Police Chief Arena and the fire department recover Kopechne's body from the car, which they find is registered to Kennedy. The next morning, the overturned vehicle is discovered by father-and-son fishermen, who call the police. Kennedy claims he is having trouble sleeping, but he goes to sleep without contacting the police. He asks the night porter the time, which is 2.25 a.m. His partially-paralyzed father says one word: "alibi." Kennedy sits on the steps outside his room. He goes down to the phone and calls his father Joseph P. He takes a bath, gets dressed, and combs his hair. Kennedy walks past the phone booth outside his hotel and up to his room and gets undressed. They insist Kennedy report the incident immediately, but instead, he gets in a rowing boat, and Gargan and Markham row him to Edgartown, where they go their separate ways. Gargan and Markham attempt multiple times to retrieve Kopechne from the overturned vehicle, but are unable to open any of the doors or windows. He summons Gargan and Markham, and they drive quickly to the bridge. He sits down and cries, before walking back to the cottage. Kennedy climbs out of the vehicle, and calls out to Kopechne, but receives no response. He accidentally drives off the Dike Bridge, causing the car to flip over before it submerges into a pond. Kennedy backs up and drives quickly away. On the road, they encounter a police officer, who asks if they need help.
Kennedy leaves the party with Mary Jo Kopechne. After losing, Kennedy goes to a party at a cottage with five friends and six Boiler Room Girls.
He travels to Chappaquiddick Island, where he meets Gargan and Paul Markham for a sailboat race. Then he phones his cousin Joe Gargan and tells him to book hotel rooms on Martha's Vineyard for the Boiler Room Girls, who worked for Bobby's presidential campaign. Senator Ted Kennedy ( D– MA) is asked in an interview how it feels to stand in the shadow of his dead brothers John and Bobby.
