We put them in the stables out of the rain.
209
The guns hadn't been greased yet.
210
So that's why they sent a cop from Belfast?
211
Maybe, maybe not.
212
Thomas, you're a bookmaker, a robber, a fighting man.
213
You're not a fool.
214
You sell those guns to anyone who has use to them.
215
You will hang.
216
Dump them somewhere the police can find them.
217
Maybe if they know they haven't fallen into the wrong hands, this might blow over.
218
Tell Charlie to dump them tonight.
219
No. He won't move contraband under a full moon.
220
Three days, until it wanes.

234
They have friends everywhere.
235
We'd have to walk to London.
236
I'm with you, cos you're the only man round here not scared of them.
237

253
I'm here about the job as a barmaid. Are you mad?

It was in yesterday's paper.
259

My boyhood friends

Like the melting snow
283
In Ireland, my singing made them cry and stop from fighting.
284
Well, I hope you know a lot of songs.
285
I just want something to happen.
286
babies discarded the fish bones
287
and eggshell girls 11 years old pierced
288
and punctured by old man with strepence of time rotted upon like animals
289
degradation fathers with their daughters brothers and sisters sharing beds beggars
290
and thieves left to run on the streets and astride the whole stinking pile of wounds and rotten flesh your masters
291
the men who you touch your cap to the peaky blinders
292
the vicious merciless gangs who blind those at sea and cut out the tongues of those who talk
293
you are worse than them
294
those of you who have taken their bribes these years since the war
295
those of you who look the other way you are worse than them god damn you for soiling your uniforms
296
and then there are the iraithenians
297
and the communists blacker hearts still they feed on the posts of all this corruption like maggots in a corpse
298
and like maggots have left to swell they will eventually swarm like flies
299
and spread their rotten philosophy across the country and across the world those then are our enemies

333
I'm not fucking lying.
334
All right?
335
I'm not fucking lying.
336
I know.
337
I see nothing of interest behind the blood in your eyes.
338
And no blood in your veins it could carry.
339
Even a trace of conning our guy. But understand us.
340
that is well within my power to have you and the rest of your scum family
341
face down on the canal before the year is out on the other hand we can help each other
342
Is it always as busy on the daytime?
343
Nah, these boys are on the way to St. Andrews. To pray.
344
They're up in a day.
345
St. Andrews is a football ground.
346
The Blues are playing.
347
It's a forward line there.
348
And that's the goalie, believe it or not.
349
Hello.
350
I need a bottle of rum.
351
Grace.
352
Whatever it is, it's on the house.
353
A hold button?
354
Yeah.
355
Where's your dark room?
356
Don't care.
357
Right, lads.
358
What it be to?
359
Thank you.
360
Harry said it's on the house. Are you a whore?
361
Because if you're not, you're in the wrong place.
362
He's one of them you warned me about.
363
Look, Grace, you're a friendly girl, but be careful.
364
If I say something's on the house, then say nothing to whoever you're serving.
365
If they decide that they want you, then there's nothing anybody could do about it.
366
Looking for you since he got back from France.
367
Tommy doesn't want anybody at all.
368
Yes, lads?
369
John whacked the blood out of his eye.
370
Since when did you give orders?
371
I'm a trained nurse.
372
Don't make me laugh.
373
It hurts me face.
374
I bloody am.
375
You went to one first aid class in the church hall and got thrown out for giggling?
376
Not before I learned how to stop somebody from choking.
377
I'm not bloody choking, am I?
378
You will be when I wrap this cloth round your neck.
379

384
He said Mr. Churchill sent him to Birmingham.
385
National interest, he said.
386
Something about a robbery.
387
He said he wants us to help him.
388
We don't help coppers.
389
He knew all about our war records.
390
He said we're patriots.
391
Like him.
392
Wants us to be his eyes and ears.
393
I said...
394
I said we'd have a family meeting.
395
Take a vote.
396
Well, why not?
397
Hmm?
398
Well, he's no truck with fengins. Or communists.
399
What's wrong with you?
400
What the fuck is wrong with him lately?
401
If I knew I'd buy the cure from Compton's chemists.
402
I am just a young girl.
403
I have just come over.
404
Over from the country
405
Where they do things big
406
And amongst the boys I've got myself a lover
407
And since I have a lover I don't care fig
408
The boy I love is up in the gallery
409
The boy I love is looking at me
410
Can't you see him standing there waving his tankerchief
411
As merry as a robin that sings on the tree
412
We haven't said singing in here since the war
413
Why do you think that is, Harry?
414
Oh, my God.
415
So did Arthur say, er, what kind of a deal this new copper up with him?
416
God, but the second your balls are empty, it's back onto politics.
417
What did Tommy say?
418
He didn't say anything.
419
You know what he's like.
420
Yeah, I know what he's like.
421
He likes to take his fights onto the mud.
422
He doesn't like to stand and wait.
423
You know what he'd do if he found out about us?
424
He could try.
425
Sometimes it's like you're with me just to show you can.
426
One day me and Tommy will be on the same side again.
427
Thank you.
428
I don't know.
429
Come on!
430
Come on!
431
No!
432
No!
433
No!
434
I don't know what you're doing.
435
Hey, what you do?
436
We're closed.
437
Where did he go, mate?
438
Go home, crazy man.
439
Where did he go, mate?
440
I say go home, crazy man.
441
Where did he go, mate?
442
I said go home.
443
I said go home, crazy man.
444
Where did he go, mate?
445
I said go home.
446
Fixed by your legs!
447
Oh, yes, no!
448
Oh Secretary
449
of State, this is Chief Inspector Campbell.
450
Mr. Churchill, sir.
451
May I say what a great honour it is to meet you?
452
Bit of a whistle -stop tour.
453
Love the hat, by the way.
454
Thank you.
455
It's Beaver.
456
So, are you settling in?
457
I've set up a command network.
458
I have agents and police across the city who will act as my eyes and ears.
459
And I've begun to interrogate suspects vigorously.
460
You were in Belfast.
461
I understand you broke a few Fenian hearts.
462
A rat's nest, sir.
463
So who do you think stole the guns?
464
The Fenians or the Communists?
465
If it is the IRA Fenians, I will find them and find the Gaunts.
466
If it is the Communists, I will find them and find the Gaunts.
467
If it is common criminals, I will find them and find the Gaunts.
468
To me, there is no distinction between any of the above.
469
We chose you because you're effective, but remember this, Mr. Campbell.
470
This is England, not Belfast.
471
Bodies thrown in the rivers wash up in the papers here.
472
We must keep the existence of these stolen guns out of the news, otherwise we're simply advertising them for sale.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
