(Lazer groaning)
Aleric Auto, a manufacturer
of luxury electric vehicles,
has called for a press
conference later this afternoon.
Speculation abounds as to
just what the announcement
'might be, but with Aleric
stock trading at all-time high,
investors are hopeful for more good news
from the maverick
automaker, which just opened
its fifth factory in Shanghai,
and from founder and CEO Lazer Griffin.

(Lazer grunting)
What the f*ck?
Where the hell am I?
(door rattling)
Hello!
(banging on door)
Can anyone hear me?
(door rattling)
(Lazer breathing hard)
I have to get out of here.
(light buzzing)
Hello?
(light buzzing)
Is someone there?
Get me the f*ck out of here!
(drawers slamming)
(soft suspenseful music)
(drawers slamming)
(soft suspenseful music)
(foot banging)
I know somebody's there!
f*cking say something!
[Guardian] Hello, Lazer.
I need you to take a seat.
Who's there?
[Guardian] Please sit.
Where the hell am I?
[Guardian] I need you to take a seat.
I think I'll stand,
thanks. Who the f*ck are you?
[Guardian] Sit, Mr. Griffin.
What the hell is this all about?
[Guardian] I don't think
you're going to like the answer.
Sit.
(wheels rolling)
You are about to embark
on the most important
90 minutes of your life.
Everything you do, everything you say,
every move you make will
determine your fate.
You should also know
that here, in the box,
there are two ways out, an
easy way and a hard way.
What the f*ck is that supposed to mean?
[Guardian] I said, no
more stupid questions.
Look, as*h*le,
I just woke up in a random room,
handcuffed to a chair with
no idea how I got here.
You ask me, I'm asking some pretty good
f*cking questions right now.
[Guardian] Like I said,
an easy way and a hard way.
The easy way, a game of sorts.
Complete 12 simple tasks
in sequential order
before the allotted time
on the clock runs out.
(soft suspenseful music)
And the other way?
[Guardian] The other
way, that's the hard way.
What, are you gonna k*ll me?
Why are you doing this?
[Guardian] More questions.
Already not following directions.
Not a great start.
This is gonna get you.
Sean?
You dickhead.
You really had me going there, man.
This was good.
It's not as good as the
camel in your bathroom
on New Year's, but you got me (laughs).
All right, screw this.
Open the door, you d*ck.
Sean.
(door banging)
Open the door, Sean, come on.
Enough is enough, man. Come on.
(door banging)
[Guardian] I am not Sean.
Goddammit, Sean, open the goddam door!
Enough is enough!
[Guardian] I am not Sean.
Then who the hell are you?
(Lazer sighing)
You must know who I am.
And if you do,
then you gotta know my
people are coming for me.
They already know I'm missing.
They're coming for me.
They're gonna find me.
[Guardian] The game
will begin as soon as you
pick up the mug on your left.
(soft suspenseful music)
I'm excited for what we're
about to accomplish together.
f*ck you.
(Lazer groaning)
What the f*ck is this?
[Guardian] Each time you disobey me,
you'll receive a shock.
Now please, go to the light
table so we can begin.
We don't have all day.
(item banging)
(Lazer chuckling)
What lovely stationery you have.
(Lazer chuckling)
Wow.
What am I supposed to do with this?
[Guardian] Silly me, I forgot.
There's also a third way out of the box,
the easiest of easy ways.
Maybe lead with that next time.
I'll do it. Just tell me.
[Guardian] You would
need to write a confession.
Confession?
[Guardian] An admission
of guilt. It's very simple.
And this can all be over.
I have nothing to confess.
I've done nothing but push
science and technology forward.
I've created countless jobs.
You don't have sh*t on me.
I do know what you really want, though.
And it's not some bullshit confession.
You want money.
And money, I can give you.
See,
believe it or not,
we actually have a set-aside
for this kind of thing.
So go ahead, give me a number.
[Guardian] Very well, you've
made your choice. Now begin.
Are you f*cking deaf?
I said give me a number.
We can all go home,
forget this ever happened.
[Guardian] This isn't about money.
Come on.
It's always about money.
[Guardian] If I were you,
I would stop right now.
You're wasting time.
(Lazer sighing)
I can't believe I'm doing this.
Where do we start?
[Guardian] At the beginning. Number one.
(soft suspenseful music)
What?
I'm not drinking this sh*t.
It's alcohol.
I don't drink, and I certainly
don't drink rancid sh*t.
[Guardian] You're an alcoholic.
I was.
[Guardian] So what changed in you?
I conquered it.
[Guardian] How long have you been sober?
10 years.
[Guardian] Are you sure about that?
Christmas 2012.
[Guardian] You're lying.
(Lazer groaning)
(Lazer moaning)
Fine.
There's been times, a few
times, when I slipped.
[Guardian] That's what I thought.
But I'm sober now.
And I wanna stay that way.
[Guardian] Drink.
No f*cking way (groans)!
[Guardian] Don't try my patience.
Each time you disobey me,
the shock will become more painful.
You must complete the task.
Fine.
[Guardian] Thank you.
(Lazer breathing hard)
(soft suspenseful music)
Drink.
(Lazer shouting)
(mug banging)
(Lazer groaning)
(Lazer retching)
(Lazer breathing hard)
What did you put in that drink?
Is that what this is gonna
be, a bunch of childish games?
You're pathetic.
[Guardian] On to the
next one. Task Number Two.
(Lazer groaning)
(soft suspenseful music)
(items rattling)
(soft suspenseful music)
If you want me to keep playing along,
you're gonna have to be a
little less f*cking cryptic!
Cut your time.
You know what? I'm good.
I think I'm just gonna wait
for my people to find me.
(chair sliding)
[Guardian] I was hoping you'd say that.
(heater whirring)
(chair sliding)
What?
You're going to sweat me out?
[Guardian] The human body
will start to exhibit signs
of heatstroke once it reaches
an internal temperature
of 106 degrees Fahrenheit.
Great, biology 101.
[Guardian] The heat's
set to a balmy 130 degrees.
Without water or ventilation,
the body will begin
to fail in as little as 90 minutes.
It will become lethal in
as little as two hours.
Yeah, well I did Paris to Dakar.
It was 130 for almost a week.
[Guardian] If you cooperate,
we will discuss turning
the heat down before you actually die.
You're insane.
I'm not the person to f*ck with.
[Guardian] Neither am I.
(heat whirring)
Okay, if you want me to keep going,
you're gonna have to turn the heat off.
I don't do heat well.
[Guardian] Paris to Dakar?
f*ck you.
(clock ticking)
Cut for time.
Cut for time. What's next?
(Lazer groaning)
What now?
[Guardian] Complete the tasks in order.
I just did.
[Guardian] Insufficient.
Cut for time!
You son of a b*tch!
(bulb smashing)
You want me to cut myself? Is that it?
(Lazer breathing hard)
Dammit, I can't!
[Guardian] I'm not going to
hold your hand through this.
(Lazer breathing hard)
I can't.
[Guardian] You will.
You endlessly inflict pain on others.
Now, you will inflict it on yourself.
Show me blood.
(flesh tearing)
I said, show me blood.
(Lazer grunting)
More.
(Lazer groaning)
(soft suspenseful music)
I'm here to help you today.
I'm here to show you how much of a lowlife
sack of sh*t you really are.
You're doing to yourself what
you've done to your workers.
You have a long track record
of treating people poorly,
the same people who made you very rich.
What are you talking about?
[Guardian] Does the name Eddie
Ramos mean anything to you?
Of course it doesn't.
But it will.
In a tragic accident earlier today,
a local man, Eddie
Ramos, had his right arm
partially amputated when
the arm became trapped
in an assembly line press.
An Aleric Auto spokesperson
says a full investigation
is underway, and their
thoughts and prayers
are with Mr. Ramos and his family.
[Guardian] Now do you
remember Eddie Ramos?
No.
[Guardian] So then you
know, your attorneys fought
Mr. Ramos tooth and nail.
It's called loss mitigation.
Standard business procedure.
[Guardian] You think losing
an arm is standard procedure?
Answer me!
Accidents happen.
[Guardian] Yes they do.
Especially in your factories.
Do you know how many
workers have been injured
in your plants within the last year?
No, I don't have those numbers on me.
[Guardian] Over 1,200
on-the-job injury claims
have been filed.
You've paid out on less than 10% of those.
But this isn't just about money.
It's about the human toll,
the enduring pain that you cause.
Do you know what finally
happened to Mr. Ramos?
My guess, we settled.
In a tragic ending to a tragic story,
Eddie Ramos, former
employee of Aleric Auto,
set fire to his home today
in an apparent suicide.
This only days after Ramos
lost his final court appeal
for just compensation for
injuries sustained on the job.
I had nothing to do with that.
[Guardian] Of course you'd say that.
Dig deeper, for Mr. Ramos.
I'm not cutting my arm off.
I remember now.
I know who you are.
That b*tch Sarah Keller,
the lead Aleric in-house
legal in that case.
[Guardian] I thought your people handled
the Ramos case to your satisfaction.
They did.
But you wanted me to pay that as*h*le.
His whole claim, because
you were too ignorant
to be able to actually
do your f*cking job.
[Guardian] What do you
think just compensation
would be for the loss of an arm?
I'm so glad I fired your a*s.
And so you know, I made
sure that everyone knew
what a shitty lawyer you actually were.
[Guardian] You've never
respected women, have you, Lazer?
But let's put a pin in that
for now. No pun intended.
Please, continue with the next task.
By the way, I am definitely
not Sarah Keller.
(drawer banging)
This is f*cking unreal.
[Guardian] Just wait. It gets better.
Are you enjoying this?
I may not know who you are,
but I know your type.
You think you've outsmarted the 1%.
So you kidnap me.
Only you're too chickenshit to
even show your f*cking face.
Just know that I find pure joy
knowing that you will never be like me.
Like I said, you f*cking psychopath,
my friends are coming for me any minute.
And when they do,
you're dead.
(Guardian laughing) It would
save you a lotta trouble
if you just opened that f*cking door.
[Guardian] I just
find it all very amusing
that you believe your life is so valuable,
so important, that I
should just let you go.
It's true.
[Guardian] I know that's what you think,
but I beg to differ.
Quite the feeling, isn't it?
How the power dynamic has shifted.
Now you're the one that has to
live in uncertainty, in fear,
not knowing what's gonna happen next,
to you or your important
and valuable life.
Can you repeat that?
Only this time in f*cking English please.
[Guardian] I'm talking about you.
I'm talking about your pathetic,
drunken, entitled displays
of self-righteous grandiosity.
That's why I gave up
drinking, until recently.
[Guardian] We've moved
on from that addiction.
That was just for openers.
To other problems, so to speak.
I'm talking about other
addictions of yours.
You think you are untouchable.
Over your whole privileged
life, you have been.
But not anymore.
That ended today.
I get it now.
You're that one of the
ecoterrorist group, aren't you?
Black Spring, right?
You f*cking morons.
I'm trying to save the
world with my company.
And you small-minded,
myopic idiots have no clue
what it takes to actually
make the world spin!
[Guardian] I touched a nerve.
Of course you would accuse
me of being something I'm not
if it made you feel better about yourself.
You're incapable of
feeling guilt, or shame.
Or anything, really.
You don't know me.
[Guardian] Of course I do.
I know you've used your
power one too many times
to get yourself out of trouble.
And you've never once
felt any sort of remorse
for any of those things you did.
(fist banging)
Why don't we let that simmer for a while.
Don't worry.
I'll be back to check
up on you at some point,
if you're lucky.
So I was an as*h*le!
f*cking sue me!
(Lazer breathing hard)
Is that what this is all about?
That's the big confession
you wanted out of me?
None of that warrants being tormented
in a prison by a f*cking psychopath.
Fine, you wanna-be jigsaw.
I'll just wait you out.
(body banging)
(soft suspenseful music)
(body thudding)
(soft suspenseful music)
Hey, buddy.
You wouldn't happen to have anything
to eat in here, would you?
Like a cheeseburger.
A bag of chips or something.
(soft suspenseful music)
(Lazer breathing hard)
(soft suspenseful music)
m*therf*cker!
Let me the f*ck outta here!
(chair clattering)
(Lazer screaming)
(dramatic music)
(items smashing)
(dramatic music)
(items smashing)
(fist pounding)
Let me out, m*therf*cker!
Let me outta here! Let me outta here!
(dramatic music)
(metal clanging)
(dramatic music)
We here at Aleric Auto are more
than just an automobile manufacturer.
We're a personal transportation company.
This means our consumers come first.
The most important thing that we can do
is ensure their safety.
And that's why our engineers
go above and beyond
the recommended NHTSA standards.
[Guardian] Well that's a
load of shot now, isn't it?
What would you know about cars?
[Guardian] More than you think I do.
Let's get to the next task.
I believe we're on Number Three.
f*ck you (groans)!
(Lazer breathing hard)
[Guardian] Try not to lose your cool.
That's impossible with this heat.
[Guardian] Just a taste
of what you'll feel in hell.
Speak no evil.
[Guardian] For years your
mouth has allowed Aleric Auto
to flourish based on
the lies you perpetuate.
Everything I said in that ad is true.
[Guardian] I think it
is time to shut you up.
I dare you to prove otherwise.
[Guardian] Steering damper bracket?
What are you talking about?
[Guardian] Oh, come on. Don't make me.
It was a 45-cent part.
You designed it to save
an extra five cents.
That wasn't me.
That was an engineering decision.
[Guardian] As CEO, you
ultimately bear the responsibility.
Every decision rests with you.
How many Aleric owners
died for five cents?
Only three people
know about that bracket.
[Guardian] I guess now
there's four who know.
Soon, the whole world will know.
But for now, on to Task Three.
I can't.
This is insane.
You're insane!
[Guardian] Play by the rules.
I can't, no. f*ck, no.
[Guardian] Of course you can.
You're Lazer Griffin,
important man, valuable man.
Where's that can-do spirit?
Speak no evil.
Come on, you can't
seriously be asking me to...
You expect me to...
[Guardian] Put the
stapler up to your mouth.
No, I can't. I can't, no.
Please.
[Guardian] This is the easy way, Lazer.
You don't want the hard way.
Push both of your lips
through the opening.
Pull the trigger.
(stapler banging)
(dramatic music)
Again.
Do it again.
(dramatic music)
(stapler banging)
Again.
(stapler banging twice)
(Lazer grunting)
(Lazer breathing hard)
On to the next task. Task Number Four.
(soft suspenseful music)
(Lazer groaning)
(soft suspenseful music)
(Lazer moaning)
What's that?
I can't quite hear you.
You need to speak up.
(soft suspenseful music)
(Lazer groaning)
I know. It'll sting a little bit.
(Lazer crying)
But salt has exceptional medicinal value.
(Lazer breathing hard)
You know, you really need to
get some of the inside as well.
That's where a nasty
infection can take hold.
Do it. Now!
(Lazer whimpering)
(Lazer screaming)
(soft suspenseful music)
(Lazer breathing hard)
Please, I'm begging you.
[Guardian] Just get it over with, Lazer.
(Lazer breathing hard)
(Lazer groaning)
(foot stamping)
Now, that wasn't so bad, was it?
You b*stard!
(Lazer breathing hard)
(jar smashing)
Goddammit!
[Guardian] It's such a shame I went
with a jar of salt water.
Oops, did I say salt water? I meant acid.
Help me! Help!
Let me outta here!
(Lazer breathing hard)
[Guardian] Time just flies
when you're having fun.
(clock ticking)
(Lazer breathing)
Lazer,
get up.
No more.
[Guardian] I know it's been rough.
Number Five might put a little
bark back into your bite.
You'd at least tell me who you were
if you weren't such a f*cking coward.
[Guardian] And what
would be the fun in that?
Besides, you might not like the answer.
(feet sliding)
With all this heat, you must be thirsty.
(soft suspenseful music)
f*ck off.
[Guardian] Not to mention
that salty snack you just had.
There's no alcohol in this one.
Honestly, I really shouldn't have had
you drink the one before.
That was wrong of me to make a recovering
alcoholic drink again.
You smug as*h*le.
[Guardian] Now drink.
(Lazer gulping)
Don't you see how easy all this could be?
Just apologize. Just
admit when you're wrong.
(soft suspenseful music)
(mug clattering)
(Lazer coughing)
No.
(dog wailing twice)
(dog wailing)
What did you?
(dog wailing)
How did you get this?
(dog wailing)
Did you k*ll my dog?
Answer me.
[Guardian] Of course
I didn't k*ll your dog.
How could I?
I find it very interesting
that you care about your dog
more than any other person in the world.
More than your friends.
Stop.
[Guardian] Your colleagues.
More than your daughter.
Shut up!
(chair banging)
(foot stamping)
(Lazer breathing hard)
(door rattling)
(lock jiggling)
(Lazer breathing hard)
No.
No, no, no.
(Lazer breathing hard)
(body thudding)
(soft suspenseful music)
Hello.
(soft suspenseful music)
It's about f*cking time.
Get me out of this.
(handcuffs jingling)
f*ck me, not again.
(soft suspenseful music)
Who are you? I know you're not that voice.
That f*cking voice.
I can tell you're different.
You're good.
There's been some kinda mistake.
This guy thinks I did something I didn't.
He's f*cking torturing me.
You gotta get me outta here.
(Lazer breathing hard)
He probably did the
same to you, didn't he?
We can help each other.
We can,
we can get each other out.
(Lazer breathing hard)
No, no, you can't leave me. Come on.
Do you know who I am?
I'm Lazer Griffin.
I can get you a lotta money
if you get me out of here.
Yes, yes, get me out. Thank you.
(fist smacking)
Who the hell was in here?
[Guardian] There was someone in there?
Cut the sh*t.
[Guardian] Oh, I guess
you were awake after all.
Who was it?
[Guardian] My associate.
So there is a way out of here.
[Guardian] Lazer, silly man.
I've already told you there
are no ways out of here.
It's okay. Take your drink.
Fool me once and all that sh*t.
[Guardian] You need it.
I'm not ready to lose you.
Not just yet.
(Lazer slurping)
See? You can trust me.
So trust me when I say this.
No one is coming for you.
Someone will.
[Guardian] Lazer, you're
embarrassing yourself.
Just let me out of here.
[Guardian] Soon enough.
But for now, how about a
little walk down Memory Lane?
[Marlee] Lazer?
Marlee.
[Lazer] Marlee.
[Marlee] I don't wanna have to ask you.
[Lazer] Then don't.
[Marlee] What you've been sending us
is just not enough anymore.
[Lazer] You should really
read our divorce decree.
Page Seven, Paragraph Three.
[Marlee] Don't be like this.
We're going to lose the house.
[Lazer] That's not my problem.
Get whoever you're f*cking
this week to help you.
[Marlee] I am not seeing
anyone, Lazer. You know that.
[Lazer] I said f*cking, not seeing.
[Marlee] I don't wanna go back to court.
[Lazer] Hey, if you
think you have the chops
to get back in the ring
with me, go right ahead.
[Marlee] This isn't just for me, Lazer.
It's for our child.
Why are you doing this?
You're a very wealthy man.
[Lazer] Because I can.
[Guardian] Quite the man
you are. Proud of yourself?
How did you get that?
[Guardian] Very easily.
Well you can't be my ex-wife.
She's not smart enough to put all this on.
How much did you pay her for it?
[Guardian] Not one cent.
(Lazer sniffing)
It's awfully convenient
that you used the part
that makes me look like an as*h*le,
and not the years of hell
she put me through with the divorce.
[Guardian] So you did nothing wrong?
I'm sure I did.
But so did she.
[Guardian] Ever think about
rising above the occasion.
Now you do sound like her.
[Guardian] Never mind.
I knew the answer to that was no,
and that's why you're here.
Back to your ex-wife.
What about her?
[Guardian] Would you
say your treatment of her
is exemplary of how you
treat women in general?
I treat people how they
deserve to be treated.
[Guardian] Let's see about that.
Sean.
[Guardian] Your CFO. Your
indispensable Number Two.
What does he have to
do with any of this?
[Guardian] You have a
press conference today.
Yeah.
We're opening the new
plants in Youngstown.
Creating 2,000 jobs in the Rust Belt.
[Guardian] How wonderful.
Except, what if that's not
what your press conference
is going to be about now?
Would you just spit it out?
What are you talking about?
[Guardian] What if
the letter that your CFO
Sean is reading right now
is a letter that I sent him?
A letter about your very bad behavior.
Bad behavior?
[Guardian] Toward women.
I don't know what you're talking about.
[Guardian] Like your ex-wife.
You find women disposable.
You treat them like things.
Like objects, instead of people.
I'd like you to confess this.
We've been over this. I
have nothing to confess.
[Guardian] I'm sure.
Whatever lies you put in that letter,
Sean'll never betray me.
[Guardian] Betray you? I
thought you'd done nothing wrong.
Confession time, Lazer.
You think one letter can turn
our press conference into an expose?
[Guardian] Bingo.
And I don't need to lie, Lazer.
You abuse people, women in particular.
Will you f*ck off with that MeToo sh*t?
I never abused anyone.
[Guardian] We seem to
have very different ideas
of what it means to abuse.
You're awful judgy, Mr. Perfect.
[Guardian] The thing about men like you,
you actually believe your bullshit.
In your mind, you've
never been the monster
in someone's nightmares.
You've always been the guy
everyone wants to be around.
I can't f*cking breathe. It's too hot.
[Guardian] Can't take the heat, Lazer?
Just let me out of here.
[Guardian] Six.
(Lazer moaning)
I said six.
I f*cking heard you.
(electricity buzzing)
[Guardian] I said six.
(Lazer groaning)
Time's ticking.
This is ridiculous.
[Guardian] You're pathetic.
I thought you were supposed
to be an intelligent man.
You're worthless. Go check the desk.
(items shuffling)
I can't f*cking find it.
(items shuffling)
[Guardian] Congratulations.
Confession time.
What do you want me to confess?
What do you want me to confess?
I'll admit anything you want.
Just tell me.
Every time I
f*cked over someone at
work or yelled at my wife.
Whatever the f*ck Sean
just read, I'll admit it.
I did it, I confess, okay,
I did it. I f*cking did it.
[Guardian] I can't tell
you what to confess, Lazer.
Otherwise, it's not a confession.
But I'll give you a hint.
Sean is probably calling
the police right now,
and they will be at your house
if you live through this,
unless you confess.
I can stop Sean. It's your only way out.
Are you f*cking with me?
[Guardian] No.
So if I just confess, you'll let me go?
[Guardian] Something like that.
And Sean won't know?
(soft suspenseful music)
[Guardian] Now sign it.
In blood.
See no evil.
(soft suspenseful music)
No. f*ck you, that's too far.
(Lazer groaning)
[Guardian] You will do it.
(Lazer shouting and groaning)
Just give me a minute!
Give me a f*cking minute!
(soft suspenseful music)
(Lazer screaming)
(dramatic music)
(Lazer groaning)
[Guardian] Read it to me.
(soft music)
I'm a sick man.
I have abused my power
with a woman at work
who knew too much.
I just wanted to scare
her to keep her quiet.
It went too far. And
something happened to her.
(soft music)
[Guardian] I must admit,
not what I was expecting,
but I'm not surprised you
have other secrets to confess.
You're a monster.
Call Sean. Call off
the press conference.
I just played your game. I
wrote your f*cking confession!
At least turn the f*cking hot air off!
(air conditioning whirring)
[Guardian] That cold air must feel
pretty good for you right now.
Enjoy it while you can.
I'm gonna need more details
on your new confession.
Otherwise, it's worthless.
(clock ticking)
And you're missing that hot
air right now. Such a shame.
If you had half a conscience,
you'd realize the world would
be a better place without you.
Do you ever think about that, sometimes?
In those moments when you're
exposed and vulnerable?
Wouldn't things just be better
if you ended it all, huh?
You should end it, right now.
Right here.
All the people you've
hurt and screwed over,
they would feel so much
better, so much safer.
Don't you think?
No.
I'm getting out of here.
And the first thing I'm
gonna do is find you.
And then six is going
through your f*cking skull.
[Guardian] Is that your plan?
You better find seven.
f*ck seven.
(drawers sliding)
(doors banging)
(paper tearing)
Hey!
What do you want me to do with this?
What, you got no long-winded monologue
to go along with this one?
Beware of hepatitis B, C,
something like that? No, okay.
Well.
There, I stabbed myself
and you didn't even ask.
Where's eight?
[Guardian] Not quite.
What? Wasn't it hard enough for you?
Do you want me to stab out my other eye?
[Guardian] Do you remember the 2012.
Aleric Auto New Year's Eve party?
All your buddies were there.
Holy sh*t.
You work for Aleric Auto.
f*ck me twice.
We're finally getting somewhere.
[Guardian] 2012 was a
great year for Aleric.
The launch of the new roadster
k*lled all the sales projections.
Music was bumping. Caviar.
Champagne flowed.
If I remember correctly,
you had a glass or two.
That was the last time I drank.
[Guardian] You mean the last time
you told people you drank.
Yes, we were over that already.
[Guardian] Do you
remember a beautiful woman
in a red dress?
No.
[Guardian] Let me refresh your memory.
(guests chattering)
Hi.
[Guardian] You couldn't
take your eyes off her.
A new hire, straight out
of Wharton that summer.
You wasted no time going after her.
You made sure she knew who you were,
what you could do for her.
Remember her name now?
Eliza.
[Guardian] Eliza what?
Eliza Beckett.
(soft suspenseful music)
[Guardian] What did
she tell you that night?
It was funny actually.
She said that one day she
was going to take my job.
[Guardian] And what did you say to her?
I said a woman could never do my job.
[Guardian] Interesting.
I was joking.
We were flirting.
[Guardian] You call it flirting, sure.
But as I recall, that escalated quickly.
She knew I was CEO of Aleric.
We both knew what she was doing.
And I'm sure at the time
I said something that
would have got me canceled
today, but it was different then.
[Guardian] So you think
it was just something
that you may have said to her?
I don't know. Yes.
[Guardian] f*cking liar.
I'll never talk to a
girl like that again.
I told you that.
[Guardian] This isn't about words.
This isn't about thoughts.
This is about actions,
deeds. Violent deeds.
Violent deeds? You think
I hit her or something?
[Guardian] Hitting
someone is not the only way
to inflict violence, you know that.
You're gonna use the needle and ink
to tattoo something on your arm.
You're going to mark yourself, a word.
Think of it as a scarlet letter.
This way, you will never
forget what you are,
and no one else will either.
And what am I exactly?
[Guardian] You're
going to tattoo the word
r*pist on your arm.
Is that what she told you?
Eliza told you I r*ped her?
Are you Eliza?
[Guardian] I am not.
What we did was consensual.
Yes, there was a power dynamic at play,
but she f*cking wanted it.
Women love that sh*t,
whether they admit it or not.
[Guardian] This tattoo
will serve as a warning
for anyone you meet in the future.
No, I'm not gonna f*cking do
that, okay. Shut the f*ck up!
You're crazy.
Listen to me.
[Guardian] No.
Listen!
Okay.
Just talk to Eliza. I was drunk.
I didn't r*pe her, okay.
If I did anything wrong, I'm sorry,
but that was a decade ago.
[Guardian] The clock is ticking.
(electricity buzzing)
(soft suspenseful music)
(music intensifying)
[Guardian] Press harder.
(suspenseful music)
(metal clattering)
(suspenseful music)
(metal clattering)
(soft suspenseful music)
There we are, marked,
for all the world to see.
This really brightened my day.
By the way, about that needle.
(soft suspenseful music)
Don't worry. I'm sure
that needle was just fine.
I just wanna go home.
You turned it off.
[Guardian] If we're
going to continue playing,
you'll need your strength.
If you liked seven, you're
absolutely going to love eight.
(Lazer screaming)
(Lazer groaning)
(item thudding)
I'm done.
(Lazer breathing)
There's nothing left
you can do to hurt me.
[Guardian] Come on,
Lazer. Don't be like that.
I'm already dead.
[Guardian] You know what?
I'm gonna go easy on you.
Let you rest.
Movie time.
(people chattering)
(pulsing music)
(people chattering)
Actually, I think I'm
gonna go to the bathroom.
All right.
- I'll be right here.
- Okay.
Actually, I think I need
to go to the bathroom.
What?
I'm sorry, I don't...
Stop!
She is so f*cking hot!
[Group] Five, four, three, two,
one, happy new year!
That's not how that happened.
(soft suspenseful music)
Sean would have never given that to you.
(soft suspenseful music)
It was consensual.
She wanted it.
[Guardian] No means f*cking no.
You took her sense of self,
her place in the world.
For what? So you can get
off, cheat on your wife?
Show everyone what a big man you are?
That's not how I remember it.
(soft suspenseful music)
[Guardian] Oh no no no. It's all real.
I didn't have to do a thing.
You deep fixed that, didn't you?
That's not real.
[Guardian] Moving on
to task Number Nine.
(soft suspenseful music)
It's true.
(head banging)
(soft suspenseful music)
I'll do anything.
[Guardian] Write another
confession. A real one.
(soft suspenseful music)
This one will be signed in ink.
For real.
(soft suspenseful music)
Go ahead.
Go ahead.
(soft suspenseful music)
(paper rattling)
(soft suspenseful music)
(pen scribbling)
(suspenseful music)
I'm so sorry, Ruby.
It's over.
[Guardian] Not quite.
I confessed.
Easiest of easy ways,
remember? We're done.
[Guardian] That was
before Ruby came to light.
Watch.
Is there anything you'd like to say
to the people listening?
Please, if there is any
information about Ruby,
anything at all, I just
wanna see my baby girl again.
I wanna hug her, tell
her how much I love her.
I want to feel her (cries).
You don't know what this is like.
[Guardian] I must admit,
you caught me off guard
with your confession.
Nothing was supposed to happen to her.
She was snooping around
where she didn't belong.
They were only supposed to scare her.
[Guardian] You did more
than that, didn't you?
I swear nothing was supposed to happen.
[Guardian] What could she
possibly have stumbled upon?
Maybe it was about the $5
savings on the bracket,
the price you decided to
put on other people's lives.
f*cking ignorant!
[Guardian] That's a nice way to put it.
You're no f*cking saint.
[Guardian] I'm only
doling out justice to a man
guilty of his own heinous acts.
I've already confessed, okay.
So make sure that gets to the press.
I deserve to go to jail,
but I don't deserve this!
Nobody does!
[Guardian] You deserve to rot.
Look what wealth and
money have done to you.
Money doesn't change people.
It only amplifies what's already there.
I gave you my confession.
If you're not gonna let me go,
then I'm just gonna have
to f*cking beat you.
(soft suspenseful music)
So give me f*cking nine.
Now!
[Guardian] That's the
spirit. Check under the desk.
This one should be fun.
(suspenseful music)
Hear no evil.
f*ck.
(suspenseful music)
[Guardian] The clock is ticking.
(suspenseful music)
(tool whirring)
No, I can't.
[Guardian] You must.
(suspenseful music)
Your current wife is very beautiful.
(dramatic music)
Becky.
(dramatic music)
How did you get this?
(dramatic music)
Don't do this.
Please.
She has nothing to do with this.
(dramatic music)
(Becky screaming)
No!
f*ck you!
(drill whirring)
(dramatic music)
[Guardian] Ready to
move on to task Number 10?
Yes!
[Guardian] Find the key
and set yourself free.
(dramatic music)
(Lazer screaming)
f*ck!
(dramatic music)
(box crashing)
After all this, you just
want me to hang myself.
[Guardian] Don't you recognize it.
Oh, that's right.
Knowing you, you've probably
never even been there.
Amy.
[Guardian] She's beautiful, Lazer.
When's the last time
you even talked to her?
It's been years.
[Guardian] She grew up fatherless.
But look, she turned out just fine.
Don't touch her.
[Guardian] I won't,
as long as you continue
to follow my instructions.
I'm pretty sure you paid for that nice
house in the hills, right?
Oh please, Lazer.
Like you give two shits
about being a parent.
Your arrogant narcissism, like
everything else in your life,
is just an extension of you in your eyes.
She'll never been her own person.
That's not true. She's amazing.
She's the best thing
that's ever happened to me.
[Guardian] Really? How
many birthdays did you miss?
How many recitals, school plays?
All the cliches.
My life's been consumed with work.
[Guardian] That's all
you've ever cared about.
I'll make this simple for you.
If you don't finish the rest of the tasks,
I'll send a friend over to
your precious daughter's place
to take care of her, just
like you took care of Ruby.
It's not that I want to,
but honestly, you leave me no choice.
You're so close.
The rope is attached to
a time-triggered wire
that will unlock Box 12 after 30 seconds.
This is your way out.
Box 12.
[Guardian] You'll hang for 30 seconds.
You'll think about all you've done.
Then, if you can, you'll
grab a knife from Box 12.
And what if I miss it?
[Guardian] Don't.
This is f*cked.
[Guardian] The clock is ticking. Do it.
(soft suspenseful music)
(suspenseful music)
(chair banging)
(Lazer gasping)
(Lazer gasping)
(soft suspenseful music)
(Lazer gasping)
(box banging)
(body thudding)
(Lazer coughing)
I'm done.
90 minutes,
12 tasks.
And I'm as bad as you say I am.
If you do even let me out of here,
they'll just throw me in a cell anyway.
As they should.
(soft piano music)
You reminded me that there's one person
left in my life that I truly love.
(soft piano music)
My Amy.
My little girl.
(soft piano music)
If this news gets out,
her life is over.
She will forever be known
as her
father's daughter.
(soft piano music)
As the monster's child.
(upbeat piano music)
She deserves so much more than that.
She deserves so much better than that.
I'm sorry, Amy.
I'm sorry.
(body thudding)
(door opening)
The much anticipated Aleric Auto presser
for this afternoon has been postponed.
It's been reported that CEO Lazer Griffin
is delayed on his return trip from Shang...
Amy?
Is that you?
I made your favorite, veggie burgers.
(door closing)
(Marlee sighing)
(water running)
(Amy sniffing)
(soft piano music)
I see grief without the box
Darkened cloud, unveil the storm
Feel the sound, all cry around
Cover up, mask all the flesh
And hide
(soft piano and violin music)
Running out the door can save me
I can't escape this box
Don't weep for me
Don't even
I see grief without the box
Darkened cloud, unveil the storm
Feel the sound, all cry around
Cover up, mask all the flesh
And hide
I see grief without the box
Darkened cloud, unveil the storm
Feel the sound, all cry around
Cover up, mask all the flesh
And hide
Oh oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Running out the door can save me
Can't escape this box, deliver me
I see grief without the box
Darkened cloud, unveil the storm
Feel that sound, all cry around
Cover up, mask all the flesh
And hide
