No. German title Original title Director script
1 Maja Maja Per-Olav Sørensen Camilla Ahlgren & Malin Persson Giolito
The series begins with an overview of a bloodbath in the classroom and the arrest of Maria Norbert, usually just called Maja, the only person to be approached. Since she has no serious injuries, a forensic examination will be performed on her, including samples of blood on her hands. She is accused of murder, attempted murder and aiding and abetting murder. She is directly isolated and taken into custody, not even her parents are allowed to see her.

Maja's father hires a lawyer to represent Maja in this case.

There are always flashbacks to the past: How she got to know her boyfriend Sebastian, how she spends the holidays with her instead of staying with her family on vacation and how the two get closer and closer.

Maja is interrogated and in the subsequent hearing it is decided that she must remain in custody as she is the main suspect in the rampage.

The episode ends with another flashback, as she and Sebastian go into the classroom after mutual eye contact, closes the door and shots are fired.

2 In custody Forehearts Per-Olav Sørensen Camilla Ahlgren & Veronica Zacco
The episode begins with a flashback during the rampage that took place, in which you see Maja shooting Sebastian.

After another interrogation there are more flashbacks. These show Maja and Sebastian's life together, such as parties, drug use and friends.

Maja is always loving towards her little sister.

Maja and Sebastian are more and more connected, so Sebastian also takes on the blame when Maja drives Sebastian's father's car, although she does not have a driver's license, and has an accident.

During a visit to Maja's grandfather, Sebastian gets her to shoot a deer while hunting, which she clearly likes.

During interrogation, she admits that she finds killing animals while hunting exciting. Furthermore, she admits to have shot Sebastian at his request.

After showing pictures of Sebastian's father who had been killed and the allegation that she caused Sebastian to murder his father, she suffers a mental breakdown.

3 The funeral Begavningen Per-Olav Sørensen & Lisa Farzaneh Camilla Ahlgren & Alex Haridi
Present: Maja is still in custody. Her lawyer brought her MP3 player. Amanda's funeral takes place today. At 15 o'clock. Maja is completely isolated from the outside world, she doesn't even know what time it is. She goes nuts because she tries to ask everyone what time it is. She keeps ringing the bell, counting the seconds and writing it on a piece of paper in her cell. Maja speaks to the pastor, but only to find out the time at the end.

At 3 p.m. Maja listens to her favorite song at Amanda's funeral and goes completely crazy in her cell.

Maja confides in the prison guard and talks to her about Amanda. Maja is interrogated again by the prosecutor and confesses that she tried to kill Sebastian and that the gun accidentally went off. The prosecutor reveals that there is a survivor from the classroom. This eyewitness claims that Maja targeted Amanda.

Flashback: Amanda, Maja and Sebastian drive to Amanda's friends and family over the weekend. Samir is also surprisingly present on the weekend trip. Samir's story is exposed, he has claimed that his father is a lawyer and his mother is a doctor. Sebastian's enthusiasm for weapons becomes clear when he speaks very well about a rare weapon on the premises.

While eating together, Sebastian freaks out and goes completely against Samir. The mood is very tense as Sebastian shows no respect for others. He is absolutely reckless and arrogant.

Maja notices that Sebastian is slipping more and more. He's doing so many drugs in a club that he goes nuts. Maja confronts the drug dealer. Seeking help, Maja tells Amanda that she no longer knows whether she is in love with Sebastian.

4th The reconstruction Reconstructions Per-Olav Sørensen & Lisa Farzaneh Camilla Ahlgren, Malin Persson Giolito & Alex Haridi
Present: Maja receives the suggestion to help reconstruct the course of events. Her lawyer advises her not to do this. She refuses. If Maja is found guilty, she faces 14 years imprisonment.

Maja wonders where Doris is. She invented the name because she is not allowed to talk to anyone else and the guards are not allowed to talk to her about other prisoners either. Doris is always on to smoke after Maja. She learns that Doris is dead. Maja then consults with her lawyer, as she wants to help with the reconstruction. Especially to find out for yourself what happened.

In the flashback, the entire sequence of the crime is reproduced. Maja explains what happened: The arrival at school with Sebastian, the big bags, going to the classroom, the situation in the classroom, right down to who shot whom. From this moment on, her memory is missing.

Flashback: Sebastian is missing from school. Maja asks if she can take Sebastian's written test with her. Maja meets Samir in a side room at school to kiss him, then she goes to Sebastian. Maja tries to talk to Sebastian, but he turns on the mixer every time Maja wants to say something. Sebastian flies to South Africa and wants Maja to come with him. Maja says that she can't come with me. Maja then meets with Samir at her home and they cook together. Sebastian calls all the time. This annoys Samir so much that he leaves. When Samir leaves the house, Maja runs after him and Amanda catches them both. She is outraged that Maja is doing something like that to Sebastian.

Maja makes the decision to call Sebastian and ends the relationship with him on the cell phone. He is very indifferent to the situation. Then Maja visits Samir at his home, he is evidently embarrassed that Maja sees the normal circumstances in which he lives. She tells him that Sebastian is over.

Due to the birthday of Maja's little sister Lina, Maja and her family visit her grandpa. She learns that Sebastian tried to kill himself and is in the hospital. She goes right there guiltily.
