Hanging around conspiring criminals in a nightclub, sneaky snitch Ruige Ronny learns about a heist on an armed money transport, but while Tom is in the shower his hot date turns off his cellphone. Commissioner Wim Jacobs soon regrets having ignored Ronny's call when a violent attack on the road is reported to have caused spectacular damage. Next day, after the chief insists progress must be made in the hunt for Interpol-signaled, never trialled terrorist Sadun Hamudi, it takes all Dani's female charms and born bastard Tom's meanest persuasion by shameless threats to make Ronny tell them he once gathered some info for Hamudi, and his present whereabouts: a log cabin in the Ardennes. The raid is a success, yet instead of credit for rounding up the whole gang zone chief Treunen gets sneered at for being late at the new Antwerp PD chief of police's inauguration in city hall. The fatal car accident of businessman Koen Beeckman's wife and veto-holding only co-shareholder Aline is found to be a murder cover-up, apparently she had a secret love-nest in the Jewish quarter...

As the zone chief realizes it will never click between Jean and bitch Gwenny (who exchanges jealous tantrums with her cohabiting lover, commissioner Wim Jacobs), she is transferred -again- to poor Stijn, while old dog Jean gets the new boy as partner: colored Jimmy N'Tonga, who worked a year in another Antwerp precinct. Inititally both burly boys are suspicious, Jimmy of Jean's gay reputation and possible racist tendency, but it soon becomes clear different backgrounds and perspectives can be useful when dealing with gay viz. ethnic minority civilians. Snitch Ruige Ronny rightfully cried out Tom still gives him no respect, when he spontaneously shows a hard porn DVD: the detectives beg him to help them investigate once they realize it's a murder snuff movie; magistrate Stefaan Paulussen is officially put in charge, regardless of police pride and pulls rank after a succeeded raid not cleared with him in advance...

Dirk Verhulst, founding CEO of major Antwerp textile manufacturing company Texta, is kidnapped by two masked, armed men from his car before the eyes of his unharmed children, which he exceptionally drove to school at the insistence of his wife and firm's computer specialist Kristien Smekens. Commissioner Wim Jacobs' black-out defense seems even more hopeless now the fatal bullet is proven to be fired by his police pistol; Tom still doubts Wim's guilt but the prosecutor formally charges Wim and the chief suspends him. Jean and Jimmy investigate black African Tomani's complaint that a medicine man kept his advance without delivering the 'dispappearence into thin air' of his wife; superstitious Jimmy seems to believe he cursed Jean. On an untraceable website, Verhulst says his kidnappers demand a 10,000,000 Euro ransom. Tom suspects the firm's union rep (Franc)çois Roegiers, given webmaster experience, personal and firm records; Jean and Jimmy just arrested him, speeding under influence and resisting arrest; he points at Jeroen Plessers, a non-charged rapist, fired three days before, who sued Texta in vain for the ransom sum, saying his security software was stolen.

When Mrs. Lea Vanacker goes to the mayor complaining her report on the disappearance of her husband Renaat got no reply in three days, as the precinct is badly under-manned and Wim is in custody, the chief of police lectures the zone chief's managerial incompetence. Tom gets the case, Lea claims it must be murder by Renaat's business partner André Verboven, who would be romantically after her. André claims she is the seductress and an unbearable nagger, so he believes Renaat took another identity to flee the country with his mistress Els, about which he told Lea recently: two suspects in case of murder, but the lovebirds apparently really flew to the Caribbean... Ruige Ronny is proud as a peacock when his latest tip gets received by the top chief in person, and actually leads to the catch of 75 kilos of heroine arriving by ship.

Illegal construction worker Ivan Semberas falls to his death on an Antwerp wharf. His boss says he'll bring him to hospital himself, but the body is dumped besides a road, out of sight. Jimmy spots this, braving Jean's usual skepticism, but is in an unprecedented foul mood, even bitching at Rudy on the day of his demented wife's burial after her fatal fall in the rest home. Jimmy suddenly makes a huge problem of Jean's playful 'race related' pleasantries, but heroically singlehandedly prevents a drama when Belgian-born 'Moroccan' Rachid uses a knife to enforce frightened apologies from his autochthonous neighbors, whose adolescent sons are part of an abusive racist gang which just threw a Molotov cocktail at his home. Jimmy has his own family drama, and even offers his resignation... The chief of police gives the zone chief heaps for an unsolved wave of breakings and enterings without traces; Tom gets the case and realizes Alex Beiens, who broke into commissioner Wim Jacobs's place, may be the only one capable of such stunts, so he calls his marker on snitch Ronny to find out his accomplice, a trace which proves even more interesting for another case...

Ruige Ronny infiltrates the firm which minds Poortmans' hounds. (story line continues next episode).

Lawyer Poortmans cleverly covers his tracks with an antedated contract for the transfer of his animals to another firm, 'De Kluif' (Dutch for the Bone). When the corps commander hears Tom and Segers shadow the lawyer without authorization from the investigating magistrate, he orders them to cease and gives them another case, the disappearance of Gracienne Wuyts, daughter of a textile baron, according to her 30 year younger lover Diederik with her former flame François, who lives in Monaco. Uniformed cops Jean and Jimmy accidentally stumble on a night-shop hold-up with use of mace, but Jimmy regrets his hasty bravery. When Ivo is approached at home by a dodgy carpet salesman, he keeps him busy having secretly called the colleagues. After finding out Diederik lied about selling his IT firm for 500,000 Euro, as it went bust, they talk to his simpleton gardener Johnny, who admits he buried her corps. Just when Diederik confesses his elaborate plan, Tom gets an anonymous call "it will happen today", so he correctly fears Ronny's number is up as manhunt-prey, but where? The chase brings another shocking surprise...
