but you're telling me that

doesn't look like it's connected?

Oh, it's definitely connected.

What're you doing?

Oh! / Whoa!

Wow. F***.

Ah.

Oh, so there was a door.

Here.

Thank you. / You're welcome.

All right, let's

get rid of these clocks.

Okay, so where's the key?

How about the ones

that unlocked the ropes?

Ah. Yeah.

Stop it.

What? Come on.

There's no way this is gonna fit.

Nice.

It was your f***ing idea.

Look, there's gotta be

a key here somewhere,

let's just find it.

Oh, my God.

Would you just... / God.

Hey, hey, look for a clock

that only has a minute hand.

Why? / Just f***ing do it, Anderson.

Okay.

Here, got it.

This clock only has a minute hand.

Okay. / What the hell

is up with these clocks?

Here, here, here.

All right, what the f***?

If I...

Hm.

That's impressive. / Very impressive.

Here, help me.

Ah? / Yes!

Yeah! Hey, guys.

You're my hero. Thank you. / Hey.

You guys rescued us.

Yeah, any longer and someone's

pants'd be on the floor.

She's wearing a skirt.

/ That is correct.

Oh, gross.

What the f***?

Uh...

Is that Christen?

Oh, my God!

Where is she?

Yeah, things just got weird.

Wow.

What?

It's all part of the game.

This is f***ing cool.

Look, look. We have

41 minutes to rescue Christen.

That's the game.

Christen said we had an hour.

Well, the timer must have started

when we got here.

It was probably me.

I flipped the switch over there.

Oh.

Why isn't she in here with us?

Why would she lock herself

in a cage somewhere?

I don't know, Anderson.

That's what we have to figure out.

Fine.

Whatever.

At least we know what we're

playing for now, right?

Bingo. That's the can-do attitude

we like to hear from you, Anderson.

Now, time is of the essence.

So, it's a good thing I know

exactly what we have to do next.

Check it out.

What happened?

What do you mean?

Weren't there squares with

letters on them right here?

Oh, yeah, there were.

Yeah, but they were

there the whole time.

Are you sure about that?

'Cause you guys were just

sucking a whole bunch of face.

Yeah, well, when was the last

time you two sucked face? Huh?

Look, as soon as we got out of the room,

it must have disappeared.

It's probably the door. Huh?

Hey.

Wait!

Shut it again.

Oh, wow, I bet you

have to spell something.

Yeah, but what?

There's got to be something.

Oh, that...

What the f*** is that?

Nice.

Was that thing strapped to your junk?

It sure was.

She released the Kraken. / Oh!

Well, I'm not getting it.

Getting what? / It's another card.

Oh. / Mm-hmm.

F*** it.

Ugh.

Guys, come on.

It was on the outside of my pants.

He's clean.

I would know.

Excellent.

Well, I don't see any other clues here,

so let's keep focused.

Go. Go, go, go. / Yeah.

Well, it obviously wants

us to spell something,

so... / How big a word?

Nine letters? / Nine letters?

F***, big word.

It's like an answer

to a crossword puzzle.

Oh, you love crossword puzzles.

He does.

And the answer is

in one of these newspapers.

Yes.

We don't have time

to go through all of these.

All right, some of us

look for crosswords

while the others look for clues.

You know, get a system going.

That's gonna take forever.

There has to be some kind of order.

Oh, what if there's

a clue in a headline?

Well, theme in this one is dead

celebrities, if that helps.

Well, did any of them

die on today's date?

Maybe that's a f***ing clue.

The dates.

That's actually not a bad idea.

Nice, Christen.

My birthday.

Look for today's date

30 years ago. / Yes.

This stack is all 1990s.

'70s.

Oh! I got the '80s.

Perfect. / Yes!

Okay...

All right, who's got October 13th?

Ah, got it.

Yes, right here.

That's it.

All right, it wants one word.

All right, how many letters? / Nine.

Nice. / All right, the clue is...

"narcissistic notes."

Interesting.

I'm glad we got an easy one.

All right, well, uh, shut me in the room

and I'll put in words

until I figure it out.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

We started in there.

Let us take this one.

Tyler.

Conrad, this is gonna involve

some quick problem-solving on the fly

and I'm not really sure

that's your forte.

Whoa, whoa.

What?

You can let someone else

do something, Tyler.

All right.

All right.

Oh! I got it.

"Egomaniac."

Actually, that could work.

Yes.

Well...

Damn it.

Narcissistic notes.

Something about letters... memos.

Ego's memos.

That has an apostrophe.

So? / So it's definitely not the answer.

Oh. What if note isn't to do

with something written?

What'd you mean?

Like a musical note?

Like what is a narcissistic's song?

Oh, looks like Anderson needs a hug.

Oh, what about egotistic?

Yeah, I'll try it.

Oh!

What is Carly Simon's "You're So Vain"?

That definitely won't fit.

Also, this isn't Jeopardy, so...

Well, you come up with

something, smart guy.

Whatever it is, it's your theme song.

What did you say? / Huh?

Nothing, just that my wife is

stuck up and she doesn't know...

No, not that. / I love you.

Try this.

T.

T? Okay, T. / Yes.

H. / H.

E. / E.

M. E.

Theme song.

Theme song. / A-B-C-D-E-F...

Yes!

Yes!

Yes!

Ha!

Nice. I'll go let 'em out.

If they want to get out. /

I'll never get used to that.

Oh, who's the protective big brother?

Stop.

I love how when you pretend

to have a conscience...

I said f***ing stop!

What the f*** is wrong with you?

Hey! F***!

What's wrong?

The key broke off in the f***ing door.

What do you mean it broke?

I tried to open it and it wouldn't open.

Damn it. / You disappoint me.

Really, Anderson? / Jesus.

I don't see...

That's a little much.

Whoa! So fancy.

You're gonna have to sit tight

'til we can figure how to get you out.

Wait.

What's that?

It's all part of the game, right?

Yeah. That's weird.

What?

We solved the puzzle.

Why would the door close again?

Well, maybe...

maybe there's something else

that we have to do?

That doesn't make sense.

Wait.

Something's wrong.

What is that?

It looks like it's burning them.

Like... acid.

Oh, my God!

Oh!

Tabby! Tabby!

Holy sh*t! / What the f***

is happening to them?

Tabby! No! / Oh, sh*t...

Tabby!

Ah! / F***!

Damn it!

What is happening? / Tabby!

Something's happening to them!

No! / Oh, my God!

Tabby! / Oh, my God!

Tabby!

Get down!

Get on the floor!

Oh, my God!

Tabby! / Oh, sh*t!

Oh, my God! Oh, my God! / F***! F***!

Oh, my God...

Holy sh*t. / Tabby!

Conrad! / What the f*** is going on?

Oh, my God! / Tabby!

What is this?

What is this?

Tabby? Tabby!

Oh, my...

Oh, my God!

F***! / F***!

F***.

What the f*** is this place?

No.

What did you do?

I didn't...

I didn't do anything.

It locked on its own!

I-I-I tried to open it.

No, you f***ed it up

and look what happened.

You couldn't do anything!

/ I tried to help them!

Look at you!

I tried to help them.

No.

Don't hurt her.

No.

It's real.

It's all real. / Real?

What are you talking about?

Of c... of course...

Why would Christen bring us here?

Christen's in trouble, too.
