00:01She's so narrow.
00:08Look at these trees.
00:12They're gorgeous.
00:14You okay?
00:16Yes, I'm fine.
00:20Well, we're just trying to lock down investors right now,
00:23which, needless to say, has been a 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. What did you expect?
00:34I know.
00:35And I'm happy to do the work,
00:37but I don't want people to see George and think of me.
00:42I want it to have its own identity.
00:46You think your father won his congressional seat solely on there?
00:50No.
00:52He capitalized on his charm, his magnetism,
00:56his father's good fortune, and then he used his platform to do good and to prove himself.
01:05Now, I know it's important to you that you be your own man, but, sweetheart, there are so many doors
01:12open to you.
01:13You don't have to build one and run through it just to say you did.
01:18Can we please not do this again?
01:20All I'm saying is,
01:23your last name doesn't need to be this albatross from which you need to escape.
01:28This is why I wish you'd seek out Maurice's advice more.
01:32Yes, but I have spoken with him.
01:34He's always going to be there for you.
01:37Why are you saying it like that?
01:39Well, I just mean you ought to take advantage of his counsel.
01:45Oh, let's just get Caroline and head home, shall we?
01:49The last thing I need is to give them a shot of me catching my breath or withering away.
01:56Gone are the days when my style used to sell the papers.
01:59Oh, please.
02:01You could walk down Fifth Avenue in a bunny costume and people would be like,
02:05Oh, where did you get that suit?
02:08There'd be models walking down runways, hopping, actually.
02:11Cotton tails, the whole thing.
02:14Please don't make me laugh.
02:16I'm sorry.
02:17Are you okay?
02:19Yes, yes, I'm fine.
02:21It's a good kind of pain.
02:24You sure you don't want to keep walking?
02:26No.
02:26You know, I'm actually quite hungry.
02:29Good. Good.
02:30And appetite's a good sign.
02:32Thank you, Tony.
02:52Whoa.
02:53Looks like a greenhouse in here.
02:55Would you like me to bring them up?
02:56Yes, please, Tony.
02:59You're in my reflections.
03:01Michael Jackson?
03:02Mom secured his book deal.
03:07Daryl?
03:08Thought we'd all been shunned after a dog ate.
03:12It's quite magnanimous of her.
03:14You always have such nice things to say after they're gone.
03:17I'm just still trying to imagine what everyone on that flight must have been thinking when they saw you with
03:21those ashes.
03:21Why do you think I'm trying to get my pilot's license?
03:24All righty. I gotta go.
03:26Okay.
03:26Sure you don't want to handle this?
03:27No, I'm good. Thank you.
03:29Okay.
03:29Just take the vultures with you when you go, will you?
03:32Okay.
03:34Did you want to take the service entrance, Mr. Kennedy?
03:36No, I'm good.
03:47Come on, walk faster. We're almost there.
03:49I'm trying to make sure I don't hit anything.
03:53Oh, my God.
03:56You ready?
03:57Yeah, I guess.
04:00New York, eat your fucking heart up.
04:04Holy shit.
04:06I feel like I'm hallucinating.
04:10Jesus, you can really see my dick, huh?
04:12Yeah, it's better than the alternative.
04:15Should we linger?
04:16See if anyone notices you?
04:17I can't believe you made that happen for me.
04:19No, you just put your head shot in a mile.
04:25Take your photo.
04:27Come on.
04:29Oh, wait. I want you to be in with me.
04:30No, no, no. This is your moment. Go.
04:39Smile.
04:40Good job.
04:43Should we have gotten a doggy bag?
04:45For what?
04:47Clean my plate.
04:48I asked if I could have a fry, and you stated unequivocally
04:51I could have as many as I wanted.
04:55Well, that's because you didn't necessarily give me a choice.
04:59We got the check, right?
05:01Do you have somewhere you have to be?
05:03Uh, no. I just...
05:05I don't have any cash on me, so...
05:10What?
05:13Of all the gin joints.
05:15Yeah.
05:18I'm a sucker for a laminated venue.
05:22Uh, John, this is my friend Michael.
05:26Nice to meet you.
05:27Nice to meet you.
05:29I see you got a new bike.
05:30I did, yeah.
05:32I reported the last one stolen, but, uh, I think the case has gone cold.
05:35Oh, and yet still no walk.
05:38Well, you know, baby steps.
05:39Maybe we start with a helmet and work our way up from there.
05:42Over this set of hair?
05:43I don't think so.
05:45John, I got your order ready.
05:48Thanks, Joe.
05:48You got it.
05:50It was nice to see you.
05:52It's nice to see you, too.
05:55And, um...
05:56I'm thinking about your mom.
06:00I appreciate that.
06:04Nice to meet you, Mike.
06:05Good to see you.
06:07See you around.
06:08Great.
06:17Uh, so what's, what's up for the rest of the day?
06:20So we're just gonna ignore that just happened.
06:23I'm gonna catch up on your face.
06:35In my solitude
06:44You haunt me
06:50With reveries
06:54Of days gone by
07:01In my solitude, you taught me, dear Lord of God.
07:19What are you doing?
07:23I don't need my personal correspondence memorialized in the Smithsonian.
07:28You don't need to do that, Mom.
07:30Mom, I can see that those letters are locked away and sealed.
07:32I don't want them to be preserved, publicly or privately.
07:37There's a reason no one likes to read the fine print.
07:40Takes all the fun out of it.
07:43Is there a reason why you're doing this now?
07:46Well, unlike you, I don't like to put things off until the last minute.
07:53Speaking of, how's your love life?
07:56I'm not prying. I'm just genuinely curious.
08:02I guess you could say I'm in kind of a transition period.
08:07Somehow, in an effort not to upset anybody, I've upset everyone.
08:12One person in particular who is...
08:16She's special.
08:18Well, confrontation's never been your strong suit.
08:21And have I read about this special person?
08:27No.
08:29And frankly, that's part of the appeal.
08:32She's not interested in that.
08:34She seems to know who she is.
08:38And when she looks at me, I can tell that she knows that I don't.
08:44Know who you are.
08:48You know, I remember the first night your father and I spent at the White House.
08:54He turned to me and he said,
08:57Can you believe where we are?
09:00And I said, Of course I can.
09:03How do you think we got here?
09:05In some ways, our life together was more of a realization of my dream than his.
09:12Not that I ever imagined myself in the White House,
09:16but your father, well, he could have been happy sailing or riding his whole life,
09:22but I, for whatever reason,
09:27well, I always knew I was bound for a different life than everyone else.
09:33Something more.
09:37I've been reading some of the tributes.
09:42Why are you saying it like that?
09:44Well,
09:46absent the past tense,
09:48they're essentially obituaries.
09:51Well, isn't it nice to be around?
09:53So you can read it?
09:55See how much you mean to people?
09:56It's not the adulation I question.
10:00It's where it stems from, how it came to be.
10:04I can't help but sometimes wonder how I'd be remembered if I hadn't...
10:15If I wasn't...
10:17What?
10:20America's widow.
10:25That's not to say I'm not moved by the outpouring of love.
10:29It's just that...
10:31Well, pathos and recognition are two very, very, very different things.
10:38Do you really believe that that's what this is?
10:42Pity?
10:45It's not that.
10:48I think the world thought that we went through something together,
10:51that what happened in Dallas
10:54happened to all of us.
10:58You once told me that you had no choice but to go on after what happened,
11:02that anybody would.
11:04But you're wrong.
11:05You did have a choice.
11:14We grew up in people's living rooms.
11:18They feel like they know us,
11:20that we're a part of their family.
11:23Which is why whenever we do anything unseemly
11:27or at odds with their perception of us,
11:30they lash out with an even greater fervor.
11:33Of course, in their minds,
11:35we don't exist without them.
11:39Public's always holding a flower in one hand
11:43and a stone in the other.
11:47Don't forget that.
12:07Each evening,
12:09from December to December,
12:14before you drift to sleep upon your cot,
12:19think back on all the tales that you remember
12:25of Camelot.
12:30Ask every person if he's heard the story
12:35and tell it strong and clear if he has not
12:40that once there was a fleeting wisp of glory
12:44called Camelot.
12:51Camelot.
12:53Camelot.
12:56Camelot.
13:05Those were the legal laws.
13:11Where once it never rained till after sundown.
13:16By 8 a.m.
13:19The morning fog had flowed.
13:23Don't let it be forgot
13:25that once there was a spot
13:28for one brief shining moon
13:32that was known as Camelot.
13:43Camelot.
13:47Camelot.
13:49Camelot.
14:04Thank you for meeting me.
14:10I feel like we're trading state secrets.
14:17You know, I got jumped in a park once.
14:20What?
14:21I was like 15, riding my bike to a tennis lesson and this guy just socked me.
14:25Jacked my bike and took off.
14:26What is it with you and bikes?
14:28Didn't you have secret service?
14:29I did, but my mom always insisted that they kept their distance.
14:33She hated the idea of me moving through life like a coddled prince with a god complex.
14:38Hey, she still lets you rollerblade.
14:40Probably because they're harder to steal than a bike.
14:42Yeah, she used to love to send me to work on ranches, fishing boats, wilderness survival trips.
14:47She was always very keen on me being a real man.
14:50Whatever that means.
14:53She was probably scared she was going to mess you up and that she wasn't enough.
14:58She wanted you to feel more shortchanged than you already were.
15:02How is it that you have more insight into my family than my family?
15:05No, I just know there's no greater force on earth than that of a single mom.
15:11You'd think with twice the responsibility they'd get graded on a curve, but they're just forced to grin and bear
15:17it for a world dictated by the men who failed them.
15:20You feel like your dad failed your mom?
15:24I feel like you've healed a lot of people.
15:29But how is she doing your mom?
15:34I can tell she's scared.
15:36Which, I mean, I always knew there would come a point where I'd have to take care of her, but
15:40she's 64, you know?
15:42She's a survivor.
15:43That's what she does.
15:44She survives.
15:44Yeah.
15:50But think of all the lives she's lived in 64 years.
15:57I wish you could meet her.
15:59She'd love you.
16:05Sorry.
16:06No, it's fine. It's fine.
16:11I should probably go.
16:13Yeah.
16:23Why did you want to meet, though?
16:25I mean, you've got tons of friends and family.
16:30I don't know.
16:32You're just the person I wanted to see.
16:36What about, uh...
16:37Daryl?
16:38Yeah.
16:39She's back in LA.
16:41Indefinitely, it seems.
16:45You don't have to walk me home five minutes from here.
16:49I'll take the five minutes.
16:51If that's all right with you.
16:52And the belts with Sharpie.
16:54And no one noticed.
16:54Oh, no, no.
16:55Rave reviews across the board.
17:00Uh...
17:01I should go.
17:03Yeah, I wouldn't want to keep an underwear model waiting either.
17:05They must get very hungry.
17:07Did you look them up or something?
17:08No, I looked up at them.
17:10All 50 feet.
17:12We're friends.
17:13No one is just friends with an underwear model.
17:16They're basically sex symbols for trade.
17:19This coming from people's sexiest man alive.
17:21Well, that's different.
17:23How?
17:24Well, I'm not on a billboard in Times Square in my tighty-whities.
17:27Yeah, you're just shirtless everywhere else.
17:31Well, I'm happy for you and your budding friendship.
17:35Everyone needs a big, broad, muscular shoulder to cry on.
17:49Come on.
17:55Here we go.
18:07Come on.
18:11Do you still want to be a teacher when you grow up?
18:14I want to be a photographer.
18:16A photographer? You do? Since when?
18:21Do you know that Grandma used to be a photographer when she was a young girl?
18:26For a newspaper and everything.
18:28Do you want to hold my baby, Grandma?
18:31Oh, yes, I do. The baby with all the jewels.
18:37Oh, sweetheart, why don't you hold the baby and I'll go get her a blanket, yes?
18:49Grandma!
18:52Mommy!
18:57Mom? Mom?
19:00Eugene!
19:01Mommy? Mom?
19:03Eugene, call 911.
19:05Mommy, please don't.
19:07Mom!
19:09Mom!
19:22Make sure the hospital knows to register under an alias.
19:25Take care of me.
19:30It's okay, Mom. It's going to be okay.
19:43We were optimistic because the scans showed the cancer had dissipated from your chest and stomach.
19:50However, it does appear to have spread to your brain and spinal cord.
19:54At this point, we recommend a much more aggressive treatment.
19:58Can I pass my bag, please?
20:12Um, one in which we would drill a hole into your brain and insert a shunt.
20:17It would allow fluid buildup to drain and redirect to other parts of the brain.
20:55How much longer do you think we have?
20:57I mean, roughly, what's the general time frame for someone at this stage?
21:02It can vary significantly.
21:05Okay.
21:18Should we call Aunt Lee?
21:21In fact, it'll go a lot of different ways.
21:24Yeah, maybe we should call Anthony first.
21:26Yeah.
21:35What is it, Nancy?
21:36What's wrong?
21:38She asked to see Monsignor Bards.
21:41No.
21:41Why?
21:41It's what she wants.
21:43Last right?
21:43What?
21:45Why are we acting like this is happening right now?
21:48I mean, I know her time is limited, but that doesn't mean we just give up.
21:51Nancy, do not call him.
21:53I'm going to go talk to her.
21:54John, please.
21:55She wants to do this while she is still lucid, and we can't fault her for that.
22:24Would you like to give me your confession now?
22:35Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.
22:47I wanted to die after Jack.
22:53I thought there was supposed to be the both of us that day in Dallas.
23:06But I couldn't move.
23:09I froze.
23:13All I know is so, so mad at him.
23:19All he put me through.
23:23All the women.
23:26But I always protected him.
23:31Always.
23:32Even after he died.
23:38And I sat down with that journalist.
23:42And I gave him the fairy tale.
23:59There will never be another Camelot.
24:11And I want him to know.
24:20I forgive him.
24:27Jack.
24:46It is glory to have been tested, to have had our little quality, cast our little spell.
24:55The thing is to have made somebody care.
24:58You happen to be crazy, of course.
25:01But that doesn't affect the law.
25:05A second chance.
25:09That's the delusion.
25:12It was never meant to be but one.
25:15We work in the dark.
25:17We do what we can.
25:20We give what we have.
25:23Our doubt is our passion.
25:26Our passion is our passion.
25:32I'm sorry.
25:35What?
25:38What are you talking about?
25:42All this.
25:45It's just...
25:47Just for an idea.
25:57Oh, sweet heart.
26:00Oh, sweet heart.
26:05Oh, sweet heart.
28:12Last night, at around 10.15, my mother passed on.
28:17She was surrounded by her friends and her family and her books and the people and the things
28:22she loved.
28:24And she did it in her own way.
28:26And we all feel lucky for that.
28:30And now she's in God's hands.
28:44I will never understand it.
28:49What's that?
28:51Why, why we have to put on a brave face for them.
28:56Thank you so much for coming.
29:03I really, really appreciate it.
29:11John.
29:14Hi.
29:18I'm so sorry.
29:20I tried to get on an earlier flight and then everything was booked and then they lost my
29:24luggage and it was a whole...
29:25I didn't even know you were coming.
29:26Of course.
29:27She was your whole world.
29:28I meant to the wake.
29:29I figured I'd see you at the funeral, but how did you know that...
29:32Look, whatever happened between your mother and I, it doesn't matter.
29:35Life is too short and I know how much she meant to you.
29:39Is there a coat check?
29:41Oh, I'll just go put it in your room.
29:48It would have meant so much to her for you two to have traveled so far to be here today.
29:52Thank you so much.
29:53I still remember that trip she took with your father to Paris.
29:56Do you have any idea how elegant, how proficient someone has to be to impress the French?
30:01I was at a party at the Prince's Palace of Monaco and someone asked Princess Grace what
30:07it was like to be the most glamorous woman in the world.
30:09And you know what she said?
30:11I'll have to ask Jackie out.
30:13Of course.
30:15You know my Uncle Teddy.
30:17Pleasure to meet you, Senator Kennedy.
30:19All he's in is very capable, I answer.
30:21Sir, nice to meet you.
30:24I need your answer.
30:28Here you are.
30:30I don't think you might have disappeared.
30:32No, no, I've just been running around.
30:34How are you feeling?
30:36Um, I don't know.
30:38I haven't had a lot of time to process it, I think.
30:41Yeah.
30:42I mean, grief is weird that way.
30:44It kind of sneaks up on you and all you can do is succumb to it, you know?
30:48Like, when I lost Hank.
30:50Sorry about that.
30:51I mean, yes, he was a dog, but he was also, like, my child.
30:55Yeah.
30:56Of course, everyone keeps trying to find out what's going on with us.
31:00Like, in what capacity I'm here.
31:02People are asking you about our relationship status at my mother's wake?
31:06I mean, not explicitly, but, like...
31:08Well, we haven't spoken in months, so...
31:10Exactly.
31:11There's a lot that remains unsaid.
31:14Hey, Nancy, have you seen Caroline?
31:16I think she just needed a minute.
31:18I'm gonna go check on my sister, but I'll...
31:21I'll talk to you later.
31:24Of course.
31:38Hey, it's all right.
31:40I just...
31:40It's okay.
31:41I know it's crazy out there.
31:50I don't think anyone out there has said one thing about her that I'm gonna miss.
31:54I'm not gonna miss her poise or her love for the written word.
31:58It's like they're all afraid to admit she was just a person.
32:01Like, somehow acknowledging even the slightest imperfection would somehow discount their proximity to her.
32:11Remember when she found your weed plant in her garden at Hyannis?
32:17She didn't find it.
32:18A police officer found it.
32:20Oh, my God, that's right.
32:21What was he doing wandering around the garden at Hyannis?
32:24I don't know.
32:25I think a neighbor probably reported it.
32:27Well, I thought our neighbors loved us.
32:29Didn't you tell her it was a zucchini?
32:32Parsley.
32:33Zucchini?
32:34She was so mad.
32:35Her voice dropped into that really scary octave.
32:39Caroline?
32:40Marijuana?
32:41How could you?
32:43And in my garden, a botanical sanctuary.
32:46You had a real rebellious streak going there for a little while.
32:51Missed those days.
32:56I think I was just trying to find ways to tell her I was never gonna be like her.
33:02Well, I for one.
