"We Did Dark Things, Marissa"
31 March 2019
Warning: Spoilers
The "City" title third episode refers to Berlin. The various plot strands converge on this great city. Both Hanna and Erik have arrived and meet up to collaborate on confronting and killing the evil Marissa Wegler. But Hanna is being trailed by Marissa's contractor, who interviews the kind family. It is implied that Sophie reveals that Hanna is traveling to Berlin.

The storyline circles back to the time of little Hanna's birth. But the twist is that her birth mother was Joanna Peterson, not the wife of Erik. Thus, Erik is not really Hanna's father.

Erik had been recruited and paid large sums of money by Marissa Wegler to locate pregnant women and convince them to deliver the babies for the good of the state. In the dastardly project run by Marissa, it was not clear what experimental procedures were performed on the infants. All that we know comes from the lips of Marissa's creepy confederate tormented by nightmares. He refers to himself as Marissa's "secret sharer," who is working outside of her UTRAX organization. He reminds his icy boss that "we did dark things, Marissa."

Erik refuses to reveal much to Hanna about her past. But he burns the DNA report that she had stolen. Hanna senses intuitively that Lucas is a rat. Consequently, Erik allows her to join the group seeking to kidnap Marissa in the Berlin hotel. Erik and his cohorts brilliantly improvise in the chess game again against Marissa and her team.

After leaving the hotel, she is lured back in, then back outside by Erik. She is then apprehended by Erik's team in back of the hotel, as Hanna avoids her killers. It is because of the last-minute "emergency" recruitment of Erik's old war buddy from the years in Kosovo (1999) and Afghanistan (2001), that her life is saved.
