I intend to do business with Billy Kimber.

0:00:020:00:04

Is there any man here named Shelby?

0:00:040:00:06

I am planning an expansion. Onto the racetracks.

0:00:060:00:09

It would be an honour to work with you, Mr Kimber.

0:00:090:00:12

Nobody works with me.

0:00:120:00:15

People work FOR me.

0:00:150:00:17

'Danny, you are a good man and a good soldier.'

0:00:170:00:20

Yes, Sergeant Major.

0:00:200:00:22

Freddie Thorne is at the very top of my list.

0:00:250:00:28

Well, cross him off. He won't be returning to this city.

0:00:280:00:32

We're not going anywhere, Ada.

0:00:320:00:33

We are going to stay here and we'll marry here, with our baby.

0:00:330:00:36

I'm not afraid of Tommy Shelby.

0:00:360:00:38

Thomas, you sell those guns to anyone who has use for them,

0:00:380:00:41

you will hang.

0:00:410:00:43

Dump them somewhere the police can find them.

0:00:430:00:45

No.

0:00:450:00:47

Thomas Shelby is now the beginning, middle and end of your mission.

0:00:470:00:51

So what shall I do?

0:00:510:00:53

You must do everything you can to get close to him.

0:00:530:00:57

Dig out a nice dress.

0:00:570:00:59

I want to take you to the races.

0:00:590:01:01

I warn you, I'll break your heart.

0:01:010:01:03

Already broken.

0:01:040:01:06

This programme contains some violent scenes and some strong language.

0:01:060:01:13

MUSIC: "Red Right Hand" by Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds

0:01:130:01:16

# Take a little walk To the edge of town

0:01:220:01:25

# And go across the tracks

0:01:250:01:27

# Where the viaduct looms Like a bird of doom

0:01:300:01:34

# As it shifts and cracks

0:01:340:01:38

# Where secrets lie

0:01:380:01:40

# In the border fires

0:01:400:01:42

# In the humming wires

0:01:420:01:45

# You know you're never coming back

0:01:450:01:48

# Past the square, past the bridge Past the mills, past the stacks

0:01:480:01:53

# On a gathering storm Comes a tall handsome man

0:01:540:01:59

# In a dusty black coat With a red right hand... #

0:01:590:02:03

Give me a bottle of whiskey and three glasses please.

0:02:030:02:06

-Scotch or Irish?

-Irish.

0:02:060:02:07

I've decided not to go.

0:02:100:02:12

To the races.

0:02:120:02:14

Not unless you give me two pounds, ten shillings towards the dress.

0:02:140:02:17

I've already given you three.

0:02:180:02:20

How much did you pay for the suit you'll be wearing?

0:02:200:02:22

Oh, I don't pay for suits.

0:02:220:02:24

My suits are on the house or the house burns down.

0:02:240:02:27

So you want me to go looking like a flower girl?

0:02:280:02:31

What I want makes no difference.

0:02:310:02:33

It's not me you're dressing up for.

0:02:370:02:39

You'll forgive me, Mr Shelby, if I indulge a little.

0:03:100:03:13

Please.

0:03:130:03:14

It takes a lot for a man from Sparkbrook

0:03:150:03:17

to step inside this pub.

0:03:170:03:20

Anyone with money and good intentions

0:03:200:03:22

is welcome in the Garrison.

0:03:220:03:23

Now...you said you had business.

0:03:270:03:30

It's delicate, Mr Shelby.

0:03:340:03:35

It's a question of who knows what about what.

0:03:370:03:39

It concerns the factory down the road, at the BSA.

0:03:410:03:44

As you might know,

0:03:460:03:47

most of the paint shop there is Irish.

0:03:470:03:49

Big old place like that, rumours get started.

0:03:500:03:54

Rumours that there was a robbery.

0:03:540:03:55

Robbery of what?

0:03:590:04:00

Guns, Mr Shelby. A serious amount of guns.

0:04:000:04:05

What business is that of mine?

0:04:070:04:09

When it comes to speculation, you can't beat a factory night shift.

0:04:090:04:13

Some say there was word from the proofing bay

0:04:130:04:17

it was the Peaky Blinders who took them.

0:04:170:04:19

Your night shift must be dreaming.

0:04:200:04:23

-Maybe they are.

-Maybe they're not.

0:04:230:04:25

What we are trying to say is, Mr Shelby,

0:04:250:04:28

that if you were to hear about the whereabouts of said items...

0:04:280:04:31

..we'd pay good money.

0:04:330:04:34

-You have good money?

-We have collections from the pubs.

0:04:340:04:37

For who do you speak?

0:04:400:04:42

-The people of Ireland.

-The Irish Republican Army.

0:04:420:04:44

-For a fact?

-For a fucking fact.

0:04:440:04:47

You think we're jokers?

0:04:530:04:55

Am I laughing?

0:04:550:04:56

# Oh, father, why are you so sad

0:05:000:05:07

# On this bright Easter morn'... #

0:05:070:05:11

Maguire, will you shut up?

0:05:110:05:12

# When Irishmen are proud and glad

0:05:120:05:18

# Of the land Where they were born? #

0:05:180:05:22

Maguire, away and shite man, we're trying to talk business...

0:05:220:05:25

# Oh, son, I see sad mem'ries view

0:05:250:05:29

# Of far-off distant days

0:05:290:05:33

# When being just a boy like you

0:05:330:05:39

# I joined the IRA. #

0:05:400:05:47

Bravo!

0:05:490:05:50

-# Where are the lads... #

-All right, boys.

0:05:510:05:54

If I hear anything about who knows what about what, I'll let you know.

0:05:540:05:58

# Gra mo chree, I long to see

0:05:580:06:01

# The boys of the old IRA... #

0:06:010:06:03

I thought you only allowed singing on a Saturday.

0:06:070:06:10

Whiskey is good proofing water.

0:06:100:06:12

It tells you who's real and who isn't.

0:06:120:06:14

And what did my countrymen want?

0:06:140:06:16

They're nobodies.

0:06:160:06:17

They drink in The Black Swan in Sparkbrook.

0:06:180:06:20

They're only rebels because they like the songs.

0:06:200:06:23

You have sympathies with them?

0:06:230:06:25

I have no sympathies of any description.

0:06:250:06:27

Their accents were so thick,

0:06:270:06:29

it's a wonder you could understand them.

0:06:290:06:31

-Next time, I could translate.

-You'd work for me?

0:06:310:06:34

-I thought I already was.

-So you are coming to the races?

0:06:350:06:39

Two pounds, ten shillings.

0:06:410:06:43

Ten shillings.

0:06:470:06:48

Buy something red.

0:06:500:06:52

To match his handkerchief.

0:06:520:06:53

Whose handkerchief?

0:06:530:06:55

Ada, what the hell?

0:07:190:07:21

I dared myself to run through their territory in my dress.

0:07:210:07:24

-Are you mad?

-Yeah. Mad as hell with all of them.

0:07:240:07:27

I love you.

0:07:270:07:28

I love you too.

0:07:310:07:32

The more they try to stop us, the madder I'll be.

0:07:320:07:34

-Come on, princess, the vicar's waiting.

-Wait...

0:07:340:07:36

How do I look?

0:07:380:07:39

Like an angel.

0:07:440:07:46

KNOCKING ON THE DOOR

0:07:550:07:57

DOOR OPENS

0:07:570:07:58

Moss?

0:08:010:08:02

What do we know about The Black Swan?

0:08:040:08:07

An operative has provided intelligence

0:08:070:08:10

that it is a place where IRA men gather.

0:08:100:08:13

It's just a lot of drunken navigators singing songs, sir.

0:08:130:08:16

The IRA wouldn't go near them.

0:08:170:08:20

Then why are two of them looking to buy guns?

0:08:200:08:22

Do you have names?

0:08:250:08:26

Must she do everything for you?

0:08:280:08:30

"She", sir?

0:08:300:08:31

One female operative has proved more useful

0:08:310:08:36

than any of you great lumps of men.

0:08:360:08:38

We are regular police officers, sir. Not spies.

0:08:400:08:44

We can only act when a crime has been committed.

0:08:450:08:47

Perhaps I should send some men down to The Black Swan to ask questions.

0:08:470:08:52

And scare them all into hiding?

0:08:520:08:54

Not the best of tactics, Sergeant.

0:08:540:08:56

My tactics come from my experiences in France.

0:08:560:08:59

Most of my great lumps of men served in France too, sir.

0:09:000:09:04

I serve my country every day.

0:09:070:09:10

That will be all, Sergeant.

0:09:120:09:13

IRISH FIDDLE TUNE PLAYS

0:09:230:09:25

DOG BARKS

0:10:030:10:04

Away and shite!

0:10:040:10:06

Fancy me, do ya?

0:10:430:10:44

What are you? A copper?

0:10:460:10:48

Oh!

0:10:490:10:51

Proddy bitch!

0:10:510:10:53

I've seen you. I've seen your face, serving in the Garrison.

0:10:540:10:58

Come here...

0:10:580:11:00

I am taking you in for interrogation on behalf of the Irish Free State.

0:11:000:11:04

GUNSHOT

0:11:060:11:07

DOOR OPENS

0:11:280:11:30

All right?

0:11:300:11:32

Are you armed?

0:11:340:11:35

No.

0:11:370:11:38

Then I'll tell you.

0:11:400:11:41

Ada and Freddie Thorne were married today.

0:11:440:11:46

They defied your orders, they haven't left the city.

0:11:460:11:49

I'll deal with it.

0:12:020:12:03

Thomas...I'll deal with it.

0:12:060:12:09

Where are they?

0:12:110:12:12

Freddie's comrades have safe houses. Why do you want to know?

0:12:130:12:16

I want to send them flowers. Why do you think?

0:12:160:12:18

Would it be so bad if they stayed?

0:12:180:12:20

I promised I'd run Freddie out of town.

0:12:220:12:24

Promised who?

0:12:260:12:27

I told the coppers Freddie wouldn't come back.

0:12:390:12:41

It's part of the deal.

0:12:410:12:43

What bloody deal?

0:12:430:12:45

What happened to family votes? What happened to meetings?

0:12:450:12:49

If you let me deal with Ada and Freddie,

0:12:510:12:53

it'll end in peace.

0:12:530:12:55

Christ knows you've had your fill of war.

0:12:580:13:00

You get Freddie out of town, Poll.

0:13:060:13:09

Or else I'll deal with it myself.

0:13:090:13:11

SHE VOMITS

0:13:240:13:26

The victim had been drinking in The Black Swan pub, sir -

0:14:090:14:12

the pub you told me about.

0:14:120:14:14

And a neighbour said she saw a young woman

0:14:140:14:16

leaving the street where the body was found.

0:14:160:14:18

A woman, sir. I was wondering if there was a connection.

0:14:200:14:24

A connection with what, Sergeant?

0:14:240:14:27

You said your spy was a woman, sir.

0:14:270:14:31

I wondered if now there was now a policy.

0:14:310:14:33

Shoot to kill. Like there was in Belfast.

0:14:370:14:41

The Republicans are famously factional.

0:14:430:14:46

He was killed by one of his own.

0:14:460:14:49

That will be all, Sergeant.

0:14:510:14:52

And they're not called spies.

0:14:550:14:58

They're called operatives.

0:14:580:14:59

Operatives, sir. Right, sir.

0:14:590:15:01

-< It's how you say things.

-Yeah...

0:15:060:15:08

What the bloody hell is she doing here?

0:15:110:15:14

£200, Freddie.

0:15:140:15:15

For what?

0:15:180:15:19

For us. For a honeymoon that goes on for ever.

0:15:190:15:24

-Where did it come from?

-Family fund.

0:15:290:15:31

The pockets of widows and desperate men.

0:15:310:15:34

See sense, Freddie.

0:15:340:15:36

Tommy is not going to let this rest.

0:15:360:15:38

Times like these, a communist in the family is bad for business.

0:15:380:15:42

You have to leave the city.

0:15:420:15:43

-You think I can't handle Tommy Shelby?

-You can't.

0:15:430:15:47

I'm having trouble these days and I'm twice the man you are.

0:15:470:15:50

HE SCOFFS

0:15:500:15:52

I went into town.

0:15:540:15:55

The Cunard office.

0:15:570:15:58

I booked you both tickets on the next boat

0:15:590:16:02

from Liverpool to New York.

0:16:020:16:04

America, Freddie.

0:16:040:16:05

They've already had their revolution.

0:16:050:16:07

You won't have to bother.

0:16:070:16:08

Will you ladies at least let a man sleep on it?

0:16:160:16:19

You had no business...

0:16:520:16:54

Observe and report. That is your remit.

0:16:570:17:00

I decided we needed to know where he lived.

0:17:000:17:02

I warned you not to let your personal history

0:17:020:17:06

cloud your judgment.

0:17:060:17:07

You went after him because he was IRA.

0:17:070:17:09

I followed him because I thought he might have information.

0:17:090:17:12

According to the rules,

0:17:130:17:14

I should pull you out of Garrison Lane immediately.

0:17:140:17:17

No. Cheltenham is tomorrow.

0:17:170:17:19

You take too much upon yourself.

0:17:210:17:23

This is an active military mission - your words.

0:17:250:17:29

I'm doing my job.

0:17:290:17:31

Grace, the death of a base Fenian doesn't concern me.

0:17:310:17:36

Your welfare does.

0:17:360:17:38

Killing a man affects the heart.

0:17:390:17:41

And as for my heart...

0:17:440:17:45

I know that because of our family connections,

0:17:460:17:49

you take my progress personally.

0:17:490:17:51

But I don't need you to be my father.

0:17:520:17:54

I will be thinking of you.

0:17:570:17:59

-Mr Shelby, sir.

-Mr Zhang.

0:18:250:18:27

That suit is sold, sir. It's being collected this morning.

0:18:290:18:33

I know.

0:18:330:18:34

Please, gentlemen. No fighting in here.

0:18:400:18:42

It's all right. I come as a friend.

0:18:420:18:44

You're collecting your suit for Cheltenham - it's very nice.

0:18:460:18:49

-How the bloody hell do you know?

-I know a lot of things, Mr Kimber.

0:18:490:18:53

And as I told you before, I know the Lee brothers.

0:18:540:18:57

And I know they're going to be at the Cheltenham races as well.

0:18:570:19:00

They're going to lose a lot of money on fast women and slow nags.

0:19:000:19:03

No. They're planning on showing up in numbers and robbing your bookies.

0:19:030:19:07

Running chalk and rafflers.

0:19:070:19:09

You think I can't handle the Lees?

0:19:090:19:11

Just a word of warning from a friend. That's all.

0:19:110:19:14

I'll see you at Cheltenham.

0:19:170:19:19

I'll wave at you from my box.

0:19:190:19:21

If you're coming to the races, bring that pretty barmaid of yours.

0:19:220:19:25

Already invited.

0:19:250:19:27

CHEERING

0:19:300:19:32

Comrades -

0:19:330:19:35

as you know, to even gather like this today is illegal.

0:19:350:19:39

Chief Inspector Campbell has ordered that we are not allowed to assemble

0:19:390:19:44

in groups of more than three people.

0:19:440:19:46

So, to comply with the law,

0:19:460:19:48

please now clump together in groups of three.

0:19:480:19:51

LAUGHTER

0:19:510:19:53

WHISTLE BLOWS

0:19:530:19:54

You hear that, boys?

0:19:540:19:56

The same whistles they used to blow to send us over the top,

0:19:560:19:59

they now blow to try and break us up.

0:19:590:20:02

So before the Specials get here,

0:20:020:20:04

raise a hand, all those who want to strike...

0:20:040:20:07

THEY CHEER

0:20:070:20:10

Now disperse! Disperse and take the message home!

0:20:100:20:15

United, we will never be defeated!

0:20:150:20:18

APPLAUSE

0:20:180:20:20

Tommy! Oi, Tommy.

0:20:280:20:30

What the hell's been happening?

0:20:300:20:33

The police had just raided a rally at the factory.

0:20:330:20:35

You thinking Freddie Thorne's back?

0:20:350:20:37

I know he is. And he's with Ada.

0:20:370:20:39

How hard can it be to find the only girl in Birmingham

0:20:390:20:42

with four-inch heels, eh?

0:20:420:20:43

She's with the commies.

0:20:430:20:45

They have little rat holes all over the city.

0:20:450:20:48

I just want to know where she is.

0:20:480:20:51

Tommy, you'd best have a word with Arthur as well.

0:20:510:20:53

What's wrong with bloody Arthur?

0:20:530:20:56

He's got the Flanders blues again.

0:20:560:20:58

People keep asking me questions that I don't know the answer to.

0:21:380:21:41

"Is it true your Ada got married?"

0:21:460:21:48

I say, "I don't know."

0:21:510:21:52

"Where is she living now?"

0:21:540:21:56

"I don't know."

0:21:580:21:59

"Arthur...

0:22:020:22:03

"..who killed the Paddy from The Black Swan?"

0:22:060:22:08

I go, "What Paddy?"

0:22:110:22:13

They say...

0:22:180:22:19

.."Is it you, Peaky Blinders, who stole the guns from the BSA?"

0:22:210:22:28

What guns, Tommy?

0:22:360:22:37

Arthur, after your beating, I thought you needed a break...

0:22:400:22:43

What bloody guns, Tommy?!

0:22:430:22:46

-Arthur, I was going to tell you.

-You were going to tell me.

0:22:480:22:51

Arthur, listen to me.

0:22:510:22:53

You've had a hard time these past few years.

0:22:560:22:58

God knows you have.

0:22:580:22:59

You deserve some rest.

0:23:000:23:01

We had some luck. Some bloody luck.

0:23:040:23:08

It fell off a wagon into our laps.

0:23:090:23:12

And all you need to know is, it's us that has the machine guns now.

0:23:120:23:17

And it's them that's in the mud.

0:23:170:23:19

All right?

0:23:210:23:22

Come on. I have a surprise for you.

0:23:300:23:34

Come on.

0:23:350:23:36

MUSIC: "When I Hear My Name" by The White Stripes

0:23:360:23:39

# When I hear my name

0:23:410:23:42

# I want to disappear

0:23:440:23:45

# Whoa

0:23:470:23:48

# Whoa

0:23:500:23:51

# Whoa. #

0:23:530:23:55

A surprise? Where is she?

0:24:000:24:02

What is it you've always wanted, Arthur? Eh?

0:24:050:24:10

When we were in France, you used to say,

0:24:100:24:13

"When I get back to England, I want to own my own pub."

0:24:130:24:17

Well...

0:24:190:24:20

You've gone soft. You've gone soft, Tommy.

0:24:250:24:28

How do we know it's for sale?

0:24:310:24:33

Everything's for sale to us, Arthur.

0:24:330:24:37

We're making a lot of money these days.

0:24:370:24:40

We need a legitimate business to pass the money from the shop.

0:24:400:24:43

I wouldn't know what to do.

0:24:450:24:46

You've spent two-thirds of your life in pubs.

0:24:470:24:50

Just pour it instead of drinking it.

0:24:500:24:53

But I can still drink it, right?

0:24:540:24:56

Your pub - you do what you want.

0:24:560:24:58

Ah - sorry, gentlemen, I didn't hear you come in.

0:25:020:25:07

What can I get you?

0:25:070:25:08

# When I hear my name

0:25:100:25:12

0:25:160:25:18

Bloody kids.

0:25:280:25:30

The other one's punctured as well.

0:25:300:25:32

Mr Campbell wants an explanation.

0:25:340:25:37

Today, some rabble-rouser Union man brought the BSA out on strike.

0:25:370:25:42

It was Freddie Thorne.

0:25:440:25:45

I thought you promised he wouldn't come back.

0:25:470:25:49

I know he's in town. I'm dealing with it.

0:25:490:25:52

Inspector Campbell thought you controlled your territories.

0:25:520:25:55

Yeah.

0:25:550:25:57

I said I'm dealing with it.

0:25:580:26:00

I heard that, er...

0:26:020:26:03

..Freddie married your sister.

0:26:050:26:07

Some family you've got, eh?

0:26:070:26:09

Bet you can't wait for Christmas.

0:26:090:26:11

Deliver Freddie Thorne to us

0:26:140:26:16

or we'll take your sister in as an accomplice.

0:26:160:26:19

She'll get four years for sedition.

0:26:190:26:21

Or you can turn him in and your sister goes free.

0:26:240:26:27

I'll say good night then, Tom.

0:26:350:26:37

Have you seen Freddie Thorne?

0:27:040:27:06

-No.

-Or Tommy? Ahh!

0:27:060:27:08

-I have to find Freddie.

-Drink this first.

0:27:240:27:26

No, I have to find them, I think they are going to kill each other.

0:27:260:27:29

Who is going to kill who?

0:27:290:27:30

We need to talk.

0:27:320:27:34

What exactly is it that you want, Freddie?

0:27:410:27:43

I came to tell you...

0:27:440:27:45

..that's not going to work, Tommy.

0:27:490:27:51

Polly came round. She gave me that.

0:27:530:27:57

Well, Polly must have had a rush of blood.

0:27:590:28:03

Or port wine.

0:28:030:28:04

Your honesty is appreciated.

0:28:060:28:07

Now, if you're not going to use that thing...

0:28:070:28:09

I'm not finished. Sit down.

0:28:090:28:11

Sit down. Sit.

0:28:130:28:14

Talk to me about the guns.

0:28:200:28:21

Do you remember we used to jump in here,

0:28:240:28:26

-see who could swim the fastest...?

-I'm here to talk business, Tommy.

0:28:260:28:29

Do you reckon we could still do it?

0:28:320:28:34

Ah!

0:28:380:28:39

You loaded Ada with your bastard because she's a Shelby.

0:28:490:28:53

You thought it'd mean you'd be somebody.

0:28:540:28:56

I won't let you fuck up my sister's life for your cause.

0:28:580:29:01

My God.

0:29:060:29:07

You actually believe that.

0:29:120:29:14

I love her, Tommy.

0:29:210:29:22

I've loved her since she was nine and I was 12.

0:29:240:29:27

And she loves me the same.

0:29:290:29:31

You even know the word?

0:29:390:29:40

This marriage will not stand.

0:29:440:29:46

Shh...

0:29:560:29:58

Freddie didn't want your money.

0:30:180:30:21

And now the coppers are saying if we don't turn Freddie in,

0:30:220:30:26

they'll put Ada on the arrest warrant as well.

0:30:260:30:28

That's where your compassion gets you, Poll.

0:30:280:30:31

From now on, we do it my way.

0:30:310:30:36

Or what?

0:30:360:30:37

Ready?

0:31:160:31:17

They're getting closer.

0:31:180:31:19

-I'll lead.

-Watch yourself, Danny.

-Tommy.

0:31:240:31:27

Be careful, Danny.

Tommy?

0:32:250:32:27

Tommy!

0:32:280:32:29

Tommy?

0:32:300:32:31

It's open.

0:32:380:32:39

Private Whizz Bang reporting, sir.

0:32:450:32:48

At ease.

0:32:480:32:49

So, what news from London?

0:33:040:33:07

I was in a pub - it was called Mother Redcap.

0:33:070:33:10

An Irish pub.

0:33:100:33:11

I got talking to some old bloke about Birmingham.

0:33:130:33:15

He said there's been trouble. An IRA man shot.

0:33:160:33:19

He said a lot, but the only bit I heard...was that their high command

0:33:210:33:24

think it's the Peaky Blinders who shot him.

0:33:240:33:26

Came up on the next boat to warn you.

0:33:280:33:30

Is it true?

0:33:320:33:34

No.

0:33:340:33:35

But lies travel faster than the truth.

0:33:370:33:39

Get a message to them.

0:33:420:33:43

Tell them to send someone to parley.

0:33:440:33:47

Tell them there's been a misunderstanding

0:33:470:33:49

and we don't want any trouble.

0:33:490:33:50

You've got enough trouble - right, Tommy?

0:33:530:33:56

A whisky and a smoke.

0:33:580:34:00

I can smell it in the air.

0:34:060:34:07

I use it sometimes myself.

0:34:110:34:12

I call it "my sweetheart".

0:34:140:34:15

They gave us the worst job, Tommy.

0:34:190:34:21

Yeah...

0:34:220:34:23

..and we fucking volunteered.

0:34:250:34:26

Sometimes, it lasts all night.

0:34:410:34:43

I lie here and I listen to the shovels and the picks

0:34:460:34:53

against that wall there.

0:34:530:34:54

And I pray the sun will come up at the curtains

0:34:590:35:02

before they break through.

0:35:020:35:04

'No, I don't pray - I hope.

0:35:060:35:08

'And sometimes, it happens.

0:35:110:35:13

'The sun beats them.

0:35:130:35:15

'But mostly...

0:35:170:35:18

'..the shovels beat the sun.'

# Drifting down into the abattoir

# Do you see what I see, dear?

0:36:000:36:02

# The air grows heavy

0:36:040:36:06

# I listen to your breath

0:36:060:36:08

# Entwined together In this culture of death

0:36:090:36:15

# Do you see what I see, dear?

0:36:150:36:17

# Slide on over here Let me give you a squeeze... #

# Can you hear what I hear, babe?

0:36:300:36:33

# Does it make you feel afraid?

0:36:340:36:38

# Abattoir blues... #

0:36:400:36:43

Your sister was here.

0:36:440:36:46

She was worried. You and Freddie.

0:36:510:36:52

It had made her sick...

0:36:540:36:55

She's all right, but in her condition,

0:36:570:36:59

she needs peace.

0:36:590:37:00

Women talk.

0:37:020:37:03

That is something they do.

0:37:030:37:05

She talked about you.

0:37:070:37:08

She said you keep everything locked up.

0:37:110:37:13

Well, that's what men do.

0:37:140:37:16

Your sister's nice. I like her.

0:37:180:37:20

It can't be easy for her.

0:37:200:37:22

Her brother and her husband, fighting over the same thing.

0:37:220:37:25

Men should talk, too.

0:37:300:37:31

To you?

0:37:330:37:34

Why not? I'm a barmaid. It's my job.

0:37:370:37:41

Men always tell their troubles to a barmaid.

0:37:410:37:44

What is it you and Freddie are fighting over?

0:37:450:37:48

I'll meet you here at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.

0:38:010:38:04

Did you buy a dress?

0:38:070:38:08

Yes. I bought a dress.

0:38:100:38:11

How does it look?

0:38:120:38:14

He's changed the oil and greased her up.

0:39:320:39:34

So will it get me all the way to Cheltenham, Curly?

0:39:350:39:38

He's good with motors, but it pains him.

0:39:380:39:40

No heart in motorcars. I can't talk with them.

0:39:400:39:43

Yeah - Tommy might need to make a fast getaway.

0:39:430:39:46

The Lees will be all over the track.

0:39:460:39:48

And Kimber's men. And his coppers.

0:39:480:39:51

They control the law down there, Tommy.

0:39:510:39:53

Give her a turn for me, Charlie.

0:39:530:39:55

This car only seats four.

0:40:020:40:04

You'll need more men than that if you're to come back alive.

0:40:040:40:06

It'll be just me and a girl.

0:40:060:40:08

Is it just the two of us going to the races?

0:40:180:40:20

Something like that.

MUSIC: "St James Infirmary" by The White Stripes

# See my little baby there

0:40:360:40:40

# She's stretched On a long, white table

0:40:400:40:43

# Well, she looks so good So cold, so fair... #

0:40:430:40:47

Attention!

0:40:560:40:58

Right.

0:40:580:40:59

This is what was known as the final briefing before going over the top.

0:41:000:41:05

60 miles down that road is Cheltenham racetrack.

0:41:050:41:07

Johnny, what's our mission, boy?

0:41:070:41:10

To stick it to the Lee family, Arthur.

0:41:100:41:13

That's right. The Lees are skimming money off legal bookies.

0:41:130:41:18

Running chalk, selling rafflers, beating up them as won't buy.

0:41:180:41:23

But today, we're going to stop them.

0:41:230:41:26

What about Kimber's men? I thought he had his own protection.

0:41:260:41:29

Kimber's let his troops go rotten.

0:41:290:41:31

They're on the take from the Lees to look the other way.

0:41:330:41:36

We are going to show Kimber how it should be done.

0:41:370:41:39

Now take what you're good at.

0:41:390:41:41

Those of you with guns, keep them out of it,

0:41:410:41:44

unless a gun is pulled on you.

0:41:440:41:45

We want this done quietly.

0:41:450:41:47

So when do we share out the cash?

0:41:500:41:52

We don't. We're not keeping the cash.

0:41:520:41:55

You're in Tommy's army now, boys.

0:41:550:41:58

Trust only kin.

0:41:580:42:00

Let's go.

0:42:020:42:03

Are you sure we're allowed in here?

0:42:230:42:25

Well, I prefer to come to the races the back way.

0:42:250:42:28

It keeps me out of trouble. Tracks are lawless places.

0:42:280:42:33

I can't stand petty criminals. This way.

0:42:330:42:35

-Will we get to lay a bet?

-No - gambling is for mugs.

0:42:350:42:39

This way...

0:42:390:42:40

You're lucky you're with me

0:42:400:42:42

or you'd be wasting your money on fixed races.

0:42:420:42:45

I always wondered, how do you fix a race?

0:42:450:42:47

How should I know?

0:42:470:42:48

-OK, you do the talking.

-What?

0:42:510:42:54

Tell security you are Lady Sarah Duggan...

0:42:540:42:57

Excuse us, excuse us...

0:42:570:43:00

..Lady Sarah Duggan of Connemara.

0:43:000:43:02

You got lost when you went to look for the boy

0:43:020:43:04

riding your horse - Dandy Flower.

0:43:040:43:06

If they ask about me, say I'm Prussian

0:43:060:43:08

and don't speak a word of English.

0:43:080:43:10

Come on, posh girl. Earn your three quid.

If I'm asked properly.

0:43:520:43:53

Lady Sarah of Connemara, will you dance with me?

0:43:560:43:59

Roberts. The Peaky Blinders are here.

0:44:580:45:01

I told you, Mr Kimber. He's got some balls, that one.

0:45:020:45:05

And she's got some body, that one.

0:45:050:45:07

Chalk for your blackboards.

0:45:200:45:22

Five pounds a stick.

0:45:220:45:24

It's a pleasure doing business with you.

0:45:280:45:31

Hello, Raz. How's business?

0:45:350:45:37

Argh! Ugh!

0:45:370:45:39

RAZ GRUNTS IN PAIN

0:45:400:45:43

Fucking...get up!

0:45:430:45:45

Fucking...

0:45:450:45:46

ARRGGHH!

0:45:510:45:53

Stay still, Raz, or I'll take the whole ear off.

0:45:550:45:58

And you're going to need your ears to listen.

0:45:580:46:00

No more chalking on Billy Kimber's boys.

0:46:000:46:04

Right?

0:46:040:46:05

We're the protection now.

0:46:060:46:08

I commandeer this stolen money by order of the Peaky Blinders.

0:46:110:46:17

Agghh!

0:46:170:46:19

Either your left leg is stronger than your right

0:46:440:46:46

or we're making a getaway.

0:46:460:46:48

-Neither.

-I hope this doesn't involve razor blades.

0:46:480:46:52

I've decided to move up in the world.

0:46:520:46:54

Become a legitimate businessman.

0:46:540:46:56

-My gosh. You're serious.

-I'm always serious.

0:46:560:46:59

We chased the Lees across the track, right the way down the Devon road.

0:47:020:47:05

We got every penny back.

0:47:050:47:07

Nice dress. You can wear that to my pub.

0:47:080:47:11

Buy the boys a drink. Anybody hurt?

0:47:110:47:14

A few cuts and bruises.

0:47:140:47:15

Off we go, Lady Sarah.

0:47:160:47:18

-Steady on...

-Excuse me.

0:47:250:47:27

Your money, Mr Kimber.

0:47:350:47:37

Rescued from the Lee brothers

0:47:380:47:41

and returned to you with a request for a fair hearing.

0:47:410:47:45

Your own protection is failing, Mr Kimber.

0:47:460:47:48

Your boys are taking cuts.

0:47:480:47:50

I want to suggest that from now on,

0:47:520:47:54

you contract out your racetrack security to the Peaky Blinders.

0:47:540:47:58

We would be saving you a lot of money, Mr Kimber.

0:47:590:48:02

A lot of money.

0:48:020:48:04

In return, you give us...

0:48:040:48:05

..5% of the take

0:48:070:48:09

and three legal betting pitches

0:48:090:48:12

at every race meeting north of the River Severn,

0:48:120:48:14

rising to six after one year

0:48:140:48:16

if we are all satisfied with the service.

0:48:160:48:19

What do you say, Mr Kimber?

0:48:210:48:22

I say you talk business to my accountant.

0:48:270:48:30

I want to dance.

0:48:300:48:31

Your man said it was all right for me to have this dance.

0:48:430:48:46

How many men can you put in the field at one time?

0:49:090:49:12

There's a lot of men out of work at the moment.

0:49:120:49:14

-Two guards for every bookie.

-At every meeting?

0:49:140:49:17

We have contacts with good people among the gypsies.

0:49:190:49:23

We'll always know where the Lees plan to attack.

0:49:230:49:26

With all the strikes and troubles, you can't depend on the police.

0:49:260:49:30

Anyway...we're more honest.

0:49:300:49:33

Looks like you two are making a deal.

0:49:340:49:36

We are making progress.

0:49:360:49:38

Then let me throw a small condition into the mix.

0:49:400:49:43

So, listen...we're going to go for dinner at Kimber's house.

0:49:590:50:03

He has a place a couple of miles away.

0:50:030:50:06

I have some business to settle first with his accountant, so...

0:50:060:50:09

You go on ahead, with Kimber.

0:50:090:50:11

Just me and him?

0:50:120:50:14

Yeah...until I'm done here. Is that all right?

0:50:140:50:18

I'll throw in an extra three quid for your extra time.

0:50:210:50:24

You think I'm a whore?

0:50:260:50:28

Everybody's a whore, Grace.

0:50:300:50:33

We just sell different parts of ourselves.

0:50:330:50:35

You said you wanted to work for me.

0:50:350:50:37

To do that, you have to sharpen up.

0:50:370:50:39

The deal is I give him two hours with you.

0:50:390:50:42

He thinks he's a ladies' man. He thinks he can seduce you.

0:50:420:50:45

Whenever you want, just kick him in the balls.

0:50:450:50:48

I'm a clause in a contract.

0:50:480:50:50

If you want to be part of my organisation,

0:50:500:50:52

you have to make sacrifices.

0:50:520:50:54

Do we have a deal?

0:50:570:50:59

As a sweetener, you can try your luck with mine.

0:50:590:51:01

-Yes, we have a deal.

-Two hours?

-Yeah.

0:51:030:51:06

Side bet. Ten pounds says I'll have her fucked in one.

0:51:060:51:09

Mademoiselle.

0:51:110:51:12

I bet he said you could have me, didn't he?

0:51:230:51:25

While he has her.

0:51:270:51:29

That's the arrangement, isn't it?

0:51:290:51:31

Yours might be a prostitute,

0:51:340:51:36

but I'm not.

0:51:360:51:37

I was a milliner when I met him.

0:51:380:51:40

I was independent.

0:51:410:51:43

I made this hat.

0:51:460:51:47

I was a good milliner.

0:51:490:51:50

It's a very pretty hat.

0:51:510:51:53

It really is.

0:51:550:51:56

So is she a prostitute?

0:52:070:52:08

God's honest truth?

0:52:100:52:13

I don't know what she is.

0:52:130:52:14

You showed me up back there at the races.

0:52:230:52:26

Why don't you teach me how to dance properly?

0:52:290:52:32

The music is too slow. Put on a Charleston.

0:52:330:52:36

Then we'd be far away. I want to dance like this.

0:52:360:52:39

Come on. You weren't so stiff back there, were you?

0:52:410:52:43

You ever been in a house this big?

0:52:450:52:47

Hm?

0:52:480:52:50

Look at you.

0:52:510:52:52

You look like a bloody film star.

0:52:550:52:58

I want a cigarette.

0:53:020:53:03

Oh, look, I dropped something. Pick it up.

0:53:150:53:18

Pick it up yourself.

0:53:180:53:19

You're a fucking barmaid.

0:53:190:53:20

If I drop a glass on the floor, you pick it up.

0:53:200:53:23

I want to watch you pick it up.

0:53:230:53:25

Right, you little slag. I have tried to be nice.

0:53:290:53:33

If I drop a glass on the floor,

0:53:340:53:38

you bend over and fucking pick up the fucking glass, OK?

0:53:380:53:42

-What?!

-No, sir...no.

0:53:420:53:44

What are you doing here? I've got another hour.

0:53:440:53:47

Just wait - listen to me. Just listen to me.

0:53:470:53:51

I was going to let you go through with it, but in the end,

0:53:510:53:54

my conscience got the better of me.

0:53:540:53:56

She looks good on the outside...

0:53:560:53:57

..but she has the clap.

0:54:000:54:01

Yeah. Syphilis.

0:54:040:54:06

When you took a shine to her, I thought I'd use her.

0:54:070:54:09

Somebody told me she had syph and I thought, "What the hell?"

0:54:090:54:12

Call it my better nature.

0:54:150:54:16

She's...she's a whore.

0:54:180:54:19

-Just go and wait in the car.

-I can walk on my own!

0:54:250:54:28

Can we shake hands and forget this ever happened?

0:54:330:54:35

Start of the day, I was Lady Sarah of Connemara.

0:55:000:55:02

By the end, I was a whore with the clap.

0:55:040:55:07

You're a fucking bastard, offering me like that.

0:55:090:55:12

But then you changed your mind.

0:55:180:55:19

Why did you change your mind, Thomas?

0:55:240:55:26

# Take a little walk To the edge of town

0:55:480:55:51

# And go across the tracks

0:55:510:55:53

# Where the viaduct looms Like a bird of doom

0:55:550:56:00

# As it shifts and cracks... #

0:56:000:56:04
