|
Ciro Di Marzio - "the Immortal" - and Attilio, Camorristi of the Savastano clan, are stopped at a petrol pump to fill a canister; Ciro comments negatively on the order he is about to execute. Don Pietro Savastano is the head of a bloodthirsty Camorra branch in the Scampia neighbourhood, while Salvatore Conte is one of his connections who handles hashish traffic on his behalf. Due to the continuous rivalries between the two bosses, Don Pietro orders his right-hand man Ciro and Attilio to set fire to Conte's house, as a punishment. The fire causes a series of retaliations, one of which almost kills Ciro. Don Pietro's next order is to invade Conte's base and kill him and his whole clan. Conte manages to escape and flee to Spain, while four Don Pietro affiliates are killed, including Ciro's mentor and father-figure, Attilio. Gennaro "Genny" Savastano, the son of the boss Pietro and his wife Imma, is an immature and superficial young man. On the evening of the fire at Conte's house, Genny goes to a nightclub in Casavatore, where he takes a strong liking to a girl, Noemi, who is related to a rival boss. | |||||||

The Guardia di Finanza stops an important shipment of drugs from Honduras. Don Pietro suspects a traitor inside the clan. Meanwhile, Don Pietro tries to patch up the trouble created by Genny, because he needs the Casavatore family's support to manage and continue to expand his criminal business. The Casavatore boss proposes a gesture that would publicly humiliate Genny. Don Pietro reacts by ordering the death of the Casavatore boss; he also urges Genny to become a murderer in order to prove he is ready to lead. Ciro goes with Genny: he captures an outcast drug addict and orders Genny to kill him. Genny lacks the will to hurt him, so Ciro is forced to deliver the killing shot. Genny lies to his father, claiming he shot the addict, and receives a new motorcycle as a reward. In the evening, Don Pietro catches Ciro also lying about the killing and punishes him by forcing him to drink his urine, to confirm his absolute submission and obedience. In the middle of the night, Genny rides his motorcycle at high speed ignoring road signs and traffic lights and is subsequently hit by a car and taken to hospital. Don Pietro receives a call about the accident and drives towards the hospital at high speed. A traffic police patrol stops him and finds a bag of money in the boot of the car and cocaine in a borrowed jacket. | |||||||

The Savastano clan comes into conflict with a gang of Nigerian drug-dealers. They demand higher profit margins from the sale of the drugs from the Savastanos due to the stresses of dealing with crack addicts. The Nigerian ringleader urges one of his collaborators to be deliberately arrested in order to speak and deal directly with Don Pietro in prison. Don Pietro is annoyed and angry at the requests of the Nigerians and threatens deadly consequences if the drug dealing does not resume immediately and on his terms. Don Pietro is tired of the restrictions and the rigorous rules imposed by the prison warden. The clan's lawyer has not yet managed to find a legal pretext why the boss could be released. So the boss triggers a riot to intimidate the prison warden and asks the Nigerians for help, promising an increase in drug dealing profits in return. The revolt ends as soon as Don Pietro manages to obtain some privileges and the removal of some prison restrictions. In the evening the boss orders his loyalists by phone to kill residents of the African quarter. The ambush is performed during the night. The next day Don Pietro is subjected to the 41 bis regime because the call from the previous evening was intercepted. | |||||||

The Savastano clan is in financial difficulties after the arrest of Don Pietro, the revolt of the Nigerians and the seizure of the expected drugs. Imma and Genny leave for Milan again to meet the accountant Musi and get the money they need. The accountant acted without the clan's knowledge investing all the liquidity in a company that has now lost a multi-million dollar contract, causing its value to collapse. Desperate, Franco Musi tries to corrupt the public official who manages the contract. The attempt fails and the accountant ends up in prison. Genny continues to be detached from the family business and thinks only of Noemi. Imma decides to take command of the clan herself, disobeying her husband's orders. Imma effects Musi's release from prison. The accountant is free and is invited to a dinner with Imma. The boss's wife announces that she wants her money back and orders the accountant to commit suicide to stop the investigation of him that could compromise the assets and the money of the Savastano clan. Imma goes to visit her husband who is detained on 41 bis regime. Don Pietro tells his wife that Genny is the new Savastano boss and that he must be helped by Ciro. Imma reluctantly seems to accept her husband's will, but then tells Ciro he needs to go to Spain upon her husband's request. | |||||||

Imma ignores her husband's orders and continues to command the Savastano clan. Imma orders Ciro to go to Barcelona on an extremely dangerous mission to reach a truce with Salvatore Conte, who has now become one of the major drug traffickers in southern Europe. Genny is sent to Honduras to calm the drug producers who have not yet been paid and to form a new agreement. Ciro is at the Barcelona airport when Massimo, Conte's driver, picks him up. Ciro is placed in one of the most important hotels in the Catalan city and is informed that Conte cannot currently attend to him. The next day Ciro threatens Massimo and meets Salvatore Conte. Conte has not forgotten the fire at his mother's house and leaves Ciro well offshore in the sea after having invited him onto his yacht tour. After some time, another boat sent by Conte picks Ciro out of the water, and Conte requires him to become his spokesman to make arrangements with a dangerous Russian clan that is threatening his business, with the guarantee of a long collaboration with the Savastano clan if he is successful. After closing the deal (at the price of a dramatic participation in Russian roulette), Ciro returns to Italy and discovers that Imma is distorting the clan's internal balance by taking absolute control of the local territory. Don Pietro calls his wife after learning that his will has not been respected. Imma convinces her husband to leave her in command of the clan since she herself is the only person she can truly trust and who has been with him at every moment of life. | |||||||

The first drug supplies arrive from Spain. Imma orders the opening of a new market for drug dealing and makes fierce competition for all the other Camorra families, which risks retaliation. Ciro receives the humiliating order to manage the drug spot operations relating to the sales in the new square, accepting with reluctance and resentment. Imma is contacted by Marta Giacobone, a girl seeking protection after her father's suicide due to the growing demands for money from the usurer Leccalecca. The loan shark is killed by the clan, and Marta provides the family apartment located in a strategic point for the control of the market square. There have been no reports from Genny in Honduras for two weeks. Marta is killed, and at night, a police raid dismantles the Savastano clan's drug spot in the square. Imma calls a summit with the heads of rival families to offer them a truce. She informs the other bosses that Savastano has the exclusive right to import drugs and that they are the only ones who can sell quality goods at low prices. The truce proposal states that other families will have to confide in her and submit to her conditions. During sleep, Imma is awakened by some sudden noises and a gunshot at home. She goes to the entrance and discovers that Genny, who has come back tired and deeply changed, has shot her dog for having bitten him. | |||||||

Honduras has transformed Genny into a proud and violent man. He is intent on demonstrating to the old members of the clan that he is now the new boss and then convenes a meeting in a restaurant. When the summit is over, Genny shoots the waiter, an old school friend of his for an unfortunate joke, but the other men are skeptical. Ciro wants to take on an increasingly important role in the management of the clan and tries to win over Genny, but sees his ambitions destroyed when Genny tells him that there is no place for him at the top of the clan. Genny, meanwhile, starts a relationship with a new girl, Jessica. Genny argues with his mother and confesses that he was forced to quarter a man with a machete because he complained too much. His experiences have made him a violent criminal with a yearning for omnipotence. Imma congratulates him. Genny has command of the clan and begins to assert himself through the control of politics. The city of Giugliano is considered very strategic for the clan's business and Genny wants to dominate it at all costs, despite the mayor being faithful to Don Pietro. Michele is a town councilor of Giugliano with a weak and manipulable character and he is also a friend of Genny. Through a combination of electoral cheating and death threats, Michele becomes Giugliano's mayor, forcing out the previous mayor. Ciro meditates revenge against the Savastano and begins to disseminate doubts and uncertainties among the senior members of the clan to put them against Genny. Meanwhile, Daniele, a 16-year-old mechanic fascinated by the perverse world of the Camorra, is manipulated by Ciro to become a drug courier in exchange for money and expensive goods. | |||||||

Genny orders the new mayor of Giugliano to carry out a major building project on which the Savastano will be able to exercise a strong hold. Tonino Russo is also involved in the project, an unscrupulous entrepreneur connected to Salvatore Conte. The building project is stopped due to the Romano brothers refusing to sell their car store located in the area where the project will be carried out. Genny orders Ciro to solve the problem of the Romano brothers, and he kills them. Ciro instructs Daniele to kill Tonino Russo, whose importance is downplayed by Ciro, in return for a large sum of money and an expensive motorcycle. With the money he received from Ciro, Daniele gives his 15-year-old girlfriend Manu an engagement ring decorated with a diamond crown. Daniele kills Tonino Russo and decides to spend the evening in a bar with Manu, disobeying Ciro's order to return home immediately. A TV news channel reports the killing of Tonino Russo, and Daniele learns that Russo was a leading man in the Salvatore Conte clan. Daniele leaves Manu alone at the bar and approaches home quietly where he overhears Rosario there discussing killing him. Fearing for his life, Daniele runs away and asks for help from his friend Bruno, who offers him a secluded place to shelter for the night and agrees to collect Manu from the bar. Before he can do this, Ciro arrives at the bar to look for Daniele, and pretending to be Bruno, he invites Manu into his car. Ciro kidnaps and tortures her for information about the current location of Daniele. When she can offer no information, he kills and burns her. The next morning, Daniele moves to a new hiding place, stopping first at a diner where he sees more TV news that reports the death of Manu. Salvatore Conte leaves Spain to return to Naples to personally deal with the assassination of Tonino Russo. Convinced that he no longer has any way out, Daniele points his gun into his mouth. | |||||||

Genny, not suspecting Ciro's betrayal, entrusts him with the task of finding Tonino Russo's murderer. The young boss is worried that the agreements with Salvatore Conte are compromised by the killing. Daniele, who has gone into hiding in an abandoned place where his father once worked, finally manages to phone his older brother Massimo, the driver of Conte, and admits what has happened. Ciro cannot find Daniele and, fearing discovery, he tells Genny that Russo's murderer is probably a member of the Savastano clan. He promises to find Daniele and deliver him to Genny. Massimo acts impulsively to save his brother's life and tries to kill Conte. After a brief struggle, Massimo loses, and confesses to Conte the actions of his brother, deceived by Ciro. Salvatore Conte assures Massimo that his brother has nothing to fear. Massimo calls Daniele back and informs him that the problem has been solved and to wait at the farmhouse until Conte arrives. Daniele comes out of hiding when they arrive and confesses that Ciro Di Marzio ordered him to kill Russo. Conte invites him for a hug to obtain forgiveness in a merciful gesture, however, in the embrace Conte suddenly produces a gun and shoots him in the head, and also fires at Massimo as he speeds off. | |||||||

At Daniele's funeral, the young members of the Savastano gang gather in front of the church and chant in his honour. Bruno flees to Marseille, and Massimo is seen succumbed to his wounds in his car. Genny convenes a meeting between the men of the old guard and the new generation of the clan. Genny wants Conte punished for killing a member of the Savastanos, and says he must be found immediately. The young people agree with Genny's plan, while the elders are against it; Zecchinetta, one of the most faithful of Don Pietro, denies the hypothesis that Salvatore Conte is trying to corrupt the members of the Savastano clan. Alone, Ciro tells Genny that he suspects Zecchinetta has already allied himself with Conte, and Genny orders his murder. From his safe house, Conte is talking to his gang stating that his only goal is to get rid of Genny Savastano. The meeting is also attended by three older members of the Savastano clan ('o Baroncino, 'o Fringuello and 'o Zingaro). The old guard are furious at the attitude of the new boss and cannot stand the lack of respect from the young guard. Genny visits his father in prison, and is shocked when he sees his father in a catatonic state. The old guard kill Tonino "Spiderman", a big-mouthed one of Genny's boys. Bruno sent a cell phone home with a conversation stored in it. Bruno's mother informs Imma. Manu had phoned Bruno at the time that Ciro picked her up, and her interaction with him was recorded. Ciro's voice can be heard threatening and torturing her for information related to Daniele's location, proof that Ciro is the traitor to the Savastano clan. Imma copies the call on a CD, entrusting it to her friend Marina, who promises to deliver it to the family lawyer to give to Genny should Imma be killed. The next day, she asks Ciro to meet her and makes him listen to the phone call recorded on Bruno's phone. She accuses him of treason, but says if he organises an ambush to kill Salvatore Conte, she will let him live if he then leaves Naples permanently. Imma tells Ciro that her lawyer will give a recording of the call to Genny should she be killed. Nevertheless, she is killed shortly after she leaves. Marina has been killed too, and Rosario takes the CD from her and destroys it. Ciro meets Salvatore Conte and proposes an alliance. | |||||||

Don Pietro is in a catatonic state and does not react when prison officials tell him that his wife is dead. At home, Genny finds an envelope with "for my Genny" written on it in his mother's closet, and an enclosed CD. Genny listens to it and now knows that Ciro betrayed the clan and is responsible for his mother's death. Suspicious that Genny knows all, Ciro decides to flee, ordering his wife and daughter to pack as soon as possible to leave Naples. Meanwhile, Genny's boys arrive and surround Ciro's house, but Ciro and family manage to escape over the roof and take refuge in a house outside the city. Genny orders all the old members of the clan killed, and Malammore is the only one who survives, one of the closest and most faithful men to Don Pietro. Ciro returns to Naples to meet with Conte, who he manages to convince that he is able to get Genny out in the open so that he can kill him. It is known that Ciro will accompany his daughter to a concert. Genny falls into Ciro's trap and enters the concert hall alone while he orders his men to surround the outer perimeter of the building. He enters the auditorium to personally kill Ciro. Before they can reach the concert hall, Conte and his men ambush Genny's boys. Ciro, realising that Genny has managed to get to the concert hall, flees with his wife and daughter, but before they can manage to leave the auditorium, Genny makes his entrance. As chaos ensues due to fleeing frightened parents, Ciro shoots Genny several times. Thinking he is dead, Ciro runs out with his daughter in his arms while his wife Deborah angrily accuses him of having used them as bait. Deborah takes the child and leaves with her. Due to his mental state, Don Pietro is about to be transferred to a different prison. On the road, the transfer van is ambushed by masked men who open fire and kill all the prison officers. Once Don Pietro is reached, one of the assailants takes off his mask — it was Malammore who came to free him. Don Pietro is freed, and enters a car with Malammore. Meanwhile, as Genny lies on the floor of the concert hall in a pool of blood, his right hand twitches. | |||||||

Patrizia and Don Pietro meet Genny in Rome. Genny reveals that he wants to avoid a new war and the pact with Ciro; Don Pietro accepts the conditions. Ciro explains the terms of the agreement reached with Gennaro and his men to his faithfuls: the Alliance will acquire drugs only from Genny and Don Pietro and what remains of the Savastano clan will be confined in the ward assigned to them. The young followers of Genny, the Alley Boys led by 'o Track, oppose the agreement and rob a betting house without asking permission. Malammore is sent to suppress the revolt and puts in a beating, ordering him to respect the established pacts. The Alley Boys react by killing one of Malammore's men, and he in turn responds by ambushing o' Track, but fails to kill him. Ciro proposes to the Alley Boys, by now unarmed and disorganised, to cross over to his side. With a coup in Malammore's district, the boys steal weapons and unilaterally nominate themselves masters of the squares in front of the Savastano clan. Genny arranges a secret agreement with the o' Principe, granting him more drugs than the predetermined to strengthen him with a promise to help Genny get into power. Genny is upset about the Alley Boy initiatives; he organizes a meeting with the guarantee of 'o Cardillo, but 'o Track kills the men of Genny, announcing his mutiny towards the Savastanos and to maintain full possession of the square of Malammore. Genny accepts and returns to Rome to prepare for his upcoming trip to Honduras. Patrizia informs Don Pietro, now deeply disappointed by Genny and his "weakness" against the Alley Boys, delegitimising the figure of his son and declaring war on the Alliance. | |||||||

'O Principe continues to receive exclusively superior quality drugs from Genny at an advantageous price, as per their previous secret agreement. 'O Nano, a close friend of Ciro, shows distrust of 'o Principe, suspected of profiting off the Alliance due to the particularly high earnings of his square, despite being the man who brings more money to the Alliance. 'O Principe in fact leads a particularly luxurious lifestyle and does not hide his wealth; he buys luxury cars, a panther, and buys a nail salon business for his girlfriend Azmera. Meanwhile, Patrizia no longer wants to host Don Pietro. Don Pietro sends Malammore to threaten and convince Patrizia to resume her role. For the safety of her family, Patrizia decides to go back to Don Pietro. In the meantime, Don Pietro is organizing the execution of the 'o Principe, using once again the young Angelino Sepino. The Alliance finds itself with the arrival of a new drug shipment. 'O Nano confides in 'o Track his suspicions, namely that he thinks 'o Principe secretly buys the drugs from Genny, cutting it even more. The storefront of the nail salon owned by Azmera is shot up, and all suspicions are placed on 'o Nano. 'O Nano is excluded from the Alliance and is beaten and deprived of his own square. 'O Nano presents himself before all the members of the Alliance and swears that he was not responsible for the shooting at the store, publicly apologizing to 'o Principe, and thus being reinstated into the Alliance. Back in his square, 'o Nano brutally kills Manolo, to whom the Alliance had given control of the square. Meanwhile, Azmera disappears. 'O Principe, in despair, takes his assigned driver Angelino to where the panther is kept to feed it. Once stopped at the gates, Don Pietro and his men arrive, who had been informed about the movements of 'o Principe by Angelino. 'O Principe reveals to the boss that he is a man close to his son Genny, key to his operation, but Don Pietro shoots him in the head anyway, interested only in his personal advantage. | |||||||

Patrizia tells Don Pietro that chaos erupts within the Alliance. The members of the Alliance are in fact convinced that 'o Nano is the instigator of the killing of 'o Principe, given the disagreements previously had. The only one who tries to calm the members is Ciro, at least until there is evidence. Ciro suspects Don Pietro's intervention to destabilise the fragile balance of the clan. Ciro first speaks with Azmera to learn more details, who tells him of Angelino Sepino, that it was him who had bought 'o Principe to feed the panther. Ciro tells 'o Nano that if he is truly innocent, he must prove it in the eyes of others, and advises him to go away for a while. Fearing for his life, 'o Nano listens to Ciro's advice and prepares for departure. He greets his cronies and leaves with his wife and daughter for the Lazio coast, not too convinced that Ciro actually believes in his innocence. However, as soon as he arrives at his destination he is reached and killed on the beach in front of his daughter with his wife watching. The Alliance learns of what happened and the suspects initially fall on 'o Mulatto, a friend of 'o Principe. Ciro goes to 'o Nano's widow to get a clearer picture of the situation, but she was not able to identify the killer. Ciro decides to captured Angelino Sepino in his home; he is taken to a cemetery to be interrogated. Ciro shows no mercy to the boy's requests for forgiveness, which he says was threatened and forced. Ciro is to bury him alive and kill his girlfriend, unless he reveals the instigator of the 'o Principe murder; the boy confesses that it was Don Pietro. Ciro decides to spare Sepino's life, provided he leaves Naples and never returns. After the funeral of 'o Nano, Ciro, increasingly obsessed with the memory of his wife, takes his daughter for a walk on the beach and confesses that he brought her there because her mother died there. | |||||||

With Ciro dead, Genny struggles between the discouragement for the loss of his partner and the worry of having to defend himself from the Capaccio brothers. For this reason, together with Patrizia, Genny goes to Gerlando, his uncle (who is married to his mother Imma's cousin) and the head of the Levante family, an important clan of Villa Literno in the province of Caserta that are affiliated with the Cosa nostra. Although Gerlando had been turned away from Genny and the Savastano family at the behest of Pietro, he is willing to help. The Levantes learn, through Albanian informants, that 'o Crezi would go to a betting centre, and they give him a warning by detonating a car bomb at the centre, which wounds 'o Crezi. The Capaccios then decide to come to an agreement and to make the much-desired peace agreement with Genny and Sangueblù. From the agreement, the Capaccio and Sangueblù will retain control of the areas of central Naples such as Forcella and La Maddalena, while Secondigliano belongs to Genny, in addition to continuing to supply the drugs to all of Naples which will then be resold by everyone at the same price.

Through his politician friend Michele Casillo, Genny meets Alberto Resta, an entrepreneur interested in collaborating with him on his project with the help of his trusted assistant Tiziana. With Alberto's help, Genny begins to buy the lands necessary for the construction of the future airport before presenting the contract for its construction. Alberto communicates that only one man has opposed the transfer of his land because he is aware of Genny's past, to whom he does not want to give it away. Genny offers the man €300,000, eight times the properties value, and later offers to pay for his wife's liver transplant treatment which can be done in Brazil also for €300,000. The man tells his wife, and she begs him to agree to the offer. She has no idea she was inadvertently poisoned by her husband's illegal waste burial on the family property. At first reluctant, the man then seems to convince himself to accept the proposal, but before being able to communicate it to Genny himself, he is brutally attacked and further intimidated to accept the offer. Genny visits the man, observing his wounds, and he says he changed his mind about Genny's offer due to the attack. Genny suspects Alberto and he confesses that he was tired of waiting and therefore instigated the beating. Genny then goes back to the man and informs him that, through Gerlando, that he knows his land is poisoned due to illegal dumping, and that he himself is likely the cause of his wife's cancer. Genny then offers him a lower figure than the one proposed previously and threatening to reveal everything to his wife. The man therefore accepts. | |||||||

He then arrives at Forcella to inform Sangueblù about the news about the seized drugs and to ask him to help him find an alleged traitor within their Alliance. Sangueblù refuses, telling Nicola that the matter does not concern him. Valerio, however, thinks differently from his friend and reminds him that they cannot go on with selling pills to teenagers. Sangueblù explains to him that he thinks that Nicola is planning to overtake command of Secondigliano in place of Patrizia. At an appointment with the African contact, Nicola and Lino are ambushed where his cousin Lino is killed with a gunshot. Behind the ambush and the theft of the drugs are the brothers Saro and Francesco Levante, who urge Nicola to kill Patrizia, who they deem unsuitable for the role of boss, and to take her place as boss of Secondigliano. If Nicola does not obey, his family will be killed and Patrizia will be made to believe that he is behind the seized drugs. In the meantime, Patrizia manages to speak with her brother outside the place where he works, informing him of her pregnancy. Michelangelo, on the other hand, learns from his sister Grazia of what has been planned by the other two brothers, and manages to stop Nicola on his way to kill Patrizia. Michelangelo takes Nicola with him to clarify everything with his brothers. Michelangelo learns from his brothers that the order to kill Patrizia came from their father. Michelangelo, unable to go against his family, kills Nicola. Michelangelo goes to inform Patrizia of the death of Nicola, who falsely tells her that he had intended to take her place in Secondigliano. Patrizia tells him that she is pregnant by him. Michelangelo then goes to his father to inform him that Patrizia is pregnant with his child. Gerlando, despite being against the relationship, gives him his blessing. | |||||||

Sangueblù and his men cannot wait any longer for the new drug shipment promised by Patrizia. They attempt an assault on an armoured vehicle, but the ambush goes awry when the escort for the armoured vehicle opens fire killing 'o Top Model, a new father. Valerio tries to take matters into his own hands and, in agreement with 'a Golia and 'o Cantonese, sets up a meeting in secret with the Capaccios to understand more about the seized cargo. A new load of drugs arrives in Forcella, but Sangueblù does not see Valerio and begins to have suspicions about him. Valerio, meeting with the Capaccios and suggests a new Alliance between Forcella and the Capaccios. The Capaccios agree, but are also skeptical that his proposal is only in order to take command of Forcella instead of Sangueblù. Valerio later justifies his absence in front of Enzo with the excuse that his father recently taken from a heart attack. Sangueblù does not buy the excuse and goes to Valerio's father's house, finding his health to be fine. He then summons 'a Golia and 'o Cantonese to follow Valerio like shadows. Before the meeting with the Capaccios later that night, Valerio goes to his father at the port, giving him an envelope. At the meeting, Valerio is accompanied by 'a Golia and 'o Cantonese, and they find the truth previously discovered by Nicola before he was killed—the Levante family were behind the seized drugs as they wanted to incite war in Secondigliano to eliminate the Alliance. Valerio reiterates the proposal made in the first meeting with the Capaccios, but he is killed by 'a Golia, to the amazement of those present, saying that Valerio was secretly recording them on his phone during the meeting, pretending to betray Enzo and Patrizia, but with the real purpose of reporting everything to them. 'A Golia then proposes an agreement, this time to really eliminate Sangueblù and Patrizia; with hesitance, the Levantes agree. Sangueblù is informed of Valerio's death, with 'a Golia falsely declaring that he killed Valerio because he had tried to escape. At Sangueblù's request, the body of Valerio is abandoned inside the trunk of a car outside of his father's house. | |||||||

When human remains are found during excavations for the construction of a multi-level parking garage, Tiziana Palumbo, Alberto's assistant, discovers that those lands were used for the illegal disposal of bodies. Assuming the corpses have been there for a long time, Alberto wants the work to continue, but Tiziana does not trust that all of the workers will keep silent, and instead proposes to alert the authorities to allow the project to be completely transparent. Alberto is later summoned by a friend, Ferdinando, who informs him of anti-money laundering investigations that have been launched against him. Ferdinando advises him to confess who is really backing the project, and that he must repay all outstanding debts, otherwise the bank will initiate bankruptcy proceedings against him. Alberto leaves without saying anything further, and later asks for help from Genny, who through the consortium of three foreign companies, will give him the amount to pay off the debt. Meanwhile, Patrizia marries Michelangelo, and it seems that the differences with Gerlando and his wife are settled. As a wedding gift, Genny tells Patrizia that she will now be in full control of Secondigliano, and everything she will gain from the square, from then on, is hers. Magistrate Walter Ruggieri summons Alberto to clarify some doubts about three foreign companies, with whom he works as a consultant, finding the income to resolve his debts with banks. Alberto denies everything by arguing otherwise, that is, that he is a creditor to those companies, soliciting their payments and then covering the debts he had with the banks. Alberto later asks Tiziana if all the payments she has dealt with since the beginning of the airport project have been successful; she says yes and then he confesses to her about his meeting with the magistrate. Although Tiziana promises to keep this between them, she reports everything to Genny, telling him that Alberto did not mention his name to Walter. Genny, however, suspects it is only a matter of time until Alberto cracks. Genny and Alberto meet on the coast for another future business to plan together. When they leave, Alberto drives away, but as he approaches a turn in the road, realizes his brakes have been cut, and dies as his car falls down a cliff. | |||||||

Patrizia recovers, and decides to talk to Ruggeri. At the meeting Patrizia tells Ruggeri that she will talk, but only if she has the certainty of not returning to prison. He tells her that it will take 120 days to check if her tips are true, or if she says something which could lead to a certain sentence. Patrizia accepts and is taken to a safe place where she speaks with Ruggeri and the lawyer who has been assigned to her. Patrizia begins with admitting that she killed Scianel. Ruggeri, also looking for information on Genny, shows her a picture of him to Patrizia and asks if she knows him; she pauses. Genny meets with 'o Diplomato and Michelangelo in the company of his men. Genny needs Michelangelo's help to free Patrizia by finding where the police have taken her, and telling 'o Diplomato where Sangueblù is hiding in return. Sangueblù is met by 'o Cantonese, who, feeling guilty, has decided to warn him that 'o Diplomato now knows the location of their hideout. Sangueblù immediately races to warn the others, but it is too late as Maria and two other loyalists have already been found and murdered by 'o Diplomato. Michelangelo meets his family at his parents' house, and Saro accuses him of having Patrizia arrested in order not to see her die at their hands; Michelanglo admits to the action.

Genny and Patrizia remain alone for a final conversation. Genny wants to know from Patrizia what she told Ruggeri, and she says that she only spoke of herself, without talking about him. Genny does not believe her, and Patrizia, almost offended, remarks that she has never betrayed him. Genny reminds Patrizia when he told her that he should not trust anyone, including himself. Michelangelo is audibly killed on the plane. Patrizia, in disbelief, immediately understands that it is her turn; Genny kills her with three shots. Led by his men, he reaches his hideout — a tiny, dingy underground room. | |||||||

Magistrate Ruggieri continues his investigations into Genny, carries out an inspection of the cemetery aedicule of the Savastano family and finds the body of Don Pietro, placed inside the tomb in the name of Donna Imma. The drug dealing squares of Secondigliano are unhappy with the treatment reserved for them by the Levante family. More and more arrests take place in places where drugs are sold. At a meeting of the square leaders, Federico Maccauro, known as 'o Munaciello (Little Monk), who however does not have his own square but aspires to acquire it, invites the other zone leaders to stay with the Levantes, in the absence of valid alternatives. Together with his brother Cosimo, known as Canzuncella, he went in person to report on the situation to the Levantes. Genny is tired of hiding and is in a hurry to get Secondigliano back, and to do this, he has to convince the ringleaders to come with him, promising them a new shipment of the best quality drugs. Due to lack of time, he tries to get hold of it by attempting to take possession of the Levantes' shipment. Through the Croatian broker Igor, he manages to inquire about the recipient of the incoming shipment: it is Don Vincenzo Carignano, 'o Galantommo (the Gentleman), an elderly, old-fashioned boss, whose word is always sacred and inviolable. Genny fails to convince him to give him the shipment, even though he offers to pay him double what the Levantes promised. Meanwhile 'o Munaciello receives the wages to be distributed to the families of the prisoners, and becomes part of the Levante family thanks to the engagement arranged with Grazia at the behest of her brothers. Federico gladly accepts, even though he is aware of the girl's opposition. Azzurra, having gone to Ruggeri's public prosecutor's office with the family lawyer, clears her husband of Patrizia's accusations regarding the murder of Don Pietro: she demonstrates through the documents of the doctor and the midwife how on the same day of the murder of Don Pietro Savastano, Genny was by her side, while she gave birth to the other Pietro Savastano, their son. At the Campania fruit and vegetable market, Genny manages to take possession of the Levantes' shipment in the middle of the night, stealing it from 'o Galantommo's men. Ciro Di Marzio, on the other hand, arrives in Secondigliano. | |||||||

Once in Secondigliano, Ciro meets the very faithful 'o Pitbull, who has just served a period of detention in the district house, for unknown reasons. He then sends him to Forcella to fetch Sangueblù. Enzo has been living in a basement for some time, and his lifelong friends, 'o Bellebuono and Ronni, visit him from time to time and update him on the new ferocious war going on between Genny and the Levantes. Dull in the soul and without motivation, when he finally sees his friend and mentor Ciro Di Marzio still alive, he finds new lifeblood. With the load available, Genny wins the trust of the square bosses, but 'o Munaciello insists on staying with the Levantes. Instead, her brothers go to 'o Galantommo, to discuss what happened with the theft of the shipment. Saro suspects that the old boss sold it to Genny, but Don Vincenzo denies it and to make up for it he agrees to ally with the Levantes in the war against Genny. After the Levantes leave, his wife Nunzia suggests he surrender to Genny, but is determined to continue due to the name and history that had always distinguished him. Genny prepares the definitive attack on the Levantes and does so by managing to convince 'o Munaciello to go with him by threatening to kill his brother Cosimo, who is cornered in a kennel. During a dinner with the Levante family, the engagement of Federico to Grazia is made official. With the excuse of smoking a cigarette, Federico leaves with her, saving her from the massacre which is shortly carried out by 'o Maestrale, Raffaele and 'o Jaccio. Grazia soon after obtains the same fate as her brothers, killed by 'o Munaciello after having openly declared her contempt for him. Genny takes Secondigliano back, reorganizes the drug dealing squares by assigning the area of the deceased Uocchiebell' to 'o Munaciello, and even settles the score with 'o Galantommo by having him killed on the street by 'o Maestrale. Sangueblù summons 'o Bellebuono and Ronni to Ciro's hiding place to see him again. The two, albeit incredulous, are happy to embrace him again and together with Enzo openly express their support in the definitive war to be launched against Genny. On the same night in which Genny holds a business meeting with entrepreneurs looking for capital, to restart the consortium in view of the construction of the airport. Nunzia prepares her deceased husband in view of the funeral and decides revenge by inquiring about the family of the young boss of Secondigliano. Ciro Di Marzio declares war on Genny by killing Raffaele, the square foreman of Scampia, 'o King and two of his men who are in charge of taking the drug shipments to be distributed in the squares. Genny learns the news of his return through an enormous inscription "l'Immortale è turnat" ("The Immortal has returned) which appeared on the wall near his new home with the hanging bodies of Raffaele and 'o King underneath. | |||||||

The war has begun. Sangueblù goes together with 'o Bellebuono and Ronni to enlarge their army. Genny militarizes the squares by doubling the men in each area and sends Fernando, a former loyalist of Ciro during the split of the old Savastano clan, as an infiltrator within the Immortal's group. However, the latter no longer trusts him, given the recent past with Gennaro and wants proof of his loyalty. Nunzia continues to inquire about the family of the boss of Secondigliano and sends Carmelo to inspect the villa where she resides in view of an imminent attack. Azzurra wants to escape from Naples, and offers money to Giovanni, one of the bodyguards defending her villa, to get some false passports useful for expatriation for her and little Pietro. She then obliges Tiziana to give her a hand if she does not want her name and all the work done so far around the consortium to end up in the investigations of the prosecutor. She entrusts her with the delicate task of selling jewels. Fernando earns Ciro's trust by indicating the place where Franco, one of Genny's outposts, usually visits in order to be able to steal the profits from his drug dealing areas. In front of a betting shop, 'o Bellebuono and Ronni shoot him as soon as he leaves the club, then steal a bag with half a million euros inside. Genny is always updated on Fernando's moves and manages through these to find the Immortal's hiding place located in an abandoned warehouse in Vigliena. The boss continues to send Fernando to the scene and advises him once inside to send a message by phone in order to start the ambush and end the war. Azzurra first receives the fake passports from Giovanni, then Tiziana in her villa to pocket the earnings of over one million euros for the jewels sold. Nunzia's men break in to be able to kill her, but she manages to escape by shielding herself with Tiziana, who dies. Giovanni wards off some attackers as she escapes but he too dies at the hands of Carmelo. Azzurra and little Pietro are forced to take refuge in Genny's house. The boss and 'o Maestrale receive Fernando's message via telephone and head with their men to the place indicated by him for the final ambush on Ciro. They find the shelter empty with Fernando already dead in a chair and his phone ringing inside his jacket. Genny answers and the Immortal makes fun of him during the call. Back home he finds his wife still shocked by the attack suffered by her and their son. | |||||||

Genny responds to the attack suffered by his wife by going with 'o Maestrale and 'o Jaccio to the Carignano family cemetery aedicule. Inside it he first has the coffins of Nunzia's son and husband removed, to then demolish them and throw their corpses in front of the aedicule. Ciro, Enzo and their companions flee to Forcella. Genny sends the Maccauro brothers to the city center with a bag full of money to receive information about them and their possible collaboration from the locals to be able to eliminate them. MMA, a former lieutenant of Sangueblù, among the first in the past to betray his group together with the deceased 'a Golia, is willing to help them, not for money, but for a shipment of drugs. 'O Cantonese on the other hand, albeit still together with MMA, helps Ciro and his allies by keeping them informed of the situation in Forcella since their arrival, and helping them, at the right moment, to escape. The Maccauros receive false information about their enemies' refuge and go there with some men, finding it empty. At the same instant Sangueblù offers himself in place of Ciro to speak to Nunzia in view of a possible alliance with her. He goes to the woman locked up during the journey inside the trunk of a car with 'o Cantonese driving her. Some time later, Cosimo and Federico manage to get the right tip on the hiding place of their enemies and send MMA and some men to assassinate them. Ciro and the others are alerted in time by 'o Cantonese and manage to escape. They make their way through gunshots to be able to reach the car designated to lead them out of Forcella. MMA dies in the shooting, killed by Ciro, and 'o Cantonese loses his life while covering the backs of his allies to help them escape. The Maccauros arrive late on the spot and Cosimo is wounded in the shoulder by a bullet fired by Ronni. Ciro joins Nunzia and gets her support. Azzurra deepens her knowledge of Luciana and confesses her worries about the work and the war that her husband is waging, according to which he has acquired too many enemies over the years. Genny and 'o Maestrale go to the place indicated by Igor, their broker, for their shipment, but find the depot empty. Sangueblù's men stole his load under the direction of him and Ciro, after having kidnapped the broker, then tied him to a chair to get all the information about him. Once the objective has been obtained, Nunzia gives the entire load to the Immortal, and has Igor killed. Ciro can thus arm his army due to the proceeds he will obtain from the shipment. | |||||||

Genny loses another load to his opponents and quickly gets one from a Slovenian broker to replenish his squares quickly. Ciro begins to supply his areas and start dealing with the loads stolen from Gennaro. Then at Nunzia's house she receives the unexpected visit of Luciana, who senses in Genny the smell of defeat in the ongoing war and decides to negotiate an agreement with them without the knowledge of the latter and her husband. She informs them of the latest moves of the Secondigliano boss, of the loan received from the entrepreneur for the new load, and for a large financial compensation she is willing to tell them her name too. The proposal is attractive to Ciro and Enzo, but they want all the names of the entrepreneurs with whom Genny collaborates. Azzurra is increasingly exasperated by the life she is leading because of her husband's war and Luciana manages to convince her, apparently, to side with her by making her reveal the names of all the entrepreneurs who are financing Genny. Sangueblù goes to the underground to exchange information with Luciana: the list of names for a total of one million euros. Once the deal is concluded, he returns to his car and first finds Ronni dead, having had his throat cut by a knife, then he is kidnapped in a van with the Maccauro brothers inside. Thanks to his wife, Genny discovers Luciana's attempted deception to his detriment. Finally face to face with Sangueblù, tied to a chair, he gets his revenge, after the forced murder that the former boss of Forcella imposed on him that night on the boat, marking the apparent death of Ciro Di Marzio. He tortures him with kicks, punches and blows with an iron bar. Sangueblù, dying, is thrown from a moving van in front of the Immortal's headquarters, who is informed of the accident just after a business dinner with Nunzia. Once Ciro arrives at the scene, after a farewell, he suffocates his friend with his hand to alleviate his suffering. The following day, Gennaro informs 'o Maestrale of the double-dealing orchestrated by his wife, forcing him to kill her. He then continues to receive income from his business partners. Ciro sheds bitter tears for the loss of his friend and pupil Sangueblù. On the night of his commemoration, he stipulates a blood pact with all of his men, including Donna Nunzia, the most faithful o' Pitbull and 'o Bellebuono, by now the only survivor of his old Forcella clan. | |||||||

In agreement with Nunzia, they send Carmelo to turn himself in before Ruggieri regarding the attempted murder, which then failed, of Azzurra and her little Pietro. Genny informs his wife of Luciana's death, but Azzurra questions him. The boss begins not to trust 'o Maestrale and sends 'o Munaciello to follow him, with discretion. Then, once the load has arrived, he dictates the economic policy to be adopted in the squares: half-price sales to counter the competition from the areas belonging to Ciro Di Marzio. The latter's plan to bury Genny proceeds quickly. An official of the juvenile court, escorted by two policemen, takes Pietro away from his school so that he can be entrusted to a family home, whose whereabouts are unknown. Genny and Azzurra receive an unfavorable verdict from the juvenile court and cannot review it until both their parental status and a safe and suitable environment where they can raise their child are verified. The lawyer warns them of the long wait, about a year to be able to get little Pietro back, and warns Azzurra on the meeting to be held with Ruggieri due to Carmelo's deposition, as a person informed of the facts. By law, Azzurra is obliged to appear before the magistrate alone, without her lawyer. On the day of the confrontation, Azzurra refuses to collaborate with Ruggeri, and when she returns home, together with her husband, she understands the trap hatched by the Immortal behind the misadventures linked to their son. Genny promises to fix the problem and at her request, to kill Ciro Di Marzio in front of her eyes. 'O Maestrale is ordered to kidnap the little Simone Ruggeri, son of the magistrate Walter, to then be locked up inside the Maccauro home. In the meantime, they discover that Don Angelo has spared his wife, thus disobeying the execution order wanted by Genny, and is keeping her hidden in a small shelter outside Secondigliano. Genny secretly negotiates with Ruggeri for the release of their respective children: the hiding place where Simone is imprisoned for the location of the family home where Pietro resides. The Immortal starts a war in his areas in the night to avenge Sangueblù. 'o Caicco, one of his zone bosses, throws a grenade at the place where the cocaine is distributed and starts the battle with no holds barred. 'O Maestrale, present to guard the area, kills 'o Caicco, but before he pulls the trigger, 'o Caicco is proud to die for the Immortal's cause, and realizes that the battle Genny is waging against Ciro is not so much a war of power or revenge, but a real crusade, against which one is destined to lose. Thus he understands why his wife wanted to take sides on the opposite side to that of Genny. | |||||||

Azzurra manages to lead her husband to Ciro by drugging him with a powerful sleeping pill in a glass of wine. Once recovered, Genny finds the Immortal again after the last time the two faced each other in Riga with the latter locked up in a gulag. Ciro dictates the conditions for the freedom of the boss and his family. Already aware for some time of the preparations for his escape, Ciro will lead Genny to the family home where he will be able to take his son back, and then escape, on condition that the boss declares defeat in front of their people. However, Nunzia arrives and takes her leave at the end of the meeting, bringing Azzurra as a guarantee to remind Ciro of the promise made previously, that is, the death of the Savastanos in front of her eyes. Genny declares defeat as agreed, in front of Ciro and their respective men. Then together with the latter they go by car to the family home, and during the journey, the two make a summary of their lives, their now faded ambitions but above all the turbulent relationships between them.

Ciro has the opportunity to be able to eliminate the whole Savastano family, but taken by a sense of guilt for having lost his family in the past, during the conflict with Don Pietro, he has second thoughts while holding them at gunpoint, and takes them on a boat to safety. However, Genny stays with him after Nunzia's men break into the beach where a bloody shootout ensues by the sea. 'O Pitbull and 'o Bellebuono are killed. After killing many of the attackers together, Genny is killed by a remaining one.
