In the last episode of season 2, we look at the unbelievable story of Gerry Hutch, who was cleared in 2023 of the murder of David Byrne and then embarked on an even more unlikely path.

Banged up in Lanzarote on money laundering charges, he was freed on bail in 2024 and came home to run as a candidate in Ireland’s general election.

Episode 10 hears about one extraordinary weekend when it looked as if the Monk would become an elected TD, told by the woman who beat him to a seat.

As CAB comes looking for unpaid taxes, and Spanish authorities prepare to charge him, Gerry Hutch is ready to run for election again in a by-election.

In the case of Daniel's father, we hear of the Dapper Don’s dreams of a life outside of crime as a respectable man, and how his eldest son put a bullet in that.

They were once inseparable as they gorged on the proceeds of their criminal empires - the Hutches, Kinahans, Byrnes.

But when David Byrne was killed in 2016 at the Regency, Thomas 'Bomber' Kavanagh came back from the UK to help his Cartel colleagues wage war on the Hutches.

In this episode we go back to 2001 when the young Liam and David Byrne were central characters in the brutal Drimnagh/Crumlin feud, a drugs war between former friends which claimed 16 lives.

We hear from a former associate of the Byrnes and Kinahans who pours doubt on the levels of their brutality - could it all be a misunderstanding?

We see the seeds of a Kinahan/Byrne split as the State takes down the Byrnes and paranoia runs rife - putting the spotlight on the insidious villain James ‘Jaws’ Byrne, the family patriarch who refused to sanction peace.

And why Daniel Kinahan could find no place for his old pal Liam Byrne in his new life in Dubai.

When an unknown middle aged man was spotted in the Kinahan Cartel uniform at David Byrne's funeral, it wasn’t a case of who’s who - but who’s he?

Standing alongside known criminals of the gang, wearing the same black and blue kit, this man, who had been invisible before, was now on the Gardaí's radar.

But who was this Mr Nobody?

In time, his defiance and stupidity would bring down the Kinahans’ plan to unleash a massacre on the first anniversary of the Regency.

And topple the gang’s top man in the UK.

This is the story of the Greenogue weapons seizure, and the extraordinary double life of a jobless trucker who lured his wife, brother and lover into his criminal orbit- Mr Nobody, Declan Brady.

Patsy Hutch was also at the very top of the Cartel kill list - but unfortunately for Daniel Kinahan, by the time it came to taking him out all his best men were in prison.

We meet the many men hired with the tasks of trying to murder the Monk's brother- addicts, emotionally damaged, mentally unstable men unsuitable for the jobs they were given.

Garda tapes take us inside the minds of idiots, hired by Dubai bosses to do the dirtiest of gangland work.

James ‘Mago’ Gately was a man the Kinahan Cartel desperately wanted - so much so that they went for an overseas hitman to take down the Hutch gang boss.

This episode tells the story of Imre Arakas and his one day in Dublin as a free man, unaware that Gardaí were following his every move across the city.

The Cartel would go again at Mago, refusing to let him off the hook.

And we hear of another botched hit, as Garda wire taps take listeners inside a dopey hit team hired to take out Michael Frazer - a man dubbed ‘Mickey Nine Lives’ after surviving several assassin’s bullets.

Episode 2 tells the story of hopeless drug addict Michael Carroll and his desperate bids to have his €40,000 Kinahan debt written off.

We hear how the criminal pursed innocent targets connected to the Hutch family- the Monk's innocent brother, Johnny Hutch, and family relative through marriage, Eddie Staunton.

He took extreme lengths to try and work off his debt.

And on the other side, we hear from Robert Cullen, a man who lived a chaotic life even before becoming a violent drug dealer for another criminal gang, not connected to the Kinahans.

He explains why a suicide attempt resulted in a brutal ultimatum from criminals to whom he owed €70,000 - was he willing to murder to wipe his slate clean?

In the three years following US sanctions and a $15million collective bounty on their heads, the Dapper Don and his sons have managed to thrive.

Christy Senior, Daniel and Christopher Jr’s wealth has only grown despite being locked out of any legitimate industry.

How have they managed it?

Episode 1 introduces the Kinahan’s work with terror groups, rogue states and international drugs gangs - just as Donald Trump turns the screw on the Cartels.

We take a look at the lives in gilded exile in Dubai, an existence that is anything but peaceful in 2026 as Daniel in particular lives in fear of the law which is ready to pounce.

In stark contrast to their transnational successes, we examine how the Irish State began to dismantle the OCG at home from 2016, one failed Hutch hit at a time.

Reconstructed Garda tapes deliver a fascinating insight into the work of the Cartel’s Irish sub cells employed to wage war on the Hutch faction from the gang’s Dubai HQ.

With contributions from senior detectives, gangsters, FBI, US Treasury, and News Ireland journalists.
