KAZAN:

Two...

LEAVEN:

Clear.

KAZAN:

Four...

LEAVEN:

Clear.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The next door they open lead them to the edge again. This time there's much more light out there.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

WORTH:

Oh.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Leaven puts her head outside the room, and quickly takes it back. A room is passing by. When they open the door again, there's a room there.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

WORTH:

I guess that proves out theory. The numbers.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

We see two numbers: 206 911 xxx

--------------------------------------------------------------------

KAZAN:

Four, two, three.

LEAVEN:

Clear.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

They enter the new room, except Kazan, the room they just came from moves away.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

LEAVEN/WORTH

KAZAN!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------

In the background we hear Kazan screaming.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

LEAVEN:

Listen. He hasn't moved far.

WORTH:

I'm gonna find him. What do you think?

LEAVEN:

You don't have a lot of lives left.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

We see Kazan in a red room. He's terrified. Then we see Worth entering a blue room, then we see Leaven step on a piece of glass, the one from her glasses. Then we see Worth in the ceiling of the red room with Kazan.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

WORTH:

Kazan?

KAZAN:

I didn't move.

WORTH:

Yeah, good. Erm, you have to climb up here, ok?

KAZAN:

I don't like that.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Leaven opens a door and studies the numbers.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

LEAVEN:

14... 26... 14... WORTH GET BACK HERE RIGHT NOW!!!

WORTH:

Five bags of gumdrops?

KAZAN:

27 bags total.

WORTH:

27 bags, deal.

LEAVEN:

Come here Worth, this room's next move takes it to the bridge.

WORTH:

We're coming.

LEAVEN:

Over here. Move it. We don't have much time come on.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Worth and Kazan crawls in to Leaven's room. Leaven closes the door. They just make it, before the room moves. As we see the group again, they lie down.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

LEAVEN:

Worth...

WORTH:

Eaoh, it' better be it.

LEAVEN:

It should be.

WORTH:

Where?

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Leaven opens a door, there's nothing behind it. She closes it again.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

WORTH:

Ooh, arh.

LEAVEN:

Give me a minute. Be patient. So guess what, this was the room we started in. I was right, we should never have moved in the first place.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The room starts to shake, it's moving. As it stops, Leaven opens the door. We see a red room.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

WORTH:

The bridge.

KAZAN:

Red...

LEAVEN:

Kazan.

KAZAN:

38079

LEAVEN:

Clear!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------

They enter the red room. Leaven closes the door. Kazan opens a new door. We see daylight. Worth sits down.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

LEAVEN:

Worth???

WORTH:

Go ahead.

LEAVEN:

What are you doing. You can't quit now. It's not your fault!!!

WORTH:

I have nothing to live for out there.

LEAVEN:

Was is out there.

WORTH:

Boundless human stupidity.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

In the background we hear a door opening.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

LEAVEN:

I can live with that.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Leaven says some strange sounds, she rises. Behind her we see Quentin with a door handle. Quentin has stabbed Leaven in the back. He drops her to the floor. He's covered with blood. Kazan closes the door to the daily life.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

WORTH:

Nooo!

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Worth hits Quentin quite hard. But just after Quentin does the same to Worth.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

WORTH:

Kazan get out to the door!

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Quentin stabs Worth with the handle. Worth falls to the ground. Quentin tries to reach Kazan.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

QUENTIN:

Red, Kazan.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Kazan opens the door. Meanwhile the room starts to move. As Kazan is outside the room, Quentin grabs his t-shirt. As he is just halfway out he can't move anymore. Worth holds Quentins leg. Quentin gets split up in two parts. Afterwards we see the room move. There's blood on the inner cube. In the room again we see Worth crawl towards Leaven. Halfway he stops moving he dies. The last we see of the movie is Kazan looking at the inner cube, before he turns around and disappears into the bright, white light.
