Re: The Dark Knight Rises
i think its bane's strategy, knowing the CIA will eventually find the wreckage, i think his plan was to throw them off. Leading them to believe it was a suicide mission to begin with. When bane says "crashing this plane, with no survivors!" He also does the blood transfusion thing to throw off the CIA... just my 2 cents.
Well, yeah. He puts Dr. Pavel's blood into that deceased body that is brought in so when they find the wreckage they think everyone on board (CIA, prisoners, Dr. Pavel) died.
But that still doesn't explain why Bane made that follower stay behind. I mean, yeah, sure the CIA agent said "the flight plan that I listed for the agency includes, me, my men, Dr. Pavel here and only ONE of you" and logically the follower had to stay behind for that ONE to be found in the wreckage but who's to say that the agent was telling the truth? The scene tries to be logical but becomes, well, illogical and contrived.
Let's face it, the CIA agent wasn't going to kill them. He
threatened to throw them out of the plane (remember, Bane calls that bluff) so how was Bane sure that he wasn't
threatening with only letting one of them on board? Seemed to me like the agent was just trying to intimidate them to get info about Bane, not waste em. Bane and the other man had to have been in the flight plan he called in as well.
So what happens now? Well the agent most likely called in a plan that included EVERYONE. When they find the wrecked plane they'll only find, the pilots, the CIA agent, his men, the follower, and a body that contains Dr. Pavel's blood. What about the other two prisoners (Bane and merc) that left and were most likely called in? Unless this is covered later in the film, chalk it up as a plot hole within only minutes into the film.
They could have remedied this problem by just having the agent throw one of Bane's prisoners off the plane, to their death. Problem solved.
