Bock defeats Angel in the cage fight thanks to his training from Alfonso.
Angel's face is disfigured in the bout however. After defeating Angel, Penguin sets up a meeting place between Bock and the children of Westside High and Tubman, the mysterious man behind the underground railroad.
Tubman, it turns out, is actually the curator of a long forgotten subway system set up at the turn of the century. He and his family had been
meticulously maintaining the "Trip Down the Rabbit Hole" railroad system for all these years and now is helping people escape. Thanks to some protection from Robin, the bus full of children
arrive at the subway station.
Unfortunately Angel and his motorcycle militia carry a big grudge against Bock for beating Angel
and disfiguring him earlier. Penguin however, seeing Bock as a potential money-maker in future fighting bouts, decides to send his men to protect Bock.
The train crashes through into Bludhaven and the children are all taken to the
hospital to be treated for their wounds. Vanessa and her father go with the
children while Bock and Penguin return to Gotham. Angel and his militia are
arrested for breaking the quarantine.
