In a dim, forgotten corner of Berlin, Jimmy, Klara, Graves, and Powell meet with a shadowy fixer named Anton Volker—a man who makes people vanish. The team needs a route into East Berlin, but Anton doesn’t deal in charity. He offers passage, but only in exchange for a dangerous favor: track a Soviet officer hiding in Friedrichstraße, a man other predators are already circling. As forged papers change hands and unspoken threats hang heavy in the air, the team realizes this isn’t just an infiltration—it’s an entry into a game they don’t fully understand. And in this part of Berlin, every identity has a price.

Jimmy and the team arrive in East Berlin to find a city steeped in tension, its people moving with the quiet caution of those who know something big is coming. As the team slips through Ostbahnhof under the watchful eyes of the Stasi and KGB, it becomes clear that Berlin is the epicenter of Atlas’s endgame. Every street corner feels like a trap, every checkpoint a potential dead end. When Klara proposes contacting one of her father’s former allies—a man skilled in making people disappear—the stakes become personal. With the city on the brink of collapse and the shadows closing in, the team must navigate deception, fear, and their own haunted pasts to stay one step ahead.

As Jimmy, Klara, Graves, and Powell ride a midnight train through East Germany, the tension becomes suffocating. Border guards patrol with precision, searching for signs of unrest as the train nears Gerstungen. When their forged identities are tested, a single misstep could mean capture or worse. But it’s not the team that draws fire—it’s a young dissident carrying leaflets, gunned down in plain sight. The chilling violence unfolds in total silence, a clear signal from the regime: the time for subtlety is over. With each mile, the team sees the truth—East Germany isn’t holding the line anymore. It’s unraveling. And Berlin is about to become ground zero.
