My fan fiction doesn't follow a set episode. It is something in its own if I had to put it in a time frame I would say between episode 1 to episode 8 THE FILM The film that could end this all, the film that everybody wanted. This film could change the mind of any Nazi or Japanese. Where is it now? No one knows yet, but the Man in the High Castle says he wants it. Do you ever wonder who this man is? Juliana, he gives us information to fight against them to get our country back. I don't care who the hell he is. If he can give me back my country, I'll give him whatever damn tape he wants. Fine, Karen, but how do we get a film that we don't even know where it is? I don't know, but we gotta think of something. Maybe Joe knows where we can get it. He always seems to have information that we don't. I don't trust him, Juliana, he is very shady. Well he saved my life once. I think we can trust him I really do. What do you think Frank? Whatever you say. If you trust him and he did save your life then I trust him. Fine, get in contact with him tell him we need to set up a meeting and figure all of this out. [phone rings] [rings again] Hello? Hey Joe, it's Juliana. Hey what's up? Something wrong? Are you ok? Yeah I am fine, I just called to ask for some help. Do you think you can help us? Sure, what do you need? Have you heard about this new film that could change the world? Yeah I have. The Nazis are really spooked by it. Why, what have you heard? Not much, just that its a very very important one and the Resistance is trying to get it and is asking me for help. Well Juliana, I can see what some of my contacts say. Just give me a few days to get some information and we can meet. Ok Joe, thank you so much. We can meet in three days by the docks pier fourteen. Ok I got Juliana. I will be there and I will try to get as much information I can. T hanks Joe. Joe picks up the phone after hanging up with Juliana. He types in a number. Hello Joe. What news do you have for me? Hello Obergruppenführer. Have you heard about a new tape that could change everything? Yes we have. What have you heard? Well the girl Juliana Crain just called me saying that the Resistance is looking for it and asked me for some help. Well, looks like we are going to be giving them some help aren't we. Do you have any leads or anything? Well Joe it just so happens I do. This film is supposedly being held somewhere in Mexico, right on the border. So you tell your Resistance friends that and when you find the film I want you to kill everyone there. I don't care if you have feelings for this girl, I want you to shoot her. If I find out that you got this film and didn't kill them and spared their lives then I will have to kill you and your little buddy then. Joe clinches his fist. Yes Obergruppenführer. Heil Hitler. Heil Hitler. Three days later. So Joe what do you have for us? Any information? Actually, yes I do. I have heard from some sources that the tape is actually in Mexico right on the border. Interesting. Where did you get this information from? I got it from a very reliable source. Oh and what source is that? Well, I have a contact with a Nazi agent that is trying to join our side. Really? How come I haven't heard of this? News like that would spread like wild fire in the Resistance. It's a need-to-know-basis-only. If you don't know you don't need to know. Listen if you guys don't trust me, I can just go and take my information else where. No no fine ok. So guess we need to go to Mexico. How do we get to Mexico since Frank is being watched by the Japanese? That's easy - there will be a boat here in four days. You best all be on it; if you are not then you are not coming. Frank, are you sure you want to do this? Yes. It is the best chance for us to get out of here so we aren't hunted down like dogs and put down. This is a great chance for us. Once we leave here we never come back. We never look back. Just me and you starting a new life together, maybe even starting a family. It would be a better place for us, Juliana. Ok then lets' go get that tape and never come back. Four days have passed. Get on the boat. Don't ask any questions and don't talk to anyone else on this boat, ok? But why? Because I said so, Juliana. Just get on and be quiet. We don't want to draw any attention to us. Lem you got front and I'll get back, ok? Got it. Do you know what they are doing Joe? Well ,they are probably keeping lookout to see if any boat come towards us so they can be ready for a fight. But I could be wrong, I don't know. After a long and wet boat ride the group finally made it to Mexico. Lemmel and Karen disembark first and begin walking towards the town unfazed by the densely packed crowd around them. Juliana, Frank, and Joe got off the boat more cautiously, and notice that there are no Nazi or Japanese in sight. This country isn't ruled by a foreign power, it is rather run by the drug lords. As they walk through the outskirts of town, they see a man selling fish that look like they have been there for months; people are crowding around him forcing their way to the front to try to buy to eat. Even rotten fish is still food. They then see a woman with her three kids sitting on the edge of the dock, sharing one fish between them, they looked sad and depressed their clothes are all torn and worn. They don't have any shoes on. One of the kids sees Juliana and gets up and runs to her. She is giving the universal sign for begging, so Juliana automatically thinks she is asking for food. Juliana's face is in shock and tears are welling up in her eyes. The people that live here look depressed and beat down. None of them are dressed well. Frank can't believe what he is seeing either. They head deeper into town and it covered with people. They are being pushed around, people are bumping into them. There is so much sound, it is deafening. You can barely hear yourself think. Joe is quickly getting overwhelmed by all of it, so he tries to duck into a store. However they soon find that the store they go into isn't a store. There are kids sitting at four different tables cutting up drugs and putting them in packages. Behind them are men with MP-40s. They see Joe and scream at him in a language he doesn't understand. As they pull their guns up, Juliana goes into the store and pulls Joe out of there. They are aliens in a new world and they have no idea what to do. Lemmel and Karen arent fazed by any of this. Ok Joe what now? What did your contact say next? He said for me to call him once I reached Mexico. Just let me find a phone. Joe finally finds a phone but he had the pay the guy that owns it. He picks it up and dials a number. [phone rings] [phone rings again] Hello? Hey I need to speak to the Obergruppenführer. Joe, is that you? Yes, tell him I made it to Mexico. Ok, hold on one sec. Hello Joe. How was your trip? Good I hope. Yes sir, it was fine. Good, good rather wet huh? I am guessing you are calling because your little Resistance friends have no idea what to do next. Let me just get to the point Joe, the film is in the town you are at. But sir, how is that possible that the boat we got on took us to the exact same town that the film is in? Joe you really think that boat you got on was random? You really underestimate my powers here, Joe. I am always watching, Joe. I know every move you make, I know every breath you take. Everything you do is because I let it happen. That boat was owned by us. Do you really think that you would have made it there with no resistance at all? I made sure that the waters were clear. Joe clinches his fist in anger. I had no idea sir. I'm sorry. Ok Joe, so the film is owned by the drug lord that runs and owns this town. He lives on the big house overlooking the town. He is a very dangerous man. If he believes you are a danger to him, he will instantly kill you without hesitation. So find a way to get a meeting with him. Joe, best of luck to you. Heil Hitler. Heil Hitler. Joe hangs up the phone and finds everyone sitting at a table drinking some water. Juliana hands him a glass of water. So what did he say? Well, I got good news and I have bad news. The good news is that we got lucky and the film is in this town. Ok, what's the bad news? The bad news is that the drug lord that owns this town has it. He lives up in that house up there. That's all he could tell me. Ok, now leave the rest to us. There are some Resistance members here that might be able to help us. They live in a house that is just outside of town. Let's get there as fast as possible. I don't want to waste any time. The longer we wait, the sooner that film gets away from us. They head out of town to a lone house. It is a dilapidated house with the paint practically gone and the windows are either broken or completely gone. Karen and Lemmel do a secret knock on the door and a man opens the door. Ok, you three wait outside for us. They don't like strangers. We shouldn't be long, ok? I guess we have no choice, do we? No you don't. Juliana, Frank, and Joe sit outside. The heat starts to finally get to them and they are sweating heavily. Frank is pacing back and fourth, which makes Juliana and Joe uneasy and nervous. What if they can't get help? What if they aren't able to set a meeting up? What if we can't get the film? Frank is going on and on and you can see on Joe's face that it is getting on his nerves, question after question. Joe is getting more and more anxious. Frank shut the hell up please. We just have to have faith in them. Frank finally stops and sits next to Juliana and she rest her head on his shoulder. He kisses her forehead, trying to comfort her. An hour passes by and Karen and Lemmel come out of the house. Ok we have a meeting tonight. But its going to be risky. The guys here have been trying to kill this lord for a long time now. In exchange for getting this meeting they want us to kill the drug lord. What? How are we going to do that with no guns? They will give us some pistols to sneak in to kill him. No, I will not kill anyone. Juliana we don't have the luxury to do whatever you want right now. I don't care. I won't kill a man in cold blood regardless of what he has done. Just give me the gun. Frank no, you can't kill anyone. Jules, don't worry .I will only use if it needs to be used. Ok, we will get a hotel room so we have a place to lay low after we are done. Once we get this film we have been told to head back and give it directly to the Man in the High Castle. I want you all to know that if any of us die no matter what we keep the mission going. Do you understand? It's now night time everyone is ready to go to meet the drug lord. They head up the hill to his house and they immediately notice how well fortified his house is. There are two towers, each one with a sniper on top of it. Ok, so once we get in and see the film, Lem and I will get it. The other resistance member will take care of the guys out here so we don't have to worry about that. They head inside the main gate of the house. As they are walking in, they see a bunch of men in a circle and in the middle of them is a ring where they are having cock fights. Juliana is disgusted by what they are doing. There is blood covering the floor and walls of this small ring. Men are screaming and throwing money into the ring. They walk through the front door of the house and head to what seems to be the main room. The drug lord is sitting on what looks to be a throne. Behind him are two men with MP-40s Karen and Lemmel step towards him and begin to talk to him in a language that Juliana, Joe, and Frank don't understand. The drug lord gets up and goes to a box and takes out the film. Lemmel looks at Karen and nods. They pull their pistols out and start to shoot the drug lord. The two guards with him start shooting as well. Everything is almost in slow mo in Juliana's eyes. One of the guards kits Karen multiple times, killing her. Her body falls to floor and the film flies out of her hand and lands in front of Joe. He picks it up. Juliana and Frank begin to run out of the house. While running away, Lemmel is shot in the back but continues to run. Joe is right behind them running. Once they get outside, it is a war zone. Bullets are flying left and right and one bullet hits Joe, but it only grazes him. They see that the gate to the house is open and they make a break for it. They get into town and get into their hotel. Frank and Joe help Lemmel into the room, but he is bleeding badly and blood is coming out of his mouth. He is coughing up blood and it looks like there is nothing they can do. He looks at them and says, Get this film to where it needs to be. Make sure my wife and kids know that I died a hero. Please finish this for me, please make take my country back. With his last breath, his eyes close and he just lies there, lifeless. Juliana is in tears in the corner, covered in Lemmel's blood. Frank runs to Juliana and makes sure that she is ok. Joe pulls out the film and puts it on the table. They wrap Lemmel in a blanket and take him outside to bury him. What are we going to do about Karen? Juliana, she is dead. There is no way that we can go get her. The least we can do for Lem is to give him a proper burial. They bury Lemmel and head back to the hotel. They all then try to fall asleep and when they wake up tomorrow morning they know they need to make a plan to get out of there. The next morning, Joe wakes up first and heads out. Juliana hears him leave, so she gets up and follows him without him knowing. Joe heads to the phone he used to call the Obergruppenführer. He picks up the phone and calls him again. [phone rings] [rings again] Juliana is hiding behind a wall near him so she can hear everything that he is saying. Hello, it's Joe Blake. Please put the Obergruppenführer on. It's important. Good morning, Joe. Any new updates on your mission? Yes sir. I have the film, but I heard that once we get the film that the Man in the High Castle wants this directly taken to him, sir. Change of plans then Joe, go to where ever this meeting was suppose to be and kill that man. Yes sir. Joe, regardless of what happens, you will be a hero to the Nazi regime. If you do not make it back I will make sure that your loved ones will be taken care of and safe from any harms. Thank you Obergruppenführer. Heil Hitler. Juliana eyes widen when she hears Joe say that. She runs back to the hotel room to tell Frank. She rushes into the room and slams the door. Frank, Joe is a Nazi agent. He isn't working for the resistance at all. Wait, what? Juliana how do you know this? I heard Joe get up early and I decided to follow him. He got to a phone and called someone. I over heard him say Obergruppenführer and heil Hitler. He is working for them. He has been lying to us this whole time. Shit, I knew it. Did he bring his gun with him? I don't know lets look for it. Juliana and Frank frantically are looking for the gun that Joe had. Juliana finally finds it and hides it. What do we do now? We have to confront him about it. Make sure you have the film on you. Do not let him get it. The door knob of the hotel room turns and in walks Joe. He has what looks to be food with him. Hey, I thought you might be up so I brought some food. I have no idea what any of it is but it at least it is something, right? Juliana is trying to play it cool. Her hands are touching her neck which is a sign that she is nervous and uncomfortable. Is that where you went so early? To get us food? Yeah. Sorry, did I wake you up? No you're fine. Thanks for the food. They all sit down at the table eating what Joe brought back with him. The tension around this table is thick. You can feel it. Frank and Juliana keep looking at each other. Joe is getting a weird vibe from them as well. So how are we getting out of this place? I mean we don't have Lemmel or Karen anymore. Let's go back to the house were they talked to the other Resistance members. Maybe they could help us. They all get dressed and Juliana takes the film with her and Frank has Joe's gun. Do you guys know where I put that gun at? I thought we buried the guns. I buried mine right next to Lemmel, remember? Oh yeah, I forgot. It was so crazy last night, it's all just a blur to me now. They head back to the house that they went to the night before. They try to do the knock that Karen did. A man opens the door; he has a bandage over his eye. The guy remembers them from yesterday so he lets them in. They walk into the house there are men laying on the floor with sheets over them. The guy tells them to sit down at the table and they do. I know you probably don't understand us, but how are we going to get to the meeting with the Man in the High Castle? The man speaks some English, but it is very broken. You take plane. You give tape. Meet here at point. He pulls out a map and points to a spot on it and its a airstrip. You say no words you go there, small plane pick you up, take you to country, meet man and give film. He hands them the map so they can use it to get to the airstrip. He makes them get up and leave. You go there in morning, plane will be ready go. He slams the door. Ok, what do we do in the meantime then while we wait? I have no idea. I guess we just wait then. Well I'm going to Lemmel's grave to pay respect. Sounds good. We can go there tonight. Let's go back to the hotel and try to have another rest. They head back to the hotel and rest a little more. They wait and wait. Juliana and Frank try to think of a way to deal with Joe. The anger inside Juliana is building in her head as she wonders how could he do this to them. She thinks about the time he saved her life in Canon City. The whole time he was just lying. Night falls. The group can tell because the sounds of animals start to get louder and people start to get quieter. They head to where they buried Lemmel. It's right by what looks like a huge ditch. Joe goes to Lemmel's grave and gets on one knee and starts to pray. Juliana pulls the gun out and puts it to the back of Joe's head. Juliana is this what your heart is telling you? My heart tells me he is a good man. He's a...he's a brave man who...who must have good reason for...betraying his people. But my head? My head says that we should take him out in the woods, interrogate him, shoot him in the fucking face. Juliana says all of this with a gun pointed at Joe. How could you lie to me? You told me you were working for the resistance, but all along you were a fucking Nazi agent? You lied to me. Juliana you got to trust me I do not work for them. Who can I believe, Joe, I have proof? Juliana, I promise I do not work for them anymore. Remember when you asked me back in Canon City if I watched the film? Well, I did. It changed my view on everything. I found myself wondering if the Germans were doing everything wrong. I mean for Christ sakes they burn people just for being different. That is not a world that I want to live in. I changed my mind, Juliana I want to make the world a better place. I can’t believe you, Joe. You lied to me before and you could easily lie to me again. Juliana, please just give me one more chance. She pulls the gun back. Joe gets up grabs the gun from Juliana. You should have never believed me. Joe please don- All you hear is a single gunshot. Heil Hitler. Frank runs to Juliana's body, holding her tight screaming and crying. You Nazi fuck. We weren't going to fucking kill you, you fucking piece of shit. Frank lunges at Joe. During the tussle, the gun goes off and Frank falls on top of Joe. The bullet hit him right in his chest. Joe gets up with Juliana and Frank's blood all over him. He heads back to the hotel to get cleaned up. After he is done cleaning up, all he does is cry. Why does it have to be like this? I am so sorry. Joe collects himself and ends up passing out for the rest of night. He wakes up and gets dressed and leaves everything behind except the gun and the film. He boards the plane. He sits there with a dead and cold look on his face, like he just killed his own family. The plane ride is a little bumpy but they fly over a castle. Joe doesn't even look out the window to see it. The plane lands on a airstrip. A guy gets Joe up from him seat and leads him to a door under the castle. Joe is in a trancelike state. He is not noticing anything around him. He is finally lead down some stairs and is finally in front of the Man in the High Castle. He is sitting on a couch watching one of the films that the Resistance gave him. Joe finally snaps out of it and his face is in utter shock. The man stands up and turns to him and all Joe can say is. Mine Führer.
