Épisode 1 - Jingle Bells
19 avril 2011
Tony is looking forward to a quiet Christmas at home, until he gets a text from work advising him that he's got a job. At the pub, which is "Ground Zero" for Tony and the rest of the crew, Darlene — Tony's connection to the criminal world — needs him to collect from a lowlife bum behind in his payments. Tony is shocked to discover the "bum" is his good friend Artie. Tony tries to calm Artie — he wants to help — but Artie panics and bolts... only to be run over by an ice cream truck playing "Jingle Bells". Artie dies and Tony is devastated... and left with a body to dispose of. Later, everyone at a gangland Christmas party thinks Tony intentionally killed Artie — and he's given kudos by gangland supremo, Barry. Barry asks Tony to play mentor to his wild-eyed son, Charlie. Desperately trying to keep all the pieces of his life separate, Tony reluctantly says "yes". As the first thread starts to fray, he returns to his "real" family and jumps fully clothed into his swimming pool, sinking to the bottom, quiet as the grave, in the throes of a fullblown melt down. Merry Christmas!

Ordering Charlie to stay back, Tony moves onto his next target, a sleazy porn dealer named Darren, only to again find he can't do the job. He's officially got the yips! To make things worse, Darren grabs Tony's taser and is about to use it when Charlie shoots him dead with a gun stolen from Gary. Meanwhile, Cathy meets Brent the new guy next door and they bond. He encourages her to follow her dreams. Mel is scathing and starts to wonder if her Mum is a sexually starved, alcoholic, pill popping repressed housewife. Tony decides to work solo — and tells Charlie. Tony is summoned to see Barry and is on a knife edge until Barry reveals Charlie's told him a fictitious version of the story that makes it seem like Tony encouraged Charlie to make his first kill — and Barry is thrilled.

The pendulum of power has swung from him to his dangerous apprentice.

She likes the fact that he's a bad boy. During yoga, Brent reassures Cathy about her situation — seeing her as a woman of real ability, brains and beauty, and Cathy finds herself drawn to him. Later, Tony and Cathy argue about Brent and Tony confronts their neighbour — only to find Brent has a partner, Jeremy. Cathy emerges to find Brent at the BBQ laughing and chatting with Tony, striking up a genuine friendship. Tony drags Cathy inside and makes love to her. Everything's seemingly back to normal.
