Nero a metà

Alba, her sister Alice and Federico arrive at the scene where Clara's lifeless body was found; Malik, who begins to suspect the boy, decides to investigate him. In the meantime, a young man with obvious signs of beating shows up at the police station but dies in Bragadin's arms before he can file a complaint. The investigations into the body of Pugliani's accomplice, Calzola, lead to a mysterious safety deposit box.

Meanwhile Carlo, who now knows that Suleyman had a daughter, has put Ottavia on his trail: after a series of flops, a boy leaves her a strange object resting on the scooter. Spartaco and Ottavia discover that Pugliani uses children as "mules" to transport drugs.

A young journalist is found dead under his house, just as he was investigating a ring of clandestinely organized brawls that had left a boy in a coma. While Spartaco locates the warehouse where Pugliani's men sort the pink cocaine and prepare the doses for dealing, Carlo finally manages to get in touch with Maryam, Suleyman's daughter, and takes her to safety in a family home. But it remains to be discovered where they are hiding all the other children.

Federico has disappeared after suspicions of complicity between him and Pugliani have intensified, but Carlo fears that Alba is in danger, so he asks her to stay at home, guarded by Lisi. It won't be enough and when things get worse, Malik struggles to remain lucid about Alba's fate. While Carlo is busy trying to track down Maryam's mother, the little girl runs away from the family home after learning that her father is dead. Carlo promises to find her and the other kids before the drug criminals hide them or marry them off elsewhere.
