Berlin Is My Oyster (8/10)

Andrei uses Mischa to eliminate Gorsky and Lottner. He instructs Bernd Hollmann to convince the LKA team to raid the Odessa. Andrei will make sure nothing will be found in the raid. A clue that Marek Gorsky is the brother of the Odessa's boss will suffice and then it's clear who betrayed the raid. The plan works. Nico Roeber throws Gorsky and Lottner off the investigating team.

 

Gorsky and Lottner continue their investigation, without the LKA's back up, while the traitors in the LKA, Bernd Hollmann and Sabine Jaschke, fall victim to their own contradictions. The reward for treachery, the money, that Hollmann has hidden in the cellar of his apartment building, is found. When his wife threatens to leave him and take the children, Hollmann is forced to tell the truth to his lover and accomplice Sabine Jaschke. He will never leave his family, he is too attached to his children. Sabine Jaschke grabs the car's steering wheel. The two end up in a canal. Hollmann is able to save Jascke but the dirty money is floating on the surface of the canal as the police arrive.  

 

Jelena asks Gorsky and Lottner to take a look in the King George to see if Svetlana is alright. Here, Lottner learns Svetlana is no longer working in the brothel. At the same time he sees a group of Vietnamese boasting about the good business they are making selling cigarettes. Lottner decides to follow the Vietnamese. In the meantime Gorsky tell Jelena that Svetlana has vanished. They both spend the night together, not that Gorsky is really able to set aside his mistrust of Jelena. During the night Jelena's mobile phone rings. Svetlana begs Jelena to rescue her from the brothel in Belorussia.

"500 minutes of suspense, in ten chock-full episodes, on a par with any big-budget blockbuster. (...) A gift to the audience and a piece of big-screen drama of the sort we need more of (...) The cast is stunning..." Frankfurter Allgemeine
