Oh my God.

Party house rioting.

Come on, come on, come on.

What just happened?

I don't know. Whatever it was, it was
intense.

Yeah, intense is a good word.

Illogical is another.

Where did everybody go? I don't
understand. Where did everybody go?

She doesn't make any sense. What was
with that light?

Maybe this is somebody's idea of a joke.
If this is a joke, I fail to see the

humor. Okay, maybe we're all having a
mass hallucination. What do you mean?

We're stoned? You don't have to take
drugs to hallucinate. It helps.

We were walking down the hall and then
there was this flash. And everything

froze. It was like time just stood
still. Why didn't we freeze? I don't

Like I said, this is not logical.

This isn't happening. This can't be
happening. Maybe it's a dream. Yeah, it

could be a dream.

Yeah, okay. Okay, one of us is dreaming
and the rest of us are all part of the

dream. Now, the question is, how do we
determine which one of us is... Let me

slap you and see if you wake up. That's
okay. No, we can't be the only ones

left. There has to be someone else here.

Where is everybody?

No!

That's physically impossible.

No, don't!

Okay,

this is really starting to freak me out.

We're all freaked out. The question is,
what do we do?

Okay, we need to stick together until we
can figure out what's going on here.

What if we can't figure it out?

What if reality just stopped making
sense?

Like that?

No.

There has to be another way out of here.

There's nothing out there.

Where did everything go?

There is nothing wrong with your
television.

Do not attempt to adjust the picture.

We are now controlling the transmission.

We control the horizontal and the
vertical.

We can deluge you with a thousand
channels.

or expand one single image to crystal
clarity.

And beyond.

We can shape your vision to anything our
imagination can conceive.

For the next hour, we will control all
that you see and hear.

about to experience the awe and mystery
which reaches from the deepest inner

mind to the outer limits.

Please stand by.

When a heart has been turned cold by
anger and grief, can

patterns of destructive behavior be
averted?

Or are they predestined?

We're screwed.

What'd you say?

Let's face it, we're stuck here.

Yeah, but where is here?

Looks like school to me.

Yeah, it looks like school.

What is it?

We're not stuck here.

There has to be a way out.

Keep trying. If we can get into the next
hallway... Oh, yeah, it's easier said

than done.

What, are you guys just gonna stand
here? I was letting you be the hero,

Get out of here, okay? The dank door's
not going to open. They have to open.

What, you want to try? Does that mean
we're stuck here?

I should be nodding off in Mercer's
class right about now.

I was on my way to a physics lab.

I had an experiment I thought up in the
middle of the night. What don't you

think about getting us out of here,
Einstein?

If we can figure out how we got here in
the first place, then we can figure out

how to escape.

Well, I think the light had something to
do with bringing us here. Is that the

best thing you can come up with?

He is right about one thing. We have to
stick together.

What makes you think we have a choice?

We've tried all the doors we have access
to.

So structurally, another option might be
the ventilation system.

The air vents?

Here, I'll give you a leg up. You can
crawl through. At least he's trying to

find a way out of here. I know a way out
of here. How?

Close our eyes, click our heels
together, and say there's no place to

just trying to piss me off, man.

You're going to slap me around? Guys,
wait!

Wait!

Maybe it's a test.

What kind of test?

Of our faith.

Oh, don't tell me I'm stuck here with a
Bible thumper. Are you going to start

quoting scripture now? No, because the
last thing I want to hear right now is

how this is so much like Jonah being
swallowed up by a stupid whale.

I'm surprised you know the story of
Jonah and the whale. Oh, you can rest

assured I'm not a Jesus freak. Neither
am I.

Bet you're virgin though, aren't you?

It's none of your business.

Score one for the home team. Will you
just focus on what the hell's going on

here? I've been known to read a little
science fiction from time to time. No,

you're kidding.

And there are several possibilities
concerning our situation.

We could have accidentally slipped into
a parallel universe, or maybe we've

become on talking to... Guys!

Why didn't I think of that?

Guys!

Who or what is that?

Guys, this way.

Hey, hey, come on, shut the door. Shut
the door.

What is that? What is that? I want to go
home. Oh, my God.

There

is

no escape.

Sit down.

Who are you? You have questions.

But for now, you will listen.

We have been studying human beings for
hundreds of generations.

We are usually discreet in our
observations, but there are times when

to conduct what you would call
experiments.

We've been abducted on some kind of
alien spaceship.

You will not be...

You are a slowly maturing race, mired in
repetitive patterns of behavior.

How you learn so little in the face of
so much accumulated evidence stimulates

our interest.

I can experiment on this, I know it.

And still, you do not listen.

You are seeing.

An example of fear disrupting the
ability to concentrate and focus.

A prevailing human trait.

Each of you has been chosen to
participate in the experiment we are

about to conduct. Why are we so lucky?

The experiment?

quite simple.

As you can see by the clock on the
walls, it is ten o 'clock.

At three o 'clock, one of you must die.

Now you may speak.

What do you mean?

One of us must die.

What is unclear?

You're going to kill one of us. I will
be performing the execution, yes.

What right do you have to do this?

I choose to do it. That's all the
authority I need.

Why us?

You were all chosen.

And we don't have anything to say about
it? This is so unfair.

Now, how are you going to decide which
one of us is... You know.

I will not be the one to decide. You
will decide.

At three o 'clock, you will vote on
which of your fellow humans is to be put

death.

After the execution, the four students
left will return unharmed to live out

their normal lives.

What if we refuse to vote?

Then all of you will die.

You have five hours to come to a
decision.

I

can't

do this.

Obviously he can. This is not happening.

I don't care what anybody says. This is
not happening. I've got news for you.

This is happening. Why is he doing this?
He doesn't need a reason.

My guess is we were chosen at random.
Wait, you think he's just going to pop

of us? It's a distinct possibility.

I can't take this.

What are we going to do?

We don't have a choice. When three o
'clock rolls around, we're going to

Don't say that. Yeah, like we're going
to vote for one of us to die.

Can we please concentrate on a way to
get out of here? Aren't you listening?

There is no escape.

Just because he said that doesn't mean
it's true, okay? We haven't explored

every possible option.

All right, let's explore every possible
option.

No!

It didn't break.

How could it not break?

Well, obviously the window's all made of
glass.

You're not going to be able to get out
through the windows.

There has to be something we can do.

There has to be.

Why else would he give us five hours to
think about the vote?

They want to see what we'll do, see if
we can escape.

Who's they?

Don't you remember that mark he made
about fear disrupting our ability to

and concentrate?

Who do you think he was talking to? They
are watching us.

They're watching us.

We're lab rats, remember?

No, you know what? I'm not going to play
this game.

I'm not going to give him the
satisfaction.

I thought you asked a good question.

Yeah, what was that?

Why are we so lucky?

What if there's a reason to five of us
and not five other students?

Well, what could it be? It's not like
we're best friends or anything.

Let's face it. I don't hang out with any
of you guys. Do you hang out together?

Yeah, we all hang out together.

All we do is talk about you. Don't you
take anything seriously?

No, he doesn't.

How would you know?

I know.

What? You and your disciple friends, you
talk about me? My friends and I are not

disciples.

And didn't you know?

Everybody talks about everybody.

What do you say when you talk about me?
Don't tell me you care.

No, really, I want to know. Too bad,
because I'm not going to tell you. Tell

No. Quit it, both of you. Uh -oh, look
out.

Hero dude just got off his horse. He's
going to whoop some ass. What's up with

you, this hero dude stuff?

You're the football hero.

The star running back.

At least you were until you hurt that
knee of yours.

Rumor has it you hurt it pretty good.

I guess all those college scholarships
pretty much dried up by then.

He's got a lot of pain inside.

It's fairly a psychobabble. What he
doesn't realize is that we all have a

pain inside.

Oh, great. Next thing you know, we're
going to be holding hands and singing

Kumbaya. Amen.

I'm out of here. Me too.

You don't have faith in anything, do
you?

I have faith in science.

Meaning you worship at a computer rather
than an altar. Well, you have to have

faith in something.

You know what I have faith in?

I have faith in me.

I know who I am, I know what I'm doing,
and I know what I'm capable of.

Can you say the same thing about you?

I didn't think so.

and that room will open either.

It's like somebody glued them all shut.
How can this be happening?

Stop asking me these questions. I don't
know, all right?

That thing can't force us to vote, can
it?

Everything's in my locker. What are we
going to do, Ray? I don't have any great

ideas, do you?

You know, I'll let you in on a little
secret.

People don't usually come to me for
great ideas, and guys rarely come up to

because they're interested in my mind.

Well, can you blame them? Look at you.

You know...

You and I are kind of alike.

No, we're not.

Substitute your athletic abilities for
my looks and what do you get?

My football career is over.

You still have your looks.

Lucky me.

Yeah, lucky you.

What are we talking about? You know we
might die?

I don't even want to think about that.

If you were to vote,

I told you, I don't even want to think
about it.

Toilet's still flush, in case you're
interested.

Hey, where is everybody?

Oh, okay, there you are.

Okay, Brianna and I were talking. That
can't lead to anything good. Give me a

chance. Okay, we were talking about the
exit doors.

Hey, one -on -one in, and he came in the
other end. So what about him?

Well... What's interesting about the
phenomenon is it's not like you're

through a mirror. It actually took you a
second to reappear. Big deal. We still

ended up right back here. But it is a
big deal.

Well, that is, it could be a big deal.

Look, I can show you better than tell
you. Come here. Open those doors down.

See?

Wow.

Bravo.

Bravo.

Will there be two shows nightly? You're
not showing us anything we don't already

know. Okay, watch. I'll stick my arm in.

You see my arm sticking out the other
end?

No, I don't see it.

Okay, well, however this maze works,
there's obviously a space between this

of doors and that set of doors.

If someone were to walk out at an angle
and sit straight ahead like Ray and I

did... We might be able to find a way
out of here.

Where are you going now?

I need a rope.

What are you doing?

This will do.

Okay. Who wants to go?

Well, whose idea was it?

Right. I should go.

Okay.

Okay, I'll just slip around the corner
here and stay pressed up against the

of the building.

Okay?

If I should yell or something, just pull
me back in.

If you can't hear me for some reason,
I'll give two quick tugs, and that means

pull me back.

All right?

Here, take it off. I'll go.

Okay. Way to go, hero dude.

Sorry.

I'm going to slip around the corner
here.

Stay pressed up against the building.

If I have any problems, I'm going to
yell.

You just pull me back, okay?

Or give two quick tucks.

Yeah, if you can't hear me, I'll just
give two quick tucks.

I hope this works.

Save your breath. He's not going
anywhere.

Yeah, yeah, I'm staying up against the
building.

I can't see anything from here. Be
careful!

Ray?

Ray, what are you doing?

Why isn't he answering?

Ray?

Ray?

Ray, the extension cord's running out.

Ray, what are you doing?

Ray, stop!

Ray!

Ray, where are you?

I guess I was wrong.

Ray! Where did he go?

I don't know. He's gone. We don't know
that. Well, he's not here, is he?

Maybe now we don't have to vote.

Are you really that big of a jerk? I was
just saying what everyone else was

thinking. I wasn't thinking that.

Maybe that's the brand.

Ray! Ray!

Ray! Are you okay?

Ray, what happened?

Something's out there. What do you mean?

I was stepping away from the building.

Something grabbed my cord. What?

I don't know. I don't know. I didn't see
anything.

I started running. I just took off
running. I untied the cord.

I ran into these doors.

Something... I think something just blew
me through.

Well,

that's it, then.

There's no way out.

Look at this. It's like a morgue in
here. No one's even died yet.

Don't tell me you've all given up.
Nobody's given up, Phillips.

Then what are we going to do, Ray?

Tell me, because I'd really like to
know.

Okay, maybe... Maybe, uh... Maybe one of
us could volunteer.

Sacrifice him or herself so the rest of
us can live.

Maybe you should volunteer, retard.

Brianna could always do the honors. Are
you suggesting I sacrifice myself?

It'd be the religious thing to do.
Nobody's going to volunteer to do

Ray's right, guys. If we all just stick
together... No.

Look at you guys.

All your athletic ability.

All your good looks and rich friends.

All your brain power.

All your faith.

What good are they now?

What good were they even before this
happened?

You all thought you were so cool.

So special.

Better than everybody else.

But now you know.

There's no point to it.

Because the truth is, any of us can die
at any moment.

Death gives life meaning.

Does it?

Does the fact that one of us is going to
die here today have a lot of meaning to

it? You don't know one of us is going to
die. One of us is going to die, and the

rest of us are going to live, and we get
to choose who gets sacrificed.

Damn it, Cody, just shut up. Hey, I
didn't make the rules.

You're making things worse. How can I
make things worse than they already are?

Look, I think we should refuse to vote.
Oh, yeah, that'd be a great idea.

Didn't you hear what that thing said?

If we don't all vote, we're all going to
die.

Then we'll all die.

My life is just getting started.

I don't want to die.

Me either.

Do you think I want to die?

I don't.

But I'm not going to vote for somebody
else to save my own skin.

Not even you.

There's, uh, no smoking in the hall.

That's a joke.

Could I even try one of those?

I thought smoking was ridiculous, but
this isn't so bad.

You're supposed to inhale.

Yeah, right.

No, no, I was right.

Smoking is ridiculous. Did you want
something?

I was just thinking about what you said
back there.

Uh, about life being absurd.

Is that what I said?

Yeah, you know, about everyone thinking
they're better than everyone else.

What's the point?

I think about what the point of
everything is, too, sometimes.

A lot, actually.

I thought you had faith in science.

Oh, I do.

I mean, science is great. Without math
and science, I don't know where I'd be.

It really bothers me when I can't make
logic out of something.

Man, you must really be going insane
then.

It's funny because you don't look like
you're going insane.

I'm not.

I mean, I'm worried, of course, like
everyone else.

What if this vote takes place?

You know, what if I'm the one who
everyone decides is expendable? Why

vote for you when they have me?

Well...

That's what I was kind of wondering
about You don't seem to want to try to

nice be nice So they won't vote for me
Something like that maybe they will vote

for me, but I'm ready See that's the
secret Jason

I'm ready now

leave me alone

It's time for you to cast your votes.

What if we refuse?

Your deaths

will not be pleasant.

Why are you doing this?

I owe you no explanation.

You will now vote for who will die or
all of you will die.

Brianna.

No. I won't do this.

How must you do this?

Brianna votes that all of you should
die.

Jason.

I can't do this.

Jason votes for all of you to die.

Ray.

I could vote for somebody.

But I won't.

Ray votes for all of you to die.

Daniel.

You're not going to really kill us, are
you? I assure you, I will.

Danielle. What?

No.

You refused to vote.

leave you guys what are you doing we're
doing what we think is right for you

maybe cody if you have ever felt
anything for anyone besides yourself

shut up well all of you just shut up
rest of us didn't say anything you must

vote four of you can live while one dies
or all of you can die

Now, you must live with it.

fell out of his hand.

A gun?

What's he doing with a gun? He had it in
his waistband. You had a gun this whole

time? Yeah, so what?

Oh, so what other surprises do you have?
Go get his backpack.

No.

I can't believe you had a gun this whole
time.

That's my stuff!

My yearbook pictures?

What's this?

Why are our pictures circled?

And a gun.

He had a gun!

What were you planning on doing?

Were you going to shoot us? I wasn't
going to shoot anybody.

The gun was for self -defense.

Look, I was going to use the gun on the
alien. No, no, you had this gun before

any of this happened.

Don't you get it?

He would have killed us.

If I didn't vote for Brianna, you and
you and you would be dead right now.

You hate me now, but someday you'll
thank me. You made a list.

That was a joke, a game.

A game?

Look, I circled your pictures in the
yearbook because I resented you guys.

You all walk around school thinking
you're so damn cool.

You think that I think I'm cool? You
think you're smarter than everyone else.

That's a way of thinking you're cool,
right?

And you.

I asked you out once.

You remember what you did?

You laughed in my face.

You remember that?

And you and your football buddies, you
pick on me every chance you get. No, no,

it's because you don't know how to keep
your mouth shut.

Every day some jerk of a jock thinks
it's really cool to impress some other

of a jock by making me feel like
nothing.

Every day I go to school and my life
feels more and more like a living hell.

A couple of weeks ago, I was having a
really bad day.

I got pissed off.

So I circled your pictures in the
yearbook, and I tore the pages out.

So then you brought a gun to school and
just waited for just the right time?

No!

No, I never would have done anything.

Look, I haven't done anything.

You haven't done anything?

What about Brianna? I don't know.

What did she ever do to you?

Nothing. She didn't do anything.

We went out once.

It was a disaster.

I didn't realize how spiritual she was.
I made fun of her.

But she didn't get angry. She didn't
fight back.

As the night wore on, I couldn't stand
her.

I couldn't understand how anyone could
look at this world and see anything good

in it.

We should have voted for you.

Do you really hate us all that much? No,
I don't hate you. Yes, you do.

You don't get it.

You're the reason we're here.

No, no, don't try and blame this on me.
That thing knew that you had our

pictures circled on those pages. No,
this is not my fault. Rihanna's not your

fault? Us being duck here's not your
fault? Look, he said the rest of us

be let go, returned to our normal lives.

Do you see him?

We made our decision, and now we're
going to have to live with it. Look,

everyone acts in their own self
-interest. That's the way this world

here, Cody.

Here you had a chance to rise above all
that.

And you failed.

All right, so I failed.

So I screwed up.

This is me, Cody Phillips. The jerk, the
a -hole, the guy who always screws up,

remember?

For as long as I can remember,
everyone's always tried to blame

me, even when I hadn't done anything.

Mom, Dad, my teachers, my so -called
friends.

If something was missing or broken or
hadn't been done, it must be Cody's

I mean, when did everybody get together
and put me on trial and decide that I

was guilty?

I tried to talk to a couple people about
it, and you know what?

Nobody cared.

I was already branded.

Everybody wanted me to keep being the a
-hole so they could keep picking on me.

Why is that?

Why do people need to feel superior to
other people?

I don't know, man. I've never been able
to figure it out.

So I decided if everyone was going to
keep picking on me, I might as well give

them a reason to pick on me.

Nobody cares. Trust me.

Nobody in this world gives a damn.

So why should I?

That's when I started to run my mouth.
And you know what? I'm not going to

I can't stop because you guys won't let
me stop.

So why don't you use that gun?

Put me out of my misery.

Go ahead, pull the trigger.

You can do it.

I'm so tired of being me anyways.

I don't want to kill you, Cody.

I don't want to kill anyone.

You know, people pick on me too.

But... This... And you know, if I did

laugh in your face the one time you
asked me out, you need to forgive

me.

I'm trapped in a role just like you are.

But I'm not going to go get a gun and
start shooting people.

There has to be a better way.

Wait a minute.

This wasn't the deal.

You said the four of us who were left
would be returned to our normal lives.

Then yeah.

Right. Jesus.

Damn you. You lied to me.

You hear me? You lied to me.

Where are you?

What are you going to do?

You're going to leave me here to rot?

What do you want from me?

Huh?

What does anybody want from me?

Nobody. Nobody wants anything.

Nobody. Nobody wants me.

Nobody wants me.

Nobody. Nobody.

Nobody wants me.

I'm so sorry.

I didn't know what I was doing.

That's no excuse, I know.

If I could do something, anything to
bring you back, I would.

Perhaps it's not too late.

Daniel was right.

with the reason this experiment was
conducted.

Why?

Because the day was coming when you
would have pointed that gun at your

students. No, I don't believe that, no.

In the fit of rage, a human is capable
of anything.

Fortunately, not all the patterns of
behavior you fall into are permanent.

You have shown here that you are still
capable of change.

I don't understand I think you do

I'd love to burn up in search I

try to find out what it feels like

dead in the center of the below

waiting for something to be my hero

In the chapel, in the steeple, in the

window, there's a people.

In the shelter, in the fallout,

now what happened?

Our faith is gold.

We sleep with the light on.

Monday is gone.

Cody, something I can do for you.

In an ever more complex and dangerous
world, vigilance and guidance is needed

for those most vulnerable to its
cruelties.

Our children.
