The Man in the High Castle

(film projector whirring, clicking)

It's done.

Thank you. I just...

It was an accident, John.

I just went there to talk to her.

I-I... I didn't mean...

She-she attacked me, and...

Oh, God, what have I done?

Nothing.

You've done nothing.

The Criminal Police are going to investigate.

She interrupted a burglar.

Suspects will be arrested.

One of them will confess.

-Then it's done. -No. 'Cause of the connection

between Thomas and Dr. Adler,

the SD are gonna take an interest.

-Do you understand? -Yes.

I need to think very clearly.

No mistakes, Helen.

Hoover's gonna be onto this,

and he's someone we have to take very seriously.

-Yes, I know. I know. -Don't do anything.

Don't talk to anyone about Alice.

-I understand. -And I'm sorry, Helen,

but you cannot continue with Dr. Ryan,

not with things as they are.

I'm so sorry.

: I'm so very, very sorry, John.

I didn't...

I mean, she was my friend.

She was my friend.

-You-you speak English? -Oi.

I'm looking for a streetcar.

Oi!

Around the corner.

Two blocks, turn left.

Thank you.

You.

Huh. Smith has sent you, hasn't he?

That vengeful bastard.

You should've stayed loyal to the Reich.

The old regime needed to go.

Heydrich and your father,

they understood that.

My father confessed his faults.

Renounced his conspiracy against the Fuhrer.

Then your father

died a traitor.

My father died a hero.

Reichsminister Goebbels called me.

He held a private screening

of my film in Berlin for the Reichsfuhrer

and a few close friends.

It went well.

Congratulations.

My uncle said that Himmler went crazy over it.

I'll make sure that everyone's aware

of Berlin's enthusiasm for your film.

Reichsfuhrer also asked me

to start thinking about a new project

that would involve you.

I'm all ears, schatzi.

Jahr null.

Year zero.

An experiment.

A reset.

A new America.

What's the angle?

Deprive people of their national consciousness.

Dilute their national pride.

Do not teach their history.

So the Reichsfuhrer

wants to erase American history.

They don't have that much of it, anyway.

When do we start?

This morning from Berlin.

Oh, by the way, you will be joining us

this evening.

The trade minister is hosting a reception.

Hatt.

Nazis.

He was that important to them?

It was a provocation.

: Halt.

I can remember.

I was in a military vehicle,

and there were SS.

There was a road sign.

Lackawanna. Coal mine number nine.

-Film doesn't show that. -No, but I remember it.

Have you been there?

-Only in my memory. -Like the memory

of my son.

And the world you never visited.

Yes.

The man in the film. His name is...

his name is Joe Blake,

and he's a friend.

Was.

Do you have feelings for him?

I do.

Did.

We lost touch. Last I heard, he was...

he was in Berlin to see his father.

He's on the guest list.

Reception tonight.

Joseph Cinnadella.

Cinnadella?

The new junior trade attaché.

A spy.

That's what he was doing for John Smith

when we met, but that is not the man I got to know.

-Do you trust him? -We helped each other.

We kept each other alive.

I should come to the reception.

Tagomi-san,

I want him to see me.

If he's still the man that I knew,

-he will help us. -Difficult. Dangerous.

-What if they find out who you are? -They won't.

And we'll be meeting for the first time.

The Ahnenerbe Institute

will remain focused on the sciences,

under my purview.

Reichsfuhrer Himmler asked that I introduce you

to some of our more immediate efforts

in advance of his visit.

The late Fuhrer's entire film archive.

At your disposal, with Himmler's compliments.

Yes, I watched some of these in Berlin.

Surprising number of them

are insignificant or counterfeit.

And many are not so easily explained.

Events, outcomes that cannot be dismissed as fake.

The late Fuhrer knew these films, in the hands

of our enemies, could be weaponized against the Reich.

One of the archival projects is to sort, catalogue and segregate

the genuine from the ersatz.

The Reichsfuhrer has entrusted this task to you.

Me? Not Rockwell?

Just you, Oberstgruppenfuhrer.

The films are part of several interrelated research projects.

Our coordinated efforts will separate truth from noise.

(phone ringing, indistinct chatter)

(beep, indistinct female voice over P.A.)

Who is she?

Fatima Hassan,

a film courier.

A courier?

Why isn't she in SS custody?

Research, Oberstgruppenfuhrer.

We believe she came here from... another world.

What we've come to regard as a "traveler."

I... I don't understand.

The Fatima Hassan from our world

had a fatal reaction

during clinical research on abnormal skin pigmentation.

Yes, I, uh...

I keep records of my research, Oberstgruppenfuhrer.

See?

So you're saying that...

what, different versions of us

exist in other worlds?

Precisely.

Across the multiverse.

She's living proof.

Same fingerprints, same individual,

who has somehow learned to traverse the astral plane.

She had this film with her when she was apprehended.

Put that aside. I should, uh...

I should probably take some of these with me.
