what the hell is wrong.Copy !req
12. No one would kill you, Frohike.Copy !req
13. No one would kill you, Frohike.Copy !req
14. You're just a little puppy dog.Copy !req
15. I don't utter
another syllableCopy !req
16. until a CSM-25 countermeasure
filter is activated.Copy !req
17. No electronic
surveillance knownCopy !req
18. can cut through the CSM-25.Copy !req
19. Okay, okay.Copy !req
20. Now tell us
what you're so close to.Copy !req
21. Not a "what"-- a "who."Copy !req
22. If you find the right
starting pointCopy !req
23. and follow it,
not even secretsCopy !req
24. of the darkest of men are safe.Copy !req
25. Cancer Man?Copy !req
26. Cancer Man?Copy !req

90. Your father was a convicted spy
for the Soviet Union,Copy !req
91. executed in a Louisiana
electric chair,Copy !req
92. was he not?Copy !req
93. My only regret, sir, isCopy !req
94. I was too young
to throw the switch myself.Copy !req
95. At ease, Captain.Copy !req
96. Your father's actions wereCopy !req
97. totally out of your control.Copy !req
98. Each of us in this room
understands a life evisceratedCopy !req
99. Each of us in this room
understands a life evisceratedCopy !req
100. by the actions of another.Copy !req
101. Cigarette?Copy !req
102. No, thank you, sir.Copy !req
103. I never touch them.Copy !req
104. You see, Captain, most people
seek to control life's eventsCopy !req
105. in order to secure
a more positive, productiveCopy !req
106. and free existence.Copy !req
107. Often, however,
the objectivesCopy !req
108. of others conflict
with our objectives.Copy !req
109. Viva la libertad.Copy !req
110. Now...Copy !req
111. most people—
common people, really—Copy !req
112. can barely manage to controlCopy !req
113. their own self-centered,
myopic existence.Copy !req
114. their own self-centered,
myopic existence.Copy !req
115. They command
armies of lawyersCopy !req
116. armed with
paper weapons,Copy !req
117. attacking with
spiteful, vengeful...Copy !req
118. cowardly litigation.Copy !req
119. Others... operate withinCopy !req
120. elephantine bureaucracies.Copy !req
121. And then, Captain...Copy !req
122. there are extraordinary men.Copy !req
123. Those who must identify,Copy !req
124. Those who must identify,Copy !req
125. comprehend
and ultimatelyCopy !req
126. shoulder the
responsibilityCopy !req
127. for not only
their own existenceCopy !req
128. but their country's
and the world's as well.Copy !req
129. Your father, Captain,Copy !req
130. believed his countryCopy !req
131. should look to another
form of government,Copy !req
132. and he took control
of that belief.Copy !req
133. So, in that respect,Copy !req
134. we view him
as an extraordinary man.Copy !req
135. And we believe—Copy !req
136. And we believe—Copy !req
137. we know, Captain—Copy !req
138. that it runs in the family.Copy !req
139. Now, don't misunderstand.Copy !req
140. You father should
have been executed.Copy !req
141. Communism is
without a doubtCopy !req
142. the most heinous
personificationCopy !req
143. of evil mankind has
ever confronted,Copy !req
144. and it is, in part,Copy !req
145. the reason that you are
before us here today.Copy !req
146. You must understand, Captain,
everything I'm about to sayCopy !req
147. You must understand, Captain,
everything I'm about to sayCopy !req
148. is classified
"compartmentalized"Copy !req
149. so intensely that if you
accept this assignmentCopy !req
150. and successfully execute it,
you will no longer be an officerCopy !req
151. of the United States Army,Copy !req
152. nor will any record
exist of your service.Copy !req
153. The assignment...
is the assassinationCopy !req
154. of an American civilian,
aged 46...Copy !req
155. former Naval
PT-boat commander...Copy !req
156. former Naval
PT-boat commander...Copy !req
157. married,
father of two.Copy !req
158. Last week, Captain,Copy !req
159. this country was
brought to the brinkCopy !req
160. of nuclear annihilation—Copy !req
161. a situation which never
would have arisenCopy !req
162. had the individual in question,
as commander in chief,Copy !req
163. provided an umbrella
of air supportCopy !req
164. during the invasion
of Bahia de Cochinos.Copy !req
165. during the invasion
of Bahia de Cochinos.Copy !req
166. Is there a cover story?Copy !req
167. Tell them it was done by men
from outer space.Copy !req
168. We've found
and are setting up a patsy.Copy !req
169. Where?Copy !req
170. You shouldn't
smoke those, Lee.Copy !req
171. I'm reading studies
that say they can kill you.Copy !req
172. Well...Copy !req
173. Mr. Hunt... sir.Copy !req
174. I've heard about those reports,Copy !req
175. and they are
no doubt correct.Copy !req
176. You'll have a good view
of the president today.Copy !req
177. Well, I like the
president's family.Copy !req
178. They're interesting people.Copy !req
179. However, I have
my own viewsCopy !req
180. on the president's
national policy.Copy !req
181. I'll probably
just eat lunch.Copy !req
182. I'll probably
just eat lunch.Copy !req
183. I'm going to the movies
at the Texas Theatre.Copy !req
184. It's only 90 cents.Copy !req
185. I love the movies.Copy !req
186. I brought
the curtain rods, Lee.Copy !req
187. I bought some curtain
rods just like thisCopy !req
188. from a mail order
back in March.Copy !req
189. You did?Copy !req
190. You did?Copy !req
191. Or A.J. Hidell?Copy !req
192. Well, Mr. Hunt,Copy !req
193. Fidel's defenders
have to be careful.Copy !req
194. Yes, we do.Copy !req
195. Speaking of which, Lee,Copy !req
196. I've informed
our fellow defenderCopy !req
197. that you will hide the
curtain rods on the sixth floorCopy !req
198. of the book depositoryCopy !req
199. behind the cartons
against the back wall.Copy !req
200. Cuban visa?Copy !req
201. Once I've been notified
the curtain rodsCopy !req
202. have been safely removed
from the depository,Copy !req
203. the visa and the money
for your tripCopy !req
204. will be in your room.Copy !req
205. Take a bus.Copy !req
206. I left all my money
with my wife.Copy !req
207. That's all I've got.Copy !req
208. 13 and change.Copy !req
209. You better get going, Lee.Copy !req
210. You wouldn't want
to miss your ride to work.Copy !req
211. Oh. Good morning, Lee.Copy !req
212. Oh. Good morning, Lee.Copy !req
213. Starting work right on time.Copy !req
214. Yes, sir.Copy !req
215. The president should be
driving past any minute.Copy !req
216. I think I hear everyone
down on the fifth floor.Copy !req
217. Where's Lee?
Does he want to come?Copy !req
218. Hey, Lee, come on.Copy !req
219. Will, hurry up!Copy !req
220. the president's car
is now turning onto Elm Street.Copy !req
221. I was on the Stemmons Freeway
earlier and even the freeway wasCopy !req
222. I was on the Stemmons Freeway
earlier and even the freeway wasCopy !req
223. jam-packed with spectators
waiting to see the president.Copy !req
224. People are really
starting to crowd in now.Copy !req
225. The motorcade is headingCopy !req
226. down Elm Street now,Copy !req
227. passing
the Texas Schoolbook Depository.Copy !req
228. It looks like all of Dallas
has turned out...Copy !req
229. I can't quite see from here...Copy !req
230. We're hit! We're hit!Copy !req
231. We're hit! We're hit!Copy !req
232. It appears something hasCopy !req
233. happened on the motorcade route.Copy !req
234. Does anyone know what happened?Copy !req
235. Is there any information?Copy !req
236. Upstairs!Copy !req
237. Do you know this man?Copy !req
238. Yes, he works for me.Copy !req
239. The President
of the United States is dead.Copy !req
240. It is official now.Copy !req
241. President Kennedy is dead.Copy !req
242. No. No. No, sir.Copy !req
243. No. No. No, sir.Copy !req
244. I won't be a patsy.Copy !req
245. weight about 165 pounds.Copy !req
246. Possibly armed and should be
considered dangerous.Copy !req
247. Use caution approaching.Copy !req
248. Afternoon.Copy !req
249. I wish to see some form
of identification, sir.Copy !req
250. Now, easy there, partner.Copy !req
251. I just want to
talk a minute.Copy !req
252. If I don't see
valid credentials,Copy !req
253. I'm going to assume
you're with them.Copy !req
254. "Them"? What do you mean,
partner?Copy !req
255. How about
a cigarette?Copy !req
256. Thank you.Copy !req
257. You know,
Kiefer knocked out a bunker.Copy !req
258. All by himself, too.Copy !req
259. All by himself, too.Copy !req
260. He'll have more guts
than I've got.Copy !req
261. All I did was
pick up the spoil.Copy !req
262. But he's really got it.Copy !req
263. After Connors and Thurston ran,
he knocked outCopy !req
264. the bunker with one grenade.Copy !req
265. Now, that's really
something, huh?Copy !req
266. Yeah.Copy !req
267. Take this side.Copy !req
268. All right.Copy !req
269. Get along.Copy !req
270. Officer, what's going on?Copy !req
271. Go ahead
and settle down.Copy !req
272. On your feet.Copy !req
273. Come on.Copy !req
274. It's going to be all over.Copy !req

277. I'm not
resisting arrest!Copy !req
278. Stop hitting me,
you sons of bitches!Copy !req
279. Stop hitting me,
you sons of bitches!Copy !req
280. I'm not the one!
I'm not the one!Copy !req
281. I'm not resisting arrest!Copy !req
282. Police brutality!Copy !req
283. This is police brutality!Copy !req
284. I'm not resisting arrest!Copy !req
285. Let me go! I can walk!Copy !req
286. Get him in the car!Copy !req
287. Let me go!Copy !req
288. I can walk!Copy !req
289. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.:
We must, with positive action,Copy !req
290. seek to remove
those conditions of povertyCopy !req
291. insecurity and injustice,Copy !req
292. which are the fertile soilCopy !req
293. in which the seed
of communism grows and develops.Copy !req
294. These are revolutionary times.Copy !req
295. All over the globe,Copy !req
296. men are revolting
against old systemsCopy !req
297. of exploitation and oppression,Copy !req
298. and out of the wombs
of a frail world,Copy !req
299. new systems of justice
and equality are being born.Copy !req
300. new systems of justice
and equality are being born.Copy !req
301. The shirtless
and barefoot people of the landCopy !req
302. are rising up as never before.Copy !req
303. I can kill you
whenever I please...Copy !req
304. The people who sat in darkness
have seen a great light.Copy !req
305. We in the West
must support these revolutions.Copy !req
306. But not today.Copy !req
307. It is a sad factCopy !req
308. that because
of comfort, complacency,Copy !req
309. a morbid fear of communismCopy !req
310. and our proneness
to adjust to injustice,Copy !req
311. the Western nations
that initiatedCopy !req
312. so much of the revolutionary
spirit of the modern worldCopy !req
313. so much of the revolutionary
spirit of the modern worldCopy !req
314. have now become
the arch anti-revolutionaries.Copy !req
315. This has driven many to feelCopy !req
316. that only Marxism has
the revolutionary spirit.Copy !req
317. Therefore, communism
is a judgmentCopy !req
318. against our failure
to make democracy realCopy !req
319. and follow through
on the revolutionsCopy !req
320. that we initiated.Copy !req
321. No, no.
Why did you have to do that?Copy !req
322. to recapture
the revolution...Copy !req
323. Why didn't you know
this was coming... Edgar?Copy !req
324. Last year, the House
was not smilingCopy !req
325. on non-eye to eye
surveillance.Copy !req
326. So I stopped.Copy !req
327. We called
Ramsey ClarkCopy !req
328. to receive a go-ahead
on tapping King's phone,Copy !req
329. but he refused.Copy !req
330. Our behind-the-fence
operations on WillieCopy !req
331. believes that King's ally
Stokely CarmichaelCopy !req
332. is recruiting
a Negro armyCopy !req
333. to wage war
on white America.Copy !req
334. to wage war
on white America.Copy !req
335. Wouldn't you if you were them?Copy !req
336. If this were only
a civil rights issue, I'd voteCopy !req
337. for a King/Benjamin Spock
presidential ticket.Copy !req
338. But after last night, it's not.Copy !req
339. You actually
sound sad about it.Copy !req
340. I respect King.Copy !req
341. He's an extraordinary man.Copy !req
342. But now he's talking
like a Maoist,Copy !req
343. and if he convinces Negroes
not to fight in Vietnam,Copy !req
344. we'll lose.Copy !req
345. And the first domino
will have fallen.Copy !req
346. We must step up our
efforts to discredit him.Copy !req
347. Like your ridiculous
suicide project?Copy !req
348. Like your ridiculous
suicide project?Copy !req
349. "There is but one way out
for you."Copy !req
350. That dumb letter attempting
to drive King into despairCopy !req
351. only alerted him to the level
of our surveillance.Copy !req
352. We could create
a film of himCopy !req
353. with a woman
other than his wife.Copy !req
354. Using existing footage,Copy !req
355. we could insert him in
a film we make of a woman...Copy !req
356. a white woman.Copy !req
357. The solution is more intense...
than just dirty tricks.Copy !req
358. If you'll excuse us,
gentlemen,Copy !req
359. the director has a meeting
at the White House.Copy !req
360. Sit down.Copy !req
361. You've enough
plausible deniabilityCopy !req
362. to last the rest
of your nine lives.Copy !req
363. A sig force can execute
a wet-insert operation.Copy !req
364. One day,Copy !req
365. he and his immediate circleCopy !req
366. are just found dead.Copy !req
367. Too many questions.Copy !req
368. Americans believe the South is
still fighting the Civil War.Copy !req
369. Americans believe the South is
still fighting the Civil War.Copy !req
370. We find ourselves
a cracker patsy,Copy !req
371. and the motives become
very black and white.Copy !req
372. Another patsy.Copy !req
373. Should we...
advise the president?Copy !req
374. I work very hard
to keep any presidentCopy !req
375. from knowing I even exist.Copy !req
376. Who will you order
to do it?Copy !req
377. I'll do it myself.Copy !req
378. I have too much respect
for the man.Copy !req
379. I have too much respect
for the man.Copy !req
380. The nation is sick.Copy !req
381. Trouble is in the land.Copy !req
382. Confusion all around.Copy !req
383. That's a strange statement.Copy !req
384. But I know somehowCopy !req
385. that only when it is dark enough
can you see the stars.Copy !req
386. And I see God workingCopy !req
387. in this period
of the 20th century...Copy !req
388. in this period
of the 20th century...Copy !req
389. in a way...Copy !req
390. that men in some strange way
are responding.Copy !req
391. Something is happening
in our world.Copy !req
392. The masses of people
are rising up...Copy !req
393. and wherever
they are assembled today,Copy !req
394. whether they are in
Johannesburg, South Africa;Copy !req
395. Nairobi, Kenya; Accra, Ghana;Copy !req
396. New York City;
Atlanta, Georgia;Copy !req
397. New York City;
Atlanta, Georgia;Copy !req
398. Jackson, Mississippi;
or Memphis, Tennessee;Copy !req
399. the cry is always the same:
"We want to be free."Copy !req
400. Raul...Copy !req
401. got the binoculars
you sent me out for.Copy !req
402. Just put them down
by your clothes.Copy !req
403. I heard, uh,
Dr. King is stayingCopy !req
404. I heard, uh,
Dr. King is stayingCopy !req
405. at the Lorraine Motel
right behind here.Copy !req
406. Our gun buyer's coming byCopy !req
407. to look at the rifle.Copy !req
408. Well... I gave it
to you this morning.Copy !req
409. I have it.Copy !req
410. Look, uh, three's a crowd.Copy !req
411. Here's a couple of hundred.Copy !req
412. Go to a movie
or something.Copy !req
413. Come back in two or three hours.Copy !req
414. Leave the Mustang.
I'll need it later.Copy !req
415. Well, I don't know
what will happen now.Copy !req
416. We've got some
difficult days ahead.Copy !req
417. But it really doesn't matter
with me now,Copy !req
418. because I've been
to the mountaintop.Copy !req
419. I don't mind.Copy !req
420. Like anybody,
I would like to live...Copy !req
421. Like anybody,
I would like to live...Copy !req
422. a long life.Copy !req
423. Longevity has its place.Copy !req
424. But I'm not concerned
about that now.Copy !req
425. I just want to do God's will.Copy !req
426. And he's allowed me
to go up to the mountain,Copy !req
427. and I've looked over...Copy !req
428. and I've seen...
the Promised Land.Copy !req
429. I may not get there with you,Copy !req
430. but I want you to know tonightCopy !req
431. but I want you to know tonightCopy !req
432. that we as a people
will get to the Promised Land!Copy !req
433. So I'm happy tonight.Copy !req
434. I'm not worried about anything.Copy !req
435. I'm not fearing any man.Copy !req
436. Mine eyes have seen the glory
of the coming of the Lord!Copy !req

633. Now, as I've expressed
in the letter,Copy !req
634. I wish to serialize your novelCopy !req
635. in our publication

637. in our publication.Copy !req
638. That's... that's great.Copy !req

642. a kind of Tom Clancy-ish
kind of look and that...Copy !req
643. Great, great. That's why
we work with young writers,Copy !req
644. but I'll be honest, however—Copy !req
645. you'll have to relinquish
some control.Copy !req
646. Of course. Of course.Copy !req
647. After all, it is our publication
and I can assure you,Copy !req
648. we will handle it
with the utmost respect.Copy !req
649. No, no, no.
I-I'm sure you will.Copy !req
650. I'm just excited.Copy !req
651. Understandable. Now, do you have
an agent or attorney?Copy !req
652. No.Copy !req
653. That's fine. It's a minimum
agreement of $2,500,Copy !req
654. That's fine. It's a minimum
agreement of $2,500,Copy !req
655. and you'll save yourself
ten percent.Copy !req
656. Well, that's fine, that's fine.
Anything.Copy !req
657. When do you plan

658. Roman á Clef—
it'll be on the newsstandsCopy !req
659. the morning of November 12.Copy !req

661. Have you got this week's issue
of Roman á Clef?Copy !req
662. Thanks.Copy !req
663. There you are.Copy !req
664. This isn't the ending
that I wrote.Copy !req
665. It's all wrong.Copy !req
666. Look, if you're going to
stand there and read it,Copy !req
667. I got to ask you to buy it.Copy !req
668. Of course,
I don't know whyCopy !req
669. anybody in
their right mindCopy !req
670. would want to buy
that sort of crap.Copy !req
671. That be it?Copy !req
672. Pack of Morleys.Copy !req
673. Life... is like
a box of chocolates—Copy !req
674. cheap, thoughtless,
perfunctory giftCopy !req
675. that nobody ever asks for—Copy !req
676. unreturnable,
because all you get backCopy !req
677. is another box of chocolates.Copy !req
678. So you're stuck with this
undefinable whipped-mint crapCopy !req
679. that you mindlessly wolf downCopy !req
680. when there's nothing else
left to eat.Copy !req
681. Sure, once in a while,
there's a peanut butter cupCopy !req
682. or an English toffee,Copy !req
683. but they're gone too fast
and the taste is... fleeting.Copy !req
684. but they're gone too fast
and the taste is... fleeting.Copy !req
685. So you end up with nothing
but broken bitsCopy !req
686. filled with hardened jelly
and teeth-shattering nuts,Copy !req
687. and if you're desperate enough
to eat those,Copy !req
688. all you've got left is a...Copy !req
689. is an empty boxCopy !req
690. filled with useless
brown paper wrappers.Copy !req
691. So far, this is based
only on a story I read inCopy !req
692. one of my weekly subscriptions
that rang a few bells.Copy !req
693. I'm going out to check
on the private hacker sourceCopy !req
694. who's been working
on tracking a few leadsCopy !req
695. that can produce
definitive proof, and thenCopy !req
696. that can produce
definitive proof, and thenCopy !req
697. we'll have him nailed.Copy !req
698. I can kill you
whenever I please.Copy !req
699. But not today.Copy !req
700. I made this!Copy !req
