The Plot Against America

is to preserve American democracy,

by preventing America from taking part

in another World War.

Did you read the Roper Poll?

Thirty-nine percent say Jews are like other people.

Fifty-three percent say we're different

and should be, quote, "restricted."

- Wrong turn. - Herman, please drive.

You tell your thief cousin, I'll have the police on him.

I'm a lot of things, kiddo, but a thief I'm not.

He wanted it to go on like that.

I'd be the mistress, never the wife.

You're beautiful.

You're bright. You'll meet someone.

We have room for one flag, the American flag.

Evelyn. A beautiful name for a beautiful lady.

Call me Lionel.

They think Lindbergh can win.

He can.

Your choice is simple. It is between Lindbergh...

and war.

Win or lose, there's a lot of hate out there.

And he knows how to tap into it.

Sandy?

Move. Attack! Watch out, Yankees.

Hey! You stepped on General Lee! Sandy!

- Where's he going? - I don't know.

- Buddy, come on! - Excuse me.

Sorry, kid. This is as near as you're gonna get.

You can't get any closer.

Lindbergh! Lindbergh!

Lindbergh! Lindbergh! Lindbergh! Lindbergh!

Lindbergh! Lindbergh!

Thank you.

I'm happy to be back in New Jersey with you.

Lindbergh! Lindbergh! Lindbergh! Lindbergh!

My intention in running for the presidency

is to preserve American democracy

by preventing America

from taking part in another world war.

Your choice is simple.

It is not between Charles A. Lindbergh

and Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

It is between Lindbergh...

- and war. - Yeah, yeah!

Lindbergh! Lindbergh! Lindbergh!

Lindbergh! Lindbergh! Lindbergh! Lindbergh!

The excitement continues here

at Newark's municipal airfield as Cha-

- That wasn't so bad. - He says the same thing

wherever he lands the plane,

from California to Florida to Maine,

but they keep putting it on the radio

no matter how many times he says it.

"Lindbergh or war." It's a terrible thing to say.

Well, war is no good.

Lindbergh is worse.

Evelyn doesn't think so.

She... She what?

She says everyone doesn't understand

that Lindbergh is not against the Jews.

He just wants peace.

- Ma... - Uh, that's what she said.

- Talk to her. - I would, but she's late.

How long is her union meeting supposed to last?

I need to get to the shopping already.

There isn't a union meeting today.

There isn't?

Evelyn went to the airport to see Charles Lindbergh.

The pilot.

He's coming to Newark, you know.

You're wetting the whole mount

and not letting it dry. See right here?

That's water damage on the edge of your Horace Mann.

I thought I patted it dry.

Let me show you the way it's done.

See, I only wet the top portion of the mount.

See?

I didn't know you should use tongs.

You don't have to,

but it helps to protect the stamp.

You have any?

You can have these.

Gee, thanks!

Let's do something different.

Like what?

Follow people.

- Why? - To see where they live.

- That's it? - That's a lot.

I go all over, even leave Newark.

Go anyplace I want. People live everywhere.

How do you get home before your mom?

The trick is to go as far as I can

and get back before she does.

Come on.

Why do you hide your money?

I took it from my mom and dad.

When they're not around, I go through my mom's purse

or my dad's jacket and pants.

It's easy 'cause nobody counts the coins.

But don't take all of it. That might tip them off.

Wasn't able to knock Godoy out...

Tabatchnick's.

Yes, sir.

There's the end of round two, where Louis rocks Godoy

with jolting lefts and rights to the head.

What's the paper say?

The Germans are gonna invade England.

They're bombing London every night now.

Idiots. Another idiot war. What's the news in Jersey?

I only looked at the local pages for a minute or two,

but it's mostly about Lindbergh

flying here today for a campaign stop.

Another fucking idiot.

Yes, sir, he is.

Roosevelt, too. All fucking idiots.

Use the siren, I'm hungry.

The siren's for state business, Mr. Steinheim.

Are we going to Tabatchnick's as the racing commissioner?

He looks interesting.

Dresses sharp, and he's going on the 24 West Orange.

A lot of nice houses out there. You ready?

Not yet. Let him get on first.

Okay, now.

- We could get lost. - You can't get lost.

You tell the directions by the house numbers.

Even numbers are south and east, and odd is north and west.

The bigger the number,

the farther you are from Broad and Market streets.

It's simple.

C'mon, move!

Don't get right behind him.

Nice neighborhood, huh? Told you.

Where are all the kids?

Rich kids don't play in the street.

They have backyards. Wanna see one?

No, thanks.

Darn it. That didn't last long.

What are you doing?

I gotta get the house number. Keep track of where I go.

Then I put pins in a map. You should do it, too.

Then you can see all the places you've been.

Got it, let's go.

Abe is here! How 'bout some service?

Good morning, Mr. Steinheim.

- What can I get for... - Four pounds of sturgeon,

three of the smoked whitefish, three of the belly lox,

two of the sable, two dozen herring fillets,

three dozen bagels, four bags of pickles.

And hurry it up, I don't got all day.

All right, let's move it, fellas. Let's go, let's go.

Hey, kid. Keep a sharp eye he don't try to thumb the scale.

He's only joking, folks. All right, come on.

- Let's move, guys. - There's always Horowitz's.

All right, that'll be... 37.63, Mr. Steinheim.

Thank you, let me get your change.

- Please do. - Get him his bags.

Look at this. Indian head nickel, huh?

- Next. - I'm watching you.

So, Saturday night, you coming over?

- I hope. - Okay, take me home.

What do you mean "hope"?

I had to park it a couple of blocks down.

- Down on third? - Yeah.

- Evening, James. - Mr. Levin.

Got here just before they closed, I think.

- Thank you, miss. - You're welcome.

You worked the weekend again?

End of the month is coming up. I'm still short on my quota.

- Is that Black Forest? - It is.

All right. I'll take that and, uh...

half dozen of your jelly-filled.

I saved those for you. Patty? The jellies from the back.

You listen to, uh, Lindbergh at the airport?

You missed nothing.

Who was there to greet him?

The Republican congressman. Vreeland and the other guy.

A few state assemblymen. Some ministers and whatnot.

Oh, the rabbi from B'nai Moshe, what's his name, Bergensdorf...

- Bengelsdorf. - Yeah.

Pompous son of a bitch.

But no one from Bergen or Hudson or Essex counties.

Frank Hague told every Democrat on any ticket north of Brunswick

that if they even drive by that airport,

they're gonna be looking for work tomorrow.

Well, Frank Hague can do that,

and he's always been rock solid for Roosevelt.
