Peaky Blinders: Tommy’s Saddest Ending Was Revealed By Alfie Solomons
WARNING! Contains SPOILERS for Peaky Blinders season 6, episode 5.
Peaky Blinders season 6 episode 5 saw Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy) finally admit to a sad fact that Alfie Solomons (Tom Hardy) predicted as early as Peaky Blinders season 3. The globally-acclaimed BBC show is coming close to a wrap-up, with season 6 concluding the TV run before a feature-length Peaky Blinders movie concludes the story. The end seems to be around the corner for Tommy, as he has been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tuberculoma. But there's a darker side to Tommy's ending: it took him a long time, but he finally admitted he is a murderous villain like all his enemies.
In the Peaky Blinders season 3 finale, Tommy confronts Alfie for betraying him and indirectly causing his son's kidnapping. Alfie gets enraged at Tommy for saying that he crossed a line, retorting: «How many fathers, right, how many sons, yeah, have you cut, killed, murdered, f*cking butchered, innocent and guilty, to send straight to f*cking Hell, ain't ya? Just like me! You f*cking stand there, you, judging me, stand there and talk to me about crossing some f*cking line.» Alfie Solomons (who has great spin-off potential) reveals something Tommy doesn't want to accept: that Tommy is fundamentally a criminal who will do whatever it takes to get what he wants, just like Alfie, and just like all the enemies that Tommy despises.
