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?

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?

He would not have told us.

You have methods.
