CIA MAN
Dr. Pavel, I'm CIA.
Dr. Pavel nods, nervous. CIA Man hands the Driver a
briefcase.

DRIVER
He wasn't alone.
CIA Man, confused, spots the Hooded Men. He turns to Dr.
Pavel.



CIA MAN
You don't get to bring friends.

DR. PAVEL

(SHAKEN)
They are not my friends.

DRIVER
Don't worry, no charge for them.

CIA MAN
Why would I want them?

DRIVER
They were trying to grab your
prize. (Smiles.) They work for the
mercenary. The masked man.

CIA MAN
Get 'em on board - I'll call it in
What are you doing in the middle of
my operation? FIRST ONE TO TALK GETS TO STAY ON
MY AIRCRAFT!SO...WHO PAID YOU TO GRAB DR.
PAVEL?! HE DIDN'T FLY SO GOOD! WHO WANTS TO
TRY NEXT!? TELL ME ABOUT BANE! WHY DOES HE WEAR THE MASK?!
LOT OF LOYALTY FOR A HIRED GUN!
THIRD PRISONER (O.S.)
BANE
Or he's wondering why someone would
shoot a man before throwing him out
of an aeroplane.



CIA MAN
Wiseguy, huh? At least you can
talk. Who are you?



THIRD PRISONER
We are nothing. We are the dirt
beneath your feet. And no one cared
who I was until I put on the
mask...

BANE
Who we are does not matter. What
matters is our plan.

CIA MAN

(FASCINATED)
If I pull this off, will you die?

BANE
It would be extremely painful.



CIA MAN
You're a big guy -

BANE
For you.

CIA MAN

(UNNERVED)
Was being caught part of your plan?

BANE
Of course. Dr. Pavel refused our
offer in favor of yours. We had to
know what he told you about us.

DR. PAVEL
Nothing! I said nothing!


CIA MAN
Why not just ask him?

BANE
He would not have told us.


CIA MAN
You have methods.

BANE
Him, I need healthy. You present no
such problem.
CIA Man laughs for the Special Forces' benefit. A heavy bass
tone is rising. The Sergeant looks out the window.



SERGEANT
Sir?

CIA MAN
Well congratulations, you got
yourselves caught. What's the next
step of your master plan?

BANE
Crashing this plane...

BANE

(RISING)
With no survivors.
