Throughout Pennyworth Series[]
City of London[]
Thomas' father Patrick Wayne seems to be alive because in Pilot when Alfred Pennyworth was with Thomas Wayne in the car. Waiting to do a hostage exchange to save Esme Winikus. Not wanting to die, Thomas asks, if Alfred were to live. To please tell my Parents that I faced death honorably. He never called, like Thomas' mother had. There had been no personal mention of seeing or speaking to him till Well To Do. Patrick Wayne arrived for a visit. Thomas hates his father and has not spoken in years. He came to visit for a few days with a lady friend. Coming under the pretense of getting to know his family, and a simply matter he needed their help with.
Coming to London also on Wayne Enterprises matters. The grown-ups had dinner without Samantha. The 4 of them started out having a nice sit-down. His so called friend Virginia asks Thomas if he enjoys being a doctor. Telling them he does, he enjoys helping in a practical way. That it is fulfilling. Patrick answers one day Thomas will have to stop being a saint and come work for him. Patrick asks Martha about her government work. She tells him, her cover job for Public Records Office. A glorified librarian. Patrick answer in a way to make one think he was a chauvinist, stating she must have stamina to work and handle motherhood. Martha answers his, she diverts the questions onto Virginia Devereaux. Virginia answers keeping Patrick happy is a full time job.
The next morning, over breakfast, Martha off to work, and Virginia's shopping, Patrick, explain why he was not at Wayne Enterprises working. Thomas should do this part of the family business. About info that is highly sensitive and classified. Add because he needs Martha to find a missing scientist. The info is complicated and need-to-know things. Believe he might try to sell the info. If they lose control of the info, it might mean the end of the company. Martha would know if the scientist contacts the English government. He knows she is MI5 field officer. Works for the current Prime Minister. Patrick knows because of his contacts at the Pentagon. Thomas argues that they both quit that world to live normal lives.
That night, Patrick and Virginia talked upstairs. Debating, if his son even knows at all what she really does for a living. He would need some time, to make this work. Virginia reminds him, he is awful judge of someone's character. She was proof.
By Many Clouds Thomas has another sit down with Patrick. Playing along as if he knew everything in Martha's life. Also explains he would not bring her job for MI5 into this. So Thomas didn't ask for Patrick, about the missing Wayne Enterprises scientist. Letting his family think this is about Patrick wanting to get to know his granddaughter. Not wanting to disillusion Martha. Thomas was not working to; for the family, or national security. Repeats back a speech about gentlemen and honor. Patrick went off, about honor with out responsibility and about a family matter. His son did find who can help find the missing scientist and could not give this person they should hire any details, since he personally didn't know any yet. Listening as Patrick gives him some details, about the mind control drug, it's military applications and the business opportunity as he runs the family business.
Samantha went out with Mrs P in Comply Or Die, Martha and Thomas talk about what really her job is about, and leading a secret double life. Martha answers, stating that Patrick is neck deep in trouble. She was shocked Patrick already told him. Martha and Thomas share info. She knows Wayne Enterprises and the CIA are in London testing a drug. Last adds, she will be briefing Aziz on all of this, when he is back from Paris. Thomas fills in, the missing Dr Glubb needs to be found, and believes his father only wants to find him, he thinks his father's done nothing criminally wrong.
Patrick came a little later to say, he is going to call the one Thomas recommended. Thomas explains to his dad, even Alfred can't fix this now. Martha knew and will tell the Prime Minister when he is back from Paris. They could get ahead of this and go to the English government. Behaving suspicious, Thomas asks, what else his dad was not telling him. Patrick swears on his late wife's grave, it's nothing.
Later when Thomas came home, calling if anyone was home, he pours a drink from the bar. Virginia Devereaux was who answers and joins him for a drink. Really slips something into Thomas' cup. After the drink Thomas fell to the floor. Her agents in their dark suits came in. Patrick came down the stairs saying no more and that he can't let them do this. She sent him back upstairs to his room. They went to work on Thomas.
At the start of Silver Birch Patrick Wayne went to the office space of Pennyworth Security, to hire them to save his son. Offering to pay £1,000,000 he only wanted his son Thomas safe. The job was to get Thomas out, and to the airfield where an airplane was waiting to fly him out of the country.
Patrick and Virginia were at the Wayne's house in London, though none of the family were home. Alfred shows up at the door, she shows Mr Pennyworth in. Telling her dear that he has a visitor. Patrick started to talk busyness. Glad that he thinks his son is safely somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean now. Alfred Pennyworth was here to try to collect. Soon Virginia interrupts. Patrick states to let him handle it. Soon she shows her true self and answers that Patrick is the dumbest, softest person. 1,000,000 to save his useless trust fond baby. Patrick answers it was the right things to do. Because Thomas was weak, would testify again his own father. Virginia at that answer. Alfred again talks business, Virginia order Alfred to take a hick and Patrick to not pay. To everyone's anger, Thomas barges into the room. Alfred was angry, he didn't get any money out of this. Thomas is angry and punches his father. Patrick is angry, he sincerely wanted his son safe. Patrick explains it was not him who did any of it. It was Virginia. Patrick adds, she is CIA and his handler, and made him do it. Not careing if she shoots him, sends him to jail, he is tired of the charade. She calls him spineless, asking why Patrick could not go on, for 1 more day? At gun point orders all 3 men to sit in the chairs. Confessing everything now, he made some mistakes/ errors in judgment. Fraud, corruption. He fell into the CIA's trap, the CIA wanted Wayne Enterprises Pharmaceuticals. Patrick was the weak link. Alfred was curious, why drugs. Virginia lists all of her evil plan. Lastly order Patrick and her go back, they went for the police. America is England's ally. Patrick had no choice but to get the handcuffs, as Virginia commands. Then the police bust through the door into the room, as Alfred planned. Virginia tells the police, they had done nothing wrong, these men are fugitives. Patrick answer to her; "Who is dumb now?" in a gratified tone. He then brings up Scorched Earth, which she tells him to keep his mouth shot. Alfred thought Patrick's words sounded like something. Patrick states out loud, she has diplomatic immunity. Also admits, she sent men to try and kill Martha. Thanks to Patrick warning them in time. Alfred warns Aziz who goes and waits in Martha's hospital room. Aziz and a handful of cops are there, when the 2 agents walk in, are thwarted.
