Ah! I'm hit!

You just need to breathe, okay,

slayer girl.

I'm not slayer girl.

Lucy is slayer girl.

I'm Taylor,

i came in her place.

Okay.

I took her place!

Well, you just need to listen

to me, Taylor. I took her place.

It's only a game.

Just remember that.

All these people, they're not real.

They're just pixels and graphics.

No matter how gory it gets...

then f***ing shoot someone!

Okay... I will.

It's harder than you think.

Oh...

Oh, sh*t, I got him.

I got him!

All right, I surrender.

All right?

What?

F***! Turn it off!

All right.

Help! He's hurt!

It's okay. Look.

It's okay.

Oh, f***!

No, there is something wrong.

Oh, god. Fu...

what?

I don't know what to do.

I got this.

It's not a game.

It's not a game.

You know what I think?

I think it's a reality TV show.

It's gotta be.

We're all gonna be famous.

It's not reality TV.

All right, I thought

i was gonna die.

No one is gonna die.

Oh, come to daddy.

Real shocks?

Yeah.

Man, how many times do I have

to say it? Real f***ing shocks.

And it came from this.

It's probably just been

calibrated wrong.

So is... is nobody else worried?

First we got locked doors and

now this, real f***ing pain?

We gotta get this sh*t

off us now.

It's not coming off.

Yo, it's a test, man.

If y'all are too p*ssy to pass

it, I will happily take that money.

It's your military industrial

complex.

What are you talking about?

Something like this

needs an inside man.

Oh... oh...

You know, it was very nice of you to

show us how to use the weapons, shooter.

What was that? Bit of basic

training on top of the 101?

I used to serve.

You all know that.

You still do, ese.

What is this, some private

sector bullshit, now?

I know as much as you do.

Hey, don't get involved.

Hell, you do, man.

We all got the same invitation,

right? Right?

Is this some kind of a sick

experiment?

Remote warfare or massacre

at the touch of a button?

Wanda

level reactivated.

Hey.

Back off, little guy.

I think everyone just needs

to calm down, okay?

You know what?

F*** all of y'all.

Look what you did.

Whatever, man.

Wanda elevators are

restricted during the game.

I don't need any more

of your sh...

what was that?

Agh!

Taylor?

What's going on?

Wanda access to lower level

denied until current level completed.

Let me out of here!

Let me out of here!

Help.

Help... help.

Wanda level clear.

High score, reaper 2000.

Come on! Reaper 2...

Help...

You hear that?

Oh, Jesus Christ.

Shooter! Jesus.

Oh, my god.

Oh, my god. Shooter?

Shooter? Shooter?

All right.

Come on.

Come on.

Shooter.

We have to stop this game.

Someone got hurt.

No one got hurt.

He didn't make it.

Really, I mean, what's going on?

What's going on?

All right, okay.

What are we gonna do now?

Call in the organizers.

Right.

We shut this thing down.

And then we sue the bastards.

Wanda level clear.

Please proceed to the next level.

The helmets...

What?

It doesn't just give you shocks.

It f***ing kills you.

It's like some kind

of Sonic blast, right?

That's what it is?

He didn't make it

to a medipak in time.

Oh, those sick fucks.

It's like a game over.

I want someone to smash

this thing off me!

Come on.

I'm serious, right now!

Anybody?

I'll do it.

I'll do it.

All right.

Wait.

Is this really a good idea?

Look what it did to him.

Yeah, look what it did to him.

All right?

Give it your best shot.

Okay.

Come on, come on.

I gotta hit you harder.

Okay? All right?

Wanda please proceed

to the next level.

We're running out of time,

people.

They're gonna... regenerate.

You seriously wanna play on?

We've gotta get

to the next level.

Stop doing that!

We're running out of ammunition.

We're running out of medipaks.

We stay in here,

we're gonna die.

He's actually got a point.

We're doing this.

Keep going. Keep going!

There will be no desertion

in Alpha company!

No, no, no, no, no!

You have been warned.

Hey, you all right?

We... we are not getting

out of here alive.

You're all right.

Tell her to shut the hell up...

Before she gets us all killed.

When it smacks them

around the head.

So let's make them notice.

What are you doing?

Stop, you can't do that.

Do it again, do it again, do it

You have been warned.

I'll say it again!

There will be no desertion

in Alpha company!

The next soldier who

tries to escape...

Is going home in a body bag.

Would you look at that.

We can't just leave him behind.

I ain't carrying him

over the finish line, man.

Just hide me.

Hide me, now.

You can't hide from the game,
