1
00:00:52,928 --> 00:00:56,547
Lieutenant Joe Kennedy, Jr.,
the eldest son of former ambassador...

2
00:00:57,140 --> 00:00:59,883
...died instantly,
after the plane he was piloting exploded

3
00:00:59,977 --> 00:01:01,388
during a mission over the North Sea.

4
00:01:01,478 --> 00:01:03,640
President Kennedy was shot

5
00:01:03,730 --> 00:01:06,848
as he drove from Dallas airport
to downtown Dallas.

6
00:01:07,317 --> 00:01:10,560
...an ambulance, and the car rushed to...

7
00:01:10,654 --> 00:01:12,520
Bobby Kennedy was shot

8
00:01:12,614 --> 00:01:15,527
at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles.

9
00:01:21,623 --> 00:01:22,864
Senator Edward Kennedy,

10
00:01:22,958 --> 00:01:25,371
the only one of the four brothers
left alive...

11
00:01:25,460 --> 00:01:26,996
Teddy Kennedy would most certainly

12
00:01:27,087 --> 00:01:29,921
be the candidate to beat
in the next presidential election.

13
00:01:30,007 --> 00:01:31,293
But will he run?

14
00:01:31,383 --> 00:01:33,500
That's the question. Will Ted Kennedy run?

15
00:01:39,766 --> 00:01:41,098
Senator, can I get you anything?

16
00:01:41,643 --> 00:01:42,804
No, thank you.

17
00:01:43,312 --> 00:01:46,430
- Roll sound.
- Okay, roll camera.

18
00:01:49,901 --> 00:01:51,358
- Are you all set, Senator?
- Yes, Bob.

19
00:01:51,445 --> 00:01:52,686
Great.

20
00:01:57,159 --> 00:01:59,776
"We choose to go
to the moon, not because it is easy,

21
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:01,486
but because it is hard."

22
00:02:02,831 --> 00:02:05,448
What does your brother's
promise to America mean to you?

23
00:02:07,127 --> 00:02:10,086
Well, he was always someone
who kept his promises.

24
00:02:10,672 --> 00:02:14,131
My brother committed his life
to the idea that

25
00:02:14,217 --> 00:02:17,255
the United States is
a beacon of democracy.

26
00:02:18,847 --> 00:02:22,306
And so too for my family,
I think he was a beacon.

27
00:02:23,060 --> 00:02:24,722
Someone we all hoped to look up to.

28
00:02:25,979 --> 00:02:27,265
I know I sure did.

29
00:02:28,357 --> 00:02:31,065
He said this mission
would have, quote,

30
00:02:31,151 --> 00:02:34,315
"a great impact on the minds
of the men across America."

31
00:02:34,404 --> 00:02:37,397
I think my brother set
a course for the entire nation

32
00:02:37,491 --> 00:02:39,073
in a way that we can never abandon.

33
00:02:39,951 --> 00:02:41,738
You see it in the space program, sure.

34
00:02:42,788 --> 00:02:45,246
But even in my own life,
I often ask myself,

35
00:02:46,416 --> 00:02:48,749
"What would Jack have me do?"

36
00:02:49,961 --> 00:02:52,874
President Kennedy bast
a long shadow and still does.

37
00:02:52,964 --> 00:02:55,707
It's one I walk in every day.

38
00:02:57,094 --> 00:02:59,381
What's it like walking in that shadow?

39
00:03:14,695 --> 00:03:15,526
Senator?

40
00:03:17,656 --> 00:03:20,490
I think you have what you need, Bob.
Thank you very much.

41
00:03:20,575 --> 00:03:22,237
- Thanks for your time.
- All right, cut.

42
00:03:22,661 --> 00:03:23,822
- Bob.
- Senator.

43
00:03:23,912 --> 00:03:24,868
Pleasure.

44
00:03:25,497 --> 00:03:26,487
Do we have Joe yet?

45
00:03:26,581 --> 00:03:29,039
I was a little more focused
on salvaging our relationship

46
00:03:29,126 --> 00:03:29,991
with the majority leader.

47
00:03:30,419 --> 00:03:31,910
You're worried about the wrong thing.

48
00:03:32,421 --> 00:03:34,162
Come on. Mansfield's smart enough to know

49
00:03:34,256 --> 00:03:36,088
Ted's gonna be his boss in three years.

50
00:03:36,174 --> 00:03:37,164
Well, do we have him?

51
00:03:37,259 --> 00:03:39,342
Yes. Mr. Gargan is on hold for you now.

52
00:03:39,428 --> 00:03:40,259
You're connected.

53
00:03:40,345 --> 00:03:42,553
What's going on, Teddy?
I've been on hold here for 10 minutes.

54
00:03:42,639 --> 00:03:44,005
Well, I really needed
to talk to you.

55
00:03:44,099 --> 00:03:46,682
Well, it must be something
really damn important.

56
00:03:46,768 --> 00:03:48,680
The hotel in the Vineyard is overbooked.

57
00:03:48,770 --> 00:03:50,261
What are you talking about?
I just checked us in.

58
00:03:50,355 --> 00:03:52,062
- I got the key in my pocket right now.
- No.

59
00:03:52,149 --> 00:03:54,607
No. Not our room, the girls' room.

60
00:03:54,693 --> 00:03:56,059
- They just balled.
- Oh, come on.

61
00:03:56,153 --> 00:03:57,360
They ran Bobby's campaign, Teddy.

62
00:03:57,446 --> 00:03:58,903
I'm sure they can sort it out
for themselves.

63
00:03:58,989 --> 00:04:01,322
Joey, they don't know the island.
I need this handled properly.

64
00:04:01,408 --> 00:04:04,196
Well, what do you want me to do?
Slap an injunction on the desk clerk

65
00:04:04,286 --> 00:04:05,993
- until he boughs up a room?
- I don't need my lawyer.

66
00:04:06,079 --> 00:04:07,991
I need my cousin. I need my advance man.

67
00:04:08,081 --> 00:04:10,789
I gotta rig the boat, Teddy.
The regatta's this afternoon.

68
00:04:10,876 --> 00:04:12,742
I know when the race is.
I'm sailing the damn boat with you.

69
00:04:12,836 --> 00:04:15,499
And I'm still getting the cottage
organized for the party.

70
00:04:15,589 --> 00:04:17,876
Joey, there is no party
without the Boiler Room Girls.

71
00:04:18,467 --> 00:04:20,208
All right, I'll see what I ban do,
but I can't just jump in...

72
00:04:20,302 --> 00:04:23,090
Listen, listen, listen.
Ol' Joey will fix it, right?

73
00:04:24,598 --> 00:04:26,715
You know, when your dad said that,
it was a compliment.

74
00:04:26,808 --> 00:04:29,516
When my dad said that,
he said I could always count on you.

75
00:04:30,270 --> 00:04:31,886
Now, can I count on you?

76
00:04:33,815 --> 00:04:35,932
Yeah. Sure.

77
00:04:36,026 --> 00:04:38,109
- Ol' Joey will fix it.
- That's great.

78
00:04:38,195 --> 00:04:39,982
All right, I'll see you soon.

79
00:04:40,071 --> 00:04:43,690
Three, two, one, zero.

80
00:04:43,784 --> 00:04:47,949
All engines running.
Liftoff. We have a liftoff.

81
00:04:48,038 --> 00:04:51,952
Thirty-two minutes past the hour.
Liftoff on Apollo 11.

82
00:04:55,045 --> 00:04:56,752
Apollo 11 is on the way.

83
00:04:56,838 --> 00:05:01,128
Riding that pillar of flame,
into the skies out there,

84
00:05:01,218 --> 00:05:03,631
250,000 miles away,

85
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,839
where the moon is waiting
for man's first arrival.

86
00:05:08,475 --> 00:05:10,717
Flight to take three days,

87
00:05:10,811 --> 00:05:15,681
and the spacecraft
to reach there on Saturday.

88
00:05:15,774 --> 00:05:17,857
The landing to take place on Sunday,

89
00:05:17,943 --> 00:05:20,856
and Neil Armstrong to set foot on the moon

90
00:05:20,946 --> 00:05:24,530
at 2:21 a.m. on Monday morning.

91
00:05:24,616 --> 00:05:28,326
The first critical phase
of this flight is over, the launch.

92
00:05:28,411 --> 00:05:29,527
They're now in Earth orbit.

93
00:05:29,621 --> 00:05:34,241
They are now over the Atlantic
approaching the coast of Africa.

94
00:05:34,334 --> 00:05:37,668
In touch shortly with
the Canary tracking station,

95
00:05:37,754 --> 00:05:39,461
we may hear some more from them,

96
00:05:39,548 --> 00:05:42,086
and then out over Africa,
the Indian Ocean,

97
00:05:42,175 --> 00:05:45,509
past Australia, back around
for the first trip...

98
00:06:46,990 --> 00:06:48,026
Did he ask?

99
00:06:49,409 --> 00:06:50,900
Did he hint in any way?

100
00:06:53,121 --> 00:06:55,329
Even if he did, do you really
think I would tell you?

101
00:06:55,415 --> 00:06:57,623
I've kept bigger secrets.

102
00:07:00,879 --> 00:07:03,462
Hmm. I'll take that as a yes.

103
00:07:05,050 --> 00:07:08,134
You're brilliant, Mary Jo,
and you're available.

104
00:07:09,721 --> 00:07:11,132
There is no reason
why he wouldn't want you.

105
00:07:13,058 --> 00:07:14,640
Considering my options.

106
00:07:14,726 --> 00:07:17,264
- That's a surprise.
- Why?

107
00:07:17,354 --> 00:07:19,641
Last time we talked,
you said you'd never go back.

108
00:07:20,649 --> 00:07:23,141
- To Washington?
- To politics.

109
00:07:26,196 --> 00:07:27,528
With Bobby it was different.

110
00:07:29,074 --> 00:07:31,782
It didn't feel like politics.
It felt like public service.

111
00:07:33,411 --> 00:07:35,403
And after he was gone, I...

112
00:07:40,085 --> 00:07:44,375
Anyway, yes, Ted asked,
and I'm thinking about it.

113
00:07:45,090 --> 00:07:47,332
Well, you're thinking too hard.

114
00:07:47,801 --> 00:07:49,133
How is he doing?

115
00:07:49,594 --> 00:07:52,803
He just became the youngest
majority whip in U.S. history.

116
00:07:53,556 --> 00:07:55,468
Pretty good, I'd say.

117
00:07:55,558 --> 00:07:58,642
Trading state secrets is
an act of treason, you know.

118
00:08:00,355 --> 00:08:01,891
Hello, Senator.

119
00:08:02,649 --> 00:08:04,050
Good to see you, Rachel.

120
00:08:05,568 --> 00:08:07,935
- Mary Jo.
- Senator.

121
00:08:11,032 --> 00:08:12,739
How are the kids, Senator?

122
00:08:12,826 --> 00:08:14,408
Fine. Yeah, just fine.

123
00:08:14,494 --> 00:08:15,985
And your wife?

124
00:08:16,079 --> 00:08:18,822
She's at home on bed rest, I'm afraid.

125
00:08:18,915 --> 00:08:19,996
Yeah, it was doctor's orders.

126
00:08:21,376 --> 00:08:23,163
Well, I think I'm gonna go for a swim.

127
00:08:23,628 --> 00:08:25,836
- Are you coming?
- Maybe later.

128
00:08:27,924 --> 00:08:30,166
Good luck in the race
this afternoon, Senator.

129
00:08:30,260 --> 00:08:31,296
Thank you.

130
00:08:37,976 --> 00:08:38,966
Thanks for coming.

131
00:08:40,687 --> 00:08:42,974
It's a reunion. Why wouldn't I?

132
00:08:46,401 --> 00:08:49,769
Did you consider my offer?

133
00:08:52,741 --> 00:08:54,073
It'll never be the same.

134
00:08:54,743 --> 00:08:57,577
You can't hide in Jersey City forever.

135
00:08:59,330 --> 00:09:02,539
Come back to Washington, work on my staff.

136
00:09:04,502 --> 00:09:07,415
- Too many memories there.
- Build new ones.

137
00:09:11,634 --> 00:09:14,217
I don't think I could handle
another presidential campaign.

138
00:09:17,474 --> 00:09:18,305
I...

139
00:09:21,269 --> 00:09:24,888
I don't... know if you'll have to.

140
00:09:37,035 --> 00:09:39,527
- At my mark...
- Drop the chute, Teddy!

141
00:09:39,621 --> 00:09:40,907
Senator, they have right of way.

142
00:09:40,997 --> 00:09:41,987
Trim it! Trim it!

143
00:09:42,082 --> 00:09:44,415
- We're gonna clear them!
- I'm coming up!

144
00:09:45,085 --> 00:09:47,077
Joey, call it out!

145
00:09:47,462 --> 00:09:49,545
Ten boat lengths, Teddy.
We gotta drop the spinnaker.

146
00:09:49,631 --> 00:09:50,872
Not yet!

147
00:09:51,466 --> 00:09:53,332
Teddy, come on! We gotta duck these guys.

148
00:09:53,426 --> 00:09:55,964
Joey, this boat's been in
my family longer than I have.

149
00:09:56,054 --> 00:09:57,761
If anyone knows how she handles, it's me.

150
00:09:57,847 --> 00:09:59,679
We gotta fall off
and let them overtake us.

151
00:09:59,766 --> 00:10:00,973
Are you kidding me, Teddy?

152
00:10:01,059 --> 00:10:02,971
- Drop the spinnaker!
- Not yet!

153
00:10:10,485 --> 00:10:11,771
God damn it!

154
00:10:14,739 --> 00:10:16,696
Good one, Ted!

155
00:10:45,436 --> 00:10:47,769
Hey! Hey! Here he is.

156
00:10:47,856 --> 00:10:49,518
It's the senator.

157
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,017
Hey, everybody, come in here.
Get in here. Come on.

158
00:10:53,111 --> 00:10:56,775
Everybody, raise your glasses
to the senator.

159
00:10:56,865 --> 00:10:59,653
Ninth in the race,
but still first in our hearts.

160
00:10:59,742 --> 00:11:00,858
Hear, hear. Cheers.

161
00:11:00,952 --> 00:11:01,942
While we're raising glasses,

162
00:11:02,036 --> 00:11:04,824
we should raise a few more
for the Boiler Room Girls.

163
00:11:04,914 --> 00:11:07,031
- Quite right. Hear, hear.
- Absolutely.

164
00:11:07,125 --> 00:11:09,959
Uh, Rich, can you turn that down, please?

165
00:11:11,713 --> 00:11:15,297
Can someone please peel
the U.S. Attorney away from Nanc Lyons?

166
00:11:15,383 --> 00:11:16,919
Come in, !!br0ken!!

167
00:11:19,137 --> 00:11:23,051
Come in, all of you. Just come in.
I want you all to hear this.

168
00:11:24,309 --> 00:11:25,299
Family.

169
00:11:25,977 --> 00:11:28,219
There's no more important word.

170
00:11:29,856 --> 00:11:31,392
Family is more than just a name.

171
00:11:32,317 --> 00:11:34,604
Joey Gargan and I don't share a name.

172
00:11:35,028 --> 00:11:37,145
We share a lifetime bond.

173
00:11:37,906 --> 00:11:39,238
We're family.

174
00:11:40,366 --> 00:11:43,609
We named you girls the Boiler Room Girls.

175
00:11:44,746 --> 00:11:46,829
I like to think
we called you that because,

176
00:11:47,415 --> 00:11:49,031
working on Bobby's campaign...

177
00:11:50,168 --> 00:11:52,535
he had such a fire in your bellies.

178
00:11:53,546 --> 00:11:55,629
Wanting to live up to the name
on that ticket.

179
00:11:57,300 --> 00:11:59,713
Wanting to prove yourselves
worthy of it...

180
00:12:01,346 --> 00:12:02,712
the Kennedy name.

181
00:12:06,267 --> 00:12:07,929
We miss him every day.

182
00:12:09,854 --> 00:12:11,095
His memory endures.

183
00:12:12,232 --> 00:12:14,394
His ideals will endure.

184
00:12:15,693 --> 00:12:17,434
And we will persevere,

185
00:12:17,528 --> 00:12:19,520
because that's what Kennedys do.

186
00:12:20,531 --> 00:12:21,942
And I want you all to know that,

187
00:12:22,450 --> 00:12:25,363
because you're all part of
the Kennedy family now.

188
00:12:28,414 --> 00:12:29,780
To family.

189
00:12:29,874 --> 00:12:31,831
- To family.
- To family.

190
00:12:31,918 --> 00:12:35,377
And to Ted in the White House in '72.

191
00:12:54,941 --> 00:12:56,523
You should come up
to Boston this summer.

192
00:12:56,609 --> 00:12:58,350
We can take in a Red Sox game.

193
00:12:59,946 --> 00:13:01,232
I don't know.

194
00:13:01,698 --> 00:13:03,690
Come on, this could be our year.

195
00:13:04,325 --> 00:13:05,861
You say that every year, Joey.

196
00:13:05,952 --> 00:13:08,194
Yeah, but Yastrzemski's on fire.

197
00:13:08,288 --> 00:13:11,907
- I mean, really.
- Maybe. I'm actually running

198
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,208
this campaign in Jersey City, so...

199
00:13:14,294 --> 00:13:16,536
We could head out to Hyannis.
Drop in on Ethel and the kids.

200
00:13:16,629 --> 00:13:19,087
I know she'd love to see you again.

201
00:13:19,882 --> 00:13:21,919
- How's she doing?
- She's great.

202
00:13:22,468 --> 00:13:26,337
She's running that charity
that she set up in Bobby's name.

203
00:13:26,431 --> 00:13:29,424
- Yeah, I know.
- So she's busy with that.

204
00:13:32,562 --> 00:13:36,272
She's a widow with 11 kids. It's rough.

205
00:13:36,733 --> 00:13:38,349
It's rough on the whole family.

206
00:13:40,486 --> 00:13:42,443
But, hey, what are you
doing wasting your talents on

207
00:13:42,530 --> 00:13:45,568
- a mayor's race in Jersey City?
- Excuse me. Sorry.

208
00:13:47,535 --> 00:13:49,367
Go Sox.

209
00:14:09,015 --> 00:14:11,632
Houston, if you could comply,

210
00:14:11,726 --> 00:14:14,560
we'd like to see
little smiling faces up there.

211
00:14:14,645 --> 00:14:16,011
If you could give us some interior views,

212
00:14:16,105 --> 00:14:19,473
I'm sure everybody would
like to see you. Over.

213
00:14:23,404 --> 00:14:25,896
My dad once said to me...

214
00:14:25,990 --> 00:14:28,232
..."Teddy, you can lead a serious life

215
00:14:28,326 --> 00:14:30,238
or you can lead a non-serious life.

216
00:14:30,328 --> 00:14:32,285
And I'll still love you
whichever choice you make.

217
00:14:32,372 --> 00:14:34,910
But if you choose to lead
a non-serious life,

218
00:14:34,999 --> 00:14:37,241
I just won't have much time for you."

219
00:14:39,629 --> 00:14:41,541
I can't believe he would say
something like that.

220
00:14:42,298 --> 00:14:45,757
No, it's okay. I was just a kid.

221
00:14:52,558 --> 00:14:53,924
What were you gonna say before?

222
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,261
Before you were interrupted, about Bobby?

223
00:14:57,355 --> 00:14:59,221
Um... No, never mind.

224
00:14:59,315 --> 00:15:01,307
No, go on. You were gonna ask,

225
00:15:02,193 --> 00:15:03,775
after Bobby was killed...

226
00:15:06,114 --> 00:15:07,821
why didn't I run in his place?

227
00:15:11,577 --> 00:15:12,738
What would you have done?

228
00:15:13,454 --> 00:15:16,162
If you were me and he was your brother,
what would you have done?

229
00:15:19,585 --> 00:15:24,080
I'd quit, leave Washington,
never look back.

230
00:15:25,508 --> 00:15:27,249
Which is exactly what I did.

231
00:15:28,719 --> 00:15:31,883
But I'm not you. He wasn't my brother.

232
00:15:32,723 --> 00:15:35,887
Yeah, well, I had three generations
of advisors up my ass,

233
00:15:35,977 --> 00:15:37,388
trying to convince me to run.

234
00:15:38,729 --> 00:15:39,936
None of them listened to me.

235
00:15:40,022 --> 00:15:42,605
I mean, everyone tried to
convince me otherwise.

236
00:15:42,692 --> 00:15:45,184
Everyone except... Except Joey.

237
00:15:45,987 --> 00:15:47,444
Said the country needed me.

238
00:15:48,614 --> 00:15:50,230
They just needed my name.

239
00:15:52,910 --> 00:15:54,867
I wasn't ready.

240
00:15:55,621 --> 00:15:57,863
Could you ever be?

241
00:16:04,046 --> 00:16:07,665
Sometimes the path you're on
isn't always the path you choose.

242
00:16:08,759 --> 00:16:11,843
What's stopping you from
making that choice yourself?

243
00:16:18,102 --> 00:16:20,890
We should get back.

244
00:16:20,980 --> 00:16:23,688
No. We should go to the beach.

245
00:17:06,275 --> 00:17:07,265
Hey!

246
00:17:11,239 --> 00:17:13,697
- Hello!
- Ted.

247
00:17:15,451 --> 00:17:17,534
You folks having some car troubles?

248
00:18:00,288 --> 00:18:01,244
Teddy!

249
00:18:12,883 --> 00:18:14,715
Mary Jo!

250
00:18:15,845 --> 00:18:17,711
Mary Jo!

251
00:19:09,398 --> 00:19:12,106
So you must have sailed with Bobby too?

252
00:19:14,028 --> 00:19:16,270
Yeah. And Jack.

253
00:19:17,615 --> 00:19:20,153
Bobby's actually the one that
taught Teddy and me how to sail.

254
00:19:20,493 --> 00:19:22,576
I bet he was a great sailor.

255
00:19:23,704 --> 00:19:27,197
No. He actually wasn't.

256
00:19:29,251 --> 00:19:31,834
It's okay. I can say that sort of thing.
We're brothers.

257
00:19:32,588 --> 00:19:33,874
Nice try.

258
00:19:34,382 --> 00:19:36,419
Aren't you cousins or something?

259
00:19:38,344 --> 00:19:40,131
Yeah, but they adopted me.

260
00:19:41,806 --> 00:19:45,265
Yeah. You don't really look
like a Kennedy.

261
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,722
...the Command Module, a wonderful shot.

262
00:19:48,813 --> 00:19:52,352
At this point, they were
203,00a miles from the Earth.

263
00:19:52,441 --> 00:19:54,854
43,000 miles from the moon.

264
00:20:00,616 --> 00:20:04,530
Get Joe Gargan.
We've got a problem.

265
00:20:04,620 --> 00:20:05,610
Sure, Ted.

266
00:20:18,843 --> 00:20:20,334
What the hell happened to you?

267
00:20:20,428 --> 00:20:22,135
You better get Paul too.

268
00:20:23,973 --> 00:20:25,885
Come on, Teddy, what's the big idea?

269
00:20:30,104 --> 00:20:32,221
I'm not gonna be president.

270
00:20:52,376 --> 00:20:54,959
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

271
00:20:55,045 --> 00:20:57,503
- Jesus, she's still in there?
- No, no, no. Paul.

272
00:20:57,590 --> 00:21:00,628
Showing back up at the party
in wet clothes will lessen our options.

273
00:21:27,286 --> 00:21:30,199
I can't get it open!
Can't swim with my knee.

274
00:21:30,289 --> 00:21:32,121
Then get up on the car
if you can't swim!

275
00:21:32,208 --> 00:21:33,744
I can't save us both.

276
00:21:36,837 --> 00:21:40,922
It's really dark down there.
I'm just going by feel.

277
00:21:43,219 --> 00:21:44,926
Joey, try the other side.

278
00:21:45,012 --> 00:21:46,548
Break a window or something.

279
00:21:46,639 --> 00:21:48,380
I already tried
breaking the window.

280
00:22:09,870 --> 00:22:14,706
Oh, my God, what have I done?
What have I done?

281
00:22:21,924 --> 00:22:24,166
She was already dead.

282
00:22:54,915 --> 00:22:57,373
What the hell happened, Teddy?

283
00:22:59,169 --> 00:23:02,082
You guys need to get me back to Edgartown.

284
00:23:17,688 --> 00:23:19,896
Teddy, listen to me.

285
00:23:19,982 --> 00:23:22,269
The only advice I have for you, and...

286
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,272
And I say this to you not as your friend,

287
00:23:25,362 --> 00:23:28,025
not as your family, but as your lawyer...

288
00:23:29,158 --> 00:23:31,946
you gotta report this thing
and you've gotta do it right now.

289
00:23:34,038 --> 00:23:35,495
Joey's right, Senator.

290
00:23:35,915 --> 00:23:39,124
You got the U.S. Attorney of Massachusetts
saying the same thing.

291
00:23:41,337 --> 00:23:44,250
All right, I'll report it.

292
00:23:50,971 --> 00:23:52,963
Where the hell
are you going, Teddy?

293
00:23:57,519 --> 00:23:59,852
Paul, turn the car off.

294
00:24:02,691 --> 00:24:05,434
Ted! What are you doing?

295
00:24:07,154 --> 00:24:09,737
Do we even know whose boat that is?

296
00:24:25,673 --> 00:24:26,629
Hey.

297
00:24:28,384 --> 00:24:31,001
You're gonna survive, okay?

298
00:24:33,722 --> 00:24:36,135
Teddy, promise me you're gonna
call your mother first.

299
00:24:37,768 --> 00:24:40,806
Don't let her find out about another
family tragedy in the news.

300
00:24:53,117 --> 00:24:54,107
Ted!

301
00:24:58,872 --> 00:25:00,283
You'll report it, right?

302
00:25:01,875 --> 00:25:03,286
I'll handle it.

303
00:25:13,929 --> 00:25:16,421
Come on.
We gotta get this boat back.

304
00:25:18,267 --> 00:25:19,633
Watch your step.

305
00:25:19,727 --> 00:25:21,059
Don't move so fast.

306
00:26:05,147 --> 00:26:06,137
Teddy!

307
00:26:25,834 --> 00:26:27,120
Ted!

308
00:26:53,570 --> 00:26:54,560
Ted!

309
00:27:07,584 --> 00:27:09,701
Help. Help.

310
00:27:10,212 --> 00:27:12,795
Our Father, who art in heaven,

311
00:27:12,881 --> 00:27:15,043
hallowed be Your name...

312
00:27:15,134 --> 00:27:17,672
Hail Mary, full of grace.
The Lord is with thee.

313
00:27:17,761 --> 00:27:19,593
Blessed art thou amongst women,

314
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:21,546
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.

315
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,723
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,

316
00:27:23,809 --> 00:27:25,596
now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

317
00:27:25,894 --> 00:27:27,851
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be Your name.

318
00:27:27,938 --> 00:27:29,770
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done,

319
00:27:29,857 --> 00:27:31,223
on Earth as it is in heaven.

320
00:27:31,483 --> 00:27:34,647
Give us this day our daily bread
and forgive us our trespasses,

321
00:27:34,987 --> 00:27:37,445
as we forgive those
who trespass against us.

322
00:27:37,823 --> 00:27:39,655
Lead us not into temptation,

323
00:27:39,908 --> 00:27:42,275
but deliver us from evil. Amen.

324
00:27:44,121 --> 00:27:46,738
Hail Mary, full of grace.
The Lord is with thee.

325
00:27:47,166 --> 00:27:48,953
Blessed art thou amongst women,

326
00:27:49,042 --> 00:27:51,955
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.

327
00:27:53,422 --> 00:27:55,789
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,

328
00:27:55,883 --> 00:27:58,500
now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

329
00:28:08,896 --> 00:28:10,387
Operator. How may I help you?

330
00:28:11,356 --> 00:28:13,018
I need to make a collect call.

331
00:28:13,567 --> 00:28:15,274
- Your name?
- Ted.

332
00:28:18,447 --> 00:28:19,528
Hello?

333
00:28:19,615 --> 00:28:22,153
I have a collect call from Ted.
Will you accept the charges?

334
00:28:22,659 --> 00:28:24,651
- Yes, I will.
- Go ahead, please.

335
00:28:24,745 --> 00:28:26,702
I need to speak with my father.

336
00:28:26,788 --> 00:28:28,450
- Ted?
- Now, Ann.

337
00:28:33,962 --> 00:28:35,669
Okay, Ted, I have Joe for you.

338
00:28:36,715 --> 00:28:41,245
Dad, I'm sorry to be calling so late, I...

339
00:28:43,138 --> 00:28:47,257
I've gotten myself into
the deepest kind of trouble.

340
00:28:49,228 --> 00:28:52,437
There was an accident and, well...

341
00:28:58,528 --> 00:29:00,645
One of Bobby's secretaries is dead.

342
00:29:01,657 --> 00:29:02,818
Ah.

343
00:29:02,908 --> 00:29:04,240
And I was driving.

344
00:29:05,244 --> 00:29:06,530
Ah...

345
00:29:06,620 --> 00:29:07,952
No one else was involved.

346
00:29:09,081 --> 00:29:10,663
And I'm okay.

347
00:29:12,876 --> 00:29:16,085
I may have had too much to drink.
I just don't know. I don't know.

348
00:29:19,299 --> 00:29:22,963
I need your help, Dad. Need it.

349
00:29:30,143 --> 00:29:31,554
Dad?

350
00:29:34,731 --> 00:29:36,142
Dad?

351
00:29:37,609 --> 00:29:39,475
Al...

352
00:29:40,821 --> 00:29:43,313
Alibi.

353
00:30:08,390 --> 00:30:10,757
- Good evening, sir.
- Do you have the time?

354
00:30:12,060 --> 00:30:15,053
- It's 2:25.
- Okay.

355
00:30:15,522 --> 00:30:19,061
Been having a little trouble sleeping.

356
00:30:19,693 --> 00:30:20,979
You have a good night.

357
00:30:22,029 --> 00:30:23,736
Good night, Senator.

358
00:31:40,857 --> 00:31:42,018
Dad!

359
00:31:45,070 --> 00:31:47,653
Go! Go to that house.
Tell them to call the cops.

360
00:32:28,071 --> 00:32:29,403
Hey, Chief.

361
00:32:36,371 --> 00:32:37,862
So that's the car there, huh?

362
00:32:38,582 --> 00:32:39,914
Mmm-hmm.

363
00:32:41,793 --> 00:32:44,581
Guess I'm gonna have to
find a bathing suit.

364
00:32:44,671 --> 00:32:46,253
- Good morning, Senator.
- Good morning.

365
00:32:46,339 --> 00:32:47,580
Morning.

366
00:32:55,974 --> 00:32:57,261
This is Ted Sorensen.

367
00:32:57,350 --> 00:33:00,309
It's Teddy. Listen,
I'm gonna need someone with your

368
00:33:00,395 --> 00:33:02,762
legal and public relation skills.

369
00:33:02,856 --> 00:33:04,267
Are you alone?

370
00:33:04,357 --> 00:33:07,316
I got the boys this weekend,
but I can talk.

371
00:33:07,819 --> 00:33:09,936
Listen, you're the first person
I'm telling this to.

372
00:33:10,655 --> 00:33:12,863
I'm not even sure
the authorities know yet.

373
00:33:22,792 --> 00:33:25,375
Huck, keep all those people back!

374
00:33:25,462 --> 00:33:29,331
Hey, come on back.
Sylvia, Walter, come on. Step on back.

375
00:33:50,695 --> 00:33:53,529
Paul. Paul!

376
00:34:01,289 --> 00:34:02,780
- Hey, Huck.
- Hey, John.

377
00:34:03,792 --> 00:34:05,954
Yeah, it's a '67 black Oldsmobile.

378
00:34:07,295 --> 00:34:09,537
- Hey.
- Hey, John.

379
00:34:09,631 --> 00:34:11,088
It was too dark. I couldn't see anything.

380
00:34:11,174 --> 00:34:13,757
Don't you worry. If anyone's down there,
I'll have 'em up in 10 minutes.

381
00:34:14,219 --> 00:34:16,336
Chief! That's the car
I was telling you about.

382
00:34:16,429 --> 00:34:17,965
The one I saw last night.

383
00:34:18,056 --> 00:34:20,594
Will you just pipe down
and ID whose car this is?

384
00:34:21,685 --> 00:34:23,301
It's coming over the radio now.

385
00:34:23,395 --> 00:34:25,182
...registered to Edward M. Kennedy.

386
00:34:25,272 --> 00:34:27,639
It's registered to Edward M. Kennedy.

387
00:34:27,732 --> 00:34:29,815
- Well, who was driving?
- I'd say she was.

388
00:34:29,901 --> 00:34:31,688
Then I don't think you have
anything to worry about.

389
00:34:31,778 --> 00:34:33,440
And that story plays?

390
00:34:33,530 --> 00:34:35,021
That's what happened, isn't it?

391
00:34:35,448 --> 00:34:36,780
Teddy boy!

392
00:34:37,534 --> 00:34:39,571
About to sit down to brunch.
Come on and join us.

393
00:34:40,829 --> 00:34:43,037
- Come on!
- I gotta let you go.

394
00:34:57,095 --> 00:35:00,133
Chief, we got a body.

395
00:35:11,443 --> 00:35:12,979
He didn't report it.

396
00:35:13,069 --> 00:35:14,810
That son of a bitch.

397
00:35:38,803 --> 00:35:41,090
There was some damage done,

398
00:35:41,181 --> 00:35:43,639
but I did offer to pay for it.
They kicked me out anyway.

399
00:35:43,725 --> 00:35:46,968
I spent all night last night
just walking around.

400
00:35:48,772 --> 00:35:50,559
Hey. There's Joey.

401
00:35:53,818 --> 00:35:54,649
Ted.

402
00:35:55,570 --> 00:35:58,153
I'd like to speak with you in your room.

403
00:35:58,865 --> 00:35:59,696
Right now.

404
00:35:59,783 --> 00:36:02,070
Don't be rude, Joey.
We just sat down with the Richards.

405
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,152
It's a matter of some importance.

406
00:36:11,127 --> 00:36:12,618
What the fuck is going on, Ted?

407
00:36:12,712 --> 00:36:14,078
Wait a minute, Joey.

408
00:36:14,172 --> 00:36:16,255
You were supposed to
report the accident.

409
00:36:16,341 --> 00:36:18,003
What the hell happened last night?

410
00:36:20,595 --> 00:36:22,632
- I didn't report it.
- Oh, my...

411
00:36:22,722 --> 00:36:23,712
Shit!

412
00:36:26,810 --> 00:36:28,767
What could you possibly be thinking?

413
00:36:28,853 --> 00:36:30,640
How could you let this much time go by?

414
00:36:30,730 --> 00:36:33,017
Well, did you see the police arrive
at the cottage last night?

415
00:36:33,983 --> 00:36:34,973
No.

416
00:36:35,402 --> 00:36:36,563
- No.
- No?

417
00:36:36,653 --> 00:36:38,269
Well, don't you think,
if I had reported it,

418
00:36:38,363 --> 00:36:40,275
the police would have been there
within the hour?

419
00:36:40,657 --> 00:36:41,647
I guess so.

420
00:36:41,741 --> 00:36:43,778
I thought this matter had been handled.

421
00:36:43,868 --> 00:36:45,234
I thought I could count on you.

422
00:36:45,870 --> 00:36:48,613
The moment the police didn't arrive
at the cottage, you should have known.

423
00:36:48,707 --> 00:36:50,573
You should have known
it was your responsibility

424
00:36:50,667 --> 00:36:52,533
to report it to the authorities.

425
00:36:52,627 --> 00:36:53,993
What the hell are you talking about?

426
00:36:54,087 --> 00:36:55,544
No, you bungled this, Joey.

427
00:36:55,630 --> 00:36:57,622
You bungled it.
Now I gotta deal with it myself.

428
00:36:58,466 --> 00:37:00,458
We're all three implicated in this now.

429
00:37:01,010 --> 00:37:03,502
You can't just go
and pull this John Wayne shit!

430
00:37:05,724 --> 00:37:07,056
They're treating this like a crime scene.

431
00:37:07,142 --> 00:37:08,678
There's a dead girl out there,
for Christ's sakes.

432
00:37:08,768 --> 00:37:11,602
Attorney-client privilege
doesn't extend to aiding and abetting.

433
00:37:11,688 --> 00:37:12,974
I'm not gonna sugarcoat this.

434
00:37:13,356 --> 00:37:15,769
This situation's a lot worse than it was.

435
00:37:15,859 --> 00:37:19,102
You put us in a very
difficult position, Senator.

436
00:37:19,779 --> 00:37:22,567
Look, none of us has to
lose our jobs over this.

437
00:37:23,116 --> 00:37:27,030
You're gonna protect Paul and me,
and yourself. Okay?

438
00:37:29,372 --> 00:37:32,206
You just have to do
what you know is right.

439
00:37:34,544 --> 00:37:37,582
Okay. I'll report it.

440
00:37:38,089 --> 00:37:39,500
Okay.

441
00:37:41,468 --> 00:37:43,505
I'm going to have to say
Mary Jo was driving.

442
00:37:43,595 --> 00:37:46,303
- Christ.
- Joey, I love you, okay? You know that.

443
00:37:46,389 --> 00:37:48,005
But we both know what's at stake here.

444
00:37:48,767 --> 00:37:51,931
Now, we need to find a phone I can use
without someone breathing down my neck.

445
00:37:52,020 --> 00:37:53,511
There's one right here.

446
00:37:53,605 --> 00:37:56,097
You really want the desk clerk
listening in on this, Paul?

447
00:38:05,784 --> 00:38:06,774
Hey, Eugene.

448
00:38:07,619 --> 00:38:08,951
All right, let's wrap this up.

449
00:38:09,037 --> 00:38:11,199
I got a patient going
into labor any time now.

450
00:38:11,289 --> 00:38:13,952
You just tell me what's proper.
You're the medical examiner, so...

451
00:38:14,042 --> 00:38:16,034
- Associate medical examiner.
- What?

452
00:38:16,127 --> 00:38:18,414
Dr. Nevins is the resident
medical examiner.

453
00:38:18,505 --> 00:38:20,041
Mills here is just the associate.

454
00:38:20,131 --> 00:38:22,248
Yeah, well, Dr. Nevins is off today,

455
00:38:22,342 --> 00:38:24,675
so can we get this examination underway?

456
00:38:24,761 --> 00:38:26,218
Is that okay with you, Eugene?

457
00:38:26,304 --> 00:38:27,920
Yeah, sure.

458
00:38:30,558 --> 00:38:31,969
No signs of a struggle.

459
00:38:33,436 --> 00:38:35,393
No blood or obvious contusions.

460
00:38:36,648 --> 00:38:39,106
Let me check out what's in the lungs.

461
00:38:47,909 --> 00:38:50,617
So you said you found her
completely submerged, right?

462
00:38:50,703 --> 00:38:51,910
Yeah, that's right.

463
00:38:51,996 --> 00:38:54,955
Well, I think it's an open
and shut case. Drowning.

464
00:38:55,291 --> 00:38:56,953
She's been submerged for hours.

465
00:38:57,252 --> 00:38:59,414
A teaspoon of water
in her mouth means nothing.

466
00:39:00,505 --> 00:39:02,087
The foam around all the air passages,

467
00:39:02,173 --> 00:39:03,880
that suggests suffocation to me.

468
00:39:03,967 --> 00:39:07,756
I didn't realize that you undertakers
had a medical degree now.

469
00:39:07,846 --> 00:39:09,803
I don't, but I've seen enough dead bodies.

470
00:39:10,515 --> 00:39:13,724
Are you saying that there's a possibility
that maybe she didn't drown?

471
00:39:13,810 --> 00:39:16,302
Hey, when I was down there,
she was holding herself up

472
00:39:16,396 --> 00:39:18,228
like she was trying to get
her last breath of air.

473
00:39:18,940 --> 00:39:20,932
I could have had her out
of that car in 25 minutes

474
00:39:21,025 --> 00:39:23,017
if I got the call, but no one called.

475
00:39:28,032 --> 00:39:29,148
Senator Kennedy's office.

476
00:39:29,242 --> 00:39:30,198
David.

477
00:39:30,285 --> 00:39:32,948
We have a situation here on
Chappaquiddick.

478
00:39:33,037 --> 00:39:34,528
What kind of situation?

479
00:39:34,622 --> 00:39:37,410
There's a firestorm headed your way
and you need to be ready for it.

480
00:39:37,876 --> 00:39:40,459
Okay, but I'll be more ready
when I know what it's about.

481
00:39:40,545 --> 00:39:43,879
Listen, the situation is,

482
00:39:44,465 --> 00:39:47,048
my car was involved in an accident.

483
00:39:47,427 --> 00:39:50,295
I am going to be saying that
I wasn't the one driving.

484
00:39:51,306 --> 00:39:53,719
Well, were you driving?

485
00:39:56,311 --> 00:39:59,134
Senator. Were you driving?

486
00:40:01,316 --> 00:40:02,397
Senator?

487
00:40:05,486 --> 00:40:06,977
Senator, are you okay?

488
00:40:07,405 --> 00:40:09,943
Was anyone hurt?
Have the police been notified?

489
00:40:10,867 --> 00:40:15,487
Ted, it would help a lot
if you gave me some details.

490
00:40:16,539 --> 00:40:18,656
Ted? Ted, are you there?

491
00:40:19,375 --> 00:40:21,458
Uh, that's all you need to know for now.

492
00:40:29,844 --> 00:40:31,631
Uh, I'm headed back to town.

493
00:40:31,721 --> 00:40:34,054
- Yeah. That's a good idea.
- Joey, take care of the girls.

494
00:40:34,140 --> 00:40:36,507
Make sure they don't get
wrapped up in any of this.

495
00:40:36,601 --> 00:40:39,344
- I was thinking the same thing.
- Paul, you, uh...

496
00:40:39,437 --> 00:40:42,054
Paul, you go with Ted. Run interference.

497
00:40:42,148 --> 00:40:43,935
Make sure he doesn't
talk with anyone else.

498
00:40:44,025 --> 00:40:44,856
Got it.

499
00:40:54,702 --> 00:40:55,909
Wake up, everybody!

500
00:40:55,995 --> 00:40:57,406
Wake up, get packed, get dressed.

501
00:40:57,497 --> 00:40:58,954
We're leaving as soon as possible.

502
00:41:02,210 --> 00:41:05,203
This garbage can is for
all of the responsible,

503
00:41:05,296 --> 00:41:07,333
non-alcoholic, upright citizens' trash.

504
00:41:10,718 --> 00:41:11,708
This one's for everything else.

505
00:41:11,803 --> 00:41:13,339
All the bottles, cans...

506
00:41:13,429 --> 00:41:15,261
Joey, will you just tell us
what's going on already?

507
00:41:15,348 --> 00:41:16,338
No bullshit.

508
00:41:18,351 --> 00:41:20,843
Yeah. Yeah, okay.

509
00:41:21,896 --> 00:41:23,137
There's, um...

510
00:41:24,232 --> 00:41:26,724
- There's been an accident.
- What?

511
00:41:26,818 --> 00:41:30,357
Senator Kennedy's car went off the bridge
at Poucha Pond last night.

512
00:41:31,030 --> 00:41:35,616
He's okay, but we cannot find Mary Jo.

513
00:41:35,702 --> 00:41:37,284
Are the police looking for her?

514
00:41:45,795 --> 00:41:49,254
I want you to know that every effort
possible was made to save her.

515
00:41:50,383 --> 00:41:52,750
Oh, my God, she's dead.

516
00:41:59,267 --> 00:42:02,681
Okay. What do we need to do now?

517
00:42:04,397 --> 00:42:06,389
What do we do to help the senator?

518
00:42:10,319 --> 00:42:13,278
You all need to
get off the island as soon as possible.

519
00:42:14,574 --> 00:42:15,940
Nobody knows you're here.

520
00:42:17,035 --> 00:42:20,779
Just get yourselves home and keep quiet.

521
00:42:22,665 --> 00:42:24,327
Remember what Ted said last night.

522
00:42:26,085 --> 00:42:27,201
We're family.

523
00:42:28,963 --> 00:42:31,296
We need to protect each other like family.

524
00:42:38,056 --> 00:42:41,140
Senator, I hear you were in
an accident this morning.

525
00:42:41,225 --> 00:42:42,761
I can't make any statements.

526
00:42:42,852 --> 00:42:44,138
There're a lot of questions being asked.

527
00:42:44,228 --> 00:42:46,060
Jim, I'd appreciate
some understanding on this.

528
00:42:46,522 --> 00:42:47,888
If the rumors are true,

529
00:42:48,316 --> 00:42:50,182
I'm not the one
you should be worried about.

530
00:42:53,738 --> 00:42:56,025
The senator won't be
making any statements.

531
00:43:03,998 --> 00:43:05,580
- Senator.
- Is the chief in?

532
00:43:05,666 --> 00:43:08,955
The chief's not here.
That's his private office.

533
00:43:09,420 --> 00:43:13,380
We're just gonna wait in there
until the chief gets back, okay?

534
00:43:18,179 --> 00:43:20,091
Come on, folks.
Let's step it back a little bit.

535
00:43:21,140 --> 00:43:23,928
Can somebody tell me why
we haven't found Senator Kennedy yet?

536
00:43:24,310 --> 00:43:26,518
He's right here at the station, Chief.

537
00:43:28,981 --> 00:43:31,064
Well, can you tell him to
get his ass down here?

538
00:43:32,401 --> 00:43:34,609
The senator wants you to come to him.

539
00:43:39,659 --> 00:43:42,868
Sorry, he's not here.
No, I don't have...

540
00:43:42,954 --> 00:43:44,286
Chief's on his way.

541
00:43:44,956 --> 00:43:47,414
Good, thanks, Paul. That'll be fine.

542
00:43:50,002 --> 00:43:51,538
Will you please give me a moment?

543
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:54,830
Sure.

544
00:44:03,432 --> 00:44:05,594
Directory assistance.
What listing, please?

545
00:44:06,352 --> 00:44:09,390
Uh, Kopechne, Berkeley Heights,
New Jersey, I think.

546
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:10,891
I'm unsure of the spelling.

547
00:44:13,609 --> 00:44:14,816
I'll connect you.

548
00:44:19,448 --> 00:44:20,529
Hello?

549
00:44:20,616 --> 00:44:24,280
- Hello, Mrs. Kopechne?
- Yes, it is.

550
00:44:24,745 --> 00:44:28,489
This is Senator Ted Kennedy,
Mrs. Kopechne.

551
00:44:28,583 --> 00:44:29,994
Could I please speak to your husband?

552
00:44:30,376 --> 00:44:32,413
Oh, Senator.

553
00:44:33,212 --> 00:44:35,670
Joseph's not here at the moment.

554
00:44:36,340 --> 00:44:38,332
Can I take a message for him?

555
00:44:41,804 --> 00:44:44,592
Mrs. Kopechne,
Mary Jo was involved in an accident.

556
00:44:46,767 --> 00:44:48,599
Was it in a car?

557
00:44:48,686 --> 00:44:50,598
It was an automobile accident.

558
00:44:52,940 --> 00:44:57,025
She was... She was returning to take
a ferry back to the mainland

559
00:44:57,111 --> 00:44:58,602
when the accident occurred.

560
00:45:04,118 --> 00:45:05,905
Was my daughter killed?

561
00:45:10,041 --> 00:45:11,031
Yes.

562
00:45:15,171 --> 00:45:18,505
Mary Jo was an exceptional human being.

563
00:45:20,092 --> 00:45:25,463
She served my brother and my family

564
00:45:26,307 --> 00:45:30,301
with grace, dignity...

565
00:46:30,705 --> 00:46:33,038
Ted, you're on with Joe.

566
00:46:33,124 --> 00:46:35,958
Dad, I'm at the police station.

567
00:46:37,003 --> 00:46:39,791
I'm telling you this because
I wanted to let you know

568
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:42,543
that I am going to explain
to them what happened.

569
00:46:43,634 --> 00:46:46,001
And I'm going to say that
I was the one driving.

570
00:46:47,513 --> 00:46:51,553
I will protect myself,
but I have to do what's right.

571
00:46:52,643 --> 00:46:54,225
I have to tell the truth.

572
00:46:55,062 --> 00:46:56,598
Alibi.

573
00:47:05,448 --> 00:47:08,361
I'm not going to be the one
defined by my flaws.

574
00:47:09,368 --> 00:47:13,237
Joe Jr. was the favorite one.
Jack was the charming one.

575
00:47:13,331 --> 00:47:14,538
Bobby was the brilliant one.

576
00:47:14,623 --> 00:47:15,989
And what did that leave me, Dad?

577
00:47:16,083 --> 00:47:18,200
The fat one? The stupid one?

578
00:47:18,294 --> 00:47:20,251
I'll tell you what.
The one who got in the most trouble.

579
00:47:21,380 --> 00:47:23,963
Well, I can be charming.
I can be brilliant. I can...

580
00:47:25,343 --> 00:47:27,380
I am the only son you got left.

581
00:47:28,971 --> 00:47:31,429
I'm the one making this decision, Dad.
I'm the one...

582
00:47:31,515 --> 00:47:34,428
Ted, he's writing something.

583
00:47:37,646 --> 00:47:40,935
He says, "You're the head
of the family now. Start acting like it."

584
00:47:41,025 --> 00:47:42,015
Goodbye, Dad.

585
00:48:03,923 --> 00:48:04,834
This is Dun Gifford.

586
00:48:04,924 --> 00:48:07,917
Dun, I need you on
the next plane to Edgartown.

587
00:48:08,010 --> 00:48:10,218
Yeah, I've been expecting
your call. David filled me in.

588
00:48:10,304 --> 00:48:11,135
Good.

589
00:48:11,722 --> 00:48:14,260
Listen, we've made mistakes here.
I want you to understand that.

590
00:48:15,017 --> 00:48:16,804
But I want to make sure, going forward,

591
00:48:16,894 --> 00:48:18,635
we handle everything
with the utmost integrity.

592
00:48:18,938 --> 00:48:20,019
I understand.

593
00:48:21,107 --> 00:48:24,521
We need to make sure the poor girl's body
gets to her family right away.

594
00:48:24,610 --> 00:48:26,192
Can you... Can you do that for me?

595
00:48:26,278 --> 00:48:30,272
Uh, okay, but there may be a delay
if they want to perform an autopsy.

596
00:48:30,366 --> 00:48:32,358
Why do you think I want it out of here?

597
00:48:33,411 --> 00:48:35,027
Can you handle this or not?

598
00:48:35,121 --> 00:48:37,454
Of course, Senator,
but what if they demand...

599
00:48:39,166 --> 00:48:40,156
Paul.

600
00:48:47,967 --> 00:48:49,128
Paul, I, uh...

601
00:48:50,136 --> 00:48:52,469
I need you to help me come up
with a written statement.

602
00:48:52,847 --> 00:48:54,509
I'm going to say I was driving.

603
00:48:55,599 --> 00:48:58,216
I don't want to drag you and Joey into
this any more than I already have.

604
00:48:58,310 --> 00:48:59,801
So we're just gonna leave that part out.

605
00:48:59,895 --> 00:49:03,104
I mean any part that can hurt my position
with the police or the public,

606
00:49:03,816 --> 00:49:07,025
we're gonna leave out. Can you do that?

607
00:49:10,656 --> 00:49:11,646
Sure.

608
00:49:12,283 --> 00:49:13,649
Is there any truth to the rumor?

609
00:49:13,742 --> 00:49:16,200
Has the senator been found?

610
00:49:23,043 --> 00:49:24,284
Hold all my calls.

611
00:49:24,378 --> 00:49:26,961
Bob, there's a bunch of reporters outside.
Keep them out there, all right?

612
00:49:27,047 --> 00:49:28,083
- Yes, sir.
- Outside.

613
00:49:30,551 --> 00:49:32,008
Good morning, Chief.

614
00:49:34,513 --> 00:49:35,503
Senator.

615
00:49:36,307 --> 00:49:39,141
I have a statement I'd like to read,
if that's okay.

616
00:49:40,478 --> 00:49:41,889
Okay.

617
00:49:52,323 --> 00:49:54,940
"On July 18, 1969,

618
00:49:55,701 --> 00:49:57,784
at approximately 11:15 p.m.

619
00:49:58,329 --> 00:50:00,946
in Chappaquiddick, Martha's Vineyard,
Massachusetts,

620
00:50:02,333 --> 00:50:04,416
I was driving my car on Main Street

621
00:50:04,502 --> 00:50:06,539
on the way to get the ferry
back to Edgartown.

622
00:50:08,339 --> 00:50:11,047
I was unfamiliar with the road
and turned right onto Dike Road

623
00:50:11,133 --> 00:50:13,750
instead of bearing a hard left
onto Main Street.

624
00:50:14,970 --> 00:50:18,008
After proceeding for
approximately one half mile...

625
00:50:18,974 --> 00:50:22,388
I discovered a hill
and came upon a narrow bridge...

626
00:50:23,479 --> 00:50:25,436
then went off the edge of the bridge.

627
00:50:27,608 --> 00:50:30,146
There was one passenger
in the car with me,

628
00:50:31,237 --> 00:50:32,694
Miss Mary Jo Kopechne.

629
00:50:33,989 --> 00:50:37,153
She was a former secretary of my brother
Robert F. Kennedy.

630
00:50:38,911 --> 00:50:42,450
The car turned over and landed
on the roof, resting on the bottom.

631
00:50:43,749 --> 00:50:46,537
I attempted to open the door
and the window of the car,

632
00:50:47,419 --> 00:50:49,706
and have no recollection of
how I got out."

633
00:50:52,716 --> 00:50:56,630
"I came to the surface
and then repeatedly dove down

634
00:50:56,720 --> 00:50:59,303
to see if the passenger
was still in the car."

635
00:51:13,779 --> 00:51:15,065
Mary Jo!

636
00:51:16,740 --> 00:51:19,073
Come on. Come on. Mary Jo!

637
00:51:20,244 --> 00:51:22,361
"I was unsuccessful in the attempt."

638
00:51:25,165 --> 00:51:27,657
"I was exhausted and in a state of shock.

639
00:51:30,045 --> 00:51:32,628
I recall walking back to
where my friends were eating.

640
00:51:34,133 --> 00:51:36,250
I then asked someone to
bring me back to Edgartown.

641
00:51:37,636 --> 00:51:39,923
I remember walking around
for a period of time

642
00:51:40,014 --> 00:51:41,755
and then going to my hotel room.

643
00:51:43,017 --> 00:51:45,600
When I fully realized
what had happened this morning,

644
00:51:46,312 --> 00:51:48,520
I immediately contacted the police."

645
00:51:55,863 --> 00:51:57,525
Well, I'm glad you're okay, Senator.

646
00:52:02,661 --> 00:52:04,948
Normally, I would need to
hold you for questioning.

647
00:52:05,039 --> 00:52:06,200
Type this up, please.

648
00:52:06,290 --> 00:52:07,371
Are you sure that's necessary?

649
00:52:07,458 --> 00:52:08,539
Whatever you think is right.

650
00:52:08,626 --> 00:52:10,288
But your written statement here
pretty much answers

651
00:52:10,377 --> 00:52:11,788
- any questions I might have.
- I agree.

652
00:52:11,879 --> 00:52:13,336
I trust your experience, Chief.

653
00:52:13,672 --> 00:52:16,255
Why don't we see if we can get you
back to Hyannis Port right away?

654
00:52:16,592 --> 00:52:18,800
I got a friend who's a pilot,
he can get you there in no time.

655
00:52:18,886 --> 00:52:20,468
The senator would really appreciate that.

656
00:52:31,398 --> 00:52:33,105
Sounds fine. Fine, Chief.

657
00:52:33,692 --> 00:52:36,309
Now, Chief,
if you wouldn't mind not letting

658
00:52:36,403 --> 00:52:37,860
the press get a hold of that statement,

659
00:52:37,946 --> 00:52:39,812
you know, just till I get the all clear
from my lawyer.

660
00:52:39,907 --> 00:52:41,899
Not a problem, Senator.
Just, uh...

661
00:52:41,992 --> 00:52:44,405
You just let me know
if there's anything else I can do for you.

662
00:52:44,495 --> 00:52:48,114
No, sir. You're doing
a bang-up job here, Dominic.

663
00:52:48,207 --> 00:52:49,493
A bang-up job.

664
00:52:52,086 --> 00:52:54,920
Is there a, uh...
You got another way out of here?

665
00:52:56,507 --> 00:52:58,715
- Where's Ted now?
- Flying home as we speak.

666
00:52:59,176 --> 00:53:00,838
What concerns me is
his written statement.

667
00:53:00,928 --> 00:53:02,590
Has anyone even reached this police chief?

668
00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:04,717
Absolutely no comment.
Not a damn word from anybody.

669
00:53:04,807 --> 00:53:06,218
No sweat. Count on us.

670
00:53:06,308 --> 00:53:08,470
Said he'd hold off
releasing Ted's statement...

671
00:53:09,937 --> 00:53:11,223
Leaving the scene is bad enough,

672
00:53:11,313 --> 00:53:13,020
but what the hell was he doing
for eight hours?

673
00:53:13,107 --> 00:53:14,769
Do we know for sure
there were no witnesses?

674
00:53:14,858 --> 00:53:16,690
If we're lucky,
it'll be leaving the scene.

675
00:53:17,736 --> 00:53:19,318
- Get a copy.
- Manslaughter.

676
00:53:19,405 --> 00:53:22,489
Anybody calls,
I don't care who it is, no comment.

677
00:53:23,492 --> 00:53:24,858
Absolutely no comment.

678
00:53:59,653 --> 00:54:01,269
Oh, Ted.

679
00:54:02,072 --> 00:54:04,053
Your father wasn't expecting you so soon.

680
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:08,034
How's he, uh... How's he holding up, Ann?

681
00:54:08,996 --> 00:54:11,204
Oh... Uncle Joe was rather emotional.

682
00:54:12,499 --> 00:54:14,582
But physically, he's doing better.

683
00:54:16,170 --> 00:54:17,251
Good.

684
00:54:22,718 --> 00:54:23,834
Wait here, Ted.

685
00:54:28,724 --> 00:54:30,306
He'd prefer to come to you.

686
00:54:42,112 --> 00:54:43,944
Teddy's arrived, Joe.

687
00:55:18,565 --> 00:55:19,646
I'm glad to see you, Dad.

688
00:55:21,944 --> 00:55:23,060
You look good.

689
00:55:30,035 --> 00:55:32,698
I want to tell you again
how sincerely sorry I am...

690
00:55:34,623 --> 00:55:36,910
that I ever let a thing like this happen.

691
00:55:38,585 --> 00:55:40,827
And reassure you that
I have the situation,

692
00:55:40,921 --> 00:55:43,459
as terrible as it is,
under my complete control.

693
00:55:46,260 --> 00:55:47,796
I know...

694
00:55:50,264 --> 00:55:54,008
I'm sorry I got us into this.

695
00:55:57,020 --> 00:55:58,852
But if you can trust me, Dad,

696
00:55:59,106 --> 00:56:01,314
I have faith I can get us out.

697
00:56:03,026 --> 00:56:04,767
Your father would like to tell you...

698
00:56:08,115 --> 00:56:09,651
"You've lost my confidence.

699
00:56:10,576 --> 00:56:12,738
Do as I say and never lose it again.

700
00:56:13,495 --> 00:56:16,078
Otherwise, it will be
a nearly impossible task

701
00:56:16,164 --> 00:56:17,530
to restore it."

702
00:56:23,797 --> 00:56:25,663
Your dad really does love you.

703
00:56:27,509 --> 00:56:30,172
He hasn't been this active
since before Bobby died.

704
00:56:45,777 --> 00:56:47,018
Ted.

705
00:57:02,628 --> 00:57:06,212
Well, Bob, you handled
the Cuban Missile Crisis.

706
00:57:06,924 --> 00:57:08,756
Now let's see what you can do
with this one.

707
00:57:10,594 --> 00:57:12,426
- Hello, Mr. Kennedy.
- Joe.

708
00:57:13,388 --> 00:57:14,845
Hi, Teddy.

709
00:57:18,018 --> 00:57:21,102
Dad. I see you're still the man
with all the influence.

710
00:57:24,608 --> 00:57:28,773
Gentlemen, I appreciate

711
00:57:29,279 --> 00:57:31,612
you all making this short trip
on my behalf.

712
00:57:33,116 --> 00:57:35,654
But I hope you'll understand
I'm going to handle this with my own team,

713
00:57:36,328 --> 00:57:38,615
since it's my political future
here at stake.

714
00:57:38,705 --> 00:57:41,288
You won't have a political future
if you're in jail, Ted.

715
00:57:42,084 --> 00:57:44,246
You're fighting a battle
on two fronts and you don't even know it.

716
00:57:44,336 --> 00:57:46,168
I think you need to cool down here, Bob.

717
00:57:46,672 --> 00:57:48,584
Okay? I understand my problem
with the press

718
00:57:48,674 --> 00:57:50,256
and with the people of Massachusetts.

719
00:57:50,342 --> 00:57:51,924
That's just the half of it.

720
00:57:52,010 --> 00:57:53,842
You're also in serious legal trouble, son.

721
00:57:55,097 --> 00:57:56,133
Teddy.

722
00:57:57,641 --> 00:58:02,056
Teddy, if they find that your negligence
contributed to this girl's death,

723
00:58:02,145 --> 00:58:03,932
that's involuntary manslaughter.

724
00:58:04,022 --> 00:58:07,390
If there's even a whisper that you're
not as clean as Mother Teresa,

725
00:58:07,651 --> 00:58:08,983
you will be charged.

726
00:58:09,653 --> 00:58:11,986
And there's not a lot of senators
that are charged with manslaughter

727
00:58:12,072 --> 00:58:14,689
- that go on to become president.
- Oh, I understand, Bob.

728
00:58:14,783 --> 00:58:16,991
That is to say
nothing about being convicted.

729
00:58:17,077 --> 00:58:18,613
If you are even indicted,

730
00:58:18,704 --> 00:58:20,240
it won't matter what verdict comes back.

731
00:58:20,872 --> 00:58:22,784
The court of public opinion
will have your head on a stake.

732
00:58:23,458 --> 00:58:25,825
We'll give it to Sorensen.
We won't have that problem.

733
00:58:25,919 --> 00:58:28,457
"Problems," Ted. Problems, plural.

734
00:58:29,339 --> 00:58:30,375
They are threefold.

735
00:58:31,299 --> 00:58:35,543
One, the information we know that we need
to make sure no one else knows.

736
00:58:35,637 --> 00:58:39,381
Two, the information we don't know
that we need to make sure stays unknown.

737
00:58:39,474 --> 00:58:41,887
Three, the information that
you have already admitted to

738
00:58:41,977 --> 00:58:43,684
that we need to make people forget.

739
00:58:44,604 --> 00:58:45,765
Now, to the first point.

740
00:58:46,356 --> 00:58:48,097
A dead body holds a lot of secrets.

741
00:58:48,191 --> 00:58:50,729
Those secrets can be the difference
between guilt and innocence,

742
00:58:50,819 --> 00:58:52,185
so we need to be in control of them.

743
00:58:52,487 --> 00:58:55,651
The only way to do that is
to be in control of that dead girl's body.

744
00:58:55,741 --> 00:58:58,950
Good. Because my staffer, Dun Gifford,

745
00:58:59,327 --> 00:59:01,159
is already at the funeral home right now.

746
00:59:01,621 --> 00:59:05,080
And that poor girl's body isn't going
anywhere except home to New Jersey

747
00:59:05,167 --> 00:59:06,248
without us knowing about it.

748
00:59:06,334 --> 00:59:07,916
Senator, with all due respect,

749
00:59:08,003 --> 00:59:11,087
having a gofer sitting on his hands
in the lobby isn't getting us anywhere.

750
00:59:12,632 --> 00:59:15,750
Now, there are explicit procedures

751
00:59:16,344 --> 00:59:19,212
that must be followed
for moving a body across state lines.

752
00:59:20,015 --> 00:59:21,472
Do you have any idea,

753
00:59:21,558 --> 00:59:23,800
has the death certificate
even been signed yet?

754
00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:33,646
Dun Gifford.

755
00:59:33,737 --> 00:59:35,478
Dun, listen, we're in this
deeper than I thought.

756
00:59:35,572 --> 00:59:38,406
I need you to get the death certificate
signed as soon as possible.

757
00:59:38,867 --> 00:59:42,201
- Do whatever it takes.
- Yeah. I'll look into that.

758
00:59:42,996 --> 00:59:43,986
Ted?

759
00:59:45,165 --> 00:59:47,578
Good as done. Just waiting on word back.

760
00:59:47,667 --> 00:59:50,000
Good. Now, as I was saying,

761
00:59:50,087 --> 00:59:51,999
we need to parse through
the unknowns of this case

762
00:59:52,089 --> 00:59:54,502
to determine if there's any liabilities
hiding in the trees.

763
00:59:55,425 --> 00:59:59,510
So what evidence can be used against Ted
to prove he acted negligently, hmm?

764
00:59:59,596 --> 01:00:01,838
Why are we just assuming that
I acted negligently, Bob?

765
01:00:01,932 --> 01:00:03,844
There's a dead body in
the Edgartown mortuary

766
01:00:03,934 --> 01:00:05,721
that would suggest it's a possibility.

767
01:00:05,811 --> 01:00:08,394
There's no witnesses. There's no evidence.

768
01:00:09,272 --> 01:00:10,854
I mean, what proof can there possibly be?

769
01:00:11,858 --> 01:00:12,939
Were your headlights working, Ted?

770
01:00:13,026 --> 01:00:14,312
Oh, of course they were working.

771
01:00:14,402 --> 01:00:15,984
Was your license
in good standing?

772
01:00:16,071 --> 01:00:18,358
- Anyone see you drinking?
- Were you wearing your safety belts?

773
01:00:18,448 --> 01:00:20,110
Did you tires leave skid marks?

774
01:00:21,326 --> 01:00:23,192
I think my license might be expired.

775
01:00:24,454 --> 01:00:25,570
Your license is expired?

776
01:00:25,664 --> 01:00:27,371
What, do you really think
that's a problem?

777
01:00:27,457 --> 01:00:28,868
- Teddy!
- How is that negligent?

778
01:00:28,959 --> 01:00:31,997
Anytime you get behind the wheel,
you are in breach of the law.

779
01:00:32,087 --> 01:00:33,498
I'd say that's pretty negligent.

780
01:00:33,588 --> 01:00:35,671
That means that he
was driving against the law.

781
01:00:35,757 --> 01:00:36,873
This thing is worse than I thought.

782
01:00:39,719 --> 01:00:42,553
Joe Greelish runs
the Hyannis motor registry.

783
01:00:44,307 --> 01:00:47,425
We can get him to run the license
through his connections in Edgartown.

784
01:00:47,519 --> 01:00:48,726
Let Gifford talk to him.

785
01:00:48,812 --> 01:00:50,724
Damn it, Ted, you can't
be connected to this!

786
01:00:50,814 --> 01:00:52,180
It's all right.
I know just the guy.

787
01:00:52,274 --> 01:00:53,390
James Smith.

788
01:00:53,483 --> 01:00:56,692
He worked as an advance man
for Jack on the '60 campaign.

789
01:00:57,070 --> 01:00:58,356
Off the books.

790
01:00:59,364 --> 01:01:02,482
Just so happens he finds himself
working in the local DA's office.

791
01:01:03,493 --> 01:01:04,984
How's that gonna help us?

792
01:01:05,078 --> 01:01:08,446
He'll know people in government
sympathetic to the cause.

793
01:01:08,540 --> 01:01:10,281
You know.
Look into it, maybe?

794
01:01:10,375 --> 01:01:12,742
Of course, James.
I'll make some calls.

795
01:01:12,836 --> 01:01:14,327
That's excellent, Walter.

796
01:01:14,421 --> 01:01:16,458
Ted and I go
way back to Suffolk County.

797
01:01:17,048 --> 01:01:18,835
I'm sure the senator
would appreciate it.

798
01:01:19,259 --> 01:01:20,670
I'll see what I can do.

799
01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:21,876
Thanks, Walter.

800
01:01:28,685 --> 01:01:30,096
We got it.

801
01:01:35,150 --> 01:01:37,767
Whoa! As soon as I have more information,

802
01:01:37,861 --> 01:01:39,693
I'll get it to you. Thank you.

803
01:01:43,575 --> 01:01:45,441
...200 feet per second.

804
01:01:45,535 --> 01:01:47,822
The astronauts fully expected
they would need to perform

805
01:01:47,913 --> 01:01:50,371
another course correction
to make certain they entered

806
01:01:50,457 --> 01:01:52,289
the correct orbit around the moon...

807
01:01:52,542 --> 01:01:54,704
What's the cutoff for the national papers?

808
01:01:54,794 --> 01:01:57,502
On Saturday, 5:00 p.m. Why?

809
01:01:57,589 --> 01:02:00,047
A story like this could dominate
the headlines for weeks.

810
01:02:01,051 --> 01:02:03,134
It'll take nothing short
of men walking on the moon

811
01:02:03,220 --> 01:02:04,552
to knock it off the front page.

812
01:02:06,223 --> 01:02:09,307
Fortunately for us, it looks like
Ted's big brother arranged for just that.

813
01:02:10,227 --> 01:02:11,468
Now, if we can keep a tight lid on this

814
01:02:11,561 --> 01:02:13,018
for a couple more hours,

815
01:02:13,521 --> 01:02:16,229
we might actually be able to
develop a decent PR strategy.

816
01:02:16,316 --> 01:02:18,103
By the time the papers have room for Ted,

817
01:02:18,193 --> 01:02:20,059
they'll all be writing
exactly what we want them to.

818
01:02:20,153 --> 01:02:23,021
After a thorough examination,
Ted's doctor here

819
01:02:23,114 --> 01:02:26,653
deduced he suffered a concussion
and was in a state of shock.

820
01:02:27,035 --> 01:02:29,118
But I haven't even
examined the patient yet.

821
01:02:29,204 --> 01:02:30,661
That won't be necessary.

822
01:02:30,747 --> 01:02:33,956
There's nothing left to do
but run out the clock, gentlemen.

823
01:02:34,292 --> 01:02:35,578
Come 5:00 p.m.,

824
01:02:35,669 --> 01:02:37,581
we'll be back out in front of the problem.

825
01:02:39,965 --> 01:02:42,207
Actually, New York Times
already has a story.

826
01:02:42,926 --> 01:02:44,337
- What?
- Excuse me?

827
01:02:44,678 --> 01:02:48,297
On my way to the station,
I bumped into a reporter.

828
01:02:48,765 --> 01:02:50,802
Seemed to know that
I was involved in an accident.

829
01:02:50,892 --> 01:02:52,884
Who was it, Ted?
What was his name?

830
01:02:54,729 --> 01:02:55,685
James Reston.

831
01:02:55,772 --> 01:02:57,764
- Reston.
- James Reston?

832
01:02:57,857 --> 01:03:00,144
The chief political correspondent
and executive editor.

833
01:03:00,235 --> 01:03:03,399
How? How could you forget to mention that?

834
01:03:03,488 --> 01:03:04,820
I was in a state of shock.

835
01:03:04,906 --> 01:03:07,023
- Bullshit, Ted!
- Hey, hey.

836
01:03:07,117 --> 01:03:09,700
Now we gotta get someone
to the Kopechnes as soon as possible.

837
01:03:09,786 --> 01:03:11,778
Someone's gotta run
interference with any press

838
01:03:11,871 --> 01:03:14,784
before one of her parents
says something that totally sinks us.

839
01:03:14,874 --> 01:03:17,116
They're in New Jersey, so someone
ought to get over there quick.

840
01:03:21,047 --> 01:03:22,208
What are you still doing here?

841
01:03:24,092 --> 01:03:26,550
Markham, you get that chief on the line
and you make sure he understands

842
01:03:26,636 --> 01:03:29,970
he is not to release that written
statement under any circumstances.

843
01:03:30,056 --> 01:03:31,467
Times may have this right now,

844
01:03:31,558 --> 01:03:33,299
but let's see if
we can keep it an exclusive.

845
01:03:33,393 --> 01:03:35,350
Ted, get your press secretary, uh...

846
01:03:36,062 --> 01:03:37,303
- Dick, um...
- Drayne.

847
01:03:37,397 --> 01:03:39,639
Get Dick Drayne to feed
a leak to the Times.

848
01:03:39,733 --> 01:03:41,224
Let him know that, uh...

849
01:03:42,485 --> 01:03:44,522
you've been diagnosed with
a very serious concussion.

850
01:03:44,612 --> 01:03:47,104
That would explain
why you're acting like a mental patient.

851
01:03:49,409 --> 01:03:50,741
Anything else, gentlemen?

852
01:03:51,077 --> 01:03:52,409
Be sympathetic.

853
01:03:57,667 --> 01:04:00,375
"When I, Ted, fully realized
what had happened..."

854
01:04:00,462 --> 01:04:02,044
Chief Arena, telephone.

855
01:04:02,130 --> 01:04:04,543
Hang on.
Hang on, guys. I gotta take this.

856
01:04:07,886 --> 01:04:08,797
Hello.

857
01:04:08,887 --> 01:04:12,301
Chief, thank God I got you.
Uh, I need to ask a big favor.

858
01:04:12,390 --> 01:04:15,133
Uh, can you hold off on the senator's
statement just a little longer?

859
01:04:15,226 --> 01:04:17,343
- Couple hours.
- You're gonna have to speak up, son.

860
01:04:17,437 --> 01:04:18,973
I've got a room full of reporters here.

861
01:04:19,064 --> 01:04:21,101
I need you to hold off

862
01:04:21,191 --> 01:04:23,934
on releasing the senator's statement

863
01:04:24,027 --> 01:04:25,313
a little longer.

864
01:04:25,403 --> 01:04:27,269
Well, I'm sorry, I've already released it.

865
01:04:27,364 --> 01:04:28,275
What?

866
01:04:28,365 --> 01:04:30,322
I'm just going through it
for the third time.

867
01:04:31,409 --> 01:04:32,240
Oh, Jesus.

868
01:04:32,327 --> 01:04:34,910
Actually, I have a few questions
for you, Mr. Markham.

869
01:04:36,331 --> 01:04:38,368
Now, remember, Dick, this is an exclusive.

870
01:04:38,458 --> 01:04:39,915
You don't need to overdo it.

871
01:04:40,001 --> 01:04:42,163
We're just trying to make sure
this doesn't spin out of control

872
01:04:42,253 --> 01:04:43,789
into something like manslaughter...

873
01:04:44,923 --> 01:04:46,789
or an affair, God forbid.

874
01:04:47,300 --> 01:04:48,962
You don't need to say another word.

875
01:04:49,636 --> 01:04:51,798
And throw it something about
me being on sedatives.

876
01:04:51,888 --> 01:04:53,254
Make it sound dramatic.

877
01:05:00,563 --> 01:05:02,680
This is James Reston
of the New York Times.

878
01:05:02,774 --> 01:05:05,687
- James, Dick Drayne here.
- Hello, Dick.

879
01:05:05,777 --> 01:05:07,734
It's a terrible thing
about this accident.

880
01:05:07,821 --> 01:05:09,232
Yes. Yes, it is.

881
01:05:09,614 --> 01:05:11,697
The senator suffered a serious concussion.

882
01:05:11,783 --> 01:05:15,823
His physician has him on sedatives
just so he can manage the pain.

883
01:05:17,789 --> 01:05:21,703
Sedatives? With a concussion?

884
01:05:24,963 --> 01:05:27,671
Your friend the police chief
just sank this entire ship.

885
01:05:28,007 --> 01:05:29,293
What do you mean? How?

886
01:05:30,176 --> 01:05:31,417
Mr. Markham?

887
01:05:31,511 --> 01:05:33,673
He read the written statement
to the press.

888
01:05:34,681 --> 01:05:36,092
Three times, apparently.

889
01:05:36,182 --> 01:05:38,174
The story's gonna hit the wire any minute.

890
01:05:38,268 --> 01:05:40,305
Okay, look, we're not sunk yet.

891
01:05:40,395 --> 01:05:43,138
- That statement's pretty airtight.
- Oh, airtight, huh?

892
01:05:43,231 --> 01:05:45,644
You contradict yourself
in the first two sentences.

893
01:05:45,733 --> 01:05:48,350
Main road's paved, Teddy. Dike Road's not.

894
01:05:48,445 --> 01:05:50,607
Doesn't take an expert cartographer
to tell the difference.

895
01:05:50,697 --> 01:05:53,405
And what about this deputy that
saw your car driving away from the ferry

896
01:05:53,491 --> 01:05:54,902
at a quarter to 1:00 in the morning?

897
01:05:54,993 --> 01:05:56,825
Yeah, well, that's just
his word against mine.

898
01:05:56,911 --> 01:05:58,868
We gotta go through
his statement line by line.

899
01:05:58,955 --> 01:06:02,198
Guys, guys, I think we're
overreacting here. All right?

900
01:06:02,292 --> 01:06:03,749
Dick's running the concussion story.

901
01:06:03,835 --> 01:06:05,667
That's going to explain
any inconsistencies.

902
01:06:07,464 --> 01:06:08,955
Dick Drayne on line three.

903
01:06:10,049 --> 01:06:11,665
This should be interesting.

904
01:06:13,303 --> 01:06:15,090
Dick, you're on with the boys.

905
01:06:15,180 --> 01:06:17,297
So, did the sedative stuff play?

906
01:06:18,308 --> 01:06:20,800
Did any of you guys
actually consult a physician?

907
01:06:20,894 --> 01:06:22,260
Yeah, of course.

908
01:06:22,353 --> 01:06:24,515
Well, according to Reston,
you don't give sedatives

909
01:06:24,606 --> 01:06:27,144
to a patient who's had a concussion.

910
01:06:27,233 --> 01:06:28,440
It could kill them.

911
01:06:28,526 --> 01:06:31,109
- Sedatives?
- Good Lord.

912
01:06:31,196 --> 01:06:33,813
Bay of Pigs was a better run operation.

913
01:06:35,617 --> 01:06:37,984
We need to seriously
rebalance this equation.

914
01:06:38,244 --> 01:06:40,907
Edna, hang up.
Don't talk to anybody, all right?

915
01:06:43,291 --> 01:06:45,248
Walter? What are you doing here?

916
01:06:45,627 --> 01:06:47,163
I'm the special prosecutor.

917
01:06:47,253 --> 01:06:48,619
They assigned me to the Kennedy case.

918
01:06:48,713 --> 01:06:50,796
Thank God.

919
01:06:51,633 --> 01:06:53,920
We can use all the help we can get.

920
01:06:57,222 --> 01:06:58,338
Mary Jo Kopechne,

921
01:06:58,431 --> 01:07:00,798
a passenger in the senator's automobile,

922
01:07:00,892 --> 01:07:02,474
was drowned early Saturday morning

923
01:07:02,560 --> 01:07:05,724
when he drove the car off a bridge
and overturned in a pond.

924
01:07:06,439 --> 01:07:08,522
Police say that Kennedy
reported the accident

925
01:07:08,608 --> 01:07:10,224
about nine hours later.

926
01:07:10,944 --> 01:07:12,731
The last ferry left at midnight.

927
01:07:12,820 --> 01:07:14,732
The crewmen say Kennedy was not on it.

928
01:07:14,989 --> 01:07:16,355
The questions arise,

929
01:07:16,449 --> 01:07:18,031
who took him across the channel?

930
01:07:18,409 --> 01:07:20,617
And didn't one of his friends
ask him where he'd been?

931
01:07:20,995 --> 01:07:22,236
How he got wet?

932
01:07:22,580 --> 01:07:24,492
Where his car and Miss Kopechne were?

933
01:07:25,250 --> 01:07:27,867
If the questions were raised,
what were the answers?

934
01:07:30,004 --> 01:07:31,870
Seems like
they want you back inside.

935
01:07:32,590 --> 01:07:35,128
I'm busy. Can't you tell?

936
01:07:40,056 --> 01:07:41,592
I can't watch you do this, Ted.

937
01:07:43,101 --> 01:07:45,184
- Do what, Joe?
- Self-destruct.

938
01:07:48,231 --> 01:07:49,642
Nobody's said anything.

939
01:07:50,275 --> 01:07:52,437
Perhaps they haven't seen it, but I have.

940
01:07:54,529 --> 01:07:56,737
You've been on this path since Bobby died.

941
01:07:59,576 --> 01:08:02,034
Your expectations for your
whole life didn't change

942
01:08:02,120 --> 01:08:03,702
the moment he hit the ground.

943
01:08:05,248 --> 01:08:07,365
There never were any expectations
for my life.

944
01:08:07,458 --> 01:08:09,575
Yes, there were, Joey. There always were.

945
01:08:10,211 --> 01:08:14,205
I needed you. I needed you to protect me.

946
01:08:16,134 --> 01:08:18,171
You're the only brother I have left, Joe.

947
01:08:21,931 --> 01:08:24,048
This has to be the end of my involvement.

948
01:08:25,852 --> 01:08:27,969
I'm sorry, Teddy.
I wish ol' Joey could fix it,

949
01:08:28,730 --> 01:08:30,062
but I can't.

950
01:08:33,276 --> 01:08:35,859
"We choose to go to
the moon not because it is easy,

951
01:08:35,945 --> 01:08:37,652
but because it is hard."

952
01:08:38,906 --> 01:08:41,523
What does your brother's promise
to America mean to you?

953
01:08:42,869 --> 01:08:46,738
He was always someone
who kept his promises.

954
01:08:48,041 --> 01:08:51,785
My brother committed his life
to the idea that

955
01:08:51,878 --> 01:08:55,042
the United States is
a beacon of democracy.

956
01:08:55,506 --> 01:08:56,997
And so too for my family,

957
01:08:57,425 --> 01:09:00,042
I think he was a beacon.
Someone we all hoped to...

958
01:09:00,136 --> 01:09:01,468
That looks good.

959
01:09:01,554 --> 01:09:02,886
Hard to believe this was yesterday.

960
01:09:02,972 --> 01:09:05,259
He said this mission
would have, quote,

961
01:09:05,350 --> 01:09:08,593
"a great impact on the minds
of the men across America."

962
01:09:08,686 --> 01:09:11,429
I think my brother set a course
for the entire nation

963
01:09:11,814 --> 01:09:13,180
in a way that we can never abandon.

964
01:09:14,692 --> 01:09:18,106
Anyone watching now would think
it's business as usual with the Kennedys.

965
01:09:19,739 --> 01:09:21,651
Even in my own life,
I've often asked,

966
01:09:22,075 --> 01:09:23,657
what would Jack have me do?

967
01:09:24,327 --> 01:09:25,568
Space is there.

968
01:09:25,995 --> 01:09:28,032
And the moon and the planets are there.

969
01:09:28,581 --> 01:09:30,823
And new hopes for knowledge
and peace are there.

970
01:09:31,250 --> 01:09:35,745
And therefore as we set sail,
we ask God's blessing

971
01:09:35,838 --> 01:09:38,421
on the most hazardous and dangerous

972
01:09:38,883 --> 01:09:41,967
and greatest adventure
on which man has ever embarked.

973
01:09:42,053 --> 01:09:44,887
Uncle Jack could do anything, huh, Dad?

974
01:09:46,808 --> 01:09:49,926
President Kennedy bast
a long shadow and still does.

975
01:09:50,019 --> 01:09:52,432
It's one I walk in every day.

976
01:09:53,272 --> 01:09:54,228
Thank you, Senator.

977
01:09:54,315 --> 01:09:57,399
Now we hear
from Houston that the crew has, uh,

978
01:09:57,485 --> 01:09:59,727
completed putting on the spacesuits,

979
01:09:59,821 --> 01:10:01,483
and the boots, helmets,

980
01:10:01,572 --> 01:10:05,316
and are now donning their
portable life support system.

981
01:10:05,410 --> 01:10:09,324
That backpack that carries
their oxygen, the cooling liquids,

982
01:10:09,414 --> 01:10:11,371
and their communications equipment.

983
01:10:11,457 --> 01:10:14,666
And they're set for a four-hour
stay on the lunar surface.

984
01:10:15,253 --> 01:10:16,585
Well within that margin,

985
01:10:16,671 --> 01:10:18,458
they will get back in the spacecraft

986
01:10:18,548 --> 01:10:22,041
after 2 hours and 40 minutes
on the lunar surface.

987
01:10:22,135 --> 01:10:24,627
We've had no further estimate
in the last few minutes

988
01:10:24,721 --> 01:10:28,340
as to the actual time
when they will step out of the spacecraft.

989
01:10:28,433 --> 01:10:32,473
Of course, we're standing by
for further word from Houston on that.

990
01:10:50,705 --> 01:10:52,321
Don't worry. I'll get it.

991
01:10:56,043 --> 01:10:58,581
Oh, hello.
Are Gwen and Joe here?

992
01:10:58,671 --> 01:11:00,458
We've heard about their loss
and we're so sorry.

993
01:11:00,548 --> 01:11:03,086
The Kopechnes thank you for your kindness.

994
01:11:03,176 --> 01:11:06,135
Would we be able to see them
just for a moment, please?

995
01:11:06,929 --> 01:11:09,171
Okay, Neil, we ban
see you coming down the ladder now.

996
01:11:09,265 --> 01:11:11,552
There he is.
There's a foot coming down the step.

997
01:11:11,642 --> 01:11:13,759
I'm at the foot of the ladder.

998
01:11:14,145 --> 01:11:16,603
The LM foot pads are only, uh...

999
01:11:18,232 --> 01:11:22,772
depressed in the surface
about one or two inches.

1000
01:11:23,070 --> 01:11:25,653
Although the surface appears to be,

1001
01:11:25,948 --> 01:11:30,739
uh, very, very fine-grained
as you get close to it.

1002
01:11:30,828 --> 01:11:32,535
It's almost like a powder.

1003
01:11:33,498 --> 01:11:36,206
Down there, it's very fine.

1004
01:11:38,044 --> 01:11:40,377
I'm going to step off the LM now.

1005
01:11:43,216 --> 01:11:44,752
Armstrong is on the moon.

1006
01:11:49,806 --> 01:11:53,390
On this July 20th, 1969.

1007
01:11:53,476 --> 01:11:56,344
That's one small step for man...

1008
01:11:57,396 --> 01:12:00,230
one giant leap for mankind.

1009
01:12:00,983 --> 01:12:02,440
I think that was Neil's quote.

1010
01:12:02,527 --> 01:12:03,563
I didn't understand.

1011
01:12:03,653 --> 01:12:05,315
One small step for man,

1012
01:12:05,404 --> 01:12:06,645
but I didn't get the second phrase.

1013
01:12:07,156 --> 01:12:10,069
Some more of our monitors here...

1014
01:12:16,332 --> 01:12:19,040
It was only this
morning, by evolution's clock,

1015
01:12:19,126 --> 01:12:21,869
that he fashioned the glass
that brought distance close,

1016
01:12:21,963 --> 01:12:25,001
showed him that his world,
the epicenter of everything,

1017
01:12:25,341 --> 01:12:28,505
is only a small speck in the
second-rate solar system...

1018
01:12:36,727 --> 01:12:39,470
Teddy, what the hell are you doing?

1019
01:12:40,064 --> 01:12:41,805
What does it look like?

1020
01:12:42,650 --> 01:12:44,516
Well, whatever you're doing,
it looks ridiculous.

1021
01:12:45,236 --> 01:12:47,523
I'm winning back the sympathies
of my constituents.

1022
01:12:47,947 --> 01:12:49,859
Yeah? It looks fake.

1023
01:12:49,949 --> 01:12:51,941
It's as real as can be.
It's a real neck brace.

1024
01:12:52,034 --> 01:12:54,151
Well, it looks fake on you.

1025
01:12:54,537 --> 01:12:55,869
That's 'cause you know me.

1026
01:12:56,581 --> 01:12:57,822
Come on, Teddy. Take that thing off.

1027
01:12:58,082 --> 01:12:59,664
No. Joey, no. I'm gonna wear it. No.

1028
01:12:59,750 --> 01:13:01,286
Ted, come on. It's stupid.

1029
01:13:01,544 --> 01:13:02,910
Joey, no, I like it.

1030
01:13:03,004 --> 01:13:05,121
Don't, Joey! No, no, no!

1031
01:13:08,134 --> 01:13:08,965
Joey!

1032
01:13:09,760 --> 01:13:12,093
That's it!
Take it... Take it off!

1033
01:13:12,179 --> 01:13:14,045
My back! My back, Joey!
Get off of me.

1034
01:13:15,141 --> 01:13:17,929
Aw, my back.

1035
01:13:19,437 --> 01:13:21,520
You're not a victim, Ted!

1036
01:13:23,941 --> 01:13:25,307
Jesus.

1037
01:13:26,986 --> 01:13:29,319
I'm gonna ask Dad and see what he says.

1038
01:13:36,996 --> 01:13:38,407
- Come in.
- Dad.

1039
01:13:38,789 --> 01:13:40,746
- Hey, Teddy.
- Oh, hey, guys.

1040
01:13:41,208 --> 01:13:43,666
Listen. Fellas, what do you think about me
wearing this to the funeral?

1041
01:13:43,753 --> 01:13:45,210
I think it might gain us some sympathy.

1042
01:13:45,296 --> 01:13:46,912
You look like a putz, Ted.

1043
01:13:47,006 --> 01:13:48,668
You know how weak
that'll look to the Russians?

1044
01:13:48,758 --> 01:13:49,874
The hell with you guys!

1045
01:13:51,844 --> 01:13:53,210
I'll wear what I want.

1046
01:14:04,941 --> 01:14:06,557
Thanks for doing this, Joany.

1047
01:14:08,444 --> 01:14:10,185
Go fuck yourself, Teddy.

1048
01:14:14,700 --> 01:14:18,614
I, uh, I lost my family
when I was very young.

1049
01:14:18,704 --> 01:14:20,115
Both parents.

1050
01:14:21,707 --> 01:14:25,166
I can only imagine
how much harder this is.

1051
01:14:26,545 --> 01:14:28,753
I just wanted you to know,

1052
01:14:29,465 --> 01:14:32,128
I needed to tell you both that...

1053
01:14:33,344 --> 01:14:36,087
I did everything I could for Mary Jo.

1054
01:14:38,849 --> 01:14:41,512
I tried to save her, Mr. Kopechne.

1055
01:14:42,395 --> 01:14:44,728
I did everything I could.

1056
01:14:47,775 --> 01:14:49,687
What did you say your name was, again?

1057
01:14:54,615 --> 01:14:56,322
Senator,
thank you so much for being here.

1058
01:14:56,409 --> 01:14:57,399
Mr. Kopechne.

1059
01:14:57,493 --> 01:14:59,325
I know
what a sacrifice you must have made.

1060
01:14:59,412 --> 01:15:00,948
I'm so sorry for your loss.

1061
01:15:01,038 --> 01:15:02,574
Thank you
for trying to save our daughter.

1062
01:15:02,665 --> 01:15:04,122
If there's anything
I can do, please.

1063
01:15:23,894 --> 01:15:25,806
...sayeth to the angel,

1064
01:15:26,063 --> 01:15:28,897
"Here am I, the servant of the Lord.

1065
01:15:28,983 --> 01:15:31,646
Let it be with me according to your word."

1066
01:15:32,278 --> 01:15:35,316
And so it was with our Mary Jo,

1067
01:15:35,406 --> 01:15:38,114
that from faith she drew her strength,

1068
01:15:38,200 --> 01:15:40,362
her conviction and purpose in this world.

1069
01:15:40,453 --> 01:15:43,070
It was faith that led Mary Jo...

1070
01:16:01,223 --> 01:16:03,636
Please tell me
I can believe in you.

1071
01:16:19,658 --> 01:16:21,445
What are you so afraid of?

1072
01:16:22,912 --> 01:16:23,743
Senator?

1073
01:16:25,581 --> 01:16:26,913
Senator.

1074
01:16:30,544 --> 01:16:32,957
You were up there for a very long time.

1075
01:16:36,634 --> 01:16:38,546
I got lost in my thoughts.

1076
01:16:39,595 --> 01:16:40,927
How's your wife?

1077
01:16:42,556 --> 01:16:44,047
She's okay.

1078
01:16:45,893 --> 01:16:47,384
I really am curious.

1079
01:16:48,521 --> 01:16:50,763
Tragedy has a way of defining people.

1080
01:16:51,816 --> 01:16:54,149
On one hand, you have someone
like Jackie who goes

1081
01:16:54,235 --> 01:16:56,818
and practically becomes
ambassador for the family.

1082
01:16:57,780 --> 01:16:59,112
Keeping the legacy alive.

1083
01:17:00,116 --> 01:17:01,402
On the other hand,

1084
01:17:01,492 --> 01:17:04,075
a tragedy like this
cripples some people...

1085
01:17:06,205 --> 01:17:08,242
till they curl up into a ball.

1086
01:17:11,418 --> 01:17:13,080
Joany's more the latter.

1087
01:17:14,380 --> 01:17:16,417
I think there's a third kind of person.

1088
01:17:18,008 --> 01:17:21,467
The kind of person
who defines their own legacy.

1089
01:17:23,013 --> 01:17:26,506
I think my chance to define my legacy
died with Mary Jo.

1090
01:17:27,268 --> 01:17:30,227
Senator, look at Mr. and Mrs. Kopechne.

1091
01:17:32,356 --> 01:17:34,097
They don't blame you.

1092
01:17:36,318 --> 01:17:37,980
Why should America?

1093
01:17:42,825 --> 01:17:45,488
Senator, an officer's saying
he saw you at 12:45

1094
01:17:45,578 --> 01:17:47,911
with a woman after the ferry closed.

1095
01:17:47,997 --> 01:17:50,785
What about the rumors that
Ms. Kopechne was pregnant?

1096
01:17:50,875 --> 01:17:52,537
"Kennedy walked around with an open collar

1097
01:17:52,626 --> 01:17:54,663
showing off a previously
unseen neck brace."

1098
01:17:55,129 --> 01:17:56,620
What affect do you think

1099
01:17:56,714 --> 01:17:58,626
this will have on your
political career, Senator?

1100
01:17:58,716 --> 01:18:01,379
And when can we expect some answers
to some of these questions?

1101
01:18:01,468 --> 01:18:02,959
"For a man wearing a neck brace,

1102
01:18:03,053 --> 01:18:06,842
Kennedy had no trouble craning around
to see who was behind him at the funeral."

1103
01:18:06,932 --> 01:18:07,843
Senator!

1104
01:18:07,933 --> 01:18:09,799
I'll make a statement
at the appropriate time.

1105
01:18:09,894 --> 01:18:12,602
And when exactly will
that appropriate time be, Senator?

1106
01:18:12,688 --> 01:18:14,270
Can you give us an indication

1107
01:18:14,356 --> 01:18:15,722
of when that appropriate
time will be, Senator?

1108
01:18:20,070 --> 01:18:21,402
Those are the Boston papers.

1109
01:18:21,822 --> 01:18:22,858
You want to hear from the New York Times?

1110
01:18:22,948 --> 01:18:25,235
No, I got it.

1111
01:18:26,535 --> 01:18:28,117
The neck brace was a mistake.
I see that now.

1112
01:18:30,247 --> 01:18:31,237
Damn it.

1113
01:18:33,584 --> 01:18:36,076
This country has a deep connection
to the Kennedy name,

1114
01:18:36,170 --> 01:18:38,036
and that is a valuable thing, gentlemen.

1115
01:18:38,714 --> 01:18:40,455
And we can't just let that go to waste.

1116
01:18:41,842 --> 01:18:45,301
We need to remind the American people
what this family has been through.

1117
01:18:46,222 --> 01:18:47,679
And how much more we have left to achieve.

1118
01:18:47,765 --> 01:18:50,007
And how are you planning
on doing that, Ted?

1119
01:18:52,686 --> 01:18:54,473
A nationally televised statement.

1120
01:18:55,856 --> 01:18:59,395
All three networks, prime time.

1121
01:19:00,361 --> 01:19:01,477
Is that all?

1122
01:19:02,279 --> 01:19:05,943
Why not have Ted fill in for
Carson on The Tonight Show?

1123
01:19:07,201 --> 01:19:08,487
That's actually not a bad idea.

1124
01:19:09,203 --> 01:19:11,786
The networks will donate the time
if it's part of their news coverage.

1125
01:19:12,206 --> 01:19:15,040
We could frame the national conversation
the way we want it framed.

1126
01:19:15,125 --> 01:19:17,412
- How do we do that?
- He's got to look sympathetic.

1127
01:19:17,503 --> 01:19:19,790
It'd be easier to get him
to fill in for Carson.

1128
01:19:19,880 --> 01:19:21,246
We tell the truth.

1129
01:19:21,924 --> 01:19:23,460
Or at least our version of it.

1130
01:19:25,177 --> 01:19:27,339
And it ends with an appeal to the voters,

1131
01:19:27,429 --> 01:19:29,216
to the people that elected me.

1132
01:19:29,306 --> 01:19:32,470
We need to remind them
that this family perseveres,

1133
01:19:32,559 --> 01:19:34,346
that we don't back down from a fight,

1134
01:19:34,436 --> 01:19:36,177
that we don't get backed into a corner.

1135
01:19:36,272 --> 01:19:38,639
We have a true compass and we follow it.

1136
01:19:39,984 --> 01:19:41,941
Now I followed mine
the best I could that night.

1137
01:19:42,027 --> 01:19:44,189
And me and Paul and Joe,

1138
01:19:44,280 --> 01:19:46,738
we did everything we could
to save that poor girl.

1139
01:19:46,824 --> 01:19:48,690
- You got a winner there, son.
- Amen to that, Bob.

1140
01:19:48,784 --> 01:19:50,571
Son of a bitch,
that's a hell of a winner.

1141
01:19:50,953 --> 01:19:52,660
We get Sorensen to dress this speech up,

1142
01:19:52,746 --> 01:19:54,408
you might make it through
this thing unscathed.

1143
01:19:54,498 --> 01:19:56,865
If we do this right,
you might be more electable.

1144
01:19:56,959 --> 01:19:58,291
That's good.

1145
01:19:59,795 --> 01:20:01,127
A girl dies,

1146
01:20:01,922 --> 01:20:05,006
and yet somehow Ted is the martyr?

1147
01:20:07,594 --> 01:20:08,584
Think about it.

1148
01:20:09,430 --> 01:20:13,470
Do we really want to prop him up
as an injured hero here?

1149
01:20:13,559 --> 01:20:15,551
This strategy's the only thing
we've come up with

1150
01:20:15,644 --> 01:20:18,227
that has a chance of saving Ted.
We need to all get behind it.

1151
01:20:18,314 --> 01:20:23,105
I'm telling you, these theatrics
are not gonna hold up in a court of law!

1152
01:20:23,986 --> 01:20:25,022
He's right.

1153
01:20:26,030 --> 01:20:28,773
We need to make sure this case is closed
before Ted talks to the press.

1154
01:20:28,866 --> 01:20:30,402
The hearing's not till Monday.

1155
01:20:30,492 --> 01:20:33,155
Then we move it up immediately
or we will not survive the weekend.

1156
01:20:33,245 --> 01:20:34,326
I'll give Steele a call.

1157
01:20:34,413 --> 01:20:36,075
First, get a solid plea deal in place.

1158
01:20:36,165 --> 01:20:37,997
I want his word on that,
and I want it in person.

1159
01:20:38,667 --> 01:20:41,159
Markham. Markham!

1160
01:20:41,670 --> 01:20:43,286
- Me?
- Yes, you.

1161
01:20:45,841 --> 01:20:48,208
Joe, I meant it before.
I need you with me on this.

1162
01:20:49,303 --> 01:20:51,340
I meant what I said before too, Ted.

1163
01:20:51,430 --> 01:20:52,511
I can't go any further.

1164
01:20:53,140 --> 01:20:55,427
I'm packing my bags.
I'll be gone tomorrow.

1165
01:20:56,727 --> 01:21:00,311
Joe, this is your family too.
Start acting like it.

1166
01:21:05,611 --> 01:21:06,601
This is Steele.

1167
01:21:06,695 --> 01:21:08,277
I'd like to speak
with the district attorney.

1168
01:21:08,364 --> 01:21:10,777
- One moment.
- This is Dinis.

1169
01:21:10,866 --> 01:21:13,358
I'm still down here
in Edgartown with Chief Arena.

1170
01:21:13,452 --> 01:21:15,193
I just got a call about the hearing...

1171
01:21:15,287 --> 01:21:17,199
Yeah, yeah,
I got the same call, Walter.

1172
01:21:17,915 --> 01:21:20,953
- How do you want to proceed?
- Look, as far as I understand it,

1173
01:21:21,043 --> 01:21:22,909
we don't really have
the evidence to build a case.

1174
01:21:23,003 --> 01:21:25,620
There's no autopsy report,
the girl's already been embalmed.

1175
01:21:25,714 --> 01:21:27,296
He's got an impeccable driving record.

1176
01:21:27,383 --> 01:21:29,716
And for God sakes,
the guy had a concussion.

1177
01:21:30,094 --> 01:21:31,926
You're very wise, sir.

1178
01:21:32,429 --> 01:21:34,386
I want you to pass along
a message for me.

1179
01:21:34,473 --> 01:21:35,589
What's that?

1180
01:21:35,682 --> 01:21:38,550
From me through you
to Ted and no one else.

1181
01:21:38,644 --> 01:21:41,637
I won't touch this case
unless Ted wants me to.

1182
01:21:43,357 --> 01:21:44,347
Paul.

1183
01:21:45,776 --> 01:21:47,142
Walter.

1184
01:21:48,946 --> 01:21:52,314
It's done. Hearing's been
moved to Friday morning.

1185
01:21:52,658 --> 01:21:54,820
Good. The senator will be there.

1186
01:21:55,244 --> 01:21:58,237
He's prepared to plead guilty
to leaving the scene.

1187
01:21:58,330 --> 01:22:00,913
The Commonwealth
will recommend a minimum of

1188
01:22:01,208 --> 01:22:03,200
two months incarceration.

1189
01:22:05,170 --> 01:22:08,413
Upon the 200th year
of this nation's life,

1190
01:22:08,507 --> 01:22:11,625
it would be wonderful if we could do
the same thing with domestic issues

1191
01:22:11,718 --> 01:22:14,176
that President Kennedy did
with the space program.

1192
01:22:17,558 --> 01:22:19,595
Arena says he also has witnesses

1193
01:22:19,685 --> 01:22:21,802
who can account for
the senator's movements

1194
01:22:21,895 --> 01:22:25,013
during the eight hours between
the death of Mary Jo Kopechne

1195
01:22:25,107 --> 01:22:27,520
and when the senator
reported it to the police.

1196
01:22:27,609 --> 01:22:29,441
Now, Senator Kennedy

1197
01:22:29,528 --> 01:22:32,612
is back in the Kennedy compound
in seclusion.

1198
01:22:32,698 --> 01:22:36,692
And when or if he will answer questions
about the death of Mary Jo Kopechne

1199
01:22:36,785 --> 01:22:38,401
is still unknown.

1200
01:22:38,787 --> 01:22:40,073
I'll fix it right now.

1201
01:22:40,456 --> 01:22:44,291
Ice-cold lemonade.

1202
01:22:44,376 --> 01:22:45,708
Where's Dad?

1203
01:22:46,044 --> 01:22:48,206
Five cents a glass.

1204
01:22:49,173 --> 01:22:52,086
Five bents says he's
having another cup of coffee.

1205
01:22:59,766 --> 01:23:01,758
Your father wanted to speak with you.

1206
01:23:08,609 --> 01:23:10,350
What is it, Dad?

1207
01:23:17,868 --> 01:23:20,611
Ann, I need you to leave us, please.

1208
01:23:21,622 --> 01:23:23,705
It's very rare these days
I'm alone with my father

1209
01:23:23,790 --> 01:23:25,156
and the things I need to say to him,

1210
01:23:25,250 --> 01:23:27,207
I need to say to him in private.

1211
01:23:29,296 --> 01:23:30,912
Of course, Teddy.

1212
01:23:46,563 --> 01:23:48,930
Dad, did you know I never
wanted to be president?

1213
01:23:49,942 --> 01:23:51,683
Does it even matter to you?

1214
01:23:54,112 --> 01:23:55,978
I wanted to make you proud.

1215
01:23:57,282 --> 01:23:58,944
That's all I've ever wanted.

1216
01:24:00,160 --> 01:24:01,492
I spent my whole life...

1217
01:24:02,955 --> 01:24:06,073
chasing your dreams for you, just like...

1218
01:24:07,125 --> 01:24:10,493
Joe and just like Jack

1219
01:24:11,129 --> 01:24:13,337
and just like Bobby, and look

1220
01:24:13,966 --> 01:24:15,548
what happened to them.

1221
01:24:18,845 --> 01:24:20,381
They were great men...

1222
01:24:21,890 --> 01:24:24,382
but they weren't great
because of who you were.

1223
01:24:25,352 --> 01:24:27,810
They were great because of who they were.

1224
01:24:30,399 --> 01:24:31,355
Dad...

1225
01:24:32,442 --> 01:24:35,731
I want to be a great man.

1226
01:24:36,738 --> 01:24:39,230
I just don't know who I am.

1227
01:24:47,082 --> 01:24:48,823
You...

1228
01:24:51,503 --> 01:24:54,871
will never...

1229
01:24:56,508 --> 01:24:58,670
be great.

1230
01:25:10,647 --> 01:25:12,104
Come here.

1231
01:25:47,726 --> 01:25:50,810
Joey, no. I need you...

1232
01:25:50,896 --> 01:25:53,183
If it's about the statement,
I want nothing to do with it.

1233
01:25:53,273 --> 01:25:54,889
Just the opposite.

1234
01:25:54,983 --> 01:25:56,690
I need you to write me a resignation.

1235
01:26:00,322 --> 01:26:01,938
I'll take care of it.

1236
01:26:03,742 --> 01:26:06,735
Thank you. For the last time.

1237
01:26:11,041 --> 01:26:12,407
I'm proud of you.

1238
01:26:13,251 --> 01:26:15,538
Well, don't tell anyone else
how proud you are.

1239
01:26:15,629 --> 01:26:17,871
And let's just keep this
between the two of us.

1240
01:26:26,932 --> 01:26:28,264
Senator Edward Kennedy,

1241
01:26:28,892 --> 01:26:31,305
the only one of
the four brothers left alive,

1242
01:26:31,395 --> 01:26:35,355
went into court today and pleaded guilty
to leaving the scene

1243
01:26:35,440 --> 01:26:37,397
of an accident where
a young woman drowned.

1244
01:26:37,734 --> 01:26:40,192
He got a sentence of two months in jail,

1245
01:26:40,278 --> 01:26:43,021
the sentence suspended,
and a year's probation.

1246
01:26:43,115 --> 01:26:46,984
The judge gave him the minimum jail
sentence and suspended that,

1247
01:26:47,119 --> 01:26:51,238
because, he said, Kennedy already had been
and would be punished

1248
01:26:51,331 --> 01:26:54,119
more than anything
the court could do to him.

1249
01:26:55,085 --> 01:26:56,747
I have made my plea.

1250
01:26:56,837 --> 01:26:59,250
I have requested time
on the networks tonight

1251
01:27:00,006 --> 01:27:02,373
to speak to the people of
Massachusetts and the nation.

1252
01:27:02,884 --> 01:27:04,967
Your questions will all be answered then.

1253
01:27:05,679 --> 01:27:08,888
The suspended sentence
took many among the crowd

1254
01:27:08,974 --> 01:27:10,636
waiting outside the courthouse
by surprise.

1255
01:27:21,778 --> 01:27:23,019
Mr. Steele,

1256
01:27:23,113 --> 01:27:25,856
is it true that you and Senator Kennedy
were friends and co-workers

1257
01:27:25,949 --> 01:27:27,156
when you were in Suffolk County?

1258
01:27:27,242 --> 01:27:28,528
Please just answer the question.

1259
01:27:28,618 --> 01:27:29,950
Are you friends with Ted Kennedy?

1260
01:27:30,036 --> 01:27:32,198
Mr. Steele, please just
answer the question.

1261
01:27:32,789 --> 01:27:35,497
Senator Kennedy's
suspended sentence was granted

1262
01:27:35,584 --> 01:27:39,419
on the basis of his character
and his worldwide reputation.

1263
01:27:39,504 --> 01:27:43,168
But it's this worldwide reputation
that is now the larger question.

1264
01:27:43,675 --> 01:27:46,543
What can or will he do
to preserve his potential

1265
01:27:46,636 --> 01:27:49,003
as a candidate for
President of the United States?

1266
01:27:49,097 --> 01:27:51,009
Kennedy will
make a statement on television

1267
01:27:51,099 --> 01:27:53,762
tonight at 7:30 Eastern Time.

1268
01:27:53,852 --> 01:27:56,265
It will, of course, be seen live.

1269
01:27:56,354 --> 01:27:58,186
It will be a statement only.

1270
01:27:58,273 --> 01:28:01,016
No reporters will be allowed in,
by his decision,

1271
01:28:01,109 --> 01:28:03,066
and so no questions will be asked.

1272
01:28:03,779 --> 01:28:07,693
We've heard speculation on the possibility
he might resign from the Senate.

1273
01:28:07,949 --> 01:28:11,408
But it is only speculation,
and we don't know what he will say.

1274
01:28:11,703 --> 01:28:12,910
Sorensen been through this?

1275
01:28:12,996 --> 01:28:14,988
This whole thing is Sorensen's baby.

1276
01:28:15,081 --> 01:28:16,492
I think we've got a real winner here.

1277
01:28:16,583 --> 01:28:17,790
If you say so.

1278
01:28:18,919 --> 01:28:20,535
Okay, so for
the first half of the speech,

1279
01:28:20,629 --> 01:28:23,246
we felt it would seem more stately
for you to be reading.

1280
01:28:23,799 --> 01:28:25,006
Then halfway through,

1281
01:28:25,091 --> 01:28:27,504
we have you make a direct appeal
to the voters.

1282
01:28:27,594 --> 01:28:30,337
And we think, in order to get them
to really want to write in,

1283
01:28:30,430 --> 01:28:33,969
mail letters and show their support
for you and the family,

1284
01:28:34,059 --> 01:28:36,221
you should look straight into camera,

1285
01:28:36,311 --> 01:28:37,722
set the papers down,

1286
01:28:37,813 --> 01:28:40,271
and just talk from the heart.

1287
01:28:42,943 --> 01:28:44,855
David, I'm not off-script on this.

1288
01:28:44,945 --> 01:28:46,686
No, no, we'll have cue cards.

1289
01:28:46,780 --> 01:28:48,066
They're being done right now.

1290
01:28:48,323 --> 01:28:49,313
Okay.

1291
01:28:50,742 --> 01:28:53,735
- Sorensen's here.
- Hey, Teddy.

1292
01:28:55,372 --> 01:28:59,457
So, what do you think?

1293
01:28:59,543 --> 01:29:01,785
- What do I think?
- Well, yeah, you wrote it.

1294
01:29:02,128 --> 01:29:04,336
You know, what's your feeling on it?

1295
01:29:05,257 --> 01:29:06,873
I don't know, Teddy.

1296
01:29:07,425 --> 01:29:10,259
History usually has the final word
on these things.

1297
01:29:13,431 --> 01:29:14,763
Good luck.

1298
01:30:07,068 --> 01:30:09,310
- Okay, I'm ready.
- Bring them in.

1299
01:30:09,404 --> 01:30:10,861
Who's doing cue cards?

1300
01:30:10,947 --> 01:30:12,233
Where are the cue cards?

1301
01:30:15,660 --> 01:30:16,946
Oh, hey, Joey.

1302
01:30:17,037 --> 01:30:19,745
Ted, I got it. It's right here.

1303
01:30:21,750 --> 01:30:23,912
Thanks. I appreciate it.

1304
01:30:24,920 --> 01:30:26,127
Senator.

1305
01:30:29,341 --> 01:30:31,003
Want to look it over?

1306
01:30:32,052 --> 01:30:33,463
Okay, yeah.

1307
01:30:39,142 --> 01:30:40,678
I've been thinking.

1308
01:30:42,312 --> 01:30:46,773
Joey, we both have flaws, do we not?

1309
01:30:46,858 --> 01:30:48,224
Okay, live in two minutes.

1310
01:30:48,860 --> 01:30:50,943
Yeah, of course we do. We all do.

1311
01:30:51,529 --> 01:30:54,863
Right. Right. I thought that myself.

1312
01:30:54,950 --> 01:30:57,363
What's right is here
in front of you.

1313
01:30:57,744 --> 01:30:59,781
I don't know what's right anymore.

1314
01:31:00,664 --> 01:31:02,200
Joey, let's wrap things up.

1315
01:31:04,125 --> 01:31:08,085
Ted, I didn't say this before,
but I agree with you

1316
01:31:08,171 --> 01:31:10,663
that Kennedys do have a true compass.

1317
01:31:10,757 --> 01:31:12,544
And it's because you're following yours

1318
01:31:12,634 --> 01:31:14,091
that we're here right now.

1319
01:31:14,594 --> 01:31:17,883
You told the police that you were driving.
You told the truth.

1320
01:31:17,973 --> 01:31:20,636
You had me write this resignation.

1321
01:31:21,351 --> 01:31:22,808
Sorensen's speech...

1322
01:31:22,894 --> 01:31:25,136
Sorensen's speech is bullshit.

1323
01:31:25,563 --> 01:31:27,555
Every word of it. He made it up.

1324
01:31:28,400 --> 01:31:30,141
All the thoughts and emotions.

1325
01:31:30,944 --> 01:31:32,105
I was there.

1326
01:31:32,612 --> 01:31:35,696
I've been there with you
from the very beginning.

1327
01:31:37,575 --> 01:31:39,658
This may give me a chance
at a new beginning.

1328
01:31:39,744 --> 01:31:42,657
This isn't about opportunity.
It's about integrity.

1329
01:31:44,249 --> 01:31:46,491
- One minute.
- One minute, Joey!

1330
01:31:49,379 --> 01:31:51,166
Joey, you have flaws.

1331
01:31:52,924 --> 01:31:55,382
We all do. You said so yourself.

1332
01:31:56,469 --> 01:31:57,801
Moses had a temper.

1333
01:31:58,763 --> 01:32:00,629
Peter betrayed Jesus.

1334
01:32:01,683 --> 01:32:02,844
I have Chappaquiddick.

1335
01:32:03,727 --> 01:32:06,470
Yeah, Moses had a temper,

1336
01:32:06,563 --> 01:32:09,271
but he never left a girl
at the bottom of the Red Sea.

1337
01:32:10,650 --> 01:32:12,733
I still need someone
to hold these cue cards.

1338
01:32:15,030 --> 01:32:16,737
Ol' Joey will fix it.

1339
01:32:18,366 --> 01:32:20,153
Be a great cue card holder,
wouldn't you, Joey?

1340
01:32:20,869 --> 01:32:22,280
Thirty seconds!

1341
01:32:22,829 --> 01:32:25,492
That's great.
Now, right over this way.

1342
01:32:25,582 --> 01:32:27,574
Right down here, in front of the camera.

1343
01:32:28,126 --> 01:32:30,368
Right there. Hey, thanks, pal.

1344
01:32:32,547 --> 01:32:34,288
Okay, people, we're live

1345
01:32:34,924 --> 01:32:37,382
in ten, nine,

1346
01:32:37,886 --> 01:32:41,721
eight, seven, six,

1347
01:32:42,015 --> 01:32:44,678
five, four,

1348
01:32:45,101 --> 01:32:46,262
three...

1349
01:32:51,399 --> 01:32:52,856
My fellow citizens...

1350
01:32:54,027 --> 01:32:57,486
I have requested this opportunity
to talk to the people of Massachusetts

1351
01:32:57,906 --> 01:33:00,774
about the tragedy which happened
last Friday evening.

1352
01:33:02,077 --> 01:33:03,909
This morning I entered a plea of guilty

1353
01:33:03,995 --> 01:33:06,328
to the charge of leaving
the scene of an accident.

1354
01:33:07,207 --> 01:33:08,664
Prior to my appearance in court,

1355
01:33:08,750 --> 01:33:12,744
it would have been improper
for me to comment on these matters.

1356
01:33:13,379 --> 01:33:15,712
But tonight I am free to tell you

1357
01:33:15,799 --> 01:33:19,543
what happened and to say
what it means to me.

1358
01:33:20,804 --> 01:33:22,591
On the weekend of July 18th...

1359
01:33:23,473 --> 01:33:25,886
I was on Martha's Vineyard Island
participating

1360
01:33:26,184 --> 01:33:28,642
with my cousin, Joseph Gargan,

1361
01:33:29,312 --> 01:33:32,146
as for 30 years my family has participated

1362
01:33:32,816 --> 01:33:35,775
in the annual Edgartown sailing regatta.

1363
01:33:36,778 --> 01:33:40,397
Only reasons of health
prevented my wife from accompanying me.

1364
01:33:43,368 --> 01:33:46,657
On Chappaquiddick Island
off Martha's Vineyard,

1365
01:33:47,288 --> 01:33:51,123
I attended on Friday evening,
July 18th, a cookout

1366
01:33:51,668 --> 01:33:53,534
I had encouraged and helped sponsor

1367
01:33:54,003 --> 01:33:57,121
for a devoted group of
Kennedy campaign secretaries.

1368
01:33:57,966 --> 01:34:01,255
When I left the party around 11:15 p.m.,

1369
01:34:01,928 --> 01:34:03,965
I was accompanied by one of these girls,

1370
01:34:04,722 --> 01:34:06,429
Miss Mary Jo Kopechne.

1371
01:34:07,809 --> 01:34:10,267
Mary Jo was one of the most
devoted members of the staff

1372
01:34:10,353 --> 01:34:12,265
of Senator Robert Kennedy.

1373
01:34:12,564 --> 01:34:15,978
She worked for him for four years
and was broken up over his death.

1374
01:34:16,943 --> 01:34:21,563
For this reason and because she was
such a gentle, kind and idealistic person,

1375
01:34:22,407 --> 01:34:25,115
all of us tried to help her feel
that she still had a home

1376
01:34:25,201 --> 01:34:26,487
with the Kennedy family.

1377
01:34:27,370 --> 01:34:30,613
There is no truth, no truth whatever,

1378
01:34:31,291 --> 01:34:34,534
to the widely circulated
suspicions of immoral conduct

1379
01:34:34,627 --> 01:34:38,997
that have been leveled at my behavior
and hers regarding that evening.

1380
01:34:39,883 --> 01:34:41,795
I know nothing in Mary Jo's conduct

1381
01:34:42,302 --> 01:34:44,043
on that or any other occasion,

1382
01:34:44,387 --> 01:34:46,970
and the same is true for
the other girls at that party,

1383
01:34:47,849 --> 01:34:50,762
that would lend any substance
to such ugly speculation

1384
01:34:50,852 --> 01:34:52,559
about their character.

1385
01:34:53,646 --> 01:34:55,933
Nor was I driving under
the influence of liquor.

1386
01:34:57,567 --> 01:34:58,899
We should get back.

1387
01:34:58,985 --> 01:35:00,772
Little over a mile away,

1388
01:35:01,112 --> 01:35:03,024
the car that I was driving
on an unlit road

1389
01:35:03,615 --> 01:35:06,073
went off a narrow bridge
which had no guardrails

1390
01:35:06,659 --> 01:35:09,493
and was built on a left angle to the road.

1391
01:35:09,954 --> 01:35:11,991
The car overturned in a deep pond

1392
01:35:12,081 --> 01:35:13,788
and immediately filled with water.

1393
01:35:15,210 --> 01:35:18,294
I remember thinking, as the cold water
rushed in around my head,

1394
01:35:18,379 --> 01:35:21,122
that I was for certain drowning.

1395
01:35:21,466 --> 01:35:24,083
But somehow I struggled to surface alive.

1396
01:35:24,177 --> 01:35:26,885
Made immediate and repeated
efforts to save Mary Jo...

1397
01:35:26,971 --> 01:35:29,714
...succeeded only in increasing
my state of utter exhaustion.

1398
01:35:29,807 --> 01:35:33,141
My conduct during the next several hours

1399
01:35:33,228 --> 01:35:35,140
makes no sense to me at all.

1400
01:35:35,438 --> 01:35:39,682
My doctors informed me that I suffered
a cerebral concussion as well as shock.

1401
01:35:40,109 --> 01:35:42,647
I walked back to the cottage
where the party was being held

1402
01:35:42,737 --> 01:35:44,478
and requested the help of two friends,

1403
01:35:44,739 --> 01:35:46,901
my cousin Joseph Gargan and Paul Markham.

1404
01:35:46,991 --> 01:35:50,280
Their strenuous efforts
also proved futile.

1405
01:35:50,370 --> 01:35:52,202
I had them take me to the ferry crossing.

1406
01:35:52,288 --> 01:35:53,620
This was some time after midnight.

1407
01:35:53,706 --> 01:35:55,163
The ferry having shut down for the night,

1408
01:35:55,250 --> 01:35:56,707
I suddenly jumped into the water

1409
01:35:56,793 --> 01:35:59,080
and impulsively swam across,

1410
01:35:59,170 --> 01:36:02,288
nearly drowning once again in the effort.

1411
01:36:03,132 --> 01:36:04,964
I regard as indefensible

1412
01:36:05,343 --> 01:36:09,633
the fact that I did not report
the accident to the police immediately.

1413
01:36:12,350 --> 01:36:15,309
All kinds of scrambled thoughts
which I cannot recall,

1414
01:36:15,395 --> 01:36:17,682
some of them confused,
some of them irrational,

1415
01:36:17,772 --> 01:36:19,559
went through my mind.

1416
01:36:19,899 --> 01:36:22,892
I was overcome by a jumble of emotions.

1417
01:36:22,986 --> 01:36:25,899
Grief, fear, doubt,

1418
01:36:26,572 --> 01:36:29,656
exhaustion, panic, confusion.

1419
01:36:29,742 --> 01:36:32,280
I remember thinking, whether somehow

1420
01:36:32,370 --> 01:36:37,786
some awful curse did
actually hang over all the Kennedys.

1421
01:36:44,048 --> 01:36:46,335
These events, the publicity,

1422
01:36:46,426 --> 01:36:49,214
innuendo and whispers
which have surrounded them,

1423
01:36:49,846 --> 01:36:51,712
and my admission of guilt this morning,

1424
01:36:52,265 --> 01:36:54,507
raises the question in my mind

1425
01:36:55,143 --> 01:36:57,351
of whether my standing
among the people of my state

1426
01:36:57,437 --> 01:37:01,272
has been so impaired
that I should resign my seat

1427
01:37:01,733 --> 01:37:03,474
in the United States Senate.

1428
01:37:05,403 --> 01:37:09,397
The stories of past courage
cannot supply courage itself.

1429
01:37:10,074 --> 01:37:13,943
For this, each man must look
into his own soul.

1430
01:37:14,954 --> 01:37:19,449
And so I ask you tonight,
the people of Massachusetts,

1431
01:37:20,084 --> 01:37:21,620
to think this through with me.

1432
01:37:22,545 --> 01:37:25,754
In facing this decision,
I seek your advice and opinion.

1433
01:37:26,674 --> 01:37:29,087
In making it, I seek your prayers.

1434
01:37:30,219 --> 01:37:33,803
For this is a decision that I will finally
have to make on my own.

1435
01:37:37,477 --> 01:37:41,016
I pray that I can have the courage
to make the right decision.

1436
01:37:43,274 --> 01:37:44,515
Whatever is decided,

1437
01:37:45,318 --> 01:37:47,480
whatever the future holds for me,

1438
01:37:48,446 --> 01:37:54,989
I hope that I shall be able
to put this most recent tragedy behind me.

1439
01:37:59,707 --> 01:38:02,324
Thank you and good night.

1440
01:38:14,097 --> 01:38:16,510
What do you think about
Senator Kennedy's accident

1441
01:38:16,599 --> 01:38:18,261
and his statement last night?
Did you see it on television?

1442
01:38:18,351 --> 01:38:19,967
- Yes, I did see it.
- What did you think?

1443
01:38:20,061 --> 01:38:22,804
Well, I was quite impressed by it.

1444
01:38:22,897 --> 01:38:25,389
I think it's a tough break for the guy.
The guy's a good guy.

1445
01:38:25,483 --> 01:38:27,770
He tried to help the girl
and he's all mixed up.

1446
01:38:27,860 --> 01:38:29,647
He's always had tough breaks.
The family and everything.

1447
01:38:29,737 --> 01:38:30,568
I'm in favor of him.

1448
01:38:30,655 --> 01:38:34,023
Well, I feel if it was anybody else,
they would have hung him.

1449
01:38:34,117 --> 01:38:36,279
I think he should quit.
Quit his job right now.

1450
01:38:36,369 --> 01:38:39,237
Hell, if a guy's drinking,
those things can happen all the time.

1451
01:38:39,330 --> 01:38:40,821
What makes you think
he was drinking?

1452
01:38:41,290 --> 01:38:42,906
Well, you don't go to a party
and no drinking.

1453
01:38:43,000 --> 01:38:46,164
I mean, there's more to it than what we
know, I believe, you know?

1454
01:38:46,671 --> 01:38:48,253
But I actually would vote for him.

1455
01:38:48,339 --> 01:38:51,503
- Would you vote for him again?
- I certainly would. Definitely.

1456
01:38:51,592 --> 01:38:53,925
There's a lot of things missing
that I didn't understand.

1457
01:38:54,011 --> 01:38:56,344
But, like, as the story progressed,
you know,

1458
01:38:56,431 --> 01:38:59,390
you hear different versions
and you make your own opinions.

1459
01:39:00,101 --> 01:39:01,558
What was your final opinion?

1460
01:39:02,645 --> 01:39:06,434
That he really was, you know...
He didn't remember what he really did.

1461
01:39:06,524 --> 01:39:07,810
That he's telling the truth.

1462
01:39:07,900 --> 01:39:10,483
Would you vote for him?
Do you think he should be the president?

1463
01:39:11,320 --> 01:39:13,277
Oh, I'm not qualified to say that.
I really don't know.

1464
01:39:13,364 --> 01:39:14,855
I think I would vote for him, though.

1465
01:39:14,949 --> 01:39:16,190
Would you vote for him again?

1466
01:39:16,284 --> 01:39:17,991
- Yes, I really would.
- Certainly.

1467
01:39:18,077 --> 01:39:19,784
- I believe him.
- 1,0a1% behind him.

1468
01:39:19,871 --> 01:39:22,488
Ted has done a tremendous job.
I hope he stays a United States senator.

1469
01:39:22,582 --> 01:39:24,665
- Would you vote for him?
- I certainly would.

1470
01:39:29,422 --> 01:39:33,587
There is a new wave
of change all around us.

1471
01:39:34,051 --> 01:39:36,668
And if we set our compass true,

1472
01:39:37,180 --> 01:39:40,344
we will reach our destination.

1473
01:39:41,392 --> 01:39:43,975
The work begins anew.

1474
01:39:44,937 --> 01:39:47,395
The hope rises again

1475
01:39:47,899 --> 01:39:50,232
and the dream lives on.

1476
01:40:01,120 --> 01:40:03,703
Teddy! Teddy! Teddy!
