[We open to the sound of V laughing. It's a wild sort of laugh, louder than one might expect from him...he sounds a little deranged.I saw the BTN's news tonight! Ah, I think they've forgotten me sometimes, but then a glimmer of something always appears to remind me they still care ( Read more... )

People can't possibly believe such a blatant switch in the "facts".

[His voice still sounds a little wild] What do they care if anyone believes it? Sutler is the word of truth, word of God, word of whatever the hell he damned well wants to be!

If he says I made the virus, I suppose I must have, didn't I? Oh, what a fickle, fickle thing the truth is these days! [More laughter]

Well you're a bloody terrorist as far as they're concerned, of course they'd think that it wouldn't be too difficult to try and pin it on you!

Ah, but it all boils down to whether or not people believe! Sutler's worried, or else he'd shut up about me and let people forget.

[Shaky laugh]

He's worried what'll happen on November the 5th, or else he'd leave it alone.

So if he's worried and people aren't forgetting about you because of it, then obviously your mad plan to try and emulate Guy Fawkes is working somehow.

It's working to the extent that people remember what I've promised and, for the most part, don't believe I've shuffled off my mortal coil as Sutler claims.

Whether they heed what I've said will have to wait until November, but I have plans for the interim.

And what about after November?

Sutler and Creedy should be gone by then, and with no line of succession past them, the people will have to choose someone new. They'll have a choice they haven't had for decades, a choice whom they'll be led by.

And after years of being sent to prison for being past curfew, friends and neighbors being captured in black bags and never seen again, and no one being allowed to breathe a word against Norsefire...my hope is they will choose someone who will not be a mirror image of Sutler.

How can you be so sure that it'll work like that?

I can't read the future, but the people are protesting in a thousand little ways already. They've been discontent for years, and this can be their rallying call, what wakes them to choose anew.

The reason they brought Sutler in to begin with was because they were afraid. St. Mary's is gone, and they can see more clearly what it meant to have someone like him in charge.
