Previously on 11.22.63...

The point is, if I see Oswald shoot at Walker,

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

Could you save someone else, too?

My sister, Clara.

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

I can only go back to 1960.

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

Right underneath them makes things a lot easier.

They still have no idea who we are.

Let's keep it that way.

People will wanna know that I stand for something.

Ready?

George is the gun, Lee's the bullet.

CIA is pulling the trigger.

What do we do now?

I'm here because I love everything about you.

You are a wonder.

Now, I don't think that we have been formally introduced.

I'm Sadie's husband.

Why don't you give her the divorce.

And then crawl back under your rock.

You two deserve each other.

Jake, are you here?

- Sadie. - Who are you?

Sadie.

Sadie.

Sadie, please...

Sadie, hey...

- Are you all right? Sadie... - Don't touch me!

- Sadie, Sadie, Sadie, Sadie, please. - Don't touch me.

Sadie, can we just go inside and talk?

I'm not going anywhere with you, let go!

It's not what you...

What did I just hear on a tape in your basement?

What was that?

A drama, okay, those are actors, Russian actors...

Everything you say is a lie!

Look at me and say it again.

You can't.

- Maybe... - All I want from you is honesty.

Maybe I can't tell you because I'm trying to protect you!

I don't need protecting from you.

It makes me sick that you can look at me and lie to me like that.

Stay away from me!

- Sadie... - Stay away from me, Jake!

Odysseus is offered eternal life with the nymph Calypso, but he declines.

Now, why, do we think, he would choose to remain mortal?

All right, put your books down.

Forget the Odyssey.

Pretend you can go back in time.

You go back in time,

and you can change one thing,

one thing to alter history,

what would you do?

- How would we travel back in time? - Doesn't matter.

You have a time machine. Bang, you're there. Now, what do you do?

But are you talking about time travel that actually utilizes electromagnetic energy

or is it a magical...

Glenn, it doesn't matter, okay.

The point is, you're there.

I'm looking for something that will help humanity, help the world.

- What would you do? - Kill Hitler.

Kill Hitler, okay.

No, kill Saddam Hussein.

You'd kill Hussein over Hitler? You're high.

What if we go to 1930, when Hitler and Stalin met, and kill them both.

Hitler and Stalin never met, idiot.

Okay, lots of killing going on.

Or we could go back and kill Homer

so we wouldn't have to read this dumb book.

Yeah, just kill Homer, dude!

Yeah, which wouldn't be hard. He's blind.

God damn it, Jake.

You're in a Dallas whorehouse,

then you've got some kind of recording setup with some Russian filth.

I don't really give a damn what your side of the story is.

Contract you signed has a moral clause in it.

You're not the man I thought you were.

So, I'm... I'm fired?

It'll be easier for you to get another job if you resign.

Deke.

I'm the same guy that walked through that door

every day for the past two years.

I got Mike Coslaw to act.

I got Jim LaDue to memorize poetry.

Yeats, for Christ sake.

Doesn't that count for anything?

It's why I've let you talk this long.

I thought we were friends.

We were.

And I wish things had worked out differently.

Okay.

I've got somewhere else to be.

Well, you better get there then.

Miz Mimi's got your termination papers ready.

He said you have a form for me to sign.

Yes, sir.

I'm sorry, sir, I thought I had it. I can't... I can't find the correct forms.

It's okay. Miz Mimi, just mail it to me.

Goodbye.

Maybe it's for the best.

No, sir. I don't believe that.

Thank you.

Did you see Oswald shoot at Walker?

No...

I lasted 'til December third, 1962.

If I had seen Oswald shoot that gun,

alone,

with my own two eyes,

I would've taken the fucker out and know it would have made a difference.

There it is. General Walker's.

Tomorrow, someone takes a shot.

So all we gotta do is see if Lee was really alone.

Didn't we hear George tell him to do it for the CIA?

Yeah, but sometimes I think, Lee's a patsy caught in a conspiracy.

Sometimes I think he's just a lone crazy man.

The real litmus test is if he's here alone with that gun tomorrow night.

What's with the upside down flags?

You went to that rally.

Walker's a fucking sociopath.

Socio what?

He's crazy.

Is it bad I'm rootin' for Lee to hit the guy?

Come on.

All right.

So, 9:00, tomorrow night is when it goes down.

There's a church service that gets out around then.

Right over there.

The theory is Lee planned it so that he could disappear into the crowd.

All right?

Nine o'clock, Walker's there at his desk.

According to history, the bullet goes through that window.

It's a pretty easy shot.

Yeah, except Lee misses.

Walker gets some shrapnel in the arm, that's it.

So, if you're gonna shoot someone through that window, where would you be?

Anywhere here.

Yeah, so tomorrow, we're gonna have to find a spot

where we can watch and not be seen.

But even if Oswald's here alone

to kill General Walker,

how does that prove he's gonna kill Kennedy in six months?

Because he's using the same fucking gun

with the same fucking bullets that blows Kennedy's head off!

Yeah, yeah, yeah but doesn't General Walker hate JFK?

Why would Lee try to kill both of them?

I don't know, Bill.

It doesn't matter why he shoots.

All that matters is if he shoots.

- Jake. - Come on, come on.

You need to stop speaking Russian to the child. Honestly.

Here you go.

Junie doesn't need to have other children thinking

that she comes from a country that wants to kill us.

But Lee wants June speak both.

She can learn Russian when she's older, if she wants to.

Bill.

But right now, she needs to learn...

Get over here.

She's tough.

Marguerite never lets up on Marina.

- Did you check the spares on both cars? - Mmm-hmm.

What about the spark plugs?

The spark plugs?

Bill, we're going up against the past.

Tomorrow anything can happen. And it will.

All we can do is try and be ready.

That means check everything!

Batteries in the flashlights, extra car battery,

tools in case we get a flat tire. Everything.

Diapers?

Trust me.

Everything's fine, okay? We're good to go.

Okay.

After tomorrow, what happens then?

Well,

I guess I kill Oswald, and anyone involved

and hope I don't get arrested.

You haven't talked much about how you're gonna do that part.

Maybe, I don't want to think about it.

So...

Look, we can talk about that later, okay?

If we pull this off, which I think we can, I'm gonna go back to Maine,

I'm gonna go into the rabbit hole, come out the other side,

see what America in 2016 looks like.

I hope we made it better.

What about me?

Do I come with you?

Oh.

I'll leave you Al's book.

You can, you can make the rest of the bets and buy a house.

What happens tomorrow if you get caught?

We're not gonna get caught.

I'm gonna fill these up.

All right, so if George shows up...

I follow George, you stay with Lee.

Yeah, all right, now, here,

you take this, 'til I see you, okay?

I got to go back to Jodie.

I wanna sweep the house.

Jake Amberson, the teacher, needs to be erased.

What about Sadie?

I was fooling myself, thinking I could be with her.

I came to the past for a reason, right?

- Right. - Okay.

Today's the day.

- Hello? - Hello, Jake. Do you know who this is?

Johnny.

I have been thinking a lot about what you said to me

and I would like to, you know, continue our little chat.

So, why don't you come over?

Where are you?

Oh, Jake...

You know the address. You've shaken the bed frame here plenty.

Jake, don't come!

Johnny, Johnny.

Johnny.

Johnny!

Hello?

It's just you. I can't be there.

What? Jake?

Bill, forget the plan. I can't make it to Walker's.

You're gonna have to do this alone.

What are you talking about?

Jake?

Jake?

We're back here.

There he is! You got here fast!

Here, have a seat.

Okay, okay. Just stop, please.

All right, we can all walk away, we won't say anything.

Please, we can work it out.

Jake! Jake, I'm gonna be the one doing the talking today, okay?

You can speak, well, when I ask you a question.

That seems fair, right?

Oh, no, no.

Hands, hands in your lap, yeah, like a lady should.

Yeah. You curious to see what she looks like?

Jesus.

Jesus Christ!

Jake. I don't remember asking you a question.

She's... She's not gonna be pretty anymore.

Have you ever been married, Jake?

- Yes. - Yeah?

Well, then you know.

Marriage, it's all about compromise.

Yeah, that's what makes a healthy relationship.

So, when Sadie left,

I thought she could... She only needed some time to sort things out, right?

But when I finally found her,

I noticed that something was different.

Well, she had dirtied herself.

All right. Dirty little bird.

Oh.

But, you know, hey, stains can be cleaned. Right?

Or so I thought.

Until, you told me, what she told you.

Personal details that should stay between a man and his wife.

So, you did this to her.

You did this!

Mister Jacob Amberson, cockboy!

You turned my wife into your dirty bird whore!

Sticking your thing into her wormyhole!

Please, don't! Look! We didn't have sex.

If you are gonna lie to me, Jake,

then I'm just not gonna let you talk at all!

I'm not...

I listened to the rattling, squealing,

you're just like little pigs!

Do you... Do you love her?

Yes.

- Then, kiss her. - What?

Stick your tongue into her whore mouth, cockboy!

- Now, kiss her! - Okay. All right.

Get ready.

- Can I, please, just bandage her face? - Oh, uh...

No.

No, don't you worry about that. We're almost... We're almost done.

Here, have a drink.

What is... What is that?

Well, that there is Westover Bleach.

That is the best darn bleach that money can buy.

And I should know, because I sell it by the gallon.

Every door I knock on ends up closing

on a happy customer holding a bottle of that bleach.

Cuts through any stain,

makes your whites bright as the day you bought 'em.

No. Even brighter.

Cuts through anything.

You'll see, here.

Here, take a sip.

- I'm not gonna drink that. - Oh, yes, you are.

Yes, you are, cockboy.

You'll drink the whole glass.

Because if you don't, well, then Sadie dies.

I'm sorry, Johnny. It was an accident.

No! You know how I like things.

- You did that on purpose... - Johnny, please, don't.

Johnny, please, man.

No! Sit down, Jake!

There are bad people in this world.

People who would seduce a man's wife.

Someone has to do something about it.

I'm from a different morality, product of another time.

No one understands what I need to do for the greater good.

There is nothing funny here.

Well, sure there is.

All this, because I told him your dirty little secrets.

Well, I didn't even tell him about your grandmother.

She liked to wash you, didn't she?

She washed you real good.

Sadie, Sadie...

How old were you, 12

- No... You... Shh... - No, 13

They took her away because of you, Johnny!

- No. - Yes, they did!

They took her away because...

No! You shut your mouth.

- Yes, they did Johnny! - Shut your mouth, now!

Shut your filthy mouth!

Hey, sorry to bother you.

Lee's sleeping.

I know. I mean, I figured.

Bill, no. I can't.

Sure, you can.

Come on.

Take it.

It's not gonna kill you.

What the hell happened to you?

I tried to make a pie.

My sister, Clara, she used to make strawberry pie for me when I was little.

I'd eat so much, I got sick.

So, you have sister here in Texas?

No. She died.

I'm sorry.

You miss her?

Yeah.

Marina.

Well, why don't you fold it?

Who are you?

I live downstairs.

We're neighbors.

I didn't mean to bother you none.

I just, I came up here to ask if you had ice.

Our freezer's broke.

Uh-huh.

Well...

See you.

I hope I didn't wake you up. I'm... Not that...

If you were sleeping.

Have you ever read any Karl Marx?

Well, can't say that I have. No.

You read it and then we'll talk.

Is it any good?

Tells the truth.

Shit.

Jake, be very careful.

Mr. Amberson!

Mike, Bobbi Jill.

Miss Dunhill won the spring raffle!

We brought over her prize.

What're you doing here?

Uh, well, I'm just I'm...

Um...

I'm just fixing her sink.

I can help! My dad's a plumber.

No. That's okay. I got it. Um...

Uh...

She's not feeling well, so you should just get out of here

and you can leave the basket there.

Call the police. Go!

Would you, please, lock it?

If I hear sirens 'cause you just told those two kids to call the police,

I am gonna cut off her nose right in front of you.

I didn't.

Well,

that's good then, isn't it?

Can we just... Can we just... Let's just finish this up.

It's just very simple, Jake.

Either you drink that entire glass,

or Sadie gets a bullet to the head.

How do I know that you won't kill her after I drink it?

Because she's my wife.

The vow is, in sickness and in health.

For richer, for poorer.

'Til death us do part.

You drink that, and she will live.

Do it!

Save her, Jake!

And there is no cheating!

Just drink it.

I tried to do this nice, you shits.

Oh, you little shits.

I hear you.

I smell you.

Bellies on the ground like vermin.

Sadie? Sadie? Sadie? Sweetie, you okay? Sadie? Sadie?

She's lost a lot of blood.

Sadie, can you hear me? You're gonna be okay.

- Shouldn't... Shouldn't she have an IV? - Please, sir.

Nurses will do that at the hospital.

At the hospital? Why... Why don't you do it now?

- Aren't you paramedics? - Aren't we what?

Look...

- Hey, talk to me! - I'll lock it in.

- Where are you taking her? - Go to Parkland Hospital. In Dallas.

Parkland. Of course.

Jake Amberson?

Deputy Stephens. We need to talk.

Look, I can't right now. I need to get to the hospital.

There's a dead man in there.

I know, I killed him.

It was self-defense, okay?

He was gonna kill her and he was gonna kill me.

Self-defense or not, I'm gonna need to take a statement from you.

Sir, I can't right now. I need to be with her!

You need to tell me what happened in there.

Damn, Stephens! Is that you?

I swear it seems like yesterday

that you threw that Hail Mary pass against the Panthers.

Mr. Simmons, I'm in the middle of an interrogation right now.

Jake teaches at my school.

I need to ask him my questions! This is a murder scene.

Well, you go solve the goddamn murder then!

Jake and I are gonna go to the hospital.

You wanna meet us there? You can ask all the questions you want.

Don't leave the hospital.

Let me ask you something.

Did you kill that son-of-a-bitch?

Yeah.

Good.

Lee?

Lee?

- What? - Where are you going?

To the library.

You all here for Miss Sadie Dunhill?

Yes. Is... Is she okay?

I'm Doctor Jones. She's in surgery right now.

How long?

Well, it was a very deep cut and she's lost a great deal of blood.

It could be all night.

Okay. But, she's... She's gonna be okay?

It goes beyond cosmetic.

She's in critical condition.

Uh...

I can't make any promises.

Um...

But we have our best surgeons on it.

- Well, we all wanna donate blood. - Yeah.

All right, everybody who's donating blood, y'all follow me.

Right now. Let's go!

I understand Miss Dunhill ended her relationship with you?

Yeah, she did.

You two had an argument in front of your house. Couple of days ago?

I mean, did you... Did you see her face?

There's gotta be some fingerprints on the knife.

- I mean, Jesus Christ! - Look,

I just want to get the truth.

You give it to me straight.

We can sort this whole thing out.

We had an argument

and she broke up with me

because I kept things from her.

That's the truth.

She was open, and she trusted me.

And... And I couldn't do that.

And I don't deserve her.

And that crazy fucker came and cut her

and he tried to kill her and me both.

So, the truth is, yeah, it felt fucking great when I cracked his skull.

Because he deserved it.

So, you can put that in your book.

No need.

My prayers will be with Miss Dunhill.

Nine o'clock is when it goes down.

There's a church service that gets out around then.

Where you at, Lee?

Clara?

Clara!

Clara!

Clara!

Clara!

Clara!

Clara!

- You were my sister. - Excuse me?

I thought you were my sister.

I'm sorry.

The hardest part about living in the past

is that everything you tell everybody will be a lie.

It's possible to forget who you really are.

And you'll want to reach out,

make a connection.

I made that mistake.

If you get too close,

you forget what you came for.

General Walker, please slow down. Please.

If I could just get a look at your arm.

If it's a gunshot wound...

If you can slow down, so I can get you a wheelchair.

I don't need a wheelchair. It's only damn shrapnel!

- Sir. - Tell them I'll be fine.

He doesn't need it.

But you should let them check you.

Fine, just make it quick.

Hello?

Hey, I saw Walker,

he's at the hospital.

What happened?

Where were you?

Bill, what happened at Walker's house?

Was Lee there? What did you see?

I missed it.

You missed it?

I never saw Lee there at all.

I missed everything.

I saw my sister.

Nobody ever found Clara's body.

And so I hoped that she was still alive.

Even though I knew that that wasn't true.

I saw Clara.

She was there, and then she was gone.

And then I heard the gun.

I screwed up, Jake. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Mr. Amberson. Has the nurse found you?

No.

I wanted to say how sorry I am.

Sorry? What, what, why? What?

I thought we'd be able to do much more.

No, no. No! No, no. Please, no.

No one at this hospital, including myself,

has encountered a facial wound of that severity.

I don't understand.

What happened? Blood loss?

We just don't have the technology available.

Sadie died because you don't have the technology?

My good God! No, she's not dead.

- What? - No! No. It's her scar.

I'm talking about the scar on her face.

It'll be severe, there will be permanent damage.

But she's not dead!

Mister Amberson, she'll be all right.

Hey, you're alive.

You're alive.

Sorry.

I don't want to hurt you.

Sorry.

If I look as bad as I feel, I must be a sight.

You never looked better.

You saved my life.

No.

You saved mine.

I can't do this without you.

Do what?

I lied to you.

And I'll never do it again.

I have to tell you something.

I know. I think I know.

Just let me say it.

I'm from the future.

I was born in 1978.

Don't... Don't make me laugh.

You're not joking?

You're from the future?

That's not what I thought you were gonna say.

Are you really an English teacher?

Yeah.

Where are you really from?

I'm from Lisbon, Maine.

That part's true.

Where are you from?

I grew up in East Texas.

And where did you go to school?

Vanderbilt.

You?

Bates.

I love you.

You don't think it's too soon for that? I mean, we just met.

Well, it's good to meet you.

It's not too soon for me.

I love you, too.

And you always known that you wanted to be a librarian?

I just like the books.

What's your favorite?

Let me guess.

From Here to Eternity.

No, that's too savvy for me.
