40 minSeason 1 • Episode 8
LatestIn Amsterdam, there is no trace of Wormgoor or the weapon, while the city is flooded with anti-nuclear demonstrators. Jurre and Andy work desperately to stop an attack but face unexpected opposition.
It is the time of major social changes, squatter riots and demonstrations. The idealistic young detective Jurre de Cock is just starting at station Warmoesstraat. His partner, the purebred Amsterdammer Tonnie Montijn, shows him around the city. But then the duo comes across a criminal conspiracy, which appears to be part of a bigger plan. De Cock is also assigned a new partner: Andy Ruiter, transferred from the Bijlmer.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Römer brothers based the series on their father's actual police career in 1980s Amsterdam — the Warmoesstraat station was real.
The Bijlmer district referenced was Amsterdam's pioneering high-rise immigrant community, deliberately stigmatized by media and police alike during this era.
