'Nowhere else works like the cities.

'Beszel...

'.. and Ul Qoma.

'But there are places
where the cities meet,

'where it's hard to observe the borders.'

The dead girl's name is Mahalia Geary.

She lives in Ul Qoma.

She winds up dead in Beszel.

A girl called me from Ul Qoma.

Mahalia is dead because
she found out the truth.

Orciny, a golden city without
restriction, without borders.

Jesus Christ, look where
you're going, will you?

Who is she?

Your wife, last seen on Gunterstrasz.

I guess you don't know
about the other one...

Yolanda Stark.

- Mahalia's friend.
- No-one's seen Yolanda for a while.

No-one can reach her.

What's through there?

That's a newly discovered section.

Very unsafe at the moment,
so there's no access.

They let her work in
the closed-off section.

Do you think you can get me in there?

Orciny is real. They invite you.

Kriserai!

'Orciny. Katrynia thought
you could go there.

'You wait.

'They find you.

'But not me.

'I'm a cop.'

- Gerit ga-la!
- San-dakh!

All right, all right!

St-redakh!

St-redakh! St-redakh! St-redakh!

Arghhh!

~

I'm interested in archaeology.

Yeah, yeah. More or less.
I'm a police officer.

I'm here helping with an
international investigation.

- ~
- ~

Chief Inspector Dhatt.

Chief Inspector Dhatt!

~

Sorry.

OK, all right.

OK, all right!

'This was Ul Qoma, so I unsaw
familiar Beszel streets.

'But really, I was still in
that ancient underground chamber.

'I was seeing an ark sailing
towards a distant island citadel.

'Orciny.'

I'm sorry, I don't understand.

We have a problem, my friend.

Suicide is illegal in Ul Qoma.

She just had too much of that stuff
that they give tourists in the bar.

OK? And then she slipped.

You're seeing her. Romantically.

Yeah.

Yeah, I am. Yeah, so...

Happy ending, then?

~

Thank you.

Is there anybody you want
to call, or anything?

Mind if we keep this to ourselves?

Well, us and the Ul Qoma Militsya.

How come you were in the wrong
place at the right time?

I was just, um... I was just
winding down at the end of the day.

- You know?
- Sorry I spoilt your evening stroll.

Look you, er... You got drunk
and you fell into the canal.

That happens, doesn't it?

I didn't fall.

Falling isn't a crime.
But the other thing is.

You tell a pretty story anyhow.

I know some people like sad endings.

I mean, they say they don't, but they do.

I've never understood that.

I like mine to be happy.

You know, you're going to... You'll
have a sore head in the morning.

Being a cliché hurts more.

Falling for the guru like
I'm some little groupie?

- You're smarter than that.
- Clearly not.

"Our comic flesh".

I'd like to think it was more than that.

Well, he's a lucky man.

Not really.

After tonight's little show,
I'm just an embarrassment,

a nuisance...

- Maybe you should do it after all.
- What's that?

Arrest me.

Well, I er... I left
my cuffs at home, so...

Thank you.

What the fuck, Borlu!

Where is she? Where's the girl?

The girl is on the way
home to Mum and Dad.

She's lucky she's not in detention.

You're a piece of work.

- I should have told you.
- You should have told me?!

You broke the terms of our agreement!

I'm not one of your illegals!

You know, your possible deportation
may be beyond my control.

There's a limit on how
much I can protect you.

~

~

Dhatt, we need to speak to
Bowden, find Yolanda.

Your visa expires tomorrow, Borlu.

Why is this case so important to you?

When did she stop being
"Unknown Corpse 101"?

It's personal, isn't it?

Mobile to mobile costs a
fortune so this better be good.

"Right-wing Besz politician
cosies up to US entrepreneur"?

What's that about?

Listen, just talk. This place is porous.

Major Syedr and Mike
Gorse, CEO of Sear and Core.

What, the mining company?

They made a mint on the Coltan market,

but left a trail of corpses
in the Congo. It was serious.

It's weird, right? In bed with the
Yanks isn't Syedr's party line.

Well, maybe the Major plays all sides.

So, did you pick up anything
specific? Bowden? The Bol Ye'an dig?

No, not yet. Any sign of Yolanda?

No.

I've got to go.

Time for a bollocking.

- Be safe.
- Yeah, you too.

Indian OK?

It's a bit early for that, isn't it?

Breakfast like a king, dine like a pauper.

Don't want to confuse the
body's circadian rhythms.

That's how you get fat.

Dr David Bowden? Senior
Detective Qussima Dhatt.

Inspector Tyador Borlu, ECS, Beszel.

~

We met once. Do you remember?

Did we?

Yeah.

What I want to know, officers,

is what are you going to do to protect me?

Protect you from what?

I think you know, don't you?

Mahalia Geary, now Yolanda.

Looks like anyone with a connection
to the third city is being targeted.

Third city? You're talking Orciny.

Well, the doctor is the guiding light.

He started it all.

If anything, Orciny is more of a challenge

in these oppressive times.

You must be very upset.

About Mahalia. Now Yolanda too.

Of course I am very upset.
We all are extremely upset.

Where were you the night she was killed?

You're not honestly
telling me I'm a suspect?

We are speaking to everyone
connected to Mahalia Geary.

We took a look at that
restricted area of the dig.

What's going on down there?

Early days. Difficult to say.

Very heavy security.

Must be sensitive.

Everything is sensitive in this city.

We have to be careful.

Industrial pollution threatens
heritage sites globally.

So, that's what you think it is?

A major Ul Qoman heritage site?

Did I say Ul Qoma? I'm
no politician, Inspector.

Mahalia was one of the few people
who could get in there, wasn't she?

So, what you knew, you
must have been close.

What is it about your line of
questioning that sounds so familiar?

Mahalia was a handful,
she could be tricky.

Perverse, even.

Did you have an affair with her?

I'm not sure that's the right word.

- What is the right word? - I had to
end it -- whatever you want to call it.

- Because?
- Because of her bullshit.

She forgot that she was the apprentice.
Perhaps I was too open with her.

So, you had an argument. Then what?

Yeah, and then... Then she left.

This was the night she went missing?

Look, I've been completely honest.

Her ego was a little bruised, that's all.

It wasn't a bruised ego that killed her.

So did you go looking for her?

She made it very clear that she
didn't want me chasing her.

She was more angry than upset.

Mahalia was...

She was intelligent.

She had a future as a scholar of Orciny.

An unaccountable city beyond Breach?

They're dangerous ideas to be put
into someone's head, aren't they?

Aren't they?

The idea of Orciny has always
threatened the authorities.

There's a price for speaking the truth.

Is that what you think happened to her?

To Mahalia. That she paid that price?

Now I know where we met!

Katrynia had time for my dangerous talk.

We all miss Kat.

Well, my wife's got nothing
to do with this investigation.

- Are you sure about that?
- What do you mean?

It means that I'm feeling
victimised. Excuse me.

I'm due at the Bol Ye'an dig.

Whoa!

I'm sure you'll take care
of the cheque, won't you?

He's playing us.

I think Bowden was right.

I think you were victimising him.

- What?
- Your wife... and him?

That's personal.

Maybe your personal makes you
the wrong man for the job.

- Maybe it makes me the right guy.
- He's an obvious target.

He could be in danger, Borlu.

Don't you fall for that.

Not you.

Can't you see he's hiding
something about Mahalia?

Look, he said he was going
to the Bol Ye'an dig.

We can search his apartment.
Did you get the warrant?

They make me wait.

Thanks to your recent activities,

we're being tracked by the authorities.

I thought you were the authorities.

Welcome to Ul Qoma.

I'll see what I can do.

- Hello?
- 'The key's not working.'

Er, I'll come down, yeah?

- 'It's OK, I'm in.'
- Right.

- Hey!
- Hey.

I'll get the rest of it, eh?

There is no rest of my stuff.

- These OK up there?
- Er, yeah, yeah.

That's... That's your shelf.

Is this all there is?

This is it.

I don't miss what I haven't got.

I guess I, er... I collect things, so...

I can see that.

You're a nest maker, aren't you?

- Got a couple of hangers?
- Sure, yeah.

I've only got wire ones, I'm afraid.

There's a T-shirt, with
a girl holding a gun,

and underneath it says, "Needs coffee."

Sorry?

I need coffee!

Oh, right!

I can do that.

- The hangers?
- Yeah, sure!

Thanks.

So, this is all right?

We're OK, I've got the warrant.

Hey, stay back.

Maybe it's just a warning.

Maybe they were looking for something.

Yeah. Or maybe he's
just destroying evidence.

Oh, drop it, Borlu!

Just admit it, he was a target.

What's this... Home movies?

India 1983.

It isn't Ul Qoman.

No...

Not Besz either.

It's similar to the
things I saw in the cave.

Look, can you not call this in right now?

This is trespass. I
don't have authorisation.

So...

Yeah, sure.

Trespass? Why? I thought
you had a warrant.

Ah, my mistake.

It's a menu of the local Thai.

Let's hope Bowden is safe.

Professor?

Where's David Bowden?

~

- Where is he?
- I don't know.

We've just come from
David Bowden's apartment.

Oh, my God. What happened?

Is he OK?

This was written on the wall.

There was other stuff.

They're exactly the same signs as
I saw written in the caves here.

They're similar, I mean...

Who would use signs like this? Now, today?

Today?

No-one.

Well, somebody is.

That can't be true. I mean...

Could people connected to
Orciny be doing this here?

I need to know!

All get out now!

It was for Bowden.

The device was in a package
that came from outside Ul Qoma.

It was sent via a Beszel post office.

You were lucky, Aikham.

Not like the post room boy.

Are you sure it came from Beszel?

Maybe it came from some place else?

- Like where? What are you talking about?
- Some place worse.

What?

There are people. They have secret powers.

All right, Aikham.

- Aikham. Hey. Why don't
you give me your number? - ~

~

- Secret powers? - Safe
trip home, Inspector. - Home?

I've not finished my work here yet.

Well, maybe you have.

Ede dekhefre.

What was that?

They want to close the dig down.

Interview the various heads of faculties.

Maybe repatriate foreign nationals.

It's a bit heavy-handed, don't you think?

This isn't Beszel. We police our own.

A bomb from who knows where,

and whatever's going on here
threatens the security of Ul Qoma.

Don't you think it's interesting
that your people, my people,

everybody, they want this case shut down?

They want to... They
just want to wrap it up.

- They're scared.
- So am I.

- What if it's real?
- What?

Secret city shit?

I'm sorry, I can't go there.

That's what Bowden believed.

He believes that. And
now... Now, he's missing.

Mahalia, maybe Yolanda, Kat...

They...

That's what they have in common.

So maybe we need to start believing
it, just to find out what happened.

We need to speak to that
guard, Aikham, today.

We just need to keep it between ourselves.

Sure.

You're police, I'm police.

Who gives a fuck what
my boss is telling me,

- or what your boss is telling you?
- Come on.

How bad's the food in that place?

The hotel?

Disgusting.

Well, no worse than any other hotel.

Want to come back and see the dogs?

I'm sorry?

Come meet my significant euphemism?

Well... Are you sure?

No Ul Q Fusion, I promise.

I'd like that.

Innovate.

Inspire.

Excite.

Change.

Sear and Core R&D.

Innovate.

You should try vapes while
the jury's still out on them.

Sorry.

You know, I think my place in
Beszel backs onto this square.

- I hope you're not doing what
I think you're doing. - Well...

"When in Ul Qoma, see Ul
Qoma". It's just, um...

It's weird.

You and I on opposite
sides of the same square.

Yeah, that's weird.

Let's go.

Kitde, elzda?

Ah, there you are!

Please meet Inspector Tyador Borlu
of the Besz Extreme Crime Squad.

- Hello.
- Hi.

It's three in Ul Qoma.

Klassniko, Borlu?

See? I did my homework.

Please make yourself at home.

Is this your first time
in Ul Qoma, Tyador?

Yes, my first time in a long time.

And how are you finding it?

Well, um...

.. I like it very much.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Sit.

I hope it isn't too spicy for you.

Looks beautiful.

So... How's the case going?

There is no case.

Just a series of implausible
events that don't make any sense,

with a dead girl at the end of it.

Why is it always a dead girl?

The type of thing my wife would say.

You're married?

Can't you tell?

Oh, yeah.

I know almost nothing
about the girl who died.

You never ask.

She was 24, wasn't she?

- Mm-hm.
- My age.

Well, not quite.

- Almost...! - She just loves
to make me look very old.

I do.

Coffee?

That'd be great, thank you.

- I would love a coffee.
- I'll make some.

It's been a lovely evening, thank you.

And Yallya, she's, um...

Well, you're very lucky.

I need you to back off a
bit. Give me some slack.

This is coming from the very top.

Your secret city shit is
going to evoke Breach.

- They'll shut us down.
You know that. - Yes, OK.

- Yeah?
- Mm!

I'll back off.

I promise.

It's your wife in the
photograph? Her and Bowden.

Yeah.

She had a thing with him years before.

But I know they met up the
night she went missing.

What do you think happened?

I don't know.

She just disappeared.

At Gunterstrasz.

Gunterstrasz... It's Desensie.

I never stopped looking.

But then they took me off
the case, invoked Breach.

I'm just... supposed to stop looking.

I hoped she was here in Ul Qoma,
having a different life, but now...

.. I don't know. I don't,
I don't know. I don't know.

There are other reasons for people
to disappear, near Desensie.

If Bowden is to be believed.

Two years.

This was a good idea.

What's he doing in Beszel?

Borlu.

What do you want to do?

We can't just leave.

- Yes, we can. We can go.
- Why?

Seriously. It was a
long time ago, wasn't it?

He looks different.

Here we go.

- Katrynia?
- Hey, you.

You haven't changed a bit.

Oh, yes, I have.

This is my husband.

Hello, husband.

Sorry! Tyador.

- David.
- Borlu.

I'm sure we've met...

No, I don't think we have.

What are you doing in Beszel?

Slumming it, I guess.

Beszel is so amazing.

So real.

Sorry. This is Sariska.

- Hey.
- Hi.

Sariska has written the
most fascinating thesis

that might interest you.

"Orciny -- Inner Path to Outer Reality".

How cool.

So cool.

Can I have another one of those, thanks?

- Is that a Klassniko
you're drinking? - Yeah.

Classic.

Join us for a drink?

Oh, no, looks like you're
having a private celebration.

Two years.

- No!
- Yes.

Join us. Please.

All right. Twist my
arm, we'll have a drink.

- What would you like?
- Oh, anything for me.

No, you have to choose, darling.

Have a prosecco.

It's nice.

- OK.
- I'll have one, too.

So, that's why you left us.

Found true love in your home of Beszel.

I won't pretend I don't
miss those days sometimes.

You can come back any time.

I teach at Beszel Poly.
It's very rewarding.

I'm sure it is.

David's quite the firebrand.

Was.

Back in my days at Berkeley.

Now I'm a kind of academic curiosity
up for hire for US multinationals.

Cult status.

What's your line, Borlu?

I'm a cop.

Really?

You're a policeman?

Tyad works with the
Besz Extreme Crime Squad.

Oh, I... I never would have thought...

I mean, that is strange...

Yeah, she's slumming it.

We're very happy.

Well, I'm very pleased.

You might as well mix
me another one of them.

Are you still with Ul Qoma University?

Yes, my official title is
Corresponding Lecturer.

But they're not stupid
enough to give me a real job.

I have no tenure.

- Because of the book?
- Mm.

Still?

David postulated the idea that,
when the old commune split,

it split into three.

He imagined a hidden colony,

a spontaneous city filled
with light without constraints.

Like... Like an orgasm!

An orgasm?

You've heard of them, right?

I'm speaking figuratively, of course,

but it isn't some mythic place.

It only feels like it

because we've learned to look
the wrong way for so long.

Orciny exists.

We... We may even be
able to go there one day.

You get invited.

They find you, right?

Yeah.

Yeah, that's it exactly.

When in Beszel, see Beszel.

'It doesn't matter where she is.

'Here, there, then, now.

'I can never unsee Kat.

'In any time.

'In any city.'

When in Beszel, be Beszel.

'Welcome to our new
state-of-the-art facility

at Sear and Core.

Be they the craftspeople
of India and Ireland,

or the engineers and miners of the
great continent, we celebrate...

- Can I help you?
- Yeah.

Here to see Mr Gorse.

I don't have anything down here.

That's strange. Mike was adamant.

Mike?

Mike. Mike Gorse.

- Could you give me a second
to sort this, please? - Mm.

.. not hiding behind walls
and artificial barriers.

As a young man, he travelled to India

on a trip that would change his life.

The answers did not lie in big business,

but in learning from indigenous
people around the world.

He left Berkeley, and joined Sear and Core

with a mission to make it a friend
of communities across the globe,

bringing their wisdom to the world,

helping young people everywhere
to innovate, inspire and dream.

I firmly believe the maxim,

"The man who dies rich dies disgraced."

You need to leave.

- Yeah, OK.
- Let's go.

I got those Besz dumplings, Chief.

Our American friends
aren't very friendly at all.

Call me later.

I've got to go.

Be safe.

Yeah, you'll back off.

Aikham's on that bus. I know
he's not telling us everything.

Get in, or we lose him.

I knew he'd lead us somewhere bad.

Well, it looks like he's got
quite a few mouths to feed.

It's me.

Yolanda?

- Politsya!
- Yolanda. I'm Borlu!

He hasn't done anything!

I know it was you that went
to meet Mahalia's father.

So you're a good man.

Please!

Look, I'm here to help. I
don't want to hurt anybody.

All right, off you go. All right?

- Are you OK?
- Yolanda?

- ~
- ~

What do you want?

All right!

- I'm here to help you.
- They're Unifs... It's all Unifs.

All right.

Just calm down. Why
don't we put those down?

Let's go in there.

They're all Unifs, for fuck's sake!

Mahalia.

Was she part of this gang?

Like you care.

She wasn't one of us.

She didn't give a fuck about unification.

She was just into weird fantasy shit.

No phones, man!

Right, look. I'm turning it off.

And you. Take the battery out.

- Take the battery out!
- You stay cool.

OK.

Yolanda, you need to
contact your parents, OK?

- They need to know you're safe.
- I can't do that.

They're looking for me.

You know what happened to
Mahalia. They want to kill me.

Because the powers don't want us unified.

Because they're protecting themselves.

So, who are they?

Orciny.

Mahalia was helping them.

She... They...

They wanted something.

And these people from Orciny, did
Mahalia say that she trusted them?

I asked her, "How do you
know Orciny's on our side?"

And she laughed at me. Said,
"I don't, they're not."

It's bullshit.

That's how they rule.

- It's a concept.
- How do you stay hidden for centuries?

An ideal of unity.

She got it wrong, you got it wrong...

They never went away.

OK, look, um...

You all need to get justice
for your friend, don't you?

They will kill everyone who
brings attention to them.

Breach took her.

- They'll come for you too.
- Breach are nothing.

Orciny rules over everything.

They're everywhere!

Look, I'm going to help you.

But you have to tell me everything
you know about Mahalia and Orciny.

OK.

I need to get her out of
here because she's not safe.

If I've found her, other people can.

If I can get her home, I can get
false papers and I can protect her,

I can protect her properly.

I am taking the lot of them down.

No, because then she won't
trust me, and I will lose her.

This is a rat's nest.

Very fucking illegal in my world.

- I've got a life. You don't.
- No.

I need her.

I can't just walk away from this, can I?

I can't! Now, I need her
and I need you to help me.

Please.

That was a coincidence, wasn't it?

Don't do that to me.

I didn't know he was in Beszel.

No secrets, though, eh?

Secrets are how couples survive, Tyad.

That's not how we are, is it?

I just... After meeting
David after so long,

I just remembered who I was...

Who you were.

The girl that slipped from him.

- That was your story.
- No, you slipped, Kat, remember?

He showed me something impossible,
and said we could make it real.

And he... He got me
through some dark nights.

He's a fraud, and it's not real
anyway. Kat, this isn't you.

You're wrong, Tyad. This is me.

What you see,

this is what I've become
when I stop looking.

The whole business is built round Gorse.

Real personality cult stuff.

Berkeley fails him.

He takes off on a trip to India,
on a quest for higher learning.

Comes home, turns...

Just back up. So, what,
he went to Berkeley?

Class of '82, failed to complete.

Right.

Bowden went to Berkeley as well.

What's the connection?
Syedr, Gorse, Bowden,

your wife.

Orciny's the connection.

Been away too fucking long, Chief.

Come home.

Be safe.

You too.

'Trust in Breach.

When in Beszel, be Beszel.

Hey, it's time. Let's go.

- I'm coming too. - No, you're not
coming too, you're staying here.

Tell him.

I'll call you.

From Beszel.

And I'll bring you to America.

I promise.

Hey, let's go. Move! Come on!

Now!

Pyede sig fder. Pyede sig fder.

Brakhna.

Come on.

There's clothes in the back.

Get out of your old rags
and into the uniform.

Just put them on, princess!

Come on, put them on.

I told you. I got a life.

Yolanda!

- Yolanda!
- No!

Yolanda!

Yolanda!

Come on out.

All right, come on.

You get to leave this place.

Right, OK. When we get to the
check point, stay close to me, OK?

Get that stuff on.

Go.

I wish...

I wish I'd been a better
friend to Mahalia.

It wouldn't have made any difference.

I was her best friend.

I should have helped her.

Did you see her that night?

She found it.

Found what?

She made contact with Orciny.

Contact with Orciny. Contact with whom?

She found it.

They recruited her.

She said she had to deliver things.

What things?

Messages, information...

- Like an initiation.
- Why hadn't she met these people?

They told her to wait, and...

.. they'd invite her
when the time was right.

She made a mistake.

Maybe she was too impatient.

Let's get out.

Come on. Good girl. Let's go.

I was scared. I wasn't thinking!

- Keep moving. - What's that? - Just
walk ahead. - They know, don't they?

Just go, go. Go slow.

Excuse me. Thank you.

As soon as you get through there,
you'll see a young police officer,

a woman, and you head straight
for her. Do you hear me?

- Yes.
- Good.

She's calling you now, go! Go!

~

'Visas must be shown.

Anyone without a visa...

Papers?

Move along.

'This is border control.

You are crossing into Ul Qoma.

Have your papers ready.

OK, you made it. You're safe now.

You're safe, yeah?

Stay there.

Yolanda!

Fuck!

Secure the crime scene!

This is border control.

I've left something in the car, sorry.

I need to go back.

Thanks.

Afrime passan.

Stay with him.

When in Beszel, see Beszel.

No, not me.

No! Corwi!

The bullets at the checkpoint
had stayed in Beszel.

The membrane between
the cities had stayed intact.

No breach.

and realities is at its thinnest.

I'm Inspector Tyador Borlu.

I'm from the Beszel Extreme Crime Squad.
