When one of his gang is mistakenly shot by a rival organisation, Nidge plays the diplomat but a mad drunken Paddy's night slides out of control towards disaster.
Nidge sets out to persuade Dano that he had nothing to do with his father's disappearance, but a scapegoat must be found. Nidge turns to ever faithful Darren for help.
The police finally put the jigsaw pieces together and the net closes in on Nidge as he finds himself caught between the cops on one hand and a vengeful Dano on the other.
Fearful of Dano's revenge, Nidge has moved the family out to a hotel. He reconciles with Darren, paying him a proportion of the money he owes, as his old friend - still on the run - plans to leave the country imminently.
