Lucius said, "Mayday, mayday.
Level ," 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 ?

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.

encouraged him a bit, so...

Level 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 ,

- Possibly true,

but we don't know it to be true.

- I can't act on possibility.

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.

Well, why didn't you wake us?

It were nice, watching you sleep.

That peaceful look on your face.

Everybody said you were dead.
I knew you were all right.

- More than I did.
- I knew you'd be back.

I knew you wouldn't leave us
to cope with a f*cking baby.

I wouldn't do that to you.

- [BABY COOS]
- [CHUCKLES]

Well, fair play, I would, but I didn't.

So...

She's all right, though, isn't she?

- Hmm?
- [BABY COOS]

She'll do. She's a right smasher.

I could bite you.

I could eat you all up.

[GASPS] Boo!

I won't ask what you've been at.

You wouldn't believe us any road.

- I k*lled John Salt.
- [BABY COOS]

I said I would, and I did.

So I heard. I can't approve, but...

well, I'm glad you got it out
of your system at least.

I've been through the mill, Peg.

Through the f*cking mill.

You're a magnet for trouble, eh?

- And you don't change.
- I have changed, though, sis.

[BABY COOS]

- They did things to me.
- Men, eh? f*cking animals.

Let it bother you.

- Speak.
- Listen.

Before this goes too far,

- we should talk.
- I'm listening.

I gather you think you

But please remember, my friend,

I have my own, very powerful, resources.

"My friend," he calls me.

I am your sovereign ruler!
Do you not agree?

You are the lawful head

Yes, I am.

And I will deal with you as I see fit!

And the people will applaud, no doubt.

I'm willing to listen to your
larger concerns in good faith.

Tell me what you want.

What do I want?

I want you servile or gone.

I have the power to get you gone.

Don't test my patience!
