The janitor of the local soccer stadium discovers a body which hands were amputated post mortem. Tom and Fien think about a ritual murder or a link with Mexican drug cartels, but Lucas thinks they are looking to far. He meanwhile asks pathologist Lathouwers why Tom wants him to secretly investigate a weapon. Fien notices Tom has a growing drinking problem and warns him for the possible consequences.

Soccer trainer Franky De Maeyer gets beaten into coma in the locker room. Fien stands alone when she is called to the scene, because Tom prefers spending his free time with Inez. Fien discovers Franky must have felt himself threatened, as he had recently requested a gun permission. But who was after him and why? Lucas confronts Tom with his private investigation. Mike is once again doing shady businesses and fears that it will now only take hours for his colleagues to find out.
