In 1987, Kleo Jennifer Straub, an East German Stasi agent kills an unknown man during a mission in a West Berlin nightclub called Big Eden. Sven Petzold, a police officer, witnesses the murder and reports it, only to be ignored while the case is quietly shelved. After her mission, Kleo celebrates with her supervisor and boyfriend, Andi Wolf, and reveals that she is pregnant with his child and intends to retire. However, she is framed and imprisoned for passing intelligence to a foreign agent with most of her comrades, including her grandfather, Stasi general Otto Straub, testifying against her. While imprisoned, Kleo is severely injured by inmates, resulting in a miscarriage and subsequent permanent infertility. In May 1990, Kleo is freed as a part of general amnesty granted by the GDR after the Fall of the Berlin Wall. She soon visits her old apartment, now occupied by Thilo, a West German techno music enthusiast, to retrieve her belongings and weapons. She then proceeds to kill the judge who ordered her imprisonment and find clues as to why she was set up. She later visits Otto's house and plays his testimony on a tape player. Upon his arrival Kleo confronts him, with the latter explaining that he had no other choice. Kleo then kills Otto after he attempts to shoot her, burying him in his garden. Sven rediscovers the cold case file involving Kleo, while in Chile, two unknown men exchange a red briefcase, with one of them insisting it be hidden from Kleo.

Using a false identity, Kleo tracks Andi and is met at his apartment by his pregnant spouse Anja. Andi notices Kleo and tries to pursue her, only to be pinned down and interrogated by her. Andi claims Ludger Wieczorek, their commanding officer, is responsible for Kleo's betrayal and tells her that he had died in a car crash. Meanwhile, Sven, after reading Kleo's file, launches his own investigation, visits her old apartment, and talks with Thilo. Seeking more answers, Kleo infiltrates Stasi headquarters and finds evidence that Wieczorek is still alive. Sven also goes to Stasi headquarters to investigate, only to find Kleo as she leaves the premises. He then tails her to Otto's house, which he breaks into to find more clues. Kleo then infiltrates the apartment of Walter Blum, a close comrade of Wieczorek, murdering him and acquiring Wieczorek's location in Mallorca to kill him next. Kleo later notices Sven's business card in Thilo's pants and visits the Petzold household, warning Sven to not interfere.

Kleo then calls Thilo, already blackmailed by Sven to reveal her whereabouts, before hanging up when Thilo discreetly tells her they are being eavesdropped. Later, Kleo is ambushed by Alexander Belov, a KGB agent who made illegal deals with Wieczorek. Kleo, however, manages to overpower Belov before forcing him to leak information regarding Wieczorek's dealings with him and make a deal with her. Meanwhile, Sven figures out Kleo's whereabouts and flies to Mallorca under the pretense of police work, tracking Kleo's activities. Kleo infiltrates the Wieczorek residence under a false identity and gathers information regarding him while rigging his tuxedo with explosives. Wieczorek then invites Kleo to a party. Sven catches up to Kleo, warning her that he will stop her, but Kleo frames him instead for drug dealing. At the party, Kleo poisons Ludger's wife Gabriela and makes him reveal the truth of her arrest in exchange for an antidote, revealing Stasi Minister Erich Mielke's involvement. Kleo later kills Ludger with the rigged tuxedo in front of his wife before cashing out Gabriela's bank account. Uwe later arrives at Ludger's residence and kills Gabriela.

Jano Ben ChaabaneElena Senft19 August 2022 (2022-08-19)

Kleo sneaks into Andi's apartment, informing him of Wieczorek's assassination and her next target, Erich Mielke, in custody in Hohenschönhausen Prison. Sven, who is bailed out by his superior, laments his failure to arrest Kleo to his friend, Freddy Lembech, who accidentally gives Sven a clue involving Kleo's next target. After a reprimand from his superior, Sven quits his job to pursue Kleo. Min Sun, who receives Belov's report at the BND, informs her superior, Anne Geike, regarding the report. Geike then assigns Min with the Big Eden case. Kleo goes to Hohenschönhausen in an attempt to assassinate Mielke, only to be thwarted by Sven through a wanted poster he put there earlier. Kleo soon tries to kill Sven by setting up a booby-trap in his garage. She later poisons Mielke before visiting him in the hospital, masquerading as a nurse and giving the doctors a medical report to keep him from dying.

Unaware that his life is in danger, Sven, who opts to share a ride with Freddy instead, tracks Kleo before choosing to pursue Uwe, who is also monitoring her, to his warehouse. Sven and Freddy monitor Uwe briefly before he leaves, with Sven entering the warehouse afterwards. Sven is then approached by Min, who is also tracking him, offering him a position in the BND should he manage to capture Kleo. Kleo enters Erich's hospital room and forces him to tell her who were responsible for her arrest. Mielke reveals that Otto Straub had pulled the strings but tries to choke her before Kleo shoots him. Kleo digs up Otto's grave and finds a message revealing that she killed a West German agent who had information that could threaten the existence of the GDR. In despair, Kleo meets with Andi, before telling him she killed her grandfather. Andi, who is infuriated by Mielke's assassination, soothes her and tries to convince her to go in hiding, which she refuses. Andi then visits Uwe and authorizes him to eliminate Kleo.

Meanwhile, Sven and Freddy acquire some knowledge of Kleo's target in 1987 and learn of a red briefcase that was constantly carried by the victim. Min then tells Sven to get the briefcase instead in return for his position in the BND. Kleo eventually frees Thilo with Andi's help before approaching Sven for information. Their exchange is interrupted by his wife, Jenny, who calls the police before Sven defuses the situation. Infuriated by Sven, Jenny evicts him from their house, forcing him to move to Otto's house. Kleo sets up an appointment with Uwe in exchange for information on her case. However, Andi unsuccessfully tries to kill her with a sniper rifle. Kleo then flees before being shot by Uwe.

Sven shoots Uwe just as he is about to kill Kleo, who becomes unconscious from her wounds. While unconscious, Kleo reminisces her childhood under the care of her mother, Brigitte, alongside Otto. Kleo vaguely remembers her mother's argument with her grandfather before he took full custody of her. Otto tells her that her mother abandoned her and defected to West Germany, where she later died. Otto eventually enrolls her in an FDJ school while she develops a long romantic relationship with her childhood friend, Holger before Otto orders her to cut ties with him for being a class enemy. Kleo then has a brief relationship with Chilean refugee Jorge Gonzalez, before joining the Stasi as an agent, where she meets Uwe and Andi during her training. She then goes on to assassinate several figures to impress her grandfather. As she receives a medal, Kleo notices the target she murdered and a woman who carried a red briefcase before she wakes up. Kleo then informs Sven, that the two individuals are Mielke's aide, Matthias Frey, whom she had killed in 1987, and secretary, Ms. Lobrecht. Kleo and Sven drive to Mielke's funeral where Kleo meets with Margot Honecker, her aunt, while Sven exchanges information with Min. They subsequently tail Ms. Lobrecht, to her house where she commits suicide to protect the briefcase and also because of Sven's condescending statements on the GDR. Kleo however, soon finds the briefcase, but finds out that someone else has swapped its contents. Sven later notices Andi in Kleo's photo, naming him as Uwe's accomplice he saw earlier, to Kleo's surprise.
77"The Snipe and The Clam"

Jano Ben ChaabaneBob Konrad19 August 2022 (2022-08-19)
Kleo and Sven barge into Andi's apartment, with Kleo shooting Andi in the shoulder. Andi then proceeds to tell Kleo that the red briefcase contains several classified documents and Matthias had attempted to sell its contents to the BND. Andi also tells her that Frey's efforts failed when a double agent reported him to the GDR beforehand, with the GDR sending Kleo to assassinate him in response. Before Andi tells her any further details, Anja shoots him in the head, revealing herself as Ramona Brandt, a legendary Stasi agent who had been assigned to keep an eye on Andi after Kleo's arrest. Holding Sven hostage, Ramona orders Kleo to drop her gun, before letting them go and leaving. Kleo and Sven, and separately Min, find out that Anne was the double agent. Before Kleo and Sven leave to track down Anne in West Germany, they are interrupted by Jenny, who reveals her affair with Freddy in front of their son, Mark, who greets Kleo, whom he had met earlier. Anne is confronted by Kleo and Sven in her house as she burns compromising evidence. After injuring Sven, Anne engages Kleo in an intense fight, with Anne accidentally dying after falling into her fireplace. Afterwards, Sven and Kleo figure out that Jorge is also involved with the red briefcase, and go to Santiago. Min later enters Anne's house and discovers her body and CCTV footage of Anne's altercation with Kleo and Sven. Meanwhile, Ramona, who is also in Santiago, receives the red briefcase's coordinates from Margot along with orders to kill Kleo.
88"The Purple Witch"
"Die Iila Hexe"
Viviane AndereggenRichard Kropf19 August 2022 (2022-08-19)

Kleo and Sven arrive at Santiago and go to Jorge's house, only to be told that he is dead. Kleo, however, sees through the ruse and finds Jorge. Kleo demands the location of the briefcase but is strangled by his aide Carmen as he escapes. Outside, Sven chases Jorge before distracting him long enough to be accidentally run over. Meanwhile, Ramona arranges for a meeting with Kleo, who manages to kill Carmen, at a bar. Kleo instructs Sven to go to Ramona's hotel room and find the briefcase's location, which he does. At the bar, Kleo interrogates Ramona before realizing she had been poisoned with TTX by Ramona upon entry as Ramona leaves Kleo to die. Sven arrives and saves Kleo by injecting her with dopamine. Sven and Kleo race with Ramona on their way to the briefcase. Ramona eventually corners the two before her water breaks. Kleo, who decides to help her, successfully delivers the baby. Overjoyed, Ramona abandons her mission, allowing Kleo and Sven to retrieve the briefcase.

After reading the contents, Kleo and Sven are visited by Margot, who confirms the documents contained an agreement between US President Ronald Reagan and her husband, East German leader Erich Honecker, that arranged for the United States giving financial aid to the GDR to keep it stable enough to justify the existence of the two Germanies and Washington's Cold War policy, and reveals that Mielke had blackmailed Honecker with the papers before Frey stole it. Margot demands Kleo and Sven return the briefcase to her in exchange for Brigitte's whereabouts, revealing that Otto had her imprisoned before West Germany bailed her out. Despite Sven's objections, Kleo chooses to return the briefcase. Kleo and Sven fly to West Berlin, heading to Brigitte's house. Kleo meets Brigitte, only to be told that she does not want Kleo back into her life, despite telling Kleo how hard it is to be apart from her. Sven and Kleo later return to Otto's house and have sex. The next day, Kleo wakes up regretting returning the briefcase to Margot only for Sven to reveal that he had called the BND about the briefcase. Kleo angrily chases Sven with a gun. In the epilogue, Min, who had swapped the briefcase with an identical one containing toilet paper while Margot was in transit, gives the briefcase to a CIA agent, while Ramona breastfeeds her newborn baby by the roadside in Chile. In Berlin, Uwe is shown to have survived and plots his revenge.
