[Peggy]
Welcome to West London Boxing Club.

Prove to me your mettle in the ring, and
I'll introduce you to the right people.

The judges have awarded
the contest to Mr Hezekiah Moscow.

Yes! Yes!

I'm rising in this world.

If you men have a score to settle,
do it within the rules.

[grunting]

[Peggy] I believe you've got what it takes
to fight for me out West.

And that's where Hezekiah will be.

Tell me what Mary Carr want with Hezekiah.

She want a fuck.

We are fucking on.

Robbing the Queen
and the Chinese Emperor is risky enough,

but it's the Elephant Boys
that I really fear.

My participation
in Mary's criminal scheme tonight,

it's about a certain species of closure.

Your Excellency,
I humbly present this gift.

[jeweller]
This is a royal silver collection,

finest in the land.

I challenge you to a contest right now.

-Let's fight.
-[clamouring]

Now.

-[screams]
-[minister grunts]

[Mary] Here he is,
the man with our fortune.

[chuckles]

[Mary] All right, Charlie,
is that our silver?

If you can call it that.

It wasn't melting properly in the furnace.
Most of it wasn't melting at all.

Your silver just burned.

Yeah, because it's not
real fucking silver.

What are you going on about?

[Eliza] It's silver-plated.

[sighs]

[Esme] I can't believe this.

So was this all a waste of time?

Biggest gamble we've ever taken.

-Yeah, and we've fuck all to show for it.
-Apart from the one dead body.

We're gonna hang for it, and that's if
the Elephant Boys don't get to us first.

Fuck.

Indigo Jeremy's gonna be
fucking furious, and Jane--

Don't you dare mention her name!

Have you any idea
what you've gotten us into?

I don't! I don't know, Eliza,

why don't you tell me
because you are fucking dying to.

Go on, go on.

Actually, no, why don't you take
the lead because you crave it so much?

You've finished us, Mary, and you know it.

Well, I'm not like you, Eliza.

I see solutions where you see problems,

so shut your fucking mouth
and let me think.

I can't believe it.

Mary come with your money yet?

Wanti wanti, nuh getti getti. Relax.

[scoffs] You telling me to relax,

the man whose eyes has been wide
like a potoo since the robbery.

Why you talk so loud?

When you go admit you get conned?

How long now since you hear from Mary?

[scoffs]

Esme come here later, you know.
Can ask her about your money.

[messenger] Hezekiah Moscow!
Been sent by the Earl of Lonsdale!

Is who that now?

That is business, brother.

Come.

[door opens]

Good morning, milady.

These came for you this morning.

I'll read them in time.

I saw you leaving with them, the thieves.

I must admit, apart from the murder,
I was impressed by how cunning it all was.

But now they're coming for you all.

Why are you telling me all this?

To give you a chance to run.

You've brought shame and death on
my home, and for that you will hang, girl.

But it won't be on my conscience.

Now you get out of my sight.
I never wanna lay eyes on you again.

[bell dings]

[distant chattering]

[sighs]

Thank you for seeing me.

What's so urgent
we had to meet in this shithole?

[pedestrians chattering]

Oh, madam,

I wondered if you knew where I might
find the proprietor of this establishment,

a Mr Lao Lam, is it?

Oh, uh, Lao is indisposed,
but you can speak with me.

Ah, a shame.

I'd have liked to speak
with Mr Lao personally,

but you will certainly do, Mary Carr.

I have been itching to meet the woman
who's been masquerading as Lady Farnley…

a woman who died in Ceylon six months ago.

Please, if you don't mind releasing the
hilt of that dagger beneath your dress.

I'm well aware of how
the Forty Elephants work.

Since you walked to this building,
Miss Carr, you passed seven men,

all in disguise, all with orders
to blow this building sky-high

should I fail to walk out of it
in the next five minutes.

What do you want with me?

I am looking for Lao,
and as of now, so are you.

The Crown have endeavoured
to cover up the heist for now.

-The silver's of little value.
-You mean fake.

What matters now

is bringing to the gallows
the murderer of a foreign dignitary.

It would be very easy
for me to pin both the stolen silver

and this murder on you and your girls.

You think you've got me, don't ya?

Yes.

I do hope to hear from you soon, Mary.

-Oh, do you think so?
-[Sugar] Mary's resurfaced.

Charlie told me she's in trouble.
I should go and find her.

No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

You focus on the here and now,
the West End.

Get in there and prove that
we Goodsons deserve to be here.

Whatever business Mary has got herself
into, let her fucking deal with it.

Is Peggy a fool,
or is he just trying to taunt me?

[Earl] Pleased to meet you. Earl…

It's just a meeting, Sugar.

It's a fucking farce.

Come on.

[Treacle] Come on, Sugar!

-[bell dings]
-Watch your body, Jem.

Now jump on him! Jump on him!

[grunting]

-[spectator 1] Don't let him pin ya.
-[grunting]

[spectators clamour]

No, back, back! He's done.

That's it, Sugar.

Tonight's contest between
Henry Goodson and Jem Cummings

-has been awarded to Henry Goodson…
-[Treacle] Come on!

[ring announcer]
…by virtue of a first round knockout.

[whistling]

-[spectator 2] …beastly.
-[referee] Right. You all right, mate?

Fuck off.

May I introduce my companion?

This is John Douglas,
the ninth Marquess of Queensbury,

patron of the West London Boxing Club,

and he's a champion of
the new school of boxing in the West End.

So this is the famous African
who put you on your arse, Lonsdale, huh?

Yeah, well, Hezekiah's Jamaican. [scoffs]

Just why are we here?

Because I wish to sharpen my axe against
the trees in your garden, My Lords,

with the aim of taking down
the biggest tree

of them all.

[inhales sharply] Funny.

-Buster Williams?
-[chuckles]

World championship bout
with the Brooklyn Gent.

-That's what you're proposing?
-Yes.

You have promise, Hezekiah,
but this, this is madness.

Americans are the best fighters
in the world, and of that stock,

Buster Williams is the best of the lot.

Then it should be a good fight, no?

That's if he even agrees to fight a Black,
which is highly unlikely.

Look, I want to beat the whole world
with your backing, sir.

And if I wasting my time,
tell me now and that'll be the end of it.

But I will find a way
into your West End rings,

and I will perform sweet science
on this Brooklyn Gent.

To fight the Brooklyn Gent,
you need attention,

so you make more noise in the ring,
even more noise in the press.

We'd need to move quickly, set up fights.

Your first could be in,
I don't know, three days?

That's a good way to go about it.

But what about money?

[Earl] That'd be a formality.

Coin is, uh, guaranteed with my backing,

and brokers will fund the bouts
if Queensbury approaches them.

[breathes deeply]

Do you truly believe
you can be world champion?

[chuckles]

I have never believed in anything more.

[Alec] There.

[grunts]

[Alec] Come on, Hezekiah!

Eh, you think you can beat
buckra man like that?

Three nights is all you have,
and your opponent won't be slapping you.

-You understand?
-Yeah, man, we go again.

-You need fi calm down.
-Don't tell me fi calm down, come.

Me can't teach you now when you like this!

You have all the talent in the world!

But without the discipline,
you is nothing!

Don't waste my time, Hezekiah.

Me done give up everything for you.

[panting]

Yo, Alec.

-I mean--
-Just leave it, man.

No, you're right.

Me sorry.

Hezekiah, me don't want you to be sorry.

I want you to be great.

It's opportunities like this
we used to dream 'bout for real now.

Me always knew you would end up here.

Me just never think
me would have to stand aside.

We stand side by side, brother,
and we always will.

It's not Hezekiah or Alec,
it's Hezekiah and Alec.

Always, huh?

And them will see that, you hear me?

-[pedestrians chattering]
-[horse neighs]

My eyes must be playing tricks on me.

[chuckles]

Mary, is that you?

Now where the hell you been?

Keeping a low profile
to keep the law off my scent.

You promise him £200. Where it deh?

We have a problem.

[sucks teeth]

Mr Lao.

Yeah, I know what him do.

[Mary] Then you'll know
the whole world is after him.

Police, spies, the very monarchy.

They're willing to turn a blind eye
to our heist if we give him up.

Have you seen him?

No.

I know you have loyalties to him,
but if you know something,

Hezekiah, I need you to tell me.

I don't know anything.

[Mary] There's still
enough time to save him.

You tell me now,

we can help him together.

Mary, I haven't seen the man.

Pray I find him before they do.

[sighs]

Look pon you, man.

Dem soon hear about you back home,

and dem a go shout "Hezekiah Moscow"
from the top of the Blue Mountains.

-Dem a go shout yours, too.
-Hmm.

Me nuh really wanting 'bout that.

Me just want you and Esme
fi see me fight properly.

[Earl] Good day! Good day!

You ready?

Ta-da!

[laughs]

[Hezekiah] Wha' this?
A jungle background that?

[Earl] Yes, and the press will eat it up.

I really wanted to, you know,
capture the essence of Hezekiah.

Capture the what?

Hey, no worry.
I will do my talking in the ring.

[Earl] …slightly more exotic feel.
T-This jungle essence.

[speaking indistinctly]

When you're ready, sir.

One, two, three, four, five.

[Alec] That's it, that's it!

That's it! That's it!

-[shushes]
-Move from here.

[heavy breathing]

[grunting]

[crowd gasps]

[laughs] Come on, Zulu,
you haven't landed one punch on me yet.

[grunting]

[spectators gasp, applauding]

I heard them call you the Transvaal boar,

but you're more ugly
than any pig I've ever seen.

Gentlemen, silence.

[grunting]

[panting]

I came here to tame lions,
and they gave me a wild boar.

Well, I miss the taste of jerk pork,
so come now, Sir Boar!

[mumbles, grunts]

[grunting]

[referee] Back, back, hey!

One, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

Remember this day,

and spread the word
that Hezekiah Moscow is here to stay.

-I like it!
-[spectators cheer]

[whistling]

-[bell dings]
-[referee] Fighters ready?

Come together.

Touch gloves. Fight.

[grunting]

-[exclaims]
-Oh!

[spectators applauding]

[cheering]

One, two, three,

-four, five…
-[bell dings]

…six, seven…

-[bell dings]
-[exclaims]

[bell dings]

[Earl] Yes!

Sugar!

Pleasure as always.

You said if I came up West,
I'd have Hezekiah on a platter,

so why am I still out here
in the fucking cold

on a Thursday while he's doing this?

[clicks tongue]

Sugar, I'm gonna be honest with you.

There's been a whole change of plan
with the you versus Hezekiah thing.

We all agree that it would be best
for all of us, for now,

to keep you and Hezekiah apart.

Influential men are now invested in
Hezekiah's continued successes

in our rings.

Having you injure him,
perhaps even kill him,

well, they can't have that.

Don't worry. You'll continue
to be well paid for your fights.

Treacle understands,
and I'm sure you do as well,

being a sensible man that you are.

[Sugar breathing heavily]

[breathes deeply]

[exclaiming]

Come on, Sugar! Go on!

[spectator 1] Come on, Billy!

[spectator 2] Come on, Billy boy!
Finish off the bastard!

-[spectator 3] Sugar!
-[spectators cheer]

One, two,

three, four…

-Sugar, get up. Get up.
-[referee] …five,

six, seven…

[grunts]

-[referee] …eight…
-[Treacle] Sugar, what are you doing?

…nine. Oi!

-[groans]
-[spectators clamour]

[referee] Whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa, stop!

Get off him!

Don't you ever touch me.
Do you understand?

Get an usher! Someone get an usher!

[screams]

[referee] No, no, no, no, no!

Break it up!

[clamouring continues]

-[skin tearing]
-[Billy screaming]

Sugar!

[screaming continues]

[Peggy] Get out. Get out.

Get out, Sugar. Get out now!

Get onto the street where you belong.

I don't ever want to see you
here again, you little rat!

Get out of here now! Get out of here!

Lunatic!

Doctor!

Give him space, give him space!

[footsteps approaching]

[door opens]

So the stories of you taking over
The Green Dolphin are true then, I see.

Sleeping here with
the scum of the East End.

What the hell are you doing here?

You should watch your tone with me.

I'm the only ally
you have left in the world.

I warned you, Mary, and so did your girls.

Eliza, she asked to see me.

Sharp thinker that one.
I always said she had brains to be Queen.

Look at me when I'm talking to you.

There will be consequences.
You know that, don't you?

You've damaged our reputation,

and now the Elephant Boys
want to bring you back to heel.

I don't need you here
telling me the obvious.

You should be dropping to your knees
and thanking me for even being here.

You know what Indigo is capable of.

Fall in line, surrender your power to them
and come home,

or they will retaliate and punish you.

I see the cockless coward, Indigo Jeremy,
has turned you into his messenger.

This is a warning from me, Mary!

Things were fine as they were!

-My ambition is to make--
-Ambition?

Is that what you call it?

No, child, this is stupidity.

[sniffles]

[sniffles]

You know, I thought I taught you well,

but you truly are
your father's daughter, aren't you?

He turned everything
he touched to ash too.

There he is

in those eyes.

Failure in one,
disappointment in the other.

Me and him dared to dream…

and that's why you hate us.

Hate you?

[sighs]

What makes you think I have time for that?

[door closes]

[chattering]

Hezekiah.

I hear that you may have some bars for me.

Will I be disappointed?

Here.

I trust this will be enough
to purchase your continued silence

and Mr Lao's protection.

Mmm, oh, for sure.

Take me to him.

Mr Lao?

Hezekiah.

[sighs] Are you well?

I live…

for how long remains to be seen.

How long do you plan on keeping me here?

Do you think the world
will forget what I did?

No, the world won't forget what you did.

But I won't let them take you either.

We all carry sin.

Atonement is the tonic for sins.

And if they hang you,
what atonement is that, hmm?

You believe you deserve death,
but I've tasted death, Mr Lao,

and I can tell you
that life is much sweeter.

So let me help you to live.

[vendor shouting]

Hey. What's that say?

"Treacle Goodson takes the West End", sir.

Treacle?

Not Sugar?

You sure?

Esme?

What's this?

Mary's told us to be on guard
and watch for strange men tonight.

Mary? Is she here?

Yeah, Queen's in her quarters.

Go to her, Hezekiah. I'll take good care
of this one while you're gone.

Did you miss me?

-How you look so sweet?
-[chuckles]

Mary?

What's going on?

Who's coming here tonight?

Hez, if you know where Lao is, tell me.

Look, why we cyaan just
leave the man alone, hmm?

You know him as well as I, Mary,
and I know you can see he's not a bad man.

What I know is that the police are being
aided by agents of the Crown to find him.

What I know is that the Elephant Boys

are trying to tear down
everything I have built.

And what I know, Hezekiah, is that
tomorrow I miss the deadline to find Lao,

and for that, there will be punishment.

-What are you going to do with that?
-Why are you here?

'Cause you shouldn't be alone.

Whatever is coming, right?

Who-- Whoever, I want to be by your side.

Why? Why? Why do you fight for people
who are nothing to you?

Why?

I never knew kindness in this city

till I met Mr Lao…

and I never knew strength…

till I met you.

As long as I'm here,

you don't have to be scared.

I see you, Mary.

There's nothing to see.

[chuckles]

Well, I see you're a dreamer like me.

I see that you want
more than the world says you can have.

There's nothing you can show me
that can scare me away.

[spectators clamouring]

[contender retches]

Yes! Go on, Sugar!

Sugar fucking Goodson,
ladies and gentlemen!

Reforged and reborn from his trials
in the fires of the West End.

Where is he?

Where's my brother?

The fucking Judas.

Everyone here, hear this and hear it good.

For the crime of betraying his brother,

Treacle Goodson
will be barred from this pub

for the rest of his fucking life.

Charlie.

[spectators murmuring]

[cheering]

[spectators chanting] Sugar! Sugar! Sugar!

[breathes shakily]

That will never happen again.

I dropped my guard,

and you can't protect me
from what's coming,

so I need to protect myself.

Where you going?

Out. I need to think.

Is this Jack Mac's?

No, man, it's freshly brewed gin. [scoffs]

A gift.

[door opens, closes]

Yeah. Be ready, boys. Cover all the sides.

Down there.

[officer] Don't move!

-Oh, come here!
-[Lao] All right.

[officer] Come on!

Lao Lam…

I'm so pleased to finally meet you.

Take him.

[officer] Come on then, move.

Keep walking.

[knocks on door]

[Mary] Sugar, it's me.

You gonna let me in?

I'll, uh, make this quick.
I see you're busy.

I need to know I have your support.

Why?

I have angered the Elephant gang,

and the rumblings are
they wish to make an example of me.

And you need me to save you?

Mary Carr?

You've always had my support,

but you'd have my total protection
if you marry me.

It would make sense,

the union of Goodson and Carr.

You'd-- You'd be forever protected.

No one will threaten you
if you wielded my name,

not even Indigo Jeremy.

And in time, one day…

we could raise a family.

There are plenty of lost little souls
out there that need a home.

No.

Is there someone else?

-No.
-Don't lie to me.

I saw him last night in your room.

It's him, isn't it, between us?

Do you have feelings for that man?

-No.
-I don't believe ya.

Well, I can't tell you what to believe.

You need me, Mary.

I can be more than just help.

I promise I can be more.

I thought you were unable to love.

But the truth is,
you're just unable to love me.

[sniffles]

No protection for you here,

not for you or your Elephants.

See yourself out.

[sighs]

You'd better know what ya do
with this English woman, you hear me?

Don't worry about me, man.

If I don't, who will?

What you think, though?

Look good?

I think the bear would like his skin back.

It's not bear, it's fox.

Oh.

You shouldn't wear animal skin, you know?

An obeah man once told me
that the soul still live in them,

and one morning you just

[shouts] wake up

[normal] with the urge to run on all fours
and lick your balls.

-[chuckles]
-And don't say me never warn you.

-You're funny.
-Mmm.

Esme get it for me.

I'm meeting her after your fight later.

Well, I think you should wear it to this…

next week.

Hezekiah,

-is this…
-And…

I think you should invite Esme too.

You see, there's plenty, plenty room
upon the Blue Mountains for the two of us.

You ready for tonight?

This is for the trophy.

The man you're fighting
fight Buster to a stalemate once.

Well, there'll be no stalemate tonight.

Hmm?

One will stand…

the other will fall.

[concierge]
Do you have your tickets? Enjoy the fight.

My money is on the, uh, heavyset…

One, two… [grunts]

No, it won't take long.

It was the seventh…

[spectators cheering]

This is the clincher.

Hezekiah Moscow. Step back, step back.

Ladies and gentlemen, I invite you all
to join us for tonight's exciting finale.

In this corner, we have
undefeated in his last six contests,

Mr Arcadius Montclair.

-You good?
-Yeah, man.

And returning to us after a series
of impressive victories,

culminating in his latest defeat
over Jack Caesar,

fighting for our prestigious club trophy,
Mr Hezekiah Moscow!

Come on! Come on!

Seconds out!

Round one.

I've heard I've been barred from my manor
and wanted to see the truth.

Get 'em out, Punch. Get 'em all out.

I had nothing to do with this.

Right, everyone out. Come on.
Pub's closed. Out.

Come on. I've got you. Get out now.

You, up now! Let's go, come on, come on.
Put that down and get out!

Come on. Lively. Johnny, get on out!

Hear him out, Sugar.

You've got some fucking nerve.

And you've got no brain.

It was my chance,

my chance to get rid of Hezekiah.

The only fucking reason I went up West.

But you took that away from me, Treacle.

No, no, no, no, no.

-No you.
-No.

I saved your life, you fucking idiot.

No, Sugar, come on.

Just listen to me for once.

You've let obsession ruin you.

If I'd allowed you to fight
Hezekiah on the West End,

you'd have disgraced yourself,
win or lose--

You don't know what you're talking about.

Just move on
from this petty grudge please.

Sugar, please, I'm begging you.

Boxing is changing and you're not.

The West End was the clever option.

You're getting old.

I want the name Goodson to mean something,

but it won't if you keep on
acting the way you're acting--

Look, he doesn't get to just walk in here

and take everything I've built,
and neither do you.

Look, I protect this community,

and if I don't fight and kill,
then others will think

they can just come in here
and steal everything I've built as well.

And no one gets to take from me
and live, Treacle. No one.

Not you and especially not fucking him.

He's already taken it all,
and you're just too blind to see.

Hezekiah is making his name
on the biggest stages

while you're in here,
fighting drunk chancers,

still believing it makes you
a righteous man, yeah?

-Yeah.
-And you're angry,

you're angry at me
for taking your place in the ring.

Well, Hezekiah's taken it all,
and you just let him.

All you've got left is this dump of a pub
and your silly pride.

And as for Mary-- [stammers]

Yeah, fuck it, I'll say it.

No wonder she's not interested in you.

[Treacle screaming]

[grunting]

[grunts]

[straining]

[grunting]

Stop!

Yes! Yes! Yes! [laughs]

[Sugar sobbing]

[referee speaking indistinctly]

Next up, the Americans!

Come on!

It was two rounds.
It's a left and a right.

The champion, everyone. Hezekiah Moscow.

[pedestrian] Hezekiah Moscow?

Who the fuck want fi know?

[grunts]

-[grunting]
-[pedestrian shouting]

[knife pierces]

[pedestrian grunting]

Queensbury's intermediaries have been
liaising with Buster Williams' camp

on a stopover from Ireland.

They brought terms to his trainer.
It's one Jerry Knox.

And?

It was hard to get Buster
to fight someone like you, Hezekiah,

without certain concessions,

but convinced him, we have.

You have your fight.

Yes. [laughs]

[Peggy] He arrives in Liverpool
in little over a fortnight.

Will you be ready by then?

Oh, yes.

[chuckles]

Whoo!

[child] Mary Carr?

This is a gift to you
from the Elephant Boys.

On this knife is the blood of your boxer.

Indigo Jeremy sends his regards.

[breathing shakily]

[sobbing]

[sobbing]

Esme. Esme. Shh, come on. It's all right.

[sobbing]

What happened?

Where's Alec?

Esme? Where's Alec?

He was attacked tonight.

Esme?

[panting]

[Esme] Someone stabbed him.

[stammers] I tried. I tried but…

[inhales deeply]
…the blood was everywhere.

I couldn't-- He squeezed my hand.

[sobbing]

I'm so sorry.

No.
