In anticipation of the long-awaited Season 5 of Peaky Blinders,

在對浴血黑幫第五季長久的期待之下

we thought it would be good to catch everyone up on what's happened with the Shelby family

我們想帶各位回顧一下謝爾比家族和他們幫派過去幾年的進展

and their gang over the past several years.

是不錯的主意。

It has been quite a tumultuous time, after all.

畢竟是一段動盪時期。

Right then, so, we're going to run through the main characters of Season 1 before we dive in,

好了，在我們進入正題前來快速回顧一下

and we're going to do it quickly.

第一季的主要角色。

Very, very quickly.

非常迅速。

And here we go:

開始了：

Tommy Shelby is the second oldest brother, in charge of the family

湯米謝爾比是二哥，掌管整個家族，

and more importantly, the family business.

更重要的是掌管家族事業。

And for the sake of summary and concision here,

為了簡明理解概要，

he's the main character of this particular program.

他是這齣戲劇的主要人物。

Arthur Shelby is the eldest brother, and Tommy's right-hand man.

亞瑟謝爾比是大哥，湯米的二把手。

John Shelby is the third oldest, and he is also deeply involved in the family business.

約翰是老三，他對家族事業也深入其中。

Then we've got the sister, Ada Shelby,

然後我們有個妹妹，愛達謝爾比，

her communist fiancé, Freddie Thorne,

她有個共產黨未婚夫，佛萊迪索恩，

and also their aunt Polly Gray.

接著還有他們的阿姨波莉格雷。

Polly ran the business while the three boys were over in France fighting the Huns.

波莉在三個男孩到法國攻打德軍時經營事業。

On the other side of the fence you've got Chief Inspector Chester Campbell,

而另一方面還有查斯特坎貝爾探長，

who is a massive prick to the Shelby family,

對謝爾比家來說是個滔天混蛋，

his beautiful undercover agent, Grace Burgess,

他有個美麗臥底葛蕾絲柏吉斯，

and the racetrack-running gangster, Billy Kimber,

以及賭馬事業黑幫比利金波，

who – if we're being forthright here – is also a fairly huge prick.

讓我們坦白點說，他也是個滔天混蛋。

Oh, and also, they're called the “Peaky Blinders” because they sew razorblades

還有，他們之所以會被稱為「剃刀幫」是因為他們將剃刀縫入

into the brims of their caps to use as a weapon.

他們的帽檐來當作武器。

Properly badass.

超級狠角色。

OK, onto the meat of the matter.

好了，回歸重點。

We start in 1918 Birmingham, England

我們從謝爾比家族在1918年

in the charming neighborhood of Small Heath,

英國伯明罕那迷人的鄰近地

with the Shelby family,

小希斯開始，

an Irish-Romani family of bookmakers.

一個賭業者的愛爾蘭吉普賽家族。

But you already know about them.

但你早已聽過他們的大名。

As we discussed, the three eldest brothers run the Shelby Company Limited

如同剛剛所說的，三個大哥在法國打完

after all returning from fighting in France during the Great War–

你所知道的第一次世界大戰後，

you probably know it as World War I,

經營謝爾比有限公司，

where Tommy won several medals for valor.

湯米在戰役中獲得幾枚英勇獎章。

Birmingham is an industrial and downright gritty place,

伯明罕是個工業化且十足髒亂的地方，

and most of the people who live there are hard laborers–

大多數生活在那的人都是體力勞動者，

steel workers and boatsmen and the like.

像煉鋼工人和船夫之類的。

But not the Shelbys.

但不包含謝爾比家的。

The Shelbys have shirked their humble beginnings

謝爾比家族從卑微的出身中崛起，

and are de-facto bosses of the city in which they were raised.

而且他們是崛起城市中的幕後老大。

Tommy wants to knock off the main racetrack bookmaker in the region,

湯米想除掉當地賭馬事業的大頭比利金波，

Billy Kimber, to make the Blinders the largest bookmaking operation around,

好讓剃刀黨成為當地最大的賭馬事業運作人，

and sets out an elaborate plan to enact this.

並為此制定一個縝密的計畫。

Beginning, of course, with stealing an enormous cache of machine guns–

一開始當然就從偷盜數量不少的機槍開始，

which are quite new and fancy and very hard to come by at this time–

槍枝都是全新昂貴，且在當時是難以買得的，

as well as a full lorrie's worth of ammunition, from the local BSA factory.

同時還有來自當地 BSA 工廠一卡車的彈藥。

Since it is suspected that the Peaky Blinders were behind the robbery,

自從剃刀黨被懷疑是搶劫的幕後主使後，

“If you see any guns,

「如果你看到任何槍枝，

check the serial numbers against that list.”

查看清單上的序列號碼。」

the IRA, communists, and British government (in the form of Major Campbell)

愛爾蘭共和軍、共產黨和英國政府 (也就是坎貝爾上校)

are all in town looking for them,

都在鎮上尋找槍枝，

and looking for them very hard indeed.

而且都查得很緊。

With great purpose.

為了偉大的目標。

“What bloody guns, Tommy?”

「什麼該死的槍，湯米？」

Now at this juncture, Tommy purposely starts a war with the Lees,

如今在這緊要關頭，湯米故意跟李家人挑啟戰端，

another travelling Romani family,

也就是另一個吉普賽流浪家族，

and proceeds to use the hidden guns as leverage to play all the parties off against each other.

並計畫利用藏匿的槍當作籌碼，讓所有人互相廝殺。

“What's our mission, boy?”

「我們的任務是什麼，小子？」

“To stick it to the Lee family, Arthur!”

「找李氏家族的麻煩，亞瑟！」

Basically, everyone wants the guns,

基本上所有人都想要槍枝，

but only Tommy knows where they are hidden away,

但只有湯米知道它的藏匿處，

and well, you get the idea.

你之後會知道的。

He's basically untouchable under this particular arrangement.

他在這樣的安排下幾乎是不可侵犯的。

“I'm in your hands, completely.”

「我完全在你的掌握之中。」

“But if you marry her,

「但要是你娶她，

our family and the Lee family will be united forever,

我們家族和李氏家族就會永遠結合，

and this war will be over.

而這場戰爭就會結束。

Now, it's up to you, John.

現在，由你決定，約翰。

War... or peace.”

戰爭...或和平。」

But after an encounter with the IRA at the Peaky-owned pub,

但和愛爾蘭共和軍在剃刀黨所屬的酒吧交手後，

The Garrison goes awry and ends with two extremely dead Irishmen on the floor.

加里森酒吧出了麻煩，且最後多了兩具愛爾蘭人屍體。

Tommy is betrayed by his barmaid Grace,

湯米被他的酒吧侍女葛蕾絲背叛了，

who as I mentioned earlier was an undercover officer

我先前提過她是為該死的

working for the Chief Inspector and the fuckin' Crown.

探長和王室效力的臥底。

So the government recovers the guns, effectively destroying his hand.

因此政府再次取回槍枝，成功地毀了他一手好牌。

Tommy is properly fucked.

湯米完全被擊垮了。

With the investigation into the missing guns all wrapped up,

隨著失蹤槍枝調查案落幕之後，

Major Campbell declares his love for Grace,

坎貝爾上校向葛蕾絲表達他的愛意，

but she rejects him

但她拒絕了他，

as he later learns that she has fallen for Tommy during her time undercover.

接著他就發現她在臥底期間愛上的湯米。

Which, of course, the Major is not too pleased to hear.

而這顯然不是上校願意聽到的。

With the IRA dealt with

要應付愛爾蘭共和軍

and Winston Churchill recalling the Chief Inspector to London,

還有溫斯頓邱吉爾將探長召回倫敦，

but also with no leverage to speak of,

以及沒有籌碼來交涉後，

the Shelby family seeks a new way to protect themselves from Kimber

謝爾比家族找到了新方法讓自己免於金波以及

and his frankly much larger operation.

他顯然更大的行動中受到傷害。

After much rumination and whiskey,

在有了更多的反省和威士忌後，

Tommy settles on John marrying a Lee daughter–

湯米訂好約翰與李氏女兒的婚事，

unbeknownst to John, unfortunately.

且很不巧是在約翰不知情的狀況下。

But meaning that the Shelbys and the Lees are now allied–

但這意味著謝爾比家和李氏家族聯盟了，

which is fantastic news from an organizational-security standpoint.

這從組織安全上的立場來看是個絕佳的消息。

“Yeah, all right.”

「最好是啦！」

The boys seek to stand off against Kimber at the racetracks way out of town,

弟兄們試圖在城鎮外的賽道上和金波對抗，

but are betrayed again,

但再次被背叛

and with the Lee clan en route to the wrong location,

且李氏的人到了錯誤的地點。

Kimber and his men come to Birmingham, right to Small Heath,

金波和他的人到了伯明罕，並直闖小希斯

to kill the Blinders.

要殺了剃刀黨。

And of course there are no coppers about

而那邊當然也沒有警察，

because Major Campbell has recalled them all from the streets.

因為坎貝爾上校把他們從街上召回了。

A tense standoff in the street is ended when Kimber opens fire,

緊張的街頭對峙終結在當金波開槍並

clipping Tommy and killing Danny Whizbang, a good man.

造成湯米擦傷和殺了丹尼威茲班這個好人時。

Tommy promptly puts a bullet in Kimber's head,

湯米迅速地往金波的腦袋裡射了一槍，

declares that they had fought this war one-on-one,

並宣稱他們已一對一贏得這場爭鬥，

and that Kimber had lost.

而金波輸了。

Everyone then disperses.

接著所有人都解散了。

Now for the big Season 1 cliffhanger,

接著來到第一季的大懸念，

which I for one don't think anyone saw coming.

我想沒有人有預想到這件事。

In the final scenes, we see Detective Campbell,

最後一幕，我們看到坎貝爾探長對於

humiliated and furious that Grace has fallen for Tommy and not him,

葛蕾絲愛上湯米而非自己備感羞辱與憤怒，

raise his pistol to her face on the train tracks,

並在鐵道旁向她舉起手槍，

cutting to black before we hear a single gunshot.

再陷入黑幕前我們聽見一聲槍響。

What the fuck?

搞什麼？

Did he kill her?

他殺了她嗎？

Apparently, we will have to wait.

顯然我們必須等等。

But no need to wait too long because, hey, we're already back with Season 2 of Peaky Blinders,

但我們不用等太久，因為我們已回到浴血黑幫第二季，

or at least a brief little retelling of it.

或最起碼能簡短的重述。

We've got all the same characters as Season 1, with a few new additions:

除了第一季一樣的角色外，還新增了幾個：

Finn Shelby, who is no longer a small child but a teenager,

芬恩謝爾比，他再不是個小孩了，而是青少年，

nearly a man, learning the family business.

幾乎算成人了，並開始學家族事務。

Michael Gray, Polly's estranged son,

麥克格雷，波莉疏遠的兒子，

and Esme Lee, now Shelby, the shotgun bride of John from the previous season.

還有艾絲美李，現在姓謝爾比了，是約翰在第一季倉促迎娶的新娘。

We've also got Alfie Solomons, the leader of the Jewish gang down in London,

我們還有艾菲所羅門，他是倫敦猶太人幫派的老大。

and of course, Darby Sabini,

當然還有達比索比尼，

the volatile leader of the Italian gang that controls most of England's capital city,

是掌控英國大都市的義大利幫派喜怒無常的老大，

and just a nasty little fellow all-around.

還有幾個煩人的跟班在旁。

Remember a few minutes ago when I told you that Chief Inspector Campbell tried to shoot Grace at the train station?

記得幾分鐘前我提到坎貝爾探長試圖在火車站槍殺葛蕾絲嗎？

Well, guess what?

猜猜結果如何？

That sneaky lass has a hidden purse-gun and she shot first,

那狡猾的小妞有把藏在皮包的手槍，而且她開槍了，

seriously – but not mortally – wounding him such that he walks with a limp and a cane now.

這對他造成嚴重卻不致命的傷，以至於他需要用拐杖跛腳走路。

Sometimes that's the way it goes.

有時人生就是這麼無常。

And he's a complete tosser anyways.

反正他也是個徹頭徹尾的討厭鬼。

So, onto the main event.

現在回到主要事件。

Several years later, we find the Peaky Blinders in Birmingham's Small Heath,

幾年後，我們看到剃刀幫的謝爾比有限公司在

with Shelby Company Limited running smoothly and making a lot of money.

伯明罕的小希斯穩定營運且賺了不少錢。

But almost immediately – and I mean, like, first few minutes of Episode 1 –

但在下一刻，我是指第一集開頭前幾分鐘，

The Garrison, Tommy's pub, is blown up by the IRA,

湯米的加里森酒吧就被愛爾蘭共和軍炸飛，

who, it turns out, are interested in having him commit a murder on their behalf.

結果發現是他們想要殺了湯米。

Hell of a way to get a man's attention.

真是引人注意的妙招。

Tommy also decides that this, of all times, is the time for the Blinders to move into London,

湯米也決定了這段時間剃刀黨要搬到倫敦，

where the rival Italian and Jewish gangs are engaged in a brutal turf war.

在那裡的義大利和猶太幫派要準備展開殘酷的地盤戰爭。

Suffice to say, there's a lot going on for the Shelbys at the moment...

不用我說，謝爾比家此時也有一堆麻煩事...

“You blew up my pub.”

「你炸爛了我的酒吧。」

...which is not lost on Polly and Esme,

...這裡對波莉和艾絲美也沒有損失，

who are not really on board with the rapid expansion plans that Tommy has unilaterally begun.

他們並沒有參與湯米單方面開啟的快速擴張計畫。

On a brighter note, Tommy discovers the child that Polly had taken from her when she was young,

往好處看，湯米找到波莉年輕時被帶走的孩子，

a teenager named Michael,

是個名叫麥可的青少年，

and the two are – with some trouble – reunited.

而他們在有點麻煩的狀況下重逢了。

“I think she might be my mother.”

「我想她可能是我母親。」

After a tense negotiation, Tommy agrees to ally with Alfie Solomons and his Jewish gang,

在緊張的談判後，湯米同意和艾菲所羅門與他的猶太幫派結盟，

and the Blinders start taking over London swiftly and without mercy.

接著剃刀幫開始迅速且無情地拿下倫敦。

To borrow a phrase from Mr. Sabini,

借索比尼的話來說

Alfie had “invited a horde of wild animals, and unlocked the fucking gates.”

艾菲「請來了一大批狂野動物們，然後還打開了他媽的大門。」

“My face is the last thing you'll ever see on earth.”

「你在世上最後看見的就是我的臉。」

In the meantime, a faction of the IRA has allied themselves with Major Campbell,

與此同時，愛爾蘭共和軍的某個派系和坎貝爾上校結盟了，

who is tasked by Winston Churchill with the assassination of a British military official,

他是被溫斯頓邱吉爾指派了英國軍方的刺殺任務，

and who has decided that Tommy is to be the triggerman.

他決定湯米來當那個刺客。

“There are fucking rules for a fucking reason.

「那些該死的規定是有該死的理由的。

Quite simply they have to be obeyed.

他們要服從的理由很簡單。

All right?”

行嗎？」

The gang heads to London to buy a horse and carry out the task at hand,

剃刀幫前往倫敦購買馬匹，然後執行即將到來的任務，

“Thomas Shelby!”

「湯瑪斯謝爾比！」

and are attacked by Sabini's men, killing or wounding all of the assassins.

接著被索比尼的人攻擊，因為這些殺手而有人死傷。

As it turns out, Sabini's triggermen were no match for Arthur and John's rage.

結果索比尼的殺手敵不過亞瑟和約翰的怒火。

“The pro-treaty Paddies and the King want the same man dead.”

「親約派愛爾蘭人和國王都要同一個人死。」

After a night of violent revenge against Sabini,

在向索比尼進行暴力復仇當晚之後，

“This place is under new management

「這個地方在剃刀黨的

by order of the Peaky Blinders.”

命令下正式接管。」

the Blinders are betrayed by Alfie in favor of Sabini,

剃刀黨在艾菲偏向索比尼時被背叛，

and Arthur is framed in London for the murder of Billy Kitchen, a Blinders lieutenant,

而亞瑟在倫敦以殺害剃刀幫小嘍囉比利凱奇的名義被陷害，

and sentenced to the gallows.

並被判絞刑。

Back in Birmingham, Michael is arrested by Campbell due to the spite he holds for Tommy and his brothers.

回到伯明罕，麥可因為坎貝爾對湯米和他的兄弟們懷有惡意而被逮捕了。

Tommy is able to strike a deal with Major Campbell for Michael and Arthur's freedom,

湯米為了麥可和亞瑟的自由而跟坎貝爾上校達成協議，

even though his eventual plan is to betray Tommy upon the completion of his assasination task.

儘管他最終的計畫是在湯米完成刺殺任務後背叛他。

You see, Campbell is intent on blaming the assassination on a specific faction of the IRA,

你瞧，坎貝爾企圖將刺殺怪罪在指定的愛爾蘭共和軍派系頭上，

which would spark an all-out civil war back in Ireland.

這在愛爾蘭會掀起全面的內戰。

John blows up the residence of Tommy's target,

約翰炸了湯米刺殺目標的房子，

making it possible to move the actual assassination to the location of Sabini's biggest horse race.

讓刺殺的實際地點移到索比尼最大的賽馬場上。

At the race, Tommy is approached by Grace,

賽馬期間，湯米碰上了葛蕾絲，

who has returned from America to tell him that the child she is pregnant with is his.

她從美國回來，並告訴他她懷的孩子是他的。

Tommy departs to kill the military official,

湯米前去殺了那個軍人，

while Polly corners and kills Major Campbell with a single shot to the heart.

同時波莉用一顆子彈將坎貝爾上校逼入絕境並殺了他。

“Don't fuck with the Peaky Blinders.”

「別惹毛剃刀黨。」

The ensuing panic draws all the police away from the track,

而後造成的恐慌將警察帶離了跑道，

and the Blinders move in to take over the betting operations.

接著剃刀黨介入並接管賭賽運作。

Unfortunately, Tommy is abducted by three IRA members in police uniforms,

不幸的是，湯米被三個穿著警裝的愛爾蘭共和軍抓走了，

under the orders of the now-deceased Campbell.

他們是受了已故的坎貝爾的命令。

But as he stands over a rural grave, waiting to be shot,

但當他站在荒野墳墓旁等著被射殺時，

one of his would-be assassins shoots the other two,

其中一名冒充的殺手殺了其他兩人，

informing Tommy that Churchill still needs him in the future.

並告知湯米邱吉爾未來還需要他。

Overwhelmed with emotion,

淹沒在情緒中，

Tommy sets off home to propose to Grace,

湯米出發回家並向葛蕾絲求婚，

telling no one of what just happened.

沒對任何人說出怎麼回事。

And there we have Season 2.

而這就是第二季。

You get to catch up on it right fuckin' away, don't you?

你真是有幸能馬上跟上進度對吧？

You lucky bastards.

你幸運的小混蛋。

As we open on Season 3, two years later, things are going very well for our boy Tommy.

我們開啟第三季，兩年後，我們的湯米一切都進行非常順利。

He lives in a palatial estate outside of the city – I mean this thing looks like a proper castle –

他住在城市外一棟富麗堂皇的莊園裡，我是說這看起來是個不錯的城堡，

and it is the day of his wedding to the love of his life, Grace.

而這天是他迎娶此生摯愛葛蕾絲的日子。

The wedding is beautiful and joyous, but at the reception following the ceremony,

婚禮很美好及歡樂，但在儀式後的招待上

we learn that Tommy has business plans tonight, too,

我們發現湯米今晚也有工作上的計畫，

plans with the Russians.

而且是和俄羅斯人。

And a little killing, too.

還扯上一點殺戮。

For students of history, around this time there was something in Russia called the Bolshevik Revolution.

對歷史生而言，這時俄羅斯發生的事情被稱之為布爾什維克革命。

Communists took over the government, created the USSR, and oh yes,

共產黨接管了政府，並建立蘇聯，當然還有

killed off as much of the Royal Family as they could find.

要殺了他們找出的所有皇族。

Some of the Romanovs managed to escape to the West,

部分羅曼諾夫皇室成功逃到西方，

and these are the ones Tommy finds himself meeting with on his wedding night.

而湯米發現這些是他在新婚之夜要見的人。

The Russians tell him they are interested in protection,

俄羅斯人告訴他基於他們在國家中

given their precarious political standing in the country,

岌岌可危的政治立場上，他們想取得保護，

and while feigning poverty for the government,
