Episode synopsis
Naples, Italy, is viewed by many as the birth place of organized crime. Lou heads back to his own mother country on a mission to infiltrate one of the oldest, toughest and most opaque mafias of them all: the Camorra. At least 300 years old, the Camorra was reputedly built on tenets of respect, honor, and straight business, and yet these days it thrives on chaos. The police estimate that the drugs trade in the Secondigliano area of Naples alone nets Camorra gangsters over a billion Euros a year. Lou arrives in Naples in the midst of a violent inter-clan war, which rages throughout the extended region of Campagnia and discovers that for a new generation of Camorra bosses there is no honour amongst thieves.
