Love/Hate

- Season 3

(2012)

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.

Nidge struggles to allay Dano's suspicions when his secret threatens to get out as Siobhan and Elmo, for different reasons, start to talk.

Pressure builds as Dano's superiors send a chilling inquisitor down to Dublin and Nidge's lies start to catch up with him.

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.
