Both of those judgments turn out to be prescient in this third episode ofGangs of London.
Were seeing the cracks in Seans rule already.
The story the parents told their sons: They were going rabbit hunting.
The reality: A man was buried in the ground up to his neck.
He was bloody and pleading for his life.
And if Sean could kill him, Finn said, he was ready for the family business.
We are born into a certain world.
Its chosen for us, fated.
Some might think its brutal.
I say its glorious.
But Billy in this episode proves that hes more than we initially expected and made of weightier stuff.
He protected Sean in their childhood.
He proves his value and yet Sean refuses his help.
And Sean isnt wrong!
Billy is an addict.
The Wallace family business is mostly drugs.
There is no way to reconcile that.
Sean is doing all he can to protect Billy.
Billy is doing all he can to protect Sean.
Expand that outward and everyone here is operating to protect someone they love.
What did those pictures that Luan slid over show?
He hands over the cellphone Darren used.
Ed certainly wasnt pleased.
The only person who looked utterly nonplussed was Marian, and again, I ask: Whats her endgame?
Perhaps Naomis death two years ago was the impetus for Elliot going undercover?
But note also that Elliot is spinning a variety of lies here.
Elliots flirting with Shannon might open him up to unnecessary risk.
That Wallace enforcer Mark has never liked Elliot, and that might be a problem.
Elliot has secured Seans trust, but for how long can he keep it?
But I would not lose a rupee in that.
Be smart, Sean.
Runner-up: Also Mir, with his amused Youve got his temper.
RIP to that takeout container of shawarma that Elliot stabbed.
How long until Shannon and Elliot hook up?
I give it … two episodes.
Lales speedboat drug drop-off made me want to watch Michael MannsMiami Vice, a perfect piece of cinema.
Still as gross as when Anton Chigurh used it.
Alex Moffat, was that you?
