It's done.

Thank you. I just...

It was an accident, John.

I just went there to talk to her.

I... I... I didn't mean...

She... she attacked me, and...

Oh, God, what have I done?

Nothing.

You've done nothing.

The Criminal Police are
going to investigate.

She interrupted a burglar.

Suspects will be arrested.

One of them will confess.

- Then it's done.
- No. 'Cause of the connection

between Thomas and Dr. Adler,

the SD are gonna take an interest.

- Do you understand?
- Yes.

I need to think very clearly.

No mistakes, Helen.

Hoover's gonna be onto this,

and he's someone we have
to take very seriously.

- Yes, I know. I know.
- Don't do anything.

Don't talk to anyone about Alice.

- I understand.
- And I'm sorry, Helen,

but you cannot continue with Dr. Ryan,

not with things as they are.

I'm so sorry.

(CRYING): I'm so very, very sorry, John.

I didn't...

I mean, she was my friend.

She was my friend.

- You... you speak English?
- Oi.

I'm looking for a streetcar.

Oi!

Around the corner.

Two blocks, turn left.

Thank you.

♪ ♪

You.

Huh. Smith has sent you, hasn't he?

That vengeful bastard.

You should've stayed loyal to the Reich.

The old regime needed to go.

Heydrich and your father,

they understood that.

My father confessed his faults.

Renounced his conspiracy
against the Fuhrer.

Then your father died a traitor.

(GASPS, GROANS)

(GASPING)

My father died a hero.

(DOOR OPENS)

Reichsminister Goebbels called me.

He held a private screening

of my film in Berlin
for the Reichsfuhrer

and a few close friends.

It went well.

Congratulations.

My uncle said that
Himmler went crazy over it.

I'll make sure that everyone's aware

of Berlin's enthusiasm for your film.

Reichsfuhrer also asked me

to start thinking about a new project

that would involve you.

I'm all ears, schatzi.

Jahr null.

Year zero.

An experiment.

A reset.

A new America.

What's the angle?

Deprive people of their
national consciousness.

Dilute their national pride.

Do not teach their history.

So the Reichsfuhrer

wants to erase American history.

They don't have that much of it, anyway.

When do we start?

This morning from Berlin.

Oh, by the way, you will be joining us

this evening.

The trade minister is
hosting a reception.

He was that important to them?

It was a provocation.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

Are you okay?

I was in a military
vehicle, and there were SS.

There was a road sign.

Lackawanna. Coal mine number nine.

- Film doesn't show that.
- No, but I remember it.

Have you been there?

- Only in my memory.
- Like the memory

of my son.

And the world you never visited.

Yes.

The man in the film. His name is...

his name is Joe Blake,

and he's a friend.

Was.

Do you have feelings for him?

I do.

Did.

We lost touch. Last I heard, he was...

he was in Berlin to see his father.

He's on the guest
list. Reception tonight.

Joseph Cinnadella.

Cinnadella?

The new junior trade attaché.

A spy.

That's what he was doing for John Smith

when we met, but that is
not the man I got to know.

- Do you trust him?
- We helped each other.

We kept each other alive.

I should come to the reception.

Tagomi-san,

I want him to see me.

If he's still the man that I knew,

- he will help us.
- Difficult. Dangerous.

- What if they find out who you are?
- They won't.

And we'll be meeting for the first time.

MENGELE: The Ahnenerbe Institute

will remain focused on the sciences,

under my purview.

Reichsfuhrer Himmler
asked that I introduce you

to some of our more immediate efforts

in advance of his visit.

The late Fuhrer's entire film archive.

At your disposal, with
Himmler's compliments.

Yes, I watched some of these in Berlin.

Surprising number of them

are insignificant or counterfeit.

MENGELE: And many are
not so easily explained.

Events, outcomes that
cannot be dismissed as fake.

The late Fuhrer knew
these films, in the hands

of our enemies, could be
weaponized against the Reich.

One of the archival projects is
to sort, catalogue and segregate

the genuine from the ersatz.

The Reichsfuhrer has
entrusted this task to you.

Me? Not Rockwell?

Just you, Oberstgruppenfuhrer.

The films are part of several
interrelated research projects.

Our coordinated efforts will
separate truth from noise.

(BEEP, INDISTINCT
FEMALE VOICE OVER P.A.)

(BEEP, DOOR WHOOSHES OPEN)

(SOFT, RHYTHMIC BEEPING)

(DOOR WHOOSHES SHUT)

Who is she?

Fatima Hassan,

a film courier.

A courier?

Why isn't she in SS custody?

Research, Oberstgruppenfuhrer.

We believe she came here
from... another world.

What we've come to
regard as a "traveler."

(HIGH-PITCHED STATIC, BEEPING)

I... I don't understand.

The Fatima Hassan from our world

had a fatal reaction

during clinical research on
abnormal skin pigmentation.

Yes, I, uh...

I keep records of my
research, Oberstgruppenfuhrer.

See?

So you're saying that...

what, different versions of us

exist in other worlds?

Precisely.

Across the multiverse.

She's living proof.

Same fingerprints, same individual,

who has somehow learned to
traverse the astral plane.

(BEEP, DOOR WHOOSHES OPEN)

She had this film with her
when she was apprehended.

Put that aside. I should, uh...

I should probably take
some of these with me.

(BEEP, DOOR WHOOSHES OPEN)

Well, I have to say this is, uh...

like something out of
Fredric Brown, Doctor.

Still theoretical, but
we are making progress.

Our physicists and engineers
are working on mechanical means

of travel to other worlds.

Let me show you the rest of the...

Good to see you again, Tagomi-san.

Ambassador Weber, welcome.

Our new attaché from New
York... Joseph Cinnadella.

It's a pleasure to meet
you, Trade Minister.

What a lovely building this is.

TAGOMI: Thank you, Ambassador.

Yes, though it is nothing

in comparison to the
splendor of your embassy...

- Good to see you. Welcome.

Nice of you to come tonight.

MAN: I'm enjoying
this evening very much.

WOMAN: Could I see one more cocktail?

WOMAN 2: Would you like some company?

MAN: Yes, please.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Taii-dono.

Thank you again for meeting me.

Okami.

I apologize for the long delay.

No need.

I hope you are fully
recovered from your injuries.

I am... fully recovered.

It is unhealthy to leave
certain matters unresolved.

We start with a blank slate, yes?

A new beginning.

(SIGHS)

Good.

MAN: That was for Hamamoto?

- WOMAN: Hamamoto, that's right.
- Right.

MAN: Here you go.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

MAN: Yes, ma'am.

Kido-san.

Everything all right?

Ah.

MAN: Here you are, sir.

I saw you talking to the Yakuza.

- The new boss.
- Hmm.

Okami.

The Wolf.

And he is getting hungry.

Since Taishi's death, things
have... been uncertain.

And with the embargo,

he knows there is money to be made.

I need to persuade him to work with us.

So that's a good thing.
Business as usual.

Business as usual.

(SIGHS)

What's bothering you tonight?

I've never seen you like this.

Sumimasen.

Perhaps they should not have come.

Who?

My family.

I was...

resolved.

No, Kido-san... you were not.

You've been lonely for
as long as I've known you.

I go.

Please... come lie down.

Until you feel better.

MAN: Have a good time.

No.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER, TRADITIONAL

Mr. Cinnadella.

Very nice to meet you.

Excuse me.

Walk with me.

So you're the new trade attaché.

I am.

And you're coming from New York?

Yes.

Not Berlin?

I was in Berlin before
I returned to New York.

I see.

I'm here dealing with the oil crisis.

What brings you here?

I'm a guest of the trade minister.

- What's your connection?
- Why do you ask?

Just curious.

I used to work for him.

And now?

He asked me here because
I've spent time in the GNR.

I see.

The trade minister... what's he like?

I have to work with him.

Well, to understand him, you'd
have to understand the Japanese.

Well, with your knowledge,
maybe you can teach me.

Maybe.

(WHISPERS): Juliana.

(WHISPERS): Not here.

You'll excuse me.

Arigatoh-gozaimasu.

- Good night, Ambassador.

Thank you for your
hospitality, Trade Minister.

We have much to talk about. Tomorrow?

I'll clear my schedule.

I'll be in touch.

- Good night.
- Good night.

Is he still the man you knew?

I don't know.

SMITH: Helen?

Hugo sent over a few
dresses for this evening.

I'm not sure which to wear.

Oh. Bridget can help
you pick something out.

I don't want to go, John.

We don't have a choice, Helen.

Berlin supports this film.

Now it's Reich propaganda.

- Oh, God.
- (SIGHS)

Is Dr. Mengele going
to be there tonight?

Why?

Can you ask him to find out
exactly what happened to Thomas?

No. No, Helen.

- Please.
- No. Helen.

No.

Thomas... died...

with conviction.

A strong, fine young man.

A hero.

That's what happened to him.

I...

I'm so sorry.

Do you miss Japan?

(BIRDS SCREECHING)

Mm. Have you been?

I planned to go.

(BOAT HORN BLOWS)

With my husband.

He was Japanese?

Mm, Tai-i in the Navy.

Stationed over at Pearl
Harbor when we first met.

Ah, war hero.

Are you married?

(BIRDS SCREECHING)

Was.

Deceased.

I'm sorry.

Oh.

Pacific States, huh?

Yeah.

Vacation?

Yeah. Scrap metal.

Ah.

Thanks.

What's your line?

Rare American artifacts.

My partner and I, we're on an extended
buying expedition for my shop.

- Where's your shop?
- San Francisco.

- Yeah, me, too.
- Oh.

So, how's it, uh...

- how's it going?
- Well,

there are some treasures
in the Neutral Zone.

We just purchased
some exceptionally fine

estate items the other day.

Refugees from the Reich,

if you know what I mean.

Well, there's a lot of
refugees from the Reich, right?

Judaica.

You, um...

You run across a lot of that?

It's dicey.

It's verboten in the Reich, of course,

which means it's incredibly expensive.

Just the blackest of black markets.

Hmm.

What about the Pacific States?

Oh, Pons couldn't care less.

They just want real Americana.

- Right.
- Rockwell.

Norman, not... George Lincoln.

(CHUCKLES)

Did you just come from the city?

- Yeah.
- How are things?

Well, the reprisals have stopped.

Finally.

Oh, that's good to know.

Is it safe to go back?

- I'm dying to...
- For the time being.

So, where... where's your shop?

It's downtown. It's
on, um, Geary Street.

(CAR HORNS HONKING)

TAGOMI: We consider this

undeclared embargo a
deliberate and hostile act.

This is not an embargo, Trade Minister.

Let me assure you, we're
doing everything we can

to restore the normal
delivery of petroleum.

The United States
tried to do this to us.

You would do well to remember
Pearl Harbor, Mr. Cinnadella.

- Is that a threat?
- No.

Historical fact.

We are not a vassal state.

This embargo is an act of war.

Please convey this to
Oberstgruppenfuhrer Smith.

Not the ambassador?

Good day, Mr. Cinnadella.

(DOORS OPEN)

(DOORS SLIDE SHUT)

What troubles you, Kotomichi?

I worry Chief Inspector
Kido may suspect the worst.

Your connection to Miss Crain.

Her friendship with this Nazi spy.

I'm aware of the risks, Kotomichi.

Arigato.

Fraulein, stop it. You look wonderful.

Exquisite, don't you think?

Quite.

tastemaker and columnist
for the Reich Herald.

Pleasure to meet you.

I love your column.

Oh, thank you, darling.

I've been dying to meet you.

Mm, mwah. You look absolutely gorgeous.

Your necklace is exquisite. Who?

- Chanel.
- Oh, Coco's a dear friend.

Nicole, this is my
husband, Wayne Harris.

Miss Dormer, the star of the evening.

- (CHUCKLES)
- And after tonight, the talk of the town.

Let's hope so.

I'll make certain of that.

Now, at some point, I'd
like to do something bigger

than an article in my
Reich Herald column.

Something deeper.

- More personal.
- Sounds wonderful.

TURNER: We have something big
from Berlin. It's exciting.

I'll coordinate through
my office when it's ready.

THELMA: Delightful.

Let me show you around. Do you mind?

- Of course not.
- You mind if we take a stroll, love?

You two have fun.

Let me introduce you

to Manhattan's swankiest and sexiest.

How are you? You remember the Schafers.

How are you? Yes, yeah.

I love you.

Oberstgruppenfuhrer Smith.

Um, Miss Nicole Dormer.

It's an honor to meet you.

Excuse me.

Sorry, she's not feeling well.

I hope it's nothing serious.

I hear great things about
your film from Berlin.

Hopefully you like it.

Thelma.

Put this in your follow-up.

Alice Adler was murdered.

Burglary.

An arrest has been made.

An unemployed house
painter and career criminal.

Of course. Thank you.

Pardon me.

ROCKWELL: Oberstgruppenfuhrer Smith.

Reichsmarschall.

Good news from San Francisco.

Diels was the last of the
Heydrich-Heusmann Gang.

Yes, I heard. Well done.

Yes.

You should've told us you'd
located Hawthorne Abendsen.

Could've helped you bring him in.

Well, Hoover's on the hunt.

Won't be long now.

I hear your adjutant has gone missing.

What happened to him, do you think?

Did he defect, I wonder?

Erich Raeder would never do that.

I would have said the same
thing about Oliver Diels.

Well, if you need our help,

don't hesitate to ask.

Very generous.

Oh, I understand an arrest

has been made in the Alice Adler murder.

Yes, I heard. Suspect
had Dr. Adler's watch.

What a tragedy.

Such a distinguished family.

Both husband and wife... murdered.

Dr. Adler wasn't
murdered, Reichsmarschall.

He had a heart attack.

Of course.

I don't know where
these stories come from.

Smith's greatest triumph,

his son Thomas was walking to his death.

Ashamed.

After everything you said about
Hoover and not making mistakes,

you got to lay off it for a while,

How do we get past this thing,

John? I...

He is everywhere.

This glorified phony version of him.

Of... of our son.

You know, you never told
me what you thought of it.

The film.

It sickens me.

All of it.

What they're doing to us.

But we can use this.

We can use it to protect our girls.

How?

(EXHALES)

This film's a trial balloon.

They're grooming me to
become Reichsmarschall.

John, that's...

I know. I know.

This is our best chance to survive.

As a family.

Rockwell, he'll do
anything to stay in power,

protect his position. And Hoover...

I have no illusions
about... about Hoover.

No, he'll go with whoever he
thinks will come out on top.

But...

John?

They may have made a
move on Erich Raeder.

He's not sick. He's missing.

Missing? I don't, I don't
understand. W... why?

So I need you to...

just... focus on the family.

For now.

Focus on yourself.

Can you do that for me?

He knows.

He has his friends, and... I have mine.

I wondered, when I met him.

It suits us both.

Well, I'd like to be your friend.

I hope so.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Don't do something like that again.

All right, all right. What's this about?

(SCOFFS) What?

That guy you were talking to at the bar.

You asked him about
buying some Jew shit.

Oh, n... n-n-no, no!
No, I was gonna turn

the fucking leech in when I got back

- Didn't sound like it.

What do you know about Jews in the Zone?

Wait a minute, you're...

- Yeah.

Heard there's a whole nest
of 'em up in the mountains.

Well, I... I heard rumors, but...

Mm-hmm.

You heard of Saint Theresa's?

Yeah, they're customers of mine.

That's where we're going.

Why?

Hell, they're all Catholics.

I want to see more of it.

Mexico, maybe.

Sounds like you caught the gypsy fever.

I just want to make this last.

Nobody cares here, Ed.

I'm sorry, I'm not used to that.

What's it like there?

It's not so bad, really, as
long as you don't flaunt it.

It's not like the Reich.

The Pons really don't care what you do,

as long as it's in private.

I mean, it's still tough, but...

Bobby.

Please.

Do you mind giving us a moment?

No, that's all right.

I gotta flood the gulch.

It's time to go home.

But I'm not ready.

I'd like to stay a few more days.

Ah. All right.

How about another half hour?

That should give you enough
time for a proper good-bye.

What's the rush?

It's time. Reprisals are over.

We can go home.

But I'm not ready.

All right.

Things need tending to.

Your grandfather, my shop.

And, generally speaking, civilization.

There's freedom here.

The kind I've never felt before.

You don't have to worry

You're the reason he kept me close.

Yeah.

Sit down.

I went looking for you.

I thought you'd be there.

What happened? Why did you go to Berlin?

My father. He ordered me to.

Ordered to?

Who is he?

Um, Martin Heusmann.

Is your father?

Wasn't he executed?

For treason.

I was arrested alongside of him.

I've spent the last
six months in prison.

I had no idea.

I was forced to denounce my father.

Pledge my loyalty to the Reich.

Himmler let me live.

Pardoned by Himmler, himself?

How much re-education
did you have to swallow?

Enough to keep me alive.

I know what this looks like.

- Do you?
- I was in a dark fucking place, Juliana.

You have no idea what I went through.

No. I know that I watched
you walk into that room

in uniform, though.

Embodying everything
that I fucking feared.

What, you're gonna
judge me on one moment?

It's not one moment, Joe. I
put you on a boat to Mexico.

Next thing I know, you've
climbed the ranks in Berlin.

I had no choice.

You know who I am better than anyone.

- That was then.
- Oh, God. None of that's changed.

- It's just a fucking job.

It doesn't define who I am.

Juliana, you gave me hope, okay?

That is why I never gave up.

Please...

You believed in me once.

Us meeting again is not a coincidence.

Then what is it?

Trust me.

What's wrong?

I just... um...

Nothing.

I don't want you to worry

about the Pons or about the Reich.

The Pons aren't going to last.
