"Tommy tells his visiting sister Ada that while he knows he's not being present for either of his sons, 'I was never a father, Ada, I was a form of government. I no longer believe in government of any kind.' This reveals Tommy's philosophical shift and acknowledgment of his failures as a parent."
"The Immortal Man begins by introducing the very real Operation Bernhard, a Nazi plan to destroy the British economy by flooding it with counterfeit banknotes, manufactured by concentration camp prisoners. Overseeing the campaign is Beckett, a Nazi collaborator who needs local help in distributing the fake money and accordingly hires Tommy's older son Duke to assist him."
Set in 1940 England during World War II, Tommy Shelby has retreated from his gangster life to write a book, believing he was never a true father but rather a form of government. His son Duke now runs the Peaky Blinders gang and becomes entangled with Beckett, a Nazi collaborator overseeing Operation Bernhard, a real historical plan to destroy the British economy using counterfeit banknotes made by concentration camp prisoners. Tommy is drawn back into action by Kaulo Chirklo, a Roma woman connected to his past through her deceased twin sister. The film explores Tommy's internal struggle with his violent choices and lasting regrets while maintaining the series' tradition of weaving actual historical events into its narrative.
