Man: Walk.

Go!

Frank and I were supposed
to leave on the 11:00 bus.

What do you mean, leave?



In some kind of trouble?

Yeah. He is.

I'm stuck in here, and if he
doesn't get on that bus...

You got to get on now.

Not without Jules.

Frank, this is
your last chance. Go.

I'll put her on
another bus tomorrow.

What if something's
happened to her?

I... I can't.

You fellas getting on or not?

- Yes.
- No.

It's no.

Right.

I'm sorry, Juliana.



It's not your fault.

You wouldn't be in here
if it weren't for me.

How'd you know anyway?

Someone...

Someone told me the Kempeitai

were going to raid that club.

Who?

It doesn't matter, does it?

The film's gone.

You ready to go?

Just about.

Don't worry. I'm okay.

Thomas, I warned you about
racing down those stairs.

I wasn't, Mother.
I promise. I...

I don't know what happened.

I must have...
I must have slipped.

It's called being a clumsy oaf.

Shut up, Amy.

- Come on, girls.
- Are you all right?

Yeah, I'm... I'm fine.

It's... It's nothing.

You, uh, you go on.

I'll drop him off on the way.

Let's see if we can get you
cleaned up, shall we?

So where were you
and Frank headed?

The Neutral Zone.

Were you going to live there?

Maybe try to get down
to South America.

I don't know, really.

So if I would have
come here a day later,

then I would have
never seen you again.

Frank must really be
in some kind of trouble.

What did he do?

I can't... I can't
talk about it, Joe.

You.

Where are you taking her?

Hey! Where are you taking her?

Juliana! Hey!

Oh, here she is.

Are you quite unharmed,
Miss Crain?

Yes, I'm fine.

Here you go.
10,000 yen.

You may go.

Aren't you forgetting something?

- The film.
- What about it?

We paid for it last night.
It's ours.

That was before you
brought the Kempeitai

upon my place of business.

That money will serve
as a compensation.

Compensation.

If you can come up
with the same sum again...

Uh-huh.

Hey. What about Joe?

We spent all the money
we had on you.

We're not leaving him here.

We don't have a choice.

What will you do with him?

If no ransom is paid,

deliver him to the authorities.

They'll kill him.

I expect they will.

I'll get you 10,000 yen.

Your friend is a member of
the East Coast Resistance.

That makes him of
considerably greater value.

How much greater?

50,000 yen.

I'll get it.

You have 50,000 yen?

I said I'd get it.

Karen: Where are you going
to get that kind of money?

That's my business.

Lemuel: I just spent 10,000
yen getting you out.

Yeah, what makes me so
valuable to you anyway?

You've got a job at the Nippon.

I told you that could
be useful to us.

Oh, I see. So I
work for you now.

We just saved
your life, Juliana,

and you don't seem
very appreciative.

Of course I'm appreciative.

I'm worried
about Joe. Okay?

Okay, look, this may be hard,

but if you can get your
hands on 50,000 yen,

we can't spend it on him.

You have to spend it
trying to get back the film.

You'll let him die for a film.

My husband Dom gave his life

for one of those films
last year.

So did my two brothers.

A month later, we got the name
of a guard at Folsom.

He helped ten of our people
in solitary to escape.

Because you delivered a film?

How does that even work?

The point is if you're
going to be one of us,

you got to be ready
to sacrifice.

I'm sorry. I'm not
ready to do that.

Good morning, Erich.

Obergruppenführer.

It's...

good to see you awake.

You look much better.

I'm sure I couldn't
have looked much worse.

I, uh...

I owe you my life, Erich.

And I owe you mine, sir.

We still don't know

who told those Semites
where to hit us?

Well, whoever it was,

I think they're working
under the orders

of Oberstgruppenführer Heydrich.

Heydrich?

Why would he want you dead?

I'm not certain.

Erich.

If anything
should happen to me...

I want you to do
everything you can

to get this directly
to the Führer

and only the Führer.
Do you understand me?

Yes, Obergruppenführer.

I don't think
they'll come after you,

but I had a guard put
outside, just in case.

Thank you, sir.

You get well quickly now, Erich.

I need good men around me.

Men I can trust.

Trade Minister?

Yes?

I'm sorry to intrude,
Trade Minister,

but Chief Inspector Kido
is here to see you.

Very well.
Show him in.

Trade Minister.

Chief Inspector.

Your ministry keeps records
on the import activity

of ships reaching
our port from Osaka.

Yes.

We require them.

Why, may I ask?

We believe the Yakuza
has been using them

to smuggle heroin.

Well, surely this is
no surprise to you.

My understanding
is that the Kempeitai

has long tolerated
such smuggling.

Perhaps, but no more.

Has something happened?

You will provide the records
as requested, please.

Psst. Jules.

You have to come
with me right now.

Good morning, Frank.

Good morning, Mr. McCarthy.

You care for some coffee?

No, thanks.

I heard you come in last night.

Yeah.
Sorry if we woke you.

It was kind of late.

You slept here?

Yeah, I hope you don't mind.

What's wrong with your place?

Hey, Ed.

Hey.

Hi.

I'm, uh, sorry about last night.

What happened last night?

We were supposed
to meet at the bar.

Ed: Hey, Grandpa,
want some coffee?

Frank already offered.

All right, let me
get you another cup.

Here we go.

- Frank, let me explain.
- What the fuck happened?

Listen, there was a raid
by the Kempeitai.

- You said you'd be there.
- Yes, I know I did,

- and I tried to get there.
- And I was waiting

and waiting and waiting.

I understand. I tried.

I couldn't get there, Frank.
I would have been there...

What about your friends?

The guy from the Resistance,
Joe Blake,

is being held by the Yakuza.

What has the Yakuza
got to do with this?

They've got a film
that he's trying to buy.

- Oh, another goddamn film.
- Yes, another film.

Yes. Okay.
Now they've got him.

And if they don't get
50,000 yen, they're going to

turn him in and they're
gonna kill him, Frank.

You're not asking for my money.

That's our way out, our future.

I know.

I can't just let him die, Frank.

- Why not?
- Why not?

Yeah. Let him die.

Juliana, let him die.

Let him die?
Frank, who are you?

Lots of people die, okay?

The Kempeitai

could come for me at any second.

I can't even go home.

I understand.
We'll find another way.

There is no other way.
I should have left last night.

Maybe, but you didn't.

You stayed for me, Frank.

Yeah. Yeah, and now
I'm wondering why,

you know, if you've always
got another excuse.

Why do you care so much
about him anyway?

Frank, Look at me.

I want to be with you.

You hear me?

But that man saved my life.

I've got to try.

I can't just let him die.

I've got to try. I won't be
able to live with myself.

Please understand me.

I mean, you know
I've only got 46,000.

Hmm?

Yeah.
Maybe it'll be enough.

I could convince him
that it'll be enough.

All right. No. I will.

No, you will what?
What do you mean?

Well, it's my money, all right?

I'm going.

You go?

- Yeah.
- You can't.

You can't.
They're expecting me.

They're expecting cash.

They're not going to
care who brings it.

I'll get him out of there.

And then I'm getting
out of here, okay?

With or without you.

* If we stop to gaze
upon our stars *

* People talk about
how bad we are *

* Ours is not an easy age *

* We're like tigers in a cage *

* What a town
without pity can do *

You appreciate wine,
Colonel Wegener?

I'm no connoisseur,
Oberstgruppenführer,

but I will certainly drink it.

Enjoy it.

Mmm.

Interesting interrogation
technique.

Do you intend
to kill me with kindness?

Not with kindness.

I'm aware of the treason
you committed

in the Pacific States:

stealing the design for
the Heisenberg device

from Reichforschungarat,

passing it to the Japanese
Science Minister.

That Officer Muller.
He recognized me.

We decoded
Japanese transmissions

a few days ago,
confirming our suspicions.

Why am I not in front
of a firing squad?

Ah.

Because our brave Führer
is a great man

but not infallible.

He's had the poor judgment

to maintain peace
with the Japanese,

and for some reason,
he sees merit in you.

I have the Führer's trust.

Yes?

And that is why
I traveled to New York

and brought you out of your cell

and back into uniform

to exploit that trust.

Whatever you want,

surely you don't
expect me to help you.

Your life is over.

I think we both know that.

But you have a wife, children,

Whether their lives are spared

depends on you.

Who are you?

I brought the money

for, uh, Joe Blake.

50,000 yen.

46,000.

That's...
That's all I have.

What are you reading,
Mr. McCarthy?

Manga.

"The Adventures
of Miyamoto Musashi."

Do you know who that was?

Samurai, wasn't he?

Killed his first man at 13.

But he was utterly ruthless.

That's what the Pons
understand that we don't.

You want to win,
there's no room for mercy.

You got to be prepared
to do anything.

Hey, Jules, could I
show you something?

Sure.

- We've got a problem.
- What is it?

I went to the bus station

to get you and Frank
new tickets,

but now they won't sell
them, not without I.D.

You think they're
looking for Frank?

Yeah, they must be.

How do we get out of here?

Where's Juliana?

She's fine.

Who the hell are you?

The guy who's saving your ass.

Can we go now?

Go.

Now wait a second.

What about the film?

You have lost it.

No. I paid good money
for that thing.

It no longer belongs to you.

I'm not leaving here without it.

Then you won't be
leaving here at all.

Come on.
We're going now.

Give it to me!

Give it to me.

Come on, come on!

You're Frank, right?

You stupid son of a bitch!

You fuck.
You killed those men.

I needed that film.

Okay, that was the Yakuza,
you understand?

The Yakuza, and I live here.

- Yeah, not for much longer.
- What do you know about that?

Just that you and Juliana
are leaving.

That's right. You want
to fuck up your own life,

you go ahead, but leave
us the hell out of it.

Where are you taking her, Frank?

I'm going to take her someplace

you'll never see her again.

You're going to want this.

Yeah, right.

Now you used up all the bullets.

Chief Inspector,

we received a call
from Taishi Okamura.

What does he want?

He says the film he was peddling
last night has been stolen.

Not inclined to believe
Yakuza lies, Sergeant.

He claims the thief was an East
Coast Resistance operative

who killed two of his men.

Did he leave a name?

Joe Blake.

He was with another man

fitting the description
of Frank Frink.

You and Frank.

Are you in some kind of trouble?

Everything's fine, Grandpa.

I can't use my legs,
but my eyes work just fine.

Don't lie to me.

Yes, sir.

We are.

How dare you bring this
upon my house,

upon my grandson.

They're my friends.

Friends wouldn't involve you
in their mess like this.

Grandpa, they need help.

The Japs will kill you, Ed.

They'll kill me, too.

He's right.

We're very sorry,
Mr. McCarthy.

You have ten minutes.

Then I want you out of here.

Or I call the Kempeitai myself.

You okay?

Not exactly.

I got him out.

You did?

Thank you.

The problem now is how
to get you guys out.

Yeah.

He, uh, tried
to get the bus tickets.

They're demanding
I.D. papers.

You got to be kidding me.

Ed:
I'm sorry, Frank.

Your friends from last night,

could they help us?

No. No, they're not
going to help us.

They want me working
in the Nippon Building

where I can serve them.

Fuck, fuck.

There's got to be another way.

Major. Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

Have you seen
Obergruppenführer Smith?

No. He hasn't
been in today.

That's odd, isn't it?

Is it?

Do you know where he went?

I'm right here, Captain.

Obergruppenführer.

I was concerned. You didn't
phone in this morning.

Well, you needn't worry,
as you can see.

Might I have
a brief word in private?

Frank!

Yeah.

I...

Here.

What are you doing?

What's it look like I'm doing?

We can't...
We can't take this.

No, no, Jules. Listen.

I know it's not much.

It's only a few hundred yen,

but it's better than nothing.

Ed, come on.

Don't argue with me, all right?

Where you guys are going,

you're going to need
all the help you can get.

Take it.

What about the gun?

I got it.

All right.
Then give it to me.

I'll get rid of it.

I don't know if I'll
see you again, so...

Oh, no, no.
I'll see you again.

- Thanks.
- Yeah.

Come here.

You're a good friend.

Thank you.

All right.

Go.

Go.

Come on.

Sir, if this is about yesterday,

I'd like to apologize

for surprising you

with Oberstgruppenführer
Heydrich.

Oh, you don't have
to apologize, Captain.

You didn't know he was coming.

Did you?

No.

But you did know

that he takes four sugars
in his coffee.

And you...
You did have access

to the travel routes for me
and Hauptsturmführer Lautz

on the day our cars
were ambushed

and to the cell

where the terrorist Semite

supposedly slit his own throat.

Sir, you can't suspect me.
We've been through this.

Yes.

But I didn't know then

that it was Heydrich
who gave the order.

Now, if it was Heydrich,

I can see why a man
might be prepared

to take a bullet
to the back of the head

before you betray him.

Oh, I understand.

You were just following orders.

You probably don't even know

why he wanted me
and Lautz out of the way.

No, sir. I don't.

I didn't think so.

Aah!

Major Klemm, alert the police.

There's been a suicide.

Shit.

Not that way.
What are you doing here?

- We need your help.
- They're checking identity papers

at the bus station.

We need another way
out of the city.

Why don't you ask Karen and Lem?

Because we're asking you.

- Can you help us, Joe?
- I can try.

You're going to have to do
a hell of a lot more than try.

What is he saying?

He's telling you to stop.

Take this.
I'm going to lose him.

Where can I meet you later?

There's a school around the corner.
It'll be closed today.

- Okay.
- Be careful.

Colonel.

You look rested.

Hardly.

You've had time to reflect
on your situation.

I have.

This is a list of names,

not just my wife and children

but her father and
the rest of her family.

Ten lives in exchange for yours.

That's the deal.

You need not worry, Colonel.

Come.
You have a rocket to board.

Where am I going?

Berlin.

What is it you expect
me to do there?

I thought it was
obvious, Colonel.

The Führer is old and ill,

standing in the way
of the empire he built.

Am I meant to talk to him?

No, Colonel Wegener.

You're meant to kill him.

General Hata.

Trade Minister.

Please.

You have compiled the data

on the uranium deposits
in the Neutral Zone?

We are collecting it
now, General.

May I ask what it concerns?

You are aware

that our failure to develop
the Heisenberg device

has put us at a strategic
disadvantage to the Nazi Empire.

Yes, of course.

While our Science
Minister was here

for the Crown Prince's address,

he discovered a roll of
microfilm in his suit pocket.

It contained
the technical information

needed to build our own device.

That is wonderful, General.

If we develop our own weapon,

we will have parity
with the Nazis.

We have no interest in parity.

But surely a balance in power

would achieve
the Crown Prince's dream

of a sustainable peace.

The Crown Prince
is a changed man

since the attempted
assassination.

He has woken up
to the Nazi threat.

Whoever gave those plans
to the Science Minister

cannot have intended them
to promote war.

What relevance
could that possibly have?

If we strike with
such a terrible weapon,

you must know the Nazis
will retaliate.

Millions will die.

These matters are not of your
concern, Trade Minister.

You will please supply
the necessary information

on the uranium deposits.

Good night, Major.

Good night, Obergruppenführer.

This is Major Klemm.

Sir.

It's Joe Blake.

Yes, Joe?

I got the film, sir.

Well done.

I'm pleased.

There's a...

a little bit of a problem.

I had to kill two men to get it.

They were members of the Yakuza.

The police are
looking for me, sir.

I'm going to need help
getting out of the city.

Oh, we can manage that.

Can you stay someplace
out of sight for a few hours?

Yes, sir.

I'm going to need to take
some people with me, sir.

What are you talking about?

Juliana Crain.

She helped me.

- Joe.
- Look, I need...

I need to get her out
and her boyfriend, too.

That's not how it works.

She risked her life for me, sir.

That was her decision.

I owe her my life.

Is she with you now?

No, sir.

You owe her nothing, Joe.

That woman is an operative
for the Resistance.

Next time you see her,
she's not to be rescued.

She is to be shot.

Do you understand me?

Yes, sir.

We are looking for the man
who killed your guards,

but I assume that's not
why you asked me here.

You impounded heroin
at the docks this afternoon.

Am I to conclude that this
was in retaliation?

You may conclude as you wish.

Such behavior is futile,
Chief Inspector.

The Yakuza cannot be destroyed

any more than the sun
can destroy the shade.

This has been understood

in our homeland for centuries.

I cannot destroy
the shadows you cast,

but I can and will contain it.

That is my duty.

Just as it is your duty

to arrest the man who
shot the Crown Prince.

I'm told if you do not
make an arrest by tomorrow,

Tokyo demands that you
commit seppuku.

No one need remind me
of my duty.

I have a suspect close at hand.

You mean that hakujin?

The one who works
in the replica factory?

The real assassin fired
from a clock tower

with a sniper's rifle.

Your so-called inconclusive
ballistics report

told you as much.

What's your point?

I believe you have
pursued a false suspect

to disguise a truth you
have known from the start:

that the assassin
is a Nazi agent.

If it were known

that a Nazi fired at our Prince,

that would be an act of war,

a war many in the Reich
would be happy to see

but one our empire would
almost certainly lose.

I do not deny your accusation,

nor will I confirm it.

I don't need you to,
Chief Inspector.

You see, I have the name
of the assassin,

the real assassin.

Name your price.

My price cannot be
paid with money,

Chief Inspector,

but it is very, very high.

Hello?

Helen:
In here.

John.

Reinhard.
What a surprise.

As I told you, I'm staying
in East Hampton.

I thought I would drop in
and see you on my way home.

He's been regaling the children

with his war stories.

I must admit to
a certain nostalgia.

The duty of maintaining order

is never as thrilling

as the challenge
of establishing it.

Those tribal chieftains
in Africa...

Certainly very fierce.

Subhuman, of course, but proud.

It required great strength
of will to subdue them.

I can't wait until I'm
old enough to see Africa.

One day, my boy.

Can I fix you another drink,
Reinhard?

I wish I could, but my
family's expecting me.

Could I have a word in private?

Certainly.

So...

what can I, uh, help you with?

I was concerned, John,

after I heard about the death

of Captain Connolly
this afternoon.

Yes. It's
a terrible thing, that,

suicide.

Had he been depressed?

Not that I know of.

I guess you never can tell
what's going on inside a man.

No. You can't.

John, I'm going hunting
in the morning.

I'd be delighted
if you would join me.

That's very kind of you,

but I'm afraid I'm working
tomorrow morning.

Work can wait.
I insist.

Very well, then.

Your boy Thomas,
he's a fine young man.

Bring him along.

Let's leave our families
out of this, shall we?

The address is here.

Is 7 too early?

7's fine.

Are you all right,
Trade Minister?

Just feeling far from home.

I understand.

Kotomichi.

Where are you from in Japan?

Nagasaki.

Ah.

Beautiful city.

Yes. It is.

Aren't you going home,
Trade Minister?

Soon, soon.

Good night, Kotomichi.

God, this is the shit
they have these kids draw?

Their art?

It'll be dark soon.

Maybe he's not coming.

He'll come.

I have his film.

Why is this one
so important anyway?

This isn't like the other film.

No.

That's me.
