New Year's Eve part 2

While the whole country is getting ready for New Year's Eve, BIA agent Lazar Stanojevic's routine mission to compromise a German agent takes an unexpected turn. A controversial Serbian politician, Radmilovic, is assassinated in front of his eyes and things get even murkier when the BIA's Deputy Director, Karadzic, is shot by his own bodyguard. The BIA locates the bodyguard in Kosovo where they must swap him for an Albanian criminal with an unusual understanding of honor.

Episode 3

Don't mess with the Service

After a dramatic extraction from Kosovo, Karadzic's assassin is brought to Serbia where BIA Director Milojevic decides to punish him personally. The BIA saves face and shows that it should not be messed with, but unease settles in its ranks. Lazar gets orders to employ the network of his associates and start an extensive investigation into the murder of Radmilovic, as the BIA does not buy the official version presented by the police and Interpol.

Episode 4

Lazar meets his match

Lazar's contacts in international foundations lead to a major breakthrough in the Radmilovic case. Milojevic sends Lazar to discover the connection between US agencies and the death of the controversial politician. The investigation leads Lazar to an enigmatic American official from Trump's administration, Ayatollah. Even in their first encounter, Lazar realizes that he has met with a powerful adversary. With his informer Maja's help, he attempts to get closer to Ayatollah, but as it turns out they will all be in mortal danger and blood will be shed again.

Something's not right

Lazar's wife, Ana, suspects him of having an affair with his informer, Milica, after finding a dedication in a book and starts her own investigation. Lazar is oblivious to Ana as his professional life is in chaos. Maja is traumatized by the previous mission and Lazar is given a near impossible task: to place Slavko- Ayatollah's main player in Serbia-under surveillance. The BIA gets a request from its American colleagues to help with the Islamic network in Sanjak and they prepare a very risky plan that Lazar's team must execute.

All that glitters

After a failed operation to infiltrate the Sanjak Islamists, Lazar is facing suspension. He manages to stay on mission by personally infiltrating the Islamic network through Hamed, a jeweler who he approaches through an underground informant. Lazar has no idea who he is dealing with. Hamed is perversely obsessed with sex, drugs, and hardcore music, but he is also a cunning negotiator.

The translator

Through Hamed, Lazar finds a Syrian translator, Faisal, who works with Syrian migrants, but is actually an Islamic terrorist group courier. Lazar follows Faisal to Belgrade and learns that Faisal not only works for the terrorists, but also for a nongovernmental organization financed by the US government. This information doesn't change the plan: Lazar and Colonel Slavko-a former war-lord-usually on different sides, now need to work together. They raid the refugee camp and arrest a group of radicalized migrants. Lazar is preparing for Easter with his family, which ...

The election decision is down to one man, the party ideologist and veteran of the Serbian political scene, Smiljan Vucetic, who unpredictably defies the pressure from both agencies. Soon both the BIA and the CIA realize that a much more critical event is lurking around the corner: an event that will ...

Keeping his word

A terrorist attack in Munich sends the BIA into chaos. Their Western colleagues are exerting pressure to obtain absolutely everything that the BIA know about the event.

Look who's back

What they don't know, is that his mission is to arm the two Islamists Lazar has been warning about.
