MobLand episode 3 reveals Tommy's Killer

In MobLand episode 3, the shocking truth about who killed Tommy Stevenson is revealed. The mystery of who killed Tommy Stevenson is answered with a chilling revelation in Mobland episode 3. Valjon, after enduring a savage beating by Kevin and Harry, finally confesses the truth.
Eddie Harrigan, in a brutal outburst, murdered Tommy, stabbing him 50-60 times. Valjon, the club manager, was hired by Eddie to dispose of the body, for which Eddie paid him a substantial sum of $10,000.
The fact that Eddie never gives a clear reason for his actions may be the most disturbing thing about him. According to Valjon's testimony, things were drastic. After a fight in the club, Tommy tried to stab Eddie, and Eddie, in the heat of the moment, did something himself.
But Eddie wasn't just mean to Tommy; he was mean to everyone. Eddie's behavior has been all over the place throughout the series, and this new information only makes how unstable he is. As always, Maeve is happy with Eddie's actions and looks forward to the chaos that will follow this brutal murder.
How Harry manages to put the Gang War on hold

As MobLand episode 3 goes on, Harry is determined to keep the Harrigans and Richie Stevenson's crew from starting a full-on gang war. Harry knows that time is running out because Richie has sent killers to kill him and his family. Kevin's house was blown up as a warning that the violence has reached a dangerous level.
Even though there is a threat right now, Harry tricks Richie by delivering Tommy's body parts as promised, though they are in pieces inside a trunk. By keeping his promise to Richie, he buys the Harrigans some time, but the peace is still not long-lived.
The body is delivered, but Harry does more than that. He also brings Valjon with him. The club manager is very important to Harry's plan to stop Richie from going on a rampage because he knows how to kill Tommy. Harry uses Valjon's life as a bargaining chip and threatens to kill his family if he doesn't go along with the story.
Valjon has to lie and say that he killed Tommy during a failed attempt to kidnap him. This false account of what happened is a short-term fix to keep Richie from getting revenge on the Harrigans.
Valjon’s sacrifice in MobLand episode 3

He says Eddie Harrigan killed Tommy in a violent rage by stabbing him 50 to 60 times, but he also says Eddie paid him $10,000 to get rid of Tommy's body. Now that Valjon has chosen to protect the Harrigans, his life is tied to theirs, and it costs him a lot.
Valjon agrees to be blamed for Tommy's death, even though he wasn't the one who did it, so that Richie Stevenson won't get mad at him.
Harry and Kevin put pressure on him to make up a story in which he says he killed Tommy during a failed attempt to kidnap him. By telling this lie, the Harrigans can buy some time, but Valjon has to give up his own reputation and maybe even his life.
Valjon decides to protect his family by committing a crime he didn't commit because he knows Richie will be very angry if he finds out the truth. His sacrifice is a major turning point in the episode that shows how hard it is to live in the criminal underworld.
