Max Bailey, Libra and others in “Libra”

Where am I, lady?

The name's not "Lady". It's Libra.

Okay, nice to meet you, um... Libra. My name is Max–

Max Bailey. I know. I've had Olesky's place under surveillance for weeks.

Are you a cop?

You never know. But mostly just a concerned citizen. Same as you.

That's the first time anyone's ever called me that.

Your father worked for Olesky. They were partners until Olesky cut him out of the business. When your father started to talk, Olesky had him killed. [removes her mask] You want revenge... just like I do. But instead of wearing a mask, you're helping the police. You're looking for Olesky's mole in Special Investigations.

Yeah; Do you know who that is?

[removes her utility belt and drops it on the floor] Not yet.

Look, I need to report in. Tomorrow night Olesky's having a sit-down with the other bosses.

That's right. [removes her evening gloves] I plan on being there.

Who are you? I mean, nobody names their kid "Libra".

We're on the same team, Max. We just wear different uniforms. [stares Max in the face] Do I frighten you?

Isn't that the idea?

There's a reason you should be frightened of me. [removes her costume and reveals her body to Max] Before, I was just a woman. But gangsters aren't scared by women. They use them, exploit them, manipulate them. But Libra... she's a symbol. Someone that they can't bribe, scare or seduce. And the scales of justice always tip in Libra's favor. But right now, I'm not Libra. I'm just a woman.

You're beautiful.

Thank you, Max Bailey. [kisses Max on the lips] So what do you know about Libras? Hmm?

Ask me later.

Uh-huh.

I'm still learning.

Yeah? Well... for one, we loathe cruelty, viciousness and vulgarity. But we believe in compassion and compromise.

Doesn't sound like you.

You know what else? We like to be touched.

Oh.

That leg isn't gonna give you trouble now, is it?

No, I'll manage.

That's what I thought.
