In Man in the High Castle's tenth episode, "A Way Out," secrets are revealed. The shows start off right where last episode's cliffhanger ended. Juliana and Frank just finished watching the film that had Frank being executed by Joe. Tears are running down Juliana's face as they try to comprehend what the hell they just saw. Then Joe shows up. Frank refuses to hand the film over to Joe, which leads to them fighting each other. Joe leaves, which has Frank and Juliana wondering what are they going to do next. They reach out to Karen and Lemmel for help. They tell them what's on the film and that Joe has the film. The Resistance realizes how important this film actually is. Karen and Lemmel propose something to Juliana and Frank - in exchange for helping Juliana and Frank get on a boat to Mexico, Juliana must get the film from Joe and kill him. Juliana says she can't kill him in cold blood, so Lemmel says he will and that all Juliana has to do is lure him out of the Nazi embassy that Joe went to. Meanwhile, Kido finally finds the sniper that shot the crown prince and who is a Nazi agent. Kido doesn't even skip a beat and kills him right away. Kido explains to his partner that it was something has to be done. If word got out that the Nazis attacked the Japanese, a war would break out, and that's what the powerful Nazis want. Meanwhile, the Obergruppenführer is walking into a trap and he knows it. What the Obergruppenführer doesn't know is the details and what it means for him. The Obergruppenführer was asked to go on a hunting trip by Heydrich, the man he believes tried to have him killed. Meanwhile, Rudolph has just gotten back to Berlin to assassinate Hitler. But before he goes to see Hitler, he goes and sees his family. Its clear right away that Rudolph isn't just there for his family. But this is probably the final time that he will be seeing them. He bids them a very heartfelt and sad goodbye; you can feel the sadness. Back in San Francisco, Ed is trying to melt the gun that Frank made to kill the crown prince. He is about to melt it when he drops the gun and is seen by the foreman, which leads to his arrest. This also saves Kidos life because he was just about to preform seppuku, which is a form of suicide in the Japanese culture where if you fail your duties you must take your own life. When Frank finds out about this, he leaves Karen, who was about to head to the docks where they are going to kill Joe. Frank gets to the police station just in time to see Ed being taken away. Frank is screaming that it is his gun and that he made it, but Kido doesn't seem to care anymore. Juliana manages to help Joe escape the Nazi embassy where Joe realizes that he is going to be killed by Heydrich's men. She tells him of Lemmel and Karen's plan to kill him. But she tells Joe that she think she can they can both come out of this safe. Juliana brings Joe to the docks, but Joe quickly realizes that this is where they are going to kill him. He pleads with Juliana that he is a different man and that the man in the film isn't him. Juliana believe him and ruins the Resistance's plan to kill him. Juliana gets Joe on the boat that Frank and her were suppose to use to go to Mexico. Lemmel and Karen realize that she isn't going on with the plan, but it's too late for them to do anything because Joe is already on the boat. Meanwhile, Rudolph is on his way to meet Hitler and he sees that Hitler is watching some of the Grasshopper films. Rudolph can't grasp what exactly is going on, but Hitler seems to know more then he is letting on. While Rudolph is holding a gun to Hitler's face, Heydrich has captured the Obergruppenführer and is asking him to join his mission to start a war. The tension is building, but Rudolph refuses to kill Hitler and in turn ends up killing himself. The Obergruppenführer and Heydrich are at a table waiting for a phone to ring, and Heydrich believes it is going to be Rudolph saying that he has killed Hitler. But instead he hears Hitler's voice on the phone. Then, the man that is helping Heydrich is shot and killed and the Obergruppenführer is able to grab a gun and shoot and capture Heydrich as a traitor. Meanwhile, back in San Francisco, Tagomi heads to a park to contemplate everything that is happening and, Juliana's necklace in hand, to meditate. He closes his eyes, you hear the sounds around him building to a pitch before they stop and start again. But something sounds different. He opens his eyes he is in the same park but its changed. There is an American flag hanging from a pole. Rock music is playing in the background. He sees a newspaper that says "John F. Kennedy Setting Up an Arms Blockade Against Cuba."
