Sicily, 1958: Editor-in-chief Nicastro wants to turn the communist "L'Ora" into a "real" newspaper. Journalist Domenico tries to solve the disappearance of a union leader.

Editor-in-chief Nicastro wants to confront Dr. Navarra. The Prince advises him to finally write what no one dares to say aloud: the mafia is behind the crimes.

Journalists from L'Ora witness the beating by the Carabinieri at a peaceful trade union demonstration. The union leader Monteleone takes refuge in the editorial office.

Editor-in-chief Nicastro carries on research on the mafia. Domenico searches for union leader Perrotta in Corleone and finds his body.

Domenico and Nic try to photograph Perrotta's body. Meanwhile, Salvo and Enza sneak into the supposed medical congress and end up at a mob meeting.

L'Ora' has published a photo of Perrotta's body. This is not without consequences: the city terminates all advertising contracts. Nic, Rampulla and Grisanti chase Luciano 'Lucky' Liggio.

Surprisingly, Navarra accepts an interview. Editor-in-chief Nicastro tries to corner him, but Navarre has a completely different goal

The newspaper is running out of paper. Salvo has an idea: an agreement with pinball machine manufacturers should save production. Dominic makes a terrible discovery.

After Domenico's death, his colleagues remain paralysed. But he shouldn't have given his life in vain. The editors try to further fuel the war between Liggio and Navarre.
