The Special Forces raid the bunker of mob boss Molocco, but they find him on the floor covered in blood. In the kitchen, a statuette of the Virgin Mary is weeping blood. Prime Minister Pietromarchi is taken to a disused swimming pool where General Votta shows him the statuette: it’s weeping human blood, nine liters per hour; a miracle defying any law of physics. Police hematologist Sandra secretly takes a sample, the plasma of which she administers to her mother, who’s in a coma. On the other side of town, Father Marcello, a priest of the suburbs, squanders money gambling and going with sex workers.

At the First Holy Communion party of Beatrice, the daughter of mob boss Molocco, a tragedy occurs. In Rome meanwhile, Sole – the Prime Minister’s wife – is having trouble managing her kids; Sandra continues her investigations trying to understand the effects the plasma has had on her mother, but the woman is still in a coma.. The Prime Minister meets Father Marcello, whom he knows from years back. “Miracles are for those who don’t believe, or who are losing their faith,” the priest tells him.

The First Duty of Living

The family of Nicolino, the child who was playing with the boss’s daughter, is banished, even if the boy’s father Salvo is one of the boss’s henchmen. Meanwhile, Votta goes to question the boss in prison, but finds him dead. For this reason, the General asks Sandra to send the blood to a state-of-the-art laboratory in Phoenix. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister and the priest meet again: “It really is a miracle,” Marcello tells him, “and if the Holy Virgin has appeared, there must be a reason.”

Molocco asks Salvo to kill his own son, Nicolino: the only way to make up for the mistake. Meanwhile, the Madonna is still crying and Sole slaps her son in the middle of a shopping mall. The video soon goes viral. Marcello’s life is turned upside down too: just when he believes he has seen the Holy Virgin in a dream, he learns he has been suspended from the priesthood. A text message informs Sandra that the gene mapping is ready on the statue’s blood.

The Prime Minister, stressed out due to a constant loss of political consensus, wants his wife to apologize publicly for slapping her son. She accepts, but sacks her children’s nanny out of revenge, causing great pain to her daughter. Against Sandra’s opinion, the Madonna is frozen and hence stops weeping, whilst Votta’s investigations turn to the sanctuary of Barbana, where it seems the statuette of the Virgin was bought. Meanwhile, the database associates the identikit to a name: Amin Tarek.

The Princess of Swimming Pools

Amin Tarek recruits two laborers in the street, but dies in an accident before the eyes of her boyfriend, Hassan. Back in Rome, the Prime Minister begins to have the same strange visions as Sole and Marcello. Sole’s mother, Ginevra, takes the kids out of town so that their mother can be interviewed. During a stop on the road, Alma convinces Carlo to steal a small glowing cube, but Alma throws the cube into the pool. In the meantime, Sandra has flown to Belgium to find Amin.

Salvo is told by the mob boss to kill his son. After the pool incident, Carlo is in a bad place and Sole is overwhelmed by guilt. At the rehabilitation center, Marcello receives a visit by Clelia, who suggests he escape. Fabrizio prays to the Holy Virgin to save his son. After tests, it is found that Amin’s blood doesn’t match with that of the Madonna. The statue is returned to its pedestal and starts weeping again.

Carlo is dead and the Prime Minister’s house is besieged by journalists. Alma runs out and shouts to the cameras that it is her fault if Carlo is dead. Marcello has promised Clelia that he will go into treatment in Switzerland, but instead he finds a gun and goes to the abandoned swimming pool to look for the Madonna. What will happen to this miraculous statue?
