Jakes mind is swimming in the kind of alternate histories hes trying to create.
It turns out Bill was transferred here after the doctor at the hospital didnt hear anything from Jake.
Jake and Sadie go to sign the release papers, but the mental stress is too much for Bill.
While their backs are turned, he jumps out the window,Mrs Dalloway-style.
Its now Nov. 15, a week out from the assassination.
Theyre running out of time, but Jake keeps popping pain pills, which make him groggy.
On Nov. 17, Jake is still couch-bound.
The past really did a number on him.
Sadie tries to talk him through it were the Russians involved?
The ones she heard talking on the recording equipment in his basement that time?
Meanwhile, Lees mom is berating him for bothering the FBI.
Mrs. Oswald wonders where that little boy went; Lee replies that hes still here.
He throws the paper in the trash and walks away, looking determined.
The next day, Nov. 20, Jake and Sadie decide to visit Madison Street.
Unfortunately no one on Madison will talk to them; thats a non-starter.
Luckily, they try going upstairs, where Lee recognizes Jake from his birthday party.
He and Sadie head home.
Jake doesnt tell Sadie about his Lee revelation.
He plans to sneak out alone and take care of it himself, but Sadie catches him.
Sadie says shes involved now, whether Jake likes it or not.
After all, he never would have remembered Lee without her help.
Little do they know that Lees there, visiting Marina.
Lee and Marina have another argument, which causes the babies to wake up.
Lee says he knows what to do.
No, you think you do, but youre always wrong, Marina replies.
At this point Jake and Sadie arrive at the front door.
Jake says hes a friend of Lees from work, but Ruth isnt buying it.
Unfortunately, the rifles not there, so they head out.
All of Jakes best-laid plans have failed.
Now, hes going to have to stop Lee on the day of the shooting.
The Yellow Card Man is apparently a failed time traveler himself.
But no matter what he tried, he always failed.
His daughter is always drowning, and he always has to watch it, having failed to save her.
Then the dream sequence ends and he disappears.
This conversation appears to have affected Jake.
But Sadie reminds him that he came here for a reason.
Now its her reason, too.
They wake up at 8:30 a.m. on the big day.
The cars dead, of course, because the past doesnt make anything easy.
They grab a pistol and run.
Meanwhile, Lee appears to have spent the night with Marina.
But Lee says he has a job to do, and leaves with his rifle.
Its now 9 a.m., and Lee has arrived at the book depository with a friend.
Whistling, he gets up to the abandoned upper floor and sets up his position.
He loads his rifle, props it against some boxes…and waits.
