[Nicole Dormer calls Billy after the police raid a women's club]
Billy. Thank God. It's Nicole.
Thelma's been arrested. We were having a drink - there was a raid.
A raid? Where the hell were you?
Oh, shit. Look, I'll make some calls.
There were photographers.
Okay, I - I'll find out who.
Collect the film and, uh, send someone to pick her up.
Billy, you have to go yourself. If it comes out -
Of course. Of course. Yeah, you're right. Let me see what I can do.
[Billy Turner leads the planning of the Jahr Null kickoff ceremonies]
Jahr Null will be a live TV event broadcast across the Reich and the GNR.
THThelma Harris
Where will the Reichsfuhrer and the Reichsmarschall be?
On a VIP boat in the harbor. As close to the action as possible.
HHarris
And will Nicole Dormer be on the boat?
HHarris
And where will I be?
HHarris
Will I have an interview with her?
No, she'll be directing, but, uh, I'll make sure to get you a statement.
HHarris
Of course. I think I have this.
Okay, let's take five before the production meeting. [the other staff leave and Billy closes the door. to Thelma, coldly] Don't ever do that to me again. I had to make a lot of calls to clean up your arrest.
[a Japanese man visits Robert Childan's newly-reopened store]
Kobayashi-san, what a delightful pleasure. How may I help you today?
KMr Kobayashi
I was, uh, wondering if you still had that precious baseball. The one signed by the Murderers' Row.
Oh, sumimasen. I no longer have that item in my possession.
KMr Kobayashi
I see. Delightful pleasure to see you back. [goes to leave]
Kobayashi-san. Um, I almost forgot. Rumor has it, a great influx of Americana may be moving west from the GNR.
KMr Kobayashi
And what is causing this influx?
The Nazis are in the midst of purging American history. So, if these rumors are correct, it would be a great bonanza for my business.
KMr Kobayashi
Hmm. Interesting. If you are able to procure these old American artifacts from the Reich, I would very much like to view them.
[John Smith meets Nobusuke Tagomi at a farmhouse somewhere in the Neutral Zone]
Good evening, Reichsmarschall. Thank you for coming. Please, sit. I wish to extend my deepest condolences for the loss of your only son. I, too, have experienced the same.
Thank you. Now on the phone, you mentioned Dr. Wexler and Die Nebenwelt.
Yes. This machine is powerful. Meant to cross the thresholds between worlds.
The Reich won't be held hostage, Trade Minister. Nor will we engage in negotiations based on ill-gotten and half-baked intelligence.
I had hoped to discuss these matters alone, apart from our government. Because we have achieved peace together once before.
Last year, you presented a film in Berlin. You averted war. I provided that film for Chief Inspector Kido.
I don't know what you're talking about.
It is possible to reach other worlds without the use of technology. The different truths of those worlds are of great value. And of great personal comfort. I received the film from my son. [presents paper] This is a list of 15 German defectors still living in the Pacific States. The Empire has approved the return of them to the Reich. And please, accept this as a gesture of recommitment to our trade agreements. And in return, the Empire ask only that you honor our oil treaties. Thank you for meeting, Reichsmarschall.
I will see that the Fuhrer gets your list.
I believe our two countries have great value for each other in peace.
[Kido has successfully captured Frank Frink and brought him to a certain place in the desert]
This was once the site of an American-Japanese internment camp. Manzanar.
I was there in 1945 when the camps were liberated. I have seen those painted all over San Francisco and the Neutral Zone. I never imagined they were yours. You have been speaking to me this whole time.
I've been speaking to a lot of people. They've started to listen. It's beginning.
I know I am a part of what you did. I executed your sister. Your niece and nephew.
I did what I did out of anger. I, uh, I never wanted to survive. Never thought I'd have to face what I'd done. It changed me.
How? How have you changed?
So you are not afraid of death?
No. No, not anymore. You? Only a death without honor.
Honor. Out of weakness, I let you go. That was my mistake. [goes back to the car, as Sato presents him his samurai sword]
[as Kido changes into his Kempeitai military uniform] Sh'ma Yisrael Adonai Eloheinu Adonai Echad... [continues singing until Kido decapitates him]
[at the Poconos base, the Ahnenerbe Institute research team completes a new test of the warp gate tunnel, and Mengele recovers dogtags from the vaporized remains of the test subjects]
JMDr Josef Mengele
Three dog tags. The remains of three corpses on the conveyor not four. One, sir, the young woman.
FHFuhrer Heinrich Himmler
She got through.
MMengele
It's a limited success, mein Fuhrer.
MMengele
It's more than that, it's a breakthrough.
Ja. Now, we must accelerate the number of tests and expand their scale.
MMengele
Right. Thank you, mein Fuhrer.
I want 100% success rate. Close enough, at any rate, to begin [excited, points to the tunnel] to march troops through! [everybody applauds]
[Aboard a ship in New York harbor, Fuhrer Himmler and Reichsmarschall Smith preside over the destruction of the Statue of Liberty]
John, where is your family?
I have sent them away for a few days, mein Fuhrer. Helen was very tired.
Sends the wrong message when a Reichsmarschall appears at a public ceremony without his family. [enters deck crowded with officials and Hitler Youth/BDM members. returns Nazi salute and turns to view the Statue of Liberty with Smith] I'm particularly sad that your children are not here to witness this today. You will get your house in order. [addresses the youth] Today is for you. The generation born since the end of the war. A pure generation, free from the decrepit ideologies of the past. You are the future. You... are... the Reich. But you must be vigilant. The enemies of the Reich are everywhere. Those who would anchor you to the past must be eliminated to make room for the new. Today, we tear down the old. Here is your Fuhrer's gift to you. A new beginning! Jahr Null! [to Smith as the Ode to Joy from Beethoven's 9th Symphony is played] Reichsmarschall, give the order.
LPLuftwaffe pilot
Copy, Reichsmarschall. Clear to target. [a flight of aircraft fire missiles at the Statue of Liberty, which collapses into the harbor after a controlled explosion and amidst a fireworks display]
[elated at the collapse] At long last, her light goes out.
RARadio announcer
With the destruction of this former icon, the American Reich enters a bold new era. In downtown New York, Nazi youths are pouring into the streets to celebrate the destruction of liberty. In solidarity with their Fuhrer, they celebrate the beginning of Jahr Null.
[After the destruction of the Statue of Liberty, Himmler has a word with Nicole Dormer]
We could not have hoped for a more spectacular start to Jahr Null.
But for now, you are being recalled to Berlin.
Is Miss Riefenstahl stepping down from her post?
No. Unfortunately, your high-handed behavior, your flouting all rules and conventions... Did you really believe perversion had no price? [sees Dormer's reaction] That club was raided on my orders. [as two guards come to take her away] You are being sent back to Berlin for a course of mandatory reeducation.
And what will happen to her? [referring to Thelma Harris]
Mrs. Harris' fate is not your concern.
[feels the guards hold her] Is that really necessary?
[Himmler signals the guards to release their grip on her, and they leave]
[Smith receives a call at his apartment. It's Helen, and John is curious where they all went]
The, the girls and I we're safe.
That's, that's good. Listen, you shouldn't have run away from that nurse.
I wasn't running from a nurse.
I'm not - I'm not angry with you. I'm just - You just you scared me, that's all. Can you just come home? Please? Can you just bring the girls and come home?
I love you, John... but I was running away from you. [hangs up]
[The Crown Princess eulogizes Nobusuke Tagomi]
Peace and harmony. That is what Mr. Tagomi sought. We lost him to an act of violence at the very moment we needed him most. His spirit is Japan's spirit. True Japanese spirit. In our drive for empire-building, we have lost sight of this spirit. Violence produces more violence. This is what is happening in San Francisco. I intend to see Tagomi's work completed.
[General Yamori is not too pleased that the Crown Princess rebuffed his suggestion to return to Japan for her safety]
GYGeneral Yamori
[after the Crown Princess' entourage leaves] Someone has been whispering in her ear. Is it you?
AIAdmiral Inokuchi
Don't be absurd. Her Highness speaks for herself and with the consent of the palace.
YYamori
[In Japanese] You Navy appeasers are more dangerous than the BCR!
IInokuchi
[In Japanese] Appeasers? You don't know the battles I've fought for Japan.
YYamori
[Back in English] When you speak, I hear surrender.
IInokuchi
The Chinese are advancing in Korea and Manchuria. Our resources are spread thin. How long do you think we can hold this territory?
YYamori
[In Japanese] As long as I'm alive. [Inokuchi is speechless] Hmm. Colonel, show the admiral out.
[Equiano Hampton presides over a BCR meeting in 1961]
EHEquiano Hampton
Amen. That's a beautiful sound. Now, I see a lot of familiar faces in this room. Doctors, teachers, artists. And new faces, too. I bring good news. Two days ago, the first shipment of arms arrived from our allies in China. We gonna take this movement to the next stage. Now, I'm not gonna lie. There will be sacrifices. But for us, that price is nothing new. Most everyone in this room has someone got put on a train in the Reich, ain't never came back. For my wife, and my daughter, the train stopped at a camp in Saginaw, Michigan.
MMan
Onslow, North Carolina.
HHampton
Sorry for your loss, brother.
WWWoman with Husband
Shiloh, Pennsylvania. James and Martha Arnold.
HHampton
James and Martha. Sorry for your loss, ma'am.
WWWoman with Husband
Thank you. [guests start reciting the names of their loved ones and the concentration camps they ended up in]
[quietly and teary-eyed] Moulton, Alabama. Daddy and Mama.
EElijah
How about right here in San Francisco, California? [everybody looks at him] William Pullum. Y'all know what I'm talking about. Shot in the back by the Kempeitai nine blocks from here. And that was just last week.
HHampton
Last week?! This same chain of violence runs through our whole history in this country, from slavery to this very day. You've served your people as doctors, teachers and artists. But tonight? Tonight I'm looking for men and women to be soldiers. Who's ready to be a soldier?
[Kido talks to his son over why he still didn't appear for the job interview and the incident he caused at the Yakuza club]
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.
TTakeshi
What? What have you done?
What my unit did in Manchuria. To the villagers.
TTakeshi
It was war. It is in the past.
I can still hear their voices.
TTakeshi
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.
TTakeshi
We must look forward now, and draw our strength from the Empire.
The Empire. The Empire is not strong. The Empire is losing.
In China. The TV says we are winning there, but it is a lie.
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.
TTakeshi
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. [as the elder Kido manhandles him out of the room over what he just said] No, NO!
TTakeshi
Get out of this house. Stand up. You are not my son. [Toru leaves]
[cold opening of a Tales from the High Castle episode where a white man has just been fired by his black boss and is now tasked to train a younger black employee]
[narrating] Robert Street has just learned that the American dream is nothing more than an Aryan man's nightmare. And for Robert Street, that nightmare has only just begun. You may not know me, but you might've seen one of my films, those terrifying visions where the Allies won the war. My name is Hawthorne Abendsen, and I am the Man in the High Castle.
[Kido has lauded Captain Iijima for his work in the Tagomi assassination case, but...]
There is one matter I wanted to discuss with you in private. Outside the office.
CICapt Iijima
Of course, sir.
Per General Yamori's orders, the Tagomi murder case is now closed. The assassin found, the weapon retrieved, conclusive evidence... and yet, something unfortunate has come to light. We found a partial print on the clip inside the pistol. It is yours. [laughs as Capt Iijima feels uneasy] Do not worry, Captain. I have spoken with General Yamori. He has told me everything. I have redacted the incriminating evidence. I only mention this so that next time, you will be more careful in covering your tracks.
IIijima
Thank you for the correction, Chief Inspector. Next time - I promise to be more vigilant.
[Iijima leaves, but Kido rechecks the case file and it is revealed that the weapon has no prints]
