The Man in the High Castle (2015–…): Season 1, Episode 8 - End of the World - full transcript

Juliana and Frank make plans to escape the Pacific States, only to be dragged back into danger by Joe as he tries to retrieve a new film. Meanwhile, Smith's loyalty is put to the ultimate ...

* 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 *

You got to tease him, see?

Fish sees that lure
moving around

like a nice tasty frog.

He's got no idea it's you.



Then you get him.

Okay.

Hold that.

But you can't ever let him
know who or what you are.

You understand?

I just picked this up in town.

All right.

New film. San Francisco.

Bring to me.

Sweetheart. Ha ha.

You okay?

I, uh, I need to talk to you.

Both of you.

All right, Juliana,
what is this about?



Trudy.

Have you seen her?

She's dead, Ma.

What?

Um...

she was shot by the Kempeitai.

No, no.

No, no. This...
There must be some mistake.

No.

There isn't.

She got mixed up with some
guy from the Resistance,

and someone told the Japanese.

Juliana, who told you this?

Someone who saw her body.

Well, I don't believe it.

Anne...

No. I don't care
what she says.

She's gone, Ma.

Your sister is here.

I can feel it.

Ed?

Ed? Hey, what's wrong?

The Kempeitai
are at the factory.

They had me convert a replica.

What?

Bore out the barrel, everything.

Oh, shit.

They must think the gun
that shot the Crown Prince

was made in our shop.

You've got to get
out of here, Frank,

before they arrest you.

Yeah, yeah. Well,
I was planning on it.

When?

Tonight. The 11:00 bus.

- You've got enough money?
- Not yet, but I will.

- Can you do me a favor?
- Anything.

Can you pick up the tickets?

They might be
watching the station.

I've got to get back.

Uh, let me give you some money.

No, uh, I've got it.

You and Jules are going to need

all the money you can get.

Ed.

There's no way to thank you.

That'll be 2.65 yen, hon.

I'll get that.

Just keep the change.

Just like old times, huh?

Take a seat.

What are you doing here?

What do you think?

They send you to get the film?

Yeah. And don't whisper.

Just keep it low.

How'd you find me?

I followed you.

I followed you until I made sure

you weren't being
followed yourself.

What for?

I need your help.

Joe, I can't.

I can't be involved in this.

There must be someone
that you know.

Someone that helped your sister.

I need this, Juliana...

more than anything.

I see evidence of sand casting.

I left that deliberately,
just smoothed it

where rubbing against
the Chief's skin

would have polished it.

That's...
That's excellent work.

And so fast.

Well, I'm motivated.

What?

When you approached me
about this, I was...

somewhat agitated.

You're not going to
back out on me, Childan.

I understand that you're
highly motivated, Mr. Frink,

but I'm not sure you appreciate
the gravity of the situation.

What gravity?

Selling a forgery

to high-placed Japanese...

Were this to go awry,

I... we could face
summary execution.

Hey, listen, you're going
to fucking sell this,

or I'm going straight
to the Kempeitai

and tell them about
the bullets you sold me.

You wouldn't dare
implicate yourself.

You just watch me.

Wait.

I have a nervous disposition.

Just allow me a passing
moment of anxiety.

There. Over.

My greed has returned
undiminished.

I will try to set up
the appointment.

Not try. You sell it,
and today.

Ahem.

Good morning. Um,

I'm looking for
three yellow daisies.

I was wondering when you'd
finally turn up.

I, uh, I got that job

at the Nippon Building.

We heard. Working for
the Trade Minister.

That's pretty impressive.

Yeah.

I guess you never found him.

Find who?

Sakura Iwasaru.

Whoever it was betrayed
Randall and Trudy.

Uh, no.

Keep looking.

It would be a big help to us.

I hear there's a new film.

Oh, yeah?

Where'd you hear that?

There's a guy looking for it...

An operative from New York.

He knows me from Canon City.

I know you, too, but that's
not the way it works.

He asked me
if I had any contacts.

Said he's got resources.

What exactly did you tell him?

I didn't tell him anything.

You sure?

Yeah. Look, if you don't
want to trust him,

I get it, but he
saved my life, so I do.

If we need help
from the East Coast,

we know how to get it,

and it's not
by going through you.

I'll see you around.

Could you please tell Erin

I'm very sorry I can't
make it this morning?

Thank you kindly.

The garden club?
You never miss that.

Thomas has an appointment
with Dr. Adler.

Girls?

It's dumb.

I fell in wrestling,

and the school nurse made
a big deal out of it.

That the same nurse
who wouldn't let you swim

when you had hay fever?

Nurse Krendle.

Rhymes with Grendel.
Know who that was?

The monster in Beowulf.

I got an A in Aryan
literature, remember?

Don't brag, Thomas.

Look, you go. I...

I'll take him to Dr. Adler.

Are you sure?

Yeah. Can't have my wife
miss garden club.

You are a wonderful
husband, John Smith.

Hey, none of that mushy stuff
in front of your son, please.

Get in the car, young man.

On the way we can
discuss a math grade

that was not something
to brag about.

Aw...

Sorry. I didn't
mean to scare you.

You're late.

My truck got a flat tire.

Slowed me down.

But no problems at the border?

Why are you so jumpy?

Why aren't you?

You mean because he sent me?

It's not normal.

You got the money?

10,000 yen.

Oh, God damn it.

Damn it.

Listen carefully.

We have what you came for.

Who is this?

Not important who we are.

What's important
is you want film.

And what do you want?

100,000 yen.

100,000?

**

**

You responded quickly
to my call.

With the hope you called
about something of importance.

If you refer
to your investigation

into the shooting
of the Crown Prince,

I regret to say I still
have no information.

Time is running short,
is it not, Chief Inspector?

For you to apprehend
the shooter.

Why did you call us here?

These films...

for the Man In the High Castle.

A new one has surfaced.

Has it?

This is the name
of a man in Oakland.

He intended to sell the film

but, tragically, was murdered.

The film in his possession
has vanished.

What have you done with it?

Chief Inspector, please
instruct your sergeant

to address me
with the proper respect.

You realize we can shut down
your whorehouses, your bars,

restaurants, drug trade,
whenever we choose.

Then there are labor
problems at the docks

and revelations that
high government officials

are drug addicts and perverts.

Isn't this better,
Chief Inspector,

doing business as friends?

How much do you want?

For the Kempeitai,
a special price.

150,000 yen.

You may prey upon
the weak and the corrupt,

but do not for a moment think

you can shake down officers
of the Emperor's Kempeitai.

Nurse, this is ridiculous.

He's been in there over an hour.

I'm very sorry,
Obergruppenführer.

My deepest apologies
for keeping you waiting.

Everything all right?

Looks like your boy
pulled a muscle.

Nothing a little ice won't fix.

Told you I was fine.

And can I have a word
in private?

Certainly.

Please take a seat.

Can we, uh,
make this brief, doctor?

I'm late for work as it is.

No, thank you.

Um...

this, um...

this won't be easy
for you to hear.

Thomas didn't just pull a muscle

wrestling, Obergruppenführer.

He had a tremor.

A tremor?

I wish I could tell you

that it was just growing pains,

but your son
has a serious disease.

Landouzy-Dejurine syndrome.

The symptoms, vague at first,

are loss of coordination,
weakness in the arms,

difficulty hearing...

That's... That's nonsense.

My son is the picture of health.

I'm afraid he isn't.

Within months, perhaps a year,

there will be paralysis.

That's a mistake, doctor.

You're making a mistake.

I would never tell you this
were I not certain.

He scored 10 out of 10
on the indicators

in the Brandt-Sievers
nerve test.

Okay.

So what's the...

What's the treatment?

Obergruppenführer,

we're talking about
a class A congenital disorder.

There is no treatment.

What do you mean,
there is no treatment?

No, I'm not accepting that, no.

There's got to be some
other tests you can run.

I want a second opinion.

You have the option,

but you should be aware

that if he is submitted
to others for examination,

this becomes
an institutional issue.

Oh, I see.

Yes, of course.

By virtue of your position,

I feel what must be done

can be done in the kinder
setting of your home.

I will hold your son's
file outside the system,

give you the time you need.

As for, uh,
medical assistance...

a syringe and an ampule
of an effective combination:

morphine scopolamine
and prussic acid.

Absolutely painless.

If you like, I can show you

how to locate a vein
in the back of the hand.

These came for you.

Arigato.

You are late, Miss Crain.

Yes. I'm sorry. Here.

Allow me.

Leave it.

Mr. Kotomichi,
please forgive me

if I've done something
to offend you.

You have done nothing
to offend me, Miss Crain.

It is your presence.
It brings danger.

You cannot know what he risked
giving you employment.

Look, I don't wish to harm him.

And yet you will.

Good morning, Miss Crain.

These are for you.

I see from your file that you
studied geography in school.

Yes, among other things.

I have an assignment
for you, Miss Crain.

It is sensitive by nature

and requires
your utmost discretion.

I'm honored.

A general from Tokyo
will arrive tomorrow.

He seeks information about uranium
deposits in the Neutral Zone.

What kind of information?

Size and location
of unexplored deposits.

I believe there hasn't been
a survey since the war.

Hmm.

Might I have permission

to leave the building,
Trade Minister?

Why, may I ask?

The library possesses
all geographical surveys.

Um, I thought maybe
they would be of use.

You visited the address
I gave you?

It was as you said it would be.

I am sorry for your loss.

Not just my loss.

Go on, Miss Crain.

Arigato.

Hello.

Hello?

You come here alone?

Yeah. Of course.

It's clear.

What the hell
are you doing here?

Take one guess.

Look, I can't help you.

We need you to take us
to your friend

Joe Blake.

Yes?

What is it, Captain?

Sir,

Oberstgruppenführer Heydrich

has just entered the building.

Heydrich?

Are you sure?

I'm surprised myself, sir,

but he's on his way up now.

All right, send him in.

No need. Here I am.

Oberstgruppenführer,
what a surprise.

You should have told me
you were coming.

I'd have prepared
a hero's welcome.

That is precisely why I didn't.

This is a working vacation.

Lina has come for the children.

Hmm.

I have achieved much

under the leadership
of the Führer, John.

The eradication
of the Semites in Europe,

the enslavement
of the African continent.

You are the man
with the iron heart.

A title I wear proudly.

But, as I've grown older,

I've come to realize

nothing is more important
than family.

No.

I've rented a cottage
in East Hampton.

Our families must meet.

Your children...

Sprechen sie schon Deutsch?

Better than me, certainly.

Ah. I seem to recall.

Still, it hasn't inhibited
your advancement, has it?

The Führer places
great faith in you, John,

to collect these films of his.

Yes, he does.

I understand terrorists
claimed the life

of Hauptsturmführer Lautz
and very nearly yours.

Yes.

My aide is still
in the hospital.

Critical condition.

You've made no arrests?

Oh, yes. One.
He died in custody.

So you still don't know
how they got to you.

Not yet, no.

Thank you, Captain.

What are you doing here,
Reinhard?

And don't tell me
it's a family vacation.

I think you can guess, John.

It's Rudolph Wegener.

I gather you've
extracted no confession

about his activities
in San Francisco?

What's your business with him?

I've come to take him
into custody.

He's my prisoner.

You forget with whom
you are speaking.

Wegener answers
to Goebbels, not you.

I will take him nonetheless.

My men will be here
within the hour.

I look forward to spending
some time together

while I'm here, John.

Maybe we can do
a little hunting. Hmm?

Am I glad to see you.

Did you talk to them?

Yeah, except they made me
bring them to you.

I didn't expect you.

That puts us even.

I, uh, told them
you had resources.

What do you need?

100,000 yen.

That's a lot of ramen.
Why so much?

To pay the Yakuza.

You've got to be kidding me.

They took the film from the man

who was going to sell it to us.

He's lying dead on a bench
in Sutro Heights.

Can you get that much?

Yeah, I can get it.

- Yes?
- Robert Childan

to see Mr. and Mrs. Kasoura.

Regarding?

I've brought a piece
of art they wish to see.

Do you remember me?
I was here for dinner.

Use the tradesman's
entrance, please,

just around the side.

No, I'm not a tradesman.

I'm awaited by the Kasouras.

And I've had instructions.

The housekeeper will let you
in the service entrance.

I was a guest before,
and I'm a guest now, damn it.

Problem here?

Uh, no.

No problem.

Uh, I'll use the side entrance.

Thank you.

Captain Connolly,
you continue to surprise me.

Sir?

You knew how our guest
takes his coffee:

black with four cubes of sugar.

Thanks to Oberstgruppenführer
Heydrich's office in Berlin.

His adjutant told me
how he takes his coffee.

So you did know he was coming.

No. I simply exchange
information with him

as a matter of course.

So when you go to Berlin,
he'll know

exactly how you take
your coffee, too.

Well, I commend you
on your attention to detail.

Where are you going?

To talk to Colonel Wegener.

Would you like me
to accompany you?

That won't be necessary.

Hello, Rudolph.

I never expected
to see you again, John.

Nor I you.

You're to be taken
into custody, Rudy...

by Oberstgruppenführer Heydrich.

Heydrich.

He flew all the way
from Berlin...

expressly to see you.

I don't suppose you'd
care to tell me why.

Rudy, you realize I could
have had you tortured.

The only reason you're alive
right now is because of me.

I realize.

You think you'll fare
better under Heydrich?

Of course not.

So tell me what you did.

Tell me what you did

before...
Before it's too late.

If I tell you, then what?

I'll try to help you.

While you attempt to mitigate
the damage of my treason?

Yes, of course.

I'm prepared to die, John.

I prefer it...

to breathing one more breath

under service to the State.

What happened to you, Rudolph?

We have blood on our hands.

Yes.

We spilt blood.

We spilt blood.

And I'd spill it again
to protect my family.

Is that what
you think you've done?

You can live
in your world, John...

if you can stand it.

I can't.

Not anymore.

Goodbye, Rudy.

This is indeed a first.

It's unique, singular.

The personal treasure
of a true American legend.

Now, as you hold this,
think that anything

that once graced the neck
of this mighty chief...

Every amulet,
every beaded wrist band,

even the clothing worn by
an Indian warrior such as he...

Is endowed with spiritual power.

Here it is in the photograph,

absolving any question
of authenticity.

It's very small in photo.

That's exactly what I thought
when I first was it,

so I had this done,
this fine grain enlargement.

If I cannot authenticate,

I have no right
to be in business.

Still, it shows
very little detail.

But it's clearly the necklace.

But is this truly proof?

Excuse Paul.
He's a lawyer.

I am not unaware
that, for some Americans,

there's a sense of victory
in deceiving the Japanese.

Mr. Kasoura,
I would never...

Please, a careful examination
of that necklace

and the photos offer proof.

Wu.

This necklace has wu.

I can feel it.

This is from someone

who has known great sorrow.

You know that this
belonged to a noble man

whose people were annihilated.

Do you see the sadness
in those eyes?

Okay. We have a deal.

When?

Tonight at 10.

A place called
The Bamboo Palace.

Can you get the money by then?

I'll get it.

Wait.

The Yakuza would sooner kill you

than hand over that film.
You realize that?

We'll take our chances.

Okay, then.

Hey, wait a second.

When am I going
to see you again?

You won't.

There are things
I want to say to you.

I can't do this, Joe.

Juliana.

Frank's a lucky guy.

What's that cop doing out there?

Uh, I don't know.

Nothing to do with me.

Did you sell it?

Hey, did you sell it?

Yes, yes. Here.

Your share's all there.
It's 46,000 yen.

You fooled him, huh?

Yeah.

He wasn't sure at first,

but, uh, evidently, you have wu.

Great pain and suffering.

Well, that I got plenty of.

Listen, are you sure

that cop's got nothing
to do with you?

Yeah, yeah,
I'm sure. Why?

Why?

Because we just made
a boatload of money, my friend.

With my salesmanship
and your skills,

we can make a boatload more.

We could, but we won't.

It was good doing business
with you, Childan.

It's time for you to go.

Come on.

- I won that.
- No, I won.

I did it.

How'd it go?

I ran the, uh...

Extra 2 kilometers, they said.

You see? I knew
you had it in you.

You keep it up.

May I, uh...

May I clean up for dinner?

Well, you'd better.

Thank you, Mother.

Well done.

You push him too hard.

I do nothing of the kind.

He was tired today.

He's a teenager, that's all.

What did Dr. Adler say?

He, uh, pulled a muscle.

Our Nurse Krendle is a...
A touch overprotective.

Hmm.

Smith residence.

Oh, hello, Joe.

Yeah, he's...
He's right here.

Well?

Uh, good news, I think.

I've made contact
with the Resistance here.

What do you mean, you think?

The film's been taken
by the Yakuza.

Go on.

They're willing to sell it

for 100,000 yen.

Joe,

if I agree to this,

you guarantee that they
will honor this bargain?

Yes, sir.

Joe, I need to know that you
understand what I'm saying.

I do, sir.

Good.

You'll need to get
to the Embassy

without being seen.

I'll make sure I transfer
the funds there for you.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you for giving me
a second chance.

Frank, Frank, there's
a policeman out there.

Yeah, I know. He's been
there all afternoon.

- What's he doing?
- I don't know. Just watching.

Look, we got to get out of here.

Did you get the money?

Right here, and Ed's
got the bus tickets.

He's going to meet us
at Foley Street at 11.

At 11?

Yeah. Why?

Just that the Japanese man
who gave me my job

has been really kind to me.

You can't worry
about that, Jules.

We've got to worry about us.

Come on.

We'll start over,

some place where
our biggest problem

is deciding what to name
our first kid.

Okay.

Okay, we'll go see Mom.

We'll go see Mama, and we'll go.

Jules.
Come on, we can't.

Frank, I can't just leave
without saying goodbye.

She just lost a daughter.
It'll drive her mad.

I... I have to.

You're going to tell Arnold

we're leaving
for the Neutral Zone?

All right.

All right, we'll go
see them one last time,

but you can't tell them
anything, okay?

Okay.

I woke up to an empty bed.

I couldn't sleep.

I could tell something
was bothering you.

Just a couple of things at work.

Look at you and Edmond.

You know how lucky you were?

I grew up an only child
playing with dolls on my own.

I worshiped him.

Seeing your brother like that,

it must have broken
your father's heart.

Yeah.

Well, at least now, when
someone is terribly ill,

they're not allowed to suffer.

That's a blessing.

Come back to bed.

You got the money?

I got it.
So what's the drill?

I'm doing this, not you.

No deal.
It's my cash, my job.

That's non-negotiable.

We'll be waiting right outside.

We keep the money in your coat.

Check it when you
go inside the club.

Have yourself a drink.
When you leave,

the coat checker
hands it back to you

with the film inside the lining.

Okay.

Let's do it.

Is there anything else
that you need, Trade Minister?

No. Nothing, Kotomishi.
Thank you.

Miss Crain never returned
this afternoon.

No.

That was delicious, Anne.

I'm glad you thought so.

Juliana's barely eaten a thing.

Sorry, Ma.

I'm just not that hungry.

Juliana, I don't expect
you to forgive me.

It's not up to me
to forgive you.

I didn't mean
for this to happen.

You have to believe
that I didn't.

I know.

They promised me.

Juliana, they promised me.

Now, listen, I...

I don't know what you're up to.

I don't know how deeply
you're mixed up in this,

but you listen to me.

Whatever it is,
tonight you stay away.

What are you talking about?

We picked up some phone chatter.

The Yakuza are selling the film

to operatives in the Resistance.

The Kempeitai are
going to be there, too.

Why?

To take the film

and kill the operatives.

Frank, I got to go.

I left something at work.

Okay.

I love you.

I love you, too.

I'll meet you there, all right?

I won't be long.

- I'll meet...
- Juliana...

I'll meet you there, Frank.

Jules...

Juliana.

I'm sorry.
I'll meet you there.

That bus leaves
in less than an hour.

And I'll be on it. Okay?

Look, some of my friends
are in trouble, Frank.

Friends?

You mean him, that guy
from Canon City.

And two other people.
Look, Arnold just told me

that they're about to walk
into a trap, okay?

They'll get killed if I
don't warn them, Frank.

I have to do this.

- All right?
- Okay.

- Don't be late.
- I won't.

Hey, that cop's
out there, you know.

Yeah. He's following
you, not me.

* It's the end of the world *

**

Thank you.

**

**

* It's the end of the world *

**

When do we make our move?

Not yet.

**

Lem.

What the hell is she doing?

Now.

Shit. The Kempeitai.

We've got to get out of here.

- What about the film?
- The film is gone.

What the hell
are you doing here?

It's a trap.
The Kempeitai are coming.

Come on.

Kempeitai!

Nobody moves!

Search the whites.

Come on.

Get the Chief Inspector!
