Soon as she's asleep,

I will be quiet as the mouse.

Thank you for your

- Of course. Mr. Pennyworth.
- Thanks.
- Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Wayne.
- All good?
- Sorted.
Tea's ready if you'd like some.
Milk and sugar are on the tray.
Oh, thanks, Gladys, but I think
we're all ready to hit the sack.
Uh, she means sleep.
- I think we're exhausted.

No, you're not. You can

Hello. Wayne residence.
Of course. I'll fetch him for you.

Thank goodness I found you.

All right. Thanks, Mr. C.

Lucius in a spot of bother.
Uh, Mrs. P, would you
Yeah. Come on, Sam.
Let's go run a bath.

Lucius said, "Mayday, mayday.
Level 7," then got cut off.
Lucius would only use the mayday
signal if he was in real danger.
I'm sorry, what's, um what's Level 7?
It's an underground Army facility.
Finding new and fiendish
ways to weaponize P-dubs.
Lucius was trying to gain access.
Oh, for Christ's sake. What a bad
idea. Why would he do that?
Because something bad's going
on down there. Something evil.
- Like what?
- W I don't know.
They're trying to make weapons
out of human beings.
Meaning you don't really
know what's going on.
That's why Lucius went down
there: to find out the truth.
And I kind of
encouraged him a bit, so
Oh, Jesus, Martha.
- [LOW RUMBLING]
- [TENSE MUSIC]
♪
And you're quite sure
that's what he said.
Certain, sir.
Mayday? How strange.
Isn't it?
So I'll look into that for you
if you give me permission
to go to Level 7.
Level 7 is, as you very well know,
an entirely Army operation.
I have no say in the matter.
Relations between the
government and the Army
are in a fragile state at the moment.
Hostile, in fact. Extremely hostile.
Sir, Lucius is being
held against his will
because he knows the
truth about Level 7,
- and I fear for his life.
- Possibly true,
but we don't know it to be true.
- I can't act on possibility.
- B-but
However, if some independent
entity or person,
without my knowledge or consent,
were to establish the facts
and found, by whatever means,
that there were crimes
going on down there,
then the police and the high
courts would take the lead,
not this office.
Which would not make me unhappy.
Got it. Have I got it?
[SIGHS] I do hope so.

He's given us the green light.
- Th-the green light?
- To go get Lucius.
What do you mean?
There's nothing we can do.
I mean, w-we can get
him a lawyer, but
The prime minister has just
given us tacit permission
- to go in and rescue him.
- Rescue him? How?
However we can.
I have a security pass for Level 6,
so from there, I'm sure we can
find a way down to Level 7.
I can't believe I'm hearing this.
We have just rescued our daughter
from the clutches of a maniac.
That's enough drama for
one week, don't you think?
I'm with him.
Lucius is a friend in danger.
- I have to do this, Thomas.
- Martha
And they're hiding
something awful down there.
- That's none of our business.
- Well, it is my business!
Those poor souls are my
business because it's my job!
Yes, yes, you're a secret agent,
but you're also a wife and a mother.
And you're part of a family,
a family that's just been
through a serious trauma.
Well, I'm also a friend to Lucius.
And you'll be here to look after Sam.
So
also, I don't know what else I can do.
Fine.
Fuck this. Go be a go
be a secret fucking agent.

Please wait.
- Thomas! Thomas. I'm sorry.
- [SIGHS]
Sorry about what?
I am who I am, Thomas.
Yeah.
- You're a little crazy.
- [LAUGHS] Yeah.
But, honey, look who's talking.
I just wanna go back to
being a normal family.
Well, maybe that's not possible.
Maybe we should accept
that we're not normal.
Accept that we're a strange,
fucked-up family.
Just embrace the fuckery.
No. No. I vote on going back
to being a normal family.
You mean stand by and do
nothing when we could help?
Is it really such a bad idea?
Just this once?
No. No.
You're gonna go ahead and
"do the right thing," aren't you?
Lucius is in trouble because of me.
I have to go. You know that.

Why do we have to go out there?
Couldn't we just hide in here somewhere?
No, they're all over the

I don't want to go out there.
Trust me. You're safe as houses.
I don't trust you. That's the problem.

Fair play, but listen. With this sort
of business, you can trust me.
Look, I'm not gonna let any harm
come to you or our child.
Never. I promise.
All right. But just 'cause
I'm coming with you now

Or together or anything.
As far as I'm concerned, we're over.
Yeah. All right. Whatever you say.
- Now come on.
- Exactly. Thank you.
- You've proved my point.
- What point?
[SIGHS]
"If you say so."
If you did love me,
you'd tell me I'm wrong.
- You'd fight me.

We're escaping from a mob of

Did you love her too?
