But right after the bombing, Tagomi gives him the footage of the alt-reality bombing. Kido has spent most of this season trying to avoid what seems to be an unavoidable war. KidoĪs previously written, Kido is found alive after the Resistance bombs his building. Or makes them stop long enough for John Smith to arrive on the scene. But Tagomi’s footage makes them think otherwise. Believing that the Japanese have poisoned Hitler, Germany is ready for war. He carries footage of a bomb back with him, and uses it as evidence that Japanese are as formidable as the Germans. He returns to his reality, having made peace with his family. He finds in his travels that a bombing was inevitable, but war is avoidable. Tagomi spent part of last season attempting to avoid nuclear war. Tagomi’s alt-reality of 1962 consists of the rise of the Cuban Missile Crisis and the knowledge of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. We’ll have to wait until next season to see. There’s no image of Frank or Sara, so my assumption is that they are not in fact dead. Frank shoots Kido, knocking him aside just as the bomb goes off. All is going according to plan until Kido recognizes Frank. Together, they manage to infiltrate the building, park the car and make it inside. Sara goes too, knowing she will die, but knowing she will die for her cause. He thinks he’s going to die anyway, so it might as well be here. The Resistance decides to use a car bomb to blow up the main Japanese headquarters and Frank decides that he will be the martyr. The last we see of that duo, they’re heading to the Neutral Zone. Or at the least, he convinces Frank to evacuate Ed and Childan. Juliana, still convinced of the bombing of San Francisco, convinces Arnold to leave, who in turn convinced Frank. He offers Ed a partnership between the three of them.īut Ed doesn’t even get a chance to discuss it with Frank. Childan also sees potential in Ed as a salesman. Turns out the Yakuza have been selling secrets to the Germans and Chief Inspector Kido calls for their execution. Lucky for him that when Childan and Ed go to make their first trade, the Kempetai step in. Frank Frinkįrank, knowing that he will probably die at the hands of a Nazi, thanks to one of the Man’s films, is determined to live out his life resisting as much as possible. Turns out Trudy is alive and well, and has been waiting for Juliana. She would be the one to kill George the false Nazi and she would in turn stop a potential nuclear war. Abendson meets her and tells her that he always knew she would be the one to do it. In the end, Juliana makes her way back to the Neutral Zone. But she shoots George Dixon in order to get back evidence of Thomas’ disease. Or maybe she just wanted to protect an innocent young boy. George Dixon was left off that memo, so he’s shocked when Juliana claims that killing her was part of the plan. Too bad she’s literally an Aikido expert. When the Reich Resistance finds out that she’s been keeping Thomas’ illness a secret from them, they attempt to kill her. For a character meant to believe in people, she’s trusts the wrong people again and again. Juliana can’t seem to make friends anywhere. Juliana, believing that her duty is done, is desperate to escape the Reich. For this, he is killed on camera by a Nazi soldier. In a Resistance formed plan, he announces on TV that the public has been lied to, and that Hitler is in fact dead. When she realizes that Hitler is dead, she uses that trust to gain access to a high ranking American Nazi, Lucy’s husband. She makes friends with the Smiths, she learns Thomas’ secret, and she gains the trust of the socialites of the Reich. Juliana is, in fact, the lynchpin to everything. All of the characters seem to be making moves off a few moments of film from the Man, and they all inadvertently set into motion history, as this world knows it.īefore we continue, let me reveal that a major event of the second half of this season is the assassination of Adolf Hitler through poison, and the rise of Joe’s father, Martin Heausmann as the interim Chancellor. Despite this season being rather fractured in its storytelling (so many plot lines, so little time), the last two episodes finally bring everything together in a satisfying finale.
