The Man in the High Castle (2015–…): Season 2, Episode 10 - Fallout - full transcript

Tagomi enlists Kido in a deception to save Japan from destruction. As Smith's life crumbles around him, he makes a dangerously bold play to hold onto his power. Joe tries to do the right ...

Huh. What happened
to the light switch?

You were supposed
to be there hours ago.

That's fine. I'll just go
straight to the Pentagon

in the morning.

Oh, we're slowing you down.

Oh, Keller won't mind.

Where's my little baby?

Oh, kicking up a storm.

I'm pretty sure it's a he.

John.

What is that?



I think the Nazis
just hit Washington.

Gruppenführer Keller.
Welcome.

I trust you and your men
are well rested

since the flight to Berlin.

They're eager to crush
this so-called uprising.

Hmm. Perhaps you could
apprise the gruppenführer

of the latest developments.

The Führer's death
was clearly a trigger.

There have been incidents

in every major city
along the Eastern Seaboard

as well as the Midwest...
specifically Chicago, where...

Our true enemy are the
Japanese, not these criminals.

It is your decision
where to best utilize me

and my men, Obergruppenführer,



but acting Chancellor
Heusmann's hope

is that our reinforcements

will help you
end this destruction.

Well, since you plainly have

the confidence of Berlin,

Gruppenführer,

perhaps you could tell me

what additional
steps I should take.

First that you make an example.

Which city is reporting
the most unrest?

Larry.

Savannah, Georgia, sir.

I suggest we raze it.

I see.

What's the population
of Savannah, Erich?

Roughly 84,000, sir.

84,000.

Well, thank you, Gruppenführer.

I will certainly take your
suggestions into account.

I will make the necessary
preparations.

Our empire does not
possess such a device.

No. We do not.

And yet...

that test was clearly conducted

in Empire territory.

Bikini Atoll,

in the Marshall Islands.

Propaganda films cannot
fake such detail.

The film is real,
Kido-tai'i.

With your help,
it is my intention

to show this film
to Ambassador Reiss.

Impossible.

Ambassador Reiss and the Nazis

have already evacuated the city.

Impossible is not an option.

I can see the consternation
in your eyes, Josef.

Speak your mind.

All those people.

Yeah. I know.

It would be terrible.

But we have a responsibility.

Like getting justice
for the Führer.

No, Josef. I mean the most
important responsibility.

That's the Master Race

to imagine and build
a better world.

How is going to war
with the Japanese

going to achieve that?

Our alliance with them
was always a lie.

There is only one Master Race.

Therefore,
the burden falls on us.

What burden?

To end mankind's
constant state of war

so the real work...
progress, perfection...

can finally begin.

By killing millions of people?

Josef,

this war will be terrible, yes,

but this will be the last war.

And when it is over,

we will have a world
united and at peace

for the first time
in human history.

Imagine, Josef.

Imagine what humanity will
then be able to achieve.

Where have you been?

We've been worried sick.

I sent the girls to Mary's.

- Where is he?
- In there.

Thomas.

You both lied to me.

There's something wrong with me.

I know there is.

I want you to sit down.

Was I really selected

to go on the trip
to South America,

or was that a lie, too?

Please, Thomas, just...

Please.

Please, just...

just tell me the truth.

You don't need to know
all of the details.

It's okay.
It's okay.

Thomas,

uh...

you know, the truth is

we have been keeping
something from you,

and it's because we love you.

We... We didn't want
to scare you,

but I think we...

we both know we were
wrong to do that.

You have a form
of muscular dystrophy.

It's a disease
that affects the muscles.

That's why you've been
having these, uh,

occasional episodes.

Um...

can I be cured?

Well, the symptoms
may get worse,

but it doesn't mean

you're not going to have
a full life, Thomas.

You understand? It doesn't mean
you're not going to be happy.

Can I be cured?

No.

I've let you down.

I'm a useless eater.

- No.
- What?

No.

No.

No, you haven't.

You haven't.

I'm sorry.

- You haven't.
- I'm so sorry.

Do you have any idea
how proud we are of you?

But I'm defective.

Don't you ever say that.

No. To us, you...

you are perfect.

The law clearly states...

You don't have any worry
about the law, okay?

Now listen to me, Thomas.

Everything that's happening now,

I know it's very scary.

But I promise you
it's going to be okay.

You believe me?

You're going to be okay.

Ohh.

Yes?

Obergruppenführer Smith?

Who is this?

S.S. Security.

Lincoln-Rockwell Airport.

I'm sorry to bother you
at home, sir,

but we have a Japanese
national in our custody...

Chief Inspector Takeshi Kido.

I see.

He claims he's here
at your invitation,

but diplomatic visas
have been revoked.

Should I arrest him, sir?

No. That won't be
necessary.

Send a car.

Yes, sir.

Return his belongings.

Thank you.

The S.S.
are looking for you.

We're moving you
to a safe house.

You told me you were getting
me to the Neutral Zone.

The troops are moving west,

so it's safer to stay
off the roads.

No, no. I did
everything you asked.

You get me the hell
out of here now.

That's just not an option.

We had a fucking deal, George.

Oh. Like the one where
you're going to tell us

anything you had on the Smiths?

Yeah, that one. I did that.

Mm.

What about your little chat
you just had with Thomas?

I warned you.
Your building is wired.

Who do you think
installed the lines?

It's perfect.

You're spying on me.

You should have told us
that Thomas was sick.

You leave him
the hell out of this.

Do you know how many
of our people died

trying to bring down Smith?

This is the silver bullet.

You son of a bitch.

Smith is committing a crime
against the state...

concealing his son's illness.

We get this out
to our pirate radio people,

we don't have to
assassinate him.

The Nazis will
execute him for us.

The hypocrite
won't last an hour.

Yeah, and then
they'll kill Thomas,

and he's just a fucking
kid, George!

Who grew up to be a Nazi.

He's sick anyway.

You sound just like them.

What's all this now?

I'll tell you later.

I have to get Juliana
out of here.

Then you'd better get ready.

You wait here.
I'll be right back.

What do you mean, wait here?
Where are you going?

There are checkpoints
everywhere.

I've got to do something.

Thanks.

Poor George.

He thinks, by saving your life,

he's doing right by Trudy.

But you don't.

Go ahead and look.

My family was in D.C.
when the big one dropped.

I didn't know
your sister that well.

She wasn't with us for long.

But I never doubted
whose side she was on.

I'm pretty much done trying
to convince you people.

We made a deal.

You going to keep it or not?

A message from a friend
back in San Francisco.

Karen Vecchione.

Damn it!

Uhh...

You stay back.

Hey, p-put the gun down.

It's a disguise.

What the hell
did they do to you?

Did you know?

Look, Juliana,
let me help you, okay?

You fucking...
You all lied!

Now give me the tape!

I'm not going to do that.

Look at you in that uniform.

It suits you.

If you don't want
my fucking help,

fine.
You're on your own.

You give me that fucking tape,

or you are no better
than the Nazis.

Good! Because if we're
going to beat them,

we need to be worse.

Please!

Please!

I do believe my father
wants what's best.

But this can't be the way.

Well, is his mind made up?

Which is why
I have to do something.

You did.

You made your opposition known

to the acting Chancellor
of the Reich.

Those are just words.

You spoke aloud

what others would not
dare think.

And it didn't do anything.

Because it's not our turn, Joe.

The Reich still belongs
to the old men...

your father and mine,

the Himmlers and the Goebbels

and all the rest of them.

But they will be gone soon,

and we need to look
beyond their wars

to what we will build after.

If there's anything
left, Nicole.

Look.

You said you put your faith
in a person, not a cause.

Well, I put my faith in you.

Was it one of his?

The Man In the High Castle?

Aside from the late Führer,

does anyone else in the Reich

know about these films

or their true nature?

The Empire did not
assassinate your Führer.

Our nations will go
to war based on a lie.

Why bring it to me?

If there is war,

Heydrich and his
co-conspirators

will be the only victors.

And we will both have
failed in our duty.

Leave it with me.

Where will you go?

I would ask your driver

to deliver me
to the Japanese Embassy.

If I fail...

you may not be safe there.

If you fail...

I prefer to die
on Japanese soil.

Excuse me.

Raeder.

Erich, I need you
to pull up the files

on our friend in the basement.

Yes, sir. I understand.

What's going on?

I have to go to Berlin.

Now?

No.

It's just for a couple of days.

Don't you dare.

What did I say?
You don't trust me.

Trust you? Trust is not
going to fix this, John.

Nothing will.

It's in your blood.

Helen...

- Your brother had it.
- Stop it.

- Now my son...
- Stop it.

...has it. My daughters.

Even if they aren't
sick with this,

- they certainly carry it.
- Be quiet.

We're going to get through this.

Let's just stick to the plan.

The plan?

The plan where I never
get to see my son again?

That plan?

No, you make another...
you make another plan,

or the girls and I,
we go with Thomas

someplace where your
genetic defect

isn't a threat to us.

I love you.

Sir.

Wait outside the car, Corporal.

You bring the file?

Yes, sir.

Tape it.

I want you to stand down
the Savannah operation.

I won't burn
one of our own cities.

Yes, sir.

And, Erich.

I'm going to Berlin.

Yes, sir.

Once the gruppenführer
finds out,

he will assume command,

and he will order your arrest.

I know. And that's
why it's essential

I reach Berlin
before he knows I'm gone.

As far as I know, sir...

you're sequestered at home.

- If I may ask...
- Don't.

If I succeed...

then you'll understand.

Thank you, Erich.

John.

Hello, Joe.

Is there somewhere we can talk?

In private?

I need your help, Joe.

I need you to show
this to your father.

Why should I help you?

It's proof that the
Japanese have the bomb.

Bullshit.

You watch it for yourself.

Your father is
about to start a war

based on the assumption
the Japanese won't retaliate,

but they will.

If you don't help me, Joe,

your home's going to
become a wasteland.

If it's so important,

why don't you take it
to my father yourself?

Because they'd arrest me.

My orders were
to stay in New York.

My presence here is, uh,

unauthorized.

Why should I trust you?

You lied to me
since the day we met.

You knew I was Lebensborn.

You knew I was
Heusmann's only son.

It's the only reason
that you kept me around...

so that one day
you could cash in.

What can I say?

It's true.

Uh-huh.

At least you admit it.

What's also true

is that, over the years,

I came to regard you
in some ways as a son.

Ah, come on.

You don't have to believe me.

You have every right
to be angry.

But now you got
to put that aside.

A lot of people
are going to die, Joe.

More than you can
possibly imagine.

People who we love.

Rita, Buddy...

Helen, the kids.

- What makes you think...
- Juliana Crain.

What?

She's been living
in New York, Joe...

under my protection.

No, no.

No, I know that's a lie.

My family sponsored
her citizenship.

You can check it with one call.

She was in the Resistance.

You would have never
have granted that.

When I saw how
important she was,

I kept her alive.

You manipulative son of a bitch.

Obergruppenführer Smith,

I have an order for your arrest.

No, hold on.

The obergruppenführer is here

with critical intelligence

that the acting
chancellor needs to hear.

I have my orders.

And I'm countermanding them

on my authority.

Josef, what is this?

Something you must see.

What?

Enemy intelligence.

It'll take ten minutes
of your time,

but it will change everything.

What you're seeing, gentlemen,

is a new type of atomic device

called a hydrogen bomb...

with a magnitude a thousand
times more powerful

than anything in our arsenal.

The site of the test
is the Bikini Atoll

in the Marshall Islands,

deep inside the territory
of the Japanese Empire.

When was this test conducted?

It's hard to say.

Possibly years ago.

Reichsführer.

There's one more thing
you need to see.

This is backed up by
extensive audio recordings,

but I think you'll find it gets
to the heart of the matter.

You may be surprised
to hear this, Reichsführer,

but until two days ago,

Obersgruppenführer
Heydrich was alive

and in my custody.

Under interrogation,

he revealed a conspiracy...

a very large,
far-reaching conspiracy.

The Führer was not assassinated

by Japanese agents, sir.

He was poisoned

by the same conspirator

who was behind the shooting
of the Crown Prince of Japan,

the same conspirator
who, even now,

is plotting to provoke
a war against Japan.

One that will
consolidate his power.

Just think
of the innocent lives.

Come with me.

Father, you can't.

I know the casualties
will be high,

but that may be necessary.

You can't really believe that.

Did you listen to nothing
that I've said?

Of course I did,

but you can't
build a better world

if there's nothing left of it.

What the hell's going on?

Your father's a traitor, Joe.

You son of a bitch!

Well done.

Obergruppenführer,

follow me.

Der Rädensführer...

The Ringleader...

of these traitors...

Martin Heusmann...

attempted to deceive you.

- It's father.
- Shh.

The Reich thanks you.

The Reich salutes you.

- Seig...
- Heil!

- Seig...
- Heil!

- Seig...
- Heil!

- Seig...
- Heil!

- Seig...
- Heil!

- Seig...
- Heil!

- Seig...
- Heil!

- Seig...
- Heil!

- Seig...
- Heil!

- Seig...
- Heil!

- Seig...
- Heil!

- Seig...
- Heil!

- Seig...
- Heil!

- Seig...
- Heil!

- Seig...
- Heil!

This is where you get out.

Sorry?

It's as far as you go.

All right. Thank you.

...and the Reich forces

would immediately stand down.

At the 11th hour,
war was averted

by the shock revelation
that Chancellor Heusmann

had fabricated evidence
against the Japanese.

The brave sons of the Reich

who had been deployed
to the front lines,

were stunned to learn

that Chancellor
Heusmann's betrayal

was exposed by one
of our own leaders...

the GNR's head of intelligence,

Obergruppenführer Smith.

In a historic moment,

viewed by tens of millions,

Obergruppenführer

became the first American

to receive the Iron Guard
salute in Berlin.

Oh, sure. Dad's on TV,

and now you're gonna
act all grown up?

Reichsführer Himmler

welcomes a new era
of peace between a world...

I love you, Jennifer.

Later in this program,

we will bring you information...

- Mom.
- Hmm?

There's something
wrong with Thomas.

What is this?

May I have a moment, please?

Thomas.

Look, I won't tell them

about what you and Father said.

Be proud of me.

Tell Father to be proud.

No. Thom... Thomas.

Thomas, stay with me!

Stay with me, Thomas!

Thomas!

Thomas!

Thomas, don't go!

Thomas!

Thomas!

Thomas!

Hello, Juliana.

You knew.

You knew what would happen.

You showed me that film,
and you knew.

You knew I'd come here
and I'd killed him.

You think I wanted to hurt you?

No. No!

No, the only thing I knew

was that you, Juliana Crain,

were the only hope
any of us had.

You asked me if you
were in the films.

You are, you were,

over and over again.

Sometimes...

I'd see you in the
background somewhere...

a protest, a speech,
a war zone, maybe.

Some place that mattered.

I started knowing where to look.

You could never stay out of it.

Some of the people you knew...

I started seeing them, too,

revolving around you

like an atom. But...

they would change...

different behavior,
different relationships,

different points of view

shaped by their lives.

But you were always you.

You and your unnatural
consistent mind.

What if you haven't
seen this film?

Well, I got to know a woman

who would bet on the best in us,

who bet on people,

no matter what the world
said about who they were,

who they should be.

That woman would do anything

to save a sick boy...
a Nazi boy, even...

because she would believe
he deserved the chance,

as slim as it might be,
to live a valuable life.

And I knew that was the key,

the only way to make sure

that your sister's father

wouldn't prevent
that boy's father

from stopping a war.

Dixon died in an alley

so that son of a bitch
Smith could live up.

San Francisco is still here.

Millions of people will live

because of the choice you made,

the goodness in you, Juliana.

One selfless act
of love and hope.

That's what I put my money on.

I have no one left
and nothing left!

There's no way out!

You're wrong.

You're wrong.

Trust me.

Come with me.

Hey, sis.

Kono.

Kono.

Mr. Tagomi?

I'm a friend of Juliana Crain.

Can I have a word with you?
