00:00:00You

00:00:18My name is Kimball Smythe, but you don't need to know about me yet

00:00:23In fact, I wasn't even there that hot afternoon 30 years ago in a Texas town on the backside of nowhere

00:00:30still I

00:00:32Came to know a few pertinent bits and pieces about the beginning

00:00:36And about this woman who had dominated and changed so many lives

00:00:41Her name was Callie Lord then and she was young and somebody as they used to say had done her wrong

00:00:49quite wrong

00:00:51Funny thing is in the best tradition of melodramatic literature

00:00:55The tale of one day in right here where it all started

00:01:11Valley never even got to hold her baby. It was a boy

00:01:16The day after he was born a lawyer out of Amarillo drove into town to collect the merchandise

00:01:25I

00:01:31Listen carefully miss Lord. This first paper is called the act of relinquishment. I

00:01:39Callie Martha Lord do hereby relinquish and surrender said below described white male Caucasian infant for permanent adoption

00:01:46I've been thinking about this. Mr. Lawrence

00:01:49They're thinking a whole lot change my mind

00:01:52I'm afraid that's quite impossible. Miss lower. My clients have already paid out

00:01:58$245 in prenatal care

00:02:01You back out now Callie and they want to file on you for fraud

00:02:05in the front

00:02:07That's felony. I won't cause anybody any trouble

00:02:12That baby's my flesh

00:02:14I

00:02:16Paid back all the money. It's too late now

00:02:20You're a Christian girl, aren't you Callie?

00:02:23Never been in trouble before

00:02:26Well, then you try get a 10-year suspended sentence likely is not they put that baby in an orphan home

00:02:34If I sign it, could I just hold my baby for one minute? That wouldn't be right. Let's be too hard

00:02:44Well, I think good people

00:03:14There's

00:03:17Please witness that I am formally handing the Callie Martha Lord

00:03:21the cashier's check from the Republican Lone Star National Bank, Dallas, Texas

00:03:30For services rendered

00:03:44I

00:04:18Callie never told anybody the name of her baby's father. She buried the past the day she left Chillicothe

00:04:25With an ache in her heart $2,000 in her pocket. She bought a bus ticket to Dallas

00:26:07That's all right. No, I enjoyed it. You handled things quite beautifully to I think yeah

00:26:13Well, um, I give you lift

00:26:16No, I just thought I'd go find myself a real cup of coffee. I think it's time

00:26:19Well, I could use a cup of coffee myself

00:26:23Like with two sugars, I think

00:26:28Good

00:26:29Miss Laura, I did not make the connection

00:26:34What?

00:26:35People said Kelly set her cap that night for the most eligible bachelor in Dallas wrong

00:26:40Just a man and woman discovering a lot in common. It seems that love always happens when you're not out looking for it

00:26:49Okay

00:26:52Do you have any family here? No

00:26:55newspaper newspapers

00:26:59My mother my my wife my child my friend and my enemy

00:27:17I think you're remarkable

00:27:23You know, you can say that as often as you like I

00:27:27Would like to say that you handled yourself very well. You held your temper in that room today

00:27:33I mean, I know I'm not supposed to take sides, but

00:27:36That libel suit is as leaky as grandma's milk. I mean if I was you I'd turn right around and sue the behinds

00:27:41Oh, I may do that Cali Lord

00:27:44Cali Ward, I like that name

00:27:47Person who belongs to

00:27:51Might I see that person again sometime

00:27:59Good night

00:28:15You

00:28:22Here's where I come in and what a night it was

00:28:26Social Dallas was out in force bejeweled bedecked and hell-bent on scrutinizing the commoner who had married a prince

00:28:34Can't say I blame Randall for wanting to show her off

00:28:38Just sorry. I didn't meet her first

00:28:40Whatever it seemed that fate had finally dealt Callie a good card

00:28:59All right

00:29:02You take my breath away

00:29:05I

00:29:06Wish we hadn't even invited anybody else. So do I

00:29:10How are you? Good to see you. Hey, how are you? Howdy? How you doing? Good to see you

00:29:19Sure, I remember Jeannie, how are you? Welcome to our home. Thank you. I think you did right well for yourself

00:29:27That's Randall, but I quite agree with you all them books. You read I knew I should have got me a library card

00:29:40My wife Callie

00:30:10Allow the private recess. Yeah, don't don't go on too long

00:30:20You certainly do look lovely mrs. Bordeaux, did you buy that talk until a coffee?

00:30:40You

00:30:51Evening ma'am, I gather you have the same tolerance for these tribal rights as I do. I

00:30:58Just needed a little air. Mr. We haven't met yet. My name is Kimball Smythe

00:31:04I'm neither rich nor famous, but fairly civilized. Anyway, I teach political science at SMU. That's nice

00:31:12Mr. Smythe, I

00:31:15Guess I must be getting back to Randall now. You don't seem too anxious to go back inside

00:31:22Tell me have these old crocodiles been snapping at you

00:31:27The more than I expected

00:31:30And exactly the most popular marriage in Dallas this year

00:31:33Well, you better come with me

00:31:36I'll give you a little food for thought

00:31:40Please observe right in front of us there that painted gourd squash the one with the cherry on top

00:31:46Miss Cora Peabody

00:31:48Believe it or not. She was once the most celebrated hooker in East, Texas

00:31:52They say that on one memorable weekend in 1937

00:31:56She entertained 53 customers one of whom struck oil on Monday morning gave her $50,000 in the wedding rings tribute

00:32:03Oh and right through there. You might observe that rare species as Ludi England

00:32:09Arbiter of all that's rich and beauteous. Yes, and she makes me feel like I should use the servants entrance. Listen

00:32:15She's formerly known as Blanche Goober

00:32:19Goober

00:32:20Yeah, you know Oh Blanche ran a horse wiring your love field

00:32:24She shot and killed two lovers for which she escaped punishment by pleading self-defense

00:32:29Both men I might add got bullets in their back. Now that was 30 years ago

00:32:33Which is an absolute miracle because she told me personally she's only 28

00:32:42Wait a minute professor, how'd you get in here? Oh

00:32:46Over the back fence. I have to ease my way into these major events this character thing

00:32:52He's about my oldest friend because anything he tells you it's best to disbelieve

00:32:56I speak only the truth just like everything is printed in your newspaper

00:33:02Congratulations Randy, I think you got the gold

00:33:23Have I told you lately

00:33:26Much I love you. Mm-hmm

00:37:16Yes, God's will he's paying darling wait a minute I don't even want you to think like that it's not anybody's will but it is

00:37:24He waited for just the right moment to punish me

00:37:28Okay

00:37:29I'm not a great idea

00:37:32Susan doctor says it's okay. Why don't you and me just take a trip together alone?

00:37:38The doctor tell you I can't ever have a baby again ever I

00:37:43Don't care

00:37:45As long as we're together

00:37:49Nothing's ever gonna grow inside

00:38:18The first one was he was a fine boy

00:38:23Beautiful

00:38:26Healthy

00:38:31I just sold it like a basket of vegetables. Here's the money and here's the baby. Are you talking about?

00:38:56You

00:39:15Welcome home

00:39:17Not many people knew how sick Callie was she stayed three months in the hospital and at least twice the doctors feared

00:39:24She was dying of internal bleeding, but it was grief shame

00:39:29The day Randall brought her home. She was pale lost. She didn't know he had a surprise waiting

00:39:35He'd worked his tail off to keep Callie alive and sane

00:39:40Randall turned Texas upside down. This is what he wrought

00:39:45Told you all this room closed and locked forever. Just trust me, okay

00:39:55Whose child is this

00:40:01Thank you know, don't you

00:40:10How'd you find him lazy

00:40:17We'll go on introduce yourself

00:40:24I

00:40:45Is it really him can't you tell I can't believe it

00:40:55And you can believe this too they named him Randolph answers to Randy

00:41:07Randy

00:41:10My name is Callie

00:41:13I'm your mama. I love you more than you'll ever know

00:41:20God maybe have a little kiss

00:41:24Just

00:41:28One little teenage panic is right here

00:41:33Please

00:41:39All that

00:41:42So sorry

00:41:44I'll never do it again. Randy. Listen to me. I promise you I will never leave you again

00:41:49I love you. I love you so much

00:42:19I

00:42:50I

00:42:59Andy happy birthday boy

00:43:19Oh

00:43:44Hey

00:43:46Hey, how you doing? Hey, how you doing?

00:43:54How's your flight long you land in memphis

00:43:59How was the president

00:44:02You know, he's very impressive. Did he mention anything about our bay of pigs editorial? I think the word uh,

00:44:08Judas came up a couple of times. Yeah

00:44:10Oh, dear

00:44:12Don't worry about it though. I didn't tell him who came up with the line fools rush in

00:44:20Listen darling

00:44:23I don't know

00:44:26Exactly how to say this. I don't want to blow it out of proportion, but

00:44:31I think I think granny's too big to be sleeping in here now

00:44:36Well, he couldn't sleep

00:44:39Stomach hurt he ate too much birthday cake. You do remember today was his birthday, don't you?

00:44:44Yes

00:44:45Just want to get his little book climb up in bed with mama and read for a while. Is there anything wrong with that?

00:44:52Let's talk about it tomorrow why what's there to talk about?

00:45:00All right

00:45:04This is what I think

00:45:06Randy's not developing properly

00:45:09His grades are terrible

00:45:11I think you and he would benefit if we went ahead and sent him to that prep school up in connecticut

00:45:18I can't believe you still want to exile a 12 year old child 2 000 miles away from home. What do you mean exile?

00:45:26You know, there's just a slight possibility he might learn something up there

00:45:30Randy is a bright boy. He has simply not been challenged properly. That's all

00:45:34Never will be as long as you keep protecting him. Oh not protecting my son. It's a maternal felony

00:45:39All right. Let me use another word then as long as you keep smothering him

00:45:43I'll be the judge of that

00:45:45What?

00:45:45I said i'll be the judge of that

00:45:50Callie you know

00:45:53You're a wonderful mother

00:45:57But he's my boy too he's not yours he's mine

00:46:01He's not yours he's mine

00:46:05You found him who bore him

00:46:10Okay

00:46:14You're the mother i'm the father let's just leave it at that

00:46:30So

00:47:00All right

00:47:04All right

00:47:06You know, you keep whipping me

00:47:08I'm gonna take up golf. I don't I I don't have to take this kind of abuse, you know

00:47:13Play better in your life. What you nearly got a game there 15 love and blew it

00:47:18please

00:47:21Listen you called ted sorensen

00:47:25Oh, yeah, I did

00:47:27I suggested to him that

00:47:29The president just skip us on this trip he can

00:47:33Jax growls along so loud about oil and steel

00:47:37He's got to come down here show people. There's no blood on his fangs

00:47:41I hope he brings jackie with him as a diversion. You heard what happened to adlai stevenson the other day, didn't you? Yeah

00:47:47some of our local patriots whacked him over the head with one of those, uh

00:47:51Get out of the un picket signs. Yeah

00:47:54Number of nuts always bound to fall out of the tree in dallas

00:47:59That's callie

00:48:01She's good

00:48:05Randy's her whole life. Damn. She's so smart. I wish she'd get interested in something else

00:48:09Yeah for a self-educated woman. She mazes me

00:48:13knows the politics

00:48:16Listen, why don't you try to find her job on the newspaper election year's coming up? That's terrific or something

00:48:22Problem is it's a package deal. See callie and son

00:48:25Indeed they were a package deal a veritable corporation

00:48:30callie and son

00:48:31She's bound to determine that randy had it in him to write like him anyway

00:48:35Callie crossed that narrow line between possession and obsession

00:48:40She never even noticed the harder. She squeezed the more her son was slipping away from her

00:48:45This is a bonus for the people that are waiting out here

00:48:48Yeah

00:48:53Yeah, are you watching

00:48:57That boy can really draw a crowd, can't he

00:49:00Listen darling, we've got to be at the trademark by 12 15 sharp

00:49:05Well, we have to be seated before jack and jackie get there

00:49:09Yeah

00:49:10Well, listen tell randy he's going to get a chance to shake hands with the president

00:49:14Okay

00:49:18Darling doesn't make any difference what you wear. You're gonna look great. No matter what you put on

00:49:22Yeah

00:49:23Okay. All right. I'll see you there. Okay. I love you. Bye-bye

00:49:34Cheering and yelling going on down the way as they approach the cars

00:49:38Foreign

00:49:45The president passes right in front of a dallas police officer right in front of our cameras now

00:49:50Somebody patted his shoulder. This is kennedy coming along behind him grinning all the while

00:49:57The president's saying thank you very much if I may be permitted to read a presidential lip movement

00:50:04And

00:50:09So

00:50:25Um

00:50:38Talked to horace today another lawsuit

00:50:44Now I decided to sell the paper

00:50:48Why

00:50:51Honey the economy's picking up everything to do with dollars and cents. Well, why then?

00:50:58The post dispatch has been in your family over 100 years

00:51:03Maybe it's just because

00:51:06The life right now is so unsettled, I don't know

00:51:12But I think when they saw jack kennedy

00:51:18He was so young and vital and

00:51:24I haven't been able to shake that

00:51:32Darling I love you so much

00:51:35I

00:51:36Don't love our son. I just think it's time for us to get off this treadmill and find some time for ourselves

00:51:42Maybe raise a few head of cattle and randy loves the land. He's always loved the land

00:51:48Well, that's very touching darling

00:51:52I understand your concern but but you and I have both devoted ourselves to randy taking over the paper someday now if you sell it

00:51:59You're gonna strip our son of his inheritance. Is that your plan?

00:52:03Plan

00:52:06How can you plan anything in this day and age with all the lunatics running around the world

00:52:12Darling

00:52:14Don't get over this depression

00:52:17I want you to promise me something

00:52:19Don't you promise you won't make any decisions until you get over the pain of kennedy's death

00:52:25And after that randy and i'll back you in whatever you want

00:52:33Please

00:52:42I love you

00:53:02So

00:53:06I'm here to see the city editor. Is he expecting you? Yes. I'm a little early. I'll just go on in

00:53:14Sir, it's better to wait out here. I'll announce you

00:53:25Which one of you bastards wrote this who gave you the right to print lies about me, huh?

00:53:33Ah

00:53:55Another madman another gun

00:53:58Three more lives lost to the legions of lunatics with grievances and trigger fingers

00:54:04Randall died before he hit the city room floor

00:54:08We gave him a big funeral bishops eulogies tears the works

00:54:13In the 60s, we were getting it down pat

00:54:17Callie took his death a lot harder than I would have expected

00:54:21I never realized how much she loved my best friend. I wondered if randall knew I hope he did

00:54:28I

00:54:35Samuel says you gotta eat mama

00:54:43I miss him, too. Mama

00:54:50I know you do darling

00:54:53I know you do

00:54:56What are we gonna do mama it's gonna be all right

00:55:03It's gonna be fine

00:55:07I promise you that

00:55:21May I have a chair for my son, please

00:55:23Uh

00:55:25Mr. Bordeaux, there are no words to describe a profound sense of loss and waste. Thank you, please continue

00:55:33uh

00:55:35As you know, mr. Bordeaux turned down a recent offer to sell his newspaper. Yes, we shared all decisions

00:55:44It then became his intention to

00:55:47To

00:55:49Turn ownership of the dallas post dispatch over to its employees

00:55:55uh, he was fairly well along in the formation of this plan when

00:56:00Please go on

00:56:02well, perhaps

00:56:04Horace jensen can better explain these these documents. Mrs. Bordeaux is uh

00:56:10Your late husband's personal counsel and with all due respect

00:56:14these documents

00:56:16Represent the transfer of ownership from your late husband's estate to an employee committee

00:56:22All vested employees of this newspaper will become owners

00:56:26We propose to offer the generous sum of 11 dollars and 75 cents per share. Excuse me. Excuse me

00:56:37Gentlemen

00:56:39I hope there has not been a misunderstanding

00:56:42the dallas post dispatch

00:56:45Was founded by my late husband's great grandfather

00:56:47It has been owned and edited by bordeaux for four generations

00:56:52And thus it will continue my son will one day be the fifth

00:56:58I want this run tomorrow page one all editions

00:57:03It is an announcement that mrs. Randall bordeaux is accepting the editorship of the dallas post dispatch

00:57:10And she is assuring our readership that this great newspaper's

00:57:15Tradition and integrity will not only be continued but infused with new vitality

00:57:21Tomorrow morning at 7 a.m. I will be taking over my husband's desk and at 7 15. I will expect to have the regular news meeting

00:57:30Miss bordeaux, I

00:57:33I know how grieved you are over randall's tragic passing

00:57:37And

00:57:38But I cannot believe you'd go against his wishes

00:57:42Mr. Donahue

00:57:43I believe that since I am the widow of randall bordeaux and that since I slept next to him every night for the past 12 years

00:57:50I am in a better position to express my husband's wishes than you

00:57:54Now if you find fault with the new editor of this paper, I feel certain that your resignation will be accepted

00:58:04Yes

00:58:08Any more questions

00:58:12Here's what I mean

00:58:14This lead goes on forever. It is endless

00:58:17A speech by the president of the chamber of commerce is worth two graphs maximum. It is boring

00:58:23They're back here on page 27. I found a little tiny item

00:58:27And it's a hell of a story about a farmer who shot his wife

00:58:31He shot his wife's lover and the horse that fellow rode in on now that my friends at page one

00:58:37I want

00:58:38No correction. I demand that every word in this paper be bright and interesting

00:58:43Because if it bores you lord knows it's gonna bore the people right to sleep. Don't you think?

00:58:48To the surprise of just about everyone but me callie became one hell of a newspaper woman

00:58:53She slapped new paint on the old lady and circulation went up 22 percent the first year

00:58:58There's just two things in her life the paper and randy

00:59:02She earned power and she used it in 1968 she's voted one of the 10 most admired women in america

00:59:09But she went to bed alone. Callie, darling. It's ludy. Oh the paper looks wonderful. So fascinating

00:59:16But hadn't read a word about the hollyhock ball. It's such good cause the society page seemed bereft without it

00:59:23Oh ludy, you're absolutely right. The debutantes are the very soul of society page. However, we don't have a society page anymore

00:59:30It's called today's woman

00:59:32And this afternoon we are featuring a black woman. She makes patchwork quilts and she sells them for a thousand dollars apiece to boutiques

00:59:39She also gives half of her money to martin luther king. Isn't that something?

00:59:44to lose

00:59:48Trash absolute trash. I knew it the minute I laid eyes on her

00:59:52Uh

00:59:56There's not much left just routine stuff

00:59:58County commissioners jp

01:00:00We have recommendations if you want to use the space. Well, I want this paper to present a choice for every position on the ballot

01:00:05Okay, just the piece place six

01:00:08That's a horse race. You can take your pick. We like cr deacon

01:00:12That wouldn't be clive deacon, would it?

01:00:15Clyde deacon

01:00:18I don't

01:00:20Well check see if he's a former private detective if he is turn him inside out and use rosen

01:00:25excuse me, ma'am

01:00:26You want me to take our best man off the governor's race and have him check out a jp candidate?

01:00:31You heard me correctly

01:00:33Here's one thing this paper does stand for it's justice across the board

01:00:36So

01:00:43Hi, baby, sorry, I missed our dinner samuel fix your tray

01:00:47And we put out two extra dishes tonight and they sold out just like that. I've never seen anything like it

01:01:01I suspected you'd been smoking

01:01:03Hmm

01:01:05Ain't your basic filter tip mama

01:01:09You want to try some

01:01:10I suggest you read page one of the night final judge bricker

01:01:14Just gave two boys 30 years in the state penitentiary for marijuana possession. Yeah, i've read page one of the night final

01:01:22Interesting social notes from all over you haven't read that bitty little item about bobby kennedy getting shot to death in la

01:01:28Do not be facetious with me. Oh, I wouldn't dream of him mama

01:01:32I'm real pragmatic

01:01:34I think I got two choices. I can go get my butt blown off vietnam or I can stop a boy right here home

01:01:40Baby, you have plenty of them. Don't call me, baby

01:01:45I'm 18 years old

01:01:48You have plenty of options now. Kimball is fixing it up so you can go to the university of texas

01:01:53You have an excellent journalism department there. I haven't got the grades mama, you know it

01:01:59Besides what if I don't want to go?

01:02:02What if me and pete decide to eat and I please

01:02:07Whatever

01:02:10What if we decide to split I don't know maybe bum around europe

01:02:15Well, it's impossible you you you go to college or you get drafted

01:02:21mama

01:02:23I don't know who I am

01:02:25You are the heir to a great newspaper. That's who you are

01:02:30But I have been working 18 hours a day trying to keep that paper going for you

01:02:35Please give me some room

01:02:37I have never made a decision in my life

01:02:42I'm worried about your attitude. It is rather poor if it's my own mama, at least let me have my own damn attitude

01:02:49I want you to be happy mama. I'm not ambitious

01:02:53I

01:02:54I can't fulfill your dreams and I want you to realize your potential randall

01:03:07Mama you want another truth?

01:03:11I don't give a diddly squat

01:03:16And i'll go fight the war mama

01:03:18Mama

01:03:20Go write some patriotic editorials about the need to protect san francisco from viet cong invasion. It's enough

01:03:27Go mama, you go sell them papers. Come on mama. Kick some butt

01:03:31Yeah

01:03:45Oh, this is all we can dig up on clive deacon, he's a detective businessman for opening with law school nights

01:03:51He's got a good reputation in his neighborhood

01:03:53Only black mark we can find is that the irs has been investigating the last couple of years. No income tax stuff

01:03:59Try and develop the story and run it

01:04:02Uh respectfully ma'am. I'm i'm being uh audited for 1967 too. It's it's not a capital offense

01:04:08I don't want any man sitting on the bench

01:04:11Cheats on his taxes goes bankrupt

01:04:15Excuse me gentlemen

01:04:22Hi

01:04:23I'm, sorry. I know we're already late for dinner

01:04:26But this little girl outside from channel nine just wants to do a real quick interview before we leave

01:04:31I'm afraid my vietnam editorial kicked up quite a dust storm. Congratulations. I'm surprised the white house hasn't called. Yeah

01:04:39twice

01:04:42Well, then mrs

01:04:43Bordeaux, why did your newspaper make such an abrupt about face and come out against further u.s involvement in vietnam?

01:04:50My words speak for themselves. I did sign the editorial

01:04:54You do have a 18 year old son of draft age mrs. Bordeaux

01:04:58Did that affect your decision?

01:05:00I don't think so. Randy is a fine young man, and he would willingly serve his country if needed

01:05:06Thank you. This is susan moore talking to cali lord bordeaux. Yeah

01:05:11You handle that television girl pretty good

01:05:14I thought she's kind of pushy

01:05:16He's ambitious

01:05:18I'm

01:05:22When's randy leaving for austin next week, thank you again for all you did you signed the check

01:05:35A little chilly in here, don't you think?

01:05:37So

01:05:44You know somewhere between the salad and that drink I lost you i'm, sorry

01:05:55Anything wrong? No, i'm just a little worried about randy

01:06:01Every mother in america is worried about a randy

01:06:04It looks like we've got new rules for the game of parenting

01:06:12Well, I guess I want to be going I've got 8 a.m meeting with the answers in all of your reading

01:06:19Did you ever come across freud's definition of maturity?

01:06:23No, well, it's someone who works and loves productively

01:06:30Well, what's wrong with 50%

01:06:34Thank you for dinner

01:06:40What do I have to do

01:06:43You know, i've tried my tweedy intellectual number

01:06:46my southern gallant act my

01:06:50devoted companion impression

01:06:52Oh

01:07:00I'm afraid that didn't work either. Kimball, please don't wait for me

01:07:05Please

01:07:07Why don't you just be honest with yourself callie?

01:07:10You're as lonely as I am

01:07:13How many times do you wake up at night? I don't have time in my life for anyone else

01:07:17It's

01:07:19You can't go to bed with the newspaper callie or randy

01:07:23That's beneath you you're right it is so i'll just say it straight out

01:07:32I love you. I have always loved you

01:07:38I always will

01:07:41Please don't waste your love on a woman who can't accept it

01:07:47So

01:07:49Good night

01:07:51So

01:08:15Yeah, it's mr deacon again he says it's urgent

01:08:18I don't want to talk to him ever. Just make some excuse or or hang up. Just hang up

01:08:42Are you all right I came as soon as I could how did this happen?

01:12:22Callie's horse spotted a jackrabbit reared up and callie got tossed on her buck skins

01:13:17What's a valuable tool don't talk dirty, please stop it

01:13:32I'm gonna drop the syndicated love loan column down at the paper

01:13:35They've been getting silly and they're just asking for too much money. I'm not gonna go for it

01:13:39How would you like to take over the broken hearts department?

01:13:43me

01:13:44I can't even speak the king's english much less write it. Don't be silly genie doesn't matter

01:15:09Please god, let this keep the little prince off our backs afar

01:15:13Okay

01:15:14Funny the way the right thing happens at the wrong time

01:15:17That shopping center nonsense might have won the little prince both matured in severance from his mama

01:15:23He wrote an article that finally lived up to callie's expectations

01:15:26But this time he wasn't supposed to

01:15:29I wonder if she really wanted him to succeed

01:15:34Look like the waco tornado what happened?

01:15:36You know that place where daddy and I used to go camping out near the old elkins ranch

01:15:40All right, well some outfit called north tex tends to pave over the last beautiful place in this part of texas

01:15:45Now there is inadequate financing

01:15:47One of the partners has vegas connections and I think I can't prove it

01:15:50But I think that somebody down city hall got paid off to provide a permit

01:15:55Now I spent

01:15:56Three weeks digging all this out and another two weeks writing the first and only story

01:16:01I have ever believed in and I might just as well blow my nose with it. Somebody shot it down

01:16:06Honey sit down. I read your article. It's excellent

01:16:12Really mama you think so? I think it is first rate. Um, i'm very proud of you

01:16:20But a newspaper has certain responsibilities randy

01:16:24One of which it is to promote the city's growth

01:16:27To create new jobs broaden the tax base. Well, what's your point mama?

01:16:32Can't our paper help keep one lousy place for your pizza parlors

01:16:38I think we ought to explore this later. It's just a little too complex

01:41:20And it's time we face the fact that a discordant marriage is not attractive politically

01:41:28Philly zinger coming on mama. Why don't you just hit me with it?

01:41:32All right

01:41:35I will be entirely candid. I think you and randy would be much happier apart

01:41:41Divorced and I will make it more than worth your while

01:41:47Would you clear this with randy boy that was just between you and me

01:41:54Mama I don't know a whole lot about politics

01:41:56But ain't it worse for somebody to be divorced than somebody who's trying to work out marital problems?

01:42:00And besides, you know, you're forgetting one important item randy and I love each other very much

01:42:06Oh, I wish I could believe that. Oh, come on mama. You don't want to believe it

01:42:11And you think I'd stay married to that man and his mom if I didn't love him?

01:42:15That's enough. You hate me. You always have you hate me because i'm married up

01:42:20I got me a rich one just like you. Huh? Mama. You watch your mouth. You've done your best

01:42:25Good man

01:42:28I should have known better than to try and deal with a person on your level mama. You want to sleep with him?

01:42:35I got news for you. He ain't that good

01:42:54So

01:46:25Interesting case. Hey, you ain't gonna make anything out of some old gal blowing herself away

01:46:31You ever see such a cast of characters

01:46:35Papers are all over it

01:46:38Damn, new york times called me today

01:46:41Can't make bricks without straw

01:46:44Stamp it accidental death and let it go at that or suicide

01:46:50Women don't shoot themselves in the face dinner

01:46:53Don't you know that? Yeah, how come it's true you asking a carter?

01:46:58If a gal's going to check out she'll aim at her boob. She'd never mess up her face

01:47:03Assumption is she wants to look her best when she's laid out

01:47:10Okay

01:47:11I wouldn't want the voters

01:47:13To think we're whitewashing a murder

01:47:15Just because everybody involved eats high off the hog. Now the dead wife of an almost united states congressman

01:47:23deserves special handling

01:47:25Don't you think?

01:47:28So

01:47:32The grand jury probe into sullen's death sold papers in the way cali never intended

01:47:38One of the readers was an old dog with one bite left in his jaws

01:47:43Clyde deacon had been waiting for an opportunity like this. The dallas post dispatch will not tolerate it mama. Hi

01:47:53Do you hear the news

01:47:56The grand jury handed down a murder one indictment on sullen's death

01:48:02Murder it's ridiculous who yours truly mom little boy

01:48:17No, they couldn't they couldn't don't you worry about him i will take care of him

01:48:22Mama will take care of him

01:48:25Hmm

01:48:29Mr. Carter, why have you come to new york to take this case?

01:48:33Because the distinguished cali bordeaux asked me. Hey, is it true that your fee is 1 million dollars?

01:48:39There cannot be a price on an innocent man's life. What is your defense?

01:48:44the oldest one in the world innocence

01:48:48I represent an innocent man

01:48:50Who is charged with an accidental death? Well, sir, how long do you think this trial will lay?

01:48:56The judge grants our first motion about five minutes

01:49:07Ladies and gentlemen

01:49:14Ladies and gentlemen

01:49:16I recognize the box office appeal of this matter

01:49:20But I remind you that no sound of any kind will be tolerated

01:49:25I will not hesitate to eject anyone

01:49:29No matter what the pedigree

01:49:32Mr. Cotham your motion to dismiss will be overruled

01:49:40Mr. Ranch

01:49:46Your honor

01:49:49Ladies and gentlemen of the jury

01:49:53I

01:49:55The state of texas will prove three facts

01:50:00one

01:50:02That sue lynn hatcher bordeaux

01:50:04age

01:50:0624

01:50:08Was brutally murdered objection your honor

01:50:12Can mr. Wrench restrain the use of lurid adjectives?

01:50:16Particularly since it has not even been proved that a murder was committed

01:50:20sustained

01:50:21Please continue

01:50:25Number two

01:50:26that it

01:50:29Was committed by her husband state's representative

01:50:35randall bordeaux the third

01:50:37number three

01:50:39That the defendant had both motivation

01:50:43and ability

01:50:45to perpetrate

01:50:46This capital offense objection

01:50:48Objection

01:50:49Did the prosecutor misspeak himself with the use of the word capital offense?

01:50:54No, your honor

01:50:56The state believes this crime puts the categories

01:50:59under the texas revised criminal code for which the death penalty is appropriate and

01:51:06We will so prove

01:51:08So

01:51:16Office good you have described yourself as a forensic firearms examiner for the dallas police department

01:51:23I ask you if you

01:51:27Me

01:51:28or a young woman

01:51:30In experience with shotguns

01:51:32Was to drop this weapon. Could it

01:51:35Discharge shoot you in the face

01:51:37Not very likely

01:51:39I tested it 30 to 40 times

01:51:42Under the exact conditions. It did not malfunction

01:51:45It did not discharge

01:51:46Well could some person out there in the field that day say from about

01:51:51oh

01:51:5220 feet away

01:51:54If shot, mr. Bordeaux by mistake

01:51:58No, sir, not by the size of the hole in her forehead

01:52:01Did

01:52:03Did you did you not make the sworn statement?

01:52:07Mr. Randy told miss suling that this was only the beginning

01:52:12He'd have to keep paying that son of a bitch or else kill him

01:52:17End quote

01:52:21I recollect something like that

01:52:26That's all your honor

01:52:32The witness is unable to testify as to who was in the apartment making these melodramatic remarks

01:52:39It could have been houseguests. It could have been burglars. Oh, no, sir. It was representative bordeaux

01:52:46Well, i've heard him speak

01:52:48I voted for him

01:52:54I don't want a mistrial. I want an acquittal. I feel you must bear down on the blackmail angle

01:52:59That's the logical killer it would help if we could prove there really was a blackmailer you have a cancer check for five thousand

01:53:05Dollars. Oh, but you made that out to randy and marked it personal alone

01:53:08Well, what was I supposed to put down blackmail expense? We may not even need to blackmail

01:53:13I think this case can be won on character witnesses alone

01:53:15There are plenty of people from the white house on down that would testify on his behalf, of course

01:53:20And sulin's reputation once established. I'll give the jury a veritable festival of potential assassins. Is that necessary?

01:53:29Yes

01:53:41It's going well

01:53:43Is it?

01:53:46Genie's hands are so crooked. I had to get to the guard first. No, thank you

01:53:52Are you all right

01:53:56I'm confused

01:54:00I keep thinking i'm gonna wake up. It is a bad dream and it'll be over soon. I promise you that

01:54:05Randy, it's my feeling that the jury must be told the full extent of sulin's reputation

01:54:12She didn't on trial a woman with shadows in her life might attract any number of potential enemies

01:54:20I had to uh

01:54:22Clean up a mess one night in a motel with

01:54:25So then some cowboy I didn't want you to know because she told me about it

01:54:31She was mortified

01:54:33She only did it because I wouldn't pay any attention to her. The jury's got to know randy. No, they don't

01:54:39I won't have it

01:54:41She's dead now. You leave her alone

01:54:44She got us into this randall

01:54:47Did she mama

01:54:52I'm tired my head hurts

01:54:56So

01:54:59That's a given mama

01:55:02So

01:55:24Mrs. Chips, where are you employed the post dispatch?

01:55:30Then it would be correct to say that you are in the pain cali lord bordeaux

01:55:35I don't work for the money if that's what you mean

01:55:38Cali has been a close friend of mine for the past 30 years

01:55:42I see

01:55:44now

01:55:46On the day of that mysterious telephone call

01:55:51You saw randy come out of the house

01:55:54Yes, sir. He made sure you saw him. I wouldn't know about that

01:55:58I wouldn't know about that

01:55:59Randy made sure you saw him walk right by it, didn't he? I saw him but what he had on his mind. I don't know

01:56:07Well, if a man were establishing an alibi

01:56:10He'd make sure you saw him, wouldn't he?

01:56:13objection

01:56:14sustain

01:56:15After he made sure you saw him then what'd he do?

01:56:19He went back into the field he did

01:56:23Did he say anything

01:56:26I don't remember

01:56:30Mrs. Chips, I remind you

01:56:33That you are testifying under oath

01:56:36Subject to the penalties of perjury. I ask you one more time

01:56:40Did he say anything before he went into the field? He said there's another good hour of shooting lot left

01:56:51Well, if he was going to kill somebody he wouldn't have said that now would he

01:56:56Yeah

01:57:01Mrs. Bourdeaux

01:57:03we all

01:57:04Know what a ordeal this has been

01:57:07and

01:57:08I appreciate your wellness to testify

01:57:11Well, I want the truth to come out

01:57:13the truth

01:57:16The truth is sometimes slippery than a greased pig

01:57:21I've never had any trouble holding on to it

01:57:24Isn't it the truth mrs. Bourdeaux that you were opposed to your son's marriage to sue lynn

01:57:32They eloped I had nothing to say about isn't it the truth that you thought?

01:57:37Sue lynn was scandal a millstone around your son's political neck

01:57:42No, isn't it the truth that you hated your daughter-in-law?

01:57:46Certainly not. Isn't it the truth that randy bourdeaux?

01:57:50killed his wife

01:57:52In order to please his mom

01:57:55That is a lie

01:57:58That is a lie

01:58:00That's all

01:58:06The run of the defense calls randall bourdeaux the third

01:58:10When did you first learn of this blackmail being perpetrated against your wife?

01:58:14Well, that's what we were arguing about the night of july 8th when all those people overheard us

01:58:20And did you pay the five thousand dollars yes

01:58:23I borrowed it from my mother, but I didn't tell her the reason

01:58:26Why didn't you report this extortion to the police?

01:58:33I don't know I suppose

01:58:37Out of love for my wife not

01:58:40Wanting to drag her into headlines

01:58:42Now mr. Bourdeaux, may I remind you that you are under oath?

01:58:46subject to the penalties of perjury

01:58:50Did you kill sue lynn bourdeaux no

01:58:54Absolutely not

01:58:57I loved her

01:58:59As best I could thank you

01:59:07Mr. Bourdeaux just who is this alleged blackmailer? I told you I don't know his name who paid the five thousand dollars

01:59:13I assume my wife did she told me so

01:59:16and then on the morning of the date she was

01:59:19On the morning of the day she was shot. She told me the blackmailer wanted another 25 000

01:59:24another

01:59:2625 000

01:59:28Did you pay it? No

01:59:32There wasn't any need but because

01:59:40Because my wife was killed

01:59:43Your honor

01:59:45May we mark this as state exhibit number 27. Is this the material you told me about? Yes, your honor. Mr. Kaufman

01:59:52You are aware of this target

01:59:55Mr. Bourdeaux

01:59:58I'll show you an insurance policy

02:00:01Taken out on your wife. Mrs

02:00:02Sue lynn hatcher bourdeaux by the wayfair insurance company with a face value of one hundred thousand dollars

02:00:11I'm aware of that

02:00:13You took it out on your wife, yeah, well it was her idea we were traveling the plane so much, you know campaigning

02:00:22And you are aware

02:00:24that it has

02:00:25a double

02:00:26indemnity clause

02:00:28Paying two hundred thousand dollars to the beneficiary in the event of the insurance accidental death

02:00:34No, I was not aware of that

02:00:37Who's the beneficiary? I am

02:00:40Well

02:00:42then had

02:00:43Your wife's death been ruled accidental

02:00:47You would have pocketed a quick and easy 200 grand not a small sum

02:00:53For a politician in need of campaign funds. No, I don't need any two hundred thousand dollars. My family has

02:01:02Go ahead finish it your family has

02:01:06Your family has

02:01:08Money

02:01:10My family has money yes

02:01:14They do

02:01:16But two hundred thousand dollars wouldn't hurt if a man a politically

02:01:23Ambitious rich man needed a slush fund to pay off an alleged blackmailer would

02:01:30The jury would disregard the last question, you know better than that. Mr. Wrench

02:01:36I'm sorry, honey. It's just

02:01:38slipped out

02:01:41Oh, that's all

02:01:44Oh

02:02:07Come here, come here, please. Thank you for receiving me so late. No, no, it's all right. Listen

02:02:11I'm, sorry, the place is such a mess. I just don't have time. Would you sit down right over here? I just

02:02:16Trying to get a present for my daughter's birthday. Sit down, please

02:02:20This is not an impulsive act. I wouldn't come and running over here in the middle of the night on the mission of madness

02:02:27I see

02:02:31I want you to know who really killed my daughter-in-law

02:02:35And who might that be I did randy had nothing to do with it

02:02:40Well

02:02:43It doesn't surprise me

02:02:45that

02:02:46You would try anything to save your son

02:02:49Don't be condescending wrench. This is difficult enough to confess

02:02:54I wouldn't think of it go on

02:03:01That day, um

02:03:03I heard randy and sue lynn from my room. They were quarreling about the blackmailer's latest demands of 25 000

02:03:10And naturally I saw

02:03:12the the potential for a scandal

02:03:14and uh

02:03:16well during the hunt the dove hunt I ran into sue lynn in the woods and uh, we

02:03:21had angry words and

02:03:25Uh, I really thought she was going to shoot me

02:03:28I mean she was drunk the autopsy already showed that

02:03:31And uh, it just all happened so quickly, I mean I I grabbed the rifle

02:03:36From her and I had my hands on the barrel and it just went off

02:03:39and then uh

02:03:41It's her head and the blood and everything and so I just I ran away

02:03:45and I tried to convince myself that it was a

02:03:48accident

02:03:51Accident

02:03:53Her death was about as accidental as pearl harbor now you best go home where you belong

02:03:58I

02:04:00Wait a minute. Did you hear what I said?

02:04:03Do you think I could make all that up?

02:04:05Well

02:04:08You make a mighty fine living out of stories, why don't you print it in the paper?

02:04:13What if i'm telling you the truth?

02:04:15What if you have the wrong person on trial? And what if you don't jackasses fly?

02:04:21Now if I thought I was prosecuting the wrong person i'd resign tomorrow and cut weeds

02:04:28What can I do to make you believe me? Mr. Bordeaux, nobody's gonna believe you

02:04:33If what you say is true, then why weren't your fingerprints on the rifle?

02:04:36I was wearing gloves that day. And why were randy's everywhere?

02:04:40Because it's his rifle. Exactly. It's his rifle. It's his wife and we know his motivation

02:04:47And you have none. What? You are another mother trying to save her son. I can appreciate that

02:04:52But it's late now and I have been very patient. I have a great many. Damn it wrench. Listen to me

02:04:56I am not without power and someday you may need me

02:05:03Well

02:05:05I'll overlook that

02:05:06Listen, you're talking bribe and then we might have another case to try now. Let's say good night and not lives have already been wasted

02:05:16Mr. Deacon when the defendant randy bordeaux telephoned you what did he say?

02:05:23Well

02:05:25Best I can recollect he wanted to hire me to find somebody supposedly blackmailing his wife

02:05:33Did he say who that was?

02:05:35No, sir

02:05:36in fact

02:05:38He didn't make much sense

02:05:40he was

02:05:41yelling and cussing

02:05:43He's so riled up. I could barely make out what he really wanted

02:05:47He kept talking about his problem how he had to get rid of him

02:05:52What was his problem his wife

02:05:56I think he wanted someone to kill her

02:06:06Vengeance is mine say the lord

02:06:12Now randall bordeaux

02:06:14randall bordeaux decided to play god

02:06:18He tried to win

02:06:21In his own private court

02:06:24Where he was both accuser

02:06:27and prosecutor

02:06:29judge

02:06:30and jury

02:06:31And he found her guilty

02:06:33And he sentenced her to death

02:06:35And with a shotgun from a distance of less than five feet

02:06:42He carried that sentence out

02:06:45Now

02:06:47I don't want vengeance

02:06:50I don't even want an eye for an eye or a tooth for a tooth

02:06:55What I want you to do

02:06:57What I want you to do is something very easy something very simple

02:07:01All I want you to do

02:07:04Is dispense justice?

02:07:07Justice

02:07:10Magnificent majestic wonderful american justice

02:07:19Somebody somebody wrote about it once about a year or two ago. I'm

02:07:24I'm gonna read you what somebody wrote about that and then i'm gonna go sit down

02:07:27You got it right over here

02:07:36We're shocked

02:07:38by the blood

02:07:40That spills in our cities

02:07:42We are stunned

02:07:44By too many verdicts that send violent men back into the streets. They stay

02:07:49Not only here not only in the state of texas, but in the capital of our country

02:07:54Punishments have been lenient

02:07:56lax

02:07:57Off to nothing at all

02:07:59power

02:08:01and influence

02:08:03Must not be a reason to deny

02:08:07justice

02:08:09Unless all men

02:08:11Are equal

02:08:12In the eyes law in the courts in the juries

02:08:19Then our house folds

02:08:22And darkness will come

02:08:25The author

02:08:29Inspiring words and someone who says it far better than I

02:08:34Do

02:08:41Thank you, man, thank you for making my case cali lord bordeaux

02:08:48So

02:09:00The jury is still out in the randy bordeaux murder trial nine men and three women have been deliberating 64 hours

02:09:08And the feeling is they may be hopelessly deadlocked turn it off susan moore channel nine

02:09:14That's a good sign cali, but they'll be in that 64 hours

02:09:18Well, that means the jury's fixing to vote in the quiddle. No need to grease the skid jenny

02:09:25You know something sledge ought to prosecute clod digger for perjury
