V brings Evey to his lair, where she is told that she must stay in hiding until the 5th of November in the following year for her own safety. Upon learning that V is killing government officials, she escapes to the home of her boss, comedian Gordon Deitrich (Stephen Fry). In return for Evey's trust in him with her very safety, Deitrich reveals to her an inner sanctum in his home housing a collection of materials outlawed by the government such as subversive paintings, the Quran, and to her surprise - homoerotic photos by Robert Mapplethorpe. One night, Gordon satirises the government on his television show. The secret police raid Deitrich's home, capturing him and Evey. Afterwards, Evey finds out Deitrich was executed for having a copy of the Quran.
