0:05:58 > 0:06:00There was a Chinese.

0:06:08 > 0:06:11- HE BANGS HIS FIST - Chinese have cutters of their own.

0:06:28 > 0:06:30Then what's got into you?
0:06:31 > 0:06:36You think we can take on the Chinese and Billy Kimber.

0:06:38 > 0:06:42I think...Arthur. That's what I do.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23But before we have a show of hands for that...
0:08:24 > 0:08:27..let's have a show of hands from all those who fought in France,
0:08:27 > 0:08:31all those who stood side-by-side with your comrades
0:08:31 > 0:08:34and watched your comrades fall. Raise your hands.

0:08:53 > 0:08:56- Who, then? Do they stand among us? - MEN: No!
0:08:56 > 0:09:00Or do they sit at home, comfortable, with a full belly
0:09:00 > 0:09:05while you scrape to find enough to put shoes on your children's feet!
0:09:05 > 0:09:08- MEN: Yes! - And what is the reward they offer you for your sacrifices made?
0:09:09 > 0:09:12A fucking cut in your wages!

0:11:05 > 0:11:07The crown of a prince.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- Soon to be King, I'd bet. - You don't bet.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16No, but these past few days I've been speculating.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22About what?
0:11:23 > 0:11:25One of my Union comrades has a sister,
0:11:25 > 0:11:28works in the telegraph office at the BSA factory.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31She says over the past week they've had messages
0:11:31 > 0:11:35coming up from London to the brass - from Winston Churchill himself.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Something about a robbery.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45"A robbery of national significance", it said.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51She found the list of names left on the telegraph machine.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56And on that list was your name and my name together.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03What kind of a list would have the name of a Communist and the name of a bookmaker side-by-side?
0:12:08 > 0:12:11Perhaps it's a list of men who give false hope to the poor.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16The only difference between you and me, Freddie,
0:12:16 > 0:12:18is that sometimes...
0:12:18 > 0:12:19my horses stand a chance of winning.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30You know, there are days when I hear about the cuttings
0:12:30 > 0:12:33and beatings that I really wish I'd let you take that bullet in France.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Believe me, there are nights I wish you had.

0:12:52 > 0:12:54Breathe, Danny, breathe!
0:12:54 > 0:12:57They're going to kill me! They're going to kill me!
0:12:57 > 0:12:59- DANNY SOBS - Danny!
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Danny! Danny, you're home. We're all home in England.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04You're not in France.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07You're not an artillery shell, Danny, you're a man. Eh?
0:13:07 > 0:13:11You're not a whizz bang. You're a human being, Danny.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15You're all right, you're all right, you're all right.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Up! Up!
0:13:21 > 0:13:24(It's all right, it's all right.)
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Oh, hell. Did I do it again?
0:13:32 > 0:13:33You did it again, Danny.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36DANNY SOBS
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Got to stop doing this, man.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42- It's all right. - Oh, God, Mr Shelby, I'm sorry...
0:13:42 > 0:13:46It's all right. You go home to your wife now, Danny.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Try and get all that smoke and mud out of your head, eh.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Yes, Mr Shelby. I'm sorry.
0:13:52 > 0:13:53Go on.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Mr Shelby, you have to do something about him.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Damn right, Harry.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04You pay the Peaky Blinders a lot of money for protection.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09You're the law around here now, Tommy, aren't you?
0:14:09 > 0:14:13Maybe you should put a bullet in Danny Whizz Bang's head like they do with mad horses.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Maybe you'll have to put a bullet in my head someday, too.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32Bring the bill to the Peaky Blinders. We'll take care of this.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Look at the gun.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Recognise it?
0:14:58 > 0:14:59Oof!
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Get up off your arse, you mumping pig!
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Aunt Pol! What the fuck d'you do that for?!
0:15:04 > 0:15:08Finn was playing with this this afternoon by the cut. It was loaded.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10He nearly blew Ada's tits off.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12It must've fell out of my pocket.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16He said he found it on the sideboard of the betting shop... with bullets in it.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Ma... I must've been drunk.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22When are you not drunk?
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Look, Aunt Pol, I'm sorry.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26I'm...I'm sorry.
0:15:28 > 0:15:29We'll keep this between ourselves
0:15:29 > 0:15:32if you swear not to leave guns lying around.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Look, I know having four kids without a woman is hard.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41But my boot's harder. Now, come on, we're late.
0:15:43 > 0:15:44'Right,
0:15:44 > 0:15:48'I've called this family meeting because I've got some very important news.'
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Scudboat and Lovelock got back from Belfast last night.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56They were buying a stallion to cover their mares.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58They were in a pub on the Shankhill Road yesterday,
0:15:58 > 0:16:01and in that pub, there was a copper...
0:16:02 > 0:16:04..handing out these.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10"If you're over five feet and can fight, come to Birmingham."
0:16:11 > 0:16:15They're recruiting Protestant Irishmen to come over here as Specials.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18- To do what? - To clean up the city, Ada.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20He's a Chief Inspector.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25The last four years, he's been clearing the IRA out of Belfast.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27How do you know so bloody much?
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Cos I asked the coppers on our payroll.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31And why didn't you tell me?
0:16:33 > 0:16:34I'm telling you.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39So why are they sending him to Birmingham?
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Well, there's been all these bloody strikes at the BSA...
0:16:41 > 0:16:43and the Austin works lately.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46Now the papers are talking about sedition.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48And revolution.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50I reckon it's Communists he's after.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53So this copper's going to leave us alone, right?
0:16:53 > 0:16:57There are Irishmen in Green Lanes who left Belfast to get away from him.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00They say Catholic men who crossed him used to disappear in the night.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03Yeah, but we ain't IRA. We bloody fought for the King.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08Anyway, we're Peaky Blinders. We're not scared of coppers.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12- He's right.- If they come for us, we'll cut them a smile each.
0:17:12 > 0:17:13So, Arthur...
0:17:13 > 0:17:16is that it? What do you think, Aunt Pol?
0:17:17 > 0:17:18This family does everything open.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22You've nothing more to say to this meeting, Thomas?
0:17:22 > 0:17:23No.
0:17:25 > 0:17:26Nothing that's women's business.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30This whole bloody enterprise was women's business while you boys were away at war.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32What's changed?
0:17:33 > 0:17:35We came back.
0:17:35 > 0:17:40And the Lord will smite the unholy when the great judgment comes.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43And judgment is coming, my friends.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Judgment is coming to this wicked city.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50And your wickedness and your fornication will be revealed.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53You cannot hide from the Creator.
0:17:53 > 0:18:00You cannot hide from the Almighty Himself. The Creator sees all.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04You cannot hide from the true and living God...
0:18:04 > 0:18:05Get off with yer!
0:18:15 > 0:18:16Fuck off!
0:18:29 > 0:18:32That's it, I don't go any further.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36COMMOTION AND SHOUTING
0:18:49 > 0:18:51I have ten minutes. What do you want?
0:18:56 > 0:18:57An explanation.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04I've always been able to tell when you're hiding something.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08People round here talk.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Some of them work at the BSA.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14I've been talking to the wives of factory hands.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18Detectives have been asking questions in the proofing shops.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23Nothing happens in that factory without you knowing about it.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Speak.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27God and Aunt Polly are listening.
0:19:38 > 0:19:39It was meant to be routine.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45I had a buyer in London for some...motorcycles.
0:19:45 > 0:19:50I asked my men to steal me four bikes with petrol engines.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54I'm guessing my men were drunk.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58There's a still inside the factory makes tram-line gin.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04They picked up the wrong fucking crate.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09The boys dropped it at Charlie Strong's yard as agreed.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11They must've taken it from the proofing bay
0:20:11 > 0:20:13instead of the export bay.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Holy sweet baby of Mary!
0:20:21 > 0:20:25Inside we found 25 Lewis machine guns,
0:20:25 > 0:20:2710,000 rounds of ammunition,
0:20:27 > 0:20:3250 semi-automatic rifles, 200 pistols with shells.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Jesus, Tommy!
0:20:34 > 0:20:36All bound for Libya.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Sitting right there in Charlie Strong's yard.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Tell me you threw them in the cut.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49We put 'em in the stables, out of the rain.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51The guns hadn't been greased yet.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57So that's why they sent a copper from Belfast.
0:20:59 > 0:21:00Maybe, maybe not.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06Thomas, you're a bookmaker, a robber, a fighting man,
0:21:06 > 0:21:08you're not a fool.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11You sell those guns to anyone who has use to 'em, you will hang!
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Dump them somewhere the police can find them.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23Maybe if they know they haven't fallen into the wrong hands
0:21:23 > 0:21:24this might blow over.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Tell Charlie to dump them tonight.
0:21:26 > 0:21:31No. He won't move contraband under a full moon.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Three days until it wanes.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Then you'll do the right thing?
0:21:38 > 0:21:42You have your mother's common sense, but your father's devilment.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45I see them fighting.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Let your mother win.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41I got tickets for the Penny Crush. They're showing a Tom Mix picture.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44I'm not in the mood for the pictures tonight, Ada.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Well, I'm not doing it here again. I got covered in mud last time.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Let's just walk a bit.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51If we go down as far as Greet, we could go to a pub.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54Your brothers have friends in Greet.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57They have friends everywhere. We'd have to walk to London.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00I'm with you because you're the only man round here not scared of them.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Oh, I'm scared of them all right.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05But you love me more than you fear them, right?
0:23:07 > 0:23:09I don't want to be always sneaking about.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12- Soon, we'll tell them.- When?
0:23:17 > 0:23:19How did the family meeting go?
0:23:22 > 0:23:26- Usual. There's a new copper coming. - I heard.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Hmm. And Tommy says he's after the likes of you.
0:23:28 > 0:23:34So maybe you should burn your books and stop making speeches.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Oh, my Ada.
0:23:36 > 0:23:41The only princess of the royal family of the Kingdom of Small Heath.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43I'm just a poor communist frog with a big mouth.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Give me a kiss, Princess Ada. SHE LAUGHS
0:24:33 > 0:24:35I'm here about the job as a barmaid.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40- Are you mad?- Am I what?
0:24:40 > 0:24:44- Do you know about this place? - I saw it in an advertisement.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47- Job's been filled. - It was in yesterday's paper.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Believe me, love, I'm doing you a favour.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53I'm not asking for favours, I'm asking for employment.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59You're too...nice.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03- How would you know?- And too pretty.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05They'd have you up against a wall.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09I have experience and references.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15What part of Ireland are you from?
0:25:15 > 0:25:18- Galway.- Ah!
0:25:18 > 0:25:19I worked in Dublin.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Me mother was from Galway.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27You're too pretty.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30Watch.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32And listen.
0:25:33 > 0:25:40# I wish I was in Carrickfergus
0:25:40 > 0:25:45# Only for nights in Ballygrand
0:25:45 > 0:25:52# I would swim over the deepest ocean
0:25:52 > 0:25:58# The deepest ocean my love to find
0:25:58 > 0:26:04# My boyhood friends and my own relations
0:26:04 > 0:26:10# Have all passed on now like the melting snow. #
0:26:13 > 0:26:15HE LAUGHS
0:26:15 > 0:26:19In Ireland my singing made them cry and stopped them fighting.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Well, I hope you know a lot of songs.
0:26:25 > 0:26:26CHATTER
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Babies...
0:27:14 > 0:27:19discarded...with the fish bones and eggshells.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25Girls, 11 years old...
0:27:27 > 0:27:31..pierced and punctured by old men for thruppence a time!
0:27:31 > 0:27:35Rutted upon like animals!
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Degradation.
0:27:38 > 0:27:43Fathers with their daughters, brothers and sisters sharing beds.
0:27:43 > 0:27:48Beggars and thieves left to run in the streets.
0:27:48 > 0:27:54And astride the whole stinking pile of wounds and rotten flesh...
0:27:55 > 0:27:57..your masters!
0:27:57 > 0:28:00The men who you touch your cap to.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04The Peaky Blinders!
0:28:06 > 0:28:10The vicious...merciless gangs
0:28:10 > 0:28:16who blind those that see and cut out the tongues of those who talk.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20You are worse than them!
0:28:23 > 0:28:27Those of you who have taken their bribes these years since the war,
0:28:27 > 0:28:34those of you who look the other way, you...are worse than them!
0:28:36 > 0:28:39God damn you for soiling your uniforms!
0:28:43 > 0:28:50And then...there are the IRA Fenians and the Communists.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53Blacker hearts still.
0:28:53 > 0:29:00They feed on the puss of all this corruption like maggots in a corpse.
0:29:01 > 0:29:06And like maggots, if left to swell they will eventually swarm like flies
0:29:06 > 0:29:12and spread their rotten philosophy across the country and across the world!
0:29:12 > 0:29:17Those then...are our enemies!
0:29:18 > 0:29:21A three-headed beast.
0:29:21 > 0:29:26It is my job to decapitate each one and by God I will do it!
0:29:29 > 0:29:36I don't trust any of yous until you earn my trust!
0:29:37 > 0:29:40And that takes some earning.
0:29:40 > 0:29:41DOOR OPENS
0:29:44 > 0:29:48These are the new men who will bolster your ranks.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51Good men...
0:29:51 > 0:29:54from God-fearing families.
0:29:56 > 0:30:01By the time the sun sets, they will be sworn in and in uniform.
0:30:01 > 0:30:05And by sunrise tomorrow, they will be on the streets.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11God help those who stand in our way!
0:30:14 > 0:30:17CHATTER
0:30:17 > 0:30:19Sorry, Mr Shelby.
0:30:19 > 0:30:23- Right.- Move out of the way for Mr Shelby.- Mr Shelby.- This way.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27You see, ladies,
0:30:27 > 0:30:30when you're out with a Blinder, you don't have to queue.
0:30:34 > 0:30:38Right...I want a blow job off both of you
0:30:38 > 0:30:41before they let the ordinary people in.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43Away you go. Take your hat off.
0:30:43 > 0:30:44What the fuck?!
0:30:44 > 0:30:47Who the fuck are you?!
0:30:47 > 0:30:50I'm Arthur-fucking-Shelby!
0:30:50 > 0:30:52HE GROANS
0:31:04 > 0:31:06HE GROANS
0:31:13 > 0:31:15Arthur Shelby.
0:31:15 > 0:31:19Lead pack dog of the Peaky Blinders.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22SHELBY GROANS
0:31:30 > 0:31:32Look at me.
0:31:55 > 0:31:56Bastard!
0:32:00 > 0:32:02Your uniform?
0:32:02 > 0:32:04Terrifying, I'm sure.
0:32:04 > 0:32:10- Did he have a gun?- No gun. A knife in his sock, cosh in his belt.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17Now, Mr Shelby...
0:32:17 > 0:32:23I want you to see this as me introducing myself to you.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Understand?
0:32:25 > 0:32:31In all the world the only thing that interests me is the truth.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33So...
0:32:35 > 0:32:38..what do you know about the robbery?
0:32:38 > 0:32:40What robbery?
0:32:42 > 0:32:45HE WHIMPERS
0:32:49 > 0:32:51I will ask you again.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55What do you know...about the robbery?
0:32:55 > 0:32:59I swear to God, I don't know what you're talking about.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02What fucking robbery?
0:33:03 > 0:33:06Argh!
0:33:06 > 0:33:09HE GROANS
0:33:11 > 0:33:17Aye, after 35 years of dealing with animals like you,
0:33:17 > 0:33:22I can tell just by sniffing the air...whether or not you're lying.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26I'm not fucking lying!
0:33:26 > 0:33:29All right? I'm not fucking lying!
0:33:37 > 0:33:39I know.
0:33:42 > 0:33:46I see nothing of interest behind the blood in your eyes.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49And no blood in your veins
0:33:49 > 0:33:55that could carry...even a trace of cunning or guile.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58But understand this.
0:34:00 > 0:34:07It is well within my power to have you and the rest of your scum family
0:34:07 > 0:34:10face down in the canal before the year is out.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16On the other hand...
0:34:19 > 0:34:21..we can help each other.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30LAUGHTER AND CHATTER
0:34:36 > 0:34:40- Is it always this busy on a daytime? - No. These boys are on their way to St Andrews.
0:34:40 > 0:34:44- To pray?- That'll be the day. St Andrews is a football ground.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47The Blues are playing. That's the forward line there.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50- And that's the goalie, believe it or not.- Hello!
0:34:55 > 0:34:57I need a bottle of rum.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00Grace, whatever it is, it's on the house.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03- A whole bottle?- Yeah. - White or dark rum?- Don't care.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05Right, lads, what'll it be? Two?
0:35:07 > 0:35:08Thank you.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12Harry said it's on the house.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16Are you a whore?
0:35:19 > 0:35:22Cos if you're not, you're in the wrong place.
0:35:29 > 0:35:30He's one of them you warned me about?
0:35:30 > 0:35:34Look, Grace, you're a friendly girl but be careful.
0:35:34 > 0:35:38If I say something's on the house, then say nothing to whoever you're serving.
0:35:38 > 0:35:42If they decide that they want you, then there's nothing anybody could do about it.
0:35:42 > 0:35:47Lucky for you, since he got back from France, Tommy doesn't want anybody at all.
0:35:47 > 0:35:48Yes, lads?
0:35:48 > 0:35:52HE GROANS
0:35:52 > 0:35:55- John, wipe the blood out of his eye. - Since when did you give orders?
0:35:55 > 0:35:58- I'm a trained nurse.- Don't make me laugh, it hurts me face.
0:35:58 > 0:36:02- I bloody am!- You went to one first-aid class in the church hall
0:36:02 > 0:36:04and got thrown out for giggling.
0:36:04 > 0:36:08- Not before I learnt how to stop somebody from choking. - I'm not bloody choking, am I?
0:36:08 > 0:36:11You will be when I wrap this cloth round your neck.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13Let me see him.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15All right, have this.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20- HE GROANS - Give me that.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25You're all right.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31He said Mr Churchill sent him to Birmingham.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34National interest, he said.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37Something about a robbery.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43- He said he wants us to help him. - We don't help coppers.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46He knew all about our war records.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49He said we're patriots...like him.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54He wants us to be his eyes and ears.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59- I said... - HE GROANS
0:36:59 > 0:37:04I said we'd have a family meeting and take a vote.
0:37:11 > 0:37:17Well, why not? Hmm? We've no truck with Fenians or communists.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25What's wrong with you?
0:37:25 > 0:37:27What the fuck is wrong with him lately?!
0:37:27 > 0:37:31If I knew, I'd buy the cure from Compton's Chemists.
0:37:31 > 0:37:35- CHATTER - # I am just a young girl
0:37:35 > 0:37:38# I have just come over
0:37:38 > 0:37:44# Over from the country where they do things big
0:37:44 > 0:37:47# And amongst the boys
0:37:47 > 0:37:50# I've got myself a lover
0:37:50 > 0:37:54# And since I have a lover
0:37:54 > 0:37:58# I don't care a fig
0:37:58 > 0:38:03- ALL:- # The boy I love is up in the gallery
0:38:03 > 0:38:09- # The boy I love is... - # ..looking at me
0:38:09 > 0:38:12# Can't you see him standing there
0:38:12 > 0:38:15# Waving his handkerchief
0:38:15 > 0:38:22# As merry as a robin that sings on the tree. #
0:38:30 > 0:38:32We haven't had singing in here since the war.
0:38:34 > 0:38:35Why do you think that is, Harry?
0:38:41 > 0:38:43HEAVY BREATHING
0:39:09 > 0:39:15So did Arthur say what kind of deal this new copper offered him?
0:39:16 > 0:39:20God! The second your balls are empty it's back onto politics.
0:39:28 > 0:39:29What did Tommy say?
0:39:29 > 0:39:32He didn't say anything. You know what he's like.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34Yeah, I know what he's like.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36He likes to take his fights onto the mud.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38Doesn't like to stand and wait.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41You know what he'd do if he found out about us.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43He could try.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46Sometimes, it's like you're with me just to show you can.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52One day me and Tommy will be on the same side again.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16Tommy...! Aargh.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22MEN SHOUT
0:42:08 > 0:42:11HE RANTS INCOHERENTLY
0:42:15 > 0:42:20Hey, what you do? We're closed. Go home.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24Go home, crazy man. HE RANTS INCOHERENTLY
0:42:24 > 0:42:26I said go home, crazy man!
0:42:26 > 0:42:28SPEAKS IN OWN LANGUAGE
0:42:28 > 0:42:30I said go home.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33Fix bayonets!!!
0:42:34 > 0:42:35WOMEN SCREAM
0:43:06 > 0:43:10Secretary of State, this is Chief Inspector Campbell.
0:43:15 > 0:43:20Mr Churchill, sir, may I say what a great honour it is to meet you.
0:43:20 > 0:43:23Bit of a whistle stop tour.
0:43:23 > 0:43:28- Love the hat, by the way. - Thank you. It's beaver.
0:43:30 > 0:43:32So, how are you settling in?
0:43:34 > 0:43:35I have set up a command network.
0:43:35 > 0:43:38I have agents in place across the city
0:43:38 > 0:43:41who will act as my eyes and ears.
0:43:41 > 0:43:46And I have begun to interrogate suspects vigorously.
0:43:46 > 0:43:52You were in Belfast. I understand you broke a few Fenian hearts.
0:43:52 > 0:43:54A rat's nest, sir.
0:43:54 > 0:43:58So who do you think stole the guns? Fenians or Communists?
0:43:58 > 0:44:04If it is IRA Fenians, I will find them and find the guns.
0:44:04 > 0:44:07If it is Communists, I will find them and find the guns.
0:44:07 > 0:44:11If it is common criminals, I will find them and find the guns.
0:44:11 > 0:44:14To me there are no distinction between any of the above.
0:44:17 > 0:44:19We chose you because you are effective.
0:44:19 > 0:44:23But remember this, Mr Campbell. This is England, not Belfast.
0:44:23 > 0:44:27Bodies thrown in the rivers, wash up in the papers here.
0:44:27 > 0:44:31We must keep the existence of these stolen guns out of the news
0:44:31 > 0:44:34otherwise we will simply be advertising them for sale.
0:44:35 > 0:44:42If there are bodies to be buried, dig holes and dig them deep.
0:44:44 > 0:44:47I want everything accounted for down to the last bullet.
0:45:01 > 0:45:04Uncle Charlie, a word.
0:45:04 > 0:45:07They are aboard. There's no moon.
0:45:08 > 0:45:11We can take them out to the turning point beyond Gas Street
0:45:11 > 0:45:13and leave them on the bank.
0:45:13 > 0:45:16They'll be found by railway men first thing.
0:45:22 > 0:45:24Is that agreement?
0:45:26 > 0:45:28I changed my mind.
0:45:29 > 0:45:31You what?
0:45:33 > 0:45:34I have an alternative strategy.
0:45:37 > 0:45:40Tell Curly to take her out to the old tobacco wharf.
0:45:40 > 0:45:43There's a lock up mooring we used to keep cigarettes.
0:45:43 > 0:45:45He knows it.
0:45:45 > 0:45:48When the boat leaves your yard, it's no longer your concern.
0:45:51 > 0:45:52Have you lost your fucking mind?
0:45:53 > 0:45:55Have you not seen the streets?
0:45:55 > 0:45:58They've sent a fucking army to find these things...
0:45:58 > 0:46:01That's right. They've shown their hand...
0:46:01 > 0:46:02Their hand?
0:46:02 > 0:46:05If they want them back this bad, they'll have to pay.
0:46:05 > 0:46:07That's the way of the world.
0:46:07 > 0:46:10Fortune drops something valuable in your lap,
0:46:10 > 0:46:13you don't just dump it on the bank of the cut.
0:46:14 > 0:46:17You're blood, Tommy.
0:46:17 > 0:46:20I've always looked out for you like a dad.
0:46:22 > 0:46:25You're going to bring holy hell down on your head.
0:46:27 > 0:46:29This copper takes no prisoners.
0:46:30 > 0:46:32I'm told he didn't serve.
0:46:33 > 0:46:35Reserved occupation.
0:46:38 > 0:46:41Is it another war you're looking for, Tommy?
0:46:42 > 0:46:45The tobacco wharf.
0:46:45 > 0:46:48By order of the Peaky Blinders.
0:47:19 > 0:47:20Are you in position?
0:47:23 > 0:47:25I am, sir.
0:47:26 > 0:47:28Your first impressions?
0:47:29 > 0:47:31I am quite shocked at how these people live.
0:47:35 > 0:47:37Have you found anything out that might help me?
0:47:37 > 0:47:42I interrogated the head of the Peaky Blinders. He didn't know anything.
0:47:42 > 0:47:44A brute.
0:47:44 > 0:47:47It strikes me that it isn't Arthur who heads the Shelby family.
0:47:47 > 0:47:50It is the younger one, Thomas.
0:47:52 > 0:47:56They say he won two medals for gallantry in the war.
0:47:56 > 0:47:58You sound fascinated.
0:48:01 > 0:48:04However, my opinion has not changed.
0:48:04 > 0:48:06The bookmaker gangs have other business
0:48:06 > 0:48:09and the Communists are too weak to have planned this.
0:48:11 > 0:48:14I believe the guns were taken by the IRA.
0:48:16 > 0:48:21You must not let your personal history cloud your judgment.
0:48:25 > 0:48:26What history?
0:48:28 > 0:48:33That the IRA murdered my father will not affect my judgment.
0:48:37 > 0:48:41If you see any guns, check the serial numbers against that list.
0:48:46 > 0:48:51Your father was the finest officer I ever worked with.
0:48:51 > 0:48:54I know he would be very, very proud of you.
0:49:24 > 0:49:28Danny, as you know, the man you killed was Italian.
0:49:28 > 0:49:31And those two men over there are his brothers.
0:49:34 > 0:49:37If I let the Italians do this, Danny,
0:49:37 > 0:49:41they'll cut off your manhood and let you drain.
0:49:41 > 0:49:43That's how those bastards do things.
0:49:45 > 0:49:48So, to stop a war breaking out between us and the Italians...
0:49:50 > 0:49:53..and to save you from their barbarity...
0:49:56 > 0:49:59..I said I would dispatch you myself.
0:50:00 > 0:50:02They are here to witness.
0:50:10 > 0:50:13I died over there anyway, Tommy.
0:50:13 > 0:50:16I left my fucking brains in the mud.
0:50:19 > 0:50:21You have any last requests, comrade?
0:50:27 > 0:50:30You'll look out for my Rosie and my boys?
0:50:33 > 0:50:38See they get apprenticeships. At the BSA factory or the Austin.
0:50:41 > 0:50:45They'll make foremen. I know they will.
0:50:45 > 0:50:46Just ordinary...
0:50:48 > 0:50:50Just ordinary men.
0:50:51 > 0:50:54And they won't get told to do this shit...
