00:02She's so good, right?
00:09Look at these trees.
00:12They're so gorgeous.
00:15You okay?
00:16Yes, I'm fine.
00:20Well, we're just trying to lock down investors right now,
00:23which, needless to say, is no lesson in humility.
00:26Michael pretty much has me out there with my hat in hand,
00:28singing for my supper.
00:30Well, it's your magazine.
00:32What did you expect?
00:33I know.
00:35And I'm happy to do the work,
00:36but I don't want people to see George and think of me.
00:41I want it to have its own identity.
00:44You think your father won his congressional seat solely on marriage?
00:48No.
00:50He capitalized on his charm, his magnetism, his father's good fortune,
00:57and then he used his platform to do good and to prove himself.
01:03Now, I know it's important to you that you be your own man,
01:06but, sweetheart, there are so many doors open to you.
01:11You don't have to build one and run through it just to say you did.
01:15Can we please not do this again?
01:17All I'm saying is,
01:20your last name doesn't need to be this albatross from which you need to escape.
01:25This is why I wish you to seek out Maurice's advice more.
01:28Yes, but I have spoken with him.
01:31He's always going to be there for you.
01:34Why are you saying it like that?
01:35Well, I just mean you ought to take advantage of his counsel.
01:40Oh, let's just get Caroline and head home, shall we?
01:45The last thing I need is to give them a shot of me catching my breath while withering away.
01:51I'll go on another day and spring.
01:53Stow used to sell the payments.
01:55Oh, please.
01:56You could walk down Fifth Avenue in a bunny costume and people would be like,
02:00Oh, where did you get that suit?
02:03There'd be models walking down runways hopping, actually.
02:06Oh, stop.
02:06Cotton tails, the whole thing.
02:08Please don't make me laugh.
02:11I'm sorry.
02:12You okay?
02:13Yes, yes, I'm fine.
02:15It's a good kind of pain.
02:18Sure you don't want to keep walking?
02:20No.
02:21No, I'm actually quite hungry.
02:23Good, good.
02:24And appetite's a good sign.
02:31Thank you, Tony.
02:35Whoa.
02:36Looks like a greenhouse in here.
02:37Would you like me to bring them up?
02:39Yes, please, Tony.
02:41You're in my reflections.
02:43Michael Jackson?
02:44Mom secured his book deal.
02:45Hmm.
02:49Daryl?
02:50Thought we'd all been shunned after dog ate.
02:54It's quite magnanimous of her.
02:56You always have such nice things to say after they're gone.
02:58I'm just still trying to imagine what everyone on that flight must have been thinking when they saw you with
03:02those ashes.
03:03Why do you think I'm trying to get my pilot's license?
03:05Alrighty, I gotta go.
03:07Okay.
03:07Sure you don't want a hand with this?
03:08No, I'm good. Thank you.
03:09Okay.
03:10Just take the vultures with you when you go, will you?
03:12Okay.
03:14Did you want to take the service entrance, Mr. Kennedy?
03:16No, I'm good.
03:27Come on.
03:28Walk faster.
03:29We're almost there.
03:29I'm trying.
03:30Make sure I don't hit anything.
03:33Oh, my God.
03:36You ready?
03:37Yeah, I guess.
03:40New York, eat your fucking heart out.
03:43Holy shit.
03:45I feel like I'm hallucinating.
03:49Jesus, you can really see my dick, huh?
03:51Yeah, it's better than the alternative.
03:53Should we linger?
03:54See if anyone notices you?
03:56I can't believe you made that happen for me.
03:57Just put your head shut in a mile.
04:03Take your photo.
04:06Come on.
04:07Oh, wait.
04:08I want you to be in with me.
04:08No, no, no.
04:09This is your moment.
04:10Go.
04:16Smile.
04:18Good job.
04:20Should we have gotten a doggy pound?
04:22For what?
04:24Clean my plate.
04:26I asked if I could have a fry and you stated unequivocally
04:28I could have as many as I wanted.
04:32Well, that's because you didn't necessarily give me a choice.
04:36We got the check, right?
04:38Do you have somewhere you have to be?
04:40No, I just...
04:41I don't have any cash on me, so...
04:46What?
04:49Of all the gin joints.
04:54I'm a sucker for a laminate venue.
04:58John, this is my friend Michael.
05:01Nice to meet you.
05:02Nice to meet you.
05:04I see you got a new bike.
05:05I did, yeah.
05:07I reported the last one stolen, but the case has gone cold.
05:10And yet still no walk.
05:13Well, you know, baby steps.
05:14Maybe we start with a helmet and work our way up from there.
05:16Over this set of hair?
05:18I don't think so.
05:20John, I got your order ready.
05:22Thanks, Joe.
05:23You got it.
05:25It's nice to see you.
05:26It's nice to see you, too.
05:29And, um...
05:30I'm thinking about your mom.
05:34I appreciate that.
05:37Nice to meet you, Mike.
05:39See you.
05:41See you around.
05:45Uh, so what's... what's up for the rest of the day?
05:53So we're just gonna ignore that just happened?
05:55Mmm, catch up on your face.
06:09Mmm, catch up on your face.
06:11Ooh, you haunt me with reveries of days gone by.
06:49What are you doing?
06:53I don't need my personal correspondence memorialized in the Smithsonian.
06:57You don't need to do that, Mom.
06:59I can see that those letters are locked away and sealed.
07:02I don't want them to be preserved, publicly or privately.
07:06There's a reason no one likes to read the fine print.
07:09It takes all the fun out of it.
07:12Is there a reason why you're doing this now?
07:15Well, unlike you, I don't like to put things off until the last minute.
07:20Ooh, speaking of...
07:23How's your love life?
07:24I'm not prying, I'm just genuinely curious.
07:30I guess you could say I'm in kind of a transition period.
07:35Somehow, in an effort not to upset anybody, I've upset everyone.
07:40One person in particular who is...
07:43She's special.
07:44Well, confrontation's never been your strong suit.
07:48And have I read about this special person?
07:54No.
07:56And frankly, that's part of the appeal.
07:58She's not interested in that.
08:01She seems to know who she is.
08:04And when she looks at me, I can tell that she knows that...
08:07I don't.
08:10Know who you are.
08:14You know, I remember the first night your father and I spent at the White House.
08:20He turned to me and he said,
08:23Can you believe where we are?
08:25And I said, of course I can.
08:28How do you think we got here?
08:30In some ways, our life together was more of a realization of my dream than his.
08:37Not that I ever imagined myself in the White House.
08:40But your father, well, he could have been happy sailing or riding his whole life.
08:46But I, for whatever reason...
08:51Well, I always knew I was bound for a different life than everyone else.
08:57Something more.
09:00I've been reading some of the tributes.
09:05Why are you saying it like that?
09:07Well, absent of past tense, they're essentially obituaries.
09:13Well, isn't it nice to be around?
09:16So you can read it? See how much you mean to people?
09:18It's not the adulation I question.
09:23It's where it stems from, how it came to be.
09:26I can't help but sometimes wonder how I'd be remembered if I hadn't...
09:36If I wasn't...
09:39What?
09:41America's widow.
09:46That's not to say I'm not moved by the outpouring of love, it's just that...
09:52Well, pathos and recognition are two very, very, very different things.
09:58You really believe that that's what this is?
10:02Pity?
10:05It's not that.
10:08I think the world thought that we went through something together that would happen in Dallas.
10:14Happened to all of us.
10:17You once told me that you had no choice but to go on after what happened.
10:21That anybody would.
10:23But you're wrong.
10:25You did have a choice.
10:33We grew up in people's living rooms.
10:36They feel like they know us, that we're a part of their family.
10:41Which is why whenever we do anything unseemly or at odds with their perception of us, they lash out with
10:49an even greater fervor.
10:50Because in their minds, we don't exist without them.
10:57The public's always holding a flower in one hand and a stone in the other.
11:04Don't forget that.
11:24Each evening, from December to December, before you drift to sleep upon your cot,
11:35think back on all the tales that you remember.
11:40of Camelot.
11:45Ask every person if he's heard the story.
11:50And tell it strong and clear if he has not.
11:55That once there was a fleeting wisp of glory.
12:00For Camelot.
12:06Camelot.
12:08Camelot.
12:24Where once it never rained till after sundown.
12:30By eight a.m. the morning fog had flown.
12:35Don't let it be forgot.
12:37Don't let it be forgot.
12:38That once there was a spot.
12:41For one brief shining moment.
12:44That was known as them all.
12:51That was known as them all.
13:08That was known as them all.
13:15Thank you for meeting me.
13:20I feel like we're treating state secrets.
13:27You know, I got jumped in a park once.
13:30What?
13:31I was like 15, riding my bike to a tennis lesson.
13:33This guy just socked me, jacked my bike and took off.
13:35What is it with you and bikes?
13:37Didn't you have secret service?
13:39I did, but my mom always insisted that they kept their distance.
13:42She hated the idea of me moving through life like a coddled prince with a god complex.
13:47Hey, she still lets you rollerblade.
13:49Probably because they're harder to steal than a bike.
13:51Yeah, she used to love to send me to work on ranches, fishing boats, wilderness survival trips.
13:56She was always very keen on me being a real man.
13:59Whatever that means.
14:01She was probably scared she was going to mess you up.
14:04And that she wasn't enough.
14:06She wanted you to feel more shortchanged than you already were.
14:09How is it that you have more insight into my family than my family?
14:13No, I just know there's no greater force on earth than that of a single mom.
14:19You'd think with twice the responsibility they'd get graded on a curve, but they're just forced to grin and bear
14:24it.
14:25The world dictated by the men who failed them.
14:27You feel like your dad failed your mom?
14:31I feel like you've healed a lot of people.
14:35But how is she doing your mom?
14:40I can tell she's scared.
14:43Which, I mean, I always knew there'd come a point where I'd have to take care of her.
14:46But she's 64, you know?
14:48She's a survivor.
14:49That's what she does.
14:50She survives.
14:50Yeah.
14:55But think of all the lives she's lived in 64 years.
15:03I wish she could meet her.
15:05She'd love you.
15:10Sorry.
15:11No, I'm sorry.
15:12Sorry.
15:15I should probably go.
15:18Yeah.
15:27Why did you want to meet, though?
15:28I mean, you've got, like, tons of friends and family.
15:34I know.
15:35You're just the person I wanted to see.
15:39What about, uh...
15:41Daryl?
15:41Yeah.
15:42She's back in LA.
15:44Indefinitely, it seems.
15:48You don't have to walk me home in five minutes from here.
15:52I'll take the five minutes.
15:54That's all right with you.
15:55And the belts with Sharpie.
15:56And no one noticed.
15:57Oh, no, no.
15:58Rave reviews across the board.
16:03I should go.
16:05Yeah, I wouldn't want to keep an underwear model waiting either.
16:07They must get very hungry.
16:09Did you look them up or something?
16:10No, I looked up at them.
16:11All 50 feet.
16:13We're friends.
16:14No one is just friends with an underwear model.
16:18They're basically sex symbols for trade.
16:20This coming from people's sexiest man alive.
16:22Oh, that's different.
16:24How?
16:25Well, I'm not on a billboard in Times Square in my tighty-whities.
16:28Yeah, you're just shirtless everywhere else.
16:32Well, I'm happy for you and your budding friendship.
16:36Everyone needs a broad, muscular shoulder to cry on.
16:39It's good.
16:41It's good.
16:41No!
16:46Exactly.
16:49Come on.
16:50Come on.
16:55Come on.
17:09Do you still want to be a teacher when you grow up?
17:13I want to be a photographer.
17:15A photographer? You do? Since when?
17:19Do you know that Grandma used to be a photographer when she was a young girl?
17:24For a newspaper and everything.
17:26Do you want to hold my baby, Grandma?
17:29Oh, yes, I do. The baby with all the jewels.
17:35Sweetheart, why don't you hold the baby and I'll go get her a blanket, yes?
17:46Grandma!
17:49Mommy!
17:54Mom? Mom?
17:56Eugene!
17:58Mommy! Mom! Eugene, call 911. Mommy, wait, no.
18:03Mom! Mom!
18:17Make sure the hospital knows to register her under an alias.
18:26It's okay, Mom. It's going to be okay.
18:35It's okay, Mom. It's going to be okay.
18:36Watch it! Watch it!
18:38We were optimistic, because the scans showed the cancer had dissipated from your chest and stomach.
18:44But it does appear to have spread to your brain and spinal cord.
18:48At this point, we recommend a much more aggressive treatment.
18:52Can you pass my bag, please?
18:54Can you pass my bag, please?
19:04Um, one in which we would drill a hole into your brain and insert a shunt.
19:10That would allow the fluid to build up the brain and redirecting other things to the brain.
19:15So, I think it's going to allow it to happen.
19:40I think it's going to allow it to make sure it's going to make sure it's going to make sure
19:45it's going to make sure it's going to make sure it's going to make sure it's going to make sure
19:45it's going to make sure it's going to make sure it's going to make sure it's going to make sure
19:45it's going to make sure it's going to make sure it's going to make sure it's going to make sure
19:46it's going to make sure it's going to make sure it's going to make sure it's going to make sure
19:46it's going to make sure it's going to make sure it's going to make sure it's going to make sure
19:46it's going to make sure it's going to make sure it's going to make sure it's going to make sure
19:46it's going to make sure it's going to make sure it's going to make sure it's going to make sure
19:46it's going to make sure it's going to make sure it's going to make sure it's going to make sure
19:46it's going to make sure
19:46How much longer do you think we have?
19:48I mean, roughly, what's the general time frame for someone at this stage?
19:53It can vary significantly.
19:55Okay. Thank you.
20:08Should we call Aunt Lee?
20:11That could go a lot of different ways.
20:13Yeah, maybe we should call Anthony first.
20:15Yeah.
20:24What is it, Nancy? What's wrong?
20:27She asked to see Monsignor Barnes.
20:30No.
20:30Why?
20:30It's what she wants.
20:31What?
20:34Why are we acting like this is happening right now?
20:36I mean, I know her time is limited, but that doesn't mean we just give up.
20:40Nancy, do not call him. I'm gonna go talk to her.
20:42John, please. She wants to do this while she is still lucid and we can't fault her for that.
21:10Would you like to give me your confession now?
21:13No.
21:21Forgive me, Father.
21:23Forgive me, Father.
21:24For I have sinned.
21:32Forgive me, Father.
21:36For I have sinned.
21:42There was supposed to be the both of us that day and Alice.
21:51But I couldn't move.
21:54I froze.
21:58Oh, and I was so, so mad at him.
22:04All he put me through, all the women.
22:10But I always protected him.
22:14Always.
22:16Even after he died.
22:21And I sat down with that journalist, and I gave him the fairytale.
22:41There will never be another Camelot.
22:53And I want him to know.
23:01I forgive him.
23:08Jack.
23:26It is glory to have been tested, to have had our little quality, cast our little spell.
23:34The thing is to have made somebody care.
23:38You happen to be crazy, of course.
23:41But that doesn't affect the law.
23:45A second chance.
23:47That's the delusion.
23:50It was never meant to be but one.
23:53We work in the dark.
23:56We do what we can.
23:59We give what we have.
24:02Our debt is our passion.
24:04Our passion is our debt.
24:06I'm sorry.
24:10I'm sorry.
24:12I'm sorry.
24:12What?
24:15What are you talking about?
24:18All this.
24:22It's just...
24:25Just for an idea.
24:35Oh, sweetheart.
24:36Oh, my God.
24:41Oh, my God.
25:11Oh, my God.
25:17Oh, my God.
25:46Oh, my God.
25:56Oh, my God.
26:42Last night, at around 10.15, my mother passed on.
26:47She was surrounded by her friends and her family and her books and the people and the things she loved.
26:53And she did it in her own way.
26:56And we all feel lucky for that.
26:59And now she's in God's hands.
27:12I will never understand it.
27:17What's that?
27:20Why we have to put on a brave face for them.
27:28Thank you so much for coming.
27:30I really, really appreciate it.
27:39John.
27:39John.
27:41Hi.
27:45I'm so sorry.
27:47I tried to get on an earlier flight and then everything was booked and then they lost my luggage and
27:51it was a whole...
27:51I didn't even know you were coming.
27:52Of course.
27:53She was your whole world.
27:55I meant to the wake.
27:56I figured I'd see you at the funeral, but how did you know that...
27:58Look, whatever happened between your mother and I, it doesn't matter.
28:02Life is too short and I know how much she meant to you.
28:05Is there a code check?
28:07Oh, I'll just go put it in your room.
28:13It would have meant so much to her for you two to have traveled so far to be here today.
28:18Thank you so much.
28:19I still remember that trip she took with your father to Paris.
28:22Do you have any idea how elegant, how proficient someone has to be to impress the French?
28:27I was at a party at the Prince's Palace of Monaco and someone asked Princess Grace what it was like
28:32to be the most glamorous woman in the world.
28:34And you know what she said?
28:36You'll have to ask Jackie O.
28:37Of course.
28:39You know my Uncle Teddy.
28:41Glad to meet you, Senator Kennedy.
28:43All we've been is very capable, I answer.
28:45Sir, nice to meet you.
28:48I need your answer.
28:52There you are.
28:54I think you might have disappeared.
28:56No, no, I've just been running around.
28:58How are you feeling?
29:00I don't know.
29:02I haven't had a lot of time to process it.
29:03I think.
29:04Yeah.
29:05And grief is weird that way.
29:07It kind of sneaks up on you and all you can do is succumb to it, you know?
29:11Like when I lost Hank.
29:13Sorry about that.
29:14I mean, yes, he was a dog, but he was also like my child.
29:18Yeah.
29:19Of course everyone keeps trying to find out what's going on with us.
29:22Like in what capacity I'm here.
29:24People are asking you about our relationships to us at my mother's wake.
29:28I mean, not explicitly, but like...
29:30We haven't spoken in months, so...
29:32Exactly.
29:33There's a lot that remains unsaid.
29:36Hey, Nancy, have you seen Caroline?
29:38I think she just needed a minute.
29:40I'm going to go check on my sister, but I'll talk to you later.
29:45Of course.
29:58Hey, sorry.
30:00It's okay.
30:02I know it's crazy out there.
30:10I don't think anyone out there has said one thing about her that I'm going to miss.
30:14I'm not going to miss her poise or her love for the written word.
30:17It's like they're all afraid to admit she was just a person.
30:21Like somehow acknowledging even the slightest imperfection would somehow discount their proximity to her.
30:30Remember when she found your weed plant in the garden at Hyannis?
30:36She didn't find it.
30:37A police officer found it.
30:38Oh my god, that's right.
30:40What was he doing wandering around the garden at Hyannis?
30:42I don't know.
30:43I think a neighbor probably reported it.
30:45I thought our neighbors loved us.
30:47Didn't you tell her it was a zucchini?
30:50Parsley.
30:51Zucchini?
30:51She was so mad.
30:53Her voice dropped into that really scary octave.
30:58Caroline, marijuana?
30:59How could you?
31:00And in my garden, a botanical sanctuary.
31:03You had a real rebellious streak going there for a little while.
31:08Missed those days.
31:13I think I was just trying to find ways to tell her I was never going to be like her.
31:18Well, I for one.
31:20I'm glad you didn't.
31:21Otherwise, I'd be missing out on someone really special.
31:27Okay.
31:28You should go back.
31:31I think I'll overheard one of your cousins asking if someone knows I'll play forever.
31:34Jacque on the piano.
31:37We'll be up in a second.
31:38Okay.
31:54So we're going to be right back.
32:03Oh, my God.
32:38Oh, my God.
33:03We are on to keep you apprised of the funeral arrangements for Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.
33:09Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, of course, died on Thursday night around 10.15 in her home.
33:13She had asked to be returned to her apartment on the Upper East Side.
33:16Everybody over 10 years old in 1963 remembers her with the greatest gratitude
33:21because it was her strength that carried us through that awful, awful November of 1963.
33:28That was also the first time anything like this had ever been seen on television.
33:32Really is a national communion of sorts, a cathartic experience for many people.
33:37And, uh, the eulogy to be delivered by Senator Edward Kennedy.
33:41No one else looked like her, spoke like her, wrote like her, or was so original in the way she
33:50did things.
33:51No one we knew ever had a better sense of self.
33:55Her two children turned out to be extraordinary, honest, unspoiled, with a character equal to hers.
34:03She reveled in their accomplishments.
34:06She hurt with their sorrows.
34:08She felt sheer joy and delight in spending time with them.
34:12They are her two miracles.
34:16I often think of what she said about Jack in December after he died.
34:21They made him a legend when he would have preferred to be a man.
34:26Jackie would have preferred to be just herself, but the world insisted that she be a legend too.
34:44Dear John, I understand the pressures you will always have to face as a Kennedy, even though we brought you
34:52into this world as an innocent.
34:55You, more than anyone, have a place in history.
34:58No matter what path you blaze in life, all I ask is that you continue to make Caroline, the Kennedy
35:07family, and most importantly, yourself proud.
35:13Stay close to those who know you and love you as you are.
35:19Oh, my love, Mommy.
35:31Oh, my love, Mommy.
35:58From this world.
36:03From this world.
36:06From this world.
36:07I've got a free world.
36:10This world.
36:14OK.
36:15Oh, my God.
36:58Oh, my God.
37:27Oh, my God.
37:47Oh, my God.
38:23Oh, my God.
