Reluctantly, she agrees, but is sickened when, during the journey, he unfolds a plan to kidnap the alternative Thomas and bring him back to their dimension. Eager to tell Helen about his trip through the portal, during which he met the alternative, very-much-alive incarnation of their dead son Thomas, Smith insists that his wife join him on the bullet train. Inevitably, things don't quite go to plan. She trades this information – which will give the rebels the chance to assassinate the Reichsfuhrer – for the assurance that Juliana and her people will smuggle Helen and her two daughters out into the neutral zone and away from danger. The file reveals that Smith is about to oversee the construction of dozens of concentration camps across the continent, where hundreds of thousands of non-Aryan Americans and so-called "undesirables" will be exterminated.Īppalled, Helen gets back in contact with Juliana and tells her Smith will be setting out for the Poconos the next day on the 11am bullet train. Sensing that her husband is up to no good, she rifles through his desk and finds a file conveniently stamped with the words 'Phase 5' in large, blood-red letters. Someone else who's feeling troubled is Smith's guilt-ridden wife Helen (Chelah Horsdal). I don’t know what it is but I can sense it." Again, ominous. Juliana's got a feeling that mysterious things are about to happen with that portal, telling Wyatt, "Something's coming. Meanwhile, Juliana (Alexa Davalos) and twinkly-eyed Irish freedom fighter Wyatt (Jason O’Mara) are preparing the rebels' assault on the Nazi-built portal between dimensions that's hidden away in the Pocono mountains. Straight away, Smith and his top brass set about planning military action to remove the troublesome Black Communist Rebels from the previously Japanese-held western Pacific states – oh, and another top secret matter known only as 'Phase 5'. Having bumped off grouchy old Himmler in the previous episode, newly-installed Reichsfuhrer John Smith (Rufus Sewell) struck a deal with his new German counterpart which grants him full control of the American Reich. It's the kind of mission even the resilient, gung-ho Juliana Crain might dismiss as being too tricky to pull off.īut while the climax to the fourth and final season of dystopian alt history drama The Man In The High Castle has more than its fair share of flaws and unanswered questions, it still just about managed to tie everything up with a reasonably neat bow. Note: contains spoilers for The Man In The High Castle seasons one to fourĬoncluding a show that plays with the idea of an infinite number of parallel realities is a tough ask.
