I'm gonna eat!

I'm gonna eat too,

where's that f***ing steak?

Come everybody,

come eat something man.

Stop it!

Stop it goddammit!

We're gonna die okay?

Jokes and f***ing fear

is all we have left okay?

And I just decided right

after I'm done eating

I'm gonna f***ing escape.

Jeffrey.

You hear that?!

I'm gonna f***ing eat,

and then I'm gonna escape.

Anyone wanna escape with me?

Jeffrey come on, relax okay.

I'll vote for you.

Thanks.

You know, you're f***ing dope.

Alright, down boy.

That was sweet.

You know what?

I'm going to eat everything.

Jeffrey just cheered me up.

I have a question.

They say we're criminals.

Hey Robby what'd you do?

What do you mean?

Nothing.

I mean I have forgotten

to expose a couple things

to Uncle Sam but,

it's a cash business,

it's not a big deal.

Yeah, you see what they

do with your tax dollars?

They f*** America.

Everyone knows what I did.

What about you Arnold.

I can't think

of anything that bad.

Are we being honest

with each other?

Yes.

I don't believe they

have such incriminating

evidence from gadgets.

No man they do.

Ever since 9/11

they come out with

all kind of electronic

mumbo jumbo things man.

They have drones, GPS.

They're in every house

in America.

Big brother's watching

man, there are no secrets.

Okay Robby,

what did they see you do?

Did you drop someone

in the ocean?

I don't know Jaclyn,

what did they see you do?

What, you kill off

one of your clients

for not paying his bill?

I'm too smart to kill

someone that owed me money.

Who did you really kill?

You leave her alone.

Now the professor

comes to life.

Let's get back to it.

Don't forget these

people haven't presented

any proof at all that any of us

are guilty of anything.

I still can't believe

they left my purse.

Exactly Jaclyn.

On what basis

are we to decide which

one of us goes free?

Perhaps we should

take a preliminary vote

and go from there.

Why the f***

are we letting these

fucks tell us what to do?

If we're gonna die,

then we might as well

just f***ing die together.

Okay, f*** 'em.

Wait, is that what

everyone wants to do?

Die together?

I'm willing to choose someone.

Why not?

Okay f*** it.

What are the rules.

No, they're

more like guidelines.

We wanna share

more about our lives.

There goes votes for me.

Why, I'd vote for you.

You've probably brought

more joy to this world

than all of us combined.

Yeah, Harry would

agree to that.

I really wish Harry

could second that.

Yeah well, I'll do it for him.

Obviously Harry

was a murderer.

No question.

His poor wife.

That was so cruel.

I think he deserved it.

To die I mean.

Yes, but most murderers

aren't executed.

What they are doing here to us

is wrong

on so many levels.

Harry could have been

legally out of his mind.

He was out of his mind.

But you know,

now that I think about it,

the rat deserved to die.

Because

he lusted after you?

Hell no!

He should have been

roasted for what

he did to his wife!

Now that's cruel.

You sound like these people.

Some people ought to die.

That's my opinion okay.

Ladies.

Sorry, I just have

to think like a lawyer.

People, we're

running out of time.

On what basis

are going to do this?

I have a confession to make.

I have a problem with my anger.

I can't control it sometimes.

I don't know where it comes from

and I don't know why.

It makes me insane.

I needed something

to calm my nerves

so I started to play cards.

See I have

an addiction to like Harry.

Except mine's gambling.

Lost my boat last year.

Along with my woman.

Have you ever

been tested for PTSD?

My sanity

is being tested here!

Have any of you people

ever read the constitution?!

All is fair in love and war.

That's what they say.

I say we all get out

of this by being smart.

What do you say Victoria?

Smart is good.

You know your broccoli

looks better than mine.

Can I try it?

Of course.

You have just a little

broccoli right there.

Thanks.

Take them...

You know, I really wish

we had met

under different circumstances.

So do I.

Excuse me, does anybody

mind bringing me

some of that steak and

a knife to cut it with?

Allow me.

There you are.

Thank you very much Arnold.

Aren't we all hungry

for a little more steak?

Yeah I'm starved.

I'm hungry, yeah.

Yeah man,

I'm gonna get some more.

Robby which branch

did you serve?

The Corps.

That must've been tough.

Do you need a napkin?

Yeah.

Thank you.

It's diabolical.

I feel like I'm

in a Stephen King movie.

What do you mean?

We wake incarcerated,

tied to our chairs,

masked men tell us

that we're all

condemned to death

and that we'll be

eliminated by tonight.

Masked men with guns pointed

to the back of our heads.

It's horror.

Then they give us

coffee and donuts.

Dinner?!

We're here

because of some secret funded

government program

designed to cut deficit.

This is an all new

kind of horror.

No Robby, it's only new to us.

In other countries they

kill anybody they want

any time they want.

Wait.

I do have a point here.

Now they become

even more contemptible

by asking us to

choose someone to go free.

One person to live.

And I'm assuming that

none of us wants to die.

And by voting

for that one person

we're condemning ourselves.

That's why

they didn't untie us.

What are you saying?

They could have

easily untied us right?

When the gunned men came in

it was as if they had planned

it that way, you know?

That we would untie each other.

I don't get it either.

They wanted us to bond.

Right.

You understand this?

Look, remember he said

that it was very important

that we get to know each other.

See?

No.

They want us to feel

empathy for each other.

We were in the same danger

and we had to help each other.

That's the spirit I think of how

they want us to look at this.

Not us condemning ourselves.

But us helping someone else out.

Respect.

Yeah, f***ing respect.

You're saying that they're

giving a group

of condemned criminals

a chance to do something

good for someone else?

Yes.

Okay, well we set

someone free and...

And acts as a counter

element to implicit justice.

It's justice softened by mercy.

I'm not buying it.

These people

are ruthless killers.

No, no, no, no.

No, setting one person free?

Man that sound

just like what some

bastard bureaucrat would

do soften their conscious.

Yes, they need that,

but these people

are murderers themselves

on an illegal,

unconstitutional program that no

congressman or senator

would ever approve of.

Well they wouldn't have to.

It'd be buried

inside some huge bill

that no one took the time

to read.

They can do that?

They could, they did.

They did,

it was all in the news.

They passed some

new funding bill right?

But attached to it was some

new gun thing a gun law

that no one saw coming.

And no one knows

where it comes from.

They hid it from us,

and now it's a law,

that's what this is.

So this could be real?
