This is the first regular episode of "The Untouchables" and picks up right after the two-part pilot--with Al Capone being sent to prison. Now, with the big boss-man out of the way, there's a power vacuum. Surprisingly, although Frank Nitti was the nasty muscle-man, Jake Guzik (Nehemiah Persoff) sets himself up as THE power. Instead of trying to bully the others, he worked by getting everyone to cooperate as well as using his brilliance as a bookkeeper to hide the mob's wealth. So most of the show consists of Ness trying to separate Guzik from the mob. First, he tries to ONLY hit Nitti's locations--hoping to drive a wedge between the six mobsters in charge. When that doesn't work, she approaches Brandy La France-- the widow of the little guy ice picked to death in the pilot. What's next? See the show.
This episode was a great follow-up for the series and did a good job of getting the ball rolling. Well written, exciting and worth seeing.
