I just can't understand
why you put the shirt on.
- Dude, let it go.
- I don't get it.
No, it's, I'm not angry anymore
I just wanna understand
your thought process.
Why does my shirt matter?
You wanna show you care, you
wanna show you're committed.
I am not trying
to date these guys.
Yes, you are!
That's the whole thing!
Well, actually,
maybe it's smart, you know?
It'll seem like
he's playing it cool or, ah..
Yeah, or playing it like a moron
is what he's gonna..
Sorry about that.
See, that's the kind
of friend I would date.
[BOTH CHUCKLING]
Alright, I'm gonna take
the lead, you're gonna take..
- You're gonna take the lead.
- I'm going with him.
- 'Cause you're better looking.
- Do I tuck my shirt in?
I don't care,
you look like you're gonna
fix the computer anyway.
Let's go!
That's a fucking
shitty thing to.. Okay.
[HIP HOP MUSIC]
Andrew!
Oh! How you doin', big dog?
Big dog!
How you doin'?
We're here to rush, we're here.
Bids went out yesterday.
Bids don't go out
till the end of rush week.
Yeah, uh, but ours do.
Hey, thanks for having me, man.
- Yeah, man. Yeah.
- Appreciate it.
Um, well, that's fine.
We are very flexible.
We've got a lot of
free time on our hands.
You let us know, and we can
we can be back here
anytime you want.
So, you got, you know,
you've got my Facebook
and you stay, uh,
you stay fresh.
And, uh, I want you
to stay fresh.
Thank... thanks for your time.
Day drink time.
Day drink boys!
Yeah, day drink.
They said... they said
2 o'clock, so I don't..
- A.m. or p.m.?
- Oh, hi!
How you doin'?
Hi!
Oh, oh,
just could I get one second?
Could I have one... one...
one quick second, please?
Um, we... we were invited
to the day drink
and I'm noticing
it's not a lot.. No one's here.
- You missed it.
- Missed it.
Okay, well, um, is anyone home,
is anyone inside?
Maybe we could hang out?
- No.
- No, it's not...
Um, what's your name,
by the way?
- Got to be kidding me.
- Nailed it, okay.
Moving on, guys.
We're moving on.
Roll out.
That sucked.
I shouldn't date
non-Jews anyways, so it's..
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Fuck Kappa.
Oh, yeah, fuck Kappa.
Hi!
Hey, hi.
Hi.
Uh..
Hey, wh... what are you guys
doing tonight?
Oh, we're headed to,
um, to, to Beta Chi.
That's a shame. Hold this.
When you get bored,
you guys should come by.
Yeah, I, uh, definitely.
I... I'd like that.
We'd like that.
- You're all friends, right?
- We're close, we're tight.
We're best friends.
Good, well,
this is good for three.
- That's convenient.
- You guys better make it!
Well, we're gonna try to..
We're gonna try
to make that happen.
- Promise?
- I promise.
- Uh-huh.
- Good.
Oh, my God.
[BLOWING A RASPBERRY]
I would swallow her underwear.
Alright, after Beta Chi,
we're going to that party, okay?
- Definitely.
- Deal.
- Alright, Beta Chi time.
- Let's go.
Beta Chi time.
[HIP HOP MUSIC]
Alright, guys,
act natural, okay?
Stop saying "Act natural."
What does that mean,
"Act natural"?
Derek!
Derek! Derek,
there you are, you bitch.
How you doin'?
- Do I know you?
- Yeah. I am, uh..
Ah, you remember we met, uh..
You're the admin for the group.
You're on the group,
the rush group?
I'm David.
[MUSIC CONTINUES]
What's good with you?
Hey, guys.
Ah, you guys rushing?
No, no, we're just,
we're just checking it out.
You guys, um, hear anything
about the pledging?
Uh, no, no. We didn't...
We didn't hear anything.
You know, I doubt they're gonna
let anybody haze anyway
after last year.
I just heard it was
gonna be like a lot of drinking
maybe some weird naked shit.
Uh, sorry,
what weird naked shit?
I'm up for anything.
Is that like your thing?
- Weird naked shit?
- No. What?
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Do you... do you... do you..
[MUSIC CONTINUES]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
What about, what about Kristen?
I had her good last night, man.
- No way!
- Yeah.
Oh, how'd you meet her?
Wh... where'd you meet her?
Did you meet her here?
I'm not saying
I wouldn't be into naked..
Listen to a conversation
for once in your life.
- Alright, take it down a notch.
- Are you kidding me right now?
Nice meeting you guys,
I'm gonna go.
Yo, it's alright, man.
- That's awesome.
- Cool, man.
Y'all, I'll catch you guys
a lil' later.
I'm gonna get a drink.
You got drinks in the back?
Yeah, alright,
I'm gonna get a drink.
- Hey, how are things going?
- I'm being very natural.
- Okay, alright.
- Very, very poorly.
Ah, yeah, I'm kinda
having that problem too.
I don't know, my jokes,
they're not landing.
- Wow, shocker.
- Hey, Daniel.
It's David.
Yeah, um, this is a closed
rush party, man.
Okay, if we did
something wrong
we'd love
constructive criticism.
Please just tell us,
we wanna know.
Please don't tell us,
I don't wanna know.
I'd like to, we'd like to.
You're just not the right..
You guys are weird.
- We're weird?
- Yes.
- We're weird?
- Yes.
Well, that's..
We're weird?
- Yes.
- We're weird?
The sixth time and still...
He's weird?
You're saying he's weird?
I'm getting sick
of this, let's go.
Let's give 'em the beer,
get 'em the hell out of here.
I don't want your fucking beer.
David, just take the beer..
- It's okay.
- You're gonna regret this.
- Get outta here.
- Big time, big time.
Thank you for your hospitality.
Fuck Beta,
let's go to that other part..
What is that?
What, are you mad at me?
Oh, no, I love being humiliated!
Oh, my God.
Look, I threw a Hail Mary!
I took a big risk, you know
and I wanted
to make it happen for us.
I don't think that's so bad.
Can we just go
to this girl's party
and forget about that frat?
- It's so not worth it.
- There is no party, man!
It's clearly a prank.
Alright, fine,
a prank by her would be amazing.
I would love to be pranked
by a girl like that.
Look, let's just,
let's go back to the dorm
we'll get drunk, alright?
Obviously, this night's
not working out.
- Thank you.
- But that's not..
It's not just tonight.
If we go home and we,
and we just give up
that's the next four years.
That's just us drinking
and playing Xbox
and doing nothing
for the rest of college.
That doesn't sound bad.
That sounds way better
than someone making fun of me
every time I walk
through their door.
[SIGHING]
David, I can't even
get this address anymore.
I mean, can you read that?
What do you want me to...
I know the address, so don't
worry about the address.
I got that in my head.
It says nothing, I mean, what
if we can't find this place?
If we can't find the place,
I will call a cab immediately.
Right away, okay?
You'll pay for the cab?
Of course, I'll pay for the cab.
You'll get me an egg cream
on the way home?
I was gonna buy you
an egg cream no matter what.
- Can we go?
- Yeah, fine.
- Alright. Yeah.
- I'm in.
- Thank you.
- Okay, last chance, man.
Yes, that's all I'm asking for.
[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]
Alright, guys, I think, uh..
This is, um, this is it.
What is this?
It's a driveway.
- With grass?
- Yeah, with grass. Come on.
Guys, this is just a prank,
I'm going to sit down.
No, do not sit down.
It is impossible to get you up
when you sit down, let's go.
Would you pl..
Oh, goddamnit.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
[MUSIC CONTINUES]
Ow!
Ow! Fucking ticks.
D-David?
[CHUCKLING]
Oh, my God,
does that look like a prank?
That's the best prank
in the world.
- Uh, yeah.
- Come on, let's go. Come on.
[SIGHING]
- It's amazing!
- Hey, hey, that. Look at that.
- She's really cute!
- Yeah.
Oh, man!
- I would love to meet her.
- Yeah, this is good.
I think this is
the best I'll do, you know?
Well, give yourself
some credit.
You know, they're kinda,
like, better from afar
so we don't mess it up.
That's what
I'm saying exactly, yeah.
When you get close
and then you disappoint
and you have to talk and you
have to like impress them.
Is it weird that I'm aroused?
I'm also very sweaty, I think...
- Hey, guys!
- Oh!
- Hey.
- Whoa!
I'm sorry,
I didn't mean to spook ya.
Yeah, so... sorry, we thought
it was an a... abandoned house.
No. No, not quite.
Okay.
You wanna join us?
- Yeah!
- Yes, yes, definitely.
- Yeah.
- Definitely, yes.
I think that'll be really good.
We, we're not doing,
I think we're free.
Thank you, sir,
bless your heart.
You're a really good guy,
I won't let you down.
- I'm Ricky, by the way.
- I'm Ethan, thank you.
- I'm Justin.
- Great.
- I, ah..
- Great, here.
- Oh! Take that.
- Okay.
- Just picked up.
- Oh, these are heavy!
[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
It's at least like,
200 years old.
- That's right.
- Yeah.
Let yourselves in.
Yeah.
Oh, merlot.
I'm big, I'm big on merlot.
[DOOR CREAKING]
Gentlemen!
- Meet Maxwell Peterson III.
- Oh, call me Max.
What's your name?
- Ethan.
- Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you, Justin!
- What about you, man?

New England Colonial,

It's just.. Yeah.
So... so do you guys
live here or, uh..
Yeah. I mean, it's a long
drive to class, but..
Oh, sorry.
Totally fucking worth it.
What he said.
So, uh, can I get you guys
a drink or anything?
- I would like to hang out, yes.
- Excellent. You two with me?
- Alright, you're with me.
- Let's do it.
- Let's do it to it.
- Oh.
Do anyone of you like Scotch?
Oh! Oh, man.
What is that, liquid brick?
How's rush week going, man?
- Yeah, it's, you know.
- Huh?
It's kind of a,
a little bit of a mixed bag
but, you, what year are you?
- I'm a senior.
- Oh..
You look like a senior.
Yeah.
[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]
Whoa.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Wh... what,
what frat is this again?
Say hello to Bret.
Uh, hello, Bret.
No, I'm good, I had a beer at..
Okay, sure. Uh..
- Uh, cheers.
- Mm, the good stuff.
- Oh, no, thanks.
- You don't want any?
- No, I'm good.
- That's premium vodka.
I don't drink.
Well, that's pretty
fucking rude.
Oh, thank you.
[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]
Come on, guys,
we've got more people to meet.
Chill, man, it's cool.
Wow!
[CHUCKLING]
Oh, yeah, oh.
Are you gonna go talk to 'em?
Yeah, I just, uh, I'm gonna
do a little strategizing
and I'm gonna,
I'm gonna get over there.
Ben, man, sup?
- How's it goin', man?
- Yeah.
Did you guys meet David yet?
No, hey.
David was just telling us
about his, um, his strategy.
Oh, yeah?
I mean, it's..
Wheels are turning.
Come on, man,
I'll introduce you!
No, that's okay,
you've gotta...
Come on.
There's a method to my madness.
I'll do it. I'll..
You could introduce me, I'll...
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Ladies, please,
meet Sam, Ben, David.
Hi.

You look like
my little brother.
Thank you.
Th... thank you for saying that.
- Anybody wanna do a shot?
- Shots?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Yes, please.
- I'll do shots.
- Shots are my middle name.
Anyone want a special shot?
I'll.. I'd like, I'd like that.
- Yeah? You?
- I'd like that.
What's a special shot?
- That's a special shot.
- Oh!
[CHUCKLING]
Pleasure's all you, bro.
How many special shots
are we doing here?
Um, o... okay.
See, I didn't realize that,
Stacey, you were not specific
'cause if he's doing...
- Cheers!
- Cheers!
Cheers! Are we doing
another special shot?
Or is that the last...
Drink your fucking shot, David.
Oh!
- Ooh!
- Whew!
- Whoo! Yeah.
- Alright, come on, boys.
- There's more party to be had.
- Okay.
- Alright!
- You're welcome.
- I'll see you later, right?
- Whoa!
Awesome, man!
And you, talk to you later.
Bye!
Enjoy the party.
- David, come on, man.
- A hundred percent.
I will do that.
Yeah.
[HIP HOP MUSIC]
Yeah.
[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]
Your shirt is so soft!
Thanks, it's my favorite.
This is so amazing.
- You should.. Not now, man.
- This is so amazing.
This is so..
[DAVID LAUGHING]
Hi, I'm David, I'm David.
- She doesn't care.
- No, but it's okay.
[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]
[TECHNO MUSIC]
[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]
[MUSIC CONTINUES]
[MUSIC CONTINUES]
[LAUGHTER AT DISTANT]
Oh, yeah, this one.
[BEEPING]
- Don't touch the fucking...
- Sorry.
I thought I told you
not to touch the door.
- I'm sorry, Ethan.
- Uh, I... I'm sorry!
No, it's, uh, it's my fault.
I... I... I asked her to show me
where the bathroom is.
- Uh, I apologize.
- That's great, it's fine. Yeah.
Don't worry about it,
it's just, you know
we keep our valuables
down there, and so..
- Don't touch the door.
- Okay.
- Everything okay?
- Yeah, everything's fine.
You guys want a drink?
- Yeah.
- Great! Cool, lead the way.
Why don't you show him
where the drinks are?
[LOCKS LATCHING]
[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]
After midnight
It turns into a scene
You can't see right
Is it all a dream?
After midnight
It turns into a scene
You can't see right
Is it all a dream?
After midnight
It turns into a scene
You can't see right
Is it all a dream?
[JUSTIN WHIMPERING]
[MAXWELL CHUCKLING]
We have to kick
you guys out, sorry.
Yeah, we need to crash.
It's morning time.
- I really thank you.
- Wild night.
- Did you have fun?
- Come on, boys.
Alright, sure. I mean,
I hope we didn't
overstay our welcome and all.
I really appreciate
your having us.
What are you guys
doin' tomorrow?
Nothing, why?
We really like you guys.
We think you might be
club material.
Well, that...
that's really great.
- We really like you, too.
- This was so much fun.
Good, so, uh, pack a bag
and we'll see you
tonight at 8:00.
So is this like a,
is this like a bid?
Eight o'clock.
- Alright.
- Okay.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]
Dude, you told us
to get dressed two hours ago.
Why are you still
getting packed?
'Cause it takes
a very long time
to get me to look
this good, alright?
Hey, do you think
those girls are there a lot?
Yeah, are you kidding?
They're probably there
all the time.
It's an amazing house.
My question is,
does the club own a yacht?
Because I've always wanted
to get a blow job on a yacht.
I think maybe
you should focus on, you know
like kissing a girl
or just a regular
blow job first.
Guys, if we had
a house like that
the girls would
definitely come to us.
Alright, this whole
thing could be pretty fun.
It's going to be incredible.
[EERIE MUSIC]
[SCRAPING]
[MUSIC CONTINUES]
Hello?
- David?
- Hello?
- Just go in their house?
- I don't know how.
Hello?
- Okay.
- Are we, uh, are we early?
Wow.
Guys?
[DOOR SQUEAKING]
Welcome, gentlemen.
Hi, Max, did you get much sleep?
Put the bags on the floor
and get in line.
The three of us
were talking last night.
We realized
we might have given you
the wrong idea about our club.
You see, our club is not about
beautiful women and drugs.
No, those are by-products.
By-products of a singular focus.
You see, the Crypteia
produces the best.
Each and every member
dominates his field.
Advertising, tech, finance.
So, if you pledge today, yes
there are gonna be
beautiful women
and lots of parties,
but more importantly
you're gonna have a future
so fucking bright
that you're gonna need
sunglasses
every time you look
in the mirror.
Have I cleared this up?
- Yeah, that sounds good.
- That sounds good.
I think the word he was
looking for is, "Yes, sir."
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.
- Uh..
- Oh, no, no, no.
You will speak
once you're spoken to.
Yes, sir.
- You had a question.
- Yes.
Uh, is... is there gonna be more
pledges or is... is this it?
[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]
I don't think
you're hearing me, Sam.
You see, this club is exclusive.
There are never more
than ten active members
on campus at any time.
You're at the doorway
to the elite.
But that doesn't mean
you won't have to work for it.
You see, privilege
comes with hard work
comes with... sacrifice.
So are you ready to pledge?
- Yes, sir!
- Yes, sir!
Louder, our members
don't mumble!
- Yes, sir!
- Yes, sir!
Are you ready
to be kings of the campus?
- Yes, sir!
- Do you have what it takes?
- Yes, sir!
- Louder!
- Yes, sir!
- Yes, sir!
One more time!
- Yes, sir!
- Good!
Over the next 48 hours,
you will be tested
physically, mentally
emotionally.
Make us proud.
We're in this together.
- Phones, now.
- What?
Come on, everybody, in the bag.
O... okay.
Line up!
[SIGHING]
[CLAPPING]
[CLEARING THROAT]
Alright, so, every year,
we pick a class president.
Uh, who'd would like
to volunteer?
I could do it, I mean,
I was very active in
high school politics.
Great!
I resign as president.
Well, as president,
I'm gonna need you to
make a decision here.
Right, um, I resigned.
Do we brand you
or everybody else?
I think there's some
confusion here.
Time's up!
What the fuck?
What the fuck?
[SCREAMING]
You're gonna have to think
faster than that, cocksuckers.
[SCREAMING]
Indecisiveness
will get you hurt.
David, you had
a perfect opportunity
and you messed it up.
You see, guys, that is exactly
what you have this weekend
a perfect opportunity to go
through 48 hours of hell.
Yes, mind you, but still
come out on top.
Right, Paul Blart?
[CLANKING]
Who's next?
You just said
that if he got branded
the rest of us
didn't have to do it.
That was only
if he made a decision.
I'm gonna need you
to lean forward for me.
No, man, I'm not
doing that, I'm not doing that.
- It's quick, guys.
- Ricky, come on, man.
There's gotta be another way.
Somethin' else, you know?
Sorry, bud.
[FIRE CRACKLING]
Can I pick the spot?
Sure, man.
Okay.
[WHIMPERING]
Just like... right there, okay?
[CHUCKLING]
Can... can you give me
a countdown?
Yeah, sure, one.
[SCREAMING]
- Oh, God!
- That's so fucked up!
Oh, my God!
- I'm not doing this?
- Oh, my God!
I can't do this.
I can't do this.
Oh, come on,
we're gonna brand you
for all the right reasons.
I'm not gonna do it.
It's not a walk-on, boys.
If I don't even get picked,
then I'm just branded.
I don't want this!
- Turn around!
- This is fucked up.
- I, I can't do this.
- Shh.
It's either cheek...
or cheek.
Ah, just come on,
just do it quick.
Just do it quick.
Ah..
Say, "Thank you,
President David!"
Oh, God, thank you,
President David.
Cute butt!
[SCREAMING]
[LAUGHING]
Fuck! Fuck!
[SCREAMING]
- Beautiful.
- Alright, time out.
This isn't happening.
Pause, guys.
- How about you, Spike Lee?
- David, Justin, I'm sorry.
I'm... I'm... I'm through
with this.
Stop, wait, please, please.
Calm down, calm down, calm down.
- I wanna go home. No. No.
- Calm down. Okay.
Ricky, please,
I just wanna go home.
Sorry, I'm... I'm... I'm
through with this.
Alright, you can go.
- Give me your word.
- Okay, okay.
- I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
- Thank you, Ricky.
I appreciate it.
No, no, oh!
[SCREAMING]
[JUSTIN LAUGHING]
- And you!
- No!
[GRUNTING]
[GROANING]
Okay, great.
Cool off. Dinner's in five.
We're having pork chops!
[PANTING]
Fuck.
He said it would be
five seconds.
It's way more than five seconds.
Guys, it's... it's just hazing,
it's just hazing.
Okay. I know it
fucking sucks, I know. I...
Look, I've heard of way worse.
You've heard of fraternities
that brand people?
Yeah, sure, sure!
My brother told me
that at his frat
the president chopped
a pledge's finger off one time.
That's not hazing,
that's fucking torture.
This... this doesn't happen
at a fraternity, okay?
We need to contact
the authorities.
It's not a fraternity,
you know, it's a social club
so let's just keep that in mind.
Come on, guys,
look, when he comes back in
I'm saying somethin',
we're going home.
No, you're not, okay?
What the fuck are you
talking about?
I didn't come here
to get branded and leave!
David, take a look around.
We're all hurt, okay?
We can't keep doing this
for 48 hours. Look at him!
No, you're not saying
a word, I swear to God!
[KNOCKING]
- Don't fucking blow it!
- I won't..
[DOOR OPENING]
Hey!
That was fucking crazy.
You all okay?
That was shitty, Ricky.
I know.
But when you're pledging,
it's supposed to be shitty.
Right.
Look, guys,
I hate this as much as you do
but if we wanna get there, we
have to keep to tradition first.
Come on, man, I can't do this.
I... I can't do that, man.
Hey. Justin, come on, man.
Look..
It's getting too intense,
let me know.
I'll make 'em ease up.
Okay?
Come on, come on.
[GROANING]
[EERIE MUSIC]
[DOG BARKING IN DISTANCE]
Rachel. Rachel, don't go.
She probably just stayed over.
Rachel!
Just wait till it's over.
[CAR ENGINE WHIRRING]
In line, gentlemen.
Take your positions.
On your knees.
Now!
Bowls.
Oh, my God.
Oh, that doesn't..
We have prepared
something very special.
Oh!
[INHALES DEEPLY]
Smells good, doesn't it?
[CHOPPING]
- Bret's quite the chef.
- Oh!
Gotta love the seasoning.
Oh.
Bon appetit, boys.
Uh, I'm... I'm sorry,
um, what's in this exactly?
[WHIRRING]
What does this
have to do with the club?
Just eat the soup.

You brought us here.
You got us branded, you did all

Oh, this is my fault?
You didn't want to be here?
No, man! I didn't

And you know what?

What the fuck does that mean?
When they asked to brand

The Crypteia is dedicated

the future leaders
of our great nation.
Formally established in 1852
the club boasts traditions that
date back to ancient Sparta.
Our members include heads of
industry, politicians

Wow, talk about
an alumni network.
Of all the animals, the
Crypteia celebrates the rat.
While most regard the rat
as a lowly creature
one should not overlook
its most valuable trait
tunnel vision.
If a rat is hungry,
if it truly wants something
it will tear through
any obstacle
be it dirt, brick, flesh,
or even wood.
If you value your goal,
you could do the same.
Think you have what it takes?
Bust a gut

How long have we been in here?
Well, you've been here

Yeah, sure, I'll get you

Don't worry, I've taken
good care of you so far.
Ethan, you're my golden boy.
Why don't you take
this golden seat?
I am terribly sorry for the way
you've been treated so far.
It's all part
of the hazing process
so there's nothing
to worry about, okay?
Now, I have someone
very special that will help
you know, lift your spirits,
alright?
What do you say, guys?
Can I get a little excitement?
Come on, give me

Okay, clap, there we go!
Okay, so, cue music.

Don't worry,

I will tell you outside.
We have to go.
This is a bad idea.
We're almost done here, guys.
Are you sure? Because I think
staying here is a real bad idea.

We were gonna go get some food.
We were feeling...
We're leaving.
Come on.
You're almost done.
Hey, look,
Ethan's really hurt
and he needs to see
a doctor or a nurse.
You know, I think, like,
a nurse with an actual
medical degree
and not just a outfit.
If you leave, that's it.
You're out.
You get that, right?
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
Let's just..
Let's get your phones,
your bags..
- And cab home on me.
- Thank you, but I'd rather go.
- We need to get our phones.
- Why do we need our phones?
Fuck it,
I'll get a new one.
Campus is, like, two miles away,

We need to call a cab.
Fuckin' fine. Can... can we just

Okay.

Yes, they do,
I texted them.
Right when we got here,
I texted them.
I checked all your phones.
Look, we... we just wanna go.
Ethan's really hurt.
- Let us go.
- On your knees.
Okay, this isn't necessary.
If you could just
let us walk out the door
right now,
everything'll be fine.
Will you just get on
the fucking floor?
No, okay? Now we are leaving,
and that's it!
Alright, I... I'm sorry, I know
this was a big opportunity
and I was excited,
but it's over.
