PREVIOUSLY ON CITY OF BLOOD

Fifteen years, no contact.

Why give me your kidney if you don't want to talk to me?

Did Laura tell you that?

She didn't want to adopt two kids and you were the one who was sick. No contact.

-You're dealing blood? -Please, just leave.

I don't want you getting involved.

The race in Berlin...

FIGHT OVER SECOND DOME

enters a critical phase.

As Secretary of Construction, what do you say?

Why did your party approve the Dome?

This is the blood of someone forced to sell it on the black market to survive.

-Are you out of your mind? -You left her on her own?

-Johan Moderson. -Are you a friend of my father's?

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

-I'd like you to have my support. -Just like that?

SHE'S ABOUT TO GET HERE.

It feels good to be back here.

Look what your sister's done.

Look at it! Take her to the boss with the others.

This way.

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

Where is she?

Give me the coat.

I apologize for being late.

You can't just sit here covered in blood.

How long now before sunrise?

All units in Sector G7,

we have a 32-40 at Uferstrasse 5.

Perpetrators are on the run. Please cordon off the entire area.

Copy, 12-14 to 0-1.

We'll cover the south side. ETA, three minutes.

5-17 to 0-1, do you copy? I have a combined request.

Hi.

5-17. Check passengers...

So, how's everything going at home?

Wow. Man, you really put on a show out there.

I loved the theatrics. Politics is always so bloodless.

12-14 requesting backup.

Copy that, 12-14. Mobilizing backup units.

Everything okay with your sister?

Come on, let's go. The shop's one of Zocha's.

These are dangerous guys, keep your distance.

Okay.

Just let me do the talking, all right?

Evening.

-Been a while, huh? -We're looking for Phoebe Kaya.

She works here.

She's not here.

Well, we have a witness who saw one of your men drag her out of here.

-Oh, yeah? What kind of witness? -That one, over there.

-Kevin? -No. He took her away.

Ah, so you must be the witness.

Kevin, come here.

Yeah? What's going on?

It's about your girlfriend.

-Yeah, which one? -The one you fight with.

They're always arguing.

Phoebe's jealous of one of my female colleagues.

She just freaked out.

Where is she?

No idea. Probably somewhere just shooting up.

No way Phoebe would be with him.

You don't know me.

Okay. Anything else I can do for you?

What's there?

-Mind if we look? -I do.

Carl! Come on, let's go.

-Get out. -Let me know if she shows up.

We'll call.

Come on.

What now?

There might have been an argument. She could show up tomorrow.

That was bullshit.

Okay, I'm taking you home and then, I swear,

-I will search for her. I promise. -You didn't see the video.

If nothing had happened, no one would have sent it.

Come on, we're leaving. Let's go.

-Want some? -No, I'm good.

Hey, party people.

Everybody relax. We're not at a funeral.

Why don't we lighten the mood?

You helped yourself.

Come.

it will.

It's been so long.

Good morning. It's 7 a.m.

The Dome is now open for visitors.

Please do respect the Dome rules and behave appropriately.

Have a wonderful day.

In here, we can finally live like them.

We aren't like them.

Darkness has always protected us.

Nature made us creatures of the night for a reason.

They can't find out about us.

Then go and talk to your son.

Zeno is erratic and reckless.

All the people in his organization are sloppy.

And until the blood trade is legalized, we have to rely on his network.

And the legalizing? Can you do it?

Lawal is perfect.

He's greedy, he wants power, and he can inspire.

It's a great risk to give humans your full trust.

-Good morning. -Morning.

-Espresso? -Uh-um.

Unfortunately, I have to run.

Does this mean we're not having morning coffee together anymore?

-How long ago did that stop? -You just have to get up earlier.

After what happened yesterday, this is a good time to talk to Klein.

Hoffmann's extended an offer

and their party is having a hard time finding coalition partners.

HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT MY OFFER? JM

Hmm.

She doesn't have options if she wants to stay in government.

Okay, yeah, yeah.

And please be nice. She'll put up a fight to avoid looking weak.

So, uh, who was that snooty guy last night?

You and him spent most of the evening on the terrace.

I have no idea. He was a fan of yours.

Really?

Mm-hmm.

So why did he talk to you and not me?

I don't know. You were busy with your phone, Oliver.

Hmm.

And was he interesting?

As a supporter.

His card's somewhere around here, I think.

Stella can call. I doubt it will go anywhere.

-Talk to Klein. It's important. -Mm-hmm.

PANKOW-HEINERSDORF STATION

Oh, shit.

-Hey. -What's the reporter doing?

We can't get rid of him, sir.

Let's go.

Come on.

As you can see,

Chief Detective Carl Hoffman is arriving at the crime scene.

-What can you tell us? -You're driving me nuts.

-Go away, please. -Can you share some details...?

Stay out of my crime scene.

How come I don't have more units here?

There's more than ten bodies.

I understand.

Yeah, fuck off.

We're here just trying to get more information...

Becht!

Twelve burned bodies were found.

They haven't been identified, according to the authorities.

BODY FOUND ON OUTSKIRTS OF BERLIN

The mayor of Berlin conveyed surprise and dismay,

and demanded an immediate investigation into the case.

However, some say the increasing crime rate

and mounting number of unsolved cases

show that the police are losing control of public safety in...

Phoebe. It's me again. Please answer the phone.

I just want to know if everything is all right.

We can't postpone the appointment

You know what I can't get out of my head?

You only helped her to get clean to get me a kidney.

That's ridiculous. Really.

All we want is for you to get well.

I'm gonna look for Phoebe.

Bea!

-Madam Prime Minister. -Mr. Lawal, now is not a good time.

Oh, it won't take long.

But ever since Miss Hoffmann indicated to us

that her party would consider our campaign issues,

-I thought I should take a shot. -What do you want?

Well, I thought maybe we could discuss over dinner.

-Dinner? -Yeah.

I haven't gone out for dinner in ages.

What was the name of that little restaurant that went out of business?

They had incredible lasagne.

Oh, you mean the one with the blue marquee?

-Marquee...? -Yeah, it's by...

-What was that street? -Schlüter?

No, no, no, that's not it. I meant that one Italian place.

Pablo...? Paolo?

Pedro.

Pedro, yes. Guess I forgot.

Look, Lawal, that's a very tempting offer,

but we don't have much to say to each other.

Hey, Yassin. What's up?

-Not much. You? -Not a lot.

-Here? -Of course not.

Here you go, sweetheart.

-Thanks, man. See you later. -Quicker next time, okay?

Oh, fuck.

...behind the curtain, under the sheen of democracy,

there's nothing but incompetence and weakness.

This government clearly doesn't care...

You leaving?

-Got a second? -Yeah.

What's the strategy with Lawal?

You sent me to make overtures, now you're blowing him off.

Bea's actions were extremely damaging.

He shouldn't think that we depend on him or that he calls the shots.

And if we have to enter into a coalition with him,

then it has to be on our terms.

We can't afford any other blunders. Period.

Look out the window.

We can all see thousands of desperate Berliners

who've spent months out in our streets to hold demonstrations.

REPUBLIC OF BERLIN

Here, in front of Parliament, in front of the Dome,

and across the whole city.

What is it that binds them together?

They are sick and tired. They've had enough.

The fact that they come back every day shows us they don't feel heard,

shows that they're deeply dissatisfied with their government

and its useless leaders.

And what happens? What happens next?

Nothing happens.

Early this morning, the authorities had the misfortune

of discovering 12 burnt, 12...

They found a truck with 12 burned... burned bodies, and...

Hey!

If you don't care about our city and its residents, why are you even here?

That's right!

Shit, it's hot in here.

Early this morning, a truck was found that contained burned bodies.

And under the present circumstances, we will never find out

who murdered 12 innocent people or the identities of the victims.

And that's all because you, Madam Prime Minister.

And your cronies on the stage,

don't invest a single cent in local police resources.

Oh, but they'll open the borders

to admit even more criminals into the country.

There's a war raging in our streets. And what is she doing about it? Oh, right.

She's doing nothing.

We need to... Thank you.

We need to take tougher action. We need to take any action at all.

We need change. We do.

And I can tell that everybody in here is starting to understand that.

Look, even the daughter of the Secretary of Construction is getting it.

Madam Prime Minister,

there is some good news.

You seem to have finally understood

that if you work alone, you just can't handle these problems.

Hilda Klein has made an offer to form a coalition with us for this exact reason.

And do you want to know what I think of that, Madam Prime Minister?

My candid opinion? Really, I wanna be honest.

I think your best days are far behind you

and there's nothing productive about any of your politics.

And I hereby declare that Aufbruch Berlin

refuses the offer your party has put forward.

We strongly reject the coalition. Thank you!

In a long, impassioned speech,

Oliver Lawal, lead candidate of Aufbruch Berlin,

has made it unmistakably clear

how he feels about the alleged coalition offer from Hilda Klein.

I thought the plan was to work toward a coalition with Klein. What happened?

Plans change.

At least they're loving it on social media.

Hey!

Hey! She just fell.

She just... collapsed, I don't know.

Look.

I don't know, she just fell over.

He doesn't have a key.

Fuck.

God damn it.

Hey!

Wait, don't go. Please. Please. No, come back!

-Hey. Here. Let us out. -Open the door!

-Unlock it, please. -Come on, hurry!

Don't leave!

Hey, stop! I said, stop!

Open the fucking door!

Need help?

Yeah.

Here, thank you.

Big plans?

Uh...

Um, we have a visitor. Should I send him up?

-Yeah, go ahead, we're all set. -Okay.

I'll be here. Let me know if you need anything.

Yeah, thanks.

Okay.

Here we are. Mr. Lawal is expecting you.

-How are you? -Good evening, Mr. Lawal.

Quite an amazing place you have here.

Guess so, yeah. Yeah.

But with water, it's even better.

I used to jump from that tower when I was a boy.

Oh, yeah? I'm glad you could take a meeting this late at night.

Yeah. Last night, it seemed like you were more focused on my wife.

Is she not here?

Uh-uh.

Thanks. None for me.

So... how can I help you?

You know, I was surprised by what you said in Parliament this morning.

But I'm not interested in investing in the opposition.

Who says we'll... be the opposition forever?

Ultimately, this is what it boils down to...

Hilda Klein can't form a functioning state without us.

The non-voter precincts, we have huge support.

I watched your speech closely.

Your dismissal of Klein's offer wasn't planned, was it?

A spontaneous, emotional reaction. Extremely effective.

-Gives you credibility. -That's what matters, isn't it?

Appealing to people who don't feel their voices are heard

by the Hilda Kleins of the world.

Tell me, does the name Dr. Theobald sound familiar?

Or, uh, Susanne Bauer?

Erol Yilmaz, Gesine Schweiger?

The law firm of Meyer & Partners?

I guess what I'm asking is, have you ever met your major donors in person?

I recognized your potential early, Mr. Lawal.

And what do you want from me?

This here is what I'll invest in the coming weeks

to give your party and its representatives the push you need.

Hm.

Why, though?

Like I told your wife already,

I believe that you're the best man for Berlin.

Would you like to speak to your wife about it first?

My wife... has a, uh, advisory position.

THE POWER TO BUILD A SOUND ECONOMY

We'll come up with something better.

Now arriving at Warschauer Strasse.

Please take care when exiting the train.

SUBWAY STATION KOTTBUSSER TOR

Shit.

Laura.

Hey, did you hear from Phoebe? Any updates?

No, and she wasn't home either.

Now what? I can't get a hold of Bea either.

-My colleagues are doing their best... -Really? What?

-I have to go. I'll call back. -Hang on...

Any news yet?

She won't abandon Bea.

Have you called the police?

-Carl's on it. -Oh.

-What's this? -New social media analysis.

DAILY STATS

Lawal's outburst in Parliament has brought him more support.

-Oh, shit. -Yeah.

You should have denied the coalition rumors directly.

But then he'd have the platform he wanted.

We need to attack him harder.

He covers every issue Berliners are concerned about.

It's not just the issues, trust me. It's not just what he says.

It's his anger, his conviction,

and his... his absurd level of self-confidence that draws people.

Yes, but that's not our strategy. Our strategy is about competence.

There are still enough Berliners who appreciate that.

-Five more weeks to go. -Yeah, I'm aware.

Tomorrow, I'm meeting with the Climate Party

and the Party for Social Affairs.

Let's pray they get over the 5% hurdle, right?

Yeah.

Finally.

Zeno.

it's a shame you weren't there this morning.

I would have loved to share that moment with my son.

I'm sure it was an incredible experience.

Thank you for the invitation.

Oh, how I've missed Berlin.

I came back to Berlin

because I could sense that a new era has begun for us.

More than a century ago now,

I met a young, ambitious architect here in Berlin.

He was hungry and driven, and I could tell he was ready to become one of us.

He wanted to use his unlimited time and resources

to understand our shared vision and make it a reality.

That vision was to find a place where we could move freely,

not only at night but also during the day.

No longer confined to the shadows.

This place has become so much more.

It can save us all.

The time of darkness is over, and the era of light has begun.

Nevertheless, we can't be careless.

-Even if we can finally live like them... -Farid.

Because of the Dome,

-our existence must remain secret. -I know him.

-Remain vigilant. -What are you doing here?

A moment of negligence threatens our prosperity.

But that is worth it for the chance to live in the light.

-Help me. -And offer a future to people

whose blood we depend on.

Johan, this Dome is your greatest achievement.

You've spent every minute working on it for decades,

and now you've finished it.

But this is only the prototype. Soon, these will be all over the world.

Oh my God, he got her. Let her go!

Let her go!

Zeno.

-Help. Help. Help, please! -Excuse me.

You know how important tonight is.

You promised to make me a part of it.

Come with me.

He's young. He has to learn.

Leave him to me.

But enough talk.

It's time to celebrate the new era.

And most importantly, happy hunting.

Let go. You have to. They're looking for me.

You honestly think someone will miss you?

Bea Hoffmann is my sister, daughter of Secretary of Construction!

They're looking for me.

No!

I think that's the one for you.

Or did you already pick someone else?

Oh, my mistake. You have things to do.

Yes, I should be leaving now.

No. Wait.

No.

No.

No.

Shit.

Let me go.

With what he's paying us, who cares?

-I can't lose this job. -I hear you.

Damn it.

-I'm so fucking hungry. -Yeah, same.

How's your wife?

You know, still fighting with her sister.
