[Helen Smith introduces Juliana Crain/Julia Mills to her apartment]
It's cute, isn't it? You're lucky to get one of the singles. Most of the other girls have to share an apartment.
JCJuliana Crain/Julia Mills
Other girls?
SSmith
This is a dormitory for single women. Would you like tea? I made some.
MMills
Yes. Thanks. That's very kind.
MMills
How many other girls live here?
SSmith
Uh, there's space for 20 or 30, but I'm not sure how many are here now. Oh. We've thrown some things into the closet for you. There wasn't much time, so I hope they fit. And you'll find some make-up in the bathroom.
MMills
Wow. This is so much more than I could have hoped for.
SSmith
Well, it's hard work to... Once you get settled, you'll be expected to join some of the neighborhood committees and the Nazi Women's League. But first you have to pass the ACT.
SSmith
The Auxiliary Citizenship Test. That gives you the right to stay in the Reich permanently. You must be exhausted after everything you've been through.
SSmith
Why don't you come by the house tomorrow? Say, 10:00. We can have coffee and get to know each other.
SSmith
Okay. We're at 5026 Roxboro. I have left a tuna casserole in the fridge for you. But there's a grocer over on von Braun Street if you need anything else. You'll find 50 marks and some change in the desk drawer there.
MMills
You thought of everything. I don't know what to say.
SSmith
Well, that's just it. You don't have to say anything.... See, now you're some place where good people actually look out for one another. I'll see you tomorrow.
MMills
Thanks. [as Helen goes for the door] Wait. What about the key?
SSmith
Oh, there isn't one. No one locks their doors around here.
[At a party Reichsminister Heusmann is hosting, Joe Blake is not too pleased at an Abwehr officer casually talking to him about his Pacific States mission]
RMReichsminister Martin Heusmann
What happened?
One of your guests reminded me of who I am and who I'm not.
You wouldn't. But I've seen the blood that pays for this champagne. And if you think for a second that it's going to make me forget what you did to my mother... She died poor, by the way.
Josef, I'm not asking you to forget anything. I get it. It was war. You were here.
There's more to the story, son.
Is that an order, Reichsminister? Whatever it is you need to tell me to clear your conscience, I don't want to hear it.
[Thomas Smith guides Juliana Crain/Julia Mills with reviewing for the Auxiliary Citizenship Test]
The ACT is made of three parts: Reading, writing, and civics.
Okay. I got two out of three.
SSmith
Straight to civics, then. First question: From where does justice derive?
SSmith
Yes, but more specifically.
SSmith
Very good. Justice is a divine right guaranteed for all and determined by the Führer, from whom all justice derives. [tries to drink milk but is visibly shaken]
SSmith
Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine. Next question is about American exterminations before the Reich.
SSmith
Didn't they ever teach you about the Indians?
[Frank Frink brings up the Manzanar concentration camp with camp survivor Sarah Murakami]
Why didn't you tell me about it?
SMSarah Murakami
It's just a patch of dirt, really. About ten hours from here. We were relocated there by the U.S. Army. My family and thousands of other Japanese people. American citizens suddenly considered enemy aliens. My dad said, "Sara, one fine day, they'll win, and they'll open that gate." He meant the Japanese Empire. And one fine day, they did win.
MMurakami
Yeah. They won. But they looked at us, an all they could see was that we left Japan. We weren't Americans, but we weren't Japanese, either. We were...hangyakunin.
Yeah, traitors. So you hate the Americans. You hate the Pons. Who are you fighting for?
MMurakami
I don't hate anyone.
[John Smith sees Helen looking distressed]
You know I spent the whole afternoon with Alice.
Yeah, you said. She must be... devastated.
She is. She's devastated. John, I'm going to ask you a question, and I need for you to tell me the truth.
[realizes from the tone] John, what have you done?
Look at me. All you need to know is everything I do... everything... I do it for the family, to keep our children safe.
For the family? Our son is ill. I knew that there was something.
Gerry was going to report him.
But that is no reason for you to...
There's no cure. There's no cure.
[Frank Frink and Gary Connell visit a gathering in the California forest]
GCGary Connell
It's a memorial... for Karen. There are people here from the state of Washington, Baja, the Salt Lake. Come on.
MMan
As we gather tonight, we remember that the Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those that are crushed in spirit. Remember too, that we are of good courage and would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord surrounded by the loved ones who went before us. Of course, the Lord can see Karen, even though we cannot. For precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. So let us lay this saint to rest. And let us not linger, children, for the wolves will soon be upon our door.
[Lemuel Washington picks up Hawthorne Abendsen]
LWLemuel Washington
You about ready to go, Mr. A?
There's a stack inside. Would you bring it out for me, please?
WWashington
Don't want to get that nice suit all rumpled up, huh?
WWashington
[as he picks up a stash of films and puts in the truck] There's a... There's a strong smell inside.
That's the smell of leaving, Lem, the smell of moving on.
WWashington
What about the rest of them?
Nothing like a good spring cleaning. [lights match that burns down his hideout]
[Helen Smith is uneasy over Thomas being called up for a Hitler Youth trip to South America]
He's not going, John. I will not allow it. I stop breathing the moment Thomas walks out that front door, and I only start again when he is back home.
You want to let him go to South America? Helen...
He will be found out, and you know what that means.
Okay. Sit down. Helen, sit down, please. We are going to let him go. Thomas will fly to Buenos Aires, all right? And from there, he's going to travel to meet the others on his expedition, but he's not going to make the rendezvous because, somewhere in the foothills of the Andes, he's going to be kidnapped by Semites.
Now, this is going to look like, to the rest of the world, a terrorist act on a high-profile target, but Thomas, he's going to be okay. He'll be safe.
He could live for decades, Helen. This way, he's going to be comfortable. He's going to be safe. No one's going to be able to reach him.
Because I will personally spearhead the search for him and for his kidnappers. Now, you, of course, will be bereft, as will I, and publicly we'll never give up trying to bring our son home. But ultimately, Helen...we will fail. Now, if you have any questions, you have to ask me now... because, I'm afraid, once you've left this room, we must never talk about this again.
Will I ever see him again?
Maybe, one day. When and if it is safe. It's the only way, Helen.
[In the alternate 1962, its version of Noriaki Tagomi talks to Trade Minister Nobusuke Tagomi]
NTNoriaki "Nori" Tagomi
Dad, you know who puts their faith in things like Yarrow Stalks and the i Ching? It's people who don't want to take responsibility for the choices that they've made.
You're wrong. I take responsibility.
NNori
You need to let Mom move on with her life. You need to sign the papers.
That is not your business.
NNori
Mom is too polite to say it herself.
[John Smith eulogizes Dr Adler]
Orator Hanley did ask me to say a few words. [clears throat] On the subject of Gerry's professional diligence. Uh...but I decided to go another way. When I sat down to think about what I wanted to say about Gerry Adler, I realized it all came down to one thing. The family. Gerry... Gerry was a family man. And I don't just mean his intense pride in his two fine boys and his beautiful wife. Nor am I talking about the fact that, through his work as a doctor, he... He came to be a part of all of our families. No, What I mean is that a man is only ever as strong as the people around him: the community he serves and the family he is sworn to protect. Whatever strength he has, he draws from them. And for them, he must be prepared to give everything. His life for his blood... Or else... Or else everything he has done has been for nothing. He is nothing. Now, if you'll please stand and join me in singing "Der gute Kamerad."
[General Onoda visits Takeshi Kido]
GHGen. Hidehisa Onoda, IJA
I require an explanation for what transpired today.
Hai, Kakka. Taishi Okamura was a traitor. He was Yakuza. And exploiting his position to spy for the Nazis against the Empire.
You have evidence of this?
Hai. I would not have acted without it. Nor without placing your family in protective custody.
I should have been informed at the same time you made those arrangements.
I apologize, but I had to act quickly.
I fear you have been here too long, Kido-tai'i. [imitating cowboys shooting] Too many Westerns. [chuckling] We have nothing to learn from the gaijin. I admire your decisiveness, particularly in sensitive situations, as with the attempt on the life of His Highness. I will ensure the clan is aware of Okamura's treachery, but hierarchy must be respected.
So... now I know everything?
[bows] Hai, Kakka. [Onoda leaves]
[Helen Smith and Juliana Crain/Julia Mills share a toast but talk about Thomas' near-seizure at the funeral]
Thank you for your help today.
I was... glad to be a part of it. It's quite something, seeing everyone pull together like that.
SSmith
Well, like I told you, this is a place where people look out for each other. [serious tone] Julia, I don't want there to be any confusion between us. What happened at the church today with Thomas, I don't know what you think you saw, but you're new here and I wanted to make sure you understand how important it is not to jump to any conclusions... because it could be dangerous.
Helen, what I saw today was a sweet boy... who's been overexerting himself, becoming emotional at the funeral of a close family friend. No confusion.
SSmith
Let's drink to that.
[Joe Blake and Reichsminister Martin Heusmann enter Adolf Hitler's office, but Hitler is nowhere to be found]
RMReichsminister Martin Heusmann
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.
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.
[sighs] 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.
Ah, the American in you remains so optimistic... [puts hand on Blake's shoulder] and naïve, Josef. I want you to go back there.
Return to New York today. It is no longer safe for you here.
[Arnold Walker has just come to Childan's shop and asked Frank Frink to get out of San Francisco immediately and when Frink asks why...]
AWArnold Walker
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 -
WWalker
Who told you that?
You don't think I'm crazy? Who, Arnold?
WWalker
Juliana. She called me.
Ju... But how did she... Yeah. Yeah, her Nazi boyfriend.
WWalker
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...
WWalker
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?
WWalker
All right. [scoffs at being called out over his former Kempeitai job] Frank, that's fair. [walks around then faces him] 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.
[John Smith and Erich Raeder visit Reinhard Heydrich at his cell as an alarm rings]
ERErich Raeder
[as guards release Heydrich's restraints] Oberstgruppenführer, if you will please get dressed, we must evacuate you immediately.
[enters cell] Please forgive our hastiness, Oberstgruppenführer. We don't afford to take chances with your safety at a time like this. [pause] Reinhard, I don't speak for myself.
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. [Heydrich looks sad] 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, Reinhard. You won.
[sniffles but face gets smug] 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.
[shakes head] No. It is someone with a much grander vision. [stands erect and gives Nazi salute] Heil Heusmann! [laughs hard]
Thank you. [Raeder kills Heydrich]
