From the shadows, V answers.
Tears begin to streak her face.
V
Are you afraid?
V
I can kill you right now.
Prothero begins to blubber.
DELIA
It's beautiful...
The rose falls from her hands. V
Tell me, Evey, what good is an
actor that plays his part to an
empty theatre?
EVEY
I don't know.
V
Nor do I. That's why you are here.
I need you, Evey. I need someone
to listen.
The second hand sweeps into the final minute.
LEADER
Without control, man is nothing
more than any other stinking,
sweating, brute animal. Control,
Mr. Almond. The control that we
have painstakingly built up over
the last ten years. Now, do you
understand what happened last
night?
ALMOND
We... lost control.
LEADER
Yes, Mr. Almond. Last night
someone did the unthinkable.
Someone hurt us. It is imperative
that we act swiftly and precisely.
I want that man found, Mr. Almond.
I want his head or, by god, I'll
have yours.
LILLIMAN
I was thinking of something a
little less ethereal. Has the
young lady arrived?
DENNIS
The agency informed me she'll be
here directly. However, there was
a mixup. It's not one of the usual
girls. She's a little older.
LILLIMAN
Oh dear. Oh dear. Not too old, I
trust?
DENNIS
They promise me she's no more than
fifteen.
LILLIMAN
Fifteen, hmm.
PROTHERO
Oh no, no! Please I was just doing
what I was told!
V
Of course you were. Now I'm
telling you to make a choice.
Either you stick that syringe into
your neck or --
He presses the gun barrel to Prothero's forehead.
V
I can kill you right now.
Prothero begins to blubber.
LEADER
This terrorist knows us, Finch.
These attacks are perfectly
calculated and they are divisive.
He knows what he's doing, Finch.
He knows us all too well.
FINCH
You think he's an insider?
MOTHER
Hush. Turn it up.
The husband does. V's voice gets louder as we move towards
him.
V
They are afraid that I am going to
say the things that are not
supposed to be said. They are
afraid that I am going to say the
truth.
INT. APARTMENT
A man sits on his couch, mesmerized by V.
V
The truth is that there is
something terribly wrong with this
country, isn't there? If you look
about, you witness cruelty,
injustice and despotism. But what
do you do about it? What can you
do?
He pops his beer tab and the beer foams over the couch but he
doesn't seem to notice.
INT. FINCH'S POLICE CAR
The car races wildly towards Jordan tower as Finch and
Dominic listen to the broadcast on the radio.
V (V.O.)
You are but a single individual.
How can you possible make any
difference? Individuals have no
power in this modern world.
That is what you've been taught
because that is what they need you
to believe. But it is not true.
INT. LEADER'S TRANSPORT
The Leader seethes, staring at three television monitors in
his limo which are all filled with V.
V
This is why they are afraid and the
reason that I am here; to remind
you that it is individuals who
always hold the power. The real
power. Individuals like me. And
individuals like you.
