[mysterious music]
[Narrator] In the not too distant future,
conflict and violence run rampant.
- [glass shatters] - [explosion rumbles]
Corruption and hypocrisy have been repeatedly exposed
in governments and religious systems.
Terrorists and anarchist cells
took advantage of society's crumbling moral code,
stoking already tense fears,
growing stronger in the divide
and desperation and unrest reached a boiling point
within an evermore divided nation,
once called the United States of America.
What was once a nation by the people and for the people
devolved into chaos,
violence,
and civil war.
Countless civilian lives were lost.
As America struggled to rebuild,
rumors began spreading
of a secret society known only as the Collective.
To this day, their true motive remains unknown
because no one who the Collective has chosen,
has ever been heard from again.
[Masked Captor] Let's begin.

[mysterious music]
[Priest] I want you to keep this a little longer, okay?
How can I help you, my son?
You don't remember me, do you?
Well, how can I help you?
I was just a toy for you, you sick fuck!
Alek?
[dramatic music]
What's good for the shepherd is great for the flock.
[priest hyperventilating]
[Alek] You sure that's what you want to say to me right now?
Hey think, think about this.
Think about it.
I have thought about it.
[gunshot blasts]

[Alek coughs]
[window and door rattling]
[Alek grunting]
[car beeps]
Oh!
[cellphone buzzing]
Hello? I'm, I'm stuck out here.
[Mysterious Voice 1] This is your first test.
[Messenger] How will you respond,
- Mr. O'Connor? - Who is this?
Are you here? Where are you?
[Reporter] In other news tonight,
police officials in Los Angeles
are reporting a brutal murder of Father Spencer Albright,
a cherished local priest.
[Messenger] You thought you could run from this?
[Alek] Wait, you want money?
Is that what you want?
I've got nothing, okay?
I've got nothing left.
What could you possibly want from me?
- [Voice 1] Your life. - [Messenger] Is in your hands.
Listen to me.
- [electricity zaps] - Ah!
Goddamn it.
[Voice 1] Are you listening closely?
Yeah.
What do you want from me?
[Voice 1] What happens next is up to you.
What?
[Both Voices] Run, and you will suffer.
Wait, wait. What does that mean?
[Voice 1] Surrender, Mr. O'Connor.
[Both] This is your first test.
Goddamn you.
[cellphone beeping]

[paper crunching]
[engine roaring distantly]
[suspenseful music]
Whoa.

[Alek] Come on! [grunts]
[car sputters]
[dramatic music]
[masked captor breathing heavily]
[weapon buzzes]
[electricity zaps]
[body thuds]
[Messenger] I told you not to run.
[Alek] What do you want from me?
[Messenger] Now your life will be in their hands.
Mr. O'Connor, why do you deserve to live?
What the fuck is this?
[radio presenter chattering]
[Alek groans]
[body crumples]
[dramatic music]
[suspenseful music]
- [Woman] Show him. - [Messenger] Alek O'Connor,
you have been chosen.
[Alek shouts]
[static crackles]
[Woman] What are you willing to give up to be free?
[ominous music]
[gas hissing]
[ominous music]
[static buzzing]
[Alek gasps]
[gas hisses]
[static crackling]
[gas discharging]
[Messenger] There are three rules.
- [static crackling] - [gas escaping]
[heavy breathing]
Do not attempt to leave.
[gas hissing]
Do not disturb the collar.
Do not kill another participant
until you are ready.
[man gasping]
[ominous music]
The parasite is among you.
[computer voice] Will you do whatever it takes to live?
[helicopter thrumming]
Your next trial begins now.
[Messenger] Choose or die.
[rumbling]
[Captive] What the hell is this?
[prisoners murmuring]
[computer voice] Do not attempt to cross the threshold.
You have been warned.
[Prisoner] What's going on?
- Wait. - [Darren] Shake out your legs.
[Alek] Maybe it's all just a sick game?
[Pierce] Yeah, but what do they want?
Why play us?
[Patrick] My memory is still rotten.
[Prisoner] What is this?
[Alek] So what is the goddamn answer?
We have to come up with an answer.
[Mysterious Voice 1] Choose.
Or die.
[Alek] Come on. We need more information!
What is it you want from us?
[Messenger] The parasite is among you.
[electricity humming]
Why do you deserve to live?
- That's the answer you want. - Here we go.
[Darren] Shit! We only got 60 minutes.
[Ramirez] To hell with this, man.
I'm gonna be over here. Fucking obvious, man.
They want us to kill someone.
[Pierce] Okay, at the beginning, when we were waking
up, when the guy was ripping the mask off.
What? What was the voice saying?
They said something about some rules.
- Who are you? - [Alek] Something about this
- collar. - I don't know who you are either
but they said something about these collars.
They said something about a solution.
[Darren] Don't touch the collars.
[Alek] Don't touch each other.
[Ramirez] What's with the fucking leash?
I would back up.
It's like a goddamn electric cage or something.
[Darren] Hold on. What parasite?
I don't know.
He said something about it.
Something about a parasite. What was it?
Some kind of disease? Some kind of virus?
[Alek] Hold on, just everyone cool down.
[Lozano laughing]
[Darren] What's funny, man? What's funny?
[O'Connor] And there's an answer.
What do you say about an answer?
[Darren] What is he laughing at?
Do you know something we don't know?
What are you laughing at?
I tell you. I've learned more sitting here,
being silent watching all of you.
Okay, so what's the solution, man?
I'm ready to hear it.
Anyone know what that means?
Huh? You wanna play me?
Shut your fucking mouth!
You grab me, you grab me and it's gonna go down.
You shut your mouth!
You grab me! You don't hear a damn thing!
- [Ramirez] Shut your mouth! - You don't hear nothing!
[Darren] Come on, this is a waste of time.
No, no, no, no!
[electricity zapping]
Whoa!
[Prisoner] Get him up. Let go, man.
[electricity zapping]
[prisoners screaming]
[Bartender] What will it be?
[Alek] It doesn't matter, man.
Just gimme something, please.
[Stranger] I'll join him.
Put him on my tab.
[Bartender] You got it.
What's this?
[Woman] What are you willing to give up to be free?
[child screaming]
[captives coughing]
[Alek] Okay, just breathe. You've gotta breathe. Breathe.
[captives groaning]
[Captive] You tried to run and we all got messed up,
but I'm the bad guy?
[Ramirez] That guy's got a point.
Don't you ever do that again, or I'll beat your ass.
You hear me?
[Prisoner] Hey, listen!
Do any of us have anything in common?
I don't know you guys.
We're all being judged by God.
[Lozano] Hey, look, look, look, look.
Can we just calm down?
Let me just start with something real quick, alright?
Can we just calmly, calmly,
but calmly can we just introduce ourselves real quick?
Maybe we can figure something out that way.
And what's your name?
My name is Father Patrick Briar.
Now, hold on, hold on.
[electricity hums]
[Alek] Just tell me what you want.
[Lozano] Kevin Lozano.
I'm in the automotive industry.
What about you?
See, we can figure out something that connects us.
[Prisoner] Maybe.
[Prisoner] This, this can't all just be a coincidence.
[Lozano] Hey, we're going somewhere. Just relax.
If you don't mind, brother. What's your name?
[Alek] My name's Alek.
And what do you do?
[Alek] I'm a nobody.
[Ramirez] They said, "the parasite's among you".
Maybe it's you.
[Alek] I got a desk job. That's the truth.
[Ramirez] So why don't you tell us what you did?
Hold on. Hold on, man. Just--
Just, I'm just trying to make sense of all this, man.
What's your name?
[Darren] Darren Cartwright.
- [Lozano] And what do you do? - [Darren] Look. Look.
Okay, look, I'm a junior professor in my department.
- [Ramirez] Professor of what? - Human studies.
[Alek] Human studies, human studies.
[Ramirez] What's your deal? Why are you here?
I don't know why I'm here.
[ominous music]
[Darren] And what about you, man?
What's your name?
[Alek] Guys, we gotta speed this up.
Look, all I know is we're gonna die.
[Messenger] Then let's see if you deserve to live.
[ominous music]
[Darren] We just wasted five minutes.
[Prisoner] Shit! What the hell?
We have to discover the parasite.
[Prisoner] What do we do?
[Prisoner] The parasite! The parasite was among us.
[Darren] I gotta get outta here, man.
- [Ramirez] How did you get here? - I don't remember.
We're running outta time.
[Alek] Look, I woke up in the desert.
I don't know how I got there.
- [Lozano] I don't know either. - [Darren] I woke up in the
desert too!
- [Alek] Me too. - [Prisoner] What?
Did you guys have something written on the car?
Wait, wait, wait.
It's coming back to me. Now it's coming back to me.
There was something written on the car.
There was a word on the car.
- [Darren] I had a word on the car too!
[Lozano] No, I remember the word, man.
- I remember that too. - What was your word?
- It was, uh. - [Ramirez] What?
- I had the word "victim". - Doesn't make any sense.
[mysterious music]
[Alek] Surrender.
Atone.
Fear.
Guilty.
Selfish.
Matter.
[Alek] Yeah, but what got you here?
I was attacked by men in a van.
They were testing me.
They knew I'd run.
Why else would they leave me in the desert
just to put me in here?
[Messenger] How will you respond?
[Alek] They threw me in this van and they said--
[Messenger] Now your life will be in their hands.
[Alek] No. No. That's not all they said.
They said, uh,
"Fate guides those who will
"to those that don't it drags."
That's right. You're right.
- Yes. - I remember that now.
[Messenger] Fate guides the willing but drags the unwilling.
What the fuck does that mean?
Yeah.
If we try to run, they will win.
There has to be something else.
[Darren] There's gotta be, there's gotta.
[Alek] You didn't wake up in here, did you?
I, I don't remember.
Look, when they first brought me here,
I, I woke up in this room.
They pulled this hood off of me.
I was surrounded by more of those soldiers.
- [Darren] Yeah, me too. - [Ramirez] Me too.
[Khalid] Yeah, that's the only thing I can remember.
[Ramirez] Did, did you get in a van?
What did you see? What did you remember?
I'm a-- I'm a mechanic.
They must have tapped my security feed at my body shop.
They've been watching me.
They knew everything.
It was like they were testing, almost tempting me.
Why am I here?
You've been spying on me?
Tell me, who are you?
What does that mean?
[electricity humming]
[Lozano] Try to find the key.
Climb on this rope.
Let, let's attack these motherfuckers.
Listen, I could take a--
[Messenger] You thought you could run from this.
[Lozano] Come on. They're playing with our minds, man.
They play with your mind.
They control your heart, your mind, everything.
Listen man, there's seven of us.
We rush them fast enough.
We could get all three of 'em.
We're not going through there.
We can't get through there.
[Alek] Consider for a second that we are right.
[Ramirez] He said the parasite was among us.
[Alek] Determine the parasite. Isn't that what he said?
- One answer. - [Alek] There's one answer,
right? So what is that one answer for us?
- [Briar] Come on. Huh? - Come on?
Why are we here? Why are you here?
- Shit! - [Briar] Come on!
[Ramirez] Is it one of us?
[Briar] Ah!
- [Ramirez] Heads up, heads up. - [Pierce] What the fuck?
[Ramirez] No you better, fuck.
[Pierce] No, oh my God!
You better not touch my fucking son!
[Alek] What is this? Who is that?
You better not touch my son. Get out of there right now!
- [Alek] Who is that? - What are you guys doing?
What is this?
What the fuck are they doing with my fiancee?
[Pierce] You're not gonna get away with this!
I swear to God, if you touch my son, I will kill you!
[Darren] If you touch her,
I will destroy every last one of you!
They got all our families.
They got all our families!
They've been following us.
They've been watching us.
[Pierce] If they got my kid, I gotta kill 'em.
You'd do the same.
- Hey, what are you gonna do? - [Ramirez] Relax.
We gotta figure this out. We know that.
We know they got something on us.
Hey, calm down. We gotta turn it around.
We gotta, we gotta wait 'til we're ready.
[Prisoner] How the hell do we know when we're ready?
[Darren] This isn't right.
How do we know what we're hiding?
We got no choice.
We have to focus in and figure this shit out.
[Ramirez] What? What do you suggest?
- What are you thinking? - [Alek] Okay.
There has to be something else.
Some reason we're all here.
[clock whirring]
[computer voice] 50 minutes remaining.
[Reporter] Yet another Riverside priest has been relieved
of his duties amid surfacing allegations of sexual abuse.
Reports allege that Father Patrick Briar,
a once respected member of the Archdiocese of Chicago,
abused several boys in his position--
[Ramirez] You're raping children?
[Darren] Jack his ass up!
- [Ramirez] You make me sick! - [Alek] What? What?
What do you want from us?
[voices echoing]
[Darren] Wait. Don't touch him.
We still don't know what we're dealing with.
Hey, people put their children in your hands
because they trust you!
- Look. - [Darren] You're a hypocrite!
- [Briar] I know! - [Echoing Voice] You don't know!
[voices echoing]
[Darren] That's how we get outta here.
He's gotta die.
[Briar] I always try to be gentle.
[Alek] You think this is a joke?
You motherfucker!
[all arguing]
[Pierce] Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Out, back up.
[Alek] Son? Why don't you rape me now, motherfucker?
- I've already been warned. - [Alek] Get us outta here!
Rule two, I don't know why we're here.
[Alek] What do you want?
[Messenger] The parasite.
[computer voice] Kill the parasite.
[ominous music]
[Alek] You ever feel like you could kill someone?
Sure have.
You do whatever it takes.
The real question is what if there were a way?
It'll continue to haunt you until you really deal with it.
[card plops down]
[card slides]
What's this?
[Stranger] Your chance.
[ominous music]
Your chance.
[voice echoing]
[Prisoner] That sick fuck should be the one to die.
What the fuck does it mean?
[Prisoner] We gotta vote. Let's vote and finish this.
[Alek] What do I know?
I know I don't trust any of you guys.
That's what I know.
[Briar] We're all sinners.
- We all need redemption. - Oh shit.
What if they want a confession?
I had a man like him steal my life from me
and I spent the rest of my life suffering for it.
[Lozano] You know, I thought this shit was real
until you got these guys
trying to get a confession out of me, huh?
He knows what I'm talking about.
Why does he know what you're talking about?
You know him?
- [Darren] What is he talking about?
You know him? Look at them, man.
They're all sitting right here.
It's obvious they want us to kill someone.
[Pierce] Yeah, well if they have my son
- and I gotta kill someone. - [Darren] Pig man.
Someone's making money off of this shit.
I'm telling you, man.
They, the-- Someone's making money
off of watching us suffer!
- [Alek] It's not my place to-- - [Darren] You just think,
you think everybody is listening.
[Briar] Why don't we just wait until--
- [Ramirez] Quiet now. - [Lozano] Ah, forget this shit.
I'm gonna be in my office.
Come on, man. Huh?
Why don't you come with me?
[all chattering]
- [Ramirez] What's this laughing for? Shut up!
- What's happening? - [laughs] I know this guy.
- Wait. - Shut your mouth!
- [Alek] You know him? - [Lozano laughing]
[Lozano] Oh yeah, yeah.
Let me tell you guys about Castor fucking Ramirez, huh?
Yeah, he's so smart.
He knows all you guys, huh?
He has no soul.
[Lozano] You really had me going, huh?
That's my daughter!
[Lozano] News report, now all these guys in masks.
Right, huh?
Where you dig this shit up, huh?
We've all been kidnapped.
In case you haven't figured that out.
What is that for?
[Lozano] Why don't you come clean, Doc?
Only you can get to my wife and my kid, man.
[dramatic music]
[display buzzing]
[metal clanging]
[Lozano] Why don't you just admit the game, man?
And stop playing, huh?
You don't got me fooled, brother.
[Prisoner] This is a fucking game, it's a fucking game.
[Darren] Angelica Warren.
A child's blood is on your hands.
[Ramirez] One of us is a dead man and it ain't gonna be me.
We're all fucking criminals in this room.
Oh, I see how it is, man.
What, you gonna rat me out to everyone here, huh?
[Darren] What does that have to do with you and you?
'Cause we don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
- [TV Woman] He has no soul. - What is that?
- [TV] That's my daughter. - He stole the car
and there was a girl in the back seat of that car!
[Lozano] I don't know nothing about that, man.
- [TV] He has no soul! - And now she's dead.
- [TV] That's my daughter! - 3-year-old child.
[Ramirez] Dead, because of the choice that you made!
- Motherfucker! Huh? - [static buzzing]
[Priest] Oh.
I'm sorry. Castor, one second.
You have to wait a second.
I'm in the middle of a meeting.
[Ramirez] I'm sorry to bother you.
This really can't wait.
I don't believe you.
[Prisoner] They're watching the one man that I call my father.
You got me. Take me, huh?
Take me!
- Castor, what is it? - [Ramirez] I'm in trouble.
- [Voice] What does that mean? - Okay, have a seat.
I got myself into something I can't back out of.
You know you can trust me, Miho.
I'm here.
[Castor] I'm being investigated for murder.
The blood's on your hands, it says.
[Ramirez] You're in a lot of trouble, Lozano.
He left an infant in the street and she burned in the sun!
You're a piece of shit!
[both arguing]
Enough! Enough!
They say wake up again.
[Ramirez] You wanna know what happened?
You wanna know what happened?
I'll tell you what happened.
[metal clanging]
[Alek] What does it say?
[Briar] Vanessa Torres.
[Lozano] That's-- That's a detective.
Vanessa Torres,
the agent's blood is on your hands.
We got a cop killer in here?
- Yeah. - We got a cop killer. Huh?
She's been investigating me, man.
I know that name.
- So you killed her? - I know her face.
No, no, no. I didn't kill nobody.
[Ramirez] Fuck it. It's out in the open!
I import and I export stolen cars.
Now because of what happened with the child,
she made it her personal vendetta to make sure
that we went down because we went
from car thieves to killers
and I needed to find something to incriminate--
[Pierce] So you broke into her house and you killed her?
[Ramirez] I broke into her house and I went in there to find--
[Pierce] So you killed the neighbor?
[Ramirez] To find something to incriminate her.
She was there.
She fired her weapon.
She got me in the leg.
I bludgeoned her. I pistol whipped her.
And the gun went off.
I didn't mean to kill her.
[Alek] Probably could have guessed that.
- No, this is a-- - Probably could have guessed?
This is a trap, guys.
Every time they roll some bullshit in here,
we start fighting each other.
[Ramirez] I did it to protect you, Lozano!
You're family, believe it or not!
[Lozano] Nah, nah, nah, nah.
You did it to protect your business!
You get paid and I get shit.
Last I knew, the government runs the streets.
You're just a pawn in it.
Why? 'Cause I'm your government?
- This ain't chess. - This is chess!
Don't you see the game we're living in?
[Khalid] So you killed an innocent to protect those
closer to you?
[Briar] We all have our sin!
- [voices echoing] - [dramatic music]
[Darren] I think I know the answer here.
You just said we all have our sins, right?
Well, follow my lead.
[Lozano] I stole the car.
There was a baby in the back.
I left her there because I didn't know what to do.
- Cops were on my tail. - Wow.
[Lozano] The girl in this letter, she died 'cause of me.
Son, I can spot a false confession a mile away.
The words may be there, but the spirit is not.
[laughs] Yeah, good one.
[Messenger] Your lies will haunt you.
[computer voice] Attention, Kevin Lozano,
your son Hector is dead.
No, no, no, no.
[Pierce] Keep it together, bro.
[Alek] Lozano, you don't know he's dead.
[Briar] It's a game.
They're playing with us.
Maybe that is it.
If my son is dead, show him on that screen.
Lemme see the proof!
He's still alive!
Put him on the fucking screen!
They got us here.
They lock us up, man.
And they think all of a sudden they could play
with our minds, our heart.
You think you could play with my flesh?
You ain't shit!
You stand there, you look bad!
You got your mask on!
Show your face!
[Mysterious Voice] To truly earn your freedom--
Show it!
[computer voice] You must go further.
[Lozano] You guys are nothing!
I swear to God!
[Lozano shouting]
Try me!
[Lozano shouting]
- I'm so sorry. - Freaking hand off, dude.
You know it's your fault, man.
You killed a cop.
- [Briar] It's not his fault. - And they take your family.
[Ramirez] Man, I'm just trying to help you, stop fighting--
[Father Paul] Castor, my boy.
I'm glad you're still alive.
If they ask you to sacrifice me, please trust me.
Save yourself.
I know what they've done to you
and I know what they're going to do.
This organization is a power far greater than you realize.
- [Priest] No. - [Ramirez] He's a good man.
You let him go!
[Father Paul] They have chosen all of you for a reason.
[Ramirez Voice] I didn't do it to kill children!
- [Paul] That's why I'm here. - [Ramirez] I'm sorry!
[Father Paul] If they are testing you,
your strength will come from your faith.
[Alek] How do you know that?
Man, if we're gonna get outta here,
we gotta work together.
- [Paul] I never lied to you. - [Alek] How do you know?
Do you think I think you're on our side?
[Father Paul] You know what to do.
I pray I see you still.
[clock ticking]
When they first brought me here they did say,
"To truly earn your freedom you must go further."
- So how do we go further? - [Alek] Maybe there's
another way?
[Briar] I know I was beaten
with vacuum cleaner cords and mop handles.
And I was never kissed or hugged as a child.
And I don't, wait.
[Lozano] I heard enough from this guy.
- I think-- - [Lozano] I've heard enough man.
The reason, at least partially
why I might have had the will to stop it, but I didn't.
I wanted my own childhood.
I know that's impossible.
You know, when they first brought me here,
they showed me evidence of my sins.
People from my past taking revenge.
And that's simple.
This has to be a sort of atonement,
a way to free ourselves.
But I-- I can't control these thoughts.
[Alek] Do you have any idea what it does to a kid
for your few moments of gratification?
Do you have any idea the pain you caused?
Some.
[Alek] You have no remorse.
- The church-- - Goddamn it.
Would relocate me.
So I was always absolved of the culpability of that.
[Khaled] By him continuing to move,
he was able to continue to get away with the choice.
[Briar] I understand.
That's why I'm revealing what happened.
[Alek] Is this the answer?
Is this-- Is that what we're looking for?
You stayed on the pattern.
You see, do you guys see this?
Yes.
That was the answer.
You didn't break the pattern.
You didn't break the cycle.
And I think we're all doing the same thing.
He's right.
I know you don't believe what he's saying,
but trust me, I know this.
[Ramirez] This is what you want?
Come on!
- Is this what you asked for? - [Darren] He's a child rapist.
He's a sick man.
[Khaled] I don't think he's one of us.
[Lozano] He should be dealt with.
You should be in pri-- You should be dead.
Guys, our lives are on the line here.
We gotta pull this together.
- [Lozano] Kill him, and save us. - [Darren] Enough!
How is that gonna fix this?
We don't even know that
that clock is the death sentence we made it out to be.
[Alek] We woke up with a different word.
This word means something different to each of us.
Each of us have a pattern,
have a pattern.
We can break this pattern.
[Briar] We are all sinners.
Killed by the body, killed by the spirit.
What's the difference?
We all need redemption.
I didn't do my shit on purpose.
[Messenger] Silence.
[Ramirez laughs] They're laughing at us.
- I'm not here to judge you. - Okay?
- I didn't do anything. - I'm not here to judge you.
I'm just trying to figure this out.
[Briar] I'm sorry for the pain you went through.
Don't you dare.
There's a time for that.
- Okay? - [Briar] I'm sorry for that.
[Mysterious Voice] 40 minutes remaining.
[Lozano] If you weren't as old as you were, man,
I'd knock your fucking head right off your neck.
[Pierce] Does anyone--
[Ramirez] I'm trying to work with you so we can get--
Everything you know has to be challenged.
Let's start with that.
- [Alek] So let's flip it. - Everything.
[Alek] Oh, what? Why?
Why are you guilty? Why?
What is that? Why do you think that said guilty?
Let's get it all out.
Let's, let's level the playing field.
Alright, alright. Look, look.
- What are you guilty of? - [Ramirez] When we first
got here,
I was in some sort of trance.
There was this woman,
she said something that stuck with me.
[Woman] There is a war coming unlike you'd ever imagine,
and on a battlefield unlike ever before.
Your mind. [echoes]
[Darren] I don't think it's one of us.
If the war is in our mind, that has to mean something.
Look at what we're doing here.
Look at what we're doing to each other.
- [Ramirez] That's the game. - [TV Voice] How do you feel
about it?
- [Ramirez] It's a sick game. - I'm not talking--
- No, no, no. - What's that?
- [Darren] That's not about me. - Leave me alone.
[Darren] I don't know what that is.
That's gotta be about someone else.
Hold on.
[Reporter Isaiah] Two days, a mother,
Randall was shot and killed by officer--
[static buzzes]
- [Voice] Stop. - [Darren] The clock is ticking.
- What? - [Darren] How do you know him?
I don't know who you think you know, but you don't!
Hey, I didn't do anything!
[Officer] Do you know why I pulled you over today?
[Driver] No, sir.
[Officer] Missing your rear license plate back there.
[Driver] Must have fell off.
[Pierce] You're not gonna get away with this!
[Woman] Sir, he's done nothing wrong.
- [Pierce] Do you know who I am? - [Officer] Ma'am, stay quiet.
- [Woman] I'm recording everything sir!
- [Pierce] You can't touch me! - [Officer] Stay quiet.
[Driver] You ain't gonna talk to her like that.
License and registration, sir.
[Driver] I need to warn you I have a licensed
and legal gun in the car.
[Officer] Okay, where's the weapon?
Let me see your hands.
Let me see your hands!
I didn't do anything!
- [Woman] He's done nothing. - [Driver] We haven't done--
[Woman] He's done nothing wrong!
[Officer] Do it now! Do it now!
[gunshot blasts]
I didn't do anything!
You're not gonna get away with this!
[ominous music]
- [Briar] You're that policeman. - [Pierce] Shut
your fucking mouth!
- [Alek] Wanna get outta here? - [Pierce] Stop!
[Alek] We gotta figure out what the goddamn parasite is.
- [Ramirez] You got off! - [Alek] Would you shut
fuck up?
Fucking kid was in the backseat!
He went for his gun!
He went for his registration.
- You fucking pig! - Look, look, look.
[Briar] They've got something on all of us.
Shut the fuck up for a second and listen.
- [Pierce] I didn't do anything. - [Alek] Hold on. Just listen.
You want your kid to live?
Admit it. You're afraid of Black people.
I'm not afraid of Black people.
I grew up in the same neighborhood! Okay?
I just made different choices than some of us.
[Darren] Okay. Listen, listen, listen.
[Lozano] I know what the answer is.
I know!
There's six criminals in here and one cop!
That's the fucking parasite right there!
- [captives shouting] - [ominous music]
- [Ramierz] I don't give a fuck. - [Darren] Dude, listen, man!
We are all gonna die if you guys stop pissing around!
[captives arguing]
Shut up!
[voices echoing]
[haunting choral music]
[electricity zaps]
[haunting choral music]
[Messenger] Did you leave Angelica Warren
on the ground in an alleyway on August 10th?
Maybe.
[Messenger] And did that choice result in her death?
[Lozano] Goddamn, huh?
That's how you guys do it over here, huh?
What's this? A gift?
Answer the question, Mr. Lozano.
I'll tell you what,
you work with me first, alright?
Give daddy a kiss.
- [electrical whooshing] - [dramatic music]
What the hell is this, huh?
What the fuck is going on here?
Did that choice result in her death?
[Lozano laughing]
[Carmen] He has no soul.
That's my daughter!
[dramatic music]
He has no soul.
That's my daughter!
[Ramirez] Yeah, I sold him the shit, man.
What's that gotta do with this?
What is this?
[footsteps tapping]
[ominous music]
- [Pierce] Do it now! - [Driver] No!
[gunshot blasts]
I told him to show me his hands!
[screeching]
[gunshot blasts]
Oh.
[voices echoing]
Back away, okay?
Oh my God. No, no, no.
- What the, what the hell? - [trigger pulls]
Oh! What?
Oh. No, no, no.
[Pierce panting]
No. No. No!
- Ugh! - [gun clicks]
Oh God, fuck!
Oh! What the the-- What the hell?
Who are you?
[Woman] Why are you here?
Why are you here?
[Pierce] I thought he would show me his hands!
[indistinct shouting]
Why are you here?
[ominous music]
- [Woman] Officer! - [Pierce] I didn't do anything.
Leave me alone!
[Reporter] Randall.
I didn't do anything!
[Reporter] Was shot and killed by Officer--
- You know what? No joke. - Just stay calm.
Let's get home safe.
I need to warn you I have a licensed legal gun in the car.
Good afternoon, officer.
- [Officer] Show me your hands! - [Driver] What the fuck?
Why are you pointing a gun at us?
[all shouting]
I didn't do anything!
[gunshots blasting]
Put the phone away!
Put your hands on the dash!
[solemn music]
[Pierce breathing heavily]
[Pierce] God, forgive me.
Why are you here?
[mysterious music]
[display beeping]
- [Computer] Kill the parasite. - [Man] Must answer the question.
[Messenger] Have you finally seen the truth?
[voices echoing]
[suspenseful music]
[voices whispering]
Your skill will bring great value to the cause, Mohammed.
[Khaled] I don't want any of this.
[Cleric] Thousands of our brothers
have been killed, Mohammed.
They've humiliated you.
They've betrayed you.
[Messenger] You must go further
to earn your freedom, Mohammed.
I want the bastards!
It is time for you to step into your destiny
where even death may be an option.
We must all play our part.
[Prisoner on TV] Fuck you!
[Cleric] Usher in a new era where Islam is respected
and without question.
[gunshot blasts]
[Messenger] Have you ever though you could kill someone?
[Khaled shouting]
- [Woman] It is your destiny . - [voices whispering]
[Messenger] Have you ever thought you could kill someone?
[Alek] I feel like I could kill someone.
[child screaming]
[voices whispering]
Enough!
[Messenger] Have you ever thought you could kill someone?
- Yes. - [Woman] Kill them all.
There hasn't been a day that's gone by
since she was dead.
[static buzzing]
- [Prisoner on TV] Don't listen. - [Messenger] Have you?
Yeah.
[Whispering Voice] They're lying to you.
They're testing you.
Do whatever it takes.
[Messenger] Will you do whatever it takes?
[Lozano] There's only one person to blame
for me being here, man.
So yeah, I'm ready.
[Distorted Voice] Will you?
[dramatic music]
Answer the question, Mr. Ramirez.
Yeah.
[suspenseful music]
[Messenger] Remember your rage.
Remember your hatred, Mohammed.
- No. - You know what to do.
[Khaled shouting]
Tell me who are you!
What the hell is this?
You motherfucker!
- [kick impacts] - [Khaled shouting]
[dramatic music]
[Khaled grunting]
[Khaled groaning]
Oh, fuck!
[Messenger] You know what to do.
[whacks]
[Khaled shouting]
[punches thudding]
[dramatic music]
[fists thudding]
[Messenger] Remember your rage.
Remember your hatred, Mohammed.
[dramatic music]
[Khaled shouting]
- [electrical charging] - [electricity zapping]
I just want my life to mean something.
[Messenger] Maybe you've finally seen the truth.
We'll see.
[mask rips off]
[computer voice] 35 minutes remaining.
[Prisoner] Wake up, you fucker.
Wake up!
- Wake up. - What just happened here?
[Ramirez] Where the hell are we?
[Lozano] They fucking knew everything I was thinking.
[Cleric] Thousands of our brothers
have been killed, Mohammed.
They've humiliated you.
They've betrayed you.
How are you okay with this?
It is time for you to step into your destiny.
[Alek] You don't-- You know this guy?
[Cleric] But even death may be an option.
[Alek] Do you know that voice?
[Cleric] We must all play our part
ushering in a new era of man.
Why are you afraid, bro?
[Cleric] Where Islam is respected without questioning--
- Don't come any closer. - [Cleric] Allahu Akbar.
- [Alek] Do you know that voice? - Allahu Akbar?
That means God is great.
[Albright] Killing innocent people.
[Khaled] What do you know about killing innocent?
Release me!
You tell these sand niggers infesting my country,
I'm gonna put the fear of God in them
the way they put fear into innocent people
every goddamn day.
- Right here. - [Khaled] No!
How great is this fucking bitch?
They came after me.
[Woman] You're not allowed to come back here again! [shouting]
We're not here for you. We're here for him.
- Get the fuck out! - [Man] And my wife!
Leave!
- [Khaled] Turn it off! - Get off!
- [Khaled] Turn it off! - [man shouting]
- [woman] No! - [gunshot blasts]
[Khaled screaming]
Somayeh!
- [Attacker] Get off me! - [Khaled] No!
- [Attacker] Fuck you! - [Friend] Go now!
[Attacker] Fuck you for making me do this!
[solemn music]
- [Khaled] I could have stopped them.
[Ramirez] You know that voice?
- [Darren] No, don't get too close!
[Briar] Do it. [Pierce] Do it!
- Tell me you know that voice! - Stay away from me!
[Alek] Hey, hey, hey.
Back up. Back up. Back up.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa. - [Darren] Calm down.
[Khaled] I was pushed down by the Western society
since the day I was born.
I was looked at like I was some kind of a monster.
[static crackles]
After they killed her, they just kept taunting me.
I knew it would never end
unless I made them pay,
all of them.
My only way out was--
I told you they were testing me.
[Cleric] You must go further
to earn your freedom, Mohammed.
No.
[solemn music]
[Ramirez] Oh, I get it.
You want to be the poster boy.
You want to matter.
- What are you; a terrorist? - [Alek] Don't touch him.
[Pierce] He needs to be the one to die.
[Ramirez laughing]
- [Lozano] Yeah, exactly. - [Pierce] Are you a terrorist?
- [Alek] Guys. - [Khaled] I'm not a terrorist.
[captives arguing]
[Ramirez] Fuck you!
[Khaled] Where was your righteousness
when my people were slaughtered in Syria?
And you wonder why I wear the vest?
Why I seek vengeance?
[Pierce] Make him the martyr.
[Alek] You wanted that shit anyways, man.
Do you know who that voice is?
- Do you want me to fight? - [Computer voice] Wake up.
[Alek] Every time we fight, we're told to wake up.
So what is the pattern?
The pattern is something else.
[Ramirez] Okay.
The pattern is choice.
- Look. - Like he said.
- [Darren] Look, look, look. - The pattern is choice.
[computer voice] You must choose or die.
[Alek] What if the parasite is not one of us?
What if none of this, even these motherfuckers in the mask,
none of this is what we think it is?
He said we have to change the way we think.
Right? That's the goddamn game.
And that's the answer they're looking for.
That's our ticket outta here.
[Pierce] He's right. Listen to this shit, man.
[Alek] What if the parasite isn't one of us?
- [Pierce] That's a start. - [Alek] Alright, man.
You don't wanna listen to me,
then we're all gonna die, alright?
[Pierce] Maybe that's a start. What about you?
[Alek] It has to be something more going on.
[Lozano] This guy has some kind of ulterior motive.
Look, I don't want any of this.
[Lozano] I'll tell you guys what I do know, man.
Conversation's not gonna get us out of here.
Man, there's no fucking way
we're all getting outta here alive, man.
My point is, if you look at us in this room,
what are we doing?
One answer, one person.
Not you. Tell me one person.
What are we all doing?
- Arguing. - Okay, what does the rest
of the world do all the time?
Man, as a race, what do we do?
Do you not see how it relates? Fear.
[Ramirez] And why did you kill that man?
You were afraid.
[Darren] Why us?
[Ramirez] The decision that you made, you made out of fear.
[Darren] The pattern is rooted in fear.
But we thought we knew who he was.
Everybody expressed their fear towards him.
Then the same thing with him.
Now you two with each other.
So if the parasite is not one of us.
He just wanted us to think it was.
We just assumed that it was.
[dramatic music]
[Messenger] You must kill the parasite.
[Alek] What if none of this is what we think it is?
What if we're not really trapped in here?
We're trapped in here
the same way we're trapped by our minds.
[computer voice] To truly earn your freedom.
[Messenger] You must go further.
Cartwright said the woman told him about the war coming.
The war of the mind. Right?
What if the parasite is actually the mind?
[Darren] Exactly.
So those words from the desert,
what do they mean to each soul?
- [Alek] Parasite means mind. - What does that mean?
The patterns of thoughts.
It's gotta be the cycle we gotta break.
That's the goddamn game. That's it.
It keeps going back to the same thing, right?
Best idea. What else is it?
Just stay with me.
We are changing
'cause we're actually listening to each other.
Is anyone with me?
- I'm with you. - I'm with you. He's right.
- [Pierce] I'm with you. - [Ramirez] They're playing us.
- Okay. - Okay.
[Pierce] But they have people that we care about, okay?
They have, they can get to my son.
[Ramirez] Well, what would you say to that?
[Pierce] So we need to figure this out. We don't have time.
We have to figure out the answer, okay?
Hey, thank you.
What are you? What are you gonna do?
[Messenger] You must choose or die.
[Darren] We're going in circles, man. Circles!
You don't want to listen to me.
Then we're all gonna die!
Son, you're gonna lead us to the grave, man.
[Prisoner] I think he's onto to something.
- Yeah? - Come on, guys.
- He's a freak, man. - We are going to die in here.
- Let's get rid of him. - If we keep doing this.
- This is fucking ridiculous! - [all arguing]
[weapon hums]
[Messenger] Silence.
[electricity zaps]
[captives screaming]
[electricity hums]
[dramatic music]
[captives groaning]
- [Alek] Ah! - [Pierce] Oh, okay.
You guys are gonna have to stop doing that.
- [Brian] You know? - [Prisoner] Oh.
[Alek] I'm getting awful sick of you!
Shocking me when I'm not doing anything.
[Ramirez] This is getting real fucking fun, fellas!
We're rats in a cage.
[Alek] Guys, don't you see what's happening here?
Not a damn thing.
[Alek] You guys just want to jump on the bad.
What about the good?
You've got a kid you love.
Isn't that good?
You got a fiancee you care about
that you wanna get outta here for.
There's something you believe in enough
that you're willing to die for it.
He put his life on the line for you, man.
Don't you guys see that?
We're just feeding the hate.
We're not changing anything.
You said it's a game, right?
They're watching how we play it.
Maybe that's it.
How many men would've come here and tore each other apart?
Flip that!
They wanna see us break that pattern.
[Darren] I think he's onto something.
But why?
They're trying to change the game here.
He said that this organization is bigger than us.
So if we accept that,
then maybe we are on the path to righteousness.
Maybe this is what we're supposed to do.
[Darren] It's because there are a million of us.
We just represent what's up there.
If we can make a change, so can they.
[Alek] Maybe that's it.
They said they were testing to see if we deserve to live.
[Darren] Not who deserves to die but why do we deserve to live?
[Alek] And what they want is a confession.
[Darren] They're testing us to see what we do!
They didn't actually tell us to kill each other.
We brought that up.
- [Darren] They just set us free. - [Alek] Think about it.
Every time we try to kill each other, we get shocked.
They're trying to stop us.
They're trying to show us.
[Ramirez] If you're wrong, we're doing it my way.
We're going back to a vote.
- One of us dies-- - You can't think like that.
- [Ramirez] To save us all. - [Darren] We need to be all-in.
- [Ramirez] Why us? - [Alek] Wake up.
That means we're changing the game right now, boys.
We're changing it.
Maybe it's not that there's one answer.
Maybe it's that this is the answer.
He gave us the answer in the beginning.
[Darren] He gave us the answer in the beginning.
[Alek] We're just fighting each other.
[Lozano] You know, for once, I gotta agree with the white boy.
- [Ramirez] Yeah. - [Alek] We got a choice, right?
We're done hating each other.
That's the answer.
[suspenseful music]
[Messenger] Impressive.
[captives laughing]
Did y'all see that?
- [Messenger] Impressive. - Huh? Can I get some love?
- [Darren] Oh my God, that's it. - What's up?
- I'm happy to be here now. - [Prisoner] Oh yeah!
Happy!
Did y'all see that?
[Messenger] Yet futile.
Huh?
[Messenger] You have not earned your freedom.
[Darren] That had to be the right answer.
[Messenger] You will not survive this night.
Show me what are you willing to give up to be free?
[Darren] What is this?
[Messenger] You have been warned.
[Briar] Our father who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
- [Darren] He's a dead man. - [Briar] Thy kingdom come.
- [Darren] This doesn't make any sense.
[Briar] On earth.
[Ramirez] Which one of us is the worst of us all?
Show me the one answer or we will not survive this night.
[Darren] So you think all of us are dead
if we don't pick one of us to die?
Precisely, we have to.
- [Briar] Dear heavenly Father, I ask-- Whatever. God.
[Ramirez] You know what?
- You know what? I'll take him. - Let it matter--
[Alek] We can't just--
- [captives chattering] - [Ramirez] I'm gonna go out--
Guys, we can't just talk about it.
We gotta live it.
We gotta show it.
[Darren] How are we gonna show it from inside here, huh?
What if this is our second chance?
We gotta show it.
I don't know if I'm right or wrong,
but I'd rather not die with hate in my heart.
[solemn music]
Don't you see how the game's changing now?
Don't you see?
There's no more spheres coming in here
throwing shit at us because we're starting to defeat that.
We're not at each other's throats anymore.
We're listening. We're changing our thoughts.
Thank you.
I'll try to be worthy of that.
What are we willing to give up to be free?
So fuck it.
I was gonna kill you.
And you would've been justified.
[Alek] I know my past.
I know what haunts me.
[Reporter] Reporting the brutal murder of Father Spencer.
[Alek] I'm asking myself, why you?
Second chance to take out all this rage
on the life I lost and be justified?
I can't help but think that's what they want me to feel.
That's not the end of the story.
That's probably why I'm here.
I got the gun and I found him.
I found the man that abused me.
[Priest] If anything, think about this.
[Alek] You don't think I had?
I loved you.
[Child] Father?
[solemn music]
Father?
Damn you.
[gunshot blasts]
But I couldn't do it.
So now I was gonna go home and I was gonna kill myself
because he took everything from me and I trusted him.
He destroyed my entire life,
my health and my faith.
If not for this, whatever this is,
I'd be dead.
I was such a happy kid and he took that all from me.
But killing you won't give me my life back
and I forgive you.
Not for you, but for me.
[Briar] I beg God sometimes to remove all of this from me.
I want so much to bring peace
and instead I leave destruction.
You know what I-- I'm capable of?
[Alek] We're all capable of something, okay?
You just stop hurting kids
and I'll stop hurting myself!
Guys, I don't want to die feeling like this.
Do you?
I'm so goddamn tired of being angry all the time.
I've been angry my whole fucking life.
[solemn music]
[Khaled] And she said, "Don't play with this boy.
"He is not like us."
[computer voice] 10 minutes remaining.
[Khaled] Since that day,
I've been hating myself for being different.
Growing up I was made fun of because I looked different
because my, my name was different.
I was pulled over by the police, yelled at, beaten!
Even though I didn't do anything wrong,
but I was a monster in society.
I wanted to get revenge.
[Khaled screaming]
I found these people that told me salvation is close.
I thought it was the truth.
I believed them.
I'd lost faith in the people,
in the good that I once knew.
- [Attacker] Fuck you! - [Khaled] I learned how to fight
so I could protect the ones that I love.
Not for this. Not for them to use me as a pawn.
I didn't want any of this,
this hatred, none of this!
Can I tell you something?
You'd be surprised at how many people
sympathize with where you're coming from
and let me explain something to you.
On 9/11, I was in Manhattan, okay?
And I'm one of those people who would sympathize
with where you're coming from in your story.
But when 3000 innocent people were killed
in the name of whatever spiritual nonsense,
you lose me, the sympathizer.
You lose me when you do that shit!
Do you hear what I'm saying to you?
That is not love.
[Alek] What do you have to say, professor?
I had,
so this mentor of mine a few weeks back,
he kept calling me and I knew something was up,
but I was so busy I, I didn't take it seriously
and he could tell I was blowing him off.
He figured that I didn't care.
So one after another, his spirit failed him.
Society failed him.
Then I failed him.
And by the end of the week, he fucking hung himself.
He left a wife and two children and that's on me.
The guilt is the reason I'm here.
I could have tried harder to,
to change his mind.
I didn't have to--
[Alek] So when we get outta here,
it's about breaking the pattern, right?
Maybe that's what it is.
We gotta bring this out there
to break the cycle for other people.
Thank you for that.
Alright, maybe I wasn't as good of a police officer
as I could have been,
but I was never supposed to be the bad guy, alright?
When, when I decided to become a police officer,
it was when I saw my father beating my mother
and I could not do anything about it.
I was powerless, helpless.
And so I didn't want to be that anymore.
I wanted to help people, okay?
I wanted to protect people.
So I took the oath.
Maybe after hearing these other officers
make comments about "these" people,
all these people day in and day out,
killing each other, murdering each other.
I let that sink in.
So yeah, when I shot that man,
when I took his life, I was afraid.
I was afraid because I didn't even see a human being
until I looked into his eyes after I shot him.
Before then, I just saw what I feared.
I failed the oath I took
pretending I hadn't become a racist.
And at the end of the day,
a man paid for that with his life.
I was never supposed to be the bad guy.
But yeah, that's exactly what I became.
[Alek] Ramirez, who was that?
You know that voice.
[Ramirez] Father, I wanted to ask you--
That was Father Paul.
He's the only man that was ever a father to me
when I needed one.
He's the only man that I trust.
The only man that taught me how to be a man.
And when I heard the pain in his voice,
I knew he was in trouble.
And he's a good man.
He's a man that I look up to.
If I could have half the principles that he had,
I would be okay.
And he's a man that always watched
everything I did on the periphery, but never judged me.
He's exactly what they're trying to make me here.
He would always look at me as a human being first.
Do you regret killing Agent Vanessa Torres?
[Ramierz] And knowing that his life could be in danger
because of what I did, because of the life that I chose.
Yeah.
All I do is destroy people and if I don't stop,
I'll never stop destroying myself.
And I give up.
[Briar] I will hear your confession.
[Alek] Hey, Lozano.
- Are you talking to me? - [Alek] Lozano.
- [Lozano laughs] Come on, man. - [Alek] Hey.
What if your son is dead?
- [Lozano] Huh? - What if he is, man?
Do you think any of that could be on you?
Hey, look man, I'm--
[Ramirez] We're running out of time, brother!
I'll tell you what, let's all just sit here and die then.
- Yeah. All of us. - [Alek] Is that your answer?
Let's all sit here and die
because you don't want to be a man.
- You guys are weak. - That's what a real man is.
- When it comes down to it. - [Ramirez] See?
I don't want my son to die
and I know you don't want your son to die.
You just have to confess.
[computer voice] You have one minute remaining.
Alright, I've been working under this guy for what, 14 years?
He sits in the house,
but I'm still in a one bedroom apartment, man.
A shack, a wife who hates me,
a son who might be dead.
Maybe this was the turning point,
man, I'm willing to change.
I was never good enough to get a job.
I put on the suit and tie. Nothing works.
I'll tell you what my confession is.
I don't believe in myself,
so I gotta resort to the street life.
[computer voice] 30 seconds remaining.
But now, I'm believing.
I believe there's a change coming.
So my confession, is I believe in myself,
I believe in my heart.
You'll see.
They said we were chosen here.
We were chosen to be here, boys, to be a catalyst.
So I'll tell you what,
if they end up killing us anyway,
at least we're not gonna die angry men.
[computer voice] Ten, nine,
eight, seven, six,
five, four, three,
two, one.
We're ready to break the cycle.
[Messenger] It's time.
They know what we know.
[dramatic music]
Gentlemen.
You were afraid to choose.
Send them to phase three.
[electricity buzzes]
[captors groaning]
[Alek] You ever feel like you could kill someone?
What if the were a way, would you do whatever it takes?
You were afraid to choose.
[gunshot blasts]
[whispering]
[Priest] Think about, Alek. I loved you.
- [voices whispering] - [dramatic music]
[Cleric] It is time for you to step into your destiny
where even death may be an option.
We must all play our part
ushering in a new era
of war.
[voices echoing]
[dramatic music]
[Woman] Leave me alone!
[Captor] Wake up. Wake up!
[ominous music]
[computer voice] Alek O'Connor, you have been chosen.
[suspenseful music]
[dramatic music]
[Alek breathing heavily]
[electricity zaps]
[mysterious music]
[echoing whispers]
[mysterious music continues]
[voices echoing]
[Father Albright] Became a child
and now you have put away childish things.
[child screams]
[suspenseful music]
[Prisoner] Where the fuck am I?
You fucking sand nigger.
I will fucking-- Shithole. Get off me.
What the fuck are you doing, man?
I'll kill you too.
Man, no, don't do it.
[Khaled screaming]
I just wanted to scare you!
What the fuck are you doing, man?
Don't do it.
Don't you do it!
Goddamn it, man.
[mysterious music]
- [Priest] Mea culpa, mea culpa. - Shut up!
Mea maxima culpa! [sobs]
[suspenseful music]
- [Ramirez] I'm in trouble. - [Priest] Okay, have a seat.
[Ramirez] I got myself into something I can't back out of.
[punch thuds]
[electricity hums]
No!
- [Ramirez] You did this? - [Man] You're worth it.
How dare you put me through this shit!
I trusted you.
I trusted you!
And you still can.
[light music]
[Pierce] Oh.
You?
[woman sobs]
[Briar] I bet you like to play games.
Will you play with me?
Huh?
No, I'm not gonna hurt you.
[exhales] Oh!
I'd love to find somebody to play with.
[suspenseful music]
[electricity hums]
[sparks crackle]
[Captive] You don't have to do this.
You don't have to do this.
No, no.
You killed my baby.
You killed-- you killed my son!
You took my baby away from me!
You took my baby! [sobbing]
- [electrical piercing] - Oh.
[sobbing]
[Pierce] I wish-- I wish I could bring him back.
No, no. [sobs]
You took my baby.
- I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. - [Woman] Oh, how could you?
- I'm so sorry. - [Woman] My baby.
How could you?
Oh, miho.
This isn't who you are.
- [mysterious music] - [electricity buzzing]
[Khaled sobbing]
[mysterious music]
[metal snapping]
[solemn music]
[electricity zapping]
[Father Briar screaming]
It's my fault.
It's my most grievous fault.
[solemn music]
[electricity zapping]
[metal clangs]
[Man] Miho.
I am here, my boy.
My boy.
Only you know what to do.
Si, papa.
[Ramirez speaks in Spanish]
[solemn piano music]
[Alek breathing heavily]
[rumbling]
[computer voice] The transports are here.
Kill the parasite.
[Ramirez] You don't want to do this.
[laughs] How funny when the tables are turned.
I failed you.
[voices echoing]
[suspenseful music]
[Lozano] You know the good thing about failure?
You learn from it.
[Messenger] You were right about him.
[Lozano] And you know not to make
the same mistake over and over again, right?
[Ramirez] You don't want to do this, bro.
[Lozano] You know they talked to me about forgiveness,
but I got a problem with it.
Don't do it. Don't do it.
Don't do it, dog.
We've been through way too much, man.
Just think about. No, no!
You don't want to do this. No! No!
- I run shit now. - No!
- [electrical whooshing] - [Lozano screaming]
Lozano!
What the fuck is going on?
[Lozano screaming]
[headset beeps]
[Woman] What are you willing to give up to be free?
I'm willing to let go.
I'm willing to surrender.
[Messenger] Wake up, wake up.
Wake up!
[mysterious music]
[headset clicks]
[dramatic music]
[Alek groaning]
What the fuck?
[mysterious music]
What the hell is this?
There's someone you need to meet.
Come with me.
You were never in the desert.
There's so much for you to learn.
[Alek] Where the hell are we going?
[Darren] To see some old friends.
You didn't answer me before.
What is this?
Rebirth.
This wasn't your first time.
Your fiancee?
Part of the grand illusion.
They're waiting for you.
[mysterious music]
[door creaks]
[Alek] It was you all along.
I was just the Messenger, Alek.
You're here to meet the true Architect of the Collective.
Join us.
[Architect] Welcome, Mr. O'Connor.
[dramatic music]
There is so much for you to learn
and then you must choose.
Choose what?
Your fate.
[dramatic music]
An old Cherokee wise man told his grandson
of a battle going on inside all of mankind.
The battle of two wolves.
One wolf was evil.
It was anger, sloth, pride.
The other wolf is good.
It's joy, peace, love.
The grandson pondered the old man's message
asking which wolf wins.
And the old man responds, "The one you feed."
But you abducted us, tortured us.
[Architect] We perpetuate this hell on earth.
We feed the lie.
Whatever needs healing is forced to the surface,
sometimes painfully so in order to be released,
remember, fate guides the willing.
But drags the unwilling.
Does that make it all justified?
The answers are all around you,
if you're willing to listen.
[Messenger] It'll continue to haunt you until you really
deal with it.
What if there were a way
to truly move on, to be free?
Would you do whatever it takes?
Yeah.
[Messenger] Even if it means it would cause you pain,
you'd do anything to be free of this?
Mm-hmm.
Don't you think I wish there was another way?
How have we, the people, got to the point
where our government, our humanity is crumbling before us
and we're too blind to see it?
Us versus them rules the world
and we dehumanize them in a heartbeat
without really contemplating the true cost, Alek.
The question isn't which wolf wins.
The question is, which wolf do you see in them?
Telling you is one thing,
believing is another matter entirely.
We can't be the first.
So how many people actually
changed their lives from all this?
[Architect] Alek, let me assure you,
I know my methods are unorthodox.
You mean illegal?
[Architect] When you woke up outside that room this morning,
there was something alive in you.
Something like never before.
Am I wrong?
What was it like to look a man in the eye
who represented everything you hate
and instead choose forgiveness?
You saw through the darkness, you saw the real truth.
The one answer could never just be talked about.
You had to feel it, experience it, live it.
Every tragedy brings hope
when humanity can rise from the darkness.
You will be a witness to that hope.
What you started in that room was just the beginning.
[mysterious music]
How much of that was real?
[Darren] It's better you don't know.
What your mind believes, reality shows.
[The Architect] As you regain your innocence,
you unconsciously light the path for others to do the same.
[Khaled] I will honor my wife's memory.
Thank you for stopping me from tarnishing it.
[Imam] We are ushering in a new era, Mohammed,
the era of peace, inshallah.
- [Khaled] Inshallah. - What do you choose?
I choose life.
Then you can follow in our footsteps
and bring more men into peace.
[The Architect] As you regain your integrity.
- [Pierce] Hi everyone. - [Architect] You rebuild
your self-worth.
[12-step member] And I'm an anger addict.
[group leader] Oh, welcome bro. Come on in.
[The Architect] The walls we build,
the personas we create.
all these things we think keep us safer.
Tear us apart.
- So, I'm Tommy. - Hi, Tommy.
I'm a rageaholic.
[The Architect] The actions of one affect us all.
What's your name, bro?
[The Architect] We are the reminder.
I'm Matt Pierce.
[Group] Hi, Matt.
Um, I'm tired of being angry and afraid, and I need help.
My life and my lives of others depend on it.
[The Architect] Every moment is a choice
when men realize their true power is in compassion,
the world will begin to heal.
[News Reporter] In a stunning turn of events,
former officer Matthew Pierce, just moments ago,
has pled guilty as prosecutors opted
to retry the former officer's case
after the original trial ended in a deadlock
due to a hung jury.
Pierce's decision comes as a shock to a community
that has long been fearful of those in uniform
who are sworn to protect and serve,
but whom in their eyes have continued
to protect each other in a sort of blue wall of silence.
[Ramirez] There was no turning back once I pulled that trigger,
what happened in that room was pretty clear.
As long as I keep running from what I did,
I'll continue to suffer.
I needed a reason to stay alive.
I'm gonna take the deal.
There's a lot of work left to do.
This fight has nothing to do with violence.
It is the antidote.
Remember Alek, this war is a war of the mind.
[Lozano shouting]
Where the hell am I?
- [Woman] My daughter. - [Lozano] Do you hear me?
He was just lying through his teeth.
[Darren] We've gotten exceedingly good
at spotting the sociopaths among us.
What's gonna happen to him?
He'll repent
or not.
Whatever he chooses is on him.
We just provide the container.
[The Architect] As you face what you've been running from
you choose freedom.
[Woman] Can I help you?
Kevin Lozano will never hurt you or Hector again.
[Woman] What?
It's gonna be okay.
[Darren] And those who continuously fail,
the choice is theirs.
[Messenger] Your request has been granted by the Architect.
[Medic] Sir, after the injection, your heart will stop.
Any final words?
Do it.
[dramatic music]
[Darren] Ask yourself,
are you willing to give up what you've become
to be who you truly are?
Why didn't you kill me?
[solemn music]
[Alek] That doesn't make the pain any less real.
So I'm gonna use it to protect others from people like you.
I promise you,
we are always watching.
[dramatic music]
[electricity zaps]
[Father Albright shouts]
[Architect] So there really is only one question.
Is that a world you are willing to fight for?
[mysterious music]
[child screaming]
[Messenger] Wake up.
This is the Messenger speaking.
Welcome to the Collective.
You have been chosen.
[dramatic music]
[Alek] Let's begin.
[intense music]
[intense music continues]
[mysterious music]
[mysterious music continues]
[dramatic music]
[dramatic music continues]
