ROSALIE SAT WITH THE SHELBY FAMILY, alongside other close Peaky Blinders, inside the office of Tommy's house.

Micheal had taken her along to the family meeting in hopes to tell the family of their news.

They all sat, waiting for him to speak.

"Before I begin, I want to let you know I made a mistake. I made a mistake, and I want to apologise to all of you. Arthur, you warned me against getting involved in Russian business, and you were right."

Arthur hummed.

"I doubted your wife, for that, I am sorry. Linda, I have added 3,000 here, in the hope you will forgive me."

Linda stood, taking the money. "Apology accepted"

"Esme, I doubted you as well.

"Now John has got innocent lives on his conscience. Ordinary working men..." she hissed.

"Yeah, alright Esme, got it" John stopped her. "No she's alright" Tommy said. "You and Arthur are gonna have to share that burden. But i hope the house that you can buy with this," he tossed money in front of John.

"Can become a place of contemplation. Perhaps redemption"

John took the money and returned to his seat.

"Charlie, for lost tools and dangerous goods and Curly's wise words. Johnny, for board and lodgings." he tossed money at them.

"Lizzie." He whispered, handing her money. She scowled and threw it at him.

"Michael, for the killings. Five for cutting and five for shooting."

"No, Tommy." Polly stood. "What? Tell me, eh? This is who I am!" He shouted.

Rosalie frowned at the interaction.

"And this is all I can give you for what you have given to me. For your hearts and your souls. Yesterday, I nearly lost my son. You should fucking understand that. For what, eh? For what? For this? For this?" he ranted.

"And I know that you all want me to say that I will change, that this fսck¡ng business will change." he mocked.

"But I've learnt something these last few days. Those bastards. Those bastards are worse than us. Politicians, fucking judges, lords and ladies. They are worse than us. And they will never admit us to their palaces no matter how legitimate we become. Because of who we are, because of who we fսcking are because of where we are fucking from."

"Isn't that right Ada?" he asked. "Our Ada knows. She got smart about revolution. And she knows you have to get what you want your own way"

"Lizzie, I want it known, that money was for you because some nights it was you who stopped my heart from breaking, no-one else."

Lizzie stared at him.

"And the rest of you, you took the King's shilling. You took the King'a fucking shilling. When you take the King's shilling, the King expects you to kill."

"Isn't that right Arthur?" he looked at Arthur. He stayed quiet. "Yeah, that's how it works, right John?"

Micheal stood, taking the money. "Thats right" he whispered. He returned to his seat and hesitantly took Rosalie's hand in his.

"That's right Pol," he pointed at Micheal, "That's fucking right"

Polly shook her head. "Tommy you've had a bad time we understand. So at an alternative time, when we have all recovers i would like to put before the family, an alternative view of the future of the Shelby Company Limited" she took the money from Micheal.

"A more hopeful view" she continued.

"Which i for one would quite like to hear" Ada spoke. Esme stood. "As would i"

Lizzie agreed.

"Come on Arthur, train for the dock leaves in one hour" Linda urged. "Then we will get the boat to new york and it'll all be in the past"

"I will be off then Tom" he stood, along with everyone else. Arthur said his goodbyes.

"You can go but you won't get far, Arthur" Tommy said. "Uh, all right tom" Arthur nodded.

"He told me that the Chief Constable of Birmingham has issued a warrant for your arrest. Murder, sedition, conspiracy to cause explosions. John, they're coming for you as well. Murder, conspiracy to cause explosions. Michael.."

"What the fuck Tom" Arthur said. Rosalie looked around quickly, her eyes wide.

"...for the murder of Hughes." he continued. "Polly.."

"Wait a minute, what the fսck are you..." Arthur asked.

"the murder of Chief Inspector Chester Campbell." Tom looked down.

"Why didn't you fսck¡ng tell us, Tom"

"The people we betrayed last night, they want to bring us down. They control the police, they control the judges, the control the juries, they control the jails. But they do not control..."

Knocks came from the door whilst everyone shouted. Rosalie's heart pounded as she watched the family shout.

"Look what they did to us. Why didn't you tell us before?" John shouted. "You are my brother." Arthur argued.

"Listen to me. So I've made a deal."

"They will hang us!" Arthur shouted.

Panic rose in her at his words.

"We will fucking hang" John shouted. "It's all taken care of" Tommy assured.

Everyone began shouting. Micheal looked at Rosalie, a scared and betrayed expression on his face at Tommy's actions.

"Lizzie, collect up the money and bring it to the cellar. You will all get your money in due course. When the police gets in, do not resist. You go with them, and you do not say anything"

"Tommy you can't do this, she's fucking pregnant. She'll be alone, you can't do this" he shouted.

Everybody grew more shocked at his words.

Tommy looked down, ignoring him.

"Arthur, I have made a deal with people even more powerful than our enemies"

"Arthur" Linda shouted from outside.

Linda ran in, going for Tommy. "You did this deliberately! You made this happen to keep us" She shouted at him.

Arthur grabbed her.

Coppers stormed in, grabbing members of the family. "Get off him," Rosalie shouted as Micheal was pushed up against the wall. She ran forward, only for two police men to pull her back. "Micheal," she screamed. "Rosa, listen to me, you'll be looked after i promise, go home. Please, go home,"

Rosalie sobbed.

He looked to the side, his eyes widening. "Let go of her, your hurting her" he shouted. "Let her fucking go she's pregnant"

Rosalie fought against there grip, hitting them.

"I fucking said get your hands off her," he hissed.

The copper began dragging him to the door. "Micheal, no you can't take him" she shouted after them. "Let him go," she begged.

"Get off," Ada hissed at the two men, glaring at them as they carefully let go of Rosalie.

She once again, attempted to run after Micheal but Ada gently grabbed her wrist. "Stop," she whispered.

"No, no they can't take him. I'm carrying his child, they'll hang him." She argued, tears flowing down her face. Ada allowed the girl to practically fall into her arms, comforting her.

Anger grew inside Rosalie as Tommy stood at the door, watching as everything happened. "You monster," she hissed, pulling away from Ada and storming to Thomas.

"They will kill him. And my child will grow up without a father," she hit his chest, pushing him backward. "They will fucking hang him."

Tommy allowed her to continue hitting him, not attempting to stop her. "I'll get you a car, and you shall return home. Shelby Company Limited will provide for you on Michael's behalf"

She shook her head, walking away and covering her mouth. "Take me home," She demanded at the man who stood beside the car.
