Tommy had a long list of regrets, but he truly regretted ruining Lizzie’s life by marrying her. Tommy thought of himself as a living curse who burnt everything that he touched, even his family. He was not a man who could provide a normal life to his wife and kids. He was a cold blooded killer. He was a Peaky Blinder.

In this brutal scene we see Jack Nelson for who he truly is. A merciless man who could easily hit below the belt to get his way. He uses Billy’s cowardice to make him an informant against Tommy and kill Arthur and lets him know that the price of failure would be his manhood.

Charles was just a kid who was also recovering from losing his sister and was now faced with the agony of his parents splitting up. Charles loved Lizzie and did not want to let her go. She was more of a mother to him than Tommy was a father.

Charlie was a loyal member of the Peaky Blinders. When showing Duke around the armoury, he told him that no matter the size of the enemy, family always comes together to fight the threat off.

Duke was a new member to the gang. He had his own principles and morals. He did not understand the need for unnecessary killing at the gambling shop. Charlie slams his moral compass with the above words, stating the fact that he is still just a soldier.

Alfie is someone who always lightens the mood whenever he comes on screen but he has some of the greatest words. Alfie had been dead and away from the society for a long time. People like him can have a different outlook on life.
