Hidden Assets

A year after the bombings, Trestford boss Richard Melnick dies in Antwerp, and CTU's Christian de Jong remains under investigation for shooting Luca Rivera; in Ireland, Bibi Brannigan makes an offer to CAB, now led by DS Claire Wallace.

Bibi reveals that Richard orchestrated the bombings as a ploy to get Deputy PM Viktor Maes into power and buy the Antwerp port; using her statement, CTU draw a link to additional operatives, but Bibi has even more shocking intel to share.

Maes intercedes with the mayor to help Frances Swann, Trestford's new head, but backs out when a journalist approaches Swann's rival about the port deal; CTU learns Richard's cause of death, and Bibi lands in the crosshairs of an assassin.

On Claire's orders, Bibi contacts her money launderer to set up a meeting in Antwerp, as Christian prepares to search Richard's apartment and offices; the mole within CTU works to sabotage their plans at every step.

Under pressure from her criminal backers, Swann threatens Maes to ensure the port sale proceeds, even as she begins to question who's behind it all; Christian is furious when Claire tells him about the mole, and Bibi's husband and son are targeted.

After a tragedy, CAB's investigation stalls, but Bibi shares with Claire the contents of Richard's will, listing a connection to the bomb warehouse; a CTU raid yields evidence against a key player, but the real mastermind might not be unmasked.
