City of Blood (2026) s01e05 Episode Script

1
I heard you're gonna be
on Albrecht's show tomorrow?
Yes, I am. To find Phoebe.
Fine. Don't talk about politics.
And nothing about the Dome.
And if anyone has seen her,
please come forward.
Apparently, your sister has been
watching and is on the phone.
[Hermes]
We're going to link her now.
[Phoebe] Hi, Bea.
I had no idea you'd launch
a media campaign right away.
She'll hate me for this.
Then you call during the show
and make me look ridiculous?
-I don't want your kidney.
-[Yassin] Bea?
I'm on my way to the Dome. Are you coming?
[Bea] There's something in here!
Out, Yassin, now!
-[tense music plays]
-[explosion]
You're going on a talk show.
Get more radical, more merciless.
Stop holding back what's inside of you.
There will be an anti-crime task force
that systematically infiltrates
the warring clans.
Any presence they have may be wiped out.
He's letting Mr. Lawal incite hatred
for the organization.
We want to legalize the blood trade.
[reporter] What we know so far
is that the Dome's membrane-like roof
has been damaged.
[music stops]
[theme music plays]
[music fades]
[aircraft droning overhead]
[reporter] A few minutes ago,
a massive explosion occurred
in the penthouse of one
of the apartments in the Climate Dome.
While more details are still yet to come,
a targeted terrorist attack is suspected.
The Dome has been debated numerous times
during the current election,
with recent increased criticism,
in particular
from the left and right wings.
It's still unclear
who owns the apartment in question
We're currently assuming
it was a targeted attack against you.
Anyone who knows
you're in town is being checked.
[TV reporter continues indistinctly]
-How about your human friend?
-She's not a threat.
After the hunt, he put her in his vehicle.
She knows about us.
I've pulled footage
from the hall and living room.
[low tense music plays]
[Zeno] Bea Hoffmann.
[scoffs]
The Secretary of Construction's daughter.
And the sister of Johan's new girlfriend.
[Szen] Who's the delivery guy?
[Zeno] No idea. We're looking.
[phone buzzing]
[Johan] What's behind that door?
Farid.
[low tense music continues]
[Johan]
He didn't know what was in the bag.
[music stops]
[Szen] Find out if Bea Hoffmann
is still alive and bring her here.
And her sister too.
[knocking on door]
-[Bea] Hello!
-[alarm blares]
[alarm beeping]
Help!
[alarm continues blaring, beeping]
[panting]
[announcer] Please remain calm
and follow the instructions
of the security personnel.
Proceed in an orderly manner
to the nearest door or exit.
Security checks will be conducted
at the exits,
so please have your resident ID
or visitor pass
and personal identification ready.
A triage center is being established near
entrance B West for anyone who is injured.
[horns honking]
[alarm blaring, beeping]
[elevator creaking]
Help me!
[shouting] Hey! Hey!
[unsettling music plays]
Hello!
Shit. Hey!
-[coughs]
-[pounding on door]
Hey! Hello!
[coughing]
[thumping outside door]
Hey! Help!
Help! I'm in here! Help!
[firefighter] Give me your hand.
[panting]
We need to go upstairs! Upstairs!
[firefighter] Nothing's left.
Everyone needs to evacuate.
[Bea] My friend's there!
[announcer] Follow the instructions
of the security personnel.
I've been trying to get a hold of you.
There was this huge explosion.
[Johan] Did you tell your sister about us?
[Phoebe] No. Why?
She was on video
in the apartment that blew up.
[Johan] We assume she had something
to do with the attack. I trusted you.
[announcer speaking indistinctly]
[Phoebe] What?
No, she doesn't know about any of you.
She was there before the explosion.
In the apartment there were cameras.
I just saw the footage.
[alarm blaring]
-Is she
-I don't know yet.
Phoebe, listen to me.
This wasn't just any apartment.
This was an attack on us.
If you haven't told her,
you need to find out what she knows.
Everything I've been working on
for so long is at stake.
If your sister is still at the Dome
then you both need to get out now.
They're already looking for you.
Find your sister and hide.
[tense music plays]
[announcer] This is a safety announcement.
Please try to remain calm
and carefully follow all instructions
of our security personnel.
-We ask you not to run.
-[softly] Fuck.
And proceed in an orderly manner
to the nearest emergency exit.
Again, heed the instructions
of security personnel.
[recording] You've reached
the mailbox of Bea Hoffmann.
-Come on.
-Leave a message
-[sirens wailing]
-[music fades]
[Hilda] Who owns the apartment?
Do we have access to the security cameras?
Was the footage from the lobby area
already checked?
And what about damage to the roof?
Will that affect the Dome
and the rest of the building?
Structural engineers on site.
They're evacuating the residents
and the plaza's been cordoned off.
-Get me on with Donetzki.
-[staff] We have new information.
We obtained access to the security system
of the apartment in question.
As we can see in the time stamp,
the elevator reached the apartment
seven minutes before the explosion.
The man you see on the right
is the building's concierge.
The second person
seems to be a delivery guy.
And as we can quite clearly see here,
the third person is Beatrice Hoffmann,
who is currently missing without a trace.
All the exits
have already been sealed off,
in case the attackers
are still in the Dome.
Prime Minister,
in order not to waste time,
I urge a public search
for the unknown man and Beatrice Hoffmann
be launched immediately.
Mr. Prager, I will not be drawn
into a witch hunt as long
as we lack solid evidence.
That means we stand by idly
while Lawal takes control of the issue.
We're performing our government duties
right now, we're not campaigning.
As for Bea Hoffmann and the other person,
let's trust state security
with all further investigations.
[Prager] Laura Hoffmann?
She's compromised.
[dial tone beeping]
[indistinct chatter]
[dial tone hums]
-[Bea] Hello?
-Bea.
-Where are you?
-In the triage center.
I'm coming.
POLICE
-[motors rumbling]
-[indistinct announcement]
[vehicle horn honks]
[paramedic] Ma'am, are you hurt?
[Phoebe] No, thank you.
I'm looking for someone.
[siren waling outside]
Phoebe.
[Phoebe] Shit.
-Are you hurt?
-No.
Were you in the apartment?
Did you have something to do
with the bomb?
No.
It wasn't me.
They caught you on camera.
What were you doing there?
We were there together.
He had a delivery for the apartment.
Who is we? Who were you with?
With Yassin.
He had a delivery from your boss.
-[Phoebe] What?
-The concierge let us in.
Yassin's brother was there,
but he was like an animal.
He attacked the concierge, killed him,
and drank his blood
like a fucking vampire.
[car engine starts]
I don't know what happened to Yassin.
[car engine revs]
We've gotta get out of here. Right now.
I have to go to the police
to tell them what happened.
Police? Are you fucking nuts?
-Can you walk?
-Yes.
See the cop that's behind me?
I'll distract him. Soon as he's not
looking, you run, okay? I'll follow you.
-Yes?
-[Phoebe] Hi, sorry.
I have to use the bathroom.
You'll have to wait
till we have your information.
-[Phoebe] Can't you do that?
-My colleague is in charge of that.
I have to use the bathroom. Hey, whoa!
Get your hands off me! Are you crazy?
-[action music plays]
-[siren wailing]
Oh, shit. Hey!
-[aircraft droning overhead]
-[sirens wailing]
[cars engine revving]
[announcer] Stand clear, make room.
[action music continues]
State officials have confirmed now
that the apparent attack has resulted in
some fatalities as well as many injuries.
Exact figures have yet to be confirmed.
We go now to Georgia Hayek,
who's coming to us live from the scene.
I'm standing here
in front of the Climate Dome,
where less than an hour ago
the awful attack and explosion took place.
The fact that some opponents of the Dome
are celebrating the attack
despite the loss of life,
shows how divided Berlin is.
[telephone ringing]
[Farah] Ugh.
Yes, um, so reactions on social media.
We're seeing memes of the Dome
with smoke coming out
and the slogan "Crush the elites."
The mood has certainly changed.
People are fed up.
What's the matter with you?
[Farah] People have died there.
I'm sorry.
We should begin discussing
how we can use this.
[Oliver] Yeah.
It's bad enough that some people claim
with your radical statements
you called for this to happen.
We need to distance ourselves
from the attack.
-[distant gunfire]
-[distant screaming]
-What was that?
-Was that shooting?
[gasps]
-[suspenseful music plays]
-[exhales sharply]
Downstairs. Downstairs!
[staff clamoring]
FOR CHANGE
-[rapid gunfire]
-[staff screaming]
Everyone get down.
Hide in the storage room!
-[tense music plays]
-[gunfire continues]
[staff clamoring, screaming]
[tense music continues]
[Kevin] Lawal!
[Farah] Your messaging caused this.
-[gunfire ringing]
-[staff screaming]
-[telephone ringing]
-[unzips bag]
[Kevin] You fucking rat! You're dead!
[light tense music plays]
[exhales deeply]
Are you kidding me?
Hey. The door.
-[Oliver] Go. Come on.
-Oliver!
-[gunfire ringing]
-[staff screaming]
[staff clamoring]
[gun cocking]
[music fades]
[panting]
[panting]
[staff member crying softly]
-[gunshots ringing]
-[staff screaming]
[gun clicking]
[panting]
[faint sirens wailing]
[breathes deeply]
[panting]
Are you stupid, Fabian?
Turn off your fucking phone now!
Stella, let's get ready
to make a statement.
In front of the Dome.
Now.
[sniffs, exhales]
-[equipment whirring]
-[indistinct chattering]
[Bea] You were living here the whole time?
[Phoebe] Yeah.
[indistinct chattering]
[door unlocking]
-Thanks.
-Yeah.
[electric fan clicks]
-[soft dramatic music plays]
-[sniffles]
[glass taps softly]
[soft dramatic music continues]
[Phoebe] Here, these might fit you.
[phone buzzing]
Sorry.
[Phoebe] Yes?
Where are you?
[Phoebe] My place.
[Phoebe] My sister had
nothing to do with the bomb.
The delivery came from my boss.
He he works for that freak
where the hunt happened.
This this was your own people.
Johan?
You have to get out.
[Johan] I'll send an address
where you'll be safer.
And turn off your phones.
They can track you.
Please trust me.
[inaudible shout, groans]
[Bea] Who was that?
A friend. He's helping us.
Turn your phone off, or they'll find us.
Who can find us?
What kind of friend is this?
We're working together.
The apartment must belong
to someone important, that sucks.
Turn your phone off!
And Yassin?
-What if he tries to contact me?
-Please turn it off.
[Bea] What now?
[Phoebe] Well, we can't stay here.
My friend knows a place
where we'll be safe for a while.
[Bea] I need to rest.
Just for a bit.
Okay.
[sirens wailing]
Hilda Klein might like to say,
on a day like today,
we cannot be focused on politics.
But I would say that on a day like today,
nothing can and nothing should be
more important than our politics.
Behind me, in the Dome,
good people were killed,
truly innocent people.
And several more were wounded.
My thoughts are with all
the victims' families and not to mention,
with the many, many helpers.
But today
I too, became a victim of terrible
and incredibly brutal, violence, yeah.
Because less than an hour ago,
my campaign's headquarters was attacked.
And if I hadn't known
how to defend myself,
another calamity
would have happened today.
So, Mr. Lawal, you believe
these attacks were connected?
I'm not sure, but I don't believe
it's a coincidence
that we were attacked on the same day
that I publicly announced,
on live television,
to the mafia
and criminal clans of our city,
that I'm declaring war on them.
But I will tell you what,
if I get elected to government,
I'll make sure that these rigid, idiotic,
and restrictive laws against guns
are repealed.
Because the people of Berlin,
and I mean, all citizens,
must have control of their own freedom
and the freedom of the people
that they hold dear.
Because that is the only way
that order can be fully restored.
Free guns for a free Berlin.
[crowd applauding, cheering]
[foreboding music plays]
-[police officer] Back up!
-[resident] Hey!
[tense music plays]
[residents screaming]

[music continues over speaker]
[radio host] Here is a brief update
on the situation in Berlin
following the attack on the Climate Dome.
The total number of deaths
has now risen to six.
Police sources are saying
that there are now concrete leads
on the suspected perpetrators.
The Prime Minister Hilda Klein
plans to address the attack
in a press conference this evening.
We will report back here,
as soon as we learn more.
[music fades]
[aircraft droning overhead]
[Cyrus in Farsi]
You know what Oliver is?
A hard-line, racist fascist.
You are too proud to admit it.
-He has no class.
-[door opens]
-He never had any.
-[door closes]
You have to distance
yourself from him.
Move in with me or go to a hotel,
I don't care.
As long as you are far away from him.
-[Farah] I want you to leave now.
-[Cyrus] Okay.
[in English] You're disgusting.
I am ashamed for you, Oliver.
[door opens, closes]
[sighs]
[Farah scoffs]
[Farah sighs]
[Oliver exhales]
[breathes sharply]
[grunts softly]
-What?
-[Farah] So what's next?
Lynching?
You should see the numbers,
they're incredible.
Social media's going through
the roof. Here. Wait.
I'll show you, two
two hundred thousand likes in five hours.
[scoffs] Not from me.
You're into that, though.
After the likes.
That's what you need, right?
First you declare war
on the clans, and now?
Now you're one of them yourself?
You were there, too, Farah.
You saw what happened today, didn't you?
That is on you.
The responsibility is yours.
What? Wait. What, I blow up buildings
for a hobby or something?
Crush the elites?
That annoys you.
I get it.
It's because I'm not doing what you say,
and despite that, it still works.
Don't play so innocent here.
You want this win just as much as I do,
and that's why you're pressuring me.
"Do this. Do that. Go ahead.
Take this meeting with this snob"
Oliver, I want us to be in
the government too, but not at this price.
My father is right.
You have no class.
Your father, huh?
Your shitty family has never
cared about me, or my vision anyway.
But you care, and you know why?
Because it gets you off.
It gets you off to feel like
the only reason I am where I am
is due to your being there
and I owe it all to you.
-That's what turns you on.
-Fuck you, Oliver!
You are so pathetic.
Wow.
"Fuck you"?
Yes.
Whe where, stay.
Stay. Please, please stay here.
Please stay here. Please.
I can't stand you anymore.
[soft dramatic music plays]
[shouting] If anything,
I should be the one walking out!
I don't give a shit about your palace!
[soft dramatic music continues]
"No class."
No class. No class.
[steady tense music plays]
[Bea] What is this place?
[Phoebe] I don't know.
But we'll be safe for now.
[dog barking]
-It's closed.
-[Bea] It looks like a prison.
[gate buzzes, opens]
[Phoebe] Come on.
[gate closes]
Bea and Phoebe?
-Um, Phoebe.
-Hello. I'm Jessica.
We've been expecting you.
Come with me.
I'll show you where you can sleep.
-I assume you're pretty tired.
-[Phoebe] Yeah.
[TV host] Following the explosion
and subsequent blaze
in an apartment in the Climate Dome,
the fire has now been
completely extinguished.
Wait a second.
regarding damage to the roof structure
and its impact
on the Dome's energy supply.
Okay. This way.
[Bea] Who was that?
[Jessica] That's Friedrich.
He created this place.
Everything you'll need is in this closet.
Towels, toiletries. Everything's there.
Breakfast starts at seven,
downstairs in the communal room.
Okay
Tomorrow I'll show you the rest.
You should feel right at home here.
Everyone else
is looking forward to meeting you.
[door closes]
[Phoebe sighs]
-[sirens wailing]
-[equipment drilling]
[aircraft droning overhead]
[indistinct chatter on police radio]
POLICE
-Hey.
-Okay, you're clear.
[clattering]
[items clattering]
[sighs]
This is just standard procedure.
It doesn't mean anything at all.
-You know Bea. It wasn't her.
-I know.
[Carl] I know, Laura.
It'll all get sorted.
[door closes]
I followed one of those
delivery trucks from the arcade.
It drove into a tunnel,
on private property, but
the ventilation shafts seem to lead
under the Dome.
And?
[exhales]
Laura, your entire house
is full of police.
State security has gotten involved.
You're the center of attention now.
If you have anything I should know,
now would be the time to tell me.
What do you want from me?
If there's any truth to this,
then that means
your department's responsible.
Have you gone insane, Carl?
[Bea] Hopefully this Friedrich
isn't a weirdo.
We need to go find the nearest hospital.
When do you need to get dialysis?
Tomorrow.
Maybe
-Huh?
-We could get another appointment.
I'll go back on dialysis.
It's been working for years.
Yeah, send it over.
-[Oliver] That is the only way
-Johan's man is becoming a real problem.
Free guns for a free Berlin.
[Zeno] He's calling on the people
to take action against the blood trade.
This is going to affect the supply.
[phone buzzing]
IT CAN'T ALL HAVE BEEN FOR NOTHING.
WHAT'S YOUR PLAN?
Show them.
[gang member] Like me, he believed
the Dome was safe.
The idea was beautiful, but it's no longer
an option for our territory.
As long as it's not clear who else knows,
we're no longer safe in the Dome.
[engine starts]
[assistant] Are you coming?
[reporter] Following the devastating
attack on Berlin's Climate Dome,
in which, according
to current information,
six people were killed
and over 40 were injured,
some critically, hospitals in Berlin
are appealing to the public
for blood donations.
Hospitals have warned
that current blood reserves
will not be enough to treat the wounded.
And once again, the question arises
where is the blood
from the illegal blood trade going?
We will now go to a live press conference
with Prime Minister Hilda Klein.
I am deeply saddened and shocked
by this senseless and incomprehensible
attack on the Climate Dome,
in which six innocent people
lost their lives
and so many others were injured.
All my thoughts are with the dead,
and with all the injured.
With their relatives, family, and friends.
But I am also thinking of the volunteers,
the police, the fire department.
I'd like to take this opportunity
to express my deepest gratitude.

-[sighs deeply]
[sniffles]
[sighs]
[breath shaking]
-[somber music continues]
-[sniffles]
Bea?
Where are you?
Please, I just want to know you're okay.
Even
if you had anything
if you had anything to do with it.
I'm here, okay?
Tomorrow you need to do your treatment.
Come home.

17 MISSED CALLS FROM MOM
MOM: BEA, PLEASE ANSWER ME. YOU CAN'
JUST THROW EVERYTHING AWAY NOW.
[soft dramatic music plays]
GOOD LUCK.
ARE YOU OKAY?
I'M WAITING IN FRONT OF THE ENTRANCE.
I'M ALMOST THERE!
WHAT HAPPENED? I DON'T UNDERSTAND!
GET IN TOUCH!
ARE YOU OKAY? PLEASE BELIEVE ME,
IT WASN'T ME!
-Good morning.
-[Phoebe] Morning.
Can I borrow something to wear?
[Phoebe] Of course.
So, you two sleep well?
-[Phoebe] Yeah. Thank you.
-Yeah.
[Jessica] Come on in, then.
So, this is our breakfast room.
That's Sarah and Doro.
-And this is Phoebe and Bea.
-Hey.
[both]
Good morning.
Morning.
This is the breakfast buffet. You can
help yourselves to whatever you want.
Everything's for everyone.
Okay, is there anything else you need?
Uh, yeah, a hospital,
is there one near us?
A hospital? What happened? Why?
I need to go to dialysis.
Okay.
And by when at the latest?
Technically today.
Okay, so the nearest town
is at minimum, an hour away from here,
but, um, I'll think on that.
We can definitely figure something out.
But for now,
enjoy your breakfast in peace.
You can look around.
If you have questions, I'm sure
Lukas will be happy to help you out.
[chuckles]
-See you later.
-[Phoebe] Thank you.
-I'll go get us something.
-Mm-hmm.
[indistinct chatter]
[Phoebe] Can I just take this?
Do you see this?
There's fresh fruit everywhere.
-[chomping]
-Mm-hmm.
[Phoebe] Awesome,
I haven't had any in forever.
[indistinct chatter]
[moans]
-Aren't you hungry? It's free.
-No. Not yet.
Hey, what's up with
all the windows being closed?
[Phoebe] Hm.
Don't know. The heat?
I think I'm gonna look around.
[Phoebe] Mm-hmm. Yeah.
[pensive music plays]
[children laughing]
[child] I'm gonna finish the sky.
Is there a blue one?
[children laughing]
[whirring]
That arm? Okay, this won't take long.
[machine beeps]
[guest] Great job.
[pensive music continues]
[Jessica] Bea?
So?
Fascinating, right?
[chuckles]
For years, we've researched
self-sustaining systems here.
See that glass-like membrane up there?
It has a special filter.
This lets us regulate how much
of the light's components
are allowed to come in.
So the climate here is always perfect.
-Want one?
-No.
-[guest] Jessica?
-[Jessica] Yeah?
-[guest] Can you come here a second?
-Just a sec. I'll come right back.

The girls have been found.
We were able to track them.
They're at the Institute with Friedrich.
-[sighs]
-[Szen] With Friedrich?
Where is Johan?
He's in his apartment.
What should we do with the sisters?
They will need to be terminated.
Send Roberto and his team.
