The situation, as Gomorrah has often accustomed us to, soon overturns and Ciro’s intentions to make Genny pay by killing in front of his eyes Azzurra and Pietrino collapse in front of his true nature. The desperation of the two parents who beg him to spare their son touches the heartstrings of the Immortal, who, even if ruthless, could never do what in the second season is done to his daughter (killed by Malammore by order of Pietro Savastano to avenge the murder of his beloved Donna Imma): “This is the difference between you and me”, says Ciro to Genny“ and I wanted you to understand it, that you can continue to smell your son’s flesh”.

And he accompanies them to the boat that will take them away from Naples and their past. But this dream will come true only for Azzurra and Pietrino: shots in the distance break the hope of that future together with Genny. Savastano in fact leaves his wife and son and remains with Ciro to face the shooting against Nunzia’s henchmen, betrayed by Ciro and killed in an ambush: “You were right, Azzurra! The only person you need to protect yourself from is me! You were right! “. These are the last words that Genny addresses to his wife as she walks away from that violent life forever.
