I'll dry the tears
from your eyes

[Woman singing]
Snowman's coming

00:00:37,815 --> 00:00:40,706
yes, he's coming
7
00:00:40,842 --> 00:00:45,513
he'll take you by the hand
8
00:00:45,649 --> 00:00:48,250
he'll say one, two, three

In cotton candy land

[man] For those of you
who are wondering,
13
00:01:00,168 --> 00:01:03,272
who this fella here is,
14
00:01:03,407 --> 00:01:08,903
I am the legendary
colonel Tom Parker.
15
00:01:21,550 --> 00:01:23,624
[Newscaster] Colonel Tom
Parker, legendary manager
16
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,629
of Elvis Presley, has been
rushed to valley hospital.
17
00:01:27,764 --> 00:01:32,227
[Parker] I am the man who
gave the world Elvis Presley.
18
00:01:32,362 --> 00:01:34,469
[Siren wailing]
19
00:01:34,604 --> 00:01:40,171
Without me, there would be
no Elvis Presley.
20
00:01:40,307 --> 00:01:42,101
And yet, there are some
21
00:01:42,237 --> 00:01:45,572
who'd make me out
to be the villain
22
00:01:45,708 --> 00:01:47,348
of this here story.
23
00:01:55,249 --> 00:01:58,458
["Suspicious minds" by
Presley playing faintly]
24
00:02:02,461 --> 00:02:07,029
[Newscaster 1] Colonel Tom
Parker was a liar, a cheat, a con man.
25
00:02:07,165 --> 00:02:10,503
A shocking new book
accuses colonel Tom Parker
26
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,132
of massive fraud
and mis-management.
27
00:02:15,842 --> 00:02:19,674
Parker received as much
as 50% of Elvis' income.
28
00:02:19,809 --> 00:02:21,548
He worked Elvis like a mule,
29
00:02:21,683 --> 00:02:23,442
to support his own
gambling addiction.
30
00:02:23,578 --> 00:02:25,331
[Newscaster 2] The court finds
that the compensation received
31
00:02:25,355 --> 00:02:27,289
by colonel Parker was excessive,
32
00:02:27,425 --> 00:02:29,118
and shocked the conscience
of the court.
33
00:02:29,253 --> 00:02:31,000
[Newscaster 1] Many believe
that colonel Tom Parker
34
00:02:31,024 --> 00:02:33,856
was responsible for the death
of Elvis Presley.
35
00:02:35,627 --> 00:02:37,156
[Parker] Now, you listen to me.
36
00:02:37,292 --> 00:02:40,331
The only thing that matters
is that that man
37
00:02:40,467 --> 00:02:42,832
gets up on that stage tonight.

his truth is marching on
46
00:04:05,348 --> 00:04:08,252
[Newscaster, voice echoing]
Tom Parker killed him!
47
00:04:08,388 --> 00:04:11,452
No! That's not true.
48
00:04:11,587 --> 00:04:13,593
[Breath shaking]

[Grunting]
50
00:04:24,273 --> 00:04:28,608
No, no, I didn't kill him.
51
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,514
I made Elvis Presley.
52
00:04:36,151 --> 00:04:39,648
Nothing all those muckrakers
said in their books was true.
53
00:04:39,784 --> 00:04:42,249
Me and Elvis, we was partners.
54
00:04:42,384 --> 00:04:48,288
It was Elvis the showman
and the colonel the snowman.
55
00:04:48,424 --> 00:04:50,192
[Female reporter]
This is the lying dutchman.
56
00:04:50,328 --> 00:04:53,458
[Parker] I always knew I was
destined for greatness.
57
00:04:53,594 --> 00:04:56,329
As an orphan,
I ran away to the carnival,
58
00:04:56,464 --> 00:04:59,368
where I learned the art
of the "snow job,"
59
00:04:59,503 --> 00:05:02,576
of emptying a rube's wallet
while leaving them with nothing
60
00:05:02,712 --> 00:05:05,205
- but a smile on their face.
- [Applause]
61
00:05:05,341 --> 00:05:07,048
But a carnival act
that would get you
62
00:05:07,184 --> 00:05:09,749
the most money, the most snow,
63
00:05:09,884 --> 00:05:13,319
had great costumes
and a unique trick,
64
00:05:13,454 --> 00:05:15,248
that gave the audience feelings
65
00:05:15,384 --> 00:05:18,652
they weren't sure
they should enjoy.
66
00:05:18,787 --> 00:05:20,727
But they do.
67
00:05:20,862 --> 00:05:25,924
And I knew if I could
find such an act,
68
00:05:26,060 --> 00:05:29,903
I could create the greatest...
69
00:05:30,039 --> 00:05:31,367
Show...
70
00:05:31,502 --> 00:05:32,507
On...
71
00:05:33,404 --> 00:05:36,042
Earth.
72
00:05:36,177 --> 00:05:39,511
After the carnival, I moved
into the music business...
73
00:05:39,646 --> 00:05:42,246
The country music business.
74
00:05:42,381 --> 00:05:46,718
I partnered with one of its
biggest stars, Hank snow.
75
00:05:46,853 --> 00:05:52,390
Pardon me if I'm sentimental
76
00:05:52,526 --> 00:05:54,828

- I got one.
- Oh, yeah.

that we need a police escort

for Hank when he arrives.
84
00:06:12,342 --> 00:06:15,349
In Baton Rouge, we are going
to have a carny wedding

00:06:17,081 --> 00:06:19,214
so, zina, pick out
your next husband.
87
00:06:19,349 --> 00:06:21,753
In New Orleans, we're gonna
use the loudspeaker
88
00:06:21,889 --> 00:06:23,783
- to announce you, Hank.
- [Hank] Oh, sure.

Am I gonna be riding
on an elephant, too?
93
00:06:31,227 --> 00:06:33,264
A man on an elephant
looks important.
94
00:06:33,399 --> 00:06:34,600
And taller.
95
00:06:34,736 --> 00:06:36,065
We still need to get
a novelty act
96
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,138
- to bring in the young folk.
- Well, yes, yes,
97

that's why you have a meeting
with the Duke of paducah tonight.

mouth in the south,"

of the season.

That's Sam Phillips' label.
107
00:07:03,058 --> 00:07:04,656
[Parker] Oh, yeah, Phillips.
108
00:07:04,792 --> 00:07:07,535
He makes all those race records
with the colored singers.
109
00:07:07,671 --> 00:07:09,435
Well, this fella's
on the hayride tonight,

112
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,309
No, they are not putting
a colored boy on the hayride.
113
00:07:15,445 --> 00:07:18,514
That's the thing. He's white.
114
00:07:19,147 --> 00:07:20,582
He's...

- [Girl] Hi!
- How's his stomach?

I thought I'd grab him a Pepsi,
148

but poor thing's still shaking
like a leaf.
149

- Here.

It'll settle your stomach.

[Elvis] What if I forget
the words on live radio?
153
00:09:10,324 --> 00:09:12,605
All we gotta do out there's
just a bit of clownin' around.

important thing of all.

Tragic.

It's another child!

have the strength of two men.

- [Young Elvis speaking]
180
00:10:15,655 --> 00:10:18,254

[Parker] At sun records,
Sam Phillips was on a mission

to save the world
by recording black music.
233
00:13:12,097 --> 00:13:14,161
But it didn't sell.
234
00:13:14,297 --> 00:13:15,829
So to pay his bills,
235
00:13:15,965 --> 00:13:19,501
he needed to find a new singer
for his country act.
236
00:13:19,636 --> 00:13:22,401
I don't know what it is
you see in this boy.
237
00:13:22,536 --> 00:13:24,979

He's a young singer
from Memphis, Tennessee.
246
00:13:57,007 --> 00:14:01,445
Got a song out on the sun
label. It's all over the radio.
247
00:14:01,580 --> 00:14:05,987

253
00:14:27,402 --> 00:14:28,910
Just fine, how you, sir?
254
00:14:29,046 --> 00:14:33,608
[Parker] Greasy hair,
girly makeup.
255
00:14:33,744 --> 00:14:36,910
I cannot overstate
how strange he looked.
256
00:14:37,046 --> 00:14:39,165
[Emcee] Are you all geared up
with your band there to...
257
00:14:39,189 --> 00:14:41,322

Uh... well, I'd like to say how
happy we are to be down here.

00:14:46,163 --> 00:14:48,229
Get a chance to appear
on the Louisiana hayride.
261
00:14:48,365 --> 00:14:50,793
We're gonna do a song for you
we got out on sun records.

Uh...
263
00:14:53,498 --> 00:14:54,818
You got anything else
to say, sir?
264
00:14:54,868 --> 00:14:57,005
No. I'm ready.

[Parker] In that moment,
in a flash of lightning,

that she was having feelings

[Parker] Just why a truck
driver from Memphis, Tennessee,

liked to hang out
on beale street, I do not know.
360

but I could see through that...

No, I didn't take my boy away
from nothin'.

He was runnin'
from the day he was born.
378
00:21:08,544 --> 00:21:12,978
I just opened the door
to our destiny.
379
00:21:13,114 --> 00:21:15,976
[Gladys] So without so much as
a word to your daddy and me,

to go traveling

with this colonel fellow

Yeah, four days.
And then what?

to take care of you and daddy.

That's all I have
ever cared about.

get back to a place again

You know, mama, I was thinkin',
400

maybe I'll buy you one of them
pink Cadillacs
401
00:22:16,010 --> 00:22:18,170

was working at the hospital.

in that girl's eyes.

All right, fellas. Come on.
524
00:28:10,325 --> 00:28:12,690
- Oh.
- [Parker] Lost, my boy?
525
00:28:14,536 --> 00:28:16,232
Colonel Parker, sir.
526
00:28:18,905 --> 00:28:21,707
- You look lost.
- [Chuckling]
527
00:28:21,842 --> 00:28:24,108
- I guess I am.
- Ah, yes.
528
00:28:24,244 --> 00:28:27,914
The roar of the crowd.
The life on the road.
529
00:28:28,049 --> 00:28:30,177
And then calling home
to your loved ones,
530
00:28:30,312 --> 00:28:32,319
pretending nothing has changed,
531
00:28:32,455 --> 00:28:34,888
when everything has.
532
00:28:35,786 --> 00:28:38,122
Yeah. Lost.
533
00:28:39,921 --> 00:28:42,455
I'm sorry, sir. I... I meant
I don't know the way out.
534
00:28:42,591 --> 00:28:47,130
Yeah, that is precisely
what I am saying.
535
00:28:47,266 --> 00:28:52,096
I... I saw you.
Apart from all the others.
536
00:28:52,231 --> 00:28:54,468
Burdened.
537
00:28:54,603 --> 00:28:57,273
Like you don't know
how to get out of this.
538
00:28:58,347 --> 00:28:59,737
But I do.
539
00:29:01,410 --> 00:29:03,043
[Zina singing]
Snowman's coming
540
00:29:03,178 --> 00:29:04,417
allow me to show you.
541
00:29:04,553 --> 00:29:07,421
Yes, he's coming
542
00:29:07,557 --> 00:29:11,989
take his magic hand
543
00:29:12,124 --> 00:29:13,960
[Parker]
Creatures of the carnival.
544
00:29:14,095 --> 00:29:16,259
- And I am one myself.
- [Crowd exclaiming]
545
00:29:16,394 --> 00:29:19,524
It's where I learned the art
of the snow job.
546
00:29:19,660 --> 00:29:21,034
- [Elvis] Snow job?
- [Parker] Yes.
547
00:29:21,169 --> 00:29:22,914
It's like the trick
you do with the wiggling,
548
00:29:22,938 --> 00:29:24,496
getting all the girls hyped up,
549
00:29:24,631 --> 00:29:26,203
empty their wallets
and leave them
550
00:29:26,338 --> 00:29:28,771
with nothing but the smiles
on their faces.
551
00:29:28,906 --> 00:29:29,970
I'm no trickster.
552
00:29:30,105 --> 00:29:31,906
Oh, yes, you are.
553
00:29:32,042 --> 00:29:34,238
All showmen are snowmen.
554
00:29:34,374 --> 00:29:36,108
It's a wonderful place.
555
00:29:36,244 --> 00:29:37,643
Nobody on the aerio.
556
00:29:38,619 --> 00:29:39,821
[Speaking ciazarn]
557
00:29:41,519 --> 00:29:45,454
Your future, Mr. Presley,
blazing before you.
558
00:29:45,589 --> 00:29:48,830
Recording contracts,
television, even Hollywood.
559
00:29:52,326 --> 00:29:54,001
You're great, colonel.
560
00:29:54,136 --> 00:29:57,234
You are the best person
I could ever hope to work with.
561
00:29:57,369 --> 00:29:58,969
You know, this is something
I ain't never
562
00:29:59,003 --> 00:30:00,840
said to nobody before...
563
00:30:00,976 --> 00:30:02,804
But I believe
I can be great, too.
564
00:30:02,940 --> 00:30:04,536
Oh, no doubt.
565
00:30:04,672 --> 00:30:07,643
But we could be
even greater together.
566
00:30:07,778 --> 00:30:12,853
But to achieve this, I need
to represent you exclusively.
567
00:30:12,989 --> 00:30:15,285
Exclusively?
Sir, I... I don't follow.
568
00:30:16,823 --> 00:30:18,050
What about Hank snow?
569
00:30:18,185 --> 00:30:19,989
Hank. Yes...
570
00:30:20,124 --> 00:30:22,061
He sent me here to fire you.
571
00:30:23,894 --> 00:30:25,698
[Metal creaking]
572
00:30:25,833 --> 00:30:27,491
Hank wants you off the tour.
573
00:30:27,627 --> 00:30:31,070
So I will have to leave Hank.
574
00:30:32,370 --> 00:30:34,339
We will both have to
make sacrifices.
575
00:30:34,475 --> 00:30:37,703
We will need a record label
with national distribution.
576
00:30:39,546 --> 00:30:41,080
Rca?
577
00:30:42,912 --> 00:30:44,750
Rca.
578
00:30:44,886 --> 00:30:47,482
Sam Phillips... discovered me.
579
00:30:47,618 --> 00:30:50,882
I know, but we have a way
to help Sam understand
580
00:30:51,017 --> 00:30:54,054
that it would be foolish of him
to hold you back.
581
00:30:54,190 --> 00:30:56,259
Every man has his price.
582
00:30:56,395 --> 00:30:58,295
[Sam] Rca does have
the distribution.
583
00:30:58,430 --> 00:30:59,535
[Elvis] I just need to know
that you'll
584
00:30:59,559 --> 00:31:00,825
still be with me as friends.
585
00:31:00,961 --> 00:31:02,996
Don't doubt that,
we're not going anywhere.
586
00:31:03,131 --> 00:31:06,664
Marion and I just don't want to
stand in your way, that's all.
587
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:10,069
The world needs
to hear you sing, Elvis.
588
00:31:10,204 --> 00:31:12,475
[Newscaster] Elvis Presley's
contract sold to rca today
589
00:31:12,610 --> 00:31:14,575
for the highest price
in music history.
590
00:31:14,710 --> 00:31:17,180
Quite the payday
for sun records.
591
00:31:17,315 --> 00:31:20,247
It's just business.
Show business.
592
00:31:20,383 --> 00:31:21,679
To achieve truly great things,
593
00:31:21,815 --> 00:31:24,090
one must make
truly great sacrifices.
594
00:31:24,225 --> 00:31:27,786
You will have to be free
of any entanglements.
595
00:31:27,922 --> 00:31:31,596
You see, my boy,
show business is snow business.
596
00:31:31,731 --> 00:31:35,598
And the fans need to believe
that you are always available.
597
00:31:35,733 --> 00:31:37,407
[Elvis] The colonel says
that with all the publicity
598
00:31:37,431 --> 00:31:38,806
that's gonna be coming,
599
00:31:38,942 --> 00:31:40,966
he might have to
put it out there that...
600
00:31:41,102 --> 00:31:42,432
That...
601
00:31:42,568 --> 00:31:44,609
I don't have a girl.
602
00:31:44,744 --> 00:31:47,973
[Sobbing]
603
00:31:48,109 --> 00:31:51,547
[Parker] Then we will need
your parents' legal commitment.
604
00:31:51,682 --> 00:31:55,155
They may need a bit
of convincing themselves.
605
00:31:55,291 --> 00:31:57,211
[Gladys] Sam Phillips
is a good man we can trust.
606
00:31:57,292 --> 00:32:00,489
We don't know this colonel
from a nail in a wall.
607
00:32:00,625 --> 00:32:02,505
[Man] Is there a lawyer
representing the family?
608
00:32:02,589 --> 00:32:03,728
[Parker] Oh, unnecessary.
609
00:32:03,864 --> 00:32:05,462
I am of the firm opinion
610
00:32:05,598 --> 00:32:08,902
that family is the most
important thing in the world.
611
00:32:09,038 --> 00:32:11,628
In mind of that,
I have taken the Liberty
612
00:32:11,764 --> 00:32:13,469
of making these contracts out
613
00:32:13,604 --> 00:32:16,675
in the name
of Elvis Presley enterprises.
614
00:32:16,810 --> 00:32:18,043
A family business.
615
00:32:18,179 --> 00:32:20,844
And I was thinking,
Vernon Presley:
616
00:32:20,979 --> 00:32:22,445
Business manager.
617
00:32:25,813 --> 00:32:27,720
[Elvis] What do you think,
daddy?
618
00:32:27,856 --> 00:32:30,123
[Vernon] Uh... well, uh...
619
00:32:30,258 --> 00:32:31,986
- I like it very much, son.
- [Parker] Ah!
620
00:32:32,121 --> 00:32:33,852
[Laughing]
621
00:32:33,987 --> 00:32:37,293
Mrs. Presley,
your son has a unique gift.
622
00:32:37,428 --> 00:32:38,863
It's as though
he has the strength
623
00:32:38,999 --> 00:32:41,325
of two men inside of him.
624
00:32:41,460 --> 00:32:43,061
[Pen clicks]
625
00:32:43,197 --> 00:32:44,811
[Elvis] You know, colonel,
I would do anything
626
00:32:44,835 --> 00:32:46,511
to make sure my mama and daddy
never have to live
627
00:32:46,535 --> 00:32:48,371
in no poverty ever again.
628
00:32:48,507 --> 00:32:51,971
Mama, it's gonna turn out
so, so good.
629
00:32:52,107 --> 00:32:53,311
Mm.
630
00:32:54,979 --> 00:32:56,514
[Camera clicks]
631
00:32:56,650 --> 00:32:58,130
Colonel, I wasn't fooling
when I told those other kids
632
00:32:58,154 --> 00:32:59,674
I was gonna buy 'em
a Cadillac one day.
633
00:32:59,717 --> 00:33:02,146
My boy, with me, you will
buy them two Cadillacs.
634
00:33:02,282 --> 00:33:03,552
Two?
635
00:33:04,956 --> 00:33:05,991
A hundred?
636
00:33:06,126 --> 00:33:07,223
- Two hundred.
- [Chuckles]
637
00:33:07,358 --> 00:33:09,188
- A thousand.
- A million.
638
00:33:09,324 --> 00:33:10,559
An aeroplane.
639
00:33:10,694 --> 00:33:12,630
- How about a rocket ship?
- [Both laugh]
640
00:33:12,766 --> 00:33:17,038
Well, maybe not a rocket ship.
My mama don't like me to fly.
641
00:33:17,173 --> 00:33:21,241
But me, I've always
wanted to fly. Fast.
642
00:33:21,377 --> 00:33:25,009
Faster than the speed of light
to the rock of eternity.
643
00:33:25,145 --> 00:33:27,240
What? To the rock of eternity?
644
00:33:27,376 --> 00:33:28,874
Captain marvel, Jr.
645
00:33:30,051 --> 00:33:31,712
He's my favorite
comic book hero.
646
00:33:32,852 --> 00:33:34,581
He flies.
647
00:33:34,717 --> 00:33:36,552
Well, what about you,
Mr. Presley?
648
00:33:37,518 --> 00:33:39,522
Are you ready to fly?
649
00:33:40,455 --> 00:33:42,822
Yes, sir. I'm ready.
650
00:33:43,699 --> 00:33:45,022
Ready to fly.
651
00:33:53,232 --> 00:33:54,912
[Producer 1 over intercom]
Uh, Mr. Presley,
652
00:33:54,971 --> 00:33:56,900
try not to move around
so much during the takes.
653
00:33:57,036 --> 00:33:59,278
[Elvis] If I can't move,
I can't sing.
654
00:33:59,413 --> 00:34:02,209
[Singing]
Well, since my baby left me
655
00:34:02,345 --> 00:34:03,876
[band plays two chords]
656
00:34:04,011 --> 00:34:07,211
Well, I found a new place
to dwell
657
00:34:07,347 --> 00:34:09,059
[producer 2] What is he doing?
We paid for this?
658
00:34:09,083 --> 00:34:10,849
It's down at the end of
lonely street at...
659
00:34:10,984 --> 00:34:12,693
[Producer 2]
It's a suicide song.
660
00:34:12,829 --> 00:34:15,388
Heartbreak hotel
661
00:34:15,523 --> 00:34:18,260
[Parker] Them know-it-alls
said I'd backed the wrong horse.
662
00:34:18,396 --> 00:34:20,597
But my boy knew teenagers.
663
00:34:20,733 --> 00:34:24,934
And that first record
changed everything.
664
00:34:25,069 --> 00:34:29,672
Well, it's so very hard to have
to leave the one you love
665
00:34:29,808 --> 00:34:33,037
and you get more lonely
with each passing day
666
00:34:34,781 --> 00:34:39,250
it's so lonely just sitting
and dreaming of...
667
00:34:39,386 --> 00:34:40,826
[Newscaster 1]
In a few short months,
668
00:34:40,917 --> 00:34:42,618
Elvis Presley has popped
out of nowhere.
669
00:34:42,754 --> 00:34:44,885
Everywhere he goes,
he causes riots,
670
00:34:45,020 --> 00:34:47,625
mountains of press
and rivers of money.
671
00:34:47,761 --> 00:34:50,121
[Newscaster 2] It's another
gold record for Elvis Presley.
672
00:34:50,256 --> 00:34:52,958
This one giving him his first
worldwide hit.
673
00:34:54,462 --> 00:34:56,368
[Crowd screaming]
674
00:34:57,401 --> 00:35:00,473
[Maid] Mrs. Presley, look!
675
00:35:00,609 --> 00:35:03,803
Come on, Mrs. Presley, let
me show you how to use this.
676
00:35:03,939 --> 00:35:06,112
Come on, hens! Come on, hens!
Come on!
677
00:35:06,248 --> 00:35:09,808
Come on! Outside!
Out of my house!
678
00:35:09,943 --> 00:35:12,450
Come on, this way!
Come on, babies!
679
00:35:13,314 --> 00:35:14,619
Dodger!
680
00:35:14,755 --> 00:35:15,849
[Grunts]
681
00:35:16,791 --> 00:35:18,982
[Elvis grunting]
682
00:35:19,118 --> 00:35:21,018
- [Elvis] Go, Billy boy!
- Ya-hoo-hoo!
683
00:35:21,153 --> 00:35:22,962
[Parker] I took
my boy's wiggling
684
00:35:23,098 --> 00:35:25,657
and put it in the movies.
685
00:35:25,793 --> 00:35:27,659
I took his name and face,
686
00:35:27,794 --> 00:35:29,500
and put it on all sorts of toys
687
00:35:29,635 --> 00:35:31,671
and knick-knacks,
and called it...
688
00:35:31,807 --> 00:35:33,096
"Merchandise."
689
00:35:33,232 --> 00:35:35,605
Your face on every
conceivable object,
690
00:35:35,740 --> 00:35:39,142
including Teddy bear, perfume,
plaster busts...
691
00:35:39,278 --> 00:35:40,473
Of questionable likeness.
692
00:35:40,609 --> 00:35:42,139
"The Elvis Presley game."
693
00:35:42,274 --> 00:35:45,384
Something so everyone
can show their love.
694
00:35:45,519 --> 00:35:49,883
Grandma dodger,
what is that behind your ear?
695
00:35:51,025 --> 00:35:53,051
[Gladys] "I hate Elvis."
696
00:35:55,059 --> 00:35:56,389
Huh?
697
00:35:56,524 --> 00:35:58,054
Yes. I hate Elvis.
698
00:35:58,190 --> 00:35:59,733
In my way of thinking,
"I love Elvis,"
699
00:35:59,869 --> 00:36:01,068
that's an easy sell.
700
00:36:01,203 --> 00:36:02,894
Those who hate your son
will do so
701
00:36:03,029 --> 00:36:05,635
whether we profit
from it or not.
702
00:36:05,771 --> 00:36:10,409
After all, what is hate worth
if it's free?
703
00:36:11,771 --> 00:36:13,379
Oh, yeah. I get it.
704
00:36:17,150 --> 00:36:18,652
Snowman strikes again.
705
00:36:18,788 --> 00:36:20,952
[All laughing]
706
00:36:21,087 --> 00:36:23,719
[Parker] Merchandise, promotion.
Diskin, what else do we have?
707
00:36:23,854 --> 00:36:25,470
- [Diskin] Necklaces.
- [Parker] Necklaces.
708
00:36:25,494 --> 00:36:28,427
- [Diskin] Scarves.
- [Parker] Oh, scarves. Yes...
709
00:36:28,562 --> 00:36:31,095
[Lansky] Mr. Presley
and Mr. King...
710
00:36:31,230 --> 00:36:32,429
Regular peas in a pod,
711
00:36:32,565 --> 00:36:34,296
relieving me
of my finest threads.
712
00:36:34,431 --> 00:36:35,529
Must be some occasion.
713
00:36:35,665 --> 00:36:36,895
Mr. Lansky, it's Milton berle.
714
00:36:37,031 --> 00:36:38,828
The whole of america'll
be watching.
715
00:36:38,964 --> 00:36:40,907
I don't watch television.
716
00:36:41,042 --> 00:36:42,241
So what's it gonna be?
717
00:36:42,377 --> 00:36:44,101
How you gonna
blow their wigs off?
718
00:36:44,237 --> 00:36:47,612
Well, the network
wants me to do a ballad.
719
00:36:47,747 --> 00:36:49,727
But I'm thinking about
cuttin' it up with "hound dog."
720
00:36:49,751 --> 00:36:51,110
Whoo!
721
00:36:51,245 --> 00:36:57,113
Elvis Presley, "hound dog,"
and uncle miltie.
722
00:36:57,249 --> 00:36:59,152
Strange things
are happening every day.
723
00:36:59,287 --> 00:37:02,060
You ain't nothin'
but a hound dog, hound dog
724
00:37:02,196 --> 00:37:04,298
cryin' all the time
725
00:37:04,433 --> 00:37:06,790
you ain't nothin'
but a hound dog
726
00:37:06,926 --> 00:37:09,369
cryin' all the time
727
00:37:09,504 --> 00:37:11,129
well, you ain't never
caught a rabbit
728
00:37:11,264 --> 00:37:13,801
and you ain't no friend of mine
729
00:37:13,937 --> 00:37:16,537
when they said
you was high classed
730
00:37:16,673 --> 00:37:18,906
well, that was just a lie
731
00:37:19,041 --> 00:37:21,708
yeah, they said
you were high classed
732
00:37:21,844 --> 00:37:24,107
behold, tomorrow, all of america
733
00:37:24,243 --> 00:37:26,413
will be talking
about Elvis Presley.
734
00:37:26,549 --> 00:37:27,549
My wiggling boy.
735
00:37:27,650 --> 00:37:29,851
[Gladys and Vernon laughing]
736
00:37:29,986 --> 00:37:32,187
Even as a little one,
he made me laugh so.
737
00:37:32,323 --> 00:37:34,123
He's so funny!
738
00:37:34,258 --> 00:37:36,338
You never caught a rabbit
you ain't no friend of mine
739
00:37:38,361 --> 00:37:40,228
[laughter]
740
00:37:40,364 --> 00:37:42,831
You ain't nothin' but a
hound dog, a hound dog
741
00:37:44,436 --> 00:37:45,766
cryin' all the time
742
00:37:45,902 --> 00:37:47,342
[aide] And, senator,
for the next leg
743
00:37:47,374 --> 00:37:48,804
of your racial integrity tour,
744
00:37:48,940 --> 00:37:51,935
we booked the over ton
park shell in Memphis.
745
00:37:52,071 --> 00:37:53,803
What are they laughing about?
746
00:37:53,939 --> 00:37:56,615
[Laughter continues]
747
00:37:56,751 --> 00:37:59,980
[Elvis] You ain't nothin'
but a hound dog
748
00:38:01,321 --> 00:38:03,781
cryin' all the time
749
00:38:03,916 --> 00:38:05,993
who the hell is that?
750
00:38:06,128 --> 00:38:08,291
It's that boy from Memphis.
751
00:38:08,427 --> 00:38:10,590
[Dreamily] Elvis Presley.
752
00:38:10,726 --> 00:38:12,829
Cryin' all the time
753
00:38:12,964 --> 00:38:17,329
a white boy from Memphis,
moving like a goddamn...
754
00:38:17,465 --> 00:38:23,344
[Elvis singing] Is your
heart filled with pain
755
00:38:24,806 --> 00:38:27,374
shall I come back...
756
00:38:27,509 --> 00:38:32,345
The obscenity and vulgarity
of this rock and roll music
757
00:38:32,481 --> 00:38:36,214
is obviously a means by which
the white man and his children
758
00:38:36,350 --> 00:38:38,484
can be driven to the level
of the negro.
759
00:38:38,620 --> 00:38:40,631
[Elvis] The colored folks have
been singing and playing it
760
00:38:40,655 --> 00:38:43,021
just like I'm doing it now,
man, more years than I know.
761
00:38:43,157 --> 00:38:44,597
Colonel Parker,
we called you in here
762
00:38:44,664 --> 00:38:46,324
to talk about this act of yours.
763
00:38:46,460 --> 00:38:48,074
[TV reporter] A petition
has begun circulating
764
00:38:48,098 --> 00:38:50,535
to bar Elvis Presley
from television.
765
00:38:50,671 --> 00:38:52,232
[East land]
We've set up a committee
766
00:38:52,367 --> 00:38:54,905
to keep an eye on this vulgar,
animalistic rock and roll bum.
767
00:38:55,041 --> 00:38:56,847
[TV host] Your style
of gyrating while you sing
768
00:38:56,871 --> 00:38:58,168
has been bitterly criticized...
769
00:38:58,304 --> 00:39:00,010
I don't feel I'm doing
anything wrong.
770
00:39:00,145 --> 00:39:02,145
[Woman] We simply will not
advertise on any station
771
00:39:02,211 --> 00:39:03,847
that puts this delinquent
on television.
772
00:39:03,983 --> 00:39:06,678
Colonel, you put an end
to your boy's animal behavior,
773
00:39:06,813 --> 00:39:08,679
or we will.
774
00:39:08,815 --> 00:39:11,356
[Parker] Don't worry, senator,
my boy does what he's told.
775
00:39:11,491 --> 00:39:14,050
[Elvis singing]
Tell me, dear
776
00:39:14,186 --> 00:39:19,697
are you lonesome tonight?
777
00:39:23,864 --> 00:39:25,837
"Elvis the pelvis."
778
00:39:25,973 --> 00:39:28,899
That's one of the most childish
expressions I've ever heard
779
00:39:29,034 --> 00:39:31,038
coming from an adult.
780
00:39:31,173 --> 00:39:33,106
Is Mr. Allen gonna cancel me
from the show?
781
00:39:33,849 --> 00:39:35,079
Yes.
782
00:39:35,214 --> 00:39:37,279
Yes, he is.
783
00:39:37,414 --> 00:39:41,422
He is replacing you with one of
the country's greatest singers.
784
00:39:42,848 --> 00:39:44,253
Mario lanza?
785
00:39:44,388 --> 00:39:45,619
Someone greater.
786
00:39:45,754 --> 00:39:48,561
The new Elvis Presley!
787
00:39:50,528 --> 00:39:52,697
Yeah, I snowed 'em!
788
00:39:52,833 --> 00:39:55,365
You just have to put on
one of these tails here,
789
00:39:55,501 --> 00:39:56,966
can sing the "hound dog,"
790
00:39:57,101 --> 00:40:00,239
and it's a light-hearted,
sophisticated family show.
791
00:40:00,375 --> 00:40:01,602
I can't move in one of these.
792
00:40:01,737 --> 00:40:02,737
And that is the point.
793
00:40:02,806 --> 00:40:04,839
Mr. Allen agreed only as long
794
00:40:04,974 --> 00:40:07,308
as there is no wiggling
of those hips.
795
00:40:07,444 --> 00:40:09,764
I can't figure it out. My own
mother approves of what I do.
796
00:40:09,885 --> 00:40:11,483
Mmm.
797
00:40:11,618 --> 00:40:14,317
You have read the papers,
my boy?
798
00:40:14,453 --> 00:40:16,118
Yeah, I read the papers.
799
00:40:16,254 --> 00:40:18,591
The papers say that I shot
my mother and smoke marijuana.
800
00:40:18,726 --> 00:40:21,660
Your movement's
in the style of a black man,
801
00:40:21,795 --> 00:40:24,124
and you have broken
the segregation laws.
802
00:40:24,260 --> 00:40:26,258
So let's follow the plan.
It's a good plan.
803
00:40:26,393 --> 00:40:28,425
You do the Allen show,
family style,
804
00:40:28,561 --> 00:40:31,002
and then tomorrow
we go back to Memphis and
805
00:40:31,137 --> 00:40:34,807
we snow them on the July 4th
children's charitable concert.
806
00:40:34,942 --> 00:40:38,037
And we put this whole
unfortunate misstep behind us.
807
00:40:38,173 --> 00:40:40,545
Now, do you want
to go into politics?
808
00:40:40,681 --> 00:40:43,550
Or shall we stay
in show business?
809
00:40:46,285 --> 00:40:47,864
[Steve Allen] We want to do
a show the whole family
810
00:40:47,888 --> 00:40:49,781
can watch and enjoy,
and we always do.
811
00:40:49,916 --> 00:40:51,268
And at this time, it gives me
extreme pleasure to introduce
812
00:40:51,292 --> 00:40:52,992
the new Elvis Presley!
813
00:40:53,127 --> 00:40:54,754
[Dog barks]
814
00:40:54,889 --> 00:40:57,157
[Faint crowd laughter]
815
00:40:57,292 --> 00:40:58,692
[Female fan 1]
He used to be so hip.
816
00:40:58,798 --> 00:41:00,526
[Male fan 1]
He looked so silly.
817
00:41:00,662 --> 00:41:02,529
[Male fan 2] I mean,
he looked like a Butler.
818
00:41:02,665 --> 00:41:04,010
[Female fan 2] I can't believe
he agreed to sing to a dog.
819
00:41:04,034 --> 00:41:05,474
- [Door bangs]
- [Elvis] God damn it!
820
00:41:06,305 --> 00:41:07,506
[Grunts angrily]
821
00:41:07,642 --> 00:41:09,005
He could've given us
some warning.
822
00:41:09,141 --> 00:41:10,989
I know how to do a skit,
I could've made it funny!
823
00:41:11,013 --> 00:41:14,505
The most stupid, embarrassing,
humiliating thing I ever did.
824
00:41:14,641 --> 00:41:16,258
Well, what the hell
do you want me to do about it?
825
00:41:16,282 --> 00:41:17,550
We're musicians!
826
00:41:17,686 --> 00:41:19,125
[Female fan 3]
It's just embarrassing.
827
00:41:19,149 --> 00:41:20,422
[Male fan 3]
Who does he think he is?
828
00:41:20,446 --> 00:41:22,455
[Voices overlapping,
echoing faintly]
829
00:41:22,591 --> 00:41:25,119
- [Horn toots]
- [Fans screaming]
830
00:41:28,019 --> 00:41:31,323
[Imperceptible]
831
00:41:38,699 --> 00:41:41,598
[Gladys] She just went on
and on about the damn dog.
832
00:41:41,733 --> 00:41:43,901
And I said, "neighbors
shouldn't speak like that."
833
00:41:44,037 --> 00:41:45,509
And then she said...
834
00:41:45,644 --> 00:41:47,408
I like the bit with the dog.
835
00:41:47,543 --> 00:41:49,825
It was the most embarrassing
performance of my life, daddy.
836
00:41:49,849 --> 00:41:51,913
She wasn't the only one
who said it.
837
00:41:52,048 --> 00:41:53,717
- All the neighbors did.
- Oh, god.
838
00:41:53,853 --> 00:41:55,355
Those New York people
were using you
839
00:41:55,490 --> 00:41:57,054
to poke fun at the whole south.
840
00:41:57,190 --> 00:42:00,825
Getting a laugh out of putting
a hillbilly in a tailcoat
841
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:03,291
- and singing to a dog.
- [Faint shouting]
842
00:42:03,427 --> 00:42:06,057
God damn it, mama, it was
either that or I get canceled.
843
00:42:06,193 --> 00:42:08,099
Then that's it for television.
844
00:42:08,234 --> 00:42:10,868
Colonel says I'm running out
of states that I'm welcome in.
845
00:42:11,003 --> 00:42:13,532
And they don't pay
unless I can perform.
846
00:42:13,668 --> 00:42:16,208
So colonel says I play the
charity concert tomorrow night,
847
00:42:16,344 --> 00:42:18,702
as the new family style,
848
00:42:18,837 --> 00:42:21,574
then everybody calms down
and we get back on track.
849
00:42:21,709 --> 00:42:24,348
Someone's got to think about
keeping a roof over our heads.
850
00:42:24,484 --> 00:42:26,183
Roof over our head?
851
00:42:26,318 --> 00:42:28,953
We've always managed to keep
a roof over our head, Vernon.
852
00:42:29,089 --> 00:42:30,889
Mama, daddy is business
manager. It's his job.
853
00:42:30,919 --> 00:42:32,451
[Vernon] That's right.
854
00:42:32,586 --> 00:42:34,757
We was doing just fine
before that man came along.
855
00:42:34,892 --> 00:42:36,254
Colonel has got us all of this.
856
00:42:36,390 --> 00:42:38,826
I don't want all this!
You're unhappy!
857
00:42:38,962 --> 00:42:40,733
- I am not!
- [Grunts loudly]
858
00:42:41,965 --> 00:42:43,829
You're losing yourself, booby!
859
00:42:43,965 --> 00:42:45,632
Oh, hell, mama, I...
860
00:42:45,768 --> 00:42:47,137
Satnin knows.
861
00:42:47,273 --> 00:42:48,273
[Sighs]
862
00:42:48,407 --> 00:42:49,808
[Heavy sigh]
863
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:57,776
[Gladys] The way you sing
and move...
864
00:42:57,911 --> 00:42:59,543
It's god-given.
865
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:03,146
So there can't be nothing
wrong with it.
866
00:43:03,282 --> 00:43:05,692
[All chattering excitedly]
867
00:43:05,827 --> 00:43:07,753
Hey, I'm gonna ask cousin
about the movie.
868

00:52:13,973 --> 00:52:15,703
Elvis Presley!
1041
00:52:15,838 --> 00:52:19,212
Strange things happening
every day
1042
00:52:21,646 --> 00:52:24,144
just sing the nice song.
Smile the nice smile.
1043
00:52:24,279 --> 00:52:25,647
No wiggling.
1044
00:52:25,782 --> 00:52:27,677
Then we can get back
to our show business.
1045
00:52:27,813 --> 00:52:30,080
And have fun, my boy! Fun!
1046
00:52:33,361 --> 00:52:35,661
[Tharpe singing]
Oh, we want peace!
1047
00:52:35,797 --> 00:52:37,763
We want peace!
1048
00:52:37,899 --> 00:52:40,169
We ought a stop talkin' about
it and do somethin' about it
1049
00:52:40,193 --> 00:52:44,835
oh, there are strange
things happening
1050

[Cheering subsides]
1054
00:53:09,497 --> 00:53:11,631
There's been a lot of talk
about the new Elvis.
1055
00:53:11,766 --> 00:53:14,025
[Crowd jeering]
1056
00:53:19,536 --> 00:53:21,604
And of course, that other guy.

[Crowd cheering]
1058
00:53:25,812 --> 00:53:28,445
[Elvis singing] You ain't
nothin' but a hound dog

[chuckling]
Cryin' all the time
1060
00:53:33,017 --> 00:53:35,248
[east land] ...At his
command, both civil and other,
1061
00:53:35,383 --> 00:53:39,255
to maintain public order,
and prevent crime and riots.
1062
00:53:39,391 --> 00:53:41,052
He can use those forces...
1063
00:53:41,187 --> 00:53:44,730
To prevent the racial
integration of schools,
1064
00:53:44,865 --> 00:53:48,796
if this is necessary, under the
police powers of that state...
1065
00:53:48,931 --> 00:53:51,403
There's a lot of people
saying a lot of things.
1066
00:53:51,539 --> 00:53:53,132
[East land]
In fact, it is his duty...
1067
00:53:53,268 --> 00:53:55,568
Of course you gotta listen
to the people that you love.
1068
00:53:55,703 --> 00:53:58,608
[East land] ...And prevent
turmoil and strife within the state.
1069
00:54:00,613 --> 00:54:02,407
But in the end,
you gotta listen to yourself.
1070
00:54:02,542 --> 00:54:04,581
[Crowd cheering]
1071
00:54:04,717 --> 00:54:06,678
So I want you to know,
those New York people
1072
00:54:06,813 --> 00:54:08,414
ain't gonna change me none.
1073
00:54:08,550 --> 00:54:10,246
[Cheering, applause]
1074
00:54:10,382 --> 00:54:12,084
[East land]
The subversives who own...
1075
00:54:12,220 --> 00:54:15,958
control and dominate
the entertainment industry...
1076
00:54:16,093 --> 00:54:17,704

to spread africanized culture...
1078

I'm gonna show you what
the real Elvis is like tonight!
1079
00:54:24,538 --> 00:54:26,400
[East land]
Influencing your children...
1080
00:54:26,535 --> 00:54:27,807
To accept the negroes.
1081

[Band plays chord]
1082
00:54:29,367 --> 00:54:30,240
If you're looking for trouble
1083
00:54:30,376 --> 00:54:31,704
- no.
- What's going on?
1084
00:54:31,839 --> 00:54:33,269
You came to the right place
1085
00:54:34,812 --> 00:54:36,547
if you're looking for trouble
1086
00:54:38,153 --> 00:54:39,352
just look right in my face
1087
00:54:41,154 --> 00:54:42,784
I was born standing up
1088
00:54:44,421 --> 00:54:46,525
and talking back
1089
00:54:46,660 --> 00:54:52,590
my daddy was a green-eyed
mountain Jack
1090
00:54:52,726 --> 00:54:56,926
because I'm evil
1091
00:54:57,061 --> 00:55:01,000
my middle name is misery
1092
00:55:05,144 --> 00:55:08,205

1093
00:55:09,846 --> 00:55:13,353
so don't you mess around with me
1094
00:55:19,857 --> 00:55:21,017
I've never looked for trouble
1095
00:55:21,126 --> 00:55:22,829
[all screaming]
1096
00:55:22,964 --> 00:55:24,496
But I never ran
1097
00:55:26,199 --> 00:55:27,664
I don't take no orders
1098
00:55:29,104 --> 00:55:30,403
from no kind of man
1099
00:55:32,601 --> 00:55:33,769
I'm only made out
1100
00:55:35,671 --> 00:55:36,936
of flesh, blood and bone
1101
00:55:37,072 --> 00:55:40,607
but if you're gonna
start a rumble
1102
00:55:40,743 --> 00:55:43,872
don't you try it on alone
1103
00:55:44,008 --> 00:55:47,244
because I'm evil
1104
00:55:48,321 --> 00:55:51,549

- [band accelerates tempo]

I'm evil, evil evil as can be
1111

I'm evil evil, evil as can be

[faint singing] Evil, evil

00:56:28,192 --> 00:56:31,897
uh, now would be a good time
to get back into the car.

- [Cameras clicking, whirring]

[Up-tempo music continues]
1126
00:56:56,751 --> 00:56:59,314
[Sounds fade, muffled]
1127
00:56:59,450 --> 00:57:01,494
[Parker] He didn't listen to me.
1128
00:57:02,891 --> 00:57:04,296
- Why?
- [Faint singing]
1129
00:57:04,431 --> 00:57:07,594
Why didn't he listen to me?
1130
00:57:07,730 --> 00:57:10,129
[Faint singing] I'm evil
1131
00:57:11,965 --> 00:57:13,671
get my boy off that stage!
1132
00:57:14,999 --> 00:57:16,040
With me

[yelling]
1134
00:57:19,811 --> 00:57:22,806
[Scotty] Get your hands
off him. Hey!
1135
00:57:22,941 --> 00:57:24,946
[Bill] Hey, Elvis!

[Women shrieking] Elvis!

Go look after the merchandise.
Look after the merchandise!

Get off of me!
Mama, you get in the car!

Get in the car!

[Panting]
1144
00:58:00,586 --> 00:58:02,313
You're gonna get us in trouble.
1145
00:58:03,488 --> 00:58:05,050
He's all right, come on.
1146
00:58:05,186 --> 00:58:07,190
- [Scotty] Elvis!
- [Bill] Scotty, come on.

[Siren wails]
1151
00:58:21,632 --> 00:58:25,069
[Parker] My dear boy had chosen.
1152
00:58:25,204 --> 00:58:30,013
You, his audience, his fans.
1153
00:58:30,149 --> 00:58:34,585
He had no idea what
he had done to both of us.
1154
00:58:34,721 --> 00:58:36,249
[East land]
We warned you, colonel.
1155
00:58:36,385 --> 00:58:38,014
You've lost control
of this act of yours.
1156
00:58:38,150 --> 00:58:39,926
And he's dividing this nation.
1157
00:58:40,061 --> 00:58:44,355
There are a lot of people
who want to see him in jail.
1158
00:58:44,490 --> 00:58:46,599
[Parker] I had to find
a way out.
1159
00:58:47,730 --> 00:58:49,602
A way to save him.
1160
00:58:53,264 --> 00:58:57,709
[Elvis singing] Crawfish
1161
00:58:59,410 --> 00:59:02,714
crawfish
1162
00:59:05,547 --> 00:59:10,212
no. There's no way my baby's
going to Germany for two years.
1163
00:59:10,348 --> 00:59:14,154
It is either the army or jail.
1164
00:59:15,296 --> 00:59:17,223
There is something else.
1165
00:59:17,358 --> 00:59:21,062
Vernon, they are poking
into your background.
1166
00:59:21,197 --> 00:59:22,796
We don't have nothin'
to be ashamed of!
1167
00:59:22,931 --> 00:59:24,561
Now, my daddy is a good man.
1168
00:59:24,696 --> 00:59:27,804
[Parker] Yes, yes.
But your papa did go to jail.
1169
00:59:27,940 --> 00:59:30,909
You know them,
and their flashy headlines.
1170
00:59:31,044 --> 00:59:34,972
"Elvis, the draft dodger."
"A family of delinquents."
1171
00:59:35,107 --> 00:59:38,206
There was no moon
1172
00:59:38,342 --> 00:59:42,044
[Parker] We may never book another
date, or sell another record again.
1173
00:59:42,180 --> 00:59:43,779
And my way of thinking,
1174
00:59:43,915 --> 00:59:46,258
the army could be a
brand new start for all of us.
1175
00:59:46,394 --> 00:59:48,159
Let them cut your hair.
1176
00:59:48,294 --> 00:59:51,426
Prove to the world that you are
a clean-cut, all-American boy.
1177
00:59:51,561 --> 00:59:54,491
You do your two years, and when
you come back, I promise you
1178
00:59:54,626 --> 00:59:56,131
I will have done
everything I can
1179
00:59:56,266 --> 00:59:58,966
to make you the biggest
actor in Hollywood.
1180
00:59:59,101 --> 01:00:00,739
You will choose
your own pictures.
1181
01:00:02,776 --> 01:00:04,296
- It's gonna be okay, mama.
- [Sobbing]
1182
01:00:04,373 --> 01:00:08,742
And I pulled Mr. Crawfish
out of his hole
1183
01:00:08,877 --> 01:00:10,720
[TV reporter] Young Mr. Presley,
a rock and roller no more.
1184
01:00:10,744 --> 01:00:13,979
He'll do six months'
basic training at fort Chaffee
1185
01:00:14,114 --> 01:00:16,048
before shipping off to Germany.
1186
01:00:16,183 --> 01:00:17,822
[Elvis continues singing
faintly]
1187
01:00:17,957 --> 01:00:19,548
[Parker] Since the day
he was born,
1188
01:00:19,683 --> 01:00:22,288
she had feared
losing her second son.
1189
01:00:25,866 --> 01:00:28,030
While he was
in basic training...
1190
01:00:29,096 --> 01:00:31,429
She worried and drank...
1191
01:00:32,933 --> 01:00:34,366
Worried...
1192
01:00:35,342 --> 01:00:37,004
And drank.
1193
01:00:37,140 --> 01:00:39,140
- [Loud thump]
- [Glass clattering]
1194
01:00:45,110 --> 01:00:46,413
[Faint] Hey...
1195
01:00:46,549 --> 01:00:47,753
Alberta!
1196
01:00:52,359 --> 01:00:54,320
[Sobbing quietly]
1197
01:00:58,957 --> 01:01:01,129
[Crying]
1198
01:01:11,511 --> 01:01:13,803
[Elvis crying] Oh, no...
1199
01:01:13,939 --> 01:01:15,407
No!
1200
01:01:19,252 --> 01:01:23,879
There are some fine folks
from the press waiting outside.
1201
01:01:24,015 --> 01:01:28,857
A few questions, pictures,
and they will leave us alone.
1202
01:01:28,992 --> 01:01:31,863
I can't get him to do anything.
1203
01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:36,098
He trusted her like nobody else,
1204
01:01:36,234 --> 01:01:39,838
and now she's gone
and who does he have now?
1205
01:01:41,869 --> 01:01:42,869
[Vernon] Well...
1206
01:01:44,338 --> 01:01:46,102
He trusts you.
[Shaky exhale]
1207
01:01:46,238 --> 01:01:48,242
Can you talk to him?
1208
01:01:49,381 --> 01:01:51,212
Oh, no.
1209
01:01:52,376 --> 01:01:54,242
It's not my place...
1210
01:01:54,378 --> 01:01:56,080
Can you do it, colonel?
1211
01:01:56,215 --> 01:01:58,054
We need your help now.
1212
01:02:01,627 --> 01:02:03,620
[Elvis sobbing quietly]
1213
01:02:08,496 --> 01:02:11,095
Your daddy is doing
the best he knows how,
1214
01:02:11,230 --> 01:02:14,264
but he is overwhelmed.
1215
01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:16,571
He needs your help out there.
1216
01:02:16,706 --> 01:02:20,402
[Crying] I can't go out there.
I just wanna stay here forever.

anything she would have done...
1221

I will carry out, in her name.
1222
01:02:35,392 --> 01:02:40,622
When you are overseas,
I will stay here at home.
1223

and I will worry.

by your papa.

1230

All that your mama
has sacrificed for you

know what to say after that,

01:11:26,590 --> 01:11:28,327
we've seen
"Elvis the movie star."
1385
01:11:28,462 --> 01:11:31,962
Now we will see
"Elvis the family entertainer."
1386
01:11:32,098 --> 01:11:33,530
And appliance salesman?
1387
01:11:35,826 --> 01:11:37,764
What did you say?
1388
01:11:37,900 --> 01:11:40,298
Listen, Jerry,
I don't need you to question me
1389
01:11:40,434 --> 01:11:43,501
about how I support my family
and every goddamn person here.
1390
01:11:43,636 --> 01:11:45,169
You understand me?
1391
01:11:45,305 --> 01:11:47,225
If you don't like it,
you can go back to Memphis.
1392
01:11:49,346 --> 01:11:50,910
Laugh it up, assholes.
1393
01:12:03,026 --> 01:12:05,221
[Male voice singing "here comes
Santa claus" on tape]
1394
01:12:07,193 --> 01:12:08,665
[Man] What a beautiful rendition
1395
01:12:08,800 --> 01:12:11,032
of "here comes Santa claus"
that was,
1396
01:12:11,167 --> 01:12:14,473
with all the sparkle and magic
that the season brings.
1397
01:12:14,608 --> 01:12:16,508
And you'll be even warmer
this season
1398
01:12:16,643 --> 01:12:19,075
in a 12 Gauge
cable-knit woolen sweater...
1399
01:12:19,210 --> 01:12:21,409
- Satnin?
- Hi.
1400
01:12:21,545 --> 01:12:23,686
Made right at home on the
singer sewer sk155 home knitter.
1401
01:12:23,710 --> 01:12:26,213
And now, here's Elvis!
1402
01:12:26,348 --> 01:12:27,383
[Stops tape]
1403
01:12:27,518 --> 01:12:30,145
[Mahalia Jackson singing on TV]
1404
01:12:30,280 --> 01:12:32,219
Can I watch the memorial
with you?
1405
01:12:32,354 --> 01:12:33,689
Yeah, baby.
1406
01:12:41,126 --> 01:12:44,201
I'm so tired of playing
Elvis Presley.
1407
01:12:44,336 --> 01:12:46,696
Too many people rely on me.
1408
01:12:46,831 --> 01:12:48,704
[Priscilla sighs]
1409
01:12:50,075 --> 01:12:51,703
I love you.
1410
01:12:51,838 --> 01:12:53,610
And your daughter loves you.
1411
01:12:56,276 --> 01:12:58,380
We don't care about the money
or anything else.
1412
01:12:58,516 --> 01:13:00,209
We just want you to be happy.
1413
01:13:00,344 --> 01:13:02,053
[Jackson singing]
Lord, hold my hand
1414
01:13:02,189 --> 01:13:03,887
and don't let me fall
1415
01:13:04,022 --> 01:13:07,453
you're only really happy when
you sing the music you love.
1416
01:13:07,588 --> 01:13:11,490
[Jackson] Oh
1417
01:13:11,625 --> 01:13:14,889
take my hand
1418
01:13:15,025 --> 01:13:17,798
[Elvis] Mahalia Jackson.
1419
01:13:17,934 --> 01:13:20,605
I used to hear her sing
at east street church.
1420
01:13:20,740 --> 01:13:23,968
[Jackson singing]
Got a feelin' in my body
1421
01:13:24,104 --> 01:13:26,100
that's the music
that makes me happy.
1422
01:13:26,236 --> 01:13:31,714
This will be our lucky day
1423
01:13:31,850 --> 01:13:36,311
so when things are too
dangerous to say... sing!
1424
01:13:36,447 --> 01:13:38,281
["I got a feeling in my body"
playing]
1425
01:13:41,795 --> 01:13:46,832
When Moses walked the children
out of Egypt land
1426
01:13:46,967 --> 01:13:51,334
he said "now don't you worry
we're in the lord's hands"
1427
01:13:51,470 --> 01:13:55,305
I got a feelin' in my body
1428
01:13:55,441 --> 01:13:58,510
this will be our lucky day
1429
01:14:02,012 --> 01:14:05,976
we'll be released
from all our sorrow
1430
01:14:06,111 --> 01:14:09,213
leave it layin' along the way
1431
01:14:17,492 --> 01:14:20,357
[Jerry] You gotta meet these
binder and bones guys, e.P.
1432
01:14:20,492 --> 01:14:21,773
They're the ones
that put James brown,
1433
01:14:21,797 --> 01:14:24,295
the rolling stones onstage.
1434
01:14:24,430 --> 01:14:26,097
They're doing some
cutting edge stuff.
1435
01:14:26,233 --> 01:14:30,366
Mr. Binder, Mr. Howe...
Thanks for coming.
1436
01:14:31,908 --> 01:14:33,875
[Helicopter whirring
in distance]
1437
01:14:46,685 --> 01:14:48,885
[Elvis] When I first came
to Hollywood, I'd come up here
1438
01:14:49,019 --> 01:14:51,253
and sit for hours.
1439
01:14:51,389 --> 01:14:53,059
Right over there,
the observatory...
1440
01:14:53,195 --> 01:14:55,900
That's where they shot
rebel without a cause.
1441
01:14:56,036 --> 01:15:00,997
Man, I used to dream of being
a great actor like Jimmy Dean.
1442
01:15:01,133 --> 01:15:03,201
This sign was beautiful then.
1443
01:15:05,474 --> 01:15:07,339
And now...
1444
01:15:07,475 --> 01:15:10,345
Feels as though lots of things
are like that these days.
1445
01:15:10,481 --> 01:15:13,409
Broke down, beat up.
1446
01:15:14,251 --> 01:15:15,251
Rotten.
1447
01:15:17,415 --> 01:15:19,349
I really like what you guys did,
1448
01:15:19,484 --> 01:15:21,921
putting James brown
and the stones together.
1449
01:15:22,057 --> 01:15:25,488
We're, uh...
Big fans of yours, too.
1450
01:15:25,623 --> 01:15:28,032
It's just that, Mr. Presley,
we don't usually...
1451
01:15:28,167 --> 01:15:29,429
Oh, Elvis.
1452
01:15:29,564 --> 01:15:30,998
Elvis, uh...
1453
01:15:32,629 --> 01:15:35,268
Christmas specials
aren't really our thing.
1454
01:15:35,404 --> 01:15:36,608
I know.
1455
01:15:38,509 --> 01:15:40,778
Tell me, honestly...
1456
01:15:40,913 --> 01:15:43,274
Where do you boys
think my career's at right now?
1457
01:15:45,218 --> 01:15:46,910
Well, it's...
1458
01:15:47,046 --> 01:15:49,753
It's in the toilet, Elvis.
1459
01:15:51,784 --> 01:15:54,285
[Both laughing]
1460
01:15:55,394 --> 01:15:57,928
You hear that, Jerry?
1461
01:15:58,064 --> 01:16:01,259
Oh, lord. I knew you were
the right guys for this job.
1462
01:16:01,394 --> 01:16:03,733
You know,
back when I was starting out,
1463
01:16:03,868 --> 01:16:06,264
some people wanted
to put me in jail,
1464
01:16:06,399 --> 01:16:09,564
even kill me,
'cause of the way I was moving.
1465
01:16:11,773 --> 01:16:13,337
So they cut my hair,
1466
01:16:13,473 --> 01:16:16,340
they put me in uniform
and they sent me away.
1467
01:16:19,319 --> 01:16:20,982
That killed my mother.
1468
01:16:24,181 --> 01:16:25,954
And ever since then...
1469
01:16:27,754 --> 01:16:28,990
I've been lost.
1470
01:16:31,425 --> 01:16:34,160
And when you're lost,
people take advantage.
1471
01:16:37,400 --> 01:16:40,595
I need you fellas to help me
get back to who I really am.
1472
01:16:41,869 --> 01:16:43,103
And who are you, Elvis?
1473
01:16:45,804 --> 01:16:47,951
I sure as hell ain't somebody
who sings Christmas songs
1474
01:16:47,975 --> 01:16:50,780
by a fireplace for an hour.
1475
01:16:50,915 --> 01:16:53,377
[Steve] And what
does the colonel think?
1476
01:16:53,512 --> 01:16:55,786
I don't give a damn
what the colonel thinks.
1477
01:16:56,586 --> 01:16:57,887
[Rock clattering]
1478
01:17:11,001 --> 01:17:12,662
[Parker]
For this television special,
1479
01:17:12,798 --> 01:17:15,468
we've got this bindle fella,
number one hotshot director.
1480
01:17:15,603 --> 01:17:18,373
Elvis will be humoring him by
doing a few of his fresh ideas.
1481
01:17:18,508 --> 01:17:20,072
Ah, the sweater!
1482
01:17:20,208 --> 01:17:22,804
To Mr. Presley's
dressing room, please.
1483
01:17:22,940 --> 01:17:26,309
We are going to sing three
spectacular Christmas songs
1484
01:17:26,445 --> 01:17:28,511
- in that very sweater.
- [Applause]
1485
01:17:30,450 --> 01:17:33,481
Now, when that sign lights up,
what do you do?
1486
01:17:33,616 --> 01:17:35,056
- Applause.
- [Crowd applauding]
1487
01:17:38,965 --> 01:17:41,324
"Silent is the night"
and "deck the halls,"
1488
01:17:41,460 --> 01:17:44,802
and, uh...
"Whose child is this?"
1489
01:17:44,938 --> 01:17:46,836
[Elvis] You think
we can do some gospel?
1490
01:17:46,971 --> 01:17:48,505
Well, if you want
to find yourself,
1491
01:17:48,641 --> 01:17:50,238
first thing you do is go home.
1492
01:17:50,374 --> 01:17:53,773
Metaphorically, you know.
Get back to who you really are.
1493
01:17:53,909 --> 01:17:55,873
And what is the boy that...
1494
01:17:56,008 --> 01:17:57,657
- oh, "the little drummer boy"?
- Yes, "the little drumming boy."
1495
01:17:57,681 --> 01:17:59,246
Oh, the... with the...
1496
01:17:59,381 --> 01:18:01,282
[Bones] We get your old band
back together.
1497
01:18:01,418 --> 01:18:05,181
But we are going to start with
"here comes Santa claus,"
1498
01:18:05,317 --> 01:18:07,089
isn't that right, Mr. Bindle?
1499
01:18:07,224 --> 01:18:08,734
Uh, the Christmas specials
come later in the show.
1500
01:18:08,758 --> 01:18:10,125
Can you bring up two?
1501
01:18:10,260 --> 01:18:12,196
[Steve] A leather jacket.
Raw, dirty.
1502
01:18:12,331 --> 01:18:15,358
Remember, ladies and gentlemen,
this is television, not radio,
1503
01:18:15,494 --> 01:18:16,964
so when that goes up
and you clap,
1504
01:18:17,100 --> 01:18:18,337
let's see it
on your faces as well.
1505
01:18:18,361 --> 01:18:19,694
[Enthusiastic applause]
1506
01:18:19,829 --> 01:18:21,109
[Steve] But you need
an audience.
1507
01:18:21,166 --> 01:18:22,731
[Elvis] Audience?
1508
01:18:22,866 --> 01:18:24,780
- Bring it over to one.
- [Bones] At any second now,
1509
01:18:24,804 --> 01:18:26,783
Elvis is gonna walk onto this
stage and perform just for you.
1510
01:18:26,807 --> 01:18:28,986
[Elvis] I ain't sang in front
of an audience in a long time.
1511
01:18:29,010 --> 01:18:30,408
[Steve] That's my point.
1512
01:18:30,544 --> 01:18:33,548
Ladies and gentlemen,
here's Elvis Presley!
1513
01:18:33,684 --> 01:18:35,248
[Applause, cheering]
1514
01:19:11,581 --> 01:19:14,254
Well, since my baby left me
1515
01:19:14,389 --> 01:19:16,917
well, I found a new place
to dwell
1516
01:19:17,053 --> 01:19:18,957
well, it's down at the end
of lonely street
1517
01:19:19,093 --> 01:19:21,426
at heartbreak hotel
1518
01:19:21,561 --> 01:19:25,029
where I'll be
I'll be so lonely, baby
1519
01:19:25,164 --> 01:19:27,464
I'll be so lonely
1520
01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:31,437
I'll be so lonely I could die
1521
01:19:31,572 --> 01:19:34,637
well, the bellhop's tears
keep flowin'
1522
01:19:34,773 --> 01:19:37,311
and the desk clerk's
dressed in black
1523
01:19:37,447 --> 01:19:39,808
well, they've been so long
on lonely street
1524
01:19:39,943 --> 01:19:43,587
well, they'll never
they'll never look back
1525
01:19:43,723 --> 01:19:45,753
they'll be so lonely, baby
1526
01:19:45,889 --> 01:19:48,353
they'll be so lonely
1527
01:19:48,489 --> 01:19:50,758
they'll be so lonely
they could die
1528
01:19:50,893 --> 01:19:52,963
[band picks up tempo]
1529
01:19:54,161 --> 01:19:57,528
Well, that was... energetic.
1530
01:19:59,698 --> 01:20:02,330
You ain't nothin'
but a hound dog
1531
01:20:02,466 --> 01:20:04,402
snoopin' at my door
1532
01:20:04,538 --> 01:20:07,038
you ain't nothin'
but a hound dog
1533
01:20:07,174 --> 01:20:09,705
cryin' all the time
1534
01:20:09,840 --> 01:20:11,473
well, you ain't never
caught a rabbit
1535
01:20:11,608 --> 01:20:14,215
you ain't no friend of mine
1536
01:20:14,947 --> 01:20:15,947
come on!
1537
01:20:17,357 --> 01:20:19,350
Colonel...
1538
01:20:19,486 --> 01:20:21,556
Is "here comes
Santa claus" next?
1539
01:20:21,691 --> 01:20:23,251
Absolutely.
1540
01:20:23,387 --> 01:20:25,888
I see no reason why not.
1541
01:20:26,024 --> 01:20:29,628
He's not in the swe... he's not
even wearing the sweater.
1542
01:20:29,763 --> 01:20:32,728
Well, it's one for the money
two for the show
1543
01:20:32,863 --> 01:20:34,830
three to get ready
now go, cat, go
1544
01:20:34,966 --> 01:20:39,337
but don't you
step on my blue suede shoes
1545
01:20:39,473 --> 01:20:41,544
I do not know what is going on.
1546
01:20:41,680 --> 01:20:42,979
Singing "hound dog"?
1547
01:20:43,115 --> 01:20:44,916
What does that have to do
with Christmas?
1548
01:20:45,051 --> 01:20:47,512
Blue, blue, blue suede shoes
yeah
1549
01:20:47,647 --> 01:20:50,053
blue, blue, blue suede shoes
baby
1550
01:20:50,188 --> 01:20:52,020
blue, blue, blue suede shoes
yeah

01:20:52,156 --> 01:20:54,020
blue, blue blue suede shoes
1552
01:20:54,156 --> 01:20:55,586
well, you can do anything

in 1963,
1725
01:29:05,278 --> 01:29:08,513
or Dr. Martin Luther King
in April of this year.
1726
01:29:08,649 --> 01:29:11,048
My fellow citizens, we cannot,
1727
01:29:11,183 --> 01:29:13,651
we just must not tolerate
the sway
1728
01:29:13,786 --> 01:29:15,890
of violent men among us.
1729
01:29:16,026 --> 01:29:19,859
We must not permit men
that are filled with hate...
1730
01:29:20,858 --> 01:29:23,429
[flicking switches]
1731
01:29:23,564 --> 01:29:26,228
[Piano notes playing]
1732
01:29:28,903 --> 01:29:33,202
[Elvis singing]
Here comes Santa claus
1733
01:29:36,280 --> 01:29:40,979
here comes Santa claus
1734
01:29:42,354 --> 01:29:46,655
right down Santa claus...
1735
01:29:54,194 --> 01:29:57,467
We're pretty set for the number
tomorrow, right, e.P.?
1736
01:29:57,603 --> 01:30:00,537
It's pretty familiar territory,
right?
1737
01:30:02,934 --> 01:30:05,102
A reverend once told me...
1738
01:30:07,239 --> 01:30:10,107
"When things are too dangerous
to say...
1739
01:30:12,775 --> 01:30:14,452
Sing."
1740
01:30:31,636 --> 01:30:34,098
[Piano playing

1741
01:30:37,638 --> 01:30:43,338
[Singing] There must be lights
burning brighter somewhere
1742
01:30:44,847 --> 01:30:49,152
got to be birds flying higher
1743
01:30:49,287 --> 01:30:52,749
in a sky more blue
1744
01:30:52,884 --> 01:30:54,857
[orchestra joining in]

[Stage manager] Standing by.
We're seconds away, folks.
1746
01:30:57,462 --> 01:30:58,959
We're just waiting on upstairs.
1747
01:30:59,094 --> 01:31:01,488
We're gonna get a rehearsal
going very shortly.
1748
01:31:01,624 --> 01:31:04,266
Let's go, let's go, people!
First positions!
1749
01:31:04,402 --> 01:31:05,933
Here we go, from the top.
1750
01:31:06,069 --> 01:31:09,197
Mrs. Presley is quite
the homemaker, Priscilla is,
1751
01:31:09,333 --> 01:31:10,774
and I'm sure
she would love to have
1752
01:31:10,909 --> 01:31:14,039
one of the sk551 machines
so she can knit Elvis's...
1753
01:31:14,174 --> 01:31:16,340
- They were in there all night.
- Doing what?
1754
01:31:16,475 --> 01:31:18,490
He's working on a new song.
He says he's singing it.
1755
01:31:18,514 --> 01:31:20,145
New song? Whoa, hey!
1756
01:31:20,280 --> 01:31:22,714
It's beginning to look
a lot like Christmas. Yes!
1757
01:31:22,849 --> 01:31:24,687
Gentlemen, take your seats.
1758
01:31:27,318 --> 01:31:30,059
Now, that's a winter wonderland.
1759
01:31:30,194 --> 01:31:31,727
Mr. Bindle.
1760
01:31:31,862 --> 01:31:36,895
You and I are
on the same page at last.
1761
01:31:37,031 --> 01:31:38,762
Bring up the lights on the sign.
1762
01:31:38,897 --> 01:31:41,397
Okay, yeah. Let's go.
1763
01:31:41,533 --> 01:31:43,937
[Stage manager] Dancers, stop.
Dancers, stop. Stop!
1764
01:31:44,903 --> 01:31:47,668
Turn about. Turn about.
1765
01:31:47,804 --> 01:31:49,814
You've got to get some roll.
I got action on the right side.
1766
01:31:49,838 --> 01:31:52,275
Turn around. Come on,
through, through, through!
1767
01:31:55,684 --> 01:31:58,017
We're lost in a cloud
1768
01:31:59,390 --> 01:32:01,889
with too much rain
1769
01:32:03,285 --> 01:32:05,728
we're trapped in a world
1770
01:32:07,059 --> 01:32:10,834
that's troubled with pain
1771
01:32:10,970 --> 01:32:16,902
but as long as a man
has the strength to dream
1772
01:32:17,038 --> 01:32:23,911
he can redeem his soul and fly
1773
01:32:28,382 --> 01:32:35,923
deep in my heart
there's a trembling question
1774
01:32:36,058 --> 01:32:39,958
still, I am sure
that the answer's
1775
01:32:40,094 --> 01:32:43,497
answer's gonna come somehow
1776
01:32:43,633 --> 01:32:47,165
out there in the dark
1777
01:32:47,300 --> 01:32:51,434
there's a beckoning candle, yeah
1778
01:32:51,569 --> 01:32:55,173
and while I can think
while I can talk
1779
01:32:55,308 --> 01:32:59,282
while I can stand
while I can walk
1780
01:32:59,417 --> 01:33:02,912
while I can dream
1781
01:33:03,048 --> 01:33:07,080
oh, please let my dream
1782
01:33:07,215 --> 01:33:10,793
come true, oh
1783
01:33:14,563 --> 01:33:18,225
right now
1784
01:33:18,361 --> 01:33:20,902
let it come true right now
1785
01:33:27,212 --> 01:33:29,779
[Song ends]
1786
01:33:32,140 --> 01:33:33,475
[Faint applause]
1787
01:33:33,610 --> 01:33:35,512
[Elvis on monitor]
Thank you. Good night.
1788
01:33:35,647 --> 01:33:38,013
[Parker] I was always said,
when it came to music,
1789
01:33:38,148 --> 01:33:39,880
my boy knows best.
1790
01:33:40,016 --> 01:33:44,618
But the special was my idea.
It was a tremendous hit.
1791
01:33:45,662 --> 01:33:47,326
We was back on top.
1792
01:33:47,462 --> 01:33:51,159
But some people were
putting ideas into his head
1793
01:33:51,294 --> 01:33:54,967
that he didn't need me no more.
1794
01:33:55,102 --> 01:33:57,631
["Any day now"
by Presley playing]
1795
01:34:00,643 --> 01:34:01,811
[Priscilla] Whoo-hoo!
1796
01:34:03,271 --> 01:34:04,505
It's working.
1797
01:34:04,640 --> 01:34:05,979
[Jerry] London, Germany,
Japan...
1798
01:34:06,114 --> 01:34:07,514
Hulett here has got it
all lined up.
1799
01:34:07,650 --> 01:34:09,447
Air Presley's new wings.
1800
01:34:09,583 --> 01:34:11,624
[Hulett] You know, when you
play stadiums, it's like...
1801
01:34:11,648 --> 01:34:13,449
You do a week of shows
in just one night.
1802
01:34:13,584 --> 01:34:15,891
And when it's done,
you get on the plane...
1803
01:34:16,026 --> 01:34:18,026
You go where you want,
you play where you want,
1804
01:34:18,161 --> 01:34:20,554
and if they don't like it,
you go someplace else.
1805
01:34:20,689 --> 01:34:22,565
You know who told me that?
B.B. King.
1806
01:34:22,700 --> 01:34:24,497
[Hulett]
Well, b.B. Knows, man.
1807
01:34:24,632 --> 01:34:26,792
And the someplace else you
should be going is overseas.
1808
01:34:26,865 --> 01:34:28,499
I like that.
1809
01:34:28,635 --> 01:34:30,681
You know, I heard last year
alone, you had two offers.
1810
01:34:30,705 --> 01:34:32,103
Germany and Japan,
1811
01:34:32,238 --> 01:34:35,108
for a million bucks
for one night.
1812
01:34:35,243 --> 01:34:37,379
I mean, why the colonel
would turn that down,
1813
01:34:37,515 --> 01:34:39,014
I have no idea, man.
1814
01:34:39,149 --> 01:34:41,447
Well, if you figure it out,
can you let us know?
1815
01:34:41,582 --> 01:34:43,019
Yeah.
1816
01:34:43,154 --> 01:34:43,913
[Hulett] Well, screw him.
You've got the plane now.
1817
01:34:44,048 --> 01:34:45,422
You should use it.
1818
01:34:45,557 --> 01:34:47,449
[Elvis] Yeah, come to daddy.
1819
01:34:47,585 --> 01:34:49,559
Maybe we should call it
the "Lisa Marie."
1820
01:34:49,694 --> 01:34:50,934
[Jerry]
That's a beautiful name.
1821
01:34:50,989 --> 01:34:52,059
[Priscilla] Right?
1822
01:34:54,499 --> 01:34:57,724
[Parker] Hit me. Hit me.
1823
01:34:57,859 --> 01:35:02,228

would like to see you.

[Dealer] I can't, sorry.
1826
01:35:11,908 --> 01:35:14,378
[Kohn] You've run up
quite a tab, colonel.
1827
01:35:14,513 --> 01:35:17,755
And we hear your boy's working
with new people.
1828
01:35:18,855 --> 01:35:21,522
You've lost your meal ticket.
1829

before we have to make things...
1831
01:35:26,563 --> 01:35:28,592
Uncomfortable.
1832
01:35:28,727 --> 01:35:31,698
Well, before the army, we found
no record of you at all.
1833
01:35:31,834 --> 01:35:34,496
No passport, no residency.
1834
01:35:34,632 --> 01:35:37,473
You were never a colonel.
Never a Tom.
1835

You weren't even a Parker.

Why did you flee Holland,
Andreas Van kuijk?

- [Brushing teeth]
- [Priscilla] I don't know why

you can't just let
the lawyers take care of it.

[Elvis] I have to see him
in Vegas.
1840
01:35:54,225 --> 01:35:56,419
He's in the hospital.
It's the right thing to do.
1841
01:35:56,554 --> 01:35:57,905
- Yeah, well...
- He's frail right now.
1842
01:35:57,929 --> 01:35:59,235
- You know what he's like, baby.
- [Slaps]
1843
01:35:59,259 --> 01:36:01,262
- Hey! Watch it.
- [Chatter on TV]
1844
01:36:01,397 --> 01:36:03,245
You know what he's like. The
second that you're near him,
1845
01:36:03,269 --> 01:36:05,673
you'll be under ten feet of snow
before you know what's happened.

01:36:05,697 --> 01:36:08,668
[Spits] My mind's made up.
Business is business.

He and I are done.
1848
01:36:10,272 --> 01:36:12,107
But I owe it to him
to tell him to his face.
1849
01:36:12,242 --> 01:36:15,609
Well, just make sure he
doesn't clip your wings, honey.
1850
01:36:15,744 --> 01:36:17,439
[Spits] He won't!

01:36:17,575 --> 01:36:20,182
I am gonna go see him in Vegas.
1852
01:36:20,318 --> 01:36:24,913
I'm gonna look him in the eyes,
and I'm gonna tell him...

- [Priscilla] Watch my hair.
- [Elvis] I'm gonna tell him...

- Mmm-hmm.

01:38:12,763 --> 01:38:14,192
You ain't retiring.
1894
01:38:14,327 --> 01:38:18,430
I will miss the circus. I will.
1895
01:38:18,565 --> 01:38:20,801
But I cannot keep up
with these young fellas,
1896
01:38:20,936 --> 01:38:22,532
like your Mr. Hulett,
1897
01:38:22,667 --> 01:38:25,432
who wants to put together
a new show
1898
01:38:25,568 --> 01:38:28,138
for an international tour,
1899
01:38:28,274 --> 01:38:30,708
for you to play stadiums.
1900
01:38:30,843 --> 01:38:36,151
These international tours
are very, very expensive.
1901
01:38:36,287 --> 01:38:39,756
And the costs
cut into the artist's profits.
1902
01:38:39,891 --> 01:38:41,825
I worry that the financial risk
1903
01:38:41,961 --> 01:38:44,760
would put a strain
on your daddy.
1904
01:38:44,895 --> 01:38:46,455
But I cannot help but think,
1905
01:38:46,591 --> 01:38:48,425
as your former technical advisor
1906
01:38:48,561 --> 01:38:51,663
and as an old friend, what if...
1907
01:38:51,799 --> 01:38:56,501
The next Elvis Presley show
did not cost you a red cent?
1908
01:38:59,444 --> 01:39:04,509
I wonder if your daddy would
not like the sound of that.
1909
01:39:06,018 --> 01:39:09,316
The brand-new
international hotel.
1910
01:39:28,974 --> 01:39:31,597
[Whistles]
It's a mighty big stage.
1911
01:39:31,733 --> 01:39:33,670
The biggest in Las Vegas.
1912
01:39:33,805 --> 01:39:35,870
You could get lost
in a place like this.
1913
01:39:36,006 --> 01:39:38,772
My boy, you performed
that comeback special
1914
01:39:38,908 --> 01:39:41,717
on a tiny square,
inside a studio,
1915
01:39:41,852 --> 01:39:43,509
and the fans loved it.
1916
01:39:43,645 --> 01:39:45,155
In a room this size,
1917
01:39:45,290 --> 01:39:49,849
you could give them
the greatest show on earth.
1918
01:39:49,985 --> 01:39:53,590
Nothing less than Elvis Presley.
1919
01:39:53,726 --> 01:39:56,665
I've been experimenting
with a new, big sound.
1920
01:39:56,801 --> 01:39:58,067
Good. Good, my boy.
1921
01:39:58,203 --> 01:40:00,236
Because you can fill up
this entire stage
1922
01:40:00,371 --> 01:40:02,996
with every musical idea
that is inside that head.
1923
01:40:04,203 --> 01:40:05,570
No, it would cost.
1924
01:40:05,705 --> 01:40:08,078
[Laughing]
Yes, that's the beauty of it.
1925
01:40:08,213 --> 01:40:10,012
You see, this here
international hotel...
1926
01:40:10,148 --> 01:40:12,412
- [voices chattering]
- [Door shuts]
1927
01:40:16,287 --> 01:40:17,883
[Quietly]
This international hotel...
1928
01:40:18,018 --> 01:40:19,018
[Elvis] Mmm-hmm.
1929
01:40:19,122 --> 01:40:21,817
Needs a major drawing card
1930
01:40:21,952 --> 01:40:25,654
to pull in all the rubes
and put it on the map.
1931
01:40:25,789 --> 01:40:28,424
So they will cover
all of the costs
1932
01:40:28,560 --> 01:40:30,594
of putting together your show.
1933
01:40:30,729 --> 01:40:32,393
And you just play here
for six weeks,
1934
01:40:32,529 --> 01:40:34,329
and then off you go,
1935
01:40:34,465 --> 01:40:37,163
to tour around the world
1936
01:40:37,298 --> 01:40:41,103
with no financial risk
to Elvis Presley enterprises.
1937
01:40:41,238 --> 01:40:42,508
None.
1938
01:40:47,279 --> 01:40:49,284
Well, goddamn.
1939
01:40:52,283 --> 01:40:53,882
[Both chuckling]
1940
01:40:55,953 --> 01:40:58,788
- Snowman strikes again.
- [Laughing] Oh, yeah.
1941
01:40:58,923 --> 01:41:03,062
We're going to make it snow.
It will snow.
1942
01:41:03,198 --> 01:41:05,539
[Elvis] First of all, we're gonna
need the sweet inspirations.
1943
01:41:05,563 --> 01:41:07,760
[Singing] Yeah, yeah
1944
01:41:07,896 --> 01:41:09,804
[Elvis] And the imperials.
1945
01:41:09,939 --> 01:41:12,107
[Singing] We're caught
in a trap I can't walk out
1946
01:41:12,243 --> 01:41:14,172
[Elvis]
And a 30-piece orchestra.
1947
01:41:14,307 --> 01:41:17,774
[Musicians warming up]
1948
01:41:21,919 --> 01:41:24,446
[Elvis] You know, the first
thing that I ever recorded,
1949
01:41:24,582 --> 01:41:26,047
the very first thing,
1950
01:41:26,182 --> 01:41:29,050
was an old, uh, rhythm
and blues-type song
1951
01:41:29,185 --> 01:41:31,285
called "that's all right,
little mama."
1952
01:41:31,420 --> 01:41:33,823
- [Instruments continue playing]
- And back then we only had
1953
01:41:33,959 --> 01:41:37,067
two or three instruments
at the time.
1954
01:41:37,202 --> 01:41:39,092
But this ain't
no nostalgia show.
1955
01:41:39,227 --> 01:41:41,100
We're gonna do something
different.
1956
01:41:41,236 --> 01:41:42,799
[Instruments stop playing]
1957
01:41:45,209 --> 01:41:49,477
I, uh...
I wanna try something new.
1958
01:41:49,613 --> 01:41:53,177
All right, Glen, you're gonna
start us off, okay?
1959
01:41:53,313 --> 01:41:54,547
Take the intro here.
1960
01:41:55,413 --> 01:41:58,679
[Scatting softly]
1961
01:41:58,814 --> 01:42:01,323
[Glen playing lively rhythm]
1962
01:42:05,458 --> 01:42:07,560
[Piano continues playing]
1963
01:42:11,830 --> 01:42:13,401
All right, bring that
bass up, Jerry.
1964
01:42:13,536 --> 01:42:16,129
- [Bass thrumming]
- [Drums accompanying]
1965
01:42:17,809 --> 01:42:18,967
Keep playing.
1966
01:42:21,341 --> 01:42:22,678
[Band member] Whoo!
1967
01:42:22,813 --> 01:42:25,545

[The imperials]
That's all right
1972
01:42:30,986 --> 01:42:31,821
[Elvis] With me.
1973
01:42:31,957 --> 01:42:33,514
[All] Any way you do
1974
01:42:33,649 --> 01:42:34,649
[Elvis] All right.
1975
01:42:39,625 --> 01:42:41,163
[Elvis] James, you ready?
1976
01:42:41,299 --> 01:42:43,156
- [Playing guitar riff]
- [Elvis] Oh!
1977
01:42:49,807 --> 01:42:50,998
Flames, man!
1978
01:42:51,134 --> 01:42:53,072
Flames are coming
out of that guitar.
1979
01:42:53,208 --> 01:42:55,878
I got that. Ronnie.
1980
01:42:56,013 --> 01:42:57,104
I'll get back to that.
1981
01:42:57,882 --> 01:43:00,674
Horns, you ready?
1982
01:43:00,810 --> 01:43:04,216
Ba-da-bom! Ba-da-bom!
1983

[Trumpets matching melody]
1984
01:43:07,024 --> 01:43:08,190
Let's up the octave!

- [Musicians cheering]
- Yeah! Goddamn!
1987
01:43:12,595 --> 01:43:15,791

[Laughter, cheering]
1990
01:43:23,166 --> 01:43:25,604
[Elvis] Ronnie,
you know what to do, man.
1991
01:43:25,739 --> 01:43:27,767
Do it to me, come on.
Take us home.
1992
01:43:27,902 --> 01:43:29,673
[Playing lively solo]
1993
01:43:29,809 --> 01:43:32,708
Huh, huh, huh, huh

[Band playing

Ain't nobody gonna do
a better show than that.
2031
01:46:10,504 --> 01:46:11,901
I tell ya, if I was you,
2032
01:46:12,037 --> 01:46:14,202
I would book him
for a hundred years.
2033
01:46:15,613 --> 01:46:18,581
Well, no better time
than the present.
2034
01:46:18,716 --> 01:46:21,909
But we hear hulett has him
doing a world tour.
2035
01:46:22,045 --> 01:46:23,585
[Elvis speaking indistinctly]
2036
01:46:23,720 --> 01:46:26,722
Well, well, well, uh,
I think Mr. Presley
2037
01:46:26,858 --> 01:46:30,425
could be persuaded to make
the international his home,
2038
01:46:30,561 --> 01:46:34,063
provided he was paid
pretty well.
2039
01:46:34,199 --> 01:46:35,863
What did you have in mind?
2040
01:46:35,999 --> 01:46:38,199
I'd like to introduce to you
a couple of people tonight,
2041
01:46:38,230 --> 01:46:40,861
one of which being
my beautiful wife, Priscilla.
2042
01:46:40,996 --> 01:46:42,632
[Applause, whistling]
2043
01:46:42,768 --> 01:46:44,233
Would you stand up, honey?
2044
01:46:44,368 --> 01:46:47,942
For an attraction as tremendous
as Mr. Presley...
2045
01:46:48,077 --> 01:46:51,747
- [Woman] We love you, Priscilla!
- [Elvis chuckles]
2046
01:46:51,883 --> 01:46:55,243
Also, this man over here,
I wouldn't be here without,
2047
01:46:55,378 --> 01:46:58,551
my manager of many years,
colonel Sanders.
2048
01:46:58,686 --> 01:47:02,316
- Parker. Parker.
- [Laughter]
2049
01:47:02,452 --> 01:47:04,524
Well, we're gonna do a new song
for you tonight.
2050
01:47:04,659 --> 01:47:06,787
It's called "suspicious minds."
2051
01:47:06,923 --> 01:47:08,130
"Suspicious minds."
2052
01:47:08,265 --> 01:47:10,797
[Guitar playing intro]
2053
01:47:12,599 --> 01:47:14,427
We're caught in a trap
2054
01:47:16,174 --> 01:47:18,266
I can't walk out
2055
01:47:19,808 --> 01:47:25,306
because I love you
too much, baby
2056
01:47:27,581 --> 01:47:29,175
why can't you see
2057
01:47:29,310 --> 01:47:33,349
oh, what you're doin' to me
2058
01:47:33,484 --> 01:47:39,452
oh, when you don't believe
a word I'm sayin'?
2059
01:47:42,262 --> 01:47:48,667
We can't go on together
with suspicious minds
2060
01:47:48,802 --> 01:47:51,800
and we can't build our dreams
2061
01:47:51,936 --> 01:47:55,702
on suspicious minds
2062
01:47:55,837 --> 01:47:59,379
so, if an old friend I know

2065
01:48:03,481 --> 01:48:10,591
Would I still see suspicion
in your eyes?
2066
01:48:10,727 --> 01:48:14,025
That is what my boy
would expect.
2067
01:48:16,023 --> 01:48:18,696

2068
01:48:18,832 --> 01:48:21,267

what I had always known.
2106
01:51:09,305 --> 01:51:14,711

Yeah. I'm gonna go talk to him,

The greatest show on earth.
2147
01:53:53,028 --> 01:53:57,703
My dear boy, this brainchild
came from you and me,
2148
01:53:57,838 --> 01:54:01,470
but you alone Rose above it
all, and it worked with your talent,
2149
01:54:01,606 --> 01:54:04,909
and your dedication.
[Emotional laugh]
2150
01:54:05,044 --> 01:54:06,572
We did it. We did it!
2151
01:54:06,707 --> 01:54:08,478

[Elvis] No, I'm not the king.

Hey, fats. Mr. Fats domino,

This is the real king

Yeah, I'm somethin' else.

[Reporter] Any plans
to take this show on tour?
2166
01:54:46,652 --> 01:54:48,692
There's so many places
I haven't been yet, you know.
2167
01:54:48,820 --> 01:54:52,619
I'd like to go to Europe.
I'd like to go to Japan.
2168
01:54:52,755 --> 01:54:54,629
I've never been

Oh, Mr. Diskin.
2174
01:55:05,900 --> 01:55:07,436
Have we discussed
with Mr. Hulett,
2175
01:55:07,572 --> 01:55:09,203
pertaining to the death threats?
2176
01:55:09,338 --> 01:55:11,239
The death threats?
2177
01:55:11,375 --> 01:55:13,976

Elvis wants
to take the tour overseas.
2187
01:55:35,096 --> 01:55:38,201
Overseas? Have you thought
about security, Jerry?
2188
01:55:38,337 --> 01:55:40,270
[Jerry] Of course I have.

01:57:53,371 --> 01:57:55,302
you are Elvis Presley.
2238
01:57:55,437 --> 01:57:57,246
You are beloved.
2239
01:57:57,381 --> 01:58:00,107
And I told him I have to
look Priscilla in the eye,
2240
01:58:00,243 --> 01:58:04,977
and I have to promise her
that little Lisa Marie's daddy
2241
01:58:05,113 --> 01:58:08,113
will be safe while
he's away from home.
2242
01:58:08,249 --> 01:58:09,969
We're taking the show
to the world, colonel.
2243
01:58:10,051 --> 01:58:12,227
I ain't gonna disappoint
those fans.
2244
01:58:16,600 --> 01:58:18,665
Well...
2245
01:58:18,800 --> 01:58:23,629
If you want to book more dates,
we could do an American tour,
2246
01:58:23,764 --> 01:58:26,036
15 cities in 15 days,
2247
01:58:26,172 --> 01:58:29,604
while Mr. Hulett straightens out
his security problems overseas.
2248
01:58:29,739 --> 01:58:31,804
I'd like that very much, son.
2249
01:58:31,939 --> 01:58:33,345
How is that gonna be any safer?
2250
01:58:33,481 --> 01:58:35,546
[Parker] Because staying
in this country,
2251
01:58:35,682 --> 01:58:39,448
I can handle every aspect
of security.
2252
01:58:39,584 --> 01:58:41,048
And then we go international?
2253
01:58:41,183 --> 01:58:44,125
Yeah, sure, around the world.
Wherever you want.
2254
01:58:44,261 --> 01:58:45,663
But in the meantime,
here in america,
2255
01:58:45,687 --> 01:58:48,193
we put on a great show.
2256
01:58:48,329 --> 01:58:49,622
And what will we do, Charlie?
2257
01:58:49,757 --> 01:58:51,398
And have a lot of fun.
2258

Taking care of business.

["Burning love"

2261
01:59:05,616 --> 01:59:08,943
[Parker] I'll get guarantees
from every mayor.
2262
01:59:09,078 --> 01:59:11,145
We'll double
the police presence.
2263
01:59:11,281 --> 01:59:13,981
You'll have more security
than the president.
2264

[Crowd cheering]
2265
01:59:16,922 --> 01:59:20,790

my brain is flaming
I don't know which way to go
2269
01:59:37,546 --> 01:59:39,073
[Parker] And when
the show is done,
2270
01:59:39,209 --> 01:59:42,082
the boys will hustle you
to the motorcade.
2271

Elvis has left the building.

[Parker] It was life on the
road, just like the old days.
2279
02:00:03,002 --> 02:00:07,034
We were making so much snow,
we did it again.
2280
02:00:09,242 --> 02:00:10,675
And again.
2281
02:00:11,541 --> 02:00:13,512
And again.

All in the safety
of the us of a.

Eventually, he lost interest
in going overseas.
2284
02:00:24,026 --> 02:00:25,859
Why would you?
2285
02:00:25,994 --> 02:00:30,323
But I still kept my promise.
I brought the world to him.
2286

[Parker] But it wasn't enough.

He was addicted to the love
he felt from you onstage.
2293
02:01:04,534 --> 02:01:07,798
Ordinary love
just didn't compare.

So, in the lonely moments

Thank you. Thank you.

02:07:14,795 --> 02:07:16,875
Now he's gonna ask the house
lights to be brought up,
2413
02:07:16,937 --> 02:07:18,299
'cause we've been
looking at him.
2414

He wants to look at us now.
He loves this.

and tell 'em that
he has abducted me,

in this golden cage,

are no longer required.

but Presley enterprises

so much money.

of everything that I make!

to take the home

to get out of our contract...

with lots going on this weekend.
2578
02:17:55,840 --> 02:17:58,111
Those teen sensations,
the Jacksons,
2579
02:17:58,246 --> 02:17:59,810
are causing a lot of excitement
2580
02:17:59,945 --> 02:18:02,177
with their residency
at the mgm grand.
2581
02:18:02,313 --> 02:18:05,216
And for the older crowd,
Elvis is back for a fifth year.
2582
02:18:05,351 --> 02:18:06,717
And don't we love him.
2583
02:18:06,852 --> 02:18:08,547
[Reporter]
In entertainment news today,
2584
02:18:08,682 --> 02:18:11,002
Elvis Presley is in talks to
play opposite Barbra Streisand
2585
02:18:11,087 --> 02:18:12,857
in a remake of a star is born.
2586
02:18:12,993 --> 02:18:14,536
[Commentator] These days,
when he's not slurring
2587
02:18:14,560 --> 02:18:16,156
on stage in Vegas or playing
2588
02:18:16,291 --> 02:18:18,456
the same old
domestic concert circuit,
2589
02:18:18,592 --> 02:18:20,764
the singer spends weeks
at a time in his bedroom,
2590
02:18:20,899 --> 02:18:22,801
tormented by his
growing waistline.
2591
02:18:22,937 --> 02:18:24,867
Sounds like it won't be
much of a stretch for him
2592
02:18:25,002 --> 02:18:27,166
to play the role
of a washed-up singer.
2593
02:18:30,806 --> 02:18:32,875
Oh, look, here they come.
2594
02:18:35,309 --> 02:18:36,887
- [Vernon] Are you all right?
- [Elvis] Yep.
2595
02:18:36,911 --> 02:18:38,516
All right, daddy loves you.
2596
02:18:38,652 --> 02:18:41,012
- Bye, baby.
- [Vernon] Come on, baby.
2597
02:18:41,147 --> 02:18:42,489
- Bye, papa.
- Good girl.
2598
02:18:42,624 --> 02:18:44,656
- Bye, baby.
- [Vernon] Give me your hand.
2599
02:18:45,828 --> 02:18:47,219
Hi!
2600
02:18:47,355 --> 02:18:49,991
- [Vernon] Here she is.
- Hi, baby. How you doing?
2601
02:18:52,829 --> 02:18:54,360
Want to say goodbye to daddy?
2602
02:18:54,496 --> 02:18:57,504
- [Lisa Marie] Bye, daddy.
- [Priscilla] You're so good.
2603
02:18:59,198 --> 02:19:01,667
Hi. How are you?
How you doing?
2604
02:19:01,803 --> 02:19:03,169
[Vernon] We're okay.
2605
02:19:05,213 --> 02:19:08,240
[Jet engines whirring]
2606
02:19:22,524 --> 02:19:23,728
Hey.
2607
02:19:25,032 --> 02:19:26,192
Hi.
2608
02:19:28,762 --> 02:19:29,965
[Elvis] Hmm.
2609
02:19:35,539 --> 02:19:37,071
How are you doing?
2610
02:19:40,542 --> 02:19:42,043
[Sighs]
2611
02:19:52,254 --> 02:19:55,424
Honey, there's this place
in San Diego
2612
02:19:55,560 --> 02:19:57,157
that you can go to rest.
2613
02:19:58,230 --> 02:19:59,898
To heal.
2614
02:20:00,034 --> 02:20:02,004
After the show, you can fly
directly and be in a clinic
2615
02:20:02,028 --> 02:20:03,069
before anyone knows.
2616
02:20:03,205 --> 02:20:04,395
It's all been arranged.
2617
02:20:06,804 --> 02:20:09,070
I'm gonna be 40 soon, 'cilla.
2618
02:20:11,905 --> 02:20:14,105
[Whispers] Forty.
2619
02:20:14,240 --> 02:20:16,583
And nobody's gonna remember me.
2620
02:20:19,113 --> 02:20:21,115
I never did anything lasting.
2621
02:20:23,618 --> 02:20:26,656
I never made that classic film
that I could be proud of.
2622
02:20:26,791 --> 02:20:28,925
But what about a star is born?
2623
02:20:30,925 --> 02:20:33,226
Uh... [chuckles lightly]
2624
02:20:35,270 --> 02:20:38,396
Barbra... the colonel...
2625
02:20:39,372 --> 02:20:41,333
[Both chuckle]
2626
02:20:44,973 --> 02:20:47,981
[Crying softly] Please go.
2627
02:20:48,116 --> 02:20:50,274
For Lisa?
2628
02:20:50,410 --> 02:20:52,817
If you dream it,
you can do it, baby.
2629
02:20:55,048 --> 02:20:56,755
I'm all out of dreams.
2630
02:20:59,325 --> 02:21:00,990
Promise me.
2631
02:21:03,430 --> 02:21:04,829
[Priscilla sniffles]
2632
02:21:05,496 --> 02:21:06,930
[Light knocking]
2633
02:21:08,433 --> 02:21:09,636
[Exhales]
2634
02:21:35,027 --> 02:21:38,698
[Whispering]
I... will always... love you.
2635
02:21:56,880 --> 02:21:59,719
- Hi, baby.
- [Giggles]
2636
02:22:03,853 --> 02:22:05,956
[Jet engines revving]
2637
02:22:31,252 --> 02:22:32,411
[Imperceptible]
2638
02:22:45,164 --> 02:22:47,533
[Elvis] Did you know
there's a kind of bird
2639
02:22:47,668 --> 02:22:49,865
that doesn't have any legs?
2640
02:22:50,000 --> 02:22:51,903
So it can't land on nothing.
2641
02:22:54,205 --> 02:22:56,303
It lives its whole life
on the wing.
2642
02:22:58,881 --> 02:23:02,644
When it gets tired,
it just spreads its wings
2643
02:23:02,780 --> 02:23:05,147
and sleeps on the wind.
2644
02:23:08,089 --> 02:23:11,450
If it ever does land,
even but one time...
2645
02:23:14,186 --> 02:23:15,795
So it dies.
2646
02:23:19,260 --> 02:23:20,657
[Reporter 1] Good evening.
2647
02:23:20,793 --> 02:23:23,934
Elvis Presley died today.
He was 42.
2648
02:23:24,070 --> 02:23:25,838
Apparently,
it was a heart attack.
2649
02:23:25,973 --> 02:23:27,833
He was found in his home
in Memphis...
2650
02:23:27,968 --> 02:23:30,152
[Reporter 2] President Carter
has just made a statement...
2651
02:23:30,176 --> 02:23:31,736
[President Carter]
Elvis Presley's death
2652
02:23:31,804 --> 02:23:34,109
deprives our country
of a part of itself.
2653
02:23:34,244 --> 02:23:35,872
He was unique and irreplaceable.
2654
02:23:36,008 --> 02:23:37,587
[Reporter 3] Thousands
of mourners have gathered
2655
02:23:37,611 --> 02:23:39,017
outside the gates
of Graceland...
2656
02:23:39,152 --> 02:23:40,792
[Carter] Using the styles
of white country
2657
02:23:40,820 --> 02:23:42,650
and black rhythm and blues,
2658
02:23:42,785 --> 02:23:45,391
permanently changed the face
of American popular culture.
2659
02:23:45,527 --> 02:23:47,887
[Reporter 4] The outpouring of
grief can be seen everywhere.
2660
02:23:47,921 --> 02:23:50,621
[Carter] He was a symbol
to people the world over,
2661
02:23:50,756 --> 02:23:53,665
of the vitality,
rebelliousness...
2662
02:23:53,800 --> 02:23:56,836
[Parker] What killed my boy?
2663
02:23:56,971 --> 02:24:00,065
Them doctors say
it was his heart.
2664
02:24:00,200 --> 02:24:02,540
Others, the pills.
2665
02:24:02,676 --> 02:24:06,076
Some say it was me.
2666
02:24:06,211 --> 02:24:09,849
No. I'll tell you
what killed him.
2667
02:24:11,144 --> 02:24:14,178
It was love.
2668
02:24:14,313 --> 02:24:16,587
His love for you.
2669
02:24:16,723 --> 02:24:18,990
[Faint applause, cheering]
2670
02:24:19,125 --> 02:24:21,662
You know, a few weeks
before he died,
2671
02:24:21,798 --> 02:24:25,696
I saw him sing
for the very last time.
2672
02:24:25,832 --> 02:24:27,999
He could barely stand up.
2673
02:24:29,295 --> 02:24:31,970
"Unchained melody."
2674
02:24:32,105 --> 02:24:35,369
From an album called
unchained melody.
2675
02:24:35,504 --> 02:24:39,375
Makes a lot of sense. Okay.
[Light chuckle]
2676
02:24:39,511 --> 02:24:43,979
[Parker] But that night,
he sang as he always did.
2677
02:24:44,114 --> 02:24:46,319
With all his heart and soul.
2678
02:24:46,455 --> 02:24:47,913
How you like it so far?
2679
02:24:48,048 --> 02:24:50,889
[Crowd cheering]
2680
02:24:51,024 --> 02:24:54,389
[Parker] That old voice
rang out,
2681
02:24:54,524 --> 02:24:59,057
- and he sang with all his life.
- [Piano piano]
2682
02:24:59,192 --> 02:25:04,534
Oh, my love
2683
02:25:04,670 --> 02:25:06,870
my darling
2684
02:25:07,006 --> 02:25:11,169
I've hungered for your touch
2685
02:25:11,305 --> 02:25:17,015
a long, lonely time
2686
02:25:19,883 --> 02:25:25,390
time goes by
2687
02:25:25,526 --> 02:25:28,054
so slowly
2688
02:25:28,190 --> 02:25:32,330
and time can do so much
2689
02:25:32,466 --> 02:25:34,730
are you
2690
02:25:34,865 --> 02:25:39,230
still mine?
2691
02:25:39,366 --> 02:25:46,275
I need your love, ooh
2692
02:25:47,549 --> 02:25:52,452
I need your love
2693
02:25:52,588 --> 02:25:58,016
god speed your love
2694
02:25:58,151 --> 02:26:02,588
to me
2695
02:26:04,297 --> 02:26:11,363
lonely rivers flow to the sea
to the sea
2696
02:26:11,498 --> 02:26:17,607
to the open arms of the sea
2697
02:26:17,742 --> 02:26:19,939
[crowd cheering]
2698
02:26:20,074 --> 02:26:26,986
Lonely rivers cry
wait for me wait for me
2699
02:26:27,986 --> 02:26:31,292
I'll be coming home
2700
02:26:31,427 --> 02:26:36,496
wait for me
2701
02:26:36,632 --> 02:26:41,965
my love, my darling
2702
02:26:42,100 --> 02:26:46,632
I've hungered for your kiss
2703
02:26:47,676 --> 02:26:53,875
a long, lonely time
2704
02:26:54,010 --> 02:26:55,554
[Presley] When I was a
child, ladies and gentlemen,
2705
02:26:55,578 --> 02:26:57,775
I was a dreamer.
I read comic books
2706
02:26:57,911 --> 02:27:00,514
and I was the hero
of the comic book.
2707
02:27:00,650 --> 02:27:03,956
I saw movies and I was
the hero in the movie.
2708
02:27:04,092 --> 02:27:06,055
So every dream
that I ever dreamed
2709
02:27:06,190 --> 02:27:08,456
has come true a hundred times.
2710
02:27:10,127 --> 02:27:16,794
Are you still mine?
2711
02:27:18,366 --> 02:27:25,308
I need your love, ooh
2712
02:27:28,544 --> 02:27:30,916
I learned very early
in life that...
2713
02:27:31,052 --> 02:27:34,019
"Without a song,
the day would never end,
2714
02:27:34,155 --> 02:27:36,780
without a song,
a man ain't got a friend,
2715
02:27:36,916 --> 02:27:40,019
without a song,
the road would never bend,
2716
02:27:40,154 --> 02:27:41,187
without a song."
2717
02:27:41,323 --> 02:27:43,088
So I keep singing a song.
2718
02:27:43,223 --> 02:27:45,892
To...
2719
02:27:46,028 --> 02:27:49,093
Ooh-hoo
2720
02:27:49,229 --> 02:27:53,072
ooh
2721
02:27:53,771 --> 02:27:55,100
me
2722
02:27:55,235 --> 02:27:57,076

[Announcer, faint]
Elvis has left the building.
2729
02:28:49,526 --> 02:28:52,395
["In the ghetto"
by Presley playing]
2730
02:28:54,560 --> 02:28:58,335
As the snow flies
2731
02:29:00,274 --> 02:29:03,175
on a cold and gray
Chicago mornin'
2732
02:29:03,310 --> 02:29:05,512
a poor little baby child is born
2733
02:29:05,647 --> 02:29:07,311
in the ghetto
2734
02:29:10,818 --> 02:29:14,285
and his mama cries
2735
02:29:16,425 --> 02:29:19,420
'cause if there's one thing
that she don't need
2736
02:29:19,556 --> 02:29:22,155
is another hungry mouth to feed
2737
02:29:22,290 --> 02:29:24,361
in the ghetto
2738
02:29:27,232 --> 02:29:29,702
people, don't you understand
2739
02:29:29,838 --> 02:29:33,163
the child needs a helping hand
2740
02:29:33,299 --> 02:29:37,843
or he'll grow to be
an angry young man some day
2741
02:29:37,979 --> 02:29:40,307
take a look at you and me
2742
02:29:40,442 --> 02:29:43,877
are we too blind to see?
2743
02:29:44,013 --> 02:29:49,815
Do we simply turn our heads
and look the other way
2744
02:29:51,519 --> 02:29:55,557
well, the world turns...
2745
02:30:04,804 --> 02:30:07,498
[Presley reciting] "You never
stood in that man's shoes
2746
02:30:07,634 --> 02:30:10,034
or saw things through his eyes
2747
02:30:10,169 --> 02:30:12,603
or stood and watched
with helpless hands
2748
02:30:12,738 --> 02:30:15,543
while the heart inside you dies
2749
02:30:15,679 --> 02:30:18,345

along the way

02:30:30,865 --> 02:30:34,134
and his mama cries
2754
02:30:36,504 --> 02:30:39,272
and a hungry, little boy
with a runny nose
2755
02:30:39,407 --> 02:30:41,773
plays in the street
as the cold wind blows
2756
02:30:41,908 --> 02:30:43,539
in the ghetto
2757
02:30:47,014 --> 02:30:50,711
and his hunger burns
2758
02:30:52,354 --> 02:30:55,378
so he starts to roam
the streets at night
2759
02:30:55,514 --> 02:30:57,855
and he learns how to steal
and he learns how to fight
2760
02:30:57,990 --> 02:30:59,918
in the ghetto
2761
02:31:03,731 --> 02:31:08,935
then one night in desperation
the young man breaks away
2762
02:31:09,070 --> 02:31:11,632
he buys a gun, steals a car
2763
02:31:11,768 --> 02:31:14,906
tries to run,
but he don't get far
2764
02:31:15,041 --> 02:31:18,772
and his mama cries
2765
02:31:21,448 --> 02:31:24,217
["product of the ghetto"
by nardo wick playing]
2766
02:31:43,162 --> 02:31:46,029
On a cold and gray
Chicago mornin'
2767
02:31:46,165 --> 02:31:49,676
another little baby child

2768
02:31:49,811 --> 02:31:51,640
in the ghetto
2769
02:32:02,088 --> 02:32:05,192
And his mama cries

02:32:15,361 --> 02:32:17,501
["Summer kisses, winter tears"
by Presley playing]
2771
02:32:19,932 --> 02:32:23,870
Summer kisses, winter tears
2772

summer kisses, winter tears
2773
02:32:33,319 --> 02:32:37,685
that was what she gave to me
2774
02:32:37,821 --> 02:32:41,685
never thought
I'd travel all alone
2775
02:32:41,821 --> 02:32:47,993
the trail of memories

["the king and I" by eminem

that's all I can do
2788
02:35:50,182 --> 02:35:53,679
that's all for the moment
if that's all right with you
2789
02:35:53,814 --> 02:35:55,880
that's all right, mama
2790
02:35:56,016 --> 02:35:58,057
that's all right with you
2791
02:35:58,192 --> 02:35:59,884

that's all right now, mama
anyway you do
2795
02:36:10,898 --> 02:36:14,535
we can't go on together

with suspicious minds
2797
02:36:19,105 --> 02:36:23,049
and we can't build our dreams
2798
02:36:23,185 --> 02:36:26,145
on suspicious minds

["If I can dream"
by maneskin playing]
2800
02:36:46,204 --> 02:36:52,402
There must be peace
and understanding sometime
2801
02:36:53,875 --> 02:36:55,912
strong winds of promise
2802
02:36:56,047 --> 02:37:01,483
that will blow away
the doubt and fear
2803
02:37:01,619 --> 02:37:05,888
if I can dream of a warmer sun
2804
02:37:06,024 --> 02:37:09,458
where hope keeps shining
on everyone
2805
02:37:09,594 --> 02:37:13,090
tell me why, oh, why,
2806
02:37:13,225 --> 02:37:20,067
oh, why won't that sun appear
2807
02:37:26,105 --> 02:37:28,812
We're lost in a cloud
2808
02:37:29,910 --> 02:37:33,747
with too much rain
2809
02:37:33,882 --> 02:37:37,421
we're trapped in a world
2810
02:37:37,557 --> 02:37:41,288
that's troubled with pain
2811
02:37:41,424 --> 02:37:47,331
but as long as a man
has the strength to dream
2812
02:37:47,467 --> 02:37:54,365
he can redeem his soul and fly
2813

Deep in my heart,
there's a trembling question
2815
02:38:06,720 --> 02:38:10,321
still I am sure that the answers
2816
02:38:10,457 --> 02:38:13,826
the answers gonna come somehow
2817
02:38:13,961 --> 02:38:21,568
out there in the dark,
there's a beckoning candle
2818
02:38:21,703 --> 02:38:25,528
and while I can think,
while I can talk
2819
02:38:25,663 --> 02:38:29,736
while I can stand,
while I can walk
2820
02:38:29,871 --> 02:38:32,403
while I can dream
2821
02:38:33,414 --> 02:38:36,110
please let my dream
2822
02:38:37,317 --> 02:38:41,687
come true
2823
