Season 1 • Episode 9
LatestThe mayor of Milan launches a referendum to demolish the new Palazzo del Potere, Adrian reveals his true identity to Marco and Johnny, while Dranghestein organizes a series of increasingly serious attacks, blaming Darian and his "terrorist network". The Head of Government, seized by scruples, decides to call Darian for help. The last and most serious of the attacks will take place in a primary school: together with the Head of Government, Darian and Johnny Silver save the children, but they die in the explosion. After the funeral, Dranghestein kidnaps Gilda and Marco and Johnny's girlfriends, but it turns out that Adrian did not die in the explosion and faces his nemesis in a duel to the death. After the victory, all the horrible skyscrapers built fall as if by magic and Italy reconstructs its life around beauty.
