Philip goes down into the metro himself hoping to free the last three remaining hostages and is confronted by the man he thought was dead.

Philip is planning an armed response to the first hostage execution. As the mission is risky it creates a rift in the negotiating team.

With the hostage Bodil just killed by the hostage takers, the police’s work keeps growing. TTF’s investigation leads them to sources in the Danish military and they seem to be close to a breakthrough.

The recently returned Syrian warrior, June al-Baqee, is taken hostage by four Islamist terrorists, several of whom are believed to be returning Syrian warriors who – unlike June – fought ISIS in Syria. Philip Nørgaard, currently is on leave from TTF, June knows from the past and, unlike PET, believes that a major crime lies behind her disappearance. He decides to investigate the case on his own.

Philip learns the identity of the main hostage taker and is choked about his personal involvement in the case that leaves a role for Naja to play as well.

TTF is getting closer to the hostage taker’s identity while Naja gets second thoughts with regards to facilitating the fundraising campaign, but then she meets Jonas, the hostage Leon’s son.
