prothero is staring out his window.
prothero watches the countryside rolling past.
prothero and bodyguard 2 stare at bodyguard 1.
the brakes suddenly lock, throwing bodyguard 2 into prothero.
prothero is sweating.
prothero is terrified.
finch puffs on his pipe, staring at something spray painted on the wall of the train car: a "v" with a circle around it.
finch steps inside the car, his flashlight sweeping over the stacks of gelignite.
finch hears something and jerks back, almost falling out of the car. aiming his gun, he finds no one. he turns and bolts.
evey sets a final violet carson on the chest of v. he is lying on a bed made of gelignite, covered in roses.
inside the rattling train, v lays in perfect repose.
