A concrete barrier on Main Street forced a turn. That turn slowed the presidential limousine. That slowdown put it directly in front of the Texas School Book Depository's sixth-floor southeast window. The geography of Dealey Plaza wasn't designed to be a killing ground — but it became one in six seconds on November 22, 1963.

This episode focuses on the physical space at the heart of the Kennedy assassination: the motorcade route, the dimensions of the plaza, the sight lines from the sniper's nest, and the acoustic properties of an urban corridor that made witnesses point in conflicting directions. Understanding the geometry is essential to evaluating everything that followed — the Warren Commission's conclusions, the single-bullet theory, the House Select Committee's 1979 finding of probable conspiracy, and the enduring argument over the grassy knoll.

We examine how the route was selected by the Secret Service and published in Dallas newspapers three days before the visit. We look at how Lee Harvey Oswald came to be working in that building — a chain of events involving a neighbor's chance remark and a job application submitted weeks before the route was finalised. And we trace the physical evidence connecting Oswald's Mannlicher-Carcano rifle to the sixth-floor window: the paper bag, the spent cartridge cases, the fingerprints, the photographs.

Dealey Plaza is smaller than you picture it. The sight lines are cleaner. And the sound — in a hard-surfaced urban canyon — is more complicated than anyone expected. That complexity is still unresolved. This episode explains why.
