Previously, on "Berlin Station"...

- [sn*per sh*t]
- [CROWD GASPING]

Katerina Gerhardt has d*ed

whilst being treated for a g*nsh*t wound.

- I know who sh*t her.
- Come on inside.

- What, in the embassy?
- Yeah.

My guess is, he's a g*n for hire.

- What were you doing there?
- Lena Ganz.

She wanted payback.

Thankfully, she pulled out
the last minute.

Where are you, Dad? That woman was sh*t?

The politician, right?
Were you involved in it?

No, of course not.
Why would you ask such a thing?

How's Josef?

He trusts me.
I believe he still does, yeah.

And you trust him?

Was that Nick Fischer?
Oslo Chief of Station.

Yes, as if I can't see through him.

What he stands to gain.

This morning, the police found a stash

of burner phones at an address
frequented by Otto Ganz.

We need that phone.

Josef keeps everything
in a safe in his flat.

That phone you're looking for, call it.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

I don't think Katerina had
anything to do with this.

Joseph handed her to us.

And supplied Otto Ganz
with everything he needed.

He set both of them up.

[SPEAKING GERMAN] _

Esther, I know you want
Hector to be guilty,

but we've got the real sh**t.

Who's hiring you?

I don't know who. We didn't meet.

- I think he switched cars.
- How do you know?

- Where's Beitel?
- He's dead, it was a setup.

- Why'd you let him go?
- It's not that simple.

He's one of us.

German police have now named a suspect

in connection with the
sh**ting of Katerina Gerhardt.

He is Hector DeJean, an
American and a former member

of the CIA who remains at large.

might be CIA...

Hey, I don't want you to go either.

But you saw those images on the TV.

All those crowds gathering
at the embassy.

Why are people protesting at the embassy

Last night we learned
that one of our officers

was behind the assassination

What does this have to do with Stefan?

We chased our officer into that tunnel,

but he got away thanks to a decoy.

Stefan was the decoy.

- Is this your strategy?
- No.

- Share the blame?
- No.

It's not a strategy, Esther.

Stefan was in on this.

One of your officers was behind
the assassination plot.

That's what doesn't make any sense.

I know, it's the same for us.

Nick Fischer, one of ours,

pumping illegal funds
into the PfD coffers.

Who else was involved?

We don't know if it stops at these two

or whether there are more involved,

but we do know that it was not Hector.

Okay.

So is this where you burn me
to save yourselves.

That's not what I'm saying,

but swapping one rogue CIA officer

for another does not spell salvation.

- Then what are you saying?
- I'm asking you

if you still want
to scapegoat Hector on this

knowing what you know?

What do you suggest?

We go public with this,

it could ruin all of our
careers, not just mine.

Oh, f*ck our careers.

just so that we could save our jobs?
