Gangs of London (2020) s01e06 Episode Script

They're representatives
of some of the wealthiest
and most powerful people on earth,
and they're all here to meet your son.
- I don't think we should tell Sean about tonight.
- Agreed.
- I want you to take this man's life.
- What did he do?
He made a bargain. That's it.
- I wanted to help!
- If you want to help, stay away from this.
My money will be washed through
the Wallace organisation.
Sean, get down!
Don't!
We will fix this.
Fuck!
It was you!
Come on, Ed. This
doesn't end by killing me.
Your son's life, huh?
You need to think about it.
Making a cake?
Making a cake.
Doing well, Billy.
I need to get out of
this house, it's not home.
Soon.
It's not working, you know
I'm not getting any answers.
Morning.
I'm baking a cake.
Well, you can't stay here all morning.
I'm an injured man!
You think I'm going to
wait on you hand and foot?
Sounds good to me.
Stop!
So did I break you, then?
- No!
- What?
Just don't ask me to move.
What are you thinking about?
- Danny.
- Yeah?
If he got shot.
We will find out who's doing this.
As for Danny, he'll be fine.
- He's tough.
- Yeah.
He's watching Marcus
And His Magical Boots.
Yeah, that's that.
Samuel used to watch it.
I love that you can
talk about him with me.
Me too.
- Shit!
- Danny?
Danny?
Danny? Danny!
You all right, yeah?
Good boy.
Fucking hell!
It's fine, it's fine!
Are you OK, kid? You sure, yeah?
You're supposed to be watching the
house, not on your fucking phone!
Fucking do your job!
Excellent.
Yes, very good.
- When does our money come in?
- Tomorrow,
once Alex Dumani has overseen
the transfer of funds.
Zeus, come.
Ed? Please thank Sean for
honouring his father's deal,
particularly in such confusing times.
Well, we can at least be
certain you didn't attack him.
This is everything I've
been able to find out
from my Albanian contacts.
The family that Finn wanted to
to get rid of made their
money in oil and storage.
You did this favour for
Finn, we washed your money,
or should I say, Mosi's money?
What, you thought we wouldn't find out?
You're building a tower for him.
This is your free pass, Luan.
You get to build one
tower in this city: one.
But do not think you
get to go against us.
And careful, Mosi as a business partner,
he's a dangerous man to
be making promises to.
Hi.
I told Luan that Alexander
would oversee the transfer.
Alex will have this done by tonight.
Think he's telling the truth
about the family he killed?
Yes.
OK. Then tell Alex
to use the information
that Luan is going to supply
to find out the connection
my dad had with this
family, we need that.
- Are you three OK?
- We're good.
It's best that everyone stays away.
Whoever attacked us won't stay away.
I know. I'll speak to you soon.
Take care, son.
We will get through this.
Dad's Big Bumper Book
Of Rules About Killing.
You look at that and you still just
see a dead innocent kid, don't you?
Billy's right: this isn't working.
What else do you suggest?
We had a killer in our
house, and I want to know why.
You're the head of the family now,
Sean. Keep doing what it takes.
Elliot.
Where the fuck have you been?
I have checked every
hospital in the city,
praying I am not going
to find a dead UC.
- You tell me next time.
- I'm sorry.
I've been holed up with Shannon Dumani.
They got me the best doctors, I'm good.
You need a full medical
and a full psych.
I can't, there's no
time. Sean summoned me.
He's spent the week hiding out with
his mum and Billy in a safe house,
just the three of them.
Immediate family only.
He doesn't know who tried
to kill him or who to trust,
but he trusts me, I
took a bullet for him.
A hired killer posing as a
waitress to get into their home
this isn't some ordinary gang takeover.
If the Wallaces want to survive,
they've got to figure it out,
and I'll be next to Sean when they do.
I'll get you the names
and the connections.
This could be about so much more
than just taking down the Wallaces.
Whoever did this, they'll do it again.
I wanted to talk this
through before going to Sean.
Sure.
I don't think it was a coincidence
Sean was attacked when we were
meeting Jevan and those investors.
- We need to go to Jevan.
- No.
- Why not?
- Pointing fingers at random strangers will set Sean off.
It's not random.
I'll go to Jevan on my own.
No.
What are you not telling me?
The business that you helped Finn build,
the people that invested in it,
they want you to keep running it.
We're agreed on that, Sean included.
They don't want Sean anywhere
near it, they want him gone
he's too noisy and unpredictable.
So, what, they tried to
kill him, our investors?
They killed Finn.
They killed him because
he was trying to leave.
How how long have you known?
After Sean was attacked, I
got the truth out of Jevan.
- A week?
- I was thinking things through,
keeping us safe, especially you.
You do know Sean's going crazy,
not knowing who attacked him
Albanians, Pakistanis,
Greeks, Kurds, Chinese?
- Telling him now will start a war we can't win.
- I have to tell him.
- We don't know who we're dealing with.
- I've met them.
- You've met faces who work for them.
- You keep everything to yourself.
Alex, I am trying to keep us all alive.
- Sean deserves to know.
- Listen!
Really, what are you going to do?
You are going to tell me
who you work for.
- Hey.
- How's it going?
Hey!
Yeah!
- You good?
- Yeah, mm-hm.
- Come in.
- OK.
- Please.
- Yeah, cheers.
- Whose place is this?
- A guy I see sometimes
- happily married type.
- Mm.
Suits me though, I like the boundaries.
Come on, come on.
He's out of the country
for a few months,
and we needed a place to hide, so
We've got a few boltholes
like this round the city,
for when the wind changes. Come in.
Plastic?
- You got rats?
- Huh, rats?
Yeah, rats. Look!
- Whoa! I didn't take you for a baker.
- I need some kind of vice.
Do you want one, have you
had lunch, have you eaten?
No. Erm, looks lovely though.
That's for Baxter.
Who's Baxter?
Right!
Whose dog is that?
The waitress who shot at
Sean. We found him in the van.
He hasn't tried to kill
us yet, so, you know.
- You find anything else in the van?
- Nothing, not even a fingerprint.
- You better?
- Yeah, thank you, Mrs Wallace.
- Thanks for coming.
- My pleasure.
- Good to see you.
- You too. Good?
Yeah. Let's get a plate for Elliot.
- You're not vegan, are you?
- Am I fuck!
- Thank God for that.
- I'll have anything.
Hey. It's really nice to
see you at the table, Elliot,
instead of on it.
Yeah, it feels good too.
- This is lovely, mate, thank you.
- Mm. Some wine?
Yeah, I'll have a little top-up.
Thank you.
Taking a bullet for me, why'd you do it?
If you're dead, I'm out of a job.
Or there's part of you
that doesn't want to live.
I can't work you out.
What do you want from me?
Protection. For Shannon
and Danny, more protection.
- That's it?
- Mm.
Done.
Shannon's been looking after you, yeah?
Who do you think is doing this?
Doesn't point to any
of the gangs we know.
Sean, they got in your house.
You close to your dad, Elliot?
Mine would push and push,
show me how to go further,
make me go further, do things
I didn't think I could do.
You know what? And I mean
this with the utmost respect
your dad sounds
like a bit of a cunt.
And that waitress, she was clever.
Your mum said there wasn't
a fingerprint in the van.
Except dogs have got to be microchipped,
linking them to their owners.
Now, you got me some good
doctors. You know any good vets?
No, look I'm sorry, I can't.
Look, I just can't, OK?
Alexander?
He won't leave a message,
keeps saying he wants to
talk to Sean face to face.
Elliot is the exception.
No-one else can know where
we are, not even the Dumanis.
I know, I get it!
She's military.
Danish Special Forces.
Jaeger Corps.
Let's change that dressing.
The baby is due soon.
What do you want?
The money.
It's tomorrow.
Yes?
I've told you
you don't get to see a penny
until I know my baby is safe.
She has to live.
Leif!
She has to live.
I'll go upstairs, you take the basement.
Felix.
Shit!
Fuck.
- Fuck!
- Shit!
I loved my husband.
And I know he's a lying, fucking cunt,
and if he was here now, I'd
rip his fucking eyes out,
but he's not, and you are.
Complete surveillance on both families.
Who the fuck are these people?
Baxter!
Mum, I'm back!
Mum?
- Hello?
- Hey. How're you doing?
- Who are you, where's my mum?
- Don't worry about that.
We're police officers. Your
mum has been reported missing.
- What's happened to her?
- We don't know, that's why we're here.
You must be Felix, right?
Well, I'm Elliot.
Let me help you with your
bag, that looks really heavy.
- You been on a trip?
- I go to boarding school.
Oh, that's nice. And you have
a little sister, don't you?
She's coming back today. Why,
am I going to go with you?
No.
Have you got somebody you can call?
- Yeah.
- Good, good.
Just come with me a second.
You call that person, your
dad or your aunt, whatever.
I'm going back to Mum and Billy's.
I'll take you to Shannon's.
I should stay with you.
No, you shouldn't.
What happened to the body,
the waitress, that boy's mum?
Wherever they dumped her,
they're never going to find her.
How old do you think
he was, like, 11, 12?
- She tried to kill me.
- Yeah, I know, but
Get in the car DCI Finch.
No, no, no relax.
Sean just sent some more men round.
Hey.
- Keep this warm for us, I'll be in in a second, yeah?
- Yeah.
So, what, are you official now?
And he gave me to you.
We good?
Yeah.
Yeah, we're good.
Whatever it takes.
Mum?
Beautiful children.
What
Mum
No, no, no.
No, please!
Who is after us?
Thank you.
What is this place?
How long have you been
watching my family?
You obviously don't fucking listen.
The next one.
Give me the name of who you work for.
You have ten fucking fingernails,
I'll pull every fucking one of
them out until you give me a name.
If you don't want your fingernails,
what about your children,
do they want them?
- Give me the name of who you work for.
- Alex!
- Sean!
- Alex!
SEAN!
Alex, wait!
And I thought I'd killed her.
We need to find out who we're fighting.
What have you got to tell
me that's so important?
Nothing.
Nothing. I just wanted
to make sure you were OK.
- I didn't want
- Just shut up!
Alex?
Alex!
You gave us away
for that?
Leave off, will you? Alex is family.
And I can't listen to that
shit any longer, I need this.
That woman knew the rules when
she came after this family.
What rules have you got down there?
Mum knows that woman
isn't going to talk.
Fucking look at yourself!
How fucking dare you?
Look at me? Look at you,
look at what you're doing!
You're a killer too.
Yeah, but I did that for you, didn't I?
Never did tell you about that, did I,
Dad's big lesson with the bucket?
The execution of a criminal
who broke the rules, right?
Wrong. Ask Mum what that man really did.
Go on.
Go down there and ask her.
Alexander.
Please, come sit.
We're very happy to have you
on board and running the ship.
Finally we can move the
Wallace business forward.
Alex?
Thank you for seeing sense.
Give me a name.
Give me a name, you
bitch, don't do this.
- Give me a fucking name!
- Stop, stop, stop!
Stop!
You've hurt us, now we've hurt you
but this can end right now.
Tell us why you came to kill me,
why you killed my father.
Tell us that, then I will let you go
and I will let
your kids have a mother.
I met your son Felix today.
Nice boy.
I could have brought him here
but he's not done anything to
us and he didn't choose his parents.
Talk to me
and I'll send you back to them.
You know I'm telling the truth.
Your mother, she would never allow that.
My mother is not in charge.
If you don't send someone
for her children, I will.
Did you not hear me?
We're not killing children!
Why not? She tried to kill mine!
- You never protected us before.
- What the fuck does that mean?
Jacqui's always saying it. I
always defended you, but it's true.
You never protected us from Dad.
Oh!
The first man Dad wanted me to kill,
his hands-on tutorial,
you didn't stop that.
Billy just let me in on a
little secret you kept from me.
I want to hear it from you.
Mum
who was he?
He was a no-one in a bar.
And you told Dad. You
knew what he would do.
I didn't know he'd
asked you to kill him.
You always act like Dad was
the one driving everything,
that you could never stop him,
and the truth is, you
want this life, don't you?
Fuck anyone who gets in your
way: no rules, no bargains,
they're just fucking words,
words that you and Dad hid behind
to make what you do seem
noble.
Everything I do is to protect
this family, everything.
Well, stop.
We don't need you any more.
Don't let them hurt my children, please.
Kill me if you must
but please leave my Sofia and Felix.
Please?
Ed and Alex Dumani.
My employers told me
to make sure that
that the hit had to take place
when they were out of the house.
Don't make a fucking sound.
If you scream, I'll fucking cut you.
OK, OK, there's the door.
Go, go, go!
It's locked, it's locked, it's locked.
Where's the key, where's the key?
The kitchen.
Get the key.
Give me the gun.
Put it on the counter, slide it.
They were told to hit us when
Ed and Alex weren't there.
What do you mean?
What does he mean?
I swear, I'll cut one son
and put a bullet in the other.
Don't you fucking move.
Put the gun down, Mum.
Put the gun down.
I'm fine.
- I'm fine, I'm fine.
- Jesus!
It's OK.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
- Are you OK?
- I'm fine, I'm fine.
Oi!
The night at the dinner,
you and Ed didn't show.
- What are you not telling me about the shooting?
- Nothing!
I told you, we were running late
meeting some possible
investors. What is this?
What, what is it?
It's Luan's money.
I was waiting for the
transfer to go through, but
the account has
just emptied, it's weird.
It looks like a transfer, but
it can't be, it must be a glitch.
- Either that or
- Or what?
someone's just stolen Luan's money.
That's half a billion.
He'll think it was us.
Who would want to start
a war between us and Luan?
Enough.
Enough!
