Pb (Lead)#15: Amends amiss

CUT TO: OUTSIDE OF COMPOUND

EXT. OUTSIDE COMPOUND- NIGHT

AS DIAMONDFIELD AND PB STRUGGLE WITH ONE ANOTHER ARGON KEEPS THE LIGHT ON PB TRYING TO BLIND HIM. PB IN A SWIFT MOTION PULLS THE DAGGER FROM HIS STOMACH AND GRABS DIAMONDFIELD. HE THEN THROWS HER BACK THROUGH THE AIR AND DIAMONDFIELD SLAMS INTO ARGON CAUSING THE INTENSE LIGHT TO STOP. PB THEN MAKES SOME VISORS OUT OF LEAD AND PUTS THEM ON HIS FACE. HE THEN GRABS HIS STOMACH AND CREATES A BAT OUT OF LEAD. DIAMONDFIELD AND ARGON GET UP AND PB STARTS WALKING OVER TO WHERE THEY ARE.

[Pb]

You have to stop this.

[Diamondfield]

You need to die!

[Pb]

Think about what you're doing! Are you really so blinded to the truth that you would give up the world to a madman because of a personal vendetta?

[Diamondfield]

Why can't you just accept the fact that you ruined our lives? We were caged up like animals because of you and one even lifted a finger to help us! It's your fault that any of this is the way that it is right now!

[Pb]

That's not true and you know it! At the end of the day, neither of you are going to be safe in his world! He'll experiment on you just like he will with everyone else.

[Argon]

Are we supposed to be safer with you? Be locked up again?

[Pb]

This time doesn't have to be like last time. You more than anyone should know about misunderstandings. Whether I not you believe it, you needed to be contained maybe not through those means but possibly in some other way. You have powers and any one of us could have been dangerous. We can make something new. You just have to trust me.

[Diamondfield]

We're never gonna-

[Argon]

I think I'm down.

[Diamondfield]

What?

[Argon]

Think about it. If we use our words rather than just reacting blindly we'll be able to make a case for ourselves. And he just said that he was going to fight for us.

[Diamondfield]

You can't be serious! What if he's lying? What if he just puts us in those boxes again?!

[Pb]

I'm not going to let that happen! You have to listen to me.

[Diamondfield]

No! The one time I did listen to you I was put in a box like an animal! But you, you didn't! Why did they choose you?

DIAMONDFIELD CREATES A DAGGER AND TAKES A SWIPE AT ARGON. ARGON DODGES THE ATTACK AND THEN MAKES HER WAY OVER TO WHERE PB IS.

[Argon]

What the hell is your problem?

[Diamondfield]

How can you just turncoat that way? Have you learned nothing at all?!

[Argon]

I can't let the past consume me. I want to give him the benefit of the doubt.

[Pb]

And you will not regret it.

[Argon]

And you have to admit that Middleton is a bit of a nutjob. I mean I'm glad that he got me out but I'm not willing to help end the world. He doesn't really know what he's doing.
