00:19Friends, friends, we meet here today, not as Ghanaians,
00:30Guineans, Moroccans, Aegeans, Senegalese, or Malians, but as Africans, tired of being disrespected
00:42and abused by the corrupt and imperial powers of the past, the time has come to forge new
00:51alliances, those who understand the strategic importance of Africa and are willing to treat
00:59us as equals, not as subordinates, and not as slaves.
01:07This is our time.
01:11We must choose our own destiny, a socialist Africa for Africans.
01:44We've definitely seen better days, ma'am.
01:46We'll send in the foresters to the end of the season and fill it back.
01:49Yes.
01:50The old oak, she's still hanging on, just about.
01:53Oh, but she looks so old, ancient.
01:56Well, she will have to be felled in New Cross.
01:58What is she?
01:59Looks like it's set in for the day.
02:00Do you remember my grandson Daniel, ma'am?
02:03Yes, of course.
02:05Oh, is that his christening?
02:06That's right.
02:08We ought to head back, ma'am.
02:10Get rid of his brain.
02:11Right.
02:12Or go get a job lead.
02:14Change his package.
02:15What again?
02:18Can I help, ma'am?
02:19Oh.
02:24Oh.
02:25Oh.
02:26Oh.
02:27Oh.
02:27Oh.
02:28Oh.
02:29Oh.
02:29Oh.
02:31Oh.
02:36Oh.
02:49At the 그러니까 palace, the ceremonial guard awaited Mr Kennedy's arrival.
02:53It has pleased the french that he came to Paris before going to Vienna
02:57to meet Mr Khrushchev.
02:58When is it, if you think, if one's committed to a life of honesty,
03:02that one must start calling oneself middle-aged?
03:06Oh, stop it. You're still a young girl.
03:10I caught sight of myself in a mirror today.
03:12I looked like an old woman.
03:14You haven't even finished having children yet.
03:18True.
03:19So, finish your family.
03:21Let the first one go to school.
03:23And then let's talk about being middle-aged.
03:25Well, that won't be middle-aged. That'll be ancient.
03:30Oh, no, no.
03:32Not again.
03:37Mummy, be careful.
03:38No, stop it. It's rented.
03:44No.
03:46Oh, no, yes, you've got it.
03:48Well done.
03:49This macaroni and cheese is heavenly.
03:54So, weekend's been heavenly.
03:57Sadly, I have to leave in the morning.
03:59Where's the floor?
04:02They're coming to dinner.
04:03In Kennedy's?
04:04After Vienna with Khrushchev, then Paris, they're coming to London.
04:08So, we're having an informal dinner at Buckingham Palace.
04:12She's so young.
04:13I always thought she was the same age as you.
04:15She is.
04:19Oh, no.
04:25Oh, no, no, look.
04:26There she is.
04:26She was talking about the charm and elegance of Mr. Kennedy's wife, Jackie.
04:30Jackie, in fact, often stole the picture.
04:34It's beautiful.
04:35It's beautiful.
04:36It's beautiful.
04:36It's charming.
04:38It's beautiful.
04:39It's beautiful.
04:39It's beautiful.
04:40It's beautiful.
04:40She is pretty, isn't she?
04:42Yes.
04:45It's beautiful.

07:18Who flew to Ghana for talks about Nkrumah's precious dam project?
07:22The Walter Dam?
07:23Yes, ma'am.
07:24But I thought Nkrumah had been talking to the Americans about that.
07:27He had been.
07:28But Russia sees this as an opportunity.
07:30To outbid the Americans, get a foothold in Africa,
07:33in an attempt to turn the whole continent red.
07:37Well, shouldn't we ask the Americans to improve their offer?
07:40I will certainly speak to President Kennedy as soon as he arrives in London.
07:43Oh, good.
07:45Following his great triumph in Paris.
07:48Indeed.
07:49I thought de Gaulle didn't care for Mr. Kennedy.
07:52No, he doesn't.
07:52Personally or politically.
07:54So what turned it all around?
07:56The First Lady, ma'am.
08:00Why?
08:01What did she do?
08:02Dazzled Le Tou Paris.
08:03Had President de Gaulle eating out of her hand.
08:07How on earth did she do that?
08:09By speaking French fluently.
08:11Yes, we can all do that.
08:12And by debating with local philosophers and intellectuals
08:16until all anti-American sentiments simply evaporated.
08:19I suppose she is prissy.
08:23And they are French.
08:25She's so formidably bright woman in her own right,
08:28having studied at the Sorbonne
08:30and the prestigious École Libre des Sciences Politiques.
08:34The most glamorous and intelligent woman on earth.
08:39So they say.
08:42And now she's coming to London.
08:45So we better put our best foot forward,
08:47anyway, Prime Minister.
08:50Your Majesty.
08:55Always important, I think, when choosing a gown
08:58is to ask oneself what precisely one wants to feel when wearing it.
09:04Hmm.
09:05I just think that one doesn't want to feel
09:08second best.
09:09Quite.
09:11Especially if one is very much the senior of the two individuals.
09:15Oh, no.
09:15In terms of rank, not age.
09:19To that end, I have something quite specific in mind.
09:23Mrs. Kennedy may have dazzled in Paris,
09:25but let's not forget France is a republic.
09:30This is a monarchy.
09:32And if you've got it, flaunt it, I say.
09:52I had a look at the season plan for dinner,
09:54and I couldn't help noticing.
09:55Breathe in, Mum.
09:57I'm going to make you run.
09:58Just a bit more.
09:59You gave Mrs. Kennedy to Uncle Dickie.
10:02There.
10:02Yes, I did.
10:03At his request, he's been badgering me for weeks.
10:06As, incidentally, as your brother-in-law.
10:09Bertolt?
10:10Yes.
10:10The rascal.
10:11Not to mention our own Prime Minister and the American Ambassador.
10:15Well, well, well.
10:16All desperate to sit next to the First Lady.
10:20I could let her out a bit, Mum.
10:24No.
10:25What if I'm requesting her, too?
10:27I'll put you next to Theodora.
10:29She's my sister.
10:30Yes, whom we haven't seen in years.
10:32No, she's still my sister.
10:34And this is...
10:34You know.
10:36No, I don't know.
10:38Her?
10:40Anyway, in terms of protocol,
10:41isn't it my right, as your husband,
10:43to sit next to the most senior female there?
10:46It's true.
10:46At estate dinner,
10:47you could have expected to sit next to the most senior female guests.
10:50But on this occasion,
10:52Downing Street of Arse just begged us not to make it a state dinner.
10:56Why?
10:57So as not to put French noses out of joint.
10:59What's it got to do with the bloody French?
11:01Well, apparently de Gaulle will resist us joining the EEC
11:04if he thinks we're too close to the Americans.
11:07So it's a small, informal dinner.
11:10Oh, fine.
11:10And then it's a free-for-all, seating-wise.
11:12Yes, I suppose it is.
11:14In which case, I could go take a notice of my sister
11:16and put myself next to the First Lady.
11:19If you must.
11:21Where?
11:24I must.
11:28I must.
11:46Thank you, gentlemen.
12:00The President and First Lady are arriving, ma'am.
12:03Oh.
12:05There you are.
12:17Is it possible to think you could be marginally less excited?
12:21No.
12:27Porchie, what on earth is going on?
12:31There we go, man.
12:49Mr. President.
12:50Hello.
12:50Oh, Her Majesty's waiting for you in the blue droid.
12:58There will be a brief reception before dinner, sir.
13:01Fantastic.
13:02Is Matt hysteria?
13:03Extraordinary behaviour.
13:05Can't you explain?
13:09Done.
13:11For goodness sake.
13:13Come on, it's like royalty.
13:14Well, very funny.
13:21Oh, my gosh.
13:30President first, President first.
13:33Your Majesty.
13:35No curtsy.
13:36No curtsy.
13:37Mrs. Kennedy.
13:39Your Grace.
13:41Your Royal Highness.
13:43Mrs. Kennedy.
13:45Good evening, Your Royal Majesty.
13:48Oh, dear.
13:49Oh, for goodness sake.
13:51Mr. President.
13:54Mr. President.
13:56Your Grace.
13:57Did they not get the protocol sheet?
13:59Yes.
14:00You obviously didn't read it.
14:02Yes, well.
14:03Shall we?
14:05Ah, Jackie.
14:08Where do you think she's going?
14:10Lord knows.
14:16I feel like that went wrong in about 10,000 different ways.
14:20I've seen worse.
14:21But I'm not sure when.
14:25Let's drink.
14:27Please.
14:28Sorry, sir.
14:30Bloody shabbles.
14:44My heart goes out to him.
14:47Where does the behind closed doors over here?
14:49Khrushchev humiliate.
14:51Ran ring through.
14:53Treated him like a little boy.
14:54Oh, no.
14:55Let's do it.
14:55One of the Cold War countries.
14:56It's too many.
14:57She's very good.
14:59It's too many.
15:01Don't mind wrong.
15:03You're so-
15:07Just doll.
15:28Oh
15:30How was she oh terrific she's divine
15:35She
15:37Frightfully clever
15:39What are you doing? She wants a tour of the place. Does she? Well, then I'll do it. You know,
15:46it's all right. She asked me
15:47No, it's my house, so I'll do it
15:59You okay there, I hope my wife isn't causing too much trouble
16:06Do you know you're the luckiest man?
16:12Yes
16:17Although people keep telling me the same thing
16:25Where are they going? I have absolutely no idea
16:32Now this is the throne room in the early years of Queen Victoria's reign
16:37Various balls and concerts were held here
16:40But now it's principally used for receptions and vestiges and taking over all wedding photographs
16:51Shall we?
16:53Now this is the picture gallery
16:56This is my great great great great grandfather George III and he bought Buckingham house in
17:031761 for his wife Queen Charlotte
17:07Who's this?
17:09Ah, that's one of the pits
17:11The younger
17:13Known for something that's always rather endeared me to him
17:17Crippling shyness
17:19Apparently he could barely look people in the eye
17:23And yet he became our prime minister
17:26I quite understand
17:29I'm also a shy person by nature
17:39This leads to our private apartments
17:45It's a shortcut
17:50This is about as private as it gets in this place
17:54It's where one feels most comfortable
17:56Oh, I quite understand
17:59You have to have somewhere to escape to
18:03I've often wondered how someone who hates attention as much as I do
18:07Ended up in a goldfish bowl like the White House
18:12But I realize there's actually a perverse logic to a cripplingly shy person ending up in this position
18:17Well, you have to explain that one to me
18:20Well, a shy person will seek out someone strong to protect them
18:25Yes, I'm with you so far
18:27And his strong character is often one who enjoys public life
18:32Thrives on it
18:34And then before you know it
18:36The very person you have turned to in order to protect you is the very reason you are exposed
18:44Jack's idea of heaven is a crowd
18:47Campaigning, fundraising, speech-making
18:50That's when he comes alive
18:52He'd far sooner speak to ten thousand people under the glare of spotlights than
18:58Be alone
19:00With me
19:07And what's your idea of heaven?
19:11I like my own company
19:13And to be alone in the countryside
19:15And where do you go?
19:18A farm
19:19Glenora, about an hour from Washington
19:21Maryland
19:23Virginia
19:24Oh yes
19:27Ah
19:31Hello, stupid
19:33They're eating
19:34Yes, ma'am
19:35Oh, goodness
19:38Hey little puppies
19:40What's your name?
19:41Well, that's sugar
19:43And these are our puppies
19:45Come here, come here
19:47Whiskey and sherry
19:48Hello
19:51Oh, you're very clever to be cautious
19:54Oh, it's really one of the great paradoxes of being in a position where I have to talk to a
20:00great many people
20:01But deep down, I'm happiest with animals
20:04That makes two of us
20:08I always think my sister would have made, if not the better, the more natural first lady
20:14Oh, mine too
20:15A born queen
20:18And the greatest of British queens, in her own mind anyway
20:30You know, I liked her very much
20:32And I've been all set to loathe her
20:34But in the end, I was utterly charmed
20:38It's a timely reminder
20:39Of what?
20:41That people are so rarely what they seem
20:43Well, then I don't know what Patrick was talking about
20:45Patrick?
20:46Plunkett, I saw him last night at Tartuffe
20:48No, is that a restaurant?
20:49It's a play, dear
20:51A very famous French play
20:52Oh, I knew that
20:53Did you?
20:54Yes, it's a classic tragedy
20:56Farce?
20:57By Poisson
20:58Moulier
20:59Pierre Sereau was a painter
21:04When was the last time you even went to the theatre?
21:06Or gallery?
21:08Or even read a book?
21:10Oh, you're a savage
21:11Oh, thank you
21:13What about Patrick?
21:15Well, Patrick had dinner at the Radsevilles last week
21:19Well, your new best friend, Mrs. Kennedy, was also a guest
21:23He called me this morning to tell me some of the things you'd overheard her say at dinner
21:28Oh, what did she say?
21:29You'd have to ask Patrick
21:32I must say, it did seem a little unkind
21:34You know how reported speech gets twisted in the retailing
21:39I'm quite sure it was nothing
21:40Don't worry
21:51Don't worry
21:52General Solomon!
21:53Retail!
21:55Up!
21:58Shoulder!
22:00Up!
22:03Order!
22:04Up!
22:12Patrick!
22:13Your Majesty!
22:15It's so kind of you to come
22:20It's really not far
22:21Are you still just round the corner at Wellington Barracks?
22:23I am
22:24Are you still travelling up and down the country, recruiting for all the regiments from all the top schools?
22:29That's me
22:29Hmm
22:33I gather
22:35You saw the First Lady at dinner recently
22:39Who?
22:41Mrs. Kennedy
22:43Margaret mentioned it
22:44Did she?
22:45Yes
22:48So how was that?
22:50Pleasant enough
22:52Uneventful
22:54You know how it is at the Radsevilles
22:55No I don't
22:57Well, the food's always good
22:59Yes, but I wasn't asking about the food
23:04I'd like to know what was said
23:08Patrick, we grew up together
23:10And we've always had a very frank and a very open relationship
23:15Yes ma'am
23:15Yes, so, let's not break the habit of a lifetime
23:22Alright
23:26What I ever heard the First Lady say
23:29And I should mention I was several places along the table
23:32It's possible that I misheard
23:37Was
23:39That she found Buckingham Palace second-rate, dilapidated and sad
23:44Like a neglected provincial hotel
23:48And that one came away with a sense of a tired institution
23:54Without a place in the modern world
24:00I see
24:10And did she have anything to say?
24:12About me?
24:14Patrick
24:14I was at the other end of the table
24:23But the words I think I ever heard were
24:29That in our head of state we had
24:33A middle-aged woman
24:34So incurious
24:38Unintelligent
24:39Unintelligent
24:40And unremarkable
24:44That Britain's new reduced place in the world
24:47Was not a surprise but an inevitability
25:05Well
25:09We must have her again soon
25:21To be continued...
25:26To be continued...
25:28To be continued...
25:52Bad news, I'm afraid.
25:54Worse than bad.
25:55Regarding Nkrumah's Volta Dab project, President Kennedy's pulled out.
26:02Why?
26:03American involvement was conditional upon Ghana having severed all ties with the Russians.
26:07Turns out Nkrumah was in Moscow, yes.
26:10To receive the order of Lenin, highest military honor, from Khrushchev himself.
26:17And what's the next step?
26:18I wish I knew.
26:20Wish I had an ace up my sleeve.
26:22The way President Kennedy had his First Lady in Paris.
26:39Why don't you send me?
26:44Where?
26:46To Ghana.
26:48On what would be seen as a personal trip.
26:50Absolutely not.
26:51That would be out of the question, madam.
26:53Why?
26:55A visit from the Crown to Ghana would be seen as a huge compliment.
26:57Too great a compliment.
26:58It would be singling out Ghana as a preferred nation.
27:02In doing so, we risk alienating Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Tengenica.
27:05But surely by singling out Ghana, that might be just the thing to keep Nkrumah away from the Russians and
27:09in the Commonwealth.
27:10Perhaps.
27:10But as Queen, you cannot be seen to be engaging in the dirty business of politics.
27:14Yes, but as head of the Commonwealth, can I not be permitted just once to defend it?
27:17Your Majesty.
27:20It would be unsafe.
27:22It would be provocative.
27:25It would be, in my view, a profound misjudgment to get on that plane.
27:47The trip is impossible to justify it from any angle.
27:51It is unethical, unconstitutional and indefensible that the Queen should be going at all.
27:57What would you have me do?
27:59Nothing.
28:00I certainly wouldn't have you get into a chess match with a wily operator like Nkrumah.
28:05You're just being cynical.
28:06And you're being naive.
28:09When you last met him, Nkrumah was just Nkrumah.
28:12Now he's the Lion of Africa, playing the Soviets off against the Americans.
28:16And you're a lamb the Lion will have for lunch.
28:20The best thing you can do is stay at home and be what you're supposed to be.
28:24A puppet.
28:25A constitutional monarch.
28:27A puppet.
28:28If you like.
28:29Well, that's the whole point.
28:32I don't like.
28:49Sir, she's here.
29:32I don't like.
29:41I love it.
29:43I love it.
29:51Shall we move?
29:55Stop.
29:56Stop.

33:41The situation is developing in Ghana.
33:44Hello?
34:17I think we both understand this.
34:19Is there any significance on this moment?
34:22Yes.
34:24But do we understand the terms?
34:30They appear to be in some kind of negotiation.
34:33What kind of negotiation?
34:34Get her out of there!
34:37Your Majesty.
34:43Oh, Lord.
34:45What's going on?
34:51He's taken her hand.
35:12They're dancing.
35:16Our Queen is dancing, sir.
35:20With an African.
35:21What?
35:23Was this agreed?
35:24Was this agreed?
35:25This was definitely not agreed.
35:27What are they doing?
35:28What are they doing?
35:31Hard to say.
35:32I believe it's the Foxtrot.
35:35The Foxtrot, sir.
35:37What's this?
35:38Uh huh.
35:39Huh?
35:40Huh?
35:40Ja.
35:52Uh huh.
36:06środ
36:22Ladies and gentlemen, the man I am proud to call the 35th president of the United States,
36:28but even more proud to call my brother, John F. Kennedy.
36:39Thank you, Bobby.
36:46What is it to be an American today?
36:52Prosperous, powerful, privileged?
36:56Certainly.
36:59And yet, it is also troubling.
37:04I look around me and find our people divided as never before, indeed is at no time since our civil
37:12war.
37:13There has been a change, a slippage in our moral and our intellectual strength.
37:20Blight has descended on our regulatory agencies, and a dry rot, beginning in Washington, is seeping into every corner of
37:29America.
37:30Too many of us have lost our way, our will, and our sense of historic purpose.
37:36It is time for a renewal, a new generation of leadership, healing leadership, but we cannot do it alone.
37:46And so I am asking each of you to be pioneers in this renewal, in this healing, in the reclaiming
37:55of great American values,
37:57freedom, tolerance, and equality of opportunity.
38:01Then we can claim our position and responsibilities as leaders of a truly free world.
38:08God bless you all, and God bless the United States of America.
38:12God bless you all, and God bless you all, and God bless you all, and God bless you all, and
38:30God bless you all.
38:34Thank you, sir.
38:36Fantastic.
38:36Yeah, you made this evening worthwhile.
38:44Ladies, if you'd like to step over here.
38:47Okay.
38:56When the British royal family visits the former colony, it doesn't normally make news of the U.S.
39:03But when Queen Elizabeth dances with a former son, a white monarch with an African leader, the world pays attention.
39:11And so, too, the Ghanaian leader, President Nkrumah himself.
39:17Off by the jester, Nkrumah...
39:19I'm going to Glenora with the kids in the morning.
39:22It's not the weekend yet.
39:25It's Wednesday.
39:27It's weekend enough for me.
39:29Don't be like that.
39:32Don't you take away my dignity and then tell me how to be.
39:36I just wanted to thank you, that's all.
39:39For the second time in recent weeks, you've been instrumental in changing a significant matter of foreign policy.
39:48And an African state that was fast running into the arms of the communists has been turned around and kept
39:54in the West.
39:57Well, what does that have to do with me?
40:00Dreary queen, thick ankles.
40:04Her majestic dullness.
40:07The incurious crown.
40:10Apparently just some of the things you've said about her at a dinner in London, which then got back to
40:15Queen Elizabeth, and it seems spurred her on.
40:19Without those insults, she wouldn't have defied her cabinet, risked her reputation, and gone to Ghana against all advice to
40:26bring President Nkrumah back on side.
40:28But she did.
40:31Pulled off some incredible stunt with a dance, and it's all thanks to you.
40:36They're ready for you.
40:39Relax.
40:40It's not like you're running to her in Glenora.
40:43Not Glenora, no.
40:45But I am due back in London on my way back from India and Pakistan.
40:50Then my advice would be don't go to Buckingham Palace.
40:55Sorry.
40:56The provincial hotel.
40:58It's not so easy.
40:59Her sister set up a lunch last time we were in town.
41:02Oh.
41:03Well, that should be fun.
41:06Cat fight.
41:07I look forward to a full report.
41:09Come on, Bobby.
41:12Come on.
41:26Come on.
41:29Come on.
41:35Come on.
41:36Your Majesty, some more international reactions to the Ghana trip.
41:41Positive or negative?
41:44Overwhelmingly positive, madam.
41:48Well, just a quick look, then.
41:57The New York Times calls it shrewd strategic maneuvering, an example of impeccable political brinkmanship.
42:06The Australian papers are very impressed with your commitment to the Commonwealth, and the Illustrated London News call it an
42:13outstanding personal success.
42:16Floating doesn't suit to you.
42:20The Garnetian press.
42:22They're calling you a socialist.
42:25Oh.
42:26Goodness.
42:28One more thing.
42:30First Lady, Mrs. Kennedy.
42:35What about her?
42:38Her office is written requesting private audience with your majesty prior to lunch on the 28th of March.
42:44What ever for?
42:46They didn't say.
42:48Where's the lunch?
42:50Parkingham Palace, ma'am.
42:55Well, let's make the audience Windsor Castle.
43:01Sometimes only a fortress will do.
43:05Winter Castle.
43:06My boy.
43:24Let's go.
44:01Let's go.
44:12This way, Mrs. Kennedy.
44:26This way, Mrs. Kennedy.
44:45This way, Mrs. Kennedy, Your Majesty.
44:50Thank you for seeing me.
44:55Mrs. Kennedy, do sit down.
45:10Shall we have tea?
45:32I asked to speak to you in private ahead of our lunch on Friday.
45:35Why?
45:36Because I owe you an apology.
45:39Whatever for?
45:40I think we both know the answer to that question.
45:57I had a social occasion.
46:00Shortly after our last visit, I made some comments.
46:04Some foolish comments, which I believe got back to you.
46:09There really is no need for this.
46:13Reports that you'd said certain things did get back to me.
46:19And I'll confess to being momentarily surprised since they in no way reflected what I understood to be the spirit
46:26of our meeting.
46:27But in this job, I've learned, as I'm sure you have to, not to take things too seriously.
46:33People say things for all sorts of reasons, which get misquoted or misunderstood.
46:38And before you know it, those words have turned into something quite different.
46:41And everyone's upset or up in arms.
46:46I'm quite sure that you meant no harm nor disrespect.
46:49After all, why would you?
46:52We barely know one another.
46:54Still, it was inexcusable, so I can't offer an excuse.
46:58But if you'll allow me, I'd like to offer an explanation.
47:05Yes, of course.
47:07Last time we were in London, Jack and I probably seemed, at least from the outside, to be riding on
47:13a high.
47:14Yes, I should say so.
47:16The most celebrated, most famous couple in the world.
47:19The truth is that I was still suffering from postnatal problems after the birth of our son, and Jack had
47:27his own health issues.
47:29To say we were strained would be an understatement.
47:33So, when we got to Paris, I don't mind telling you I took some pleasure in shining there.
47:41And then, at the Elysee Palace.
47:44I am the man who accompanied Jacqueline Kennedy to Paris.
47:51I enjoyed it.
47:53But Jack didn't appreciate being upstaged.
47:57Behind closed doors, I can imagine.
48:03There were other factors too.
48:07Our doctor.
48:09Dr. Jacobson routinely administers us his cocktails before major trips.
48:17Vitamins.
48:21But other substances too.
48:26To help pep us up or calm us down.
48:36On the occasion of that dinner, he had given me something.
48:39A little...
48:41Booster.
48:44I told him I needed cheering up.
48:47But I guess it loosened my tongue.
48:51And then I heard some of these terrible things cut back to you.
48:57And...
48:58I can't tell you how much distress it's caused me.
49:03The idea that I might have upset someone I admire so much.
49:08That's very kind of you to say.
49:10It's true.
49:12The way you do your job.
49:15The way you cope with the pressure.
49:18The...
49:19Personal sacrifices you've made.
49:21Not to mention your...
49:23Composure and dignity.
49:27As a woman, it's so inspiring.
49:31And what you just did in Ghana...
49:34It was just extraordinary.
49:41What I should have said...
49:43Was that I didn't do very much in Ghana.
49:46I got on a plane...
49:48And I went.
49:50The only reason I went was because I felt...
49:53Utterly useless in comparison to you.
49:56And I was trying to compete.
49:59And if anything...
50:00I owe you a huge debt of gratitude.
50:06But I didn't.
50:09I just sat there.
50:12And I let her say her peace.
50:14And savored your victory?
50:16Yes.
50:18And what do you want from me now?
50:21For taking off?
50:22Well, don't you think I'm deserving of one?
50:24No.
50:25But she was so broken.
50:28And fragile.
50:30Lost.
50:31Lost.
50:33You did exactly the right thing.
50:37She insulted you.
50:39All of us.
50:40And you're not a saint.
50:41No.
50:42We know that already.
50:46There's ice in those veins when there needs to be.
50:49Yes.
50:52Well, three cheers to that.
51:06But you don't have to be a dude.
51:08The other one.
51:09Good evening.
51:10I've got a good lad.
51:11The track is coming.
51:14The track is coming.
51:15Yes.
51:16Keep moving on the hills.
51:31Man.
51:32What is it?
51:33You're needed back to the house.
51:35Right.
51:41What's going on?
51:43I don't know, Lyle.
51:45Somebody help.
51:58There was absolute pandemonium around the scene.
52:01People screamed and lay down on the ground as shots were heard.
52:05Reporters saw President Kennedy lying flat on his face on the seat of his car.
52:10Men and women were screaming.
52:12He saw blood on the President's head.
52:15This is all we have here in Washington at this moment.
52:18And for the moment, I return you to Radio Newsreel in London.
52:21Hello, London.
52:22I just heard from Dallas that the President is still alive, but in critical condition.
52:28He was apparently shot in the head, and the Governor of Texas, Governor Connolly, was shot in the chest.
52:35Mrs. Kennedy was weeping, trying to hold up her husband's head when the reporters reached the car as it dashed
52:42toward the hospital.
52:43Vice President Lyndon Johnson was in the car behind the president.
52:48Blood transfusions are being given to President Kennedy.
52:51However, one of the two priests called into the room has administered the last sacrament of the church to President
52:59Kennedy.
53:01Mrs. Kennedy and Mrs. Connolly are stunned, but they are at the bedside of their husbands.
53:16He's dead.
53:18It's dead.
53:20It's dead.
53:22It's dead.
53:30It's dead.
53:33It's dead.
53:34I don't know.
54:08Yes, but that's the thing about unhappiness.
54:15All it takes is for something worse to come along.
54:20And you realize it was actually happiness after all.
54:32She's still wearing the same clothes.
54:36Couldn't it have found her something else?
54:38It was covered in our husband's blood.
54:46No, I think it's deliberate.
54:52Where are you going?
54:56Where are you going?
55:17Where are you going?
55:21Michael, I'd like everyone in the royal household to observe a full week of court mourning.
55:30And I would like the bell rung at Westminster Abbey.
55:36A man custom dictates that the bell only be rung.
55:41When a member of the royal family dies.
55:44I know.
55:46But I would like it to be rung.
55:49Every minute.
55:51For an hour.
55:54From 11 o'clock until midday.
56:00Yes, ma'am.
56:04In his prayer for God's help.
56:07May we all find some right and hope in the darkness of the days that lie ahead.
56:21I'm so sorry.
56:25I'm so sorry.
56:26I'm so sorry.
56:31I'm so sorry.
56:36I'm so sorry.
56:40I'm so sorry.
56:43I don't know.
57:19I don't know.
57:47I don't know.
58:21I don't know.
58:47I don't know.
