1926- A year later
The tunnels.
Coming back to him as vivid as the days that it happened, Thomas Shelby's war PTSD is back and at full blast.
Hardly sleeping anymore, he dabbles in whatever substance can get him through the night.
Whether it be whiskey, cocaine, or opium, he just hopes that it will keep him from the nightmares of the Germans attacking him, his brothers, and his comrades as they dug miles of tunnels underneath France.Hyperventilating from a WWI nightmare, Thomas Shelby wakes up in a bed full of nude women.
The room smells awful...
Like whiskey, sweat, and the possible case of STDs.His head is bussing wide open from a night of too much coke and liquor.
Tommy takes notice to a brunette prostitute sprawled across his body, trapping his legs, and making him unable to reach for his cigarettes on the nightstand.
Not being able to reach for a morning ciggie aggravates him like nothing before.
He flips her body off of him and into a pile of other women.
The sudden movement causes the tired whores to groan and complain about the morning sun peaking through the curtains.
"Well, ladies..."
Without much emotion, he sighs as he lights his smoke.
"How much do I owe you all for the night?"He's lucky the Birmingham whores didn't rob him blind as he was coked out of his head last night.
But Tommy doesn't worry about things like that, being that if anyone were to ever pinch him off, the Peaky Blinders would have their heads before ever seeing the next morning.The oldest and wisest whore begins to speak up for her girls...
"Four shillings for our time." The madam demands. "Each."
