Parkland Page #5

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.

with that, came back.

Fain did the follow up

interviews on it.

Yeah, a couple of them. Figured there was

nothing there so he closed the file.

It was right before

he retired.

Wife's Russian,

so I checked up on her.

Oswald was knocking her around some. That's

why I put him back on the active list.

You actually

interview him?

No, he was never around.

When was the last time

you tried?

Two weeks ago.

Two weeks ago?

Yeah.

I saw the wife.

Saw the wife.

Well, today...

her husband

killed the President.

Which one is Sorrels?

I am.

This is Secret Service business.

Let me see it.

F 1.8 zoom lens set for full close up.

So, can you do it?

8 mil is tricky. There's always a risk

with new technology. A risk of what?

8 mil is really

16 mil split in two.

Each frame is really

four frames together.

Two running one way,

two running the other.

It means twice the risk of

overexposure or destruction.

And there's always a percentage of the film

partially or fully destroyed in the process.

Have you done much of

this type of thing?

Three, maybe

four times.

And how'd that go?

Look we can still send it

to Rochester if you want.

We need to know

who's behind this.

We don't have

that kind of time.

Listen, I'm temporarily

transferring possession to you.

Nobody looks at it

until we do,

and nobody talks

about what's on there.

Mr. Zapruder. Is that

okay with you? Yes.

Okay.

You okay?

I'm upset.

We're all upset.

Latest news from Dallas.

Vice-President Johnson

is being rushed to the

security of Air Force One

for an emergency return

to Washington.

Nobody knows at this hour if the

shooting is part of a wider plot

or the act

of one assassin.

in Washington, nuclear missile

silos are being prepared.

Polaris submarine

remain deployed,

and the United States Air Force

around the globe is on high alert.

I have to go.

We may have the shooter.

Do not screw me, Harry!

I don't want, what's on that

film all over the papers.

Film stays with Zapruder.

No matter what anybody says,

no matter what's on it,

film doesn't leave you.

Volunteer returning to Angel!

We're leaving now!

Let's go!

Everyone ready?

You all know

what's on here, right?

Ana' you're sure

you're ready?

I'm ready.

That's my granddaughter.

I'm sorry. I forgot.

My grandson.

It's your life,

Mr. Zapruder.

Looks like a good life.

Oh, God.

My God.

You have everything.

You have the whole

god damn thing.

Oh, my God.

We're going to need

some copies of that.

I don't have

the right machinery.

You're going to have

to go somewhere else.

Mr. Zapruder.

I wish you luck, sir.

Do not stop!

Go, go, go!

All clear!

This way, sir.
