This way.
He's right in there.
- Thank you.
What happened? - Hey. I'm okay.
I'm okay.
- Police called. I was so scared.
- Mr. and Mrs. Tynes?
This is Dr. Carlton Levy and I'm Dr. Rajiv Singhal.
- So, uh, what the hell's going on?
One minute I'm at the bus, next minute I wake up in here.
- Mr. Tynes, have you been experiencing
any headaches lately?
- Yeah.
Yeah, pretty bad ones.
- Well, this is your CT.
This mass is a, it's a glioblastoma,
an aggressive tumor.
It's malignant and, because of its location,
inoperable.
- Uh, this has to be wrong.
He runs, like, six miles every day.
- Mrs. Tynes, we're lucky to have Dr. Levy as a visiting attending.
He's one of the top oncological surgeons at Sloan Kettering.
We both concur on the diagnosis.
- I wish we were wrong, but unfortunately,
we're not.
- I don't care what they say.
We'll see every specialist there is,
go to the Mayo Clinic, Cedars...
- With what, Val? I have no insurance.
- Yes, you do. - No. No, you and the baby do.
I took myself off the policy months ago.
- Why would you do that?
- Because we have no money, Val.
- I'm all right. I'm all right.
- Listen, man, I'm, uh,
I'm real sorry you're going through all this.
Here.
There's this company always leaving those at the hospital.
They say they help sick people in trouble.
Maybe they can help you.
- Weeks?
Weeks?
- Val and I haven't had enough time together.
I'm angry.
I'm angry I'm gonna die.
I'm angry my son won't know me.
I'm angry this
fucking tumor's taking me from my family.
- There's options, you know, um,
holistic stuff.
I was watching TV the other day and this guy said
if you drink aloe, it does something to the pH in your body
and it kills the cancer, or, um,
tents where you sweat out the toxins,
or, I don't know,
there's healing crystals,
or Reiki, or acupuncture.
I just think... You know, we try other stuff.
We don't just accept this. There's options.
- 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's how you'll be hunted.
It's a 24-hour hunt.
Every hour you survive,
more money is being wired into your bank account,
and that continues until the game ends.
You survive the day, you walk away rich.
Don't,
you die a few weeks earlier
than you would've anyway, but you leave your family
set for life.
- I can't believe we're actually having this conversation.
- Well, after you called my office, I researched you.
Local boy made good, turning the city around.
Track star at Michigan, solid citizen. Dodge,
if I could wave a wand making you well, believe me, I would.
But that wand doesn't exist, and if it did,
you couldn't afford it.
- Is this how you find participants?
Lying to hospitals, telling them you can help their patients?
- I can help you, and that thrills me.
Might come as a surprise,
but I didn't grow up thinking this would be my calling.
I wanted to play goalie for the Red Wings.
Look, usually I'm dealing with trust fund babies
blowing inheritances, or degenerate gamblers.
I got a guy with a six-figure coke habit
on my call sheet right now.
Dodge,
you're the first terminal person we've found
who's actually fit enough to be a runner.
You're just a good man who caught a bad hand.
- Well, if I'm a good man, what's that make you?
- Your only hope.
If you want to consider this, there are rules,
most important of which is: once you commit, that's it.
No time-outs, no do-overs.
My clients want to make absolutely sure
you know exactly what you're getting into.
They want a fair hunt.
- Mm. What gentlemen.
- Oh, don't assume they're men.
Hunters can be men, women, black, white, butcher, baker,
candlestick maker-- anyone you run into
could be the last person you ever see.
Next rule: the game takes place in Detroit only.
If you leave the city's confines,
that's a violation, and then the game never ends.
It continues until you're killed.
Go to the cops or get yourself arrested, that's a violation.
You tell anyone what's going on, that's a violation.
It's just you and the five hunters
we've lined up for this run.
No I.D., no cash, no help; just you on your own.
- And the money part?
- Good, that means you're intrigued.
Top of the first hour,
$50,000 is wired
into your bank from an untraceable offshore account.
Next hour, $100,000.
Deposits increase 50 grand every hour until hour 20,
which pays a million,
and that increases by a million every hour after that,
culminating in the final hour,
which pays $5 million
for a grand total of... - $24.5 million.
- Yes, exactly why you'll be great at this game.
Smart, athletic, you know the terrain better than the hunters.
You can pull this off.
A few more things you need to know:
no guns.
Hunters need to get up close and personal.
They're gonna get real creative with this.
You have to carry this at all times.
It can only call me.
Every time you make it through another hour--
so right after your money's deposited-- it chimes twice,
giving up your exact location
for the next 15 seconds.
After that, you go dark again.
Don't think you can drop it on a bus and take off.
We find the cell and not you? That's a violation.
It'll make you a permanent player in the game.
Enough so you know I'm for real,
not enough to make a dent in your problems.
Suit yourself.
But if you change you mind...
here's my personal number.
Hopefully, I'll see you soon.
- I'll see you in hell first.
- No.
You'll get to go to Heaven, Dodge, when you die.
