Parkland Page #6

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.

Go!

Go, go!

Who are they?

Dallas police

and the FBI.

You sure attract

a crowd.

He can ride with me.

He came with us.

He's leaving with us.

Easy.

Yeah, he said

to meet him here.

Gentlemen,

thank you very much.

We need three copies.

One for the Secret Service. One

for the FBI, and one for me.

Let me through.

Excuse me.

Hold it.

Excuse me.

What are you doing?

Who are you?

I'm the medical examiner.

This is a homicide case.

The deceased can't leave until

there's been an autopsy.

This casket cannot leave

the premises.

I'm the special agent in charge of the

White House detail for the Secret Service.

That is the President

of the United States

and we are taking him

back to Washington.

That's not the way we

do things around here.

It's a Federal crime.

No, it is not. There's

no Federal statue.

It's a murder,

it's local,

and it's under

local jurisdiction.

Earl, be very careful here.

That is my body.

The President

is coming with us.

You can't take him. We

have laws here in Texas.

The law

can be waived.

Not by me.

I can't do it.

Earl, let him go.

Do you have any idea...

any idea how difficult this

has been for Mrs. Kennedy?

I deal with widows

everyday!

The remains

will stay here.

I don't think so.

The remains...

What did you call it,

your body?

The hell with you, and

the hell with your law.

Move it out!

The Dallas police is here to execute

the laws of the state of Texas!

Screw the lid

on that coffin now!

Let it go.

You cannot take it.

It's against the law

to remove

a corpse from the State

of Texas without permission!

Enough!

You cannot fake it

We're leaving.

Move!

It's okay, Earl.

You did right.

What a shitty place

to die.

You're not driving.

What are you talking about?

Don't.

Please, allow me.

It's okay.

Ma'am.

Bob Dugger, ma'am.

God bless you.

They're five minutes out.

Where we putting

the coffin?

I don't know.

I never thought about it.

We're not flying it below

like a piece of luggage.

We're riding it

right here.

Let's get these two rows

of seats off the plane.

Look for a tool box. Get some

tools up here, and bodies!

Six bolts.

I need a screwdriver.

We go! four minutes.

Six bolts tie it

to the fuselage.

You got it?

You got them?

One, two, three.

Go, go, go.

Let's go.

Watch it.

Watch the back.

Come on.

Come on you guys.

Let's just get the hell

out of here.

All right, come on.

Here we go.

Keep the back end up.

Keep the back end up!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Watch that corner. You're

not going to make it.

Let's go.

Come on.

Push it.

All right, come on.

Easy.

Put it down.

Slow...

Dear God.

This work okay, Dave?

This is just fine, Lem.
