A lieutenant arrives back from an Afghanistan mission, after forcefully stopping a woman from running into a bomb explosion. Back in peaceful Norway he sees an abuse, and is conflicted in if he should intervene or not.

It went horribly wrong. The SMS which seemingly came from a certain source has backfired. Erling Riiser finds himself in a predicament, obviously making trouble for the government.

The conflict with the land owner Zamani is coming to a head and Jon Petter is deeply affected by the death of Sigurd. Burås decides to confront the enemy with peaceful means. A friendly Buskhasi match. Men on horses fighting over a dead goat. That turns out to be a bad choice.

The Foreign Minister is visiting Afghanistan, and organizes a meeting with an elusive guest. In Norway the press has got hold of material which shows that the soldiers fire at seemingly unarmed men. The Special Forces and the Foreign ministry join forces to save the honor of the Army.

Erling is exposed in the tabloids as a cold blooded killer. He has to clear his name, but first he has to get his son to safety and then he has to go to the police.

The American Secretary of Defence is at an official visit in Norway and is interested in the Foreign Minister's talks with the Taliban. He also has a special surprise for Erling and HÃ¥vard, something Erling receives with mixed emotions.

Erling think that Hektor is behind the killing of Sharif to avoid being exposed for dodgy business deals in Afghanistan. Johanne is of a completely different opinion, and Erling is starting to feel uneasy abut pretty much everything.

Rolf Innherad is on his way to Afghanistan. So is The Foreign Ministry, Johanne and a few select soldiers from the Special Forces. A big meeting is about to take place, but it seems like not everybody understand exactly how badly this can turn out.
