Detective Lojacono is transferred to a police station that is considered to be the worst of the worst. Judging from his first encounter there, it seems he has his work cut out for him.

Detective Lojacono meets his team and learns why they talk about the "bastards." He also learns what the future holds for the police station.

Special agent Aragona read the files on all his colleagues and relates his findings to Lojacono. And we find out what Lojacono did, too. We also discover where he has his meals.

At the police station, Lojacono takes a phone call about a homicide. The team has been instructed expressly not to take on anything other than ordinary business. This is decidedly not ordinary business, but Lojacono is no ordinary policeman, apparently.

Lojacono has a careful look at the corpse and the surrounding area and draws some conclusions. His superior shows up and naturally wants to put Lojacono in his place, sending him right back to the station house, with the district attorney looking on.

Commissioner Palma is quite angry with Lojacono for disobeying his express orders not to handle any homicides. Meanwhile, a call comes in from a peculiar old lady and two agents go to check out her story.

Di Nardo and Romano decide to check out the apartment across the street, without much hope of success. That evening, there is news on TV about the murder and both Lojacono and the district attorney tune in from their respective apartments.

The DA has asked Lojacono to meet her for coffee. They joust a bit, but the DA has seniority and gets some answers from him.

The "burglary gone wrong" is in the news and is not reflecting well on the city of Naples. The commissioner has summoned Palma and Lojacono to talk about this and makes a surprising decision.

Lojacono, Aragona, and DA Piras go back to the crime scene to have a better look at the victim's collection of glass balls. The DA and Lojacono exchange ideas about the murder, but then he and Aragona have to go back to the station house.
