The Gentlemen · Season 2, Episode 5

Joseph "Joe" Green, Hector Rodriguez and others in “A Suburban A-Road on the Outskirts of Basingstoke”

JGJoseph "Joe" Green

We have got a visitor, flown in all the way from South America.

HRHector Rodriguez

[from walkway bridge in loft] Buenos días, Susanita.

SGSusan "Susie" Glass

Hector, you're a long way from home.

HRHector Rodriguez

I wanted to tell you the good news in person. Mr. Vargas says yes.

SGSusan "Susie" Glass

So we're on?

JGJoseph "Joe" Green

You fսcking bet we're on.

SGSusan "Susie" Glass

[voiceover of montage] My father regaled me with stories about the perils of the chop game from an early age. For him, the gap between Class A and Class B drսg was a vast chasm that could never be crossed. His rationale was that cоcɑіnе dealers were like wild animals, capable of anything, and always hurtling towards their own inevitable destruction. However, that doesn't mean the distribution infrastructure he's built in the weed game over the last 20 years isn't perfectly suited to cоcɑіnе. An infrastructure we can take advantage of with the help of some old friends. [in a flashback scene] Chucky, Joe, meet JP and family.

How are we, lads? Beautiful place. Ready?

JJJoe and JP

[toasting drinks] Slainte!

SGSusan "Susie" Glass

[voiceover of montage] Providing everyone involved acts with due discretion. The Duke's attempts to create a lucrative new revenue stream were always gonna come to my father's attention, meaning they were always dependent on his consent. A gift that he was ultimately unwilling to give. Whereas we're just piggybacking on his preexisting operation. So long as my father never finds out, he never needs to worry.

[in a flashback scene] This is not how you clean cash, Suze. You go slowly. There's too much money coming through.

JGJoseph "Joe" Green

Uh, I think it's a problem we can deal with. Right, Suze?

SGSusan "Susie" Glass

Yeah. We'll get on to it straight away. [voiceover of montage] The truth is that what my father was presenting as wisdom was, in fact, masking a lack of ambition that, over time, turned him into an evergreen tree, under which nothing else could grow. As soon as you free yourself from that cautious and inward-looking mindset, the possibilities are limitless, and the only real problem you're faced with is what to do with all that money.
