Hello?
Anyone here?
Hello?
Aah!
[Gasps]
Numbers.
Where's the god... Goddamned numbers?
Oh, god.
There's got to be something in...
Oh, shit!
Aah!
Goddamn it!
Aah!
Goddamn it!
I mean, they're my numbers.
Don't I at least get a shot with my numbers,
you stupid fucks?!
I want a chance!
Uh...
I want a chance like everyone else.
[Distant screaming]
Oh, my god.
Oh, you bastards.
Oh, shit.
Our father, which art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name...
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors,
and lead us not into temptation...
Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil,
for thine is the kingdom...
And the power and the glory...
Forever and ever. Amen.
Hello?
Are you all right?
Can you hear me?
Are you hurt?
Aah!
Don't move. Don't make a sound.
Mmm!
I said don't move.
Are you alone?
Blink once for yes, twice for no.
Is there anyone else in the other room?
All right, I'm going to release you...
But I can take you down again
just as quick as the first time, so don't scream.
Do you understand?
Once for yes, twice for no.
Are you alone?
All right. All right.
What the hell do you think you're doing?
How many rooms you been in?
What is this place?
I don't know! You tell me!
How many rooms you been in?
I don't know. 5 or 6. What about you?
Uh, this is my third.
You sure you didn't see anyone else?
No. Have you?
No.
So, who are you?
Who are you?
[Distorted voices]
What the fuck are those noises?!
Relax. This is just for show, all right?
Pretend that you're scared.
That should be easy.
All right, get down here now, or she's dead.
Some hero.
I have that effect on men.
Glad to see you haven't lost your sense of humor.
[Door opens]
Is this really necessary?
Just hang on.
Isn't that the same...
[Door opens]
Hey! Hey! Come back!
[Door opens]
Man: Jesus Christ! Hey! What?!
Where the fuck do you think you're going?
This guy sure moves quickly.
He's just... Gone.
Yeah. Well, maybe something made him gone.
Maybe you should come back.
This place is awful.
Girl: Please don't hurt me.
Don't be frightened.
Don't worry.
There's nobody else here.
It's just me.
I'm Kate.
What's your name?
Sasha.
Well, that's a beautiful name.
Don't worry.
Everything's gonna be all right, ok?
Do you understand me?
I'm just blind...
Not retarded.
[Door opens]
[Man struggling]
Uh!
Well... Finally.
I was beginning to wonder
if I was the only one in here.
I kept hoping that I would find some other people.
I've been wandering around these rooms for hours.
Sasha: Stay away from me!
No one's going to hurt you.
Well, certainly not.
No, no. I come in peace, young lady.
I'm Jerry.
This is Sasha.
She's blind, and she's very scared.
Oh.
Bummer...
To be blind in this place.
You know what this place is?
No. And i don't suppose
either of you two
could let me know
what we're doing in here?
No.
Oh, uh... Jerry whitehall.
Kate filmore.
Kate: What are you doing?
I'm marking the rooms.
This is the fourth room you've been in?
I thought you said you'd been
wandering these rooms for hours.
Yeah. That's...
That's the weird thing, isn't it?
Each one of these rooms
has 6 of these doors, or portals.
But no matter how many different
door, or portals, i go through,
I always wound up in the same 3 rooms...
It's as if the rooms are moving around or something.
Yeah. But I don't feel any motion. Do you?
No. That's what is so strange.
I ran into this guy who...
[whirring]
Oh, no! It's getting closer.
I don't know. Something's coming after us,
and I don't think it likes us.
I don't hear any people, hon.
I think it's just motors...
Please, we have to get out of here right now!
Any suggestion on which way to go next?
Your guess is as good as mine. I don't know.
Please! We have to move!
Ok. Sasha, we're gonna have to climb
a bit of a ladder, all right?
Hold onto me. Move quickly.
Just get me out of here.
Man: Help!
Help me!
Oh, god!
There's a guy hanging.
I can't hold him much longer!
Ok! I'm coming! I'm coming!
Sasha: What's happening?
Hurry!
Hang on! Hang on! Hang on! Hang on!
I'm coming! I'm coming!
Don't let me go.
Good girl. Good girl.
Sasha, you're gonna be ok.
You just stay right here, all right?
You're gonna be ok.
[Door opens]
There you are.
I see you found some friends, huh?
Help me get them down.
Fantastic.
I'm losing him!
Ok, give me some space.
I'm gonna loosen the belt.
All right. I got him.
I'm losing him.
Ready! You got it?
Hurry!
Here he goes!
[Panting]
Ok. Just a sec. But not yet.
I got him.
Slowly! Slowly! Easy!
I got his legs.
Lean him up against this wall here.
Ok, watch his head.
That's it.
Make sure he's upright.
He's alive.
He's breathing.
Good. And he's military.
Colonel Thomas h. Maguire, department of defense.
Jesus Christ.
He's Pentagon high-tech liaison.
You? How the hell would you know?
A buddy of mine is doing 10 t0 20 upstate
for cracking the mainframe on the Pentagon 2 years ago.
I helped him write the code.
I figure maybe that's why I'm in here.
You know for sure we're in a prison,
or are you just talking out of your ass?
I'm assuming that...
You know what they say about that.
Ha ha ha...
Thanks. That's good. That's helpful.
Jerry whitehall. Thanks.
Simon Grady.
That's Kate, Sasha...
I'm sorry. I didn't get your name.
Max reisler.
Max.
Kate: Sasha.
Sasha. Jerry, could you...
Oh, yeah, yeah. Sure. Of course.
It's all right. Just sit up.
Here.
Let's get you sitting up
straight here, fella.
Sasha, you ok?
This man's been beaten... Badly.
He's been tortured. Look at his hand.
Cigarette burns.
Sasha: They're coming for us next.
Don't you worry.
I'm not gonna let anyone hurt you.
I hope it's that easy, Kate.
There's nothing in here.
What do you think?
Well, I figure he knows something,
something that he didn't want anyone to know.
That's usually why people are tortured.
Max: How do you know, Mr. cigarette burns?
What are you, an expert?
Well, as a matter of fact, you weedy little shit...
[door opens]
Sasha: They're coming.
They're coming.
Aah!
Ooh! Hello.
Do you know where the showers are?
I seem to be lost again.
I always get lost in this gym.
I don't know why my daughter-in-law
insists on bringing me here.
It's all the way across town. Ooh!
Watch your step. Watch your step.
One rung at a time. Here we go.
Woman: Thank you, dear. Oh, my goodness.
I'm afraid i can't help you with the showers.
I'm Jerry. Hi.
Oh. You're not little Jerry reeseback, are you?
Oh, thank goodness. He's my paper boy,
and I owe him $10.
Right. Well, this is Simon.
Oh.
Kate and Sasha.
Hello.
And, uh...
Max.
And you are?
I'm Mrs. Paley.
How do you do, Mrs. Paley?
You don't happen to know
oh, dear. I was never very good at philosophy.
[Laughter]
Do any of us know
what's going on here?
Sorry.
I've been trying to get a handle
on the configuration of these rooms.
All I can say is...
They just don't make any sense.
That's right. They sure don't.
It's as if the rooms are moving around very quickly.
There's got to be some kind of logic to it.
I mean, these rooms just seem to... Repeat.
You go in one direction,
and the room just loops back on itself.
[Whirring]
It's getting closer.
Sasha, do you know what "it" is?
Not really, but I can hear it...
All the time, even when you don't.
And it sounds...
It feels wrong.
Maybe we're in hell.
All right. All right.
Let's get some real answers.
His answer was suicide.
Not exactly a comforting thought.
Ok, soldier, up on your feet.
Hey, careful. He's hurt.
Come on, pumpkin! Up you come!
Stop it! He's in serious condition.
Kate, listen to me, sweetheart!
I'm not your sweetheart, asshole.
You want to be next when they come for us?
Who exactly are "they"?
I'm going to find out.
Come on, tiger. Let's go.
Jerry: If he dies, you'll get no information whatsoever.
Whoa! Jesus Christ!
Oh!
It's here.
What the fuck?
Come on!
Ok, he's conscious.
Come on, soldier. Talk to me, soldier.
Ok, talk to me. What's going on here?
Are you speaking to me?
Ok, just tell me... How do we get out of here?
I don't know.
You figure out the code,
you get out.
The first one had rules...
The first one? What are you talking about?
Leave him alone. He's delirious.
Look, he knows something, all right?
I'll carry him myself. Just give us something.
Maguire: The first cube had numbers.
What do you mean, "the first one"?
What the hell are you talking about?
I'm out of here.
Uh!
Oh, my god. Are you ok?
Did you hit your head?
Yeah. I slipped.
It's the wall. It wiggled.
Are you sure you're ok?
Look! There it goes again!
Jerry: Th-th-that's a...
I don't know.
Aah!
Holy fuck!
What is that?
Simon: I don't know.
But I don't think we should stick around to find out.
Come on! Let's go!
Come on, Sasha.
Come on.
I'm right behind you, hon.
Easy, easy, easy.
Hurry up.
Oh, for Christ's sake.
Kate: What the...
Paley: Oh, my!
[Rumbling]
[All talking at once]
Move it! Move it! Move it!
It's time for us to go. I'm not done with you yet.
I'm not going.
What did you do that for?
I'm not going anywhere soon.
Well, fuck you!
Come on, Kate. Let's get out of here.
Do you have the key?
You mean this?
Yeah. No!
What did you do that for?
You don't honestly think you can escape?
We have to try. Uh!
Oh, my god.
This is gonna hurt.
Kate, get the hell up here.
No. I'm not leaving without him.
For god's sake, he's a dead man! Move!
There's no time left! Let's go!
I'm not leaving him behind.
You can go on ahead.
Oh, my god. There's got to be a way.
Kate, get the hell out of there.
Oh, my god.
Leave him! He's dead!
Oh, my god!
Aah! Aah!
Let me go! Let me go!
Aah! Aah! Aah!
[Screaming continues]
Simon: It's still coming! Come on!
[Rumbling]
So, what the hell happened back there, huh?
I don't know.
Paley: Oh. Hello.
And where did you come from?
What's your name?
I'm...
I'm Kate.
Don't you remember me?
Oh. Mrs. Paley.
The colonel was our only link to this place.
Maybe not. Uh...
I designed the door panels in here...
The touch sensors.
Well, I was freelancing for a subcontractor.
You know, I...
You didn't think this was worth mentioning before?
Well, I signed a confidentiality...
Given our current situation,
I'd say it's null and void! Jesus Christ.
They're legal and...
What the hell is this place?!
You don't think the guy that makes
the toilets in the space shuttle
you must have some idea what they were building.
It was experimental, you know.
It was a prototype.
For what?
I'm not sure.
Leading-edge stuff. There were rumors.
What kind of rumors, Jerry?
What rumors?!
Quantum teleportation.
Pardon?
They were just rumors. That's all.
You mean like... "Beam me up, Scotty"?
Kate: Ok.
Now this is getting ridiculous.
What do you know, Jerry?
Nothing.
You're lying.
Because both you and the colonel work for them.
Them? Who the hell are "them" anyway?
What? The government? The mafia? Aliens?
Paley: Oh, my goodness.
It's a tesseract.
Oh, Christ. She's losing it.
Isn't it beautiful?
Isn't what beautiful, Mrs. Paley?
Holy shit. If you look at it
from just the right angle...
What did you call it again, Mrs. Paley?
Oh, it's a tesseract, sweetheart.
Tesseract. Yeah. Ha ha ha.
Tesseract.
It's a tesseract.
How do you know it's a tesseract,
oh, is the second act beginning already?
We should be getting back to our seats.
Excuse me.
Yeah.
She for real?
Jerry: Ha ha ha!
A tesseract. Holy Christ. Of course.
A tesseract. Ha ha ha!
Jerry, are you ok?
Yeah. I can't believe i didn't see it before.
It's been staring at us in the face the whole time.
Maybe you could share with the rest of the class.
Oh, of course. Look, a tesseract.
It's another name for a...
A hypercube.
A what?
A hypercube. A 4-dimensional cube.
All the elements are there. Rooms repeating,
rooms folding in on themselves.
Teleportation. It could all very well add up.
Well, look. Here. See?
Let's call one dimension length
and represent that with a simple line.
Now, 2 dimensions are length and width. Huh?
Which can be represented by a simple square.
Now, if we extend that square one more dimension...
We get a cube, which has 3 dimensions...
Length, width, and depth.
Come on. We all passed the eighth grade.
Hush.
Now, here's the really funky part.
If you take this cube
and we extend it one more dimension,
we get...
Max: I always thought time was considered to be the fourth dimension.
Sure. That's one idea,
but what if you have a fourth spatial dimension?
There's no such thing.
Hey, buddy, why don't you shut up?
Ok, ok. Let's just say
that we are in this hypercube, whatever.
Does this diagram show us how to get out?
Well, um...
A hypercube isn't supposed to be real.
It's just a theoretical construct.
Oh. Well, that makes me feel better.
Is there a theory on how we might get out
of this theoretical construct?
Well, I don't know.
Paley: Oh, don't worry, dear.
It's just a matter of time.
Oh, that's so much clearer. Thank you.
Max: Right.
Anyway, here's my theory, for what it's worth.
We are all unwilling participants
in a game show
and are being videotaped as we speak.
The forceful abduction of innocent people for such purposes,
we could all take comfort in the fact
that once the show airs,
we'll be able to parlay this
into some lucrative sponsorship deals.
Ok, Max.
And what's the object of this game show?
Hmm... I don't know. To get out alive?
I think we should make a map.
I don't think a map's gonna really help us.
Look at that.
That wasn't there a minute ago.
Did you write that?
No. I left my wings at home.
I just marked this room as 10 before.
Somebody's been here before us.
A really large someone.
Why would someone go through the trouble
of writing it on the ceiling?
60,659 rooms? Christ.
This place must be huge.
Paley: Oh, yes. Yes.
In a hypercube, there could be 60 million rooms.
She could be right.
There's a comforting thought.
Ah...
[Door opens]
What the hell are you doing?
Yowza. The ratings on this show just doubled.
Simon: What do you see?
A girl.
I'm going in.
I think i got to puke.
You all right?
I just...
Aah!
Get back here!
What's happening? What's going on?
Try to give me your hand.
Help me!
You ok?
What's going on?
Max, don't be an idiot.
Come on back.
No. It's ok.
Jesus. The gravity shifted. Wow.
So, are we going in there or what?
Maybe she knows something.
What about our...
Less agile members?
I have an idea.
[Door opens]
Hello?
Kate: Whoa! I'm all right.
Miss?
Hey, miss.
Hey.
Wake up.
She's on her way.
Guess it's time for plan "b."
Why don't you give her mouth-to-mouth
and see if that works?
You think I should?
Oh, very funny.
What? What?
Hi.
What's wrong?
What the hell?
Where am I?
That's the million- dollar question.
[Laughing hysterically]
Does she have to keep cackling like that?
Come on. Let's just get this over with.
I don't know what... Ha ha ha!
All right, this is gonna be
some kind of fucking day.
Yeah, Mrs. Paley,
just keep laughing there.
Oh, god.
Paley: Ha ha ha! This is more fun
than I've had since my... Ooh!... 13th birthday!
I'm glad somebody's having fun.
This reminds me of that old hoop swing
for Christ sakes, Mrs. Paley, this isn't a game!
Come on. Come on down.
Simon, you guys keep her steady.
All right, all right. Come on.
Ok, and you're down.
That's good.
Oh! We've landed.
Simon: It's your turn. You'll have to climb around the sides.
Pull this fucking thing up.
Oh, Christ. This is gonna be fun.
Oh, hello there. I'm Mrs. Paley.
Who the hell are you people?
Uh... Well, I'm Kate,
and this is Mrs. Paley.
And I am Julia. And this is...
Hey, is this your jacket?
No.
Well, then how did I...
I must have had more to drink last night
than I thought.
There's nothing in here.
How the hell did I get here?
I mean, have we been kidnapped?
Now, you know, that's a really good question.
So, does anyone remember how we got here?
Last thing i remember was going to sleep.
Where?
In my bed.
Where do you live?
Lincoln, Nebraska.
Kate, I'm a healthy, married male white engineer
who enjoys reading horror novels
and eating chocolate ice cream
as well as climbing around psycho jungle gyms.
Ha ha ha. Ok. Um...
I remember driving home from Maine state hospital.
It was late, and I just wanted to get home.
I'd been working long hours.
I'm a psychotherapist. Simon.
New haven. I was out for a drink.
What do you do?
I'm a consultant... A management consultant.
Max: Yeah, right.
And I'm Santa claus.
Ok, Max, how about you?
I live in palo alto.
I design computer games.
The last thing i remember,
I fell asleep on my keyboard.
Sasha, hon, where do you live?
New Mexico.
I was doing my homework in the kitchen,
like I always do.
Nothing ever happens to me.
The last thing i remember...
Is taking the dog for a walk.
Julia?
I was at an after-party
for a premiere in Santa Monica.
Are you an actress?
Uh, no. No, I'm an attorney.
Well, let's just say, if I was kidnapped,
it was for the ransom.
Ok, so we got silicon valley,
Connecticut, Nebraska,
Hollywood, Maine.
Mrs. Paley, where exactly do you live?
Oh, in that high-rise
at the corner of riverside and 94th.
Could you give me a lift home, dear?
I seem to have lost my daughter-in-law.
Ignorance is bliss.
This doesn't make any sense.
Simon: Yeah. Well... I think they probably flew us here
flew us out here in private or military jets.
That's what I think.
But where is here?
Simon: I don't know.
Your guess is as good as mine.
Jerry: They could have built
a hypercube structure anywhere.
And if this thing really does fold space,
we could be literally anywhere.
What the hell?
What?
Kate: Here's that number again.
60659.
This can't be the same room.
Because now they're in a string of other numbers.
There just can't be that many rooms.
Maybe they're not room numbers.
Maybe somebody else figured something out.
We are definitely not alone.
Check this out.
What is it? What's happening?
Julia, is that your watch?
No.
No. It's mine.
It...
Well, this is bizarre.
Max: What? Somebody else has a watch just like yours?
Look. Somebody's playing games with us.
Oh, shit.
Look. This is the watch
that my wife gave me on my 40th. See?
This is the watch we just found.
Hey, maybe it's your game
that we're playing, Jerry.
You designed the doors.
It's your watch. What next?
For the love of god, Mrs. Paley!
Mrs. Paley, please don't!
Oh, my goodness. I think he's still alive.
Mrs. Paley, please!
Easy. Careful.
Max: Is there somebody in there?
Simon: Hey, Jerry, what do you see?
Oh, god, there's a guy down here.
Oh! The gravity's shifting!
What's happening? You ok? Huh?
You all right?
Hey. Hey, fella.
Oh, Jesus. Careful.
Uh! Is he alive?
I don't think so.
Let's roll him over.
[Gagging]
God, is he ripe!
Ugh! What... What is that?
Oh! He looks pretty dead to me.
Paley: Oh, I hope he's still alive.
He's been here for a while, Mrs. Paley.
Who do you think wrote these numbers?
He must have written them himself.
It's the same writing as those numbers we keep seeing.
Oh, no. It's poor Dr. rosenzweig.
You know him?
He'll never get his nobel prize now.
Who the hell is he?
Holy Christ. Phil rosenzweig.
The leading theoretical physicist in his field.
Which was?
Quantum chaos. Oh, god. Phil rosenzweig.
I read his book.
[Gasps]
Aah! Aah! Aah!
Uh!
Oh, Jesus.
Oh, my god.
Is he...
Kate, is he...
Yeah, he's gone.
You positive?
Mm-hmm.
Somebody.
I'm here, Sasha. Gotcha. Gotcha.
Does anyone understand these numbers?
I mean, what was he writing?
Maybe he was trying to calculate his way out of here.
It looks like he ran out of time.
How did old Mrs. Paley know him?
I don't know.
Hey, look. More numbers.
The same handwriting.
Max: The question is, did he solve it before he died?
Uh! She's ok.
Are you ok?
He must have finished it here. Look.
There it is again. 60659.
Max: How does that get us out of here?
It's got to mean something.
I don't know, but we better remember it.
You know, i wonder if he's got a...
Max: What are you doing?
Oh, that's disgusting.
Found a pen.
Hope you have better luck than he did.
Paley: No, no. This can't be happening.
Oh, dear. Oh, dear. No, just wait.
Oh, I am such an idiot. Oh, now wait a minute.
You know what? She's gonna drive me insane.
Paley: Oh, it was right here.
What is it, Mrs. Paley?
Izon, where are you?
I am such an idiot.
Did she say izon?
Izon, where are you?
You come back here this instant!
Who are you looking for, Mrs. Paley?
Ooh, have you seen my dog?
He's a darling little shih-tzu.
Darn it.
Her dog's name is izon? That's weird.
A weapons manufacturer. A weapons manufacturer.
Yes.
And you guys would know that because...
I read the papers.
Julia: Mrs. Paley.
Paley: Poor puppy.
Mrs. Paley, are you sure
you didn't just leave your dog at home?
Oh, no. He was right here.
Oh, I'm such an idiot!
Simon: This breaks my heart.
Mrs. Paley. Mrs. Paley.
What do you do for a living?
I knew I shouldn't have let him off the leash.
No, Mrs. Paley, before you retired, what did you do?
Oh, nothing very exciting. I was a theoretical mathematician.
Where did you work?
Oh, my head hurts.
At skippy research affiliates.
Yes, that's it.
It was a... What do you call it?
A think tank in Washington state.
She worked for skippy research affiliates,
and her dog's name was izon?
Mrs. Paley.
Is it possible that you worked
for izon research affiliates
and your dog's name is skippy?
How did you know where I worked?
She worked for a weapons manufacturer?
And she's a good friend of our nobel wannabe.
[Softly] I don't think
we should trust Mrs. funnyfarm.
I'm not crazy, and I'm not
hard-of-hearing either.
I told you no one would believe me.
Simon: Mrs. Paley...
What sort of research did you do at izon?
General, I will not be party to this insanity.
I'm not a general.
I don't care what Alex trusk says.
It's impossible, and what's more, it's inhuman.
Who's Alex...
Did she say Alex trusk?
Oh, Christ. We're dead.
This is really getting ridiculous.
Who is Alex trusk?
Max: Alex trusk, hacker extraordinaire.
He's a legend. This is exactly
the kind of twisted maze he'd create.
Alex trusk doesn't even exist.
Some things should never be created.
They exist for theoretical purposes only.
It would never last. Can't you understand that?
Ok. You're a shrink. Can you tell me...
What the hell is happening here?
You know, I would say that seeing the dead man
triggered some sort of emotional response...
Flashbacks, post-traumatic stress.
So she is connected to this, yeah?
Skippy?
Oh, I think i hear him.
Mrs. Paley. Mrs. Paley, don't.
Skippy.
Mrs. Paley.
Skippy.
[Door opens]
Oh, my.
Help me. Please.
Aah!
Don't trust the old cunt.
She's lying about everything.
Aah! Aah!
Simon: Jesus fucking Christ.
Sasha: What just happened?
Fuck. My head, man. I lost my fucking head!
Mrs. Paley opened the portal...
Did you see that?
[Everyone talking at once]
Wait, wait, wait. I have an idea.
I think that we're all tired.
We need to calm down, everybody.
Wait a minute! Wait a minute!
[Whistles]
Let me guess. You designed the floor, too.
You better have a really good fucking explanation, Jerry.
I know what just happened there was a little....
Shocking, you know,
but actually, it makes total sense,
if we're really in a multidimensional quantum environment.
Julia: English, please.
One fundamental idea of a quantum universe
is that parallel realities
can actually exist simultaneously.
Ok, how do you know that, Jerry?
All you designed were the door panels!
I read it in rosenzweig's book.
It was a big part of his theory, you know.
Look, what if whoever designed this... Stinking thing
somehow managed to create a place
where parallel realities can cross over like that?
So you're saying that what we just saw
were Simon and Mrs. Paley
in a parallel universe?
Yes, yes!
A universe where things turn out a little differently.
Max: Oh, please.
Think about it. Think about it.
Look, Simon, a few minutes before,
when you found the watch
and when you just realized that somebody else
had been marking numbers in the rooms, right?
Well, that's when I thought
that maybe we should leave markers behind
in case we doubled back and got sidetracked...
Things like a piece of clothing or jewelry.
Then I thought, what a pity it would be
to leave my watch,
but that I would do it if I had to.
Ok, Jerry, so what you're saying
we'd already gotten ourselves into such trouble
that you had decided that it was ok to leave your watch?
For crying out loud! What a load of crap!
There's got to be a logical explanation.
Yeah? What do you think that is, Max?
You think that this is
just an optical illusion or something?
Yeah. Sure. Why not?
Kate: Oh, that's a sane idea.
Why don't you just go ahead and open that door, then?
Have a look.
If you're so sure it's an optical illusion,
open the door and have a look.
You might want to just stand to the side there, pal,
in case that thing...
Fuck off, Jerry!
Simon: Hey, hold it!
All right? Don't open it.
Ok, say Jerry's right.
I mean, I think all of this is a hoax, ok?
And I think Jerry's either full of shit
or part of this experiment.
Shut the fuck up. I'm agreeing with you, Max.
You see, I think we're all pumped so full of l.S.D.,
and I think we're hidden in some c.I.A. Hospital
in area 51 or whatever.
But let's just say, on the off chance that Jerry...
Jerry's actually right, then what happens
if whatever the fuck it was in there
that killed the guy killed me?
What happens if that fucking thing gets in here?!
Huh?! What happens then?!
You're all crazy.
Hey, man. What are you doing?
Just don't fucking open the door.
What are you so scared of anyway?
I just saw my fucking head taken off
by something or other. How's that for starters?
Jerry: Hey, Simon, where did you get that knife, huh?
It's mine.
I collect knives.
Max: He had it when I first saw him.
Jerry: That's kind of convenient, don't you think?
If anybody's part of the experiment, maybe... Maybe you.
I've got it! I've got it! I've got it! I've got it!
Why don't we all just get some ice cream,
and everyone will feel a lot better about everything.
[Simon laughing]
You're funny, Mrs. Paley.
You really are. You're a funny old lady.
You're also cute and senile.
Hey! You leave her alone. She doesn't understand.
All right. She's already admitted working for izon,
one of the most powerful
weapons manufacturers in the world.
She recognized the figures on the wall.
And she knew the dead guy.
Now, maybe my alter ego wasn't all that wrong.
Maybe we shouldn't trust dear old Mrs. Paley.
Sasha: Maybe you're the one we shouldn't trust.
I beg your pardon?
Maybe you're the one we shouldn't trust.
Oh. You know, I'm going to ignore that, little girl,
because you're a cripple.
I think we should keep moving, huh?
After you.
Sasha: Kate, I'm really thirsty.
Kate: Me, too, sweetheart. Me, too.
Paley: I'm exhausted. Are we there yet?
Jerry: Come on, Mrs. Paley. Just hold on a little longer.
Kate: So, who's this Alex trusk person?
Max: Are you kidding? He programmed the virus
that crashed the Tokyo stock exchange 2 years ago.
He's the one that broke into the air-traffic control grid
and crashed those 2 air force jets in Nevada
to protest military spending.
Jerry: And you forgot the one about Alex trusk
being the first genetically engineered superhuman
bred in a test tube,
who now lives and walks amongst us.
Kate: Well, that sounds a bit far-fetched.
Alex trusk is a conspiracy theorist's wet dream.
He doesn't exist.
Max: Fine. Just keep fooling yourself.
Simon: Would you people just shut up and keep moving.
Julia: Do you really
believe this stuff about parallel universes?
Kate: If you'd asked me yesterday, I'd say no,
but this place changes your perception of what's possible.
Look, let's just keep this between us for now.
Yeah, yeah, ok.
So here's the deal.
I'm a private investigator.
I'm on a case... Missing persons.
Well, I think, given our current situation,
this counts as irony. Ha ha ha ha.
Yeah, right. I think they stuck me in here
because of her... Becky young.
They seem to have emptied
my pockets of everything else
but my knife and this...
Maybe as a message or a warning.
Here's the kicker.
Guess who she worked for.
Izon?
Oh. Ha ha.
Sasha: Kate.
Kate?
Kate, you have to wake up. There's...
Kate: What is it? What's wrong?
There's something here.
Do you see anything?
You're probably just dreaming or some...
Whoa.
There is... There is something.
What the hell is that?
Kate?
Kate, what do you see?
It's a square. It's just... Floating.
Max: What is it?
Paley: It's beautiful.
Simon: You recognize this too, Mrs. Paley?
Well, not exactly.
Sasha: What just happened?
Now there's 2.
It's multiplying.
Maybe it's the way out.
Max: More drugs. I want to know what this stuff is.
Kate: Maybe that's what a 4-dimensional object really looks like.
Simon: If that's the way out, how do we use it?
I hate it. It sounds wrong.
It's stunning... The math of it.
It's a perfect quadrangular oscillation.
It's moving. Mrs. Paley, no!
Aah!
Uh!
Oh, Jesus!
Get the fuck out of the way!
Jerry, you're hurt!
No, I'm ok. I'm ok.
Max: Look out!
Stay low.
Oh, my god!
Get out of here! Go on!
Come on, Mrs. Paley. It's time to go.
Over here. It looks safe.
Come on. Don't stare at it. Go!
Max: It's coming back!
Come on, Max!
Go, Julia! Go!
Paley: Oh, my baby!
We've got to go.
Simon: Come on, for Christ's sakes!
Oh, my god. Go. Go up the stairs.
Aah!
Come on, Mrs. Paley. Keep going.
No! No! Don't touch it.
Help!
Kate!
Sasha?
Aah!
Jerry!
Oh, Jesus!
No!
Sasha!
Don't do it, ok? Just get in here.
What the fuck are you doing?
She's gone, for Christ's sakes!
You want to end up like Jerry?!
Uh!
Sasha!
[Sasha screaming]
Kate!
You're a dead woman!
Oh. Oh, Jesus.
Sasha?
Kate, help!
Kate!
Kate, help!
I'm coming to get you.
Drop to the ground, Sasha, now.
Help me.
Ok, Sasha...
Now... I can see you, Sasha.
Flatten yourself against the wall on the ground
and crawl toward me.
I can't! I'm scared!
Well, you've got to move, or I can't come and get you.
Now move. Move towards me.
No! Stop, Sasha!
Don't Sasha!
Get down!
Aah! Damn it, Kate!
What do you want me to do?
Ok, just keep moving until you hit that corner,
and then stay put, all right?
Ok?
Sasha?
Ok? I'm almost there.
Just crawl on. Stay on the ground.
Good. You made it. I'm right behind you.
There you are. Keep your knees in.
Oh, god!
There you are. Ok? It's ok.
It's ok. You're good.
We're all ok.
What just happened?
I don't know.
I don't know, Sasha.
Oh, sweet Jesus.
It's shrinking. Now it can get us.
Please let it be quick.
Ok, this is what we're gonna do.
We're gonna make a run for it.
Yes, you can. You just got to hold onto me.
Now, we're gonna go to our right.
No, we're gonna go to the left, ok?
All right?
Ok?
Ok.
Ok, on the count of 3.
Just hold onto me.
1...
2...
3! Ok. I got you.
Oh, my god! Sasha, no!
Sasha, it responds to our movements.
Don't... Move.
Stay still.
Don't...
Oh, my god.
Is it gone?
Yeah. Yeah, it's gone.
Thank you!
Ok, we did it together.
Let's just get out of here
before it comes back, ok?
Now just go up the ladder, ok?
Kate.
Yeah? What?
I can smell it.
What?
Did someone die in here?
Yeah.
Jerry died.
Oh, no.
He was so nice.
We got to go. Here. We got to go, honey.
Just get up there,
one foot after the other.
Where are the others?
I think we're on our own.
Ok, you're doing good.
[Door opens]
I see a pattern.
Anyone connected to this...
This hypercube...
Eventually dies a very violent and painful death.
Paley: Oh!
I would hate for that
to happen to you, Mrs. Paley.
I would.
So drop the act...
And tell us how we get out of here, huh?
Huh?
Simon. Simon, that's enough!
Ok, shut up!
Simon... Shut up!
Ok.
Ok, Mrs. Paley, you ready to talk?
[Muffled]
Because I'm all ears.
I really don't need this operation, doctor.
I'm in perfect health. Please, just ask
my daughter-in-law over there.
She'll explain.
Ok? So I'm gonna give you one more chance, Mrs. Paley.
I'm gonna give you a last chance, ok?
You tell me what I need to know,
or I'm gonna have to kill you.
Do you understand?
I'm going to kill you.
It's your choice.
Simon, get away from her.
You have a choice to make right now...
Do you want to get out of here or not?
Yes, but...
There are no buts!
Hey, guys...
[Paley crying]
All right.
Oh, shit.
Shit. It's here.
It's gonna take my head off!
[Struggling]
Let's go.
What about Mrs. Paley?
Goddamn it! I'm not gonna die here.
You can't leave her.
Why should I help her?
Simon, she'll die if you leave her!
I'm gonna regret this.
Come on. I'm trying to get this fucking thing off!
Stay still, for Christ's sake!
Max: Come on! Hurry!
Would someone give me a hand?!
Someone help me to pick her up!
Oh, shit.
Let go of me! Let go of me!
Shit! I'm not fucking staying here!
I'm sorry, Mrs. Paley. I'm out of here.
Let go the fuck of me! Jesus Christ!
Oh, my god.
[Struggling]
Oh, god.
Where do you think you're going?
Hurry up.
Get back here.
What the hell?
It could mean anything.
Right.
Maybe it's a coordinate of some kind,
but in 4 dimensions.
Something... I don't know.
For all we know,
it could be somebody's birthday
or zip code or just a serial number.
God. You know, I wish i was just... Smarter.
Why do you think you're in here, Kate?
I don't know. Maybe I was just
in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Damn it. You know, there's got to be
some sort of meaning to this. 60659.
60659.
Maybe they just like to watch us squirm.
Max: He is the only one with the resources and brains
to create something like this.
Julia: Ok, Max. Say you're right.
Say it is Alex trusk who's responsible for all this.
I mean, does it help us get out?
No. We're still stuck here with no clue.
And if this is someone's game,
it isn't a fair one.
Max, I mean, do you think...
Max, we got to keep moving. Come on.
Max?
[Distorted]
Max, what's wrong with you?
[Distorted]
Holy shit! Variable time-speed rooms!
Yeah, I guess you could say that.
Uh!
Aah!
Holy jumping Jesus.
Get your hands off me!
Hello, Jerry.
Who the hell are you?
You don't recognize me?
No. Where am I? How do you know my name?
You don't know me?
No! Where the hell am I?
You don't...
Wait, wait, wait.
You don't remember me?
What about the senile old broad?
Or the little blind kid?
Or that thing that chopped you up
like little pieces of deli fucking meat, Jerry?!
Now look, friend,
I mean you no harm, huh?
Just let me go, and I'll be on my way.
Come on, Jerry.
You mean me no harm?
You're fucking hilarious, Jerry.
How long have you been in here, huh?
I don't know. I just woke up.
You just woke...
Holy shit.
So maybe you were right before, huh?
You or the other you or whatever.
This place does cross over
parallel alternate realities, huh?
Hey, look. Have you been drinking?
You know, I...
I really don't give a shit anymore.
What are you talking about, alternate realities?
Can I ask you a question, Jerry?
Do you mind?
Yeah, yeah. Ok. Sure.
Just... Just don't hurt me, huh?
Are you hungry?
Hmm? Are you... Hungry?
Yeah... I guess so.
My stomach's a little...
'Cause I'm hungry.
I'm fucking starving.
Oh, my god.
Kate... What is it?
Kate, what do... What do you see?
[Door closes]
Kate, what's going on?
I don't know, Sasha. I mean...
I think, in some other reality,
things didn't turn out so well.
Julia: Again with the Alex trusk.
Why are you so afraid of this Alex trusk?
Because he's ruthless. He's a high-tech genius
whose morals make muammar qaddafi
look like mother Theresa.
Because they're throwing anybody connected to this thing in here
to fucking die!
[Echoing]
Max, you're not connected.
Can you keep a secret?
Sure. I love secrets.
Last year, i designed
a computer game called relativity,
where contestants, linked to each other over the Internet,
do battle in a 3-d environment
using different time signatures.
What are you saying?
Are you saying that you designed all this?
Just these variable time-speed rooms,
just the concept.
It was for a game. Now here we are.
Wow. This is really some game, Max.
Do you have any other little secrets you want to tell me?
People are dead, ok?
I'm not responsible for this.
It was just a game.
I can't even sell the stupid thing.
It's all involved in a lawsuit.
What kind of lawsuit?
I don't know. Some...
Oh, right. You're a lawyer.
A company called cyber thrill stole it from me.
Cyber thrill?
Why? You've heard of them?
Yeah.
Are you into computer games?
Settle.
Excuse me?
I strongly recommend that you settle.
You'll never win.
How do you know that?
You're not up against cyber thrill.
They're just a subsidiary.
Who owns them?
Izon.
How do you know that?
Because I... I represent them.
[Echoing voice] Hello...
Anybody there?
Hello...
I must be hearing things.
[Echoing voice] Hello...
Jerry: Finally. I was beginning to wonder
if I was the only one in here.
Look, do you need a hand there?
You're upside down. Ha ha ha.
Do you have any idea what's going on here?
Careful. Careful. Watch your step there.
It's crazy.
You're not the only person here, Jerry.
There's lot of people just like you, Jerry.
Hey, buddy, how do you know my name?
We've met before, Jerry.
Yeah. Ooh, I get this mouth-watering feeling
when I talk to you, Jerry.
What do you mean?
Hey, come here. Look at this.
Hey! Hey! What?! Aah!
Look at this.
Aah! Aah!
Why don't you just go?
I'm blind, Kate.
I'm a burden.
You can move faster without me.
Sasha, please, I know how you're feeling.
No, you don't. You've no idea how I'm feeling.
Look, I know this seems hopeless...
No, it's not! I'm gonna figure this out!
"Figure it out."
Trust me, precious...
If I haven't figured it out,
you sure as shit aren't going to.
What did you just say?
I'm sorry, Kate. I didn't mean to...
No, no, no. Wait a second.
Back that up.
Why do you think
that you should be able to figure this out?
I wasn't kidnapped.
When I found out they were putting people in here,
I tried to blow the whistle on them.
So they came after me,
and I escaped into the one place
they wouldn't dare follow me...
In here.
Poetic justice, don't you think?
Who are you?
Max was right.
Jerry was wrong.
I exist.
Oh, my god.
Sasha. Of course.
Sasha is a nickname for Alexandra.
Alex trusk. Alex trusk.
Pleased to make your acquaintance.
This is the worst nightmare I've ever had.
I just wish I'd wake up.
You really think this is all a dream?
In the real world, I'd never kiss you.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
You're not my type.
You're not my type either.
[Door opens]
Aah!
Becky young.
Yeah.
"Rebecca young."
Yeah. Who...
Who are you?
Who am I? I'm Simon Grady.
Your parents hired me...
To find you.
Really?
Yeah, yeah.
Thank god!
Yeah. I'm happy to see you, too, Becky.
I've been wandering these rooms for hours.
Uh! Uh...
You got to love these parallel universes.
You built this thing?
I gave them the key to build it...
Better than they wanted.
I gave them a real hypercube.
Ok, so how do we get out?
Kate, this isn't a game.
There's no happy ending.
This place is out of control.
It's not stable.
Does this number mean nothing? 60659?
I mean, it's got to mean something.
It's everywhere.
I'm sorry, Kate. It's over.
No, it is not over.
Not yet.
Uh!
I refuse to die here.
What the hell?
Oh, my god. We've got to move!
Come on! We've got to get out of here.
Leave me!
No. You're coming with me.
Oh, my god.
We've got to get out of here.
Just go up as fast as you can.
Faster! Faster! Faster! Faster!
Keep going. Ok.
Good girl. Ok.
What the hell?
Oh, my god.
Ok, we've got to get out of here.
This is insane.
It's... Jerry's diagram.
It's all the numbers.
They're all just suddenly in here.
It's Jerry's markings and...
That dead physicist's equations...
And that damn colonel's corpse
just hanging there as if we never even rescued him.
Everything keeps appearing over and over and over again.
Please, you have to have some idea what this means.
All the realities are starting
to collapse into one space.
And what happens to us
when they... It collapses?
The whole thing implodes.
It's only a matter of time.
I'm not gonna just stand here while it happens.
Kate's voice: I'm not leaving him behind!
Simon: For god's sake, he's a dead man! Move!
Kate's voice: Oh, my god!
No! Let me go!
Simon: Kate, get the hell up here!
Oh, my god.
Sasha: Kate.
We don't have much time.
Uh!
No! I refuse to die here!
I wish I had your spirit, Kate.
Hello, gorgeous.
Miss me? Huh? Come on in.
The water's fine.
Uh! Aah!
[Sasha screams]
Hello, Kate.
Let her go. Who are you?
Yeah. Yeah, it's me.
Good old Simon.
Do you remember this? Huh? Do you?
Well, I've waited a long time for payback.
But that was just seconds ago.
Don't be so stupid, Kate.
You know time works differently in this place.
Hmm?
Uh!
Hey! Just... Ok.
Just... Just let her go.
She's just a kid.
Yes. And she'll be a dead little kid
unless you come here to papa.
Ok. Ok, Simon.
You just let her go,
and then we can figure something out, ok?
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
You take her place. Yeah?
What do you want?
I'm hungry.
Simon.
Hmm?
There's no point.
We're all dead anyway.
Oh. Oh. Ok.
No!
Well, come on, Kate.
The fun's just beginning.
Oh, my god.
What the hell?
Aah!
I'm really going to miss you, Kate.
Aah!
60659...
Of course.
60659.
It's an expiration date.
He figured out when it's gonna implode.
Man: Hello, Kate. Welcome back.
So, you figured it out.
Yes, sir. No time to spare.
The device... Any luck?
We'll take that to Darcy
and see if anything recorded on it.
[Gunshot]
[Telephone rings]
[Ring]
Sir?
Yes, sir.
Phase 2 is terminated.
I see.
Yes, sir. Right away, sir.
