0:00:02 > 0:00:04- Previously: - We're over there to beat the Commies.

0:00:04 > 0:00:08Your tremendous grasp of the obvious is contributing nothing.

0:00:08 > 0:00:11On the contrary, if you had a better grasp, we'd get some work done.

0:00:11 > 0:00:13It hasn't always been easy,

0:00:13 > 0:00:16and it's never been boring.

0:00:16 > 0:00:17CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

0:00:17 > 0:00:19GUNSHOT HE GROANS

0:00:21 > 0:00:23The president has been shot.

0:00:23 > 0:00:25When I get more details, I'll call you back.

0:00:25 > 0:00:28Does this mean that you're gonna be president now?

0:01:56 > 0:02:01CHOIR: # O holy spirit

0:02:01 > 0:02:05# Who didst brood

0:02:05 > 0:02:12# Upon the waters dark and rude

0:02:12 > 0:02:20# And bid their angry tumult cease

0:02:20 > 0:02:24# And give for wild confusion... #

0:02:24 > 0:02:27MAN: over 100 presidents, kings, and ministers

0:02:27 > 0:02:30from nearly every country in the world

0:02:30 > 0:02:32have come to Arlington cemetery

0:02:32 > 0:02:34to bury John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

0:02:34 > 0:02:37The details of these last three days of mourning,

0:02:37 > 0:02:39even to the bier upon which the president's casket

0:02:39 > 0:02:42was displayed in the Capitol, were modelled after the funeral

0:02:42 > 0:02:45of another fallen president, Abraham Lincoln,

0:02:45 > 0:02:47this at the instruction of the first lady.

0:02:53 > 0:02:55Having lit the eternal flame

0:02:55 > 0:02:58at the head of her husband's grave,

0:02:58 > 0:03:00Mrs Kennedy, still composed, still dignified,

0:03:00 > 0:03:03leaves the gravesite with the attorney general.

0:03:03 > 0:03:08Hovering over this sombre day, the question still lingers-

0:03:08 > 0:03:11why was president Kennedy killed?

0:03:11 > 0:03:13Did lee Harvey Oswald act alone,

0:03:13 > 0:03:15or was he part of a larger conspiracy?

0:03:15 > 0:03:18A reasonable man cannot honestly believe you, Mr Giancana,

0:03:18 > 0:03:20when you say that you- you can't recall that.

0:03:20 > 0:03:23Would you tell us about the murder of Leon Marcus?

0:03:23 > 0:03:27Uh, did-did you have any connection with that?

0:03:27 > 0:03:29I decline to answer because I honestly believe my answer

0:03:29 > 0:03:31might tend to incriminate me.

0:03:31 > 0:03:33Well, would you tell us anything, anything at all,

0:03:33 > 0:03:36about any of your operations,

0:03:36 > 0:03:39or will you just, er, giggle every time I ask you a question?

0:03:39 > 0:03:43CHUCKLES: I decline to answer because I honestly believe

0:03:43 > 0:03:45my answer might tend to incriminate me.

0:03:45 > 0:03:49I thought only little girls giggled, Mr Giancana.

0:03:49 > 0:03:52Others have speculated that foreign enemies of the United States

0:03:52 > 0:03:55could have been responsible for the assassination.

0:03:55 > 0:03:57Well, it's called Operation Mongoose.

0:03:57 > 0:03:59It won't be run out of the White House or CIA.

0:03:59 > 0:04:02"The overthrow and elimination of Fidel Castro."

0:04:02 > 0:04:05Jack, CIA's got people in pipelines everywhere. They'll figure this out.

0:04:05 > 0:04:09I don't care. I don't trust the bastards, not after the Bay of Pigs.

0:04:09 > 0:04:11You're gonna run point on this, Bobby, through Justice.

0:04:11 > 0:04:15Well, let's hope we get the bastard this time.

0:04:15 > 0:04:18Well, you may only get one shot, so if you get him in your sights,

0:04:18 > 0:04:20don't miss, or else we may end up in his sights.

0:04:22 > 0:04:26On Sunday, John F. Kennedy's fellow citizens paid their respects

0:04:26 > 0:04:29in the great rotunda of the Capitol,

0:04:29 > 0:04:32most of them unaware that another murder had taken place

0:04:32 > 0:04:35in Dallas, as nightclub owner Jack Ruby shot and killed

0:04:35 > 0:04:38Lee Harvey Oswald, the president's assassin,

0:04:38 > 0:04:41in the basement of police...

0:04:41 > 0:04:44I was watching that.

0:04:44 > 0:04:46It's enough. Come to bed.

0:04:46 > 0:04:47I'm not tired.

0:04:47 > 0:04:50Bobby, you're exhausted.

0:04:50 > 0:04:52I...do they expect us to believe

0:04:52 > 0:04:56that he just walked in there, and shot him like that?

0:04:56 > 0:05:00WHISPERS: Bobby...

0:05:00 > 0:05:02CRYING: Oh, god.

0:05:02 > 0:05:06Ethel, I've made so many enemies...

0:05:11 > 0:05:14..they killed my brother because of me.

0:05:14 > 0:05:20No. No. Look at me. What happened had nothing- nothing to do with you.

0:05:21 > 0:05:22Don't ever say that.

0:05:43 > 0:05:47Is that from my brother's casket?

0:05:47 > 0:05:48Jackie brought it last week.

0:06:00 > 0:06:04Bobby's here to see you. Hmm?

0:06:06 > 0:06:07Thank you.

0:06:13 > 0:06:14Hi, Dad.

0:06:29 > 0:06:31I heard, er...

0:06:31 > 0:06:35Jackie brought this by for you.

0:06:35 > 0:06:37That was nice.

0:06:37 > 0:06:43These, er, stars remind me of "Romeo and Juliet."

0:06:43 > 0:06:45You remember your Shakespeare, Dad?

0:06:47 > 0:06:49"When he shall die,

0:06:49 > 0:06:52"take him and cut him out in little stars,

0:06:52 > 0:06:56"and he shall make the face of heaven so fine

0:06:56 > 0:06:59"that all the world will be in love with night,

0:06:59 > 0:07:01and pay no worship to the garish sun."

0:07:10 > 0:07:13I made...

0:07:13 > 0:07:14So many mistakes.

0:07:17 > 0:07:21I always thought that I could do whatever I wanted.

0:07:21 > 0:07:24As long as we were on the side of the angels...

0:07:24 > 0:07:26That nothing else mattered.

0:07:28 > 0:07:29No-one could touch us.

0:07:33 > 0:07:35But I was wrong.

0:07:35 > 0:07:38I was arrogant.

0:07:48 > 0:07:51I'm so sorry, Dad.

0:07:53 > 0:07:56I'm so terribly sorry.

0:08:54 > 0:08:57I've spoken to Ethel,

0:08:57 > 0:09:00and she says that she's tried to get you

0:09:00 > 0:09:03to accept the solace of the church, but you won't.

0:09:03 > 0:09:05No, I want to accept it, mother.

0:09:07 > 0:09:10It's-it's just not...

0:09:10 > 0:09:11There anymore.

0:09:19 > 0:09:24With all I've seen, how could I bear it if it wasn't for my faith?

0:09:26 > 0:09:29His means may be mysterious, but his ends aren't.

0:09:32 > 0:09:34Pray the rosary with me.

0:10:00 > 0:10:03born of the virgin Mary...

0:10:12 > 0:10:15Mrs Kennedy shouldn't be too long, sir.

0:10:15 > 0:10:18Thank you.

0:10:18 > 0:10:23General, I... The president meant a lot to me, sir,

0:10:23 > 0:10:26and I will miss him for the rest of my life.

0:10:26 > 0:10:30He cared for you a great deal, Abraham.

0:10:32 > 0:10:36Excuse me, sir.

0:10:36 > 0:10:38I'm glad you're here.

0:10:44 > 0:10:48They're packing things up already.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50TAPS OBJECT

0:10:50 > 0:10:54I don't know where... We're going to go.

0:10:54 > 0:10:57I don't want you to worry about any of that.

0:10:57 > 0:10:58I'll find you a home.

0:10:58 > 0:11:01You have enough to worry about.

0:11:01 > 0:11:06Jackie, I'll never be too busy for you.

0:11:06 > 0:11:09It's the least I can do.

0:11:09 > 0:11:11Make up for Jack not being here.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15You don't have to make up for it.

0:11:16 > 0:11:19I've been going through, er, everything in my head...

0:11:22 > 0:11:25How things might have turned out differently.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27That's all I've been able to think about.

0:11:27 > 0:11:29If I had just leaned in...

0:11:31 > 0:11:33An inch closer...

0:11:36 > 0:11:38If I'd turned to him a second sooner...

0:11:39 > 0:11:41Why did we have to have the top down?

0:11:48 > 0:11:51You dedicated your life to him, Bobby.

0:11:52 > 0:11:56Uh, you- you don't have to make it up to anybody,

0:11:56 > 0:11:57least of all me.

0:11:57 > 0:11:59Jackie, you're my family.

0:15:17 > 0:15:19Did you see President Johnson?

0:15:19 > 0:15:21Is it true that the president wanted you to leave?

0:15:21 > 0:15:22Everybody, back up.

0:15:22 > 0:15:24Can we get a shot of you and the children?

0:15:24 > 0:15:26Get off of there!

0:15:26 > 0:15:27Just one shot, please!

0:15:27 > 0:15:29Let her through. Officer, get these people out of here.

0:15:29 > 0:15:31I want you people out of here.

0:15:31 > 0:15:32This is private property.

0:15:32 > 0:15:37Go home. Go home! Mrs Kennedy, how does it feel to leave the white house?

0:15:37 > 0:15:39She's a private citizen now! Mrs Kennedy!

0:15:58 > 0:15:59Bobby. Don't.

0:16:07 > 0:16:10I'm sorry. Mr Kennedy didn't mean that.

0:16:10 > 0:16:12I'll be outside, Ma'am.

0:16:15 > 0:16:19It's OK, my darlings.

0:17:38 > 0:17:41Bobby...

0:17:41 > 0:17:42There were people here.

0:17:42 > 0:17:44What. Where?

0:17:44 > 0:17:46On the property. Photographers.

0:17:46 > 0:17:48Jackie, let's have a look.

0:17:49 > 0:17:53Jackie, are you OK. Were they inside the house with you?

0:17:53 > 0:17:56No. No, the secret service chased them away.

0:17:56 > 0:17:57I'll be right there.

0:17:57 > 0:18:00'No, it's OK. It just spooked me a little. I'm not used to this.'

0:18:00 > 0:18:03No, no, no. No, it's no-no problem.

0:18:03 > 0:18:04OK, I'll be there in ten minutes.

0:18:04 > 0:18:06OK.

0:18:06 > 0:18:08OK.

0:18:11 > 0:18:14Photographers outside her house. Bastards.

0:18:14 > 0:18:15She all right?

0:18:15 > 0:18:17Yeah, I think she's fine.

0:18:18 > 0:18:20Then why are you going?

0:18:20 > 0:18:22She's all alone, Ethel.

0:18:22 > 0:18:24Bobby, she has the secret service.

0:18:24 > 0:18:27I know. It's not the same. She needs family right now.

0:18:29 > 0:18:31Tell her you'll see her in the morning.

0:18:31 > 0:18:32She needs me now.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34So do I.

0:18:36 > 0:18:37Please don't.

0:18:39 > 0:18:41Please don't do that.

0:18:43 > 0:18:45See her in the morning.

0:19:02 > 0:19:04I'm sorry it's so late.

0:19:04 > 0:19:06I don't mind.

0:19:08 > 0:19:11Thank you for coming over.

0:19:13 > 0:19:17How are the children doing?

0:19:19 > 0:19:23They're much more resilient than we are.

0:19:23 > 0:19:26Caroline loves her new school.

0:19:29 > 0:19:31I have a parents' night next week.

0:19:34 > 0:19:37That'll be awkward.

0:19:39 > 0:19:41Jackie, I can go with you, if you...

0:19:41 > 0:19:43Need someone there.

0:19:43 > 0:19:45It's no trouble.

0:19:48 > 0:19:50Bobby, I'm so grateful...

0:19:51 > 0:19:54For everything.

0:19:55 > 0:19:57It's fine.

0:19:57 > 0:19:59No.

0:19:59 > 0:20:02You have a family.

0:20:04 > 0:20:06You're my family.

0:20:12 > 0:20:14It's gonna be OK.

0:20:14 > 0:20:16SHE SNIFFLES

0:21:28 > 0:21:30How's Jackie?

0:21:31 > 0:21:33She's fine.

0:21:35 > 0:21:36How are you?

0:21:39 > 0:21:40Great.

0:21:44 > 0:21:46Ethel, I know you've been hurting.

0:21:48 > 0:21:50Ever since Jack died, I've been...

0:21:53 > 0:21:55Feeling the same in my own heart.

0:21:56 > 0:21:58I've been hiding from you and the children.

0:22:03 > 0:22:05But I want you to know that I'm here for you.

0:22:08 > 0:22:10I'm here for you now.

0:22:27 > 0:22:29You haven't been hiding.

0:22:29 > 0:22:32You've been mourning,

0:22:32 > 0:22:35and there's a difference.

0:22:35 > 0:22:37Well...

0:22:37 > 0:22:40Whatever it is, it's over now.

0:22:44 > 0:22:46I'm thinking about Jack.

0:22:50 > 0:22:52If he saw me right now, he'd say,

0:22:52 > 0:22:56"Bobby, get off your ass and do something."

0:22:56 > 0:22:59I don't think I have a choice, really.

0:23:02 > 0:23:04I have to carry on for him.

0:23:07 > 0:23:08I think I owe it to him to...

0:23:10 > 0:23:12Make an effort to ensure

0:23:12 > 0:23:15what he envisioned for this country really happens.

0:23:18 > 0:23:20SETS PICTURE DOWN

0:23:22 > 0:23:25'And it is now obvious that this is going to be

0:23:25 > 0:23:27'a huge election victory for president Johnson'

0:23:27 > 0:23:30over senator Goldwater -

0:23:30 > 0:23:33perhaps the largest landslide in American history.

0:23:33 > 0:23:35In the senate race in new York, which attracted

0:23:35 > 0:23:37almost as much attention as the national race,

0:23:37 > 0:23:40Robert Kennedy, the former attorney general

0:23:40 > 0:23:41and brother of the late president,

0:23:41 > 0:23:44won over the incumbent, senator Kenneth Keating.

0:23:44 > 0:23:45Thank you. Thank you.

0:23:47 > 0:23:49Senator from New York!

0:23:49 > 0:23:54Little runt couldn't even vote for himself cos he's registered in Massachusetts.

0:23:54 > 0:23:57Contrary to what, er, was said during the campaign,

0:23:57 > 0:23:59I do know where the Hudson River is.

0:23:59 > 0:24:00LAUGHTER

0:24:00 > 0:24:03You and lady bird should be celebrating, Mr President.

0:24:03 > 0:24:05Don't let this bother you.

0:24:05 > 0:24:07He rode in on my coattails.

0:24:07 > 0:24:11When it looked like he might lose, I campaigned for him.

0:24:11 > 0:24:13I shall devote all of my efforts

0:24:13 > 0:24:15and whatever talents I possess to the state of New York.

0:24:15 > 0:24:17CHEERING

0:24:17 > 0:24:21Bastard's gonna use the senate to come gunnin' for me in '68.

0:24:21 > 0:24:23I am announcing today

0:24:23 > 0:24:26my candidacy for the presidency of the United States.

0:24:26 > 0:24:30'I run because it is now unmistakably clear'

0:24:30 > 0:24:32that we can change these disastrous,

0:24:32 > 0:24:35divisive policies only by changing the men who are now making them.

0:24:35 > 0:24:41I do not lightly dismiss the difficulties and the dangers of challenging an incumbent president,

0:24:41 > 0:24:45but these are not ordinary times, and this is not an ordinary election.

0:24:45 > 0:24:47Finally, my decision reflects

0:24:47 > 0:24:49no personal animosity or disrespect

0:24:49 > 0:24:51towards president Johnson.

0:24:53 > 0:24:56I shall not seek

0:24:56 > 0:24:59and I will not accept

0:24:59 > 0:25:01the nomination of my party

0:25:01 > 0:25:03for another term as your president.

0:25:03 > 0:25:05It's unbelievable.

0:25:05 > 0:25:08'But let men everywhere, however...'

0:25:08 > 0:25:11It's gonna be ours, Bobby.

0:25:11 > 0:25:13There's nothing in our way now.

0:25:17 > 0:25:20'It's now clear that senator Eugene McCarthy

0:25:20 > 0:25:22'will defeat senator Kennedy in the Oregon primary.

0:25:22 > 0:25:26'Despite spending roughly 1 million a week, Kennedy was unable to appeal

0:25:26 > 0:25:29'to the state's largely white, largely protestant,

0:25:29 > 0:25:31'and largely middle-class voters.

0:25:31 > 0:25:33'This is the first electoral defeat

0:25:33 > 0:25:35'ever suffered by a member of the Kennedy family,

0:25:35 > 0:25:37'and it makes the upcoming California primary...'

0:25:37 > 0:25:39Could you, er, turn that off, please?

0:25:39 > 0:25:42'...For the senator from new York.'

0:25:45 > 0:25:47Well, I think it's clear

0:25:47 > 0:25:50that we, er, lost here, all by ourselves.

0:25:50 > 0:25:54It had nothing to do with the, er, protestants.

0:25:54 > 0:25:55This was our responsibility.

0:25:55 > 0:25:58This was our effort, and we dropped the ball.

0:25:58 > 0:26:00We had lousy polling information,

0:26:00 > 0:26:03we didn't motivate the precinct captains to get out the vote,

0:26:03 > 0:26:06and we can do better. We can do more.

0:26:06 > 0:26:09So I want, er, each of you on planes tonight to California,

0:26:09 > 0:26:12and make, er, damn sure that we rally here,

0:26:12 > 0:26:14that we show some balls,

0:26:14 > 0:26:17that we go in there and we win this thing.

0:26:17 > 0:26:20Because if I have anything to do with it,

0:26:20 > 0:26:22this is the last election a Kennedy's gonna lose.

0:26:22 > 0:26:26All right, now go. Go. Each of you, go.

0:26:35 > 0:26:38we'll get it right in California.

0:26:40 > 0:26:41I know.

0:26:42 > 0:26:45I'm going back to our room. Are you coming?

0:26:45 > 0:26:47No. You go.

0:26:47 > 0:26:50I'm gonna...stay here and get some work done.

0:26:50 > 0:26:53Night.

0:26:53 > 0:26:56You know, this wouldn't have, er, happened to Jack.

0:26:56 > 0:26:58Bobby...

0:26:58 > 0:27:00Jack had you.

0:27:02 > 0:27:04Thanks.

0:27:07 > 0:27:10Henry Cabot Lodge is beating us by two touchdowns.

0:27:10 > 0:27:13What the hell are you doing, Bobby? You're the campaign manager.

0:27:13 > 0:27:17I know, Dad, and I'd appreciate if you would actually let me manage it.

0:27:17 > 0:27:18Oh, so it's my fault we're behind?

0:27:18 > 0:27:21No, but we're running a state-wide race here,

0:27:21 > 0:27:23and you brought in your old cronies from Charleston.

0:27:23 > 0:27:25How am I supposed to work with that?

0:27:25 > 0:27:28Half of them think that Wilson is still president.

0:27:28 > 0:27:30You've got them going around the neighbourhoods,

0:27:30 > 0:27:33handing out 20 bucks for coal. It worked when Jack ran for congress.

0:27:33 > 0:27:35I know, but that was right after the war.

0:27:35 > 0:27:39The world's a different place now, Dad. Money still talks, Bobby.

0:27:39 > 0:27:42If the day ever comes when I don't get my money's worth...

0:27:42 > 0:27:45Well, the day is here, and we need to recognise it, Dad.

0:27:45 > 0:27:49TELEPHONE RINGS That's precisely the reason why we're losing.

0:27:49 > 0:27:53RING

0:27:53 > 0:27:54Well, what do you suggest?

0:27:54 > 0:27:57RING

0:27:57 > 0:28:01Well, I think we've got a lot of dead weight around here and I wanna get rid of it.

0:28:01 > 0:28:03If you don't wanna tell 'em, I will. I'll do it.

0:28:03 > 0:28:05And we got, er, Jack crisscrossing the state.

0:28:05 > 0:28:10He's in Springfield in the morning, Plymouth in the afternoon, back up to Northampton at night.

0:28:10 > 0:28:11We're killing him.

0:28:11 > 0:28:13We need to conserve his energy,

0:28:13 > 0:28:15make the schedule more efficient.

0:28:15 > 0:28:19It still doesn't get us more votes. I know. Let me finish.

0:28:19 > 0:28:21We have the best resource in the world,

0:28:21 > 0:28:23and we're not even using it.

0:28:23 > 0:28:26What's that? Us, family.

0:28:26 > 0:28:28We should get mother out there,

0:28:28 > 0:28:32get her telling stories about when Jack was little.

0:28:32 > 0:28:33People love her, Dad.

0:28:33 > 0:28:38They love that. They wanna know that we're a real family.

0:28:38 > 0:28:40CHUCKLES

0:28:40 > 0:28:44Your mother's a natural campaigner. We'll have tea parties.

0:28:45 > 0:28:48"Tea with Rose Kennedy."

0:28:48 > 0:28:50TELEPHONE DIAL CLICKING

0:28:51 > 0:28:53That's a good idea, Dad.

0:28:59 > 0:29:01CHEERING

0:29:05 > 0:29:08when Lodge called to concede, he said, "I coulda beaten you.

0:29:08 > 0:29:10"I coulda beaten you and the old man"...

0:29:10 > 0:29:13"but that damn mother of yours...

0:29:13 > 0:29:16"And those Kennedy tea parties..."

0:29:16 > 0:29:18LAUGHTER

0:29:18 > 0:29:22Thank you. Thank you.

0:29:22 > 0:29:24You made the difference.

0:29:24 > 0:29:27Hey, boys. Boys, come on. Come on over here.

0:29:27 > 0:29:29You, er, take a photograph of this.

0:29:29 > 0:29:32One day it may be worth something.

0:29:38 > 0:29:43Mother, it's Bobby. No, I'm fine, but I need you again.

0:29:43 > 0:29:45Pack your bags?

0:29:45 > 0:29:52Of course, I could tell you about all the times that he was naughty

0:29:52 > 0:29:55and I had to spank him with a ruler.

0:29:55 > 0:29:57LAUGHING

0:29:57 > 0:29:59Well, it must have worked,

0:29:59 > 0:30:02because Ethel tells me he's not naughty anymore.

0:30:02 > 0:30:04LAUGHTER

0:30:04 > 0:30:11It-it-it-it's very important that you vote for him for president.

0:30:11 > 0:30:16He has ten children, you know, and Ethel is pregnant again,

0:30:16 > 0:30:20and the White House is the only place large enough.

0:30:20 > 0:30:22LAUGHING

0:30:22 > 0:30:28So it gives me great pleasure to introduce my seventh child-

0:30:28 > 0:30:30Robert Francis Kennedy.

0:30:39 > 0:30:43I'd like to thank my mother for the kind introduction.

0:30:43 > 0:30:46that's what it's gotten down to in this, er, campaign,

0:30:46 > 0:30:50when, er, some of the polls came out that we weren't doing so well.

0:30:50 > 0:30:52We-we-we took Mother.

0:30:54 > 0:30:58Make sure you tell 'em about my ideas for improving public schools.

0:30:58 > 0:31:00I'm gonna tell 'em.

0:31:00 > 0:31:05Because-because it's very important to capture children's imaginations.

0:31:05 > 0:31:06Yes, I know. I know, Mother.

0:31:06 > 0:31:09I'm gonna tell 'em. Why don't you give your own speech?

0:31:09 > 0:31:12I-that's just it- my brother and I- that's the reason she never introduced us before is,

0:31:12 > 0:31:15we wouldn't go on the same platform with her.

0:31:15 > 0:31:17You couldn't possibly compete with that.

0:31:17 > 0:31:22No, no, I'm fine. I'm just, er...

0:31:22 > 0:31:25A little lonely, I suppose.

0:31:25 > 0:31:29All the, er, hotel rooms start to look the same after a while.

0:31:29 > 0:31:31How are the kids? I miss them.

0:31:31 > 0:31:35They're fine. They miss you, too.

0:31:35 > 0:31:38The campaign looks like it's going great.

0:31:38 > 0:31:41Yeah, the, er, polling here in California is great.

0:31:41 > 0:31:44Um, the crowds have been unbelievable, really.

0:31:44 > 0:31:47I'm so glad for you.

0:31:47 > 0:31:51Mm-hmm. Is everything OK with you?

0:31:51 > 0:31:54I wanted to talk to you about something.

0:31:54 > 0:31:56Sure. Anything. What is it?

0:31:56 > 0:32:00You know Onassis and I have been seeing each other

0:32:00 > 0:32:02for quite some time.

0:32:02 > 0:32:06Yes, I know. I know you have.

0:32:06 > 0:32:11And he's asked me to marry him.

0:32:17 > 0:32:22That d-doesn't come as a great surprise to me.

0:32:22 > 0:32:25I know you don't...

0:32:25 > 0:32:27Approve of him.

0:32:27 > 0:32:31No, I don't...Jackie. I think he's a collector.

0:32:34 > 0:32:36He collects things, and that's what you are to him.

0:32:36 > 0:32:40You-you are the most desirable, beautiful thing in the world

0:32:40 > 0:32:42to, er, to him.

0:32:44 > 0:32:48I just don't believe that in your heart you could possibly love him.

0:32:48 > 0:32:52I was in love with Jack.

0:32:52 > 0:32:55I'll never feel that way again.

0:32:58 > 0:33:01Then why are you doing this?

0:33:01 > 0:33:05I have to keep my children safe.

0:33:05 > 0:33:10He can protect them.

0:33:10 > 0:33:12His island is...

0:33:12 > 0:33:16A private world where no-one can get to them.

0:33:18 > 0:33:21I mean, they've been hounded by photographers

0:33:21 > 0:33:25and people all their lives.

0:33:25 > 0:33:30Don't they deserve... A chance to just be children?

0:33:30 > 0:33:35Of course they do. I just want you to be happy.

0:33:35 > 0:33:38Jackie, you deserve to be happy.

0:33:42 > 0:33:44Thank you, Bobby.

0:33:45 > 0:33:49Could you, er, delay the announcement

0:33:49 > 0:33:51until after the election?

0:33:51 > 0:33:53You could cost me five states, you know.

0:33:53 > 0:33:57Of course.

0:33:57 > 0:33:59I wasn't going to say anything,

0:33:59 > 0:34:01and I already spoke to Ari about it.

0:34:01 > 0:34:06He's not going to say anything until after you're president.

0:34:08 > 0:34:11I admire your optimism.

0:34:16 > 0:34:19I love you, Jackie.

0:34:21 > 0:34:25I love you, Bobby.

0:34:25 > 0:34:27'I gotta go.'

0:34:29 > 0:34:31Well, um, I'll talk to you soon.

0:34:31 > 0:34:33Bye-bye.

0:34:45 > 0:34:46CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

0:34:46 > 0:34:50What I think is quite clear is that we can work together in the last analysis,

0:34:50 > 0:34:54and that what's been going on within the United States over the period of the last three years -

0:34:54 > 0:34:56the divisions, the violence,

0:34:56 > 0:34:58the disenchantment with our society,

0:34:58 > 0:35:01the divisions, whether it's between blacks and whites,

0:35:01 > 0:35:03between the poor and the more affluent,

0:35:03 > 0:35:06or between age groups or the war in Vietnam - is that we can start to work together.

0:35:06 > 0:35:10We're a great country and a selfless country

0:35:10 > 0:35:11and a compassionate country,

0:35:11 > 0:35:15and I intend to make that my basis for running over the period of the next few months.

0:35:15 > 0:35:17CHEERING

0:35:18 > 0:35:22So it's my-my thanks to all of you,

0:35:22 > 0:35:25and now it's on to Chicago, and let's win there.

0:35:25 > 0:35:28CHEERING

0:35:57 > 0:36:02Thank you. How are you? Thank you very much.
