Circle Page #7

Synopsis: In a massive, mysterious chamber, fifty strangers awaken to find themselves trapped with no memory of how they got there. Every two minutes, one of them must die... Executed by an electrical pulse generated from a source within the chamber. At first the attacks seem random, but, soon the strangers realize that they, as a group, have the power to decide who will be the next to be killed: by the power of the vote. Mob mentality at its finest hour. A chance to control the machine. How will they choose who deserves to die? What happens when there's only one person left? "Circle" is a film about humanity. How we value one another and how people react when they are forced to make decisions under the worst possible circumstances. It's a film that speaks to the very core of what makes us human - Who we are, what we believe and ultimately, the lengths we will go to in which to save ourselves.

more time to talk about this.

There's nothing left

to talk about.

Man, listen, You're just trying

to buy yourself more time.

I'm trying to buy everybody

some time.

All right, what the hell

just happened?

What does that mean?

It means

the tables have turned, b*tch.

People are starting

to see things clearly.

Who did that?

G.I. Joe next...

he's the leader of the pack.

Kill him first,

the rest will cave.

Great idea.

There's only 13 of us left.

We only need seven.

What do we do?

There's nothing you can do.

We've got the majority now.

Let's vote for her.

What?

He wants to protect her?

Let's put him to the test.

Hey, hey, hey,

just wait a minute, okay?

Everybody do it. He'll switch.

No, wait! Give me a second.

Be reasonable, man.

I am being reasonable.

You want to give

- your wife a chance?

- Yeah!

Then, do the right thing!

Otherwise, she's got

30 seconds to live.

- No!

- There's no right thing in here!

Yes, there is! We all know it.

Listen, if you kill me,

you'll die, and she'll die next.

We all know that.

- Come on.

- Do you love your wife or not?

Come on, please.

Oh, f***! Okay!

Yes, I'll switch!

F***ing pick someone else!

Wait! Wait! Wait!

All right, everybody vote

for the black guy.

- Wait, what?!

- Okay.

F*** y'all, man!

Of course.

True love conquers all.

You're out of options,

my friend.

Yeah, well, you all

just killed yourselves.

Congratulations,

you, you, you, you all did this!

And you...

You just killed your wife.

I hope You're happy.

I did what I had to do.

Yeah, well, now she's gonna die

because of you.

At least my way gave her

a chance.

- Just shut the f*** up, man.

- Yeah, just drop it.

You're probably not

even married.

What?

I mean, think about it.

What are the odds of them being

the only married couple in here?

Those other two

knew each other.

- So they said.

- That's not gonna work, dude.

So You're saying

that they're married

and they just happened to be

placed right next to each other?

Unh-unh.

Think about it, people!

Isn't it possible that they just

made this whole thing up?

- No.

- Why Would they lie?

To survive... nobody wants to

kill someone's wife or husband,

especially right

in front of each other.

They just made this whole thing

up to get our sympathy.

You're crazy.

Am I?

How long you been married?

Five years.

What's his parents' names?

Um, mark and Lisa.

Where'd she go to college?

Ucla.

When's his birthday?

- Uh, April.

- April?

9th April 9th.

What's his name?

What?

What is your husband's name?

He already said his name.

That's right. He did.

When?

The first time he spoke,

he said his name.

Just drop it, man, okay?

What's... His name?

She doesn't know.

Of course she doesn't.

Yes, of course, she does.

She's just not gonna

play your f***ing games.

Let's put them in a tie

and see what happens?

- What?

- If they're married,

There's no way

they will vote for each other.

Okay... We made it up.

But it was her f***ing idea!

What?

Yeah, yeah.

I just went along with it.

No, he said it first.

I had nothing to do with it.

Oh, come on!

She's a liar! Look at her!

- Please don't kill me.

- No, kill this b*tch!

Why are you crying?

Just shut the f*** up,

all right?

- You shouldn't have lied to us.

- I didn't lie.

Yes, you did.

You said you were married.

Iam married.

Just not to him,

and I do have a daughter, Emily.

I didn't lie about that.

How many people in here

do you think were married?

Had husbands, wives, kids?

You had no problem

with killing any of them.

- I didn't kill them.

- Yes, you did.

We all did.

But listen, you still have

a chance to make it out of here.

There's 11 of us left.

We just need 6 votes.

If you join our side,

I promise I will keep you alive.

Don't listen to him.

He's just trying to use you.

Hey, you want

to get out of here?

You want to go back home and see

your real husband, see Emily?

Yeah.

Good.

How about you?

What side are you on?

What, you don't speak?

Okay, he doesn't want to tell us

who he's voting for.

And that's fine.

I understand that.

Nobody wants to make enemies

in here.

I'm gonna go ahead and say

that he's on our side.

You have a daughter, don't you?

- What's her name?

- Chloe.

That's a beautiful name...

Chloe.

You want to see her again?

Obviously.

- And your partner?

- Wife.

- Amelia.

- Chloe and Amelia.

Do you want

to see both of them again?

- I'm sorry.

- Hey, wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

Hey, that's five.

We just need one more.

Come on, people... one more.

- Who are we voting for?

- The army guy.

No! Pick somebody else.

- Uh, the cancer lady.

- What?

No, no, no, all right.

You all know who to vote for.

Sh*t!

F***.

F***.

Holy sh*t.

What do we do?

It's... it's okay.

It's okay.

Okay, There's,

uh, seven of us left.

All we need is four.

One, two, three...

Is it a boy or a girl?

I don't know.

Don't you want to find out?

Yes, of course, I do.

All it takes is one vote.

It's really that simple...

just once.

No.

No, no, please.

Please.

Please. No, no, I won't do it.

I will not do it.

Well, then You're killing

your own child.

How about you, man?

You want to live?

You know where I stand.

- What about you?

- Jesus Christ.

What do you think?

Forgive me.

No, don't!

Yes! Jesus Christ!

Thank you, Jesus! That...

okay, so it's, uh,

it's three to three.

There's no way

you can protect them now.

Yeah? Okay, well,

we'll see about that.

You realize

that it's you or them, right?

So be it.

Are you volunteering?

If I go, you go.

Okay, um, how about this?

I'll make you a deal.

You give me one of them,

and I'll give you her.

- W-what?

- A trade.

Which one do you want?

Either one...

doesn't matter to me.

What?! What are you doing?

Okay, deal. Deal.

You get the little girl,

I get the phony wife.

The three of us will vote

for her. The three of you

will vote for her.

How do I know I can trust you?

- No.

- We'll vote in order.

1, 2, 3.

- Okay, deal.

- W-w-wait a second.

It's okay.

Listen... trust me, just...

Okay. I'll go first.

- Let's do it.

Okay.

- What are you doing?

- Just do it!

No, no.

Vote for the kid!

Are you nuts? Vote for the kid!

What is he doing? Vote!

What are you doing?

Come on! Vote! Please vote!

Vote!

Jesus Christ.

Why didn't you vote?

Because he doesn't vote.

- Never has, not once.

- What?

He's never even said

a word, never voted,

and he's made it all this way.

Dumb f***ing luck.

Maybe.

Maybe not.

What?

- Maybe it was no accident.

- What are talking about?

I think that There's a reason

why he's still alive.

Yeah, because he's been hiding,

hoping we wouldn't notice him.
