Gangs of London (2020) s02e01 Episode Script

1
Hakim, we'll need
to distribute the guns tomorrow,
and guard them for now.
Marco, Medhi, you're staying.
Basem will call you first thing.
I'll stay too. Not a problem.
Get the fuck out of here.
Do it like Uncle Basem. Go on.
Let's go.
Cheers.
Whoa!
The fuck are you doing?
Check this.
You putting it back together?
No? Don't think so
Wow, wow, wow.
Stay seated.
Okay.
I see you Algerians are busy
so this will take only a few minutes.
One of you can walk away. Okay?
Off, you can go.
Who sold you this?
No? Okay.
Swallow, please.
Ah.
Ah
Ah.
Swallow. Yes?
Again, please.
Mm.
Just one more.
Yes
It's okay. It's okay.
Ask him if he knows
who sold you the guns.
No answer, you shoot.
You go free. I promise.
We don't know anything
I swear we don't!
So shoot. Three
- We don't know anything!
- Two
One
Look, I'm here to make the rules now
and secrets are a bad thing.
A really very, very bad thing.
Go tell Uncle Basem.
Tell him Koba says so. Mm?
Go.
Go Go!
This is my city.
This is my city.
This is my city.
This is my city. I was born
on these streets. They're inside me.
I've seen them change
from year to year
and I know this city's heartbeat
because it's here.
I feel it.
Your startup is looking
for 100 million.
My competitors
will offer you the moon.
Some will throw in a few stars
but I'm the only one
that can join this to this.
Plus a buy-in of 200 million.
Thank you for your trust.
Thank you.
2 minutes.
Help yourselves to drinks, yeah?
I'm early.
Abdullah Shafak, one of my
clients, was killed in Turkey last night.
Were you aware?
The 200 million you laundered
for Shafak wasn't his to give,
nor was it yours to invest elsewhere.
Our investors would like it back.
Does it give you any trouble?
Nothing I can't handle.
You're worried your new friends
will see who they're dealing with.
They're dealing with Dumani Finances.
Clean funds all the way.
- Ignorance is bliss.
- And I don't like surprises,
so next time something like this needs
to happen, how about you tell me?
Reasonable.
Remember, though,
everyone thought
that the Wallaces would
take you down with them.
I never doubted you.
I remember everything.
Let me know
when you've transferred the funds.
Alex
Alex Help me.
Oh, excuse me.
Can you fix this, Ed?
It's a bit late for that,
don't you think?
Can you fix it?
I appreciate your presence here
so that we can sort out
this unnecessary mess.
Who chose this shithole?
I think you all know
his name by now.
Koba.
Don't forget
why he was invited to London.
If the bodies were not
piling up on the streets,
if you would have listened
to the warnings,
there would be no need for Koba.
I've given them my word.
The Investors asked for order
and order is what I'm giving them.
I expect you all
to fall in line.
Would you mind standing, please?
Some of you may know Mr Soudani.
You haven't seen
them round this table
but today he's here to help.
Who sold you this?
It was a blind deal.
Ooh! Exciting.
Tell me about that.
Er No names, no faces.
And er payment was off-shore.
Good. Very good.
Exactly what I would do,
if I wanted to insult Mr Afridi.
If I wanted to make a fool of me.
That's what I would do.
Boss here said this.
Nobody sells guns
in this city except me.
Which bit of that was fuzzy?
Which bit didn't add up?
You owe a debt to myself,
to Mr Afridi. Yes?
But that's for later.
Business has rules.
I see they are followed.
Our friend here made a mistake.
He knows that.
But whoever sold these guns
doesn't want rules.
They think they are special.
Shall I tell you who else
thought they were special?
Finn Wallace.
His lunatic son.
Do they sit with us now?
Ed Dumani knows
what I'm talking about.
Did he make mistakes back then?
Maybe so.
But he understands
things had to change.
There's a future for you,
right, Edward?
And your son, Alex.
Somebody here
wants to start a war.
One they cannot win.
I gave Mr Afridi my word.
I will find you.
And you will make amends.
He doesn't know
the first thing about this city.
Why do you think I chose him?
No affiliations.
- He's a clean skin.
- He's a wind-up.
Help me find out
who's behind the guns.
These people still listen
to Ed Dumani don't they?
Such a tragedy.
His family is waiting.
Blessings be upon you.
Marco was a good boy.
Faz, help me get this down
Faz?
They're saying it's a car accident?
Wasn't that, was it?
Faz.
What's going on? Huh? What?
- You knew, innit?
- What you talking about?
You knew Koba was coming.
That's why you didn't want me there.
All right. Let's go and tell
Marco's little daughters what happened.
That big man Faz blew Marco's fucking
brains out to save his own skin.
Look at me.
Basem doesn't know what day it is.
He's got us
in the wrong fucking sight.
Now we got to cover
for that Albanian prick.
We just arrived.
Yeah, the removal guys are here too.
Okay, come tonight.
We'd love to see you.
No problem, no.
No socks on the shiny stairs.
We just arrived.
From Saranda.
They're coming over this afternoon.
But we said tomorrow, right?
What, so I say don't come?
She's too excited.
Zamir's bringing his guitar.
My sweetheart.
My sister-in-law made that.
Thank you.
Nice place.
Thank you.
Basem did a fantastic cover-up job.
What are you talking about?
Luan, I know you sold him those guns.
- And who am I talking to?
- I'm here to help you.
Help me or yourself?
You choose sides so fast.
That kind of weaponry
is unprecedented.
My partners need
to defend themselves.
I need to defend myself.
So you're plotting a war?
I know how volatile things are right now
but that's not good for anyone's business.
Heroin is my business now.
I've always used my own suppliers.
Trusted, productive people
from back home.
Now Koba wants me to buy from Asif.
Only him.
Do you know why?
So he can control me.
I won't do it.
Because next time
he's gonna come around,
it's not my supply he'll want.
It's my profit.
And he already got his boot
on my neck.
This is not how we do business
in this city.
What if I offer you reassurances?
From Koba?
- Bullshit.
- From the Investors.
I'm not gonna lay down
and beg like the others.
Then you're going to have
to give something in return, Luan.
Who supplied those guns?
First things first.
Talk to the Investors.
I need guarantees.
I'm glad you're listening.
Thinking about all this.
All this is why I fight.
What's going on Elliot?
You were told to hit Mr Shafak
on arrival in his car.
You were late. You were drunk.
You drew undue attention to us.
We plan these things.
You follow the plan.
Or there are consequences.
We own you
and your father, Elliot.
Do you have a problem with that?
No.
Good.
The fee has been released
to the usual accounts.
Wait one second
Did you receive the itinerary?
Been a while, hasn't it?
I've let our contacts know
you'll be arriving.
The order of things has shifted
since you were last there.
Elliot I know when
you left it was difficult
but don't get distracted by the past.
Signature there.
Don't tell my family anything.
Understood?
Cop killer!
Espresso, please.
So Luan is distributing the guns.
I wish I could say I was surprised.
It's a play for leverage.
He needs peace to run his business.
He wants to maintain his own supply.
He doesn't want to buy from you.
- It's a good price.
- For now.
But Luan's not stupid.
He has a major stake
in this town now.
Manpower. Allies.
He's not to be underestimated.
What would he settle for?
A guarantee from the Investors.
A degree of independence
in return for his loyalty.
And all this nonsense
with guns stops?
And he will tell us
who supplied them.
He will. Trust me.
Of course.
I'll instruct Koba to hold off for now.
But until he gives us his supplier,
Luan is on thin ice.
Thank you for looking into this, Ed.
You know, Finn Wallace
was an old fool.
But he was smart
when he chose you.
no lust, no fear
No mind,
no greed, no suffering
Oh, fuck.
No knife, no words,
no lie, no cure
- Bye.
- Bye, Danny.
Here, I'll carry it.
How was football.?
- Mum?
- Hey. Hi!
Sorry. Excuse me?
Ms Dumani?
Yes?
Mr Dumani.
Your daughter, she's taken Danny.
Thank you, Jamya.
What should I do? She
just I'll take it from here.
Shannon's out.
I spoke to her lawyer.
The police messed up
evidence procedures.
Her case would have
fallen apart at trial.
That's the best news.
She told her lawyer
not to contact the family.
I told her I would get her out
once things had calmed down.
She killed a cop, Alex.
I don't have a magic wand.
She knew my hands were tied.
She told you she understood.
She told me she understood.
That's what we wanted to hear.
What?
She killed that cop to protect us.
Our lives carried on as usual.
Look She'll come home.
We should celebrate.
I did everything in my power.
- You did.
- What a day.
She's back.
We got her back.
This means we can be a family again.
- Uncle Alex.
- How you doing, big man? Hey!
Danny, um, I need to speak
to Uncle Alex. Take this for me.
Your lawyer told me you were here.
Oh, you paid her? That's nice.
I had to see you. I'm sorry.
You can beat me up if you like.
No, don't. Don't.
I'm not doing it like that.
- I'll do it however you like.
- I want to be with Danny.
So you can go back to your tower
and do whatever it is you do.
Work.
You and Dad decided it's a fuck sight
more important than my life.
- Look
- That was the deal you made.
You're right. We gave in.
The people I work for,
the Investors,
they didn't want a Dumani
walking free on a cop killing.
I'm bad for the brand.
I'm getting us out.
Out of all of this.
And I'm so close, Shannon.
Soon I'll have us out
of this whole fucking world. I promise.
No more laundering.
No more Investors.
I'll take care of all of us.
Everything I'm doing
I can make this right.
Better than right, I swear.
It's on me now.
I'll sort myself out.
If you do want to help
leave us alone.
I hear you're meeting
with the Investors tonight
about your start-up
financing scheme.
Do you really think that's wise?
Look, like I said before,
this model is completely compatible
with what I do for the Investors.
The more it thrives, the better partner
I can be for them and their business.
For how long?
Looking at the direction of your travel,
is your plan to escape
from them completely?
You need that 200 million
for your new business, don't you?
I'm told the Investor concerned
would like it passed over to him.
Don't make him wait.
I've made more money for them
than anyone in this city.
We were attacked today, Alex.
It's not a good time for negotiations.
Pretty sure I know how they think.
Maybe even better than you.
All due respect.
Forgive me.
You think clean money
means a clean soul?
What happened to Sean,
to your family it was just business.
Fuck you.
You've bitten the hand
that feeds you.
Don't be surprised
if it bites you back.
You should have let me
handle this.
Good luck with your meeting.
Hold off on the next delivery.
There is an issue on my end.
Everything is okay.
I'll share details later.
Please confirm no delivery.
I'll wait for a call.
Honey.
Hey.
Save me a slice, yeah?
Uh, I'm expecting guests
so send them up to the terrace.
Asif.
Ed
The Investors have made it clear.
Anyone who acts out of line
is to be dealt with.
Zero tolerance.
I'm sorry but my hands are tied,
Luan. What's wrong?
Who are we talking about?
Just put it down and we'll talk.
Sit.
You're working for them?
That's almost funny.
Fuck!
You killed Sean for them?
You fucking snake.
- I didn't have a choice.
- Poor Elliot.
You know, you're only here
because they wanted you here.
And now they don't.
Too much of a liability.
What the fuck are you waiting for?
Our bosses.
Years of incrimination.
Years of wrongdoing.
It's all there.
- Sean gave you this?
- Can't go to the police.
Courts. Media.
The Investors own it all.
But with you, this
this is how we get out.
You want to blackmail the Investors?
And you'll know how.
Better than anyone.
I can't do this by myself, Alex.
I've tried.
But you know who to contact.
Make a deal.
Think about it.
My father. Your family.
Both of us.
This will keep us safe,
all right?
Was there anything I could
have done to save Sean?
No.
No.
Open your laptop.
Look at these files.
Please, Alex.
They'll find me.
They'll kill my family.
I can't allow that to happen.
Go to Shannon. She needs you.
What?
Watch over my father.
No, Alex! Stop!
You can't beat them.
No! No! No Alex!
You have no new messages.
Zeus. What's up, my boy?
You want some cheese?
Come. Come.
Come.
Wanna pee?
Come. Get out.
Wake up, girls. Quick Papa?
What's happened?
- What's happening?
- Nothing.
- What's happening?
- Go inside.
- Something's wrong.
- Get the girls in first.
Go, babe, go.
Mummy loves you.
Tell me what's going on.
Quiet, take your sister.
What's happening?
- Nothing.
- Don't tell me it's nothing
- Listen to me.
- What's going on?
- What's the code to the safe?
- The code?
It's your birthday.
But tell me what's happen
Everything's okay.
Stay with the girls.
Luan
Luan!
Koba!
Too late
Mirlinda Mirlinda!
Where's Mum? Where's Mum?
This is Luan Dushaj.
I can't get to the phone right now.
Please leave a message
and I'll return your call. Thank you.
