[CLOCK TICKING]
[â™ªâ™ªâ™ª]
Next theyâ€™re gonna come after me.
Especially if Iâ€™m out there all alone.
Well, if youâ€™re not back in an hour
Iâ€™ll assume they did.
And then what?
Iâ€™ll just have to think of something, wonâ€™t I?
Now get out of here. Go on.
Oh, wait. Wait, wait.
Here.
Do you have cash? No.
All right. Use the Amex.
I maxed out the other cards buying this Kevlar bullshit.
[EXHALES]
Hey.
Youâ€™re a good girl.
Yeah.
Mom, one of them is leaving.
Then we have numbers.
Whatâ€™s this? M4?
[SIGHING] Alex...
You said you had armor-piercing rounds, right?
Alex? What?
Forget it. ALEX: Forget what?
Itâ€™s too dangerous. We open that door,
I donâ€™t know what might happen.
You said so yourself, okay? Your clock will run out,
the Fixers, theyâ€™re gonna come.
Then Iâ€™ll shoot them.
You canâ€™t. Theyâ€™ll send more.
Then Iâ€™ll shoot them too.
ALEX: The Watchers wonâ€™t stop. They will hunt all three of us.
Theyâ€™ll hunt us forever.
Let them.
[COCKS GUN]
Yeah.
If you really wanna tear some shit up,
I just got this semi-auto shotgun the other day.
Nine rounds, you just gotta cock it once. Bah.
Blow a hole big as a football.
[SIGHS]
That, with the M4, and the AK--
Wait, how many mags you want with the AK?
I donâ€™t know, two, three?
I can that for like eight Gâ€™s?
MOOCHIE: I could chip in.
No, Mooch, I got this.
Iâ€™ve been saving for something.
Here, Iâ€™ll even throw in that. Jesus Christ!
Itâ€™s all good. Just donâ€™t pull the pin.
What the hell am I gonna do with a grenade?
Blow shit up, fool.

Morning.
I am here to see my uncle.
Whatâ€™s your uncleâ€™s name?
Sherman. Carl Sherman. Okay.
Just sign in right here.
NURSE: Do you know where youâ€™re going?
Ah...no I donâ€™t.
Room 204, down the hall,
take a left.
204. Mm-hm.
All right, thank you, thanks.
Hey, you know what? Um...
Howâ€™s he doing today?
Oh, you know. Just being Carl. Ha, ha.
[CHUCKLES]
Right, yeah? I know Carl.
But how is his...
...Health?
He was pretty with it yesterday.
Is there anything you think he might need?
Well, you know how he likes his
candy bars?
Right. Thatâ€™s...
Carl and his candy.

Hey, Carl.
Jacob.
Remember me?
Jacob, yeah, of course. Yeah.
I uh, I brought you your favorite.
Just set them over there.
Iâ€™ll set them here.
What are you watching?
Oh, uh, some silly show.
I-I donâ€™t know.
I was about to beep the nurse. Would-would you...
Uh, would you get me some orange juice?
Itâ€™s in the fridge.
Sure.
[CLEARS THROAT, BREATHES IN DEEPLY]
CARL: Mary came by the other day, brought the kids, uh.
That, uh...Reed.
[CHUCKLES]
Heâ€™s getting big.
Uh, yeah. No, yeah he is. Heh.
[POURING ORANGE JUICE]
[REFRIGERATOR DOOR CLOSES] [CLEARS THROAT]
Here you go.
Uh, why donâ€™t you stay?
Watch the game?
Yeah, okay.
Ahem.
[SIGHS]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER ON TV CONTINUES]
[â™ªâ™ªâ™ª]
Youâ€™re joking, right?
Do I look that fucking helpless?
Why does everyone think itâ€™s okay to smother an old man?
Nah, Iâ€™m not kidding, youâ€™re the third person
thatâ€™s walked in here and tried that.
It was worth a shot.
Well, congratulations.
Now you got 6 hollow-points aimed at your nuts.
Put down the pillow.
Now, I could shoot you right now.
But I donâ€™t want to get thrown out of here.
I like it here a lot.
That nurse, Tiffany? With the big boobs?
She gives me a sponge bath every Tuesday, makes my dick hard.
I love that Tiffany.
So, whatâ€™s the plan, then?
The plan is that you leave, you donâ€™t come back.
You just let the clock run out.
Go on to your next box.
Well...
You should know that a little girlâ€™s life is at stake.
Well, thatâ€™s a shame.
Now, what do you want me to do about it?
Let me.
[CHUCKLES] Wha...
Let me expire you.
[LAUGHING, COUGHING]
Youâ€™re serious.
I mean look at you, youâ€™re on oxygen.
Youâ€™re taking a bunch of synthetic stuff to keep
your heart from stopping.
What is this, you got?
Oxy.
Christ, Carl.
Do you have cancer or something?
[PILLS RATTLE]
What kind?
I didnâ€™t say I wouldnâ€™t shoot you,
I just said Iâ€™d prefer not to.
Come on, Carl. How much longer
you really think youâ€™re gonna live?
Past today.
I know that much.
[PILLS RATTLE]
This game...
Itâ€™s taken a hell of a lot out of me, Iâ€™ll admit that.
But I wanna live long enough
to see my great-grandson grow a little.
Maybe teach him how to throw a curveball
before Iâ€™m gone.
You can call your family.
Right now. Weâ€™ll have them come down,
you can say goodbye.
We can do all that.
I still have...
About 24 hours.
Look, I am begging you.
Just, let me expire you a little bit early.
Just a little.
I seriously need you to think,
about what youâ€™re doing here.
If you donâ€™t let me do this,
I mean...
Little girl.
Seven years old.
Sheâ€™ll be dead by sundown tomorrow.
Thatâ€™s not my problem.
Not my problem!
Now get out of here or I will empty this.
Okay.
Sorry.
Oh, wait. Hold on, wait.
The gun.
Leave your gun.
I saw it in your waistband.
Slow.
Iâ€™m just gonna set it down, all right?
Right on the table.
Attaboy.
Now, get the fuck out.
[â™ªâ™ªâ™ª]
Itâ€™s your problem now.
[GASPS]
[ALARM RINGING]
Where do you wanna go?
What?
When we run.
Donâ€™t you think the Watchers will hear us?
[SIGHS] Yeah, theyâ€™ll hear us.
I want to go somewhere with snow.
Snow would be fun.
I think Japan would be pretty cool.
You know, like Tokyo?
So many people, you can just get lost in the crowd.
You think the game exists in Tokyo?
JOSIE: Who knows?
Didnâ€™t you say that you met a guy once who got a box in Spain?
Doesnâ€™t make it true.
What if thereâ€™s nowhere that the game doesnâ€™t exist?
[â™ªâ™ªâ™ª]
This thingâ€™s fireproof, right?
Yeah, but it will turn into an oven.
But the fire department will get here in time, right?
The fire department wonâ€™t come.
The Watchers will 86 it.
They want to watch us burn.
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
[PANTING]
Iâ€™d invite you in for coffee,
but the place is still a wreck.
Still?
Yeah. Goddamn contractor.
First, itâ€™s a week, right?
Then itâ€™s two. Now,
heâ€™s gouging us on the overtime.
I mean, weâ€™ve already got, like,
three Mexican guys who basically
just sit around all day, drinking soda.
Now, all of a sudden he needs another guy, right?
Nothing is ever easy.
I told Cheryl it was gonna be like this too, right?
All of a sudden sheâ€™s like,
"What the hell is taking so long?
When are these guys gonna get out of here?"
I mean, I told her, right? She just does not listen to me.
Uh...

Blew him away with a shotgun.
Bam! Whoo!
Iâ€™m telling you...
you shouldâ€™ve seen his face. Heh.
And the girl...
She was ready.
She had her gun out.
She didnâ€™t know how to use it.
She was scared.
Christ.
She was so scared.
[â™ªâ™ªâ™ª]

Can you tell me Iâ€™m not a bad person?
[SOBBING]
Mm. Please.

I need your help. Please help.
Iâ€™m sorry.
Uhh. Black box.
Black box.
If itâ€™s real...
itâ€™ll be here soon.
Yeah.
It already is.
[â™ªâ™ªâ™ª]
Someone left it at the door.
Where is it?
I couldnâ€™t look at it. It was making me sick.
[â™ªâ™ªâ™ª]
Five hours.
Thatâ€™s all theyâ€™ve given you.
[LAUGHS]
I knew they would do this.
Thatâ€™s what they want to see.
[â™ªâ™ªâ™ª]
[MEGAN SOBBING]
MEGAN: Oh, mom.
[LAUGHS]
My oldest...
Caleb...
I lost him on my very first box.
Just flat-out refused to play.
I didnâ€™t think theyâ€™d actually do it.
Next day, overnight delivery shows up, big old box.
The second I saw it,
I just knew.
His arms and legs, all neatly arranged,
wrapping paper and the whole deal.
You see, they were laughing at me.
But, you see, Iâ€™m laughing at them now.
It turns out...
itâ€™s hard to stop someone who doesnâ€™t give a fuck no more.
So go ahead.
Yeah, sheâ€™s ready to die for her mom.
Ainâ€™t that right, sweetie? Thatâ€™s my girl.
See? She ainâ€™t foolinâ€™ either.
How about you go first?
Oh. Okay. Mom. No.
JOSIE: See what happens.
You shoot my girl.
I shoot your girl.
Maybe your boy and my boy can shoot it out.
But your boy, he canâ€™t kill me.
Because that wonâ€™t count.
Itâ€™s gotta be you.
Otherwise you lose.
And my boy Alex,
he can shoot you.
â€™Cause it makes no difference.
Youâ€™re not my target.
Isnâ€™t that right, sweetheart?
You point that gun right at her.
There you go.
So, what do you think?
You kill my girl.
I kill your girl.
Then my boy shoots you right between the eyes.
So then what?
Your boy shoots my boy.
He might live.
But still, it wonâ€™t count, right?
Batting .500, as it were.
Donâ€™t push me.
Iâ€™m not pushing you.
Just saying, how you wanna play it?
Do it.

Okay, okay. Wait here.
[GRUNTS]
Give me the keys.
Iâ€™ll drive. Come.
Look at me.
Everything is gonna be fine, okay?
Weâ€™re gonna find that Jacob guy, and youâ€™re gonna kill him.
Then theyâ€™re not gonna hurt Alex.
[ENGINE STARTS]
Itâ€™s okay.
Iâ€™m ready.
Iâ€™ve been ready.
I never wanted to be a mother.
I never thought it was right for me.
But that first time I held him...
All of a sudden, we were this normal family.
You know, careers, condo.
We had a nanny.
I never thought Iâ€™d be a person who needed a nanny,
but we had a nanny.
And then, Jordan, my husband,
he got a box.
And he couldnâ€™t bring himself to do it.
Heâ€™d never even been in a fight before, let alone held a gun.
The Watchers have taken everything from me.
My son, my husband.
It all happened so fast, without any explanation.
I... I couldnâ€™t...
And thatâ€™s when I met Max.
Thatâ€™s when he swooped in to save the day.
To save me.
I gave him everything I had left.
And now, there is nothing.
I am ready.
No.
They will kill her.
Itâ€™s 6:15.
In 17 minutes, she dies.
I mean, how would I--?
How would I do it?
How would you wanna go?
Havenâ€™t thought about that part yet.
Yeah.
You could push me.
Chance I might not die, though. At least, not right away.
I donâ€™t wanna use a gun.
Itâ€™d be easiest. No, I canâ€™t.
Itâ€™s too...
Iâ€™ve always sort of have a fantasy about drowning.
Drawing a warm bath,
putting on some nice music...
and sinking down and taking a deep breath.
It has to be me, though.
You could hold me under.
I donâ€™t have a bathtub, though.
Oh. [LAUGHS]
[â™ªâ™ªâ™ª]
You could slit my throat. Iâ€™ll bleed out in 90 seconds.
From what Iâ€™ve seen, itâ€™s not a bad way to go.
Avery-- I have a scalpel in my kit.
Itâ€™s so sharp I wonâ€™t even feel it.
Stop. Iâ€™m thinking. Youâ€™re running out of time.
I know, Iâ€™m thinking.
Just do it, okay?
Your brotherâ€™s dead because of me.
Stop.
I couldâ€™ve helped you, but I didnâ€™t.
He made you.
You were afraid, Max made you.
Is that what you think? You think he made me?
He made you.
He and I watched together while you killed the Mitchells.
We watched, and we laughed.
Stop. Then we watched them kill King.
We watched them blow his brains out.
Avery. And then we fucked,
and we had a nice dinner.
And you know what, Jacob? I liked it.
Stop lying to me.
[â™ªâ™ªâ™ª]
You are...
the first good thing thatâ€™s happened to me
in a really, really long time.
[â™ªâ™ªâ™ª]
