Hello, Bea.

PREVIOUSLY ON CITY OF BLOOD

You knew it the whole time? He's a monster!

-He can help you. -You want me to turn into them?

I thought I could make her life better with that money.

These are not our people. These are creatures.

They're blood drinkers.

-Well, what should I do, then? -Klein's office called us.

I am giving you a chance to govern Berlin with me, together.

Where's your sister?

She's with Johan Moderson. She was with him in the Dome.

What's our plan now?

Phoebe!

Get... get it out.

Your fascination with the light kept you all blind.

And so you thought that if you planted a bomb in my apartment,

he would fall out of favor with me and you'd get the attention

that you deserve again.

Stop.

You have to stop!

I'm sorry.

This is the only one with AC.

This campaign season has been unbelievable.

Who'd have thought the leading candidate,

Oliver Lawal from Aufbruch Berlin, was in bed with those bloodsuckers?

If he wins, we'll have vampires running wild in Parliament.

Jesus, did you distill that in your toilet?

Not again.

Check B-14, confirm that it's clear.

God, it's probably just another fucking stray cat.

-Copy? -Yeah, yeah, copy.

Check B-17, confirm as safe and report back.

I swear, if it's that cat, I'm gonna rip that little shit apart.

-Copy? -Yeah, man, copy.

B-14 triggered again. Check and confirm it's clear.

Fuck you guys.

I triggered B-14, heading to B-17.

Copy.

28 HOURS BEFORE

Under four weeks before the so-called "fateful election,"

the situation in Berlin has continued to escalate.

According to information obtained by our editorial team,

the government is currently debating the imposition of a curfew

in response to another outbreak of violent clashes between vampire supporters

and their vehement opponents.

It remains unclear what legal or political statutes exist...

-A visitor. -to restrict rights of vampires,

and government officials do not expect any decisive legislative action

for the remainder of the term.

Hey.

Hey.

Uh, I really thought it would...

I guess, I wanted to...

Just forget it.

You were right.

They are monsters.

And I'm sorry.

I'm really happy you're here.

Bloody clashes erupted again

between supporters and opponents of the city's vampires.

Multiple people were also arrested for looting in Wedding this morning.

Late in the afternoon, a group opposing the vampires...

was attacked and beaten in Kreuzberg.

-Fuck off, cunt! -Three people were injured.

More than 80 people involved

-in escalating violence, police... -Shit.

Fuck off!

-I'll be right there. -Okay.

-I was wondering where you were. -It's chaos here.

I just need to find a place to park.

Looking forward to it. See you soon.

-Out of the way. -Are you fucking nuts?

Watch it.

These goddamn rich people. Always on top.

-Fucking scum! -Now what?

Corrupt elites running this city into the ground,

and we're all going down with it.

But they, they aren't our enemies.

Hey, it's that corrupt secretary bitch who fucked us over!

Hi. You've reached the voicemail of Carl Hoffmann.

She should be here by now.

She'll be here soon, okay?

POLICE

I'll be right back.

Emergency! Room 7!

For the past 72 hours, Berlin endured an unprecedented crisis.

REPUBLIC OF BERLIN PRESS CONFERENCE

It is now our duty, as the brave inhabitants of Berlin,

to prevent the situation from escalating and careening out of control.

My loyal companion, fellow leader, and friend, Laura Hoffmann...

Was killed last night after a brutal mob dragged her from her vehicle.

Her death...

saddens me greatly.

I offer my deepest condolences to her daughter.

Laura Hoffmann's career in politics was imperfect.

But if that justifies such horrific violence,

then this is the end of democracy

and the end of humanity.

And Berlin has fallen.

We can't fight amongst ourselves. We cannot afford these tribal conflicts.

We have a common enemy, a common problem. We are facing an emergency.

We cannot tolerate these creatures living in our city any longer.

It's time to destroy the Dome and its inhuman technology

once and for all.

That is why I urge all citizens to make their voices heard

and to speak with their ballots in the upcoming election.

That is the only hope we have of guaranteeing your safety.

Look out for each other.

Protect each other, and most importantly, respect each other.

Over the decades, Berlin has weathered many trials and tribulations.

-No matter the odds, obstacles... -Bring Bea Hoffmann to me.

...the citizens of Berlin have come together as people.

That's the hope we cling to.

We're doing everything we can.

Dr. Spanel to Pathology.

-What was that? -Get down!

Move!

Hey! Hey! Hey, get your fucking hands off of her!

There is a law that has existed for thousands of years

stating that our existence must remain a closely-guarded secret

in order to protect both humanity and our kind.

You and Johan have violated that law and destroyed its delicate balance.

Now we have to find a way to avoid annihilating one another.

Your mother didn't have to die.

I'm giving you the chance to...

to own your actions and remedy them.

I'm as good as dead.

You could live.

No.

Humans won't live in fear of vampires if they see you've become one of us.

Never.

VAMPIRES WELCOME

Supply-chain issues.

What's up?

She didn't want to leave until I let you know.

You thought it'd be okay to burn me, huh?

What do you want?

They have Bea.

The vampires, man. They have Bea.

I know who took her.

-What do those fuckers want? -Revenge?

How should I know? You have to help me. Please.

Yeah, how? How would we do that?

I have an idea.

It's risky, but...

I won't let those fuckers keep my sister.

You little fuck! How dare you show your face here?

-You stupid prick. -Kevin, that's enough!

Shut the fuck up and mind your business! You little fucking rat, you're dead.

-It was my idea. -Up. On your feet!

-Leave him alone. -Bring him downstairs.

-What? Stop! -That's it. I'm done.

-Just get out! -Those fuckers

are gonna kill us, get it?

-Fuck are you doing? -Downstairs!

-Stop it. -They have my sister.

Fuck your sister. She's the root of the problem.

Look, those guys are the problem, not Bea!

There's going to be a war.

Where do you want to be then? You think it's okay what they did to Pit?

What's wrong with you? Are you scared or what?

-What'd you say? -Are you scared or...

Yeah, I'm scared. You have no fucking idea.

You shut your fucking mouth, all right?

I swear to God, shut it or I'll kill you, you got it?

Shit! They have a fucking army.

Fuck.

I'm doing this tonight, whether you're with me or not.

So, what are your plans with Bea Hoffmann?

Huh?

There's going to be a war.

What did you expect?

Did you come just to say that?

I came to say goodbye to you.

Eternity isn't meant for everybody.

Take him out to the cage. It will be dawn soon.

If it's that cat, I'm gonna rip that shit apart.

B-14 triggered again. Check and confirm it's clear.

Fuck you guys.

Copy.

30 minutes until dawn.

Everyone should proceed inside.

The building will go into lockdown in five minutes.

It's almost sunrise.

There.

If they don't come?

We'll have a problem.

No one's here.

Where would they hide her?

Upstairs?

Come on, we're sticking to the plan.

Fuse box.

This is for the building's utilities.

User management. This controls the blinds.

Okay.

The sun will rise in half an hour. Roll up the blinds when it does.

Once they're all upstairs, turn off the power

only to the blinds, like we talked about.

You have to get out the way we came.

Otherwise, you'll run into them.

-Okay? -Got it.

-I'm going up. -Phoebe.

Silver bullets.

Okay.

Hey.

See you soon.

Twenty-five minutes until dawn.

The building is being locked.

It's crazy.

I don't want this.

You don't have to be afraid.

System failure.

Please proceed immediately to the shelter.

Ten minutes until dawn.

System failure.

Please proceed immediately to the shelter.

Ten minutes until dawn.

Shit.

System down, no more access control!

-Left! -Right.

Stay in position.

Status?

powered by human blood.

There is disagreement over how to deal with this species.

Oliver Lawal, whose party, Aufbruch Berlin collaborates with the vampires...

Fuck!

Political experts consider the outcome

of the upcoming election to be uncertain.

Just this evening, thousands of vampire supporters gathered once again

for a massive demonstration in front of the controversial Climate Dome.

The protesters are demanding the immediate reopening of the facility.

At the same time, a veritable vampire craze is sweeping social media.

Vehicles approaching at high speed.

Ready to engage!

-Get in firing position! -Watch out!

Fuck! Fuck! Go, go, go!

Phoebe...

Hey.

I don't feel anything.

No pain...

I'll never leave you alone again.

Hey!

Go away.

The sun is coming up. You can't stay.

I'm taking you with me.

Go.

Go, or I'll...

Get out.

We'll find a way. I promise.

Just go.

Two hostiles at Delta position!

What do you want?

What's the matter? Behind the car.

Come on! Hey!

Where are you going?

-Kim, get down! -You fucker!

No! No!

No!

Kim!

They're coming from around the back. We have to get moving! Get down.

Cover him!

Look out, look out, there are two guys back there!

Watch out!

-Fall back! -Fall back!

Inside! We're moving inside now!

Go set the traps.

Oh, here you are.

Not feeling good?

Oh, I see.

There's no point explaining it to you. You wouldn't understand.

Why don't you try?

Or maybe she can tell me.

Leave her alone.

She can get humans to overcome their fear of us.

You're right. I don't get it at all.

Fear is the best way to control them.

To save their own lives, for their own safety,

I know humans would...

willingly give up control.

Okay.

You just don't understand. You lack foresight.

Now take me downstairs.

-Eternity isn't meant for everybody. -What are you doing?

I'm saying goodbye.

You always cared so much about the light.

They're around here somewhere. Keep your eyes open.

They're here.

-Nothing here. -Place is empty.

Don't see anything.

Where'd they go?

Come on, get out of here.

Let's rip this place apart.

-Got it. -Look everywhere.

The Republic of Berlin held elections today,

reporting an impressive 82% voter turnout.

Several hours ago, the polls closed...

The world is looking to Berlin, anxiously awaiting the first exit polls.

This election will determine the approach

to vampires whose existence has shaken the republic...

THE BERLIN CLIMATE DOME RUNS ON HUMAN BLOOD.

In a few short minutes, we will find out whether Oliver Lawal,

with the support of the vampires, can continue his months-long winning streak.

As many recent polls have demonstrated,

the vampires are becoming popular in the city.

Especially with reports of the activist Bea Hoffmann,

a well-known critic of the vampires, who has now become one of them herself.

We're now going live to our political studio with Markus Fortner,

with initial projections for the election.

I'm in what used to be a swimming pool

that now houses Oliver Lawal's Aufbruch Berlin campaign office.

Countless supporters have gathered

to show their resolve and support on this historic election night.

And although the BDP secured a narrow majority with 41.2%,

recent projections are now suggesting that Oliver Lawal will prevail

with 39.5% and secure a solid victory in this election.

Understood.

Mm-hm.

Yes, contact Fabian Gerlach.

He'll help you arrange a meeting. Thank you.

-And? -She wants to set up a meeting soon.

But don't you think that could backfire?

You know exactly what's going on out there.

All those people voted for the vampires. All of them.

They voted to make you their voice in government,

not to give full authority to the vampires.

Enjoy it. Let's celebrate you tonight.

And as for the change in course,

we'll blame it on the tough coalition negotiations.

You having doubts?

Not for a minute.

Thank you all. Thanks a lot.

Thanks, everyone.

Turns out we're the second-strongest party.

And without our votes, they have no chance of forming a government.

Which means we are the real winners of this election.

-Yeah! -It's ours!

You elected me so that I could make our beloved Berlin

a city that serves its people, a city that prioritizes safety for all,

a city that allows the basic right to rise up and defend your property

and your lives, and where order has been fully restored!

It's important that I say one thing.

My vision has always, has always been about Berlin.

This is about every one of you.

It's about you and you and you and you.

Because the others are coming to Berlin,

but all of us, here now, are Berlin.

You all voted for me because everyone in here wants change.

Change, change, change!

Change, change, change, change!

However, true change cannot happen

if we are forced to make more compromises.

Hilda Klein wants me, wants you, wants all of us,

to be forced into a restrictive coalition, and why is that?

Well, because she is desperately clinging to her power. Yeah.

Klein must go! Klein must go! Klein must go!

I made it perfectly clear then, and tonight, I'll reiterate,

I am not willing to make any more compromises.

I am not the kingmaker.

Because there can and must be only one response to the outcome this evening.

New elections!

New elections! Hell, yeah!

Hell, yeah! New elections! Yeah, yeah!

New elections! New elections! New elections!

He's gonna win.

We need more.

♪ I'd listen to the words he'd say ♪

♪ But in his voice I heard decay ♪

♪ The plastic face forced to portray ♪

♪ All the insides left cold and gray ♪

♪ There is a place that still remains ♪

♪ It eats the fear, it eats the pain ♪

♪ The sweetest price he'll have to pay ♪

♪ The day the whole world went away ♪

Yeah. Didn't think I could do it, did you?

Yeah, neither did I.

But now one more step forward,

we get an absolute majority, and Berlin is ours.

How do we do that? Well, it's fairly simple.

First, we keep Moderson's promise.

You finance the Dome for everyone, and together...

we bring all of Berlin under one roof.

Domes for everyone?

Yes.

Once you're in power, you'll introduce a blood tax.

Also for everyone.

People will have to make regular donations of blood,

whether they're rich or poor.

You will make sure everyone complies.

And then you will get your domes.

A blood tax?

You really have to force people to be happy, huh?

To Berlin's future.

Fuck it.

Here's to the future.
