Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man ending explained

Set six years after season 6, The Immortal Man follows Tommy Shelby’s return to Birmingham to save his illegitimate son Duke after Ada is assassinated. Tommy and Duke team up to stop Beckett’s Nazi-backed plot to flood Britain with forged currency, using canal boats packed with explosives to destroy the money and ambush Beckett’s men.

Flashbacks reveal that Tommy killed his brother Arthur by choking him in a car during the years between season 6 and the film, and the earlier death of his daughter Ruby sent him into self-imposed exile. Kaulo promises Tommy ‘peace’ if he saves Duke, but that peace is revealed to be death: she pushes Duke to kill his father so he can lead the Peaky Blinders.

After blowing up the counterfeit stockpile and a violent shootout, Tommy is shot by Beckett, kills Beckett, and then asks Duke to shoot him so Duke can assume command. Duke shoots Tommy; Tommy dies and is cremated in a traditional Romany funeral pyre while Kaulo retrieves the manuscript he had been writing, titled The Immortal Man.
