Oh, let our love survive

00:00:10,652 --> 00:00:14,258
I'll dry the tears
from your eyes
4
00:00:16,020 --> 00:00:20,297
Let's don't let
a good thing die
5

[woman singing]
Snowman's coming
6
00:00:39,820 --> 00:00:42,711
Yes, he's coming
7
00:00:42,847 --> 00:00:47,518
He'll take you by the hand
8
00:00:47,654 --> 00:00:50,255
He'll say one, two, three

[panting rapidly]
10
00:00:51,755 --> 00:00:53,825
And you will be...
11
00:00:54,869 --> 00:00:59,931
In cotton candy land
12
00:01:00,066 --> 00:01:02,037
[man] For those of you
who are wondering,
13
00:01:02,173 --> 00:01:05,277
who this fella here is,
14
00:01:05,412 --> 00:01:10,908
I am the legendary
Colonel Tom Parker.
15
00:01:23,555 --> 00:01:25,629
[newscaster]
Colonel Tom Parker,
legendary manager
16
00:01:25,765 --> 00:01:29,634
of Elvis Presley, has been
rushed to Valley Hospital.
17
00:01:29,769 --> 00:01:34,232
[Parker] I am the man who
gave the world Elvis Presley.
18
00:01:34,367 --> 00:01:36,474
[siren wailing]
19
00:01:36,609 --> 00:01:42,176
Without me, there would be
no Elvis Presley.
20
00:01:42,312 --> 00:01:44,106
And yet, there are some
21
00:01:44,242 --> 00:01:47,577
who'd make me out
to be the villain
22
00:01:47,713 --> 00:01:49,353
of this here story.
23
00:01:57,254 --> 00:02:00,463
["Suspicious Minds" by

24
00:02:04,466 --> 00:02:09,034
[newscaster 1]
Colonel Tom Parker
was a liar, a cheat, a con man.
25
00:02:09,170 --> 00:02:12,508
A shocking new book
accuses Colonel Tom Parker
26
00:02:12,644 --> 00:02:15,137
of massive fraud
and mis-management.
27
00:02:17,847 --> 00:02:21,679
Parker received as much
as 50% of Elvis' income.
28
00:02:21,814 --> 00:02:23,553
He worked Elvis like a mule,
29
00:02:23,688 --> 00:02:25,447
to support his own
gambling addiction.
30
00:02:25,583 --> 00:02:27,225
[newscaster 2] The court finds
that the compensation received
31
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,294
by Colonel Parker
was excessive,
32
00:02:29,430 --> 00:02:31,123
and shocked the conscience
of the court.
33
00:02:31,258 --> 00:02:32,893
[newscaster 1] Many believe
that Colonel Tom Parker
34
00:02:33,029 --> 00:02:35,861
was responsible for the death
of Elvis Presley.
35
00:02:37,632 --> 00:02:39,161
[Parker] Now, you listen to me.
36
00:02:39,297 --> 00:02:42,336
The only thing that matters
is that that man
37
00:02:42,472 --> 00:02:44,837
gets up on that stage tonight.

His truth is marching on
46
00:04:07,353 --> 00:04:10,257
[newscaster, voice echoing]
Tom Parker killed him!
47
00:04:10,393 --> 00:04:13,457
No! That's not true.
48
00:04:13,592 --> 00:04:15,598
[breath shaking]
49
00:04:20,302 --> 00:04:21,769
[grunting]
50
00:04:26,278 --> 00:04:30,613
No, no, I didn't kill him.
51
00:04:33,284 --> 00:04:35,519
I made Elvis Presley.
52
00:04:38,156 --> 00:04:41,653
Nothing all those muckrakers
said in their books was true.
53
00:04:41,789 --> 00:04:44,254
Me and Elvis, we was partners.
54
00:04:44,389 --> 00:04:50,293
It was Elvis the Showman
and the Colonel the Snowman.
55
00:04:50,429 --> 00:04:52,197
[female reporter]
This is the lying Dutchman.
56
00:04:52,333 --> 00:04:55,463
[Parker] I always knew I was
destined for greatness.
57
00:04:55,599 --> 00:04:58,334
As an orphan,
I ran away to the carnival,
58
00:04:58,469 --> 00:05:01,373
where I learned the art
of the "snow job,"
59
00:05:01,508 --> 00:05:04,581
of emptying a rube's wallet
while leaving them with nothing
60
00:05:04,717 --> 00:05:07,210
-but a smile on their face.
-[applause]
61
00:05:07,346 --> 00:05:09,053
But a carnival act
that would get you
62
00:05:09,189 --> 00:05:11,754
the most money, the most snow,
63
00:05:11,889 --> 00:05:15,324
had great costumes
and a unique trick,
64
00:05:15,459 --> 00:05:17,253
that gave the audience feelings
65
00:05:17,389 --> 00:05:20,657
they weren't sure
they should enjoy.
66
00:05:20,792 --> 00:05:22,732
But they do.
67
00:05:22,867 --> 00:05:27,929
And I knew if I could
find such an act,
68
00:05:28,065 --> 00:05:31,908
I could create the greatest...
69
00:05:32,044 --> 00:05:33,372
show...
70
00:05:33,507 --> 00:05:34,512
on...
71
00:05:35,409 --> 00:05:38,047
earth.
72
00:05:38,182 --> 00:05:41,516
After the carnival, I moved
into the music business...
73
00:05:41,651 --> 00:05:44,251
the country music business.
74
00:05:44,386 --> 00:05:48,723
I partnered with one of its
biggest stars, Hank Snow.
75
00:05:48,858 --> 00:05:54,395
Pardon me
if I'm sentimental
76
00:05:54,531 --> 00:05:56,833
When we say goodbye
77
00:05:56,969 --> 00:06:01,203
[Parker] And his hapless son,
Jimmie Rodgers Snow.
78
00:06:01,339 --> 00:06:02,272
Hot-diggity-dog, Billy.
79
00:06:02,408 --> 00:06:04,509
-I got one.
-Oh, yeah.
80
00:06:04,644 --> 00:06:07,244
Can't believe it.
Blow their socks off.
81
00:06:07,379 --> 00:06:09,605
Security. Security, Diskin!
82
00:06:09,740 --> 00:06:12,512
Tell the mayors of these towns
that we need a police escort
83
00:06:12,648 --> 00:06:14,212
for Hank when he arrives.
84
00:06:14,347 --> 00:06:17,354
In Baton Rouge, we are going
to have a carny wedding
85
00:06:17,489 --> 00:06:18,951
at the top of the Ferris Wheel,
86
00:06:19,086 --> 00:06:21,219
so, Zina, pick out
your next husband.
87
00:06:21,354 --> 00:06:23,758
In New Orleans, we're gonna
use the loudspeaker
88
00:06:23,894 --> 00:06:25,788
-to announce you, Hank.
-[Hank] Oh, sure.
89
00:06:25,923 --> 00:06:28,293
[speaking Ciazarn]
90
00:06:28,429 --> 00:06:29,627
[in English]
...you are going to march
in the parade.
91
00:06:29,763 --> 00:06:31,096
[both speaking Ciazarn]
92
00:06:31,231 --> 00:06:33,096
Am I gonna be riding
on an elephant, too?
93
00:06:33,232 --> 00:06:35,269
A man on an elephant
looks important.
94
00:06:35,404 --> 00:06:36,605
And taller.
95
00:06:36,741 --> 00:06:38,070
We still need to get
a novelty act
96
00:06:38,205 --> 00:06:40,143
-to bring in the young folk.
-Well, yes, yes,
97
00:06:40,278 --> 00:06:42,944
that's why you have
a meeting with
the Duke of Paducah tonight.
98
00:06:43,079 --> 00:06:45,275
If we can book "the Funniest
Mouth in the South,"
99
00:06:45,410 --> 00:06:46,648
we'll have the greatest show
of the season.
100
00:06:46,784 --> 00:06:47,876
Hey, Jimmie,
turn that record off.
101
00:06:48,012 --> 00:06:49,511
Y'all have to hear this.
102
00:06:49,646 --> 00:06:51,413
Kids all over town
are playing it everywhere I go.

["That's All Right"
by Presley playing]
104
00:06:59,232 --> 00:07:00,659
I hear Negro rhythms.
105
00:07:00,795 --> 00:07:02,468
But with a country flavor.
106
00:07:02,603 --> 00:07:04,928
Sun Records?
That's Sam Phillips' label.
107
00:07:05,063 --> 00:07:06,661
[Parker] Oh, yeah, Phillips.
108
00:07:06,797 --> 00:07:09,540
He makes all those race records
with the colored singers.
109
00:07:09,676 --> 00:07:11,440
Well, this fella's
on the Hayride tonight,
110
00:07:11,576 --> 00:07:13,010
after me in the newcomer spot.
111
00:07:13,146 --> 00:07:14,669
In Shreveport?
112
00:07:14,805 --> 00:07:17,314
No, they are not putting
a colored boy on the Hayride.
113
00:07:17,450 --> 00:07:20,519
That's the thing. He's white.
114
00:07:21,152 --> 00:07:22,587
He's...
115
00:07:24,684 --> 00:07:26,152
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!

00:08:55,139 --> 00:08:57,240
[Bill] I know, I know.
146
00:08:57,376 --> 00:08:58,812
-[girl] Hi!
-How's his stomach?
147
00:08:58,947 --> 00:09:00,311
I thought I'd grab him a Pepsi,
148
00:09:00,446 --> 00:09:02,346
but poor thing's still shaking
like a leaf.
149
00:09:02,482 --> 00:09:05,085
I'll get him on the stage.
Come on. Let's go.

-[Elvis groans]
-Here.
151
00:09:09,022 --> 00:09:10,354
It'll settle your stomach.
152
00:09:10,489 --> 00:09:12,194
[Elvis] What if I forget
the words on live radio?
153
00:09:12,329 --> 00:09:14,591
All we gotta do out there's
just a bit of clownin' around.
154
00:09:14,727 --> 00:09:17,293
That's how we got this thing
started in the first place.
155
00:09:17,429 --> 00:09:19,064
Scotty and Bill are right,
Elvis.
156
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:20,639
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
00:09:25,845 --> 00:09:27,606
and family is the most
important thing of all.
161
00:09:27,742 --> 00:09:29,308
[Vernon] Amen.
162
00:09:29,443 --> 00:09:33,046
Come on now, Booby.
Jesse's shining bright tonight.
163
00:09:33,181 --> 00:09:35,782

upon you.

[Parker] Jesse, Elvis's twin
brother, who died at birth.
167
00:09:51,105 --> 00:09:52,761
Tragic.
168
00:09:52,897 --> 00:09:54,965
[doctor] Vernon, come quick!
It's another child!
169
00:09:55,101 --> 00:09:58,472
[Gladys] My darling,
you'll have
the strength of two men.
170
00:09:58,607 --> 00:10:01,206
[Parker] But when
my boy's daddy
passed a bad check
171
00:10:01,342 --> 00:10:02,544
and got carted off
to prison...
172
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,478
[young Elvis shouting]
173
00:10:04,613 --> 00:10:06,147
...the boy and his mama had
to take one of the houses
174
00:10:06,283 --> 00:10:08,510
for white folks
in a colored neighborhood.
175
00:10:08,646 --> 00:10:10,118
[neighbor kid]
New boy! Come over!
176
00:10:10,253 --> 00:10:12,147
[Parker] But that boy
had a big imagination.
177
00:10:12,282 --> 00:10:13,748
[young Elvis speaking]
178
00:10:13,884 --> 00:10:15,520
[Parker] He really believed
he was the hero
179
00:10:15,655 --> 00:10:17,524
-in one of them comic books.
-[young Elvis speaking]
180
00:10:17,660 --> 00:10:20,259
[Parker] He was going to bust
his daddy out of the hoosegow
181
00:10:20,395 --> 00:10:24,198
and fly him
to the Rock of Eternity!
182
00:10:24,333 --> 00:10:26,861
[young Elvis] Then he buys
his mama a pink Cadillac.
183
00:10:26,997 --> 00:10:29,174
[Tupelo boy] Pink Cadillac?
What are you talking about?
184
00:10:29,309 --> 00:10:31,034
Hey, fools! Whoo!

[Parker] Them comic book heroes
all have them super powers.
189
00:10:44,819 --> 00:10:48,388
His was music.
190
00:10:48,523 --> 00:10:56,668
That's all right, Mama
That's all right with you

00:10:56,803 --> 00:11:03,665

201
00:11:51,254 --> 00:11:55,788
[all] Oh, I'll fly away
Oh, Glory
202
00:11:55,923 --> 00:11:58,559
I'll fly away
203
00:11:58,695 --> 00:11:59,996
When I die
204
00:12:00,131 --> 00:12:04,029
When I die
Hallelujah, by and by

[Tupelo boy 2]

[revival singer]
No more preachin', I'll fly
211
00:12:16,274 --> 00:12:17,407
No more pain, I'll fly

[Elvis singing]
I'll fly away
213
00:12:19,017 --> 00:12:20,610
[Tupelo boy]
Hey, fool, come back.
214
00:12:21,621 --> 00:12:23,921
No. He's with the spirit!
215
00:12:24,852 --> 00:12:25,982
It's all right.
216
00:12:26,117 --> 00:12:28,519
[vocalizing]
217
00:12:30,891 --> 00:12:33,964
Ohh

Black snake
crawlin' in my room
219
00:12:36,931 --> 00:12:38,531
[woman] Whoo!
220
00:12:38,666 --> 00:12:42,574
That's all right, Mama
That's all right with you
221
00:12:42,709 --> 00:12:44,475
[man] That's all right, Mama
222
00:12:44,610 --> 00:12:46,471
Anyway you choose

00:12:46,606 --> 00:12:50,414
[Elvis singing]
I'll fly away, oh, Glory
224
00:12:50,549 --> 00:12:53,548
I'll fly away
225
00:12:53,683 --> 00:12:55,649
Oh, away
226
00:12:55,785 --> 00:12:58,284

-Ohhh
-[Elvis] I'll fly away
228
00:13:01,752 --> 00:13:04,027
Elvis. Come on,
you gotta get on in.
229
00:13:04,163 --> 00:13:05,286
They've already announced you
on the radio.
230
00:13:05,422 --> 00:13:07,957
Folks are real excited.
231
00:13:08,092 --> 00:13:10,662
[Parker] At Sun Records,
Sam Phillips was on a mission
232
00:13:10,797 --> 00:13:13,966
to save the world
by recording Black music.
233
00:13:14,102 --> 00:13:16,166
But it didn't sell.
234
00:13:16,302 --> 00:13:17,834
So to pay his bills,
235
00:13:17,970 --> 00:13:21,506
he needed to find a new singer
for his country act.
236
00:13:21,641 --> 00:13:24,406
I don't know what it is
you see in this boy.
237
00:13:24,541 --> 00:13:26,984
I just think he's different.
238
00:13:27,818 --> 00:13:29,888
[feedback squealing]
239
00:13:31,319 --> 00:13:34,090
How do you know
"Big Boy" Crudup?
240
00:13:36,592 --> 00:13:40,260
That's all right, Mama
That's all right for you
241
00:13:40,395 --> 00:13:43,869
That's all right, Mama
Anyway you do
242
00:13:44,004 --> 00:13:47,730
That's all right
That's all right
243
00:13:47,866 --> 00:13:52,633
That's all right now, Mama
Anyway you do
244
00:13:52,769 --> 00:13:54,770
[congregation continues
singing]
245
00:13:56,676 --> 00:13:58,876
He's a young singer
from Memphis, Tennessee.
246
00:13:59,012 --> 00:14:03,450
Got a song out
on the Sun label.
It's all over the radio.
247
00:14:03,585 --> 00:14:07,992
Give him a warm Hayride welcome
to a Mr. Elvis Presley.
248
00:14:11,157 --> 00:14:13,521
[all singing]
249
00:14:13,656 --> 00:14:15,329
[revival singer vocalizing]
250
00:14:17,067 --> 00:14:18,970
[young Elvis panting rapidly]
251
00:14:24,205 --> 00:14:27,142
[music crescendos, ceases]
252
00:14:27,277 --> 00:14:29,271
[emcee] Elvis,
how are you this evening?
253
00:14:29,407 --> 00:14:30,915
Just fine, how you, sir?
254
00:14:31,051 --> 00:14:35,613
[Parker] Greasy hair,
girly makeup.
255
00:14:35,749 --> 00:14:38,915
I cannot overstate
how strange he looked.
256
00:14:39,051 --> 00:14:41,059
[emcee] Are you all geared up
with your band there to...
257
00:14:41,194 --> 00:14:43,327
-I'm all geared up.
-...let us hear your songs?
258
00:14:43,462 --> 00:14:46,061
Uh... well, I'd like to say how
happy we are to be down here.
259
00:14:46,196 --> 00:14:48,032
It's a real honor
for us to be...
260
00:14:48,168 --> 00:14:50,234
Get a chance to appear
on the Louisiana Hayride.
261
00:14:50,370 --> 00:14:52,798
We're gonna do a song for you
we got out on Sun Records.
262
00:14:52,933 --> 00:14:55,367
Uh...
263
00:14:55,503 --> 00:14:56,737
You got anything else
to say, sir?
264
00:14:56,873 --> 00:14:59,010
No. I'm ready.
265
00:15:00,075 --> 00:15:01,573
[exhales nervously]
266
00:15:02,339 --> 00:15:04,646
[breath shaking]
267
00:15:04,781 --> 00:15:06,651
It goes...
268
00:15:06,786 --> 00:15:08,547
It goes something like this.
269
00:15:11,625 --> 00:15:12,457
[feedback squealing]
270
00:15:12,592 --> 00:15:13,623
Oh, baby, baby,
271
00:15:13,759 --> 00:15:16,054
Baby, baby, baby
272
00:15:16,190 --> 00:15:18,089
Baby, baby, baby
273
00:15:18,225 --> 00:15:19,255
[hesitant strumming]
274
00:15:19,391 --> 00:15:21,494
Baby, baby, baby
275
00:15:22,559 --> 00:15:23,831
Baby, baby, baby
276
00:15:23,967 --> 00:15:25,466
[feedback continues]
277
00:15:25,601 --> 00:15:28,534
Come back, baby
I wanna play house with you
278
00:15:29,434 --> 00:15:31,068
Get a haircut, fairy!
279
00:15:31,203 --> 00:15:33,275
[laughter]
280
00:15:36,613 --> 00:15:39,183
[Parker] In that moment,
in a flash of lightning,
281
00:15:39,319 --> 00:15:41,984
I watched that skinny boy
in the pink suit
282
00:15:42,119 --> 00:15:46,015
transform into a superhero.
283
00:15:46,151 --> 00:15:51,486
Well, you may go to college
You may go to school
284
00:15:51,621 --> 00:15:55,099
You may have a pink Cadillac
But don't you be
nobody's fool
285
00:15:55,234 --> 00:15:57,932
Now, baby
Come back, baby, come
286
00:15:58,068 --> 00:15:59,797
Come back, baby, come
287
00:15:59,932 --> 00:16:03,998
Come back, baby
I wanna play house with you
288
00:16:04,134 --> 00:16:06,039
Well, listen and
I'll tell you, baby
289
00:16:06,174 --> 00:16:07,577
What I'm talking about
290
00:16:07,712 --> 00:16:09,845
[panting]
291
00:16:09,981 --> 00:16:12,307
Come on back to me,
little girl
So we can play some house
292
00:16:12,442 --> 00:16:13,444
[shrieks]
293
00:16:13,579 --> 00:16:15,015
Baby, come back, baby, come
294
00:16:15,151 --> 00:16:16,344
Come back, baby, come

[shrieking]
296
00:16:18,115 --> 00:16:19,624
Come back, baby
I wanna play house with you
297
00:16:19,759 --> 00:16:21,884
Wanna play house!
298
00:16:22,019 --> 00:16:24,319
-What are they hollerin' at?
-The wiggle!
299
00:16:24,454 --> 00:16:25,622
The what?
300
00:16:25,758 --> 00:16:26,827
Them girls
wanna see you wiggle.
301
00:16:26,962 --> 00:16:27,996
Move, man!
302
00:16:28,132 --> 00:16:30,026
-Do more!
-Much more!
303
00:16:30,162 --> 00:16:31,194
Man!
304
00:16:31,329 --> 00:16:32,669
Do it again.
305
00:16:32,804 --> 00:16:34,504
[women screaming]
306
00:16:34,639 --> 00:16:38,869
Well, this is one thing, baby
That I want you to know
307
00:16:39,004 --> 00:16:40,737
Come on back
Let's play a little house
308
00:16:40,872 --> 00:16:42,172
And we can do
what we did before
309
00:16:42,308 --> 00:16:43,173
Now, baby
310
00:16:43,308 --> 00:16:44,176
Sit down!
311
00:16:44,312 --> 00:16:45,677
Come back, baby, come
312
00:16:45,812 --> 00:16:48,183
Come back, baby, come
Come back, baby
313
00:16:48,319 --> 00:16:49,881
What in God's sweet name
am I looking at?
314
00:16:50,017 --> 00:16:51,012
Hit it!
315
00:16:52,221 --> 00:16:54,525
[loud guitar riff playing]
316
00:16:54,660 --> 00:16:56,457
[screaming]
317
00:17:04,637 --> 00:17:05,994
[shrieking]
318
00:17:11,271 --> 00:17:13,870
[loud scream]
319
00:17:21,086 --> 00:17:22,714
What were you thinking,
Jimmie?
320
00:17:25,123 --> 00:17:26,322
I don't know what I'm thinking.
321
00:17:28,426 --> 00:17:31,556
Please, Lord,
don't let 'em hurt my baby.
322
00:17:31,691 --> 00:17:33,758
Hurt him?
Looks like they wanna--
323
00:17:37,064 --> 00:17:41,262
[slow echoing]
Baby, baby, baby, baby,
baby
324
00:17:41,398 --> 00:17:44,907
[Parker] Now, I don't
know nothin' about music...
325
00:17:45,042 --> 00:17:46,673
[faint breathy gasps]
326
00:17:46,808 --> 00:17:50,079
...but I could see
in that girl's eyes,
327
00:17:50,214 --> 00:17:51,940
that she was having feelings
328
00:17:52,076 --> 00:17:54,913
she wasn't sure
she should enjoy.
329
00:17:55,048 --> 00:17:57,985
[Crudup singing faintly]
Black snake crawlin' in my room
330
00:17:58,120 --> 00:17:59,652
[Parker] Yes.
331
00:18:02,724 --> 00:18:06,395
He was a taste
of forbidden fruit.
332
00:18:07,759 --> 00:18:11,301
She could've eaten him alive.
333
00:18:14,938 --> 00:18:16,669
[all shrieking]
334
00:18:25,778 --> 00:18:29,145
Why are you trying
to kill my son?
335
00:18:29,281 --> 00:18:31,215
[Parker] It was the greatest
carnival attraction
336
00:18:31,351 --> 00:18:33,186
I'd ever seen.
337
00:18:33,321 --> 00:18:35,819
He was my destiny.
338
00:18:35,955 --> 00:18:40,627
Right under my nose...
In Memphis.
339
00:18:43,096 --> 00:18:44,699
[Memphis DJ] Top of the morning
to you, friends,
340
00:18:44,834 --> 00:18:46,998
from the home of colorful,
old Beale Street.
341
00:18:47,134 --> 00:18:50,300
The place where the blues began
in Memphis, Tennessee,
342
00:18:50,435 --> 00:18:52,706
Where you see pretty browns
dressed in beautiful gowns,
343
00:18:52,841 --> 00:18:55,446
along with tailor-mades
and hand-me-downs.
344
00:18:55,582 --> 00:18:58,010
Where you see honest men
and pickpockets skilled,
345
00:18:58,146 --> 00:19:00,752
and business never closes
till somebody gets killed.
346
00:19:00,887 --> 00:19:02,652
Now, just kidding.
347
00:19:02,788 --> 00:19:05,081
But there's a lot goin' down
on Beale Street tonight,
348
00:19:05,216 --> 00:19:07,348
and nowhere more-so
than at the Club Handy.
349
00:19:07,484 --> 00:19:09,224
Come around if you wanna see
Big Mama Thornton,
350
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,821
layin' down her newest hit.
351
00:19:11,957 --> 00:19:13,029
[Thornton singing]
Get it, get it
352
00:19:13,165 --> 00:19:14,028
[saxophonist] Get it! Come on!
353
00:19:14,163 --> 00:19:15,996
Oh, let's do it
354
00:19:16,131 --> 00:19:19,435
[Memphis DJ] Now, listen up,
while Brown America speaks.
355
00:19:19,570 --> 00:19:23,965
You ain't nothin'
but a hound dog
356
00:19:24,101 --> 00:19:25,573
Quit snoopin'
'round my door
357
00:19:27,706 --> 00:19:30,171
[Thornton continues singing]
358
00:19:34,381 --> 00:19:38,885
[Parker] Just why
a truck driver
from Memphis, Tennessee,
359
00:19:39,021 --> 00:19:42,651
liked to hang out
on Beale Street, I do not know.
360
00:19:42,787 --> 00:19:46,460
You told me
you was high class
But I could see through that...
361
00:19:46,596 --> 00:19:48,861
[Parker]
But it did him no favors,
362
00:19:48,996 --> 00:19:52,760
fitting into them
white housing projects.
363
00:19:52,896 --> 00:19:55,673
Hey, squirrel. Nice shoes.
364
00:19:55,808 --> 00:20:02,313
And, Daddy, I know
That you ain't
no real cool cat
365
00:20:03,178 --> 00:20:04,707
Hey, Elvis!
366
00:20:04,843 --> 00:20:08,044
["Vegas" by Doja Cat playing]
367
00:20:11,848 --> 00:20:13,625
[girl] Hey, Tommy.
368
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:15,590
That's that boy whose record
everybody's talkin' about.
369
00:20:22,402 --> 00:20:24,731
You ain't nothin'
but a hound dog
370
00:20:43,251 --> 00:20:47,624
[boy] Hey, sideburns.
Where's the Negro suit today?
371
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:52,193
[Parker] He was crazy
for that Beale Street music.
372
00:20:52,329 --> 00:20:54,993
Beale Street style.
373
00:20:55,128 --> 00:20:58,398
He had Beale Street stars
in his eyes.
374
00:20:58,534 --> 00:21:00,397
What do you think, Tony? Huh?
375
00:21:00,532 --> 00:21:02,166
B.B. King.
376
00:21:02,301 --> 00:21:06,806
No, I didn't take my boy away
from nothin'.
377
00:21:06,942 --> 00:21:10,414
He was runnin'
from the day he was born.
378
00:21:10,549 --> 00:21:14,983
I just opened the door
to our destiny.
379
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,981
[Gladys] So without so much as
a word to your daddy and me,
380
00:21:18,117 --> 00:21:19,655
you quit your job
to go traveling
381
00:21:19,791 --> 00:21:22,025
all the way to Florida
with this Colonel fellow
382
00:21:22,161 --> 00:21:23,884
that we have never met.
383
00:21:24,020 --> 00:21:25,393
Mama, it's only four days.
384
00:21:25,528 --> 00:21:27,993
Yeah, four days.
And then what?
385
00:21:28,128 --> 00:21:31,530
I knew a fella once,
got his record on the radio.
386
00:21:31,665 --> 00:21:33,868
It was all over in a flash.
387
00:21:34,003 --> 00:21:37,000
Mama, I'm just trying
to take care of you and Daddy.
388
00:21:37,135 --> 00:21:39,005
That's all I have
ever cared about.
389
00:21:39,140 --> 00:21:40,708
I ain't ever gonna let us
get back to a place again
390
00:21:40,843 --> 00:21:42,103
where Daddy gets in trouble
with the law
391
00:21:42,238 --> 00:21:43,777
-to put food on the table.
-Elvis!
392
00:21:44,918 --> 00:21:46,142
How dare you?
393
00:21:47,120 --> 00:21:48,351
As the good Lord warns us,
394
00:21:48,487 --> 00:21:50,850
do not wear yourself out
to get rich.
395
00:21:50,985 --> 00:21:54,823
Do not trust your own
goddamn cleverness!
396
00:21:54,959 --> 00:21:57,490
[sighs]
397
00:21:57,626 --> 00:22:00,563
Elvis, you've upset your mama.
398
00:22:11,009 --> 00:22:12,509
[shaky sigh]
399
00:22:14,137 --> 00:22:15,809
You know, Mama,
I was thinkin',
400
00:22:15,945 --> 00:22:17,879
maybe I'll buy you one of them
pink Cadillacs
401
00:22:18,015 --> 00:22:20,077
like you saw back when
you was working
at the hospital.
402
00:22:21,254 --> 00:22:23,113
I don't need no pink Cadillac.
403
00:22:24,686 --> 00:22:27,049
Satnin, I just gotta be making
404
00:22:27,185 --> 00:22:28,857
the most of this thing
while I can.
405
00:22:28,993 --> 00:22:31,724
It's like Daddy says, this
could all be over in a flash.
406
00:22:31,860 --> 00:22:34,561
I'm not fearful
of it being over, Booby.
407
00:22:34,696 --> 00:22:37,565
I don't know how to explain it.
408
00:22:37,701 --> 00:22:41,463
But I saw it
in that girl's eyes.
409
00:22:41,599 --> 00:22:45,735
It's something beyond us,
but I know that whatever it is,
410
00:22:45,870 --> 00:22:48,445
it's something that...
411
00:22:48,580 --> 00:22:51,173
It's something
that can come between us.
412
00:22:51,308 --> 00:22:54,582
-[crying softly]
-Oh, no, Mama, no. Hey.
413
00:22:54,718 --> 00:22:56,647
Ain't nothing ever
gonna do that.
414
00:22:56,783 --> 00:22:59,850
You're my girl. My Satnin.
415
00:22:59,985 --> 00:23:02,253
You'll always be
my bestest girl.
416
00:23:02,389 --> 00:23:04,126
Hey.
417
00:23:04,262 --> 00:23:07,125
-Yeah.
-Yeah?
418
00:23:07,260 --> 00:23:10,325
-[trembling sigh]
-I will call you every night.
419
00:23:13,404 --> 00:23:15,297
Will you promise me, Booby?
420
00:23:16,239 --> 00:23:18,232
I promise.
421
00:23:18,368 --> 00:23:20,773
I promise. I promise,
I promise.
422
00:23:20,909 --> 00:23:22,906
-All right. I love you.
-Bye, baby.
423
00:23:23,041 --> 00:23:24,574
[Elvis] Nothing but nothing...
424
00:23:24,709 --> 00:23:25,678
I love you.
425
00:23:25,813 --> 00:23:27,276
...is gonna come between us.
426
00:23:27,411 --> 00:23:29,414
-[Scotty] Let's go!
-[Gladys] Bye, Booby!
427
00:23:29,550 --> 00:23:30,950
See you soon!
428
00:23:31,784 --> 00:23:34,758
Wanna bet? [laughs]
429
00:23:34,893 --> 00:23:38,056
Well, it's one for the money
Two for the show
430
00:23:38,191 --> 00:23:40,158
Three to get ready
Now go, cat, go
431
00:23:40,294 --> 00:23:45,026
But don't you
Step on my blue suede shoes
432
00:23:45,162 --> 00:23:46,570
Well, you can do anything
433
00:23:46,705 --> 00:23:50,003
But stay off of my
Blue suede shoes
434
00:23:50,138 --> 00:23:52,840
Well, you can knock me down
Step in my face
435
00:23:52,975 --> 00:23:54,639
[over loudspeaker]
Your attention, please.
436
00:23:54,774 --> 00:23:56,272
I have some good news.
437
00:23:56,408 --> 00:23:59,507
Our next four nights
are sold out...
438
00:23:59,642 --> 00:24:01,277
...thanks to the dazzling
performances
439
00:24:01,413 --> 00:24:05,415
of our tremendous showman,
Hank Snow.
440
00:24:05,551 --> 00:24:12,520
Pardon me if I'm sentimental
When we say goodbye
441
00:24:12,655 --> 00:24:14,223
[Parker] And I've noticed
a mild interest
442
00:24:14,358 --> 00:24:16,792
in our newest act,
Elvis Presley.
443
00:24:16,928 --> 00:24:18,459
[playing up-tempo music]
444
00:24:23,571 --> 00:24:24,772
[groupie] Hi.
445
00:24:24,908 --> 00:24:26,473
Yeah, Dixie, I'll be back
before prom.
446
00:24:26,608 --> 00:24:29,309
[rock music continues]
447
00:24:29,444 --> 00:24:31,044
[crowd cheering]
448
00:24:31,179 --> 00:24:33,947
Well you can burn my house
Steal my car
449
00:24:34,082 --> 00:24:36,554
Drink my liquor
From an old fruit jar
450
00:24:36,689 --> 00:24:38,612
Do anything
that you want to do
451
00:24:38,748 --> 00:24:41,019
[Hank] Colonel,
what is that boy
doing on our tour?
452
00:24:41,154 --> 00:24:42,659
[Parker] Well, I told you
all about him.
453
00:24:42,794 --> 00:24:44,753
And he wants to record
one of your songs.
454
00:24:44,889 --> 00:24:46,260
Oh? Which one?
455
00:24:46,395 --> 00:24:47,395
All of them.
456
00:24:47,531 --> 00:24:49,492
Well, you warn him plenty.
457
00:24:49,628 --> 00:24:53,795
None of those lewd gyrations
or sudden, jerky movements.
458
00:24:53,930 --> 00:24:56,233
[Elvis yelling]
459
00:24:57,241 --> 00:24:58,543
Let's go!
460
00:24:59,639 --> 00:25:00,875
Let's rock!
461
00:25:04,447 --> 00:25:06,408
[women shrieking]
462
00:25:09,117 --> 00:25:10,979
Is that a pair
of young ladies' intimates
463
00:25:11,114 --> 00:25:12,355
I see upon the stage?
464
00:25:12,490 --> 00:25:14,548
Yes, I believe it is, Hank.
465
00:25:14,683 --> 00:25:17,523
Best not happen
when he sings one of my songs.
466
00:25:17,658 --> 00:25:19,191
I'm sure it won't.
467
00:25:19,327 --> 00:25:20,597
[Gladys] Elvis, the papers say
there are girls
468
00:25:20,733 --> 00:25:22,160
around your hotel
all night long.
469
00:25:22,296 --> 00:25:23,895
I don't even go out, Mama.
I stay in.
470
00:25:24,030 --> 00:25:26,003
You know, it gets lonesome.
471
00:25:26,138 --> 00:25:28,464
[radio DJ] I tell you, this
new sensation, Elvis Presley,
472
00:25:28,599 --> 00:25:30,441
he's breaking hearts
all over the South.
473
00:25:30,576 --> 00:25:32,038
Quit knocking at my door,
Scotty.
474
00:25:35,477 --> 00:25:37,277
[woman chuckles]
475
00:25:37,413 --> 00:25:43,588
[Elvis singing]
Are you sorry
We drifted apart?
476
00:25:45,450 --> 00:25:48,549
Never know
How much I love you
477
00:25:49,726 --> 00:25:53,696
Never know how much I care
478
00:25:53,831 --> 00:25:56,924
When you put your arms
around me
479
00:25:57,059 --> 00:25:58,493
[woman sighing]
480
00:26:00,770 --> 00:26:02,465
[Scotty] Oh, come on, E.P.
481
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,066
Life on the road ain't
the concern of folks back home.
482
00:26:05,202 --> 00:26:06,400
[Elvis singing] Fever
483
00:26:06,536 --> 00:26:08,236
[Bill] Why don't you try
one of these?
484
00:26:08,372 --> 00:26:10,538
Put the pep back
into your step.
485
00:26:10,673 --> 00:26:13,211
[Elvis singing]
What a lovely way to burn
486
00:26:15,086 --> 00:26:17,246
[Elvis singing]
Well, shake,
rattle and roll
487
00:26:17,382 --> 00:26:19,585
I said shake,
rattle and roll
488
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,491
I said shake, rattle and roll
I said shake, rattle and roll
489
00:26:22,626 --> 00:26:23,752
Well, you won't do right
490
00:26:23,887 --> 00:26:24,823
Whoo!
491
00:26:24,959 --> 00:26:26,323
To save your doggone soul
492
00:26:26,458 --> 00:26:27,630
[Jimmie] You're really
something else, man!
493
00:26:27,766 --> 00:26:29,095
I promise,
I'll put my heart in--
494
00:26:29,231 --> 00:26:30,466
-[Elvis chuckles]
-I wanna be just like you!
495
00:26:30,602 --> 00:26:32,163
[Elvis] Okay. Yeah, thank you.
496
00:26:32,298 --> 00:26:33,930
I can no longer,
in good conscience,
497
00:26:34,066 --> 00:26:35,295
go on stage with that boy.
498
00:26:35,431 --> 00:26:38,402
Yes, a conundrum. A conundrum.
499
00:26:38,537 --> 00:26:41,911
[announcer] Please welcome
to the stage, Hank Snow!
500
00:26:42,046 --> 00:26:45,715
After I perform, I shall
spend the night in prayer.
501
00:26:45,850 --> 00:26:48,510
And I will do
what needs to be done.
502
00:26:50,281 --> 00:26:54,252
[downtempo country music
playing]
503
00:26:57,559 --> 00:26:58,960
Come on, Jimmie!
504
00:27:01,327 --> 00:27:04,864
How do you think
that I feel
505
00:27:04,999 --> 00:27:07,495
Oh, baby
Oh, baby
506
00:27:07,630 --> 00:27:10,708
How do you think
that I feel
507
00:27:11,673 --> 00:27:13,634
[music fades]
508
00:27:22,284 --> 00:27:24,546
[Parker] That night,
I happened to see him.
509
00:27:25,289 --> 00:27:26,691
Alone.
510
00:27:27,655 --> 00:27:28,693
Lost.
511
00:27:31,762 --> 00:27:36,157
A snowman is only as good...
512
00:27:36,292 --> 00:27:38,399
as his attraction.
513
00:27:38,535 --> 00:27:40,199
[Bill] Elvis!
514
00:27:40,334 --> 00:27:42,036
-Come on, man.
-Elvis, come on! Hurry up!
515
00:27:46,769 --> 00:27:49,242
[Parker] It was all,
or nothing.
516
00:27:49,377 --> 00:27:50,774
[Bill] Elvis, we're going
to the hall of mirrors!
517
00:27:50,909 --> 00:27:52,443
[Elvis] Wait up!
518
00:27:52,578 --> 00:27:54,417
[Jimmie] Screw the hall
of mirrors. That's boring.
519
00:27:54,553 --> 00:27:57,414
[all chattering, laughing]
520
00:27:58,681 --> 00:28:01,522
[Scotty] Right, hang on.
Here we go.
521
00:28:01,657 --> 00:28:03,585
[speaking Ciazarn]
522
00:28:04,593 --> 00:28:05,422
[Elvis] Hold on.
523
00:28:07,159 --> 00:28:08,898
All right, fellas. Come on.
524
00:28:12,330 --> 00:28:14,695
-Oh.
-[Parker] Lost, my boy?
525
00:28:16,541 --> 00:28:18,237
Colonel Parker, sir.
526
00:28:20,910 --> 00:28:23,712
-You look lost.
-[chuckling]
527
00:28:23,847 --> 00:28:26,113
-I guess I am.
-Ah, yes.
528
00:28:26,249 --> 00:28:29,919
The roar of the crowd.
The life on the road.
529
00:28:30,054 --> 00:28:32,182
And then calling home
to your loved ones,
530
00:28:32,317 --> 00:28:34,324
pretending nothing has changed,
531
00:28:34,460 --> 00:28:36,893
when everything has.
532
00:28:37,791 --> 00:28:40,127
Yeah. Lost.
533
00:28:41,926 --> 00:28:44,460
I'm sorry, sir. I... I meant
I don't know the way out.
534
00:28:44,596 --> 00:28:49,135
Yeah, that is precisely
what I am saying.
535
00:28:49,271 --> 00:28:54,101
I... I saw you.
Apart from all the others.
536
00:28:54,236 --> 00:28:56,473
Burdened.
537
00:28:56,608 --> 00:28:59,278
Like you don't know
how to get out of this.
538
00:29:00,352 --> 00:29:01,742
But I do.
539
00:29:03,415 --> 00:29:05,048
[Zina singing]
Snowman's coming
540
00:29:05,183 --> 00:29:06,422
Allow me to show you.
541
00:29:06,558 --> 00:29:09,426
Yes, he's coming
542
00:29:09,562 --> 00:29:13,994
Take his magic hand
543
00:29:14,129 --> 00:29:15,965
[Parker]
Creatures of the carnival.
544
00:29:16,100 --> 00:29:18,264
-And I am one myself.
-[crowd exclaiming]
545
00:29:18,399 --> 00:29:21,529
It's where I learned the art
of the snow job.
546
00:29:21,665 --> 00:29:23,039
-[Elvis] Snow job?
-[Parker] Yes.
547
00:29:23,174 --> 00:29:24,807
It's like the trick
you do with the wiggling,
548
00:29:24,943 --> 00:29:26,501
getting all the girls
hyped up,
549
00:29:26,636 --> 00:29:28,208
empty their wallets
and leave them
550
00:29:28,343 --> 00:29:30,776
with nothing but the smiles
on their faces.
551
00:29:30,911 --> 00:29:31,975
I'm no trickster.
552
00:29:32,110 --> 00:29:33,911
Oh, yes, you are.
553
00:29:34,047 --> 00:29:36,243
All showmen are snowmen.
554
00:29:36,379 --> 00:29:38,113
It's a wonderful place.
555
00:29:38,249 --> 00:29:39,648
Nobody on the aerio.
556
00:29:40,624 --> 00:29:41,826
[speaking Ciazarn]
557
00:29:43,524 --> 00:29:47,459
Your future, Mr. Presley,
blazing before you.
558
00:29:47,594 --> 00:29:50,835
Recording contracts,
television, even Hollywood.
559
00:29:54,331 --> 00:29:56,006
You're great, Colonel.
560
00:29:56,141 --> 00:29:59,239
You are the best person
I could ever hope to work with.
561
00:29:59,374 --> 00:30:00,872
You know, this is something
I ain't never
562
00:30:01,008 --> 00:30:02,845
said to nobody before...
563
00:30:02,981 --> 00:30:04,809
But I believe
I can be great, too.
564
00:30:04,945 --> 00:30:06,541
Oh, no doubt.
565
00:30:06,677 --> 00:30:09,648
But we could be
even greater together.
566
00:30:09,783 --> 00:30:14,858
But to achieve this, I need
to represent you exclusively.
567
00:30:14,994 --> 00:30:17,290
Exclusively?
Sir, I... I don't follow.
568
00:30:18,828 --> 00:30:20,055
What about Hank Snow?
569
00:30:20,190 --> 00:30:21,994
Hank. Yes...
570
00:30:22,129 --> 00:30:24,066
He sent me here to fire you.
571
00:30:25,899 --> 00:30:27,703
[metal creaking]
572
00:30:27,838 --> 00:30:29,496
Hank wants you off the tour.
573
00:30:29,632 --> 00:30:33,075
So I will have to leave Hank.
574
00:30:34,375 --> 00:30:36,344
We will both have to
make sacrifices.
575
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,708
We will need a record label
with national distribution.
576
00:30:41,551 --> 00:30:43,085
RCA?
577
00:30:44,917 --> 00:30:46,755
RCA.
578
00:30:46,891 --> 00:30:49,487
Sam Phillips... discovered me.
579
00:30:49,623 --> 00:30:52,887
I know, but we have a way
to help Sam understand
580
00:30:53,022 --> 00:30:56,059
that it would be foolish of him
to hold you back.
581
00:30:56,195 --> 00:30:58,264
Every man has his price.
582
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,300
[Sam] RCA does have
the distribution.
583
00:31:00,435 --> 00:31:01,429
[Elvis] I just need to know
that you'll
584
00:31:01,564 --> 00:31:02,830
still be with me as friends.
585
00:31:02,966 --> 00:31:05,001
Don't doubt that,
we're not going anywhere.
586
00:31:05,136 --> 00:31:08,669
Marion and I just don't want to
stand in your way, that's all.
587
00:31:08,805 --> 00:31:12,074
The world needs
to hear you sing, Elvis.
588
00:31:12,209 --> 00:31:14,480
[newscaster] Elvis Presley's
contract sold to RCA today
589
00:31:14,615 --> 00:31:16,580
for the highest price
in music history.
590
00:31:16,715 --> 00:31:19,185
Quite the payday
for Sun Records.
591
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,252
It's just business.
Show business.
592
00:31:22,388 --> 00:31:23,684
To achieve truly great things,
593
00:31:23,820 --> 00:31:26,095
one must make
truly great sacrifices.
594
00:31:26,230 --> 00:31:29,791
You will have to be free
of any entanglements.
595
00:31:29,927 --> 00:31:33,601
You see, my boy,
show business is snow business.
596
00:31:33,736 --> 00:31:37,603
And the fans need to believe
that you are always available.
597
00:31:37,738 --> 00:31:39,300
[Elvis] The Colonel says
that with all the publicity
598
00:31:39,436 --> 00:31:40,811
that's gonna be coming,
599
00:31:40,947 --> 00:31:42,971
he might have to
put it out there that...
600
00:31:43,107 --> 00:31:44,437
That...
601
00:31:44,573 --> 00:31:46,614
I don't have a girl.
602
00:31:46,749 --> 00:31:49,978
[sobbing]
603
00:31:50,114 --> 00:31:53,552
[Parker] Then we will need
your parents' legal commitment.
604
00:31:53,687 --> 00:31:57,160
They may need a bit
of convincing themselves.
605
00:31:57,296 --> 00:31:59,162
[Gladys] Sam Phillips
is a good man we can trust.
606
00:31:59,297 --> 00:32:02,494
We don't know this Colonel
from a nail in a wall.
607
00:32:02,630 --> 00:32:04,458
[man] Is there a lawyer
representing the family?
608
00:32:04,594 --> 00:32:05,733
[Parker] Oh, unnecessary.
609
00:32:05,869 --> 00:32:07,467
I am of the firm opinion
610
00:32:07,603 --> 00:32:10,907
that family is the most
important thing in the world.
611
00:32:11,043 --> 00:32:13,633
In mind of that,
I have taken the liberty
612
00:32:13,769 --> 00:32:15,474
of making these contracts out
613
00:32:15,609 --> 00:32:18,680
in the name
of Elvis Presley Enterprises.
614
00:32:18,815 --> 00:32:20,048
A family business.
615
00:32:20,184 --> 00:32:22,849
And I was thinking,
Vernon Presley:
616
00:32:22,984 --> 00:32:24,450
Business Manager.
617
00:32:27,818 --> 00:32:29,725
[Elvis] What do you think,
Daddy?
618
00:32:29,861 --> 00:32:32,128
[Vernon] Uh... Well, uh...
619
00:32:32,263 --> 00:32:33,991
-I like it very much, son.
-[Parker] Ah!
620
00:32:34,126 --> 00:32:35,857
[laughing]
621
00:32:35,992 --> 00:32:39,298
Mrs. Presley,
your son has a unique gift.
622
00:32:39,433 --> 00:32:40,868
It's as though
he has the strength
623
00:32:41,004 --> 00:32:43,330
of two men inside of him.
624
00:32:43,465 --> 00:32:45,066
[pen clicks]
625
00:32:45,202 --> 00:32:46,705
[Elvis] You know, Colonel,
I would do anything
626
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:48,404
to make sure my mama and daddy
never have to live
627
00:32:48,540 --> 00:32:50,376
in no poverty ever again.
628
00:32:50,512 --> 00:32:53,976
Mama, it's gonna turn out
so, so good.
629
00:32:54,112 --> 00:32:55,316
Mm.
630
00:32:56,984 --> 00:32:58,519
[camera clicks]
631
00:32:58,655 --> 00:33:00,024
Colonel, I wasn't fooling
when I told those other kids
632
00:33:00,159 --> 00:33:01,587
I was gonna buy 'em
a Cadillac one day.
633
00:33:01,722 --> 00:33:04,151
My boy, with me, you will
buy them two Cadillacs.
634
00:33:04,287 --> 00:33:05,557
Two?
635
00:33:06,961 --> 00:33:07,996
A hundred?
636
00:33:08,131 --> 00:33:09,228
-Two hundred.
-[chuckles]
637
00:33:09,363 --> 00:33:11,193
-A thousand.
-A million.
638
00:33:11,329 --> 00:33:12,564
An aeroplane.
639
00:33:12,699 --> 00:33:14,635
-How about a rocket ship?
-[both laugh]
640
00:33:14,771 --> 00:33:19,043
Well, maybe not a rocket ship.
My mama don't like me to fly.
641
00:33:19,178 --> 00:33:23,246
But me, I've always
wanted to fly. Fast.
642
00:33:23,382 --> 00:33:27,014
Faster than the speed of light
to the Rock of Eternity.
643
00:33:27,150 --> 00:33:29,245
What? To the Rock of Eternity?
644
00:33:29,381 --> 00:33:30,879
Captain Marvel, Jr.
645
00:33:32,056 --> 00:33:33,717
He's my favorite
comic book hero.
646
00:33:34,857 --> 00:33:36,586
He flies.
647
00:33:36,722 --> 00:33:38,557
Well, what about you,
Mr. Presley?
648
00:33:39,523 --> 00:33:41,527
Are you ready to fly?
649
00:33:42,460 --> 00:33:44,827
Yes, sir. I'm ready.
650
00:33:45,704 --> 00:33:47,027
Ready to fly.
651
00:33:55,237 --> 00:33:56,841
[producer 1 over intercom]
Uh, Mr. Presley,
652
00:33:56,976 --> 00:33:58,905
try not to move around
so much during the takes.
653
00:33:59,041 --> 00:34:01,283
[Elvis] If I can't move,
I can't sing.
654
00:34:01,418 --> 00:34:04,214
[singing]
Well, since my baby left me
655
00:34:04,350 --> 00:34:05,881
[band plays two chords]
656
00:34:06,016 --> 00:34:09,216
Well, I found a new place
To dwell
657
00:34:09,352 --> 00:34:10,953
[producer 2] What is he doing?
We paid for this?
658
00:34:11,088 --> 00:34:12,854
It's down at the end of
Lonely Street at...
659
00:34:12,989 --> 00:34:14,698
[producer 2]
It's a suicide song.
660
00:34:14,834 --> 00:34:17,393
...Heartbreak Hotel
661
00:34:17,528 --> 00:34:20,265
[Parker] Them know-it-alls
said I'd backed
the wrong horse.
662
00:34:20,401 --> 00:34:22,602
But my boy knew teenagers.
663
00:34:22,738 --> 00:34:26,939
And that first record
changed everything.
664
00:34:27,074 --> 00:34:31,677
Well, it's so very hard to have
To leave the one you love
665
00:34:31,813 --> 00:34:35,042
And you get more lonely
With each passing day
666
00:34:36,786 --> 00:34:41,255
It's so lonely just sitting
And dreaming of...
667
00:34:41,391 --> 00:34:42,787
[newscaster 1]
In a few short months,
668
00:34:42,922 --> 00:34:44,623
Elvis Presley has popped
out of nowhere.
669
00:34:44,759 --> 00:34:46,890
Everywhere he goes,
he causes riots,
670
00:34:47,025 --> 00:34:49,630
mountains of press
and rivers of money.
671
00:34:49,766 --> 00:34:52,126
[newscaster 2] It's another
gold record for Elvis Presley.
672
00:34:52,261 --> 00:34:54,963
This one giving him his first
worldwide hit.
673
00:34:56,467 --> 00:34:58,373
[crowd screaming]
674
00:34:59,406 --> 00:35:02,478
[maid] Mrs. Presley, look!
675
00:35:02,614 --> 00:35:05,808
Come on, Mrs. Presley,
let me show you
how to use this.
676
00:35:05,944 --> 00:35:08,117
Come on, hens! Come on, hens!
Come on!
677
00:35:08,253 --> 00:35:11,813
Come on! Outside!
Out of my house!
678
00:35:11,948 --> 00:35:14,455
Come on, this way!
Come on, babies!
679
00:35:15,319 --> 00:35:16,624
Dodger!
680
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:17,854
[grunts]
681
00:35:18,796 --> 00:35:20,987
[Elvis grunting]
682
00:35:21,123 --> 00:35:23,023
-[Elvis] Go, Billy boy!
-Ya-hoo-hoo!
683
00:35:23,158 --> 00:35:24,967
[Parker] I took
my boy's wiggling
684
00:35:25,103 --> 00:35:27,662
and put it in the movies.
685
00:35:27,798 --> 00:35:29,664
I took his name and face,
686
00:35:29,799 --> 00:35:31,505
and put it on all sorts of toys
687
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:33,676
and knick-knacks,
and called it...
688
00:35:33,812 --> 00:35:35,101
"Merchandise."
689
00:35:35,237 --> 00:35:37,610
Your face on every
conceivable object,
690
00:35:37,745 --> 00:35:41,147
including teddy bear, perfume,
plaster busts...
691
00:35:41,283 --> 00:35:42,478
Of questionable likeness.
692
00:35:42,614 --> 00:35:44,144
"The Elvis Presley Game."
693
00:35:44,279 --> 00:35:47,389
Something so everyone
can show their love.
694
00:35:47,524 --> 00:35:51,888
Grandma Dodger,
what is that behind your ear?
695
00:35:53,030 --> 00:35:55,056
[Gladys] "I hate Elvis."
696
00:35:57,064 --> 00:35:58,394
Huh?
697
00:35:58,529 --> 00:36:00,059
Yes. I hate Elvis.
698
00:36:00,195 --> 00:36:01,738
In my way of thinking,
"I love Elvis,"
699
00:36:01,874 --> 00:36:03,073
that's an easy sell.
700
00:36:03,208 --> 00:36:04,899
Those who hate your son
will do so
701
00:36:05,034 --> 00:36:07,640
whether we profit
from it or not.
702
00:36:07,776 --> 00:36:12,414
After all, what is hate worth
if it's free?
703
00:36:13,776 --> 00:36:15,384
Oh, yeah. I get it.
704
00:36:19,155 --> 00:36:20,657
Snowman strikes again.
705
00:36:20,793 --> 00:36:22,957
[all laughing]
706
00:36:23,092 --> 00:36:25,724
[Parker] Merchandise,
promotion.
Diskin, what else do we have?
707
00:36:25,859 --> 00:36:27,364
-[Diskin] Necklaces.
-[Parker] Necklaces.
708
00:36:27,499 --> 00:36:30,432
-[Diskin] Scarves.
-[Parker] Oh, scarves. Yes...
709
00:36:30,567 --> 00:36:33,100
[Lansky] Mr. Presley
and Mr. King...
710
00:36:33,235 --> 00:36:34,434
regular peas in a pod,
711
00:36:34,570 --> 00:36:36,301
relieving me
of my finest threads.
712
00:36:36,436 --> 00:36:37,534
Must be some occasion.
713
00:36:37,670 --> 00:36:38,900
Mr. Lansky, it's Milton Berle.
714
00:36:39,036 --> 00:36:40,833
The whole of America'll
be watching.
715
00:36:40,969 --> 00:36:42,912
I don't watch television.
716
00:36:43,047 --> 00:36:44,246
So what's it gonna be?
717
00:36:44,382 --> 00:36:46,106
How you gonna
blow their wigs off?
718
00:36:46,242 --> 00:36:49,617
Well, the network
wants me to do a ballad.
719
00:36:49,752 --> 00:36:51,621
But I'm thinking about
cuttin' it up with "Hound Dog."
720
00:36:51,756 --> 00:36:53,115
Whoo!
721
00:36:53,250 --> 00:36:59,118
Elvis Presley, "Hound Dog,"
and Uncle Miltie.
722
00:36:59,254 --> 00:37:01,157
Strange things
are happening every day.
723
00:37:01,292 --> 00:37:04,065
You ain't nothin'
But a hound dog, hound dog
724
00:37:04,201 --> 00:37:06,303
Cryin' all the time
725
00:37:06,438 --> 00:37:08,795
You ain't nothin'
but a hound dog
726
00:37:08,931 --> 00:37:11,374
Cryin' all the time
727
00:37:11,509 --> 00:37:13,134
Well, you ain't never
Caught a rabbit
728
00:37:13,269 --> 00:37:15,806
And you ain't
no friend of mine
729
00:37:15,942 --> 00:37:18,542
When they said
You was high classed
730
00:37:18,678 --> 00:37:20,911
Well, that was just a lie
731
00:37:21,046 --> 00:37:23,713
Yeah, they said
You were high classed
732
00:37:23,849 --> 00:37:26,112
Behold, tomorrow,
all of America
733
00:37:26,248 --> 00:37:28,418
will be talking
about Elvis Presley.
734
00:37:28,554 --> 00:37:29,520
My wiggling boy.
735
00:37:29,655 --> 00:37:31,856
[Gladys and Vernon laughing]
736
00:37:31,991 --> 00:37:34,192
Even as a little one,
he made me laugh so.
737
00:37:34,328 --> 00:37:36,128
He's so funny!
738
00:37:36,263 --> 00:37:38,302
You never caught a rabbit
You ain't no friend of mine
739
00:37:40,366 --> 00:37:42,233
[laughter]
740
00:37:42,369 --> 00:37:44,836
You ain't nothin'
But a hound dog,
a hound dog
741
00:37:46,441 --> 00:37:47,771
Cryin' all the time
742
00:37:47,907 --> 00:37:49,243
[aide] And, Senator,
for the next leg
743
00:37:49,379 --> 00:37:50,809
of your racial integrity tour,
744
00:37:50,945 --> 00:37:53,940
we booked the Overton
Park Shell in Memphis.
745
00:37:54,076 --> 00:37:55,808
What are they laughing about?
746
00:37:55,944 --> 00:37:58,620
[laughter continues]
747
00:37:58,756 --> 00:38:01,985
[Elvis] You ain't nothin'
But a hound dog
748
00:38:03,326 --> 00:38:05,786
Cryin' all the time
749
00:38:05,921 --> 00:38:07,998
Who the hell is that?
750
00:38:08,133 --> 00:38:10,296
It's that boy from Memphis.
751
00:38:10,432 --> 00:38:12,595
[dreamily] Elvis Presley.
752
00:38:12,731 --> 00:38:14,834
Cryin' all the time
753
00:38:14,969 --> 00:38:19,334
A white boy from Memphis,
moving like a goddamn--
754
00:38:19,470 --> 00:38:25,349
[Elvis singing]
Is your heart
filled with pain
755
00:38:26,811 --> 00:38:29,379
Shall I come back...
756
00:38:29,514 --> 00:38:34,350
The obscenity and vulgarity
of this rock and roll music
757
00:38:34,486 --> 00:38:38,219
is obviously a means by which
the white man and his children
758
00:38:38,355 --> 00:38:40,489
can be driven to the level
of the Negro.
759
00:38:40,625 --> 00:38:42,525
[Elvis] The colored folks have
been singing and playing it
760
00:38:42,660 --> 00:38:45,026
just like
I'm doing it now, man,
more years than I know.
761
00:38:45,162 --> 00:38:46,533
Colonel Parker,
we called you in here
762
00:38:46,669 --> 00:38:48,329
to talk about this act
of yours.
763
00:38:48,465 --> 00:38:49,967
[TV reporter] A petition
has begun circulating
764
00:38:50,103 --> 00:38:52,540
to bar Elvis Presley
from television.
765
00:38:52,676 --> 00:38:54,237
[Eastland]
We've set up a committee
766
00:38:54,372 --> 00:38:56,910
to keep an eye on this vulgar,
animalistic rock and roll bum.
767
00:38:57,046 --> 00:38:58,741
[TV host] Your style
of gyrating while you sing
768
00:38:58,876 --> 00:39:00,173
has been bitterly criticized...
769
00:39:00,309 --> 00:39:02,015
I don't feel I'm doing
anything wrong.
770
00:39:02,150 --> 00:39:04,080
[woman] We simply will not
advertise on any station
771
00:39:04,216 --> 00:39:05,852
that puts this delinquent
on television.
772
00:39:05,988 --> 00:39:08,683
Colonel, you put an end
to your boy's animal behavior,
773
00:39:08,818 --> 00:39:10,684
or we will.
774
00:39:10,820 --> 00:39:13,361
[Parker] Don't worry, Senator,
my boy does what he's told.
775
00:39:13,496 --> 00:39:16,055
[Elvis singing]
Tell me, dear
776
00:39:16,191 --> 00:39:21,702
Are you lonesome tonight?
777
00:39:25,869 --> 00:39:27,842
"Elvis the Pelvis."
778
00:39:27,978 --> 00:39:30,904
That's one of the most childish
expressions I've ever heard
779
00:39:31,039 --> 00:39:33,043
coming from an adult.
780
00:39:33,178 --> 00:39:35,111
Is Mr. Allen gonna cancel me
from the show?
781
00:39:35,854 --> 00:39:37,084
Yes.
782
00:39:37,219 --> 00:39:39,284
Yes, he is.
783
00:39:39,419 --> 00:39:43,427
He is replacing you with one of
the country's greatest singers.
784
00:39:44,853 --> 00:39:46,258
Mario Lanza?
785
00:39:46,393 --> 00:39:47,624
Someone greater.
786
00:39:47,759 --> 00:39:50,566
The new Elvis Presley!
787
00:39:52,533 --> 00:39:54,702
Yeah, I snowed 'em!
788
00:39:54,838 --> 00:39:57,370
You just have to put on
one of these tails here,
789
00:39:57,506 --> 00:39:58,971
can sing the "Hound Dog,"
790
00:39:59,106 --> 00:40:02,244
and it's a light-hearted,
sophisticated family show.
791
00:40:02,380 --> 00:40:03,607
I can't move in one of these.
792
00:40:03,742 --> 00:40:04,675
And that is the point.
793
00:40:04,811 --> 00:40:06,844
Mr. Allen agreed only as long
794
00:40:06,979 --> 00:40:09,313
as there is no wiggling
of those hips.
795
00:40:09,449 --> 00:40:11,754
I can't figure it out. My own
mother approves of what I do.
796
00:40:11,890 --> 00:40:13,488
Mmm.
797
00:40:13,623 --> 00:40:16,322
You have read the papers,
my boy?
798
00:40:16,458 --> 00:40:18,123
Yeah, I read the papers.
799
00:40:18,259 --> 00:40:20,596
The papers say that I shot
my mother and smoke marijuana.
800
00:40:20,731 --> 00:40:23,665
Your movement's
in the style of a Black man,
801
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:26,129
and you have broken
the segregation laws.
802
00:40:26,265 --> 00:40:28,263
So let's follow the plan.
It's a good plan.
803
00:40:28,398 --> 00:40:30,430
You do the Allen Show,
family style,
804
00:40:30,566 --> 00:40:33,007
and then tomorrow
we go back to Memphis and
805
00:40:33,142 --> 00:40:36,812
we snow them on the July 4th
Children's Charitable Concert.
806
00:40:36,947 --> 00:40:40,042
And we put this whole
unfortunate misstep behind us.
807
00:40:40,178 --> 00:40:42,550
Now, do you want
to go into politics?
808
00:40:42,686 --> 00:40:45,555
Or shall we stay
in show business?
809
00:40:48,290 --> 00:40:49,758
[Steve Allen] We want to do
a show the whole family
810
00:40:49,893 --> 00:40:51,786
can watch and enjoy,
and we always do.
811
00:40:51,921 --> 00:40:53,162
And at this time, it gives me
extreme pleasure to introduce
812
00:40:53,297 --> 00:40:54,997
the new Elvis Presley!
813
00:40:55,132 --> 00:40:56,759
[dog barks]
814
00:40:56,894 --> 00:40:59,162
[faint crowd laughter]
815
00:40:59,297 --> 00:41:00,668
[female fan 1]
He used to be so hip.
816
00:41:00,803 --> 00:41:02,531
[male fan 1]
He looked so silly.
817
00:41:02,667 --> 00:41:04,534
[male fan 2]
I mean,
he looked like a butler.
818
00:41:04,670 --> 00:41:05,904
[female fan 2] I can't believe
he agreed to sing to a dog.
819
00:41:06,039 --> 00:41:07,203
-[door bangs]
-[Elvis] God damn it!
820
00:41:08,310 --> 00:41:09,511
[grunts angrily]
821
00:41:09,647 --> 00:41:11,010
He could've given us
some warning.
822
00:41:11,146 --> 00:41:12,882
I know how to do a skit,
I could've made it funny!
823
00:41:13,018 --> 00:41:16,510
The most stupid, embarrassing,
humiliating thing I ever did.
824
00:41:16,646 --> 00:41:18,152
Well, what the hell
do you want me to do about it?
825
00:41:18,287 --> 00:41:19,555
We're musicians!
826
00:41:19,691 --> 00:41:21,019
[female fan 3]
It's just embarrassing.
827
00:41:21,154 --> 00:41:22,315
[male fan 3]
Who does he think he is?
828
00:41:22,451 --> 00:41:24,460
[voices overlapping,
echoing faintly]
829
00:41:24,596 --> 00:41:27,124
-[horn toots]
-[fans screaming]
830
00:41:30,024 --> 00:41:33,328
[imperceptible]
831
00:41:40,704 --> 00:41:43,603
[Gladys] She just went on
and on about the damn dog.
832
00:41:43,738 --> 00:41:45,906
And I said, "Neighbors
shouldn't speak like that."
833
00:41:46,042 --> 00:41:47,514
And then she said...
834
00:41:47,649 --> 00:41:49,413
I like the bit with the dog.
835
00:41:49,548 --> 00:41:51,718
It was the most embarrassing
performance of my life, Daddy.
836
00:41:51,854 --> 00:41:53,918
She wasn't the only one
who said it.
837
00:41:54,053 --> 00:41:55,722
-All the neighbors did.
-Oh, God.
838
00:41:55,858 --> 00:41:57,360
Those New York people
were using you
839
00:41:57,495 --> 00:41:59,059
to poke fun at the whole South.
840
00:41:59,195 --> 00:42:02,830
Getting a laugh out of putting
a hillbilly in a tailcoat
841
00:42:02,965 --> 00:42:05,296
-and singing to a dog.
-[faint shouting]
842
00:42:05,432 --> 00:42:08,062
God damn it, Mama, it was
either that or I get canceled.
843
00:42:08,198 --> 00:42:10,104
Then that's it for television.
844
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:12,873
Colonel says I'm running out
of states that I'm welcome in.
845
00:42:13,008 --> 00:42:15,537
And they don't pay
unless I can perform.
846
00:42:15,673 --> 00:42:18,213
So Colonel says I play the
charity concert tomorrow night,
847
00:42:18,349 --> 00:42:20,707
as the new family style,
848
00:42:20,842 --> 00:42:23,579
then everybody calms down
and we get back on track.
849
00:42:23,714 --> 00:42:26,353
Someone's got to think about
keeping a roof over our heads.
850
00:42:26,489 --> 00:42:28,188
Roof over our head?
851
00:42:28,323 --> 00:42:30,958
We've always managed to keep
a roof over our head, Vernon.
852
00:42:31,094 --> 00:42:32,789
Mama, Daddy is
business manager.
It's his job.
853
00:42:32,924 --> 00:42:34,456
[Vernon] That's right.
854
00:42:34,591 --> 00:42:36,762
We was doing just fine
before that man came along.
855
00:42:36,897 --> 00:42:38,259
Colonel has got us all of this.
856
00:42:38,395 --> 00:42:40,831
I don't want all this!
You're unhappy!
857
00:42:40,967 --> 00:42:42,738
-I am not!
-[grunts loudly]
858
00:42:43,970 --> 00:42:45,834
You're losing yourself, Booby!
859
00:42:45,970 --> 00:42:47,637
Oh, hell, Mama, I--
860
00:42:47,773 --> 00:42:49,142
Satnin knows.
861
00:42:49,278 --> 00:42:50,277
[sighs]
862
00:42:50,412 --> 00:42:51,813
[heavy sigh]
863
00:42:57,085 --> 00:42:59,781
[Gladys] The way you sing
and move...
864
00:42:59,916 --> 00:43:01,548
it's God-given.
865
00:43:02,925 --> 00:43:05,151
So there can't be nothing

1038
00:52:10,502 --> 00:52:13,766
Well, stop talking about it
We're talking
about everything
1039
00:52:13,902 --> 00:52:15,842
And do somethin' about it
1040
00:52:15,978 --> 00:52:17,708
Elvis Presley!
1041
00:52:17,843 --> 00:52:21,217
Strange things happening
Every day
1042
00:52:23,651 --> 00:52:26,149
Just sing the nice song.
Smile the nice smile.
1043
00:52:26,284 --> 00:52:27,652
No wiggling.
1044
00:52:27,787 --> 00:52:29,682
Then we can get back
to our show business.
1045
00:52:29,818 --> 00:52:32,085
And have fun, my boy! Fun!
1046
00:52:35,366 --> 00:52:37,666
[Tharpe singing]
Oh, we want peace!
1047
00:52:37,802 --> 00:52:39,768
We want peace!
1048
00:52:39,904 --> 00:52:42,063
We oughta stop
talkin' about it
And do somethin' about it
1049
00:52:42,198 --> 00:52:46,840
Oh, there are strange
Things happening
1050
00:52:46,976 --> 00:52:52,908
Every day
1051
00:52:54,182 --> 00:52:56,978
[cheering, applause]
1052
00:53:03,025 --> 00:53:04,920
[cameras clicking]
1053
00:53:08,526 --> 00:53:11,367
[cheering subsides]
1054
00:53:11,502 --> 00:53:13,636
There's been a lot of talk
about the new Elvis.
1055
00:53:13,771 --> 00:53:16,030
[crowd jeering]
1056
00:53:21,541 --> 00:53:23,609
And of course, that other guy.
1057
00:53:25,310 --> 00:53:27,682
[crowd cheering]
1058
00:53:27,817 --> 00:53:30,450
[Elvis singing] You ain't
Nothin' but a hound dog
1059
00:53:30,585 --> 00:53:32,079
[chuckling]
Cryin' all the time
1060
00:53:35,022 --> 00:53:37,253
[Eastland] ...at his
command, both civil and other,
1061
00:53:37,388 --> 00:53:41,260
to maintain public order,
and prevent crime and riots.
1062
00:53:41,396 --> 00:53:43,057
He can use those forces...
1063
00:53:43,192 --> 00:53:46,735
to prevent the racial
integration of schools,
1064
00:53:46,870 --> 00:53:50,801
if this is necessary, under the
police powers of that state...
1065
00:53:50,936 --> 00:53:53,408
There's a lot of people
saying a lot of things.
1066
00:53:53,544 --> 00:53:55,137
[Eastland]
...in fact, it is his duty...
1067
00:53:55,273 --> 00:53:57,573
Of course you gotta listen
to the people that you love.
1068
00:53:57,708 --> 00:54:00,613
[Eastland] ...and prevent
turmoil
and strife within the state.
1069
00:54:02,618 --> 00:54:04,412
But in the end,
you gotta listen to yourself.
1070
00:54:04,547 --> 00:54:06,586
[crowd cheering]
1071
00:54:06,722 --> 00:54:08,683
So I want you to know,
those New York people
1072
00:54:08,818 --> 00:54:10,419
ain't gonna change me none.
1073
00:54:10,555 --> 00:54:12,251
[cheering, applause]
1074
00:54:12,387 --> 00:54:14,089
[Eastland]
...the subversives who own...
1075
00:54:14,225 --> 00:54:17,963
...control and dominate
the entertainment industry...
1076
00:54:18,098 --> 00:54:19,597
-"Trouble."
-[Eastland]
... are determined...
1077
00:54:19,733 --> 00:54:22,064
...to spread
Africanized culture...
1078
00:54:22,199 --> 00:54:26,408
I'm gonna show you what
the real Elvis is like tonight!
1079
00:54:26,543 --> 00:54:28,405
[Eastland]
...influencing your children...
1080
00:54:28,540 --> 00:54:29,812
to accept the Negroes.
1081
00:54:29,947 --> 00:54:31,236
[band plays chord]
1082
00:54:31,372 --> 00:54:32,245
If you're looking
for trouble
1083
00:54:32,381 --> 00:54:33,709
-No.
-What's going on?
1084
00:54:33,844 --> 00:54:35,274
You came to the right place
1085
00:54:36,817 --> 00:54:38,552
If you're looking
for trouble
1086
00:54:40,158 --> 00:54:41,357
Just look right in my face
1087
00:54:43,159 --> 00:54:44,789
I was born standing up
1088
00:54:46,426 --> 00:54:48,530
And talking back
1089
00:54:48,665 --> 00:54:54,595
My daddy was a green-eyed
Mountain jack
1090
00:54:54,731 --> 00:54:58,931
Because I'm evil
1091
00:54:59,066 --> 00:55:03,005
My middle name is misery
1092
00:55:07,149 --> 00:55:10,210
Well, I'm evil
1093
00:55:11,851 --> 00:55:15,358
So don't you mess
around with me
1094
00:55:21,862 --> 00:55:22,996
I've never looked
for trouble
1095
00:55:23,131 --> 00:55:24,834
[all screaming]
1096
00:55:24,969 --> 00:55:26,501
But I never ran
1097
00:55:28,204 --> 00:55:29,669
I don't take no orders
1098
00:55:31,109 --> 00:55:32,408
From no kind of man
1099
00:55:34,606 --> 00:55:35,774
I'm only made out
1100
00:55:37,676 --> 00:55:38,941
Of flesh, blood and bone
1101
00:55:39,077 --> 00:55:42,612
But if you're gonna
Start a rumble
1102
00:55:42,748 --> 00:55:45,877
Don't you try it on alone
1103
00:55:46,013 --> 00:55:49,249
Because I'm evil
1104
00:55:50,326 --> 00:55:53,554
My middle name is misery
1105
00:55:53,689 --> 00:55:55,189
[shrieking]
1106
00:55:57,329 --> 00:55:58,361
Elvis!
1107
00:55:58,497 --> 00:56:02,933
Well, I'm evil
1108
00:56:03,068 --> 00:56:05,673
So don't you
mess around with me
1109
00:56:05,808 --> 00:56:08,367
-[band accelerates tempo]
-[excited chattering]
1110
00:56:09,611 --> 00:56:12,206
I'm evil, evil
evil as can be
1111
00:56:13,550 --> 00:56:16,149
I'm evil
evil, evil as can be
1112
00:56:16,285 --> 00:56:17,250
[officers shouting]
1113
00:56:17,386 --> 00:56:18,615
So don't mess around
1114
00:56:18,751 --> 00:56:20,654
Don't mess around with me
1115
00:56:21,552 --> 00:56:23,123
I'm evil
1116
00:56:23,258 --> 00:56:24,057
[cameras whirring]
1117
00:56:24,192 --> 00:56:25,351
I'm evil
1118
00:56:26,495 --> 00:56:30,061
[faint singing] Evil, evil
1119
00:56:30,197 --> 00:56:33,902
Uh, now would be a good time
to get back into the car.
1120
00:56:34,037 --> 00:56:36,134
I'm evil
1121
00:56:36,270 --> 00:56:37,506
Evil
1122
00:56:38,140 --> 00:56:39,970
Evil
1123
00:56:40,105 --> 00:56:42,835
-[sound fades]
-[cameras clicking, whirring]
1124
00:56:42,970 --> 00:56:46,108
Our friends at RCA
are not gonna
be happy when they see this.
1125
00:56:47,218 --> 00:56:48,946
[up-tempo music continues]
1126
00:56:58,756 --> 00:57:01,319
[sounds fade, muffled]
1127
00:57:01,455 --> 00:57:03,499
[Parker] He didn't listen
to me.
1128
00:57:04,896 --> 00:57:06,301
-Why?
-[faint singing]
1129
00:57:06,436 --> 00:57:09,599
Why didn't he listen to me?
1130
00:57:09,735 --> 00:57:12,134
[faint singing] I'm evil
1131
00:57:13,970 --> 00:57:15,676
Get my boy off that stage!
1132
00:57:17,004 --> 00:57:18,045
...with me
1133
00:57:18,180 --> 00:57:19,009
[yelling]
1134
00:57:21,816 --> 00:57:24,811
[Scotty] Get your hands
off him. Hey!
1135
00:57:24,946 --> 00:57:26,951
[Bill] Hey, Elvis!
1136
00:57:41,271 --> 00:57:43,300
[women shrieking] Elvis!
1137
00:57:43,435 --> 00:57:45,964
Go look after the merchandise.
Look after the merchandise!
1138
00:57:46,100 --> 00:57:48,407
[all shouting, yelling]
1139
00:57:48,542 --> 00:57:49,808
[man] Elvis, come on!
1140
00:57:49,943 --> 00:57:51,408
Get off of me!
Mama, you get in the car!
1141
00:57:51,543 --> 00:57:53,212
Get in the car!
1142
00:57:53,347 --> 00:57:54,983
[screaming]
1143
00:57:55,118 --> 00:57:56,816
[panting]
1144
00:58:02,591 --> 00:58:04,318
You're gonna get us in trouble.
1145
00:58:05,493 --> 00:58:07,055
He's all right, come on.
1146
00:58:07,191 --> 00:58:09,195
-[Scotty] Elvis!
-[Bill] Scotty, come on.
1147
00:58:09,330 --> 00:58:10,357
Let's go.
1148
00:58:11,860 --> 00:58:13,602
[panting]
1149
00:58:15,965 --> 00:58:17,771
[fans thumping on car]
1150
00:58:22,179 --> 00:58:23,502
[siren wails]
1151
00:58:23,637 --> 00:58:27,074
[Parker] My dear boy
had chosen.
1152
00:58:27,209 --> 00:58:32,018
You, his audience, his fans.
1153
00:58:32,154 --> 00:58:36,590
He had no idea
what he had done
to both of us.
1154
00:58:36,726 --> 00:58:38,254
[Eastland]
We warned you, Colonel.
1155
00:58:38,390 --> 00:58:40,019
You've lost control
of this act of yours.
1156
00:58:40,155 --> 00:58:41,931
And he's dividing this nation.
1157
00:58:42,066 --> 00:58:46,360
There are a lot of people
who want to see him in jail.
1158
00:58:46,495 --> 00:58:48,604
[Parker] I had to find
a way out.
1159
00:58:49,735 --> 00:58:51,607
A way to save him.
1160
00:58:55,269 --> 00:58:59,714
[Elvis singing] Crawfish
1161
00:59:01,415 --> 00:59:04,719
Crawfish
1162
00:59:07,552 --> 00:59:12,217
No. There's no way my baby's
going to Germany for two years.
1163
00:59:12,353 --> 00:59:16,159
It is either the army or jail.
1164
00:59:17,301 --> 00:59:19,228
There is something else.
1165
00:59:19,363 --> 00:59:23,067
Vernon, they are poking
into your background.
1166
00:59:23,202 --> 00:59:24,801
We don't have nothin'
to be ashamed of!
1167
00:59:24,936 --> 00:59:26,566
Now, my daddy is a good man.
1168
00:59:26,701 --> 00:59:29,809
[Parker] Yes, yes.
But your papa did go to jail.
1169
00:59:29,945 --> 00:59:32,914
You know them,
and their flashy headlines.
1170
00:59:33,049 --> 00:59:36,977
"Elvis, The Draft Dodger."
"A Family of Delinquents."
1171
00:59:37,112 --> 00:59:40,211
There was no moon
1172
00:59:40,347 --> 00:59:44,049
[Parker] We may never
book another date,
or sell another record again.
1173
00:59:44,185 --> 00:59:45,784
And my way of thinking,
1174
00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:48,263
the army could be
a brand new start
for all of us.
1175
00:59:48,399 --> 00:59:50,164
Let them cut your hair.
1176
00:59:50,299 --> 00:59:53,431
Prove to the world that you are
a clean-cut, all-American boy.
1177
00:59:53,566 --> 00:59:56,496
You do your two years, and when
you come back, I promise you
1178
00:59:56,631 --> 00:59:58,136
I will have done
everything I can
1179
00:59:58,271 --> 01:00:00,971
to make you the biggest
actor in Hollywood.
1180
01:00:01,106 --> 01:00:02,744
You will choose
your own pictures.
1181
01:00:04,781 --> 01:00:06,243
-It's gonna be okay, Mama.
-[sobbing]
1182
01:00:06,378 --> 01:00:10,747
And I pulled Mr. Crawfish
out of his hole
1183
01:00:10,882 --> 01:00:12,613
[TV reporter]
Young Mr. Presley,
a rock and roller no more.
1184
01:00:12,749 --> 01:00:15,984
He'll do six months'
basic training at Fort Chaffee
1185
01:00:16,119 --> 01:00:18,053
before shipping off to Germany.
1186
01:00:18,188 --> 01:00:19,827
[Elvis continues singing
faintly]
1187
01:00:19,962 --> 01:00:21,553
[Parker] Since the day
he was born,
1188
01:00:21,688 --> 01:00:24,293
she had feared
losing her second son.
1189
01:00:27,871 --> 01:00:30,035
While he was
in basic training...
1190
01:00:31,101 --> 01:00:33,434
she worried and drank...
1191
01:00:34,938 --> 01:00:36,371
Worried...
1192
01:00:37,347 --> 01:00:39,009
and drank.
1193
01:00:39,145 --> 01:00:41,145
-[loud thump]
-[glass clattering]
1194
01:00:47,115 --> 01:00:48,418
[faint] Hey...
1195
01:00:48,554 --> 01:00:49,758
Alberta!
1196
01:00:54,364 --> 01:00:56,325
[sobbing quietly]
1197
01:01:00,962 --> 01:01:03,134
[crying]
1198
01:01:13,516 --> 01:01:15,808
[Elvis crying] Oh, no...
1199
01:01:15,944 --> 01:01:17,412
No!
1200
01:01:21,257 --> 01:01:25,884
There are some fine folks
from the press waiting outside.
1201
01:01:26,020 --> 01:01:30,862
A few questions, pictures,
and they will leave us alone.
1202
01:01:30,997 --> 01:01:33,868
I can't get him to do anything.
1203
01:01:35,365 --> 01:01:38,103
He trusted her
like nobody else,
1204
01:01:38,239 --> 01:01:41,843
and now she's gone
and who does he have now?
1205
01:01:43,874 --> 01:01:44,747
[Vernon] Well...
1206
01:01:46,343 --> 01:01:48,107
He trusts you.
[shaky exhale]
1207
01:01:48,243 --> 01:01:50,247
Can you talk to him?
1208
01:01:51,386 --> 01:01:53,217
Oh, no.
1209
01:01:54,381 --> 01:01:56,247
It's not my place...
1210
01:01:56,383 --> 01:01:58,085
Can you do it, Colonel?
1211
01:01:58,220 --> 01:02:00,059
We need your help now.
1212
01:02:03,632 --> 01:02:05,625
[Elvis sobbing quietly]
1213

Your daddy is doing
the best he knows how,
1214
01:02:13,235 --> 01:02:16,269
but he is overwhelmed.
1215
01:02:16,405 --> 01:02:18,576
He needs your help out there.
1216
01:02:18,711 --> 01:02:22,407
[crying] I can't go out there.
I just wanna stay here forever.
1217
01:02:22,543 --> 01:02:24,653
-Oh, my boy.
-[sobbing]
1218
01:02:24,788 --> 01:02:27,851
No one could never
replace her.
1219
01:02:27,986 --> 01:02:30,090
But you listen to me.
1220
01:02:30,225 --> 01:02:33,290
From this moment on,
anything she would have done...
1221
01:02:34,324 --> 01:02:37,261
I will carry out, in her name.
1222
01:02:37,397 --> 01:02:42,627
When you are overseas,
I will stay here at home.
1223
01:02:42,763 --> 01:02:46,105
And I will work,
and I will worry.
1224
01:02:48,136 --> 01:02:49,768
Trust me.
1225
01:02:52,081 --> 01:02:56,174
Now, you go and you stand
by your papa.
1226
01:02:56,309 --> 01:02:57,545
You comfort him.
1227
01:02:58,454 --> 01:03:00,348
You comfort him.
1228
01:03:00,484 --> 01:03:02,555
Comfort your friends
and your family,
1229
01:03:02,691 --> 01:03:04,725
and even your fans. Hmm?
1230
01:03:04,860 --> 01:03:08,193
Because if you don't do that...
1231
01:03:08,328 --> 01:03:11,157
all that your mama
has sacrificed for you
1232
01:03:11,293 --> 01:03:13,033
will be for nothing.
1233
01:03:14,799 --> 01:03:15,970
[crying]
1234
01:03:17,136 --> 01:03:18,501
[Elvis] No matter what happens,
1235
01:03:18,636 --> 01:03:21,171
you stay with me
through thick and thin, okay?
1236
01:03:21,307 --> 01:03:24,475
You're like a...

Even from himself.
1242
01:04:12,953 --> 01:04:16,927
My plan, Elvis Presley
would return
1243

1244
01:04:22,834 --> 01:04:23,906

[thunder rumbling]

of all.

of a United States
Air Force officer.
1253
01:04:53,198 --> 01:04:55,128
And then he said to me...
1254
01:04:55,263 --> 01:04:56,730
[sucks, exhales]
1255
01:04:56,865 --> 01:04:58,300
[gruff voice]
"You know what, Priscilla?

01:04:58,436 --> 01:05:00,131
You gotta listen to me,

because this guy, he's got
girls all over the world, okay?

He's got girls waiting
outside of his house

and girls writing him
endless fan mail."

01:05:06,473 --> 01:05:08,677

And then Mommy decides
to pitch in and go,

01:05:08,812 --> 01:05:10,985
"Ooh, what could he possibly
see in you, okay?

-[gasps]

we talk and we listen
to music, okay? That's all."
1266
01:05:22,531 --> 01:05:24,825
And then they were going on
and on about that photo of you
1267
01:05:24,961 --> 01:05:27,429
and Natalie Wood riding around
on that bike in Memphis,

01:05:30,065 --> 01:05:33,306
And I said this really calmly,
I said, "Listen, okay?

He's just really lonely.
And quite frankly, so am I."
1271
01:05:39,779 --> 01:05:42,280
And then
they didn't really know
what to say after that,
1272
01:05:42,415 --> 01:05:45,752
so I went upstairs
and I went to bed.
1273
01:05:45,888 --> 01:05:48,314
Never met anyone like you.
1274
01:05:48,449 --> 01:05:49,618
Well, I hope not.

So... what
is Natalie Wood like?

She's nice, you know.
1277
01:05:57,925 --> 01:05:59,527
She's been writing me
about acting.

stories about...

01:06:04,166 --> 01:06:06,307

be as good as him, you know?

Mmm.

Colonel's promised me
that when I get back
1283
01:06:14,914 --> 01:06:17,283
he's gonna set me up
in Hollywood
to be a serious actor.
1284

That's really what I dream of.

Hey, E.P., E.P.,
now, you promised the captain

that you'd get her home
by 7:00.

What? No...

He don't boss me around.

want to sing in your films,

a dramatic actor.

[Elvis] Well, sir, that's
my big ambition now.

a lot of experience.

as good as Brando.

in movies where he didn't sing.

A little less conversation

And introducing

We had a lot of fun!
1323

But Elvis was a young man,
1324
01:08:54,508 --> 01:08:56,870
and of course,
he got distracted.
1325
01:08:57,006 --> 01:09:02,008

and cheaper.

01:11:20,915 --> 01:11:22,347
for every nickel they had
1381
01:11:22,482 --> 01:11:24,754
and now it is time
for us to pack up our tents
1382
01:11:24,890 --> 01:11:26,786
and move on
to even greener pastures.
1383
01:11:26,922 --> 01:11:28,460
We've seen "Elvis the Rebel,"
1384
01:11:28,595 --> 01:11:30,332
we've seen
"Elvis the Movie Star."
1385
01:11:30,467 --> 01:11:33,967
Now we will see
"Elvis the Family Entertainer."
1386
01:11:34,103 --> 01:11:35,535
And appliance salesman?
1387
01:11:37,831 --> 01:11:39,769
What did you say?
1388
01:11:39,905 --> 01:11:42,303
Listen, Jerry,
I don't need you to question me
1389
01:11:42,439 --> 01:11:45,506
about how I support my family
and every goddamn person here.
1390
01:11:45,641 --> 01:11:47,174
You understand me?
1391
01:11:47,310 --> 01:11:49,043
If you don't like it,
you can go back to Memphis.
1392
01:11:51,351 --> 01:11:52,915
Laugh it up, assholes.
1393
01:12:05,031 --> 01:12:07,226
[male voice singing "Here Comes
Santa Claus" on tape]
1394
01:12:09,198 --> 01:12:10,670
[man] What
a beautiful rendition
1395
01:12:10,805 --> 01:12:13,037
of "Here Comes Santa Claus"
that was,
1396
01:12:13,172 --> 01:12:16,478
with all the sparkle and magic
that the season brings.
1397
01:12:16,613 --> 01:12:18,513
And you'll be even warmer
this season
1398
01:12:18,648 --> 01:12:21,080
in a 12 gauge
cable-knit woolen sweater...
1399
01:12:21,215 --> 01:12:23,414
-Satnin?
-Hi.
1400
01:12:23,550 --> 01:12:25,580
...made right at home
on the Singer Sewer
SK155 home knitter.
1401
01:12:25,715 --> 01:12:28,218
And now, here's Elvis!
1402
01:12:28,353 --> 01:12:29,388
[stops tape]
1403
01:12:29,523 --> 01:12:32,150
[Mahalia Jackson
singing on TV]
1404
01:12:32,285 --> 01:12:34,224
Can I watch the memorial
with you?
1405
01:12:34,359 --> 01:12:35,694
Yeah, baby.
1406
01:12:43,131 --> 01:12:46,206
I'm so tired of playing
Elvis Presley.
1407
01:12:46,341 --> 01:12:48,701
Too many people rely on me.
1408
01:12:48,836 --> 01:12:50,709
[Priscilla sighs]
1409
01:12:52,080 --> 01:12:53,708
I love you.
1410
01:12:53,843 --> 01:12:55,615
And your daughter loves you.
1411
01:12:58,281 --> 01:13:00,385
We don't care about the money
or anything else.
1412
01:13:00,521 --> 01:13:02,214
We just want you to be happy.
1413
01:13:02,349 --> 01:13:04,058
[Jackson singing]
Lord, hold my hand
1414
01:13:04,194 --> 01:13:05,892
And don't let me fall
1415
01:13:06,027 --> 01:13:09,458
You're only really happy when
you sing the music you love.
1416
01:13:09,593 --> 01:13:13,495
[Jackson] Oh
1417
01:13:13,630 --> 01:13:16,894
Take my hand
1418
01:13:17,030 --> 01:13:19,803
[Elvis] Mahalia Jackson.
1419
01:13:19,939 --> 01:13:22,610
I used to hear her sing
at East Street Church.
1420
01:13:22,745 --> 01:13:25,973
[Jackson singing]
Got a feelin' in my body
1421
01:13:26,109 --> 01:13:28,105
That's the music
that makes me happy.
1422
01:13:28,241 --> 01:13:33,719
This will be our lucky day
1423
01:13:33,855 --> 01:13:38,316
So when things are too
dangerous to say... sing!
1424
01:13:38,452 --> 01:13:40,286
["I Got A Feeling In My Body"
playing]
1425
01:13:43,800 --> 01:13:48,837
When Moses walked the children
out of Egypt land
1426
01:13:48,972 --> 01:13:53,339
He said "Now don't you worry
we're in the lord's hands"
1427
01:13:53,475 --> 01:13:57,310
I got a feelin' in my body
1428
01:13:57,446 --> 01:14:00,515
This will be our lucky day
1429
01:14:04,017 --> 01:14:07,981
We'll be released
from all our sorrow
1430
01:14:08,116 --> 01:14:11,218
Leave it layin' along the way
1431
01:14:19,497 --> 01:14:22,362
[Jerry] You gotta meet these
Binder and Bones guys, E.P.
1432
01:14:22,497 --> 01:14:23,667
They're the ones
that put James Brown,
1433
01:14:23,802 --> 01:14:26,300
the Rolling Stones onstage.
1434
01:14:26,435 --> 01:14:28,102
They're doing some
cutting edge stuff.
1435
01:14:28,238 --> 01:14:32,371
Mr. Binder, Mr. Howe...
thanks for coming.
1436
01:14:33,913 --> 01:14:35,880
[helicopter whirring
in distance]
1437
01:14:48,690 --> 01:14:50,889
[Elvis] When I first came
to Hollywood, I'd come up here
1438
01:14:51,024 --> 01:14:53,258
and sit for hours.
1439
01:14:53,394 --> 01:14:55,064
Right over there,
the observatory...
1440
01:14:55,200 --> 01:14:57,905
that's where they shot
Rebel Without a Cause.
1441
01:14:58,041 --> 01:15:03,002
Man, I used to dream of being
a great actor like Jimmy Dean.
1442
01:15:03,138 --> 01:15:05,206
This sign was beautiful then.
1443
01:15:07,479 --> 01:15:09,344
And now...
1444
01:15:09,480 --> 01:15:12,350
Feels as though lots of things
are like that these days.
1445
01:15:12,486 --> 01:15:15,414
Broke down, beat up.
1446
01:15:16,256 --> 01:15:17,251
Rotten.
1447
01:15:19,420 --> 01:15:21,354
I really like
what you guys did,
1448
01:15:21,489 --> 01:15:23,926
putting James Brown
and the Stones together.
1449
01:15:24,062 --> 01:15:27,493
We're, uh...
big fans of yours, too.
1450
01:15:27,628 --> 01:15:30,037
It's just that, Mr. Presley,
we don't usually--
1451
01:15:30,172 --> 01:15:31,434
Oh, Elvis.
1452
01:15:31,569 --> 01:15:33,003
Elvis, uh...
1453
01:15:34,634 --> 01:15:37,273
Christmas specials
aren't really our thing.
1454
01:15:37,409 --> 01:15:38,613
I know.
1455
01:15:40,514 --> 01:15:42,783
Tell me, honestly...
1456
01:15:42,918 --> 01:15:45,279
where do you boys
think my career's at right now?
1457
01:15:47,223 --> 01:15:48,915
Well, it's...
1458
01:15:49,051 --> 01:15:51,758
It's in the toilet, Elvis.
1459
01:15:53,789 --> 01:15:56,290
[both laughing]
1460
01:15:57,399 --> 01:15:59,933
You hear that, Jerry?
1461
01:16:00,069 --> 01:16:03,264
Oh, Lord. I knew you were
the right guys for this job.
1462
01:16:03,399 --> 01:16:05,738
You know,
back when I was starting out,
1463
01:16:05,873 --> 01:16:08,269
some people wanted
to put me in jail,
1464
01:16:08,404 --> 01:16:11,569
even kill me,
'cause of the way I was moving.
1465
01:16:13,778 --> 01:16:15,342
So they cut my hair,
1466
01:16:15,478 --> 01:16:18,345
they put me in uniform
and they sent me away.
1467
01:16:21,324 --> 01:16:22,987
That killed my mother.
1468
01:16:26,186 --> 01:16:27,959
And ever since then...
1469
01:16:29,759 --> 01:16:30,995
I've been lost.
1470
01:16:33,430 --> 01:16:36,165
And when you're lost,
people take advantage.
1471
01:16:39,405 --> 01:16:42,600
I need you fellas to help me
get back to who I really am.
1472
01:16:43,874 --> 01:16:45,108
And who are you, Elvis?
1473
01:16:47,809 --> 01:16:49,845
I sure as hell ain't somebody
who sings Christmas songs
1474
01:16:49,980 --> 01:16:52,785
by a fireplace for an hour.
1475
01:16:52,920 --> 01:16:55,382
[Steve] And what
does the Colonel think?
1476
01:16:55,517 --> 01:16:57,791
I don't give a damn
what the Colonel thinks.
1477
01:16:58,591 --> 01:16:59,892
[rock clattering]
1478
01:17:13,006 --> 01:17:14,667
[Parker]
For this television special,
1479
01:17:14,803 --> 01:17:17,473
we've got this Bindle fella,
number one hotshot director.
1480
01:17:17,608 --> 01:17:20,378
Elvis will be humoring him by
doing a few of his fresh ideas.
1481
01:17:20,513 --> 01:17:22,077
Ah, the sweater!
1482
01:17:22,213 --> 01:17:24,809
To Mr. Presley's
dressing room, please.
1483
01:17:24,945 --> 01:17:28,314
We are going to sing three
spectacular Christmas songs
1484
01:17:28,450 --> 01:17:30,516
-in that very sweater.
-[applause]
1485
01:17:32,455 --> 01:17:35,486
Now, when that sign lights up,
what do you do?
1486
01:17:35,621 --> 01:17:37,061
-Applause.
-[crowd applauding]
1487
01:17:40,970 --> 01:17:43,329
"Silent is the Night"
and "Deck the Halls,"
1488
01:17:43,465 --> 01:17:46,807
and, uh...
"Whose Child Is This?"
1489
01:17:46,943 --> 01:17:48,841
[Elvis] You think
we can do some gospel?
1490
01:17:48,976 --> 01:17:50,510
Well, if you want
to find yourself,
1491
01:17:50,646 --> 01:17:52,243
first thing you do is go home.
1492
01:17:52,379 --> 01:17:55,778
Metaphorically, you know.
Get back to who you really are.
1493
01:17:55,914 --> 01:17:57,878
And what is the boy that--
1494
01:17:58,013 --> 01:17:59,551
-Oh, "The Little Drummer Boy"?
-Yes, "The Little
Drumming Boy."
1495
01:17:59,686 --> 01:18:01,251
Oh, the... with the...
1496
01:18:01,386 --> 01:18:03,287
[Bones] We get your old band
back together.
1497
01:18:03,423 --> 01:18:07,186
But we are going to start with
"Here Comes Santa Claus,"
1498
01:18:07,322 --> 01:18:09,094
isn't that right, Mr. Bindle?
1499
01:18:09,229 --> 01:18:10,628
Uh, the Christmas specials
come later in the show.
1500
01:18:10,763 --> 01:18:12,130
Can you bring up two?
1501
01:18:12,265 --> 01:18:14,201
[Steve] A leather jacket.
Raw, dirty.
1502
01:18:14,336 --> 01:18:17,363
Remember, ladies and gentlemen,
this is television, not radio,
1503
01:18:17,499 --> 01:18:18,969
so when that goes up
and you clap,
1504
01:18:19,105 --> 01:18:20,230
let's see it
on your faces as well.
1505
01:18:20,366 --> 01:18:21,699
[enthusiastic applause]
1506
01:18:21,834 --> 01:18:23,036
[Steve] But you need
an audience.
1507
01:18:23,171 --> 01:18:24,736
[Elvis] Audience?
1508
01:18:24,871 --> 01:18:26,674
-Bring it over to one.
-[Bones] At any second now,
1509
01:18:26,809 --> 01:18:28,677
Elvis is gonna walk onto this
stage and perform just for you.
1510
01:18:28,812 --> 01:18:30,879
[Elvis] I ain't sang in front
of an audience in a long time.
1511
01:18:31,015 --> 01:18:32,413
[Steve] That's my point.
1512
01:18:32,549 --> 01:18:35,553
Ladies and gentlemen,
here's Elvis Presley!
1513
01:18:35,689 --> 01:18:37,253
[applause, cheering]
1514
01:19:13,586 --> 01:19:16,259
Well, since my baby left me
1515
01:19:16,394 --> 01:19:18,922
Well, I found a new place
To dwell
1516
01:19:19,058 --> 01:19:20,962
Well, it's down at the end
Of Lonely Street
1517
01:19:21,098 --> 01:19:23,431
At Heartbreak Hotel
1518
01:19:23,566 --> 01:19:27,034
Where I'll be
I'll be so lonely, baby
1519
01:19:27,169 --> 01:19:29,469
I'll be so lonely
1520
01:19:29,605 --> 01:19:33,442
I'll be so lonely
I could die
1521
01:19:33,577 --> 01:19:36,642
Well, the bellhop's tears
Keep flowin'
1522
01:19:36,778 --> 01:19:39,316
And the desk clerk's
Dressed in black
1523
01:19:39,452 --> 01:19:41,813
Well, they've been so long
On Lonely Street
1524
01:19:41,948 --> 01:19:45,592
Well, they'll never
They'll never look back
1525
01:19:45,728 --> 01:19:47,758
They'll be so lonely, baby
1526
01:19:47,894 --> 01:19:50,358
They'll be so lonely
1527
01:19:50,494 --> 01:19:52,763
They'll be so lonely
They could die
1528
01:19:52,898 --> 01:19:54,968
[band picks up tempo]
1529
01:19:56,166 --> 01:19:59,533
Well, that was... energetic.
1530
01:20:01,703 --> 01:20:04,335
You ain't nothin'
But a hound dog
1531
01:20:04,471 --> 01:20:06,407
Snoopin' at my door
1532
01:20:06,543 --> 01:20:09,043
You ain't nothin'
But a hound dog
1533
01:20:09,179 --> 01:20:11,710
Cryin' all the time
1534
01:20:11,845 --> 01:20:13,478
Well, you ain't never
Caught a rabbit
1535
01:20:13,613 --> 01:20:16,220
You ain't no friend of mine
1536
01:20:16,952 --> 01:20:17,925
Come on!
1537
01:20:19,362 --> 01:20:21,355
Colonel...
1538
01:20:21,491 --> 01:20:23,561
Is "Here Comes
Santa Claus" next?
1539
01:20:23,696 --> 01:20:25,256
Absolutely.
1540
01:20:25,392 --> 01:20:27,893
I see no reason why not.
1541
01:20:28,029 --> 01:20:31,633
He's not in the swe-- he's not
even wearing the sweater.
1542
01:20:31,768 --> 01:20:34,733
Well, it's one for the money
Two for the show
1543
01:20:34,868 --> 01:20:36,835
Three to get ready
Now go, cat, go
1544
01:20:36,971 --> 01:20:41,342
But don't you
Step on my blue suede shoes
1545
01:20:41,478 --> 01:20:43,549
I do not know
what is going on.
1546
01:20:43,685 --> 01:20:44,984
Singing "Hound Dog"?
1547
01:20:45,120 --> 01:20:46,921
What does that have to do
with Christmas?
1548
01:20:47,056 --> 01:20:49,517
Blue, blue, blue suede shoes

01:28:54,308 --> 01:28:56,405
even its common decency.
1721
01:28:56,541 --> 01:28:58,172
200 million Americans
1722
01:28:58,308 --> 01:29:01,509
did not strike down
Robert Kennedy last night,
1723
01:29:01,645 --> 01:29:03,010
any more than they struck down
1724
01:29:03,145 --> 01:29:07,148
President John F. Kennedy
in 1963,
1725
01:29:07,283 --> 01:29:10,518
or Dr. Martin Luther King
in April of this year.
1726
01:29:10,654 --> 01:29:13,053
My fellow citizens, we cannot,
1727
01:29:13,188 --> 01:29:15,656
we just must not tolerate
the sway
1728
01:29:15,791 --> 01:29:17,895
of violent men among us.
1729
01:29:18,031 --> 01:29:21,864
We must not permit men
that are filled with hate--
1730
01:29:22,863 --> 01:29:25,434
[flicking switches]
1731
01:29:25,569 --> 01:29:28,233
[piano notes playing]
1732
01:29:30,908 --> 01:29:35,207
[Elvis singing]
Here comes Santa Claus
1733
01:29:38,285 --> 01:29:42,984
Here comes Santa Claus
1734
01:29:44,359 --> 01:29:48,660
Right down Santa Claus...
1735
01:29:56,199 --> 01:29:59,472
We're pretty set for the number
tomorrow, right, E.P.?
1736
01:29:59,608 --> 01:30:02,542
It's pretty familiar territory,
right?
1737
01:30:04,939 --> 01:30:07,107
A reverend once told me...
1738
01:30:09,244 --> 01:30:12,112
"When things are too dangerous
to say...
1739
01:30:14,780 --> 01:30:16,457
sing."
1740
01:30:33,641 --> 01:30:36,103
[piano playing
"If I Can Dream" melody]
1741
01:30:39,643 --> 01:30:45,343
[singing]
There must be lights
Burning brighter somewhere
1742
01:30:46,852 --> 01:30:51,157
Got to be birds
flying higher
1743
01:30:51,292 --> 01:30:54,754
In a sky more blue
1744
01:30:54,889 --> 01:30:56,862
[orchestra joining in]
1745
01:30:56,998 --> 01:30:59,332
[stage manager] Standing by.
We're seconds away, folks.
1746
01:30:59,467 --> 01:31:00,964
We're just waiting on upstairs.
1747
01:31:01,099 --> 01:31:03,493
We're gonna get a rehearsal
going very shortly.
1748
01:31:03,629 --> 01:31:06,271
Let's go, let's go, people!
First positions!
1749
01:31:06,407 --> 01:31:07,938
Here we go, from the top.
1750
01:31:08,074 --> 01:31:11,202
Mrs. Presley is quite
the homemaker, Priscilla is,
1751
01:31:11,338 --> 01:31:12,779
and I'm sure
she would love to have
1752
01:31:12,914 --> 01:31:16,044
one of the SK551 machines
so she can knit Elvis's--
1753
01:31:16,179 --> 01:31:18,345
-They were in there all night.
-Doing what?
1754
01:31:18,480 --> 01:31:20,383
He's working on a new song.
He says he's singing it.
1755
01:31:20,519 --> 01:31:22,150
New song? Whoa, hey!
1756
01:31:22,285 --> 01:31:24,719
It's beginning to look
a lot like Christmas. Yes!
1757
01:31:24,854 --> 01:31:26,692
Gentlemen, take your seats.
1758
01:31:29,323 --> 01:31:32,064
Now, that's
a winter wonderland.
1759
01:31:32,199 --> 01:31:33,732
Mr. Bindle.
1760
01:31:33,867 --> 01:31:38,900
You and I are
on the same page at last.
1761
01:31:39,036 --> 01:31:40,767
Bring up the lights
on the sign.
1762
01:31:40,902 --> 01:31:43,402
Okay, yeah. Let's go.
1763
01:31:43,538 --> 01:31:45,942
[stage manager] Dancers, stop.
Dancers, stop. Stop!
1764
01:31:46,908 --> 01:31:49,673
Turn about. Turn about.
1765
01:31:49,809 --> 01:31:51,708
You've got to get some roll.
I got action on the right side.
1766
01:31:51,843 --> 01:31:54,280
Turn around. Come on,
through, through, through!
1767
01:31:57,689 --> 01:32:00,022
We're lost in a cloud
1768
01:32:01,395 --> 01:32:03,894
With too much rain
1769
01:32:05,290 --> 01:32:07,733
We're trapped in a world
1770
01:32:09,064 --> 01:32:12,839
That's troubled with pain
1771
01:32:12,975 --> 01:32:18,907
But as long as a man
Has the strength to dream
1772
01:32:19,043 --> 01:32:25,916
He can redeem
his soul and fly
1773
01:32:30,387 --> 01:32:37,928
Deep in my heart
There's a trembling question
1774
01:32:38,063 --> 01:32:41,963
Still, I am sure
That the answer's
1775
01:32:42,099 --> 01:32:45,502
Answer's gonna come
somehow
1776
01:32:45,638 --> 01:32:49,170
Out there in the dark
1777
01:32:49,305 --> 01:32:53,439
There's a beckoning candle,
yeah
1778
01:32:53,574 --> 01:32:57,178
And while I can think
While I can talk
1779
01:32:57,313 --> 01:33:01,287
While I can stand
While I can walk
1780
01:33:01,422 --> 01:33:04,917
While I can dream
1781
01:33:05,053 --> 01:33:09,085
Oh, please let my dream
1782
01:33:09,220 --> 01:33:12,798
Come true, oh
1783
01:33:16,568 --> 01:33:20,230
Right now
1784
01:33:20,366 --> 01:33:22,907
Let it come true right now
1785
01:33:29,217 --> 01:33:31,784
[song ends]
1786
01:33:34,145 --> 01:33:35,480
[faint applause]
1787
01:33:35,615 --> 01:33:37,517
[Elvis on monitor]
Thank you. Good night.
1788
01:33:37,652 --> 01:33:40,018
[Parker] I was always said,
when it came to music,
1789
01:33:40,153 --> 01:33:41,885
my boy knows best.
1790
01:33:42,021 --> 01:33:46,623
But the special was my idea.
It was a tremendous hit.
1791
01:33:47,667 --> 01:33:49,331
We was back on top.
1792
01:33:49,467 --> 01:33:53,164
But some people were
putting ideas into his head
1793
01:33:53,299 --> 01:33:56,972
that he didn't need me no more.
1794
01:33:57,107 --> 01:33:59,636
["Any Day Now"
by Presley playing]
1795
01:34:02,648 --> 01:34:03,816
[Priscilla] Whoo-hoo!
1796
01:34:05,276 --> 01:34:06,510
It's working.
1797
01:34:06,645 --> 01:34:07,984
[Jerry] London, Germany,
Japan...
1798
01:34:08,119 --> 01:34:09,519
Hulett here has got it
all lined up.
1799
01:34:09,655 --> 01:34:11,452
Air Presley's new wings.
1800
01:34:11,588 --> 01:34:13,518
[Hulett] You know, when you
play stadiums, it's like...
1801
01:34:13,653 --> 01:34:15,454
you do a week of shows
in just one night.
1802
01:34:15,589 --> 01:34:17,896
And when it's done,
you get on the plane...
1803
01:34:18,031 --> 01:34:20,031
You go where you want,
you play where you want,
1804
01:34:20,166 --> 01:34:22,559
and if they don't like it,
you go someplace else.
1805
01:34:22,694 --> 01:34:24,570
You know who told me that?
B.B. King.
1806
01:34:24,705 --> 01:34:26,502
[Hulett]
Well, B.B. knows, man.
1807
01:34:26,637 --> 01:34:28,735
And the someplace else
you should be going
is overseas.
1808
01:34:28,870 --> 01:34:30,504
I like that.
1809
01:34:30,640 --> 01:34:32,575
You know, I heard last year
alone, you had two offers.
1810
01:34:32,710 --> 01:34:34,108
Germany and Japan,
1811
01:34:34,243 --> 01:34:37,113
for a million bucks
for one night.
1812
01:34:37,248 --> 01:34:39,384
I mean, why the Colonel
would turn that down,
1813
01:34:39,520 --> 01:34:41,019
I have no idea, man.
1814
01:34:41,154 --> 01:34:43,452
Well, if you figure it out,
can you let us know?
1815
01:34:43,587 --> 01:34:45,024
Yeah.
1816
01:34:45,159 --> 01:34:45,918
[Hulett] Well, screw him.
You've got the plane now.
1817
01:34:46,053 --> 01:34:47,427
You should use it.
1818
01:34:47,562 --> 01:34:49,454
[Elvis] Yeah, come to Daddy.
1819
01:34:49,590 --> 01:34:51,564
Maybe we should call it
the "Lisa Marie."
1820
01:34:51,699 --> 01:34:52,859
[Jerry]
That's a beautiful name.
1821
01:34:52,994 --> 01:34:54,064
[Priscilla] Right?
1822
01:34:56,504 --> 01:34:59,729
[Parker] Hit me. Hit me.
1823
01:34:59,864 --> 01:35:04,233
Mr. Parker, Mr. Kohn
would like to see you.
1824
01:35:04,369 --> 01:35:06,703
Colonel Parker. Hit me.
1825
01:35:08,846 --> 01:35:10,850
[dealer] I can't, sorry.
1826
01:35:13,913 --> 01:35:16,383
[Kohn] You've run up
quite a tab, Colonel.
1827
01:35:16,518 --> 01:35:19,760
And we hear your boy's working
with new people.
1828
01:35:20,860 --> 01:35:23,527
You've lost your meal ticket.
1829
01:35:23,663 --> 01:35:25,895
It's time to settle up,
1830
01:35:26,031 --> 01:35:28,432
before we have
to make things...
1831
01:35:28,568 --> 01:35:30,597
Uncomfortable.
1832
01:35:30,732 --> 01:35:33,703
Well, before the army, we found
no record of you at all.
1833
01:35:33,839 --> 01:35:36,501
No passport, no residency.
1834
01:35:36,637 --> 01:35:39,478
You were never a colonel.
Never a Tom.
1835
01:35:39,614 --> 01:35:41,342
You weren't even a Parker.
1836
01:35:41,478 --> 01:35:46,985
Why did you flee Holland,
Andreas van Kuijk?

-[brushing teeth]
-[Priscilla] I don't know why
1838
01:35:52,654 --> 01:35:54,321
you can't just let
the lawyers take care of it.
1839
01:35:54,456 --> 01:35:56,094
[Elvis] I have to see him
in Vegas.
1840
01:35:56,230 --> 01:35:58,424
He's in the hospital.
It's the right thing to do.
1841
01:35:58,559 --> 01:35:59,799
-Yeah, well...
-He's frail right now.
1842
01:35:59,934 --> 01:36:01,128
-You know what he's like, baby.
-[slaps]
1843
01:36:01,264 --> 01:36:03,267
-Hey! Watch it.
-[chatter on TV]
1844
01:36:03,402 --> 01:36:05,138
You know what he's like.
The second that
you're near him,
1845
01:36:05,274 --> 01:36:07,567
you'll be under ten feet
of snow before you know
what's happened.
1846
01:36:07,702 --> 01:36:10,673
[spits] My mind's made up.
Business is business.
1847
01:36:10,808 --> 01:36:12,142
He and I are done.
1848
01:36:12,277 --> 01:36:14,112
But I owe it to him
to tell him to his face.
1849
01:36:14,247 --> 01:36:17,614
Well, just make sure he
doesn't clip your wings, honey.
1850
01:36:17,749 --> 01:36:19,444
[spits] He won't!
1851
01:36:19,580 --> 01:36:22,187
I am gonna go
see him in Vegas.
1852
01:36:22,323 --> 01:36:26,918
I'm gonna look him in the eyes,
and I'm gonna tell him...
1853
01:36:27,053 --> 01:36:28,957
-[Priscilla] Watch my hair.
-[Elvis] I'm gonna tell him...

01:36:29,092 --> 01:36:30,428

-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--

01:37:22,810 --> 01:37:26,518
My heart just stopped is all,

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

01:37:35,697 --> 01:37:37,029
I should never have worried,

because you came through
like you always do.

our separate ways.
1889
01:38:04,354 --> 01:38:06,784
[slot machines
clattering faintly]
1890
01:38:07,926 --> 01:38:09,928
Well, you may be right.
1891
01:38:10,063 --> 01:38:12,591
Maybe it is time for me
to retire.
1892
01:38:12,727 --> 01:38:14,632
Oh, come on, Colonel,
quit snowin' me.
1893
01:38:14,768 --> 01:38:16,197
You ain't retiring.
1894
01:38:16,332 --> 01:38:20,435
I will miss the circus. I will.
1895
01:38:20,570 --> 01:38:22,806
But I cannot keep up
with these young fellas,
1896
01:38:22,941 --> 01:38:24,537
like your Mr. Hulett,
1897
01:38:24,672 --> 01:38:27,437
who wants to put together
a new show
1898
01:38:27,573 --> 01:38:30,143
for an international tour,
1899
01:38:30,279 --> 01:38:32,713
for you to play stadiums.
1900
01:38:32,848 --> 01:38:38,156
These international tours
are very, very expensive.
1901
01:38:38,292 --> 01:38:41,761
And the costs
cut into the artist's profits.
1902
01:38:41,896 --> 01:38:43,830
I worry that the financial risk
1903
01:38:43,966 --> 01:38:46,765
would put a strain
on your daddy.
1904
01:38:46,900 --> 01:38:48,460
But I cannot help but think,
1905
01:38:48,596 --> 01:38:50,430
as your former
technical advisor
1906
01:38:50,566 --> 01:38:53,668
and as an old friend,
what if...
1907
01:38:53,804 --> 01:38:58,506
the next Elvis Presley show
did not cost you a red cent?
1908
01:39:01,449 --> 01:39:06,514
I wonder if your daddy would
not like the sound of that.
1909
01:39:08,023 --> 01:39:11,321
The brand-new
International Hotel.
1910
01:39:30,979 --> 01:39:33,602
[whistles]
It's a mighty big stage.
1911
01:39:33,738 --> 01:39:35,675
The biggest in Las Vegas.
1912
01:39:35,810 --> 01:39:37,875
You could get lost
in a place like this.
1913
01:39:38,011 --> 01:39:40,777
My boy, you performed
that comeback special
1914
01:39:40,913 --> 01:39:43,722
on a tiny square,
inside a studio,
1915
01:39:43,857 --> 01:39:45,514
and the fans loved it.
1916
01:39:45,650 --> 01:39:47,160
In a room this size,
1917
01:39:47,295 --> 01:39:51,854
you could give them
the greatest show on earth.
1918
01:39:51,990 --> 01:39:55,595
Nothing less
than Elvis Presley.
1919
01:39:55,731 --> 01:39:58,670
I've been experimenting
with a new, big sound.
1920
01:39:58,806 --> 01:40:00,072
Good. Good, my boy.
1921
01:40:00,208 --> 01:40:02,241
Because you can fill up
this entire stage
1922
01:40:02,376 --> 01:40:05,001
with every musical idea
that is inside that head.
1923
01:40:06,208 --> 01:40:07,575
No, it would cost.
1924
01:40:07,710 --> 01:40:10,083
[laughing]
Yes, that's the beauty of it.
1925
01:40:10,218 --> 01:40:12,017
You see, this here
International Hotel--
1926
01:40:12,153 --> 01:40:14,417
-[voices chattering]
-[door shuts]
1927
01:40:18,292 --> 01:40:19,888
[quietly]
This International Hotel...
1928
01:40:20,023 --> 01:40:20,991
[Elvis] Mmm-hmm.
1929
01:40:21,127 --> 01:40:23,822
...needs a major drawing card
1930
01:40:23,957 --> 01:40:27,659
to pull in all the rubes
and put it on the map.
1931
01:40:27,794 --> 01:40:30,429
So they will cover
all of the costs
1932
01:40:30,565 --> 01:40:32,599
of putting together your show.
1933
01:40:32,734 --> 01:40:34,398
And you just play here
for six weeks,
1934
01:40:34,534 --> 01:40:36,334
and then off you go,
1935
01:40:36,470 --> 01:40:39,168
to tour around the world
1936
01:40:39,303 --> 01:40:43,108
with no financial risk
to Elvis Presley Enterprises.
1937
01:40:43,243 --> 01:40:44,513
None.
1938
01:40:49,284 --> 01:40:51,289
Well, goddamn.
1939
01:40:54,288 --> 01:40:55,887
[both chuckling]
1940
01:40:57,958 --> 01:41:00,793
-Snowman strikes again.
-[laughing] Oh, yeah.
1941
01:41:00,928 --> 01:41:05,067
We're going to make it snow.
It will snow.
1942
01:41:05,203 --> 01:41:07,432
[Elvis] First of all,
we're gonna need
the Sweet Inspirations.
1943
01:41:07,568 --> 01:41:09,765
[singing] Yeah, yeah
1944
01:41:09,901 --> 01:41:11,809
[Elvis] And the Imperials.
1945
01:41:11,944 --> 01:41:14,112
[singing] We're caught
in a trap
I can't walk out
1946
01:41:14,248 --> 01:41:16,177
[Elvis]
And a 30-piece orchestra.
1947
01:41:16,312 --> 01:41:19,779
[musicians warming up]
1948
01:41:23,924 --> 01:41:26,451
[Elvis] You know,
the first thing
that I ever recorded,
1949
01:41:26,587 --> 01:41:28,052
the very first thing,
1950
01:41:28,187 --> 01:41:31,055
was an old, uh, rhythm
and blues-type song
1951
01:41:31,190 --> 01:41:33,290
called "That's All Right,
Little Mama."
1952
01:41:33,425 --> 01:41:35,828
-[instruments continue playing]
-And back then we only had
1953
01:41:35,964 --> 01:41:39,072
two or three instruments
at the time.
1954
01:41:39,207 --> 01:41:41,097
But this ain't
no nostalgia show.
1955
01:41:41,232 --> 01:41:43,105
We're gonna do something
different.
1956
01:41:43,241 --> 01:41:44,804
[instruments stop playing]
1957
01:41:47,214 --> 01:41:51,482
I, uh...
I wanna try something new.
1958
01:41:51,618 --> 01:41:55,182
All right, Glen, you're gonna
start us off, okay?
1959
01:41:55,318 --> 01:41:56,552
Take the intro here.
1960
01:41:57,418 --> 01:42:00,684
[scatting softly]
1961
01:42:00,819 --> 01:42:03,328
[Glen playing lively rhythm]
1962
01:42:07,463 --> 01:42:09,565
[piano continues playing]
1963
01:42:13,835 --> 01:42:15,406
All right, bring that
bass up, Jerry.
1964
01:42:15,541 --> 01:42:18,134
-[bass thrumming]
-[drums accompanying]
1965
01:42:19,814 --> 01:42:20,972
Keep playing.
1966
01:42:23,346 --> 01:42:24,683
[band member] Whoo!
1967
01:42:24,818 --> 01:42:27,550

[The Imperials]
That's all right
1972
01:42:32,991 --> 01:42:33,826
[Elvis] With me.
1973
01:42:33,962 --> 01:42:35,519
[all] Any way you do
1974
01:42:35,654 --> 01:42:36,493
[Elvis] All right.
1975
01:42:41,630 --> 01:42:43,168
[Elvis] James, you ready?
1976

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

Flames, man!
1978
01:42:53,139 --> 01:42:55,077
Flames are coming
out of that guitar.
1979
01:42:55,213 --> 01:42:57,883
I got that. Ronnie.
1980
01:42:58,018 --> 01:42:59,109
I'll get back to that.
1981
01:42:59,887 --> 01:43:02,679
Horns, you ready?
1982

Let's up the octave!

in higher range]

-[musicians cheering]
-Yeah! Goddamn!

[Elvis] Ronnie,
you know what to do, man.
1991
01:43:27,744 --> 01:43:29,772
Do it to me, come on.
Take us home.

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

01:46:12,509 --> 01:46:13,906
I tell ya, if I was you,
2032
01:46:14,042 --> 01:46:16,207
I would book him
for a hundred years.
2033
01:46:17,618 --> 01:46:20,586
Well, no better time
than the present.
2034
01:46:20,721 --> 01:46:23,914
But we hear Hulett has him
doing a world tour.
2035
01:46:24,050 --> 01:46:25,590
[Elvis speaking indistinctly]
2036
01:46:25,725 --> 01:46:28,727
Well, well, well, uh,
I think Mr. Presley
2037
01:46:28,863 --> 01:46:32,430
could be persuaded to make
the International his home,
2038
01:46:32,566 --> 01:46:36,068
provided he was paid
pretty well.
2039
01:46:36,204 --> 01:46:37,868
What did you have in mind?
2040
01:46:38,004 --> 01:46:40,100
I'd like to introduce to you
a couple of people tonight,
2041
01:46:40,235 --> 01:46:42,866
one of which being
my beautiful wife, Priscilla.

[applause, whistling]
2043
01:46:44,773 --> 01:46:46,238
Would you stand up, honey?
2044
01:46:46,373 --> 01:46:49,947
For an attraction as tremendous
as Mr. Presley...
2045
01:46:50,082 --> 01:46:53,752
-[woman] We love you,
Priscilla!
-[Elvis chuckles]
2046
01:46:53,888 --> 01:46:57,248
Also, this man over here,
I wouldn't be here without,
2047
01:46:57,383 --> 01:47:00,556
my manager of many years,
Colonel Sanders.
2048
01:47:00,691 --> 01:47:04,321
-Parker. Parker.
-[laughter]
2049
01:47:04,457 --> 01:47:06,529
Well, we're gonna do a new song
for you tonight.
2050
01:47:06,664 --> 01:47:08,792
It's called "Suspicious Minds."
2051
01:47:08,928 --> 01:47:10,135
"Suspicious Minds."
2052
01:47:10,270 --> 01:47:12,802
[guitar playing intro]
2053
01:47:14,604 --> 01:47:16,432
We're caught in a trap
2054
01:47:18,179 --> 01:47:20,271
I can't walk out
2055
01:47:21,813 --> 01:47:27,311
Because I love you
Too much, baby
2056
01:47:29,586 --> 01:47:31,180
Why can't you see
2057
01:47:31,315 --> 01:47:35,354
Oh, what you're doin' to me
2058
01:47:35,489 --> 01:47:41,457
Oh, when you don't believe
A word I'm sayin'?
2059
01:47:44,267 --> 01:47:50,672
We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
2060
01:47:50,807 --> 01:47:53,805
And we can't build our dreams
2061
01:47:53,941 --> 01:47:57,707
On suspicious minds
2062
01:47:57,842 --> 01:48:01,384
So, if an old friend I know
Shove it up your nose
2063
01:48:01,520 --> 01:48:03,583
Stops by to say hello
2064
01:48:03,719 --> 01:48:05,350
[laughter, applause]
2065
01:48:05,486 --> 01:48:12,596
Would I still see suspicion
in your eyes?
2066
01:48:12,732 --> 01:48:16,030
That is what my boy
would expect.
2067
01:48:18,028 --> 01:48:20,701
Now... [laughs]
2068
01:48:20,837 --> 01:48:23,272
What are you going to pay me?
2069
01:48:23,407 --> 01:48:26,040
[both laughing]
2070
01:48:28,481 --> 01:48:32,451
Oh, let our love survive
2071
01:48:32,587 --> 01:48:37,515
Colonel, your sideshow
is the jackpot.
2072
01:48:37,651 --> 01:48:39,053
[laughs]
2073
01:48:39,188 --> 01:48:41,590
[Kohn] If you bring him back
every year,
2074
01:48:41,726 --> 01:48:44,153
I'll make it worth your while.
2075
01:48:44,289 --> 01:48:46,566
[Elvis] Oh, I've never...
2076
01:48:49,027 --> 01:48:51,571
Lied to you
2077
01:48:52,801 --> 01:48:54,167
Caught in a trap
2078
01:48:55,870 --> 01:48:58,672
I can't walk out
2079
01:48:58,807 --> 01:49:00,404
...good thing die
2080
01:49:03,245 --> 01:49:06,910
Yeah, yeah
Now, don't you know
2081
01:49:07,046 --> 01:49:08,053
Caught in a trap
2082
01:49:08,188 --> 01:49:09,083
[cheering]
2083
01:49:10,258 --> 01:49:11,921
I can't walk out
2084
01:49:13,527 --> 01:49:16,596
Because I love you too much
2085
01:49:20,460 --> 01:49:25,066
Caught in a trap
I can't walk out
2086
01:49:26,540 --> 01:49:29,301
Because I love you too much
2087
01:49:33,407 --> 01:49:38,079
Caught in a trap
I can't walk out
2088
01:49:39,520 --> 01:49:42,281
Because I love you too much
2089
01:49:46,387 --> 01:49:50,586
Caught in a trap
I can't walk out
2090
01:49:52,359 --> 01:49:57,494
Because I love you
Too much, baby
2091
01:49:57,629 --> 01:50:00,596
Oh, don't you know
Caught in a trap
2092
01:50:02,769 --> 01:50:06,068
Of course, I will reserve
the right to sell calendars,
2093
01:50:06,203 --> 01:50:07,343
pictures and such?
2094
01:50:07,478 --> 01:50:10,474
[music subsides]
2095
01:50:10,609 --> 01:50:12,509
[Kohn] You do whatever
you want, Colonel,
2096
01:50:12,644 --> 01:50:16,513
as long as that boy
stays on that stage.
2097
01:50:19,424 --> 01:50:22,391
[song ends]
2098
01:50:22,526 --> 01:50:23,729
[cheering]
2099
01:50:28,599 --> 01:50:30,835
[audio fades]
2100
01:50:30,970 --> 01:50:33,163
[Parker] My boy's light
burned brighter
2101
01:50:33,299 --> 01:50:36,032
than even 15 years before.
2102
01:50:36,168 --> 01:50:37,369
[Elvis] Hi, darlin'.
2103
01:50:39,841 --> 01:50:42,275
[women exclaiming]
2104
01:51:05,203 --> 01:51:08,198
[Parker] I saw in her face
that night
2105
01:51:08,333 --> 01:51:11,174
what I had always known.
2106
01:51:11,310 --> 01:51:16,716
She could never compete
with the love he felt from you.
2107
01:51:19,816 --> 01:51:22,348
[music slowly builds]
2108
01:51:24,815 --> 01:51:26,550
I'm sorry I couldn't
make it up there, man.
2109
01:51:28,221 --> 01:51:32,521
Take my... take my hand
2110
01:51:32,657 --> 01:51:37,395
Take my whole...
whole life too
2111
01:51:37,531 --> 01:51:39,867
For I... for I...
I can't help
2112
01:51:40,002 --> 01:51:41,506
Hey, guys. Time to go back.
2113
01:51:41,641 --> 01:51:45,404
Falling in love with you
2114
01:51:45,539 --> 01:51:51,008
Oh, oh, for I...
For I can't help
2115
01:51:51,143 --> 01:51:54,516
Falling in love
2116
01:51:54,651 --> 01:51:59,891
With you
2117
01:52:07,730 --> 01:52:09,692
[crowd roaring]
2118

[band playing final flourish]
2119
01:52:20,041 --> 01:52:21,605
Thank you very much.
2120
01:52:25,750 --> 01:52:27,743
Thank you! Thank you.
2121
01:52:31,956 --> 01:52:34,794
[people chattering excitedly]
2122
01:52:37,397 --> 01:52:39,359
[panting]
2123
01:52:42,392 --> 01:52:44,228
Such a fine show.
2124
01:52:44,363 --> 01:52:46,564
[applause continues faintly]
2125
01:52:47,972 --> 01:52:49,672
[bandmates cheering, clapping]
2126
01:52:49,808 --> 01:52:51,638
[Elvis] Yeah, baby! Yeah.
2127
01:52:51,773 --> 01:52:54,110
-[bandmate 1] Wow, great show.
-Thank you. Thank you, all.
2128
01:52:54,245 --> 01:52:56,605
[bandmate 2] Goddamn, Elvis.
That was great.
2129
01:52:56,741 --> 01:52:57,812
[bandmate 3]
That was fantastic.
2130
01:52:57,947 --> 01:52:58,941
[Elvis] There she is.
2131
01:52:59,077 --> 01:53:00,314
[laughs]
2132
01:53:04,248 --> 01:53:06,584
[crying softly]
2133
01:53:08,996 --> 01:53:11,330
Oh, God. I don't know
who that was out there.
2134
01:53:11,465 --> 01:53:13,622
You were... You...
2135
01:53:13,758 --> 01:53:15,224
You were incredible.
You were...
2136
01:53:15,360 --> 01:53:16,502
You were everything.
2137
01:53:16,637 --> 01:53:19,971
Thank you, baby. Thank you.
2138
01:53:21,871 --> 01:53:23,800
Mr. Elvis Presley,
2139
01:53:23,935 --> 01:53:26,544
I guess that's your
new manager over there, hmm?
2140
01:53:26,680 --> 01:53:28,341
-Mmm.
-Mmm-hmm.
2141
01:53:28,477 --> 01:53:30,672
Yeah. I'm gonna go talk to him,
all right?
2142
01:53:30,808 --> 01:53:32,515
-Okay.
-You okay to get upstairs?
2143
01:53:32,651 --> 01:53:33,710
Mmm-hmm. Yeah.
2144
01:53:35,487 --> 01:53:36,416
[sighs]
2145
01:53:49,035 --> 01:53:51,999
Tremendous...
tremendous triumph.
2146
01:53:52,134 --> 01:53:54,897
The greatest show on earth.
2147
01:53:55,033 --> 01:53:59,708
My dear boy, this brainchild
came from you and me,
2148
01:53:59,843 --> 01:54:03,475
but you alone
rose above it all,
and it worked with your talent,
2149
01:54:03,611 --> 01:54:06,914
and your dedication.
[emotional laugh]
2150
01:54:07,049 --> 01:54:08,577
We did it. We did it!
2151
01:54:08,712 --> 01:54:10,483
-We did it. [chuckles]
-We did.
2152
01:54:12,122 --> 01:54:14,887
Come on.
[exhausted laugh]
2153
01:54:15,022 --> 01:54:16,755
[exhaling]
2154
01:54:16,890 --> 01:54:19,690
I can't wait to show the world
what you and I can do.
2155
01:54:22,495 --> 01:54:24,770
The world will see this show.
2156
01:54:24,905 --> 01:54:26,901
Whatever it takes,
I guarantee it.
2157
01:54:27,036 --> 01:54:28,369
Whatever I have to do.
2158
01:54:32,509 --> 01:54:33,803
[man] Ladies and gentlemen
of the press,
2159
01:54:33,938 --> 01:54:36,713
the King of Rock and Roll,
Elvis Presley!

01:54:36,848 --> 01:54:38,441
[reporters clamoring]
2161
01:54:38,577 --> 01:54:40,118
[Elvis] No, I'm not the king.
2162
01:54:40,254 --> 01:54:42,922
Hey, Fats. Mr. Fats Domino,
ladies and gentlemen.
2163
01:54:43,057 --> 01:54:44,787
This is the real king
of rock and roll.
2164
01:54:44,923 --> 01:54:46,388
Yeah, I'm somethin' else.
2165
01:54:46,523 --> 01:54:48,522
[reporter] Any plans
to take this show on tour?
2166
01:54:48,657 --> 01:54:50,689
There's so many places
I haven't been yet, you know.
2167
01:54:50,825 --> 01:54:54,624
I'd like to go to Europe.
I'd like to go to Japan.
2168
01:54:54,760 --> 01:54:56,634
I've never been
out of the country,
2169
01:54:56,769 --> 01:54:58,131
except in the service.
2170

["Polk Salad Annie" playing]

[crowd cheering]
2172
01:55:04,341 --> 01:55:05,868
What are you lookin' at
back there?
2173
01:55:06,744 --> 01:55:07,769
Oh, Mr. Diskin.
2174
01:55:07,905 --> 01:55:09,441
Have we discussed
with Mr. Hulett,
2175
01:55:09,577 --> 01:55:11,208
pertaining
to the death threats?
2176
01:55:11,343 --> 01:55:13,244
The death threats?
2177
01:55:13,380 --> 01:55:15,981
Precisely. Death threats!
2178
01:55:16,116 --> 01:55:17,589
[cheering]
2179
01:55:17,724 --> 01:55:19,750

Grow so mean

[Jerry] Colonel,
once we finish the season,
2186
01:55:35,099 --> 01:55:36,966
Elvis wants
to take the tour overseas.
2187
01:55:37,101 --> 01:55:40,206
Overseas? Have you thought
about security, Jerry?
2188
01:55:40,342 --> 01:55:42,275
[Jerry] Of course I have.
2189
01:55:42,410 --> 01:55:44,312
[Parker] This is Elvis Presley,
2190
01:55:44,448 --> 01:55:47,478
the most famous man
on the planet.

Lord, have mercy
2193
01:55:51,886 --> 01:55:53,188
[Parker] The crazies
in those countries...
2194
01:55:53,324 --> 01:55:55,522
They're a hundred times
more dangerous.
2195
01:55:55,658 --> 01:55:58,356
Am I the only one
who thinks about security?
2196
01:55:58,491 --> 01:56:01,424
Sock a little polk salad
2197
01:56:01,559 --> 01:56:02,859
You know I need it
2198
01:56:04,666 --> 01:56:07,703
There is nothing more important
than security!
2199
01:56:07,838 --> 01:56:09,833

[song ends]
2207
01:56:40,636 --> 01:56:42,271
[Parker] Those guys
turned out to be
2208
01:56:42,406 --> 01:56:44,703
some over-excited fans
from Peru.
2209
01:56:44,838 --> 01:56:47,241
But the death threats
were real.
2210
01:56:47,377 --> 01:56:49,774
I'm going back on.
[panting]
2211
01:56:49,909 --> 01:56:52,073
I'll rip his goddamn tongue out
by the roots.
2212
01:56:52,209 --> 01:56:55,979
[Parker] It started
to take its toll.
2213
01:56:56,114 --> 01:56:59,083
Here at Baptist Memorial
Hospital in Midtown Memphis,
2214
01:56:59,218 --> 01:57:02,221
Elvis Presley has apparently
checked in to a private suite,
2215
01:57:02,357 --> 01:57:04,061
suffering from exhaustion.
2216
01:57:04,196 --> 01:57:06,323
A sign that Elvis
is in fact here
2217
01:57:06,458 --> 01:57:10,334
is the aluminum foil
that covers his windows
to deflect the sun.
2218
01:57:10,469 --> 01:57:11,995
[TV reporter]
Shock around the nation today
2219
01:57:12,131 --> 01:57:14,337
as a free rock concert
at the Altamont Speedway

01:57:14,472 --> 01:57:16,774
by English band
The Rolling Stones,
2221
01:57:16,910 --> 01:57:18,706
ended with four deaths.
2222
01:57:18,841 --> 01:57:21,242
One resulting from a stabbing,
allegedly committed...
2223
01:57:21,378 --> 01:57:23,511
[nurse] Elvis,
Dr. Nick is here.
2224
01:57:25,516 --> 01:57:27,417
[Parker] Such a lovely girl,
Ms. Tate.
2225
01:57:27,552 --> 01:57:30,084
What has happened to law
and order in this country?
2226
01:57:30,219 --> 01:57:31,948
Hippies and radicals,
2227
01:57:32,083 --> 01:57:35,393
threatening and killing
popular entertainers.
2228
01:57:35,529 --> 01:57:39,664
The IRA blowing up England?
Planes exploding in mid-air?
2229
01:57:39,800 --> 01:57:41,156
Has the world gone mad?
2230
01:57:41,291 --> 01:57:44,063
Hulett's security
is not what it needs to be.
2231
01:57:44,198 --> 01:57:45,633
And he knows it.
2232
01:57:45,768 --> 01:57:47,930
An international tour now
is out of the question.
2233
01:57:48,065 --> 01:57:49,838
What are you talking about,
Colonel?
2234
01:57:49,973 --> 01:57:51,840
I ain't gonna let these sons of
bitches push me off the stage.
2235
01:57:51,975 --> 01:57:53,476
Precisely.
2236
01:57:53,611 --> 01:57:55,241
You are not one of Hulett's
long-hair Zeppelins,
2237
01:57:55,376 --> 01:57:57,307
you are Elvis Presley.
2238
01:57:57,442 --> 01:57:59,251
You are beloved.
2239
01:57:59,386 --> 01:58:02,112
And I told him I have to
look Priscilla in the eye,
2240
01:58:02,248 --> 01:58:06,982
and I have to promise her
that little Lisa Marie's daddy
2241
01:58:07,118 --> 01:58:10,118
will be safe while
he's away from home.
2242
01:58:10,254 --> 01:58:11,920
We're taking the show
to the world, Colonel.
2243
01:58:12,056 --> 01:58:14,232
I ain't gonna disappoint
those fans.
2244
01:58:18,605 --> 01:58:20,670
Well...
2245
01:58:20,805 --> 01:58:25,634
If you want to book more dates,
we could do an American tour,
2246
01:58:25,769 --> 01:58:28,041
15 cities in 15 days,
2247
01:58:28,177 --> 01:58:31,609
while Mr. Hulett
straightens out his security
problems overseas.
2248
01:58:31,744 --> 01:58:33,809
I'd like that
very much, son.
2249
01:58:33,944 --> 01:58:35,350
How is that gonna be any safer?
2250
01:58:35,486 --> 01:58:37,551
[Parker] Because staying
in this country,
2251
01:58:37,687 --> 01:58:41,453
I can handle every aspect
of security.
2252
01:58:41,589 --> 01:58:43,053
And then we go international?
2253
01:58:43,188 --> 01:58:46,130
Yeah, sure, around the world.
Wherever you want.
2254
01:58:46,266 --> 01:58:47,556
But in the meantime,
here in America,
2255
01:58:47,692 --> 01:58:50,198
we put on a great show.
2256
01:58:50,334 --> 01:58:51,627
And what will we do, Charlie?
2257
01:58:51,762 --> 01:58:53,403
And have a lot of fun.
2258
01:58:54,336 --> 01:58:56,802
Taking care of business.
2259
01:58:58,571 --> 01:59:01,002
Taking care of business.
2260
01:59:01,138 --> 01:59:04,678
["Burning Love"
by Presley playing]
2261
01:59:07,621 --> 01:59:10,948
[Parker] I'll get guarantees
from every mayor.
2262
01:59:11,083 --> 01:59:13,150
We'll double
the police presence.
2263
01:59:13,286 --> 01:59:15,986
You'll have more security
than the President.
2264
01:59:16,961 --> 01:59:18,792
[crowd cheering]
2265
01:59:18,927 --> 01:59:22,795
Lord Almighty
I feel my temperature rising
2266
01:59:24,804 --> 01:59:28,702
Higher, higher
It's burning through
to my soul
2267
01:59:30,874 --> 01:59:36,580
Girl, girl, girl
You're gonna set me on fire
2268
01:59:36,716 --> 01:59:39,415
My brain is flaming
I don't know which way to go
2269
01:59:39,551 --> 01:59:41,078
[Parker] And when
the show is done,
2270
01:59:41,214 --> 01:59:44,087
the boys will hustle you
to the motorcade.
2271
01:59:44,222 --> 01:59:46,447
Elvis has left the building.
2272
01:59:46,583 --> 01:59:50,295
Once you're in the air,
Dr. Nick will ensure your rest.
2273
01:59:51,326 --> 01:59:53,092
Burnin' love
2274
01:59:53,227 --> 01:59:55,590
[Parker] Land in the next city,
then we do it all again.
2275
01:59:55,726 --> 01:59:57,093
Fifteen times!
2276
01:59:57,228 --> 02:00:00,030
I'm just a hunk
A hunk of burning love
2277
02:00:00,165 --> 02:00:02,169
I'm just a hunk
A hunk of burning love
2278
02:00:02,305 --> 02:00:04,872
[Parker] It was life
on the road,
just like the old days.
2279
02:00:05,007 --> 02:00:09,039
We were making so much snow,
we did it again.
2280
02:00:11,247 --> 02:00:12,680
And again.
2281
02:00:13,546 --> 02:00:15,517
And again.
2282
02:00:15,653 --> 02:00:18,851
All in the safety
of the US of A.
2283
02:00:22,586 --> 02:00:25,895
Eventually, he lost interest
in going overseas.
2284
02:00:26,031 --> 02:00:27,864
Why would you?
2285
02:00:27,999 --> 02:00:32,328
But I still kept my promise.
I brought the world to him.
2286
02:00:32,464 --> 02:00:36,439
I invented the world's
first ever satellite concert.
2287

["It's Only Love"
by Presley playing]
2288
02:00:39,539 --> 02:00:44,746
[Parker] 1.5 billion people in
one night, for a single artist.
2289
02:00:44,881 --> 02:00:48,078
Nothing like it before,
nothing like it since.

[band playing final fanfare]
2291
02:00:57,791 --> 02:01:00,358
[Parker] But it wasn't enough.
2292
02:01:00,493 --> 02:01:06,403
He was addicted to the love
he felt from you onstage.
2293
02:01:06,539 --> 02:01:09,803
Ordinary love
just didn't compare.
2294
02:01:11,303 --> 02:01:15,981
So, in the lonely moments
between shows,
2295
02:01:16,116 --> 02:01:19,440
he turned to them pills.
2296
02:01:19,576 --> 02:01:21,815
Priscilla, I want you to
do something for me, will you?
2297
02:01:21,950 --> 02:01:25,357
You give my baby girl
a big hug for me, okay?

No. I couldn't care less
about whoever it is

It's about this, Elvis.

-And this.
-Hey. Whoa.

The only time you're happy

in New Orleans earlier today
to mourn the passing

of gospel legend,
Mahalia Jackson.

[Jackson] Will you
come to Mississippi
2363
02:04:53,300 --> 02:04:55,231
and sing with us, Mr. Presley?
2364
02:04:55,366 --> 02:04:59,436
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
02:05:07,504 --> 02:05:08,873
And a man don't
make up his own mind

Why won't the Colonel
let him go overseas?

02:05:17,824 --> 02:05:19,584
-Security, Jerry.
You know that.
-Bullshit!
2374
02:05:19,720 --> 02:05:21,852
The Colonel's killing
his greatest asset
without a reason.
2375
02:05:21,987 --> 02:05:23,724
So what is the reason?
2376
02:05:23,859 --> 02:05:26,430
Colonel always has his reasons.
2377
02:05:26,565 --> 02:05:28,425

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

There wasn't gonna be
an international tour
2381
02:05:34,003 --> 02:05:35,365
'cause he can't leave
the country.
2382
02:05:35,500 --> 02:05:37,603
He's got no citizenship,
no official identity.
2383

He doesn't exist.

There never was
a Colonel Tom Parker.

talking about, Jerry?

[King] Colonel's a smart man.
2390
02:05:54,022 --> 02:05:55,325
There's got to be
another reason.

[Jerry] Come on, man!
2392
02:05:56,794 --> 02:05:58,221
[Parker] I will
stay here at home,
2393
02:05:58,356 --> 02:06:00,427
and I will work
and I will worry.

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

I have no idea, man.
2396
02:06:05,636 --> 02:06:07,067
[Parker] Get out of the way!
2397
02:06:09,107 --> 02:06:12,908
Now, you listen to me.
The only thing that matters...
2398
02:06:13,043 --> 02:06:16,071
is that that man
gets up on that stage tonight.
2399
02:06:16,206 --> 02:06:17,605
[overlapping chatter]
2400
02:06:17,741 --> 02:06:20,652
If he was my son,
I'd put him in a hospital.
2401
02:06:25,189 --> 02:06:28,286
Well, of course, this is
a Presley Enterprises decision.
2402
02:06:29,227 --> 02:06:30,552
Vernon?
2403
02:06:31,957 --> 02:06:34,490
Well... um...
2404
02:06:35,533 --> 02:06:37,799
Well, what can you...
2405
02:06:37,934 --> 02:06:40,133
What can you do for him,
Dr. Nick?
2406
02:06:42,435 --> 02:06:49,208
[Elvis singing]
His truth is marching on
2407
02:06:53,177 --> 02:06:54,319
[applause, cheering]
2408
02:06:54,454 --> 02:07:00,054
His truth is marching on
2409
02:07:08,498 --> 02:07:09,861
[song ends]
2410
02:07:09,996 --> 02:07:12,000
[screaming, applause]
2411
02:07:14,539 --> 02:07:16,665
Thank you. Thank you.
2412
02:07:16,800 --> 02:07:18,807
Now he's gonna ask the house
lights to be brought up,
2413
02:07:18,942 --> 02:07:20,304
'cause we've been
looking at him.
2414
02:07:20,440 --> 02:07:22,272
He wants to look at us now.
He loves this.
2415
02:07:22,408 --> 02:07:23,778
I'd like to turn
the house lights up,
2416
02:07:23,913 --> 02:07:25,710
-ladies and gentlemen.
-Eh?
2417
02:07:25,845 --> 02:07:28,648
'Cause now that you've seen me,
I'd like to take a look at you.
2418
02:07:28,784 --> 02:07:31,281
[cheering, applause]
2419
02:07:31,417 --> 02:07:33,625
Oh, you're beautiful.
Thank you.
2420
02:07:33,760 --> 02:07:35,353
He'll mention the VIPs
that are here.
2421
02:07:35,489 --> 02:07:37,560
We've got some high-rollers
in here tonight.
2422
02:07:37,695 --> 02:07:38,991
Get ready for the spotlight.
2423
02:07:39,127 --> 02:07:42,490
Mr. International Hotel
himself.
2424
02:07:42,625 --> 02:07:44,863
-Thank you.
-Ah, there you go.
2425
02:07:44,998 --> 02:07:47,431
And right next to him,
2426
02:07:47,566 --> 02:07:52,369
is my so-called manager,
Colonel Tom Parker.
2427
02:07:52,504 --> 02:07:55,945
-There he is.
-[chuckling] Come on.
2428
02:07:56,081 --> 02:08:01,284
But I hear rumors
that Colonel is an alien.
2429
02:08:01,419 --> 02:08:04,048
[laughter]
2430
02:08:04,183 --> 02:08:05,784
Got here on my rocket ship.
2431
02:08:05,920 --> 02:08:08,256
[cheering, applause]
2432
02:08:08,392 --> 02:08:09,420
Oh.
2433
02:08:13,323 --> 02:08:15,392
Somebody call the FBI
2434
02:08:15,528 --> 02:08:17,967
and tell 'em that
he has abducted me,
2435
02:08:18,102 --> 02:08:22,434
that he has locked me
in this golden cage,
2436
02:08:22,569 --> 02:08:26,573
to keep me here forever
with you, ladies and gentlemen.
2437
02:08:26,708 --> 02:08:29,671
[light applause]
2438
02:08:29,806 --> 02:08:32,415
[singing, slurred]
So I'm caught in a trap
2439
02:08:32,550 --> 02:08:35,083
I can't get out
2440
02:08:36,582 --> 02:08:40,121
'Cause Colonel's got some
big debts, baby.
2441
02:08:44,187 --> 02:08:46,293
Excuse me.
2442
02:08:46,428 --> 02:08:49,795
Well, this is the last show
I'm ever playing here.
2443
02:08:49,930 --> 02:08:51,331
[scattered groans]
2444
02:08:51,466 --> 02:08:56,600
I'm gonna get on my jet plane,
the Lisa Marie...
2445
02:08:56,735 --> 02:09:01,169
It's named after my, uh...
my beautiful daughter.
2446
02:09:01,305 --> 02:09:03,309
And I'm gonna fly away.
2447
02:09:05,110 --> 02:09:07,177
No, no, no...
2448
02:09:07,313 --> 02:09:10,249
You know, I'm gonna fly away.
2449
02:09:10,385 --> 02:09:12,282
[whispers] Stop the show.
Stop this show!
2450
02:09:12,417 --> 02:09:13,522
Come on,
get this curtain down.
2451
02:09:13,658 --> 02:09:15,586
Fuck the International.
2452
02:09:15,721 --> 02:09:18,955
Mr. Schilling, what the devil
is happening here?
2453
02:09:19,091 --> 02:09:20,490
And Las Vegas.
2454
02:09:20,626 --> 02:09:21,798
[Jerry] That's what
he wants to know.
2455
02:09:21,934 --> 02:09:24,297
Ain't no one
gonna stop me, man.
2456
02:09:25,966 --> 02:09:28,734
Oh! Security.
2457
02:09:28,869 --> 02:09:30,274
Security!
2458
02:09:30,409 --> 02:09:31,740
[babbling]
2459
02:09:31,876 --> 02:09:35,477
Security, security! Security!
2460
02:09:35,612 --> 02:09:37,775
800 shows!
2461
02:09:37,910 --> 02:09:40,775
You don't have
a goddamn passport,
you son of a bitch!
2462
02:09:41,553 --> 02:09:43,151
You are fired!
2463
02:09:43,951 --> 02:09:45,956
You are fired!
2464
02:09:46,822 --> 02:09:49,190
You're fired!
2465
02:09:55,863 --> 02:09:57,792
[all murmuring]
2466
02:09:59,032 --> 02:10:00,564
You're fired.
2467
02:10:03,471 --> 02:10:06,410
-[microphone thumps]
-[feedback squeals]
2468
02:10:06,545 --> 02:10:08,011
[Charlie] E., I--
2469
02:10:10,214 --> 02:10:12,642
Colonel, I gotta--
I'll talk him down.
2470
02:10:21,161 --> 02:10:23,290
This is Colonel Tom Parker.
I wish it to be known
2471
02:10:23,426 --> 02:10:26,561
that Dr. Nick's services
are no longer required.
2472
02:10:26,696 --> 02:10:28,031
Thank you.
2473
02:10:29,467 --> 02:10:31,027
Hmm.
2474
02:10:31,162 --> 02:10:32,970
Well, Diskin...
2475
02:10:33,105 --> 02:10:35,500
if the boy wants to set out
on his own,
2476
02:10:35,635 --> 02:10:38,567
it's all right by me,
but Presley Enterprises
2477
02:10:38,703 --> 02:10:41,039
is going to cough up
what it owes.
2478
02:10:41,175 --> 02:10:43,146
-Are you ready?
-Ready.
2479
02:10:43,281 --> 02:10:45,680
Gasoline for the first trip
to the Hayride...
2480
02:10:45,816 --> 02:10:47,541
one dollar and 25 cents.
2481
02:10:47,677 --> 02:10:49,545
Un-recouped promotional costs
2482
02:10:49,681 --> 02:10:52,416
pertaining to souvenir
calendars, $100.
2483
02:10:52,552 --> 02:10:54,925
Collectible trading cards,
$100.
2484
02:10:55,060 --> 02:10:58,187
Posters, flyers and programs,
$100.

02:10:58,323 --> 02:11:00,354
Balloons, $50...
2486
02:11:00,490 --> 02:11:02,791
[jet engines thrumming]
2487
02:11:14,076 --> 02:11:15,274
[Elvis] What's the hold-up?
2488
02:11:15,410 --> 02:11:18,213
Sorry, E.P. Your daddy
won't come down.
2489
02:11:21,047 --> 02:11:22,382
[door opens]
2490
02:11:23,081 --> 02:11:24,087
Daddy.
2491
02:11:42,334 --> 02:11:44,271
[Elvis] What is this?
2492
02:11:44,407 --> 02:11:48,078
Well, that is what we owe
the Colonel.
2493
02:11:50,945 --> 02:11:52,577
We're broke.
2494
02:11:55,521 --> 02:11:58,248
Daddy, I've been playing this
mausoleum for a hundred years.
2495
02:11:58,383 --> 02:11:59,857
How could we be broke?
2496
02:11:59,993 --> 02:12:01,654
[Vernon] You spend
so much money.
2497
02:12:01,790 --> 02:12:05,324
You know, you got the cars
and the girls and the clothes,
2498
02:12:05,459 --> 02:12:07,491
and all the...
you know, new airplane.
2499
02:12:07,627 --> 02:12:09,099
Daddy, you are
my business manager.
2500
02:12:09,234 --> 02:12:10,629
You're supposed
to be taking care of business.
2501
02:12:10,764 --> 02:12:13,427
I don't know what to tell you,
son, we're broke!
2502
02:12:13,562 --> 02:12:15,167
We're plain broke.
2503
02:12:15,302 --> 02:12:17,168
Gotta take the Colonel back.
2504
02:12:17,304 --> 02:12:19,468
I am not taking him back.
2505
02:12:19,603 --> 02:12:21,210
We're gonna lose Graceland.
2506
02:12:33,793 --> 02:12:35,686
I am not taking him back!
2507
02:12:36,320 --> 02:12:38,696
[yelling]
2508
02:12:38,831 --> 02:12:40,129
He takes everything from me.
2509
02:12:40,265 --> 02:12:42,525
He takes 50%
of everything that I make!
2510
02:12:42,660 --> 02:12:43,930
And now he wants
to take the home
2511
02:12:44,066 --> 02:12:45,531
that we bought for Mama!
2512
02:12:46,772 --> 02:12:47,938
Listen to me, Daddy.
2513
02:12:48,074 --> 02:12:50,938
That old bastard
can sue if he wants,
2514
02:12:51,073 --> 02:12:52,868
but I am flying away.
2515
02:12:53,977 --> 02:12:55,508
With or without you.
2516
02:12:59,783 --> 02:13:01,481
[elevator dings]
2517
02:13:05,520 --> 02:13:08,893
Oh, you bloodsucking,
old vampire.
2518
02:13:09,029 --> 02:13:12,259
You bled me dry
and you still want more?
2519
02:13:12,395 --> 02:13:14,658
I'm not an uncaring man,
Mr. Presley.
2520
02:13:14,794 --> 02:13:17,762
Don't you "Mr. Presley" me,
you toad.
2521
02:13:17,897 --> 02:13:20,938
If you are so determined
to get out of our contract--
2522
02:13:21,074 --> 02:13:22,435
You're goddamn right
I want out.
2523
02:13:22,571 --> 02:13:24,403
Well, I will personally
loan you the money
2524
02:13:24,539 --> 02:13:26,439
that you owe
to Jamboree Attractions.
2525
02:13:26,575 --> 02:13:28,242
Yeah, you'll still have
your claws in me.
2526
02:13:28,378 --> 02:13:29,606
You'll still have me
working here
2527
02:13:29,742 --> 02:13:31,575
like a goddamn slave
in a salt mine,
2528
02:13:31,710 --> 02:13:34,041
you phony, no-good
piece of trash!
2529
02:13:34,176 --> 02:13:37,748
I oughta shoot you in your fat,
goddamn face!
2530
02:13:38,888 --> 02:13:40,152
Who are you?
2531
02:13:40,288 --> 02:13:42,351
I am you. And you are me.
2532
02:13:42,486 --> 02:13:43,986
Cut the horseshit!
2533
02:13:44,121 --> 02:13:46,159
Everything I've ever known
about you has been a lie.
2534
02:13:46,294 --> 02:13:47,892
[Jerry] E.P., you all good?
2535
02:13:48,028 --> 02:13:52,493
[chuckles] My past is the least
of your problems, my boy.
2536
02:13:52,628 --> 02:13:58,036
Everyone else
you associate with
lives from you, Mr. Presley.
2537
02:13:58,171 --> 02:14:00,076
Even Vernon.
2538
02:14:00,212 --> 02:14:03,204
That's right,
even your own daddy
2539
02:14:03,340 --> 02:14:06,813
has looked after himself
before he's looked after you.
2540
02:14:06,948 --> 02:14:09,886
Yes, I have lived
from you, too,
but the difference is
2541
02:14:10,021 --> 02:14:11,784
you have also lived from me.
2542
02:14:11,920 --> 02:14:16,618
We have supported each other.
Because we shared a dream.
2543
02:14:16,753 --> 02:14:20,056
We are the same, you and I.
2544
02:14:20,192 --> 02:14:25,631
We are two odd,
lonely children,
reaching for eternity.
2545
02:14:28,305 --> 02:14:31,071
Maybe you should fly away,
my boy.
2546
02:14:31,206 --> 02:14:35,045
Away from all of this.
2547
02:14:35,181 --> 02:14:39,040
But if you do choose
to leave...
2548
02:14:40,747 --> 02:14:44,117
then I, for one,
will be very lonely.
2549
02:14:44,252 --> 02:14:46,815
So would your father.
2550
02:14:46,951 --> 02:14:50,618
But I think you may
be lonely, too.
2551
02:14:50,753 --> 02:14:52,460
[taps elevator button]
2552
02:14:53,526 --> 02:14:56,561
Oh, you see, my boy, the...
2553
02:14:56,697 --> 02:15:00,061
truth about
the Rock of Eternity...
2554
02:15:03,374 --> 02:15:08,311
It is forever
just beyond our reach.
2555
02:15:36,640 --> 02:15:41,344
[Elvis singing]
Do the chairs
in your parlor
2556
02:15:43,081 --> 02:15:46,778
Seem empty and bare?
2557
02:15:49,079 --> 02:15:53,389
Do you gaze
at your doorstep
2558
02:15:55,191 --> 02:15:58,658
Picture me there?
2559
02:16:00,993 --> 02:16:05,401
Is your heart
filled with pain?
2560
02:16:06,731 --> 02:16:11,000
Shall I come back again?
2561
02:16:12,845 --> 02:16:15,572
Tell me, dear
2562
02:16:15,708 --> 02:16:20,878
Are you lonesome tonight?
2563
02:16:22,883 --> 02:16:27,291
Is your heart
filled with pain?
2564
02:16:28,588 --> 02:16:32,890
Shall I come back again?
2565
02:16:34,867 --> 02:16:37,363
Tell me, dear
2566
02:16:37,499 --> 02:16:43,439
Are you lonesome tonight?
2567
02:16:51,414 --> 02:16:54,516
Son, I know...
I know, I...
2568
02:16:57,219 --> 02:16:59,213
I wanna try and...
2569
02:17:00,888 --> 02:17:04,218
I wanna try and fix this.
You know...
2570
02:17:08,261 --> 02:17:09,465
Daddy...
2571
02:17:15,030 --> 02:17:17,264
Tell that son of a bitch...
2572
02:17:17,399 --> 02:17:19,772
I want things to go back
to the way they were.
2573
02:17:28,283 --> 02:17:29,287
And, Daddy...
2574
02:17:31,984 --> 02:17:36,250
Tell the Colonel
to send up Dr. Nick.

["Suspicious Minds"

2576
02:17:54,470 --> 02:17:56,170
[radio DJ] It's a beautiful day
in Las Vegas,
2577
02:17:56,305 --> 02:17:57,710
with lots going on
this weekend.
2578
02:17:57,845 --> 02:18:00,116
Those teen sensations,
The Jacksons,
2579
02:18:00,251 --> 02:18:01,815
are causing a lot of excitement
2580
02:18:01,950 --> 02:18:04,182
with their residency
at the MGM Grand.
2581
02:18:04,318 --> 02:18:07,221
And for the older crowd,
Elvis is back for a fifth year.
2582
02:18:07,356 --> 02:18:08,722
And don't we love him.

[reporter]
In Entertainment News today,
2584
02:18:10,687 --> 02:18:12,957
Elvis Presley is in talks to
play opposite Barbra Streisand
2585
02:18:13,092 --> 02:18:14,862
in a remake
of A Star is Born.
2586
02:18:14,998 --> 02:18:16,430
[commentator] These days,
when he's not slurring
2587
02:18:16,565 --> 02:18:18,161
on stage in Vegas or playing
2588
02:18:18,296 --> 02:18:20,461
the same old
domestic concert circuit,
2589
02:18:20,597 --> 02:18:22,769
the singer spends weeks
at a time in his bedroom,
2590
02:18:22,904 --> 02:18:24,806
tormented by his
growing waistline.
2591
02:18:24,942 --> 02:18:26,872
Sounds like it won't be
much of a stretch for him
2592
02:18:27,007 --> 02:18:29,171
to play the role
of a washed-up singer.
2593
02:18:32,811 --> 02:18:34,880
Oh, look, here they come.
2594
02:18:37,314 --> 02:18:38,781
-[Vernon] Are you all right?
-[Elvis] Yep.
2595
02:18:38,916 --> 02:18:40,521
All right, Daddy loves you.
2596
02:18:40,657 --> 02:18:43,017
-Bye, baby.
-[Vernon] Come on, baby.
2597
02:18:43,152 --> 02:18:44,494
-Bye, Papa.
-Good girl.
2598
02:18:44,629 --> 02:18:46,661
-Bye, baby.
-[Vernon] Give me your hand.
2599
02:18:47,833 --> 02:18:49,224
Hi!
2600
02:18:49,360 --> 02:18:51,996
-[Vernon] Here she is.
-Hi, baby. How you doing?
2601
02:18:54,834 --> 02:18:56,365
Want to say goodbye to Daddy?
2602
02:18:56,501 --> 02:18:59,509
-[Lisa Marie] Bye, Daddy.
-[Priscilla] You're so good.
2603
02:19:01,203 --> 02:19:03,672
Hi. How are you?
How you doing?
2604
02:19:03,808 --> 02:19:05,174
[Vernon] We're okay.

02:19:07,218 --> 02:19:10,245
[jet engines whirring]
2606
02:19:24,529 --> 02:19:25,733
Hey.
2607
02:19:27,037 --> 02:19:28,197
Hi.
2608
02:19:30,767 --> 02:19:31,970
[Elvis] Hmm.
2609
02:19:37,544 --> 02:19:39,076
How are you doing?
2610
02:19:42,547 --> 02:19:44,048
[sighs]
2611
02:19:54,259 --> 02:19:57,429
Honey, there's this place
in San Diego
2612
02:19:57,565 --> 02:19:59,162
that you can go to rest.
2613
02:20:00,235 --> 02:20:01,903
To heal.
2614
02:20:02,039 --> 02:20:03,897
After the show, you can fly
directly and be in a clinic
2615
02:20:04,033 --> 02:20:05,074
before anyone knows.
2616
02:20:05,210 --> 02:20:06,400
It's all been arranged.
2617
02:20:08,809 --> 02:20:11,075
I'm gonna be 40 soon, 'Cilla.
2618
02:20:13,910 --> 02:20:16,110
[whispers] Forty.
2619
02:20:16,245 --> 02:20:18,588
And nobody's gonna remember me.
2620
02:20:21,118 --> 02:20:23,120
I never did anything lasting.
2621
02:20:25,623 --> 02:20:28,661
I never made that classic film
that I could be proud of.
2622
02:20:28,796 --> 02:20:30,930
But what about A Star is Born?
2623
02:20:32,930 --> 02:20:35,231
Uh... [chuckles lightly]
2624
02:20:37,275 --> 02:20:40,401
Barbra... the Colonel...
2625
02:20:41,377 --> 02:20:43,338
[both chuckle]
2626
02:20:46,978 --> 02:20:49,986
[crying softly] Please go.
2627
02:20:50,121 --> 02:20:52,279
For Lisa?
2628
02:20:52,415 --> 02:20:54,822
If you dream it,
you can do it, baby.
2629
02:20:57,053 --> 02:20:58,760
I'm all out of dreams.
2630
02:21:01,330 --> 02:21:02,995
Promise me.
2631
02:21:05,435 --> 02:21:06,834
[Priscilla sniffles]

[imperceptible]
2638
02:22:47,169 --> 02:22:49,538
[Elvis] Did you know
there's a kind of bird
2639
02:22:49,673 --> 02:22:51,870
that doesn't have any legs?
2640
02:22:52,005 --> 02:22:53,908
So it can't land on nothing.
2641
02:22:56,210 --> 02:22:58,308
It lives its whole life
on the wing.
2642
02:23:00,886 --> 02:23:04,649
When it gets tired,
it just spreads its wings
2643
02:23:04,785 --> 02:23:07,152
and sleeps on the wind.
2644
02:23:10,094 --> 02:23:13,455
If it ever does land,
even but one time...
2645
02:23:16,191 --> 02:23:17,800
so it dies.
2646
02:23:21,265 --> 02:23:22,662
[reporter 1] Good evening.
2647
02:23:22,798 --> 02:23:25,939
Elvis Presley died today.
He was 42.
2648
02:23:26,075 --> 02:23:27,843
Apparently,
it was a heart attack.
2649
02:23:27,978 --> 02:23:29,838
He was found in his home
in Memphis...
2650
02:23:29,973 --> 02:23:32,045
[reporter 2] President Carter
has just made a statement...
2651
02:23:32,181 --> 02:23:33,674
[President Carter]
Elvis Presley's death
2652
02:23:33,809 --> 02:23:36,114
deprives our country
of a part of itself.
2653
02:23:36,249 --> 02:23:37,877
He was unique
and irreplaceable.
2654
02:23:38,013 --> 02:23:39,480
[reporter 3] Thousands
of mourners have gathered
2655
02:23:39,616 --> 02:23:41,022
outside the gates
of Graceland...
2656
02:23:41,157 --> 02:23:42,690
[Carter] Using the styles
of white country
2657
02:23:42,825 --> 02:23:44,655
and Black rhythm and blues,
2658
02:23:44,790 --> 02:23:47,396
permanently changed the face
of American popular culture.
2659
02:23:47,532 --> 02:23:49,790
[reporter 4] The outpouring
of grief can be seen
everywhere.
2660
02:23:49,926 --> 02:23:52,626
[Carter] He was a symbol
to people the world over,
2661
02:23:52,761 --> 02:23:55,670
of the vitality,
rebelliousness...
2662
02:23:55,805 --> 02:23:58,841
[Parker] What killed my boy?
2663
02:23:58,976 --> 02:24:02,070
Them doctors say
it was his heart.
2664
02:24:02,205 --> 02:24:04,545
Others, the pills.
2665
02:24:04,681 --> 02:24:08,081
Some say it was me.
2666
02:24:08,216 --> 02:24:11,854
No. I'll tell you
what killed him.
2667
02:24:13,149 --> 02:24:16,183
It was love.
2668
02:24:16,318 --> 02:24:18,592
His love for you.
2669
02:24:18,728 --> 02:24:20,995
[faint applause, cheering]
2670
02:24:21,130 --> 02:24:23,667
You know, a few weeks
before he died,
2671
02:24:23,803 --> 02:24:27,701
I saw him sing
for the very last time.
2672
02:24:27,837 --> 02:24:30,004
He could barely stand up.
2673
02:24:31,300 --> 02:24:33,975
"Unchained Melody."
2674
02:24:34,110 --> 02:24:37,374
From an album called
Unchained Melody.
2675
02:24:37,509 --> 02:24:41,380
Makes a lot of sense. Okay.
[light chuckle]
2676
02:24:41,516 --> 02:24:45,984
[Parker] But that night,
he sang as he always did.
2677
02:24:46,119 --> 02:24:48,324
With all his heart and soul.
2678
02:24:48,460 --> 02:24:49,918
How you like it so far?
2679
02:24:50,053 --> 02:24:52,894
[crowd cheering]
2680
02:24:53,029 --> 02:24:56,394
[Parker] That old voice
rang out,
2681
02:24:56,529 --> 02:25:01,062
-and he sang with all his life.
-[piano piano]
2682
02:25:01,197 --> 02:25:06,539
Oh, my love

02:25:09,011 --> 02:25:13,174
I've hungered
for your touch

Time goes by
2687
02:25:27,531 --> 02:25:30,059
So slowly
2688
02:25:30,195 --> 02:25:34,335
And time can do so much
2689
02:25:34,471 --> 02:25:36,735
Are you
2690
02:25:36,870 --> 02:25:41,235
Still mine?
2691
02:25:41,371 --> 02:25:48,280
I need your love, ooh
2692
02:25:49,554 --> 02:25:54,457
I need your love
2693
02:25:54,593 --> 02:26:00,021
God speed your love
2694
02:26:00,156 --> 02:26:04,593
To me
2695
02:26:06,302 --> 02:26:13,368
Lonely rivers flow to the sea
To the sea
2696
02:26:13,503 --> 02:26:19,612
To the open arms of the sea

[crowd cheering]
2698
02:26:22,079 --> 02:26:28,991
Lonely rivers cry
Wait for me
Wait for me
2699
02:26:29,991 --> 02:26:33,297
I'll be coming home
2700
02:26:33,432 --> 02:26:38,501
Wait for me
2701
02:26:38,637 --> 02:26:43,970
My love, my darling
2702
02:26:44,105 --> 02:26:48,637
I've hungered for your kiss
2703
02:26:49,681 --> 02:26:55,880
A long, lonely time
2704
02:26:56,015 --> 02:26:57,448
[Presley]
When I was a child,
ladies and gentlemen,
2705
02:26:57,583 --> 02:26:59,780
I was a dreamer.
I read comic books
2706
02:26:59,916 --> 02:27:02,519
and I was the hero
of the comic book.
2707
02:27:02,655 --> 02:27:05,961
I saw movies and I was
the hero in the movie.
2708
02:27:06,097 --> 02:27:08,060
So every dream
that I ever dreamed
2709
02:27:08,195 --> 02:27:10,461
has come true
a hundred times.
2710
02:27:12,132 --> 02:27:18,799
Are you still mine?
2711
02:27:20,371 --> 02:27:27,313
I need your love, ooh
2712
02:27:30,549 --> 02:27:32,921
I learned very early
in life that...
2713
02:27:33,057 --> 02:27:36,024
"Without a song,
the day would never end,
2714
02:27:36,160 --> 02:27:38,785
without a song,
a man ain't got a friend,
2715
02:27:38,921 --> 02:27:42,024
without a song,
the road would never bend,
2716
02:27:42,159 --> 02:27:43,192
without a song."
2717
02:27:43,328 --> 02:27:45,093
So I keep singing a song.
2718
02:27:45,228 --> 02:27:47,897
To...
2719
02:27:48,033 --> 02:27:51,098

In the ghetto

02:29:12,823 --> 02:29:16,290
And his mama cries

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

People, don't you understand

02:29:31,843 --> 02:29:35,168
The child needs a helping hand

Or he'll grow to be
an angry young man some day
2741

Take a look at you and me
2742
02:29:42,447 --> 02:29:45,882
Are we too blind to see?
2743
02:29:46,018 --> 02:29:51,820
Do we simply turn our heads
And look the other way

Well, the world turns...

02:30:06,809 --> 02:30:09,503
[Presley reciting] "You never
stood in that man's shoes
2746
02:30:09,639 --> 02:30:12,039
Or saw things through his eyes
2747
02:30:12,174 --> 02:30:14,608
Or stood and watched
with helpless hands
2748
02:30:14,743 --> 02:30:17,548
While the heart inside you dies
2749
02:30:17,684 --> 02:30:20,350
So help your brother
along the way
2750
02:30:20,486 --> 02:30:23,225
No matter where he starts
2751
02:30:23,361 --> 02:30:28,722
For the same God that made you
Made him, too
2752
02:30:28,857 --> 02:30:31,266
These men with broken hearts"
2753
02:30:32,870 --> 02:30:36,139
And his mama cries
2754
02:30:38,509 --> 02:30:41,277
And a hungry, little boy
with a runny nose
2755
02:30:41,412 --> 02:30:43,778
Plays in the street
as the cold wind blows
2756
02:30:43,913 --> 02:30:45,544
In the ghetto
2757
02:30:49,019 --> 02:30:52,716
And his hunger burns
2758
02:30:54,359 --> 02:30:57,383
So he starts to roam
the streets at night
2759
02:30:57,519 --> 02:30:59,860
And he learns how to steal
And he learns how to fight
2760
02:30:59,995 --> 02:31:01,923
In the ghetto
2761
02:31:05,736 --> 02:31:10,940
Then one night in desperation
The young man breaks away
2762
02:31:11,075 --> 02:31:13,637
He buys a gun, steals a car
2763
02:31:13,773 --> 02:31:16,911
Tries to run,
but he don't get far
2764
02:31:17,046 --> 02:31:20,777
And his mama cries
2765
02:31:23,453 --> 02:31:26,222
["Product Of The Ghetto"
by Nardo Wick playing]
2766
02:31:45,167 --> 02:31:48,034
On a cold and gray
Chicago mornin'
2767
02:31:48,170 --> 02:31:51,681
Another little baby child
is born
2768
02:31:51,816 --> 02:31:53,645
In the ghetto
2769
02:32:04,093 --> 02:32:07,197
And his mama cries
2770
02:32:17,366 --> 02:32:19,506
["Summer Kisses, Winter Tears"
by Presley playing]
2771
02:32:21,937 --> 02:32:25,875
Summer kisses, winter tears
2772
02:32:30,814 --> 02:32:35,189
Summer kisses, winter tears
2773
02:32:35,324 --> 02:32:39,690
That was what she gave to me
2774
02:32:39,826 --> 02:32:43,690
Never thought
I'd travel all alone
2775
02:32:43,826 --> 02:32:49,998
The trail of memories
2776
02:32:54,810 --> 02:32:57,379
["The King And I" by Eminem
and CeeLo Green playing]
2777
02:35:23,822 --> 02:35:26,021
Don't tiptoe, stomp my ground
2778
02:35:26,157 --> 02:35:28,558
Gotta let 'em know
we're comin'
2779
02:35:28,693 --> 02:35:30,461
Just stay there, woman
2780
02:35:30,597 --> 02:35:32,402
Engine still runnin'
2781
02:35:32,537 --> 02:35:36,471
Get dressed
Like the whole world watchin'
2782
02:35:36,607 --> 02:35:39,834
God bless
Gotta leave 'em shooken
2783
02:35:39,970 --> 02:35:42,044
Girls goin' wild, too cray
2784
02:35:42,180 --> 02:35:44,206
Look at what you made
2785
02:35:44,341 --> 02:35:47,984
Always come correct
There's no turnin' back
2786
02:35:48,120 --> 02:35:50,085
Takin' bigger steps
2787
02:35:50,221 --> 02:35:52,052
That's all I can do
2788
02:35:52,187 --> 02:35:55,684
That's all for the moment
If that's all right with you
2789
02:35:55,819 --> 02:35:57,885
That's all right, Mama
2790
02:35:58,021 --> 02:36:00,062
That's all right with you
2791
02:36:00,197 --> 02:36:01,889
That's all right, Mama
2792
02:36:02,024 --> 02:36:04,698
Anyway you do, that's all right
2793
02:36:05,532 --> 02:36:07,426
That's all right
2794
02:36:07,562 --> 02:36:12,767
That's all right now, Mama
Anyway you do
2795
02:36:12,903 --> 02:36:16,540
We can't go on together
2796
02:36:16,676 --> 02:36:19,108
With suspicious minds
2797
02:36:21,110 --> 02:36:25,054
And we can't build our dreams
2798
02:36:25,190 --> 02:36:28,150
On suspicious minds
2799
02:36:46,402 --> 02:36:48,073
["If I can Dream"
by Maneskin playing]
2800
02:36:48,209 --> 02:36:54,407
There must be peace
and understanding sometime
2801
02:36:55,880 --> 02:36:57,917
Strong winds of promise
2802
02:36:58,052 --> 02:37:03,488
That will blow away
the doubt and fear
2803
02:37:03,624 --> 02:37:07,893
If I can dream of a warmer sun
2804
02:37:08,029 --> 02:37:11,463
Where hope keeps shining
on everyone
2805
02:37:11,599 --> 02:37:15,095
Tell me why, oh, why,
2806
02:37:15,230 --> 02:37:22,072
Oh, why won't that sun appear
2807
02:37:28,110 --> 02:37:30,817
We're lost in a cloud
2808
02:37:31,915 --> 02:37:35,752
With too much rain
2809
02:37:35,887 --> 02:37:39,426
We're trapped in a world
2810
02:37:39,562 --> 02:37:43,293
That's troubled with pain
2811
02:37:43,429 --> 02:37:49,336
But as long as a man
Has the strength to dream
2812
02:37:49,472 --> 02:37:56,370
He can redeem his soul and fly
2813
02:37:58,280 --> 02:38:01,146
Oh...
2814
02:38:01,282 --> 02:38:07,051
Deep in my heart,
there's a trembling question
2815
02:38:08,725 --> 02:38:12,326
Still I am sure
that the answers
2816
02:38:12,462 --> 02:38:15,831
The answers gonna come somehow
2817
02:38:15,966 --> 02:38:23,573
Out there in the dark,
there's a beckoning candle
2818
02:38:23,708 --> 02:38:27,533
And while I can think,
while I can talk
2819
02:38:27,668 --> 02:38:31,741
While I can stand,
while I can walk
2820
02:38:31,876 --> 02:38:34,408
While I can dream
2821
02:38:35,419 --> 02:38:38,115
Please let my dream
2822
02:38:39,322 --> 02:38:43,692
Come true
2823
02:38:46,890 --> 02:38:50,728
Right now
2824
02:38:50,864 --> 02:38:53,196
Let it come true right now
2825
02:38:54,237 --> 02:38:58,201
Oh, yeah
2826
02:39:03,375 --> 02:39:04,846
-[audience applauding]
-[Presley] Thank you.
2827
02:39:04,981 --> 02:39:06,440
You're fantastic.
Thank you very much.
