Blackout (2021–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - Ins Herz der Finsternis - full transcript

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done

on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread

and forgive us our trespasses as
we forgive those who trespass against us.

Help! Help!

She needs a doctor!

Help! She needs a doctor. Please!

Help!

Let me pass, I'm a physician.

It's okay. Everything's okay.



Over there. Come with me.

She's dead.

Hey! Wait! Stop!

Suspect is walking towards Domstrasse.

Okay, I'm coming back.

No, negative. We will take care of it.

Should I come with you?

No.

I'd rather go alone.

Lisa?

Marie?

I'm sure they are in a safe place.

Frauke, let's pack up our things.

All right.



Hello.

-Where were you?
-At my dad's.

And then at church.

We don't need this much,
do you want mine?

Thank you, that's nice of you.
But I already had some.

-Can we go play too?
-Yes.

Will you play with the little ones?

Now I have to babysit or what?

Fine. Come on.

-Do you know Twister?
-No.

You just have to stand somewhere
and then do what I say.

What do we do if the police
is looking for them?

I didn't really understand.

They saw the dead man.

They are not looking for any children.
They have other problems.

It's not your dad who has to go to prison.

He'll get life.

And you're involved too.

Franzi, what should I have done?

I couldn't leave the kids
alone in the apartment.

Without heat, power, gas.

And a corpse.

What do we do now?

Right hand... right foot on green.

I don't know.

One elbow on red.

Left foot on green.

His name is Jorge Pucao.

Born in 1980, in Buenos Aires.

Crossed the border to Russia on Monday
with a forged passport.

Majored in political science
and computer science.

Protested against
Russia's sovereign debt default.

Became an enemy of globalisation
and continued to radicalise.

G8 protests?

Jorge Pucao, protester and activist
at Camp David, Evian, Hans Will...

Genoa in 2001.
Arrest due to violent protests.

Dragenau, Pucao, Manzano.

There is a connection.

BERLIN
4 DAYS 5 HOURS WITHOUT POWER

Attention, please!
The hospital is being vacated.

Please leave the premises immediately.
The hospital is being vacated.

If you have a transport slip,
please wait at the edge of town.

For everyone else, we are setting up
an emergency shelter in the gymnasium.

I repeat, the hospital is being vacated.
Please leave the premises immediately.

I'm sorry, nobody can go in.

The person we are looking for,
what is he wearing?

We can't do this.
That's not why I became a nurse.

I cannot just give people
a lethal injection.

None of the patients are conscious.

They won't survive the move or the cold.

If we just leave them here,
they will painfully die of thirst.

It's good that they're with us.

I have a message
for Chief Inspector Hartlandt.

I will take you to him.

What are you doing here?

Please help me.

We are vacating the premises.
Go to another clinic, please.

Please, I need help.

What I'm doing here
is no longer medical treatment.

I cannot help you.

Everything will be all right.

Really. Everything will be...

all right.

Please leave the building.

Please.

Chief Inspector Hartlandt.

Yes?

I'm from the DOI Düsseldorf.
There's a suspect matching your APW.

Manzano? When was that? And where?

About 27 minutes ago.
Clinic Berlin-Mitte.

The hospital is cordoned off. It's chaos.

But it's only a question of time
until they find him.

Turn on your satellite phone.

What is up with the bloody phone?
We have lost 27 minutes.

The battery keeps turning off.

Okay. Ishaan, Viola?
We are going to Berlin.

Brasch, I am putting you in charge here.

-Don't fuck it up, all right?
-Got it.

ID?

You're good.

Severin called a special meeting
with the chancellor.

-Shit.
-What?

Severin is such an asshole.
He didn't notify us on purpose.

You were gone for two hours.

...and that would be the state of defence.
According to international law, we can...

If we assume an attack, who would it be?

What does the Secret Service say?

Considering the scale, we can exclude
that we are dealing with criminals.

A state may be leading the attack
to position itself geostrategically.

That's a plausible option.

And one of the states able to execute
such a cyberattack is Russia.

That would be a case
for the NATO alliance.

Case for the alliance.
We are not capable of defence.

Mr. Chancellor,
we have more pressing problems.

A cold front is coming.

Patients are dying in the hospitals.

And there are full-on battles
whenever food is delivered.

It is obvious
that we cannot except foreign aid

as long as we cannot exclude
an enemy attack on our territory.

Russia is only sending civil forces.

Two Russian aircraft carriers
are on their way

from the Barents Sea
towards the North Sea.

A protest note from Denmark
and Sweden went unanswered.

The relief flights are organised
by the Russian armed forces.

Greetings from Crimea and Belarus.

Thousands are dying in Germany!

In Europe soon hundreds of thousands.

If we do not accept
the Russian relief shipments,

then it will be over for us
by tomorrow at the latest.

Have you seen the pictures
from the morgues?

-Mr. Severin.
-Yes?

Specifics, please.
When is it over for us? When?

When?

Tomorrow?

No, no.
There is no definite answer.

But it is difficult.

We actually do have
our backs against the wall.

If we don't know who is attacking us...

we can neither accept foreign aid...

nor threaten with a counterattack.

We need a decision now.

I will take a close look
at your proposals

and then coordinate
with our European partners.

Thank you all.

Frauke, come on.

A bullet?

Nine millimetre?

A service weapon?

Are you having trouble
with the police?

How do you know the calibre?

I'm a physician at the Berlin ER.

Can you remove it?

Without anaesthesia?
Not sure if your heart can handle it.

Are you sensitive to pain?

My dad is Italian.

I'm going to disinfect,
that will give you a little taste.

And?

Good. One, two...

Let's go. Come on, search.

Come on, search.

You guys go up. Search!

Here's the bullet. We have to
clear that up with the police.

As soon as we are in Berlin,
you ask Europol to send the files.

From the entire proceedings.
I want to know everything.

Who was Manzano dealing with?
What happened in Genoa?

Now we are going to get him.

Come on, search.

This way.

Lisa?

-Are you sleeping?
-Hm?

Do you think Herbert is dead?

Then he's gone to heaven.

Are you dreaming already?

Mummy is making pancakes.

-With maple syrup?
-With maple syrup.

Are they going to hurt us?

They have two kids,
they just want to help us.

Go!

Come on.

There!

Stop! Don't move!

Shit!

I'll go to the right.

To all units: Suspect has been spotted
on Lützowufer and Mansenhofer.

Lützowufer. He is not here.

Markus, we cannot do that.

You're safe in the house.

The neighbours will keep an eye.

The neighbours are playing vigilante.

We have no phones, no heating,
and soon nothing to eat.

Isabel, I am on duty.

-They need me.
-Can't someone else take your place?

I'll be back as soon as I can. Promise.

All right, then.
How many of us are here?

Seven including you.
The rest didn't show up.

And what are the numbers?

-It's hot!
-Camping stove. So no one goes to sleep.

Twelve percent.
The emergency generator is running great,

but it doesn't affect the temperature.

Did you check the valves?

Electronic control unit?

Where is the problem?

One of the T24s is having issues,
the other is set on maximum.

-But the temperature is rising anyways.
-The problem is that we don't know why.

The chancellor
refused the relief shipments.

The Russian cargo planes may not land
in Germany, at least not for now.

I'm sorry. That's... politics.
We tried everything.

-The situation is unclear...
-No, it's clear. People will die.

A lot of people.

Why is there no blackout in Russia?

Have you ever asked yourself that?

The people here want...

The people here can't vote for you anymore
after they've starved to death.

Pigs!

You pigs!

I will show you!

Pierre Manzano, 43.
German-Italian citizen.

An hour ago he escaped
a canine squad at a hospital.

Manzano is dangerous and on the run.

Manzano has an accomplice,
Lauren Shannon.

She has family ties to Russia.
Her dad is from the Ukraine.

I'm sorry, but I can make this shorter.

It's my decision who is shortening what.

Deniz Chilif. Hi.
We were assigned to you.

I'm sorry, but that just came in.

Manzano apparently stabbed her
on the way to Berlin,

in a town called Merseburg.

Why would he kill her if she helped him?

We have to find Manzano. The question is:
What does he want in Berlin?

Nobody say anything.
Then nothing will happen to us.

Listen. If you don't say anything...

This went on for several hours.

Then Manzano signed a confession.

What did he confess?

That's in the Italian files,
which we still don't have,

because the Italians can't manage.

Where did you get the intel?

From the European Court of Justice.
They investigated due to police violence.

There were obvious violations
of human rights.

Most offenders were never prosecuted.

The report gives Manzano a clear motive.

We have to find out
who his cellmates were.

Hey.

I actually imagined
what it would be like to see you again.

But I didn't think you'd be doing worse
than last time I saw you.

I went to see your mother.

She wants you to know that she's okay.

What are you doing here?

Are you doing all right?

I find you half dead in the hallway,
and you're asking how I'm doing?

What do you want from me?

I need your help.

I'm not sure that you came
to the right place.

My dad is coming tomorrow.
Figure out what to do with the girls.

Franzi, what... what should I do?

You will take them
somewhere else tonight.

How is the emergency power for block one?

Plus 125. Now 725 degrees.

That's impossible.

Set all emergency generators to 100%.

The temperature cannot rise any higher.

Shit. What's that?

-You show up here after 20 years and...
-Helena, it's important.

It's about the blackout.
I have to find the others.

Robert, Till, Ulrike.

What do you mean about the blackout?

Ulrike is dead.

Car accident, five years ago.

-Shit.
-I saw her before in the psychiatric ward.

Do you know where Robert is?

You really came to ask about
your old hacker friends?

-Why don't you try Facebook?
-People are dying. I have to find them.

I gave them
the smart meter code back then.

The code is the reason for the blackout.

That's nuts. You don't believe that.

Yes, I do. Have you heard from Robert?

Not after the trial.
He was your friend, not mine.

At some point it's over.

That's everyone who was in Genoa.

-What about Katrin, Clemens?
-I don't know.

Okay. I...

I'm sorry. This was a mistake.

Clemens lives in Berlin, he's a lawyer.

I don't know anything about Robert.

Thank you.

Any progress with Manzano's computer?

The only thing we have are the emails
intercepted by Europol.

Come on,
I need something I can work with.

Manzano encrypted
his entire email correspondence.

And the VPN server for the data
is in Australia.

If we want to find anything,
we need time.

We don't have time.
We have another problem.

Power lines are being attacked.

There are several cases.

They are systematically attacking
the hardware to destroy the lines?

We are finding out how many, but...

We're no longer dealing
with a computer virus.

This is a targeted attack.
Somebody declared war on civilization.

Okay.

Let's just add another generator.

We don't have enough diesel,
I did the math.

The supply for the generator lasts
for six hours max, if we run full power.

Even if we run them at 80%,
it's over by noon tomorrow.

We have fuel for at least eight days.

As if. The plant will be shut down,
diesel supplies reduced to a minimum.

Storage costs. I didn't know, either,
but it says it right here.

Victor, how critical
is the status of the core?

I'm down at the measuring site.

Critical. 22% increase.

-This line still working?
-Yes.

I'm calling headquarters.

I just spoke with a Mr. Jung.

Some connection via the DOI,
Lower Saxony.

They're having huge problems
at the nuclear power plant in Werthe.

Meaning?

I have to talk to Severin.

Excuse me,
have you seen two little girls?

Twins. About this tall.

What twins?

My daughters. Lisa and Marie.
They're gone.

Disappeared without a trace.
They were on the train.

Here. One is blonde
and the other one has a dark ponytail.

Do you have kids?

Yes, that... What happened?

The train broke down in the woods.

All passengers were evacuated, but
the girls never made it to the gymnasium.

Oh gosh, I...

I found her toy, her stuffed animal.

Next to a dead body.

Someone was killed right there.

The police are investigating now, but...

I am really very sorry,
but I have to leave now.

Just take one of the flyers.
Maybe you can hang it up somewhere.

All right?

I will keep my eyes open.

-Thank you.
-Good luck.

The Secretary of the Interior
won't speak to me?

A nuclear power plant is breaking down.

It's a meeting at the chancellor's office.
You can't talk to him now.

Doesn't matter.

We need diesel and generators close by.
Bremen, Hamburg, Bremerhaven.

46,000 litres of diesel
from the Federal Reserve

are on their way
to the Marien Hospital in Bremen.

The truck could be there in one hour.
That would be close by.

We can't do that.
That's the last running hospital there.

-Bremen is good. It's the state capital.
-No.

We have a direct connection to the DOI.
They can do it onsite. Let's redirect.

Infants in incubators, anyone on
an operating table, dialysis patients.

These people will all die.

In a nuclear disaster,
the hospital won't matter anymore.

We have to get as many fuel trucks
to the power plant as possible. Now.

Yes, the three from Hamburg and
the two here are on their way to Bremen.

But that means we're abandoning the city
without hospital and medical care.

My family lives there.
Do you know what this means?

Accidents, looting, impassable roads.
There is no security. It's crazy!

If the emergency cooling system fails,
then the entire reactor blows up.

That doesn't mean we can reroute
five fuel trucks.

-No fuel means collapse.
-Only the reactor counts, understood?

We cannot take that into account.

Frauke. You can't do that.

We seize the fuel truck from Bremen
and send it to the power plant.

Ms. Michelsen, one isn't enough.

One truck. The others go to the city.
We won't abandon our people.

Very good.

-Let's pray, children.
-Since when do we pray? Bullshit.

Come, Lord Jesus, be our guest
and bless what you have given us. Amen.

Amen.

And let please find our mummy.

Amen.

-Yes. Enjoy your meal.
-Enjoy your meal.

-Do you need help?
-No, I can do it.

It just takes a while.

The fuel will be here on time.

And if not?

Why is nobody answering the phone?

Give us some room, please.

All right.

The flags represent the destruction
of the power infrastructure.

A lot of incidents were first thought
to be electrical shorts.

They're zigzagging along the state lines.

They attack substations
and they blow up high-voltage poles.

And they're moving north to south.

It's like an army of saboteurs?

A flex, some explosives...

Just takes a few well-prepared people.

Where were the last attacks?

Here, here, and here.
The power line network in the north-east.

We will guard all high-voltage systems
within a radius of 30 kilometres.

Everyone who has legs goes
and hides in the woods. We will get them.

Questions? No? Let's go.

Damnit. Cops.

Hello? Can you hear me?

-He's not responding. Let's get him down.
-Shit.

Watch out.

Hurry.

We have to go find mum.
They're not helping us.

Do you think they will let us go?

We will just go when they're asleep.

And if we get lost?

We will go anyways.

And?

No pulse. He's already cold.

Shit.

Hold it, I'm climbing up.

Hold it.

Can I help?

City 0-3?

City 0-3? Yes, copy.

Residence check.

- Name?
- Robert Flemming and Clemens Dieckmann.

The database is downstairs, one moment.

You have a cold too?
You're mumbling like Batman.

Bloody blackout.

-City 03?
-Yes?

I got it. Clemens Dieckmann,
Zietenstrasse 31.

The car door is open.

City 03?

Shit.

Hello? City 03?

Hello?

Hello? Do you want the second address?

Hello, this is City 03. What address?
We are on a call.

Do you think they're asleep?

Yes.

Then hurry.

Hey. Hello.

Hey, sweeties, you have to get up.
Wake up. You have to get up.

You can't stay.
I'll take you back to your mother.

-In the middle of the night?
-I'm sorry. It's the only way.

Let's go. Put on your shoes.

Ready?

Let's go.

We got them. Deniz's team
discovered them at a high-voltage system.

-They set a fire.
-Did you make an arrest?

Not yet. The helicopter's waiting
on the roof. Do you never sleep?

Arrived at target location.
They're cutting the pole.

-Everybody get ready.
- Copy.

Top priority: We need them alive.

Can you walk a little faster?

Why aren't we taking the car?

There's no more fuel.

And why are we walking through the woods?

It's the shortest way. Don't you want to
go back to your parents?

Shit.

Fuck.

Okay. You will wait right here.

Don't move an inch until I am back, okay?
I will find the way. Got it?

All right. See you in a minute.

If we ran away now,
we can disappear in the woods.

And what do we do there,
all alone in the woods?

You know what he did.

Come on, before he gets back.

All right, we almost made it.
Just a little further, okay?

Come on.
