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 Elysee Palace, the ceremonial guard awaited Mr Kennedy's arrival.
02:53It has pleased the French that he came to Paris before going to Vienna to meet Mr Khrushchev.
02:58When is it, do you think, if one's committed to a life of honesty, that one must start calling oneself
03:04middle-aged?
03:06Oh, stop it.
03:08You'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, let the first one go to school, and then let's talk about being middle-aged.
03:25Well, that won't be middle-aged, that'll be ancient.
03:30Oh.
03:30Oh.
03:31Oh.
03:31No, no.
03:32Again?
03:36Mummy, be careful.
03:38No, stop it.
03:40It's rented.
03:45No.
03:46Oh, no, yes, you've got it.
03:48Well done.
03:49It's macaroni and cheese.
03:51It's heavenly.
03:51Visit the Faculty of Medicine in Paris.
03:54So, a weekend's been heavenly.
03:57Sadly, I have to leave in the morning.
03:59Where's the floor?
04:02They're coming to dinner.
04:04In Kennedy.
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, I always thought she was the same age as you.
04:15She is.
04:19Oh, no.
04:25Oh, no, no, look.
04:26There she is.
04:27Talking about the charm and elegance of Mr. Kennedy's wife Jackie.
04:30Jackie, in fact, often stole the picture.
04:39Oh, she is pretty, isn't she?
04:44Yes.
05:04Since , Mr.inflin Dues,
05:08We just arrived here, too.
05:08Don't get him ready.
05:09Oh, no.
05:14Oh, honestly.
05:26No, no.
05:29Oh, yes.
05:29Oh, yes.
05:31Oh, yes.
06:51One overriding item on the agenda today, ma'am.
06:55Ghana. Now continued concern for Nkrumah's growing hostility to the West.
07:01You feel that he's drifting from the Commonwealth?
07:03Not so much drifting as bolting for the door.
07:06Into whose arms?
07:09The Russians, ma'am. Yesterday he received Brezhnev in Accra.
07:15Brezhnev?
07:16The chairman of the Soviet Presidium who flew to Ghana for talks about Nkrumah's precious dam project.
07:22The Volta Dam?
07:23Yes, ma'am.
07:24But I thought Nkrumah had been talking to the Americans about that.
07:27He had been. But Russia sees this as an opportunity.
07:30To outbid the Americans, get a foothold in Africa, in an attempt to turn the whole continent red.
07:36Well, 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. Personally or politically.
07:54So what turned it all around?
07:56The First Lady, ma'am.
08:00Why? What did she do?
08:02Dazzled Le Tou Paris. Had 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 until all anti-American sentiments simply evaporated.
08:19I suppose she is prissy.
08:23And they are French.
08:25She's a so formidably bright woman in her own right, having studied at the Sorbonne and the prestigious Γcole Libre
08:32des 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, anyway.
08:48Prime Minister.
08:50Your Majesty.
08:55Always important, I think, when choosing a gown is to ask oneself what precisely one wants to feel when wearing
09:02it.
09:04Hmm.
09:05I just think that one doesn't want to feel second best.
09:09Quite.
09:11Especially if one is very much the senior of the two individuals.
09:15No, 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, and I couldn't have noticed it.
09:56Breathe in, Mum.
09:57No, no, no, no.
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, isn't it my right, as your husband,
10:43to sit next to the most senior female there?
10:46It's true.
10:46At a state dinner, you could have expected to sit next to the most senior female guests.
10:50But on this occasion, Downing Street of Arse has 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 if he thinks we're too close to the Americans.
11:07So it's a small, informal dinner.
11:10Oh, fine.
11:10Then it's a free-for-all, seating-wise.
11:12Yes, I suppose it is.
11:14In which case, I could put Dickey next to my sister and put myself next to the First Lady.
11:19If you must.
11:21Where?
11:24I must.
11:46Thank you, gentlemen.
11:48Sorry, sir.
11:50And you.
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.
12:27What on earth is going on?
12:31They've all gone mad.
12:34Here they come.
12:45Madam First Lady, welcome to Buckingham Palace.
12:49Mr. President.
12:50Hello.
12:51Her Majesty is waiting for you in the blue toilet.
12:58There will be a brief reception before dinner, sir.
13:01Is Matt hysteria?
13:03Extraordinary behaviour.
13:09Done.
13:11For goodness sake.
13:13Come on, it's like royalty.
13:14Well, very funny.
13:27Oh, shit.
13:30President first.
13:31President first.
13:33Your Majesty.
13:35No curtsy.
13:36No curtsy.
13:37Mrs. Kennedy.
13:39Your Grace.
13:41Your Royal Highness.
13:42Mrs. Kennedy.
13:45Good evening, Your Royal Majesty.
13:48Oh, dear.
13:50Oh, 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.
14:06Jackie.
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.
14:55No wonder the Cold War.
14:55He took place two nations to be very good.
14:58Come on, Mr. President.
15:01Two micro.
15:07He's such a rat of our two-person.
15:10We won't vote.
15:11We won't vote.
15:11Yeah, we won't vote.
15:29Ah, so, how was she?
15:32Oh, terrific.
15:34She's divine.
15:36She?
15:37I'm frightfully clever.
15:39Yes.
15:41What are you doing?
15:42She wants a tour of the place.
15:44Does she?
15:45Well, then I'll do it.
15:46You know, it's all right.
15:47She'll ask me.
15:48No.
15:48It's my house.
15:50So I'll do it.
15:56Mrs. Kennedy, you're mine.
15:59You okay there?
16:01I hope my wife isn't causing too much trouble.
16:06Do you know you're the luckiest man on earth?
16:12Yes.
16:17Although, people keep telling me the same thing.
16:23Sure.
16:25Where are they going?
16:27I have absolutely no idea.
16:32Now, this is the throne room.
16:34In the early years of Queen Victoria's reign, various balls and concerts were held here.
16:40But now, it's principally used for receptions and vestiges and taking over all wedding photographs.
16:52Shall 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 1761 for his wife,
17:05Queen 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.
17:28And I'm also a shy person by nature.
17:39This leads to our private apartments.
17:44It'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 ended up in a goldfish bowl like
18:09the White House.
18:12But I realize there's actually a perverse logic to a cripplingly shy person ending up in this position.
18:18Well, 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 a strong character is often one who enjoys public life.
18:32Thrives on it.
18:34And then before you know it, the very person you have turned to in order to protect you is the
18:40very 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 10,000 people under the glare of spotlights than be alone with me.
19:07And what's your idea of heaven?
19:11I like my own company.
19:13And to be alone in the countryside.
19:16And where do you go?
19:18A farm.
19:19Glenora, about an hour from Washington.
19:21Maryland.
19:23Virginia.
19:24Oh, yes.
19:28Ah.
19:31Hello, Stuart.
19:32Yes, ma'am.
19:33They're eating.
19:34Yes, ma'am.
19:35Oh, goodness.
19:38Hey, little puppy.
19:40What's your name?
19:41Well, that's sugar.
19:43Ah.
19:44And these are our puppies.
19:45Come here.
19:46Come here.
19:47Whiskey and sherry.
19:49Hello.
19:50Oh.
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.
20:16A 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?
20:40Oh.
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.
20:47I saw him last night at Tartuffe.
20:48No, is that a restaurant?
20:49It's a play, dear.
20:51A very famous French play.
20:53Oh, I knew that.
20:54Did you?
20:54Yes, it's a classic tragedy.
20:56Farce.
20:57By Poisson.
20:58Moliere.
20:59Oh.
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.
21:27Oh, what did she say?
21:29You'd have to ask Patrick.
21:32I must say it did seem a little unkind.
21:35You know how a reported speech has twisted in the retailing.
21:39I'm quite sure it was nothing.
21:41I'm quite sure it was nothing.
21:43Don't worry.
21:44Don't worry.
21:51General Solomon!
21:53Retail!
21:55Off!
21:58Shoulder!
21:59Off!
22:03Order!
22:04Off!
22:08Order!
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
22:24And are you still travelling up and down the country
22:26Recruiting for all the regiments from all the top schools?
22:29That's me
22:33I gather
22:35You saw the First Lady
22:38That did her recently
22:39Who?
22:41Mrs. Kennedy
22:43Margaret mentioned it
22:44Did she?
22:45Yes
22:48So how was that?
22:51Pleasant enough
22:53Uneventful
22:54You know how it is at the Ranservilles
22:56No 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
23:09We grew up together
23:10And we've always had a very frank and a very open relationship
23:15Yes ma'am
23:15Yes
23:16So let's not break the habit of a lifetime
23:22Right
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
23:34Yes
23:37Was
23:39That she found Buckingham Palace second rate, dilapidated and sad
23:43Like a neglected provincial hotel
23:47And that one came away with a sense of a tired institution
23:53Without a place in the modern world
24:00I see
24:09And did she have anything to say
24:11About me?
24:14Patrick
24:14I was at the other end of the table
24:16I
24:16Was at the other end of the table
24:23But the words I think I ever heard were
24:29But in our head of state
24:31We had
24:32A middle-aged woman
24:34So incurious
24:38Unintelligent
24:39And unremarkable
24:44That Britain's new reduced place in the world
24:47Was not a surprise
24:47But an inevitability
25:04Well
25:09We must have her again soon
25:11We must have her again soon
25:11We must have her again soon
25:52Bad news I'm afraid
25:54Worse than bad
25:55Regarding Nkrumah's Volta Dab project
25:58President Kennedy's pulled out
26:02Why?
26:03American involvement was conditional
26:05Upon Ghana having severed all ties with the Russians
26:07Turns out Nkrumah was in Moscow yesterday
26:10To receive the order of Lenin
26:12Highest military honor
26:14From Khrushchev himself
26:16And what's the next step?
26:18I wish I knew
26:19Wish I had an ace up my sleeve
26:21The 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
26:53Why?
26:55A visit from the Crown to Ghana
26:56Would be seen as a huge compliment
26:57Too great a compliment
26:58It would be singling out Ghana
27:00As a preferred nation
27:01In doing so we risk alienating
27:03Nigeria
27:04Sierra Leone
27:20Tengen
27:20It would be unsafe
27:22It would be provocative
27:25It would be
27:27In my view
27:28A profound misjudgment
27:30To get on that plane
27:47The trip
27:48Is impossible to justify
27:50From any angle
27:51It is unethical
27:53Unconstitutional
27:53And indefensible
27:54That the Queen
27:55Should be going at all
27:57What would you have me do?
27:59Nothing?
28:00I certainly wouldn't have you
28:01Get into a chess match
28:02With a wily operator
28:03Like Nkrumah
28:04You're just being cynical
28:06And you're being naive
28:09When you last met him
28:10Nkrumah was just
28:12Nkrumah
28:12Now he's the Lion of Africa
28:14Playing the Soviets off
28:15Against the Americans
28:16And you're a lamb
28:17The Lion will have for lunch
28:20The best thing you can do
28:21Is stay at home
28:22And 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
28:51She's here
28:52I don't like
28:58You're not
28:59I don't like
29:51Shall we move?
29:55Stop. Stop.
29:57One moment, please, ma'am.
30:00Yes.
30:01Reporters.
30:05Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
30:07Hey, hey, hey.
30:08We're just done that.
30:09We're here.
30:13We're here.
30:15We're here.
30:19Your Majesty,
30:21Ghana welcomes you.
30:23Humbly.
30:27We're very happy to be here.
30:29Of course.
30:32Back, back, back.
30:33Back, back, back, back.
30:38Ready.
30:40Thank you, Your Majesty.
30:47Well, you've given him the photo he wanted.
30:51That'll be on the front page of every African newspaper making every other African leader choke with genocide.
30:56Yes, but it always does the trick.
31:08Are Dean here?
31:11Put him through.
31:12I have a secure line to Ghana.
31:14Yes, sir.
31:16But I thought he had agreed to suspend all contact with the Soviets.
31:20Apparently not.
31:21Ready, sir.
31:22Gentlemen, thank you.
31:34Out.
31:36Hello.
31:40Your Majesty.
31:41Prime Minister.
31:43I've just received confirmation that a team of international engineers has arrived in Ghana to begin work on Nkrumah's dam.
31:49Well.
31:51I see that's good news, isn't it?
31:54We encourage the Americans to go back to Nkrumah.
31:56Soviet engineers, ma'am.
31:59It appears Nkrumah's been playing us all off against one another.
32:02What?
32:03Leading us a merry dance.
32:04I'm afraid you've been used, ma'am.
32:07Just as we'd feel.
32:15Elizabeth, what's happened?
32:20In, sir. Martin.
32:23Ah, ah, ah.
32:24I wouldn't if I were you.
32:27Sir?
32:28She's asked to be alone.
32:32She says she's thinking.
32:41Oh, my God.
32:58Hey.
32:59Baba.
33:20What's going on?
33:23What are you doing?
33:26Elizabeth?
33:37Yes, this is Colonel Charteris.
33:39We have Martin Charteris on the telephone.
33:41The situation is developing in Ghana.
33:44Hello?
34:17I think we both understand the significance of this moment.
34:23Yes, but 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.
35:39The Foxtrot!
35:46Whoa!
35:52Oh, my God.
35:58Oh, my God, my God.
36:04It's easy to do and get back to, man.Δ±yoruz?
36:04To see.
36:04And to find
36:04out the ΡΡΠ΄ΠΎΠΌ with him, C naught hurts.
36:04Well. Oh,
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, certainly.
36:58And yet it is also troubling.
37:04I look around me and find our people divided as never before.
37:09Indeed, it is at no time since our civil war.
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.
37:29Too many of us have lost our way, our will, and our sense of historic purpose.
37:37It 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, freedom, 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.
38:36God bless you all, and God bless you all, and God bless you all.
38:39God bless you all.
38:57When the British royal family visits the former colony, it doesn't normally make news in the US.
39:02But when Queen Elizabeth dances with a former son, a white monarch, with an African leader, the world pays attention.
39:12And so too the Ghanaian leader, President Nkrumah himself.
39:17Awed 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 a 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?
40:03I don't know.
40:10I don't know.
40:14I don't know.
40:16I don't know.
40:25I don't know.
40:25But I have to go in Ghana against all advice to bring President Nkrumah back on side.
40:28But she did.
40:31Pulled off some incredible stunt with a dance.
40:34And it's all thanks to you.
40:36They're ready for you.
40:37Yeah.
40:39Relax.
40:39it's not like you're running to her in Glenora not Glenora no I am due back in
40:47London on my way back from India and Pakistan and my advice would be don't go
40:52to Buckingham Palace sorry the provincial hotel it's not so easy

43:01sometimes only a fortress will do
43:05Windsor Castle
43:06thank you
43:25you
43:26you
43:26you
43:27you
43:34On the right star!
43:39Right down to the front.
43:43Headway to the Queen's Guard!
43:59Get off now, Mrs. Kennedy.
44:03Mr. Beast.
44:12This way, Mrs. Kennedy.
44:26Mrs. Kennedy, this way, please.
44:45Mrs. Kennedy, Your Majesty.
44:48Your Majesty.
44:51Thank you for seeing me.
44:55Mrs. Kennedy.
44:58Do sit down.
45:11Shall we have tea?
45:32I asked to speak to you in private ahead of our lunch on Friday, because I owe you an apology.
45:39Whatever for?
45:40I think we both know the answer to that question.
45:56I had a social occasion shortly after our last visit.
46:01I made some comments, some 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, but in this job, I've learned, as I'm sure you have to, not to
46:32take 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.
46:42And 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.
47:19Well, the truth is that I was still suffering from postnatal problems after the birth of our son, and Jack
47:27had his own health issues.
47:28To 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.
47:56Behind closed doors.
47:59I can imagine.
48:03There are 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 booster.
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.
48:58I can't tell you how much distress it's caused me.
49:02The 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.
49:19The personal sacrifices you've made.
49:21Not to mention your composure 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...
49:43...was 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...
49:52...utterly useless in comparison to you.
49:56And I was trying to compete.
49:59And if anything...
50:00...I owe you a huge debt of gratitude.
50:06But I didn't.
50:09I just sat there.
50:12And I let her say her piece.
50:14And savoured your victory.
50:16Yes.
50:18And what do you want from me now?
50:21Ticking off.
50:22Well, don't you think I'm deserving of one?
50:24No.
50:26But she was so broken.
50:28And fragile.
50:30Lost.
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, if we cheers to that.
51:09Yes.
51:15Yes, sir!
51:16Yes!
51:16Yes!
51:17Yes!
51:17Up the hill.
51:31Man.
51:32What is it?
51:33You're needed back to the house.
51:35Right.
51:41What's going on?
51:43Oh, there's an old island.
51:45Somebody help me.
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.
52:14This 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.
52:44Vice 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 husband.
53:16He's dead.
54:00Didn't you say how unhappy she was in the marriage?
54:04Mrs. Kennedy, bearing his body, Mrs. Kennedy, accompanied the fallen President.
54:11Her clothes still...
54:11But that's the thing about unhappiness.
54:15All it takes is for something worse to come along.
54:19And you realize it was actually happiness after all.
54:23...conveged into the hospital in plain sight of thousands of waiting orders.
54:28As disbelieving and shaking tonight as our entire...
54:32She's still wearing the same clothes.
54:34Today, in last respect...
54:36Couldn't it have found her something else?
54:38...the President's casket was fastened...
54:40It was covered in our husband's blood.
54:43...rovetants and loved ones joined the grieving Mrs. Kennedy for a...
54:46No, I think it's deliberate.
54:48...before the body was moved to the rotunda of the Capitol.
54:52The last day in the life of the first Capitol, President of the United States.
54:58Where are you going?
54:59Lyndon Johnson, sworn in on Air Force One less than 100 minutes after the official death of President Kennedy.
55:16...the juever.
55:19...the lord.
55:24Highway 29 years later...
55:26Franklin is their first victim's men.
55:27... Liebe.
55:31In Yeah.
55:31No, that's true.
55:36No.
55:36No.
55:36No.
55:39custom dictates that the bell only be when a member of the royal family dies
55:44i know but i would like it to be rung every minute for an hour
55:54from 11 o'clock until midday
56:00this man
56:01your president johnson in his prayer for god's help
56:06may we all find some light and hope in the darkness of the days that lie ahead
