The fate of Brendan in MobLand
One of the most shocking and terrible events in MobLand is Brendan's death. Richie Stevenson's underlings kidnap Brendan and his sister Seraphina in Episode 7, sealing his fate. Gunmen interrupted the couple's lives as they were finalising a deal in Antwerp.
Maeve, Brendan's mother, is instrumental in arranging his death. Hoping to get rid of Seraphina, she betrays her own family by telling Richie Brendan and Seraphina's whereabouts.
Once captured, Brendan and Seraphina are held by the Mexican cartel in a warehouse. Richie, seeking revenge for past losses, makes an example of the Harrigans.
He doesn't want to kill Brendan quickly; instead, he wants a more messy and public execution. A lot of people, including the Harrigan family, have to watch in horror as Brendan is tortured and killed with a chainsaw on TV.
Maeve's misguided attempt to eliminate Seraphina kills Brendan. The live-streamed execution dispels hope. His tragic death highlights the dangers of the criminal underworld, especially for those caught in family feuds and personal vendettas.
The brutal nature of Brendan's death is a clear statement of Richie’s ruthlessness. However, Seraphina's life is spared thanks to a last-minute intervention by Harry Da Souza. Despite his best efforts, Brendan does not survive, marking his death as a pivotal moment in the series.

The aftermath of Brendan’s death
Following Brendan’s death, the Harrigan family is left reeling. Already battling internal conflicts, Conrad and Maeve now must deal with the results of Maeve's treachery.
Brendan's death stokes the conflict between the two criminal families, therefore intensifying the war. The Harrigan family feels the loss of Brendan acutely, particularly given that Maeve's overconfidence and misdirected behavior caused it.
Harry, the family's fixer, is essential in saving Seraphina, but the Harrigans have already suffered. Brendan's death causes a rift in the family that will last for many years. Maeve's efforts to manage the crisis backfire, therefore condemning her to the guilt of killing her son.
