Original subtitles

- Go on, Duke! - Punish him, Duke.

Don't get stuck in the corner!

He's The Duke, Duke, Duke! He's The Duke, Duke, Duke!

He's The Duke, Duke, Duke! He's The Duke, Duke, Duke!

- Hey! - Ref!

- You ain't got nothing! - Ref, come on!

You fuckin' cheatin'! Fuckin' wanker!

You do that again, I'll break your fuckin' legs!

Come here you fuckin' prick!

Let's go! Let's fuckin' go!

Oi, Colman!

This how you let your fighters carry on?

Yeah?

He caught ya, yeah?

He caught ya' 'cause you're fuckin' about.

Hey, the people came to see a show, bruv.

And I'm givin"em one.

I say fuck the show, let's fight fire with fire.

Yo, Jay, would you just shut up and clean his eye.

I don't want the ref to call it a stoppage.

Go fuck' em up, mate.

It's good to see the British press out here supportin' Duke.

He looks off, you reckon the occasion is too much for him?

No occasion too big for "The Duke."

I knew that the day I signed him.

What's important is bringing that belt back to the UK

and showing the world that Marshall Promotions

is a major force in the boxing game.

And what do you say to allegations

that Marshall Promotions is a front to launder drug money?

How' 'bout I jam that pen in your fuckin' ear, mate.

It's okay, son.

Listen, if you want a private interview,

I can give you one, just not now.

After the fight.

My team can direct you to my suite.

Very good.

One more question... All right, okay.

Are you out your fuckin' mind?

Never take attention away from what's happening in the ring.

When are you gonna get that in your fucking head?

You fuckin' idiot.

Sorry, dad.

How much longer are you gonna feel him out?

All I need is three rounds, four tops, then I got him.

I know his rhythm now.

Well then, show them who they came to see.

The fuckin' Duke.

Yeah?

The only round that matters...

is the next one.

Come on! Yes!

Go, Duke!

Go on then bruv!

Yes!

Yes, brother!

Out!

Yes!

For the WBC,

heavyweight championship of the world,

Maduka "The Duke" Kilroy!

Yes!

Whoo!

What's the point of all this, Walsh?

You could be writin' about...

footballers...

anything...

why this?

Why me?

'Cause you're a phony,

and you hide behind boxing.

Phony?

See, people like you,

they feel they're so high on their horse,

that they can't fall off.

So then...

we have to knock you off.

Boxing...

is a criminal enterprise.

Always has been, and always will be.

Tonight's story...

is gonna be about Duke.

And that's it.

Heavyweight fuckin' champ of the world...

- Can you believe this, Joy? - Of course I can.

Told you ten years ago you would.

You used to call me "The Oracle."

Okay.

Why weren't you there tonight?

I looked at some houses...

LA is nice.

Yeah, but is it something for us?

It'd be nice for us, yeah.

By the water, couple of bedrooms.

Everything we always talked about, and plus,

as a developer I can begin to sell there.

So what's the hold up?

No hold up.

Joy...

what's the hold up?

Duke, are we really gonna do this right now?

It's your night...

you're the heavyweight champ.

Yeah...

you're right.

But it's our night.

Just like we said, right?

Tomorrow, life changes.

I talked with Colman.

Everything's in place.

I sign with him, leave Kingsley,

and we move to LA.

We set our own path.

It's easy for you to say.

You can now do whatever you want.

Hey...

where I go, we go.

I love you.

I always have, and I always will.

Ever since we were kids at school.

So let me hear you say it.

Tomorrow,

we will start our new life.

Duke...

I need to hear you say it.

Tomorrow,

we start our new life.

I gotta go.

It's the champ!

All right, make a speech bruv.

Hey, everyone shut the fuck up!

The champ wants to speak!

- Yeah! - Whoo!

My head hurts too much to have a sip,

so you all have three for me, yeah?

Joe Lewis.

Ali.

Frazier.

Foreman.

Holmes.

Tyson.

Holyfield.

Seven of the greatest heavyweights of all time,

but what's the common denominator...

Not one of them was from London.

But Duke...

- Duke's gonna change that. - Come with me.

He's gonna show the world

that the greatest doesn't have to be American.

That the greatest can,

and will be from London.

Let's raise a glass to "The Duke."

You're not only London's favorite son...

you're like a son to me.

Now go and enjoy the expensive food and drink I'm paying for.

I could fit the yard I grew up in in Jamaica inside this room.

Everything I built from the ground up.

Never took a handout from nobody.

I not only earned this...

I deserve it.

Yeah, you come a long way.

Loving family, beautiful wife,

your daughter expanding the business.

You got everything you need, right?

Well, men like you and me, we're not...

we're not measured by wives and children.

We're measured by what we build with our own two hands.

That's what lasts forever.

Congratulations.

Damn, wow...

a hug and congratulations from CeCe,

I'm winning everything tonight, wow.

- See ya. - Mmhmm.

I saw you talking to the investors.

- Get you a drink? - Please.

Everything on top?

Numbers look good.

Really good, actually.

We start the necessary paperwork now,

could be on track to breaking ground

on the second casino within the year.

Half a dozen across Europe in the next five.

Yeah, maybe down the road.

But right now, we need to ride this wave that Duke is on.

About the office space for your wife...

Her name's Joy.

I'm not sure now is the best time for a...

vanity purchase, if you ask me.

Wasn't asking.

- You good? - Yeah, yeah, yeah...

Do you think Dad was watching the fight?

I don't know, man.

But what I do know...

is I see you, my not so little brother.

I couldn't have gotten here without you, you know.

- Well, you did all the work. - Shut up, man.

Don't be so humble now, man, come on.

All right, it was all me.

Thank you, man. I love you.

I love you too.

Where's Jay? You seen him?

No. I'll go check him in his room.

- All right. - Meet you at the car park.

All right.

Man of the hour, yeah?

Hey.

Congratulations, fam.

Listen, I booked out the entire Tao nightclub for us.

Baddies, bottle service, everything's padded bruv.

I appreciate it, Z, but um,

me, Jay and Cal gonna have a low key one at Aria.

When I'm back in London, we can, we'll meet up.

Have a proper celebration, all right?

Yeah, all good.

Calvin!?

Cal?!

Yo, Jay?!

Yo!

Get him!

Get his hands!

Get his fucking hands!

Do it!

Get him!

Duke!

Calvin!

Calvin...

Cal...

Cal...

Stay with me man, stay with me.

Duke...

Calvin...

Calvin!

Call the police!

Police!

Make space!

Freeze!

Put your hands in the air and do not move!

Do not move!

My name is Amado Rodriguez.

I am a man of great influence...

which allows me and my people

a level of access to any and everything we need.

But on occasion, I like to use my influence

to grant someone else

something they need.

I don't need anything from you.

Except to be left alone.

I beg to differ, English.

You need desperately

what I can give you.

Yeah?

And what's that?

A reason to live.

Get the fuck off me.

Get off me, man!

We were just meant to break your hands, that's all.

We didn't mean for your brother to...

Why?!

You were fucking Kingsley Marshall's wife.

I gather simple revenge would suffice in this situation,

but something tells me that won't be enough for you,

because it's not revenge you're after...

it's a reckoning.

I help you find Kingsley and get revenge.

In return, I take over the London drug market.

It starts now.

If you do this, English, there's no turning back.

Kilroy.

It's a going away gift, from Amado.

Fuckin' hell!

How'd you know I was landing today?

What, you think I wouldn't know?

Fuck off, come here.

- All right? - Yeah, man.

Yeah. You all right?

Got a present for ya.

Man.

Shit, I ain't had these in ages, man.

Now, is that good?

Yeah, it's good.

So, where you workin' these days?

Well, I do freelance debt collection around the city.

What's that mean?

Come on...

You know, when people don't pay what they owe, then I...

well, I go around and I- and I politely...

remind them to do so.

I heard Kingsley's done a runner.

No one's seen or heard from him in months.

You hear anything?

Hear all sorts of rumors.

Everything from he's in hiding,

'cause the old bill building up a case against him,

to he's in Turkey gettin' his hairline fitted.

You know the one that Lewis Hamilton went to?

What do you think?

Guy drives a racecar,

what the fuck do I care about his hairline?

Come on.

Why didn't you respond to any of my letters or calls

over the last eight years?

I didn't respond to anybody.

Yeah, I should have been there that night, Duke.

Shit, bruv, there is not a day that goes past

that I don't feel guilty, you have no idea.

Yeah, but I do...

'cause I was there.

Yeah...

let's get you inside, yeah?

Use your jab. Keep him away from you. Keep moving.

Who told you all you could stop?

Come on!

Two minutes left on the timer boys, come on.

What's the number one rule in my gym?

Um...

no food allowed in the gym.

What's the number one rule?

No visitors allowed without you knowin'.

No visitors without me knowing.

I don't even know why I'm here, man.

Come, let's go, I'll stay with you.

No, actually, sorry bruv,

I'm on my old lady's sofa at the moment. So...

you can't sleep on the streets, I mean, Gazzer won't let ya.

Yo, speak for yourself young man, yeah?

Talk to me. What you need?

Just a spot to lay my head.

Fuck off, mate.

Does that mean the family's back together then, yeah?

Jay...

just fuck off.

Got it, okay. Sure.

It's like, father-son thing, I got-yup, fuckin' off.

You good?

Keep workin' boys, yeah?

You need a spot?

Here.

That's all I got.

A sign come for ya.

Sí.

27 Mill Lane.

- You ready for stage one? - I'm headin' to the gym now.

Gentlemen, welcome to the home of London boxing.

Behind every great boxer is a great promoter.

And behind every great promoter, is something even bigger.

Something deeper.

And that's where you find the true heart of this game.

What greases the wheels and makes it roll.

To win big,

you've got to be prepared to do whatever it takes.

Cross whatever line.

It's hard work.

You've got to face brutality.

Shit can be scary, bruv.

It can reveal your darkest nightmares.

And that's where you find out what this game is all about,

How far you're willin' to go.

When it's rollin'...

Whoo!

It can gift you rewards beyond your wildest dreams.

So, the only question you have to ask yourself is...

how much you want to win.

Welcome to the Marshall family.

First question please.

Albert Cross, UK Boxing Online.

Abisov is fifteen without a loss,

do you think you can handle his power

and become World Heavyweight Champion?

This motherfucker punches with fuckin' pillows.

Jackhammer's 12-0.

12 K.O.'s, forget that clown.

I'm the bloody guv'nor'!

Hey! Hey! Hey!

It's gon' be first round.

That's all it takes to get this guy down,

that's all it takes...

Maduka?

CeCe...

Wow, look at you.

It's Cebella.

Not CeCe.

I was born here.

I'm as British as King Charles, nigga.

Let's go, let's go, let's go.

This place is...

massive.

- Come a long way. - We have.

Though, not without our share of hurdles along the way.

Yeah, yeah, I heard about your dad.

Um...

I hope everything's all right.

He's fine.

Just away on business. So...

why you here, Duke?

You wanna fight again?

No. No, my fightin' days are behind me.

But I was thinkin' maybe I could work for you and Zeek.

I just...

help train some of the young pups, you know?

So, silence for years,

and then you show up here and ask for a job?

I know how it looks...

No, I don't think you do.

What happened to Calvin was a tragedy.

But what you did after...

how you did it.

The media storm you left for my father to clean up...

nearly destroyed him,

and our business.

That's why I wanted to come back and fix things.

Anyway I can.

After I put you to sleep,

your girl's gonna be wide awake celebratin' the real champ.

I'm gonna slap that booty. What you gonna do?

- I'm gonna slap that booty. - Shit.

Simeon, don't just stand there.

Get the girls on.

O-ok cuz, sorry. Sorry. Ladies, let's go, let's go.

Duke! As I live and breathe.

Hey, you're not back with the Marshalls are you?

No comment, Albert.

But that shouldn't stop you asking the question.

Maduka Kilroy's just been released from prison,

is it true he's coming to work for Marshall Promotions?

Who told you that?

Yeah, that's right.

You heard it here first.

"The Duke" is back where he belongs at Marshall Promotions.

I know you're new to all this,

but the press is here to promote our fight,

not Duke Kilroy.

If this circus is what I'm to expect while you in charge,

maybe it's not time for our fight to happen.

- We have a contract. - I have a contract...

with Kingsley, not you.

Now, you may look the part,

doesn't mean that you can fill his shoes.

Let's bounce.

Zeek, relax bro.

No, nah, nah...

- Hey. - There he is.

- Hey man. - Duke motherfuckin' Kilroy!

The champ in the flesh-...

former...

Mmhmm.

Kinda stole my shine back there, yo.

Wasn't my intention for things to turn that way, man.

But listen, I'm a fan, yeah.

And if there's ever any advice or tips I can pass along,

please.

No, no, Jackhammer don't need no tips.

- Right. - This is lightwork for me, baby.

Zeek, I'ma holler at you later.

Champ!

Former.

Your boys got confidence, I give him that.

You got a lot of nerve showin' up like this.

That little stunt you pulled

may have gotten you through the door,

but it's only 'cause I say so.

You work for me.

I got it. Whatever you say.

We've got an open sparring session tomorrow.

We'll see what you got.

I'll be there.

Du-ke!

Go!

Fuck.

Go, go, go, go!

How bad's your arm?

I'm fine. Let's go.

Sí, jefe.

Duke.

- Hey. - English!

Life on the outside looks good on you, my brother.

Dime, how things are progressing with your role?

Yeah, there was some initial reluctance

from CeCe and Zeek about me being back in the fold,

but I'll be able to work around it.

Bien. And the operation?

Plan's set.

Tomorrow night,

we plant the drugs at a Russian owned warehouse,

then call in a tip to the cops.

Drugs get seized,

the Marshalls blame the Russians for stealing them,

and a very bloody internal war starts.

One that Kingsley will be forced out of his hole to stop

or risk losing his entire business.

And I'll take it from there.

You can obviously see it's such an amazing property.

Wonderfully located as well in central London...

Excuse me, do you do rentals?

Um...

take your time, think about it, give me a ring,

we'll talk numbers, yeah?

- Have a great day. - Thank you.

Thought you were gonna hit me.

Wow, this...

this place is amazing, Joy.

- I'm proud of you. - Two hundred and fourteen.

That's how many times I tried to reach you.

Joy...

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I didn't talk to anyone.

Duke, I wasn't just anyone.

I want to see you again.

Come on. Out of the car.

- All right, I'm comin'. - Come on, slow poke.

Sorry, Mrs. Marshall,

I thought your viewings were over.

- You said eleven. - Hi mum.

It's not a problem, Langston.

We're done.

What's goin' on, little man? You good?

Yeah. Who are you?

I'm a friend of your mums.

Yeah, we grew up together.

My name's Duke.

I'm Aiden.

Nice to meet you.

You too.

L-Langston, I'll be out in a second, yeah?

Go, go with Langston.

Look, Duke...

I gotta go.

Okay.

Here's another look at the CCTV.

It looks like they got one of 'em.

Lot of fuckin' good that did.

Something funny to you?

No, boss.

The fuck you laughin' at?

Funny now?

Zeek...

Fucking mixed breed.

So, this is all we've got?

Some grainy video and a generic white van

that half the people around here use?

Simeon, I thought you were supposed to replace the cameras

around the front?

Sorry, I...

Just wait outside.

I don't know why you keep that fuckin' idiot around.

We just lost three point five million quids worth of product.

Every member of our network is gonna be losin' money.

Yeah...

but what if one of those members is responsible?

Whoever did this had to know

when the shipment was comin' in.

And when and where to hit it.

Okay.

The only way to know for sure...

is to look each one of them in the eye and see who blinks.

He relies too much on his speed.

Leaves himself open all the time.

You're gonna have to work on his defense.

His footwork's shotty at best.

"Hammer don't need no tips, baby."

Sound like you know your boxin'.

- You fight? - Used to.

I'm a little rusty.

- Yeah, me too. - Yeah?

Caught you.

I thought that was you.

Been a minute since I've seen you around the gym.

Yeah, well...

Aiden's always been asking to come to your events.

So I wanted to make sure it's a PG certified crowd.

I see you and Duke have caught up.

- Not yet. - Yeah.

Welcome back to London.

Good to see you.

Yeah, you too, Mrs. Marshall.

I'm gonna get going. I've um...

seen all I need to see.

Before you go, I got a gift for my little brother.

I'm sure you'd agree with my father away,

now more than ever us Marshalls need to stick together.

So, who am I workin' with, big man?

One of our prospects, Kareem Abdullah.

He's fighting on a York Hall card tomorrow night.

All right.

I'll get started with him on the heavy bag.

We're thinkin' bucket support.

I'm sure you'll do great.

They're here.

We should go upstairs.

Hey yo, you used to fight, right?

- Yeah. - Yeah.

Amateur, NACs.

Yeah, same. Yeah.

It's good to see you back on your feet, man.

I know you had your...

struggles, you know?

Listen, you don't know shit about me.

Here you go.

Here you go.

No, no, that's yours.

There you go.

Here you go gentlemen.

That's-that's yours, and that's yours.

Am I comin' through clearly?

We can hear you.

All right then, let's not waste time.

I'm losing money by the minute.

We all are.

Let's hear Cebella out.

I would, but I don't want to be around

the stench of Russian cologne more than I have to.

Watch your fuckin' mouth, Nadim.

Kiss my ass, Nikolai.

I just want to know where's the product we paid for.

We wanted to ask you lot the same.

You lot are the only other ones that know about our shipments.

Listen, Sonny Jim,

I don't like being accused of shit I didn't do.

None of us do.

If we don't get our product or our money soon,

maybe we get our product elsewhere...

My father's product and the price he's willing to sell it at

protects you lot from the market fluctuations your counterparts

in America and Europe are currently struggling with.

That may be, little girl,

but your daddy's not here to protect you.

When we find out who's responsible,

they'll never earn in London again.

Oi!

Don't be bringin' in no crumbs, you hear me?

Mmhmm.

Just finished sweepin' and I ain't doin' it again.

Quarter past eleven,

ain't there some old hag waitin' for you to talk her ear off?

I'm tryin' to talk more than her ear off,

if you know what I mean.

Yeah.

Where's the Duke anyway, I got a present for him.

I ain't his damn secretary, how the hell would I know?

You don't seem too happy the Duke's back.

Yeah, well, I don't like surprises.

It's not a surprise though, is he, he's your son.

Why the hell are you so invested?

Snoopin' around here lookin' for him.

I ain't really ever had a family 'cept you,

Duke, and Calvin, and...

pfft, now I get another chance.

Yeah, I hear you kid.

But Duke ain't the same anymore.

Gettin' odd packages from Mexico of all places,

writin' down addresses.

Look, I'll check on him.

Where's this address that you say he wrote down?

It's in there somewhere.

And then, Oi, get out of here.

- Yeah, yeah. - Shops closed, yeah?

- I'll see ya later Gazzer, yeah? - Yeah, see ya later.

Zeek and CeCe just had an emergency meeting

with their entire network.

That hit has got their cages rattled.

Yeah, so? That was the plan.

Yeah look, about that, I know what was planned but,

I looked into everyone's eyes.

Russians are wrong for this.

We need to target the Albanians.

We're not changing the plan

just 'cause you looked in their eyes.

This isn't one of your boxing matches.

Yeah, it is.

But when you're in a fight and the gameplans not working,

what do you do?

Well, you got to be adaptable to what our opponent does,

that's how we stay one step ahead.

How we make 'em suffer.

Nikolai...

all right, he was pissed about his lost product, right?

But he was respectful, understanding even.

Nadim though...

now he didn't hold back his anger.

Especially about Zeek and CeCe running things.

We frame the Albanians, and the Marshalls will believe it.

They run the stolen car market in London.

Move 'em out the city once a month in shipping containers.

There's one leaving tonight.

We leave now, we can stash the drugs there.

I'll head out back, start prepping the kit.

Hey, don't fuckin' move!

And step away from the knife!

It was you who hit the warehouse.

All right, just...

Zeek and CeCe were right not to trust you.

Hey...

they'll be happy when I get rid of you.

Listen to me, man...

Listen to me, listen to me.

You need to start askin' yourself

some really tough questions.

Like do I really have what it takes to do this?

Am I a killer?

Duke!

Fuck's sake...

Jay...

- No, fuck that. - I can explain.

Fuck that mate.

I can explain.

Who the hell is this?

What's goin' on here Duke?

What the fuck...

Shut the fuck up, man...

And who's this guy?!

The son of a bitch has a recording device.

What the fuck is this? You and him working together?

- No! No! - Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

- Why should I believe you? - 'Cause he's with me.

Well then he's not goin' anywhere.

None of us are

until I figure out what's goin' on here.

If not?

He's dead.

And so are you, Duke.
