In the act of stealing the Russian jewels by tunnelling into their vault with his first world war friends, Tommy knows he is able to trust the rest of his family to pull off their parts in the detailed escapade in order to rescue his son, Charlie, and make sure no harm came to him.

As the Shelby family conclude the season with a successful heist and a successful rescue, they are all in a jovial mood. However, only when the whole Shelby family is back at Tommy's mansion, and they are all being paid for their troubles, does he tell them what the real cost of his decision to interfere with the Russian's business is.

Since they have all had a hand in killing numerous people in order to rescue Charlie from Father Hughes, Tommy has brought them together not to be paid but to be arrested for their crimes. Tommy watches as Arthur, John, Michael, and Polly are all taken by the police and thrown into the back of a police van.

Though Tommy does get them all out of being hanged, they still see his actions as a betrayal and refuse to speak to him until Luca Changretta's deadly vendetta rolls into town in the next season.
