Episodes
The time we have left / Life lessons
It's Luca Benvenuto's first day as coordinator of the 10th Tuscolano. The case is an assault on a couple. Meanwhile, Marco, Elena Argenti's brother, the new inspector of the district, finds himself in trouble due to gambling debts with the boss Luciano Gerace. Irene is taken to the hospital in very serious conditions and the entire district gathers around her and Alessandro. Meanwhile, Luca organizes the search for the robbers. Raffaele and Elena, instead, must investigate the death of a boy, Antonio Servidei, whose body was found on a construction site.
Until the last breath / Impossible love
Little Simone Fioroni is kidnapped from his mother Matilde's car. Meanwhile Alessandro continues his investigations into the robbery gang; following the trail of the car used by the robbers, which had been rigged, he arrives at a mechanic who is a potential accomplice of the criminals; to make him confess he risks going over the limit and is stopped by Luca, with whom he ends up arguing. Alberta Tizzani was attacked in her home and helped by her neighbor Marcello; it is he who suggests to the men of the X° Tuscolano that, although the woman claims it was a theft, the culprit could be Cristiano, her husband, a domineering and violent man. Cristiano, however, denies everything.
The spiral of hate / The last call
A woman accuses her ex-husband of beating and kidnapping her, but he denies it and for our men, faced with a web of hatred and lies, it becomes difficult to understand the truth. On the investigation side of the robbery gang, a glimmer of hope seems to open up: it seems that the gang will strike again soon. Our men prepare to surprise them on the spot. After the disappointment of the failed operation to arrest the members of the robbery gang, a strange phone call takes our heroes to the scene of a murder. The victim is an acrobat thief who may have stepped on someone's toes. But by investigating the man's movements, another truth will emerge. Meanwhile, Alessandro, thanks to a case he stumbles upon, finally faces his grief and returns to Irene's grave.
Abuse of power / Box number 37
The men of the 10th Tuscolano are on the trail of the Talicam technician who passed the gang the codes needed to carry out the robberies. In the meantime, a murder is committed in a call center and suspicion falls on one of the employees. After the setback caused by the death of Talicam technician Ottavio Rinaldi, the men of the X° Tuscolano manage to trace a clandestine gambling den run by Camorrista Luciano Gerace.
Side effects / The last journey
While Luca follows the trail of Luciano Gerace's (Dante Palladino) Camorra clan, Alessandro, trusting his police instinct, decides to "hook up" Melissa. Meanwhile, the rest of the X° Tuscolano deals with the murder of a mother, in which the main suspect is the woman's stepson. The case is complicated by the fact that the only witness is the lady's biological son, an autistic boy with whom no one seems able to communicate. While Luca perseveres on the trail of the Camorra, Alessandro continues to see Melissa in secret, putting his life at risk. The case of the episode instead concerns the alleged suicide of a woman no longer young suffering from cancer, whose "last journey" hides a much more disturbing truth.
Invisibles / The economy of feelings
After risking being killed, Alessandro involves his companions in the search for Melissa, which, in a crescendo of tension, ends with our friends falling into a trap set by the Flaviano brothers. During the episode, the murder of a construction site foreman is also investigated: what at first glance seems to be a simple case of revenge linked to accidental deaths at work, actually hides a much more complex scenario. Having miraculously escaped the Flaviano attack, our heroes receive a tip from Melissa that leads to the discovery of the weapons used in the robbery in a warehouse in Gerace. The investigations therefore seem to be concluded, but Luca and his team still have doubts. Meanwhile, an investigation is being carried out into the murder of a pharmaceutical representative struggling with a financial hole in his company and two women, his current wife and his ex, who hate each other to death.

The nameless arcanum / Guilty of innocence

While Giulio Flaviano suffers from withdrawal, our heroes discover that the morphine used by Irene's killers is purchased thanks to a stolen prescription pad, therefore recognizable: they just have to wait for them to go back to do the "shopping". In the meantime, they have to solve the case of a girl who disappeared 12 years earlier and was found in a coma in a wood.
The law of love / Listening
The inspectors of the 10th Tuscolano are dealing with a case involving a Muslim girl, Khadigia, beaten and repudiated by her husband Yusuf.

In the meantime, Luca and Alessandro, who narrowly missed capturing Giulio Flaviano, are now convinced: there is a mole who informs the criminals of their every move. The death of a twenty-year-old involves our team in a case with no apparent solution. Suspicions focus on the two roommates. Anna's brilliant intuition will reveal a much more bitter truth.
