City of Blood (2026) s01e07 Episode Script
Episode 7
1
We developed a new form of technology
that extracts sustainable energy
from human blood.
And the people deserve
to know what's going on.
-[Bea] They're here because of me.
-[gunshots]
[Phoebe] Come on.
[car revving]
-[gunshots]
-[Bea shrieks]
How long can you sustain
the supply at this level?
-I can't.
-Find a solution.
Otherwise we'll have to destroy the Dome.
Humans and vampires depend on each other.
It's insane.
[Phoebe] How are you gonna prove
the Dome runs on blood?
This Dome uses human blood
as a source of energy.
[Bea] All this blood is the energy source
of this place.
This Dome was created by vampires.
Bea!
Sorry, too late for that.
[Dr. Karliczek]
An infection spread to her heart.
Get me out of here.
[Johan] If you vote for him, you vote
for a Dome that supports everyone.
This is the end of us.
Because at the end of the day,
our hearts beat like yours.
[doctor] Let's start with the basics.
At its core, a vampire could be described
as a human-like creature,
only with a completely altered metabolism.
Instead of consuming regular food,
they tap directly into the life energy
of others, for example, through blood.
So think of them like an energy parasite.
Considering this metabolic situation,
it would give them
some fairly extreme capabilities.
A vampire would likely be several times
stronger than a normal human,
with quick reflexes and rapid movements
that we could hardly follow.
Their second major ability
would be extremely swift healing.
As long as vampires have access to blood,
they could withstand virtually any injury,
as long as the heart
and throat remain intact.
I imagine this at a cellular level as
a highly optimized regeneration process.

[reporter 1] Four weeks
before the Berlin election,
the unbelievable has happened.
A previously unknown man
has just outed himself
as a vampire
in front of several journalists
The young Berlin journalist Bea Hoffmann,
revealed that the Climate Dome
is powered by nonhuman created,
blood-based technology.
According to our most recent information,
Oliver Lawal is currently being questioned
by state security.
[reporter 2] endorses construction
of additional Climate Domes
[reporter 3] What this shocking revelation
means for the ongoing campaign
and Oliver Lawal's candidacy
is unclear at this point.
Evidence that inhuman creatures
are present in Berlin,
can no longer be ignored.
And still we're faced with the question,
"How many vampires live in Berlin
and exactly how much of a threat
do they pose?"
We now go live to the Climate Dome
with our field reporter, Georgia Hayek.
Thank you, Vera. Yes, I'm here
in front of the Climate Dome,
which had a complete
evacuation earlier tonight,
and as you can see,
a massive crowd has been gathered outside.
[Georgia]
I'm speaking with an eyewitness.
Sir, you say you saw a vampire?
Yes, I have a coffee shop
in the Dome and
I knew something weird was going on there.
Like these vampires
You can see in their eyes
how they mind control you. It's crazy.
They have this I wasn't done.
They have this way of looking at you
that just they'll make you do
whatever they want.
While many Berliners
are calling for action
from the city against the vampires,
other citizens are now starting
to advocate
that the government consider taking on
the vampires' offer of support.
-[siren wailing]
-[helicopter whirring]
[doctor] We're dealing with a biofuel cell
that uses these enzymes capable of
oxidizing the components of human blood,
such as glucose
and other organic compounds.
The electrical energy generated is used
We have since been able to ascertain
that this Dome technology
is under the plaza
in an unauthorized area
of 50,000 square feet.
It wasn't mentioned in the blueprints,
and during all inspections
it's been left out.
Has Laura Hoffman had any comments
regarding this?
What's your current assessment
of the city's general safety?
We've reinforced emergency services
in specific zones.
I propose a curfew until we have control
over the situation.
Well, let me think about that. I want
to avoid troubling the people any further.
Have there been any clues regarding
Moderson's whereabouts?
We're evaluating eyewitness accounts
and video footage is under review.
-Anything from questioning Lawal?
-[officer] Nothing yet.
His attorney is on his way to see him.
I want a full and complete
threat assessment done
within the next 12 hours.
[Hilda] Let us assume the worst.
How many are there?
How dangerous are they?
In the event of an emergency,
what's our defense?
Above all, I want to know
our legal standing in terms of
taking action against them.
[phone ringing]
Okay.
Arrange a meeting with the leaders
of the other parties.
We need to show a united front.
And get me Lawal.
[reporter] Experts consider
the biotechnology found there
to be singularly unique.
For many citizens, it remains baffling
that the true nature of the Climate Dome
and the existence of vampires
only came to light through the research
of young journalist Bea Hoffmann.
The political implications
for her mother Laura Hoffmann,
who was heavily involved
in the Dome project
as secretary of construction
are currently unclear.

[siren wailing]
Hi, Laura.
Have a seat.
Vampires.
[Hilda] Feels like a horrible dream.
Were you aware
of what the Dome was hiding?
I had no idea.
How could you overlook
something like that?
Why don't we just end this gracefully?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
We'll put that on the back burner.
They're still getting evidence,
the inquiry committee.
You just need to keep your head down.
-Lawal won't let this go.
-There's protocol here.
Anything from Bea?
[sighs]
She's dying.
What?
Yeah.
And I thought I could make her life better
with that money.
[Laura] She's fought so hard,
all these years.
What money was that?
[inhales]
[exhales]
[pensive music plays]
[sighs]
Got it. Right.
[sighs]
I'm sorry.
[sighs]
I'd like to say
I might have acted differently,
but, uh well, who really knows?
[sighs]
[sniffles softly]
[sighs]
Right.
[sniffles]
[sniffles]
[sniffles]
OUR FUTURE IN GOOD HANDS
STRONG TOGETHER FOR BERLIN
[car engine shuts off]
We're here.
Here?
[soft panting]
[Phoebe] Oh. Careful.
What are we doing here?
I have a suggestion, okay?
Just listen first, don't freak out yet.
[Johan] Hello, Bea.
Wait.
I'm Johan.
[Bea breathes heavily]
You knew that they exist?
You knew it the whole time?
They're monsters! He's a monster!
[Phoebe] That's not true.
They're not all that way.
[Johan] You're right.
We are different.
But whether someone's a monster or not,
everyone decides that for themselves.
It's the same for us as it is for you.
Bea, he can help you.
You don't have to die.
[breathing shakily]
[sighs]
So, that's why we're here?
You want me to turn into them?
[Bea] Are you crazy?
Bea, I I want to have time with you.
I want to get to know you.
Please.
The key.
-No. Come on--
-Give me the key.
In the car.
-[Phoebe] I'm coming--
-[Bea] No!
[somber music plays]
[Phoebe] Why didn't you just do it?
[sobbing]
[sniffling]
[sighs]
[engine starts, revs]
[crying]
[panting]
[sighs]
[Hilda] Thank you for your patience.
In such difficult times,
it is important to assess the situation
calmly and with rationality.
Since the outset of these events,
my crisis team and I have been busy
analyzing the circumstances
in great detail in order to develop
an appropriate action plan
as quickly as possible.
At the moment, we can reasonably say
with certainty,
that this man who calls himself
Johan Moderson is not a human being.
[press clamoring]
And and what's more, we have people
busy with analyzing the situation.
International experts
are on their way to Berlin.
You'll receive relevant information
as soon as it becomes available.
[journalist] What what does it mean?
Irrespective of who commits it,
we don't tolerate crime.
Hey, get out of here, assholes!
Wake the hell up!
Fuck you! Fuck off!
Hey!
Knock it off!
Oh, fuck off!
[Hilda] Regretfully, I must inform you
that all current evidence suggests
that Secretary of Construction,
Laura Hoffmann,
privately accepted direct payments
from the developer of the Climate Dome.
And that a proper building inspection
was never carried out.
For me, on both a political
and a personal level
Nothing. No one's seen them.
Klein's giving a press conference
about your sister.
[Hilda] for many years.
Corruption is a crime
we take very seriously.
One that is completely incompatible
with the fundamental values
that we stand for in our party.
The case has already been handed over
to the DA's office,
and we've initiated
a thorough investigation.
Laura Hoffmann will, of course,
face the fullest consequences
under criminal law.
[clicks]
This really pisses me off, man.
It's all about the money.
I get why Laura is totally fed up
with this fucking swamp.
Does your sister at least have
a nice Porsche now?
Think she's fed up like that, huh? Fucker.
[pensive music plays]
[car door closes]
[indistinct chatter]
[rock music plays]
So, how's it going? Everyone good?
We agreed on the amount of blood
you'd supply.
A hundred and twenty liters per day?
Not too much to ask, is it?
[dealer 1]
No, but we didn't stand a chance.
I see.
So, you're claiming that a shithead
vigilante group attacked you?
Well, yeah.
If you're not capable
of keeping our deal, then
we've got a problem.
Hm?
Give me your hand.
[dealer 2] Hey
So, now you ask your man
where the blood is.
-All our people were attacked--
-Shh!
I'd like for him to tell us
who stole our blood.
[Pit] Kevin, can you give me your weapon?
[gun clicks]
If by the count of three
he doesn't answer, you shoot.
[breathes shakily]
Okay
[Pit] One.
Two.
[gun clicks]
-Ooh.
-[breathes heavily]
Whoo!
[chuckles]
[Pit] The next time someone
tries to rip you off,
just pull the trigger,
it's not that hard, is it?
[chuckles]
Tell your men it'll be 200 liters
from now on.
-So, you two get scared?
-[Kevin] I wasn't scared, but
[both chuckle]
[Pit] I'm not gonna let some vigilantes
ruin my business.
[truck horn blaring]
[keys jingle]
-[car engine starts]
-[dashboard chimes]
[car brake squeaks]
[sighs]
[local] Hey.
We haven't had any gas for a long time.
But we have coffee.
And a telephone?
It'll cost you.
[local] Hey, aren't you the girl from TV?
AUFBRUCH BERLIN AB! WE HAVE TO ACT!
[door opens]
[door closes]
[exhales sharply]
[Farah] State security was here.
Asked a lot of questions
I was unable to answer.
I know, but there's no specific law yet
that prohibits interaction with vampires.
How long have you known?
Can can I first take a shower?
Sit down right now and explain it to me.
[sighs]
Is this behind
your blood trade legalization?
Would you even have believed me?
"Berlin for Berliners,"
that's been your position,
and that we should protect ourselves.
[Farah] These are not our people.
These are creatures, blood drinkers.
Now suddenly,
it doesn't matter, right? Why?
-They have been using you.
-Yes.
Of course they've been using me.
I know, I I know that, but
we
can also benefit from this.
Berlin can
benefit from them.
You cannot be that naive.
If I hadn't been the one,
another party would've done it.
At least with me doing this
we have a chance
to have control here.
You are their mouthpiece, you're a fucking
marionette, don't you get that?
[siren wailing softly]
Well, what should I do, then?
What do you suggest?
What should I do?
Sh should I just quit, then?
Fine. Then then let's get out of here.
The two of us. Anywhere at all.
We we we should
[sighs] C can we escape?
[soft tense music plays]
[inhales] Klein's office called us.
You should listen to her offer.
[exhales]
[reporter] It is not yet known
how long Oliver Lawal
has been working
with these alleged vampires.
While some critics are calling
for the party of Aufbruch Berlin
to be outlawed
ahead of the election, there are also
some die-hard supporters who see
positive aspects to the vampires' offer.
[country music plays]
[local] So?
You ever seen one in real life?
A vampire, I mean.
Okay, what are they like?
-They're monsters.
-[local] Oh yeah?
But that guy on TV,
what he's saying doesn't sound that bad.
You know
I used to walk in those woods
in the spring.
You know what I found? Real poppies.
You don't know what those are
anymore, do you?
On weekends, there was usually
meat for everyone.
Can't imagine that today, though, can you?
You know what? We fucked it up.
That's just my opinion.
So many tax dollars, so many years,
so many smart people.
And we just couldn't figure it out.
So maybe we really do need
someone to save us.
An alien
a vampire.
Doesn't matter who,
it really could be anyone.
[local] Mmm
Your prince is here.
Finally.
Our little celebrity
has been waiting for hours.
A coffee, please.
You don't look so great.
[chuckles softly]
Thank you.
You look like shit, too.
[chuckles softly]
LIVE AUS BERLIN BREAKING.
I'm really sorry about Farid.
Where's your sister?
She's with Johan Moderson.
What? The vampire?
She was with him in the Dome.
She brought me to him yesterday
to try and get me to turn.
She used me.
She knew they existed the whole time.
And where are they now?
They're in some factory compound
ten minutes from here.
[Bea] They're hiding out
in this trailer there.
So what's our plan now?
Nothing.
I'd like you to drive me home.
Okay.
I'll go pay.
[Bea] We have to get going,
so I'd like to pay.
You can keep the change.
Do you think we could take
a quick picture?
[local] For my niece?
[upbeat music plays]
[somber music plays]
[sobs]
[tense music plays]
[car door opens]
[car door closes]
[sniffles, sighs]
[grunts softly]
[Phoebe] What time is it?
I don't know.
[Johan] Light.
[Phoebe cries]
Why would she rather die? [sniffles]
In her position, would you have chosen
any differently?
[Phoebe sobbing]
[gentle music plays]
I know more than anything the pain
of losing somebody that you love.
[Johan] Immortality is its own curse.
You watch everything and everyone
around you pass away,
until all you are
is loneliness and the past.
But the work gave me opportunity
to create something
that would give us all a future.
I know that living together
in harmony is possible.
All that's left is for the people
of Berlin to see it too.
[sighs]
[breathes sharply]
[Yassin] Phoebe!
If you're in there, come out!
[exhales sharply]
[Yassin] Phoebe!
[breathes shakily]
[intense suspenseful music plays]
[gunshots]
-[gunshots]
-[glass shattering]
[Johan] Come on, get in.
[gunshots]
[panting]
[Johan grunts]
[grunts, groans]
Get get it out.
-[Phoebe] Hm?
-[Johan] Get it out.
[Johan panting rapidly]
Get it out.
[grunts]
[groans] Yeah.
-Like that?
-Yes.
[exhales]
Ah, silver.
What?
Your sister told someone where we are.
[exhales]
[suspenseful music plays]
[glass shatters]
[suspenseful music continues]
Johan.
Johan.
Please, press down.
[Phoebe] I'll get blood.
[gasps]
[coughs]
[coughs]
[Phoebe] Nothing's left up there.
[coughing]
[Phoebe breathes heavily]
[breathes shakily]
[Johan grunts]
[fire rumbling]
I would need too much.
[suspenseful music plays]
[inhales deeply]
[Phoebe] You said
that you could control it.
[suspenseful music continues]
[Johan groaning]
[local] All right, there you go.
[slow country music plays]
[local] Hello?
[tapping]
Hello?
Hello?
Hey.
Oh, shit.
[rap music plays]
[door latch clicks]
[car doors close]
What's going on?
Here to see him.
He's not here.
What's the plan for us next?
[Pit] Legalization fucks up
my whole business.
Not my problem.
Okay.
We can wait.
Or you can turn around and drive home.
-[Kevin] No. Fuck that.
-[guard] Whoa.
-Take it easy, man.
-We're here, asshole. What? What?
-[guard] Back off!
-Come on!
Stupid move, bro.
[gang member] Steady hands, asshole.
I'll fucking end you.
-[guard] Get back now.
-Okay, come on.
[Kevin] Fucker.
[via radio] Bring Zocha in, but only him.
You're coming in. Alone.
[ominous music plays]
Okay.
What? Hey.
Hey. Take this with you.
-Aren't you embarrassed with that thing?
-Take it, man.
[car revs]
Shit.
It was rather brave of you to come.
[footsteps fading]
I'm here to talk to someone
who's in charge.
Regarding what?
Regarding the fucking blood.
I've always known
that Zeno's nothing but a rat.
This move for legalization,
is that part of the plan?
[Pit] And what will I have
if that prick, Lawal, gets elected?
Nothing.
I have a daughter.
And she has a fucking demanding mother.
So, let's be clear
if you want to keep deliveries up,
I'll be charging you extra.
Okay.
[boss] As long as you deliver.
Mm-hm.
Of course, this is when
the bullshit starts again.
You know, I'd really like to understand
what he was thinking.
What's going on in his twisted head?
This makes no sense.
-What makes no sense?
-I mean, he blows up the fucking Dome.
And then wants my guys to piss off Lawal.
Of course that guy went
and declared war on us.
How can I keep delivering
when they're all too scared to sell blood?
And just this morning, goddamn vigilantes
raided one of my blood banks.
Are you still in charge of this ship?
What happens now?
Is this your strategy? Huh?
That guy is a psycho.
[Pit] He's completely insane.
He's got some marbles missing. [whistles]
[chuckles]
[menacing music plays]
[gagging, gurgling]
Nobody talks about my son that way.
[Pit choking]
[suspenseful music plays]
[car doors close]
You're the boss now.
You're gonna drive home
and make sure the deliveries continue.
Are we understood?
[music stops]
[Oliver] So, this is actually
an offer for a deal.
To work together, do I have that right?
[Hilda] Yes.
Provided you reconsider your attitude
toward these beings
and distance yourself publicly
from Johan Moderson.
That's
that's a full-on 180 shift.
It isn't your first one.
[laughs]
Okay.
I'm not sure this will work.
What about my constituents
who want to accept the vampires' terms?
I mean, we know they're in the city now.
You can't simply ignore that.
To tolerate this is, in my opinion,
going about this the wrong way.
Hm.
Certainly an interesting point of view
for someone like you.
We both know that you won't be able
to win a seat in the government.
You can see how we might feel differently.
I am giving you a chance
to govern Berlin with me, together.
You'll be Secretary of State.
In a few years, you'll succeed me.
Isn't that what you want?
[Hilda] You, too, want this city
to finally find peace.
-We'll have to think it over.
-Yep.
Good.
[sighs, clears throat]
This isn't just about the win.
[Hilda] This is about defending
the democracy of this city.
AB! AUFBRUCH BERLIN
-[scoffs]
-[laughs]
Who would have thought?
-[chuckles]
-[Farah laughs]
I I I'm gonna look ridiculous
if I change change positions again.
When you're forming a government, you have
to change positions from time to time.
Sure.
And, in a coalition with Klein,
we can dictate the course.
We haven't been in this position.
You are the kingmaker.
Do you understand that?
A kingmaker, huh?
Yeah, well
That actually sounds
not too bad.
Johan, it'll be dark soon.
No, I can't anymore.
Stop, don't do that.
Johan. Don't do that.
[hisses]
Get off.
Johan.
You have to stop!
[both breathing heavily]
[suspenseful music playing]
[Phoebe grunts]
[groans]
[Phoebe] Stop it!
[gasps]
[operatic music plays]
Thyra said you wanted to speak?
I know you've always been skeptical
about Johan.
You never wanted to hear it.
It was always about the Dome, the light.
You know your contributions
were just as crucial.
Oh, yeah? It didn't really feel that way.
[Zeno] Johan always treated me like dirt.
He was the great visionary,
the Wunderkind who was applauded by all,
applauded by you.
They were always pressuring me.
"More blood, we need more blood."
And then they accused me
of doing sloppy work.
I misjudged the architect.
Especially regarding loyalty.
[inhales] Johan's a goddamn rat
who put us all in danger.
[Zeno] But no one
wanted to see that. No one.
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.
In your time as a human, you failed.
I decided to make you one of us
to gift you the chance to make something
of your life, and hoping always
that I could be proud of you someday.
[melancholy music plays]
[chuckling]
[gentle music plays]
-[Phoebe groans]
-[Johan] Shh.

We developed a new form of technology

from human blood.
And the people deserve
to know what's going on.
-[Bea] They're here because of me.
-[gunshots]
[Phoebe] Come on.
[car revving]
-[gunshots]
-[Bea shrieks]
How long can you sustain
the supply at this level?
-I can't.
-Find a solution.
Otherwise we'll have to destroy the Dome.
Humans and vampires depend on each other.
It's insane.
[Phoebe] How are you gonna prove
the Dome runs on blood?
This Dome uses human blood
as a source of energy.
[Bea] All this blood is the energy source
of this place.
This Dome was created by vampires.
Bea!
Sorry, too late for that.
[Dr. Karliczek]
An infection spread to her heart.
Get me out of here.
[Johan] If you vote for him, you vote
for a Dome that supports everyone.
This is the end of us.
Because at the end of the day,
our hearts beat like yours.
[doctor] Let's start with the basics.
At its core, a vampire could be described

with quick reflexes and rapid movements
that we could hardly follow.
Their second major ability

As long as vampires have access to blood,
they could withstand virtually any injury,
as long as the heart
and throat remain intact.
I imagine this at a cellular level as
a highly optimized regeneration process.

[reporter 1] Four weeks
before the Berlin election,
the unbelievable has happened.
A previously unknown man
has just outed himself
as a vampire
in front of several journalists
The young Berlin journalist Bea Hoffmann,
revealed that the Climate Dome
is powered by nonhuman created,
blood-based technology.
According to our most recent information,
Oliver Lawal is currently being questioned
by state security.
[reporter 2] endorses construction
of additional Climate Domes
[reporter 3] What this shocking revelation
means for the ongoing campaign
and Oliver Lawal's candidacy
is unclear at this point.
Evidence that inhuman creatures
are present in Berlin,
can no longer be ignored.
And still we're faced with the question,
"How many vampires live in Berlin
and exactly how much of a threat
do they pose?"
We now go live to the Climate Dome
with our field reporter, Georgia Hayek.
Thank you, Vera. Yes, I'm here
in front of the Climate Dome,
which had a complete
evacuation earlier tonight,
and as you can see,
a massive crowd has been gathered outside.
[Georgia]
I'm speaking with an eyewitness.
Sir, you say you saw a vampire?
Yes, I have a coffee shop
in the Dome and
I knew something weird was going on there.
Like these vampires
You can see in their eyes
how they mind control you. It's crazy.
They have this I wasn't done.
They have this way of looking at you
that just they'll make you do
whatever they want.
While many Berliners
are calling for action
from the city against the vampires,
other citizens are now starting
to advocate
that the government consider taking on
the vampires' offer of support.
-[siren wailing]
-[helicopter whirring]
[doctor] We're dealing with a biofuel cell
that uses these enzymes capable of
oxidizing the components of human blood,
such as glucose
and other organic compounds.
The electrical energy generated is used
We have since been able to ascertain
that this Dome technology
is under the plaza
in an unauthorized area
of 50,000 square feet.
It wasn't mentioned in the blueprints,
and during all inspections
it's been left out.
Has Laura Hoffman had any comments
regarding this?
What's your current assessment
of the city's general safety?
We've reinforced emergency services
in specific zones.
I propose a curfew until we have control
over the situation.
Well, let me think about that. I want
to avoid troubling the people any further.
Have there been any clues regarding
Moderson's whereabouts?
We're evaluating eyewitness accounts
and video footage is under review.
-Anything from questioning Lawal?
-[officer] Nothing yet.
His attorney is on his way to see him.
I want a full and complete
threat assessment done
within the next 12 hours.
[Hilda] Let us assume the worst.
How many are there?
How dangerous are they?
In the event of an emergency,
what's our defense?
Above all, I want to know
our legal standing in terms of
taking action against them.
[phone ringing]
Okay.
Arrange a meeting with the leaders
of the other parties.
We need to show a united front.
And get me Lawal.
[reporter] Experts consider
the biotechnology found there
to be singularly unique.
For many citizens, it remains baffling
that the true nature of the Climate Dome
and the existence of vampires
only came to light through the research
of young journalist Bea Hoffmann.
The political implications
for her mother Laura Hoffmann,
who was heavily involved
in the Dome project
as secretary of construction
are currently unclear.

[siren wailing]
Hi, Laura.
Have a seat.
Vampires.
[Hilda] Feels like a horrible dream.
Were you aware
of what the Dome was hiding?
I had no idea.
How could you overlook
something like that?
Why don't we just end this gracefully?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
We'll put that on the back burner.
They're still getting evidence,
the inquiry committee.
You just need to keep your head down.
-Lawal won't let this go.
-There's protocol here.
Anything from Bea?
[sighs]
She's dying.
What?
Yeah.
And I thought I could make her life better
with that money.
[Laura] She's fought so hard,
all these years.
What money was that?
[inhales]
[exhales]
[pensive music plays]
[sighs]
Got it. Right.
[sighs]
I'm sorry.
[sighs]
I'd like to say
I might have acted differently,
but, uh well, who really knows?
[sighs]
[sniffles softly]
[sighs]
Right.

OUR FUTURE IN GOOD HANDS
STRONG TOGETHER FOR BERLIN
[car engine shuts off]
We're here.
Here?
[soft panting]
[Phoebe] Oh. Careful.
What are we doing here?
I have a suggestion, okay?
Just listen first, don't freak out yet.
[Johan] Hello, Bea.
Wait.
I'm Johan.
[Bea breathes heavily]
You knew that they exist?
You knew it the whole time?
They're monsters! He's a monster!
[Phoebe] That's not true.
They're not all that way.
[Johan] You're right.
We are different.
But whether someone's a monster or not,
everyone decides that for themselves.
It's the same for us as it is for you.
Bea, he can help you.
You don't have to die.
[breathing shakily]
[sighs]
So, that's why we're here?
You want me to turn into them?
[Bea] Are you crazy?
Bea, I I want to have time with you.
I want to get to know you.
Please.
The key.
-No. Come on--
-Give me the key.
In the car.
-[Phoebe] I'm coming--
-[Bea] No!
[somber music plays]
[Phoebe] Why didn't you just do it?
[sobbing]
[sniffling]
[sighs]
[engine starts, revs]
[crying]
[panting]
[sighs]
[Hilda] Thank you for your patience.
In such difficult times,
it is important to assess the situation
calmly and with rationality.
Since the outset of these events,
my crisis team and I have been busy
analyzing the circumstances
in great detail in order to develop
an appropriate action plan
as quickly as possible.
At the moment, we can reasonably say
with certainty,
that this man who calls himself
Johan Moderson is not a human being.
[press clamoring]
And and what's more, we have people
busy with analyzing the situation.
International experts
are on their way to Berlin.
You'll receive relevant information
as soon as it becomes available.
[journalist] What what does it mean?
Irrespective of who commits it,
we don't tolerate crime.
Hey, get out of here, assholes!
Wake the hell up!
Fuck you! Fuck off!
Hey!
Knock it off!
Oh, fuck off!
[Hilda] Regretfully, I must inform you
that all current evidence suggests
that Secretary of Construction,
Laura Hoffmann,
privately accepted direct payments
from the developer of the Climate Dome.
And that a proper building inspection
was never carried out.
For me, on both a political
and a personal level
Nothing. No one's seen them.
Klein's giving a press conference
about your sister.
[Hilda] for many years.
Corruption is a crime
we take very seriously.
One that is completely incompatible
with the fundamental values
that we stand for in our party.
The case has already been handed over
to the DA's office,
and we've initiated
a thorough investigation.
Laura Hoffmann will, of course,
face the fullest consequences
under criminal law.
[clicks]
This really pisses me off, man.
It's all about the money.
I get why Laura is totally fed up
with this fucking swamp.
Does your sister at least have
a nice Porsche now?
Think she's fed up like that, huh? Fucker.
[pensive music plays]
[car door closes]
[indistinct chatter]
[rock music plays]
So, how's it going? Everyone good?
We agreed on the amount of blood
you'd supply.
A hundred and twenty liters per day?
Not too much to ask, is it?
[dealer 1]
No, but we didn't stand a chance.
I see.
So, you're claiming that a shithead
vigilante group attacked you?
Well, yeah.
If you're not capable
of keeping our deal, then
we've got a problem.
Hm?
Give me your hand.
[dealer 2] Hey
So, now you ask your man
where the blood is.
-All our people were attacked--
-Shh!
I'd like for him to tell us
who stole our blood.
[Pit] Kevin, can you give me your weapon?
[gun clicks]
If by the count of three
he doesn't answer, you shoot.
[breathes shakily]
Okay
[Pit] One.
Two.
[gun clicks]
-Ooh.
-[breathes heavily]
Whoo!
[chuckles]
[Pit] The next time someone
tries to rip you off,
just pull the trigger,
it's not that hard, is it?
[chuckles]
Tell your men it'll be 200 liters
from now on.
-So, you two get scared?
-[Kevin] I wasn't scared, but
[both chuckle]
[Pit] I'm not gonna let some vigilantes
ruin my business.
[truck horn blaring]
[keys jingle]
-[car engine starts]
-[dashboard chimes]
[car brake squeaks]
[sighs]
[local] Hey.
We haven't had any gas for a long time.
But we have coffee.
And a telephone?
It'll cost you.
[local] Hey, aren't you the girl from TV?
AUFBRUCH BERLIN AB! WE HAVE TO ACT!
[door opens]
[door closes]
[exhales sharply]
[Farah] State security was here.
Asked a lot of questions
I was unable to answer.
I know, but there's no specific law yet
that prohibits interaction with vampires.
How long have you known?
Can can I first take a shower?
Sit down right now and explain it to me.
[sighs]
Is this behind
your blood trade legalization?
Would you even have believed me?
"Berlin for Berliners,"
that's been your position,
and that we should protect ourselves.
[Farah] These are not our people.
These are creatures, blood drinkers.
Now suddenly,
it doesn't matter, right? Why?
-They have been using you.
-Yes.
Of course they've been using me.
I know, I I know that, but
we
can also benefit from this.
Berlin can
benefit from them.
You cannot be that naive.
If I hadn't been the one,
another party would've done it.
At least with me doing this
we have a chance
to have control here.
You are their mouthpiece, you're a fucking
marionette, don't you get that?
[siren wailing softly]
Well, what should I do, then?
What do you suggest?
What should I do?
Sh should I just quit, then?
Fine. Then then let's get out of here.
The two of us. Anywhere at all.
We we we should
[sighs] C can we escape?
[soft tense music plays]
[inhales] Klein's office called us.
You should listen to her offer.
[exhales]
[reporter] It is not yet known
how long Oliver Lawal
has been working
with these alleged vampires.
While some critics are calling
for the party of Aufbruch Berlin
to be outlawed
ahead of the election, there are also
some die-hard supporters who see
positive aspects to the vampires' offer.
[country music plays]
[local] So?
You ever seen one in real life?
A vampire, I mean.
Okay, what are they like?
-They're monsters.
-[local] Oh yeah?
But that guy on TV,
what he's saying doesn't sound that bad.
You know
I used to walk in those woods
in the spring.
You know what I found? Real poppies.
You don't know what those are
anymore, do you?
On weekends, there was usually
meat for everyone.
Can't imagine that today, though, can you?
You know what? We fucked it up.
That's just my opinion.
So many tax dollars, so many years,
so many smart people.
And we just couldn't figure it out.
So maybe we really do need
someone to save us.
An alien
a vampire.
Doesn't matter who,
it really could be anyone.
[local] Mmm
Your prince is here.
Finally.
Our little celebrity
has been waiting for hours.
A coffee, please.
You don't look so great.
[chuckles softly]
Thank you.
You look like shit, too.
[chuckles softly]
LIVE AUS BERLIN BREAKING.
I'm really sorry about Farid.
Where's your sister?
She's with Johan Moderson.
What? The vampire?
She was with him in the Dome.
She brought me to him yesterday
to try and get me to turn.
She used me.
She knew they existed the whole time.
And where are they now?
They're in some factory compound
ten minutes from here.
[Bea] They're hiding out
in this trailer there.
So what's our plan now?
Nothing.
I'd like you to drive me home.
Okay.
I'll go pay.
[Bea] We have to get going,
so I'd like to pay.
You can keep the change.
Do you think we could take
a quick picture?
[local] For my niece?
[upbeat music plays]
[somber music plays]
[sobs]
[tense music plays]
[car door opens]
[car door closes]
[sniffles, sighs]
[grunts softly]
[Phoebe] What time is it?
I don't know.
[Johan] Light.
[Phoebe cries]
Why would she rather die? [sniffles]
In her position, would you have chosen
any differently?
[Phoebe sobbing]
[gentle music plays]
I know more than anything the pain
of losing somebody that you love.
[Johan] Immortality is its own curse.
You watch everything and everyone
around you pass away,
until all you are
is loneliness and the past.
But the work gave me opportunity
to create something
that would give us all a future.
I know that living together
in harmony is possible.
All that's left is for the people
of Berlin to see it too.
[sighs]
[breathes sharply]
[Yassin] Phoebe!
If you're in there, come out!
[exhales sharply]
[Yassin] Phoebe!
[breathes shakily]
[intense suspenseful music plays]

-[gunshots]
-[glass shattering]
[Johan] Come on, get in.

-[Phoebe] Hm?
-[Johan] Get it out.
[Johan panting rapidly]
Get it out.
[grunts]
[groans] Yeah.
-Like that?
-Yes.
[exhales]
Ah, silver.
What?
Your sister told someone where we are.
[exhales]
[suspenseful music plays]
[glass shatters]
[suspenseful music continues]
Johan.
Johan.
Please, press down.
[Phoebe] I'll get blood.

[Phoebe] Nothing's left up there.
[coughing]
[Phoebe breathes heavily]
[breathes shakily]
[Johan grunts]
[fire rumbling]
I would need too much.
[suspenseful music plays]
[inhales deeply]
[Phoebe] You said
that you could control it.
[suspenseful music continues]
[Johan groaning]
[local] All right, there you go.
[slow country music plays]
[local] Hello?
[tapping]
Hello?
Hello?
Hey.
Oh, shit.
[rap music plays]
[door latch clicks]
[car doors close]
What's going on?
Here to see him.
He's not here.
What's the plan for us next?
[Pit] Legalization fucks up
my whole business.
Not my problem.
Okay.
We can wait.
Or you can turn around and drive home.
-[Kevin] No. Fuck that.
-[guard] Whoa.
-Take it easy, man.
-We're here, asshole. What? What?
-[guard] Back off!
-Come on!
Stupid move, bro.
[gang member] Steady hands, asshole.
I'll fucking end you.
-[guard] Get back now.
-Okay, come on.
[Kevin] Fucker.
[via radio] Bring Zocha in, but only him.
You're coming in. Alone.
[ominous music plays]
Okay.
What? Hey.
Hey. Take this with you.
-Aren't you embarrassed with that thing?
-Take it, man.
[car revs]
Shit.
It was rather brave of you to come.
[footsteps fading]
I'm here to talk to someone
who's in charge.
Regarding what?
Regarding the fucking blood.
I've always known
that Zeno's nothing but a rat.
This move for legalization,
is that part of the plan?
[Pit] And what will I have
if that prick, Lawal, gets elected?
Nothing.
I have a daughter.
And she has a fucking demanding mother.
So, let's be clear
if you want to keep deliveries up,
I'll be charging you extra.
Okay.
[boss] As long as you deliver.
Mm-hm.
Of course, this is when
the bullshit starts again.
You know, I'd really like to understand
what he was thinking.
What's going on in his twisted head?
This makes no sense.
-What makes no sense?
-I mean, he blows up the fucking Dome.
And then wants my guys to piss off Lawal.
Of course that guy went
and declared war on us.
How can I keep delivering
when they're all too scared to sell blood?
And just this morning, goddamn vigilantes
raided one of my blood banks.
Are you still in charge of this ship?
What happens now?
Is this your strategy? Huh?
That guy is a psycho.
[Pit] He's completely insane.
He's got some marbles missing. [whistles]
[chuckles]
[menacing music plays]
[gagging, gurgling]
Nobody talks about my son that way.
[Pit choking]
[suspenseful music plays]
[car doors close]
You're the boss now.
You're gonna drive home
and make sure the deliveries continue.
Are we understood?
[music stops]
[Oliver] So, this is actually
an offer for a deal.
To work together, do I have that right?
[Hilda] Yes.
Provided you reconsider your attitude
toward these beings
and distance yourself publicly
from Johan Moderson.
That's
that's a full-on 180 shift.
It isn't your first one.
[laughs]
Okay.
I'm not sure this will work.
What about my constituents
who want to accept the vampires' terms?
I mean, we know they're in the city now.
You can't simply ignore that.
To tolerate this is, in my opinion,
going about this the wrong way.
Hm.
Certainly an interesting point of view
for someone like you.
We both know that you won't be able
to win a seat in the government.
You can see how we might feel differently.
I am giving you a chance
to govern Berlin with me, together.
You'll be Secretary of State.
In a few years, you'll succeed me.
Isn't that what you want?
[Hilda] You, too, want this city
to finally find peace.
-We'll have to think it over.
-Yep.
Good.
[sighs, clears throat]
This isn't just about the win.
[Hilda] This is about defending
the democracy of this city.
AB! AUFBRUCH BERLIN
-[scoffs]
-[laughs]
Who would have thought?
-[chuckles]
-[Farah laughs]
I I I'm gonna look ridiculous
if I change change positions again.
When you're forming a government, you have
to change positions from time to time.
Sure.
And, in a coalition with Klein,
we can dictate the course.
We haven't been in this position.
You are the kingmaker.
Do you understand that?
A kingmaker, huh?
Yeah, well
That actually sounds
not too bad.
Johan, it'll be dark soon.
No, I can't anymore.
Stop, don't do that.
Johan. Don't do that.
[hisses]
Get off.
Johan.
You have to stop!
[both breathing heavily]
[suspenseful music playing]
[Phoebe grunts]
[groans]
[Phoebe] Stop it!
[gasps]
[operatic music plays]
Thyra said you wanted to speak?
I know you've always been skeptical
about Johan.
You never wanted to hear it.
It was always about the Dome, the light.
You know your contributions
were just as crucial.
Oh, yeah? It didn't really feel that way.
[Zeno] Johan always treated me like dirt.
He was the great visionary,
the Wunderkind who was applauded by all,
applauded by you.
They were always pressuring me.
"More blood, we need more blood."
And then they accused me
of doing sloppy work.
I misjudged the architect.
Especially regarding loyalty.
[inhales] Johan's a goddamn rat
who put us all in danger.
[Zeno] But no one
wanted to see that. No one.
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.
In your time as a human, you failed.
I decided to make you one of us
to gift you the chance to make something
of your life, and hoping always
that I could be proud of you someday.
