The Parallax View

Senator Carroll is here|to celebrate Independence Day.

He is so independent...

...some say they don't know|which party he belongs to.

Austin Tucker is with us today...

...as a political adviser|to Senator Carroll.

Austin, we hear that you wanna get|the nomination for Senator Carroll.

We're jumping the gun there,|Miss Carter.

He's not running for any other office.

Here come Senator Carroll|and Mrs Carroll. He looks terrific.

Happy Fourth of July!

Happy Independence for us all!

He is the ideal father.|The ideal husband if you're old enough.

And I guess the ideal leader|for our country if you're any age.

- Lee, how are you?|- Fine, thank you.

Welcome. You look just as wonderful...

...as in all the photographs,|always smiling.

I'm happy to be with my constituents on|this wonderful day, Independence Day.

- Thank you very much, everybody!|- Thank you.

Thank you!

You need a ribbon.

- I'm with her.|- Ma'am, is he with you?

No.

All right, we'll try to make it.|Schedule it some other time...

How are you?

How are you, sir? Good to see you.|You're looking very good.

Hello, how are you?

But I fouled up on that one.

I know a bit about your background,|your lovely family. Scotch and water.

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you|very much for inviting us today.

Independence Day|is very meaningful to me.

I've been called|too independent for my own good.

Move back, everybody.

You are here|for the official announcement...

...of the inquiry into the death|of Senator Charles Carroll.

This is not a press conference,|therefore there will be no questions.

A transcript of the|investigation is being...

...prepared for publication on March 1 st.

At that time, the committee will hold|a full-scale press conference.

After four months of investigation,|followed by nine weeks of hearings...

...it is the conclusion of this committee...

...that Senator Carroll was assassinated|by Thomas Richard Linder.

It is our further conclusion|that he acted entirely alone...

...motivated by a misguided|sense of patriotism...

...and a psychotic desire|for public recognition.

The committee wishes to emphasise...

...that there is no evidence|of any wider conspiracy.

No evidence whatsoever.

It's our hope that this will put an end|to the kind of irresponsible speculation...

...conducted by the press|in recent months.

The complete text of the hearings...

which provides the basis|for these findings...

will be published March 1 st.

When you have|examined the evidence...

...you will have every opportunity...

...to ask those questions which|remain unanswered, if there are any.

That is all. Thank you.

You could win this! Take a look.

We are just starting with you.

The package you pick might contain...

Excuse me, but my parrot is loose|on your back porch.

- What?|- My parrot. I wonder if I could...

- What are you talking about?|- My parrot. It's very sick.

Let him go look.

- I haven't seen any parrot.|- He's hiding.

Freeze! Police officers.|Where's the stuff?

- Wendy hits the $25,000...|- Check that, will you?

You've won an all-expense-paid trip|to British Columbia!

All right, Frady, you're under arrest.

- You didn't see us, did you?|- I did, but I've never seen those two.

- What are you talking about?|- You looking for dope?

Maybe one of your men|could tell me what I'm here for.

- Destruction of property...|- Me, destruction of property?

- I can't believe I...|- Terrifying people, trespassing...

Hold it, goddammit!|I wanna get something straight.

Is there anybody here who can say|I broke into that house...

I was waving my gun around,|I threw his wife on the floor?
