But he knows.

Awesome.

Hey, there it is.

Round one.

What the f*** is that?

So good to see

you both again.

Welcome to round one.

The rules are quite...

You got it. Simple.

If you look to your left, you'll notice

that there ae five innocent civilians.

Innocent civilians.

And now, if you'll move

your attention to the fu,

which has already been l.

The fuse will burn out

in 95 seconds.

Enter the cage, defeat

Sledgesaw in under 90 seconds,

deactivate the bomb,

free the civilians.

Or option two, do nothing

and Sledgesaw will kill the civilians and you

Also, any attempt to unte

the innocent civilians

will be considered cheating, and

we know heroes don't cheat.

Okay?

F***, you have 80 seconds.

Good luck.

Son of a b*tch.

Stop the fuse.

Where you going?

You kill Manpower, or the five

innocents in the truck will ignite.

And you know what?

I've got the only fire extinguisher

You know, I'm starting to feel

what it feels like to win.

Sh*t.

Good luck.

What the hell is a Manpower?

Where is it?

I want you.

Let us see you fly again, little birdie.

All right. Let's do it.

F***.

You are nothing.

Now it's my turn.

God damn it.

Come on.

Have you guys got any bright ideas?

It won't stop.

Fine, I'll be right there.

All right, big guy.

Put one right here.

Yep.

Oh, sh*t. Okay,

we probably got

about 20 seconds till this thing blows, right?

Find anything you can that's

sharp and cut it now.

Jesus Christ.

Right. Let's get you

guys out of there, huh?

No.

I'm sorry.

No.

We still save them.

No, we run!

We could've saved them.

If we'd stayed any longer, that'd

be us burning over there too.

John! John!

John, we need your help!

Jill, where are you?

The junkyard,

we need you now!

Okay, don't worry, we're on our way.

Come on, let's move.

What's wrong?

I couldn't save them.

It's not your fault, neither could I.

I could have if I was still fast.

Our friends need our help.

Yeah.

I'm gonna charge in there, I'm gonna grab him.

Should I sneak up behind him?

Damn motherfucking flamethrower!

No, no, just clean up the mess.

Dinner time.

I'm gonna want to cut your heart out, boy.

I'm going to want to eat it.

I want to get big and strong again.

Two for the price of one.

You both look so tasty.

You first!

Charlie!

Yummy, yummy, yum, yum.

Quiet, quiet.

Okay. Let's party.

Hey!

What the hell?

What the hell is this?

It's blood, man.

No, no. This...

This thing in my stomach.

This... This tight thing.

It's pain.

You're hurt.

Is this what happens when you die?

Yeah, I mean, you feel pain.

You're not going to die.

You... You sure?

Yeah. Let me...

Let me look.

Okay.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You'll be fine.

Just... Just hold

that there, okay?

Just go in the garage and get me a

T-shirt or bandage or something.

Yeah, yeah.

It's all right.

Just keep pressure on it, all right?

Just right there, hold it.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

You okay?

Yeah, I just got the wind knocked out of me.

Well, you're lucky.

Just forgot he could see me.

Yeah, I know.

Hold on, hold on, hold on!

Thanks.

Yeah.

Okay, here. Easy.

Easy, I'm going to put this on.

Easy, easy.

That feels funny.

Yeah, I know, but it's good. It'll...

It'll stop the bleeding.

Just hold it there, okay?

Yeah, okay.

Okay, you're going to

be okay, all right? Just...

I'm going to go over here for a second.

Just... Just stay

right here, all right?

Okay, cool.

All right, cool.

What's going on?

Charlie's screwed, all right?

He's gonna die soon.

What?

How long does he have?

Hours or...

Minutes, maybe.

He got stabbed right in the

stomach, and pretty deep.

At least he doesn't understand

what pain is, so he'll go easy.

There's nothing we can do.

What about the garage?

Isn't there something inside there, medicine or something?

a 12-inch stab wound

from his lower intestines, Jill.

I'm sorry.

I know you and him are close.

Just go. Stay with him until

it happens, all right?

It'll be pretty soon.

Just go sit with him, all right?

Charlie.

Hey.

How are you doing?

Good. Fine, I think.

We're just gonna wait here a

minute and see what we're doing.

Okay.

You're gonna be okay, Charlie.

It's going to be fine.

Let's go check the innocents.

Did we win this time?

I don't know.

Jesus.

At least we're not detonating them.

What are you talking about?

When they blow up, it isn't coinciding

with the times he's been giving us.

He's watching us. When we get close

to them, he just blows them up.

Just to f*** with us.

He wants to make us think we can win

so he can just pull the rug out from under us.

So what the hell do we do?

You see any transmitters on the innocents?

What?

No.

That's because they're tiny.

And if they're that small,

in order to remote detonate,

he has to be somewhere in this town.

You sure?

Yeah, I think so.

You got a plan?

Just keep playing along.

Charlie, Charlie!

Charlie!

Jill, I'm sorry.

He just said he was feeling better.

And then he just died.

I couldn't do anything.

It's okay. I'm sorry.

What are we gonna do with him?

We could just...

We could just leave him here,

until we figure all this out and

we could just come back for him.

Jesus, John!

I don't know what else to do.

What are you doing?

Wow!

Round one sure was exciting, wasn't it?

I mean, I do feel bad for

The Wall, though, you kn.

He was kind of stupid,

though, wasn't he?

I thought for sure he was going to

make it at least to round two.

Oh, well. Forever young and

all that, beautiful corpse.

Anyway, I'd like to take a moment

to applaud all of you, for

your hard work in round one.

You saved zero civilians,

and barely saved yourselve.

All right, all right, I won't

fault you for the warm-up round.

But now we're

on to round two.

And I'd like to call this

the bonus round.

Charge, since you seem to like maps, I'll

let you fid the way for the others.

You have five minutes. Five minutes

to make your way to the old shack.

It's down off the dirt road,

on Parker Ave.

Once there, I'll give you the final rules

for everyone's favorite bonus round.

Bonne chance!

I'm glad you came.

I'm kind of drunk right now.

Are you sure

you want to do this?

Of course. I mean,

just means I'm doing what I want, right?

Yeah, I don't want it

to be a mistake though.

- That's impossible.

- Guess what.

What?

I like you.

Sh*t. I'm so...

It's our night off.

Yeah, I know.

Okay, so I guess I'll see you tomorrow.

Yeah.

Okay.

Jill.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Here we go.

Guys.

These coffins have our name written on them.

What?

Bonus round, huh?

Don't look at them, he's

just trying to scare us.

Well, it's f***ing working, John!

Why isn't Charlie's name here?

Because this is all part of Rickshaw's game.

He was always planning on

Charlie dying at the junkyard.

So what then?

We keep playing by his rules, we

keep listening to what he says,

expecting him to play fair.

I'm done playing fair!

Yeah, that's just what he wants.
