Clara, Carlo's first wife, disappears the day he leaves prison to go under house arrest at her daughter Alba's house. It is soon discovered that she has left in a car. Alba thinks it was a kidnapping, while Carlo is convinced that she has fled voluntarily. In the meantime, Bruno and Alice, Clara's second family, arrive in Rome from Geneva and Alice recognizes the man who took Clara away: she saw him talking to her mother two years earlier.

The case of Clara's disappearance becomes increasingly intricate and mysterious and Carlo is unable to find answers. Even when Bragadin finds photos of a woman with a suitcase on Clara's computer, taken secretly by her at Termini station, everything ends in a flop.

A priest, Don Fabio, is killed in the street by a gunshot. The priest was not loved in the neighborhood because of the center for ex-convicts he was responsible for, but the motive does not appear sufficient and the dynamics of the death are unclear. In parallel, the investigation into Clara's disappearance continues and from the nameless corpse of a dancer who seems to have had contact with her, Carlo and Malik trace it back to the Nite Owl, a club that seems to be the epicenter of pink cocaine dealing.
