Oh

Love is the drug

Late that night I park my car

Stake my place in the singles bar

Face to face,

Toe to toe

Heart to heart as we hit the floor

Lumber up, limbo down

The locked embrace, the stumble round

I say go

And I say yes

Dim the lights, you can guess the rest

Oh

Love is the drug

Oh

Love is the drug

Oh

Love is

Love is the drug

Love is the drug for me

Oh, catch that buzz

Because love is the drug

I'm thinking of

Oh

Can't you see

Love is the drug

Got a hook in me

Oh, catch that buzz

Because love is the drug that I'm thinking of

Oh, can't you see

Love is the drug for me

Ain't no big thing

Yeah, no big thing

Whoo!

Can't you see

Love is the drug for me

Oh

Love is the drug

Oh

Love is, love is

Love is the drug

Drug, drug. The drug is love.

Give me that.

Somebody! Help me!

Shh.

Let her go, pig.

I didn't mean nothing.

Just having a little fun.

Are you okay?

Yeah. Let's just go.

We don't wanna be late.

One, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight.

Two, two, three, four,

arms, six, seven, eight. Stop.

Stop.

Where are you right now?

Are you with us or not?

Sweet Pea, take break.

Yeah.

Babydoll.

Come over here.

Come, come.

Let me look at you.

Hm.

You seem fit enough.

I'm going to play you some music, okay?

I want you to just relax. Feel the music.

Open your heart to it. Let it in.

And when you are ready...

...I want you to dance.

STOPS]

If you do not dance,

you have no purpose.

And we don't keep things here

that have no purpose.

You see, your fight for survival

starts right now.

You don't want to be judged?

You won't be.

You don't think you're strong enough?

You are.

You're afraid. Don't be.

You have all the weapons you need.

Now fight.

Again.

Stand up

You've got to manage

Hello?

- Excuse me, could you help me? I'm...

Shoes.

I'm sorry?

Your shoes.

You're tracking snow everywhere.

Oh, I'm sorry. Should I take them off?

That time has passed.

What can I do for you?

Nothing. I just...

Let me ask it another way:

What are you looking for?

A way out, I guess.

You guess?

No, l...

I know.

I need to get out of here.

Freedom.

That wasn't so hard, was it?

I'm going to help you to be free.

What do I have to do?

These are your weapons.

When you take them,

you begin your journey.

Your journey to freedom.

You will need five items for this journey.

The first is a map.

Then fire, a knife and a key.

You said five things.

The fifth thing is a mystery.

It is the reason. It is the goal.

It will be a deep sacrifice

and a perfect victory.

Only you can find it.

And if you do...

...it will set you free.

Oh, and one more thing:

Defend yourself.

What was that?

Seriously, you're gonna have to

teach me how to dance like that.

That was crazy.

That was so amazing. I'm, like, shaking.

I've never seen Madame Gorski

clap like that before.

Well, get over it.

It's nearly lights out.

She's not easily impressed.

She wasn't impressed.

All that gyrating and moaning.

The dance should be

more than just titillation.

Mine's personal. It says who I am.

What the heck does yours say?

It says I'm gonna escape from here.

That I'm gonna be free.

Well, send me a postcard from paradise.

Are you really gonna try to escape?

Yeah. Before the High Roller comes.

- Can I come?

- Me too.

- Yeah, of course.

- You're not going anywhere, Rocket.

I'm gonna do what I wanna do.

No one's ever escaped from here.

You know that.

Yeah. You know, the last three girls

that tried died.

And the same thing'll happen

to the next fool.

Look, why don't you just

listen to my plan?

Don't wanna hear your plan, okay?

None of us do.

Now, let's get ready, girls.

Rehearsal in 15 minutes.

We're not helping Baby.

- Am I clear?

- What if it's a good plan?

Then she can go through with it.

I'm not letting you get hurt.

- I kept us safe through a lot of sh*t.

- I know you have.

I'm not gonna get hurt.

I just can't be here anymore.

And if it is a good plan,

we're both going.

No, we're not.

You're on your own.

- Well, I've been on my own before.

Heh.

Sure you have.

Look where that got us.

Baby saved me from the Cook

the other day.

What?

I was working in the kitchen

and he comes in behind me.

And he pushes me down

and he gets on top of me...

...and I can't even move.

And there she was, just like that.

She had a knife to his throat.

She saved me.

The High Roller comes for me

in three days.

But I'm getting out of here

before he does.

So if you guys wanna come with me,

this is how I plan to do it.

Well?

Okay.

If we can collect all four of these items,

we can be free.

Okay.

- How do we use them?

- Wait up.

First things first.

How do you plan on

getting these things?

Well, whoever has the item we need,

we get them to watch me dance.

While we run around

and pick their pockets?

- Yeah, that's right.

- But we'd be taking all the risk.

We'd be doing the work

while you prance around with an alibi.

No. As long as I'm dancing,

they won't even know you're there.

Okay, so the first thing we need

is a map...

...to figure out where all the exits are,

where the guards are located.

Blue has that in his office.

It's behind his desk.

Right. Good.

Second thing we need

is something to start a fire with...

...as a distraction for when we escape.

Plus, the fire should disable

all the checkpoints.

And the third thing is a knife...

...in case we run into trouble.

The Cook.

- We can do it.

- Okay.

And the last thing's a key.

Blue wears a key around his neck.

What door does it open?

It's for all of them, I think.

It's a master key.

This plan is crazy.

There's armed guards everywhere, okay?

And if Blue finds out, we're dead.

It's not gonna be, "Oh, sorry, Blue,

we won't do it again." We'll be dead.

We're already dead.

- I'm in.

- So am I.

Me too.

All right.

But I'm only doing this because you

guys'd get caught without me, okay?

And if it gets too hairy...

...if I say it's over...

...we stop.

Okay.

Okay.

I'll get the map.

I went for a walk down the railroad track.

Next thing you know, some...

- What do you want?

- She's dancing.

Who is dancing?

Your baby doll.

One pill makes you larger

One pill makes you larger

And one pill makes you small

Baby.

Baby.

He's coming.

He's gonna start the briefing.

All right, here's the drill:

The Germans are preparing a report

for the kaiser. It's a map...

...that shows troop locations

and trench layouts.

Their field commander's

sending the map via courier...

...back to Germany

on a zeppelin today.

How do we intercept it?

You're gonna cross no man's land,

enter the enemy trenches...

...and take the map from

the field commander's bunker...

...before the courier

can reach the zeppelin.

Sounds like fun.

Oh, and I've arranged something special

for Amber.

Give you some cover.

Get you out of there when you're done.

Let's go.

What do you think?

I like it.

German doctors and engineers...
