[Frank Frink explains his new artworks to Mark Sampson and gives him samples]
Take them back with you. I want you to put them up.
MSMark Sampson
Yeah, there's there's something you should know. Um, people are not only putting up your art. They're copying it. Young people, especially. They're they're making it their own. [shows Frank pictures of graffiti resembling his work]
All the more reason why we-
SSampson
Look, they're arresting people, Frank.
I don't want anyone to get hurt.
SSampson
Well, look, in a way, it's out of your hands. Th these sunrises, they'd they don't even belong to you anymore. But this, this is really gonna get the Pons' attention, and not in a good way.
You said people need to see - all this.
SSampson
Yeah, and and, one day, the time will be right. And when it is, I promise you that we will wallpaper these sons of bitches like nobody's business.
[a woman meets with Ed and Robert Childan about a certain artifact]
WWoman
The Duke gave me this just before he left to fight with the Rebels.
And this is the belt buckle he wore in Stagecoach?
WWoman
Mm-hmm. Stagecoach is my favorite Ford.
Yeah, I just Feels a wee bit apocryphal.
EEd
That means he doesn't believe you.
WWoman
O ye of little faith. He told me to keep it as a memento till he came back, which, of course, he never did. [shows picture]
Oh. Now, that's a horse of a different color.
WWoman
That's me, that's the Duke, and there's the buckle.
Yeah. Yeah, I can see that.
WWoman
He was killed in action at the Battle of Dayton.
EEd
Everyone knows that. I mean, John Wayne. Wu?
We'll give you five marks for this and the photo.
WWoman
That's the only picture I have of the Duke and me.
Well, buckle's not worth a pfennig without the photo.
WWoman
Well, could you see your way clear to seven? I, I got my rent to make, and and seven marks might get me through.
I'll tell you what I'll do -
EEd
15. We'll pay her 15.
WWoman
Fifteen. That's fair. Right?
[Nicole Dormer is not pleased with a shoot of workmen weakly sledgehammering a bust of Abraham Lincoln]
Cut! Okay, cut. This is the old America. You are the new America. I want to see you full of power, energy. [to cameraman] In fact, get the camera off the sticks and move it in closer. Follow them. We need to feel the kinetic potential, the vitality of the new American Nazi youth. Okay, boys, what you're doing here is important work. You're erasing the past, replacing it with a better world, a world that is entirely yours. We ready? Okay, back to the start, please. Ready. And action! [the workmen start smashing the marble with more strength; instructing cameraman] Now get down low, underneath them, as they work. Shoot up. Make him look heroic.
[Kido visits Tagomi]
TMTrade Minister Nobusuke Tagomi
Howard Wexler. Who is he?
A defector from the Reich.
Only much more valuable. A researcher. I believe it was the same assassin in both cases. Wexler was working with your ministry.
On a project I cannot discuss.
The Nazis are doing their best to sabotage us. And they are succeeding. These street protests-
The street protests are under control. The agitators are suffering for oil. Kerosene. Gasoline. Heating oil. What are you doing about it, Trade Minister?
Again, nothing I will discuss with you, Chief Inspector.
[Helen Smith resumes her counselling sessions with Dr Ryan after John Smith arranges it for her]
RDr. Ryan
Why don't we start with something easy? You know, a memory. Could be anything.
RRyan
Well, anything to do with Thomas. Why don't you sit back, shut your eyes if that helps, and, uh, go back to a moment.
SSmith
Needn't be anything big.
RRyan
Could be something nice and simple.
SSmith
Uh, they they heard me scream and wail when Thomas was walking to that van. I wept, I pleaded, and all of my neighbors housewives and my friends they heard me beg him to stop. Stop and go back in the house. Don't do this. I'm so so ashamed.
RRyan
But any mother would've wept and pleaded. Don't you think?
SSmith
My son was a hero, I was a weakling.
RRyan
No. No, no. It takes strength to grieve openly.
RRyan
It's the weak who conceal their feelings behind a tough façade. Now, just by me saying this, you won't magically let go of your shame. But, if it makes it any easier, there is nothing more important to the Aryan state than a powerful mother who brings the full force of her emotions and convictions to daily life in the Reich.
[Helen Smith fumes at John over ARBI Director J Edgar Hoover suddenly visiting the Smiths' apartment investigating her over Alice Adler's death]
OJOberstgruppenfuhrer John Smith
Trust me, Helen,
Trust you, John? The last time -
We're not relying on Hoover's help.
Because he came bursting in here with two of his men. Who's to stop him from coming back and arresting me?
[John Smith is summoned to meet with Reichsmarschall George Lincoln Rockwell, with Heinrich Himmler and ARBI Director J Edgar Hoover by his side. Smith is curious why he is there]
Let's start with Dr. Adler, whom you eulogized following his sudden demise from a heart attack. A man who'd just gotten a clean bill of health from his own cardiologist. So what caused Adler's fatal coronary?
OJOberstgruppenfuehrer John Smith
Undetected coronary blockage, I'd assume. You- you tell me, George.
I can't tell you, because Gerry Adler was cremated before a proper postmortem could be performed, per Alice Adler's pleas to anyone who'd listen. And then Alice went suddenly silent, too. She died in a botched burglary, according to the police. But now, [glances at Hoover] ARBI agents have come up with a fascinating conclusion: the burglar - if indeed it was a burglar - who murdered Mrs. Adler was another woman. Meantime, evidence has come to light of Smith's scheme to sneak his ailing son out of the country, and then stage a kidnap plot to spirit Thomas to an Argentinian safe haven. [staring down Smith] It's treason to cover up your son's illness, and treason to use your office to spirit away your sick son. Not to mention assassinating a high-ranking Nazi official, Dr. Adler, and his wife.
Do you have evidence to back up these accusations?
Mein Fuehrer, we have the motive, the means and the proof.
JEJ Edgar Hoover
I'm sorry, Reichsmarschall, but I'm afraid you're confused.
[nonplussed] Confused. How?
HHoover
The charges you've leveled against Oberstgrueppenfuehrer Smith are unfounded. They're mere conjecture.
[glares at Hoover] Why the fuck would you say that? [goes and opens a briefcase he left on a nearby table; only a few crumpled papers are left inside] I don't understand. You showed me all those cables from Buenos Aires. [to Smith] Helen Smith's button, stained with Alice Adler's blood. [slams briefcase on table] Edgar. Where is it all?
Am I to understand there is no evidence to support these claims of treason?
HHoover
I have no evidence whatsoever, Mein Fuehrer.
It is, in fact, treason, to falsely accuse a senior Party member of such crimes!
[In German, to guards] Get him out of here!
[shouting furiously in German] Go away! Out of my sight! Out of this country! Immediately!
[as he's manhandled out of the room] Edgar, you set me up. A put-up job?! I will fucking crush you!
[Juliana Crain talks to Joe Blake about what she saw in his belongings, without implying she was perusing them at all]
Listen, Juliana, to resist is to invite the kind of pain that I went through. And trust me you do not want that.
And what is it that you think I want?
You want to join me. For a world full of perfection and happiness.
Just wake up! This is the world we live in. One that can be perfected, but not by your idea of goodness. Make peace with that, and there's a way out of this.
But what does it mean Die Nebenwelt?
It means "the next world," a parallel world. And when we reach it, and the world after that, and the world after that, the Reich will be everywhere. It dwarfs my father's greatest dreams. Now get dressed.
Or what? Hmm? You know, I've watched you kill me so many times. You know what happens next? You take that gun and you put it under your chin, and you blow your own fucking brain -
You're gonna take me to Tagomi. And then you're gonna take me to High Castle.
[Kido talks to Tagomi about documents Juliana Crain stole from Joe Blake that were delivered to the office]
You were working with the scientist Wexler, were you not?
Yes, a sensitive project. Synthetic oil.
These documents are highly-classified Kempeitai files. Where did you get them?
They were brought to me. Is it possible they were in the possession of the Nazi spy at the time of his death?
Possibly, yes. Whoever killed him appears to have prevented an attempt on your life. Tell me, Trade Minister, why would the Nazis want you dead?
So, any number of reasons.
Let me ask you something, Chief Inspector. What are you going to do about the traitor in your midst?
[Ed catches up with Frank Frink at St Theresa's and they talk about Frank's art]
I just wanted to redeem myself. Anyway, seemed like helping the Resistance was the only way to make any sense out of what was left of my life. It was a mistake.
EMEd McCarthy
And you you tried to tell me.
Ed, I killed people. I killed people directly. And I got them killed after, too.
MMcCarthy
You know, the Japs' reprisals were, uh, were terrible. You can't blame yourself for that.
[In New York, Himmler has just sworn in John Smith as the new Reichsmarschall for Nazi America]
Today marks the beginning of Jahr Null, Year Zero. This will become the beating heart of the Greater Nazi Reich... We will do away with the old. Today, history ends and the future begins!!
[Having just killed Sgt Nakamura, Kido follows up with Tagomi over the Kempeitai files... over a late-night drink]
Would you like a drink, Trade Minister? [Tagomi sits down] If you want my cooperation, you must provide me with some answers. It is time for the truth.
What is it you wish to know?
Trudy Walker. The woman I killed is the same woman I arrested months later. They are not different people, as you suggested, they are the same.
They are, indeed, different individuals.
They are not. They have the same physical characteristics, even the same fingerprints.
But one is from this world.
The other is not of this world. They are different people, separate lives. Separate histories. Different memories.
I am a traveler. I have visited another world akin to ours, but but different.
You visited another world?
Where I got the film of the Bikini Atoll atomic bomb test. The one that dissuaded the Nazis from attacking us. In that world, the Allies won the war. It was their bomb, the Americans, not ours. We deceived them into thinking we had the bomb.
Dr. Hamahashi has confirmed. The Nazis are building a machine to invade and conquer those parallel worlds. Miss Crain is trying to stop them. I told you she's on our side.
[Some Kempeitai agents visit Robert Childan after he's interrogated over breaking into his own shop]
KKempeitai Agent
You are Childan Robert?
[bows] Uh, a-actually, it's Robert Childan. Ne- never mind. What can I do for you, most honored Sir?
KKempeitai Agent
Chief Inspector Kido has removed the people who have been illegally occupying your shop.
KKempeitai Agent
I am instructed to inform you that it is yours to do with as you please once again.
Uh, I-I don't understand.
KKempeitai Agent
Chief Inspector Kido rewards you for your service to the Japanese National State.
My s-service to... Yes, of course. [bows] Arigato gozaimashita. [agents leave]
[Smith visits Dr Ryan]
So what'd you have to tell me, Doctor?
RDr Ryan
Well, it's a bit delicate, I'm afraid. Uh Forgive me, sir, but, uh I feel it's my duty to tell you that, uh, your wife has been articulating opinions, uh incompatible with Reich orthodoxy.
RRyan
Well, this morning, she expressed a desire, a desire to rethink the Reich's eugenics policies. Uh, I think she feels that because of your position, you might have some influence in the matter.
Has she expressed these thoughts to anyone else that you know of?
RRyan
Not that I'm aware of, sir. No. She also spoke today of, uh, having acted impulsively.
RRyan
I-I didn't probe. I thought it best to alert you.
Thank you. Was there something else?
RRyan
I don't know if you're aware, sir. There, there's a phenomenon that occurs in psychotherapy. It's called, uh, "transference. " Uh, a patient develops feelings of affection, or attraction for the analyst. It's very common really.
And has my wife expressed such feelings to you, Doctor?
RRyan
Today your wife was, uh physically demonstrative in a way that perhaps -
It's okay. You can tell me.
RRyan
She kissed me, sir. She, uh, gave me a good-bye kiss. It was just a kiss on the cheek, but under the circumstances...
RRyan
Given everything else, I really do think it best that I, uh I terminate treatment and resign as her analyst. [presents Smith his file on Helen]
You did very well to tell me. [leaves]
[Fuhrer Himmler is fuming after the Japanese dispose of the Lebensborn agent he sent to kill Nobusuke Tagomi - outside the GNR embassy in San Francisco]
To dump his body in the street like that? Savages!
There's, um, There's also been a communiqué, sir, demanding that we end the oil embargo, honor our trade agreements, or face military action.
They won't risk a war. We will crush them.
They do have the bomb, sir. I know Europe is secure, but the risk to the American Reich is real.
They're bluffing. Send them a message.
Tell them we reject their demands categorically.
