SCENE FORTY THREE - LIMOUSINE - NIGHT INT
Everyone's spread out over the slumbering form of Le Carre. The car suddenly swings violently, throwing everyone to one side.
DINAH
Aargh!
AC
What the hell?
OLIVER
Impulse!
BART
Sorry.
OLIVER
Have you even driven a car before?
BART
Of course not. Why would I?
AC
We're all gonna die…
DINAH
Let's get what we came for first.
She leans over Le Carre, gives him two quick, rough slaps.
DINAH
Hey!
AC nudges Oliver.
AC
That turn you on?
OLIVER
Shut up.
Le Carre stirs, still groggy, blinks up at the faces gathered around him.
LE CARRE
What the…?
OLIVER
Can you hear me?
LE CARRE
Er… yes. Who the hell are you people?
OLIVER
We just wanna ask you a coupla questions.
DINAH
(stern)
We'll only ask nicely once!
AC nudges Oliver again.
AC
Come on, don't tell me that doesn't turn you on.
Oliver glares at AC, before turning his attention back to Le Carre.
OLIVER
You caught the trail of two reporters. They were staying in your hotel, and you drugged them. We want the antidote.
Le Carre's starting to come round, pulls himself up, looking defiant.
LE CARRE
I don't know what the hell you're talking about.
Before he can blink, Victor's hand shoots out, pinning Le Carre's face to the window, where the lights of Vegas flash by.
DINAH
Told you… only once.
OLIVER
Where's the antidote?
Le Carre squirms, trying to break free, but Victor has him.
LE CARRE
Lemme go! I don't have it!
Victor releases him. Le Carre rubs the side of his face.
ZATANNA
But there is an antidote?
LE CARRE
My sister has the last of it, and she took off. The bitch!
BART
(swings round, arm over the back of the seat)
Dude! That's no way to talk about your sister!
AC
Impulse! Eyes on the road!
BART
Sorry!
Bart turns around again.
OLIVER
You don't know where she is?
LE CARRE
If I did, I'd be able to go through with it.
OLIVER
Through with what?
Le Carre suddenly realises he's said too much, clams up.
OLIVER
Go through with what?
Le Carre shakes his head, refuses to say more. Dinah smirks, lets out a pinpoint sqeak. Le Carre screams, clutching his ears.
AC
She can get even louder.
LE CARRE
Alright, alright…! I was gonna release the stuff into the other casinos. Just chuck the pieces round the board a little bit.
(beat)
My sister got wind of the plan, took off with the antidote. I can't get no guarantee the stuff won't spread to my casinos, so I had to pull the plug.
VICTOR
That's one less thing to worry about.
DINAH
Where's your stash of the potion?
LE CARRE
In my safe.
Dinah glances at Oliver, silently asking the question: 'Can you break in?'
OLIVER
No sweat.
DINAH
We about done with this one?
AC
Looks like…
DINAH
Good. I always wanted to try something.

SCENE FORTY FOUR - LAS VEGAS - STREET CORNER - NIGHT EXT
Couple of late night characters around. The usual: tourists, locals, pimps and cops. They watch as a sleek limo zooms by. Suddenly, the back door opens and a man in a smart suit tumbles out onto the tarmac.
Cut back to:
SCENE FORTY FIVE - LIMOUSINE - NIGHT EXT
Dinah slams the door, and sits back in her seat, smiling sweetly.
DINAH
That was fun.
OLIVER
(taps earpiece)
Watchtower… we're returning to base.
