Chapter 56
Summary
Joseph learns from Donovan that Speedwagon is still alive and being held in a secure Nazi base. Joseph begins shedding tears of joy just as he notices Donovan trying to escape and ties him to a cactus.
At the Nazi base, Joseph attempts to sneak in by cross-dressing as a showgirl. He walks up to the guards at the gate with two bottles of tequila during a body check. Due to his muscle bound stature, he is immediately discovered and held at gunpoint. Joseph quickly uses the ripple on the tequila bottles, causing the corks to pop out and hit a palm tree nearby. The coconuts in the tree fall down and hit the guards in the head, temporarily putting them in a daze. Joseph uses this moment to kick them in the face and render them unconscious, after which he quickly puts on one of the guards uniforms.
Back in the Nazi base, Santana had suddenly vanished from the room he was being secured in. Confused at how this was done, Stroheim orders them to stop the oxygen flow into the room and play the film that was recording the events. On the film they see Santana running towards the wall and then suddenly begins shapeshifting his bones and muscles. He manages to squeeze himself through a metal grate, and starts traveling throughout the Nazi base in the air duct.
