BANE:

(RISING)

With no survivors.

A Special Forces soldier spins around - an Armed Man is

outside the window. Bang -

EXT. SKIES OVER MOUNTAIN RANGE - CONTINUOUS

Two men shoot through the windows, the other two attach

grapples to the fuselage - give the thumbs up - hoists start

to pull and the tail of the commuter plane is lifted,

unnaturally.

INT. COCKPIT, COMMUTER PLANE - CONTINUOUS

The Pilots battle the controls as the plane tilts forward.

6.

INT. MAIN CABIN, COMMUTER PLANE - CONTINUOUS

Like lightning, Bane has the CIA Man is his handcuffed arms,

legs wrapped around a seat back, The entire cabin upends.

Tumbling chaos - Soldiers falling - Bane cracks CIA Man's

neck and drops him onto the Sergeant - they tumble down the

plane, smashing into the cockpit door with a terminal thud.

Dr. Pavel, strapped in, pushes against the seat in front of

him - the plane vibrates, trying to tear itself apart.

EXT. ATLAS MOUNTAINS - CONTINUOUS

The men climb the tail of the smaller plane as it dangles

helplessly above the mountains. Its wings shear off.

INT. MAIN CABIN, COMMUTER PLANE - CONTINUOUS

Bane breaks his handcuffs as if they were plastic, then

opens his legs and drops down the cabin, somersaulting

gracefully and using his arms to stop himself halfway down,

by Dr. Pavel.

EXT. SKIES OVER MOUNTAIN RANGE - CONTINUOUS

The men attach explosives to the tail, then jump away,

swinging out as the tail explodes.

INT. MAIN CABIN, COMMUTER PLANE - CONTINUOUS

An explosion takes off the rear door of the cabin - the

Armed Men drop through the smoke on cables.

A body bag is lowered into the cabin. Bane lies it on the

seat backs next to Dr. Pavel and unzips it to reveal a body

the same age and build as Dr. Pavel.

Bane rips Dr. Pavel's sleeve - pulls out a length of

surgical tubing - pushes a needle into Dr. Pavel's arm -

runs the tube to the body's arm... Dr. Pavel watches,

horrified, as Bane starts compressions on the body's chest,

drawing Dr. Pavel's blood across the tube and into the

body...
