It's true for writers, too...
1374
01:52:31,272 --> 01:52:34,105
...who hope to create something lasting.
1375
01:52:35,643 --> 01:52:38,339
They die a little getting it right.
1376
01:52:40,147 --> 01:52:42,775
And then the book comes out...
1377
01:52:44,785 --> 01:52:46,685
... and there's a dinner.
1378
01:52:47,889 --> 01:52:50,221
Maybe they give you a prize.
1379
01:52:51,859 --> 01:52:55,989
And then comes the inevitable
and very American question:
1380
01:52:56,163 --> 01:52:57,790
What's next?
1381
01:53:02,069 --> 01:53:04,401
But the next thing can be...
1382
01:53:08,143 --> 01:53:09,974
...so hard...
1383
01:53:13,515 --> 01:53:16,245
...because now you know
what it demands.
1384
01:53:18,587 --> 01:53:20,077
Hi, Nelle.
1385
01:53:20,255 --> 01:53:24,487
I just began my novel
and I had such a good morning writing...
1386
01:53:24,660 --> 01:53:26,719
...that I want to celebrate.
1387
01:53:26,895 --> 01:53:28,829
Want to come to lunch?
1388
01:53:31,900 --> 01:53:35,267
No, honey, I don't care where.
1389
01:53:38,106 --> 01:53:41,405
Just someplace pretty
where we can have fun...
1390
01:53:42,077 --> 01:53:44,068
...and be ourselves.
1391
01:58:29,134 --> 01:58:31,125
