Backlash (2025) Movie Script
1
Loud firecracker explosion.
No, JJ, I
need to get ready.
I'm just having a shower.
Yeah, but you take forever.
Not compared to you!
Marnie.
Let Jasmine go first.
It's J.J., not Jasmine.
It's J.J.
It's fine. Come on. Go first.
Thank you.
You are such a little shit.
At least I don't
stink! I don't stink!!!
Marnie, can you help your
sister with the hair?
It's not even.
Yes it is.
And you really need to be doing
much better with
your grades, Marnie
we didn't send
you to such a good
school for you to
fail like you are.
Hey no! I did it
myself. They're fine.
Debatable.
Are you doing a
sarcastic face, serious
face, or just your plain
ugly face, as usual?
And is the school okay
with your makeup like that?
I thought you'd grown out of it.
She's just such
a disappointment.
Come on J.J. I'm sorry. I
didn't mean to run us late.
You never do.
That's fine.
Hurry up. We have to
sign in at the office.
Will you let me know
where the doors are?
Is that the girl you
like? Is that her?
She seems nice. She is.
I think... I think.
What's she like? What's
she into? What does she do?
She plays this online game.
It's called Backlash.
The super hyper
realistic one that
doesn't use proper
infiltration tactics.
It's pretty frickin real for us.
We can't all be big, tough
army guys like you. Can we?
No, but you can dream.
Give me a hug!
Love you buddy, you look after
yourself, you're a good kid.
Just talk to her,
be yourself and
maybe they'll let
you join in the game.
Okay. Okay.
Aye, Aye, Captain,
Really? Yeah. Really?
You didn't think
it through did you?
You're late!
Quick.
I'm coming.
Is it 23 or 24?
I think 23.
Stairs.
Come on.
What do you want
me to do Marnie?
I know that you can go faster.
Look who's coming...
She just
does it for attention.
Bet
she's not even blind.
She looks like a pet
following her sister
around. Like a dog.
You should do that thing.
Don't be a killjoy.
Sam gave it to me.
Another door?
Ha, ha. Very funny.
Seriously, if you
ever need to talk.
There's nothing to talk about.
How ya doing?
You ok?
Nice.
It's just a white
cardigan, nothing special.
Looking for room 23 yeah?
Yeah.
Just a few paces back
that way to your left.
I know...
Marnie, your shadow's back.
Lucky me.
Did you bring it?
Yeah, hold on.
Hope there's more for me later?
Wow, real subtle, guys.
Though I don't
think any of these
idiots would notice anyways.
You know, I'm happy to do a full
body search if you lose that.
You're disgusting.
And JJ
better keep her mouth shut
about our... business dealings.
She's not deaf.
Well, that's good at least.
It's not funny.
Sorry princess Jasmine.
It's J.J.
HEY! What the hell do
you think you're doing?
Trying to get her attention.
She might not know
she's standing
outside the wrong classroom.
Just helping her.
Mmmm. Yeah. That's real nice.
How about I help
you two fuck off?
Come on, get out of here.
Hey. You okay?
Don't worry about them,
they're just idiots.
Where the hell were you? Hey!
Nice of you to join
us. No Aly, it's okay.
I heard her footsteps,
she was coming.
Should get to the
right classroom.
What?
Marnie... I've
known you for years.
I've known both you
and JJ for years.
I swear I just don't
recognize you anymore.
I have a lot on my plate
at the moment, Aly,
Okay.
You can't expect me to take care
of her every second
of every day.
I've got my own life. Aly,
I'm failing my assessments,
my dad is always on my back
I'm just really
worried about you guys.
Well, she's my sister, so
it's fine. I'll talk to her.
OK.
How do you understand
all of that?
Life's simple in
code. Find fault,
fix fault. Code doesn't lie.
I'm going to talk to her. Okay.
Promise?
Promise.
Okay. Sorry.
So what's that for, anyway?
Just a little something I
have in mind for tonight.
Speaking of later, you guys in?
Definitely. Yeah.
I'll be there. So will Nash.
Nash... aww, it's
always about Nash.
Well, we know that if Nash
is there, Aly will be there.
Hey, I do still have a
brain of my own guys.
I don't think it's his
brain you're interested in.
Look, he's really
kind, and he listens.
Bit of an old soul. Pedophile.
Okay. Have you met him for real?
Look, I know that
he's older, but
that's quite refreshing amongst
a horde of animals.
Okay, well, 7 p.m..
It's Backlash Time.
Two teams, head to
head? Asylum level.
How about death match mode?
My brother's ex-army.
Um, he, he says it's
not very realistic,
but I still love
to be able to play
the game with you guys sometime.
Anytime really, you know, I'm
not that busy.
Play with us or...
play with Marnie?
Well, did you know that It
actually, it uses
real locations.
And I've even been to the real
life abandoned mental hospital
that the psych asylum
level was based on.
And it's super cool. You can
you can. Scan your face in.
And you can use
your as your avatar.
How cool is that? Right?
Right. That's pretty cool.
But let me tell you something.
If I had face like
yours, I probably
wouldn't want to
see it on a screen.
In fact,
I'd probably kill myself to save
everybody else
from looking at it.
Yeah, that's a really
valuable life lesson.
Guys... that's a bit harsh.
The guy knows I'm joking.
Don't you?
Yeah.
One game.
You can play one
game... with us.
F-Dan the Man inbound
people. Let's Go!
Yeah. You can play diplomat
mode. That's always fun.
And as long as I'm
not the diplomat.
Bugger.
Not again.
Guys, guys, guys.
I think I'm lagging, I'm lagging
guys! Can we. Can we restart?
Can we just stop.
Stop shooting at me.
Here I am, rescuing
the diplomat,
and you just shoot at me.
Come on, Manie, Come out.
Come out wherever you are.
I got the infinite bullets perk.
How am I out? Again?
I'm still lagging.
Can we just restart?
Stop playing with
them and get on with it.
Where would
the fun be in that?
Why do I even hang out with you?
My charm and personality.
Actually, it's
your tits, but anyhow.
How do I look?
Does it suit me?
Yeah. Well, everything
looks good on you Nash.
Thanks, babe. You too.
Let's go to clear out Sam
and his little sniper tower.
Marnie's run out
of bullets. Again.
Even with this
shitty internet lag,
I can still fucking
waste you Marnie.
Good job, Marnie.
Come on. We got him.
That'll be your
teammates, Marnie.
They hunt in a pack... of
two. And you should be dead.
Oops. Looks like someone
hacked the code, Weasel face.
Immortality Perk.
Nice babe. You got
to teach me how to do that.
I just let you guys win, right?
Yeah, well, you
didn't let me win,
Marnie. You guys try
playing with lag.
Come on, Aly,
just play fair.
Fine. You win.
I always do.
And now it's back to you.
Still lagging
Bec, Just stop.
The protectors have failed,
and the diplomat
was not rescued.
Wow. Thanks, guys. So
much fun playing with you.
Load up another, same map.
I'm so done
saving you, Aly.
You're saving me now.
I thought we
had something special.
In your dreams, blondie.
Yes you are, and I am.
Bleurgh. Yuck.
Online flirting.
Please kill me. Again.
But you make it so easy.
At least you're
better than Nash.
He plays like he's
some fucking old man
I joined the game,
but I need to refuel.
I've got low blood sugars.
But hanging with you guys
is a fucked kind of fun.
I'm going to slit Frankie's
fucking throat when I see him
Hungry?
Uh - Huh.
I wonder why that is.
What do you want JJ?
A fucked kind of fun?
Really?
Can you just turn
that super hearing
off for once and
give me some privacy?
I don't understand why you
hang out with those people?
Those people?
Yeah Marnie, those
people. Two years ago,
you had the nicest
friends, and now
it's just Aly and those a'holes.
Leave me alone, okay.
Things they are saying
Marnie. It's disgusting.
It's just a game, idiot.
Okay, and I'm allowed to hang
out with whoever I want to.
I'm not trying to say you
can't. No, except you are.
Marnie... I... Marnie...
I'm so sick of you constantly
leeching off my life.
Just get your own.
What...
What...
I can't even have a conversation
without you listening in.
It's not my fault.
No, of course it's
not your fault.
It's my fault, isn't it?
It's always Marnie's fault.
How long do I have to take
the blame for everything?
The blame for what?
Marnie, no one is
blaming you for anything.
I'm just worried. Okay.
About what?
I know you're
buying pot from Sam.
You know, I smell on your
breath almost every night.
The mints do nothing. You're
not hiding it at all okay.
It's only a matter of
time before Dad busts you.
And who knows what
he's going to do?
Listen very
carefully princess...
Don't call me that. No, I'm
so fucking done with you.
Okay?
I'm done looking
after you every day.
Having everything you
need every fucking day,
making sure that you
get to school every day.
Having everything
you could ever need.
I'm not your fucking guide dog.
Chill out, Aly. Jeez.
It's a game. It's not
real and it's fucking Frankie.
And the little shit
wanted to play with us.
I'm back. Guys.
Let's just kill
this son of a bitch.
I think that's enough.
Whatever. I'm
so uploading this.
They'll love it.
Yeah, I'm done for the night.
Fuck your stupid game
and fuck you all.
I don't want to be your
fucking boyfriend anyway.
You will bloody regret this.
JJ, please, can you hurry
up? We can't be late again.
Nice try, but making
my favorite food
doesn't take away anything
you said to me yesterday.
I'll stop leeching off you now.
JJ, please. Please.
I know I should have been there
yesterday, and I
know that I'm sorry.
Yes. You should be.
Jasmine,
how long are you going
to act like this for?
Until you stop being a bitch.
JJ!!
No Marnie!
No. You weren't there.
I was coming... No.
You weren't. Okay.
I know the sound your footsteps
but all I heard with
my super hearing
was everyone laughing at me.
Jasmine.
I haven't heard you
call Jasmine in a while.
It must be pretty serious.
Yeah, I really
messed up this time.
Don't really know if
she's going to forgive me.
Sorry... Anything I can do?
My shadow still isn't here.
Normally, I'm used
to him perking
up all expectant when I walk in.
Well, that video of
him getting killed
in the game did go
incredibly viral.
Millions of views already. I
wouldn't come to school either.
Hope he's okay? Yeah.
I won't miss his
eyes on me, though.
Every time yuck!
JJ, can we please talk?
I know you can hear me.
Sometimes I wish I couldn't.
Clearly a closed door
means walk right in.
I want to apologize.
Course you do. You can take your
apology and screw
yourself with it.
Jasmine -
No.
Marnie do not.
Do not call me that.
I hate that name. I hate it.
Jasmine is...
She had a life and
friends and color
and could do things
by herself and didn't
have a sister who
fucking hates her.
I'm not her anymore.
I don't hate you.
Marnie, just get out.
Oh JJ...
Get out Marnie!
That game gets more
and more screwed.
Marnie?
Marnie, you ok?
Marnie?
You okay?
Marnie?
Who's there?
Marnie...
Stop playing around.
Please... Please...
Please, just take
whatever you want.
Aly?
Wake up. Wake up.
Marnie...
Marnie -
What's happening?
What the hell is happening?
No. No. No.
Marnie No. What's happening.
No Marnie no.
The chains and collars, they're
connected by climbers
belaying clips.
They don't break. If they're not
locked, we can be
free of the collars.
If we just get our hands
out of these things.
Do you know how
to pick handcuffs?
Because I'd really like
to be free right now.
That key.
What?
That key right there.
That'd get us out.
Stop.
Guys - Stop, stop, stop.
Stop, stop, guys...
Okay, stop.
There's not enough
slack in the chains
for us all to get it. The
chains are all connected.
Someone has a really
fucking sick sense of humor.
It's like that
horror sequel where
if they work together,
they survive.
I don't think
whoever has done this
has done this just
for us to get stuck.
What the hell was that?
I don't. I don't
know. It's like.
It was like pins being
dug into my neck.
Move forward, move forward.
The shocks are less -
The collars - they
are shock collars.
Whatever's causing the
shocks is moving us forward.
Like the space we can stay
in is getting smaller.
That means -
We're really running
out of time here.
I can reach it.
I've got my hands
in front of me. You guys don't -
I think there's enough
slack in the middle.
But if you go for the key, we'll
get pulled back
into the shock zone.
But if I don't?
Please...
Fine.
Go.
Marnie!
Marnie - stop.
Marnie, please hurry.
I can't. There's
not enough slack.
Please just stop Give us
a break and try again.
It's only going to get worse!
Marnie stop, stop! Please!
Stand up! Stand up and
lean over the edge.
What?!
You fucking kidding me?
Please, Please hurry up.
Come on.
Please. Stop!
Come on.
Please stop!
I'm trying!
Get it off me,
please get it off.
If we figure out
what's controlling
these things, it's
probably an easy hack.
Is there anything on
the outside of the
collars, like some
kind of access point?
No, no, it's all solid metal.
I'm here too guys, I
could do with a hug.
Looks like you put
up a good fight?
Yeah. The splitting headache
says I should have gone quietly.
This is insane.
Did either of you
hear those gunshots?
Gunshots?
Seriously? Guns?
I don't know.
Maybe I'm hearing
things amongst all the
pain and screaming
and electrocution Aly!
What?
This place looks
really familiar.
Familiar or not, we just
need to find a way out.
Ow...
Oh my God guys,
it's the game.
It's Backlash.
What?
How hard did you hit your head?
This is real.
The game maps are based on
3D scans of actual locations.
Well, Frankie said
he visited the real
life psychiatric
hospital that the asylum.
The asylum level was based on.
So do you really
think this is it?
Yeah.
We're in Sam's sniper tower.
BANG!
More gunshots
Yep... this is real.
You fucking think!
Who the hell do we do?
We have to help her.
And we got shot at with
real bullets like that.
If this is the game
that we were playing
then it's a shrinking map and
these collars are
going to kill us.
Aly, we're coming for you!
No don't, don't.
If you come out here,
you get shot, and
I really don't
fucking recommend it.
Got any ammo left?
No we have to go,
have to go! Go!
Gunshots echo round the room.
(JJ whimpers,
struggles and grunts in
Now you've wasted all the ammo.
They don't know that.
What kind of sick psycho decides
to turn a game into reality?
The one that's going to kill us
if we don't figure a way out.
This is... this is the room
where Nash and I
found the weapons.
You think the others are here?
I hope not,
but if they are, then
we have more people
to fight against
who's shooting at us.
I need like a bandage or
something to wrap this with.
You bandage the wound and
I'll look for some weapons.
I never imagined! Arrggh!
Are you okay?
I'm good, I'm good.
Will was the
diplomat last night.
Clearly I'm not now, am I?
That was in a video game where
you don't bleed
when you get shot.
Who's the unlucky one now?
Frank was the only
other diplomat.
We've got to get to him
before the others do.
I don't know how much
help I'm going to
be with all the
limping and bleeding.
We've got no choice the
game map is shrinking.
And if we stay here,
then there's no way out.
Aaarrr!!
Will... Will!!
Hey, please, please
don't be dead.
Hey, come on, come on. Get up!
Hey, hey. It's me.
It was him or us.
Hey, come on, Will.
Get up Will! Get up!
Come here. Come here, Come here!
Get a hold of yourself?
Alright.
You want to end up like that?
It was either him or us.
You don't want to die, do you?
Okay. Well, you
need to get a grip.
Where is your gun?
Marnie...
What?
Marnie...
Fuck, you fucking dumb bitch.
Now they're better
armed than us.
Please...
Look at me... Look at me.
I'm sorry. I'm
sorry. I'm just...
I don't know. I'm just freaking
out. You know how I get.
I know, but it's
okay because you have
your gun and you've
got your ammunition.
Bec, I told you.
I'm out of ammo,
so it's useless.
You're such an idiot.
That's her. That's my Aly.
Yeah Nash. That's her.
And not like she's yours.
So don't turn into a
lovesick puppy just yet.
I mean, really... is
your name even Nash?
Of course it is.
I know it don't look like
that blonde beefcake,
but I'm still the
same person she's
been talking to
this entire time.
Sure, of course you are.
Okay, guys, can we
just stop, please?
It obvious they've gotten away.
Okay, We just need to find.
He'll be at the
center of the map, and
there's only two
ways to get there.
We get him and then we get them.
How do you know it's him?
Well, it was Will last game,
but clearly it's not now.
So the only other player
it leaves is Frankie.
Once we get him and
then we nail the rest.
These people are your
friends, aren't they?
Aren't they?
We should be working with them
to escape. Not by killing them.
Getting killed tends to
end friendships Nash,
And I know which side
of that I want to be on.
So...
if you're not with me,
then you're against me.
Marnie?
What are we going to do?
The diplomat was chained
at the centre of the map.
We can set a trap right?
Yeah. Wow.
You're just so clever.
Sam, we don't have
to kill the diplomat.
We don't have a choice Nash
That's not Frankie, it's JJ.
Who?
Marnie's little sister.
We can't kill her.
We don't have a choice.
We can't do this. We
can find another way.
What other way. There's
no other way out.
As long as she lives,
we aren't leaving.
She needs to die,
I can't, I can't
let you do this.
Get out of the way.
I will not let you kill a kid.
Please. Please.
You stupid whore. Do you
want to get us all killed?
No. No. No.
Marnie, it's JJ
Get JJ, get JJ.
You show your face,
and I'll kill you Sam!
Good luck with that. You're
a crap shot in reality.
Shut up!
Come on!
I'm trying. I'm trying.
You're making a mistake Aly.
Shut up weasel!
You guys don't understand.
Hurry up.
You don't know
what you're doing.
You missed again Marnie.
I'll get her.
No, Marnie, get her
out, get JJ out. Go Go.
Get out of here.
Get JJ out of here.
No Marnie no, no no no.
Stop!
Marnie Stop. No!
No!
Stay where you are.
Not finished with you yet.
Where is the exit?
I don't know where the exit is.
But JJ is the diplomat so
if Marnie gets her there
and then the game ends
and we'll all live OK.
No, we don't.
Shock cuff.
These turned on after we failed
to stop you at the sniper tower.
This is now a death match.
Don't, come on, hey -
So. Aly.
Tell me where the exit is...
and you can die quickly.
There's another way
we can handle this.
Leave her alone.
She's telling the truth.
Aly doesn't lie.
Who are you?
That's Nash.
No... no. No.
Yeah.
It really is.
Here's your chance to find out
where Marnie and JJ are going.
You told me how
you're claustrophobic.
You did.
When you were a kid, you hated
being trapped small places.
How do you know this about me?
You told me about Marnie,
how she'd changed.
And all her friends left her
but you didn't. You stayed.
No, you're not Nash
I am.
I'm sorry, but I am.
How do you know this about me?
You told me about your mother
when you came back from
school and found her -
no, no. No. It's. Shut up.
You told me.
Shut up. Shut up!
Whoever you are, don't
talk about my mother.
Enough!
You shut the fuck up.
He used a fake avatar. A
blonde cutie you'd like.
I trusted you.
I told you everything.
Oh Aly. You did tell
me he was an old soul.
Bloody pedo.
So, Aly, tell me
where the exit is.
I told you, I don't know.
Get off her.
Shut it perv.
Please... please.
Where is Marnie and JJ?
I didn't even know JJ was the
diplomat, how am
I meant to know?
Bull crap.
You tell me the truth right now.
I already did you sick fuck.
Okay...
No... no... Get away from me.
I gave you a chance
and you failed.
If you don't wanna talk...
I'll make you talk!
Bec! Help me!
I can't. I'm sorry!
I can't! I can't!
Sam!
Don't you hurt her.
Sam!
Bec?!
Sorry.
Okay...
You okay?
Where are we going?
We have to find a way out
before the others catch us.
Every diplomat
level has an exit.
What are you talking about?
What is this thing?
You don't...
What is it?
You don't have it.
What is this thing?
I need you to say
here, I'm just going to
check if there's an
exit through there.
Marnie don't leave.
Don't leave Marnie.
What's a diplomat level?
I don't know where I
am, or what's going on?
Marnie, I...
I just want to go home.
Please.
Come on, what is this thing?
Marnie, please talk to me.
Please, please, please.
There's no way out and
we need to keep moving.
Where is the exit?
I swear I don't know.
Where is it?
I don't know.
Sam! Open the door!
I told you, I don't
know, I don't -
Sam, she
didn't do anything.
She doesn't know
anything, she's not lying.
Nash really likes you.
Stop...
Tell me the truth.
I am, I am, I am!
Sam!!
He's not going to listen.
He never listens
Nash. It's just...
the more you beg...
The harder he hits.
It's my fault.
You know, if I just
listened to what I was
meant to do, and if at
school, with friends...
All yours...
Aly... Aly!!
Please get up.
Aly get up please.
Please.
When I make a decision,
you stay out of my way.
Aly...
Wake up... come on
get up... please.
She said she didn't
know anything.
You still did this to her.
I gave her a chance.
She gave me no choice.
You psycho.
She was the most beautiful
person I ever met.
You never met her Nash, and she
didn't even know who you were.
I knew her.
I knew her, her
hopes, her dreams.
Her dreams.
And you ended them.
And Nash...
you're going to join her pretty
soon if we don't find Marnie.
Get off me.
Get off me.
Know you place...
Let go of me!
I need you alive.
Let's get out of here.
You know that game that
you heard us playing?
Well, someone's playing it
for real and we're in it.
What the hell. What did you do?
Who was it? Who did this?
I don't know.
But what if we don't know who it
is, how do we know
what they want?
I don't know.
And I'm this
diplomat thing, this
is what this thing
on my wrist is?
I just need you to
stay here, okay?
And I'm going to see
if this is an exit.
Stay.
They want me dead Marnie.
No one is going to
kill you JJ, okay.
I would never let that happen.
I heard them.
Once the diplomat, once
I'm dead, the game ends.
And if I get you
to the exit, then
no one has to die
and the game ends.
We left Aly behind.
We're gonna get her back.
Marnie?
Marnie? Are you
okay? Talk to me.
I need to know where you are.
I just need a moment.
Are you okay?
I'm okay. I'll be okay.
Just through here.
You smell weird.
Thank you. JJ.
No, it's like how you smelt
in the hospital last year.
Marnie? When was the
last time you ate?
Marnie!?
I didn't have dinner last night.
When we argued.
It's all my fault.
It's not your fault.
It's my fault.
Why do you always blame
yourself for everything.
It doesn't matter?
We need to find the exit, it's
always on the side of the map.
Marnie.
Seriously.
Sam, get away from us.
You know I can't do that.
Why? If the diplomat's
rescued, then the game's over.
Not in death match mode.
How do you know it's
death match mode?
That's what we
were playing last.
What is death match mode?
The exit is blocked until
the other team are dead.
And if I counted
shots correctly.
You only have two bullets
left and there's three of us.
Don't think I won't.
Yeah. Yeah.
You're a real killer.
This is not a video game.
The exit is right there,
we can all leave, right?
We can all leave -
Feel that metal thing
around your wrist.
Yeah,
That's why. It's a shock cuff.
There were no shock
cuffs in the game.
How do you know so much?
I don't.
I just know it can kill us.
Stop. Stop.
No one's going to die. We're
going to find a way out.
What did you do?
Who did you piss off so badly
that they want to do this to us?
Frankie
Frankie Daniels.
He hasn't been in school
for the past few days.
And then we
humiliated him in the
game, and then you
posted it online.
That was just a joke,
that we all found funny.
And really, do you
think the little
weasel has the balls
to do all this?
Think about it?
It's not him.
It isn't.
How do you know more than we do?
What?
Sam... what?
That guy...
That guy that took us...
okay...
It wasn't him. It
can't be Frankie.
This guy was wearing a mask,
and he was taller and bigger,
and he didn't
sound like Frankie.
He paid someone. It's
him, this is his revenge.
I was the first to wake
up. Nobody else... just me.
And he told me everything.
He told me about
the death match.
The shock cuffs
and the rules.
Marnie...
We have to kill you... and
you... to get out of here alive.
And you're just going
to listen to him?
Sam, since when have you
taken shit from anyone?
Come on...
Okay, so if we, If
we were to work together,
does anyone have any idea how to
stop these collars
from killing us?
If we step off the map?
There Marnie.
There's only one way out.
Either you kill us or...
you and the kid will die.
An electric shock.
Map's shrinking
again Marnie, soon
there won't be an exit to reach,
Even if you do end
up killing us all.
This is not a game.
It's make up your mind time now.
This is not a game Sam!
Come on Marnie, just
fucking shoot me!
I didn't hesitate.
When I had to kill Aly.
No you fucking didn't.
I didn't hesitate for a moment.
Sick fuck.
No no, you're lying.
Anyways, now let's
just get on with this
because let me tell
you something Marnie,
the way out ain't opening
til we're all dead.
Marnie run!
Marnie, make it stop!
I can hear all of it.
I can hear all of it.
Marnie, make it stop!
Get up... Get. Up.
I guess it's now 2 vs 2...
2 left with 2 bullets left.
It's simple,
except you just can't do it.
You murderer.
He attacked me. He
tried to kill me.
It was his fault. Not mine.
It's never you fault.
Come on JJ.
I'm not backing down without a
fight, not to a fucking coward.
A coward?
A coward?
Don't you dare talk
to me like you.
You entitled little shit.
You, you, you...
you don't know me.
You have no idea what
it's like in my life.
To have to fight for
everything just to survive.
So don't you fucking
dare talk to me like that
you stupid bitch.
Marnie run!
What are you doing?
I should've done this years ago.
Well I guess it's
a bit too late now.
Don't let me die like that.
Don't let me die
like that Marnie.
She sounded so tortured.
I heard her scream
and die, so scared.
I can't see him anywhere.
I'm going to get us out, okay.
You had a gun.
Sam said so. Why didn't
you use it Marnie?
You have to trust me.
You let that happen Marnie.
You let it happen.
Gonna get us out.
How?
Aly is dead.
That guy Nash. And now Bec...
It's Aly... okay... it's Aly.
Your hearing is
awesome Jasmine...
Can you tell me,
if he's further away
or is he coming closer?
He's moving away. He's
walking away from us.
Aly... Aly... You're ok.
I'm okay, I'm okay.
We don't time, we need to keep
moving. The map's
still shrinking too.
What? Sam mentioned
that. What's shrinking?
The area we can stay in without
being electrocuted is shrinking.
It's pushing us
closer to the center
where I don't know who
has done this to us
is waiting there.
We still think that is Frankie.
Frankie. Of course.
How could you not realize you
were hurting him so badly.
It was just a game
JJ. It wasn't real.
It felt real to him.
Why are you defending him?
Because I'm just like him.
I know how he feels Marnie.
Right now.
We need to. We need to
survive him. Okay, so...
Marnie, he liked you.
You can talk him down,
If anyone could.
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
I just haven't
had lunch since...
Well, it doesn't matter, really.
Gotta keep going okay?
Been thinking about
getting out of these...
The collars don't
shock us randomly, so
they're not being
operated individually.
It's like responding
to some sort of
signal from a central
hub or something.
In theory, a wireless signal
that hits everywhere equally,
all at the same time,
creating a circular field.
So it is centered in
the middle of the map.
Which is where we
found JJ, But I just
don't remember there
being a control room.
I remember hearing him
walking beneath me.
The bottom floor was
directly underneath us.
Shhhh... quiet.
He's coming back...
We need to go.
He's going to get
pushed closer and closer
to us. He's going to
get us eventually.
We fight back.
Getting closer.
You think you can beat him?
I don't have a choice. We
can use what he doesn't know.
We have to go now.
Against the wall,
get against the wall.
Come on girls.
I'm getting real bored of this.
Go go, go through there.
Well, now, that didn't
work out, did it?
You've looked better Marnie.
Hell, I even thought
about fucking
you instead of that slut Bec,
but right now, you
look like shit,
so it'd be like
screwing a dead body.
But I prefer a bit of fight.
You're an animal.
Stay away from us Sam.
You know I can't do that,
and you know the rules.
And you know the rules.
I can persuade Frankie.
Just. Just give me a chance.
It's not him.
And even if it was, he could
have stopped this by now.
You touch her and I'll kill you.
This is a chance for
redemption Marnie.
Finally a chance to
make it all right.
Shut up.
Just surely, surely
you want to tell your
sister the truth
before you both die?
What happened...
Why you are like you are.
Shut up.
Oh
Marnie, Marnie, Marnie.
You blame yourself everything
yet you aren't to blame.
But... there's just one thing
that we both know
that you did do.
What is he talking about Marnie?
Yeah Marnie...
What am I talking about?
Marnie?
Well, JJ,
it goes something like this...
Hey a'hole!
I killed you.
It takes a lot longer to
drown someone in real life.
Than it does in a
stupid fucking game.
Marnie... Marnie come back.
Marnie...
Aly - Wait wait wait wait wait.
Don't do it.
Don't do it.
Why Marnie?
Why shouldn't I? Look
what he's done...
Bec...
Nash...
Thought nothing of
killing you and JJ.
You... you don't have the guts.
You don't want to do this Aly.
That's the thing Marnie.
I really do.
Marnie?
Is he dead?
Yeah.
Good.
You don't mean that.
I do.
I do.
So this is it right?
We won right?
Come on. Whoever you are.
We did it. We won, you
lost you lost, you lost.
We won, we can go home. Right?
No JJ, I'm sorry.
That's not how this works.
But how did you do it in
the game? How does it work?
In the game, there's always
a secret passage to the exit.
The secret passage
to the exit...
The secret passage
to the exit...
It's got to be in the hallway.
It's got to be this way.
Sorry guys.
It's getting closer.
In the game, there's
enough life force
to get us to the
exit but in reality
we have five working legs, an
insulin deprived
diabetic, and...
I know...
I get it.
Sorry JJ.
I just need to go to
the control room, okay?
If I get to the
control room, we can
figure out how
these collars work.
What do we do when
we find Frankie?
How are you going to talk
him out of it Marnie?
I don't know.
Figured it out.
Marnie, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
I didn't mean to...
I shouldn't have yelled at you.
This is all my fault.
No...
This is all my fault.
No, you don't have to blame
yourself for everything.
Sam said that too, but...
What was he talking about?
I need to tell you.
Marnie, now is not the time.
There is no time.
Right now we need to focus
on getting out of here.
Aly, four of us is dead,
and the map is shrinking.
Tell me when the
fucking time is?
The firework...
It was just a prank.
My friends...
okay it was just a prank.
And me and my friends wanted to
just throw it through the window
and hear it go
bang! It wasn't...
The fuse wasn't meant to
take as long as it did.
You weren't meant to walk in.
None of it was meant to happen.
I'm sorry...
Just a prank...
A joke...
I'm sorry.
I lost everyone except for Aly.
They couldn't handle it.
They couldn't handle me.
You did this...
you did this to me.
You did this to me...
No you didn't, no
you didn't Marnie.
No, stop Marnie stop.
Please I'm so sorry JJ.
You broke me.
You took everything.
Everything away from me.
Everything that made me me,
it's all gone, it's all gone.
I'm sorry.
No...
I will never see colours again.
I will never watch
the world go by.
I will never see
Dad's face again.
It's all because of you,
And you're sorry?!
Jasmine, I'm so sorry.
No, Aly. You knew.
You both knew. No one told me.
For two years...
JJ, please don't go. Don't go.
I never want to hear
your voice again.
Don't say that.
Don't say that.
I got to get her -
No Marnie.
I gotta get her.
Marnie! No. No!
Hey, hey, hey.
You're going to find JJ, okay?
You're going to
go get JJ, and I'm
going to go to the control room
and figure out how these
things work and turn them off.
Then take my gun.
I didn't think you
have any bullets left.
One for me and one for JJ.
I couldn't handle her dying
slowly, so I kept them.
That's why you didn't shoot Sam.
I don't think I could.
JJ. I'm so sorry JJ.
JJ...
JJ, are you there?
JJ. Please. Please.
I'm so sorry, please.
Come on JJ. Come out. Come on!
That's the wrong way.
JJ. I'm so sorry.
Is someone there?
Marnie?
Please be Marnie, please.
Call to Marnie.
No.
No.
JJ?
JJ?
I can't see anything.
Just come out.
Just come out if you are here.
Please. Please.
I'm so sorry.
Marnie...
Oh my God...
Marnie, help me, please.
Marnie... Marnie
You're not Frankie.
If you weren't so self-absorbed,
you'd know exactly who I am.
Whatever Frank is paying
you, I'll double it.
You think this is about money?
I'll do anything.
Okay. I'll do anything.
Just let her go.
She didn't do anything wrong.
Neither did my brother.
Who?
Exactly.
All he wanted was for
you to notice him.
She seems nice.
She is.
It's Backlash time.
I'd still love to play
the game with you guys.
You can play one game.
F-Dan the Man inbound people.
Waste of oxygen.
Go kill yourself.
Pathetic loser.
So uploading this, they'll
love it.
Joe pick up.
Stupid Frankie.
Stupid Frankie.
Please pick up.
All he wanted to
do was play a game.
A game!
And you invited him in,
and then you broke him.
I didn't. I didn't know.
Bull crap.
Liar. Liar!
You and your friends
destroyed him
from the safety
of your own homes,
hiding behind your
computer screens,
completely devoid from the
reality of what you say and do.
Would he want you to do this?
I'll never know what he wants.
Frankie.
Frankie.
I'm sorry I missed your call...
but I got your favourite dinner.
Frankie man, you -
I'm so sorry,
Okay, I'm so sorry
that this has happened.
My brother killed
himself because
of you and your vicious friends.
But I need you to let her go.
She didn't have anything to
do with Frankie. That was me.
I'm the guilty one. If you want
to kill someone, you kill me.
Please kill me.
She's done nothing wrong.
Nothing.
She's my little sister.
Please.
Please
kill me.
She's innocent.
So was my brother.
No, no, no, no, no, no, don't -
I'm sorry.
Stay... stay...
Stop. Stop... please.
Stay...
No, no, no, no.
Kidnapping her
wasn't an accident.
She was the lesson.
Now you know how it feels
to lose someone you love.
Someone who's innocent.
I'm gonna fucking kill you.
I'm gonna kill you.
JJ...
please stay with me,
please stay... stay...
I need to go... I need to go.
I have to, I have
to. I'm so sorry...
So you're the little hacker.
Frankie said it was a
smart one in your group.
Makes sense that you're
the last one alive.
You're Joe.
Frankie's brother.
Was.
Were you mean was?
Oh my God.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
So am I.
He's a really good kid.
He didn't deserve this.
I wish I could change it.
We all wish we could change it.
Of course you do,
now that you actually
have to deal with
what you've done
now that you're not hiding
behind the computer screen.
HEY. Hey.
Okay,
look.
You got whatever
it is you wanted
from us when you
brought us here.
Okay?
It's time to let us go...
It's time to let us go.
Okay.
Okay.
I never hurt Frankie. I
never did anything to him.
Exactly.
You did absolutely nothing.
You did nothing to help him,
and you did nothing
to stop them.
And that makes you just
as guilty as they are.
You get what I mean?
Please...
Ex-military intelligence
moved into cyber security,
Silly little girl who thinks
she can hack with the big boys.
Marnie...
She didn't make it.
No one's coming to save you,
I save myself a'hole.
Seriously?
Marnie...
You're supposed to be dead.
I wish.
If this fucking shock collar
wouldn't keep waking me up.
Let her go...
Shoot him, Marnie... Shoot him.
Please,
You killed Jasmine.
We have to get out of here.
No, we can't. The electric field
is getting closer and closer.
We're trapped.
No extra lives, no re
spawns, no reboots.
We can't let him get
away with this Marnie.
We can't let him get away.
We have to try.
We have to try.
No.
If we turn the collars off
we'll live, but so will he.
We've got to finish this.
Please...
No...
Marnie...
When it's done...
when it's done,
I need you to just
press the 'N' key.
I need you to do it, okay.
We can find another way.
Marnie.
Marnie...
You can do this.
No, I'm not.
Marnie...
It's time to let go.
Marnie... go... go.
Loud firecracker explosion.
No, JJ, I
need to get ready.
I'm just having a shower.
Yeah, but you take forever.
Not compared to you!
Marnie.
Let Jasmine go first.
It's J.J., not Jasmine.
It's J.J.
It's fine. Come on. Go first.
Thank you.
You are such a little shit.
At least I don't
stink! I don't stink!!!
Marnie, can you help your
sister with the hair?
It's not even.
Yes it is.
And you really need to be doing
much better with
your grades, Marnie
we didn't send
you to such a good
school for you to
fail like you are.
Hey no! I did it
myself. They're fine.
Debatable.
Are you doing a
sarcastic face, serious
face, or just your plain
ugly face, as usual?
And is the school okay
with your makeup like that?
I thought you'd grown out of it.
She's just such
a disappointment.
Come on J.J. I'm sorry. I
didn't mean to run us late.
You never do.
That's fine.
Hurry up. We have to
sign in at the office.
Will you let me know
where the doors are?
Is that the girl you
like? Is that her?
She seems nice. She is.
I think... I think.
What's she like? What's
she into? What does she do?
She plays this online game.
It's called Backlash.
The super hyper
realistic one that
doesn't use proper
infiltration tactics.
It's pretty frickin real for us.
We can't all be big, tough
army guys like you. Can we?
No, but you can dream.
Give me a hug!
Love you buddy, you look after
yourself, you're a good kid.
Just talk to her,
be yourself and
maybe they'll let
you join in the game.
Okay. Okay.
Aye, Aye, Captain,
Really? Yeah. Really?
You didn't think
it through did you?
You're late!
Quick.
I'm coming.
Is it 23 or 24?
I think 23.
Stairs.
Come on.
What do you want
me to do Marnie?
I know that you can go faster.
Look who's coming...
She just
does it for attention.
Bet
she's not even blind.
She looks like a pet
following her sister
around. Like a dog.
You should do that thing.
Don't be a killjoy.
Sam gave it to me.
Another door?
Ha, ha. Very funny.
Seriously, if you
ever need to talk.
There's nothing to talk about.
How ya doing?
You ok?
Nice.
It's just a white
cardigan, nothing special.
Looking for room 23 yeah?
Yeah.
Just a few paces back
that way to your left.
I know...
Marnie, your shadow's back.
Lucky me.
Did you bring it?
Yeah, hold on.
Hope there's more for me later?
Wow, real subtle, guys.
Though I don't
think any of these
idiots would notice anyways.
You know, I'm happy to do a full
body search if you lose that.
You're disgusting.
And JJ
better keep her mouth shut
about our... business dealings.
She's not deaf.
Well, that's good at least.
It's not funny.
Sorry princess Jasmine.
It's J.J.
HEY! What the hell do
you think you're doing?
Trying to get her attention.
She might not know
she's standing
outside the wrong classroom.
Just helping her.
Mmmm. Yeah. That's real nice.
How about I help
you two fuck off?
Come on, get out of here.
Hey. You okay?
Don't worry about them,
they're just idiots.
Where the hell were you? Hey!
Nice of you to join
us. No Aly, it's okay.
I heard her footsteps,
she was coming.
Should get to the
right classroom.
What?
Marnie... I've
known you for years.
I've known both you
and JJ for years.
I swear I just don't
recognize you anymore.
I have a lot on my plate
at the moment, Aly,
Okay.
You can't expect me to take care
of her every second
of every day.
I've got my own life. Aly,
I'm failing my assessments,
my dad is always on my back
I'm just really
worried about you guys.
Well, she's my sister, so
it's fine. I'll talk to her.
OK.
How do you understand
all of that?
Life's simple in
code. Find fault,
fix fault. Code doesn't lie.
I'm going to talk to her. Okay.
Promise?
Promise.
Okay. Sorry.
So what's that for, anyway?
Just a little something I
have in mind for tonight.
Speaking of later, you guys in?
Definitely. Yeah.
I'll be there. So will Nash.
Nash... aww, it's
always about Nash.
Well, we know that if Nash
is there, Aly will be there.
Hey, I do still have a
brain of my own guys.
I don't think it's his
brain you're interested in.
Look, he's really
kind, and he listens.
Bit of an old soul. Pedophile.
Okay. Have you met him for real?
Look, I know that
he's older, but
that's quite refreshing amongst
a horde of animals.
Okay, well, 7 p.m..
It's Backlash Time.
Two teams, head to
head? Asylum level.
How about death match mode?
My brother's ex-army.
Um, he, he says it's
not very realistic,
but I still love
to be able to play
the game with you guys sometime.
Anytime really, you know, I'm
not that busy.
Play with us or...
play with Marnie?
Well, did you know that It
actually, it uses
real locations.
And I've even been to the real
life abandoned mental hospital
that the psych asylum
level was based on.
And it's super cool. You can
you can. Scan your face in.
And you can use
your as your avatar.
How cool is that? Right?
Right. That's pretty cool.
But let me tell you something.
If I had face like
yours, I probably
wouldn't want to
see it on a screen.
In fact,
I'd probably kill myself to save
everybody else
from looking at it.
Yeah, that's a really
valuable life lesson.
Guys... that's a bit harsh.
The guy knows I'm joking.
Don't you?
Yeah.
One game.
You can play one
game... with us.
F-Dan the Man inbound
people. Let's Go!
Yeah. You can play diplomat
mode. That's always fun.
And as long as I'm
not the diplomat.
Bugger.
Not again.
Guys, guys, guys.
I think I'm lagging, I'm lagging
guys! Can we. Can we restart?
Can we just stop.
Stop shooting at me.
Here I am, rescuing
the diplomat,
and you just shoot at me.
Come on, Manie, Come out.
Come out wherever you are.
I got the infinite bullets perk.
How am I out? Again?
I'm still lagging.
Can we just restart?
Stop playing with
them and get on with it.
Where would
the fun be in that?
Why do I even hang out with you?
My charm and personality.
Actually, it's
your tits, but anyhow.
How do I look?
Does it suit me?
Yeah. Well, everything
looks good on you Nash.
Thanks, babe. You too.
Let's go to clear out Sam
and his little sniper tower.
Marnie's run out
of bullets. Again.
Even with this
shitty internet lag,
I can still fucking
waste you Marnie.
Good job, Marnie.
Come on. We got him.
That'll be your
teammates, Marnie.
They hunt in a pack... of
two. And you should be dead.
Oops. Looks like someone
hacked the code, Weasel face.
Immortality Perk.
Nice babe. You got
to teach me how to do that.
I just let you guys win, right?
Yeah, well, you
didn't let me win,
Marnie. You guys try
playing with lag.
Come on, Aly,
just play fair.
Fine. You win.
I always do.
And now it's back to you.
Still lagging
Bec, Just stop.
The protectors have failed,
and the diplomat
was not rescued.
Wow. Thanks, guys. So
much fun playing with you.
Load up another, same map.
I'm so done
saving you, Aly.
You're saving me now.
I thought we
had something special.
In your dreams, blondie.
Yes you are, and I am.
Bleurgh. Yuck.
Online flirting.
Please kill me. Again.
But you make it so easy.
At least you're
better than Nash.
He plays like he's
some fucking old man
I joined the game,
but I need to refuel.
I've got low blood sugars.
But hanging with you guys
is a fucked kind of fun.
I'm going to slit Frankie's
fucking throat when I see him
Hungry?
Uh - Huh.
I wonder why that is.
What do you want JJ?
A fucked kind of fun?
Really?
Can you just turn
that super hearing
off for once and
give me some privacy?
I don't understand why you
hang out with those people?
Those people?
Yeah Marnie, those
people. Two years ago,
you had the nicest
friends, and now
it's just Aly and those a'holes.
Leave me alone, okay.
Things they are saying
Marnie. It's disgusting.
It's just a game, idiot.
Okay, and I'm allowed to hang
out with whoever I want to.
I'm not trying to say you
can't. No, except you are.
Marnie... I... Marnie...
I'm so sick of you constantly
leeching off my life.
Just get your own.
What...
What...
I can't even have a conversation
without you listening in.
It's not my fault.
No, of course it's
not your fault.
It's my fault, isn't it?
It's always Marnie's fault.
How long do I have to take
the blame for everything?
The blame for what?
Marnie, no one is
blaming you for anything.
I'm just worried. Okay.
About what?
I know you're
buying pot from Sam.
You know, I smell on your
breath almost every night.
The mints do nothing. You're
not hiding it at all okay.
It's only a matter of
time before Dad busts you.
And who knows what
he's going to do?
Listen very
carefully princess...
Don't call me that. No, I'm
so fucking done with you.
Okay?
I'm done looking
after you every day.
Having everything you
need every fucking day,
making sure that you
get to school every day.
Having everything
you could ever need.
I'm not your fucking guide dog.
Chill out, Aly. Jeez.
It's a game. It's not
real and it's fucking Frankie.
And the little shit
wanted to play with us.
I'm back. Guys.
Let's just kill
this son of a bitch.
I think that's enough.
Whatever. I'm
so uploading this.
They'll love it.
Yeah, I'm done for the night.
Fuck your stupid game
and fuck you all.
I don't want to be your
fucking boyfriend anyway.
You will bloody regret this.
JJ, please, can you hurry
up? We can't be late again.
Nice try, but making
my favorite food
doesn't take away anything
you said to me yesterday.
I'll stop leeching off you now.
JJ, please. Please.
I know I should have been there
yesterday, and I
know that I'm sorry.
Yes. You should be.
Jasmine,
how long are you going
to act like this for?
Until you stop being a bitch.
JJ!!
No Marnie!
No. You weren't there.
I was coming... No.
You weren't. Okay.
I know the sound your footsteps
but all I heard with
my super hearing
was everyone laughing at me.
Jasmine.
I haven't heard you
call Jasmine in a while.
It must be pretty serious.
Yeah, I really
messed up this time.
Don't really know if
she's going to forgive me.
Sorry... Anything I can do?
My shadow still isn't here.
Normally, I'm used
to him perking
up all expectant when I walk in.
Well, that video of
him getting killed
in the game did go
incredibly viral.
Millions of views already. I
wouldn't come to school either.
Hope he's okay? Yeah.
I won't miss his
eyes on me, though.
Every time yuck!
JJ, can we please talk?
I know you can hear me.
Sometimes I wish I couldn't.
Clearly a closed door
means walk right in.
I want to apologize.
Course you do. You can take your
apology and screw
yourself with it.
Jasmine -
No.
Marnie do not.
Do not call me that.
I hate that name. I hate it.
Jasmine is...
She had a life and
friends and color
and could do things
by herself and didn't
have a sister who
fucking hates her.
I'm not her anymore.
I don't hate you.
Marnie, just get out.
Oh JJ...
Get out Marnie!
That game gets more
and more screwed.
Marnie?
Marnie, you ok?
Marnie?
You okay?
Marnie?
Who's there?
Marnie...
Stop playing around.
Please... Please...
Please, just take
whatever you want.
Aly?
Wake up. Wake up.
Marnie...
Marnie -
What's happening?
What the hell is happening?
No. No. No.
Marnie No. What's happening.
No Marnie no.
The chains and collars, they're
connected by climbers
belaying clips.
They don't break. If they're not
locked, we can be
free of the collars.
If we just get our hands
out of these things.
Do you know how
to pick handcuffs?
Because I'd really like
to be free right now.
That key.
What?
That key right there.
That'd get us out.
Stop.
Guys - Stop, stop, stop.
Stop, stop, guys...
Okay, stop.
There's not enough
slack in the chains
for us all to get it. The
chains are all connected.
Someone has a really
fucking sick sense of humor.
It's like that
horror sequel where
if they work together,
they survive.
I don't think
whoever has done this
has done this just
for us to get stuck.
What the hell was that?
I don't. I don't
know. It's like.
It was like pins being
dug into my neck.
Move forward, move forward.
The shocks are less -
The collars - they
are shock collars.
Whatever's causing the
shocks is moving us forward.
Like the space we can stay
in is getting smaller.
That means -
We're really running
out of time here.
I can reach it.
I've got my hands
in front of me. You guys don't -
I think there's enough
slack in the middle.
But if you go for the key, we'll
get pulled back
into the shock zone.
But if I don't?
Please...
Fine.
Go.
Marnie!
Marnie - stop.
Marnie, please hurry.
I can't. There's
not enough slack.
Please just stop Give us
a break and try again.
It's only going to get worse!
Marnie stop, stop! Please!
Stand up! Stand up and
lean over the edge.
What?!
You fucking kidding me?
Please, Please hurry up.
Come on.
Please. Stop!
Come on.
Please stop!
I'm trying!
Get it off me,
please get it off.
If we figure out
what's controlling
these things, it's
probably an easy hack.
Is there anything on
the outside of the
collars, like some
kind of access point?
No, no, it's all solid metal.
I'm here too guys, I
could do with a hug.
Looks like you put
up a good fight?
Yeah. The splitting headache
says I should have gone quietly.
This is insane.
Did either of you
hear those gunshots?
Gunshots?
Seriously? Guns?
I don't know.
Maybe I'm hearing
things amongst all the
pain and screaming
and electrocution Aly!
What?
This place looks
really familiar.
Familiar or not, we just
need to find a way out.
Ow...
Oh my God guys,
it's the game.
It's Backlash.
What?
How hard did you hit your head?
This is real.
The game maps are based on
3D scans of actual locations.
Well, Frankie said
he visited the real
life psychiatric
hospital that the asylum.
The asylum level was based on.
So do you really
think this is it?
Yeah.
We're in Sam's sniper tower.
BANG!
More gunshots
Yep... this is real.
You fucking think!
Who the hell do we do?
We have to help her.
And we got shot at with
real bullets like that.
If this is the game
that we were playing
then it's a shrinking map and
these collars are
going to kill us.
Aly, we're coming for you!
No don't, don't.
If you come out here,
you get shot, and
I really don't
fucking recommend it.
Got any ammo left?
No we have to go,
have to go! Go!
Gunshots echo round the room.
(JJ whimpers,
struggles and grunts in
Now you've wasted all the ammo.
They don't know that.
What kind of sick psycho decides
to turn a game into reality?
The one that's going to kill us
if we don't figure a way out.
This is... this is the room
where Nash and I
found the weapons.
You think the others are here?
I hope not,
but if they are, then
we have more people
to fight against
who's shooting at us.
I need like a bandage or
something to wrap this with.
You bandage the wound and
I'll look for some weapons.
I never imagined! Arrggh!
Are you okay?
I'm good, I'm good.
Will was the
diplomat last night.
Clearly I'm not now, am I?
That was in a video game where
you don't bleed
when you get shot.
Who's the unlucky one now?
Frank was the only
other diplomat.
We've got to get to him
before the others do.
I don't know how much
help I'm going to
be with all the
limping and bleeding.
We've got no choice the
game map is shrinking.
And if we stay here,
then there's no way out.
Aaarrr!!
Will... Will!!
Hey, please, please
don't be dead.
Hey, come on, come on. Get up!
Hey, hey. It's me.
It was him or us.
Hey, come on, Will.
Get up Will! Get up!
Come here. Come here, Come here!
Get a hold of yourself?
Alright.
You want to end up like that?
It was either him or us.
You don't want to die, do you?
Okay. Well, you
need to get a grip.
Where is your gun?
Marnie...
What?
Marnie...
Fuck, you fucking dumb bitch.
Now they're better
armed than us.
Please...
Look at me... Look at me.
I'm sorry. I'm
sorry. I'm just...
I don't know. I'm just freaking
out. You know how I get.
I know, but it's
okay because you have
your gun and you've
got your ammunition.
Bec, I told you.
I'm out of ammo,
so it's useless.
You're such an idiot.
That's her. That's my Aly.
Yeah Nash. That's her.
And not like she's yours.
So don't turn into a
lovesick puppy just yet.
I mean, really... is
your name even Nash?
Of course it is.
I know it don't look like
that blonde beefcake,
but I'm still the
same person she's
been talking to
this entire time.
Sure, of course you are.
Okay, guys, can we
just stop, please?
It obvious they've gotten away.
Okay, We just need to find.
He'll be at the
center of the map, and
there's only two
ways to get there.
We get him and then we get them.
How do you know it's him?
Well, it was Will last game,
but clearly it's not now.
So the only other player
it leaves is Frankie.
Once we get him and
then we nail the rest.
These people are your
friends, aren't they?
Aren't they?
We should be working with them
to escape. Not by killing them.
Getting killed tends to
end friendships Nash,
And I know which side
of that I want to be on.
So...
if you're not with me,
then you're against me.
Marnie?
What are we going to do?
The diplomat was chained
at the centre of the map.
We can set a trap right?
Yeah. Wow.
You're just so clever.
Sam, we don't have
to kill the diplomat.
We don't have a choice Nash
That's not Frankie, it's JJ.
Who?
Marnie's little sister.
We can't kill her.
We don't have a choice.
We can't do this. We
can find another way.
What other way. There's
no other way out.
As long as she lives,
we aren't leaving.
She needs to die,
I can't, I can't
let you do this.
Get out of the way.
I will not let you kill a kid.
Please. Please.
You stupid whore. Do you
want to get us all killed?
No. No. No.
Marnie, it's JJ
Get JJ, get JJ.
You show your face,
and I'll kill you Sam!
Good luck with that. You're
a crap shot in reality.
Shut up!
Come on!
I'm trying. I'm trying.
You're making a mistake Aly.
Shut up weasel!
You guys don't understand.
Hurry up.
You don't know
what you're doing.
You missed again Marnie.
I'll get her.
No, Marnie, get her
out, get JJ out. Go Go.
Get out of here.
Get JJ out of here.
No Marnie no, no no no.
Stop!
Marnie Stop. No!
No!
Stay where you are.
Not finished with you yet.
Where is the exit?
I don't know where the exit is.
But JJ is the diplomat so
if Marnie gets her there
and then the game ends
and we'll all live OK.
No, we don't.
Shock cuff.
These turned on after we failed
to stop you at the sniper tower.
This is now a death match.
Don't, come on, hey -
So. Aly.
Tell me where the exit is...
and you can die quickly.
There's another way
we can handle this.
Leave her alone.
She's telling the truth.
Aly doesn't lie.
Who are you?
That's Nash.
No... no. No.
Yeah.
It really is.
Here's your chance to find out
where Marnie and JJ are going.
You told me how
you're claustrophobic.
You did.
When you were a kid, you hated
being trapped small places.
How do you know this about me?
You told me about Marnie,
how she'd changed.
And all her friends left her
but you didn't. You stayed.
No, you're not Nash
I am.
I'm sorry, but I am.
How do you know this about me?
You told me about your mother
when you came back from
school and found her -
no, no. No. It's. Shut up.
You told me.
Shut up. Shut up!
Whoever you are, don't
talk about my mother.
Enough!
You shut the fuck up.
He used a fake avatar. A
blonde cutie you'd like.
I trusted you.
I told you everything.
Oh Aly. You did tell
me he was an old soul.
Bloody pedo.
So, Aly, tell me
where the exit is.
I told you, I don't know.
Get off her.
Shut it perv.
Please... please.
Where is Marnie and JJ?
I didn't even know JJ was the
diplomat, how am
I meant to know?
Bull crap.
You tell me the truth right now.
I already did you sick fuck.
Okay...
No... no... Get away from me.
I gave you a chance
and you failed.
If you don't wanna talk...
I'll make you talk!
Bec! Help me!
I can't. I'm sorry!
I can't! I can't!
Sam!
Don't you hurt her.
Sam!
Bec?!
Sorry.
Okay...
You okay?
Where are we going?
We have to find a way out
before the others catch us.
Every diplomat
level has an exit.
What are you talking about?
What is this thing?
You don't...
What is it?
You don't have it.
What is this thing?
I need you to say
here, I'm just going to
check if there's an
exit through there.
Marnie don't leave.
Don't leave Marnie.
What's a diplomat level?
I don't know where I
am, or what's going on?
Marnie, I...
I just want to go home.
Please.
Come on, what is this thing?
Marnie, please talk to me.
Please, please, please.
There's no way out and
we need to keep moving.
Where is the exit?
I swear I don't know.
Where is it?
I don't know.
Sam! Open the door!
I told you, I don't
know, I don't -
Sam, she
didn't do anything.
She doesn't know
anything, she's not lying.
Nash really likes you.
Stop...
Tell me the truth.
I am, I am, I am!
Sam!!
He's not going to listen.
He never listens
Nash. It's just...
the more you beg...
The harder he hits.
It's my fault.
You know, if I just
listened to what I was
meant to do, and if at
school, with friends...
All yours...
Aly... Aly!!
Please get up.
Aly get up please.
Please.
When I make a decision,
you stay out of my way.
Aly...
Wake up... come on
get up... please.
She said she didn't
know anything.
You still did this to her.
I gave her a chance.
She gave me no choice.
You psycho.
She was the most beautiful
person I ever met.
You never met her Nash, and she
didn't even know who you were.
I knew her.
I knew her, her
hopes, her dreams.
Her dreams.
And you ended them.
And Nash...
you're going to join her pretty
soon if we don't find Marnie.
Get off me.
Get off me.
Know you place...
Let go of me!
I need you alive.
Let's get out of here.
You know that game that
you heard us playing?
Well, someone's playing it
for real and we're in it.
What the hell. What did you do?
Who was it? Who did this?
I don't know.
But what if we don't know who it
is, how do we know
what they want?
I don't know.
And I'm this
diplomat thing, this
is what this thing
on my wrist is?
I just need you to
stay here, okay?
And I'm going to see
if this is an exit.
Stay.
They want me dead Marnie.
No one is going to
kill you JJ, okay.
I would never let that happen.
I heard them.
Once the diplomat, once
I'm dead, the game ends.
And if I get you
to the exit, then
no one has to die
and the game ends.
We left Aly behind.
We're gonna get her back.
Marnie?
Marnie? Are you
okay? Talk to me.
I need to know where you are.
I just need a moment.
Are you okay?
I'm okay. I'll be okay.
Just through here.
You smell weird.
Thank you. JJ.
No, it's like how you smelt
in the hospital last year.
Marnie? When was the
last time you ate?
Marnie!?
I didn't have dinner last night.
When we argued.
It's all my fault.
It's not your fault.
It's my fault.
Why do you always blame
yourself for everything.
It doesn't matter?
We need to find the exit, it's
always on the side of the map.
Marnie.
Seriously.
Sam, get away from us.
You know I can't do that.
Why? If the diplomat's
rescued, then the game's over.
Not in death match mode.
How do you know it's
death match mode?
That's what we
were playing last.
What is death match mode?
The exit is blocked until
the other team are dead.
And if I counted
shots correctly.
You only have two bullets
left and there's three of us.
Don't think I won't.
Yeah. Yeah.
You're a real killer.
This is not a video game.
The exit is right there,
we can all leave, right?
We can all leave -
Feel that metal thing
around your wrist.
Yeah,
That's why. It's a shock cuff.
There were no shock
cuffs in the game.
How do you know so much?
I don't.
I just know it can kill us.
Stop. Stop.
No one's going to die. We're
going to find a way out.
What did you do?
Who did you piss off so badly
that they want to do this to us?
Frankie
Frankie Daniels.
He hasn't been in school
for the past few days.
And then we
humiliated him in the
game, and then you
posted it online.
That was just a joke,
that we all found funny.
And really, do you
think the little
weasel has the balls
to do all this?
Think about it?
It's not him.
It isn't.
How do you know more than we do?
What?
Sam... what?
That guy...
That guy that took us...
okay...
It wasn't him. It
can't be Frankie.
This guy was wearing a mask,
and he was taller and bigger,
and he didn't
sound like Frankie.
He paid someone. It's
him, this is his revenge.
I was the first to wake
up. Nobody else... just me.
And he told me everything.
He told me about
the death match.
The shock cuffs
and the rules.
Marnie...
We have to kill you... and
you... to get out of here alive.
And you're just going
to listen to him?
Sam, since when have you
taken shit from anyone?
Come on...
Okay, so if we, If
we were to work together,
does anyone have any idea how to
stop these collars
from killing us?
If we step off the map?
There Marnie.
There's only one way out.
Either you kill us or...
you and the kid will die.
An electric shock.
Map's shrinking
again Marnie, soon
there won't be an exit to reach,
Even if you do end
up killing us all.
This is not a game.
It's make up your mind time now.
This is not a game Sam!
Come on Marnie, just
fucking shoot me!
I didn't hesitate.
When I had to kill Aly.
No you fucking didn't.
I didn't hesitate for a moment.
Sick fuck.
No no, you're lying.
Anyways, now let's
just get on with this
because let me tell
you something Marnie,
the way out ain't opening
til we're all dead.
Marnie run!
Marnie, make it stop!
I can hear all of it.
I can hear all of it.
Marnie, make it stop!
Get up... Get. Up.
I guess it's now 2 vs 2...
2 left with 2 bullets left.
It's simple,
except you just can't do it.
You murderer.
He attacked me. He
tried to kill me.
It was his fault. Not mine.
It's never you fault.
Come on JJ.
I'm not backing down without a
fight, not to a fucking coward.
A coward?
A coward?
Don't you dare talk
to me like you.
You entitled little shit.
You, you, you...
you don't know me.
You have no idea what
it's like in my life.
To have to fight for
everything just to survive.
So don't you fucking
dare talk to me like that
you stupid bitch.
Marnie run!
What are you doing?
I should've done this years ago.
Well I guess it's
a bit too late now.
Don't let me die like that.
Don't let me die
like that Marnie.
She sounded so tortured.
I heard her scream
and die, so scared.
I can't see him anywhere.
I'm going to get us out, okay.
You had a gun.
Sam said so. Why didn't
you use it Marnie?
You have to trust me.
You let that happen Marnie.
You let it happen.
Gonna get us out.
How?
Aly is dead.
That guy Nash. And now Bec...
It's Aly... okay... it's Aly.
Your hearing is
awesome Jasmine...
Can you tell me,
if he's further away
or is he coming closer?
He's moving away. He's
walking away from us.
Aly... Aly... You're ok.
I'm okay, I'm okay.
We don't time, we need to keep
moving. The map's
still shrinking too.
What? Sam mentioned
that. What's shrinking?
The area we can stay in without
being electrocuted is shrinking.
It's pushing us
closer to the center
where I don't know who
has done this to us
is waiting there.
We still think that is Frankie.
Frankie. Of course.
How could you not realize you
were hurting him so badly.
It was just a game
JJ. It wasn't real.
It felt real to him.
Why are you defending him?
Because I'm just like him.
I know how he feels Marnie.
Right now.
We need to. We need to
survive him. Okay, so...
Marnie, he liked you.
You can talk him down,
If anyone could.
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
I just haven't
had lunch since...
Well, it doesn't matter, really.
Gotta keep going okay?
Been thinking about
getting out of these...
The collars don't
shock us randomly, so
they're not being
operated individually.
It's like responding
to some sort of
signal from a central
hub or something.
In theory, a wireless signal
that hits everywhere equally,
all at the same time,
creating a circular field.
So it is centered in
the middle of the map.
Which is where we
found JJ, But I just
don't remember there
being a control room.
I remember hearing him
walking beneath me.
The bottom floor was
directly underneath us.
Shhhh... quiet.
He's coming back...
We need to go.
He's going to get
pushed closer and closer
to us. He's going to
get us eventually.
We fight back.
Getting closer.
You think you can beat him?
I don't have a choice. We
can use what he doesn't know.
We have to go now.
Against the wall,
get against the wall.
Come on girls.
I'm getting real bored of this.
Go go, go through there.
Well, now, that didn't
work out, did it?
You've looked better Marnie.
Hell, I even thought
about fucking
you instead of that slut Bec,
but right now, you
look like shit,
so it'd be like
screwing a dead body.
But I prefer a bit of fight.
You're an animal.
Stay away from us Sam.
You know I can't do that,
and you know the rules.
And you know the rules.
I can persuade Frankie.
Just. Just give me a chance.
It's not him.
And even if it was, he could
have stopped this by now.
You touch her and I'll kill you.
This is a chance for
redemption Marnie.
Finally a chance to
make it all right.
Shut up.
Just surely, surely
you want to tell your
sister the truth
before you both die?
What happened...
Why you are like you are.
Shut up.
Oh
Marnie, Marnie, Marnie.
You blame yourself everything
yet you aren't to blame.
But... there's just one thing
that we both know
that you did do.
What is he talking about Marnie?
Yeah Marnie...
What am I talking about?
Marnie?
Well, JJ,
it goes something like this...
Hey a'hole!
I killed you.
It takes a lot longer to
drown someone in real life.
Than it does in a
stupid fucking game.
Marnie... Marnie come back.
Marnie...
Aly - Wait wait wait wait wait.
Don't do it.
Don't do it.
Why Marnie?
Why shouldn't I? Look
what he's done...
Bec...
Nash...
Thought nothing of
killing you and JJ.
You... you don't have the guts.
You don't want to do this Aly.
That's the thing Marnie.
I really do.
Marnie?
Is he dead?
Yeah.
Good.
You don't mean that.
I do.
I do.
So this is it right?
We won right?
Come on. Whoever you are.
We did it. We won, you
lost you lost, you lost.
We won, we can go home. Right?
No JJ, I'm sorry.
That's not how this works.
But how did you do it in
the game? How does it work?
In the game, there's always
a secret passage to the exit.
The secret passage
to the exit...
The secret passage
to the exit...
It's got to be in the hallway.
It's got to be this way.
Sorry guys.
It's getting closer.
In the game, there's
enough life force
to get us to the
exit but in reality
we have five working legs, an
insulin deprived
diabetic, and...
I know...
I get it.
Sorry JJ.
I just need to go to
the control room, okay?
If I get to the
control room, we can
figure out how
these collars work.
What do we do when
we find Frankie?
How are you going to talk
him out of it Marnie?
I don't know.
Figured it out.
Marnie, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
I didn't mean to...
I shouldn't have yelled at you.
This is all my fault.
No...
This is all my fault.
No, you don't have to blame
yourself for everything.
Sam said that too, but...
What was he talking about?
I need to tell you.
Marnie, now is not the time.
There is no time.
Right now we need to focus
on getting out of here.
Aly, four of us is dead,
and the map is shrinking.
Tell me when the
fucking time is?
The firework...
It was just a prank.
My friends...
okay it was just a prank.
And me and my friends wanted to
just throw it through the window
and hear it go
bang! It wasn't...
The fuse wasn't meant to
take as long as it did.
You weren't meant to walk in.
None of it was meant to happen.
I'm sorry...
Just a prank...
A joke...
I'm sorry.
I lost everyone except for Aly.
They couldn't handle it.
They couldn't handle me.
You did this...
you did this to me.
You did this to me...
No you didn't, no
you didn't Marnie.
No, stop Marnie stop.
Please I'm so sorry JJ.
You broke me.
You took everything.
Everything away from me.
Everything that made me me,
it's all gone, it's all gone.
I'm sorry.
No...
I will never see colours again.
I will never watch
the world go by.
I will never see
Dad's face again.
It's all because of you,
And you're sorry?!
Jasmine, I'm so sorry.
No, Aly. You knew.
You both knew. No one told me.
For two years...
JJ, please don't go. Don't go.
I never want to hear
your voice again.
Don't say that.
Don't say that.
I got to get her -
No Marnie.
I gotta get her.
Marnie! No. No!
Hey, hey, hey.
You're going to find JJ, okay?
You're going to
go get JJ, and I'm
going to go to the control room
and figure out how these
things work and turn them off.
Then take my gun.
I didn't think you
have any bullets left.
One for me and one for JJ.
I couldn't handle her dying
slowly, so I kept them.
That's why you didn't shoot Sam.
I don't think I could.
JJ. I'm so sorry JJ.
JJ...
JJ, are you there?
JJ. Please. Please.
I'm so sorry, please.
Come on JJ. Come out. Come on!
That's the wrong way.
JJ. I'm so sorry.
Is someone there?
Marnie?
Please be Marnie, please.
Call to Marnie.
No.
No.
JJ?
JJ?
I can't see anything.
Just come out.
Just come out if you are here.
Please. Please.
I'm so sorry.
Marnie...
Oh my God...
Marnie, help me, please.
Marnie... Marnie
You're not Frankie.
If you weren't so self-absorbed,
you'd know exactly who I am.
Whatever Frank is paying
you, I'll double it.
You think this is about money?
I'll do anything.
Okay. I'll do anything.
Just let her go.
She didn't do anything wrong.
Neither did my brother.
Who?
Exactly.
All he wanted was for
you to notice him.
She seems nice.
She is.
It's Backlash time.
I'd still love to play
the game with you guys.
You can play one game.
F-Dan the Man inbound people.
Waste of oxygen.
Go kill yourself.
Pathetic loser.
So uploading this, they'll
love it.
Joe pick up.
Stupid Frankie.
Stupid Frankie.
Please pick up.
All he wanted to
do was play a game.
A game!
And you invited him in,
and then you broke him.
I didn't. I didn't know.
Bull crap.
Liar. Liar!
You and your friends
destroyed him
from the safety
of your own homes,
hiding behind your
computer screens,
completely devoid from the
reality of what you say and do.
Would he want you to do this?
I'll never know what he wants.
Frankie.
Frankie.
I'm sorry I missed your call...
but I got your favourite dinner.
Frankie man, you -
I'm so sorry,
Okay, I'm so sorry
that this has happened.
My brother killed
himself because
of you and your vicious friends.
But I need you to let her go.
She didn't have anything to
do with Frankie. That was me.
I'm the guilty one. If you want
to kill someone, you kill me.
Please kill me.
She's done nothing wrong.
Nothing.
She's my little sister.
Please.
Please
kill me.
She's innocent.
So was my brother.
No, no, no, no, no, no, don't -
I'm sorry.
Stay... stay...
Stop. Stop... please.
Stay...
No, no, no, no.
Kidnapping her
wasn't an accident.
She was the lesson.
Now you know how it feels
to lose someone you love.
Someone who's innocent.
I'm gonna fucking kill you.
I'm gonna kill you.
JJ...
please stay with me,
please stay... stay...
I need to go... I need to go.
I have to, I have
to. I'm so sorry...
So you're the little hacker.
Frankie said it was a
smart one in your group.
Makes sense that you're
the last one alive.
You're Joe.
Frankie's brother.
Was.
Were you mean was?
Oh my God.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
So am I.
He's a really good kid.
He didn't deserve this.
I wish I could change it.
We all wish we could change it.
Of course you do,
now that you actually
have to deal with
what you've done
now that you're not hiding
behind the computer screen.
HEY. Hey.
Okay,
look.
You got whatever
it is you wanted
from us when you
brought us here.
Okay?
It's time to let us go...
It's time to let us go.
Okay.
Okay.
I never hurt Frankie. I
never did anything to him.
Exactly.
You did absolutely nothing.
You did nothing to help him,
and you did nothing
to stop them.
And that makes you just
as guilty as they are.
You get what I mean?
Please...
Ex-military intelligence
moved into cyber security,
Silly little girl who thinks
she can hack with the big boys.
Marnie...
She didn't make it.
No one's coming to save you,
I save myself a'hole.
Seriously?
Marnie...
You're supposed to be dead.
I wish.
If this fucking shock collar
wouldn't keep waking me up.
Let her go...
Shoot him, Marnie... Shoot him.
Please,
You killed Jasmine.
We have to get out of here.
No, we can't. The electric field
is getting closer and closer.
We're trapped.
No extra lives, no re
spawns, no reboots.
We can't let him get
away with this Marnie.
We can't let him get away.
We have to try.
We have to try.
No.
If we turn the collars off
we'll live, but so will he.
We've got to finish this.
Please...
No...
Marnie...
When it's done...
when it's done,
I need you to just
press the 'N' key.
I need you to do it, okay.
We can find another way.
Marnie.
Marnie...
You can do this.
No, I'm not.
Marnie...
It's time to let go.
Marnie... go... go.
