Lizbeth enters Andy's room and tells him that the radio interference is [[hypnosis|hypnotic]], which is how the safehouse has been infiltrated. They theorise that the force is using the radio to subdue the lodgers and keep them from warning Torchwood and Andy says that he believes he saw Norton outside outside his window. He says that he heard scuttling in his [[wardrobe]], which Lizbeth opens and finds that it is empty. However, there is [[slime]] on the shelf and a hole in the back of the cupboard. | Lizbeth enters Andy's room and tells him that the radio interference is [[hypnosis|hypnotic]], which is how the safehouse has been infiltrated.

Andy tries to knock down the door to escape without success and instead suggests jumping from the bay window in the dining room, which does not have bars. They enter the dining room and find Miss Pinkerton sitting in the dark, saying that she is waiting just in case one of the other lodgers need her. One of her [[cat]]s finds a creature, which Miss Pinkerton refers to as one of the lodgers, and is quickly eaten before the creature turns to Andy and Lizbeth, Miss Pinkerton telling them not to struggle and that they might as well go to Ashenden. Lizbeth smashes the window with a [[chair]] and jumps out with Andy. | |||
On the run, Andy suggests that they hide at Ashenden but Lizbeth is against the idea, saying that it is a "nothing of a a place" and that she does not know how to get there. Seeing a [[poster]], Andy sees that the next [[train]] there leaves [[Waterloo station]], which is not far from Pimlico, in an hour. At Waterloo, Lizbeth feels that she and Andy are being watched, but Andy ignores her despite recognising that some people look like plainclothes policemen who approach them as they realise that they do not have money for [[ticket]]s. They hurry away and board the train. | |||
In a first-class carriage with [[sand]] on the floor, Lizbeth says that something feels wrong and that they have to leave the train. They are then asked for tickets by [[conductor (Ashenden)|the conductor]] and Andy admits that they do not have any tickets. However, Norton appears, presents tickets to the conductor and holds Andy and Lizbeth at gunpoint, telling them that they are going to Ashenden. | |||
