Story

A delivery man arrives at the door of celebrated television writer Carlo Monterossi with a gun in his hand and a deadly confession behind him.

Their investigation draws them toward two professional hitmen and a pair of Roma characters connected to the attack, opening a dangerous trail filled with concealed motives and unanswered questions.

Carlo's search begins as an attempt to understand why he was targeted, then grows more hazardous as the people around him reveal unexpected links to the case. The episode balances menace with dry humor, following an amateur investigator whose instincts repeatedly pull him deeper into a world he was never prepared to enter.
