to open the device.

It's in the stomach

of your dead cellmate.

Look around, Amanda.

Know that I'm not playing.

Live or die.

Make your choice.

Congratulations.

You are still alive.

Most people are so ungrateful

to be alive,

but not you, not anymore.

Amanda, do not be afraid.

Your life has just begun.

He made it through

the freezer room.

He tried to save her.

There are some things

I need you to do for me.

In my desk...

in the center drawer,

an envelope...

with your name on it.

She's gonna do a procedure on you.

Yeah.

To relieve the pressure

on your brain.

Yeah.

And help with the headaches.

I can't do this.

Amanda... you can.

You can.

You're stronger now.

And I believe in you.

You chose her 'cause

she's the best, right?

That's one reason I chose her.

Damn it!

Hello?

Help me, please!

Please, help me!

I'm in here!

Please get me out of here.

Help me. I--

Hello?

I know you're there.

Please!

Please help me!

I-- I can hear you.

Please, answer me!

Help me!

Please!

Help me.

Get me out of here, please.

Please help me.

Get me out of here!

Please!

Don't just stand there!

Help me!

Jeff, when the judge

presiding over your case

sentenced your boy's

murderer so lightly,

your soul never recovered.

Now you have the power to sentence

his soul straight to Hell.

Or you can forgive.

The key that will free him

is hidden inside your son's possessions--

Possessions you have clung to

for far too long.

Now, if you flip the switch

on the incinerator underneath you,

a fire will cleanse you

of this obsession

and destroy them all,

leaving only the key remaining.

It is also the key

that will bring you closer

to the man accountable

for taking your child.

He doesn't have much time, Jeff.

Let the game begin.

Please, get me out of here.

Please!

What is that?

What's that sound?

I'm a criminal court judge,

for Christ's sake!

You can't do this to me!

You don't remember me?

Well, maybe you remember

Timothy Young?

He was the driver

who killed my son.

You gave him six months!

Okay. All right.

We can talk about your case.

Obviously you want answers.

I can't give them to you like this.

This hurts!

You gave more for

f***in' parking tickets!

Listen to me.

I can see that you're

in a great deal of pain,

but there are ways that we can have

his sentence extended.

I can help you!

It's too late!

They let him go!

Don't become what he is!

Don't become a killer!

Please!

I have a son, too.

Where are you going?

You gotta help me!

I'm so sorry!

Oh, God.

You're killing me!

Don't do this to me!

I'm gonna die!

F*** you!

F*** you, you--

You gotta help me!

Shut the f*** up.

Help!

Come on!

He made it through

the second test.

The judge is alive.

Faster than I expected.

All right, John, I need you

to keep your head to the side

and keep still.

What's goin' on here

is that your brain

is pushing

against your skull.

I'm gonna try

to relieve the pressure

by cutting away

a little bit of your skull.

It should help you

with your headaches

and drastically improve

your motor skills.

Do you understand?

All too well.

All right, you're gonna feel

some slight discomfort.

Are you gonna give him

a general anesthetic?

For a procedure like this,

the patient needs to be

fully alert.

Okay.

Amanda, I need you here.

Amanda.

All right, John,

you're gonna feel some pressure.

Let's clamp this.

Stop the bleeding.

Fill that syringe

with alcohol from that bowl.

Hurry.

All right, John,

I need you to keep your mouth closed.

You're gonna hear

a lot of noise.

John, how you doin'?

Never better.

All right.

All right,

you're gonna hear a lot of ringing.

I need you to stay very still.

Here I go.

All right, John,

I'm gonna remove the skull.

He's stabilized.

John, I need you

to raise your hand

and flex your fingers.

John?

John, raise your hand...

hand...

John, can you hear me?

What's happening?

John.

What's happening to him?

What's happening?

What's wrong?

What's wrong?

Why isn't he moving?

Do something!

Please.

Stay with me, John.

Good.

- I love you.

- I love you.

Breathe!

Breathe, damn it.

Breathe, John.

I love...

Breathe.

I...

I love you.

You will give everything to me.

Every cell in your body.

Is that understood?

Yes.

The marks on your arms...

they're from another life.

We'll leave that life behind.

When you go down

that corridor...

there is no turning back.

Do you understand that?

Yes.

Then start with this.

Go.

Who is that?

Who's in there?

I'll kill you, you motherf***er!

I'll kill you, you motherf***er!

Put his left leg in the shackle.

It's time to start our game.

What's that?

Slow my heart rate.

Relax my muscles.

It's time.

Close the door behind you.

He can't hear you.

He doesn't even know you're there.

Amanda.

Put... it... away.

Trust me.

Put it away.

Leave us alone.

Now.

You f***ing freak.

I apologize for her behavior.

She swims in my sea.

In the end,

she will be the closest

I've ever come to a connection,

to being understood.

But her emotion

is also her... weakness.

Adam.

Adam.

Come here.

I'm gonna help you.

I'm gonna help you.

I'm gonna free you.

Adam!

I'm so sorry about your son, Jeff.

But let me tell you something that I...

that I know for sure.

No sentence I gave him,

not 500 years,

not even death, nothing,

will take your pain away.

And vengeance doesn't

solve anything.

It only makes

the pain greater, Jeff.

What the...

What the f***?

Somebody, help me!

What the f***?

Help.

What the fu--

What the f*** are you doin'?

Please help me.

Hello, Jeff.

If you are listening to this,

that means that the confrontation

you so long dreamed of

is finally unfolding.

Do something!

In your head he is a cipher,

a symbol of your life changing,

a symbol of death.

I present him to you now

as a simple human being.

His name is Timothy Young.

He's 27 years old,

a medical student

with a mother and a father

just like you,

a man whose life also changed

the day your son died.

That day he made

a terrible mistake.

You believed he didn't pay

for that mistake,

and now is your chance

to make him pay.

The device Timothy is strapped to

is my personal favorite.

I call it the rack.

The human body

is a miraculous creation.

Ever wonder how far

the arm can twist?

This device is going

to start twisting.

There is a chance he might live,

though, with your help.

Please...

To your right is a box.

At the back of the box is a key.

It's tied to the trigger of a shotgun.

The question you have to

ask yourself is this...

Are you willing...

Have mercy!

...to take a bullet for the man

who killed your son?

Does "Do unto others as you

would have them do unto you"

apply here, Jeff?

Make your choice.

My God.

You've got to help him, Jeff!

F*** me!

Please stop! Stop!

Stop! Please stop!

Jeff!

Jeff!

Just standing there

you're an accomplice to murder!

Are you a murderer?

I've wanted

to kill him every day.
