PSYCHO!JOHN

Narrowly escaping with her life from the bloody kitchen ruled by Mr. Solomons, Mrs. Shelby runs upstairs and locks herself in the first room she finds. It isn't until she bolts the door and rests her back against it that she sees her younger brother-in-law, John, on the floor, sitting astride a poor struggling woman dressed as a maid. He's in manic ecstasy, laughing like a deranged madman as he slashes her face without restraint. "She's a copper, you see." He says and sits back sloppily, chest panting with exertion. Mrs. Shelby simply stares in horror, listening to the wild thumping of her own heart. "Anyway, we're Peaky Blinders. We're not scared of coppers. If they come for us, we'll cut them a smile each."
