[later in the night Annie Hoover passes away, Edgar is alone in his bedroom and wakes up to grab his rosary]
Annie Hoover: [in the air he hears his mothers voice] Stay strong, Edgar.
[Edgar then goes to the mirror as his mother helped teach him to, to get over his childhood stutter, holding out and dressing into his mothers shirt]
Annie Hoover: [again in the air Edgar hears his mothers voice] You stay strong, Edgar.
J. Edgar Hoover: [Edgar screams out and tears apart his rosary in a frantic shiver] Stay strong! Uhh!
[Edgar finally collapses in tears and curls himself in a ball]

[Edgar looks out his balcony window at the newly elected President Richard Nixon, who drives down the crowded street of American citizens]
J. Edgar Hoover: [narrating] When morals decline and good men do nothing, evil flourishes. Every citizen has a duty to learn of this that threatens his home, his children. A society uninterested and unwilling to learn from the past is doomed. We must never forget our history. We must never lower our guard. Even today, there are organizations that have America as their prime target. They would destroy the safety and the happiness of every individual and thrust us into a condition of lawlessness, immorality that passes the imagination.
