Harry, what does your gut say?

I think it's genius.

The fact is, we're damned if we go,

and we're damned if we don't.

He wants you to know
he knows something.

And he wants to humiliate you.

[Harry] I need insurance.

I need you

to put these g*ns somewhere

inside Richie and Vron's house.

of Tommy.

here today to see if you'd come.

And you came. And I respect that.

So there'll be no w*r. But if I see

Eddie Harrigan, he's fair game.

First of all, I'd like to thank Harry

for all their fine efforts...

Can I just say something?

What the f*ck just happened?

Mum?

Well, don't look at me.

What I'd like to know
is which one of you f*ck

slipped me a Mickey Finn?

My head feels like I drank
a pint of Strypit.

Do you know how hard
Harry and I have been working

to keep the peace?

didn't give the order.

It was me.

[scoffs] Why?

- "Why?"
- Yeah, why?

Do you know, it doesn't really matter.

- What's happened has...
- [Conrad shushing]

Why?

"I hate you

with every bone in my body.

I wish you and yours
nothing but ill will."

and let Richie Stevenson mouth me off

I'm Conrad the Dread
"100 f*cking g*ns" Harrigan!

I gave the order.

And Paul here, he placed the package

- five days ago.
- [whispers] Seven.

- When Vron was in Westfield's.
- It was Brent Cross.

[Kevin] So, while we've been
keeping the peace,

Vron's been driving around
with half a pound of Semtex

six inches from her a*s?

C-4, and it was two pounds.

- Shut up, Paul.
- [Conrad] It was plan B.

I want peace.

But if Richie Stevenson
disrespects me like that,

I'll push the f*cking button.

It wasn't your mother.

- It was me.
- [Maeve] I told you so.

I always liked Vron.

- She's funny. Well, she was.
- Now she's dog food.

And we're at w*r!

Who could forget Vegas? [chuckles]

What happened in Vegas?

Oh, it was the Lennox Lewis fight.

And your granddad,

- What was he? What was it?
- [Kevin] He called him

a "greasy, taco-eating,
Mexican c*cksucker."

Yes, this is details, details.

Brendan, Ms. Harrigan.

Welcome to Antwerp.

Been here before, mate.

[Maeve] So, there's a w*r on,

but Seraphina's switched her phone off,

she'd toddled off to Antwerp
with a sh*t ton of cash

in a Sainsbury's bag...
our cash, no less...

to buy Christ knows what
from Christ knows who,

with Brendan.

I mean, seriously?

Who signed off on this?

[O'Hara] Seraphina knows Antwerp well.

She's there for business all the time.

She usually stays
at the Botanic Sanctuary.

If she's carrying a lot of cash,
she's gonna want to stay

somewhere she trusts.

- So that's where she'll be.
- [Seraphina] Alphonse.

- Welcome back, Mrs. Cooper.
- [O'Hara] And Brendan.

Seraphina's a touch jumpy
about the arrangements,

so she-she's liable to pull the plug

if she smells the wrong aftershave.

She has nothing to fear.
It's a simple transaction.

We understand you have
something you wish

- to place in the safe?
- Yes.

- I believe you know the way?
- Thank you.

Although, being Vron Stevenson,
maybe she should have.

And so should we.

and then it's my business
because I have to fix it.

Yes. Yes, that's your job,
that's what we pay you for.

Can I strongly suggest

doesn't meet with your satisfaction,

that gives me great comfort.

[Leonard]
Stones of this quality can fetch

two, three times the price
on the legitimate market.

This deal...

This deal is sweet.

Now, there's a reason for that:
it's ill*gal.

If my client's precautions
are your risks

and your risks are too big, then,

with all due respect,
feel free to f*ck off.

But first, I'm gonna need that deposit.

Those are your client's terms.

Here's ours: no deposit.

Also, we'll be bringing
our own security.

- We... will-will we?
- They will be armed

and remain armed
throughout the transaction.

[Leonard] By all means,

bring your own security.

My client will do the same.

But no deposit, no deal.

Well, in that case, f*ck off.

Samuel has our burner numbers.

- What?
- Think it through.

But just to let you know,
I ain't feeling this.

Just... look, give me
a-a minute. I just...

S-Seraphina? Ser...
what-what the f*ck was that?

- It's called doing business.
- No, no, no, no.

You told him to f*ck off.

Yes, Brendan,
