Episode 1

The Chief embraces a new government scheme that offers ex-offenders a job in the police force. As the initiative gains momentum, Miekelson quickly finds himself extending second chances all round - not only to ex-convicts, but also to the environment and, most surprisingly, to his estranged daughter Ellen. The interview process is complex, and the chief gets grilled on live radio, but he is determined to make it work and appoint the right candidate for the position. Can Miekelson's 'Miekiavellian' plans ensure than these second chances don't become his only chance to save his job?
