NO ONE'S POV:

Still Water Hold

(Caitlyn is in front of Vi's cell.)

Caitlyn: I took a look at your file. There's no record of you or your crimes. What are you here for?

Vi: My sunny personality.

Caitlyn: You attacked an inmate. Why?

Vi: Why not?

Caitlyn: He was a witness in an ongoing investigation.

Vi: Hmm, bummer.

Caitlyn: His jaw was already broken, why break his back?

Vi: I appreciate the compliment but do I really look strong enough to break someone's back? Though, that does confirm a suspicion I've had for a while.

Caitlyn: [sighs] This was a waste of time.

(She starts walking away.)

Vi: Couldn't have put it better. Hey, give Silco a kiss on that winning eye of his, will you?

(She comes back.)

*THUD*

Caitlyn: Silco? The industrialist?

Vi: OKay, this is getting old. Can you just send in whoever's gonna kick the shit out of me, so I can get on with my night?

Caitlyn: Does this mean anything to you?

(She shows Vi a picture of the evidence.)

Vi: Where did you get this?

Caitlyn: My question first. He worked for Silco?

Vi: Uh, they all do. How can anyone not know that? Where did you find this?

*THUD*

Caitlyn: There was an attack. This is evidence. I need proof if I'm to believe what you're saying about Silco.

Vi: [scoffs] I could get for you. Just not from in here.

Caitlyn: [snickers] In what mad world would I trust someone like you?

Vi: Someone like me? You enforcers are all the same. Just asshole criminals in fancy uniforms. You know what? Find Silco yourself.

Caitlyn: I will, thank you.

Vi: Hmm...Undercity's gonna eat you alive.

(Caitlyn stands in front of Vi's now open cell after showing the warden her release papers.)

Vi: We're gonna need one more person.

Caitlyn: [sighs] Who?

Vi: The guy who broke your witnesses' back.

Caitlyn: Why would I let an inmate that dangerous out, let alone come with us?

Vi: Because the Undercity's a pretty dangerous place and we're gonna need someone like him on our side. Besides...[whispers] He's family.

Caitlyn: Fine. Do you know what floor he's on?

Vi: No.

Caitlyn: Then how are we supposed to find him?

Vi: How else?

*THUD*

Vi: Follow the thuds.

(Cut to Bane in his cell, blood on his fists, & unconscious inmates down beside him. He looks up at the four enforcers above him.)

Bane: [panting] Are you not entertained?

Enforcers: [clapping]

Enforcer 1: I'm really going to miss this.

Bane: Miss what?

Vi: Hey, big guy.

Bane: [softly] No way...

(He turns around to see Vi standing across from him.)

Caitlyn: I take it this is the guy?

Vi: You're smarter than you look.

(He turns the dial on the back of his hand, powers down, & walks up to them.)

Bane: Vi. You...look good.

Vi: You don't look too bad yourself.

Bane: I like your tattoos. I would've got some myself but I don't get to see the general population at all.

Vi: [chuckles] I believe you.

Caitlyn: [coughs] I don't mean to interrupt the reunion but if we could get a move on?

Bane: Thanks for ruining the moment.

(Cut to the trio outside where Vi's enjoying the fresh air as Bane stands behind her.)

Bane: You really bulked up in there, huh?

Vi: Ha, yeah. Wanna compare muscles?

Bane: *small blush* Maybe later.

Caitlyn: I heard the bathysphere has a nice view. That could be a good way to get a lay of the land.

Vi: Too risky.

(She hops down.)

Caitlyn: What...

(Her & Bane watch as Vi parkours her way down but she stops once she realizes that Bane isn't behind her.)

Vi: What's the hold up?

Bane: I'm a pretty big guy, Vi. I just don't want to fall through a roof.

Vi: You're not going to fall through a roof.

Bane: I don't know.

Vi: What are you? Chicken?

Bane: What did you call me?

Vi: Just come on!

(She continues to parkour down as we pan up to Bane holding out his arms to Caitlyn.)

Caitlyn: What are you doing?

Bane: I'm going to carry you down so jump into my arms.

Caitlyn: I appreciate the offer but I can find a way down myself.

Bane: Seriously?

Caitlyn: You heard me.

Bane: Okay. At least I offered.

(He hops down & parkours after Vi as Caitlyn slowly makes her way down after them. Cut to Bane landing behind Vi who's putting on a jacket.)

Bane: Nice jacket.

Vi: Thanks.

(He looks over at a dumpster to see two people in it.)

Bane: I miss something?

Vi: Nope.

(Caitlyn finally lands in front of them where Vi throws her some clothes.)

Vi: Welcome to the Lanes.

Caitlyn: You almost got me killed.

Bane: I did offer to carry you.

Vi: My little sister could do that when she was seven. All us fissure folk can. Don't you want to blend? And if Bane here offers to carry you again, accept it.

(She looks at him.)

Vi: He's got a good grip.

(Cut to Bane & Vi eating.)

Vi: [slurping] Oh, Jericho! I missed these.

Bane: *mouthful* I love your frog legs.

Jericho: [gibbers, laughs]

(Vi offers Caitlyn some of her food.)

Caitlyn: No. Thank you.

Vi: You're missing out.

Caitlyn: Are you going to question him?

Vi: About what? The meat? Definitely not above board.

Caitlyn: Silco. His connections? Isn't that why we're here?

Vi: We're here because Bane and I are hungry. Do you know what prison food is like? No, or course, you don't.

Caitlyn: Bane. Could you at least, I don't know, intimidate or scare him into giving something up?

Bane: Why would I do that to the best cook in the Undercity?

Jericho: [laughs]

Caitlyn: Unbelievable. I didn't break you two out of jail to eat...slop.

Bane: *swallows* Don't knock it till you try it.

Caitlyn: I knew this was a terrible idea. Neither of you don't actually know anything, do you?

(Vi finishes her bowl of food as Bane leaves only the frog leg bone.)

Vi: Mm. Better than I remember.

Bane: Ten out of ten.

(Jericho slips a napkin to Vi with a symbol on it.)

(Vi walks away with Bane following her as does eventually Caitlyn. On their way to the place on the napkin, Vi & Bane see what has become of The Last Drop. Cut to the trio arriving at the place.)

Vi: The one place all the secrets are spilled.

Bane: Among other things.

Caitlyn: [sighs]

(The trio walk into what seems to be a brothel. Caitlyn looks into each room.)

Caitlyn: How exactly do you propose we go about this?

Vi: Let 'em think you work here.

Caitlyn: Excuse me? I will not.

Vi: You know what your problem is?

Caitlyn: Please. Tell me.

Vi: You expect everyone to give you what you want. If you really want people to talk to you, you have to let them think you have what they want.

Caitlyn: And what do I have?

(Vi kabedons Caitlyn.)

Vi: Don't you think, Bane?

Bane: She's aight.

Vi: Don't listen to him.

Caitlyn: Um...

(Vi grabs a customer & leaves her with Caitlyn.)

Bane: [chuckles] Why is she using that voice?

Vi: How about you?

Bane: Me?

Vi: Man or woman?

Bane: Oh. I'd rather stick with you if you don't mind?

Vi: Really? Okay then. Keep talking like that Bane and I'll start thinking that you love me.

Bane: Heh. Yeah...

(They walk into an office & see a familiar face.)

Babette: Would you believe it?

(Vi sits across from Babette as Bane stands beside the entrance.)

Babette: Sweethearts, I was real sad to hear about Vander. And the kids. Just terrible.

Vi: By the looks of it, no one down here lifted a finger to stop Silco.

Babette: A few tried but Silco's got the muscle...

Bane: His monsters ain't shit.

Babette: And the money. He took over the Last Drop.

Vi: We saw.

Babette: Things have changed without Vander looking out for us.

Vi: Have you heard anything about Powder? I think Silco has her.

(Babette shakes her head.)

Vi: I have to find her.

Bane: We.

Vi: Right. We.

(She stands up.)

Babette: Silco's number two's a regular. I can have Miguel tell you where to find her.

Vi: I owe you.

Babette: It's nothing. Mind if I borrow Bane for a bit?

Vi: Sure. I'll be out front.

Bane: Okay.

(Vi leaves the room.)

Bane: It's, uh, good to see again, Babette.

Babette: It's good to see you too, Bane. You know? You were such a sweet boy when you were younger. Always come by to protect my girls and boys.

Bane: [exhales] Man, I haven't thought about that in forever. Your girls and boys provide a service and if the client wasn't satisfied? That's on them. No need to hurt them. Well...[chuckles] hurt them too bad.

Babette: You're still a sweet boy.

Bane: I don't know if you'd say that after what I've done these past years.

Babette: I'm sure you did what you had to.

Bane: If that's it--

Babette: She's going to figure it out eventually. Vi's a smart girl. Wouldn't it be better for you to tell her yourself rather than that happening?

Bane: [groans] Yes. I'll tell her when the opportunity presents itself.

(He makes his way out front, on the way he sees Caitlyn talking to a girl.)

Bane: Hmm. Good for her.

(He goes out front to see Vi nowhere to be found.)

Bane: Ugh, Vi.

(He turns back inside to ask Miguel where Silco's number two is. Vi on the other hand, has found Silco's number two.)

(Vi & Sevika fight a bit where they end up outside with Sevika telling Vi that Powder works for Silco giving Sevika the chance to stab Vi in the gut. She also whispers in Vi's ear that Jinx is like his daughter.)

Sevika: I'll give her your regards.

(She's about to finish off Vi but a bullet is fired, breaking the shimmer vile in her metal arm. Sevika looks up at Caitlyn. As she's distracted however; a normal sized Bane double axe handle's her in the face.)

*SMASH*

Sevika: Argh!

(She looks directly at Bane.)

Bane: *glares*

(Caitlyn fires shots at Sevika but she's able to escape.)

Vi: Still need me to tell you "Code Green?"

Bane: No. It's just that there wasn't time for that. But there was enough time for you to wait for me.

Vi: That's true.

(Caitlyn regroups with them.)

Vi: Why did you let her go?

Caitlyn: Do you ever say "thank you?" Does she?

Bane: Sometimes. I'll say it for her. Thank you.

Vi: He's gonna know we're here now.

Caitlyn: Whose fault is that?

Bane: Vi. It is Vi's fault.

Vi: You're an all-right shot.

Caitlyn: I'm an excellent shot.

Vi: [sighs] Gonna help me out, cupcake?

Caitlyn: Stop calling me that. My name is Caitlyn.

(She helps her up.)

Bane: Good to know.

Vi: [grunts] But you're so sweet. Like a cupcake.

Caitlyn: [chuckles] Shut up.

Vi: Wouldn't you agree, Bane?

Bane: Yeah, she's definitely a cupcake.

Caitlyn: Don't you start.

(Cut to Sevika limping her way into Silco's office.)

Silco: You're making a mess.

Sevika: The messiah. Has escaped.

Silco: It was only a matter of time. He'll end up in the dirt sooner or later.

Sevika: The sister. Was with him.

Silco: She's back from the dead?
