After being discharged from the hospital, Pisanelli goes to the pharmacy to get the medicine prescribed by the doctor. The pharmacist had noticed that he hadn't been seen for a while and updates him on something he already knew.

The atmosphere at the police station is gloomy as the end of the year approaches and the closure of Pizzofalcone is imminent. Lojacono and Di Nardo are out investigating a theft case in an apartment.

Lojacono and Di Nardo gather information from the couple who were robbed. When they leave the apartment, they agree that there are some strange things. At the police station, Aragona goes to talk to Romano.

The police station receives a phone call about a child's disappearance during a school trip with the nuns. Aragona and Romano rush to the scene of the disappearance to understand how things happened.

At the police station, they try to understand how the museum's cameras were positioned and what connections Edoardo had at the time of his disappearance. Meanwhile, the child's mother arrives, appearing quite agitated.

Giuseppe is shaken by the case he is following about the child who disappeared at the museum. He can't even eat but confides a little in Letizia. At the police station, the investigation continues with the viewing of camera recordings.

Dodo's mother and her new partner try to identify from the video who the hooded boy who made the child leave could be. While they search for the boy, Dodo's father is also questioned.

After asking Dodo's father some questions, Palma and Lojacono advise him to be cooperative for the sake of the investigation and the child. Meanwhile, it was also discovered that the gardener left for a course outside the city.

At the police station, everyone is busy listening to the phone interception of Borrelli's line. Someone with a foreign accent says they have Dodo. At this point, it's a kidnapping and there are actions to be taken.

Palma and Lojacono have summoned Mauro Carullo to ask him a couple of questions. The young man provides an alibi that is quickly confirmed. At the Borrelli's house, there is tension while attempting to recognize the voice from the phone call.

Lojacono and Aragona go to talk with Dodo's grandfather, Mr. Borrelli, who immediately proves to be arrogant. Alex tells his parents that he has found a rental house but they don't take it well.

Pisanello returns home after being hospitalized but still can't stop thinking about Musella's death, which was filed as suicide. Alex, after the argument with his father, takes refuge at Rosaria's place.

Twenty-four hours after the first phone call, there is still no news about the kidnapped child. To avoid sitting idle, Giuseppe and Alex meet with Mrs. Parascandolo to learn more about the theft.

The kidnappers demanded a very high ransom and the police decided to summon all the child's close relatives to ensure no one takes independent action. The situation is definitely heating up.

Fingerprints left in the apartment have finally been identified at the Parascandolo house. Di Nardo and Lojacono quickly show up at Mrs. Parascandolo's, who doesn't deny it and proposes a deal to the officers.
