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

0:04:29 > 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?

0:05:43 > 0:05:47Is that from my brother's casket?
0:05:47 > 0:05:48Jackie brought it last week.

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
