About this episode
Lena investigates the mysterious death of Asgaard's founder amidst a backdrop of dark secrets and a missing child.
Asgaard’s founder Tor Martinsen’s death sends shockwaves through Wolf Valley but Lena is not convinced it was suicide. As she unravels Asgaard’s tangled finances and covert deals with Russian backers, the dark legacy of Valborg Academy overshadows it all. Rose’s recovered GoPro deepens the mystery, revealing a final dive, a motor, and a violent impact. And when ten-year-old Oscar Vikstad vanishes into the forest on the eve of a storm, the investigation becomes a race against time. The penultimate episode in a Nordic noir, where shocking crimes and long-simmering feuds threaten a remote mountain valley.
