"Dear beast, my sweet beast."

Please don't die. Stay with me."

"With these words, she kissed him and closed her eyes."

And then, the castle was filled with thousands of lights and music.

And when she opened her eyes, the beast had vanished.

And instead, there stood before her a smiling young prince.

"'I am the beast you feared so much, ' explained the Prince."

Phoebe, come on.

Go away! I'm not asleep.

Hey, I'll be quick. Don't worry.

Finally.

Bea's not asleep yet.

-Nothing's gonna happen. -Hey!

Three or four more times and you're done.

I hated leaving my little sister alone.

Bea had no one else.

We'd lost everything during the last big pandemic.

Our home, our family.

Berlin had become unbearable.

The city suffocated under the heat, the trash, the disease.

-How much? -Fifty.

Fifty? All right.

People needed a distraction.

And business was booming.

Bea and I just wanted to get away.

Somewhere where things were better.

But the next morning, everything changed.

I think we're good.

Same time tomorrow?

Attention, clear the streets, stand clear of the vehicles.

What's going on?

-Is it Wednesday? -For your safety...

-The Disinfection. -Please remain in your homes.

We are carrying out extensive disinfection measures in the neighborhood.

Your cash!

Keep all windows and doors closed.

Turn off ventilation and air conditioning systems.

Do not enter into any streets or public areas. We repeat...

Entry into the streets and public areas is strictly forbidden.

Hey! Stop! Stay there!

Fuck. Stop!

Phoebe? Phoebe!

Stop!

Hey!

-Get out of there, now! Go! -My little sister is in there.

Stay!

Bea? Bea?

Bea.

Hey, I'll take your sister. You stay behind me, got it?

Okay. Out of here. Go.

Come on!

Bea survived, but the toxic fumes made her sick.

She got a new home where they could take better care of her.

And I was left alone with my guilt.

15 YEARS LATER

The world has yet to recover from economic collapse.

Germany splintered into multiple small states.

Now everyone is isolated.

Only the Republic of Berlin is fighting desperately for democracy and freedom.

All that I want is the chance to help Bea get well again.

Ready.

I'm ashamed of what I've done.

Of what I've become.

What are you doing with the blood?

Ask my boss.

I'm afraid to see Bea again after all these years.

Afraid I'll make another mistake.

Who is responsible, you ask? All I can do is repeat myself.

Hilda Klein and her BDP.

Their empty promises are destroying Berlin piece by piece.

Most of all, their absolutely incompetent security

and immigration policies,

the lack of social structures, the... the open borders.

Everyone else has closed their borders except for us.

She kept her promises, yes, but only for the rich.

What about the average citizens of Berlin? Well, they're left completely destitute.

This two-tier society must come to an end.

I... I know it sounds dramatic, but the decline of Berlin must be stopped,

and this government must go.

According to the latest polls, Oliver Lawal of Aufbruch Berlin,

is the most likely challenger to the incumbent Prime Minister, Hilda Klein.

Five weeks before the election...

-It's too early to listen to that guy. -He's in good form.

Mm-hm.

-And how are you? -Good.

You sure?

How many more times are you gonna ask me that?

Okay, I'll be careful.

-Okay. -And how about you?

Did you get some rest? Are you stressed about today?

I'm only stressed when there's no coffee.

-They're broadcasting that thing today? -Mm-hm.

Well, hopefully they light you well, That helped.

Are you serious?

Writing something?

Yeah, it's about the illegal blood trade.

It's strange nobody knows what's happening to it, don't you think?

-Read it to me. -Yeah.

I still have something to correct, but I'll send you an e-mail.

Okay. Call me when the coffee is ready, okay?

Uh-huh.

-And, Bea? -Hm?

I'm sorry she doesn't wanna see you.

I would have just liked to talk to her before the surgery.

And wear the green suit. It looks way better.

Mm-hm. Love you too.

KLARA - CLINIC - PHOEBE'S APPOINTMENT POSTPONED.

PHOEBE'S APPOINTMENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED.

-Hey. -There you are.

She finished with Dr. Karlicek.

-Left two minutes ago. -What?

There. There she is. But you didn't get that from me.

Thank you.

Hi, do you have a minute to help? The clinics here depend on your blood.

Did you know that?

-Hey! Phoebe! -Hey, people are dying here.

It's me.

Bea.

Can we talk for a second?

Yeah?

I'm on my way.

Yeah, calm down. I'll be right there.

Uh... It's my job.

We'll talk after the surgery, okay?

I have to go. I'm sorry.

You can't just leave.

Phoebe.

Hey, wait. Wait!

Please, stop.

Hey, wait!

-Are you okay? -Close the door.

Close the door!

What are you doing?

-We got one... -In pursuit.

Phoebe, stop.

Are you nuts?

Hold the box tight.

-What's in there? -Just hold it.

Shit.

Phoebe!

You okay?

Uh-huh, you?

Where's the box?

Oh, shit.

-What? -No, no, no.

You're dealing blood?

It's a job.

I just drive for them.

For the Batvia Clan, right?

Please, just leave.

Cops will be here any second. And I don't want you getting involved.

Phoebe?

Shit.

Please go. This is dangerous.

I'll hold it from the inside.

BDP FOR A FUTURE TOGETHER.

Delta 51, please report.

Delta 51, Dispatch. Come in.

REPUBLIC OF BERLIN

The race for the highest office in the Republic of Berlin

is entering a critical phase.

One major issue is the controversial Climate Dome project...

-Hey, Akash. -Hey, Laura.

Led to the breakup of the coalition between Klein's BDP

and the Free Citizens of Berlin's Felix Prager,

a staunch supporter of the Climate Dome.

Although Hilda Klein has since distanced herself from further dome projects,

many blame the innovative construction project for the growing social injustice

that we face in Berlin.

Leading the charge is Oliver Lawal, the candidate for Aufbruch Berlin...

I hear he's campaigning in retirement homes and hospitals now.

Hm.

-Where is she? -Back there.

Yesterday, thousands of protesters gathered again

-in front of the Dome. -Don't fall asleep.

...camping there for weeks to draw attention to the housing shortage.

An absolute majority...

Hello.

Hello.

-Yes? You wanted to see me? -Yes.

Glad you're here in time.

-Nervous? -Why?

Today is important.

Don't let him push your buttons.

-Just seeing him pushes my buttons. -Yes, that's what I'm getting at.

According to polls, he's ahead of us on issues like crime,

security and immigration.

-We need to take a stronger stance. -Well, we are.

Not enough.

Look at what he's demanding.

Show them that we're not so different.

He stands for everything we're against. There are no compromises.

Politics always means compromise.

Give him an answer. You offer solutions where he rants.

That's how we can persuade him.

So suck up to him?

You want to propose a coalition?

Make sure and let me know if this is too much.

So you don't think I can do this?

No, but I can see that Bea's operation is upsetting you.

-I'll be okay. -Good.

In the new government, I'd like you to take on more responsibilities.

How is she doing?

-Bea? -Mm-hm.

Honestly, I'm not really sure.

I'm afraid of those two seeing each other again.

You're second-guessing everything.

You have the appointment,

Phoebe's donating her kidney. It'll go well.

It has to.

I should have told her the truth a long time ago.

Train to...

Please stand clear.

Give me the other ones.

One water.

Where are you taking it?

Bus is over there. It'll get you home.

Wait. So that was it?

Look, the operation's what matters.

We'll talk Friday, when it's over.

Hey, hurry up.

Hey, if you're donating blood, it's down there, okay?

-Are you here to give blood? -No.

A young woman just came in here a second ago.

Who are you looking for?

Phoebe Kaya.

What are you holding?

It's hers.

That's not hers.

Come here.

I don't care what your excuse is this time.

-I have to report it. -What are you reporting?

You giving these away now?

You took her on the route?

Yeah, I did, but it's okay. She's my sister.

You lost two of them. This is not okay.

Calm down, Robbie. I'll take care of it tomorrow.

Hey, you don't get it, do you?

You lose the goods, you crash my car.

All right, everyone out. Come on. Go!

You too, come on.

Here.

Stop!

A journalist?

Can you walk me through what's going through that sick head of yours?

I swear, she's just here because she's my sister.

Here, take a photo.

You live in a good neighborhood, don't you?

I've had it with your fucking messes.

She's taking over Soren's route today.

-I've already been out for ten hours. -You're doing the dorms now.

Robbie will send you the plan. Now get lost.

And you.

Boo!

Are you scared?

Come on.

You still need someone tonight?

For the boss's party.

-You should have never come here. -Nice job you've got there.

Please, this is just not the time.

Fifteen years, no contact.

Why are you giving me your kidney if you don't wanna talk to me?

-Is Laura paying you? Is it money? -No.

Then what? You didn't care that you were my sister before.

You just left me.

I disappeared, huh?

Did Laura tell you that?

Well, isn't that true?

She didn't wanna adopt two kids, and you were the one who was sick.

No contact.

That was her one condition for your benefit.

You're lying.

She would never have done that. She knew how much I missed you.

I missed you, too.

So why'd you never come visit?

Did Laura say you couldn't?

YOU'LL DESTROY US STOP THE SELLOUT OF BERLIN!

Welcome to the Dome project.

Before entering, please visit our security check-ins.

Thank you.

The bag, please.

May I?

What is this?

I need that for medical reasons. Kidney failure.

Here.

I'm here for the event today.

The journalist entrance is to the right.

Thank you.

Hello. I have a question.

Where else can we enjoy clean air,

comfortable temperatures and green vegetation

without consuming vast amounts of nonexistent energy?

The dome and its specialized technology

are the answers to the problems of our time.

A paradise. Like before, better even.

That's why it's so important we're meeting here today.

So you can understand the amount of hope a second dome could bring to Berlin.

Ms. Hoffmann, as secretary of construction,

what do you say?

Why did your party first approve the Dome,

but now fiercely opposes further dome projects?

The Dome was a trial we had high hopes for.

And I want to be clear,

absolutely no government funds were used for the construction.

It was entirely privately financed.

We have clear policy against a second Dome.

We are concerned with the social fabric,

-the whole context... -The social fabric?

Where was that concern when your administration pushed the project?

I mean, that's the real scandal. What about the Berliners?

Lower to middle-class people, who were forced out of their family homes.

And who are the people that live there?

Only the super-rich, oligarchs from around the world

whose sources of income remain unknown.

In any case, it's not the residents of Berlin who live there.

You have sold out "Paradise," or so you call it, to foreigners.

Berlin has a Dome.

But the dome is not Berlin.

Yeah.

Yes, it is indeed a wonderful thing.

And above all, it's safe.

Because here, unlike the rest of Berlin,

people understand that you have to protect yourself from invaders

and that you should control who or what comes in.

Why aren't these safety standards used for all of Berlin?

I'll tell you why.

Because Ms. Hoffmann isn't interested

in the rest of the people that live in the city.

You know very well that we care about the people of Berlin.

Oh, really?

Our party is planning for new legislation, extensive reforms in education

and in the health sector.

-Increased security is a priority as well. -Great.

Maybe you could explain to our viewers what that means in concrete terms.

What are you gonna do?

You keep bringing it up yourself.

You're calling for a halt in immigration and the repatriation of migrants.

You're putting words in my mouth I've never said.

-No, no, no. -Oh.

Yes.

Of course, we will give preferential treatment to Berliners as well.

And regulate immigration.

However, with good judgment, humanity...

-and with sincerity. -Did I get this right, Ms. Hoffman?

That the BDP is also considering a halt to immigration?

Is that an offer to form a coalition with Mr. Lawal?

-If you wanna call it... -Yes, I can understand.

She and her party are afraid of crashing and burning with their approach.

They're switching to our platform at the last minute.

-That's what it is. -Any coalition will be after the election.

A halt to immigration? Are you serious?

I'm the one who gives the floor here.

Someone pass the microphone to the young lady.

Yesterday, you worked with one party to build this dome to stay in power.

And today all is forgotten and you're cozying up to the populist?

Are you interested in how people in Berlin are doing,

or are you trying to get votes?

Ms. Hoffman, would you care to comment on that?

This is the blood of someone who is forced to sell it

on the black market to survive.

Parents are selling the blood of their children.

We know blood trafficking is a problem.

No one does anything about it.

My sister became a blood dealer just to survive.

But you don't care about that

because those who are affected don't even vote.

Would you like to respond?

Yes, the blood trade is a serious problem and we, of course, are working on it,

and other problems.

It's crucial that we meet all people of Berlin with sincerity and honesty.

Honesty?

Why should these people believe you

when you lied to your own daughter for 15 years?

She's right there. Grab her.

Are you her daughter?

Get her out of here!

Stay back. Hey, hey. Stay back.

And where were you two engaged?

Tunis.

Nice. Not possible nowadays.

-Did you see it? -Everyone saw it.

I wish you could have been there. So sad.

Her own daughter.

-Fitz-James is here. -Not tonight.

My father says he has political ambitions.

-Mm. -Could be a good opportunity.

Oliver.

Cyrus.

This is just fantastic. Thank you for the invite.

Nobody can choose their family.

You're right, Dad.

Did you look at the polls?

This is an evening for friends, not for campaigning.

Of course.

A friend of mine is right over there. Fitz-James.

I'd like to say hello to him, if I may. May I? Thank you.

Everything's great.

Heaven help him if he tries to bother my guests.

Be happy that things are going well for us.

You look nice tonight.

Privatization. It's all just...

-Go and get me another roast beef... -Sorry, sir. We're out.

Check with the kitchen. They can find some.

-Got it? -I'll take that. Thanks.

-Oliver Lawal. -I know, the son-in-law.

Oh, well, I'd like to be thought of as more than that...

Not here. That Cyrus is very particular. You definitely won't be getting his vote.

I'm just here to say hello to Farah.

Did you know we spent time in law school together?

No.

Mm, those were some pretty wild days.

Still looking as beautiful as ever. Hello, hello.

It's wonderful to see you here tonight. How are you, Farah?

If that's what Hilda wants.

I think it's wrong, though. It was a private matter.

Yeah, well, the media will talk for a few days, and then...

But...

I...

I wouldn't be worried. Yeah.

Thank you, Bernd. I have to hang up. I'll call you right back.

Hey!

Are you out of your mind?

You left her on her own and made her promise not to see me?

-She was 14. -That is so ridiculous.

-Did she say that? -Explain it.

I was alone. I couldn't handle two kids.

And you were sick, so I made a choice. It had nothing to do with Phoebe.

I told her she can see you as soon as you settled in.

Then why didn't she come?

-Well, you'd have to ask her that. -Okay, then give me her number.

She was a junkie, Bea.

Maybe she was ashamed.

And yeah, I didn't want you guys to be in touch or speak, so I'm sorry.

Giving you her kidney is why she got sober,

and I was happy to help her.

We are not done here, Bea.

Hey, it's Phoebe. Can't talk, so leave a message after the beep.

Hi, Phoebe. It's Bea.

We need to talk.

I... I'm sorry.

Call me.

Why should people believe you when you lied

to your own daughter for 15 years?

Oh, my gosh.

Who let this girl in here?

SOMETHING ENGAGING HAPPENED AT BERLIN'S PRESS CONFERENCE TODAY.

FINALLY, SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING.

SO COURAGEOUS!!!

-ANONYMOUS PHOEBE!!!! -ACTIVE

VIDEO PHOEBE!!!!

Shut up! Get up.

Come here. Shut your mouth.

-Calm down. - Hey!

-Hey! -Come on, give me your phone.

Look what your shithead sister has done.

Look at it. Look at it!

May as well send the cops a personal invite. Quiet!

Enough! Take her to the boss with the others.

It's all in the e-mail, okay?

I want you to get me a breakdown of all the social media reactions by tomorrow.

Yeah. Then we can decide how to respond.

Yeah. Thank you. See you tomorrow.

What a view.

Johan Moderson.

-Farah Lawal. -I know.

Are you a friend of my father's?

You could say that, yes.

And... are you happy with the evening?

We take every opportunity to talk to interesting people

about meaningful topics.

I see.

And you? Are you enjoying yourself?

I am delighted to make your acquaintance.

I've followed your husband's career for some time now.

Oh, yeah?

I find his whole vision refreshing.

He's authentic, affable, emotional.

He's a bit of a folk hero.

-But I don't need to tell you that. -Yeah.

Go tell him that yourself.

You are in charge of the party's finances, though, aren't you?

I'd like your campaign to have my support.

-Just like that? -Why not?

I think he's the best man for Berlin.

And what do you do professionally?

I invest in the future.

Sorry.

THYRA SHE'S ABOUT TO GET HERE. WHERE ARE YOU?

I... I'm sorry, but, uh... I have to get going.

Meeting you has been a pleasure.

Let's talk more about the details when there's more time, with your husband.

-Yeah. -Thank you.

Good evening.

It feels good to be back here.

Where are we?

This way.

Put your phones, watches, jewelry here.

Earrings too. All jewelry.

Why?

House rules. You'll get everything back after the party.

Hey, it's Phoebe. Can't talk, so leave a message after the beep.
