The man, after the discovery of his daughter's body, shoots his son-in-law killing him under the eyes of the marshal.

In the farmhouse of a former soldier, the skeleton of a soldier is found, killed because he wanted to report episodes of hazing. Another person responsible for the murder tries to drown his wife, at the time the victim's partner, who has discovered everything; Rocca saves her in extremis, but her husband takes the children of a nursery school hostage, also attended by Tommy, the marshal's adopted son. The courageous intervention of the child's natural father allows the criminal to be captured by the police.

A ruthless gang of Albanians kills the wife and daughter of Vinas, their compatriot and protected by the police. This takes revenge by killing himself, but also finding death. Cafiero, boss of the organisation, judging Rocca too dangerous for the clan, implements a plan to eliminate him: the car in which he was supposed to leave with Tommy and Margherita for their long-awaited honeymoon is blown up. Under the eyes of the marshal, who was saved only by chance together with his little son, his beloved wife dies.

After the depression following Margherita's death, marshal Rocca decides to put his uniform back on, with the intention of tracing the gang that murdered her; however, the anxiety of capturing them induces him to believe in false indications, which cost him his suspension from service. Determined to go it alone, he goes to Puglia, where the gang has a hideout, but Cacciapuoti alerts the police and the gang is routed. Rocca is seriously injured in the operation, but little Tommy will give him the strength to heal and, once reinstated in service, to receive a solemn commendation for the work done.

Margherita has been dead for three years now when Rocca meets Francesca, Tommy's teacher and daughter of one of his former superiors. The marshal investigates the death of the owner of a textile company in which children were exploited as workers; at first the father of one of these children accuses himself of the murder, but Rocca discovers that the real culprit is instead the son of the victim. The episode ends with the marriage between Daniela and Marco: a carabiniere and a policeman will live together!

The Marziales are an important family from Viterbo and in the garden of their villa a retired friend of Rocca's body is found, whose wife had died suspiciously, hit by a pirated car.

A transvestite is the only witness to the murder of a man, found dead in a car outside a bowling alley. Even the waitress of the restaurant is later killed and suspicions seem to fall on her husband, but Marshal Rocca does not believe this is the case. In fact, the guardian of the restaurant is the real culprit, a murderer to avenge the death of his son.

A girl is found stabbed dead; she was staying in a Roman hotel. Rocca investigates her past and discovers that she had been kidnapped when she was ten years old: her parents, left broke following her payment, kill themselves. It is the kidnapper (owner of the hotel), whom the girl had recognized from a tattoo and who was following in her footsteps, who killed her. Francesca will figure out who it is from her tattoo and be saved by Rocca when the innkeeper tries to kill her.

A young pediatrician dies after drinking coffee in which a substance to which he was allergic was dissolved. Whoever killed him is not the father of a little dead patient, as it seems at first, but his nurse, in love with the doctor and unrequited. The woman had turned to a magician, later found lifeless in her home, to give her lover a love potion. Meanwhile, Francesca meets a man and informs Rocca that she intends to marry him.

Rocca is grappling with a series of crimes, which lead Mannino to think they are the work of a serial killer, who shoots a rifle belonging to a stolen batch of weapons. One of the victims is the perpetrator of the theft, Luca; the boy, together with a friend who worked at the gun shop, had planned to sell the rifles clandestinely. It is Rocca who discovers that the person responsible for the crimes is Luca's adoptive father, suffering from an incurable disease that made him lose his mind and led him to believe that his stepson had committed matricide. During the capture, the madman shoots the marshal who is saved thanks to his bulletproof vest.

Marshal Rocca tries to find the culprit of the murder of the parish priest of Santa Brigida, his friend, found killed in the same church.

A waitress, his former lover, is suspected of the murder of Michele Bono, found dead in a hotel. However, the subsequent death of a former police inspector leads Rocca to expose a gambling ring in the hotel. The assassin turns out to be the stepdaughter of Bono, her lover, whom she had killed with the motive of jealousy.

Marco is accused of ill-treatment and rape by an informant. Marshal Rocca is furious with his son-in-law for his daughter's betrayal, but he does not believe that Marco could have been capable of violence. He will later discover that the real culprits are the coach and attorney of a cyclist who fell into a coma due to the use of doping: the two had forced the girl to use Marco to sidetrack the investigation.

Father and son, managers of a fish market, are at odds with a mafia family because of the gambling debts incurred by their father.

Marshal Rocca investigates the murder of an art collector, murdered in his home during a robbery.

Rocca is faced with a case that seems to have to do with a satanic ritual. The discovery of a note inside a dead kitten with the inscription "Male returns healed" and, shortly after, the killing of a girl named Marisa, lead the Marshal to suspect a connection with the case of Professor Aleppi, of which he had occupied seven years earlier.
