(dramatic music)

Nora, look at me.

Nora!

(door banging)

What's going on?

Nora, wake up!

The same thing that happened last night.

I called them.

Well, stop it, we're being attacked!

Stop!

Stop!

Leave him alone!

I'm safe, you don't need to protect me.

Oh my God.

You can control them.

(soft music)

(creepy music)

Nique!

Hey.

Get up.

Are you okay, can you stand?

Yeah.

- What is that? - I don't know.

Some kind of burned bones or something.

What happened here?

I must have passed out.

Then this happened.

(ominous music)

Let's get out of here.

Go!

I told you she was a freak.

Why did you attack us?

What are you talking about?

I wanted a coffee, next thing you know, I'm tied up.

Dude, you went full Hulk on us.

Maybe she doesn't remember like you with Aki?

No, she remembers.

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

Yes, you do.

I know because we're connected.

I felt it too.

Felt what?

I called you and you came to me just like the others did.

Who are you?

I'm Carla, but people call me Pixie.

Who are you really?

She asked you a fucking question.

(tone vibrating)

That's you I hear, which means you can hear me too.

Now tell me who you are.

I'm one of many.

Each day our numbers grow.

We implant our consciousness into your brains

and take your bodies.

The ringers.

Is that what happened to Serkan?

Is he one of yours now?

Sadly, he wasn't strong enough.

How many are there like you?

We are an army waiting for the moment of awakening.

Awakening, what's that?

When our queen arrives to lead us into battle.

What battle?

Battle for earth.

You said you were connected to her.

What did you mean?

I don't know, but we were.

Is it true?

Is she part of some body robbing alien army?

I think she was.

She's a drug addict, it might've been a psychosis.

I see it all the time.

I've taken my share of drugs.

She didn't look high to me.

So what, aliens?

That's insane, how could that even be possible?

Bliss.

You're right, when you take Bliss,

you do feel connected to something bigger than yourself.

- Yeah, 'cause you're high. - You saw the kids at Rapture.

They were scratching their skin off.

That's not normal.

And you saw how she died, that's not normal either.

I know, but...

(ominous music)

Yo, your eyes,

they went black too.

- What? - I'm calling the police.

What, for me?

No, for the body.

You guys should get out of here.

We can go to my flat.

Mate, are you coming?

Grab your bag.

I'll keep you out of it.

I just need to lie down.

I'll be fine.

What happened down there?

I don't know.

It might sound crazy.

At this point nothing sounds crazy anymore.

There was this dust, it swirled around me,

like it was alive.

After that, I don't remember.

I think you should see a doctor.

No, David, please.

Just get the sample analyzed and let me sleep.

Okay.

What you gonna tell the police?

I came into work and found a dead alien in my kitchen.

It's Marie, she'll think of something.

Takes more than a dead alien to throw off my sister.

How many of those things do you think there are?

If I'm right, anyone who's ever taken Bliss.

I took Bliss, a lot of it.

So why am I not blacking out and attacking people?

I don't know man, you got pretty rough with me.

That warehouse last night, those kids we saw.

You're right, they looked like they were on Bliss.

And that's why Cleo was there.

They must pick them up at Rapture

and take them to the warehouse.

What warehouse?

The one where the monster lives.

There's a freaking monster now?

We didn't see it, but we heard it.

- I've seen it. - What, when?

It's calling me.

Why would it be calling you?

What if Pixie's right?

About what?

If you're planning a secret invasion,

would you tell a bunch of random kids about it?

- Not unless I had to. - Exactly.

- So why did she tell us? - Because I forced her to.

She had no choice.

Because you're the--

Queen.

But not yet.

What if that's what they're waiting for?

Oh my God.

It is Bliss.

What?

Everything is connected to Bliss.

The whole...

I need to go.

Where are you going?

Peter!

He just left?

What the hell is going on?

I don't know.

We have to go public.

We have to see if anyone else knows anything about this.

(camera clicking)

You called the police.

I had just opened up the shop when I found her.

What time?

About an hour ago, maybe less.

Did you touch her?

I did, I took her pulse.

Here?

You must of pressed pretty hard.

I felt her pulse at the neck.

I think the welts are from a tourniquet.

Addicts with arms like her,

they usually tie a bit further down.

- What's her name? - Pixie.

At least that's what she told me.

She just started coming in a few days ago.

How well did you know her?

Not at all.

Yet somehow she became impaled on a spike for order slips.

I think she must have hid in here

when I was closing up shop yesterday.

It's happened before.

I think she wanted a warm place to shoot up.

And you were the last to leave last night?

Yeah.

What I can't figure out is

why her eyes are like that and her fingers.

Yes, bad heroin causes hemorrhaging.

Don't go too far

in case we need to talk to you again.

Of course.

[Pixie] We are an army waiting

for the moment of awakening.

[Nora] Awakening, what's that?

When our queen arrives to lead us into battle.

[Nora] What battle?

(screaming)

I filtered your voices to hide your identity.

That should get some attention.

[Luka] So what do you want to call the post?

[Nora] Proof of aliens in Berlin?

Done, it's online.

Now what?

Now we wait.

If this is an alien invasion, I'm getting stoned.

People are posting comments!

(coughing)

Mother fucker, what do they say?

That's a hot alien,

she can ride my tractor beam all the way to Uranus.

Troll.

Oh, there's another one.

My roommate has been acting strange

ever since he took Bliss.

He speaks just like she does.

Is my roommate an alien?

It's working.

Every day I see kids in the park.

They all behave like her, they scare me.

They don't seem normal.

Friedrichshain, Kreuzberg, Wilmersdorf,

people are posting all over the city.

[Nora] Wait, what's going on?

I don't know, they're disappearing.

We've been hacked.

Shit, they're tracking us.

I'm so fucked.

Wait, wait, what does that mean?

What's happening?

We need to get the fuck outta here.

No, we need to warn people.

I'm gonna send this video to all my contacts.

Are you out of your fucking mind?

Might as well just fucking put a bullseye on our heads.

Give it back.

You know what?

I'm done with this shit.

Got enough problems on my own.

Wait!

(sighs)

Wanna grab a beer?

You said you're gonna save my son.

I never said that.

Oh, you never said that,

but you want the stop Bliss

and all that goes through Alexander

and I can take you him.

You can hardly stand, let alone walk.

You're not going anywhere.

Where's your black beauty?

None of your business.

You can't go alone.

Alex saying these guys are gonna crush you like a bug

and if they kill you,

I'm gonna starve to death in this fucking shit hole.

Where is he?

(dramatic music)

Why did you want Nora Berger to take Bliss?

Why are you barging into my office

with such an insane accusation?

When you told me to undertake

secret medical observations of Nora, you knew I use Bliss.

So obviously when we partied, she'd want to take it too.

You use me to manipulate one of your patients

into using an illegal drug, why?

I wanted to see how it would affect her.

Why?

Because the seizures I treated her for as a child

were caused by a buildup of methtoxicitine.

- Bliss? - Yes.

A mutation in her C4 chromosome

caused her brain to produce it.

The seizures were caused by the buildup.

Are you saying she naturally produces Bliss?

Yes, she did.

The treatments block production.

I want you to see if the block was still viable,

but her mother refused to let me test her.

So when she had a seizure and went into a coma,

you knew the block stopped working.

Exactly.

So when she was in the coma, I treated her again.

No more threats of seizures.

And all this without consent.

Well, with your help we probably saved her life.

Has she talked to you about her dreams?

Yes.

That a monster is calling her

and then an alien invasion is imminent.

Peter, right now Bliss is causing a mass psychosis

on a very large amount of young people.

What we are trying to do is to stop this

with our treatment of Nora.

You can't honestly believe there's an alien invasion.

I can't do this anymore.

I won't be your spy.

Well, then you won't be my student

or anyone else's.

I have as much on you as you have on me.

And who do you think they're going to believe,

a respected researcher or a drug addict?

(camera clicking)

(seagulls crowing)

(soft music)

(phone ringing)

You don't have to talk, just listen.

I know the things you've had to do have not been easy.

- You do? - Yes, sweetheart.

I know how much you've sacrificed.

You've gone to find your sister, haven't you?

Don't call me ever again.

I won't, just one thing before I go.

If you tell her what you know,

I will kill her and her whole family.

Goodbye, sweetheart.

I love you.

[Vera] Where did you take these?

At an abandoned factory in Kopenick.

Mitosch's son Alexander is running Bliss out of it

and I guess he's got a new partner.

Jesus.

Looks like the whole precinct's been compromised.

Did you talk to the commissioner yet?

Not yet, but I will today.

This cannot wait.

He needs to put internal affairs on this ASAP.

He will, Gil and I go way back.

He's a straight shooter.

All right.

Oh, just one more thing.

I need labs on this quick.

[Vera] What is it?

Some sort of hash.

Nique was exposed

and I want to make sure it's not a biohazard.

Okay, I'll take care of it.

Oh, David?

- Yeah? - Good work.

Here you go.

No, I don't need any more.

Fine.

All me then.

What are we doing?

Having beers.

No, I mean, why are we here?

A minute ago you were running away.

I don't run from anything.

Really?

Well, it sure looked like you were.

That internet thing freaked you out.

Didn't freak me out.

Just don't need any extra attention right now.

Exactly what kind of trouble are you in?

Let's just say I pissed off the wrong people.

It can't be worse than psycho aliens.

Don't be so sure about that.

Try me.

The Russian mob.

Shit!

How did that happen?

Started out with little things

then little things turned into bigger things.

And bigger things turned into me getting busted, you know?

With 16 pounds of black tar heroin inside a spare tire.

Oh my God, Luka, that's horrible.

What is?

That I did it or that I got caught?

Well, both.

Gets worse.

The only way I was testifying,

protective custody and all that shit.

Just turned out custody wasn't that protective.

They found you.

Killed everyone there except me.

How do you do it?

What?

Not panic, I would be freaking out.

Would it help if I did?

No, but you could die any minute.

Hmm.

You know, the way I see it,

the minute that you let fear take over, you've already lost.

So the Russians can do their worst,

but I'll die before I let them control my life.

That's why the last round in the chamber, it's for me.

So far, I always find a way out.

Like I said, running away.

You want me to stick around?

Will you come to that warehouse with me?

Sure.

Why not?

Really?

Cool.

I'll ask Marie and Peter too.

Cool.

That Peter guy, is he your boyfriend?

We're just hanging out.

I didn't peg you for the straight laced doctor type.

No?

You think I should be more of a lone wolf gangster type?

It's not just Teves, this runs deep.

Here's a list of 13 officers, most of them recent transfers.

I want all of them investigated.

You're not even gonna look at it?

I talked to the officer in question.

He said he was on a case, he's working under cover.

That's bullshit.

Okay, I know for a fact he's not working on a case.

He's lying.

Why don't you just let this one go?

It's not worth it.

No, I'm not gonna sweep it under the rug.

It's too big.

Oh, Vera, Vera, Vera.

I can't help you.

What do you mean you can't help me?

I'm not asking you for extra tickets to the Christmas party.

These are crooked cops.

Allegedly.

Detective Leonard took those pictures this morning.

Teves is clearly conspiring with a known drug dealer.

You have to open an investigation.

I'm retiring next month.

So?

I can't make any waves.

It's your job to make waves.

Not this time.

Why the hell not?

Oh, they've got you by the balls, haven't they?

Oh, Gil.

There were photos on my computer.

I don't know how they got there.

What kind of photos?

Kids.

Young kids.

They threatened to tell my family.

Yeah, okay and even if they did,

Carol will never believe it.

You've been married for 25 years.

After we got married, she found some pictures.

I went for help, I got therapy, I took care of it.

I haven't slipped up, not even once, but,

she's not gonna believe me now.

You can't let them get away with this.

I have no choice.

Well, I do.

The press is gonna have a field day with this.

Vera, Vera wait.

It would be better

if it looked like we were having an affair.

(dramatic music)

Carol will be able to live with that.

(soft music)

[Voicemail] You've reached detective Leonhart,

leave a message.

[Nora] This is Nora Berger.

You gave me your card last week.

We need to talk.

Can we meet?

Even if he shows up, he's never gonna believe us.

He'll laugh in our faces.

He'll show up.

Look. there he is, told you.

Hey, this is my friend Marie.

She's a licensed social worker.

She has lots of degrees and no mental health issues.

Okay, basically she's saying, I'm not crazy

and everything she's about to tell you I believe it.

Go ahead, tell me.

Okay, so this is going to sound really paranoid, but--

Aliens use Bliss to take over the bodies of young people.

The Torsen Institute is doing experiments on people,

and Nora has a twin sister who killed the scientist

in a rail car because they were aliens too.

Yeah, that pretty much sums it up.

Okay.

Okay?

You actually believe us?

About your twin sister and the rail car killings?

Yeah.

Aliens?

Maybe.

It's aliens.

Do you have proof?

Anything solid?

On her phone, Nora has a--

No, not really.

What do you need specifically?

Pictures, videos, documents.

There's a rundown warehouse.

It's near the Torsen Institute.

I think they take people there and do something to them.

Yeah, I know the place.

What do you think they do?

I think they convert them into aliens.

And what makes you think that?

I think they tried to do it to our friend

and maybe to me too.

My commanding officer has the police commissioner's ear

and I'll talk to her

and I need you both to come in right away

and give full statements, you understand?

Of course.

And until then, I want you to lay low.

Do not talk to anyone about this or you become targets.

Okay, thank you so much.

I'll be in touch.

He believed us.

Yeah, either that or he's one of them.

No, my ears weren't ringing.

He's one of us.

Hey.

You said you were gonna be here for lunch.

Where were you?

I was at the tea shop.

I called there, you weren't there.

Don't lie to me.

I was with a friend.

Doing what?

If I tell you the truth, you won't believe me.

If it's the truth, I will believe you.

Okay, Dr Herter is an alien using Bliss

to take over the minds and bodies of young people.

It's some kind of body snatch invasion

and I think they want me to be their queen.

You could just have said

you went to the movies with Peter.

But you said you wanted the truth.

Are you on drugs?

Alien queens don't take drugs.

It's tiny demons like you,

that are always the most dangerous ones.

But if you are my son, I will find you.

Found Alex where you said he'd be, and you're right,

he's in with the cops.

That sounds like a you problem or like a me problem.

That little worm thing, I need it.

No.

You want me to help you with your son, I need that bio.

My guys had to burn through 100 liters of Bliss

to get to this little shit.

Are you listening to me?

I don't give a shit about your son.

So make up your mind.

You either want my help or not.

I want this back.

I wouldn't go in there detective.

(ominous music)

(alien howling)

(soft music)

It can't be.

Sarah?

It's been a while, hasn't it?

Hello, sister.

I knew we'd find each other.

I'm never gonna let you go.

Ever.

He saved me from death, but he stole my life.

He kept you all these years alone?

Why did you stay?

There were things I had to do.

Things that he couldn't do, important things.

What kind of things?

I can't talk about them.

That's okay.

You don't have to.

My mom, our mom's gonna be so happy.

No, you can't tell her.

We have to, you need somewhere to stay.

I can stay in there, but no one can know I'm here.

Okay.

[Nique] They killed her?

Murder suicide.

That's what they made it look like.

They had to silence her.

We know more than she did.

That's what we need to shut this down

before they shut us down.

It's about Bliss, all of it.

This isn't just a club drug.

(coughing)

I'm worried about you.

Right now, I'm more worried about you.

I'll be fine.

Test results came back from the lab.

Ash residue from a high intensity fire.

Human DNA mixed with burned animal protein.

What animal?

They couldn't tell, but some kind of insect.

This circle, it looks like a religious symbol.

Whatever they were burning was for some kind of ceremony.

Do you believe in aliens?

You know ET, UFOs, that kind of shit?

Why are you asking me?

What is it?

I'm not a 100% sure, but I know who to ask.

Torsen.

I'm gonna pay him a visit and he's not going to like it.

(dramatic music)

You can't come in here, sir.

Cop for security, we have an unidentified intruder.

[Presenter] As you can see,

we're gonna reduce vitality by 13%.

We're gonna use titanium in the other one.

[Dr] Considering the implication of the project--

I need to talk to Torsen.

You can't be in here.

Get lost.

I'll call security.

It's fine.

You have five minutes Detect.

Two scientists who worked for you

were killed in a rail car filled with Bliss.

I heard they caught the killer.

Now, you see, he didn't do it,

but I was stopped from investigating.

I was also stopped from questioning kids

who were brought into your Institute after ODing on Bliss.

And my partner was stopped investigating kids

who went missing after they took the Bliss.

So?

Bliss, it all ties back to you.

That's quite the allegation, detective.

Does your superior officer know you're here?

You had her murdered.

So that you could continue to buy off cops

in order to protect your precious product.

I know, you know it.

And soon everybody else is gonna know it.

Where are they?

What are you talking about?

The labs, where do you make it?

We don't make Bliss here or anywhere else.

So why did this lead me here?

I have no idea what that is.

Is there an issue?

Yeah, get him out of here.

No need.

I was just leaving.

Get your hand off of me or I'll break it.

Let him go.

I'm coming for you.

He's a problem, fix it.

You're hungry.

Here, try holding it like this.

Like the people on TV.

(phone ringing)

Yes?

Hey Nora, we're outside.

I'm ready, I'll be right down.

I have to go, but I won't be long.

I'll lock the door, so no one comes in.

Just try to be quiet, okay?

Mm-hmm.

This is exactly what the cop told us not to do.

He said we needed proof, so we're getting proof.

And why should we listen to him anyway?

He never even called us back.

They probably killed him.

And she calls me negative.

(dramatic music)

Wow, this place is creepy even during the day.

The Torsen Institute

is right on the other side of the river.

There has to be a connection.

This doesn't look like an after party spot.

Nah, more like a pajama party.

What do you think they are doing in here?

All right, Marie and I are going this way,

you guys, you go that way.

(snoring)

Who the fuck are you?

You don't know me.

But I know you.

Why did you run off yesterday?

I had to talk to a Dr Herter.

I quit my job or she fired me.

I don't know, anyway,

I'm done.

I can't do it anymore.

Do what?

Lie to you.

What are you talking about?

Dr Herter wanted you to take Bliss.

She hired me to make sure you did.

What?

Nora,

I'm sorry.

She blackmailed me, I...

Fuck!

Hey,

- it's just us. - Nora.

Get the fuck away from me.

What did he do?

I'll tell you later.

Let's just finish here and get out.

What is this place?

And what are all of these?

What's this?

[Peter] It's a diagram of the organ system.

Adult drone.

[Nora] What's a drone?

[Peter] They're male insects, they impregnate the queen.

What is all this?

[Luka] Yeah, what's all this shit here?

- Venom gland, venom canal. - Whoa.

It looks like a spider inside a human body.

[Nora] What is that?

(dramatic music)

(screaming)

[Peter] Get out, get out of here!

Come on, come on, let's go!
