- Did you look him in the eye?
- I did.
What did you see?
[laughs]
He's no clown.
[Gina] How has it taken you
this long to realize
Ireland is a different country?
When are you gonna tell me
what this is about?
You mean, what's the reason
for your quest?
[Harry] Kevin and Conrad are
on the brink of civil war.
This family is
in a death spiral.
Why was Finch
at the yard on his own?
[Harry] Kavanagh's taken
your knees out, mate.
Information runs this world,
and you're no longer
welcome to it.
Please. [shouts]
I know you love me,
but it's not enough.
Let me take you to lunch.
[Jan moaning]
[Jan]
You, Harry, are not enough.
Anyone calls you,
you call that number,
tell the person on the other end
exactly what was said,
- word for word.
- [Harry] You're in with Kat now.
[Harry] That's good for us.
We'll use that.
I am going up to town.
Bully for you. Why?
[Conrad]
Business.
You want a war, Cooper?
[grunting]
I'll give you a fucking war!

[pathologist]
Found this morning by a jogger.
Classic hangman's fracture.
C2, C3 dislocation,
snapped clean.
Show me the pictures.
Do you see many of these?
[pathologist] Two or three
a year in the forest.
Where's the knot, typically?
Round the back.
Or the side, left or right.
- Depending on?
- Which hand you favor.
Left side, right-handed.
Right side, left.
So you can pull it tight.
Like here, on the left.
Finch was left-handed.
If I'm Finch, I don't lie down
with the Harrigans
without a cast-iron
exit strategy.
That wasn't panic.
That was theatre.
[tense music ♪]
I saw you working
all night in the barn there.
- Did your man sing?
- [Conrad chuckles]
Like a fucking Spice Girl.
I know Frankie's hat size,
his shoe size and his cock size.
Intelligence. It's the key
component to any war.
And now Harry's here
to bring us all together.
Peace in our time,
hands across the divide.
Oh, who the fuck
does he think he is?
Bob fucking Geldof?
Harry knows his place.
He's a good soldier.
Don't forget
who the generals are
and who's the cannon fodder.
- Ah.
- And don't go getting all gooey
- over Kevin.
- Yeah.
He made you look like
a right cunt over that
Bazooka, K-Kabuki,
whatever his name was.
His name's fucking Gakbu.
Jan, it's me. Listen, um
I really need to talk to you.
Can you please
call me back urgently?
[phone buzzing]
- Zosh?
- [Zosia] Kavanagh,
- two blokes and a woman.
- [phone chimes]
Uh, Iqbal Khan, Michael Atkins.
No fucking idea.
Kavanagh, Khan, Atkins.
Can you get a name for the girl?
On it.

That is so kind of you.
And how's your own family,
by the way?
You know, Gina and Jan?
Saved a little bit of fairy dust
for them, have you?
Where are they, by the way?
Are they here?
Are they hiding somewhere?
[chuckles]
- No, they're not here.
- [chuckles] Well,
let's hope they're safe.
And for the record,

Good morning, Sneem.
Top of the morning to you.

The weather, as always,

Look at this big boy.

Harry. [chuckles]
Welcome back.
Breaking news:
our friend Frankie's down
a whole stack of munchkins.
You should have
been there, Harry.
You should've seen
the look on Paul's face.
The poor fucker thought
we were stopping for chips.
Yeah, Paul filled us in
on the basics.
He said it was, um
somewhat impromptu.
Strike hard, circle the wagons.
[chuckles]
Sharpen the cutlass.
Bluff the bunderbluss.
Did you clock choppers
out there on the lawn?
If that doesn't make your tassel
go straight, nothing will.
I looked out the window
and I thought,
"Jesus, I'm in the Alamo."
The man in the barn
JoJo. Working for Frankie
since he was 14.
Staunch.
Loyal. Tickle his tum
and he spilled the lot.
He's dead.
He's what?
He's dead.
Oh, the fucker.
- Silly ponce.
- Mm.
And we was just getting
acquainted. [scoffs]
Do you know what happened
at the Alamo?
[laughs]
Kevin. I didn't
see you there, my boy.
It's so grand to have you
back in the house.
My house. [chuckles]
All that stuff that got said,
it's all just water
under the bridge now.
Water under the bridge.
Let's shake hands
and go up the lane, now,
shall we?
Yeah, yeah,
we'll get to all that.
[tense music ♪]
Okay, um, just to lend
some perspective here,
w-we are all aware
of what's going on, yeah?
And we also know that there is
a lot at stake, so
to that end, I'm not sure
the best place to start
is with a pissing contest
about the fucking Alamo.
The Alamo was an ambush
in which a small band of Texans
were completely wiped out
by the Mexican Army.
Now I suggest we just get
our cocks out and we'll see
- which one's the biggest.
- [Conrad laughs]
Oh, yeah, that's good.
Shall we do that Kevin, now?
Shall I go first? Hmm?
Or shall we ask Bella?
I'm sorry, Conrad.
Gonna have to think of something
a bit better than that.
Well, now, it's a wondrous thing
you've done, Harry.
Yep. When everyone's gathered,
we'll, uh,
we'll light the fire,
open a bottle
and let the healing begin.
[chuckles]
Yeah, tell me now,
is Brendan here? Hmm?
[Kevin]
Brendan?
Brendan's dead.
[tense music ♪]
[high-pitched ringing]
You think I don't know that?
You think I don't know
my son is in the ground?
I meant Eddie.
My other son.
Ah.
Well, he's not coming, either.
Came round, got his passport
and he's fucked off abroad.
Huh.
[grunts softly]
- Maeve!
- Where's Eddie gone?
I don't know.
Maeve!
Conrad,
she's over at the stables.
Well, don't just stand there,
you great goggle-eyed cunt!
Fetch her.
You all right?
Yeah, Donnie's called me
seven times.
What's happened?
Let's go for a walk.
When you do
get in contact, yeah?
This is your party line.
You've been with Conrad
all morning,
Conrad got very excited
and told you all about
his lovely attack.
- What attack?
- Him and Paul had a foray
into Frankie's backyard
last night, all right?
- He's told you about JoJo--
- Who the fuck is JoJo?
Well, okay. Conrad snatched him
and then brought him here
in his boot, but sadly,
- he's bled to death on the way.
- [phone ringing]
- Oh, fuck, it's him.
- Listen, do you understand?
Yes, I've got it.
Do not mention the name JoJo,
because we do not know it yet.
Yep, don't mention JoJo.
[softly]
Okay.
- Donnie.
- Where the fuck you been?
I called ten fucking times.
So first of all, good morning.
Second,
stop shouting at me, prick,
or this whole thing is over.
Do you know what happened
last night?
Of course I know what happened.
Okay? I've been with Dad
all morning.
- [Harry] Jan.
- You've got one minute.
Okay, Jan, um
Listen, something has happened,
and I feel uncomfortable
bringing it up
due to the fact
that it's actually very
sensitive and unpleasant,
but I'm, uh,
I'm afraid I'm gonna have to.
Where are you?
Cotswolds.
[sighs]
Course you are.
How goeth thine quest?
[Eddie] Maeve,
what the fuck is going on?
Did you get the gift basket?
- Yes.
- Did you find the card?
- Yes.
- And the other thing?
Yep.
[Harry] Jan, somebody was
in the house, and they
took a video of you and a man.
What the fuck?
Come to the address
I just sent you.
Frankie wants to debrief,
face-to-face.
Mm-mm. No, sorry.
I have to be here.
[Jan] Let me tell you
what's happening here.
You've had someone following me,
they've seen me
with someone, and now
you want to know their name
so you can chop them up
into little pieces
and feed them to Conrad's dogs.
No, that's not
what's happening here.
You-you genuinely
have been set up.
[Donnie] Now get in your fucking
car and come back to London.
I mean, Donnie,
I can't fucking come.
There's a big powwow
at the house, everyone's here.
Can't just say
I've got theatre tickets
and fuck off back to town,
it does not work like that.
[eerie music ♪]
Jan, please, listen.
I'm being very serious.
[Jan]
No, you listen to me, Harry.
Remember your daughter, Gina?
Remember that note she left?
Well, I want you to know,
I 100% agree.
I wish I had killed the cunt.
[Maeve]
You're all set.
I didn't send you
all the way to Kenmare
to sit on your cracker,
ride Gina and pick your hole.
You've a job to do.
Now it's time to find out if
those balls are Harrigan balls.
Maeve, please. Listen.
I'm a bit in the dark here.
I mean, what the fuck is it
you want me to do?
Here is your quest, O prince.
Bring me the head

Paul, what are you doing
sneaking around?

Hi. Can I have this

See you outside.

Could I have a word, please?
Mum.
Don't "Mum" me,

So, I was in
the stables earlier,
and I overheard Maeve
talking to Eddie on the phone.
She said, and I quote--
he's in Ireland, by the way.
- Ireland?
- Ireland. She said, and I quote,
"I didn't send you
and Gina--" your Gina--
"all the way to Kenmare
to pick your hole."
And then she said something else
that was quite concerning,
which is why I'm fucking
talking to you right now.
- So, what did she say?
- She said
Mm-hmm.

What did she say, Paul?
She said, "Bring me the head
of the fucking Medusa."
Fucking smirking bastard whore.

Right, give me your weapon.

Is this what you're looking for?
Spare mag. Let's go.
- I'll be right back.
- Okay.
[Conrad]
So, who's the mark, then?
Seraphina?
Harry?
Or is it me?
Conrad Harrigan.
Now I know
you've finally lost it.
If you could think
for one minute
that I want to poison my tiger,
my babes, the love of my life?
I mean, sure, you're a mad bad
bastard with a head like a rock,
and sometimes I've wanted
your balls for baubles,
but honestly,
if you could think that I

you're a sick, sick man.
Hmm.
