Corporate Retreat (2026) Movie Script
1
[tense music playing]
[upbeat rock music playing]
- Hey, pretty baby
-You can't sit down
-Don't you hear
the drummer drummin'?
-Can't sit down
- You gotta shake it
like you're crazy
-You can't sit down
-'Cause the band
is sayin' somethin'
-You can't sit down
-Everybody started jumpin'
-You can't sit down
You gotta slop, bop, slip,
slop, flip, flop all about
You can't sit down
You can't sit down
You gotta move, move, move
Around and 'round
You can't sit down
You can't sit down
What are you reading, babe?
-What are you reading?
-Sorry, what did you say?
What are you reading?
Oh, I have
a final exam on Monday.
Abnormal psychology
is really kicking my ass.
Yeah, but with
an ass like yours,
who needs psychology?
Yeah, I need to study up
so I can protect myself
from weirdos like you.
Yeah, that's right. [growling]
[kissing]
[surf music playing]
[cell phone ringing]
Amanda, hey, everything okay?
What?
Okay, just make sure she's
safe this weekend, all right?
Okay, gotta go.
Can't find Cliff.
Why do you need him?
Okay, but that's it.
No more studying.
We're done.
We're gonna have a nice
romantic getaway, as promised.
So what are we waiting for?
-I'm sure he's on his way.
-Yeah, well,
he better get here soon.
We've gotta resolve this before
the stupid fucking retreat
because apparently
we're not allowed to work
over the next few days.
Guys, can you get on the bus?
We're already behind schedule.
Yeah.
Thank you. Let's go.
Yay!
[yelps] I am so excited
for this retreat.
Right, Omar?
We do this every year
and it always sucks.
Oh, my God.
Stop being such a Debbie Downer.
Okay, now that Arthur's gone,
we don't have to play
any of those weird games
he liked anymore.
And I think it's
going to be amazing.
Deborah,
how are you faring today?
It's like a retreat into hell.
We have to feign
interest in our colleagues.
Oh, I think you're
all very interesting.
[Billie] That right there.
That's the spirit.
Now, everyone,
when you get off of this bus,
I expect you all to smile
and try to enjoy yourselves.
Please?
Okay. I'll take that as a yes.
Oh. I have some friends.
What do you mean "friends?"
You'll see.
Where the fuck were you?
I was busy.
-Yeah?
-Yeah.
Um, hi.
I'm Ginger.
That's really
professional, Cliff.
You're supposed to be
my legal counsel,
not my fucking liability.
[rock song continues]
Where's my fucking bag?
-Done?
-Yeah.
Here you are.
Please grab a pair of shoes.
And I will take
your phone when you're ready.
We will get to that later,
but we are thrilled to have you.
Is this really necessary?
Um, yes. You will find
that it will be
a lovely experience.
-Thank you so much.
-Thank you.
Excuse me.
May I have your phone please?
My pleasure.
Love the color.
I wasn't really
supposed to be here.
Is this necessary for me?
Yes, please join us.
-You're more than welcome.
-Thank you.
Seriously?
You expect me to put this on?
Oh, it is
important for team building.
I'll look like a camp counselor.
-Please don't forget your shoes.
-I'll take that.
Oh just...
It's necessary to disconnect.
I have a kid at home.
It's... it's not happening.
[woman chuckles]
Well, yes, of course.
-Here you are.
-It would really help to...
-Size nine, right?
-Absolutely.
Have a great time.
Thank you so much.
[sighing]
Hello?
-[screams, grunts]
[struggling]
[screaming]
-This better be good.
-It's going to be amazing.
You won't regret it.
I promise.
["Green Onions" playing]
I have a couple other ideas
about how I can
make it up to you.
Are you going
to make it up to me?
One thousand percent.
Wait. Why'd you bring your gun?
We left the city.
This is the wild west.
I want protection.
What? You think you're macho?
I think I'm an American.
And I can carry
whatever the fuck I want.
-Isn't it loaded?
-Of course.
God, I wish you would
leave that in the car.
No. Uh...
I can't kiss you
while you have a loaded gun
in your waistband.
What are you talking about?
There's an element of danger.
It's fucking sexy.
Look at this thing.
Yeah, until
you shoot your dick off.
But maybe you deserve that.
[laughing] Stop it.
Give me that.
Oh, I'm... I'm sorry.
Um, I'm sorry.
I didn't realize
I was interrupting.
[Ginger] No, you're not.
It's really, um...
It's really hot outside.
[Cliff] It's just, yeah,
we've been sweating a lot.
Yeah.
Right.
-Um, Ginger.
-Yeah?
We would love for you to join us
in the activities this weekend.
No, thanks.
We insist.
Let's talk about it.
We're gonna go to our room.
Okay.
Please think about it.
I'll let you know. Thank you.
We're gonna go
cool off some more.
You brought me on
a corporate retreat?
It's okay, baby. Just relax.
How can I fucking relax, Cliff?
Hey, look at this.
Look at this. Come here.
Look at how beautiful you are.
You told me we're
going on a romantic getaway.
And you know what?
Now that I think about it,
it maybe should have been
a little bit more clear.
Yeah, a lot more clear.
Well, I don't really
know what the big deal is.
It's fun.
You can join in on the fun.
Hmm. Yeah, no,
I'm good with my books.
Enjoy your corporate
bonding love fest.
Okay.
Baby, come here.
We're gonna have a great time.
Cliff?
I'm gonna try my best
to enjoy myself,
but I really don't know if
it's gonna work out between us
if you're
not 100% honest with me.
I'm gonna make it up to you.
I promise.
So, how long have
you been dating Cliff?
A few months now.
Hmm.
I know it's weird that I'm here.
It wasn't my idea.
Just, um, Cliff didn't tell me
this was a corporate retreat.
Cliff can be
kind of a loose cannon.
Yeah, I'm finding that out now.
What do you do?
I'm in college,
but I'm hoping to go
to grad school for psychology.
Yeah, I don't know anything
about this business stuff.
I'm more of an academic.
I hear you.
I've got three degrees.
-What, three degrees?
-Yeah.
I've got a master's in business,
a B.A. in botany,
and a Ph.D. in chemistry.
That's so cool.
You must be like a genius.
I just couldn't make up my mind.
It's kind of a men's club
in the company,
so it's nice having
some more feminine energy.
I'm glad you're here.
You think you can
do whatever you want.
Fuck you. She's my girl.
Yeah, well, you need to
inform me of these things, okay?
What are you, like,
trying to make me
look like an asshole?
You guys are fighting
over the stupidest shit.
See, I'm the one
running the company, okay?
You work for me.
Hey, relax, all right?
Let's go meet them outside.
Fuck my life.
[suspenseful tone playing]
Carl's phone.
-Thank you.
-I just really wanted
to have the full experience.
He will.
[gentle music playing]
Mm. Isn't it peaceful here?
Yeah, no one in sight.
A psycho could kill us and
no one would even know about it.
Okay, and let me guess.
I'm the murderer!
Maybe in another life.
It's also hot as fuck out here.
We could die of dehydration.
I actually think it's pretty.
You picked a great spot.
Who are you again?
Hey.
-What?
-Watch it.
All right, everyone.
Let's get started.
What about Deborah?
She wasn't feeling very well.
She's lying down,
and I think we should continue.
Today we will make our way
through a series of experiences
to connect with and open up
each of the seven gateways.
And what are
the seven gateways, Lola?
[Lola] So glad you asked, Amber.
We start with the ground
at the base of the spine.
This energy gateway
connects us to the earth
and represents a new beginning.
This is our first gateway.
We will then go on
to six other gateways
that move us from
the physical realm to the
spiritual.
They travel
upwards along the spine.
Any questions?
So are these
like the seven chakras?
We call them gateways.
It's a bigger concept.
We'll be talking about
it all today and all tomorrow.
We will also be exploring
each of the seven gateways
individually,
so I'm sure you'll catch on.
We start by
meditating on our mats.
Sit cross-legged.
Close your eyes.
And that's it.
Breathe in on the count of four
and breathe out
on the count of eight.
As you breathe,
feel a line of connection
from deep within you,
from the top of the head
and into the earth.
Feel the sun
coming down into you,
through you,
and into the depths of the soil.
[jingling]
[ominous music playing, fades]
Our steam room was custom-made
from the highest quality marble
sourced in Italy.
-Deb's really missing out.
-I kind of like
not having her around.
Is she okay?
She's resting.
This is the second gateway,
the fire.
It's located just below
the belly button
and represents the warmth
in our bodies that give us
vitality and passion.
Accessing this gateway
is a little more challenging.
It might be
uncomfortable at first,
but it's totally worth it.
Okay. See you in a few minutes.
Enjoy.
-That's it?
-Okay.
What the fuck? I...
What... What do we do?
Just enjoy it.
Just sweat it out.
This is some real hippie shit.
[sighing] Fuck.
What the fuck, dude?
Fuck. Is it just me
or is it getting
fucking hot in here.
It's really hot.
You know what?
I've had enough of this shit.
Oh, my God.
-[rattling]
-Yo, what the fuck?
Did they lock the door?
No, I doubt it.
It's probably just
stuck for some reason.
No, it's definitely locked.
It can't be locked.
-[Billie] Okay, well...
-What the fuck?
I'm sure they're probably
just gonna be back any minute.
[mumbling] I don't feel well.
All right, are they
trying to kill us?
'Cause this is fucking insane.
It's a challenge.
It's not supposed to be easy.
Enough with the positivity,
Billie, okay?
It's team bonding.
No, it's not team bonding.
We're all about
to get heat stroke.
Oh, really?
-Ginger.
-Oh! That's gonna be
all of us pretty soon.
-[banging]
-[screaming]
-Help! Let us...
-Oh, my God.
I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
-Everybody out now.
Now, now, now.
-Is everyone out?
Is she okay?
-Oh, my gosh.
-Come on. Come on.
We are so sorry.
That was never
supposed to happen.
So sorry.
Why the hell did
you guys lock us in there?
Uh, sorry. The door
must have malfunctioned.
We apologize profusely.
Please hydrate.
-That's never happened.
-It never happened before.
I really hope the rest of this
weekend goes a little bit more
smoothly, guys.
Any other malfunctioning
doors that we should know about?
No. We have
everything under control.
Do you? Yes.
-We can assure you.
-Yes.
We'll just go and prepare
the next gateway
where you guys
just relax and chill out
and... yeah.
Again, we feel horrible about
what happened, but we
will see you shortly, okay?
-Just enjoy yourselves.
-Thank you.
Really, this is gonna
be a great, great experience.
-We will make it up to you.
We promise.
-Yes.
I'm so sorry.
I need a real drink.
-Fucking Billie, man.
-Some fucking retreat this is.
[Billie] It's not my fault.
-[Cliff] I'm getting a drink.
-It's not her fault.
So fucking creepy.
Look at these babchi plants.
They did not seem sorry at all.
-They did apologize.
-They didn't seem sorry at all.
These were used in
traditional eastern medicine.
Alcohol isn't diuretic,
and we're dehydrated,
so that's a bad idea.
I thrive on bad ideas.
Classic.
Welcome to
the willpower gateway.
The willpower gateway represents
control, motivation,
and discipline.
The sports drinks
you just consumed
contain the bacterium
clostridium botulinum.
What the hell does that mean?
It has a toxin
that causes botulism.
The disease begins with
weakness, fatigue,
blurred vision,
and trouble speaking.
It is followed by a weakness
in the arms, chest, then legs,
vomiting and diarrhea may also
occur,
and eventual death.
But there's no need to worry.
You possess everything
you need to survive.
What kind of fucked
up shit is this, man?
Check the fucking doors, man.
Check the other doors.
Uh, what's up with
the doors in this place?
Hey, watch out.
I'm gonna throw a chair.
[grunting]
[Amber] The windows are all
bulletproof.
But getting out isn't your
biggest concern at the moment.
What, do you want, money?
How much do you want?
We'll give you anything.
-Just let us out.
-We don't want your money.
We want your transcendence.
-These bitches are crazy.
-What the fuck does that mean?
For your journey,
we have a gift.
It is in the kitchen drawer.
Good luck.
-Bye.
-We believe in you.
What is this, an escape room?
-They said the drawers.
-Check the cabinets.
-They said the drawers.
-Fuck, we're gonna die.
We don't know if
we can trust them.
-I don't feel anything.
-Cliff has a point!
Hey, you see any knives?
Could it be hitting me?
I'm starting to
feel a little queasy.
Oh, I got it. I got it.
-It's a syringe.
-Can I see it?
Guys, my body's
starting to feel really tight.
We could just be imagining this.
You're not imagining it.
Everyone, try and
relax and go and sit down.
Go.
-Baby.
-Hmm?
What's going on?
It's not good.
What do you mean?
We've been poisoned.
Very funny.
[clattering]
Ginny, I'm not joking.
I'm so sorry.
[all groaning]
Vinegar.
Salt.
Babchi. Psoralea corylifolia.
We have everything we need.
-What is that?
-This could inhibit
the effects of botulism.
-Uh-huh.
-It's the chemical
structure for an antidote.
We don't have much time.
We're gonna create an antidote
starting with these plants.
Grab the vodka.
Pour all
the vodka into the kettle.
We have to wait
for the liquid to boil.
Okay.
Then take some of the plants.
More.
Okay, that's good.
Grab the others.
Go.
Billie, where exactly did you
find the corporate retreat?
I didn't find it.
-I was cold-emailed by Amber.
-[groaning]
Was that before or after
I asked you to set this up?
It was the same day.
By coincidence.
[groaning]
A coincidence.
That's weird, right?
Look, I don't know, okay?
[grunting in pain]
I just didn't
think anything of it.
Yeah, but
you vetted them, right?
Yes. Yes, like I said.
They were highly reviewed.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Anybody could
fake reviews, Billie.
You talked to somebody, right?
This is a routine thing, okay?
I mean, we have a corporate
retreat all the time.
I'm not the fucking FBI here.
I saw the website,
and it looked legit.
We're a billion-dollar
company, Billie.
We have competitors.
We have regulators.
We have so many people who
would love to see us killed,
and you didn't think to do one
fucking iota of
background research?
Baby, are you okay?
I'm really feeling it.
Jesus.
-Baby, look.
-Hmm?
A way to escape.
Shouldn't we tell the others?
We don't know who to trust.
You guys really think a
competitor would try to kill us?
No.
There's way too much evidence.
There's no way
they'd get away with it.
Could be the regulators.
I mean, think about 9-11.
That's a fucking
conspiracy theory.
-Yeah, but this is a conspiracy.
-How?
Okay, let's think
about this logically, right?
If someone e-mailed Billie
the same day Devin was talking
about planning this trip,
that means that they had
to have access to our
internal e-mail server, right?
That means that
they had to know that
we were planning this, right?
-Oh, my God.
-Holy fuck.
Guys, I don't feel good.
I don't feel good.
This was an inside job.
[groaning] Fuck...
Why isn't there a reaction?
Oh, we need a catalyst.
Does anybody
have any gold jewelry?
Yeah. Yeah.
Here, take mine.
Thanks.
Everyone gather around.
Thank God. There's a reaction.
We need to inject ourselves now.
Ten milliliters each.
Give me your arm.
It's dirty.
No choice.
I don't feel good yet.
It takes a minute.
Teamwork.
Fuck. [retching, moaning]
-[moaning]
-Oh, my God.
-Here.
-No, no, no, no.
You have to do it.
Close your eyes.
I'll do it for you.
Do it now.
[choking]
-He's still breathing.
-Oh, thank God.
-It's really shallow.
-Was it too late?
I don't know.
Good to see you all again.
Arthur?
[ominous music playing]
Arthur, we're not going to play
whatever sick game
you've come up with.
You're wrong.
You might think, hey,
I'm angry with you guys for
betraying me,
for making me lose
every good thing in my life,
but I'm not.
You want to help us?
Get us the fuck out of here.
You will get out of here,
either physically
or spiritually.
This is bullshit.
I see your anger, Cliff.
I had that as well.
I transcended it by
reconnecting to the eternal one.
It's my latest innovation.
That's what this weekend is for.
To finish my journey,
I need your cooperation.
Okay, let's be real, Arthur.
We almost died.
Omar, he may not make it.
So let us out
and we can talk about
these newfound beliefs.
You haven't even heard yet
what I have planned for you.
I'll tell you.
Amber and Lola have done so
well guiding you through the
first three gateways.
The next four are
really my favorite.
Billie, you were
close to Arthur.
What do we do here?
I don't know.
Billie?
How'd you spend the money?
What money?
I gave Billie $50,000.
That money was
from Amber and Lola.
-You took a bribe?
-Not a bribe!
-More like a finder's fee!
-Vo, it was a kickback.
This kind of human squabbling
is exactly what
we're going to overcome.
Who wants to hear
about the next gateway?
I'll tell you anyway.
You'll choose one lucky person
who will leave the human realm
and enter the spiritual.
It'll be a wonderful
team-building experience.
Don't you agree?
What does that mean exactly?
I'm going to let Amber and Lola
explain the details.
I'll see most of you later.
So, what is he saying?
He means, um...
He means we need to
choose someone to kill.
[tense music playing]
Don't fucking move.
What the fuck?
We're not playing this game.
Everyone stop.
Don't say anything.
We'll wait it out.
We gotta get Omar to a hospital.
Please let us
get him to a hospital.
I'm telling you,
no one talk to them.
Don't drink anything.
Don't do anything.
We'll wait it out.
Help will come.
People know we're here.
-Does anyone
actually know where we are?
-No one does.
That was part of
our agreement with Billie.
Right, Billie?
Welcome to the fourth gateway.
The sacrifice.
This energy gateway
is located at the heart.
One of you will sacrifice
his or her own heart
and it will
go into this glass jar.
It's up to you to decide
who gets to be the lucky one.
Don't listen to 'em.
We're not playing
any more games.
Failure to remove someone's
heart
will result in none of
you achieving transcendence.
We don't want to achieve
your fucking transcendence.
We want to get
the fuck out of here right now.
Arthur's got you brainwashed.
Arthur is the one who saved me.
-He made me see the truth.
-Amen.
-What truth?
-The truth he showed us.
You'll see. You'll all soon see.
[screaming ]Holy shit!
You have to
achieve transcendence.
Simple as that.
Speaking of which,
we have some tools
for you to help complete
the task at hand.
The heart must be
intact for this to work.
In order to open
the fourth gateway.
Make sure
you keep it in the jar.
I said shoot in the leg,
not kill them.
This is so upsetting. Lola!
What are thinking?
I got nervous.
This is not
the time for fuck-ups!
Amber, she's
your responsibility.
-You're demoting me?
-We already lost one
outside the ritual.
Deborah's death was unavoidable
because she could have ruined
the whole thing.
But Cliff? That was avoidable.
Cliff was supposed to
be in the last gateway.
-Now what?
-We can still do it.
We'll get back on track.
I promise.
I'm counting on you, Amber.
Lola...
-Be careful.
-What am I supposed to do now?
You should have thought
of that before you got nervous.
What we're doing
here is serious business.
This is a path to salvation.
The destiny of myself,
yourselves,
and this group tied together.
I have the same goal.
I just haven't
reached this level yet.
Just give me another chance.
How could he do this to me?
Don't doubt yourself.
Arthur says doubt
is the enemy of reason.
Doubt weakens us.
You don't want
to be weak, do you?
-No.
-No.
Arthur never doubted himself
as a businessman and visionary.
He helped pioneer early online
payment services,
helped build
software for drones,
and even developed microchips.
Do you think if Arthur ever
doubted himself,
he would have
ever accomplished those things?
Yeah, but we met Arthur at
the NA meetings
when he was really, really out.
Yeah, yeah.
But that's where
he took us under his wing.
Right? That's where he showed us
the beauty that he's seen
in his spiritual evolution
is what he wants for us.
What if Arthur's wrong?
Arthur's never wrong.
And you know that. Yeah.
-Yeah.
-You're right. Sorry.
How do we choose?
Well, I think
the choice is obvious.
If we don't get Omar to
a hospital ASAP, he's gonna die.
What's stopping Arthur
from killing us all.
We're all fucked,
and it's all my fault!
[sobbing] It's all my fault!
There's gotta be a reason why
he hasn't killed us all already.
I mean,
he's had the opportunity.
He did try to kill us.
Yeah, but he gave us
clues for the antidote.
If we can get in his head,
maybe we can figure out
a way out of here.
They just shot Cliff.
Like, Arthur's a madman.
We've known that shit
since we kicked his ass
out of the company.
Right?
What we need to do is
just cut up his body with these.
Have you done this before?
No, but I've seen enough people
get shot
and get their wounds
plugged in combat.
We don't gotta be perfect,
we just gotta keep
the heart intact.
We don't have anything to...
Wait, wait,
what if he can feel it?
I'm sure he can't
feel a thing, Ginger.
I mean,
he's probably unconscious.
Maybe we should kill him first.
Alright. Who's gonna do it?
-Billie, you're doing it.
-Me?
-Yeah.
-No, no, no, no.
I'm not good with blood.
I can't do it.
Well, you're responsible
for all of us, so fuck it.
-Do it.
-Yeah.
-Now.
-Fine! Ugh!
God.
Okay.
I'm just gonna,
like, slit his throat.
Cut the right artery right
there, it's the quickest way.
Do it on the count of three.
-Okay.
-[Billie] Okay. God.
One.
Two.
Three.
[gasps]
What is everybody doing?
-[Billie screams]
-Oh!
[groaning]
[intense music playing]
[Billie screaming]
[grunting]
-[grunting]
-[squelching]
[bone crunching]
-[crunching]
-[grunts]
Ah.
[grunts]
[squelching]
Gimme it. Gimme the jar.
-[clapping]
-Here.
Here's your heart,
you sick fuck!
[Amber]
Alright, everybody get in line!
I said get the fuck in line!
Truly, when Omar woke up,
I wasn't sure you'd be able to
go through with it,
but I was so worried!
And I'm really impressed!
Decisive action,
quick thinking on your feet.
Having a plan and
sticking to it, what I always
tried to instill in you.
And my blockchain, had
we persisted, would have worked!
Instead, you caved to
investors and threw me out!
But that's all in the past!
You're growing so much.
Proving to me that you're
trying to better yourselves.
But we're not done yet.
Right, ladies,
tell them what's next!
Welcome to the fifth gateway.
The laughter, located
at the center of the neck.
When I lost my company,
I was so angry.
Bitter.
But laughter is
the best medicine.
I truly learned
to laugh at myself
and everything around me,
and it opened up
the spiritual floodgates.
I was at my lowest
when I began to appreciate
that there are things in life
more important
than money and success.
We have to surrender to
a power greater than ourselves.
I am guiding us
to the higher power.
I'm the only one who can
deliver us to righteousness.
I'm the only one
who can bring us to the light.
Right, ladies?
Beautifully said.
We believe.
[laughing]
[continues laughing]
[laughing loudly]
[both laughing]
And that's why we're going
to hold a laughing contest!
Each one of you will be given
the opportunity to laugh,
and it must be a true laugh,
and it must be hearty.
A yay means you truly laughed,
a nay means you're faking it.
It's quite brilliant.
Yeah, what happens
if it's a nay, Arthur?
Failure to pass the test results
and the head being separated
from the body.
Which isn't
necessarily a bad thing.
I'm so excited!
With whom do we start?
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.
Catch a tiger by the toe.
If he hollers, let him go.
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.
Aubrey, you're the first to go.
-[clapping]
-[chime sounds]
[Arthur] Do you
like the lighting?
It's for dramatic effect.
-Genius.
-Arthur, this is
your masterpiece.
Enough. Let the games begin!
What do I do exactly?
[mocking] What do I do exactly?
Laugh! Now!
-Go?
-Yes!
[laughing flatly]
Stop.
I said laugh for real,
and it has to be hearty.
[laughing]
You're almost there.
Gotta be real.
That's enough. You can stop.
That's enough. Thank you.
Now we vote.
Lola, yay or nay?
Yay.
Amber?
Yay.
It's a yay!
Congratulations, Aubrey!
You've passed the fifth gateway.
[whimpering]
Don't be sad. You get to live.
Alright.
Have a seat on the bench.
Eenie, meenie, miney, moe,
catch a tiger by the toe.
If he hollers, let him go.
Eenie, meenie, miney, moe.
Carl.
You're up. Please.
I'm gonna count down from five.
If you don't start laughing,
your head's coming off.
Kitser Investment.
-Due diligence report
found you unstable.
-Five.
You were institutionalized
in your early 20s.
Four.
All of us here, top management,
we voted to kick your ass out.
And we're doing
better than ever.
Three.
You could've never
led us to where we are today.
Two.
You motherfucker.
[laughing]
[laughing]
I'm voting nay.
I don't know, Arthur. I'm sorry.
He was really laughing.
I vote yay.
Don't apologize.
Embrace your inner truth.
It's the only way.
I agree. Yay.
Carl.
Take a seat next to Aubrey.
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.
Catch a tiger by the toe.
If he hollers, let him go.
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.
Your name, I don't know.
You weren't supposed to be here.
I wasn't,
so I should probably leave.
Nonsense. You're here now.
It must be fate.
-What's your name?
-Ginger.
Ginger, would you kindly step
into the spotlight for a minute?
You're really
embracing the process.
You don't look scared.
You don't scare me,
you sick fuck.
[chuckles] This one's brave.
I admire that.
But can she laugh?
You have until
the count of five.
[laughs]
[laughing heartily]
Impressive.
But is she really laughing?
It looks like she is.
I don't know.
Is it just some parlor trick?
That's enough, Ginger.
[sighs]
Go ahead. Go ahead, vote.
-Ladies?
-Yay.
I'm sorry, but I think
that was just some bullshit.
She just pulled
it out of her ass.
I vote nay.
Interesting.
I'm the deciding vote.
-I laughed.
I did what you told me to.
-How do I know it was real?
Because I was
laughing at you, not with you.
You're a fucking joke.
This whole place is a sick joke.
-You're a clown.
-Nobody talks to me like that.
Yeah, well, I do, so fuck you.
You think you're spiritually
enlightened,
so stop cheating, then.
I laughed for real.
I vote...
yay.
You won't be so
lucky next time, Ginger.
Look, I'm happy.
I'm happy for
everyone in this room.
Now it's down to Devin,
my former COO,
and Billie, my former HR.
You'll never get
away with this, Arthur.
Eeny, meeny, miny, mo...
[muttering]
Devin, you're up.
-I'm not doing this.
-Oh, yes, you are.
I'm not laughing.
I can see that.
I'm calling bullshit.
-Amber?
-Yes?
Would you please
shoot Devin in the leg?
God damn it! Ah!
[laughing]
Will you laugh now?
[laughing]
That's what
I call method acting.
[laughing]
[coughing]
I give a yay.
Me too.
I vote yes as well.
Devin, please take
a seat on the bench.
And now, Billie,
please step into the spotlight
and please spare us the bullshit
or you'll get a bullet
in the leg too.
Are you going to laugh, Billie?
Billie, you know the assignment.
-Yes.
-Just make it easier
on all of us.
Just laugh.
I'm scared.
That's a natural part
of the process, Billie.
I don't want to die.
[exhales] Okay.
Billie, I'm going to
give you to the count of three.
One.
Two.
[sobbing]
Three.
This is really for the best.
Ladies?
No. Please.
Please. Please.
I don't want to die.
Please allow me to do this.
No, he can't
afford any more fuck-ups.
I don't want to die.
Please, I'll do it again.
Please. [screams]
[people yelp]
[spurting]
Sweetie, get back.
Hey.
I got a treat.
[laughing]
Yeah.
I got a treat. Oh, yeah.
Oh, good boy. Good boy.
You got to be careful out here.
There's things that'll get you.
You don't have
the natural instincts for it.
Daddy's got to watch
the cameras again,
so come back inside.
No?
You want to play fetch first?
Okay.
Where's the stick?
Where's the stick?
Go get a stick. Go get a stick.
[man groaning]
Has to be a way out of here.
Yeah. Fucking body bags.
God help us.
Doubt we're looking too good
in his eyes.
What? You mean Arthur?
No. Us.
Not after what we did.
You did what you had to,
Carl, all right?
Don't lose
your fucking nerve now.
-You know what, Devin?
-What?
-Fuck you, man.
-Really?
-Yeah, fuck you.
-Really?
-You motherfucker.
-[arguing indistinctly]
I don't know what
you're fucking doing.
Stop.
I need to tell
you guys something.
Okay. Listen.
There's a gun on the rooftop.
Cliff's keys are in his pocket.
Somehow we have to get to them.
-What the fuck?
-Then we can get out of here.
We can ambush them.
Next time they come in,
there's four of us.
There's two of them.
-Yeah, but they have guns.
-Yeah, but we have
to element a surprise.
We can break one of the cameras.
Right, the one
facing the hallway door.
They'll come in to investigate.
-Then we strike.
-Don't you think they'll see us?
We're gonna break all
the furniture,
throw it, misplace it.
They won't
realize what we're doing.
Pretend to throw
a temper tantrum, okay?
Like this.
Like this.
Motherfuckers.
[grunting]
[yelling]
Break all your plants,
motherfuckers!
[grunting]
[groaning]
Suck my dick!
-Fucker!
-[smashing]
Push the couch
against the bookshelves.
Come on, come on.
[men] One, two, three.
Make sure it's stable.
Make sure it's steady.
Aubrey, you're the lightest,
get up.
Get that shit.
Okay. There you go.
Rip that shit off.
Okay, come down. Come down.
-Let's go, let's go, let's go.
-Grab weapons.
Okay, okay.
Okay, come on.
[rock music playing]
I told him this was a dead end.
But does he listen?
-Never.
-Live a little?
Thankfully
you all were home.
There's nothing for miles.
Well, you know, if you just take
that down and go left,
you should get back
on the main highway.
Wow, this place is beautiful.
-It's a canola.
-No way, it must cost a fortune.
-Is it for sale?
-No, it's not.
Everybody has a price.
-Help!
-[all yelling]
[muffled yelling]
Oh, my God,
do they need our help?
-My God, Martha!
-[squelching]
[gasping]
-[thuds]
-Tourists.
We'll burn 'em later.
[beeping]
One of the feeds are down.
What are they doing?
Wait.
Shh.
[whispering] Okay...
[shushing]
[suspenseful music playing]
Oh, guys.
I see what you're doing.
And I totally understand
how frustrated you must feel.
But please be patient.
There is no escaping here.
Okay?
Wow! You've all been very busy.
I can't say as I'm a fan
of the redecoration,
but maybe it'll grow on me.
Welcome to the sixth gateway.
The truth gateway.
Located in the third eye.
In order to achieve
transcendence,
you must see the truth
in all things,
beginning with
the truth within you.
Arthur.
This is between you and me.
Leave the others alone.
I'll sign
the company back over to you.
That's what
you really want, right?
What I want is so much
more than the company.
I really do
understand how you feel.
I stole the company
from you, basically.
Right? We cut you out.
And you lost everything.
I even heard
your wife left you, Arthur.
I ruined your life.
So please, allow me to correct
this situation
and give you back the company.
You didn't ruin my life.
You freed me.
And I want the same for you
all.
Arthur, three people are dead.
Four, actually.
Deborah passed away at
1:02 p.m. this afternoon.
Cause of death,
accidental strangulation.
But none of those
deaths were in vain.
And I don't want
anybody else to die.
This is about
spiritual enlightenment.
I love you all.
You don't love us.
You're torturing us to death,
you psychopathic freak.
Psychopath? [laughs]
Maybe.
Freak?
Perhaps.
Am I doing what is right?
Yes, I am.
People said I was crazy when
I foresaw the internet
as a place
for peer-to-peer payments.
And when
I built unmanned drones.
And don't get me started on
the development of blockchain.
Tomorrow's leaders
were crazy yesterday.
And I am guided
by divine spirits.
Wait, but if you're so
spiritually enlightened
then why are you taking out
your anger by torturing us?
I'm not torturing you.
Yes, you are.
And you're as angry as it gets.
I'm not fucking angry!
Oh my God. Look.
Guys, look.
Look how angry Arthur is.
You're angry.
-How dare you!
-You know what I think?
I think you should go
on this gateway with us.
I don't think you've accepted
the truth about yourself yet.
You're right.
I am angry.
Thank you, Ginger, for
allowing me to see the truth.
And I will join you in this
sixth gateway
to show that I believe
in this process.
I am not a hypocrite.
Jesus Christ.
-He's coming here right now?
-It's the only way
we have to get out of here.
You just let
them lion into the den.
You can't kill
someone who isn't here.
[Amber] You don't need
to do this, Arthur.
They're goading you.
I haven't finished
my spiritual training.
I haven't yet
reached transcendence.
But what if they hurt you?
See you soon.
[beeps]
[energetic classical music
playing]
-He's coming.
-I think it's kind of exciting.
The final
two gateways are upon us.
I'm so excited.
I won't let you down, I promise.
I think he's here.
He's here.
Shh.
[groans]
[music continues]
[music stops]
Welcome to the sixth
and penultimate gateway,
the third eye.
In order to see truly,
we must first unsee
what has bound us.
The eyes.
The deceivers.
We must shed them,
liberate them,
so that the third eye
can awaken fully.
Only then can we truly see.
Only then can we let
the third eye emerge
and bathe in the infinite.
Line up.
Line up now.
Each of us will self-perform
a traumatic enucleation.
What is that, you wonder?
I'm glad you asked.
It is the forcible removal or
loss of the eye
due to an injury or trauma.
And that is why
I have this spoon.
We will use this spoon
to gouge our left eyes.
I will go first.
If I should fail to succeed
in removing the globe
or detaching it from the socket,
you must shoot me in the head.
Are you sure?
[Arthur] Yes, I'm sure.
How dare you question me?
-You're right.
I'm so sorry.
-Amber...
I will go now.
[exhales]
[tense music playing]
[squelching]
Oh!
[screams]
[whimpering]
Ow! I will truly see
for the first time.
I will truly see
for the first time.
Oh! Oh!
Ow!
I feel it. I feel it opening.
Release me, divine being.
And give me the third eye vision
that I fought for
my entire life.
Ooh.
-[screams]
-[snaps]
I can see it now.
Oh!
I can see the promised land!
Oh!
I can describe it.
I can see it very well.
A mountain the size of
Mount Everest
made up of naked virgins.
They're lying on
top of each other.
[moaning]
Everyone will be liberated.
[groaning]
Oh!
Lola. Take my eyeball.
Okay, thank you.
Oh!
Oh.
It's wonderful.
Oh!
Oh!
[sighs]
If thine eye offend thee,
pluck it out
and cast it from thee.
Who wants to join
me in the promised land?
I said,
who wants to join me
in the promised land?
You disgusting, despicable,
pampered little shitheads.
I'll choose who goes next.
Should it be Devin,
my backstabbing former
second-in-command?
Or Carl,
the rough kid
turned an accountant?
Or poor, poor Aubrey,
the genius
chief operating officer
with a heart of gold
and a vagina of cowardice?
Or the mysterious Ginger,
who fucked her way
into my company
and thinks she's a fucking hero?
I'll tell you who the fucking
hero is, Ginger.
It's the honorable,
the great, the holy,
the mastermind
that is Arthur Scott.
I choose Carl.
I'm not doing this shit.
Take that spoon and
do what needs to be done.
Godspeed.
I can't.
Ah.
Okay.
I'll give you one minute.
-[squelching]
-Ah!
[grunting]
Ah!
[groaning]
Ah!
My vision is blurry!
All you gotta do
is pull it out, Carl.
I can't.
You have 30 seconds.
Pull it out and be free.
I can't.
Somebody else has to do it.
You have to do this.
You've got 20 seconds.
This is... Ah!
[screams]
[whimpering] This is so fucked.
Ten seconds, Carl.
Five. Four. Three. Two.
-[grunts]
-Yay!
Well done!
Everybody applaud!
Clap enthusiastically!
God damn it!
Well done! Well done.
Man, I'm fucking good.
Devin, my boy.
You're next.
That's right.
Step into the center.
You ready?
You're sick. You need help.
If thy eye offends thee,
pluck it out
and cast it from thee.
Stop quoting the fucking Bible.
You've got 30 seconds.
What?
You gave Carl 60.
But you're resisting
the spiritual enlightenment.
Time starts now.
Uh...
[groans]
Ah!
Ah!
[screams]
Ugh!
[screaming]
[yelling]
15 seconds.
I can't get it out!
-[screaming]
-10 seconds.
-Five. Four. Three. Two.
-[screaming]
Ah!
Congratulations, Devin!
I'm proud of you.
Ah.
Ah. Uh-huh.
Oh. Oh.
Aubrey.
You're up.
Come on. Step into
the center of the room.
Don't be a party pooper.
Lola. Amber.
Are you gonna be okay?
Aubrey, you have 20
seconds, starting now.
15 seconds.
I can't. I can't.
I can't.
-I can't...
-Ten seconds.
You babbling fool.
Please. Please. My hand.
It's shaking too much.
-I can't.
-Five.
Four.
Three.
Two.
[clattering]
Zero.
Please just give
me another chance.
-Please. Please.
-Poor Aubrey.
[sobbing]
No, no. Please. Please.
-Don't. Don't.
-Amber, please.
No, no, no. Please.
Please. I can do it.
Don't. Please.
[yelps]
Ginger.
You know what to do.
You've got ten seconds.
Sounds good to me.
[squelching]
[screaming]
[sobbing]
Ah!
[Arthur] Wow.
Can you see the promised land?
Absolutely.
Describe it to me.
Naked virgins.
The hundreds of thousands
piled up on one another
the size of Mount Everest.
Very good.
Very good.
Here, Lola, keep them separate.
All right. Very good.
Now on to the seventh
and final gateway, the crown.
This is the antenna where
we receive divine guidance from
the Eternal One.
In order to keep
our antenna open,
we have to do this.
May I have the box, please?
Would you, uh, want to
guess what's inside the box?
How are we supposed to know?
Huh.
Ah.
I know that this was passed
around the company before
I was ousted.
It was extremely hurtful.
Uh, I felt betrayed,
embarrassed,
castrated.
The seventh and final gateway
will unite each of us in
transcendence.
Okay.
I know that you guys stuck a lot
of pins in my voodoo doll,
so that's what
we're going to do.
Each of us is going to stick
seven needles into ourselves.
One in each thigh,
one in the gut, one in each
shoulder, and one in each ear.
And the needle must go deep
enough to cover the white part.
And Lola, Amber,
shoot us if we don't finish.
If we do this,
do we reach transcendence?
Yes.
And we could go home?
Yes, you can leave.
Could I survive this?
The choice is yours.
God damn it!
What is this proving, Arthur?
The proof is in the pudding.
[Carl screaming]
[grunting] Fuck!
It needs to be deeper.
Arthur, I don't know where
you found that voodoo doll,
but it's a silly joke.
It's not serious.
It wasn't serious.
It was serious.
It was the greatest thing
that ever happened to me.
Because it made me realize
why I am on the planet.
To liberate and be liberated.
Speaking of which,
Carl, the shoulders?
I can't.
I can't.
No.
[grunting]
[panting]
[groaning]
Deeper.
[screaming]
Oh, Carl, you're almost there.
Just two more needles.
One in each ear,
and then you're out of here.
-[Devin] It's going to kill him.
-Oh, who cares how
he achieves transcendence,
as long as he does.
He's doing so well.
[screaming]
I can't hear!
You did it!
Carl is the first of us
to reach transcendence.
He didn't reach anything.
He's dead, Arthur.
I have given Carl
the gift of enlightenment.
And now, Devin, I'm going
to give you the same gift.
-I'm not doing it.
-Oh, you've come this far.
Don't disappoint.
I'd rather die quickly
than torture myself to death.
Are you certain?
Yeah.
You're absolutely
positive, 100 percent?
You don't want
to be enlightened?
I'm completely
100 percent positive.
Well, I'm sorry
to hear that, Devin.
-Do what you must.
-Wait, wait, wait. Wait.
I want to say one thing.
Too bad.
[sighs]
Ginger!
Get any closer and I'll
shoot your fucking brains out.
I just want to talk.
Can I?
You may approach me.
I want to hold
the voodoo doll before I go.
Thank you. Um...
I have a confession to make.
I'm the one
who made this voodoo doll.
Cliff brought it to work,
but it was my idea.
I'm the creator.
Why would you do that to me?
It was wrong.
I was wrong. We were all wrong.
You should have never been
ousted from the company
that you built.
You would have led
the company brilliantly.
You're a genius.
They all should
have listened to you.
You were right all along.
I feel your pain.
And I'm very, very sorry.
You are the greatest CEO
in the history of mankind.
Now, before
I reach transcendence,
I'm feeling the presence
of the Eternal One.
In my repentance, I must pray
at the highest level possible.
How do you want to do that?
I want to go to the rooftop.
I must go to the rooftop
before I go through
the seventh gateway.
I like that.
Let's all go to the roof!
Let's kneel and pray.
Arthur, can I pray with you?
Okay, let's kneel.
Ahem.
Divine Being,
you who pile hundreds
and thousands of virgins
on a mountain
the size of Mount Everest,
deliver us to the eternal realm.
May we have sex with every
virgin in this mountain,
blonde, brunette,
tall, short, slender, big-boned.
May they be holy and
a blessing to humanity.
May they be open
to all kinds of sex,
vaginal, anal...
Oral?
Oral, um,
spiritual, transcendental.
May there be
plenty of lube available.
May they only have
one eye to see upon.
Then the ending of the world
will come
and we shall all have
sex in space.
Oh!
Shoot and I blow his brains out.
Don't move.
I thought we were
going on this journey together.
Any journey we're
going on is to hell.
Oh, that's a shame.
I saw such promise in you.
[Ginger screams]
[continues firing]
Shit, I'm out of ammo.
Where is she?
Fuck.
[suspenseful music playing]
Arthur said the physical world
is just a threshold to
something bigger.
He's free now.
He's been rewarded.
-And so will we.
-Yeah.
[chains rattling softly]
[screams]
Oh...
[keys jangling]
[door opening]
[gun fire]
Fuck.
[gun clicking]
-Fuck me.
-Looks like
you're out of bullets.
-Yeah, no shit.
-Arthur's vision
doesn't end here.
You helped him ascend.
Now I'm going to help you too.
-[banging]
-Oh, shit!
[grunting]
Arthur's truth lives on.
[panting]
[gunshot]
[blood spurting]
This is the worst corporate
retreat I've ever been on.
[engine starts]
[moody pop song playing]
You're just too good
to be true
Can't take my eyes
off of you
You'd be like
Heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last
love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good
to be true
Can't take my
eyes off of you
Pardon the way that I stare
There's nothin' else
to compare
The sight of you
leaves me weak
There are no
words left to speak
But if you feel like I feel
Please let
me know that it's real
You're just too good to be
true
Can't take my eyes off
of you
I love you, baby
And if it's quite alright
I need you, baby
To warm the lonely night
I love you, baby
Trust in me when I say
Oh, pretty baby
Don't bring me down, I pray
Oh, pretty baby
Now that I've found you stay
And let me love you, baby
Let me love you
You're just too good
to be true
Can't take my eyes
off of you
You'd be like
Heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last
love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good
to be true
Can't take my
eyes off of you
I love you, baby
And if it's quite alright
I need you, baby
To warm the lonely night
I love you, baby
Trust in me when I say
Oh, pretty baby
Don't bring me down, I pray
Oh, pretty baby
Now that I've found you stay
And let me love you, baby
Let me love you
[tense music playing]
[tense music playing]
[upbeat rock music playing]
- Hey, pretty baby
-You can't sit down
-Don't you hear
the drummer drummin'?
-Can't sit down
- You gotta shake it
like you're crazy
-You can't sit down
-'Cause the band
is sayin' somethin'
-You can't sit down
-Everybody started jumpin'
-You can't sit down
You gotta slop, bop, slip,
slop, flip, flop all about
You can't sit down
You can't sit down
You gotta move, move, move
Around and 'round
You can't sit down
You can't sit down
What are you reading, babe?
-What are you reading?
-Sorry, what did you say?
What are you reading?
Oh, I have
a final exam on Monday.
Abnormal psychology
is really kicking my ass.
Yeah, but with
an ass like yours,
who needs psychology?
Yeah, I need to study up
so I can protect myself
from weirdos like you.
Yeah, that's right. [growling]
[kissing]
[surf music playing]
[cell phone ringing]
Amanda, hey, everything okay?
What?
Okay, just make sure she's
safe this weekend, all right?
Okay, gotta go.
Can't find Cliff.
Why do you need him?
Okay, but that's it.
No more studying.
We're done.
We're gonna have a nice
romantic getaway, as promised.
So what are we waiting for?
-I'm sure he's on his way.
-Yeah, well,
he better get here soon.
We've gotta resolve this before
the stupid fucking retreat
because apparently
we're not allowed to work
over the next few days.
Guys, can you get on the bus?
We're already behind schedule.
Yeah.
Thank you. Let's go.
Yay!
[yelps] I am so excited
for this retreat.
Right, Omar?
We do this every year
and it always sucks.
Oh, my God.
Stop being such a Debbie Downer.
Okay, now that Arthur's gone,
we don't have to play
any of those weird games
he liked anymore.
And I think it's
going to be amazing.
Deborah,
how are you faring today?
It's like a retreat into hell.
We have to feign
interest in our colleagues.
Oh, I think you're
all very interesting.
[Billie] That right there.
That's the spirit.
Now, everyone,
when you get off of this bus,
I expect you all to smile
and try to enjoy yourselves.
Please?
Okay. I'll take that as a yes.
Oh. I have some friends.
What do you mean "friends?"
You'll see.
Where the fuck were you?
I was busy.
-Yeah?
-Yeah.
Um, hi.
I'm Ginger.
That's really
professional, Cliff.
You're supposed to be
my legal counsel,
not my fucking liability.
[rock song continues]
Where's my fucking bag?
-Done?
-Yeah.
Here you are.
Please grab a pair of shoes.
And I will take
your phone when you're ready.
We will get to that later,
but we are thrilled to have you.
Is this really necessary?
Um, yes. You will find
that it will be
a lovely experience.
-Thank you so much.
-Thank you.
Excuse me.
May I have your phone please?
My pleasure.
Love the color.
I wasn't really
supposed to be here.
Is this necessary for me?
Yes, please join us.
-You're more than welcome.
-Thank you.
Seriously?
You expect me to put this on?
Oh, it is
important for team building.
I'll look like a camp counselor.
-Please don't forget your shoes.
-I'll take that.
Oh just...
It's necessary to disconnect.
I have a kid at home.
It's... it's not happening.
[woman chuckles]
Well, yes, of course.
-Here you are.
-It would really help to...
-Size nine, right?
-Absolutely.
Have a great time.
Thank you so much.
[sighing]
Hello?
-[screams, grunts]
[struggling]
[screaming]
-This better be good.
-It's going to be amazing.
You won't regret it.
I promise.
["Green Onions" playing]
I have a couple other ideas
about how I can
make it up to you.
Are you going
to make it up to me?
One thousand percent.
Wait. Why'd you bring your gun?
We left the city.
This is the wild west.
I want protection.
What? You think you're macho?
I think I'm an American.
And I can carry
whatever the fuck I want.
-Isn't it loaded?
-Of course.
God, I wish you would
leave that in the car.
No. Uh...
I can't kiss you
while you have a loaded gun
in your waistband.
What are you talking about?
There's an element of danger.
It's fucking sexy.
Look at this thing.
Yeah, until
you shoot your dick off.
But maybe you deserve that.
[laughing] Stop it.
Give me that.
Oh, I'm... I'm sorry.
Um, I'm sorry.
I didn't realize
I was interrupting.
[Ginger] No, you're not.
It's really, um...
It's really hot outside.
[Cliff] It's just, yeah,
we've been sweating a lot.
Yeah.
Right.
-Um, Ginger.
-Yeah?
We would love for you to join us
in the activities this weekend.
No, thanks.
We insist.
Let's talk about it.
We're gonna go to our room.
Okay.
Please think about it.
I'll let you know. Thank you.
We're gonna go
cool off some more.
You brought me on
a corporate retreat?
It's okay, baby. Just relax.
How can I fucking relax, Cliff?
Hey, look at this.
Look at this. Come here.
Look at how beautiful you are.
You told me we're
going on a romantic getaway.
And you know what?
Now that I think about it,
it maybe should have been
a little bit more clear.
Yeah, a lot more clear.
Well, I don't really
know what the big deal is.
It's fun.
You can join in on the fun.
Hmm. Yeah, no,
I'm good with my books.
Enjoy your corporate
bonding love fest.
Okay.
Baby, come here.
We're gonna have a great time.
Cliff?
I'm gonna try my best
to enjoy myself,
but I really don't know if
it's gonna work out between us
if you're
not 100% honest with me.
I'm gonna make it up to you.
I promise.
So, how long have
you been dating Cliff?
A few months now.
Hmm.
I know it's weird that I'm here.
It wasn't my idea.
Just, um, Cliff didn't tell me
this was a corporate retreat.
Cliff can be
kind of a loose cannon.
Yeah, I'm finding that out now.
What do you do?
I'm in college,
but I'm hoping to go
to grad school for psychology.
Yeah, I don't know anything
about this business stuff.
I'm more of an academic.
I hear you.
I've got three degrees.
-What, three degrees?
-Yeah.
I've got a master's in business,
a B.A. in botany,
and a Ph.D. in chemistry.
That's so cool.
You must be like a genius.
I just couldn't make up my mind.
It's kind of a men's club
in the company,
so it's nice having
some more feminine energy.
I'm glad you're here.
You think you can
do whatever you want.
Fuck you. She's my girl.
Yeah, well, you need to
inform me of these things, okay?
What are you, like,
trying to make me
look like an asshole?
You guys are fighting
over the stupidest shit.
See, I'm the one
running the company, okay?
You work for me.
Hey, relax, all right?
Let's go meet them outside.
Fuck my life.
[suspenseful tone playing]
Carl's phone.
-Thank you.
-I just really wanted
to have the full experience.
He will.
[gentle music playing]
Mm. Isn't it peaceful here?
Yeah, no one in sight.
A psycho could kill us and
no one would even know about it.
Okay, and let me guess.
I'm the murderer!
Maybe in another life.
It's also hot as fuck out here.
We could die of dehydration.
I actually think it's pretty.
You picked a great spot.
Who are you again?
Hey.
-What?
-Watch it.
All right, everyone.
Let's get started.
What about Deborah?
She wasn't feeling very well.
She's lying down,
and I think we should continue.
Today we will make our way
through a series of experiences
to connect with and open up
each of the seven gateways.
And what are
the seven gateways, Lola?
[Lola] So glad you asked, Amber.
We start with the ground
at the base of the spine.
This energy gateway
connects us to the earth
and represents a new beginning.
This is our first gateway.
We will then go on
to six other gateways
that move us from
the physical realm to the
spiritual.
They travel
upwards along the spine.
Any questions?
So are these
like the seven chakras?
We call them gateways.
It's a bigger concept.
We'll be talking about
it all today and all tomorrow.
We will also be exploring
each of the seven gateways
individually,
so I'm sure you'll catch on.
We start by
meditating on our mats.
Sit cross-legged.
Close your eyes.
And that's it.
Breathe in on the count of four
and breathe out
on the count of eight.
As you breathe,
feel a line of connection
from deep within you,
from the top of the head
and into the earth.
Feel the sun
coming down into you,
through you,
and into the depths of the soil.
[jingling]
[ominous music playing, fades]
Our steam room was custom-made
from the highest quality marble
sourced in Italy.
-Deb's really missing out.
-I kind of like
not having her around.
Is she okay?
She's resting.
This is the second gateway,
the fire.
It's located just below
the belly button
and represents the warmth
in our bodies that give us
vitality and passion.
Accessing this gateway
is a little more challenging.
It might be
uncomfortable at first,
but it's totally worth it.
Okay. See you in a few minutes.
Enjoy.
-That's it?
-Okay.
What the fuck? I...
What... What do we do?
Just enjoy it.
Just sweat it out.
This is some real hippie shit.
[sighing] Fuck.
What the fuck, dude?
Fuck. Is it just me
or is it getting
fucking hot in here.
It's really hot.
You know what?
I've had enough of this shit.
Oh, my God.
-[rattling]
-Yo, what the fuck?
Did they lock the door?
No, I doubt it.
It's probably just
stuck for some reason.
No, it's definitely locked.
It can't be locked.
-[Billie] Okay, well...
-What the fuck?
I'm sure they're probably
just gonna be back any minute.
[mumbling] I don't feel well.
All right, are they
trying to kill us?
'Cause this is fucking insane.
It's a challenge.
It's not supposed to be easy.
Enough with the positivity,
Billie, okay?
It's team bonding.
No, it's not team bonding.
We're all about
to get heat stroke.
Oh, really?
-Ginger.
-Oh! That's gonna be
all of us pretty soon.
-[banging]
-[screaming]
-Help! Let us...
-Oh, my God.
I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
-Everybody out now.
Now, now, now.
-Is everyone out?
Is she okay?
-Oh, my gosh.
-Come on. Come on.
We are so sorry.
That was never
supposed to happen.
So sorry.
Why the hell did
you guys lock us in there?
Uh, sorry. The door
must have malfunctioned.
We apologize profusely.
Please hydrate.
-That's never happened.
-It never happened before.
I really hope the rest of this
weekend goes a little bit more
smoothly, guys.
Any other malfunctioning
doors that we should know about?
No. We have
everything under control.
Do you? Yes.
-We can assure you.
-Yes.
We'll just go and prepare
the next gateway
where you guys
just relax and chill out
and... yeah.
Again, we feel horrible about
what happened, but we
will see you shortly, okay?
-Just enjoy yourselves.
-Thank you.
Really, this is gonna
be a great, great experience.
-We will make it up to you.
We promise.
-Yes.
I'm so sorry.
I need a real drink.
-Fucking Billie, man.
-Some fucking retreat this is.
[Billie] It's not my fault.
-[Cliff] I'm getting a drink.
-It's not her fault.
So fucking creepy.
Look at these babchi plants.
They did not seem sorry at all.
-They did apologize.
-They didn't seem sorry at all.
These were used in
traditional eastern medicine.
Alcohol isn't diuretic,
and we're dehydrated,
so that's a bad idea.
I thrive on bad ideas.
Classic.
Welcome to
the willpower gateway.
The willpower gateway represents
control, motivation,
and discipline.
The sports drinks
you just consumed
contain the bacterium
clostridium botulinum.
What the hell does that mean?
It has a toxin
that causes botulism.
The disease begins with
weakness, fatigue,
blurred vision,
and trouble speaking.
It is followed by a weakness
in the arms, chest, then legs,
vomiting and diarrhea may also
occur,
and eventual death.
But there's no need to worry.
You possess everything
you need to survive.
What kind of fucked
up shit is this, man?
Check the fucking doors, man.
Check the other doors.
Uh, what's up with
the doors in this place?
Hey, watch out.
I'm gonna throw a chair.
[grunting]
[Amber] The windows are all
bulletproof.
But getting out isn't your
biggest concern at the moment.
What, do you want, money?
How much do you want?
We'll give you anything.
-Just let us out.
-We don't want your money.
We want your transcendence.
-These bitches are crazy.
-What the fuck does that mean?
For your journey,
we have a gift.
It is in the kitchen drawer.
Good luck.
-Bye.
-We believe in you.
What is this, an escape room?
-They said the drawers.
-Check the cabinets.
-They said the drawers.
-Fuck, we're gonna die.
We don't know if
we can trust them.
-I don't feel anything.
-Cliff has a point!
Hey, you see any knives?
Could it be hitting me?
I'm starting to
feel a little queasy.
Oh, I got it. I got it.
-It's a syringe.
-Can I see it?
Guys, my body's
starting to feel really tight.
We could just be imagining this.
You're not imagining it.
Everyone, try and
relax and go and sit down.
Go.
-Baby.
-Hmm?
What's going on?
It's not good.
What do you mean?
We've been poisoned.
Very funny.
[clattering]
Ginny, I'm not joking.
I'm so sorry.
[all groaning]
Vinegar.
Salt.
Babchi. Psoralea corylifolia.
We have everything we need.
-What is that?
-This could inhibit
the effects of botulism.
-Uh-huh.
-It's the chemical
structure for an antidote.
We don't have much time.
We're gonna create an antidote
starting with these plants.
Grab the vodka.
Pour all
the vodka into the kettle.
We have to wait
for the liquid to boil.
Okay.
Then take some of the plants.
More.
Okay, that's good.
Grab the others.
Go.
Billie, where exactly did you
find the corporate retreat?
I didn't find it.
-I was cold-emailed by Amber.
-[groaning]
Was that before or after
I asked you to set this up?
It was the same day.
By coincidence.
[groaning]
A coincidence.
That's weird, right?
Look, I don't know, okay?
[grunting in pain]
I just didn't
think anything of it.
Yeah, but
you vetted them, right?
Yes. Yes, like I said.
They were highly reviewed.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Anybody could
fake reviews, Billie.
You talked to somebody, right?
This is a routine thing, okay?
I mean, we have a corporate
retreat all the time.
I'm not the fucking FBI here.
I saw the website,
and it looked legit.
We're a billion-dollar
company, Billie.
We have competitors.
We have regulators.
We have so many people who
would love to see us killed,
and you didn't think to do one
fucking iota of
background research?
Baby, are you okay?
I'm really feeling it.
Jesus.
-Baby, look.
-Hmm?
A way to escape.
Shouldn't we tell the others?
We don't know who to trust.
You guys really think a
competitor would try to kill us?
No.
There's way too much evidence.
There's no way
they'd get away with it.
Could be the regulators.
I mean, think about 9-11.
That's a fucking
conspiracy theory.
-Yeah, but this is a conspiracy.
-How?
Okay, let's think
about this logically, right?
If someone e-mailed Billie
the same day Devin was talking
about planning this trip,
that means that they had
to have access to our
internal e-mail server, right?
That means that
they had to know that
we were planning this, right?
-Oh, my God.
-Holy fuck.
Guys, I don't feel good.
I don't feel good.
This was an inside job.
[groaning] Fuck...
Why isn't there a reaction?
Oh, we need a catalyst.
Does anybody
have any gold jewelry?
Yeah. Yeah.
Here, take mine.
Thanks.
Everyone gather around.
Thank God. There's a reaction.
We need to inject ourselves now.
Ten milliliters each.
Give me your arm.
It's dirty.
No choice.
I don't feel good yet.
It takes a minute.
Teamwork.
Fuck. [retching, moaning]
-[moaning]
-Oh, my God.
-Here.
-No, no, no, no.
You have to do it.
Close your eyes.
I'll do it for you.
Do it now.
[choking]
-He's still breathing.
-Oh, thank God.
-It's really shallow.
-Was it too late?
I don't know.
Good to see you all again.
Arthur?
[ominous music playing]
Arthur, we're not going to play
whatever sick game
you've come up with.
You're wrong.
You might think, hey,
I'm angry with you guys for
betraying me,
for making me lose
every good thing in my life,
but I'm not.
You want to help us?
Get us the fuck out of here.
You will get out of here,
either physically
or spiritually.
This is bullshit.
I see your anger, Cliff.
I had that as well.
I transcended it by
reconnecting to the eternal one.
It's my latest innovation.
That's what this weekend is for.
To finish my journey,
I need your cooperation.
Okay, let's be real, Arthur.
We almost died.
Omar, he may not make it.
So let us out
and we can talk about
these newfound beliefs.
You haven't even heard yet
what I have planned for you.
I'll tell you.
Amber and Lola have done so
well guiding you through the
first three gateways.
The next four are
really my favorite.
Billie, you were
close to Arthur.
What do we do here?
I don't know.
Billie?
How'd you spend the money?
What money?
I gave Billie $50,000.
That money was
from Amber and Lola.
-You took a bribe?
-Not a bribe!
-More like a finder's fee!
-Vo, it was a kickback.
This kind of human squabbling
is exactly what
we're going to overcome.
Who wants to hear
about the next gateway?
I'll tell you anyway.
You'll choose one lucky person
who will leave the human realm
and enter the spiritual.
It'll be a wonderful
team-building experience.
Don't you agree?
What does that mean exactly?
I'm going to let Amber and Lola
explain the details.
I'll see most of you later.
So, what is he saying?
He means, um...
He means we need to
choose someone to kill.
[tense music playing]
Don't fucking move.
What the fuck?
We're not playing this game.
Everyone stop.
Don't say anything.
We'll wait it out.
We gotta get Omar to a hospital.
Please let us
get him to a hospital.
I'm telling you,
no one talk to them.
Don't drink anything.
Don't do anything.
We'll wait it out.
Help will come.
People know we're here.
-Does anyone
actually know where we are?
-No one does.
That was part of
our agreement with Billie.
Right, Billie?
Welcome to the fourth gateway.
The sacrifice.
This energy gateway
is located at the heart.
One of you will sacrifice
his or her own heart
and it will
go into this glass jar.
It's up to you to decide
who gets to be the lucky one.
Don't listen to 'em.
We're not playing
any more games.
Failure to remove someone's
heart
will result in none of
you achieving transcendence.
We don't want to achieve
your fucking transcendence.
We want to get
the fuck out of here right now.
Arthur's got you brainwashed.
Arthur is the one who saved me.
-He made me see the truth.
-Amen.
-What truth?
-The truth he showed us.
You'll see. You'll all soon see.
[screaming ]Holy shit!
You have to
achieve transcendence.
Simple as that.
Speaking of which,
we have some tools
for you to help complete
the task at hand.
The heart must be
intact for this to work.
In order to open
the fourth gateway.
Make sure
you keep it in the jar.
I said shoot in the leg,
not kill them.
This is so upsetting. Lola!
What are thinking?
I got nervous.
This is not
the time for fuck-ups!
Amber, she's
your responsibility.
-You're demoting me?
-We already lost one
outside the ritual.
Deborah's death was unavoidable
because she could have ruined
the whole thing.
But Cliff? That was avoidable.
Cliff was supposed to
be in the last gateway.
-Now what?
-We can still do it.
We'll get back on track.
I promise.
I'm counting on you, Amber.
Lola...
-Be careful.
-What am I supposed to do now?
You should have thought
of that before you got nervous.
What we're doing
here is serious business.
This is a path to salvation.
The destiny of myself,
yourselves,
and this group tied together.
I have the same goal.
I just haven't
reached this level yet.
Just give me another chance.
How could he do this to me?
Don't doubt yourself.
Arthur says doubt
is the enemy of reason.
Doubt weakens us.
You don't want
to be weak, do you?
-No.
-No.
Arthur never doubted himself
as a businessman and visionary.
He helped pioneer early online
payment services,
helped build
software for drones,
and even developed microchips.
Do you think if Arthur ever
doubted himself,
he would have
ever accomplished those things?
Yeah, but we met Arthur at
the NA meetings
when he was really, really out.
Yeah, yeah.
But that's where
he took us under his wing.
Right? That's where he showed us
the beauty that he's seen
in his spiritual evolution
is what he wants for us.
What if Arthur's wrong?
Arthur's never wrong.
And you know that. Yeah.
-Yeah.
-You're right. Sorry.
How do we choose?
Well, I think
the choice is obvious.
If we don't get Omar to
a hospital ASAP, he's gonna die.
What's stopping Arthur
from killing us all.
We're all fucked,
and it's all my fault!
[sobbing] It's all my fault!
There's gotta be a reason why
he hasn't killed us all already.
I mean,
he's had the opportunity.
He did try to kill us.
Yeah, but he gave us
clues for the antidote.
If we can get in his head,
maybe we can figure out
a way out of here.
They just shot Cliff.
Like, Arthur's a madman.
We've known that shit
since we kicked his ass
out of the company.
Right?
What we need to do is
just cut up his body with these.
Have you done this before?
No, but I've seen enough people
get shot
and get their wounds
plugged in combat.
We don't gotta be perfect,
we just gotta keep
the heart intact.
We don't have anything to...
Wait, wait,
what if he can feel it?
I'm sure he can't
feel a thing, Ginger.
I mean,
he's probably unconscious.
Maybe we should kill him first.
Alright. Who's gonna do it?
-Billie, you're doing it.
-Me?
-Yeah.
-No, no, no, no.
I'm not good with blood.
I can't do it.
Well, you're responsible
for all of us, so fuck it.
-Do it.
-Yeah.
-Now.
-Fine! Ugh!
God.
Okay.
I'm just gonna,
like, slit his throat.
Cut the right artery right
there, it's the quickest way.
Do it on the count of three.
-Okay.
-[Billie] Okay. God.
One.
Two.
Three.
[gasps]
What is everybody doing?
-[Billie screams]
-Oh!
[groaning]
[intense music playing]
[Billie screaming]
[grunting]
-[grunting]
-[squelching]
[bone crunching]
-[crunching]
-[grunts]
Ah.
[grunts]
[squelching]
Gimme it. Gimme the jar.
-[clapping]
-Here.
Here's your heart,
you sick fuck!
[Amber]
Alright, everybody get in line!
I said get the fuck in line!
Truly, when Omar woke up,
I wasn't sure you'd be able to
go through with it,
but I was so worried!
And I'm really impressed!
Decisive action,
quick thinking on your feet.
Having a plan and
sticking to it, what I always
tried to instill in you.
And my blockchain, had
we persisted, would have worked!
Instead, you caved to
investors and threw me out!
But that's all in the past!
You're growing so much.
Proving to me that you're
trying to better yourselves.
But we're not done yet.
Right, ladies,
tell them what's next!
Welcome to the fifth gateway.
The laughter, located
at the center of the neck.
When I lost my company,
I was so angry.
Bitter.
But laughter is
the best medicine.
I truly learned
to laugh at myself
and everything around me,
and it opened up
the spiritual floodgates.
I was at my lowest
when I began to appreciate
that there are things in life
more important
than money and success.
We have to surrender to
a power greater than ourselves.
I am guiding us
to the higher power.
I'm the only one who can
deliver us to righteousness.
I'm the only one
who can bring us to the light.
Right, ladies?
Beautifully said.
We believe.
[laughing]
[continues laughing]
[laughing loudly]
[both laughing]
And that's why we're going
to hold a laughing contest!
Each one of you will be given
the opportunity to laugh,
and it must be a true laugh,
and it must be hearty.
A yay means you truly laughed,
a nay means you're faking it.
It's quite brilliant.
Yeah, what happens
if it's a nay, Arthur?
Failure to pass the test results
and the head being separated
from the body.
Which isn't
necessarily a bad thing.
I'm so excited!
With whom do we start?
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.
Catch a tiger by the toe.
If he hollers, let him go.
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.
Aubrey, you're the first to go.
-[clapping]
-[chime sounds]
[Arthur] Do you
like the lighting?
It's for dramatic effect.
-Genius.
-Arthur, this is
your masterpiece.
Enough. Let the games begin!
What do I do exactly?
[mocking] What do I do exactly?
Laugh! Now!
-Go?
-Yes!
[laughing flatly]
Stop.
I said laugh for real,
and it has to be hearty.
[laughing]
You're almost there.
Gotta be real.
That's enough. You can stop.
That's enough. Thank you.
Now we vote.
Lola, yay or nay?
Yay.
Amber?
Yay.
It's a yay!
Congratulations, Aubrey!
You've passed the fifth gateway.
[whimpering]
Don't be sad. You get to live.
Alright.
Have a seat on the bench.
Eenie, meenie, miney, moe,
catch a tiger by the toe.
If he hollers, let him go.
Eenie, meenie, miney, moe.
Carl.
You're up. Please.
I'm gonna count down from five.
If you don't start laughing,
your head's coming off.
Kitser Investment.
-Due diligence report
found you unstable.
-Five.
You were institutionalized
in your early 20s.
Four.
All of us here, top management,
we voted to kick your ass out.
And we're doing
better than ever.
Three.
You could've never
led us to where we are today.
Two.
You motherfucker.
[laughing]
[laughing]
I'm voting nay.
I don't know, Arthur. I'm sorry.
He was really laughing.
I vote yay.
Don't apologize.
Embrace your inner truth.
It's the only way.
I agree. Yay.
Carl.
Take a seat next to Aubrey.
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.
Catch a tiger by the toe.
If he hollers, let him go.
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.
Your name, I don't know.
You weren't supposed to be here.
I wasn't,
so I should probably leave.
Nonsense. You're here now.
It must be fate.
-What's your name?
-Ginger.
Ginger, would you kindly step
into the spotlight for a minute?
You're really
embracing the process.
You don't look scared.
You don't scare me,
you sick fuck.
[chuckles] This one's brave.
I admire that.
But can she laugh?
You have until
the count of five.
[laughs]
[laughing heartily]
Impressive.
But is she really laughing?
It looks like she is.
I don't know.
Is it just some parlor trick?
That's enough, Ginger.
[sighs]
Go ahead. Go ahead, vote.
-Ladies?
-Yay.
I'm sorry, but I think
that was just some bullshit.
She just pulled
it out of her ass.
I vote nay.
Interesting.
I'm the deciding vote.
-I laughed.
I did what you told me to.
-How do I know it was real?
Because I was
laughing at you, not with you.
You're a fucking joke.
This whole place is a sick joke.
-You're a clown.
-Nobody talks to me like that.
Yeah, well, I do, so fuck you.
You think you're spiritually
enlightened,
so stop cheating, then.
I laughed for real.
I vote...
yay.
You won't be so
lucky next time, Ginger.
Look, I'm happy.
I'm happy for
everyone in this room.
Now it's down to Devin,
my former COO,
and Billie, my former HR.
You'll never get
away with this, Arthur.
Eeny, meeny, miny, mo...
[muttering]
Devin, you're up.
-I'm not doing this.
-Oh, yes, you are.
I'm not laughing.
I can see that.
I'm calling bullshit.
-Amber?
-Yes?
Would you please
shoot Devin in the leg?
God damn it! Ah!
[laughing]
Will you laugh now?
[laughing]
That's what
I call method acting.
[laughing]
[coughing]
I give a yay.
Me too.
I vote yes as well.
Devin, please take
a seat on the bench.
And now, Billie,
please step into the spotlight
and please spare us the bullshit
or you'll get a bullet
in the leg too.
Are you going to laugh, Billie?
Billie, you know the assignment.
-Yes.
-Just make it easier
on all of us.
Just laugh.
I'm scared.
That's a natural part
of the process, Billie.
I don't want to die.
[exhales] Okay.
Billie, I'm going to
give you to the count of three.
One.
Two.
[sobbing]
Three.
This is really for the best.
Ladies?
No. Please.
Please. Please.
I don't want to die.
Please allow me to do this.
No, he can't
afford any more fuck-ups.
I don't want to die.
Please, I'll do it again.
Please. [screams]
[people yelp]
[spurting]
Sweetie, get back.
Hey.
I got a treat.
[laughing]
Yeah.
I got a treat. Oh, yeah.
Oh, good boy. Good boy.
You got to be careful out here.
There's things that'll get you.
You don't have
the natural instincts for it.
Daddy's got to watch
the cameras again,
so come back inside.
No?
You want to play fetch first?
Okay.
Where's the stick?
Where's the stick?
Go get a stick. Go get a stick.
[man groaning]
Has to be a way out of here.
Yeah. Fucking body bags.
God help us.
Doubt we're looking too good
in his eyes.
What? You mean Arthur?
No. Us.
Not after what we did.
You did what you had to,
Carl, all right?
Don't lose
your fucking nerve now.
-You know what, Devin?
-What?
-Fuck you, man.
-Really?
-Yeah, fuck you.
-Really?
-You motherfucker.
-[arguing indistinctly]
I don't know what
you're fucking doing.
Stop.
I need to tell
you guys something.
Okay. Listen.
There's a gun on the rooftop.
Cliff's keys are in his pocket.
Somehow we have to get to them.
-What the fuck?
-Then we can get out of here.
We can ambush them.
Next time they come in,
there's four of us.
There's two of them.
-Yeah, but they have guns.
-Yeah, but we have
to element a surprise.
We can break one of the cameras.
Right, the one
facing the hallway door.
They'll come in to investigate.
-Then we strike.
-Don't you think they'll see us?
We're gonna break all
the furniture,
throw it, misplace it.
They won't
realize what we're doing.
Pretend to throw
a temper tantrum, okay?
Like this.
Like this.
Motherfuckers.
[grunting]
[yelling]
Break all your plants,
motherfuckers!
[grunting]
[groaning]
Suck my dick!
-Fucker!
-[smashing]
Push the couch
against the bookshelves.
Come on, come on.
[men] One, two, three.
Make sure it's stable.
Make sure it's steady.
Aubrey, you're the lightest,
get up.
Get that shit.
Okay. There you go.
Rip that shit off.
Okay, come down. Come down.
-Let's go, let's go, let's go.
-Grab weapons.
Okay, okay.
Okay, come on.
[rock music playing]
I told him this was a dead end.
But does he listen?
-Never.
-Live a little?
Thankfully
you all were home.
There's nothing for miles.
Well, you know, if you just take
that down and go left,
you should get back
on the main highway.
Wow, this place is beautiful.
-It's a canola.
-No way, it must cost a fortune.
-Is it for sale?
-No, it's not.
Everybody has a price.
-Help!
-[all yelling]
[muffled yelling]
Oh, my God,
do they need our help?
-My God, Martha!
-[squelching]
[gasping]
-[thuds]
-Tourists.
We'll burn 'em later.
[beeping]
One of the feeds are down.
What are they doing?
Wait.
Shh.
[whispering] Okay...
[shushing]
[suspenseful music playing]
Oh, guys.
I see what you're doing.
And I totally understand
how frustrated you must feel.
But please be patient.
There is no escaping here.
Okay?
Wow! You've all been very busy.
I can't say as I'm a fan
of the redecoration,
but maybe it'll grow on me.
Welcome to the sixth gateway.
The truth gateway.
Located in the third eye.
In order to achieve
transcendence,
you must see the truth
in all things,
beginning with
the truth within you.
Arthur.
This is between you and me.
Leave the others alone.
I'll sign
the company back over to you.
That's what
you really want, right?
What I want is so much
more than the company.
I really do
understand how you feel.
I stole the company
from you, basically.
Right? We cut you out.
And you lost everything.
I even heard
your wife left you, Arthur.
I ruined your life.
So please, allow me to correct
this situation
and give you back the company.
You didn't ruin my life.
You freed me.
And I want the same for you
all.
Arthur, three people are dead.
Four, actually.
Deborah passed away at
1:02 p.m. this afternoon.
Cause of death,
accidental strangulation.
But none of those
deaths were in vain.
And I don't want
anybody else to die.
This is about
spiritual enlightenment.
I love you all.
You don't love us.
You're torturing us to death,
you psychopathic freak.
Psychopath? [laughs]
Maybe.
Freak?
Perhaps.
Am I doing what is right?
Yes, I am.
People said I was crazy when
I foresaw the internet
as a place
for peer-to-peer payments.
And when
I built unmanned drones.
And don't get me started on
the development of blockchain.
Tomorrow's leaders
were crazy yesterday.
And I am guided
by divine spirits.
Wait, but if you're so
spiritually enlightened
then why are you taking out
your anger by torturing us?
I'm not torturing you.
Yes, you are.
And you're as angry as it gets.
I'm not fucking angry!
Oh my God. Look.
Guys, look.
Look how angry Arthur is.
You're angry.
-How dare you!
-You know what I think?
I think you should go
on this gateway with us.
I don't think you've accepted
the truth about yourself yet.
You're right.
I am angry.
Thank you, Ginger, for
allowing me to see the truth.
And I will join you in this
sixth gateway
to show that I believe
in this process.
I am not a hypocrite.
Jesus Christ.
-He's coming here right now?
-It's the only way
we have to get out of here.
You just let
them lion into the den.
You can't kill
someone who isn't here.
[Amber] You don't need
to do this, Arthur.
They're goading you.
I haven't finished
my spiritual training.
I haven't yet
reached transcendence.
But what if they hurt you?
See you soon.
[beeps]
[energetic classical music
playing]
-He's coming.
-I think it's kind of exciting.
The final
two gateways are upon us.
I'm so excited.
I won't let you down, I promise.
I think he's here.
He's here.
Shh.
[groans]
[music continues]
[music stops]
Welcome to the sixth
and penultimate gateway,
the third eye.
In order to see truly,
we must first unsee
what has bound us.
The eyes.
The deceivers.
We must shed them,
liberate them,
so that the third eye
can awaken fully.
Only then can we truly see.
Only then can we let
the third eye emerge
and bathe in the infinite.
Line up.
Line up now.
Each of us will self-perform
a traumatic enucleation.
What is that, you wonder?
I'm glad you asked.
It is the forcible removal or
loss of the eye
due to an injury or trauma.
And that is why
I have this spoon.
We will use this spoon
to gouge our left eyes.
I will go first.
If I should fail to succeed
in removing the globe
or detaching it from the socket,
you must shoot me in the head.
Are you sure?
[Arthur] Yes, I'm sure.
How dare you question me?
-You're right.
I'm so sorry.
-Amber...
I will go now.
[exhales]
[tense music playing]
[squelching]
Oh!
[screams]
[whimpering]
Ow! I will truly see
for the first time.
I will truly see
for the first time.
Oh! Oh!
Ow!
I feel it. I feel it opening.
Release me, divine being.
And give me the third eye vision
that I fought for
my entire life.
Ooh.
-[screams]
-[snaps]
I can see it now.
Oh!
I can see the promised land!
Oh!
I can describe it.
I can see it very well.
A mountain the size of
Mount Everest
made up of naked virgins.
They're lying on
top of each other.
[moaning]
Everyone will be liberated.
[groaning]
Oh!
Lola. Take my eyeball.
Okay, thank you.
Oh!
Oh.
It's wonderful.
Oh!
Oh!
[sighs]
If thine eye offend thee,
pluck it out
and cast it from thee.
Who wants to join
me in the promised land?
I said,
who wants to join me
in the promised land?
You disgusting, despicable,
pampered little shitheads.
I'll choose who goes next.
Should it be Devin,
my backstabbing former
second-in-command?
Or Carl,
the rough kid
turned an accountant?
Or poor, poor Aubrey,
the genius
chief operating officer
with a heart of gold
and a vagina of cowardice?
Or the mysterious Ginger,
who fucked her way
into my company
and thinks she's a fucking hero?
I'll tell you who the fucking
hero is, Ginger.
It's the honorable,
the great, the holy,
the mastermind
that is Arthur Scott.
I choose Carl.
I'm not doing this shit.
Take that spoon and
do what needs to be done.
Godspeed.
I can't.
Ah.
Okay.
I'll give you one minute.
-[squelching]
-Ah!
[grunting]
Ah!
[groaning]
Ah!
My vision is blurry!
All you gotta do
is pull it out, Carl.
I can't.
You have 30 seconds.
Pull it out and be free.
I can't.
Somebody else has to do it.
You have to do this.
You've got 20 seconds.
This is... Ah!
[screams]
[whimpering] This is so fucked.
Ten seconds, Carl.
Five. Four. Three. Two.
-[grunts]
-Yay!
Well done!
Everybody applaud!
Clap enthusiastically!
God damn it!
Well done! Well done.
Man, I'm fucking good.
Devin, my boy.
You're next.
That's right.
Step into the center.
You ready?
You're sick. You need help.
If thy eye offends thee,
pluck it out
and cast it from thee.
Stop quoting the fucking Bible.
You've got 30 seconds.
What?
You gave Carl 60.
But you're resisting
the spiritual enlightenment.
Time starts now.
Uh...
[groans]
Ah!
Ah!
[screams]
Ugh!
[screaming]
[yelling]
15 seconds.
I can't get it out!
-[screaming]
-10 seconds.
-Five. Four. Three. Two.
-[screaming]
Ah!
Congratulations, Devin!
I'm proud of you.
Ah.
Ah. Uh-huh.
Oh. Oh.
Aubrey.
You're up.
Come on. Step into
the center of the room.
Don't be a party pooper.
Lola. Amber.
Are you gonna be okay?
Aubrey, you have 20
seconds, starting now.
15 seconds.
I can't. I can't.
I can't.
-I can't...
-Ten seconds.
You babbling fool.
Please. Please. My hand.
It's shaking too much.
-I can't.
-Five.
Four.
Three.
Two.
[clattering]
Zero.
Please just give
me another chance.
-Please. Please.
-Poor Aubrey.
[sobbing]
No, no. Please. Please.
-Don't. Don't.
-Amber, please.
No, no, no. Please.
Please. I can do it.
Don't. Please.
[yelps]
Ginger.
You know what to do.
You've got ten seconds.
Sounds good to me.
[squelching]
[screaming]
[sobbing]
Ah!
[Arthur] Wow.
Can you see the promised land?
Absolutely.
Describe it to me.
Naked virgins.
The hundreds of thousands
piled up on one another
the size of Mount Everest.
Very good.
Very good.
Here, Lola, keep them separate.
All right. Very good.
Now on to the seventh
and final gateway, the crown.
This is the antenna where
we receive divine guidance from
the Eternal One.
In order to keep
our antenna open,
we have to do this.
May I have the box, please?
Would you, uh, want to
guess what's inside the box?
How are we supposed to know?
Huh.
Ah.
I know that this was passed
around the company before
I was ousted.
It was extremely hurtful.
Uh, I felt betrayed,
embarrassed,
castrated.
The seventh and final gateway
will unite each of us in
transcendence.
Okay.
I know that you guys stuck a lot
of pins in my voodoo doll,
so that's what
we're going to do.
Each of us is going to stick
seven needles into ourselves.
One in each thigh,
one in the gut, one in each
shoulder, and one in each ear.
And the needle must go deep
enough to cover the white part.
And Lola, Amber,
shoot us if we don't finish.
If we do this,
do we reach transcendence?
Yes.
And we could go home?
Yes, you can leave.
Could I survive this?
The choice is yours.
God damn it!
What is this proving, Arthur?
The proof is in the pudding.
[Carl screaming]
[grunting] Fuck!
It needs to be deeper.
Arthur, I don't know where
you found that voodoo doll,
but it's a silly joke.
It's not serious.
It wasn't serious.
It was serious.
It was the greatest thing
that ever happened to me.
Because it made me realize
why I am on the planet.
To liberate and be liberated.
Speaking of which,
Carl, the shoulders?
I can't.
I can't.
No.
[grunting]
[panting]
[groaning]
Deeper.
[screaming]
Oh, Carl, you're almost there.
Just two more needles.
One in each ear,
and then you're out of here.
-[Devin] It's going to kill him.
-Oh, who cares how
he achieves transcendence,
as long as he does.
He's doing so well.
[screaming]
I can't hear!
You did it!
Carl is the first of us
to reach transcendence.
He didn't reach anything.
He's dead, Arthur.
I have given Carl
the gift of enlightenment.
And now, Devin, I'm going
to give you the same gift.
-I'm not doing it.
-Oh, you've come this far.
Don't disappoint.
I'd rather die quickly
than torture myself to death.
Are you certain?
Yeah.
You're absolutely
positive, 100 percent?
You don't want
to be enlightened?
I'm completely
100 percent positive.
Well, I'm sorry
to hear that, Devin.
-Do what you must.
-Wait, wait, wait. Wait.
I want to say one thing.
Too bad.
[sighs]
Ginger!
Get any closer and I'll
shoot your fucking brains out.
I just want to talk.
Can I?
You may approach me.
I want to hold
the voodoo doll before I go.
Thank you. Um...
I have a confession to make.
I'm the one
who made this voodoo doll.
Cliff brought it to work,
but it was my idea.
I'm the creator.
Why would you do that to me?
It was wrong.
I was wrong. We were all wrong.
You should have never been
ousted from the company
that you built.
You would have led
the company brilliantly.
You're a genius.
They all should
have listened to you.
You were right all along.
I feel your pain.
And I'm very, very sorry.
You are the greatest CEO
in the history of mankind.
Now, before
I reach transcendence,
I'm feeling the presence
of the Eternal One.
In my repentance, I must pray
at the highest level possible.
How do you want to do that?
I want to go to the rooftop.
I must go to the rooftop
before I go through
the seventh gateway.
I like that.
Let's all go to the roof!
Let's kneel and pray.
Arthur, can I pray with you?
Okay, let's kneel.
Ahem.
Divine Being,
you who pile hundreds
and thousands of virgins
on a mountain
the size of Mount Everest,
deliver us to the eternal realm.
May we have sex with every
virgin in this mountain,
blonde, brunette,
tall, short, slender, big-boned.
May they be holy and
a blessing to humanity.
May they be open
to all kinds of sex,
vaginal, anal...
Oral?
Oral, um,
spiritual, transcendental.
May there be
plenty of lube available.
May they only have
one eye to see upon.
Then the ending of the world
will come
and we shall all have
sex in space.
Oh!
Shoot and I blow his brains out.
Don't move.
I thought we were
going on this journey together.
Any journey we're
going on is to hell.
Oh, that's a shame.
I saw such promise in you.
[Ginger screams]
[continues firing]
Shit, I'm out of ammo.
Where is she?
Fuck.
[suspenseful music playing]
Arthur said the physical world
is just a threshold to
something bigger.
He's free now.
He's been rewarded.
-And so will we.
-Yeah.
[chains rattling softly]
[screams]
Oh...
[keys jangling]
[door opening]
[gun fire]
Fuck.
[gun clicking]
-Fuck me.
-Looks like
you're out of bullets.
-Yeah, no shit.
-Arthur's vision
doesn't end here.
You helped him ascend.
Now I'm going to help you too.
-[banging]
-Oh, shit!
[grunting]
Arthur's truth lives on.
[panting]
[gunshot]
[blood spurting]
This is the worst corporate
retreat I've ever been on.
[engine starts]
[moody pop song playing]
You're just too good
to be true
Can't take my eyes
off of you
You'd be like
Heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last
love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good
to be true
Can't take my
eyes off of you
Pardon the way that I stare
There's nothin' else
to compare
The sight of you
leaves me weak
There are no
words left to speak
But if you feel like I feel
Please let
me know that it's real
You're just too good to be
true
Can't take my eyes off
of you
I love you, baby
And if it's quite alright
I need you, baby
To warm the lonely night
I love you, baby
Trust in me when I say
Oh, pretty baby
Don't bring me down, I pray
Oh, pretty baby
Now that I've found you stay
And let me love you, baby
Let me love you
You're just too good
to be true
Can't take my eyes
off of you
You'd be like
Heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last
love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good
to be true
Can't take my
eyes off of you
I love you, baby
And if it's quite alright
I need you, baby
To warm the lonely night
I love you, baby
Trust in me when I say
Oh, pretty baby
Don't bring me down, I pray
Oh, pretty baby
Now that I've found you stay
And let me love you, baby
Let me love you
[tense music playing]
