Beforeigners is a Norwegian television series that tells a fictional story about time travel. The series first premiered on HBO Nordic in August 2019. Here is a brief description of the show's third episode.
Episode 3 of Beforeigners starts off with a bang as it features a car chase. The police are hot on the trail of the kidnappers who have abducted Lars Haaland, a prominent businessman. The two fugitives, Jeppe and Carsten, are driving recklessly through the city. They narrowly avoid getting caught by the police but at the same time, they are being tailed by the show's protagonist Alfhildr Enginnsdottir (played by Kristen Wiig).
The chase scene sets the tone for the episode, which has a lot of action-packed sequences. The second major storyline in the episode is about Lars Haaland himself. He is being held captive in an abandoned building by his kidnappers. The kidnappers, who are revealed to be a group of disgruntled employees of Haaland's company, demand a ransom of 20 million kroner.
Haaland's wife, who is worried sick about her husband's fate, reaches out to Alfhildr for help. Alfhildr, who is a newcomer to the present day, is trying to navigate her way through the unfamiliar world and find her place in it. She takes it upon herself to help solve the kidnapping case and keep Haaland safe.
The episode also delves deeper into the relationship between Alfhildr and Lars. In the previous episode, it was hinted that the two had a romantic history together. In this episode, we see Alfhildr struggle with her feelings for Lars as she goes to great lengths to save him.
The third major storyline in the episode is about the Edda cult. The group, which is made up of beforeigners, has been causing a lot of chaos in the city. In the previous episode, we saw them perform a ritualistic sacrifice in the middle of the street. In this episode, they have set their sights on a new target - a rich businessman named Glenn Solheim.
The Edda cult believes that Glenn is a descendant of Odin, the Norse god. They believe that by sacrificing him, they will be able to appease Odin and usher in a new era of power for beforeigners. Alfhildr, who has a personal history with the Edda cult, is keen on stopping them from carrying out their plan.
Overall, episode 3 of Beforeigners is action-packed, suspenseful, and full of twists and turns. It offers new insights into the show's major characters and continues to build on the series' central themes of immigration, culture clash, and acceptance. The episode also ends on a cliffhanger, leaving viewers excited for what's to come in the rest of the season.
