11.22.63

Previously on "11.22.63"...

Al, why did you show this to me?

I need you to prevent the assassination

of John F. Kennedy.

I wanna save him too. I wanna help.

We need to find out when Oswald starts talking

about General Walker

and who he starts talking about him to.

Lee is back.

That's George de Mohrenschildt. He's CIA.

This might be the start of the whole thing.

General Walker.

I have something to say!

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.

Call me Deke. All my faculty does.

Mr. Amberson, this is Miss Dunhill.

Yeah, we've... we met before.

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

To starting over.

Shit.

Come on, come on, come on.

Whoo! All right, let's show 'em.

You are in the Marines now, son.

Let's see it.

Sharp shooter!

Again.

Marina?

Marina!

Oh-ho, Juney, it's...

Oh, baby, it's okay.

I'm... Daddy's coming, I'm...

It's okay.

Hmm.

Mm. English. You are American now.

Marina.

Stand here.

Okay.

Why the papers?

'Cause people will want to know.

That I stand for something.

You look ridiculous.

Lee, what's a man like you

going to do with a rifle like that?

I am going to hunt fascists.

Ready?

Now.

Hey, Bill. I want you to watch them closely today.

I wanna know everything that goes on

between George and Lee, okay?

Yeah. Yeah, no problem.

I like being in this new apartment,

right underneath them. Makes things a lot easier.

Hey. They still have no idea who we are.

Let's keep it that way.

All right.

- Get me? - Yeah.

- See you later. - See you later.

Howdy, stranger.

You know, they say, "Smart is the new sexy."

I don't know anyone who says that.

Oh. Well... I say it.

Don't worry. Everyone's gone.

Do you know anything... more uplifting?

Not really, I'm just learning.

Oh. How about this?

How could I dance with another...

Ooh

When I saw you standing there?

That's catchy.

- Yeah. - You make that up?

Oh, yeah. Just me and my mates,

John, Paul, George, and Ringo.

Your mates?

Umm, yeah, my imaginary friends.

You're so odd.

Just crazy...

about you.

Mr. Amberson.

Yeah.

You have a moment?

When you take on a responsibility to teach,

you also take on a responsibility

to set an example.

An example?

Hell, it's harder for girls.

Different rules, you know?

I mean, just take a look around here.

Every pair of eyes you see, there's two pairs you can't see.

And they're all watching you,

judging you, deciding if you're good or bad.

Girls here, they all wanna grow up to be just like Miss Dunhill,

and that's a good thing,

'cause she's important.

She's a new kind of woman.

You care about her?

Yeah.

Then put her first.

Protect what's important in this life.

Discretion is the better part of valor, young man.

Right.

Jimla-doo.

I need to talk to you about your defense this year, son.

I'm gonna do something, I swear.

Someone has to.

Make...

Jake, drop that. Listen.

You gotta listen to this.

Here. Listen.

The... the fabric of society is being torn apart

by people like General Walker.

We have seen before, haven't we?

Men of power, grabbing whatever they want.

Thank God they're speaking English.

I'm gonna do something, I swear.

Someone has to.

Make... make a-a statement.

You got a new rifle.

Send a message.

An action that cannot be ignored.

I'm gonna. I tell ya, I've got it in me.

You have courage.

And I have some friends.

Powerful friends who can...

help you be the great man you... you want to be.

I'm happy to introduce you.

Marina, don't slam...

This... this changes everything.

What do you mean?

George just told Lee to assassinate General Walker.

And he said he'd introduce him to his friends...

at the CIA.

George is a handler for Lee.

George is the gun. Lee's the bullet.

CIA's pulling the trigger.

And Walker is a test run for Kennedy.

But you said he misses Walker.

Then why would the CIA stick with the shooter

that misses the target?

I don't know, I don't know.

Maybe Lee's part of the conspiracy right now,

and he messes up, they cut him loose,

but he goes rogue on Kennedy. I don't know.

So... What do we do now?

We got to follow them both, okay?

You take Lee. I'll cover George.

- No, you take Lee. - No, no, no.

- I'll take George. - No, you take Lee.

I don't want Lee. All he ever does is read books.

Then he'll be easy.

Close it up, close it up, close it up.

All right, all right, all right.

Close it up! Come on!

Oh, Miss Mimi.

How long did you think you'd get away with it, Mr. Amberson?

Or should I call you Mr. Epping?

Thank you.

Oh.

Bill, I respect your interest in my visit,

but I think this matter is best handled privately

between myself and your brother.

So, um, how did you find me in Dallas?

You're not hard to follow.

We never received your immunization records.

State school board requires those for employment.

Yours don't exist.

I investigated your degree and found out it was issued by

what generously might be referred to as a "mill,"

and a call to your last known address in Kentucky

revealed that you use the name Epping when it suits you.

Okay, all right, I got it.

I haven't taken this to Mr. Simmons.

I came to you because I believe in trust.

You wouldn't break our trust, would you?

No.

I wouldn't.

You're right, I haven't been telling the truth.

Well, not all of it.

My real name is Jake Epping.

I was given the name Amberson

by the FBI

when I went into witness protection.

Witness protection?

Yes, in 1959, I turned over state's evidence

for a case against the Mafia.

What is the Mafia?

The Mafia.

Italian-American organized crime syndicate.

What did you witness?

Well...

I had this friend, Fredo,

and his brother Michael

had him killed on a fishing trip

in Lake Tahoe.

In return for my testimony,

the FBI gave me a new identity.

They set me up in Jodie,

a place nobody would ever look for me.

And Bill and I just keep this place as a backup.
