Killing Kennedy Page #2

Spy!

You're back, like a bad penny.

Told you you'd regret it.

It's not what I thought

it would be.

And it's so damn cold.

I don't think I can take

another winter here.

Can you guarantee me there'll be

no legal proceedings against me?

I don't see why there would be.

Ironically, because

you failed to return,

you never officially

renounced your citizenship.

Can I bring my wife Marina?

Your wife's a Russian. She'll require an

exit visa from the Soviet authorities.

I want to bring my wife

back to the United States.

You're gonna love America, Mama.

I promise you.

English no good,

have no clothes.

You're gonna be fine.

And they'll love you there.

And we'll be happier

there, I promise.

Alik, you like little bird.

Where you happy?

A wife belongs with her husband,

and a baby with her father.

Junka needs her papa.

But, I would say that

being president is a fine job.

It's a fine job.

I get to walk to work

and the pay is nice.

You look so beautiful.

Would you tell Mrs. Baldridge

that we are on our way down?

Yes, Mr. President.

Mr. Oswald.

Please!

Mr. Oswald, are you a communist?

Yes, basically.

Although I hate the USSR,

I do believe that Marxism

can exist under

different circumstances.

Why did you go to the

USSR, Mr. Oswald?

I went as a mark of protest

against American political

policies in foreign countries.

I'm working.

Go finish packing.

Go mind the baby then. Go.

Mr. Oswald, are you

a communist?

No, of course not.

Mr. Oswald, why have you chosen

to come back to America?

I have lived under

both systems.

I have sought the answers.

Thank you, Mr. Oswald.

You are a true patriot.

His name is Oswald?

Lee Harvey Oswald.

I have to wonder what he

was really doing in Russia

and why the hell the State

Department let him come back.

How'd he end up in Dallas?

He's from here,

his mother's here.

I interviewed her

two years ago after he left.

"My poor misunderstood boy"

and all that.

What'd he do, change his

name to Oswaldovitch?

Mr. Oswald? I'm John Fain.

I'm an agent with the FBI.

I was told there'd be no

charges brought against me.

There are no charges. I'm

just asking a few questions.

I expected questions

from reporters.

There weren't any reporters.

Why did you go to Russia

in the first place?

Mr. Oswald?

It's just something I did.

Did you go to Russia

because you're a communist?

I don't really want to talk about

the past. I mean, I'm here now.

Are you now or have you ever

been a communist?

I've never had a card.

When you went to Russia,

your mother told

the State Department

you were some sort

of secret agent.

Are you?

A secret agent?

Are you involved with

an intelligence agency?

You're FBI.

Yes.

And you don't know.

Lee?

Oh, my God. It's as hot

in here as it is outside.

You live in this?

Oh! This is horrible.

How can you raise my granddaughter

in a horrible place like this?

Nyet, nyet.

Why don't you speak English yet?

You moved here,

you should speak English.

Mama, Mama,

what are you doing here?

Oh, I brought groceries,

I brought diapers.

How did you find us?

Why is it so hot in here?

I didn't want you coming here.

Oh, you can't live here.

You're moving back in with me.

No, Mama, I told you

we're not moving in with you.

And what are you wearing? Married

women don't wear shorts that short.

Ooh, she is a sour girl,

that one.

I brought a bassinette.

It's in the trunk.

Why don't you go out

and get it?

No, Mama,

I don't want you here.

I don't want you

meddling in our lives.

Well, I can drive you around

to look for a job.

I found a job!

Oh, well, I can help

with the baby.

I don't want your help.

You understand? That's why we moved.

To get away from you.

That's why I joined

the Marines.

Now you stop that. You don't

talk to me like that.

Where are you going?

I'm going to check

on my wife and daughter,

and when I come back,

I want you gone.

Lee, you finally came

back home to me,

don't let that woman

take you away from me again.

You're it!

Oh, Mrs. Kennedy.

I'm sorry.

The pool is closed.

Closed?

Yes, closed, Mrs. Kennedy.

Oh, no!

I see.

You have a woman problem.

Judith Campbell?

Edgar tells me in my capacity

as Attorney General

and as much as my capacity

as your brother, I imagine,

that you're having an affair

with Judith Campbell.

Who is also having an affair

with Sam Giancana.

Sam Giancana is a mobster.

I'm aware of who Sam is.

Jesus Christ, Jack. I'm investigating

Sam Giancana for racketeering!

The press has been very good about

looking the other way when it comes to...

But this is dangerous.

All right.

Is there anything else?

No Judith Campbell.

No Giancana.

No mob.

Mr. Oswald.

I've already answered

all your questions.

Would you mind talking with us again?

Just a few minutes.

Well, my wife and

daughter are inside, so.

We don't need to disturb them.

We'll just talk here.

We learned that you contacted the

Russian Embassy in Washington.

You mind telling us why?

My wife is a Russian citizen.

She's supposed to let the

embassy know where she is.

Is that all? What do

you mean, is that all?

Did you talk to any Soviet

intelligence officers?

About what?

About American imperialism?

About inequality for Negroes?

What?

What I want to know, Lee, is are

they asking you to spy for them?

Is that why they

let you come back?

Is that why they

let you bring Marina

and your daughter, June?

Are you a Russian spy?

Why would anyone

discuss spying with me?

I mean, you're the big, bad FBI.

Shouldn't you know?

Ain't you got

bigger fish to fry?

Think of the state that our

country is in at the moment.

You come here to harass me in front

of my home? Look where I live.

Get out.

Come on. Let's go.

Your verdict?

I don't know. He's a jerk.

Insolent, arrogant.

You tell me. Would you

choose this guy as a spy?

I don't see how

he's a security risk.

I say we close it.

This could be your

last case, John.

Lee Oswald. Then I'm done.

Twenty and out.

FBI.

In Russia it's KGB.

Here it's FBI.

What is that?

Where did you get

the money for that?

I told you not to let

her in this house.

How can I say no?

Marina, you just do what I say.

You understand? That's it.

You just do as I say.

I'm the man in this house.

You're not a man.

You're a little boy.

They're afraid of me. They're the

FBI, and they're afraid of me.

Everyone afraid of Alik.

They've been following me

and persecuting me.

It's good. I take Junka,

we go see people.

It's good for baby.

Ah!

You don't need to go out there.

Don't open that door.

Don't let them in.

You understand?

I'm the man of this house.

Not gonna be no peace.

You're watching me?

Then I'm watching you, too.

Good morning, Mac.

It's not so good, Mr. President.

Our U-2 spy planes have confirmed

that the Russians have placed

offensive nuclear

missiles in Cuba.

Hello, Jack.

Isn't this a nice surprise?

Just wanted to hear your voice.
