S7·E9 The Long Goodbye / A Case of Conscience

Nina is operated on after the terrible fall from the terrace of the building where she was hiding. Marcello, his wife Cristina, Matteo and all the agents of the X Tuscolano are close to the brave girl who dared to challenge her father and the clan he heads. In the meantime Corradi and the guard agent, Martino, are interrogated at the precinct by Benvenuto: the two claim that Nina, depressed by the long limitation of her freedom, attempted suicide.

The agents of the X Tuscolano deal with the attempted suicide of Milena, a ten-year-old Ukrainian girl temporarily fostered by an Italian couple who adore her. The judge, however, is adamant and orders that the little girl return to her hometown immediately, despite Milena's claims that they mistreat her in the orphanage. The story takes a dramatic turn as Fontana's lucidity is put to the test by a man who wants to force his partner to keep the child she is expecting, going so far as to commit a sensational act.
