4
00:02:15,204 --> 00:02:16,906
Mrs. Kennedy?
5
00:02:18,147 --> 00:02:20,149
They told me to come up.
6
00:02:20,288 --> 00:02:23,002
And I'm so sorry for your loss.
7
00:02:24,652 --> 00:02:27,536
Have you read what they've been writing?
8
00:02:27,644 --> 00:02:30,481
Krock and Merriman and all the rest?
9
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,596
Yes, I have.
10
00:02:33,743 --> 00:02:36,279
Merriman is such a bitter man.
11
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:38,983
It's been just one week.
12
00:02:39,126 --> 00:02:42,173
Already they're treating him
like some dusty old artifact,
13
00:02:42,208 --> 00:02:43,711
to be shelved away.
14
00:02:44,981 --> 00:02:47,278
That's no way to be remembered.
15
00:02:47,313 --> 00:02:49,637
And how would you like him
remembered, Mrs. Kennedy?
16
00:02:49,672 --> 00:02:50,857
(STAMMERS) I...
17
00:02:50,908 --> 00:02:55,671
You understand that I will
be editing this conversation?
18
00:02:55,751 --> 00:02:59,914
Just in case I don't
say exactly what I mean.
19
00:03:00,062 --> 00:03:00,852
With all due respect,
20
00:03:00,910 --> 00:03:03,179
that seems very unlikely, Mrs. Kennedy.
21
00:03:07,723 --> 00:03:12,214
(CHUCKLES) Right. Okay. Uh...
22
00:03:12,315 --> 00:03:17,621
So, this will be your own
version of what happened?
23
00:03:17,907 --> 00:03:19,443
Exactly.
24
00:03:20,336 --> 00:03:21,738
Come in.
25
00:03:26,955 --> 00:03:29,169
I thought it was another backfire.
26
00:03:30,580 --> 00:03:34,147
I very nearly didn't
go. What if I'd been here
27
00:03:34,203 --> 00:03:36,839
or out riding in Virginia somewhere?
28
00:03:37,965 --> 00:03:40,168
Thank God I was with him.
29
00:03:41,272 --> 00:03:43,672
Why, "Thank God"?
30
00:03:43,930 --> 00:03:45,867
Do you know what I think of history?
31
00:03:48,012 --> 00:03:49,544
Of history?
32
00:03:49,762 --> 00:03:52,947
I've read a great deal.
More than people realize.
33
00:03:52,982 --> 00:03:54,611
The more I read, the more I wonder...
34
00:03:54,684 --> 00:03:55,819
When something is written down,
35
00:03:55,854 --> 00:03:58,056
does that make it true?
36
00:03:58,373 --> 00:03:59,405
It's all that we have.
37
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:00,440
Had.
38
00:04:00,721 --> 00:04:02,407
We have television now.
39
00:04:02,442 --> 00:04:04,899
At least people can see for their own eyes.
40
00:04:05,976 --> 00:04:06,883
That tour of the White House
41
00:04:06,953 --> 00:04:08,833
that you did a couple of years ago for CBS,
42
00:04:08,890 --> 00:04:11,626
I always assumed that you did that for
43
00:04:13,796 --> 00:04:16,256
a purpose? No? After the fashion magazines?
44
00:04:16,343 --> 00:04:18,002
You even won an Emmy.
45
00:04:18,069 --> 00:04:19,714
I didn't do that program for me.
46
00:04:19,786 --> 00:04:22,333
I did it for the American people.
47
00:04:22,445 --> 00:04:23,842
That program was my first glimpse
48
00:04:23,930 --> 00:04:24,709
into the White House
49
00:04:24,771 --> 00:04:27,323
and, for whatever it's worth,
I thought you were excellent.
50
00:04:27,387 --> 00:04:28,610
- Very poised.
- Oh, thank you.
51
00:04:28,645 --> 00:04:31,415
You could have had a career
as a broadcaster, I'm sure.
52
00:04:32,101 --> 00:04:33,403
What?
53
00:04:36,364 --> 00:04:37,203
I'm sorry?
54
00:04:37,305 --> 00:04:38,941
What did you say?
55
00:04:38,988 --> 00:04:41,655
I said you could have
a career... (CHUCKLES)
56
00:04:41,751 --> 00:04:43,303
Could have had a career as a broadcaster.
57
00:04:43,364 --> 00:04:45,739
Are you giving me professional advice?
58
00:04:46,134 --> 00:04:47,870
I'm
59
00:04:49,911 --> 00:04:51,313
not.
60
00:04:52,667 --> 00:04:55,895
But I am sure that the whole
country would like to know
61
00:04:55,976 --> 00:04:57,613
what you're going to do next.
62
00:04:57,648 --> 00:05:00,120
I can assure you, not television.
63
00:05:00,628 --> 00:05:03,636
(INHALES DEEPLY) Welcome
to the White House.
64
00:05:05,954 --> 00:05:08,089
Welcome to the White House.
65
00:05:08,187 --> 00:05:10,924
We're so proud to call it home.
66
00:05:11,221 --> 00:05:13,963
Why don't you try, "The People's House"?
67
00:05:14,029 --> 00:05:15,507
Make it more personal.
68
00:05:17,307 --> 00:05:19,354
Welcome to The People's House.
69
00:05:19,433 --> 00:05:21,936
We're so proud to call it home.
70
00:05:22,003 --> 00:05:23,371
Better?
71
00:05:24,272 --> 00:05:26,341
When will Jack join us?
72
00:05:26,409 --> 00:05:28,476
They want to hear from you.
73
00:05:28,543 --> 00:05:30,245
They think I'm a fool.
74
00:05:30,312 --> 00:05:32,366
One year in office, wasting their money.
75
00:05:32,447 --> 00:05:35,584
That's why you need to
show them what you've done.
76
00:05:35,773 --> 00:05:37,817
The President will join
you in the Monroe Room
77
00:05:37,865 --> 00:05:39,700
at the end of the tour.
78
00:05:39,735 --> 00:05:41,937
You'll be great.
79
00:05:42,156 --> 00:05:44,231
- Stay close.
- Of course.
80
00:05:44,305 --> 00:05:47,883
- You look beautiful. Go.

84
00:06:00,950 --> 00:06:03,121
as seen from its South Lawn.
85
00:06:03,204 --> 00:06:05,312
For the next hour,
Mrs. John F. Kennedy
86
00:06:05,374 --> 00:06:07,469
invites you to visit
the President's House
87
00:06:07,582 --> 00:06:09,068
and see some of the restorations
88
00:06:09,123 --> 00:06:10,791
she's made in its interior.
89
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,555
Mrs. John F. Kennedy,
90
00:06:13,694 --> 00:06:17,965
third-youngest of the 29 wives
to live in the White House.
91
00:06:23,697 --> 00:06:25,574
Mrs. Kennedy, I want to thank you
92
00:06:25,627 --> 00:06:28,401
for letting us visit
your official home.
93
00:06:28,503 --> 00:06:29,732
This is obviously the room
94
00:06:29,794 --> 00:06:32,304
from which much of your
work on it is directed.
95
00:06:32,373 --> 00:06:35,542
Yes, it's attic and
cellar all in one.
96
00:06:35,610 --> 00:06:36,835
Since our work started,
97
00:06:36,876 --> 00:06:39,746
we receive hundreds
of letters every day.
98
00:06:40,064 --> 00:06:42,716
This is where we
evaluate all the finds,
99
00:06:42,816 --> 00:06:43,984
and see if we want to keep them,
100
00:06:44,019 --> 00:06:46,120
if they'll fit into our budget.
101
00:06:46,962 --> 00:06:49,799
Mrs. Kennedy, every First Lady
102
00:06:49,942 --> 00:06:52,609
and every administration since
President Madison's time,
103
00:06:52,673 --> 00:06:54,057
has made changes,
104
00:06:54,128 --> 00:06:56,234
greater or smaller, in the White House.
105
00:06:56,307 --> 00:06:59,499
Before we look at any of
the changes you've made...
106
00:06:59,553 --> 00:07:02,114
Now, what's your basic plan?
107
00:07:03,604 --> 00:07:05,520
Well, I really don't have one.
108
00:07:05,614 --> 00:07:10,378
Because I think this house
will always grow, and should.
109
00:07:10,413 --> 00:07:12,095
It just seemed to me such a shame
110
00:07:12,147 --> 00:07:13,780
when we came here to find
111
00:07:13,864 --> 00:07:17,007
hardly anything of
the past in the house.
112
00:07:17,051 --> 00:07:19,659
Hardly anything before 1902.
113
00:07:19,719 --> 00:07:22,289
COLLINGWOOD: Now suppose
that you and your committee
114
00:07:22,324 --> 00:07:23,742
were to acquire some of the things
115
00:07:23,803 --> 00:07:26,273
that are in this room,
116
00:07:26,628 --> 00:07:29,013
what happens when the
next President's wife
117
00:07:29,077 --> 00:07:30,946
comes into the White House?
118
00:07:32,052 --> 00:07:35,188
(INHALES DEEPLY) Well,
if they don't want it...
119
00:07:35,409 --> 00:07:36,647
In the past, you see,
120
00:07:36,717 --> 00:07:39,353
they could sell it or throw it out.
121
00:07:41,943 --> 00:07:44,308
And the talk of the
taxpayer money being wasted?
122
00:07:44,343 --> 00:07:46,773
JACKIE: Oh, I raised every dime privately
123
00:07:46,826 --> 00:07:48,885
that we spent on that restoration.
124
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:50,488
I... I loved that house,
125
00:07:50,563 --> 00:07:52,839
and I wanted to share it
with the American people.
126
00:07:52,874 --> 00:07:56,449
To impart a sense of America's greatness.
127
00:07:56,507 --> 00:07:59,771
(STAMMERS) Objects and artifacts
128
00:07:59,851 --> 00:08:02,527
last far longer than people,
129
00:08:02,562 --> 00:08:06,401
and they represent
important ideas in history,
130
00:08:06,471 --> 00:08:09,204
identity, beauty.
131
00:08:09,295 --> 00:08:12,569
But I'm sure that, uh, the
readers would like to know
132
00:08:12,659 --> 00:08:16,682
what it's like to be a
member of your family?
133
00:08:17,555 --> 00:08:22,737
Imagine a little boy
surrounded by all of this.
134
00:08:22,805 --> 00:08:24,955
Having his older brother die in battle,
135
00:08:25,009 --> 00:08:26,577
and then going off to that same war
136
00:08:26,612 --> 00:08:28,247
and coming home a hero.
137
00:08:29,401 --> 00:08:32,503
People see that little boy,
138
00:08:32,630 --> 00:08:35,400
born to wealth and privilege,
139
00:08:35,467 --> 00:08:39,372
willing to sacrifice
everything for his ideals
140
00:08:39,431 --> 00:08:40,831
in service to his nation.
141
00:08:40,892 --> 00:08:43,547
Royalty. You make him sound like royalty.
142
00:08:43,621 --> 00:08:47,391
Well, for royalty you need tradition.
143
00:08:47,485 --> 00:08:51,190
And for tradition, you need time.
144
00:08:53,095 --> 00:08:56,400
Well, I guess it has to
start somewhere, right?
145
00:08:56,447 --> 00:08:59,918
There has to be a day one.
146
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,039
COLLINGWOOD: This is the East Room,
147
00:09:02,074 --> 00:09:04,259
pretty much as Americans
148
00:09:04,341 --> 00:09:06,671
have known it now for 60 years.
149
00:09:06,717 --> 00:09:07,985
Obviously you haven't felt that
150
00:09:08,020 --> 00:09:11,067
you had to make any
great changes in here.
151
00:09:11,137 --> 00:09:13,306
No, I think it's lovely.
152
00:09:13,434 --> 00:09:15,536
I hate to make changes really,
153
00:09:15,617 --> 00:09:17,999
so when you find a room like this,
154
00:09:18,061 --> 00:09:19,601
it's wonderful. This...
155
00:09:19,636 --> 00:09:21,338
COLLINGWOOD: This
piano brings to mind
156
00:09:21,406 --> 00:09:23,824
that, uh, this is the
part of the White House
157
00:09:23,888 --> 00:09:27,187
where you have the musical affairs.
158
00:09:27,341 --> 00:09:31,984
That's right. This piano was
designed by Franklin Roosevelt
159
00:09:32,048 --> 00:09:34,393
with the eagle support.
160
00:09:34,492 --> 00:09:36,854
And this is the end of the room
161
00:09:36,889 --> 00:09:39,223
where Pablo Casals played for us,
162
00:09:39,337 --> 00:09:41,066
where we had a portable stage built,
163
00:09:41,127 --> 00:09:43,796
when we had the Shakespeare players.
164
00:09:44,029 --> 00:09:46,537
COLLINGWOOD: Mrs. Kennedy,
this administration
165
00:09:46,612 --> 00:09:48,613
has shown a particular affinity
166
00:09:48,706 --> 00:09:52,210
for artists, musicians, writers, poets...
167
00:09:52,350 --> 00:09:54,160
Is this because you and your husband
168
00:09:54,219 --> 00:09:55,555
just feel that way,
169
00:09:55,682 --> 00:09:57,783
or do you think that there's a relationship
170
00:09:57,904 --> 00:10:00,222
between the government and the arts?
171
00:10:01,399 --> 00:10:03,534
That's so complicated.
172
00:10:03,580 --> 00:10:05,303
I... I don't know.
173
00:10:05,370 --> 00:10:06,907
I just think that everything
174
00:10:06,969 --> 00:10:09,482
in the White House
should be the best.
175
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,029
(PLAYING CLASSICAL MUSIC)
176
00:10:29,392 --> 00:10:32,548
And if it's an American company
177
00:10:32,616 --> 00:10:34,625
that you can help, I like to do that.
178
00:10:34,699 --> 00:10:38,360
If it's not... Just as
long as it's the best.

00:34:55,595 --> 00:35:00,332
O Israel, put your hope in the Lord,
544
00:35:00,452 --> 00:35:04,690
for with the Lord is unfailing love.

Excuse me, Mother. Jackie.
547
00:35:35,987 --> 00:35:38,857
Have you started on the
guest list for the burial?
548
00:35:39,008 --> 00:35:40,047
The what?
549
00:35:40,135 --> 00:35:42,069
You'll need to pare it down, dear.
550
00:35:42,402 --> 00:35:46,318
We can't possibly accommodate
all these people at Brookline.
551
00:35:46,950 --> 00:35:50,033
VALENTI: (SOFTLY) Mr. Kennedy, we
need to discuss the funeral, sir.
552
00:35:50,403 --> 00:35:51,606
We all want to follow her lead,
553
00:35:51,668 --> 00:35:53,545
but we still don't know
much about this Oswald.
554
00:35:53,605 --> 00:35:55,784
There may be co-conspirators.
555
00:35:56,957 --> 00:36:00,176
I'll talk to her, but she makes the call.
556
00:36:00,234 --> 00:36:02,670
There's also the matter of the Oval.
557
00:36:04,604 --> 00:36:06,472
What do you want me to do first?
558
00:36:06,766 --> 00:36:09,013
Hmm? Plan the funeral
or pack the furniture?
559
00:36:09,070 --> 00:36:10,343
I know this is all delicate.
560
00:36:10,416 --> 00:36:11,681
That's why I'm approaching you.
561
00:36:11,775 --> 00:36:13,905
But a procession is insane.

00:36:15,788 --> 00:36:17,591
The family plot.
564
00:36:19,575 --> 00:36:22,708
Well, I assume Jack will be
buried with the rest of us.
565
00:36:22,780 --> 00:36:24,583
A crowd full of people,
given what's happened,
566
00:36:24,638 --> 00:36:26,894
I just can't have my President walking.
567
00:36:26,968 --> 00:36:29,437
- Your President?
- My President.

Well, regardless of what happens,
570
00:36:33,316 --> 00:36:35,170
my brother is going to be carried in a box.
571
00:36:35,224 --> 00:36:37,094
And I am sorry, sir.
572

Fuck off, Jack.

JANET: Averell Harriman owns
574
00:36:49,740 --> 00:36:52,526
at least four properties in Georgetown.
575
00:36:52,625 --> 00:36:55,094
I'm sure he could loan out one of them.

00:36:55,129 --> 00:36:57,264
NANCY: I'll have Sarge look into it.
577
00:36:57,299 --> 00:36:58,262
I'm sure we have time.

00:36:58,307 --> 00:37:00,766
They can't expect us to
move immediately, can they?
579

JANET: Of course not. Don't be silly.

Lincoln's widow died destitute.
581
00:37:07,482 --> 00:37:09,759
She moved back to Illinois,
582

had to sell all her furniture.
583
00:37:12,343 --> 00:37:16,075
And the Van Burens and the Tylers, too.
584
00:37:16,110 --> 00:37:19,312
She auctioned it off, piece by piece,
585
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,336
just to keep a roof over her head.
586
00:37:21,397 --> 00:37:23,207
NANCY: But that won't happen to you.
587
00:37:23,242 --> 00:37:25,398
And the collectors we bought it from...
588
00:37:25,433 --> 00:37:26,635
Remember? Bill and I,
589
00:37:26,670 --> 00:37:29,273
we had to haggle over
every sofa, every chair.
590
00:37:31,740 --> 00:37:33,742
If I sell some of it back now,
591
00:37:33,777 --> 00:37:36,714
maybe I can put John and
Caroline through school.
592
00:37:37,111 --> 00:37:40,315
COLLINGWOOD: This staircase
goes up to the second floor,
593
00:37:40,382 --> 00:37:42,306
which I know are reserved
594
00:37:42,378 --> 00:37:44,835
for the private living of
the President and his family.
595
00:37:44,870 --> 00:37:47,027
I don't think any television cameras
596
00:37:47,100 --> 00:37:50,256
or motion picture cameras
have ever gone up there,
597
00:37:50,291 --> 00:37:52,548
'cause that's where you live.
598

That's right.

Here is what the White House
did to President Lincoln.
600
00:37:59,202 --> 00:38:01,674
Here is how he changed.
601
00:38:02,105 --> 00:38:03,917

the arched eyebrow.
603
00:38:07,444 --> 00:38:09,705
1865.
604
00:38:10,745 --> 00:38:13,448
One week before his assassination.
605
00:38:15,353 --> 00:38:17,412
Mrs. Kennedy, do you
spend a great deal of time
606
00:38:17,484 --> 00:38:18,739
in the Lincoln Room?
607
00:38:18,821 --> 00:38:21,177
JACKIE: It was where we
lived when we first came here,
608
00:38:21,212 --> 00:38:22,913
when our rooms at the other end of the hall
609
00:38:22,948 --> 00:38:24,120
were being painted.
610
00:38:24,168 --> 00:38:24,966
COLLINGWOOD: It's a nice room.
611
00:38:25,001 --> 00:38:27,623
Was this a bedroom during Lincoln's time?
612
00:38:27,682 --> 00:38:30,601
JACKIE: No, it was, uh,
Lincoln's Cabinet Room.
613
00:38:30,668 --> 00:38:31,479
COLLINGWOOD: Are all the pieces
614
00:38:31,553 --> 00:38:32,990
from Lincoln's time?
615
00:38:35,032 --> 00:38:36,882
JACKIE: Uh, yes, they are.
616
00:38:36,958 --> 00:38:40,495
The most famous one, of
course, is the Lincoln bed.
617
00:38:40,530 --> 00:38:42,599
It was bought by Mrs. Lincoln,
618
00:38:42,634 --> 00:38:44,437
along with the dressing bureaus
619
00:38:44,525 --> 00:38:47,179
and chair, and this table.
620
00:38:47,214 --> 00:38:50,238
Um, she bought a lot of
furniture for this house,
621
00:38:50,300 --> 00:38:52,240
which made her husband rather cross
622
00:38:52,288 --> 00:38:55,092
because he thought she
spent too much money.
623
00:39:01,036 --> 00:39:04,974
And on the table is
the Gettysburg Address.
624
00:39:05,102 --> 00:39:08,639
This is probably the greatest
treasure in this room.
625
00:39:10,225 --> 00:39:13,122
And this sofa and these two chairs,
626
00:39:13,157 --> 00:39:15,604
they were sold in that Lincoln sale
627
00:39:15,639 --> 00:39:17,085
I was telling you about,
628
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:19,079
that Mrs. Lincoln sold.
629
00:39:19,177 --> 00:39:20,556
And they went to England,
630
00:39:20,656 --> 00:39:22,172
and then through the descendants
631
00:39:22,207 --> 00:39:24,735
of the man who brought them there.

Here he comes out and
down the hall again.

I really don't know what
this situation is about.

Nobody has told me anything,
except that I'm accused of...

I don't mean to upset your mother,
638
00:39:42,731 --> 00:39:45,936

place to bury a President.

"that Jack wasn't perfect,

Perfect people can't change.
758
00:48:59,990 --> 00:49:02,108
Jack was always getting better,
759
00:49:02,176 --> 00:49:03,502
stronger.
760
00:49:04,505 --> 00:49:08,385
Sometimes he would walk
into the desert alone,
761
00:49:08,815 --> 00:49:11,918
just to let himself be
tempted by the devil.
762
00:49:12,946 --> 00:49:15,181
But he'd always come back to us,
763
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:17,196
his beloved family.
764
00:49:19,928 --> 00:49:21,596
(EXHALES)
765
00:49:22,134 --> 00:49:23,803
And I don't smoke.
766
00:49:28,181 --> 00:49:29,970
JACKIE: I shouldn't say these things.
767
00:49:32,674 --> 00:49:34,667
PRIEST: That's why we're here, isn't it?
768
00:49:34,935 --> 00:49:36,700
To talk about what happened?
769
00:49:38,352 --> 00:49:39,931
Is this a confession?
770
00:49:40,421 --> 00:49:42,523
Only if there's something you regret.
771
00:49:43,363 --> 00:49:45,432
Everyone knows my story.
772
00:49:45,839 --> 00:49:48,765
God isn't interested in stories.
773
00:49:49,405 --> 00:49:51,486
He's interested in the truth.
774
00:49:53,147 --> 00:49:55,929
I came here looking for sympathy, Father.
775
00:49:57,818 --> 00:49:59,287
Of course.
776
00:50:00,935 --> 00:50:02,838
Father, are you listening?
777
00:50:04,061 --> 00:50:05,304
I'm listening.
778
00:50:06,817 --> 00:50:08,029
Yes, I think so.
779
00:50:11,300 --> 00:50:13,304
I think God is cruel.
780
00:50:14,464 --> 00:50:16,453
Well, now you're getting into trouble.
781
00:50:18,167 --> 00:50:19,736
God is love.
782
00:50:22,759 --> 00:50:24,494
And God is everywhere.
783
00:50:24,753 --> 00:50:27,456
Was he in the bullet that killed Jack?
784
00:50:28,559 --> 00:50:30,227
Absolutely.
785
00:50:30,454 --> 00:50:32,690
Is he inside me now?
786
00:50:32,875 --> 00:50:34,689
Yes, of course. Of course he is.
787
00:50:35,626 --> 00:50:37,639
Well, that's a funny game he plays,
788
00:50:37,693 --> 00:50:39,128
hiding all the time.
789
00:50:39,362 --> 00:50:40,830
(CHUCKLING) The fact that
we don't understand him
790
00:50:40,904 --> 00:50:42,411
isn't funny at all.
791
00:50:43,900 --> 00:50:46,007
If there's a heaven, then there's your God,
792
00:50:46,042 --> 00:50:48,310
with all his empty promises.
793
00:50:48,538 --> 00:50:49,871
What kind of God takes a father
794
00:50:49,925 --> 00:50:51,825
from his two little children?
795
00:50:51,993 --> 00:50:54,430
Thy Lord sacrificed his only son...
796
00:50:54,465 --> 00:50:56,300
And my two babies.
797
00:50:56,512 --> 00:50:58,348
Arabella in the womb.
798
00:50:58,446 --> 00:51:00,985
And Patrick. Thirty-nine hours on Earth.
799
00:51:01,052 --> 00:51:03,453
Just long enough to fall in love with him.
800
00:51:04,594 --> 00:51:06,576
What did I do to deserve that?
801
00:51:07,377 --> 00:51:08,513
Nothing.
802
00:51:10,628 --> 00:51:13,730
Jack and I hardly ever
spent the night together.
803
00:51:13,884 --> 00:51:16,721
Not even that last night in Fort Worth.
804
00:51:18,101 --> 00:51:20,927
Your husband loved you,
Mrs. Kennedy. I'm sure of it.
805
00:51:20,998 --> 00:51:24,535
I seem to remember there
being more to our vows.
806
00:51:27,730 --> 00:51:29,612
Don't look at me like that.
807
00:51:29,705 --> 00:51:31,412
I was First Lady of the United States.
808
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:34,586
Women have endured far worse for far less.
809
00:51:35,365 --> 00:51:36,987
There are two kinds of women.
810
00:51:37,055 --> 00:51:38,828
Those who want power in the world,
811
00:51:38,898 --> 00:51:41,783
and those who want power in bed.
812
00:51:43,927 --> 00:51:46,809
(CHUCKLES) Of course,
now what am I left with?
813
00:51:49,552 --> 00:51:52,680
When men see me now, what
do you think they feel?
814
00:51:54,570 --> 00:51:55,972
Sadness.
815
00:51:56,660 --> 00:51:58,162
Compassion.
816
00:52:01,023 --> 00:52:02,592
Desire, maybe.
817
00:52:02,766 --> 00:52:05,325
You're still a young woman, Mrs. Kennedy.
818
00:52:06,482 --> 00:52:08,923
I used to make them smile.
819
00:52:14,405 --> 00:52:17,639
No one understands the pain he was in
820
00:52:17,674 --> 00:52:19,226
and how loyal he was.
821
00:52:19,288 --> 00:52:21,858
Just some of his friends were so crude.
822
00:52:24,186 --> 00:52:25,521
Jack wasn't, of course.
823
00:52:25,556 --> 00:52:27,625
But he could get caught up in it.
824
00:52:30,967 --> 00:52:33,327
Still, he was a great father.
825
00:52:33,976 --> 00:52:36,895
I picture him on that
rocking chair in his office,
826
00:52:36,975 --> 00:52:39,282
Caroline and John at his feet.
827
00:52:40,275 --> 00:52:42,013
How could I hate him?
828
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:46,650
Take comfort in those memories.
829
00:52:47,157 --> 00:52:48,425
I can't.
830
00:52:48,578 --> 00:52:50,676

836
00:53:13,529 --> 00:53:15,823
Even the Soviet Foreign Minister.
837
00:53:16,118 --> 00:53:17,452
More than we were expecting?
838
00:53:17,507 --> 00:53:18,307
Oh, yes.
839
00:53:18,361 --> 00:53:19,949

00:53:19,984 --> 00:53:20,986

Yes.

Lester B. Pearson.

00:53:46,119 --> 00:53:48,287
Austria, the Chancellor.
852
00:53:49,052 --> 00:53:49,621
I don't know.
853
00:53:49,656 --> 00:53:52,427
I think you should just try it without it.

Mmm-hmm. Yeah.
858
00:54:07,653 --> 00:54:10,515
I used to worry that you
might be jealous of me.
859
00:54:10,550 --> 00:54:11,463
Oh, stop it.
860
00:54:11,510 --> 00:54:14,826
No, you never did anything
to make me feel that way.
861
00:54:15,954 --> 00:54:18,704
But I worried. After I married Jack.
862
00:54:18,776 --> 00:54:20,691
After he won the election.
863
00:54:21,745 --> 00:54:24,032
Now that seems ridiculous,
864
00:54:24,106 --> 00:54:28,225
anyone... Anyone being jealous of me.

but you have your whole life ahead of you.

That's a terrible thing to say.

00:54:55,433 --> 00:54:56,159
You do!

PETTIT: There's the prisoner.
900
00:55:52,445 --> 00:55:54,148
There is Lee Oswald.
901
00:55:54,222 --> 00:55:56,605
- (GUNSHOT)
- (OSWALD GROANS)
902
00:55:56,652 --> 00:55:59,182
He's been shot. He's been shot.
903
00:55:59,298 --> 00:56:01,333
Lee Oswald has been shot.
904
00:56:01,452 --> 00:56:03,881
- There's a man with a gun.
- (SOFTLY) Jesus Christ.
905
00:56:04,002 --> 00:56:05,370
Are you ready to go?
906
00:56:05,551 --> 00:56:06,652
Yeah.
907
00:56:07,873 --> 00:56:09,111
Will you look at me?
908
00:56:10,109 --> 00:56:12,008
Mommy, is it my birthday?
909
00:56:12,043 --> 00:56:13,212
Not yet, dear.
910
00:56:13,247 --> 00:56:16,921
But why am I wearing my party clothes?
911
00:56:18,996 --> 00:56:20,565
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
912
00:56:21,913 --> 00:56:23,212
Special Agent Hill.
913
00:56:23,247 --> 00:56:25,182
Whenever Mrs. Kennedy is ready.
914
00:56:25,410 --> 00:56:26,627
Oh, Clint.
915
00:56:30,805 --> 00:56:32,436
We're nearly done here.
916
00:56:36,745 --> 00:56:38,904
It's the strangest thing.
917
00:56:39,596 --> 00:56:42,146
I hardly remember anything after.
918
00:56:43,250 --> 00:56:45,919
But I read about what
you did in the papers,
919
00:56:45,980 --> 00:56:48,050
and I just wanted to thank you.
920
00:56:48,123 --> 00:56:49,288
We got to get a handle on this thing.
921
00:56:49,345 --> 00:56:51,025
- We got to get involved.
- Yes, sir.
922
00:56:52,567 --> 00:56:55,873
This is making us look like
a bunch of goddamn barbarians.
923
00:56:55,908 --> 00:56:59,300
Mrs. Kennedy is on her
way down with the children.
924
00:56:59,374 --> 00:57:00,904
Turn the television off!
925
00:57:03,878 --> 00:57:06,281
You're not to speak a word of this.
926
00:57:06,439 --> 00:57:09,580
Understood? I'll tell Jackie
when the time is right.
927
00:57:10,724 --> 00:57:11,859
Sit down.
928
00:57:13,115 --> 00:57:14,917
Excuse me?
929
00:57:14,983 --> 00:57:16,785
Sit down.
930
00:57:16,852 --> 00:57:18,089
LADY BIRD: Darling?
931
00:57:23,143 --> 00:57:25,965
What do you remember? Will
you tell me everything?
932
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:27,438
I need to hear.
933
00:57:27,473 --> 00:57:29,109
Mrs. Kennedy...
934
00:57:31,860 --> 00:57:34,262
I was ten yards back when
I heard the first shot.
935
00:57:35,697 --> 00:57:37,986
And as my eyes crossed
the President's car...
936
00:57:41,068 --> 00:57:43,238
(SIGHS DEEPLY) Mrs. Kennedy...
937
00:57:44,113 --> 00:57:46,214
Keep going.
938
00:57:46,334 --> 00:57:50,192
I had to get to you,
put myself between you,
939
00:57:50,246 --> 00:57:52,141
the President, and the shooter.
940
00:57:52,193 --> 00:57:53,537
JACKIE: Who was it?
941
00:57:55,062 --> 00:57:56,446
Was it that Oswald?
942
00:57:56,481 --> 00:57:57,706
(SIGHS) They think so.
943
00:57:57,763 --> 00:57:59,288
I need to talk to him.
944
00:58:00,844 --> 00:58:01,604
Uh...
945
00:58:01,639 --> 00:58:03,207
I need to talk to him.
946
00:58:04,867 --> 00:58:09,034
I don't... I don't know
about that, Mrs. Kennedy.
947
00:58:13,307 --> 00:58:14,431
NANCY: The children are ready.
948
00:58:14,492 --> 00:58:17,210
Shall I take them
downstairs to ride with Maud?
949
00:58:17,245 --> 00:58:19,162
I would like them to come with me.
950
00:58:19,222 --> 00:58:20,706
But the press is out front...
951
00:58:20,751 --> 00:58:23,727
Their father is leaving
this house for the last time.
952
00:58:23,801 --> 00:58:25,983
They should be there to say goodbye to him.
953
00:58:26,041 --> 00:58:27,254
But the cameras.
954
00:58:27,289 --> 00:58:28,630
Those pictures are being broadcast
955
00:58:28,677 --> 00:58:30,142
to every corner of the world.
956
00:58:30,199 --> 00:58:33,302
Those pictures should record the truth.
957
00:58:33,394 --> 00:58:34,745
Two heartbroken,
958
00:58:34,821 --> 00:58:37,358
fatherless children are part of that.
959
00:58:38,962 --> 00:58:41,020
You can tell them I'm ready to leave,
960
00:58:41,055 --> 00:58:42,457
with Caroline and John.
961
00:58:42,492 --> 00:58:43,692
Yes, Mrs. Kennedy.
962
00:58:43,793 --> 00:58:45,473
- Nancy?
- Yes?
963
00:58:45,508 --> 00:58:47,886
I'm not the First Lady anymore.
964
00:58:48,343 --> 00:58:50,173
You can call me Jackie.
965
00:58:51,159 --> 00:58:52,327
I will.
966
00:58:56,503 --> 00:58:59,782
Caroline, are you ready, sweetheart?
967
00:59:00,101 --> 00:59:01,702
My brave girl.
968
00:59:02,997 --> 00:59:04,602
(JOHN JR. CRYING)
969
00:59:04,637 --> 00:59:07,192
Oh, John, John, John.
970
00:59:07,227 --> 00:59:09,033
Let me take you, son.
971
00:59:10,324 --> 00:59:12,332
JACKIE: I value my privacy.
972
00:59:12,367 --> 00:59:13,568
I always have.
973
00:59:13,614 --> 00:59:15,227
And yet, in the days after,
974
00:59:15,262 --> 00:59:17,798
directly after, something seemed to change.
975
00:59:17,833 --> 00:59:19,022
In what way?
976
00:59:19,081 --> 00:59:20,013
Before the funeral,
977
00:59:20,056 --> 00:59:22,660
the day you moved the
casket to the Capitol,
978
00:59:22,801 --> 00:59:25,276
well, your children were on full display
979
00:59:25,364 --> 00:59:26,944
for the whole world to see.
980
00:59:27,012 --> 00:59:28,612
Well, what are you insinuating,
981
00:59:28,683 --> 00:59:29,672
that I exploited them?
982
00:59:29,731 --> 00:59:32,167
Oh, no, of course not. I just, um...
983
00:59:35,087 --> 00:59:38,225
OFFICER: Present arms!
984
01:00:07,648 --> 01:00:09,406
JOURNALIST: I'm only
wondering if you ever
985
01:00:09,494 --> 01:00:11,762
considered to do more to shield them.
986
01:00:11,836 --> 01:00:14,458
I think that most people would have...
987
01:00:14,573 --> 01:00:17,510
We aren't most people.
988
01:00:17,599 --> 01:00:19,639
Most people don't have to
make decisions like that,
989
01:00:19,721 --> 01:00:22,355
hours after watching
their husband get murdered
990
01:00:22,399 --> 01:00:23,734
next to them.
991
01:00:32,140 --> 01:00:33,269
Oh, Lyndon.
992
01:00:34,162 --> 01:00:37,232
What an awful way to begin your presidency.
993
01:01:02,956 --> 01:01:04,710
Are you saying it was a mistake?
994
01:01:05,427 --> 01:01:08,297
No, of course not.
995
01:01:31,844 --> 01:01:33,580
JACKIE: How dare you?
996
01:01:33,722 --> 01:01:35,783
They murdered him inside the jail.
997
01:01:36,084 --> 01:01:38,319
These people can get to anyone.
998
01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:40,422
How dare you keep that from me?
999
01:01:40,476 --> 01:01:41,845
You had no right! The children?
1000
01:01:41,913 --> 01:01:43,009
The ceremony at the Capitol...
1001
01:01:43,044 --> 01:01:44,201
I took them out the front door.
1002
01:01:44,248 --> 01:01:45,633
- Are you...
- This is all insanity!
1003
01:01:45,690 --> 01:01:46,487
You and your brother.
1004
01:01:46,522 --> 01:01:48,733
All these years, all your goddamn secrets!
1005
01:01:48,781 --> 01:01:50,925
- That's not fair...
- Caroline and John are all I have left,
1006
01:01:50,985 --> 01:01:53,303
and I put them in danger because of you.
1007
01:01:53,379 --> 01:01:55,247
I would never put you at risk.
1008
01:01:55,342 --> 01:01:56,880
You can't know that!
1009
01:01:56,960 --> 01:01:58,948
You think you all control everything,
1010
01:01:59,024 --> 01:02:01,493
that you have the world on puppet strings.
1011
01:02:01,822 --> 01:02:05,565
And you're ridiculous. And
I let myself believe it.
1012
01:02:06,267 --> 01:02:08,295
And this parade? Who is it really for?
1013
01:02:08,342 --> 01:02:09,536
For Jack?
1014
01:02:09,590 --> 01:02:12,918
One more campaign stop
along the way to the grave?
1015
01:02:13,299 --> 01:02:15,268
Lyndon's people are right.
1016
01:02:15,651 --> 01:02:16,323
It's not worth it.
1017
01:02:16,358 --> 01:02:18,225
It's not worth risking people's lives.
1018
01:02:18,271 --> 01:02:20,245
You tell them we're calling it off.
1019
01:02:20,298 --> 01:02:21,900
We'll motorcade to the Cathedral.
1020
01:02:21,988 --> 01:02:22,970
The back way.
1021
01:02:23,005 --> 01:02:25,256
And then we'll bury him, and
we put an end to all this.
1022
01:02:25,330 --> 01:02:27,329
I don't give a damn anymore.
1023
01:02:27,827 --> 01:02:28,977
I don't.
1024
01:02:29,816 --> 01:02:31,080
I would never put you and
the children in danger.
1025
01:02:31,115 --> 01:02:34,362
I know you think I'm some
silly little debutante.
1026
01:02:34,484 --> 01:02:36,195
- Listen to me.
- You don't protect me anymore.
1027
01:02:36,230 --> 01:02:38,618
I would never put you and
the children in danger.
1028
01:02:39,700 --> 01:02:41,535
You don't know anything.
1029
01:02:48,408 --> 01:02:53,138
I lie awake at night,
and all I can think is
1030
01:02:53,239 --> 01:02:54,887
I should have been a shop girl
1031
01:02:54,940 --> 01:02:56,375
or a stenographer.
1032
01:02:56,483 --> 01:03:01,728
I should have married an
ordinary, lazy, ugly man.
1033
01:03:08,280 --> 01:03:12,085
Let me share with you a parable.
1034
01:03:14,960 --> 01:03:16,529
Jesus
1035
01:03:18,045 --> 01:03:21,607
once passed a blind beggar on the road,
1036
01:03:21,795 --> 01:03:25,343
and his disciples asked, "Who sinned,
1037
01:03:25,459 --> 01:03:28,679
"this man or his parents,
that he should be born blind?"
1038
01:03:28,748 --> 01:03:30,884
And Jesus said,
1039
01:03:30,991 --> 01:03:34,472
"Neither this man nor his parents sinned.
1040
01:03:35,593 --> 01:03:37,283
"He was made blind
1041
01:03:37,342 --> 01:03:40,459
"so that the works of God
could be revealed in him."
1042
01:03:41,392 --> 01:03:44,495
And with that, he placed mud on his eyes
1043
01:03:44,691 --> 01:03:47,929
and told him to wash in the Pool of Siloam.
1044
01:03:50,336 --> 01:03:53,706
And the man did, and he came back seeing.
1045
01:03:55,714 --> 01:03:57,601
Right now you are blind.
1046
01:03:57,678 --> 01:03:58,726
Not because you've sinned,
1047
01:03:58,761 --> 01:04:00,997
but because you've been chosen.
1048
01:04:02,695 --> 01:04:06,140
So that the works of God
can be revealed in you.
1049
01:04:14,462 --> 01:04:16,411
It's perfect.
1050
01:04:16,487 --> 01:04:18,793
We installed it while you were away.
1051
01:04:18,895 --> 01:04:20,146
I thought it'd be a nice surprise
1052
01:04:20,181 --> 01:04:21,046
for you and the President.
1053
01:04:21,081 --> 01:04:22,784
It changes everything.
1054
01:04:24,182 --> 01:04:26,080
And the Treaty Room?
1055
01:04:26,115 --> 01:04:27,572
Hunter green.
1056
01:04:27,713 --> 01:04:29,616
Exactly as you imagined it.
1057
01:04:30,821 --> 01:04:32,423
I wish Jack...
1058
01:04:33,947 --> 01:04:36,282
Who knows if he would have cared?
1059
01:04:38,412 --> 01:04:40,581
I lost track, somewhere...
1060
01:04:42,362 --> 01:04:43,964
What was real.
1061
01:04:45,859 --> 01:04:47,862
What was performance.
1062
01:04:48,027 --> 01:04:50,931
Well, he was a president.
1063
01:04:51,085 --> 01:04:52,696
You were right earlier.
1064
01:04:52,764 --> 01:04:56,563
I'm not going to march tomorrow.
1065
01:04:56,882 --> 01:05:00,153
I won't put people in danger
on account of my vanity.
1066
01:05:01,111 --> 01:05:03,375
I was scared for you. I still am.
1067
01:05:03,490 --> 01:05:05,130
But I never thought it was vanity.
1068
01:05:05,190 --> 01:05:07,879
You know, that's what Jack called all this.
1069
01:05:07,974 --> 01:05:10,299
When he saw what we were spending, he said,
1070
01:05:13,097 --> 01:05:14,658
"Your little vanity project
1071
01:05:14,693 --> 01:05:18,155
"is going to bankrupt
the federal government."
1072
01:05:18,190 --> 01:05:19,459
(SCOFFS)
1073
01:05:20,865 --> 01:05:22,568
People need their history.
1074
01:05:22,603 --> 01:05:24,193
It gives them strength.
1075
01:05:25,379 --> 01:05:29,534
They need to know that real
men actually lived here.
1076
01:05:29,734 --> 01:05:32,372
Not ghosts and storybook legends,
1077
01:05:32,545 --> 01:05:36,215

That's kind of you, Bill.

01:05:43,417 --> 01:05:45,787
Even I'm starting to lose him.
1081
01:05:48,522 --> 01:05:50,006
Pretty soon
1082
01:05:51,037 --> 01:05:53,205
he'll just be another oil portrait
1083
01:05:53,240 --> 01:05:55,158
lining these hallways.

01:06:54,575 --> 01:06:56,038
It's being handled.

Everyone will ride.
1092
01:06:59,288 --> 01:07:00,889
No procession.
1093
01:07:03,739 --> 01:07:05,556
I'm sorry, Bobby.
1094
01:07:11,907 --> 01:07:14,442
Do you think Lincoln's widow knew?
1095
01:07:15,885 --> 01:07:17,186
What?
1096
01:07:17,271 --> 01:07:20,108
That we'd build a monument to her husband?
1097
01:07:22,665 --> 01:07:25,696
Why is this room so peaceful?
1098
01:07:25,760 --> 01:07:27,964
"Peaceful"? I don't know.
1099
01:07:30,079 --> 01:07:31,398
Every time I walk by this room,
1100
01:07:31,465 --> 01:07:35,523
I'm reminded that on January 1st, 1863,
1101
01:07:35,573 --> 01:07:38,870
an ordinary man signed a document
1102
01:07:38,964 --> 01:07:41,635
that freed four million
people from slavery.
1103
01:07:42,797 --> 01:07:44,400
So,
1104
01:07:46,015 --> 01:07:49,318
I don't think of it so much as peaceful
1105
01:07:50,585 --> 01:07:53,634
as a place of profound legacy.
1106
01:07:55,647 --> 01:07:58,861
And it's too bad that ours
is totally fucking wasted.
1107
01:07:58,981 --> 01:08:00,126
Bobby!
1108
01:08:01,622 --> 01:08:02,823
What?
1109
01:08:03,150 --> 01:08:05,119
Bobby, watch your mouth.
1110
01:08:05,371 --> 01:08:08,332
What did we accomplish, huh?
1111
01:08:08,820 --> 01:08:11,691
We're just... We're just
the beautiful people?
1112
01:08:11,810 --> 01:08:13,324
Right? Isn't that what we are?
1113
01:08:13,359 --> 01:08:14,758
- Bobby.
- Because what did we...
1114
01:08:14,793 --> 01:08:17,656
What did we truly accomplish?
1115
01:08:18,863 --> 01:08:19,881
Maybe Jack will be remembered
1116
01:08:19,916 --> 01:08:21,389
for the way he handled the missile crisis,
1117
01:08:21,424 --> 01:08:22,872
or maybe he'll be remembered
1118
01:08:22,907 --> 01:08:24,335
for having created a crisis
1119
01:08:24,370 --> 01:08:26,473
that he was then forced to solve.

1121
01:08:34,078 --> 01:08:36,469

gets to handle Vietnam.

We teed it up for him.

01:08:45,590 --> 01:08:47,535
He gets to knock it down.
1126
01:08:49,634 --> 01:08:52,569
I shouldn't have pushed
him so hard on Castro.

You can't do that, Bobby.

1130
01:09:06,805 --> 01:09:08,640

1131
01:09:13,124 --> 01:09:14,476
There's no time.
1132
01:09:16,976 --> 01:09:19,164
We're ridiculous. Look at you.

01:09:23,822 --> 01:09:25,290

Come in.

Of course you are.
1140
01:11:23,030 --> 01:11:25,525
I remember when we won the election.
1141
01:11:25,599 --> 01:11:26,973
It was so overwhelming.
1142
01:11:27,047 --> 01:11:28,162

Oh, that's very kind of you.
1145
01:11:33,871 --> 01:11:36,403
I've come to discuss tomorrow.
1146
01:11:36,574 --> 01:11:38,424
The Attorney General
relayed to me your desire
1147
01:11:38,484 --> 01:11:39,984
for a more modest ceremony.
1148
01:11:40,019 --> 01:11:41,556
I've changed my mind.
1149
01:11:42,274 --> 01:11:43,275
I'm sorry?
1150
01:11:43,449 --> 01:11:45,296
I said I've changed my mind.
1151
01:11:45,376 --> 01:11:46,873
We will have a procession,
1152
01:11:46,964 --> 01:11:48,476
and I will walk to the Cathedral
1153
01:11:48,534 --> 01:11:49,900
with the casket.
1154
01:11:51,264 --> 01:11:54,701
Well, even if we could
resume the arrangements,
1155
01:11:54,755 --> 01:11:55,848
I'm sure you can understand
1156
01:11:55,883 --> 01:11:57,956
the Secret Service
still has their concerns.
1157
01:11:58,004 --> 01:11:59,635
And President Johnson?
1158
01:11:59,670 --> 01:12:00,865
President Johnson would like nothing more
1159
01:12:00,900 --> 01:12:02,101
than to fulfill your wishes,
1160
01:12:02,162 --> 01:12:04,463
but I have to take into account his safety.
1161
01:12:04,507 --> 01:12:06,079
The country couldn't endure another blow
1162
01:12:06,166 --> 01:12:07,232

1163
01:12:10,560 --> 01:12:11,792
It's not the same.

If it were up to him,
1165
01:12:13,268 --> 01:12:16,006
he'd do anything that
might bring you comfort.
1166
01:12:16,057 --> 01:12:18,812
Then who is it up to, Mr. Valenti?
1167
01:12:18,877 --> 01:12:19,819
Well, as I'm sure you know,
1168
01:12:19,876 --> 01:12:22,422
tomorrow we're expecting
close to 100 Heads of State.
1169
01:12:22,495 --> 01:12:24,097
One-hundred three.
1170
01:12:24,332 --> 01:12:25,454
Yes, I'm sure that's right.
1171
01:12:25,520 --> 01:12:28,906
And I suspect they'll make
all their own decisions.
1172
01:12:28,981 --> 01:12:30,342
Based on what?
1173
01:12:32,125 --> 01:12:34,257
There's a great deal of
classified intelligence
1174
01:12:34,335 --> 01:12:36,162
that I just can't get into.
1175
01:12:38,032 --> 01:12:40,345
We've intercepted a threat
against General de Gaulle
1176
01:12:40,380 --> 01:12:42,167
from our assets in Geneva.
1177
01:12:42,261 --> 01:12:45,463
I'm afraid if he refuses
to march, others may follow.
1178
01:12:47,742 --> 01:12:49,243
I understand.
1179
01:12:49,457 --> 01:12:50,582
As I said, Mrs. Kennedy,
1180
01:12:50,642 --> 01:12:51,668
I wish there were more we could do
1181
01:12:51,763 --> 01:12:53,331
to accommodate your wishes.
1182
01:12:53,480 --> 01:12:54,739
I'm terribly sorry.
1183
01:12:54,821 --> 01:12:56,056
Don't be.
1184
01:12:56,183 --> 01:12:58,721
You and the Johnsons
have already done so much.
1185
01:12:58,790 --> 01:12:59,543
Good day, Mrs. Kennedy.
1186
01:12:59,578 --> 01:13:01,286
Um, Mr. Valenti.
1187
01:13:01,321 --> 01:13:02,852
Would you mind getting a message
1188
01:13:02,913 --> 01:13:05,751
to all our funeral guests when they land?
1189
01:13:06,150 --> 01:13:07,250
Of course.
1190
01:13:07,285 --> 01:13:10,674
Inform them that I will
walk with Jack tomorrow.
1191
01:13:11,263 --> 01:13:13,299
Alone, if necessary.
1192
01:13:14,146 --> 01:13:16,281
And tell General de Gaulle
1193
01:13:16,377 --> 01:13:19,001
that if he wishes to ride in an armored car
1194
01:13:19,066 --> 01:13:21,172
or in a tank for that matter,
1195
01:13:21,239 --> 01:13:23,150
I won't blame him.
1196
01:13:23,370 --> 01:13:25,229
And I'm sure the tens of millions of people
1197
01:13:25,304 --> 01:13:27,257
watching won't either.
1198
01:13:27,840 --> 01:13:29,702
Why are you doing this, Mrs. Kennedy?
1199
01:13:29,763 --> 01:13:33,324
Oh, I'm just doing my job.
1200
01:13:41,678 --> 01:13:43,437
Would you like to write this down?
1201
01:13:44,654 --> 01:13:46,521
- Do you think I should?
- I...
1202
01:13:46,634 --> 01:13:47,817
I do.
1203
01:13:54,948 --> 01:13:58,651
We all live on far after our deaths.
1204
01:13:59,927 --> 01:14:02,207
Presidents will come and go,
1205
01:14:03,435 --> 01:14:05,429
and every one of them
1206
01:14:05,520 --> 01:14:08,788
will look up to Jack for guidance,
1207
01:14:08,854 --> 01:14:10,222
for inspiration.
1208
01:14:11,665 --> 01:14:16,072
What do you say to those
who say he didn't deserve it?
1209
01:14:16,746 --> 01:14:19,275
The scale of it. I mean,
he was a great president,
1210
01:14:19,310 --> 01:14:22,447
but he didn't win the
Civil War, for instance.
1211
01:14:23,110 --> 01:14:24,192
It was a funeral for
1212
01:14:24,227 --> 01:14:26,528
the President of the United States.
1213
01:14:26,772 --> 01:14:29,649
Your husband drove cars,
he didn't ride horses.
1214
01:14:29,684 --> 01:14:31,211
Yes, and there should
have been more of them.
1215
01:14:31,278 --> 01:14:32,580
There should be more horses,
1216
01:14:32,687 --> 01:14:36,357
more soldiers, more crying, more cameras!
1217
01:14:42,928 --> 01:14:46,576
I'm guessing you won't allow
me to write any of that.
1218
01:14:47,720 --> 01:14:48,831
No,
1219
01:14:49,717 --> 01:14:51,486
because I never said that.
1220
01:14:55,021 --> 01:14:59,259
Perhaps Jack didn't have
time to defeat Communism,
1221
01:15:00,637 --> 01:15:02,244
but I do seem to recall...
1222
01:15:02,279 --> 01:15:03,644
With all due respect,
1223
01:15:03,741 --> 01:15:06,444
you were at the center
of it all, Mrs. Kennedy,
1224
01:15:06,499 --> 01:15:09,016
and I'd imagine it's impossible
1225
01:15:09,056 --> 01:15:11,368
to have any perspective
from that vantage point.
1226
01:15:11,425 --> 01:15:15,428
But I can assure you
that it was a spectacle.
1227
01:16:27,099 --> 01:16:30,836
JACKIE: Nancy said they
wanted to share my grief,
1228
01:16:30,890 --> 01:16:32,658
so I let them.
1229
01:16:32,830 --> 01:16:37,902
But after, I realized
that all the pageantry,
1230
01:16:37,970 --> 01:16:40,796
all the demands I made to honor him,
1231
01:16:41,508 --> 01:16:44,577
it wasn't for Jack or his legacy.
1232
01:16:46,460 --> 01:16:48,261
It was for me.
1233
01:17:38,623 --> 01:17:40,091
(INAUDIBLE)
1234
01:17:47,846 --> 01:17:49,558
JACKIE: I wrote him a letter.
1235
01:17:50,411 --> 01:17:54,281
That night, before we moved
the casket to the Capitol.
1236
01:17:54,382 --> 01:17:56,233
Do you know what I wrote?
1237
01:17:56,295 --> 01:17:58,463
That I wanted to die.
1238
01:17:58,658 --> 01:18:00,480
- I understand.
- Do you?
1239
01:18:00,532 --> 01:18:02,334
I do.
1240
01:18:02,821 --> 01:18:06,425
Unless you are asking my permission.
1241
01:18:06,492 --> 01:18:07,740
No, only crass,
1242
01:18:07,800 --> 01:18:10,735
self-indulgent people kill themselves.
1243
01:18:10,829 --> 01:18:12,899
No, I was just hoping that if I walked
1244
01:18:12,934 --> 01:18:15,008
down the street next to Jack's body,
1245
01:18:15,068 --> 01:18:18,083
maybe someone would be
kind enough to do it for me.
1246
01:18:18,157 --> 01:18:20,362
In front of the whole world?
1247
01:18:20,573 --> 01:18:23,244
Famous life, famous death.
1248
01:18:24,083 --> 01:18:26,318
I never wanted fame.
1249
01:18:26,412 --> 01:18:28,447
I just became a Kennedy.
1250
01:19:02,401 --> 01:19:06,896
JACKIE: I told everyone
that I can't remember.
1251
01:19:07,353 --> 01:19:09,255
It's not true.
1252
01:19:09,334 --> 01:19:10,702
I can remember.
1253
01:19:10,869 --> 01:19:12,547
I can remember everything.
1254
01:19:17,770 --> 01:19:19,874

when I climb into bed,
1362
01:27:00,708 --> 01:27:05,747
turn off the lights,
and stare into the dark,
1363
01:27:07,228 --> 01:27:09,231

we read about on the page

end up being more real than
the men who stand beside us.

I should have guessed
