Senseless Page #2
I'm an economist
IBIS is your country's economic CIA.
My work has nothing to do
with politics.
Your denials are annoying me more and more!
Perhaps the time has come to hurt you again.
Anyway...
we are letting the people
decide what lies ahead.
This is being done in a
truly democratic fashion.
We've put forward the evidence
to the world and asked them to judge you...
for a price of course.
How much have you raised so far?
The money's not important...
what is truly interesting is
how the people are voting...
and the votes say we should go ahead.
Hasn't anyone voted
to have me released?
Of course...
but they are less vocal.
Now you know what it feels like
to be in the minority Eliott Gast...
to be controlled by the cruel wishes of the
majority in the same way as the Basques...
the Flemish...
the Irish...
the Iraqis, the Kurds...
the Tibetans, the Aborigines,
the Native Americans...
think about that.
Showtime Eliott Gast!
Scream then...
More action means more money...
and more money means you get released
sooner- are you making the connection?
Here nurse,
No, no.
Scream damn you.
Give the people what they want.
My tongue, oww my nose...
it hurts so bad mummy.
Make it stop.
F*** you!
It's a beautiful day outside Gast...
a touch of what you Americans
call Indian summer?
Unfortunately for you, you cannot enjoy it
because you're... otherwise engaged.
Haven't you done enough already?
There is still much to do.
Yesterday's activities did not generate
the levels of interest we expected.
I have to ask you to work
a little more closely with us.
Your resistance is simply prolonging
your suffering,
practice your screaming - please.
Why don't you just kill me now?
It would be so obvious...
so crude...
so Archduke Ferdinand.
It is easy to kill...
in your country children
go to school and do it.
What a typically American idea
that I should just kill you huh?
And how should I do it hmm?
Should I set fire to you?
Should I strangle you?
Maybe I should ass-f*** you to death?
My thick cock
will make short work of you.
People will be finding this scene
intriguing and disturbing don't you think?
Eliott Gast?
No-one is amused
by the suffering of others.
People are always fascinated
by pain and suffering...
as long as its not their own.
Perhaps...
but people have empathy as well...
A man who single-handedly affected...
the lives of millions for the worst
now talks of empathy?
Go now.
One more thing...
your nurse is not coming today...
she is meeting with the others in the group
so we can reassess her personal resolve...
she sends you this.
Good morning Eliott.
Where is she?
She has responsibilities
beyond tending to you.
Why are you doing this?
If you want attention you have
to go completely over the top.
This week, an earthquake in China
has killed thousands.
Dissidents in Belarus have
taken over a nuclear reactor.
A new virus has been identified
in India.
has killed her baby in the microwave.
This is our competition Eliott Gast.
We have to do something so audacious
Small acts simply splash on the surface
like a stone thrown into a pond.
You, on the other hand,
continue to set new records.
Millions have watched, more every day.
I disagree.
Of course you would.
My advice -
practice your screaming.
Why you held me here?
You have to scream loud if you want to be
heard over the incredible din of the world.
You have to be, Pow!
Over the top!
Boom... over the top.
There's no reason for this to continue.
Imagine what this feels like.
You can see me...
you've seen what goes on
in this hellhole...
I know that.
But that's not enough...
you're not doing anything about it...
you're not making it stop...
so you're a collaborator...
you're giving them an audience.
If you quit watching it will stop...
if you keep watching,
it will continue.
You are angry with me.
Where have you been?
My time is not my own.
You must be punished for your role
in the American conspiracy Monsieur Gast.
This way we can send
a powerful message to the world.
You told me you would help me.
I think I know how you can.
I'm not in a position
to do that right now.
Our purpose is clear...
our resolve unshakable.
Please... argue with me.
What is happening here
will not affect national policies.
This is a personal assault.
Your work made you a public figure.
You represent the vast apparatus that your
government has put in place to control us.
I represent only myself.
And your attempts to turn me into some kind
of symbol are truly misguided.
Imagine if I were
your brother or your husband,
how would you
like to see them mistreated like this?
I have no husband.
Our files on you are open to the public
M. Gast,
it is up to them whether
to deserve this treatment or not.
We're selling lead soldiers...
for 50 cents.
Thanks.
He did what?
Eliott stole money from a blind boy.
Eliott!
Eliott! Open the door right now!
I didn't do anything!
I said open this door!
Darby told me what you did.
You cannot stay in there forever.
Stay the hell away from me!
Greetings Earthling.
Get away!
Fetch.
Get away!
If I were you I'd leave them in.
Stop it! Please stop!
For all those that have suffered
at the hands of US aggression.
Stop! Please stop!
Finally some action around here eh!
Bio-polymer.
Made from sheep's plasma and resin.
Usually they apply it underneath the skin
graft to get the right kind of bond.
Incredible stuff.
Expensive too.
Eliott Oh, it's too much! Stop!
Oh! It's too much, please!
What is too much anymore?
We have an obligation to our audience.
A little more emoting
would be good right now.
Oh God...
If I find it in my sh*t
I'll be sure to tell you.
If you're going to vomit,
do to your right...
that's your best camera angle.
Don't pass out on us now Gast!
The fun has just started.
We'll be right back
after a word from our sponsors.
Excellent, excellent, excellent.
Just keep doing what you are doing.
Contributions are up...
and here's an interesting
aspect Eliott Gast...
there's been a turn of tide
in you favour.
Many people are asking
for your release...
there have been highly
visible media campaigns...
a Washington Post editorial...
statements in local government...
and your wife... has been very active
in gathering support.
Despite her heart warming efforts...
more people are making donations to see
our project continue than to stop it.
Any teenage boy that can get his hands on a
credit card number has been donating money...
and offering up intriguing ideas
as to what we should do next.
Now for the good news,
we have found that there is a high
percentage of return visitors.
People are seeking us out...
