The Employer
Okay, okay...
Look, look, I did it.
I pulled this out of the wall.
Come on! We can both do this,
we can get out of here. Come on!
Come on! Come on, come help me.
Help me! Come on!
Look, what if I was to tell
you...
that you were laid off from your
I don't understand.
Well, your company was taken
over by Carcharias.
I mean, it was nothing personal,
but we had to downsize.
Corputech was owned by
Carcharias? I never heard that.
Well, of course not.
Because that's what we do.
Buy and sell companies.
Asset strip.
That's impressive.
Yes, it is impressive.
So, when this position became available,
for an analyst, we thought of you.
Amongst all the others.
Who...
It's okay! It's okay!
It's okay! It's okay.
Oh, my...
It's okay.
All right then. Before we wrap
up here, any questions for me?
No, sir. I think I know everything
I need to know at this point.
All right, last question:
Is there anything you wouldn't
be willing to do for this company?
No, sir.
Are you sure?
So, how'd you
How'd you get here?
Someone attacked me last night at my
apartment. I don't know. What about you?
sister. And then, we hailed a cab.
And then, this limo driver pulled
up and asked if I wanted a ride.
And I refused. And then, um
Did he put a cloth
over your mouth?
Yeah. I think he did.
Me, too. Must have been like,
chloroform or something. Why?
I don't know.
Um, I'm Sandra, by the way.
James.
What's that?
Nothing. I, um I was looking
to see if I had my phone.
They took it, of course.
My wallet, too.
Do you think this is like, a kidnapping, or
something, like they're holding us for ransom?
I'm not worth anything.
You've got to be worth something to someone.
I mean, do you have any rich family members?
No, I don't have any.
Rich or poor.
So maybe it's not
a ransom thing.
What do you make of these?
It looks like some kind of bank
vault, or something.
Hey.
What the hell?
It's okay, it's okay-
Where am I?
It's a room. It's locked.
It's... um...
I'm Sandra, this is James.
We just woke up, too. Well,
I can tell you one thing...
If you get hired by this company, you
will never ever want of another job.
Would you really be willing
to hire somebody...
with no real world business
experience for this position?
Probably not.
But you never know.
I mean, as you know because of your
report, all the candidates for jobs here...
they all have extensive
experience in the business world.
However, because of your in-depth
knowledge of our company...
we almost have to hire you,
don't we?
I mean, just to keep
our secrets safe.
Well, either way,
your secrets are safe with me.
I'm sure they are.
So how do we get out
of this sh*t hole?
That door is solid.
Stop it. Stop it, stop it!
Get the f*** off me!
Are you okay?
Calm down.
Well we're running out of time here.
So, anything you want to ask me?
Yeah. When can I start?
Well, if you get through your
next interview...
then you could be employed
almost immediately.
What do you want from me?
Just for you to cool it.
No one here is gonna hurt you,
we're all friends. Right, James?
I hope so. But we haven't
gotten your name yet.
I'm Billie. That girl you hit
over there, that's Sandra.
We're not yet acquainted with
the big guy in the corner.
Now, what's your name?
It's Keith.
Is there anything specific that you'll
be looking for in this next interview?
No, you just keep that boyish
enthusiasm alive think you can do that?
Sh*t. This guy's bleeding.
We gotta stop that.
Where are we? SANDRA: We don't know.
We're trapped in here. There's locks on
the door. Four of them. Combination locks.
Is he dead?
Not yet.
Billie. Is that some kind
of dyke name?
The f*** is your problem?
Whoa, you guys, cool it.
We need to stick
together here, okay?
We're being watched.
What?
Look up there.
Son of a b*tch.
Is that a camera?
Yes, it is.
How do you know?
Because I don't live under a rock.
I used to do security systems.
Can they hear us?
Possibly. I mean, there'd have to be
a mic someplace. It could be anywhere.
Like through that vent.
What do they want with us?
Maybe they're sick fucks
who get off on this.
Maybe they're gonna gas us.
Maybe that's what the vent's for.
No, if they wanted us dead,
we'd be dead by now.
So what do they want?
F***. F***. F***. F***!
What?
They took my f***ing cigarettes.
That is your biggest problem
right now?
Yeah. It is. I'm a pack
a day kinda guy.
It helps me deal with stress. And this happens
to be a pretty f***ing stressful situation.
Well, maybe now's your chance
to quit.
I happen to like being a smoker.
I like the taste.
I like the way
it smells on my clothes.
And I especially like the fact
that it pisses off non-smokers.
You got a problem with that?
I didn't say anything.
You know,
I have a right to smoke.
And if it takes off ten years out of
my life, at least it's the back ten.
Hey, can you hear me?
Now it's a party.
What's your name?
Mike.
What really aggravates you
in this world?
You know, like really
pisses you off?
I don't like it when people
judge a book by it's cover.
How so?
about someone else...
like how much money they have, or how
smart they are, based on appearances only.
That really sets me off.
How's your head?
Still hurts.
Yeah, it was bleeding before,
but Billie, she bandaged it up.
Thank you.
How did you get all banged up?
Last night, I got jumped by like
five guys who came to my house.
I fought back, hard.
Got a few good hits in, and then they pinned
me down and they put a rag over my mouth.
Did you recognize any of them?
No, no, I just assumed it was some
random thugs trying to rob my house.
Maybe that's it. Maybe we were
all just chosen at random.
I had a job interview today, too. Maybe when
I don't show, they'll know something's wrong.
Who's the job with?
A company I'm sure you've
never heard of.
Try me.
Carcharias Corporation.
Oh, my God.
I'm up for a job there, too.
Yeah, so am I. I was supposed
to have my third interview today.
Get the f*** out of here.
You, too?
I guess we found our connection.
You know, I can see an egghead like
you being up for a job like that...
but you're not telling me the rest
of you are Carcharias material?
Yes, that's exactly
what we're telling you.
So what are your qualifications?
I'm co-owner of a company that
doubled their profits every quarter...
went public. What about you?
I've been a partner in a consulting
firm for the past five years.
I've owned my own consulting
firm for seven.
Oh, you got time in between
weight lifting events for that?
Whoa, hey.
Whoa.
Let's get this straight, okay?
I work out to stay in shape.
That's it.
So stop f***ing with me!
No problem.
Or I will kick your ass.
Yeah, I got it.
So how about you?
