LatestSeason finale. Helena wins over Silva on her side, but an accident happens when he tries to leave the facility. Now it remains only for Helena and Enzo to carry out their escape attempt - and they are both prepared to do so at all costs.
Hel receives an invitation to visit her estranged twin Siri at an exclusive residential sanatorium set against the idyllic setting of the Italian Alps. Tension soon rises when Hel refuses Siri’s plea for help in taking care of some business by swapping places with her for a few days. Much to her horror, Hel wakes up the next day to find Siri gone. She soon realizes that Siri isn’t coming back, and that the clinic is far from a place of recovery.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 'women killing women' tag isn't marketing — it reflects Nordic noir's shift from male detectives to female antagonists who weaponize intimacy. Think 'The Broken' meets 'A Cure for Wellness'.
The sanatorium's Italian Alps setting deliberately contrasts with Scandinavian gloom — it's Hel's ancestral home made foreign, beautiful, and hostile. The directors shot in actual defunct spa facilities.
