Two years have passed since we last saw Nicky and Alf, which we follow into the third season against the organized hash crime money cycle. PTSD-affected Alf has got a new job in the police's expert group; Task Force Nørrebro, while Nicky has gone from being P's handrail to being in the industry as big smugglers. He also runs a functional laundering machine through a juice bar and dreams of a large house on the Spanish coastline. Alf dreams of his colleague Isa, but life rarely goes as planned. Nicky gets a folder with some information that reveals an unpleasant truth about his son, and Alf must keep secret his relationship with Isa as he is to lead a case of a mysterious find in a basement.

Alf and the Nørrebro police try to recover after the shooting. He confronts Nicky, and starts a series of raids against the drug dealers to find evidence against him and Marco. But the Chief Police Inspector has other plans for the investigation. Nicky wants to hand over his business to his partner, Lala, to focus on a normal life with his son, Milas. After an unexpected visit from the auditors, Anna is confronted by her new boss, Nete, but she gets the last word.

Sahar saves Nicky’s life after Lala’s attack. Alf and Stine hunt the wounded Nicky, but find that he is one step ahead of them. Anna realises that Nicky can no longer help her when her family is sought out by Lala and his criminal partners. Nicky seeks a way out. The chief police inspector interferes with Alf’s investigation.

The season finale has Alf on a vicious hunt for Nicky before he escapes the country. Nicky must say goodbye to what is most precious to him and Anna receives an offer she cannot refuse. Alf and Nicky both realise that there are tragic consequences to their actions.
