Gangs of London (2020) s01e08 Episode Script

Episode 8

I'm looking at a lot of faces
on my wall. Someone is missing.
It's not just Luan's money that's
gone. Three more empty accounts.
It's over a billion and
a half. It's Finn Wallace.
He fucked us all.
You don't get to see a penny
until I know my baby's safe.
Whoever took your
money took ours as well.
Mosi won't wait any longer.
The attack on Lale, that
was your blunt hand, yes?
That was my strong hand.
What do you want to do?
Take what he most cherishes.
There's someone else above all this.
- We need to figure out who it is.
- Our investors killed Finn
because he was leaving.
They are prepared to
let the business continue
on condition that Alexander
runs the Wallace organisation.
Why the fuck have you got a UC
following me? I need him pulled out.
I don't care who he works for.
I'll set him up, you can arrest him.
If I ever see you again, I'll kill you!
Now take your scumbag father away.
I don't want you going near
Shannon Dumani ever again.
Understood? It's you and me now.
They'll come after you.
OK.
- Yes?
- The Wallaces, they're on the run.
Shannon?
Shannon? It's me.
Looking for somewhere to hide?
I thought you were going to take
root out there in those bushes.
I came to see Shannon.
I wanted to tell her why I
didn't leave with her last night.
I had to stay. Sean was
all over the place
I am very good at reading people.
It's what's kept me alive. But you?
I don't get you.
Everybody has to like you.
You never seem to pick a side.
I just came to see that
Shannon and Danny were OK.
They're fine. Where are Sean and Marian?
I don't know.
And Billy?
I'm going to pick a side for you.
And it's not the side I'm on.
Key.
Go back upstairs and look after Danny.
Our job is very simple.
To find the money.
We can do that. We're good at
hiding it. We know where to look.
And one thing I can tell you for certain
is that Finn Wallace
didn't take it with him.
This firm is not going under.
Confidence is what will see us through.
And I have total confidence
in each and every one of you.
Find that money, it will convince
our investors and everyone else.
Yeah? Thank you.
Yes. Yes, I can assure you
that's all happening. Absolutely.
100%, yeah.
OK.
Thank you.
Do you know how I spend all my time now?
All of it.
It's convincing people that
not only should your son
be allowed to run the business,
that he should even be kept alive.
Same goes for you,
your daughter,
your grandson.
And you?
If anyone can find where Finn
hid that money, it's Alexander.
Recovering the money
is the first thing, Ed!
What the investors want
is an assurance of order.
No more dead bodies on the
street, no more chaos. Confidence!
And we can give you that.
Once Sean is out of the way.
There must be somewhere
There must be somewhere
that they would hide out!
You know, not knowing where Sean is
I wouldn't stand out here.
Marian will be strategic. But Sean
If he thinks it's all over,
he'll be more dangerous than ever.
You're a Wallace. A Wallace!
Everything hangs on our name.
Billy still isn't answering.
Nor is Jacqueline.
What?
It's us living like gypsies now.
Holed up in one of our
own fucking developments.
Should have been me
blowing his brains out.
You know, I can't even say his name.
I set light to someone.
Threw them off a fucking building.
For him.
They'll hit back.
At who?
The Dumanis?
That's not who we're up against.
Fighting people we'll
never find, never see.
Can't even put a name to them.
Then we go after those we can see.
And that is the Dumanis.
They know who these people are.
We stick to our plan.
We go back to Ireland
And then what? Come back here
with another one of your armies?
To do what? Take down
the City of London?
If that's what it takes, yes.
We found Sean Wallace's sister.
Satellite image shows a farmhouse.
- That's the location.
- Go get her now.
And Leif, keep her alive.
Use her as bait.
Just get this done.
We need the Wallaces gone.
Quiet. And keep it simple.
Yes, sir.
Jacqui.
I've come to get you.
You need to leave here.
No.
I'm not going without you.
She sent you?
I just want you to be safe.
Look at us, Billy.
Is this safe?
Billy.
She's left a hundred messages.
There's no way I'm going
back to Ireland with her.
I've the best care in
the world lined up here.
This is where I'm going
to give birth to my child.
Jacqui, if I can find you,
the people who are hunting us
will be able to find you too.
Why would they?
- I'm not a Wallace.
- Yes, you are.
They'll use you.
Our mother is using this,
like she always does, to drag me back.
She's always dealt in fear.
It's her only commodity.
Billy, I'm not one of you.
I'm sorry.
Thanks for trusting me, Jacqui.
It's just to be safe.
What the fuck?
This place was supposed to be empty.
Be careful. Stay here.
You're a Wallace.
A Wallace!
Everything hangs upon our name.
You can build an empire.
Be a king.
Do you want that, son?
Yeah.
Don't fucking yeah me!
Why?
Why? Why?
Why?
Why? Why? Why?
Why?
Why?
Why? Why?
Why?
Be a king.
Good night, Dad.
Vicky's not coming.
Is she OK?
No, she's in deep shit.
But not as deep as you.
You set up a good cop.
I don't know what you're
talking about. What cop?
Don't you fucking dare.
This thing you and Vicky set up
to pull out Anthony went wrong.
They sniffed Anthony out
before Vicky could get to him.
- Don't do it! Let it go!
- Hold your fire!
Drop your weapon!
Colin! Get in the fucking van!
Come on!
The only reason I'm not
arresting you right now
is that the Wallaces have him hostage.
- Last chance, let him go!
- Don't fucking think about it, bitch!
Go! Go!
Anthony!
He's a good, decent man.
One of mine.
And he wasn't fucking
one of the criminals
he'd been sent to investigate.
I'll find him. And call it in.
As soon as.
This family is falling apart.
And I'm the only one
with access to both sides.
The rift between the
Wallaces and Dumanis.
Finn wasn't the hero Sean thought he was
and it's fucking with his head.
And when this facade crumbles,
because that's exactly what it is,
- I'll be there to see the real power behind them.
- No, you won't.
And you never will, you
self-important prick.
You think the rest of us
don't know how the world works.
You're going to do one thing, and
that's help me save a good man.
Then maybe, on a rare day,
you might just be able
to live with yourself.
Fuck!
Sean, you're all right. He's
been following me and Shannon.
It's being dealt with.
- Let me deal with it. You gave him to me.
- It's not our priority.
If Anthony is a police officer,
we need to find out
- They'll get it out of him.
- They're good at that.
- Is he coming with us?
- Yes.
- Let's go.
Sean! Sean, let me do this!
The last thing you need is
more death. Especially a copper!
Elliot, we need to get what's
left of my family to safety.
Mum, you go on ahead.
I'll be waiting at the
helicopter for all of you.
Don't be long.
Keep trying Billy. And Jacqui.
Sean, you're going to get
through this. I know you are.
And when you do,
do you want all of this taken
away from you by some cop?
Your mum's men, they're not
going to ask the right questions.
I will. Anthony knows me.
All right.
Colin's got him at one
of our construction sites.
All right. Get back here fast.
There's something I need to do.
You what? Wait a minute.
Jonathan Seaton Cox?
- How long?
- A little over five years ago.
I've got a house, a car, rock solid ID.
Smackheads, we spend a
lot of time thinking.
Planning.
Of course, nothing ever happens, but
I got you the same.
You planned for me?
Five years ago?
A new life.
Not being a Wallace.
- If you want it.
- I want it.
My daughter wants it
even more than I do.
Am I a Seaton Cox as well?
Well, yeah.
You're my sister.
What's my first name?
Well, I was angry with you at the time.
Actually, we've got a fuck
of a drive ahead of us.
Jonathan?
What's my first name?
Arabella.
Arabella! Arabella Seaton Cox.
Look, they'll never find us.
Good.
Mm.
Tariq?
All four of them. In Mosi's room.
Number 47.
Around the corner. Number 47.
- Tariq?
- Waiting for us.
Mosi, I delivered! I walk!
You said I walk!
You said I walk!
Mosi! Don't kill me!
Mosi! Don't kill me!
It's locked.
Open.
I said open.
Ah.
Bukoroshe, such a pretty thing.
Ah. The traffic is too much.
Your wife says she'll be
with you in ten minutes.
It's a shame the
children are not with her.
Aghh!
Yaah!
Aagghh!
Aaaghh!
Are you OK?!
Everything will be OK.
I love you.
OK?
Can I come in?
Yeah.
They found some of the money.
250 million.
It was in the Caymans.
Finn really knew what he was doing.
- Can you get it back?
- I already have.
Always the smartest one in the room.
There's still over a
billion left to find.
And that's only what we know about.
That should be enough to keep Jevan
and the investors off
our backs, for now.
No Sean?
And no sign of Marian or Billy either.
Letting them live would be a mistake.
That woman Finn was running off with.
- Floriana?
- Mm.
What if he did set
her up with an account?
Is there any way of getting her
full name or more background?
Well, she died the same night as Finn.
- You certain?
- Jevan told me.
I was thinking someone might have
been smart enough to keep her alive.
As a way of getting to the money.
I'm coming. I'm coming!
She's so beautiful!
Do you want to hold her?
Oh, come, my little one.
Little one, you're beautiful,
beautiful, beautiful.
Oh, my little one.
Do you want to help me wash her?
Sshh!
You don't have to worry now.
As soon as my son returns,
and we have the money,
I promise you I will
take care of your baby.
Like it was my own.
OK?
Thank you for doing this.
Your grocery list.
Sean, if you do this,
there will be no going back.
I'll have my men get this to you.
Let me know when everything's in place.
Then we go after Asif.
What have you promised them?
Promised?
What?
- To whom?
- The people that you've sold me to.
Your dark arts friends. The ones who
are making sure I'm streets ahead.
- Where is this nonsense coming from?
- Because you'll want payback.
The very fact of my son being
the mayor of London is my reward.
Can't you see that?
I come from nothing. Dirt poor!
I know hunger.
And the stability that is
going to come from knowing
that there will be no sudden shocks,
no nonsense legislation,
and that London will be
open for business to all.
As usual.
That
is the reward for everyone
who has invested in you.
We can keep doing this all day!
Aagh!
Aaaghh!
Are you working alone?
Aaagh!
One last time! Are you working alone?
Aaaghh!
Aaaghh!
Stop! Put the drill down!
Put your hands on your
head! Get down on your knees!
Fuck's sake, you too?!
Fucking London, it's got
more filth than crime.
- Put it down!
- Fuck you!
- Put it down!
- One less pig to worry about.
No! No, no, no!
Stick with me! Anthony, stay with me!
Hey! Hey!
No, no, no.
Coke on! Fuck!
Hey, Antony! Anthony, Anthony, Anthony!
Jesus fucking Christ! No, no, no!
I didn't tell them anything.
I know. Thank you.
Thank you, man. Just
Just stay with me now. I've called
it in. They know where we are.
Anthony. Anthony! Stay with me.
No! No!
Shit!
Sean, where are you, for God's sake?!
Let me know what's happening. Please.
Have you spoken to Billy and Jacqueline?
This isn't fair on me!
Shit.
Come on, come on!
Hold on!
- Hey.
- Hey.
Come in. Thank you.
So um
So this is where you live.
I can see why you
always come to my place.
Yeah. Um
Er Thanks for coming round.
Come away with me.
Tonight.
- You have to.
- I want to.
Then do it, Elliot.
It's too dangerous.
Oh, fuck off. I grew up
in this life too, you know.
Hey. This isn't just about
Sean and your dad, Shannon.
What are you talking about?
Yeah, he's a threat. He
shot your dad in the leg.
And he might not have stopped there.
I
There is something else out there.
What do you mean? Some
other gangs? Which ones?
I
I I don't know exactly.
But there are people that
Finn dealt with, higher up.
And I need to find out who they are.
'Cos if I don't, Sean, no Sean,
you and Danny will never be safe.
- So what does that mean?
- It means
It means you've got to go, Shannon.
I have to stay with Sean.
He's paranoid and he's on a mission.
If I abandon him now, I'm on his list.
And I can't defend
you or Danny from him.
- Or anyone else.
- This is bullshit!
Listen, listen. When you are safe
When you are safe, I will come for you.
Until then
- we can't be together.
- Why?
Why, Elliot? Because
Because?
Is it because of them?
They they
They were my world.
Now you are.
That can't happen again.
I should never have let it get to this.
We didn't have a choice.
- Yeah?
- Hi.
Sean?
Is that you?
Working late?
Er Yeah.
I'm recovering the money.
I've found two lots now.
Hm. If anyone could,
it was going to be you.
Well done.
Keeping those investors pleased.
Sean, we can stop this.
You and me.
I know we can.
I've come round to understanding
why my father did what he did.
Yeah?
They killed him before they
knew he'd rob them, right?
Er That came out afterwards, yeah.
They killed him because he'd had enough.
Like an old horse.
And that's the job
you just stepped into.
Or grabbed, with both hands.
Sean, what
You can't take them on.
I know that, Alex.
You can't fight the invisible.
No-one can.
Go over to the window.
The one my dad used to look out of.
What do you see?
Our city. The one we
said belonged to us.
That's what I'm looking at too.
Except I'm on the
opposite side from you.
It's a different view.
A lot of those red dots
out there are still ours.
We were good at building.
Still are, Sean.
Mm.
Good at taking them down too.
That's progress.
Confidence.
That's what everyone
always says is important.
Keep everyone confident.
Business stops without it.
Yeah. Right.
The people who killed my father,
who tried to kill me,
from where I'm standing now,
I can't see them.
But I can see what they own.
What was that?
