[Leader] The dice have been rolled.
Lady luck favors the bold
and those willing to do whatever it takes.
We wish you the very best of luck.
I'll be keeping you updated on the events.
[dramatic music]
[meat sizzles]
[tense music]
Jacqueline, are you
still not eating meat?
Yes, mom, still no meat for me.
And your general health
is still good despite this?
Yes, I think so.
Four years and still no
protein deficiencies.
Jacqueline, this idea of yours,
it sounds like something
a college dropout would do
just to have something good
to put on their resume.
Dad, I already told you.
I don't care what it sounds like.
I want to do something good with my life.
Something good?
What, four years at Stanford wasn't good?
A guaranteed position at the
top brokerage firm in New York,
isn't that something good?
Dad, those are things
that are good for you.
I'm not gonna accomplish anything
going to college on your dime.
Yeah, many of my dimes.
Just so I can work somewhere
because my parents contribute to it.
I want something hands-on.
I wanna stop doing damage in this world
and start doing good.
I know that television will tell you
that we're supposed to encourage
these poorly thought-out ambitions,
but in real life I'd be
doing you a disservice
if I didn't at least encourage you
or try to encourage you
to go on the right path.
That's right, dear, take it from us.
We started out with nothing
and we ended up doing
very well for ourselves.
Look, I'm sorry to
hurt your sensibilities,
but the bottom line in life,
the cold, hard facts in life are this.
Either you are buying other people
or you're selling yourself,
that's just the bottom line,
and you want to give
yourself away for free.
With that mentality, this
world will eat you alive.
What's wrong with building
a nice life for yourself,
getting a good job and starting a family?
If you got started now, by
the time you're our age-
- By the time I'm your age,
I'll be sitting in my condo
realizing I've worked my life away
without having any real experiences
outside of buying and selling things.
Mom, I thought you'd at least understand.
Dear, we just want what's best for you.
What's best for me is to be happy.
Well, of course we want you to be happy,
but we also want you to be
successful and comfortable.
We don't want you to have to deal
with the day-to-day suffering
that people in lower
positions have to deal with.
Jacqueline.
You fail to understand the
world that we're living in.
This save the world phase is
just an early adult fantasy.
You must realize in life you'll only rise
as high as the circle that you keep.
So if you keep spending
days with your friend
as well as these other people
who can't provide for themselves
or these other lower drags of society
then you're only gonna
rise as high as they do.
And that's not the life
that we envisioned for you.
I wanna help people up,
not be dragged down by them.
I'm not sure I want to be successful
if it's at someone else's expense.
Yes, but it's the same thing.
Look, if you try to lift yourself up
and bring others with you,
of course that weight
is gonna slow you down
and hold you back.
They're not, look, you're
not climbing up the ladder
at their expense,
they're staying back down
because of their lack of expense.
That's so bleak.
Yeah, and it's so realistic.
Look, I didn't climb
to the top of Manhattan
by dragging every damn invalid
in the city up there with me.
Yeah, yeah, I know we have to empathize
and we have to feed them and
we have to keep them alive.
But that's all that they were entitled to
unless they're willing
to rise up to our level.
I couldn't disagree more.
And this notion you have about,
ooh, not wanting to do any
damage, it's ludicrous.
Look, don't you realize
in life it's impossible
to make any kind of a move
without hurting somebody?
So what are you gonna do?
You're just gonna stand
still and do nothing
because you don't want
to cause any damage?
No.
No.
You're gonna make your move.
And if they can't get
outta the way fast enough,
well then whatever happens to them
is just gonna be what anybody
else would do to them anyhow.
Dog eat dog.
It's our reality.
You have to do whatever it takes.
I'm not afraid of hard work.
But if my success is
dependent on hurting others
then I don't want to be successful.
It's not just your success,
it's your survival in this world.
That's a little dramatic.
Yeah, okay.
Yeah, I know, I hated to hear
it too and I was your age
but this is one of those situations
that you just won't be
able to fully comprehend
until you're older with
more life experience
under your belt.
Oh yeah, because I'm young
and you're the patriarch
so nothing I say is valid.
Jacqueline, if you're
going to be successful
you will ultimately come
to share in our worldview.
All that your father and
I are trying to offer you
is a shortcut to your
eventual destination,
to bypass all the suffering
and trial and error.
That's right.
This is your life and this is your choice
and you have to make it,
but I want you to know that
we both still love you 100%
and we will support you either way.
But wait, don't say anything,
I want to give you something first
before you make your decision.
Jacqueline, come here.
This is the choice we're offering you,
there are no strings attached.
Just something we
thought you'd find useful
on either road you choose to take.
What is this?
Keys, dear.
One is to a condo, a high-rise
condo, much like this one,
few blocks down, not as
high up but very nice.
And the other set is to a car,
nothing special but nice and reliable.
Now, you can take the house
key and you could stay here
and continue growing in New York,
you could get started on
your career and your family,
or you could take the car
key and be on your way.
Are these-
- We love you and support your decision.
There are no strings
attached with these gifts.
You stay and grow here or you
go and pursue your happiness.
We support your decision either way.
That's right.
You can stay and carry
on the family legacy
or you could go pursue happiness,
both with our blessings and love.
[phone rings]
[Anna] Hey, how'd it go?
[Jackie] Slightly better than expected.
[Anna] Slightly better?
So Mader and Peter didn't disown you?
Surprisingly, no.
They didn't even seem too mad.
[Anna] So not even when
you told them about us?
That didn't really come up.
[Anna] What?
Jackie, you said that you
were gonna finally tell them.
I knew I should have came with you.
I know, it's just it
was already so tense
and I was just fighting to keep them calm
with the idea of leaving their lifestyle
for what I really want to do with my life.
[Anna] But I'm part of what
you want to do with your life.
Of course.
I just couldn't add to the
tension anymore than I had to.
It's funny,
my dad thinks he has every
aspect of the world figured out
and he doesn't even know his
own daughter is a l*sbian.
[Anna] Well, he would
if you would tell him.
We've been together two years now.
I know, I know.
When this all settles,
I'll tell him, okay?
I promise.
[Anna] Okay, but I'm
gonna hold you to it.
Okay.
Hey, I do have good news though.
[Anna] You do?
What is it?
I got a new car.
[Anna] How'd you get that?
Well, my parents gave
me this big ultimatum
and when I stuck to my g*ns
they gave me a new car for the trip.
Nothing they'd be caught dead
in, but I really like it.
It's a little SUV.
[Anna] Oh cool.
What color?
White.
[Anna] White SUV?
Oh, I can't wait to drive in it.
Yeah, it's nice.
So how did leaving your place go?
[Anna] Oh, no problem at all.
"Mom, dad, I'm running off
with my rich girlfriend."
They were all about that.
So are you on the road yet?
[Anna] I'm all packed,
leaving in a few minutes.
So then I should see
you in about six hours,
or maybe a little more
if my GPS keeps taking me on
all these weird back roads.
[Anna] Well, tell your new car
to take you the fastest way possible
so I don't have to wait.
Aww, I don't want to wait either.
[Anna] Let me finish loading up the car
so I can drive 100 miles
per hour the whole way.
I can't wait to see you.
I can't wait either, babe.
I love you, see you soon.
[Anna] Love you too, bye.
[ominous music]
[tires screech]

[cart wheels clanking]
[Doctor 1] Slightly elevated vital signs
but given the circumstances,
I think that's normal.
[Doctor 2] Doesn't appear very serious.
Looks like the car safety features
really preserved her well.
Any trauma to the torso?
[Doctor 1] Just minor bruising.
[Doctor 2] Not a single bruise
or laceration on her face.
These vehicle safety features
are getting better and better.
There is a small contusion
on the back of her head,
still more room to get better then.
Barely a scratch on this one though.
Did we get the weight?
[Doctor 1] Yes, 136 pounds.
[Doctor 2] How much muscle mass?
[Doctor 1] 26% body fat.
[Doctor 2] Hmm, too much for the crates
but not much on the whole.
Draw more blood and have
her nutrients analyzed,
see how long she needs to be flushed.
Did the tox screen come back?
[Doctor 1] Yes, only
marijuana, nothing else.
[Doctor 2] That's all?
Pretty rare these days.
Do we have any more
coming in this evening?
[Doctor 1] This is the
only one that I'm aware of.
[Doctor 2] Alert the
higher ups to her status.
We'll see where this one ends up going.
[Leader] We got the
female on the highway.
No major damage or injuries.
She's on her way to the stall now.
[sinister music]
Hello?
Hello?
Is anyone there?
Hello?
[Kurt] Shh.
Who said that?
Who's there?
[Kurt] Keep it down or they'll hear you.
Who said that?
Where am I?
Somebody help.
[footsteps approaching]
Please, I was in a car accident.
My car got run off the road,
I was just going to see my girlfriend.
[Jackie crying]
I tried to warn you.
I don't know where we
are or why we're here.
I got here the same way you did.
There's someone else down here too
but she can't talk now either.
All I can tell you is that if you're loud,
they'll punish you, if you
don't eat, they'll punish you,
and if you don't do what
they say, they punish you.
[sinister music]
[knife clatters]
[water splashes]
[Jackie gasps]
[Jackie groaning]
[sinister music]
Please, my parents have a lot of money.
They would definitely,
f*ck you.
Listen, I don't know
who you think you are,
but I'm not eating that sh*t.
[Jackie gagging]
[sinister music]
[Jackie gagging]
[Jackie coughing]
[Kurt coughing]
Do not resist, do not say a word.

[footsteps thudding]
[handcuffs jangling]
[Jackie sobbing]
[handcuffs jangling]
[footsteps receding]
[Jackie coughing]
[ominous music]
Tastes like sh*t, don't it?
Yeah, we've all had it
that way at least once.
What is it?
I don't know, but they
say that we need it.
I'll tell you again, do what they say.
If you don't, they're
just going to hurt you
and force you to do it anyway.
Why?
What is this place?
I don't know.
We both woke up here just like you.
Don't bother asking the guys
to come down here either,
they'll just hurt you more for talking.
What's your name?
I'm Jackie.
My name's Kurt, this is Mallory.
So where'd they get you?
I was driving and my
car got run off the road.
I woke up in a hospital, then here.
[Mallory] That wasn't a hospital.
It's a room they use.
Some who've been down there
have been taken back to talk about it.
Like me.
Somebody attacked me
and I thought they were trying to k*ll me
but they just fixated on
my eye like they needed it
like a lunatic.
They took me to your hospital
and they cut off what was
left of it and patched me up.
I got a good look around
and I could tell with one
eye that wasn't a hospital.
[Jackie] What'd you see?
People, restraints,
nothing specific but I could
tell it wasn't a hospital.
It looked like they were holding
it up in some old building.
I think the man Mallory is talking about
was offered a deal to get out of here.
[Jackie] What kind of a deal?
What makes you think that?
I don't know.
After he attacked her,
he was taken out and never seen again.
That doesn't mean anything.
No, it's just an idea I had.
Did anyone mention anything
about a deal to you?
No one said anything to me.
Where were you driving?
[Jackie] Back roads in Delaware.
I was taken in Connecticut.
I was driving to New York.
We assume we are
likely on the East Coast.
Other than that, we don't know much.
Has any anyone ever escaped?
[Kurt] Not that we know of.
Has anyone told you anything?
Like what?
[Jackie] Like why we're
here or what they want?
Anything?
They tell us to eat,
they tell us to shut up,
and they tell us to go with them,
they don't talk to us
like we're actual people.
So what do we do?
Pray.
I mean, I try and ask people
questions about themselves
to figure out why they chose us
but I haven't figured out anything yet.
Chris has been down here the longest.
I don't know exactly how long,
but everybody that was
here when I arrived is gone
and many, many more have
come and gone since.
You don't know anything about this place
or why you're still here?
No.
I mean, I know I can hear
talking like it's above us
so we're probably in a
basement of some sort.
And I can smell things
like barbecue or steak.
And there's another
smell that I can't place
that is the absolute worst
odor that I have ever smelled.
That's it?
Keep your eyes closed while
the workers are down here,
it'll help keep your eyes
adjusted to the dark.
Also, they don't seem
to attack you as much
if you don't look at them.
So just keep my eyes shut
and do whatever they tell me?
There's gotta be more to it than that.
Well, if you figure it out, let us know.
In the meantime, if you
find something sharp
give it to me so I could
jam it in the guard's head.
[footsteps approaching]
Get your post and put
your hands behind it.
[Guard] So what's it gonna be?
[hand slaps]
[dark music]
[Kurt coughing]
[Kurt choking]
[dark music]
[Jackie sobbing]
Where are they taking her?
I don't know.
[Jackie sobbing]
I doubt she's coming back though.
You can usually tell by the guards
if they're coming back or not.
You can never be for sure though.
Just as soon as you think
you have the routine,
then they change it.
[Jackie sobbing]
Why did they chain you by your neck?
To punish me.
For what?
For not doing what they want.
[sinister music]
[slicer whirring]
[Leader] The maimed one has been removed
and is now being prepared.
The other two remain.
[sinister music]
So Jackie, tell me
something about yourself.
Like what?
I don't know, anything to
distract me from this chain.
You married?
No.
Me neither.
Your parents still alive?
Yeah.
Probably won't even
notice I'm missing though.
What are you, the middle child?
Only child.
We just weren't very close.
They had their view of
the world, I had mine.
They said, "Be successful
and start a family,"
and I wanted to do my own thing.
I got a similar story.
Dad wanted me to go one way,
I wanted to do my own thing too.
Anna.
She'll come looking for me.
She'll know something's wrong.
Who's Anna?
My girlfriend.
I was on my way to meet her.
We were gonna travel the country
and do volunteer work together.
She'll know something's
wrong when I don't show up,
she'll come looking for me.
Yeah, I hope she does.
She will.
I'm never late.
She'll come looking for me.
So what about you?
What's your story?
I was living with my mother,
raised me all by herself.
I was working here and there
but nothing I'd call a career.
Mom's health took a turn recently
and I had to focus on taking care of her.
Dad got word she was sick
and turned up at our house.
Hadn't even recognized him
except for seeing him on the news.
Some big time lawyer.
Did you two reconnect?
No, not even close.
He just critiqued everything about me.
Said I needed a job and
drive and all that sh*t.
He didn't even mentioned the fact
that I was taking care of
his wife that he abandoned.
He just pointed on everything
that was wrong with me.
He said he'd make a man outta me
but only if I'd put in the work.
He didn't even care that my mom was sick.
After that, I was
completely done with him.
Two days later, I was on my
way to the pharmacy for my mom,
I felt a prick in my neck
and then I woke up in this hell hole.
[Jackie] Is your mom okay?
I don't know.
That's what I keep wondering.
[Jackie] What did the
guard take off of you?
What?
[Jackie] Earlier, the guard
took something off of you.
What was it?
It was a knife.
[Jackie] For what?
I don't know.
The guard gave it to me after we arrived
and I was too afraid not to take it.
Why did he take it back?
Kurt, why did he take it back?
Kurt, what's in there behind the grate?
I don't know.
Somebody got brave once
and went through it.
We never saw him again
So they got out?
Maybe, or maybe he's still in there.
Guards beat the sh*t outta
the rest of us pretty bad
for it though.
Maybe we could go through it.
I can't fit.
Even if I could, I'm not
sure I'd want to go through.
Maybe I could go through there.
I could bring back help.
Yeah, maybe.
Some people who have been down here
think that we were sold into this.
Sold?
Yeah.
Either by somebody that they know
or just taken and then bought.
Sometimes I wonder if my mom sold me
so she could afford better care.
Why?
[footsteps approaching]
[sinister music]
[Jackie sobbing]
[Kurt sobbing]
[guard punching]
Two more females have
entered the equation.
All of the other details remain the same.
[Jackie sobbing]
Oh my God, that poor woman.
I have to get out of here.
I can't believe that just happened.
Kurt, we have to get out of here,
that's what's gonna happen to us.
Kurt, Kurt.
What the f*ck, where am I?
Hey.
What the f*ck?
Help.
Keep it down or they'll come back.
Who the f*ck are you?
[Jackie] Please be quiet.
I'm trying to warn you.
- Somebody-
- Keep your voice down.
Somebody unlock this f*cking chain.
Oh, my God.
Becka, Becka, Becka wake up.
Becka, wake up.
Keep it down, I'm warning you.
You're warning me?
f*ck you.
[Jackie] Please be
quiet, they're going to-
- Hey, hey.
Hey, you leave her alone.
Hey, I'm talking to you,
unlock these f*cking chains.
Hey.
Help.
Help.
[victim screaming]
[dark music]
[victim gagging]
[Doctor 2] What, the smell?
You get used to it.
[victim screaming]
[slicer whirring]
[slicer whirring]
[victim screaming]
[victim sobbing]
[sinister music]
[victim screaming]
[sinister music]
[Guard] So what's it gonna be?
[Kurt coughs]
Do you wanna live or do you wanna die?
What?
Ah.
[Guard] Do you wanna
live or do you wanna die?
Live.
[Guard] We'll see.
[foot thumps]
[Jackie screams]
[Kurt groaning]
f*ck.
Kurt, are you okay?
He broke my leg.
Oh, my God.
Maybe I can find something to use
for like a splint or a cast or something.
You need to go through there.
What?
You need to go through the hole.
Why?
Take your chances there.
I was chained by my neck
because I didn't attack you,
and now this because I
continue to not do as I'm told.
Why would you attack me?
After you arrived,
the guards told me to cut
off one of your limbs.
That's how I knew Mallory's
attackers got a deal.
After I didn't do that,
they told me to redeem myself
and I didn't do that either
so they chained me and then
they broke my f*cking leg.
They're going to keep hurting me, Jackie,
and I can't take anymore.
You need to go through there.
Take your chances there.
You said the last person that
went through never came out.
They didn't.
There's nothing better for you in here,
take your chances there.
They'll punish you if I go
They're gonna punish me anyway.
What if this is part of your plan?
What if this is part of your deal,
convince the new girl to
go through into a trap?
Then I'm really trying
to sell it, aren't I?
If they wanted you in there,
they would've stuffed you in there.
They never re-secured it
after the last person.
You need to go.
If I get through, I'll
come back with help.
I know you will.
Good luck.
[sinister music]
[Jackie panting]
[Jackie groaning]

[Leader] The female is in

[Jackie sobbing]
[eerie music]
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Oh, no.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
No.
No.
Please, please, please,
please, please, please, please.
No.
No.
[Jackie sobbing]
No.
[sinister music]
[Doctor 2] There he is, sir.
[Kurt's Father] You were
such a disappointment.
So are you, dad.
[Kurt's Father] Put
him out of his misery.
[slicer whirring]
[Kurt screaming]
[Jackie crying]
[sinister music]
[Jackie panting]
[Jackie groaning]
[sinister music]
It is not polite to keep
your host waiting now, is it?
However, welcome.
But Jacqueline, you can stop running.
You're not escaping from here.
The guard is just toying with you.
Simpleton, he's amused by
the most mundane things.
Why don't you come and join me?
If you prefer, I can snap my fingers
and have the guard break your
legs and drag you over to it.
When you crawled out of the basement,
you knew that Kurt would
be hurt as a result
but you went anyway.
I said that I would bring back help.
You told him that,
but you didn't mean it.
Then you proceeded to crawl through glass
and mud and sh*t with
no guarantee of escape.
I admire your drive.
These tables and chairs you see set here,
tonight they will be filled
with high-paying guests,
and they will be feasting
on what remains of Kurt.
[Jackie sobs]
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No.
Now don't get upset.
That's just how life works.
You've heard the saying,
it's a dog eat dog world.
Well, that had to come from somewhere.
What's going to happen now
is the guard is going to come in here
and he's going to bring
you back to where you were
and he's going to prepare you
for tomorrow night's high-paying guests,
that is if that's what you tell him to do.
I'm going to present you with two options.
Option one ends with you
scattered across 50 plates tomorrow night.
Option two ends with you leaving here
and going on to lead a very
rich and successful life
somewhere of your choosing.
They are your only two options.
Take her back.
[dark music]
Remember Jacqueline,
in this world it's k*ll or be k*lled.
Mom.
Mom, help me.
[dark music]
Anna, no.
No, not Anna, please.
Please, not Anna.
No.
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
[Jackie crying]
[sinister music]
[Jackie screaming]
[slicer whirring]
[Jackie sobbing]
[Guard] Choose.
[Anna crying]
[Jackie crying]
Choose.
[slicer whirring]
[Anna screaming]
[sinister music]
[Jackie sobbing]
[Jackie gags]
Excellent.
Well done.
I see much happiness and
success in your near future.
You shall see.
Clean her up and make
her more presentable.
I never make a promise I can't keep,
and I always keep my promises.
Congratulations.
