"What do you drink?" "So early, but gin." "Goodness." "With something?" "Like what?" "Tonic water or..." "Erm... we have... cordial." "There's not much room in there but..." "You want to fuck me, Mrs Carleton?" "Perhaps because I..." "Perhaps because I represent something to you?" "We should have this conversation before the booze starts talking for us." "You have a horse." "Yes, I have a horse." "The horse is why I'm here... purely that." "And because you're paying me a lot of money to train your horse, that's why I'm here, purely that." "Good." "Good." "Well, a toast, then." "To the horse, to the Derby." "~ Cheers. ~ Cheers." "So is that what you say to women?" "Only if I don't know what they want." "And what if they don't want to fuck?" "Then life is simpler." "You want a simple life?" "Do I look like a man who wants a simple life, eh?" "So what do you want?" "For what I'm paying you, Mrs Carleton," "I want a horse that'll pay out at Epsom on an each-way bet." "Before I took your account," "I did some credit checks on you." "Apparently, you don't exist." "My existence is questionable." "Gypsies don't like registers." "You see, I'm not a Gypsy like you mean." "But you did register for France." "I also sent your name to the War Office " "I have friends there." "You won two medals for gallantry." "Does that really impress you, Mrs Carleton?" "Call me May." "Charlie says the box van is here." "Thank you, Finn." "You know, I still don't know what you're going to call your horse." "The horse will be called Grace's Secret." "Grace's Secret." "I told him he definitely can't take the job." "He said "All right, I'll move to London, then."" "I said, "I won't give in to blackmail." "No is no."" "Well... that settles it, then." "I'll give the job to the other candidate." "He's much better qualified anyway." "Michael did City And Guilds - six months." "Yeah, but he doesn't know racing, Poll." "He knows horses, but he doesn't know racing." "This other boy, he knows racing." "He's good." "He's a fast learner." "What if Michael really leaves?" "You just got to let him go, Poll." "He'll get a job in an office in London." "I'm sure he'll write to you." "He made a big speech about wanting to help you build up a respectable business." "Oh, he's like his dad, he could make me cry." "There are trains to London." "So I just let him leave?" "Every month or so he'd be back... .. unless of course he meets a girl." "Then, who knows?" "Oh, my God." "You want him to do this job." "Polly, I want what you want." "What about this other more qualified candidate?" "Mmm..." "Well, I lied, there isn't one." "How much are you paying?" "~ The advertised rate." "~ Like hell." "~ Three bob. ~ Like hell." "~ Three and six. ~ Four." "Four it is." "~ I love him, Tom." "~ I know." "That's why I'll keep him away from the old business, put him charge of the new." "Agreed?" "Agreed." "Well, Finn, you've got two choices - mild or mild." "~ Mild. ~ There you go." "~ DOOR OPENS ~ Here he is, look." "CHEERING" "Happy birthday, Michael." "18 years old." "You're a man today." "~ Give him a drink, John Boy." "~ There you go, lad. ~ And after that, we'll go to find you a lady of the night." "Arthur!" "Michael." "What's that?" "So you're never late for work." "Welcome to the business, Michael." "~ Welcome to the business. ~ Thank you." "Right, come on, let's get him drunk." "Come here, you." "All right, whisky." "No whisky, he's at work tomorrow." "Give him only dark mild." "~ A toast. ~ Toast. ~ To Michael." "ALL:" "To Michael." "DOOR OPENS" "Are you all right?" "~ What is it?" "Just us?" "~ Just us." "Are we celebrating?" "Just taste this." "What do you think, Arthur?" "Yeah, it's good." "Good stuff, really nice." "Too good for the Garrison." "I suppose we could shift it to the toffs at the Eden Club." "Why?" "What is it?" "That is part of an export drive." "We now have a secure warehouse in Camden Town and secure passage to the Poplar Docks." "So, on Monday morning, we'll be sending out our first export crate." "A crate of Riley car spares... bound for Halifax, Nova Scotia." "Where there's prohibition." "Where there is prohibition." "All over Canada and America, people are making their own booze in bathtubs." "But rich people in New York, in Toronto and Boston are still paying a lot of money for the real stuff." "So, on Monday, the first Shelby company crate will contain a thousand Riley carburettors." "But hidden in the packing will be 500 bottles of the finest quality single malt Scotch whisky." "And we, Shelby's, have a licence granted by the Minister Of The Empire himself, which means our crates won't be searched." "And, Polly, all of the whisky will be packed at the docks, so Michael can do the books without being involved." "Like I've been telling you all for a year now... motor cars are the future." "So, how is your life then, Tom?" "On the up, Johnny, on the up." "But, Tom, really, come on, how is it?" "You know I hate to see you not even married yet." "I have a fine looking cousin, she'll make your life hell." "You deserve her!" "HE CHUCKLES" "We haven't had a good old wedding in a long time." "Have you had a look inside these boxes, then, Johnny?" "What do I want to look at car parts, Tommy, when I haven't even got a car?" "Faith in family's a fine thing, eh?" "And I wouldn't even be counting." "25 becomes 24, then 24 it is." "Oh, you know I'm no good with numbers, Tom." "And if 24 ever became 23... then that'd be tax." "We don't pay tax." "No, Tom." "Good man." "I put an iron door on, and we've put iron bars on the windows and across the skylights." "~ Good. ~ So what will you be keeping in here, Tommy?" "Temptation, Billy." "Temptation." "DOOR OPENS" "Morning, Arthur." "I was just passing." "I think I'm in fucking love." "HE SNAPS HIS FINGERS Drink!" "She don't know where to look." "Whisky, Tommy?" "No, I've got a long drive ahead." "You off home?" "Mm-hmmm." "Eventually." "To Birmingham." "What's this?" "Olives." "Yes, it's miscellaneous." "It's, erm, olives." "Sticks, you know, with little bits of fucking onion and things." "That's what that is." "We've taken 600 pounds on olives." "Yeah, with little bits of onion." "I told you, Arthur... .. the dealers sell the cocaine, we take a cut." "We don't sell direct." "The Home Secretary's cracking down" "~ and I don't want this..." "~ HE TAPS THE DESK" ".. to fuck up everything else, you understand?" "I understand." "How much of that 600 came out of your pocket?" "It's under control." "I put you down here cos people are scared of you, Arthur." "But if you don't straighten up, it'll be John's turn in London." "No need." "I can handle it." "It's under control?" "It's under control." "Fucking tidy profit, though, eh?" "It's happening, Tom." "Good." "Good." "Straighten up, soldier." "Yes, sir, Sergeant Major." "What's your business?" "Sorry, I'm, er, I'm lost here." "~ Yeah, well, you can't stop here." "Move on. ~ All right." "ENGINE STARTS" "23 seconds." "It's all right, Ada, it'll be Andrew for me." "Oh." "I'm looking for Ada." "Who are you?" "Ada." "I asked you a question." "It's all right, James." "This is my brother." "Who's he?" "He rents a room." "You need to rent out rooms?" "Actually, she doesn't charge rent." "He's a writer, which means he's skint." "You get up late these days, Ada." "Mm." "I go to bed late." "Yeah?" "Where's Karl?" "What do you want, Tommy?" "Oh, God, before you start sizing him up for a wedding suit, he's not interested in me... ~ or in girls of any kind." "~ Ada!" "What?" "Tommy won't judge you." "He sure as hell won't go to the police." "Look, I'll go and get dressed." "James..." "I'm Thomas." "Pleased to meet you." "Can I have a minute with my sister, please?" "Yes, of course." "So, does your lodger know your name?" "Yeah." "Thorne." "You think I'd tell anybody anything else?" "Your Brummie boys are all over the papers." "Just one last push, eh?" "Then you'll go legit?" "Just one more obstacle to get round then it'll all be straight?" "Actually, yes." "SHE GIGGLES" "Personally, I find it quite amusing." "Men like you are becoming very fashionable down here." "No society party in London is complete without a gangster for the girls to go giddy for." "Anyway, what is it that you want?" "I don't have any children, Ada... .. so I have set up a trust fund." "The beneficiaries will be John's kids and Karl." "In order for Karl to benefit, I need your signature." "I've... set up an account." "Money will be transferred in the event of my death." "It'll set them up for a new life." "Are you sick?" "I'm just doing what any ordinary man would, putting my affairs in order." "'Did you know they was going to take the Eden club?" "'I know about the Eden club, yes.'" "Did you know they were going to do it before they did it?" "Because that's the one who's in charge, isn't it?" "The one who knows before it happens." "I know what I know, you know." "If you don't know, then you don't fucking know, do you?" "Did you know they was going to take Wimbledon dogs?" "Harringay?" "The trotting tracks?" "Talk, all right?" "I genuinely want to hear you." "You've lost control, Alfie." "Have I?" "Everybody knows." "~ Talk to me, Alfie." "~ Talk to you?" "All right, I'll talk to you." "I'll fucking tell you how it was, right?" "What happened was this." "All the time you were talking about dirty fucking Jews." "All the fucking time - dirty fucking Jews, dirty Kikes," "~ dirty dustbin lids... ~ Everyone makes jokes. ~ You want to talk about" "~ not getting into places?" "~ Everybody makes fucking jokes." "I didn't know you had no sense of humour!" "And I ain't going to FUCKING mention, right, the great big fuck off elephant in the room." "Look, Alfie..." "How many of my bookies worked Epsom this last May?" "None." "None." "Not one." "So, for a few fucking jokes and Epsom, you fucking invite a tribe of savages into the city and just fucking unlock the fucking gates!" "I'm sorry, what are you saying, mate?" "I'm saying..." "I'm sorry about the Jew thing." "~ Are you saying you're sorry?" "~ Yeah." "~ You're sorry about the Jew thing?" "~ Yeah." "~ Really?" "~ Yeah." "I want that in writing." "Write that down." "He said, "I'm sorry"." "And also write down that all our bookies can go back to Epsom." "~ He didn't say that." "~ Who's asking you?" "~ No." "Write it down." "It's all right." "Come on." "Alfie's an old friend." "My friend." "Now, admit it, the Peaky Blinders is out of control." "Yeah, they're out of fucking control, mate." "They come down the canal, they spread like the fucking clap." "~ Right." "So now they're everybody's problem. ~ Yeah." "~ Alfie. ~ Mm." "~ You and me, we've been fighting since we was at school. ~ Yeah." "~ All right?" "Now, also, we've been friends. ~ Mm, yeah." "You know, it goes backwards and forwards." "How much better is it when we're friends?" "Oh, it's much better, mate, yeah." "You write that down." "So what we're doing here, right, is we're writing down some kind of a deal thing, right?" "~ Yeah, a written deal." "~ Written deal, good." "Well, why don't we discuss the border between the Italians and the Jews going back to Farringdon Road." "~ Farringdon Road..." "~ Yeah, Farringdon Road. ~ Fuck!" "That's ancient history." "~ Write down Farringdon Road." "~ No, no, no, write down Camden Road." "~ Farringdon Road. ~ Camden Road." "~ Write down Farringdon. ~ Camden." "~ Farringdon. ~ Camden." "Write down Camden Road." "Just write down "peace"." "Just write down "peace", right, between the Jews and the Italians." "And war... against the gypsies." "Fuck." "DOOR OPENS" "WOMANS'S VOICE:" "Mr Thomas Shelby, madam." "Nice house." "Would you like a whisky?" "Scotch or Irish?" "Irish." "GLASSES CLINKING" "Sorry for the short notice." "I was... passing." "We're not quite on the Birmingham road." "It was a small diversion." "60 miles" " I checked." "That's a small diversion these days." "So, I'm a small diversion." "Good." "Your horse is still out on the gallops, but I had Mickey prepare this report." "You can read it now if you'd like, then we can go see her." "Is there enough light for you to read?" "Yes, it's fine." "It's getting quite late." "Mickey says she has the lungs of an elephant." "She's nimble in the heavy going, but bounces a little on the hard ground." "Sorry, I'll let you read." "So, he thinks she'll favour good to soft ground, eh?" "~ A little juice in the grass. ~ Mm." "Well, that's good for Epsom." "Does he think she's not good enough for Epsom?" "She needs a lot of work." "The race board will need convincing." "~ I imagine you have some influence." "~ Mm." "That's the suggested programme for the next two months." "Your glass is empty." "It's fine." "Are you hungry?" "Yes, a bit." "I can prepare something." "Do you have engine oil?" "Before I set off for Birmingham, the car needs oil." "I'm sure my husband kept some in the garage." "I can someone to do it." "This evening or tomorrow?" "Well, we're so far from anywhere, people usually stay over." "Especially before cars, when it was just carriages, people used to stay over all the time." "But I have a car." "Yes." "And you have... engine oil." "Probably." "But it would be very usual." "What would?" "For a guest to stay." "We have a whole wing called the guest wing." "Oh, you..." "You have a guest wing." "Well..." "May." "Have a smoke." "Thank you." "Ignore this." "It's actually all right." "I put all his photos in a drawer and locked it... .. as if that was going to make a difference." "I'm like a fucking lighthouse keeper..." ".. out here on my own... .. keeping his flame burning." "But, of course, when anyone sees a lighthouse they stay clear, don't they?" "Now, do you have a map?" "Of the house." "Do you have a map?" "Because I'm not going to be able to find my way in the dark." "You see, at midnight," "I'm going to leave my wing and I'm going to come find you." "And I'm going to turn the handle of your bedroom door without making a sound and none of the maids will know." "You don't know maids." "They hear a pin drop?" "If there's a man in the house, they listen." "They take turns." "So, let them listen." "Right." "Day rate, seven shillings." "Loading, unloading." "Night rate, three." "Total ten." "Let's go and get a drink." "No, I'm all right." "Come on, it's payday." "Everybody has a drink on payday." "Not me." "You think your mum don't have a drink on payday?" "You think the Lord Almighty don't have a drink on payday?" "Man, it's on fire out there, women from the BSA offices, honest." "They go out on their own without their men these days, in twos and threes now." "Mickey, they go out in twos and threes and buy their own drinks." "The Marquis, that's where the BSA secretaries go." "Look, they won't serve a black man without a Shelby by his side." "So you're using me?" "Yeah." "Come on." "LAUGHTER AND CHATTER" "I told you, I fucking told you, this city's gone mad." "Girls go out on their own now." "Two pints of dark mild, please." "Fuck that." "We're Peaky boys." "Two whiskies." "You get used to it, then you can't stop." "HE WHISTLES" "I don't drink with blacks." "Here we fucking go." "Paddy, they're OK." "Not with me, they're not." "I don't drink in pubs with blacks." "So leave." "Look, my dad is the preacher round here." "He has connections, ask anybody." "I couldn't give a fuck who he is." "I'm telling you to leave it, Paddy." "And I'm telling this darkie to get out of here." "You know something?" "Fuck off." "It's all right, Isaiah, come on, leave it." "~ We'll go to my cousin's pub." "~ I like it here."

"Did you see his fucking face?" "You punch like a fucking kangaroo." "I seen one once in a circus, you punch like that." "All right, anyway, I need a fucking drink." "~ It's on you." "~ It's on me?" "You just got paid." "Yeah, from you." "Fucking hell, it's packed in here, isn't it?" "So it's as easy as that?" "Easy as that, John boy." "London, you wouldn't believe it."
