Stanley Johnston's assistant, Emory Stevens (Alexis Rodney), encounters Eddie Horniman and proposes a profitable arrangement.

Emory requests a list of thirteen lords whose estates are utilized by the Glass family for their illicit operations. He further explains that Stanley aims to utilize this intel in negotiations with Bobby Glass (Ray Winstone), undermining the secrecy that shields the Glass empire.

In return for the names, he pledges protection and freedom for Eddie and his family from the Glass family.

Eddie queries his mother about knowledge of the lords' names, but she denies any awareness. However, she directs him to Tibsy, a fellow member, who provides him with a diary containing the information.

Later, Eddie meets Stevens and provides the list. Upon receiving it, Stanley (Giancarlo Esposito) instructs Henry Collins (Max Beesley) to take whatever actions he deems fit against Jack Glass (Harry Goodwins) and Susie Glass (Kaya Scodelario).

Meanwhile, Eddie meets Bobby, acknowledging his alliance with Henry and Stanley.

Susie lures Henry to the hospital and attacks him. In his final moments, he tells Susie that Eddie double-crossed her.

Furious with the revelation, Susie contacts Gospel John (Pearce Quigley), revealing that Freddy killed Tommy Dixon (Peter Serafinowicz), and the Horniman brothers covered up the crime.

All eight episodes of 'The Gentlemen' are available to stream on Netflix
