After a female army officer walks in with a time bomb around her neck, the whole police station is evacuated. She survives after the payment of a 50,000 Euro ransom, but soon the culprit tries to harm another of her colleagues as well. Together with the motive, the police find out a secret about inspector Roel Swinnen.

The police investigate two strange disappearances: during the night the remains of an elderly woman were excavated from the cemetery, and only half a day later someone stole the body of the old governor out of the morgue. Didier meanwhile kidnaps Esther's daughter.
