THOMAS Go home to your wife, Danny. Try to get all that smoke and mud out of your head.
Danny bows his head.
DANNY Yes Mr Shelby. I’m sorry Mr Shelby.
Danny turns and quickly hurries out. Freddie rejoins Thomas at the bar and in silence they share amusement at Danny’s bizarre behavior. Meanwhile Harry has hurried up to Thomas.... HARRY Mr Shelby, you have to do something about him. Freddie interrupts. FREDDIE Damn right Harry. You pay the Peaky Blinders a lot of money for protection. Thomas grits his teeth. Freddie needles him some more. FREDDIE (CONT’D) You’re the law around here now Tommy, aren’t you? Freddie grabs his beer. FREDDIE (CONT’D) Thomas turns sharply and glares at Freddie. Freddie considers his old friend then raises his hands in mock surrender. FREDDIE (CONT’D) Maybe you’ll have to put a bullet in my head someday too. Thomas and Freddie stare at each other. Thomas doesn’t smile. He grabs his cap and angles it on his head before heading for the door. He picks up a knocked over chair as he goes and calls out so all the customers can hear... THOMAS Bring the bill to the Peaky Blinders. We’ll take care of it. Why don’t you put a bullet in Danny Whizz Bang’s head. Like they do with mad horses.
