The metro train carrying fifteen people from various backgrounds is hijacked by unknown perpetrators.

Naja, the journalist who was fired for her unauthorized interview, starts a national fund-raising campaign to raise the ransom for the hostages.

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 fund-raising campaign, but then she meets Jonas, the hostage Leon's son.

In the garage the police find a wall with newspaper clips of Philip's time as a hostage. Naja is asked to do another interview with a hostage, and this time the police want to make Naja an allie. The hostages try to take matters into their own hands by attacking one of the terrorists during the interview.

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.
