Good and Evil
After the mafia killed his family, and a number of people who trusted him, Cattani sees a couple of criminals condemned to light sentences only.

Solace comes in the form of new affections for a banker's daughters, who look like his lost wife and daughter.

Read MoreMassacre
Anna Antinari gets hold of documents that are essential for the arms deal, and trusts her life and that of her child daughter Greta to the good monks who were already hosting Cattani. For the mafia in liaison with a member of parliament, monastery walls are no protection against a new massacre.

Saverio's ascension to power seems unstoppable: he masters over Nuzzio with his superior intelligence, and helps him escape an ambush; the Barrotti gang is massacred by Nuzzio's men; and he breaks and enters into the countess's palace, frightening her, and demanding the names list.
