Welcome home.

You're a Kinsella,
and we stick together.

Always.

FRANK: You and I have
been doing business

since before Moore was born.

EAMON: It's not personal, Frank.

It's just the model's changing.

You're either all in
with me or you're not.

CAOLAN: I want to deal
with Viking meself,

if you give it the okay.

Go on.

VIKING: Jamie! Jamie!
An ambulance, will ya?!

AMANDA: Who's gonna pay for this?

You said whoever k*lled him would pay.

MICHAEL: Well, I can't be
involved in any of that.

Not if I want to see Anna.

You done it before for
money. Do it now for family.

- [g*nshots]
- [CROWD SCREAMING]

EAMON: You have no idea

what you have just f*cking started.

You're all done, 'cause
you're f*cking dead.

DR. ROONEY: I'd say it's possible
you may have developed epilepsy.

MICHAEL: If I take these,

will it be like I'm normal again?

If you have any worries,
just come back and see me.

Answer me, Michael.

Why'd you k*ll her?

MICHAEL: It was an accident.

How do you accidentally sh**t someone?

You know I'd never do
anything to hurt your mother.

[CRYING]

JIMMY: You know I never
once tried to punish you.

You make me feel like the shitty one

'cause you f*cked my brother?

MICHAEL: Are you trying
to blow everything up?

Boom.

We can't just sit here,
waiting to be k*lled.

Then what do we do?

Then we have to be smarter than him.

EAMON: How much did they get?

CON: All of it.

We have your dr*gs.

I'll get them back, and then I'll k*ll

Frank and Michael and Jimmy,

every last f*cking one of them.

AMANDA: So, who is it you talk to, Kem?

Is it Eamon himself?

I'm not a f*cking rat,
if that's what you think.

CULLEN: We believe Jamie's
k*lling was in retaliation

for a sh**ting that happened
a couple of nights earlier.

You saying I should give up my son?

I'm just telling you
what's gonna happen.

They already have Eric.

Now they're just widening their net

to see what else they can catch.

If this blows up, we'll have
Fraud and Revenue after us.

They'll close the dealership down.

NIKITA: He's going to see your uncle.

To get you to go in with him.

Bren's sound.

FRANK: It's about Eric.

He's gonna be coming inside.

I'm not having him f*ck up my parole.

Please. You're too busy sucking cock

to f*cking run this family properly.

Frank! I need an ambulance.

VIKING: There's an
eyewitness to the sh**t'.

Take grand from the
stash in the ceilin'

and get Kem to hire someone

to have them clipped.

CENK: Welcome home, Eamon.

My father wants to see you.

It's all okay, Cenk.

Problem's been fixed.

You can tell him that.

[g*nsh*t, THUD]

[g*nsh*t, THUD, CLATTER]

What the f*ck have you done?

She's agreed to a peace.

She lied.

[g*nsh*t]

[THUDDING]

AMANDA: You just don't
get it, do you, Mam?

I'm a Kinsella now.

[g*nsh*t, b*llet CLANGS]

Aw, for f*ck's sake.

f*ck!

[CLICKING]

f*ck.

He's after f*cking stabbing me.

Give me the g*n and get out to the car.

I'll do it myself, ya f*ckin' dope!

[g*n COCKS]

[GRUNTING] Please. Please, don't sh**t.

Brother, please. Please, man, don't.

I've got two kids, man! Please!

We won't say anything. We swear.

[CONVERSING IN NATIVE LANGUAGE] _

[TIRES SQUEAL]

[INHALES SHARPLY]

[SPEAKS NATIVE LANGUAGE]

What's so urgent?

Your order's in transit.

The first half of your payment is due.

I know. I'll have it by Friday.

I want it today.

That's the account we want it in.

And not all in one go.
Multiple transactions.

It's not me first rodeo.

Then I can expect those
lodgements in by close of business?

[GROANS]

[SHIP HORN BLARES]

[TRAIN WHEELS CLACKING]

- Did you get it all?
- Yeah.

Kinsella?

Yeah.

Buzzer

Just one. The other one waits out here.

Yeah.

[BAG RUSTLING]

WOMAN: The only evidence that places

my client at the scene of the sh**ting

is a single eyewitness's testimony...

an eyewitness who has since passed away.

You mean m*rder*d

in a targeted assassination
at a supermarket.

That is unfortunate,

but if that witness is not
available to be cross-examined,

their statement must
be deemed inadmissible.

We ask that all charges be struck out.

Does the prosecution object
to the defense's application?

- No, Judge.
- [EXCLAIMS]

This court strikes out all charges

against Eric Xavier Kinsella

in relation to the sh**ting
on the th of September.

[GAVEL BANGS]

How does this work?

You give them that code,

they take it to a
colleague of mine in Madrid,

he'll pay them $ million.

Just like that?

Yes.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

You ready?

Yeah, just give me a minute.
I'll see you in the car.

[GLASS THUDS ON COUNTER]

[EXHALES SHARPLY]

Here he is.

[LAUGHS]

Hello, love.

Oh. Good to see you. You good?

I'm better now that I've seen you.

Hey! [LAUGHS]

Where's Frank?

He's just helping Amanda
with a bit of business.

They're coming later, though.

They're meeting us at the restaurant.

Nice wheels.

Oh, well. Glad you like
it. Because it's yours.

f*ck off. No way!

Check out the boot.

Business must be good.

You have no idea.

[CACKLES] Let's f*cking go!

[TELEPHONES RINGING]

[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]

[DOORS SLIDE]

- Well?
- All done.

Let them know we're here?

Did you bring what we asked?

Of course.

I'll go check this.

So... do we talk to you or him?

My father would rather
not have to send a daughter

to look after his business.

But one of your family k*lled his son.

Eamon Cunningham was trying
to wipe this family out.

We had to protect ourselves.

My brother had no
involvement in any of that.

Michael thought it was
one of Eamon's bodyguards.

What happened was a terrible mistake.

But we're here to make amends...

for the loss of your brother.

My family has lost their only boy.

How do you make amends for that?

We just handed over $ million.

That was the price of
this meeting, nothing more.

We're willing to double that
sum to ensure Michael's safety.

Michael Kinsella k*lled my brother,

and he will pay for that.

Why come here if you're
not going to negotiate?

To discuss Eamon Cunningham's
death to my family.

He owed my father almost $ million.

And, as you k*lled him,
the debt is now yours.

You're f*cking joking.

You have been making lots of money

from the dr*gs that you stole.

- Nothing like $ million.
- That's your problem.

I'm just telling you what you owe.

This is f*cking bullshit.

I imagined you would respond like this.

And, honestly, I hope you tell my father

to go f*ck himself.

This is the outcome I would like.

Because then, it won't be
just Michael who is a target,

but every single one of your family.

That transfer has been received.

[DOOR CLOSES]

I fly home tomorrow.

If by then I haven't heard how
you intend to repay the debt,

my father will assume
our families are at w*r.

[PASSIONATE MOANING]

Welcome home.

[BOTH LAUGH]

[KISSING]

Thanks for arranging that thing for me.

I don't want to have to do
anything like that again.

You won't.

I'm here now.

I'll look after everything.

- Okay?
- Yeah.

Yeah.

We'll start with three bottles
of the Louis Roederer Cristal,

and I want some nibbles
as well for the table...

the crispy quail eggs, the pâté,

and the Dublin Bay prawns.

Thank you.

I've ordered the champagne.

- Lovely.
- Okay.

Let's get our booze on. Ahh.

VIKING: There he is now.

Who's Mister f*cking Boy Band?

That's Dan, the new ***.

- Hey.
- Ill f*ckin' time.

- Hey.
- [CHUCKLES]

It's great to have you back.

Thanks, Da.

Jimmy, I'll follow you over.

Did you lose your watch?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Come here.

Hey, you've been juicin'? You big con.

f*ck off. Yeah.

- You look great.
- You too. You good?

- Yeah, yeah.
- How did it go, Frank?

They wouldn't even discuss
a figure for Michael.

They want a head.

And that's not all.

[URINATING]

[BREATHES DEEPLY]

[PHONE CLICKING]

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

Rory, you can go.

Jimmy's gonna drive me in his car.

Are you sure? I don't mind waiting.

Yeah, positive. Thanks.

[ENGINE STARTS]

Hey. You okay?

Let's just go.

[ENGINE STARTS]

[TIRES SQUEAL]

AMANDA: What did you tell them?

That your ma had a fall and we had
to go to hospital, like you said.

They probably think you're
trying to avoid Viking.

I don't care what they think.

Just as long as it's not this.

How could Eamon
Cunningham owe $ million?

He was minted!

On other people's money.

That has to be bullocks.

They're talking through
their f*ckin' hoop.

What?

We're not paying it.

Just out of one w*r, you want
to go starting another one

with someone else...
someone even bigger?

So what do we do?

See how much cash we
can lay our hands on.

But it's not gonna be
anything like what they want.

Oh, for f*ck's sake.

This is some f*cking party.

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]

MAN: So it's been around weeks?

Uh, on Friday.

Hm. And it was an assisted conception?

Yeah. IVF.

Okay.

We'll do a quick scan just
to give it some peace of mind.

Tuck it in there.

Gonna be a small bit cold. Okay?

So, can you... can
you see the heartbeat?

[SIGHS] I'm really sorry, Amanda.

I know this is coming as
a shock to both of you,

but I think it's
important we move quickly.

I'm going to contact
the surgeons and call,

see about getting you in
to theater this afternoon...

[DIALOGUE FADES]

Here. Do you believe that

Who cares? f*ck her.

She's in for a rude awakening.

What'ya mean?

You're just out, Eric. Don't
go doing anything stupid.

No, no. Not me.

Someone else is gonna sort her out.

I'm just gonna stand back
and watch it all go off.

What does "well" mean?

That you're okay. You're gonna be fine.

And that's the important thing.

You hungry? You want me
to get you a bite to eat?

Some tea? Or a drink?

Um, no.

You should just... You
should go home, Jimmy.

I'm just gonna sleep.

And Anthony's at home on his own.

I'll call you if I need anything.

Yeah. No. Go on.

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

[DOOR OPENS]

Let me know if you need anything.

[DOOR CLOSES]

So you are the one in charge.

That means you ordered the
sh**ting that k*lled Cenk.

Do you want to hear what
I have to offer or not?

You say the debt is $ million.

I'm willing to pay $ instead.

I presume the extra
twenty comes with a price.

Michael.

I've told you.

He will not be a part
of any arrangement.

The men sent to k*ll
him last night failed.

And you'll keep failing.
'Cause he is good at this.

We only need to be successful once.

Well, if you do get him,

all you'd have done is cost
your family $ million.

'Cause we won't pay a
penny if you k*ll him.

Is that supposed to be a thr*at?

You may think that k*lling Michael

will ease the pain of
your brother's death.

But it won't.

Nothing will.

My son was m*rder*d eight months ago,

and I made sure that
those responsible are dead.

But the pain I feel is the same.

You're not me.

I know your father is dying.

Now would be a good time to
show how well his daughter

can handle his affairs.

You can return home and tell him

that you failed to k*ll Michael again

and that you failed to
get any money out of us...

or you can return with the news

that you secured $
million for your family.

Which will impress him more?

If it means sparing Michael,

he would rather I
came home with nothing.

How can you be sure?

$ million.

That's a lot to give up.

You have four months to pay the debt.

That's not enough time.

Four months... or nothing.

[DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES]

FATHER: Can I help you with anything?

I have a question for you.

Well, if I can answer it, I will.

So, I was dead.

My heart stopped for
nearly three minutes

before the paramedics resuscitated me.

In all that time...

nothing.

No bright light nor...

no warm sensation

or any of the things that you hear.

That can't be a good sign.

Were you expecting a good sign?

Do you ever consider that maybe
God spared you for a reason?

What reason?

Only He knows that.

The Bible is filled
with plenty of people

who repented their sins and found peace.

And from where I'm standing,
you don't look like a man

that has a lot of peace in his life.

We hear confessions every Friday.

Come if you'd like.

I don't think that's a good idea.

God never forgets you.

[ENGINE SHUTS OFF]

Hey, you.

Hey ya.

You should've called me.
I'd have collected you.

What did the doctors say?

I need you to call a meeting.

You should be taking it easy.

What for? The baby's already dead.

Can't k*ll it again.

You know that wasn't your fault.

Just call a meeting.

[BRAKE CLICKS]

[ENGINE SHUTS OFF]

[WHIRRING]

Welcome home, Eric.

How's your ma? Nothing broken, I hope.

No.

Glad to hear.

- Hiya.
- So...

what's so urgent, couldn't wait?

Michael had visitors last night.

Is he okay?

He's fine. He dealt with it.

But he can't stay there any longer.

So I went to see Nuray Batuk.

What, without telling anyone here?

I needed to see her before she left.

So, you just do whatever
the f*ck you want now?

- Is that it?
- It's done.

Well, it shouldn't
have been f*ckin' done.

Not without talking to
the rest of us first.

[CHUCKLES] Have youse
forgotten what she did?

She went behind your back, Da.

Had Eamon clipped.

- Bit of respect, Eric.
- No.

She tried to have me k*lled.

That's not true.

What Eamon told Birdy was a lie.

He chose you, not me.

Of course you were gonna say that.

You think Eamon Cunningham

would let me decide something like that?

He was winding Birdy
up and causing sh*t.

Tell me you're not buying
that f*cking bullshit.

I'm not gonna warn you again, Eric.

Nuray Batuk has agreed to take
the bounty off Michael's head.

VIKING: Great.

And what about Eamon's debt?

They've given us four
months to find the money.

But we still have to
pay them the $ million?

- $ million.
- Wow.

The extra $ million is a fee
for the four-month grace period

and getting Michael home.

But it will be safe for
Mikey to come home, then?

- Yeah.
- This is bollocks.

We're still paying
them a f*ckin' fortune.

That debt is a blessing.

Are you touched?

It's probably all that's keeping Michael

and the rest of us here alive.

Why do you think the Batuks
even agreed to meet us?

Because we already paid them $ million.

Batuk doesn't need $ million.

It's certainly not enough to
swallow the death of his son.

The only reason they agreed
to meet us is they saw a chance

to get back the money that
Eamon Cunningham owed them.

As long as we're repaying
that debt, they'll leave us be.

And how are we meant to
repay all that in four months?

AMANDA: With the next
shipment coming in,

we'll have enough money
for the first payment.

But we're gonna have
to increase revenue,

and that will mean
expanding out of Dublin.

That's not gonna go down well.

If Eamon Cunningham could supply
the whole country, so can we.

No.

You don't speak for me.

You don't make deals on my behalf.

Not without even asking me first.

Fine. All right, you tell us
how you'd sort out all this

with the Batuks.

And get Michael home.

Not like this.

How?

You think you're f*ckin' smart now?

You think you're real
f*ckin' smart, don't you?

- You just wait.
- That's enough, Eric.

[FOOTSTEPS DEPART]

[SIGHS]

What's gonna happen when
all this money gets paid?

You think they're just
gonna leave us alone?

I don't know.

But this gives us four
months to work that out

and decide what we're gonna do.

Mm.

Where's your cousin?

Uh, she's expecting a call,

so she asked me to speak to you.

What happened with Michael Kinsella?

I'm still waiting on word
back from the lads I sent.

But don't worry.

If there's been a problem,
we'll get him next time.

Okay.

[GRUNTS]

[VEHICLE DOOR OPENS]

[ENGINE STARTS]

[SIGHS] $ million in four months?

I don't see that we have a choice.

It's either that or another w*r.

Yeah.

But if I'm to do this,

I can't have Viking f*cking
up things with his usual sh*t.

He won't. [SIGHS]

You know what he's like.

He'll calm down once he sees
everyone else is behind you.

I hope so.

We'll be fine.

Trust me.

[TIRES SCREECH]

[CAR DOOR CLOSES]

- Hey.
- Yeah.

[LAUGHS]

Good to see you.

- You good?
- Yeah.

So, this is the sprog?

KEM: Yeah. Her name's Chloe.

Ah.

When does she stop looking
like a f*ckin' troll?

[LAUGHING] I'm only messing with you.

Here.

That's for sorting that
other thing out for me.

- Nikki already paid me for that.
- Yeah, it's a bonus... from me.

To show how grateful I am, yeah?

Take it.

Take it.

[CHUCKLES]

- My man.
- Thanks.

And now that I'm out,
plenty more work for ya.

Listen, no disrespect, V,

but with having Chloe
now and everything,

I'm keeping things clean.

Exactly.

You're a da now, you need to provide.

And you don't want to be
bringing your daughter up

in some f*ckin' sh*thole.

So, stick with me

and you'll be able to
treat her like a princess.

Now look, I need three or four lads

you can vouch for, straight away.

There'll be lots of work.

Amanda know about this?

f*ck Amanda. Trust me.

There's big changes
coming to this family

and she's the first to
get the f*cking heave, eh?

Oh, Kem, whoever you get,
they need to be handy, okay?

Yeah.
