Summary

In this episode, we look at the dramatic fall of ‘Bomber’ Kavanagh - the hard man who broke down with a panic attack when UK cops nailed him on drug offences.


Back in Ireland, this episode focuses on the final two feud murders in 2018.


And we hear of the dramatic secret police mission to spring a relative from jail to ensure one of the funerals was held.


One top detective describes the Daniel Kinahan he knows, as we introduce the scene in Ireland now, where the Kinahans have been reduced to drugs wholesalers.
