Here’s why Mobland’s Richie invited the Harrigans to attend Tommy’s funeral

In the finale of MobLand Episode 4, Richie Stevenson invited the Harrigan family to attend Tommy Stevenson’s funeral. He presented this invitation as a gesture symbolizing a truce, stating it would preserve harmony among the crime families following Tommy’s passing. Richie suggested that if Harry Da Souza handled the matter involving Valjon, who he believed was behind the murder, he would consider the issue resolved.

Richie escorted Harry privately to his workspace, expressing unease after talking with Valjon. He mentioned liking Harry and suggested that if Harry completed the task, he would consider it resolved. Richie handed a gun to Harry for the purpose of killing Valjon, but kept a close eye on him. However, Harry chose not to use the gun; instead, he took a piece of wood and repeatedly stabbed Valjon, opting for this method to ensure there’d be no hesitation or possibility of recognition.

After Valjon’s passing, I requested the Harrigans to join me at his funeral, although it was presented as a symbolic ceasefire, it could potentially be a trap, given that I remain unsure about who truly took down Tommy. The episode concludes with Valjon’s last words to me remaining a mystery.

Under Maeve Harrigan’s manipulation, Eddie Harrigan ended up killing Tommy. Later, despite showing signs of doubt, Maeve persuasively argued that the act portrayed Eddie as strong. The plot reveals that Maeve planned the murder specifically to instigate a conflict with the Stevensons.

Richie’s invitation could be strategically planned, either to monitor the Harrigans’ actions during the service, or to address them if fresh details emerge.
