Premise[edit]
On the Norwegian Arctic island of Svalbard, things appear calm on the surface; a string of violent and increasingly strange deaths, one of which due to an exotic parasite that has survived in the ice for thousands of years, slowly exact a toll on the quiet international community where almost everyone appears to be keeping at least one secret.

His father, Frank, who is supposed to be looking after him, is nowhere to be seen. Liam opens up his bedroom window, and climbs barefoot into the snow.

Meanwhile, Morton receives advice from local teacher Markus Huseklepp, who turns to him after a violent confrontation with Frank Sutter. As the search for Natalie and Jason leads the team to an exploration bunker out on the glacier, they finally stumble upon a possible motive for the murder. As the team set out to find Jason's brother Ciaran, Governor Hildur discovers Stoddart left a telephone message for his wife, which could thwart her plans to build a hotel on the glacier. | ||||||

Frank is taken in and interviewed by Morton. He denies being responsible for Stoddard's murder and claims, on the night in question, he found his son covered in blood, saying this caused by a ruptured swelling in his son's throat. Hildur organises a DNA test to confirm if the blood found on the shirt is Stoddard's or Liam's. Elena reveals he snuck out to have sex with her and left his son alone. The blood is confirmed to belong to Stoddard, but Frank is adamant that he found his son covered in blood and was not responsible for the murder.
