The Scene

My choice of the scene was a scene from Peaky Blinders, Season 3 Episode 6. In this scene, Thomas Shelby, Played by Cillian Murphy,  meets with a business party, Alfie Solomons, played by Tom Hardy, to do a trade, in which Alfie hands Thomas several lists of things he asked for in return for money. So he hands Thomas all the men in England who he would go to if he had a Faberg egg. Another List includes the names of all the men in England who would still buy it knowing it was stolen. And the final answer, all the men in England who would buy it to quench their wives obsession. The Scene escalates when Thomas notices there's a name missing off the list, the richest man that should've been on the list, to which he pulls a gun, the tension in the scene rising further. Before Thomas lashes out at Alfie, screaming about how the people Alfie had done a deal with, as in hiding the name, are using his only son against him. Alfie Explains, and Thomas tackles him, the scene enticing into a mini-fight scene as the two scream, before Michael Shelby, played by Finn Cole, shoots Alfie's henchmen in the head, blood splattering over Cillian Murphy, in a graphic way of blood and gore. Alfie yells, confused about what's going on, before Cillian stands up again, still aiming the gun at him. Michael steps in between the two as to avoid conflict. Alfie then goes on a monologue about honour and Thomas. After the monologue is over, Thomas tells Michael to call the local police inspector, as he turns around, picking up the names left by the henchmen's body, as he walks back, the scene ending. 

Trivia
