If I pull this off, will you die?

CIA MAN
Dr. Pavel, I'm CIA.

DRIVER
He wasn't alone.

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
(excited) Bane?

CIA MAN
Get 'em on board - I'll call it in.

CIA MAN
What are you doing in the middle of
my operation? The flight plan I just filed with
the Agency lists me, my men, and
Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you.

CIA MAN
FIRST ONE TO TALK GETS TO STAY ON
MY AIRCRAFT!
SO... WHO PAID YOU TO GRAB DR. PAVEL? !

CIA MAN
HE DIDN'T FLY SO GOOD! WHO WANTS TO TRY NEXT?!

CIA MAN
TELL ME ABOUT BANE! WHY DOES HE WEAR THE MASK? !

CIA MAN
LOT OF LOYALTY FOR A HIRED GUN!

THIRD PRISONER (O.S.)
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 . . .

4 . 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.

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 .

7 . BANE
Friend. They expect one of us in the wreckage.

HOODED MAN 2
Have we started the fire?

BANE
(nods ) The fire rises.

BANE
Calm, Doctor. Now is not time for fear . . .

BANE
That comes later.
