Underbelly: The Sorcerer's Apprentice Episode Two

Contains some spoilers. Do not read if you have only seen the first episode.

Last night's Underbelly focused on the fallout after the arrest of Alphonse Gangitano and Jason Moran, with Melbourne police detectives trying to put the dodgy pair in prison.

Jason's driver Carl Williams reveals that he drove Jason to the nightclub, for which he is slapped by Jason. However, witness intimidation means that the case is looking leaner than a veal calf.

Meanwhile, Carl is trying to build up his own criminal empire and steals Jason's wife's dog for a major amphetamine dealer to blackmail Jason with, in order to convince the dealer to teach him to make amphetamines.

Alphonse' affair with Jason's girlfriend is revealed by a gang member, leading to his murder by Jason, witnessed by a courting couple. The funeral takes place, with Alphonse's coffin born by the remaining members of his crime family, who wanted him dead to avoid police interest.

Great television, with menacing crooks and determined police as well as glamerous Australian location shots.

It would be nice if we saw more of the organised crime committed by the gangsters (as opposed to the disorganised crimes of rage).
