Peaky Blinders episode 4 review – who is Tommy’s son?
Episode 4 of Peaky Blinders season 6 started with Ruby’s funeral.
It was as devastating as TV gets.
No one should have to bury their seven-year-old daughter.
Tommy swore revenge, telling his dead daughter: “The devils who did this will pay, Ruby.”
He then found the gypsy Evadne Boswell, who he blamed for cursing his daughter, and shot her dead – as well as three men in her community.
But Tommy’s former sister-in-law Esme Lee Shelby wasn’t finished with him yet…
She told him he had an illegitimate son he knew nothing about.
Esme said: “The spirits just took away your child.
“Now they want to give you a different child, Tommy.
“A daughter lost; a son found.
“Before you went to France a long time ago… You slept with a girl, whose name was Zelda.
“When she fell pregnant, her father threatened to kill you, but you’d already joined the army and gone away to France.”
Pointing to a young man in the woods, she said: “He’s yours.
“The boy born with the hazel eyes.
“The calls himself Duke.”
She then explained that his mother had since died, and that the boy had taken to thieving.
Conrad Khan, star of Baptiste and award-winning film County Lines, joins the cast of Peaky Blinders as Duke in episode five and six.
