It's stated in the closing narration that former Capone lieutenant Luigi Renaldo was imporisoned at Alcatraz. In real life, this would not have been the case because the government took special care to send former associates of Al Capone to other prisons.

Analysis |
| |
A shocking scene where a young child is run over by a car and Agent Youngfellow's undercover stint as a clown are the highlights of this Season One entry. The climactic scene where the Renaldo mob is rounded up is also well worth watching.
