Awaken.

Awaken, David Hartley.

Fear not.

The body is asleep,
but thy soul is awake.

Ugh...

Why have you not looked inside?

Looked inside of what?

The sack.

The sack you dragged behind
you like a crucifix, David.

Well, I didn't really want to.

It's full of bad memories.

Aye.

But in it lies your salvation...

..you and your community's future.

So inside, you must look.

The army of salivating men are fast
approaching this valley, David.

So it's time to gather up
our kith and kin.

Right.
Please elaborate a little bit.

Just help me out.

Get me friends and family,
kith and kin. Aye.

Gather them up, bring them together.
Yep.

Then what?

Gather all thy kith and kin

Repair all wounds, repent all sin

Then spill the corpse
of dead man sack

Your kith and kin
will take you back.

All right, go again.
Say that again.

Oh, God. You need to bring your
friends and family together, David.

You need their help
to get the community

behind your philanthropic venture.

And all the crimes you must commit,

you may never take food
from the mouths of babes

and take only that
which you can replace.

Fear not their laws.

Fear not their wrath.

Fear not their king.

For you are their king,
David Hartley.

Yet you know it not.

I tell you no more than that.

But why not?

Cos you're a lazy bastard.

Very nice.

FAINT CHATTER

You're not a bad person, David.
You're not a bad person, David.

You're not a bad person, David.

Not any more.

Greetings. I am David.

I am...

I am one of you.

I've come before you
to talk about stuff.

Morning...

Afternoon.

Morning, afternoon and evening,

depending on how long
this is going to be, I...

I'm happy that you're amongst me.

I've got things to talk to you
about that aren't very...normal.

FAINT CHATTER CONTINUES

Do you know what's happening?

I know what you know.

Wants to have a chat with yous all.

About what?

Don't know.

I hope he's not going back
to Birmingham.

No.

That's how to make an entrance.

HEAVY FOOTSTEPS

All right, pal? Heyup.

All right.

You all right, love?

Hi, Dave.

All right, James.

What's up with you?

Uh, sorry, I just
didn't expect to see thee.

I thought you hated me
from the other day.

Well, I do hate you,
but you invited me, so I came.

I can't remember inviting you.

No, you invite...
You asked everyone to come.

Isaac told me to come.

Well, I thought you
meant everyone, so...

All right. No problem, you're
here now. Thanks for coming.

I'm glad to see you.
You look lovely.

All right.

I didn't really want to talk about
this at Father's wake, so,

I think now's the right time.

I'm going to start by... I
just want to tell you the truth.

I've had a vision,

a not very nice vision,
a diabolical vision.

It's like a drawing of, I suppose,
huge buildings, massive buildings.

And, like...

..rivers that don't meander,
they're straight, man-made rivers.

And of childer crying and
dying in those rivers, and...

..I were in me dying pit
and, and these stag men gave me

some sort of,
like, spiritual elixir.

And I thought I were going to float,
I didn't float.

And once I've got alive again -
if I were dead,

I don't even know if I were dead.

Maybe, I can't say,
not definite dead,

but in between or in like
this state of limbo between...

I don't think it were ever....

I don't think, I know it weren't...

Well, they definitely guaranteed
and reassured me that I wasn't dead.

So...

Sorry, you're going to have...
You had a vision?

Aye.

What do you mean?

Not like a sight vision,

more like a head vision
where you just...

I can't really explain it.

Well, you have to explain.

You actually invited everyone
here to explain it.

Not really. That weren't me main...
That weren't me main...

Well, you've opened with that...
Grace. ..so you have explain it.

Just let him explain, then.
Well, yeah, but I am. OK, then.

I-I appreciate y-your,
um, I suppose inquiry,

but at the moment, I can't explain,
Grace, exactly what's up.

Then you shouldn't
have brought it up.

If you didn't want to explain,
you shouldn't've brought it up.

You brought it up,
you'll have to explain it.

Where were you? What did you see?

Stag men. I saw stag men,

and they showed me
lots of devastation.

They sort of...with me eyes
closed... You saw stag men?

Aye, you know, the fucking
story of stag men?

So you seen these stag men
when you were dead or...

Nearly dead. Nearly dead.
Aye. Right.

You really put me off, Grace.

I put you...
What, just for sitting here?

Grace, let him speak, will you?
Please.

I am letting him speak.
Please. Please, Grace.

Isaac, you're the one
who told me I was invited.

Yes, but you're not
helping, are you?

Go on, Dave.

All right. Thank you, Isaac.

I started walking home.

I came home...

..via visions of future
and the help of these...

..I mean, I could
only describe as stag men.

And I know that
sounds fucking mental,

and I'm reet sorry
if I've offended you,

if you're religious, I get it.

But I suppose these
are more important

than the Bible to me now that...

Dave, this doesn't
sound mental at all.

This doesn't sound mental at all?
No.

Did you just say that, Isaac? Grace.

That didn't sound mental to you?

Abe's taught us that God shows
himself in many different ways.

Oh, come on! What you've ha...
Grace, just shut up, will you?

What you've had is
a spiritual experience.

Go on, tell us about the stag men.
You've got us all here, not me...

Grace, you're ruining
what I've got going on here.

I'm not ruining it.
You're ruining it. You are.

Please, Grace, give him a chance.

Anyway!

So these have led me home,

and they've told me
to turn my life around.

I were a bad bastard
before I went... We know.

..I were a bad bastard when I went.

I've done some awful things -
fighting, gambling.

I were with prostitutes
pretty much all the time.

Some of them are really pretty.

Oh, God. Probably the prettiest
girl I've ever seen,

just had to pay for the privilege
of being inside them.

I was thinking about settling
down with them, or...

You can't do that with prostitutes.

You wouldn't have had
enough money, would you?

The life I led was something
I'm not proud of. Obviously.

And I think I've been given the
opportunity, I don't know why,

why me, why I've been
chosen by these men of stag.

I don't expect thee to
comprehend what I'm saying,

and I fucking hate
doing this sort of stuff,

but I've fucking hurt people badly,

and I'm reet sorry for it.

These have told me I can turn
my life around and do good -

instead of all t'bad I were
doing, I can do good now.

What if they change their mind?

I'm under their spell, Grace.

So we just see what happens? Aye,
we'll see what fucking happens. OK.

How are you going to do good, then?
Right. Let's get to that bit.

I've carried a bag with me.

It came with me all
the way from Brum,

and the man who owned
the bag is now dead.

I killed that man.

I carried this bag with me,
and it's stuck with me,

and I've got it with me now.

And I can sell the contents
of that bag for 30-40 guineas,

or I can use it for...

I used to use it for bad,
and I can now use it for good.

What's in it? It's a die.

What's a die?
It's used to make guineas.

I can clip and make guineas.

You can clip coins?

Aye, I can clip coins.

What's clipping coins?

You shave the edges of coins
and I make new ones.

Out of what? Old coins.

So you're smelting gold?
I'm smelting gold, brother.

You're not making fakes? No.

So it's actually... No. I am making
fakes, but out of the real coins.

Out of actual gold?
Where did you get the gold from?

Coins, any sort of gold I can
get a hold of, I'm using that.

How much other metal do you
have to put in to make them?

No, no, I don't make no bandits.
It's all real gold.

They're pure gold? Pure.

Just like a real guinea, then.

I suppose, yeah.

And how good are they? Really good.

And you made a living
out of doing this?

Aye. Working for a gang
down there, they were...

We used to steal the gold,
and I can't steal no more.

I can't live that
fucking life any more.

I can't take from innocent
people any more.

So you can't clip
coins any more, then?

I need gold. I need... I need coins.

I need as many guineas
as I can get my hands on.

What are you expecting us to do,
go out robbing coins?

No, we need people
to lend us the money.

Need people lend us the guineas.

We need innkeepers,
landowners, bakers,

fucking candlestick makers
to lend us coin.

What do you mean, "lend us"?

They give us 20 guineas.

They get 21 back.
We keep one, they get one extra.

I want to see one.

I'll show you.

You're going to show us
you making one?

And you're saying they can't be
recognised. You won't spot one?

Show us, then. Am I invited?

Well, I'm inviting myself.

Let's have a look.

What d'you reckon to it, Grace?

It's dead annoying.

But it's really fucking good.

Why didn't you just
start with that bit?

I don't know.

But I realise that now.
I wish I had.

Yeah, you definitely
should've done this bit,

this bit's really cool.

That other bit was really
embarrassing. I know.

Will you be nicer to me now, please?

A little bit.

Progress. Have a look.

It's good.

Ah? It's really good.

We're going to be rich.

Aye. We could be, James.

I've shown you what I can do.

I'm going to need you
little piggies to go out there

and rustle us up some coins.

We'll try.

So you're with me?

Yeah. Yeah? Yeah.

Yeah?!

GROUP: Yeah!

Mand, Darya, here yous.

Ah. Ah, ta, love. Cheers, love.

Do you all know what you're saying?
Do YOU know what you're doing?

I'm just having a drink.
Don't say owt unless...

You can do it all, cos you're...
better with things like that.

We're trying to find out if people
are interested, aren't we?

Yeah. We're not saying too much?

That's what I'm saying, don't say
too much. Don't say too much. Yeah.

Bloody hell,

Er...I'm assuming you're

Yeah. Aye. Yeah.

What I'll do is I'll just

however you come.

Er...ladies first. Here we go.

I think it's something
to do with money.

Well, he was spilling coins
out of his...blood.

So this could be it for us.

HE PANTS BREATHLESSLY

Shall I wish for summat,
or shall I just throw 'em?

Yeah. Yeah? All right. There you go.

Ooh, look at that! What's it saying?

Good luck, that.
Is it? Don't want any of that.

KNOCKING AT DOOR

Broadbent, hello? Me dad in?

No. He's barred.

Good. Do you want
tickle or something?

We're shutting up shop soon.

HE SIGHS
No.

Speak for yourself. No, we are not!

I'm not here on a pleasure trip.

I'm here on strictly business.

Oh! Ooh!

And I have a business opportunity
for you, Susie,

that will make your head spin 'round
when I tell you what it is.

Well, I'm all for head-spinning.

Something has happened

that is very, very exciting. Right?

And it's in this village.

An old friend of mine,
who's been away for a while,

who I can't tell you who it is,

because I've been
sworn to secrecy...

Is it David?

No.

No? No.

Is it David? No!

Let's call him Damian.

So, you know that David's back,
don't you? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, we do.

He's put that wake on,
and you must've seen
he had a bit of money...

Aye, he did. ..to pay for that.
Yeah.

And basically, we've got
a business proposition...

Mm-hm. ..and we're looking for
investment.

Mm. Oh. Well... Oh, dear.

Well, we want in. We want in.

100%. Anything, you know.
Yeah, we want to help,

but we've not got much money
to invest. No.

We're looking for investors
at t'minute. Yeah.

So, have you got any...?

No. I've got nothing.

Right.

We've been on us arse.
We've got nowt.

We've got absolutely nothing.

No-one's got coin round here.
You've been around here, like...

Right. Well...
We're going through hell.

You don't have anything
that you can...? Not really, no.

This is what I've got together, and
that's pretty much it, I'm afraid.

That's great. Thank you.

But, um... I'm not...I'm not sure...

I'm not sure that we need
your buttons, Bob.

Oh, no, keep the buttons, Mand.
You take them.

They come in useful.
See you later. Ta-ra. See ya.

Barb, have you got any
more of this, please?

Oh, you're just at a party.

It's thirsty work.
What - sitting there...

You've not said owt!
..ogling people?!

I'm going to cry.
This is so embarrassing.
We can't go back with nothing!

DOOR OPENS

Hiya. Hiya, love.
You all right? Yeah.

MAND CLEARS THROAT

You all right?

Yeah. Um...I've been
hearing whispers

and people have been saying
you're looking for help.

Yeah. Yeah.

Um...I've been working
at t'brothel a lot,

and I just...I don't want to do that
no more, and...

Well, I've saved up some coins.

It's all I've got.

I'm fed up of opening my legs
every night for disgusting men.

And I just want to do summat else.

I don't blame you.

If you give us that,

I PROMISE you,
we'll give you it back.

And then some, and then some.

It's yours.

Thank you.

Thank you, girls.

Thanks. Thank you.

DOOR OPENS

It's not just money, is it?
It's people's lives.

I promised her.

WIND BLOWS

Right, Tom, start a fire, please.

Right, Tom.

Set those edges off.

Far back as possible.

Once you start, it's quite easy.

See that little edge there?

Not too much. Can't make it obvious.

Keep going round.

Further back, the better.
More leverage on it. There we go!

See that?

Let's have a try.

Right, don't waste none.
Get it in t'crucible. Yeah.

Watch your fucking thumb there, pal.

Get in! There you go!
It really hurts my hand.

What we got? Very good.
There you are.

Aye, not bad, brother.

But now, you can tell
that it's been clipped.

Aye, we'll file that down.
This is just practice.

How much more do we need?
Quite a bit.

It's just...you make it look easy.
How you getting on with that fire?

It's coming.

And like I say,
I'm sworn to secrecy,

so I've got to try and tell you
without telling you.

This Damien has come back
into the village...

Ahem! ..with a magic bag. OK.

And when he opens that magic bag,

it's like a flock of birds
just fly out into the sky.

But my job in this partnership is
to go around and catch these birds.

What - after he's let them all go
out of his bag?

Yes.

And I bring them back one by one,
and I give them to him.

And he takes these birds off me

and he grabs the wings.

So they can't fly away again?

No, they can fly, he just takes
a little bit of feather
off each wing, right?

Then he puts it on a spoon...
What?! Yeah.

And he puts it on a heater.

And he heats that spoon up until
all them feathers melt into one.

Then he gets a little pair
of tweezers,

picks the feathers up,
puts it in the water.

And they go, "Tsshh."

What the fuck are you
talking about?!

I think we need to start
looking at this realistically.

I know. Because we haven't
got a pot to piss in,

we've got...these,

and if it were up to Gwen,
maybe a couple of buttons.

So we either start thinking
in a bigger picture

or we go back up to Bell House...

I'm not going... Exactly.

Send someone else in.

Er...Martha Greenwood.
Martha, get in.

You all right, Ally? I'll see
you in a minute. All right, my love.

LOW CHATTER

Well, I have no coin to offer,
I'm sorry I have no coin,

but I have other things
that I can offer you.

Er...I am the widow of a blacksmith
from the village.

Idle, workshy person that he was.

Er...he fell off Hell Hole rocks
in Heptonstall a few months ago,

cracked his skull open,
that was the end of him.

So I've still got all his tools
for metalwork.

Tools?

That is...

It's good to know.
They might come in handy. Yeah.

I've lived here all me life,

and it were old man Hartley
that, you know,

took me under his wing and fed me.

Made sure I had a meal a day.

I wouldn't be here now
if it weren't for him.

My loyalties and my life,

like, belong to t'Hartleys.

I'd love to be able to offer
something in some way,

because this community's,
like, on its last legs.

I mean, we're desperate.
Summat needs to happen quick.

Anything that I can offer.
I can count,

I've...I've dealt with money before.

So any accounting or anything.
I can do a bit of reading

and writing as well,
if you need that, so...

Er...I don't have much to give,

but I can give me,

and I'm more than happy
to do...anything I can.

He takes a little bit of
the feathers off this bird...

DISTANT GRUNTING

Yeah? I'm listening.

How do you listen to that all day?

That's the sound of money.
We love that. Innit?

SHE GIGGLES

It'll be over soon.

GRUNTING
Oh, Jesus!

Fucking hell!

SHE CHUCKLES

All right? All right, Susie,
I'll be seeing you.

Ooh, what the...?!
Watch your head, Bill.

Oh, Broadbent. All right?

All right. Good to see you, lad.

You haven't seen me, don't worry.
Exactly.

Say hello to the wife and kids.
All right, fair do. See ya.

See ya, Bill. See ya, Rose. See ya.

SHE SPITS

Oh, my God!

Was it, sweetheart -
suck and chuck, were it?

Well, he were a bit quick for me.

Sid? In you get, fella.
You all right, yeah? Aye.

I can get in and out of houses,

we all know it, you know what
I mean, like?

You all know I'm a bad lad,
but I don't want to go back to...

You can get in and out of houses?
Yeah.

When you get in and out of houses,
what do you mean?

What you doing, what you getting?

I've broke safes before, I've,
er...been in the big houses.

Are you doing this now?

I haven't done it
for a while, have I?

How do you know you can still do it?

You never lose it, do you?
You still know ways to...

Have you ever been caught? No.

It's just rumours and whispers.

That's why they call me
t'Snake, innit?

I had skills when I were younger,
but I don't really use 'em any more.

What kind of skills? Er...I were
a bit of a wrong 'un, like, so...

Such as...?

Er...getting into places
without being seen.

Right. Houses an' stuff
like that, but...

as I say, it's not something
I do now,

but that's what I had to do
to, er...get by, I suppose.

As you know,
we've got nowt, really. Mm.

But it when it comes to
sort of metalwork,

I've been blacksmithing for years.
That's...that's what I do.

Um...and as far as HE goes,
he might look all cute and innocent,

but he's a little bastard.
I know! I know about Joe.

You were that good at nicking!
No. No, I don't, no.

Tell the truth, Joe.

I'm telling the truth.
Joe, be honest with them now.

Yes, 'course, yes.
THEY LAUGH

That didn't take much persuading,
Joe. It didn't.

That's the best... That's the best
pair we've had in. Yeah.

That's the best pair.
We've got Billy...

We've got three blacksmiths now,
though.

Yeah, but Billy's good.
Billy's actually good.

He's been doing it the longest.

Joe is an amazing...
Yeah. ..pickpocket.

He is. Sneaky. He can get stuff
out of people's pockets.

He's good to... He's good to know.

So, our lovely little James here

has got a business proposition...
I heard bits of it.
..about some birds.

That you kill 'em, you put 'em...

You don't kill 'em.

..and then they fly off again.

You're not listening to me.
You don't kill 'em...

You're not making any sense.
..you trim them.

You trim the wings,
the golden wings. You trim 'em...

Golden wings? Yes, golden.

Beautiful golden wings.

You trim these wings...

I've come from Susie's,
to be honest. Oh, right? Ah!

Somebody passed through
and muttered there was a meeting.

Somebody who? I couldn't see 'em.

Mm-hm. Just, er...

So...? What were they saying?
What did you hear?

It didn't make any sense.
I could just hear, like,

something about,
was it magical birds?

Something about clipping wings.

Ah! Oh! Didn't make any sense to me.

It don't make any sense to us
either, so we'll leave it at that.

Just let me get this right -

you're going to make
golden birds, yeah?

Yes. What we're
talking about here...

..is money, in't it?

And if we're talking about money,
I need to speak to people,

and I need to make a good deal.

For me, for the girls
and for everyone.

I've told you everything I can tell
you. Without telling us anything.

You can go and speak to these
friends of mine. OK.

Where are they now? Yeah.

I'll take you there. OK.
All right. All right.

Get your coats.
Yeah, let's go. OK.

Get Dawn to close up, yeah?

Fucking hell!

Keep going, Tom.

Right, we'll put that in there,

cos that's going to move
when you put it back in it.

Is that in right? Aye, that's in.

Is that the die? Yes. Aye.
This whole thing's the die.

So that matches up with the
one underneath? That's it.

There's an heads and a tails,
ain't there? Yeah, yeah.

Right, so gently, gently, so it...

Right? Aye.

Ready? With this one? No.

This fucker.

Right, you ready?
Aye. Watch your hands.

Flat!

Fucking hell. Here, pick that up.

Oh! Go again?
Just caught the side of it.

All right.

Need that little disc.
This bit's broke here.

I've got them all.

How did that happen?

Thomas?

Don't worry about that, pal.
It's all right, just give it a rest.

What's up? Well, wow!

Wow! What are you like, you,
you fucker?

Wow-fucking-wee.

That's incredible, that.
HE SNIFFS

What's it made of - glass?
I only hit it on t'side.

HE EXHALES

Got another one of them,
haven't you?

No, brother, I haven't, no.

I mean, you'll...
We could make another one.

No, we can't, actually.
The bloke who made it, he, um...

Well, I murdered him.
He's...he's now, er...deceased.

He's no longer with us. Um...

And I-I didn't really
ask him at the time.

You know, cos I stole his bag,
I didn't...

I didn't ask if he had spares
or replacements, so...

It was sort of on a whim,
I suppose. Er...

You're taking t'piss.

I'm not, brother.
I wish I were, I really do. Um...

Yeah, but that must happen
all t'time.

No, it actually doesn't.
It really doesn't.

Oh. Could you not just use that...

..on t'other side?
Yeah, just turn it over.

Oh, aye. It's double-headed.

That's incredible, really.
That's really pissed on us.

So, what...?
That's dire, that, isn't it?

So, what now, then?

So, that's it, Barb,
that's everyone?

Looks like it, yeah.
Have we been helped, hopefully?

I don't know, but I don't think...

Three coins and a button.

We have got every single person
in the village

saying they want to be in... Mm.

But... But not with any money.

Shift up, you. Let me get
a closer glimpse of these coins.

We've got a smithy, we've got two.

We've got Sid the Snake...

All right, come on!

All right, ladies?

Not really.

I've got Susie and t'girls
from t'brothel here. Why...?

We've had a fella in here saying
he could hear through the curtain

you saying all sorts!

I haven't said nothing, right?

I've give 'em a loose little outline
of what we're going to be doing.

It were enough for him
to come down here, so, what...?

Well, he's really, really tried
not to tell us what's going on...

But he's told you everything?

No, we actually don't really know
what's going on! It's confusing.

So we said, can we come
to have a chat

with his business partners?
Business partners?

THEY GIGGLE
Business partners.

Shall I just say it? He's already
told them half a tale, anyway.

Right, Susie, it's coining.
We're looking for coins.

Right!

It has to be guineas.
It has to be gold coins.

How many you talking about?
As many as you can get.

As many as you can get,
but we need ten to make one.

Right. Well, hang on a minute.
Do you need the guineas for good?

No. No. He needs the guineas
to clip.

You get them back and your one extra
guinea back. You get a profit.

That's why I didn't tell them
too much,

cos they're not taking it in
that fast, are they?

Right. So... So you insult them,

you bring them here and then you
insult them. Genius! I'm not...

ALL TALK AT ONCE

Pass me that wine. Absolutely not.

What do you get...? Ten guineas,
you can make one new guinea.

So, you need ten guineas? Yes.

You're talking tens of guineas?
Yeah.

SHE EXHALES

Oh. We don't get that many of them
through, not any more.

We've got wealthy customers,
don't get me wrong.

Who've you got coming in?
We've got the miller, the bankers,

the landowners, the clothier, the...

You get the clothier?
Oh, the clothier.

Yeah.

Can't we just slow it down
a little bit?

Stop whingeing.

# What you know
and what you ought to do

# Where you go
and where you want to go

# What you unexpectedly
run into... #

Two and six.

And before you say anything,
we've had a really good day.

Two and six is everything everyone
has in the entire village.

Everybody's in.

And thanks to Broadbent's
complete and utter incompetence,

I've come up with a plan with
Susie. So we've got an idea.

We've got a way of getting hold
of 100 guineas.

We've got the clothier, and we've
got access to him and his safe.

Because Susie was saying
that Rose has him...

How long does Rose have him in?

About an hour and a half, two hours.

She said he's a right dirty
bastard so they can keep

hold of him for a bit.

So we're thinking that we might
be able to get Joe in,

the pick pocket, to get his keys
to get into his safe.

So we need you to work out the finer
details, because I've said to Susie

on my word that she's not involved
in this, she's not going to get

in any trouble for this, and no-one
will know her and her girls

know anything about it.
So there's that.

And you also need to work
out with your conscience

whether you can do the bad thing
because you're not robbing

or whatever it is he said.

Right. If you're wondering if I've
got a problem with stealing

off the bloke who's been stealing
off my kith and kin for

the whole time I've been away,
then no, I do not, Grace. Right.

But...

..we have got another problem.

Over to you, my cackhanded brother,
who I blame,

don't blame, blame quite a lot.

I've cracked the die. You've what?

What does that mean?

The die, the little metal plate
you need to imprint the coin.

I've cracked it. No coins.

Right. Well, can you fix it?

No, we can't. I can't.

Well, can somebody we know fix it?

I've just been talking to
Billy Vardy in the village.

He's a blacksmith. Can't he fix it?

We need an engraver.

Right. So, have you spoken to Abe?

Abe was an engraver in Manchester.

He's really good. He makes watches.

Have you spoken to Abe?

I've tried. I've spent an hour,
Grace, but he won't listen to me.

He's got a wife and children.
He's a man of God.

It's a criminal venture.
He could get hung.

I ain't including Abe.

So you're not even going to
speak to him?

No! Right. So what are
your options, then?

What are you going to do
about this die?

Can you get a new one?
Can you do anything else?

Aye, in Brum, but I might die.

So you need to speak to Abe, then.

Just because he's a man of
God, that means you can't

ask him something?!

He knows a lot more about
the people around here than you do.

He's seen a lot more than you have.

He's got a heart.
He's got a conscience.

He might want to be involved.

We need to speak to him.

There's nothing else we can do.

I've had every single villager
sat in front of me saying,

"I want to be part of this.
I want to help the Hartleys."

And you're all sat
up here like this.

You're pathetic.

You're giving up?

I've come back with 100
guineas on the table

and you've given up?

Right. So that's it, then?
Are we stopping?

Are we stopping before
we've even started

because we don't dare speak to
someone who's a man of God?

Isaac, you know Abe. I know Abe.

We need to speak to him.

I...I can speak to him. Right.

I can arrange a meet up if David
will agree.

Will you agree, David?

Aye, I agree.

Right. So we'll speak to Abe, then.

And if he says no, you can go
to Birmingham and die.

DOOR SLAMS

That was pretty amazing, that.

I really, really like her.

She's great.

Hey up, Grace.

Now, David, you've changed.

Make it bright and make it happy.

CHEERILY: Hello, Grace.

CHEERILY: Afternoon, Grace.

More enthusiastic.

ENTHUSIASTICALLY: Afternoon, Grace.

With a smile, as well.

ENTHUSIASTICALLY: Afternoon, Grace.

That'll do.

ENTHUSIASTICALLY: Afternoon, Grace.

Afternoon.

Are you ready for this?

Aye.

Darya's done us a whole picnic.

Ah, bless her.

Right. We need to do
do's and don'ts. All right.

Firstly, you need to
watch your swearing.

No C-word, no F-word.

No, obviously, I wouldn't...
I wouldn't even say t'C-word to you.

Right. So that's that.

What if one comes out accidentally -
which it probably will?

If it's accidental, it's fine.

But don't be throwing them in
when you don't have to. No.

Right. I can say "shit",
though, can't I?

If you must but try not to. Do you
know what you're saying? Because

he's going to want to hear you
speak. I am going
to talk about coins.

Right. I'm going to probably mention
the stag men, which I always do.

I wouldn't mention the stag men
if I were you. Why not?

I was going to say that,
don't do the stag men. But it's part
of my truth,

my honesty. And I think it'll help
with the spiel. I think it will help

with the pitch. But it could go
really weird. How do you know that?

Right. If I need to give you a...
I need to do a sign for you. So if

you're doing it wrong, you need to
stop. If it's gone bad... What sign?

I'll do a cough. Do it now, I want
to see.

Well, you know what a cough is.

I want to see if you're
convincing or not.
SHE COUGHS

Aye, that was good. Right, so if I
do that, what do you have to do?

Stop. Yeah. Aye.

So, you ready?
Aye. Yeah? Are you ready?

I'm ready. Let's go.
We're going to be fine.

Right, you carry that
cos that's heavy.

Just try and be normal.

I will be fucking...fucking normal.
No, don't swear.

Madam, please.

Oh, God. Thank you.

Too kind.

Why are you so weird about
Abe anyway?

Because he's right God-y,
Grace, isn't he?

He's not right God-y.
He is just a bit God-y.

He bloody is.

He bloody does sermons and that.

No, he said some nice prayers
for your Dad.

And that makes you scared of him?

Aye, well, he's a vicar if you
saying all that sort of stuff.

He's not a vicar. He must be.

He's not a vicar. Don't be
saying he's a vicar because

that's weird, as well.

Do I genuflect in front of him?
Do not genuflect.

Do I kiss him on his...?

No. Don't kiss him.
Just be a normal person.

I know! I was joking, Grace.

Fucking hell. I know
not to kiss him.

Don't do jokes and don't
say fucking hell.

Like a straight line, isn't it?

Yeah. It's a good one.

WHISPERING: They here. They here.
They here. You need to stand up.

ABE LAUGHS

Afternoon. Afternoon. Afternoon.

Hi. How are you, David?
How are you?

Nice to see you. Nice to see you.
Are you well?

Yeah, good, ta. Good.
How have you been?

Fine. How are you, Grace?

Bethsheba. David. Nice to see you.

Thank you very much. Likewise.
You two sit here.

We'll sit there.

Darya's done us a spread.
Is this yours, then?

Very nice, isn't it?

There you go, my love. Thank you.

Welcome. Thank you so much for this.

Aw, no worries. No worries.
I wasn't expecting this.

It's beautiful.

First meal of the day.

Give thanks.

Amen.

I'm glad you came.

We're happy to be here. Of course.

Isaac told you everything.

He did, yeah.

What did he say, Abe?

He said you needed help with a die.

Aye, that would be true, that.

Owt else?

Well, I wanted to come and meet you
both after we had a little talk.

The thing is, I've been approached
for this kind of work

many times before, and I've never
done it because I've seen a lot

of people get hurt.

I've seen a lot of people
get robbed.

Protection rackets, all sorts.

It's not something I'd ever seen
myself being a part of.

So I wanted to ask what
your intentions were.

Because if this is about greed, self
gain, lining your own stomach...

..afraid it's not for me.

I've robbed, Abe.
I've robbed people.

I've hurt people...badly.

For greed, most definitely.

I did all the things you're speaking
about now. Done them all.

Well, I've had a vision.

I know you're a man of God
and this vision might not go

with your beliefs.

But I've seen things that have told
me that I've got a second chance.

I can help people instead
of being greedy.

I can do things for right
instead of for bad.

I'm not no Jesus.

I ain't no fucking flipping...

GRACE COUGHS
I know, sorry.

I'm not, er...

I did the fucking
flipping swearing, Jesus.

I know. It's fine.

But I can change. And I'm trying
to change and do right.

I want to take a leaf out of
your book.

Like you give to church - what,
bread and pies and that?

What we can.

Aye. I've got a way
of giving people coins.

Guineas.

He could have just sold the die.

He could have just had it
all for himself.

It's not about that.

What do you think, Sheebs?

I'm unsure.

I don't mean to insult thee,

but it's hard to take truth
from a man speaking of poverty

with gold in his mouth.

I understand.

I do.

But I'm being honest.

I'm relying on trust at the moment.

And trust is earned,
and I ain't earned

fuck all, flip all at the moment.

I'm telling the truth.
I can fucking, flipping help.

Bethsheba, do you trust me?

I do, Grace.

He's telling the truth.

And what do the women say?

I've spoke to pretty much everyone
in the village.

Me and all the girls went up,
and everyone's in.

All of them?
People gave their last pennies.

People are desperate.

I need a load of yellow boys. All
they could muster in t'village

was two and six - which is amazing,
God bless 'em,

those are the people I'm going
to help - but it's not enough.

I do believe him.

These coins...

A lot of them are bad. You can tell
they're clipped straight away.

They're not bad.
They're really, really good.

He's really good at it.
I've seen him.

I've seen him do it.

It's hard. Show 'em a coin.
I've got one.

I need people to invest, Abe.

Give me the coins.

We'll get them back a little bit
smaller, mind, but...

..they'll get more coins on top.
That's how it works.

That is very good.

We paid for the wake. We paid Barb
with them - she didn't know.

Hmm.

Where do these coins
come from, then, David?

DAVID SIGHS HEAVILY

You're worried about crime,
aren't you, Abe?

I am, yeah. There might be a little
bit of crime involved, but it relies

on people investing coins.

We'll get them back with a profit

and there'll be more coins
in circulation,

which means our King George III
will be happy.

Well, there is a little element of
robbery involved, and that involves

robbing a horrible bastard who's
been stealing off the village

and my family for a long time.

But he'll get his coins back
with a profit,

and that's what fat pigs like.

Who is this horrible person?
It's the clothier, Abe. Hmm.

I know you won't be mad about THAT.

We need some promises,
though, David Hartley.

We all come to our eternity box
at someday, that I can face.

But this man...

It's not his time.

I can't lose him to any man's cause.
Yeah. You understand that?

I do.

I can make you a promise now.

If anyone's going to
swing for this, it'll be me.

I'll take the blame.

That's the truth, man to man.

There is risk involved, don't get
me wrong, but I'll swing for it.

No-one else.

We're going to do it all
up at Bell House.

It's discreet.

The King don't care for no-one.

This could be an opportunity

to give back much more
than we've been able to give so far.

This is true.

We don't serve anyone that's not
ordained by God in the true sense.

Some have...

You see, you see, every
time we go in that church,

every time we're
handing out that food,

you KNOW what's going on.

We've got nothing

and nothing's comin'.

Nothing good is comin'.

That is true.

What are we going to do?
What else are we going to do?

Yeah.
INSECT BUZZES

OK. Yeah.

Bethsheba.

Amen.

Thank you very much.

Keep prayers over me head.

There's been a lot of hope and a lot
of food since your return, David.

Well, there's plenty more
where that came from.

We'll pray for plenty more.
Aye, you'll get plenty more.

Well, that went well.

Aye.

Do you want me to carry those?

If you want.

Well, you carried them up, so...

But I need 'em back. Aye.
Our Isaac'll pick 'em up.

Can you manage all that?
Course I can.

Little bend down.

Get the basket...

Thanks for today, Grace.

You did really well.
So did you. Honestly.

Thanks.

I'll go, then.

Aye.

I couldn't have done it
without thee.

Honestly, I genuinely mean that.

I know!

All right. All right.

See you, then. See you.

She thee at the heist.

See you at the heist!

Oh, God!

Yes!
