But which cannot be said. “This chorus was discussed again tonight, and after some fiddling, it actually happened this season, albeit not in the way we thought based on earlier revelations.

The episode begins with cousin Michael Gray (Finn Cole) being released from a Boston prison in Norfolk, where Tommy sends him to open the season. And again, Michael swears “I will take revenge on Tommy Shelby”, which he blames for Aunt Paul’s death at the end of Season 5.

Tommy’s wife, Lizzie (Natasha O’Keefe), cried in the bedroom of her recently deceased daughter, Ruby. Tommy says he will return to the island of Mycenae to collect the $5 million paid for the opium shipment. Lizzie tells Tom that she dumped him and says, “Damned Tommy…a curse that should never be lifted”.

In fact, Tommy is starting to streamline his business at Shelby Company Limited in response to being diagnosed with cerebral tuberculosis a few episodes ago. Nobody knows the diagnosis until Arthur (Paul Anderson) discovers X-rays and punches Tom in the face: “I know bro, I know.”

Tommy tells his brother and his First World War comrade: “We died a long time ago; Now I’ll still have a certificate…all the bullets he fired.” This is an emotional scene in which Tommy warns Arthur to keep the news to himself: “I don’t want anyone to see that I love or swim, go crazy or helpless. “Until people know the truth. I’ll go.” Arthur finally gets off the opium, unable to sit through the first few episodes of the season, and hugs his brother in a long hug. Tommy says, “Here I am again. We have work to do.”

Meanwhile, the tribe’s illegitimate son, the Duke (Conrad Khan), is grafted onto the family. The entire gang gathers at Garrison’s bar, including younger brother Finn (Harry Kirton), who has an awkward relationship with Buck Bill (Emmett Scanlan). We were waiting for the hammer to fall on the note and it will come soon. Tommy tells the congregation that he has a job at a family home in Arrow House, including extracting information about people “more valuable than gold” to them, corpses to be excavated, and expensive French wines to drink. “This will be a farewell party.” Scary Billy asks: “Will there be girls?”

Cut to Boston and a gorgeous Art Deco pillow that Gina (Anna Taylor-Joy) reunites with her husband, Michael. He constantly announces that Arthur is going to dinner at the garrison on Sunday night: “Maybe our folks will come and throw Arthur out for a glass.” Michael seems reluctant because “it’s a matter between me and the tribe” but Gina insists: “Arthur must die too. Deep down, Arthur and the tribe still want to die.” “We’ll give them what they want on Sunday.”

Back in the tribe, she was sitting in the dark Houses of Parliament when Diana Mitford (Amber Anderson) offered to come in and “follow them to the benches”. Tommy: “I’m arguing, but you’re going to have to go through court because I’ve given up on Tory chairs.” Mittford’s fiancee, fascist Oswald Mosley (Sam Claflin), emerges from the shadows and presents the tribe with a wedding invitation. “He is in Berlin. We are getting married in the presence of the Führer”, later forming an important plot.

The process will move between different parameters when the points are resolved. Michael arrives on the island of Mycenae, where he excitedly loads a leather bag containing a bomb into his car; A group of Blinders head to Birmingham’s Arrow House; It looks like Tom is returning to Aunt Paul’s prophecy; And Arthur is in the garrison.

At Arrow House, Billy gets a bullet in the forehead as a conflict in the kitchen sees Duke take control and kick Finn out of the family. Meanwhile, the tribal plane lands on Michelon as IRA agent Captain Swing (Charlene McKenna) and his group that killed Paul make their way to the garrison to take care of Arthur.

In the streets beyond the bar, a game of cat and mouse begins as Arthur turns the table to killers using a liar, a machine gun and poisonous smoke bombs; Even in Odessa there are a number of steps. Battleship Potemkin. Before killing Arthur Swing, he says, “Her name was Elizabeth Grey. She was my Aunt Paul,” and shoots him in the chest.

Returning to Michelon, Tommy and Michael plan to go to the opium stash so that Tommy can retrieve the $5 million he has. When Michael jumps out of the car to get a cigarette from the bar, things don’t go according to plan as the bomb goes into another car and Tommy is unharmed. Thank God for Johnny Dogg’s (Paki Lee) kindness.

Shocked, Michael tells Tom, “You killed him.” “Paul has made his decision”, Tommy replied, to which Michael replied, “No one decides beside you, we can’t escape.” Tommy tells Michael, “Paul is visiting me in a dream; He won’t visit me anymore” and then shoots Michael in the eyes. “I have no restrictions,” says Tommy. And so Paul’s prophecy comes true.

Inside the bar is Alfie Solomons (Tom Hardy), sharing reviews by his trademark. Tommy tells him, “You know, Alfie, so many people are in so much trouble it’s killing me and I’m still dying.” Alfie: “Is that a round of applause?” Then, “I’ve been speaking dead for several years, but I can wholeheartedly recommend it.” Overall, this is a great exchange between the two.

Now that he’s back in Birmingham, Tommy leaves Arrow House with a shocking explosion behind him. He then organizes a meal among the gypsy caravans for the remaining members of the Peaky Blinders and says, “We’re back where we started, horses and caravans, vagrants and thieves.” He toasts his family members and offers Ada (Sophie Randley) a day to take the job. The man is still unaware of the tribe’s diagnosis and is confused by their plans to move away “for a while”.

A month ago, Tommy lived in a trailer parked outside the open city. Today is the day your coin flip determines that you will be hit in the back. But after Grace, Liz, Ruby, John and Paul are honored and voicing the familiar “Sad Midwinter” for the series, Ruby comes into the tribe’s sight. “If I’m already dead, did Paul send you?” He asks the little girl who says she is not sick. “Let the fire go out, burn again and heat, and you will see that you must live.”

Tommy snaps photos of the Oswald/Mittford wedding in Berlin, and between the parties, Dr. He introduces Holford (Aneurin Barnard). The discovery that the diagnosis is completely fake sends him to a doctor’s corner on his property. “How was the wedding in Berlin?” – He asks Tom and explains that he found all the links. “I think you’ve all decided that Tommy Shelby is the only person who can kill Tommy Shelby,” says Holford, who claims Tommy is just another man who can’t kill another in cold blood. Just as he was about to do it, the doorbell rang and Tommy sighed, “Eleven o’clock. truce. peace at last “Peace at last” and sends the bullet to the ground.

The final scenes are featured in Lisa O’Neill’s version of Bob Dylan’s “All the Tired Horses” soundtrack. On his white cane, Tommy watches his trailer go through the fire.
