00:09What were you told at the time of your father's death?
00:13I was told that your father has had an accident.
00:22But that was the cover story told by the CIA.
00:28My father, Frank Olson, was an army scientist.
00:32His research group had a relationship with the CIA.
00:37They take him to New York Tuesday morning,
00:40early Saturday morning, he's dead.
00:42What was my father doing?
00:43What was the CIA doing?
00:46What happened there?
00:48The released CIA documents deal with a project codenamed MK Oatro.
00:52There was in it a story of a CIA experiment on an unwitting civilian who was given LSD.
00:59You're the one on stage tonight, Dr. Olson.
01:03You're all a bunch of junkers.
01:06This has been the shift from thinking that my father's death was a mysterious suicide
01:11to knowing that it was a CIA atrocity.
01:13This is 1975.
01:15There were a lot of questions about the integrity of the US government.
01:19The government was so eager to shut this down.
01:23The tragedy that happened to the family was very deep and very real.
01:27Eric's whole life has been sucked into this terrible hole.
01:31The CIA was using LSD on people, but I think the real bad was something worse.
01:38He's a man that was profoundly distressed about what he was learning.
01:45Startling new information.
01:47Frank Olson, a former CIA scientist, may have been murdered.
01:51If you thought somebody was detrimental, you had no problem dealing with it.
01:55But then the question is, who ordered that?
02:00The United States began to do things which put its own democratic institutions in great jeopardy.
02:08And my father was in the center of that.
02:14Frank was somebody who has secrets, and he was dangerous.
02:18I can't tell you more.
02:31The United States
