On his way back into the lion's den to confront the top brass at the HVA, he saves Yvonne from the clutches of Annett and the Stasi. Ingrid hunts down Schweppenstette to save Thomas from prison. And Alex confronts his own demons - about his sexuality, about AIDS, and about his father. Finally, Moritz has no choice to sacrifice himself to stop the HVA from setting off a catastrophe of epic proportions.
