Breaking it all down!

Spoilers, obviously, for the ending of"Once Upon a Time in Hollywood." Even if you think you can't spoil history, make sure you see the movie before reading on.

Around the 2-hour mark, give or take, the story jumps forward in time -- to August 8, 1969 -- and adopts a new structure, with voice over and a timestamp accompanying Dalton, Booth and Tate's activities that day. Those with a knowledge of Tate's murder will recognize the date, as shortly after midnight, she was murdered by the Manson Family.

In the film, Dalton had been steadily growing incensed with the hippie influx in Hollywood, so when a bunch of cult followers noisily arrive in his cul-de-sac, he drunkenly gives them a piece of his mind and forces them to turn their car around. While they regroup in the car, Sadie pitches the idea of breaking into Dalton's house and killing him first. Thus, reality begins to bend.

Undeterred, Tex, Sadie and Katie continue on to Dalton's house. When Tex breaks in and Pitt's Booth asks who he is, he delivers the same line the real Tex did:"I'm the devil, and I'm here to do the devil's business." Thenflips the script on the three Manson members, as Booth fights back and stabs, maims and bludgeons the interlopers, before Dalton roasts one with his flamethrower.
