Spindoe

You Came Out From Nothing... (1x1)

:

Spindoe is released from prison, and is surprised to find that his deputy Eddie Edwards is not there to meet him. North London gang boss Henry Mackleson is though, and offers him a chance to work for him, which Spindoe declines. Mackleson arranges a 'demonstration' assassination attempt to impress on Spindoe his power, and Spindoe then discovers that his entire savings and criminal empire, (and wife Sheila,) are under Edwards control.
