Early next morning, The gang had been sitting around the table to discuss updates and what had been the next move. Janik's son called him to inform him more men from New York had arrived in Birmingham. They needed to end this before things got worse. "We need to use someone as bait," Tommy began, "And as much as I hate doing this, Jess and I have spoken about this and we feel she would be the best bait." Before anyone could speak Michael immediately spoke up and did not agree. "No, we are not doing this to Jess again." He turned and looked at her, "How can you think this is ok?" He was angry. This was a decision he would have liked to discuss with her. Michael stood up. "No. I am not allowing this." "Michael," Jess said pleading. He turned to her and grabbed her face, "Look at me, the thought of losing you again scares the shit out of me I can't let you do this." By now Michael had tears coming down his face. Janik took a puff from his cigar. "Michael," he spoke, "Listen son. Tommy and I thought this one over. I don't want to do this as much as you, but this plan," Janik said pointing to Jess, "This can end this crap. This can end all of this so we don't have to have meetings for this reason anymore. Michael I promise you, we wont allow her to get hurt. I need you to trust me." Michael took a deep breath. Did he really have an option. It seemed like they already made their decision. He shook his head yes.
Greg Blake walked into Charlie's yard. He was ready to end this right here. It had been a long month. He was going to get the business and then the girl. Whether Jess liked it or not, Greg Blake was going to take her back to the states. He first needed to make things right with her. What had happened in that alley was not what he wanted to do. He had been following her all day. This was the first moment she had been alone. He walked into Johnny's yard slow. He knew there was only one way in and one way out and he would be walking out with her. With more men here with him from New York, this would be much easier for him to get the job done. He rounded the corner and stopped cold. His face turning white like a ghost. Standing there was his father and Thomas Shelby. Behind them sat Polly, Ada, John, Arthur, Finn, Janik, and Jessica. "What, what are you doing here father." Greg looked nervous. No one had seen this side of him before. "I could ask you the same thing Greg. What the fuck have you been doing here. And you brought Erik into this. And he's in a fucking sling right now?," Mr. Blake said pointing at his younger son. "Dad," Greg began to speak. "No. Don't speak I am doing all the talking. Mr. Shelby right now is going to explain to me whats been going on here and then you are going to tell me whether or not what he's telling me is the truth."
Tommy started, "Well Mr. Blake, for the past month Greg has been here, its been a little bumpy." He took a pull from his cigarette. Arthur laughed at hearing 'bumpy'. Tommy shot him a look. "I'm sorry, continue Tommy." "First, he followed Michael and shot him three times. Twice in the chest and once in the shoulder." Tommy took a big pull of his cigarette before continuing. "Next he sexually assaulted Jessica." Tommy was cut off by Mr. Blake. "I'm sorry did you tell me he sexually assaulted Jessica Swavorski?" Tommy took another pull of his cigarette, "He busted her lip open and well... I won't say the rest because our family is trying to move on from that horrible act." Mr. Blake turned and looked at Janik and Jessica. His face was stone and he looked beyond angry. "Mr. Swavorski I just want to give you my deepest apologies for what my son has done to your daughter." He turned towards Jessica,"And Jessica, I did not raise my son to ever, and I mean ever lay a hand on a girl like he did to you." Tommy pointed at Erik Blake, "Unfortunately Mr. Blake, thats when he had gotten shot." Mr. Blake looked down and shook his head in disappointment, rubbing his eyes with his fingers. "Erik get over here," Mr. Blake demanded. Erik walked up slowly clearly scared of what his father was about to do. He looked up at his father, "Look at me and listen to my words. What your brother is doing it will get you killed do you hear me?" Erik shook his head yes. "Every time you hang out with him something bad happens. Every time you're with him, you end up getting in trouble. You told me you were traveling to Europe with Bryce and you lied to me. We don't lie to each other thats our rule and you know that." Erik looked down his voice breaking, "I am so sorry dad." Mr. Blake continued, "I've told you this before and this time I am following through. We are done with your brother do you understand me?" Erik looked up and shook his head yes again. "Get behind me now." Erik slowly walked and stood behind his father.
"Dad you're not serious," Greg said. Mr. Blake started to walk towards Greg. "You know what Greg, your whole life I have been helping you get out of trouble. Your whole life I've sat here and gave people money to keep you from going to jail and getting killed. Do you want to know how I found out you weren't doing something good here?" Mr. Blake yelled, "Do you want to know fucking how? Because your mother fucking called me and told me there was a man in our house with a gun to her head because of something you have done! I cant even fucking blame these people because of what you've done." "Dad, I I, I didn't know," Greg stuttered. "You didn't know? You didn't know almost killing someone and then assaulting a girl would go unpunished? You should be on your knees thanking these people that they didn't kill your mother." Mr. Blake lifted up his arm and pointed to the men behind Greg. "And these men. Do you even know them and where they come from? Funny because these men that have came here to help you are all apart of the Swavorski family." Greg turned around and looked behind him. All the men walked forward and stood behind Janik. Greg's face was in total confusion. He thought these men were here to help him take out the Shelby family and then take over the Swavorski family. Mr. Blake calmed down a little bit. His demeanor softening a little. He shifted back and forth before speaking, "Greg, your mother and I discussed, we cant do this anymore with you. We cant keep protecting you. This was the final straw. You did a horrible thing to these people and by the grace of god instead of killing your mother, they spoke to me about everything." Greg started to beg, "Dad please don't do this please." "Dad" Erik pleaded in the back. Mr. Blake walked towards Greg one more time and hugged him. Tears were falling from Mr. Blakes eyes. "You don't know what you could of done to our family if you followed through with your plans. You put us all in danger. We are done." He began to walk towards Tommy and put out his hand. Tommy lifted his hand and shook. "Lets go Erik." "But, but but dad," Erik stuttered starting to cry. Mr. Blake walked towards him, tears coming down his own face he hugged Erik and whispered in his ear. Erik nodded his head and walked off with his father.
The women began to walk away. Greg Blake shouted, "Come on Jessica you're not going to stay to watch this?" Greg had a cocky grin on his face that changed when the men began to surround him. Greg lifted his arms, "What whose going to fuck take it. Take the shot right now. Fuck you all." No one moved. "Tommy fucking Shelby will it be you?" Greg said taunting Tommy. Tommy lifted up a cigarette to his mouth, and took a pull. He blew out smoke and shook his head no. He looked up and pointed, "he will". Greg turned around. Michael shot him in the left leg and then the right leg. Greg fell down to the ground screaming in agony. Michael walked up to him kicking him in the face and Greg fell to his back. Greg was bleeding from his nose and began spitting out blood . "This is for what you did to me." Michael Shot him in the both wrist. "You fucking piece of shit," Greg screamed out. Greg was spitting up blood. Michael laughed then kicked him in the stomach. "And this.." Michael stepped over lining up above his head. "This is for what you did to Jessica. You were never making it out alive after that. Don't fuck with the Peaky Blinders." He pulled the trigger. Boom. Last bullet in Greg Blake's forehead. Michael moved to the side and looked up and nodded at everyone. Johnny and another walked over to Greg Blake and picked up his body and moved it into the back of a wagon and covered it. The guys walked towards each other. Tommy spoke, "Lets go tell the girls this is finally done." John patted Michaels back and Arthur followed suit. Michael walked toward the river and stood there letting the moment escape from his body. All the anger and hate he had. Janik walked up towards him looking at the river flowing. "Let's move forward with life son. This tough time is over, lets move towards happiness." Michael turned towards Janik, "My happiness is your daughter." They smiled and started to walk in the direction of the pub.
The Shelbys and Swavorski's finally felt like they were at peace. They were at the pub for the first time in a long time. They sat at the bar laughing and enjoying the night, something they haven't been able to do when Greg was around. They ended the war with the Blake's and they could finally move forward with the expansion of their businesses. Standing around the table, Tommy lifted up his drink to toast everyone. Janik took a sip of his whiskey. He looked over at his daughter and smiled at how amazing of a person she was becoming. In the past year, there had been so much change in her life and she handled it with such grace and confidence. Suddenly, he started to feel that pain in his chest again. He grabbed his chest, this time the pain not going away. His vision became blurry. He lost his footing and began to fall backwards. He could hear in the background, "Dad?" His head hit the ground. Jess was hovering over him. His eyes lids became heavy, he was trying to keep them open. His hand was still grabbing his chest. "Dad! Someone help me please." And then it became dark. And everything went silent.
