We need to find a solution, all right?
We have to find a way forward.
I appreciate the relationship
between the Dogans
and the Lazaros goes back
more than three decades.
I appreciate that it's an ecosystem
spanning North and East London.
Myriad complex,
interdependent revenue streams,
the collapse of which
will affect entire communities
and cost literally millions.
I mean, not just to us. Right?
But to you, Costas, yeah?
And you, Mehmet. And your families.
Why? Because of
some stupid fucking beef
that-that we can
put to bed right here, yeah?
Right now.
With a handshake and an apology.
I will shake hands.
Okay.
For the sake of peace
I will also.
But apology? No.
[shouting in Greek]
[overlapping arguing
in foreign languages]
I don't understand
a fucking word you're saying.
Uh, wh-what are you saying?
Are-are you saying
you are willing to accept a truce?
Based solely on a handshake
but with no apology?
I will shake hands.
Okay. Mehmet?

I will shake hands.
[Harry] Okay. That's good.
That's a start, innit?
That's good. Hold that thought.
[whispers indistinctly] Okay?
Uh-huh.

[fork clinking]
Where are we?
They've agreed to shake hands.
Hmm.
No apologies?
No.
Well
what does your gut tell you?
Honestly?
That it's a bit of
sticky plaster, innit?
Last maybe five, six months at best.
Then they'll kick off and
we'd be back where we started.
Maybe worse.
My source inside the Dogans
tells me that, uh,
Mehmet has been skimming off the top.
And it's a damn sight more
than two or three grand
here and there.
And it turns out that Costas
has been a naughty boy, too.
It's always the same, in any orchard.
You plant the trees.
The trees grow tall.
Then, sooner or later,
they begin to get mangled,
and before you know it,
the apples start to rot.
And that, Harry, my son,
is pruning time.
All right.

Anyone home?
Archie.
Morning, Maeve.
What are you doing here?
I thought you were dead.
Uh, no. That was Pete,
my brother, a few weeks back.
No, no, no. No, it was you,
because Conrad came to me
and he said, "Maeve,
I've got bad news. Archie's dead."
You know he was in bits.
You are his oldest friend.
Wha
Oh, no, no. Wait, wait, I'm wrong.
No, I'm wrong. It was someone else.
Well, come on, man. What do you want?
Well, Conrad put the Bat-Signal
up, so I came running.
Is he here?
He's down by the river, as usual.
You'll need your wellies.
It's boggy as fuck down there.
You know, that's strange.
Could've sworn you were dead.
[chuckles]
Any joy?
Are those my wellies, Archie?
My Uncle Tommy used to say,
"If they're not biting,
chuck a whelk on. Fish go potty
for a cheeky whelk."
This is fly fishing,
not whelk fishing, Archie.
An artificial lure made of fur,
horse hair, feathers,
mimicking small invertebrates
to deceive, bamboozle,
hoodwink your prey.
It's a bit like you then, Conrad.
[scoffs] Whelk? That's poaching.
Do you remember him? Uncle Tommy?
How could I forget your
Uncle Tommy, now? [chuckles]
He taught me fishing
on the Regent's Canal.
Nine years old.
Showed me the blood knot,
the nail knot.
Then he tried to pull
my shorts down and grab my cock.
Well, that's a bit disappointing.
Never tried to grab my cock.
That's because you were
never as cute as me, Archie.
I never knew Uncle Tommy was a nonce.
I never knew he was a poacher.
- [ducks quacking]

Hmm.
That's an awful lot of work
for not a lot of fish.
Yeah, I agree.
It's a bit of a disappointment.
But a gentleman never pours salt

Where are we with the twins?
Stalemate. Lawyers
can't shift it an inch.
Huh. Have you ever known a lawyer
who didn't like talking
to another lawyer
when he's on the clock?
Come here, come here.
[grunts] Offer them 80%
plus 20% of the commercial rental value
for two two years.
Oh, the Maltese have
made an offer on heroin,
20% up on our dear departed friends.
Bingo. There you have it now.
I told you that was good business.
I want 25%.
And ten million up front.
Spread five million around Hackney
and the other five million
can go to the Mexicans.
We got to make a move
on this fentanyl now.
Fentanyl? Well, Richie won't be happy.
Yeah, well, you leave
Richie Stevenson to me now.
Yeah, but we don't want to
start a war with the Stevensons.
Why not? Hmm? Come on now, Archie.
We're on a roll.
Why stop when you can carry on?
[chuckles]
I tell you, we should
pull his pants down
and grab old Richie's cock.

[Harry]
So, what's the story on the BMW?
It's clean.
I registered her in Ipswitch.
I'll get another
75 horsepower out of her,
and then she'll be good to go.
If we burn her,
it won't come back to haunt us.
Where'd you get that?
Last night, St. John's Wood.
I've already got a buyer
for it in Kosovo.
Watch this.

I'll have the money tomorrow
for you for the BMW.

- Can you get over here?
- House or yard?
House.
Eddie came home last night
covered in blood.
All right, mate. On my way.
[Kevin] Eddie!

If his granddad finds out,
he's a dead man.
I'm fucking dead.

Morning, Eddie.
Well, go on. Tell him.
Please don't, Dad.
I've got a throbber on.
Here.
Eddie, why don't you sit down?
Thank you.
- Can I have one?
- [Kevin] No, you fucking can't.
Don't make him one.
All right, what happened?
He stabbed up another kid in a club.
I gave him a plunge.
Right. How badly did you hurt him?
Search me.
What did you do with your knife?
- Tossed it.
- Where?
In the drink.
It's in the Thames.
Three feet of mud,
never gonna be seen again.
Where is the club?
Somewhere east.
[clears throat] You can
either help me now, right?
Or you can carry on doing
whatever it is that you're
you're doing, and you will
end up doing five to ten
in Belmarsh for attempted murder.
You're a fucking numpty.
- Where is the club?
- I've got the address
- in my phone.
- Right.
Can you guess what
my next question's gonna be?
Go and get your stuff. Your shirt.
Everything you wore last night.
Pants, socks, the lot.
I've already bagged them up,
except his shoes.
- Eddie, where are your shoes?
- They're Italian.
- [sighs] Oh, fuck's sake.
- [Harry] Okay.
Great. Why don't
you wear them in court?
What if this kid dies?
- We'll deal with it.
- [sighs]
That boy's gonna give me
a fucking heart attack.
It's oat milk.
Oh. Uh, oat oat milk?
Kevin had a checkup.
He's got high cholesterol.
The doctors put him on statins.
Now we're all supposed
to drink oat milk.
Well, can't he
Have him have the oat milk,
and you just drink the normal milk?
Suppose we could.
Keep a secret supply.
Drink it behind his back.
I don't suppose he'd ever find out.
I don't think he would.

Well, I feel like I owe you an apology.
So I just want to say I'm sorry.
What for?
For well, for my part in-in, um

are you apologizing for?
You know, the part that I

Okay? So
I just wanted to clear the air

Well, thank you, Harry.
It means the world to me that
you've gone away, reflected

constructive, straight from the heart.
No, no. Gina's being funny, right?

Ooh. [stammers]
He sounds defensive, doesn't he?

do everything they can
to solve their differences,
and ones who don't and get divorced.
Yeah, I remember, I remember that.
I'm not asking you
to grow an extra arm.
I'm asking you to go with me

I just think, you know, like,
a man and a woman,
they have their-their arguments

Do you know what some people
say about the Harrigans?
That they're getting too comfortable,
too complacent, too arrogant.
I could keep unfurling
adjectives all day long,

Anyway, that's what "they" say,
it's not what I say.
You may be wondering
what's the connection
between complacency and arrogance.
They don't sound like
they're closely related.
But they are.
They're not siblings, they're cousins.
Do you know why that is, H?
I don't know.
Success breeds complacency.
Complacency breeds hubris.

Just watch his face when
you mention the "F" word.
Right.
The twins have agreed
to our terms. Hmm?
It's only taken two years
to reel the poncey fuckers in,
but I'd had enough. I sent Archie
to work his magic.
Archie took my offer to the
twins, and the twins bought it.
- That's good work, boy.
- Now, this deal takes us
to the next level.
It'll throw off the thick end
of a million per week.
But we still have to service
a shit ton of debt
before the building
starts washing its face.
Now, before the twins
agreed to play ball,
we were pulling in ooh,
north of two million per week
across our slate, that was.
Heroin's booming.
Guns, too.
But we can't let the grass grow.
Moreover, I have
my own nut to think of,
least of all you beloved
fuckers. [chuckles]
Bloodsucking lawyers, et cetera.
Now, the question is,
how do we fund this expansion? Hmm?
Fentanyl.
Hmm? Mm-hmm.
Start a crackdown.
The Stevensons sealed up The Fire
right across London north and south.
Now, I know some of you
thought I'd lost the plot,
missed the boat, nothing doing.
Who controls The Fire?
The answer? The Mexicans.
Now, we all know
the Mexicans are a bunch
of jumpy, impracticable,
insane, dangerous cocksuckers.
So I thought to myself, "Who do I know
who's also a jumpy, impracticable,
insane, dangerous cocksucker?
Richie Stevenson."
So, I sat back and I let Richie
fill up his boots,
knowing it was only a matter
of time before the Mexicans
got sick of the cunt,
stuck an apple in his mouth
and spit-roast him for Cinco de Mayo.
Whereupon we come in at a lower price,
because now there's no competition.
- So
- May I say something, Conrad?
Please. Be my guest.
Yeah, w-with the utmost respect,

is the solution.
Number one, it's bad news.

Go on. You've got the floor now.
Nah. Ignore me.

Uh, no. That was Pete,
my brother, a few weeks back.
No, no, no. No, it was you,
because Conrad came to me
and he said, "Maeve,
I've got bad news. Archie's dead."
You know he was in bits.
You are his oldest friend.
Wha
Oh, no, no. Wait, wait, I'm wrong.
No, I'm wrong. It was someone else.
Well, come on, man. What do you want?
Well, Conrad put the Bat-Signal
up, so I came running.
Is he here?
He's down by the river, as usual.
You'll need your wellies.
It's boggy as fuck down there.
You know, that's strange.
Could've sworn you were dead.
[chuckles]
Any joy?
Are those my wellies, Archie?
My Uncle Tommy used to say,
"If they're not biting,
chuck a whelk on. Fish go potty
for a cheeky whelk."
This is fly fishing,
not whelk fishing, Archie.
An artificial lure made of fur,
horse hair, feathers,
mimicking small invertebrates
to deceive, bamboozle,
hoodwink your prey.
It's a bit like you then, Conrad.
[scoffs] Whelk? That's poaching.
Do you remember him? Uncle Tommy?
How could I forget your
Uncle Tommy, now? [chuckles]
He taught me fishing
on the Regent's Canal.
Nine years old.
Showed me the blood knot,
the nail knot.
Then he tried to pull
my shorts down and grab my cock.
Well, that's a bit disappointing.
Never tried to grab my cock.
That's because you were
never as cute as me, Archie.
I never knew Uncle Tommy was a nonce.
I never knew he was a poacher.

Hmm.
That's an awful lot of work
for not a lot of fish.
Yeah, I agree.
It's a bit of a disappointment.
But a gentleman never pours salt

Huh. Have you ever known a lawyer
who didn't like talking

Come here, come here.
[grunts] Offer them 80%
plus 20% of the commercial rental value
for two two years.
Oh, the Maltese have
made an offer on heroin,
20% up on our dear departed friends.
Bingo. There you have it now.
I told you that was good business.
I want 25%.
And ten million up front.
Spread five million around Hackney
and the other five million
can go to the Mexicans.
We got to make a move
on this fentanyl now.
Fentanyl? Well, Richie won't be happy.
Yeah, well, you leave
Richie Stevenson to me now.
Yeah, but we don't want to
start a war with the Stevensons.
Why not? Hmm? Come on now, Archie.
We're on a roll.
Why stop when you can carry on?
[chuckles]
I tell you, we should
pull his pants down
and grab old Richie's cock.

So, what's the story on the BMW?
It's clean.
I registered her in Ipswitch.

He stabbed up another kid in a club.
I gave him a plunge.

What did you do with your knife?

In the drink.
It's in the Thames.

Where is the club?
Somewhere east.

end up doing five to ten

You're a fucking numpty.
- Where is the club?
- I've got the address

- Right.
Can you guess what
my next question's gonna be?
Go and get your stuff. Your shirt.
Everything you wore last night.
Pants, socks, the lot.
I've already bagged them up,
except his shoes.
- Eddie, where are your shoes?
- They're Italian.
- [sighs] Oh, fuck's sake.
- [Harry] Okay.
Great. Why don't
you wear them in court?
What if this kid dies?
- We'll deal with it.

That boy's gonna give me
a fucking heart attack.
It's oat milk.
Oh. Uh, oat oat milk?
Kevin had a checkup.
He's got high cholesterol.
The doctors put him on statins.
Now we're all supposed
to drink oat milk.
Well, can't he
Have him have the oat milk,
and you just drink the normal milk?
Suppose we could.
Keep a secret supply.
Drink it behind his back.
I don't suppose he'd ever find out.
I don't think he would.

you were a bit of a cunt.
[Moody] All right, gents.
Why don't we stick
to the matter at hand?
My boy didn't come home,
and I know that he was
with Eddie Harrigan last night.
- Right. Says who?
- Does it fucking matter?
Where's Eddie?
I need to see Eddie Harrigan.
I need to hear it from
his own mouth, face to face,
whether he was with my boy last night.
Oh, come on, Richie.
You know that you can't just
summon the governor's
grandson like that.
If you make things difficult for me,
it won't end well for you, Harry.
[Moody] Richie.
Come on, mate, you know the protocols.
That's why you both put
50 grand in the pot.
To stop all this nastiness.
So before you blow your jets,
let me save you
that 50K and, uh, no more threats.
This is about my fucking boy, Moody.
Not a kilo of chop or some
brass that's taken a slap.
This is my fucking blood.
Now, either I talk with Eddie Harrigan,
or there will be a fucking drama.
All right, Richie.
You're emotional, I get that.
You know, you just got to
simmer down here.
I tell you what I can do. Right?
I will personally speak to Eddie.
And we will get to the bottom of this.
Tense music ♪
You got till noon tomorrow.
Noon is good.
There you go, Harry.
Oh, thanks. Cheers, mate. Thank you.
Good man. Well done.
Yes, be safe, mate.
[Kiko] Harry's out.
[line ringing]
Conrad.
[Conrad] Where are we?
Yeah, Eddie's lying.
If Tommy's gone,
there's gonna be a war.
We can do Richie now. It's your call.
I'm thinking.
Conrad?
He's making his way
to the car now.
[speaking inaudibly]
He's stopped, having a chat.
- [door opens]
- [Maeve] Archie's here.
Maeve, shut the door. Where is he now?
Still chatting.
Yep. Hang about, hang about. Maeve,
Harry's got Richie Stevenson in
the crosshairs. Stick or twist?
- [sighs] Conrad.
- [Maeve] Oh, wait, wait.
Is stick "do him" or is that "twist"?
Of course "twist" is "do him."
He's moving.
You need to make a decision.
He's about ten seconds
from getting in his vehicle.
Nine.
- Eight.
- [Zosia] If we're gonna do this,
- we better get a move on.
- [Harry] Seven.
Six.
About three seconds, Conrad.
♪
Stick.
Stick.
[Zosia] It's off.
[Conrad] For the avoidance of doubt,
let the cunt live.
Stand down.
Why? Just out of interest.
Why?
It's obvious. Wrong place, wrong time.
Huh. How's that?
Number one, we don't know
what Eddie knows.
- Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
- We don't know where Tommy is.
And two, don't you want to
be there when Richie gets done?
I know I fucking do. [chuckles]
- [laughs] Yeah.
- [phone chimes]
- Oh, it's Kevin.
- Oh.
All right.
Let's get this show on the road.
- Mm-hmm.
- Yep.
[Conrad] Oh. [chuckles]
You didn't tell me she was coming.
Oh, my mistake.
Is that your pet name for her?
Seraphina! My number one daughter.
Don't you mean
your number one child? [laughs]
[chuckles] Ah. Look at you now.
Eldest son present, FYI.
And youngest son.
Oh, Brendan, you're looking
very dapper there,
- with your fancy scarf.
- Mm.
"Dapper," or "worryingly creepy"?
[chuckles] Ah, Seraphina.
How I've missed your kittenish banter.
Uh, listen, before I forget. Um,
I've got a proposition for you.
Sounds ominous.
- Evening, Kevin.
- Dad.
Yep. [sighs, sniffles]
Where are we with Tommy and Eddie?
Ah, leave Tommy and Eddie to me.
Come on in. We've got news.
- [Brendan] Hi, Arch.
- All right.
- All right, Mama.
- [Archie] Hi.
Brendan, what the fuck are you wearing?
Just a scarf. [mutters]
[Seraphina] Ooh, family
lawyer's here. Must be serious.
How are you?
He wouldn't have called a meeting
- if it wasn't serious.
- Mama.
[Archie] Hey, listen, Conrad.
Something's been bothering me.
Yes. What you said about Uncle Tommy.
- Mm-hmm.
- Having a fiddle.
I had no idea.
I mean, in my head all these
years, he's been a beacon.
Staunch. Reliable.
I was wondering, is that why he,
you know, emigrated?
Oh, Tommy emigrated, all right.
To a pig farm in Norfolk. [snorting]
[snarling]
- [laughs] Oh, you
- [chuckles]
Hey.
Hiya. What?
Speaking of mistakes
[Conrad] Uh-huh.
Did you know old Archie's
been going behind your back
with The Fire?
- Bollocks.
- Mm.
Don't believe me?
Just watch his face when
you mention the "F" word.
Right.
The twins have agreed
to our terms. Hmm?
It's only taken two years
to reel the poncey fuckers in,
but I'd had enough. I sent Archie
to work his magic.
Archie took my offer to the
twins, and the twins bought it.
- That's good work, boy.
- Now, this deal takes us
to the next level.
It'll throw off the thick end
of a million per week.
But we still have to service
a shit ton of debt
before the building
starts washing its face.
Now, before the twins
agreed to play ball,
we were pulling in ooh,
north of two million per week
across our slate, that was.
Heroin's booming.
Guns, too.
But we can't let the grass grow.
Moreover, I have
my own nut to think of,
least of all you beloved
fuckers. [chuckles]
Bloodsucking lawyers, et cetera.
Now, the question is,
how do we fund this expansion? Hmm?
Fentanyl.
Hmm? Mm-hmm.
Start a crackdown.
The Stevensons sealed up The Fire
right across London north and south.
Now, I know some of you
thought I'd lost the plot,
missed the boat, nothing doing.
Who controls The Fire?
The answer? The Mexicans.
Now, we all know
the Mexicans are a bunch
of jumpy, impracticable,
insane, dangerous cocksuckers.
So I thought to myself, "Who do I know
who's also a jumpy, impracticable,
insane, dangerous cocksucker?
Richie Stevenson."
So, I sat back and I let Richie
fill up his boots,
knowing it was only a matter
of time before the Mexicans
got sick of the cunt,
stuck an apple in his mouth
and spit-roast him for Cinco de Mayo.
Whereupon we come in at a lower price,
because now there's no competition.
- So
- May I say something, Conrad?
Please. Be my guest.
Yeah, w-with the utmost respect,
I'm not sure if fentanyl
is the solution.
Number one, it's bad news.
And two, we've got
enough beef with Richie
over Tommy and Eddie.
And the Mexicans
Go on. You've got the floor now.
Nah. Ignore me.
[Conrad] Okay. So,
you're saying there, now, Archie,
we should leave things
as they are. Huh?
With Richie in charge. Of the fentanyl.
Well, I'm just saying
we could perhaps discuss it.
We? Could discuss it?
I'm gonna take a piss.
Listen, Maeve. Can you talk to him?
Um, I mean, maybe we do this,
but it's all about timing.
Uh
This ruck with Richie
over Tommy is surely not the moment.
I mean, am I the only one here who
You know, Archie
you make a much better arse-licker
than you do a traitor.
[laughs] What?
[Maeve] I'm saying, Archie,
you're a much better toady yes-man
than a traitor.
A traitor?
How much is Richie paying you
to keep us off The Fire?
Three, four, five percent?
- [Conrad clears throat]
- [door closes]
That's better.
Oh, Archie. [chuckling] I tell you.
Come here, give me your hands.
- Oh.
- What?
[Conrad kisses]

ominous music ♪
Ah
Is this what happens
when you go behind my back?
- Huh?
- No, listen, Conrad.
I swear on my life, on our childhoods.
[Conrad] Maeve? Are you lying to me?
Is this a windup?
Stick or twist, baby. Stick or twist.
Wha
Is this some kind of piss-take?
Yes, Archie.
- The piss has been taken.
- [gunshot]
- Dad!
- Ah, fuck!
Mm.
