The Killing Room Page #3

by candidate Delta...

at 2 hours and 10 minutes. Be advised

all Echoes, we are live at 1-Charlie.

Roger, Control. Stat chart

puts candidate in 95th percentile.

Think there's more down there, too.

- Yeah, everywhere. Holy sh*t!

- These are names...

There's T... T... Tammy.

"Remember".

Hey, they're more than names,

they're more than names here.

But they've painted over,

so that you can't f***in' read it.

Rita Hatinburough.

Oh, sh*t.

I gotta read it. May be something

here that can help us.

What does it say?

"Pray, pray...

Pray for us".

"Pray for us".

What, what does it say?

Kate M. December... December 25.

I told you it was them.

Christmas.

It's f***in' Muslims.

They killed a guy on f***in' Christmas.

They killed a guy on f***in' Christmas.

"Pray... Pray for us here".

No prisoners, hey?

Muslims.

There's gotta be a clue in here.

There's a way to beat these bastards.

The project is continually changing,

evolving.

You will help it to do so. As you can see,

everything is meticulously planned...

and initiated

just like any other MK program.

It's an exact science.

We have to stay on top of it,

we have to refine it, refine, refine.

It usually took us 6 to 8 hours

to reach this point.

But after we put those names on the wall,

now that really sped up the process.

13. Now.

Now let's screw it.

It's not that hard.

It's 7.

everybody al... always picks.

- Why would it be any different, 1 to 33?

- No, because this isn't 1 to 10.

No one can answer the f***in' question,

no one can answer the question.

Maybe, maybe it's 2

Maybe 1 to 3, 3... talkin' 1 to 33...

F*** you!

- Wait!

- No!

You feel better now, buddy?

Just what'd ya think

you're f***in' doing?

Stupid, f***in' stupid,

stupid, you could've...

Think!

F*** it!

That bullet goes off, it would've bounced

all over the f***in' room.

I'm tellin' you,

he better start f***in' thinking!

I don't want it.

Shoot! Shoot!

- Shoot!

- He's not there.

- Shoot! Shoot! NOW!

- He's not there! Get... C'mon.

- Can you see him?

- No.

What happened?

- There's nothing there.

- You, anything?

- No!

What, what?

I was only feet away.

I was f***in' near nailin' em...

Wait, wait...

Echo 2, amplify transmission.

- Wilco, Control.

- They can't see us under here.

- Okay?

One of us is gonna die next.

It could be me or it could be you.

Initiating audio stimulus 1-Delta.

There's somebody out there.

Go to the window and distract them.

- How?

- I'm goin'.

Go to the window.

Get over, get over here!

Relax your hand, relax your hand.

F***in' get us out of here.

They're f***in' movin' the clock.

How long does a race horse last

when he looks like this?

You are definitely the

most entertaining of all of us.

They're probably gonna want to keep you

around so they can... so they can watch you.

Get me up, man, get me up!

The elimination must be rigorous.

We have to be certain

the perfect candidate emerges.

Considering the lengths

you'll go to find it,

what you're looking for

must be... extremely rare.

Is this a problem for you?

Not a problem.

Ready?

Yes sir.

- Echo team, how do you read?

- Gimme Charlie, Control, another busy day.

Listen, listen. So we're each gonna pick

the same number, okay? Each one of us?

- Then it's a tie, and nobody dies.

- Everybody dies.

No, nobody dies, because it's a dead heat.

We're all equal.

We need to just follow the rules.

One of us has got

thirty minutes to live.

We gonna have to start picking

some f***in' numbers.

I'm unlucky with numbers.

Hey, hey, hey, we need you

Paul.

I'm gonna pick a really easy number, okay?

Yeah, now when I 1st saw the questionnaire,

the first thing came to my mind was 17.

No, 17 was on the wall.

It's gotta be 7.

- 7's fine.

- 7?

- 7 it is.

- 7?

Who's gonna answer the question first? Tony?

- Yeah.

- Paul, you go second; I go last.

When I'm dead...

Gary Brodie... Buffalo.

I think he's still there

and not in Syracuse.

Just tell him I was here.

Nobody knows.

Gary from Buffalo or Syracuse.

I got it.

My girl, Costa Billings.

Spell it how it sounds.

Just tell her I love her, and uhm...

make sure she takes care

of my mom.

- You?

- Me? No.

Nobody needs to know.

Hail Mary,

Full of grace,

The Lord is with Thee,

You think they're really

gonna go through with this?

Yes.

These people won't stop

until everybody's dead.

Amen.

- Alright, 7

I have a kid

named Mae Ann Haines.
