Early one October morning, three highly armed men hijack a metro train. Head of the PET Terror Task Force, Philip Nørgaard, is placed in charge of the hostage negotiations. News quickly spreads through the media and one reporter makes contact.
After airing a live interview with one of the hostage takers, reporter Naja Toft is fired, but her new blog quickly gains a following. Philip is plagued by memories of his time as a hostage in the Middle East.
Philip is planning an armed response to the first hostage execution. As the mission is risky it creates a rift in the negotiating team.
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.
Distress spreads among the hostages in the metro and they consider taking a stand. At TTF, Philip and Louise suspects that the wall with the photographs of Philip is not just about thorough prep-work.
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.
