00:01Previously on Tracking Oswald.
00:04Send it.
00:07Following newly declassified government files,
00:11CIA veteran Bob Baer and former police lieutenant Adam Bercovici
00:15discovered new evidence suggesting Lee Harvey Oswald was working
00:19with rogue members of the Cuban group Alpha 66
00:22in the months before President Kennedy's murder.
00:26Anything that they can destroy, they would do that.
00:31After an investigation that covered ground from Mexico City
00:35to Moscow, New Orleans to Miami,
00:38the team descended upon Dallas
00:41to search for signs of these potential accomplices
00:44near the scene of the crime.
00:45So you knew him?
00:46Yes, I did.
00:48We heard him speaking Spanish and Russian.
00:52On this telephone right here?
00:53Yes.
00:53This is not a panicked man.
00:55This is a man with a plan.
00:58Analyzing Oswald's potential escape route,
01:01Bob made a staggering discovery.
01:04A house on the outskirts of Dallas
01:06where Oswald reportedly met with Cuban exiles
01:09only days before Kennedy's murder.
01:13According to a sheriff's report,
01:15Oswald has been visiting a house at 3-1 Harlandale.
01:19This is exactly it.
01:21Every piece of evidence we've been following
01:23has led to this.
01:24Let's go.
01:26November 22nd, 1963.
01:30Lee Harvey Oswald opens fire in Dealey Plaza,
01:34forever changing American history.
01:36Unanswered questions linger,
01:39breeding countless conspiracy theories.
01:41Many believe Russia, Cuba, or even the CIA
01:45supported Oswald in his mission.
01:49In 2017, the final documents from the JFK assassination
01:54are scheduled for release.
01:56More than two million files have already been declassified.
02:00No one has analyzed them until now.
02:04A CIA veteran is on the trail of the most notorious assassin
02:08in U.S. history.
02:18After assassinating the president,
02:20there's no way Oswald gonna get out of Dallas
02:23without help of somebody.
02:25He would have known that.
02:26For 50 years, everybody's focused on Dealey Plaza.
02:29But no one's looked at what Lee Harvey Oswald
02:32would have done had he gotten away.
02:36The official investigation concludes
02:38that after shooting the president,
02:45Oswald goes back to his boarding house,
02:48changes his clothes, grabs his gun,
02:53then leaves the boarding house,
02:56and walks west,
02:58and then runs into Officer Tippett.
03:01He panics, shoots Tippett,
03:05and then runs into the Texas theater,
03:07where he's quickly found and apprehended by the Dallas PD.
03:17Less than 48 hours later,
03:19Oswald was killed by Jack Ruby.
03:21So police were never able to find out
03:24what his escape plan was.
03:26But in his pocket, there was a bus transfer ticket,
03:29which suggests he was headed for a bus stop.
03:34Searching their database,
03:35the teams also discovered
03:37a declassified Dallas Sheriff's report,
03:39offering new information
03:41about Oswald's possible escape route.
03:44The document reveals a house
03:47located on Harlandale Street,
03:49where Oswald reportedly met
03:50with several Cuban exiles
03:52before the assassination.
03:54The deputy sheriff later corrected the address
03:58to an adjacent house on Harlandale Street.
04:02After shooting the president of the United States,
04:05Oswald would have wanted a place to lay low
04:08until things cool down.
04:10And that's why this Harlandale address
04:12is so interesting to me.
04:17Is that it right there?
04:18This is it right here.
04:21This looks like a safe house.
04:22It does.
04:23A safe house is a pre-established,
04:26secure location where an asset can go,
04:30where he's not going to be compromised,
04:31not going to be captured by anybody
04:33that's looking for him.
04:36Look at this.
04:37This is a sheriff's report.
04:39Local law enforcement.
04:41The 3-1 Harlandale.
04:44Some Cubans had been having meetings
04:46and were connected with an organization
04:49of which Oswald was a member.
04:53My informant stated that Oswald
04:55had been to this house before.
04:59According to the sheriff's report,
05:02Cubans are living here.
05:03And Oswald is showing up.
05:07Pre-assassination for some unexplained reason.
05:11My gut tells me that the Cubans
05:13in this report are Alpha 66.
05:15It just makes sense based on the evidence we've gathered.
05:19The deputy goes on to say,
05:21I don't know what action the Secret Service has taken.
05:26But I learned today
05:27that the day after the president was shot,
05:30these Cubans moved from this house.
05:35They move out of the safe house
05:37the day after the assassination?
05:42And the fact is,
05:43nobody even showed up to verify the report.
05:45They didn't manage this case.
05:47This is part of a larger crime scene.
05:49Yeah.
05:49If this had been in the field in Iraq or Afghanistan,
05:53and the special forces had this lead,
05:55you would have had Blackhawks up,
05:58people fast roping.
05:59You would have been kicking down doors here.
06:01None of that was done.
06:02None of that was done.
06:04For whatever reason,
06:06neither the CIA nor the FBI
06:08looked into this Harlandale safe house.
06:11I'm not sure how it was associated
06:13with the assassination,
06:14but my gut tells me there's a link here.
06:18That bus ticket transfer,
06:20that's the key piece of evidence.
06:23Where could that transfer take him
06:25as quickly as possible?
06:26I think we need to look at
06:27a two-block radius of this,
06:28and we need to search it,
06:29and we need to see if possible locations
06:31or routes that he could have got here
06:32or left from here.
06:35Bob and Adam begin a search
06:37of the neighborhood,
06:38looking for any evidence linking the house
06:40to Oswald's bus transfer ticket
06:42from the day of the assassination.
06:45There's got to be some connection
06:47in this neighborhood
06:47that would make sense going to.
06:50We've looked through all the information,
06:52and a declassified Secret Service document
06:56indicates that Oswald may have intended
06:58to take the 55 bus to get away,
07:01but it didn't add up for me.
07:03It went through a busy part of town,
07:05where Oswald could have easily been spotted,
07:07and it ended up at the Greyhound Station,
07:09which would have been crawling with police
07:12on the day of the assassination.
07:14After all of Oswald's training
07:16and careful planning,
07:17there's no way he would have allowed himself
07:20to be that exposed.
07:23I want to see if there's another bus route,
07:25closer to this safe house,
07:26that could have worked better for Oswald's getaway.
07:31Look at this.
07:33Very suburban.
07:36There's nothing here.
07:40Where else could he have gone?
07:45What's that over there?
07:48That is a bus stop.
07:51Half a block from a safe house.
07:54Get off a bus, you'd be inside within two minutes.
08:02The 515.
08:07There's two things I want to know.
08:09One, did this bus route exist in 1963?
08:13And if so, did Oswald's transfer work on this line?
08:19I'm going to see what I can find on this route here.
08:27Are you kidding me?
08:30Look at this route.
08:32It goes right to where Tippett was shot.
08:37And it looks like the 515 hasn't changed since 1963.
08:41It was called something else back then.
08:44But the route here is the same.
08:46The same transfer ticket in his pocket gets him on the 515.
08:52The 55 route, it's over that way, a couple of miles.
08:58But it doesn't provide the cover this place does.
09:01This is a country road back here.
09:04Yeah.
09:05Not traveled, not patrolled.
09:08And we're within two minutes of a safe house.
09:11So if he hadn't run into Tippett,
09:15my bet is he would have got on this bus.
09:17Coming out here.
09:19To my knowledge, no one's ever looked at this bus route before.
09:24Oswald killed Tippett one block away from a stop on this 515 route.
09:29If he gets on that bus, he could have gotten off only a block away from the safe house on
09:35Harlandale.
09:36A house we know he was seen at just before the assassination.
09:41Look, if Lee Harvey Oswald doesn't get arrested, this is the bus he would have taken, I'm convinced.
09:48I've always believed that a larger network was supporting Oswald's mission to kill Kennedy.
09:54Now, I believe we found evidence that could prove it.
10:04Bob Baer and Adam Bercovici believe they've uncovered new evidence suggesting Lee Harvey Oswald was working with a group of
10:11Cuban militants to murder JFK.
10:14And that these men were in Dallas to help him escape on the day of the assassination.
10:19If Lee Harvey Oswald doesn't get arrested, this is the bus he would have taken, I'm convinced.
10:25No one has ever seen this before.
10:28The team discovered a bus route they suspect Oswald planned to use for his getaway.
10:34A declassified Dallas Sheriff's report indicates that before the president's murder, Oswald visited a house along the escape route that
10:43belonged to Cuban men.
10:46Look at Adam, we're going as we always have with the evidence at hand.
10:52Official police documents, FBI, CIA.
10:56The bus transfer is the one piece of evidence that puts us in Oswald's mind how he intended to escape.
11:05And that's the 515 bus route.
11:08Whenever I'm working a case, I take everything into account before reaching any conclusions.
11:14For me, the bus route we found fits too perfectly not to take seriously.
11:20I've studied this case for years, and this is the kind of discovery I've been looking for.
11:25Look, here we go, Dealey Plaza shoots the president.
11:30Tippett shooting.
11:32Harlandale safe house.
11:34Look at that.
11:35The 515 bus route.
11:38You don't need to be a genius to figure this out.
11:41He could have gotten away had he made it to the Harlandale house.
11:45It's some place that he could go after killing the president.
11:49Now what we need to find out is who was at this house in Harlandale, and why did Oswald feel
11:56that he could hide with him.
11:57It's key to figuring out who his accomplices were.
12:08Take a look at that.
12:10Review of Dallas file reflects that the organization known as Alpha 66 held meetings during early 1963 at the residence
12:20of one Jorge Salazar, 315 Arlandale Street, Dallas, Texas.
12:26This is where Oswald was.
12:28He's going to an Alpha 66 safe house.
12:34Earlier in the investigation, we found declassified documents exposing a connection between Oswald and Alpha 66.
12:42We suspected they were working together, but this is incredible.
12:45This is Oswald in Dallas in the middle of a violent and motivated group who can help him murder the
12:52president.
12:54In the early 1960s, the CIA armed and militarized dozens of Cuban exile groups, training them to overthrow the Castro
13:03regime.
13:04In 1961, President Kennedy orders these men to invade the Bay of Pigs, nearly 120 miles from Havana, but then
13:12withdraws air support during the battle.
13:17Hundreds are killed and more than a thousand are taken prisoner.
13:20In the aftermath, part of Alpha 66, one of the most radical and violent Cuban groups, goes rogue.
13:28According to the House Select Committee on Assassinations, the leaders of Alpha 66 felt betrayed by JFK and threatened violence
13:37against the U.S. president.
13:40We've been looking for Oswald's accomplices.
13:44We found them.
13:47But what I want to know is what kind of network, how extensive was the Dallas network?
14:03My God, look at that.
14:04We have 300 plus results.
14:06300?
14:07That's like a battalion.
14:08Any one of these people could have helped Oswald.
14:11Yeah.
14:12We have to narrow that to see what's around the bus route.
14:16I'm going to take a look at a two-mile radius around the Harlandale House.
14:22Okay, here we have Jorge Salazar.
14:27We've got five other names here.
14:31All of these houses are all within a two-mile radius of the Harlandale House.
14:37That's way too much.
14:40Yeah. Yeah.
14:41Let's plot these on a map and see where they are in Dallas.
14:45I want to see if they're connected.
14:51The six addresses, they're all in a line.
14:55They are not scattered around an area in a circle of two-mile radius.
15:01What, I mean, what's going on here?
15:03I want to see these houses on the same map as the bus route.
15:09All right, here we have the bus route, 515.
15:13Here we have the safe houses.
15:16Let's overlay them.
15:23Look at this.
15:26Holy .
15:28Every single house is right on that bus route.
15:32It looks like we've uncovered a potential sleeper cell
15:35right in the heart of Dallas, active on the day of the assassination.
15:40The Warren Commission, the FBI, and the CIA all missed this,
15:45either because they wanted Oswald to look like a lone wolf
15:48or because they weren't sharing information with each other.
15:52Without documents from the Dallas police, the Secret Service, the FBI, and the CIA,
15:59this puzzle wouldn't have come together so clearly.
16:02I am now convinced that Oswald was tied up with Alpha 66 both before the assassination and in the hours
16:11afterwards.
16:12If we want to prove this working theory, we need more information.
16:16We have to find someone that can further corroborate Oswald's connection to Alpha 66.
16:21The team sets out to corroborate their explosive discovery in Dallas to find a source with inside information about Alpha
16:3066.
16:36Bob reaches out to his network and manages to track down a former Cuban intelligence officer who defected to the
16:43United States.
16:44The team is in Miami to try and arrange a face-to-face meeting.
16:48My colleague at the Defense Intelligence Agency found me a reputable source who might know something about Alpha 66.
16:58I'll do it at any time.
17:01For years, Cuban intelligence officers who have defected to the U.S. have lived by an unwritten code of silence.
17:08They simply don't talk about their work for fear that if they revealed classified information about the Cuban government, their
17:16lives would be at risk.
17:17He'll do it.
17:19I don't know what he's going to tell us, but the fact that he'll talk to us, he's got something
17:24to say.
17:26The former Cuban intelligence officer agrees to speak on camera with the investigation.
17:34Bob and Adam are picked up at a designated spot along the Miami River to deliver them to the meeting
17:40location.
17:41Hey, Bob?
17:42Yep.
17:44When I was in the CIA, I dealt with a lot of sensitive sources.
17:48Our Cuban source is following every rule I learned at the agency.
17:53To set a meeting where you're in control of every variable, it's classic tradecraft.
17:58You think that's him?
18:01Yeah.
18:04This is our guy.
18:05Let's go.
18:13Examining newly declassified government files, Bob and Adam believe they've uncovered new evidence suggesting Lee Harvey Oswald was working with
18:22a group of Cuban militants to murder JFK.
18:25And that these men were in Dallas to help him escape.
18:30I'm certain Oswald was working with Alpha 66.
18:33There's just too much evidence to ignore.
18:35But we need to corroborate everything we've discovered.
18:38We need someone with inside information.
18:42The team has managed to track down a former Cuban intelligence officer who's agreed to speak with the investigation.
18:54Enrique, Bob Baer.
18:56Nice to meet you, too.
18:57This is Adam.
18:58Nice to meet you.
18:59Thanks for coming out.
19:01Thank you for the opportunity for this conversation.
19:04I have to ask you, this is a very dangerous interview.
19:09Do you want your identity concealed?
19:14It's okay for me.
19:15I can say it in front of the camera.
19:17I can say it wherever.
19:19Why are you saying this?
19:20Because I know about the Cuban intelligence service, all the job they are doing against the United States, if we
19:29don't denounce it, Cuba never will change.
19:33You're doing it for Cuba?
19:34Yes, and I expect Cuba will be free one day, not far.
19:39Bob's contact reveals himself to be Enrique Garcia, a former Cuban intelligence officer who defected from Cuba to the United
19:48States in 1989.
19:51Let me tell you where we are.
19:53We've just come back from Dallas.
19:57We've been looking at the assassination, and what we keep on coming up with are Oswald's ties to Alpha 66.
20:07Before the assassination and after.
20:12My opinion.
20:13At this time, the early 60s, the Cuban intelligence service have deep penetration in several exiled organizations here in the
20:24U.S.
20:26Like Alpha 66.
20:28The chief of the operations in Alpha 66 were for Cuban intelligence.
20:44Exactly.
20:48Who, in fact, was not anti-Castro, was a double agent.
20:53Yes.
20:53That Alpha 66 guy reports back to Castro.
20:58Exactly.
21:02The anti-Castro Cubans had no secrets, effectively.
21:06No.
21:08That is a very sophisticated operation.
21:11Do you think Castro knew about the assassination attempt coming?
21:16100%.
21:19All along, we assumed that Oswald was working with anti-Castro militants, who turned on Kennedy because they felt he
21:28betrayed them after the Bay of Pigs.
21:31But if this new information is true, some members of Alpha 66 were double agents, reporting to Castro himself.
21:40Let's put ourselves in Castro's shoes for a minute.
21:44It makes sense that he's monitoring any exile group that's against him.
21:49If this same group is plotting to kill Kennedy, his sworn enemy, then he would almost certainly let them do
21:56the dirty work.
21:57His hands are clean.
21:59It makes perfect sense.
22:03Do you have any evidence that Castro knew about the assassination in advance?
22:10Yes.
22:12My friend on FPR, we worked together at the intelligence for Cuban intelligence.
22:20He was in 1863 at the Radio Country Intelligence in Cuba.
22:24They are in charge to have the control of all the internal communication for security in the United States.
22:33And the day of the Kennedy assassination, Aspiyaga told me he received order to move the radio antennas from Virginia
22:45to Dallas, Texas.
22:49Before Oswald shot Kennedy?
22:51Yes.
22:57Who gave those orders?
23:17I mean, do you realize what this means?
23:23There's only one reason why he would do it.
23:25Yeah.
23:25I mean, he knew.
23:29Do you think Castro ordered the assassination?
23:35I know Fidel was very happy with the assassination of Kennedy.
23:42I cannot confirm he ordered, but the order seems more terrible than this.
23:51If this is true, it changes everything we think we knew about the Kennedy assassination.
23:57After 54 years, we are finally getting close to the truth.
24:02All right.
24:03Thanks.
24:04I believe that members of Alpha 66 were working with Oswald and that they were reporting to Fidel Castro.
24:12And if that's true, Castro was aware of the plot to kill JFK in advance.
24:18Now I'm going to prove it.
24:27Bob and Adam have uncovered explosive evidence suggesting that Lee Harvey Oswald's possible accomplices, rogue members of a Cuban exile
24:36group called Alpha 66, were in fact double agents working for Fidel Castro all along.
24:43This could be the linchpin in breaking open this case.
24:48Enrique is a very credible source.
24:52He's offered good intel since he defected in 1989.
24:55And everything he said lines up with my knowledge of Cuban intelligence from my time with the CIA.
25:01We're not going to get a better source out of Cuba.
25:05Period.
25:06According to Enrique, Castro was listening on the morning of the assassination, intercepting radio transmissions from Dallas in anticipation of
25:15the president's murder.
25:16I want to prove it's possible.
25:19If we do, it only strengthens our theory that Alpha 66 was complicit in the assassination and worked directly with
25:28Oswald.
25:29To determine if Alpha 66 helped Castro eavesdrop from Cuba on the day of the assassination, Bob and his team
25:37will conduct a transmission simulation test, recreating the plan Bob believes Castro implemented in anticipation of the president's murder.
25:46In 1963, a police radio broadcast from Dallas would have emitted a low power, high frequency signal detectable only over
25:56short distances.
25:57In order for Castro to listen to Dallas radio on the day of the assassination, he would have required someone
26:04in Dallas to relay the signal, a job that Bob believes was carried out by members of Alpha 66.
26:11These men would have utilized a low frequency transmitter to boost the local signal to the Earth's upper atmosphere, where
26:19radio waves can reflect hundreds of miles, reaching a radio tower near Havana.
26:28To test Castro's potential plan, former Army Ranger Marty Scovelin joins Captain Don Abadiello in Miami.
26:36Don, good to see you again, buddy.
26:38Hey, brother.
26:39We're going to run a boat down to Cuba, as close as we can get.
26:42We can receive that transmission that Bob and Adam are going to send from Dallas.
26:46That's pretty heavy evidence that Castro could have been monitoring the entire assassination attempt.
26:51The Cuban government has denied access to the investigation.
26:55Instead, Marty departs Miami to travel in range of the radio tower that Enrique Garcia reports Fidel Castro used to
27:04eavesdrop on the day of the assassination.
27:08All right.
27:08So we're here.
27:10Havana's here.
27:11We'll take off from here.
27:12We'll follow the Keys around.
27:14We'll be in the Florida Straits.
27:15We're on international waters.
27:16So we're good all in here.
27:18Once we start getting close to Cuba Havana, do we have to worry about, like, their Coast Guard or anything
27:21like that?
27:22Um, they're there.
27:23We may run into something.
27:25We may not.
27:25But that's where they base out of.
27:27OK.
27:28We'll get the radio going.
27:29We'll do this test, and then we'll get out of there.
27:34Our visas got denied, so we don't have permission to be there.
27:38So we're going to go down there and sneak in.
27:41We need to be very careful with how we go about this.
27:43I don't want to cause an international incident.
27:55It says particularly sensitive area right there, so, uh, stay on our toes here.
28:05We're coming in close to Cuba here.
28:11You know, these radio towers should be somewhere right down in here.
28:15How much further do we got to go to where we can't go any further, do you think?
28:18We're getting there.
28:19We got a particularly sensitive area line we're crossing right about here.
28:26Oh, .
28:28Keep an eye on that boat over there.
28:31Grab a fishing rod.
28:32Just get it in your hand.
28:33Climb up there, grab a rod.
28:35This could be trouble.
28:37I don't know who they are.
28:40Your Spanish is good, right?
28:42Yeah, yeah, yeah.
28:43Hey, guys, we're just fishermen.
28:46Let's just keep the cameras down right now.
28:48I don't want to draw attention.
29:01According to testimony from a former Cuban intelligence officer on the day of the Kennedy assassination, hours before Lee Harvey
29:10Oswald pulled the trigger.
29:12Fidel Castro gave an order to his men in Cuba to intercept radio transmissions out of Dallas, evidence that suggests
29:20he expected the president's murder before it happened.
29:25Declassified documents link Oswald to a violent Cuban group called Alpha 66.
29:30We have a source that says the elements of Alpha 66, including its leader, were double agents working with Castro.
29:39He says that Castro knew what was about to happen.
29:42I want to put it to the test and prove that Castro could have been listening from Cuba in 1963.
29:47If I can, it will only fuel my belief that Oswald was working directly with Alpha 66 and that these
29:56accomplices were possibly backed by Castro himself.
30:00It will be explosive.
30:04Former Army Ranger Marty Scovelin is in international waters, getting in position to perform the test.
30:13Keep an eye on that boat over there.
30:16This could be trouble.
30:18Keep the cameras down right now.
30:19I don't want to draw attention.
30:20We're just fishermen.
30:21Your Spanish is good, right?
30:23Yeah, yeah, yeah.
30:25Hopefully they're friendly.
30:36Let's just get out of here.
30:37Everybody, hold on.
30:38I'm going to hit the drone.
30:39He's got it.
30:40Hold on, I'm done.
30:47All right, we got to get out of here.
30:50I have no idea if these guys were government officials or military of some sort, but I do know we
30:55need to be careful.
30:56If they send people out to apprehend us, they're going to get us and they're going to take us into
30:59custody.
31:01With the team no longer in sight of the boat, Marty makes the decision to continue their mission and instructs
31:08the captain to make a fast approach toward the location of the radio tower west of Havana, the original site
31:15where Castro's men reportedly intercepted American transmissions at the moment of the assassination.
31:22You think that's our tower there?
31:26That's got to be it.
31:28I don't see anybody around.
31:29Anybody chasing us?
31:32So far, so good.
31:34All right.
31:35I think we stop in here and let's do our business.
31:41Let's get the radio out.
31:42Let's get this thing going.
31:44To simulate the radio tower, Marty will utilize a low-frequency radio and a six-foot antenna.
31:51We got a shortwave radio here.
31:53Basically, what we got to do is point this radio out towards Dallas.
31:57Bob is going to transmit signals.
31:59We're going to see if we can pick it up here.
32:01All right.
32:02We got it.
32:02All right.
32:03All right.
32:04As Marty gets into position, 1,100 miles away, back in Dallas, Bob prepares to begin the transmission simulation test.
32:15Here's what we got here.
32:16This is a Motorola radio from the era 1963.
32:21Any spy worth his salt would have one of these radios.
32:24This antenna right here would have received police communications.
32:28The problem is this radio transmits a very short distance.
32:34What they would have needed is a long-range transmitter like this in order to relay the message 1,000
32:41miles away to Havana.
32:43When the test begins, Adam will be in position to broadcast a signal through a local police dispatch.
32:51He will air a broadcast reporting news from the day of the assassination over local Dallas airwaves.
32:58Bob, acting as a member of Alpha 66 in Dallas, will use his equipment to boost that signal to the
33:06Earth's upper atmosphere.
33:07From his position near Cuba, Marty will attempt to retrieve that signal, as Castro's radio tower would have in 1963.
33:18What we want to do is see if Marty can pick up the signal from this amateur radio in Havana.
33:24And that's key.
33:25That will prove Enrique's story that Castro was listening in to police communications that morning before the assassination.
33:33If it turns out that, in fact, they could have transmitted the police communications to Havana,
33:40we're right on the doorstep of the conclusion that Castro was complicit in the murder of the president of the
33:46United States.
33:49Hey, Marty.
33:50Uh, we got the set up here.
33:52What we're going to do is start transmitting the communications from that morning at 1230.
33:58Yeah, start sending it now.
33:59We're short on time.
34:00Let's do it.
34:01All right.
34:01Roger.
34:04With a long-range transmitter ready to go, Bob heads down to Dealey Plaza to listen in with a handheld
34:11radio,
34:12as many did on that fateful day in November.
34:18Bob?
34:19Hey, Adam.
34:19I'm ready to go whenever you are.
34:21In the next five seconds, start broadcasting the cops.
34:25Okay.
34:26Roger that.
34:28Five, four, three, two, and one.
34:36We bring you a special report on the arrival of President John F. Kennedy.
34:40The eyes of Texas and the nation are focused on Dallas.
34:44There we go.
34:45I can hear it.
34:47Here comes the President of the United States.
34:49There's a big cheer going up.
34:52And what a crowd.
34:57Come on, Bob.
35:02Nothing.
35:03And now the entire Main Street is completely filled from building to building with people.
35:09And the latter part of the motorcade has just passed.
35:12Here comes the rest of the motorcade.
35:24Hey, try, try twisting that.
35:28What a tremendous look.
35:30All right, stop, stop, stop.
35:36In Dallas, Bob is using 1960s era technology to try and relay a radio signal to Marty, who's
35:45in position in international waters off the coast of Cuba.
35:49They're trying to see if Castro could have intercepted local Dallas radio on the day of the Kennedy assassination.
36:04Hey, try, try twisting that.
36:11All right, stop, stop, stop.
36:12Closing the window on the opening cars.
36:15There are five, six, seven motorcycles still here in front of the 30 cars.
36:21Yeah, this is it.
36:22This is the transmission.
36:24Awesome.
36:24Yeah, we got it.
36:27Here comes the President of the United States.
36:32There are people absolutely looking from every window here in downtown Dallas.
36:36The crowd is absolutely going wild.
36:42There has been a shooting.
36:43I repeat, shooting at the motorcade in the downtown area.
36:49Marty?
36:50Bob, yeah, we got it.
36:53Amazing.
36:54Way to go.
36:57The fact that our transmission test was successful means Fidel Castro could have been listening live
37:04as our president was assassinated.
37:08It means that Lee Harvey Oswald could have been working with members of Alpha 66, as we suspected.
37:14Double agents who informed Castro about the plot beforehand.
37:20It brings to mind Barack Obama monitoring the Navy SEAL raid that ended in the death of Osama bin Laden.
37:29Castro could have had a front row seat to his enemy's demise.
37:35As Bob and Adam wrap up their investigation, they reunite in the war room to assess their findings.
37:43This is totally beyond coincidence.
37:47It's totally beyond conspiracy theories.
37:50This is evidence.
37:51And it was not followed up on.
37:54No.
37:54From day one of this investigation, I've always believed that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone shooter, but that he
38:02didn't act alone.
38:04Now, after piecing together evidence and talking to key witnesses, I firmly believe that we've proved that Oswald had accomplices.
38:13We are rewriting history here.
38:15There's no doubt about it.
38:16And it's going to be really hard for anybody who looks at this objectively to dismiss it.
38:22We found a series of independent witnesses, and every one of them is saying the same thing.
38:28Oswald did not act alone.
38:33A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on.
38:41Ideas have endurance without death.
38:46My fascination with the JFK assassination began decades ago, when I was still at the CIA, when I requested case
38:54files and I was told they went missing.
38:57Now, I feel like we found the answers I was after.
39:02Declassified documents paint a clear picture that begins when a 19-year-old Oswald attempts to defect to the Soviet
39:09Union, looking for communist allies.
39:20When the KGB rejects him, Oswald returns to the United States, angry but undeterred.
39:26He moves to New Orleans and seems to find his way into another communist front.
39:32I would very definitely say that I am a Marxist. That is correct.
39:37The underground movement of Cuban exiles.
39:40Within this group, I believe that Oswald found accomplices that would help him pull off the assassination.
39:48His collaborators, members of a group called Alpha 66, furious with Kennedy for abandoning their cause during the failed Bay
39:56of Pigs invasion.
39:58They're armed, bitter, ready to do violence.
40:02Oswald represented what the exile community seemed to want.
40:06To murder Kennedy.
40:08Yes.
40:09Eight weeks before the assassination, he leaves New Orleans and travels to Dallas, where a witness reports a meeting with
40:17Oswald and two Cuban radicals, who boast of his intentions to murder the president.
40:23This American, he's been telling us that the Cubans should have assassinated President Kennedy right after the Bay of Pigs,
40:31and they didn't have any guts to do it.
40:35From there, Oswald visits Mexico City, where he attempts to obtain a visa and relocate to Cuba.
40:42When he's denied, he openly threatens the president inside the Cuban embassy.
40:47Oswald stormed into the embassy and headed out saying, I'm going to kill Kennedy for this.
40:52This is incredible.
40:56On November 22nd, 1963, Oswald makes good on his promise to kill JFK.
41:06In the aftermath of the assassination, Oswald flees the school book depository and makes his way across town with a
41:14bus transfer ticket in his pocket.
41:16Everything we found suggests he intended to take the 515 southbound bus to get away.
41:23Along that route, we found multiple houses belonging to several members of Alpha 66, safe houses that Oswald could have
41:32used to hide out and escape capture.
41:35This is where Oswald was.
41:37He's going to an Alpha 66 safe house.
41:42Testimony from a Cuban intelligence officer tells us that members of that same group were working with Castro all along.
41:50Our radio tests confirmed that Castro could have been listening on the morning of the assassination, complicit to the crime
41:58of the century.
42:05But, questions still remain.
42:08Why was Oswald murdered only 48 hours after President Kennedy?
42:14Who was Jack Ruby?
42:17Who sent him to kill Lee Harvey Oswald?
42:21And what secrets did they want Lee Harvey Oswald to take to his grave?
42:29Who's behind the castle?
42:29Who's behind him?
42:29Who can see if he's behind him?
