S1 E5: The Russian departure is only few days away, and preparations for them to leave the country takes place at all levels. Jesper Berg makes plans for how to resurrect the party, but when he introduces his plan he discovers that the party wants to throw him as Prime Minister in order to remove itself from the recent events. HM continues to hunt Free Norway. He believes a person named Eivind Birkeland could be one of the leaders. Birkeland is active on Youtube with political posts against the Russians. PST chief Wenche Arnesen does not think the Russians are going to leave willingly, but Jesper Berg will not listen to her warnings. She secretly contacts Birkeland in order to help the resistance. HM has a breakthrough in the investigation and finds out where Iljas and Stefan are, and Wenche informs Birkeland about this. HM still manages to arrest Stefan, but Iljas gets away.
