Found sprawled along the bank of the Tiber River, everyone is certain that the young man committed suicide.

Sara is convinced that there is something “off” about the supposed suicide and persuades Valerio to embark on a personal investigation that will prove to be an obstacle course. Driven by grief and regret, this journey will prove an opportunity for Valerio to come to terms with his own misgivings as a man and as a father. This captivating Italian drama sees Valerio plunged back into the life he was running from after losing his job, wife and the affection of his only son Ettore (Luigi Fedele). Will Valerio discover the truth and finally forgive himself?

I don’t understand, having watched Redemption, which was great, why Ettore was murdered in the first place. The series was so good and the performance of Valerio so real that I actually missed the reason for the murder. Could you enlighten me please? Thank you.

OMG just finished Redemption and googled the same question, resulting in this page. Liked the show but the puzzle of the death of Ettore is so odd. May never know!

Join the club. More questions unanswered than answered. No idea why he was killed. Liked the actors but why no explanation? Script writer didn’t have one ?
