Season One
In the Belly of the Whale

Jonah is introduced by Meyer to the group.

The Mourner's Kaddish

Jonah deciphers a written message and realizes it’s in relation to one of the Nazi’s, Karl Holstedder.

After being introduced to the gang, Jonah gets to work with the others. Its here we learn that Holstedder used to host his own singing horror show inside the holocaust camp called The Star Of Buchenwald.

With a plan in action, the hunters circle Holstedder’s house before converging in the main atrium, proceeding to tie him down and give him what the Jews never had – a fair trial. With witness statements from Buchenwald, Lonny stumbles upon a hidden room and after picking the lock, he and Rox head in and find a homegrown radio set-up, one that appears to be broadcasting a message.

When they ask Karl, he refuses to engage, leading them to torture him through a grueling sound endurance test. Eventually Jonah convinces Geyer and the others to stop, and it’s here Holstedder announces that he was just following orders in playing tapes.

With the group preoccupied with the broadcast, Jonah heads into the room and gives the man a glass of water. Unfortunately, this is just the distraction he needs, proceeding to smash the glass and hold Jonah up with a shard of glass to his throat. Although Joe saves him from his fate, the ensuing blast also kills the broadcast, forcing the Hunters to leave.

While Visions of Safta Danced in His Head

Back at headquarters the next day, the group discuss the 74 different nazis on the wall they are aware of. Meyer rallies the troops, tasking them with watching Holstedder’s house.

Back at HQ, Sister Harriet feeds back what the group have found regarding their next target.

Sister Harriet meets with Lonny and deduces what the matching keys mean – they lead to a safety deposit box in Zurich World Bank.

The Pious Thieves

Jonah on surveillance duties with Sister Harriet, who talks to him about Ruth and recounts a tale from the camps involving a notorious German known as The Wolf (real name Wilheim Zuchs) who was obsessed with her.

After a mis-step from Mindy inside the bank, Sister Harriet hustles for information with one of her contacts. Back at HQ they look over schematics of the bank and discuss a plan of action to break into the bank. The gang put their plan into action and break into the bank. With the hostage situation working perfectly as a distraction for the others to break into the vault, Jonah arrives and manages to stop Joe from being killed by a rogue officer. Mindy opens the safety deposit box but finds nothing there. However, there’s a secret compartment behind the wall that leads down to a hidden basement. Once there, they find a whole stash of Nazi loot, which they quickly take photos of for evidence.

At Night, All Birds are Black

The group reconvene, proceeding to look over a photo of The Wolf and his associates, deciding to set their attention on a political activist known as Tilder Sauer.

Sister Harriet and Joe talk to Jonah about the lone wolf mentality and the sacrifices they have to make in this line of work.

Jonah holds Dieter up at gunpoint at his estate and takes him away during the midst of the 4th of July celebrations, where Joe, Sister Harriet and Jonah surround him and hear his story. It turns out the CIA and NASA recruited him, and as they continue to ask questions he divulges a whole host of names for people operating in America.

It’s valuable intel and enough for Sister Harriet to take this list and begin asking around for one of the men he mentioned named Kenneth Swiggens. Upon finding him, she speaks in German and advises he leave. Bundling him in the car, they drive off together leaving Jonah and Joe stranded after killing Dieter.

(Ruth 1:16)

Sister Harriet and Moritz Ehrlich driving away as she appears to be operating as one of the Nazis, telling him they need to be strong and survive at all costs. As we flash back in time, we see fragments of her previous German life, including a flashback to 1939 where we learn who Sister Harriet really is; a woman named Rebekah Kreutzer.

Moritz suddenly swings for Sister Harriet when they stop by the side of the road as he realizes she’s not being wholly truthful with him. The fight doesn’t go well for Moritz, who finds himself knocked out and bundled in the boot of the car as Sister Harriet’s true intentions remain hidden but clearly agenda-driven for her own gains.

It turns out the man Sister Harriet captured was actually the same man that killed Murray and Mindy’s child back in the camp.

Shalom Motherf***er

Back at Meyer’s, Jonah presents the music box and together the group begin to decipher what it all means. Given the morse code only revealed dates, the music box is much more exact, showing coordinates to several different areas across the city, including Grand Central Station. With this information, they deduce that they could be looking at a biological weapon being released, which matches up to what they found at The Ghost’s house.

Before they can act on this intel, Millie and other FBI agents arrive with a warrant to search the house. Within one of the rooms Millie finds the remnants of the fire that broke out earlier in the show. Sensing he’s not being wholly truthful, Millie arrests Meyer for the murder of Heinz Richter.

Day turns to night, and the group converge at the station, where Jonah finds Travis walking casually down the stairs. He hurries after him, keeping an eye from afar while the other half of the group follow clues to the second location, which leads them to a utility plant. Una meets an untimely demise despite her attempts at ambushing Joe, thanks to Sister Harriet arriving and saving the day with a cliched final word and a gunshot to the brain.

The Jewish Question

Lonny returns alive to HQ while Meyer introduces the group to Millie, who joins them in their base of operations. This leads them to a beautiful funeral where they say goodbye to Murray.

As the group start closing in on those who are pulling the strings, they set their sights on a man called Von Braun. After speaking to Simon, who berates what they’re doing and tells them they need to stop hunting for the sake of their own heritage, Jonah begins questioning what they’re doing too. It’s here Meyer admits to killing 11 men the night in the camp, in a bid to save Ruth, and admitting he hasn’t been the same since.

The Great Ole Nazi Cookout of '77

Sister Harriet talking to Patricia about corn syrup before hurrying back to the base where Lonny suggests heading out on a road trip.

Sister Harriet and Lonny capture Jason and manage to get crucial information about the virus and how it’s going to be distributed. In order to break in and infiltrate the operation, they call on Lonny to put on a disguise and use his acting skills to fool the Nazis.

With Sister Harriet watching from afar, Mindy on the radio and Joe and Jonah breaking in the back, Lonny poses as a scientist and heads in through the front door. Although Lonny starts to follow the instructions, static interference on the radio causes him to be stuck on his own. He manages to break the machines though, only to be caught by The Colonel and Travis in the main chamber.

After holding them off momentarily, the rest of the group burst in and a gunfight ensues and the corn syrup fries.

Eilu v' Eilu

Meyer’s car plunges over the edge of the cliff as Sister Harriet dives into the water and drags Meyer to safety. The Colonel however, is nowhere to be seen.

Jonah sits with the group and reveals the truth about who Meyer really was. Having cut the head off the snake, Joe leaves in anger.

With Joe and Mindy both gone from the scene, the remaining Hunters band together as Jonah rallies the troops and tells them Millie is now hunting them in America. Sister Harriet takes the opportunity to discuss moving out of America and taking the fight into Europe instead.
