8 scenes Luba Luba [Luba wakes up with a collar on her neck, frightened and panicked.] [panicked]
What is this?---
Ashley
[to Luba]
Hey, [Luba stops.] don't move.
Luba What did you do to me?
Ashley
I didn't do anything.
Jigsaw.
Luba What?
I knew this was gonna happen to me. This is what he does.
[Mallick tries to free himself.]
No, it's not Jigsaw. He's dead. Haven't you watched TV lately?
Luba Yeah, well, whoever it is, [points to the video camera.] they're watching us.
Ashley
Which are what?
[As Mallick desperately tries to free himself.] [to Mallick.]
I wouldn't do that if I were you. [Mallick stops and turns to Charles.] Unless you want your head to pop off like a dandelion.
How do you know that?
Because I have eyes. [points to the timer.] One pull-pin starts the timer for all of us. You won't wanna do that unless you know how it works, now, would you?
You're starting to freak me out, dude.
Luba No, no, no, it says: Don't listen to your instincts., That means don't go for the keys.
You **** nuts?!
Ashley
How are we supposed to live if we don't go for the keys?
Luba Maybe, It's testing our endurance.---
We gotta move there [pointing to where they go.], That timer's connected to those jars.
No, It didn't say anything about those jars. They could be nothing.---
Ashley
They're nail bombs. Homemade, probably C-4.
How the **** do you know that?
She's a fire inspector. She's seen all kinds of demented shit.
Ashley
How do you know me?
Look, let's just keep our cool. Okay?, we can figure this out.
Luba We're all here for a reason. Okay, and we're all connected, as the message said. We just need to-- [Luba stops and turns to Brit.] What did you do?
You go first.
Luba I-It said that we were all born with advantages. Right? That means we're all for money.
Ashley
[None of them doesn't respond.]
I'm not.
And neither am I.
Hey, nice **** try, Nancy Drew.
Luba Well, then, what does it mean?
Ashley
We all did something wrong with an advantage from birth. That doesn't have to mean money.
What are you not telling us? Huh? You know about her, what do you know about the rest of us?
Relax!
I am **** relaxed!
It's a game, tweaker! Get it? The less you know about me, the better. The reason why [Charles grabs Mallick's burnt arm and show it to him.] you **** up your charmed existence is pretty obvious to everyone, isn't it?
You've been playing with matches again, have we?
**** all of you and your **** plan!
Luba [Mallick panics and runs through the keys.]
Not yet!
[Charles pulls Mallick's collar to stop him, causing the timer to start.]
Do you know that for sure?
Educated guess.
Luba What we need to do is figure out who everyone is?
Okay, well, we know that the dead woman worked for the fire department.---
Not anymore! She got canned a month ago.
How the **** do you...? How the **** do you know that? You're responsible for this? She had her **** head cut off! I'm closing the door!, I'm gonna close the **** door!
Just be quiet!, [Mallick stops.] Please? [turns to Luba.] What's your story?
Luba I work for the Department of City Planning.
Married? Kids?
Luba No, and no. Your turn.
Uh..., You're not gonna tell them about Daddy?
Luba My dad is... Richard Gibbs.
The owner of the Cougars?---
He's been trying to build a new stadium for years. Little did he know all he had to do is wait for his daughter to get a job in City Planning.
I'm a senior V.P. for a real estate development company.
So you're boring too. Hmm?
Luba [Charles laughs.]
The Marshvard Group. Yeah, you can't get a permit in this town without going through the Department of City Planning. Right?
No, you can't.
Luba What about you?
Uh..., No wife, No kids that I know of, No job.
Trust-fund baby. Anyone surprised?---
I'm so **** sick of your self-righteousness, man!
Your turn.
I'm an investigative journalist for The Herald.
The Herald? That's your massive accomplishment? You work for a gossip rag?
Bite your **** tongue.
Let's do this **** thing before the bombs go off.
[Mallick breaks a jar with a pole. Brit collects a key from it.]
****. It's a blank. [Looks at the locks] I need a shape.
Luba [Charles begins to beat Mallick with the pole.]
Stop it!
[Luba attack Charles, only to be thrown to the floor.]
Get a clue, you **** bitch! It's survival of the fittest!
[Charles begins breaking all the jars. Brit and Luba looks for the right keys.] [Examining the keys]
Blank.
Luba [Examining the keys]
Blank.
[Brit sees Luba get a key and goes into a shelter. Mallick tries to get a fitting key from the floor, but Charles steps on his hand.]
Better luck next time, rich boy.
Luba [Luba hits Charles with a pole, knocking him to the floor.]
Survival of the fittest, my ass!
[Mallick takes the key. He and Luba enter the shelters. Charles regains consciousness and stands. 0:03 seconds left.]
Wait!
[The room explodes, killing Charles]
What'd you do to get here?
I... I did something and a bunch of people were killed. I didn't mean to. They're still dead. So...
Luba That's why you're here?
Yeah.
Luba Shouldn't you have gone to jail for something like that?
Nobody else knows.
Luba I didn't kill anybody if that's what you're asking.
I wasn't.
Luba I grant building permits. And yes, some people might have been more deserving than others. But you know what? That's the business. Someone tells you different, they're just stupid. Or naive. Or both.
Bullshit. You take bribes. You're a **** liar. You cheat people. That's not nice.
Luba Yeah, well. I'm sure she's not exactly Mother Teresa either.
No, I'm not. I build condos in one of the most densely populated cities in the country. You don't put up a new building without tearing down a few old ones.
So, we're all bags of shit that deserve to be here. That's good. That's great. **** great.
So is that what you think this is? You don't think there's any other connection?
No, I do. I do. And I don't give a shit. Close the **** door. We have to hear the rules.
Tape
[Brit shuts the door]
Hello and welcome. You must all be eager to learn the next important lesson in your transformation. The game before you is designed to bridge the gap between you all. In order to open the five locks on the door out of this room, the five electrical circuits powering them must be closed. The only way to do this is to find a way to connect all five cords to the bath water. Close the circuits, and the door will open. But you must work quickly for in three minutes, an electrical current will surge through this room locking the door forever. Who will bridge the gap? The choice is yours.
It's gonna reach. How the **** are going to do this? Come on!
Luba You're gonna get in the tub. And we're going to connect the five cords to you.
But you're gonna kill me, too.
Luba Get in.
[Sarcastically]
Yeah, I'm more of a shower guy. I don't think I'm gonna do that right now...
Luba Get in the **** tub!
[Luba swings a pole at him. He stumbles into the bath, realizing her intentions]
No, no, no, no! Don't do it. Please, no. [Brit stabs Luba in the neck with a hairpin] You killed her. You **** killed her.
I didn't trust her.
Jesus Christ. What is it with you two?
Just shut up and help me with the body.
