Did we catch a case already?

I haven't even
had my coffee yet.

Murder victim. Tobias Ganz.
75-year-old German national.

What's that
have to do with us?

I was just getting to that.

Katrin, how are you?

It's been a while.
- Too long.

But I'm sure you've
been keeping busy, though.

Scott,
I heard about Legat Dandridge.

Looks like I'm not
the only one who's dealt with,

how do you Americans call it?

Friendly fire?

[chuckles] Yeah.
We're both still standing.

Yes.
How is my replacement doing?

Hanging in there.
Big shoes to fill.

When are we gonna
get that pint?

As soon as you all
get over to Berlin.

This case is interesting.

The main suspect appears
to be an American male.

Appears to be?

I'm still liaising
with Berlin Police,

but so far, we don't have
a name or a face

or much forensic evidence.

However, we do have his voice.

There's an audio recording.

A recording of a murder?

Like I said, interesting.

[indistinct chatter]

Hey, Katrin.

So good to see you all.

This is
Detective Kai Draxler.

He's leading the investigation
for the Polizei Berlin.

Agent Forrester, nice
to finally meet you in person.

Likewise, Detective.
This is Agent Raines,

our Europol liaison,
Megan Garretson.

Rest of our team is getting set
up at the station in Berlin.

Thank you for coming.

Happy to help, but
we are still catching up here.

How is there a recording
of a murder?

You should just
see it for yourselves.

[police radio chatter]

[camera shutter clicking]

- [speaking German]
- [speaking German]

Tobias Ganz, retired
math teacher and widower.

The maid found the body
early this morning,

but Ganz had been dead
for several hours.

- Forced entry?
- A window in the back.

But no signs of a struggle.

75-year-old man
wouldn't have put up

much of a fight anyway.

Security cams?
- None.

But when our officers got here,
they heard a hissing sound

coming
from inside this console.

And that's
when they found this.

Vintage model.

Manufactured in West Berlin.

1970s. Still functional.

It recorded a man
with an American accent

forcing Ganz into the noose.

Our theory is Ganz encountered
the American inside.

He realized he was in danger.

Pressed this buttoned
and triggered the recording.

This is tradecraft.
Old school.

I'm guessing Tobias Ganz wasn't
just a retired math teacher.

He was Stasi.

Just got a file
from Intelligence Analysis

at Europol.

Tobias Ganz was an asset
of the Stasi Secret Police

in East Germany
during the Cold War.

Now, before the Berlin Wall
came down,

the Stasi had a huge network of
informants and collaborators.

East Germans spying on their
family, friends, and neighbors.

A total surveillance state.

The Stasi also had thousands
of spies in West Germany.

Sleeper agents,
most of whom

were never identified
after the Wall came down.

So we think Tobias Ganz
was one of these agents?

It's worse than that.

What is this about?

Indigo.

Indigo was
an elite Stasi spy unit

that went after its opponents
in the West.

Assassinations, torture,
active measures, psy ops.

The stories are disturbing.

We always thought
Indigo was a myth,

a rumor spread by nostalgic,
old men, but now...

Is there any information
on the recording

that could help us
identify the killer?

A total of 23 minutes
on the tape,

but only the first six
are usable.

The rest is too fuzzy
to make heads or tails.

But the audio does confirm

that the American forced Ganz
to hang himself.

And...

You're just the first name
on my list.

Whoever this guy is,
he's not done killing yet.

How did he find Ganz
in the first place?

And why would an American
be targeting old Stasi spies

from the Cold War?

That is
the operative question.

All right, first things
first, we need to identify

our American suspect
solely based off of his voice.

Raines, got any ideas?

[scoffs] Not really,
but I'll give it a crack.

Vo, can you give me a hand?

Jaeger, I need you to get me
everything you can on Indigo.

Reports, cases, files,
no matter how cold.

I know someone who might
be able to help us there.

- Thank you.
- Need some backup?

Always.

Thank you for meeting
with us, Mr. Ballack.

Please call me Simon.

I hear you worked
intelligence for West Germany

before reunification.

Simon was head
of counterintelligence,

a spy hunter.

He's also the reason
I became a cop.

Gave me this when I graduated
from the academy.

Much as I love to reminisce
about the old days,

I don't think
this is a social visit.

It's the old days
we wanted to ask you about.

What can you tell us
regarding Indigo?

Haven't heard that name
in over 30 years.

Oh.

Indigo was a Stasi sleeper unit
operating in West Berlin.

Five-man team. Compartmentalized.

Each member reported up
to his immediate superior,

which meant
only one person ever knew

the identity
of the unit's director,

for Indigo meant
psychological warfare,

the destabilization
of a person's life.

Mind games.

As a start.

Sneak into a target's home,
turn on the stove,

tilt paintings on the wall,

plant evidence of crimes,
break up families.

Rumors circulated Indigo
even went after children.

The Stasi were ruthless.

Efficient.

They never made mistakes.

And Indigo was
the worst of the worst.

Now we spent years
looking for them

but only found
glimmers and ghosts.

What if I told you

we found a member of the unit?

You're joking.

No.

Has--has he admitted to it?

He never had the chance.

He was murdered by an American.

An American? Why?

We need everything
you have on Indigo.

Files, records,
witness reports.

Anything that can help us
find the American's identity

or that of his next target.

Forgive me, but no.

People are still in danger.

I know.

But the past is
a dangerous place.

You know that
as well as anyone, Katrin.

Simon, please.

Fine.

I'll send you what I have.

Thank you.

You're just the first name
on my list.

We've input the recording
in an AI program

developed in Quantico.

It's called Voice2Face.
Still experimental.

It draws correlations between
the voice and facial features--

- Raines.
- I'll skip that part.

Basically, we use the audio
to generate

a CGI reconstruction
of the suspect's face.

- Bollocks.
- I'm serious.

Now we can do
a digital image analysis

running this face
against passports

and visa records of Americans
staying or living in Berlin.

Flippin' FBI! Amazing!

All right, I run it
against anyone with priors.

Five matches now.

Got something.

Paul Kennard. 39-year-old
American from Illinois.

About a dozen minor offenses,
mostly drug-related.

But here's
the interesting part:

Paul Kennard was born
in West Berlin.

- Really?
- He lost

his German citizenship
because he was adopted

by an American Family.

He applied to regain it
two months ago.

Is there a forwarding address
on that application?

It's Kreuzberg District.

An apartment belonging to
a German named Anna Dahns, 35.

She's on probation.
- All right.

Raines, take this one.

You feel like
stretching your legs?

She hasn't paid rent.

Three months.

All this trouble.

This thing has clearly

Hey, we got something.

"Anna, I'm sorry."

Might be from Kennard.

[front door creaking]

Anna?

Anna Dahns?

Hello?

I'm Megan Garrison
with Europol.

I have a few questions for you.

We're looking for an American
named Paul Kennard.

We have reason to believe
that you and he are--

[both grunting]

Stop!

[car horn honking]
- [yelps]

Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey, move!

[speaking German]

That's what a five-minute
mile looks like, by the way.

Get up!

Anna Dahns, you want to
tell us where Paul Kennard is?

[speaking German]

You speak English?

Yes. Piss off!

Oh.

Still not talking?

Mm, she's a tough one.

We're gonna need
to find some leverage.

Anything off her phone?
- Pulled a video of Kennard

and ran it
against the crime scene audio.

The voiceprint is
a full biometric match.

Good work.

There's something else, though.

Paul Kennard and Anna Dahns
are brother and sister.

Paul Kennard and Anna Dahns
are brother and sister.

Now, we don't know who
their birthparents are yet,

but we know that in 1989,
Paul and Anna were orphaned.

Now, the only family
they had left

was a maternal uncle
living in America,

but he refused
to accept both children.

Paul got shipped off
to Illinois,

six years old at the time.

But after his uncle died,

he had a pretty rough shuttle
through the system.

Abuse, addiction, homelessness.

Anna was three
when she got placed

with a family in Hamburg.

She's been in and out of jail
since she was 14.

All right, so brother and
sister got separated as kids.

How'd they find each other?

Anna's phone shows
that they found each other

on an ancestry app
about a year ago.

We're still
missing something.

Kennard reconnects
with his sister

and then comes to Germany to
hunt down ex-Stasi spies? Why?

We still don't know
how he got the names.

West German intelligence
couldn't even find Indigo.

Is Anna helping him somehow?

Might have an answer to that.

Just chased down CCTV

from inside the S-Bahn
nearest the Ganz house.

We were trying to find footage
of Kennard when, lo and behold,

she was within walking distance
of the crime scene

shortly before the murder.

I think we just
found our leverage.

Tobias Ganz,
a retired math teacher.

This was the old man
who was forced into a noose.

By Paul Kennard.

Your brother.

Were you in on it?

Is that why you were
at Ganz's house last night?

I don't know
what you're talking about.

You assaulted
a Europol officer,

and the Berlin Police
have enough

to charge you
with accessory to murder.

So how about we skip the rage
against the machine theatrics

and get to the part
where you tell us the truth?

Why is Kennard
targeting Stasi spies?

If that old man was Stasi,
then he got what he deserved.

And what does Paul deserve
for killing someone

and for you helping him?

You have no idea
what you're talking about.

Enlighten me.

I was trying to stop Paul.

That's why I followed him.

But I got there too late.

Where is he going next?

Your brother left this for you.

He's angry.

I don't know why,
but I do know

that anger destroys
everything in its path.

You need to save Paul
from himself.

If you really care about him,
tell us what's going on.

Why is he doing this?

Because of what
they did to us.

What they did to our father.

Ewald Havertz was
an economics professor

at the University of Berlin.

A critic of communism.

He had a young family...

When it happened.
- When what happened?

Right before the Wall
came down,

Havertz was accused
of harassing a female student.

His wife, Elsa, died in
a drunk driving accident.

I couldn't prove it
at the time,

but it was a covert op.

- Indigo.
- They broke Havertz.

Mentally, emotionally.

And then,
he took his own life.

How did he do it?

He hanged himself
in his own home.

That's right.

Havertz's son, Paul,
found the body.

He was six years old.

I think they had
a little girl as well.

Just three.

All right.
Thank you, Simon.

We'll let you know
if we need anything else.

So here's what I think.

Paul Kennard somehow identified

the five members
of the Indigo unit

and is now hunting them down,

taking revenge for what
they did to him and his family.

Kennard killed Tobias Ganz

in the exact same way
his father took his own life.

If the harassment complaint
was manufactured

as part of a covert op,
then the woman who made it

may have had direct contact
with Indigo.

- On it.
- OK. In the meantime,

let's keep checking
the shelters,

hospitals, and clinics.

Kennard spent half of his life
on the streets.

He knows
how to stay off the grid.

All right, the woman
who accused him of harassment

in 1989 is a professor now.

Dr. Alina Volland.

I can go talk to her.
- Yeah, take Kellett.

Katrin, is everything OK?

Yes, it's just this--

it's just this case
bringing things back.

[sighs]

I grew up in East Berlin,
the wrong side of the wall.

You never told me that.

I remember skipping meals,

stuffing newspapers
in my pajamas

to stay warm
during the winters.

But... we were happy.

Our family was happy...

Until that day my--

my father found a listening
device in our living room.

What happened?

Let's just say I know
exactly how Paul Kennard feels.

[phone buzzing]

Sorry.

Ja?

[conversations in German]

Dr. Alina Volland?

Oh. How can I help you?

Agents Raines
and Kellett, FBI.

What do you want?

To ask you about someone
from your past.

Ewald Havertz.

Um...

Not here, hmm?

Ewald Havertz was my professor.

He was a good man.

Outspoken, passionate.

A fierce critic
of the Soviet system.

And yet,
you accused him of harassment

and stalking in 1989.

Why?
- [sighs]

That fall,
before classes started,

a man approached.

I'd never seen him before,
but he knew my name

and he knew I had a half-sister
in East Berlin.

He said that
if I didn't do what he wanted,

they would send her
to the Hohenschonhausen.

Do you know what that is?
- An East German prison.

The things they did
to the inmates there,

I couldn't let them take her.

So you followed orders?

I ruined a good man's life.

I destroyed his family.

And I've had to live with that
every day since.

So make it right.

Help us find the people
who did this.

The man who approached you,
did you get his name?

Mm, he was too careful
for that.

But I remembered his face.

And ten years ago,
I saw it again.

[lock clicks]

I was reading an article
about a charity fundraiser

when I saw it.

On the far left.

That's him.

The man you're looking for.

Got it.

The charity's records show
our suspect's name

is Michael Berkhoff,
an Austrian financier.

He shot her!

Was this the man
who attacked you?

Mr. Berkhoff?

He was here when we arrived.

Tried to come up from behind.

That's when he revealed a gun.

We fought.

I don't know how it happened.

The gun went off.

The second bullet
was the one...

After that,
he got scared and ran.

Who is he?

The man who killed your wife

is the son of Ewald Havertz.

Oh, mein Gott.

[sighs]

You were Indigo.

[scoffs]
That was a long time ago.

Did you run an operation
on Ewald Havertz?

The one that drove him
to suicide?

I was not in charge.

And Havertz
didn't kill himself.

We did and staged the scene.

It was the same with his--

with his wife before that.

Yeah.

The director
ordered them both removed.

I have no reason
to hide my secrets anymore.

- Who was the director?
- I never knew.

I reported to Tobias Ganz,
second in command.

Tobias Ganz is dead.

Killed by the same man
who shot your wife.

Ganz was the first name
on his list.

[sighs shakily]

I thought
I had left it all behind!

[speaking German]

The Stasi had us
document all operations.

Everything you need.

Target, assets,
the name of the director.

It's all in the file.

[sobbing]

[door creaks]

The Indigo file.
Where is it?

Paul has been using it to
hunt down members of the unit.

That is how he found Ganz.
Does he still have it?

How do you know about that?

Because he just tried
to cross another name

off his list.

Is Paul OK?

You're worried
about the wrong person.

Paul went
after Michael Berkhoff,

but he killed his wife instead.

[scoffs]
That can't be right.

Paul would never do--
- Except he did.

Your brother murdered
an innocent woman.

You have no idea
what he's been through!

He has killed twice now,

one, a woman who had
nothing to do with this.

So if you want a third murder
on your conscience,

you need to help us.

After we found each other,

Paul cleaned up his life.

He got a job,
started saving money.

And six month ago,
he came to Berlin.

We started
researching our history,

and we found out that
our father left us something.

A safety deposit box.

So your father had the file.
That's where he stashed it.

We don't know why he had it,
but that's how we learned

the truth
of what happened to him.

And to us.

And that's where Paul found
all those names.

Before he disappeared,

he gave the file to me
for safekeeping.

Where is it now?

He's the only family
I have left.

Where?

Now, I knew
she wasn't using this thing.

Scanning and digitizing the
pages is gonna take some time,

so we're gonna keep doing this
the old-fashioned way for now.

Vo, what do you got so far?
- The list of Indigo members.

Five Stasi registration numbers
but only four names.

Two died of natural causes.

What about Ganz and Berkhoff?

The file does confirm
that Ganz and Berkhoff

are part of the unit,
which means

there's only one member left:
the director.

That's the only name
we don't have.

Berkhoff said
all the information

we need is in the file.

The director's name
must be somewhere.

The sooner we find it,
the sooner we find Kennard.

- I'm all over it.
- Anna just got a text.

Unknown number.
Message says, "Three minutes."

Raines, get a trace going.

You lied to me.

You're still talking
to your brother.

He's using
burner phones, right?

Call him.
Convince him to come in.

I can't just
hand him over to you.

Anna, we're gonna get
your brother eventually.

Delaying the inevitable
is not gonna get you anywhere.

Call him right now.

Keep him on the phone
long enough

so that we can get a trace.

Two minutes should be enough.

If you want to help your
brother, now is your chance.

Take it,

I'm the last friendly face

that you are ever gonna see.

Paul.

Are you OK?
- I'm OK.

Where are you?

You know
I can't tell you that.

Maybe we can meet somewhere.

I found him.

The director.

Ganz told me his name.

Paul, please,
you need to stop this.

This is the guy who was
in charge of everything, Anna.

What you're doing,
it's not worth it.

Anna--

You need to walk away
while you still can.

You love them.

Anna, I am sorry.

Just go to the police.

You really think
that's gonna do anything?

Nobody cares.

This is the only way.

Just do what I tell you!
This needs to stop!

You killed a man's wife!

No, she wasn't
supposed to be there!

And that's...

H-How do you know that?

The FBI are listening.
You need to get out of Berlin.

Run!

- Did you get a trace?
- No.

I can't just lose him.

Not again.

You already have, Anna.
Your brother's gone.

I was trying to stop you
from going down with him.

Stay with her.

Kennard now has
his final target.

We have to assume
that he is on his way there,

but we don't know
where he's going.

The answer is in this file.

We have about
half the pages scanned

along with auto-translation.

Does anybody have anything?
- Not much.

I've got notes,
operations reports,

interrogation transcripts, expenses.

I mean, just pages and pages

of "Big Brother"-style
doublespeak.

Nothing
identifying the director.

Nothing.

All right.
Everybody, stay on it.

Clock's ticking.

Hey.

I know this is hard,

but I can't do this
without you.

I just needed a moment.

Yeah.

When I was seven,

my father took me
to the Volkspark.

He sat me down on a bench
and told me to wait

while he brought us
hot chocolate,

so that's what I did.

I waited.

By the time my mother found me,
it was already night

and I couldn't feel my hands.

They were so cold.

He abandoned us.
He escaped over the Wall.

I never saw him again.

And my mother was arrested
on suspicion of complicity.

And that was
the end of my family.

Katrin.

I was so angry for so long,

but not at my father.

They broke him.
That's what they did to people.

How did you get out?

My aunt lived in West Berlin

and happened to be
Simon Ballack's maid.

If it weren't for him, then...

[sighs]

Maybe he was right.

The past is a dangerous place.

Maybe that's why I've spent
my whole life running from it.

We are going to get Kennard,
and then I'm going

to make sure everything
Indigo did comes to light.

No more secrets.

Vo's found something.

I think we've been
going at this all wrong.

So the Stasi
documented everything,

but we're looking
for information

they clearly
didn't want anyone to have.

I found two periods

At first, I thought it was
a typo, a random mistake.

The Stasi

Exactly. If you look

but the only person's opinion
I care about...

is yours.

Do you remember how,
after the war,

they took the rubble
of destroyed buildings

and used it to make hills
all over Berlin?

The Schuttberge.

They built two
in the Volkspark.

But by the time I was a girl

and my father
pointed them out to me,

the rubble had already been
covered with natural growth.

They just looked like
another part of the landscape.

My point is,

eventually when I look back,

it's going to be like
you were never there.

Just another piece
of buried history.

Katrin.

Thought you might
want one of these.

Thank you.

It's not a beer, but...

It'll do.

So it's just like
you remember it?
