And we're off and running with a new episode. This time Manara's sister shows up with a nickname for him he'd rather forget...

Manara has an interesting conversation with his boss, another, a bit embarrassing, with his colleagues, and still another (even more embarrassing) with Lara, which brings us to the end of this episode.

Dreams can become nightmares when we go too far.

Progress is being made on all fronts!

Luca finally gets to talk to Ridolfi, but the bank director is quite adept at dodging questions. Lara's aunt has been a bit more successful in getting information.

The "murderer" comes in for questioning, and Manara asks him some questions point-blank. Meanwhile Lara's aunt goes to the bank for a new ATM card (called Bancomat in Italian), and learns something interesting pertinent to the case.

Finally there's a bit of action.

A left-handed suspect turns up, and has a bad temper to boot. Luca offers Lara a ride home on his motorcycle...

Some left-handed patients have been found, and the questioning begins.

Luca, as usual, has a run-in with his boss about the case, and then has a run-in with the bank director whose answers are anything but helpful.

Federica remembers some "insignificant" details, and Lara discovers a highly significant detail.

Lara and Luca are trying to get more information about Bianciardi and about the girl who suffers from memory loss. On a romantic level, Lara isn't making things easy for Luca! It is interesting to notice that in Italian, the terms "Dottore" (abbr. Dott.) and Dottoressa (abbr. Dott.ssa) can also be used for people who have undergraduate degrees or no degree at all. They are used as a formal and obsequious title. It is difficult to find an equivalent in English and many people simplify the title by using Ms./Mrs./Miss. or using no term at all.

The case has just begun and we've already found the murderer. Too easy!

Here we go with an exciting new episode! There are both joys and sorrows in this first segment.

Episode 8 comes to a close as Sergio shows up with all the paperwork ready for the job "swap." All Luca has to do is sign!
