8 Episodes 2019 - 2019
Episode 1
After the recent death of his son, Detective Max Sorenson relocates to Oslo Homicide where he's teamed up with Detective Sander Holm. They're sent to a crime scene - four immigrant teenagers drowned in an abandoned swimming pool. The detectives suspect foul play, but eels at the crime scene have a strange effect on the men's psyche. Swimming pool owner Thea informs the detectives that a fifth boy was at the pool; the detectives wonder if he's now dead just like the other four.
Episode 2
The identities of all five boys come to light. Turns out the missing fifth boy, Jabrill, was awaiting trial for the murder of a beautiful young Norwegian law student, Sophie Naess. It was Max' wife Asha who helped build the prosecution's case against Jabrill. The detectives visit the detention center where Jabrill was being held, learning that a mysterious visitor came to see Jabrill just before his disappearance. Law student Magnus asks for Asha's help in an upcoming academic trial.
Episode 3
The murdered law student Sophie Naess turns out to have also been a high-class prostitute working with Karina Urdahl. The detectives locate Karina and her pimp Remi. As they wait to make the bust, the two men bond. Sander explains that Bo's brain injury comes from an immigrant brutally attacking Bo back in high school. The detectives take Karina and Remi into custody, finding an underage immigrant girl hidden in the house. That night, long-time family friend Marit tells Sander that Bo was mentally disabled before the attack in high school; he's been brain damaged since birth.
Episode 4
The discovered door in the woods is an entrance to a bomb shelter. But the detectives must wait for swat team Delta to make risk assessments before they can conduct a raid; it's frustrating to wait. At the same time Sander faces scrutiny for a past case - immigrant teenager Dalmar has hung himself in a detention center for a crime Sander arrested him for. Questions swirl around Dalmar's actual guilt. Sander confronts Bo about the past but Bo is cagey in his response.
Episode 5
The detectives discover a human trafficking ring operating out of the shelter. They save the girls, but Max then shoots and kills the man running it. In the ensuing Internal Affairs investigation, both Max and Sander lie about what happened, saving Max's career. Max confesses to Asha that he wonders if he could have prevented Oliver's death but didn't because Oliver was such a difficult child; the guilt is eating Max alive. Looking back through her old cases, Asha realises Jabrill didn't kill Sophie Næss.
Episode 6
Both Sander and Max experience hallucinations that turn real; they're violent against Bo and Asha, respectively. Scrutiny over Sander's handling of Dalmar case escalates, while Asha begins to suspect Magnus is guilty of murdering Sophie Næss. Halvar's home is actually owned by Kim, Sander's ex-partner. When interrogated, Kim plays innocent about Halvar's involvement in the human trafficking ring, but does relay that her other stepson works at the same detention center where Jabrill escaped.
Episode 7
The detectives recover in the hospital, finally admitting to each other that they've both been having the same supernatural experiences. Nonetheless, they press on with the case. At one of Noah Evensen's hideouts they find an old newspaper article on missing teenager Ahmed Osman. Sander explains that Ahmed Osman is the boy who pushed Bo back in high school. He went missing but was never found. But why would Noah have this article?
Episode 8
Max and Sander confront Noah, who tells the detectives that Jabrill is at the lake. Once there, the men spot Jabrill in the water and jump in. The detectives are sucked underwater, surrounded in eels, and swimming - literally - through their own nightmares - and confronting the pain and sorrows that have been hunting them. When Bo arrives at the lake, he sees the mysterious figure of Elo. Bo apologizes for his lies.
