Gangs of London (2020–…): Season 2, Episode 8 - Episode #2.8 - full transcript
Leave it!
You can't even look
at it, can you?
You know how Elliot got to him.
Don't lie to me, Mum.
This is about Billy now.
What did you do? Tell the truth.
Billy found Asif's shipment.
And you couldn't tell me because
you're the one who stole it?
I never meant for
Billy to get hurt!
And you say that with his
fucking arm lying there!
I was protecting him. And you!
- Protecting us!
- From Koba!
I had to take control
because you can't.
No, no, no, no, no. You just
couldn't bear to see me win.
I didn't need you. That's
what you couldn't stomach.
Sean, we need to
pull together now.
- If Elliot phones, don't answer.
- What?
You're not doing what
he says. He'll kill...
I'm going to save my brother.
Sean! Listen! He'll kill
the both of you, please!
Listen to what I'm saying!
He'll kill the both of you.
- I'm getting Billy.
- Oh, just forget Billy!
Billy's gone.
I never want to see you, or
speak to you, ever again.
Do you understand?
Your father would
have finished the job.
Let me speak to my brother.
Sean!
Billy! I'm coming for you.
No. Sean...
don't... It's a trap.
Just stay alive, Billy.
That's
enough for now.
What do you need me to do?
That's a
good start, Sean.
I'm gonna tell you exactly
what you need to do.
So listen carefully.
Sab!
What the fuck have you done?
She helped Elliot
Carter try and kill me.
I think she might
know where he is,
who else is involved.
I don't know this,
but I'm not going
to die wondering.
Did you know about this?
- Did you know about this?
- I don't know anything.
- Leave him alone.
- Ssshh.
She is your people.
She is your problem.
Do this for me.
I need answers from her.
Saba, c'mon.
I don't know.
- Tell him!
- I don't know anything, I swear!
Do this for me.
Do it!
A word.
Wait.
Elliot's got Billy.
And he's cut his
fucking arm off.
He'll let him live if
I surrender to him.
Can you open a
window? I feel sick.
He's going to
give me an address.
I said don't fuck with that.
A GPS location.
Look what you fucking
did to me, man!
He wants
me to go alone.
Is Sean coming for me?
You want morphine?
There's morphine.
Fuck you.
That's when we kill him.
- Let go of her, man!
- You're fucking nuts!
I need your help.
It's not a problem.
It's not a problem.
Lucky. It will be quick for you.
You can get rid of her.
Don't fail me.
We're going
on a little trip.
I need full comms.
Sniper team. Understood?
Okay.
Let's take this
motherfucker out!
You did
the right thing.
Faz, get the car.
What do you mean?
Hakim?
- Hakim, you're not gonna...
- Get in the car!
You don't need to see this.
Move, Saba. Move.
Get in the back room.
Don't look at me like that.
You brought this on yourself.
Move, come.
Get in the back.
You're done, Saba.
Hakim, what you doing,
man? Hakim, she can go.
Just let her go. Look, you
don't have to do this...
- Shut up.
- What you doing?
- That's your cousin!
- Get in the fucking car.
- That's your cousin!
- I don't care!
She's a snake.
Don't listen to Koba!
I'm out here looking after
the whole fucking street, Faz.
Koba's in charge now.
This is fucking happening.
You're the snake, Hakim. You
betrayed Basem. Remember that?
- You remember that shit?!
- Hakim, no!
What is
wrong with you?
I told you, get in
the fucking car, Faz!
Don't fucking get in the
way or I'll shoot you next.
Saba!
Saba! No!
Look, I don't
want to be the smart ass.
But this is why I don't
allow my men families.
You're missing out. Trust me.
I can help
you kill Elliot,
but we both know there
are other problems.
Who do you think
stole our shipment?
Luan?
Maybe. But who told him?
- Merwan?
- It was my mother.
That's fucking heavy, man.
What do you plan
to do about that?
It's power or family.
- You can't have both.
- We get rid of her.
I'm sorry.
About your boy.
The
heroin's gone, Luan.
Was it Shannon?
Or do you think it's Ed?
Are you protecting him?
I'm saying it
doesn't look like Ed.
Well, you can't
ask him, can you?
Because he won't answer
his fucking phone.
We need that shipment.
I can find the van.
I put a tracker inside.
I like insurance.
Get it back. Whatever
it takes, get it back.
- I'm doing this for us.
- No, no, no. This destroys us.
Sean would have destroyed
us. Marian taking control
would have destroyed us.
This gives us the power.
We can build something
we never had before.
- Marian helped you.
- No. She was helping herself.
No.
- I made promises. I can't do this.
- What are you doing?
- I'll talk to Marian.
- You don't owe her anything.
The Wallaces stood on our shoulders
and wanted our thanks for it.
But not anymore.
They used you, Dad. For years,
you were their bag carrier.
Their little gravedigger.
We do this now,
or we're nothing.
- Did Elliot put you up to this?
- No.
No. I can make my own decisions.
So we're going
to sit here now and wait.
Okay?
- Shannon, this is not who you are.
- It's who I need to be.
For Danny.
And so I know my brother
didn't die for nothing.
You know, at some point, I
thought I would have to kill you.
Not because I wanted to.
Because a weak partner
is a liability.
But what you did with Lale...
And now your mother...
Tells me we might
be on the same page.
You know, my dad
used to test me.
You and him would have got on.
Test you how?
When I was 14, he buried
a snitch up to his neck.
Put a bucket on his
head. Handed me a rifle.
Motherfucker. What did you do?
Pissed myself.
I wanted to run away.
Never come back.
Then I pulled the trigger.
Good boy.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry about your dad.
That was wrong.
Man, that was wrong.
We can talk about that.
Elliot?
We can talk about that.
You told me that
people like him,
the world just chews them up.
That's the way it's
built. I'm sorry.
It's not right.
But killing Sean is
not going to change...
fucking anything.
It's not going to
bring him back.
It's just more blood.
Do you think he would
have wanted that?
No.
I'm not doing this for my dad.
I'm doing this for me.
I'd like some morphine now.
Elliot's gonna
send his location soon.
Need to pull over.
Can I have two burgers
with chips, please?
I'll be right back.
What's
going on, son?
I'm gonna
get us out of here.
Get you on that
beach in Jamaica.
Better pack my shorts then.
Look at this.
Okay, it's an
airfield, about 20km.
- Check it out.
- Okay.
The story
about your dad,
it made me remember mine.
My sister had this dog, Margi.
It got old, she stopped
being nice to it.
It looked like a dirty
old mop, you know?
Eyes like this...
So I gave her a wash. Shampoo.
I comb her hair. I
put some ribbons here.
A little crown from one
of my sister's dolls.
I go downstairs.
My father is with his friends.
I show him, "Dad, doesn't
Margi look pretty?"
I'm 6.
His friends are looking at me.
My dad beats the shit
out of me right there.
The fucking dog...
running around with a crown.
Ah!
Dads, man.
Ah...
Ah, they wipe their
boots on you, don't they?
Tell me about it.
They can't help it.
Who gives a fuck?
We tracked
the location.
We got the sniper
team en route? Okay.
Giorgi is taking a fucking shit.
Head to this airfield.
We'll follow.
Let's get this done.
Not bad.
Maybe less onions.
Where the fuck is Giorgi?
What, not hungry? You
wanted it a minute ago.
Man's gotta eat. Hm?
Mm...
What the fuck?
Look at that.
Hand me that napkin.
Whoa!
Can't feel it.
Think I'm having...
a fucking stroke?
What the fuck?
Call the...
Call the...
I'm sorry.
It'll be over soon.
No fucking way.
It's a compound
poison. You're paralysed.
Look at me.
Look at me!
You're a fucking fool.
I know.
Why, man? Why?
You
wouldn't understand.
It's done.
What kept you?
I said
it's fucking done!
Now what?
You'd better get a move on. Your
brother's bleeding out here.
You'd better
keep him alive,
or I'll fucking kill you.
- So tell me, how d'you do it?
- Why does it matter?
I'm just curious.
Fuck that! I want to talk
to Billy. Put Billy on.
You'll see him soon.
- Fuck!
- But only if you cooperate.
Okay, what do you want me to do?
Shit! Come on,
come on, come on...
Fuck.
That's better.
I'm sending you
the real location now.
It's an old power station.
Dumping ground. People
won't come looking there.
Come alone.
Come unarmed.
Or you'll never see Billy again.
It's your life or
his. We're good?
Fuck! Fuck!
Ah, Billy. Fuck!
Billy! Stay awake, Bill.
Don't go falling asleep now.
Billy, are you there?
Hey, say something.
Billy!
Billy!
Come on, stay with me.
Almost.
Don't fucking do that!
- They're here.
- Who's here?
- Albanians.
- Danny, stay. How many?
- Two cars.
- How did they find us?
- Marian...
- I'm not running.
Look at me.
If we do this, there's
no turning back.
Danny. Come with me.
Now!
In there.
Luan, listen to me.
We don't have to
do it like this.
Then return
what you stole.
You really want Marian
to have all that power?
She won't go away.
She's lost too much.
I will work
it out with Marian.
Luan...
you got your wife
back. Remember that.
There's a reckoning
elsewhere tonight.
Let's wait.
See what tomorrow brings.
It's all right. It's all right.
You've arrived
at your destination.
Knees, Billy.
Jacket.
Slowly.
Turn.
Lose it.
Sean, don't.
Don't. No. No.
Don't...
Now let him go.
Knees.
I love you, Billy.
No. Sean... Don't.
Elliot, don't!
Elliot!
Was it all worth it?
Your...
dad...
would be...
proud.
Please!
Please!
Please!
Please!
Let him down!
Let him down!
Elliot!
It's not enough.
Killing you...
it's not enough.
Tamaz, why don't you tell
us what really happened to Koba?
We are trying to get reports
over. Don't you worry about that.
I'm gonna make you
watch, Sean Wallace.
I'm gonna take everything
you ever built.
Your power.
Your people.
Your city.
And I'm
gonna replace you.
When the world shifts,
so must you.
Or it leaves you behind.
London is in my dreams.
My shining city on the hill.
Yet I find myself in exile.
I need a partner...
with experience of that wretched
goldmine of a city.
I need a fellow exile...
with as much desire as I have,
to reclaim what was stolen.
Things change...
don't they, Lale?
They do.
You can't even look
at it, can you?
You know how Elliot got to him.
Don't lie to me, Mum.
