You'll still be the father,
but I'm doing it on me own.
You're serious.

I was too thick to understand

They went crazy, and

Please. Help me.
Fine. Let's go.
What you have to know is, the
whole time I was in Gotham,
every minute all I wanted to do
was to come home to you and Sam.
So why didn't you?
Why didn't you at least call?
You know why.
Oh, my God.
You did it.
You killed your father.
I knew that you knew.
And I knew that we would have
to have this conversation.

- How could you, Thomas?
How could I?
He tried to get me to kill you!
Here! In our family home!
And then what, he just he just
walks away like nothing happened?
Can you imagine what would have
happened if you went to jail?
What that would have done to us

Okay

Here's the thing, Thomas.
The fact that you killed your father?
I'm okay with that. But that
you put your family at risk
so you could what?
Feel better about yourself?
I'm not okay with that.
Oh, really?
That's where you draw the line?
How long did you lie
about your work with MI5?
Putting our family at risk so
you could play secret agent.
That's completely different.
What was I supposed to do, Martha?
Let him get away with it?
I couldn't live with that.
Neither could you.
- That's not true.
- Oh, like hell.
Before I left, you could
barely look at me.
Oh, so is that why you killed
your father, Thomas?
So that I would think
you were more of a man?
Maybe!
Maybe part of being a man
is protecting the people you love.
By putting them all at risk?
Is that what you call love?
And you wonder why I couldn't come home?
I love you, Martha.
I love Sam. I love our life.
Tell me how I can fix this!
Honestly, I don't know.
