Three Hooded Men guarded by East European Militia. A third Militia drives. Next to him is a nervous, bespectacled man. 
EXT. AIRSTRIP, EASTERN EUROPE - DAY
An airstrip overlooking a grey city rocked by artillery
fire. A bland CIA Operative, flanked by Special Forces Men,
stands in front of a commuter plane. CIA Man watches the
Land Cruiser pull up, hard. The Militia Men jump out of the
vehicle. 
The Driver shoves the bespectacled man in front of the CIA
Man.

CIA MANDr. Pavel, I’m CIA.
Dr. Pavel nods, nervous. CIA Man hands the Driver a
briefcase. 
DRIVERHe wasn’t alone.
CIA Man, confused, spots the Hooded Men. He turns to Dr.
Pavel. 
CIA MANYou 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?
The Driver nods. CIA Man turns to his Special Forces Men.

Hooded Man 1 says nothing. CIA Man pulls out a handgun. 
The flight plan I just filed withthe Agency lists me, my men, and
Dr. Pavel here. But only one of
you.
CIA Man opens the cargo door. Special Forces hang Hooded Man
1 out into the howling wind - CIA Man shouts above the wind. 
CIA MANFIRST ONE TO TALK GETS TO STAY ON
MY AIRCRAFT! (Cocks weapon.)
SO...WHO PAID YOU TO GRAB DR.
PAVEL?!
Nothing. CIA Man fires out the open door and the Special
Forces yank Hooded Man 1 back in, clubbing him quiet. 
CIA MANHE DIDN’T FLY SO GOOD! WHO WANTS TO
TRY NEXT?!
The Soldiers grab Hooded Man 2, hang him out the door. 
CIA MANTELL ME ABOUT BANE! WHY DOES HE
WEAR THE MASK?!
The prisoner says nothing. CIA Man presses the gun to the
man’s hood - he cocks the gun...nothing. 
CIA MANLOT 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 turns to the Third Prisoner. Shuts the cargo door. 
CIA MANWiseguy, 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...
CIA Man, wary, approaches the Third Prisoner - pulls off his
hood, revealing a dark mask with a breathing apparatus. The
eyes behind it are cold. Still. This is Bane.

BANEWho 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.

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.

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

swinging out as the tail explodes.

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... 
An Armed Man pulls Hooded Man 1 up through the cabin and
out. Bane stops Hooded Man 2.

BANEFriend. They expect one of us in
the wreckage.
The man nods, unhooks himself, takes Bane’s arm. 
HOODED MAN 2Have we started the fire? 
BANE
(nods)
The fire rises.
Hooded Man 2 hands Bane his line. Bane clips it around Dr.
Pavel, takes out a knife and cuts Dr. Pavel’s seat belt. Dr.
Pavel panics, flails. Bane takes his arms. Gentle. 
BANECalm, Doctor. Now is not time for
fear...
Bane slides Dr. Pavel out of his seat. They hang in the
vertical, windblown cabin. Bane takes out a detonator. 
BANEThat comes later.
Bane presses the detonator - the cabin drops from around
them, revealing the terrifying drop to the peaks below. Dr.
Pavel screams as they are hoisted up towards the transport.
