Jakob arrives back at the Mutton Inn, and Jarvis is waiting for him. He tells Jakob about an American spy caught in London. Jarvis says that the spy was working with his mother, who was a cipher clerk. Jakob says that he knows his mother wasn’t a spy, and Jarvis says neither of them know that, or if she’s even alive or dead.
Lizzie and Colin are running through London to her flat. They enter and rush upstairs. There is evidence that someone has been in the flat since she left. It’s very messy. She checks beneath the floorboard in the closet, and it has been cleared out too.
Someone opens the door, and Colin and Lizzie hide inside the closet. It’s Fleetwood. They hear him take a bottle from the liquor cabinet and leave. They stay in hiding, cautious of it being a trap.
After 10 minutes, they open the door and sneak out. Fleetwood is gone. They decide to eat. They are getting ready to leave for the train station when Colin spots a picture of Lizzie’s parents. He recognizes Willa—he has seen her.
