only odd one out.

Hey, I have a lot of really

awesome friends online.

Oh, my god!

You think if you stopped playing

mmos for five minutes...

Any one of them would give a

rat-f*** about you, you idiot?

Stop.

They don't expect us

to get out of this.

We've been picked because

nobody's going to miss us.

They can kill us

and get away with it.

Wanda

level reactivated.

Let's go.

Gotta keep playing.

Wanda

floor 9.

Recruits! Get in here now!

Keep up.

Many lives are at stake,

gentlemen.

There's a bomb wired to the

foundations of this building.

If it explodes, the building

will collapse...

Taking you with it.

Only he knows the code

for disarming it.

Get him talking,

you'll be home free.

Input the code here.

I'll do it.

Give me the password.

Pushkin.

What the f*** have you done,

man?

Wanda

explosive device initiated.

Manual shutdown required.

T-minus 30 minutes

until detonation.

We still got nine more floors.

See what you've done?

You've gone and got

us all killed!

No, it was part

of the game play!

We had no choice!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Don't pull this.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Enough.

Whoa, what... what are you

doing, man?

What are you doing, man?

Think about it.

What are you doing?

Recruits! I can't

hold this door much longer!

You all right?

Yeah.

We gotta go. You okay?

Yeah.

Get in!

Guys!

We've gotta go. Come on.

Are you all right?

The lift! Now!

We gotta go. We gotta go.

Come on! Go! Go!

Go! Go! Go! Go!

Get in! Go!

Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!

Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!

F***...

Wanda

fifth floor activated.

27 minutes until detonation.

What do you see?

What do you see?

What's out there?

Go!

Go!

I can't hold it forever.

Go!

Not before me, fat boy.

You'll get us both stuck.

Look what you've done now,

you idiot!

Wanda

third floor activated.

They got the medipak.

Will you quit being such a

p*ssy and get ready, man?

Maybe we should wait and see

if the others make it down.

Wanda t-minus 25 minutes

until detonation.

Does that sound like a call

for a doughnut break to you?

Get moving!

Seems stupid to be using gamer

tags now... I'm Edward.

Carl.

Shelly.

Taylor.

Wanda

detonation in 24 minutes.

Maybe losing that dead wood

might buy us a little time.

F***ing piece of sh*t.

F***. F***. F***, man.

You're on point, fatso.

Oh, no.

Let's see what the reaper's

really made of.

Now get the f*** up there.

Go ahead.

I got him.

Wanda

22 minutes until detonation.

I got him.

I've run out of ammo.

Move it or lose it, fat boy.

Wanda

fourth floor.

Here.

Thanks, Edward.

Take it.

Wanda

detonation in 20 minutes.

Ready?

Let's go.

Incoming! Get down!

Carl?

Carl?

Hey, hey, what's going on?

Talk to me.

I couldn't help her.

You couldn't help who?

Emma

Eddie?

Emma.

I tried but... i...

I went back to the fire but...

The smoke... it...

is this your girlfriend?

Edward

we're running out of time.

She died, I couldn't save her.

It was not your fault...

But if you don't pull

yourself together...

We are gonna die in here.

Get up right now.

Ready?

I'm out... I'm out.

You go. Your turn.

Move your ass.

What?

Move! Get in there.

Get over there.

Come on. Get up there!

Wanda

15 minutes until detonation.

Wanda level clear.

High score, da chief.

Reaper? Oh, god.

Atlas?

Come on. Let's go.

Wanda

floor one.

Watch out!

Eat sh*t.

Down.

I'm out.

Here.

That's my last one.

Make every bullet count.

We're also out of medipaks.

I'll look back there.

I'll go with you.

No. I've got it.

Go.

Wanda

12 minutes until detonation.

I saw it first.

What the hell are you doing?

Give me the medipak.

No.

Give me the medipak.

No!

You remind me of my ex-wife.

I hit her, like, one time.

And now I can't see my kid.

Ssh, ssh, ssh.

Taylor?

I need ammo!

Yo.

You're alive.

F*** yeah, dude.

No reaper, though.

I know. I know.

Yeah, he fought to the bitter

end, do you know what I mean?

Have you seen Taylor?

Taylor, er,

slayer girl, Taylor.

Er, you guys get split up?

Yeah.

You hear that? Shh.

Oh, no.

You really think you can beat

me, little man? Huh?

I got a helmet on, you moron.

I know.

What, you think that's funny?

Huh?

If I had more time,

I'd beat you to death.

Recruits were warned not to

tamper with their equipment.

Wanda

seven minutes until detonation.

Let's move out.

Wanda

final level.

Ready?

Wanda

five minutes to detonation.

Go.

F***.

Wanda

four minutes until detonation.

You need to get closer.

Cover me!

Wanda

detonation in three minutes.

Wanda

two minutes till detonation.

I need a medipak!

Quickly! I need a medipak!

You'd better make it

out of here.

Wanda

20 seconds to detonation.

I need a medipak!

I need a medipak!

Wanda

detonation in ten... nine...

Eight... seven...

I need a medipak!

Six... five... four...

Three... two...

...one.

Yes!

Wanda

detonation aborted.

Detonation aborted.

Detonation aborted.

We did it. We did it.

We did it.

We made it, Shelly.

Recruits, today you have earned

your place in history.

Fortune truly does favor

the brave.

You have made strong and proved

you could stay the course.

You have what all men covet...

But few will ever know.

A bond found only in each

other...

A brother in arms.

I am proud of each

and every one of you.

You have served your country.

You are men of war.

You.

Let's get moving, people.

I want to be out of here

by 8:
00.

She's waking up.

It doesn't matter how much

you pay people...

You can't escape their

incompetence.

Get some more.

I never thought it would be

me and you who'd...

Make it to the end.

You won, Shelly.

People died.

But the lives we took...

We enriched beyond a shadow

of a doubt.

They'll find you.

Who? The police?

Who'd believe your crazy story?

This never happened.

So why don't you just

kill me now?

We've shared something.

We're brothers in arms.

If I kill you, it would

have all been for nothing.

Right, we should have

been out of here hours ago.

Find her!

Next time there'll be

no survivors.

Is she dead yet?

You don't want to do this,

Shelly.

The money's yours. Take it.

This is nothing.

Name your price.

This isn't you.

That's right.

We've shared something.

There can't ever be a next time.

Wait.
