The script repeats itself but this time the ending is different: a man's voice tells a 73-year-old that his son has been arrested. To free him, money is needed, in cash and immediately. A representative would have come to collect the sum, directly at home.

The 73-year-old is well aware of the tricks of the fraudsters, his neighbor is a policeman and also his nephew. He knocks on his door and tells him everything. The soldier is off duty but knows what to do: he dials 112 and alerts the Marigliano police.

The appointment with the "benefactor" is already set and all that remains is to wait. At the 73-year-old's door, a young man appears, just over twenty, the elderly man opens, plays along, pretends to re-listen worriedly to the story of the son in handcuffs: he buys time. The soldier is silent and meanwhile his colleagues from the Marigliano station are already in position. Salvatore Papa realizes he's in trouble only when it's too late.

For the 24-year-old from the San Ferdinando district of Naples, handcuffs are applied even before he gets his hands on the banknotes. He will have to answer for aggravated fraud and is now in a security room, awaiting judgment.
