0:11:03 > 0:11:05and riots when the weather gets warmer.

0:11:05 > 0:11:08- The Bolsheviks are planning... - The Bolsheviks couldn't plan a fucking picnic.

0:14:46 > 0:14:50This is how John wanted to go.

0:14:50 > 0:14:52On the smoke.

0:14:52 > 0:14:54But the truth is,

0:15:06 > 0:15:12Freddie Thorne, Jeremiah, and John.

0:15:13 > 0:15:18We were cut off from the retreat, no bullets left,

0:15:18 > 0:15:20waiting for the Prussian cavalry

0:15:20 > 0:15:22to come, and to finish us off.

0:15:24 > 0:15:27And while we waited...

0:15:28 > 0:15:32..Jeremiah said we should sing In The Bleak Midwinter.

0:15:35 > 0:15:39But we were spared - the enemy never came.

0:15:39 > 0:15:40And we all agreed...

0:15:44 > 0:15:47..that everything after that was extra...

0:15:49 > 0:15:52..and when our time came, we would all remember.

0:15:52 > 0:15:55You remember that God spared you.

0:15:55 > 0:15:58But what did you do with the extra time that He gave you, eh, Thomas?

0:17:56 > 0:17:57GUNSHOT RINGS OUT

0:18:01 > 0:18:03I took the trouble

0:18:03 > 0:18:08of getting an invitation to Aberama Gold.

0:18:08 > 0:18:11Oh, fuck. Now it's begun.

0:18:16 > 0:18:20You put us out in the open on purpose.

0:18:20 > 0:18:24You used John's funeral fire as a fucking beacon.

0:18:24 > 0:18:27- We were never in any danger, Polly. - You set a trap.

0:18:27 > 0:18:29Finn? Finn?!

0:18:29 > 0:18:32Go to the yard and light the fires.

0:18:32 > 0:18:35You set a trap with us as fucking bait.

0:18:39 > 0:18:40Our enemies.

0:18:43 > 0:18:47- Who's dead?- Want to know, Pol?

0:18:50 > 0:18:53tried to make a fucking names for themselves - that's who.

0:18:53 > 0:18:58We got word to them about the funeral - the where, the when.

0:18:58 > 0:19:00Told them where to stand for the best shot.

0:19:01 > 0:19:03And Aberama Gold will do the rest.

0:19:04 > 0:19:06That's the language of vendetta -

0:19:06 > 0:19:09they take one of ours, we take two of theirs.

0:19:10 > 0:19:13You used your own brother's funeral.

0:19:18 > 0:19:21When did we vote on this, Tommy?

0:19:23 > 0:19:28Curly, get a boat ready to take the bodies to the city,

0:19:28 > 0:19:30and another boat for anyone...

0:19:30 > 0:19:33..anyone who wants no more part of this.

0:19:33 > 0:19:36Cos this is how it's going to be.

0:19:36 > 0:19:37Polly!

0:20:16 > 0:20:18They will use the baby.

0:20:18 > 0:20:22Take it. Put the kettle on.

0:20:22 > 0:20:23Wait for your husband.

0:20:29 > 0:20:32The only way any of you Shelbys will leave this place

0:20:32 > 0:20:34is on a cloud of smoke, like John.

0:22:41 > 0:22:43The doctor said they'd sewn you up like a football.

0:22:43 > 0:22:45What else did he say?

0:22:47 > 0:22:49He said you took four bullets.

0:22:49 > 0:22:51Only one was live.

0:22:51 > 0:22:54One was a ricochet...

0:22:55 > 0:22:56..two were already spent.

0:23:47 > 0:23:49- Give me a cigarette, Mum. - It's not allowed.

0:23:49 > 0:23:51It's not allowed?

0:24:03 > 0:24:07- WHISPERS:- I've decided we're going to get away.- Yeah?

0:24:07 > 0:24:09Just me and you.

0:24:09 > 0:24:11Australia.

0:24:11 > 0:24:14And I've been to the Cunard office and I got a magazine.

0:24:14 > 0:24:16HE GROANS

0:24:16 > 0:24:18America's no good, because that's where they are,

0:24:18 > 0:24:20but there's no Italians in Australia.

0:24:20 > 0:24:22I think there are, Mum.

0:24:22 > 0:24:24Bad ones, I mean.

0:24:25 > 0:24:27Have you stopped taking those prison tablets?

0:24:27 > 0:24:29- Don't you worry about me.- I do.

0:24:29 > 0:24:30Just you get better.

0:24:32 > 0:24:34The doctor says it'll be five weeks.

0:24:34 > 0:24:36Then, you'll be up and walking.

0:24:36 > 0:24:39Now, there's a boat that leaves on February the 13th.

0:24:39 > 0:24:42Tell Tommy I need to see him.

0:24:42 > 0:24:44Tell him to bring a gun small enough to fit in the chamber pot,

0:24:44 > 0:24:49- in case they come back. - No, I've banned Tommy from coming.

0:24:49 > 0:24:51Are the factories going back to work tomorrow?

0:24:51 > 0:24:53Just forget the fucking factories.

0:24:53 > 0:24:55Is there any word of them going out on strike?

0:24:55 > 0:24:59We're going to Australia. It'll just be you, me, and your sister.

0:24:59 > 0:25:01Cos I've found out where she's buried -

0:25:01 > 0:25:03it's somewhere outside Melbourne.

0:25:03 > 0:25:05Listen, Mum.

0:25:08 > 0:25:11I'm going to get better slowly...

0:25:11 > 0:25:14..but you need to get better fast.

0:25:14 > 0:25:17Without you, he falls apart, and without him...

0:25:20 > 0:25:24Without him, they'll take us all.

0:25:24 > 0:25:26You've got to get us through this.

0:25:28 > 0:25:30Then, I promise...

0:25:31 > 0:25:34..I'll board that train with you and we'll go to Australia.

0:26:09 > 0:26:11I like your yard, Mr Strong.

0:26:11 > 0:26:13How much would you take for it?

0:26:15 > 0:26:17It's not for sale.

0:26:17 > 0:26:19Not for sale?

0:26:19 > 0:26:20OK.

0:26:28 > 0:26:29CHAINS CLATTER

0:26:32 > 0:26:35I just took a look round.

0:26:35 > 0:26:37I like this place.

0:26:37 > 0:26:39HE LAUGHS

0:26:39 > 0:26:41Fire for melting silver,

0:26:41 > 0:26:43canal to get it away.

0:26:43 > 0:26:44How much?

0:26:48 > 0:26:50Nothing you see is for sale, Mr Gold.

0:26:50 > 0:26:52Oh, everything is for sale.

0:26:52 > 0:26:54Everything.

0:26:58 > 0:27:02You tell Mr Strong I'm going to buy his yard.

0:27:04 > 0:27:06This yard has been in his family since they settled.

0:27:06 > 0:27:09But I have decided to make it part of our deal.

0:27:15 > 0:27:17Charlie?

0:27:19 > 0:27:21Charlie, come here.

0:27:25 > 0:27:28We're going to spin a coin for your yard, Charlie.

0:27:28 > 0:27:30You're going to what?

0:27:30 > 0:27:33If it's heads,

0:27:33 > 0:27:36Abby here takes all of this...with my blessing.

0:27:36 > 0:27:37Tommy.

0:27:38 > 0:27:40And if it's tails...

0:27:43 > 0:27:45..I fuck your daughter, Mr Gold.

0:27:45 > 0:27:47WHEEZING LAUGHTER

0:27:49 > 0:27:51You have three daughters, I hear...

0:27:52 > 0:27:55..and Esmeralda is the eldest, and also the prettiest,

0:27:55 > 0:27:57so I'll have her.

0:27:57 > 0:28:00So make her part of the deal and spin her against the yard.

0:28:00 > 0:28:02Tommy, for fuck sake.

0:28:03 > 0:28:07Here, toss the coin, Mr Gold.

0:28:20 > 0:28:21No.

0:28:23 > 0:28:26Please don't believe this is a joke.

0:28:26 > 0:28:28The coin to us is sacred. Yes, Arthur?

0:28:28 > 0:28:31Sacred.

0:28:33 > 0:28:37If you toss that coin, you take a bet before witnesses.

0:28:37 > 0:28:39And if I win...

0:28:40 > 0:28:44Then, we'll insist that the terms of this agreement,

0:28:44 > 0:28:48the wager, are fulfilled.

0:28:53 > 0:28:55Toss the coin, Mr Gold.

0:29:12 > 0:29:14Tommy Shelby OBE...

0:29:19 > 0:29:20..no wager today.

0:29:22 > 0:29:25But with this penny, I will buy a flower to put on your grave...

0:29:27 > 0:29:29..when the time comes.

0:29:32 > 0:29:35And before that time,

0:29:35 > 0:29:41please don't again disrespect my friends or their valued property.

0:29:41 > 0:29:45We missed Christmas - let's have it now.

0:29:46 > 0:29:49Peace on earth, good will to all men.

0:29:59 > 0:30:01Rum, Curly.

0:30:01 > 0:30:05Toast to my brother, John. Raise your glasses, all of you.

0:30:05 > 0:30:07Raise 'em up, all of you.

0:30:08 > 0:30:10- John Shelby.- ALL:- Cheers.

0:30:10 > 0:30:13I got wire, I got chains, I got steel rods - now what?

0:30:13 > 0:30:16Right, put the steel rods up the geese's arse there,

0:30:16 > 0:30:18and then you put those steel rods above the fire,

0:30:18 > 0:30:22spinning the rod to stop the bird from burning.

0:30:22 > 0:30:24- ALL:- Cheers.- Cheers, lads.

0:30:24 > 0:30:25You did get potatoes, Charlie?

0:30:25 > 0:30:28No, I didn't get fucking potatoes. What's the matter with you?

0:30:28 > 0:30:30I don't want that bastard, Aberama Gold, putting

0:30:30 > 0:30:32it around that we live like didicois.

0:30:32 > 0:30:36I want him to see that we live proper, that we eat proper,

0:30:36 > 0:30:38in the proper way.

0:30:38 > 0:30:39What the fuck are you talking about?

0:30:39 > 0:30:41I'll get the potatoes meself.

0:30:49 > 0:30:52Never thought my high-fucking-heels from Paris would be stepping

0:30:52 > 0:30:55through the horse shit of Small Heath ever again.

0:30:55 > 0:30:57Temporary, Polly.

0:30:57 > 0:30:59Yeah, until hell freezes over.

0:31:39 > 0:31:41How's Michael?

0:31:41 > 0:31:43You said eight men from New York, seven from Sicily,

0:31:43 > 0:31:45at £500 each.

0:31:45 > 0:31:47Of course, you can afford it.

0:31:47 > 0:31:49Most, we'll do ourselves.

0:31:50 > 0:31:53How many of your factories are in the safe territories?

0:31:53 > 0:31:5570%.

0:31:55 > 0:31:58Shelby Company Ltd will continue to manufacture.

0:32:00 > 0:32:04Lizzie says it's only whores these days.

0:32:04 > 0:32:05Yeah.

0:32:07 > 0:32:09Have them smuggled in, I suppose?

0:32:12 > 0:32:14I need you back, Polly.

0:32:14 > 0:32:17Paying whores for sex, paying killers to kill...

0:32:17 > 0:32:19Yeah - nothing for nothing.

0:32:19 > 0:32:21Poor Thomas.

0:32:23 > 0:32:26You know, our mother went this way -

0:32:26 > 0:32:28spirits and ghosts, tablets,

0:32:28 > 0:32:32fucking...fucking seances scaring us kids halfway to fucking death.

0:32:32 > 0:32:35Yeah, well, I'm not going that way.

0:32:37 > 0:32:39Cos in the smoke, I realised something.

0:32:41 > 0:32:44I'm just like you now,

0:32:44 > 0:32:46you and Arthur.

0:32:48 > 0:32:52I was dead in that noose, and then I was saved.

0:32:52 > 0:32:54So everything from now on is extra.

0:32:54 > 0:32:58But what I didn't understand until today...

0:32:58 > 0:33:00..is when you're dead already...

0:33:02 > 0:33:04..you're free.

0:33:08 > 0:33:10Fucking love it.

0:33:12 > 0:33:15I'll help you, cos Michael wants me to help you.

0:33:17 > 0:33:19Starting now.

0:33:20 > 0:33:24Get your whores vetted by Lizzie - they'll use your weakness.

0:33:24 > 0:33:28Don't take any new men on in the factories unless you know their families.

0:33:31 > 0:33:34And your new friend,

0:33:34 > 0:33:36Mr Aberama Gold...

0:33:37 > 0:33:40..he wants something other than just money.

0:33:40 > 0:33:43I see things in the air around people -

0:33:43 > 0:33:45it's not just the tablets.

0:33:47 > 0:33:48It's real.

0:33:48 > 0:33:51Ask him what he really wants.

0:34:31 > 0:34:34She's a fine beast, this one.

0:34:36 > 0:34:39Nothing you see is for sale, Mr Shelby.

0:34:44 > 0:34:48Your grandfather camped with mine for a while.

0:34:48 > 0:34:50Yeah. That didn't last.

0:34:50 > 0:34:53No, it ended badly...

0:34:53 > 0:34:55..in a pub called the Wenlock.

0:34:56 > 0:34:58We were owed money. Still are.

0:35:07 > 0:35:10Other than money and a scrapyard that's clearly not for sale...

0:35:13 > 0:35:15..what is it that you want from me, Mr Gold?

0:35:17 > 0:35:20How do you know I want anything from you?

0:35:20 > 0:35:23Well, because my company treasurer

0:35:23 > 0:35:25is a certified accountant,

0:35:25 > 0:35:27and also, apparently, a witch.

0:35:30 > 0:35:32You're a sporting man...

0:35:34 > 0:35:35Yes, I am.

0:35:35 > 0:35:37..and a gambling man.

0:35:40 > 0:35:43Bonnie, take off your shirt.

0:35:47 > 0:35:49What I want from you, Mr Shelby,

0:35:49 > 0:35:51is for you to take a gamble on him.

0:35:51 > 0:35:54I want you to help my son achieve his ambition.

0:35:58 > 0:36:00BONNIE GRUNTS

0:36:02 > 0:36:04What ambition might that be?

0:36:36 > 0:36:37KNOCK ON DOOR

0:36:45 > 0:36:47KNOCK ON DOOR

0:36:49 > 0:36:51Who is it?

0:36:51 > 0:36:52Inspector Moss.

0:37:00 > 0:37:02I'm looking for Tommy.

0:37:02 > 0:37:04He's at Charlie's.

0:37:04 > 0:37:07But I wouldn't go there - some bad men have arrived.

0:37:07 > 0:37:08Yes, I've heard...

0:37:08 > 0:37:12Be drunk by now...or worse.

0:37:12 > 0:37:15Can you take a message?

0:37:15 > 0:37:18The intelligence service in London have sent seven officers

0:37:18 > 0:37:21up to Birmingham to take over the investigation

0:37:21 > 0:37:24into the Communists and seditionists.

0:37:24 > 0:37:27They've got a list of people of great interest and, erm,

0:37:27 > 0:37:30top of that list is Ada Thorne, formerly Shelby.

0:37:30 > 0:37:34Now, they seem to think that she came back from New York

0:37:34 > 0:37:36to organise the revolution in Birmingham.

0:37:36 > 0:37:38Well, tell them they're wrong.

0:37:38 > 0:37:41Ada Shelby's now firmly back in place in the family business.

0:37:41 > 0:37:45Thing is, when you get a mark against your name,

0:37:45 > 0:37:47it's very hard to shift it.

0:37:48 > 0:37:50They will come looking for her.

0:37:50 > 0:37:51Well, tell them there's a queue.

0:37:51 > 0:37:53Everybody wants a Shelby.

0:37:55 > 0:37:57Mrs Shelby...

0:37:57 > 0:37:59..these are military men,

0:37:59 > 0:38:03no less dangerous than any Italians.

0:38:03 > 0:38:04You tell Tommy.

0:38:04 > 0:38:06I think he'll understand.

0:38:08 > 0:38:10I'll say goodnight to you, then.

0:38:46 > 0:38:47Hello, Curly.

0:38:47 > 0:38:50- Oh, hello...- I'm here to collect Mr Shelby's horse.

0:38:50 > 0:38:52I'm a little early, I think.

0:38:52 > 0:38:55A-Are you going to train the horse to race?

0:38:55 > 0:38:57Yes.

0:38:57 > 0:38:58D-Don't use the crop,

0:38:58 > 0:39:00she's very gentle.

0:39:00 > 0:39:01I won't.

0:39:02 > 0:39:03I-I...

0:39:05 > 0:39:07CURLY STRAINS

0:39:07 > 0:39:08How is Mr Shelby?

0:39:08 > 0:39:11Well, now he's got the Americans after him,

0:39:11 > 0:39:14- he's a bit hard on people. - The Americans?

0:39:14 > 0:39:16Yeah, they call them the Mafia.

0:39:16 > 0:39:17Dear God.

0:39:17 > 0:39:21Yeah, there's 15 of them. Yeah, they want to kill us all.

0:39:21 > 0:39:24But we've got guns and grenades and Aunt Polly's back,

0:39:24 > 0:39:26so it's going to be OK. Yeah.

0:39:26 > 0:39:27I-I'll get the horse.

0:39:47 > 0:39:50Mr Shelby, thank God you're back. We've got real trouble.

0:39:50 > 0:39:52What meetings do I have today?

0:39:52 > 0:39:56Erm, well, there's a supplier from Coventry at ten,

0:39:56 > 0:39:59the convenor of the boilermakers union at 11, and then

0:39:59 > 0:40:02Chamber of Commerce at one. But that isn't the thing.

0:40:02 > 0:40:04Right, clear a space here, move this car back

0:40:04 > 0:40:05and then 100 feet of rope and a bell.

0:40:05 > 0:40:08- Rope?- Yep, and a bell.

0:40:08 > 0:40:11Mr Shelby, this place is about to explode.

0:40:11 > 0:40:13Rope and a bell, Devlin. Ronnie, this way.

0:40:13 > 0:40:16Yes, Mr Shelby.

0:40:16 > 0:40:20Oh, by the way, the revolution's scheduled to begin at noon.

0:40:22 > 0:40:25Here he is - Billy Mills.

0:40:25 > 0:40:28Former heavyweight champion, Staffordshire, Warwickshire

0:40:28 > 0:40:30and Worcestershire. Hello, Billy.

0:40:30 > 0:40:34Yeah, and now I work for you, Mr Shelby,

0:40:34 > 0:40:37for not enough money.

0:40:37 > 0:40:38All right.

0:40:38 > 0:40:42HE SHUFFLES PAPER That enough for you?

0:40:42 > 0:40:45- Enough for what?- There's someone here wants to fight you.

0:40:45 > 0:40:47Bonnie Gold! Come here, son.

0:40:48 > 0:40:50I'm a heavyweight.

0:40:50 > 0:40:52He's a welterweight, at best.

0:40:52 > 0:40:55Nevertheless, he wants to fight you.

0:40:55 > 0:40:59Yeah, and when I damage him, the Blinders will take my eyes.

0:41:00 > 0:41:04No comeback, Billy. It's just a fight, Queensberry rules.

0:41:04 > 0:41:06- When?- Now.

0:41:06 > 0:41:08- Where?- Here.

0:41:08 > 0:41:10- ARTHUR:- Right, you lot, come here.

0:41:10 > 0:41:12Let's make it interesting.

0:41:12 > 0:41:14Come place a wager with me.

0:41:14 > 0:41:15I'll give you good odds.

0:41:15 > 0:41:17I'll give you good odds on the boy,

0:41:17 > 0:41:19even better on the big lad.

0:41:19 > 0:41:22£2, there you go. What you want?

0:41:24 > 0:41:26Bonnie. Come here, son.

0:41:38 > 0:41:39SHOUTS OF ENCOURAGEMENT

0:42:08 > 0:42:09CHEERING AND JEERING

0:42:09 > 0:42:12Your boy knows he can hit back, right?

0:42:12 > 0:42:14I told him, in the professional game,

0:42:14 > 0:42:16people want their money's worth.

0:42:16 > 0:42:17Don't win too fast.

0:42:21 > 0:42:23But if you've seen enough...

0:42:25 > 0:42:26Finish it, Bonnie!

0:42:33 > 0:42:35Fuck me. That was a punch.

0:42:37 > 0:42:39What's he got, horseshoes in those gloves, or what?

0:42:39 > 0:42:42Nope. Just his dad's strength and his mother's temper.

0:42:47 > 0:42:50- Does he have fits?- No.

0:42:50 > 0:42:51- Asthma?- No.

0:42:51 > 0:42:55- How's he cut?- No-one's cut him yet, but his skin's thick.

0:42:55 > 0:42:58- Does he drink?- Porter. Sometimes.

0:42:58 > 0:43:01- How many fights? - 25 bare-knuckle, all knockouts,

0:43:01 > 0:43:04five with gloves in pastures. All knockouts.

0:43:04 > 0:43:06Against Romany fighters?

0:43:06 > 0:43:08That's why they won't let us in the fairs no more - he keeps winning.

0:43:08 > 0:43:11I could fight a fucking tree and knock it out, Mr Shelby.

0:43:11 > 0:43:12ARTHUR LAUGHS

0:43:12 > 0:43:15- I like him. I like... - Mrs Eden's waiting upstairs.

0:43:15 > 0:43:17All right, I'll be there in a minute. Arthur.

0:43:32 > 0:43:34Mr Shelby's on his way.

0:43:34 > 0:43:36Fight in the workshop?

0:43:36 > 0:43:38No. No, just a bit of sport.

0:43:38 > 0:43:40Do you want more tea?

0:43:40 > 0:43:42No. What kind of sport?

0:43:43 > 0:43:46Sport between men, Mrs Eden.

0:43:46 > 0:43:48Actually, I'm Miss Eden.

0:43:50 > 0:43:54Be patient. A good man will come.

0:43:54 > 0:43:55What do you think?

0:43:55 > 0:43:57Don't know, it was over fast.

0:43:57 > 0:43:59Yeah, but you can tell, aye?

0:43:59 > 0:44:02I'll give him to the Irish boys in Digbeth, they can teach him.

0:44:02 > 0:44:03Yeah, and then what?

0:44:03 > 0:44:06We promote him. Big money in London.

0:44:06 > 0:44:07New York, if he's good.

0:44:07 > 0:44:09We control him, run the book.

0:44:13 > 0:44:14when he loses.

0:44:14 > 0:44:16Alfie Solomons runs a fighter.

0:44:16 > 0:44:18He says it's fucking money for nothing.

0:44:18 > 0:44:20Fighting's been good for us,

0:44:20 > 0:44:23better if we know who's going to win.

0:44:23 > 0:44:25We've a lot going on, though, Tom.

0:44:25 > 0:44:28Yeah. That's why it'd be good to have the kid around.

0:44:30 > 0:44:32If we take the fucking kid on,

0:44:32 > 0:44:35one day he may end up fucking taking a bullet for you.

0:44:35 > 0:44:37Can't afford to lose another brother, can I?

0:44:37 > 0:44:39Hmm.

0:44:39 > 0:44:41No horses like him,

0:44:41 > 0:44:43so he's all right. Come on.

0:44:48 > 0:44:50All right. We'll do it.

0:44:50 > 0:44:52We need to do a deal about money.

0:44:52 > 0:44:56- Yeah. Speak to my accountant. - The witch?- The witch.

0:44:56 > 0:44:59So when will be my first real fight be, do you think, Mr Shelby?

0:44:59 > 0:45:01Well, as soon as we can find men

0:45:01 > 0:45:03stupid enough to get in the ring with you.

0:45:03 > 0:45:05God help him.

0:45:06 > 0:45:08There you go, Bonnie.

0:45:10 > 0:45:12You're a Peaky Blinder now, son.

0:45:21 > 0:45:23There you go.

0:45:23 > 0:45:25The lion's share.

0:45:25 > 0:45:26Thank you.

0:45:39 > 0:45:43Mr Shelby, I understand you've had a bereavement.

0:45:45 > 0:45:46I'm here to talk business.

0:45:48 > 0:45:51- Then I'll be blunt.- And as will I.

0:45:51 > 0:45:55- What you're doing here is robbery. - Every man is free to leave.

0:45:55 > 0:45:58- You cut five shillings from the weekly wage.- Mm-hm.

0:46:00 > 0:46:03And you said, if I did that, you'd bring every

0:46:03 > 0:46:07man and women in all my factories out on strike.

0:46:07 > 0:46:09Yes.

0:46:11 > 0:46:12Do you have a whistle?

0:46:15 > 0:46:17If so, blow it.

0:46:22 > 0:46:26I thought at least we might have a discussion,

0:46:26 > 0:46:28as I do with other owners.

0:46:28 > 0:46:30I'm not other owners.

0:46:30 > 0:46:32No.

0:46:32 > 0:46:35You believe because coal is expensive and it's been a cold

0:46:35 > 0:46:39winter, and because wages have been cut over these past 12 months,

0:46:39 > 0:46:44you think cos of all that nobody will walk out on strike,

0:46:44 > 0:46:46cos no-one can afford to.

0:46:47 > 0:46:52And, until recently, that would have been true.

0:46:52 > 0:46:55But something has changed this past year.

0:46:55 > 0:46:58A cold wind from the East.

0:46:58 > 0:46:59People are not afraid any more.

0:47:05 > 0:47:09the Bolsheviks couldn't organise a fucking picnic.

0:47:11 > 0:47:14You know, Mr Shelby,

0:47:14 > 0:47:18it's almost as if you want trouble.

0:47:24 > 0:47:26If the rule of law in Birmingham

0:47:26 > 0:47:29were to break down during this...period of turmoil

0:47:29 > 0:47:33for my family, then, yes,

0:47:33 > 0:47:36that would indeed have its benefits...

0:47:36 > 0:47:38..for reasons you could not understand.

0:47:39 > 0:47:40I've heard rumours.

0:47:42 > 0:47:43Sport between men.

0:47:43 > 0:47:46Just blow your fucking whistle, eh?

0:47:57 > 0:47:59DOOR OPENS AND SHUTS

0:48:11 > 0:48:13WHISTLE BLOWS

0:48:13 > 0:48:15Right, come on, you lot, put your tools down. We're outside.

0:48:17 > 0:48:18Go on.

0:48:24 > 0:48:26Just leave it.

0:48:26 > 0:48:28Just leave it, let's get out.

0:48:28 > 0:48:29Everyone out.

0:48:32 > 0:48:33I said, everyone out.

0:48:35 > 0:48:37Stop working, immediately.

0:48:52 > 0:48:53TOMMY: Yeah, come in.

0:49:02 > 0:49:05I did say this would happen.

0:49:05 > 0:49:07Who's next?

0:49:07 > 0:49:13Erm...he's a delegate from the European Council for Trade.

0:49:14 > 0:49:18- He's here to talk about the import of car parts to France.- Right.

0:49:18 > 0:49:21He's come all the way from Paris.

0:49:21 > 0:49:24But, given the circumstances, I can send him away.

0:49:27 > 0:49:29Given what circumstances? Send him in.

0:49:49 > 0:49:54Mr Shelby, this is Monsieur Paz, from Paris.

0:50:01 > 0:50:03I heard you had trouble.

0:50:05 > 0:50:07It's good of you to see me.

0:50:09 > 0:50:11You just came from Paris, eh?

0:50:16 > 0:50:19You know Paris?

0:50:19 > 0:50:21I left Paris in a cattle truck.

0:50:26 > 0:50:29They said you were French.

0:50:29 > 0:50:33No, I came here from Paris...

0:50:33 > 0:50:35..that does not mean I'm French.

0:50:41 > 0:50:43Guess where I'm from.

0:50:49 > 0:50:52Well, in my cattle truck in Paris...

0:50:54 > 0:50:56..there were American soldiers.

0:50:57 > 0:50:59We played cards.

0:51:05 > 0:51:07They sound like you.

0:51:07 > 0:51:09Ah.

0:51:09 > 0:51:11Did you win?

0:51:12 > 0:51:14You didn't come on a train.

0:51:14 > 0:51:16Your suit is pressed, your shoes are clean.

0:51:16 > 0:51:18Where do you get your suits made?

0:51:20 > 0:51:22I have a tailor...

0:51:22 > 0:51:25..in New York City.

0:51:25 > 0:51:27Look...

0:51:30 > 0:51:34Fenacci. Italian.

0:51:35 > 0:51:36He's my uncle.

0:51:36 > 0:51:39He makes suits in a basement in Mott Street.

0:51:40 > 0:51:46He is my uncle, so every stitch is stitched with blood.

0:51:49 > 0:51:51I heard you dress well, Mr Shelby.

0:51:54 > 0:51:57But now I see...

0:51:57 > 0:51:59..not so well as me.

0:52:06 > 0:52:08You know, I have uncles as well...

0:52:12 > 0:52:15..but they're not the sort of men who would, uh...

0:52:15 > 0:52:19..who would work in a basement with a needle and thread...

0:52:19 > 0:52:22..Mr Changretta.

0:52:29 > 0:52:34I am surprised how easy it was to get into a room with you.

0:52:36 > 0:52:37And now?

0:52:40 > 0:52:42And now...

0:52:46 > 0:52:49And now you should know that during the trouble you

0:52:49 > 0:52:53had earlier on your factory floor,

0:52:53 > 0:52:57I sent an accomplice into your office in overalls.

0:53:01 > 0:53:02He found your gun...

0:53:05 > 0:53:06..and unloaded it.

0:53:14 > 0:53:15Arthur Shelby...

0:53:18 > 0:53:19..Polly Gray....

0:53:23 > 0:53:24..Michael Gray...

0:53:27 > 0:53:29..John Shelby...

0:53:37 > 0:53:38..spent.

0:53:40 > 0:53:41Ada Thorne...

0:53:57 > 0:53:59- WHISPERS:- None of you will survive.

0:54:03 > 0:54:06Your level of security is pitiful...

0:54:08 > 0:54:11..and we are an organisation

0:54:11 > 0:54:14of a different dimension.

0:54:15 > 0:54:19I could have killed you when I walked through the door.

0:54:20 > 0:54:22But, you see...

0:54:24 > 0:54:26..I want you to be the last.

0:54:29 > 0:54:33I want you to be alive after your entire family is dead...

0:54:35 > 0:54:37..cos my mother says

0:54:37 > 0:54:40that is what'll hurt you the most.

0:54:43 > 0:54:48You people have traditions of honour. As do we.

0:54:53 > 0:54:55Instead of sending you a black hand,

0:54:55 > 0:54:59I could have had you killed in the night without knowing why.

0:55:06 > 0:55:08- WHISPERS:- But I want you to know why.

0:55:11 > 0:55:14And I want to suggest to you

0:55:14 > 0:55:19that we fight this vendetta with honour.
