Small Time Gangster

The Yips (1x2)

Air date: Apr 19, 2011

Still distracted by visions of Artie's bloody demise, Tony struggles to make love to Cathy. He meets Charlie, his new apprentice, to show him the ropes. Tony needs to tool up at Gary the Gunsmith's shop and Charlie is thrilled by the hardware. 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. Charlie will be Tony's apprentice! Tony comes home and is stunned to find Charlie at his house — with his family, flirting with his daughter. The pendulum of power has swung from him to his dangerous apprentice.
