The Man in the High Castle (2015–…): Season 4, Episode 3 - The Box - full transcript
Wyatt's rebels and the BCR join forces to attack Tokyo's elite at Childan's auction; Helen comes back to the Reich to protect her children; Kido gets an unexpected call from the Yakuza; Smith sends an assassin to kill Juliana.
For some reason, I keep thinking
about your wedding.
You in Mom's dress.
John in his uniform.
Back then, I thought
the world of him.
The world changed.
Hey.
What's going on?
Nothing.
Okay.
Just hold on a second, okay?
Someone calls me up
asking me to borrow a gun...
I got to ask a couple questions.
Okay.
What happened, Julia?
Nothing happened.
Nothing happened.
Look, uh...
I don't want
to get into your business.
- I appreciate that.
- But this is a small town.
The sheriff and I
go hunting together.
Not long after
you showed up shot,
he told me he looked into you.
And yeah, there was
a Juliana Crain
from San Francisco, but...
she died in that car crash
right alongside her parents.
I don't know your story
and I don't need to know.
I like you, mysteries and all.
And I want to help, but...
you got to tell me
what you're up against.
Nazis from another universe.
Well, one pistol's
not gonna do it.
I'm afraid not.
Listen, I'm sorry I called you,
I, um... I'll figure it out.
I'm sure there's a pawn shop
where I can find one.
Whoa.
Those pawn shop guns
are apt to blow up in your hand.
Not unless the barrel's plugged.
Careful; it's loaded.
Thank you.
Looks like you know
how it works.
I do, yeah.
Just promise me you'll call
if there's every any...
real trouble.
Thank you.
Mingus Jones had an alibi.
Dead men do not have alibis.
According to his travel records,
he was not in San Francisco
the night
of the Tagomi assassination.
These kokujinradicals
know how to forge documents.
Chief Inspector,
you already have your killer.
With respect,
I do not think we do.
Close the case now.
I know I have no reason
to doubt your commitment.
You have my absolute loyalty,
General.
Pablo, give us
the exits again.
Front door, back door,
three side doors.
Seven windows
in the first floor.
- Kent, stations?
- Station one.
Back wall of the main room
during the auction.
Two, firearms in the basement.
Three, position for flanking maneuver
on interior guards.
Four, Elijah and his team
cover us during retreat.
Good.
Till then, we are humble servers.
Right? Respectful, low profile.
And any of you fuckers
forget to bow,
I'll kick your teeth in.
Ah, this is a tough one.
Four targets, dozen guards,
surrounded by
a hundred civilians.
Listen. I got a box.
For any operation like this,
I open it up.
Everything that happens inside
this mansion tonight,
it all goes in the fucking box.
You understand?
And when it's over...
I close the box.
And I don't open it again
until the next time.
What happens when the box
is all full up?
Hey,
everybody pass up their papers.
Ikuzo.
Hello, soldier.
I would do
anything for a war hero.
Mom's home!
Oh!
Oh!
My goodness.
Oh, I missed you, too.
Mm.
Hi.
Hi, Jennifer.
Hello, Mrs. Smith.
- Welcome back.
- Thank you, Bridget.
Mom, the Fuhrer's coming
for dinner tomorrow night.
- At our house.
- Is he?
Amy, um...
uh, your mother and I
would like a moment.
Come on, girls.
- Let me help you.
- I'm fine.
So, you must be exhausted.
Listen, uh...
thought maybe I'd take
the girls to a movie tonight.
Give you some time alone.
Himmler's coming tomorrow?
I've hired caterers;
you don't need to be here.
Will Margarete be here?
I believe so, yes.
Well, then, I'd like to be here.
She and I have always
gotten along well.
We'll talk later.
I'm gonna get changed.
Just a minute, John.
Mom?
Hey.
- Come on in, it's...
- Why'd you come back?
I had to.
- No, you didn't. You were free.
- No, I-I had to be here
- for you and Amy.
- I didn't ask you to do that.
You didn't have to.
My baby.
One day, when you have
kids of your own,
I hope that you understand
the choices I've made.
"Kids of my own"?
I know.
I hated when my mom
used to say that to me.
But now I hear myself say it
to you and I hear her voice,
and I miss her.
I don't want to stay here.
- Jennifer...
- I could go live with Uncle Hank on my own.
- We've been out there before, we know where it is..
- Stop it, stop it.
You can't talk like that
anymore, not even in this house.
Why not?
Who's listening?
Someday, I'm going
to get out of here.
I'm gonna live my own life.
Someday, I'll help you.
"Wei Chi."
"Fire over water."
What's not complete?
Juliana?
Thomas.
Just a-just a second.
Hi.
Your lesson.
It's Thursday, isn't it?
- Guess you forgot?
- I'm sorry.
- Here, come in.
- Oh, if you're busy,
- I... it's no real problem.
- No, no, no.
- Come on.
- I may not be around
for much longer, anyway.
Not gonna be around?
Where are you going?
Well, a group of us guys
have been talking about
joining the Marines.
You know, they've been
stepping up their enlistment
since the attack
in the Tonkin Gulf.
My recruiter says he can get me
into boot camp right away.
I might even see some action
in ten weeks.
Wow.
Why don't you put that down?
Come and sit with me
for a second.
You know, there's a lot
of people here
who love you and care about you.
Have you talked
to your parents about this?
Well, my dad doesn't like
to talk about the war.
Mm-hmm.
And I already know
what my mother will say.
But somebody's got to push back
against the Reds.
You know that every young man
thinks he's the one
who's gonna come back from war.
Yeah, well, my dad
came back from war.
Thomas, there are
very few things in this world
worth dying for,
even fewer worth killing for.
You do understand that?
- Yeah.
- Those things do exist.
But when there's something
truly worth fighting for,
you're gonna know it.
Trust me.
We got eyes on him
coming off the plane.
Is everybody ready?
Let's go butcher us a Butcher.
Everybody, bring it in,
gather round.
Bell?
"If we must die",
"let it not be like hogs,"
"hunted and penned
in an inglorious spot,"
"while round us bark
the mad and hungry dogs,"
"making their mock
at our accursed lot."
"If we must die...
"oh, let us nobly die,
"so that our precious blood
may not be shed in vain;
"then even the monsters we defy
"shall be constrained"
"to honor us though dead."
"What though before us
lies the open grave?"
"Like men, we'll face the
murderous, cowardly pack..."
"pressed to the wall, dying..."
"but fighting back."
- Masuda's here.
- Roger that.
- You know, I could take him out right now.
- Mm-mm.
We need all four of them.
Masuda Taishoh.
General Masuda, what an honor.
We've heard so much about
your decisive work in China.
Has Colonel Kido arrived?
Uh... not yet, no.
We expect him shortly.
Uh, please enjoy the authentic
American music and cuisine,
and, uh, feel free to examine
the auction...
- Moshi moshi.
- I have a call for you, sir.
Take a note, Officer.
I am already late for an event.
It's the yakuza boss, sir.
- Okami?
- Yes, sir.
Put him through.
This man attacked him?
No. He merely asked him
to leave.
You son responded
like a rabid dog.
After he did this,
he sat down and poured
another drink.
At first, we did not know
he was your son.
The only reason he is still
alive is the uniform he wore,
and the medal on his chest.
The Kinshi Kunsho.
I would not kill a war hero.
Okay, well, have fun
at the movies, girls.
Bridget, no later than 9:00 p.m.
- Bye.
- Behave. -Bye, Dad.
I think you and me need to have
a very frank conversation.
So do I.
I don't think you should be
at the dinner tomorrow night.
The Fuhrer will know I'm back.
- He'll wonder where I am.
- I can handle him.
I'm sure you could, but
my absence will raise questions.
The evening is too important to
leave anything to chance, Helen.
You and I both know
if it were up to you,
the evening wouldn't be
happening at all, John.
You don't have a choice.
A lot has changed for me
in the last year.
But I'm clear now.
- I know what matters.
- And what matters?
- My daughters.
- Well, they've come back
with some very
dangerous ideas, Helen.
I know, and I've spoken
with Jennifer.
I think it's gonna take
a little more than that.
And then there's us.
You tell me your feelings
have changed.
Okay.
You think you're the only one?
No.
So why pretend?
I'm not pretending.
I don't know if there's anything
left in this marriage, John,
but one thing
has always been true of us.
We don't lie to each other.
So believe me now.
I won't be coming
as your wife tomorrow night,
I will be coming as your ally.
And trust me, you will need one.
Shimura, check.
Nagasaki, check.
Shimura-sama,
Nagasaki-sama.
Shimura, sir. Nagasaki, sir.
Please let me know if there is
anything I can do for you.
Thank you very much.
Please enjoy the event.
Thank you.
Wait!
You! You.
Taste everything.
We got eight guards out front.
Three more in
the communications tent.
Another seven,
maybe eight more stationed
out back and in the house.
That's more than we thought.
Yeah, but we'll be all right.
Snipers in position.
R1 in position.
- R2 in position.
- R3 in position.
No sign of Kido.
There will be no report.
The incident will be forgotten,
but it cannot happen again.
I can't forget.
I can't forget what I've done.
What? What have you done?
What my unit did in Manchuria.
To the villagers.
It was war.
It is in the past.
I can still hear their voices.
You did those things
for your country.
You have no reason
to be ashamed.
It is not shame that I feel.
Something more than shame.
We must look forward now,
and draw our strength
from the Empire.
The Empire.
The Empire is not strong.
The Empire is losing.
Losing?
In China.
The TV says we are winning
there, but it is a lie.
- Enough.
- We believe what we're told.
We don't ask questions.
I was not a soldier.
You are not a detective.
We are both puppets.
I will not be spoken to
this way.
We are bound to our duty.
Duty?
And what of your duty
to your family?
You left us.
No! No!
Get out of this house.
Stand up.
You are not my son.
And now for our first item
of the evening...
this white ten-gallon hat
worn by Gene Autry
in the film Melody Ranch.
Miss Uedo will start the bidding
at 20,000 yen.
- Sold!
- Congratulations, Takaki-sama.
Excuse me.
Got the signal.
Kido still isn't here.
Forget him. We're going in now.
CHILDAN; This is an authentic headdress
owned and worn
by American Horse...
The fierce
and noble Indian,
famous for his role
in the Great Sioux War of 1876.
One can imagine him
wearing this stunning item
while charging
across the Black Hills
of South Dakota.
Truly a treasure
to value for decades to come.
Miss Uedo will start the bidding
at 20,000 yen.
20,000. Thank you very much.
Will anyone bid 20,000?
Mr. Yamaguchi,
thank you very much.
Will anyone pay 30,000?
Mr. Miyagawa,
thank you very much.
Do we have 40,000?
Mr. Yamaguchi,
thank you very much.
Chief Inspector.
I have the incident report
you requested.
The dead body
behind the Bamboo Palace.
I also brought the transcript
of a interview we conducted
this afternoon
with the gaijin informant.
We have reached 60,000 yen.
80,000.
General Masuda.
80,000 yen.
Thank you very much.
The gaijin informant claims
to have seen Lemuel Washington
back in San Francisco.
Perhaps...
he is connected to the BCR.
When?
Two nights ago, leaving a house
at the intersection
of Clayton and Parnassus.
He was with someone.
Caucasian male.
Same age.
Irish accent.
The caterers are Resistance.
Will anyone pay 90,000?
Emergency! Emergency!
Stop the auction!
Those gaijin caterers
are resistance!
Kempeitai vehicles
are on the way!
Those
gaijin caterers are resistance!
90,000 yen. Anyone?
We're blown.
Kempeitai know
about the caterers.
They're on their way.
Abort the mission.
Get out of the van now.
Shit.
How's Wyatt getting out?
It's too late for that.
We need to split.
- Get our people out fast.
- Shit.
Three.
Two.
One.
Sold!
Shit. We can't leave them.
Snipers, engage.
Yukiko!
It's Masuda.
Take the shot.
Take the shot!
Shit!
Bell. Bell, don't go out there,
all right? Bell!
Don't go out there!
We lost him.
- You okay?
- Yeah.
I told you to fall back.
What the hell happened?
Did y'all get the targets,
or what?
I took out the ministers.
- And Masuda?
- I got him.
- Yougot him?
- He was hit.
I finished him off.
You were our cover to get out.
- You fucking left us.
- The Kempeitai done made you.
I ain't gonna risk my men
on account of you getting burnt.
We held up our end,
you ran away.
Yeah? How the fuck they even
know who you are, O'Sullivan?
- Three of my men are dead!
- Don't you put that one me.
- This kid died trying to get out!
- That's on you!
- You fucked up. What?
- And where are my guns?
- Where are my fucking guns?
- Why would we give you guns when we had to finish
- the job for you?
- Fuck off.
- Hey, okay.
- Bell, just don't.
I'd listen to her if I were you.
She's the only one of you
with any integrity.
Integrity, huh? That's your bag?
- 'Cause I could show you integrity...
- A lot of talk from a coward.
- Don't start this right now.
- Man, take your ass
back to Dublin.
No, no, no, no. God... no...
Easy, okay, okay.
- Hey!
- Shut your mouth...
Get off me, man.
- Okay...
- Childan?
You bastard. You murderers.
Uh... wait, wait,
hold-hold on a minute.
He's seen our faces.
- Yeah, she's right.
- No gunshots, though.
Got your knife on you?
- Yeah.
- No, no, no.
Wait, wait, wait.
You don't want to do this.
And why the hell not?
Okay, wait, wait. Wait.
You want
the Japanese gone, right?
So I understand killing Masuda,
sure, he's terrifying,
but the ministers?
- Shimura and Nagasaki?
- What about them?
They-they're advocates
for withdrawal.
You're killing the wrong people.
Man, he jive-talking.
Take him out of here.
Wait. Withdrawal?
The crown princess, she... she
called them here for a summit
to explore pulling the troops
out of the JPS.
- How do you know all this?
- Palace intrigue,
court gossip,
that-that's my business.
I-I serve the ruling class.
I can get a message.
I can get a message
to the crown princess.
Just... Let me serve you.
Tagomi...
What's not complete?
Hello?
Hi, John, it's Juliana.
Is everything okay?
Uh, yeah. I-I wondered
if you and I could meet
to continue our conversation.
Hey.
How you doing?
- You caught me just before I left town.
- Yeah?
My, uh, sales territory
is Virginia and the Carolinas.
I like to drive at night. The
roads are clear, I can think.
- Makes sense.
- Can you, uh, fill that up with the rocket fuel?
I have a long drive ahead of me.
Okay, I'm sorry that I-I took
off like that the other night.
No, it's... I-I shouldn't
have pushed it.
It was stupid of me.
After everything you and Helen
have done for me,
I think you've got
a right to ask.
It's...
it's just hard to talk about.
I know. I know.
Look, this...
man who shot me, uh,
is extremely powerful.
So what I'm trying to do, I
guess, in a way, is-is prepare.
And...
better understand
what-what I'm up against,
since I'm gonna
have to face him.
Well, listen, you don't have
to face anything alone, Juliana.
There's folks here who can help.
You know?
Well, that's why
I asked you here.
Good.
In hopes that maybe
you could help.
Well, I'll do what I can.
I've been thinking about
what you said the other night,
about wanting to be
like your father,
and the war getting in the way.
What did you mean by that?
Uh...
Do you know
what a battlefield promotion is?
Yeah, well,
that's what happened to me.
My unit was stationed
in, uh, Mindanao.
Philippines, and, uh,
my CO got, uh,
killed in action.
I didn't want the job, but, uh,
but it... turned out
I was pretty good at it.
Good with the-the power,
I guess,
like my dad was good with it.
But, uh...
we-we did things, you know?
We, uh...
We did things there that, uh,
that I-I, I wouldn't be able
to tell my wife or my son about.
You know?
And I feel like, uh,
if I'd stayed,
then that job would have...
would have grown into me.
Well, anyway, the war ended,
and I came back here.
And I just knew
I did not want a job
that made me feel
like that again.
So here I am.
How any of that can help you,
I have no idea.
Well...
This, uh, this man was
in the war, too.
Your generation.
- Uh-huh.
- Only he just kept on advancing
long after the war was over,
and I just...
I just don't know how you beat
someone with that much power.
Well, listen, Juliana.
I don't know who this man is,
but...
but that's all he is.
He's just a man.
That's all I got.
Well, that's enough.
Before I go,
um...
- Thomas.
- Mm-hmm.
You know he's-he's thinking
of enlisting,
- right?
- Yeah.
I don't know how
to get through to him.
You know those things
that you did in the Philippines
that you could never tell
your wife and son about?
Maybe it's time
you tell your son about them.
Maybe you're right.
Reichsmarschall Smith
sends his regards.
Go.
about your wedding.
You in Mom's dress.
John in his uniform.
Back then, I thought
the world of him.
The world changed.
Hey.
What's going on?
Nothing.
Okay.
Just hold on a second, okay?
Someone calls me up
asking me to borrow a gun...
I got to ask a couple questions.
Okay.
What happened, Julia?
Nothing happened.
Nothing happened.

"pressed to the wall, dying..."
"but fighting back."
- Masuda's here.
- Roger that.
- You know, I could take him out right now.
- Mm-mm.
We need all four of them.
Masuda Taishoh.
General Masuda, what an honor.
We've heard so much about
your decisive work in China.
Has Colonel Kido arrived?
Uh... not yet, no.
We expect him shortly.
Uh, please enjoy the authentic
American music and cuisine,
and, uh, feel free to examine
the auction...
- Moshi moshi.
- I have a call for you, sir.
Take a note, Officer.
I am already late for an event.
It's the yakuza boss, sir.
- Okami?
- Yes, sir.
Put him through.
This man attacked him?
No. He merely asked him
to leave.
You son responded
like a rabid dog.
After he did this,
he sat down and poured
another drink.
At first, we did not know
he was your son.
The only reason he is still
alive is the uniform he wore,
and the medal on his chest.
The Kinshi Kunsho.
I would not kill a war hero.
Okay, well, have fun
at the movies, girls.
Bridget, no later than 9:00 p.m.
- Bye.
- Behave. -Bye, Dad.
I think you and me need to have
a very frank conversation.
So do I.
I don't think you should be
at the dinner tomorrow night.
The Fuhrer will know I'm back.
- He'll wonder where I am.
- I can handle him.
I'm sure you could, but
my absence will raise questions.
The evening is too important to
leave anything to chance, Helen.
You and I both know
if it were up to you,
the evening wouldn't be
happening at all, John.
You don't have a choice.
A lot has changed for me
in the last year.
But I'm clear now.
- I know what matters.
- And what matters?
- My daughters.
- Well, they've come back
with some very
dangerous ideas, Helen.
I know, and I've spoken
with Jennifer.
I think it's gonna take
a little more than that.
And then there's us.
You tell me your feelings
have changed.
Okay.
You think you're the only one?
No.
So why pretend?
I'm not pretending.
I don't know if there's anything
left in this marriage, John,
but one thing
has always been true of us.
We don't lie to each other.
So believe me now.
I won't be coming
as your wife tomorrow night,
I will be coming as your ally.
And trust me, you will need one.
Shimura, check.
Nagasaki, check.
Shimura-sama,
Nagasaki-sama.
Shimura, sir. Nagasaki, sir.
Please let me know if there is
anything I can do for you.
Thank you very much.
Please enjoy the event.
Thank you.
Wait!
You! You.
Taste everything.
We got eight guards out front.
Three more in
the communications tent.
Another seven,
maybe eight more stationed
out back and in the house.
That's more than we thought.
Yeah, but we'll be all right.
Snipers in position.
R1 in position.
- R2 in position.
- R3 in position.
No sign of Kido.
There will be no report.
The incident will be forgotten,
but it cannot happen again.
I can't forget.
I can't forget what I've done.
What? What have you done?
What my unit did in Manchuria.
To the villagers.
It was war.
It is in the past.
I can still hear their voices.
You did those things
for your country.
You have no reason
to be ashamed.
It is not shame that I feel.
Something more than shame.
We must look forward now,
and draw our strength
from the Empire.
The Empire.
The Empire is not strong.
The Empire is losing.
Losing?
In China.
The TV says we are winning
there, but it is a lie.
- Enough.
- We believe what we're told.
We don't ask questions.
I was not a soldier.
You are not a detective.
We are both puppets.
I will not be spoken to
this way.
We are bound to our duty.
Duty?
And what of your duty
to your family?
You left us.
No! No!
Get out of this house.
Stand up.
You are not my son.
And now for our first item
of the evening...
this white ten-gallon hat
worn by Gene Autry
in the film Melody Ranch.
Miss Uedo will start the bidding
at 20,000 yen.
- Sold!
- Congratulations, Takaki-sama.
Excuse me.
Got the signal.
Kido still isn't here.
Forget him. We're going in now.
CHILDAN; This is an authentic headdress
owned and worn
by American Horse...
The fierce
and noble Indian,
famous for his role
in the Great Sioux War of 1876.
One can imagine him
wearing this stunning item
while charging
across the Black Hills
of South Dakota.
Truly a treasure
to value for decades to come.
Miss Uedo will start the bidding
at 20,000 yen.
20,000. Thank you very much.
Will anyone bid 20,000?
Mr. Yamaguchi,
thank you very much.
Will anyone pay 30,000?
Mr. Miyagawa,
thank you very much.
Do we have 40,000?
Mr. Yamaguchi,
thank you very much.
Chief Inspector.
I have the incident report
you requested.
The dead body
behind the Bamboo Palace.
I also brought the transcript
of a interview we conducted
this afternoon
with the gaijin informant.
We have reached 60,000 yen.
80,000.
General Masuda.
80,000 yen.
Thank you very much.
The gaijin informant claims
to have seen Lemuel Washington
back in San Francisco.
Perhaps...
he is connected to the BCR.
When?
Two nights ago, leaving a house
at the intersection
of Clayton and Parnassus.
He was with someone.
Caucasian male.
Same age.
Irish accent.
The caterers are Resistance.
Will anyone pay 90,000?
Emergency! Emergency!
Stop the auction!
Those gaijin caterers
are resistance!
Kempeitai vehicles
are on the way!
Those
gaijin caterers are resistance!
90,000 yen. Anyone?
We're blown.
Kempeitai know
about the caterers.
They're on their way.
Abort the mission.
Get out of the van now.
Shit.
How's Wyatt getting out?
It's too late for that.
We need to split.
- Get our people out fast.
- Shit.
Three.
Two.
One.
Sold!
Shit. We can't leave them.
Snipers, engage.
Yukiko!
It's Masuda.
Take the shot.
Take the shot!
Shit!
Bell. Bell, don't go out there,
all right? Bell!
Don't go out there!
We lost him.
- You okay?
- Yeah.
I told you to fall back.
What the hell happened?
Did y'all get the targets,
or what?
I took out the ministers.
- And Masuda?
- I got him.
- Yougot him?
- He was hit.
I finished him off.
You were our cover to get out.
- You fucking left us.
- The Kempeitai done made you.
I ain't gonna risk my men
on account of you getting burnt.
We held up our end,
you ran away.
Yeah? How the fuck they even
know who you are, O'Sullivan?
- Three of my men are dead!
- Don't you put that one me.
- This kid died trying to get out!
- That's on you!
- You fucked up. What?
- And where are my guns?
- Where are my fucking guns?
- Why would we give you guns when we had to finish
- the job for you?
- Fuck off.
- Hey, okay.
- Bell, just don't.
I'd listen to her if I were you.
She's the only one of you
with any integrity.
Integrity, huh? That's your bag?
- 'Cause I could show you integrity...
- A lot of talk from a coward.
- Don't start this right now.
- Man, take your ass
back to Dublin.
No, no, no, no. God... no...
Easy, okay, okay.
- Hey!
- Shut your mouth...
Get off me, man.
- Okay...
- Childan?
You bastard. You murderers.
Uh... wait, wait,
hold-hold on a minute.
He's seen our faces.
- Yeah, she's right.
- No gunshots, though.
Got your knife on you?
- Yeah.
- No, no, no.
Wait, wait, wait.
You don't want to do this.
And why the hell not?
Okay, wait, wait. Wait.
You want
the Japanese gone, right?
So I understand killing Masuda,
sure, he's terrifying,
but the ministers?
- Shimura and Nagasaki?
- What about them?
They-they're advocates
for withdrawal.
You're killing the wrong people.
Man, he jive-talking.
Take him out of here.
Wait. Withdrawal?
The crown princess, she... she
called them here for a summit
to explore pulling the troops
out of the JPS.
- How do you know all this?
- Palace intrigue,
court gossip,
that-that's my business.
I-I serve the ruling class.
I can get a message.
I can get a message
to the crown princess.
Just... Let me serve you.
Tagomi...
What's not complete?
Hello?
Hi, John, it's Juliana.
Is everything okay?
Uh, yeah. I-I wondered
if you and I could meet
to continue our conversation.
Hey.
How you doing?
- You caught me just before I left town.
- Yeah?
My, uh, sales territory
is Virginia and the Carolinas.
I like to drive at night. The
roads are clear, I can think.
- Makes sense.
- Can you, uh, fill that up with the rocket fuel?
I have a long drive ahead of me.
Okay, I'm sorry that I-I took
off like that the other night.
No, it's... I-I shouldn't
have pushed it.
It was stupid of me.
After everything you and Helen
have done for me,
I think you've got
a right to ask.
It's...
it's just hard to talk about.
I know. I know.
Look, this...
man who shot me, uh,
is extremely powerful.
So what I'm trying to do, I
guess, in a way, is-is prepare.
And...
better understand
what-what I'm up against,
since I'm gonna
have to face him.
Well, listen, you don't have
to face anything alone, Juliana.
There's folks here who can help.
You know?
Well, that's why
I asked you here.
Good.
In hopes that maybe
you could help.
Well, I'll do what I can.
I've been thinking about
what you said the other night,
about wanting to be
like your father,
and the war getting in the way.
What did you mean by that?
Uh...
Do you know
what a battlefield promotion is?
Yeah, well,
that's what happened to me.
My unit was stationed
in, uh, Mindanao.
Philippines, and, uh,
my CO got, uh,
killed in action.
I didn't want the job, but, uh,
but it... turned out
I was pretty good at it.
Good with the-the power,
I guess,
like my dad was good with it.
But, uh...
we-we did things, you know?
We, uh...
We did things there that, uh,
that I-I, I wouldn't be able
to tell my wife or my son about.
You know?
And I feel like, uh,
if I'd stayed,
then that job would have...
would have grown into me.
Well, anyway, the war ended,
and I came back here.
And I just knew
I did not want a job
that made me feel
like that again.
So here I am.
How any of that can help you,
I have no idea.
Well...
This, uh, this man was
in the war, too.
Your generation.
- Uh-huh.
- Only he just kept on advancing
long after the war was over,
and I just...
I just don't know how you beat
someone with that much power.
Well, listen, Juliana.
I don't know who this man is,
but...
but that's all he is.
He's just a man.
That's all I got.
Well, that's enough.
Before I go,
um...
- Thomas.
- Mm-hmm.
You know he's-he's thinking
of enlisting,
- right?
- Yeah.
I don't know how
to get through to him.
You know those things
that you did in the Philippines
that you could never tell
your wife and son about?
Maybe it's time
you tell your son about them.
Maybe you're right.
Reichsmarschall Smith
sends his regards.
Go.
