Marion and Romeo are asked to remove a difficult customer from a bank. Before they can remove the man, a woman takes everyone present hostage. She demands the release of a prisoner convicted of murder and threatens to kill Romeo and Marion if her demands are not met. Negotiations are complicated because no one knows who the woman is. To discover her identity, Wolfs and Eva begin a race against time.

As the American president arrives in the Netherlands, his secret service rounds up the anti-globalists who were preparing an attack. But Wolfs and Eva discover that the attack is a diversionary tactic. They believe that the IRA is behind it and that the attacker is already on the grounds of the hotel where the president is staying. But liaison officer Bill Stark doesn't believe that. Then an old acquaintance of Wolfs and Eva shows up.
