I want all Secret Service

If you don't need to be here,

get out of this room! Now!

FBI, Secret Service

out of the room!

We need

some room to work.

You're going. Out, out, out.

Jesus.

How's the blood pressure?

I'm here!

What is that? A trach?

That's a wound.

Get that tube

out of his mouth!

We need to increase air volume into his

lungs since we have a hole already. Knife.

Hold pressure.

Got it.

Wait, what's that?

Lumbar support? Why the back brace?

What's wrong with him?

I don't care what it is.

Get it off!

Cut it off

please, nurse.

Okay, bilateral,

I need chest tubes now!

Get some lets

in here please.

Bob, I need you

right here!

Out, please. Out.

Thank you.

Okay?

Stand back. We

need room to work.

Got that down there?

You better get

a priest in here.

That's him.

Mr. Zapruder,

I'm Forrest Sorrels,

special agent in charge

of the Dallas district

of the United States

Secret Service.

Sir, did you tell Harry you took

film of the motorcade today?

Yes. So you did, sir. You

did film the motorcade.

I said yes.

And where were you

standing at the time?

I was on the concrete block

over there.

This first one, right here. Yes.

Now were you filming before

the President was shot?

Sir, where you filming before

the President was shot? Yeah.

So you were standing on top

of this, sir. Is that right?

You couldn't have been

more than 30 yards away.

Sir, would you allow me to take

that film into my possession?

Right now, there are people out

there who are ready to start a war.

The film is that camera is

the only way we have to know

what happened out here today.

You understand that?

It's a matter

of national security.

I need to think.

Sir, I'm no longer asking.

The Dallas News

can develop it.

Let's go.

Clear the way.

Nurse.

Can we get

some tape here?

Admiral George Burkley, the

President's personal physician.

The President has Addison's Disease.

He'll need these.

I have him

on the leg.

Injection is fine.

What's the story

on the priest?

He's on the way.

This is it.

No can do.

What do you mean?

That's eight mil. We process 35 stills.

That's it.

You got to be kidding me.

Harry? I didn't know.

Try WFA next door.

There's a Kodak lab out

by Love Field.

A lot more gauze.

Yeah, here.

Let me listen.

I don't hear anything.

You feel anything down there?

Nothing, resume.

Still have no pulse.

Mrs. Kennedy.

Mrs. Kennedy.

Uh, basin?

That's a piece of his skull,

and some brain matter.

Let me listen,

let me listen.

No pulse here.

Come on.

Jim...

Jim, you got nothing

to work with.

Jim.

It's time to stop.

I'm calling it.

It's one p.m.

Jackie...

Jackie...

Jackie... it's time

to say good-bye.

Someone please tell me

what's next.

We, uh...

We need a coffin.

Excuse me.

Parkland just called.

He's dead.

Mr. President.

He's gone.

We need to get

in the air.

Hey, we belong

to Johnson now.

The whole federal

government belongs to him.

When Johnson goes, everyone

has to go with him.

Who stays with Jackie? Jackie

isn't chief executive.

Nor is she related

to one... anymore.

I'm not going

anywhere without her.

Let us recall for you

now what has transpired.

KRLD is reporting that they

have been told by somebody

in the hospital

that the President is dead.

Well, that is a repeat

of something

that you heard reported to you directly

a moment ago from KRLD in Dallas.

Ana' that is the rumor

that has reached them

at the hotel

that the President is dead.

I need to go

call my wife.

Look, if you want to

stay, you can stay.

If you want to go home

and be with your family...

Go be with your family.

We do not know

what his condition is,

but the report is

that the President is dead.

This is not confirmed.

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

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...
