All language subtitles for Quantum Leap - 5x01-02 - Lee Harvey Oswald Part I - October 5 1957-November 22 1963.DVD.en

Theorizing that one could time travel
within his own lifetime,

Dr. Sam Beckett stepped
into the Quantum Leap accelerator...

and vanished.

He awoke to find himself
trapped in the past,

facing mirror images
that were not his own...

and driven by an unknown force
to change history for the better.

His only guide on this journey is Al,
an observer from his own time,

who appears in the form of a hologram
that only Sam can see and hear.

And so, Dr. Beckett finds himself
leaping from life to life,

striving to put right
what once went wrong...

and hoping each time
that his next leap...

will be the leap home.

I answered you in Russian.

You spoke to me in Russian
and- and I answered you.

It's not a game, Marina.

Marina, am I speaking
English or Russian?

I mean, right now
I'm speaking English, right?

But now-

I'm sorry.

You talk Russian.
You talk English.

So do you.
No.

Yes, you do.
You're speaking English right now.

One, two words.
That's three.

And "You talk English. You talk
Russian. " That's four more, seven.

And "no" is eight.
You funny, Alik.

"You funny"-
eight, nine, ten.

How many more words
do you know?

No, in English.
Yes,

no, hello, good-bye,

capitalists exploit the working class.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a second.

Where did you learn that?
You.

Me?

Oh, of course, me.

I guess your English is a lot
better than my Russian.

I am not a child!
Don't speak to me like I am!

I'm sorry, Marina.

I don't know why I did that.

Oh, my God.

What's happened to me?

Who have I leaped into?

Funny thing about bullets, huh?
You can't call them back.

You don't want to call that
one back. It's a V-bull.

Looks like you're
gonna qualify expert.

Who would have believed it
of an air wing grunt.

Here.

You gonna make love to it
or load it?

Wow.
Wow?

- If I caught my thumb in it, that would have really hurt.
- Just shoot.

- Now what's the problem?
- How far is that?

- How far is that?
- Yeah.

You know damn well how far it is.
It's 500 yards.

Are you messin' with me, Private?

No, sir.

And don't call me "sir"!
I ain't no frigging officer.

Now... shoot.

Hey, man, I love you too.

Hey, Gunny West told me
you were a loudmouthed ass.

But I never thought anyone would
be dumb enough to mess with me.

I'm sorry-

I'm sorry, Sergeant, I-

Russian? You speaking
to me in Russian?

It's just a little slip of the tongue.

See I'm, uh, I'm studying Russian
and-and-and some-sometimes it comes out.

You know what
I'm studying? Huh?

The Three Stooges?

You have one more round.
Shoot!

I was a pretty good shot on the farm.

Bagged my share of squirrels
with a. 22 and deer with a. 30-06.

But that was long ago
and not at 500 yards.

Did you take a deep breath?

What are you trying to do, kill me?

Now what?

You startled me!
What are you doing?

- I thought you heard the chamber door open and knew I was here.
- You blaming me for jerking one off?

No, not you. I don't see
nobody else standing here.

Yeah well, he does.

- Maggie's drawers.
- Maggie's drawers, that's a euphemism for that rag they're waving there.

It means you missed the target.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk.

218. That's too bad.

If you hadn't jerked off that last round,
you would have made expert.

Sharpshooter is not bad, Sam.

Sign at the bottom, Oswald.
Oswald?

That's your name, ain't it?

He's right, Sam. You've
leaped into Lee Harvey Oswald.

Just a word of advice,
Private.

You wanna ship home with all the body
parts you came here with... zip your lip.

Aye, aye, Sergeant Beaner.

See you on liberty, Oswald.

Sam, are you out of your mind?

You can't talk to anybody like that,
much less a marine sergeant.

I know, Al. I know.
Cease fire.! Cease fire.!

Then why'd you do it?
I didn't.

Excuse me. I heard you! You heard the words
came out of my mouth, but I didn't say 'em.

You're scaring me, Sam.
Well, you're not alone.

Maybe- Maybe this has something to do
with leaping twice into the same person.

- What twice?
- I leaped into Oswald in '63.

At least that's what the newspapers I
was holding said it was, March of'63.

Well, how'd you know you were Oswald?
Marina was taking my picture.

You know that famous picture with the rifle and the
- and the newspapers.

That photograph is a fake.

Yeah. Oswald's face is superimposed
on somebody else's body to frame him.

But Marina took it.
How do you know she was Marina?

I called her Marina and-
and she called me... Alik.

Well, there you see?
You weren't Oswald.

All we have to do is ask Ziggy
to trace the name Alik to anyone...

working at the C.I.A. Or the F.B. -

What? Alik was the name
Oswald used in Russia.

And, uh, that's the name Marina
used to call him.

But that doesn't mean she's the one that took the
picture, and it doesn't mean that you were Oswald.

I was Oswald.
How can you be so sure?

I can feel him in me.
In you?

You know how there's
always a little residual...

of the other person
left behind in a leap?

You know, like a little of their
knowledge or their personality...

or maybe even a little bit
of their soul?

Oswald didn't leave
a little anything in you, Sam.

When you leap into someone,
you're still Dr. Sam Beckett,

with your personality,
your knowledge and you-

Where'd you learn
to fieldstrip an M-1?

I didn't.

I'm him, Al.
I'm Lee Harvey Oswald.

No, you're not him!

Then how do you
explain this, hmm?

All right. So you can
fieldstrip an M-1. Big deal.

Thousands of kids learn to
do that in boot camp. Yeah?

Yeah.
Well, I didn't go to boot camp.

All right. So you got a little Lee
Harvey Oswald in you. You can handle that.

What if I got a lot of Lee Harvey Oswald
in me? Huh? I mean think about that.

Do you remember the leap when lightning
struck us and we switched places?

Yeah. Yeah, I think so.

And I got some
of your libido, right?

Yeah. And you still
behaved like a prude.

What else was I supposed to do? I was
a hologram. Well, it never stopped me.

If you could handle my sex drive, you can certainly
handle a few of Lee Harvey Oswald's loose neurons.

Well, what if I can't handle it?
Huh? I mean, what-

what if I assassinate the president? You're not
gonna assassinate the president. This is '57.

That doesn't happen for another six years.
Fifteen minutes ago it was six years from now.

And who's to say that's
not gonna happen again...

in November with me at
the Texas School Book Depository?

Good God, Al.

If that happened,
I could stop the assassination.

If Oswald really was the assassin.

What do you mean if Oswald
was really the assassin?

Well, there's a lot of people
think that he was set up. Set up?

By whom?
Could have been anybody.

Could've been the F.B.I.,
Secret Service, uh, C.I.A.,

the military, the Mafia,
defense contractors, John Birchers.

You name it. They all had something
to gain from Kennedy's death.

Al, we're talking about murdering
the president of the United States.

Don't you remember all the
conspiracy books and the movies?

No. But I do remember that day
in November like it was yesterday.

I was 10, and my dad was teaching me how to
drive the tractor in the field behind the house.

All of a sudden,
Mom came out yelling at us.

She ran up right to the fence and she was yelling
and we thought it was because what we were doing.

But then she told us that
the president had just been shot.

Al, if I leaped into Oswald to uncover
a conspiracy, why didn't I stay in '63?

Maybe because
it started here at Atsugi.

Atsugi?
Japan.

This doesn't look likeJapan. Sam, military
bases look the same the world over.

But you go out that gate,
and you'll see it's Japan.

There's no doubt about it.
It's very beautiful. It's serene.

And there's a lot
of beautiful geishas.

Okay, Al.

Chip and I, uh, libertied once at a
place called The Inn of the Black Pearl.

Uh-huh. And we would soak in these
wood hot tubs with four naked-

You were saying that Atsugi
is where the conspiracy started?

Uh, yeah. Well, the K.G.B. Probably
contacted Oswald somewhere around here.

Wait. You didn't mention the Russians. They
were behind the assassination? That's one theory.

Another one is that Oswald was just pretending to be with
the K.G.B. He was really with the C.I.A. Or the F.B.I.

Wait. Wait. Wait. Why was the
K.G.B. Even interested in Oswald?

Are you kidding? Oswald was
a radar operator with Macs-1.

He knew all the frequencies, all
the codes, the intercept procedures.

He knew about Race Car.

Race Car, this is Coffee Mill.
Squawk Two. Over.

Uh-oh.
See? See what I'm saying?

That wasn't me, Al.
That was Oswald.

D- D-Don't worry about it. I don't even-Where
did that come from? That was Oswald.

Don't worry it.
H- H-How did I know that?

You can handle it.

To tell you the truth,
I'm not worried about it.

It's just that I don't know
who's controlling who.

I mean, am I controlling Oswald
or is he controlling me?

Sam, listen to me. Wait a
second. That's the scary part.

We're going to uncover this conspiracy
and change what happened in Dallas.

I feel it in my bones.

All you have to do
- All you have to do is hang in there.

I prayed Al was right.
At least part of me did.

Hidell, Alex James.

Private first class.

Serial number: 1522597.

- Hidell? You're saying your name is Hidell?
- What are you, hard of hearing?

What's that?

Uh, it's a tape recorder.
New model.

You won't need it.
I've already told you...

everything I'm obliged to tell you under the rules of the
Geneva Convention. Well, you're obliged to tell the truth.

1653230. That's your real serial
number isn't it, Private Oswald?

That's no tape recorder.

So we both lied.

Who's Alex Hidell?

Oswald, Lee Harvey. Private first class.

Serial number: 1653230.
You're not a prisoner of war.

All members of the proletariat
are prisoners in the class struggle.

I thought you were a member
of the Marine Corps.

My status as a marine
does not alter my membership...

in the exploited and oppressed class
into which I was born.

- I was joking.
- I was not!

Take it easy, kid.
I'm on your side.

- Then I'm free to leave?
- Uh, no. Not exactly.

Then I'm a prisoner. Okay. All right.
You're a prisoner of the proletariat and-

I'm a prisoner of the bourgeois
and a member of the proletariat.

You don't know your Marx,
do you?

After six years in the Hanoi Hilton,
I tend to repress it.

- Where?
- That's where I was held as a prisoner of war...

and where they didn't give a damn
about the Geneva Convention.

Now were you ever approached
by a foreign agent in Japan?

That depends.

Hmm. Are you
a foreign agent, Al?

That's your name, isn't it? Al.

How- How did I know your name?

You're part of an experiment
- a new way of communicating through the mesons and neurons of the mind.

You messed with my mind?

What else have you messed with?

This is Race Car, over.

Race car, this is Coffee Mill.
Read you five-by-five. Over.

Coffee Mill, Race Car.

Starting my descent for home and having a little
trouble with my TACAN. Can you give me a steer? Over.

Yeah. Race car,
squawk two and ident.

Race car squawking two
and identifying.

Yeah, Race Car, this is Coffee Mill.
I have you a 180 nautical miles out.

I have you bearing
2- niner-0 relative.

Over.
Roger that.

It was eerie. I was doing Oswald's job
as if I'd been trained for it,

even beginning to enjoy myself, until I realized
that I was bound to slip up sooner or later.

I can't find his altitude. Uh,
Race Car, say your angels. Over.

This is Race Car. I am, uh, somewhere
above angels 20 and descending.

Somewhere above?
He's gotta be way above.

I'm reading everything from angels
4-5 and I still don't have him.

- We don't need Race Car's altitude to give him a steer, Briggs.
- Aye, aye, sir.

Attention unidentified aircraft. You are
entering a restricted zone. Do you copy? Over.

- What's he doing?
- Uh, Ozzie Rabbit.

Um, right here. Yeah.

You're-You're supposed to write that
so that we can read it too, Bugs. Okay?

This is no time for games, Oswald.

Backwards. Sam, you've got to
write everything backwards.

He's weird.

What's so damn funny?

- Sam.!
- What's the problem, Oswald?

Hey.
Nothing.

Sir.! Nothing, sir.!

Geez.
Sorry, sir.

Al, you got to get me
out of here fast.

I can't control Oswald's
emotions anymore.

I can see that. If it'll make you feel any
better, he's taking on a little bit of you.

Well, it does not make me
feel better at all! Calm down.!

Oswald, is your mike out?

No. No, it's fine, sir.

Better let me do the talking.
I always do.

Oh, I got him! He just popped up on
my scope descending through angels 4-5.

Uh, Race Car, this is Coffee Mill. Turn right
to a heading of 0- 6-5 and squawk one, over.

Race Car. 0-6-5.
Squawking one, over.

Uh, Lieutenant, uh, based on Race Car's
rate of descent since his initial call,

he had to have been up
around angels 9-0.

That's almost 30,000 feet
above the world record.

You miscalculated, Briggs.

I don't think so, sir. I figured out his rate of
descent and I- and I clocked him from his first-

You miscalculated, Briggs.

- Yes, sir.
- Listen up, people.

We're not here to calculate how high,
how fast or how far Race Car can fly.

All that is top secret and not to be discussed,
even among yourselves. Do you read me?

Five-by-five, sir.

Al. Flagcheck Leader, stand
by to hand off to Toby O'Niel.

Race Car's a U-2, isn't it?

You heard the lieutenant.
We're not supposed to discuss that.

What am I going to do, tell the Russians?
Well, that's what we're here to find out.

Ziggy says if the K.G.B.
Makes contact...

it's gonna be in Yamato at a bar where
Oswald hangs out called Negashaia.

Negashaia.
And-

What?
Uh, interesting.

Lee-san!

Where you been?

Your mama-san missed you.

Cried many tears on my pillow.

I really missed you, Lee-san.

I really missed you too.

You ichiban liar man.

But I love it.
Why you stay away from Negashaia?

Uh, you know, uh, duty and-

Pillow talk says Macs-1 's marines
up to something hush-hush.

Pillow talk?
Sex.

They also say Macs-1 's marines
go to sea soon.

Maybe, uh, Philippines
or maybe Indonesia.

Is this true?

Why would you want to know?

Oh. Macs-1 's marines
are my friends-o.

You leave Atsugi,
many broken hearts-o.

I have to send my girls
back to the farms.

So you're only interested
in the welfare of your girls?

Why else?

You think poorJoda is a spy?
Are you?

Well,

I do almost anything for money.

Even with a little
Lee Harvey Oswald in me,

I... wasn't prepared for this.

Not prepared at all.

Hey, honey, you buy me drink.
I show you a good time.

I ichiban mama-san.
No. No, thanks.

I know special tricks, no?

Hey!

It's all right.

Look out. Cat fight. Cat fight.

Why did you
let her touch you?

Mariska, it's my fault.

I was going to scratch her eyes out,
but I just did my nails.

Hey! Come on!
Let 'em fight, Bugs!

Get out of there,
Ozzie Rabbit.!

You stay away from my guy!
You stay! Go away! Out!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Hey, let a marine who appreciates
a woman buy you a drink, huh?

Yeah!

You promise no more trouble?
No trouble.

I got me ichiban marine.

Come on, come on.
Sit, sit.

I'm sorry about that.
I don't believe you.

As my Uncle Duchin says-

I used to, uh,
speak some Russian.

But I don't seem to remember
very much right now.

All you have to remember is-

I love you.
I love you too, Lee.

How do you say "Oh, boy"
in Russian?

Talk some more Russian to me.

Sometimes I think Russian
is the only reason you come to see me.

That can't be true.
I think so.

There's plenty of other girls here
who make love to you.

But only Mariska can
make love to you in Russian-

tell you stories in Russian.

You do tell wonderful stories.
Uncle Duchin taught me.

He's the best storyteller in all of Minsk.
Wait till you meet him.

He'll fill your stomach with vodka
and your head with tales of his youth.

I can't wait. When?
When we go to Russia.

If you still want to go to Russia.

I've always wanted to go to Russia.

It's the worker's paradise.

As long as you aren't half oriental.

Do you think
it's better in America?

Lee.

I know that you were
unhappy in America,

but it would be different
there with me.

L- I could make you
very happy.

My mother slaved for the capitalists her
whole life and all she got was nothing.

Nothing!

You are the only marine who says America is a
bad place. What other marines do you talk to?

Just the ones who buy me drink.
What else do they buy?

Huh?
Nothing!

Huh?
Nothing! Just drink.

Lee, it's my job.

You're my only boyfriend.

Sam, you'll never
believe wh-what-

Looks like my libido
finally kicked in. Sam?

Please, Lee, I won't talk
about going to America again.

I believe you.
We go to Russia.

We go to Siberia.
I believe you.

Anyplace you want.
What's goin'on, Sam?

Right now, you just have to excuse
me. L-I need to go to the bathroom.

Kenji!

Sam, what's going on?

I'm losing it, Al. That's what's
going on. Yeah, I already did.

I spent half of my first tour
like that. I can't control him.

Hey, don't worry. He's
- He's too drunk to give you any problem. Not him.

Huh?
Oswald.

He's- He's taking over my mind.

Well, that's impossible.
He- He can't take over your mind.

I'm reacting like him. I'm-I'm talking
like him. I'm thinking like him.

I don't know where
he stops and I start, Al.

And how I treated Mariska out
there was sickening. What'd you do?

- I treated her like dirt, and she threw herself at me.
- Oh! Works every time.

Hey, well, no, I mean, it-it
shouldn't work. It shouldn't work.

And-And any man would be ashamed of treating
a woman like that. Her name's Mariska?

She's part Russian, I think.

Oh. Hey, she could be the
K.G.B. Agent. I don't think so.

She's just
- She's teaching Oswald Russian, you know,

and-and sleeping with him.

Oh, you're sleeping with her? No, I'm not
sleeping with her. Oswald is sleeping with her.

Well, what's the difference? I just met
her, okay? I'm not sleeping with her.

I don't know her.
I just met her, okay?

Don't get so touchy. I want to make sure you're
prepared in case you have to sleep with her.

I'm not like you. I don't have to sleep
with every woman that I meet just because-

because she's there. But you may
have to sleep with her to prove...

- or disprove whether or not she's an agent.
- What?

Look, female spies have been doing this
since Mata Hari to find out military secrets.

They sleep with
- Yeah, except I don't know any military secrets.

Well, you don't know what you don't
know. Al, if you were in the K.G.B.,

would you hire anyone...

- as conspicuous as Mariska to be your agent.
- Maybe that's what they're counting on.

That our guys would think she's such an obvious
choice that they wouldn't pick her and then they do.

Mariska is no agent, Al. Oswald is just
interested in anything or anyone Russian.

- How do you know?
- How do I-

Because I've been spouting his words
like a trained parrot, okay?

I've been doing his job.

I mean, I know him better
than his own mother does.

I even know what motivates him.
Look at this.

- Oh, that's The Communist Manifesto. - Yeah. Yeah.
I found this in my locker- in Oswald's locker. Right?

It's dog-eared.
It's-It's underlined. See that?

I mean, this is his religion.
This is his Bible.

His- His mecca is Moscow
and his Muhammad is Marx.

I don't ever want to be that cold again.

A piece of shrapnel tore-

Well, well.

What's a bait fish like you...

doing in a shark's bar?

Huh?

You guys know who this is?

This marine is more famous
than Chesty Puller.

This is Private First Class
Lee Harvey Oswald.

Otherwise known as Ozzie Rabbit.

- Sam, you'd better
get out ofhere right now.

Sarge, I don't want any trouble. So, uh,
you guys go ahead and have a good time.

No, not so quick, Bugs.

Would you deprive
Sergeants Wojowski and Miller...

of the honor of shaking
the hand of the man...

Whose bravery
in the face of the enemy...

is sung about from
the halls of Negashaia-

#To the shores of Atsugi #

The enemy?
Sam-

That's right, Bugs.

Me. Uh, Sam, Ziggy's, uh, spitting
out all kinds of new data here.

Maybe we missed something, or,
uh, maybe you're changing history.

Is this why I'm here?
Yeah.

So I can teach you a lesson.

The only thing you can teach me is how
to play drop the soap in the shower.

Sam.! What do you-
You wanna get killed?

Ziggy's predicting that this Lopez
will knock the hell out of Oswald.!

I'm not Oswald.

You're not?

No.

Then who the hell are you?

Huh?

You're about to find out.

Hey! Hey!
I got him!

Let him go!

If I can't whip this wimp,
I'll enlist in the Waves.

Watch out for the left.

- And watch out for the right.
- Thanks a lot.

- De nada.
- No fighting! No fighting!

Against the rules!

If I wasn't so drunk, I'd swear that
was Ozzie Rabbit fightin' that gorilla.

Well, that is Ozzie Rabbit!
No way.

Hit him, Ozzie!

Hit 'em, Ozzie.!

Shore patrol! Hey!

Right to the belly! You gotta
go downstairs! That hurts!

Yeah!

Ho!

He's kickboxing! Can he do that? Well, I didn't
hear nobody say nothin' about no rules, man!

Oh, no! No! Foul! Foul!

That's my buddy. He's in Macs-1
with me. Oh, you radar operator too?

You want me to hold him for you?

Lee!

Kenji! Kenji!

Come on, Ozzie.! Come on.!

Get up, Ozzie.! Get up.!

Come on.! Get up.!

Get up.! Get up.!

I'm ready for my lesson, Sarge.

Huh?

Lee, come on. Come on, Lee.

- Get out of here!
- Hey, come on. It's over, Oswald.

It's not over till I get my lesson.

Sam, put down that gun.

We'll grab a drink, we'll go upstairs, take our women up there
- Back off!

- Sam, listen to me!
- I'm waiting.

Teach me my damn lesson.

- Come on, Sarge.
- Gooshie, I can't get through to him.!

Tell Ziggy I've got to have a way
to get through to him.!

You're kidding.

Uh- Uh, Sam-

Sam, what are the four, uh, fundamental forces
of interactions in quantum physics?

Come on, Sergeant.

What are the four fundamental forces
of interactions in quantum physics, Sam?

Yeah, yeah. Sam, the four fundamental
forces of interactions in-in quantum physics?

Gravitation,
electromagnetism,

the strong and weak
nuclear forces.

What's the Pauli exclusion principle?

No two fermions can occupy a given
quantum state at the same time.

Neither can two human souls.

Can you help me?

I used to be stationed here. I'm
looking for a couple of my buddies.

I'm sort of new here myself. You got a
company roster or maybe the duty list?

Uh, let me see.

I'm still him.

Uh, Sam,
you're still Oswald,

I know.
Only you're no longer in Atsugi.

Uh, you're stationed at, uh,
Macs-9 in Tustin, California.

It's 1959.

Why do I keep leaping
into Lee Harvey Oswald?

Well, Ziggy still insists that it's to uncover a conspiracy
- uh, stop what happened in Dallas.

Sam, is Oswald still in-
I don't know. I don't know.

Why did I leap out ofJapan?

Well, there's some data indicating that
originally Oswald killed Sergeant Lopez.

And I was there to stop that?

Well, Lopez saved the lives
of 17 marines at Khe Sanh,

and he was given the Congressional
Medal of Honor posthumously.

I gotta find the duty roster.
Duty roster.

Yeah.

Oh, here- duty roster.

- Here you go.
- Thanks.

Do you often read
The Daily Worker?

It's the only newspaper
that tells the truth.

The truth?
How the United States...

oppresses the proletariat of the
world with its military might.

He's back.

You sound like a communist.
I know. I know.

But you're not? I'm not
what I sometimes sound like.

- Oh, good. That's better, Sam.
- But if I were, I'd be a Marxist.

If you're a Marxist, what the hell
are you doing the in the Marine Corps?

I don't know.

We are all ears, Mr. Oswald.

We're waiting.
Waiting?

- Yes, for your knowledge.
- My knowledge. Right.

When you told our consulate in Helsinki
that you wanted to defect, you said-

"I am willing to share all knowledge
I acquired during my service...

"in the United States Marine Corps.

"I do this to repudiate
my former country...

and to demonstrate
my loyalty to the Soviet Union. "

Could I have a glass of water, please?

Thank you.

Ahh.

I'm sorry.
This is such a nice desk.

Once my father, as a punishment
for a menial infraction...

which I can't remember,

made me stand naked
on the boat dock behind our house.

I was, uh, 10.

Old enough to be embarrassed
had anyone witnessed my nakedness.

But there was no one, because only my father
was crazy enough to winter with his family...

on a lake inside the Arctic Circle.

Yes, it was winter.

The water was frozen
two meters deep...

and the snow came up
to the nipples on my chest.

The frostbite took two toes
on my right foot, one on my left,

and I missed most of the spring
recuperating from pneumonia.

Despite that...

and other punishments
I received at his hand as a child,

I still loved the bastard.

After all, he was my father.

Our native lands are like that.

No matter how abusive, how oppressive,
how unjust their treatment,

we have this patriotic,
almost biological need to love them.

It is only when we attain
our political maturity...

we realize that no matter...

how traitorous our actions
may seem in our native country,

the betrayal is theirs.

It's not ours.

My name is Lee Harvey Oswald.

In the Marine Corps,

my serial number was...

1653230.

My M.O. S: 6741,

aviation electronics operator.

My first duty assignment
was with Macs-1 in Atsugi, Japan.

I arrived there
on September the 12th, 1957.

I still don't get how you do this.

Well, it-it-it is a little
difficult to explain.

You think I'm too stupid
to understand?

Well, nobody understands it,
except Dr. Beckett.

Try me.
Try you. Okay.

Let's start with the string theory.
What's the string theory?

String theory?

It helped close the conceptual gulf
between relativity and quantum mechanics.

It postulates that subatomic particles are not
points, but strings, about one Planck length long.

The rate at which strings vibrate can
generate the properties of all known particles.

Hmm? How did I know that?

Most of our time, we spent watching for bogies
out of China or North Korea.

However, occasionally we would run a plot
for, uh, Race Car.

- Have you seen Race Car?
- Many times.

Landings, taking off.

It had long and droopy wings.

The tips sagged...

so that when it landed,
it sparked the runway.

- What is Race Car's official designation?
- U-2.

The "U" stands for utility.

Our officers told us
it was a weather plane,

but scuttlebutt
had it that it was a...

a secret spy plane flying missions
over China and Russia.

Is this Race Car?

Yes.

- Where'd you get this?
- From a friend.

You have friends, don't you?

No. Not really.

- Not a girlfriend?
- Not anymore.

We'll have to do something about
it, Lieutenant Guri, eh? Da.

How high Race Car flew over,
uh, these missions?

We estimated around
angels 9-0.

Oh, that's 30,000 meters.

- And the range?
- I don't know that.

It would stay out at least 12 hours,
sometimes more.

But, of course, it could have landed
before returning to Atsugi,

but I don't think so.

- Can you tell us about Race Car radar-jamming
equipment? - Didn't know it had any.

Photographic equipment?

So you know nothing about Race Car
defensive capabilities? Uh, Sam?

- Now Oswald is you. - Can you give
me any performance figures on U-2?

- I mean, he's not completely you.
- It had a short takeoff...

around... 500 feet, no more. But
when I asked him if he understood-

- Sam?
- He climbed out at about 45 degrees...

through angels 4-5, which was
as high as our MPS-11 tracked.

- What are you telling them?
- Anything else?

- Code names and frequencies.
- No!

We were Coffee Mill, and of course,
the U-2 was Race Car. Sam, zip it!

We usually used 218.5
as our main channel.

- Now, Comrade Oswald.
- God! Now you're him and he's you. Holy mackerel!

Why don't you write all this
technical data down for us.

No. No.
This evening after dinner.

Eh, you stay at the Hotel
Berlin, are you not? I believe so.

Yeah.
The food there is inedible.

Why don't you ask your intourist guide,
uh, what's her name?

- Rimma Shirokova.
- Yeah. Tell Rimma Shirokova to take you to Najinski's.

They serve this wonderful venison with a
- with a mushroom stew. You would love it.

And now, you would be so kind and
wait in the other room for a moment.

Sam, I know Oswald is influencing
you, but this is ridiculous.

Al?
Oh, it's about time.

Hey, you gotta control this Oswald stuff before
you give away every secret in the government.

It just came out, okay?

I think I could have stopped, but
some part of me that didn't want to.

And you know about that part.

Uh, I was just thinking out loud.

How bad is it? It depends
on how much you told them.

I think I told them everything
Oswald knew about the U-2.

Gary Powers.

The Russians shoot him
down next May.

And that incident extends the Cold War for
years. That must be why I leaped in here, Al-

to stop the Soviets from getting U-2 data
from Oswald. Oh, no. Ziggy doesn't think so.

There's a 96% probability that you didn't
give the Soviets anything on the U-2...

that they didn't already have.
But they shoot Powers down, right?

Yeah. It was just a lucky shot
with a Sam-2. A 100-to-1 shot.

It had nothing to do with anything you
- uh, Oswald told them. Thank God.

Well, then why am I here in Russia?

Ziggy's working on it.
I personally think it had some-

You think it has something to
do with the conspiracy? Yeah.

Why don't you change that record, okay?
Well, I still believe it.

Al, in all of these leaps so far,
we haven't uncovered any conspiracy,

and we have not proven
that Oswald was not the assassin.

Well, maybe this one will. Yeah. But I can't
keep wandering around leap after leap like this.

We gotta-We gotta take
the initiative somehow!

Right!
Well, what do we do?

Oh, you're not becoming
Oswald again, are you?

I don't actually... become Oswald.

I just sort of drift along next to him
and his thoughts come out.

Oh, you're not drifting, are you?

No. I'm theorizing.
Or trying to.

Oh, sorry.
That's okay.

I was just thinking though, what if I
prematurely exited that first leap into Oswald?

The one where Marina took your picture?
Yeah. What if I leaped out...

before I had a chance to put right
what once went wrong?

Well, success doesn't have
anything to do with leaping.

I said before I had a chance
to undo the wrong?

Why would you leap before you
had the chance? If I knew that,

I'd know how to get off this leaping yo-yo
so I could do whatever it was I was supposed to do.

Which is stop the assassination.
Well, let's hope that's it.

Sam, Ziggy says
you're on the right track.

It's just gonna take time
to test your hypothesis,

but you should continue
and play this scenario out.

Like I got a big choice.
I didn't finish.

But you gotta play it out just the
way Oswald did. No changing history.

So tell me what I'm supposed to
do. You go to your hotel room.

Yeah. And then before you have
dinner with your intourist guide-

You commit suicide.

I don't like this, Al.
I don't like it either.

But Ziggy insists that you continue
doing exactly what Oswald did...

on October 21, 1959.

Which means that
in a couple of minutes,

you have to slash your left wrist
with a razor blade.

Yeah. Well, maybe we should just skip
that part. What are you afraid of?

What am I afraid of?
Well, you're not gonna die.

How can you be so sure?
Because Oswald didn't.

Olga saved him.
Olga? Who's Olga?

Your intourist guide.

Wait a second. I thought that, uh,
Major Kosenko said that somebody-

that her name was
Rimma something, right?

Shirokova.
Shirokova something.

Yeah, but Oswald called her Olga in his diaries,
and maybe that was his nickname for Rimma.

And maybe I've already altered history and nobody
named Olga or Rimma or-or any name like that...

is gonna come through that door after
I slash my wrist! Okay. Well, maybe not.

For all we know you may be here to stop
Oswald from slashing his wrist. Let's see.

Exactly.
Uh, okay,

if Oswald doesn't attempt suicide, the
Russians kick him out of the country.

He never meets Marina
- Wait a second. Wait a second. Wait a second.

The Russians kick him out of the country?
Yeah. Oswald's six-day visa expires tonight...

and the Russians
won't extend it.

Maybe that's why
he attempted suicide.

Doesn't that kinda blow
your K.G.B. Conspiracy theory?

Well, maybe.
But it reinforces my C.I.A. Theory.

Because if Oswald was C.I.A., the
Russians wouldn't want him in the country.

So that's why he commits suicide,
right? Because it's in the C.I.A. Manual.

What difference does it make?
What difference does it make?

We're talkin' about trying
to find the truth out here.

And what if the truth is that at age 19,
Oswald was not a C.I.A. Agent,

he was not a K.G.B. Agent.

Maybe he was just some
- some frustrated loser, right, who was trying to get recognition any way he could.

Maybe he thought the best
way to do that was by defecting.

But then when the Soviets
didn't want him- Uh-uh.

And he didn't have anybody else, so
he slit his wrists. No. Uh-uh. No, no.

See, the Russians wanted
defectors in '59.

I cannot believe that the Russians had Lee
Harvey Oswald on an "A" list for defectors.

I mean, he was a kid, right? If I remember
correctly, he never even graduated high school.

Not exactly the kind of disillusioned American intellectual or scientist
- Sam.

That the Soviets like to parade
in front of the world press, right?

Sam. He's not anything
like that at all. What?

Sam, it's time.
Time-

to commit suicide? No, not commit
suicide. Attempt suicide! Attempt! Attempt!

Now all we have to do
is follow Oswald's diary.

Let's see. October 21-

Okay. Um,

"I must leave country
at 8:00 p. m. Tonight...

as visa has 'expird. "'

He spells "expire"
without the "E." Hmm.

"I am shocked!
My dreams!

"I retire to my room.
I have $100 left.

"I have waited for two year
to be accepted.

My 'fondis"'- F-O-N-D-I-S,
uh, "dreams are shattered...

because of a petty official,
because of bad planning,"

uh, "I have planned so much.

"7:00 p. m.
I decide to end it.

Slash 'rist"' R-I-S-T. I don't care
how he spells it. I'm not gonna do it.

Oh, well, you have to.
I'm not.

Uh, "soak 'rist' in cold water
to numb the pain.

"Then slash my left 'rist. '

Then I 'plaug"'- Plaug? Plaug?
What the hell is a plaug?

Who cares what it is?
Al, I'm not gonna do it.

Okay. All right. Wait a minute.
"Plaug rist into bathtub of hot water.

"I think when Olga comes at 8:00
to find me dead will be a big shock.

Somewhere... a violin plays. "

Easy, fella.

Easy, fella.

Marina?

"If I am alive and they have captured me,

I believe that the embassy
will come to your assistance. "

Well, you don't need this, do you?

The administration increased its crackdown
on Cuban exile hit-and-run raids.

The raids based from Mexico, the
Caribbean and the southern United States...

are a stumbling block-

I shot a man.

I don't know if I hit him or not.

It should be on the news.

General Walker.

That-That must be why I-
I left you that note.

In case they caught me.

But they didn't.

I'm too smart for them.

He was a fascist,
like Hitler.

Don't you see?

If someone had killed Hitler
before he came to power,

millions of lives
would have been saved.

Yes, you can.

He lived alone.

I'm listening to the radio!

Sam. Sam, it worked.
It worked.

It... almost worked.
It's April 10, 1963.

And that's only a month after
your original leap into Oswald.

If I killed him, there should be
something on the radio.

Killed him?

I buried it.
Killed who?

- Wrapped it in that raincoat and I buried it.
- Gooshie!

What the hell's he talking about?

Holy mackerel.!
Sam, you leaped into Oswald...

just seconds after he tried to blow
General Edwin Walker's head off.

- Tried? Tried? I missed?
- Not you. Oswald!

The bullet splintered the window and then punched
into the wall just inches above Walker's head.

It was an easy shot.

He was just sitting there
working at his desk.

How could I miss?

You didn't miss him, Sam!
Oswald did!

- You don't have to yell, Al. I can hear you.
- Oh! Oh.

Well, that's better.
Sam, you're scaring the hell out of me.

Uh, you were acting-

you were acting like Oswald's
mind was still merged into yours.

President Kennedy's popularity
slipping from the high it showed...

during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

The White House confirmed plans-
It is.

- No, it can't be.
- Only this time it's different.

No, but Ziggy said it
would be gone.

Yeah? Why would it be gone?

Well, Ziggy computed that the reason that you
were leaping back and forth in Oswald's life...

was because the part of your mind that's in him and the
part of his mind that's in you were trying to, uh, reunite.

So, what did you do? I
didn't do- I didn't- Nothin'.

Ziggy is-Well, Ziggy figured that
if we could reconnect your minds,

then we could get the leap
back on track.

So through, uh, D.N.A. Typing,

Ziggy identified, you know, the little
mesons and neurons in Oswald's brain...

that biologically matched yours, and then we put Oswald in
the accelerator and we leaped those little things back to you.

You can't leap isolated mesons and neurons
without drawing other neural energy with it.

More neural energy?
Yeah.

Sucking up more of Oswald's mind. That's why
this leap is different. There's more of him in me.

More?

There's more?

I can't destroy this.

This is my plan.
Oh, no, Sam.

I planned this like
a military operation.

Reconnaissance photos,
time tables, escape routes.

Even my political justification
for the execution.

Sam. Sam, look at me.
It should have worked.

Sam, look at me!

My aim was perfect.

It was an accident that I missed.

He dropped his head at the last second,
or he'd be dead.

He'd be dead,

and the world would remember
Lee Harvey Oswald...

as the man who executed
General Edwin Walker.

"Hands off Cuba. "

Hands off Cuba. Hands off Cuba!

Hands off Cuba! Hands off Cuba!

Hands off Cuba! Oh, I don't
truck with communist propaganda.

What makes you think this
is communist propaganda?

Oh, because everybody know
that Castro is a communist.

I'm not Castro. No. But y'all
are supportin' him, aren't you?

No. I'm supporting Cuba.
Although, I must admit that I admire him...

the same way I admire George Washington.
Ellie, we only have a half hour.

Y'all are comparing Fidel Castro
to George Washington?

Uh-huh. Castro is doing what Washington
did, leading his country in a revolution.

It's not the same.
No?

No!
Well, why not?

I don't know. It's just
not the same. Ellie!

I'll be right there.
I'll order you a salad.

Gee, I don't want you
to miss your lunch.

Oh, it'll be good for my figure.

Uh, so how do you equate the American Revolution
with, uh, the communist takeover in Cuba?

We kicked out King George.
Castro kicked out Batiste. It seems the same to me.

But it's not. Castro is a
communist. Hands off Cuba.

Well, whatever he is,
Castro just wants Cuba to have...

the same opportunity
for self-determination that we did.

Hands off Cuba.
Y'all sound like you know him.

We've had the same teacher.

Would you like to join
the Fair Play for Cuba Committee?

I'm secretary of
the New Orleans chapter.

I could sign you up right now
for only a dollar and a quarter.

Y'all have social functions? Well, now,
we don't. But that is an awful good idea.

More folks will come to a dance
than will come to a political meeting.

Course, once you got 'em in there-

You are something, Ellie.
You are really something.

Hey, you know my name, but I don't
know yours. I only know half your name.

The other half's La Forge.
Ellie La Forge.

Ellie La Forge.

Hidell. Alex Hidell.

Y'all are married.
Yes. My wife lives in Dallas.

Y'all didn't tell me
y'all were married.

Fair play for Cuba!

Traitor! Traitor!
Fair play for Cuba!

You see this fellow.
He is a communist.

Fair play for Cuba!
Communist!

And he wants to do to your country
what he did to us in Cuba!

Fair play for Cuba!
Communist.!

Gooshie, you got a lock on him?
Now just hold it there- Uh-oh!

A couple of days ago,
he tried tojoin us.

He said he wanted to fight for Cuba!
To bring down Castro!

Liar!
Okay, Carlos.

If you want to hit me, hit me.

He's doing exactly what
Oswald did.! With pleasure.

Freeze! Up against the wall and
spread 'em! He's a communist!

Up against the wall and shut
up! Sam, can you hear me?

It's the 9th of August, 1963.

There's only three months until the Kennedy
assassination, Sam, and each leap is putting you closer.

If you leap into Dallas on November 22
and Oswald is still in control,

you won't be able to
change anything, Sam!

You've got to fight him!
Fight him, Sam!

What's your name, boy?

My name?
Dr. Samuel Beckett!

My name is Lee Harvey Oswald.

Three years ago, I said that, uh-

Introduced myself in Paris
by saying that I was the man...

who had accompanied,
uh, Mrs. Kennedy to Paris.

I'm getting, uh, somewhat that same
sensation, uh, as I travel around, uh, Texas.

Nobody wonders
what Lyndon and I wear.

I'm glad to be here in,
uh, Jim Wright's city.

About, uh, 35, uh-

I appreciate your being
here this morning.

Mrs. Kennedy is
organizing herself.

It takes longer.

That's because she looks
better than we do.

Looks like it's gonna rain.

What's in the package?

Curtain rods.

Ziggy computes the best option under
the circumstances is to do nothing.

Well, Ziggy doesn't want to
make another mistake.

Perhaps. But if Dr. Beckett leaped
into Oswald to uncover the conspiracy,

then doing nothing is an effective course
of action. How the hell do you figure that?

Whether Dr. Beckett is himself
or Lee Harvey Oswald is immaterial.

Either way, you'll be there to observe, to watch the sixth
floor window, the grassy knoll, the railroad overpass.

You'll see it all. You'll know the
truth. But I won't be able to stop it.

I realize that, Admiral, but you yourself said
that wasn't what Dr. Beckett was leaped back to do.

Well, what if I was wrong? What if that's
precisely the reason that Sam was leaped back?

Then Oswald would have to be
the sole assassin. That's right.

No conspiracy?
No!

Just one angry, envious man who-
who wanted to propel himself into infamy.

But one lone man?

I know it's more comforting
to believe in plots.

Because if Kennedy could be killed that easily by
one sicko, what hope is there for the rest of us?

Admiral, what are you gonna do?

I'm gonna try and find the truth.

Hey, Lee.

What's the hurry?

The morning overcast
has given way to blue skies...

and the local democratic party is predicting
a record-breaking big "D"turnout...

for President Kennedy
and his first lady.

Mrs. Kennedy has been given
a large bouquet of roses...

by admirers here in Love Field...

as she and the president stopped to greet this
crowd, which is completely covering the airport fence.

This motorcade will
get off to a late start.

There arejust too many people here in an
amazing display of goodwill to the Kennedys.

I think I'm gonna go down there
and catch some of that parade.

I admire the president very much. You
admire him, but you're going to kill him.

That's what this is about. You're
Secret Service and you're detaining me...

because you think I'm going to
shoot the president!

I know you're gonna
shoot the president.

What I want to know is:
Are you acting alone?

I don't even own a gun!

You own a 6.5 millimeter Mannlicher-Carcano
rifle and an S&W.38 Special.

The rifle is wrapped in a blanket
at Ruth Paine's house...

and the pistol is at your rooming house
at 1026 North Beckley!

You ordered both of these guns through
the mail under the alias of Alex J. Hidell.

Marina. She told you these lies.
Marina told me nothing.

But when questioned, she'll talk about
the shot you took at General Walker,

and she'll talk about locking you
in the bathroom when Nixon came to Dallas...

'cause she was afraid you were gonna
try and shoot him too. I want a lawyer.

There's no lawyer here.
There's just me and you and the truth.

I know my rights. I'm a member
of the A.C.L.U., and I have-

You're going to shoot the president from the
sixth-floor window of the Texas School Book Depository.

You're crazy! Yeah, you're
damn right I'm crazy.

I'm crazy enough to blow your brains out
your ear if I don't get the truth.

A large police escort is now-

What color is her suit?

And now ticker tape is beginning to flow from
the windows and engulf the whole motorcade.

Here comes the first car
with the police chief,

and here is the president
of the United States.

The crowd is going absolutely wild.

This is a friendly crowd
in downtown Dallas...

as the president
and the first lady pass by.

There were some fears of demonstrations
here in downtown Dallas,

but this crowd is radiating love
to the president.

Dallas Police Department is working with some
force to ensure that an unfortunate incident,

similar to those that accompanied U.N. Ambassador
Adlai Stevenson do not occur on this trip.

- I don't believe in killing someonejust because I disagree with their politics.
- Are you acting alone?

L- I want a lawyer-

- I'm deaf! I'm deaf!
- You're going to be dead in a minute if you don't tell me the truth!

Okay. Okay.
Don't hurt me.

I'm not gonna shoot the president.

- But... I know who is.
- Who?

Hidell.

The guy who ordered the guns
through the mail.

He's the one who-

- I'm lying, Al.
- Sam.

There is no conspiracy.

I'm acting alone,
and you've got to stop me.

But I can't reach you, Sam. He's
taken over completely. You have to.

You have to or it's gonna
happen all over again.

You have to find...

Hidell.

Find Alex J. Hidell.

That's the man who's gonna
shoot the president.

Sam!
Sam, listen to me! Sam!

I've got to reach you, Sam!

Sam, what are the four fundamental
forces of interactions in quantum physics?

Sam.

Sam, explain
the Pauli exclusion principle.

Sam, what is supersymmetry?
And how does it apply-

This is never gonna work.
It's all happening again.

It's November 22, 1963,
and it's all happening again!

Sam! Sam!
It's November 22, 1963!

Sam, and your dad is still alive! He's
teaching you to drive a tractor, Sam.

It's
- It's Elkridge, Indiana. You're 10 years old, and your dad is teaching you to drive a tractor.

At this very moment, your dad is still alive
and he's teaching you to drive a tractor, Sam.!

On the farm in Indiana.!

He's still alive.!

Dad.

No!

No!

Just now we have received
reports here at Parkland...

that Governor Connelly
was shot in the upper left chest...

and the first unconfirmed reports
say the president was hit in the head.

I repeat, an unconfirmed report
that the president was hit in the head.

The president's wife, Jackie Kennedy, was
not hurt. She walked into the hospital.

Thanks, Al.

If you hadn't reached me,

I would have shot
- No, it wouldn't have been you pulling that trigger, Sam. Not really.

And then when I-

I- I had a chance to save him,
I leaped.

Why, Al? Why?

Oswald's mind
finally reconnected.

And when it did, he leaped back and you leaped into
the nearest person that could accomplish your mission.

But I didn't accomplish it.
Well, maybe you did.

I didn't save him.

No. But it doesn't look like
that's what you were here to do.

Ziggy thinks you
were here to save her.

Your Swiss-cheesed mind probably
doesn't remember, but the first time...

Oswald killed Jackie too.
