The first thing I shouldsay that I forgot to mention in my first summary is that the government in the story is made up of 5 parts identified by the 5 senses: the mouth, finger, nose, head, eye, and ears. And I said before that I would explain Fate later so I will just do that now, Fate is the computer system that the government uses to watch the people and when the people hear the evening news (see the beginning of my first summary)they think that it is Fate talking.
Chapter 2: The Mouth:
Chapter 2 starts in the Mouth (the broadcasting center for the party), we see Derek Almond entering the Mouth and talking to Roger Dascombe (in charge of the mouth). And from them talkingwe learn that the voice of Fate isn't actuallythe computer, but it is Lewis Prothero. And form Almond and Dascombe's conversation we find out thatProthero has a priceless doll collection; this will be important piece of knowledge later.While Almond is leaving he gets very mad at Dascombe from a comment he makes about him being "sensitive".
Then it cuts to a short scene where V has taken Evey to his home, it is here that we learn that V calls his home the Shadow Gallery. Evey is amazed at all the amazing things V has in his home, books, music ... and Evey makes a comment about the music she hears on V's juke box, which she mistakenly calls a "duke box". This starts V talking about how the government "eradicated some cultures more thoroughly than others." then V says "...we'll have tosee what we can do about that..."
Then it switches once more to Lewis Prothero and several other men getting on a train and it heading down the tracks. Prothero starts talking about his doll collection when one of the men says that he saw something jump down on to the train just before they entered a tunnel, the othersignore it after he says "...could have been some rags caught in the fence..." but then all of a sudden the car goes black and V shows up, kidnaps Prothero but before that V kills the other men on the train.
The next day we see Det. Finch and his partner, Dominic Stone, at the trainstation where the train is currently being held. They get a statement from the conductor who V only knocked out, basically he just says that he felt an electric shock and passed out.Afterwards Finch and Dominicgo to the car where Prothero was kidnapped and the men were killed.
