Berlin Station

Previously on "Berlin Station"...

My source says they're making a deal for the weapon.

We can't let Adeyemi sell this tech to the Chinese.

I've been authorized to make you this proposal.

It's quite generous.

Triple it.

You new to the building?

Welcome. I'm Robert.

Nice to meet you. I'm Nina.

That man is Sergei Basarov,

and he is incontrovertible proof

of Krik's move in Estonia.

Tomorrow, midnight.

Sergei for Daniel Miller.

NATO summit's in 48 hours.

We need a unanimous vote on Article 5

to get Krik to back down.

How do you plan to get the votes?

We'll lean on NATO's most influential. 14-Eyes.

South of France.

My fellow 14-Eyes, they may be joining.

So, how exactly is your contact in St. Petersburg

supposed to get Torres to Krik?

He's a roofer, a high-end concierge for the Russian elite.

Hector DeJean.

Krik's untouchable.

If he's got Miller, he's as good as dead.

This is Roman Platov.

Tomorrow, we go to Vassily's dacha,

talk some business.

Oh, no!

I'm sorry! I'm so sorry.

It's my fault. Are you okay?

No, I'm sorry. I wasn't paying attention.

Here, I got it. You got them all.

Sorry. Thank you.

Sorry.

Uh, yeah, that's, uh...

That's from my son, Noah.

Thought I'd, uh... send a card on time for once.

As long as there is cash inside,

he won't care if it's a bit late.

Oh. So you speak fluent teen.

Amongst other languages.

I have two 13-year-old nieces, so it comes in handy.

You give lessons?

Um...

We are clearly very busy people

who tend to collide in hallways and all.

Maybe we should try a deliberate meeting.

What about dinner at my place?

Uh... wow.

Uh, uh, okay, yeah.

Uh, absolutely.

But, um, let me bring the dinner.

How about that? I-I know a place.

Uh, best dim sum in Berlin, so...

Oh, uh... I won't argue with that.

Good. Nice bumping into you.

See ya.

Hmm. Flamethrowers.

For the man who has everything.

This is tame.

Last time someone stiffed on a Krik deal,

it was shoot to kill.

Blake.

Major.

This is Manuel DeSanto, the investor I told you about.

Of course.

Welcome to my dom, Mr. DeSanto.

Mr. Krik, a pleasure.

Not the warm welcome we expected.

You ought to be glad it wasn't warmer.

Well, asking me to meet before my morning cup of joe,

this better be good news.

You are in luck.

A certain someone, uh, would prefer him

out of American custody.

Oh.

So the threat of a NATO session was enough to frighten

the warlord of St. Petersburg after all?

Coincidence.

Serendipity.

Mm. Mm.

80,000 Russian soldiers fell in the Battle of Berlin.

Almost makes two lives

seem trivial, doesn't it?

Daniel Miller for your boy, Basarov.

Were you with him in Tallinn?

Yeah.

Midnight.

Bahnbetriebswerk

PankowHeinersdorf.

O-Okay.

Just quickly remind me again what you're doing

soaking up rays on the Cote d'Azur

while I'm stuck here in fucking Berlin?

If you'd like to come run this 14-ring circus,

you're more than welcome, Robert.

No, I'm good. How are we looking?

Spain is courting opposition, but that's nothing new?

April's on it, though.

Where are we with Sergei Basarov?

Not a peep out of Basarov, but they're worried.

Kolya is willing to broker the trade.

Tonight. On the eve of the Article 5 vote?

Jesus.

Robert, Basarov is the best evidence we have

of Russian actors in Estonia.

It's too risky. You need to stall Kolya.

What, double-cross him and lose our one chance

of getting Daniel back?

Jesus Christ, Valerie, h-h-he's only alive

because the Russians are showing highly-unusual restraint here.

And if that fuckin' vote fails...

It won't.

If it fucking fails,

Damocles' sword comes down on Daniel and Estonia.

Even if we go blacksite on this motherfucker,

he's not coughing up anything we don't already know.

And everything we do know can easily be dismissed

as fake fuckin' news.

Well, if you have a better alternative,

I'd really love to hear it.

Yeah, Torres is about

to strike a deal with Vassily Krik.

Once we establish the Russian money trail,

that's proof even the Spaniards can't poke holes in.

I'd feel a lot better if Hector wasn't involved.

Well, Torres can hold his own.

Look, just keep pressing Basarov,

see if you can get anything out of him.

And then, once Torres gets us Krik's accounts,

you're cleared to go in and make the deal.

Let's just get Daniel home.

Yep.

We need to expedite things.

Berlin's counting on us to get access

to Krik's accounts by first light.

Took me months to earn his business.

We don't have months. These men aren't grunts.

They're captains, and they're lieutenants.

Krik's ready to make a move.

Edwards gave me orders...

Oh, fuck Valerie. I'm here to find Daniel.

Your con can wait.

Krik's money's not going anywhere.

Oh, shit.

Krik's third wife, just as deadly as the husband.

I know her well.

How do you think she got the tiger?

All right, you win.

The sooner we get out of this fuckin' place, the better.

Stay put.

Try and keep your fuckin' head attached.

- Hello. - Esther.

That's adorable. Who brought show-and-tell?

I did. Thought it might help us to see where we are.

We only have 10 hours before we meet

with the rest of the 14 Eyes.

We have to do everything we can

to ensure that all NATO members vote in the right way.

Triggering Article 5 requires a unanimous vote.

We'll need to prove beyond a doubt

that this unrest in Estonia was orchestrated abroad.

And do we have that proof? We're working on it.

Well, that's reassuring.

Even with irrefutable evidence, we'd face opposition.

We already have.

In Brussels, both Norway and Italy are pushing back.

What else do we know?

I'd expect the usual Russian loyalists

to cause a stink.

Bulgaria and Hungary have refused

to expel diplomats in the past.

So have the Czech Republic, Slovenia, Slovakia...

I wouldn't count on Spain or Portugal

for support, either.

The Spanish PM has the Kremlin on speed dial.

And guess we have to add Denmark to that list.

Oh, no, Denmark's a firm Western ally.

Well, ally or not,

I saw the Danish Defense Minister confab'ing

with a CNI agent this morning, so there's always that.

That's a third of the vote.

If Russia's already exerted this much influence,

Article 5 would fail.

Well, here's a surprise...

Russia's not pulling the strings.

I tailed Serrano back to a second meet

at Hotel Banc de Roches...

Block of suites paid for by Fenxi Systems.

The Chinese telecom company?

Yeah. I did a little digging.

Last week, Copenhagen Zoo received two pandas.

Panda diplomacy... Ink an important trade deal,

and you get a fucking panda. But what would the Chinese stand to gain

from war in the Baltics? I don't know,

but whatever it is, we better figure it out,

and we better figure it out fast,
