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 Elysée 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,
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, let 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.
03:28Here he is, arriving in Paris with...
03:30Oh, no, no. Not again?
03:37Mummy, be careful.
03:38No, stop it. It's rented.
03:41No.
03:46Oh, no, yes, you've got it. Well done.
03:49It's macaroni and cheese, isn't it?
03:54It's all weekend, it's been heavenly.
03:57Sadly, sadly, I have to leave in the morning.
03:59What about the floor?
04:02They're coming to dinner.
04:04In Kennedy's.
04:05After Vienna with Kruistroff, 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.
04:16She flew to the banquet at the Alizé Palace.
04:19Oh, no.
04:25Oh, no, no, look.
04:26There she is.
04:27She was talking 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.
04:46Oh, no, no, no.
07:09The Russians, ma'am.
07:12Yesterday 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.
07:28But 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.
07:52Personally or politically.
07:54So what turned it all around?
07:56The First Lady, ma'am.
08:00Why?
08:01What did she do?
08:01Dazzled Le Tou Paris.
08:03Had President De Gaulle eating out of her hand.
08:06How on earth did she do that?
08:08By 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 pretty.
08:23And they are French.
08:25She is a so formidably bright woman in her own right, having studied at the Sorbonne and the prestigious École
08:32Libre des Sciences Politiques.
08:34The most glamorous and intelligent woman on earth.
08:39So they say.
08:42And now she is coming to London.
08:45So we better put our best foot forward, Henry.
08:48Prime Minister.
08:49Your 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.
09:10Quite.
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.
09:58Just 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 you haven't seen in years.
10:32No, she's still my sister.
10:34And this is...
10:34You know.
10:36No.
10:37I don't know.
10:38Her?
10:40Anyway, in terms of protocol, isn't it my right, as your husband, to sit next to the most
10:44senior 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
11:06to 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.
11:13In which case, I could go to Dickey next to my sister and put myself next to the First
11:18Lady.
11:19If you must.
11:21Where?
11:24I must.
11:46Thank you, gentlemen.
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.
12:27Porchie, what on earth is going on?
12:31They've all gone mad.
12:35Here 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 drawing.
12:58There will be a brief reception before dinner, sir.
13:01Fantastic.
13:02Is Matt hysteria?
13:03Extraordinary behaviour.
13:05Can't you explain it?
13:09Done.
13:11For goodness sake.
13:13Come on, it's like royalty.
13:14Well, very funny.
13:27Gosh.
13:30President first, President first.
13:33Your Majesty.
13:35No curtsy.
13:36No curtsy.
13:37Mrs. Kennedy.
13:39Your Grace.
13:41Your Royal Highness.
13:42Yes.
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.
14:14Mrs. Kennedy.
14:16I feel like that went wrong in about 10,000 different ways.
14:20I've seen worse.
14:22But I'm not sure when.
14:24Ha, ha, ha.
14:25Let's drink.
14:27Please.
14:29Ha, ha.
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.
14:55It's strange.
14:57It's too much.
14:57It's too many people.
14:58It's a man.
15:01To my first.
15:02Do you want to say it?
15:07Did you want to say it?
15:08This is frankly.
15:09We won't vote.
15:11We won't vote.
15:13No wonder.
15:19He's a star.
15:21He's a star.
15:22He's a star.
15:29Ah, so, how was she?
15:32Oh, terrific. She's divine.
15:36Is she?
15:37I'm frightfully clever.
15:39Yes.
15:41What are you doing?
15:42She wants a tour of the place.
15:44Does she? Well, then I'll do it.
15:46No, no, it's all right. She asked me.
15:47No, it's my house, so 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.
16:25Where 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,
16:37various balls and concerts were held here.
16:40Now, it's principally used for receptions,
16:43and vestiges and taking over all wedding photographs.
16:52Shall we?
16:54Now, this is the picture gallery.
16:56This is my great-great-great-great-grandfather,
17:00George III,
17:00and 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.
17:16Crippling 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.
17:44It'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
18:06as 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
18:14to 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
18:23to 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
18:39is the very reason you are exposed.
18:44Jack's idea of heaven is a crowd campaigning,
18:48fundraising, speech-making.
18:50That's when he comes alive.
18:52He'd far sooner speak to 10,000 people
18:55under the glare of spotlights
18:57than 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.
19:31Hello, Stuart.
19:33They're eating.
19:34Yes, ma'am.
19:35Oh, goodness.
19:38Hello, puppies.
19:40What's your name?
19:41Well, that's sugar.
19:43And these are our puppies.
19:45Come here.
19:46Come here.
19:47Whiskey and sherry.
19:49Hello.
19:51Oh, you're very clever to be cautious.
19:54Oh, it's really one of the great paradoxes
19:57of being in a position where I have to talk
19:59to a great 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,
20:11if not the better, the more natural first lady.
20:14Oh, mine too.
20:16A born queen.
20:19And the greatest of British queens,
20:21in 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?
21:08Even 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, 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.
21:32Must say it did seem a little unkind.
21:33I don't know how reported speech has twisted in the retailing.
21:39I'm quite sure it was nothing.
21:42Don't worry.
21:51General Solis!
21:53Retail!
21:55Retail!
21:55Up!
21:58Shoulder!
21:59Up!
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 around 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.
22:33I gather you 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?
22:51Pleasant enough.
22:52Uneventful.
22:54You know how it is at the Ranservilles.
22:56No, I don't.
22:57Well, the food's always good.
22:59Yes, well, 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.
23:16Yes.
23:16So, let's not break the habit of a lifetime.
23:22All right.
23:26What I ever heard the First Lady say,
23:29and I should mention, I was several places along the table, it's possible that I misheard,
23:38was that she found Buckingham Palace second-rate, dilapidated and sad, like a neglected provincial hotel.
23:48And that one came away with a sense of a tired institution without a place in the modern world.
24:10And did she have anything to say about me, Patrick?
24:14Oh, it was at the other end of the table.
24:23But the words I think I ever heard were that in our head of state, we had a middle-aged
24:34woman,
24:34so incurious, unintelligent, and unremarkable.
24:44But Britain's new, reduced place in the world was not a surprise, but an inevitability.
25:08Well, we must have her again soon.
25:46So, let's go.
25:52Bad news, I'm afraid.
25:54Worse than bad.
25:55Regarding Nkrumah's Volterdam project,
25:58President Kennedy's pulled out.
26:02Why?
26:03American involvement was conditional upon Ghana
26:06having 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.
26:22The 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, ma'am.
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,
27:07that might be just the thing to keep Nkrumah away from the Russians
27:09and in the Commonwealth.
27:10Perhaps, but as Queen,
27:11you cannot be seen to be engaging in the dirty business of politics.
27:14Yes, but as head of the Commonwealth,
27:15can 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,
27:27in my view,
27:29a profound misjudgment
27:30to get on that plane.
27:47The trip is impossible to justify it from any angle.
27:51It is unethical, unconstitutional and indefensible
27:54that 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
28:02with a wily operator like Nkrumah.
28:05You're just being cynical.
28:06And you're being naive.
28:09When you last met him,
28:10Nkrumah was just Nkrumah.
28:12Now he's the Lion of Africa,
28:14playing 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
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.
28:52But she's here.
30:19Your Majesty, Ghana welcomes you humbly.
30:25Yes.
30:28We're very happy to be here.
30:29Of course.
30:32Bex, Bex, Bex, Bex, Bex, Bex, Bex.
30:37Ready.
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.
31:08Dean 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, I 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.
32:16Elizabeth.
32:17What's happened?
32:20In, sir.
32:21Martin.
32:24I wouldn't if I were you.
32:27Sir?
32:28She's asked to be alone.
32:32She says she's thinking.
32:49She says she says she's going to be alone.
32:53She says she's going to be alone.
33:17Now, what'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?
33:47I'm just going under my arm.
33:50No, no, no, no, no, no.
33:55Oh, no, no.
33:57Oh, no, no.
33:57Hey!
34:05What are you doing here?
34:06That's right.
34:08There's nothing.
34:12Hello?
34:14Hello?
34:15Hello?
34:15Hello?
34:17I think we both understand the significance of 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.
34:44What's going on?
34:51He's taken her hand.
35:13They'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.
35:37The Foxtrot is the Foxtrot.
36:46What is it to be an American today?
36:51Prosperous, powerful, privileged?
36:56Certainly.
36:59And 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.
37:30Too 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.
38:14God bless you all, and God bless you all, and God bless you all.
38:44God bless you all, and God bless you all, and God bless you all, and God bless you all.
38:57When the British royal family visits the former colony, it doesn't normally make news of the U.S., but when
39:04Queen Elizabeth dances with a former son, a white monarch with an African leader, the world pays attention to the
39:12U.S.
39:12And so too did Ghanaian leader, President Nkrumah himself.
39:16Off 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.
39:57What 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 said about her at a dinner in London, which then got back to
40:15Queen Elizabeth.
40:16And 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.
40:34And 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.
40:49Then 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.
41:08I look forward to a full report.
41:11Come on, Bobby.
41:24Come on, Bobby.
41:28And I'm pleased to say that we anticipate clean and calm conditions for the rest of our flight to London.
41:35Your Majesty, some more international reactions to the Ghana trip?
41:41Positive or negative?
41:44Overwhelmingly positive, madam.
41:48Well, just a quick look, then.
41:56So, the New York Times calls it shrewd strategic manoeuvring, an example of impeccable political brinkmanship.
42:06The Australian papers are very impressed with your commitment and common love.
42:10And the Illustrated London News call it an outstanding personal success.
42:17Floating doesn't suit you.
42:20The Carnet and Press are calling you a socialist.
42:25Oh, goodness.
42:28One more thing.
42:30First Lady, Mrs. Kennedy.
42:35What about her?
42:38Her office has 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?
42:49Barking a palace, ma'am.
42:55Well, let's make the audience Windsor Castle.
43:01Sometimes only a fortress will do.
43:05Windsor Castle.
43:06Oh, Adam, you don't have a heartless one.
43:20Then you can only have a heartless one over the future.
43:25You can't get it.
43:29Are you all right?
43:35Here are you.
43:36Adamsons!
43:43Oh
44:12This way, Mrs. Kennedy
44:15Mrs. 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
45:04Thank you
45:11Mrs. Kennedy
45:11Shall we have tea?
45:31Mrs. Kennedy
45:32I asked to speak to you in private
45:34Ahead of our lunch on Friday
45:36Because I owe you an apology
45:39Whatever for?
45:40I think we both know the answer to that question
45:48Thank you
45:57I had a social occasion
45:59Shortly after our last visit
46:01I made some comments
46:05Some foolish comments
46:07Which I believe got back to you
46:09There really is no need for this
46:13Reports that you'd said
46:15Certain things
46:17Did get back to me
46:19And I'll confess to being momentarily surprised
46:23Since they in no way reflected what I understood to be the spirit of our meeting
46:27But in this job
46:28I've learned, as I'm sure you have too
46:31Not to take things too seriously
46:33People say things for all sorts of reasons
46:36Which 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
46:55It was inexcusable, so I can't offer an excuse
46:58But
46:59If you'll allow me, I'd like to offer an explanation
47:05Yes, of course
47:07Last time we were in London
47:08Jack and I probably seemed
47:11Faced from the outside to be riding on a high
47:14Yes, I should say so
47:16The most celebrated, most famous couple in the world
47:19Well
47:19The truth is that
47:21Guy was still suffering from postnatal problems
47:24After the birth of our son
47:26And Jack had his own health issues
47:28To say we were strained
47:31Would be an understatement
47:34So
47:34When we got to Paris
47:37I don't mind telling you
47:38I took some pleasure in shining there
47:41And then
47:42At the Elysee Palace
47:44I am the man who accompanied
47:46Jacqueline Kennedy to Paris
47:48I enjoyed it
47:52But Jack didn't appreciate
47:54Being upstaged
47:57Behind closed doors
47:58I can imagine
48:03There were other factors too
48:07Our doctor
48:09Dr. Jacobson
48:11Routinely administers us
48:12His cocktails
48:13Before major trips
48:17Vitamins
48:21But other substances too
48:26To help
48:28Pep us up
48:29Or
48:31Calm us down
48:36On the occasion of that dinner
48:37He had given me something
48:39A little
48:41Booster
48:44I told him
48:44I needed cheering up
48:47But I guess
48:48It loosened my tongue
48:51And then I heard
48:52Some of these terrible things
48:54Cut back to you
48:55And
48:58I can't tell you how much distress
49:00It's caused me
49:03The idea
49:03The idea that I might have
49:05Upset someone
49:05I 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
49:17The
49:19Personal sacrifices you've made
49:21Not to mention
49:22Your
49:23Composure
49:24And
49:24Dignity
49:27As a woman
49:28It's so inspiring
49:31And
49:31What 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
49:51Was because I felt
49:53Utterly useless
49:54In comparison to you
49:56And I was trying to compete
49:59And if anything
50:01I 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 savored your victory?
50:16Yes
50:18And what do you want from me now?
50:21Ticking off?
50:22Well, don't you think I'm
50:23Deserving of one?
50:24No
50:26But she was so broken
50:28And fragile
50:29And lost
50:33You did exactly the right thing
50:37She insulted you
50:39All of us
50:39And you're not a saint
50:41No
50:42Who?
50:42We know that already
50:46There's ice in those veins
50:48When there needs to be
50:49Yes
50:52Well, three cheers to that
51:10Yes
51:14Let's do it
51:16Go
51:17with us
51:17Yes
51:17Yes
51:17No
51:20Yes
51:23Yes
51:23Yes
51:31Man, what is it?
51:33You're needed back to the house.
51:35Right.
51:41What's going on?
51:43I don't know, lad.
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. I 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.
52:36Mrs. 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.
52:47Blood 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.
53:3425ましょう.
53:4625 Puerto Rico now.
54:00Didn't you say how unhappy she was in the marriage?
54:07Yes.
54:11That'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.
54:32She's still wearing the same clothes.
54:36Couldn't it have found her something else?
54:39It was covered in our husband's blood.
54:43A patient's loved one has joined the grieving Mrs. Kennedy for a...
54:47No, I think it's deliberate.
54:48Before 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.
54:59Lyndon Johnson, sworn in on Air Force One less than 100 minutes after the official death of President Kennedy.
55:22And I would 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.
55:36Ma'am, custom dictates that the bell only be rung...
55:41When a member of the royal family dies, I know.
55:46But I would like it to be rung...
55:48My best, that is all...
55:49...every minute.
55:51For an hour.
55:53I ask for your help...
55:54From 11 o'clock until midday.
55:56...all gods...
56:09...all gods...
56:10...in the darkness of the days that lie ahead.
56:13...IN THE DARKNES OF THE DAYS THAT LIE AHEAD...
56:38...IN THE DARKNESS OF THE DAYS THAT LIE AHEAD...
56:40Let's go.
57:10Let's go.
57:42Let's go.
58:12Let's go.
58:40Let's go.
