Mr. Pennyworth, I'm Martha Kane.

How can I help you, Miss Kane?

MARTHA: I need a driver-bodyguard.

Your advertisement says "ex-military."

[YELLING]

10,000 quid.

And she's got plenty more work for us.

What's the bad news?

ALFRED: She's a No-Name.

ESME: I dreamt about Sykes all night.

I dreamt that she was waiting for me

at my bus stop on Goodge Street.

[CROWD SHOUTING]

- She thinks you're dead.
- That's romantic, isn't it?

Coming back to life.

MR. PENNYWORTH: Now
you're doing well enough,

you'll be thinking you're
good enough for Esme.

Is that right?

"East is East, and West is
West, and ne'er the twain... "

ALFRED: I'm very much
in love with Esme, sir.

That's why I'm here...

to request your permission to marry her.

I will disinherit her.

- Do you understand?
- Yes.

Yes, I will.

HARWOOD: Tell the prime minister

I have seen his last days coming.

For every ounce of blood
I spill, he will pay.

The nation will rise in
my name, and he will die.

You've disappointed me.

I thought you'd talk to me

before making any rash decisions.

Rash? Me?

Stroll on.

Working for a gang of violent
subversive fanatics isn't rash?

What fanatics are these?

You work for Martha Kane

who works for Thomas Wayne

who works for the No-Name League.

First I'm hearing of it.

I could arrest you here and now

and see you hang by the weekend.

You could.

I hope you're about to
tell me why you won't.

You're a prize, Alfred.

Mark my words, civil war is coming.

Look around you.

How many of these people understand war?

How many of them could
command men in battle?

Well, that dancer there

could invade Russia all on her own.

Me,

I'm not gonna command anybody,

in any battle, anywhere.

Everyone will have to pick a side.

- That's the rules.
- Not me.

I'm told Her Majesty was
quite struck by you.

She thought you... dashing.

Really?

Tell her I fancied her, too.

Respectfully and that.

If not for her soft heart,

you, Mr. Bashford and Mr. MacDougal

would already be in shackles.

They're not in this.

You'd all be much safer

if you worked for your queen.

Mm. She don't pay very well.

Stop working against her...

or you'll all hang.

Message received.

Oh.

By the by,

how goes Esme?

Thriving, I trust?

She is.

What does she think about
your work for the No-Names?

Why do you ask?

Curiosity.

The policeman's vice.

Cheerio.

[DOORBELL BUZZES]

[WHISPERS]: Oh, fuck.

Is Mrs. Blake at home?

I'm sorry, Mrs. Blake moved
to the West Indies last year.

- Jamaica?
- No, Trinidad.

I have her new address somewhere.

[CHAIN LOCK CLICKING]

Good to meet you.

- Thomas Wayne.
- Martha Kane.

I've heard a great deal
about you, Miss Kane.

You're very well regarded
in the organization.

A little mysterious, but, uh...

Why is a nice American
society girl like you

mixed up with the No-Name League?

Fighting somebody else's dirty war.

I could ask the same of you.

Me? [CHUCKLES]

It's complicated.

Me? Simple: I get bored easily.

I like excitement.

Oh, really?

An adventuress.

You strike me more as
the idealistic type.

Do I?

Well, a person can be both, I suppose.

So, you're a Duke girl, huh?

Go, Demons.

Devils.

- You?
- Gotham.

I've never been.

Is it as scary as people say?

[SCOFFS]

Perfectly safe and getting safer.

In 20 years, Gotham will be the
Zurich of the Eastern Seaboard.

Now... the leadership
of the Raven Society

keep their identities a secret.

They've recently elected a new chief.

We need to know who that is.

There's a fellow inside
the Raven Society

who will tell us the new
leader's identity for a price.

You and Pennyworth are
to meet with this chap.

Details...

of your rendezvous...

and funds...

to be used at your discretion.

And I will need you to sign...

for these.

The deal I made with
Pennyworth stipulated no guns.

And that was the right deal to make.

Now... we reel him in.

If he balks...

offer him more money.

Whatever it takes.

He's worth it.

Or at least the League thinks he is.

Street fighting between left
and right-wing criminal gangs

has resulted in three deaths

and numerous injuries.

The police say the
outlawed organizations

known as the Raven Society
and the No-Name League

are to blame for the violence.

Hang 'em all, I say.

Blackshirts, Redshirts,
they're all the bloody same.

Potless dossers.

That tasty Sherman just walked in.

Hi.

Miss Kane. Hello.

Cola, please.

Cola for the lady.

How are things with you?

So-so. You, Miss Kane?

Fine. I have a job for you.

Sorry.

- I can't work for you anymore.
- Why not?

- I'm getting married.
- Mm. Congratulations.

How does that affect our arrangement?

I've got to be safety-minded.

Married men can't mess about.

Hmm. But they do.

That's a lot of money.

Marriage is expensive.

We'll manage.

It's too late to back out now.

You're in too deep.

I'm impressed.

You went straight for my
throat, no messing about.

Thank you.

Thing is, Miss Kane,

I lied about my reason for quitting.

The police already gave
me a nudge about you.

It's too late to tell me it's too late.

Oh.

You told me you didn't
know Thomas Wayne,

- but he's your boss.
- He isn't.

I mean, he wasn't. He is now.

I didn't know him then.

The police know that?

Good thing for you you're American.

You can scarper. Sharpish if I were you.

This job I'm talking about has
no government angle at all.

The police won't object.

In fact, they'll probably approve.

I said, good thing you're American.

You can scarper. Sharpish if I were y...

- I heard you. That's not happening.
- Miss Kane...

Martha. Hmm.

- I need your help, Alfred.
- Martha.

My old sergeant had five
rules for staying alive.

Rule number one: don't be a hero.

Rule number two: avoid heroes.

- I'm no hero.
- They all say that.

Have you ever tried a Scotch egg?

No. Think about the money.

Rule number three: don't
think about the money.

You're making these rules up.

Good sense is good sense.

Tell you what. We're
trying to get the name

of the new Raven Society leader.

If we succeed,

I'll pay you double that.

Cash on the nail.

One job.

It was the last resort.

Never mind him. You could've killed me.

I heard a noise.

It was like someone was
listening outside the door.

Well, what sort of noise did you hear?

- Footsteps? Voices?
- No.

It wasn't so much of a noise
as a huge, terrible silence,

as if someone was standing
outside the door just breathing.

I know that feeling.

- It's scary.

But it's your imagination.

Ah, of course.

We will have...

a pot of Darjeeling.

And, um, should we have crumpets?

- Sure.
- Let's have crumpets.

Darjeeling and crumpets.

I bring up the name...

Mrs. Dark-Ness, because there's
a sad story goes with it.

We were supposed to
meet a man this morning

at Paddington Station.

Only when we met him, he'd been stabbed.

He died, right there in front of us.

And he only said one
thing before he went.

"The darkness," he said.

"The darkness."

Isn't that a strange coincidence?

I'll get your tea.

Hmm.

Hmm.

That was very direct.

Best way usually, miss.

Please call me Martha. I hate "miss."

Yes, miss. Martha it is.

Now what?

Their move.

But so when the shit hits the fan,

what should I do?

Switch off the fan, I suppose.

Or stand behind something shit-proof.

I completed the U.S.
Marine Corps Reserve

Combat Training program at Fort Benning.

I can handle myself.

You leave the rough stuff to me...

if it occurs, which it
might not. Hopefully.

Should we drink that?

I mean, she could have put
knockout drops in it or something.

Poison the tea?

Never.

The Raven Society might be a bad lot,

but they're not bloody Italians.

I expect her boss

will find his boss,
and then they'll send

- a few gunmen to fetch us.
- A few?

We only need one.

[SIGHS]

Hmm.

So, you're getting married.

Who's the lucky woman?

I'm not sure how lucky she is.

Sorry. Is that a rude question?

She doesn't know I'm mixed up
with all this sort of carry-on.

So, you know. Bring her up and I wobble.

I understand.

Esme. The name's Esme.

- She's an actress. An actor.
- Mm.

Oh. [CHUCKLES]

Oh, she looks kind, gentle.

Yeah.

I don't deserve her.

I expect she feels the same way.

Vice versa, I mean.

Nah.

Women don't think like that, do they?

Oh. [CHUCKLES]

Don't we?

Ah, a woman knows her worth.

I mean, they do. You do, don't you?

A man has to find out.

Wow.

You're a genuine old-fashioned sexist.

I'm not sure what a sexist is, miss.

But if they're what they
sound like, I'm not one.

Strictly a one-woman man, I am.

- [SNORTS]
- What?

She's a lucky woman.

You've made me feel guilty now.

Ah. This, uh, was a 50-place service

on the occasion of his 60th birthday.

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY] It's a gorgeous table.

- Mm.
- It's formal and yet lyrical somehow.

Oh.

Yes, I was, um...

I was quite satisfied with that one.

[CHUCKLES]

Ah. Yes, this was a-a less

formal table for the French ambassador.

- [CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
- Mr. P,

this might be frightfully boring
for you, and you have to say no

- if you'd prefer not to, but...
- Mm.

... would you consider helping
me to plan our wedding?

It's just that I do so want
a day to make Alfie proud.

And, to be honest with you,
it's all quite daunting.

And you have such a gift.

- [CHUCKLES]

Here's a message.

[GROANS] You better stop
that right now, mate.

- Fuck off. Stop what?
- [SNIFFLES]

You fucking done an old woman
for no fucking reason,

you filth.

How about we go and shoot
your mum in the face?

Now, that's enough.

Or what?

[SHOUTS]

- For fuck's sake!
- [GROANING]

I'm trying to do business here,
like we're professionals.

Do you understand me? Business.

Now stop fucking about and
take me to your guv'nor.

Snared, eh?

The ruthless hunter killer at bay.

We're gonna roast you alive
on a bonfire, old chap.

Cheer up the troops? That sort of thing?

Yes.

You have a message?

You are Raven Society, aren't you?

Not some other similar jackboot mob?

There's a lot of you about these days.

We are the Raven Society, yes.

Then, yes,

I have an important
message for your guv'nor.

From the No-Name League.

Go on.

Are you the guv'nor, sir?

For your purposes, yes.

Yeah, no. I need to
see the real guv'nor.

The real guv'nor doesn't
see the likes of you.

Then the real guv'nor
doesn't get the message.

Not being difficult, sir.

Just following orders.

[SIGHS]

[KNOCKS]

[DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

Don't stand up yet, my dear.
You'll be very dizzy.

Uh, what happened?

You fainted. Blood loss. All's well.

Nine stitches and a
small, charming scar.

You're jolly lucky it wasn't much worse.

French windows, you say?

So stupid of me. [CHUCKLES]

Um... my clothes?

In the laundry. They were sordid.

Tea?

Earl Grey or herbal?

Yes, please. Whatever you're having.

I'm having gin.

Herbal, then.

Well, what's the message?

You're not the man in charge.

Yes, I am.

How would you know, anyway?

I can see your shoes.

Third-in-command at best, sir.

I need to parley with your
big chief, the leader.

What's his name again?

I don't think you have a
message for the leader.

I think you're just delaying the
punishment that's coming to you.

Maybe. Maybe not.

Your call.

You're very confident for a dead man.

Only a fool wouldn't
kick this ball upstairs.

[MARTHA AND GAUNT LAUGHING]

So glad we crossed paths.

New faces are a rare treat out here.

One sees the same tedious
characters again and again.

[CHUCKLES] I can imagine.

[CHUCKLES] I've dined at
every house in the county.

I've seen false lintels.

Spiral stairs. Bidets.

[BOTH LAUGH]

I've seen monstrous things.

But I've never seen a French window.

Where were you?

That's funny.

Um...

I must... I must be still woozy.

I forget the family's name.

I hadn't met them before.
Friends of friends.

Of course, you're still woozy.

You need iron. Drink your tea.

Nurse Dawson!

Uh, bring Tanya, would you?

MARTHA: Um...

Do you think my clothes are dry by now?

You won't be needing them.

No?

No, you and another young man

were sent here to find and assassinate

the leader of the Raven Society.

I can't very well let you walk away.

Excuse me?

You killed poor Mrs.
Darkness for no reason

and injured several good
people, and to cap it all,

you came stumbling right to my door.

[CHUCKLES] Amazing.

What are you talking about?

It's me you're looking for.

I'm the new leader of the Raven Society

that you came here to kill.

Um... [PANTING]

I'm sorry, Doctor,

but you've made a mistake.

That or, uh, you're mentally unwell.

I don't know, b-but I'm going.

Oh, don't exert yourself. You'll faint.

Bring me my clothes!

Your clothes have been burnt.

I didn't seek this honor.

No, but after poor Jimmy
Harwood's sad end,

none of the men would step up,

so here I am, God help me.

Trying to save this wretched
country from the likes of you.

- Me?
- Soft-hearted,

liberal idealist do-gooders.

I guess that is me.

I think you exaggerate my power.

I feel jolly tempted to let
you go along your merry way.

But, alas, you killed one of our people.

And a woman in charge
must not look soft.

I have to set a stern example.

My colleague knows I'm here.

What'll he do? Call the police?

Launch an assault?

[CHUCKLES]

- What's your real name?
- Does it matter?

Of course it does.

Not to me. To you.

But don't be alarmed or squeamish.

Do you know this woman?

No, no, g-give her a proper
look. Do you know her?

No, it's not a trick question.

We don't know her, either.

We call her Tanya because
she looks Russian.

Oh, now, are you sure

- you don't know her?
- Yes.

Yeah, well, I ask everyone
if they know her.

She was a brave young woman.

Tried to kill me, like you.

She wouldn't tell us anything.

Not even her name. No matter
what was done to her.

She deserves to be buried
decently, by her own people.

So I keep her like this for now.

Don't you think your
family would want to know

what had happened to you?

Your name.

My name is Martha.

Martha Kane.

- Pleasure to meet you, Martha.
- [KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Come in.

Madam Leader, forgive the intrusion.

We caught the other spy.

He says he has a message
from the No-Names,

for your ears only.

[GRUNTS]

MARTHA: Hello, Alfred.

Who's that? Do I know you?

The jig's up. They know my name.

They know everything.

Oh. Okay.

That's not good. You all right?

[SCOFFS] Been better.

Good day to you, young man.

Alfred, is it?

Who are you, now?

Frances Gaunt. Leader
of the Raven Society.

Get out. A woman?

No wonder you're a secret.

Don't be an ass.

- Is she really the guv'nor?
- Seems so.

Oh, well, then, excuse
my impertinence, madam.

How did you get here?

She's the doctor.

Ah. Bollocks.

So, do you have a message for me?

- What?
- A message

from the No-Name leadership.

Oh, yeah. No.

I made that up. No message.

- You bastard.
- [GRUNTS]

Steady on.

Fair play, you wouldn't
even have me here

if I hadn't let myself get caught.

Now, why would you do that?

I get paid a lot more
money if we succeed.

Seemed worth the risk.

Now, Miss Martha, Fort Benning now.

[GRUNTING]

[SCREAMS]

Oh, e-excuse me, if it's
all the same to you,

would you mind doing that facing me?

I like to see things clearly.

God blind me, what do you
take me for? The bloody Hun?

Well, you killed Mrs. Darkness.

That was an accident.

I'm very sorry about that.

We were told to find out
your name. That's all.

We're not like you.

We don't kill and torture people.

My dear,

despite your courage, you
are a complete fool.

Yeah, anyway... ticktock, job done.

Give us a car and a couple of
bottles of beer, and we'll be off.

Today in Berlin, Reich Chancellor Braun

signed a power-sharing agreement
with the Dutch senate

that will allow the Netherlands
partial autonomy...

- ... within the German Reich.
- [SNORING]

Chancellor Braun personally
guarantees the pact.

In home news, teenage pop
fans nationwide were stunned

to learn that Cliff Richard and
the Shadows are breaking up

to pursue separate careers.

Her Majesty's Minister for Culture

has not yet issued a state...

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

I haven't counted it.

Well, if you can't trust
loony underground radicals,

who can you trust?

Cheers.

Cheers.

- Mmm.
- [EXHALES]

You enjoyed yourself today, didn't you?

Well, mission accomplished,
no broken bones,

cash money... that's enjoyable.

I mean you enjoyed being close to death.

Death? Give over.

We were close to Swindon.
That's bad enough.

Everything's funny to you.

It's a sort of compulsion, isn't it?

I had a mate called Spanish.

He used to say life's either
a comedy or a tragedy,

and you have to choose one or the other.

I prefer having a laugh.

I'll drink to that.

Comedy.

You were very game today, if
I may say so, Miss Martha.

- Very game.
- [LAUGHS]

Your bosses will be making
you a captain or something.

Hmm.

I doubt that.

The politics of it all are
still quite... murky to me.

Well, murky's not good.

Why are you mucking about
with these people?

It's a long story.

You've got a lot of long stories.

You have to believe in something.

- Do you?
- Hmm.

- Not me.
- You like to say that.

You know it's not true.

Oh, you see right through me, can you?

No.

You're quite mysterious.

Hmm.

You said something that stuck with me.

You said my father was lying.

You said all soldiers have nightmares.

"Lying" is the wrong word.

I'm sure your dad was an honest man.

[LAUGHS]

He made pancakes with faces on them,

dressed as a pirate at Halloween.

[LAUGHING]

That kind of a dad.

Happy. Mm-hmm.

And then he died in a car crash.

And he was an excellent driver.

In my experience,

it's your excellent drivers
are the ones that crash.

Overconfidence.

Anyway, I...

I'd better be going.

I'd, um...

You'd better be going.

Yeah. [CLEARS THROAT]

[EXHALES]

Well, it was a pleasure
working with you, Miss Kane.

Best of luck subverting
the state and all that.

Best of luck to you, too, Alfred.

[LAUGHTER AND INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Thank you, sir.

Thank you very much.

Hey, look at this.

Want a biscuit, yeah?

Yeah? Call.

- [WHINES]
- Oh, good boy, good boy.

Yeah, that's... yeah, yeah, good.

sudden urge to choose paint.

I'll be back by 11:00 at the latest.

If you get back in time,
come and help me.

Love you, Esme.
