Details: Product Description • The fight that the National Security won over Scarfo was only a fleeting triumph. The fight against organized crime is constantly starting over and it is all the more complex as new players, such as bikers, complicate the game. A new battle begins, taking as its terrain the hectic world of rock music. Omertà- Season 2 is a foray into the world of the mafia, which also allows us to follow police officers totally devoted to their work and determined to close the case only once their mission has been accomplished.> Gilbert Tanguay, the director of the anti-crime squad, hires two men to catch the head of Montreal's Mafia, Giuseppe Scarfo. One, Pierre Gauthier, leads the investigation, and the other, François Pelletier, goes deep undercover. Amazon.ca Aiming to share with us the underside of the fight against organized crime, the first season of Omerta, the law of silence broadcast on television in 1996, created a more than deserved enthusiasm. The following year, the second season, now available on DVD, continued the excellent work of the series. Although rid of Scarfo, its first sworn enemy, the National Security squad still has a lot to do with the Montreal Mafia. New leader, new alliances, new methods, the investigators are overwhelmed. Especially since one of their double agents, infiltrated in the entourage of rock star Rick Bonnard, has just been murdered. Still scripted by Luc Dionne (Tag, The Last Chapter) and directed by Pierre Houle (Monica la mitraille), Omerta 2, the law of silence succeeds in the difficult exercise of the sequel. The more complex plot, the deeper characters, the more twists and turns and the more bitter atmosphere, all combine to make the 14 episodes perfectly catchy. Especially since alongside the always impeccable Michel Côté, Luc Picard, Michel Dumont, Sophie Lorrain are added new characters made credible, among others, by the interpretations of David La Haye and Marc Messier. Dark, violent, dynamic, the series is undoubtedly an important moment in the history of Quebec television. – Helen Faradji.
