Cue music, and...

Roger, Control. Playing Mozart's

'String Quartet No. 17 in B Flat'.

Mother, all systems show green.

Can't see, can't see!

They took our blood.

They took our blood.

Can't you see it?

We all agreed to say 7!

Activate stimulus 1, Echo.

Do it! You're f***in' one of them!

You are! You're f***in' one of them.

Do it, do it, do it!

Be advised, all Echoes. Candidate

identified barrier, escape route 18.

in the pre-action report.

- Echo 1, initiate stimulus 1-Foxtrot.

- Roger Wilco, Control.

What's it say?

"Where does the United States

of America rank...

on the international list of overall

average Intelligence Quotients"?

"Subject farthest from correct answer

will be last civilian casualty".

"Fail to provide answer entirely or

providing same answer as other subject...

will result in automated mutual end".

"Best luck".

People will do anything to survive,

don't you think?

I'll go to Hell for what

I did, Uh?

Yeah, you'll go to Hell.

- What's an intelligence quote?

- Quotient! Quotient. It's your IQ.

You know the answer?

I didn't... I didn't mean to do it.

It was an accident.

No, you just uh, you just did what

you had to do. Right?

You did what you had

to do. Right?

All teams be advised.

Initiating stimulus 1-Gamma.

Who's that talking again?

Talking, talking...

No, that's not talking.

That's praying.

They're f***in' praying.

Tony was right.

Come on! Come here!

Now right above my head

is a very thick ceiling...

with an air shaft. Alright, do you

understand what I'm saying now?

It'd be easier with you,

but I can manage without you.

No, no. I was thinking...

the only way out would be just to

cooperate, maybe, to cooperate.

Cooperate? How many of these people, these

names on the wall, do you think cooperated?

Look at all these names. How many people?

These f***ers are up to something with us!

How many days, how many weeks

how many years...

you think these f***ers

have been doing this?

Studying people.

They are capable of doing sh*t to us

that we could never imagine.

Now we have to do...

we have to tell somebody.

We have to, we have to go tell somebody.

Anybody.

And let people know that these f***ers

are here. Right now, they're here.

I'm just going to do what they

tell me to do.

All teams, Mother identified

final candidate for this test group.

When they first recruited me to MK-Ultra...

I was just like you.

A young doctor,

trying to save some lives.

If you have to terminate a candidate...

you have to do it quickly,

as painless as possible.

It's not easy to kill a man.

Or a woman

for that matter.

Observation, please.

You know who the

final subject will be.

You've known all along.

From the questionnaires

before you started.

To a point, yes.

Some candidates

fall below expectation.

Now, nobody will never

f***in' remember me. I know it.

If you don't wanna spend

another moment in this room...

answering another f***in' question,

I can get us outta here.

- You wanna stay here?

- You're gonna get f***in' killed.

- Subject to change facility breach.

- Roger that, Echo 2.

Help me up, why don't ya? Come here, Paul!

Help me up! Come on!

That's it, that's it, come on! Push up!

2 and 4, hold short. Remain observers only.

Do not engage.

Don't interfere with the experiment.

- Candidate 3 is now into escape route 16.

- Roger that, Echo 1.

Go!

- Temperature under control.

.5...

Heat-ray intensity

.8...

Increase retabs to 245.8...

Approaching red light, Control.

Approaching red light, Control.

Looks like Candidate 3 heading east

along escape route 18.

Team B, upper level.

Echo 7 and 13,

stand by to engage.

Do not interfere with KR-13.

- Echo 2, amplify transmission.

- Wilco, Control.

Roger that, Echo 3.

Echo 7 and 13, stand by to engage.

Candidate 3 is still moving

Echoes, engage and suspend.

after medicals visit parameter.

- Control, Candidate Delta is unconscious.

- Copy.

Sir, Medical Report:

and transfer teams

are bringing him back now.

All teams prep for KR-13,

log down and relay.

Good work, gents.

Mother is pleased.

Transfer teams:
Position static,

and maintain an aggressive posture.

Get up!

Come on, come on!

Come on!

Security breach.

Security breach.

KR-13 security breach.

Corridor 3 unsafe.

Exit and enter.

Give me the key.

All teams standing by

for re-engagement.

I know this can be

overwhelming, life-changing.

You have let me down.

They told me you were ready.

You're not ready.

Stand by for viewing-room lock out.

I am ready.

We're testing the breaking points

of civilians.

We're proving what they're capable of.

You're wasting my time.

You wanna hear my observation?

Your analytical skills are exceptional,

but you don't have the stomach nor

the resolve to be part of our program.

Apoptosis.

Apoptosis, that's your objective isn't it?

There's a more effective way

to reach your outcome.

How much time?

"Where does the United States

of America rank...

on the international list of overall

average Intelligence Quotients"?

Five... five.

Five? What's that?

America is definitely in the top 5 in IQs...

I read about it in Time Magazine,

when I doing that f***in' Graham experiment.

You go with 5.

It's your best bet, I'm tellin' you.

And then, you know, one of us dies, but...

one of us survives, right?

What do you think they're gonna do

with the survivor?

Do you think

they're gonna let us go?

- We have to be prepared.

- Prepared for what?

In half an hour, that door over there

is gonna open...
