Quota
[LIGHTER CLICKING]
Hey, Tina!
[LIGHTER CLICKING]
You said one cigarette.
I'm done. Relax.
He said heads will roll
if we didn't get
everything done tonight.
Woah.
I thought you was giving
up on them caffeine pills.
Because they weren't working.
But I raided Gus's stash.
He's got the good stuff.
I don't get you guys.
Killing yourself for a company that
[CRASH SOUNDS]
[RAT SQUEAKING]
- I thought I saw one.
- Oh God, you and your rats.
It's out of control.
I filed a complaint.
As long as them suckers
ain't nibbling on product,
corporate doesn't care.
[FAINT CHRISTMAS MUSIC]
You okay there, grandpa?
What are you doing?
Nothing.
Come on. We've wasted enough time.
Let's get to it.
So, grandpa, huh?
Okay, let's see you
keep up with this old timer.
You're too soft with your team.
You think you're still one of them,
but you're not.
You're their boss.
I'm tough when they need it.
Look, our competitors
are eating our lunch.
If we want to compete with
their one click, 24-hour delivery,
idle workers cost us
$10.5 million last year.
I can do what needs to be done.
I hope so, because if you
don't exceed quota tonight,
my hands are tied when
it comes to your bonus.
What?
Daniel, you said my bonus
was guaranteed after 90 days.
The bank will foreclose
on our house if I can't
I'm really sorry.
I really am.
We changed company policy.
Christmas bonuses
are for exceeding quota.
Fine.
I can get the team to
stop taking smoke breaks.
If you could, you would've already.
Well, I know DKL locks
their employees in.
We could just do that.
Yeah. That's a great idea.
Wait, what?
I'm going to set it to this
door code on my way out.
Uh, you won't need it,
but keep it here just in case.
Okay, hold on.
I was just joking, Daniel.
We're not seriously saying we're
locking people inside. That's
Sarah, if this works,
then we exceed quota.
Everyone wins.
[SIGHS]
Like I said, I'm going to
lock the door on my way out.
Only use the code in case of emergency.
I know you, Sarah.
You gotta stop being so soft.
Trust me and let me help you succeed.
[SIGHS]
Hey Doyle, quit it.
You're making us look bad.
[GARBLED NOISES]
It's just wrong.
The company shouldn't be
able to take our phones away
before every shift.
I'll ask again if we make quota.
Daniel's usually more open.
Thank you.
Can't believe we finally have
one of us as shift manager.
Own it, girl.
I bet you Jamal happy.
Yeah, now that I'm making more
but he's still out of work,
and it is not easy looking
after Kayla all day.
Hey, did you talk to Daniel
about that
We can't bring in any exterminators.
Daniel will never sign off
on shutting everything down
to take care of a few rats.
It's more than just a few.
Okay fine. What about this then?
Isn't this stuff toxic?
Can't we at least lock
it up someplace safe
instead of having it
laying around everywhere?
You know, you could help
me do something about all this
if you joined management.
[LAUGHS INCREDULOUSLY]
Okay, then at least
have my back tonight.
Daniel will let people go
if we don't meet quota.
Fine.
We'll look out for each other.
I'll keep the line tight.
[SNARLING]
Hey Doyle, you all right?
[SNARLING]
Hey, old man.
Ugh!
[GROWLING AND SNARLING]
WORKER: Doyle, stop! Get off him!
He bit Gus?
Yeah. Just before I got there.
Gus knocked his lights out
and the guys brought him here.
I don't need this.
Why would they start
fighting now and biting?
I don't know.
Him and the guys always
going hard on caffeine pills
and uppers.
Maybe it's a side effect.
- We should get him to a hospital.
- Listen to me.
We need to keep this under control.
There's plenty of time after the shift.
After the shift?
You lost your mind. He bit somebody!
[GROWLING]
Doyle?
Hey, you okay?
What the hell happened?
[GROWLING AND SNARLING]
Doyle? Doyle?
What's going on?
[GUTTURAL SNARLING]
What the hell kind of pills was he on?
Wait Tina!
[SNARLING AND GROWLING]
We can't mess around with this.
We need to call 911.
No. No way.
The cops will make everything worse.
Let's just get through this shift.
Sarah. Doyle just went crazy.
Look, if we're going
to shut everything down,
- let's at least be sure, okay?
- What does that mean?
Find out exactly what
happened to him first.
And what if he gets worse?
Tina, a bunch of our people
are going to lose their jobs
if we don't make quota.
Let's just be sure.
I'll talk to Gus.
Maybe he can tell me
exactly what happened
before Doyle went crazy.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Please don't let me regret this.
[DISTANT SNARLING]
What?
[FEEDING SOUNDS]
[FEEDING]
[GASPS] Oh!
What the hell's going on?
Elizabeth!
[SNARLING]
[STRUGGLING GRUNTS]
[SNARLING]
[SCREAMING]
[CRYING]
[SNARLING]
Did I did I kill him?
I don't think so.
You didn't hit him hard enough.
[GASPS]
Ugh.
Whatever it is, I think it got him.
BOTH: Doyle.
Come on.
- We need to get out of here.
- Okay.
Okay, we just have to get
back to my office,
- unlock the main doors.
- What?
We're locked in.
I was talking to Daniel and
He locked us in?
Call his ass right now.
I know, I'm sorry.
When I said "lock them in,"
I didn't think
Wait, wait. When
you said "lock them in?"
This was your idea?
And now we're trapped
in all this craziness?
It was a joke.
- There was no way I could have known
- I don't believe this!
God, you are such a sellout.
You keep pretending like
you have all the answers,
but you're just scared and
thinking of your own damn self.
- Tina!
- I don't even know
- who you are anymore!
- Tina, no!
[METAL CRASHING]
Tina?
Tina?
[GAS HISSING]
[COUGHS]
[PANICKED BREATHING]
[SNARLING]
[SNARLING]
[GAGS]
Okay.
[COUGHING]
[SNARLING AND GROWLING]
[SCREAMING]
[GROWLING AND SNARLING]
[POUNDING]
TINA: Oh, my God.
They all have it.
This is messed up.
How are we going to get out of here?
What's that?
It's the code for the door lock.
We just have to get to the front
without those things getting us.
- Sarah?
- What?
Your nose.
Tina You
[GASPS] Oh, oh!
[COUGHING]
[SNARLING]
[PANICKED BREATHING]
That'll be us before we know it.
Maybe not.
Doyle got sick at
the start of the shift.
Then he bit Gus.
Then it spread to the whole
team in under an hour.
An hour.
[PHONE DIALING]
[RINGING]
Hey Kayla, what are you doing up?
I'm so sorry mommy's
been working so much.
I thought I could
make things all better,
but I was wrong.
No, sweetie.
Just give him a big kiss for
mommy and tell him I love him.
I'm sending you a big
hug through the phone.
Can you feel it?
Yes, baby.
[TEARFULLY] Mommy loves you.
[COUGHING]
[PHONE RINGING]
Come on, pick up
Pick up
Please.
[SOBS]
[COUGHING]
Damn gas.
[COUGHS]
The only thing keeping this
thing from the outside world
is that the warehouse is locked.
We have to call the cops.
The CDC, somebody.
Let them know when they find our
bodies we could be contagious.
We can take care of
this problem ourselves.
Tina.
This place deserves to burn
for everything it's done to us.
At least this way we're
protecting the folks we love.
[SOBBING]
I don't have a husband like you do.
Or a family.
Only my two boys. Five and seven.
[SOBS]
They'll go into the system without me.
I can't believe I'll
never hold them again.
I, I have to see them again.
Even Even if I can't hug them.
Sarah, there's no way!
Sarah, no!
No!
[BEEPING]
No, no, no!
[DISTANT SNARLING]
No, no, no
[SNARLING AND GROWLING]
DANIEL: Trust me. Let
me help you succeed.
Oh, my God. Daniel, what did you do?
[GROWLING AND SNARLING]
Okay.
The only thing keeping this
thing from the outside world
is that the warehouse is locked.
TINA: We'll look out for each other.
I'll keep the line tight.

REPORTER: Smoke fills the air
in the early morning hours
of Christmas Day
today after an explosion
at the Rush 2 Send shipping
facility last night.
There are evidently no
survivors of the tragic fire
that destroyed the building,
and this is devastating
news for the family
and friends of employees
working the night shift.
In honor of their fallen co-workers,
Rush 2 Send's other facilities
are working overtime
