Part 3 of 11
Chapter 3: The Victims
Chapter 3 picks up where chapter 2 left off, Finch and Dominic are entering the car where Prothero was kidnapped, Finch sits down in one of the seats and behind him we see V's symbol, a circle with a V in it. They examine the bodies and Finch picks up a rose that V left on one of the seats; a Violet Carson, Finch says "I thought they'd been extinct since the war...", Then Finch and Dominic leave.
Next we see V laying an unconscious Prothero on a bed and V closes the door. V heads up a circular stair case to the room where Evey is, she has her head down and is crying, she says she was crying because she didn't know where V went and if he was going to come back, V comforts her and Evey tells him about her life and the war. She tells V about when she heard that countries around the world were getting bombed and that her father wanted to take them to live in the country, but the country wasn't a good place to go, the weather destroyed the crops and since the rest of Europe was bombed there was little food. Over the next four years things got worse, Evey's mother died in 1991 and a new government came to power, Norsefire, they started taking people to put them in "resettlement" camps, they took all the radicals, everyone who wasn't white, etc. Evey says her father was in a socialist group when he was younger and the government took him away, they made Evey work in a factory with other kids, putting matches in boxes. After Evey is finished talking she is very upset and V tries to calm her down.
Then we see Prothero waking up in his commander uniform, from when he was the commander at Lark Hill, he sits up and realizes that he is in a reproduced version of Lark Hill Resettlement Camp.
Then Finch and the leader of the country and Norsefire, Adam Susan are talking. They discuss how they feel that "codename "V" " will not be a conventional terrorist; this is about the only thing in this scene that is really important.
Finally V and Evey are in the shadow Gallery, V is changing behind something (I don't know what to call it) and Evey and V are talking, Evey says "V" is a funny thing to call a person, and she says that he is a kind person for listening to her story and she says that all this theatrical stuff is very important to him. V says the world has forgotten all the melodrama, but he is going to remind then, he steps out from behind the changing thing and is wearing a striped suit and bow tie, a hat (it looks kind of like a top hat, but shorter, again I don't know what to call it.), a different mask that looks kind of funny, and has a cane. He says "You see Evey, all the world's a stage and everything else..... is vaudeville. "
