Episode 3

Greg Kinnear and Katie Holmes star as President John F Kennedy and his wife, Jackie, in Stephen Kronish's compelling drama series, charting the triumph and the tragedy of the first couple.

Jack and Bobby try to convince their father that Bobby's being named Attorney General would be a major mistake. Quickly drawn into the Bay of Pigs crisis, virtually all of Jack's advisers - military and civilian - urge him to go ahead with the invasion. JFK is unsure that the plan will work, and he worries that the operation will be linked back to the US - causing major problems with Cuba's ally, the Soviet Union.

Meanwhile, Bobby and J Edgar Hoover butt heads over Bobby's desire to control the flow of information from the Justice Department. Hoover sets out to hurt Bobby the only way he can - through his brother the President.
