After his arrest, Oswald — unemployed and relying on benefits from the government he claims to detest — goes on a radio show to brag about himself, but is instead confronted with his past. Meanwhile, he remains desperate to go to Cuba, which — after a disappointing two-and-a-half years in the Soviet Union — he thinks of as a better form of communism. But what to do about Marina, who is pregnant with their second child? Oswald comes up with a bizarre plan to hijack a place to Havana, but when that nutty idea collapses, he realizes that the best way to get to Havana is by getting a visa in Mexico City.
