The Man in the High Castle

What's going to happen?

I don't know.

But for now, the Führer's condition

is going to be kept secret from the public.

And if things turn for the worse?

You're probably going to have to get Thomas

packed and ready as soon as possible.

Listen, you're going to have to be ready for anything.

Helen...

we've been through worse.

We'll get through this.

Stay close to the phone.

You might want to put those pieces back in the cupboard

before Nori sees.

No need to dredge up bad memories.

What bad memory?

Well,

never mind.

No. No. Please.

Tell me.

Come on. You really don't remember?

You were upset.

I know you didn't mean to scare the baby.

I did this?

Yeah.

You are different than what I remember.

You seem to have found a purpose here.

Meaning.

You are free.

Why, yes, I am.

Nori and I are very happy,

and I'm glad you're warming to that.

Was I that disapproving?

Look, that... that night,

Nori didn't actually think you'd go through with it.

But I ran after you,

and I lost you in the fog by the bridge.

I got scared.

Scared?

Scared that you jumped.

It's good to see you happy, too.

Danke, Sylvia.

This is so nice of her, I'm starting to feel guilty.

Mm. No, no, no. On the contrary.

You make her happy, Josef.

It has been so many years since...

since I had a family.

But now I finally have someone to share it with.

It's not New York, but...

yeah, I guess this place could grow on me.

Good. I'm glad.

We have a bright future.

You mean anschluss?

After that, there's no stopping us.

There's the space program.

And after we've perfected the face of the earth,

we can look onto the stars.

You know, if Nicole's friends could hear the way you talk,

they might be less critical.

So...

you like her, huh?

Nicole.

She's, uh, intelligent, ambitious,

and she's very pretty.

Glad you approve.

You don't sound so convinced.

There is, uh...

was...

someone else.

Someone in America?

She died.

Someone you loved, huh?

I'm sorry.

What was her name?

Juliana.

What was your wife's name?

My wife's name was Gerda.

I'm sorry.

To the women we lost

who made us better men.

Prosit.

Thanks.

Reichsminister Heusmann...

Whatever happens, you stay close to me.

Achtung!

What is that?

The Führer's office, I guess.

Don't worry.

And a pleasure to meet you...

Josef.

I'm your godfather.

Did you know that?

As a child of Lebensborn.

I look forward to seeing a great deal more of you

in the days to come.

Heil Hitler.

Heil Hitler.

Where's the Führer?

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.

I don't understand.

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.

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...

and naive, Josef.

I want you to go back there.

What?

Return to New York today.

It is no longer safe for you here.

Please go.

Thank you for coming.

The rumors are true, then?

I need to know if what my father is telling me is right.

Did he ask you to leave?

Yes, he did.

He's acting Chancellor now.

He's in charge.

So you agree with him.

From a political point of view or personal?

How about you just give me a straight answer for once?

Your father is a good man, but that won't save him now.

He's surrounded by jackals,

and I'm afraid they will eat him alive.

And if you stay, they will eat you, too.

Miss Mills.

Hello, John.

May I?

Why, yes, of course.

Is everything all right?

Take a seat.

I was... hoping

we'd have had this conversation by now

and that you would have initiated it.

In fact, I'm...

you know, I was prepared to just sit and wait

until you did so.

But unfortunately,

I can wait no longer.

Gosh, I'm sorry.

I don't know what it is you're referring to.

You're very good...

in this, uh... this role you play.

The bird with the broken wing.

I'm sure it works...

more often than not.

But we both know...

you're much stronger than you want people to know.

Don't we?

John, I... I don't know

what it is you think I've done.

What I know you've done

is withhold information from me,

despite the fact that I welcome you into the Reich,

into my home,

and into the life of my family.

I would never do anything to harm your family.

If you keep secrets from me,

you place my family in danger.

I know you met him, Juliana.

Hawthorn Abendsen.

The Man In the High Castle.

I couldn't have told you where to find him.

I know, or you wouldn't have made it

out of the Immigration Center.

Well, if you have his name, you...

you must have other information.

I only met him once for a matter of minutes,

and I was drugged. I don't know what else I could have given you

that you don't already have.

What did he say to you?

I didn't tell you because I was afraid

you'd turn me over to the kempeitai.

Answer the question, please.
