At the end of Act Two comes the second plot point. Now the character has been moving towards their goal for the last 60 minutes and it's usually by now that the the solution is in sight. It may not be easy to achieve, but they know what they have to do. Usually its just before plot point 2 that all the really bad things happen. One minute you think, 'wahey! he can make it' but suddenly he is imprisoned, or his partner gets shot or something. Now the lead character's efforts have to be redoubled. The last mile is the hardest mile.
