Kind of cleans me out.

You happen to know any place around here

a guy might place a bet?

A little more than a friendly wager?

There you go, chicken. It's on the house.

Hey, guy down at the car lot

said this was a place somebody could

make a wager.

Not from around here, are you?

No, uh... James Amberson.

I'm in town on a little business.

I'm gonna be here for a while.

What are you looking to make a bet on?

Fight of the week, Sanchez versus Jofre.

Jofre to win.

3 to 1 odds.

3 to 1? That's it?

Yeah, that's it.

Want to make it interesting?

Name the round.

Okay.

What if I said Jofre'll knock him out in

sixth round?

Ah, I'd say 35 to 1.

Wow. 35 to 1?

Hell, I'll make that bet.

Hey.

You want to take 35 to 1?

Do it, Sam.

Okay.

You got a bet.

Oh, yeah? - Yeah.

Well, great. Uh...

How about $100?

$100?

Or...

you know, whatever.

I'll cover that bet.

You will?

What's the name?

James Amberson.

My friends call me Little Eddie.

Little Eddie?

Let me buy you a drink.

We can listen together.

Buster Henderson yelling instructions

from Jofre's camp,

but Jofre can't seem to get up.

30 seconds to go... - You got him, you got him.

Come on, buddy. - Come on.

Grazing shot, Jofre's still walking,

stalking forward.

Jofre still game, still carries the big bomb,

still can unleash that heavy leather,

but Sanchez is tossing...

Doesn't look too good for your man Jofre.

Yeah, I can hear. - Ladies and gentlemen,

we are seeing Jofre turn it around.

A flurry of uppercuts. - What?

Beautiful shots all the way.

What are you doing? - Here he comes.

Come on, buddy.

Come on, Jofre!

Sanchez is stunned! - Get up!

Get up! - Get up off the canvas.

Sanchez, flat on his back. Wait, he's getting up...

Oh! - No!

Sanchez is down! - Get up!

Get up! - Five, six, seven, eight...

Yeah! - Nine...

All right! - The fight is over!

The fight is over!

Jofre has knocked out Sanchez!

Nobody saw this coming!

Was that the sixth round?

You won.

Yeah.

Did you just win a 35 to 1 bet?

Yeah. Guess I'm lucky.

Guess so.

All right, thank you, Little Eddie.

Count it.

No, it's okay. I trust you.

Count it.

Make sure it's all there.

Okay.

That looks like it's all there. $3,600.

Okay, well, I should get going,

but I really appreciate the bet, so...

He appreciates the bet.

Enjoy your time in Lisbon.

Maybe I'll see you guys around.

Hey, nice wheels.

Thanks.

See ya.

Welcome to the Tamarack Motor Court.

I need a room, do you have one?

Okeydoke.

Okay.

$5.

All right.

Room eight's ready for you.

Thank you.

You're being paranoid.

Okay, people make bets all the time.

Those guys, they win and lose every night.

All right? You're being paranoid.

Oh, no. Oh, no.

Oh, no.

Shit.

Jesus Christ!

Mm.

Hi!

You's going the wrong way, sir.

Oh, Jesus Christ.

You okay? You all right?

Excuse me.

Sorry, sorry. - Oh.

Greta, you're okay? - Yes.

Okay, say a prayer, let's move along.

Move along, girls.

Move along.

Sorry.

You were clearly outnumbered.

Exactly, that's why I had to stand my ground.

Well, good for you.

You got something against Catholics?

Uh, Miss?

Miss, you left this.

Thank you.

I forget everything when I'm reading.

Me, too.

One time I was 12 and

I was reading "Of Mice and Men" on the bus

and missed every stop.

Admit it, you cried.

"Of Mice and Men"?

Like a baby.

Well, last month, I was reading a Chandler novel

and I lost my other handbag, so thank you.

Got to stop doing that.

"From Here to Eternity."

Which do you like better, the book or the movie?

Please. The book's always better.

Everybody knows that.

Yeah... how 'bout "The Manchurian Candidate"?

Is that a film? I know the book.

No, it's not, but maybe they'll make one someday.

Then maybe I'll change my mind.

Yeah.

Sadie Clayton.

Hi, Jake, uh, Amberson.

Well, thank you for coming to the rescue, Mr. Amberson.

Yeah.

My husband would kill me if I lost another handbag.

Right.

No ladies in your room after 7:00,

and this'll be the common room.

You may enjoy it any time you like.

Breakfast and supper are included in the weekly rate.

This is my son Henry.

Hello. - Sir.

Doing your homework. Good boy.

Now, how did you find us?

Was it the sign outside?

No, actually a friend told me about this place.

Al Templeton?

He stayed here.

I don't recall anybody by that name.

Oh, my mistake.

What brings you to Dallas, Mr. Amberson?

Doing research for a book that I'm writing.

Oh, a writer?

It's perfect.

Supper's at 6:00.

Thanks.

All right.

Do your homework.

You need to be prepared for what's to come.

I've put everything I know into those files.

You're gonna feel apart from other people.

That doesn't go away.

But tread lightly.

Don't get too close to anyone.

It never ends well.

You see, the past doesn't want to be changed.

There are times when you feel it push back, you know?

You feel it.

When you're close to changing something,

it's hard to describe, but you'll know.

If you do something that really fucks with the past,

the past fucks with you.

Operator.

Hi, can you give me the number for a Christopher Epping

in Chicago, Illinois?

$0.35.

Connecting to Christopher Epping...

Hello?

Hello?

What? - Hello, hello?

Dad? - Can you hear me?

Dad?

Dad?

Are you there?

Oh, my God.

You shouldn't be here.

He argued with Mr. Khrushchev in the kitchen, it is true,

pointing out that while we may be behind in space,

we were ahead in color television.

Freedom is not communism.

Mr. Amberson? - Yeah?

Are you all right? - Yeah, I'm fine.

Can I get you anything?

No, it's okay.

I'm... I'm okay.

Oh, Mr. Amberson,

you had me worried last night.

I'm sorry about that.

Oh, don't be sorry.

I'm glad you're feeling better.

Let me make you some fresh coffee.

Please.

Good morning, sir.

Good morning.

How old are you?

I'm 14, sir.

You headed to the Army?

Soon as I turn 18.

Mind if I ask why?

Because I want to serve my country, sir.

Okay.

Henry, don't eat with your fingers.

Here you go.

Thank you. - You're welcome.

Oswald doesn't get back from Russia for two years.

And in 1963, somebody shoots at General Walker.

In the meantime, there are plenty of other leads to follow.

On October 26th, follow George.

Just go where he goes, then you'll understand.

Who the hell is George?

That tastes like snot.

Yeah.

George de Mohrenschildt, Russian expat.

He's educated, charming, rich,

belongs to the Dallas Petroleum Club,

and in 1962, he becomes Lee's best friend.

We heard there was a couple, moved here from... Russia,

and they were having a very bad time,

financially, and so I went to see them.

Tell me, Jake,

why is this guy hanging out in Lee's shitty apartment?

They're swingers?

Lee had taken the cigarette from her

and had put it out on her shoulder.

If Oswald had a handler, it was him.

All right, hold on. You lost me.

A handler? What... what does that mean?

George told Oswald to shoot Kennedy?

If Lee was set up, then George was the only guy

who could've done it.

You need to cross off that possibility.

All right, and if I do that, then what?

Then you kill Oswald.

Where the hell are you going, George de Morenfuck?

Lyndon Johnson and I do not promise a life of ease.

We cannot promise a solution to the problems

which disturb our lives.

But we can promise that if we are successful,

we shall move with vigor and vitality on the problems

which disturb us here and around the world.

Thomas Paine...

Thomas Paine, in the revolution of 1776...

Isn't he wonderful? Yes. - Yeah.

Said that the cause of America is the cause of all mankind.

I think in the revolution of 1960

that the cause of all mankind is the cause of America.

And as we move ahead, we think not only of the City of Dallas

and the City of Boston,

the State of Massachusetts and the State of Texas,

the United States.

We think of all those who wish to join us

in a great effort around the world

to maintain their freedom and maintain the peace.

We ask your help in this campaign.

Give us your voice.

Give us your help.

Join with us in this effort to move this country ahead.

Just checking in.

Uh, Al Templeton.

I don't see that name here.

Oh, I'm a guest of George de Mohrenschildt.

He doesn't like my name on any lists.

I assure you he'll be very upset

if I don't make this appointment.

Thank you.

Yes, a little bit. I'll take one of those.

Your suit collar looked lonely.

Oh, then you should give me two.

You like working for the campaign?

I think Senator Kennedy is the one person who's really,

really gonna make a difference.

Yeah.

Oh, could I get one?

Of course.

Oh, thank you.

Oh, look, Jackie's here. - There she is.

Mrs. Kennedy! - Mrs. Kennedy, a photo, please?

One more.

Mrs. Kennedy? - Mrs. Kennedy!

Jackie, Jackie.

Hey, you shouldn't be here.

Oh, no, I'm just waiting for George.

Yeah, just come with me, okay?

Oh, no it's okay.

Oh!

Let's go.

Stop him!

Over there! - Hey, hey, hey, stop!

Going that way!

I don't know, I don't see him!

He's got to be in here!

Aah! Aah!

Aah!

Wakey, wakey, sunshine. Let's go.

James Amberson from Maine.

Yeah. - Pretty far from home.

Yeah, I just came to see the president.

I mean, senator Kennedy.

Well, you scammed your way into the senator's VIP room.

There are people out there who don't like the Kennedy campaign.

Well, that's not me.

I love the guy.

Well, why did you give a fake ID?

And then run away?

That looks bad.

I'm not interested in spending the rest of the night

in this basement.

Who are you?

Why were you in the VIP room?

Why are you here?

Is he still here? - Who?

JFK, uh...

Jack... is on the right track.

I'm gonna be honest with you guys.

I came out here to shake the man's hand.

I just think he is the best that this country

has to offer, all right?

Get ready for greatness.

And that speech? Did you hear? You heard it, right?

I mean, you heard that speech.

I-I just wanted to tell him face-to-face

that I am a believer.

Do you know what I'm talking about?

Shut up, for the love of God.

Do you know what I'm talking about?

Just shut up, shut up.

I mean, can you blame me for wanting to tell the guy

I'm gonna vote for that I'm a believer?

You can't arrest me for enthusiasm, right?

There's no law against that.

Actually, you're wrong about that.

And if I catch your enthusiastic ass near Kennedy's campaign

again, we'll bring you up on charges.

Don't go places you're not invited.

Okay, right. Um...

Will you just do one thing for me?

Just tell him that I'm his number one fan.

Will you do that?

Sure.

Thank you, all right, thank you.

Okay, see you later.

So George de Mohrenschildt

might be an informant,

might work for Russia.

He's got interests in Haiti,

pals around with Duvalier; who knows what else.

He told a reporter in 1977

that it was the CIA

who gave him Oswald's address.

And then he was asked to testify in front of

the House Committee on Assassinations.

Next day?

He committed suicide.

Supposedly.

I followed him while I could in 1960.

And there was one night...

One night I realized was actually an important night.

Because I felt the past push back.

He took his wife Jean out to dinner at El Conejo.

All the movers and shakers in Dallas ate there.

Best Tex-Mex place in town.

First thing I felt

was an argument outside the restaurant got out of hand.

Don't get drawn in.

You need to get the hell out of the way.

His wife goes off to the bar

and he heads into the restaurant alone.

May I take your coat, sir? - No, it's fine, thank you.

The fella out front is gonna say, "No tables available."

Sorry, sir,

without reservation we won't be able to...

So have cash.

Oh, I think I can help you.

Can I take your coat, please?

No, it's fine, but may I have that table

right there so I can be close to the band?

Of course.

Thank you very much. - You're very welcome.

This is where you want to be careful,

because one minute, I was walking down the stairs,

and the next, I was on fire.

Sent me to the hospital,

and it kept me from following de Mohrenschildt

all the way into the restaurant.

I never got to see who he met with.

Oh!

Be careful.

Are you okay? I'm so sorry, senor.

Yeah, I'm fine.

Your coat. - Yeah, just leave it.

Are you sure? - Yeah, it's okay.

Once you're past the fire, I can't help you anymore.

You're on your own.

Oh, my God.

I'm so sorry. Are you okay?

Are you okay? - I don't know what's going on

tonight. I'm so sorry.

We'll clean that up right away.

Maestro, musica.

Your table.

I'm so sorry.

Could I get you a cocktail?

It's on the house.

Oh, uh... margarita. - Right away.

Of course, I've always admired Allen Dulles.

None of this, you understand, is completely on the books.

A man like me wants his life to matter.

Senor, here's your margarita,

and are you ready to place your order for your first...

I'll order later.

Of course, senor, may I make a suggestion of the special?

Late, later, not hungry now. - Of course, senor, of course.

Take your time. It's a short list.

Just a couple guys we'd like to know a little bit more about.

We've been instructed by Langley to meet with

prospective assets such as yourself.

He's still angry about Stalin seizing his estates.

Antonov, no.

Belinsky sometimes complains about the U.S.

but knows he has it good.

Lee Harvey Oswald?

He's a nobody.

I'll let you know what I learn.

We'll be in contact.

No one knows when George first met with the CIA.

But the CIA recruited him. This we know.

What we don't know is if George recruited Oswald

to kill Kennedy.

Oh! - Oh!

I'm sorry.

I-I'm sorry.

Holy shit, that was the CIA.

That was the Goddamn CIA.

You were right, Al.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Aah!

No, stop. - No, all my stuff is in there.

Stop, just stop.

No, no, no! Help him! Henry!

Oh, why? Oh, how can...

My son!

Oh, shit.

Shit, shit, shit.

Sir, you shouldn't be here.

Yeah, know what, you're right.

I shouldn't be here.

I can't do this.

There are beds available down at the shelter.

No, I'm done.

I'm going back to Maine.

The day that changed my life wasn't a day, but a night.

It was Halloween night.

It was the night my father murdered my mom

and my brother

and my sister with a hammer

and hurt me bad.

It was 1960.

I lived in Holden, Kentucky.

Hey, mister.

You lost?

How far is Holden?

Yeah, turn around.

Head south down Route 13 for about 30 miles.

Not much of a town, though.

Why'd you want to go there?

'Cause I might be able to do one thing.

Thank you very much.

Bang, got you, you're dead.

Come on, Ellen, now you're dead.

Aah!

Ellen, for goodness sakes, turn down the drama.

The neighbors are gonna think someone's dying over here.

Daddy!

Hey, don't suppose any of you kids want any ice cream, do you?

I do! - You do? Come here!

Come here, Buster.

All right, let's get in there.

You guys in the back.

You're looking beautiful, Doris.

Have them home by 6:00.

Come on, Harry.

What, you don't like ice cream?

Come here, you. Come here, you.

You're going in the front. You're going in the front.

You're going in the window. Get in there, get in there.
