Storyline

Tommy can't resist Jenny's desperate plea to spare her dad's firm, which means he needs to replace the $13,000. Tommy and Kevin branch out from collecting debts to racketeering, and enlist Whitey's feared uncle Bob 'the Mouth', a monster they can't control. Kevin relapses in betting and loosing, a result of dad calling him 'Lucky' as young boy, and the brothers now need him to win back what they already lost. Sean rather lies to the priest than admit to his mother that he doesn't want to return to school. The gang baron heirs agree to restore the Italo-Irish modus vivendi. Written by KGF Vissers
