- There he is. See?
These a**holes...
man, these a**holes never learn.
She shouldn't have
f***ed around on me, man!
Like that makes it okay
to beat the sh*t out of her.
Oh, yeah?
What are you gonna do, man?
You gonna shoot me? Huh, pig?!
I don't think I need to.
Recognize anyone else?
No, I don't think so.
Yeah, anybody else?
Unpaid parking tickets?
- What if that's important?
- Huh?
Like, maybe
We're supposed to figure out
who's good and who's bad.
The world doesn't work
that way, sweetheart.
That's right.
Too much gray area.
But maybe that's
what they want us to do...
kill off certain people.
And, like,
oh, my God, who's gonna decide?
You?
No, not me.
All of us... as a group.
Kind of
what We're doing already?
Kind of not stopping
this whole thing at all?
We don't know that. It might.
There has to be a reason
behind all of this, right?
God, sweetheart.
Not every shitty thing
that happens in this world
has to have a reason behind it.
Maybe they just want to f***ing
watch us kill each other.
Well, we should
at least consider it.
Consider what?
What she means is...
who deserves to live?
Okay.
Based on what?
Based on everything.
Morals and values,
what you have
or haven't done in life.
I think we need
to put it all out there.
Yeah, and we've got
plenty of time standing around
debating everybody's character.
Well, We're here
to do something.
It's to die.
H-hey, um...
I got an idea.
How about we, uh...
How about we kill
all the black people next, yeah?
What are you talking about?
Don't play the race card, man.
This is all just f***ing chance.
Yeah? Right.
That's why most of us are dead,
right?
It's every man
for himself in here.
Yeah, you need to shut up
with this racism stuff, okay?
Nobody gives a sh*t around here.
I give a sh*t around here.
Look, I'm just saying.
I'm not f***ing next, all right?
Y'all done reached
your minority quota.
That's fair.
This guy... man, do you see
anything fair going on in here?!
This is the exact
f***ing opposite of fair!
Okay.
We'll see.
Don't look at me, man.
You started this sh*t.
Come on, man.
You know I'm right, brah.
Think about it.
They'll kill
each and every one of us off
until There's none of us left.
Come on, man.
There's plenty of white people
that are dead, too.
Come on, man, There's
plenty more still alive, too.
What exactly are you trying
to do with this?
Make yourself a target?
Because that's
exactly what You're doing.
Yeah. Real smart.
You don't see me
counting asians.
Well, maybe you should try.
Don't fall
for this racism bullshit.
He's just trying
to save his own ass.
You damn right,
you uptight a**hole.
- So what?
- So what?
You feel like you
deserve a free pass
because You're f***ing black?
Nobody cares.
Exactly. Nobody gives a sh*t.
I ain't talking
to your stupid ass.
I'm trying to help you, bro!
You shut the f*** up,
talking to me, man.
It's not gonna
f***ing help you here.
Right.
'Cause it usually helps me
out there, right?
Oh, here we go.
Let's all feel bad
for the black guy.
'Cause he had to struggle
so much more than we did.
All right.
Just drop it.
Like you people don't get
enough help.
What the f*** you just say?
You guys are all the same.
You run around.
You just want people
to hand you things
like you f***ing earned it.
That's what wrong
with this country now...
socialist bullshit.
What?
You want some reparations, too?
I mean, Jesus Christ.
Give me a f***ing break
around he...
I think we need to keep
our personal prejudices
out of this.
It's not helping the situation.
Yeah, they don't matter
anymore.
No, no, hell no.
They absolutely matter!
What you mean?
I'm not gonna die
so some racist can live.
Everything...
every single thing needs
to be out there on the table.
Yeah, so if we could have
all the racists step forward,
that'd great.
Look... whatever
your race, ethnicity,
nationality is,
it's not important.
What's important is
that, collectively,
we figure out how to stop this.
We're on the same team here.
Oh, are we, though?
We all want to live, don't we?
Yeah.
So let's work together.
We Can't keep turning
against each other.
Yeah, that's
what they want us to do.
I think she's right.
That's what this is about.
They want us to play
their little game.
Maybe they're watching
us right now.
- Studying us.
- Let's not give them
- what they want.
- Exactly.
Any ideas?
What happens if we force a tie?
- We tried that.
- No.
There'd be more time
between rounds.
Hey, everybody.
Vote for yourself.
Hhow do we do that?
You Can't vote for yourself.
It doesn't let us.
All right, then, everybody vote
for the person
to your right, then.
The living person.
Right, don't vote
for the empty spaces.
If we do it right, we should
all get exactly one vote.
8, 7, 5, 4...
3, 2, 1.
No!
- The f***?
- Damn it!
- It didn't work.
- Ohh!
- What happened?
- We screwed up.
- All right, let's try it again.
- It won't work!
They thought of everything!
Did you vote for the person
to your right or your left?
I did right. This way.
Well, somebody messed it up.
Somebody just made a mistake.
Okay, look,
we have to try this again.
All right.
Very carefully this time,
everybody vote for the arrow
that points to the person
on your right.
Got it?
Sweetie, you see the arrow?
This arrow... You're gonna
pick that arrow, okay?
Okay.
No, We're all gonna be okay.
I promise, okay?
- Come on!
- No!
It's a tie.
Everyone vote again!
What the f*** just happened?
- They tied.
- How?
We all got the same number
of votes, right?
No, we didn't.
How do you know?
- 'Cause I voted for him.
- What? What are you...
why Would you do that?
Because he voted
for the pregnant girl.
I saw him.
If I didn't vote him,
she'd be dead.
- You sure?
- Yes.
Why Would he do that?
Look...
We all know that we Can't
vote for ourselves, right?
Well... What do you think happens
when we get down
to the last person left?
One of us gets to live.
It's a game.
It's a process of elimination.
The last man standing gets
to walk out of here alive.
Or woman.
Why Would they do that?
I don't know,
but between the kid
and the pregnant girl,
I'm sure that guy figured
it's most likely gonna
come down to one of them
in the end.
If we get rid of them,
we'll all have a better chance.
You know what? If he's right,
and one of us do get
to walk out of here,
it should be one of them.
Why's that?
'Cause it's common sense.
People, come on.
Things are different in here.
Women and children first...
I'm sorry.
But that sh*t
doesn't matter anymore.
Look at the pregnant woman.
She counts as two people.
One of them's gonna die
eventually, so...
Which one?
It's okay. It's okay.
It's gonna be okay.
No! No!
No!
Oh, come on, come on, come on!
Don't do anything!
They'll both die.
We have to know what happens.
