Mr. Tynes.
He's ready for you.
- Dodge Tynes. Thanks for coming by.
- Mr. Sellars, thanks for seeing me.
- My pleasure. Call me Miles.
I wish you could call me Dodge. What a cool name.
Please, have a seat.
- My dad was a car nut. Worked the line.
- Yeah, everyone's dad in this town worked the line.
My old man welded floor pans.
When I was 14, he brought us
all the way here from Austria looking for the American dream,
and damn it if Detroit didn't give it to him.
You're a Wings fan? - Yeah.
- Well, I got Yzerman's stick
hanging above my mantle in my billiards room.
- I used to have Gordie Howe's jersey hanging in my closet.
- Authentic? Game worn?
- Oh, yeah. Had to sell it.
- Yeah, well...
I had a look at your medical file;
seems like money's been tight and luck's been bad.
I'm really sorry you're going through this, Dodge.
Pain comes with the territory?
- Yeah. Yeah, it usually clears up pretty quick.
Sorry.
Uh...
Look, Miles, I think you know my story.
If I just had some cash,
I could maybe get some treatment to buy me more time,
and, uh,
maybe see my son be born.
- That's the kind of conversation
that requires alcohol.
- Don't know if I should in my condition.
- In your condition, you should drink
whatever the hell you want.
It's the good stuff, I promise.
See?
- Yeah, I'd ask where you got it,
but I don't have the money and I'll probably be dead
before I finished the bottle. - Come on, kid,
don't talk like that.
Pessimism's not gonna help you
or your wife. The good news is, you're not the first person
to come to The Tiro Fund in a tough spot.
- You think a loan's possible?
I have a building for collateral, The Carrington.
- Well, Dodge, I really want to help you,
and I think I can,
but I know The Carrington. It's unfinished, unfunded.
I'd be the fourth lienholder in line.
I just can't loan the kind of money we're talking about
to someone who very likely might pass away
before he can even think about paying me back.
Now, I know that makes me sound like a bastard.
I promise I'm not. It's just...
I lost family members to cancer.
I've seen how unforgiving it can be.
- Yeah, it's okay. I get it.
So, what, you still think you can help me somehow?
- I do.
But I can't do it alone. I need your help,
your participation.
- Participation, how?
- Dodge, I am what you would call a facilitator.
I make possible the natural progression
of man's innate desire to be challenged.
- Right. Well, what does this have to do with me?
- You see, I represent a very exclusive, very wealthy
clientele who pay exorbitant fees for a unique,
one-of-a-kind experience
in a highly intense sport...
hunting.
And that's where your participation becomes integral.
- You'd want them to hunt me?
Like paintball?
Like tag or something?
Like you'd hunt an animal?
- The sport in its purest form.
A hunt to kill.
- Fuck me, you're serious.
- Now I can see in your face you want to just run out of here,
and you're welcome to do so,
only you'd be leaving as poor as you came.
Or you can hear me out and help your family
in a way that was unimaginable five minutes ago.
- You hunt innocent humans?
- No, we hunt desperate humans, with no glimmer of hope.
We provide optimism, not just to people like you.
For the most part, our hunters have snatched
all the brass rings life can offer.
We give them a challenge.
They're not going after paunchy 40-year-olds
with bad knees.
They battle physical specimens.
We satisfy their need to strive.
Not to mention what you'd be doing for me.
- For you? - I'd be helping you
and your wife and your unborn child.
You know, really helping a family in crisis.
What I do for a living
doesn't provide much opportunity to feel good about myself.
- No, I can't imagine it does.
Listen, I'm gonna go to the cops.
- To tell them what? You'd sound deranged,
and you'd be able to prove nothing.
- We'll see.
- You could leave your family millions.
Dodge.
How many times
since your diagnosis have you told yourself you'd do anything
to make sure your family's secure after you're gone?
Well, this is your chance to "do anything."
If you want to hear more,
I'll be finishing my drink on the balcony.
In my experience, it's best if I talk for a while
and you just listen with an open mind.
Can you do that for me, Dodge?
So... here is how you'll be hunted.
