Oh, let our love survive

00:00:09,276 --> 00:00:13,180
I'll dry the tears
from your eyes
4
00:00:14,582 --> 00:00:19,219
Let's don't let
a good thing die
5

[woman singing]
Snowman's coming
6
00:00:38,405 --> 00:00:41,375
Yes, he's coming
7
00:00:41,441 --> 00:00:46,213
He'll take you by the hand
8
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,017
He'll say one, two, three

10
00:00:50,384 --> 00:00:52,654
And you will be...

00:00:53,453 --> 00:00:58,560
In cotton candy land
12
00:00:58,626 --> 00:01:00,828
[man] For those of you
who are wondering,
13
00:01:00,895 --> 00:01:03,831
who this fella here is,
14
00:01:03,898 --> 00:01:09,704
I am the legendary
Colonel Tom Parker.
15
00:01:22,016 --> 00:01:24,151
[newscaster]
Colonel Tom Parker,
legendary manager
16
00:01:24,217 --> 00:01:28,121
of Elvis Presley, has been
rushed to Valley Hospital.
17
00:01:28,188 --> 00:01:32,994
[Parker] I am the man who
gave the world Elvis Presley.
18
00:01:33,061 --> 00:01:34,996
[siren wailing]
19
00:01:35,063 --> 00:01:40,969
Without me, there would be
no Elvis Presley.
20
00:01:41,035 --> 00:01:42,704
And yet, there are some
21
00:01:42,770 --> 00:01:46,273
who'd make me out
to be the villain
22
00:01:46,340 --> 00:01:48,275
of this here story.
23
00:01:55,783 --> 00:01:59,353
["Suspicious Minds" by

24
00:02:02,957 --> 00:02:07,662
[newscaster 1]
Colonel Tom Parker
was a liar, a cheat, a con man.
25
00:02:07,729 --> 00:02:11,231
A shocking new book
accuses Colonel Tom Parker
26
00:02:11,298 --> 00:02:13,901
of massive fraud
and mis-management.
27
00:02:16,470 --> 00:02:20,374
Parker received as much
as 50% of Elvis' income.
28
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,275
He worked Elvis like a mule,
29
00:02:22,342 --> 00:02:23,978
to support his own
gambling addiction.
30
00:02:24,045 --> 00:02:25,813
[newscaster 2] The court finds
that the compensation received
31
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,849
by Colonel Parker
was excessive,
32
00:02:27,915 --> 00:02:29,717
and shocked the conscience
of the court.
33
00:02:29,784 --> 00:02:31,586
[newscaster 1] Many believe
that Colonel Tom Parker
34
00:02:31,653 --> 00:02:34,689
was responsible for the death
of Elvis Presley.
35
00:02:36,289 --> 00:02:37,759
[Parker] Now, you listen to me.
36
00:02:37,825 --> 00:02:41,095
The only thing that matters
is that that man
37
00:02:41,161 --> 00:02:43,497
gets up on that stage tonight.

His truth is marching on
46
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,050
[newscaster, voice echoing]
Tom Parker killed him!
47
00:04:09,117 --> 00:04:12,220
No! That's not true.
48
00:04:12,285 --> 00:04:14,488
[breath shaking]
49
00:04:19,060 --> 00:04:20,628
[grunting]
50
00:04:25,032 --> 00:04:29,504
No, no, I didn't kill him.
51
00:04:32,039 --> 00:04:34,441
I made Elvis Presley.
52
00:04:36,544 --> 00:04:40,380
Nothing all those muckrakers
said in their books was true.
53
00:04:40,447 --> 00:04:42,850
Me and Elvis, we was partners.
54
00:04:42,917 --> 00:04:48,890
It was Elvis the Showman
and the Colonel the Snowman.
55
00:04:48,956 --> 00:04:50,825
[female reporter]
This is the lying Dutchman.
56
00:04:50,892 --> 00:04:54,028
[Parker] I always knew I was
destined for greatness.
57
00:04:54,095 --> 00:04:56,931
As an orphan,
I ran away to the carnival,
58
00:04:56,998 --> 00:04:59,967
where I learned the art
of the "snow job,"
59
00:05:00,034 --> 00:05:03,137
of emptying a rube's wallet
while leaving them with nothing
60
00:05:03,204 --> 00:05:05,840
-but a smile on their face.
-[applause]
61
00:05:05,907 --> 00:05:07,708
But a carnival act
that would get you
62
00:05:07,775 --> 00:05:10,477
the most money, the most snow,
63
00:05:10,545 --> 00:05:14,115
had great costumes
and a unique trick,
64
00:05:14,182 --> 00:05:15,883
that gave the audience feelings
65
00:05:15,950 --> 00:05:19,386
they weren't sure
they should enjoy.
66
00:05:19,452 --> 00:05:21,454
But they do.
67
00:05:21,522 --> 00:05:26,627
And I knew if I could
find such an act,
68
00:05:26,694 --> 00:05:30,798
I could create the greatest...
69
00:05:30,865 --> 00:05:32,166
show...
70
00:05:32,233 --> 00:05:33,433
on...
71
00:05:34,168 --> 00:05:36,704
earth.
72
00:05:36,771 --> 00:05:40,274
After the carnival, I moved
into the music business...
73
00:05:40,340 --> 00:05:42,877
the country music business.
74
00:05:42,944 --> 00:05:47,447
I partnered with one of its
biggest stars, Hank Snow.
75
00:05:47,515 --> 00:05:53,187
Pardon me
if I'm sentimental
76
00:05:53,254 --> 00:05:55,323
When we say goodbye
77
00:05:55,388 --> 00:06:00,027
[Parker] And his hapless son,
Jimmie Rodgers Snow.
78
00:06:00,094 --> 00:06:01,095
Hot-diggity-dog, Billy.
79
00:06:01,162 --> 00:06:03,064
-I got one.
-Oh, yeah.
80
00:06:03,130 --> 00:06:06,067
Can't believe it.
Blow their socks off.
81
00:06:06,133 --> 00:06:08,169
Security. Security, Diskin!
82
00:06:08,236 --> 00:06:11,272
Tell the mayors of these towns
that we need a police escort
83
00:06:11,339 --> 00:06:12,840
for Hank when he arrives.
84
00:06:12,907 --> 00:06:16,143
In Baton Rouge, we are going
to have a carny wedding
85
00:06:16,210 --> 00:06:17,645
at the top of the Ferris Wheel,
86
00:06:17,712 --> 00:06:19,847
so, Zina, pick out
your next husband.
87
00:06:19,914 --> 00:06:22,482
In New Orleans, we're gonna
use the loudspeaker
88
00:06:22,550 --> 00:06:24,552
-to announce you, Hank.
-[Hank] Oh, sure.
89
00:06:24,619 --> 00:06:26,921
[speaking Ciazarn]
90
00:06:26,988 --> 00:06:28,388
[in English]
...you are going to march
in the parade.
91
00:06:28,455 --> 00:06:29,757
[both speaking Ciazarn]
92
00:06:29,824 --> 00:06:31,759
Am I gonna be riding
on an elephant, too?
93
00:06:31,826 --> 00:06:34,095
A man on an elephant
looks important.
94
00:06:34,161 --> 00:06:35,363
And taller.
95
00:06:35,428 --> 00:06:36,731
We still need to get
a novelty act
96
00:06:36,797 --> 00:06:38,599
-to bring in the young folk.
-Well, yes, yes,
97
00:06:38,666 --> 00:06:41,636
that's why you have
a meeting with
the Duke of Paducah tonight.
98
00:06:41,702 --> 00:06:43,905
If we can book "the Funniest
Mouth in the South,"
99
00:06:43,971 --> 00:06:45,405
we'll have the greatest show
of the season.
100
00:06:45,472 --> 00:06:46,574
Hey, Jimmie,
turn that record off.
101
00:06:46,641 --> 00:06:48,109
Y'all have to hear this.
102
00:06:48,175 --> 00:06:50,011
Kids all over town
are playing it everywhere I go.

["That's All Right"
by Presley playing]
104
00:06:57,818 --> 00:06:59,419
I hear Negro rhythms.
105
00:06:59,486 --> 00:07:01,055
But with a country flavor.
106
00:07:01,122 --> 00:07:03,624
Sun Records?
That's Sam Phillips' label.
107
00:07:03,691 --> 00:07:05,226
[Parker] Oh, yeah, Phillips.
108
00:07:05,293 --> 00:07:08,129
He makes all those race records
with the colored singers.
109
00:07:08,195 --> 00:07:10,231
Well, this fella's
on the Hayride tonight,
110
00:07:10,298 --> 00:07:11,899
after me in the newcomer spot.
111
00:07:11,966 --> 00:07:13,234
In Shreveport?
112
00:07:13,301 --> 00:07:16,137
No, they are not putting
a colored boy on the Hayride.
113
00:07:16,203 --> 00:07:19,472
That's the thing. He's white.
114
00:07:19,974 --> 00:07:21,509
He's...
115
00:07:23,411 --> 00:07:24,812
He's white?
116

Texarkana?
117

if you do ten stupid things,

one smart one.

they're buyin' his record.

would I find such an act?

Excuse me. Bill, go time!

00:08:53,768 --> 00:08:55,903
[Bill] I know, I know.
146
00:08:55,970 --> 00:08:57,571
-[girl] Hi!
-How's his stomach?
147
00:08:57,638 --> 00:08:58,973
I thought I'd grab him a Pepsi,
148
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:00,975
but poor thing's still shaking
like a leaf.
149
00:09:01,042 --> 00:09:03,944
I'll get him on the stage.
Come on. Let's go.

-[Elvis groans]
-Here.
151
00:09:07,681 --> 00:09:08,983
It'll settle your stomach.
152
00:09:09,050 --> 00:09:10,851
[Elvis] What if I forget
the words on live radio?
153
00:09:10,918 --> 00:09:13,187
All we gotta do out there's
just a bit of clownin' around.
154
00:09:13,254 --> 00:09:15,956
That's how we got this thing
started in the first place.
155
00:09:16,023 --> 00:09:17,758
Scotty and Bill are right,
Elvis.
156
00:09:17,825 --> 00:09:19,226
You're not out there
on your own.

-You boys are a band.
-[Scotty] That's right.

[Gladys] The Lord gave us music
to bring people together.
159

We're like a family,
160
00:09:24,331 --> 00:09:26,400
and family is the most
important thing of all.
161
00:09:26,467 --> 00:09:27,968
[Vernon] Amen.
162
00:09:28,035 --> 00:09:31,739
Come on now, Booby.
Jesse's shining bright tonight.
163
00:09:31,806 --> 00:09:34,543

upon you.

[Parker] Jesse, Elvis's twin
brother, who died at birth.
167
00:09:49,757 --> 00:09:51,325
Tragic.
168
00:09:51,392 --> 00:09:53,494
[doctor] Vernon, come quick!
It's another child!
169
00:09:53,562 --> 00:09:57,098
[Gladys] My darling,
you'll have
the strength of two men.
170
00:09:57,164 --> 00:09:59,900
[Parker] But when
my boy's daddy
passed a bad check
171
00:09:59,967 --> 00:10:01,368
and got carted off
to prison...
172
00:10:01,435 --> 00:10:03,104
[young Elvis shouting]
173
00:10:03,170 --> 00:10:04,839
...the boy and his mama had
to take one of the houses
174
00:10:04,905 --> 00:10:07,141
for white folks
in a colored neighborhood.
175
00:10:07,208 --> 00:10:08,809
[neighbor kid]
New boy! Come over!
176
00:10:08,876 --> 00:10:10,845
[Parker] But that boy
had a big imagination.
177
00:10:10,911 --> 00:10:12,313
[young Elvis speaking]
178
00:10:12,379 --> 00:10:14,148
[Parker] He really believed
he was the hero
179
00:10:14,215 --> 00:10:16,150
-in one of them comic books.
-[young Elvis speaking]
180
00:10:16,217 --> 00:10:18,953
[Parker] He was going to bust
his daddy out of the hoosegow
181
00:10:19,019 --> 00:10:22,890
and fly him
to the Rock of Eternity!
182
00:10:22,957 --> 00:10:25,426
[young Elvis] Then he buys
his mama a pink Cadillac.
183
00:10:25,493 --> 00:10:28,062
[Tupelo boy] Pink Cadillac?
What are you talking about?
184
00:10:28,129 --> 00:10:29,763
Hey, fools! Whoo!

00:10:39,673 --> 00:10:43,477
[Parker] Them comic book heroes
all have them super powers.
189
00:10:43,545 --> 00:10:47,047
His was music.
190
00:10:47,114 --> 00:10:55,256
That's all right, Mama
That's all right with you

00:10:55,322 --> 00:11:02,429

201
00:11:49,910 --> 00:11:54,583
[all] Oh, I'll fly away
Oh, Glory
202
00:11:54,649 --> 00:11:57,384
I'll fly away
203
00:11:57,451 --> 00:11:58,786
When I die
204
00:11:58,852 --> 00:12:02,756
When I die
Hallelujah, by and by

[Tupelo boy 2]

[revival singer]
No more preachin', I'll fly
211
00:12:14,935 --> 00:12:16,070
No more pain, I'll fly

[Elvis singing]
I'll fly away
213
00:12:17,706 --> 00:12:19,406
[Tupelo boy]
Hey, fool, come back.
214
00:12:20,407 --> 00:12:22,843
No. He's with the spirit!
215
00:12:23,578 --> 00:12:24,745
It's all right.
216
00:12:24,812 --> 00:12:27,348
[vocalizing]
217
00:12:29,618 --> 00:12:32,554
Ohh

00:12:32,621 --> 00:12:35,590
Black snake
crawlin' in my room
219
00:12:35,657 --> 00:12:37,191
[woman] Whoo!
220
00:12:37,258 --> 00:12:41,195
That's all right, Mama
That's all right with you
221
00:12:41,262 --> 00:12:43,330
[man] That's all right, Mama
222
00:12:43,397 --> 00:12:45,132
Anyway you choose

00:12:45,199 --> 00:12:49,270
[Elvis singing]
I'll fly away, oh, Glory
224
00:12:49,336 --> 00:12:52,406
I'll fly away
225
00:12:52,473 --> 00:12:54,275
Oh, away
226
00:12:54,341 --> 00:12:56,977

-Ohhh
-[Elvis] I'll fly away
228
00:13:00,314 --> 00:13:02,584
Elvis. Come on,
you gotta get on in.
229
00:13:02,651 --> 00:13:03,984
They've already announced you
on the radio.
230
00:13:04,051 --> 00:13:06,554
Folks are real excited.
231
00:13:06,621 --> 00:13:09,290
[Parker] At Sun Records,
Sam Phillips was on a mission
232
00:13:09,356 --> 00:13:12,727
to save the world
by recording Black music.
233
00:13:12,793 --> 00:13:14,895
But it didn't sell.
234
00:13:14,962 --> 00:13:16,430
So to pay his bills,
235
00:13:16,497 --> 00:13:20,167
he needed to find a new singer
for his country act.
236
00:13:20,234 --> 00:13:23,103
I don't know what it is
you see in this boy.
237
00:13:23,170 --> 00:13:25,906
I just think he's different.
238
00:13:26,574 --> 00:13:28,842
[feedback squealing]
239
00:13:29,977 --> 00:13:33,013
How do you know
"Big Boy" Crudup?
240
00:13:35,182 --> 00:13:39,019
That's all right, Mama
That's all right for you
241
00:13:39,086 --> 00:13:42,456
That's all right, Mama
Anyway you do
242
00:13:42,524 --> 00:13:46,360
That's all right
That's all right
243
00:13:46,427 --> 00:13:51,265
That's all right now, Mama
Anyway you do
244
00:13:51,332 --> 00:13:53,568
[congregation continues
singing]
245
00:13:55,269 --> 00:13:57,471
He's a young singer
from Memphis, Tennessee.
246
00:13:57,539 --> 00:14:02,142
Got a song out
on the Sun label.
It's all over the radio.
247
00:14:02,209 --> 00:14:06,914
Give him a warm Hayride welcome
to a Mr. Elvis Presley.
248
00:14:09,850 --> 00:14:12,219
[all singing]
249
00:14:12,286 --> 00:14:14,188
[revival singer vocalizing]
250
00:14:15,790 --> 00:14:17,925
[young Elvis panting rapidly]
251
00:14:22,896 --> 00:14:25,899
[music crescendos, ceases]
252
00:14:25,966 --> 00:14:28,001
[emcee] Elvis,
how are you this evening?
253
00:14:28,068 --> 00:14:29,504
Just fine, how you, sir?
254
00:14:29,571 --> 00:14:34,274
[Parker] Greasy hair,
girly makeup.
255
00:14:34,341 --> 00:14:37,512
I cannot overstate
how strange he looked.
256
00:14:37,579 --> 00:14:39,614
[emcee] Are you all geared up
with your band there to...
257
00:14:39,681 --> 00:14:41,850
-I'm all geared up.
-...let us hear your songs?
258
00:14:41,915 --> 00:14:44,819
Uh... well, I'd like to say how
happy we are to be down here.
259
00:14:44,885 --> 00:14:46,621
It's a real honor
for us to be...
260
00:14:46,688 --> 00:14:48,757
Get a chance to appear
on the Louisiana Hayride.
261
00:14:48,823 --> 00:14:51,626
We're gonna do a song for you
we got out on Sun Records.
262
00:14:51,693 --> 00:14:54,061
Uh...
263
00:14:54,128 --> 00:14:55,563
You got anything else
to say, sir?
264
00:14:55,630 --> 00:14:57,965
No. I'm ready.
265
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,401
[exhales nervously]
266
00:15:01,001 --> 00:15:03,505
[breath shaking]
267
00:15:03,571 --> 00:15:05,305
It goes...
268
00:15:05,372 --> 00:15:07,374
It goes something like this.
269
00:15:10,244 --> 00:15:11,145
[feedback squealing]
270
00:15:11,211 --> 00:15:12,479
Oh, baby, baby,
271
00:15:12,547 --> 00:15:14,816
Baby, baby, baby
272
00:15:14,883 --> 00:15:16,851
Baby, baby, baby
273
00:15:16,917 --> 00:15:17,985
[hesitant strumming]
274
00:15:18,051 --> 00:15:20,354
Baby, baby, baby
275
00:15:21,188 --> 00:15:22,657
Baby, baby, baby
276
00:15:22,724 --> 00:15:24,158
[feedback continues]
277
00:15:24,224 --> 00:15:27,394
Come back, baby
I wanna play house with you
278
00:15:28,095 --> 00:15:29,831
Get a haircut, fairy!
279
00:15:29,898 --> 00:15:32,166
[laughter]
280
00:15:35,235 --> 00:15:37,739
[Parker] In that moment,
in a flash of lightning,
281
00:15:37,806 --> 00:15:40,775
I watched that skinny boy
in the pink suit
282
00:15:40,842 --> 00:15:44,612
transform into a superhero.
283
00:15:44,679 --> 00:15:49,983
Well, you may go to college
You may go to school
284
00:15:50,050 --> 00:15:53,655
You may have a pink Cadillac
But don't you be
nobody's fool
285
00:15:53,721 --> 00:15:56,724
Now, baby
Come back, baby, come
286
00:15:56,791 --> 00:15:58,425
Come back, baby, come
287
00:15:58,492 --> 00:16:02,597
Come back, baby
I wanna play house with you
288
00:16:02,664 --> 00:16:04,833
Well, listen and
I'll tell you, baby
289
00:16:04,899 --> 00:16:06,467
What I'm talking about
290
00:16:06,534 --> 00:16:08,268
[panting]
291
00:16:08,335 --> 00:16:11,038
Come on back to me,
little girl
So we can play some house
292
00:16:11,104 --> 00:16:12,139
[shrieks]
293
00:16:12,206 --> 00:16:13,808
Baby, come back, baby, come
294
00:16:13,875 --> 00:16:15,075

[shrieking]
296
00:16:16,644 --> 00:16:18,278
Come back, baby
I wanna play house with you
297
00:16:18,345 --> 00:16:20,515
Wanna play house!
298
00:16:20,582 --> 00:16:23,050
-What are they hollerin' at?
-The wiggle!
299
00:16:23,116 --> 00:16:24,284
The what?
300
00:16:24,351 --> 00:16:25,653
Them girls
wanna see you wiggle.
301
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:26,788
Move, man!
302
00:16:26,855 --> 00:16:28,823
-Do more!
-Much more!
303
00:16:28,890 --> 00:16:29,958
Man!
304
00:16:30,023 --> 00:16:31,526
Do it again.
305
00:16:31,593 --> 00:16:32,993
[women screaming]
306
00:16:33,060 --> 00:16:37,498
Well, this is one thing, baby
That I want you to know
307
00:16:37,565 --> 00:16:39,399
Come on back
Let's play a little house
308
00:16:39,466 --> 00:16:40,935
And we can do
what we did before
309
00:16:41,001 --> 00:16:41,936
Now, baby
310
00:16:42,002 --> 00:16:42,937
Sit down!
311
00:16:43,003 --> 00:16:44,338
Come back, baby, come
312
00:16:44,404 --> 00:16:46,941
Come back, baby, come
Come back, baby
313
00:16:47,007 --> 00:16:48,710
What in God's sweet name
am I looking at?
314
00:16:48,776 --> 00:16:49,777
Hit it!
315
00:16:50,945 --> 00:16:53,413
[loud guitar riff playing]
316
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,349
[screaming]
317
00:17:03,257 --> 00:17:04,759
[shrieking]
318
00:17:09,998 --> 00:17:12,667
[loud scream]
319
00:17:19,641 --> 00:17:21,543
What were you thinking,
Jimmie?
320
00:17:23,878 --> 00:17:25,245
I don't know what I'm thinking.
321
00:17:26,915 --> 00:17:30,250
Please, Lord,
don't let 'em hurt my baby.
322
00:17:30,317 --> 00:17:32,587
Hurt him?
Looks like they wanna--
323
00:17:35,623 --> 00:17:39,827
[slow echoing]
Baby, baby, baby, baby,
baby
324
00:17:39,894 --> 00:17:43,731
[Parker] Now, I don't
know nothin' about music...
325
00:17:43,798 --> 00:17:45,365
[faint breathy gasps]
326
00:17:45,432 --> 00:17:48,870
...but I could see
in that girl's eyes,
327
00:17:48,937 --> 00:17:50,572
that she was having feelings
328
00:17:50,638 --> 00:17:53,541
she wasn't sure
she should enjoy.
329
00:17:53,608 --> 00:17:56,811
[Crudup singing faintly]
Black snake crawlin' in my room
330
00:17:56,878 --> 00:17:58,513
[Parker] Yes.
331
00:18:01,348 --> 00:18:05,285
He was a taste
of forbidden fruit.
332
00:18:06,420 --> 00:18:10,223
She could've eaten him alive.
333
00:18:13,728 --> 00:18:15,530
[all shrieking]
334
00:18:24,404 --> 00:18:27,742
Why are you trying
to kill my son?
335
00:18:27,809 --> 00:18:30,011
[Parker] It was the greatest
carnival attraction
336
00:18:30,078 --> 00:18:31,980
I'd ever seen.
337
00:18:32,046 --> 00:18:34,481
He was my destiny.
338
00:18:34,549 --> 00:18:39,486
Right under my nose...
In Memphis.
339
00:18:41,656 --> 00:18:43,390
[Memphis DJ] Top of the morning
to you, friends,
340
00:18:43,457 --> 00:18:45,627
from the home of colorful,
old Beale Street.
341
00:18:45,693 --> 00:18:48,863
The place where the blues began
in Memphis, Tennessee,
342
00:18:48,930 --> 00:18:51,398
Where you see pretty browns
dressed in beautiful gowns,
343
00:18:51,465 --> 00:18:53,968
along with tailor-mades
and hand-me-downs.
344
00:18:54,035 --> 00:18:56,638
Where you see honest men
and pickpockets skilled,
345
00:18:56,704 --> 00:18:59,439
and business never closes
till somebody gets killed.
346
00:18:59,507 --> 00:19:01,141
Now, just kidding.
347
00:19:01,208 --> 00:19:03,711
But there's a lot goin' down
on Beale Street tonight,
348
00:19:03,778 --> 00:19:05,913
and nowhere more-so
than at the Club Handy.
349
00:19:05,980 --> 00:19:08,016
Come around if you wanna see
Big Mama Thornton,
350
00:19:08,082 --> 00:19:10,484
layin' down her newest hit.
351
00:19:10,551 --> 00:19:11,853
[Thornton singing]
Get it, get it
352
00:19:11,919 --> 00:19:12,854
[saxophonist] Get it! Come on!
353
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:14,622
Oh, let's do it
354
00:19:14,689 --> 00:19:18,191
[Memphis DJ] Now, listen up,
while Brown America speaks.
355
00:19:18,258 --> 00:19:22,597
You ain't nothin'
but a hound dog
356
00:19:22,664 --> 00:19:24,464
Quit snoopin'
'round my door
357
00:19:26,366 --> 00:19:28,936
[Thornton continues singing]
358
00:19:32,907 --> 00:19:37,545
[Parker] Just why
a truck driver
from Memphis, Tennessee,
359
00:19:37,612 --> 00:19:41,149
liked to hang out
on Beale Street, I do not know.
360
00:19:41,214 --> 00:19:45,218
You told me
you was high class
But I could see through that...
361
00:19:45,285 --> 00:19:47,522
[Parker]
But it did him no favors,
362
00:19:47,588 --> 00:19:51,458
fitting into them
white housing projects.
363
00:19:51,526 --> 00:19:54,162
Hey, squirrel. Nice shoes.
364
00:19:54,227 --> 00:20:01,268
And, Daddy, I know
That you ain't
no real cool cat
365
00:20:01,936 --> 00:20:03,403
Hey, Elvis!
366
00:20:03,470 --> 00:20:06,841
["Vegas" by Doja Cat playing]
367
00:20:10,477 --> 00:20:12,146
[girl] Hey, Tommy.
368
00:20:12,212 --> 00:20:14,481
That's that boy whose record
everybody's talkin' about.
369
00:20:20,922 --> 00:20:23,591
You ain't nothin'
but a hound dog
370
00:20:41,809 --> 00:20:46,147
[boy] Hey, sideburns.
Where's the Negro suit today?
371
00:20:46,214 --> 00:20:51,018
[Parker] He was crazy
for that Beale Street music.
372
00:20:51,085 --> 00:20:53,688
Beale Street style.
373
00:20:53,755 --> 00:20:57,158
He had Beale Street stars
in his eyes.
374
00:20:57,225 --> 00:20:59,160
What do you think, Tony? Huh?
375
00:20:59,227 --> 00:21:00,795
B.B. King.
376
00:21:00,862 --> 00:21:05,499
No, I didn't take my boy away
from nothin'.
377
00:21:05,566 --> 00:21:08,970
He was runnin'
from the day he was born.
378
00:21:09,036 --> 00:21:13,440
I just opened the door
to our destiny.
379
00:21:13,508 --> 00:21:16,644
[Gladys] So without so much as
a word to your daddy and me,
380
00:21:16,711 --> 00:21:18,179
you quit your job
to go traveling
381
00:21:18,246 --> 00:21:20,882
all the way to Florida
with this Colonel fellow
382
00:21:20,948 --> 00:21:22,583
that we have never met.
383
00:21:22,650 --> 00:21:24,185
Mama, it's only four days.
384
00:21:24,252 --> 00:21:26,687
Yeah, four days.
And then what?
385
00:21:26,754 --> 00:21:30,290
I knew a fella once,
got his record on the radio.
386
00:21:30,357 --> 00:21:32,560
It was all over in a flash.
387
00:21:32,627 --> 00:21:35,663
Mama, I'm just trying
to take care of you and Daddy.
388
00:21:35,730 --> 00:21:37,665
That's all I have
ever cared about.
389
00:21:37,732 --> 00:21:39,432
I ain't ever gonna let us
get back to a place again
390
00:21:39,499 --> 00:21:40,735
where Daddy gets in trouble
with the law
391
00:21:40,802 --> 00:21:42,637
-to put food on the table.
-Elvis!
392
00:21:43,538 --> 00:21:44,939
How dare you?
393
00:21:45,706 --> 00:21:46,941
As the good Lord warns us,
394
00:21:47,008 --> 00:21:49,544
do not wear yourself out
to get rich.
395
00:21:49,610 --> 00:21:53,714
Do not trust your own
goddamn cleverness!
396
00:21:53,781 --> 00:21:56,250
[sighs]
397
00:21:56,316 --> 00:21:59,486
Elvis, you've upset your mama.
398
00:22:09,831 --> 00:22:11,431
[shaky sigh]
399
00:22:12,733 --> 00:22:14,502
You know, Mama,
I was thinkin',
400
00:22:14,569 --> 00:22:16,571
maybe I'll buy you one of them
pink Cadillacs
401
00:22:16,637 --> 00:22:18,906
like you saw back when
you was working
at the hospital.
402
00:22:19,841 --> 00:22:21,943
I don't need no pink Cadillac.
403
00:22:23,376 --> 00:22:25,713
Satnin, I just gotta be making
404
00:22:25,780 --> 00:22:27,347
the most of this thing
while I can.
405
00:22:27,414 --> 00:22:30,450
It's like Daddy says, this
could all be over in a flash.
406
00:22:30,518 --> 00:22:33,321
I'm not fearful
of it being over, Booby.
407
00:22:33,420 --> 00:22:36,324
I don't know how to explain it.
408
00:22:36,389 --> 00:22:40,061
But I saw it
in that girl's eyes.
409
00:22:40,127 --> 00:22:44,464
It's something beyond us,
but I know that whatever it is,
410
00:22:44,532 --> 00:22:47,034
it's something that...
411
00:22:47,101 --> 00:22:49,804
It's something
that can come between us.
412
00:22:49,871 --> 00:22:53,341
-[crying softly]
-Oh, no, Mama, no. Hey.
413
00:22:53,406 --> 00:22:55,408
Ain't nothing ever
gonna do that.
414
00:22:55,475 --> 00:22:58,546
You're my girl. My Satnin.
415
00:22:58,613 --> 00:23:01,082
You'll always be
my bestest girl.
416
00:23:01,148 --> 00:23:02,984
Hey.
417
00:23:03,050 --> 00:23:05,786
-Yeah.
-Yeah?
418
00:23:05,853 --> 00:23:09,123
-[trembling sigh]
-I will call you every night.
419
00:23:12,159 --> 00:23:14,095
Will you promise me, Booby?
420
00:23:15,029 --> 00:23:16,864
I promise.
421
00:23:16,931 --> 00:23:19,499
I promise. I promise,
I promise.
422
00:23:19,567 --> 00:23:21,602
-All right. I love you.
-Bye, baby.
423
00:23:21,669 --> 00:23:23,337
[Elvis] Nothing but nothing...
424
00:23:23,403 --> 00:23:24,437
I love you.
425
00:23:24,505 --> 00:23:25,907
...is gonna come between us.
426
00:23:25,973 --> 00:23:28,209
-[Scotty] Let's go!
-[Gladys] Bye, Booby!
427
00:23:28,276 --> 00:23:29,810
See you soon!
428
00:23:30,477 --> 00:23:33,281
Wanna bet? [laughs]
429
00:23:33,347 --> 00:23:36,717
Well, it's one for the money
Two for the show
430
00:23:36,784 --> 00:23:38,819
Three to get ready
Now go, cat, go
431
00:23:38,886 --> 00:23:43,724
But don't you
Step on my blue suede shoes
432
00:23:43,791 --> 00:23:45,126
Well, you can do anything
433
00:23:45,192 --> 00:23:48,696
But stay off of my
Blue suede shoes
434
00:23:48,763 --> 00:23:51,565
Well, you can knock me down
Step in my face
435
00:23:51,632 --> 00:23:53,401
[over loudspeaker]
Your attention, please.
436
00:23:53,466 --> 00:23:54,902
I have some good news.
437
00:23:54,969 --> 00:23:58,105
Our next four nights
are sold out...
438
00:23:58,172 --> 00:23:59,907
...thanks to the dazzling
performances
439
00:23:59,974 --> 00:24:04,011
of our tremendous showman,
Hank Snow.
440
00:24:04,078 --> 00:24:11,118
Pardon me if I'm sentimental
When we say goodbye
441
00:24:11,185 --> 00:24:12,887
[Parker] And I've noticed
a mild interest
442
00:24:12,954 --> 00:24:15,523
in our newest act,
Elvis Presley.
443
00:24:15,589 --> 00:24:17,224
[playing up-tempo music]
444
00:24:22,296 --> 00:24:23,496
[groupie] Hi.
445
00:24:23,564 --> 00:24:25,266
Yeah, Dixie, I'll be back
before prom.
446
00:24:25,333 --> 00:24:28,135
[rock music continues]
447
00:24:28,202 --> 00:24:29,737
[crowd cheering]
448
00:24:29,804 --> 00:24:32,640
Well you can burn my house
Steal my car
449
00:24:32,707 --> 00:24:35,142
Drink my liquor
From an old fruit jar
450
00:24:35,209 --> 00:24:37,178
Do anything
that you want to do
451
00:24:37,244 --> 00:24:39,714
[Hank] Colonel,
what is that boy
doing on our tour?
452
00:24:39,780 --> 00:24:41,215
[Parker] Well, I told you
all about him.
453
00:24:41,282 --> 00:24:43,517
And he wants to record
one of your songs.
454
00:24:43,584 --> 00:24:45,119
Oh? Which one?
455
00:24:45,186 --> 00:24:46,220
All of them.
456
00:24:46,287 --> 00:24:48,089
Well, you warn him plenty.
457
00:24:48,155 --> 00:24:52,526
None of those lewd gyrations
or sudden, jerky movements.
458
00:24:52,593 --> 00:24:55,062
[Elvis yelling]
459
00:24:56,063 --> 00:24:57,497
Let's go!
460
00:24:58,366 --> 00:24:59,767
Let's rock!
461
00:25:03,204 --> 00:25:05,206
[women shrieking]
462
00:25:07,742 --> 00:25:09,677
Is that a pair
of young ladies' intimates
463
00:25:09,744 --> 00:25:11,178
I see upon the stage?
464
00:25:11,245 --> 00:25:13,147
Yes, I believe it is, Hank.
465
00:25:13,214 --> 00:25:16,317
Best not happen
when he sings one of my songs.
466
00:25:16,384 --> 00:25:17,852
I'm sure it won't.
467
00:25:17,918 --> 00:25:19,186
[Gladys] Elvis, the papers say
there are girls
468
00:25:19,253 --> 00:25:20,855
around your hotel
all night long.
469
00:25:20,921 --> 00:25:22,623
I don't even go out, Mama.
I stay in.
470
00:25:22,690 --> 00:25:24,492
You know, it gets lonesome.
471
00:25:24,558 --> 00:25:27,094
[radio DJ] I tell you, this
new sensation, Elvis Presley,
472
00:25:27,161 --> 00:25:29,063
he's breaking hearts
all over the South.
473
00:25:29,130 --> 00:25:30,898
Quit knocking at my door,
Scotty.
474
00:25:34,235 --> 00:25:35,936
[woman chuckles]
475
00:25:36,003 --> 00:25:42,543
[Elvis singing]
Are you sorry
We drifted apart?
476
00:25:44,045 --> 00:25:47,314
Never know
How much I love you
477
00:25:48,449 --> 00:25:52,253
Never know how much I care
478
00:25:52,319 --> 00:25:55,656
When you put your arms
around me
479
00:25:55,723 --> 00:25:57,291
[woman sighing]
480
00:25:59,493 --> 00:26:01,095
[Scotty] Oh, come on, E.P.
481
00:26:01,162 --> 00:26:03,764
Life on the road ain't
the concern of folks back home.
482
00:26:03,831 --> 00:26:05,032
[Elvis singing] Fever
483
00:26:05,099 --> 00:26:06,901
[Bill] Why don't you try
one of these?
484
00:26:06,967 --> 00:26:09,136
Put the pep back
into your step.
485
00:26:09,203 --> 00:26:12,039
[Elvis singing]
What a lovely way to burn
486
00:26:13,542 --> 00:26:15,910
[Elvis singing]
Well, shake,
rattle and roll
487
00:26:15,976 --> 00:26:18,179
I said shake,
rattle and roll
488
00:26:18,245 --> 00:26:21,315
I said shake, rattle and roll
I said shake, rattle and roll
489
00:26:21,382 --> 00:26:22,517
Well, you won't do right
490
00:26:22,583 --> 00:26:23,584
Whoo!
491
00:26:23,651 --> 00:26:24,985
To save your doggone soul
492
00:26:25,052 --> 00:26:26,220
[Jimmie] You're really
something else, man!
493
00:26:26,287 --> 00:26:27,788
I promise,
I'll put my heart in--
494
00:26:27,855 --> 00:26:29,290
-[Elvis chuckles]
-I wanna be just like you!
495
00:26:29,356 --> 00:26:30,858
[Elvis] Okay. Yeah, thank you.
496
00:26:30,925 --> 00:26:32,660
I can no longer,
in good conscience,
497
00:26:32,726 --> 00:26:33,961
go on stage with that boy.
498
00:26:34,028 --> 00:26:37,031
Yes, a conundrum. A conundrum.
499
00:26:37,098 --> 00:26:40,434
[announcer] Please welcome
to the stage, Hank Snow!
500
00:26:40,502 --> 00:26:44,305
After I perform, I shall
spend the night in prayer.
501
00:26:44,371 --> 00:26:47,308
And I will do
what needs to be done.
502
00:26:48,909 --> 00:26:53,080
[downtempo country music
playing]
503
00:26:56,317 --> 00:26:57,852
Come on, Jimmie!
504
00:26:59,954 --> 00:27:03,624
How do you think
that I feel
505
00:27:03,691 --> 00:27:06,127
Oh, baby
Oh, baby
506
00:27:06,193 --> 00:27:09,663
How do you think
that I feel
507
00:27:10,431 --> 00:27:12,399
[music fades]
508
00:27:20,908 --> 00:27:23,344
[Parker] That night,
I happened to see him.
509
00:27:24,111 --> 00:27:25,646
Alone.
510
00:27:26,413 --> 00:27:27,648
Lost.
511
00:27:30,484 --> 00:27:34,855
A snowman is only as good...
512
00:27:34,922 --> 00:27:37,258
as his attraction.
513
00:27:37,324 --> 00:27:38,893
[Bill] Elvis!
514
00:27:38,959 --> 00:27:40,928
-Come on, man.
-Elvis, come on! Hurry up!
515
00:27:45,299 --> 00:27:47,935
[Parker] It was all,
or nothing.
516
00:27:48,002 --> 00:27:49,571
[Bill] Elvis, we're going
to the hall of mirrors!
517
00:27:49,638 --> 00:27:51,105
[Elvis] Wait up!
518
00:27:51,172 --> 00:27:53,073
[Jimmie] Screw the hall
of mirrors. That's boring.
519
00:27:53,140 --> 00:27:56,243
[all chattering, laughing]
520
00:27:57,244 --> 00:28:00,347
[Scotty] Right, hang on.
Here we go.
521
00:28:00,414 --> 00:28:02,383
[speaking Ciazarn]
522
00:28:03,384 --> 00:28:04,251
[Elvis] Hold on.
523
00:28:05,819 --> 00:28:07,821
All right, fellas. Come on.
524
00:28:10,958 --> 00:28:13,460
-Oh.
-[Parker] Lost, my boy?
525
00:28:15,329 --> 00:28:17,097
Colonel Parker, sir.
526
00:28:19,634 --> 00:28:22,504
-You look lost.
-[chuckling]
527
00:28:22,571 --> 00:28:24,838
-I guess I am.
-Ah, yes.
528
00:28:24,905 --> 00:28:28,475
The roar of the crowd.
The life on the road.
529
00:28:28,543 --> 00:28:30,878
And then calling home
to your loved ones,
530
00:28:30,945 --> 00:28:33,013
pretending nothing has changed,
531
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,816
when everything has.
532
00:28:36,551 --> 00:28:39,019
Yeah. Lost.
533
00:28:40,454 --> 00:28:43,123
I'm sorry, sir. I... I meant
I don't know the way out.
534
00:28:43,190 --> 00:28:47,861
Yeah, that is precisely
what I am saying.
535
00:28:47,928 --> 00:28:53,033
I... I saw you.
Apart from all the others.
536
00:28:53,100 --> 00:28:55,135
Burdened.
537
00:28:55,202 --> 00:28:58,138
Like you don't know
how to get out of this.
538
00:28:59,173 --> 00:29:00,508
But I do.
539
00:29:02,042 --> 00:29:03,777
[Zina singing]
Snowman's coming
540
00:29:03,844 --> 00:29:05,279
Allow me to show you.
541
00:29:05,346 --> 00:29:08,082
Yes, he's coming
542
00:29:08,148 --> 00:29:12,753
Take his magic hand
543
00:29:12,820 --> 00:29:14,556
[Parker]
Creatures of the carnival.
544
00:29:14,623 --> 00:29:16,957
-And I am one myself.
-[crowd exclaiming]
545
00:29:17,024 --> 00:29:20,194
It's where I learned the art
of the snow job.
546
00:29:20,261 --> 00:29:21,795
-[Elvis] Snow job?
-[Parker] Yes.
547
00:29:21,862 --> 00:29:23,598
It's like the trick
you do with the wiggling,
548
00:29:23,665 --> 00:29:25,165
getting all the girls
hyped up,
549
00:29:25,232 --> 00:29:26,934
empty their wallets
and leave them
550
00:29:27,001 --> 00:29:29,571
with nothing but the smiles
on their faces.
551
00:29:29,638 --> 00:29:30,739
I'm no trickster.
552
00:29:30,804 --> 00:29:32,674
Oh, yes, you are.
553
00:29:32,741 --> 00:29:34,942
All showmen are snowmen.
554
00:29:35,009 --> 00:29:36,844
It's a wonderful place.
555
00:29:36,910 --> 00:29:38,445
Nobody on the aerio.
556
00:29:39,413 --> 00:29:40,781
[speaking Ciazarn]
557
00:29:42,149 --> 00:29:46,120
Your future, Mr. Presley,
blazing before you.
558
00:29:46,186 --> 00:29:49,790
Recording contracts,
television, even Hollywood.
559
00:29:52,993 --> 00:29:54,562
You're great, Colonel.
560
00:29:54,629 --> 00:29:57,965
You are the best person
I could ever hope to work with.
561
00:29:58,032 --> 00:29:59,668
You know, this is something
I ain't never
562
00:29:59,734 --> 00:30:01,435
said to nobody before...
563
00:30:01,503 --> 00:30:03,605
But I believe
I can be great, too.
564
00:30:03,672 --> 00:30:05,205
Oh, no doubt.
565
00:30:05,272 --> 00:30:08,275
But we could be
even greater together.
566
00:30:08,342 --> 00:30:13,447
But to achieve this, I need
to represent you exclusively.
567
00:30:13,515 --> 00:30:16,150
Exclusively?
Sir, I... I don't follow.
568
00:30:17,585 --> 00:30:18,819
What about Hank Snow?
569
00:30:18,886 --> 00:30:20,755
Hank. Yes...
570
00:30:20,854 --> 00:30:22,990
He sent me here to fire you.
571
00:30:24,659 --> 00:30:26,528
[metal creaking]
572
00:30:26,594 --> 00:30:28,162
Hank wants you off the tour.
573
00:30:28,228 --> 00:30:31,999
So I will have to leave Hank.
574
00:30:33,033 --> 00:30:34,835
We will both have to
make sacrifices.
575
00:30:34,902 --> 00:30:38,506
We will need a record label
with national distribution.
576
00:30:40,374 --> 00:30:42,009
RCA?
577
00:30:43,678 --> 00:30:45,580
RCA.
578
00:30:45,647 --> 00:30:48,148
Sam Phillips... discovered me.
579
00:30:48,215 --> 00:30:51,485
I know, but we have a way
to help Sam understand
580
00:30:51,553 --> 00:30:54,823
that it would be foolish of him
to hold you back.
581
00:30:54,888 --> 00:30:56,990
Every man has his price.
582
00:30:57,057 --> 00:30:59,026
[Sam] RCA does have
the distribution.
583
00:30:59,093 --> 00:31:00,127
[Elvis] I just need to know
that you'll
584
00:31:00,194 --> 00:31:01,428
still be with me as friends.
585
00:31:01,495 --> 00:31:03,565
Don't doubt that,
we're not going anywhere.
586
00:31:03,631 --> 00:31:07,301
Marion and I just don't want to
stand in your way, that's all.
587
00:31:07,368 --> 00:31:10,638
The world needs
to hear you sing, Elvis.
588
00:31:10,705 --> 00:31:13,173
[newscaster] Elvis Presley's
contract sold to RCA today
589
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,242
for the highest price
in music history.
590
00:31:15,309 --> 00:31:17,911
Quite the payday
for Sun Records.
591
00:31:17,978 --> 00:31:20,981
It's just business.
Show business.
592
00:31:21,048 --> 00:31:22,316
To achieve truly great things,
593
00:31:22,383 --> 00:31:24,652
one must make
truly great sacrifices.
594
00:31:24,719 --> 00:31:28,455
You will have to be free
of any entanglements.
595
00:31:28,523 --> 00:31:32,259
You see, my boy,
show business is snow business.
596
00:31:32,326 --> 00:31:36,263
And the fans need to believe
that you are always available.
597
00:31:36,330 --> 00:31:38,031
[Elvis] The Colonel says
that with all the publicity
598
00:31:38,098 --> 00:31:39,433
that's gonna be coming,
599
00:31:39,501 --> 00:31:41,770
he might have to
put it out there that...
600
00:31:41,836 --> 00:31:43,137
That...
601
00:31:43,203 --> 00:31:45,472
I don't have a girl.
602
00:31:45,540 --> 00:31:48,576
[sobbing]
603
00:31:48,643 --> 00:31:52,212
[Parker] Then we will need
your parents' legal commitment.
604
00:31:52,279 --> 00:31:55,717
They may need a bit
of convincing themselves.
605
00:31:55,784 --> 00:31:57,719
[Gladys] Sam Phillips
is a good man we can trust.
606
00:31:57,786 --> 00:32:01,221
We don't know this Colonel
from a nail in a wall.
607
00:32:01,288 --> 00:32:03,157
[man] Is there a lawyer
representing the family?
608
00:32:03,223 --> 00:32:04,559
[Parker] Oh, unnecessary.
609
00:32:04,626 --> 00:32:06,160
I am of the firm opinion
610
00:32:06,226 --> 00:32:09,496
that family is the most
important thing in the world.
611
00:32:09,564 --> 00:32:12,299
In mind of that,
I have taken the liberty
612
00:32:12,366 --> 00:32:14,168
of making these contracts out
613
00:32:14,234 --> 00:32:17,539
in the name
of Elvis Presley Enterprises.
614
00:32:17,605 --> 00:32:18,640
A family business.
615
00:32:18,706 --> 00:32:21,676
And I was thinking,
Vernon Presley:
616
00:32:21,743 --> 00:32:23,310
Business Manager.
617
00:32:26,413 --> 00:32:28,583
[Elvis] What do you think,
Daddy?
618
00:32:28,650 --> 00:32:30,685
[Vernon] Uh... Well, uh...
619
00:32:30,752 --> 00:32:32,787
-I like it very much, son.
-[Parker] Ah!
620
00:32:32,854 --> 00:32:34,522
[laughing]
621
00:32:34,589 --> 00:32:38,025
Mrs. Presley,
your son has a unique gift.
622
00:32:38,091 --> 00:32:39,694
It's as though
he has the strength
623
00:32:39,761 --> 00:32:42,062
of two men inside of him.
624
00:32:42,129 --> 00:32:43,665
[pen clicks]
625
00:32:43,731 --> 00:32:45,365
[Elvis] You know, Colonel,
I would do anything
626
00:32:45,432 --> 00:32:47,134
to make sure my mama and daddy
never have to live
627
00:32:47,201 --> 00:32:49,102
in no poverty ever again.
628
00:32:49,169 --> 00:32:52,774
Mama, it's gonna turn out
so, so good.
629
00:32:52,841 --> 00:32:54,208
Mm.
630
00:32:55,743 --> 00:32:57,211
[camera clicks]
631
00:32:57,277 --> 00:32:58,613
Colonel, I wasn't fooling
when I told those other kids
632
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:00,280
I was gonna buy 'em
a Cadillac one day.
633
00:33:00,347 --> 00:33:02,917
My boy, with me, you will
buy them two Cadillacs.
634
00:33:02,983 --> 00:33:04,418
Two?
635
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:06,788
A hundred?
636
00:33:06,855 --> 00:33:08,021
-Two hundred.
-[chuckles]
637
00:33:08,088 --> 00:33:09,958
-A thousand.
-A million.
638
00:33:10,023 --> 00:33:11,258
An aeroplane.
639
00:33:11,325 --> 00:33:13,093
-How about a rocket ship?
-[both laugh]
640
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:17,632
Well, maybe not a rocket ship.
My mama don't like me to fly.
641
00:33:17,699 --> 00:33:21,803
But me, I've always
wanted to fly. Fast.
642
00:33:21,870 --> 00:33:25,807
Faster than the speed of light
to the Rock of Eternity.
643
00:33:25,874 --> 00:33:28,008
What? To the Rock of Eternity?
644
00:33:28,075 --> 00:33:29,677
Captain Marvel, Jr.
645
00:33:30,812 --> 00:33:32,547
He's my favorite
comic book hero.
646
00:33:33,648 --> 00:33:35,282
He flies.
647
00:33:35,349 --> 00:33:37,417
Well, what about you,
Mr. Presley?
648
00:33:38,185 --> 00:33:40,387
Are you ready to fly?
649
00:33:41,154 --> 00:33:43,625
Yes, sir. I'm ready.
650
00:33:44,526 --> 00:33:45,793
Ready to fly.
651
00:33:53,768 --> 00:33:55,469
[producer 1 over intercom]
Uh, Mr. Presley,
652
00:33:55,537 --> 00:33:57,539
try not to move around
so much during the takes.
653
00:33:57,605 --> 00:34:00,040
[Elvis] If I can't move,
I can't sing.
654
00:34:00,107 --> 00:34:02,977
[singing]
Well, since my baby left me
655
00:34:03,043 --> 00:34:04,512
[band plays two chords]
656
00:34:04,579 --> 00:34:07,782
Well, I found a new place
To dwell
657
00:34:07,849 --> 00:34:09,584
[producer 2] What is he doing?
We paid for this?
658
00:34:09,651 --> 00:34:11,485
It's down at the end of
Lonely Street at...
659
00:34:11,553 --> 00:34:13,353
[producer 2]
It's a suicide song.
660
00:34:13,420 --> 00:34:15,957
...Heartbreak Hotel
661
00:34:16,024 --> 00:34:19,027
[Parker] Them know-it-alls
said I'd backed
the wrong horse.
662
00:34:19,092 --> 00:34:21,295
But my boy knew teenagers.
663
00:34:21,361 --> 00:34:25,567
And that first record
changed everything.
664
00:34:25,633 --> 00:34:30,370
Well, it's so very hard to have
To leave the one you love
665
00:34:30,437 --> 00:34:33,808
And you get more lonely
With each passing day
666
00:34:35,409 --> 00:34:40,014
It's so lonely just sitting
And dreaming of...
667
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:41,448
[newscaster 1]
In a few short months,
668
00:34:41,516 --> 00:34:43,317
Elvis Presley has popped
out of nowhere.
669
00:34:43,383 --> 00:34:45,520
Everywhere he goes,
he causes riots,
670
00:34:45,587 --> 00:34:48,155
mountains of press
and rivers of money.
671
00:34:48,221 --> 00:34:50,725
[newscaster 2] It's another
gold record for Elvis Presley.
672
00:34:50,792 --> 00:34:53,761
This one giving him his first
worldwide hit.
673
00:34:55,162 --> 00:34:57,297
[crowd screaming]
674
00:34:58,098 --> 00:35:01,002
[maid] Mrs. Presley, look!
675
00:35:01,069 --> 00:35:04,471
Come on, Mrs. Presley,
let me show you
how to use this.
676
00:35:04,539 --> 00:35:06,908
Come on, hens! Come on, hens!
Come on!
677
00:35:06,975 --> 00:35:10,477
Come on! Outside!
Out of my house!
678
00:35:10,545 --> 00:35:13,347
Come on, this way!
Come on, babies!
679
00:35:14,048 --> 00:35:15,516
Dodger!
680
00:35:15,583 --> 00:35:16,684
[grunts]
681
00:35:17,619 --> 00:35:19,621
[Elvis grunting]
682
00:35:19,687 --> 00:35:21,689
-[Elvis] Go, Billy boy!
-Ya-hoo-hoo!
683
00:35:21,756 --> 00:35:23,591
[Parker] I took
my boy's wiggling
684
00:35:23,658 --> 00:35:26,360
and put it in the movies.
685
00:35:26,426 --> 00:35:28,362
I took his name and face,
686
00:35:28,428 --> 00:35:30,230
and put it on all sorts of toys
687
00:35:30,297 --> 00:35:32,567
and knick-knacks,
and called it...
688
00:35:32,634 --> 00:35:33,701
"Merchandise."
689
00:35:33,768 --> 00:35:36,303
Your face on every
conceivable object,
690
00:35:36,370 --> 00:35:39,941
including teddy bear, perfume,
plaster busts...
691
00:35:40,008 --> 00:35:41,208
Of questionable likeness.
692
00:35:41,274 --> 00:35:42,744
"The Elvis Presley Game."
693
00:35:42,810 --> 00:35:45,947
Something so everyone
can show their love.
694
00:35:46,014 --> 00:35:50,718
Grandma Dodger,
what is that behind your ear?
695
00:35:51,819 --> 00:35:53,855
[Gladys] "I hate Elvis."
696
00:35:55,857 --> 00:35:57,157
Huh?
697
00:35:57,224 --> 00:35:58,693
Yes. I hate Elvis.
698
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:00,427
In my way of thinking,
"I love Elvis,"
699
00:36:00,494 --> 00:36:01,696
that's an easy sell.
700
00:36:01,763 --> 00:36:03,564
Those who hate your son
will do so
701
00:36:03,631 --> 00:36:06,333
whether we profit
from it or not.
702
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:11,338
After all, what is hate worth
if it's free?
703
00:36:12,406 --> 00:36:14,307
Oh, yeah. I get it.
704
00:36:17,912 --> 00:36:19,346
Snowman strikes again.
705
00:36:19,413 --> 00:36:21,415
[all laughing]
706
00:36:21,481 --> 00:36:24,418
[Parker] Merchandise,
promotion.
Diskin, what else do we have?
707
00:36:24,484 --> 00:36:25,920
-[Diskin] Necklaces.
-[Parker] Necklaces.
708
00:36:25,987 --> 00:36:29,189
-[Diskin] Scarves.
-[Parker] Oh, scarves. Yes...
709
00:36:29,256 --> 00:36:31,926
[Lansky] Mr. Presley
and Mr. King...
710
00:36:31,993 --> 00:36:33,193
regular peas in a pod,
711
00:36:33,260 --> 00:36:35,096
relieving me
of my finest threads.
712
00:36:35,163 --> 00:36:36,263
Must be some occasion.
713
00:36:36,329 --> 00:36:37,565
Mr. Lansky, it's Milton Berle.
714
00:36:37,632 --> 00:36:39,499
The whole of America'll
be watching.
715
00:36:39,567 --> 00:36:41,769
I don't watch television.
716
00:36:41,836 --> 00:36:42,837
So what's it gonna be?
717
00:36:42,904 --> 00:36:44,739
How you gonna
blow their wigs off?
718
00:36:44,806 --> 00:36:48,142
Well, the network
wants me to do a ballad.
719
00:36:48,208 --> 00:36:50,545
But I'm thinking about
cuttin' it up with "Hound Dog."
720
00:36:50,611 --> 00:36:51,746
Whoo!
721
00:36:51,813 --> 00:36:57,752
Elvis Presley, "Hound Dog,"
and Uncle Miltie.
722
00:36:57,819 --> 00:36:59,787
Strange things
are happening every day.
723
00:36:59,854 --> 00:37:02,890
You ain't nothin'
But a hound dog, hound dog
724
00:37:02,957 --> 00:37:04,892
Cryin' all the time
725
00:37:04,959 --> 00:37:07,494
You ain't nothin'
but a hound dog
726
00:37:07,562 --> 00:37:09,931
Cryin' all the time
727
00:37:09,997 --> 00:37:11,766
Well, you ain't never
Caught a rabbit
728
00:37:11,833 --> 00:37:14,502
And you ain't
no friend of mine
729
00:37:14,569 --> 00:37:17,270
When they said
You was high classed
730
00:37:17,337 --> 00:37:19,574
Well, that was just a lie
731
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:22,409
Yeah, they said
You were high classed
732
00:37:22,476 --> 00:37:24,746
Behold, tomorrow,
all of America
733
00:37:24,812 --> 00:37:27,181
will be talking
about Elvis Presley.
734
00:37:27,247 --> 00:37:28,281
My wiggling boy.
735
00:37:28,348 --> 00:37:30,551
[Gladys and Vernon laughing]
736
00:37:30,618 --> 00:37:33,020
Even as a little one,
he made me laugh so.
737
00:37:33,087 --> 00:37:34,756
He's so funny!
738
00:37:34,822 --> 00:37:37,257
You never caught a rabbit
You ain't no friend of mine
739
00:37:39,093 --> 00:37:40,828
[laughter]
740
00:37:40,895 --> 00:37:43,698
You ain't nothin'
But a hound dog,
a hound dog
741
00:37:45,166 --> 00:37:46,466
Cryin' all the time
742
00:37:46,534 --> 00:37:48,035
[aide] And, Senator,
for the next leg
743
00:37:48,102 --> 00:37:49,504
of your racial integrity tour,
744
00:37:49,570 --> 00:37:52,607
we booked the Overton
Park Shell in Memphis.
745
00:37:52,673 --> 00:37:54,509
What are they laughing about?
746
00:37:54,575 --> 00:37:57,344
[laughter continues]
747
00:37:57,410 --> 00:38:00,815
[Elvis] You ain't nothin'
But a hound dog
748
00:38:02,083 --> 00:38:04,484
Cryin' all the time
749
00:38:04,552 --> 00:38:06,654
Who the hell is that?
750
00:38:06,721 --> 00:38:09,090
It's that boy from Memphis.
751
00:38:09,157 --> 00:38:11,324
[dreamily] Elvis Presley.
752
00:38:11,391 --> 00:38:13,528
Cryin' all the time
753
00:38:13,594 --> 00:38:17,932
A white boy from Memphis,
moving like a goddamn--
754
00:38:17,999 --> 00:38:24,304
[Elvis singing]
Is your heart
filled with pain
755
00:38:25,472 --> 00:38:27,975
Shall I come back...
756
00:38:28,042 --> 00:38:32,947
The obscenity and vulgarity
of this rock and roll music
757
00:38:33,014 --> 00:38:36,851
is obviously a means by which
the white man and his children
758
00:38:36,918 --> 00:38:39,053
can be driven to the level
of the Negro.
759
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:41,088
[Elvis] The colored folks have
been singing and playing it
760
00:38:41,155 --> 00:38:43,691
just like
I'm doing it now, man,
more years than I know.
761
00:38:43,758 --> 00:38:45,293
Colonel Parker,
we called you in here
762
00:38:45,358 --> 00:38:46,928
to talk about this act
of yours.
763
00:38:46,994 --> 00:38:48,629
[TV reporter] A petition
has begun circulating
764
00:38:48,696 --> 00:38:51,299
to bar Elvis Presley
from television.
765
00:38:51,364 --> 00:38:52,867
[Eastland]
We've set up a committee
766
00:38:52,934 --> 00:38:55,603
to keep an eye on this vulgar,
animalistic rock and roll bum.
767
00:38:55,670 --> 00:38:57,470
[TV host] Your style
of gyrating while you sing
768
00:38:57,538 --> 00:38:58,806
has been bitterly criticized...
769
00:38:58,873 --> 00:39:00,675
I don't feel I'm doing
anything wrong.
770
00:39:00,741 --> 00:39:02,743
[woman] We simply will not
advertise on any station
771
00:39:02,810 --> 00:39:04,344
that puts this delinquent
on television.
772
00:39:04,411 --> 00:39:07,414
Colonel, you put an end
to your boy's animal behavior,
773
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:09,217
or we will.
774
00:39:09,283 --> 00:39:11,953
[Parker] Don't worry, Senator,
my boy does what he's told.
775
00:39:12,019 --> 00:39:14,722
[Elvis singing]
Tell me, dear
776
00:39:14,789 --> 00:39:20,595
Are you lonesome tonight?
777
00:39:24,532 --> 00:39:26,334
"Elvis the Pelvis."
778
00:39:26,399 --> 00:39:29,604
That's one of the most childish
expressions I've ever heard
779
00:39:29,670 --> 00:39:31,706
coming from an adult.
780
00:39:31,772 --> 00:39:33,941
Is Mr. Allen gonna cancel me
from the show?
781
00:39:34,709 --> 00:39:35,943
Yes.
782
00:39:36,010 --> 00:39:37,912
Yes, he is.
783
00:39:37,979 --> 00:39:42,382
He is replacing you with one of
the country's greatest singers.
784
00:39:43,517 --> 00:39:45,086
Mario Lanza?
785
00:39:45,152 --> 00:39:46,386
Someone greater.
786
00:39:46,453 --> 00:39:49,489
The new Elvis Presley!
787
00:39:51,259 --> 00:39:53,227
Yeah, I snowed 'em!
788
00:39:53,294 --> 00:39:56,163
You just have to put on
one of these tails here,
789
00:39:56,230 --> 00:39:57,665
can sing the "Hound Dog,"
790
00:39:57,732 --> 00:40:00,868
and it's a light-hearted,
sophisticated family show.
791
00:40:00,935 --> 00:40:02,370
I can't move in one of these.
792
00:40:02,435 --> 00:40:03,436
And that is the point.
793
00:40:03,504 --> 00:40:05,573
Mr. Allen agreed only as long
794
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:07,942
as there is no wiggling
of those hips.
795
00:40:08,009 --> 00:40:10,678
I can't figure it out. My own
mother approves of what I do.
796
00:40:10,745 --> 00:40:12,280
Mmm.
797
00:40:12,346 --> 00:40:15,149
You have read the papers,
my boy?
798
00:40:15,216 --> 00:40:16,784
Yeah, I read the papers.
799
00:40:16,851 --> 00:40:19,153
The papers say that I shot
my mother and smoke marijuana.
800
00:40:19,220 --> 00:40:22,223
Your movement's
in the style of a Black man,
801
00:40:22,290 --> 00:40:24,792
and you have broken
the segregation laws.
802
00:40:24,859 --> 00:40:26,894
So let's follow the plan.
It's a good plan.
803
00:40:26,961 --> 00:40:29,030
You do the Allen Show,
family style,
804
00:40:29,096 --> 00:40:31,498
and then tomorrow
we go back to Memphis and
805
00:40:31,565 --> 00:40:35,336
we snow them on the July 4th
Children's Charitable Concert.
806
00:40:35,403 --> 00:40:38,739
And we put this whole
unfortunate misstep behind us.
807
00:40:38,806 --> 00:40:41,342
Now, do you want
to go into politics?
808
00:40:41,409 --> 00:40:44,512
Or shall we stay
in show business?
809
00:40:46,881 --> 00:40:48,282
[Steve Allen] We want to do
a show the whole family
810
00:40:48,349 --> 00:40:50,318
can watch and enjoy,
and we always do.
811
00:40:50,384 --> 00:40:52,019
And at this time, it gives me
extreme pleasure to introduce
812
00:40:52,086 --> 00:40:53,888
the new Elvis Presley!
813
00:40:53,955 --> 00:40:55,523
[dog barks]
814
00:40:55,589 --> 00:40:57,825
[faint crowd laughter]
815
00:40:57,892 --> 00:40:59,427
[female fan 1]
He used to be so hip.
816
00:40:59,492 --> 00:41:01,128
[male fan 1]
He looked so silly.
817
00:41:01,195 --> 00:41:03,130
[male fan 2]
I mean,
he looked like a butler.
818
00:41:03,197 --> 00:41:04,632
[female fan 2] I can't believe
he agreed to sing to a dog.
819
00:41:04,699 --> 00:41:06,033
-[door bangs]
-[Elvis] God damn it!
820
00:41:07,101 --> 00:41:08,102
[grunts angrily]
821
00:41:08,169 --> 00:41:09,704
He could've given us
some warning.
822
00:41:09,770 --> 00:41:11,405
I know how to do a skit,
I could've made it funny!
823
00:41:11,471 --> 00:41:15,109
The most stupid, embarrassing,
humiliating thing I ever did.
824
00:41:15,176 --> 00:41:17,011
Well, what the hell
do you want me to do about it?
825
00:41:17,078 --> 00:41:18,145
We're musicians!
826
00:41:18,212 --> 00:41:19,714
[female fan 3]
It's just embarrassing.
827
00:41:19,780 --> 00:41:20,948
[male fan 3]
Who does he think he is?
828
00:41:21,015 --> 00:41:23,050
[voices overlapping,
echoing faintly]
829
00:41:23,117 --> 00:41:25,953
-[horn toots]
-[fans screaming]
830
00:41:28,723 --> 00:41:32,126
[imperceptible]
831
00:41:39,233 --> 00:41:42,203
[Gladys] She just went on
and on about the damn dog.
832
00:41:42,269 --> 00:41:44,638
And I said, "Neighbors
shouldn't speak like that."
833
00:41:44,705 --> 00:41:46,307
And then she said...
834
00:41:46,374 --> 00:41:48,042
I like the bit with the dog.
835
00:41:48,109 --> 00:41:50,478
It was the most embarrassing
performance of my life, Daddy.
836
00:41:50,544 --> 00:41:52,646
She wasn't the only one
who said it.
837
00:41:52,713 --> 00:41:54,482
-All the neighbors did.
-Oh, God.
838
00:41:54,548 --> 00:41:55,983
Those New York people
were using you
839
00:41:56,050 --> 00:41:57,752
to poke fun at the whole South.
840
00:41:57,818 --> 00:42:01,555
Getting a laugh out of putting
a hillbilly in a tailcoat
841
00:42:01,622 --> 00:42:03,958
-and singing to a dog.
-[faint shouting]
842
00:42:04,025 --> 00:42:06,761
God damn it, Mama, it was
either that or I get canceled.
843
00:42:06,827 --> 00:42:08,596
Then that's it for television.
844
00:42:08,662 --> 00:42:11,599
Colonel says I'm running out
of states that I'm welcome in.
845
00:42:11,665 --> 00:42:14,135
And they don't pay
unless I can perform.
846
00:42:14,201 --> 00:42:17,071
So Colonel says I play the
charity concert tomorrow night,
847
00:42:17,138 --> 00:42:19,273
as the new family style,
848
00:42:19,340 --> 00:42:22,176
then everybody calms down
and we get back on track.
849
00:42:22,243 --> 00:42:25,179
Someone's got to think about
keeping a roof over our heads.
850
00:42:25,246 --> 00:42:26,847
Roof over our head?
851
00:42:26,914 --> 00:42:29,483
We've always managed to keep
a roof over our head, Vernon.
852
00:42:29,550 --> 00:42:31,552
Mama, Daddy is
business manager.
It's his job.
853
00:42:31,619 --> 00:42:33,087
[Vernon] That's right.
854
00:42:33,154 --> 00:42:35,524
We was doing just fine
before that man came along.
855
00:42:35,623 --> 00:42:36,924
Colonel has got us all of this.
856
00:42:36,991 --> 00:42:39,593
I don't want all this!
You're unhappy!
857
00:42:39,660 --> 00:42:41,662
-I am not!
-[grunts loudly]
858
00:42:42,663 --> 00:42:44,598
You're losing yourself, Booby!
859
00:42:44,665 --> 00:42:46,434
Oh, hell, Mama, I--
860
00:42:46,501 --> 00:42:48,035
Satnin knows.
861
00:42:48,102 --> 00:42:49,136
[sighs]
862
00:42:49,203 --> 00:42:50,738
[heavy sigh]
863
00:42:55,743 --> 00:42:58,547
[Gladys] The way you sing
and move...
864
00:42:58,612 --> 00:43:00,314
it's God-given.
865
00:43:01,615 --> 00:43:03,851
So there can't be nothing

1038
00:52:08,997 --> 00:52:12,432
Well, stop talking about it
We're talking
about everything
1039
00:52:12,499 --> 00:52:14,702
And do somethin' about it
1040
00:52:14,769 --> 00:52:16,403
Elvis Presley!
1041
00:52:16,470 --> 00:52:20,173
Strange things happening
Every day
1042
00:52:22,309 --> 00:52:24,946
Just sing the nice song.
Smile the nice smile.
1043
00:52:25,013 --> 00:52:26,346
No wiggling.
1044
00:52:26,413 --> 00:52:28,382
Then we can get back
to our show business.
1045
00:52:28,448 --> 00:52:30,885
And have fun, my boy! Fun!
1046
00:52:33,888 --> 00:52:36,356
[Tharpe singing]
Oh, we want peace!
1047
00:52:36,423 --> 00:52:38,291
We want peace!
1048
00:52:38,358 --> 00:52:40,695
We oughta stop
talkin' about it
And do somethin' about it
1049
00:52:40,762 --> 00:52:45,700
Oh, there are strange
Things happening
1050
00:52:45,767 --> 00:52:51,739
Every day
1051
00:52:52,940 --> 00:52:55,777
[cheering, applause]
1052
00:53:01,816 --> 00:53:03,751
[cameras clicking]
1053
00:53:07,220 --> 00:53:09,924
[cheering subsides]
1054
00:53:09,991 --> 00:53:12,359
There's been a lot of talk
about the new Elvis.
1055
00:53:12,426 --> 00:53:14,829
[crowd jeering]
1056
00:53:20,233 --> 00:53:22,503
And of course, that other guy.
1057
00:53:24,038 --> 00:53:26,373
[crowd cheering]
1058
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:29,209
[Elvis singing] You ain't
Nothin' but a hound dog
1059
00:53:29,276 --> 00:53:30,878
[chuckling]
Cryin' all the time
1060
00:53:33,614 --> 00:53:35,850
[Eastland] ...at his
command, both civil and other,
1061
00:53:35,917 --> 00:53:40,054
to maintain public order,
and prevent crime and riots.
1062
00:53:40,121 --> 00:53:41,689
He can use those forces...
1063
00:53:41,756 --> 00:53:45,225
to prevent the racial
integration of schools,
1064
00:53:45,292 --> 00:53:49,496
if this is necessary, under the
police powers of that state...
1065
00:53:49,564 --> 00:53:51,966
There's a lot of people
saying a lot of things.
1066
00:53:52,033 --> 00:53:53,768
[Eastland]
...in fact, it is his duty...
1067
00:53:53,835 --> 00:53:56,104
Of course you gotta listen
to the people that you love.
1068
00:53:56,170 --> 00:53:59,507
[Eastland] ...and prevent
turmoil
and strife within the state.
1069
00:54:01,109 --> 00:54:03,177
But in the end,
you gotta listen to yourself.
1070
00:54:03,243 --> 00:54:05,312
[crowd cheering]
1071
00:54:05,378 --> 00:54:07,414
So I want you to know,
those New York people
1072
00:54:07,481 --> 00:54:09,183
ain't gonna change me none.
1073
00:54:09,249 --> 00:54:10,852
[cheering, applause]
1074
00:54:10,918 --> 00:54:12,720
[Eastland]
...the subversives who own...
1075
00:54:12,787 --> 00:54:16,624
...control and dominate
the entertainment industry...
1076
00:54:16,691 --> 00:54:18,325
-"Trouble."
-[Eastland]
... are determined...
1077
00:54:18,391 --> 00:54:20,695
...to spread
Africanized culture...
1078
00:54:20,762 --> 00:54:24,966
I'm gonna show you what
the real Elvis is like tonight!
1079
00:54:25,032 --> 00:54:27,168
[Eastland]
...influencing your children...
1080
00:54:27,235 --> 00:54:28,503
to accept the Negroes.
1081
00:54:28,569 --> 00:54:29,837
[band plays chord]
1082
00:54:29,904 --> 00:54:31,038
If you're looking
for trouble
1083
00:54:31,105 --> 00:54:32,439
-No.
-What's going on?
1084
00:54:32,507 --> 00:54:34,041
You came to the right place
1085
00:54:35,475 --> 00:54:37,477
If you're looking
for trouble
1086
00:54:38,746 --> 00:54:40,313
Just look right in my face
1087
00:54:41,949 --> 00:54:43,651
I was born standing up
1088
00:54:45,153 --> 00:54:47,088
And talking back
1089
00:54:47,155 --> 00:54:53,326
My daddy was a green-eyed
Mountain jack
1090
00:54:53,393 --> 00:54:57,598
Because I'm evil
1091
00:54:57,665 --> 00:55:01,836
My middle name is misery
1092
00:55:05,940 --> 00:55:09,010
Well, I'm evil
1093
00:55:10,511 --> 00:55:14,314
So don't you mess
around with me
1094
00:55:20,521 --> 00:55:21,856
I've never looked
for trouble
1095
00:55:21,923 --> 00:55:23,558
[all screaming]
1096
00:55:23,624 --> 00:55:25,425
But I never ran
1097
00:55:26,994 --> 00:55:28,563
I don't take no orders
1098
00:55:29,697 --> 00:55:31,364
From no kind of man
1099
00:55:33,301 --> 00:55:34,669
I'm only made out
1100
00:55:36,369 --> 00:55:37,638
Of flesh, blood and bone
1101
00:55:37,705 --> 00:55:41,374
But if you're gonna
Start a rumble
1102
00:55:41,441 --> 00:55:44,579
Don't you try it on alone
1103
00:55:44,645 --> 00:55:48,049
Because I'm evil
1104
00:55:49,083 --> 00:55:52,320
My middle name is misery
1105
00:55:52,385 --> 00:55:53,988
[shrieking]
1106
00:55:56,090 --> 00:55:57,158
Elvis!
1107
00:55:57,225 --> 00:56:01,629
Well, I'm evil
1108
00:56:01,696 --> 00:56:04,198
So don't you
mess around with me
1109
00:56:04,265 --> 00:56:07,134
-[band accelerates tempo]
-[excited chattering]
1110
00:56:08,336 --> 00:56:11,005
I'm evil, evil
evil as can be
1111
00:56:12,073 --> 00:56:15,009
I'm evil
evil, evil as can be
1112
00:56:15,076 --> 00:56:16,077
[officers shouting]
1113
00:56:16,143 --> 00:56:17,377
So don't mess around
1114
00:56:17,444 --> 00:56:19,580
Don't mess around with me
1115
00:56:20,281 --> 00:56:21,983
I'm evil
1116
00:56:22,049 --> 00:56:22,917
[cameras whirring]
1117
00:56:22,984 --> 00:56:24,118
I'm evil
1118
00:56:25,219 --> 00:56:28,723
[faint singing] Evil, evil
1119
00:56:28,789 --> 00:56:32,793
Uh, now would be a good time
to get back into the car.
1120
00:56:32,860 --> 00:56:34,996
I'm evil
1121
00:56:35,062 --> 00:56:36,463
Evil
1122
00:56:36,964 --> 00:56:38,666
Evil
1123
00:56:38,733 --> 00:56:41,369
-[sound fades]
-[cameras clicking, whirring]
1124
00:56:41,434 --> 00:56:44,939
Our friends at RCA
are not gonna
be happy when they see this.
1125
00:56:45,806 --> 00:56:47,808
[up-tempo music continues]
1126
00:56:57,450 --> 00:56:59,954
[sounds fade, muffled]
1127
00:57:00,021 --> 00:57:02,455
[Parker] He didn't listen
to me.
1128
00:57:03,557 --> 00:57:04,959
-Why?
-[faint singing]
1129
00:57:05,026 --> 00:57:08,362
Why didn't he listen to me?
1130
00:57:08,428 --> 00:57:10,965
[faint singing] I'm evil
1131
00:57:12,633 --> 00:57:14,602
Get my boy off that stage!
1132
00:57:15,670 --> 00:57:16,938
...with me
1133
00:57:17,004 --> 00:57:17,872
[yelling]
1134
00:57:20,508 --> 00:57:23,544
[Scotty] Get your hands
off him. Hey!
1135
00:57:23,611 --> 00:57:25,813
[Bill] Hey, Elvis!
1136
00:57:40,061 --> 00:57:41,929
[women shrieking] Elvis!
1137
00:57:41,996 --> 00:57:44,665
Go look after the merchandise.
Look after the merchandise!
1138
00:57:44,732 --> 00:57:47,234
[all shouting, yelling]
1139
00:57:47,301 --> 00:57:48,536
[man] Elvis, come on!
1140
00:57:48,602 --> 00:57:50,237
Get off of me!
Mama, you get in the car!
1141
00:57:50,304 --> 00:57:52,073
Get in the car!
1142
00:57:52,139 --> 00:57:53,874
[screaming]
1143
00:57:53,941 --> 00:57:55,710
[panting]
1144
00:58:01,315 --> 00:58:03,117
You're gonna get us in trouble.
1145
00:58:04,251 --> 00:58:05,753
He's all right, come on.
1146
00:58:05,820 --> 00:58:08,055
-[Scotty] Elvis!
-[Bill] Scotty, come on.
1147
00:58:08,122 --> 00:58:09,156
Let's go.
1148
00:58:10,591 --> 00:58:12,560
[panting]
1149
00:58:14,628 --> 00:58:16,697
[fans thumping on car]
1150
00:58:21,002 --> 00:58:22,103
[siren wails]
1151
00:58:22,169 --> 00:58:25,773
[Parker] My dear boy
had chosen.
1152
00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:30,511
You, his audience, his fans.
1153
00:58:30,578 --> 00:58:35,182
He had no idea
what he had done
to both of us.
1154
00:58:35,249 --> 00:58:36,917
[Eastland]
We warned you, Colonel.
1155
00:58:36,984 --> 00:58:38,719
You've lost control
of this act of yours.
1156
00:58:38,786 --> 00:58:40,454
And he's dividing this nation.
1157
00:58:40,521 --> 00:58:45,026
There are a lot of people
who want to see him in jail.
1158
00:58:45,092 --> 00:58:47,561
[Parker] I had to find
a way out.
1159
00:58:48,462 --> 00:58:50,564
A way to save him.
1160
00:58:53,901 --> 00:58:58,639
[Elvis singing] Crawfish
1161
00:59:00,207 --> 00:59:03,644
Crawfish
1162
00:59:06,113 --> 00:59:10,885
No. There's no way my baby's
going to Germany for two years.
1163
00:59:10,951 --> 00:59:15,022
It is either the army or jail.
1164
00:59:15,923 --> 00:59:17,925
There is something else.
1165
00:59:17,992 --> 00:59:21,762
Vernon, they are poking
into your background.
1166
00:59:21,829 --> 00:59:23,564
We don't have nothin'
to be ashamed of!
1167
00:59:23,631 --> 00:59:25,166
Now, my daddy is a good man.
1168
00:59:25,232 --> 00:59:28,369
[Parker] Yes, yes.
But your papa did go to jail.
1169
00:59:28,436 --> 00:59:31,439
You know them,
and their flashy headlines.
1170
00:59:31,506 --> 00:59:35,709
"Elvis, The Draft Dodger."
"A Family of Delinquents."
1171
00:59:35,776 --> 00:59:38,679
There was no moon
1172
00:59:38,746 --> 00:59:42,750
[Parker] We may never
book another date,
or sell another record again.
1173
00:59:42,817 --> 00:59:44,351
And my way of thinking,
1174
00:59:44,418 --> 00:59:46,921
the army could be
a brand new start
for all of us.
1175
00:59:46,987 --> 00:59:48,656
Let them cut your hair.
1176
00:59:48,722 --> 00:59:52,059
Prove to the world that you are
a clean-cut, all-American boy.
1177
00:59:52,126 --> 00:59:55,129
You do your two years, and when
you come back, I promise you
1178
00:59:55,196 --> 00:59:56,831
I will have done
everything I can
1179
00:59:56,897 --> 00:59:59,700
to make you the biggest
actor in Hollywood.
1180
00:59:59,767 --> 01:00:01,669
You will choose
your own pictures.
1181
01:00:03,304 --> 01:00:04,905
-It's gonna be okay, Mama.
-[sobbing]
1182
01:00:04,972 --> 01:00:09,310
And I pulled Mr. Crawfish
out of his hole
1183
01:00:09,376 --> 01:00:11,212
[TV reporter]
Young Mr. Presley,
a rock and roller no more.
1184
01:00:11,278 --> 01:00:14,715
He'll do six months'
basic training at Fort Chaffee
1185
01:00:14,782 --> 01:00:16,784
before shipping off to Germany.
1186
01:00:16,851 --> 01:00:18,385
[Elvis continues singing
faintly]
1187
01:00:18,452 --> 01:00:20,187
[Parker] Since the day
he was born,
1188
01:00:20,254 --> 01:00:23,124
she had feared
losing her second son.
1189
01:00:26,393 --> 01:00:28,929
While he was
in basic training...
1190
01:00:29,763 --> 01:00:32,233
she worried and drank...
1191
01:00:33,634 --> 01:00:35,202
Worried...
1192
01:00:36,170 --> 01:00:37,738
and drank.
1193
01:00:37,805 --> 01:00:40,007
-[loud thump]
-[glass clattering]
1194
01:00:45,779 --> 01:00:47,281
[faint] Hey...
1195
01:00:47,348 --> 01:00:48,716
Alberta!
1196
01:00:53,187 --> 01:00:55,156
[sobbing quietly]
1197
01:00:59,660 --> 01:01:01,996
[crying]
1198
01:01:12,306 --> 01:01:14,576
[Elvis crying] Oh, no...
1199
01:01:14,643 --> 01:01:16,243
No!
1200
01:01:19,713 --> 01:01:24,451
There are some fine folks
from the press waiting outside.
1201
01:01:24,519 --> 01:01:29,624
A few questions, pictures,
and they will leave us alone.
1202
01:01:29,690 --> 01:01:32,793
I can't get him to do anything.
1203
01:01:33,994 --> 01:01:36,830
He trusted her
like nobody else,
1204
01:01:36,897 --> 01:01:40,768
and now she's gone
and who does he have now?
1205
01:01:42,604 --> 01:01:43,704
[Vernon] Well...
1206
01:01:44,972 --> 01:01:46,840
He trusts you.
[shaky exhale]
1207
01:01:46,907 --> 01:01:49,109
Can you talk to him?
1208
01:01:50,211 --> 01:01:52,079
Oh, no.
1209
01:01:53,013 --> 01:01:54,949
It's not my place...
1210
01:01:55,015 --> 01:01:56,817
Can you do it, Colonel?
1211
01:01:56,884 --> 01:01:58,953
We need your help now.
1212
01:02:02,423 --> 01:02:04,425
[Elvis sobbing quietly]
1213
01:02:09,096 --> 01:02:11,832
Your daddy is doing
the best he knows how,
1214
01:02:11,899 --> 01:02:14,969
but he is overwhelmed.
1215
01:02:15,035 --> 01:02:17,204
He needs your help out there.
1216
01:02:17,271 --> 01:02:21,075
[crying] I can't go out there.
I just wanna stay here forever.
1217
01:02:21,141 --> 01:02:23,277
-Oh, my boy.
-[sobbing]
1218
01:02:23,344 --> 01:02:26,648
No one could never
replace her.
1219
01:02:26,715 --> 01:02:28,617
But you listen to me.
1220
01:02:28,683 --> 01:02:32,152
From this moment on,
anything she would have done...
1221
01:02:32,987 --> 01:02:35,956
I will carry out, in her name.
1222
01:02:36,023 --> 01:02:41,262
When you are overseas,
I will stay here at home.
1223
01:02:41,328 --> 01:02:44,999
And I will work,
and I will worry.
1224
01:02:46,834 --> 01:02:48,536
Trust me.
1225
01:02:50,771 --> 01:02:54,908
Now, you go and you stand
by your papa.
1226
01:02:54,975 --> 01:02:56,377
You comfort him.
1227
01:02:57,278 --> 01:02:59,046
You comfort him.
1228
01:02:59,113 --> 01:03:01,415
Comfort your friends
and your family,
1229
01:03:01,482 --> 01:03:03,551
and even your fans. Hmm?
1230
01:03:03,618 --> 01:03:06,920
Because if you don't do that...
1231
01:03:06,987 --> 01:03:09,890
all that your mama
has sacrificed for you
1232
01:03:09,957 --> 01:03:11,959
will be for nothing.
1233
01:03:13,561 --> 01:03:14,895
[crying]
1234
01:03:15,829 --> 01:03:17,164
[Elvis] No matter what happens,
1235
01:03:17,231 --> 01:03:19,900
you stay with me
through thick and thin, okay?
1236
01:03:19,967 --> 01:03:23,337
You're like a...
like a father to me.

Like A Motherless Child"]

[Parker] I needed
to protect him.
1241
01:04:04,512 --> 01:04:06,413
Even from himself.
1242
01:04:11,485 --> 01:04:15,724
My plan, Elvis Presley
would return
1243
01:04:15,790 --> 01:04:20,194
a clean-cut, all-American boy.
1244
01:04:21,596 --> 01:04:22,863
But...

[thunder rumbling]
1246
01:04:25,065 --> 01:04:26,333
...I did not consider
1247
01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:29,136

of all.
1248

1252
01:04:45,787 --> 01:04:49,524
of a United States
Air Force officer.
1253
01:04:51,925 --> 01:04:53,894
And then he said to me...
1254
01:04:53,961 --> 01:04:55,362
[sucks, exhales]
1255
01:04:55,429 --> 01:04:57,030
[gruff voice]
"You know what, Priscilla?

01:04:57,097 --> 01:04:58,700
You gotta listen to me,
sweetie,
1257

because this guy, he's got
girls all over the world, okay?
1258
01:05:01,435 --> 01:05:03,103
He's got girls waiting
outside of his house

and girls writing him
endless fan mail."
1260
01:05:04,938 --> 01:05:07,341
[in normal voice]
And then Mommy decides
to pitch in and go,
1261
01:05:07,408 --> 01:05:09,577
"Ooh, what could he possibly
see in you, okay?
1262

-And--
-[gasps]
1264

we talk and we listen
to music, okay? That's all."
1266
01:05:20,954 --> 01:05:23,457
And then they were going on
and on about that photo of you
1267
01:05:23,525 --> 01:05:26,126
and Natalie Wood riding around
on that bike in Memphis,
1268

and then what I said...
1269
01:05:28,596 --> 01:05:31,833
And I said this really calmly,
I said, "Listen, okay?

01:05:31,900 --> 01:05:36,470
He's just really lonely.
And quite frankly, so am I."
1271
01:05:38,372 --> 01:05:41,008
And then
they didn't really know
what to say after that,
1272
01:05:41,074 --> 01:05:44,579
so I went upstairs
and I went to bed.
1273
01:05:44,646 --> 01:05:47,047
Never met anyone like you.
1274
01:05:47,114 --> 01:05:48,449
Well, I hope not.
1275
01:05:50,552 --> 01:05:53,954
So... what
is Natalie Wood like?
1276
01:05:54,988 --> 01:05:56,423
She's nice, you know.
1277
01:05:56,490 --> 01:05:58,258
She's been writing me
about acting.
1278
01:05:58,325 --> 01:06:00,662
I've been asking her
stories about...
1279

1280
01:06:02,697 --> 01:06:05,232
God, I just hope to one day
be as good as him, you know?
1281
01:06:05,299 --> 01:06:06,266
Mmm.

Colonel's promised me
that when I get back
1283
01:06:13,474 --> 01:06:16,176
he's gonna set me up
in Hollywood
to be a serious actor.
1284
01:06:19,112 --> 01:06:22,517
That's really what I dream of.
1285
01:06:22,584 --> 01:06:25,986
Hey, E.P., E.P.,
now, you promised the captain
1286
01:06:26,053 --> 01:06:28,455
that you'd get her home
by 7:00.

Hey, Charlie.
What's that behind you?
1288
01:06:30,692 --> 01:06:32,292
What? No...
1289

He don't boss me around.

You know, I think
if you dream it, you'll do it.

want to sing in your films,

You want to be
a dramatic actor.
1300
01:07:35,289 --> 01:07:37,324
[Elvis] Well, sir, that's
my big ambition now.
1301
01:07:37,391 --> 01:07:40,460
It takes a lot of time,
a lot of experience.

as good as Brando.
1303
01:07:44,532 --> 01:07:48,736
But you didn't want to see him
in movies where he didn't sing.
1304
01:07:48,803 --> 01:07:50,437

A little less conversation

up higher

pretty women
Waitin' out there

And the honeymoon

And introducing
Baby Lisa Marie.

I made him the highest paid
actor in Hollywood history.

We had a lot of fun!
1323
01:08:50,932 --> 01:08:53,133
But Elvis was a young man,
1324
01:08:53,200 --> 01:08:55,536
and of course,
he got distracted.
1325
01:08:55,603 --> 01:09:00,642
So we made them faster
and cheaper.

and the horses,

01:10:03,171 --> 01:10:04,505
that's gonna cover the payroll,
1344

01:11:19,547 --> 01:11:20,948
for every nickel they had
1381
01:11:21,015 --> 01:11:23,450
and now it is time
for us to pack up our tents
1382
01:11:23,518 --> 01:11:25,485
and move on
to even greener pastures.
1383
01:11:25,553 --> 01:11:27,221
We've seen "Elvis the Rebel,"
1384
01:11:27,287 --> 01:11:28,923
we've seen
"Elvis the Movie Star."
1385
01:11:28,990 --> 01:11:32,660
Now we will see
"Elvis the Family Entertainer."
1386
01:11:32,727 --> 01:11:34,461
And appliance salesman?
1387
01:11:36,496 --> 01:11:38,465
What did you say?
1388
01:11:38,533 --> 01:11:40,902
Listen, Jerry,
I don't need you to question me
1389
01:11:40,968 --> 01:11:44,272
about how I support my family
and every goddamn person here.
1390
01:11:44,337 --> 01:11:45,807
You understand me?
1391
01:11:45,873 --> 01:11:47,875
If you don't like it,
you can go back to Memphis.
1392
01:11:50,111 --> 01:11:51,779
Laugh it up, assholes.
1393
01:12:03,658 --> 01:12:06,027
[male voice singing "Here Comes
Santa Claus" on tape]
1394
01:12:07,795 --> 01:12:09,197
[man] What
a beautiful rendition
1395
01:12:09,263 --> 01:12:11,699
of "Here Comes Santa Claus"
that was,
1396
01:12:11,766 --> 01:12:15,036
with all the sparkle and magic
that the season brings.
1397
01:12:15,102 --> 01:12:17,071
And you'll be even warmer
this season
1398
01:12:17,138 --> 01:12:19,941
in a 12 gauge
cable-knit woolen sweater...
1399
01:12:20,007 --> 01:12:21,809
-Satnin?
-Hi.
1400
01:12:21,876 --> 01:12:24,344
...made right at home
on the Singer Sewer
SK155 home knitter.
1401
01:12:24,411 --> 01:12:27,048
And now, here's Elvis!
1402
01:12:27,114 --> 01:12:28,182
[stops tape]
1403
01:12:28,249 --> 01:12:30,785
[Mahalia Jackson
singing on TV]
1404
01:12:30,852 --> 01:12:33,054
Can I watch the memorial
with you?
1405
01:12:33,120 --> 01:12:34,589
Yeah, baby.
1406
01:12:41,729 --> 01:12:45,032
I'm so tired of playing
Elvis Presley.
1407
01:12:45,099 --> 01:12:47,434
Too many people rely on me.
1408
01:12:47,501 --> 01:12:49,604
[Priscilla sighs]
1409
01:12:50,905 --> 01:12:52,439
I love you.
1410
01:12:52,506 --> 01:12:54,542
And your daughter loves you.
1411
01:12:56,878 --> 01:12:59,180
We don't care about the money
or anything else.
1412
01:12:59,247 --> 01:13:00,848
We just want you to be happy.
1413
01:13:00,915 --> 01:13:02,717
[Jackson singing]
Lord, hold my hand
1414
01:13:02,783 --> 01:13:04,384
And don't let me fall
1415
01:13:04,451 --> 01:13:08,256
You're only really happy when
you sing the music you love.
1416
01:13:08,322 --> 01:13:12,293
[Jackson] Oh
1417
01:13:12,360 --> 01:13:15,596
Take my hand
1418
01:13:15,663 --> 01:13:18,532
[Elvis] Mahalia Jackson.
1419
01:13:18,599 --> 01:13:21,168
I used to hear her sing
at East Street Church.
1420
01:13:21,235 --> 01:13:24,672
[Jackson singing]
Got a feelin' in my body
1421
01:13:24,739 --> 01:13:26,774
That's the music
that makes me happy.
1422
01:13:26,841 --> 01:13:32,246
This will be our lucky day
1423
01:13:32,313 --> 01:13:36,951
So when things are too
dangerous to say... sing!
1424
01:13:37,018 --> 01:13:39,086
["I Got A Feeling In My Body"
playing]
1425
01:13:42,290 --> 01:13:47,395
When Moses walked the children
out of Egypt land
1426
01:13:47,460 --> 01:13:52,166
He said "Now don't you worry
we're in the lord's hands"
1427
01:13:52,233 --> 01:13:56,137
I got a feelin' in my body
1428
01:13:56,203 --> 01:13:59,472
This will be our lucky day
1429
01:14:02,677 --> 01:14:06,681
We'll be released
from all our sorrow
1430
01:14:06,747 --> 01:14:10,051
Leave it layin' along the way
1431
01:14:18,059 --> 01:14:20,995
[Jerry] You gotta meet these
Binder and Bones guys, E.P.
1432
01:14:21,062 --> 01:14:22,430
They're the ones
that put James Brown,
1433
01:14:22,495 --> 01:14:24,932
the Rolling Stones onstage.
1434
01:14:24,999 --> 01:14:26,767
They're doing some
cutting edge stuff.
1435
01:14:26,834 --> 01:14:31,172
Mr. Binder, Mr. Howe...
thanks for coming.
1436
01:14:32,573 --> 01:14:34,775
[helicopter whirring
in distance]
1437
01:14:47,221 --> 01:14:49,623
[Elvis] When I first came
to Hollywood, I'd come up here
1438
01:14:49,690 --> 01:14:51,926
and sit for hours.
1439
01:14:51,993 --> 01:14:53,761
Right over there,
the observatory...
1440
01:14:53,828 --> 01:14:56,430
that's where they shot
Rebel Without a Cause.
1441
01:14:56,496 --> 01:15:01,702
Man, I used to dream of being
a great actor like Jimmy Dean.
1442
01:15:01,769 --> 01:15:04,038
This sign was beautiful then.
1443
01:15:06,240 --> 01:15:07,975
And now...
1444
01:15:08,042 --> 01:15:11,178
Feels as though lots of things
are like that these days.
1445
01:15:11,245 --> 01:15:14,215
Broke down, beat up.
1446
01:15:15,082 --> 01:15:16,083
Rotten.
1447
01:15:18,019 --> 01:15:19,987
I really like
what you guys did,
1448
01:15:20,054 --> 01:15:22,656
putting James Brown
and the Stones together.
1449
01:15:22,723 --> 01:15:26,093
We're, uh...
big fans of yours, too.
1450
01:15:26,160 --> 01:15:28,929
It's just that, Mr. Presley,
we don't usually--
1451
01:15:28,996 --> 01:15:30,264
Oh, Elvis.
1452
01:15:30,331 --> 01:15:31,866
Elvis, uh...
1453
01:15:33,167 --> 01:15:36,137
Christmas specials
aren't really our thing.
1454
01:15:36,203 --> 01:15:37,571
I know.
1455
01:15:39,273 --> 01:15:41,342
Tell me, honestly...
1456
01:15:41,409 --> 01:15:44,111
where do you boys
think my career's at right now?
1457
01:15:46,047 --> 01:15:47,648
Well, it's...
1458
01:15:47,715 --> 01:15:50,684
It's in the toilet, Elvis.
1459
01:15:52,521 --> 01:15:55,122
[both laughing]
1460
01:15:56,190 --> 01:15:58,459
You hear that, Jerry?
1461
01:15:58,527 --> 01:16:01,929
Oh, Lord. I knew you were
the right guys for this job.
1462
01:16:01,996 --> 01:16:04,498
You know,
back when I was starting out,
1463
01:16:04,565 --> 01:16:06,934
some people wanted
to put me in jail,
1464
01:16:07,001 --> 01:16:10,337
even kill me,
'cause of the way I was moving.
1465
01:16:12,507 --> 01:16:14,008
So they cut my hair,
1466
01:16:14,075 --> 01:16:17,178
they put me in uniform
and they sent me away.
1467
01:16:19,947 --> 01:16:21,882
That killed my mother.
1468
01:16:24,819 --> 01:16:26,854
And ever since then...
1469
01:16:28,489 --> 01:16:29,890
I've been lost.
1470
01:16:32,026 --> 01:16:35,029
And when you're lost,
people take advantage.
1471
01:16:37,998 --> 01:16:41,368
I need you fellas to help me
get back to who I really am.
1472
01:16:42,571 --> 01:16:43,971
And who are you, Elvis?
1473
01:16:46,340 --> 01:16:48,609
I sure as hell ain't somebody
who sings Christmas songs
1474
01:16:48,676 --> 01:16:51,546
by a fireplace for an hour.
1475
01:16:51,612 --> 01:16:54,048
[Steve] And what
does the Colonel think?
1476
01:16:54,115 --> 01:16:56,717
I don't give a damn
what the Colonel thinks.
1477
01:16:57,351 --> 01:16:58,819
[rock clattering]
1478
01:17:11,699 --> 01:17:13,267
[Parker]
For this television special,
1479
01:17:13,334 --> 01:17:16,103
we've got this Bindle fella,
number one hotshot director.
1480
01:17:16,170 --> 01:17:19,240
Elvis will be humoring him by
doing a few of his fresh ideas.
1481
01:17:19,306 --> 01:17:20,808
Ah, the sweater!
1482
01:17:20,875 --> 01:17:23,377
To Mr. Presley's
dressing room, please.
1483
01:17:23,444 --> 01:17:26,981
We are going to sing three
spectacular Christmas songs
1484
01:17:27,047 --> 01:17:29,316
-in that very sweater.
-[applause]
1485
01:17:31,051 --> 01:17:34,121
Now, when that sign lights up,
what do you do?
1486
01:17:34,188 --> 01:17:35,956
-Applause.
-[crowd applauding]
1487
01:17:39,460 --> 01:17:41,996
"Silent is the Night"
and "Deck the Halls,"
1488
01:17:42,062 --> 01:17:45,366
and, uh...
"Whose Child Is This?"
1489
01:17:45,432 --> 01:17:47,602
[Elvis] You think
we can do some gospel?
1490
01:17:47,668 --> 01:17:49,136
Well, if you want
to find yourself,
1491
01:17:49,203 --> 01:17:50,938
first thing you do is go home.
1492
01:17:51,005 --> 01:17:54,576
Metaphorically, you know.
Get back to who you really are.
1493
01:17:54,643 --> 01:17:56,443
And what is the boy that--
1494
01:17:56,511 --> 01:17:58,379
-Oh, "The Little Drummer Boy"?
-Yes, "The Little
Drumming Boy."
1495
01:17:58,445 --> 01:17:59,947
Oh, the... with the...
1496
01:18:00,014 --> 01:18:01,982
[Bones] We get your old band
back together.
1497
01:18:02,049 --> 01:18:05,886
But we are going to start with
"Here Comes Santa Claus,"
1498
01:18:05,953 --> 01:18:07,622
isn't that right, Mr. Bindle?
1499
01:18:07,688 --> 01:18:09,456
Uh, the Christmas specials
come later in the show.
1500
01:18:09,524 --> 01:18:10,858
Can you bring up two?
1501
01:18:10,925 --> 01:18:12,693
[Steve] A leather jacket.
Raw, dirty.
1502
01:18:12,760 --> 01:18:16,030
Remember, ladies and gentlemen,
this is television, not radio,
1503
01:18:16,096 --> 01:18:17,731
so when that goes up
and you clap,
1504
01:18:17,798 --> 01:18:18,933
let's see it
on your faces as well.
1505
01:18:18,999 --> 01:18:20,301
[enthusiastic applause]
1506
01:18:20,367 --> 01:18:21,769
[Steve] But you need
an audience.
1507
01:18:21,835 --> 01:18:23,337
[Elvis] Audience?
1508
01:18:23,404 --> 01:18:25,272
-Bring it over to one.
-[Bones] At any second now,
1509
01:18:25,339 --> 01:18:27,274
Elvis is gonna walk onto this
stage and perform just for you.
1510
01:18:27,341 --> 01:18:29,644
[Elvis] I ain't sang in front
of an audience in a long time.
1511
01:18:29,710 --> 01:18:31,078
[Steve] That's my point.
1512
01:18:31,145 --> 01:18:34,381
Ladies and gentlemen,
here's Elvis Presley!
1513
01:18:34,448 --> 01:18:36,116
[applause, cheering]
1514
01:19:12,186 --> 01:19:14,955
Well, since my baby left me
1515
01:19:15,022 --> 01:19:17,491
Well, I found a new place
To dwell
1516
01:19:17,559 --> 01:19:19,728
Well, it's down at the end
Of Lonely Street
1517
01:19:19,827 --> 01:19:22,096
At Heartbreak Hotel
1518
01:19:22,162 --> 01:19:25,799
Where I'll be
I'll be so lonely, baby
1519
01:19:25,866 --> 01:19:28,135
I'll be so lonely
1520
01:19:28,202 --> 01:19:32,106
I'll be so lonely
I could die
1521
01:19:32,172 --> 01:19:35,276
Well, the bellhop's tears
Keep flowin'
1522
01:19:35,342 --> 01:19:38,012
And the desk clerk's
Dressed in black
1523
01:19:38,078 --> 01:19:40,414
Well, they've been so long
On Lonely Street
1524
01:19:40,481 --> 01:19:44,218
Well, they'll never
They'll never look back
1525
01:19:44,285 --> 01:19:46,554
They'll be so lonely, baby
1526
01:19:46,621 --> 01:19:49,056
They'll be so lonely
1527
01:19:49,123 --> 01:19:51,559
They'll be so lonely
They could die
1528
01:19:51,626 --> 01:19:53,894
[band picks up tempo]
1529
01:19:54,862 --> 01:19:58,365
Well, that was... energetic.
1530
01:20:00,301 --> 01:20:03,037
You ain't nothin'
But a hound dog
1531
01:20:03,103 --> 01:20:05,105
Snoopin' at my door
1532
01:20:05,172 --> 01:20:07,808
You ain't nothin'
But a hound dog
1533
01:20:07,875 --> 01:20:10,344
Cryin' all the time
1534
01:20:10,411 --> 01:20:12,146
Well, you ain't never
Caught a rabbit
1535
01:20:12,212 --> 01:20:15,115
You ain't no friend of mine
1536
01:20:15,684 --> 01:20:16,884
Come on!
1537
01:20:18,018 --> 01:20:20,054
Colonel...
1538
01:20:20,120 --> 01:20:22,423
Is "Here Comes
Santa Claus" next?
1539
01:20:22,489 --> 01:20:23,991
Absolutely.
1540
01:20:24,058 --> 01:20:26,493
I see no reason why not.
1541
01:20:26,561 --> 01:20:30,264
He's not in the swe-- he's not
even wearing the sweater.
1542
01:20:30,331 --> 01:20:33,367
Well, it's one for the money
Two for the show
1543
01:20:33,434 --> 01:20:35,436
Three to get ready
Now go, cat, go
1544
01:20:35,503 --> 01:20:40,040
But don't you
Step on my blue suede shoes
1545
01:20:40,107 --> 01:20:42,409
I do not know
what is going on.
1546
01:20:42,476 --> 01:20:43,545
Singing "Hound Dog"?
1547
01:20:43,611 --> 01:20:45,513
What does that have to do
with Christmas?
1548
01:20:45,580 --> 01:20:48,182
Blue, blue, blue suede shoes

01:28:53,067 --> 01:28:55,203
even its common decency.
1721
01:28:55,269 --> 01:28:56,804
200 million Americans
1722
01:28:56,871 --> 01:29:00,274
did not strike down
Robert Kennedy last night,
1723
01:29:00,340 --> 01:29:01,676
any more than they struck down
1724
01:29:01,742 --> 01:29:05,780
President John F. Kennedy
in 1963,
1725
01:29:05,847 --> 01:29:09,283
or Dr. Martin Luther King
in April of this year.
1726
01:29:09,349 --> 01:29:11,719
My fellow citizens, we cannot,
1727
01:29:11,786 --> 01:29:14,387
we just must not tolerate
the sway
1728
01:29:14,454 --> 01:29:16,591
of violent men among us.
1729
01:29:16,657 --> 01:29:20,728
We must not permit men
that are filled with hate--
1730
01:29:21,562 --> 01:29:24,232
[flicking switches]
1731
01:29:24,298 --> 01:29:27,034
[piano notes playing]
1732
01:29:29,570 --> 01:29:34,008
[Elvis singing]
Here comes Santa Claus
1733
01:29:37,078 --> 01:29:41,849
Here comes Santa Claus
1734
01:29:42,917 --> 01:29:47,588
Right down Santa Claus...
1735
01:29:54,829 --> 01:29:58,065
We're pretty set for the number
tomorrow, right, E.P.?
1736
01:29:58,132 --> 01:30:01,468
It's pretty familiar territory,
right?
1737
01:30:03,604 --> 01:30:05,940
A reverend once told me...
1738
01:30:07,842 --> 01:30:10,945
"When things are too dangerous
to say...
1739
01:30:13,480 --> 01:30:15,415
sing."
1740
01:30:32,166 --> 01:30:34,936
[piano playing
"If I Can Dream" melody]
1741
01:30:38,172 --> 01:30:44,145
[singing]
There must be lights
Burning brighter somewhere
1742
01:30:45,546 --> 01:30:50,017
Got to be birds
flying higher
1743
01:30:50,084 --> 01:30:53,486
In a sky more blue
1744
01:30:53,554 --> 01:30:55,389
[orchestra joining in]
1745
01:30:55,455 --> 01:30:57,959
[stage manager] Standing by.
We're seconds away, folks.
1746
01:30:58,025 --> 01:30:59,660
We're just waiting on upstairs.
1747
01:30:59,727 --> 01:31:02,129
We're gonna get a rehearsal
going very shortly.
1748
01:31:02,196 --> 01:31:05,099
Let's go, let's go, people!
First positions!
1749
01:31:05,166 --> 01:31:06,634
Here we go, from the top.
1750
01:31:06,701 --> 01:31:09,870
Mrs. Presley is quite
the homemaker, Priscilla is,
1751
01:31:09,937 --> 01:31:11,305
and I'm sure
she would love to have
1752
01:31:11,372 --> 01:31:14,742
one of the SK551 machines
so she can knit Elvis's--
1753
01:31:14,809 --> 01:31:16,978
-They were in there all night.
-Doing what?
1754
01:31:17,044 --> 01:31:19,213
He's working on a new song.
He says he's singing it.
1755
01:31:19,280 --> 01:31:20,815
New song? Whoa, hey!
1756
01:31:20,881 --> 01:31:23,483
It's beginning to look
a lot like Christmas. Yes!
1757
01:31:23,551 --> 01:31:25,619
Gentlemen, take your seats.
1758
01:31:27,922 --> 01:31:30,958
Now, that's
a winter wonderland.
1759
01:31:31,025 --> 01:31:32,492
Mr. Bindle.
1760
01:31:32,560 --> 01:31:37,631
You and I are
on the same page at last.
1761
01:31:37,698 --> 01:31:39,533
Bring up the lights
on the sign.
1762
01:31:39,600 --> 01:31:42,036
Okay, yeah. Let's go.
1763
01:31:42,103 --> 01:31:44,839
[stage manager] Dancers, stop.
Dancers, stop. Stop!
1764
01:31:45,606 --> 01:31:48,242
Turn about. Turn about.
1765
01:31:48,309 --> 01:31:50,277
You've got to get some roll.
I got action on the right side.
1766
01:31:50,344 --> 01:31:53,114
Turn around. Come on,
through, through, through!
1767
01:31:56,417 --> 01:31:58,886
We're lost in a cloud
1768
01:32:00,187 --> 01:32:02,790
With too much rain
1769
01:32:03,891 --> 01:32:06,660
We're trapped in a world
1770
01:32:07,728 --> 01:32:11,365
That's troubled with pain
1771
01:32:11,432 --> 01:32:17,638
But as long as a man
Has the strength to dream
1772
01:32:17,705 --> 01:32:24,812
He can redeem
his soul and fly
1773
01:32:28,983 --> 01:32:36,657
Deep in my heart
There's a trembling question
1774
01:32:36,724 --> 01:32:40,694
Still, I am sure
That the answer's
1775
01:32:40,761 --> 01:32:44,331
Answer's gonna come
somehow
1776
01:32:44,398 --> 01:32:47,868
Out there in the dark
1777
01:32:47,935 --> 01:32:52,073
There's a beckoning candle,
yeah
1778
01:32:52,139 --> 01:32:55,876
And while I can think
While I can talk
1779
01:32:55,943 --> 01:33:00,147
While I can stand
While I can walk
1780
01:33:00,214 --> 01:33:03,651
While I can dream
1781
01:33:03,717 --> 01:33:07,788
Oh, please let my dream
1782
01:33:07,855 --> 01:33:11,725
Come true, oh
1783
01:33:15,329 --> 01:33:18,899
Right now
1784
01:33:18,966 --> 01:33:21,802
Let it come true right now
1785
01:33:27,842 --> 01:33:30,711
[song ends]
1786
01:33:32,813 --> 01:33:34,115
[faint applause]
1787
01:33:34,181 --> 01:33:36,150
[Elvis on monitor]
Thank you. Good night.
1788
01:33:36,217 --> 01:33:38,752
[Parker] I was always said,
when it came to music,
1789
01:33:38,819 --> 01:33:40,454
my boy knows best.
1790
01:33:40,522 --> 01:33:45,392
But the special was my idea.
It was a tremendous hit.
1791
01:33:46,427 --> 01:33:47,995
We was back on top.
1792
01:33:48,062 --> 01:33:51,866
But some people were
putting ideas into his head
1793
01:33:51,932 --> 01:33:55,703
that he didn't need me no more.
1794
01:33:55,769 --> 01:33:58,405
["Any Day Now"
by Presley playing]
1795
01:34:01,408 --> 01:34:02,743
[Priscilla] Whoo-hoo!
1796
01:34:03,911 --> 01:34:05,146
It's working.
1797
01:34:05,212 --> 01:34:06,714
[Jerry] London, Germany,
Japan...
1798
01:34:06,780 --> 01:34:08,349
Hulett here has got it
all lined up.
1799
01:34:08,415 --> 01:34:10,084
Air Presley's new wings.
1800
01:34:10,151 --> 01:34:12,153
[Hulett] You know, when you
play stadiums, it's like...
1801
01:34:12,219 --> 01:34:14,088
you do a week of shows
in just one night.
1802
01:34:14,155 --> 01:34:16,457
And when it's done,
you get on the plane...
1803
01:34:16,525 --> 01:34:18,560
You go where you want,
you play where you want,
1804
01:34:18,627 --> 01:34:21,195
and if they don't like it,
you go someplace else.
1805
01:34:21,262 --> 01:34:23,197
You know who told me that?
B.B. King.
1806
01:34:23,264 --> 01:34:25,132
[Hulett]
Well, B.B. knows, man.
1807
01:34:25,199 --> 01:34:27,536
And the someplace else
you should be going
is overseas.
1808
01:34:27,602 --> 01:34:29,136
I like that.
1809
01:34:29,203 --> 01:34:31,405
You know, I heard last year
alone, you had two offers.
1810
01:34:31,472 --> 01:34:32,840
Germany and Japan,
1811
01:34:32,907 --> 01:34:35,843
for a million bucks
for one night.
1812
01:34:35,910 --> 01:34:38,245
I mean, why the Colonel
would turn that down,
1813
01:34:38,312 --> 01:34:39,548
I have no idea, man.
1814
01:34:39,614 --> 01:34:42,316
Well, if you figure it out,
can you let us know?
1815
01:34:42,383 --> 01:34:43,751
Yeah.
1816
01:34:43,817 --> 01:34:44,685
[Hulett] Well, screw him.
You've got the plane now.
1817
01:34:44,752 --> 01:34:46,086
You should use it.
1818
01:34:46,153 --> 01:34:48,122
[Elvis] Yeah, come to Daddy.
1819
01:34:48,189 --> 01:34:50,191
Maybe we should call it
the "Lisa Marie."
1820
01:34:50,257 --> 01:34:51,626
[Jerry]
That's a beautiful name.
1821
01:34:51,692 --> 01:34:52,960
[Priscilla] Right?
1822
01:34:55,296 --> 01:34:58,332
[Parker] Hit me. Hit me.
1823
01:34:58,399 --> 01:35:02,937
Mr. Parker, Mr. Kohn
would like to see you.
1824
01:35:03,003 --> 01:35:05,472
Colonel Parker. Hit me.
1825
01:35:07,576 --> 01:35:09,777
[dealer] I can't, sorry.
1826
01:35:12,446 --> 01:35:15,049
[Kohn] You've run up
quite a tab, Colonel.
1827
01:35:15,115 --> 01:35:18,719
And we hear your boy's working
with new people.
1828
01:35:19,588 --> 01:35:22,356
You've lost your meal ticket.
1829
01:35:22,423 --> 01:35:24,659
It's time to settle up,
1830
01:35:24,725 --> 01:35:27,294
before we have
to make things...
1831
01:35:27,361 --> 01:35:29,263
Uncomfortable.
1832
01:35:29,330 --> 01:35:32,499
Well, before the army, we found
no record of you at all.
1833
01:35:32,567 --> 01:35:35,169
No passport, no residency.
1834
01:35:35,236 --> 01:35:38,138
You were never a colonel.
Never a Tom.
1835
01:35:38,205 --> 01:35:40,040
You weren't even a Parker.
1836
01:35:40,107 --> 01:35:45,913
Why did you flee Holland,
Andreas van Kuijk?

01:35:49,350 --> 01:35:51,185
-[brushing teeth]
-[Priscilla] I don't know why
1838
01:35:51,252 --> 01:35:53,020
you can't just let
the lawyers take care of it.
1839
01:35:53,087 --> 01:35:54,623
[Elvis] I have to see him
in Vegas.
1840
01:35:54,689 --> 01:35:57,091
He's in the hospital.
It's the right thing to do.
1841
01:35:57,157 --> 01:35:58,392
-Yeah, well...
-He's frail right now.
1842
01:35:58,459 --> 01:35:59,860
-You know what he's like, baby.
-[slaps]
1843
01:35:59,927 --> 01:36:01,795
-Hey! Watch it.
-[chatter on TV]
1844
01:36:01,862 --> 01:36:03,665
You know what he's like.
The second that
you're near him,
1845
01:36:03,732 --> 01:36:06,200
you'll be under ten feet
of snow before you know
what's happened.
1846
01:36:06,267 --> 01:36:09,504
[spits] My mind's made up.
Business is business.
1847
01:36:09,571 --> 01:36:10,871
He and I are done.
1848
01:36:10,938 --> 01:36:12,641
But I owe it to him
to tell him to his face.
1849
01:36:12,707 --> 01:36:16,443
Well, just make sure he
doesn't clip your wings, honey.
1850
01:36:16,511 --> 01:36:18,112
[spits] He won't!
1851
01:36:18,178 --> 01:36:20,715
I am gonna go
see him in Vegas.
1852
01:36:20,781 --> 01:36:25,486
I'm gonna look him in the eyes,
and I'm gonna tell him...
1853
01:36:25,553 --> 01:36:27,722
-[Priscilla] Watch my hair.
-[Elvis] I'm gonna tell him...
1854
01:36:27,788 --> 01:36:29,290
-Mmm-hmm.
-Mmm-hmm.

Oh. My boy.

come down to see you.

You're not meant
to get out of bed.

Heart attack?
Colonel, you said your back--

01:37:21,375 --> 01:37:25,379
My heart just stopped is all,

It was all the excitement about
the Christmas special, you see.

01:37:34,288 --> 01:37:35,590
I should never have worried,

because you came through
like you always do.

01:37:39,527 --> 01:37:44,064
Nobody can sell "show"

our separate ways.
1889
01:38:03,016 --> 01:38:05,587
[slot machines
clattering faintly]
1890
01:38:06,688 --> 01:38:08,523
Well, you may be right.
1891
01:38:08,590 --> 01:38:11,258
Maybe it is time for me
to retire.
1892
01:38:11,325 --> 01:38:13,494
Oh, come on, Colonel,
quit snowin' me.
1893
01:38:13,561 --> 01:38:14,928
You ain't retiring.
1894
01:38:14,995 --> 01:38:19,133
I will miss the circus. I will.
1895
01:38:19,199 --> 01:38:21,636
But I cannot keep up
with these young fellas,
1896
01:38:21,703 --> 01:38:23,203
like your Mr. Hulett,
1897
01:38:23,270 --> 01:38:26,140
who wants to put together
a new show
1898
01:38:26,206 --> 01:38:28,909
for an international tour,
1899
01:38:28,976 --> 01:38:31,345
for you to play stadiums.
1900
01:38:31,412 --> 01:38:36,718
These international tours
are very, very expensive.
1901
01:38:36,785 --> 01:38:40,387
And the costs
cut into the artist's profits.
1902
01:38:40,454 --> 01:38:42,456
I worry that the financial risk
1903
01:38:42,524 --> 01:38:45,593
would put a strain
on your daddy.
1904
01:38:45,660 --> 01:38:47,161
But I cannot help but think,
1905
01:38:47,227 --> 01:38:49,163
as your former
technical advisor
1906
01:38:49,229 --> 01:38:52,332
and as an old friend,
what if...
1907
01:38:52,399 --> 01:38:57,371
the next Elvis Presley show
did not cost you a red cent?
1908
01:38:59,908 --> 01:39:05,379
I wonder if your daddy would
not like the sound of that.
1909
01:39:06,581 --> 01:39:10,217
The brand-new
International Hotel.
1910
01:39:29,537 --> 01:39:32,272
[whistles]
It's a mighty big stage.
1911
01:39:32,339 --> 01:39:34,341
The biggest in Las Vegas.
1912
01:39:34,408 --> 01:39:36,511
You could get lost
in a place like this.
1913
01:39:36,578 --> 01:39:39,413
My boy, you performed
that comeback special
1914
01:39:39,480 --> 01:39:42,584
on a tiny square,
inside a studio,
1915
01:39:42,650 --> 01:39:44,218
and the fans loved it.
1916
01:39:44,284 --> 01:39:45,720
In a room this size,
1917
01:39:45,787 --> 01:39:50,491
you could give them
the greatest show on earth.
1918
01:39:50,558 --> 01:39:54,294
Nothing less
than Elvis Presley.
1919
01:39:54,361 --> 01:39:57,532
I've been experimenting
with a new, big sound.
1920
01:39:57,599 --> 01:39:58,666
Good. Good, my boy.
1921
01:39:58,733 --> 01:40:00,802
Because you can fill up
this entire stage
1922
01:40:00,869 --> 01:40:03,771
with every musical idea
that is inside that head.
1923
01:40:04,939 --> 01:40:06,273
No, it would cost.
1924
01:40:06,340 --> 01:40:08,676
[laughing]
Yes, that's the beauty of it.
1925
01:40:08,743 --> 01:40:10,612
You see, this here
International Hotel--
1926
01:40:10,678 --> 01:40:13,313
-[voices chattering]
-[door shuts]
1927
01:40:16,985 --> 01:40:18,720
[quietly]
This International Hotel...
1928
01:40:18,786 --> 01:40:19,787
[Elvis] Mmm-hmm.
1929
01:40:19,854 --> 01:40:22,456
...needs a major drawing card
1930
01:40:22,524 --> 01:40:26,326
to pull in all the rubes
and put it on the map.
1931
01:40:26,393 --> 01:40:29,196
So they will cover
all of the costs
1932
01:40:29,263 --> 01:40:31,298
of putting together your show.
1933
01:40:31,365 --> 01:40:33,133
And you just play here
for six weeks,
1934
01:40:33,200 --> 01:40:35,068
and then off you go,
1935
01:40:35,135 --> 01:40:37,739
to tour around the world
1936
01:40:37,805 --> 01:40:41,910
with no financial risk
to Elvis Presley Enterprises.
1937
01:40:41,976 --> 01:40:43,377
None.
1938
01:40:48,016 --> 01:40:50,217
Well, goddamn.
1939
01:40:53,021 --> 01:40:54,689
[both chuckling]
1940
01:40:56,558 --> 01:40:59,459
-Snowman strikes again.
-[laughing] Oh, yeah.
1941
01:40:59,527 --> 01:41:03,698
We're going to make it snow.
It will snow.
1942
01:41:03,765 --> 01:41:06,166
[Elvis] First of all,
we're gonna need
the Sweet Inspirations.
1943
01:41:06,233 --> 01:41:08,435
[singing] Yeah, yeah
1944
01:41:08,503 --> 01:41:10,270
[Elvis] And the Imperials.
1945
01:41:10,337 --> 01:41:12,707
[singing] We're caught
in a trap
I can't walk out
1946
01:41:12,774 --> 01:41:14,976
[Elvis]
And a 30-piece orchestra.
1947
01:41:15,043 --> 01:41:18,613
[musicians warming up]
1948
01:41:22,316 --> 01:41:25,185
[Elvis] You know,
the first thing
that I ever recorded,
1949
01:41:25,252 --> 01:41:26,654
the very first thing,
1950
01:41:26,721 --> 01:41:29,657
was an old, uh, rhythm
and blues-type song
1951
01:41:29,724 --> 01:41:31,859
called "That's All Right,
Little Mama."
1952
01:41:31,926 --> 01:41:34,494
-[instruments continue playing]
-And back then we only had
1953
01:41:34,562 --> 01:41:37,665
two or three instruments
at the time.
1954
01:41:37,732 --> 01:41:39,701
But this ain't
no nostalgia show.
1955
01:41:39,767 --> 01:41:41,903
We're gonna do something
different.
1956
01:41:41,970 --> 01:41:43,638
[instruments stop playing]
1957
01:41:45,740 --> 01:41:50,011
I, uh...
I wanna try something new.
1958
01:41:50,078 --> 01:41:53,982
All right, Glen, you're gonna
start us off, okay?
1959
01:41:54,048 --> 01:41:55,449
Take the intro here.
1960
01:41:56,116 --> 01:41:59,386
[scatting softly]
1961
01:41:59,453 --> 01:42:02,255
[Glen playing lively rhythm]
1962
01:42:06,159 --> 01:42:08,462
[piano continues playing]
1963
01:42:12,466 --> 01:42:14,167
All right, bring that
bass up, Jerry.
1964
01:42:14,234 --> 01:42:16,904
-[bass thrumming]
-[drums accompanying]
1965
01:42:18,640 --> 01:42:19,774
Keep playing.
1966
01:42:22,076 --> 01:42:23,578
[band member] Whoo!
1967
01:42:23,645 --> 01:42:26,279

[The Imperials]
That's all right

01:42:31,786 --> 01:42:32,486
[Elvis] With me.
1973
01:42:32,553 --> 01:42:34,254
[all] Any way you do
1974
01:42:34,321 --> 01:42:35,389
[Elvis] All right.
1975
01:42:40,293 --> 01:42:41,763
[Elvis] James, you ready?
1976

-[playing guitar riff]
-[Elvis] Oh!
1977

Flames, man!
1978
01:42:51,706 --> 01:42:53,908
Flames are coming
out of that guitar.
1979
01:42:53,975 --> 01:42:56,744
I got that. Ronnie.
1980
01:42:56,811 --> 01:42:57,912
I'll get back to that.
1981
01:42:58,713 --> 01:43:01,381
Horns, you ready?
1982
01:43:01,448 --> 01:43:05,019
Ba-da-bom! Ba-da-bom!

Let's up the octave!

in higher range]

-Yeah! Goddamn!

[Elvis] Ronnie,
you know what to do, man.
1991
01:43:26,406 --> 01:43:28,475
Do it to me, come on.
Take us home.

Ain't nobody gonna do
a better show than that.

01:46:11,239 --> 01:46:12,607
I tell ya, if I was you,
2032
01:46:12,673 --> 01:46:15,009
I would book him
for a hundred years.
2033
01:46:16,344 --> 01:46:19,146
Well, no better time
than the present.
2034
01:46:19,213 --> 01:46:22,617
But we hear Hulett has him
doing a world tour.
2035
01:46:22,683 --> 01:46:24,151
[Elvis speaking indistinctly]
2036
01:46:24,218 --> 01:46:27,255
Well, well, well, uh,
I think Mr. Presley
2037
01:46:27,321 --> 01:46:31,025
could be persuaded to make
the International his home,
2038
01:46:31,092 --> 01:46:34,729
provided he was paid
pretty well.
2039
01:46:34,795 --> 01:46:36,364
What did you have in mind?
2040
01:46:36,463 --> 01:46:38,766
I'd like to introduce to you
a couple of people tonight,
2041
01:46:38,833 --> 01:46:41,569
one of which being
my beautiful wife, Priscilla.

[applause, whistling]
2043
01:46:43,470 --> 01:46:44,872
Would you stand up, honey?
2044
01:46:44,939 --> 01:46:48,643
For an attraction as tremendous
as Mr. Presley...
2045
01:46:48,709 --> 01:46:52,280
-[woman] We love you,
Priscilla!
-[Elvis chuckles]
2046
01:46:52,346 --> 01:46:55,883
Also, this man over here,
I wouldn't be here without,
2047
01:46:55,950 --> 01:46:59,320
my manager of many years,
Colonel Sanders.
2048
01:46:59,387 --> 01:47:02,957
-Parker. Parker.
-[laughter]
2049
01:47:03,024 --> 01:47:05,326
Well, we're gonna do a new song
for you tonight.
2050
01:47:05,393 --> 01:47:07,528
It's called "Suspicious Minds."
2051
01:47:07,595 --> 01:47:08,996
"Suspicious Minds."
2052
01:47:09,063 --> 01:47:11,699
[guitar playing intro]
2053
01:47:13,334 --> 01:47:15,202
We're caught in a trap
2054
01:47:16,804 --> 01:47:19,073
I can't walk out
2055
01:47:20,508 --> 01:47:26,113
Because I love you
Too much, baby
2056
01:47:28,316 --> 01:47:29,850
Why can't you see
2057
01:47:29,917 --> 01:47:33,988
Oh, what you're doin' to me
2058
01:47:34,055 --> 01:47:40,227
Oh, when you don't believe
A word I'm sayin'?
2059
01:47:42,863 --> 01:47:49,437
We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
2060
01:47:49,503 --> 01:47:52,540
And we can't build our dreams
2061
01:47:52,606 --> 01:47:56,277
On suspicious minds
2062
01:47:56,344 --> 01:48:00,214
So, if an old friend I know
Shove it up your nose
2063
01:48:00,281 --> 01:48:02,383
Stops by to say hello
2064
01:48:02,450 --> 01:48:03,985
[laughter, applause]
2065
01:48:04,051 --> 01:48:11,392
Would I still see suspicion
in your eyes?
2066
01:48:11,459 --> 01:48:14,895
That is what my boy
would expect.
2067
01:48:16,731 --> 01:48:19,467
Now... [laughs]
2068
01:48:19,533 --> 01:48:22,136
What are you going to pay me?
2069
01:48:22,203 --> 01:48:24,905
[both laughing]
2070
01:48:27,241 --> 01:48:31,078
Oh, let our love survive
2071
01:48:31,145 --> 01:48:36,317
Colonel, your sideshow
is the jackpot.
2072
01:48:36,384 --> 01:48:37,752
[laughs]
2073
01:48:37,818 --> 01:48:40,388
[Kohn] If you bring him back
every year,
2074
01:48:40,454 --> 01:48:42,823
I'll make it worth your while.
2075
01:48:42,890 --> 01:48:45,526
[Elvis] Oh, I've never...
2076
01:48:47,695 --> 01:48:50,498

2077
01:48:51,499 --> 01:48:53,000
Caught in a trap
2078
01:48:54,568 --> 01:48:57,438
I can't walk out
2079
01:48:57,506 --> 01:48:59,206
...good thing die
2080
01:49:01,876 --> 01:49:05,646
Yeah, yeah
Now, don't you know
2081
01:49:05,713 --> 01:49:06,947
Caught in a trap
2082
01:49:07,014 --> 01:49:07,948
[cheering]
2083
01:49:08,883 --> 01:49:10,818
I can't walk out
2084
01:49:12,086 --> 01:49:15,556
Because I love you too much
2085
01:49:19,060 --> 01:49:23,931
Caught in a trap
I can't walk out
2086
01:49:25,099 --> 01:49:28,135
Because I love you too much
2087
01:49:32,006 --> 01:49:36,944
Caught in a trap
I can't walk out
2088
01:49:38,079 --> 01:49:41,115
Because I love you too much
2089
01:49:44,985 --> 01:49:49,356
Caught in a trap
I can't walk out
2090
01:49:50,958 --> 01:49:56,130
Because I love you
Too much, baby
2091
01:49:56,197 --> 01:49:59,366
Oh, don't you know
Caught in a trap
2092
01:50:01,302 --> 01:50:04,772
Of course, I will reserve
the right to sell calendars,
2093
01:50:04,839 --> 01:50:06,207
pictures and such?
2094
01:50:06,273 --> 01:50:09,110
[music subsides]
2095
01:50:09,176 --> 01:50:11,145
[Kohn] You do whatever
you want, Colonel,
2096
01:50:11,212 --> 01:50:15,316
as long as that boy
stays on that stage.
2097
01:50:18,219 --> 01:50:21,255
[song ends]
2098
01:50:21,322 --> 01:50:22,690

01:50:27,361 --> 01:50:29,396
[audio fades]
2100
01:50:29,463 --> 01:50:31,866
[Parker] My boy's light
burned brighter
2101
01:50:31,932 --> 01:50:34,768
than even 15 years before.
2102
01:50:34,835 --> 01:50:36,203
[Elvis] Hi, darlin'.
2103
01:50:38,573 --> 01:50:41,108
[women exclaiming]
2104
01:51:03,898 --> 01:51:06,901
[Parker] I saw in her face
that night
2105
01:51:06,967 --> 01:51:09,870
what I had always known.
2106
01:51:09,937 --> 01:51:15,676
She could never compete
with the love he felt from you.
2107
01:51:18,547 --> 01:51:21,182
[music slowly builds]
2108
01:51:23,350 --> 01:51:25,352
I'm sorry I couldn't
make it up there, man.
2109
01:51:26,887 --> 01:51:31,158
Take my... take my hand
2110
01:51:31,225 --> 01:51:36,063
Take my whole...
whole life too
2111
01:51:36,130 --> 01:51:38,633
For I... for I...
I can't help
2112
01:51:38,699 --> 01:51:40,134
Hey, guys. Time to go back.
2113
01:51:40,201 --> 01:51:44,071
Falling in love with you
2114
01:51:44,138 --> 01:51:49,743
Oh, oh, for I...
For I can't help
2115
01:51:49,810 --> 01:51:53,347
Falling in love
2116
01:51:53,414 --> 01:51:58,819
With you
2117

[band playing final flourish]
2119
01:52:18,739 --> 01:52:20,407
Thank you very much.
2120
01:52:24,512 --> 01:52:26,514
Thank you! Thank you.
2121
01:52:30,685 --> 01:52:33,754
[people chattering excitedly]
2122
01:52:36,223 --> 01:52:38,225
[panting]
2123
01:52:41,028 --> 01:52:42,930
Such a fine show.
2124
01:52:42,997 --> 01:52:45,366
[applause continues faintly]
2125
01:52:46,701 --> 01:52:48,503
[bandmates cheering, clapping]
2126
01:52:48,570 --> 01:52:50,271
[Elvis] Yeah, baby! Yeah.
2127
01:52:50,337 --> 01:52:52,840
-[bandmate 1] Wow, great show.
-Thank you. Thank you, all.
2128
01:52:52,906 --> 01:52:55,242
[bandmate 2] Goddamn, Elvis.
That was great.
2129
01:52:55,309 --> 01:52:56,611
[bandmate 3]
That was fantastic.
2130
01:52:56,678 --> 01:52:57,712
[Elvis] There she is.
2131
01:52:57,778 --> 01:52:59,179

01:53:02,916 --> 01:53:05,386
[crying softly]
2133
01:53:07,522 --> 01:53:10,024
Oh, God. I don't know
who that was out there.
2134
01:53:10,090 --> 01:53:12,259
You were... You...
2135
01:53:12,326 --> 01:53:13,961
You were incredible.
You were...
2136
01:53:14,028 --> 01:53:15,162
You were everything.
2137
01:53:15,229 --> 01:53:18,899
Thank you, baby. Thank you.
2138
01:53:20,635 --> 01:53:22,403
Mr. Elvis Presley,
2139
01:53:22,469 --> 01:53:25,406
I guess that's your
new manager over there, hmm?
2140
01:53:25,472 --> 01:53:27,041
-Mmm.
-Mmm-hmm.
2141
01:53:27,107 --> 01:53:29,310
Yeah. I'm gonna go talk to him,
all right?
2142
01:53:29,376 --> 01:53:31,378
-Okay.
-You okay to get upstairs?
2143
01:53:31,445 --> 01:53:32,514
Mmm-hmm. Yeah.
2144
01:53:34,315 --> 01:53:35,282
[sighs]
2145
01:53:47,562 --> 01:53:50,765
Tremendous...
tremendous triumph.
2146
01:53:50,864 --> 01:53:53,501
The greatest show on earth.
2147
01:53:53,568 --> 01:53:58,339
My dear boy, this brainchild
came from you and me,
2148
01:53:58,405 --> 01:54:02,142
but you alone
rose above it all,
and it worked with your talent,
2149
01:54:02,209 --> 01:54:05,714
and your dedication.
[emotional laugh]
2150
01:54:05,780 --> 01:54:07,247
We did it. We did it!
2151
01:54:07,314 --> 01:54:09,316
-We did it. [chuckles]
-We did.
2152
01:54:10,819 --> 01:54:13,688
Come on.
[exhausted laugh]
2153
01:54:13,755 --> 01:54:15,389
[exhaling]
2154
01:54:15,456 --> 01:54:18,492
I can't wait to show the world
what you and I can do.
2155
01:54:21,128 --> 01:54:23,397
The world will see this show.
2156
01:54:23,464 --> 01:54:25,700
Whatever it takes,
I guarantee it.
2157
01:54:25,767 --> 01:54:27,234
Whatever I have to do.
2158
01:54:31,138 --> 01:54:32,439
[man] Ladies and gentlemen
of the press,
2159
01:54:32,507 --> 01:54:35,543
the King of Rock and Roll,
Elvis Presley!

[reporters clamoring]
2161
01:54:37,211 --> 01:54:38,680
[Elvis] No, I'm not the king.
2162
01:54:38,747 --> 01:54:41,516
Hey, Fats. Mr. Fats Domino,
ladies and gentlemen.
2163
01:54:41,583 --> 01:54:43,618
This is the real king
of rock and roll.
2164
01:54:43,685 --> 01:54:45,085
Yeah, I'm somethin' else.
2165
01:54:45,152 --> 01:54:47,187
[reporter] Any plans
to take this show on tour?
2166
01:54:47,254 --> 01:54:49,323
There's so many places
I haven't been yet, you know.
2167
01:54:49,390 --> 01:54:53,293
I'd like to go to Europe.
I'd like to go to Japan.
2168
01:54:53,360 --> 01:54:55,496
I've never been
out of the country,
2169
01:54:55,563 --> 01:54:56,897
except in the service.
2170

[crowd cheering]
2172
01:55:03,003 --> 01:55:04,639
What are you lookin' at
back there?
2173
01:55:05,540 --> 01:55:06,407
Oh, Mr. Diskin.
2174
01:55:06,473 --> 01:55:08,142
Have we discussed
with Mr. Hulett,
2175
01:55:08,208 --> 01:55:09,943
pertaining
to the death threats?
2176
01:55:10,010 --> 01:55:11,979
The death threats?
2177
01:55:12,045 --> 01:55:14,783
Precisely. Death threats!
2178
01:55:14,849 --> 01:55:16,250
[cheering]
2179
01:55:16,316 --> 01:55:18,385

Grow so mean

[Jerry] Colonel,
once we finish the season,
2186
01:55:33,635 --> 01:55:35,570
Elvis wants
to take the tour overseas.
2187
01:55:35,637 --> 01:55:38,972
Overseas? Have you thought
about security, Jerry?
2188
01:55:39,039 --> 01:55:41,008
[Jerry] Of course I have.
2189
01:55:41,074 --> 01:55:43,043
[Parker] This is Elvis Presley,
2190
01:55:43,110 --> 01:55:46,180
the most famous man
on the planet.

Lord, have mercy

01:55:50,451 --> 01:55:51,952
[Parker] The crazies
in those countries...
2194
01:55:52,019 --> 01:55:54,221
They're a hundred times
more dangerous.
2195
01:55:54,288 --> 01:55:57,090
Am I the only one
who thinks about security?
2196
01:55:57,157 --> 01:56:00,127
Sock a little polk salad
2197
01:56:00,194 --> 01:56:01,663
You know I need it
2198
01:56:03,297 --> 01:56:06,568
There is nothing more important
than security!

[song ends]
2207
01:56:39,266 --> 01:56:41,034
[Parker] Those guys
turned out to be
2208
01:56:41,101 --> 01:56:43,370
some over-excited fans
from Peru.
2209
01:56:43,437 --> 01:56:46,006
But the death threats
were real.
2210
01:56:46,073 --> 01:56:48,442
I'm going back on.
[panting]
2211
01:56:48,510 --> 01:56:50,678
I'll rip his goddamn tongue out
by the roots.
2212
01:56:50,745 --> 01:56:54,582
[Parker] It started
to take its toll.
2213
01:56:54,649 --> 01:56:57,685
Here at Baptist Memorial
Hospital in Midtown Memphis,
2214
01:56:57,752 --> 01:57:00,989
Elvis Presley has apparently
checked in to a private suite,
2215
01:57:01,054 --> 01:57:02,857
suffering from exhaustion.
2216
01:57:02,924 --> 01:57:04,859
A sign that Elvis
is in fact here
2217
01:57:04,926 --> 01:57:08,863
is the aluminum foil
that covers his windows
to deflect the sun.

[TV reporter]
Shock around the nation today
2219
01:57:10,665 --> 01:57:13,066
as a free rock concert
at the Altamont Speedway

by English band
The Rolling Stones,
2221
01:57:15,703 --> 01:57:17,371
ended with four deaths.
2222
01:57:17,437 --> 01:57:20,008
One resulting from a stabbing,
allegedly committed...
2223
01:57:20,073 --> 01:57:22,376
[nurse] Elvis,
Dr. Nick is here.
2224
01:57:24,177 --> 01:57:26,146
[Parker] Such a lovely girl,
Ms. Tate.
2225
01:57:26,213 --> 01:57:28,883
What has happened to law
and order in this country?
2226
01:57:28,950 --> 01:57:30,585
Hippies and radicals,
2227
01:57:30,652 --> 01:57:33,922
threatening and killing
popular entertainers.
2228
01:57:33,988 --> 01:57:38,358
The IRA blowing up England?
Planes exploding in mid-air?
2229
01:57:38,425 --> 01:57:39,761
Has the world gone mad?
2230
01:57:39,827 --> 01:57:42,864
Hulett's security
is not what it needs to be.
2231
01:57:42,931 --> 01:57:44,331
And he knows it.
2232
01:57:44,398 --> 01:57:46,568
An international tour now
is out of the question.
2233
01:57:46,634 --> 01:57:48,503
What are you talking about,
Colonel?
2234
01:57:48,570 --> 01:57:50,705
I ain't gonna let these sons of
bitches push me off the stage.
2235
01:57:50,772 --> 01:57:52,205
Precisely.
2236
01:57:52,272 --> 01:57:54,008
You are not one of Hulett's
long-hair Zeppelins,
2237
01:57:54,074 --> 01:57:56,076
you are Elvis Presley.
2238
01:57:56,143 --> 01:57:57,812
You are beloved.
2239
01:57:57,879 --> 01:58:00,715
And I told him I have to
look Priscilla in the eye,
2240
01:58:00,782 --> 01:58:05,620
and I have to promise her
that little Lisa Marie's daddy
2241
01:58:05,687 --> 01:58:08,723
will be safe while
he's away from home.
2242
01:58:08,790 --> 01:58:10,558
We're taking the show
to the world, Colonel.
2243
01:58:10,625 --> 01:58:13,160
I ain't gonna disappoint
those fans.
2244
01:58:17,264 --> 01:58:19,199
Well...
2245
01:58:19,266 --> 01:58:24,338
If you want to book more dates,
we could do an American tour,
2246
01:58:24,404 --> 01:58:26,674
15 cities in 15 days,
2247
01:58:26,741 --> 01:58:30,310
while Mr. Hulett
straightens out his security
problems overseas.
2248
01:58:30,377 --> 01:58:32,479
I'd like that
very much, son.
2249
01:58:32,547 --> 01:58:34,114
How is that gonna be any safer?
2250
01:58:34,181 --> 01:58:36,283
[Parker] Because staying
in this country,
2251
01:58:36,350 --> 01:58:40,187
I can handle every aspect
of security.
2252
01:58:40,253 --> 01:58:41,689
And then we go international?
2253
01:58:41,756 --> 01:58:44,726
Yeah, sure, around the world.
Wherever you want.
2254
01:58:44,792 --> 01:58:46,293
But in the meantime,
here in America,
2255
01:58:46,360 --> 01:58:48,997
we put on a great show.
2256
01:58:49,063 --> 01:58:50,330
And what will we do, Charlie?
2257
01:58:50,397 --> 01:58:52,332
And have a lot of fun.
2258
01:58:53,067 --> 01:58:55,637
Taking care of business.
2259
01:58:57,237 --> 01:58:59,641
Taking care of business.
2260
01:58:59,707 --> 01:59:03,544
["Burning Love"
by Presley playing]
2261
01:59:06,080 --> 01:59:09,584
[Parker] I'll get guarantees
from every mayor.
2262
01:59:09,651 --> 01:59:11,753
We'll double
the police presence.
2263
01:59:11,819 --> 01:59:14,789
You'll have more security
than the President.
2264
01:59:15,757 --> 01:59:17,457
[crowd cheering]
2265
01:59:17,525 --> 01:59:21,629
Lord Almighty
I feel my temperature rising
2266
01:59:23,230 --> 01:59:27,568
Higher, higher
It's burning through
to my soul
2267
01:59:29,504 --> 01:59:35,109
Girl, girl, girl
You're gonna set me on fire
2268
01:59:35,175 --> 01:59:38,178
My brain is flaming
I don't know which way to go
2269
01:59:38,245 --> 01:59:39,714
[Parker] And when
the show is done,
2270
01:59:39,781 --> 01:59:42,917
the boys will hustle you
to the motorcade.
2271
01:59:42,984 --> 01:59:45,019
Elvis has left the building.
2272
01:59:45,086 --> 01:59:49,256
Once you're in the air,
Dr. Nick will ensure your rest.
2273
01:59:50,058 --> 01:59:51,726
Burnin' love
2274
01:59:51,793 --> 01:59:54,327
[Parker] Land in the next city,
then we do it all again.
2275
01:59:54,394 --> 01:59:55,730
Fifteen times!
2276
01:59:55,797 --> 01:59:58,700
I'm just a hunk
A hunk of burning love
2277
01:59:58,766 --> 02:00:00,768
I'm just a hunk
A hunk of burning love
2278
02:00:00,835 --> 02:00:03,538
[Parker] It was life
on the road,
just like the old days.
2279
02:00:03,604 --> 02:00:07,842
We were making so much snow,
we did it again.
2280
02:00:10,011 --> 02:00:11,546
And again.
2281
02:00:12,245 --> 02:00:14,247
And again.
2282
02:00:14,314 --> 02:00:17,685
All in the safety
of the US of A.
2283
02:00:21,089 --> 02:00:24,759
Eventually, he lost interest
in going overseas.
2284
02:00:24,826 --> 02:00:26,326
Why would you?
2285
02:00:26,393 --> 02:00:30,932
But I still kept my promise.
I brought the world to him.
2286
02:00:30,998 --> 02:00:35,203
I invented the world's
first ever satellite concert.
2287

["It's Only Love"
by Presley playing]
2288
02:00:38,039 --> 02:00:43,443
[Parker] 1.5 billion people in
one night, for a single artist.
2289
02:00:43,511 --> 02:00:46,881
Nothing like it before,
nothing like it since.

[band playing final fanfare]
2291
02:00:56,456 --> 02:00:58,960
[Parker] But it wasn't enough.
2292
02:00:59,026 --> 02:01:04,966
He was addicted to the love
he felt from you onstage.
2293
02:01:05,032 --> 02:01:08,669
Ordinary love
just didn't compare.
2294
02:01:09,871 --> 02:01:14,642
So, in the lonely moments
between shows,
2295
02:01:14,709 --> 02:01:18,012
he turned to them pills.
2296
02:01:18,079 --> 02:01:20,515
Priscilla, I want you to
do something for me, will you?
2297
02:01:20,581 --> 02:01:24,317
You give my baby girl
a big hug for me, okay?

No. I couldn't care less

-And this.
-Hey. Whoa.

The only time you're happy

in New Orleans earlier today
to mourn the passing

of gospel legend,
Mahalia Jackson.

02:04:50,658 --> 02:04:51,826
[Jackson] Will you
come to Mississippi
2363
02:04:51,892 --> 02:04:53,694
and sing with us, Mr. Presley?
2364
02:04:53,761 --> 02:04:58,065
Why, B.B. King will be there.
Perhaps even
the Rolling Stones.

[Elvis] I'm sorry, Ms. Jackson.

The Colonel, he...
he won't allow it.

[Jackson] You are a man,
Mr. Presley.
2368
02:05:06,073 --> 02:05:07,608
And a man don't
make up his own mind

Why won't the Colonel
let him go overseas?

02:05:16,317 --> 02:05:18,185
-Security, Jerry.
You know that.
-Bullshit!
2374
02:05:18,252 --> 02:05:20,588
The Colonel's killing
his greatest asset
without a reason.
2375
02:05:20,654 --> 02:05:22,490
So what is the reason?
2376
02:05:22,556 --> 02:05:25,059
Colonel always has his reasons.
2377
02:05:25,126 --> 02:05:27,061
I'm not at liberty to divulge

-[knocking on door]
-[Jerry] He lied.

There wasn't gonna be
an international tour
2381
02:05:32,700 --> 02:05:34,001
'cause he can't leave
the country.
2382
02:05:34,068 --> 02:05:36,404
He's got no citizenship,
no official identity.
2383

He doesn't exist.
2384

There never was
a Colonel Tom Parker.

talking about, Jerry?

[King] Colonel's a smart man.
2390
02:05:52,686 --> 02:05:54,188
There's got to be
another reason.

[Jerry] Come on, man!
2392
02:05:55,524 --> 02:05:56,891
[Parker] I will
stay here at home,
2393
02:05:56,957 --> 02:05:59,060
and I will work
and I will worry.
2394

[Hulett] I mean,
why the Colonel
kept turning them down,
2395

I have no idea, man.
2396
02:06:04,398 --> 02:06:05,933
[Parker] Get out of the way!
2397
02:06:07,568 --> 02:06:11,639
Now, you listen to me.
The only thing that matters...
2398
02:06:11,705 --> 02:06:14,775
is that that man
gets up on that stage tonight.
2399
02:06:14,842 --> 02:06:16,210
[overlapping chatter]
2400
02:06:16,277 --> 02:06:19,613
If he was my son,
I'd put him in a hospital.
2401
02:06:23,617 --> 02:06:27,121
Well, of course, this is
a Presley Enterprises decision.
2402
02:06:28,055 --> 02:06:29,323
Vernon?
2403
02:06:30,658 --> 02:06:33,294
Well... um...
2404
02:06:34,295 --> 02:06:36,565
Well, what can you...
2405
02:06:36,630 --> 02:06:38,999
What can you do for him,
Dr. Nick?
2406
02:06:41,035 --> 02:06:48,075
[Elvis singing]
His truth is marching on
2407
02:06:51,846 --> 02:06:52,980
[applause, cheering]
2408
02:06:53,047 --> 02:06:58,953
His truth is marching on
2409
02:07:07,294 --> 02:07:08,629
[song ends]
2410
02:07:08,696 --> 02:07:10,898
[screaming, applause]
2411
02:07:13,334 --> 02:07:15,269
Thank you. Thank you.
2412
02:07:15,336 --> 02:07:17,572
Now he's gonna ask the house
lights to be brought up,
2413
02:07:17,638 --> 02:07:18,973
'cause we've been
looking at him.
2414
02:07:19,039 --> 02:07:20,941
He wants to look at us now.
He loves this.
2415
02:07:21,008 --> 02:07:22,544
I'd like to turn
the house lights up,
2416
02:07:22,611 --> 02:07:24,311
-ladies and gentlemen.
-Eh?
2417
02:07:24,378 --> 02:07:27,448
'Cause now that you've seen me,
I'd like to take a look at you.
2418
02:07:27,516 --> 02:07:29,950
[cheering, applause]
2419
02:07:30,017 --> 02:07:32,219
Oh, you're beautiful.
Thank you.
2420
02:07:32,286 --> 02:07:34,021
He'll mention the VIPs
that are here.
2421
02:07:34,088 --> 02:07:36,390
We've got some high-rollers
in here tonight.
2422
02:07:36,457 --> 02:07:37,725
Get ready for the spotlight.
2423
02:07:37,791 --> 02:07:41,128
Mr. International Hotel
himself.
2424
02:07:41,195 --> 02:07:43,632
-Thank you.
-Ah, there you go.
2425
02:07:43,697 --> 02:07:46,133
And right next to him,
2426
02:07:46,200 --> 02:07:51,038
is my so-called manager,
Colonel Tom Parker.
2427
02:07:51,105 --> 02:07:54,708
-There he is.
-[chuckling] Come on.
2428
02:07:54,775 --> 02:08:00,181
But I hear rumors
that Colonel is an alien.
2429
02:08:00,247 --> 02:08:02,783
[laughter]
2430
02:08:02,850 --> 02:08:04,586
Got here on my rocket ship.
2431
02:08:04,653 --> 02:08:07,154
[cheering, applause]
2432
02:08:07,221 --> 02:08:08,255
Oh.
2433
02:08:11,959 --> 02:08:14,061
Somebody call the FBI
2434
02:08:14,128 --> 02:08:16,730
and tell 'em that
he has abducted me,
2435
02:08:16,797 --> 02:08:21,101
that he has locked me
in this golden cage,
2436
02:08:21,168 --> 02:08:25,406
to keep me here forever
with you, ladies and gentlemen.
2437
02:08:25,472 --> 02:08:28,275
[light applause]
2438
02:08:28,342 --> 02:08:31,278
[singing, slurred]
So I'm caught in a trap
2439
02:08:31,345 --> 02:08:33,981
I can't get out
2440
02:08:35,182 --> 02:08:39,019
'Cause Colonel's got some
big debts, baby.
2441
02:08:42,856 --> 02:08:44,992
Excuse me.
2442
02:08:45,059 --> 02:08:48,597
Well, this is the last show
I'm ever playing here.
2443
02:08:48,663 --> 02:08:50,030
[scattered groans]
2444
02:08:50,097 --> 02:08:55,236
I'm gonna get on my jet plane,
the Lisa Marie...
2445
02:08:55,302 --> 02:08:59,907
It's named after my, uh...
my beautiful daughter.
2446
02:08:59,974 --> 02:09:02,176
And I'm gonna fly away.
2447
02:09:03,811 --> 02:09:05,913
No, no, no...
2448
02:09:05,980 --> 02:09:08,949
You know, I'm gonna fly away.
2449
02:09:09,016 --> 02:09:10,985
[whispers] Stop the show.
Stop this show!
2450
02:09:11,051 --> 02:09:12,386
Come on,
get this curtain down.
2451
02:09:12,453 --> 02:09:14,221
Fuck the International.
2452
02:09:14,288 --> 02:09:17,726
Mr. Schilling, what the devil
is happening here?
2453
02:09:17,791 --> 02:09:19,159
And Las Vegas.
2454
02:09:19,226 --> 02:09:20,394
[Jerry] That's what
he wants to know.
2455
02:09:20,461 --> 02:09:23,163
Ain't no one
gonna stop me, man.
2456
02:09:24,699 --> 02:09:27,535
Oh! Security.
2457
02:09:27,602 --> 02:09:29,169
Security!
2458
02:09:29,236 --> 02:09:30,538
[babbling]
2459
02:09:30,605 --> 02:09:34,341
Security, security! Security!
2460
02:09:34,408 --> 02:09:36,377
800 shows!
2461
02:09:36,443 --> 02:09:39,547
You don't have
a goddamn passport,
you son of a bitch!
2462
02:09:40,347 --> 02:09:42,049
You are fired!
2463
02:09:42,684 --> 02:09:44,885
You are fired!
2464
02:09:45,587 --> 02:09:48,088
You're fired!
2465
02:09:54,629 --> 02:09:56,564
[all murmuring]
2466
02:09:57,766 --> 02:09:59,400
You're fired.
2467
02:10:02,102 --> 02:10:05,306
-[microphone thumps]
-[feedback squeals]
2468
02:10:05,372 --> 02:10:06,940
[Charlie] E., I--
2469
02:10:08,909 --> 02:10:11,445
Colonel, I gotta--
I'll talk him down.
2470
02:10:19,654 --> 02:10:21,989
This is Colonel Tom Parker.
I wish it to be known
2471
02:10:22,056 --> 02:10:25,426
that Dr. Nick's services
are no longer required.
2472
02:10:25,492 --> 02:10:26,960
Thank you.
2473
02:10:28,295 --> 02:10:29,798
Hmm.
2474
02:10:29,863 --> 02:10:31,533
Well, Diskin...
2475
02:10:31,599 --> 02:10:34,168
if the boy wants to set out
on his own,
2476
02:10:34,234 --> 02:10:37,237
it's all right by me,
but Presley Enterprises
2477
02:10:37,304 --> 02:10:39,808
is going to cough up
what it owes.
2478
02:10:39,873 --> 02:10:41,875
-Are you ready?
-Ready.
2479
02:10:41,942 --> 02:10:44,512
Gasoline for the first trip
to the Hayride...
2480
02:10:44,579 --> 02:10:46,213
one dollar and 25 cents.
2481
02:10:46,280 --> 02:10:48,215
Un-recouped promotional costs
2482
02:10:48,282 --> 02:10:51,118
pertaining to souvenir
calendars, $100.
2483
02:10:51,185 --> 02:10:53,521
Collectible trading cards,
$100.
2484
02:10:53,588 --> 02:10:56,924
Posters, flyers and programs,
$100.

02:10:56,990 --> 02:10:59,059
Balloons, $50...
2486
02:10:59,126 --> 02:11:01,596
[jet engines thrumming]
2487
02:11:12,807 --> 02:11:14,007
[Elvis] What's the hold-up?
2488
02:11:14,074 --> 02:11:17,111
Sorry, E.P. Your daddy
won't come down.
2489
02:11:19,781 --> 02:11:21,248
[door opens]
2490
02:11:21,816 --> 02:11:23,016
Daddy.
2491
02:11:41,001 --> 02:11:43,003
[Elvis] What is this?
2492
02:11:43,070 --> 02:11:47,007
Well, that is what we owe
the Colonel.
2493
02:11:49,711 --> 02:11:51,412
We're broke.
2494
02:11:53,947 --> 02:11:56,984
Daddy, I've been playing this
mausoleum for a hundred years.
2495
02:11:57,050 --> 02:11:58,485
How could we be broke?
2496
02:11:58,553 --> 02:12:00,320
[Vernon] You spend
so much money.
2497
02:12:00,387 --> 02:12:04,057
You know, you got the cars
and the girls and the clothes,
2498
02:12:04,124 --> 02:12:06,193
and all the...
you know, new airplane.
2499
02:12:06,260 --> 02:12:07,662
Daddy, you are
my business manager.
2500
02:12:07,729 --> 02:12:09,296
You're supposed
to be taking care of business.
2501
02:12:09,363 --> 02:12:12,132
I don't know what to tell you,
son, we're broke!
2502
02:12:12,199 --> 02:12:13,934
We're plain broke.
2503
02:12:14,001 --> 02:12:15,936
Gotta take the Colonel back.
2504
02:12:16,003 --> 02:12:18,172
I am not taking him back.
2505
02:12:18,238 --> 02:12:20,140
We're gonna lose Graceland.
2506
02:12:32,587 --> 02:12:34,522
I am not taking him back!
2507
02:12:35,022 --> 02:12:37,357
[yelling]
2508
02:12:37,424 --> 02:12:38,693
He takes everything from me.
2509
02:12:38,760 --> 02:12:41,228
He takes 50%
of everything that I make!
2510
02:12:41,295 --> 02:12:42,730
And now he wants
to take the home
2511
02:12:42,797 --> 02:12:44,398
that we bought for Mama!
2512
02:12:45,567 --> 02:12:46,568
Listen to me, Daddy.
2513
02:12:46,634 --> 02:12:49,737
That old bastard
can sue if he wants,
2514
02:12:49,804 --> 02:12:51,673
but I am flying away.
2515
02:12:52,740 --> 02:12:54,374
With or without you.
2516
02:12:58,580 --> 02:13:00,347
[elevator dings]
2517
02:13:04,184 --> 02:13:07,522
Oh, you bloodsucking,
old vampire.
2518
02:13:07,589 --> 02:13:11,024
You bled me dry
and you still want more?
2519
02:13:11,091 --> 02:13:13,327
I'm not an uncaring man,
Mr. Presley.
2520
02:13:13,393 --> 02:13:16,430
Don't you "Mr. Presley" me,
you toad.
2521
02:13:16,497 --> 02:13:19,567
If you are so determined
to get out of our contract--
2522
02:13:19,634 --> 02:13:21,168
You're goddamn right
I want out.
2523
02:13:21,235 --> 02:13:23,136
Well, I will personally
loan you the money
2524
02:13:23,203 --> 02:13:25,172
that you owe
to Jamboree Attractions.
2525
02:13:25,239 --> 02:13:27,007
Yeah, you'll still have
your claws in me.
2526
02:13:27,074 --> 02:13:28,308
You'll still have me
working here
2527
02:13:28,375 --> 02:13:30,277
like a goddamn slave
in a salt mine,
2528
02:13:30,344 --> 02:13:32,647
you phony, no-good
piece of trash!
2529
02:13:32,714 --> 02:13:36,584
I oughta shoot you in your fat,
goddamn face!
2530
02:13:37,685 --> 02:13:38,920
Who are you?
2531
02:13:38,987 --> 02:13:41,088
I am you. And you are me.
2532
02:13:41,154 --> 02:13:42,590
Cut the horseshit!
2533
02:13:42,657 --> 02:13:44,926
Everything I've ever known
about you has been a lie.
2534
02:13:44,993 --> 02:13:46,528
[Jerry] E.P., you all good?
2535
02:13:46,594 --> 02:13:50,999
[chuckles] My past is the least
of your problems, my boy.
2536
02:13:51,064 --> 02:13:56,838
Everyone else
you associate with
lives from you, Mr. Presley.
2537
02:13:56,905 --> 02:13:58,673
Even Vernon.
2538
02:13:58,740 --> 02:14:01,776
That's right,
even your own daddy
2539
02:14:01,843 --> 02:14:05,479
has looked after himself
before he's looked after you.
2540
02:14:05,547 --> 02:14:08,716
Yes, I have lived
from you, too,
but the difference is
2541
02:14:08,783 --> 02:14:10,450
you have also lived from me.
2542
02:14:10,518 --> 02:14:15,322
We have supported each other.
Because we shared a dream.
2543
02:14:15,389 --> 02:14:18,660
We are the same, you and I.
2544
02:14:18,726 --> 02:14:24,498
We are two odd,
lonely children,
reaching for eternity.
2545
02:14:27,035 --> 02:14:29,871
Maybe you should fly away,
my boy.
2546
02:14:29,938 --> 02:14:33,641
Away from all of this.
2547
02:14:33,708 --> 02:14:37,812
But if you do choose
to leave...
2548
02:14:39,379 --> 02:14:42,917
then I, for one,
will be very lonely.
2549
02:14:42,984 --> 02:14:45,485
So would your father.
2550
02:14:45,553 --> 02:14:49,323
But I think you may
be lonely, too.
2551
02:14:49,389 --> 02:14:51,358
[taps elevator button]
2552
02:14:52,192 --> 02:14:55,262
Oh, you see, my boy, the...
2553
02:14:55,329 --> 02:14:58,833
truth about
the Rock of Eternity...
2554
02:15:01,869 --> 02:15:07,240
It is forever
just beyond our reach.
2555
02:15:35,103 --> 02:15:40,273
[Elvis singing]
Do the chairs
in your parlor
2556
02:15:41,843 --> 02:15:45,613
Seem empty and bare?
2557
02:15:47,649 --> 02:15:52,319
Do you gaze
at your doorstep
2558
02:15:53,955 --> 02:15:57,525
Picture me there?
2559
02:15:59,594 --> 02:16:04,331
Is your heart
filled with pain?
2560
02:16:05,399 --> 02:16:09,804
Shall I come back again?
2561
02:16:11,471 --> 02:16:14,307
Tell me, dear
2562
02:16:14,374 --> 02:16:19,714
Are you lonesome tonight?
2563
02:16:21,516 --> 02:16:26,253
Is your heart
filled with pain?
2564
02:16:27,287 --> 02:16:31,726
Shall I come back again?
2565
02:16:33,493 --> 02:16:36,130
Tell me, dear
2566
02:16:36,196 --> 02:16:42,369
Are you lonesome tonight?
2567
02:16:50,144 --> 02:16:53,413
Son, I know...
I know, I...
2568
02:16:55,983 --> 02:16:57,985
I wanna try and...
2569
02:16:59,520 --> 02:17:02,990
I wanna try and fix this.
You know...
2570
02:17:07,028 --> 02:17:08,395
Daddy...
2571
02:17:13,668 --> 02:17:15,870
Tell that son of a bitch...
2572
02:17:15,937 --> 02:17:18,639
I want things to go back
to the way they were.
2573
02:17:27,048 --> 02:17:28,248
And, Daddy...
2574
02:17:30,618 --> 02:17:35,022
Tell the Colonel
to send up Dr. Nick.

["Suspicious Minds"

2576
02:17:53,007 --> 02:17:54,809
[radio DJ] It's a beautiful day
in Las Vegas,
2577
02:17:54,876 --> 02:17:56,443
with lots going on
this weekend.
2578
02:17:56,511 --> 02:17:58,946
Those teen sensations,
The Jacksons,
2579
02:17:59,013 --> 02:18:00,515
are causing a lot of excitement
2580
02:18:00,581 --> 02:18:02,817
with their residency
at the MGM Grand.
2581
02:18:02,884 --> 02:18:06,053
And for the older crowd,
Elvis is back for a fifth year.
2582
02:18:06,120 --> 02:18:07,454
And don't we love him.

In Entertainment News today,
2584
02:18:09,190 --> 02:18:11,626
Elvis Presley is in talks to
play opposite Barbra Streisand
2585
02:18:11,692 --> 02:18:13,561
in a remake
of A Star is Born.
2586
02:18:13,628 --> 02:18:15,196
[commentator] These days,
when he's not slurring
2587
02:18:15,263 --> 02:18:16,798
on stage in Vegas or playing
2588
02:18:16,864 --> 02:18:19,033

domestic concert circuit,
2589
02:18:19,100 --> 02:18:21,468
the singer spends weeks
at a time in his bedroom,
2590
02:18:21,536 --> 02:18:23,303
tormented by his
growing waistline.
2591
02:18:23,370 --> 02:18:25,573
Sounds like it won't be
much of a stretch for him
2592
02:18:25,640 --> 02:18:27,975
to play the role
of a washed-up singer.
2593
02:18:31,478 --> 02:18:33,748
Oh, look, here they come.
2594
02:18:35,883 --> 02:18:37,484
-[Vernon] Are you all right?
-[Elvis] Yep.
2595
02:18:37,552 --> 02:18:39,287
All right, Daddy loves you.
2596
02:18:39,352 --> 02:18:41,689
-Bye, baby.
-[Vernon] Come on, baby.
2597
02:18:41,756 --> 02:18:43,057
-Bye, Papa.
-Good girl.
2598
02:18:43,124 --> 02:18:45,560
-Bye, baby.
-[Vernon] Give me your hand.
2599
02:18:46,694 --> 02:18:47,862
Hi!
2600
02:18:47,929 --> 02:18:50,832
-[Vernon] Here she is.
-Hi, baby. How you doing?
2601
02:18:53,534 --> 02:18:54,969
Want to say goodbye to Daddy?
2602
02:18:55,036 --> 02:18:58,438
-[Lisa Marie] Bye, Daddy.
-[Priscilla] You're so good.
2603

Hi. How are you?
How you doing?
2604
02:19:02,475 --> 02:19:03,978
[Vernon] We're okay.

2606
02:19:23,264 --> 02:19:24,632
Hey.
2607
02:19:25,867 --> 02:19:27,001
Hi.
2608
02:19:29,469 --> 02:19:30,838
[Elvis] Hmm.
2609
02:19:36,277 --> 02:19:37,912
How are you doing?
2610
02:19:41,282 --> 02:19:42,884
[sighs]
2611
02:19:52,860 --> 02:19:56,230
Honey, there's this place
in San Diego
2612
02:19:56,297 --> 02:19:57,999
that you can go to rest.
2613
02:19:59,033 --> 02:20:00,433
To heal.
2614
02:20:00,501 --> 02:20:02,603
After the show, you can fly
directly and be in a clinic
2615
02:20:02,670 --> 02:20:03,738
before anyone knows.
2616
02:20:03,804 --> 02:20:05,172
It's all been arranged.
2617
02:20:07,508 --> 02:20:09,911
I'm gonna be 40 soon, 'Cilla.
2618
02:20:12,580 --> 02:20:14,782
[whispers] Forty.
2619
02:20:14,849 --> 02:20:17,518
And nobody's gonna remember me.
2620
02:20:19,754 --> 02:20:21,956
I never did anything lasting.
2621
02:20:24,158 --> 02:20:27,427
I never made that classic film
that I could be proud of.
2622
02:20:27,494 --> 02:20:29,797
But what about A Star is Born?
2623
02:20:31,599 --> 02:20:34,035
Uh... [chuckles lightly]
2624
02:20:36,070 --> 02:20:39,173
Barbra... the Colonel...
2625
02:20:40,141 --> 02:20:42,143
[both chuckle]
2626
02:20:45,646 --> 02:20:48,883
[crying softly] Please go.
2627
02:20:48,950 --> 02:20:50,918
For Lisa?
2628
02:20:50,985 --> 02:20:53,721
If you dream it,
you can do it, baby.
2629
02:20:55,690 --> 02:20:57,658
I'm all out of dreams.
2630
02:21:00,127 --> 02:21:01,862
Promise me.

[imperceptible]
2638
02:22:45,800 --> 02:22:48,335
[Elvis] Did you know
there's a kind of bird
2639
02:22:48,402 --> 02:22:50,604
that doesn't have any legs?
2640
02:22:50,671 --> 02:22:52,807
So it can't land on nothing.
2641
02:22:54,842 --> 02:22:57,144
It lives its whole life
on the wing.
2642
02:22:59,380 --> 02:23:03,451
When it gets tired,
it just spreads its wings
2643
02:23:03,518 --> 02:23:06,020
and sleeps on the wind.
2644
02:23:08,557 --> 02:23:12,259
If it ever does land,
even but one time...
2645
02:23:14,829 --> 02:23:16,730
so it dies.
2646
02:23:19,900 --> 02:23:21,302
[reporter 1] Good evening.
2647
02:23:21,368 --> 02:23:24,672
Elvis Presley died today.
He was 42.
2648
02:23:24,738 --> 02:23:26,407
Apparently,
it was a heart attack.
2649
02:23:26,474 --> 02:23:28,409
He was found in his home
in Memphis...
2650

[reporter 2] President Carter
has just made a statement...
2651
02:23:30,845 --> 02:23:32,279
[President Carter]
Elvis Presley's death
2652
02:23:32,346 --> 02:23:34,815
deprives our country
of a part of itself.
2653
02:23:34,882 --> 02:23:36,450
He was unique
and irreplaceable.
2654
02:23:36,518 --> 02:23:38,119
[reporter 3] Thousands
of mourners have gathered
2655
02:23:38,185 --> 02:23:39,753
outside the gates
of Graceland...
2656
02:23:39,820 --> 02:23:41,489
[Carter] Using the styles
of white country
2657
02:23:41,556 --> 02:23:43,257
and Black rhythm and blues,
2658
02:23:43,324 --> 02:23:45,860
permanently changed the face
of American popular culture.
2659
02:23:45,926 --> 02:23:48,362
[reporter 4] The outpouring
of grief can be seen
everywhere.
2660
02:23:48,429 --> 02:23:51,232
[Carter] He was a symbol
to people the world over,
2661
02:23:51,298 --> 02:23:54,468
of the vitality,
rebelliousness...
2662
02:23:54,536 --> 02:23:57,404
[Parker] What killed my boy?
2663
02:23:57,471 --> 02:24:00,808
Them doctors say
it was his heart.
2664
02:24:00,875 --> 02:24:03,377
Others, the pills.
2665
02:24:03,444 --> 02:24:06,814
Some say it was me.
2666
02:24:06,881 --> 02:24:10,784
No. I'll tell you
what killed him.
2667
02:24:11,819 --> 02:24:14,889
It was love.
2668
02:24:14,955 --> 02:24:17,424
His love for you.
2669
02:24:17,491 --> 02:24:19,727
[faint applause, cheering]
2670
02:24:19,793 --> 02:24:22,263
You know, a few weeks
before he died,
2671
02:24:22,329 --> 02:24:26,501
I saw him sing
for the very last time.
2672
02:24:26,568 --> 02:24:28,903
He could barely stand up.
2673
02:24:29,937 --> 02:24:32,706
"Unchained Melody."
2674
02:24:32,773 --> 02:24:36,043
From an album called
Unchained Melody.
2675
02:24:36,110 --> 02:24:40,047
Makes a lot of sense. Okay.
[light chuckle]
2676
02:24:40,114 --> 02:24:44,718
[Parker] But that night,
he sang as he always did.
2677
02:24:44,785 --> 02:24:46,987
With all his heart and soul.
2678
02:24:47,054 --> 02:24:48,689
How you like it so far?
2679
02:24:48,756 --> 02:24:51,458
[crowd cheering]
2680
02:24:51,526 --> 02:24:55,062
[Parker] That old voice
rang out,
2681
02:24:55,129 --> 02:24:59,800
-and he sang with all his life.
-[piano piano]
2682

I've hungered
for your touch

So slowly
2688
02:25:28,862 --> 02:25:33,234
And time can do so much
2689
02:25:33,300 --> 02:25:35,537
Are you
2690
02:25:35,604 --> 02:25:39,940
Still mine?
2691
02:25:40,007 --> 02:25:47,147
I need your love, ooh

I need your love
2693
02:25:53,187 --> 02:25:58,792
God speed your love
2694
02:25:58,859 --> 02:26:03,397

2695
02:26:04,965 --> 02:26:12,072
Lonely rivers flow to the sea
To the sea
2696
02:26:12,139 --> 02:26:18,445

02:26:20,582 --> 02:26:27,921
Lonely rivers cry
Wait for me
Wait for me
2699
02:26:28,723 --> 02:26:31,992
I'll be coming home
2700
02:26:32,059 --> 02:26:37,164
Wait for me
2701
02:26:37,231 --> 02:26:42,737
My love, my darling
2702
02:26:42,803 --> 02:26:47,441
I've hungered for your kiss

A long, lonely time
2704
02:26:54,549 --> 02:26:56,116
[Presley]
When I was a child,
ladies and gentlemen,
2705
02:26:56,183 --> 02:26:58,385
I was a dreamer.
I read comic books
2706
02:26:58,452 --> 02:27:01,188
and I was the hero
of the comic book.
2707
02:27:01,255 --> 02:27:04,526
I saw movies and I was
the hero in the movie.
2708
02:27:04,592 --> 02:27:06,827
So every dream
that I ever dreamed
2709
02:27:06,894 --> 02:27:09,296
has come true
a hundred times.
2710
02:27:10,831 --> 02:27:17,572
Are you still mine?
2711
02:27:19,039 --> 02:27:26,180
I need your love, ooh
2712
02:27:29,183 --> 02:27:31,720
I learned very early
in life that...
2713
02:27:31,786 --> 02:27:34,589
"Without a song,
the day would never end,
2714
02:27:34,656 --> 02:27:37,424
without a song,
a man ain't got a friend,
2715
02:27:37,491 --> 02:27:40,795
without a song,
the road would never bend,
2716
02:27:40,861 --> 02:27:41,929
without a song."
2717
02:27:41,995 --> 02:27:43,864
So I keep singing a song.
2718
02:27:43,931 --> 02:27:46,701
To...
2719
02:27:46,768 --> 02:27:49,870

'Cause if there's one thing
that she don't need

People, don't you understand

The child needs a helping hand

Or he'll grow to be
an angry young man some day

Are we too blind to see?

02:30:05,205 --> 02:30:08,208
[Presley reciting] "You never
stood in that man's shoes
2746
02:30:08,275 --> 02:30:10,645
Or saw things through his eyes
2747
02:30:10,712 --> 02:30:13,313
Or stood and watched
with helpless hands
2748
02:30:13,380 --> 02:30:16,250
While the heart inside you dies
2749
02:30:16,316 --> 02:30:19,086
So help your brother
along the way
2750
02:30:19,152 --> 02:30:21,789
No matter where he starts
2751
02:30:21,856 --> 02:30:27,394
For the same God that made you
Made him, too
2752
02:30:27,461 --> 02:30:30,197
These men with broken hearts"
2753
02:30:31,666 --> 02:30:35,102
And his mama cries
2754
02:30:36,971 --> 02:30:39,841
And a hungry, little boy
with a runny nose
2755
02:30:39,908 --> 02:30:42,644
Plays in the street
as the cold wind blows
2756
02:30:42,710 --> 02:30:44,411
In the ghetto
2757
02:30:47,782 --> 02:30:51,553
And his hunger burns
2758
02:30:52,854 --> 02:30:55,924
So he starts to roam
the streets at night
2759
02:30:55,990 --> 02:30:58,693
And he learns how to steal
And he learns how to fight
2760
02:30:58,760 --> 02:31:00,728
In the ghetto
2761
02:31:04,164 --> 02:31:09,604
Then one night in desperation
The young man breaks away
2762
02:31:09,671 --> 02:31:12,339
He buys a gun, steals a car
2763
02:31:12,406 --> 02:31:15,743
Tries to run,
but he don't get far
2764
02:31:15,810 --> 02:31:19,614
And his mama cries
2765
02:31:21,950 --> 02:31:25,152
["Product Of The Ghetto"
by Nardo Wick playing]
2766
02:31:43,738 --> 02:31:46,674
On a cold and gray
Chicago mornin'
2767
02:31:46,741 --> 02:31:50,377
Another little baby child
is born
2768
02:31:50,444 --> 02:31:52,513
In the ghetto
2769
02:32:02,857 --> 02:32:06,159
And his mama cries
2770
02:32:15,937 --> 02:32:18,405
["Summer Kisses, Winter Tears"
by Presley playing]
2771
02:32:20,541 --> 02:32:24,712
Summer kisses, winter tears
2772
02:32:29,449 --> 02:32:33,988
Summer kisses, winter tears
2773
02:32:34,055 --> 02:32:38,392
That was what she gave to me
2774
02:32:38,458 --> 02:32:42,396
Never thought
I'd travel all alone
2775
02:32:42,462 --> 02:32:48,803
The trail of memories
2776
02:32:53,440 --> 02:32:56,309
["The King And I" by Eminem
and CeeLo Green playing]
2777
02:35:22,489 --> 02:35:24,692
Don't tiptoe, stomp my ground
2778
02:35:24,759 --> 02:35:27,327
Gotta let 'em know
we're comin'
2779
02:35:27,394 --> 02:35:29,230
Just stay there, woman
2780
02:35:29,297 --> 02:35:30,998
Engine still runnin'
2781
02:35:31,065 --> 02:35:35,036
Get dressed
Like the whole world watchin'
2782
02:35:35,102 --> 02:35:38,539
God bless
Gotta leave 'em shooken
2783
02:35:38,606 --> 02:35:40,708
Girls goin' wild, too cray
2784
02:35:40,775 --> 02:35:42,844
Look at what you made
2785
02:35:42,910 --> 02:35:46,647
Always come correct
There's no turnin' back
2786
02:35:46,714 --> 02:35:48,950
Takin' bigger steps
2787
02:35:49,016 --> 02:35:50,718
That's all I can do
2788
02:35:50,785 --> 02:35:54,421
That's all for the moment
If that's all right with you
2789
02:35:54,487 --> 02:35:56,591
That's all right, Mama
2790
02:35:56,657 --> 02:35:58,926
That's all right with you
2791
02:35:58,993 --> 02:36:00,595
That's all right, Mama
2792
02:36:00,661 --> 02:36:03,598
Anyway you do, that's all right
2793
02:36:04,265 --> 02:36:06,033
That's all right
2794
02:36:06,100 --> 02:36:11,505
That's all right now, Mama
Anyway you do
2795
02:36:11,572 --> 02:36:15,309
We can't go on together
2796
02:36:15,375 --> 02:36:17,945
With suspicious minds
2797
02:36:19,747 --> 02:36:23,718
And we can't build our dreams
2798
02:36:23,784 --> 02:36:26,988
On suspicious minds
2799
02:36:44,972 --> 02:36:46,741
["If I can Dream"
by Maneskin playing]
2800
02:36:46,807 --> 02:36:53,180
There must be peace
and understanding sometime
2801
02:36:54,548 --> 02:36:56,617
Strong winds of promise
2802
02:36:56,684 --> 02:37:02,290
That will blow away
the doubt and fear
2803
02:37:02,356 --> 02:37:06,594
If I can dream of a warmer sun
2804
02:37:06,661 --> 02:37:10,264
Where hope keeps shining
on everyone
2805
02:37:10,331 --> 02:37:13,768
Tell me why, oh, why,
2806
02:37:13,834 --> 02:37:20,908
Oh, why won't that sun appear
2807
02:37:26,747 --> 02:37:29,717
We're lost in a cloud
2808
02:37:30,584 --> 02:37:34,487
With too much rain
2809
02:37:34,555 --> 02:37:38,225
We're trapped in a world
2810
02:37:38,292 --> 02:37:41,929
That's troubled with pain
2811
02:37:41,996 --> 02:37:48,169
But as long as a man
Has the strength to dream
2812
02:37:48,235 --> 02:37:55,176
He can redeem his soul and fly
2813
02:37:57,078 --> 02:37:59,814
Oh...
2814
02:37:59,880 --> 02:38:05,920
Deep in my heart,
there's a trembling question
2815
02:38:07,254 --> 02:38:11,158
Still I am sure
that the answers
2816
02:38:11,225 --> 02:38:14,362
The answers gonna come somehow
2817
02:38:14,428 --> 02:38:22,169
Out there in the dark,
there's a beckoning candle
2818
02:38:22,236 --> 02:38:26,140
And while I can think,
while I can talk
2819
02:38:26,207 --> 02:38:30,511
While I can stand,
while I can walk
2820
02:38:30,578 --> 02:38:33,214
While I can dream
2821
02:38:34,215 --> 02:38:36,984
Please let my dream
2822
02:38:38,119 --> 02:38:42,623
Come true
2823
02:38:45,593 --> 02:38:49,497
Right now
2824
02:38:49,563 --> 02:38:52,033
Let it come true right now
2825
02:38:53,067 --> 02:38:57,038
Oh, yeah
2826
02:39:01,976 --> 02:39:03,377
-[audience applauding]
-[Presley] Thank you.
2827
02:39:03,444 --> 02:39:05,246
You're fantastic.
Thank you very much.
