Previously on 11.22.63...

What the fuck was that?

That was October 21st, 1960.

Al, why did you show this to me?

I don't know whether Oswald was the man who did it.

- Who is this? - General Walker.

Ran for Texas governor.

There was an assassination attempt on this man.

Same exact make of gun that killed Kennedy.

Did you see Oswald shoot at Walker?

George de Mohrenschildt.

If Oswald had a handler, it was him.

Russian expat.

Might be an informant, might work for Russia.

It was on October 26.

There's something there you'll really wanna see.

Lee Harvey Oswald.

The past doesn't want to be changed thing.

It pushes back?

Things would happen.

- I forget everything when I'm reading. - "From Here to Eternity."”

- Sadie Clayton. - Jake Amberson.

They were both random and violent.

You ain't going nowhere.

Frank was married to my older sister Clara.

He killed her 12 years ago.

It worked.

Hey! What the hell is this?

How the hell do you have a paper dated 1963

You said you knew things.

And you know what was gonna happen, and then you killed Frank Dunning.

And then I find this? Hmm?

I'm taking you to the cops.

Great. Well, then they'll arrest us both.

Hell, they do.

You were in the house. You'll be an accomplice.

I didn't do anything.

And what's this about?

Hmm?

I read all this shit.

Baseball games in 1962 and '63.

Newspaper stories that haven't happened yet.

I'm here to keep the President from being assassinated.

Someone's gonna Kill Ike?

No, President Kennedy.

You come from the future when?

2016.

So you're saying a guy's gonna kill the President in three years.

Why not take him out right now?

And Oswald's in Russia right now.

What the fuck's he doing in Russia?

He defected. He comes back in 1962. It's...

It's complicated.

Prove that you're from the future.

Say something that's gonna happen. Something I can check.

I can't.

Fuck, I don't know, uh... What else can I tell you?

Look in that book.

These fights in 1962, those are the winners?

Yeah.

If what you say is true, could you save someone else, too?

What?

My sister, Clara.

The one Frank Dunning killed.

If you can go to other times, bring her back.

I could only go back to 1960.

That's how it works, I'm sorry.

Never mind.

Look, drive me to Dallas, there'll be a hundred in it for you.

A hundred? Dollars?

Yeah, just take me there, drop me off, and forget you ever saw me.

I could take that hundred off of you right now.

Yeah, I guess so. You got the gun.

Fine.

You got yourself a ride.

But I'm keeping this handy.

As Winston Churchill said,

"If we open a quarrel between the present and the past,

"we shall be in danger of losing the future.

“For the world is changing, the old ways are not yours."

What the...

- I Killed you! - Get off!

I killed you!

I fuck...

- You get the fuck away from me! - I'm sorry.

All right?

Don't hurt me anymore!

Put that down, I... I was having a nightmare. I'm...

Fuck, what I wouldn't give for a minibar right now.

A what?

Never mind.

I'm sorry, I was just freaking out.

Ah. I'll be okay.

Man, if there's one thing I know, it's how to take a beating.

My daddy made sure of that.

We don't stop till we get to Dallas.

There it is. Dealey Plaza.

This is where the assassination's gonna take place.

About 2,000 books written about it and no one knows for sure what happened.

That's the Book Depository.

It's where Lee Harvey Oswald IS gonna work.

Maybe he's the shooter.

Maybe it's a CIA marksman with Lee's gun.

Maybe there's another shooter over there.

Maybe sent by Russia.

Maybe another shooter... Wherever.

Triangulation.

And you think you can figure it?

Maybe.

I know more than people know here yet.

Don't you know everything?

Not everything.

That's what scares me.

I was never much for all that Camelot shit.

I remember walking down the street.

I was just a kid.

We'd look at each other for a second, then we'd...

Look away.

Some people were crying.

Some people just stopped in the middle of the sidewalk.

'Cause we all knew.

Something had been broken in all of us,

and it could never get repaired.

Hmm.

Supposedly, Oswald tried to kill someone else before Kennedy,

using the exact same gun.

- So I'm gonna follow him... - Wait, wait.

Who else did he try to kill?

This politician named General Walker.

So, if I see Oswald trying to do that,

then I can prove he's not part of a conspiracy. And...

Conspiracy?

With who?

The people that really run things.

Maybe the...

Look, the point is, if I see Oswald shoot at Walker,

- and I know that he's alone... - Kill him, and that saves Kennedy.

Okay.

One hundred dollars.

I wanna save him, too.

No. Look...

- Bill, no. Just go home. - To what?

To Kentucky?

I ain't got shit there.

It's just the place my sister and her baby used to be.

You know, maybe you could use somebody to have your back.

I listened to you. I believed you.

Fuck it.

Bill. Bill!

If you wanna help, you can help.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Let's go save JFK, partner.

Yeah!

Jodie. Why here?

Because it's between Dallas and Fort Worth.

And Oswald's gonna be living in both places.

We set up here, and by the time Oswald gets back from Russia,

we'll be moved in to the Fort Worth apartment.

We can start betting on games then, too.

We still gotta get a job.

I went to Amherst on the GI Bill,

and I've taught all over.

I like seeing a bit of the country I fought for.

Why come to a little place like Jodie,

when there's plenty of teaching jobs in Dallas?

I didn't really take to the city.

Well, it is a shithole, all right.

When I saw your ad, I realized I was more of a small town guy.

Discipline.

You got some?

Lot of substitute teachers,

they don't know how to make the kids do what they're supposed to do.

So they just send them down here to my office

like I got nothing better to do.

Well, I haven't had any issues.

Issues?

La-di-da.

You got references?

Yes, sir.

You ever read that book Catcher in the Rye?

Yes, sir.

- You think it ought to be in the library? - Uh...

Yes.

That book has prostitution in it, among other things.

Well, Principal Simmons,

we do call ourselves the land of the free, home of the brave.

I think we can handle it.

Call me Deke.

- All my faculty does. - Okay.

Yeah, thank you, Deke.

Miz Mimi!

Yes, sir, Mr. Simmons.

Mr. Amberson here had a pretty good answer to your literary question.

But of course that Salinger book is never gonna be in the library.

Hell will freeze over before it is.

Get Mr. Amberson's paperwork all squared away for tomorrow.

He can start part time until that idiot Phil Bateman retires.

Yes, sir, Mr. Simmons.

I suppose that was a little bit indiscreet, wasn't it?

Yes, Mr. Simmons.

All right.

You watch your step with Miz Mimi there.

Thank you.

Mr. Amberson, what is your address?

I haven't settled on anything permanent yet.

Well, our physics teacher has a house for rent.

I can introduce you.

Yeah, that would be great.

All right, James Dean.

I got a job. Now it's your turn.

Then let's go celebrate your new job in Dallas.

Dallas? Let's celebrate here.

Come on.

I've lived in a small town my whole life.

I love you!

I love you.

You're killing me.

So gorgeous!

She is beautiful!

You fellas okay?

Having a good time?

Yeah, sorry, I guess my...

My little brother is having too much of a good time.

Love to see people having fun.

- This is my place. - Well, it's nice.

- Are you gonna vote for Kennedy? - Well, hey.

Let's not talk politics in here, huh?

Why, you got a problem with Kennedy?

No.

He's a great man.

Couldn't agree more. Gonna turn this country around.

Jack Ruby.

- Jack Ruby? - Yeah, is something wrong?

You look like you seen a ghost.

You know who else is a great man?

Him.

Little brothers, huh?

They have that hero worship.

No, not me. I hate my fucking brothers.

Uh, he wants to do big things.

- Okay, I think we should go. - He is gonna do big things.

He's gonna stop bad things from happening.

Okay, Bill. Come on. Shut up!

He came from the future.

Holy shit.

Bye, sweetheart.

Here you go. Thank you.

All right. Wake up.

Wake up.

All right, what's the story?

- What story? - Our story.

How do we know each other?

- We're brothers. - Mmm-hmm. And?

Uh, you were born in Maine, later we moved to Kentucky.

You went to college in the east, that's where you lost your accent.

And?

Our parents died, we sold their farm. That's it.

Never, ever change the story.

You almost fucked up everything last night, Bill.

I'm sorry.

I'm real sorry.

Oh, shit.

All right, come on now, you gotta drive me to school.

- I gotta get to work. - All right.

May I help you, Mr. Coslaw?

Miz Mimi, can Bobbi Jill change her section of Home Ec?

You let Mike talk for you now?

- Yes, Ma'am. - Miz Mimi, can I pour you a cup?

No, sir.

No, thank you, Mr. Amberson.

He's helpless.

Fortunato has walled him in,

brick by brick.

Edgar Allan Poe has trapped you.

No one will hear you scream, no one will find your body.

You can see it happening, but you cannot stop it.

So how will you get out of there?

I have to read all these?

Well, if I do my job correctly, you'll want to.

Testing.

One, two, three.

I got it!

- Mr. Amberson? - Bobbi Jill, hi.

Miz Mimi wanted to speak with you.

- Hey, Coach. - Amberson.

Looks nice, huh?

Miz Mimi, hi.

Oh, Mr. Amberson, good.

From Here to Eternity.

That's original.

Mr. Amberson, this is Miss Dunhill.

Yeah, we've met before.

- Have we? - Yeah, in Dallas about two years ago.

- I left my bag. - You did.

Oh, how funny.

Yeah.

Miss Dunhill is our new librarian.

Oh.

- Great. - I was reading and

I left my bag, and he so thoughtfully returned it to me.

I'm just glad your husband didn't kill you.

No husband.

No, yeah, you had a ring

- and you made a joke... - No husband.

- Oh. - Mr. Amberson,

we had two teachers scheduled to chaperone the dance this Thursday.

Mrs. Squillace has a sore throat, and Mr. Martin's mother is ill.

Again.

Miss Dunhill has volunteered,

but it's not possible for her to chaperone alone.

- Will you help? - This Thursday?

- Oh, I hate to say no. - Then don't.

- I have a commitment. - The hell you do.

Pardon my French, Miss Dunhill.

No, that's what I was gonna say.

I knew we made a good decision with you.

Reschedule your commitment, son.

Uh... Hell, okay.

Come with me, I'll get you a set of keys.

You can thank me later.

Fort Worth will be your home base.

I'll stay here part time.

The important thing is we'll have eyes on Oswald.

This neighborhood smells like crap.

Yeah, thank God Oswald only lives here for six months.

Come on.

All right.

This a mixed-race neighborhood?

Yeah. Jesus, Bill, who cares?

I ain't got a thing in the world against niggers.

It was God who cursed them to their position, not me.

Can you give us a minute?

Talk amongst yourselves.

That's where they're gonna move in.

Oswald arrives back in a few days.

We're gonna live here for six months?

Well, what's it gonna be, fellas?

Place like this not gonna be empty long.

All right. We'll take it.

Get out of here.

I said I can't help you.

Miz Mimi?

- Mr. Amberson. - You okay?

I just ran out of gas.

I walked 12 blocks to this station.

Told this gentleman my predicament.

He just informed me that I cannot buy gas here.

Hold on.

Excuse me!

- May I help you, sir? - Yeah, I need some gas.

Well, let me finish it off for you.

Uh, no, I need it in a can.

No.

I don't think so.

Are you kidding me?

Niggertown is a mile across the tracks.

She can buy her gas there, like it's supposed to be.

What the hell are you... Hey!

Put that down, that's my...

Hey, why don't you shut your fucking mouth?

All right.

Excuse my language, Miz Mimi.

I got the equipment all lined up.

Sergeant Pete's bringing it over.

Shut your cake-hole, Rafael!

Oh!

That one's the man.

- Hey, hey, hey, hey. - You wetback son of a bitch!

Marecon!

Hey, shut up! Shut up! Get in the car.

Just get in the car. Get in the car.

That guy's bad news.

We need to take care of guys like that.

What we need to do is stay under the radar.

Got it?

- Lee. - Mom. Ma.

Oh. Darling. I did not think that I would ever see you again as long as I lived.

I thought you were gonna stay in that godforsaken country.

- Oh, you look so... You look so good. - Ma, let me say hi to Bobby, please.

- You say hello to your brother. - How are you?

Good to see you.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Does she speak any English? - Uh, a little.

Where are the reporters?

The repo... What reporters?

For the homecoming of the only US Marine ever to defect.

Now Lee, don't start talking like that now.

There's no need. Give me your hand.

We are gonna go home,

and we're gonna go home as a family and we're gonna have fried chicken.

And we're gonna have collard...

Lee is back.

He lives with his mother for a week.

Which means we have to get his place bugged tonight.

And we need to find out when Oswald starts talking about General Walker

and who he starts talking about him to.

And now just connect this to that radio there.

And then just... Yeah. Screw it in. Yeah.

Just like that. That's it.

- Sounds like General Walker. - Yeah.

Deal with traitors like these.

You a fan?

Served with him in WW II.

Love the man.

So, what do we got?

Voice-activated surveillance, new from Japan.

You're gonna aim this outside,

you catch everything they say walking up, all right?

Now, look over here.

Wireless microphones.

Gotta love these babies.

Got your long range, got your short range.

You put them behind pictures and such.

They get their power from a transmitter I've wired here.

Like the, uh, tenants just left their old radio.

- Copy? - Yeah.

That's it.

Goddamn shame the Japs pulled ahead in electronics.

We bomb them to shit, they're in first anyway.

We gonna come back, though.

God bless Texas.

God bless.

Hey.

You boys going to the rally next week?

- General Walker's having a rally? - I can introduce you.

He has men over to his house once a month.

And we hablo about the crisis in America.

Yeah, maybe. Sounds interesting.

Good luck bugging your wife's place.

- You get yourself that divorce. - Okay.

- See you, Bill. - Bye, Sarge.

Hey, so, uh, I'm gonna go back to Jodie tonight.

I'll be back by 10:00.

How's it going, partner?

- Made a bust. - Oh.

Can we smoke what we confiscate?

Yeah, although I think we have bigger troubles.

It's Jim LaDue, quarterback.

Danny Parsich and Phillip Gardener.

Master criminals.

Let's get them.

Jim La!

How's it going?

- Got anything for me, guys? - No.

Come on, cough it up to the lady.

All of you, come on.

Now get out there and have some clean fun, why don't you?

Okay.

Maybe we should go inspect this punch.

Grab a couple cups.

Come on. Let's go, let's go.

It's gonna be hard to settle the issue of what's in this.

Gin or vodka?

I'm sure it's a very subtle mix, so...

Don't jump to any judgments.

I'm sorry I brought up your husband.

I have thin skin, it's okay.

People in Texas, they're not exactly welcoming to a divorcee.

In Maine, neither. That's why I left.

Hmm. You're divorced.

It's different for men.

Cheers.

From here to eternity, and to starting over.

- Amen. - Amen.

Mmm.

It's a lot of something. Yeah.

So you're from Maine?

Yes.

It's so pretty.

I visited my cousins there. They're from Lisbon.

- That's where I'm from. - Please.

I'm not kidding.

I think I had the best milkshake of my life in Lisbon.

How long ago were you there?

Two years ago.

Well, we just missed each other.

To timing.

To timing.

Hey!

Well, come on.

Chicken?

Now here's something from back in the day,

when our chaperones Mr. Amberson and Miss Dunhill were young!

Chicken, huh?

How do you know how to do this?

My ex-wife made me take lessons.

We're a good team.

Well...

- Yeah. - Yeah.

Guess we better do some chaperoning.

Okay. Yeah.

Look, um... I have an emergency.

- An emergency? - Yeah. I have to go.

I will be back in one hour. Two hours tops.

- Okay? - You're leaving?

Yeah. I'll be back. Okay?

I'll be back.

You're sure they're not gonna be here?

They're staying with his mom right now.

What the hell's that?

- It's them. It's them! - You said they're at his mom's!

Come on.

Finally, some privacy.

Do you like?

Turn that off.

- Did all right, hey? - Papa did all right.

And I thought it would be little bit nicer.

You want nice?

Well, I got nice.

That's not playing fair.

No.

Lee.

Come here.

- I love you. - I love you, Marina.

Come on. Come on.

Quiet.

Who the fuck is there?

Huh, you wanna mess with me? Huh?

Come down here and face me!

That's right!

You run, you fucker!

Yeah, you come back and I will nail you to the fucking wall!

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scream, I just...

Spiders!

We're getting closer to Oswald.

It's the past pushing back.

It felt like spiders.

Thieving sons of bitches!

You have no right coming here!

They think that they can come into your house!

- It's voice-activated. - We did it. We did it!

- It works! - All right, listen.

We need to get as much tape as possible.

If he says anything about General Walker, we have to hear it.

Marina, I am not in the mood!

Give me a few, okay?

Lee!

Sadie. Shit.

Have a good day.

Sadie. Hi.

I'm so sorry.

For what?

For leaving.

Oh. Did you leave?

- Yeah, I had no idea it would take... - Yeah, yeah, your emergency.

Things happen.

Yeah. I'm sorry.

All right.

Good morning, Coach.

You left Miss Dunhill to chaperone alone.

It was an emergency.

That is very disappointing.

Miz Mimi, I'm really sorry.

Apologies are like dandelions, Mr. Amberson.

They're pretty enough and they sprout up fast,

but they don't have much substance.

What have I told you about smoking in this house?

We have a baby right here, Marina.

I go to work all day long, Marina,

- and I come back, I would like... - Lee, you're in a bad mood.

- What did you do all day? - I have been changing diapers.

I never got much time with your Papa before he was taken...

I work all day long, and I come back, and I would like...

Getting nowhere. All that guy does is complain.

Comfort her. Pick her up.

Why don't you do it?

Where's my book?

- She miss us? - No, no, the other one.

Both on the table.

- This is what I can afford, Mom. - Oh, my God.

I'm no slut.

- Mom. - I did not call her that.

What'd you say?

I told her to begin...

I feel for Marina, I really do.

Oh, man.

That night, they went on and on and on and on about her dress.

She dresses nice, you know?

I mean, not like a nun, but nice.

Lee's mother ought to be happy that her son's got such a nice looking wife.

I tell you, every...

Surprise. The welcome wagon is here.

Oh, my God.

What is it?

It's George.

He's CIA.

- You're shitting me! - No, that's George De Mohrenschildt.

I saw him in Dallas two years ago.

We have to hear if shooting General Walker is George's idea or Lee's.

This might be the start of the whole thing.

Okay, but let's not leave Marina out of this.

Are they gonna talk about Walker?

If they do, then we'll know that Lee wasn't acting alone.

The English language remains popular in this country, you know.

Ma.

She's right. What do we do if they keep speaking Russian?

Fuck!

Just shoot me right now. We could've spent the last two years

learning fucking Russian!

I couldn't learn any Russian.

Should we walk?

Should we follow?

No, they'd see us.

All right, look, we need to get a Russian to English dictionary.

That'll, it'll get us started at least.

They make those?

Yeah, they might have one at the school library, I can get in there now.

Look, they'll... They're gonna come back. You just stay here.

Make sure the tapes keep running, okay? Record it all!

Hey, Bill. I got the dictionary.

Bill?

Bill! Hey!

Bill! Bill!

Bill! Hey. Hey.

You all right?

Huh?

What happened?

- Rafael. - What?

He and some guys pushed in here, stole the stuff.

Rafael?

Fuck!

I told you, you shouldn't have let him call us homos.

- FBI! Hands up! - Where's our stuff?

Shit!

This is all useless now! We're gonna have to start all over.

- No way you jotos are FBI! - Yeah?

You compromised a federal investigation!

None of this can be replaced!

Do you want me to fuck with you?

- Huh? Surveil you? - Hey.

What?

Goddamn it. All right. Come on.

Get up, you're helping us put it back. Let's go.

Okay, okay.

Let's go!

Hey. Let me help you.

That's okay.

I'm used to doing things on my own.

Right. Listen,

can I make a real apology

about the other night at the dance?

I had no idea how rough it would be for you to chaperone alone, and...

Look, I was an ass.

And I really didn't mean to leave the whole night.

It was just a mistake.

So, if there's anything I can do, I really,

I really just wanna make things right with you.

Okay.

I liked dancing with you.

Me too.

Take me out to dinner this weekend.

Definitely.

Um, Saturday.

Saturday's good.

Pick me up at 6.00?

I'll be there.

I don't see any need for us to waste our time, do you?

Mmm-mmm.

Oh... And Jake,

don't ever do anything like that to me again.

You left me alone with 200 kids, it was embarrassing.

And I practically broke my back trying to put all those chairs away.

You understand?

Yes, ma'am.

Good.

You said that Oswald said he was gonna be here.

Yeah. I heard him tell Marina.

The values our fathers died for,

our grandfathers bled for,

all the ideals the Sisters of Southern Heritage stand for,

are being trampled underfoot by the Kennedys!

- Yes, sir. - All right.

John and his little brother, Bobby,

don't appreciate how the poll tax preserves Southern culture.

But now I'm free to speak my mind.

I'm free to name the civil rights movement

- for the Communist conspiracy it is! - Oswald.

He brought George.

Or George brought him.

- And now the Kennedys want to... - So,

does the CIA want to get the General?

- I don't know. - Are we gonna stop them?

Will you come with me to Mississippi to stop them?

Why would George bring him here?

It's time to move.

He's baiting him.

Getting his blood up.

Pushed around far too much by the anti-Christ Supreme Court!

Rise! It's now or never!

Nice speech, General!

Oh, I'm glad you boys came.

It's interesting.

- Really interesting. - Oh, hey. I can introduce you.

- No, we gotta go. - What?

- Yeah, thank you. - Okay.

- All right, Bill. Take care. - Come on, Bill.

General Walker.

General Walker.

Do you know what a fascist is?

- Sir! Step back! - I was just asking...

Have you ever picked up a history book?

"Cause Hitler would be real proud of you.

Hey, stop!

Get back!

- Get down there. - Right there!

You racist son of a whore!

You know, it was like this in Munich!

Get him out of here!

It was like this in fucking Berlin!

Okay. Okay. Okay!

I told you, stay back!

Go on, get!

You like the General, huh?

You think that the General is a great guy?

You think that that fascist has something to say?

I have something to say!

I have something to say!

Wake up!

All right, stay down!

Wake up, you fucking fascists!

Wake up!

Or I will kill you! I'll fucking Kill you!
