00:14
The day started at 6.30 with me on the roof of our house looking out at the Dallas skyline. And at 6.30 it was drizzling and kind of rainy. The skyline was lit up against kind of a black background.
00:31
Den 22 november 1963 börjar som en grå och regnig dag i Dallas.
00:37
I said I needed to go downtown and she said okay. I'll be happy to take you. Yeah, she didn't resist too much. I think she wanted to see him also.
01:00
TV-bolaget ABC filmar när Kennedy landar i Dallas och kliver ut från Air Force One.
01:06
There's Mrs. Kennedy and the crowd yells and the president of the United States. And I can see his suntan all the way from here.
01:15
John Kennedy är solbränd och klädd i en blå-grå, dubbelknäppt kostym. Hans fru Jackie är också med på resan.
01:23
Hon bär en rosa Chanel-inspirerad dräkt med en matchande liten hatt- President-paret har blivit ett fenomen, nästan som filmstjärnor.
01:34
Under resan till Texas hålls en presskonferens där presidenten skämtar om att folk kommit för att se hans fru, snarare än honom själv.
01:42
Two years ago I said that I introduced myself in Paris by saying that I was the man who had accompanied Mrs. Kennedy to Paris. I'm getting that same sensation as I travel around Texas.
01:56
For 11-year-old Tony is the visit to his home in Dallas, especially important.
02:01
I saw pictures of him with kids and I thought he understands children.
02:08
Emma feels Tony often afraid. She describes his father as a record of his father. He can have a vrede and Tony says that he has done things like that to kill families.
02:19
So Tony is looking for peace. She thinks it's something that President Kennedy can give her.
02:26
If I could know Kennedy, nobody would hurt a kid Kennedy. Nobody would make me cry if Kennedy told them not to do it.
02:37
So in my magical thinking, I decided that if I could get Kennedy to look at me or wave at me, that would mean he knew me.
02:48
And all the problems at my house would be much, much better.
02:52
Shaking hands now with the Dallas people, governor and Mrs. Conley.
02:56
Men det Tony inte vet är att den här dagen kommer att förändra USAs historia.
03:08
Du lyssnar på P3-dokumentär om mordet på president John F. Kennedy.
03:14
Jag heter Axel Winqvist.
03:19
Clear blue sky and a warm sun.
03:23
Det som börjat som en gråmulen morgon blir en ovanligt mild novemberdag i Dallas. Solen skiner och 11-åriga Tony Glover och hennes mamma letar efter en bra plats bland de omkring 200 000 årskådarna.
03:38
I went around all of Dealey Plaza and then my mother actually pointed to the cement pedestal and said, you know, I bet you can see everything from up there. And I climbed up and it was just amazing.
03:54
We were all excited and we had on coats and you had to decide do I throw the coat on the ground
04:20
That seems stupid. Do I put it over my arm? Then I can't clap and wave. So most of us just put it back on.
04:28
We laughed back and forth. It was a party. It was a presidential parade. It was celebration.
04:43
Och till slut kommer den. Presidentens midnatsblå nedkabbade limousin. En specialbyggd Lincoln Continental med upphöjt baksätter för att presidenten ska synas.
04:56
Tony viftar med armarna. Presidenten är bara några meter från henne.
05:07
She hopes that he will see her and on a magic way to help her from the otrygghet she feels in his home.
05:14
It was close enough that I could see that Jackys eyes were brown. Beautiful brown eyes. And one second after that, there was this first bang.
05:26
What was that? What was that?
05:29
What was that?
05:30
What was that?
05:39
Caos. Utbryte på Geely Plaza. CBS sänder extrainsatta nyheter.
05:42
Presidenten är skjuten.
06:09
But to understand the shot in Dallas and why John F. Kennedy has to go back the band.
06:26
It's war. American lives lost. American property destroyed. A wave of patriotic emotions sweeps across the nation.
06:36
Under andra världskriget bestämmer sig två amerikanska bröder för att ta värvning.
06:41
Den äldre brodern är en stark och sportig kille som heter Joseph, men som kallas för Joe.
06:47
Den yngre brodern är en smal kille med rödbrun kaluffs som heter John.
06:52
Det är han som ändå ska bli USAs president.
06:56
Men vid den här tiden, i början av 40-talet, är det storebror Joe som står i centrum.
07:03
The next son is Joseph Joseph Jr. and he is two years old than John F. Kennedy.
07:09
Journalist Britt-Marie Mattson has survived the US policy in 50 years and has written a book about the family Kennedy.
07:16
He is in school, he is atletistic and has everything that Papa Joe wishes to be of a son. Family satsar on him, while the sjukling John F. Kennedy has been able to survive.
07:30
Han har problem med sin mage, han har förmodligen någon form av mag-tarmsjukdom. Han kunde ha långa perioder, han hade hög feber och han hade problem med ryggen. Och redan på den tiden, även om han behövde mycket soldater och stridsdugliga personer, så var det ju så att man genomgick en massa tester för att se om man är ute och var duglig.
07:49
Bröder Joe and John come from the rich and powerful Kennedy family. They grew up in a Catholic home in Boston with nine sons, five children and four children.
08:01
And to win a war is a must for his son, even if he doesn't have his own hands with him. For his father's father is in the way of his family.
08:12
If he had his own wishes, he wouldn't have been with his son. But at the time it's a patriot, it's very difficult. It's a war and it's very difficult to say that my son here should not be with him.
08:27
Pappa Joe Kennedy Sr. är en framgångsrik affärsman- som blivit en av USAs rikaste män med flera miljoner dollar på banken.
08:37
Hans fru Rose är dotter till Bostons fördetta borgmästare.
08:42
Och Joe Sr. har en tydlig plan för hans barn ska bli lika framgångsrika-
08:48
He wanted to be good, to be successful, to be successful, to be successful over all the other. He had himself done a great career when he started investing in the film industry in Hollywood. There was a lot of money. Then he invested in Wall Street. So he saw that the children wouldn't be lost. All of the family Kennery could. That he was proud of.
09:12
Trots att familjen Kennedy har både makt och pengar sticker de ut i societeten. Som katoliker med rötter på Irland anses de inte lika fina som anglosaxiska protestanter. Och det har väckt en revanschlust.
09:27
It's two maktsfäder, money and political power. That's the two things. And there's a father, Joe. He has chosen the economic power. He had had the political ambition one time, but he had never had the political goals he wanted to. And he wanted to have the political power. He had said that it's good to have the economic power, but it's best to have the political power. And can you combine it in a family, so it's not dumb.
09:59
Men under andra världskriget händer det saker som kommer att ändra spelplanen.
10:05
Lillebror John klarar inte av sin mönstring på grund av sin klena hälsa. Men pappa Joe lyckas med hjälp av kontakter fixa in honom i flottan. Och 1943, mitt under kriget, blir den snart 26-årige John befäl över en torpedbåt i stilla havet.
10:24
Han har då befäl över en båt som heter PT-109. Det är en patrollbåt.
10:29
Denna är de ute med ofta på nätter och sånt där. De pejlar ju av alla stämningar. De försöker naturvis ge sig på eventuella japanska attacker. Då kommer en japansk större båt och klyver den här PT-109.
10:42
John berättar med egna ord om upplevelsen för CBS.
10:45
Två personer dör och en man blir svårt brännskadad. Men John Kennedy lyckas simma med sin besättning till en ö där de skeppsbrutna for lever på kokosnötter.
11:05
They are also disappeared in six days. And John F. Kennedy becomes a helper because he helps a couple, especially one person, to come to land.
11:17
Now he is John F. Kennedy a soldier.
11:21
But John's storebror will not have the same time during the war.
11:27
Joe Jr., who has always been more capable and more capable, was stationed in England.
11:35
But Joe Jr. will fly to Frankrike, which occupies of Nazis.
11:38
Planet is full of spręgmedel. Joe Jr. blir inte äldre än 29- Resten av familjen Kennedy befinner sig i sitt sommarhus på Cape Cod i Massachusetts som ligger precis in till en vacker sandstrand på Atlantkusten.
12:11
Syskonen lyssnar på en gramofonskiva och mamma Rose sitter i en gungstol när en svart bil med två präster kör in på uppfarten.
12:20
This is an enormous catastrophe for the family. The eldest son, where there is so much ambition for him, what he should do then, and have been so good and done everything that he has planned out of him, so he goes over the English channel. It's a totally meaningless project.
12:38
Family Kendrick is on a lot of ways a family.
12:42
John has a 1-year-old sister called Rosemary, and who, as a child, sticks out to the syskonskagan
12:49
Man märker ganska snabbt att hon kanske inte klarar sig lika bra i skolan. Hon har lite svårt med sociala kontakter med kamrater och så.
12:57
Rosemary har läs- och skrivsvårigheter och lär sig saker långsamt. Hon har en intellektuell funktionsnedsättning.
13:05
Men hon lever också som en vanlig ung tjej. Och i tonåren blir hon en rebell som smiter ut för att festa.
13:13
It doesn't pass for a Kennedy. So when Rose Marie, 23, takes his father's decision.
13:21
Papa Joe has all the contacts that are available.
13:25
So he decides to use the new type of research that has come. So he can lobotomize. And he comes in in a situation where he stands for a couple of years of development as a child.
13:41
Under många år är Rosemary's lobotomi en hemlighet. Men hennes öde och brodern Joes död kommer följas av fler tragiska händelser.
13:59
Flera Kennedys kommer dö i flygkrascher, sjukdomar och mord. Så många att det kommer börja talas om en förbannelse.
14:08
Det finns en slags idé om att det är otur i släkten. Eller otur i olycka snarare. För att det är så många som har dött i familjen och råkat illa ut. Och det är klart att ju fler man är, desto fler kan råka illa ut. De har väl levt ett utagerande liv på många sätt. Utsatser för faror kanske också.
14:31
After that John's storbror died, he riktar his son all his strength to his next son. Now it's John who's going to go into politics and fully follow the plan to take the family Kennedy all the way to the Vita House.
14:45
So he says in the same time, that it's not who you are, maybe. It's what people believe that you are. And it's there that it's important when it comes to create a way. It's also a way to find yourself as a person.
14:58
John får hjälp av sin pappa att finansiera sin första kampanj för att bli kongressledamot i representanthuset i Washington.
15:06
Our guest of the afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, will be congressman John F. Kennedy of Boston.
15:11
Jong gör sig bra i tv.
15:13
Att han så ofta är sjuk och sängliggande har gjort honom till en riktig bokmal. Det har gett honom ett stort ordförråd och dessutom är han snygg. I ett klipp från NBC frågas han ut om sin politik. Jons hår är ögonfallande tjockt och han sitter bekvämt framåtlutad i studion.
15:32
I'm certainly worried about the revelation of corruption in the executive department. I think that the stories of communism within the executive branch of the government have more or less died out and I think it's been done on the whole.
15:43
John klättrar högre och högre i sin politiska karriär.
15:48
John Kennedy of Massachusetts is a great democrat.
16:18
John sticker ut i Washington.
16:21
Vid den här tiden är han single och beskrivs som en sorts playboy. Han gillar snabba bilar, fester och kvinnor. 1953 reser han till franska Rivieran för lite semester från sina politiska uppdrag.
16:35
Och här befinner sig även svenska Gunilla von Post.
16:39
I Lota Malmstedts documentary, Gunilla and JFK. En omöjlig love story. Berättar Gunilla själv om mötet.
17:07
She is a 21-year-old blonde aristocrat who met Kennedy together with friends in Antibes' labyrinth of Gränder and Torrey.
17:16
He had a huge charm and an enormous intelligence. He had a huge strål, what they call it. He was very young and he was very young to talk with, humorist and very cool.
17:29
Gunilla tycker om att umgås med den amerikanska senatorn. Men på dansgolvet märker hon att han är plågad.
17:37
John har oftast ont att han inte ens kan knyta sina skor. Och vissa dagar måste han gå på kryckor. Men det är inte bara ryggen som plågar honom.
17:59
Något tidigare har han fått en förklaring- till varför han också lider av återkommande feber och magproblem.
18:06
John har den obotliga sjukdomen Addisons- som stör ut viktig hormonproduktion i kroppen.
18:13
För att inte visa sig svag- och för att kunna göra politisk karriär- försöker han hålla sin hälsoproblematik hemlig.
18:20
Han led ju fruktansvärt. Och det är vad människor inte har förstått- vilken hjälte han var.
18:27
Gunilla von Post beskriver mötet med John som kärlek vid första ögonkastet. Den där första kvällen de träffas i Antib så smiter de iväg för att sätta sig på en klippa nära strandkanten.
18:41
Men det finns ett problem.
18:52
I have news to tell you. I'm going home to marry. I mean, he's not really smart. But I understood quite soon after that it was his father who had the whole of their lives... ...and that he was going to be with this beautiful Jackie Bouvier.
19:13
John is married with Jackie.
19:15
Några weeks after the summer with Gunilla is a gift man...
19:20
In an interview with CBS sits the new part in a beautiful home.
19:25
Bred of them is a big vase with flowers. John has on his costume and Jackie is the new one.
19:32
Let's go and meet the newlyweds.
19:34
Are you there, Senator? Yes, right here Mr. Morrow. Good evening, sir. Thank you. Good evening, Mrs. Kennedy.
19:39
Good evening.
19:40
How did the two of you meet?
19:42
We met at the house of a friend about two years ago.
19:46
Jackie is, just as John, a catolic and grew up in a fine family. She's a perfect husband for a Kennedy and for a man who wants to do a political career. But the story with Gunilla doesn't end.
20:09
When John Kennedy is in Europe a year later, he comes to the Svenska Båstad and calls him.
20:16
The suns, bears and eats dinner at Strand Hotel.
20:20
We walked around and traveled around, we were on golf club, we were here and there, we talked and we loved it and we had a wonderful song.
20:28
Flera personer har vittnat om Kennedys affairer med kvinnor. Men ett äktenskap är ett måste om man vill nå toppen. Det var...
20:56
It was a wonderful song of love.
21:00
It was a beautiful thing between us. But it couldn't lead to anything because my father had already decided to become president of the United States.
21:12
And that's why I gave not everything I could have done if it had been a normal situation. I can say that I did not. I tried to let it be.
21:27
The presidency is the most powerful office in the free world.
21:55
Through its leadership can come a more vital life for all of our people.
22:02
10 år tidigare hade bara 11% av den amerikanska befolkningen en TV. 1960 är siffran uppe i 88%.
22:11
Och det ska bli en framgångsfaktor för Kennedy.
22:15
The Republican candidate, Vice President Richard M. Nixon and the Democratic candidate, Senator John F. Kennedy.
22:21
Under den första tv-sändade debatten mot republikanernas kandidat Richard Nixon ser Kennedy solbränd och avslappnad ut.
22:29
Även när han pratar om att världen står inför ett vägval mellan frihet och kommunistländernas förtryck.
22:35
The question is whether the world will exist. Half slave or half free.
22:40
Whether it will move in the direction of freedom.
22:43
In the direction of the road that we are taking.
22:46
Or whether it will move in the direction of slavery.
22:49
Nixon, who is out of the TV-smink, is so angry that he has smashed up with TV-studions-dekor.
22:55
I think we disagree on the implication of his remarks tonight, and on the statements that he has made on many occasions during his campaign.
23:04
But a lot of voters are worried about what a katolic president would mean for the USA. Will it mean that Kennedy took direct order from Poven?
23:15
Gång på gång måste Kennedy upprepa sin hållning om att religion och politik är två vitt skilda saker.
23:23
I believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute.
23:29
Valet mellan Nixon och Kennedy blir jämt.
23:32
Men Kennedy vinner med 49,7% av rösterna. PBS rapporterar.
23:39
The unexpectedly delayed climax saw Senator Kennedy the victor with a clear margin of electoral votes. At 43 years of age, he is the youngest man ever voted into the White House and the first Catholic chief executive in the history of the nation.
23:51
I can assure you that every degree of mind and spirit that I possess will be devoted to the long-range interests of the United States and to the cause of freedom around the world. So now my wife and I prepare for a new administration and for a new baby. Thank you.
24:14
Jon har uppnått Papa Joes mål och blir USAs president. I förlängningen kommer det leda till skotten i Dallas den där novemberdagen på D.L. Plaza.
24:25
Men Jon har fortfarande mycket kvar att uträtta. Efter segern svär han presidentleden och ger sig ut på den politiska världscenen.
24:34
Today, in the world of freedom, the proudest post is, I'm being a leader.
24:46
John Kennedy becomes president, while the war between the East and the West is in Kulmen. In Tyskland is Berlin-Murren, and Järnridån sänker sig over the communist countries. Hemma in the USA is the war of the American rights rights.
25:03
Han var ju en begåvad person och välutbildad dessutom. Så det finns mycket av ett modernt tänkande faktiskt i hans presidentskap. Han insåg att svartas rättigheter måste beaktas. Så han driver den här frågan om svartas rättigheter under sin presidenttid. Men han hinner ju inte så långt.
25:24
Kennedy is a visionary who will lead humanity in the future and out in the world. He holds a talk with Houston and says that the USA will land on the moon in 10 years.
25:36
I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal before this decade is out of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth.
25:48
But Kennedy is also working on a problem in form of a revolutionary on Cuba. Fidel Castro is on to build up a communist and sovjet-based state.
25:59
It is a part of the Americans, not least for the nation in Cuba, is near the USA.
26:05
Already before Kennedy becomes president has the CIA therefore taken up a plan for the support of Castro.
26:11
I hemlighet har ungefär 1500 exilkubaner blivit tränare av den amerikanska underrättelsetjänsten för att invadera sitt forna hemland.
26:21
Och Kennedy väljer att ge tummen upp till operationen.
26:29
Men Castro slår tillbaka och invasionen blir ett stort misslyckande för Kennedy.
26:34
Och ett år senare, hösten 1962, händer det något på Kuba som får världen att hålla andan.
26:41
Ryssarna börjar då montera upp olika avskjutningsramper på Kuba. Där man har kapacitet med kärnvapen riktade mot USA. 90 skemil från Florida. Så det här blev då en stor missilkris och världen står bokstavligen stilla. Hur ska det gå? Blir det nu en kärnvapensamma drabbning mellan de här två supermarkterna?
27:04
Good evening my fellow citizens.
27:10
We have no wish to war with the Soviet Union.
27:13
For we are a peaceful people who desire to live in peace with all other peoples.
27:18
But it is difficult to settle or even discuss these problems in an atmosphere of intimidation.
27:26
It was at least with that the russians would take back and it would be described as a segue for Kennedy, that he managed to do this.
27:35
It is something with Kennedys person that makes him a lot of people.
27:42
Särskilt women to him, and he to them.
27:45
Mr. President...
28:14
Marilyn Monroe.
28:16
Happy birthday, Mr. President.
28:22
Happy birthday to you.
28:27
I can now retire from politics after having had a happy birthday sung to me in such a sweet...
28:36
But ultimately, the relationship with Jackie Kennedy is still calling her the most sophisticated woman in the world, and she is in the world for her good taste, both when it comes to clothes and clothes.
28:49
Now, if you forgive me, this room looks a little bit like an antique dealers dream. Have you made any good finds lately?
28:55
Well, we have.
28:58
This little chest was left by President Van Buren to his grandson.
29:02
CBS filmar när Jackie visar hur hon gjort om i Vita huset.
29:07
And in the state dining room is perhaps the most famous of all. I think the colors are marvelous.
29:15
President-paret is relatively young and modern. They symbolize something completely new in a world that is changing.
29:23
Man created a stolthet about Vita Huset. And she created it about herself. What she had on herself, how she came up, and where she was also the young family. And it created a fascination and above all a political interest.
29:39
John F. Kennedy, man kände att han drev de frågor som han själv som liten var intresserad av. Alltså en ny värld, FN, händesaker, någonting nytt. Det var inte det som de här gamla mörkna. Det här fanns en ung generation som ville någonting.
29:59
John och Jackie har två barn, Caroline och John Jr., Sonen John tillbringar sina första levnadsår i Vita huset och kommer som vuxen berätta för ABC hur han brukade sitta under sin pappas skrivbord i ovala rummet.
30:14
He had this desk in the Oval Office which was made, which belonged to a sea captain. And I just remember the inside you could climb around in and there were kind of cavernous spaces in it.
30:25
Do you remember crawling inside?
30:26
Yeah, just hanging out there. And he used to give us chewing gum because my mother didn't like us to chew gum. So we used to go over the Oval Office at night and he'd feed us gum under the desk.
30:37
Under tiden i Vita Huset blir Jackie gravid igen.
30:42
Men lyckan blir kortvagig.
30:44
Sonen Patrick föds för tidigt och dör två dagar gammal. Kennedys presssekreterare förmedlar nyheten till Associated Press.
30:55
The struggle of the baby boy to keep breathing was too much for his heart.
31:06
Förlusten slår hårt och Jackie drar sig undan offentligheten för en tid.
31:11
But in the middle of 1963, it started to plan a trip to Texas that the president will do together. And at one of the planned stop in Dallas, the man will be going to have a meaning for this story. It will be the next 24-year-old Harvey Oswald.
31:33
Well, he was a nice looking young man, was always clean shaven, hair short.
31:40
He probably didn't stand higher than maybe five, eight, but he was thin.
31:49
Patricia Hall lär känna Lee Harvey Oswald när hon är 11 år. Hösten 1963 arbetar Lee på ett företag som producerar skolböcker. Han är nyseparerad från sin fru och hyr därför ett rum på North Beakley Avenue i Dallas.
32:06
Gladys Johnson.
32:08
She was the homeowner and Mr. Lees landlady.
32:14
And she was my grandmother.
32:19
Patricia Halls mormor äger huset och Patricia och hennes bröder tillbringar mycket tid i den prydliga tegelvillan med en typisk amerikansk veranda på framsidan.
32:30
It's a very deceiving house. It looks like it might have three or four bedrooms but in actuality she rented out 18 different bedrooms.
32:43
And so every day, my brothers and I, I had two brothers that were younger than myself, would go to her home. It was your typical get the homework done and wait for mother to pick us up and take us to our family home.
33:02
Larry Oswald sticker inte ut som hyresgäst. Han är reserverad och håller sig mest för sig själv. Däremot så ägnar han en del tid åt Patricia och hennes bröder–
33:12
He really is the only rumor that ever tried to help me with my homework.
33:20
Two dyslexics working on the same project just doesn't work. And luckily for me...
33:36
He was very sensitive to my feelings, and he realized that it was upsetting me more for him to try to help than not help. So he backed off on that.
33:52
But he would always come over to me and in a soft voice say don't worry about it. And so he became very important to me during the six weeks that he lived at my grandmother's house.
34:10
En annan gång så avvärjeli ett bråk mellan Patricias småbröder.
34:16
Hal and Mike were in the front yard wrestling.
34:20
Mr. Lee gotten out there, separated them and is making them sit down on the front stairs of the porch. He sits in between them and he looks at them and he says, boys, I want to tell you something and I want you to listen to me because it's very important.
34:44
You're brothers.
34:46
You've got to care for each other and you have to love each other and never do anything that would harm another human being.
34:57
That is not the voice of a killer.
35:03
Men så kommer den 22 november 1963. Dagen då president Kennedy ska besöka Dallas.
35:11
Den morgonen går Lee Harvey Oswald i sitt arbete på Texas School Book Depository som ligger i en stor tegelbyggnad på Elm Street. Precis där Kennedy ska åka förbi med sin limousin.
35:23
ABC rapporterar.
35:27
Crowd waving as you can see.
35:30
People standing up all over everything available to get a glimpse of the president and his wife. Cheering and yelling going on down the way as they approach the cars.
35:40
När presidentparet landar i Dallas återstår ett år till nästa val och resan till Texas är politiskt viktig.
35:47
So the trip was very straightforward. They were going to San Antonio, Houston, Fort Worth, Dallas and concluding the visit with a fundraising dinner in Austin.
35:58
Stephen Fagin är museikurator och expert på Kennedyfallet.
36:02
From the outset Dallas was the place they were most concerned about. Kennedy was not popular in Dallas. It was the most conservative city in the state. In fact Dallas supported Richard Nixon in the 1960 campaign by the largest margin of any major city in the United States.
36:23
But that the president is not so popular in Dallas is not.
36:27
There was an anticipation that there might be some sort of political demonstration along the parade route. But much to the surprise of everyone, the streets of Dallas from the airport through downtown were packed with people.
36:42
The press is standing up high getting a lot of shots of this. This is great for the people and...
36:48
It makes the eggshells even thinner for the secret service whose job it is to guard the man. But the audience loves this.
36:56
I had a 360 degree view. I could see them come in from Houston and then they turned on to Elm.
37:13
Tony som klättrat upp på en betongsockel streker upp armarna och vinkar. I limousinen sitter presidentparet tillsammans med Texas guvernör och hans fru.
37:24
De är bara några meter bort från Tony. Och så händer det.
37:28
Tony upplever att president Kennedy tittar rakt på henne och ler.
37:41
After he smiled and waved, it was like my body exploded. I mean, it was, I can't believe that happened.
37:48
Oh my God, my life is going to change.
37:51
Things are going to be better.
37:53
Meanwhile, in the presidential limousine, the first lady of Texas, Nellie Connolly, turns around to the president and says the last words he would hear. You can't say Dallas doesn't love you, Mr. President.
38:05
Limousinen, tätt följd av motorcyklar och poliser, kör vidare. Och för ett ögonblick så försvinner presidenten ur Tony Synfelt.
38:14
And then they went out of sight because they went behind a couple of cement column.
38:20
And I couldn't see them there. And it was while they were behind the column that the first sound happened.
38:27
And I still call it a sound, even though I'm sure it was a gunshot. Because when stuff like that happened... The human response is denial. No, that didn't happen. The human response is denial. No, that didn't happen.
38:41
When Tony hears ljudet tror hon first att det är ett däck som exploderat. Men så hörs ett nytt ljud.
38:48
Texas guvernör, som också sitter i limousinen, är jägare.
38:53
Han förstår direkt att det rör sig om ett skott från ett gevär. I samma stund känner han en hård smäll i ryggen.
39:00
One shot missed, one shot struck both president Kennedy and Texas governor John Connolly, what's been called the single bullet theory that it passed through the presidents neck, a non-fatal injury, and then continued going forwards into governor Connolly, ultimately shattering the radius bone in his wrist and lodging in his left thigh.
39:24
Kennedy får upp händerna mot halsen och sjunker ihop i sätet.
39:28
And during that time, one of the secret service agents recognizing distress in the limousine, knowing that gunfire was being heard, he ran towards the limousine.
39:39
Samtidigt for Tony, what a scene på bilan.
39:43
And then the limo came out from behind the thing that was blocking my view.
39:48
And as soon as it did, a couple of seconds later, his head just exploded.
39:54
I mean, it wasn't a headshot. It literally exploded.
40:00
Jackie skriker, de har skjutit min man och säger till John att hon älskar honom.
40:06
Panik utbyter på Dealey Plaza.
40:08
Människor skriker, springer och kaster sig mot marken. Men 11-åriga Tony står kvar, paralyserad.
40:17
At my distance I couldn't see red blood, it was just grey stuff that blasted out of his head. I wanted to deny that by saying, oh somebody threw fireworks in the car and the police are really mad.
40:33
Men så ser Tony hur Jackie Kenny häver sig upp från limousinens baksäte och börjar kravla över bakpartiet på utsidan av bilen.
40:42
One thing that told you something horrible had happened is that she jumped out of the back seat onto the trunk of the limo in a skirt.
40:53
If the most sophisticated woman in the world was going to jump out of the back seat in a skirt, something really bad had happened.
41:03
Vittnen undrar om Jackie försöker fly, eller kalla på Secret Service.
41:07
The sad reality of Mrs. Kennedy climbing onto the back of the limousine is that in the horrifying instant that the shot hit her husband, she saw a piece of skull go onto the trunk of the limousine. And so without really any awareness of her actions, clearly in shock, she reached out to grab this piece of her husband's skull. She was not trying to exit the vehicle, nor was she really even aware that Secret Service agent was running towards the car.
41:40
Secret Service-agenten som rusat mot limousinen kastar sig över Jackie.
41:45
Han skyddar både henne och presidenten med sin egen kropp. Men han innegär att tummen ner till de andra livvakterna. Presidenten är skjuten.
41:54
Bilen kör i 140 km i timmen mot Parkland Hospital som ligger bara några minuter från Dealey Plaza.
42:08
There are the victims of Fattig in Bård and the president of the acute diagnosis.
42:14
At the hospital, President Kennedy was taken into trauma room number one. Governor Connolly was taken across the hall. He eventually underwent surgery and made a recovery. But the president was in this very small trauma room surrounded by physicians at the hospital. All sorts of people, neurologists, even a urologist, made their way to the trauma room to surround the president and do their very best to keep the president alive.
42:43
Jackie Kennedy, som fortfarande har en bit av presidentens skall i sin hand, står bredvid och tittar på, medan läkarna gör sitt bästa för att hålla hennes man vid liv.
42:53
De gör hjärtmassage och kopplar in en respirator. Sjukvårdspersonalen vill hålla Jackie borta från operationssalen, men hon vägrar lämna rummet.
43:03
When Mrs. Kennedy entered the hospital, that piece of skull that she had kind of been cradling, she gave it to one of the physicians there. And by most accounts, she was simply in shock. She refused to leave the room. Eventually, they got a folding chair so that she could sit basically in the doorway of the room while the president was being treated in that very small trauma room. Her clothes, her famous pink suit, was covered in her husband's blood.
43:33
Presidentens ögon är fortfarande öppna. Men Jackie Kennedy, som sett vilken stor skada skottet gjort, är övertygad om att hennes man är bortom räddning.
43:43
Och det drejer inte länge förrän läkarna inser att presidenten är död.
43:48
It became apparent almost immediately that the president was just going through...
43:53
the processes of end of life. I mean, he was essentially just bleeding out. So despite their best efforts, the president was pronounced dead at one o'clock, which is 30 minutes after the shots were fired in Dealey Plaza.
44:08
At that point, Mrs. Kennedy took off her wedding ring, put it on the president, and that was it.
44:25
Tony Glover, som bevittnat skotten på Dealey Plaza, sätter sig i bilen och åker hemåt tillsammans med sin mamma.
44:33
We stayed in the car in the driveway. We didn't get up and get out. And I started sobbing in the car. But the thing was, until someone said it on the TV, it wasn't real.
44:47
So we didn't want to go in the house and hear on the TV that he was dead.
44:53
Men till slut så går Tony in i huset. Och på tvn ser hon hur CBS Nyhetshankare förmedlar den chockartade nyheten.
45:03
From Dallas, Texas, the flash, apparently official, President Kennedy died at 1pm Central Standard Time.
45:13
Some 38 minutes ago.
45:20
When Tony takes in the news about the president is dead, the act on the murder has already begun.
45:27
Some of the witnesses have seen a short man in a short short look out from the Texas School Book Depositories 6. with a givet. It is the company that Harvey Oswald works. The same 24-year-old man who used to help his wife's children with a lexor.
45:47
Polisen skyndar till byggnaden, men Lee hinner smita ut.
45:52
So Lee Harvey Oswald left the schoolbook depository very shortly after the assassination and Dallas police and Dallas county sheriff's deputies they sealed off the Texas schoolbook depository began gathering evidence on the sixth floor.
46:06
Polisen hittar ett gevär bakom några kartoner och inser att den enda medarbetaren som saknas på schoolbooksföretaget är Lee Harvey Oswald. Det polisen inte vet är att han tagit sig hem till sitt rum på North Beakley Avenue.
46:21
Once he arrived there he got a pistol and a jacket and sat out on foot within just a couple of minutes.
46:28
Efter att ha hämtat pistolen begär sig Lee återigen ut på stan. Och samtidigt har polisen sänt ut ett signalement på honom.
46:36
Attention all squad, the suspect from Ailman Houston is reported to be an unknown white male about 30. Slender build, 5 feet 10 inches tall, 165 pounds. Armed with what it's supposed to be a 30-30 rifle.
46:50
I stadsdelen Oakleaf patrullerar den 39-åriga polismannen G.D. Tippett med sin polisbil.
46:55
Polismannen G.D. Tippett kör upp bredvid Lee Harvey Oswald- Oswald leaned down. They had some conversation through the passenger window of the vehicle, at which point Officer Tippett got out of the vehicle and began walking around the front.
47:30
And when he got about even with the hood of the vehicle, or even, you know, with the center of the vehicle, Oswald opened fire, shooting Tippett four times, all four shots striking J.D. Tippett, killing him.
47:44
Lee Harvey Oswald flyer från platsen. Han misstänks nu ha två människors liv på sitt samvete. En polis och USAs president.
47:53
Lee rör sig mot Jefferson Boulevard, ett livligt stråk med flera affärer.
47:59
I en av butikerna, en skoaffär, arbetar en 22-årig man vid namn Johnny Brewer.
48:06
Johnny berättar om det han ser för ABC- How far in did he walk out there, John? Just a few feet. He was standing right where those tennis shoes are right there. Just about five feet from the door there.
48:21
Skoförsäljaren tycker att Li Harvey Oswald ser ut som mannen från polisens efterlysning. En kort, smal kille med mörkt hår.
48:30
Dessutom beter han sig misstänkt när polisirener börjar ljuda över gatan.
48:35
Johnny följer killen med blicken och ser hur han smiter in på en biograf utan att köpa biljett.
48:42
Then I walked up to the theater and asked the cashier if she had sold a ticket to this man wearing the brown sports shirt, you know, his description. She called the police and I went back down by the stage, the back exit and waited there until the police came.
49:01
Ett meddelande går ut till polisbilarna som befinner sig i närheten. Did you get a suspect?
49:06
I believe we have him in the record theater now.
49:10
Ten point.
49:12
One of the 15 police officers who come to the biographer is the 35-year-old Nick McDonald.
49:18
He tells us how he can see how he can see the Harvey Oswald in the salon.
49:22
As I walked up to the aisle, Oswald was sitting in the second seat from the right center aisle. I said, get on your feet. And he stood up immediately.
49:31
My hand grabbed the pistol in this manner. And he hit me with that left hand to the nose. And when he did, I came back and hit him like this.
49:40
When Ali took his pistol, police officer McDonnell grabbed the gun and after a few seconds of the war, misstated the gun.
49:49
Did he say anything when you told him? As he brought his hands up, he brought the other one up to high level.
49:55
He said, well, it's all over now.
50:04
Samtidigt som jakten på Lee Harvey Oswald pågått har det uppstått ett bråk inne på Parkland Hospital vid den avlidne presidentens sjukhusbädd.
50:14
På ena sidan står vice president Lyndon B. Johnson, hans rådgivare och Secret Service.
50:20
De vill lämna Dallas omedelbart och ta med sig presidentens kvarlevor.
50:26
Men den lokala polisen och sjukhusets rättsläkare vill att kroppen stannar i Dallas.
50:32
The body was prepared for transport. By Texas state law, the president should have received his autopsy here in Dallas. But vice president Lyndon Johnson not really sure at that point what was happening, who was responsible. He needed to get back to Washington as soon as possible.
50:50
Secret Service is worried that it can be a bigger complot against the whole government. And they want to leave the president of Lyndon B. Johnson to leave Dallas. But Johnson is trying to think about Jackie, who has had to lose his man.
51:05
Lyndon Johnson also recognized the political significance of this event, how terrible it would look to leave the grieving widow and the president's body in his home state of Texas. There was a little bit of a disagreement over that with Texas state officials, but ultimately the Secret Service did take the body back to Air Force One with Mrs. Kennedy riding in the ambulance.
51:28
When Jackie, anländer till flygplatsen, står USA utan president. Inne på Air Force One väntar vice president Johnson redo att avlägga presidentleden.
51:39
And she walked up those steps, those sky stairs into Air Force One. The same sky stairs that she and the president had descended less than three hours earlier. And then still in her bloodstained clothing she stood next to Lyndon Johnson as he took the oath of office aboard that aircraft and became the...
51:57
36th president of the United States.
52:02
Oh God bless us. Wasn't that awesome?
52:26
He's a human being.
52:27
If they didn't like him, why don't they leave him alone?
52:35
As the evidence accumulates and the public becomes aware of the increasing police suspicion, Lee Oswald is shuttled back and forth through the corridors of police headquarters to face witness after witness.
52:48
Allt medierna kan hitta om Lee Harvey Oswalds bakgrund blir till nyheter.
52:53
Han är bara 24 år när han grips, men det finns en del att rapportera om. Patricia Hall, som lärde känna Lee när hon var barn, berättar.
53:02
He was shy, insecure, had no father figure, a mother that was detached, and desperate to be accepted for who he was.
53:17
Lee Harvey Oswalds pappa dog i en hjärtattack innan Lee föddes. Mamman hade svårt att ta hand om Lee och hans två bröder, som i perioder fick bo på barnhem.
53:27
Because she had emotional issues, she didn't make friends easily at all.
53:35
And so no one was willing to help her take care of a newborn and the other two boys.
53:44
Men när Lee Harvey Oswald grips för mordet på Kennedy är det framförallt en annan del av hans förflutna som väcker intresse.
53:54
I tonåren har Lee intresserat sig för socialistiska idéer. Han blir övertygad om att han är född på fel sida av Atlanten. Och 1959, precis innan han ska fylla 20, tar han sig till Moskva.
54:09
He decided to defect to the Soviet Union where he attempted to renounce his American citizenship.
54:17
The Soviets really didn't want Oswald to stay. They didn't really know what to do with them. The KGB did not feel he would be a good asset for them.
54:29
När Lee Harvey Oswalds ansökan om medborgarskap i Sovjetunionen avslås blir han upprörd.
54:36
He attempted to slit his wrist but it was not a very deep wound and obviously not a fatal injury he was found soon after he had done that and in the aftermath of that the Soviets did let him stay they set him up with a job in a factory in Minsk.
55:03
When Rizzerna changed, he was offered to work on a TV- and radio factory in Minsk, which was in this time. There he was a little one in a room. And in Minsk he also met his wife, the 19-year Marina, who works at a boutique.
55:21
Soon after he met and married after a whirlwind courtship, the niece of a Soviet colonel, Marina Prusikova. And...
55:31
Exakt vad Harvey Oswald gör i Sovjet kommer många spekulera i.
55:51
But he's still not long. It's the classless society in the Soviet Union, where the bureaucrats and the parties were trying to work. So 1962, after almost three years in the Soviet Union, he decided to move to his wife, with his wife Marina and their daughter.
56:12
Oswald went around from place to place, never really found his place in the world.
56:20
After a long time, Lee has a pistol and a bag that he plans to use for his political menings. For in Dallas, there is a high-extrem politician who has set up Lee.
56:34
In April of 1963, allegedly he actually used that rifle to take a shot at a local political leader, Major General Edwin Walker, who was on the far right-wing extremist element of Dallas. Oswald allegedly fired a shot at Walker that did not strike him, hit the window frame of his home. Walker was only slightly injured on the arm.
57:00
Lee kommer undan efter dådet mot den högerextrema generalen.
57:05
Han är besviken på både USA och Sovjets politiker och bär istället rikta blicken mot Cuba och Fidel Castro.
57:12
Tonight we have with us a representative of probably the most controversial organization connected with Cuba in this country. The organization, The Fair Play for Cuba Committee. The person, Lee Oswald. What are you advocating?
57:25
We advocate restoration of diplomatic trade and tourist relations with Cuba.
57:30
I augusti 1963 står Lee Harvey Oswald i ett gatörn och delar ut flygblad med propaganda för Cuba. TV-bolaget NBC kommer dit och filmar. Lee är välkammad i vit skjorta och svart slips när han svarar på reportens frågor.
57:46
You are a Marxist?
57:48
Well, I have studied marxist philosophy, yes sir, and also other philosopher. But are you a marxist? I think you did admit on an earlier radio interview that you consider yourself a marxist.
57:57
Oh, I would very definitely say that I am a marxist, that is correct. But that does not mean however that I am a communist.
58:05
När paret Oswald väntar sitt andra barn vill lia att babyn ska heta Fidel, efter Fidel Castro, om det blir en kille. Det motsätter sig Marina.
58:15
Their relationship has become more anxious. Lee is vicious and kills her.
58:21
Oswald became very disillusioned and he tried to keep Marina isolated. He didn't want her to learn English. Marina made connections in the local Russian community.
58:33
Most of those people loved Marina, but they really disliked Lee. They thought he was rude and standoffish. He wasn't a good conversationalist. So he was basically just kind of seen as this angry young man who always wanted to talk politics
58:51
Marina Oli Harvey Oswald separerar. Oli flyttar in hos Patricia Halls mormor i huset med veranda i Dallas.
58:59
Det är här han bor när han grips misstänkt för att ha mördat presidenten.
59:05
Helgen efter mordet sitter miljontals amerikaner klistrade framför TV-apparaterna. Men hemma hos 11-åriga Patricia är det tyst.
59:17
Patricias mamma är rädd att barnen ska ta skada av att Celie Harvey Oswald på tv. Mannen som de lät känna hemma hos sin mormor.
59:25
She goes into the house and then she unplugs the three televisions that we had and she tells us that they're broke.
59:35
All three broke on the same day.
59:38
Well, we looked at each other and went- Mama's got a little nuts. Let's go outside. So that's what we did.
59:49
Patricia leker utomhus hela lördagen. Hon vet inte att Lee Harvey Oswald- nu är misstänkt för mordet på president Kennedy- och att reportrar trängs utanför hans cell i häktet.
59:59
I don't know what this is all about. I killed a black eye. How did you get the black eye?
60:05
Lee Harvey Oswald hevdar att han är oskyldig och att han blivit en syndabock på grund av sin tid i Sovjet.
60:18
Allt detta missar 11-åriga Patricia. Det är först på söndagen som hennes mamma tillåter barnen att slå på tvn igen.
60:28
We're having a late breakfast, watching something on television, and they broke in with the transfer of Lee from city jail to county jail.
60:42
My brothers start hollering, Mom, look, Mr. Lee's on TV.
60:49
And it is through this corridor of newsmen, photographers, and policemen that Lee Oswald will be brought to a vehicle for transfer to the Dallas County Jail a distance of about 15 blocks or 1.3 miles.
61:04
Patricia can't trust his eyes. On TV, we're told that they won't take any of those. That is the situation at this hour at Dallas Police headquarters.
61:29
Många amerikaner är rasande på Lee Harvey Oswald. Särskilt i Dallas, där skammen ligger tung över stan. Och en av dem som känner extra starkt för händelsen är en man vid namn Jack Ruby.
61:42
Jack Ruby owned a nightclub in Dallas called The Carousel Club. He was also well known to Dallas police officers. Ruby was a man who liked to be where the action was.
61:54
Jack Ruby är en kort man med begynnande flint. Han driver en stripklubb, några kvarter från platsen där Kennedy blivit skjuten.
62:03
Till stripklubben går många journalister och poliser i Dallas. Och Ruby har därför att känna många av männen som befinner sig i polishuset den här dagen.
62:12
He sort of built up this persona that there were maybe underworld ties surrounding him. Ruby actually did have low-level ties to organized crime growing up in Chicago. But here in Dallas, he was this kind of man about town who liked to go to the newspaper offices, liked to go to the police station. And so he was there the weekend of the Kennedy assassination, just mingling in the hallway alongside newspaper and TV reporters.
62:42
Under dagarna efter mordet bygger Ruby upp ett intensivt hat mot Lee Harvey Oswald.
62:48
Han säger att Jackie borde skronas från att möta mördaren i en rättegång.
62:53
Därför har han tagit med sig en pistol till polisstationen.
62:57
Och när Oswald förs ut från sin cell för att flyttas från häktet till fängelset tränger Ruby sig fram medan NBC filmar.
63:05
There is Lee Harvey Oswald.
63:10
He's been shot. He's been shot. Eddie Oswald has been shot.
63:15
Jack Ruby stepped forward and shoots him.
63:18
There's the man with a gun. It's absolute panic.
63:22
Absolute panic here in the basement of Dallas police headquarters. Detectives have their guns drawn. Oswald has been shot. There is no question about it. Oswald has been shot.
63:35
Hemme hos Patricia i sjuken total.
63:38
At that time, we did not know what death was. No one in our family had passed away.
63:47
My brothers go hysterical.
63:49
I think my attention went to comforting them, even though I was upset. And Mother jumps up, turns off the TV...
64:01
And she has to sit down with us and explain what he's been accused of, what's been going on over at my grandmother's house with the FBI, and why we just saw our friend shot on television.
64:25
Jack Ruby döms till döden. Domen överklagas, men Ruby går bort ur cancer innan någon ny rättegång innehållas.
64:34
Men faktum kvarstår att president Kennedys misstänkte mördare Lee Harvey Oswald har dödat och tagit med sig sin version av berättelsen i graven.
64:50
I was so angry at John Kennedys assassination that I swore I would never go to Texas.
64:57
Now remember 1963, 1964. No computers.
65:13
No internet. Everything was paper.
65:27
Tipsen strömmer in till FBI och CIA och det behövs fler händer för att sålla i dokumentmassorna.
65:34
Did Russia have anything to do with it? Did Oswald get some help from Cuba? What was he doing for the mafia etc?
65:41
Det faktum att presidentens mördare också blivit skjuten spär på känslan av en konspiration. En del tror att CIA kommit på kant med Kennedy och att det är underrättelsetjänsten själva som beställt mordet.
65:55
Andra börjar misstänka att vice presidenten Lyndon B. Johnson ligger bakom.
66:00
Some people couldn't believe that how did Jack Ruby have access?
66:05
He knew all the cops, he went to interviews, he walked into the station. Did he have mafia ties? Well, you know, who knows? There's no clear evidence that he had any mafia ties.
66:18
Kommissionens utredare undrar framförallt vad som hände när Lee Harvey Oswald bodde i Sovjetunionen och om han blev värvad av deras underrättelsetjänst KGB. Det kommer också fram att Lee reste till Mexiko några veckor före mordet. Där har han sökt visum både till Sovjet och Kuba och haft misstänkta möten.
66:38
When Oswald went to Mexico City prior to the assassination to try and get that visa to go to Cuba, he spoke with KGB agents at the Soviet consulate, including essentially a KGB agent in charge of political assassination. So talking with an assassinations expert with the KGB in Mexico City shortly before the Kennedy assassination is certainly grounds for some people to believe there's probably a conspiracy there.
67:07
But the commission comes forward to that either russians, Kuba, CIA, vice-presidenten or mafian have been able to kill Kennedy. The commission's conclusion is that both Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby have acted on the same way.
67:23
Every piece of evidence, every aspect of the Kennedy assassination story, it's frustrating and tantalizing because you can look at it from one perspective and see pretty clearly that it's absolutely possible that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. But if you turn that evidence slightly, if you look at it from a slightly different angle, There will be grounds for conspiratorial intrigue, no matter what the evidence is.
68:02
The last major Gallup poll done was in 2023 at the 60th anniversary of the assassination and that found that 65% of the American public believed in a conspiracy and only 29% believed that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone.
68:19
Patricia Hall, som träffade Lee Harvey Oswald när han var inneboende hos hennes mormor, går längre än så. För hon tror att Lee var helt oskyldig.
68:29
I am absolutely convinced that Mr. Lee did not fire a single shot that day. He did not kill the president.
68:45
Men Ray Shurtleff tycker att kommissionen som han arbetade med efter mordet presenterar en rapport som står sig än idag.
68:53
Those lawyers worked their butt off, excuse my French.
68:57
And they come up with conclusions that I respect.
69:04
Monday, November 25th, 1963. We're originating our program in Washington, where funeral and burial services for John Kennedy take place today.
69:14
Den 25 november 1963 ligger president Kennedys kista på lite parad på Capitolium i Washington. Det är kallt ute, men hundratusentals människor köar framför Capitolium för att ta ett sista farväl.
69:28
In the darkness the people moved.
69:31
By the thousands they formed a patient silent column for a breast and up to nine miles long as they waited to say farewell to their late president.
69:40
Under begravningen är Jackie Kennedy klädd i en svarträkt med en matchande hatt och sorgflor. Vid sin sida har hon sina barn som både är klädda i ljusblå kappor och röda skor. Caroline som ska fylla sex och John Jr. som fyller tre just den här dagen. John Jr. gör honnör framför sin pappas kista.
70:01
Mrs. Kennedy stared fixably ahead.
70:04
She stopped to quiet Caroline and young John who seemed thankfully unaware of what was happening.
70:16
1968 gör sig Kennedy-förbannelsen återigen påmind. Det har gått nästan fem år sedan mordet i Dallas och nu kampanjar John Kennedys lillebror Bobby för att bli president.
70:28
We want to deal with our own problems within our own country and we want peace in Vietnam.
70:34
Journalisten Britt-Marie Mattsson.
70:36
Bobby Kennedy, who is still a younger and more dramatic change, who has a big hope for him.
70:45
Bobby is more progressive than his dead brother. A candidate who understands young people. But it's not everyone who thinks about him.
70:52
Kennedy has stepped up on that platform and gone through that door over there. And he was shot!
71:05
Under ett valmöte blir Bobby skjuten av en ung amerikansk palestinsk man som motsätter sig Bobbys stöd till Israel.
