During that, he discovers that Tully, who's actively involved in the black market including trying to sell hot goods to General Sikorsky (RAVIL ISYANOV) over in the Russian occupied zone, is also with Lena Brandt (CATE BLANCHETT), Jake's former lover. She's a prostitute who rooms with fellow hooker and burlesque dancer Hannelore (ROBIN WEIGERT) and desperately wants out of Berlin.
Unfortunately for her, but piquing Jake's interest, others don't want her to leave as both American and Russian forces are interested in finding her husband, Emil (CHRISTIAN OLIVER), who she claims is dead. Things get more complicated following a murder, thus getting Jake's investigative juices going, all of which leads him into hot water with American Colonel Muller (BEAU BRIDGES) as he tries to get info out of various sources, including American Bernie Teitel (LELAND ORSER) who's there trying to round up former Nazis guilty of war crimes.
As Jake continues to rock the boat by digging deeper for answers regarding the murder and finding out more about Emil, his investigation endangers both his and Lena's lives.
Violence consists of people being killed in various fashions, including a woman shooting her rapist point blank in the head during the attack. Non-lethal fighting also occurs in several scenes. Some of that has bloody results and those scenes and others may be unsettling or suspenseful to some viewers.
Various characters have varying degrees of bad attitudes, while characters drink and/or smoke in various scenes
