However, this wasn’t the only shocking interaction of the episode as Tommy’s health cast a dark shadow over his future.

Towards the end of the episode he bid his family farewell, without revealing where he was going.

A month later Tommy was seen in the countryside alone with a gun, contemplating ending it all before his disease catches up to him.

However, one final revelation stopped the famous gang leader in his tracks.

After having a vision of his late daughter and spotting a telling photo in the newspaper Tommy discovered his doctor had lied to him.

In the final moments Tommy went to the doctor for revenge fuming: “I’m guessing you people all decided that the only person who could ever kill Tommy Shelby is Tommy Shelby himself.

“You made me believe death was coming, let my nature do the rest eh?” He said, while holding the doctor at gunpoint.

However, shortly afterwards, the clock turned to the eleventh hour and Tommy decided not to pull the trigger.
