Look, I know how this guy works, okay? He's playing a game. Eric just needs to stay in it a little bit longer.
Take a look at the clock. You need to start thinking outside the box, or his son is gonna end up in one.

Look, I know how this guy works, okay? He's playing a game. Eric just needs to stay in it a little bit longer.
Take a look at the clock. You need to start thinking outside the box, or his son is gonna end up in one.
Should have your tech team here in about an hour or two.
He said he wants to talk to me.
Well, maybe you should talk to him.
Well, **** that. Five minutes. Old-school method.
He's not gonna respond to phone-book treatment. You know that.
Don't underestimate a tried and true method here.
I am the one who's been working on this case since day one. I have been spending every waking moment piecing it together.
Maybe that's why you ain't got no family for yourself and you can't understand what this man is going through.
Look.
I don't want to talk to him.
Listen, you already lost your son one time before because you got involved with me. It's not gonna happen again.
This is bullshit! What are we gonna do?
Just humor him. Buy us a little more time. You can win this, Eric. You can beat him. Come on.
All right.
Thought your caseload was big enough as it is.
Just taggin' along for the ride.
You put us in here! You can get us out of here!
No, I can't.
Then you're a dead man.
So are you.
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.
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?
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!
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.
Another one down, Kerry. How much more time are we gonna waste on this bastard?
We are not wasting time. We are doing exactly what we should be doing before the tech team gets here.
It's not what it looks like to me.
"Obi?"
What the **** is a Obi?
Ah-bee. It's my name.
Everything you need to know is on this. [Starts the tape]
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.
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?
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.
There's something I haven't told you, Eric.
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.
I'LL **** KILL YOU! YOU **** BITCH! YOU **** BITCH! I'LL **** KILL YOU! NO! NO! NO! [Screams fade away]
How will you get your conviction without all this evidence, Eric?
I don't need this shit to convict you.
So go ahead. Destroy it.
I will.
Destroy it all. Just know it will not save your son if you do.
You kill my son, I kill you.
Go ahead. Why wait? We both know the sort of person you are, sir. The sort of person who guns down an unarmed suspect. In fact, the sort of person who plants evidence in order to obtain a conviction. The sort of person whose wife leaves him and his son hates him.
SHUT THE **** UP!!
****!
Well, we've established that the macho-bullshit approach isn't opening the door. Any other suggestions?
Look who's talking. The only door you know how to open... is between your legs!
Come on, man.
I'm sick of your bullshit!
That's your luck, bending on over in prison, you little dickhead! Asshole!
What you gonna do? Bitch!
Hey! Hey! Okay, man. Nobody takes shit from nobody. We've established that.
Greetings...and welcome. I trust that you are all wondering where you are. I can assure you that while your location is not important, what these walls offer you is important: salvation, if you earn it. Three hours from now, the door to this house will open. Unfortunately, you only have two hours to live. Right now, you are breathing in a deadly nerve agent. You've been breathing it since you arrived here. Those of you familiar with the Tokyo subway attacks will know its devastating effects on the human body. The only way to overcome it and walk out that door is to find an antidote. Several are hidden around this house. One is inside the safe in front of you. You all possess the combination to the safe. Think hard. The numbers are in the back of your mind. The clue to their order can be found over the rainbow. Once you realize what you all have in common, you will gain a better understanding of why you're here. X marks the spot for that clue, so look carefully. Let the game begin.
Hello, Michael. I want to play a game. So far, in what loosely could be called your life, you have made a living watching others. Society would call you an informant, a rat, a snitch. I call you unworthy of the body you possess. Of the life you've been given. Now we will see if you are willing to look inward, rather than outward, to give up the one thing you rely on in order to go on living. The device around your neck is a death mask. The mask is on a string timer. If you do not locate the key in time, the mask will close. Think of it like a Venus Flytrap. What you're looking at right now is your own body, not more than two hours ago. Don't worry. You're sound asleep, and can't feel a thing. Taking into account that you are at a great disadvantage here, I am going to give you a hint as to where I have hidden the key. So listen carefully. The hint is this: [TV screen shows an x-ray.] It's right before your eyes. How much blood would you shed to stay alive, Michael? Live or die, make your choice.
Hello, Obi. I want to play a game. For years you have burned those around you with your lies, cons, and deceits. Now you will have a chance to redeem yourself, for the games you've played with others, by playing one of mine. Inside the device in front of you are two antidotes for the poison coursing through your veins. One is my gift to you for helping me kidnap the others. The second is yours to donate. However, one will come with a price. Remember Obi: Once you are in Hell, only the devil can help you out.
Hello, Xavier. I want to play a game. The game I want to play is very similar to the game you've been playing as a drug dealer. The game of offering hope to the desperate, for a price. I think we can agree that your situation is desperate. So, I offer you hope. The price you pay is that you must crawl into the same pit of squalor you force your customers into. By entering this room, you have started a timer. When the timer expires, the door in front of you will be locked forever. Only in finding the key before the timer runs out can you unlock it and retrieve the antidote inside. I will give you just one hint where to that key is: It will be like finding a needle in a haystack. Let the game begin.
I'LL **** KILL YOU! YOU **** BITCH! YOU **** BITCH! I'LL **** KILL YOU! No! NO!!! [Screams fade away]
