[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.
[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]
