Daniel I just think I should go back to Mom's early.
What did you say?
Daniel What, can you not hear me?
No, I can't hear you. Say it again.
Daniel [Slowly]
I think I should go back to Mom's--
Well, then go!
Laura
You put us in here! You can get us out of here!
Obi
No, I can't.
Then you're a dead man.
Obi
So are you.
[Xavier approaches Obi to kill him]
He's not gonna... [Restrains him] Wait, wait, wait, wait! Wait. Listen to me. Okay, we got two antidotes at the back of that oven. We're wasting time here.
Laura
Wasting time?! Are you kidding me?! He kidnapped me in the middle of the night!
We don't even know what's in those syringes. You willing to stick yourself in the arm to find out?
Daniel Okay, wait. So who gets them? I mean, there's two. So which two people get the antidote?
We'll work that out later! [Grabs Obi] Right now, you're going in there... [Holds the knife to Obi's throat] Or I'll kill you where you stand!
Obi
[Obi calmly slits the knife across his throat, much to Xavier's shock]
If you're gonna threaten me with a knife, you might as well cut me a little. I guess I'm going in there to get those needles. But I get one.
Daniel Amanda, you said you survived this, right?
I what?
Daniel This, guy, whoever's doing it, you said that you've played before and you survived.
Daniel So that means we could survive?
Maybe.
Daniel Amanda, why did he pick you?
Because I was a **** junkie. And the funny thing is, I passed his little test.
Daniel If you passed his test, then why are you back here?
I wasn't being very good to myself.
Daniel How long have you, um...?
I started in jail.
Daniel What were you arrested for?
Possession. [Walks up a staircase]
Daniel But I thought you said that...
Maybe you should talk to the cop who arrested me.
[Eric awakens, chained in the bathroom from the first movie and discovers a tape. He starts it.] [Amanda's Voice]
Hello, Eric. You probably don't even remember me, but you changed my life once. You sent me to prison. I was guilty of a lot of things, but not the drug charge you framed me for. You wouldn't know the things you lose when you're locked away. The second time somebody changed my life, I was guilty.
[Flashback]
Hello, Amanda.
Daniel You said you survived this, right?
Yeah.
You must meet death... in order to be reborn.
He helped me.
[Present]
What is the cure for cancer, Eric?
[Flashback]
Those who don't appreciate life do not deserve life.
By creating a legacy, by living a life worth remembering, you become immortal. So now you find the tables are turned.
[Flashback]
He asked for you!
What the **** do you want?!
I told you.
He wants us to survive this.
I want to play a game.
You have to play by the **** rules!
The rules are simple. All you have to do is sit here and talk to me.
What?
If you can do that long enough, you will find your son in a safe and secure state.
It's your son, Daniel. You remember him, don't you?
Daniel Matthews My dad's a... he's a real hardass.
The knowledge of your son's impending death is causing to forgive all his sins. Why is that we're only willing to do that when a life is at stake?
DANIEL! [To John] I'm done listening to you.
Don't forget the rules.
SHUT THE **** UP!!
He's playing a game.
I don't want to talk to him. [To John] You're not saying shit!
We both know the sort of person you are. Not long to go now until your son is pissing-- [Eric hits him] I'll take you to the house.
[A figure in a pig mask injects him with something]
There's something I haven't told you, Eric.
[Amanda removes the pig mask] [Narrating]
It is I who will carry on John's work after he dies...
[Present]
DANIEL!
[Flashback]
So go ahead. Destroy it.
[Present]
... and you...
... are my first test subject. Now you are locked away. Helpless...
You **** bitch.
Game over.
[Amanda locks the door of the bathroom.]
I'LL **** KILL YOU! YOU **** BITCH! YOU **** BITCH! I'LL **** KILL YOU! NO! NO! NO! [Screams fade away]
