Occupied Season 2 Episodes
Season 2 Episode Guide
Episode 1 - AugustHalf a year has passed since Free Norway mobilized and Norway was on the brink of war. In order to maintain peace, the Norwegian government, led by Anders Knudsen, has made a number of compromises with the Russians. The Norwegian Police Security Service, now led by Hans Martin, has aggressively pursued Free Norway. There has been an intense but fruitless manhunt for Wenche Arnesen, and the country is still plagued by terror and unrest. From self-imposed exile in Sweden, Jesper continues his secret resistance struggle and initiates an attack on Melkøya, a gas installation controlled by the Russians. The operation is led by Coast Guardsmen, and the Russians interpret it as a military attack. The situation escalates and results in a cabinet crisis. Jesper's plan is to form a government-in-exile in Sweden and get the outside world to define the situation in Norway as an occupation, but Anita Rygg comes up with an unexpected counterproposal and ends up herself as prime minister, thus thwarting Jesper's plans. The Melkøya operation also leads the government to demand that the Security Service arrests a number of Free-Norway leaders. HM believes they will be able to lead them to the real brains behind the resistance, Wenche Arnesen. HM intensifies the hunt for Wenche, eventually finding out that she is dead. She is no longer the leader of Free Norway. HM realizes someone else must be continuing the struggle in her place.

Episode 2 - SeptemberRussia has arrested the Coast Guardsmen behind the Melkøya operation, but in order to mollify the Norwegian military, Anita Rygg has promised that the soldiers will be handed over to Norway. When HM finds out that one of the soldiers is dead, things become more complicated. The Coast Guard blockades the Oslo Fjord. The Norwegian military clearly has no confidence in Anita Rygg. Jesper uses a computer game to communicate with the resistance. Through this, HM manages to find out that Jesper is the de facto leader of Free Norway and most likely was behind the Melkøya operation. Bente Norum has sold her restaurant and used the money to start a hotel with a Russian investor, Zoya. But Free Norway still has Bente in its clutches. Anette Kleven, pretending to be a wine importer, calls on Bente and asks her to spy on an oligarch named Minnikov, who is staying at the hotel. She claims that Minnikov ordered the hit on Thomas, but Bente doesn't trust her and dismisses her. Anita realizes she has to try something unorthodox to get the Russians to change course. Based on a proposal by Hilde Djupvik, she suggests including a Russian lay judge in all court cases involving Russian citizens. As a result, she finally manages to get Russia to extradite the soldiers. And instead of punishing the Coast Guard Inspector, she appoints him as defense minister in order to get him and the military on her side.

Harald Vold is willing to agree to an amnesty, but demands to speak to his followers on live TV. Anita and the Justice Department agree in spite of HM's warnings. Stefan watches Vold's speech, feels betrayed, and decides to continue the struggle on his own. He and his girlfriend, Cecilie, kidnap HM and Hilde's daughter. As time is about to run out and Stefan realizes the police are on his tail, he finds himself unable to follow through with his threat to kill the young girl. She is found unharmed and Cecilie is arrested, but Stefan gets away. Later that night the Russians locate him, and they call HM. HM comes to pick him up. He wants to know if more people were involved in the kidnapping, but Stefan provokes him and, blinded by hatred, HM ends up shooting him.
