0:00:09 > 0:00:11Whoever it is up there, he gave the wrong name.

0:00:11 > 0:00:13Can you do it? Can you kill?

0:00:13 > 0:00:16You know why he didn't come, don't you? My bloody man.

0:00:16 > 0:00:17'There was a fire at his restaurant.'

0:01:01 > 0:01:05# Take a little walk to the edge of town

0:01:05 > 0:01:06# And go across the tracks

0:01:09 > 0:01:12# Where the viaduct looms like a bird of doom

0:01:12 > 0:01:17# As it shifts and cracks

0:01:17 > 0:01:21# Where secrets lie in the border fires

0:01:21 > 0:01:23# In the humming wires

0:01:23 > 0:01:26# Hey, man, you know you're never coming back

0:01:26 > 0:01:30# Past the square, past the bridge Past the mills, past the stacks

0:01:33 > 0:01:38# On a gathering storm comes a tall handsome man

0:01:38 > 0:01:42# In a dusty black coat with a red right hand... #

0:01:53 > 0:01:55Your brothers came to my house.

0:01:57 > 0:02:00They said the Peaky Blinders had business with me.

0:02:02 > 0:02:03You're not afraid of me?

0:02:12 > 0:02:17So, what is it you want from a simple working man?

0:02:17 > 0:02:18Fear.

0:02:23 > 0:02:25Poor Mr Nutley drank too much.

0:02:27 > 0:02:29He went for a piss on the train tracks

0:02:29 > 0:02:32that run behind the factory.

0:02:32 > 0:02:33Train came.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37They found his body in Saltley broken into bits.

0:02:37 > 0:02:42I know what you do. Tell me what you want.

0:02:47 > 0:02:49There.

0:02:49 > 0:02:53The lot, complete warehouse. Bays four, five and six.

0:02:53 > 0:02:55You have the keys?

0:02:55 > 0:02:56Yes, I have the keys.

0:02:58 > 0:02:59What's in bay four?

0:03:00 > 0:03:04Completed type 40s and type 21s waiting for the paint shop.

0:03:04 > 0:03:06Bay five?

0:03:06 > 0:03:08Paint shop and parts.

0:03:08 > 0:03:09Uh-uh.

0:03:09 > 0:03:11So, it's bay six.

0:03:11 > 0:03:12What is?

0:03:15 > 0:03:17Give me the keys to bay six.

0:03:18 > 0:03:21It's just old stock in storage.

0:03:21 > 0:03:23Give me the keys to bay six.

0:03:50 > 0:03:51For your trouble.

0:03:52 > 0:03:54Give it to your charity...

0:04:03 > 0:04:06I'm only doing this for the safety of my family.

0:05:32 > 0:05:34So, will it be just boys in your charitable institution

0:05:34 > 0:05:36or girls, as well?

0:05:38 > 0:05:39Both.

0:05:41 > 0:05:43You must divide them.

0:05:43 > 0:05:47You know how the little creatures can get.

0:05:47 > 0:05:50Where are your people? You said they'd be here by five.

0:05:51 > 0:05:53They're a law unto themselves.

0:05:53 > 0:05:56You can never quite grasp who they are.

0:05:56 > 0:05:58Like gripping wet soap.

0:06:00 > 0:06:01I've done my research.

0:06:05 > 0:06:09Perhaps you know them as the, er...Economic League.

0:06:09 > 0:06:13Only once did I get a letter from them headed the Vigilance Committee.

0:06:13 > 0:06:16Which tips the hand a little.

0:06:16 > 0:06:17Nope.

0:06:17 > 0:06:20The name I've heard is Section D.

0:06:21 > 0:06:24That's what Special Branch calls them.

0:06:24 > 0:06:28Businessmen, MPs, army officers.

0:06:32 > 0:06:35Yes, it will be fun to bring such men to a Gypsy scrapyard.

0:06:38 > 0:06:40You asked for privacy.

0:06:40 > 0:06:44Since the election, the Government has decided that we are the enemy.

0:06:45 > 0:06:49When all we're trying to do is save the country from revolution.

0:06:51 > 0:06:53Are you political, Mr Shelby?

0:06:55 > 0:06:58Because these odd fellows believe that the time is coming soon

0:06:58 > 0:07:00when everyone must choose a side.

0:07:02 > 0:07:05Are your people coming, or are they not coming?

0:07:05 > 0:07:08Mr Shelby, you will learn that these men are far too grand

0:07:08 > 0:07:10for the clock to govern them.

0:07:11 > 0:07:15You'll get used to meeting in the small hours of the morning.

0:07:15 > 0:07:17They're like monks.

0:07:20 > 0:07:23So, when is your charitable institute opening?

0:07:23 > 0:07:25When I fucking say.

0:07:27 > 0:07:30Well, I'll stop by from time to time.

0:07:30 > 0:07:32Hear confession from the little creatures.

0:07:34 > 0:07:37You will meet Mr Patrick Jarvis, MP.

0:07:37 > 0:07:40He'll probably want to become a trustee.

0:07:40 > 0:07:45It's just his thing, to drop by in the evenings after a few drinks.

0:07:45 > 0:07:46We'll make it a formal arrangement

0:07:46 > 0:07:49as part of the... bigger deal between us.

0:07:51 > 0:07:52I will have an office there.

0:07:52 > 0:07:55THOMAS CLEARS THROAT

0:08:03 > 0:08:06My God. Some devil gets into you, doesn't it, boy?

0:08:08 > 0:08:12Mr Shelby, if I want to play the squire

0:08:12 > 0:08:16in your place of false charity then I will.

0:08:16 > 0:08:20Ambition for respectability doesn't make you a saint.

0:08:20 > 0:08:21Am I wrong?

0:08:26 > 0:08:28Oh, Lord. That's six, is it?

0:08:30 > 0:08:34Well, I will wish you a good day.

0:08:34 > 0:08:35The fuck are you going?

0:08:35 > 0:08:38Did I not make it clear?

0:08:38 > 0:08:40They said if they weren't here by morning prayers

0:08:40 > 0:08:43then the meeting has been cancelled.

0:08:43 > 0:08:47Perhaps Mr Jarvis has been held up at the House of Commons.

0:08:48 > 0:08:52Perhaps Admiral Hall's been held up at the House of Lords.

0:08:52 > 0:08:54Am I impressing you?

0:08:54 > 0:08:57Or perhaps they've decided they don't care for doing business

0:08:57 > 0:09:00with Gypsies in scrap-metal yards.

0:09:00 > 0:09:02Which would be a poorer outcome for you.

0:09:02 > 0:09:05You give them a message from me, priest.

0:09:07 > 0:09:10You tell them I've been to the factories

0:09:10 > 0:09:12and the armoured vehicles are in good condition.

0:09:15 > 0:09:16How many?

0:09:19 > 0:09:2027.

0:09:20 > 0:09:22And the foreman is ours.

0:09:25 > 0:09:27This is someone you will meet,

0:09:27 > 0:09:30today, at the Ritz.

0:09:30 > 0:09:32I have meetings today.

0:09:32 > 0:09:33You have one meeting.

0:09:33 > 0:09:36This one. In London.

0:09:37 > 0:09:40So you'd best catch the milk train.

0:10:39 > 0:10:40Cold.

0:10:40 > 0:10:41My apologies, sir.

0:10:41 > 0:10:43And how many times I asked you to tell them

0:10:43 > 0:10:45about sending us the servants' crockery?

0:10:45 > 0:10:48I have no control over the choice of service, sir.

0:10:48 > 0:10:52Hmm. And what about the yesterday egg? And last year's fish?

0:10:52 > 0:10:54And last century's tea leaves in a cracked pot?

0:10:54 > 0:10:56Sir, I have a list of today's social engagements

0:10:56 > 0:10:59- if you'd like to hear them. - Oh, are we in a rush today?

0:10:59 > 0:11:02I have duties at the main house, sir.

0:11:02 > 0:11:05Luncheon at the Ritz with Duke Mikhail Mikhailovich.

0:11:06 > 0:11:08Cancelled.

0:11:08 > 0:11:10What reason?

0:11:10 > 0:11:12He says he's unwell, sir.

0:11:14 > 0:11:18You're due to have tea at three with Prince Vsevolod Ivanovich

0:11:18 > 0:11:20and Lady Mary Lewington, sir...

0:11:22 > 0:11:24Mm. Good.

0:11:24 > 0:11:27I miss out on the bore and meet the beauty.

0:11:27 > 0:11:29However, in the absence of the Duke,

0:11:29 > 0:11:32the Prince and the Lady too have cancelled,

0:11:32 > 0:11:33sir.

0:11:36 > 0:11:39Other than that your day is your own.

0:11:40 > 0:11:43You do have one business appointment

0:11:43 > 0:11:44to discuss automobiles.

0:11:44 > 0:11:47With a Mr Thomas Shelby, sir.

0:11:51 > 0:11:54MUSIC: DNA by the Kills

0:12:14 > 0:12:16You asked for a meeting out in the open.

0:12:17 > 0:12:20Fresh air and the fine aroma of shit.

0:12:22 > 0:12:24"Neutral ground," you said.

0:12:24 > 0:12:27This is hardly neutral ground.

0:12:27 > 0:12:30Well, it's what you've got.

0:12:30 > 0:12:35So, por favivo, sit down.

0:12:35 > 0:12:37- Where is Thomas? - He got called away.

0:12:37 > 0:12:39- He said he'd be here. - Yeah, he's busy.

0:12:39 > 0:12:42I just told you he got called away. What do you want?

0:12:48 > 0:12:53There has been a peace between the Peaky Blinders

0:12:53 > 0:12:56and the Changretta family for two years now...

0:12:56 > 0:12:58Do you want some tea or not?

0:12:58 > 0:13:02Here, Finn, pour the Italians some English tea. Go on.

0:13:02 > 0:13:05We don't want fucking tea!

0:13:09 > 0:13:11We want an explanation.

0:13:11 > 0:13:13Well, I'll have fucking tea.

0:13:13 > 0:13:16Explanation for what?

0:13:16 > 0:13:20The Little Venice restaurant in Forge Street was burnt down.

0:13:20 > 0:13:22No, no, couldn't have been us. We was at a wedding.

0:13:22 > 0:13:27You burnt it down to stop my son being at that same wedding.

0:13:27 > 0:13:29Yeah, he wasn't missed.

0:13:33 > 0:13:36You are such big boys now.

0:13:36 > 0:13:40Where once you borrowed clothes from us to look like men.

0:13:40 > 0:13:42How's the tea, Arthur? Is it...?

0:13:44 > 0:13:45It's cold.

0:13:49 > 0:13:54Please tell Tommy that we pay him whatever he asks us to pay.

0:13:54 > 0:13:57We stay out of the city and off the tracks.

0:13:57 > 0:14:01But you tell him from me

0:14:01 > 0:14:06that my son will walk with any woman in this city.

0:14:06 > 0:14:08Any woman he chooses.

0:14:08 > 0:14:12Even if that woman works for the Emperor, Thomas Shelby.

0:14:12 > 0:14:14My son is in love...

0:14:14 > 0:14:16JOHN SNIGGERS

0:14:16 > 0:14:18Sorry.

0:14:18 > 0:14:20Do excuse me.

0:14:20 > 0:14:21Carry on.

0:14:25 > 0:14:28And if he wishes,

0:14:28 > 0:14:30he will walk with the woman he loves.

0:14:30 > 0:14:31OK.

0:14:33 > 0:14:35Y'know...

0:14:35 > 0:14:38It'd be hard for your son to walk anywhere

0:14:38 > 0:14:41with a bullet in each knee, wouldn't it?

0:14:48 > 0:14:50Too much.

0:14:52 > 0:14:54You said too much, my friend.

0:14:55 > 0:14:59Sabini says, "Suck and swallow." But no. Too much.

0:15:01 > 0:15:03I spit.

0:15:09 > 0:15:11Oh, fucking... Bit strong.

0:15:17 > 0:15:19- JOHN LAUGHS - Fucking hell.

0:15:19 > 0:15:24Isiah. Put two extra men on our pubs in Nechells.

0:15:24 > 0:15:26What you talking about, Arthur?

0:15:26 > 0:15:28We're not scared of fucking eyeties any more.

0:15:28 > 0:15:32Don't tell Tommy about the chair and clean this fucking shit up.

0:15:33 > 0:15:36We're not scared of fucking wops!

0:15:36 > 0:15:38All right, John.

0:15:38 > 0:15:39Arthur!

0:15:44 > 0:15:45Hello, Ada.

0:15:49 > 0:15:50Tommy Shelby in a library.

0:15:50 > 0:15:53LOUDLY: I'm here to borrow a book about the Russian Revolution.

0:15:53 > 0:15:54Shh!

0:16:01 > 0:16:04Have you got a new wharf at Maida Vale now?

0:16:04 > 0:16:06I've got a new wharf everywhere now.

0:16:06 > 0:16:09I sometimes see our trucks driving past.

0:16:09 > 0:16:10"Our" trucks?

0:16:11 > 0:16:13Shelby trucks.

0:16:14 > 0:16:16Why the interest?

0:16:16 > 0:16:18I just want to broaden my mind.

0:16:18 > 0:16:21Well, this is a list of the bastards who ran away.

0:16:21 > 0:16:25And this is written from the point of view of the people's struggle.

0:16:25 > 0:16:26Uh-huh.

0:16:28 > 0:16:32There was a Russian at your wedding.

0:16:32 > 0:16:34He wouldn't tell me how come he got invited.

0:16:37 > 0:16:42Well, sometimes exiled Russian aristocrats

0:16:42 > 0:16:46get invited to social occasions to add a bit of class.

0:16:46 > 0:16:48Is that why he was there?

0:16:49 > 0:16:51Why do you want to know?

0:16:51 > 0:16:55He was nice. Maybe I'd like to see him again.

0:16:55 > 0:16:57Would that be possible?

0:16:57 > 0:16:58No. That would not be possible.

0:16:58 > 0:17:01What business do you have with Russians, Tommy?

0:17:03 > 0:17:05Can I rip this page out?

0:17:05 > 0:17:07No, you cannot rip that page out. Property of the people.

0:17:07 > 0:17:10Tommy, when Arthur took the Russian away he had his killing pistol

0:17:10 > 0:17:14under his jacket. And then Johnny lit a fire in the woods.

0:17:14 > 0:17:17You want all the details because you're bored, Ada.

0:17:20 > 0:17:23You used to chase rats with a revolver, Ada.

0:17:23 > 0:17:25Shh! For fuck's sake.

0:17:25 > 0:17:27I might just have a job for you after all.

0:17:55 > 0:17:57Did we run Kempton yesterday, or not?

0:17:57 > 0:17:59Danny Lee got drunk.

0:17:59 > 0:18:01Instead of injecting the horses with the cocaine,

0:18:01 > 0:18:04he decided to share it with his cousins.

0:18:05 > 0:18:06Jesus Christ.

0:18:06 > 0:18:08He's your brother-in-law.

0:18:08 > 0:18:10Tell Esme to speak to him about it.

0:18:10 > 0:18:13Look. Before I start...

0:18:16 > 0:18:18..I don't want you to do anything about this.

0:18:20 > 0:18:21About what?

0:18:23 > 0:18:25Vicente Changretta's son.

0:18:25 > 0:18:27The one Lizzie was stepping out with.

0:18:27 > 0:18:28What, Angel?

0:18:28 > 0:18:30He's no bigger than two pence worth of change.

0:18:30 > 0:18:33He heard you threatened him directly to shoot him in the knees.

0:18:33 > 0:18:35And now he's going around Nechells

0:18:35 > 0:18:37telling everyone he's going to kill you.

0:18:37 > 0:18:39This is Lizzie's fault to start with,

0:18:39 > 0:18:41Tommy's for leaving it up to you.

0:18:41 > 0:18:43What are you talking about?

0:18:43 > 0:18:45We run London.

0:18:45 > 0:18:47We run the North, run the whole fucking country.

0:18:47 > 0:18:50What do we care about some fucking Nechells Green eyeties?

0:18:50 > 0:18:53We don't need to be getting involved in all these little piss pots.

0:18:53 > 0:18:54What does Arthur say?

0:18:54 > 0:18:56That's why I'm here...

0:18:56 > 0:18:58and not him.

0:18:58 > 0:19:01If he said it, there'd be a fight.

0:19:01 > 0:19:04He says...

0:19:04 > 0:19:05apologise.

0:19:09 > 0:19:11He fucking said what?

0:19:11 > 0:19:13We own the city.

0:19:13 > 0:19:16But we don't need to rub everybody's noses in it.

0:19:16 > 0:19:18If the old man decides to make a stand,

0:19:18 > 0:19:20- he might get Sabini feeling sentimental...- Sabini's done.

0:19:24 > 0:19:26They're all done.

0:19:27 > 0:19:29And they all pay up.

0:19:30 > 0:19:34But we don't...want...rebellions.

0:19:37 > 0:19:39What does, erm... What does Tommy say?

0:19:39 > 0:19:42Tommy's busy. He left me in charge.

0:19:42 > 0:19:43What... What do you say?

0:19:48 > 0:19:49Compromise.

0:19:49 > 0:19:50Mm.

0:19:51 > 0:19:53I've asked Lizzie to do it for you.

0:19:53 > 0:19:56She's going to meet him, break up with him for good.

0:19:56 > 0:19:59Apologise for any inconvenience. Say it was all her fault.

0:19:59 > 0:20:01Fuck's sake!

0:20:01 > 0:20:03You know what all this is?

0:20:03 > 0:20:05This is Arthur's fucking missus.

0:20:05 > 0:20:08Turn the other fucking cheek.

0:20:08 > 0:20:10We'll be handing out Bibles in the fucking Bull Ring

0:20:10 > 0:20:13- with her cousins... - John, you don't have to do anything.

0:20:13 > 0:20:15- Ah, it's done. - Lizzie will do it for you.

0:20:15 > 0:20:18Then it'll all calm down and nobody will lose face.

0:20:18 > 0:20:20I'll take his fucking face, how about that?

0:20:20 > 0:20:22John, do nothing. Oh!

0:20:31 > 0:20:33I believe you have a reservation

0:20:33 > 0:20:36for a private room in the name of Mr Romanov.

0:20:39 > 0:20:42You work for Mr Romanov?

0:20:42 > 0:20:45- Yes.- For his household or his office?

0:20:45 > 0:20:47Is there a problem?

0:20:47 > 0:20:49I'm afraid without the presence of the Duke Mikhail Mikhailovich

0:20:49 > 0:20:55or Lady Lewington we shall have to ask for payment in advance.

0:20:55 > 0:20:57Can I ask why?

0:20:57 > 0:21:00Already Mr Romanov has four outstanding bills with us.

0:21:00 > 0:21:03One for accommodation and three for dining.

0:21:03 > 0:21:05And two banquets which we wrote off.

0:21:05 > 0:21:09We've been asked to be understanding of our Russian friends

0:21:09 > 0:21:11by His Majesty, but it has been some time now.

0:21:11 > 0:21:12And...

0:21:15 > 0:21:19- May I ask your name, sir? - Shelby. Thomas Shelby.

0:21:19 > 0:21:22And in the future I'll be dining here quite a bit.

0:21:22 > 0:21:26- Then I shall put you on our special list.- You do that.

0:21:26 > 0:21:28Here is a menu.

0:21:28 > 0:21:31I recommend the teal and the pork.

0:21:31 > 0:21:34Although your guest, I'm sure, will order the caviar.

0:21:34 > 0:21:37Myself, my wife and my niece travelled by train,

0:21:37 > 0:21:41then coach, then on foot through the Villa Ai-Todor in Crimea.

0:21:41 > 0:21:44On that journey I lost a toe.

0:21:44 > 0:21:48I don't know. I woke up one morning and it was gone.

0:21:48 > 0:21:51All of a sudden I saw a dog and it was eating it.

0:21:51 > 0:21:53They said the British had taken pity on us.

0:21:53 > 0:21:56And we were taken aboard HMS Marlborough.

0:21:56 > 0:21:59I immediately kissed the steel deck. My lips froze to it.

0:21:59 > 0:22:03And then of course, I thanked God and your King for saving us.

0:22:04 > 0:22:08Though since then he has done nothing but humiliate me...

0:22:08 > 0:22:11Who? God or the King?

0:22:11 > 0:22:12Sometimes both, Mr Shelby.

0:22:14 > 0:22:17Mm. So, you met my niece already.

0:22:19 > 0:22:20Tatiana.

0:22:22 > 0:22:24Are you in love with her yet? Hm?

0:22:25 > 0:22:29You would be wise not to love Russian woman, you know.

0:22:29 > 0:22:31Better not speak of Russian women.

0:22:31 > 0:22:34That's the worst thing about being here.

0:22:34 > 0:22:37Russian women, they know how to hold it

0:22:37 > 0:22:42and most important they know exactly when to let it go.

0:22:42 > 0:22:43Your cock, I mean.

0:22:45 > 0:22:47English women, they do not know so much, you know?

0:22:52 > 0:22:54Did he die well, the spy?

0:22:57 > 0:22:58He begged for his life.

0:23:01 > 0:23:03I heard you had your brother do it.

0:23:07 > 0:23:10So, you trust your family. Like me.

0:23:11 > 0:23:13Like us, Mr Shelby.

0:23:16 > 0:23:18Let's talk about trust, then, shall we?

0:23:20 > 0:23:23You are not a direct relation to the Romanovs.

0:23:23 > 0:23:25You are Georgian.

0:23:32 > 0:23:35And the palace where you live in Hampton Court

0:23:35 > 0:23:36is in fact a grace-and-favour house

0:23:36 > 0:23:40donated to you rent-free by the British Crown.

0:23:40 > 0:23:44The maitre d' here tells me that you are in some debt.

0:23:44 > 0:23:48Both here and other places, I imagine.

0:23:48 > 0:23:52See, I've been given ten... but I've been promised 40.

0:23:54 > 0:23:57Already I've had to have a man killed.

0:23:57 > 0:23:59That sort of work does not come cheap.

0:24:00 > 0:24:01Do you understand?

0:24:28 > 0:24:30Let me tell you something, Mr Shelby.

0:24:32 > 0:24:34Before we boarded the ship,

0:24:34 > 0:24:37my niece sewed 16 diamonds into her velvet dress.

0:24:37 > 0:24:43And also she had two sapphires in her intimate places.

0:24:43 > 0:24:47My wife managed two sapphires and five diamonds.

0:24:48 > 0:24:51This is already for the killing of the spy.

0:24:52 > 0:24:54And down payment on future services.

0:24:58 > 0:25:03Now tell me, where do you keep these things? In a...bank?

0:25:03 > 0:25:05How could we plead poverty around London society

0:25:05 > 0:25:07if we used banks, Mr Shelby?

0:25:10 > 0:25:16Well, you should know Hatton Gardens is not safe.

0:25:16 > 0:25:19That is why we have our own treasury.

0:25:22 > 0:25:26Very well. I shall have my people check its veracity...

0:25:31 > 0:25:36Before the revolution began, we were soft and weak.

0:25:36 > 0:25:37We made compromise.

0:25:39 > 0:25:40But let me tell you.

0:25:41 > 0:25:45We will never be soft and weak again.

0:25:45 > 0:25:46Do you understand?

0:25:50 > 0:25:51Good day, Mr Shelby.

0:26:12 > 0:26:15This way, Mr Changretta.

0:26:15 > 0:26:17HE SPEAKS OWN LANGUAGE

0:26:17 > 0:26:19Just there, sir. There.

0:26:55 > 0:26:57I hear you want to kill me.

0:26:57 > 0:27:01Get fucking up! Stay away from Lizzie.

0:27:10 > 0:27:12HE SCREAMS

0:27:12 > 0:27:16By order of the Peaky fucking Blinders.

0:27:31 > 0:27:34Going to introduce me, Michael?

0:27:34 > 0:27:37This is Charlotte Murray. Her father makes cars.

0:27:39 > 0:27:42I really enjoyed your wedding, Mr Shelby.

0:27:44 > 0:27:47Polly said you should call her. There's been some trouble.

0:27:47 > 0:27:48What trouble?

0:27:50 > 0:27:53I'm guessing the stuff she doesn't like to tell me about.

0:27:55 > 0:27:56Nice to meet you.

0:28:12 > 0:28:15All right, Finn, thanks for coming. Fuck off.

0:28:16 > 0:28:18Finn, you can stay.

0:28:21 > 0:28:24Sit down, John. Sit down.

0:28:31 > 0:28:33John, you cut Angel Changretta.

0:28:34 > 0:28:37Even though Arthur told you to apologise.

0:28:37 > 0:28:38Mm-hm.

0:28:38 > 0:28:41- Polly told you to compromise.- Mm-hm.

0:28:41 > 0:28:44You chose not to listen to Mr Apologise or Mrs Compromise.

0:28:46 > 0:28:49And now I've got an Italian walking around my back yard

0:28:49 > 0:28:51saying he's going to kill my brother.

0:28:53 > 0:28:55So, what do we do, John? Do we apologise, or do we compromise?

0:29:03 > 0:29:05Oh, it was just something John said as a joke.

0:29:07 > 0:29:09Yeah, but he's your brother as well, Arthur.

0:29:09 > 0:29:11Yeah.

0:29:11 > 0:29:14And I didn't want to start a war over something

0:29:14 > 0:29:15John said without meaning it.

0:29:19 > 0:29:23So, should he apologise in Italian...or in English?

0:29:26 > 0:29:30Or should we ask them which fucking language they'd prefer?

0:29:30 > 0:29:31I'm not clear.

0:29:34 > 0:29:37You said while this business was going on in London you wanted peace at home.

0:29:37 > 0:29:39And the only way to guarantee peace

0:29:39 > 0:29:42is by making the prospect of war seem hopeless.

0:29:42 > 0:29:46If you apologise once, you do it again and again and again.

0:29:46 > 0:29:49Like taking bricks out of the wall of your fucking house.

0:29:49 > 0:29:51- Do you want to bring the house down, Arthur?- Ah...

0:29:51 > 0:29:54If you're soft on rebellion, it'll grow.

0:29:54 > 0:29:56Bloody "soft on rebellion".

0:29:56 > 0:29:58You did the right thing, John.

0:29:58 > 0:29:59Now we go on the offensive.

0:29:59 > 0:30:02We take two of the Changretta pubs. We take 'em tonight. That's it.

0:30:02 > 0:30:04Oh, right. For Christ's sake, why?

0:30:04 > 0:30:08- Hey?!- Why?- Why? Because we fucking can.

0:30:08 > 0:30:11Because we fucking can, and if we can, we do.

0:30:11 > 0:30:16And if we lift our heel off their necks now, they'll just come at us.

0:30:17 > 0:30:21Remember, these are the bastards that wanted Danny Whizz-Bang dead.

0:30:27 > 0:30:29You're getting soft, brother.

0:30:29 > 0:30:30Soft and weak.

0:30:30 > 0:30:32Save the Bible for Sundays, eh?

0:30:37 > 0:30:41Finn, I need to get to Hockley, then home.

0:30:41 > 0:30:42It's been a long day.

0:30:47 > 0:30:51You take the Wrexham, you take the Five Bells.

0:30:51 > 0:30:53You get them signed over to us in the morning.

0:30:53 > 0:30:55You make sure the coppers stay away.

0:30:57 > 0:31:00Don't use the fucking phones, all right?

0:31:00 > 0:31:02There's someone listening.

0:31:10 > 0:31:11Well done.

0:31:17 > 0:31:20POLLY SLURPS HER TEA

0:33:08 > 0:33:09Not hungry, Mrs Shelby?

0:33:09 > 0:33:14Hungry? Oh, no. Sorry, Mary.

0:33:14 > 0:33:15You'll ruin your eyes.

0:33:19 > 0:33:20Tommy.

0:33:29 > 0:33:30Hello.

0:33:30 > 0:33:31Hello.

0:33:33 > 0:33:34Sit down.

0:33:40 > 0:33:42- Guess.- Guess what?

0:33:47 > 0:33:49- He said yes.- Who?

0:33:49 > 0:33:52The leader of Birmingham City Council

0:33:52 > 0:33:54is going to attend the dinner.

0:33:55 > 0:33:59Everyone has said yes. Everyone.

0:33:59 > 0:34:02I keep having to change the catering.

0:34:02 > 0:34:05And my writing hand is almost falling off.

0:34:05 > 0:34:07What are you writing for? I bought you a typewriter.

0:34:07 > 0:34:10You don't write letters of a social occasion on a typewriter.

0:34:10 > 0:34:12Oh. Forgive me.

0:34:15 > 0:34:18I have the drawings of what they plan to do

0:34:18 > 0:34:21with the grounds of the house.

0:34:21 > 0:34:25- There'll be an area for the children to play. Look.- Mm-hm.

0:34:25 > 0:34:27And the Birmingham Charity Commission have agreed to set aside

0:34:27 > 0:34:29the three rotten floorboards upstairs

0:34:29 > 0:34:32and grant us a licence within the month.

0:34:35 > 0:34:37- You're not listening to me. - Yes, I am.

0:34:38 > 0:34:41- I am.- Do you think I am becoming obsessed?

0:34:42 > 0:34:43Yes.

0:34:45 > 0:34:48Should I ask you how your day was, like a good wife?

0:34:48 > 0:34:49No.

0:34:52 > 0:34:56I'm guessing that means your day was not as successful as mine.

0:34:56 > 0:34:58Well, depends on how you measure success.

0:35:00 > 0:35:02See, personally,

0:35:03 > 0:35:05I measure it in sapphires.

0:35:05 > 0:35:07Oh...

0:35:07 > 0:35:09Sapphires? Mmm.

0:35:12 > 0:35:13Close your eyes.

0:35:17 > 0:35:18(Close your eyes.)

0:35:34 > 0:35:36All right, you can open them.

0:35:38 > 0:35:40Where the hell did you get that?

0:35:42 > 0:35:43It's beautiful.

0:35:47 > 0:35:49You can wear it to the foundation dinner.

0:35:51 > 0:35:54Don't you think it is a bit much for a charity dinner?

0:35:54 > 0:35:57Grace, this is fucking Birmingham.

0:35:59 > 0:36:02Good taste is for people who can't afford sapphires.

0:36:04 > 0:36:05Oh, Mr Shelby!

0:36:34 > 0:36:36Did you wind the clock, Arthur?

0:36:39 > 0:36:40We should go to bed.

0:36:47 > 0:36:49I need to...

0:36:49 > 0:36:50I need to go out.

0:36:53 > 0:36:54Some business I need to do.

0:37:01 > 0:37:02Business?

0:37:09 > 0:37:11But you only just got in.

0:37:11 > 0:37:12I won't be long.

0:37:12 > 0:37:15It's ten o'clock.

0:37:15 > 0:37:16It's pouring with rain.

0:37:18 > 0:37:21I'll go. I'll go and I'll come back.

0:37:23 > 0:37:24Arthur.

0:37:27 > 0:37:32Working in the dark is for the devil. We said.

0:37:33 > 0:37:36Start to do your work in the light.

0:37:36 > 0:37:39You have your own light.

0:37:39 > 0:37:40Inside your head.

0:37:44 > 0:37:45It's just paperwork.

0:37:56 > 0:37:59I need you to clear your men out of Nechells tonight.

0:38:03 > 0:38:10- I thought you boys were a bit grand for this sort of thing these days. - Moss.

0:38:10 > 0:38:14Mind you, I think Tom enjoys the sport.

0:38:17 > 0:38:19Something like that.

0:38:20 > 0:38:22- Goodnight, Arthur.- 'Night.

0:39:02 > 0:39:03Arthur, what are you doing?

0:39:08 > 0:39:09Arthur?

0:39:13 > 0:39:15We're going to the Garrison.

0:39:15 > 0:39:17No. I'm going home, John.

0:39:20 > 0:39:22Go fuck yourself, Arthur.

0:39:23 > 0:39:25Yeah. Fuck off!

0:39:30 > 0:39:32VIOLENT SCREAMS

0:40:14 > 0:40:16- Come here, Charlie.- Charlie.

0:40:18 > 0:40:21This big man and his brother are going to make us a lot of money.

0:40:21 > 0:40:23Or lose us a lot of money.

0:40:23 > 0:40:26Who cares when they're such beautiful beasts, eh?

0:40:54 > 0:40:56PASSIONATE MOANS

0:40:59 > 0:41:01You've got a house, John.

0:41:01 > 0:41:02Oh, fuck...

0:41:03 > 0:41:05Full of kids.

0:41:05 > 0:41:07Well, you've got a maid to look after the kids.

0:41:07 > 0:41:08Yeah, she listens.

0:41:11 > 0:41:14Have you even done the odds for tomorrow?

0:41:14 > 0:41:16Something urgent came up.

0:41:16 > 0:41:19They get worse when they're pregnant, Tom.

0:41:19 > 0:41:21John.

0:41:21 > 0:41:24Esme, I need you to leave now. Go out the back door.

0:41:24 > 0:41:25And lock it after you.

0:41:27 > 0:41:29When I left the office...

0:41:29 > 0:41:33There's two truckfuls of coppers out there, John.

0:41:33 > 0:41:35Where the fuck is Arthur?

0:41:35 > 0:41:37He goes home to the Madonna Of Moseley on the stroke of five.

0:41:37 > 0:41:39You need to talk to him, Tom.

0:41:39 > 0:41:42Esme, please go now. Please.

0:41:42 > 0:41:43This is very fucking unusual.

0:41:43 > 0:41:45So, call Moss.

0:41:45 > 0:41:46They're from out of town.

0:41:46 > 0:41:48London, by the looks of their boots.

0:41:48 > 0:41:51Since when are we scared of coppers, Tom?

0:41:51 > 0:41:52Since things changed.

0:41:52 > 0:41:53SCREAM

0:41:54 > 0:41:56Scotland Yard!

0:41:56 > 0:41:57Flying Squad.

0:42:00 > 0:42:03John, it's the Yard. It's the Yard. Put it down. Put it down.

0:42:03 > 0:42:04Down on your knees.

0:42:04 > 0:42:07Hands on your heads! Down on your knees!

0:42:07 > 0:42:11Let her fucking go! She's fucking pregnant.

0:42:11 > 0:42:13- Leave her alone! - What the fuck is happening, Tom?

0:42:13 > 0:42:16Let's go!

0:42:16 > 0:42:17Put me down!

0:42:17 > 0:42:20Tell Polly it's Russian business, John.

0:42:20 > 0:42:21All right.

0:42:21 > 0:42:23Peaky fucking Blinders, my arse.

0:42:26 > 0:42:28Is he afraid?

0:42:28 > 0:42:29No.

0:42:40 > 0:42:41Sit.

0:42:44 > 0:42:46I'm talking to you, Mr Shelby.

0:42:59 > 0:43:01So, the Oddfellows want you to know that

0:43:01 > 0:43:05any deviation from your instructions will have consequences.

0:43:05 > 0:43:07What's your dog's name?

0:43:09 > 0:43:10You visited your sister.

0:43:10 > 0:43:13Eh? What's your name, boy?

0:43:16 > 0:43:19Your sister is a potential security breach.

0:43:19 > 0:43:22She has connections with Bolsheviks in London

0:43:22 > 0:43:24who have connections with the Soviet Embassy.

0:43:24 > 0:43:26I think I'll just call your dog, "Boy".

0:43:28 > 0:43:30You love your Boy, don't you?

0:43:33 > 0:43:34Understand this.

0:43:36 > 0:43:39You have the local police in your pocket.

0:43:39 > 0:43:41We have Scotland Yard.

0:43:42 > 0:43:46They do what we tell them just as surely as this dog.

0:43:46 > 0:43:47Let him off the leash.

0:43:50 > 0:43:52Are you hearing me, Mr Shelby?

0:43:52 > 0:43:54I can charm dogs.

0:43:56 > 0:43:57Gypsy witchcraft.

0:43:58 > 0:44:01And those I can't charm I can kill with my own hands.

0:44:04 > 0:44:06You learn it when you have a dog on a boat.

0:44:06 > 0:44:10They go fucking mad in tunnels.

0:44:10 > 0:44:11I feel like I'm in a tunnel now.

0:44:14 > 0:44:17You know that feeling when you have to kill or be killed.

0:44:22 > 0:44:27Let the dog off the leash and give the order you give in Gaelic.

0:44:29 > 0:44:31Like I'm told you do when someone displeases you,

0:44:31 > 0:44:33when someone reports you.

0:44:34 > 0:44:38Visit your sister again and she will die crossing the road.

0:44:41 > 0:44:44Maraigh.

0:44:46 > 0:44:47Come on, you say it.

0:44:53 > 0:44:56If you wanted me dead, I'd be dead, wouldn't I?

0:44:59 > 0:45:00It's true.

0:45:02 > 0:45:03It's true, we do need you alive.

0:45:05 > 0:45:08But when you go home today, Mr Shelby,

0:45:08 > 0:45:12be sure to check under your little boy's pillow.

0:45:12 > 0:45:14The tooth fairy has been.

0:45:17 > 0:45:18We can reach anyone...

0:45:19 > 0:45:20..anywhere.

0:45:55 > 0:45:57CHILD CRIES

0:46:01 > 0:46:02Is everything all right?

0:46:02 > 0:46:04Yes.

0:46:04 > 0:46:06Everything's fine. Everything's fine.

0:46:06 > 0:46:08Yeah.

0:46:08 > 0:46:09You promised, Tommy.

0:46:11 > 0:46:12I trust you.

0:46:16 > 0:46:20- I trust you, Tommy. - Yes.

0:46:21 > 0:46:23He's fine. He's fine.

0:46:23 > 0:46:25CHILD CRIES

0:46:34 > 0:46:35Grace... Grace.

0:46:37 > 0:46:39Come on. Yeah.

0:46:52 > 0:46:54You're not one of those impressionists, are you?

0:46:54 > 0:46:57They are all terribly political, aren't they?

0:46:57 > 0:46:59- And you're not?- Goodness, no.

0:46:59 > 0:47:02The people I work for just want me to paint what's there.

0:47:02 > 0:47:06To me, politics is deliberately making things better for some people

0:47:06 > 0:47:08by deliberately making them worse for others.

0:47:16 > 0:47:18Well, I thought I might wear this.

0:47:21 > 0:47:23Oh, God. It's too much. I'll try something more simple.

0:47:23 > 0:47:24No. Don't.

0:47:27 > 0:47:30Suddenly I feel incompetent.

0:47:30 > 0:47:32I want the portrait to hang in the office,

0:47:32 > 0:47:33so I want it to look formal.

0:47:33 > 0:47:36It's not formal. It's beautiful.

0:47:39 > 0:47:41It's made in Paris.

0:47:41 > 0:47:43It was stolen in Birmingham.

0:47:43 > 0:47:47My mother stole it from a house she was cleaning, 1901...

0:47:47 > 0:47:50No, no. It's yours. It belongs on you.

0:47:51 > 0:47:53A woman of substance and class.

0:47:53 > 0:47:55Believe me, I've painted many women

0:47:55 > 0:47:57who don't belong in their expensive dresses.

0:47:59 > 0:48:01There'll be no charge.

0:48:01 > 0:48:05Your normal rate. I insist.

0:48:05 > 0:48:06Mm. There's a first.

0:48:08 > 0:48:10So, when shall we start?

0:48:10 > 0:48:12I've already started.

0:48:12 > 0:48:14Come to my studio this evening.

0:48:14 > 0:48:16I'm busy this evening.

0:48:16 > 0:48:17Polly, invite him.

0:48:17 > 0:48:19Invite me to what?

0:48:19 > 0:48:20Ada, this is a professional transaction.

0:48:20 > 0:48:22Invite me to what?

0:48:22 > 0:48:24Shelby Foundation dinner. Polly is going alone.

0:48:24 > 0:48:25- You're invited.- Ada!

0:48:29 > 0:48:31I'll come to your studio on Sunday.

0:48:32 > 0:48:34And then we shall begin.

0:48:43 > 0:48:46MUSIC: This Is Love by PJ Harvey

0:49:36 > 0:49:40A woman of substance...and class.

0:50:19 > 0:50:20Tommy?

0:50:22 > 0:50:24This is the leader of Birmingham City Council.

0:50:24 > 0:50:27- Hello, Tommy.- All right, Danny? - How's business?

0:50:27 > 0:50:30All right. Holding up, holding up. How are you?

0:50:30 > 0:50:31You know each other?

0:50:31 > 0:50:35I have interests in steelworks in Cradley Heath.

0:50:35 > 0:50:38Tommy helps me get my products to the carmakers.

0:50:38 > 0:50:41Congratulations, Mrs Shelby, on your wedding.

0:50:41 > 0:50:44Thank you. I'm surprised you weren't invited.

0:50:44 > 0:50:45Now, how would that look, eh?

0:50:47 > 0:50:50Ah, now the party has really started.

0:50:50 > 0:50:51Who are they?

0:50:51 > 0:50:55Father John Hughes from St Mary's Boys Reformatory.

0:50:55 > 0:50:59And with him is Patrick Jarvis MP.

0:50:59 > 0:51:04They are part of an organisation called the Economic League.

0:51:04 > 0:51:05Did you invite them, Grace?

0:51:05 > 0:51:07The names sound familiar.

0:51:08 > 0:51:10They were recommended by the Lord Mayor.

0:51:10 > 0:51:13Oh. On your "best people of the city" list, eh?

0:51:13 > 0:51:16- Do you know them? - I'll introduce you, Tommy.

0:51:16 > 0:51:19No, it's all right, Danny. I'll introduce myself.

0:51:33 > 0:51:36We appear to have taken you by surprise.

0:51:36 > 0:51:37I have adjusted.

0:51:39 > 0:51:42Since the socialists got into Downing Street,

0:51:42 > 0:51:43we are all being followed.

0:51:43 > 0:51:45We have to meet in places where we'd meet anyway.

0:51:45 > 0:51:47You should have stopped by Small Heath.

0:51:47 > 0:51:49I could have given you a more traditional welcome.

0:51:49 > 0:51:52- They want to know about ammunition. - And chains for the wheels.

0:51:52 > 0:51:55When the White Guard make their run for Tbilisi,

0:51:55 > 0:51:57it'll be over rough terrain.

0:51:57 > 0:52:00The chains are suitable for snow or wet ground.

0:52:00 > 0:52:02They're already stored on the vehicles.

0:52:02 > 0:52:04There's a batch of weapons set aside at the BSA

0:52:04 > 0:52:06which is bound for the Turkish Army.

0:52:06 > 0:52:09And how will you get it all aboard the London train?

0:52:09 > 0:52:12There will be a strike that night across the city.

0:52:12 > 0:52:15You will have to stop the train twice. How?

0:52:15 > 0:52:18Two drivers will join the strike at different points.

0:52:20 > 0:52:23Rather fun getting the communist unions

0:52:23 > 0:52:25to help get weapons to the Whites.

0:52:25 > 0:52:26Yes, rather fun, eh?

0:52:28 > 0:52:30I'm thinking ahead, thinking of every possibility,

0:52:30 > 0:52:32remembering everything that is happening.

0:52:35 > 0:52:37The Russians want to inspect the vehicles.

0:52:39 > 0:52:40I'll take photographs.

0:52:40 > 0:52:41Mm-mm.

0:52:41 > 0:52:45The Duke has sent his niece. She's here.

0:52:45 > 0:52:48Tomorrow, you will take her to the factory and show her.

0:52:48 > 0:52:49- No.- Mm.

0:52:49 > 0:52:52The union convenors are watching the factories.

0:52:53 > 0:52:54Not possible.

0:52:56 > 0:52:59Anything is possible, Mr Shelby.

0:52:59 > 0:53:00You will take her.

0:53:02 > 0:53:04You will pick her up from this hotel at ten.

0:53:05 > 0:53:07Now, look.

0:53:07 > 0:53:08A priest with an empty glass.

0:53:10 > 0:53:11Let's get back to the party.

0:53:14 > 0:53:16You know, gentlemen, there is hell...

0:53:16 > 0:53:19and there is another place below hell.

0:53:21 > 0:53:25I will remember everything... and forget nothing.

0:53:35 > 0:53:36Tommy...

0:53:36 > 0:53:38This is Duchess Tatiana Petrovna.

0:53:40 > 0:53:42Come on, Tommy, aren't you impressed to meet a real duchess?

0:53:42 > 0:53:44Well, I understand they charge a fee.

0:53:44 > 0:53:47Mr Shelby, you are very direct.

0:53:47 > 0:53:49Too direct.

0:53:49 > 0:53:53But it's true. I attend these things for the champagne.

0:53:53 > 0:53:56And for the chance to be treated like a duchess again.

0:53:56 > 0:53:58You should have kissed my hand, Mr Shelby.

0:54:01 > 0:54:02Forgive me.

0:54:05 > 0:54:06She was asking about my sapphire.

0:54:06 > 0:54:08I thought I'd recognised it.

0:54:08 > 0:54:09She says it was Russian.

0:54:09 > 0:54:12My husband has business in Russia. Perhaps you know about it, Tatiana.

0:54:12 > 0:54:14Well, tonight's not a night for business, eh?

0:54:14 > 0:54:17Is that why you were in the concert hall for ten minutes?

0:54:17 > 0:54:19I think people are ready for dinner now, Grace.

0:54:19 > 0:54:21No, no, I am not done pumping people for money.

0:54:21 > 0:54:23- What is "pump for money"? - It's what I do every day.

0:54:24 > 0:54:27You, er...? You know each other, do you?

0:54:27 > 0:54:29You see, I am in charge of compiling the list of guests,

0:54:29 > 0:54:31but it's my husband who seems to know all of them.

0:54:31 > 0:54:33I hear he's very well connected.

0:54:33 > 0:54:35And where does a duchess hear that?

0:54:35 > 0:54:36In certain circles.

0:54:36 > 0:54:38All right, enough, Ada.

0:54:38 > 0:54:40Grace, there's a lady dowager wants to speak to you

0:54:40 > 0:54:41about coffee mornings.

0:54:41 > 0:54:44She mentioned a £2,000 cash donation.

0:54:44 > 0:54:46Tatiana, you and I will speak later.

0:54:46 > 0:54:47I would like that.

0:54:50 > 0:54:52Going to the factory tomorrow is a mistake.

0:54:53 > 0:54:54Nevertheless, we will go.

0:54:56 > 0:54:59Also, my uncle ordered me to seduce you, to give us an advantage.

0:54:59 > 0:55:02But with a beautiful wife like that, it will be difficult, no?

0:55:02 > 0:55:04Tomorrow is a mistake.

0:55:04 > 0:55:06Have you not heard? We have no morals, we Russians.

0:55:06 > 0:55:08And no fucking sense.

0:55:08 > 0:55:10And no options.

0:55:10 > 0:55:12I would fuck you for the cause.

0:55:12 > 0:55:14What do you think of that?

0:55:14 > 0:55:16I think you should not drink vodka with champagne.

0:55:17 > 0:55:20Does your wife know that the sapphire she's wearing

0:55:20 > 0:55:22has been cursed by a gypsy?

0:55:26 > 0:55:27What did you say?

0:55:27 > 0:55:31Nothing on earth would make me wear it.

0:55:46 > 0:55:48Grace... Grace, come here. Look, I can explain...

0:55:48 > 0:55:49GONG STRIKES

0:55:49 > 0:55:52Ladies and gentlemen, the loyalty toast...

0:55:52 > 0:55:55- For once, you shouldn't have to explain.- ..to His Majesty the King.

0:55:55 > 0:55:57- ALL:- The King.

0:55:57 > 0:55:59Dinner is served.

0:55:59 > 0:56:00You look beautiful. You look beautiful.

0:56:00 > 0:56:02- You need to take this off.- Why?

0:56:02 > 0:56:04Because you think it would look better on her?

0:56:04 > 0:56:06Grace, look at me. Fuck these people. Fuck 'em.

0:56:06 > 0:56:09I need you to be all right.

0:56:09 > 0:56:10I need you, Grace.

0:56:11 > 0:56:12I need you.

0:56:20 > 0:56:21Damn you, Tommy Shelby.

0:56:35 > 0:56:36- Shall we go inside?- Yeah.

0:56:40 > 0:56:41For Angel!

0:56:44 > 0:56:46SCREAMING

0:56:54 > 0:56:58Get a fucking ambulance now!

0:57:56 > 0:58:00# On a gathering storm comes a tall handsome man

0:58:00 > 0:58:05# In a dusty black coat with a red right hand. #
