< V for Vendetta > Remember, remember The 5th of November The gunpowder treason and plot I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot But what of the man? I know his name was Guy Fawkes and I know in 1605, he attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament. But who was he really? What was he like? We are told to remember the idea and not the man. Because a man can fail. He can be caught, he can be killed and forgotten. But 400 years later, an idea can still change the world. I have witnessed firsthand the power of ideas. I've seen people kill in the name of them and die defending them. But you cannot kiss an idea cannot touch it or hold it. Ideas do not bleed. They do not feel pain. They do not love. And it is not an idea that I miss. It is a man. A man that made me remember the 5th of November. A man that I will never forget. So I read that the former United States is so desperate for medical supplies that they have allegedly sent several containers filled with wheat and tobacco. A gesture, they said, of goodwill. You wanna know what I think? Well, you're listening to my show, so I will assume you do. I think it's high time we let the colonies know what we really think of them. I think it's payback time for a little tea party they threw for us a few hundred years ago. I say we go down to those docks tonight and dump that crap where everything from the United Sphincter of Aserica belongs. Who's with me? Who's bloody with me? Did you like that? U.S.A, Ulcered Sphincter of Asserica. I mean, what else can you say? Here was a country that had everything, absolutely everything and now, 20 years later, is what? The world's biggest leper colony.Why? Godlessness. Let me say that again. Godlessness. It wasn't the war they started. It wasn't the plague they created. It was Judgement. No one escapes their past. No one escapes Judgement. You think he's not up there? You think he's not watching over this country? How else can you explain it? He tested us, but we came through. We did what we had to do. Islington. Enfield. I was there. I saw it all.Immigrants, Muslims, homosexuals, terrorists. Diseaseridden degenerates. They had to go.Strength through unity. Unity through faith. I am a Godfearing Englishman, and I'm goddamn proud of it. That's quite enough of that, thank you very much. Oh, shit.

   <  V  for  Vendetta  >        -­‐  Remember,  remember  The  5th  of  November  The  gunpowder  treason  and  plot  I  know  of  no  reason  why  the  gunpowder  treason  should  ever  be  forgot  But  what  of  the  man?  I  know  his  name  was  Guy  Fawkes  and  I  know  in  1605,  he  attempted  to  blow  up  the  Houses  of  Parliament.  But  who  was  he  really?  What  was  he  like?    We  are  told  to  remember  the  idea  and  not  the  man.      Because  a  man  can  fail.  He  can  be  caught,  he  can  be  killed  and  forgotten.  But  400  years  later,  an  idea  can  still  change  the  world.  I  have  witnessed  firsthand  the  power  of  ideas.  I've  seen  people  kill  in  the  name  of  them  and  die      defending  them.  But  you  cannot  kiss  an  idea  cannot  touch  it  or  hold  it.  Ideas  do  not  bleed.  They  do  not  feel  pain.  They  do  not  love.  And  it  is  not  an  idea  that  I  miss.  It  is  a  man.  A  man  that  made  me  remember  the  5th  of  November.    A  man  that  I  will  never  forget.        -­‐  So  I  read  that  the  former  United  States  is  so  desperate  for  medical  supplies  that  they  have  allegedly  sent  several  containers  filled  with  wheat  and  tobacco.  A  gesture,  they  said,  of  goodwill.  You  wanna  know  what  I  think?  Well,  you're  listening  to  my  show,  so  I  will  assume  you  do.  I  think  it's  high  time  we  let  the  colonies  know  what  we  really  think  of  them.  I  think  it's  payback  time  for  a  little  tea  party  they  threw  for  us  a  few  hundred  years  ago.  I  say  we  go  down  to  those  docks  tonight  and  dump  that  crap  where  everything  from  the  United  Sphincter  of  As-­‐erica  belongs.  Who's  with  me?      Who's  bloody  with  me?  Did  you  like  that?  U.S.A,  Ulcered  Sphincter  of  Ass-­‐erica.  I  mean,  what  else  can  you  say?  Here  was  a  country  that  had  everything,  absolutely  everything  and  now,  20  years  later,  is  what?  The  world's  biggest  leper  colony.Why?  Godlessness.  Let  me  say  that  again.  Godlessness.  It  wasn't  the  war  they  started.  It  wasn't  the  plague  they  created.  It  was  Judgement.  No  one  escapes  their  past.  No  one  escapes  Judgement.  You  think  he's  not  up  there?  You  think  he's  not  watching  over  this  country?  How  else  can  you  explain  it?  He  tested  us,  but  we  came  through.  We  did  what  we  had  to  do.  Islington.  Enfield.  I  was  there.  I  saw  it  all.Immigrants,  Muslims,  homosexuals,  terrorists.  Disease-­‐ridden  degenerates.  They  had  to  go.Strength  through  unity.  Unity  through  faith.  I  am  a  God-­‐fearing  Englishman,  and  I'm  goddamn  proud  of  it.      -­‐  That's  quite  enough  of  that,  thank  you  very  much.  Oh,  shit.

stands  vivified  and  has  vowed  to  vanquish  these  venal  and  virulent  vermin  vanguarding  vice  and  vouchsafing  the  violently  vicious  and  voracious  violation  of  volition.  The  only  verdict  is  vengeance,  a  vendetta  held  as  a  votive  not  in  vain,  for  the  value  and  veracity  of  such  shall  one  day  vindicate  the  vigilant  and  the  virtuous.  Verily,  this  vichyssoise  of  verbiage  veers  most  verbose.  So  let  me  simply  add  that  it's  my  very  good  honor  to  meet  you  and  you  may  call  me  V.    -­‐  Are  you,  like,  a  crazy  person?    -­‐  I  am  quite  sure  they  will  say  so.  But  to  whom,  might  I  ask,  am  I  speaking?    -­‐  I'm  Evey.    -­‐  Evey?  E-­‐vey.  Of  course  you  are.      -­‐  What  does  that  mean?    -­‐  It  means  that  I,  like  God  do  not  play  with  dice  and  do  not  believe  in  coincidence.  Are  you  hurt?    -­‐  No,  I'm  fine.  Thanks  to  you.    -­‐  Oh,  I  merely  played  my  part.  But  tell  me,  do  you  enjoy  music,  Evey?    -­‐  I  suppose.    -­‐  You  see,  I'm  a  musician  of  sorts  and  on  my  way  to  give  a  very  special  performance.      -­‐  what  kind  of  musician?    -­‐  Percussion  instruments  are  my  speciality.  But  tonight  I  inted  to  call  upon  the  entire  orchestra  for  this  particular  event  and  would  be  honored  if  you  could  join  me.      -­‐  I  don't  think  so.  I  sould  go  getting  home.      -­‐  I  promise  you,  it'll  be  like  nothing  you've  ever  seen.  And  afterwards,  you'll  return  home  safely.    -­‐  All  right.  It's  beautiful  up  here.    -­‐  A  more  perfect  stage  could  not  be  asked  for.      -­‐  I  don't  see  any  instruments.      -­‐  Your  powers  of  observation  continue  to  serve  you  well.  But  wait.  It  is  to  Madame  Justice  that  I  dedicate  this  concerto  in  honor  of  the  holiday  she  seems  to  have  taken

from  these  parts  and  in  recognition  of  the  imposter  that  stands  in  her  stead.  Tell  me,  do  you  know  what  day  it  is,  Evey?      -­‐  November  the  4th.    -­‐  Not  anymore.  Remember,  remember  The  5th  of  November.  The  gunpowder  treason  and  plot  I  know  of  no  reason  why  the  gunpowder  treason  should  ever  be  forgot.  First,  the  overture.  yes.  Yes,  the  strings.  Listen,  carefully,  can  you  hear  it?  Now  the  brass    -­‐  I  can  hear  it.    -­‐  Look  outside,  Mommy.  They're  playing  music.    -­‐  how  do  you  do  that?    -­‐  Wait.  Here  comes  the  crescendo.  How  beautiful,  is  it  not?      -­‐  Gentlemen,  you  have  had  four  hours.  You  had  better  have  results.  Mr.Creedy.    -­‐  The  Bailey  area  is  quarantined.  All  significant  witnesses  have  been  detained.      -­‐  Good.  Mr.Etheridge?    -­‐  A  recording  device  was  found  wired  into  the  central  emergency-­‐broadcast  system.    -­‐  The  DCD  was  Tchaikovsky's  1812  Overture.      -­‐  Add  it  to  the  blacklist.  I  never  want  to  hear  that  music  again.    -­‐  Yes,sir.  We  also  doubled  our  random  sweeps  and  are  monitoring  phone  surveillance  indicating  a  high  percentage  of  conversation  concerned  with  the  explosion.      -­‐  Mr.Dascomb,  what  are  we  doing  about  that?    -­‐  We're  calling  it  an  emergency  demolition.  We  have  spin  coverage  on  the  network  and  throughout  the  InterLink.Several  experts  have  been  lined  up  to  testify  against  the  Bailey's  structual  integrity.      -­‐  I  want  prothero  to  speak  on  the  dangers  of  these  old  buildings  and  how  we  must  avoid  clinging  to  the  edifice  of  a  decadent  past.    he  should  conclude  that  the  New  Bailey  will  become  the  symbl  of  our  time  and  the  future  that  our  conviction  has  rewarded  us.  Mr.Heyer.

-­‐  Our  surveillance  cameras  captured  several  images  of  the  terrorist  though  the  mask  obviously  makes  retinal  identification  impossible.    We  also  managed  to  get  a  picture  of  the  girl  that  Creedy's  men  were  detaining.      -­‐  Who  is  she,  Mr.Finch?    -­‐  Not  sure  yet,  sir.  But  we're  working  on  several  leads.    -­‐  Anything  else?    -­‐  We  located  the  fireworks  launch  and  found  traces  of  the  explosives  used  at  both  sites.  Unfortunately  it  appears  that  despite  the  heavy  level  of  sophistication  these  devices  were  homemade  with  over-­‐the-­‐counter  chemicals  making  them  very  difficult  to  trace.  Whoever  he  is,  chancellor,  he's  very  good.    -­‐  Spare  us  your  professional  annotations,  Mr.Finch.  They  are  irrelevant.      -­‐  Apologies,  chancellor.      -­‐  Gentlemen,  this  is  a  test.  Moments  such  as  these  are  matters  of  faith.  To  fail  is  to  invite  doubt  into  everything  we  believe,  everything  we  have  fought  for.  Doubt  will  plunge  this  country  back  into  chaos,  and  I  will  not  let  that  happen.  Gentlemen,  I  want  this  terrorist  found  and  I  want  him  to  understand  what  terror  really  means.England  prevails.    -­‐  England  prevails.    -­‐  You  think  people  will  buy  this?    -­‐  Why  not?  This  is  the  BTN.  Our  job  is  to  report  the  news,  not  fabricate  it.That's  the  government's  job.    -­‐  On  the  lighter  side  of  things  seems  that  the  crew  responsible  for  the  demolition  of  the  Old  Bailey  wanted  to  give  the  old  girl  a  grand,  albeit  improvised,  sendoff.      -­‐  Although  the  demolition  had  been  planned  for  some  time  the  music  and  the  fireworks  were,  according  to  the  crew  chief    definitely  not  on  the  schedule.      -­‐  We'll  be  right  back.    -­‐  Do  you  believe  that  load  of  bollocks?  I  mean,there  was  no  bloody  demolition.I  saw  it,  the  whole  thing.Did  you  see    it?    -­‐  No.  Last  night  I  was      -­‐  yeah,  that's  right.  You  went  to  see  Daddy  Deitrich,  didn't  you?

-­‐  Must  be  Prothero.  I  wish  someone  had  the  balls  to  tell  that  brat  this  station  ain't  his  plyaground.  What  the  hell  is  this?  Just  put  them  over  there  until  I  can  figure  out  what  they're  for.      -­‐  This  looks  serious.  Her  parents  were  political  activists.  They  were  detained  when  she  was  12.    -­‐  What  happened  to  her?    -­‐  Juvenile  Reclamation  Project  for  5  years.    -­‐  Shit.    -­‐  We're  gonna  need  backup,  but  keep  it  minimal.      -­‐  You  sure  about  that,  sir?    -­‐  I  want  a  chance  to  talk  to  her  before  she  disappears  into  one  of  Creedy's  black  bags.      -­‐  Who's  that?  Don't  piss  me  about.  You  show  me  ID,  or  I'll  get  Storm  Saxon  on  your  ass.Fucking  hell.    -­‐  Come  on,  let's  move.    -­‐  You  two,  cover  these  elevators.  The  rest  of  you  follow  me.      -­‐  Attention.  Attention.  Will  all  personnel  please  evacuate  the  building.  This  is  not  a  drill.  Will  all  personnel  evacuate  the  building.    -­‐  What  the  hell's  going  on?    -­‐  It's  jammed.    -­‐  Break  it  down.    -­‐  Dominic.  Police.  out  of  the  way.  Get  out  of  the  way.Damn  it.    -­‐  I'll  tell  you  what  i  know.  I'll  tell  you  what  I  know.I'll  tell  you  what  i  know.  England  prevails.    -­‐  Clear  the  halls.    -­‐  Sir    -­‐  Help,  Storm,  help.

 -­‐  Don't  touch  it    -­‐  Dad,  what's  wrong  with  the  telly?    -­‐  Good  evening,  London.  Allow  me  first  to  apologize    -­‐  That's  the  emergency  channel.    -­‐  I  do,  like  many  of  you,  appreciate  the  comforts  of  the  everyday  routine  the  security  of  the  familiar,  the  tranquility  of  repetition.      -­‐  Bloody  hell.    -­‐  whereby  important  events  of  the  past  usually  associated  with  someone's  death  or  the  end  of  some  awful,  bloody  struggle  are  celebrated  with  a  nice  holiday.  I  thought  we  could  mark  this  November  the  5th  a  day  that  is,  sadly,  no  longer  remembered  by  taking  some  time  out  of  our  daily  lives  to  sit  down  and  have  a  little  chat.  There  are,  of  course,  those  who  do  not  want  us  to  speak.      -­‐  Let  me  think,  let  me  think.    -­‐  Even  now,  orders  are  being  shouted  into  telephones  and  men  with  guns  will  soon  be  on  their  way.      -­‐  It's  Chancellor  Sutler.    -­‐  Damn  it.    -­‐  Why?  because  while  the  truncheon  may  be  used  in  lieu  of  conversation  words  will  always  retain  their  power.  Words  offer  the  means  to  meaning  and,  for  those  who  will  listen,  the  enunciation  of  truth.  And  the  truth  is  there  is  something  terribly  wrong  with  this  country,  isn't  there?      -­‐  You  designed  it,  wanted  it  foolproof.  You  said  every  television  in  London.    -­‐  Cruelty  and  injustice,  intolerance  and  oppression.  And  where  once  you  had  the  freedom  to  object  to  think  and  speak  as  you  saw  fit  you  now  have  censors  and  surveillance  coercing  your  conformity  and  soliciting  submission.    -­‐  Cameras.  We  need  cameras.      -­‐  How  did  this  happen?  Who's  to  blame?    certainly  there  are  those  who  are  more  responsible  than  others.  And  they  will  be  held  accountable.  But  again,  truth  be  told,  if  you're  looking  for  the  guilty  you  need  only  look  into  a  mirror.  I  know  why  you  did  it.  I  know  you  were  afraid.  Who  wouldn't  be?  War,  terror,  disease.  There  were  a

myriad  of  problems  which  conspired  to  corrupt  your  reason  and  rob  you  of  your  common  sense.  Fear  got  the  best  of  you.  And  in  your  panic,  you  turned  to  the  now  High  Chancellor  Adam  Sutler.  He  promised  you  order,  he  promised  you  peace  and  all  he  demanded  in  return  was  your  silent,  obedient  consent.      -­‐  Inspector,  they're  almost  through.      -­‐  Last  night,  I  sought  to  end  that  silence.  Last  night,  I  destroyed  the  Old  Bailey  to  remind  this  country  of  what  it  has  forgotten.  More  than  400  years  ago,  a  great  ctizen  wished  to  imbed  the  5th  of  November  forever  in  our  memory.  His  hope  was  to  remind  the  world  that  fairness,  justice  and  freedom  are  more  than  words.  They  are  perspectives.  So  if  you'be  seen  nothing  if  the  crimes  of  this  government  remain  unknown  to  you  then  I  would  suggest  that  you  allow  the  5th  of  November  to  pass  unmarked.  But  if  you  see  what  I  see,  if  you  feel  as  I  feel,  and  if  you  would  seek  as  I  seek,  then  I  ask  you  to  stand  beside  me,  one  year  from  tonight  outside  the  gates  of  Parliament.  And  together,  we  shall  give  them  a  5th  of  November  that  shall  never,  ever  be  forgot.    -­‐  Kerosene  fog.  He's  using  our  smoke  machines.    -­‐  Cover  the  exits.No  one  gets  out.  The  rest  of  you,  follow  me.  Left.  You  go  right.  Spread  out.      -­‐  Don't  shoot.  Please  don't  shoot.    -­‐  Hold  your  fire.    -­‐  He  put  masks  on  all  of  us.    -­‐  Jesus    -­‐  don't  shoot    -­‐  Wait.    -­‐  hold  your  fire.    -­‐  Freeze  Nobody  move.  If  you're  wearing  a  mask,  get  down  on  your  knees.  Now.  Get  their  masks  off.    -­‐  Please  hurry.  There's  a  bomb  in  the  control  booth.      -­‐  Oh,no.    -­‐  Jones,  get  anyone  not  wearing  a  mask  out  of  here.

 -­‐  I'm  sorry,  inspector,  I  simply  cannot  recall.      -­‐  Was  there  a  specific  profile  of  those  being  sent  there?    -­‐  usual  undesirables,  I  should  think    -­‐  But  do  you  know?    -­‐  Of  course  not.  I  wasn't  stationed  there.      -­‐  Do  you  know  who  was?    -­‐  I  cannot  recall  specific  names,  but  if  you  look  through  our  records      -­‐  Your  records  are  either  deleted,  omitted  or  missing.  As  head  of  the  Detention  program  at  that      -­‐  Before  you  go  nay  further,  let  me  remind  you  things  were  very  chaotic  back  then.  Now  we  don't  have  the  problems  we  had  back  then.    We  all  did  what  we  had  to  do.  And  in  those  circumstances,  we  did  the  best  we  could.  There's  all  I  have  to  say  about  that.      -­‐  You  can  do  this.  Hi.  I've  been  thinking.  There's  something  I  want  to  ask  you  but  i  don't  think  you'll  understand  why  unless  you  know  a  few  things  about  me.  My  father  was  a  writer.  you  would  have  liked  him.  He  used  to  say  artists  used  lies  to  tell  the  truth  while  politicians  used  them  to  cover  the  truth  up.      -­‐  A  man  after  my  own  heart.    -­‐  He  always  told  the  best  stories.  Until  my  brother  died.  That  was  when  everything  changed.  My  brother  was  one  of  the  students  at  St.Mary's.  After  he  died,  my  parents  became  political.  They  protested  the  war  and  the  Reclamation.  When  Sutler  was  appointed  high  chancellor,  they  were  at  the  riot  in  Leeds.  I  watched  on  the  television  thinking  I  was  going  to  see  my  parents  killed.  I  remember  them  arguing  at  night.  Mum  wanted  to  leave  the  country.  Dad  refused.  He  said  if  we  ran  away,  they  would  win.  Win,  like  it  was  a  game.      -­‐  Evey,  quick,  hide.      -­‐  Mummy    -­‐  Evey.    -­‐  I  never  saw  them  again.  it  was  like  those  black  bags  erased  them  from  the  face  of  the  earth.

 -­‐  I'm  sorry,  Evey.    -­‐  No,  I'm  the  one  that's  sorry.  Sorry  I'm  not  a  stronger  person.  Sorry  I'm  not  like  my  parents.  I  wish  I  was  but  I'm  not.  I  wish  I  wasn't  afraid  all  the  time  but  I  am.  I  know  this  world  is  screwed  up.  Believe  me,  I  know  it  better  than  most.  Which  why  I  wanted  to  ask,  if  there  is  anything  I  can  do  to  help  make  it  right,  please  let  me  know.      -­‐  If  you  wish    -­‐  Do  you  really  think  you'll  find  something  here?      -­‐  Worth  a  shot.  One  thing  is  true  of  all  governments.  The  most  reliable  records  are  tax  records.      -­‐  It  appears  that  the  original  electronic  records  have  all  been  lost.  Probably  during  the  Reclamation.  A  lot  of  things  went  missing  back  then.  But  I  found  this  hard  copy  filed  in  the  cold  vault.Everything  we've  got  on  Larkhill  is  in  there.      -­‐  Thanks.  This  is  a  great  help.      -­‐  By  the  power  of  truth,  I,  while  living,  have  conquered  the  universe.    -­‐  Personal  motto?    -­‐  from  Faust.    -­‐  That's  about  trying  to  cheat  the  devil,  isn't  it?      -­‐  It  is.  And  speaking  of  the  devil,  I  was  wondering  if  your  offer  to  help  was  still  standing.    -­‐  Of  course.    -­‐  It  appears  unforeseen  circumstances  have  accelerated  my  original  plan.  As  a  result,  I'm  in  need  of  someone  with  some  theatrical  skill.    -­‐  I'll  do  my  best.    -­‐  I  believe  you  will.    -­‐  Another  doctor.  Why  does  a  detention  facility  need  so  many  doctors?        -­‐  I  don't  know,  but  this  is  interesting.  The  highest  paid  person  at  the  camp  was  a  priest.

 -­‐  But    -­‐  You're  wondering  why  you  were  invited  here  to  supper  in  the  first  place  if  my  appetites  were  for  less  conventional  fare.  Unfortunately,  a  man  in  my  position  is  expected  to  entertain  young  and  attractive  ladies  like  yourself.  Because  in  this  world,  if  I  were  to  invite  who  I  desired  I  would  undoubtedly  find  myself  without  a  home,  let  alone  a  television  show.      -­‐  I'm  sorry.    -­‐  Not  as  sorry  as  I  am.  The  truth  is,  after  so  many  years  you  begin  to  lose  more  than  just  your  appetite.  You  were  a  mask  for  so  long,  you  forgot  who  you  were  beneath  it.    -­‐  I'm  sorry,  chief  inspector.  Same  basic  toxicology  as  Prothero.  You  could  get  these  poisons  from  any  house  in  London.    -­‐  Thanks,  Delia.      -­‐  Any  leads  on  finding  this  guy?    -­‐  Honestly,  nothing  yet.  But  there's  something  else  you  can  help  me  with.  You  started  as  a  botanist,  didn't  you?      -­‐  It's  a  Scarlet  Carson.  They're  believed  to  be  extinct.      -­‐  He  leaves  them  at  the  crime  scenes.  I'd  appreciate  it  if  you  could  have  a  look  at  it.  Any  informaton  could  be  helpful.      -­‐  Of  course.      -­‐  Excuse  me.  Yeah?    -­‐  I  just  finished  going  through  the  file,  inspector.  You  better  get  back  here.    -­‐  Yeah,  okay.  My  God.  He's  killed  them  all.    -­‐  All  but  one.    -­‐  Who  is  she?    -­‐  Not  sure.  She's  clearly  one  of  the  people  in  charge  at  Larkhill.  But  after  they  shut  it  down,  she  disappeared  for  2  years.  Till  she  applied  for  an  overseas  visa,  which  was  denied.      -­‐  Running  away?

 -­‐  Probably,  because  after  that,  all  record  of  her  seems  to  stop.      -­‐  She  changed  her  name.    -­‐  That's  what  I'm  guessing.  I  put  a  call  in  to  the  registrym  but  I  haven't  heard  back.  It's  late,  or  early.    -­‐  Call  them  again.  I  want  that  name.      -­‐  What?  Are  you  sure  about  that?  Okay.  Thank  you.  Dr.Diana  Stanton  changed  her  name  to  Delia  Surridge.      -­‐  The  coroner?    -­‐  Yeah.      -­‐  Jesus.  I  just  saw  her.      -­‐  it's  you,  isn't  it?  You've  come  to  kill  me.      -­‐  yes.      -­‐  Thank  God.    -­‐  I'm  sorry,  I  can't  get  a  response  from  that  number.  There's  a  problem  with  the  connection.      -­‐  Jesus  Christ.  He's  there.    -­‐  After  what  happened,  after  what  they  did,  I  thought  about  killing  myself.  But  I  knew  that  one  day  you'd  come  for  me.  I  didn't  know  what  they  were  going  to  do.  I  swear  to  you.  Read  my  journal.    -­‐  What  they  did  was  only  possible  because  of  you.      -­‐  Oppenheimer  was  able  to  change  more  than  the  course  of  a  war.  He  changed  the  entire  course  of  human  history.It  is  wrong  to  hold  on  to  that  kind  of  hope?      -­‐  I  have  not  come  for  what  you  hoped  to  do.  I've  come  for  what  you  did.      -­‐  It's  funny.  I  was  given  one  of  your  roses  today.  I  wasn't  sure  you  were  the  terrorist  until  I  saw  it.  What  a  strange  coincidence,  that  I  should  be  given  one  today.    -­‐  There  are  no  coincidences,  Delia.  Only  the  illusion  of  coincidence.  I  have  another  rose.  And  this  one  is  for  you.

 -­‐  Come  on,  move    -­‐  May  27th.  Commander  Prothero  toured  the  lab  with  a  priest,  Father  Lilliman  who  I  was  told  is  here  to  monitor  for  Rules  and  Rights  violations.  it  made  me  nervous,  but  the  commander  assured  me  there  wouldn't  be  a  problem.  June  2nd.      I  keep  wondering  if  these  people  knew  how  they  might  be  helping  their  country  if  they  would  act  any  differently.  They're  so  weak  and  pathetic.  They  never  look  you  in  the  eye.  I  find  myself  hating  them.  August  the  18th.  Or  the  original  four  dozen,  over  75  percent  are  now  deceased.  No  controllable  pattern  has  yet  emerged.  September  the  18th.      There  is  one  case  that  continues  to  give  me  hope.  He  exhibits  none  of  the  immune-­‐system  pathologies  the  other  subjects  developed.  I've  discovered  cellular  anomalies  in  his  blood  that  I've  been  unable  to  catagorize.  The  mutations  seem  to  have  triggered  the  abnormal  development  of  basic  kinesthesia  and  reflexes.  the  subject  said  he  could  no  longer  remember  who  he  was  or  where  he  was  from.  Whoever  he  was,  he  is  now  the  key  to  our  dream  and  the  hope  that  all  of  this  will  not  have  been  in  vain.  November  the  5th.  It  started  last  night,  around  midnight.  The  first  explosions  tore  open  the  entire  medical  section.  All  my  work,  gone.  I  was  trying  to  understand  how  it  could've  happened  when  I  saw  him.  The  man  from  room  5.  Not  with  eyes.  There  were  no  eyes.  But  I  know  he  was  looking  at  me  because  I  felt  it.  Oh,  God.  What  have  I  done?      -­‐  What  is  that  you're  making?    -­‐  We  called  it  eggie  in  the  basket.  My  mum  used  to  make  them.    -­‐  This  is  weird.    -­‐  What?    -­‐  The  first  morning  I  was  with  him,  he  made  me  eggs  just  like  this.    -­‐  really?    -­‐  I  swear.    -­‐  That  is  a  strange  coincidence.  Although  there's  an  obvious  explanation.      -­‐  There  is?    -­‐  yes,  Evey.  I  am  V.  At  last  you  know  the  truth.  you're  stunned.  I  know.  Hard  to  believe,  isn't  it,  that  beneath  this  wrinkled,  well-­‐fed  exterior  there  lies  a  dangerous  killing  machine  with  a  fetish  for  Fawkesian  masks.

 -­‐  That  is  not  funny,  Gordon.    -­‐  Yeah,  I  know.  I'm  useless  without  a  studio  audience.      -­‐  I've  seen  people  go  to  jail  for  less  than  that.      -­‐  Of  course,  he  was  right,  wasn't  he?  There  is  something  wrong  with  this  country.    -­‐  Morning  inspector.  You're  at  it  early.  Is  something  wrong?  You  don't  look  so  good,  sir.    -­‐  I  wanna  ask  you  a  question,  Dominic.  I  don't  care  if  you  answer  me  or  not.  I  just  wanna  say  this  aloud.  But  I  need  to  know  that  this  question  will  not  leave  this  office.      -­‐  Yeah,  of  course,  inspector,  but    Because  of  the  terrorist?      -­‐  No.      -­‐  So,  what  is  it,  chief?  What's  going  on?    -­‐  The  question  I  want  to  ask  is  about  St.Mary's  and  Three  Waters.  The  question  that's  kept  me  up  for  the  last  24  hours.  The  question  I  have  to  ask,  is  what  if  the  worst  the  most  horrifying  biological  attack  in  this  country's  history  was  not  the  work  of  religious  extremists?      -­‐  Well,  I  don't  understand.  We  know  it  was.  They  were  caught.  They  confessed.      -­‐  And  they  were  executed.  I  know.  And  maybe  that's  really  what  happened.  But  I  see  this  chain  of  events,  these  coincidences,  and  I  have  to  ask  what  if  that  isn't  what  happened?  What  if  someone  else  unleashed  that  virus?  What  if  someone  else  killed  all  those  people?  Would  you  really  wanna  know  who  it  was?      -­‐  Sure.    -­‐  Even  if  it  was  someone  working  for  this  government?  That's  my  question.  If  our  government  was  responsible  for  what  happened  at  St.Mary's  and  Three  waters,  if  our  own  government  was  responsible  for  the  deaths  of  almost  100,000  people,  would  you  really  wanna  know?    -­‐  This  has  to  be  the  bloody  coldest  March  in  years.      -­‐  Keep  talking  like  that,  we'll  lose  our  party  status.    -­‐  They're  pack  of  lying,  greedy  hypocrites.

 -­‐  I'd  always  known  what  I  wanted  to  do  with  my  life  and  in  2015  I  starred  in  my  first  film,  The  Salt  Flats.  It  was  the  most  important  role  of  my  life.  Not  because  of  my  career  but  because  that  was  how  I  met  Ruth.  The  first  time  we  kissed,  I  knew  I  never  wanted  to  kiss  any  other  lips  but  hers  again.  We  moved  to  a  small  flat  in  London  together.  She  grew  Scarlet  Carsons  for  me  in  our  window  box  and  our  place  always  smelt  of  roses.  Those  were  the  best  years  of  my  life.  But  America's  war  grew  worse  and  worse,  and  eventually  came  to  London.    -­‐  The  bill  proposed  by  the  Undersecretary  for  Defense,  Adam  Sutler  to  close  the  remaining  tube  stations  passed  with      -­‐  After  that,  there  were  no  roses  anymore.Not  for  anyone.      -­‐  You  won't  last  much  longer.  You're  gonna  die  here.  Why  protect  someone  who  doesn't  give  a  shit  about  you?      -­‐  I  remember  how  the  meaning  of  words  began  to  change.  How  unfamiliar  words  like  "collateral"  and  "rendition"  became  frightening  while  things  like  "Norsefire"  and  the  "Articles  of  Allegiance"  became  powerful.  I  remember  how  "different"  became  dangerous.  i  still  don't  understand  it  why  they  hate  us  so  much.  They  took  Ruth  while  she  was  out  buying  food.      I've  never  cried  so  hard  in  my  life.  It  wasn't  long  till  they  came  for  me.  It  seems  strange  that  my  life  should  end  in  such  a  terrible  place.  But  for  3  years,  I  had  roses  and  apologized  to  no  one.  I  shall  die  here.  Every  inch  of  me  shall  perish.  Every  inch  but  one.An  inch.  It  is  small,  and  it  is  fragile  and  it  is  the  only  thing  in  the  world  worth  having.  we  must  never  lose  it  or  give  it  away.  We  must  never  let  them  take  it  from  us.  I  hope  that,  whoever  you  are,  you  escape  this  place.  I  hope  that  the  world  turns  and  that  things  get  better.  But  what  I  hope  most  of  all  is  that  you  understand  what  I  mean  when  I  tell  you  that  even  though  I  do  not  know  you  and  even  though  I  may  never  meet  you,  laugh  with  you,  cry  with  you,  or  kiss  you.  I  love  you.  With  all  my  heart.  I  love  you.  Varelie.    -­‐  I'm  instructed  to  inform  you  that  you  have  been  convicted  by  special  tribunal  and  that  unless  you  are  ready  to  offer  your  coope  ration,  you  are  to  be  executed.  Do  you  understand  what  I'm  telling  you?      -­‐  yes.    -­‐  Are  you  ready  to  cooperate?    -­‐  No    -­‐  very  well.  Escort  Miss  Hammond  back  to  her  cell.  Arrange  a  detail  of  6  men  and  take  her  out  behind  the  chemical  shed  and  shoot  her.

 -­‐  It's  time,    -­‐  I'm  ready.    -­‐  Look,  all  they  want  is  one  little  piece  of  information.  Just  give  them  something,  anything.      -­‐  Thank  you  but  I'd  rather  die  behind  the  chemical  sheds.    -­‐  Then  you  have  no  fear  anymore.  You're  completely  free.      -­‐  What?    -­‐  Hello,  Evey.      -­‐  You.  It  was  you    -­‐  Yeah    -­‐  That  wasn't  real.  Is  Gordon?    -­‐  I'm  sorry,  but  Mr.Deitrich's  dead.  I  thought  they'd  arrest  him  but  when  they  found  a  Koran  in  his  house,  they  had  him  executed.      -­‐  Oh,  God.    -­‐  Fortunately,  I  got  to  you  before  they  did.      -­‐  You  got  to  me?  You  did  this  to  me?  You  cut  my  hair?  You  tortured  me.  You  tortured  me.  Why?      -­‐  You  said  you  wanted  to  live  without  fear.  I  wish  there'd  been  an  easier  way  but  there  wasn't    -­‐  Oh,  my  God.      -­‐  I  know  you  may  never  forgive  me  but  nor  will  you  understand  how  hard  it  was  for  me  to  do  what  I  did.  Every  day,  I  saw  in  myself  everything  you  see  in  me  now.  Every  day,  I  wanted  to  end  it.  But  each  time  you  refused  to  give  in,  I  knew  I  couldn't.      -­‐  You're  sick.  You're  evil.    -­‐  You  could  have  ended  it.  You  could  have  given  in,  but  you  didn't.  Why?    -­‐  Leave  me  alone.  I  hate  you.

 -­‐  That's  it.  See,  at  first,  I  thought  it  was  hate  too.  Hate  was  all  I  knew.  It  built  my  world,  imprisoned  me  taught  me  how  to  eat,  how  to  drink,  how  to  breathe.  i  thought  I'd  die  with  all  the  hate  in  my  veins.  But  then  something  happened.  It  happened  to  me  just  as  it  happened  to  you.      -­‐  Shut  up.  I  don't  want  to  hear  your  lies.      -­‐  Your  own  father  said  that  artists  use  lies  to  tell  the  truth.  yes,  I  created  a  lie.  But  because  you  believed  it,  you  found  something  true  about  yourself.      -­‐  No    -­‐  What  was  true  in  that  cell  is  true  now.  What  you  felt  in  there  has  nothing  to  do  with  me.      -­‐  I  can't  feel  anything  anymore.      -­‐  Don't  run  from  it,  Evey.  You've  been  running  all  your  life.      -­‐  I  can't  I  can't  breath.  Asthma.  When  I  was  little      -­‐  Listen  to  me,  Evey.  This  may  be  the  most  important  moment  of  your  life.  Commit  to  it.  They  tool  your  parents  from  you.  They  took  your  brother  from  you.  They  put  you  in  a  cell  and  took  everything  they  could  take  except  your  life.  And  you  believed  that  was  all  there  was,  didn't  you?  The  only  thing  you  had  left  was  your  life,  but  it  wasn't.      -­‐  Oh,  please.    -­‐  You  doung  something  else.  In  that  cell,  you  found  something  that  mattered  more  to  you  than  life.  When  they  threatened  to  kill  you  unless  you  gave  what  they  wanted  you  told  them  you'd  rather  die.  you  faced  your  death,  Evey.      You  were  calm.  You  were  still.  Try  to  feel  now  what  you  felt  then.      -­‐  Oh,  God.  I  felt      -­‐  Yes?    -­‐  I'm  dizzy.  I  need  air.  Please,  I  need  to  be  outside.    -­‐  There's  a  lift.  It'll  take  us  to  the  roof.    -­‐  God  is  in  the  rain.  V.  I'm  leaving.

Rookwood.  The  day  after  the  St.Mary's  outbreak,  Percy  gives  his  Beretta  a  blowjob,  Keyes  dies  in  a  fire      -­‐  Rookwood  goes  missing.      -­‐  Bloody  coincidences  are  making  me  sick  to  my  stomach.      -­‐  Rookwood.  How  do  I  know  that  name?  Shit.  He  must  have  had  a  hidden  trip  on  his  file  at  the  Finger.    -­‐  But  how'd  he  know  it  was  you?  What  do  we  do?    -­‐  I'm  a  cop.  I  have  to  know.      -­‐  I  came  when  they  opened  it.  It  gave  me  the  collywobbles.  Still  does.      -­‐  That's  close  enough,  inspector.    -­‐  We're  not  wired.    -­‐  I'm  sorry,  but  a  man  in  my  position  survives  by  taking  every  precaution.      -­‐  You  have  information  for  us?    -­‐  No,  you  already  have  the  information.  All  the  names  and  dates  are  inside  your  head.  What  you  want,  what  you  really  need,  is  a  story.      -­‐  A  story  can  be  true  or  false.      -­‐  I  leave  such  judgements  to  you,  inspector.  Our  story  begins,  as  these  stories  often  do  with  a  young,  up-­‐and-­‐coming  politician.  He's  a  deeply  religious  man  and  a  member  of  the  Conservative  Party.  He's  completely  single-­‐minded  and  has  no  regard  for  the  political  process.  The  more  power  he  attains,  the  more  obvious  his  zealotry  and  the  more  aggressive  his  supporters  become.  Everntually,  his  party  launches  a  special  project  in  the  name  of  national  security.  At  first  it's  believed  to  be  a  search  for  biological  weapons  and  it's  pursued  without  regard  to  its  cost.  However,  the  true  goal  of  this  project  is  power.Complete  and  total  hegemonic  domination.  The  project,  however,  ends  violently.  But  the  efforts  of  those  involved  are  not  in  vain  for  a  new  ability  to  wage  war  is  born  from  the  blood  of  one  of  the  victims.        Imagine  a  virus,  the  most  terrifying  virus  you  can  and  then  imagine  that  you  alone  have  the  cure.  But  if  your  ultimate  goal  is  power,  how  best  to  use  such  a  weapon?  Well,  it's  at  thi  point  in  our  story  that  along  comes  a  spider.        He's  a  man  seemingly  without  a  conscience  for  whom  the  end  always  justify  the  means.  He  suggests  that  their  target  should  not  be  an  enemy  of  the  country  but

rather,  the  country  itself.  Three  targets  are  chosen  to  maximize  the  effect  of  the  attack.  A  school,  a  tube  station  and  a  water-­‐treatment  plant.  Several  hundred  die  within  the  first  few  weeks.    -­‐  Three  Waters  has,  in  fact,  been  contaminated.      -­‐  Authorities  are  attempting  to  control  its  deadly  spread.      -­‐  sent  destruction  through  the  Underground.        -­‐  Fueled  by  the  media,  fear  and  panic  spread  quickly  fracturing  and  dividing  the  country  until,  at  last,  the  true  goal  comes  into  view.  Before  the  St.mary's  crises  no  one  would  have  predicted  the  results  of  the  election  that  year.  no  one.  And  then  not  long  after  the  election,  lo  and  behold,  a  miracle.  Some  believed  it  was  the  work  of  God  himself.  but    it  was  a  pharmaceutical  company  controlled  by  certain  party  members  that  made  them  all  obscenely  rich.  A  year  later,  several  extremists  are  tried,  found  guilty  and  executed  while  a  memorial  is  built  to  canonize  their  victims.  But  the  end  result,  the  true  genius  of  the  plan,  was  the  fear.  Fear  became  the  ultimate  tool  of  this  government.  Through  it,  out  politician  was  ultimately  appointed  to  the  newly  created  position  of  high  chancellor.  The  rest,  as  they  say,  is  history.      -­‐  Can  you  prove  any  of  this?    -­‐  Why  do  you  think  I'm  still  alive?    -­‐  All  right.  We'd  like  to  take  you  into  protective  custody,  Mr.Rookwood.      -­‐  I'm  sure  you  would.  But  if  you  want  that  recording,  you'll  do  what  I  tell  you  to  do.  Put  Creedy  under  24  hour  surveillance.  When  I  feel  safe  he  can't  pick  his  nose  without  you  knowing.  I'll  contact  you  again.  Till  then,  cheero    -­‐  Brookwood.  Why  didn't  you  come  forward  before?  What  were  you  waiting  for?    -­‐  Well,  for  you,  inspector.  I  needed  you.      -­‐  What's  he  doing  in  the  dark  there?    -­‐  Creepy  Creedy.  Not  sure  I  wanna  know.      -­‐  Sutler  can  no  longer  trust  you,  can  he,  Mr.Creedy?  And  we  both  know  why.  After  I  destroy  Parliament,  his  only  chance  will  be  to  offer  them  someone  else,  some  other  piece  of  meat.  And  who  will  that  be?  You,  Mr.Creedy.  A  man  as  smart  as  you  has  probably  considered  this.  A  man  as  smart  as  you  probably  has  a  plan.  That  plan  is  the  reason  Sutler  no  longer  trusts  you.  It's  the  reason  why  you're  being  watched  right  now,  why  there  are  eyes  and  ears  in  every  room  of  this  house  and  a  tap  on  every  phone.

 -­‐  So,  what  do  we  do  now,  inspector?    -­‐  We  do  what  we  should  have  been  doing.  We  find  him.    -­‐  Every  day,  gentlmen.  Every  day  that  brings  us  closer  to  November.  Every  day  that  man  remains  free  is  one  more  failure.  347  days,  gentlemen.347  failures.      -­‐  Chancellor,  we  do  not  have  the  adequate  force      -­‐  We  are  being  buried  beneath  the  avalanche  of  your  inadequacies,  Mr.Creedy.      -­‐  I'll  get  it.    -­‐  Eric  Finch?    -­‐  Yeah.  Bloody  hell.  How  many  went  out?    -­‐  So  far  we  count  8  boxcars.  Several  hundred  thousand,  at  least.    -­‐  Christ.    -­‐  I  want  anyone  caught  with  one  of  those  masks  arrested.      -­‐  Give  me  the  money.  Give  me  the  fucking  money.      -­‐  We're  under  siege  here.  The  whole  city's  gone  mad.      -­‐  This  is  exactly  what  he  wants.    -­‐  What?    -­‐  Anarchy  in  the  UK    -­‐  Chaos.    -­‐  Mr.Creedy,  I  am  holding  you  personally  responsible  for  this  situation.      -­‐  The  problem  is  that  he  knows  us  better  than  we  know  ourselves.  That's  why  I  went  to  larkhill  last  night.      -­‐  That's  outside  quarantine.    -­‐  i  had  to  see  it.  Tere  wasn't  much  left.  But  when  i  was  there,  it  was  strange.  I  suddenly  had  this  feeling  that  everything  was  connected.  Like  I  could  see  the  whole  thing.  One  long  chain  of  events  that  stretched  all  the  way  back  before  larkhill.  I  felt

like  I  could  see  everything  that  had  happened  and  everything  that  was  going  to  happen.      -­‐  Hey,  you    -­‐  It  was  like  a  perfect  pattern  laid  out  in  front  of  me  and  I  realized  that  we  were  all  a  part  of  it  and  all  trapped  by  it.      -­‐  So  do  you  know  what's  gonna  happen?      -­‐  No,  It  was  a  feeling.  but  I  can  guess.  With  so  much  chaos,  someone  will  do  something  stupid.  And  when  they  do,  things  will  turn  nasty.      -­‐  Rioters  were  arrested  in  Brixton.      -­‐  And  then  Sutler  will  be  forced  to  do  the  only  thing  he  knows  how  to  do.  At  which  point,  all  V  needs  to  do  is  keep  his  word.  And  then....  Tonight's  your  big  night.  You  ready  for  it?  Are  we  ready  for  it?      -­‐  I  missed  this  song.    -­‐  I  didn't  think  you'd  come.    -­‐  I  said  I  would.      -­‐  You  look  well.    -­‐  Thank  you.    -­‐  May  I  inquire  as  to  how  you've  avoided  detection?    -­‐  A  fake  ID  works  better  than  a  Guy  Fawkes  mask.      -­‐  I  must  confess,  every  time  I  heard  a  siren,  I  worried  about  you.      -­‐  I  worried  about  myself  for  a  while.  but  then,  one  day,  I  was  at  a  market  and  a  friend,  someone  I  had  worked  with  at  the  BTN,  got  in  line  behind  me,  I  was  so  nervous  that  when  the  cashier  asked  me  for  my  momey,  i  dropped  it.  My  friend  picked  it  up  and  handed  it  to  me.  She  looked  at  me  right  in  the  eyes  didn't  recognize  me.  I  guess  whatever  you  did  t  me  worked  better  than  I'd  have  imagined.      -­‐  I  have  a  gift  for  you,  Evey.  But  before  I  give  it  to  you,  I'd  like  to  ask  you  something.  Would  you  dance  with  me?    -­‐  Now?  On  the  eve  of  your  revolution?
