- Hey! Hey!

- Janet! Janet!

- [ Grunts, Screams ]

- Okay, what the hell

was that out there?

Active Denial System.

It transmits

high-intensity microwaves.

[ Renbe ]

How do you guys come up

with child abandonment?

There's something bigger

going on here.

- Mommy, where are you?

- Who is this?

- He's one of them.

- I'm just the same as you.

I shoot this guy

and I go free?

I leave this place.

I get my daughter back.

- Mom?

- [ Gunshot ]

We are not a bunch

of rats in a maze!

We're human beings.

[ Grunting ]

- [ Camera Whirring ]

- [ Grunts ]

- [ Panting ]

- We're almost there.

How's our direction?

Still due north.

Just... keep digging.

Every bucket that we move--

[ Bill Groans ]

is a bucket closer to--

Yeah. Closer to getting

back home.

You've been saying that

for a week.

Well, I still don't get it.

There's a field of microwaves?

It's the pain gun.

[ Joe ]

There you go.

[ Grunts ]

Flashlight?

[ Groans ]

Thanks.

Yeah.

We're almost to 20 feet.

Nineteen feet, two inches.

- [ Groans ]

- Keep going!

Here!

[ Metallic Thud ]

- What is that?

- [ Bill ]

What the hell is that?

[ Clanks ]

A steel--

A steel barrier.

- What?

- It's a wall.

[ Strikes Wall ]

[ Bill ]

What are we gonna do?

- [ Siren Blaring ]

- What the hell is that?

[ Metal Scraping ]

[ Siren Continues ]

[ Joe ]

Hey.

[ Bill ] What is that?

- Hey! Hey!

- Oh, my God!

- [ All Clamoring ]

- Everybody out!

Go, go! Go on!

- Come on!

- Let's go!

Come on!

[ Coughing ]

[ Joe ]

Come on, Janet!

Hurry up.

Hurry up. Come on!

Janet!

Janet!

[ Coughing ]

- Come on, come on!

- [ McNair ] Stay with me!

Stay with me!

- Oh, thank God!

- Oh, please.

[ Groaning, Yelling ]

[ All Coughing ]

Joe. Joe--

She's not breathing.

Janet!

Janet! Janet!

[ Gagging, Coughing ]

There has got to be

a way out of this place.

Maybe there isn't.

We're screwed.

Don't say that.

Hey.

We spent a week

digging that

freakin' tunnel.

To be fumigated

like cockroaches.

They stopped us

aboveground, belowground.

- Unless you can freakin' fly--

- What? So what?

You're all just gonna give up?

We're screwed.

We are screwed.

We're screwed.

- Just shut up!

- Hey, hey! Hey, stop it!

Enough!

Enough.

We're gonna

get out of this.

Okay? Together.

[ Voice Filtered ]

I promise.

I will get back

to my daughter.

I will.

I'm sorry.

I was wrong to yell at you.

Maybe we've all

been wrong.

What do you mean?

We've been trying so hard

to escape.

Maybe we need to work harder

not escaping.

- Not escaping?

- Help "help" find us.

- Help "help" like, uh--

- Like a signal fire.

A signal fire.

- [ Moira ] Yeah.

- A signal fire!

The bigger the better.

Okay, we need to gather--

Ha!

We need to gather everything in

this town that will burn, okay?

Okay.

All right!

- All right.

- Let's go.

So I'm waiting

at the Metro Restaurant.

[ Clears Throat ]

Oh, geez.

Yeah. There's a table for two,

reservations under your name.

- I don't know what to say.

- Well, say that you were

interviewing...

that serial killer suspect

or that star of the cannibal

reality show.

Actually, I'm-- I'm back

on the missing mommy story.

You said

you were off that story.

It's taken a major turn.

Janet's mother

abused her as a child.

Now Grandma

has got Janet's child.

Abuse does have a nasty

front page ring to it.

- Who's your source?

- Well, it's, um--

He's-- It's complicated.

But it is

a front page story.

Not without a body.

Do me a favor.

Find me the sleaze

on the story tomorrow.

- I can do that.

- Or you're off

this story tomorrow.

I can do that.

Whoo-hoo! Looking good.

Did you find those clothes

in your room?

Yeah.

Me too.

You know what

these last few days

have taught me?

Um, that working out

might not be such a bad idea.

Ah, we need

to live every moment

like it's our last.

Well, that makes sense

with your age.

[ Chuckling ]

That's good.

Oh! Security!

Perv alert, aisle five.

Aw, come on now.

Don't be afraid of a real man.

Been there.

Really?

Sadly, for you,

those days are over.

They don't have to be.

Hey! Hey!

- [ Groaning ]

- [ Grunting ]

[ Sharp Groan ]

I have intimacy issues

that can sometimes result in

inappropriate violent outbursts.

Yeah. My therapist doesn't think

I'm making progress.

[ Groans, Coughs ]

- [ Charlie ] She hit you

with a shopping cart?

- Tori's one crazy bitch.

Oh, there ought to be a lot

to burn in here, huh?

Stamps and stamp books

and catalogs--

Maybe you should be looking

for some self-defense items.

You think

they're going to attack us?

Maybe.

Or maybe one of us.

One of us?

Look at my eye, bud.

These people

can't be trusted.

Plus, it's always

the rich who get shanked

by the inmates.

[ Snickering ]

- Well, maybe I can find

some stuff in here.

- Yeah.

[ Buzzing ]

- [ Man ]

Hi, baby.

- [ Chuckles ]

What?

[ Woman Moaning ]

- [ Moaning Continues ]

- What the hell?

Oh!

What's wrong?

Uh, nothing.

Exactly. There's nothing

in there but kids' toys

and trading stamps.

Come on.

[ Joe Coughs ]

Come on.

Let's light this thing.

[ Joe ]

It's not lighting.

What is this?

Come on!

- It's not lighting!

- [ Moira ]

Why isn't it working?

Anything?

What's up? God!

What's going on?

[ Tori ] What is wrong

with this stuff?

This sucks.

It's like somebody

doused everything

with flame retardant.

[ Rotors Beating ]

Oh, my God. Hey--

Hey, look, you guys!

[ Moira ]

Helicopter.

Hey!

- Hey!

- Over here!

[ All Shouting ]

Yes!

[ Laughs ]

[ Laughing, Whooping ]

Hey, hey, hey!

Take cover!

- Take cover!

- [ Tori Screams ]

[ Helicopter Departing ]

Wait. McNair,

what are you doing?

What is it?

- [ Loud Bang ]

- [ Screaming, Yelling ]

You all right?

You all right?

Are you okay?

What hurts? What hurts?

Yeah, I'm all right.

I'm all right.

I'm all right.

Come on, get up.

[ Moira ]

What's in it?

[ Softly ] I don't know.

Careful.

It may be hot.

Is it hot?

[ Shudders ]

- [ Charlie ]

What are they?

- [ Janet ] Boxes.

[ Charlie ]

What's in yours?

Mine's empty.

Oh, geez.

What the hell?

Damn.

I got one.

[ McNair ]

I got one too.

Three gas masks.

Leaves four of us dead.

I hate this place.

[ Box Clanging ]

We should all

choose partners.

Okay.

Suppose we choose partners.

What happens to the partner

without the mask

if the gas begins to flow?

It depends on the type of gas

and level of exposure.

Could be fatal.

Here.

- You should have this.

- Really?

- Thank you.

- Hey! Why her?

Put it on like this.

I need a mask.

My daughter's all alone--

Hey!

and I'm all she's got.

Your abandoned daughter story,

while poignant and touching,

is not enough to move me

to give you my mask.

How dare you!

This is not a story.

This is--

How dare you think

that you're...

the only one

with family out there?

What if you

had gotten the mask

and I didn't,

and I proceeded

to tell you

about my wife?

Bedridden, suffering from

painful metastatic tumors,

counting on me

for her every need.

Would you give me your mask?

- [ Clears Throat ]

- Hey. I thought you were

the night manager.

I've been promoted.

Oh, really?

You got a gas mask?

No, sir.

But... help yourself

to a complimentary umbrella.

What?

Then we search the town

for stuff to protect us.

We're not dead yet.

Let's go.

I'd like to help too,

if that's okay.

[ McNair ]

Thanks.

[ Bell Clanging ]

[ Edick ]

Two things, Renbe.

One--

Never bring

a bat to a gunfight.

[ Pistol Cocks ]

[ Bat Hits Floor ]

And two--

there's no story

with Janet's disappearance.

If there's no story--

They want me to kill you.

But I told 'em...

that you work

in the gutter.

And that you really

understand how cheap...

human life

can really be.

And that you'd listen

to reason.

Besides, who's gonna

take over your column?

That story

about the conjoined twins...

running that

white slavery ring?

That was friggin' amazing.

- Do you got a laptop

in there?

- No.

I'm sorry? What?

No.

[ Groans ]

- [ Coughing ]

- Looks like a laptop to me.

[ Mumbling ]

Oh, God.

Hey.

[ Groaning ]

Don't make me

find you again.

Do you understand?

- [ Bottle Shatters ]

- [ Coughing ]

Hey, you in there?

Charlie!

I need to ask you a question.

[ Door Opens ]

[ Charlie ]

You cannot have

my gas mask.

All right.

I had a crazy dream.

Oh!

A dream?

I'm asleep,

but I feel this presence.

So I open my eyes,

and I'm back

in my bedroom--

at home.

[ Laughs ]

The weird thing is...

you were there,

carrying a big pillow.

You looked like

you were crying.

So, you know, I asked you,

"Hey, what's the matter?"

[ Laughs ]

Guess what you do?

You jam the pillow

in my face.

It's like you're-you're

trying to kill me.

I'm struggling

and I'm suffocating,

and just as

I'm running out of air,

I wake up.

[ Laughs ]

For real.

I mean, why would I dream

that you're a killer?

I don't know.

[ Sighs ]

[ Woman Moaning ]

[ Sobbing ]

[ Bill ]

Can you imagine

what it would be like to...

be smothered to death

by somebody you know?

You know,

that burning feeling

in your lungs as--

as you run out of air

and you slowly lose

consciousness.

Hey, uh, you want me

to lock your door for ya?

[ Moira ]

You really think

you can find something...

that'll save you

from a gas attack?

Gonna try.

Been in worse situations.

I was a guard

at a military prison...

that held terrorist suspects.

The things I saw there were--

I wasn't even...

practicing my faith

when I arrived there.

By the time I left,

I was devout.

Islam--

[ Exhales ]

gave me clarity.

Well, I could use

some clarity right now.

Maybe you could

teach me something.

Yeah, maybe I could.

Hello?

Anyone there?

Hello?

[ Scraping ]

[ Rattling ]

Who's there?

[ Camera Whirring ]

[ Clattering ]

- Who the hell's back there?

- Oh, no!

Hey, hey, hey!

Don't sneak up

on people like that.

Sneak?

Did you not hear me?

No.

What the hell

are you doing back here?

Finding treasure.

I haven't had

one of these

since I was a kid.

Mmm. Mm-mmm.

Looks like you broke

one of the 10 commandments.

Thou shalt not covet

thy neighbor's gas mask.

- Yeah, well,

you broke one too.

- Which one?

- Thou shalt not be an ass.

- [ Alarm Buzzes ]

- [ Gasps ]

- Oh, no! No.

- [ Sirens Blaring ]

- [ Groaning ]

Unlock the door,

you bastards!

I can hear gas.

I can hear gas.

- I can't breathe!

- Charlie,

just get a grip, okay?

- You're the one

with the mask.

- You're right. Okay.

I'm okay.

There's no indication

that there's any gas yet.

- Oh, no!

- No!

We're gonna die!

Get off me!

Get off! Get off!

- Grab that! Grab that!

- What?

Okay.

[ Coughing ]

Janet!

Janet!

[ Coughing ]

Janet?

Janet? Janet, hey.

- [ Lock Clicks ]

- Oh!

[ Grunts ]

[ Panting ]

[ Gasping ]

[ Coughs ]

There's no gas out here.

Why?

[ Janet ] You must be so

comfortable, sitting

up there on your fat asses,

filling this town with gas!

Making us go crazy!

You think it's funny?

Huh?

[ Camera Whirring ]

Maybe you get off on it.

Do you have a thing for torture?

You get all hot and bothered?

You want to see

something really hot?

Come close to the screen.

[ Glass Shatters ]

[ Electrical Sizzling ]

One camera down,

a few thousand to go.

Yeah, whatever.

It felt good.

[ Exhales ]

My eyes hurt,

my skin tingles,

and I feel like I'm on fire.

That gas had a high level

of toxicity.

You're lucky you got out

of the store when you did.

It was horrible.

Yeah, it was.

At least you saw it coming.

There are some gases

you can't see?

Nitrous, methane, propane.

There are dozens of gases

that are invisible

to the naked eye.

What are we gonna do?

We?

What are you worried about?

Hey, she was just trying

to be supportive.

Just because we have gas masks

and you don't...

doesn't mean we can't have

some level of empathy

for your predicament.

Sure.

Okay, look.

We're not dead yet.

We've got this stuff.

Yeah. Heavy rain gear

for the body.

Yeah, and we've got

paint masks and goggles

and construction helmets and--

[ Exhales ]

We are so dead.

- [ Janet ]

We're not dead.

- Look, I'm just saying.

- Well, could you "just say"

somewhere else?

- Oh, fine!

Sorry I brought up reality!

Where did you learn

St. Mary's.

Mental hospital.

I was an orphan,

and the state orphanages

were terrifying.

Anyway,

I cried all the time,

and they sent me

to St. Mary's

for observation.

And the doctors there

were really kind.

It was the first time

in my life

I ever felt safe,

I had to convince them

- Hey.

- Hey.

I've been looking for you.

Here I am.

You know,

my wife was gravely ill

for a number of years.

Yeah, I heard you

mention her cancer.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Thank you.

And, um--

And-- And...

you get to a point

where you realize...

that all the money

in the world...

won't help someone you love

who's in pain.

Is that why

you smothered her?

What? Wait. What?

Why would you say that?

I saw it on TV--

in the TV repair store.

What you need to understand

is that my wife

was desperately ill.

Yeah. "All the money

in the world can't help

someone you love in pain."

You said that.

It's very convincing.

Very convincing?

Hey. You know what?

Don't sweat it.

[ Door Opens ]

I found one tub of ice cream

and one spoon.

Thank you.

[ Chuckles ]

Cherries Jubilee.

My favorite.

For real. Yeah.

After every single--

Every one

of my little league games,

my dad would, uh--

He would take me for a scoop

of Cherries Jubilee.

Sweet memory.

Not really.

We'd sit and we'd

have our ice cream,

and then he'd--

He'd list every one

of my mistakes.

Well, it could have

been worse.

You could've had

a lowlife father,

who abandoned a pregnant wife

and has never even met his kid,

like my daughter Megan.

So the fact

that your dad was...

at those games for you

is a big deal.

Look at all these happy--

[ Sighs ]

[ Megan's Voice ]

Mommy!

It can't be.

[ Joe ]

What, Janet?

It's Megan and my mother.

It can't be.

It's impossible.

I know. I know.

But it is! That--

It's Megan.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Hey. Hey.

Where are you going?

Janet, wait. Wait, wait, wait.

[ Bill ]

What's up?

I need that mask!

Give it to me!

[ Joe ]

Whoa!

Don't do this.

Don't do this.

[ Bill ]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Come here. Look at yourself.

I want you to look at yourself.

Look at yourself.

Look at what

they've done.

[ Panting ]

[ Grunts ]

Look.

Don't let them win.

But I--

- But I--

- It's all right.

It's all right.

Come here. It's okay.

[ Sobs ]

Shh. It's okay.

It's okay.

Hey, look.

Janet has just

completely lost it.

She's a freak.

[ Joe ]

Shh. Here she comes.

I bet I can guess

who you're discussing.

Look, I don't know

what to say

except I'm sorry.

I've never done anything

like that before in my life.

Well, it's not entirely

your fault.

We're being held hostage

by an invisible enemy...

using psychological warfare

to break us down.

- Things are only gonna

get worse.

- Oh, yeah.

[ Siren Blaring ]

Oh, God.

[ Bill ]

My God!

You can help us!

Hey!

Hey, there! Open up!

Come on!

We gotta--

We gotta get out of here!

We need air!

It won't open.

[ Bill ]

Oh, God!

- Hey!

- Oh, God!

God.

Oh, no.

Hey, you're not going anywhere,

you little dick!

You bastard!

[ Groaning ]

Get off of me!

Hey, guy!

Open this door!

You bastard.

Take this thing off!

No!

Buddy, take it off!

Get it off!

- Get it off.

- [ Groans ]

- [ Laughs ]

- Hey! Hey! Give it back!

You give it back!

[ Bill Groans ]

Take it!

- Oh, God. Take it!

It won't come off!

Well, I guess that's

too bad for me.

- It's not toxic.

- It's not?

- The gas isn't toxic!

I can't breathe!

- I can't breathe.

- Hey! Hey, help!

Stay calm now.

Stay calm.

Get it off me!

Get it off of me!

God! Get it--

Get it off!

- [ Joe ]

It's glued on.

- Here. Here.

Here.

Just cut-- Just cut it.

Right here.

It won't come off.

[ Coughing ]

It's like it's glued

or something.

- [ Gasping ]

- Breathe.

[ Coughing ]

You're all right.

Breathe.

[ Groaning ]

Is everybody all right?

Breathe. Breathe.

- Deep breaths.

- [ Coughing ]

You're all right.

Relax.

God help us.

[ Speaking Arabic ]

[ Whispering ]

Oh, man.

Oh, man. Whoa.

[ Hawks, Spits ]

Oh, hey.

Oh, look. Uh--

I think I owe you an apology.

I guess you do.

Yeah.

Got a little insane

back there.

You got insane.

Yeah, well--

A man's gotta do

what a man's gotta do.

That's always been my motto.

Yeah, well,

do unto others--

That's one of my mottoes.

That's interesting,

considering the whole

"murdering your wife" thing.

You think you've got

all the answers.

No. But I can tell

when someone's lying.

You think I'm lying

about my wife?

I think you believe

everything you told me.

I just don't think

it's the truth.

You're not really

a car salesman,

are you, Mr. Blackham?

No, I'm not.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Bell Dings ]

- Where you headed?

- To eat.

- Shanghai Palace?

- Again.

We can't escape

to find help.

No.

And we can't

draw help to us here, so--

What do we do?

What do we do?

Maybe the way out

is the way through.

Which means what?

It means...

that we ride it out.

Yeah.

We ride it out to the end.

No.

The way through

is acting like a shark.

Shark?

Show no emotion.

Show no weakness.

Munch your enemies.

As long as you know

who your enemies really are.

Compliments

of the Shanghai Palace.

Good luck.

No.

Here you make your own luck.

[ Gomez ]

Not interested.

Robert, buddy,

you don't even know

what I've got.

It's Detective Gomez,

and I know what you got.

It's confidential.

It'll solve

my toughest case.

It'll cost me a C-note.

After you leave,

I'll have to fumigate

the precinct.

I can't speak

to your insect issues,

but I can solve

the Janet Cooper

disappearance case gratis.

I've located

your primary suspect, pal.

Janet's ex-husband--

You know, the dirt bag

that abandoned his

pregnant wife?

And you know,

it's a funny thing.

He works less

than five miles from here.

Cooper's here?

In San Francisco?

Yeah. Only his name's

not Cooper.

And you're welcome.
