Killing Kennedy Page #5

Yes, of course.

I'm all set. My car will

take me to the airport.

Oh, Jackie.

I was so stupid.

Jack.

I already lost two.

I wasn't ready to

lose another one.

It's not your fault.

God called him back,

our baby Patrick.

We had him for two days.

He was a beautiful baby.

And he fought so hard.

Like a Kennedy.

Well, you'll go away

for two weeks,

get out on the water,

enjoy the Greek Islands.

I want you to rest.

And... Look at me.

I want you to be very careful

around that Onassis character.

And then I want you

to come back to me.

Of course I will.

The one thing

I could never bear

would be to lose you.

You say you just found

a job here in Dallas?

Yes, ma'am, that's right.

Are you married?

No.

I mean, yes, I was, ma'am.

Well, this will be your room, Mr...

Mr. Lee you said?

That's right. Lee.

OH Lee.

Well, make yourself comfortable.

I contacted the CIA.

Said he visited the Cuban Embassy

and maybe the

Soviet Embassy as well.

What is he, some kind of spy?

They don't know what he is.

They think he may have gone back

to Dallas. They're not sure.

All right, well, I'll try

to find this Oswald fellow.

Ruth Paine?

Yes. Can I help you?

Hi. I'm Special Agent James Hosty,

Federal Bureau of Investigation.

I'm looking for Lee Oswald.

Do you mind if I come in?

Yes, please come in.

Thank you.

Their friend George introduced us,

and Marina and I became friends.

So when she and Lee

had their problems,

I went down to New Orleans and brought

her back here to have her baby.

And Mr. Oswald is still

in New Orleans?

No. He lost his job there,

so he came back.

He's living here?

No, I won't allow that.

And Marina won't either.

He keeps some of his things

out in my garage,

and he comes weekends

to see his girls.

But Marina doesn't

want him here.

Do you know where he is?

I should think he's at work.

Where does he work?

At the Texas School

Book Depository.

Marina, this is FBI Agent Hosty.

FBI?

No, he's not here to harm you.

No. No, our job is

to protect people.

You find Oswald?

Sort of. I know where he's working,

but I don't know where he's living.

He'll show up sooner or later.

I missed you, kid.

I missed you, too.

Maybe you'll come

on the road with me?

Come to Texas,

help me with the campaign?

Of course I will, Jack.

I'll campaign with you

anywhere you want.

Good. We'll be back on the 25th, in

time for John Junior's birthday.

Excuse me.

Mister?

Is that a 6.5 Italian carbie?

Yeah.

And is that

a four-power scope?

Yes, it is.

You'll get that good. Just a

little more practice is all.

Now, what did I tell you

about the chamber?

You always got to empty it

when you lay the gun down.

Alik?

What?

Junka wants to know why her papa

hasn't played with her today.

All right, okay. I'll be

there in just a minute.

We wouldn't have this problem

if Ruth would let me live here.

Just mind your

business, Marina.

Go.

What do you say, Jack?

Hey, Harry, how are you?

Mike.

I volunteered to

work the parade

so I can get a good look

at President Kennedy.

Who wants to see that traitor?

He should be shot.

Hey, I like Kennedy. How can

you say something like that?

I mean, in my own place,

about our beloved president.

And the both of them, the

President and Mrs. Kennedy.

I love them.

I love them both.

Hey. Hey, TORY!

What the hell's wrong

with you, huh?

Can't you see my friends

need some drinks here?

What are you, blind?

I'm sorry, Mr. Ruby.

Don't apologize. Just take

care of my pals here, okay?

Come on, let's go.

Chop chop.

Air Force One arrives

at Love Field at 11:40 a.m.

The President and First Lady will

be met by Johnson and Lady Bird,

Governor Connally and his wife.

We allow a few minutes

for the receiving line.

So around noon, the motorcade

leaves the airport.

We stay about 30 miles

an hour out by the airport.

So, it's downtown

around 20 minutes later.

Now, the parade will travel

down Main Street here.

We slow to 15 miles an hour

so the crowds can get

a good look at Lancer.

These tail buildings on either

side, this is like a canyon.

There's more than 20,000 windows

along this parade route.

We'll be sitting ducks.

We have to assume the President's car

will be open, unless it's raining.

Here at Dealey Plaza,

we make a right on Houston.

Can't we avoid this?

There's a 120-degree

turn onto Elm.

It's gonna slow the

motorcade down to a crawl.

No. The only way under the

Stemmons Freeway is from Elm.

This town makes me nervous.

You know Dallas is the murder

capital of the country.

We did a thorough check of

active threats to the President.

There are none in Texas.

We checked with the FBI.

Nothing came up.

Yeah. Let's pray for rain.

The city

of Dallas is busy preparing

for the President

and First Lady's visit.

We don't have

all the details yet,

but we do know that the

President and First Lady

will drive through downtown on the

way to the Dallas Trade Mart,

where the President

will give a speech.

We'll keep you updated

as we learn more.

Frazier, can I get a ride

home with you after work?

Yeah, of course,

like I told you.

You can get a ride

any time you want.

Hey, Lee, you don't see your girls

till Friday. It's Thursday.

I just gotta pick up

some curtain rods.

Hi.

Alik.

I'm lonesome for my girls.

You only come weekends,

not now.

Mama, please don't be that way.

Please, Mama. I miss you.

I miss our girls. I'm lonely.

You're always lonely, Alik.

We can start over, you know?

We can. I promise you, I'll

be so different this time.

You never different.

Please. I can be.

For you, I can be.

I'll buy you that washing

machine that you always wanted.

Nyet.

Mama, I'm begging you.

If you say no to me again,

I'm gonna...

This is the last time

that I will ever ask you.

Please.

If Ruth says yes,

you can stay tonight.

But I won't return to you.

It's raining, Mr. President.

It's too bad.

Thank you, George.

Have you seen this?

Yeah. We're headed

into nut country today.

Ah! My favorite.

I know.

Those rich Texas society women,

they're gonna eat you up.

If it's so important

I look good,

why do I have to be blown

around in a motorcade

with you and Governor

Connally first?

I am so glad that you are here.

It's so much better

when you're here.

'Cause the one thing

I couldn't bear

would be to lose you.

Morning, Lee.

What's in the package?

Curtain rods.

I wish it would just rain

or quit altogether.

If it's raining in Dallas, we'll

want a bubble top on the limo.

They say it's going

to clear up.

Okay. If it does, no bubble.

Well, be sure to get that in.

Good morning, Lyndon.

Mr. President.

The Presidential

party will leave

Fort Worth on a quick

flight to Dallas,

where the motorcade will travel through

downtown on their way to the Trade Mart.

Good morning!

This crowd started gathering

out here quite early this morning

to ensure a good vantage point.

Air Force Number One,

ladies and gentlemen,
