1 00: 00: 03,989 -> 00: 00: 11,506
Ny. Kennedy?
They told me to come.
And I'm sorry.
Have you heard about what they wrote?
Krock and Merriman and others?
Yes, already.
Merriman people who are less heartless.
Just one week.
They have treated it like dusty ancient objects,
... which must be museumed.
That is not an appropriate way to be remembered.
And what kind of person do you want him to be remembered, Mrs. Kennedy?
I...
Do you understand that I will edit this conversation?
In case I say something I don't mean.
With all due respect,
... looks like it's impossible, Mrs. Kennedy.
Right. OK...
So, this is your version of from that incident?
Exactly.
Enter it.
I thought it was a muffler sound.
I almost didn't leave. What if at that time I was here...
... or drive in a place in Virginia?
Thank God, I'm with him.
Why, "thank you"?
Do you know what I think about history?
About history?
I read a lot. More than people realize.
The more I read, the more I was surprised...
... when something is written,
... does that make it right?
That's all we have.
Formerly.
Now we have a television.
At least people can see with their own eyes.
The White House tour...
... what you did for 2 years for CBS,
... I always assume that you do it to...
... a purpose? For fashion magazines?
You even got an Emmy Cup.
I don't do it for myself.
I do it for the American people.
The program is a glance at myself...
... against the White House,
... and whatever that is, I think your is very extraordinary.
Very graceful. / Why, thank you.
I'm sure you can have a career as an announcer.
What?
Sorry?
What do you say?
I said you could have a career...
... career as a broadcaster.
Are you giving me professional advice?
I guess...
... no.
But I'm sure that Americans want to know...
... what you will do next.
I make sure to you, not television.
Welcome to the White House.
We are very proud to call it home.
What if, "People's House"?
Sounds more personal.
Welcome to the People's House.
We are very proud to call it home.
Better?
When will Jack come?
They want to hear from you.
They think I'm stupid.
One year in the White House, I waste their money.
That is why you have to show them what you have done.
The President will join in the Monroe Room...
... at the end of the tour.
Your appearance will be amazing.
Stay closer. / Certain.
You look beautiful. Go.
Hello. Excuse me.
This is the White House...
... looks from the South Page.
For 1 hour ahead, Ny. John F. Kennedy...
... invite you to visit the residence of the President...
... and see some restoration...
... what he did in the interior.
Ny. John F. Kennedy,
... the third youngest of the 29 wives of presidents who have lived in the White House.
Ny. Kennedy, I thank you...
... has allowed us to visit your official home.
This is obviously the room...
... where your work is applied.
Yes, the attic and ceiling merge.
Since this work started,
... we receive hundreds of letters every day.
This is where we evaluate all inventions,
... and make a decision,
... if all that suits with our budget.
Ny. Kennedy, every First Lady...
... and every president since the time of President Madison,
... has made a change,
... a little more, in the White House.
Before we see the changes you made,
... what is your basic plan?
I really don't have that.
Because I think this house will always grow, and that's how it should be.
For me, it's a shame...
... when I first came here...
... almost nothing anything from the past.
Almost anything before 1902.
Let's just say you and your committee...
... will get back some items...
... ever in this room,
... what will happen if the wife of the next president...
... come to the White House?
If they don't want it...
... in the past...
... they can sell it or throw it away.
And the matter of accusations of public money being squandered?
I raise funds personally...
... to do the restoration.
I really like that house,
... and I want to share with the American people.
To convey the message about the greatness of America.
Objects and artifacts...
... last longer than humans,
... and they represent important ideas in history,
... identity, beauty.
But I'm sure, readers want to know...
... how does it feel to be your family member?
Imagine a boy surrounded by all this.
Then her brother died on the battlefield,
... then he also walked the same war...
... and go home as a hero.
People see the boy,
... destined for prosperity and privilege,
... willing to sacrifice everything for his dreams...
... in his dedication to his people.
Royal family. You describe it as if he were a royal family.
For the royal family, you need tradition.
And for tradition, you need time.
I think it should start from somewhere, right?
There must be the first day.
This is the East Room,
... just like the American people know for 60 years.
It is clear that you don't feel...
... must make a big change here.
No, I think this room is amazing.
I hate making changes, really,
... so when you find a room like this,
... this is awesome. This...
This piano makes us remember...
... that this is part from the White House...
... where do you hold music shows.
Right. This piano was designed by Franklin Roosevelt...
... with his eagle piano legs.
And this is the end of the room...
... where Pablo Casals plays piano for us,
... where we put the moving stage,
... when we invite Shakespeare players.
Ny. Kennedy, this government...
... has shown tendency towards...
... artists, musicians, writers, writers...
Is this because you and your husband...
... does feel that way,
... or do you think there is a relationship...
... between government and art?
That's very complicated.
I... I don't know.
I just thought that everything...
... those in the White House must be the best.
And if it is American company...
... which can be helped, I will do it.
If not... While it's the best.
Are your beliefs helpful?
I prefer to discuss my confidence with the pastor.
You're not a religious type, aren't you?
No.
I just want the truth.
That's the reporter's job. / Oh, really.
I'm used to crossing...
... between what people believe and what I know as reality.
OK. I will write a story that is more reliable.
So much better.
You know, I used to be a reporter.
I know what you're looking for.
Sorry?
Stories of events.
You came here for that, right?
You want me to describe the sound of bullets...
... when the bullet hit _ my husband's skull.
I'm very happy...
... being in the State of Texas great,
... with you...
... and feel...
... noble Spanish tradition...
... which has got a lot of achievements in Dallas.
This tradition...
... starting 100 years...
... before the colonization of Massachusetts,
... the state of my husband.
All that is tradition...
... who is alive and strong.
What is the sound of birds?
Precisely not birds.
Surely the ocean.
Are you ready? / Of course.
I like crowds.
You remember Governor and Mrs. Connally.
Welcome to Dallas, honey.
Thank you very much for coming.
Nice to meet you.
Gosh! A great welcome!
It must be the biggest motorcade from the airport.
Hot, wild, like Mexico or Vienna.
The sun is blazing on our faces,
... but I can't use my black glasses.
Jack waved his hand,
... and I saw a piece of skull bouncing.
And the color is like meat, not white.
And he collapsed on my lap.
Blood and brain in my lap.
And I said, "Jack..."
"Jack, can you hear me?"
"Jack! I told you, Jack!"
And his head is very beautiful,
... and the mouth is very beautiful, and his eyes are open.
I try to keep hugging the top of his head.
Maintain everything.
His face is decorated the most beautiful look,
... do you know?
Right before they ask him,
... just before he answered,
... he seemed surprised.
At that time I knew he was dead.
Ny. Kennedy...
Don't try thinking...
... that I will let you publish it.
Do you understand?
Yes. Yes, of course.
Yes, I understand.
What is the sound of the bullet?
Ny. Kennedy?
Are you okay? This is Larry.
I will be ready soon.
Please, no need to rush.
Are they waiting?
"I swear..."
I swear...
"... that I will run..."
... that I will run...
"... government as President of the United States."
... government as President of the United States.
"And do the best according to my ability..."
And do the best according to my ability...
"... guarding, protecting..." / ... guarding, protecting...
"... and maintain..." / ... and maintain...
"... United States Constitution."
... United States Constitution.
"So, help me, Lord."
So, help me, Lord.
Mr. President.
Turn on the engine.
Let's go. thanks.
Can you say what size is the bullet?
I don't think it's 38, right?
It seems...
What is the name? Caliber?
It seems bigger.
Looks like what the army used,
... or used by for deer hunting.
Ny. Kennedy, you don't need to...
We don't know yet.
We have to invite Irish cadets.
Sorry?
Yes. Irish Cadets, for funerals.
Jack likes it. He saw them appear in Dublin last summer.
Sure, Mrs. Kennedy. We will confirm it.
And also the big pipe players from Scotland we have invited.
What is his name, Kenny?
The Black Watch.
Correct.
The Black Watch Pipers.
When we arrive, we will exit from the back of the plane.
You, President, President Johnson.
Why is it behind?
There are reporters at Andrew.
Not to mention security risks.
Do I have to hide? Now?
Not hiding.
Oh, I'm sure they will like it.
What do they call themselves, The Birch Society?
No, I won't sneak through the back door.
I will come out as usual. We all.
I will prepare.
When we land, Mrs. Kennedy,
... we have to go straight...
... to the hospital for autopsy.
Autopsy?
Is that necessary?
Unfortunately it is required.
By whom?
Law, Mrs. Kennedy.
And what will they do exactly?
I don't know...
What does autopsy mean? I want you to explain to me.
I want to hear all the details.
I am his wife... Whatever I am right now.
I want all the details.
Will they dissect it?
Honey.
May I send someone to help you change clothes...
... before we land?
All cameras.
People will see.
They want posters everywhere.
For Jack.
With Jack's face on the poster.
Let them see what they have done.
Jackie?
Bobby.
Sir,
... there is a car waiting in the hangar...
... to bring you and Mrs. Kennedy to Bethesda.
Ny. Kennedy and I will go...
... with a coffin with an ambulance.
Valenti wants to know...
... how to handle about how to get out.
How to get out?
He said Johnson wanted to talk to the press.
We can do whatever he wants. We leave now.
The coffin will be closed, right?
At the funeral?
We will discuss it later.
I really want the cage closed, Bobby.
I'm not sure it can for a head of state.
There is blood everywhere.
There are lots of splinters.
Jackie...
I tried to hold his head.
Hey!
Slow down.
The President is lying motionless in the car.
Ny. Kennedy leaned towards him.
Governor Connally leaned into his chair,
... holding his stomach with his hands.
In the emergency room,
... the witnesses said the First Lady, was covered in blood,
... wait silently in silence.
Jackie, Jackie...
Come on.
Make sure they make it look like him.
I know.
Where are the children?
They are with Maud.
He took them home in Georgetown.
I prefer them to be at home.
Their routines should not be interrupted.
Yes, yes. Certain. Mary...
I will try. / What did they know?
... can't be considered.
For me, it's like...
You need to rest.
I think he needs water.
Thank you, Nancy.
Surely the culprit is a stupid communist .
If he is killed because of civil rights,
... then at least it will mean something.
Do you know?
Jack has warned me.
Jack says, we will go to a crazy country,
... but I think everything will be fine.
In Fort Worth. In Houston. / I know.
I keep going... All problems Adlai...
Jack managed to win his heart. / I know.
They... they gave me yellow roses.
Yellow Roses. At every stop.
Then in Dallas... / I know.
Let's turn this off.
They want to see sorrow.
They have asked about funeral events.
Honey. Come on.
President Johnson meets with the Minister of Home Affairs, Rusk.
A few minutes later, suddenly...
... there is a meeting with Defense Minister McNamara.
Even in the atmosphere of mourning,
... the rigors of the Cold War...
... does not allow exceptions....
... on defense issues and abroad.
It seems almost doubtful that McNamara...
... will continue to serve at the time of Mr. Johnson.
The new president...
Lyndon's people claim.
I want him to take an oath in Dallas.
Damn it doesn't want to wait,
... and now they blame me for it.
Excuse me.
Do you know who James Garfield is?
No, Mom.
Do you know who William McKinley is?
What does he do?
They are both American presidents...
... who was killed while serving.
And what about Abraham Lincoln?
Do you know what he is doing?
He won the Civil War.
He removes slavery, ma'am.
That's right.
Thank you.
Bobby, please tell them I want books about Lincoln.
Regarding the funeral.
In the end, you have to divide something personal.
People won't stop ask until you share it.
And if I don't want to, they will interpret my silence...
... all they want?
"The eyebrows are long and thick."
"His lips are closed."
"He held back his tears, but he couldn't hide his anger."
Most writers want to be famous.
Do you want to be famous?
No, I'm grateful for what it is, thank you.
You have to be prepared,
... this article will take a lot of attention.
About that, is there a suggestion for me?
Yes.
Don't marry the President.
Are you afraid I will cry again?
No, I think you're more likely to scream.
What is it?
"My husband is a great person."
Lincoln funeral procession...
... departing from the White House,
... over the Pennsylvania Highway...
... towards the Capitol.
And the next day...
... back to the White House,
... then they walked to St. Matthews...
.... in a motorcade that is long and big.
It's a sunny day in spring.
Only 600 tickets are provided,
... but thousands,
... thousands of people crowded the streets and the top of the building,
... city residents, senators, board members,
... diplomat, officer,
... everything is fully clothed.
Lincoln Horse, Old Bob,
... covered in black cloth with white lines and tassel.
With his head closed, he is haunted without a rider,
... the head of the motorcade along the mile...
... is Rev. Henry Brown.
I can feel Jack will be angry with all of this.
"Good, you spend all that money..."
"... with all that stupid stuff."
He will issue any to get a vote,
... but balks at buying beautiful paintings.
We no longer need to worry about that.
We must do this correctly, Bill.
We must do this correctly.
The funeral must be beautiful.
Did you tell them we need a horse-drawn carriage?
We have to walk with Jack.
Everyone.
Large and beautiful motorcade that everyone will remember.
Ny. Kennedy, You don't have to do this.
Do what?
I guess they won't let you parade along the road.
The world has gone crazy.
You have to take your children and disappear.
Build a fort in Boston and never look back.
Ny. Kennedy?
Are children still awake?
They play in Caroline's room.
How do I do this?
Oh dear.
It doesn't matter what you say.
Just hug them and say that everything will be fine.
Mother, why is Mom's clothes so cute?
Because something very _ sad happened.
And this is how we dress when something sad happens.
Mother, where are you?
Daddy can't go home.
Why not?
I have to go see your baby brother Patrick.
In heaven.
Why?
Because you are here with you.
We don't want Patrick alone, right?
But what about us?
Caroline, I want you to be a tough girl.
You can be brave, right? Can you become a soldier?
Someone who is very evil hurts Daddy.
Daddy will go home if only he can.
But he can't.
He must go to heaven.
Can I say goodbye?
Yes, of course, honey.
Let your ears hear...
... my cry will be forgiveness.
O Lord, if you record sins,
Oh my God, who will survive?
But with you there is forgiveness,
... therefore you are feared.
I am waiting for God, my soul is waiting,
... and in His word I put my hopes in hope.
My soul is waiting for God...
... more than supervisors wait for morning.
O Israel, put your hope in God,
... because on His side there is love that never disappoints.
Beautiful Mass.
Excuse me, Mother. Jackie.
Have you prepared a list of guests for funerals?
What?
You have to prepare it, honey.
We can't possibly accommodate all these people in Brookline.
Mr. Kennedy, we need to discuss about the funeral, sir.
We want to follow the instructions,
... but we don't know much about this Oswald.
There may be other conspirators.
I will talk to him, but he decides.
Then there is also a problem about the Oval Room.
What do you want me to do? Which one is first?
Plan funeral or pack furniture?
I know all this is very sensitive.
That's why I approach you.
But the motorcade was a crazy idea.
Brookline?
Land of family funeral.
I think Jack will be buried with his family.
Crowd full of people, weigh what has happened,
... I can't let my President run.
Your President? / My President.
Whatever happens,
my brother will be brought in a chest.
And I'm sorry, sir.
Get out, Jack.
Averell Harriman has at least 4 properties in Georgetown.
I'm sure he can rent one of them.
I will ask Sarge to look for it.
I'm sure we have time.
They can't expect us to move immediately, right?
Of course not. Do not be stupid.
Widow Lincoln dies poor.
He returned to Illinois,
... forced to sell all the furniture.
Then the Van Buren and Tyler families too.
He melts it, one by one,
... just to have a place to take shelter.
But that won't happen to you.
And collectors where we bought it...
Remember? Bill and me,
... we have to bid for every sofa and chair.
If I sell a few of them now,
... maybe I can school John and Caroline.
These stairs go to the second floor,
... which I know is used for...
... personal life of the president and his family.
I guess none of the television cameras...
... or the camera moves ever go up there,
... because that's where you live.
That's right.
This is what the White House did to President Lincoln.
This is how he changed.
1861.
Strong men with curved eyebrows.
1865.
One week before his murder.
Ny. Kennedy, do you spend a lot of time...
... in the Lincoln Room?
We stayed in that room when we came here,
... when our room is at the end of this hall...
... being painted.
This is a comfortable room.
Is this bedroom from Lincoln's time?
No, but the Lincoln Clothing Room.
Are all the furniture...
... from Lincoln's time?
Yes.
The most famous, of course, Lincoln bed.
What was bought by Mrs. Lincoln,
... with a wardrobe,
... these benches and tables.
He bought lots of furniture for this house,
... which makes her husband a little angry,
... because he thinks his wife spends a lot of money.
And the one at the desk is Address Gettysburg.
Maybe this is the biggest legacy in this room.
And this sofa and two chairs,
... sold at the time of sale Lincoln tools...
... I just talked about,
... sold by Mrs. Lincoln.
Then they go to England,
... and through her descendants this item is brought back here.
Here it is, here it is.
Bobby?
And he came down the hall once more.
I really don't know what this situation is about.
Nobody told me anything, unless I was accused...
I don't mean to make your mother upset,
... but Brookline is not an appropriate place to bury the president.
Did you kill the President?
No, I'm not sued for that.
In fact, no one told me.
The first time I heard that when...
... newspaper reporters in the hall...
Welcome to Arlington, Ny. Kennedy.
Thank you.
The third option is there,
... at the base of the hill.
That's too low.
What do you think, Ken?
I like Dewey Circle,
... if we can get rid of the leaves are on time.
The problem there is not just leaves.
But access roads.
There will be 10 thousand people here.
Well, that is what I mean.
Jackie?
Jackie.
Hey.
Where are we?
He cannot be buried in any place.
He is entitled to more than that.
Careful.
Are you okay?
My shoes are stuck in the mud.
I think maybe you should talk to the pastor.
Maybe.
Bobby, I want to talk to the press.
No.
No. Let Dave handle the problem.
That first night Bob McNamara said...
... he will buy back our house for us in Georgetown.
I don't even have anything. I...
I don't have anything.
I don't even have a home.
What about this house?
This? It is very cold here.
You can light a fireplace, invite people to come.
The party you held in the White House,
... no one has ever seen a party like that.
A personal concert with artists, friends, drinking champagne...
... and singing...
You suggest me to have a party?
No, obviously not now. But not.
I just said that you have...
That you have brought life to a cold house before.
This house is not mine.
And this is also not. None has ever been mine.
Not my property.
Leaving the house must be very difficult.
A First Lady must always be ready to pack her luggage.
That is inevitable.
We have found beds almost for all family members.
Truman family at Blair House.
There is a little problem with he doesn't have a driver,
... but Ike offers the driver.
We find lodging.
Lyndon just wants to move to the Oval Room.
He wants to talk to Congress.
I will try to keep it as long as possible,
... but that must happen sooner or later.
They are worried about outside motorcade.
They think it's a security risk.
Jackie.
They think it's a security risk.
Everyone is afraid.
Even the State does not recommend...
... foreign representatives to attend.
The distance is 8 blocks to St. Matthews.
It's a long journey in a crowd.
All the buildings. All windows.
Bobby, this is our last chance.
We must walk with it.
That's right, that's right!
The king has confirmed...
The climate must be perfect...
Throughout the year...
The law was made months ago _ here...
July and August is not may be too hot...
And there are legal restrictions about snow here...
On Camelot...
Forbidden winter before December...
And ends on the second day of March...
Being ordered, summer will last until September.
On Camelot...
Camelot, Camelot...
I know that sounds a little weird...
But on Camelot...
Camelot...
That's how it is...
Rain may never go down before sunset...
8 o'clock in the morning, morning mist must disappear...
In short, there is no place that is more fun...
... to be happy forever...
... than on Camelot...
Camelot, Camelot...
I know it makes people pause...
But on Camelot...
Camelot...
That's the law that is legal...
Snow may never be landslide to the edge of the hill...
9 o'clock at night, moonlight must appear...
In short, there is no place that is more fun...
... to be happy forever...
... than on Camelot...
How do you write it?
"He turned on his cigarette again..."
"... and explain in between the stuck sobs..."
"... that Jack isn't perfect,"
"... but he's perfect for this country."
"And I ask about the shortcomings,"
"... and Mrs. Kennedy explained..."
Perfect people can't change.
Jack is always getting better,
... stronger.
Sometimes he will walk towards the desert alone,
... just to let himself be tempted by the devil.
But he always returns to us,
... his beloved family.
And I don't smoke.
I shouldn't say these things.
That is why we are here, right?
To talk about about what happened?
Is this a confession?
Only if there is something that you regret.
Everyone knows my story.
God is not interested in stories.
He is interested in the truth.
I am here to seek sympathy, Father.
Sure.
Father, are you listening?
I listen.
Yes, I think so.
I think God is cruel.
Well, now you're in trouble.
God is love.
And God is everywhere.
Is he on the bullet that killed Jack?
Of course.
Is he inside of me now?
Yes, of course.
Funny game He plays.
Hide at any time.
The fact that we don't understand Him...
... it's not funny at all.
If heaven exists, then there is your God,
... with all the empty promises.
What kind of God takes away a father...
... from two young children?
Your God sacrifices son the only one...
And my two children.
Arabella who is still in the womb.
Then Patrick. Thirty-nine hours on Earth.
Sufficient time for makes me love him.
What have I done so that I deserve it?
None.
Jack and I very rarely spend the night together.
Even on the last night in Fort Worth.
Your husband loves you, Mrs. Kennedy. I'm sure of that.
I seem to remember that there are more on our promises than that.
Don't look at me like that.
I am the First Lady of the United States.
Women have borne things far worse for things that are more worthless.
There are 2 types of women.
Those who want power in the world,
... and those who want power in bed.
Of course, what do I get now?
When men see me now, what do you think they will feel?
Sadness.
Affection.
Lust, maybe.
You're still a young woman, Mrs. Kennedy.
I used to make them smile.
No one understands the pain that he endured...
... and how loyal he is.
It's just that some of his friends are very rude.
Jack of course not.
But he can get stuck in it.
But still, he's a great father.
I imagine he is in a chair shake in his office.
Caroline and John are at her feet.
How can I hate it?
Make those memories make you comfortable.
I can't.
Memories are mixed with other memories.
Do you have the latest list from the Department of Foreign Affairs?
State representatives who will attend the funeral.
Oh yeah. This is it.
General de Gaulle.
Prince Phillip.
Even the Soviet Foreign Minister.
More than we expected?
Oh yeah.
There are dozens of names.
Good.
Can you read to me?
Yes.
From the UN...
... there is Paul Hoffman, President Director,
... David B. Vaughan.
King of Belgium.
Denmark, Crown Prince, Prince George.
Bulgaria, Deputy Foreign Minister.
Canada, Prime Minister,
... Lester B. Pearson.
Austria, Chancellor.
I don't know.
I think you should try it without it.
We have been together for a long time, yes, Nancy?
Mmm-hmm. Yes.
I used to worry you would envy me.
Oh, right.
No, you never do anything that makes me feel that way.
But I'm worried. After I married Jack.
After he wins the election.
Now that looks ridiculous,
... everyone... everyone is jealous of me.
I have buried two children,
... and now I bury my husband.
You know, I've been jealous.
When you wear the dress in Vienna.
I know it's hard to see it now,
... but you still have a long life stretching in front of you.
That's a bad thing to say.
But that's right!
That's a very, very bad thing to say.
But that's true.
I'm sorry.
What will you do now?
I will stay with you.
You won't go anywhere?
No, I'm not going anywhere.
I have no place that I can go to.
Children are very lucky have you.
No, they are not lucky at all.
They are not lucky.
I'm afraid, Nancy, I'm afraid, I'm afraid...
I know.
At Capitol,
... where the body of President will be laid...
... for a day...
... after being taken from the White House,
... there will be 3 short speeches or...
He will come down soon. Soon.
... allowed to see his body.
Towards Dallas, Texas, and Tom Pettit.
The inmate.
That is Lee Oswald.
He was shot. He was shot.
Lee Oswald has been shot.
There are armed men. / Gosh.
Are you ready to go?
Yes.
Will you look at you?
Mother, is my birthday today?
Not yet, honey.
But why am I wearing party clothes?
Special Agent Hill.
Whenever Ny. Kennedy is ready.
Oh, Clint.
We are almost done.
It feels weird.
I hardly remember anything after that.
But I read in the paper about what you did,
... and I just want to thank you.
We must control this situation.
We must be involved. / Good, Sir.
This makes us like a bunch of damned barbarians.
Ny. Kennedy was descending the stairs with his children.
Turn off the television!
You can't say anything about this.
Understand? I will say to Jackie if the time is right.
Sit down.
Sorry?
Sit down.
honey?
What do you remember? Will you tell me everything?
I need to hear it.
Ny. Kennedy...
I was 10 yards behind when I heard the shot.
And when my eyes are fixed on the President's car...
Ny. Kennedy...
Continue.
I have to get to your place immediately, put myself between you,
... The president and the shooter.
Who is he?
What is Oswald?
They think so.
I need to talk to him.
I... I'm not sure about that, Mrs. Kennedy.
Children are ready.
Should I take them down with Maud?
I want them to go with me.
But reporters are ahead...
Their father left this house for the last time.
They must be there to say goodbye to him.
But those cameras...
The images are broadcast...
... to all corners of the world.
The pictures must be recording the truth.
Two poor uneducated children are part of that.
You can tell them, I'm ready to go,
... with Caroline and John.
Good, Mrs. Kennedy.
Nancy? / Yes?
I am no longer the First Lady.
You can call me Jackie.
OK.
Caroline, are you ready, honey?
My brave girl.
Oh, John, John, John.
Let me carry you, son.
I respect my privacy.
Always.
But, the next day,
... right after that, something seems to change.
How do you change?
Before the funeral,
... on the day you move the casket to the Capitol,
... your children seem clear...
... seen by the world.
So, you mean...
... I use them?
Oh no, of course not. I just...
Raise weapons!
I'm just curious if you ever...
... consider doing more things to protect them.
I think most people will...
We are not ordinary people.
Most people don't have to make a decision like that,
... a few hours after seeing her husband was killed...
... next to it.
Oh, Lyndon.
What a bad way to start your presidency.
What do you mean by that an error?
No, of course not.
How dare you!
They killed him in prison.
These people can reach anyone.
How dare you keep it a secret from me!
You have no rights! / I'm not, I'm not...
Children?
I take them from the front door.
Are you... / It's all crazy!
You and your brother.
Over the years, all your secrets!
That's not fair. / Caroline and John, only those I have,
... and I harm them because of you.
I will never make you in danger.
You don't know that!
You think you control everything,
... and think the world is under your control.
And you are very ridiculous. And I let myself believe that!
And this parade? Who is that for?
For Jack?
Another stop campaign before going to the grave?
Lyndon's people are right.
This is not worth it.
This is not commensurate with endangering people's lives.
Tell them we cancel it.
We will use motorcade vehicles to the Cathedral.
Behind the road.
Then we bury it, and we end all this.
I don't care anymore.
I don't care.
I will never make you and children in danger.
I know you think I'm just a stupid new rich man.
Listen. You don't need to protect me.
I will never make you and children in danger.
You don't know anything.
I wake up at night, and I can only think...
... I should be a girl shopkeeper...
... or a stenographer.
I should marry ordinary, lazy and ugly man.
Let me share with you a parable.
Jesus...
... ever passed a blind beggar on the road,
... then the student asks, "Who sinned,"
"... this person or his parents, so he must be born blind?"
And Jesus said,
"None of them sinners."
"He was born blind..."
"... so that God's work can be shown to him."
And in that way, he put mud in the person's eyes,
... and told him to wash it in the Siloam Pond.
And that person does it, and he can see.
Right now you're blind.
Not because you sinned,
... but because you have been chosen.
So that the work of God can be shown through you.
This is perfect.
We install it while you are not here.
I think this will be a pleasant surprise...
... for you and the President.
This changes everything.
And Meeting Room?
Dark green.
Exactly as you imagine.
I hope Jack...
Who knows he will care?
I lost track, somewhere...
What is real.
What are the plays.
Well, he's the president.
You're right.
I won't run tomorrow.
I will not harm people for the sake of my pride.
I'm very worried about you. Still.
But I never thought it was prestige.
You know, that's what Jack calls all this.
When he sees everything our expenses, he says...
"Small project your pride..."
"... will make the federal government go bankrupt."
People need their history.
That gives them strength.
They need to know that a real man has actually lived here.
Not ghosts or even characters of story books,
... but people who face difficulties and overcome them.
What you do in this house is important.
You're very nice, Bill.
Even I started losing him.
Sooner or later...
... he will become a watercolor painting...
... which decorates the hallway.
Happy birthday...
Happy birthday, dear John.
I talked to Johnson.
Tomorrow...
It is being handled.
Everyone will drive.
There is no motorcade.
I'm sorry, Bobby.
Do you think Lincoln's widow knows?
What?
That we build a monument for her husband?
Why is this room so peaceful?
"Peace"? I have no idea.
Every time I pass this room,
I remember that January 1, 1863,
... an ordinary man signs a document...
... which frees 4 million people from slavery.
So,
... I don't feel this place is not as peaceful...
... a very historic place.
And unfortunately our time is just wasted.
Bobby!
What?
Bobby, keep your words.
What have we achieved, huh?
We are just... are we just beautiful people?
Right? Isn't that us?
Bobby. / Because of what we...
What are we really achieving?
Maybe Jack will be remembered...
... how to address the missile crisis,
... or he will be remembered...
... because it has created a crisis...
... then he is forced to finish it.
We should be able to do a lot.
Civil rights, space program.
Vietnam. Now, Johnson has to deal with Vietnam.
We prepare it for him.
He just needs to solve it.
I shouldn't have pressed it too hard on Castro.
You can't do that, Bobby.
What's wrong with you?
What's wrong with me?
History is hard.
There is no time.
We are really ridiculous. Look at you.
I'm sorry.
Do you like your new office?
Ny. Kennedy.
Please enter.
Sorry, I only did my assignment, Mom.
Of course.
I remember when we won the election.
We are very overwhelmed.
We are fine.
Now everyone's thoughts are directed at you.
Oh, you're very kind.
I came to discuss about tomorrow.
The Attorney General delivered me to your wishes...
... for a simple ceremony.
I change my mind.
Sorry?
I said I changed my mind.
We will have a motorcade,
... and I will walk to the Cathedral...
... with a casket.
Even though we can continue the preparation,
... I'm sure you can understand...
... the presidential guard is still have concerns.
And President Johnson?
President Johnson just wants...
... fulfill your wishes,
... but I must consider his safety.
This country cannot bear other attacks...
... if if...
That's not the same.
If it's up to him,
... he will do anything that makes you comfortable.
Then it's up to whom, Mr. Valenti?
I'm sure you know,
... tomorrow there will be almost 100 heads of state.
One hundred and three.
Yes, I'm sure it's true.
And I suspect they have made their own decisions.
Based on what?
There is an element of secret intelligence which is quite large...
... which I can't discuss.
We have intercepted the threat against General de Gaulle...
... from our assets in Geneva.
I'm worried if he refuses to walk, the other will follow.
I understand.
As I said, Mrs. Kennedy,
... I hope we can do something...
... to fulfill your wishes.
I'm really sorry.
Don't.
You and the Johnson family have done a lot.
Good afternoon, Mrs. Kennedy.
Mr. Valenti.
Will you deliver a message...
... to all funeral guests when they land?
Sure.
Tell them that I will walk with Jack tomorrow.
Alone, if necessary.
And say to General de Gaulle...
... if he wants to drive with bulletproof cars...
... or even with a tank,
... I won't blame him.
And I'm sure tens of millions of people...
... those who watch won't blame it too.
Why are you doing this, Mrs. Kennedy?
Oh, I just did my job.
Do you want to write it down?
Do you think it's better? / I...
Yes.
We will continue to live long after we die.
The president will come in turn,
... and each of them ...
... will look at Jack as a guide,
... for inspiration.
What would you say to those who said he didn't deserve it?
Comparison. I mean, he's a great president,
... but he didn't win Civil War, for example.
That is a funeral...
... for the President of the United States.
Your husband drives a car, he doesn't ride a horse.
Yes, and there should be more.
There should be more horses,
... more soldiers, more lots of crying, more cameras!
I guess you won't allow me to write these things.
No,
... because I never said it.
Maybe Jack doesn't have the time to defeat Communism ... but I really remember...
With all due respect,
... You are indeed the center of all of these, Mrs. Kennedy,
... and I imagine, it's impossible...
... to get a point of view from that privileged position.
But I make sure to you, it really takes attention.
Nancy says they want to share my dukacit,
... so I let them.
But after that, I realized, all beauty,
... all the demands I made in his honor,
... it's not for Jack or his good name.
But for me.
I wrote a letter for him.
That night, before we moved the coffin to the Capitol.
Do you know what I'm writing?
That I want to die.
I understand. / Is it true?
Yes.
Unless you ask permission from me.
No, only a rude and selfish person who kills himself.
No, I just hope if I walk...
... along the road beside Jack's body,
... maybe someone will be generous enough to do it for me.
Before the whole world?
Famous life, famous death.
I never want to be famous.
I just became a member of the Kennedy family.
I told everyone that I don't remember.
That's not true.
I can remember.
I can remember everything.
First bullet. Dor.
Then bang.
I should be able to save him.
I should know that it's a gunshot.
I should protect it.
I'm trying to stop bleeding,
... but when I arrived at the hospital...
That night, and every night since then,
... I pray that I die.
Doesn't God please leave me with my husband?
Can I see it?
That's new... It hasn't...
You don't write too neatly, huh?
You leave your mark on this country, Mrs. Kennedy.
The last few days, it's the headline.
Losing the president... like losing a father.
And you are a mother to all of us,
... and that is a very good story.
The whole country watches the funeral,
... from beginning to end.
Tens of years from now,
... people will remember your honor and their greatness.
They will remember you.
That will be purposeful.
My husband leads many meetings up here,
... in this part of the house.
All people waiting for him sit in the hallway
... with baby carriages are next to them.
So they can sit here...
... and gather around this table , waiting for him.
He will come in soon...
Mr. President.
Mistress...
Mr. Collingwood.
Ny. Kennedy has shown us ...
... about the White House...
What do you think about the changes made?
I think the big effort that he is doing is to...
... makes us closer...
... with all the people who have lived here.
Sure, anyone who has ever...
... come to the White House as president...
... want the best for the country.
But I guess he really gets stimulation from knowledge...
... by living near people...
... the legendary...
... but the real ones are still alive and have been in these rooms.
Thank you.
Everything will be stored in the warehouse...
... until you decide where to stay.
One more thing.
This is more important than others.
You know, every night, before going to bed,
... we play Victrola.
We listen to some recordings.
His favorite is Camelot.
Musical version?
Oh, I'm so embarrassed.
Every quote that comes out from Jack's mouth...
... is from Greek or Roman.
And the last song, the last side of Camelot,
... only that continues to ring in my mind.
"Don't be forgotten,"
"... that for a short time and shine, there is Camelot."
Jack really likes history.
That is what makes him the present.
Just imagine, he's a boy...
... affected by scarlet fever lying in bed,
... reading history.
King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.
That's the essence of Camelot.
Ordinary people gather to fight for a better world.
Don't get me wrong.
Jack is not naive.
But he has goals.
The ideals that he can make other people believe.
Will those dreams continue?
Of course.
Of course, there will be big progress.
There will be other great presidents.
The Johnson family has been very kind to me.
But there's no other Camelot.
Not another Camelot.
What is your real goal here?
Because I need to talk.
You said that every night you pray to die.
That your children is not useful to you.
You just want to be with your husband.
But, I didn't bury you today.
There are times in the search for human meaning,
... when someone realizes...
... that there is no answer.
And when you realize the reality that is frightening and inevitable...
... you receive it or you kill yourself.
Or stop searching.
I have lived a blessed life.
However, every night, when I'm in bed,
... I turn off the lights, and I look at darkness,
I'm surprised...
Is this all?
Are you surprised?
All souls on this planet are like that.
Then, when morning comes,
... we wake up and make a pot of coffee.
Why do we bother doing it?
Because we are so.
You did this morning. You will do it again tomorrow.
But God, in His infinite wisdom,
... has ensured...
... that's enough for us.
One more. Mrs. Kennedy expressed his desire...
... to bury the bodies of two children...
... beside their father.
You hear that part, right?
He wants them to always remember,
... for a moment and shine,
... there is a...
Yes, Camelot. Yes.
I hope your night is fun, Mrs. Kennedy.
He writes each word.
Does it help cure you?
The book has been reprinted all over the world.
Maybe that's why they all now believe. Camelot.
People love to believe in fairy tales.
And you?
Do you believe you have given him justice?
I believe that characters who are we read on the book page...
... finally becomes more real than those who stand beside us.
I should have thought...
... too much if we want to grow old together,
... see our child grow up.
Darkness might not go away,
... but it won't always be this weight.
Come on.
They are waiting for us in Arlington.
In the name of the Father,
... Son, and Holy Spirit...
In the name of the Father,
... Son, and Holy Spirit...
In this room John Fitzgerald Kennedy and his wife, Jacqueline, lived for 2 years, 10 months, 2 days. He is President of the United States: 20 January 1961 - 22 November 1963
Every morning, from December to December,
... before you are lulled to sleep on your bed...
Think back to all the stories you remember...
... about Camelot
Ask each person whether he or she has heard that story...
And tell me loudly...
I'm so happy so he can be proud.
Because at that time I had a child,
... and I can't join the campaign,
... then we arrived at the White House,
... and of all things I usually do,
... suddenly everything becomes extraordinary.
Because whatever the First Lady does...
... differently, everyone watches.
And I'm very happy for Jack...
... that he can be proud of me.
It is the happiest years.
Where once there was only rain when the sun went down...
8 o'clock in the morning, morning mist has flown.
Don't be forgotten...
That there used to be a place...
For a moment and shine...
What is known...
... as Camelot.
