The local crime drama was watched by 1.01 million metro viewers, according to preliminary overnight figures from OzTam. The latest instalment in the Underbelly series has attracted around a million viewers the past few weeks. It premiered mid-August with 1.78 million people tuned in.
Two segments of Big Brother drew 1.00 million and 961,000 viewers as the reality series continues to meet expectations for Nine.

Don't Tell the Bride was similarly down to 483,000 viewers from last week's 515,000. The return of Hawaii Five-O to the schedule failed to fire as the US series drew in 273,000 viewers.
