"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."

"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?"

"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." "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."

"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 if." "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 Bugger, ma'am." "God bless you." "They're five minutes out."

"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." "This is the first time the Secret Services has lost a president under its watch." "I think it may be months from now." "Hello, excuse me." "I'm sorry." "I'm Robert Oswald." "The man who shot the President, I'm his brother." "Jackie." "I will faithfully execute..." "The office of President of the United States..." "The office of President of the United States..."

"Let's go." "This room is bugged." "Be careful." "I don't care." "If you know anything about this," "I want to know what you know right now." "And no damn stories." "Well, I always knew Lee was some sort of secret agent." "Didn't you?" "What are you talking about?" "They recruited him when he was in the Marines." "Who's they?" "And what possibly for?" "We did." "The U.S. government did." "He was sent on dangerous missions." "The first was to Russia." "Okay, okay, let me get this straight." "Lee, our Lee... is a super secret government spy?" "Mm-hmm." "Come back from Russia with a 21 year old wife." "She doesn't speak English." "He can't hold a job." "They have two kids and not a pot to piss in." "That's impressive." "That is a dangerous fellow, Lee." "And then what?" "You know." "You're insane." "Don't you speak to your mother like that." "Lee Harvey Oswald has done more for his country than any other living human being." "I will never be ordinary again!" "I was thinking when I was waiting for you about that book I'm going to write." "What book?" "It will have to be very deeply researched." "A publisher, with money, will have to come with a paid writer to do the work." "Mother..." "I just want to make sure you understand what is happening here today." "Your son, my brother... has apparently killed the most important person in the world." "And if that is true, he is going to die for what he has done." "It's my story, too." "There he is." "There's Oswald." "Oswald say, "I did not shoot anybody."" "Hold on." "Hold on." "I remember this guy." "Hey, Adam?" "What?" "He was here." "Who was here?" "Oswald was here, in the office." "He left something for Hasty." "Oh, Christ." "Jesus." "Mrs. Oswald!" "Mrs. Oswald!" "Mrs. Oswald!" "Did he do it?" "Mrs. Oswald." "Your mother's a piece of work, I'll give her that." "I don't know what we're going to do." "I've got two kids." "Well, we're all fathers." "You, me... the police officer your brother shot point blank." "The President." "Well, they were." "If I were you," "I'd consider changing my name." "I'd pray I never needed the help of the Dallas Police Department or the Federal government again." "I'd pack your things and your wife and those two children of yours, and I'd move as far from here as I could." "I'd never come back, even to die." "But... that's just me." "Oswald has been charged with the murder of a police officer." "Where the hell have you been?" "I was out doing my job." "Doing your job, huh?" "What's this?" "Shit, I get three of these things every week." "This one's from Oswald." "Oswald left this for you ten days ago." ""You've been talking to my wife Marina and I don't like you." ""You need to stop talking to Marina" ""or there will be a price to pay."" "I've got 100 of these things." "It says that he's going to blow up the office." "Three times a week I get shit like this." "But this was written by the assassin of the President!" "And it was delivered to this office in person ten days go, Jim, which means we had the assassin of the President in our office threatening a Federal officer, which is a crime Not ten days ago." "We did not have the assassin of the President." "For which he could be arrested." "We had another goddamn delusional nobody!" "Yeah, well he's a somebody now!" "Never said one word about killing the President!" "No, Only you!" "Well, if I worried about every son of a bitch who wants to shoot me," "I'm in the wrong goddamn business!" "Listen." "The world is not going to care about you." "They're going to say that we had him." "We had him, and we could have stopped him!" "Jesus Christ." "This might be, probably is, now that I think about it the biggest fuck-up in the history of American law enforcement." "Fuck!" "You, follow me." "All right, give me your hands." "Need some help with that?" "No, I got it." "I need some help from you to shut up." "Sit down, Lee!" "How are you?" "I don't think you've ever asked me that question in my life." "I'm really confused." "Maybe you can tell me what-what..." "What is going on?" "I don't know." "They have your pistol, they have your rifle, and they've charged you and you're telling me you don't know." "God damn it, just tell me what you did." "Don't believe all this so-called evidence." "What's Marina going to do with the kids now?" "I don't know." "Well, we have friends." "Junie needs new shoes." "Oh, she needs new shoes." "How about a goddamn father?" "How about a killer for a father?" "How about the killer of the President for a father?" "You're worried about shoes." "Do you have any idea what you've done?" "You've ruined that kid's life." "Both those kids' lives!" "So forget the goddamn stupid shoes!" "Can you hear me?" "Put' the phone to your ear, all right?" "Look at me." "I'm sorry." "Well, I'm going to get you a lawyer."

"Don't be running back and forth all the time and getting yourself in trouble with your boss." "Time to go." "What did he say?" "I don't know." "I have no idea who that was." "Thank you, sir." "It's been ringing all night." "Everybody wants that film." "Hello?" "I'd like to speak to Mr. Zapruder, please." "This is Abraham Zapruder." "My name is Dick Stolley." "I'm the editor of Life magazine." "I'd like to talk to you tonight about your film." "You know what?" "Not tonight." "No." "I'm very tired." "I'm upset." "It's been an upsetting day."

"For some final reflection on one of the more horrible days in American history, you find there is a great deal that could be said about the political and other changes that we can look forward to now, but I think it' would be bad taste to go into it' now." "And I won't." "It has all been shocking." "By the Washington clock, at a little after one o'clock this afternoon," "President Kennedy was alive as any human being ever gets, young, strong, vigorous, looking forward to, no doubt, five more years, he hoped of leadership in this country and of the western world." "There is no more news here tonight, and really no more to say, except that was has happened today has been just too much, too ugly, and too fast." "Good morning, lam Dr. Perry." "What seems to be bothering you?" "How's our patient doing?" "Fine." "And our resident?" "Okay, good." "Turn off the lights please." "Jesus Christ." "We blew it." "Shut up!" "Did you see that?"

"Yeah, I know who you are." "My father brought my family over here 40 years ago to escape certain death." "We worked hard, built a good, honest life." "An American life." "Sir, we'd like to talk to you about making a deal." "But I guess all of that is over." "Nothing is ever going to be the same." "I wish I never took this film, Mr. Stolley." "But now I'm going to have to live with it." "Don '2' make a deal without talking to us first, sir." "I admire you, you know." "I've been to war." "Know what it's like to use a camera." "You kept shooting." "No, no." "It wasn't a war, Mr. Stolley." "I filmed a murder." "Mr. Zapruder, we're going to slip an offer underneath the door." "God, if I open this door, it is going to be impossible for both of us." "Don't make me negotiate with those people." "Don't make me go out there." "Life magazine is just as anxious as you are to give your pictures a respectable display." "Mr. Zapruder, CBS." "Well, that is why you are standing in this room, Mr. Stolley, because I trust that." "I trust your magazine." "And I want to say very clearly" "I know what this is, and what it's done." "What it is going to do." "So if you want a chance to do the right thing with this film then you're going to have to pay for it." "You have to pay to keep it safe and to protect me and my family." "I think I understand." "And one other thing." "When the President is..." "when he's" "The kill shot?" "Yeah." "You will publish those frames?" "Because I think you would agree, some things the world does not need to see." "Would you not?" "Normally yes, but in this case missing frames could lead to false speculation." "That is none of my business." "I don't..." "I don't care about all of that." "I'm talking about the man's dignity." "We have a responsibility." "A dignified man, you understand." "It's a very undignified end for a very dignified man!" "You have something to write on?" "There is the prisoner." "There is Lee Harvey Oswald." "What'?" "He has been shot!" "He's been shot." "Lee Oswald has been shot!" "There's a man with a gun." "Oswald has been shot!" "Right now." "Jesus Christ, right on live TV." "God damn!" "Absolute panic here at headquarters." "Oswald has been shot." "There is no question." "Oswald has been shot." "Detectives have their guns drawn." "We have not heard from Mr. Stolley or his associates at Life magazine since yesterday evening." "And Lee Oswald's wife and children and I... are stranded alone at a strange motel in the middle of nowhere." "We are waiting to hear about our cash deal." "Thank you." "I shall be waiting right here." "We are the Mrs. Oswalds." "We need money." "We need a place to stay where we can hide from everyone and we need a new place to live, dear heart." "All we do is rush around from one place to another, in the grand exodus." "The baby's diapers are wet." "We are hungry as all get out." "Mother!" "Hey, Mike." "Get out here." "Something's going on." "They're running around outside." "Don't get excited." "Lee's been shot." "It isn't serious." "And they got the man who shot him." "Where are they taking him?" "Parkland." "No!" "He is not living or dying in there." "Room two!" "How many bullets?" "Where's the respirator?" "Where's Perry?" "Gauze." "There's Clark." "What's the blood pressure?" "100 over 85." "It's going down." "I don't like this." "Let's open him up." "We're going to need some suction." "Get suction ready." "From one bullet?" "Yeah, one point blank." "Let's start left, go right." "Right kidney gone, spleen gone." "We're going to have to get in there." "Right there." "Need more gauze." "Got it." "BP 100 over 85." "We might get to keep this one." "Do we want to?" "We need a confession." "What if he dies?" "We need a confession first." "Don't we all." "Damn it!" "Blood pressure is going down." "85 over 40." "We need more blood!" "Nurse." "Zero, nothing." "I've got the lung." "Massage the heart." "Nothing." "Adrenalin now." "Adrenalin!" "Come on!" "All right, Jim hold it right there." "Open!" "Nothing." "Jim, paddles!" "Paddles." "Paddles." "Paddles." "200." "Clear." "Nothing." "Again." "360." "Clear." "Nothing." "Still nothing." "500." "Clear." "Nothing." "700." "Clear." "Time." "1:07." "Dammit." "Yes, this is Mike Howard." "I'm sorry, will you repeat that?" "Thank you." "He's gone?" "I'm sorry, Robert." "Lee was an agent for the U.S. government." "He should be buried at Arlington Cemetery with President Kennedy." "Shut up, mother." "He's staying here." "This time, I don't think anyone's going to give you a hard time." "Your name is Robert." "Is that right, son?" "That's right." "I'm sorry for you." "I'm sorry for everybody." "... a brief stop at the White House." "Then Mrs. Kennedy followed the casket on foot... to St. Matthews Church." "I don't think you all should listen to this." "No, please leave it." "Thank you." "Bring him in." "Close the blinds for me." "We're getting killed, Jim." "What happened in this office..." "What we did..." "what you did..." "What do you want, Gordon?" "You were in the military, right, Jim?" "Yeah, Army." "Are you firing me?" "I don't ever want to see that again." "What the hell am I supposed to do with it?" "Oswald's dead now." "A thousand what-ifs." "86 'em." "This is evidence." "Well it's not evidence if there's no trial." "And there sure as shit won't be a trial now." "I know what that is, Jim." "I'm asking you to destroy it." "I think we all know what is at stake here." "Wait..." "You want this?" "Why aren't we doing this in the church?" "Well, no church will do it." "What about that cemetery chapel over there?" "They won't allow it either." "You only have this grave site because a friend owed me a favor." "And I'm sorry, but there are no pallbearers." "Can you help us, please?" "Thank you." "The remains of John F. Kennedy are about to pass a memorial to another president." "The stamina of this woman... through these past three or four days has been indescribable." "I haven '2' done a burial in eight years, but someone has to help this family." "God of the open sky and of the infinite universe, we pray and petition for this family who are heartbroken." "Those who suffer and in his hearts are full of fears." "We'll pray for them." "For their need is great." "May God have mercy on your soul." "or if these dark days are harbingers of even blacker ones to come," "Might the black before the dawn... lead to some still as yet indiscernible sunrise of understanding among men." "Violent words, no matter what their origin or motivation..." "Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee." "Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus." "Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death." "Tonight, there will be few Americans who will go to bed without carrying with them the sense that somehow they have failed." "If in the search of our conscience we find a new dedication to the American concept that brook no political, sectional, religious or racial divisions." "Ana' it may yet be possible to say that John Fitzgerald Kennedy did not die in vain." "That's the way it is, Monday, November 25th, 1963." "This is Walter Cronkite." "Good night."
