Kulinin takes the Reichswehr document from MaLu by force. Charlotte infiltrates the prison at Sonnenberg, and she and Gereon take down the White Hand. Helga escapes from the barge. When Gold finds Frau Nyssen alone, she tells him that the Blue Rothschild is a forgery, the real one lost on a sinking ship. In anger, he shoots a hole in the barge and leaves her to drown.
Tropes:
- The Dog Bites Back: Helga leaves Annemarie behind after escaping from the barge, out of anger at her constant hostility to her.
- Knee-capping: Charlotte shoots several of the White Hand members in the legs when they try to attack her.
- These Hands Have Killed: Charlotte and Toni drown Kuschke in a washing machine at Sonnenberg in self-defence. Charlotte subsequently has a breakdown with Gereon as it was the first time she'd personally killed somebody.
