A Life-and-Death Dilemma Unfolds

Tapes Dr. Gordon, this is your wake-up call. Every day of your working life you have given people the news that they're going to die soon. Now, you will be the cause of death. Your aim in this game is to kill Adam. You have until six on the clock to do it. There's a man in the room with you. When there's that much poison in your blood, the only thing left to do -- is shoot yourself. There are ways to win this hidden all around you. Just remember, X marks the spot for the treasure. If you do not kill Adam by six, then Alison and Diana will die, Dr. Gordon... and I'll leave you in this room to rot. Let the game begin. Follow your heart.

Confronting Fear and Choice in Life

Tape Rise and shine, Adam. You're probably wondering where you are. I'll tell you where you might be. You might be in the room you die in. Up until now you simply sat in the shadows watching others live out their lives. But what do voyeurs see when they look into the mirror? Now, I see you as a strange mix of someone angry, yet apathetic. But mostly just pathetic. So are you going to watch yourself die today, Adam, or do something about it?

Adam Stanheight I don't get it.

Dr. Lawrence Gordon Throw me the player.

Adam Stanheight No. You throw me your tape.

Dr. Lawrence Gordon Look, we're going to have to work together if we want to get out of here. Now just throw it to me!

Adam Stanheight I'm not gonna risk breaking it. You throw me your tape!

Tape Dr. Gordon, this is your wake-up call. Every day of your working life you have given people the news that they're going to die soon. Now, you will be the cause of death. Your aim in this game is to kill Adam. You have until six on the clock to do it. There's a man in the room with you. When there's that much poison in your blood, the only thing left to do -- is shoot yourself. There are ways to win this hidden all around you. Just remember, X marks the spot for the treasure. If you do not kill Adam by six, then Alison and Diana will die, Dr. Gordon... and I'll leave you in this room to rot. Let the game begin.

Dr. Lawrence Gordon Give me that. Now.

Tape ...then Alison and Diana will die, Dr. Gordon... and I'll leave you in this room to rot.

Adam Stanheight Any idea who that is?

Tape ...Let the game begin.

Adam Stanheight He knows us.

Dr. Lawrence Gordon Wait a minute.

[rewinds the tape again]

Adam Stanheight What do you think? Probably a joke, right?

Dr. Lawrence Gordon Shh, shh.

[presses play]

Tape ...Let the game begin.

Dr. Lawrence Gordon Listen.

[whispers]

Tape Follow your heart.

[whispers]

Adam Stanheight What the hell does follow your heart mean?

Dr. Lawrence Gordon There! Right next to you, on the toilet.

[points at the toilet]

Dr. Lawrence Gordon Come on.

Dr. Lawrence Gordon Anything?

Adam Stanheight No solids.

Dr. Lawrence Gordon Take off the lid. Come on.

Adam Stanheight I really wish I had checked in there first.

[takes off the toilet lid and pulls out a plastic bag]

Dr. Lawrence Gordon What is it?

[chuckles]

Dr. Lawrence Gordon Hey! Mind passing me the other one?

Adam Stanheight Fuck! Fuck!

[hacksaw breaks; smashes broken hacksaw at the pipe and throws it at a mirror]

Dr. Lawrence Gordon He doesn't want us to cut through our chains. He wants us to cut through our feet.

The Choice Between Life and Death

Tapes Hello, Paul. You are a perfectly healthy, sane and middle-class male. Yet last month you ran a straight razor across your wrist. Did you cut yourself because you truly wanted to die, or did you just want some attention? Tonight, you'll show me. The irony is that if you want to die you just have to stay where you are, but if you want to live, you'll have to cut yourself again. Find the path through the razor-wire to the door. But hurry. At three o'clock that door will lock, and then, this room becomes your tomb. How much blood will you shed to stay alive, Paul?

Testing Illness and Trust Under Pressure

Tapes Hello, Mark. If you are so sick, then why do I have so many photos of you up and about? Let's put your so-called "illness" to the test. Right now, there's a slow acting poison in your veins. The antidote is inside the safe; the combination to the safe is written on the wall. Hurry up and program it in, but watch your step. By the way, that's a flammable substance smeared on your body, so I would be careful with that candle if I were you... or all the people you've burned with your act just might have their revenge.
