The second episode of the first season of Gangs of London premiered on April 23, 2020 in the UK, becoming available on demand on Sky Atlantic.

Synopsis
The taps are off for all gangs in London except Asif Afridi, so frustrated Kurdish gang leader Lale decides to hit a shipment of his cows that are being used to smuggle heroin. Elliot makes a connection with a key member of the Dumani family. Sean unleashes his fury after he makes a discovery about his father’s murder.

Plot summary
A series of flashbacks reveal that Finn took a young Sean out to the woods to commit his first murder. When Sean was unable to follow through with it, his older brother Billy killed the man instead. In the present day, Billy is the black sheep of the family as a gay recovering heroin addict who is kept out of the business. While at an orgy in a hotel room, Billy sees an acquaintance shooting heroin, and demands to know where he got it. Lale, the leader of the Kurdish gang, finds a new international source for heroin, stealing it from her Pakistani rival Asif's overseas business then having it shipped to London. Asif, whose son Nasir is running for mayor, requests that Sean reopen trade with him exclusively during his shutdown, but Sean refuses to budge. Elliot is assigned to drive Ed Dumani's daughter Shannon, and the two share an immediate spark. Luan meets with Ed and provides him with photos of a secret Finn had kept even from Ed and his family. Kinney approaches Sean, requesting mercy for his son, but Sean refuses. Billy goes missing and Sean tracks him down with help from Elliot, revealing that rather than scoring heroin, Billy was able to identify the dealer as the Kurds, revealing Lale's continued business despite the shutdown. Sean, however, still chastises Billy for doing something so dangerous. Later, Sean leads an attack on Kinney's Traveler encampment, killing dozens, but Kinney escapes.
