In Copenhagen an underground train judders to a halt and masked men take 15 passengers hostage.

Naja Toft is receiving commiseratory social media messages on having been fired, when she gets another call from Alpha asking for another interview - but this time on her blog.

Philip takes full responsibility for the death of a hostage and chases up his contact for assurances that his fears of recognising the main hostage-taker are unfounded.

A ballistics report on a bullet retrieved from the lift shows an advanced rifle only used by Danish Special Forces that may be from a batch stolen from the armoury in Aalborg two years earlier.

Phillip is shown the lock-up garage plastered with news cuttings about himself, as the team continue to sift through evidence with the help of Interpol.

After the death of Bodil, the team resort to shutting off the power to the hostage takers, hoping that this will force their hand.

Philip refuses to reveal to Hans how he knows one of the hostage takers, forcing Hans to assume command of the team, until chief of staff Palle Wulff arrives to provide the confidential information which also reveals to Philip that he himself has been betrayed.

Philip complies with Mark's demand that he goes down in the lift to ensure the safety of the remaining hostages. Mark rings Louise to arrange for the transfer of the ransom money.
