![]() Later, Wegener gives Heydrich a list of ten lives to protect in exchange for his own, and Heydrich reveals his end game: Wegener will assassinate Hitler. In many ways, Wegener shares a fate with Frank and Joe - men caught up in things greater than them. Wegener’s life is over, but Heydrich will spare his wife and children if he follows his exact orders. Apparently, the Führer sees merit in Wegener, and Heydrich uses that to his advantage. He’s as deep in this as anybody now.Ĭolonel Wegener (Carsten Norgaard) dines with the remarkably creepy Heydrich, who is aware of his treasonous attempt to pass weapon designs to the Japanese. He says, “Let him die.” Who can blame him? If they pay the Yakuza and Frank is arrested, what would that accomplish? Juliana convinces Frank that Joe saved her life, so they have to try. When Juliana asks him for money to save Joe, Frank is understandably furious. He’s the second disabled character in this episode, which is especially interesting given how crippled people are cruelly executed in this world. ![]() Kido has been a bit misguided all season, but is this really his best plan of action? He wants to go to war with the Yakuza?Įd McCarthy (DJ Qualls) finds Juliana and brings her to Frank, who’s hiding in the apartment Ed shares with his wheelchair-bound grandfather. Kido (Joel de la Fuente) goes to Tagomi (Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa) with an order: he needs information about the drugs smuggled by the Yakuza through San Francisco’s ports. Smith needs men he can trust now, especially as he deals with his son’s illness and Joe’s potential betrayal. He thinks Heydrich (Ray Proscia) ordered the ambush, but why would he want to kill Smith? Smith has a note for Erich that can only go to the Führer. Erich is crippled, a victim of the Resistance ambush that Smith survived in episode two. ![]() John Smith (Rufus Sewell) visits his colleague Erich at the Reich Rehabilitation Hospital in New York. Imagine that: A would-be assassin scams a wealthy Japanese couple, then is asked to rescue a Nazi. She says she’ll get it, presumably from Frank and the money he earned from his forgery. Juliana learns that the price on Joe’s head is much higher: 50,000 yen. The Resistance paid 10,000 yen to free her, but they don’t have the money to pay for Joe, who will likely be given to the authorities and executed. Joe is curious how Juliana knew about the Kempeitai ambush, but she doesn’t reveal that her stepdad works surveillance for the Japanese.Īfter she admits that she thought she might run to South America with Joe - and we wonder how that part of the world would develop under Nazi and Japanese influence - Juliana is grabbed by a burly man and taken to the head of the Yakuza. After being thrown in a dark room, Juliana reveals that she was supposed to leave town with Frank (Rupert Evans), whom we see refusing to skip town without her. When we last saw Joe (Luke Kleintank) and Juliana (Alexa Davalos), they had escaped the Yakuza club where Joe attempted to buy the Man in the High Castle’s latest film - but both were kidnapped by gangsters as the Kempeitai stormed the building. Will Frank Spotnitz and the team will stick the landing? Let’s hope the show rallies for a strong finale. "The Man in the High Castle "is Dick at his best, giving readers a harrowing vision of the world that almost was.The penultimate episode of The Man in the High Castle is choppier than the two chapters that precede it, leaving reason for concern as Amazon’s breakthrough drama wraps up its first season. And it seems as though the answers might lie with Hawthorne Abendsen, a mysterious and reclusive author whose best-selling novel describes a world in which the U.S. These seemingly disparate characters gradually realize their connections to one anotherother just as they realize that something is not quite right about their world. In this world, we meet characters like Frank Frink, a dealer of counterfeit Americana who is himself hiding his Jewish ancestry Nobusuke Tagomi, the Japanese trade minister in San Francisco, unsure of his standing within the beauracracy and of Japan's with Germany and Juliana Frink, Frank's ex-wife, who may be more important than she realizes. Dick's alternate history classic, the United States has lost World War II and subsequently been divided between the Germans in the east and the Japanese in the west.
