Good episode to kick off the 2nd season

This was a great episode to start the second season of this show. The episode was excellently paced and only stalled for a bit about 1/3 of the way into the show. Apart from that, it was great.

The whole concept of the mob and what they are capable of seems to be an over done motif of crime shows, but that doesn't mean this episode is any less interesting. I could actually feel the anxiety and nervousness of the characters knowing that the mob is breathing down their neck every single moment.

The episode ended in a cliff hanger, so I expect to see a follow up on this one.
