(Gentle Piano Music)
(A window smashes from another room)
(Dogs bark as footfalls fade to silence)
(Creepy Music)
Loud firecracker explosion.
(JJ gasps awake)
(She hears traffic noise outside louder than she should)
(Gentle Piano Music)
(Door closes)
Marnie: No, JJ, I need to get ready.
JJ: I'm just having a shower. Yeah, but you take forever.
Not compared to you!
(Father off scene) Marnie. Let Jasmine go first.
It's J.J., not Jasmine.
It's J.J.
It's fine. Come on. Go first.
Thank you.
You are such a little shit.
At least I don't stink! I don't stink!!!
Marnie, can you help your sister with the hair?
It's not even.
Yes it is.
And you really need to be doing
much better with your grades, Marnie
we didn't send you to such a good
school for you to fail like you are.
Hey no! I did it myself. They're fine.
Debatable.
Are you doing a sarcastic face, serious
face, or just your plain ugly face, as usual?
And is the school okay with your makeup like that?
I thought you'd grown out of it.
She's just such a disappointment.
Come on J.J. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to run us late.
You never do.
That's fine.
Hurry up. We have to sign in at the office.
(School kids chatting)
Will you let me know where the doors are?
Is that the girl you like? Is that her?
She seems nice. She is.
I think... I think.
What's she like? What's she into? What does she do?
She plays this online game.
It's called Backlash.
The super hyper realistic one that
doesn't use proper infiltration tactics.
It's pretty frickin real for us.
We can't all be big, tough army guys like you. Can we?
No, but you can dream.
Give me a hug!
Love you buddy, you look after yourself, you're a good kid.
Just talk to her, be yourself and
maybe they'll let you join in the game.
Okay. Okay.
Aye, Aye, Captain,
Really? Yeah. Really?
You didn't think it through did you?
You're late!
Quick.
I'm coming.
Is it 23 or 24?
I think 23.
Stairs.
Come on.
What do you want me to do Marnie?
I know that you can go faster.
Look who's coming...
(Indistinct) She just does it for attention.
(Indistinct) Bet she's not even blind.
(JJ clearer hearing) She looks like a pet
following her sister around. Like a dog.
(Kids laugh)
You should do that thing.
(Kids laugh)
Don't be a killjoy.
Aly: Nice Flower Bec: Sam gave it to me.
Will: Another door?
Ha, ha. Very funny.
Seriously, if you ever need to talk.
There's nothing to talk about.
How ya doing?
You ok?
Nice.
It's just a white cardigan, nothing special.
Looking for room 23 yeah?
Yeah.
Just a few paces back that way to your left.
I know...
(Walking cane hitting lockers)
Marnie, your shadow's back.
Lucky me.
Did you bring it?
Sam: Yeah, hold on.
Hope there's more for me later?
Wow, real subtle, guys.
Though I don't think any of these
idiots would notice anyways.
You know, I'm happy to do a full body search if you lose that.
You're disgusting.
And JJ
better keep her mouth shut about our... business dealings.
She's not deaf.
Well, that's good at least.
(Sam laughs)
(Kids laugh)
It's not funny.
Sorry princess Jasmine.
It's J.J.
(Paper rustles)
(Kids laugh as paper thuds into walls, lockers and JJ)
HEY! What the hell do you think you're doing?
Trying to get her attention.
She might not know she's standing
outside the wrong classroom.
Just helping her.
Mmmm. Yeah. That's real nice.
How about I help you two fuck off?
Come on, get out of here.
Hey. You okay?
Don't worry about them, they're just idiots.
Where the hell were you? Hey!
Nice of you to join us. No Aly, it's okay.
I heard her footsteps, she was coming.
(Bell Rings)
Should get to the right classroom.
What?
Marnie... I've known you for years.
I've known both you and JJ for years.
I swear I just don't recognize you anymore.
I have a lot on my plate at the moment, Aly,
Okay.
You can't expect me to take care
of her every second of every day.
I've got my own life. Aly,
I'm failing my assessments, my dad is always on my back
I'm just really worried about you guys.
Well, she's my sister, so it's fine. I'll talk to her.
OK.
(Quiet chatter)
How do you understand all of that?
Life's simple in code. Find fault,
fix fault. Code doesn't lie.
I'm going to talk to her. Okay.
Promise?
Promise.
Okay. Sorry.
So what's that for, anyway?
Just a little something I have in mind for tonight.
Speaking of later, you guys in?
Definitely. Yeah.
I'll be there. So will Nash.
Nash... aww, it's always about Nash.
Well, we know that if Nash is there, Aly will be there.
Hey, I do still have a brain of my own guys.
I don't think it's his brain you're interested in.
Look, he's really kind, and he listens.
Bit of an old soul. (Will fake coughs) Pedophile.
Okay. Have you met him for real?
Look, I know that he's older, but
that's quite refreshing amongst
a horde of animals.
Okay, well, 7 p.m..
It's Backlash Time.
Two teams, head to head? Asylum level.
How about deathmatch mode?
My brother's ex-army.
Um, he, he says it's not very realistic,
but I still love to be able to play
the game with you guys sometime.
Anytime really, you know, I'm
not that busy.
Play with us or...
play with Marnie? (Bec laughs)
Well, did you know that It
actually, it uses real locations.
And I've even been to the real life abandoned mental hospital
that the psych asylum level was based on.
And it's super cool. You can you can. Scan your face in.
And you can use your as your avatar.
How cool is that? Right?
Right. That's pretty cool.
But let me tell you something.
If I had face like yours, I probably
wouldn't want to see it on a screen.
In fact,
I'd probably kill myself to save
everybody else from looking at it.
Yeah, that's a really valuable life lesson.
Guys... that's a bit harsh.
The guy knows I'm joking.
Don't you?
Yeah.
(Sam laughs)
One game.
You can play one game... with us.
F-Dan the Man inbound people. Let's Go!
Yeah. You can play diplomat mode. That's always fun.
And as long as I'm not the diplomat.
(Rock Game Music)
Will: Bugger.
Not again.
Guys, guys, guys.
I think I'm lagging, I'm lagging guys! Can we. Can we restart?
Can we just stop.
Stop shooting at me.
Here I am, rescuing the diplomat,
and you just shoot at me.
Sam: Come on, Manie, Come out. Come out wherever you are.
I got the infinite bullets perk.
How am I out? Again?
Will: I'm still lagging. Can we just restart?
Bec: Stop playing with them and get on with it.
Sam: Where would the fun be in that?
Why do I even hang out with you?
Bec: My charm and personality.
Sam: Actually, it's your tits, but anyhow.
Nash: How do I look? Does it suit me?
Aly: Yeah. Well, everything looks good on you Nash.
Nash: Thanks, babe. You too.
Nash: Let's go to clear out Sam and his little sniper tower.
Aly: Marnie's run out of bullets. Again.
(Gun shots) (Fake scream)
Sam: Even with this shitty internet lag,
I can still fucking waste you Marnie.
Will: Good job, Marnie.
Nash: Come on. We got him.
(gun reloading)
Sam: That'll be your teammates, Marnie.
Sam: They hunt in a pack... of two. And you should be dead.
Aly: Oops. Looks like someone hacked the code, Weasel face.
Immortality Perk.
Nash: Nice babe. You got to teach me how to do that.
I just let you guys win, right?
Will: Yeah, well, you didn't let me win,
Marnie. You guys try playing with lag.
Sam: Come on, Aly, just play fair.
Aly: Fine. You win.
(Gun shots) (Computer sounding scream)
Sam: I always do.
And now it's back to you.
Will: Still lagging Bec, Just stop.
Bec: The protectors have failed,
and the diplomat was not rescued.
Will: Wow. Thanks, guys. So much fun playing with you.
Load up another, same map.
Nash: I'm so done saving you, Aly.
Aly: You're saving me now.
Nash: I thought we had something special.
Aly: In your dreams, blondie.
Nash: Yes you are, and I am.
Bleurgh. Yuck.
Will: Online flirting. Please kill me. Again.
Aly: But you make it so easy.
Sam: At least you're better than Nash.
Sam: He plays like he's some fucking old man
(Door closes from down the hall)
I joined the game, but I need to refuel.
I've got low blood sugars.
But hanging with you guys is a fucked kind of fun.
Sam: I'm going to slit Frankie's fucking throat when I see him
(indistinct chatter)
Hungry?
Uh - Huh.
I wonder why that is.
What do you want JJ?
A fucked kind of fun?
Really?
Can you just turn that super hearing
off for once and give me some privacy?
I don't understand why you hang out with those people?
Those people?
Yeah Marnie, those people. Two years ago,
you had the nicest friends, and now
it's just Aly and those a'holes.
Leave me alone, okay.
Things they are saying Marnie. It's disgusting.
It's just a game, idiot.
Okay, and I'm allowed to hang out with whoever I want to.
I'm not trying to say you can't. No, except you are.
Marnie... I... Marnie...
I'm so sick of you constantly leeching off my life.
Just get your own.
What...
I can't even have a conversation without you listening in.
It's not my fault.
No, of course it's not your fault.
It's my fault, isn't it? It's always Marnie's fault.
How long do I have to take the blame for everything?
The blame for what?
Marnie, no one is blaming you for anything.
I'm just worried. Okay.
About what?
I know you're buying pot from Sam.
You know, I smell on your breath almost every night.
The mints do nothing. You're not hiding it at all okay.
It's only a matter of time before Dad busts you.
And who knows what he's going to do?
Listen very carefully princess...
Don't call me that. No, I'm so fucking done with you.
Okay?
I'm done looking after you every day.
Having everything you need every fucking day,
making sure that you get to school every day.
Having everything you could ever need.
I'm not your fucking guide dog.
Sam: Chill out, Aly. Jeez.
Bec: It's a game. It's not real and it's fucking Frankie.
Sam: And the little shit wanted to play with us.
I'm back. Guys.
Sam: Let's just kill this son of a bitch.
I think that's enough.
Sam: Whatever. I'm so uploading this.
They'll love it.
Yeah, I'm done for the night.
Fuck your stupid game and fuck you all.
I don't want to be your fucking boyfriend anyway.
You will bloody regret this.
JJ, please, can you hurry up? We can't be late again.
(JJ sniffs the air)
Nice try, but making my favorite food
doesn't take away anything you said to me yesterday.
I'll stop leeching off you now.
JJ, please. Please.
I know I should have been there
yesterday, and I know that I'm sorry.
Yes. You should be.
Jasmine,
how long are you going to act like this for?
Until you stop being a bitch.
JJ!!
No Marnie!
No. You weren't there.
I was coming... No. You weren't. Okay.
I know the sound your footsteps
but all I heard with my super hearing
was everyone laughing at me.
Jasmine.
I haven't heard you call Jasmine in a while.
It must be pretty serious.
Yeah, I really messed up this time.
Don't really know if she's going to forgive me.
Sorry... Anything I can do?
My shadow still isn't here.
Normally, I'm used to him perking
up all expectant when I walk in.
Well, that video of him getting killed
in the game did go incredibly viral.
Millions of views already. I wouldn't come to school either.
Hope he's okay? Yeah.
I won't miss his eyes on me, though.
Every time yuck!
(traffic noises)
(Creepy Music)
(Knocking on a door)
Marnie: JJ, can we please talk?
I know you can hear me.
Sometimes I wish I couldn't.
Clearly a closed door means walk right in.
I want to apologize.
Course you do. You can take your
apology and screw yourself with it.
Jasmine -
No.
Marnie do not.
Do not call me that.
I hate that name. I hate it.
Jasmine is...
She had a life and friends and color
and could do things by herself and didn't
have a sister who fucking hates her.
I'm not her anymore.
I don't hate you.
Marnie, just get out.
Oh JJ...
Get out Marnie!
(door slams)
(night time sound of crickets and cicadas)
(Creepy Music)
(whimpers and struggles)
That game gets more and more screwed.
(Marnie gasps and fights)
Marnie?
(Marnie struggles to breath)
Marnie, you ok?
(Marnie slowly stops breathing)
(Door opens with a creak)
(Marnie hits the ground with a thud)
Marnie?
You okay?
Marnie?
Who's there?
Marnie...
Stop playing around.
Please... Please...
Please, just take whatever you want.
(Chain clanking, JJ whimpers and cries)
(Footsteps as he walks away)
(Loud chain clanking and muffled grunts)
(Keyboard sounds, computers hum)
(Handcuffs clink, chain rattles)
Aly?
Wake up. Wake up.
(Handcuffs clink, chain rattles)
Marnie...
(Handcuffs clink, chain rattles)
Marnie -
What's happening?
What the hell is happening?
No. No. No.
Marnie No. What's happening. No (muffled) Marnie no.
(footsteps on grass and dead leaves)
(Muffled whimpers, gasps, handcuffs clink, chain rattles)
(gun being primed and prepared)
The chains and collars, they're
connected by climbers belaying clips.
They don't break. If they're not
locked, we can be free of the collars.
If we just get our hands out of these things.
Do you know how to pick handcuffs?
Because I'd really like to be free right now.
That key.
What?
That key right there. That'd get us out.
Stop.
Guys - Stop, stop, stop.
Stop, stop, (choking) guys...
Okay, stop.
There's not enough slack in the chains
for us all to get it. The chains are all connected.
Someone has a really fucking sick sense of humor.
It's like that horror sequel where
if they work together, they survive.
I don't think whoever has done this
has done this just for us to get stuck.
(footsteps on grass and dead leaves)
(Marnie gasps in a pain)
What the hell was that?
I don't. I don't know. It's like.
It was like pins being dug into my neck.
(Aly winces in pain)
Move forward, move forward. The shocks are less -
The collars - they are shock collars.
Whatever's causing the shocks is moving us forward.
Like the space we can stay in is getting smaller.
That means -
We're really running out of time here.
I can reach it. I've got my hands
in front of me. You guys don't -
I think there's enough slack in the middle.
But if you go for the key, we'll
get pulled back into the shock zone.
But if I don't?
Please...
Fine.
Go.
Marnie! (Will cries in pain)
(Aly squeals in pain) Marnie - stop.
Marnie, please hurry.
I can't. There's not enough slack.
Please just stop Give us a break and try again.
It's only going to get worse!
(Aly screams in pain!)
Marnie stop, stop! Please!
Stand up! Stand up and lean over the edge.
What?!
You fucking kidding me?
(Will and Aly gasp and then scream in horrible pain)
Please, Please hurry up.
Come on.
Please. Stop!
Come on. (Aly wails in pain)
(indistinct Will begs)
Please stop!
I'm trying!
(gunshots)
Get it off me, please get it off.
If we figure out what's controlling
these things, it's probably an easy hack.
Is there anything on the outside of the
collars, like some kind of access point?
No, no, it's all solid metal.
I'm here too guys, I could do with a hug.
Looks like you put up a good fight?
Yeah. The splitting headache says I should have gone quietly.
This is insane.
Did either of you hear those gunshots?
Gunshots?
Seriously? Guns?
I don't know.
Maybe I'm hearing things amongst all the
pain and screaming and electrocution Aly!
What?
This place looks really familiar.
Familiar or not, we just need to find a way out.
Ow...
Oh my God guys,
it's the game.
It's Backlash.
What?
How hard did you hit your head?
This is real.
The game maps are based on 3D scans of actual locations.
Well, Frankie said he visited the real
life psychiatric hospital that the asylum.
The asylum level was based on.
So do you really think this is it?
Yeah.
We're in Sam's sniper tower.
BANG! (Aly gasps in pain)
More gunshots (Aly screams!)
Yep... this is real.
You fucking think!
Who the hell do we do?
We have to help her.
And we got shot at with real bullets like that.
If this is the game that we were playing
then it's a shrinking map and
these collars are going to kill us.
(gunshots and shattering debris)
Aly, we're coming for you!
No don't, don't.
If you come out here, you get shot, and
I really don't fucking recommend it.
Got any ammo left?
(electric sparking sounds)
(gun primed and cocked)
(Aly and Will gasp from electric shocks)
(rapid gunfire)
No we have to go, have to go! Go!
Gunshots echo round the room.
(JJ whimpers, struggles and grunts in
pain, chaining clanking on the scaffold)
Now you've wasted all the ammo.
They don't know that.
(Aly whimpers in pain)
What kind of sick psycho decides to turn a game into reality?
The one that's going to kill us if we don't figure a way out.
This is... this is the room
where Nash and I found the weapons.
(Aly gasps in pain)
You think the others are here?
I hope not,
but if they are, then we have more people
to fight against who's shooting at us.
I need like a bandage or something to wrap this with.
(cloth ripping)
You bandage the wound and I'll look for some weapons.
(Aly whimpers then gasps in pain)
I never imagined! Arrggh!
(Aly cries in pain)
(Aly whimpers)
Are you okay?
I'm good, I'm good.
(chain clinks)
(Door creaks open)
(Aly grunts)
Will was the diplomat last night.
Clearly I'm not now, am I?
That was in a video game where
you don't bleed when you get shot.
Who's the unlucky one now?
Frank was the only other diplomat.
We've got to get to him before the others do.
I don't know how much help I'm going to
be with all the limping and bleeding.
We've got no choice the game map is shrinking.
And if we stay here, then there's no way out.
(Creepy tense music)
Aaarrr!!
(gun goes off)
(gun bounces on the floor)
(chain rattles)
Will... Will!!
Hey, please, please don't be dead.
Hey, come on, come on. Get up!
Hey, hey. It's me.
It was him or us.
Hey, come on, Will.
Get up Will! Get up!
Come here. Come here, Come here!
Get a hold of yourself?
Alright.
You want to end up like that?
It was either him or us.
You don't want to die, do you?
Okay. Well, you need to get a grip.
Where is your gun?
Marnie...
What?
Marnie...
Fuck, you fucking dumb bitch.
Now they're better armed than us.
Please...
Look at me... Look at me.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm just...
I don't know. I'm just freaking out. You know how I get.
I know, but it's okay because you have
your gun and you've got your ammunition.
Bec, I told you.
I'm out of ammo, so it's useless.
You're such an idiot.
(Creepy music)
That's her. That's my Aly.
Yeah Nash. That's her.
And not like she's yours.
So don't turn into a lovesick puppy just yet.
I mean, really... is your name even Nash?
Of course it is.
I know it don't look like that blonde beefcake,
but I'm still the same person she's
been talking to this entire time.
Sure, of course you are.
Okay, guys, can we just stop, please?
It obvious they've gotten away. Okay, We just need to find.
He'll be at the center of the map, and
there's only two ways to get there.
We get him and then we get them.
How do you know it's him?
Well, it was Will last game, but clearly it's not now.
So the only other player it leaves is Frankie.
Once we get him and then we nail the rest.
These people are your friends, aren't they?
Aren't they?
We should be working with them to escape. Not by killing them.
Getting killed tends to end friendships Nash,
And I know which side of that I want to be on.
So...
if you're not with me,
then you're against me.
(Creepy music)
(Chains clink) (Jasmine grunts in pain and effort)
(indistinct voices and footsteps)
(Muffled) - Marnie?
What are we going to do?
The diplomat was chained at the centre of the map.
(Jasmine struggles and cries)
(Footsteps echo from the other direction)
We can set a trap right?
Yeah. Wow.
You're just so clever.
Sam, we don't have to kill the diplomat.
We don't have a choice Nash
(muffled whimpers and pleas)
That's not Frankie, it's JJ.
Who?
Marnie's little sister. We can't kill her.
We don't have a choice.
We can't do this. We can find another way.
What other way. There's no other way out.
As long as she lives, we aren't leaving.
She needs to die,
I can't, I can't let you do this.
Get out of the way.
I will not let you kill a kid.
Please. Please.
You stupid whore. Do you want to get us all killed?
(muffled whimpers and pleas rising in fear)
(Muffled) No. No. No.
(multiple gunshots)
Marnie, it's JJ
(multiple gunshots)
Get JJ, get JJ.
(multiple gunshots)
You show your face, and I'll kill you Sam!
Good luck with that. You're a crap shot in reality.
Shut up!
Come on!
I'm trying. I'm trying.
You're making a mistake Aly.
Shut up weasel!
You guys don't understand.
Hurry up.
You don't know what you're doing.
You missed again Marnie.
I'll get her.
No, Marnie, get her out, get JJ out. Go Go.
Get out of here. Get JJ out of here.
No Marnie no, no no no.
Stop!
Marnie Stop. No!
No!
Stay where you are.
Not finished with you yet.
Where is the exit?
I don't know where the exit is.
But JJ is the diplomat so if Marnie gets her there
and then the game ends and we'll all live OK.
No, we don't.
Shock cuff.
These turned on after we failed to stop you at the sniper tower.
This is now a death match.
Don't, come on, hey -
So. Aly.
Tell me where the exit is... and you can die quickly.
There's another way we can handle this.
(Aly screams in pain!)
Leave her alone.
She's telling the truth.
Aly doesn't lie.
Who are you?
That's Nash.
No... no. No.
Yeah.
It really is.
Here's your chance to find out where Marnie and JJ are going.
You told me how you're claustrophobic.
You did.
When you were a kid, you hated being trapped small places.
How do you know this about me?
You told me about Marnie, how she'd changed.
And all her friends left her but you didn't. You stayed.
No, you're not Nash
I am.
I'm sorry, but I am.
How do you know this about me?
You told me about your mother
when you came back from school and found her -
no, no. No. It's. Shut up.
You told me.
Shut up. Shut up!
Whoever you are, don't talk about my mother.
Enough!
You shut the fuck up.
He used a fake avatar. A blonde cutie you'd like.
I trusted you.
I told you everything.
Oh Aly. You did tell me he was an old soul.
Bloody pedo.
So, Aly, tell me where the exit is.
I told you, I don't know.
(Aly cries in pain)
Get off her.
Shut it perv.
Please... please.
Where is Marnie and JJ?
I didn't even know JJ was the
diplomat, how am I meant to know?
Bull crap.
You tell me the truth right now.
I already did you sick fuck.
Okay...
No... no... Get away from me.
I gave you a chance and you failed.
If you don't wanna talk... I'll make you talk!
(Aly screams!)
Bec! Help me!
I can't. I'm sorry! I can't! I can't!
(incoherent screams and pleas)
Sam!
(Door locked and rattling)
Don't you hurt her.
Sam!
(Door and lock rattling)
Bec?!
Sorry.
Okay...
You okay?
Where are we going?
We have to find a way out before the others catch us.
Every diplomat level has an exit.
What are you talking about?
What is this thing?
You don't...
What is it?
You don't have it. What is this thing?
I need you to say here, I'm just going to
check if there's an exit through there.
Marnie don't leave. Don't leave Marnie.
What's a diplomat level?
I don't know where I am, or what's going on?
Marnie, I...
I just want to go home.
Please.
Come on, what is this thing?
Marnie, please talk to me.
Please, please, please.
There's no way out and we need to keep moving.
(drowning and bubbles and struggling)
(Aly gasps and coughs water)
Where is the exit?
I swear I don't know.
(drowning and bubbles and struggling)
Where is it?
I don't know.
Nash: Sam! Open the door!
(Aly gasps and whimpers)
I told you, I don't know, I don't -
Nash: Sam, she didn't do anything.
(drowning and bubbles and struggling)
Nash: She doesn't know anything, she's not lying.
(Aly gasps and coughs water)
Nash really likes you.
Stop...
Tell me the truth.
I am, I am, I am!
(struggling slowly fades)
Sam!!
He's not going to listen.
He never listens Nash. It's just...
the more you beg...
The harder he hits.
It's my fault.
You know, if I just listened to what I was
meant to do, and if at school, with friends...
All yours...
Aly... Aly!!
Please get up.
Aly get up please.
Please.
When I make a decision,
you stay out of my way.
Aly...
Wake up... come on get up... please.
She said she didn't know anything.
You still did this to her.
I gave her a chance. She gave me no choice.
You psycho.
She was the most beautiful person I ever met.
You never met her Nash, and she didn't even know who you were.
I knew her.
I knew her, her hopes, her dreams.
Her dreams.
And you ended them.
And Nash...
you're going to join her pretty soon if we don't find Marnie.
Get off me.
(struggling and kicking and fighting)
Get off me.
(Nash gasps as he struggles to breath)
Know you place...
(Nash gasps as he struggles to breath)
Let go of me!
(Nash coughs and wheezes)
I need you alive.
Let's get out of here.
(Nash cries)
You know that game that you heard us playing?
Well, someone's playing it for real and we're in it.
What the hell. What did you do?
Who was it? Who did this?
I don't know.
But what if we don't know who it
is, how do we know what they want?
I don't know.
And I'm this diplomat thing, this
is what this thing on my wrist is?
I just need you to stay here, okay?
And I'm going to see if this is an exit.
Stay.
They want me dead Marnie.
No one is going to kill you JJ, okay.
I would never let that happen.
I heard them.
Once the diplomat, once I'm dead, the game ends.
And if I get you to the exit, then
no one has to die and the game ends.
We left Aly behind.
We're gonna get her back.
Marnie?
Marnie? Are you okay? Talk to me.
I need to know where you are.
Marnie: I just need a moment.
Are you okay?
I'm okay. I'll be okay.
Just through here.
You smell weird.
Thank you. JJ.
No, it's like how you smelt in the hospital last year.
Marnie? When was the last time you ate?
Marnie!?
I didn't have dinner last night.
When we argued. It's all my fault.
It's not your fault. It's my fault.
Why do you always blame yourself for everything.
It doesn't matter?
We need to find the exit, it's always on the side of the map.
Marnie.
Seriously.
Sam, get away from us.
You know I can't do that.
Why? If the diplomat's rescued, then the game's over.
Not in deathmatch mode.
How do you know it's deathmatch mode?
That's what we were playing last.
What is deathmatch mode?
The exit is blocked until the other team are dead.
And if I counted shots correctly.
You only have two bullets left and there's three of us.
Don't think I won't.
Yeah. Yeah.
You're a real killer.
This is not a video game.
The exit is right there, we can all leave, right?
We can all leave -
Feel that metal thing around your wrist.
Yeah,
That's why. It's a shock cuff.
There were no shock cuffs in the game.
How do you know so much?
I don't.
I just know it can kill us.
Stop. Stop.
No one's going to die. We're going to find a way out.
What did you do?
Who did you piss off so badly that they want to do this to us?
Frankie
Frankie Daniels.
He hasn't been in school for the past few days.
And then we humiliated him in the
game, and then you posted it online.
That was just a joke, that we all found funny.
And really, do you think the little
weasel has the balls to do all this?
Think about it?
It's not him.
It isn't.
How do you know more than we do?
What?
Sam... what?
That guy...
That guy that took us...
okay...
It wasn't him. It can't be Frankie.
This guy was wearing a mask,
and he was taller and bigger,
and he didn't sound like Frankie.
He paid someone. It's him, this is his revenge.
I was the first to wake up. Nobody else... just me.
And he told me everything.
He told me about the deathmatch.
The shock cuffs
and the rules.
Marnie...
We have to kill you... and you... to get out of here alive.
And you're just going to listen to him?
Sam, since when have you taken shit from anyone?
Come on...
Sam: Okay, so if we, If we were to work together,
does anyone have any idea how to
stop these collars from killing us?
If we step off the map?
There Marnie.
There's only one way out.
Either you kill us or... you and the kid will die.
(Sam gasps in pain)
An electric shock.
Map's shrinking again Marnie, soon
there won't be an exit to reach,
Even if you do end up killing us all.
This is not a game.
It's make up your mind time now.
This is not a game Sam!
Come on Marnie, just fucking shoot me!
I didn't hesitate. When I had to kill Aly.
No you fucking didn't.
I didn't hesitate for a moment.
Sick fuck.
No no, you're lying.
Anyways, now let's just get on with this
because let me tell you something Marnie,
the way out ain't opening til we're all dead.
Marnie run!
(Scuffling and struggling as they fight)
Marnie, make it stop!
(Scuffling and struggling as they fight)
I can hear all of it. I can hear all of it.
(Brutal hits of baseball bat against skull)
Marnie, make it stop!
Get up... Get. Up.
I guess it's now 2 vs 2... 2 left with 2 bullets left.
It's simple,
except you just can't do it.
You murderer.
He attacked me. He tried to kill me.
It was his fault. Not mine.
It's never you fault.
Come on JJ.
I'm not backing down without a fight, not to a fucking coward.
A coward?
Don't you dare talk to me like you.
You entitled little shit.
You, you, you... you don't know me.
You have no idea what it's like in my life.
To have to fight for everything just to survive.
So don't you fucking dare talk to me like that
you stupid bitch.
Marnie run!
(Scuffling and struggling as they fight)
What are you doing?
I should've done this years ago.
(Scuffling and struggling as they fight)
Well I guess it's a bit too late now.
(they get electrocuted)
(Both scream in pain)
(Bec whimpers as she dies)
(Creepy music)
Don't let me die like that.
Don't let me die like that Marnie.
She sounded so tortured.
I heard her scream and die, so scared.
I can't see him anywhere.
I'm going to get us out, okay.
You had a gun.
Sam said so. Why didn't you use it Marnie?
You have to trust me.
You let that happen Marnie.
You let it happen.
Gonna get us out.
How?
Aly is dead.
That guy Nash. And now Bec...
It's Aly... okay... it's Aly.
Your hearing is awesome Jasmine...
Can you tell me,
if he's further away or is he coming closer?
He's moving away. He's walking away from us.
Aly... Aly... You're ok.
I'm okay, I'm okay.
We don't time, we need to keep
moving. The map's still shrinking too.
What? Sam mentioned that. What's shrinking?
The area we can stay in without being electrocuted is shrinking.
It's pushing us closer to the center
where I don't know who has done this to us
is waiting there.
We still think that is Frankie.
Frankie. Of course.
How could you not realize you were hurting him so badly.
It was just a game JJ. It wasn't real.
It felt real to him.
Why are you defending him?
Because I'm just like him.
I know how he feels Marnie.
Right now.
We need to. We need to survive him. Okay, so...
Marnie, he liked you.
You can talk him down,
If anyone could.
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
I just haven't had lunch since...
Well, it doesn't matter, really.
Gotta keep going okay?
Been thinking about getting out of these...
The collars don't shock us randomly, so
they're not being operated individually.
It's like responding to some sort of
signal from a central hub or something.
In theory, a wireless signal that hits everywhere equally,
all at the same time, creating a circular field.
So it is centered in the middle of the map.
Which is where we found JJ, But I just
don't remember there being a control room.
I remember hearing him walking beneath me.
(faint footsteps)
The bottom floor was directly underneath us.
Shhhh... quiet.
He's coming back...
We need to go.
He's going to get pushed closer and closer
to us. He's going to get us eventually.
We fight back.
Getting closer.
You think you can beat him?
I don't have a choice. We can use what he doesn't know.
We have to go now.
Against the wall, get against the wall.
(chain rattles on the floor)
(approaching footsteps)
(door creaks open)
Come on girls.
I'm getting real bored of this.
Go go, go through there.
(tense music)
(Aly hits something with her foot with a bang)
(tense music)
(Marnie and JJ's footsteps going up stairs)
(tense music)
Well, now, that didn't work out, did it?
You've looked better Marnie.
Hell, I even thought about fucking
you instead of that slut Bec,
but right now, you look like shit,
so it'd be like screwing a dead body.
But I prefer a bit of fight.
You're an animal.
Stay away from us Sam.
You know I can't do that, and you know the rules.
And you know the rules.
I can persuade Frankie. Just. Just give me a chance.
It's not him.
And even if it was, he could have stopped this by now.
You touch her and I'll kill you.
This is a chance for redemption Marnie.
Finally a chance to make it all right.
Shut up.
Just surely, surely you want to tell your
sister the truth before you both die?
What happened...
Why you are like you are.
Shut up.
(Sam laughs) Oh Marnie, Marnie, Marnie.
You blame yourself everything yet you aren't to blame.
But... there's just one thing
that we both know that you did do.
What is he talking about Marnie?
Yeah Marnie...
What am I talking about?
Marnie?
Well, JJ,
it goes something like this...
Hey a'hole!
I killed you.
(Aly stamps on him hard)
It takes a lot longer to drown someone in real life.
(Aly nails him again)
than it does in a stupid fucking game.
(Aly hit him so hard his ribs break)
(Aly gasps in pain)
(Dragging sounds on a wooden floor)
Marnie... Marnie come back.
Marnie...
Aly - Wait wait wait wait wait.
Don't do it.
Why Marnie?
Why shouldn't I? Look what he's done...
Bec...
Nash...
Thought nothing of killing you and JJ.
You... you don't have the guts.
You don't want to do this Aly.
That's the thing Marnie.
(Sam crashes down the stairs, bones breaking)
I really do.
(Creepy Music)
Marnie?
(Aly grunts in pain)
Is he dead?
Yeah.
Good.
You don't mean that.
I do.
So this is it right?
We won right?
Come on. Whoever you are.
JJ: We did it. We won, you lost you lost, you lost.
We won, we can go home. Right?
No JJ, I'm sorry.
That's not how this works.
But how did you do it in the game? How does it work?
In the game, there's always a secret passage to the exit.
The secret passage to the exit...
It's got to be in the hallway.
It's got to be this way.
(Aly gasps then screams in pain)
Sorry guys.
It's getting closer.
In the game, there's enough life force
to get us to the exit but in reality
we have five working legs, an
insulin deprived diabetic, and...
I know...
I get it.
Sorry JJ.
I just need to go to the control room, okay?
If I get to the control room, we can
figure out how these collars work.
What do we do when we find Frankie?
How are you going to talk him out of it Marnie?
I don't know.
Figured it out.
(Marnie vomits)
Marnie, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...
I shouldn't have yelled at you.
This is all my fault.
No...
This is all my fault.
No, you don't have to blame yourself for everything.
Sam said that too, but...
What was he talking about?
I need to tell you.
Marnie, now is not the time.
There is no time.
Right now we need to focus on getting out of here.
Aly, four of us is dead, and the map is shrinking.
Tell me when the fucking time is?
The firework...
It was just a prank.
My friends...
okay it was just a prank.
And me and my friends wanted to just throw it through the window
and hear it go bang! It wasn't...
The fuse wasn't meant to take as long as it did.
You weren't meant to walk in. None of it was meant to happen.
I'm sorry...
Just a prank...
A joke...
I'm sorry.
I lost everyone except for Aly.
They couldn't handle it. They couldn't handle me.
You did this... you did this to me.
You did this to me...
No you didn't, no you didn't Marnie.
No, stop Marnie stop.
Please I'm so sorry JJ.
You broke me.
You took everything. Everything away from me.
Everything that made me me, it's all gone, it's all gone.
I'm sorry.
No...
I will never see colours again.
I will never watch the world go by.
I will never see Dad's face again.
It's all because of you,
And you're sorry?!
Jasmine, I'm so sorry.
No, Aly. You knew.
You both knew. No one told me.
For two years...
JJ, please don't go. Don't go.
I never want to hear your voice again.
Don't say that.
I got to get her -
No Marnie.
I gotta get her.
Marnie! No. No!
Hey, hey, hey.
You're going to find JJ, okay?
You're going to go get JJ, and I'm
going to go to the control room
and figure out how these things work and turn them off.
Then take my gun.
I didn't think you have any bullets left.
One for me and one for JJ.
I couldn't handle her dying slowly, so I kept them.
That's why you didn't shoot Sam.
I don't think I could.
(stumbling and struggling down the stairs)
JJ. I'm so sorry JJ.
JJ...
JJ, are you there?
JJ. Please. Please.
I'm so sorry, please.
(JJ gasps in a little pain)
Come on JJ. Come out. Come on!
(Creepy Music)
(Electric shock zap)
(Another gasp in pain from electrocution)
That's the wrong way.
(Tense Music)
JJ. I'm so sorry.
(Tense Music)
Is someone there?
Marnie?
Please be Marnie, please.
(Yelping and struggling)
Call to Marnie.
No.
(JJ screams)
(JJ screams again)
JJ?
I can't see anything.
Just come out.
Just come out if you are here.
Please. Please.
I'm so sorry.
Marnie...
Oh my God...
(High Energy Music)
(Aly grunts in pain)
(High Energy Music)
(door rattling)
Marnie, help me, please.
Marnie... Marnie (muffled)
You're not Frankie.
If you weren't so self-absorbed, you'd know exactly who I am.
Whatever Frank is paying you, I'll double it.
You think this is about money?
I'll do anything. Okay. I'll do anything.
Just let her go.
She didn't do anything wrong.
Neither did my brother.
Who?
Exactly.
All he wanted was for you to notice him.
She seems nice.
She is.
It's Backlash time.
I'd still love to play the game with you guys.
You can play one game.
F-Dan the Man inbound people.
Sam: Waste of oxygen.
Bec: Go kill yourself.
Bec: Pathetic loser.
So uploading this, they'll love it. (Sam and Nash laugh)
Joe pick up.
Stupid Frankie.
Please pick up.
All he wanted to do was play a game.
A game!
And you invited him in, and then you broke him.
I didn't. I didn't know.
Bull crap.
Liar. Liar!
You and your friends destroyed him
from the safety of your own homes,
hiding behind your computer screens,
completely devoid from the reality of what you say and do.
Would he want you to do this?
I'll never know what he wants.
Frankie.
(Joe knocks on the door)
I'm sorry I missed your call...
but I got your favourite dinner.
Frankie man, you -
(Joe cries in pain)
I'm so sorry,
Okay, I'm so sorry
that this has happened.
My brother killed himself because
of you and your vicious friends.
But I need you to let her go.
She didn't have anything to do with Frankie. That was me.
I'm the guilty one. If you want to kill someone, you kill me.
Please kill me.
She's done nothing wrong.
Nothing.
She's my little sister.
Please.
Please
kill me.
She's innocent.
So was my brother.
No, no, no, no, no, no, don't -
I'm sorry.
(Marnie cries in horror)
Stay... stay...
Stop. Stop... please.
Stay...
No, no, no, no.
Kidnapping her wasn't an accident.
She was the lesson.
Now you know how it feels to lose someone you love.
Someone who's innocent.
I'm gonna fucking kill you.
I'm gonna kill you.
JJ...
please stay with me, please stay... stay...
(door rattling)
(heavy breathing in pain)
(Electric shock zaps)
(Aly cries out in pain, then screams!)
(Marnie gasps in pain)
I need to go... I need to go.
(Electric shock zaps)
(Aly gasping in pain through gritted teeth)
(Marnie cries)
(Aly pants as she recovers)
(door rattling)
I have to, I have to. I'm so sorry...
(door crashes open)
(Aly heavy breathing as she recovers)
(Creepy Music)
(Strong Beat Music)
So you're the little hacker.
Frankie said it was a smart one in your group.
Makes sense that you're the last one alive.
You're Joe.
Frankie's brother.
Was.
Were you mean was?
Oh my God.
I'm so sorry.
So am I.
He's a really good kid. He didn't deserve this.
I wish I could change it.
We all wish we could change it.
Of course you do, now that you actually
have to deal with what you've done
now that you're not hiding behind the computer screen.
HEY. Hey.
Okay,
look.
You got whatever it is you wanted
from us when you brought us here.
Okay?
It's time to let us go...
It's time to let us go.
Okay.
I never hurt Frankie. I never did anything to him.
Exactly.
You did absolutely nothing.
You did nothing to help him,
and you did nothing to stop them.
And that makes you just as guilty as they are.
You get what I mean?
Please...
Ex-military intelligence
moved into cyber security,
Silly little girl who thinks she can hack with the big boys.
Marnie...
She didn't make it.
No one's coming to save you,
(Aly weeps)
(Aly grunts with effort)
I save myself a'hole.
Seriously?
(Scuffling and thudding as they fight)
(chain rattling)
(Aly gasping and choking)
Marnie...
(muffled choking pleas)
You're supposed to be dead.
I wish.
If this fucking shock collar
wouldn't keep waking me up.
Let her go...
Shoot him, Marnie... Shoot him.
Please,
You killed Jasmine.
(Aly gasps and coughs)
We have to get out of here.
No, we can't. The electric field is getting closer and closer.
We're trapped.
No extra lives, no re spawns, no reboots.
(chain rattles)
(Joe yells in pain)
(Joe grunts painfully trying to escape)
(Aly groans with exertion)
(Joe grunts painfully trying to escape)
We can't let him get away with this Marnie.
We can't let him get away.
We have to try.
No.
If we turn the collars off we'll live, but so will he.
We've got to finish this.
Please...
No...
Marnie...
When it's done... when it's done,
I need you to just press the ‘N' key.
I need you to do it, okay.
We can find another way.
Marnie.
Marnie...
(electric zaps and gasps)
You can do this.
No, I'm not.
Marnie...
It's time to let go.
(Piano Music) (zaps, gasps, screams)
Marnie... go... go.
(Piano Music) (lower volume zaps, gasps, screams)
(electricity hums and sparking)
(electric shocks)
(Marnie cries)
(Rock Music)
