The Best Episodes Directed By Miguel Alexandre

1961. Disgraced British spy, Fielding Scott, is given a chance to redeem himself in Berlin. He has to organise the defection of an East German scientist. Everything goes disastrously wrong.

Fielding's clever plan seems to be working. The Russians are agitated, running scared. A date is mentioned for the first time - Sunday, August 13th. What will happen in Berlin on that day?

Paul is kidnapped in the street. An attentive neighbor is killed by the kidnapper before she can give a statement. The parents receive a ransom demand, but detectives Lena Odenthal and Johanna Stern determine that it is a diversionary tactic. The case is strikingly similar to a kidnapping nine years ago, in which Swen, who was nine years old at the time, was released after months of captivity, apparently unscathed, but the perpetrator has not yet been identified. Swen seems to have survived the terrible experiences of his childhood. But he still cannot help the detectives, even though Johanna Stern manages to build a good relationship with the unstable young man. The detectives realize that Swen is being haunted by ghosts from his childhood experiences and that he is still traumatized. They need his memory to find the way to the kidnapper.

An unknown man is found dead on the banks of the Rhine. He suffered a heart attack. However, he was not alone at the time of his death; someone previously sprayed pepper spray into his face. The investigators Odenthal and Stern notice a mysterious witness: Julia, in her mid-40s. Everything indicates that she saw the man or even specifically met him.

The fatal fiasco of the "Beethoven" defection has consequences. Fielding is tasked with finding and eliminating the traitor. Fielding begins to recruit his own private army.

Fielding's Berlin life is unraveling; he decides to "go rogue" and provoke the Russians into retaliating. At the same time he is now being blackmailed over his affair with Severine.
