Original subtitles

I had a life too, you know!

You can't bury your head in the sand like an ostrich, Liz!

It's not about our well-being, our two cars, our TVs and your kitchen!

It's about our kids growing up in a shithole of lies. I'm angry!

My life is fucked because of it.

If you could see it that way, you'd see your life is fucked too.

You never talked to me this way.

If you don't want to support me, fine.

But don't make threats about taking the children.

I'm leaving you!

- I'm taking the children! - Go on! Get out!

- I am! - Go hide!

Join the rest! They'll say I'm crazy.

Plenty of people will tell you I'm crazy.

You won't have any problems filling out divorce papers.

But somebody's got to try, goddamn it!

Somebody!

Are we going away, Daddy?

I don't know, Jasper.

Because of Kennedy?

Will the same people kill us, Papa?

Nobody will kill us.

I'm scared.

I don't like it when you and Mommy fight.

I don't like it either, honey.

Why do we have to leave?

Don't you love us anymore?

Daddy loves you both.

There's nothing wrong with feeling a little scared, Jasper.

Telling the truth can be a scary thing sometimes.

It scared President Kennedy, and he was a brave man.

But if you let yourself be too scared...

...then you let the bad guys take over the country.

Then everybody gets scared.

Stay with Mom, Papa.

Please.

Here's another.

The US Attorney in Washington declines to serve our subpoena...

...on Allen Dulles, Charles Cabell, CIA Director Richard Helms, any FBI agent.

What'd you expect from a pig but a grunt?

Now it'll be near impossible to prove Shaw's connection to the CIA.

What's going on?

We've never been refused an extradition request.

Let's get Julia Ann Mercer in here.

No, she could get hurt.

Look what's happening to other people.

She's the best witness we have.

I just don't want to do it. Now, what else?

You got your hate mail here. And your fan mail here.

The bad news is that the IRS requested an audit of your income from this office.

I expected that two months ago. They're wasting their time.

The bad news is the National Guard just asked me to resign after 18 years.

Maybe that's the good news. Never was as good as combat.

But this is.

Any more on Oswald or Shaw?

They were seen together in Clinton in early September.

The Civil Rights Movement was running a voter's registration drive.

Rumor is, Shaw was working on some arms deal...

...to discredit the Civil Rights Movement.

Nobody really knows what they were doing there, but...

...hell, they stood out like cotton balls.

I got whites and coloreds that saw them there.

Last time I checked, it was not illegal to register to vote.

We still got the...

...the junkie, Vernon Bundy, who saw him talking at the sea wall.

This is tough. No one wants to talk about Shaw.

You keep saying that.

- I keep saying what? - You're not digging deep enough.

You want to do my job! You do my job, I'll do your job.

I think Clinton is a breakthrough now.

Shaw denies ever knowing Oswald, right?

That proves he's a liar.

- Keep on it, Bill. - This is the interesting part.

Oswald went to see the FBI two weeks...

...before the assassination.

May I see Special Agent Hosty?

He's not in. Can someone else help you?

Special Agent Hosty made three visits to Janet Williams' house...

...to keep an eye on Marina. He left a note.

Hosty told a newspaperman it was a warning...

...to stop questioning Marina when Oswald was not present.

She was not a citizen, so possibly he was threatening to deport her to Russia.

But what the note really said, no one knows.

Hosty tore it up and flushed it down the toilet.

This is just speculation.

But what if the note described the assassination attempt on JFK?

Come on, think!

That's the only reason to destroy it.

If it was a threat like Hosty said, they would have kept it.

It makes their case against the angry, lone nut that much stronger.

Remember the meeting with Agent Quigley...

...the day he was arrested?

Quigley destroyed the notes from the interview.

We can raise the possibility that Oswald was not only an informant...

...but he may have been the original source for the telex dated November 17...

...warning of Kennedy's assassination in Dallas on November 22.

William Walter, the FBI night clerk, gave me a copy.

It went all over the country. Nothing was done.

The motorcade went ahead on schedule. The Warren Report didn't mention it.

"A militant group may attempt to assassinate President Kennedy...

"...on his proposed trip to Dallas, Texas."

Shortly after the assassination...

...Walter says the telex was removed from all the files...

...as an obvious embarrassment to the Bureau.

I believe Oswald sent information through Hosty.

I have a hunch Oswald had infiltrated this group:

Cubans or right-wing extremists.

He was told to be at the Book Depository that day...

...to either prevent the assassination or take part in it.

Either they told him they'd close down the plotters...

...or simulate an attack...

...on Kennedy to whip up public opinion...

...so Kennedy would have to reverse his policies on communism.

What they told him doesn't matter.

He was under orders.

He was a foot soldier.

You can't miss. He is a dead duck.

I don't buy it.

Why would the FBI cover it up?

A telex disappears from every FBI office in this country?

There's a word, Bill.

- Orders. - Or a cover-up.

Don't you have enough proof of the FBI's complicity yet?

I respect this country's institutions!

How the hell can you keep a conspiracy going...

...between the mob, CIA, FBI, Army intelligence and who knows what else...

...when you can't keep a secret in this room between 12 people?

I mean, we got leaks everywhere.

We are going to trial, y'all!

What the hell do we really got?

Oswald, Ruby, Banister, and Ferrie are dead.

Maybe Shaw is an agent. I don't know.

But as a covert operator...

...he is wide open for blackmail because of his homosexuality.

Shaw's our toehold. I don't know or care exactly how he fits.

But he's lying through his teeth. I won't let go of him.

That's why you're going to trial against Clay Shaw?

You will lose!

We should investigate our Mafia leads here.

I can buy that easier than I can the government.

Ruby is all mob, knows Oswald, sets him up.

Hoffa, Trafficante, Marcello, they hire some guns and do Kennedy.

The government doesn't want to open up a whole can of worms...

...because it used the mob to try to get Castro.

Castro being assassinated by the mob by us...

...sounds wild to John Q. Citizen.

So they close the book on JFK.

Makes perfect sense to me.

I don't doubt their involvement at a low level.

Could the mob change the parade route?

Or eliminate the protection for the President?

Could the mob send Oswald to Russia and get him back?

Get the FBI, the CIA and the Dallas Police to mess up the investigation?

Get the Warren Commission appointed to cover it up?

Wreck the autopsy? Influence the national media to go to sleep?

Since when has the mob used anything but.38's for hits up close?

The mob wouldn't have the guts or the power for something of this magnitude.

Assassins need payrolls...

...schedules, times, orders.

This was a military-style ambush.

A coup d'騁at with Lyndon Johnson waiting in the wings.

You're saying Lyndon Johnson was involved? The President?

Johnson got $1 billion for his friends, Brown and Root...

...to dredge Cam Ranh Bay in Vietnam.

Boss, are you calling the President a murderer?

If I'm so far from the truth, why is the FBI bugging our offices?

Why are witnesses being bought off and murdered?

Why are federal agencies blocking our extraditions and subpoenas?

I don't know.

Maybe there's some rogue element in the government.

With a full-blown cover-up?

You ever read Shakespeare?

I do.

Julius Caesar?

"Brutus and Cassius, they too are honorable men."

Who killed Caesar?

Ten or twelve Senators.

All it takes is one Judas.

A few people on the inside. Pentagon, CIA.

This is Louisiana.

How do you know who your daddy is? 'Cause your mama told you so.

You are taking a crap in the wind.

And I am not going along on this one.

I've had my doubts all along about Bill.

He's been fighting us.

We need him back.

He wasted a month trying to prove...

...that mob boys like Jack Ruby are hooked up with Hunt Oil.

- I don't trust him. - I will not hear this.

I value Bill as much as any person here.

It's time we made room for someone else's ideas, including me.

Maybe Oswald is what everyone says he is, and I'm...

...just plain dumb about it.

I've seen him copying files here late at night.

- I don't trust him. - Did you two hear me?

I won't tolerate staff infighting.

I'm afraid I cannot work with Bill Broussard anymore.

Is this an ultimatum?

Are you giving me an ultimatum?

If that's what you want to call it.

I never thought it'd come to this.

I guess I am.

I won't have any ultimatum put to me, Lou. I'll accept your resignation.

You sure got it.

You are one stubborn son of a bitch.

You're making a big mistake.

Boss, aren't you being a little hard?

No, I don't think I am.

Anyone else?

Now, Jerry, here's Jim Garrison...

...the District Attorney of New Orleans, Louisiana.

APPLAUSE

Welcome, District Attorney Garrison.

You're investigating the murder of President Kennedy.

We have heard some strange things coming out of your office.

First, we heard that Cuban exiles killed the President.

Then the mob...

Your latest theory seems to be that the CIA and the FBI...

...and the Pentagon...

...and the White House all combined in an elaborate conspiracy to kill Kennedy.

Is there anyone besides Lee Harvey Oswald...

...who you think didn't conspire to kill the President?

Let's just say this, Jerry...

...l've stopped beating my wife.

Maybe you should ask Lyndon Johnson. He has some answers.

There have been a number of reports in reputable news media...

...Time, Newsweek, our own NBC...

...that you've gone beyond legal means as a prosecutor...

...that you've intimidated, even drugged witnesses...

...bribed them, and urged them to commit perjury.

Do you have a response?

Your faith in the veracity of the major media is touching.

It indicates that the age of innocence is not yet over.

But ask yourself...

...if we had learned on November 22, 1963...

...that the Russian Premier had been shot from a Moscow building...

...by a lonely capitalist sympathizer...

...who, himself, was then liquidated by a patriotic Muscovite within 48 hours...

...while surrounded by armed police.

I think it would be apparent to anyone...

...that a coup d'騁at and a transfer of power had just taken place.

And we would not ask questions or attack Jim Garrison.

We would, in a free-thinking society...

...be asking why he was killed, and what forces opposed him.

There are some people who might say that you are paranoid.

I should show you some pictures so you can understand...

...what I'm talking about.

These are arrests.

These arrests were photographed minutes after the assassination.

They were never shown to the public.

I'm sorry, these pictures can't be shown on TV.

- Sure they can. - No, I'm sorry. They can't.

- The camera can pick these up. - Jim, I'm sorry.

They can't. We have libel laws.

Those men you just saw were arrested in Dallas minutes after the assassination.

They were never seen again.

No record of arrest, no mug shots, no fingerprints.

Hold that thought.

We'll be back, right after these commercials.

Bill, what the hell are you doing here?

I'm sorry about the other day. I didn't mean to walk out on you like that.

You came all this way to tell me the obvious?

No. Look...

...I just heard of an attempt to kill you between here and New Orleans.

A mob guy was brought down by Shaw from Canada.

This is serious. You'll need a bodyguard tonight.

When you were in the Army, did you ever find out what an order meant?

Do you remember my orders about passing on rumors...

...about someone going to be killed?

- Yes, I do, but this is... - No, there is no "but."

There is no "but" in a military situation!

I don't appreciate you dumping this paranoid garbage on me...

...nor your inability to follow a simple order...

...especially when it means I have to pay for your flight back to New Orleans.

Let's get you a ticket.

Boss, I'm sorry. I'm just looking out for you.

Get a receipt.

Come on, come on. He's out here.

Jim, where are you going? It's me, Samuel.

- Hey, how long were you in that restroom? - None of your goddamn business.

Jim, bad news, Bill's turned.

I think he's given everything we've got to the feds.

We studied the memos and there was nothing there. Nothing.

We went to confront him and the landlady said the son of a bitch just left.

Left everything.

It's unbelievable. I'm sorry.

Mattie, could you get Mr. Garrison a drink, please?

Something sure scared him.

Bill doesn't scare that easy. Somebody got to his thinking.

- He was never that good a thinker. - He sure fooled us.

No, no, leave it. Don't turn it down. I want to see this.

You know what's happening, he's winning.

He'll never make it.

If he wins, they'll kill him. He'll stop the war.

They'll kill him before they let him be President.

With Broussard, they have everything...

...all our witnesses, our strategies for the trial.

We got to double check his work.

There could be false leads. We can't go to trial!

We don't have a prayer!

- I don't think so, Al. - I have to agree with Al, Boss.

This is not one we'll come out on.

You remember the Hemingway story, The Old Man and the Sea?

The old fisherman manages to catch this great fish...

...a fish so huge, that he has to tie it to the boat to get it back in.

By the time it reached shore...

...the fish had long since been picked apart by sharks.

Nothing was left, but the skeleton.

- And that's what will happen to us. - Then what did we do this for?

It's a means to an end.

This war has two fronts.

In a court of law, we hope to get Clay Shaw for conspiracy.

In the court of public opinion, it could take another 25, 30 years...

...for the truth to come out.

At least we'll strike the first blow.

What if you're wrong?

I never thought for a second I was.

Will you come to the trial?

I don't think so.

With 53% of the precincts reporting, Sen. Kennedy has a 48% to 41% lead...

...over Sen. McCarthy.

CBS News projects Sen. Robert Kennedy...

...the winner of the California primary.

Within the United States over the period of the last three years...

...the division, the violence, the disenchantment with our society...

...the divisions between blacks and whites...

...the poor and the affluent, between age groups...

...or Vietnam, we can work together.

We are a great country, an unselfish, compassionate country.

That's my basis for running.

Thank you all. It's on to Chicago and let's win there.

Senator Kennedy has been shot!

They killed him, honey.

He won...

...and they killed Robert Kennedy.

They shot him down.

Oh, my God!

Both of them?

Both brothers?

You were right.

It hasn't ended yet.

For the first time...

...I feel really scared.

I wish I could've loved you more.

Sometimes I feel like I didn't ever love you...

...or the children enough.

I'm sorry.

Please rise.

The Criminal District Court for Orleans Parish, Section H, is now in session.

Honorable Judge Edward A. Haggerty, Jr. Presiding. Be seated.

That's Clay Bertrand.

That's who I saw at Ferrie's.

That's who you say you saw.

A confessed homosexual.

Convicted of pandering and soliciting.

A man who has lied about everything...

...and now wants to be taken at his word.

That man, right there. Yes, sir.

He was at the Pontchartrain wall...

...with the man who shot the President.

I remember him because of his limp.

A heroin addict injecting himself at the wall.

Barely conscious of his surroundings.

- Is that the man? - That was the man, right there.

He dropped Oswald off on the voter's line.

I remember 'cause they were the only white strangers around that day.

That big black Cadillac of his made me think they might be FBI.

Welcome to Clinton. If you need any help, let us know.

He said he was a representative of Warren International Trade Mart.

More than five years ago, for two minutes...?

It's fair to say you could be mistaken.

Just a figment of my imagination.

The cat's stewing you, I told him.

You got the right ta-ta, but the wrong ho-ho.

Bertrand is not Shaw, scout's honor. And you can tell him I said so.

Objection, Your Honor!

Andrews has been convicted of perjury on this matter.

Exception taken. That case is on appeal.

Mr. Goldberg...

...you claim you met Ferrie and Shaw on a vacation trip...

...from your accounting business in New York.

You had drinks...

...and while drunk, discussed killing Kennedy.

- Is that not so? - Yes, I did.

Is it also true that you fingerprinted your daughter when she went to college?

Yes, sir, I did.

Is it also true that you fingerprinted her when she returned?

Yes, I did.

Why?

I wanted to make sure she was the same girl I sent away.

He was one of Broussard's witnesses.

He was totally sane when we took his affidavit.

Your Honor, we call Police Officer Aloysius Habighorst to the stand.

I must ask the jury to leave the court.

Gentlemen, will you please rise and follow me.

- Name? - Clay La Verne Shaw.

Defendant didn't have his lawyer present.

It's standard booking procedure to ask an alias!

I call them as I see them!

Any aliases?

Clay Bertrand.

It's not constitutionally required that a lawyer be present!

- I'm ruling that inadmissible! - That's our case!

Then you didn't have a case.

I wouldn't believe anything Habighorst said anyway.

I can't believe you're saying this!

I am saying it. Bring in the jury.

- Oswald? - No, I did not.

- Ever call Dean Andrews? - No, I did not.

Have you ever met David Ferrie?

Wouldn't even know what he looked like if I hadn't seen pictures.

Did you ever use the alias, Clay Bertrand?

No, I did not.

Thank you, Mr. Shaw.

A very great actor has just given us a great performance.

But we are nowhere closer to the truth.

My office is charging Clay Shaw with outright perjury...

...on 15 answers he's given today, not one word being true.

You're out of order! Now, sit down!

That's the man right there.

To prove there was a conspiracy involving Clay Shaw...

...we must prove there was more than one man involved in the assassination.

To do that...

...we must look at the Zapruder film which my office subpoenaed.

The American public has not seen...

...has not seen the film. It's been locked in a vault the last five years...

...in the Time-Life Building in New York.

There's a reason for that.

Watch.

"The picture speaks 1,000 words."

The Warren Commission thought they had an open-and-shut case.

Three bullets, one assassin.

Two unpredictable things happened that day to make it impossible.

One, the film shot by Abraham Zapruder while standing near the grassy knoll.

Two, the third wounded man, James Teague, nicked by a fragment...

...while standing near the triple underpass.

The time frame, 5.6 seconds, established by the Zapruder film...

...left no possibility of a fourth shot.

So the shot of fragment that left a superficial wound on Teague's cheek...

...came from one of the three bullets fired from the Depository's sixth floor.

That leaves just two bullets.

We know one was the fatal head shot that killed Kennedy.

So a single bullet remains.

A single bullet must account for the seven wounds in Kennedy and Connally.

Rather than admit to a conspiracy or investigate further...

...the Warren Commission endorsed the theory...

...put forth by an ambitious attorney, Arlen Spector.

One of the grossest lies ever forced on the American people.

It's known as the "magic bullet" theory.

The magic bullet...

...enters the President's back, headed downward at a 17-degree angle.

It then moves upwards to leave Kennedy's body from the front of his neck...

...wound #2...

...where it waits 1.6 seconds...

...presumably in midair, where it turns right, then left...

...right, then left...

...and continues into Connally's right armpit.

Wound #3.

The bullet then heads down at an angle of 27 degrees, shattering his rib...

...and exiting from the right side of his chest. Wound #4.

The bullet turns right, reentering Connally's body at his right wrist.

Wound #5.

Shattering the radius bone...

...the bullet exits Connally's wrist, wound #6...

...makes a dramatic U-turn, then buries itself in Connally's left thigh.

Wound #7, from which it later falls out...

...and is found in almost pristine condition...

...on a stretcher in a corridor of Parkland Hospital.

Some bullet.

Any combat vet can tell you, never in the history of gunfire...

...has there been a bullet this ridiculous.

The government says it can prove it with some fancy physics in a nuclear lab.

Of course they can.

Theoretical physics can prove an elephant can hang from a cliff...

...with his tail tied to a daisy.

But use your eyes, your common sense.

The Army wound ballistics experts fired some comparison bullets.

Not one of them looked anything like this.

Take a look at CE-856.

An identical bullet...

...fired through the wrist of a human cadaver...

...just one of the bones smashed by the magic bullet.

Seven wounds, gentlemen.

Tough skin...

...dense bones.

This single-bullet explanation...

...is the foundation of the Warren Commission's claim of one assassin.

And once you conclude...

...the magic bullet couldn't create all seven wounds...

...you must conclude there was a fourth shot and a second rifleman.

And if there was a second rifleman...

...then by definition there had to be a conspiracy...

...which we believe involves the accused, Clay Shaw.

Fifty-one witnesses thought they heard shots from the grassy knoll...

...which is to the right, in front of the President.

Key witnesses that day?

Charles Brehm, a combat vet.

Right behind, Jean Hill and Mary Moorman.

S.M. Holland, Richard Dodd, James Simmons...

...standing on the overpass. J.C. Price...

...overlooking the plaza.

William Newman, father of two children.

He hit the deck on the north side of Elm.

Abraham Zapruder.

Each of these key witnesses has no doubt whatsoever...

...one or more shots came from behind the picket fence.

Twenty-six trained medical personnel at Parkland Hospital...

...saw the back of the President's head blasted out!

Doctor Peters.

There was a large 7 cm opening at the right occipital parietal area.

A considerable portion of the brain was missing.

A fifth or possibly a quarter of the back of the head had been blasted out...

...along with the underlying brain tissue.

When's the proper time to declare one dead?

There was also a large fragment of skull attached to a flap of the scalp.

The exit hole in the rear of his head measured about 120 mm...

...or five inches, across.

Not one of the civilian doctors who examined the President...

...regarded his throat wound as anything but an entry wound.

But then the body was illegally moved to Washington for the autopsy.

Because when a coup d'騁at has occurred...

...there's a big difference between an autopsy performed by civilian doctors...

...and one that is performed by military doctors under orders.

The departure of Air Force One, Friday afternoon was not so much a takeoff...

...as it was a getaway, with the newly sworn in President.

Objection!

Sustained.

On the plane, the White House Situation Room announced Oswald's guilt...

...to all passengers before any kind of investigation had begun.

The "angry lone nut" solution is beginning to take shape.

- Objection, Your Honor. - Sustained.

Please bottle the acid.

The three Bethesda doctors picked by the military left something to be desired.

None of them had experience with combat-gunfire wounds.

Through their autopsy, we've been able to justify eight wounds from two bullets.

Three to Kennedy, five to Connally.

One of them being the "magic bullet."

- FBI? - Here.

Col. Finck, are you saying someone told you not to dissect the neck?

I was told the family wanted the examination of the head.

Oh, Christ.

Looks like half his brain is gone.

- Weigh it. - 653 grams.

As a pathologist, it was your obligation to explore...

...all possible causes of death.

I had the cause of death.

Your Honor, please direct the witness to answer my question.

Why did Col. Finck not dissect the tract of the bullet wound?

I heard Dr. Humes stating...

That's enough. That's enough.

It's duly noted.

Let's check the back.

I can feel the end of the wound with my finger.

That won't be necessary.

Watch the ear!

Shot in the back. Cheap crime.

He said:

Who's in charge here?

I am.

I don't remember his name.

It was quite crowded.

And when you are called to look at the wounds of the dead President...

...you don't ask people for their names and who they are.

But you were a qualified pathologist. Was the Army General?

No.

But you took his orders.

Yes.

- So he was directing the autopsy. - No.

There were others.

There were admirals.

When you're a Lieutenant Colonel, you follow orders.

It is not our business to discuss this with anyone outside this room.

As I recall, Admiral Kenney, Navy Surgeon General...

...specifically told us not to discuss the case.

A lot of people were deciding what was private...

...none of the American people's business.

The chief pathologist, Commander Humes...

...by his own admission, voluntarily burned his autopsy notes.

President Johnson orders the blood-soaked limousine...

...filled with bullet holes and clues to be washed and rebuilt.

He sends Connally's bloody suit to the cleaners.

The Justice Department denied this office access to the autopsy photos.

When we finally get a court order to examine Kennedy's brain...

...in the hopes of finding from which direction the bullet came...

...we're told...

...by your government that the President's brain has disappeared.

That's not all that's disappeared. With it, the concept of justice.

Objection. Mr. Garrison is insulting the federal government...

Overruled!

So, what really happened that day?

Let's just for a moment speculate, shall we?

We have the epileptic seizure...

...distracting the police and allowing the shooters to get into place.

The epileptic later vanished, never checking into the hospital.

The A-team goes to the sixth floor of the Depository.

They were refurbishing the floors of the Depository that week...

...allowing unknown workmen in the building.

They move quickly into position, minutes before the shooting.

The second spotter, talking by radio to the other teams, has the best overall view.

The God spot.

B-team, one rifleman and one spotter with access to the building...

...moves into a low floor of the Dal-Tex building.

The third team, C-team, moves in behind the fence above the grassy knoll...

...where the shooter and the spotter are first seen by the late Lee Bowers.

They have the best position.

Kennedy is close and on a flat, low trajectory.

Part of this team is a coordinator...

...who flashed security credentials at people, chasing them from the area.

Probably two to three more men are in the crowd.

Ten to twelve men. Three teams. Three shooters.

The triangulation of fire Clay Shaw and David Ferrie discussed two months before.

They blocked the plaza.

They know every inch.

They've calibrated their sights. Practiced on moving targets.

They're ready.

Kennedy's motorcade makes a turn from Main onto Houston.

It's going to be a turkey shoot.

They don't shoot him on Houston...

...the easiest shot for a single shooter in the Depository.

They wait till he gets to the killing zone between three rifles.

Kennedy makes the turn from Houston onto Elm.

Slowing down to some 11 miles an hour.

The shooters across Dealey Plaza tighten, taking their aim.

Waiting for the radio to say, "Green! Green!"

Or, "Abort! Abort!"

The first shot rings out.

Sounding like a backfire, it misses the car completely.

Frame 161, Kennedy stops waving as he hears something.

Connally's head turns slightly to the right.

Frame 193, the second shot hits Kennedy in the throat from the front.

Frame 225, Kennedy emerges from behind the road sign.

He's been hit, raising his hands to his throat.

The third shot, frame 232...

...hits Kennedy in the back, pulling him downward and forward.

Connally, you will notice, shows no sign of being hit.

He is holding his Stetson, which is impossible if his wrist is shattered.

Connally is turning now.

Frame 238. The fourth shot.

It misses Kennedy and takes Connally in the back.

This is the shot that proves there were two rifles.

Connally yells, "My God! They're going to kill us all!"

Around this time, another shot misses the car completely...

...striking James Teague by the underpass.

The car brakes.

The sixth and fatal shot.

Frame 313, takes Kennedy in the head from the front.

This is the key shot.

The President going back and to his left...

...shot from the front and right.

Totally inconsistent with the shot from the Depository.

Again.

Back, and to the left.

Back, and to the left.

Back, and to the left.

So what happens then?

Pandemonium.

Let's go! We got him!

The shooters quickly disassemble their various weapons, except the Oswald rifle.

Patrolman Smith rushes to the parking lot behind the fence.

He smells gunpowder.

He produced credentials showing him to be Secret Service.

Let's see your ID. See anyone else up here?

I accepted that and let him go.

I regretted it. He looked like a mechanic.

He had on a sports shirt and pants, but he had dirty fingernails.
