Headgame (2018)
1
Let me be very clear with all of you. One of you in this room tonight... is going to die. Welcome to Headgame. Out you go, little guy. -Okay, how do I look? -Perfect. Hot, rich guy asks you out at the gym. Why cant that happen to me? It's bad luck to open that in the house. Oh. Okay, hes here. I got to go. I love you. Have fun... bitch. Oh, I wouldn't Be surprised If somebody pinched me And I opened my eyes To find out You were just my design One step from a dream Inside of my mind We got two more states to drive through. paughs] I was going to say, where are we going? Were in the middle of nowhere. I know we are, and its getting really hot right now. paughs] I hold you So close to me So... did you have a good time tonight? Yeah. Me, too. I hope were able to do it again sometime. Somebody pinched me And I opened my eyes To find out You were just my design One step from a dream Inside of my mind Hey, do you want to meet some friends of mine? I'm betting you'll fit right in. So, what do you say? Are you game? Yeah, I'm game. I thought you might be. Now the game is set. Lets meet our players. This is Jackson. Strong-willed, motivated, extremely confident. I've done McKinley, K2, Kilimanjaro, and Everest. This year I'm doing Puncak Jaya and Kosciuszko. Next year I'll do Mt. Vinson to finish off Seven Summits. Typically excels in high-stress situations, although I dont imagine hes ever had to deal with anything like this. Nevertheless, hes... Impressive. I think so. And he knows it. Here is Anton. He spent five years in the South African military before coming to the States. Physically dominant with an extensive weapons background. This is Keith "the Thief." Everything about him is a lie. Deceptive and crafty, he'll be whatever he needs to be in order to survive. I've got to show you this. Put that down. Here we go. Okay, loosen up. Up, up, loosen up. Ow! Ow! Fuck, man! paughs] Anton also knows jujitsu. Yeah, I was on tour for a while. I was even nationally ranked. I love tennis. We should play sometime. Leah doesnt play well with others. I'd crush you. Banned from the tennis circuit after assaulting a line judge, shes extremely competitive. Leah does not like to lose. This is Nick. "Iron Man" Nick. Marina is bringing Nick, the iron man. Hes a triathlete. Very durable and just an all-around nice guy. -Oh, a triathlete. -Yeah, thats right. Nice. Ever climb the Y? Oh, yeah. Three times. All right. Carlo, skip dinner with Cat. She wont be much for conversation. Her vocal cords were crushed in an accident that killed both her parents. Shes a gymnast and incredibly agile. I'll get you a drink. Who are you here with? - Victors date is Sarah. - Hes cute. An orphan with the anxiety disorder trichotillomania. Basically, she pulls her hair out. No athletic history. She probably wont be around long. Shes also a bit awkward. I dont really know anyone here. You know me. Jackie. Sarah. Lets do this! Carly is bringing Mike, "Magic Mike." Hes a male escort, so I cant imagine it was too hard to get him to come. And, finally, my piece is Jackie. Shes the new teacher at my yoga studio. She teaches that yoga serves us so that we may serve others. You must love yourself so you can spread that love everywhere, to everyone. Im still working on that part. What is this stuff? It's a bottle of vintage. You'll love it. Thanks. Good luck, everyone. To our guests. Every one of you was invited here for a reason. Now, while at first glance those reasons are obvious-- Beauty, strength, intelligence-- whats not quite so obvious are the qualities lurking beneath such glowing exteriors. Where better to reveal those hidden qualities than in the exciting new arena of friendship. To new friends. For a night you cant remember. And a day you cant forget. You fascinate me, Jackie. And I havent felt that in a long, long time. What is this on my head? Some sort of lens. What did they do? Good morning. I hope everyone slept soundly. You have a big day ahead of you. What the fuck? This is a game. You have one night to complete it. Somewhere in this space is a key. There is also a very special door. To win the game, find the key and unlock the door to freedom. But only one of you can win. What does that mean? It means were fucked. Whatever. I'm out of here. Help me, assholes! - Come on... - It's welded shut. The door will only open when one survivor remains and the others are all dead. I'm not playing. We're not playing. You hear me? Were not playing! You can take your twisted Hunger Game fantasy somewhere else. Your third eye cameras allow us to see everything you see. Do not manipulate these cameras. If you obstruct or obscure the lens in any way... This is bullshit! What the hell? Wait, wait, wait, what are you doing? I'm taking this thing off! Ah! Oh, my God. As you can see, each camera contains a vial of acid. After 12 hours, the acid will degrade those vials and you will suffer the same fate as your friend. Only if you win the game and escape can the camera be safely removed. For those of you tempted to do nothing and sit the game out, that is not an option. The game begins... HOW. Hey! guys? What should we do? What do you think? I'm not going to stay here with the dead guy and the puke. Betting is open. Place your chips. Kris, let's see some data. This round is now closed. This place is like a maze. I feel like weve been going around in circles. Hey, what do you do for a living? I'm a yoga teacher. Why? And youre a climber? Yeah. You play tennis. I'm a tennis pro. Tennis pro. Big guy, youre obviously in shape. What do you do? Personal trainer. And youre a marathoner? - Triathlete. So we all have some sort of physical prowess. Well, I cant do a push-up to save my life. And she can barely stand up. I work out. Sometimes. Takes a dump on your theory. Theyre never going to let us out of here. Yeah, well, we all know what the solution is, huh? Why dont you just relax? Hey, I'm relaxed, bubbles. Why don't you relax, huh? You mean we have to kill each other? No. I refuse to accept that. None of it matters. The only thing that matters is that clock ticking down, and this little conversations a fucking waste of time. What the fuck? Thats disgusting. Lets keep moving. Theres something in here. Now what? Nothing. We just leave it. Hey, hey, what are you doing? lm just taking a look, okay? - Guys, don't. - I'm not doing anything. Yeah, thats right, youre not. What are you, the boss now? No, I'm just trying to contain the situation. Contain the situation? What a douche. Okay, okay, all right. Lets just... lets just move on. Okay? Move on. There are going to be other weapons. And we'll leave those, too, and we'll work together. Were not animals. Can you help me out here? Whatever you do, just be sure about it. What, are you going to follow this guy? Guys, this is not happening. Please, just... just...just think for a second. Okay. Lets think. Lets group think, huh? All boils down to one simple question: do you believe in this thing, in whats going on? Do you believe whats going on around you, huh? Do you believe whats going to happen to us if we dont do anything? Yes or no? Yeah. When that meathead had his face melt off, we all knew the answer. So the real question is what are you going to do? Huh? I want to live. We all want to live. Oh, well, thats the rub. Only one of us get out of here alive. No. I believe theres another way. No, you dont. Listen, what I think we should do is-- Shh! Shh! Theres two sides to every coin, okay? What we want to do and what we dont want to do. And what I dont want to do is listen to another fucking thing coming out of your mouth. No, no! No. No, no, no, no. No, no, please! Please! Oh= my God! I cant believe it. I cant fucking believe it. Lets get out of here. Run! Hey... Whoa. Kill me later... after we clean house. Okay? I dont want to be here. I dont want to die. Listen to me. Youre not going to die, okay? I promise. Were going to find a way out, okay? Were all going to go home. I promise. Hey, hey, check this out. Some kind of message. Like a clue? Yeah, exactly like a clue. It looks like a baseball. Why a baseball? What do you think it means? It's got to mean something. It must mean something. Ah! Oh, my God! Nick! Wow. What in the...? Huh... What is this place? That bitch on the P.A. mentioned something about a key and a door. I got this. How do you feel about it? Killing someone? It happened pretty fast, you know? Are you okay? I knew it meant something. Oh, wow. Uh...uh, yeah. We need to get the hell out of here. Baseba. No killing. I'm not going to kill anyone. I cant say the same for everyone else. It was you or him. I just want to get the fuck out of here. How do you feel about it? It was unavoidable. A police badge. Musical note. Sunglasses. Suggesons? Sunglasses could mean sun. Sunlight? Outside? Escape? Why not? Good job, Sarah. Whatever it is, lets just be careful. It's a ruse. Theyre trying to keep us in one spot. Yeah. Fuck! Lets get the fuck out of here. I dont-- I dont want to go down there. I'm sure it's fine. Did you see that? Down this way. Do you see that? These lights. They aren't random. It's a pattern. Theres got to be something valuable on the other side. Maybe the way out. How can you be so sure? Because thats how these sick bastards work. Okay, so theres... seven sections of the hallway. I'm going to call out which one the light falls on, and you remember the sequence. -I dont understand. -You dont have to understand. -But you do. You got it? -Got it. Youre going to call out the numbers, remember the sequence. - Two. - Two. - Five. - Five. Shes playing, man. -Three. -Three. Six. Less than six hours remain. Weve got to go. I dont know what youre doing, but we need to go right now. Okay. Those sequence of numbers I counted, what were they? Two, five, three, six. - Youre sure? - Yes. Okay, we start with you, and we stay in the light. Everyone stand tight to me. When I move, you move. And we stay out of the dark, no matter what. okay..-... Q0. Five, five, five! Ah! Oh, my God. Three. Holy shit. All right. We did it. We did it. She totally owned your shadow trap. No ones ever done that before. Are you happy about it? Never said that. Plah. Shes filler. Like the rodent and the misfit. Ground meat to feed the beasts. Shes not a real challenger. You never know. Want to bet she dies next? I dont bet. I run the odds so you can. With nothing at stake. How convenient. Like it matters if I bet or not. Tell me, when was the last time Victor won? Neven I've never lost. Thats just as important. Sad, Victor. Most play to win. You play not to lose. Take it easy on the vapor spikes, cowboy. Might increase your chances of not losing. I could out-spike you any day of the week. Now that is a wager I'm willing to take. You gonna let him bitch you out? Come on, Vic. -Lets do it. -Fine. - Yes? - Yeah! Lets do it! Which way do we go? Huh? Lets kill these fuckers. Do you have any pets, Jackie? I have a dog at home. A Maltese. Shes probably wondering where I am. We need to go home now, Jackie. I know, Sarah. Were going to figure something out. I promise. Why did they do this to us? Because... Because were not like them. Were good people. Some people... are just empty inside. They dont feel anything. For anyone. I believe were all born good. Somewhere along the way... [gunsho ...something turned them into monsters. Whats your story, Nick? Parents? They died a long time ago. Sarah, how about you? No. I havent talked to my family in a long time. I bet everyone here is just like us. No family. Unattached. Alone. A bunch of lost souls. Lets go. Someone will come looking for us. [gunsho jlgasps] lfaln pattering] Who? And even if they did... theyre probably not in time. Theyre watching us, arent they? Probably. It's okay. Getting in the mood, are we? It's a shame she has to die. I wonder whos going to kill her. You think its going to be her, dont you? Well, thanks for the tip. That doesnt look good. Flashlight? Wait, let me see. A key, It's phosphorescent paint. Black light. It just ends. There it is. Whos going up there? We dont have time for this. Lets go. Kriss girl is going to get the key... unless she falls in the hole first. Jackie, careful. -Jackie, please be careful. -I see it. Dont look down. Shh. Can you hear that? - They there. - Shh. {Safahl 0h, my God! - 0h, my God! Be careful. Come on. Lets go say hello. Looks like were going to get a fight. I got it. I got it. Whoa, good job. Nick! I got it. I got it. I got this. Okay, come on. Come on. Sarah, climb up here. You'll be safe with me. Come on, get it! I'm going to kill you! You give me that key! Sarah? Get to fucking you up. Come on! Sarah... dont look down, okay? Just come to me. Sarah. It's Sarah, right? Come here. Come to me. Give me your hand and youll be safe. Dont listen to a word she says. It's not safe out there. You know I'm right. Just look down. Dont listen to her, Sarah. Dont listen to her. The fall will kill you, Sarah. Please, just make your way towards me, Sarah. - You don't want to die, do you? - -I'm here for you. - I'll protect you. - -I'll help you get out of here. Give me the key and I'll let you live. I can help you get out of here. - Please come to me. - Give me the key! I'll protect you, Sarah. I just want to go home. I just want to go home. -No! -Fuck! No! Keith, go get the key! Jackie! Let go. It's over. You bitch! You fucking bitch. Oh, my God. Jackie! Say hi to Sarah for me. No! Fuck. Help me, please. Please. Help- Help me, please. Where is the key? I havent found the goddamn key. Well, | ets find it. Theres no key. The other chick must have got here first. Well, lets get them. How come you didnt get here first? I didnt come this way. Bullshit. I took the same staircase you did. It practically led me right here. How could you miss it? Youre hiding something. Wheres the key? I dont have it. Bullshit. I dont have it. Then who does? I told you, that quiet bitch. Hmm. She took the other staircase, which clearly doesnt lead here. Youre lying. Search him. What the fuck is this? I found it. I found it in the barrel. What were you gonna do with that, huh? Stab us in the back? Hmm? So you dont have the key? No. And you dont know who does? No, I swear. Then youre useless to us. You silly little bitch! Shes alive. Shes fucking alive? You. I dont want to fight you. I dont understand. Nick. Have you seen Nick? Okay, lets... lets find him. Together. Thats hot. Lets make it a little hotter. You smell that? Gasoline. Uh-uh. Dont move! Youre hurt. Let us help you. Shut up. You think losers like us were brought here to win? Were meant to die. Entertainment for the asshole overlords while contenders like her fight it out. Were sideshow freaks. Were intermission. This isnt you. You dont have to do this. You and your "glass half full" bullshit. You dont know me. My glass... my glass is full of blood. There it is. The door, we found it. -lts locked. -Oh, come on. Now what? Let them come to us. - Okay, sit here. - It's okay. Shh, just let me take a look. Oh. You going to look around? Okay. Be careful. And dont leave without us. What are you doing? I'm going to re-dress it. Okay. Sorry. I see you picked up a stray. You trust her? Shes just like us. Scared and wants to get out of here alive. Okay. Okay. It's not much, but... ...it'll help. It's perfect. Thanks. You saved my life. And you took one. Yeah. I just ran as fast as I could. Almost on time. But I knew in that split second I had a choice to make. Kill him, or let you die. And I'm not going to let you die. Come on. If thats the door, they still need the key. Theyre waiting us out. Okay, look, Anton is the main threat. So you draw him towards me, keep the key away from him, andlldo the dirty work. She thinks I'm dead. Let's use that to our advantage. How? I need you to take your clothes off. You wait here in case he circles back around. Still alive, Jackie? Thats too bad. You? NOW! Nick! Nick. Nick. We have to go. Come on. Youre going to be okay. Were gonna get out of here. I swear, Nick. Come on. Somebody do something! Please, no, no. Player termination. Down to our final three players. Going somewhere? I'm not going anywhere. I dont think any of us are. One... The door will only open when one survivor remains. You have to kill me. No, I cant. I cant do that. I wouldn't do that. I'm dying-. So just save yourself. Please. Nick... | cant. I dont want to do that. I cant do that. You cant let both of us die. They'll win. Dont let it happen. So just do it. Go on. Let me figure something out. I'm gonna figure something out. Wait... Time is running out, Jackie. Please. We did it. We did it. What did you do? What did you do? No. All right, its okay. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. It's over. It's over. It's over. It's over. It's over. You won. You won. You won. You won. I cant...l cant... I cant... Quite the surprise. Better luck next time, Carlo. Shh. It's okay. Relax. Dont touch me. Dont touch me. Where am I? Youre safe. Dont fucking touch me! Youre safe now. Youve been reborn. Youre free to do whatever you want to do, be whoever you want to be. How could you do this to me? Who are you? Everyone brings a piece to the game. You were mine. Are you game? Yeah... I'm game. I'm just like you. Were all just like you. Youre one of us now. What do you mean, "one of us"? You might not remember. You were initiated, Jackie. We have rules in this game. And our loser must die... Help! Somebody! ...at the hands of the winner. Help me! Help! Somebody, help me! This feeling is natural. -Help me! - | t | l pass. Help me! If you want to go... Q0. Were not going to stop you. But theres something you should know. Your roommate. They havent found the killer. But theyre looking. Thats your name, right? Theyre looking for you. Your prints were all over it. And you havent been seen since. So if you want to go... By all means. Quite the game. You were watching? We always are. You know that, Kris. Did you win? No. But I didnt lose. Drink? I'm here about the girl. Shes recovering. Not as quickly as some of the others. Shell be well soon enough. Will she? I've never seen someone like her win before. She inspired hope where there was none. She outsmarted and she outfought. She was a sheep... meant to die. But she didnt. She won. Shes not like the others, Kris. And we're not convinced that she'll become a team player. So we want her dealt with immediately. What? You cant do that. She won the game. Shes worthy. Shes more than worthy. I'm absolutely sure of it. But were not. And thats all that matters. Are you familiar with the term "ade | phophagy," Kris? It literally means "to eat ones brother." Sand sharks. They do this in the womb. Devour their siblings so they grow strong enough to survive in the wild. The dominant shark, there is no instinct to help or to hope. Only to kill or to be killed. And that instinct... starts before theyre even born. Please. Please. Ask the elders to reconsider. In all my time running this game, I have never asked them for anything. I believe I've earned their trust. She will come around, and when she does, she will be special. We need someone like her. We need? Or you need? Both. She will be your responsibility from now on, son. If she is to stay... she will be the one... to cut the dead weight from our ranks. The game... how did it start? That" is a very long and old story. But... I can tell you how it started for me. It started with a feeling. This intense feeling of... being alive... for the first time. I think ever since then, I've been chasing after that. Then why dont you bet? Because I run the game. They say its quite an honor. They say a lot of things. But dont worry about me. You get to bet. Just make sure you dont lose. I'd rather help you run the game. I mean, if its okay with the others. It's okay because I say it's okay. I cant tell you how happy that makes me. In fact... that calls for a drink. Uh...but last time... Trust me. It's okay. ltll pass. I want you here with me. It doesnt do anything for me anymore. I wish it did. I miss it. Well, what does? Come on, I want you to... I want you to feel what I feel. You mix this. Three parts vodka to one part. For the game. But this... is the real deal. Pure. I forgot how that feels. For a night you cant remember... and a day you cant forget. Good morning. I hope everyone got a good nights rest. Kris? Kris? Unfortunately, your time here is running out. Enjoy your last 90 seconds on this earth. This is not a game. Please dont. There is no magic key. There is no special door for you to find. There is no winner. There is no escape. Well... that was... Unavoidable. How do you feel, Jackie? Alive. So now what? Well, thats up to you. This is endgame. And it ends... ...now. |
