13 Sins Page #6

Synopsis: Elliot Brindle is a bright, meek salesman, drowning in debt - and desperate as he's about to marry the love of his life. Upon receiving a phone call informing him that he's on a hidden camera game show where he must execute 13 tasks to receive a sum total cash prize of $6.2M, Elliot dismissively follows through with his first two instructions: swat the fly that is currently bothering him, then eat the fly. With thousands of dollars suddenly appearing in his bank account, Elliot remains skeptical, though comforted by the knowledge that he can stop playing at anytime if only to lose every penny that he's won. Trapped into the horrors manipulated by unseen spectators, Elliot's need to complete the game escalates as the tasks grow more extreme, to a devastating point of no return.

It poisoned me.

Every cell from that day to this.

But the thing is,

I know that even if I'd had somebody

telling me all these things then,

it wouldn't have mattered because

I wouldn't have listened

any more than you're listening now.

But there is one thing

I can do for you.

Yeah?

- I can keep you from winning.

- How are you gonna do that?

Oh... oh... oh...

OK...

Well... what do we do now?

I... I did some things.

Yeah, me, too.

How do I know that you

won't do something to me?

Why would I do something to you?

You're my family member,

I'm yours. So...

One of us could still

win, if we wanted to.

Do you want to?

No.

Let's go.

- What are you doing?

- Just getting my bag.

- Mikey, just leave it.

- I have to get my pills.

- Why are you doing that?

- Just have to get them.

Just zip it up. Just...

Mike! Jesus Christ!

You're gonna be OK.

Press really hard right there.

Press right here.

They said I could buy you a wedding

present if I had the money.

If I had the money I could...

I just want to win.

One time I want to win.

- I understand.

- I'm sorry.

- It's OK.

- I'm so sorry!

- Come here.

- Ah!

Stop!

- I want to win.

- Ah!

Stop!

I'm sorry.

Yeah, the evidence trail

is taken care of.

My colleagues have nothing.

Nah, it's pretty much

Hamlet in here.

This is a violation of the

terms of the agreement.

You are forbidden to interfere with

or seek out the origins of the game.

That was explained to you.

Everything's been fixed.

No one is after you.

Now, if you'll just back away,

you can still go home a winner.

They'll take the money away.

I'm just an employee. I'm nothing.

You're here.

Elliot! My God! Where are you?

Did they release you?

Daddy said they were still

waiting to hear about bail,

but when I went to the station, they

didn't have any record of your arrest.

What's going on?

I'm on my way home right now.

Everything's been

straightened out. I just...

I wanted to hear your voice.

My God. That's all I

can think to say.

Yeah.

As if things weren't insane

enough, somebody called

and offered me $6,000 to eat a fly.

What did you say?

What did I say?

Are you kidding?

I said f*** off! That's vile.

I mean, could you imagine?

Anyway, I better get a move on.

Oh, and of course there's already another

detour we're gonna have to make.

We have to stop at my Uncle

Louie's and pick up his camera

because my father, who's so proud of

his photography, dropped his camera.

Don't make fun. You

know how he gets...
