0:00:02 > 0:00:06This progamme contains violent scenes, strong and racial language,

0:00:06 > 0:00:08and scenes of a sexual nature.

0:00:08 > 0:00:10A vacancy has appeared and you're going to fill it.

0:00:10 > 0:00:12From now on, Mr Shelby, you shut your Gypsy mouth

0:00:12 > 0:00:14and listen to your instructions.

0:00:14 > 0:00:17I know it was you who carried out the murder of Mr Duggan.

0:00:17 > 0:00:19- GUNSHOT - You are on my hook, Mr Shelby.

0:00:19 > 0:00:21- Name?- Harold Hancox.

0:00:21 > 0:00:24- Have you ever been arrested?- No.

0:00:24 > 0:00:26Arthur, we can stand him up.

0:00:26 > 0:00:29'Last night, one of our men had his throat cut in Winson Green.'

0:00:29 > 0:00:30I'm not real!

0:00:30 > 0:00:35'Gentlemen, this is your cousin. Polly's son, Michael.'

0:00:35 > 0:00:37- I want to go with them. - Over my dead body.

0:00:37 > 0:00:40Do we hear 800 guineas? 850.

0:00:40 > 0:00:42'May Carleton. I breed racehorses and train them.'

0:00:42 > 0:00:45- So, will you consider me? - I will consider you.

0:00:45 > 0:00:47Thomas Shelby?

0:00:47 > 0:00:49GUNSHOT

0:00:50 > 0:00:52'Did they behave themselves?'

0:00:52 > 0:00:55They were really amazing.

0:01:26 > 0:01:30# Take a little walk to the edge of town

0:01:30 > 0:01:34# And go across the tracks

0:01:34 > 0:01:38# Where the viaduct looms, like a bird of doom

0:01:38 > 0:01:42# As it shifts and cracks

0:01:42 > 0:01:46# Where secrets lie in the border fires

0:01:46 > 0:01:49# In the humming wires

0:01:49 > 0:01:51# Hey, man, you know you're never coming back

0:01:51 > 0:01:57# Past the square, past the bridge, past the mills, past the stacks

0:01:59 > 0:02:03# On a gathering storm comes a tall handsome man

0:02:03 > 0:02:08# In a dusty black coat with a red right hand... #

0:02:19 > 0:02:23BELLS RING

0:02:45 > 0:02:49You might think this is a curious place for me to suggest a meeting,

0:02:49 > 0:02:51but...

0:02:51 > 0:02:54your surprises have only just begun.

0:03:04 > 0:03:08You look a little unsteady, Mr Shelby.

0:03:08 > 0:03:10Take a seat.

0:03:16 > 0:03:18You're working together.

0:03:19 > 0:03:22Blowing up the Garrison was your idea.

0:03:23 > 0:03:25You who chose me.

0:03:28 > 0:03:32It's funny, I thought the Fenians had a policy...

0:03:32 > 0:03:35- Enough.- ..of not mixing the personal with the political.

0:03:35 > 0:03:38- I said enough.- I think I will decide on what is enough.

0:03:38 > 0:03:40Who's in charge here then, eh? Who's in charge?

0:03:40 > 0:03:43Right, let me understand this.

0:03:43 > 0:03:46- You answer to an agent of the Crown. - Perhaps we can just...

0:03:46 > 0:03:49- Very interesting. - Perhaps we can stick to the agenda.

0:03:49 > 0:03:51- Whose agenda? - There is a form of words here.

0:03:51 > 0:03:53- Whose words?- Arrogant bastard.

0:03:55 > 0:03:58- I'm not accustomed to being spoken to like that.- Just come to order

0:03:58 > 0:04:00I am here to listen, but not to the fucking infantry.

0:04:00 > 0:04:02Enough! Jesus!

0:04:02 > 0:04:04Now...

0:04:06 > 0:04:10..some weeks ago, Mr Shelby carried out a military mission

0:04:10 > 0:04:14on behalf of pro-treaty Republicans here in Birmingham.

0:04:14 > 0:04:15You...

0:04:15 > 0:04:17working for the King.

0:04:17 > 0:04:20- There is a unique political situation.- Yeah? How does that feel?

0:04:20 > 0:04:23- Let us...- Tell me. How does that fucking feel?

0:04:23 > 0:04:24..stick to the form of words.

0:04:24 > 0:04:26- Temporarily, we have a shared interest.- Oh, I see.

0:04:26 > 0:04:30- Shall we just stop him laughing? - You want me to stop laughing?

0:04:30 > 0:04:34- Explain this, pal.- Following the success of your mission...

0:04:34 > 0:04:36- We're going to make you do it again. - Will you shut up?

0:04:36 > 0:04:39Can we just conduct ourselves here, please?

0:04:39 > 0:04:40- Conduct ourselves!- Please.

0:04:40 > 0:04:44No-one in this room wants to breathe the same air as anyone else.

0:04:47 > 0:04:50- Nevertheless...- Nevertheless the pro-treaty Paddies

0:04:50 > 0:04:52and the King want the same man dead.

0:04:53 > 0:04:55Am I right?

0:05:17 > 0:05:21- Why him? - Did you ask why in France?

0:05:21 > 0:05:25- Yeah.- So, it's the same answer - because.

0:05:32 > 0:05:35Why me?

0:05:35 > 0:05:37- Because.- Because.

0:05:40 > 0:05:42Because if anybody connects me to this,

0:05:42 > 0:05:44it will be assumed that it was a criminal act

0:05:44 > 0:05:46and not a political one.

0:05:46 > 0:05:50No, you need not fear being connected to the killing

0:05:50 > 0:05:54because I will see to it that no connection is ever made.

0:05:54 > 0:05:57You will have complete immunity after the fact.

0:05:57 > 0:06:02But, in the execution, you will get no help from agents of the Crown.

0:06:02 > 0:06:04And we can't be seen to be involved.

0:06:05 > 0:06:09You have been chosen, Mr Shelby,

0:06:09 > 0:06:11and there really is no choice.

0:06:11 > 0:06:13No equals bang,

0:06:13 > 0:06:16and your man here will shed no tears as he looks the other way.

0:06:22 > 0:06:24Nevertheless...

0:06:24 > 0:06:26I say no.

0:06:32 > 0:06:34Mr Shelby?

0:06:39 > 0:06:43What about your export licence, Mr Shelby?

0:06:43 > 0:06:45You had a deal with Mr Churchill.

0:06:50 > 0:06:54The one with the mouth, Donal Henry, he is a spy.

0:06:54 > 0:06:57He is working for the Irregulars against the pro-treaty Paddies.

0:06:57 > 0:06:59He reports every fucking word back to them.

0:06:59 > 0:07:00No, it's not possible.

0:07:00 > 0:07:03They've both been security vetted by my own department.

0:07:03 > 0:07:06I have men in places your men can't go.

0:07:06 > 0:07:09Donal Henry meets the anti-treaty Paddies in the back room

0:07:09 > 0:07:12of the Mother Red Cap in Saltley sometimes twice a week.

0:07:13 > 0:07:16These Irish enemies are fucking brothers and cousins.

0:07:16 > 0:07:19You are stepping into a world you don't understand.

0:07:22 > 0:07:26If what you're saying is true, he'll be dealt with.

0:07:26 > 0:07:31Bring me proof the spy is dead and we have a deal.

0:07:48 > 0:07:51- Mr Shelby.- Billy boy. - Watch it.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01Now on you go.

0:08:18 > 0:08:22SEARING STRINGS DROWN SOUND

0:08:53 > 0:08:56Right, boys, let's go!

0:08:59 > 0:09:02SCREAMING

0:09:10 > 0:09:12GLASS SMASHES

0:09:30 > 0:09:32Fuck you!

0:09:32 > 0:09:34Mario!

0:09:35 > 0:09:37Mario!

0:09:41 > 0:09:44WOMAN SCREAMS

0:09:44 > 0:09:46Mario!

0:09:46 > 0:09:48Come here.

0:09:52 > 0:09:55Sabini's day is done.

0:09:56 > 0:09:58I'll protect you now.

0:10:01 > 0:10:03Oh, shut up!

0:10:03 > 0:10:05Stop fucking whingeing.

0:10:07 > 0:10:10Due to my razor blade

0:10:10 > 0:10:13and a few complaints from the neighbours

0:10:13 > 0:10:16about the terrible fucking music...

0:10:21 > 0:10:24Do you want to tell them or should I?

0:10:24 > 0:10:28This place is under new management...

0:10:34 > 0:10:37..by order of the Peaky Blinders.

0:10:37 > 0:10:41LOUD ROCK MUSIC

0:10:47 > 0:10:52WOMEN GIGGLE

0:10:52 > 0:10:54HE LAUGHS

0:11:37 > 0:11:39HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

0:12:22 > 0:12:24KNOCKING ON DOOR

0:12:24 > 0:12:26Yes?

0:12:27 > 0:12:29Somebody to see you, Mr Shelby.

0:12:29 > 0:12:31He says he's come about the position of accounts clerk.

0:12:31 > 0:12:33Send him in.

0:12:36 > 0:12:39- Just through here, sir.- Thank you.

0:12:43 > 0:12:44Michael...

0:12:47 > 0:12:49..vacancy's been filled.

0:12:51 > 0:12:54Not according to this morning's paper.

0:13:02 > 0:13:04At school, I was top of the class in mathematics

0:13:04 > 0:13:09and I did a night-school course in accountancy at Worcester College.

0:13:09 > 0:13:11Mum says you've had six different accountant clerks

0:13:11 > 0:13:13in the last six months.

0:13:15 > 0:13:19When respectable men see the other things you do, they leave.

0:13:20 > 0:13:24But I, like Lizzie out there, already know what you do.

0:13:26 > 0:13:30Mum says you want to be 80% legal within two years.

0:13:30 > 0:13:34- Three. - I can help.

0:13:34 > 0:13:39I know both sides and you know you can trust me.

0:13:39 > 0:13:44I want to help you, Tommy, become legal.

0:13:45 > 0:13:47Do the right thing.

0:13:51 > 0:13:52I want to be proud of this family.

0:14:00 > 0:14:02Does Polly know you're here, Michael?

0:14:04 > 0:14:06I'm 18 on Friday - I go where I please.

0:14:22 > 0:14:24You phone your mother.

0:14:27 > 0:14:29Good luck.

0:14:35 > 0:14:37KNOCKING ON DOOR

0:14:37 > 0:14:40We're not open for winnings yet.

0:14:40 > 0:14:42I'm here to see Thomas Shelby.

0:14:47 > 0:14:49I have an appointment.

0:14:49 > 0:14:50Come in.

0:15:03 > 0:15:06- May Carleton.- Mr Shelby has his proper meetings

0:15:06 > 0:15:08in his other office.

0:15:10 > 0:15:12This was the address that he gave me.

0:15:12 > 0:15:16- He gave you THIS address? - He said it was a gambling den.

0:15:16 > 0:15:18I told him that I've wanted to see one

0:15:18 > 0:15:21since I'm always reading about them in the papers.

0:15:21 > 0:15:23Quite the big scandal in the Telegraph lately.

0:15:23 > 0:15:26Anyway, he said that I could come and have a look.

0:15:29 > 0:15:31And now I feel like a bit of an idiot

0:15:31 > 0:15:34because I'm early and he's late and I have no idea how to behave.

0:15:34 > 0:15:35In a gambling den?

0:15:37 > 0:15:40I'll wait in the car.

0:15:40 > 0:15:44If I open the door again, they'll all want to come in...

0:15:44 > 0:15:46like flies.

0:15:50 > 0:15:52So what are you?

0:15:53 > 0:15:54W-what am I?

0:15:54 > 0:15:56To Thomas?

0:15:58 > 0:16:01I'm going to train his racehorse...for Epsom.

0:16:02 > 0:16:04You know horses?

0:16:05 > 0:16:07Yes. You?

0:16:07 > 0:16:09Born riding.

0:16:10 > 0:16:13I slept in a manger when I was a baby.

0:16:15 > 0:16:17I was born riding, too.

0:16:17 > 0:16:19DOOR OPENS

0:16:20 > 0:16:23There's a fucking great Riley parked out there

0:16:23 > 0:16:24and nobody's watching it.

0:16:24 > 0:16:28John, this woman says she's training Thomas' horse.

0:16:32 > 0:16:33He's told us a lot about you.

0:16:36 > 0:16:37Don't know where he is, do you?

0:16:37 > 0:16:40DOOR OPENS

0:16:42 > 0:16:44Sorry I'm late. There was a family matter.

0:16:44 > 0:16:46Esme, keep it locked up for a minute.

0:16:46 > 0:16:48- Yes, Thomas. - I'll show you around.

0:16:56 > 0:16:59So...be my guest.

0:17:10 > 0:17:12That's my brother Arthur's office.

0:17:16 > 0:17:19Down there is my brother John's office -

0:17:19 > 0:17:21that's where we slate the runners and riders.

0:17:24 > 0:17:27It's so out in the open. What about the police?

0:17:28 > 0:17:30What about them?

0:17:32 > 0:17:33When I drove into Small Heath,

0:17:33 > 0:17:35I thought I was going to get murdered...

0:17:35 > 0:17:37then I mentioned your name.

0:17:39 > 0:17:41It was like being escorted to see a king.

0:17:44 > 0:17:47- You came here to get my girl, right? - Right.

0:18:03 > 0:18:04She looks in very good condition,

0:18:04 > 0:18:07considering she's not been out on the gallops.

0:18:07 > 0:18:09Curly's the best horseman in England.

0:18:09 > 0:18:11I have a man called Mickey who'd argue the point.

0:18:11 > 0:18:14Ah, but Curly here is half horse himself.

0:18:14 > 0:18:16She's blessed. Very blessed.

0:18:16 > 0:18:18Well, she's from the best stock.

0:18:18 > 0:18:21But I'd rather have a coloured pony. Mixed blood is stronger.

0:18:21 > 0:18:23Not to win the Derby, Curly.

0:18:23 > 0:18:25Don't like them racing, Tommy, not the way they beat them.

0:18:25 > 0:18:28- She's all yours. - Thank you.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34He gets sad when one leaves.

0:18:34 > 0:18:37- What time is your box van coming? - Midday.

0:18:37 > 0:18:40Maybe you've got time to take the lady to the Garrison,

0:18:40 > 0:18:43show her the spa and the tearooms.

0:18:45 > 0:18:47I'd like that, why not?

0:18:53 > 0:18:57I just had it done up. There was a fire.

0:18:57 > 0:18:58It's...

0:18:58 > 0:19:01Yeah.

0:19:01 > 0:19:02What do you drink?

0:19:03 > 0:19:05So early, but gin.

0:19:22 > 0:19:24Goodness. With something?

0:19:26 > 0:19:28Like what?

0:19:29 > 0:19:31Tonic water or...

0:19:33 > 0:19:37Erm...we have...cordial.

0:19:39 > 0:19:41There's not much room in there but...

0:19:52 > 0:19:54You want to fuck me, Mrs Carleton?

0:19:57 > 0:19:59Perhaps because I...

0:19:59 > 0:20:02Perhaps because I represent something to you?

0:20:04 > 0:20:07We should have this conversation before the booze

0:20:07 > 0:20:09starts talking for us.

0:20:12 > 0:20:13You have a horse.

0:20:15 > 0:20:18Yes, I have a horse.

0:20:18 > 0:20:22The horse is why I'm here...

0:20:22 > 0:20:24purely that.

0:20:24 > 0:20:27And because you're paying me a lot of money to train your horse,

0:20:27 > 0:20:29that's why I'm here,

0:20:29 > 0:20:30purely that.

0:20:34 > 0:20:36Good.

0:20:37 > 0:20:40Good. Well, a toast, then.

0:20:40 > 0:20:42To the horse, to the Derby.

0:20:46 > 0:20:47- Cheers.- Cheers.

0:20:52 > 0:20:55So is that what you say to women?

0:20:58 > 0:21:00Only if I don't know what they want.

0:21:00 > 0:21:02And what if they don't want to fuck?

0:21:04 > 0:21:06Then life is simpler.

0:21:06 > 0:21:07You want a simple life?

0:21:11 > 0:21:14Do I look like a man who wants a simple life, eh?

0:21:15 > 0:21:17So what do you want?

0:21:20 > 0:21:22For what I'm paying you, Mrs Carleton,

0:21:22 > 0:21:26I want a horse that'll pay out at Epsom on an each-way bet.

0:21:32 > 0:21:35Before I took your account,

0:21:35 > 0:21:37I did some credit checks on you.

0:21:39 > 0:21:42Apparently, you don't exist.

0:21:47 > 0:21:49My existence is questionable.

0:21:52 > 0:21:54Gypsies don't like registers.

0:21:55 > 0:21:59You see, I'm not a Gypsy like you mean.

0:21:59 > 0:22:01But you did register for France.

0:22:03 > 0:22:06I also sent your name to the War Office -

0:22:06 > 0:22:08I have friends there.

0:22:08 > 0:22:10You won two medals for gallantry.

0:22:13 > 0:22:16Does that really impress you, Mrs Carleton?

0:22:20 > 0:22:22Call me May.

0:22:29 > 0:22:32Charlie says the box van is here.

0:22:32 > 0:22:33Thank you, Finn.

0:22:37 > 0:22:40You know, I still don't know what you're going to call your horse.

0:22:41 > 0:22:45The horse will be called Grace's Secret.

0:22:48 > 0:22:49Grace's Secret.

0:22:55 > 0:22:58I told him he definitely can't take the job.

0:23:00 > 0:23:02He said "All right, I'll move to London, then."

0:23:02 > 0:23:06I said, "I won't give in to blackmail. No is no."

0:23:08 > 0:23:12Well...that settles it, then.

0:23:12 > 0:23:15I'll give the job to the other candidate.

0:23:15 > 0:23:17He's much better qualified anyway.

0:23:17 > 0:23:21Michael did City And Guilds - six months.

0:23:21 > 0:23:24Yeah, but he doesn't know racing, Poll.

0:23:24 > 0:23:27He knows horses, but he doesn't know racing.

0:23:27 > 0:23:30This other boy, he knows racing.

0:23:30 > 0:23:31He's good. He's a fast learner.

0:23:35 > 0:23:37What if Michael really leaves?

0:23:38 > 0:23:40You just got to let him go, Poll.

0:23:40 > 0:23:43He'll get a job in an office in London.

0:23:43 > 0:23:46I'm sure he'll write to you.

0:23:46 > 0:23:47He made a big speech

0:23:47 > 0:23:52about wanting to help you build up a respectable business.

0:23:52 > 0:23:54Oh, he's like his dad, he could make me cry.

0:23:54 > 0:23:57There are trains to London.

0:23:57 > 0:23:59So I just let him leave?

0:23:59 > 0:24:01Every month or so he'd be back...

0:24:02 > 0:24:04..unless of course he meets a girl.

0:24:04 > 0:24:06Then, who knows?

0:24:12 > 0:24:15Oh, my God.

0:24:15 > 0:24:17You want him to do this job.

0:24:17 > 0:24:20Polly, I want what you want.

0:24:21 > 0:24:25What about this other more qualified candidate?

0:24:25 > 0:24:28Mmm...

0:24:28 > 0:24:30Well, I lied, there isn't one.

0:24:34 > 0:24:36How much are you paying?

0:24:37 > 0:24:40- The advertised rate. - Like hell.

0:24:40 > 0:24:42- Three bob.- Like hell.

0:24:43 > 0:24:46- Three and six.- Four.

0:24:46 > 0:24:48Four it is.

0:24:54 > 0:24:56- I love him, Tom. - I know.

0:24:56 > 0:24:59That's why I'll keep him away from the old business,

0:24:59 > 0:25:02put him charge of the new. Agreed?

0:25:03 > 0:25:04Agreed.

0:25:14 > 0:25:17Well, Finn, you've got two choices - mild or mild.

0:25:17 > 0:25:20- Mild.- There you go.

0:25:31 > 0:25:34- Give him a drink, John Boy. - There you go, lad.- And after that,

0:25:34 > 0:25:36we'll go to find you a lady of the night.

0:25:36 > 0:25:37Arthur!

0:25:41 > 0:25:43Michael.

0:25:43 > 0:25:45What's that?

0:25:45 > 0:25:47So you're never late for work.

0:25:52 > 0:25:54Welcome to the business, Michael.

0:25:54 > 0:25:57- Welcome to the business.- Thank you.

0:25:57 > 0:25:59Right, come on, let's get him drunk. Come here, you.

0:25:59 > 0:26:01All right, whisky.

0:26:01 > 0:26:05No whisky, he's at work tomorrow. Give him only dark mild.

0:26:05 > 0:26:08- A toast.- Toast.- To Michael.

0:26:08 > 0:26:09ALL: To Michael.

0:26:21 > 0:26:23DOOR OPENS

0:26:27 > 0:26:28Are you all right?

0:26:37 > 0:26:39- What is it? Just us?- Just us.

0:26:39 > 0:26:41Are we celebrating?

0:26:42 > 0:26:44Just taste this.

0:26:59 > 0:27:00What do you think, Arthur?

0:27:00 > 0:27:04Yeah, it's good. Good stuff, really nice.

0:27:04 > 0:27:06Too good for the Garrison.

0:27:06 > 0:27:09I suppose we could shift it to the toffs at the Eden Club.

0:27:10 > 0:27:12Why? What is it?

0:27:12 > 0:27:14That is part of an export drive.

0:27:15 > 0:27:18We now have a secure warehouse in Camden Town

0:27:18 > 0:27:21and secure passage to the Poplar Docks.

0:27:21 > 0:27:23So, on Monday morning,

0:27:23 > 0:27:26we'll be sending out our first export crate.

0:27:26 > 0:27:30A crate of Riley car spares...

0:27:30 > 0:27:33bound for Halifax, Nova Scotia.

0:27:33 > 0:27:34Where there's prohibition.

0:27:36 > 0:27:39Where there is prohibition.

0:27:39 > 0:27:40All over Canada and America,

0:27:40 > 0:27:44people are making their own booze in bathtubs.

0:27:44 > 0:27:49But rich people in New York, in Toronto and Boston

0:27:49 > 0:27:52are still paying a lot of money for the real stuff.

0:27:52 > 0:27:56So, on Monday, the first Shelby company crate

0:27:56 > 0:27:59will contain a thousand Riley carburettors.

0:27:59 > 0:28:03But hidden in the packing will be 500 bottles

0:28:03 > 0:28:08of the finest quality single malt Scotch whisky.

0:28:11 > 0:28:13And we, Shelby's, have a licence

0:28:13 > 0:28:16granted by the Minister Of The Empire himself,

0:28:16 > 0:28:18which means our crates won't be searched.

0:28:18 > 0:28:21And, Polly, all of the whisky will be packed at the docks,

0:28:21 > 0:28:25so Michael can do the books without being involved.

0:28:25 > 0:28:29Like I've been telling you all for a year now...

0:28:29 > 0:28:30motor cars are the future.

0:28:34 > 0:28:37So, how is your life then, Tom?

0:28:37 > 0:28:40On the up, Johnny, on the up.

0:28:40 > 0:28:43But, Tom, really, come on, how is it?

0:28:43 > 0:28:47You know I hate to see you not even married yet.

0:28:47 > 0:28:50I have a fine looking cousin, she'll make your life hell.

0:28:50 > 0:28:52You deserve her!

0:28:52 > 0:28:54HE CHUCKLES

0:28:54 > 0:28:57We haven't had a good old wedding in a long time.

0:29:00 > 0:29:02Have you had a look inside these boxes, then, Johnny?

0:29:02 > 0:29:05What do I want to look at car parts, Tommy,

0:29:05 > 0:29:06when I haven't even got a car?

0:29:08 > 0:29:12Faith in family's a fine thing, eh?

0:29:12 > 0:29:15And I wouldn't even be counting.

0:29:15 > 0:29:1725 becomes 24, then 24 it is.

0:29:17 > 0:29:21Oh, you know I'm no good with numbers, Tom.

0:29:21 > 0:29:26And if 24 ever became 23...

0:29:26 > 0:29:28then that'd be tax.

0:29:28 > 0:29:30We don't pay tax.

0:29:30 > 0:29:32No, Tom.

0:29:34 > 0:29:35Good man.

0:29:45 > 0:29:47I put an iron door on,

0:29:47 > 0:29:50and we've put iron bars on the windows and across the skylights.

0:29:50 > 0:29:54- Good.- So what will you be keeping in here, Tommy?

0:29:54 > 0:29:56Temptation, Billy. Temptation.

0:30:08 > 0:30:10DOOR OPENS

0:30:10 > 0:30:12Morning, Arthur. I was just passing.

0:30:31 > 0:30:32Whisky, Tommy?

0:30:33 > 0:30:35No, I've got a long drive ahead.

0:30:51 > 0:30:52Olives.

0:30:52 > 0:30:54Yes, it's miscellaneous.

0:30:55 > 0:30:57It's, erm, olives.

0:30:57 > 0:31:01Sticks, you know, with little bits of fucking onion and things.

0:31:03 > 0:31:05That's what that is.

0:31:07 > 0:31:09We've taken 600 pounds on olives.

0:31:10 > 0:31:12Yeah, with little bits of onion.

0:31:19 > 0:31:21I told you, Arthur...

0:31:24 > 0:31:27..the dealers sell the cocaine, we take a cut.

0:31:27 > 0:31:30We don't sell direct.

0:31:30 > 0:31:31The Home Secretary's cracking down

0:31:31 > 0:31:34- and I don't want this... - HE TAPS THE DESK

0:31:34 > 0:31:36..to fuck up everything else, you understand?

0:31:37 > 0:31:40I understand.

0:31:40 > 0:31:42How much of that 600 came out of your pocket?

0:31:50 > 0:31:52It's under control.

0:31:52 > 0:31:55I put you down here cos people are scared of you, Arthur.

0:31:57 > 0:32:01But if you don't straighten up, it'll be John's turn in London.

0:32:02 > 0:32:04No need.

0:32:04 > 0:32:05I can handle it.

0:32:07 > 0:32:08It's under control?

0:32:09 > 0:32:11It's under control.

0:32:21 > 0:32:23Fucking tidy profit, though, eh?

0:32:27 > 0:32:28It's happening, Tom.

0:35:41 > 0:35:43Personally, I find it quite amusing.

0:35:43 > 0:35:46Men like you are becoming very fashionable down here.

0:35:46 > 0:35:50No society party in London is complete without a gangster

0:35:50 > 0:35:51for the girls to go giddy for.

0:35:53 > 0:35:56Anyway, what is it that you want?

0:35:57 > 0:35:59I don't have any children, Ada...

0:36:01 > 0:36:04..so I have set up a trust fund.

0:36:19 > 0:36:21set up an account.

0:36:37 > 0:36:39Are you sick?

0:36:39 > 0:36:41I'm just doing what any ordinary man would,

0:37:15 > 0:37:18'I know about the Eden club, yes.'

0:37:18 > 0:37:21Did you know they were going to do it before they did it?

0:37:21 > 0:37:23Because that's the one who's in charge, isn't it?

0:37:23 > 0:37:26The one who knows before it happens.

0:37:26 > 0:37:28I know what I know, you know.

0:37:28 > 0:37:33If you don't know, then you don't fucking know, do you?

0:37:57 > 0:38:00All right, I'll talk to you. I'll fucking tell you how it was, right?

0:38:00 > 0:38:02What happened was this.

0:38:03 > 0:38:07All the time you were talking about dirty fucking Jews.

0:43:17 > 0:43:20Does he think she's not good enough for Epsom?

0:43:21 > 0:43:23She needs a lot of work.

0:43:23 > 0:43:25The race board will need convincing.

0:43:26 > 0:43:29- I imagine you have some influence. - Mm.

0:43:31 > 0:43:34That's the suggested programme for the next two months.

0:43:37 > 0:43:39Your glass is empty.

0:43:39 > 0:43:40It's fine.

0:43:42 > 0:43:44Are you hungry?

0:43:45 > 0:43:48Yes, a bit.

0:43:48 > 0:43:49I can prepare something.

0:43:51 > 0:43:52Do you have engine oil?

0:43:55 > 0:43:58Before I set off for Birmingham, the car needs oil.

0:44:00 > 0:44:02I'm sure my husband kept some in the garage.

0:44:02 > 0:44:04I can someone to do it.

0:44:04 > 0:44:06This evening or tomorrow?

0:44:10 > 0:44:13Well, we're so far from anywhere, people usually stay over.

0:44:15 > 0:44:17Especially before cars, when it was just carriages,

0:44:17 > 0:44:19people used to stay over all the time.

0:44:21 > 0:44:22But I have a car.

0:44:24 > 0:44:25Yes.

0:44:25 > 0:44:28And you have...

0:44:28 > 0:44:29engine oil.

0:44:30 > 0:44:32Probably.

0:44:35 > 0:44:36But it would be very usual.

0:44:38 > 0:44:40What would?

0:44:42 > 0:44:43For a guest to stay.

0:44:43 > 0:44:45We have a whole wing called the guest wing.

0:44:45 > 0:44:47Oh, you...

0:44:48 > 0:44:50You have a guest wing.

0:44:52 > 0:44:53Well...

0:45:01 > 0:45:02May.

0:45:12 > 0:45:14Have a smoke.

0:45:14 > 0:45:15Thank you.

0:45:23 > 0:45:25Ignore this. It's actually all right.

0:45:28 > 0:45:31I put all his photos in a drawer and locked it...

0:45:33 > 0:45:35..as if that was going to make a difference.

0:45:38 > 0:45:41I'm like a fucking lighthouse keeper...

0:45:44 > 0:45:46..out here on my own...

0:45:48 > 0:45:50..keeping his flame burning.

0:45:50 > 0:45:54But, of course, when anyone sees a lighthouse

0:45:54 > 0:45:56they stay clear, don't they?

0:46:08 > 0:46:09Now, do you have a map?

0:46:13 > 0:46:15Of the house. Do you have a map?

0:46:18 > 0:46:22Because I'm not going to be able to find my way in the dark.

0:46:26 > 0:46:29You see, at midnight,

0:46:29 > 0:46:32I'm going to leave my wing

0:46:32 > 0:46:34and I'm going to come find you.

0:46:36 > 0:46:39And I'm going to turn the handle of your bedroom door

0:46:39 > 0:46:41without making a sound

0:46:41 > 0:46:43and none of the maids will know.

0:46:44 > 0:46:46You don't know maids.

0:46:49 > 0:46:51They hear a pin drop?

0:46:51 > 0:46:55If there's a man in the house, they listen.

0:46:55 > 0:46:56They take turns.

0:46:57 > 0:46:59So, let them listen.

0:47:04 > 0:47:08Right. Day rate, seven shillings. Loading, unloading.

0:47:08 > 0:47:10Night rate, three. Total ten.

0:47:12 > 0:47:14Let's go and get a drink.

0:47:14 > 0:47:15No, I'm all right.

0:47:15 > 0:47:17Come on, it's payday.

0:47:17 > 0:47:18Everybody has a drink on payday.

0:47:18 > 0:47:20Not me.

0:47:20 > 0:47:23You think your mum don't have a drink on payday?

0:47:23 > 0:47:27You think the Lord Almighty don't have a drink on payday?

0:47:29 > 0:47:31Man, it's on fire out there,

0:47:31 > 0:47:34women from the BSA offices, honest.

0:47:34 > 0:47:37They go out on their own without their men these days,

0:47:37 > 0:47:38in twos and threes now.

0:47:39 > 0:47:43Mickey, they go out in twos and threes and buy their own drinks.

0:47:48 > 0:47:52The Marquis, that's where the BSA secretaries go.

0:47:56 > 0:48:01Look, they won't serve a black man without a Shelby by his side.

0:48:06 > 0:48:08So you're using me?

0:48:11 > 0:48:12Yeah.

0:49:02 > 0:49:03So leave.

0:49:05 > 0:49:07Look, my dad is the preacher round here.

0:49:07 > 0:49:09He has connections, ask anybody.

0:49:09 > 0:49:12I couldn't give a fuck who he is.

0:49:12 > 0:49:14I'm telling you to leave it, Paddy.

0:49:14 > 0:49:16And I'm telling this darkie to get out of here.

0:49:16 > 0:49:18You know something? Fuck off.

0:49:57 > 0:49:59Sir...

0:49:59 > 0:50:01Sir, I'm sorry, I didn't know.

0:50:01 > 0:50:02Get out!

0:50:02 > 0:50:04Get out the fucking pub.

0:50:04 > 0:50:06I really didn't know.

0:50:06 > 0:50:08Fuck, let's go. Let's go!

0:50:10 > 0:50:12We ordered some drinks

0:50:34 > 0:50:36All right, anyway, I need a fucking drink.

0:50:36 > 0:50:38- It's on you. - It's on me? You just got paid.

0:50:38 > 0:50:40Yeah, from you.

0:51:04 > 0:51:06She can do things with her...

0:51:10 > 0:51:13If Finn would just piss off I'd explain a little bit better.

0:51:13 > 0:51:15Well, if it's so good, why are you here?

0:51:15 > 0:51:17A decent pint.
