Based on the bestselling mystery novels by Maurizio de Giovanni, this RAI TV series recounts the story of a police station located on a hilltop district in Naples called Pizzofalcone, named for the falconry practiced there at one time. The police station had been involved in some very corrupt drug trafficking, and now the protagonist, Giuseppe Lojacono has been transferred there as a kind of punishment. He and his co-workers (all with troubled pasts) have the task of setting things right at the station before it closes down.

There's a press conference announcing the success of the investigation. Rather than singling out Lojacono and Aragona, Palma gives credit to his entire team, as well as to Dr. Piras.

After working on the case together, the members of the team go home to deal with their personal lives. Not everyone is enthusiastic about going out for pizza with the chief.

The pizza party ends up just being Palma and Ottavia who make the best of it. Palma would like them to be on a first-name basis, but he is Ottavia's boss and she has trouble with that. He talks about dare del tu, which means addressing someone informally instead of dare del Lei, which implies addressing someone formally. It can still mean using someone's first name, but the pronouns (and conjugations) change.
