Five started walking backward and forward in front of the screen as he scratched the back of his head. He was trying to find out a way to explain what him and Diego just saw. 

"Of course Dad would be involved in the assassination. I should've know" Diego said "No, you're jumping to conclusions" Five said "What else is he doing standing on the grassy knoll, holding an open black umbrella on a sunny day in Dallas the exact same moment the president get shot?" Diego shouted as he walked closer to Five while pointing at the screen "Diego calm down. Your shouting isn't getting anywhere" Five said "Then how do you explain it?" Diego asked.

"It doesn't look good, I admit" Five said "No, he's the signalman for the whole goddam thing" Diego said "Easy, Diego. Seriously" Five said "No, it makes sense. This is what Hazel was obviously trying to tell you" Diego said "Calm down Diego, you are too fast to jump to the conclusions" Five said.

"We have to stop Dad from killing the president" Diego said "Easy, Diego. Seriously" Five said as he looked at him.

"Dad was no Boy Scout, but presidential assassination. It's never been his thing" he said "How would you know? You skipped out on his golden years" Diego said "Skipped out?" Five asked while looking at him "You think I had it easy, Diego" Five took some steps closer to him "I was in the apocalypse for thirty years, I watch two people I cared about die. I was a kid when I had to take care of her" he pointed at you.

You and Five struggle in the apocalypse, but Five tried his best to make sure that neither of you died. He had went days without eating because he have giving up the last food to you.

Both you and Five had being through so much, you were just kids when you where in the apocalypse, when Five saw his family's dead bodies. You and Five were the only people alive, not a single soul in the whole world, couldn't get away. You needed to survive with very little food, almost no water, almost froze to death many times. Have had many near death experiences. It can mess with your head. You and Five might had made it through but you will have scars and Trauma that will be there for the rest of their lives, not to mention the PTSD that it had given the two of you.

You wouldn't have survived without Five, and he wouldn't have survived without you. You kept him sane, kept his light and hope up, gave him a reason to get up every day and fight. Gave him a reason to smile. You have being his light through it all. 

"You know what? We don't have the time for this right now. Dad's clearly in Dallas, right? Let's just go talk to him. Maybe he can help us fix the timeline" Five said "Dallas is a big place. We need to find him first" Diego said "Gee, if only we had some magical, old-timey way, of finding people and their addresses" Five said.

Diego and Five found a phonebook before Diego put the book on a table while Five walked over to him.

Diego opened the phonebook as him and Five leaned closer to the book while you were standing behind them.
