because you know

what you did is wrong.

No. F*** you.

Don't you see?

Your rape was God's blessing.

You rejected his gift.

Let me leave.

You don't need

anyone's permission.

You have the key.

Get the f*** out of my way.

Inside you know

because you named her.

-Get out of my way!

-Say her name.

-Say it! Say it!

-No! No!

-Say her name!

-[sobs] Grace.

There is no atonement!

Flirt? Flirt?

Have you seen a cat?

I can't find my cat.

Come with me.

Flirt! [sighs] Flirt!

[grunting angrily]

One, two, three, four,

five, six, seven!

[telephone rings]

[man] Is Grace available?

I'm gonna f***ing kill you!

No, we are not going dark.

That's not my department.

She isn't getting away.

She's probably in a ball

in some corner.

-[board clatters]

-Sh*t.

[door buzzer buzzes]

Hello? Hello,

I'm looking for Kate Connor.

Katie? Katie? Katie!

-God damn it.

-Hello? Hi?

[man] You gonna do it,

you gonna do it,

-you gotta do it!

-[laughter]

[man on PA] Female officer,

you have a five-minute warning.

Please come to holding.

[man] You ready?

We gotta make this work.

Make it work.

Give me that, give me that.

All right,

all right, all right.

-[man laughs]

-One, two!

B*tch got company!

[laughs]

[indistinct conversation

and laughter

[woman] Now,

you remember your next line?

-[girl] Yeah.

-[woman] Go ahead.

Why didn't you love me,

mommy?

-[both laugh]

-Perfect. Let me fix your mic.

There.

-[echoing] It sounds all...

[laughs] funny!

I talked to her,

and something was wrong.

Something is wrong.

I can feel it.

Well,

I don't know about that.

They took off a few days ago.

He hasn't paid rent in months.

No way,

she would've told me.

I'm the manager,

and I'm sorry,

but they're not here,

they're not here.

Maybe I should just

call the police.

Why don't I just show you

his apartment

so you can see

for yourself?

Come with me.

It's right here.

Just gotta...

get the right key here.

There we go.

He hasn't paid rent in months,

you see.

Feel free to look around.

Maybe she left

some of her stuff.

For a clue or something.

Go ahead, go check it out.

Yep, right in there.

Can you turn the lights on?

[chuckles] No electricity.

He didn't pay his bills.

I seem to remember

they'd left some stuff

in a closet, I think.

Go ahead,

I don't have all night.

There's--

Hello?

Hello?

[knob rattles]

Jesus.

F***ing Christ.

F***ing scared me.

Sorry.

You gotta be strong.

[sighs]

Cop my ass. [grunts]

[woman groans]

Oh, God, no, Debbie.

Debbie! No.

-Debbie, run!

-[woman groans]

Run!

-Debbie, run!

-Katie?

-Debbie, run!

-What the f***?

-No!!

-[gasps]

No!! [sobs]

No!

That was your choice.

Her blood is on your hands!

[muffled scream]

[telephone rings]

[Bill] My dear girl,

don't make us come and get you.

It will get very,

very messy.

[laughs]

Katie?

Just give them what they want.

I'll help you.

F***. She's on the move.

Staging three.

Wrong.

Whoa. Okay...

You're gonna take me

out of here, okay?

Katie... just...

just put the--

just put the blade down, please.

They won't let us leave.

It's not me.

I swear to God,

I'm not part of this.

You take one more step,

and I'm gonna cut him open.

Where do you think

you're gonna go?!

Press the down.

Press the door!

[Jay]

They're gonna kill us both.

Shut the f*** up!

I didn't have a choice!

You have to believe me!

I didn't think you would

go through with it.

You were stronger

than the others.

Go through with what?

They always bet that

the girls kill themselves,

and they always do.

It's just how and when.

That's the gamble.

I won't do this.

I won't let you make me

a part of this.

I won't. You hear me?

I won't let you make me

a part of this!

You're already

part of this, child.

There's only one way

out of here.

Don't fight it, Katie.

Torture can be

a spiritual experience.

Only when you're lost

can you find yourself.

[Jay] Katie, do you really think

they're gonna let you go?

Tell her it doesn't matter

if she kills me.

-He's right. It won't.

-I'll kill him.

There's too much money to be

made from someone like you.

-I'll do it.

-Go ahead.

-What?

-I'll do it.

No, Katie, listen to me.

You don't want to do this!

I'll do it.

I swear to Christ I'll do it.

I'll break the f***ing mold.

So will I.

Just another actor.

A bad one at that.

Think we can't replace him?

Katie, listen to me.

There's a way out.

Shut up, Jay.

Or I'll kill you myself.

-F*** you!

-You untalented,

-washed-up piece of sh*t.

-I set her up perfectly

and you couldn't

f***ing deliver!

You have the easy part.

Said she was a lock.

Your words.

Well, you couldn't finish

the f***ing job!

The job is getting done.

I'm finishing the job.

You people

are f***ing psychopaths.

Katie, listen,

there's a way out.

-Shut up!

-All you gotta do--

I just want to go home.

You aren't going anywhere.

You're not going anywhere.

Jump.

Jump.

If you don't jump,

I'm gonna have to start

at your feet.

I'll cut them off first

with a hacksaw.

Then I'll go for the drill,

enter your spine.

You have no idea

what it feels like.

Just end it now.

Go to the ledge, Katie.

Go on top of the ledge.

That's it, good girl.

Good girl.

Now... jump.

Just do it.

That's it.

Good girl.

Now jump.

Put an end to your silly life.

Now jump!

-[clang]

-Is it a kill?!

Ah...

Who's the big winner?

She's moving.

Stop the transmission.

-F***.

-Help me.

Call 911!

-They're trying to kill me!

-Someone get down there now!

Help. Help!!

Shut it down!

Shut it down!

Send the personnel

to the loading dock!

[sirens approaching]

-[screams]

-Ah!

Sh*t. F***.

Wipe the servers!

[gasps]

[sobbing]

Ma'am, stay down!

I need you to stay down.

Help is on the way.

I need backup

and medical to 670 Vine.

670 South Vine.

I looked, she didn't have

any ID on her.

[woman]

Can't find her ID.

Ma'am,

we need to know your name.

I won't go through that again.

Maybe Bulgaria.

Anything goes in Bulgaria.

Don't f***ing fade me.

Play it straight.

I wanna change the mark.

I understand.

We'll look in Bulgaria.

I want the mark to be a guy.

A broken, weak,

sad little man.

So....

how do we book one of them?

-Send her in!

-[door opens]

Have a seat.

-Diana, right?

-Yeah.

So, Diana, do you understand

what we're asking of you?

I think so.

I'm playing an actress?

You guys just want me

to flirt with some guy

and get him to move in

with me for a week.

Yeah.

It's for a show, right?

Yeah. A show.

You off-book?
