Outline

Tagomi and Kido, who survived the bombing, deal with the aftermath of the destruction of the Kempeitai headquarters. Afterwards, Kido travels to New York and plays the film (from an alternative Earth) for Smith that appears to provide evidence that the Japanese have a hydrogen bomb. The resistance attempts to avenge Karen’s death by killing Juliana but she escapes. She then confronts and kills George Dixon who was threatening to expose Smith by broadcasting the tape of her conversation with Thomas. Smith travels to Berlin with the film to convince his Nazi superiors not to attack Japan so as to avoid nuclear retaliation. Smith meets privately with Himmler to expose Heusmann as a traitor. After arresting Heusmann and Joe, Himmler addresses the worldwide public from the Volkshalle, appearing to assume control of the Reich. He publicly praises Smith for his service. The recognition that Smith receives inspires Thomas to turn himself over to the Public Health Department to be euthanised. After travelling to the Neutral Zone, a bereft Juliana learns from Abendsen that hope remains and that her sister is alive. Finally, Lem hands over Abendsen’s remaining films to Tagomi.
