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.
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

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
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
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.
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
We're not going to have a
problem with your loyalty are we?
And yet ...
a certain word
a glance, a guise,
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.
