Why Harry rejected Kat in the MobLand finale — And how it sets the stage for Season 2’s feud

The latest British crime drama, MobLand gained immense popularity among viewers, thanks to a gritty and intriguing storyline. It takes a dive into London's criminal underworld, where everyone is aware of the powerful and feared crime dynasty, the Harrigan family.

However, soon this leading criminal family begins to face challenges when threatened by an old rival gang, the Stevensons. This results in an all-out gang war that puts everyone at risk.

As the series continues shifting loyalties, secrets, power struggles and never-ending chaos erupt. The story doesn’t just focus on the gangs as it also shows how crimes affect personal relationships and family dynamics.

Harry Da Souza must make a significant and dramatic decision by the end of MobLand Season 1 that could alter London's evolving criminal scene. The enigmatic Kat McAllister approaches Harry after he has destroyed the Stevenson crime family and offers him the opportunity to assist her in destroying the Harrigans.

While there were benefits to the offer, Harry turned it down due to his strict adherence to loyalty with his long-time partners. This decision is important as it proves his loyalty, but even more importantly sets the stage for a forthcoming conflict in the next season.

Harry's code: Loyalty was the only option he had in MobLand Season 1

Harry Da Souza says no to Kat McAllister because he has his own personal rules, one of them being loyalty. Even though Harry is involved in crime, he still lives by a certain sense of right and wrong. He's not just someone doing the job for money.

When he said "Thank you, but no thank you", McAllister asked if he was refusing the offer from a woman whom he had previously asked for favors. To which Harry simply says:

"No, no. I'm asking you to respect my loyalty."

He’s loyal to the Harrigan family, especially Kevin Harrigan, because they have a strong bond built over time. It’s more than just business for him. When Kat tries to get him on her side in the MobLand finale, it might seem like a smart move on the surface. But Harry knows it would mean turning his back on people he truly cares about.

For him, that would be crossing a line and throwing away his values just for personal gain. And even though staying loyal might bring danger or make enemies, Harry chooses to stick to his beliefs in MobLand. That’s what sets him apart in the ruthless and criminal world full of people who easily switch sides.

Why turning down Kat could start a global war in MobLand Season 2

Kat McAllister's proposal was a calculated attempt to consolidate power rather than just a business transaction. In addition to being a personal slight, Harry's rejection of her could stand in the way of her goals. Kat, who has a significant impact outside of London, is not likely to take this setback well.

While trying to convince him, she clearly mentioned that not helping her take the Harrigans down would mean he would become her enemy as well. McAllister badly wants to see the downfall of the crime family, and Harry's refusal just adds to her urge to wipe them all out.

The consequences of Harry's choice will be examined in MobLand Season 2. Kat's vast network, which may include connections to global cartels, makes her a dangerous foe. The Harrigans might not be prepared to withstand her tactics because they are already weak from internal conflict and outside threats.

Also, Kat’s meeting with Seraphina Harrigan shows she’s smart and knows how to take advantage of cracks within the family. By stirring up trouble and playing on existing tensions between the Harrigans, she could break their unity from the inside, making her attack even more dangerous.
