0:00:02 > 0:00:04I intend to do business with Billy Kimber.
0:00:04 > 0:00:06Is there any man here named Shelby?
0:00:06 > 0:00:09I am planning an expansion. Onto the racetracks.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12It would be an honour to work with you, Mr Kimber.
0:00:12 > 0:00:15Nobody works with me.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17People work FOR me.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20'Danny, you are a good man and a good soldier.'
0:00:20 > 0:00:22Yes, Sergeant Major.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28Freddie Thorne is at the very top of my list.
0:00:28 > 0:00:32Well, cross him off. He won't be returning to this city.
0:00:32 > 0:00:33We're not going anywhere, Ada.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36We are going to stay here and we'll marry here, with our baby.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38I'm not afraid of Tommy Shelby.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Thomas, you sell those guns to anyone who has use for them,
0:00:41 > 0:00:43you will hang.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Dump them somewhere the police can find them.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47No.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51Thomas Shelby is now the beginning, middle and end of your mission.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53So what shall I do?
0:00:53 > 0:00:57You must do everything you can to get close to him.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Dig out a nice dress.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01I want to take you to the races.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03I warn you, I'll break your heart.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Already broken.
0:01:06 > 0:01:13This programme contains some violent scenes and some strong language.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16MUSIC: "Red Right Hand" by Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds
0:01:22 > 0:01:25# Take a little walk To the edge of town
0:01:25 > 0:01:27# And go across the tracks
0:01:30 > 0:01:34# Where the viaduct looms Like a bird of doom
0:01:34 > 0:01:38# As it shifts and cracks
0:01:38 > 0:01:40# Where secrets lie
0:01:40 > 0:01:42# In the border fires
0:01:42 > 0:01:45# In the humming wires
0:01:45 > 0:01:48# You know you're never coming back
0:01:48 > 0:01:53# Past the square, past the bridge Past the mills, past the stacks
0:01:54 > 0:01:59# On a gathering storm Comes a tall handsome man
0:01:59 > 0:02:03# In a dusty black coat With a red right hand... #
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Give me a bottle of whiskey and three glasses please.
0:02:06 > 0:02:07- Scotch or Irish?- Irish.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12I've decided not to go.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14To the races.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Not unless you give me two pounds, ten shillings towards the dress.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20I've already given you three.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22How much did you pay for the suit you'll be wearing?
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Oh, I don't pay for suits.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27My suits are on the house or the house burns down.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31So you want me to go looking like a flower girl?
0:02:31 > 0:02:33What I want makes no difference.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39It's not me you're dressing up for.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13You'll forgive me, Mr Shelby, if I indulge a little.
0:03:13 > 0:03:14Please.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17It takes a lot for a man from Sparkbrook
0:03:17 > 0:03:20to step inside this pub.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Anyone with money and good intentions
0:03:22 > 0:03:23is welcome in the Garrison.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Now...you said you had business.
0:03:34 > 0:03:35It's delicate, Mr Shelby.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39It's a question of who knows what about what.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44It concerns the factory down the road, at the BSA.
0:03:46 > 0:03:47As you might know,
0:03:47 > 0:03:49most of the paint shop there is Irish.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54Big old place like that, rumours get started.
0:03:54 > 0:03:55Rumours that there was a robbery.
0:03:59 > 0:04:00Robbery of what?
0:04:00 > 0:04:05Guns, Mr Shelby. A serious amount of guns.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09What business is that of mine?
0:04:09 > 0:04:13When it comes to speculation, you can't beat a factory night shift.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17Some say there was word from the proofing bay
0:04:17 > 0:04:19it was the Peaky Blinders who took them.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Your night shift must be dreaming.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25- Maybe they are. - Maybe they're not.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28What we are trying to say is, Mr Shelby,
0:04:28 > 0:04:31that if you were to hear about the whereabouts of said items...
0:04:33 > 0:04:34..we'd pay good money.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37- You have good money? - We have collections from the pubs.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42For who do you speak?
0:04:42 > 0:04:44- The people of Ireland. - The Irish Republican Army.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- For a fact? - For a fucking fact.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55You think we're jokers?
0:04:55 > 0:04:56Am I laughing?
0:05:00 > 0:05:07# Oh, father, why are you so sad
0:05:07 > 0:05:11# On this bright Easter morn'... #
0:05:11 > 0:05:12Maguire, will you shut up?
0:05:12 > 0:05:18# When Irishmen are proud and glad
0:05:18 > 0:05:22# Of the land Where they were born? #
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Maguire, away and shite man, we're trying to talk business...
0:05:25 > 0:05:29# Oh, son, I see sad mem'ries view
0:05:29 > 0:05:33# Of far-off distant days
0:05:33 > 0:05:39# When being just a boy like you
0:05:40 > 0:05:47# I joined the IRA. #
0:05:49 > 0:05:50Bravo!
0:05:51 > 0:05:54- # Where are the lads... # - All right, boys.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58If I hear anything about who knows what about what, I'll let you know.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01# Gra mo chree, I long to see
0:06:01 > 0:06:03# The boys of the old IRA... #
0:06:07 > 0:06:10I thought you only allowed singing on a Saturday.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Whiskey is good proofing water.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14It tells you who's real and who isn't.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16And what did my countrymen want?
0:06:16 > 0:06:17They're nobodies.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20They drink in The Black Swan in Sparkbrook.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23They're only rebels because they like the songs.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25You have sympathies with them?
0:06:25 > 0:06:27I have no sympathies of any description.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Their accents were so thick,
0:06:29 > 0:06:31it's a wonder you could understand them.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34- Next time, I could translate. - You'd work for me?
0:06:35 > 0:06:39- I thought I already was. - So you are coming to the races?
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Two pounds, ten shillings.
0:06:47 > 0:06:48Ten shillings.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Buy something red.
0:06:52 > 0:06:53To match his handkerchief.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Whose handkerchief?
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Ada, what the hell?
0:07:21 > 0:07:24I dared myself to run through their territory in my dress.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- Are you mad?- Yeah. Mad as hell with all of them.
0:07:27 > 0:07:28I love you.
0:07:31 > 0:07:32I love you too.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34The more they try to stop us, the madder I'll be.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36- Come on, princess, the vicar's waiting.- Wait...
0:07:38 > 0:07:39How do I look?
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Like an angel.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57KNOCKING ON THE DOOR
0:07:57 > 0:07:58DOOR OPENS
0:08:01 > 0:08:02Moss?
0:08:04 > 0:08:07What do we know about The Black Swan?
0:08:07 > 0:08:10An operative has provided intelligence
0:08:10 > 0:08:13that it is a place where IRA men gather.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16It's just a lot of drunken navigators singing songs, sir.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20The IRA wouldn't go near them.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Then why are two of them looking to buy guns?
0:08:25 > 0:08:26Do you have names?
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Must she do everything for you?
0:08:30 > 0:08:31"She", sir?
0:08:31 > 0:08:36One female operative has proved more useful
0:08:36 > 0:08:38than any of you great lumps of men.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44We are regular police officers, sir. Not spies.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47We can only act when a crime has been committed.
0:08:47 > 0:08:52Perhaps I should send some men down to The Black Swan to ask questions.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54And scare them all into hiding?
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Not the best of tactics, Sergeant.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59My tactics come from my experiences in France.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04Most of my great lumps of men served in France too, sir.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10I serve my country every day.
0:09:12 > 0:09:13That will be all, Sergeant.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25IRISH FIDDLE TUNE PLAYS
0:10:03 > 0:10:04DOG BARKS
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Away and shite!
0:10:43 > 0:10:44Fancy me, do ya?
0:10:46 > 0:10:48What are you? A copper?
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Oh!
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Proddy bitch!
0:10:54 > 0:10:58I've seen you. I've seen your face, serving in the Garrison.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Come here...
0:11:00 > 0:11:04I am taking you in for interrogation on behalf of the Irish Free State.
0:11:06 > 0:11:07GUNSHOT
0:11:28 > 0:11:30DOOR OPENS
0:11:30 > 0:11:32All right?
0:11:34 > 0:11:35Are you armed?
0:11:37 > 0:11:38No.
0:11:40 > 0:11:41Then I'll tell you.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Ada and Freddie Thorne were married today.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49They defied your orders, they haven't left the city.
0:12:02 > 0:12:03I'll deal with it.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Thomas...I'll deal with it.
0:12:11 > 0:12:12Where are they?
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Freddie's comrades have safe houses. Why do you want to know?
0:12:16 > 0:12:18I want to send them flowers. Why do you think?
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Would it be so bad if they stayed?
0:12:22 > 0:12:24I promised I'd run Freddie out of town.
0:12:26 > 0:12:27Promised who?
0:12:39 > 0:12:41I told the coppers Freddie wouldn't come back.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43It's part of the deal.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45What bloody deal?
0:12:45 > 0:12:49What happened to family votes? What happened to meetings?
0:12:51 > 0:12:53If you let me deal with Ada and Freddie,
0:12:53 > 0:12:55it'll end in peace.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Christ knows you've had your fill of war.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09You get Freddie out of town, Poll.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Or else I'll deal with it myself.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26SHE VOMITS
0:14:09 > 0:14:12The victim had been drinking in The Black Swan pub, sir -
0:14:12 > 0:14:14the pub you told me about.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16And a neighbour said she saw a young woman
0:14:16 > 0:14:18leaving the street where the body was found.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24A woman, sir. I was wondering if there was a connection.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27A connection with what, Sergeant?
0:14:27 > 0:14:31You said your spy was a woman, sir.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33I wondered if now there was now a policy.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41Shoot to kill. Like there was in Belfast.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46The Republicans are famously factional.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49He was killed by one of his own.
0:14:51 > 0:14:52That will be all, Sergeant.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58And they're not called spies.
0:14:58 > 0:14:59They're called operatives.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01Operatives, sir. Right, sir.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08- < It's how you say things.- Yeah...
0:15:11 > 0:15:14What the bloody hell is she doing here?
0:15:14 > 0:15:15£200, Freddie.
0:15:18 > 0:15:19For what?
0:15:19 > 0:15:24For us. For a honeymoon that goes on for ever.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31- Where did it come from? - Family fund.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34The pockets of widows and desperate men.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36See sense, Freddie.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Tommy is not going to let this rest.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42Times like these, a communist in the family is bad for business.
0:15:42 > 0:15:43You have to leave the city.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47- You think I can't handle Tommy Shelby?- You can't.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50I'm having trouble these days and I'm twice the man you are.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52HE SCOFFS
0:15:54 > 0:15:55I went into town.
0:15:57 > 0:15:58The Cunard office.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02I booked you both tickets on the next boat
0:16:02 > 0:16:04from Liverpool to New York.
0:16:04 > 0:16:05America, Freddie.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07They've already had their revolution.
0:16:07 > 0:16:08You won't have to bother.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19Will you ladies at least let a man sleep on it?
0:16:52 > 0:16:54You had no business...
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Observe and report. That is your remit.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02I decided we needed to know where he lived.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06I warned you not to let your personal history
0:17:06 > 0:17:07cloud your judgment.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09You went after him because he was IRA.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12I followed him because I thought he might have information.
0:17:13 > 0:17:14According to the rules,
0:17:14 > 0:17:17I should pull you out of Garrison Lane immediately.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19No. Cheltenham is tomorrow.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23You take too much upon yourself.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29This is an active military mission - your words.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31I'm doing my job.
0:17:31 > 0:17:36Grace, the death of a base Fenian doesn't concern me.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Your welfare does.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Killing a man affects the heart.
0:17:44 > 0:17:45And as for my heart...
0:17:46 > 0:17:49I know that because of our family connections,
0:17:49 > 0:17:51you take my progress personally.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54But I don't need you to be my father.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59I will be thinking of you.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27- Mr Shelby, sir.- Mr Zhang.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33That suit is sold, sir. It's being collected this morning.
0:18:33 > 0:18:34I know.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Please, gentlemen. No fighting in here.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44It's all right. I come as a friend.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49You're collecting your suit for Cheltenham - it's very nice.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53- How the bloody hell do you know? - I know a lot of things, Mr Kimber.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57And as I told you before, I know the Lee brothers.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00And I know they're going to be at the Cheltenham races as well.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03They're going to lose a lot of money on fast women and slow nags.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07No. They're planning on showing up in numbers and robbing your bookies.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Running chalk and rafflers.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11You think I can't handle the Lees?
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Just a word of warning from a friend. That's all.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19I'll see you at Cheltenham.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21I'll wave at you from my box.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25If you're coming to the races, bring that pretty barmaid of yours.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Already invited.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32CHEERING
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Comrades -
0:19:35 > 0:19:39as you know, to even gather like this today is illegal.
0:19:39 > 0:19:44Chief Inspector Campbell has ordered that we are not allowed to assemble
0:19:44 > 0:19:46in groups of more than three people.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48So, to comply with the law,
0:19:48 > 0:19:51please now clump together in groups of three.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53LAUGHTER
0:19:53 > 0:19:54WHISTLE BLOWS
0:19:54 > 0:19:56You hear that, boys?
0:19:56 > 0:19:59The same whistles they used to blow to send us over the top,
0:19:59 > 0:20:02they now blow to try and break us up.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04So before the Specials get here,
0:20:04 > 0:20:07raise a hand, all those who want to strike...
0:20:07 > 0:20:10THEY CHEER
0:20:10 > 0:20:15Now disperse! Disperse and take the message home!
0:20:15 > 0:20:18United, we will never be defeated!
0:20:18 > 0:20:20APPLAUSE
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Tommy! Oi, Tommy.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33What the hell's been happening?
0:20:33 > 0:20:35The police had just raided a rally at the factory.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37You thinking Freddie Thorne's back?
0:20:37 > 0:20:39I know he is. And he's with Ada.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42How hard can it be to find the only girl in Birmingham
0:20:42 > 0:20:43with four-inch heels, eh?
0:20:43 > 0:20:45She's with the commies.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48They have little rat holes all over the city.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51I just want to know where she is.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Tommy, you'd best have a word with Arthur as well.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56What's wrong with bloody Arthur?
0:20:56 > 0:20:58He's got the Flanders blues again.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41People keep asking me questions that I don't know the answer to.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48"Is it true your Ada got married?"
0:21:51 > 0:21:52I say, "I don't know."
0:21:54 > 0:21:56"Where is she living now?"

0:22:02 > 0:22:03"Arthur...
0:22:06 > 0:22:08"..who killed the Paddy from The Black Swan?"
0:22:11 > 0:22:13I go, "What Paddy?"
0:22:18 > 0:22:19They say...
0:22:21 > 0:22:28.."Is it you, Peaky Blinders, who stole the guns from the BSA?"
0:22:36 > 0:22:37What guns, Tommy?
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Arthur, after your beating, I thought you needed a break...
0:22:43 > 0:22:46What bloody guns, Tommy?!
0:22:48 > 0:22:51- Arthur, I was going to tell you. - You were going to tell me.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Arthur, listen to me.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58You've had a hard time these past few years.
0:22:58 > 0:22:59God knows you have.
0:23:00 > 0:23:01You deserve some rest.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08We had some luck. Some bloody luck.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12It fell off a wagon into our laps.
0:23:12 > 0:23:17And all you need to know is, it's us that has the machine guns now.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19And it's them that's in the mud.
0:23:21 > 0:23:22All right?
0:23:30 > 0:23:34Come on. I have a surprise for you.

0:24:00 > 0:24:02A surprise? Where is she?
0:24:05 > 0:24:10What is it you've always wanted, Arthur? Eh?
0:24:10 > 0:24:13When we were in France, you used to say,
0:24:13 > 0:24:17"When I get back to England, I want to own my own pub."
0:24:19 > 0:24:20Well...
0:24:25 > 0:24:28You've gone soft. You've gone soft, Tommy.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33How do we know it's for sale?
0:24:33 > 0:24:37Everything's for sale to us, Arthur.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40We're making a lot of money these days.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43We need a legitimate business to pass the money from the shop.
0:24:45 > 0:24:46I wouldn't know what to do.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50You've spent two-thirds of your life in pubs.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Just pour it instead of drinking it.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56But I can still drink it, right?
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Your pub - you do what you want.
0:25:02 > 0:25:07Ah - sorry, gentlemen, I didn't hear you come in.

0:25:34 > 0:25:37Mr Campbell wants an explanation.
0:25:37 > 0:25:42Today, some rabble-rouser Union man brought the BSA out on strike.
0:25:44 > 0:25:45It was Freddie Thorne.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49I thought you promised he wouldn't come back.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52I know he's in town. I'm dealing with it.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Inspector Campbell thought you controlled your territories.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Yeah.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00I said I'm dealing with it.
0:26:02 > 0:26:03I heard that, er...
0:26:05 > 0:26:07..Freddie married your sister.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Some family you've got, eh?
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Bet you can't wait for Christmas.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Deliver Freddie Thorne to us
0:26:16 > 0:26:19or we'll take your sister in as an accomplice.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21She'll get four years for sedition.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Or you can turn him in and your sister goes free.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37I'll say good night then, Tom.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Have you seen Freddie Thorne?
0:27:06 > 0:27:08- No.- Or Tommy? Ahh!
0:27:24 > 0:27:26- I have to find Freddie. - Drink this first.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29No, I have to find them, I think they are going to kill each other.
0:27:29 > 0:27:30Who is going to kill who?
0:27:32 > 0:27:34We need to talk.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43What exactly is it that you want, Freddie?
0:27:44 > 0:27:45I came to tell you...
0:27:49 > 0:27:51..that's not going to work, Tommy.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57Polly came round. She gave me that.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03Well, Polly must have had a rush of blood.
0:28:03 > 0:28:04Or port wine.
0:28:06 > 0:28:07Your honesty is appreciated.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09Now, if you're not going to use that thing...
0:28:09 > 0:28:11I'm not finished. Sit down.
0:28:13 > 0:28:14Sit down. Sit.
0:28:20 > 0:28:21Talk to me about the guns.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26Do you remember we used to jump in here,
0:28:26 > 0:28:29- see who could swim the fastest...? - I'm here to talk business, Tommy.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34Do you reckon we could still do it?
0:28:38 > 0:28:39Ah!
0:28:49 > 0:28:53You loaded Ada with your bastard because she's a Shelby.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56You thought it'd mean you'd be somebody.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01I won't let you fuck up my sister's life for your cause.
0:29:06 > 0:29:07My God.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14You actually believe that.
0:29:21 > 0:29:22I love her, Tommy.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27I've loved her since she was nine and I was 12.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31And she loves me the same.
0:29:39 > 0:29:40You even know the word?
0:29:44 > 0:29:46This marriage will not stand.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58Shh...
0:30:18 > 0:30:21Freddie didn't want your money.
0:30:22 > 0:30:26And now the coppers are saying if we don't turn Freddie in,
0:30:26 > 0:30:28they'll put Ada on the arrest warrant as well.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31That's where your compassion gets you, Poll.
0:30:31 > 0:30:36From now on, we do it my way.
0:30:36 > 0:30:37Or what?
0:31:16 > 0:31:17Ready?
0:31:18 > 0:31:19They're getting closer.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27- I'll lead.- Watch yourself, Danny. - Tommy.

0:33:04 > 0:33:07So, what news from London?
0:33:07 > 0:33:10I was in a pub - it was called Mother Redcap.
0:33:10 > 0:33:11An Irish pub.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15I got talking to some old bloke about Birmingham.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19He said there's been trouble. An IRA man shot.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24He said a lot, but the only bit I heard...was that their high command
0:33:24 > 0:33:26think it's the Peaky Blinders who shot him.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30Came up on the next boat to warn you.

0:33:42 > 0:33:43Get a message to them.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47Tell them to send someone to parley.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49Tell them there's been a misunderstanding
0:33:49 > 0:33:50and we don't want any trouble.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56You've got enough trouble - right, Tommy?

0:34:22 > 0:34:23Yeah...
0:34:25 > 0:34:26..and we fucking volunteered.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43Sometimes, it lasts all night.
0:34:46 > 0:34:53I lie here and I listen to the shovels and the picks

0:34:59 > 0:35:02And I pray the sun will come up at the curtains

0:36:57 > 0:36:59She's all right, but in her condition,

0:37:07 > 0:37:08She talked about you.

0:39:35 > 0:39:38So will it get me all the way to Cheltenham, Curly?
0:39:38 > 0:39:40He's good with motors, but it pains him.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43No heart in motorcars. I can't talk with them.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46Yeah - Tommy might need to make a fast getaway.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48The Lees will be all over the track.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51And Kimber's men. And his coppers.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53They control the law down there, Tommy.

0:41:05 > 0:41:0760 miles down that road is Cheltenham racetrack.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10Johnny, what's our mission, boy?
0:41:10 > 0:41:13To stick it to the Lee family, Arthur.
0:41:13 > 0:41:18That's right. The Lees are skimming money off legal bookies.
0:41:18 > 0:41:23Running chalk, selling rafflers, beating up them as won't buy.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26But today, we're going to stop them.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29What about Kimber's men? I thought he had his own protection.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31Kimber's let his troops go rotten.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36They're on the take from the Lees to look the other way.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39We are going to show Kimber how it should be done.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41Now take what you're good at.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44Those of you with guns, keep them out of it,
0:41:44 > 0:41:45unless a gun is pulled on you.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47We want this done quietly.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52So when do we share out the cash?
0:41:52 > 0:41:55We don't. We're not keeping the cash.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58You're in Tommy's army now, boys.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00Trust only kin.
0:42:02 > 0:42:03Let's go.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25Are you sure we're allowed in here?
0:42:25 > 0:42:28Well, I prefer to come to the races the back way.
0:42:28 > 0:42:33It keeps me out of trouble. Tracks are lawless places.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35I can't stand petty criminals. This way.
0:42:35 > 0:42:39- Will we get to lay a bet? - No - gambling is for mugs.
0:42:39 > 0:42:40This way...
0:42:40 > 0:42:42You're lucky you're with me
0:42:42 > 0:42:45or you'd be wasting your money on fixed races.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47I always wondered, how do you fix a race?
0:42:47 > 0:42:48How should I know?
0:42:51 > 0:42:54- OK, you do the talking.- What?
0:42:54 > 0:42:57Tell security you are Lady Sarah Duggan...

0:46:56 > 0:46:59- My gosh. You're serious. - I'm always serious.
0:47:02 > 0:47:05We chased the Lees across the track, right the way down the Devon road.
0:47:05 > 0:47:07We got every penny back.
0:47:08 > 0:47:11Nice dress. You can wear that to my pub.
0:47:11 > 0:47:14Buy the boys a drink. Anybody hurt?

0:47:16 > 0:47:18Off we go, Lady Sarah.

0:47:38 > 0:47:41Rescued from the Lee brothers
0:47:41 > 0:47:45and returned to you with a request for a fair hearing.

0:47:54 > 0:47:58you contract out your racetrack security to the Peaky Blinders.
0:47:59 > 0:48:02We would be saving you a lot of money, Mr Kimber.
0:48:02 > 0:48:04A lot of money.
0:48:04 > 0:48:05In return, you give us...
0:48:07 > 0:48:09..5% of the take
0:48:09 > 0:48:12and three legal betting pitches
0:48:12 > 0:48:14at every race meeting north of the River Severn,
0:48:14 > 0:48:16rising to six after one year
0:48:16 > 0:48:19if we are all satisfied with the service.
0:48:21 > 0:48:22What do you say, Mr Kimber?
0:48:27 > 0:48:30I say you talk business to my accountant.
0:48:30 > 0:48:31I want to dance.
0:48:43 > 0:48:46Your man said it was all right for me to have this dance.
0:49:09 > 0:49:12How many men can you put in the field at one time?
0:49:12 > 0:49:14There's a lot of men out of work at the moment.
0:49:14 > 0:49:17- Two guards for every bookie. - At every meeting?
0:49:19 > 0:49:23We have contacts with good people among the gypsies.
0:49:23 > 0:49:26We'll always know where the Lees plan to attack.
0:49:26 > 0:49:30With all the strikes and troubles, you can't depend on the police.
0:49:30 > 0:49:33Anyway...we're more honest.
0:49:34 > 0:49:36Looks like you two are making a deal.
0:49:36 > 0:49:38We are making progress.
0:49:40 > 0:49:43Then let me throw a small condition into the mix.
0:49:59 > 0:50:03So, listen...we're going to go for dinner at Kimber's house.
0:50:03 > 0:50:06He has a place a couple of miles away.
0:50:06 > 0:50:09I have some business to settle first with his accountant, so...
0:50:09 > 0:50:11You go on ahead, with Kimber.
0:50:12 > 0:50:14Just me and him?
0:50:14 > 0:50:18Yeah...until I'm done here. Is that all right?
0:50:21 > 0:50:24I'll throw in an extra three quid for your extra time.
0:50:26 > 0:50:28You think I'm a whore?
0:50:30 > 0:50:33Everybody's a whore, Grace.
0:50:33 > 0:50:35We just sell different parts of ourselves.
0:50:35 > 0:50:37You said you wanted to work for me.
0:50:37 > 0:50:39To do that, you have to sharpen up.
0:50:39 > 0:50:42The deal is I give him two hours with you.
0:50:42 > 0:50:45He thinks he's a ladies' man. He thinks he can seduce you.
0:50:45 > 0:50:48Whenever you want, just kick him in the balls.
0:50:48 > 0:50:50I'm a clause in a contract.
0:50:50 > 0:50:52If you want to be part of my organisation,
0:50:52 > 0:50:54you have to make sacrifices.
0:50:57 > 0:50:59Do we have a deal?
0:50:59 > 0:51:01As a sweetener, you can try your luck with mine.
0:51:03 > 0:51:06- Yes, we have a deal. - Two hours?- Yeah.
0:51:06 > 0:51:09Side bet. Ten pounds says I'll have her fucked in one.
0:51:11 > 0:51:12Mademoiselle.
0:51:23 > 0:51:25I bet he said you could have me, didn't he?
0:51:27 > 0:51:29While he has her.
0:51:29 > 0:51:31That's the arrangement, isn't it?
0:51:34 > 0:51:36Yours might be a prostitute,
0:51:36 > 0:51:37but I'm not.
0:51:38 > 0:51:40I was a milliner when I met him.
0:51:41 > 0:51:43I was independent.
0:51:46 > 0:51:47I made this hat.
0:51:49 > 0:51:50I was a good milliner.
0:51:51 > 0:51:53It's a very pretty hat.
0:51:55 > 0:51:56It really is.
0:52:07 > 0:52:08So is she a prostitute?
0:52:10 > 0:52:13God's honest truth?
0:52:13 > 0:52:14I don't know what she is.
0:52:23 > 0:52:26You showed me up back there at the races.
0:52:29 > 0:52:32Why don't you teach me how to dance properly?
0:52:33 > 0:52:36The music is too slow. Put on a Charleston.
0:52:36 > 0:52:39Then we'd be far away. I want to dance like this.
0:52:41 > 0:52:43Come on. You weren't so stiff back there, were you?
0:52:45 > 0:52:47You ever been in a house this big?
0:52:48 > 0:52:50Hm?
0:52:51 > 0:52:52Look at you.
0:52:55 > 0:52:58You look like a bloody film star.
0:53:02 > 0:53:03I want a cigarette.
0:53:15 > 0:53:18Oh, look, I dropped something. Pick it up.
0:53:18 > 0:53:19Pick it up yourself.
0:53:19 > 0:53:20You're a fucking barmaid.
0:53:20 > 0:53:23If I drop a glass on the floor, you pick it up.
0:53:23 > 0:53:25I want to watch you pick it up.
0:53:29 > 0:53:33Right, you little slag. I have tried to be nice.
0:53:34 > 0:53:38If I drop a glass on the floor,
0:53:38 > 0:53:42you bend over and fucking pick up the fucking glass, OK?
0:53:42 > 0:53:44- What?!- No, sir...no.
0:53:44 > 0:53:47What are you doing here? I've got another hour.
0:53:47 > 0:53:51Just wait - listen to me. Just listen to me.
0:53:51 > 0:53:54I was going to let you go through with it, but in the end,
0:53:54 > 0:53:56my conscience got the better of me.
0:53:56 > 0:53:57She looks good on the outside...
0:54:00 > 0:54:01..but she has the clap.
0:54:04 > 0:54:06Yeah. Syphilis.
0:54:07 > 0:54:09When you took a shine to her, I thought I'd use her.
0:54:09 > 0:54:12Somebody told me she had syph and I thought, "What the hell?"
0:54:15 > 0:54:16Call it my better nature.
0:54:18 > 0:54:19She's...she's a whore.
0:54:25 > 0:54:28- Just go and wait in the car. - I can walk on my own!
0:54:33 > 0:54:35Can we shake hands and forget this ever happened?
0:55:00 > 0:55:02Start of the day, I was Lady Sarah of Connemara.
0:55:04 > 0:55:07By the end, I was a whore with the clap.
0:55:09 > 0:55:12You're a fucking bastard, offering me like that.
0:55:18 > 0:55:19But then you changed your mind.
0:55:24 > 0:55:26Why did you change your mind, Thomas?
0:55:48 > 0:55:51# Take a little walk To the edge of town
0:55:51 > 0:55:53# And go across the tracks
0:55:55 > 0:56:00# Where the viaduct looms Like a bird of doom
0:56:00 > 0:56:04# As it shifts and cracks... #
