In this episode, we learn the stories of every "villainous" characters in the most heroic ways. Begin with Obergruppenführer John Smith, he is the man of his family, when it comes to the moment when he may not come back, first thing first, his family. And the man of his nation, the patriot of the Nazi Reich, he does what he has to, for his Fuhrer, for his country. To inspector Kido, the angry man who always does everything seriously. Why? also for his country, the man knows what is needed to be done, and he pulled off what was necessary to prevent a war where his nation will certainly loose. Those are the men who we have been viewing as bad people, but in the end, it's just that we have been seeing it from the wrong angle. Just a minor talk about Rudolph and the Japanese Trade minister, they both have their sad stories, and they both have their depths shown in this episode. This, by far, is why The Man in the High Castle is one of the best shows around.
