Where are we?
The flat belongs to a friend. He's out of town. We'll be safe here.
So why are the windows covered up?
There's food in the fridge. Take yourselves at home.
Dad, tell us what's really going on here.
-Please leave a message. -Damn it, Meret where are you?
Koleev has a mole in the BND.
We've been exposed. The Garden's gone. It's all over. We're finished.
The important thing is I have her here.
She's the more dangerous of the two.
I've already taken care of Gregor.
So, soon we'll be able to…
Karl won't be a problem, I guarantee it.
Yes, just like I said.
Schöner Blick Hotel, room 12.
You bastard, you know he'll kill me.
You told me I should bring him to you.
But not as your hostage, served up like a pig to the slaughter.
Come on, Meret, where are you?
Katya, where's Nina?
She went to lie down.
-We have to tell her something. -Not now.
It doesn't need to be the whole truth, but she doesn't know what's going on.
I trusted you. Don't make me regret that.
Jonas,
you remember the fantasy we had for our future?
Stuff we made up in the heat of the moment.
Let's work together on this.
It's too late for that, Meret.
Hi, I'm so sorry. My phone must've deactivated the key to my room.
No problem.
Get away from her!
What're you doing?
I watched Gregor die.
They killed him, Meret.
And it wasn't fast.
They severed his femoral artery.
While you and Koleev's lapdog were busy fucking.
I'll leave him to you.
But he's a threat to us, and you know that.
-Koleev is on his way. -What?
Fuck.
Our cover's blown, Meret. They know where we live.
Where's Nina?
She's safe.
Fuck. There's too many. Come on.
Let's move.
Sweep the entire hotel.
All right.
I'll go down. Come on.
Oh, shit.
Did you ever have Helena Kohn, or was that another lie?
Of course I did.
But Karl got here first.
Why are you a constant source of disappointment and failure on this?
They're good.
And you're not?
I knew Helena from before.
-But I knew her as Charlotte. -From where?
I even thought we were in love a long time ago…
It was back when I had the job in Marrakesh.
She was wild. And dangerous.
Sounds like you're still in love with her.
Does it look like it?
Love makes us do crazy things.
So, now we have to find her.
No.
She'll come to us.
I can guarantee you that.
Hmm.
More and more messages are coming.
We have to tell Ben about the mole in the agency.
I think we need to keep the team small on this.
This is huge. We can't just sit on it. Ben needs to be looped in immediately.
You know, there's only two things I'm sure about.
You and I can trust each other.
But we can't trust Ben.
He's our superior. It's our duty to report to him.
Since when do you care what he thinks?
We could scare off the mole if we do that.
Plus,
we're a pretty sexy team.
Alice,
rules are rules.
And a deal is a deal.
But sometimes, when you just let life happen,
you get something in return.
Pizza?
No.
Something else.
Maybe you get back the person you love.
No, that's not what I…
Um…
-The messages are still coming in? -Yeah.
It's an ongoing chat.
And you don't have an ID on the sender?
No.
But whoever they are, they know about everything that happened in Belarus.
Gregor used a human asset at the GRU.
Katya Volkova.
She was the honey trap to get Koleev to defect.
But when Koleev found out he was being manipulated,
he turned the tables on all of them.
Now he's trying to finish what he started back then.
Gregor was just the first.
Then his mole can operate within our agency without risk of exposure.
All our allies would turn their backs on us again, won't they?
They won't share anything with us.
We have to find the mole ASAP.
Yeah.
Why the fuck did you let Koleev get away? He was right in front of you.
It all happened really fast. His people got him out of there.
And Alice was there before you?
Yeah.
What did she do?
I didn't get a good look.
Do you know if she even drew her weapon?
Of course.
But um…
But what?
Koleev was talking to her.
And then she lowered her gun.
She lowered her gun?
So Koleev spoke to her. Do we know what he said exactly?
It's in the debrief.
"Smile, smile, I always wanted happiness destroyed."
-What the fuck does that mean? -I don't know.
It could've been translated badly. Alice's Russian isn't very good.
So, lemme get this straight. Alice speaks to Koleev in broken Russian,
she lowers her gun, and he gets into the van and drives off?
What is it you're trying to say?
Exactly what you're thinking, if you're being honest.
That's the real reason you came here alone, right?
No, I came to see you alone because…
Because?
Alice is not the mole, so you need to back the fuck off.
I certainly hope you're right.
But luckily it's not our jobs to figure that out.
-Hey! That's my phone! -Well, now it's evidence.
Can you please patch me through to Internal Affairs?
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
I'm going to ask you all to stop working immediately.
We would appreciate your cooperation while we have a look around.
Look for bugs.
Check the desks. Ender tables and lamps, too.
I told you telling Ben was a mistake.
We don't need people sniffing around while we work on this.
What did Koleev really say to you?
I already told you what he said. It's not my fault it was gibberish.
Tell me again.
But this time, say it in Russian.
Come on, maybe I can translate it better.
You don't trust me?
I know that you're not stupid.
And what you did was very stupid.
And careless.
You let Gregor's killer, a known monster, get away.
It all happened really fast, and I was there on my own.
You had me. I was there.
You're an analyst, not an operative, and you know that, Julika.
I was scared of putting us in danger.
I also know that you're not a coward.
So, what am I then?
I don't know anymore.
Well, when you finally do decide what you think of me,
just know we're done.
Alice in Bugland.
You're starting with me?
Don't worry, everyone gets a turn.
We'll talk later.
I wouldn't count on it.
No matter what happens, you did the right thing.
Looks like we've got something here.
Fingerprints first.
Let me know the second you have something.
How you holding up?
My parents were always so perfect that it would almost drive me mad.
All of sudden, they're constantly lying, running off with guns and hurting people.
And it all seemed to start the second you showed up here.
Who are you?
I'm just an old friend of theirs.
-I live in Oslo and I'm-- -No, tell me the truth.
I'm sorry. I don't know what to tell you.
You can start by actually telling me the truth.
I used to work with your parents back in the old days.
It's been ages because, for a long time, I wasn't feeling well,
but now that I've, uh…
Now I'm finally starting to find my strength again.
But you,
you already have yours.
You really are a…
a very strong and impressive young woman.
And I know your parents feel that way too.
My father, maybe.
But not my mother.
Trust me.
You're wrong about Meret.
She'd literally tear this world apart if it meant keeping you safe.
Not everything's expressed with words.
Meret, wait.
Look, I'm sorry.
The thing with Gregor…
You know, he and I, it was never like…
I just…
know he meant a lot to you, and I understand what you lost.
Thanks.
So that's it? "Thanks"?
You have nothing else to say?
What do you want me to say?
Well, I was hoping for the truth.
What's there to say?
I'm sorry I had an affair in Marrakesh, happy?
All better now?
This isn't about your affair.
I thought you were lying dead in a hotel room.
I was trying to extract information from him.
It's part of our job and you know that.
-Don't make a big deal out of it. -Information?
While you were getting information, we lost our house!
I lost the restaurant.
Simon and Meret Schäfer don't exist anymore.
We're completely fucked!
It's gone, all of it!
Right.
So it's all my fault then?
I went to that hotel room and then the shit just hit the fan?
No, I think it started long before then.
I think maybe it started way back
on the day you decided not to tell me that Nina's mother was still alive.
So, I'm not the one who lived with a lie for 16 years! With two lies!
You mean the day you and Gregor just decided to fuck off
and leave me to clean up everything!
Yeah?
That day?
When you left me in that godforsaken house on my own? Is that the day you mean?
Still alive!
I'm not responsible for the choices you made in Belarus.
Do you know what your boss's last words were?
Mole, BND, Meret.
It wasn't "tell my family I love them,"
or, "Tell Meret how much she always meant to me."
But "Mole, BND, Meret."
I know your father was an asshole, but you're not gonna turn Gregor into one.
Hey, fuck you.
I know what he meant to me. I don't care what his last words were.
Yeah, you really don't care about anyone. Certainly not me or Nina.
Wow!
Now you're questioning my love for Nina as well?
What's her shoe size, then?
Right. I loved you so much, Meret.
Throughout everything in Marrakesh and Belarus,
these past 16 years with Nina
and the only thing you ever cared about is you.
-I'm having a shower. -Yeah.
I know you loved Gregor like a father.
I did too before he betrayed me.
So then I guess you got what you wanted.
To certain degree, I guess.
But for me it's always been more about Koleev.
And exactly how far are you willing to go to stop him?
Yes?
It's me.
I thought Helena was running things there.
They won't let me near my daughter.
You mean our daughter.
You have no right to say that, you son of a bitch.
So, what do you want?
You're going to help me get her.
Then what?
You just take her away from me?
We can make an arrangement.
Okay.
Then we should meet.
Come alone or I'm gone.
And you'll never see her again.
Send the location.
Do you see anything yet?
Just stay calm.
Okay.
So now I just stand here, or…
I already told you, we're gonna let him come to us,
and when I have a clear shot I'll take it.
Meret?
-Yes? -You see that couple on the beach?
Yeah.
Cyclist on your right.
He's okay.
Got eyes on that fisherman?
Yeah, he's leaving.
He's late.
Someone's coming out of the woods, by the building.
I can't get a visual. Is it him?
Negative, false alarm.
The fisherman's circling.
Is it Koleev?
I'm not sure.
Keep an eye on him.
Katya.
Katya, what're you doing?
Stay put.
You're in my line of fire! Get out of there!
-I'm taking the lead now. -Katya!
Fuck.
Meret, abort!
Repeat, abort!
That's enough, Katya.
I don't want to hurt you.
Go to hell, you bastard!
Stop it, Katya.
You son of a bitch! You tried to kill me and my daughter!
We gotta move! Come on! Come on!
Meret!
-Shit! -Okay.
She's hit.
Good evening. Hello. Hello.
Yes, nice to meet you, very nice to meet you.
Oh! It's an honour to meet you.
Nice to meet you. Thanks so much for coming. Thank you.
I can't reach my husband.
If you'd like, I can send out a security detail to find Mr. Koleev?
We can do this without him.
Okay. Sounds good.
I want to thank you all for being here
to share this special moment with me tonight.
I want to extend a warm welcome to our guests.
Welcome to my colleagues,
excellencies,
distinguished representatives of the governments
that we're so proud to have such close relationships with.
Especially…
Ah! And welcome to my father!
Whom I have to thank for passing on his love to this beautiful city,
the city of our ancestors,
to me.
He's now got the perfect excuse to visit Berlin whenever he can.
-I'll be right back. Hold on a second. -Okay.
Sorry about that.
Mmm!
-Thank you for coming. -Mmm!
My little girl, ambassador in Berlin! I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
You came all this way for me?
Well, mostly, yes.
I also heard there were some potential issues with Starfish.
And that Josef's attention maybe be divided.
Mm-hmm?
You should get back to your guests. We'll have time to catch up later.
Yes, sorry.
Good to see you.
Thank you.
It's not rocket science. I said do it now!
Search everything.
Alice took off.
Mmm. Maybe she was sick of being investigated.
Listen.
That cell phone?
It was used to upload sensitive data to an unknown recipient.
And they only found one set of prints.
Alice.
Julika.
Where are you?
You need to come back here and clear this whole thing up.
The number you…
Hey!
Only work phones on site!
Hey!
The number you…
Julika!
You brought your personal phone in here?
Oi!
-What's going on? -Office.
-What? -Office.
In the office.
So, tell me.
Where was he today?
I'd like to know that too.
Mmm.
You know,
ever since the day you first brought him home to us,
I saw a man…
who clearly…
was not good enough for my daughter.
It was obvious, however, that he truly loves you.
I only agreed to let you marry him
because I was sure he would do absolutely whatever it took to make you happy.
And to make you happy too.
Let's be honest here.
Mmm…
Now it's your turn to be honest with me.
Is there a problem?
Not yet, no.
But if one comes up, I'll let you know.
I found out what Koleev really said to her that day.
It's the first lines of a book called The Starfish.
That was Alice's code name.
Starfish.
She's been getting orders from him for the past several months.
He must've been blackmailing her or something.
Alice never cared about money.
She…
She fooled me too.
All of us.
Julika, it's over.
As of today, Vera Koleeva is Ambassador.
Let's just leave it at that.
Where're you going?
There's no way I can just leave it at that.
You told me to stay true to myself, right?
You have the wrong table.
Did you know that starfish actually have two stomachs?
And it's a misconception that they all look like stars.
Do I know you?
Hmm?
Starfish.
That was the code name of the mole your husband planted in the BND.
That's why you're both in Berlin.
For his cover.
Either leave…
or I'll have you escorted out.
She was a good friend of mine, and she's dead cos of you two.
And whatever your husband had on her, she didn't deserve that.
I have no idea what you're going on about.
Then maybe we should talk about Belarus.
It was an operation to get your husband to defect.
To get him to start over.
With his lover,
who was carrying his child.
-Nina. -What happened?
An accident, but your father's taking care of her.
-Mum? -Nina, stay here!
Mum?
Hey, Ninja.
Get out! I'll explain later.
Looks like you got shot.
Nina, please! I need to help her. Everyone, out!
-Now! -Come on.
Come on, your father's got this.
Let's go, come on.
Don't put me under.
-You might pass out. -Yeah.
Okay.
Ready? Okay.
Here we go.
Where's my husband?
LOCATION WITHIN APPROX. 50 M.
We've got their location.
Fuck.
