The Man in the High Castle (2015–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - Three Monkeys - full transcript

* Edelweiss, edelweiss *

*Small and white *

* Clean and bright *

* Blossom of snow,
may you bloom and grow *

*Bloom and grow forever *

* Edelweiss, edelweiss *

*Bless my homeland forever *

**

* Oh, the shark has *

- Joe.
- * Pretty teeth, dear *

Sieg heil.



Sieg heil.
Glad you could make it.

Saw you in the parade on TV.

- It was really something.
- Oh, yes, it was.

Hey, Harry.

- Sieg heil.
- Sieg heil.

* And he keeps it well *

Honey, Joe's here.

Hi, Joe.

My wife Helen.

I'm so glad you could join us.

Thank you for
inviting me, ma'am.

I'm not your mother.
You can call me Helen.

Kids?

Yes, Mother.



Oh, these are for you.

Oh, they're beautiful.
Thank you.

Oh.

Joe, this is Thomas
and Amy and Jennifer.

Hi, guys. Sieg heil.

- Sieg heil.
- Hi.

You forgot our fourth again.

This is Max.

Hey, buddy.
I always wanted a dog.

Max is very much
part of the family.

It's what VA Day's all about.

You make yourself at home, Joe.

Come on, Joe. I'll
show you around.

Hey.

Hey.

I was trying not to wake you.

I didn't know
if you got much sleep.

No, I was, uh, I was looking
at drawings, you know.

How was the memorial?

It was fake.

You look nice.

Thanks.

We should spend
some time together.

I don't want to make you
late for the dojo.

How about dinner?

Yeah.

Was that the phone before?

Yeah. It was the wrong number.

I'll see you later.

Embarrassing, right?

Hey, don't knock it.

So your dad doesn't mind
you being in here?

He trusts us to be responsible.

Hey, Joe.

Dad collects them.

He likes to hunt.

I guess that's security cover.

Come on.
I'll show you outside.

- Want to play catch?
- Sure.

So how'd you get to be
working with my dad?

He decided to give me a shot.

Just lucky, I guess.

Where'd you go to college?

Uh, I went straight to work.

In the SS?

In a factory.

But you were
in the Hitler Youth.

Sure.

Right up until
they kicked me out.

You want to join the SS?

There are so many things
I'd like to do,

places I'd like to go.

But sure.

I want to make my country proud.

And your dad, right?

What's this?

You've been keeping
the secrets from me, Joe.

You never told me your
middle name was di Maggio.

Didn't know you were
a baseball fan, sir.

Well, once.

It's a lazy sport

compared to track or soccer.

I got to pick up Helen's
mother from the airport.

Okay.

Actually, this is
where you offer

to ride along with me,

help draw some of her fire.

Right. Sorry.

Hey, Dad, come on.
Throw it here.

No such thing
as a free lunch, Joe.

Konnichiwa.

I'm Juliana Crain.

Kotomichi.

Only speak to the Trade
Minister when he speaks to you.

Hello again, Miss Crain.

I am Trade Minister Tagomi.

The Trade Department has
many Aryan visitors.

Often they feel more comfortable

if they are greeted by
an agreeable white face.

The more comfortable they feel,

the easier it is to do business.

Your job will be to serve tea,

fill water glasses, and smile
politely at all times.

You're giving me a job?

That is why you were
here yesterday,

isn't it?

Yes.

I got the details
from Mr. Eto.

There is an opening here

if you so wish, Miss Crain.

Hai.

Arigato.

Mr. Tagomi expects

complete loyalty and discretion.

You will not speak
of anything you hear or see,

and you will not
leave this level

without my express permission.

This is a government
building, Miss Crain,

patrolled by armed soldiers.

Do not go anywhere
without prior authorization.

You contacted the Trade
Minister's office?

Yes, sir.
They're expecting you.

You have read the preliminary
ballistics report, Inspector?

Inconclusive.

The man and boy who described

the bespectacled
gunman in the crowd

believe this resembles
the weapon they saw.

Compile a list
of antique dealers

with a permit to sell firearms.

Frank, I'm glad I caught you.

I'm kind of late for work.

Oh, yeah. I just finished.
Night shift.

Oh, yeah?

I just thought I'd stop in

on the way home.

So, uh, Juliana,

she came by yesterday.

Frank, I never did say
I'm sorry for...

what happened.

That's uh, that's kind
of you, Arnold.

Anne already passed on
your regards.

So what is it really?
Juliana?

She wasn't herself, Frank.

You know, she only stayed
for five minutes.

Her mind was clearly
somewhere else.

Now, if her sister was around,

I wouldn't worry, but I...

Well maybe Juliana
doesn't need us

to worry about her as much
as we think she does.

But, Frank, we're...

We're the type of guys
who worry,

whether people
need us to or not.

We stand quietly in the back,

and we make the hard
decisions if we have to.

You're a good guy.

I'm glad Jules can count on you.

I'm glad that you can count
on each other, you know?

Okay. I'm going to go.

I'll see you later.

**

There she is!

**

- Bad news, sir?
- For Helen.

They canceled
her mother's flight.

I think the rest of us will
get over it pretty quickly.

Rudolph?

Rudolph Wegener.

Hello, John. Sieg heil.

Sieg heil.

What are you doing here?

Trying to leave.

Connecting flights to Berlin
have been delayed for hours.

Now they're saying it could
be some time tonight.

So where you been?

On assignment
in the Pacific States.

Uh-huh.

I was already marooned there

due to the security situation.

Any word on the Crown Prince?

They're saying he survived.

The Führer will be relieved.

It's a day to count blessings.

Speaking of which,

my mother-in-law's flight
has also been affected.

We have a spare seat
at our table.

Oh, no, John, I...

Oh, why not?

How long since we
saw each other?

- Nonetheless...
- 15 years?

It's VA Day.

I insist.

Just like the old days,

being bullied
by Scharführer Smith.

What do you say?

Thank you.

I'm sorry.
This is Joe Blake.

Rudolph Wegener.

An old colleague, close friend.

Good to meet you, sir.

Rudolph. Likewise.

Let's get you fed.

We are particularly concerned
on behalf of Mr. Matsuni,

given the scope of his
automotive operation

and the importance
to the economy.

But before we wade too deeply

into the somewhat choppy waters

of piracy in
the south China Sea,

may I ask, Trade Minister,
how is the Crown Prince?

Very kind of you
to ask, Ambassador.

As for my part, please excuse me

for forgetting to
congratulate you on VA Day.

Very gracious of you,
Minister Tagomi.

Particularly since
the Pacific States

choose to not formally
mark the occasion.

We celebrate our
shared victory fully

on Army Navy Day.

And I'm delighted to say,

since we are among friends,

that His Highness
the Crown Prince

will lead those
celebrations in Tokyo.

I saw him
first thing this morning.

He looked remarkably well.

And what of the investigation,
Trade Minister?

How is it progressing?

That discussion is not
for this room, Oberführer.

If you will all turn to page 2

of the Trade Security's
discussion document.

Does life in Berlin
still suit you, Rudolph?

Hmm. Yes.

Except for the politics.

Whispers about the future
of the Reich

and its leadership
grow louder by the day.

And I grow pessimistic,
I'm afraid.

I think that's called
getting old, my friend.

Perhaps. The thirst for power

brings out the worst
in some of our comrades.

What about here?

Heydrich reports

that you continue to keep order

with effortless efficiency.

Nothing is without effort.
You know that, Rudolph.

There are those
with short memories

who seek to drag us
all backward.

I thought insurgency had
all but been eradicated.

Those with strong hearts
and soft heads have not.

Ask Joe. He spent
most of last week

tracking the Resistance

in a covert mission
in the Neutral Zone.

Successful, Joe?

I learned a lot.

Hmm. You're lucky.

You couldn't hope for
a finer mentor than John.

Helen?

I bring an old friend
from the Fatherland.

Hi.

You remember Rudolph.

Please stop using the word "old"

when you introduce me.

I believe we met a few
times in Cincinnati.

I never forget
a beautiful woman.

It's good to see you again.

I'm a poor substitute
for your mother,

but I did manage to stop off

and pick up
a formidable Riesling.

Oh. Well, then you can stay.

Thank you.

Come meet the family,

and lunch is almost ready.

Okay.

Hello.

Uh, Mrs. Kasoura?

Yes?

Konnichiwa.
It's Mr. Childan.

From American
Artistic Handcrafts?

Yes?

Yes. Uh, how are you?

I'm fine, thank you.

Um, you had asked me

to advise you of any new pieces

that might be of interest,

and I've come across
one or two things, so

when do you think you might
be able to visit the shop?

I'm not sure.

Um, I will need to check
with my husband.

Of course. Certainly.

I just... I...

I would hate
for you to miss out.

Uh, I'll call you back.

Chief Inspector Kido.

You have a special permit
to sell firearms.

I would like to see
your sales ledger now.

Of course.

Certainly.

Have you sold any late
19th century revolvers

recently, Mr. Childan?

Uh, no, sir.

It is not an area of
specialization for me.

I normally deal with
pre-19th century armaments.

.45 caliber bullets times 3.

Sold three days ago.

Do you recall this transaction?

Oh, hai, of course.

Uh, Mr. Satoshi Matsuda.

Satoshi Matsuda?
He is Japanese?

Oh, hai, hai,
as the law demands.

Uh, in fact, the vast majority
of my customers are Japanese,

many of them placed.

Which gun would these
bullets fit?

Truthfully, Inspector,

it's not my area of expertise.

Easy to check.

And the address.

Matsuda resides in Tibet?

He was passing through,
I believe.

Sergeant,
you have been to Tibet.

I'm familiar with it, sir.

It's a small village,
quite remote.

You are granted
a special license

on condition that
the authorities are able

to reach people who buy
prohibited items easily.

Yes, sir, and I am
very sorry, truly,

but Matsuda-san is
a trusted customer, uh...

Who you trust is of no
consequence, Mr. Childan,

whereas who I trust...

that is of every consequence.

You understand?

I do, sir. Hai.
Very much so.

**

Let me get this
straight, Rudolph.

He stole them?

I did not steal a boat.

I temporarily
misplaced my own boat,

and I took another boat that...

That belonged to someone else,

which looked very similar.

A hovercraft would have
looked similar

after all we had drunk.

And I can't have one glass
of wine on VA Day?

All right, under
the strict understanding

that this goes no further
after today.

No.

- Want a drink?
- No.

This is truly
a wonderful meal, Helen.

To the most important
job in the Reich.

I hope you find yourself
a good woman, Joe.

And until then,

find as many bad ones
as possible.

Are you married, Rudolph?
I noticed your ring.

Married, but we spend
a lot of time apart.

I try and see my children
as much as possible.

You remember Catherine.

You're still sailing, I trust.

No.

What?

I assumed that's why
you lived on an island.

You spent as much time
on the Ohio river

as you did on dry land.

I... I... I stopped

right about the time
I left Cincinnati.

I hope you all saved
room for apple pie.

Yeah?

Hey, does the phrase "To life"
means anything to you?

No. Why?

Uh, I need you to check over
some employee details

for you, Frank.

Can I ask why,
Mr. Wyndam-Matson?

Because they've been requested,

so they need to be right.

Requested? Why?

It's not a question either
of us should be asking.

Everything correct?

Yeah.

Good.

So is there a girl, Joe?

Someone special?

Oh, careful.

Uh, no.

Well, there is a...

A girl, but it's...

It's complicated.

Well, nothing worth having
comes easy.

You know, when John
and I first met,

you wouldn't have given
us much of a chance.

We had nothing.
We had less than nothing.

His family started with money,

but then the Crash.

You know, John believes

that a man determines
his own worth.

Looks like you've done
pretty well.

You could have all this, Joe.

I see a lot of John in you.

It was... It's, uh...

It's been really great
being here.

- Yes.
- Just, uh...

It's been really great.

You know, it's a long way
back to the city.

Why don't you stay over?

Oh, no. I wouldn't want
to put you to any trouble.

Well, we have room.

It's up to you.

It's coming!

Oh. It must be
nearly time.

**

**

What was the Pacific States
assignment?

Trade.

Can't talk about it?

I can talk to you
about anything, my friend.

It just doesn't warrant
discussion. Routine.

A long way to go for
a routine trade mission,

especially when we have
senior people there.

Am I being interrogated,
Obergruppenführer?

Yes.

Miss Crain.

Your security pass is ready
for collection from personnel.

Level 2, room 2044, where
Mr. Eto interviewed you.

Be back in exactly 15 minutes.

Fellow citizens,

I stand before you today
a proud man.

On this day in 1947,

two years after the capitulation

of the government of the
United States of America,

the bloody struggle
to liberate America

was finally and
comprehensibly won.

Sakura Iwazaru.

And on this day
our true quest began

to make a proud
but demoralized people...

Can we get some snacks,
maybe? Pretzels?

Yeah.

I'll go.

In the history of humankind.

Criminality,

labor movements

masquerading as being
for the people.

It was a land of decadent...

Joe, you okay?

Excuse me.

Can I help you?

What? Yes. I'm here
to collect my security pass.

Shoulder to shoulder

- in a thousand-year Reich...
- Thank you.

Of strength and splendor.

One national community

truly united in eternity.

You were looking
for Mr. Eto?

Uh, no. Actually,
maybe you can help.

What's your name?

Christine Tanaka.

You do remember me? Right?
From yesterday?

I'm looking for someone,
someone who works here.

The Trade Minister sent you
to get an employee file?

Yeah.

Well, no, not Mr. Tagomi
personally,

but one of the girls said

I should ask
since I was down here.

I think it's kind of urgent.

Uh, the person I'm
looking for is Iwazaru...

Sakura Iwazaru.

You're sure about that?

Why?

What school did you go to?

You don't know
the Three Monkeys proverb?

See no evil.

Hear no evil.

Speak no evil.

And sakura?

Cherry blossom.

It's a pretty common name.

Who asked you to get it?
I can call...

Uh, no, that's fine.
Don't. No need.

Sounds like they're playing
a trick on the new girl.

New white girl, maybe.

Back to work.

Rudolph Wegener.

A senior Nazi from Berlin.

And at some point yesterday,

he vanished from his hotel room.

Well. Thank you for
informing me, Inspector.

You had no suspicion?

Of what?

The high-ranking Nazi
insinuated his way

into the center of our
Crown Prince's visit,

a visit during which
His Highness was shot.

He was on the same podium.

I did not come with
accusations, Minister.

At this stage, only suspicion.

Do you have any idea

how or why Colonel Wegener
fled from his hotel?

I'm sure that there's
an innocent explanation.

Yesterday you issued
a diplomatic visa.

Yes, I did.

May I ask who to?

You may, but I believe
all you need to know

is that it wasn't Mr. Baynes
or your Colonel Wegener.

I will need you to share
everything you have on this man

with my office.

Yes, of course.

Thank you for your
cooperation, Trade Minister.

**

Drinking nothing but
Polish vodka.

Have you ever had Polish vodka?

It's not good.

Thank you, son.

I think this occasion calls for

the really good stuff,
gentlemen.

I've never been to the
Pacific States, Rudolph.

What are people
doing there today?

Business as usual.

They don't celebrate VA Day.

- Really?
- Hmm.

I thought the Führer
made them honorary Aryans.

It doesn't mean they value
their people, Joe.

Here the worker is honored,

not a means to an end.

There's a great deal to admire
about the Japanese, Joe,

not least their work ethic.

There's no shortage of admiration
as far as your concerned, Rudolph.

I simply agree with the Führer.

Continued peaceful
relations with Tokyo

is in everybody's interest.

You have a family now, John.

Surely you agree that we must
do whatever it takes

to avoid war.

Perhaps.

Some wars are necessary.

We fought in one.

And you still believe

that everything we did back then

was necessary?

You wait till you see
Berlin, Joe.

The scale of...

You know what nobody talks about

on VA Day, Joe?

Nobody talks about the camps.

Nobody talks about
how many we exterminated.

We got commendations for it.

But nobody talks about it.

What's there to say, Rudolph?

It was necessary work.
We did it.

In war as in life, Joe,

sacrifices have to be made.

You never think about it, John?

I prefer to look forward.

- That's not what I asked.
- Rudy.

This is beneath you.

When you went out
sailing on your boat

all those nights,
alone but for a bottle...

I was trying to find
some perspective.

And yet you no longer sail.

Why is that?

Well, at least now
we have better whiskey.

Now we have a better world.

Ahem. Sieg heil.

Sieg heil.

Sieg heil.

Miss Crain,

Mr. Tagomi would like
to talk with you

privately.

Konnichiwa, Mr. Frink.

What do you want?

I was visited
by the Kempeitai today.

They have a particular interest

in antique firearms
and ammunition.

I don't need to know what you
did with those bullets...

Yeah, I didn't do anything.

I'm no fool, Mr. Frink.

Do not make the mistake
of underestimating me.

I didn't do anything,
and I'm busy right now.

So please leave.

I simply need your assurance

that they won't be found.

If official inquiries
come to nothing,

the only way this gets
back to me is through you.

I just asked you
to get out, okay?

And I warn you I will not die

as the result
of gaijin stupidity.

And don't underestimate
me, either,

you fucking
Nip-loving prick!

I talk, and we both die,

and believe me, you've
got a lot more to lose

than me right now.

We seem to have no choice

but to trust each other,
Mr. Frink.

Miss Crain,
I won't keep you long.

I merely want to thank you
for your diligence today.

The cultures we were born into

mean that we do things
differently.

And yet I suspect
that we also hold

many of the same things
in the highest esteem.

You've seen we don't have
many white faces here.

It will be assumed
by your appointment

that you can be depended upon.

Trust...

Very important to me,
Miss Crain.

I understand, Mr. Tagomi.

Uh...

Aikido teaches
the significance of reaction,

reading an opponent's intentions

through physical response.

Oberführer Diels,

at the meeting today,

kept touching his throat
when he spoke.

I do the same thing sometimes

when I'm trying
to hide something.

Aikido is a noble pursuit.

Good evening, Miss Crain.

I'm sorry.

Frank.

I'm so sorry.

I got held up.

This looks beautiful.

I called your mother

to see if you were there.

Then I, uh,

then, uh,
then I called the dojo.

Okay, Frank...

Okay, whatever you do,
don't say sorry again.

I didn't want to put you
in more danger.

It's about the films, Frank.

I'm not giving up on this.

- I can't.
- No. No, no, no.

- No. Don't do that.
- If I stop now,

I betray everyone
we've lost, Frank.

This is me you're talking to,

the guy who pulled you
off that street

all busted up.
It's not about them.

Yeah, it's... it's...
It's about you.

That is not true.

And why even mention
the accident?

How can you still not see
what you've done?

You know?

You know what? I...

I didn't ask for any
of this, Juliana.

I was happy.

How happy?

Huh?

I was happy.

Yeah.

We were only ever as happy
as they allowed us to be.

Frank, what if there's...
What if it's true?

What if there's
a way out, Frank?

- What if there is?
- Yeah, well, what...

For you, for me, for everyone?

What makes you think
you wouldn't lie

to everyone there, too?

I didn't ask for this,
either, Frank.

- Come on!
- Fine. Fine.

But just so you know,
I am not that guy

who found you
on the street anymore.

Where in the fuck have you been?

What have you been doing,
Juliana?

I got a job.

What?

At the Nippon.

You're working
for the government?

- For Trudy.
- They killed Trudy.

Wow.

You know, they took my, uh,

they took my sister...

my niece, my nephew...

and now you.

God damn it, Frank!

Whatever happened
and whoever's to blame,

I can't unsee that film any more

than I can unkill
that man in Canon City.

What did you say?

You killed someone?

- Okay.
- Who?

There was a...

A Nazi agent who...

Who tried to kill me.

And, uh, someone...

Someone from the East Coast
Resistance helped me.

East Coast Resistance?

A man?

Oh, come on, Frank.
What difference...

- Was he a man?
- Does it matter, Frank?

Was he a fucking man?

Get the fuck away from me.

Frank.

Frank!

There's a curfew, Frank.

Is everything all right, sir?

Helen tells me
you're staying the night.

Is that okay?

Yeah.

Hey, tell me.

What do you make of Rudolph?

He seems like a good man.

Why?

He's lying.

There was no trade assignment
in the Pacific States.

He was identified
on a diplomatic ticket.

Gave a false name.

Rudolph's flight wasn't delayed.

He was.

So you've known all day?

Yeah.

What about Helen's mother?

Dead two years.

She was a great lady.

I felt certain that he
would confide in me

at some point today.

Maybe I don't know people
as well as I think.

So Helen knew about Rudolph.

You must trust
the woman in your life

with your life, Joe.

And the less you knew,
the less he'd suspect.

Are you going to question him?

Me and Rudolph, we...

We performed duties
together that...

Bond men.

They bond men forever.

I have no objectivity here.

My heart tells me
he's a good man.

He's a...
He's a brave man who...

Who must have good reason for...

betraying his people.

But my head?

My head says we should
take him out in the woods,

interrogate him,
shoot him in the fucking face.

How do you justify this, Joe?

He's lied all day in my home.

Enjoyed my family's hospitality.

You tell me.

I'm asking for your counsel.

What would you do?

Oh, my taxi.

Thank you.

Good night.

John, Joe,

a real pleasure.

For me, too, Rudolph.

I wish we hadn't
left it so long.

You always were
too smart for me, John.

You were right, Joe.

Emotions can't be allowed to
interfere with what is right.

And sacrifices have to be made.

What the hell are you doing?

The meeting room
on the trade floor

is called Bara...
Rose.

- Right?
- You can't be here.

Sakura means cherry blossom.

Did you hear me?
You have to go.

Listen, I think Sakura is a room

somewhere in this building,
and I need to find it.

I don't know what it is
you're doing.

I need a floor plan, Christine.

Or why you think you can come
to me, but I need this job.

I promise this will
never get back to you.

But the next time that bastard
demands personal services,

at least you'll know you
screwed him a little, too.

I... I, uh... I didn't know
where else to go.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't
have come here.

But you did.

You did, Frank.

"To life."
Why did you say that?

Why?

Well, why do you think?

I think I remember
hearing it as a kid.

My grandfather, maybe.

Yeah.

I'm not Jewish.

That's okay.

We won't hold it against you.

It's okay.

Frank, this is Charlie, Clara.

Kids, this is Frank.

Yeah, it's the three of us now.

Losing people is one thing.

Not being allowed to grieve
for them, it's, uh...

well, that's another.

Frank, would you mind
if... if we said a prayer...

Uh, the kids and me...

For Laura and John and Emily?

- Amen.
- Amen.

Amen.

Heard the Crown Prince
isn't gonna make it.

Got to be the Nazis.

Amen.

Amen.

Amen.

Amen.
