0:07:21 > 0:07:24So no more talk of New Year's resolutions

0:07:24 > 0:07:26or Tommy might change his mind.

0:07:26 > 0:07:28- What New Year's resolution? - Never mind.

0:07:30 > 0:07:33I think Ada's trying to tell me to behave myself.

0:07:33 > 0:07:35Yeah. Behave yourself.

0:07:36 > 0:07:37Behave myself or what?

0:07:39 > 0:07:41Behave myself or fucking what?

0:07:43 > 0:07:46OK, Polly, I'll tell you the truth.

0:07:46 > 0:07:48After your recent troubles, Tommy asked me to keep an eye on you.

0:07:48 > 0:07:50"Troubles?"

0:07:51 > 0:07:53Whilst working for this company,

0:07:53 > 0:07:54I have killed a man,

0:07:54 > 0:07:57I have lost a man, I have found a son,

0:08:10 > 0:08:12..but I will not behave myself.

0:08:37 > 0:08:38Where's Arthur?

0:08:40 > 0:08:42Do I look like his fucking mother?

0:08:57 > 0:09:01Oh, no. Why are you here?

0:09:01 > 0:09:03You all right? Is Billy all right?

0:09:03 > 0:09:05Yes. Everything's fine.

0:09:05 > 0:09:08Well, look... Lovely to see you, but I'm late for a meeting.

0:09:17 > 0:09:19I've got something for you.

0:09:19 > 0:09:23Something for a loving husband who's been working very hard...

0:09:23 > 0:09:26..and is under a great deal of pressure.

0:09:58 > 0:10:00Feel it properly.

0:10:07 > 0:10:11You, er... You want to do this here?

0:10:11 > 0:10:15Why not? I thought you were the boss.

0:10:16 > 0:10:20- I am the fucking boss. - Then tell me what to do, boss.

0:10:22 > 0:10:23Come here.

0:10:28 > 0:10:31of the board of the Shelby Company Limited,

0:10:31 > 0:10:35I'd like to note the absence of the Deputy Vice President,

0:11:58 > 0:11:59SHE EXCLAIMS

0:12:14 > 0:12:15KNOCK ON DOOR

0:12:15 > 0:12:18- Mr Shelby!- Fuck off.

0:12:18 > 0:12:20- They've broken into the paint shop. - Oh, yeah?

0:12:20 > 0:12:22They're chucking paint around -

0:12:22 > 0:12:24I think they mean to set light to it.

0:12:24 > 0:12:28Well, you deal with it, man, I'm fucking busy!

0:12:53 > 0:12:55What was all that about?

0:13:10 > 0:13:13In this sinful place,

0:13:13 > 0:13:15there will be temptations.

0:13:15 > 0:13:17It's my responsibility as your wife

0:13:17 > 0:13:20to help you resist those temptations.

0:13:21 > 0:13:24By putting myself between you...

0:13:29 > 0:13:31..and the devil.

0:13:33 > 0:13:36In the words of my sinful Catholic mother,

0:13:36 > 0:13:39"Keep his balls empty and his belly full."

0:13:41 > 0:13:42God rest her soul.

0:13:44 > 0:13:46KNOCK ON DOOR Mr Shelby!

0:13:46 > 0:13:49You have to come to the paint shop immediately! Please!

0:13:53 > 0:13:55Oh, I have to go.

0:13:55 > 0:13:57Won't be late.

0:14:03 > 0:14:05Sorry, ladies, there's no smoking in here.

0:14:05 > 0:14:07Yes, love, we know.

0:14:09 > 0:14:12All right. He's an hour late. Fuck him.

0:14:13 > 0:14:17This business directly affects Arthur, but he's not here,

0:14:17 > 0:14:19so we'll take a vote without him.

0:14:19 > 0:14:21What business?

0:14:21 > 0:14:24Official business that wasn't on your agenda, Ada.

0:14:24 > 0:14:29An informant told us that six years ago Luca Changretta

0:14:29 > 0:14:32came from New York to Birmingham to be best man at his cousin's wedding.

0:14:32 > 0:14:35We found out that they used Reid and Dunn in Broadgate

0:14:35 > 0:14:36for the photographs.

0:14:36 > 0:14:41The photographer kept the negatives. I persuaded him to give us copies...

0:14:41 > 0:14:42..and to enlarge this one.

0:14:44 > 0:14:48That is Luca Changretta.

0:14:48 > 0:14:50I've seen his face, so I could pick him out.

0:14:50 > 0:14:53Half the men in the photograph are Changrettas,

0:14:53 > 0:14:57which means the chances are they're the men will come kill us.

0:14:57 > 0:14:58We need to get both these photographs

0:14:58 > 0:15:00into pubs and on street corners,

0:15:00 > 0:15:04and put it about that there's a reward for information.

0:15:06 > 0:15:10We also propose that we give a copy of this photograph

0:15:10 > 0:15:12to Mr Aberama Gold.

0:15:12 > 0:15:15We need to forget the idea that it has to be Arthur

0:15:15 > 0:15:19that pulls the trigger. Tradition will just fuck us up.

0:15:19 > 0:15:21We should wait for Arthur.

0:15:21 > 0:15:23Arthur's not here, Ada.

0:15:23 > 0:15:27We need Luca Changretta dead. That's it.

0:15:27 > 0:15:30Dropping the law of the bullet is part of the process of modernisation

0:15:30 > 0:15:32that I was working on before I were...

0:15:33 > 0:15:35..before I was executed.

0:15:35 > 0:15:36You weren't executed, Pol.

0:15:38 > 0:15:39What did you call me?

0:15:39 > 0:15:42Right. Let's take a vote. I'll deal with Arthur.

0:15:42 > 0:15:45All those in favour of giving the photographs

0:15:45 > 0:15:46to Mr Gold raise your hand.

0:15:59 > 0:16:01Then it will be done.

0:16:01 > 0:16:03- Mum...- Oh, "mum" now, is it?

0:16:04 > 0:16:06I smelt perfume when I came in here.

0:16:06 > 0:16:07Yeah, it was the flowers.

0:16:09 > 0:16:10Right, that's it.

0:16:10 > 0:16:12Who came in here, Michael?

0:16:12 > 0:16:16The truth is, Polly, the woman that raised him came in here.

0:16:16 > 0:16:18She has every right to come in here.

0:16:18 > 0:16:20She brought him fucking apples and she left.

0:16:20 > 0:16:22We're in the middle of a vendetta and Arthur's missing.

0:16:22 > 0:16:24We need to find him.

0:16:24 > 0:16:27Concentrate on what unites us.

0:16:27 > 0:16:28This is all temporary.

0:16:28 > 0:16:30Yeah, temporary, right.

0:16:33 > 0:16:34DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES

0:16:40 > 0:16:43# There's a devil inside of me

0:16:44 > 0:16:46# He's holding on... #

0:16:46 > 0:16:47Bastards!

0:16:47 > 0:16:52# And I don't know if he's staying or for how long

0:16:56 > 0:16:58# There's a devil inside of me

0:16:59 > 0:17:01# And he's holding on

0:17:01 > 0:17:07# And I don't know if he's staying or for how long... #

0:17:08 > 0:17:11Party is it, eh? Is that what it is?

0:17:11 > 0:17:15What's this, a party, eh? Fuck off out of it!

0:17:15 > 0:17:16Get out!

0:17:22 > 0:17:26OK, I wasn't going to hit ya... but that wasn't fucking nice.

0:17:31 > 0:17:33Oh, you...

0:17:37 > 0:17:40Arthur! Mr Shelby! Please, Mr Shelby! Please.

0:17:40 > 0:17:46Don't fucking move. Eh? Eh? Now get the fuck out!

0:17:48 > 0:17:51Fuck you and fuck your revolution!

0:19:33 > 0:19:35Is that what you are?

0:19:37 > 0:19:39Arthur Shelby, hey!

0:19:39 > 0:19:40Let's see who wanted you.

0:19:42 > 0:19:43What about...

0:19:44 > 0:19:47What about fucking John Shelby?

0:20:14 > 0:20:15John.

0:21:00 > 0:21:01Thank you.

0:21:01 > 0:21:04Send my guests in.

0:21:49 > 0:21:52You wire Polo and let him tell the family.

0:21:54 > 0:21:56He has four kids.

0:22:05 > 0:22:08Don't you two have any other clothes to wear?

0:22:08 > 0:22:09Uh?

0:22:17 > 0:22:19Look at me.

0:22:19 > 0:22:21Huh?

0:22:55 > 0:22:57..you complain about your fucking belly.

0:23:06 > 0:23:09- With respect...- "With respect?"

0:23:09 > 0:23:11You raised.

0:23:25 > 0:23:27You eat like them.

0:23:27 > 0:23:30You don't fucking talk to me about "with respect".

0:23:50 > 0:23:51Sit down.

0:24:01 > 0:24:02What do you have?

0:24:13 > 0:24:16Arthur Shelby killed her son in a boxing ring four years ago.

0:24:32 > 0:24:33She would do that for us?

0:24:44 > 0:24:46OK.

0:26:02 > 0:26:05Even if you don't trust me no more.

0:26:05 > 0:26:07What the fuck are you talking about? Arthur?

0:26:08 > 0:26:10I got cleaned up at Ada's.

0:26:11 > 0:26:15She told me, you took a vote in my absence.

0:26:15 > 0:26:18All right, calm down and tell me about the men you killed.

0:26:18 > 0:26:21You put my job out for contract.

0:26:21 > 0:26:22Arthur...

0:26:22 > 0:26:26Yeah, well, I'm going to make it my fucking job anyway.

0:26:26 > 0:26:28Because this was all my fault.

0:26:28 > 0:26:31- It was me that shot the old man... - Yeah, out of mercy.

0:26:33 > 0:26:35Aye, now John's dead,

0:26:35 > 0:26:39he's dead because of me, and I want to make it right.

0:26:39 > 0:26:40Arthur, wait.

0:26:42 > 0:26:44How did the men get in the factory? I need to know.

0:26:49 > 0:26:51Through the back fucking door

0:26:51 > 0:26:55that was supposed to be locked and bolted.

0:26:55 > 0:26:59Some bastard gave me up. Somebody with keys.

0:27:01 > 0:27:05Yeah. Why don't you sit there and work it out for yourself?

0:27:07 > 0:27:09And take a fucking vote.

0:27:25 > 0:27:28Who is this little bear? Yes?

0:27:28 > 0:27:30Eh?

0:27:33 > 0:27:35Are you all right?

0:27:39 > 0:27:41Daddy's home, Billy.

0:27:41 > 0:27:46- Yeah, I'm all right. - Look, Daddy's home.

0:27:47 > 0:27:49How's Polly?

0:27:51 > 0:27:53Is she all right?

0:27:56 > 0:28:02Oh, go on, Linda. I mean, it was her idea, wasn't it?

0:28:02 > 0:28:05Hum? The Japanese silk?

0:28:06 > 0:28:08I'll put him to bed.

0:28:14 > 0:28:15SHE OPENS DOOR

0:28:19 > 0:28:21You kept me away from that fucking meeting

0:28:21 > 0:28:24- to stop me from voting.- Here we go.

0:28:24 > 0:28:27It was Polly's idea, wasn't it?

0:28:27 > 0:28:28Eh?

0:28:29 > 0:28:33You know what I am, don't ya? I am a working man.

0:28:35 > 0:28:36Yeah.

0:28:37 > 0:28:39Fucking working man.

0:28:41 > 0:28:44Fucking...who's lost his job.

0:28:48 > 0:28:50Is that what I am, Linda?

0:28:50 > 0:28:52Is that what I am, eh?

0:28:54 > 0:28:58I don't want you dead. Polly doesn't want you dead.

0:28:58 > 0:29:01Let Mr Gold do the killing. For money.

0:29:01 > 0:29:04It's the modern way, Arthur.

0:29:07 > 0:29:08Watch.

0:29:20 > 0:29:21What are you doing?

0:29:24 > 0:29:27Now fire it into the fireplace.

0:29:27 > 0:29:28Please.

0:29:32 > 0:29:35- All right.- Fire it.

0:29:36 > 0:29:38Get rid of it.

0:29:43 > 0:29:45Then we'll go to bed.

0:29:46 > 0:29:48Do anything you like.

0:29:49 > 0:29:51Just fire the gun, Arthur.

0:29:52 > 0:29:54Fire it.

0:29:56 > 0:29:57You go tell Polly...

0:30:00 > 0:30:03..there are rules between a man and women.

0:30:05 > 0:30:07Fucking rules.

0:30:13 > 0:30:15That I have to do this.

0:30:18 > 0:30:19I have to do it.

0:30:22 > 0:30:25John wants me to do it, Linda.

0:30:28 > 0:30:30My brother.

0:30:32 > 0:30:35And I'm going to do it.

0:31:22 > 0:31:24Was it fear, or was it hatred?

0:31:26 > 0:31:29- Was what fear or hatred?- Isaiah...

0:31:37 > 0:31:39You had a one way ticket to Glasgow in your pocket.

0:31:43 > 0:31:46Your wife and kids left three days ago.

0:31:47 > 0:31:50Now...I'm going to ask you again.

0:31:54 > 0:31:58Was it fear of the Italians, or hatred of us

0:31:58 > 0:32:02that made you unlock the door and give up my brother?

0:32:02 > 0:32:04I didn't unlock any door.

0:32:08 > 0:32:10Here, have a drink.

0:32:11 > 0:32:13You're going to need it.

0:32:17 > 0:32:2035 Drumcree Street, Parkhead, Glasgow...

0:32:20 > 0:32:23Please, please, please, please...

0:32:23 > 0:32:27We have allegiances with Catholic gangs in that city.

0:32:27 > 0:32:30Your family are safe only at my discretion.

0:32:31 > 0:32:35Now...explain to me...

0:32:35 > 0:32:38..why you were catching a midnight train to Glasgow.

0:32:40 > 0:32:41You mean you don't know?

0:32:43 > 0:32:46I run a factory full of blackleg, non-union labour.

0:32:46 > 0:32:50I live in a street full of men laid off or on strike.

0:32:51 > 0:32:53Look at this photograph, Mr Devlin,

0:32:53 > 0:32:55- and tell me who are the men who contacted you...- No.

0:32:55 > 0:32:57No, you listen to me.

0:32:57 > 0:32:59I get spat at,

0:32:59 > 0:33:02windows smashed, petrol on the curtains...

0:33:02 > 0:33:06..but, for fear of you, I clock in every fucking morning -

0:33:06 > 0:33:09and, today, two men are shot and burnt on my shift...

0:33:09 > 0:33:12..and you ask me why I'm getting the midnight train to Glasgow?

0:33:22 > 0:33:24Who else has the keys to that door?

0:33:24 > 0:33:27They hang on a hook inside my office.

0:33:28 > 0:33:30Today, I left the office unlocked.

0:33:30 > 0:33:34- Why?- Because I forgot. Because I left in a hurry.

0:33:34 > 0:33:37Because there were men trying to set fire to the factory!

0:33:39 > 0:33:42Mr Shelby, may I tell you something?

0:33:44 > 0:33:46You have a lot of enemies.

0:33:47 > 0:33:49Communists.

0:33:49 > 0:33:50Italians.

0:33:54 > 0:33:57Before the factory came out on strike,

0:33:57 > 0:34:01I heard word that two Italians attended a Communist Party meeting

0:34:01 > 0:34:04in Stechford. They hardly spoke English.

0:34:06 > 0:34:09Now, if they got a party man into the factory

0:34:09 > 0:34:12it might have been him that unlocked the door for them.

0:34:16 > 0:34:20Mr Shelby...my train leaves at 12.

0:34:20 > 0:34:23It's just gone 11. I could still make it.

0:34:26 > 0:34:29Please. For my kids.

0:34:36 > 0:34:37I need you here.

0:34:37 > 0:34:41Isaiah, get three of our men with police badges

0:34:41 > 0:34:44- to watch Mr Devlin's house. - Mr Shelby, please...

0:34:47 > 0:34:50Our friends in Glasgow will take care of your family.

0:34:52 > 0:34:54For the curtains.

0:34:55 > 0:34:59Before you, I was an ordinary working man.

0:34:59 > 0:35:02Yeah, and now you're one of us.

0:35:22 > 0:35:25MUSIC: Bye Bye Blackbird by Gene Austin

0:35:34 > 0:35:36SHE SINGS ALONG: # Blackbird, blackbird

0:35:36 > 0:35:39# Singing the blues all day

0:35:39 > 0:35:43# Right outside of my door... #

0:35:43 > 0:35:45MUSIC CONTINUES

0:35:58 > 0:36:00HE KNOCKS

0:36:02 > 0:36:03MUSIC STOPS

0:36:05 > 0:36:07Who is it?

0:36:07 > 0:36:08It's Tommy Shelby.

0:36:13 > 0:36:15Is this union business?

0:36:15 > 0:36:16Yes.

0:36:16 > 0:36:18So, conduct it in the proper place at the proper time.

0:36:18 > 0:36:20I've come to make an improved offer.

0:36:33 > 0:36:34I heard music.

0:36:36 > 0:36:38What's your improved offer?

0:36:38 > 0:36:40Do I not get a drink?

0:36:40 > 0:36:41No.

0:36:48 > 0:36:53- Have you ever seen any of the men in this photograph before?- What?

0:36:57 > 0:37:01You're a member of the Stechford Communist party.

0:37:01 > 0:37:04I'm told two Italian men attended a meeting recently.

0:37:04 > 0:37:07Can you see either of them in this picture?

0:37:11 > 0:37:13As the Small Heath coordinator

0:37:13 > 0:37:17of the Organisation for the Maintenance of Supplies,

0:37:17 > 0:37:19I have also been sworn in as a Special...

0:37:19 > 0:37:20SHE SIGHS

0:37:21 > 0:37:25We have reason to believe that outside agitators from overseas

0:37:25 > 0:37:28are attempting to foment trouble in our factories

0:37:28 > 0:37:30in advance of a General Strike,

0:37:30 > 0:37:32which could take place at any moment.

0:37:32 > 0:37:34This is a matter of national security.

0:37:36 > 0:37:37May I look at your badge?

0:37:39 > 0:37:40Yes.

0:37:51 > 0:37:53What would you like to drink, Constable?

0:37:53 > 0:37:55Whisky. And, actually, it's Sergeant.

0:37:55 > 0:37:58I only have beer. Times are hard.

0:37:58 > 0:38:01How long has it been since you've had a bottle of M&B bitter?

0:38:02 > 0:38:04Help yourself.

0:38:07 > 0:38:08Have a seat.

0:38:16 > 0:38:20You know, when this business began, I did some research on you.

0:38:20 > 0:38:23It turns out I know someone who used to know you very well.

0:38:25 > 0:38:26Kitty Jurossi.

0:38:30 > 0:38:33You were in love with Kitty's sister, Greta Jurossi,

0:38:33 > 0:38:35before the war. Do you remember Greta Jurossi?

0:38:37 > 0:38:39Her parents were Italian.

0:38:39 > 0:38:42They didn't approve of a Watery Lane Gypsy...

0:38:42 > 0:38:45..but you won them over. With your charm.

0:38:45 > 0:38:47Sweetness.

0:38:49 > 0:38:53Very... Very thorough research.

0:38:53 > 0:38:57Greta died at the age of 19. Of consumption...

0:38:59 > 0:39:03..and Kitty said you were at her bedside for three months.

0:39:03 > 0:39:05Every day. Holding her hand...

0:39:06 > 0:39:08..and after she died, you went away to war.

0:39:10 > 0:39:13Kitty said that the sweet boy who left never came back.

0:39:13 > 0:39:15No-one came back.

0:39:16 > 0:39:18Here's the funniest thing.

0:39:20 > 0:39:23She said, in those days, you believed in things.

0:39:23 > 0:39:25In justice. Fairness.

0:39:25 > 0:39:28Once you saw a man beating his horse, and you fought him.

0:39:28 > 0:39:30He was twice your size, but you beat him...

0:39:30 > 0:39:32..and then you beat him with his own whip.

0:39:34 > 0:39:36Kitty always liked to tell tall tales.

0:39:37 > 0:39:39She's a party member now.

0:39:40 > 0:39:42She swears before you enlisted in the army

0:39:42 > 0:39:44you joined the Communist Party yourself.

0:39:48 > 0:39:50Is that true?

0:39:56 > 0:39:58MUSIC STARTS

0:40:00 > 0:40:03When I was at the door,

0:40:03 > 0:40:05I saw you through the curtains.

0:40:06 > 0:40:08You were dancing alone.

0:40:11 > 0:40:14I've also done my research.

0:40:19 > 0:40:22Your sweetheart was at Passchendaele.

0:40:24 > 0:40:27When he came back, he was listed among the shellshocked.

0:40:28 > 0:40:30Blew his own fucking brains out.

0:40:39 > 0:40:41I don't know any men in the photo.

0:40:46 > 0:40:47You haven't looked.

0:40:49 > 0:40:51This afternoon, two men came into my factory

0:40:51 > 0:40:53and tried to kill my brother.

0:40:53 > 0:40:56I believe a Stechford Communist Party member let him in.

0:40:56 > 0:41:00I was wondering if you might be able to help me in my investigations.

0:41:06 > 0:41:10Kitty said next time I see you, before we start fighting,

0:41:10 > 0:41:13I should send you her love from the good old days...

0:41:13 > 0:41:15..and give you this.

0:41:17 > 0:41:21Greta Jurossi and Tommy Shelby in Blackpool.

0:41:31 > 0:41:34Do you recognise the boy in the photograph?

0:41:57 > 0:41:58I'll leave that here.

0:42:03 > 0:42:05Apologies for interrupting your dance.

0:42:45 > 0:42:49# I wish

0:42:51 > 0:42:56# I wish

0:42:57 > 0:43:02# But it's all in vain

0:43:02 > 0:43:06# I wish I was

0:43:06 > 0:43:10# A maid again

0:43:10 > 0:43:14# But a maid again

0:43:14 > 0:43:20# I never can be

0:43:21 > 0:43:27# Till apples grow... #

0:43:27 > 0:43:32Arthur, I need you to listen to me.

0:43:33 > 0:43:36I need you to listen to me, Arthur.

0:43:39 > 0:43:41The world is changing.

0:43:44 > 0:43:46Listen to me, Arthur.

0:43:48 > 0:43:52Listen to the sweet voice of Jesus.

0:44:52 > 0:44:54- Finn?- It came from Arthur's house.

0:44:56 > 0:44:57- HE BANGS ON DOOR - Arthur.

0:45:00 > 0:45:01Arthur.

0:45:01 > 0:45:03Where is he?

0:45:05 > 0:45:06Arthur?

0:45:07 > 0:45:09He fired the bullet.

0:45:12 > 0:45:13Linda...

0:45:15 > 0:45:18..says it's the modern way, so...

0:45:21 > 0:45:23It's the modern way.

0:45:23 > 0:45:27Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's all right.

0:45:29 > 0:45:31It's all right, brother.

0:45:37 > 0:45:38You did well.

0:45:38 > 0:45:40God spoke to him, not me.

0:46:05 > 0:46:07What are you doing here?

0:46:07 > 0:46:09On Mondays, I do the inventory.

0:46:09 > 0:46:11Make sure nobody's dipping their hand.

0:46:11 > 0:46:15Well, it's now my job now.

0:46:16 > 0:46:18I'm back -

0:46:18 > 0:46:20and there's going to be nobody dipping their hand with me here,

0:46:20 > 0:46:22not unless they want it cut off.

0:46:22 > 0:46:25DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES

0:46:34 > 0:46:36I said to Arthur, while I'm in this fucking place,

0:46:36 > 0:46:38I want something to keep my mind busy.

0:46:38 > 0:46:40What? You're going to take bets?

0:46:40 > 0:46:42I've always been able to do addition and subtraction

0:46:42 > 0:46:44without pen and paper -

0:46:44 > 0:46:45but I'll need a telephone.

0:46:45 > 0:46:49Apparently, we have special clients who take bets by telephone.

0:46:49 > 0:46:50Linda?

0:46:52 > 0:46:54This is a betting shop.

0:46:54 > 0:46:56Look...

0:46:56 > 0:46:58..Arthur said yes. Tommy said yes.

0:46:58 > 0:47:01But did God say yes? Gambling is a sin, Linda.

0:47:01 > 0:47:03It's not me that's doing the gambling.

0:47:03 > 0:47:06I'm just taking the bets.

0:47:15 > 0:47:18The rule is that door should always remain locked until 9am.

0:47:21 > 0:47:24Right. Boy. Boy, where are you going?

0:47:24 > 0:47:27Well, Arthur's not coming in today. He's taking the day off.

0:47:27 > 0:47:30- So...- So what?

0:47:30 > 0:47:33So, today, Tommy said that I'm in charge.

0:47:33 > 0:47:34Sorry, you're in charge?

0:47:36 > 0:47:38Yeah. That's what he said.

0:47:42 > 0:47:44All right, sweetheart.

0:47:47 > 0:47:54Ladies, let's give our boss a first day that he'll never forget.

0:48:04 > 0:48:06Sending Finn to the shop was a mistake.

0:48:06 > 0:48:10They've already found out he's a virgin and they're arranging

0:48:10 > 0:48:11a girl for him this afternoon.

0:48:11 > 0:48:13I thought Linda was there.

0:48:13 > 0:48:15She is. She loved the idea.

0:48:17 > 0:48:19Yeah, I know. She even swears now.

0:48:19 > 0:48:22"Fuck" sounds funny coming from her.

0:48:22 > 0:48:24Polly says in the end we all turn into our mother.

0:48:24 > 0:48:27Ah, well, keep an eye on her.

0:48:29 > 0:48:31The whore watching the Madonna.

0:48:31 > 0:48:35- Does Finn know what they've planned?- No.

0:48:35 > 0:48:37Do they have someone?

0:48:37 > 0:48:40Yes. A girl I used to work with.

0:48:42 > 0:48:46- Is she nice?- No. She's from Aston.

0:48:46 > 0:48:48They're paying her out of petty cash.

0:48:48 > 0:48:54Right, well, call 'em and tell them to pay extra and get someone nice.

0:48:55 > 0:49:00- Nice women don't do that sort of thing.- Yes, they do. What about you?

0:49:03 > 0:49:06I mean, in the past. Come on.

0:49:06 > 0:49:07Where are we going?

0:49:07 > 0:49:10Somewhere I've not been in a long time.

0:49:14 > 0:49:18WILDFOWL CALL AND SQUAWK

0:49:28 > 0:49:30Are we expecting somebody?

0:49:33 > 0:49:36Tommy, I'm fucking freezing here.

0:49:38 > 0:49:40We used to come here.

0:49:43 > 0:49:46She'd wait for hours for me, when I couldn't make it...

0:49:48 > 0:49:52..and I'd wait for her, if her family kept her in.

0:49:54 > 0:49:55Who?

0:49:58 > 0:49:59Some girl.

0:50:01 > 0:50:02Some girl before France.

0:50:07 > 0:50:09I've not been back here since...

0:50:16 > 0:50:18..but I wanted to come here with you.

0:50:30 > 0:50:32Are you kissing her or me?

0:50:35 > 0:50:36You.

0:51:22 > 0:51:24I want Shelby Company Limited

0:51:24 > 0:51:29to increase non-taxable charitable contributions to local charities

0:51:29 > 0:51:31by 25% as of now...

0:51:32 > 0:51:37..and I'm going to build two new institutes for destitute children.

0:51:37 > 0:51:40One in Saltley, one in Digbeth.

0:51:40 > 0:51:42I've already identified the buildings.

0:51:42 > 0:51:44Two former workhouses.

0:51:46 > 0:51:48I want you to be in charge of the project.

0:51:50 > 0:51:52Right, come on, let's go.

0:51:52 > 0:51:53Why?

0:52:01 > 0:52:04Because I promised someone I was going to change the world.

0:52:08 > 0:52:11You do realise, Tommy, we're all going fucking mad here.

0:52:11 > 0:52:15Yeah, I know. Come on.

0:52:28 > 0:52:30Finn? Come here.

0:52:35 > 0:52:36How was your day?

0:52:36 > 0:52:38Yeah, it was OK.

0:52:39 > 0:52:41Good man. Well done.

0:52:41 > 0:52:43No trouble?

0:52:43 > 0:52:45No. No trouble.

0:52:47 > 0:52:48And she looked after you?

0:52:53 > 0:52:56I don't want it like that ever again, Tom.

0:52:56 > 0:53:00Not when they don't even want to do it, except for the money.

0:53:01 > 0:53:05- Everything's for the money, Finn. - Yeah, I know. But, er...

0:53:07 > 0:53:09She said "be a man".

0:53:11 > 0:53:12And were you a man?

0:53:13 > 0:53:14Yeah...

0:53:16 > 0:53:20..but then I apologised to her, cos she just looked so tired.

0:53:23 > 0:53:25Sit down, Finn.

0:53:29 > 0:53:33Right, listen to me, Finn. She was right.

0:53:34 > 0:53:36You need to be a fucking man.

0:53:37 > 0:53:38People get tired.

0:53:38 > 0:53:41Working in a fucking factory gets you tired.

0:53:41 > 0:53:44I don't go round apologising. Do I?

0:53:44 > 0:53:45No.

0:53:45 > 0:53:47There's an empty space here to be filled.

0:53:47 > 0:53:51- Do you understand?- Yeah.

0:53:51 > 0:53:53So, be a fucking man.

0:53:56 > 0:53:57OK, Tom.

0:54:41 > 0:54:43- Champagne, please.- Of course.

0:54:45 > 0:54:51Madam, women alone are not allowed at the bar.

0:54:51 > 0:54:53Will someone be joining you?

0:54:53 > 0:54:55What do you think?

0:55:40 > 0:55:42This is public enough, no?

0:55:44 > 0:55:46Yes.

0:55:48 > 0:55:49So?

0:55:51 > 0:55:54The boy in the hospital is out of bounds...

0:55:54 > 0:55:56..and I'll ask you to spare Finn and Arthur.

0:55:59 > 0:56:01In return for what?

0:56:06 > 0:56:07Tommy Shelby.

0:56:14 > 0:56:16And, er, why should I trust you?

0:56:18 > 0:56:20Because you know our history.

0:56:22 > 0:56:25You know what happened between us.

0:56:27 > 0:56:30You are an unlikely Cassius.

0:56:38 > 0:56:41You know, my mother...

0:56:41 > 0:56:43My mother knew your mother.

0:56:45 > 0:56:48She taught her how to read.

0:56:50 > 0:56:53Did she tell you that John and Arthur spared her life?

0:56:53 > 0:56:55When Tommy wanted her dead.

0:56:57 > 0:57:00Yeah - and now she's giving me the information about you people.

0:57:02 > 0:57:05So, Tommy Shelby was right.

0:57:07 > 0:57:13His ruthlessness...was justified.

0:57:15 > 0:57:18You should have killed her when you had the chance.

0:57:20 > 0:57:22John was a good boy.

0:57:25 > 0:57:27Arthur tries.

0:57:29 > 0:57:31Tommy's different.

0:57:33 > 0:57:36You take Tommy. Spare the rest.

0:57:40 > 0:57:46You know, my mother used to say this about you.

0:57:47 > 0:57:50She said, "That Polly Gray,

0:57:50 > 0:57:54"that child would never let go of a grievance...

0:57:59 > 0:58:01"..and she loves to dance."

0:58:06 > 0:58:08What do you say, hm?

0:58:08 > 0:58:10You want to dance?

0:58:16 > 0:58:17I don't dance any more.

0:58:20 > 0:58:22Yeah, that's a shame...

0:58:29 > 0:58:31..cos you're dancing with me.
