The seventh episode featured an interview by Lee with the billionaire businessman, Michael Smurfit. Smurfit, who brought the Ryder Cup competition to the K Club, County Kildare in 2006, spoke of his father being refused membership at several Dublin golf courses in the 1950s because they mistakenly believed him to be Jewish. This discrimination, he said, served as motivation for Smurfit to expand his family business into a worldwide organisation with annual profits of €7 billion which employs 40,000 people. Smurfit also spoke of Ireland's economic growth and the controversy over a land deal which led to an intervention by the then Taoiseach, Charles Haughey who asked him to resign as Chairman of Telecom Éireann after thirteen years in that position. The eighth episode featured an interview by Lawlor with the Artistic Director of the Gate Theatre in Dublin, Michael Colgan. He spoke of first meeting his hero, the playwright Samuel Beckett ("like meeting John Lennon") in Paris in 1986. Colgan and Alan Moloney, his business partner, eventually committed all nineteen of Beckett's plays onto film in 2001 in a joint project for RTÉ, Channel 4 and the Irish Film Board. Colgan also spoke of his 23-year tenure as Artistic Director of the Gate Theatre, his relationship with the Abbey Theatre and his feuds – with the Arts Council of Ireland over funding and with the playwright, Tom Murphy, which he later regretted. The ninth episode featured an interview by Crowley with Ben Dunne, businessman. Dunne spoke of his friendship with Charles Haughey, his decision to gift Haughey over £1 million but not to attend his funeral, his cocaine addiction which led to him being arrested in Florida on drugs-related charges and his infamous 1980s kidnapping by republican gunmen in Northern Ireland.
