Mia admits she is Emma Engels, but Lorenz doesn’t believe her until a DNA test confirms her identity. Lorenz is excited because it means her Homo Deus project was not a complete failure. She wants to sequence Emma’s DNA immediately. Emma pretends to be grateful, thanking Lorenz for saving her life, but really intends to expose Homo Deus as an unethical experiment. Mia goes immediately to meet with Niklas at her place in order to work out a plan to get all the records of the Homo Deus project.
They end up spending the night together. Emma meets with Lorenz again the next day in the lab at Lorenz’s house to study Emma’s genome. When Jasper awakes, he finds that Niklas has gone and there is a trashed copy of the train ticket for the trip to Basel. At Lorenz’s house, Mia and Lorenz find that the genetic modifications gave her an exceptional immune system, demonstrating a revolutionary new gene therapy.
Jasper goes to Lorenz’s house and tells her about the ticket. Now realizing that Mia is acting against her, Lorenz tells Monique to block Mia’s access keycard. Mia overhears and goes to copy her genome in silico onto an external device. When Lorenz walks back into the lab after talking to Jasper, Mia is now hiding. When the copy completes, Mia dashes out and gets away. Jasper goes back home and gets into a physical fight with Niklas, who wants to get his keycard.
Jasper tries to strangle Niklas, who knocks him out with a piece of firewood and grabs the keycard. Mia goes to her building and gets help from Chen-lu in finding a marker sequence that will allow her to identify all of the Homo Deus subjects in Lorenz’s database. Mia and Niklas meet at the university lab, and using the marker, discover 237 matches, the “Homo Deus children”.
They grab DNA samples as an alarm starts, and escape to catch a train to Berlin. On the train, Mia texts the anonymous recipient, saying that they are on their way. Neither of them notices Jasper sitting nearby with his jar of mosquitoes. The closing of the episode is the opening of episode 1 on the train, with Niklas now one of the victims.

Biohackers is a German techno-thriller television series created by Christian Ditter that premiered on Netflix on 20 August 2020. A week after its release, the series was renewed for a second season, which was released on 9 July 2021.
Mia Akerlund is a medical student at the University of Freiburg, where she meets Jasper, a talented biology student, and Niklas, his somewhat strange roommate. She is very interested in biohacking technology and becomes involved in the world of illegal genetic experimentation. Mia is also trying to investigate the cause of her brother’s death. When she learns of breakthrough biohacking research results which have landed in the wrong hands, Mia has to decide whether to protect her friends or avenge her brother’s death.
