That doesn't matter.

What does your husband do?

- What?

- The daddy... the baby daddy.

What does he do?

Do you even know

who the father is?

Yes, I know who the father is.

Yeah, yeah,

but you aren't married, huh?

Look, he's... We're waiting.

You're waiting for what?

For him to get out of prison?

- Oh, come on!

- He's not in jail.

Okay, so, what does he do

for a living then?

Enough with the inquisition.

Well, what do you do?

- I work for a bank.

- Of course you do.

We lend people money

to start their own businesses.

Does anybody here have

their own business?

How much did you make

last year?

I'm not talking about salaries.

Well, You're the one that

started talking about the jobs.

No, I'm talking about being a

contributing member of society.

Now, I work my ass off

every single day,

and I never, never take handouts

from anyone.

I lend people money

to live their dreams.

And... and outside of work,

I contribute

a significant amount of money

to charity.

Well, that's easy when You're

pulling down six figures.

- Hm.

- Oh, uh-huh?

A-and what do you do?

Uh, I'm a graduate student.

Uhhuh, in?

- Psychology.

- -Well, that's useful.

How about you? What do you do?

- F*** off, d*ckhead.

- What do you do, huh?

You collect

your disability checks?

Listen, guy.

If You're trying to get us

to not vote for you,

You're going about it

the wrong way.

Seriously. Look, look, look -

we need to come up

with some sort of metric here,

some way to decide

who deserves to live

to the next round.

All I know is is

if one of us gets to live,

it's gonna be one of those two.

At least, if I have

anything to say about it.

Well, I think we all know

what that means.

Yeah, yeah, he's right.

She's gone. He should be next.

- Oh, nice, two-for-one.

- Seriously.

Well, I mean,

somebody has to go, right?

Don't you see

what they're doing here?

They just killed her to get the

majority back in their favor.

They knew

that she was on our side.

- What side?

- Yeah, yeah,

there aren't any sides here.

Oh, really?

So you never voted

for the two of them?

- No, of course not.

- Bullshit.

You don't know

who's voting for who in here.

None of us do. I think we have

a pretty good idea.

People, please, if they get

the majority back on their side,

they will kill both of them.

That's what they want...

to get them out of the way.

Only the rest of us

can stop that from happening.

You're paranoid, man.

Okay, who's with me?

The two girls plus me...

that's three.

There's 16 of us left in here.

We just need six more

to get to nine.

That's enough. Wait, nine what?

- Nine votes for a majority.

- Exactly.

I'm in.

Good, good. Five more.

Everybody understand?

This is crazy.

It's not gonna work, man.

All right, I'm in.

- So am I.

- That's six.

That's six. We need three more.

What about you guys?

What exactly

are you asking us to do?

We're asking you to help us.

- Yeah, but how?

- Look.

They are gonna vote

for one of those two girls

each and every time.

Eventually, they are gonna get

what they want,

unless we stop them.

- Stop them how?

- By block voting.

Hey, man, it's

just playing defense.

He's right.

There's no other way.

- It's just a numbers game now.

- This is ridiculous!

Are you with me?

- What do we do?

- No one's voting for them

this round, okay?

Yeah, yeah, yeah,

we said the guy

who doesn't speak any English.

He Can't help us now,

so, once he's gone,

we can all discuss

what to do next.

You all know

what needs to be done!

Yeah, vote for the kid!

It's the only chance

that we have!

Aah!

God... Damn it!!

You're f***ing pathetic man.

You'd kill a kid

to save your own life.

Yeah, that's right.

I want to live... just like you.

No, not just like me.

I wouldn't do that.

Oh, yeah, well,

we'll see what you do

when it's your ass on the line.

No, I don't think you will.

What's that supposed to mean?

Huh?

What, y-y-You're gonna

kill me now?

Why?

Because I want to live, huh?

I'm... I'm a f***ing bad person

because I don't want

to f***ing die in here?

You know what? Fine.

You want to play games?

I'll play your game.

I say we get rid

of both of them right now,

starting with the kid!

That gives us all a chance

to walk out of here alive.

Now, I know I'm not the only one

in here that wants to do that.

He's right.

There's 15 of us left.

All we need is six

to even the playing field.

- This isn't a game.

- No, it's not.

But you decided to make it

a game when you chose sides.

Well, we chose.

We just chose the side

that said everyone

in here is equal.

No one's special.

You of all people

should understand that.

Hey, you.

Don't you love your wife?

Of course, I do.

Well, well, don't you want

to give her a chance

to get out of here? Huh?

How's that gonna happen

if You're on their side?

Listen to him.

If you choose their side,

You're just sentencing your wife

to death.

Our way will give her

a chance to live.

Right.

Yeah, yeah, b-but...

but nothing!!

Do you want to save her or not?!

Okay, okay, fine! We're in!

- Me, too.

- What?

Well, he... he's right.

What?!

Okay, that's, uh, that's five.

We just need three more.

Everybody vote for the kid.

We're voting for you.

Come on, people!

Don't you want to live?

All right, make them tie again.

They'll both die.

- That's fair.

- What?!

He's right.

We'll take that trade.

What?! W-what are you doing?!

Don't do it! She's just a kid!

Aah!

F***. What just happened?

You lost, a**holes.

F*** you.

Why didn't they tie?

Yeah, it doesn't make sense.

Why did they tie the first time

and not the second?

'Cause somebody

changed their vote.

Who?

Why don't you ask your wife?

It was you?

No.

I mean, yes, but...

why'd you switch?

I didn't.

All right, I just didn't vote

the second time.

I couldn't. I'm sorry.

Right, because You're

a good person.

Hey, stay out of this, okay?

Look, listen, lady, nobody said

this was going to be easy,

but it needs to be done.

Yeah, listen,

they both Can't live anyway.

He's right... one of them is

going to have to die eventually.

We need to band together.

Otherwise, they're going to win.

There's no winning here, man.

We all lose, okay?

And that's fine.

We've had plenty of time

to accept that.

There's only one thing left

that we can do,

and that's go out of here

with some dignity.

And maybe we can save

two people instead of one.

But he's not talking about her.

He's talking about getting r-I-d

of the k-I-d

sooner rather than later.

I think she can spell.

We just need

to get this over with.

Rip the band-aid off.

Why drag it out?

- You're outnumbered, man.

- He's right.

It's over.

Hey.

You want to live, right?

Yeah.

But I don't...

Want to kill a little kid.

It's okay.

Fine, everybody vote

for the guy with one arm.

Oh, please, man.

No, no, no, listen, listen,

if we get rid of him,

it'll even things out,

and we'll actually have
