00:00:00I believe in Houghton Caulfield, and the book, and what it was saying.
00:00:08What it was saying to a lost generation of phony people.
00:00:17We have arrested Mark David Chapman of 55 South Kukui, KUKUI Street, Hawaii,
00:00:28for the homicide of John Lennon.
00:00:32If you want to know, I mean, if you really want me to tell you about it, I will.
00:00:42But the first thing you probably want to know is all that stuff about my dad
00:00:48and what he did to my mom and me and all, the whole goddamn childhood.
00:00:55But I'm not going to tell you any of that stuff.
00:00:58That stuff isn't important.
00:01:01Not anymore.
00:01:01I'm not going to tell you any of that stuff.
00:01:58I'm not going to tell you any of that stuff.
00:02:00I don't know.
00:02:01But I'm not going to tell you any of that stuff.
00:03:06Hey, listen, you know those ducks, the ones in Central Park?
00:03:16Huh?
00:03:20The ducks, the ones that swim around that lake in Central Park, do you know it?
00:03:29You want to go there?
00:03:32No, no.
00:03:34Oh, yeah, maybe I will.
00:03:39It's just in the winter, when the lake freezes, where do they go?
00:03:47What are you saying?
00:03:50What happens to them?
00:03:52To the ducks?
00:03:53Where do they go?
00:03:54Where do they now?
00:03:56You gotta be kidding me, right?
00:03:59You gotta be.
00:04:01Ask me about ducks.
00:04:07All right, buddy.
00:04:08So where do you want me to take you?
00:04:09For real?
00:04:31I didn't know it at the time, but the whole goddamn place was full of perverts and morons.
00:04:38It depressed the hell out of me.
00:04:41It really did.
00:04:48Nobody in the world knew what was going on in that room, what was happening to me.
00:05:02Holden.
00:05:04Holden.
00:05:12Holden.
00:05:14Holden.
00:05:17Holden.
00:05:18Holden.
00:05:19Holden.
00:05:21Holden.
00:05:21Holden.
00:05:21It was December and all, and I went outside and walked a few blocks north.
00:05:27It was this kind of a crazy cold day.
00:05:31No sun out.
00:05:32No wind.
00:05:34Nothing.
00:05:36I went up to the Dakota, this strange building on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
00:05:43Holden.
00:05:45Holden.
00:05:47Holden.
00:05:51Holden.
00:05:51It was like something out of The Wizard of Oz.
00:06:04The home of the great, the powerful.
00:06:33The door.
00:06:37It's not that bad.
00:06:38You're waiting for somebody, huh?
00:06:43Hey, do you know?
00:06:46Do you know, is he home?
00:06:50I don't know.
00:06:52Okay, he's somewhere in New York City.
00:06:58Oh, my God.
00:07:00I can't believe I'm standing right here.
00:07:02You are.
00:07:03No, I'm sorry.
00:07:05You've got to understand, I've been a Beatles fan
00:07:08since I was a kid, and John is...
00:07:12was the genius people.
00:07:17Do you like his new album?
00:07:19Oh, here's a new album?
00:07:20Yeah, silly.
00:07:22Oh, no, wait, I read about that.
00:07:23It's, uh, double...
00:07:26Double fantasy.
00:07:27Double fantasy.
00:07:30It's amazing.
00:07:31You know, it's really real.
00:07:33It's flawless, really.
00:07:34It's flawless.
00:07:36I know, I...
00:07:37I came all the way from Hawaii just to get his autograph.
00:07:46You know, you should buy it.
00:07:48You should buy it and ask John to sign it.
00:07:54Yeah, sure.
00:07:56I will.
00:07:58You'll love it.
00:08:01Hey, Jude, um...
00:08:03We were going, right?
00:08:04Yeah.
00:08:05Wanted to go?
00:08:06Yeah.
00:08:07Yeah.
00:08:08I'm sorry.
00:08:09I'm Mark.
00:08:12Mark Chapman.
00:08:20I'm here to meet John Lennon.
00:08:30After a while, I left and walked over towards Broadway.
00:08:36I wanted to buy the new John Lennon album.
00:08:55It wasn't cheap, that's for sure.
00:08:58But I didn't give a damn.
00:09:01I get so happy when I think about that record, even now.
00:09:07I used to love the Beatles.
00:09:10I still love the Beatles.
00:09:13I swear to God, I really do.
00:09:21Sometimes I felt like the Beatles' music was made just for me.
00:09:40Hey!
00:09:41Alright, you got it.
00:09:45See that?
00:09:46Right there.
00:09:47Where they're standing?
00:09:48Does it look familiar?
00:09:49Oh, my God.
00:09:51Yeah.
00:09:53That's here.
00:09:56That's here.
00:09:57That's right over there.
00:10:00He stood right here.
00:10:03Well, the heel coat was over here.
00:10:07Pretty neat, huh?
00:10:13You guys are pathetic.
00:10:21It's okay.
00:10:22Okay, you guys are good.
00:10:28I think that's right here.
00:10:29You're really doing our best.
00:10:30You're really just good.
00:10:34Maybe you're good.
00:10:36You're really good.
00:10:36You're really good.
00:10:36You're really good.
00:10:37You're really good.
00:10:38I'm good.
00:10:39You're really good.
00:10:40You're right.
00:10:42You're so good.
00:10:43I'm happy.
00:10:45It's friendship.
00:10:45I'm happy for you.
00:10:58Hey, you. We were going to go see the movie. A movie later. Hello? Do you want to come?
00:11:09What? We were going to go see a movie later. Do you want to come?
00:11:18Oh, no. No. I hate the movies. They're phony. So goddamn phony. I mean, look at the actors.
00:11:31They're always clutching their foreheads and breathing deep. It's like they know they're
00:11:35acting and they know how good they are. And goddamn it, they're going to show you.
00:11:42No, I can't stand it. It drives me insane. It drives me absolutely insane if you want to know the
00:11:50truth.
00:11:52Okay.
00:11:55I know I can take you gals to dinner. I mean, if you want. You like Japanese food? I've been
00:12:04to Japan. I've been all over the world.
00:12:08Okay.
00:12:09Great. It's settled then. I'll take you guys to dinner at a Japanese food restaurant. My treat.
00:12:18All right. Bye-bye. Don't forget.
00:12:46I waited and I waited for what felt like forever.
00:12:50I waited for what felt like forever. But nothing happened. No one came.
00:13:03I thought about waiting for that girl, the fan. But I knew she wouldn't come back.
00:13:12No one ever does anything they say they will.
00:13:18And it was so cold. It was scary.
00:13:23I felt like I was disappearing every time I crossed the street.
00:13:39I'm too vulnerable for a world full of pain and lies and phoniness.
00:14:05I didn't know she was taking revenge on her.
00:14:20There were these two obvious homosexuals in the room next door, and they were loud and
00:14:28drunk and laughing like whatever they were doing was the funniest goddamn thing in the
00:14:33world. I swear to God, I was the only normal bastard in that lousy dump. Help me, devil.
00:14:59Kill them. Go over there and shoot them.
00:15:15Don't.
00:15:25Taxi.
00:15:36Take me someplace nice. A nice hotel. Not too expensive or anything. Just nice.
00:15:47No problem.
00:15:55Hey, do you want to stop and have a drink with me or something? I've got plenty of money.
00:16:00I'll buy.
00:16:01No, no drinking tonight.
00:16:13You like rock and roll?
00:16:16Yeah.
00:16:19You like Beatles music?
00:16:22Yeah.
00:16:25I have to tell you something. I just have to blurt this out. I was at a recording session
00:16:32tonight with John Lennon and Paul McCartney. They recorded an album together. They recorded
00:16:41for three hours straight. I'm the engineer. And they met me and they told me how much they
00:16:50like my work. And to me, it's just so ecstatic to think that John Lennon and Paul McCartney
00:17:04would tell me how great they think my work is. You know, from them to me. Everything. It
00:17:14all just... I just had to tell you that. The cabbie told me that Jimmy Carter stayed at that
00:17:30hotel. And when he was the president, too. He told me he did it to show everyone what
00:17:38a regular guy he was. I thought that was hysterical. The president staying at a regular hotel like
00:17:47this. That cracked me up. I had a little bit of dough, but not so much that I could stay
00:17:58in a place like that forever. Goddamn money. It always ends up depressing the hell out of
00:18:05you. Very soon he will leave his home. If he stays outside and is not frightened by his shadow,
00:18:22that will be my sign to move on. But if his shadow frightens him? Six more weeks of winter.
00:18:35But, sir, spring can't come early. I've got to keep that castle snowbound. Oh, please, sir,
00:18:42don't take winter away. Not yet. It's hard to me, Jack Frost. I take my orders from nature.
00:18:49When she gives me a certain sign, I know it's my time to leave. What sign, sir?
00:19:13Steve, how you doing? I'm doing fine. And how'd you know my name? You don't remember me? I was here
00:19:24a
00:19:24little over a month ago. From Hawaii. I was here to see John Lennon. Nope.
00:19:36Okay, well, uh... Last time I didn't do it...
00:19:54get to meet him, I mean. But I'm back. Do you know? Is he, uh... Is he home?
00:20:13Actually, I think he might be out of town. Huh.
00:20:29You mind if I wait and see? Be my guest. But, uh, step back a bit?
00:20:43I gave a great deal of myself to what John Lennon had said, and sung about, and told us all
00:20:51to do.
00:20:55His music and his lyrics provided me with everything I needed. What I really love about a song or a
00:21:03book, if it's really good, I mean if the writer is really talking to you, then you feel like they're
00:21:10this really great friend of yours, and you can just call them up on the phone whenever you want.
00:21:28Everyone needs something to find something. Everyone is cracked and broken.
00:21:45You have to find something to fix you. To give you what you need. To take you away. And make
00:21:56you whole.
00:21:59You have to find something to trick me.
00:22:01Oh, God.
00:22:02I'm doing this thing to help you.
00:22:03Well, how's my husband, what do I feel?
00:22:04You makele song.
00:22:05You makele song.
00:22:05Oh, God.
00:22:05That's a great song.
00:22:05Oh, God.
00:22:05How does he know?
00:22:12Oh, God.
00:22:14Oh, God.
00:22:20Oh, God.
00:22:30I'm getting it for the articles.
00:22:35Okay. Anything else?
00:22:39Oh, yes.
00:22:45This.
00:22:51I'm gonna be meeting him soon.
00:22:57I went and read that article with John Lennon.
00:23:01It said all he ate was sushi and sashimi
00:23:05and Hershey's bars with almonds
00:23:08and that he smoked French cigarettes.
00:23:13And when they asked if the Beatles would ever get back together,
00:23:16he said just because a whole pile of dummies missed it the first time,
00:23:19he shouldn't have to be crucified again.
00:23:22He shouldn't have to walk on water again.
00:23:24He said he shouldn't have to divide the fish for the multitudes again.
00:23:31He really settled that.
00:23:33And here he was living this sumptuous life.
00:23:39Imagine no possessions.
00:23:41The bastard had millions.
00:23:45Yachts.
00:23:47Farms.
00:23:48Countryside.
00:23:50Estates.
00:23:51And who the hell knows what else.
00:23:56He turned his back on everyone.
00:24:01That was a tremendous confirmation for me.
00:24:11I started to think maybe I should get a woman for the night.
00:24:18In case I wouldn't be able to again for a long time.
00:24:25Do you have anybody exotic?
00:24:29A woman from another country?
00:24:34I don't want her to talk much.
00:24:37I want her to be quiet.
00:24:41I'll tip her well if she doesn't talk.
00:24:53You don't have to be nervous.
00:24:57I'm not a weirdo.
00:25:00I just...
00:25:01I wanted to be in the company of a woman tonight.
00:25:12I think tomorrow...
00:25:15will be a very rough day for me.
00:25:28Do you want...
00:25:30Do you want a massage?
00:25:50Do you want a massage?
00:25:52Take off your dress.
00:25:55And get in bed.
00:26:12Can we put on the radio?
00:26:49I like your dress I like the color
00:27:23Some things are hard to remember
00:27:27I'm thinking now when the woman left
00:27:31I just wanted to kill myself
00:27:34I thought about just throwing myself out the goddamn window
00:27:45I'd like to make a collect call
00:27:49To Hawaii
00:27:50Okay sir, one moment please
00:27:52Who shall I say is calling?
00:27:54Holden Caulfield
00:27:56One moment Mr. Caulfield
00:28:01Hey, is that you?
00:28:03Hi
00:28:05Hey
00:28:06Hi
00:28:10I know I said I wasn't going to call
00:28:12But uh, well you know me
00:28:15I'm always changing my plans
00:28:19It's okay
00:28:20I'm glad you called
00:28:23I'm really glad
00:28:25You sound like you're doing okay
00:28:27I am
00:28:28I'm okay
00:28:31I finished your book
00:28:33Very good
00:28:37Did you like it?
00:28:39It was good
00:28:40It was really good
00:28:42It was very sweet
00:28:43It's sad
00:28:44It reminds me of you
00:28:46The way your mind works
00:28:48I like it too
00:28:53How was your party
00:28:55The one that you were going to on Saturday night?
00:28:59It was fun
00:29:02I'm sorry I didn't wish you a happy party
00:29:05I just wasn't thinking about things like that before I left
00:29:08It's okay
00:29:09I know
00:29:10I know you
00:29:12You're my husband
00:29:15It's getting so late here
00:29:17I just
00:29:17I can't seem to get to sleep
00:29:22Well I just got into bed
00:29:24And I'm reading my Bible
00:29:27Maybe you should try
00:29:28Working on your problems
00:29:30One at a time
00:29:32Maybe the first one
00:29:33Should be getting back with Christ again
00:29:36And after that
00:29:37You can just ask him for his help
00:29:39With the others
00:29:45Hello?
00:29:50Yes I agree
00:29:53My little Bible is on the nightstand right now
00:29:56Good
00:29:57That's good
00:30:02Do you remember what I told you
00:30:07The night before I left
00:30:10Sort of
00:30:11I do
00:30:12I was asleep
00:30:16I told you that I loved you
00:30:20I love you very much
00:30:24More than anyone else
00:30:25I love you too
00:30:31You're my gemstone
00:30:38Goodbye
00:30:40Goodbye

00:31:17I love you too
00:31:18to kill John Lennon.
00:31:55This isn't like last time.
00:31:58Something's going to happen.
00:32:01This is happening.
00:32:40That morning, everything had changed.
00:32:46It just felt different.
00:32:52And I knew.
00:33:01I knew in my bones I would never see my hotel room again.
00:33:10I laid out the few possessions I had managed to keep.
00:33:15Just all the things that meant something.
00:33:22A letter of commendation for my work with Vietnamese children.
00:33:27My passport.
00:33:29And a couple of photographs from my trip around the world.
00:33:35What was left of my life.
00:33:38What was left of my life?
00:34:27What was left of my life?
00:34:33What it was like.
00:34:38so that when they came the police or whoever it was going to be what everyone would want to know
00:34:47who i was
00:34:51who i had become
00:34:56and maybe if i found myself unable to speak or something this would tell them who i was before
00:35:15so
00:35:57I don't know.
00:36:53I am holding.
00:37:15I am gone now.
00:37:19Becoming something new.
00:37:29Somebody, somebody coming through the rye.
00:37:36We'll walk on each other.
00:38:03We'll walk on each other.
00:38:36We'll walk on each other.
00:38:36It was ducks.
00:38:37The taxi.
00:38:38She had a teeny voice.
00:38:40And the prostitute with a green dress.
00:38:43This isn't like last time.
00:38:45The old man carried my bag.
00:38:47My own.
00:38:49This is different.
00:38:51I can feel it.
00:38:52Something will catch me.
00:38:54This is not a coincidence.
00:38:55I'm being a big for you, Lebride.
00:38:57I can feel it.
00:38:59I can feel it.
00:39:10I can feel it.
00:39:11I can feel it.
00:40:07Good morning.
00:40:08Do you know if John Lennon is going to come out today?
00:40:10I've got his new album here
00:40:12and I was hoping to get his autograph.
00:40:15I can't help you.
00:40:19Look, I understand.
00:40:21I know how it is.
00:40:23I've been waiting for two days already
00:40:25and I just,
00:40:26I really want to meet him, you know?
00:40:31Well, you see, the thing is,
00:40:32I'm not the regular doorman here,
00:40:34so I don't know much about John Lennon.
00:40:38I knew it.
00:40:40I knew it.
00:40:41I knew it was something like that.
00:40:44Ha!
00:40:47You see, this is my second time here.
00:40:50Last time I thought I'd met all the doorman.
00:40:53I thought I met them all.
00:40:54But sure, I thought I'd seen them all.
00:41:00But I've been waiting a long time.
00:41:10All right.
00:41:14Look,
00:41:16he may have left earlier,
00:41:18before I came on.
00:41:19Somebody told me he left.
00:41:23John Lennon?
00:41:24Mm-hmm?
00:41:25John Lennon.
00:41:27You're serious.
00:41:27You're not joking.
00:41:28No.
00:41:35Do you know where he went?
00:41:36Do you know when he's going to be back?
00:41:38Do you?
00:41:39No.
00:41:39No, I don't.
00:41:42No.
00:42:06He's here.
00:42:15It says it was a Monday.
00:42:17A Monday, you know?
00:42:19Pretty near Christmas.
00:42:21This is it.
00:42:22It's real this time.
00:42:24This is not a coincidence.
00:42:27I'm going to be with you, Holden.
00:42:29In the rye.
00:42:31In the rye.
00:42:32I'll just disappear into the ink of the book.
00:42:37No.
00:42:37That won't happen.
00:42:40That's an unreality.
00:42:42But something will.
00:42:43Something will.
00:42:44I'll go into the feet of the book.
00:42:46Something is going to happen.
00:42:50May I be deaf.
00:42:52A deaf mute.
00:42:53Holden.
00:42:54Yes.
00:42:54And I'll never speak again.
00:42:55I'm done with that.
00:42:56I tried to be a good person.
00:42:58I can see it.
00:42:59I can see it.
00:43:00It's all over.
00:43:01Holden.
00:43:02I'm taking a stand now.
00:43:04And the whole world will know.
00:43:07A man with stillness and blackness all around him.
00:43:11A man who would no longer do anything for anybody anymore.
00:43:15A man refusing.
00:43:18Refusing to have anything to do with the world.
00:43:21And the world would never intrude.
00:43:24Hey.
00:43:24Hey, buddy.
00:43:24Hey.
00:43:25What?
00:43:27You see him?
00:43:29Wow.
00:43:30Mr. Lenny just came inside.
00:43:32He just came in.
00:43:33You didn't see him?
00:43:40I guess it wasn't meant to be.
00:43:44I'll just have to keep waiting.
00:43:46Yeah.
00:43:46Here's a lad.
00:43:47You wait him out.
00:43:50It's okay.
00:43:53Don't worry.
00:43:57It wasn't meant to happen.
00:44:01When the time is right, it'll happen.
00:44:05It won't be long.
00:44:09Some very serious thoughts came into my mind of leaving.
00:44:14Abandoning the idea of going back to the hotel, checking out, getting a cab to the airport, and flying the
00:44:19hell out of there.
00:44:21I would talk myself out of it and then say, go now before it gets a hold of you again.
00:44:26Hey, Mark.
00:44:27Don't make it bad.
00:44:31Hey, Jude.
00:44:40Do you mind?
00:44:42I...
00:44:44I want to sit facing...
00:44:47Oh.
00:44:48You want to sit here?
00:44:53So I can keep my eye out.
00:44:59Just in case.
00:45:01Yeah, sure.
00:45:05So, the other night...
00:45:06No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:45:08Yeah.
00:45:08Jerry and I were waiting.
00:45:10Jerry and I were waiting.
00:45:11Oh.
00:45:12Um, for you.
00:45:14And then she wanted to go, but of course I wanted to stay.
00:45:19And then I wanted to go, and we were gonna go.
00:45:22And then as we were leaving, a cab pulled up, and it was John.
00:45:29Just John.
00:45:32Anyway, he talked to us for a bit, and, um, Jerry bummed one of his cigarettes.
00:45:37Which was great.
00:45:41I've read their French.
00:46:02So, do you like New York?
00:46:07I guess that's a no.
00:46:09Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
00:46:11It's okay.
00:46:12It's okay.
00:46:14I just, I mean...
00:46:16It's kind of dirty.
00:46:19Sometimes.
00:46:22It's nothing like Hawaii.
00:46:24Hawaii.
00:46:26Hawaii is amazing.
00:46:28I'll bet.
00:46:30Hawaii changed my life.
00:46:32It really did.
00:46:35When I first got out there, I was...
00:46:39You know, I thought I was...
00:46:43I thought I was done.
00:46:49Hawaii saved my life.
00:46:51It saved my life.
00:46:54It did.
00:46:54It really, really did.
00:46:56You know, I'd really like to go there sometime.
00:46:59But I don't think...
00:47:00No, no, no.
00:47:00Don't, don't, don't ever say that.
00:47:03Don't ever say anything like that.
00:47:06What?
00:47:08You can do anything.
00:47:09You can do anything.
00:47:10If you set your mind to it, you can do anything.
00:47:17The human mind.
00:47:21The human mind is an incredible thing.
00:47:27Once its mind is made up, it can do anything.
00:47:35Then maybe I'll go.
00:47:36No, not maybe, not maybe.
00:47:38You've got to decide in your mind that you will.
00:47:43Okay, I will.
00:47:44You've got to say it.
00:47:47You've got to say it.
00:47:48You've got to know it.
00:47:53Say it.
00:47:59Someday I will go to Hawaii.
00:48:05Very good.
00:48:09Very good.
00:48:10It's like I told my mother before I left.
00:48:15I knew I was going to do something big.
00:48:17I just didn't know if it was going to be good or bad.
00:48:23What do you mean?
00:48:28What do you mean by that?
00:48:34Hey.
00:48:36Do you want to go someplace with me?
00:48:39You and me?
00:48:41We could just leave right now.
00:48:43Just go.
00:48:44Just get out of here.
00:48:45Right now.
00:48:45What do you say?
00:48:46Yeah, we could go.
00:48:48Can't just leave right now.
00:48:49Why the hell not?
00:48:54Yeah, we could plan a day trip or something.
00:48:59You know, she took me halfway there.
00:49:01No, no, no.
00:49:02Not like that.
00:49:03Then there'd be cabs and elevators and all that crap.
00:49:07We have to go now.
00:49:08We have to go now.
00:49:11Well, I have stuff to do.
00:49:23Just forget it.
00:49:24I don't even know why the hell I said it.
00:49:28We're not going to go anywhere.
00:49:33But you should remember me.
00:49:39You should.
00:49:42You should.
00:49:58Hey, shouldn't we be closer?
00:50:00How come you never wait inside there or anything?
00:50:04Sometimes it's good not to be right there.
00:50:06You know, there when we'll come out.
00:50:10Besides, some of the best times.
00:50:12When John's leaving Central Park.
00:50:15There's this coffee shop that he goes to.
00:50:18Shows that he's real.
00:50:20Wow.
00:50:22Oh, hey.
00:50:23See that guy right there?
00:50:24That's John's assistant.
00:50:25Frederick.
00:50:26We have?
00:50:27Yeah.
00:50:36Frederick?
00:50:38Frederick!
00:50:42God damn it!
00:50:43I hope he comes out in focus this time.
00:50:45Last time was a little blurry.
00:50:48No, you know, I got a dark room.
00:50:50I tried to catch him, but he saw me.
00:50:52He went inside a yard away.
00:50:54Um, this is my friend.
00:50:56He's a Beatles fan from Hawaii.
00:50:58Oh, hey, Hawaii.
00:50:59Cool, man.
00:50:59How's it hanging?
00:51:01Paul.
00:51:02Paul's a photographer.
00:51:05You trying to catch somebody?
00:51:07That fellow over there is John Lennon's assistant.
00:51:10Oh, Freddie.
00:51:11He's, uh...
00:51:14He's, uh...
00:51:15You should meet him.
00:51:16Yeah.
00:51:18I'm just here to get John Lennon's autograph.
00:51:21So, you gonna do any touristy stuff?
00:51:27Oh, no, no, no, no, I'm not gonna do that.
00:51:32No.
00:51:34Well, you know why they call this building in the Dakota?
00:51:36Because, uh, when it was first built in the 1800s, there was nothing up here.
00:51:40It was just farm.
00:51:41And they're like, well, if you lived up here, you might as well be living out in Dakota.
00:51:44I don't even think Dakota was south and north Dakota yet.
00:51:47It was just like a territory.
00:51:49And they also, they, uh, they shot Rosemary's Baby here.
00:51:52The movie?
00:51:54No, the baby.
00:51:55Yeah, the movie.
00:51:56They shot it here in the Dakota.
00:52:00Oh, wow.
00:52:02Really.
00:52:04I thought you didn't like movies.
00:52:06Oh, some I like, some are okay.
00:52:09The Wizard of Oz is wonderful.
00:52:12Rosemary's Baby is pretty good, I guess.
00:52:14It's not too phony.
00:52:15I didn't like that movie.
00:52:17Why?
00:52:18Because it says everyone who lives in the Dakota worships Satan?
00:52:21Well, yes.
00:52:22Also, because very slow moving, nothing happens till the end, and...
00:52:26Yeah, but, Jude, that's Polanski.
00:52:28Well, then, I don't like...
00:52:30Hey, wait, wait, wait, that, that, that, that's the guy.
00:52:34Charles Manson killed his wife.
00:52:37Right?
00:52:38It's your auntie.
00:52:39Yeah, she was, she was pregnant, so...
00:52:43And beautiful.
00:52:43Hell, too skilled.
00:52:47John Lennon.
00:52:49John Lennon.
00:52:51Lives in a building...
00:52:53Where a film...
00:52:55About Satan coming to Earth.
00:52:59About the director.
00:53:01His wife and child were killed because of a song that...
00:53:05John Lennon...
00:53:08Oh, my God.
00:53:09John, this is not a coincidence.
00:53:12Today's the day.
00:53:15Today is the day.
00:53:18What's the way of looking at it?
00:53:21It's no coincidence.
00:53:25Hey, uh, where'd you say you were from again?
00:53:29What?
00:53:31You don't sound like you're from Hawaii.
00:53:33What?
00:53:34He knows.
00:53:36He knows.
00:53:37Get him.
00:53:38Why would you ask me that?
00:53:40Hey, take it easy.
00:53:41I was only asking...
00:53:42Why would you ask me something like that?
00:53:45Like that?
00:53:46You don't sound like you're from Hawaii.
00:53:47Why would you say...
00:53:57Take it easy.
00:54:00Did you see him?
00:54:02Did you see that?
00:54:06Hey, you know, I'm...
00:54:07I gotta go.
00:54:08I'm gonna...
00:54:09So I should probably go.
00:54:26Hello.
00:54:28Hi.
00:54:28Hi, Sean.
00:54:30Oh, dear.
00:54:32Yes.
00:54:34Is he your friend?
00:54:37Oh, he's a Beatles fan.
00:54:40From Hawaii.
00:54:42Hoping to get John's autograph.
00:54:44It's nice to meet you.
00:54:46This is Helen, Sean's nanny.
00:54:48Oh.
00:54:49This is a little heartbreaker.
00:54:52This is Sean.
00:54:53Hi, Sean.
00:54:54Bye.
00:55:00I flew all the way across the ocean from Hawaii, and it's an honor to meet you, Mr. Lennon.
00:55:10You better take care of that runny nose.
00:55:13Because you wouldn't want to get sick of Miss Christmas.
00:55:16Well, it's time for us to go.
00:55:19Bye-bye.
00:55:21Wave bye to Jude.
00:55:24Bye.
00:55:24Bye.
00:55:24See you soon.
00:55:25Hope you get your autograph.
00:55:27Have a good day.
00:55:34John and Yoko must be so proud.
00:55:37Yeah.
00:55:39Well, I hope you get your record signed, and I hope you listen to it.
00:55:42But you're not going to leave yet, are you?
00:55:45We haven't even seen John.
00:55:46Yeah, I know.
00:55:47But it was good seeing you again.
00:55:50I gotta go.
00:55:51Thanks, but you should stay.
00:55:53I'd love to, but I can't.
00:55:55Well, then stay.
00:55:57No, I'm tired.
00:55:59No, no, no, wait.
00:55:59I really should go home.
00:56:00Just a little bit longer.
00:56:01I know he's going to come out.
00:56:02I know it.
00:56:03I know it.
00:56:03I know it.
00:56:05Maybe some other time.
00:56:06I know he's going to come out.
00:56:09He's got to, you know?
00:56:10I'm sorry.
00:56:12I can't.
00:56:14Good luck.
00:56:14Please, please, wait.
00:56:20I said wait.
00:56:28It's over.
00:56:51It was like this crazy stage had been set up, and all the actors were coming and going.
00:57:00I was merely an image.
00:57:02A tin man playing a Beatles fan, playing an autograph seeker.
00:57:10And underneath, I was a boiling cauldron of rage.
00:57:14But no one could tell a goddamn thing.
00:57:20Soon all the other actors would leave, and I would be all alone.
00:57:35I guess it's down to just us diehard Beatleholics, huh?
00:57:42Listen about my behavior earlier.
00:57:48It's just I was told you can never be too careful in New York City.
00:57:53I really am sorry.
00:58:03It's all right.
00:58:04It's fine.
00:58:08I didn't want to be waiting out here all by myself.
00:58:12What the hell?
00:58:13You start a conversation with the guy, and out of nowhere, you get hostile.
00:58:18Well, I'm just testy, I guess.
00:58:21I've been waiting out here for three days.
00:58:24Great.
00:58:30Maybe it's all those, uh, all those stories I've heard.
00:58:34But, you know, you never know who you're talking to.
00:58:43You're gonna bend your album there.
00:58:46Nobody's gonna steal out here, man.
00:58:59Hey, Jose.
00:59:01How are you?
00:59:02How are you?
00:59:02You remember me?
00:59:07John Lennon, right?
00:59:09John Lennon, right?
00:59:09John Lennon, right?
00:59:09That's me, the Beatles fan.
00:59:12All that way, again?
00:59:14Hey, do you know Paul?
00:59:16Hey, Paul, do you know Jose?
00:59:18You know Paul?
00:59:19Yeah, I know him.
00:59:21Just a guy who dresses up in a maintenance uniform, sneaks into my building and takes pictures.
00:59:27Oh, shame on you.
00:59:28These are private individuals.
00:59:31Oh.
00:59:32Do you know he makes money for this?
00:59:34No.
00:59:36Sure.
00:59:37Man?
00:59:37Who'd they pay for?
00:59:38John Lennon, obviously.
00:59:40Yoko, too.
00:59:42Gilda Radner, Roberta Flack, Lauren Bacall, Paul Simon.
00:59:48It's so strange.
00:59:49You know how when you see people for the first time, even though you know you've seen them
00:59:57before, it's...
00:59:58I mean, John Lennon must be the most famous person in the world, and I'd never seen him.
01:00:06Do you remember what I told you last time?
01:00:08You remember?
01:00:10I was definitely gonna meet John Lennon.
01:00:13That's what I said.
01:00:14Definitely.
01:00:14I said definitely.
01:00:15I remember.
01:00:17And I'm back.
01:00:19I flew all the way back.
01:00:21I spared no expense.
01:00:22I'm ready.
01:00:23I've got...
01:00:24I've got his new album here.
01:00:26And, uh, I've even got a new pen.
01:00:32Great.
01:00:34I got your book.
01:00:40This isn't just a book.
01:00:47This is everything.
01:00:49Never read it.
01:00:51Supposed to.
01:00:52About some kid, right?
01:00:54Yeah, old Carfield.
01:00:56Well, what happens?
01:01:03Well, this young fella, he leaves school, he runs away, and goes on this... this three-day
01:01:17journey through Manhattan, in a sense, to find himself.
01:01:28But he doesn't find anything but a bunch of phoniness that...
01:01:33Well, what makes it so great?
01:01:35I mean, that's it?
01:01:36How does it end?
01:01:38It doesn't really...
01:01:39It doesn't...
01:01:39It doesn't matter how it ends.
01:01:43It...
01:01:43He's...
01:01:44He's in a mental institution, and...
01:01:50He's...
01:01:51Telling us the story.
01:01:55That's where he's talking to us.
01:01:58In retrospect.
01:02:02Just...
01:02:04Just read it.
01:02:06Yeah.
01:02:13John?
01:02:13John?
01:02:13Your limo is ready.
01:02:14Hey, how are you doing?
01:02:16John, I'll be down.
01:02:17I'll find the tent.
01:02:18You're the best.
01:02:19Take care.
01:02:20All right.
01:02:21Good.
01:02:21John?
01:02:23John?
01:02:26John?
01:02:26John?
01:02:27John?
01:02:28John?
01:02:28John?
01:02:28John?
01:02:28I need to...
01:02:29You know mom?
01:02:31What happened?
01:02:34How are you doing, sir?
01:02:36Hello, say.
01:02:36How are you?
01:02:37Oh I'm sorry sir, but your limo has yet to have had.
01:02:40It's a morning mace.
01:02:41I'm alive in the morning.
01:02:42The suits.
01:02:49Hey, Johnny.
01:02:51Nice to see you.
01:03:05What the hell are you waiting for?
01:03:07There he is.
01:03:08Come on.
01:03:21You might have had me have a back look.
01:03:29Have you got a pen?
01:03:33Thanks.
01:03:48Is that all you want?
01:03:52Yeah.
01:03:53Thanks.
01:03:55You sure?
01:03:56That's all?
01:04:01Yeah, that's all.
01:04:03Thanks, John.
01:04:06You're welcome.
01:04:17That was really him.
01:04:28You know he wasn't real.
01:04:31Looks like he scored big time.
01:04:34Wow.
01:04:34You put the date on it and everything.
01:04:37Big stars don't usually put the dates on things.
01:04:39Do they?
01:04:40When they sign them?
01:04:43No.
01:04:43I don't think they do.
01:04:45Oh, wow.
01:04:45This is really, really unique.
01:04:49Yeah, I'm saying.
01:04:50Now what you got to do is get it framed.
01:04:53You.
01:04:54You were taking pictures.
01:04:56Right here.
01:04:58Did you take one of me and John?
01:05:00Did you?
01:05:01Did you take one of me and John?
01:05:03I think I might have.
01:05:04Oh, my.
01:05:06Oh, my God.
01:05:08Oh, my God.
01:05:10I'd do anything for that picture.
01:05:12I'd give you, uh...
01:05:14I'd give you $50 for it.
01:05:17Okay, man.
01:05:18Calm down.
01:05:19What?
01:05:22Can I get it tonight?
01:05:24Come on.
01:05:24I have to have it tonight.
01:05:25Have to.
01:05:26I don't know about tonight.
01:05:27I live in Jersey.
01:05:28It's kind of far.
01:05:29Well, then how about tomorrow?
01:05:30I'll meet you here.
01:05:31I'll meet you right here,
01:05:32and I'll give you $50 for it.
01:05:34I swear to God I will.
01:05:37Yeah, okay.
01:05:41Say it.
01:05:43Say it.
01:05:44Say it.
01:05:45Say it.
01:05:45Come on.
01:05:46Say it tomorrow.
01:05:49Yeah, tomorrow.
01:05:50I'll meet you here.
01:05:51And I'll give you $50 for the photo of John Lennon.
01:05:59Wait till they see this back home.
01:06:04They're never gonna believe it.
01:06:09But they'll have to.
01:06:11Guess so.
01:06:13Hey.
01:06:13Hey, Jose.
01:06:16Look what I've got.
01:06:17You see that?
01:06:17Oh, yeah.
01:06:19Very nice.
01:06:20Vaya.
01:06:21Congratulations.
01:06:22I knew it.
01:06:24You did it.
01:06:25I knew it.
01:06:26I knew it.
01:06:27You remember?
01:06:29Good for you.
01:06:31Good for you.
01:06:33Hey, Fred.
01:06:34Check this out.
01:06:36This guy came all the way from Hawaii and got John to sign his album.
01:06:39Check it out.
01:06:41Congratulations, man.
01:06:42It's great.
01:06:44It's really.
01:06:44It's brilliant.
01:06:47Hey, thanks for stopping.
01:06:49Do you know when they'll be back?
01:06:51Do you?
01:06:51Take it easy.
01:06:52Go back.
01:06:54Hey, they have to come back tonight, right?
01:06:57What time do you think they will?
01:06:59It's hard to say.
01:07:00If they just went to dinner, they'll be back in about an hour.
01:07:03But if they went to the studio, they could be gone all night.
01:07:07Okay.
01:07:08And, you know, I think, I'm thinking they probably went to the studio.
01:07:12In fact, I'm sure of it.
01:07:14So, uh, congratulations.
01:07:16Good night.
01:07:17Don't, don't, don't leave yet.
01:07:19What?
01:07:20Why not?
01:07:21They could be back any minute.
01:07:22What if John forgot something?
01:07:24What if, what if, what if, what if...
01:07:25What if I'm gonna go?
01:07:29Don't!
01:07:29Don't!
01:07:30Look, come on.
01:07:32They'll be back before midnight.
01:07:33I know it.
01:07:35Look, I'm coming back tomorrow with your photo.
01:07:39All right?
01:07:40Okay?
01:07:42Good.
01:07:43You got a real primo autograph from John Lennon.
01:07:46Go get some rest.
01:07:48Okay?
01:07:53Just a little longer.
01:07:55Please.
01:07:56Going home.
01:07:58I, I know I flew off the handle earlier.
01:08:01You just can never be too careful, you know?
01:08:02It's okay.
01:08:04You were right.
01:08:05You were right.
01:08:06What?
01:08:07Take the autograph.
01:08:08I'm not from Hawaii.
01:08:08Go home.
01:08:10I'm from Georgia originally.
01:08:12I, I grew up in a suburb just outside of Atlanta.
01:08:16Decatur, Georgia.
01:08:17That's great, man.
01:08:18Yeah, I should have said something earlier, but I guess it was the southern accent, huh?
01:08:22Yeah, that was it.
01:08:23It was the southern accent.
01:08:25Come on, come on, come on.
01:08:26Wait with me.
01:08:26Wait with me.
01:08:27Just wait a little while.
01:08:29You saw, man.
01:08:29It didn't happen.
01:08:30No.
01:08:34Just, just you and me.
01:08:38I, I know I'll, I'll take the pictures this time.
01:08:42If you have a camera, you won't be able to shoot him.
01:08:45I, I know how to handle him.
01:08:47He has to stay.
01:08:47Get your hands off the camera.
01:08:50Get him to stay.
01:08:51If you're taking pictures, you can't pull out a gun.
01:08:54I'll take your picture with John Lennon.
01:08:56I bet you never had that before, huh?
01:08:59No, I didn't.
01:09:00Hey, good night.
01:09:01It'll be back before midnight.
01:09:07I know it.
01:09:08I know it.
01:09:08I know he will.
01:09:15Hey, what if you never see him again?
01:09:19What if he goes to Spain or something?
01:09:25What if something happens to him?
01:09:45I can see it.
01:09:47You're sitting on the sofa and knowing what almost happened.
01:09:52Knowing that you could have done it.
01:09:55Now you do it.
01:09:58You, do it.
01:10:00You, liar.
01:10:05What if he's mine?
01:10:12You gotta get the album and sign this call.
01:10:15Get in the next taxi.
01:10:16Just go, go, go, go, go, go.
01:10:19Don't do it.
01:10:20You, liar.
01:10:21That's not what we're here for.
01:10:22That's not what we're here for.
01:10:23He signed the record and it was nice.
01:10:25Put the date on everything. He was kind.
01:10:28But I want to kill him. He's mine.
01:10:31I want him.
01:10:32Help me, devil.
01:10:34Leah.
01:10:35Give me the power.
01:10:37No more.
01:10:39That's what I have to do.
01:10:40I have to. I have to. I have to.
01:10:42I want to.
01:10:44No!
01:10:44God, no. God, no.
01:10:47No, no, no, no, no, no.
01:10:50Nobody! Nothing!
01:10:52He wasn't phony.
01:10:56He's getting a taxi.
01:10:58You coward, you phony!
01:11:00Go home.
01:11:01You got your autograph.
01:11:02Go home. Frame it. Put it on the wall.
01:11:04Put it on the wall!
01:11:07Don't listen to them.
01:11:09Don't listen to them.
01:11:11There's no place like home.
01:11:13Go home. Go home.
01:11:15Go home.
01:11:25Get ready for the ride.
01:11:28Get ready for the ride.
01:11:44The phony must die,
01:11:47He says to catch her in the ride.
01:12:07I will do it.
01:12:10If you give me the opportunity...
01:12:14I will do it.
01:12:24I will do it.
01:12:50I will do it.
01:12:51I have to take it.
01:12:52I will do it.
01:12:57I will do it.
01:13:41Thanks, George.
01:13:43Good night.
01:14:02Mr. Lennon?
01:14:52That's all I want to tell you about.
01:14:54We have arrested Mark David Chapman for the homicide of John Lennon.
01:15:02Today, multitudes borne the shocking and untimely death of a legend.
01:15:07The tragic slaying of John Lennon spawned an unimaginable sense of grief among those of every age.
01:15:16Mark David Chapman, the alleged killer of John Lennon, has been taken to Bellevue Hospital where he will remain under
01:15:23close watch as he is known to have attempted suicide before.
01:15:27I could tell you about how they took me down to the police station and paraded me in front of
01:15:34the media and all.
01:15:38Well, they put me in this goddamn place now.
01:15:44And he's got really crazy for a while, but I'm not interested in any of his stuff anymore.
01:15:53It's not important.
01:15:57I think John Lennon, personally for me, stood for as a symbol of love and peace on the planet.
01:16:03I think of John Lennon as an artist, and he belongs to my generation.
01:16:10And I don't understand why he was killed.
01:16:13They keep asking me if I really think I am the catcher in the rye.
01:16:23It's such a stupid question.
01:16:26It's dumb, I swear to God, it is.
01:16:33I know no matter what anybody says, I have the strength and knowing.
01:16:40The paragraphs and sentences of that book were flowing through my brain and entering my blood.
01:16:48Influencing my thoughts, my actions.
01:16:52My very soul is breathing between the pages of the catcher and the rye.
01:17:00I was there for three days.
01:17:04And it was a Monday.
01:17:07Pretty near Christmas.
01:17:16In New York City.
01:17:21And now I'm here.
01:17:28Sitting right here.
01:17:31Talking to you.
01:18:18Oh, there you know.
01:18:21Coming apart at the same
01:18:32Wherever you go
01:18:36I follow you home in my dreams
01:18:46I'm breaking the silence
01:18:51It seems like the city is breathing
01:18:58Diamonds are falling
01:19:01Rose-colored glasses
01:19:05The moon and the river is seething
01:19:13Halliday calling
01:19:15Where you think you're gonna go
01:19:19Don't you ever stop and wonder
01:19:22That you never know
01:19:23Even the highway is haunted
01:19:28In the blink of an hour
01:19:31You get what you wanted
01:19:35You won't be holding me
01:19:38Everything is falling
01:19:40You won't be
01:19:42Everything is falling
01:19:44Everything is falling in a place again
01:19:55Breaking its silence
01:19:59It seems like the city is breathing
01:20:33When diamonds are falling
01:20:51You won't be holding
01:20:51You would be in a pinch
01:20:51In the east
01:20:56I don't want to
01:20:56You won't be holding
01:20:59This morning
01:20:59There were a few
01:20:59You do some
01:20:59There were a few
01:21:02You go
