Background
Tom Parkinson is the director of security for the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, Illinois.
During the events of The Relic (1997) played by Thomas Ryan
Frederick Ford is murdered at the Field Museum of Natural History and Lt. Vincent D'Agosta and Detective Hollingsworth are sent to investigate. D’Agosta is introduced to Tom Parkinson by Dr. Ann Cuthbert and he tells them who the deceased was. Officer Bailey shoots a homeless man in the basement of the museum who was covered in Frederick’s blood. Parkinson believes the case is closed however D’Agosta is not quite sure and is hesitant to open the museum up for the upcoming opening event for the Superstition exhibit. Parkinson angrily calls the Mayor who asks to speak to D’Agosta. The mayor tells D’Agosta how much his wife is looking forward to the Superstition gala event and decides for D’Agosta the event will open. During the evening of the event, Dr. Greg Lee tells Parkinson no one is left in the lab section of the building so Parkinson has Johnson lock all the doors to that area. Greg then walks over and introduces himself to the Blaisdales. D’Agosta and Pollux enter the CCTV room and using a walkie talkie, he tells Parkinson to hand the Mayor his walkie talkie. The Mayor starts to talk, however D’Agosta tells him to shut the fuck up and that Hollingsworth is in charge. D’Agosta then tells Hollingsworth to take the remaining people through the tunnels. Parkinson refuses to go and Greg stays behind when the Blaidesdales insist they cannot travel that way. Parkinson starts yelling he will not take the fall for what happened when he is killed by the kothoga.
