The Man in the High Castle (2015–…): Season 2, Episode 8 - Loose Lips - full transcript

[film projector starts]

♫ Edelweiss, edelweiss ♫

♫ Every morning you greet me ♫

♫ Small and white ♫

♫ Clean and bright ♫

♫ You look happy to see me ♫

♫ Blossom of snow,
may you bloom and grow ♫

♫ Bloom and grow forever ♫

♫ Edelweiss, edelweiss ♫

♫ Bless my homeland forever ♫

What's going to happen?



I don't know.

But for now,
the Führer's condition

is going to be kept
secret from the public.

And if things
turn for the worse?

You're probably going
to have to get Thomas

packed and ready
as soon as possible.

Listen, you're going to have
to be ready for anything.

Helen...

we've been through worse.

We'll get through this.

Stay close to the phone.

You might want
to put those pieces
back in the cupboard

before Nori sees.

No need to dredge up
bad memories.



What bad memory?

Well,

never mind.

No. No. Please.

Tell me.

Come on. You really
don't remember?

You were upset.

I know you didn't mean
to scare the baby.

I did this?

Yeah.

You are different
than what I remember.

You seem to have
found a purpose here.

Meaning.

You are free.

Why, yes, I am.

Nori and I are very happy,

and I'm glad
you're warming to that.

Was I that disapproving?

Look, that... that night,

Nori didn't actually think
you'd go through with it.

But I ran after you,

and I lost you in the fog
by the bridge.

I got scared.

Scared?

Scared that you jumped.

It's good to see you happy, too.

Danke, Sylvia.

This is so nice of her,
I'm starting to feel guilty.

Mm. No, no, no.
On the contrary.

You make her happy, Josef.

It has been so many
years since...

Since I had a family.

But now I finally have
someone to share it with.

It's not New York, but...

yeah, I guess this place
could grow on me.

Good. I'm glad.

We have a bright future.

You mean anschluss?

After that,
there's no stopping us.

There's the space program.

And after we've perfected
the face of the earth,

we can look onto the stars.

You know, if Nicole's friends
could hear the way you talk,

they might be less critical.

So...

you like her, huh?

Nicole.

She's, uh, intelligent,
ambitious,

and she's very pretty.

Glad you approve.

You don't sound so convinced.

There is, uh...

was...

Someone else.

Someone in America?

She died.

Someone you loved, huh?

I'm sorry.

What was her name?

Juliana.

What was your wife's name?

My wife's name was Gerda.

I'm sorry.

To the women we lost

who made us better men.

Prosit.

Thanks.

[Sylvia, men arguing in German]

Reichsminister Heusmann...

Whatever happens,
you stay close to me.

Achtung!

What is that?

The Führer's office, I guess.

Don't worry.

And a pleasure to meet you...

Josef.

I'm your godfather.

Did you know that?

As a child of Lebensborn.

I look forward to seeing
a great deal more of you

in the days to come.

Heil Hitler.

Heil Hitler.

Where's the Führer?

The Führer...

is in a coma.

The doctors say

it is unlikely he will recover.

Until the Party meets
and selects his successor,

the Führer had ordered

that I be named
acting chancellor.

Trust me, it's not an honor

anyone would want, Josef.

I don't understand.

You see, this has
happened before.

Once the Führer was unwell,

and for a time
it was thought
as he would die,

so Reichsmarshall Göring

declared himself
acting chancellor.

I never heard about that.

That's because Hitler
had Göring shot,

along with his entire family.

[sigh]

This is different, right?

- He chose you.
- Yes.

And because I've been chosen,

I must do my duty.

Well, why?
You're an engineer.

An engineer. Exactly,

and therefore not a threat,

unlike Himmler and the others

who would kill for this,

and very well might,

whether the Führer
recovers or not.

I will be held
directly responsible

for everything that
is bound to go wrong
in the days ahead.

Or maybe they'll thank you.

[chuckle]

Ah, the American in you
remains so optimistic...

and naive, Josef.

I want you to go back there.

What?

Return to New York today.

It is no longer safe
for you here.

Please go.

Thank you for coming.

The rumors are true, then?

I need to know
if what my father is
telling me is right.

Did he ask you to leave?

Yes, he did.

He's acting Chancellor now.

He's in charge.

So you agree with him.

From a political point
of view or personal?

How about you just give me
a straight answer for once?

Your father is a good man,
but that won't save him now.

He's surrounded by jackals,

and I'm afraid
they will eat him alive.

And if you stay,
they will eat you, too.

♫♫ ["Figaro" overture]

[knock on door]

Miss Mills.

Hello, John.

May I?

Why, yes, of course.

Is everything all right?

Take a seat.

I was... hoping

we'd have had
this conversation by now

and that you would have
initiated it.

In fact, I'm...

You know, I was prepared
to just sit and wait

until you did so.

But unfortunately,

I can wait no longer.

Gosh, I'm sorry.

I don't know what it is
you're referring to.

You're very good...

in this, uh...
this role you play.

The bird with the broken wing.

I'm sure it works...

more often than not.

But we both know...

you're much stronger
than you want people to know.

Don't we?

John, I... I don't know

what it is you think I've done.

What I know you've done

is withhold information from me,

despite the fact that I
welcome you into the Reich,

into my home,

and into the life of my family.

I would never do anything
to harm your family.

If you keep secrets from me,

you place my family in danger.

I know you met him, Juliana.

Hawthorn Abendsen.

The Man In the High Castle.

I couldn't have told you
where to find him.

I know, or you
wouldn't have made it

out of the Immigration Center.

Well, if you have
his name, you...

You must have other information.

I only met him once
for a matter of minutes,

and I was drugged.
I don't know what else
I could have given you

that you don't already have.

What did he say to you?

I didn't tell you
because I was afraid

you'd turn me over
to the Kempeitai.

Answer the question, please.

He wanted to know if I...

He wanted to know
about the film,

the one I gave to Joe.

What about it?

He wanted to know
if I'd watched it.

And?

Am I under arrest?

Just answer the question.

Yes. I watched it.
Wouldn't you?

Tell me what you saw.

Uh...

it shows a bomb, an A bomb,

destroying San Francisco,

and members of the Resistance

being executed in the street

by Nazis and...

And?

And one of them was Joe Blake.

But it...
It wasn't real.

Couldn't possibly
have been real,

and I asked Abendsen how
they could have faked it,

but he wouldn't answer me.

And then the Resistance
came back,

and they drugged me again,

and they locked me
in the trunk of a car,

and you know the rest.

Thank you.

Is that all?

I'd like you to go about
your day, Miss Mills.

No one need know
about this visit.

It'll stay between us.

Yes. Yes, sir.

[door opens]

[door closes]

- [vacuum cleaner runs]
- ♫♫ [resumes]

[vacuum off]

Juliana:
He knows everything.

He's probably
watching us right now.

Dixon: Well,
if he knew everything,

he wouldn't need to talk to you.

Why am I not sitting in a cell

somewhere on my way
back to San Francisco?

I don't know.
He must have another
idea for you.

I've got to get out of here.

Listen, Juliana,

we're hearing whispers.

The S.S.
is on alert.

They're securing
key locations
around the city.

They're nervous about something.

And then Smith chooses today

to show you his hand?

We need to know
what is going on.

Don't.

He told you to go
about your day, right?

So what were you
supposed to be doing?

Lucy and I were supposed
to go and check on Helen.

Well, then you should.

You've got to be kidding me.

Helen may know what is going on,

and if you run,
Smith will find you.

Unless you help me.

But we both know you're
not going to do that.

You wanted the truth about
the films, about Trudy.

And now you have the most
powerful Nazi in the country

asking about them.

We're close to something.

We cannot stop now.

[doorbell rings]

I'll get it.

Hello, Helen.

Julia, hi.

Just thought I'd check on you.

I know Lucy was planning
on coming by as well.

Well, that's very sweet,

but I am a little tied up here.

You going away?

Mm-hmm.

I got picked by the Hitler Youth

to go on a trip to Argentina.

Wow. That's fantastic.
Congratulations.

It is an honor.

But Thomas knows

he is not supposed
to tell the whole world.

People do get envious.

So... when do you go?

Thomas, take your things
upstairs, please.

Quickly now.

He's feeling better?

Much. Thank you.

Listen, Helen, I...
I know

how difficult
yesterday was for you,

and I just wanted to say
that you can count on me.

[doorbell rings]

That'll be Lucy.

Yeah, unless you'd
rather us leave you be.

No. No, I'd like
for you to stay.

I could fix us some lunch.

If you're sure.

Okay.

Hai.

Chief Inspector,

a representative from
the Nazi Embassy is here.

He's asking to speak
with General Onoda.

Who is he?

Oberführer Diels.

Oberführer.

Chief Inspector.

General Onoda is unavailable.

Perhaps I may be of service.

He is upstairs
in his office as we speak.

I will wait.

What I have to say is for
the general's ears alone.

Then I will get him a message

if I knew what the purpose
of your visit was.

Tell him

I am here to defect.

This is lovely, Helen.
Thank you.

You make everything
look so easy.

[chuckle]

Did Alice call you?

I spoke to her, yes.
So did John.

She called me six times.
Henry was furious.

She kept tying up the phone.

It's been taken care of.
More wine?

Sure.

Might we have the TV on?

I was hoping to catch the news.

I'd figure you'd already know

what the stories are like,
given Henry's job.

That's why I want to see it.

He was up most of the night.

Why is that?

Actually, we try not to have
the television on while we eat

or discuss matters
better left at work.

I imagine it must be difficult

having such important
husbands...

Wanting to be
supportive, of course,

but then at home there's things

they can't talk about,
even to you.

It certainly can be difficult.

Actually, a woman's
role in the Reich

is to run her house
and rear her children,

and they make the world

look like a completely
different place.

Every choice that you make

is no longer about your future

alone.

Everything changes.

You said that you had
a serious boyfriend out west.

You didn't want children?

He did.

I was too scared

to bring a child
into that world.

It seemed...

seemed unfair.

Well, thankfully you're
not there anymore.

[phone rings]

Excuse me, ladies.

[ring]

[ring]

Hello.

Just one moment.

Hi.

Sorry, honey.
It looks like

I'm going to be
working late tonight.

Okay. Thank you
for letting me know.

Is everything all right?

What was all that about Alice?

Helen: I see.

They went ahead
with the cremation.

- What?
- I know.

They burned poor Gerry
without Alice knowing it.

They say it was a mix-up,

but Alice is still
looking into it.

She's still convinced
it's some kind of conspiracy.

She wanted a post mortem.

Right?

Too late for that.

Do you think there
could be something

in what Alice is suggesting?

Greater Nazi News
Service has learned,

in a last-minute
change of plans,

the Führer will be spending
the next few weeks

in his mountain
retreat in Austria.

Smith: Uh, listen, you don't
happen to remember

Martin Heusmann, do you?

Joe's father?

Yeah.

I just heard from Berlin.

It seems he's been...

promoted.

But that's...

That's good news, isn't it?

I don't know.

Yeah. I think so.

It certainly...

changes things.

I see.

What does that mean
for the trip we've planned?

I think it just means

we're going to have to
wait a little longer.

We certainly shouldn't pack yet.

No more said, okay?

I understand.

- Bye, honey.
- Bye.

[click, dial tone]

Perched high in spectacular
Alpine scenery

stands the Führer's
dominating house frontier.

Just peering up at this
magnificent medieval castle

fills the viewer with awe.

With so few moments to himself,

it is here that the Führer comes

to clear his mind

and enjoy his favorite pastime.

That's what you've
been wanting to see?

Henry was on the phone
all night with Berlin.

The Ministry of Information
wanted the broadcast service

to air footage
of the Führer's
holiday retreat

all day today.

But this

is old footage.

They had Henry pull it
from the archive.

- Why?
- Why do you think?

When you have to result
to old footage,

it means you can't
get anything new.

Maybe because there'll
never be anything new.

That's treason
even to suggest it.

...over the next few wee...

I... I'm sorry.
I was just...

Just gossiping as usual.

I'm sorry, Helen.
It was my fault.

I... I shouldn't
have asked.

No. You shouldn't have.

We should go, I think.

Uh, thank you for lunch, Helen.

Lucy:
Yes. Thank you.

Again, I'm sorry.

Sir.

Something you need to see.

When did this happen?

Within the hour.

No calls.

[ring]

Kido-tai'i.

One moment, please.

You may speak freely,
Obergruppenführer.

Smith: Is it true?

General Onoda

is personally considering

Oberführer Diels'
request for asylum.

And, uh, is it likely
to be granted?

The Oberführer brought with him

convincing evidence
that our Crown Prince

was shot by Nazi agents.

So...

he is one of them.

Obergruppenführer,

Heydrich's conspirators
could have sent him

to defect at any time.

Why do they seek to provoke
the Empire today.

I couldn't say.

But one thing's certain,
Chief Inspector.

It won't be long before
your actions in this matter

come to light.

There might be a way
I can help you.

Our agreement was to cooperate

for the benefit of our nations,

not ourselves.

I know.

But, uh...

to those that don't understand,

your actions...

could make you
look like a traitor.

Then I will face
the consequences.

As you wish.

Good luck, Chief Inspector.

To us all,

Obergruppenführer.

[line ringing]

Dixon: Yes?

Have your people worked out
what's going on yet?

Because I have.

I'm afraid you have
the wrong number.

Listen, if they want to hear it,

you better get me
in front of them right now.

I'm sorry. I don't know
what you're talking about.

This is Mr. Willet.

Maybe you're looking
for the Springs.

They used to live here.

Right.

I told you not
to use that number

unless it was an emergency.

It is an emergency.

Did you set the meeting or not?

Follow me.

Where are we?

Right here.

♫♫ [jazz]

Used to be part
of an old subway station.

The Nazis actually allow
a place like this?

Well, there's nothing illegal

about a little booze and music.

Well, maybe this music.

But if the Nazis show up...

they break into a polka.

Thank you.

Bandleader: Thank you.

We'll be back after a beer.

♫♫ [blues]

Hello.

Hello. Who are you?

George said you have
something to say

that I need to hear.

Maybe.

I'll give you what I have,

and then I'm done.

Your bargaining position

depends on the value of
the information to have.

Hitler's dying.

He's been dying for at least
the past decade, dear.

Tell me something
I don't already know.

The broadcasters were told

to put old footage
of him on the news today.

And Helen Smith snapped
when Lucy Collins let it slip.

That would explain
the security alert

and Smith coming
to see you this morning.

Today of all days,
unless you think
that's a coincidence.

If this is true,

it's time.

We'll have to move fast.

Hang on a minute.

I gave you the information.

- I'm done playing house.
- We'll see.

What the hell is she
talking about, George?

Something we've been,
uh, waiting for,

preparing for,
for a very long time.

Hitler's death is a trigger.

For what?

An uprising.

What if this is how it happens?

What are you talking about?

What I saw happen
in the film, George...

The end of everything.

What if I just started it?

[dialing]

Dixon:
This is a bad idea.

I bypass the surveillance
on this end,

but the Pons can
hear every word.

[line ringing]

Hello.

Arnold.

It's Juliana.

My God, where are you?

Listen, Arnold,
I don't have long.

Whatever you believe in,
if you truly love Ma,

you get her out
of that city right now.

Oh, Jesus, not this again.

Please listen to me,

and you tell Frank,
okay? And Ed.

Arn, it's George.

Dixon? Dix, what the hell
is going on?

Everything she's about
to tell you is true,

so listen to her.

Hello. Are you there?

I'm here.

[speaking Japanese]

Good morning.

You've eaten our nazuki.

There's more.

Oh, I'm...
I'm not hungry.

Thanks.

Juliana is a special woman.

Yes. She is.

You met her in college?

You already know this story.

Uh, yes.

Please, tell me again,

We were in college,

but we, uh... [chuckle]...

We met at a rally.

Protesting your government.

Remarkable.

[chuckle]

She, uh...

ah, she stood out.

She was so bright...

so together.

And brave.

In some ways
she's very Japanese.

That isn't why I fell
in love with her.

I wasn't suggesting...

Look, Dad,

I'm not trying
to forget my heritage

by being an American.

But this is America.

It's a world
where you can be both.

You do understand that, right?

Noriaki.

I'm happy for you.

And I'm proud to call her...

There's something
I've been considering,

and... well, what I'm
trying to say is this.

I think that we...
Uh, the three of us,

you, me, and Frank...

Well, here it is.

I think we make
a pretty good team.

I thought you hated us.

It's true that, as house guests,

you leave much to be desired.

You're incredibly uncouth,

and, as you've discovered
for yourself,

I do like my privacy.

There's a "but" in there, right?

Yes.

You've shown some
promise as a salesman.

Great promise, in fact.

And Frank is a real talent.

His forgeries have more Wu

than many actual artifacts
I've come across.

So you put those qualities
alongside my contacts

and my reputation,

and the fact
that we're no longer

under the thumb of the Yakuza,

think of the profit
we could make.

Are you asking us
to become partners?

I am suggesting a very
limited business venture

within clearly defined
parameters.

You're asking us
to become partners.

Frank: Ed.

Can I talk to you for a second?

Yeah.

You mind giving us a minute?

I beg your pardon?

I need a minute.

I'll ask him.

By all means.

It's his place, Frank.

He'll get over it.

I don't even know you anymore.

Why?

Because I don't
sit around with you

waiting for things
to just change?

No. because you used
to be a nice guy

who looked out for me and Jules,

but now you're just an asshole.

She left, Ed, with another guy.

Yeah? Well, maybe
she was right to.

I don't want to argue.
I need your help.

We... We need your help.

"We"? I told you, Frank.

I don't want anything more
to do with the Resistance.

The Pons are building
an atomic bomb

right here in San Francisco.

What?

We're going to do something

to stop it.

How?

With the explosive
we've recovered.

Are you listening to yourself?

Come on, please, stick with me.

You're all I've got.

There's a gentleman here
to see you, Mr. Frink.

Who is it?

I've learned some time
ago not to ask.

Well?

Uh, he says
he'll think about it.

Arnold?

What the hell
are you doing here?

How did you know where I was?

I called Ed's grandfather.

I figured if I could find
Ed, I could find you.

Is Anne all right?

She will be.

Frank, I just
came here to tell you

that we're leaving today.

I didn't think your employer
allowed you to take time off.

I don't work for them anymore,

and I'm not talking
about any kind of vacation.

We're leaving for good,

and I was asked to come here

to suggest to you

that you should do
the same thing.

Oh, yeah? Why?

Frank, Hitler is dying,

and when he goes, there's going
to be a Resistance uprising,

not to mention
a very good chance

that this entire city's going
to be wiped off the planet

- by an A bomb.
- Who told you that?

You don't think I'm crazy?

Who, Arnold?

Juliana.

She called me.

Ju...

But how did she...

Yeah. Yeah,
her Nazi boyfriend.

Hold on. Wait a minute. Frank.

She is in the Reich,

but she's not with the Nazis.

She's working
with the Resistance.

No, she's lying
to you, Arnold.
She's been lying...

It did not come from her, Frank.

It came from an old
war buddy of mine

and the kind of guy

who would give up
his life for you.

He wouldn't lie.

And did he know
about your day job?

All right.

[scoff] Frank, that's fair.

I wouldn't expect you
to understand

what I did for my family,

but do not call
my daughter a liar.

She never betrayed you.

She never betrayed any of us.

And I'm here today

because she asked me to come

and tell you and Ed
to get the hell
out of this city...

because she still
cares about you.

So I did it.

The rest is up to you.

Change of plans, Frank.

We're moving up our time table.

Because Hitler's dying

and there's going
to be an uprising.

How would you know that?

Is Juliana working
with the Resistance?

Did you know?

Of course not.

How could you be okay with that?

Not my call.

You fucking manipulated me.

You let me believe
Jules was a traitor.

Because she is,
and when she's done

being useful to our people,

she's going to get
what she deserves.

What the hell's
that supposed to mean?

This is war. It's bigger
than all of us.

So stop making this

about your own personal
bullshit, Frank.

I know.

I really thought
she ran off with him.

This whole time...

we were fighting
for the same side.

It wasn't just you, Frank.

I doubted Jules, too.

You never hated her, Ed.

You know, I actually hated her.

Well, now that we
know the truth,

what are we going to do?

I don't know.

You can't let them hurt her.

They're not going
to listen to me.

They think she's a traitor.

We never had to pay the Yakuza.

We could use that money

to buy two plane tickets
to New York.

I'm part of something now.

I can't just leave.

Because it's more
important to you

to get revenge
for Laura and the kids.

No. No,
that's not the reason.

You're about
to bomb the building

where they killed them.
Of course that's the reason.

It's bigger than I am.

That's your pal Gary talking.

The same asshole
who wants to kill Jules.

You don't owe the Resistance
anything, Frank.

Come with me.

They gas people like me
in the Reich.

Then I'll go.

Heck, they gas people
like you, too.

I'll risk it.

You don't even know
how to find her.

We can't just do nothing.

This whole time,
I convinced myself

I was the one saving her,

but it was the other way around.

She can take care of herself.

She's stronger
than both of us, Ed.

Dad?

Dad?

[baby cooing]

[clucking]

Josef, what are you
still doing here?

I'm not leaving.

Josef, you must
understand that...

That I could get myself
killed by staying here.

I know.

The girl I lost died for me

because, for some crazy reason,

she believed
that my life mattered.

And I think,
being here with you,

maybe it can.

Please.

Don't send me away.

[airplane flying overhead]

[alarm blaring, buzzing]

Obersgruppenführer,

if you will please get dressed,

we must evacuate you
immediately.

[alarm continues]

Please forgive our hastiness,
Obersgruppenführer.

We don't afford to take
chances with your safety

at a time like this.

Reinhardt...

I don't speak for myself.

What is this?

Please.

Please hear me out.

I know it's too late for me.

I accept that.

But I ask you to bear in mind

that I was just a soldier...

a loyal soldier...

doing his duty.

Am I to believe
the Führer is dead?

I ask you one thing.

Will you give me your word

that you will spare Helen
and the children?

How do I know
this is not a deception?

I wish it were.

One hour ago,

San Francisco was flattened

with an atomic blast.

I won't presume
to tell you the details,

but our invasion of the
Pacific States is underway.

And then I receive
an order from Berlin

demanding your
immediate release.

You won, Reinhardt.

[sobbing]

You won.

[sniffle]

You had your chance, John,

and now...

you are on the wrong
side of history.

When the Japanese
are eradicated,

we will have a better world.

A world, sadly,

you will now never see.

Do I have your word that you
will spare my family?

That is up to the new Führer.

It's not you?

No.

It is someone with
a much grander vision.

Heil Heusmann!

Sieg heil!

All: Seig heil!

[laughing]

Reinhardt?

Yes, John.

Thank you.

[gunshot]

Cancel the film.

We're too late.

[monitor beeping]

[rapid beeping]

[flatlining]
