Alex, cover your mouth!
- Let's go.
- Move, move, move, move!
Armed police!
Armed police! Get down!
Sean Wallace is dead.
I repeat, Sean Wallace
Here, help me.
Clear.
Get him in the van!
Clear.
Is he dead?
He's breathing. Drive.
Hurry.
Take the left.
Defibrillator.
Charging. Clear. Shock.
Okay, we have him.
He's in a bad way
Sutures in place. Entering now.
Where am I?
We would like your cooperation
concerning a group
you call the Investors.
You would be rewarded.
You work for them?
The opposite.
You're not the police.
A version of it.
Well, then fuck off.
Fuck you!
Get up!
Gangs of London
2nd season, episode 3
Tell me about last night.
The fish market.
One shooter. Male. Thirties.
Maybe professional?
Not very.
You saw his face, yes?
No?
- Perhaps you
- It was Billy Wallace.
Sean's brother.
Sean's brother?
- Can you explain?
- I don't fucking know.
You asked me to find a shooter,
and I did.
Where did you go after? Hm?
Where does Elliot go
after he helps kill Billy Wallace?
Breakfast.
Breakfast.
- Breakfast.
- Hm.
You know, toast.
Some herbal tea.
Mm. Mm. Mm.
I understand.
You're like
a secret fucking agent.
Who knows where you go
what you really see?
You see any more Wallaces
out there you let me know.
Hm? Or I'll think you don't like me.
Billy.
Take these.
Thanks.
Who were those shooters
last night?
You walked into something.
Yeah, no shit.
Have I said thanks?
I'm not losing you both, Billy.
- Yeah, Mum told me.
- Yeah
Were you following me?
No. Following someone else.
You were just lucky.
The guy at the fish market,
the hit, that was you?
What the fuck is going on, Sean?
In the car, you said one of the men
you came with went missing.
One of Mum's men.
Yeah. Darragh.
He went to Luan. I don't
I need to speak to Mum.
She in trouble?
She'll have some questions.
Your clothes are there.
Darragh and Killian are still missing.
Luan's gone silent.
- Koba's got to someone.
- And Billy?
- We had a deal, Marian.
- Lennie's on his way back.
- You said you could protect us.
- We're leaving.
Or you can just run off
to your yacht
and wait for them
to track you down.
Just make sure you leave money.
If I wanted, I would have done it
a long time ago.
Finn's money will always attract
attention. You know this.
I know what war is, Marian.
I lived through one.
If we hide now, we hit them hard next.
We don't back down.
Who the fuck
do you think you're talking to?
I saved your life, and in exchange
we promised each other
power and strength.
Do you remember
agreeing to that?
She won't have the life I had.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Roze. Roze.
Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
We all have plans for them.
Then they grow up,
punch you in the face.
Lennie's back. Get your things.
Anything from Billy?
I'll track every step he took.
I'll find him, I swear.
Billy?
No, Mum. It's me.
Who is this?
It's Sean, Mum.
It's Sean.
I can't explain now.
You need to listen to me.
Billy's safe.
And you need
to get out of there.
Koba's coming for you.
Mum? Mum?
Mum, are you there?
Speak to me, Mum.
Mum, can you hear me?
You're in danger!
Mum, you're in danger!
I have to get Roze!
Roze!
Roze's upstairs!
I have to get her!
Come on, quick. That's it.
Get up, that's it!
That's it, stay here. Stay here.
Stay there. Stay down.
- No!
- Roze.
Pah, pah, pah.
Pah, pah, pah, pah, pah.
Roze. Roze. Roze.
Roze!
Did you find her yet?
Not yet, still looking.
Roze, shh, shh.
Come on. Floriana, get up.
Get up, come on.
- We've got to get out of here.
- Oh, Roze.
Come on. Come on.
- Give her to me.
- Here.
Lennie? Lennie?
No, no. Run! I've got this.
- Go! Go!
- Run.
To the woods, out back.
Fuck you, Marian. Fuck you.
Are they with you yet?
Not yet.
I'm looking.
Call me when you have them.
I see them.
Guard!
You would like me to testify
before a British court
on everything I know
about the Investors.
You would have
the full protection of the state.
Your evidence
would be anonymous.
You'd be a ghost.
Afterwards, a new life.
With certain restrictions.
And you think that will remove
the Investors from London?
With what's in your head,
we'll hit them harder
than they've ever been hit.
Well, you're fucking stupid.
If you want them gone,
you have to take what they control.
Street by street.
Gang by gang. Tower by tower.
You'd have to destroy them
from the ground up.
You need a returning king.
You blew up your father's city.
Now you want to be him.
You're not as clever
as you think you are.
The people who wanted
Sean Wallace dead
you've only just
brushed up against them.
I've been on this for years.
The city's changed.
The Investors have a new player.
They won't see me coming.
Like you said, I'm a ghost.
I'll need people from my world.
A gang.
Where is she?
Impossible.
She's of high value to me.
A trading asset.
To sell to her enemies?
Politics.
You're not
the whole picture here.
Then no deal.
You trust her?
I said I need her.
Her military training.
Her people.
Come.
Follow me.
Go with Naza. Naza
I don't have clear memories.
I remember Lale, her people,
they pulled me
out of that hotel.
Then what?
They found someone
to put me back together.
Lale's people did all that?
Yeah.
Why?
I helped them, didn't I?
They repay their debts.
Listen to me.
Koba's got them by the neck now.
He takes a hefty cut
of their profits,
and whilst they package his product,
he watches like a hawk.
I need to get you
somewhere safer soon, Mum.
How long have you been here?
3 months.
It had to be this way.
All you had to do
was pick up the phone
and tell us
you were still breathing.
- It would have been a risk.
- I didn't even know you were alive.
It was easier without
his fuck-up family. He's got a point.
What have you
been doing exactly?
The towers.
The money. The gangs.
- I'm taking it all back.
- Did they fix your head right?
- I mean it.
- With a bunch of terrorists?
- Seriously?
- Others will join.
Once they realise
Koba's not the future, I am.
But you need to step back.
Koba's got inside your networks.
You don't know who to trust.
And if I'm to give shelter
to my father's girlfriend,
I need to know what you owe her.
She saved my life.
Then she's family.
Here. Use this instead.
Shh, shh.
He wants to be king, doesn't he?
He's got
his little rebel army here.
Where does that leave you?
Try and get some sleep.
Don't pretend
this isn't happening.
He'll come to you,
ask for all the money,
and that's when it's over.
- That's not gonna happen.
- No. Because I won't say yes.
Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
I'm Sean.
- Is everything all right here?
- I've known worse.
I bet.
May I?
Hello.
I was expecting to see Dad
looking back at me.
But no. Not the Wallace eyes.
Lucky break.
Roze. Shh, shh, shh.
What's going on?
Koba's men took Rojan.
What do they want?
Rojan was selling on the side.
Koba must have found out.
What choice do we have?
Koba takes most of our profits.
There's not enough to send home.
We agreed to be careful.
Careful?
What if Koba found
Marian Wallace here?
Our deal was with Sean Wallace.
- Not his family.
- I'll handle it.
People have been talking
since you came back.
Does she still know who she is?
This is a problem for us,
your mother being here.
We'll find somewhere
for my family.
My people can't continue
like this.
We'll hit Koba
when the time's right.
Patience is not the problem.
They need faith that you can
deliver what you promised.
You're under pressure.
I understand.
They need faith in you.
Why did you come back for me?
You know too much.
I was protecting myself.
That's good to know.
If you want what you claim,
you must be prepared
to do everything
without fear, without care.
This is what it asks of you.
The Georgians are coming.
They've got Rojan.
Oh, shit.
You need to hide. Come on.
Koba's men are here.
- Quick.
- What's going on?
- Quick. Come on, come on.
- Mum, go.
Go, go, go, go, go.
Quick.
Merwan
- How's life?
- Good.
Happy wife, happy life, eh?
- I have a question.
- Mm.
Are you happy
with the quality of the product?
- Are the customers happy?
- Yes.
The hours your employees
are required to work,
we negotiated that, yes?
We asked for 10 hours a day.
That is acceptable?
Stay here.
The hourly rate,
is that a problem? No?
No.
So there's no general big problem
between us, correct?
- No.
- No.
Oh, my love. No, no!
So this thief
he's a small problem,
nothing more.
Why?
You never asked him to steal
because you are not unhappy, huh?
He's your brother, yes?
I mean, real brother?
The same mother?
You all call each other
brother, sister.
- I'm just checking.
- He's my brother.
- Hey
- No.
I think your brother
is lying to me.
No.
Oh! You want to take his place.
No. No, no
Okay!
Give your hand.
No. No, no.
No, Tamaz. No.
No!
Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
Please tell your workers,
the shift is now 12 hours.
Eh.
We deliver more,
you package more.
Win, win.
Let's go.
How's it progressing
with the Kurds?
Koba's becoming
a bigger problem for us.
I've got it under control.
And your father's girlfriend
working with your mother?
I said I'm handling it.
The window to retaliate
is closing, Sean.
Sorry.
Do you want me to?
Shh.
Do you want her to be like us?
You think I shouldn't be here?
You can do what you like.
My father was a gambler.
He ran bets for the mafia.
He didn't want to,
but you don't say no.
Then he said no.
They shot him in the head
in our kitchen.
My little brother too.
So he wouldn't grow up
and take vengeance.
I know what this world is.
Roze.
How well do you know my mother?
Maybe I know
some things you don't.
Then you'll know that
she'll screw you over in the end.
Lale, the elders have called a meeting.
We need to discuss the Wallaces.
Sean.
After you.
I'm told you're unhappy.
How can I make you happy?
The actions of your mother,
Luan, this does not help us.
Koba smells rebellion,
so he pushes us.
There is too little profit
to send home.
We're not the same
as others in this city, yeah?
Those who want power
for its own sake.
My people want freedom
in our homelands.
If our business here fails,
as it fails now,
for us there are other cities,
other ways
to continue the struggle.
Your business won't fail.
When Koba's gone,
you'll have a place in this city.
I promised you that.
Too slow.
I said I'd hit anyone
who sides with Koba.
That's not enough now.
It's time to escalate.
We'd like
to share your confidence.
Yeah, we need each other.
But you need us more.
Without us, you're alone.
I'll give you money
to send home.
I'll give you weapons
for the fight ahead.
These things are yours to give?
Your mother
has her own ambitions, no?
Like I said, you have my word.
Then let us see.
I remember this.
Street grunt, isn't it?
Hands up.
Front seat. Come on.
Thought I'd be
higher up your kill list.
Funny. I was told
you were off limits.
Joseph Singer.
He was very insistent.
Turns out you and I
are on the same side. For now.
I do not give a fuck
about you or Singer.
But Koba would. Especially
as you've been killing his new friends.
See this here?
The surgeon said
a hair either way and, pff
Miracle, really.
Then I thought,
did he mean to do it?
That's very Elliot.
Anything for a clean conscience.
Say thank you.
You're such a good liar.
You even fall
for your own bullshit.
I asked for the worst case,
you know. Finn's file was huge.
Money laundering,
extortion, conspiracy,
ABH, GBH, murder,
kidnap, trafficking.
Yours was empty.
Nothing. No one cares.
You're an irrelevance.
You're not your dad
and you don't know
how to do any of this.
You finished?
Singer said you're back in,
but you want out.
Make your mind up.
We both know why you're really here.
You and I want the same thing.
To rid this city
of the Investors.
So either help me or fuck off.
Go on, then.
You're right.
Don't have to.
You're all hiding under one roof.
Could just give Koba
Lale's address,
and that's all the Wallaces
in one, right?
We're not on the same side.
Where's Sean?
He says you and your people
saved his life.
What's in this for you,
Lale, hm?
Must have killed you
to see me walking back in here.
Thought you had him wrapped
around your little finger, didn't you?
This is hard for you, isn't it?
What is?
He's not scared of you anymore.
He's waiting for you on the roof.
Sean, what's going on?
Where the fuck have you been?
I lied about
what happened to me.
- I want you to listen closely.
- No.
You listen to me.
I've had enough.
One more lie out of your mouth
and we're done.
After I was shot,
I wasn't with Lale's people.
I was taken by someone else.
I was a captive. Lale too.
The Investors
have other enemies.
Some of them
inside our government.
They're secretive
and they're few,
and they want the Investors out.
They and I want the same thing.
What are you after?
I want you to know everything.
I want a clean slate between us.
No.
What do you want?
I want you to give me
Dad's money.
And I want your arms contacts.
Can you do that?
You and Floriana,
how does it work?
Forget it.
She controls the accounts.
Your father saw to that.
So how does it work, then?
Do you beg?
She helped me when there was
nobody else around for me.
- I can't just take everything from her.
- Grown sentimental in your old age.
- Fuck off.
- I'm the one you don't trust!
- Bloody right I don't trust you, Sean.
- I'm sorry.
No, you're not. You're only sorry
you're having to beg for what's mine.
- I should have told you I was alive.
- Yes, you should have!
- I thought you were dead.
- I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry.
- You crucified me!
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Sorry.
There were days
and weeks and months,
inside what was left of my head,
when I forgot who I was.
But I know now.
I'm a Wallace.
I'm a fucking Wallace,
all or nothing.
And I'm gonna protect us
and get what we deserve.
Be patient. You'll receive
the money soon, okay?
When? When? I don't know when.
Your people need help.
If you're looking to Sean Wallace,
it would be a mistake.
I can offer you something better.
I have the means.
And the connections.
Shall I continue?
There would be a condition.
What?
Can I tell you a secret?
Dad was scared of you.
He knew
you were smarter than him.
You got lost on purpose,
didn't you?
So he'd never want you involved.
You see people for what they are.
You don't miss a trick, do you?
I need you here,
watching my back.
Will you do that, Billy?
Yeah, I will.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Come with me.
I've spoken
with Lale and Merwan.
From now on,
I will support their business.
Is this true?
Well, you're a busy devil.
You would have done this to me.
So what would you like me
to do now?
Leave.
You could have had
what you wanted.
But you're afraid to do it.
You'll have what I promised.
