Gangs of London (2020) s01e04 Episode Script

1
- Luan knows there's a conversation.
- Sean
He knows what my dad was doing
that night on HIS territory.
Your husband was one hell
of a squirrel, Mrs Wallace.
- Tell me about her: Floriana.
- She's going to have his baby.
- Finn kept his contacts hidden.
- I can make introductions.
Ed, you know a great deal more
than you're telling any one of us.
- I'm married.
- Then take me home, then.
My grandson had a lot
of questions about you.
I didn't know what to tell him.
Don't ever go against me again.
At the hint of anyone else
in danger, you stop it.
- What's happened?
- Your son's what's happened!
To my family
To my beautiful family!
We fucking did it, boyo!
Ah, my beautiful boys.
Sean!
Come in here, Sean, ya bollocks.
You see that, eh?
Alex came good.
Ten billion dirty yen vanished, pff!
Into cement and glass.
That's what success
looks like for us now.
Invisible.
- And YOU.
- What?
You said we couldn't do it
Come on. "Yeah, yeah,
yeah." Denied your own son!
- OK, so you proved me wrong.
- Well, we did it.
Thanks, Finn,
for everything.
You know, for believing in me.
The geeks shall inherit the earth.
You keep bringing me the numbers,
I'll keep turning them into stone.
You do your job well, son.
What are you going to
do when I'm not here?
What do you mean?
When I die, Sean.
Alex has taken us to a new level.
You have to deliver.
- I will.
- Mm
You're a Wallace.
A Wallace!
Everything hangs upon our name.
You understand?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Don't fucking "yeah" me.
Do you understand?
- Yes, Dad.
- Yes. Yes, Finn.
Hm
Good. Good.
Because when you're on top,
there's always someone
looking to take you down.
Who's gonna touch us, eh?
That's my boy.
- Ah, Billy!
- What's the celebration?
- Happy families?
- To my family
Cheers!
Cheers.
Guess what I'm gonna play?
You see, Seany boy, we're all family.
That's what keeps us strong.
Always keep your family close,
and everything will work out fine.
Fuck off!
I said, fuck off! Get the fuck out!
Get the fuck back!
Move!
Get the fuck out! Get the fuck out!
- Agh!
- Fuck off!
Move, move!
Fuck!
Move!
Let me give you a little topping up
Ah, that was intense!
You lot are jokers, man.
Grab an umbrella, Anthony.
You're gonna need it.
Hey, stop fucking around, man.
Ah! Thank you, Jesus!
Oh
- Shut the blasted door!
- This place stinks, man.
Raheem, tell your uncle
to clean this place up!
Hey, shut up, man!
- Uncle!
- Don't "uncle" me.
- Who is he?
- That's Tony.
Helped us out on a job.
What job? I didn't give you any job.
The Royal Arcade. We hit
it this morning, innit?
That place is Wallace protected, man!
Calm down, man.
Their boss is done. No-one's watching.
Sean Wallace got eyes everywhere.
And just for the record
he's a fucking psychopath.
Just tell us if you can shift it or not.
You know he shot up the traveller site.
Murdered more than 20 gypsies
just to send a message.
Sean Wallace?
Raheem, what the fuck
are we gonna do, man?
We need to fix this.
You get this out of my house right now!
N-O - fucking W - now!
Come on, let's go.
What happened last night?
I told you I was gonna
take care of Lale.
- I had a plan.
- Which you failed to share with me.
I cannot be on the back foot here, Sean.
- We have enough enemies as it is.
- Then trust me.
If you and Elliot hadn't intervened,
we wouldn't be wiping
Cole's brains off the floor.
This is not how your
father and I worked.
We communicated.
One of our jewellery shops
was robbed this morning.
We're losing respect.
People are watching us.
Here.
This is where we must be strong.
What was Elliot doing there last night?
- I didn't send him.
- I don't know.
I didn't order him either.
But I do want to find out
exactly who or what he is.
Look, I want us to be strong again.
Bring Alex to the house tonight.
We'll have dinner. The whole family.
Thanks, son.
Doors closing.
Morning, sunshine.
Geez!
Come on.
Knee popped again.
Really?
How's work?
Yeah, fine.
It's busy.
Sorry I haven't been around much lately.
I got Sally to take me
to the cemetery yesterday.
Ah.
Yeah. Well
tell her
thank you
from me.
Come here.
What kind of trouble are you in?
Is this work now?
No. Dad, really
it's fine.
If you knew what I was
doing, you'd be proud of me.
Elliot
I AM proud of you.
They were an Albanian family.
The whole bloodline
wiped out in Albania.
Which one did Finn want dead?
Probably not
the 12-year-old.
- This isn't Finn.
- Luan brought you this?
Finn gave him a free pass on
some washing to do the hit.
Half a billion pounds worth.
That much money, I'd
have seen it in the books.
Finn must have bypassed
you. He bypassed us both.
No, Luan's lying. This
isn't how Finn operated.
- Tell him to go
- A fortnight ago, yes.
But something got Finn shot in the head.
I'll look for the money.
Then we pass judgment.
Let me talk to Sean.
- No, not yet.
- What do you mean, not yet.
Because I need to think,
and I cannot do that with Sean
using psychopaths like Cole.
It's chaos.
Sean walked into chaos.
How can he take over and
act like everything's fine?
I just wish the boy would listen to me.
Finn brought order to this
city, and Sean's destroying that.
Believe me, Alex. They
tie one body to us,
and it's not just us
exposed: it's everybody.
You know Sean loves you.
That's what this whole
dinner tonight's about.
Yeah, I know.
And I wouldn't be
honouring Finn's memory
if I didn't at least try
to keep his son in check.
Jevan's invited us to meet some
friends of Finn's tonight.
Friends?
What about Sean?
We'll be back in time for his dinner.
You think you can fill it?
Open the docks,
- no problem.
- Good.
We're going to make a
lot of money together.
Why? Why do you want to
go into business with me?
I've seen what you're
willing to sacrifice.
You know what they say
about my enemy's enemy?
So this is about Asif?
The entire old order.
I work with who I can trust now.
If people get angry, so be it.
Your boyfriend doesn't like me.
My people
they die for me,
and if I tell them they die for you too.
- Whatever Asif throws at us
- It won't come to that.
Nasir's in the public eye. His
father won't risk the attention.
And Luan?
- Have you looked him in the eye?
- Not yet.
Tax haven, housing hell!
Tax haven, housing hell!
Tax haven, housing hell!
The trickle-down effect has been a lie
and I am here to tackle
that deceit from the inside.
Pause. Let it land.
Every empty home chips
away at our city's soul.
This city is more than
just a destination.
London is a home.
The time has come to end the
exploitation of OUR capital
by rich foreign investors.
And to those developers
with towers that lay empty,
facilitating the criminalisation
of London property,
I am here to tell you
the ride is over.
My office is coming for you.
All right, sis?
Hi. Wait! Norovirus on the ward.
I don't get sick.
You know it's my super power.
You get my message about tonight?
Yeah. I assumed it was a joke.
- Sunday roast at Mum's house.
- It's Wednesday.
Wednesday roast, then. Who gives a shit?
Family dinner: the
Wallaces and the Dumanis.
Ooh. No, thank you.
You can't sacrifice two
hours of your night for me?
For you and Billy, yes.
Not her.
No Mum, no me.
I don't negotiate with blackmailers.
What about the bump? You gonna deny
it the chance to meet Uncle Seany?
Learn the ways of the world?
Look, I'm working, Sean.
You're a tonic, Jacq.
I need you there.
Fine.
Just to be clear, this baby will
not be learning the ways of the world
from his Uncle Seany.
- What have we got?
- We've got low blood pressure
and he's been fitting
Anything else?
- Hey.
- What are you doing here?
Er
I just wanted to talk
about the other night.
- Yeah, well, nothing happened.
- Yeah, I know, but
I've got to go to work, Elliot.
It's two years.
It's two years since
my wife and child died.
Her name was
Naomi.
And his was Samuel.
They
There was a car accident.
- And
- It's all right. You don't have to.
- I want to.
- I know, but you
you can't.
I lost my mum.
It takes more than
just the passing of time
to put yourself back together.
They keep going, you know?
Those relationships.
It's almost like you get
a second chance in a way.
So what do you wanna talk about, then?
I don't know, erm
- happy things.
- Happy things, OK.
What about
balloons?
Balloons?!
Balloons and sunsets.
Ooh, sunsets, very cliché.
What about Paris?
Prefer Rome.
Too many churches.
I like your eyes.
Do you think this is a good idea?
No.
Do you?
Ah
Mum? I
- I missed the minibus.
- Oh.
- Hi, Elliot.
- Hey, bud. How are you doing?
- Can you walk me?
- Danny!
It's all right.
Yeah, I'll take him.
So why didn't you want
to go to school today?
There's football trials today.
- That's great, isn't it?
- Er, no.
- Why not?
- I'm shit at it.
Is there anyone in your class
that's not as good as you?
Mr Jenkins says Lewis
is "effing useless".
- Right.
- Only he didn't say "effing".
Right, OK, I've got it.
Every time Lewis gets the
ball, you snatch it off him,
make him look like an absolute mug.
You take it off him and take
him out every chance you get.
- Got it?
- Got it.
If I get into the team,
will you come and watch us?
Well, let's ask your mum
first, see what she says.
- All right?
- All right, Elliot.
Have a good day.
Bye, Dad!
Love you!
He had his problems with authority,
but he's a good lad. Good soldier.
- Dad?
- Stuck by his mates.
Hope you're not boring Sally
with war stories again, are you?
Hello, Elliot. How are you?
Good to see you've recovered.
I didn't know you were coming over.
Well, it turns out we
have friends in common.
Your father used to work
for the Williams brothers.
- Me and Elliot moved around a lot.
- That's right.
As you said, Charlie.
And you don't share the same surname
because Elliot here is a bastard
and he took his mum's
instead. Is that right?
Yeah.
You know, I had the
pleasure and privilege
of seeing your father in the ring.
He had quite a punch on him. A good one.
But he was better at losing, though.
Anyway
Thanks for the conversation, Charlie.
If you will excuse us, I just
need to have a word with your son.
Stay here.
I don't kill kids.
I took Cole to that flat.
If anything had happened to
them, it would've been on ME.
No-one asked you to take
matters into your own hands.
You do as you're told.
- Sean told me
- Sean nothing.
You're my concern now.
There's a jeweller's we look after.
Some crew were stupid
enough to knock it over.
Mark will take you where you need to go
and tell you what you need to do.
We don't want your conscience, Elliot.
We need to know you're on side,
and I'm not convinced you are.
You do what Mark says, to
whomever he says to do it.
You understand?
And I will pay your father another visit
if I don't like what
he has to report back.
Let's go.
Let's see what you're made of, shall we?
Lads tend to go one way or the
other after a tour of Afghan.
Buck the system or go further in.
Mrs Wallace,
it's so lovely to see you here again.
It's been some time.
Tell me about Floriana.
I don't recall a
My dead husband's mistress.
She was quiet.
In her 20s. Eastern European, I think.
Pot of tea, please.
Hey.
Good thing I like a challenge.
These are his movements since Finn died.
He's been a very busy boy.
Mum
Mum
I miss him too.
That's the yacht he
bought for his mistress.
Even named it after her.
She must have been pretty special.
- Stop it!
- Sean, listen
No, no, no, Mum. Not tonight.
- Sean
- No, Mum!
Pick out a nice dress. We're going
to have some fun this evening.
We're celebrating who we are,
what we have.
I know how I've been running things
isn't exactly how Uncle Ed would want,
but if I involve him more,
maybe he can see it through my eyes.
It's OK.
We just need to keep the family close,
and everything will work out fine, Mum.
Ah!
Barkley!
Still doping these pigeons?
Performance enhancing.
Very fine margins in racing these days.
Which one of your crews did it?
Did what?
Jeweller's in Royal Arcade.
Nothing to do with me, I swear.
Nothing to do with me.
Elliot.
Fuck him up.
You gonna hurt me?
Let me tell you something, son.
They ain't got no new pain
you could inflict on this body.
What are you doing? Wait, man.
Hold on!
- Fuck me!
- What the fuck!
How about a heads-up next time?
Now, you were asked a question.
Fuck you.
Sure.
Wait, man, wait, wait!
- Heads up, Kev!
- Wait! Wait! Hold on.
Wait. Wait.
Fucking pigeons!
Take us to your nephew if you
want to fucking breathe again.
Not here.
No-one sits here tonight.
Of course, Mr Wallace.
- I shouldn't have said anything.
- It doesn't matter.
You look great.
- Wine?
- Lovely.
Red, please.
Shazza!
Danny boy!
- Whoa!
- Hey!
- Granny Marian!
- Oooh!
Marian, how are you?
- Yes, darling. Never better.
- Good.
I'm gonna put this over there.
- There you go, Mum.
- Thank you.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- Nice to see you.
- Nice to see you too.
Yeah, so Dad and Alex said
they're gonna be a little late.
They've got some event,
but didn't say what.
- Really? Where?
- I don't know, but they told me to tell you
- to lay off their Yorkshire puds.
- We're having Italian.
Ooh, so pizza, then?
- You want wine?
- Yes, please.
- Billy.
- Hey, come through.
- There you are.
- Thank you.
- Hello.
- Hi.
Mwah.
Dad would have loved this.
Cheers.
Alexander
Ed
very, very glad you could make it.
- Hello, Jevan.
- Jevan.
After you.
Let me introduce you to Natalie.
Mr Dumani
I enjoyed your interview in the FT.
There are lots of people
here excited to meet you.
Great.
- Yeah, thanks, Natalie.
- Thank you.
Walk with me.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
Ed.
Come. Let me show you the grounds.
Who are these people?
Oh.
These are your new friends, Ed.
They're representatives of
some of the wealthiest and
most powerful people on earth.
And they're all here to meet your son.
The thing is, as long as
their money can't be traced,
they're untouchable.
And of course London is where they
come to make their sins disappear.
A multitude, I don't doubt.
Alex had found a way of doing
it with incredible returns.
Well, Sean is in charge now.
We've noticed.
But it's your son who needs to
finish what he's started with Finn.
There's people relying on him, Ed.
Many people.
Floriana!
Please leave a message after the tone.
Elliot.
Floriana was last seen
getting into a taxi the
day Finn Wallace was shot.
We need to know who it's licensed
to and find out who the driver is.
Here's your food.
Floriana.
I don't want any.
You have to eat.
For the baby.
I need a fork.
Leif. Your dinner is getting cold.
- Leif!
- Coming, Mother.
Yeah, I understand
that, I understand that.
All I'm saying is just have a look.
- No-one's touching it.
- Fuck!
- Call your Manchester guy.
- Word's spread. He said no.
- Look, we drop the price.
- We fucking dump it.
You what?
I have kids.
She's right, let's get
the fuck out of here.
Uncle.
Tell me some good news.
Raheem
No-one move! Ah-ah-ah
Back off. Way off.
You must be Barkley's idiot nephew.
Right. Line up.
Look, we're really sorry.
It's all there, just take it.
Drop to your knees.
NOW!
Right, Elliot. Remember what Ed said.
You do as I say when I say it.
Is there a problem?
No.
Good. 'Cos it's you and
your dad on the line.
So get ready, champ.
Let's see if you're any
better than your old man.
- Wait, wait, wait!
- Stop! Stop!
Arms by your side, good lad.
You're a fucking punchbag now.
Ding ding. Round one.
Leave him alone!
Just take the jewellery!
Fuck me, put some weight
behind it, would ya?
Go down. Go down!
Ooh, there we go.
There he is, look.
Right, let's do this properly, shall we?
Get off me, man! Please. Get off!
- Stop!
- Knee.
Stop!
Don't you Don't! Don't!
Would you rather me go for another
cup of tea with your old man?
Get off! Please!
Please. Please, don't.
- I beg you, I'm begging you, please.
- Think of your dad, Elliot.
Stop!
Please, please, please.
No, no, no! No
Don't do it.
If not
Come on Come on!
Argh! Aargh! Aarghh!
Argghh
Two rounds to go.
I er
I don't think we should
tell Sean about tonight.
Agreed.
You lost your appetite?
Too much wine.
They do say half a glass doesn't hurt.
It's for Shannon.
But thanks for the motherly advice.
You don't have to do
this alone, Jacqueline.
- I would love to help.
- I'm not alone.
I have friends and support.
My child might have a
chance at not turning out
a heroin addict or a thug.
You really do blame me
for everything, don't you?
- You were there.
- Cheers.
Bill
Your father taught them
how to survive in this life.
That was a choice.
Is this honestly what
you wanted for your sons?
This is who we are.
NOT me.
Yes, you.
You are who you are
because I shielded you from your father.
I made a promise with myself
to bring up a daughter so good
that she would turn her
back on her own family.
I just never thought
it would hurt so much.
Thank you.
Luan. It's about time we spoke.
Sean, listen carefully.
It appears Ed has not spoken to you
about the deal I made with your father.
Come to my office, and we can discuss.
Grahams.
Call everyone in.
- Can I offer you a drink?
- No, just get out of my way.
We've learnt our lesson.
Please just leave her alone.
- Ding, ding, round three.
- No, no, no, please.
Actually, let's take
the hammer away, yeah.
Break her arm.
No, don't do this.
It's hers or your dad's, Elliot.
Yeah.
Get the fuck away from her!
Go on, go on, break mine! Break mine!
Go on. Break it.
- Go on.
- His first. Hers second.
No.
I won't do it.
Call in from the boss. We've got to go.
Right now.
Mark, he sounded pissed off.
Follow me.
I fucking knew it the
moment I laid eyes on you.
Mark, what the fuck?
There's more than just a
fucking squaddie in there.
You're a fucking cop, aren't you?
What the fuck are you talking about?
Move. Let's see what Sean makes of you.
Hands out.
Sit tight, dickhead.
What about the old man?
Fuck him.
What took you so long?
- Elliot. He's
- Thank you for coming
Sean.
Don't thank me yet.
You may regret the invite.
Ah!
You pulled me away
from my family dinner.
So tell me.
What did you do for my father?
Your father had me kill
a lot of people.
And now you
owe me a lot of money.
Finn had a plan.
He
Sean
Sean, get down!
Jesus Christ!
Sean, get down!
Ow!
I saw him!
Sean, get down!
Sean, stay down!
Oh! Oh
Fuck, fuck, fuck!
You're all right. It's not yours.
Wait!
This way. This way, man!
Go, go, now go!
Yeah, I did.
Get up! Come on!
Get him up!
Who the fuck are you?
Let's get to that car!
Go!
Move! Move!
Fucking drive!
Come on, it's OK.
Do a left up here, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Come on, that's it, stay
with us, stay with us.
Just straight down, under the bridge.
Come on, that's it, stay with us.
Come on, faster!
Do a right, after the shop.
Elliot, Elliot, come on,
wake up, stay with me.
Hurry up!
Is it a boy baby or a girl one?
It's a girl.
Open the front door!
- Clear the table!
- Jesus, Sean, for God's sake!
Oh, my God, get in!
- Sean, what the hell has happened to you?
- Oh, my God
- Sean!
- It's OK, Mum. It's not my blood!
It's OK.
Help, help!
What happened?
Just get outside, man the front door.
Shh!
All right, all right,
let me have a look.
- Ow!
- It's all right
- Jacq?
- OK, OK, OK
I need towels, towels.
Towels, Mum.
No What?
Mum! Towels!
- Towels, Mum!
- Ah! Got some.
Jacqueline, here.
Stay with me, yeah? Just stay with me.
Hold him.
Hold his head!
Stay still.
All right
I'm going to need a knife
or some kind of pliers.
Sean, hold him.
Sean, come!
Give him something to bite down on.
Open your mouth.
Argh! Argh! Aargh!
Don't you dare leave me!
Shannon, hold them steady!
All right
Have the towels ready.
It's OK.
OK, Elliot, I've got it.
That's it.
Put pressure on it. The towels, Sean!
It's OK, that's it. That's it.
- Elliot
- Oh, my God!
No, no!
No, no, no, no
Samuel! Samuel!
Dad?
Danny
Daddy!
Look at me. Look at me, darling.
There's a good boy. Come on.
Let's go into the other
room. There's a good boy.
Come on, darling, let's go in here.
Oh, my God.
Er no, no, no,
look at me, look at me.
Come on
Oh No, no, let's go Er
- No, no, no, don't.
- Sorry, Mum.
Here we go.
Oh, my God! Billy.
Oh, Jesus, fuck!
Erm, upstairs. Let's go upstairs.
It's all right.
Elliot, stay with me. Come on.
Come on, Elliot.
Elliot, Elliot, Elliot, listen to me.
Elliot, stay with me.
Who's doing this to us, Ed?
We will fix this.
