00:00:00I believe in Houghton Caulfield and the book and what it was saying, what it was saying to a lost generation of phony people.
00:00:14We have arrested Mark David Chapman of 55 South Kukui, K-U-K-U-I Street, Hawaii, for the homicide of John Lennon.
00:00:32If you wanna know, I mean if you really want me to tell you about it, I will.
00:00:42But the first thing you probably want to know is all that stuff about my dad and what he did to my mom and me and all.
00:00:51The whole goddamn childhood.
00:00:54But I'm not gonna tell you any of that stuff.
00:00:58That stuff isn't important.
00:01:00Not anymore.
00:01:24You.
00:01:25You.
00:01:26You.
00:01:28You.
00:01:29You.
00:03:00Thanks.
00:03:01Those three days in New York City.
00:03:06Hey, listen.
00:03:09You know those ducks?
00:03:13The ones in Central Park?
00:03:17Huh?
00:03:17The ducks, the ones that swim around that lake in Central Park.
00:03:27Do you know it?
00:03:29You want to go there?
00:03:30No.
00:03:31No.
00:03:32Well, yeah, maybe I will.
00:03:37It's just in the winter, when the lake freezes, where do they go?
00:03:46What are you saying?
00:03:47What happens to them?
00:03:51To the ducks?
00:03:52Where do they go?
00:03:53Where are they now?
00:03:54You've got to be kidding me, right?
00:03:55You've got to be.
00:03:56You've got to be kidding me, right?
00:03:57You've got to be.
00:03:58You're asking me about ducks.
00:04:03All right, buddy.
00:04:04So where are you wanting me to take you?
00:04:05For real.
00:04:06All right, buddy.
00:04:07So where are you wanting me to take you?
00:04:08For real.
00:04:10I didn't know it at the time, but the whole goddamn place was full of perverts and morons.
00:04:38It depressed the hell out of me.
00:04:41It really did.
00:04:48Nobody in the world knew what was going on in that room, what was happening to me.
00:05:02Holden.
00:05:07It was December and all, and I went outside and walked a few blocks north.
00:05:26It was kind of a crazy cold day.
00:05:31No sun out.
00:05:32No wind.
00:05:33Nothing.
00:05:34Nothing.
00:05:35I went up to the Dakota, the strange building on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
00:05:43It was like something out of The Wizard of Oz.
00:05:44It was like something out of The Wizard of Oz.
00:05:50It was like something out of The Wizard of Oz.
00:05:51It was like something out of The Wizard of Oz.
00:06:05The home of the great, the powerful.
00:06:12The land is like something out of the way.
00:06:13It's not that bad.
00:06:14It's too hard to say.
00:06:15I've never seen anything.
00:06:30I bet you guys are waiting for somebody, huh?
00:06:39Hey, do you know? Is he home?
00:06:45I don't know. He's somewhere in New York City.
00:06:51Oh, my God.
00:06:55I can't believe I'm standing right here.
00:07:01You are.
00:07:03You've got to understand, I've been a Beatles fan since I was a kid.
00:07:08And John is... was the genius.
00:07:14Do you like his new album?
00:07:18Oh, he has a new album?
00:07:20Yeah, silly.
00:07:21Oh, no, wait. I read about that.
00:07:23It's, uh, double...
00:07:25Double fantasy.
00:07:26Double fantasy.
00:07:27It's amazing.
00:07:30You know, it's really real.
00:07:32It's flawless, really. It's flawless.
00:07:35I know. I came all the way from Hawaii just to get his autograph.
00:07:46You know, you should buy it.
00:07:48You should buy it and ask John to sign it.
00:07:50Yeah, sure. I will.
00:07:58You'll love it.
00:08:01Hey, Jude, um...
00:08:03We were going, right?
00:08:04Yeah.
00:08:05Wanted to go?
00:08:06Yeah.
00:08:07Yeah.
00:08:08I'm sorry. I'm Mark.
00:08:12Mark Chapman.
00:08:13I'm here to meet John Lennon.
00:08:31After a while, I left and walked over towards Broadway.
00:08:35I wanted to buy the new John Lennon album.
00:08:39It wasn't cheap, that's for sure.
00:08:45But I didn't give a damn.
00:08:47I get so happy when I think about that record, even now.
00:08:53I used to love the Beatles.
00:08:54I still love the Beatles.
00:08:55I still love the Beatles.
00:08:56I swear to God, I really do.
00:08:59Sometimes I felt like the Beatles' music was made just for me.
00:09:01Sometimes I felt like the Beatles' music was made just for me.
00:09:05But I didn't give a damn.
00:09:07I get so happy when I think about that record, even now.
00:09:11I still love the Beatles.
00:09:13I still love the Beatles.
00:09:14I swear to God, I really do.
00:09:21Sometimes I felt like the Beatles' music was made just for me.
00:09:41Hey!
00:09:42All right, you got it.
00:09:45See that?
00:09:46Right there.
00:09:47Where they're standing?
00:09:48Does it look familiar?
00:09:49Oh, my God.
00:09:50Yeah.
00:09:53That's here.
00:09:55That's here.
00:09:56That's right over there.
00:10:00He stood right here.
00:10:03Well, the heel coat was over here.
00:10:07Pretty neat, huh?
00:10:11You guys are pathetic.
00:10:41I'm so sorry.
00:10:42I'm so sorry.
00:10:43I'm so sorry.
00:10:44I'm so sorry.
00:10:45I'm so sorry.
00:10:46I'm so sorry.
00:10:47I'm so sorry.
00:10:48I'm so sorry.
00:10:49I'm so sorry.
00:10:50I'm so sorry.
00:10:58Hey, you.
00:10:59We were gonna go see the movie.
00:11:02A movie.
00:11:03Later.
00:11:06Hello?
00:11:07Do you wanna come?
00:11:08What?
00:11:09We're gonna go see a movie later.
00:11:11Do you want to come?
00:11:17Oh, no.
00:11:20No.
00:11:21I hate the movies.
00:11:24They're phony.
00:11:26So goddamn phony.
00:11:29I mean, look at the actors.
00:11:30They're always clutching their foreheads
00:11:32and breathing deep.
00:11:34It's like they know they're acting
00:11:35and they know how good they are
00:11:37and goddamn it, they're gonna show you.
00:11:42No, I can't stand it.
00:11:45It drives me insane.
00:11:47Drives me absolutely insane if you wanna know the truth.
00:11:52Okay.
00:11:53I know I can take you gals to dinner.
00:11:59I mean, if you want.
00:12:02You like Japanese food?
00:12:04I've been to Japan.
00:12:06I've been all over the world.
00:12:08Okay.
00:12:09Great.
00:12:10It's settled then.
00:12:12I take you guys to dinner at a Japanese food restaurant.
00:12:16My treat.
00:12:18All right.
00:12:21Bye-bye.
00:12:24Don't forget.
00:12:25Don't forget.
00:12:46I waited and I waited for what felt like forever.
00:12:49But nothing happened.
00:12:53No one came.
00:12:56I thought about waiting for that girl, the fan.
00:12:58But I knew she wouldn't come back.
00:13:00No one ever does anything they say they will.
00:13:02I thought about waiting for that girl, the fan,
00:13:07but I knew she wouldn't come back.
00:13:12No one ever does anything they say they will.
00:13:18And it was so cold.
00:13:21It was scary.
00:13:23I felt like I was disappearing
00:13:26every time I crossed the street.
00:13:32I'm too vulnerable for a world full of pain and lies and phoniness.
00:14:02There were these two obvious homosexuals in the room next door,
00:14:07and they were loud and drunk and laughing like whatever they were doing
00:14:12was the funniest goddamn thing in the world.
00:14:16I swear to God, I was the only normal bastard in the world.
00:14:25I swear to God, I was the only normal bastard in the world.
00:14:31The thing was the funniest goddamn thing in the world.
00:14:43I swear to God, I was the only normal bastard in that lousy dump.
00:14:51Help me, devil.
00:14:55Kill them.
00:15:02Go over there and shoot them.
00:15:15Don't.
00:15:25Taxi!
00:15:36Take me someplace nice.
00:15:39A nice hotel.
00:15:41Not too expensive or anything.
00:15:44Just nice.
00:15:47No problem.
00:15:55Hey, do you want to stop and have a drink with me or something?
00:15:59I've got plenty of money, I'll buy.
00:16:02No, no drinking tonight.
00:16:14You like rock and roll?
00:16:16Yeah.
00:16:18You like Beatles music?
00:16:22Yeah.
00:16:25I have to tell you something, I just have to blurt this out.
00:16:30I was at a recording session tonight with John Lennon and Paul McCartney.
00:16:37They recorded an album together.
00:16:40They recorded for three hours straight.
00:16:43I'm the engineer.
00:16:45And, uh, he, uh, they met me and they told me how much they like my work.
00:16:51And, uh, to me, it's just so ecstatic to think that John Lennon and Paul McCartney would tell me how great they think my work is.
00:17:07You know, it's from them to me and everything, you know, it all, it's just...
00:17:19I just had to tell you that.
00:17:21The cabbie told me that Jimmy Carter stayed at that hotel and when he was the president, too.
00:17:34He told me he did it to show everyone what a regular guy he was.
00:17:40I thought that was hysterical.
00:17:43The president staying at a regular hotel like this.
00:17:47That cracked me up.
00:17:54I had a little bit of dough, but not so much that I could stay in a place like that forever.
00:18:00Goddamn money.
00:18:02It always ends up depressing the hell out of you.
00:18:04Very soon, he will leave his home. If he stays outside and is not frightened by his shadow, that will be my sign to move on.
00:18:21But if his shadow frightens him?
00:18:27Six more weeks of winter.
00:18:31Of winter.
00:18:35But, sir, spring can't come early.
00:18:38I've got to keep that castle snowbound.
00:18:41Oh, please, sir, don't take winter away. Not yet.
00:18:44It's up to me, Jack Frost.
00:18:47I take my orders from nature.
00:18:50When she gives me a certain sign, I know it's my time to leave.
00:18:54What sign, sir?
00:19:13Steve, how are you doing?
00:19:16I'm doing fine. And how did you know my name?
00:19:18You don't remember me?
00:19:23I was here a little over a month ago.
00:19:26From Hawaii.
00:19:28I was here to see John Lennon.
00:19:31Nope.
00:19:35Okay, well, uh...
00:19:49Last time I didn't do it.
00:19:54Get to meet him, I mean.
00:19:58But I'm back.
00:20:06Do you know, is he, uh...
00:20:10Is he home?
00:20:12Actually, I think he might be out of town.
00:20:15Huh.
00:20:18You mind if I wait and see?
00:20:32Be my guest.
00:20:34But, uh, step back a bit.
00:20:44I gave a great deal of myself to what John Lennon had said.
00:20:48And sung about.
00:20:50And told us all to do.
00:20:55His music and his lyrics provided me with everything I needed.
00:21:01What I really love about a song or a book...
00:21:04If it's really good...
00:21:06I mean, if the writer is really talking to you,
00:21:10Then you feel like they're this really great friend of yours,
00:21:12And you can just call them up on the phone whenever you want.
00:21:17Oh God, be on the phone!
00:21:18You know what?
00:21:19Every one needs something...
00:21:32To find something.
00:21:34Everyone is cracked and broken.
00:21:38cracked and broken you have to find something to fix you to give you what
00:21:51you need to take you away and make you whole

00:23:06and hershey's bars with almonds and that he smoked french cigarettes
00:23:13and when they asked if the beatles would ever get back together he said just because a whole
00:23:17pile of dummies missed it the first time he shouldn't have to be crucified again
00:23:21he shouldn't have to walk on water again he said he shouldn't have to divide the fish for the
00:23:29multitudes again he really said all that and here he was living this sumptuous life
00:23:38imagine no possessions the bastard had millions yachts farms countryside estates and who the hell knows what else
00:23:53he turned his back on everyone
00:24:01that was a tremendous confirmation for me

00:27:27I'm thinking now, when the woman left,
00:27:30I just wanted to kill myself.
00:27:35I thought about just throwing myself out the goddamn window.
00:27:45I'd like to make a collect call to Hawaii.
00:27:50Okay, sir. One moment, please.
00:27:53Whom shall I say is calling?

00:28:40It was good.
00:28:41It was really good.
00:28:43It was very sweet.
00:28:44It's sad.
00:28:45It reminds me of you.
00:28:47The way your mind works.
00:28:48I like it, too.
00:28:54How was your party,
00:28:55the one that you were going to on Saturday night?
00:29:00It was fun.
00:29:02I'm sorry.
00:29:03I didn't wish you a happy party.
00:29:05I just wasn't thinking about things like that before I left.
00:29:08It's okay.
00:29:10I know.
00:29:11I know you.
00:29:13You're my husband.
00:29:13It's getting so late here.
00:29:17I just can't seem to get to sleep.
00:29:22Well, I just got into bed,
00:29:24and I'm reading my Bible.
00:29:27Maybe you should try working on your problems
00:29:30one at a time.
00:29:32Maybe the first one should be getting back with Christ again.
00:29:37After that, you can just ask him for his help with the others.
00:29:43Do you remember what I told you
00:30:05the night before I left?
00:30:09Sort of.
00:30:12I do.
00:30:13I was asleep.
00:30:16I told you that I loved you.
00:30:20I love you very much.
00:30:24More than anyone else.
00:30:26I love you, too.
00:30:31You're my gemstone.
00:30:33Goodbye, all right?
00:30:42Okay.
00:30:43Okay.
00:30:45Bye.
00:30:47I love you.
00:30:48Bye.
00:31:14Bye.
00:31:14Bye.
00:31:14Bye.
00:31:14I'm going to kill John Lennon.
00:31:44This isn't like last time, something's going to happen.
00:32:01This is happening.
00:32:14That morning, everything had changed.
00:32:43It just felt different.
00:32:52And I knew.
00:33:01I knew in my bones I would never see my hotel room again.
00:33:10I laid out the few possessions I had managed to keep.
00:33:15Just all the things that meant something.
00:33:22A letter of commendation for my work with Vietnamese children.
00:33:27My passport.
00:33:29And a couple of photographs from my trip around the world.
00:33:34What was left of my life.
00:33:39I knew.
00:33:40I knew.
00:33:44I knew.
00:33:48I knew.
00:33:49I knew.
00:33:51I knew.
00:33:52I knew.
00:33:54I knew.
00:33:56I knew.
00:34:30It was all so that when they came, the police or whoever it was going to be, when everyone
00:34:45would want to know who I was, who I had become.
00:34:57And maybe if I found myself unable to speak or something, this would tell them who I was
00:35:06before.
00:35:51I don't know.
00:36:21I don't know.
00:36:51I am Holden.
00:36:59I'm gone now.
00:37:18I'm becoming something new.
00:37:48I'm becoming something new.
00:38:18I'm becoming something new.
00:38:28Hey, listen, you know those ducks?
00:38:37The taxi.
00:38:38She had a teeny voice?
00:38:40And the prostitute with a green dress.
00:38:43This isn't like last time.
00:38:45The old man carried my bag.
00:38:47No.
00:38:48Oh, this is different.
00:38:51I can feel it.
00:38:52Something will catch me.
00:38:54This is not a coincidence.
00:38:55I'll be in a big field of rye.
00:39:18I can feel it.
00:39:28I can feel it.
00:39:30I can feel it.
00:39:31I can feel it.
00:39:31I can feel it.
00:39:40I can feel it.
00:39:43I can feel it.
00:39:45Good morning, do you know if John Lennon's gonna come out today?
00:40:10I've got his new album here and I was hoping to get his autograph.
00:40:15I can't help you.
00:40:19Look, I understand. I know how it is.
00:40:23I've been waiting for two days already and I just, I really want to meet him, you know?
00:40:31You see, the thing is, I'm not the regular doorman here, so I don't know much about John Lennon.
00:40:38I knew it. I knew it. I knew it was something like that.
00:40:43Ha!
00:40:47You see, this is my second time here.
00:40:49Last time I thought I'd met all the doormen.
00:40:52Thought I'd met them all.
00:40:54But sure, I thought I'd seen them all, but...
00:40:57I've been waiting a long time.
00:41:07All right.
00:41:11Look, he may have left earlier, before I came on. Somebody told me he left.
00:41:22John Lennon?
00:41:23Mm-hmm.
00:41:24John Lennon. You're serious. You're not joking.
00:41:27No.
00:41:28Do you know where he went? Do you know when he's gonna be back? Do you? Do you?
00:41:39No. No, I don't. No.
00:41:42Thank you. Thank you.
00:42:03He's here.
00:42:15It says it was a Monday.
00:42:17A Monday, you know.
00:42:19Pretty near Christmas.
00:42:21This is it.
00:42:23It's real this time.
00:42:25This is not a coincidence.
00:42:27I'm going to be with you, Holden.
00:42:29In the rye.
00:42:31In the rye.
00:42:32I'll just disappear into the ink of the book.
00:42:37No.
00:42:38That won't happen.
00:42:40That's an unreality.
00:42:42But something will.
00:42:43Something will.
00:42:44I'll go into the fetal.
00:42:45Something is going to happen.
00:42:50May I be deaf.
00:42:52A deaf mute.
00:42:53Holden.
00:42:54And I'll never speak again.
00:42:55I can't.
00:42:56I tried to be a good person.
00:42:58I can see it.
00:43:00I can see it.
00:43:00It's all over, Holden.
00:43:02I'm taking a stand now.
00:43:05And the whole world will know.
00:43:07A man with stillness and blackness all around him.
00:43:11A man who would no longer do anything for anybody anymore.
00:43:16A man refusing.
00:43:18Refusing to have anything to do with the world.
00:43:21And the world would never intrude.
00:43:24Hey, hey, buddy.
00:43:24Hey.
00:43:25What?
00:43:26You see him?
00:43:28What?
00:43:29Mr. Lenny just came inside.
00:43:31He just came in.
00:43:33You didn't see him?
00:43:34I guess it wasn't meant to be.
00:43:44I'll just have to keep waiting.
00:43:45Yeah.
00:43:46Here's a lad.
00:43:47You wait him out.
00:43:50It's okay.
00:43:53Don't worry.
00:43:55It's still a little kid.
00:43:56It wasn't meant to happen.
00:44:01When the time is right, it'll happen.
00:44:06It won't be long.
00:44:07Some very serious thoughts came into my mind of leaving.
00:44:14Abandoning the idea of going back to the hotel, checking out, getting a cab to the airport,
00:44:19and flying the hell out of there.
00:44:21I would talk myself out of it and then say,
00:44:24Go now before it gets a hold of you again.
00:44:26Hey, Mark.
00:44:27Don't make it bad.
00:44:31Hey, Jude.
00:44:32Do you mind?
00:44:42I want to sit facing the...
00:44:47Oh.
00:44:48You want to sit here?
00:44:53So I can keep my eye out.
00:44:59Just in case.
00:45:01Yeah, sure.
00:45:02So, the other night...
00:45:07No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:45:08Yeah, Jerry and I were waiting.
00:45:11Oh.
00:45:12Um, for you.
00:45:14And then she wanted to go, but of course I wanted to stay.
00:45:20And then I wanted to go, and we were going to go.
00:45:22And then as we were leaving, a cab pulled up.
00:45:26And it was John.
00:45:29Just John.
00:45:30Anyway, he talked to us for a bit.
00:45:35And, um, Jerry bummed one of his cigarettes.
00:45:37Which was great.
00:45:41I've read their French.
00:45:43So, do you like New York?
00:46:04I guess that's a no.
00:46:08Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:46:11It's okay.
00:46:12It's okay.
00:46:15I just, I mean...
00:46:17It's kind of dirty.
00:46:19Sometimes.
00:46:20It's nothing like Hawaii.
00:46:24Hawaii.
00:46:26Hawaii is amazing.
00:46:28I'll bet.
00:46:30Hawaii changed my life.
00:46:32It really did.
00:46:35When I first got out there, I was...
00:46:37You know, I thought I was...
00:46:39I thought I was...
00:46:42I thought it was done.
00:46:49Hawaii saved my life.
00:46:51It saved my life.
00:46:54It did.
00:46:55It really, really did.
00:46:56You know, I'd really like to go there sometime.
00:46:59But I don't think...
00:47:00No, no, no.
00:47:01Don't, don't, don't ever say that.
00:47:04Don't ever say anything like that.
00:47:06What?
00:47:08You can do anything.
00:47:10You can do anything.
00:47:10If you set your mind to it, you can do anything.
00:47:17The human mind.
00:47:21The human mind is an incredible thing.
00:47:24Once its mind is made up,
00:47:30it can do anything.
00:47:35Then maybe I'll go.
00:47:36No, not maybe, not maybe.
00:47:38You've got to decide in your mind that you will.
00:47:43Okay, I will.
00:47:44You've got to say it.
00:47:47You've got to know it.
00:47:53Say it.
00:47:54Someday I will go to Hawaii.
00:48:05Very good.
00:48:09Very good.
00:48:10It's like I told my mother before I left.
00:48:15I knew I was going to do something big.
00:48:18I just didn't know if it was going to be good or bad.
00:48:23What do you mean?
00:48:24What do you mean by that?
00:48:29Hey, do you want to go someplace with me?
00:48:39You and me, we could just leave right now.
00:48:43Just go.
00:48:44Just get out of here right now.
00:48:45What do you say?
00:48:46Yeah, we could go.
00:48:47We can't just leave right now.
00:48:48We can't just leave right now.
00:48:49Why the hell not?
00:48:53Yeah, we could plan a day trip or something.
00:49:00You know, she took me halfway there.
00:49:01No, no, no, not like that.
00:49:03Then there'd be cabs and elevators and all that crap.
00:49:07We have to go now.
00:49:08We have to go now.
00:49:12Well, I have stuff to do.
00:49:23Just forget it.
00:49:24I don't even know why the hell I said we're not going to go anywhere.
00:49:33But you should remember me.
00:49:40You should.
00:49:41Hey, shouldn't we be closer?
00:50:01How come you never wait inside there or anything?
00:50:03Sometimes it's good not to be right there.
00:50:06You know, there when we'll come out.
00:50:10Besides, some of the best times
00:50:12are when John's leaving Central Park.
00:50:15There's this coffee shop that he goes to.
00:50:18It shows that he's real.
00:50:20Wow.
00:50:22Oh, hey, see that guy right there?
00:50:24That's John's assistant, Frederick.
00:50:27Who, him?
00:50:28Yeah.
00:50:33Frederick.
00:50:36Frederick.
00:50:38Frederick.
00:50:42God damn it.
00:50:43I hope he comes out in focus this time.
00:50:45Last time it was a little blurry.
00:50:48No, you know, I got a dark room.
00:50:50I tried to catch him, but he saw me.
00:50:52He went inside of the other way.
00:50:54Um, this is my friend.
00:50:56He's a Beatles fan from Hawaii.
00:50:58Oh, hey, Hawaii.
00:50:59Cool, man.
00:50:59How's it hanging?
00:51:02Paul.
00:51:02Paul's a photographer.
00:51:05You trying to catch somebody?
00:51:07That fella over there is John Lennon's assistant.
00:51:10Oh, Freddie.
00:51:11He's, uh...
00:51:13He's, uh...
00:51:15You should meet him.
00:51:16Yeah.
00:51:18I'm just here to get John Lennon's autograph.
00:51:21So, are we going to do any touristy stuff?
00:51:27Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:51:29I'm not going to do that.
00:51:32No.
00:51:33Well, you know why they call this building in the Dakota?
00:51:36Because, uh, when it was first built in the 1800s,
00:51:39there was nothing up here.
00:51:40It was just farm.
00:51:41And they're like, well, if you lived up here,
00:51:43you might as well be living out in Dakota.
00:51:44I don't even think Dakota was south and north Dakota yet.
00:51:47It was just like a territory.
00:51:49And they also, they, uh, they shot Rosemary's Baby here.
00:51:52The movie?
00:51:54No, the baby.
00:51:55Yeah, the movie.
00:51:57They shot it here in the Dakota.
00:51:59Oh, wow.
00:52:02Really?
00:52:04I thought you didn't like movies.
00:52:06Oh, it's some I like.
00:52:07Some are okay.
00:52:09Wizard of Oz is wonderful.
00:52:13Rosemary's Baby is pretty good, I guess.
00:52:14It's not too phony.
00:52:16I didn't like that movie.
00:52:17Why?
00:52:18Because it says everyone who lives in the Dakota worships Satan?
00:52:21Well, yes.
00:52:22Also, because very slow moving.
00:52:25Nothing happens till the end.
00:52:26Yeah, but, Jude, that's Polanski.
00:52:28Well, then, I don't like to see.
00:52:30Wait, wait, wait, that's the guy.
00:52:34Charles Manson killed his wife.
00:52:37Right?
00:52:38Charentine.
00:52:40Yeah, she was pregnant, so.
00:52:43And beautiful.
00:52:44Hell too skilled.
00:52:48John Lennon.
00:52:50John Lennon lives in a building
00:52:53where I film
00:52:55about Satan coming to Earth
00:52:58and that the director
00:53:00and his wife and child
00:53:03were killed because of a song
00:53:04that John Lennon...
00:53:08Oh, my God.
00:53:10This is not a coincidence.
00:53:13Today's the day.
00:53:15Today is the day.
00:53:18What's the way of looking at it?
00:53:21It's no coincidence.
00:53:26Hey, uh,
00:53:27where'd you say you were from again?
00:53:28What?
00:53:31You don't sound like you're from Hawaii.
00:53:34What?
00:53:34He knows.
00:53:36He knows.
00:53:37Get him.
00:53:38Why would you ask me that?
00:53:40Hey, take it easy.
00:53:41I was only asking...
00:53:42Why would you ask me something like that?
00:53:45Like that?
00:53:46You don't sound like you're from Hawaii.
00:53:47Why would you say...
00:53:48Why would you say...
00:53:48Why would you say something like that?
00:53:50Why would you ask me something like that?
00:53:52Hey, hey, forget it, man.
00:53:54Forget it.
00:53:54This is a question, man.
00:53:55Oh, Jesus.
00:54:00Did you see him?
00:54:02Did you see that?
00:54:06Hey, you know, I'm...
00:54:07I gotta go.
00:54:08I'm gonna...
00:54:09So I should probably go.
00:54:10Hello.
00:54:27Hi.
00:54:29Hi, Sean.
00:54:29Oh, dear.
00:54:31Is he your friend?
00:54:38Oh, he's a Beatles fan.
00:54:40From Hawaii.
00:54:42Hoping to get John's autograph.
00:54:44It's nice to meet you.
00:54:46This is Helen, Sean's nanny.
00:54:49Oh.
00:54:50This is a little heartbreaker.
00:54:52This is Sean.
00:54:53Hi, Sean.
00:54:54I flew all the way across the ocean from Hawaii.
00:55:03And it's an honor to meet you, Mr. Lennon.
00:55:11You better take care of that runny nose.
00:55:13You wouldn't want to get sick in this Christmas.
00:55:15Oh.
00:55:17Well, it's time for us to go.
00:55:19Bye-bye.
00:55:20Wave bye to Jude.
00:55:22Bye-bye, you see you soon.
00:55:25Hope you get your autograph.
00:55:27Have a good day.
00:55:34John and Yoko must be so proud.
00:55:37Yeah.
00:55:39Well, I hope you get your record signed.
00:55:41And I hope you listen to it.
00:55:43You're not gonna leave yet, are you?
00:55:45We haven't even seen John.
00:55:46Yeah, I know.
00:55:48But it was good seeing you again.
00:55:50I gotta go.
00:55:51Thanks, but you should stay.
00:55:53I'd love to, but I can't.
00:55:55Well, then stay.
00:55:57You know, I'm tired.
00:55:59No, no, no, wait, wait, wait, wait, just a little bit longer.
00:56:02I know he's gonna come out.
00:56:03I know it, I know it, I know it.
00:56:05Maybe some other time.
00:56:06I know he's gonna come out.
00:56:09He's got to, you know?
00:56:11I'm sorry.
00:56:12I can't.
00:56:14Good luck.
00:56:14Guys, please, wait.
00:56:19I said wait.
00:56:28It's over.
00:56:29It was like this crazy stage had been set up,
00:56:44and all the actors were coming and going.
00:56:58I was merely an image.
00:57:02I was a tin man playing a Beatles fan,
00:57:06playing an autograph seeker.
00:57:10And underneath, I was a boiling cauldron of rage.
00:57:15But no one could tell a goddamn thing.
00:57:18Soon, all the other actors will leave,
00:57:24and I will be all alone.
00:57:26I guess it's down to just us die-hard Beatleholics, huh?
00:57:42Listen about my behavior earlier.
00:57:48It's just I was told you can never be too careful in New York City.
00:57:53I really am sorry.
00:57:54Sorry.
00:57:56It's fine.
00:58:08I didn't want to be waiting out here all by myself.
00:58:12Well, what the hell?
00:58:13You start a conversation with the guy,
00:58:16and out of nowhere, you get hostile.
00:58:18Well, I'm just testy, I guess.
00:58:22I've been waiting out here for three days.
00:58:25Great.
00:58:26Maybe it's all those, uh, all those stories I've heard.
00:58:35But, you know, you never know who you're talking to.
00:58:43You're gonna bend your album there.
00:58:46Nobody's gonna steal that here, man.
00:58:47Hey, Jose.
00:59:00Hey, Jose.
00:59:00How are you?
00:59:02You remember me?
00:59:03Yes.
00:59:05You're from Hawaii.
00:59:06John Lennon, right?
00:59:08That's me.
00:59:09That's me, the Beatles fan.
00:59:11All that way.
00:59:13Again?
00:59:14Hey, do you know Paul?
00:59:16Hey, Paul, do you know Jose?
00:59:18You know Paul?
00:59:19Yeah, I know him.
00:59:20Yeah, I know him.
00:59:20If the guy dresses up in a maintenance uniform, sneaks into my building and takes pictures.
00:59:27Oh.
00:59:27Oh, shame on you.
00:59:28These are private individuals.
00:59:30Oh.
00:59:31Yeah.
00:59:32Do you know he makes money for this?
00:59:34No.
00:59:35Sure.
00:59:36Man?
00:59:37Who'd they pay for?
00:59:38John Lennon, obviously.
00:59:40Yoko, too.
00:59:42Gilda Radner, Roberta Flack, Lauren Bacall, Paul Simon.
00:59:47It's so strange.
00:59:49You know how, when you see people for the first time, even though you know you've seen them
00:59:55before, it's...
00:59:57I mean, John Lennon must be the most famous person in the world, and I'd never seen him.
01:00:04Do you remember what I told you last time?
01:00:08You remember?
01:00:09I was definitely gonna meet John Lennon.
01:00:12That's what I said.
01:00:13Definitely.
01:00:14I said definitely.
01:00:15I remember.
01:00:16And I'm back.
01:00:18I flew all the way back.
01:00:20I spared no expense.
01:00:22I'm ready.
01:00:23I've got...
01:00:24I've got his new album here.
01:00:26And, uh, I've even got a new pen.
01:00:31Great.
01:00:33I've got your book.
01:00:39This isn't just a book.
01:00:46This is everything.
01:00:48Never read it.
01:00:50Supposed to.
01:00:51About some kid, right?
01:00:53Yeah, old Carfield.
01:00:54And what happens?
01:00:56Well, this young fella, he leaves school.
01:01:10He runs away and goes on this... this three-day journey through Manhattan, in a sense, to find himself.
01:01:27But he doesn't find anything but a bunch of phoniness that...
01:01:32What makes it so great?
01:01:34I mean, that's it?
01:01:35How does it end?
01:01:36How does it end?
01:01:37It doesn't really...
01:01:38It doesn't really...
01:01:39It doesn't...
01:01:40It doesn't matter how it ends.
01:01:41It...
01:01:42He's...
01:01:43He's in a mental institution and...
01:01:46He's...
01:01:47Telling us the story.
01:01:52That's where he's talking to us.
01:01:57In retrospect.
01:01:59Just...
01:02:00Just read it.
01:02:01Just...
01:02:02Just read it.
01:02:04Yeah.
01:02:05Okay.
01:02:06John.
01:02:07Oh, shit.

01:03:25Yeah.
01:03:29Have you got a pen?
01:03:31Thanks.
01:03:38Is that all you want?
01:03:49Yeah.
01:03:50Thanks.
01:03:51You sure?
01:03:52That's all.
01:03:53Yeah, that's all.
01:03:56Thanks, John.
01:03:58You're welcome.
01:04:01Yeah, that's all.
01:04:03Thanks, John.
01:04:04You're welcome.
01:04:17That was really him.
01:04:28You know he wasn't real.
01:04:31Looks like he scored big time.
01:04:33Wow.
01:04:34You put the date on it and everything.
01:04:36Big stars don't usually put the dates on things.
01:04:39Do they?
01:04:40When they sign them?
01:04:42No.
01:04:43I don't think they do.
01:04:44Oh, wow.
01:04:45This is really, really unique.
01:04:48Yeah, I'm saying.
01:04:49Now what you gotta do is get it framed.
01:04:52You...
01:04:53You were taking pictures.
01:04:55Right here.
01:04:58Did you take one of me and John?
01:05:00I think I might have.
01:05:01Oh, my God.
01:05:02Oh, my God.
01:05:03Oh, my God.
01:05:04I'd do anything for that picture.
01:05:05I'd give you, uh...
01:05:06I'd give you $50 for it.
01:05:07Okay, man.
01:05:08Calm down.
01:05:09What?
01:05:10Can I get it tonight?
01:05:11Come on.
01:05:12I have to have it tonight.
01:05:13Have to.
01:05:14I don't know about tonight.
01:05:15I live in Jersey.
01:05:16It's kind of far.
01:05:17Well, then how about tomorrow?
01:05:18I'll meet you here.
01:05:19I'll meet you right here.
01:05:20And I'll give you $50 for it.
01:05:21I swear to God I will.
01:05:22Yeah, okay.
01:05:23Say it.
01:05:24Say it.
01:05:25Say it.
01:05:26Say it.
01:05:27Say it.
01:05:28Say it.
01:05:29Come on.
01:05:30Say it tomorrow.
01:05:31Yeah, tomorrow.
01:05:32I'll meet you here.
01:05:33And I'll give you $50 for the photo of John Lennon.
01:05:36Wait, do they see this back home?
01:05:40And I'll give you $50 for the photo of John Lennon.
01:05:57Wait until they see this back home.
01:06:01I'm sorry.
01:06:02I don't know how they're going to believe it, but they'll have to.
01:06:11I guess so.
01:06:12Hey, hey Jose, look what I've got.
01:06:17You see that?
01:06:18Oh no, very nice.
01:06:20Vaya, congratulations, hermano.
01:06:22I knew it.
01:06:23Terrifying.
01:06:24You did it.
01:06:25Thank you, I knew it, I knew it.
01:06:27You remember?
01:06:29Good for you, good for you.
01:06:32Hey, Fred, check this out.
01:06:35This guy came all the way from Hawaii and got John to sign his album.
01:06:39Check it out.
01:06:40Congratulations, man.
01:06:42It's great.
01:06:43It's really, it's brilliant.
01:06:46Hey, thanks for stopping.
01:06:48Do you know when they'll be back?
01:06:50Do you?
01:06:51Take it easy.
01:06:54Hey, they have to come back tonight, right?
01:06:56What time do you think they will?
01:06:58It's hard to say.
01:06:59If they just went to dinner, they'll be back in about an hour.
01:07:02But if they went to the studio, they could be gone all night.
01:07:06Okay.
01:07:07And you know, I think, I'm thinking they probably went to the studio.
01:07:11In fact, I'm sure of it.
01:07:13So, uh, congratulations.
01:07:15Good night.
01:07:16Don't, don't, don't leave yet.
01:07:18What, why not?
01:07:19They could be back any minute.
01:07:21What if John forgot something?
01:07:23What if, what if, what if, what if, what if I'm gonna go?
01:07:26Don't, don't.
01:07:27Look, come on.
01:07:28They'll be back before midnight.
01:07:29I know it.
01:07:30Look, I'm coming back tomorrow with your photo.
01:07:31All right?
01:07:32Okay?
01:07:33Good.
01:07:34You got a real primo autograph from John Lennon.
01:07:35Go get some rest.
01:07:36Okay?
01:07:37Just a little longer.
01:07:38Please.
01:07:39Going home.
01:07:40I, I know I flew off the handle earlier.
01:07:42You just can never be too careful, you know?
01:07:44Hey, it's okay.
01:07:45You were right.
01:07:46You were right.
01:07:47You were right.
01:07:48I.
01:07:49What?
01:07:50You were right.
01:07:51I.
01:07:52What?
01:07:53You were right.
01:07:54I.
01:07:55You were right.
01:07:56I.
01:07:57What?
01:07:58You were right.
01:07:59You were right.
01:08:00You were right.
01:08:01You were right.
01:08:02I.
01:08:03What?
01:08:04Take the autograph.
01:08:05I'm not from Hawaii.
01:08:06Go.
01:08:07I'm from Georgia originally.
01:08:08I, I grew up in a suburb just outside of Atlanta.
01:08:11Decatur, Georgia.
01:08:12That's great.
01:08:13Yeah.
01:08:14I should have said something earlier, but I guess it was the southern accent, huh?
01:08:17Yeah, that was it.
01:08:18It was the southern accent.
01:08:19Come on, come on, come on.
01:08:20Wait with me.
01:08:21Wait with me.
01:08:22Just wait a little while.
01:08:23You saw, man.
01:08:24It didn't happen.
01:08:25No.
01:08:26Just.
01:08:27Just you and me.
01:08:28I, I know I'll, I'll take the pictures this time.
01:08:42If you have a camera, you won't be able to shoot him.
01:08:45I, I know how to handle him.
01:08:46He has to stay.
01:08:47Get your hands off the camera.
01:08:49Get him to stay.
01:08:50If you're taking pictures, you can't pull out a gun.
01:08:54I'll take your picture with John Lennon.
01:08:56I bet you never had that before, huh?
01:08:58No, I didn't.
01:09:00Hey, good night.
01:09:01He'll be back before midnight.
01:09:03I know it.
01:09:07I know it.
01:09:08I know he will.
01:09:15Hey, what if you never see him again?
01:09:19What if he goes to Spain or something?
01:09:24What if something happens to him?
01:09:45I can see it.
01:09:47You're sitting on the sofa and knowing what almost happened.
01:09:52Knowing that you could have done it.
01:09:54No.
01:09:55You do it.
01:09:58You do it.
01:10:00You liar.
01:10:06What if he's mine?
01:10:08You got to have him to sign, just go.
01:10:13Get in the next taxi.
01:10:15Just go, go, go, go, go!
01:10:18Don't do it.
01:10:19You liar.
01:10:20That's not what we're here for.
01:10:21That's not what we're here for.
01:10:22He signed your record and he was nice.
01:10:25Put the date on everything.
01:10:27He was kind.
01:10:28But I want to kill him.
01:10:29He's mine.
01:10:30I want him.
01:10:31Help me, devil.
01:10:33Leah.
01:10:34Give me the power.
01:10:36Don't bore.
01:10:38That's what I have to do.
01:10:40I have to.
01:10:41I have to.
01:10:42I have to.
01:10:43I want to.

01:10:51Nobody!
01:10:52You're nothing!
01:10:53He wasn't phony.
01:10:56Just get in the taxi.
01:10:58You coward, you phony.
01:10:59Taxi, go home.
01:11:00You got your autograph.
