Selina warns Bruce that Ivy is dangerous.
Harvey and Alfred arrive at Fish’s club to talk with her about Selina. Alfred uses his unique methods to persuade Fish to talk with them.

They find out that the kids could be in a place called ‘The Factory’ which is located in The Narrows.
Jim arrives at Lovecraft’s penthouse to find him hiding with his gun drawn. Lovecraft reveals that the same assassins were coming after him. Lovecraft says that he was finding out some information about what was happening right before the murders. The assassins arrive and Jim fights them while Lovecraft tries to make a run for it. The woman puts Jim in a choke hold, rendering him unconscious. He wakes up to a phone call and finds Lovecraft in the bathroom with a bullet in his head. Jim also sees that they used his gun to kill him.
Selina and Bruce go talk with Clyde, the man who is in charge of ‘The Factory.’ They are trying to negotiate prices for stolen items in exchange for cash, but they refuse Clyde’s offer and he threatens them while locking them in an upstairs room.
