Gennaro Savastano heads to Naples to warn Ciro ahead of time that there will be retribution for Don Pietro's murder. The Savastano paranza takes to the field in full force, giving rise to a veritable manhunt.
A year has passed. Genny has remained in Rome with his family and made a success of Don Avitabile's business while he is prison. Patrizia warns him that his father-in-law is about to return home and will look to punish those who set him up.
Ciro has rebuilt his life in Bulgaria and is the trusted right-hand man of a drug dealer called Valentin. The latter's son does not take kindly to the relationship he has established with his father and hatches a plan that will force Ciro to come to terms with his past.
Scianel is released from prison and Genny knows he must confront her to seek an agreement. Don Avitabile, who has discovered it was his son-in-law who set him up, prepares for the counter-attack by appealing to those closest to him.
Under Ciro's wing, Enzo and his companions make waves with a big score; Genny looks to get back on his feet with a new supplier. But Secondigliano is now besieged by the police, and a new dealing zone must be found…
Genny is back in a strong position thanks to the success of his new drug ventures. Ciro and Genny meet with Branka, a Milanese business partner, to buy new drugs.
Enzo launches new operations in Naples with Ciro's help. However, the traffic does not go unnoticed by the city's existing bosses.
Enzo and his crew are under attack, but Ciro advises caution before retaliating. Genny approaches Scianel to help finance his own war, but to get what he wants he must promise something in return.
Ciro talks to O'Stregone about a ceasefire, but it doesn't come without a quid pro quo. Enzo and his men are finally free to celebrate their success. The joy, however, is short-lived.
In an unwinnable position, Genny sends Patrizia to agree terms of surrender to the Confederati, while he and Ciro go to Enzo, hoping he will listen to reason.
With Azzurra and Pietrino in the crosshairs of the Confederati, Genny risks losing everything with a plan that could easily misfire.
Ciro, Genny and Enzo make peace with the Confederati, obtaining for themselves part of the territories in the centre of Naples. But peace achieved with blood carries only more blood.
