If you’ve been following the grime-slicked streets of London in Ronan Bennett’s crime saga, you know the finale wasn't just another episode. It was a funeral. Honestly, the way Mobland Episode 10 wrapped up felt less like a season ending and more like a total demolition of everything we thought we knew about the Harrigan family.
By the time the credits rolled on "The Beast in Me," the body count was high, but the emotional wreckage was even higher. You've got Kevin Harrigan finally snapping, Harry Da Souza playing a game so deep even the audience was gasping for air, and a literal betrayal at every single turn. It was chaotic. It was bloody. And frankly, it was exactly what the show needed to cement itself as more than just another "tough guy" drama.
The Harrigan-Stevenson War: How it Actually Ended
Most people thought Richie Stevenson had the upper hand because Conrad and Maeve were sitting in a jail cell. Big mistake. Being behind bars didn't stop the Harrigan patriarchs from pulling strings, though it was Harry Da Souza who actually did the heavy lifting on the ground.
The strategy was basically a masterclass in the "double-cross." Harry used Richie’s own rat—the lawyer O'Hara Delaney—against him. It’s funny, Richie thought he was so smart having O'Hara feed him intel. But Harry knew. He’s always known. He fed O'Hara fake information to lure Richie’s hit squads into specific "kill zones."
One squad went to the safe house expecting to find the Harrigan women—Jan, Gina, and Bella. Instead? They found Kiko and Zosia waiting with a grenade. It was a total massacre. However, it wasn't a clean win. Kiko took a bullet to the chest and died in Zosia's arms. It was a gut-punch moment for a character who usually felt invincible.

The Death of Richie Stevenson
The final confrontation at the Sinful Monkey was the stuff of nightmares. Richie, realizing he’d been played, grabbed O'Hara as a human shield. In most shows, the "hero" pauses. Not here. Harry and Kevin didn't even blink. They shot right through the lawyer to get to Richie.
Kevin Harrigan, played with a terrifying fragility by Paddy Considine, finally let the "beast" out. He didn't just kill Richie; he made him look him in the eye. "The Harrigans say hello," he said, before putting a final bullet through Richie's eye. It was cold. It was the moment Kevin officially stopped being a victim of his past and started being the monster he always feared he’d become.
That Shocking Twist with Eddie’s Parentage
If you missed the middle of the episode, you missed the bomb that blew the family apart. We’ve been led to believe Eddie was Kevin’s son. Nope.
Maeve, being the manipulative "Mother Nature" she claims to be, dropped the truth on Eddie during a prison visit: Conrad is his father. Basically, Kevin’s wife, Bella, was his father’s "sloppy seconds," as Kevin so poetically put it later. This realization broke something in Eddie. He went back to the safe house and nearly choked Bella to death.

Is Harry Da Souza Dead?
The ending of Mobland Episode 10 left everyone screaming at their screens. After surviving a literal gang war, Harry goes home to his wife, Jan. You’d think they’d have a moment of relief. Instead, it was a boiling point of years of resentment.
Jan was in the kitchen, losing her mind over the danger Harry puts them in. In a frantic, accidental burst of rage, she lashed out with a knife while Harry was trying to help her. She stabbed him right in the chest. We see Harry slumped over, bleeding out as the screen fades.
It’s a massive cliffhanger. While some fans think Tom Hardy’s character is too central to die, the show hasn't been shy about killing off favorites (RIP Kiko). If Harry dies, the Harrigan empire loses its only moral compass—if you can even call him that.
What’s Next for Season 2?
The power vacuum left by Richie Stevenson won't stay empty for long. Kat McAllister is already circling. She tried to recruit Harry, he told her to shove it, and now she’s looking at Seraphina Harrigan as a potential puppet.

Then there’s the prison situation. Conrad is being treated like a god by the other inmates. He’s "100 Guns" Harrigan, a legend. When he eventually gets out—and he will, thanks to Harry recording the cops planting evidence—he’s walking into a "New World Order" where his son Kevin doesn't respect him anymore.
Actionable Insights for Fans
- Rewatch the "20 Men from Dublin Town" scene: The song Conrad and Maeve sang while being arrested? It wasn't just a song. It was a coded signal about a prison break.
- Watch the background news reports: The finale tucked away a lot of info about Bella’s father (the Home Secretary) being arrested. This removes a major political shield for the Harrigans.
- Keep an eye on Seraphina: She’s the smartest person in the room who hasn't picked a side yet. Her lunch meeting with Kat McAllister is the most important setup for next season.
The war for London’s soul is just getting started, and honestly, after that recap, it’s clear no one is safe. If you're looking for a happy ending, you're watching the wrong show.
The most immediate next step for any fan is to go back and watch the scenes between Kevin and Rusby one more time. The "beast" didn't come out of nowhere; the breadcrumbs were there the whole season.
