[Bazza] You should do me one favor.
Don't give up. You'll get to America in the end.
[Alfred] Let's get down to business, shall we?
I'm getting to America.
If you've got something that could make that happen, I'm in.
I might just have something.
We've made no fucking progress at all!
If London falls, the northern cities will surrender.
Full-scale artillery bombardment will do the trick.
League council are electing a new prime minister.
As you may have heard, the last one killed himself.
This good woman is the rightful queen of England,
and we are the rightful government of England.
I have no gift for politics,
but this new chap Aziz might listen to reason.
It had occurred to me.
[Peggy] Where the hell have you been?
[Sykes] Round and about.
This is me friend Katie.
I've told her nowt about me past,
and you'll do likewise, eh?
-Are you trying to seduce me? -I guess I am.
I've never been seduced by a crypto-fascist bastard before.
[Melanie] I'm going home.
No. You leave when I say you can leave.
Fuck you.
I'm Gully Troy, and you don't cross me.
I'm Alfred Pennyworth, and I just did.
Thank you for helping me.

You once told me you could get me on a plane to America.
Well, times have changed. Everyone and his dog wants out.
Well, the embassy still operates
a regular flight out once a week,
but there are hundreds on the waiting list.
I need three seats on next week's flight to Gotham.
Seats are like gold dust. Air crews are on the take.
Customs are on the take. Immigration--
I didn't think we'd fly for free.
How much?
Well, five grand a head?
Fuck.
-I thought half that, tops. -Mm.
That's a conservative estimate.
-You can't make that? -Not at this exact moment, no.
Well, maybe I could help.
How?
I could loan you the money you need.
Oh. That's very kind of you. No, thanks.
-It's no bother at all. -No.
Why not?
I'd rather not be in debt to the CIA.
I know where that leads.
-No strings. Between friends. -[chuckles]
We are friends, aren't we?
You can call it that.
Thanks all the same.
I'll get your money for you. No problem.
[Thomas] File 457NFH. Contact log 35.
Alfred Pennyworth.
Subject made contact seeking assistance regarding travel to
and residence in America.
Subject is a recruitment target of long standing.
Good morning, sleepyhead.
Morning.
[chuckles]
-Oh, my God. -I know.
-Oh. -What did I do wrong?
Of course you don't know how to make coffee.
-You have people for that. -I do.
And I'll bring them along next time.
I really have to get going.
What are you doing today?
Just, um, routine sentry duty.
You've been pretty busy
-with the League lately. -I guess.
You're not putting yourself in too much danger, I hope.
Are you?
Is it my imagination or are you pumping me for information?
No. No, certainly not.
I worry about you, that's all.
-You don't worry about me? -No.
I assume you can take care of yourself, like I can.
Well, I figure when you're in a relationship,
people, they-they look out for each other.
This is what, the third time we've had sex?
-Fourth. -Okay, fourth.
That's not a relationship. That's sex four times.
It's a sex thing.
And you're actually pretty good for a rich guy.
Oh, gee, thanks.
Well, if this, if this "sex thing" is
ever gonna turn into a relationship,
then we'll-we'll need to be spending
a certain amount of time together.
Okay. Well, I really have to go.
Uh, like, for instance, right now.
Can't League business wait a couple of hours?
No. It's important.
Sentry duty? Really?
You're trying to make me mad.
You are pumping me for information.
C-I-fucking-A to the bone.
I give up.
Well, you can't just go through life pretending
you like being alone.
Now, I know it's very, very fashionable and modern.
I-I'm not pretending. I'm not pretending.
But, Jesus, would an-- would an actual relationship
be that bad?
I mean, let's be honest, most women would,
-they would... -[laughs softly]
[stammers]
Oh, no, please continue.
Go on.
Tell me what, um, most women would do.
Most women wouldn't try so hard to get themselves killed.
It's like you want to get hurt.
It's like somewhere deep inside, you hate yourself.
It's true.
I don't love myself quite as much as you love yourself,
but, um, that's kind of healthy, I think.
Learn to hate yourself a little bit more, be good for your soul.
See how you work. When you make someone else feel bad
about themselves, you feel good about yourself.
You're a self-esteem vampire.
Maybe you should leave now.
Okay, I...
I take that back. That was unfair.
Wh-- Unfair because it's not true
or unfair because it's true?
I misspoke.
You're not Dracula. But you...
...you do have some tendencies.
You know what? Fuck you.
I rest my case.
Ugh.
Clean your goddamn apartment.
-[scoffs] -Slob.
-[door closes] -[scoffs]
I've thought about you often since we met so strangely.
-How are you faring? -Well enough, ma'am. And you?
Oh, one god-awful ghastly thing after another.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Keep out of politics, my dear.
Where on earth are you taking me?
[clears throat, laughs softly]
Welcome.
A pleasure to meet you, Dr. Gaunt.
Prime Minister.
Martha, thank you so much for arranging this.
-You are a treasure. -Isn't she?
The minute I met her, I knew she was special.
Uh, well, I'll leave you guys to it.
And we have guards surrounding the place,
so you won't be disturbed.
Please.
Odd venue.
It was one of my favorite restaurants.
Exquisite cassoulet. Mmm.
Alas.
I was surprised to hear from you.
I wanted to open channels of communication--
-discreet channels. -Why now?
I've wanted to speak to the League for some time,
but Archbishop Potter was an amiable zealot.
I hear that you're a reasonable man.
I've heard the same of you.
Well, let's reason with each other, shall we?
Well, I'd love to do that, but I'm afraid
Lord Harwood and I are old acquaintances.
A good man in many respects
but not near as reasonable as we are.
Great leaders are often more passionate
than they are reasonable, don't you find?
[both chuckle]
I'm happy to talk in either case, but do you speak
for Harwood and the Union or for yourself?
I speak for the good of the English people.
Ah. How can I refuse such virtue?
If you were to agree, a cease-fire,
a negotiated surrender on honorable terms,
what would those terms be?
Surrender.
-I hadn't considered the notion. -Of course you have.
Have the Army, the Navy, the Air Force solidly behind us.
London is surrounded.
You have, what, five percent of the country?
Geographically.
Psychologically, I'd say we were still ahead.
You've conquered cities, not souls.
I don't think you understand the seriousness
of the situation, Prime Minister.
We haven't even used our most effective weapons yet.
We've been showing great restraint.
Oh, yes, your secret weapon.
Stormcloud, is it?
-What is that, exactly? -You tell me.
No, no, no. We know all about it.
I was just curious to know if you know.
Perhaps Harwood compartmentalizes
such sensitive matters.
You know nothing about Stormcloud.
If you did, you'd be happy to surrender.
-[panting] -So tell me.
God help you if Stormcloud is ever deployed.
God help all of us.
Dear me. Old Testament stuff, eh?
Yes.
I wish I could tell you more.
Your message in summary--
we should surrender to vague terroristic threats.
You should come to terms with reality, Prime Minister.
The League holds London.
You daren't destroy the city to pry us loose.
The world's opinion would not forgive you.
While we hold London, I am the prime minister
of Her Rightful Majesty's government.
We are England.
You are just political criminals.
That's reality.
Fuck's sake. That much?
Yeah.
Fuck's sake.
Hold on.
That means we don't have enough money, Alfie.
Yeah, mate. That's what I've been saying.
Oh, fuck.
Alfie, guess what. You'll never guess.
It's good news. Guess.
Your dad's joined the circus?
Gertcha. Pukka whistle, this. Look at that lining.
Arm and a leg, mate.
-Guess. -Tell.
-She's only making a record. -Dad.
I wanted to tell him.
-I'm making a record. -Yes!
Yeah. Brilliant. Well done. Oh...
Well, it's just a demo for the record company, but, still,
-it's a record. -Aye.
It's a "solid smash," as we call it.
Will you come to the recording session?
Please?
Uh, yeah, sure. I'll try.
-You always say that. -And I always try.
Please come. I sing better when I feel safe.
Yeah, I'll be there.
Thank you.
-Bye, Daveboy. -Keep well, then.
Be cool, boys.
I do not believe you.
-What? -For shame.
Yeah, all right, all right. Leave it out.
-I'm not in the mood. -Oh, poor you.
You're not in the mood? That time of the month,
-is it? -Leave it alone.
Away forever in a week,
and you've still not told the poor lassie?
Well, we're not going anywhere, are we?
We ain't got the money. That's the problem, not Sandra.
Soon as we know we're going, I'll tell her, all right?
I'll tell her. Fuck's sake.
All right, all right. I'll leave it alone.
First we need money.
Well, that's easy enough.
We need to swallow our pride and do one last job with Gully.
-You think so? -What else can we do?
I don't know, but Gully's dangerous.
[chuckles] Mad as a hatter,
but we knew that before we took the last job.
So what's the difference now?
True. No difference, really.
So, you think we should do it? One more job with Gully?
-What do you think? -I'm asking you.
I don't know. You're the decision maker.
Well, why's it always me that has to decide?
Why the fuck can't you do the thinking for once?
Really? After all these years, now?
Now you want me to do the thinking?
-You're going soft, man. -Eh...
What's got into you?
Thoughts?
[Alfred] Easy enough entry.
No good way out.
There's always a good way out.
You're the expert.
I need to be sure of you, Alfie.
You've been a little, uh, flighty recently.
Personal problems, hmm?
Don't worry about me. I'm in.
Good enough.
If you do have problems, I hope you know
that you can always come to me for advice...
...encouragement.
Thanks.
Uh, should we say, uh,
1100 hours on Friday at... my house?
[Alfred] Your house?
Yes.
Well, wouldn't somewhere neutral be better?
No.
Your place it is, then.

[Peggy] We had a little sister.
Mary Ann. Three years younger than Bet.
We called her May.
When Bet was 11, they were on their way to school,
and May fell in the canal and drowned.
People said Bet pushed her in.
But that's people.
They'll think the worst of you.
Did she?
-Push her in? -No, it was an accident.
-I know it was. -[George groaning]
Bet would have died for her. Hush.
Well, ever since then, she tries to be good.
But bad luck just comes after her, like George here.
He raped her.

She's done some very bad things.
Tell me.

This is about Aziz.
No, I was going to give you a briefing on that.
A briefing? Good.
Well, then, everything's tickety-boo, isn't it?
I went to speak to him on your behalf.
I thought you'd approve.
Secret meetings with the prime minister
of the English League.
Whispering in dark corners.
And I have to hear this from underlings.
Well, wouldn't you like to hear what he had to say?
No! I damn well do not want to hear what he had to say!
How can I trust what I hear?
How do I know you're not working for him now?
This is absurd.
Do you see what you've done?
If I don't know that I can trust you, then you're no good to me.
And I can't know, not for certain, not now.
Jimmy, you are not yourself.
Have you been taking your medication properly?
Of course you'd go to that. I'm-I'm crazy? I'm-I'm paranoid?
How-how long have we known each other?
All my life.
Exactly.
Is there no one I can trust?
-Am I completely bloody alone? -Jimmy.
You broke my heart, Frances.
You broke my fucking heart.
Guards.
No, don't do this, Jimmy. Jimmy.
Jimmy, this is insane.
I was trying to help you!
Yes, of course, Frances. You're right.
I'm crazy. You were just trying to help me.
Thank you, Frances.

Good evening, Mrs. Troy.
My name is Melanie.
You look tired.
You look pretty good, Melanie.
Considering. Walk into a door?
[laughs softly]
No.
-I'm sorry. -Don't be.
I detest pity.
Why are you here?
Why do you think?
He hurt you, so you want to hurt him.
Nobody can hurt Gully. He's made of bones.
Mm.
Would you like me to leave?
No.
Tape's rolling. Whenever you're ready.

[Troy] You remember that night raid
in the Sulawesi channel?
[Banjo] Aye. I remember.
A full moon.
Clear as day.
You went in first.
Buggers all dug in at the tree line.
Yeah.
Got us out of a tight spot.
You're a damn good soldier, Banjo.
There were little turtles on the beach.
Hundreds of them.
Turtles, you say?
Really?
I don't remember that.
It was that quiet at first,
before the gunfire.
You could hear them all making for the water.
Thousands of little flippers in the sand.
