Killing Kennedy Page #7

every job I've ever had.

Goddamn FBI was following me.

Hey, hey.

That's enough, boy.

Your boss says you left the

building without permission.

There was just so

much excitement

that I didn't think there was gonna

be any more work today, so I left.

I went to the movies.

Miss Paine, we're with the Dallas

County Sheriff's Department.

Mind if we have a look around?

Last time you saw your

husband was yesterday?

Da.

What time was that?

He came in the evening,

and he stayed last night.

Can... Does he have

to touch that?

The kids are sleeping in there.

Did you see him this morning?

Nyet.

Does she speak English?

What?

Does your husband own a rifle?

No, he doesn't.

Excuse me. That is

personal property. Okay?

Can you please put the...

Da. Yes.

In the garage?

The garage!

Here?

Hey, Jack, I was just headed

over to the Carousel.

It's closed. Closed for the

whole weekend in honor of...

I keep thinking about

Mrs. Kennedy.

The poor woman's going to have

to come back here for a trial.

She's gonna have

to go through all...

You okay, Jack?

Yeah. No... Yeah, yeah.

Get a look at that creep yet?

No, but I think they're bringing

him out for the press pretty soon.

Thanks, Harry.

That's him! Did you kill

the President, Mr. Oswald?

I'd like some

legal representation.

These police officers have

not allowed me to have any.

I... I don't know

what this is all about.

Did you kill the President? No, sir,

and people keep asking me that.

Did you shoot the President?

I work in that building.

Were you in the

building at that time?

Naturally, if I work

in the building, yes, sir.

Did you shoot the President?

No, they're taking me in because of

the fact I lived in the Soviet Union.

Sir!

I'm just a patsy.

No, no, they treatin' me fine.

Alik...

Why? Why would you do this?

This is a mistake.

This is all a mistake.

I'll have a trial.

I'm gonna show 'em all.

You mustn't worry

about me, Mama.

Come on. Get up.

I'm gonna be fine.

You kiss Junie and

Rachel for me? Hmm?

Oswald is being transported

this morning to the county jail.

Here he comes now.

Captain Fritz, is this the man you

believe killed President Kennedy?

I think we have the right man.

Okay, you wait

right here, Sheba.

Here we go!

There he is! There he is!

The man who shot Lee Oswald has been

identified as Jack Ruby. R-U-B-Y.

He runs a place in Dallas

called the Carousel Club,

which is a kind of

a strip joint and nightclub.

Here comes Oswald.

He is ashen and

unconscious at this time.

Now being moved in.

He's not moving.

The accused assassin of the President

and slayer of Officer Tippit,

24-year old Lee Harvey Oswald,

also went to his grave today

in a secret, almost unattended

funeral at Fort Worth.

The shooting,

which forever sealed his lips

and may have prevented police

from ever getting the full story

of what was behind the assassination

of the President of the United States.

We don't have any pallbearers.

Come on, boys.

So now he is a legend,

when he would've

preferred to be a man.

Jack used to love to listen to the album

from the Broadway musical Camelot.

King Arthur and Lady Guinevere.

He'd listen to it at night

before falling asleep.

He loved the final line.

"Don't let it be forgot

"that once there was a spot,

"for one brief shining moment,

"that was known as Camelot."
