The fourth episode of Gangs of London's second season kicks off with a harrowing scene: Koba ruthlessly burying Luan's wife alive, while a camera embedded within the coffin captures her desperate plight, trapped beneath the earth with no escape in sight. Ed, watching with a somber countenance, accompanies Koba to confront Luan, convinced of his betrayal. Koba, unveiling the harrowing footage of Luan's wife entombed, demands that Luan switch his allegiances and bring over all his loyal followers to Koba's side. Yet, time is slipping away like sand through a sieve, and the woman's fate hangs by a thread.
Elsewhere, Elliot confronts Singer, who insists that the powerful figure extricate him from his dire straits. Should Singer refuse, Elliot threatens to expose everything to the Investors himself. With a deft manipulation of Singer's predicament, Elliot manages to coerce him into cooperation. Despite Singer's promises of transforming the city for the better, Elliot stands firm in his conviction that there is nothing left for him in this world.
Luan, reaching his breaking point, confronts Ed at gunpoint, demanding to be taken to his wife. Ed, though complying, cautions him that rescuing her will only unleash a cascade of further turmoil. Tragically, Ed's warning proves prophetic as Koba's men, led by Tamaz, appear on the scene, having traced Luan's phone and anticipating his desperate move.
Just as Tamaz prepares to pull the trigger, Ed acts swiftly, aiding Luan in battling the encroaching thugs. However, outnumbered and overwhelmed, Luan is felled, bloodied and unconscious, atop his wife's grave. To compound the tragedy, Ed too is captured, leaving the fate of both Luan and his wife hanging in the balance.
With Finn's mistress now deceased, Marian cunningly employs her fingerprint to unlock the financial account, hoping to secure their fortune. However, a startling revelation greets her: someone has already decimated half the funds, leaving a mere 500 million—a fraction, a mere third, of their initial wealth. Without the complete amount, their plans hang by a thread. Yet, Marian harbors a devious scheme.
She convenes with Shannon, urging her to confront Rutherford, the lawyer, in a bid to reclaim the remaining wealth. They reason that the element of surprise will afford them an opportunity to infiltrate and extricate themselves unnoticed.
When Shannon arrives, Rutherford, bags packed and ready to flee, stands before her. But before words can be exchanged, Shannon brandishes her firearm, threatening to coerce him into divulging the secrets. Little does she know, Rutherford has been withholding funds from Asif, and the big boss, privy to his deceit, has dispatched his men to wring every last penny from Wallace's dwindling coffers.
Elliot, entering Rutherford's office unexpectedly, finds Shannon already there, confronted by the lawyer's lifeless body, sprawled in a grim pool of his own blood. Their hands are tied; they must flee together, fully aware that a storm of trouble is brewing in their wake. Their only oversight? Rutherford's secretary, a living witness to their deeds.
As for Elliot, he brokered a deal with Miss Kane—sparing Danny and Shannon's lives in exchange for his loyalty and service. This explains his absence from their side. Speaking of the enigmatic Miss Kane, she appears before Elliot, questioning him intently. She reveals that the secretary has already informed the police, confirming the presence of two assailants. "Do not provoke us, Elliot; you are not irreplaceable," she warns, her words laden with menace, before retreating.
Moments later, Singer's call confirms that arrangements have been made for Elliot and his father to depart the following day. He promptly contacts Sean, informing him that Koba and his superiors are converging for a crucial meeting—a prime moment for Sean to strike.
Sean moved with urgency, rallying the crew and devising a bold strategy: they would split into eight precision strike teams, each targeting Asif's operations simultaneously. This synchronized assault promised to dismantle Asif's infrastructure at its core, and Sean entrusted Lale with the crucial task of orchestrating the attack.
Meanwhile, Billy rescued the helpless child, determined to shield him from Marian's clutches. With tender care, he deposited the young one at the church's sanctuary before hurrying back to his abode. His next resolve was unwavering – to join forces with Sean in their battle against the pervasive gangs.
Elsewhere, Koba demonstrated his ruthless nature by making an example out of Edward and Luan. As all the gangs converged, the atmosphere teemed with anticipation, brimming with the impending chaos. And chaos soon ensued.
Sean and his allies descended upon their targets with relentless fury, their arrival announced by thunderous explosions that rocked the meeting venue. The ground outside was littered with fallen gang members, their bodies lying in pools of their own blood, while Luan, agile and cunning, managed to slip through the cracks and escape. However, this was merely one of many fronts they had attacked, and the coordinated strikes at various points had proven devastatingly effective.
Faz and Saba found themselves confronted by Sean, his gun trained unwaveringly on them. He issued a stark ultimatum: convey a message to Koba that very night – Sean Wallace was reclaiming London.
As the episode drew to a climax, Luan sprinted back to the grave, his heart pounding with hope and dread. To his astonishment, he found his wife still clinging to life, a miracle amidst the turmoil. Yet, Edward remained ensnared in Koba's iron grip, their fate still hanging in the balance.
