PREVIOUSLY ON CITY OF BLOOD

I came back to Berlin because I could sense a new era,

the era of light, has begun for us.

In here, we can live like them.

We aren't like them.

Phoebe. Please answer the phone. We can't postpone the appointment.

I'll look for Phoebe.

And the legalizing? Can you do it?

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

Aufbruch Berlin refuses the offer your party has put forward.

We strongly reject the coalition. Thank you.

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

Let me go. You have to.

They're looking for me. Bea Hoffmann is my sister.

Daughter of the Secretary of Construction.

You think someone will miss you?

Shh.

You're Bea. I'm Yassin. I'm a friend of Phoebe's.

I won't hurt you, okay?

I'm gonna let you go, but if you scream, they'll find us, okay?

Fuck.

I sent the video.

You did that?

-Do you know where she is? -No.

I'm sorry. My brother, Farid, he worked for them too.

He disappeared three months ago. I've been looking for him since.

He's not the only one.

The Batvia Clan is involved. I'm sure of it.

Where are we?

What's all that blood for?

It's some kind of illegal blood bank.

I have no idea where we are.

-Fucking battery. -There's no reception in here anyway.

Thanks.

Shift change is at 7:00 a.m. It'll be empty for a few minutes.

Bea, what are you doing?

Bea, I...

I checked that out already. You can't go through there.

What if Phoebe and your brother are here?

How long until the shift change?

Still gonna be a while.

I can fit through there.

What do you want from me?

You've seen us.

You're staying here for now.

No.

You should look at this.

Recorded last night in one of your shops.

-Who is that? -Bea Hoffmann.

Daughter of the Secretary of Construction.

She's looking for her sister, Phoebe, a runner for your man, Pit Zocha.

She showed up before with the cops.

Where is this Phoebe?

She was your guest yesterday.

-The... the one Moderson took with him. -Yeah, I remember.

I am sorry. Access denied.

I am sorry. Access denied.

Welcome to the Dome.

Excuse me.

It's nice that you made it.

How is it?

Good.

They want domes in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Nairobi, and Lagos.

-I don't want to interrupt you. -What do you mean?

You should come and join us. Your mother would love that.

You know, I'm tracking down a young woman, late twenties.

One of yesterday's guests.

You seen her?

I don't think so. I'm sorry.

I ask because...

she was seen getting into your car.

Tell me where she is.

-The girl is my problem now. -She saw us.

I would say she's our problem.

What do you want from her?

To keep her alive?

I think you've gotten too much sun.

Don't they need you over there?

She's in his apartment. Take care of it.

I'm going in.

-Bea, are you sure? -Yeah.

They could be back at any moment.

-What if the door there is locked? -I'll find a way out.

Okay, then give me your number.

There.

-You okay? -Yeah.

Bea.

Bea, come on!

-Bea, they're gonna be back soon! -Yeah, just a second.

-Bea! -Yeah.

It's locked.

Attention, visitors and residents.

Within the Climate Dome, security and mutual respect...

-Shit. -Are top priorities.

Please uphold these values to maintain a safe and harmonious environment.

Honestly, I don't understand your request.

We've already arranged for a second doctor.

We're tying up half of our staff. The appointment has been set for months.

Are you there?

I understand the problem this causes,

but could we move the appointment two or three weeks?

I'm not sure you understand the seriousness of the situation.

-We're not talking hair appointments. -Any news from Phoebe?

If your daughter and the donor don't show up tomorrow,

-you'll have to officially... -No, we'll be there tomorrow.

-I appreciate it. Bye. -Okay. See you then.

Sorry, my phone died.

It isn't my concern where you've been.

I just want you to get some rest before the surgery.

Phoebe isn't the only one who's gone missing.

If we don't do something, if we don't find her,

there won't be a surgery.

Carl officially reported her missing.

MOM - Where are you? Please answer Worried about you, get in touch

Phoebe will be there tomorrow.

She knows how important this is.

YASSIN - Are you okay? Get in touch!

Let's meet later, want to show you something.

We have to talk. When?

Ready?

Yeah.

Now.

Did you know that the Batvia Clan delivers blood to the Dome...

and stores it there?

-Who's saying that? -I saw it.

I was there. There's a blood bank underneath the Dome.

-What the hell were you doing there? -Looking for Phoebe.

I feel like it has something to do with her going missing.

-How is she involved? -I don't know.

Good question. She's working for them.

Why would there be an illegal blood lab there?

A clinic for the super rich?

Now.

Sorry.

Did you know about it?

Your department allowed that thing to be built.

The building, yes.

But we're not responsible for whatever goes on.

Get some rest.

We have to talk. When? 7:00 p.m.

Hey, Bea. It's Yassin.

I sent you the meeting place, but be careful.

They found out you were at the arcade. They're having you watched.

They can't find out we know each other. See you later.

I apologize. He shouldn't have done that.

Out!

You're injured.

Get out, you freak.

Okay.

-Yes? -That was unnecessary.

He's dead.

You don't seem to understand the problem. Her sister's starting to get on my nerves.

You know who she is?

The daughter of the Secretary of Construction. And a journalist.

I'll keep an eye on her, which is for your benefit as well.

Your blood supply is one thing.

But if they discover what you're really up to down there,

your greenhouse will be history.

You believe if you kill one sister,

the other will end her search, or do you want to kill them both?

That's your call to make.

Again, temperatures up to 41 degrees

are expected today in Berlin,

as the election cycle also enters a heated phase.

Currently, Hilda Klein still leads in the polls.

But an absolute majority seems unlikely.

Whether newcomer Oliver Lawal becomes part of the government remains to be seen.

They're still not here.

Does he know a photographer's gonna be there?

The people we're trying to reach

don't give a damn about what he looks like.

There's time to call this off.

-Yeah... -Hold on.

What's this?

"My little brother, I am so incredibly proud of you."

Did Stella write this? You kidding?

This just isn't... These aren't his words.

We're just trying to avoid any more surprises here.

We can't have a repeat of what happened in Parliament.

How often will you bring that up?

Sometimes you just can't control your emotions.

At least I have emotions.

-Glad you were able to come. -Mr. Lawal.

Hi. Follow me.

-Hello. -Hello.

For good luck. Here we go.

-Bro! -Good stuff.

Police!

WE HAVE TO ACT!

Dude, I thought you'd leave me hanging again.

Oh, shit. Sorry.

My little brother, I'm so very proud of you.

All of us here are proud of you.

That one of us would make it this far, right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, all right, all right.

Just talk normally. He's just doing photos, no video. Yeah?

Can I introduce you?

-This is my older brother. -Take my picture.

-Photo. -Oh, yeah, that's good.

You got so skinny, huh? Can that wife cook or what?

She doesn't have to cook, dude.

-Such a rare treat. In my humble abode. -Hello.

Yeah, let's go.

You still got it in that fancy suit. Can't take the street out of you, bro.

All right, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. Here we go.

He only wears Prada.

Out of the suit. Boys, make some room for my little bro, yeah?

-Doesn't need as much room. -Out of the way.

Cheese!

I assume you'll sell that.

-If it were anyone else... -Let's pose.

-There's a good photo op. -One for the photo.

Oliver?

-Yeah. -What did Ollie do now?

-Keep going. -Couple of photos.

He's in trouble.

I just got this picture from my father. Did you approve it?

We're all done, right?

-A few more. -Absolutely.

CRUSH THE ELITES

Get pictures of the better-looking man.

-Yeah. Yeah. -Why didn't I know about this?

Bro, let's get a few photos. That's why you're here.

-I can't talk now. -Come here. Executive chair for you.

-I'd say beard up, but he hasn't got one. -He couldn't grow one.

Stella? Yeah, I know. I just saw it.

You want another round?

Not in the photos, man. Come on.

"Crush the elites"?

Now he wants to win over voters from the far right and far left.

I wonder what his wife's family thinks of that.

Where is he getting all of this money to fund this populist nonsense?

I have to go. See you tomorrow.

What is this, Laura?

Five minutes. The kids are waiting.

So you know nothing?

The people in the Dome pay handsomely for housing and excellent health care.

I've no idea about any kind of blood banks built underground.

Why did they want to avoid a building inspection back then?

I was only the middleman. I'm glad I got away from those people.

So did Bea's transplant work out? Was the money enough?

Yeah. Also, I'm gonna give you some advice. Stay away from this.

And don't contact me ever again.

MISSING. BERLIN Send me a DM if someone you know is missing

Hello, Ms. Hoffmann, this is Sara Paoli.

I handle guest bookings for Talks with Hermes Albrecht on BFA.

I'd like you to appear on the talk show tomorrow.

The theme is, "How risky is Berlin?"

And after your protest and the huge response,

we believe you could offer some interesting perspective.

Please call me back at this number.

Oh, yeah?

Well, my sister isn't the only one who's missing.

Mm-hmm. Well, if that's possible.

Then I'll just send you an e-mail. I can put something together.

Yeah, cool.

Good, thanks. See you tomorrow, then.

Watch where you're going.

Yassin?

There's two people following me.

What if they see us together? I'd better go now.

I'm right in front.

Yeah, okay.

-Hi. I... Ali? -Yeah.

-I'm here for Yassin. -In the back, in the kitchen.

Hey!

Let's go.

They're here. They just came in.

Guys at the door are friends. They'll make sure nobody gets in.

But we gotta go.

Come on.

Why was this major campaign change not discussed with me?

Who even financed it?

"Crush the elites"? That stupid slogan's everywhere.

Not to mention the coalition rejection. We have five weeks till the election.

This is crazy. Did you advise him on this?

If you want me to continue my job here, then I have to be in the loop.

-Let's discuss this together, all right? -Stella.

Thanks for waiting. Taxi was great, took forever.

Stella wants to know why she wasn't told about the new campaign.

And first impressions?

You're aware that if we come across as too radical, it scares people.

And scared people won't vote for us.

And how are the voters reacting?

Extremists on the right and left see this as good,

but it's rattled the centrists.

Taking a hard line is something we have to discuss.

Thank you, Stella. Give us a few minutes, okay?

-We have to be more careful. -Yeah. Thank you, Stella.

I thought we were a team.

Yeah, I did too.

Why exactly did you withhold Moderson's offer from me?

Oh, this is his idea.

Is he dictating the strategy of our campaign?

No, he's financing it.

And to be honest, he's been doing it the whole time.

He alone is...

ninety percent of our backing.

That is total bullshit.

Our entire campaign is being financed by one person.

Do you know what that means?

If anyone finds out, then the opposition's the least of our worries.

He... he also believes in me and my vision.

What's your vision? To "crush the elites"? That's absolute shit.

We... we have the upper hand. And I want to keep it that way.

We know nothing about him.

Now I need to discuss with Stella how we handle this strategically.

CRUSH THE ELITES

Okay, that's good.

Oliver! The new campaign's ready.

Perfect. Now move that thing out of here.

-Crush the elites, right? -That's great.

Move that thing out of here!

You heard him.

Come in.

You want water?

Um... no, thank you.

If they find out I'm looking for Farid, I'll disappear.

MISSING

So many of them, that's not a coincidence.

These are just the ones reported.

There's probably a ton we don't even know about yet.

Internet's full of names too.

Nobody seems to care.

Is that him?

-Yeah, that was last year on his birthday. -And your parents?

Farid is my family.

So do you have a photo of Phoebe?

-I need one for the talk show tomorrow. -Absolutely, yeah.

Uh, but tell me, what was behind the door?

What'd you see there?

The blood bank, it's right below the Dome.

-Below the Dome? -I came out right in the middle of it.

And down there was some kind of storage system for blood bags,

with numbered compartments, like A24, B something.

I... I wrote it down, hang on.

When did the Dome officially open?

Uh, six months ago. In February.

My mom wants to talk to me, she says it's important.

She's picking me up.

April. April. May. Missing since March.

March. This one in March.

They all disappeared in the last six months.

Do you think the missing have to do with the blood bank?

What are you doing here?

Meeting a friend.

-They live here? -Thanks for picking me up.

I parked around the corner.

I heard you're gonna be on Albrecht's show tomorrow.

Yep.

We're in the middle of a campaign, a little heads-up would've been nice.

You know now.

You're not doing it.

Yes, I am, to find Phoebe.

Fine.

But don't talk about politics. And nothing about the Dome.

Are you talking to me as a mother or as a politician?

You don't get it, do you?

Phoebe has disappeared like so many others.

And I think something happened to her,

and it has something to do with the Dome.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Bea.

Bea!

-Hi. -Hey.

Think I can stay here overnight?

It's not always easy having a politician for a mom.

Yeah, sure. Come in.

-Thanks. -No worries.

Let me go.

Please.

I have to go to the hospital.

My... my sister's getting my kidney, and...

Um... it's my fault that she's sick in the first place. If we...

if we don't do the surgery, she won't live much longer.

I wish I could help you, but I can't allow that.

I'll come... I'll come right here after, and you can do whatever you want.

But I have to go.

It isn't that simple.

She's looking for you and she's asking questions.

Yeah, well, if... if it's a problem that she's looking for me, then why...?

Look, just let me go.

I... I won't tell her anything about you. Any of you. Nothing.

I can't let you.

She'll die, then.

Eventually, you'll understand

that this is about something more than one life.

Mr. Lawal. Good evening.

Please come in.

-Can I offer you something? -No.

But you could tell me what you were thinking,

altering my campaign behind my back.

Do you see how this looks?

Well, what do the polls say?

I shit on the goddamn polls.

Fuck the polls.

This is new.

Okay.

I think you and I have a bit of a misunderstanding.

You can't tell me what to do or how to run this campaign. Am I clear?

-You're correct. -Good.

We do have a bit of a misunderstanding.

You see, I have decided to invest in you, meaning we have an agreement.

And that means that we must find a common vision.

Or we'll have a problem.

No.

Are you threatening me?

Yeah, that was a threat.

Mr. Lawal, tomorrow you're going on a talk show.

I'd like you to be more polarizing.

Demand an immediate legalization of the blood trade.

Get more radical, be more merciless.

Stop holding back what's inside of you.

Yeah.

Okay, okay, okay. Okay.

You... you still don't really comprehend this.

I'm not interested in letting some rich fuck dictate my strategy.

I'm capable of winning without you.

And I'm not going on this talk show to be your... your mouthpiece.

Do you get that?

Did you really think this was all about you?

That I'm investing all my money in your mediocre party,

without wanting a return?

I'll tell you exactly what's going to happen.

You will be a key part of the government.

You'll enforce legalization of the blood trade,

giving all citizens the opportunity to make a basic income.

In doing so, you will also be combating crime.

You'll be celebrated.

And then you'll back the green-lighting of more Dome projects.

So that's what this is about. More of your Domes.

In the next round of elections, you'll become prime minister.

We all want what's best for Berlin.

Do you know what I want?

I want you to fuck off. Just fuck off.

As I understand it, this is still my apartment.

Yeah?

Then I'll kick your ass in your apartment.

Oliver, you badly need someone to show you the way.

Why do you think your wife is involved in everything?

She knows as well as I do that you can't do this alone.

Is that all that you have left? Your fists?

You'll never get rid of the gutter, will you?

Go on.

Do it.

What are you?

I'm not somebody you can just terminate a relationship with.

Blood.

Please.

They will kill you and your sister.

You're going to help me and my sister.

And you'll make your vampire friends leave us alone.

I'm revising your briefing for the talk show tomorrow.

I...

Have you been drinking?

You...

you were... you were right.

Right about what, Oliver?

I...

I can't let myself depend on him.

This, I...

I can't do this without you.

I may have an idea of how you can save your sister.

But you're not gonna like it.
