There he declares that he wants to hand himself over to the Carabinieri and that he wants to collaborate to frame Nicola Grimaldi and his mafia-style criminal organization known as, “Our company”. The marshal was right: the mafia has also branched out into Puglia. She was born with the Grimaldis to react to the power of the Camorra. Lopez has 42 affiliates arrested, but not the person who killed little Damiano. Nicola Grimaldi manages to escape.
Lopez had nothing to do with the child’s death. Who killed the boss’s son? «Lopez is hiding something – Fenoglio is convinced – it’s like he wants to put some justice in his life». Maybe to kill Damiano was a maniacan affiliate of the Grimaldi or someone who deals with so-called flash kidnappings.
The officer Antonio Pellecchia (Paolo Sassanelli) and to the young Montemurro (Francesco Centorame) investigate and find, in the same area of the countryside where the child’s body was found, a farmhouse belonging to a certain MAnzari, a music teacher, who hides an important clue.

Something doesn’t add up: an autopsy was never performed and it appears that the Prosecutor Aragona, uncle of Marco Lo Russo, a dear friend of Filippo and Gemma, wanted to close the case quickly. Why? Marco is hiding something.
