The road events at night that placed Corrado in the first real danger and forced him to use the gun lead him to find and arrest some drug dealers of the town. In the memorable scene, they enter the port and find drugs amongst the frozen food products. Indeed, it is not time for him to punish bankers and criminals of higher rank but show their effective means on less serious cases of law violation. Nevertheless, it does not mean that the 'big fish' do not observe him more carefully. He becomes more and more famous in town and soon labeled an 'incorrect moralist.'
The episode becomes more focused on the plot. We get to know Corrado Cattani as a man of contradictions, a man whose marriage is going and whose job occupies most of his time. Yet, a very dedicated cop whose safety appears to be in jeopardy. Still, a loving father who finds a way to the heart of his teenage daughter, Paola. Finally, a lover of the young countess, a drug addict Titti. But behind all of the crimes and the outrageous plans of the villains, there lies a psychological factor behind it all: boredom. The wealthy and healthy simply do not know how to deal with it...
The relation between Corrado and Altero (played by Renato Mori) in their mutual goals becomes more emphasized. Although there are certain doubts whether Altero's intentions were that transparent at the murder of Marineo (episode 1), they become 'brothers in arms' against mafia. There is a memorable scene when Corrado tells Altero how it all happened with Marineo and countess Pecci Scialoia and the flashback with the camera positioned higher. We see the scene as if from the 'bird's view' which enhances the emotional perception.
The Sicilian television led by Nanni Santamaria (Pino Colizzi), the lover of Corrado's wife Else (Nicole Jamet) is interested in Mr Cattani more and more and invites him to a debate. The plan is to organize the debate with the VIPs of the island - namely avvocado Terrasini, banker Ravanusa, baroness Olga Camastra. What a moment as they prepare and cannot decide what to wear. Ravanusa, who openly states that boredom drives him mad, has a dilemma what kind of tie to put on, Olga chooses between plenty of necklaces while Terrasini is furious about his servant who chooses the wrong colour of the shoes for him. What a mess! Yet, soon it appears that it was not the television they were preparing for but a concert. How much they understand of the music is another story but it sounds more elegant to spend a Sunday afternoon at the concert than some television debating with a little commissar. The only person who appears but only applauds Corrado Cattani is lady Camastra....oh, that is tricky! The man had better be on his guard.
Meanwhile, the relationship between Corrado and Elsa is worsening. Paola no longer seems to be a sort of bridge between them but the moment she does not leave for Milan with her mother brings on some better moments of the girl and her father. They swim in the sea, they talk more, they have some little more time for each other. Unfortunately, not for long...
Not only the depressing and stressful job stands in the way to Corrado's personal relief but the young countess who leaves the home of Don Manfredo from time to time and invites Corrado to her mansion. This time, the reason is not merely investigations and questions about Marineo and Pecci Scialoia's deaths... Both Corrado and Elsa find someone else in their lives and both have the courage to admit it. Yet, both show totally different reactions...
Will they survive? Can Comissario keep calm when the storms around seem to roar more and more? With the third episode, the series becomes truly involving and there is no way to stop watching... Highly recommended!
