Parkland Page #4

Synopsis: Recounting the chaotic events that occurred in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963, Parkland weaves together the perspectives of a handful of ordinary individuals suddenly thrust into extraordinary circumstances: the young doctors and nurses at Parkland Hospital; Dallas' chief of the Secret Service; an unwitting cameraman who captured what became the most watched and examined film in history; the FBI agents who nearly had the gunman within their grasp; the brother of Lee Harvey Oswald, left to deal with his shattered family; and JFK's security team, witnesses to both the president's death and Vice President Lyndon Johnson's rise to power over a nation whose innocence was forever altered.

This is something... Okay.

This is something that the... Word

just came to us a minute ago.

The word we have is that

President Kennedy is dead.

He was shot by an assassin at the intersection

of Elm and Houston Streets just as.

Eternal rest grant

unto him, O Lord,

and let perpetual light

shine upon him.

May he rest

in peace. Amen.

Amen.

Thank you, Father.

Thank you for taking care

of the President.

Please pray for him.

I will.

God bless you.

God bless you.

Father.

God bless...

Thank you.

Let's do this. Why don't we

put our lists together?

We'll split them up

and work down.

I... I got to call you back.

They just picked up somebody in Oak Cliff.

They think he's the shooter.

Shot and killed the

same time as the President

We now have the name

of that suspect

who has been picked up

by Dallas, Texas police

in connection with the slaying

of a Dallas policeman.

The story says the Dallas

Police Department has arrested

a 24 year old man identified

as Lee H. Oswald

in connection with the slaying

of a Dallas policeman

shortly after President

Kennedy was assassinated.

Oswald is also

being interrogated

to see if he had any connection

with the slaying of the President.

Did you hear that?

I did hear that.

Oswald was pulled screaming

and yelling,

from the Texas Theater in the

Oak Cliff section of Dallas.

This story does not say that Oswald

is the man wanted in connection

with the slaying

of the President.

It says that he is

wanted in connection.

Is he talking

about your brother?

Bob?

Is that your brother?

I have to go home.

...has been apprehended.

Police are apparently

questioning both of them now.

J. Edgar Hoover has ordered the full FBI...

What are you saying?

Oh, Christ.

Jim.

Just a minute. Wait.

What? What are you

looking for?

Lee Harvey Oswald.

What is this ?

Why do you have this?

Why the hell

do you...

This has got

to be the guy.

Why the hell

do we have this?

This guy works

in the Depository.

Yeah, a hundred feet from where the

President was shot. For how long?

I don't know. A month?

What do you mean, a month?

How do you know this?

'Cause I'm tracking him.

Tracking him? Jesus!

For how long?

18 months.

Found it!

Come here.

Hosty's been tracking

him 18 months.

What the hell for?

You know, I couldn't

even tell you.

He's just a sorry

son of a b*tch.

He's one of these guys

who says he's a Marxist,

then he's a

revolutionary.

Revolutionary? For who?

Nobody. Nobody wants

this guy.

He defected to the Soviets a

couple years back. Now he's here?

They didn't want him.

Tried to off himself there

They said he could stay

as long as he didn't die.

And I guess he got bored
