Original subtitles

[spectators chanting] Sugar! Sugar!

It's like looking in the mirror, and there can't be two of us.

What did you fuckin' see?

You weren't fast enough, and he would have killed ya.

Until you wear gloves, you are East End scum.

Meet me in combat, and I promise I will not stop until you're dead.

I want yellow and blue silk in gold brocade.

Wait! Fuck two bob a day. I wanna be an Elephant.

[whistle blows]

[Lao] You're going to steal from the Queen of England?

[Sugar] You can't feel, Mary,

'cause there's a fucking hole in the middle of ya.

Fuck him all you want, Eliza, but don't start believing what he has to say.

Planting bombs and causing chaos,

anarchists and communists attract the sort of attention we don't need.

If you lose on Saturday,

- he will kill you. - Me can't lose.

If you win, he'll have you killed. So...

[groans] Fuck!

- [dog barks] - [gasps]

[officers chattering]

[gasps]

[grunts]

[pedestrians chattering]

[paperboy] Bombing in Greenwich! Massive explosion!

Bombing in Greenwich! Massive explosion!

Two policemen dead!

[pedestrian] I'll take one of them. Ta.

[parent sobbing]

It's time.

[parent] Don't take her, please!

Mr Goodson, we all appreciate your generosity in the workhouse.

God's less fortunate creatures--

[Sugar] I'm no saint.

[parent] Please!

[parent] It's all right. It's all right.

All right?

[parent] No! No! No!

[workhouse staff] Oi, get back. Get out of the way.

[Mary] He enjoys that.

[workhouse staff] Get inside. Go on.

I hear you provide a fish supper on a Friday.

You've always been soft on us workhouse kids.

Remember you turning up at Christmas with a sack full of oranges.

I'd never had one before.

You were a scrawny little thing.

Smallest is all.

I taught you how to fight your way out.

How to fight dirty.

How to win.

Watch me win on Saturday night.

The fight can't happen.

Hezekiah's injured.

Hezekiah!

Hezekiah!

Come out here!

Hezekiah Moscow!

Come out and face me!

Coward.

I am no coward.

Show it to me.

[sucks teeth]

The fuckin' lengths you'd go to deny me an honest victory.

You did this yourself.

[Hezekiah] It wasn't me.

What? You did this?

Why?

I need him for something.

What? Him?

You don't even know him.

You can't trust him.

What you looking at, hey?

Still get butterflies in my belly coming here.

[Mary] Hmm, nice to see you Elephant boys working hard, earning your keep.

- [person] No, don't touch that. - [Esme] Dickie.

[Dickie] Esme.

[bird chirps]

[chirps]

[whispers] I remember this.

- [coins clink] - [child gasps]

If you can't earn your keep, I'll put you in the workhouse.

Here I am.

[whispers] Hello, Mary.

Yes, here you are.

I'll see you in your room.

Eliza and Esme, stay with me.

Of course.

No one gets a free ride here.

Back to work.

We met at Lord Leighton's, my discretion.

Where's my money?

That all you wanted, Mother?

Where have you been sleeping?

Wapping.

Strange that you washed up there.

Under Sugar Goodson's protection again, I assume?

I don't need protection.

Stop lying to yourself.

You moved from your family who look after their own

to a man you met in the workhouse.

I am Queen now.

So you say.

But it takes more than saying to be one.

And much more than being to stay one.

Well, don't worry, I'm gonna make my mark.

Your Chinese delegation?

I'm in charge, and we're doing it.

You will fail.

And why do you want that so much?

You always were delusional.

You're a stupid girl who will very soon be put back down in her place.

You can wear that fine dress along with the airs and graces,

and you can pretend...

but if anyone really knows you...

Nice to see you, Alice.

- I'm in a hurry. - Aren't we all?

Now, Mary sent me to check on ya.

[chuckles] I know what I'm doing.

Is that right?

Well, you're taking your bloody time.

Mary needs the stuff.

Now.

- And I am getting it. - Mmm.

You can't rush these things. I need to be trusted.

We're worried you're not up to it.

- The thing is, I can do things... - Ah.

...that you can't,

get in places that you can't, and Mary can see that.

So get off my back and run your little errands.

[employer] You're a quick learner.

[dog squeaks]

And Squashie likes you.

[employer] Dogs are such good judges of character.

Is there a letter from my husband?

Uh, not yet, Your Ladyship.

Take care when you come to marry.

The handsome, brilliant, charming ones aren't always the best long term.

Madam, let me help you.

Why would I need your help?

Should I take this for the post, Your Ladyship?

Yes. Yes, you may as well.

I won't be written off.

I run this household.

His life works because of me.

He's lucky to have you.

Milady.

[Belle] It tastes really bad.

[chuckles] Here, have a slice.

Mmm.

That is disgusting.

You've a face on you like a cat's arse this morning, Eliza.

Oh, you're no oil painting yourself, Anne.

I agree, but I have charm and many other talents.

Should I ask ten Spanish sailors that you didn't fuck...

- [Anne] What? - ...what that talent might be?

[chuckles] No.

I told you I am not under the allure of the cock.

[Elephants] Mmm.

[child shrieks]

[children laugh]

Oi. Oi. Oi.

Did you see that?

What?

Your kids go hungry while you're sat there drinking.

They are feasting on cake.

And take that look out of your eye. I'd like to see you do better.

Fine, someone needs to take them under their wing.

May as well be me.

- Here. - [Verity] All right then.

[shushes]

[children giggling]

Off.

[Esme] Well, pride comes before a fall.

[Elephant 1] We'll all enjoy watching that.

[Elephants chattering]

[Mary] Belle, more coffee.

What did Jane want?

To tell me I'll fail.

The Chinese job?

Which only makes me more determined.

Oh, we're on a roll. Who's gonna fucking stop us?

[Anne] They found the cocky little gobshite.

[laughs]

Got it.

Lady Grace's letter.

I also took some extra letterheads in case.

"Dear Mr Woodhouse,

we would be delighted to accept your very kind offer

of a Chinese translator for the coming delegation."

We're on.

Alice Diamond...

you're a real diamond. [chuckles]

And might you be too good to be true, Alice?

Lady Grace said something similar.

Tell us about Lady Grace.

What's she like?

Is she as elegant and eloquent in person?

Another time.

[Esme snickers]

Mm-mmm, no, it's too risky.

Well, I believe in us.

We can do this.

Do you doubt me?

Don't underestimate your mother.

I've known her for 30 years.

She's dangerous.

[winces]

[sighs]

What does she want with you?

[huffs]

You'd be a blasted fool for trusting her.

But even so, I have to admit, her methods are effective.

I think I have to box.

Teach me yuh science now,

yuh technique.

When your hand heals up.

[delivery person] Where'd you wanna hide this lot?

Through there.

Who's the best that will fight me?

Bare-fist.

I've told you, everyone's moved on.

There's only dinosaurs left.

Squalid cunts.

I don't want to have to be the one to scrape you off the floor

and spoon-feed you and wipe your arse when you've misjudged a punch.

Neither of us want to wipe my arse.

Ivy can do that.

[chuckles]

[chuckles]

Um,

Bert Arnott has said he'll fight ya.

I beat him two years ago, easily.

[Treacle] Exactly.

It ain't ready yet.

Do you know your old man's in the pub?

Drinking?

Yeah.

[Ivy] Mr Goodson. [panting]

Mr Goodson, please.

Enjoying your drink?

- [choking] - [Ivy] Please stop, Mr Goodson.

Do something.

[Treacle] Come on now, he's had enough.

[Ivy] Mr Goodson, please!

- [Treacle] Sugar? - [Ivy] He can't breathe!

- Sugar! Sugar, you're gonna kill him. - [Ivy] He's choking!

He's choking. I said stop! Stop it!

[Treacle] Stop!

I gave you money to take care of your family,

to keep your wife and kids out of the fucking workhouse.

Don't you ever abuse my charity for weakness.

Yeah.

Go and see to the soup.

- [breathing shakily] - Ivy?

Go and see to the soup.

Bert Arnott, yeah?

- Yeah. [exclaims] - Hey.

- Yeah? - [chuckles]

- [chuckling] - Come here. Come here.

- Yeah? - [Treacle] Yeah, I've got you. Yeah.

Yeah? When?

Saturday.

- Good boy. - All right, all right.

[both panting]

[captain] All right, lads, we're moving.

- Find Saul Woolfe now! - [officer] Yes, sir.

[Hezekiah] Come on.

[Alec] Look at the boat.

Sorry, sir, sorry.

[Alec] See the boat?

Catch it! Catch the boat!

Beat the boat! Beat it!

[Hezekiah groans]

You have the speed. You need to work on the stamina now.

I cyaan do this without you, you know?

No, you can't.

[Anne] Lonsdale's place.

[Mary] Good. I want all floor plans up.

[Verity] How many more of these sacks?

[Mary] Just keep sewing.

[police whistle sounds]

[glass shatters]

[Belle] Shit.

Looks like the pigs have raided your handsome tailor's shop.

What do they want with Woolfe?

[Eliza] Move. Move.

Saul.

I told you not to get involved.

I know what I'm doing.

I can't find it.

It must have been taken.

Here.

Where's her hat and slippers?

I can just find one.

That'll have to do.

What?

I've got mouths to feed.

Thank you, Lucy.

You have a lot of nerve.

Do I look like a one-legged emperor?

Fuck that and your ignorance.

Only the emperor and members of the imperial family can wear yellow.

Well, how was I supposed to know that?

By doing your research with rigour and care.

[Verity] Well, here's a list of everyone who's coming.

[sighs]

[Lao] "Lo Feng Luh".

You said £200?

Minus the five I already gave ya.

I have something I can wear.

[Saul] Eliza.

Eliza. It's me, Saul.

The bomb in Greenwich, was that you?

Did you do it?

[sighs]

I thought the building was empty.

Oh, my God.

You'll hang for it.

God, your arm. You stupid fool.

[sighs] I should have left,

but I wanted to see you.

No.

You're not safe here.

[sighs]

[captain] Find Saul Woolfe. He killed two of our own.

[officer] Afternoon.

[barking]

Out, you lot.

- Move. - [patron] Right. Goodnight.

[clears throat] We need to talk. [sighs]

What, is this about that bombing?

Two policemen died, and the bomber's still on your turf.

Woolfe. The anarchist.

- What, the tailor? - [chuckles]

Apparently he's friendly with Mary Carr.

Bullshit.

Mary would never put herself out for the likes of him.

She's got no time for politics.

If you want me to turn my back, you need to clean up your patch.

These illegal fights can't happen.

Either help me catch the bastard

or assure me that he's been moved on out of the area.

Make me look good in front of my superiors, huh?

And if you help me, I'll continue to help you.

What am I paying you for?

Might want to check your spelling.

You're spelling East like "Eels", man.

[barking]

- Hey, slow down. - [chuckles]

[both panting]

Here, hold on.

I will soon come.

[Alec] Yeah, man.

Would you like some soup?

- Yeah. - Good.

I made too much.

[chuckles]

Mother used to make somethin' like this.

My wife did too.

Mm-mmm. [chuckles]

- Yeah, I missed this taste, you know? - [chuckles]

[in Hakka Chinese]

[in English] ...after my mother died.

She was murdered by the British.

And you want to fight the world.

You don't have to see yourself the way this society sees you.

Don't accept those limitations.

There are other ways to fight.

You are clever.

But I need money and fast.

I'm sorry about the rent, all right? I promise--

Mary paid it.

What?

[Esme] Time to go, Mary.

[Anne shushing]

- [chuckles] - [whispers] Wait, wait. [shushing]

It's not... [chuckles]

Ugh... [chuckles]

Stop.

[chuckles]

- [Elephants chattering] - Come on.

- Why you pay my rent? - [Anne] I can't hold it.

Think of it as an advance on the job I mentioned.

But I don't agree to nothing yet.

- [Esme] Would you stop that? - Let me help you.

Hey, oh, hey! The women can manage.

Come on an adventure with me tomorrow.

You've hardly seen any of London. I bet you ain't had much fun.

Let me take you out.

- Show you a different world. - [Esme] This is fucking heavy.

Introduce you to high society.

Four o'clock.

Get your glad rags on.

[Lao] I might have an outfit for you.

[sighs]

[chuckles]

Don't wait up for him.

[Alec] I can help you with that.

Those are for Mary's room.

What do you think you're doing?

Sorry, this is for Mary.

Yeah, next door.

Please don't tell her I'm trying on these jewels.

Come in.

Your secret, dem safe with me, Esme,

as long as you tell me what Mary Carr want with Hezekiah.

She want a fuck.

[both chuckle]

Don't take it off.

You is a queen.

We don't wear or keep anything we steal.

It's Elephant rules.

[Alec] Let me.

You still want it though.

It makes me feel safe and strong.

[door opens]

Please, I need your help.

Esme, Alec, please.

[passenger groans]

Where are we going?

Wait and see.

Special, eh?

London. The West End.

It true what they say.

Centre of the empire.

I come from a very poor village.

It have its own beauty, but not this wealth.

Is your family still there?

What happened?

My father took a valiant stand against the British army.

I know what it means to be an orphan.

You mean you're not some spoiled white girl?

I might be tonight if you're lucky.

- You wait and see. - Huh.

Good evening again, madam.

Are you ready for Lady Farnley?

[orchestral music playing]

- [guest 1] Lady Farnley. - [Mary] Good evening.

[guest 2] Good evening, Augusta.

Lady Chartwell, how is your husband's gout?

[Lady Chartwell] Oh, fine, thank you.

[audience applauding]

Rumour is it's the clap.

[chuckles]

[audience applauding]

Who is that?

Miss Victoria Davies, the Queen's god-daughter.

[Hezekiah] You know her?

But of course.

Miss Davies, what a surprise to see you here.

Augusta.

Lady Farnley.

Ah, delighted to see you again.

And I'm not in the least bit surprised as you seem to be everywhere.

Mmm, and everyone.

[chuckles]

["Champagne Charlie" playing on piano]

♪ I've seen a deal of gaiety Throughout my lucky life ♪

[server] Compliments of Lady Victoria.

Different side to London?

True.

And you are drinking champagne given to you by near royalty.

♪ In bed all day And swimming in champagne ♪

♪ For Champagne Hughie is my name ♪

This is funny.

♪ Earl of Lonsdale is my name ♪

♪ Good for any game at night, my boy ♪

♪ Good for any game at night, my boy ♪

Come.

There's a gentleman you must meet.

♪ Champagne drinking is my game ♪

Mr Bettinson.

- Lady Farnley. - [Mary] Mmm.

What a pleasure to see you.

What a lucky coincidence.

Let me introduce you to the talk of the East End.

Peggy Bettinson, this is Mr Hezekiah Moscow,

newly arrived from the colonies.

You need to see him to believe him in the ring.

Hezekiah, Peggy is the key figure

- in the burgeoning West End boxing scene... - [chuckles]

...which is where you need to be fighting.

[Hezekiah] Mmm.

Are you the lad that had Sugar Goodson beat?

I surely am.

I'm glad to hear my reputation is growing.

[chuckles]

What happened there?

Oh, I had, uh, a run-in with a strange and complicated person.

I see.

Well, when you're ready to get back into the ring,

come to the West London Boxing Club.

I wanna see you fight.

I'll be there soon.

Your friend, the Yellow Earl will also want to meet Hezekiah

for sport and his entertainments.

Perhaps you might facilitate the invitation we've previously discussed?

Lady Farnley, you have my word.

To your success.

[Hezekiah] And to yours.

I'm already a success.

Queen of my Forty Elephants.

Well, I know you will fly higher.

Most men are threatened by ambition in a woman.

I am not most men.

[audience applauding]

[gasps]

[classical music playing]

[audience gasps, applauds]

Isn't she something?

[Hezekiah] In this room...

she has all the power.

She is free.

[Hezekiah] You see how everybody look 'pon Miss Lala?

Had everyone in the palm of her hand, you--

You see her power?

She is a star.

I waan that.

[sighs]

[Eliza] Alec says you can't stay here long.

We can go somewhere else.

Together?

Yes, when I'm healed.

We can make a home.

Yeah. [sobbing]

[Hezekiah chuckles]

So you still ain't told me nothing about the job.

- The Earl of Lonsdale... - Mmm.

...that first song was about him.

He's our Champagne Charlie.

Ah, so him is notorious?

Yes, you could say that.

He's a keen boxer and friends with Peggy Bettinson.

That's the crowd you need to be in with.

Why?

I mean, I'm already in with Lady Farnley.

Champagne Charlie's hosting a Chinese delegation.

- Ah, so you waan rob him. - Not him.

The Chinese will be given a very special present from Queen Victoria.

You waan rob the actual queen?

As I said, there's £100 in it for ya.

And of course the introduction to the man who can make you a star.

No.

Me waan 200 pound.

Mary, Sugar is looking for you.

- [Sugar sniffs] - [knock on door]

- [water sloshes] - Come in.

Saul Woolfe.

One of your women's hiding him.

My lad saw him in the cellar at The Green Dolphin.

You're not on top of your game.

Get him off my patch. It's costing me money.

I will.

Tomorrow. At the latest.

My lad found this an' all.

I know what you're up to.

You gonna rob Lonsdale House?

It won't mess with anything you've--

No, it fuckin' won't.

Sugar, it won't.

We've known each other a long time.

Don't take me and my protection for granted.

You're not a kid anymore.

I'll keep your secret.

Remember, I'm still in contact with your mother and her crowd.

That's all.

- All right, let's be having you! - [spectators cheering]

Love you, Punch!

All right! How are you lovely lot?

There we go. Get out there, boy!

Come on then, who's here?

[bell dings]

Knock his head off.

Gentlemen!

And a few brave ladies.

Welcome to another famous night

at the Blue Coat Boy Inn and fuckin' restaurant!

And what a fuckin' delectation we have for you this Saturday night.

Please welcome all the way from the other side of Commercial Road,

- please welcome Bert Arnott! - [spectators booing]

- Pipe down. Pipe down. - [bell dings]

Without further hesitation, let me introduce the legend that is

Henry "Sugar" Goodson!

Sugar! Sugar!

- Come on, Sugar. - [clamouring, cheering]

Give him a big fuckin' hand!

- [Eliza shushing] - [Saul breathing heavily]

So it's trouble you're looking for, huh?

Why hide a wanted man down here?

So wah? You want me to leave him for dead?

- [Saul whimpering] Please. - [Eliza shushing]

[Alec] I had no choice. Look at his arm.

What the f-fuck?

What the fuck?

[Eliza] I know. I know. I didn't know what to do.

I'm sorry.

I'm afraid he'll die.

[Saul breathing heavily]

Get Charlie Mitchell quick.

[Punch] All right then. Pipe down.

Pipe fucking down!

May the Lord have mercy on your souls!

Here we go! Come on then!

[bell dings]

Get in there and fuckin' leather him.

Go on, son.

Put him down, son. Walk him down.

[Treacle] Lovely!

- Bring him to the right! - Lovely!

[Charlie] Catch him on the right, son. When he opens himself up, counter!

Put it right on him.

Go on, son.

- Come on, Sugar. - [Charlie] Get out of there!

Go in on him!

Hey! Get up!

Get up!

- Get up! - Get up, son. Get up!

Get up.

[Treacle] Get out of the corner!

[Charlie] Come on, Sugar, yes!

[Treacle] Come on, and again! And again!

[cheering] Yay!

The pigs are coming. The pigs are coming.

The pigs are coming.

[Punch] Get out!

- Clear the ring! Clear the ring! - Move! Move!

Everybody out!

Get in here and start playing, you lot!

Police!

[officers clamouring]

[officer 1] Stay where you are!

[officer 2] Everyone get back! I want this area cleared!

Close it down!

Charlie, please we need your help.

Hey, you! Get down there!

Upstairs as well.

Hurry, it's Woolfe.

Get up top! Move everything!

[glass shatters]

- Come on, let's go. - [Charlie] Go on, move.

Next time when I say no, it means no.

Move! Move!

- [shushing] - The pigs raided the Blue Coat Boy.

It was fuckin' mayhem.

What if they come here next? It's him they're after.

His arm's rotten, has to come off.

[Eliza] No.

Get a grip, Eliza. Do you want him to die?

[Charlie] Put this in the fire, son.

[Alec] Don't put that inna the fire.

Hezekiah.

[Verity] I don't need to see this.

[Belle] Mm-mmm.

You all right?

Roll up his sleeve for me.

There you go. Keep on turning. Keep turning it.

You keep twisting that way.

It'll be all right. It's gonna be all right.

Hold this over his mouth.

It'll help with the pain.

Here you are, my love.

- [shushing] No! - [Saul grunting] No. No.

- Please! Please! - [sobbing]

- Hold him down. - [Eliza] No!

[Charlie] It's all right. You, hold him.

[Alec] No.

[Charlie] Come over here and hold him down.

- [Saul grunting] - Come on.

Yo, Alec, come.

- [sobs] Stop. - [Charlie] Get here! Hold him! Come here!

Sorry, mate. It's okay, mate. It's all right.

You'll be all right, mate. We're gonna sort you out, fella.

[Saul straining]

Grab his shoulder. Hold him down.

You, here now.

[Eliza sobbing]

- [Charlie] Take his hand. - No.

[Charlie] You have to hold his arm down, hold it straight.

You got it?

God, he's strong, this one. He's got a fight in him. It's good, it's good.

Hold his shoulder.

- We have to do this as quick as we can. - Higher.

I've seen this before. You've gotta go higher.

You gotta get it all off in case it's spread.

[grunts]

[Saul, Eliza screaming]

He's alive. He's passed out from the pain.

[Eliza sobbing]

[skin sizzling]

I need to get him down to the river tomorrow night.

[Charlie] Are you mad? He can't be moved.

He can't stay here. Sugar's orders.

You're out of favours.

This is why I tell you to keep emotion out of it.

You can go with him if you want.

Anybody else?

What have you decided?

No. No one else.

My place is here with you and the Elephants.

[Mary] If you're going to stay,

there's no room in the Elephants for anyone who questions my leadership.

[panting]

- And you get wah me ask fa? - Yeah, man.

Dis is the future.

All right.

So a man who wear gloves and fight by dem West End rules

don't end up dead in the ring.

[grunts, groans]

Feel good?

[both laugh]

Come now.

Go on.

So you can do it.

You can be the next Tom Molineaux, one of the greats.

American champion.

Should've been British champion too before dem rob him.

Oh, a Black man?

Yeah, man.

But you, you go finish wah him start.

Me going to do it.

Me even hear there is a world championship now.

It's our time now, brother.
