[Fuhrer Himmler is happy about the dinner at the Smiths' apartment]
John, thank you for this evening.
Let's get that drink next time you're in town. Safe travels.
All I see in Berlin are smiling faces, everywhere I look. But there's no one I can trust.
You'll always have my loyalty.
I don't want your loyalty, John. [sternfully] I want your devotion. [leaves]
[Juliana Crain hides in Zina Parks' bakery in the ruins of Washington DC]
My, uh, husband and I... started building this as a bomb shelter toward the end of the war. We didn't finish it in time.
Well, they dropped the bomb on a Sunday, didn't they? Knowing so many would be in church.
After the war, they took my husband. For his "impurity." I was happy to offer this to the Resistance as a hiding place. Uh... I have to lock you in, for the time being.
No, I understand. Well, please, won't you sit?
I'll, uh, I'll bring you some food in a bit. I believe that you are who you say you are. Can I... can I ask you something?
Of course.
I've seen the film. A lot of us have. [looks at journal Juliana shows her] There's Roosevelt alive with Churchill and Stalin.
I remember the day Roosevelt was assassinated.
Yeah.
But in that world, he survived.
Please, could you keep going? W-What happened next?
I have something I... could show you.
Okay.
[shows notebook] This is, uh... This is a sketch that I did from a newspaper clipping after FDR was shot at. One bullet could have changed everything. But it didn't. Not there.
W-What's this one?
That's Roosevelt. That's after he created the New Deal.
New Deal?
Yeah. Just, um, "Relief, Reform, Recovery." That was the motto, and he completely rebuilt the economy.
Ended the Depression?
He did. He also led the US to victory over Nazi Germany.
[in the wake of the US surrender and the military standing down in early 1946, Colonel Bolden visits John Smith's quarters]
I just came from the handover at West Point. Patton shook hands with Goering. It's all settled. First men to sign on will get food and good positions within the Reich. The holdouts will get nothing - or death. We report for duty tomorrow, at 0600. It's up to you. [leaves Nazi swastika armbands]
[Wyatt Price appears at Zina Parks' hideout looking for Juliana Crain, and finds her talking to Parks and some people about events in the other world]
What happened to Himmler and Goring?
And the Nazi leaders? The Allies, they could've put them up against a wall and shot them.
That's what had always been done when wars ended, but they decided to do something different. They gave them a fair trial.
Nazis don't deserve a trial.
Well, they were criminals. Once they put them on the stand, the world could see them for what they were. Their crimes were enormous, but these were small, weak men. They, um, they made excuses. They claimed they didn't know, that they were helpless to stop it.
Tell them what happened to Hitler.
He hid out in a bunker and then shot himself in the head.
It seems impossible. [chuckles] Like a dream.
If they can be beaten in that world, they can be beaten in this one.
[in the real-life 1964, Reichsmarschall John Smith and the Thomas Smith of that timeline eat at a diner in Bailey's Crossroads and have just witnessed a black man and woman being hauled out because the manager wouldn't serve them]
Let's go.
What?
I don't know. I'm just surprised, I guess.
I would have thought you'd have done something.
Well, what would I do?
Said something. Done something.
We're not the law. Come on, it's not up to us.
Just seems so wrong. They passed a law that gives the right to these people to eat at the counter.
And this still happens? So, this is the system you want to lay down your life to defend, huh? [referring to Thomas' decision to join the Marines]
This is the system that you fought for.
And I came back a hero. Is that what you think?
[scornfully] That's what I thought you were.
Is that what you want to be? You want to be a hero? You want to have your face painted on a mural? Maybe have a school named after you? You'd still be dead, Thomas.
How can you be sure?
Because I've seen it before. I know how it ends. And even if you don't die, you're gonna come back, you're not gonna be the same. It's all bullshit, Thomas. It's a fucking lie. Medals, flags, anthems. Pledges of allegiance. Freedom. I look around me, I don't see freedom. I don't see order. I just see chaos. I don't see anything worth giving my son's life for.
[shakes head at what John just said] Who are you? [storms out]
Thomas. Tho...
[In the real-life 1964, Daniel Levine excuses himself from what should have been a fun time watching football with the Smiths, but John Smith goes after him]
Danny. [sadly looks down] You know I had no choice, right?
What do you mean, John?
[teary-eyed] It's no use. It's no use. I... You're not gonna understand. I'm sorry.
[comforts him] Hey. Hey, we're brothers, right? You got nothing to [deeply embraces John] feel sorry for. [long pause] I got you. [gently breaks off embrace and leaves]
[in the real-life 1964, John Smith smokes outside the Smith home when a Marine recruiters' van stops in front and out comes two Marines in dress blues]
Gentlemen. I'm sorry to say there's been a misunderstanding here. Um, my son Thomas, he's, uh, reconsidered his decision.
Don't worry, Mr. Smith. We'll take good care of your boy.
No, you won't.
Excuse me?
You think I don't know how this ends?
I understand, Mr. Smith. It's only natural to be concerned about your son.
Yes, it is.
I'm sorry, sir. He's 18. He signed the papers.
[as Thomas and Helen step out the door behind him] I won't let you take him.
Dad, it's done. I'm going.
I won't let you.
[embraces Thomas] My boy. I love you.
Bye.
Thomas. Is there anything that I could've said yesterday that would have made you change your mind?
It doesn't matter now. [puts hand on John's shoulder] Be proud of me.
But I've always been proud of you, Thomas.
Goodbye. [walks off with the Marines]
[When Childan reemerges at his store and explains to his assistant, Yukiko, why he should talk to the Kempeitai about not being part of the BCR's Presidio raid, she's not too keen]
Your optimism is so American.
What do you mean?
When I was 14, a man came to our village to collect the young girls. He told us we'd be nurses in the city and work with the war effort. I was excited. I wanted to go, but my father knew what he meant. They made the girls bainshunfu.
Prostitutes.
My father took me to the local authority. Sergeant Tanaka - a man he trusted. Tanaka scared off the man from the city, and I felt safe. And I'm working in the field, and Tanaka came. He took me in the field. My face in the dirt. I told my father what Tanaka had done to me. My father demanded my honor be restored.
Your father killed him?
No, Robert. He made me marry him. My father shook Tanaka's hand at the wedding, and I was married with the man for 12 years. The day Tanaka died was the day I was born. Never be ashamed of eating mice. We're survivors. We will outlive these men. All their honor, all their ribbons and medals are there to disguise who they really are, but their crimes are always revealed.
[Having just arrested General Yamori and killed Captain Iijima over the assassination of Nobusuke Tagomi, Kido visits the Japanese Crown Princess]
This file holds the evidence that Captain Iijima was the man who shot Trade Minister Tagomi. Iijima was working under the orders of General Yamori.
I am shocked, but I am not surprised. This occupation has turned our people against themselves. I understand your son served in Manchuria.
Yes, Your Highness.
I hope for a day we no longer need to send our sons to war. I will see that this information is delivered to the Emperor himself. There will be consequences. Chief Inspector, I know where your political sympathies lie.
My loyalties will always lie with the Emperor.
This must not have been easy.
It was my duty. Nothing more.
[Bell Mallory addresses BCR members setting up their bombs for the Crimson Pipeline]
You don't have to do this. You can leave right now. Door's wide open. You will not be judged. [to young girl] Set the timer for 25 minutes. Enough time for you to get clear without anyone finding the parcel. [girls hum accordingly] Some of you will be captured. I know you know what that means. Most we can promise is to fight every day for your release. [to man preparing shoeboxes] That's some beautiful shoes you just cobbled together. Your families will be cared for. We don't forget what our soldiers have given to the struggle. We do this because we want the life our people have never had before.
[Helen Smith appears as a guest on the cooking show Hausfrau with Gabriela - indirectly on Margerete Himmler's suggestion]
Now, you have been married to Reichsmarschall John Smith for -
Twenty years. And how the time has flown.
So, what is your secret to a happy marriage? How do you manage to keep the fire burning?
I can answer that in one word. A word that we can use on Reich TV?
I think we can use it.
Yes. Honesty. That, to me, is the foundation of a successful marriage.
Helen, think back to your first Reichsgiving, the first moment you first gave thanks for National Socialism.
Um, hmm... Oh, um, it would be February, '46, just after The Liberation. John was still in the [clears throat] John was in the US Army. Um, we had been posted to Fort Monmouth, and we had just had our son. Thomas was, um, he was just a baby.
It's all right. Take a moment.
No, no, I - I'd like to talk about it. We hadn't eaten in days. I thought that my baby was going to starve in my arms. A man, a Reich colonel, he came to our door. He brought us milk, bread, cheese, meat. It was all airlifted in by the Reich in an act of mercy. And my baby he finally stopped crying.
From that day forward, thanks to that spirit of mercy, there has never again been hunger in the Reich. [audience applauds] And who else was there that night?
Um, it It was Uh, well well, it was just just us, our family.
As it should be?
John, myself and Thomas, and... We put the past behind us.
Thanks, Helen. We would love to have you back on the show again, any time.
Yes, yes. I- I would like that.
[in the wake of the Crimson Pipeline bombings, Chief Inspector Kido dons headphones but eventually puts them down to set the radio on full blast]
DJ Evangeline coming to you live from Resistance Radio with breaking news from the JPS.
I speak for the Oakland Battalion of the Black Communist Rebellion. We claim responsibility for today's attacks on the vital services, command-and-control, and oil infrastructure of the Japanese occupiers. We seek an autonomous territory for black people on the West Coast. And we will never quit. And the Empire's oil will not flow until we get our homeland. All power to the people.
All power to the people, indeed, Sister. There you have it, direct from the BCR.
[Kido is forced to get the Crown Princess out of San Francisco]
[stops and security detail deploys in a wheel around her] Before I go, I must ask you to be truthful with me one more time. When I've made my report to the Emperor, he will ask me one question. And the answer I give... will depend on what you report.
I understand, Your Highness.
Can we hold this territory?
I believe that in time with enough firepower and troops, we can finish these Negro rebels. But the price will be paid with the blood and souls of the sons of Japan. I once felt that any price was worth paying. We can prevail, Crown Princess... but I no longer believe we should.
I realize what you've just said goes against your every instinct. For that, you have my respect, Tai-sa. Rest assured, I will bring your message to the Emperor. [Kido bows and the team ushers her to her limo]
[Emperor Hirohito makes an address]
[in Japanese with English translator voiceover] To our good and loyal subjects, after pondering the general trends of the world, and conditions obtaining in our Empire today, I am effecting a settlement of the present situation by resorting to an extraordinary measure. We declared war on America to ensure Japan's self-preservation, it being far from our thought to infringe on the sovereignty of other nations or to embark upon territorial aggrandizement. Our North American Occupation has lasted for nearly 20 years. Despite the best that has been done by everyone, the gallant efforts of our military and naval forces, continuing occupation has developed not necessarily to Japan's advantage. Should we continue to devote our precious resources to occupying the Japanese Pacific States, it would threaten the protection of the Japanese homeland. This is the reason I have ordered the strategic withdrawal of our occupying forces from the JPS. I am keenly aware of the inmost feelings of all of you, my subjects. However, I have resolved to redeploy our awesome might and manpower from our North American territories to the front lines of the escalating Asian conflict. Let our entire nation continue as one family, ever firm in its faith of the imperishableness of our Imperial State.
[Chief Inspector Kido has a toast with the surviving Kempeitai staff who will join the Japanese evacuation]
I look around at all your young faces. Well, some not so young anymore. So many young men have come through this department. Not all of them will be going home to Japan today. [pauses, removing his glasses] I was a hard boss. I know. I demanded everything of my men. I rarely gave praise. There were young men who died at my command trying to please me. And even as they died in my arms, I offered no kind word. So, I will say it now. You make me proud. Each one of you. [offers toast and bows] Okuro! [they all drink and Kido dons his glasses] Now... go to the docks and sail back home. Your families miss you terribly. Do not keep them waiting.
