but we need to discuss things.

It is not a discussion.

It is needling each other into

these bullshit rationalizations.

And the circumstances

do not alter

what is right

and what is wrong.

Evan, would you give me

a hand with this, please?

(SIGHS)

Thanks.

Evan?

Where's that blowtorch

that was here?

It's not there anymore.

(EVAN SIGHS)

(BLOWTORCH HISSING)

Hey.

Hey!

Wendell!

Hold up. Milch?

What are you doing?

This is where security

keeps the weapons.

MIKE:
Yeah, I know.

We're getting them out of here.

Why?

Because it's important

we keep them safe.

All right?

We don't want someone

coming in here

and just breaking in.

Evan here won't

give us the keys.

So.

Go ahead, Wendell.

(BLOWTORCH HISSING)

I don't think that's wise.

I think the weapons are safe to

stay exactly where they are.

Quite honestly, Mike, I don't

give a f*** what you think.

That was foolish.

Look, man, he's right.

Y'all can't do this. You don't

need no more weapons in here.

I'm gonna shove this

down your goddamn...

(ALL SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY)

Whoa!

Hey, chill, man. Lower your gun.

Lower that gun, man. Come on.

Who the hell do

you think you are?

Not much, man, but don't try me,

I'm on f***ing edge!

Listen, son, we just

wanna make sure

these weapons are safe,

all right?

Shut the f*** up! I swear to God,

I'm two seconds away

from blowing a hole in your ugly,

motherfucking face!

Hey, look at me, man.

Look at me! (BREATHING SHAKILY)

You had a hard day, right?

You saw your friend

get killed.

Come on, man.

I know, I know.

But you don't wanna do this, okay?

You don't wanna do this.

LEANDRA:
Put it down.

It's gonna be okay, man.

Just let me

handle it, okay?

It's okay.

It's okay, it's okay.

(GAS HISSING)

Let's go.

(GUNSHOTS)

Well, there.

Jesus, Mike!

Let's go.

Yeah.

You know what, Mike?

(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)

That was

a stupid f***ing move.

We're gonna need help.

(MUZAK PLAYING)

That was hardcore, bro.

(CHUCKLES) Oh, sh*t!

They know who they f***ing with now!

Evan, you wanna just blow

him and get it over with?

Damn.

What?

What?

PEGGY:
Yeah, and then we attach

with those and stuff like that.

Mike, where have you been?

Uh, we ran into some problems.

Hey, everybody.

Listen up, okay?

You need to look

out for Norris,

Terry and Wendell Dukes,

all right?

Um, they're working

against us here, okay?

Yeah, now especially.

Hey, we need that rope.

We're gonna be done here in 20 seconds.

It's not really up to the

standards I'd like but...

It's beautiful, it's not a contest.

Come on. Here we go.

Really? I'm trying to

make these things pop.

You want us to

be saved, right?

KEITH:
You can put

the finishing touches

when they're hanging

on the side of the building.

The f*** are you doing,

Mike? Hmm?

Are you trying to get killed?

What? (SCOFFS)

What?

Mike, you don't antagonize

those types of people.

Seriously, I'm just starting

to think you're stupid.

Hey, hey, hey.

F*** you!

What? For saying,

"Hey, hey, hey"?

No, because you need

to be realistic, Mike.

Everyone here is

afraid for their lives.

And at that point, whatever

you think is right or wrong

goes out the f***ing window.

It's human nature.

At the end of the day,

people are out for themselves.

You're driving me crazy.

Let's just go take

care of this, okay?

Okay.

Hey, Mike.

We're ready now.

And, uh, obviously, we all just

heard your whole conversation.

Just so you know.

You know it's not a separate room,

it's just a cubicle.

Maybe we'll

just get going.

Yeah, (CLEARS THROAT)

let's go.

For what it's worth, I thought

he was totally out of line

saying "hey" like that.

(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)

(MAN SOBBING)

(MARTY SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)

(WOMEN SCREAMING)

Did you drink any?

We're doing you a favor.

Move, a**holes!

(SOBBING)

(DOOR OPENS)

Sh*t!

We can hang them from here.

Roll them out.

Tie the corners in knots.

Tie the ropes to the corners.

LEANDRA:
Got it.

Yeah?

Oh, f***.

Keith, don't stop.

Keep going, come on!

No, Keith, don't!

Come on! Help me!

Mike, stop! Mike!

MIKE:
Come on! We almost got it!

(KEITH GRUNTS)

KEITH:
Oh, sh*t!

Oh, f***!

Watch it!

Look out!

Jesus Christ!

Misspelled "hangar."

Mike, what are you doing?

We have to try again.

What and get shot?

(FEEDBACK WHINES)

THE VOICE ON PA:

Please cease and desist

hanging the notices

off the side of the building.

If another attempt is made,

the explosive in the offender's

head will be detonated.

F***!

VINCE:
Mike, look out!

Mike, stop!

Mike, stop it!

(ALL SHOUTING)

Get down.

Mike, what the hell?

MIKE:
No, we can do it!

I can. Come on!

LEANDRA:
Stop!

Can you hear me? Stop it!

Do you hear me?

Do you hear me?

What is wrong with you?

Do you hear me? Come on.

Yeah.

(ROBERTO COUGHS)

Mike, are you okay?

You can't save everyone,

Mike.

So what are you saying? Hmm?

That we just do what they say?

I don't know.

Who the f***

are these people?

(MIKE SIGHS)

I don't know, Leandra.

I've been thinking.

(SOFTLY) This job...

What is it?

(IN NORMAL VOICE)

I mean, this location.

Out in the middle of nowhere.

That never made any sense.

This building, it's like it was

designed for just this purpose.

They've had these tags in us

for over a year.

Mike, you're saying that the

government's the one that's doing this?

That's who we work for.

No.

Think about it. They've never

seemed to give a sh*t

about the work

that we actually do.

For the past year,

they've just had us

running in circles like hamsters

on a f***ing treadmill.

There's no way, Mike.

There's no way.

(SOFTLY)

What if the only reason

that we've been here

all along, because of this?

I don't know, some kind of

human experiment.

Mike, listen to me. Do you hear me?

That's impossible, okay?

Impossible.

(SCOFFS)

Look at me.

We're gonna be okay.

Now we should go.

Let's go.

Hey.

Just was looking out,

in case them ones come back.

Yeah.

My mother never wanted me to

move to Bogot for this job.

Back of my head

will be blown off

and the first thing

she'll say is, "I told you."

Mike!

(EVAN EXCLAIMS)

You stay!

You stay!

Norris,

what are you doing?

Leandra,

you listen to me, all right?

This guy is

putting us all in danger.

He's gonna get

a lot of people killed.

Terry.

Terry, come on,

he's your friend.

(STAMMERS) Yes, I know.

That's part of the reason why.

He's not being rational,

is he?

Keys.

You want the f***ing keys?

(SCREAMS)

What the f*** are you doing?

He threw the keys!

What, stabbing him is going to make

them fly up the f***ing stairs?

You shut up.

He had to get it anyway.

(GROANING)

What do I do?

What do I do?

She can't stay here.

F***!

Get the f*** off of me,

you pin-eyed pervert!

Don't you call me a pervert!

I'm not a pervert.

BARRY:
Chill out, Wendell.

Come on.

I said, come on!

(WHIMPERING)

(GROANING)

(INAUDIBLE)

(MUFFLED) I'm sorry, Evan.

(INAUDIBLE)

(SIGHS)

Give them one mag a piece.
