Help me.

Are you awake?

I brought coffee.

Thank you.

I'm proud of you.

What's up?

I told you yesterday.

Now we can look forward to the election,

and you'll get something to write about.

That's a promise.

Yeah?

What's happened?

Just a detour.

What are you doing here?

I'm here to help. Everything you could tell Inger, you can tell me.

Yeah.

The attack will happen soon.

I'm definitely on the inside, but...

don't use anything but the blog for communication.

They're still paranoid.

-Is the attack in Berlin? -Mm-hm.

Cato's plan is related to the election.

Change Germany to change Europe.

They have finances, digital assets...

We must strike fast as soon as I know the target, but that's still unclear.

Do you have anything?

The Germans have lost contact with an agent.

They want you to know who he is,

so you don't end up in any difficult situations.

Mm-hm.

His name is Jan.

So you know him?

Yes. Or...

He worked with the crypto financing, but...

He's dead.

What happened?

Have you guys said anything about me to the Germans?

No.

Someone leaked Jan's identity.

They have someone on the inside, that's why he was killed.

Almost me too.

Supposedly someone high up in the system, in the ministry.

They call their source The Scorpio.

The police won't find Jan.

They...

burned his body, and dissolved the remains in acid.

Soon all this will be over.

And you'll go back home and...

live a normal life.

I don't think a normal life is...

possible anymore.

That's how it feels now.

But it will get better.

I killed him.

Jan.

I shot him. I...

Oh, fuck.

Did they force you to do it?

He asked me to.

Let's just finish what we came here to do.

Tell Inger they trust me now.

And don't tell her I shot him.

I shouldn't have told you either. Sorry.

Tell her I'm on top of this.

It's me.

Ole?

It looks good.

Hi.

Your post. It's good.

I started reading it and I almost can't stop.

Are you on my computer?

You have my password?

Yes, you gave it to me.

No, I didn't.

Okay. Is that a problem?

No, I just...

Well, it's not exactly okay.

I think you should take a look at the ending.

Try to punch it up a little. And change the picture.

-I put some examples on... -OK...

Where have you been?

What the hell do you want me to do?

I gave up my entire life to fight for our cause! I even killed a cop.

What do I have to do to make you stop treating me like a child?

-Listen, I promised... -No! Now you listen to me!

You guys need someone to write your heroic epic? Fine.

You can find someone else because I am sick of this!

Ragna.

Ragna.

I see your point, OK?

We can talk about it later, but I want to show you something.

Come on.

I want to show you something.

Your agent's dead.

Our agent is dead?

-Yes. -I'm sorry, Kathi.

Oh, shit.

That can't be true.

And I'm afraid you can't tell anyone.

So who killed him?

-We don't know. We'll find out. -No, we will find out.

LKA will go in full force when they hear it.

Yes, and that's why you can't tell anyone.

Well, we have to. They killed our agent.

Yes, and our agent confirms

that someone leaked Jan's identity to them.

Oh, fuck!

So... Did she say which department? Did you get a name?

Scorpio.

Someone high up in the Verfassungsschutz or the Ministry.

-Scorpio? -That's it.

Scorpio.

Their goal is to change the election.

How can they change the election? What can they do to change the votes?

We don't know yet. That's why we need your help.

What do you want me to do?

Like I said, we're very interested in the crypto financing part of this.

And we would like everything your ministry has on that.

That is top secret.

We need to look into the crypto files that Jan was involved in.

They may give us information on what they are financing.

You're asking me to commit high treason.

Until you find The Scorpio, we are your only chance to stop the terror.

OK.

I'll get you the files and I'll give you 48 hours.

Then I have to start investigating the missing agent.

Thank you.

That's enough. Come.

Come, come, come.

Sorry I'm late.

Urgent meeting.

-What meeting? -An urgent one.

I'm just asking because I tried to call you before.

Yes, I know. And now I'm here. Eva?

In the further evaluation of the Safar brothers' telecommunications,

one man appears particularly frequently.

They call him The Teacher. His real name is Fahdil Al Dabbas.

He lives in Berlin and works as an electrical engineer.

He has a wife and four children.

All members of the Muslim community in Kreuzberg.

In the Iraq war, Fahdil was one of Saddam Hussein's best snipers.

They call him The Teacher because he trained snipers during the war.

It's not clear from the chats what they're up to,

but they keep exchanging information about the upcoming elections.

Especially about Amira Hamad's public appearances.

Hamad's sharp criticism of radical Salafism

makes her a traitor in The Teacher's eyes.

OK. Let's have him monitored.

I'll talk to the prosecutor after the meeting.

Any news on the C4 explosives?

We just can't find it.

How is that possible?

Helmut?

Our missing man.

LKA Brandenburg wants to search for him. He's been silent for too long.

We're still waiting.

-What are we waiting for? -We wait another two days.

Summarize that in a report, please.

Then I can look at it all again.

Yeah. Sure.

HASIR RESTAURANT

You must try the tea. It's fantastic.

I brought you here because this is where everything began for me.

My most important formative experience.

Back when I was studying here in Berlin,

I was in this area, sitting at this exact table,

drinking black tea, like we're doing now.

I was reading Nietzsche and Spinoza,

trying to understand how they see emotions,

and how they affect people and culture.

Spinoza was a stoic in many senses,

but he denied that reason could defeat emotion.

This has huge consequences, because it means that our culture,

our collective identity,

is shaped over time by our common emotions.

It felt like I was reading the code.

Like I had taken the red pill from The Matrix.

As I was having this epiphany,

I suddenly noticed that all the people passing by had stopped.

They were just staring at me.

People were staring because you understood Spinoza?

I thought so at first, but they were staring at that TV.

And then I witnessed...

how emotion trumps reason.

That was September 11, 2001.

That TV showed the second plane crashing into the second tower live.

And they showed it again. And again and again.

Emotions. Emotions. Emotions. I was in complete shock.

-Not because of what was on the TV. -Because of what then?

Because around me stood young Arabs...

born and raised in Germany...

and their eyes just lit up.

They just couldn't fucking hide it.

It was like a silent triumph.

And that's when I understood that Spinoza and Nietzsche were right.

The liberal idea of mixing "us" and "them"

in order to build a peaceful society is just a big fucking lie.

If we want to change anything, our culture...

If we want to make people think like we do,

we have to change people's emotions.

Osama Bin Laden got that part right.

There is no "us and them". There is only "us or them".

We have to fight with everything we've got.

We have to create unique, emotional experiences.

How... What are these unique experiences going to be?

A wake up call.

An inciting incident.

Your job is to create narratives, stories,

based on an inciting incident.

Make people care about their culture.

Make Europe care about Europe again.

Is it part of the plan that we won't survive?

Are you willing to sacrifice your life...

to save Europe?

Yes.

I am.

That's why I brought you here.

I wanted to share my experience with you.

Because I noticed it the first time I read your texts.

You stir up emotions.

You stirred up my emotions.

Thomas.

-Good you're here. We must talk. -I heard. I'll speak to him.

-I know he had to be careful, but... -Chris, it's all right.

He's coming!

What?

They're scared of you.

Fear is good.

Keeps us awake.

-I'm scared too. -Oh, yeah?

-Of what? -Have you talked to Ole?

No. What's wrong?

I think he's too fixated on the girl.

He believes in her, as do I.

You're like brothers, but you should keep an eye on him.

-He has no control over his feelings. -He knows what he's doing.

What about you?

Do you know what you're doing?

If you'd waited twelve hours,

Jan would've been exposed without everyone sitting here in fear.

To whom do you want to prove your power? Cato?

Yeah?

OK. Yeah. Just hang on.

Yeah. No, of course.

Okay, tomorrow then.

Fine. Bye.

What the hell are you doing?

-What's happening tomorrow? -Ragna.

Sorry. I just...

What would you do if you were in my position?

No one tells me anything, I'm just bossed around

I don't even know if I'll survive.

Am I just supposed to accept that?

I understand there are rules, but those rules are fucked up.

-Am I a part of this, or what? -I know.

But I can't tell you anything. OK?

Sorry.

Come here. I want to show you something.

Look. This is the IP address you used earlier.

And now...

Now I have sent you a message.

Yeah?

There's nothing here.

No.

It's not there.

But if you look here.

SEARCH:

And click here.

I can make people communicate without knowing it.

I decide what they write and who writes to whom.

All I need is the IP address.

Wow.

Sorry.

-I'm sorry. I... -No, I...

-I just thought that... -Sorry, I...

I just wasn't expecting that.

No, of course not. I wasn't expecting it either.

-I'm sorry. -Hey.

I'm guessing there are rules about this as well.

Not getting distracted.

Yes.

Good night.

Good night.

Tomorrow I'll introduce you.

To Cato?

To a life-changing experience.

Good night.

-Hey. -Come in.

No, I don't want to disturb your family.

There's no one here since my ex-husband moved out, so come on in.

I have some pretty good Barolo if you like.

Actually, with the cork pressed inside.

That's fine.

So he took your wine opener, huh?

Yes. And the wine glasses.

Here.

Cheers.

Sorry.

-Not very ladylike, I know. -No, that's...

I guess I have to drink up my courage.

I could go to jail for this.

You're trying to prevent the world blowing up.

I'll tell that to the prosecutors if this goes to hell.

This is not going to hell.

No.

No, of course not. I didn't mean to...

I'm sorry.

Inger told me about your girlfriend, the informant.

We will all do our best.

Yeah.

-I'm sorry. I didn't... -No, I know. I'm sorry.

I'm... I just...

Do you mind if I just sit here for a while?

No.

Good morning.

Morning.

I have to leave in five and my maid comes in 45 minutes, so...

-I'll be gone by then. -No, it's all right.

Yes?

What?

Shit.

OK, we'll skip the status meeting and go to Böhringer immediately.

I'll hurry.

He disappeared without a trace.

No message to anyone we monitor. Nothing.

We didn't have time to set up his surveillance at all.

As soon as we knew he existed, he was gone.

Wait, Eva.

Do you think it's possible that we have a leak?

-Do you know something? -Do you think it's possible?

Anything is possible.

Who?

I have no idea.

Minister...

To make it really clear, we urgently advise you to cancel

all events with over 1,000 participants today,

for security reasons.

Because a terrorist attack

among 1,000 people isn't mediagenic enough? How cynical.

No, I'm just trying to be realistic.

If it were up to me, we would cancel all events.

Stegemann, what do you say? Can you keep this city safe?

The situation is under control.

Again, just to make clear

why they call Fahdil Al Dabbas The Teacher.

He trained snipers and was himself Saddam Hussein's best sniper.

He can kill someone from two kilometers away.

He completed electrical engineering training in Germany.

That means he can build a detonator out of a toaster.

You don't need to paint the devil on the wall

because you lost a terrorist and twelve kilograms of C4.

We all got it. It's not that complicated.

But I cannot follow your suggested solutions.

One of the events that we consider among the most likely targets

is your public televised debate

with Amira Hamad and Rudolf Hensel tomorrow evening.

-And now you want to scare me too? -No.

But we strongly advise you to cancel the event.

That's the easiest way for you.

While I'll have to deal with a massive shitstorm,

when it later turns out that we canceled

the last important TV debate with the top candidates

because we don't do our job properly.

What kind of logic is that? We're doing our job right now.

Then find the man. Germany will not postpone the election because of you.

Minister...

My main task is security.

-And the threat... -Rainer.

What do you think?

I think we still have some time.

Maybe the situation clears up by tomorrow evening.

In the meantime, we should work on alternative solutions.

Right.

Let's look for alternative solutions.

Thank you.

Shitstorm from the NAD?

Fear of Islamists who were trained in Germany

is exactly what they would crucify him for.

We must inform the other candidates directly about the possible threat.

OK. I'll take care of it.

But don't get your hopes up. They'll all appear.

We wish you a wonderful morning.

Good morning, dear viewers.

Today we'll first look at the eagerly awaited TV debate

between the three leading candidates for the office of Federal Chancellor.

Hi.

According to recent polls,

Interior Minister von Hardenberg of the Conservative Party

is a few percentage points ahead of Social Democrat Amira Hamad.

But Rudolf Hensel, the leader of the New Alternative for Germany,

made significant gains at the expense of the other parties.

Tonight, all three candidates will debate each other

in the Berlin Congress Center.

All three of them are useless.

All three.

And of course they don't dare to let Teupitz participate.

Who is Teupitz?

The number two of NAD.

A true visionary.

Firm. Determined.

But she is the worst of all.

Amira Hamad.

All she represents is the downfall of Europe.

Her mother is Cypriot, her father is Egyptian.

Came to Berlin as a political refugee

after the coup of the Greek military junta in 1974.

Explain to me why this woman

should be the leader of the most powerful country in Europe?

A refugee...

multicultural...

left-wing liberal...

atheist...

feminist...

The leader of a party founded during the industrial revolution.

She has nothing new to contribute. Nothing!

Germany needs a new political wave.

Get dressed. I wanna show you something.

Yes.

I'm just going through the information on the Russians.

There's more than enough there for me to begin working with.

I'm finding names

that I recognize from the Ziminov files from your superiors.

Hey! You're going to focus on one thing, and that's Ragna.

If there's a connection, we can talk about that later. Not now.

Ragna needs you and I need you. That's the deal.

I'm not going to abandon Ragna or Kathi or anyone.

I'm just saying I'm going to go after him. Full force.

This crypto thing means something big is happening. I will find out what.

Wait, hold on. Bye.

Hi!

-Hello. -Hi! How are you?

He told me he was going to buy you a trampoline. Did he?

Yes. I'm going to learn to do a front-flip

-and maybe a handstand. -Cool!

Can you zoom in again, please?

No. Nothing.

Go on. Mr. Secretary of State.

I've informed the candidates.

Let me guess. They want to be on TV.

Those were not exactly her words, but I think that is the truth.

You get all the resources you need.

Even the special forces. That should be enough, right?

Shit.

Hello.

GSG-9 will position four snipers two hours before the candidates arrive.

They should be here in ten minutes.

-Hello. -Hello.

-Can we have one of these? -Yes.

Put this on.

-Whoa, that's big... -Yes.

-Have they all been checked? -All of them.

One of them had an old record for illegal possession of drugs.

We sent him home.

Come on.

Perfect. Send them up. They should check the hall first.

What is Hensel doing here already?

Looks like a rehearsal.

THE TV DUEL ALL THE CANDIDATES - LIVE

Amira Hamad?

Wait here.

-Why? -Just wait here and you'll see.

Amira Hamad will need extra protection tonight.

Hello.

Hi, Dad.

Continue.

Hey!

From up there. The shots came from up there.

It was The Teacher.
