we've known there was something captivating
about watching human beings fight for their lives.
That's why we watch gladiator games, public executions.
We created a sport for people
who still have a thirst for savagery.
AMANDA: What did you just do?
Our customers are
some of the most powerful people in the world.
Real fun game, huh?
Every year they demand more.
More complicated rooms,
more ways to gamble on life and death.

in the middle of everything,
Amanda took the time to hold my hand,
to tell me that everything was gonna be okay.
Your mother's not really gone though.
Be more specific?
I told her about my fear of flying.
I told her about my mother, the plane crash.
Mom!
Mom! Mom! Mom!
And what did she say?
I have a daughter.
She told me about her daughter
and how she kept her close when she was deployed overseas.
Wanted to be sure that she'd always be with me,
so I told her,
when someone you love becomes a memory...
...that memory becomes a treasure.
It sounds like Amanda was a good friend.
She was.

Sorry, our time is up.
Look, Zoey, my job isn't to believe you.
My job is to make you better.
So let me ask you:
What would it take for you to be free from this?
What would it take?
Yes!
Take that trip to New York you keep talking about.
The one with Ben that you keep postponing.
You've tried to fly three times.
I can't do this.
Okay, yeah, let's go.
ZOEY: No, no.
Hey, Zoey! I...
Yeah, I-I wanted to run that by you, actually.
We're thinking of driving there.
What would it take to finally get you on that plane?
Because that's what we want, isn't it, Zoey?
To get you on that plane?
I need to know that the criminals
who killed the four people in front of me
are held accountable for what they did.
SOFTLY It's okay.
And I need to know
that they're never going to do it again
to me or to anyone else.
Then...
and only then, will this all be over.
ZOEY: Hey, Ben.
Hey.
What'd she say?
She thinks that driving to New York
is a way of avoiding my underlying fear of flying.
But you know me. The best way to get me to do something
is tell me not to do it.
What does that mean?
Let's do it. Let's drive.
There have been trucks going in and out of that building

They wouldn't embed their coordinates

We're here reporting live from a warehouse
in downtown Manhattan, where local authorities
have discovered four bodies
and evidence of a grim criminal enterprise.
We are still getting details, but we are being told
these unsuspecting victims had been lured off the streets
into what they thought was a typical escape room,
only to find out the stakes were literally life and death.
Now, the criminal organization behind this is known as Minos.
Our sources are telling us
that both federal authorities and Interpol
have been after them for some time.
Three survivors are now working with local authorities,
and we'll update you as the story develops.
Amanda's giving them everything.
Proof that she didn't die in a climbing accident.
Proof on the rooms and everyone.
We've got Minos dead to rights.
What about her daughter?
They're still looking for her.
Sorry to interrupt. I'm Special Agent Freddy Will,
running point on the task force.
I'm sorry nobody believed you before.
However, because of your actions,
they didn't have time to wipe the place.
Hard drives, client lists...
We're running raids across the country as we speak.
What happens next?
We build one hell of a case.
My colleagues in Chicago will reach out.
I believe this is yours.
We found it in a box with your name on it.
ZOEY: I never thought I'd see this again.
Thank you.
No, thank you. Both of you.
I'm sure you're both ready to get back home.
We'll be in touch.

It's over.

It's okay.
I thought I lost you.
Hey, look, we're free.
We can go back to normal.
Whatever that means.
Eat at restaurants, buy houseplants.
Not break down in the frozen food section.
Hey, can I ask you to do one more thing for me?
Yeah, sure, anything.
Would you fly back with me?
Of course.
If not now, then when, right?
Yeah.
Hey.
Thanks for coming with me.
I couldn't have done this without you.
Heh, yeah, of course.
I wasn't even nervous. I love flying.
What?
I don't know. It just...
You don't have a choice.
Did it seem a little too easy?
The light leak in the beach, the tool to remove the cover,
the exposed gas line in the attic,
my compass. I mean, how'd they get it so quick?
BEN: You really think the whole police station was bullshit?
Why would they let us go?
It's over.

What would it take to get you on that plane?
I need to know that the criminals
who killed the four people in front of me
are held accountable for what they did.
We're running raids across the country.
ZOEY: And I need to know that they're never
going to do it again to me or to anyone else.

We're free.
