Some years later, in the 1970s, Ice is released from prison and joins up with Lebanese, who tells him he has come up with a plan to kidnap and hold to ransom Baron Rossellini, a wealthy aristocrat for whom Lebanese's parents worked.

After negotiating the ransom of 3 billion lire, the Baron is shot by one of the Cannizzari brothers who have been entrusted by Lebanese to guard him. Nonetheless, they take a picture of the dead man with a newspaper and get the 3 billion lire. However, the local Police Commissioner Nicola Scialoja manages to record the serial numbers of the ransom money before the gang receives it, setting out to capture the gang. As the gang divide up the money, Lebanese proposes to split 500 million lire between them, and use the remaining 2.5 billion to build a foothold in the criminal underworld of Rome, starting with drug dealing.

Hungarian Summary:

A "Libanoniként" ismert bűnöző nagy álma, hogy legyőzze Róma alvilágát. E példanélküli terve kivitelezése érdekében létrehoz egy kegyetlen és nagyon jól szervezett bandát. A társaság terjeszkedése és vezetőinek változása - a "Libanonit" barátai, Freddo és Dandy követik - több mint 25 éven át, az 1970-es évektől egészen a '90-es évekig tart és elkerülhetetlenül összefonódik a modern Olaszország történelmével - a terrorizmussal, emberrablásokkal és a legmagasabb kormánykörökig gyűrűző korrupcióval. Mindezen évek alatt Scialoia rendőrhadnagy szorosan a banda nyomába szegül, hogy az igazságszolgáltatás kezére adja őket, de emellett meg akarja nyerni Dandy barátnője, Patrizia szívét is.
