The Good Shepherd

Well first I want to say that there

the will not be under any condition

be an intervention in Cuba

by Unites States armed forces.

This government will do

everything it possibly can

and I think it can meet

it's responsibilities

to make sure that there are no

Americans involved in any actions

inside Cuba.

Excuse me sir.

Do you have change for a dollar?

Thank you sir.

You're welcome

From our friends on Wall Street.

Miami?

Right away.

Cardinal is interested.

So the weatherman says

Sunday is the perfect day

for a trip to the beach.

I hope you can still dance Edward.

In a couple of days we will be doing

the cha cha in El Comandante's bedroom.

I'll try to remember to bring

my dancing shoes, Richard.

Good morning Ray.

Mr. Hayes.

Miami.

And our Op center off Guatemala.

Pack a bathing suit Mr. Brocco.

We're going for a swim.

What do you make of

our chances for success?

If we get the support

that we've been promised

I'd say it's fairly certain.

But if there are any doubts

I can still put out the fire.

It's gone beyond that.

Rocking chair is still smiling.

door knock

It's the White House.

Everybody is waiting for the good news.

Godspeed!

When your back

come up to the mountains.

We'll go fishing.

Yes sir.

He's been put on notice.

In Cuba,

sometime before dawn,

The invading forces' B-26 bombers

give air cover to men

landing on the beach.

As the sun rises

there is a surprised attack

from Castro's air force.

The B-26s are shot down.

Without air cover, the anti-Castro

forces' ships are attacked.

And the men are cut

off from their supplies.

The situation looks dire.

Where is the air support!

Where the hell is the Navy.

Would you throw something into

this vital point of the battle.

Enemy in red trucks

coming from red beach

are right now 1 km from blue beach.

Two thousand militia

attacking blue beach

from east to west.

We need

close air support immediately!

Well, I am destroying all my

equipment and communications.

I have nothing with which to fight.

I'm going to the woods.

I cannot wait for you.

I'm going to the woods.

They knew where to find us.

There's a stranger in our house.

I love you.

People who really love each

other don't have secrets.

You are safe here with me.

I love you.

People who really love each

other don't have secrets.

You are safe here with me.

unintelligible conversation

I love you.

People who really love each

other don't have secrets.

You are safe here with me.

The president is saying they're going

to break the CIA into a thousand pieces.

Somebody on your desk

gave away the store.

Told the Soviets where to

find you at the Bay of Pigs.

You've got a problem very close to home.

There will be an extensive house

cleaning on your side of the street.

F***ing cigarette.

Are there any regulars

that can fit me anymore?

They didn't get it all.

I'm sorry.

Be careful.

Your name is on a must worry list.

Right at the very top.

You forgot your hat.

Somebody left a package

at my doorstep last night.

Have tech wash them right away.

I've been trying to reach you.

Well, I haven't been staying

at the compound. ?????

I heard there was a setback.

Sometimes the best laid

plans of mice and men.

Be very careful.

I'll be fine. You worry too much.

Just please be careful.

Everything is fine.

Goodbye son.

Goodbye father.

Ms. Buttercup.

Skull and Bones. Accept or reject?

Accept.

Not a word to anyone.

How does it feel being a woman.

Why do you want to know?

laughter

Gentlemen!

I will remind you

you've all taken an oath

of secrecy.

You have been chosen

to become members of

America's most secret society.

For over a hundred years

Skull and Bones members

have included a president,

vice presidents,

Supreme Court justices,

congressmen and senators,

captains of science and industry.

The very best of America.

secret oath in Latin

cheering

Come on!

I don't think this is for me.

You can't take it personally.

Getting pissed on is

personal Mr. Russell.

So I take it very personal.

Edward!

We're all in this together.

Come back inside.

We're brothers for life.

Tell us Mr. Wilson, brother to brother

something you've never

told anyone before.

Your most guarded secret.

Something you will

need to trust us with.

It was the 4th of July, 1925.

I was six.

I was playing tag with a friend of mine.

and I tried to get away from him

so I ran up the stairs

into my parents room.

And I hid in a closet.

I looked at my father's clothes

and hanging there was

his admirals jacket.

And then I heard a sound.

and I saw my father

and I must have made a

noise because he turned

and came into the closet

and opened the door.

Have you ever made up a story Edward?

Told your friends something

you knew wasn't true?

And you know that if they found out...

they wouldn't like you anymore.

Why?

Because you lied to them.

You understand?

And he asked me if I knew was trust was.

And I said... trust is when

you feel safe with someone.

Like with my friends.

Like with you and mother.

And then he said.

Don't ever lie.

You shouldn't lie to your friends.

They won't trust you.

And you will have nothing.

And you'll never be safe.

He told me to go downstairs

and watch the fireworks.

Because they'd started.

And then he shut the door.

The sound of the gunshot was very

different from the sound of the fireworks.

And even at six years old I new

there was a big big difference.

There was a lot of blood.

Father?

And in his left hand he held a note

that was sealed.

I dont know why, buy I took the

note and I put it in my pocket.

I always said it was an accident.

It wasn't and accident.

My father killed himself.

singing

Congratulations Mr.

Wilson. I'm Richard Hayes.

Master of secrets and orders.

What did the note say?

I told you I never read the note.

You didn't read the note?

No.

My father said your father

was going to be appointed

Secretary of the Navy

until his loyalty

was brought under question.

We're not going to have a

problem with your loyalty are we?

And yet ...

a certain word

a glance, a guise,

will mirror never show?

reflecting not my gaze

but my uncertain question caught

inside a shadow of our shifting eyes.

That really is quite elegant Mr. Wilson

Good order. Very precise.

Feeling of the unknown.

Fine poetry is the music of mathematics.

Numbers.

Singing.

You have to look behind the words

to understand their meaning.

Right. Well, good night gentlemen.

Mr. Wilson

May I see you in my

office for a few words?

I am recommending you as editor of

our poetry magazine, The Politicus.

I'm honored. Thank you.

I appreciate your faith in me.

Never be ashamed of

your abilities, Edward.

Isn't there a picture that used to sit

on the mantle there, and there

was a group of soldiers...

It's my father's Crimean War regiment.

The ?????

I remember.

I'm having it mended.

I remembered it because it

reminded me of my father.
