Mike, right here.
1:09:02
Is there any truth to the rumour
that the assassination attempt was filmed?
1:09:07
Yes, there was a documentary film-maker
present at the scene of the crime
1:09:11
and we are now in possession of that film.
1:09:15
[Reporter] Does the film identify the assassin?
1:09:18
I have no answer for that question at this time.
1:09:21
The film is being analysed.
We will inform you as soon as we know.
1:09:25
It was Raplin. I was standing
right behind him. I saw him shoot Bob.
1:09:30
The fact that men like Raplin exist
shows what you get with a liberal agenda.
1:09:34
You pump people full of drugs
and they come gunning for people like Bob.
1:09:38
But they don't realise you can't kill the truth.
Bob Roberts won't be stopped by any bullet.
1:09:44
He'll be back and you'd better watch out.
He's headed straight for Washington.
1:09:48
That's all I've got to say.
Excuse me. I have to go pray.
1:09:52
[Clamour of questions]
1:09:57
The film offers no concrete evidence
of any kind regarding my client.
1:10:01
Mr Raplin asserts that the gun
was placed on him at the scene,
1:10:04
that he was set up.
1:10:06
- Who did it if not Raplin?
- That's for the police to find out.
1:10:09
I'm just representing the accused.
1:10:11
Is it true that the assassin was a card-carrying
member of the American Civil Liberties Union?
1:10:15
- I do not know. If he was, so what?
- Will Raplin be released?
1:10:19
No. There are witnesses who say he pulled
the trigger. He's being held without bail.
1:10:24
That's all for now. Thank you.
1:10:26
[Terry] After the attack on Bob's life,
the media outcry is unprecedented.
1:10:31
His face echoes across
the American landscape,
1:10:33
on the covers of magazines,
in newspapers and on TV news broadcasts.
1:10:38
Roberts is proclaimed an American hero,
a martyr of the new right,
1:10:43
a crippled prophet for the future.
1:10:47
[Crowd] We want Bob!
1:10:49
[Terry] A week after the shooting,
Bob is to be released
1:10:52
and transported to Pennsylvania by
Medevac helicopter in time for the election.
1:10:56
He's coming from the back.
1:10:59
Let's go!
