The Harsh Reality of Survival
McCone
You think you're the only Runner ever got offered a deal? You think surviving two weeks and change makes you big shit? Try 29 days. What's more likely? A: I killed your family. B: Killian sold you just the right lie to get a bloodbath season finale. Or C: you're too fucking stupid to figure it out. Take it from someone who took the deal to be a hunter instead of the hunted. The only time you'll ever see your family again is when they torture them in front of you. Fuck with your head enough to make you wanna kill it all away.
Ben

Questioning the Morality of Entertainment Networks
Ben Richards
Nothing I've done on this show makes me a hero. I tried to be a hero once, and they blacklisted my ass. My daughter got sick. This is the only job I could get. It seems like the whole point of Freevee is to make us hate each other so they can keep stealing from us while we fight in the mud. You want the truth? Turn it off. We are all being fucked by the Network. Find out who really runs it. Record, report them. Get their names. You just met one of em. Dan Killian. You remember that face. Don’t watch Freevee. Watch who pays for it. Turn it off.
