Sister Helga and Moscati give the patient a bath and talk about how medicine is nothing without love. Moscati has some unorthodox teaching methods, as well as some novel "therapy" for his patients.

After being left by the taxi driver, Giuseppe goes in search of the Esposito home. The taxi driver was right about the danger. Meanwhile, Giorgio shows up at the dinner and greets Elena and her father.

As her condition worsens, Cloe tells Giuseppe about the child she had abandoned, and makes him promise to find him.

When Moscati arrives home, he has a huge surprise waiting for him: an endless stream of poor people. At the hospital, Sister Helga catches Arcangelo with a nurse and is furious.

Arcangelo and Sister Helga don't like each other much, but they have to work together to save the patient. At home, at lunch, Giuseppe has a strange feeling and rushes off.

Elena goes to see Giuseppe together with little Antonio. She notices right away that the apartment is empty. At the hospital, one of Mussolini's federal agents is visiting and gives Moscati some troubling news.

In World War I, Italians who up until then had spoken their regional dialects, found themselves fighting side by side against a common enemy. But Mussolini was interested in fighting the internal enemy.

The nineteen twenties ushered in sound in cinema. Italy's L.U.C.E. [L'Unione Cinematografica Educativa or Educational Film Union] was founded in 1924 and generated the fascist regime's cinematic propaganda.

Soon after the introduction of talkies, dubbing came about in the thirties. Dubbing was extremely popular in Italy and remains so today.

Schools in fascist Italy banned the study of dialects and moved to using standardized textbooks. The fascist hymn “Viva Adua nostra” refers to a battle won by the Kingdom of Italy in 1896 near Adwa, Ethiopia.

This segment opens with a sort of poem, demonstrating how kids growing up in fascist Italy were expected to behave. Minority groups had a pretty hard time, too.

Mussolini inveighs against the middle class, saying that it is the enemy of fascism. Much of the footage in this segment features EUR, the Rome district that was built in the 30s and 40s.

The segment looks at the Royal Academy of Italy's dictionary of Italian, which was filled with quotes from Mussolini. By the end of World War II, the dictionary had gotten to the letter “C.”

After the war came TV. It changed everything, and provided a new way to unify the Italian language and teach people reading and writing.

The narrator goes over the vanishingly small number of expressions coined during Mussolini's time that are still in use today. The song that gives the series its name is provided in full.
