This one goes somewhere different. Seán talks about actually walking into prison in 2012, what those weeks inside were like, and coming home to try and rebuild.

Then it gets into what happened in 2014 when he was given a shot at getting back involved in the business — and how that fell apart too, with a 141-page document he says was written specifically to keep his family out for good. He names names, talks about money he says was stolen from the company, the letters he sent to the Gardaí that went nowhere, and doesn't dodge the harder questions either — including about the Kevin Lunney abduction and whether he's just an old man who lost and won't accept it.

Straight answers, no filter. This is the most personal episode yet.

Picking up where episode 1 left off — this is the part of the story where the state gets directly involved.

Sean talks through the day the government moved in and took control of the Quinn Group, the agreement he says his own board was forced to sign, and a comment from a government minister that he still hasn't forgotten. From there it goes into the court case, the injunctions, assets tied up abroad, and how it all ended with a bankruptcy order for €3 billion.

Whatever side of this story you land on, hearing it laid out step by step is something else.

Seán Quinn built one of the biggest privately owned businesses in Ireland from nothing. Then it all came apart — and not the way most people think.

In this first episode Seán sits down to walk through how a bet on Anglo Irish Bank shares turned into the biggest financial collapse the country has ever seen, and how his family ended up holding hundreds of millions in debt they say they never agreed to. He gets into the numbers, the calls that were made behind closed doors, and what it actually felt like watching it all unravel in real time.

This is the first time a lot of this has been said publicly, in his own words.
