Watch peaky blinders season 4 episode 1
Calling him out on his business practises. Eden about the “ disparity in pay based on sex.” She’s no slouch. Then there’s Arthur, he’s doing his best to pull himself together, wife Linda (Kate Phillips) remaining at his side after everything that’s gone on with the family.įinally, Tommy meets with Ms. Ada (Sophie Rundle) reaches out to John and Esme (Aimee-Ffion Edwards), the latter of whom is not entirely willing to reach back. The rift amongst the Shelbys is quite wide. Talking to herself, alone in that house and having conversations with dead people, drinking, downing pills. She really is going off the deep end, though. But Tommy says “ the spirits she sees are real.” At least they have to be, to help her in the long run. He also wonders about Pol, she’s not great she “ saw spirits” before almost dying, her mental health is deteriorating. Otherwise, Tom’s concerned with Michael and his drug use, lots of cocaine. They’ve got union troubles, a woman named Jessie Eden (Charlie Murphy) stirring things up as of late. In the meantime, he’s always drinking, always having sex with working women probably not taking such great care of himself, either.Īlthough Tommy does see Michael, who continues working with the business, of course.
He’s isolated, just him and his boy, and he’s not even being a real father. He hasn’t seen his family in ages, not his brothers children. He’s always busy, trying to raise young Charlie in the rare moments between doing business. Lizzie (Natasha O’Keeffe) keeps Tommy up on the family goings on, though he already knows, anyway. He’s always gotta get paid, one way or another, right?Ĭut to a year later in 1925, right before Christmas. On top of all that? Tommy Shelby wants an OBE. Right before the Shelbys and the Grays are hanged by the neck, the proceedings are stopped.
The assurance is that Tommy will burn everything he has relating to the Crown should the charges be dropped. Elsewhere, in the higher offices of the United Kingdom, is evidence that Tommy knows about Churchill’s involvement in all the earlier mess, reaching to the King himself. But each of them are now brought to be hung, a noose for each. Pol’s a bit more tame because she’s near gone mad. The lads are not exactly easy to keep under control. And sure enough, Arthur (Paul Anderson), Michael (Finn Cole), John (Joe Cole), even Polly (Helen McCrory) are all hauled off to the clink. Tommy (Cillian Murphy) tells his family they’re about to be arrested. Last we left the Shelby clan it was rough.
