Who is Viktor Sams?
No one knows Viktor Sams.
- He did this, he was watching us.
Those of you who thought Lawrence Collier was super sus,
I'm beginning to think you were right.
Whoa. - Your followers,
who else do they suspect?
The clients expect a Collier in charge.
But you are not a Collier.
You are your father's daughter.
Biologically? Of course.
- Not what he says. - She threatened my son.
Oh, my God, I know who it is.
Katherine is Viktor Sams.
Where is Katherine Collier?
And you didn't untie me, so you could escape.
They hacked our ship, help is not comin'.
- There's enough here to sink us.
Thank God, your backup.
That is not my backup.
You work for Viktor Sams.
Gather the guests. We are going to play a game.
The world is ugly.
You have made it so.
You, the 0.01%
and those who ride their coattails.
Some have already gotten what they deserve.
Keith Trubitsky,
Alexandra Hochenberg,
Llewellyn Mathers,
Katherine Collier.
What they owe has not been repaid.
Not in full.
Viktor Sams has been watching. He knows what each of you has done.
He's meticulous in his justice.
Who the fuck is Viktor Sams?!
Is he here? On this ship? In this room?
What matters is he is in control. Interpol is no longer in command.
Stop! You can't. Hey!
And we're expected to believe you let Rufus and Eriksen go?
They were innocent,
unlike the rest of you.
♪ tense music playing ♪
The innocent have been sent home.
Where are you taking them? To shore.
Viktor Sams has no qualms with your crew, Ms. Goh.
My son is out there.
The lifeboats are gone.
We're 70 kilometers from shore. In one hour, this ship will be destroyed.
Wait-wait, don't tangle with that. These things are sensitive.
- How do you know? - Well, I don't, but they look it.
- They aren't armed. - Yeah, yet.
No. No, no. Jules. No, no, no. Get in there. Hide.
Now, Jules! Go on, trust me.
Ah. So, you're the assholes trying to sink my ship.
I am here to hold an auction for your lives.
The only way off this ship is our helicopter.
Nine of those seats are empty and they are now for sale.
You may move freely.
I will be accepting bids in suite 218 until noon.
If you're tempted to cheat,
I strongly advise... don't.
The auction starts
now.
Putain.

- You gotta focus. - Focus. Life is a toilet.
Uh-huh. How much do we bid?
Nothing. I'm not playing.
That's not funny. We got not much fuckin' time.
And ya know the Chuns are just gonna steamroll this whole thing.
But they're spread more thin than we are, right?
'Cause they need all nine seats and we just need five.
You, me, uh, Leila, Imogene, Dad.
- Not my dad. - Yes. Yes, he fuckin' is!
And he's s-sick, which you could've told me about months ago.
But we can hash all that shit out when we're home safe.
You're the negotiator. What do we bid?
Jesus fucking Christ. Now is not the time to--
Okay. Anna, our lives are on the line, so I really, I really need to know.
How much cash do we have?
Three billion from the Chuns hit our account.
Alright! Okay. I can work with three billion.

Oh, I don't know.
Maybe because some psycho's trying to blow up my life's work.
Shh!
Look, I know you're angry.

Fine, I'll take it... but right now we need each other.
Oh, my God, you're okay.
Thank you. For the escape plan.
- Yeah, my timing wasn't perfect, but-- - We'll do better next time.
If there're listenin' devices in here,
they hid them well.
Did you find anything?
No, but I don't trust it.
He would not cut us loose without keeping an eye.
Huh, probably right. He's had access to every inch of my ship.
There's no knowing what he's installed here.
- We need to find Rufus. - We need to get off this ship.
Well, lifeboats are gone. Vola's gone. Helicopter's under guard.
There's no way off, save to play their game.
- With whose money? - Right. Exactly. We're trapped.
So, what's the plan?
What? I don't know what I'm doing. I'm nothing. I'm a thief.
Okay. Uh,
he wouldn't have taken Rufus and Eriksen for no reason, right?
Neither of them are explosive experts,
so the only threat they pose is figuring it all out.
Exposing Viktor Sams.
- You agree, he is on the boat? - No, he's definitely a guest.
Well, there aren't many candidates left.
Background intel. On all of them.
So, let's figure out who this fuckin' guy is.
We could be looking at these pictures all day.
We don't have all day. What would Rufus do?
I don't know.
Look, I don't know what he'd do.
Well, fuck that. What would you do?
♪ tense music playing ♪
I think I'd ask the guy who knows.
ANDREAS [over PA system]: Be advised: To bid for a seat on the helicopter,
you must first show proof of funds.
There are nine seats. Eight of us. We have to come in hot.
- Here comes the priest.
We don't share all the same beliefs, Mrs. Chun, but we both value family.
My son is out there on a boat with your great-grandkids.
They're cold and scared, and wondering where we are.
You want my grandmother to buy you a seat.
Derek has already lost his mother.
Please... don't make him an orphan.
You owe me.
You broke a promise.
You used me to hurt Katherine.
You're the reason that she was all alone out there,
the reason that Viktor Sams could get to her.
Careful.

Hm.

A billion what? Euros?

Who's gonna fly the fuckin' thing?
I am. Junior year, I took a semester off 'cause my tennis elbow was flamin' up.
I got certified on prop planes
and a Sikorsky. - Yeah, fuck no, Brad.
This is the dumbest idea you have ever had.
And I'm including the cellphones for kindergartners concept.
For those of you who thought Lawrence Collier was super sus,
I'm beginning to think you were right.
Pray for me, y'all. - Toby... where's Katherine?
She didn't come by to make my breakfast.
I'll help.
I know you have a policy. You don't lend out money to friends.
I respect that. I've never taken money from one.
Good on you, Father.
It's one of the reasons we love you so much.
But I need you to break that policy, my friend.
It's a matter of life and death.
Toby, you know I can't.
Mm, Katherine has already approved it.
- She did? - Yes.
We... just need you to sign it.
Well... if Katherine--
The bidding is approaching a billion a seat?
Yes.
How many would your grandmother like?
None.
She refuses to play. - And yet, you are here.
I'd like to make a bid.
You do not have access to your trust fund.
Without your grandmother, you are illiquid.
Here's what I propose.
Make me your straw bidder.
Tell them all that I have raised the price
to an even billion.
Someone will bid more.
And when they do,
you will guarantee me one seat... for my labor.
You wish to borrow money from the man who is threatening your death?

He won't be hurt.
Viktor Sams does not harm innocent people.
Hm, so, it's all a ruse? No, Ms. Scott.
In, uh... 36 minutes... those bombs will be triggered.
This ship will sink.
And I can only offer nine seats.
So, again I ask,
are you here to place a bid?
What do you want?
- The going rate is one billion a seat. - No. You make money with blackmail.
You've been doing that for years.
The only reason to escalate to mass murder is to make a point, right?
See how they turn on each other, when the rich are put in danger.
But I'm not rich.
A lot of you are here because of mistakes you made.
You're a thief.
Your friend, Teddy, took bribes from guests on three continents.

You.

You tricked him. You tricked him. My dad's mind is fucked.

He knows. Everyone knows. What you are, it's evil.
The whole world given to you and what did you do? Nothing.
While the mass of men struggle in pain. - Fuck you, Toby.
So, what, you just let me die? - And not miss you.
I have people who depend on me. A son, a church, a community.
What do you have now that your money's gone?
This is a serious situation,
