I just want to know why you are doing this to me.
Why Im doing this to you?
Ah, well thats the next question Jack....
- welcome back to the elevator,
why am I doing this to you?
Is it A:
JusticeB:
InsanityC:
RevengeD:
love?And we are playing for one of your eyes.
Do you want me to repeat the question?
Whatever answer I give you,
Then itll hurt me.
Youre going to use it as a pretence to torture me.
Youre a sadist.
What are all these questions?
Answer my questions and youll find out.
Justice would mean - someone has wronged you.
But I still dont know why I have to pay for it.
Is it about Anna?
Are you doing this.
Are you doing this for Anna?
Anna's your problem, not mine.
You call this justice, but its sheer evil.
And you're not insane,
and in no way is this about love.
Because love would never motivate this kind of torture.
Is that your answer?
So Im left with revenge.
Is that your answer?
What have I done to you?
God!
What are you blaming me for?
I am waiting for you to confirm your answer
Revenge.
My answer is revenge.
Is that your final answer?
Somebody is coming.
Well done Jack. Youve got guts.
Revenge?
Why revenge?
I still, I dont know what theyve done to you
What theyve done?
Yes, they, them, not me.
You're looking for some kind of justice
and youre seeking it for revenge
but there is a difference...
- between the two of them and you cant see it.
No. Actually there is no difference
Youve never read the Bible?
The "Lex Talionis"?
The law of like for like.
When a serious injury is committed,
You are to take a life for life,
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
So now you know, revenge has brought me here.
We get to the next question....
- which is - What have you done to deserve this?
A:
LiesB:
StealC:
CorruptionD:
Murder?I dont know what you're talking about.
I have never done any of those things!
Jack! Answer!
I cant!
Enough!
Stop!
I cant answer for something I've never done!
You owe me an answer!
I owe you nothing!
A:
StealB:
LiesC:
CorruptionD:
Murder?Ive never done any of those things.
Steal, lies, corruption or murder?
Answer, answer me!
Lies corruption or murder!
You know what you did!
You know what you did.
You killed my son.
You killed him.
You killed him.
Youre making a terrible mistake.
I didnt kill anyone. Never.
I dont even know your son.
You gave away all my money, and you tortured me.
For nothing.
If I had done the things that you said,
I would have confessed!
Nobody can stand this!
Please, let me go.
You wont regret it.
For the rest of your life.
You dont know how it feels to have a child.
Its an indescribable feeling, Jack.
You feel needed,
and you realise....
what your role in life is
To hold him, to raise him, protect him.
And every step he takes, youre one step behind....
- always behind.
Hes always on your mind.
Then one day you realise something is not right ...
- and its him. Hes missing his father.
And he starts asking why Mommy isnt with Daddy anymore
And you tell him the truth, you tell him...
- that Mommy met Daddy in Brazil
and that you had a love affair, but it was not to be
But he was meant to be. Christopher.
He was meant to be.
But with his curiosity,
he needs to give his father a face.
So, you contact his father
and go to Brazil with him ...
- to meet him.
Its only a short trip you think
though you cant be sure
But you persuade yourself its for the best
And then you come home, but the requests keep coming
The trips, vacations,
and then he is 17 and can travel himself
You call his father, the police, the embassy.
But he simply disappears
And then in the middle of the night,
You get that call.
Hes been found.
In a ditch. Kidnapped.
Killed. With his kidneys torn out.
When these things happen to a mother,
All youre left with is pain...
- and tears and photographs
But a mother has a right to know
So I looked for the truth.
And I found it.
Human organ trafficking.
What are you talking about?
What have I got to do with it?
You know what it has to do with you.
You are making a mistake.
You are making a terrible mistake.
I have nothing to do with this.
You must believe me.
You are making a terrible mistake.
I've searched for you.
No.
For the past three years. This is not an error.
This is not a mistake.
What the f***...
George! George!
George! Wake up!
What the f*** are doin up there?
[Indistinct reply]
I came with your telephone,
I bring it back to you.
[indistinct]
George, come here!
[indistinct]
What took you so long?
Theres a woman
Shes trying to kill me.
What you do to her?
I didnt do anything.
Listen, she is going to be back in a minute.
Okay, so we got to try and get the Hell out of here.
Okay?
You got to help me undo the belt
try and get my hands free, okay?
Okay.
Okay, come here. Come this way.
Yes. Okay. Yes.
You gotta find the belt?
Find it? You got the belt?
Hold still.
Yes, got it.
Good job George. Okay.
Shes coming back.
Jesus Christ.
You still have two minutes left.
Hold on George.
Im gonna go for help.
Dont forget me.
Lady, thats loaded.
Come on down, Jack.
Jack!
If you dont come down,
I will be forced to kill him.
He doesnt look like he would be
too happy to die for you.
Jack, get the f*** down here.
Did you hear that?
Now I count.
One, two, three.
Say good-bye to your friend, Jack.
You wont kill him.
Excuse me?
Its me you want.
And if you want me
youre gonna have to come up here.
I'm not coming down.
I am not guilty.
If you want to kill me,
youre gonna have to come up here and get me!
I am innocent!
All I want is to give me a chance to prove it.
I had nothing to do with your sons death.
You know, it doesnt take this elevator very long
to get to the top.
Any idea whats at the end?
No. You dont think ahead do you Jack?
You dont worry about the consequences.
Well, you looking up?
Well, thats not a light...
- Its a bumper.
And the elevator only stops when
It hits that bumper
Otherwise known as The end of the road.
So, if that's your final answer...
stop!
Just a few seconds.
Stop, I'm coming down!
And the show will be over.
Jack?
You can come down now.
Itll take me a minute.
Take your time.
Down you come.
I am fed up with you f***ing with me!
Now we have two questions left.
Enough of this game.
The question for which we are getting your lying tongue. If...
Which of the following countries
is notorious for human organ trafficking?
Is it A:
ItalyB:
BrazilC:
CanadaD:
Australia?I have no idea what you are talking about.
Oh, come on Jack, this one should be easy.
Youve been there, right?
You do not want the truth. You want your truth
I cant give it to you.
Dont you get it?
