This is no longer a solo mission, however.
Also someone to watch him suffer PTSD, apparently.
In a sleep-walk rage, Jake tackles the sleeping Bill, screaming I killed you!

After waking up and cooling off, Jake muses, what I wouldnt give for a mini-bar right now.
Bill is as perplexed as the store owner Jake asked for Gatorade in the last episode.
Cue another short Al flashback.
But back in Dallas, Jake is having some trouble explaining the conspiracy to Bill.
If so, that would suggest a wider conspiracy.
Just then, Jake and Bill turn around and catch storefront TVs playing video of a Kennedy speech.
Lets go save JFK, partner.
Jake tries out for a teaching position at Jodie High School, a little outside Dallas.
After Jake explains his slightly fictional resume (he didnt go to school on the G.I.
Although Jake is initially unsure exactly how to respond, his love for literature shines through.
When the principal notes that J.D.
I think we can handle it.
The club owner comes over and introduces himself.
Bill drunkenly asks if he plans on voting for Kennedy.
He then gives his name: Jack Ruby.
Ruby notes that he looks like hes seen a ghost.
Bill then proceeds to nearly spill the beans on their time-travel story, forcing a retreat.
Jake went to college up North, where he lost his accent.
After their parents died, they sold the family farm and moved to Texas.
Never, ever change the story, Jake reminds his sidekick.
Ms. Mimi defuses the situation by refusing his offer.
Jake walks down the hallway to his first class…and suddenly, its two years later.
Two years in, Jake seems to have developed a natural rapport with his students.
She had a husband then, but thats over and done with now.
That commitment turns out to be bugging Lee Harvey Oswalds house.
The attendant refuses to fill up her gas.
Jake resorts to giving Ms. Mimi a ride himself.
That mission is Jakes conflicting commitment for the night of the school dance.
Despite the importance of this mission, Jake does make it to the school dance.
He and Sadie bust some students sneaking in spiked punch and retire to a classroom to inspect it.
After this pre-game, they then take a turn on the dance floor.
Citing a sudden emergency, he rushes off to help Bill bug Oswalds place.
But this was never going to be easy; the past always pushes back.
Sure enough, Oswald and his Russian wife, Marina, suddenly arrive at the apartment.
Jake and Bill are stuck hiding in a closet while the happy couple commence some lovemaking.
Luckily, Jake finds a hidden ladder into the apartments air vents.
You wanna mess with me?
The possible assassin screams.
Jake is able to kick out a panel and the two escape to their next-door hideout.
The next day, both Ms. Mimi and Sadie are disappointed by Jakes flaking.
Back at the apartment, Bill and Jake start pouring over hours and hours of Oswald tape.
Bill becomes like a soap opera watcher, observing that he feels for Marina.
Then, just when it seems like it couldnt get any more boring, George de Mohrenschildt shows up.
Back in the first episode, Jake had confirmed Als suspicions that de Mohrenschildt was associated with the CIA.
Now that hes talking to Oswald, Jake realizes, This might be the start of the whole thing.
Unfortunately, Oswald and de Mohrenschildt are mostly speaking Russian.
Jake curses himself if hed known this, he couldve spent the last two years learning Russian.
But there should be an English-Russian dictionary in the school library, so Jake runs off to retrieve it.
He returns to find a bloody, unconscious Bill and the recording equipment stolen.
Jake beats on Raphael a bit before Bill points out the little girl cowering under a table.
Cursing, Jake and Bill take back their ruined equipment.
I like dancing with you, she says.
Sadie asks him to take her out to dinner the next weekend, and he agrees.
But she warns him, Dont ever do anything like that to me again.
In the meantime, Jake and Bill follow Oswald to a General Walker rally.
He repeatedly calls Walker a fascist and gets into fights with his guards as de Mohrenschildt looks on.
The encounter reaches an eerie climax as Oswald screams, wake up, you fascist!
Wake up or Ill kill you!
