The Man in the High Castle (2015–…): Season 1, Episode 10 - A Way Out - full transcript

As revelations abound, Juliana is forced to make the hardest decision of her life. Wegener returns to Germany to carry out his mission. Smith risks becoming the prey as he goes hunting with...

What was that?

A nightmare.

With me in it. How is that possible?

I don't know.

Frank.

There was another man kneeling near you

in the film. Did you recognize him?

What? No. Why?

He looked familiar to me.

Bad news. I didn't find a way out.

What is it? Something happen?



Everything's fine.

Okay, so give me the film.

No.

No.

Stop it. Stop.

You Nazi fuck!

Tell me it isn't true.

Tell me it isn't true.

Please tell me it isn't true.

John?

I couldn't sleep.

If he simply wanted me dead, Helen,

he wouldn't need to invite me hunting.

Heydrich scares me, John.



H-He says it's for the
glory of the Reich,

but he enjoys the things that he does.

Listen to me, Helen.

I need you to promise me something.

Mm-hmm.

If for whatever reason
I don't make it back...

don't let that man near our children.

Enter.

This is our world now, Sergeant.

Part of the Empire.

And it is our duty

to sacrifice whatever is necessary

to protect it.

Yes, sir.

You don't ever watch the films.

- No exceptions.
- It doesn't matter to us what you saw.

I just saw myself being
executed by Joe Blake.

And the whole city
destroyed by an A bomb.

We just paid the Yakuza
10,000 yen for you,

and now you're asking
us to get you out?

Look, Frank's wanted by the Kempeitai.

And neither of you
thought to mention that?

Will you help us or not?

Major Karl Müller of the Reich?

Kempeitai Chief Inspector Kido.

Please come in.

Chief Inspector.

This belongs to you?

Yes, Inspector.

And I'm prepared to
make a full confession.

Okay. We can get you out.

But it's going to cost you.

We don't have anything left.

What do you want?

Your help

getting that film back from Joe Blake

and killing him.

Help us do that, and I'm cleared
to put you on a boat to Mexico.

Killing him? A few hours ago,

I gave everything I had to
save the son of a bitch.

Wait. Because of what's on the film?

Because he's a goddamn Nazi.

You said he didn't deny it.

He makes it back to New York,

that film and all of our names

go to Nazi High Command.

Fuck.

Juliana.

You're the only one who stands a chance

of getting close enough to him

to do it and grab the film.

You're the only one he trusts.

You want to kill him?

You go right ahead, but
leave her out of it.

Well, you did it before.

The Nazi agent back in Canon City.

That was self-defense.

You're asking me to kill
a man in cold blood,

to assassinate him.

Ah...

No.

I can't do that.

I won't do that.

I know.

Uh...

I'll do it.

Fish to the lure.

You get him someplace

where I can get a nice
clean decent shot.

I'll do the rest.

Oh, my God.

Go through his desk.

Anything official must be destroyed.

I do not understand, sir.

I think you do, Sergeant.

What is this man's crime?

The shooting of the Crown Prince.

Hai.

But we've been pursuing Frank Frink.

The witness said Frank never
discharged his weapon.

Then why not arrest and
interrogate this man?

Because that is exactly what
the Nazis would want us to do.

There'd be war.

A war that currently
our Empire cannot win.

Nobody must ever know
about this, Sergeant.

But if Frink is gone

and we cannot report the capture

of the real assassin,

how can Tokyo be satisfied?

Whatever sacrifice is necessary.

That is my burden alone,

and I shall carry it.

Yours is to remain silent

and to act as my Kaishakunin.

Now do you understand, Yoshida-san?

Hai.

The desk.

Oberstgruppenführer.

Sieg heil.

Good morning, John.

This is Junge, my aid.

I brought rifles for both of us, John.

Oh, thank you. I prefer to use my own.

I need you to listen
to me carefully, Juliana.

He's a Nazi, so the Embassy is
the only place he can go now.

Once you're inside, ask
for the visa office.

It's on the eighth floor.

They'll send you to the back stairs,

and that gives you
access to all levels.

Somebody will tell me

if you managed to contact
Obergruppenführer Smith.

Yes, Mr. Blake.

He'll probably be in one
of the ad men offices...

levels 4 to 6.

We can get you in, but
you have to get him out.

You'll need a story.
He'll be suspicious.

I'll come up with something.

I felt we should
clear the air, you and I,

rid ourselves of the suspicion

that seems to have
developed between us.

We can speak candidly here.

Nobody can hear us or reach us.

I assumed that was the point.

You are a
formidable man, John.

You believe Captain Connolly had a hand

in the ambush on your car?

As Captain Connolly
killed himself yesterday,

sadly we can only speculate.

You must at least suspect
I gave the order.

It's understandable.

There is, after all, strong precedent

for senior figures removing comrades

in pursuit of the greater good.

but sometimes such figures
underestimate their comrades.

I would hate to make that mistake.

The world will change forever today.

It's too late for us to
do anything about that.

Now it's simply a question

of whether you are part of
the future or the past.

Mr. Blake.

Ambassador Hugo Reiss.

This is Oberführer Diels.

- Heil Hitler.
- Heil Hitler.

My staff booked you

on the first rocket back to New York.

You leave in a few hours.

Make yourself comfortable
in here until then.

- I have further meetings.
- Okay. Thank you, sir.

You report to Obergruppenführer Smith,

do you not, Mr. Blake?

Yeah, that's correct.

Have you spoken to him?

We're still trying to reach him.

So your mission here was a success?

I can't really talk about that.

Of course.

Chief Inspector Kido, Trade Minister.

Juliana Crain.

Miss Crain is not in the office today.

I am aware of that.

Nor will she be ever again.

She is the girlfriend of Frank Frink,

the man wanted in connection

with the shooting of the Crown Prince.

I'm sure there must be some mistake.

There have undoubtedly been several,

along with warnings unheeded.

I am sorry, Trade Minister.

I can do nothing about the loss of face

you will suffer in connection with this

as and when Mr. Frink is
inevitably apprehended.

But this time there
can be no mitigation.

This time?

Did you really think I did not know

who helped the Nazi Wegener to leave?

However, I also knew why you did so.

Please, do not imagine
I remained silent

for any other reason than your own:

the security of the Empire.

Why are you telling me now?

Because there comes a time

when all men must bear the weight

of their responsibility,
Trade Minister.

And our day has come.

Goodbye.

Chief Inspector Kido.

Arigato.

Papa.

Klaudia. Mm.

Otto.

Good luck.

It's going to be okay.

In a few hours we'll
be free of all this.

Running away isn't the
same as being free.

Look, I want you to promise me.

If anything happens,
you get on that boat.

Hey, don't even think that.

Think about what's on the other side.

That film shows Joe as a Nazi,

and he is.

I got on that bus with Trudy's film

because I thought it meant
hope for the future.

But this new one means
that everything I've done

and everything I've caused
has been for nothing.

There is no hope.

There's no future.

But we have to go on.

What else is there?

Okay.

Let's go.

Ed.

What are you doing in here?

Uh...

I, uh, I messed up on
the detailing, sir.

I thought I'd melt it

before production
tallies were recorded.

You're too much of a
damn perfectionist.

This barrel's been bored out.

- Sir...
- Tell me this is not

what the Kempeitai are looking for.

Trade Minister.

Your meeting, Trade Minister.

The only way...

to view the truth of life, Kotomichi...

is to stand apart from it,

to see...

the consequence of every thought,

every action.

But still...

we are bound by time and space,

unable to steer our destiny.

That is why you consult the I ching...

to glimpse what lies ahead.

I'm nothing but a misguided
fool, Kotomichi.

No.

You are a good man.

Perhaps too good for this world.

You must not lose
faith, Trade Minister.

You must not give up on meditation

and not on searching.

You must not...

Kotomichi, what's the matter?

The mine owners and General Hata

are waiting for you in Bara.

Cancel it.

I'll be leaving for the day.

Sir.

Ambassador Reiss.

No. He's not here at the moment.

Mr. Blake, This is Major Klemm.

Where the hell have you been?

Here. I've been here like I was told.

They didn't call you?

No. I called the ambassador

to find out if he'd heard from you.

Listen to me very carefully, Mr. Blake.

Obergruppenführer Smith has left word.

Diels reports directly to Heydrich.

You are to stay away
from Diels at all costs.

Oberführer Diels.

Please come with me.

I need a team to the
Embassy immediately.

Yes, sir.

The car to take you to the airport

is waiting, Mr. Blake.

Have you heard from
Obergruppenführer Smith?

Oh, yes. He's expecting you.

Please come with me.

What news on Joe Blake's
mission in the Pacific States?

I take it you sent him to retrieve

one of the films the Führer
finds so interesting.

I'm sorry. I can't discuss that.

Time to talk plainly, John.

Good luck.

Basement level, Mr. Blake.

I can't leave by the front entrance?

Your safety is of
paramount concern to us.

Please.

Of course.

I'm just here for a visa application.

Visa application.

Ja.

You can pass.

Danke schoen.

All the way to the basement, Mr. Blake.

Joe.

What the hell are you doing here?

How did you get in here?

You're not the only one who can lie.

Wait. Not that way.

What the hell were you doing there?

You lying son of a bitch!

I had to know if it was true.

Bullshit. You came for the film.

- That's all you care about.
- That is not true.

- Then why?
- The Resistance sent me

to lure you out so they can kill you.

And you'd do that?

I've seen who you really are.

What are you talking about?

We watched the film, Joe. You're in it.

You're wearing a Nazi uniform,

and you're executing people.

I don't know what you've seen,

but whatever it is, it wasn't me.

That's not who I am.

You want to know how I know?

Guess what I saw on the
film I took to Canon City.

You said you never watched the film.

I didn't tell you because
you were so full of hope.

You saw the Allies winning, right?

Well, mine wasn't newsreel.

It was Soviet propaganda for
Josef Stalin from 1954.

Stalin was executed...

In '49, exactly.

So whatever you saw is no more real

than Stalin coming back from the dead.

You know what is real?

If I don't get this
film back to New York,

I'm a dead man.

And the man I report
to won't just kill me.

He'll kill you, Frank, and
people you're close to.

Help me, and I'll keep all
those names he doesn't know

out of it.

I swear to you.

Does this belong to you, Mr. McCarthy?

Yes, sir.

You converted it?

That's right.

And you tried to destroy it

because...

Possession of a firearm is
a very serious offense.

But not as serious as attempting

to assassinate the
Crown Prince of Japan.

This distinctive weapon was described

by several witnesses.

We know at least two bullets
were fired from this gun.

We are continuing to pursue Mr.
Frank Frink

for this crime,

but if you say this gun belongs to you,

that changes everything.

Do you know where Frank is?

That is not relevant to the truth.

The only relevant question is

did you use this gun to
shoot the Crown Prince?

What is the power of the films?

Do you know why the Führer
prizes them so highly?

You'd have to address

any questions on that subject

to the Führer himself.

The Führer is a spent force, John.

We both know that.

I don't believe for a second

that sharing the land of
your birth with the Japanese

sits well with you.

I'm sure the Führer has his reasons.

Loyalty is an overrated virtue, John,

championed by the bovine,

dignified by the weak to
justify their weakness.

It's certainly not worthy of you.

Neither is betrayal.

Ultimately, John,

we owe our hearts and our minds

not to any one man but to an idea,

and that idea is under threat.

It is up to the best of
us to step forward now

as both the Führer and nature demands.

The strong must overcome the weak.

_

Very shortly now, John,

the telephone is going to ring.

Who will be calling?

I suspect you already worked
that out on our walk.

Nein!

The American Reich is
vital to our interests.

I'd like you with me,

and I would be willing to hear

what you would want for yourself.

However,

I need to be sure I can call on
the same level of commitment

as the Führer.

I have to hear your decision
before I receive the call.

Okay.

Yeah. I understand.

Was that Lem?

No. We got to go.

At least there should be
fewer Kempeitai around.

Why?

They caught the guy who
shot the Crown Prince.

- Who?
- I don't know.

Some guy who works in a gun factory.

Come on, Frank. We got to move.

I got to make a call.

No. We don't have time for that.

Mr. McCarthy,

it's Frank. Is Ed there?

You selfish piece of shit.

They'll kill him. You know that.

And all because of you.

- Go without me.
- What happened?

Get Juliana away.

Sieg heil!

_

_

_

_

_

_

_

_

Well, John?

Rudolph will never get a weapon

close enough to Führer to kill him.

Our leader's paranoia at
least has one advantage.

He hides weapons everywhere.

I need to know one thing, Reinhard.

I need to know you're
not alone in this.

_

_

_

_

_

_

_

_

_

_

_

_

_

_

_

_

_

_

_

No, John. I am not alone in this.

Now,

are you with me?

Reinhard.

Mein Führer.

_

_

_

There it is.

I really appreciate you doing this.

What, sending you to Mexico?

No, believing in me.

Not many people have ever done that.

Come on.

She did it.

Do you hear me? She fucking did it.

Atta girl.

They're on their way to you.

She should take him through
that door any moment.

Copy that.

I guess it's too late to
ask you to go with me.

I'm sorry, Joe.

Wow.

You're good.

Sniper?

No.

Yeah, you know, I'm sorry, too.

For everything.

You said once to me that I
might be a different man

if I'd met you sooner.

Please.

Well, I am.

You changed me.

That's why I'm not the
guy in this film.

I'm still glad I met you.

Oh, God.

I don't believe the film.

I don't believe it.

I believe you.

Hey.

No. No!

No! Ed!

Ed, no! No!

I'm here!

I'm here!

Where the fuck are they?

They should be with you.

Shit.

Get out there!

Ah, damn it.

What have you done?

Hai, sensei!

And it's 1-nothing.

Hot dogs! Fresh buttered popcorn!

Get your hot dogs right here.
We got candied apples

and caramel apples.

San Francisco is...

One, please.

All right, son, here you go.

And there goes the runner.

- _ -

That's a good fast ball.

And there goes the runner!

A bouncing ball. Second
base is going to field it.
