of yours truly.

Complete with 10

new catchphrases.

[Doll] That's right, the

raptors are back this year.

Get yours now

while supplies last.

Every single network

is covering the games.

This is even bigger

than last year.

Looks like a riot in Midtown.

Eh, nothing new.

They've been

protesting for years.

Yeah.

We should put some of

those Cavemen in the games.

Yeah no sh*t.

Come on.

We're starting the maze.

[Crowd] No more games, no

more games, no more games!

[suspenseful music]

Only eight remain.

What a cast though, huh?

The Mason brothers.

Would you take out

one of your own

if it really came down to it?

We'll see.

We got Joy.

Ah, Joy, Joy, Joy.

I'm telling you, there

is something special

about sweet little Joy.

Then we got Albert,

the cannibal.

Albert, you make me sick.

In a good way, of course,

because people tune in

just to see you die.

[laughs]

I like you.

Keep you around for our

international viewers.

And then we have

poor Anthony Tucker.

Doesn't really seem like

he's cut out for this,

but you know what, America

loves a tragic hero so I do too.

Hang in there, buddy.

Stephanie.

Oh Stephanie.

I'd really hate for

someone or something

to ruin that pretty face.

Guess we'll have

to wait for that.

And El Avispa, The Wasp.

I like you.

You're naughty.

Alright, wake 'em

up, I wanna play.

Welcome, contestants.

I hope you are ready for

your first challenge.

We like to call it the maze.

A favorite segment of the games

and our longest-running

challenge.

The rules are simple.

Be the first to

escape your chains

and you will be awarded this.

Right?

Use it to protect yourself,

use it to obliterate

your enemies.

The choice is yours.

I think in the right hands,

the hands of a fighter,

the hands of a winner,

this fine piece of hardware

could wind up ending

the game early.

Anything can happen

in the Jurassic Games.

That's what makes

it so much fun!

So here we go!

Ready in three two one go!

[suspenseful music]

[laughing]

I got it!

You're all dead!

I win!

Game over!

Albert, Albert!

You have no honor if you

use that now against us.

Shut up!

[gun fires]

Anybody else, any last words?

Please, please don't

shoot, I was kidding.

- I won't kill anybody.

- Stay still!

Please!

Shoot him, what

are you waiting for?

He's not gonna shoot him.

He's the perfect

person for the gun.

The one that won't use it.

[alarm blares]

[exciting music]

[screeching]

Move away.

[gun fires]

Ren.

[screeching]

[hitting]

[shouting]

[groans]

[gun fires]

[screeching]

Go, go!

Go!

[gun firing]

- There's not an exit.

- What?

There's not a way out,

they're all dead ends.

That way!

Where's Ren?

- Who?

- The grate.

Get back!

[gun fires]

Go, hurry, go!

[gun firing]

Go!

Move!

Move!

[shouting]

Watch out!

[shouting]

[laughing]

We're right back

where we started.

[gun fizzles]

[shouting]

[hits]

Congratulations, contestants.

Well done.

Stephanie.

Because you were the

first to exit the maze

I am gonna reward you with this.

And not far from here

you will find a crate

containing a few potentially

game-changing supplies.

This map will help

you get there safely.

Stephanie, you may

choose to share it

or keep it to yourself.

The clock is

ticking, contestants.

Give it to me!

Hey back off!

I want that.

[punches]

Hey, let her go!

Get off me, boy.

[coughing]

I got it.

Come on.

I got it.

Let's go.

[stabbing]

[shouting]

Like that?

How does that feel?

First thought to

have been a hoax,

Stephanie Rogers

brutally murdered 16 men

and broadcast her kills

live on the internet.

She spent the last three years

at the Starkweather

Federal Penitentiary

prior to her acceptance in

this year's Jurassic Games.

She'll use her charms to

seduce the men in the game,

just like a black widow

luring them into her trap,

killing them in cold blood.

[scoffs]

Gimme a break.

Come with me.

I have to do some

fluff piece interview.

I'm joined now

by Savannah Black.

She is the director of the

controversial sensation

known around the globe

as the Jurassic Games.

Savannah, thank you for

joining us this afternoon.

Oh, my pleasure Jack,

thank you for having me.

Let's begin right off the bat

with the morality issue here.

Uh, excuse me?

Well you know

as well as anybody

the show is

controversial, even still.

Are we still discussing this?

The contestants on our show

are going to die anyway.

Now what we're doing, with

the support of the government,

I might add, is giving

them a chance at freedom.

But some say this is too much.

Isn't this really nothing

more than exploitation

of these contestants

for money, for ratings?

And you are essentially torturing

them on live television.

Well I'm not concerned

with a vocal minority.

A lot more people

love the games.

300 million the

last time I looked.

It's what the people want.

You didn't answer my question.

Well they are still

dying by lethal injection.

- Yes, but...

- Listen.

We didn't invent this.

As much as I'd like

to take credit for it,

public execution is nothing new.

Think back to the days

of the Roman Empire.

The gladiators fought

tigers and there was

a Coliseum filled with people

wanting the tiger to win

and most often it did.

Now at least on our show

one of our contestants

is guaranteed to live.

What about Anthony Tucker?

There are a lot of folks

out there who believe

he was wrongly convicted

of killing his wife.

Well he was convicted

in a court of law

and sentenced to death.

And that is the only

qualification required

to enter the games.

Oh, that and they

look good on camera.

But wouldn't you agree

having an innocent contestant

killed on your show does

nothing more than fuel the fire

for groups like The Cavemen?

I'm not familiar with them.

You're trying to tell

me you've never heard

of The Cavemen?

I am aware of a very few

and extremely disorganized...

Come on, it's well-known

they have promised

to disrupt the ending

of this year's games.

Surely you're aware.

Well groups like

that have tried before.

But our security is

tight, and I am confident

that the games will go

on as they always do.

Now we are approaching

our next challenge

and your audience

won't wanna miss that.

Savannah Black, thank

you for joining us.

Oh, thank you Jack.

A**hole!

Volunteering for the games

is an admission of guilt!

These aren't people,

they're murderers.

God, I've had it up to

here with The Cavemen.

People have a

right to protest.

Okay, protesting is one thing

but threatening to

disrupt the show's ending,

whatever the hell that's supposed

to mean, is unacceptable.

You don't like the show?

Well neither do I,

and do you know why?

Because there's a winner.

One of these lunatics

gets to walk away free.

And it makes me sick.

If it were up to me they'd

all be dead already.

[tense music]

[roaring]

That thing is huge.

So why did you

enter the lottery?
