[footsteps]

THE OFFICIATOR: The next round's for ten million dollars.

-No. Please no more.

Please just stop.

THE OFFICIATOR: You're gonna have to speak up, Josh.

It's really hard to understand you.

Ah. Tell me.

[Josh mumbles]

THE OFFICIATOR: My bad.

Let's skip the discussion stage, shall we?

See what your family members have to say.

-[cries]

THE OFFICIATOR: So, you all know the rules by now.

Everybody loses another eye,

or you save yourself and your loved one

and kill your friend's family member instead.

But if you both choose blue, both your family members die.

Anything you'd like to add?

-It's okay, Josh. Just choose red and

let's all walk out of here together.

THE OFFICIATOR: That's time. How dull.

-Dean, fucker.

I'm your blood. Press blue.

Don't [indistinct] me.

THE OFFICIATOR: Saving yourself; a man after my own heart.

Gentleman, time to make your decision.

[suspenseful music playing]

[birds chirping]

[Dean's family member panting]

[suspenseful music playing]

[button alarm sounding]

THE OFFICIATOR: Reveal your choices in three, two, one.

[light bulb buzzes]

-No.

No!

No! [cries]

[Dean cries]

-[Josh cries]

-[choking]

-[cries]

-Oh, God. No.

No, you fucking bitch!

You fucking bitch.

[gun fired]

-[waves crashing] -[seagulls calling]

[gentle music playing]

[distant siren wailing]

[gentle music continues]

-Nine-hour flight

just so you lot can stare at your phone some more.

You might as well have stayed in England.

-I thought you said no work?

-I'm not.

-So who are you messaging?

-Kate, come on.

I'm just trying to find some decent places

for us to eat.

-You're just like your mother.

She used to pre-plan ahead

whenever I took you boys on holiday as kids.

Remember those itineraries she used to print out?

HENRY: Could this hotel be any further away

from the airport?

Feel like I've been on this bus my entire life.

-All right, bruv.

I win us a holiday, and you're still complaining.

Feel free to get off the bus.

-Even if I was an afterthought.

-You know, my mum always used to say

those games ruin your life.

-Yeah?

Well, we're on our way to a five-star villa

because of this game so your mum can fuck off.

-Oh, my god.

You're [indistinct].

[bus engine revving]

[birds chirping]

[somber music playing]

[footsteps]

-"To our competition winner:

"We would like to invite you

"and a member of your party of your choosing

"to attend a special meeting tomorrow at 12.

"We do hope you can make it.

"Kind regards from everyone at Devrow Games.

Enjoy your stay." All right, then.

-So how long till it comes in?

-The money? Not long.

Like two, three months maybe.

-But you already have the other investor

on board, right? -Yeah.

Yeah, we just need to sign off on the paperwork

and then they'll release the money.

-Well... I look forward to

being spoilt when that comes in.

KATE: You can't expect me to just be okay

after what happened.

ANDY: We have to at least try.

KATE: I'm here, aren't I?

ANDY: But what good is that if you're going to give me

the cold shoulder all the time?

KATE: Maybe I should go sleeping around

with someone at work? Help me get over it!

ANDY: Hey.

-[chuckles] Talk about a mood killer.

[laughs]

Ah.

Before I forget, we need to look at the spa menu.

They said they get really busy

so we should book something.

-Yeah. Fine.

[footsteps receding]

-How long was he cheating?

-Oh, I've got no idea.

-Did you know her?

-Uh, yeah. I met her a couple of times.

-Did Kate know her?

-I don't know.

But I mean, he's sorry and it's over now.

I don't know why we all keep talking about it.

-Sorry he got caught more like.

How long have they been together?

-Him and Kate? Long time.

Um, nine, ten years maybe.

-Wow.

Just proves you never really know someone.

Did she want kids with him?

-I don't know.

-My mum always used to say,

"You want to keep a man on your side,

tell him you want his babies."

-Is that right? Well...

HEATHER: [laughs] Uh...

[mouths] No.

-What?

[birds chirping]

[claps hands]

[birds chirping]

[door opens, closes]

[soft music playing]

ANDY: Don't you need those?

-I just... -What?

-I just want to feel something for a change.

-Tell me what I can do.

-I just don't trust anything you say anymore.

-I deserve that....

Look at me.

Please.

I will never lie to you again.

[soft music continues]

[crickets chirping]

[distant bird calling]

[distant waves crashing]

-So, we heard you guys arguing yesterday.

-Oh, wow. Erm, sorry about that.

I guess we're going through some stuff.

-They are all the same.

Well, except for Jude.

-Oh, yes.

Jude is definitely one of a kind.

-[chuckles]

-How long have you and him been together now?

-Uh...

coming up to four months now I think.

JUDE: Look at it...

stunning.

ANDY: Yeah. Something else.

JUDE: Mm.

You know what the best part is?

It's all for fucking free.

Aah. -ANDY[beers clink]hat.

-Mm. Oh, mate. I really like Heather.

I know I say it every time but she's so chill.

And, mate, the sex...

-Dude.

-...is fucking disgusting. [laughs]

-Look, I'm happy for you.

I mean it.

JUDE: Thanks, man.

Mm. Look, with you and Kate.

Just so you know, if you want to talk, I'm here.

That's what I'm gonna say.

-Thanks, man.

But I get it from her perspective.

-Yeah, I mean, you did the crime.

-I'm definitely doing the time.

-[Jude laughs]

Where's your dad, by the way?

-Uh, he's probably reading in the shade somewhere,

knowing him.

Listen, I didn't get a chance to say thank you properly.

-JUDE: Mm. -For inviting him, I mean.

Since Mum died, it's been, um...it's been tough.

-Yeah, I get it.

Look, man, no worries. I was happy to do it.

They're like family to me.

Unfortunately, so is he.

ANDY: Oh, what the fuck.

JUDE: Ugh...

what a dick.

-I'm surprised you invited him.

-Yeah, well, I kind of owed him.

He lent me money last year

and I'm still waiting for everything to come through

with the business, so.

-But I thought you had investors.

-Oh yeah.

No, no, that was nothing to do with the company.

That's a whole other thing in and of itself.

-You're not gambling again, are you?

-No.

-How much do you owe him?

-Nine grand. -[Andy scoffs]

-Hey, look. Do me a favor.

Don't mention anything to Heather.

We're not at that point where I'm quite comfortable

letting her know about my finances yet.

-Sure.

-I know everyone thinks that I'm a gold digger.

-That's not true.

-Mm.

His brother literally said it to me on the plane.

-Oh, wow. Ugh.

Well, Henry is...

-A dick.

Yeah.

I don't care.

I've never really felt like this about a guy before.

And I know he is not perfect, but...

I kind of think he could be.

You know, like a fixer-upper.

-Well, I guess it's true what they say.

There really is someone out there for everyone.

-Hm.

[birds chirping]

-Look-- look. I'm sorry, I can't help out.

If Kate decides to divorce me, then I'm gonna--

JUDE: Mate, she's not gonna divorce you.

-You think? -No.

You've been together since college.

She loves you.

You just need to give her time to calm down.

Trust me.

-Love you, man.

[beer mugs clink]

-I love you too. -[Andy laughs]

-All right, hurry up. We've got a meeting to get to.

-ANDY: A meeting? -Mm-hm.

Company I won the holiday off

left a note in my room to attend a secret meeting.

You're coming with.

-What do they want?

-Give me a prize for awesomeness probably.

-[Andy laughs] -That's what I reckon.

Come on. -ANDY: Mm.

Then let's hit that prize of awesomeness.

[breeze blowing]

[bus engine revving]

[birds calling]

[animal howling]

[intense music playing]

[birds chirping]

JUDE: Yeah. [indistinct].

-Hello. -JUDE: Hi.

-Oh, please sit down.

Sit. [laughs]

Jude.

Well, you're even more handsome in person.

And you are?

-I'm Andy.

JUDE: Sorry, this is my mate.

-Andy, lovely to meet you.

Please, these are for you.

-Thank you.

THE OFFICIATOR: Thank you for joining us today.

JUDE: No worries. I mean, you paid for it.

-Well, you earned it.

-Mm. I'm sorry, you are?

-My apologies.

I'm an Officiator for the app that Jude has been playing.

And I'd like to say how impressed we are

with your performance, Jude.

[laughs]

Which is why we've asked you here today.

We'd like to offer you the opportunity to level up

in an exclusive game played here in person

for the pleasure of our top-tier patrons.

Except this time, you'll need a partner to play with.

-Well, hold on.

There's a level up from winning a holiday?

-You'll be in line to take home 20 million dollars.

-[scoffs] I'm sorry, did you just say 20--?

-Million.

-Well, fuck me. [laughs]

-She's messing with us.

You're messing with us, right?

-I mean, well, we are a gaming company.

That's what we do. We mess with people.

-[Jude laughs]

Uh, what do we have to do?

-It's basically the same as the games on the app,

except this time, it'd be live for our patrons.

-And we both play?

-You both play.

-Yeah, but what's the catch?

-Smart man.

Yes, there's always a catch, isn't there?

Such is life.

We want to make sure that once you start playing,

you finish the game.

So, we ask that you be bound to the table.

-What does that mean? Like handcuffed?

-Sort of.

It's just a technicality, really.

You know, our investors put a lot on the line

to make all of this happen,

so we can't start the game unless we're sure

you're gonna see it through.

-No, no, no, no, no. Fuck that.

-Whoa, whoa, no, no. Hold on. Hold on.

Hold on. Yeah, sorry.

We're-- we're interested. We are.

Uh, yeah.

No, we just need to iron out the details.

-Suddenly you're my manager?

-Mate, calm down. It's fine.

THE OFFICIATOR: How about this?

We give you the first round relatively risk-free.

And if after that, you don't wish to continue,

you can leave the table and walk away.

-When would we play?

-Tomorrow.

Some of my crew members would come pick you up at nine.

-Kate wants to do a hike tomorrow.

-Mate, it's 20 million dollars.

Buy her a mountain. She can hike whenever.

Come on.

Andy.

-It's risk-free.

-Okay.

-Yeah?

-ANDY: Yes. -Yeah, big man. Yeah.

-Wonderful. My producers will be so happy.

JUDE: Mm.

-[chuckles] [sighs]

We are so excited to see what you bring to the table.

Enjoy.

-Thank you.

-Kate is gonna kill me.

-No, she's not, mate,

'cause you're gonna be a millionaire.

A millionaire! [laughs] Mwah.

Yes, yes, yes.

[exhales] She was quite hot.

By the way, I'm gonna drink yours.

[gulps]

[crickets chirping]

[bird calling]

[wind blowing wildly]

[tense music playing]

ANDY: Where'd you come from?

No.

JUDE: Sure you don't want a drink?

ANDY: I'm sure.

JUDE: Calm your nerves.

[tense music playing]

How'd you--?

Weird.

Guess I wasn't supposed to drink that then.

[suspenseful music]

[suspenseful drum beating]

-[chuckles]

Good morning, gentlemen.

JUDE: Morning.

-I'm glad to see that neither of you

had a change of heart during the night.

-No chance.

-And you?

-If he's happy, I'm happy.

THE OFFICIATOR: Spoken like a true friend.

Hold on to that.

Please, let me show you the set.

-You can show us the money.

[wind blowing gently]

[suspenseful drum beating]

-Here we are.

[chuckles] Please.

Have a seat.

All right.

So, I've been asked to oversee a game

we're calling "Us or Them."

It's a variation of the prisoner's dilemma.

A paradox in decision analysis

in which two individuals are asked to make a decision

in their own self-interest

in order to produce an optimal outcome.

Now, eventually, you'll get the chance

to split a huge sum of money.

But until then, Andy, we promised you yesterday

that you'll get the chance to do one round

and if after that, you don't wish to continue,

you can walk away.

Now this first free round is worth 10,000 dollars.

-Ten grand just for showing up, mate.

-The rules are pretty simple.

In front of you, you have two buttons,

one red and one blue.

If both of you pick the red button,

you get an equal share of the 10,000 dollars.

If one of you picks red and one of you picks blue,

then the blue player gets the full sum of

money and the red player is in debt to the company

for that same amount.

Now if you both pick the blue, then you both get nothing

and you're both in debt 10,000 dollars.

You will be given an allocated period of time

to discuss before making your decision.

Do you both understand?

-I have a question, actually.

-Yeah.

-Why?

-Well, I think obviously,

they make money if we don't agree.

It's like casino rules.

It's us versus the house.

-Sure. But who's it for?

-For those who watch.

-Those who watch.

That's not really much of an answer, is it?

-Look, I would love to answer all your questions,

but we are on a bit of a time crunch here.

So, if you don't mind, let's begin.

ANDY: Um...

Well, obviously we just press red.

-Right. It's straightforward.

-Simple enough.

JUDE: Yeah. I told you, mate.

These things are all about strategy.

We play the game, and the money is ours.

-I guess the idea is as the money gets bigger,

we get greedy and try and shaft each other?

-Exactly, which we're not going to do.

-Good.

-And now we wait.

-Yeah. Do we have to wait?

Can't we just press now?

-I'm afraid not.

There's a process to the way things unravel

so we just have to be patient.

[time ticking]

-Easiest ten grand I ever made.

-Five grand.

-Yes, mate. Calm down.

[chuckles]

What?

-I just remembered. You owe Henry nine thousand.

-And?

-That's a pretty good reason for you to press blue

is all I was thinking.

-Fuck off, Andy. As if.

-What?

-Mate, are you serious?

-Yes, I am serious.

I can't afford to be in ten grand's worth of debt

over a stupid game.

-Man, how long have we known each other?

-Exactly. I know what you're like.

I'm just saying.

-What are you saying?

-Forget it.

-No, no. Go on. Say it.

-Stop it.

-Ask me, mate. -ANDY: No.

-Ask me.

-Are you going to press the blue button or not?

-Fuck off, you dickhead. I wouldn't do that to you.

You're a dickhead for even suggesting it.

[laughs]

And to be fair, you've got the track record

for that sort of thing.

-What sort of thing?

-[laughs] All right, this is getting silly now.

Come on. We're both gonna press red.

It's all good.

-Are you making a dig at the fling I had?

-I mean, it was hardly a fling, was it, bro?

-Like you've never messed around.

-I haven't.

-That's a lie.

I'm not judging, I'm just saying.

-Yeah?

Maybe you don't know me as well as you think you do.

-Don't I?

-[laughs] All right, let's not be dicks about this.

You're gonna press red. I'm gonna press red.

It's all good.

Sorry, mate.

I shouldn't brought up the affair--fling.

Fling. That was bang out of order.

-You better press red.

-I will.

How much longer do we have to wait?

-Not much longer.

-Look, man. I'm...I'm sorry.

-Good, because I'm literally your only friend.

-[laughs] He's-- he's not my only friend.

He's-- he's not my only friend.

-I am. I really am his only friend.

Trust me. Even his mum prefers me. [laughs]

-Preferred.

-Yeah. Sorry, man.

-It's all right, mate.

-Okay.

That should do it.

Gentlemen, make your decision.

[timer ticking]

[button alarm sounding]

[button alarm sounding]

[distant bird calling]

[suspenseful drum beating]

In three...

two...

one.

[light bulb buzzes]

Both chose red.

Congratulations, gentlemen.

Five thousand dollars has been deposited into your account.

[Jude clears throat]

-Please go ahead and check.

JUDE: Yeah, I've been paid.

ANDY: Yeah. Me, too.

-I fuckin' told you, mate!

Yes!

-That is the end of our free round.

So if you wish to continue playing,

you will have your left hand bound to the table,

and you'll have to stay until the game is done.

ANDY: Oh, hang on.

I thought you were actually joking about that.

JUDE: Yeah. [laughs]

That's a little bit kinky even for my taste.

-It's creepy, more like.

Dude, we're 5,000 up.

Let's just get out of it.

-All right. Look, look.

What if we just sign something

and no one gets strapped down to the table

and then we promise we won't leave.

-It's really not up to me.

It's just how it works. I have producers to answer to.

-We both just won a chunk of money.

Let's just go back, grab a beer, and celebrate.

-How much is the next round for?

-One hundred thousand dollars.

-[Jude blows out breath]

Andy. Come on, mate. We can do it.

-Can we?

-Yeah. We just do what we just did.

It'll be easy.

-Warm-up rounds always are.

-No, mate. I think the game stays the same.

It's just the money goes up.

-Look, I'm happy with the money I have.

Thank you but I'm out.

-Look, I'm going to level with you, okay?

If you don't play the game, I don't get paid,

so it is definitely in my best interest

to try to convince you to stay.

Why don't we do this?

We'll give you some space.

You can go over there. You can discuss in private.

Let me ask you this:

How many times in life do you think

you're gonna get the chance to win 20 million dollars?

-And what will it cost us?

-Everyone has their price, Andy. What's yours?

-Come on. Let's go have a chat.

She said we can have a chat, let's go have a chat.

THE OFFICIATOR: Please.

We'll give you space.

[gentle music playing]

JUDE: Twenty million split between us, mate.

Just think about that for a sec.

ANDY: If we win.

-We will win.

-Dude, anything can go wrong.

We've already argued with each other in the warm-up.

-Mate, that wasn't arguing.

That was brotherly [indistinct].

-Well, I don't want to be strapped down

by the wrist either.

-Won't be the first time.

-See? You're not taking it seriously.

-Andy.

Think what our lives would be like

with that kind of money, man.

-What happens if it goes wrong

and you're in debt for that amount of money?

That's really what they're after here.

It's like a casino. Remember?

The house always wins.

-Look, if we lose, we declare bankruptcy

and we live with it.

They can't take what we don't have.

Mate, think about Kate, and your dad.

What would your mum have done?

-Don't...

We'll just do the same thing.

-We'll just do the same thing.

-Mmmmm.

Why do I feel I'm going to regret this?

-[laughs] Yes!

Ah, you're about to be a very rich man.

ANDY: Yeah, yeah. Just don't fuck around, Jude.

-JUDE: I won't. -ANDY: I mean it.

-Scout's honor.

ANDY: When were you in the Scouts?

[upbeat music playing]

-I'm quite excited.

-You're such a kid.

-[laughs]

We're in.

-Wonderful. You both want to do this?

-Oh, yeah.

-Andy?

-Yeah, sure.

-Perfect. Well then, we just ask

that you hand over your watch and phones.

It's just to minimize any distractions.

-Don't scratch it. [laughs]

-Please.

[unsettling music playing]

[metal arches mechanically tightened]

-[gasps] Whoa. That's pretty fucking tight.

-Yeah, that's what she said. [laughs]

-Jude, I mean it.

You better take this seriously.

-Yes, mate. Never been more serious in my life.

-Okay, let's get this thing rolling, shall we?

Now, at the start of each round,

I will explain what there is to play for.

In this round, we're playing for a hundred thousand dollars.

Now, just like before,

if both of you push the red button,

you'll get an equal share of the money.

But... -ANDY: [laughs] See.

There's always a but.

-In this round, you will also lose a finger.

-Sorry, what did you say?

-Uh, [laughs] I think she said we'll lose a finger.

-Now, if one of you presses blue and the other pushes red,

then the blue player will receive the full 100,000 dollars

and will keep their hand intact.

The red player will be in debt for 100,000 dollars

and will also lose a finger.

-[laughs] Are you fucking with us?

Mate, she's fucking with us.

-I don't think she is.

-Now, if both of you press blue,

then you'll both be in debt a 100,000 dollars,

and you will also lose your entire hand

from the wrist down.

-[laughs] What the fuck is this?

-It's just a simple test of cooperation,

that's all.

Now you'll both be given an allocated period of time

to discuss before making your final decision.

So use it wisely.

For those who watch.

-For those who watch.

-Your time begins now.

-I want out of this now. You hear me?

-No, no. Mate.

-I have rights.

-Andy, you knew the rules

and you chose to participate anyway.

You've agreed not to leave until this is all over.

So, please...play.

-A-all right. Mate, mate.

I think I know what's going on here.

They're filming us. It's a reality TV show. Right?

This is like, like a prank show.

It's good. It's funny.

I get it. [laughs]

-Does she look like she's joking to you?

JUDE: Andy, don't buy into it. Seriously.

Think about it, mate.

Who goes around chopping people's fingers off?

-We're in the middle of nowhere on an island.

They can chop off whatever they want.

Who's going to stop them?

-Mate, they still have laws.

-I don't think they give a shit.

-Andy. -No one even knows where we are.

-Mate, calm down.

-Don't tell me to calm down.

You got us into this.

What's your plan now? Huh?

-Gentlemen, time is ticking.

You really should be discussing what you're going to do.

Red or blue.

-You're seriously fucked up.

-I'm just giving people what they want.

-Andy, let's just play out the round, all right?

It's a joke. It has to be.

-What if I refuse? Huh? If I just don't press anything.

-Then we'll have to terminate you immediately.

-[laughs]

-What is that supposed to mean?

-It means who uses a word like terminate?

It's fine. Chill out.

-I'm pretty far from chill right now, Jude.

I can't believe I agreed to this.

We could be drinking a beer on the beach right now.

But no.

-I don't suppose we could get a beer?

-Will you take this seriously, for one fucking second?!

-And what? Get worked up like you?

-Yes, exactly that.

-Mate, you take things too seriously.

-Maybe if you took a leaf out of my book,

you wouldn't be in so much debt.

-Yeah?

Well, maybe if you took a leaf out of mine,

you wouldn't have shagged the office intern

and fucked up your whole life.

-My life would be doing fine if it wasn't for you.

I'd already ended it

when you opened your big mouth to Kate.

-Yeah, how'd you work that one out?

-You planted the seed of doubt.

-"Seed of doubt"? All right, Shakespeare.

No, you got caught red-handed. I didn't plant shit.

It's not my fault your wife's a neurotic pessimist

with trust issues.

-Thirty seconds, gentlemen.

-Come on.

-Whatever.

Look, Jude, I don't think this is a joke.

-Andy.

I promise you Kate's gonna walk out of there any minute.

This whole thing's fine.

-Well, if it's a joke, you'll press red.

-I don't know.

How do I know you're gonna press red.

-Damn it! Press red. I mean it.

-Oop! And that's time.

Gentlemen, make your decisions.

[button alarm sounding]

[button alarm sounding]

In three...

two...

one.

[light bulb buzzes]

Interesting.

Andy has chosen red and Jude has chosen blue.

-All right. Andy, it's bullshit, man.

You got to trust me on this, all right?

It's gonna be fine.

-Are you fucking insane?!

[metal arch closing sharply]

[gasping]

[screams in pain] Fuck! Fuck!

God! God!

[grunting]

-Congratulations, Jude.

One hundred thousand dollars has just been deposited

into your account.

-What the fuck is wrong with you?

-Andy, you are now in debt to the company

for the same sum of money.

-Jesus Christ. Oh fuck.

Huh, Andy. Huh. Mate, we'll get some ice.

We'll get some ice.

We'll chill it and you can get it stitched back on.

You're gonna be good.

-Stitch that on, motherfucker! [cries]

-Next round will be for 500,000 dollars.

-Fuck you.

-Oh.

-You too.

-Andy, I'm sorry, man. I didn't know this would happen.

-Five hundred thousand?

Let's play.

-That's the spirit.

-What the fuck is the matter with you?

-I'm just doing my job.

-[panting shakily] -[intense music playing]

THE OFFICIATOR: The rules are the same.

If both of you press red,

you will get an equal share of the 500,000 dollars,

but you will also lose a finger.

Now, if one of you presses blue and one of you presses red,

then the blue player will receive all the money

and keep their hand intact.

The red player will be in debt for the same amount

and will also lose a finger.

Charming.

-Just get your little speech over with already.

THE OFFICIATOR: If both players press blue,

then you'll be in debt for 500,000 dollars,

and you will lose your entire hand

from the wrist down.

Please, discuss.

For those who watch.

-For those who watch.

-Who the fuck are you even talking to?

-You've got me into some messed-up situations before.

But this time, you've really excelled yourself, Jude.

-All right. All right. There's got to be something

we can do to get ourselves out of this.

We can do something. You just need to tell us.

-Jude, the only way out of this is to finish.

You know the rules.

-Yeah, but who made up the rules?

We don't know why this is happening.

-[Andy chuckles]

-Why is this funny to you now?

-[Andy laughing]

At least you might learn your lesson for once.

-What fucking lesson, Andy? What?

That I'm supposed to be more like you, is that it?

Because from where I'm sitting,

your life doesn't look too rosy, mate.

-And whose fault is that?

Exactly.

-Mate, I'm sorry. All right?

But you and me need to work together

if we're gonna get out of this.

-[Andy chuckles mockingly]

Now he wants to work together.

-I didn't know they were going to do that to your finger.

-This is literally what they said,

word for fucking word.

-Andy, I would not have pressed blue

if I thought this was real.

-That's what this is.

You're scared I'm gonna press blue.

[scoffs]

-Mate, neither of us can press blue.

-I can press whatever I want, actually.

-Andy, I'm going to press red. I promise you.

-Your promise means zero to me.

Surely you should be offering to take the hit this time anyway.

You're going to lose a finger, either way.

-Take the hit? Mate...

-You said we're brothers, right?

-Yeah, but... -But what?

I lose a finger for you.

You lose a finger for me. Brothers.

-Yeah. But, mate, that's not all

they're asking though exactly. Is it?

-What kind of person doesn't offer to take one

for the team after what you just put me through?

Unless it's about the money.

-Mate, the business. I--I...

-[laughs]

You greedy fuck!

You're unbelievable!

-Mate, that's not fair.

-Fair?

I've just had a fucking finger cut off because of you.

-Yeah? Well, this isn't exactly

a walk in the park for me either.

-Oh, here we go.

It's always about you, isn't it?

Have you ever actually done anything selfless in your life?

-Selfless?

-Yes. Selfless.

Like for someone that's not you? That you didn't benefit from?

-Oh, mate. Don't go there.

ANDY: Why?

Well, have you?

Because I haven't quite made up my mind

which button I'm going to press yet.

So, it might sway my decision...

Exactly what I thought.

-I knew your mum was going to die.

-[laughs]

What is that supposed to mean?

We all knew my mum was going to die.

-Yeah.

But only because I made her tell you.

-No. You-- you're just being ridiculous now.

-Mate, she knew she had cancer for months

before she told anyone.

She wasn't gonna say anything. She thought it'd be better

if she just slipped away in the night quietly.

I had to fucking beg her to tell you.

-[clears throat]

How long did you know?

-That doesn't matter.

What matters is the fact that I got her to tell--

-[slams table] How long did you know?!

-Six months.

-[cries] Six months?!

We had three weeks to prepare her things and say goodbye.

And you and her knew for-- for six months.

-She just wanted to carry on as normal, mate.

-So let me get this straight.

She told you and not me?

-Mate, it destroyed me having to keep it from you,

but she made me swear not to tell anyone.

-Why would she tell you?

-She needed someone to drive her to the hospital

for appointments.

She wanted to protect you, and so she asked me.

-And that's-- that's when you two got really close.

-Mate, I wanted to tell you, all right?

But I could see how messed up you were at the time

with everything that was going on with Kate.

But then at the same time, I could see how unfair it was,

that your mum wasn't telling anyone.

So, every day, I tried to convince her to say something

until she did.

So there.

Selfless.

Now you know.

-Well, if you gave two shits, you would have told me.

-Mate, that's not true, and you know that.

-Ah. Time's up.

Please make your decisions.

[button alarm sounding]

[button alarm sounding]

Oh, this is exciting.

In, three, two, one...

[light bulb buzzes]

Interesting.

[metal arches closing sharply]

Very interesting.

-[grunting sharply]

-[screaming in pain]

Oh, my god. Oh, fuck.

[screams in pain]

[panting shakily]

Oh, God!

[crying] Oh, God.

[grunting]

Oh, God.

Aaahhh!

Oh, God... oh, God...

[breathing deeply]

-[breathing heavily]

-Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars

has just been deposited into each of your accounts.

Congratulations.

-How many more rounds of this are left?

-What would be the fun in you knowing that?

-Well, I'm running out of fingers.

-Oh.

-What are you getting out of this?

-Money.

-So this is just a job to you.

-Ugh. I know you both think I'm the villain here

but if there wasn't a market for this type of thing,

we wouldn't be here, would we?

And as you both know much too well, money talks.

If it didn't, you wouldn't have come back to the table.

-So you putting us through all of this

is just someone else's fault?

-See? You do get it.

Oh. How rude of me to wave my finger around

in your current situations.

-You really are a bitch.

-Oh, you should be excited, gentlemen.

We are making real art here. And the best is yet to come.

-[breathing shakily] Fuck.

-The next round is for one million dollars.

Now, obviously, for that kind of money,

we can't just chop off a finger or two,

so... it's time to raise the stakes.

ANDY: Oh, God. No.

JUDE: What the fuck is this?

-Dad?

-Henry?

-[Henry mumbles]

-Leave him out of this.

He's been through enough already.

-Unfortunately, our patrons don't feel the same.

-Dad, it's okay. Everything's gonna be all right.

-Well, now that you know what there is to lose,

let me explain what there is to gain.

If both players press red,

then you'll get an equal share of one million dollars.

But your loved ones will get their eyes burnt out,

leaving them completely blind.

-What the fuck!

-Now, if one of you presses blue and one of you presses red,

then the blue player receives the full amount

and their loved one walks away unharmed.

The red player will then be in debt

for the same amount of money

and their loved one will be terminated immediately.

-Murdered?

-Henry, I'm so sorry.

I-I-I didn't know what I was getting us into.

-Now, if both players press blue,

then you'll both be in debt for one million dollars,

and your loved ones will be terminated immediately.

-What the fuck is this?

You're some sort of fucking psychopath!

-No, no, no, no, no. Take my hand instead.

Cut the whole thing off. Take 'em both, for all I care.

Just leave my dad out of it and let him go.

-Sweet, but no thanks.

Time to discuss before making your final decision.

For those who watch.

CREW MEMBERS: For those who watch.

-Andy, Andy, what are we going to do?

-I-I don't know.

-We'll pay the debt. Yeah?

You just name the price,

and we'll pay it and then it's fine.

And you can let them go. Please, please.

That's my little brother.

-It's red or blue, Jude.

There's no other choice.

-[cries]

-These are innocent people's lives we're talking about.

Don't you have a family?

-This kind of thing doesn't happen to my family.

-Then put yourself in our positions, woman.

How would you feel?

-I don't have to.

That's why we're watching you go through this.

-So you're just going to sit back

and force us to watch our family get hurt?

-I'm just the officiator.

-You're here right now. No one else.

You're alone. You can let them go.

-We're not alone.

-[scoffs angrily]

-Wait, are you afraid of them?

Is that what it is?

-The patrons get what the patrons want.

Gentlemen, you are wasting time,

and we are on a tight schedule here.

So, chop-chop.

-You--you play this game all the time.

You know nothing about the company?

-Mate, it's an app I downloaded on my phone.

I don't know what the fuck this is.

-You must know something.

-Don't you think I would've said something by now

if I knew anything that could help us?

-You gotta do something, Jude.

-What, Andy?! What?

-I don't know. Okay?

-All right. Let's just do the thing

that causes the least amount of long-term damage. Yeah?

We'll press red. -[Henry mumbling]

-They're gonna blind my dad and Henry.

-You want to think about the alternative?

Because I don't.

-Why don't we hear what they have to say?

See if it helps make your decision.

I'll give them both ten seconds each to make their case.

-Plead their case? What the fuck is this?

-What is this?

Is it some sort of practical joke?

Because this is not funny.

-You don't know, Dad. No. I really wish it was.

-Well, call the police or something then.

-Time's up.

-I love you, son. Game on.

-Henry? Ten seconds.

-Well, you've really outdone yourself this time, brother.

-I'm sorry. I didn't know what this was, brother. I--

-I don't care. I don't-- I don't care.

All right? I don't know what is going on here,

but I cannot go blind.

I can't. I'm-- I'm getting married next year.

I've got my whole life to...

No offense, but Samuel has lived a long life.

Yeah?

Please, please don't do this to me.

How would I work? Who's gonna bail you out?

Who's gonna bail you out? -THE OFFICIATOR: Time's up.

-Don't do this, please! [cries]

-He's got a valid point.

-[Samuel cries] -No, no, no, no. Dad. No.

-Andy, listen to what he's saying, mate.

He's asking you to do the right thing.

-Fuck you, Jude.

Don't even think about it.

We both press red. You said so.

We're just gonna go red. It's the only way.

Everyone gets to live then.

Jude! -Shut the fuck up, Andy.

Just let me think for a second, all right?

-I gotta be able to trust you, man.

This is my dad's life. If you press blue...

-I don't know that you won't press blue, okay?

I mean, come on. You don't even like Henry.

-I do like him.

-No, you don't. You said he was a dick.

-Not enough to murder him though.

-So, you do hate him? -No!

-For fuck's sake. Can you just not let them go?

ANDY: Pressing that blue button is murder, Jude.

And I could say the same for you.

My-- my dad drives you insane.

-I brought him on holiday.

-After I practically begged you.

-Mate, he doesn't even like me.

-He doesn't hate you.

He just thinks you're a bad influence.

-There you go then.

-No, no, no. Listen, listen.

My dad loves you. All right? You-- you-- you're family.

-Okay. As much as I could listen to this all day,

your time is up.

Make your decisions.

You have ten seconds.

-I'm sorry, Dad.

[button alarm sounding]

-I love you, Henry.

[button alarm sounding]

-What the fuck!

-In three, two, one.

[light bulb buzzes]

-No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

ANDY: No, no, no, no, no.

Please, don't. No! Don't.

[chaotic protesting]

[gun fired]

-No, no, no, no. -[gun fired]

-[cries loudly] No!

[emotional music playing]

-You killed him.

You lied, and you fucking killed him.

[tense music playing]

-Okay, that's enough dwelling on that.

There is money to be made.

Let's move on to the next round, shall we?

-No, no, no, no. Don't you fucking dare.

-What?

-Six of us came out.

-We all knew where this was heading, didn't we?

Bring 'em in.

JUDE: No, no, no, no, no.

ANDY: No.

JUDE: No, no, no, no. You can't do this.

You can't do this. Please, please, please.

Heather, it's all right, baby. -HEATHER: No.

JUDE: It's all right. Oh, for fuck's sake.

Oh, God. No.

Please. I'm begging you. I'm begging you.

-THE OFFICIATOR: The rules... -ANDY: Stop. Stop.

THE OFFICIATOR: Now, if both of you press red,

you'll get an equal share of the five million dollars,

but your loved ones' tongues will get cut out.

-[Heather groaning]

-Now, if one of... -KATE: No!

-...you presses blue and the other presses red,

then the blue player receives all the money

and your loved one walks away untouched.

-The red player-- -We know the rules.

You don't need to repeat them, please.

-Fair enough.

Then feel free to discuss amongst yourselves.

For those who watch.

CREW MEMBERS: For those who watch.

-I'm so sorry. This is such a fucked-up situation.

We didn't have a choice.

ANDY: Let's not lie to them.

We had a choice.

-Not about this.

How were we supposed to know that this would happen?

-Because wherever you go, bad shit follows.

That's how.

Kate, I'm so sorry for everything. I was...

selfish and confused and-- and it's not fair.

None of it's fair on you.

I would give my life gladly just to get you out of this.

I promise, when we get out of here,

things are going to change, okay?

Whatever you want.

[Heather and Kate mumbling]

-Why don't we hear if the ladies have something to say?

I will give them each 15 seconds to plead their case.

-You should be ashamed of yourself.

THE OFFICIATOR: Oh. -Kate, Kate. Don't panic.

-I'm panicking. -No, no, no.

Everything's gonna be all right.

We're gonna get through this, okay?

-If this is the last time I'm gonna get to speak...

I love you. I always did. [cries]

I'll never be able to forgive what happened,

but I will be able to move past it.

I will.

-[cries] That's more than enough for me.

-Okay, time's up. [snaps fingers]

-No, no, no, no, please. Kate, I love you.

KATE: Oh, oh!

-Heather, 15 seconds.

-[Heather spits] -Baby, I swear,

it's gonna be okay, all right, I'm gonna get us out of this.

-I'm pregnant.

-What?

-[cries] I'm pregnant.

-Are you serious?

Hey. Wh-- for how long? How long have you known?

-Not long. I didn't know how to tell you. I'm sorry.

-You don't-- you don't have to be sorry.

You don't have to be sorry. Did you hear that?

Are you listening to this? She's pregnant.

-Time's up. -HEATHER: Please.

-No, no, no, no, no! She-- she-- she's pregnant.

For Christ's sake. You can't do this to her.

Please. -[Heather crying]

-Yes, that is unexpected.

-Heather, you serious we're having a baby?

Andy, please tell me you're listening to this?

-[cries] I heard her.

-Let her go. Let her go right now.

I swear to God I'll fucking kill you myself.

-Jude.

That kind of behavior isn't gonna get you anywhere.

I'm only doing it for the people.

-Well then, tell them. Tell them they can release her.

-I don't have that power. I'm merely the facilitator.

-That's not true. You killed my brother.

-You did that.

-I don't know what I'm supposed to say anymore.

-Okay, I'll give you a bit more time

to make your decisions.

-Jude, listen to me.

Jude!

We can't let what happened last time happen again.

HEATHER: Please.

-No. No.

-We need to do this for each other, okay?

-Yeah. Yeah.

-Brothers.

-Brothers.

-Okay. Time's up.

Make your decisions.

-It's gonna be alright.

[button alarm sounding]

[button alarm sounding]

-Mm.

-In three, two, one.

[light bulb buzzes]

-[breathing heavily, cries]

-[cries loudly]

You fucking liar.

-No...

-I swear to God, I'm gonna kill you.

-Andy, I'm sorry, man. I'm sorry.

I couldn't...I... [sobs]

-Andy, you have chosen red,

and Jude-- well, you chose blue.

Five million dollars has just been deposited

into your account. Congratulations.

[breathes deeply]

-You murdering son of a bitch! That's my wife.

-Kate, I'm sorry. [cries]

-No, no, no, no, no, no. Don't. Don't. Please.

I'll do anyt-- -[gun fired]

-[cries loudly]

-Why?

-Heather's pregnant, man.

-But you only just met her.

-And you guys were basically over.

-Fuck you!

[intense music playing]

-[Andy sobbing]

[intense music continues]

[birds chirping]

-[sighs] Well, no more guests.

-You already took everyone I give a shit about.

-Well, that's not true. What about Jude here?

-[spits]

-Oh! Okay. Well, let's move on then.

The next round is for ten million dollars.

If both of you press red,

you get an equal share of the money,

but you both get one eye burnt out.

Now, if one of you presses blue and the other presses red,

the blue player receives the full ten million dollars.

The red player is in debt for the same amount

and gets both eyes burnt out.

If both of you press blue,

then you'll be terminated immediately.

Please discuss.

For those who watch.

CREW MEMBERS: For those who watch.

-Time is money, gentlemen.

-I don't need time.

-What do you mean?

-I'm pressing blue.

-What? Andy? No, no, no, no.

-My mind's made up.

-Mate, I know you're upset.

-Upset?

You murdered the only two people on this planet I cared about,

and you think I'm a little upset?

-You think I wanted any of this?

-I'm pressing blue.

-All right, Andy. Listen to me.

They have nowhere to escalate to from this point on.

This has to be the final round. Let's just press red.

We lose an eye,

but we'll keep our vision and we'll walk away.

-It's too late for that.

-Mate, we can walk out of this together.

Why would you not want that?

-Stop.

Stop.

You killed Kate.

There's nothing more to say about it.

I'm pressing blue,

and you can press whatever the hell you want.

-So, you're just gonna let them blind me as punishment,

is that it?

-I'm choosing blue.

-And if I press blue?

-Then we both die. Fuck it.

-Andy, think about what you're saying.

-There is no version of this where we walk away anyway.

You're not stupid enough to not realize that.

-Time's up.

Make your decisions.

-I'm ready.

-Me too.

-Oh, I love this.

[button alarm sounding]

[button alarm sounding]

In three, two, one.

[light bulb buzzes]

[Jude sighs in relief]

-Well played, Andy.

Congratulations.

An equal amount of money has been deposited

into each of your accounts.

Now brace yourself. This may sting a little.

-Oh. Wait.

Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. This doesn't need to happen.

Hold on. Please. Please.

No, no, no, no. We can-- we can--

-[Andy grunting in pain] -[eye sizzling]

-[Jude grunting in pain] -[eye sizzling]

-[both crying out in pain]

[Officiator sighs]

[both grunting]

-Gentlemen, when we started,

I promised you both the chance to play for 20 million dollars,

and I always keep my word.

I am curious, however,

how you're feeling about the money

now that we've gotten this far?

-You can shove it up your ass. [laughs]

-Yeah. I guess it is a small amount

in the grand scheme of things, isn't it?

Let's finish this, shall we?

-Where the fuck do we go from here?

[Jude grunting]

-Well, these things would be nothing

without a little last-minute twist.

You remember Heather.

JUDE: No, no, no. That's-- that's not fair.

She was done.

You can't-- you can't bring her back in.

You can't do that to her. Don't point that thing at her.

Look, baby. You okay? Did they do anything to you?

-Your eye.

-Oh. Don't worry, Heather, they'll live... or not.

That's actually up to you.

-All right, Heather. Listen to me. Listen to me.

Everything's gonna be all right. Yeah?

You're gonna be okay. I promise you.

-[Andy chortles]

[whispers] He's so funny.

He's been saying that all day.

[laughs]

-Gentlemen... this round,

you'll be playing together as a team...

against Heather.

-Oh, my--

-Andy, you'll make the choice on behalf of your team,

and Heather, you will hold up the card of your choice,

when asked.

Now, if both teams choose red,

then you'll all get an equal share of 20 million dollars,

but you'll also get one eye burnt out.

If one team chooses blue and the other chooses red,

then the blue team walks away with 20 million dollars

and the red team gets terminated immediately.

If both teams choose blue,

then you all get terminated.

I'll leave you some time to discuss

before making your final decision.

For those who watch.

CREW MEMBERS: For those who watch.

-It's fine.

-So... how does this work? We all just choose red, right?

And then we all live? Yeah? -Right.

-And me and Jude are blind for life.

-Come on, Andy. Just do the right thing and choose red.

-[clears throat]

I don't know.

-She's pregnant, man.

-[laughs]

-Please. I don't want any of us to die.

-What then, and I'm supposed to believe

someone like you isn't gonna press blue

and take all the money?

-Someone like me?

-You're such a gold digger.

-For fuck's sake, Andy! Press red!

-[laughs] No.

All right. Let's say I was to do that.

Press... press red.

I'm supposed to trust her?

-Trust me, mate. All right?

Look, we both made mistakes today.

We both lied, but at the end of the day,

you and me, we're still family.

-[laughs] Oh. Well, that's handy...

because I have no real family left, thanks to you.

-Look, I don't know what happened here today

and I am really sorry about Kate.

But please don't do this.

I'll choose red.

I love Jude.

I don't want anything to happen to him.

I don't wanna live without him.

We don't have to be family or even friends.

But we can all walk out of here together.

-[mouths] Please.

-[sighs] Fine.

-Red?

-Red.

-Red.

-Okay. Make your decisions.

Blue or red. Us or them?

[suspenseful music playing]

-Reveal your choices in three, two, one.

[light bulb buzzes]

-[Andy laughs]

Brilliant.

-Congratulations, Heather.

You are now going to walk away with 20 million dollars.

Anything you'd like to say?

-I don't understand.

-I'm sorry.

We've only been together four months.

I don't think I should have to...

You got yourself into this, and I have my whole life.

I'm sorry.

-Okay. Thank you, Heather. Time for you to leave.

-[Andy laughs]

-Are you even pregnant?

-Duh. [laughs]

-Well, that just about wraps things up then,

and right on schedule. Well done, team.

Now.

Gentlemen, anything you'd like to say to one another?

-[cries]

-[loud single shot] -[body thuds]

-[loud single shot] -[body thuds]

-[Dean grunting in pain, crying loudly]

HEATHER: Didn't quite catch that.

-[indistinct].

-No one gets to just walk away in this game.

If the patrons like you,

producers will just keep bringing you back,

one way or another.

We're watching you go through this

so that we don't have to again.

Everyone here has played the game.

And if you don't play, we don't get paid.

So, let's finish this. Then we can all be done here.

All right?

[birds chirping]

[gentle music playing]

[music fades out]
