The German sci-fi miniseries, The Signal, takes a dramatic turn when Hadi, another astronaut, isolates Paula in the space station cockpit and threatens her life by cutting off her oxygen supply.

In a desperate attempt to ensure her survival, Paula discloses the coordinates from which the mysterious "hello" message originated in outer space. This leaves Paula traumatized as she gasps for air, hinting at the weight of her decision.

Meanwhile, back on Earth, Paula's husband Sven and daughter Charlie find themselves inexplicably captured by the military. Abruptly, an ominous sound fills the air, signaling the onset of a potential alien attack. However, the authorities quickly assure them that the situation is under control.

Episode 4 throws a curveball with a flashback depicting Paula's return to Earth. A cryptic conversation unfolds between Paula and Benisha Mudhi (the billionaire who funded Paula's mission). Benisha reveals in an unknown language that "it" is over, likely referring to the signals from space.

The shocking twist comes when Paula confesses to Benisha that she kept the coordinates hidden, treating them as a family secret. This act of defiance compels Benisha to help Paula spread the truth about the impending alien threat.

In a bid to avoid government scrutiny and alert the world, Benisha orchestrates a plane crash with Paula onboard. This desperate measure highlights their urgency in revealing the truth. In the present time, Benisha acquires the real coordinates after rescuing Sven and Charlie from the military.

Another flashback surfaces, showing Paula suspicious of Mudhi's assistant. This raises questions about the true motives within the mission. Later, Paula confronts Benisha, questioning whether Hadi's actions were part of a larger plan and who the mastermind ("queen") truly is.

The Signal leaves viewers with a captivating cliffhanger, raising concerns about a potential alien invasion and the hidden agendas within Paula's mission.

The series masterfully utilizes flashbacks to unravel the truth, leaving viewers eager to uncover the secrets lurking beneath the surface.
