Where's my phone?

Where the fuck am I?

Hey.

Hello!

Hello!

What the fuck?

What the fuck?

Fuck!

What the fuck?

I don't know where I'm at, man.

Where am I?

Anybody?

Would you
shut the fuck up?

It's loud enough in here
without you yelling in my ear.

Hello! You can hear me?

Huh?

Chill, man,
yes, I-I can hear you.

Oh, shit.

Hey, man. Who-who are you?

What's... What's going on, huh?

Oh, fuck, you're still
coming outta the hole, aren't you?

I gotta admit,
I'm-I'm kinda jealous.

What the fuck are
you talking about?

What hole? I don't... I'm
not supposed to be here.

It's the...
the propofol hole.

They dosed you.

Oh, fuck, you are gonna feel depressed
as a motherfucker for the next few days.

It's gonna suck.

And tomorrow's gonna be
rough for a few reasons.

What the fuck are
you talking about?

Fuck, I gotta
get back to work, man.

Listen, I'm gonna
holler at you later.

- I gotta go.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Hey, hey. Hey, hey. Hey.

Hey! Hey!

Hey.

What is this?

Fuck this shit.

Fuck this. Nah. No, no, no.

No, I'm not supposed to be here.

Wait, wait. Hold on.

Hey, look, look. Hey, come back.

Come back here.

Look, look, I need your help.

Pl-please, please
get me up outta here.

Back away.

Just hear me out.

I got, I got, I got a wife.

And she-she's pregnant.

I got a pregnant wife, man.

I'm not supposed to be here.

Please get me up outta here.

Back away, employee.

Employee? No, no. I'm-I'm-I'm
not... I'm not an employee.

I-I don't work
here at all, okay?

Work... I work at Mallard.

I'm-I'm a manager at Mallard.

That-that-that's right. I'm...
work on the fifth floor.

I'm not supposed to be here.

- I don't work here...
- How does it feel?!

Fuck!

Shit!

Where the fuck am I?

I don't deserve this. I'm
not supposed to be here.

I'm not supposed to be here.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck!

Shit.

Hello, Joe, and
welcome to advanced career training.

We are excited to have
you join our program

and are confident that you
will make significant progress

towards becoming the
best version of yourself.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey,
hey, hey, Mallard.

Uh, location, please.

Oh, no.

Hey, turn it back on!

Mallard! Mallard,
information, please.

Come on, come on, Mallard,
information please!

It's broken or something.

It's not broken.

It's working. Just not for us.

Hey, hey, hey, friend,
what's up, man?

What, what,
what, what's going on?

Uh, it's a
countdown to midnight.

What-what happens at midnight?

You'll see.

What do you mean I'll see?
What-what are you saying, huh?

Hey, I don't wanna ruin the
last few hours of peace you have left.

Peace?

You have
no fucking idea.

Come on, come on, just-just
let me know a little more.

Matter of fact, what, what,
what, what's your name?

Hey, everybody,
do we do names around here?

- Go fuck yourself!
- Fuck you!

Welcome
to the neighborhood.

The fuck you mean neighborhood?

Hello?

Who else is fuckin' here?

- Kiss my ass!
- Shut the fuck up!

I'm trying to fucking sleep!

This is so... Is this
fucking real, man?

Who are all these people?

They're your people.

What people? What the
fuck are you sayin'?

This is the
paperclip factory, my friend,

solving supply and demand
problems by eliminating

all of the people who
actually supply and demand.

It's where you're sent
when you piss off the duck.

Piss off the duck.

Piss off the duck. Piss off...

Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, no, no, no.

That's not Mallard.

Yeah.

You haven't figured it out?

This place is Mallard.

Wait, wait.

This place is Mallard?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

It can't be.

Yeah, it's not
gonna make any sense right now.

Forget it, but it will.

Just try to get some
sleep tonight, man.

Tomorrow is gonna be the
longest day of your life.

Whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa.

Please, I'm sorry.

I'll-I'll do better tomorrow.

I promise! I promise!

Anybody else hear that?

I'm sorry!

What the fuck is going on?

What the fuck?

No! No!

Oh, God!

This termination
is brought to you by Mallard Revive.

A comprehensive
health and wellness haven

meticulously designed to cater

to the multifaceted
aspects of your existence.

Our holistic approach

of your spiritual, physical,
and cognitive dimensions,

- Oh.

...where your
essence is our priority.

Happy Mallard morning.

Another beautiful day in
the neighborhood, right?

Right?

Right.

Cells must
be kept spotless.

Failure to dispose of waste will
result in severe punishment.

Wait, where you, where
do you want me to put it?

In the
corner, your shithole.

Clean up, or don't.

Hey, neighbor,
they're not fuckin' around.

Listen to what he said.

Put your shit in the shithole.

Oh! Hey.

Did you hear that last night?

Did I hear what?

The screams. What you mean what?

Oh, shit.
Yeah, last night.

Yeah, yep, I heard it.

Right, what was that?

It was our
nightly motivational speech.

Nightly motivational?

The-the-the screams
all that, that-that...

that happens every night?

Trust me,
you're gonna get used to it.

Hey, what did I say, man?
Don't forget your trash.

Fuck.

Oh, shit!

What the fuck?

Hey! Hey, hey. Uh...

Did-did-did some...
Did somebody die?

Somebody died. I saw
just... just saw some hair

and-and some bones,
a fuckin' skull.

Yeah, uh,
quite a few people did.

And odds are they're
not gonna be the last.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

This... This-this is a legit worldwide
trillion-dollar fucking company.

They wouldn't do no sick
shit like that, right?

They would do
it if you said they could.

Look, all of that onboarding
paperwork they had you sign, right?

Those non-disclosures, the
fine print, the shit like that.

Hey, did you read any of that?

Yeah, of course you
didn't. Nobody does.

Everybody gets so excited being
welcomed by the great Mallard,

but it gives them permission to do
just about anything they fucking want.

And everything has a cost.

Don't forget what they said.

You get out of it
what you put into it.

So the sooner you
settle into a rhythm,

the easier these
days are gonna get.

Days.

Days, days, days, days.

What-what...?

How long do they plan
on keeping us here?

As long
as it fucking takes.

Just do your job.

What job?

Now you wanna fuckin' work, huh?

Good morning,
Joe, I trust you slept well.

You know somethin'?

Where the fuck am I, huh?

What the fuck is this?

Joe, I
need you to listen.

I don't wanna fuckin'
listen! You know somethin'?

- Joe...
- No, shut up!

Hey, fuck that! You listen!

I'm not supposed to be
in this motherfucker!

I didn't do anything!

Only thing I ever done
was go to fucking work

for 10 years straight.

Now, look at me!

I'm trapped in this shit!

Get me the fuck outta here!

Whoever's in charge, whoever
got their hand in your ass,

tell them to let me
the fuck out now!

Fuck!

I believe
you're ready to listen.

Today begins your advanced
career training seminar.

Your opportunity.

Your last quarter's productivity dropped
while your use of personal time tripled.

Unlimited personal time is one of
our many generous employment perks.

Unfortunately,
during this period,

your department's overall
performance declined.

When your performance drops,
your department number lowers.

When your department numbers
lower, your division output drops.

When your division output drops,
the company performance declines,

as does the stock.

Don't undervalue yourself.

You're a crucial
part of our team.

Joe, you were once
the model employee,

but you've lost your
appreciation for this company

and all it has given you.

I'm here to help.

Let's discuss your new job.

The workday begins at 6:00
a.m. and ends at 10:00 p.m.

The hours between are your
own to do with as you like.

You work consists
of pushing the mill.

Employees earn a single point
for each full revolution.

Every day you are required
to meet your specified goal,

your daily quota.

Failure to meet your daily quota
will result in a punishment.

Your daily quota is 50.

Your quota is your
minimum target.

But at Mallard, good
enough isn't good enough.

Regardless of the quota,
at the end of each day,

the employee with the fewest
points will be terminated.

We understand.

We are not just a company.

We're a family.

We want you to keep
your job, your salary,

your corporate housing,
your company car, your life.

You're a crucial
part of our mission.

That's why we've brought
you here to help you grow.

We look forward to continuing our
working relationship at Mallard,

your company for life.

Have a great day.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

No, no, no, no, no. Hey,
hey, hey, hey, hey, listen.

Hey, I'm sorry. I'm
s... I'm so sorry.

I didn't, I didn't
mean to yell at first.

I... I gotta, I gotta
get back home to my wife.

Please, please let
me go back, please.

Please, I can't be
here. I can't be here.

I can't be. Hey, hey, hey, hey.

- We gotta get outta here.
- Stop.

Dude, help me get
the fuck outta here.

- Dude, stop!
- I need to get back to my wife.

The duck
doesn't fucking care, okay?

It doesn't care if you've
got a family back home.

We've all got families.

You are here now.

This is your fucking
world. That is it.

And there is no getting out of it,
not until they say you're ready.

So for now, man, you just
simply need to survive.

And the only way to
do that is to work.

Do you... Do you
hear what I'm saying?

You wanna live, you wanna
see whoever the fuck

you've got there on the
other side ever again,

then just do the work.

Twenty-five seconds.

It's pushing that thing, right?

I have to push
that thing, right?

Yeah, man, just
push the fuckin' thing.

Shit.

Ten seconds.

Three seconds.

Two seconds.

One second.

Come on, come on, come
on, come on, come on.

Congratulations on
your first revolution, Joe.

Discover tranquility

with Mallard Meditation.

Oh, here we go.

Hey, you
still there, neighbor?

Unfortunately.

So, how
many did you get?

A hundred.

Wow.

A hundred?

Is that a "wow,
good" or "wow, bad"?

Okay, let's just say

somebody else must've
had a really bad day.

You know what I
don't understand is,

so you don't make your quota,
you get punished, right?

But if you do make your
quota, you become last,

then you get killed.

So what's the point
of the quota, huh?

Good enough
isn't fucking good enough.

That's the Mallard way.

But I doubled my quota...

Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Stop, no. God.

What, what, what?

You do not go telling
people your quota, genius, okay?

'Cause as long as I do more
than you, my ass is safe.

You and I, we might be neighbors,
but we are not friends.

You get it? We are competition,
and don't forget that.

First of all, I want you to
hear me and hear me well.

I'm not dumb.

Right,
sure you're not.

No, I got 50,000 in student
debt that says I'm not.

Ooh, college man.

You don't even know, man.

I-I wasn't born with a
silver spoon in my mouth.

I worked my ass off to
get to where I'm at, okay?

Mm-hmm.

All the way to the
top of Mallard, huh?

They fed me the same
bullshit when I started.

They shoved it down
my fucking throat

with a big, fat signing bonus.

And that was more money than
I'd ever seen at the time.

And look at us now.

We made it.

Cheers.

This shit is fucked up, man.

How the fuck did I get
caught up in this bullshit?

I'm supposed to be
at home with my wife.

You know, she's
pregnant, you know?

With our first child.

We've been trying
for a while, too,

and finally, finally,
it's happening.

And I'm stuck in
this crazy shit.

Boy or girl?

It's a boy.

Joe Junior.

We gon' call him JJ.

So, you're Joe?

Yeah.

Well, Joe, I'm gonna
give you some real advice.

If you ever expect to
meet your little boy,

you just gotta do
this shit right.

The guy who was in
that cell before you,

he thought he was doing enough,

and he was really
smug about it, too.

And then the day before
yesterday, enough wasn't enough.

And now you're
there and he's gone.

Okay, and? Look,
I'll just go harder.

Yeah, but
no, if you go too hard,

they're gonna expect
that all the time.

That's the whole game.

Have fun.

So?

I mean, what do you think?

Um, I mean, it's... big.

Hmm.

Do we really want all this?

Babe, Babe, Babe,
look, hear me out.

I'm doing this for us.

Hmm.

This is everything
we worked for.

You're lucky you cute when
you're being convincing.

Well, we are
at Mallard Crossing.

Ooh, ooh.

Wow.

Oh, tomorrow's the
12-week check-in.

You took the time off, right?

Yeah.

Joe, what?

We gotta prioritize, babe.

This isn't gonna get any easier.

- Oh.
- Everything okay?

Something's wrong.

The time
is now 10 o'clock.

Your work is
complete for the day.

Thank you for your
continued commitment

to self-improvement, Joe.

Employee.

Yeah?

Evening, employee.

Go ahead and approach the door.

Approach the door?

No, no,
no, no, no, no, no.

Um, hey, I-I-I-I
made 1-150 today.

- I-I tripled my quota.
- Good for you.

Approach the goddamn door.

Please, please,
please, please. Uh...

I thought I, I thought
I did everything right.

Approach the fucking door!

Now, stop.

Remove your clothes.

Take off your clothes.

Wh-why... Why you
want me to do that?

Because I said so.

Seriously, why-why-why you
need me to take off my...

Come on, take 'em off.

Okay, okay, okay.

Take 'em off.

Take 'em off.

Oh, no.
No, no, no, no, no.

Everything.

Now, walk through the door.

Step forward.

Hey!

Whoa!

It's a
scorcher today, man.

It's way hotter than last week.

Why are we doing this?

To not die?

No shit.

That's not what
I'm talking about.

Like, what is this? What...

What's this fucking mill, huh?

It's nothing.

What do you mean it's nothing?

We're not grinding
wheat or making electricity,

or creating anything of value,

tangible or perceived.

This has no purpose.

This is nothing.

Nothing?

So what's the point?

Exactly.

Fuck!

It's too damn hot, man.

I need... I need
some more water.

Mallard, I need,
I need some water.

Guard?

Guard, water!

Do you think that sick
fuck is gonna fix you a cocktail?

- Come on.
- Shut the fuck up.

Hey, please, I need
something to drink.

I need some water.

I get it,
I get it, I get it.

I-I got... I have
a solution, okay?

There's a pillar over there
that Mallard can't see behind.

Do you see it?

Yeah, I see it.

Okay, so, hide
some bottles back there.

Fill 'em with your piss, and
then you have to drink it.

You want me to drink

my piss?

Fuck,
no, not straight.

You gotta filter it through
the insoles of your shoes.

Are you fuckin' crazy?

I'm not pouring piss
in my fucking Jordans.

Oh, Jesus.

Joe, Mallard is perfect.

It knows how much water

you need to survive,
man, to the ounce.

She is gonna give you just
enough to keep you alive.

This place, it has a way of
showing you what you're capable of.

That's what Mallard wants,
to know how far you can go

before you break.

Is that what Mallard wants?

That's what Mallard gon' get.

How do they, um,

how do they expect us to
pay all these medical bills?

Hey, hey,
don't worry about it.

I-I'll just work a lot harder.

I'll just
work a lot harder.

You can't do this by yourself.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, you...

No, you're not
going back to work.

You heard what the doctor said.

There's a chance you
could lose the baby.

If I don't go back to work,

there's a chance we
could lose the house.

Mallard's supposed to level
me up any day now. Any day now.

They've been telling
you the same thing for years,

and you still believe them?

Yes.

Yes.

The question is, do you
still believe in me?

This child of ours is
gonna have a better life

than any of us ever did.

Is this what better feels like?

Joe, today's
performance serves as an exemplar

of your ever-ascending
capabilities.

Hell, yeah.

Is that what you wanted?

By embracing the
challenge of exploring your limits,

you are forging a path toward the
promise of your innate potential,

perpetuating the cycle of
growth and self-discovery.

Hey.

Hey, you-you there?

Hey. Who's Alex?

Who?

You heard me. Alex.

Who is that?

How do
you know about Alex?

W... Was he the,
was he the smug guy?

Was he, was he the guy
that-that was here before me?

Yeah, um, Alex is
a bit of a legend around here.

He's the guy who got out.

He escaped?

He got out.

So wait, wait, wait. He got out.

How is this place
still operating?

He didn't tell anyone
about this place?

I don't know.

Maybe he didn't want to.

Maybe he couldn't.

Bullshit.

I know if I left this
motherfucker, I'd tell everybody.

Good morning, Joe.

Congratulations. You performed
excellent work yesterday.

We thank you for your
incredible efforts.

Please accept this token
of our appreciation

to commemorate your
amazing achievement.

Oh.

A pen.

Not just
any pen, look closer.

Ohh!

Wow.

You guys

engraved, engraved
my name in the pen.

Wow, this is...

I mean, this is, uh...

This is fuckin' stupid!

A fucking pen? What am I
gonna do with this shit?

I don't even have any
fuckin' paper around here.

Huh?

Fuck y'all, man, fuckin'...

370?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

This was just 50 yesterday.

Do you wish
to file a complaint?

Look, I can't... I
can't do that again.

People don't know
what they're capable of.

They cling to their
limiting beliefs,

never knowing that just beyond
their doubts is greatness.

Like children, they
just need a push.

Look, look, I can't
do that many again.

You see me? Look at
my fuckin' hands.

It's hard, Joe,
but so is changing the world.

That's what we're doing,
all of us together.

Now would be a great time
to take the first step

towards an even better future.

Fuck you!

Fuck you, and fuck
that fuckin' pen!

Fuck!

Hey, I-I...

I went past the
green mark, and it...

It didn't, it didn't
give me my point.

Are y'all fuckin' with me?

Huh?

Hey, man,
what's the problem?

It's not giving me my points.

Oh, shit,
dude, are you in penalty?

What?

Penalty. What-what's that?

The middle
of the scoreboard.

Look. Is there a little X?

Yeah, it is.

Those
are your penalties.

They're a bitch, and
they're exponential.

Wait, wait, wait.

Penalty. How did I, how
did I get a penalty?

Alright, look. One X means it
takes two revolutions to score one point.

Two X's, it's four revolutions,
and then eight, and then 16.

Then, well, shit, at that point,
you might as well give up.

Hey.

Hey, that's impossible.

You expect me to
do double the work?

Oh, fuck!

Human history is a story of
chaos, war, disease, nations falling.

Do you really trust your hard-earned
money to a failing government?

Hey, Joe.

Everything okay in there, man?

You've been real quiet today.

I can't hit it.

Oh, come
on, you have to.

We covered this.

I can't.

I can't.

I could do 370, but I can't.

Not-not with the
penalty, you know.

Wait, penalty 3-370?

So you-you have... you have 740?

700 and fucking 40?

- 740?
- How much?

Fuck, Joe, what the
fuck is wrong with you, man?

You asshole.

You're gonna get
us fucking killed!

Are you fucking kidding me?!

Told you, do not
burn yourself out!

I told you, man, not
to fuck with Mallard,

and you didn't fucking listen!

- Shut up.
- Goddamn you!

- You didn't listen.
- Shut up!

You fucking idiot.

You hit 740, and now
we have to hit 740.

Don't you understand?

We're paying for your
fucking mistakes!

Fuck you, Joe! Fuck you!

The time
is now 10 o'clock.

Your work is
complete for the day.

You did not meet
your daily quota.

You gave me a penalty.

You gave
it to yourself.

You let down your
fellow employees.

Care for your fellow workers is
one of our core company values.

Values.

Clearly, we haven't
given you the proper motivation.

Perhaps you need a new coworker.

What is this?

Kate Stevens.

No. No, no. No,
no, no, no, no, no.

No, she's... she's not even
supposed to be on her feet.

Data collected
from your Mallard home

indicates her lack
of employment.

Perhaps we could solve
all your problems

by offering her a job... here.

No. No, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no.

She's... she's not supposed
to be walking around.

Our Mallard team will
gladly aid in her relocation.

Kate...

Not Kate.

She don't need to be here, okay?

She don't deserve this.

Hey, hey, I'll do better.

I'll do... I'll do better.

I'll-I'll-I'll do everything.

I-I-I'll get the 740.

I'll do whatever you need
me to do. Just don't...

Please, just don't...

Don't-don't bring
her here, please.

Please, please,
please, please, please.

That's
wonderful to hear.

Meet your quota tomorrow and
the penalty will go away.

We are pleased to present you
with an additional challenge

as a token of our appreciation

for your dedication
to self-improvement.

We hope this challenge will
serve as further motivation

for you to continue
pushing yourself

towards achieving your goals.

Thank you for your commitment
to self-improvement, Joe.

You gonna roast me?

Huh?

Fuck.

This evening's termination is
graciously presented by Mallard Travel.

Escape the mundane
and spread your wings

with our distinguished environment...

as we transport you to destinations
beyond your wildest dreams.

Mallard Travel, elevating your
journey to unparalleled heights.

Oh, shit.

Good morning, Joe.

Sleep well?

I've had better.

Remember
until we are challenged,

we don't really know
what we can achieve.

Take advantage of today's
opportunity for growth.

Give it 110%.

Make this a productive day.

Mallard man,
look at you now.

Hey, Joe.

Ooh.

You really, uh,

really outdid
yourself this time.

Dusty, stankin',
dirty-ass fucking jail.

Please, just, please,
just, just, just go, okay?

I'm so close.

So you consider this close?

You, you think
that you're close?

Just, just go, just
please, please, please.

Let me finish. Just let
me finish my work, please.

Ah, there you go, Joe.

Believing
that bullshit, hmm?

Mm-hmm, your entire life,
you've been telling yourself,

"Oh, you the man, Joe,
and you can do it.

"You just gotta push yourself,

and they're gonna
reward you someday."

The same bullshit.

Huh?

Has it worked for you?

Huh, Joe? Has it, has
it ever worked for you?

Just keep going.

You fucked up.

You believed in something
that didn't believe in you.

And now look at you.

You're fucked.

You should just quit.

Come on now. We
know how this ends.

You can't win.

You won't win.

You won't fuckin' win!

You fucked Kate over,
left her all alone

with a baby that you'll
never fucking meet!

- Fuck you. Fuck you.
- That's right.

Your son will grow
up without a father.

- Not true.
- Maybe it's a good thing.

- I'm gonna be a father to my son.
- Just fuckin' stop.

I will be a father to my son.

Just fuckin' quit!

I will be a father to my son.

You won't win!

- Just quit!
- Fuck you. Fuck you.

- Just fuckin' quit!
- Fuck you, fuck you.

Just stop!

Fuck you!

Just fuckin' quit!

Just fuckin' quit!

Joe, in successfully
accomplishing the designated quota,

you have effectively nullified
the previously imposed penalty.

It is our fervent hope that,
within the crucible of adversity,

you have unearthed
newfound resilience.

That's right.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah!

You won't break me.

Your improvement in
productivity is remarkable.

You should have great pride in the
work ethic you displayed today.

When do I go home?

You are
well on your way.

All of us at Mallard
believe in you.

Please accept a token of
appreciation for today's hard work.

What, another fuckin' pen?

No.

Motivation.

My God.

Congratulations, Dad.

No, no.

I didn't...

How could I miss this?

How long have I been here?

This moment
has been brought to you

by the friendly faces
at Mallard Kids Wear.

From the moment you're
born, Mallard is there.

No, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no. No, no.

Turn it back on.

Can I, can I see 'em again?

Please?

I'm a dad.

Oh, man, I'm a dad.

Shit, man.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey!

Morning, neighbor.

I guess someone hit his quota.

Hey, man, fuck you!

Oh, boy.

Woke up on the wrong side of the
dirt patch this morning, huh?

See, you think everything
a fuckin' joke?

Okay, I'm serious.

I need that information on
how Alex got outta here.

- Why?
- Look, okay?

I'm not trying to be an asshole.

Last night, they showed a video

of my wife, Kate,

having our son.

If you know anything,
please just let me know.

You know,
I have a family, too.

I-I have a son,

and he would be, um...

Shit, I don't, I don't
even know. Older?

I guess old enough to hate me.

But, uh, I got to hold
my son when he was born.

I got to watch
him take his first steps.

I heard him call me
"dad."

That's the
difference between you and me, Joe.

And I just wish I
could see him again.

Actually,
maybe I don't.

Maybe what I actually hope
is that every day he wakes up

thinking about the father
who chose work over him.

Maybe I hope he knows that
I'm a fucking asshole,

and I hope he grows up hating
me enough to be nothing like me.

And I don't
want that for you, man.

So, fuck it.

On the opposite wall, in
that blind spot behind the pillar,

you'll know it when you see it.

Thank you.

Good luck, man.

I don't fuckin' see anything.

Hmm.

Oh, shit.

Wait, wait, wait.

Wait a minute.

Okay, okay, okay, okay.

Okay, see past the pillar.

That goddamn pen.

That motherfuckin' pen.

Oh, these cheap motherfuckers.

They didn't even
patch this shit up.

...where the
art of gourmet indulgence

and convivial ambience
seamlessly intertwine.

Savor the symphony
of exquisite flav...

meticulously forged
each exquisite creation,

encapsulating the
essence of luxury.

Tonight is the night.

What's the plan?

I don't...
I don't know.

I didn't know I was
gonna get this far.

I guess I'm just
gonna have to see.

Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no, no.

Shit.

- Oh, shit.
- Nighty night.

No.

No. No.

No.

Fuck!

No!

I thought
you were growing, Joe.

But I can see that you still don't
believe the rules apply to you.

You have so much promise,

and there's been a substantial
investment made in you.

That's why we are offering
you another opportunity

despite your
behavior last night.

You are so focused
on your own interests

that you are missing
the big picture.

Perhaps you would respond
to other incentives.

The fuck else can you do?

Hey, hey, hey,
hey. The fuck is this?

Hey, hey. Hey!

Ow, fuck! Oh, God!

Oh, what the fuck?

Your accomplice
has now been punished.

The quota for our entire
workforce has been raised

to 1,000 revolutions per day.

Your workday will
begin in five minutes.

A thousand?

Good luck.

Impossible!

Oh, no. No.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.

You-you okay?

I can't stand, man!

They broke my fucking leg!

It's busted to
shit! Motherfucker.

Oh, shit. Look, I'm
sorry, man. I'm so sorry.

I can't do
a fuckin' 1,000, man.

I can't even do one.

I can't fucking stand.

I'm so sorry, man. I
didn't... I didn't mean to.

But you, but you, but you
got to. You can do this, man.

You got, you have no choice.

I can't,
man. It's fucking over!

There aren't fucking
sick days here, man.

It's a zero-sum game. Trust me.

We aren't in charge in here.

The fucking algorithms are.

They make all the
fucking decisions.

They built this place. They
run the whole fucking system.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

We-we're controlled
by a computer?

Oh, my God.

You wanna know the
best part, Joe?

What?

I helped
them build it.

I was in IT.

They wanted us to
get the fucking numbers up,

so we built the algorithm.

It was a language
and reasoning model

like no one had
ever seen before.

It was the kind of shit that
nobody outside of Mallard

would even believe could exist.

And-and then guess what?

Our algorithm, it built
its own algorithm,

which then built
its own algorithm.

And we don't even know how
it fucking works anymore.

But it got me promoted, so, yay.

Then I started to wonder
if that shit running

the world's most powerful
multinational corporation

was such a good idea.

I guess, I-I shouldn't have
wondered that out loud.

You can't reason with
an equation, man.

It's just an algorithm.

It's just a computer.

Wait a minute.

A computer has to
follow... the rules.

What the fuck
are you talking about?

Look, this-this could
be a long shot, but,

if we don't work, right,

and a computer goes
exactly by the rules,

like none of us work,

that means zero points for
anybody on the scoreboard.

No-nobody dies, right?

Uh, I mean, yeah.

I guess in, in theory,
if there's not a low man,

it could, I guess,
exploit a vulnerability

in the programming language or
something, but... but what...

Wait, what if that doesn't work?

What do we have to lose?

You have two minutes
before your workday begins.

Okay. Okay. Hey.

Shut the fuck up, Joe.

Just-just hear me
out real quick, okay?

Look, what they have us doing,

it's no end game to it.

There is no way we
can beat this shit

by the system they
got us working for.

Shut the fuck up.

Pushing this big
fuckin' stone, wooden...

I don't even know what
the fuck this is...

Shut the fuck up!

Around for hours and
hours of the day,

basically killing us one by one!

We're being controlled
by a fuckin' machine!

- Fuck the duck.
- Yeah! Fuck the duck!

We are people!

We're more than just numbers.

We're flesh and fuckin' blood.

And we could take
this motherfucker out,

but we all gotta
stick together, okay?

You have one minute
before your workday begins.

If we don't work,

we won't die!

Yeah!

Do you hear me? If we
don't work, we won't die!

We won't die!

We don't fuckin' work!

We don't die!

We don't fuckin' work!

We
don't fuckin' work!

We don't fuckin' work!

We don't fuckin' work!

We
don't fuckin' work!

We don't fuckin' work!

Fuck the duck!

We don't fuckin' work!

We're not fuckin' working!

We're
not fuckin' working!

We
don't fuckin' work!

We
don't fuckin' work!

We
don't fuckin' work!

We don't fuckin' work!

- We don't fuckin' work!
- We don't fuckin' work.

We
don't fuckin' work!

We don't fuckin' work!

We don't fuckin'...

Life
is unpredictable,

but your family's future
doesn't have to be.

Trust Mallard Life Insurance
to provide reliable coverage

tailored to your needs.

Our team is here to guide
you every step of the way.

We look forward to providing
you with comprehensive coverage

and peace of mind for when
you're no longer there.

Hey, Joe,
you fuckin' asshole.

It worked.

I got out-engineered
by a middle manager.

Joe, I'm
afraid your understanding

of the rules is flawed.

To clarify, any employee
who records zero revolutions

will face immediate termination.

I'm
not dying for you.

No, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no.

No, no, no, who did that?

Hey.

Hey, stop it.

I'm
not dying for you.

No, no, no, it's
not about me, huh?

We-we gotta stick together.

Stop! Please, don't do this.

Don't let them win!

We... we won't die, okay?

They can't win if
we stick together!

What the fuck is
wrong with y'all?

Stop!

Fuck!

We gotta stick together!

Stop it.

Stop it!

Stop it!

Stop!

Joe.

Come here.

Stop it. Stop. Stop, y'all.

Come on. Stop working.

You know
what you have to do.

We agreed. Come on.

No.

No, no, no.

No, no, no.

No, I can't do it.
I can't do it, man.

- Joe.
- I-I-I can't.

- I can't.
- Joe, man, it's alright.

You tried. You...

You did good.

You're a good man.

JJ is a lucky kid.

You're gonna be such
a good dad, Joe.

Now, do what you need to do
and get the fuck out of here

so you can meet your son.

I'm sorry, man.

Hey.

Have you ever noticed how
beautiful this sky is at night?

Uh...

I had never noticed it before.

I could have been looking
up this whole fuckin' time.

I'm gonna die a
cliché, Joe.

No, you won't.

This is gon' baffle me forever,

so you gotta answer
this question.

What is your name?

Uh... nope. Mm-mm.

Remember the rules?

- I don't do names.
- Enough of that bullshit.

Look, I know you don't
do names, but, come on.

You-you gotta tell me.

Alex.

Nah.

Alex, the name engraved...

You're, you're the Alex?

Yep.

Surprise!

Man, wh...

Why-why you ain't tell nobody?

I told you,
man, I couldn't.

I got out of my cell.

I thought I was in the clear,

and then I just got tossed
right back in, just like you.

I thought maybe with
you that, I don't know,

it would be different.

I thought that I
was just unlucky,

but turns out maybe
we're all fucked, right?

There's no escape.

This is just some kinda
loop, an eternal recurrence,

a return to the very
worst moment of your life

over and over and over again.

The only regret I have is

that I never figured out a
way to burn this place down.

You should get some sleep, man.

You've gotta get
back to it tomorrow.

Farewell, my friend.

Alright, fuckers, just get
me the fuck outta here already.

Come on, you cancerous fucks,
give me your best shot.

Fuck you!

Oh! Oh! Oh, f...

Fucking assholes!

Fuck Mallard!

Oh!

Shit! Ohh!

Oh, my God.

Ow, shit!

Ow, fuck!

This evening's termination
is brought to you by Mallard Trust,

where your aspirations transcend
the boundaries of time,

safeguarding prosperity
for the future.

Good morning, Joe.

We understand that this is
a challenging time for you.

We want to offer our
support by providing

a token of our commitment to
your growth and development.

We hope that this gesture
will serve as a reminder

to stay focused on your goals.

No, I couldn't
be here that long.

Fuck you.

Fuck you.

Fuck you!

Fuck you!

You don't seem
to appreciate our gift.

Fuck you! You took
everything from me!

You took everything
from me! Fuck you!

This behavior
is unacceptable.

I've done so much for
this fuckin' company.

I sacrificed so much, and
you took everything from me!

Everything!

Fuck this!

Damage to company property
will result in immediate termination.

I don't
give a fuck no more!

You are
leaving us no option.

What the fuck you gonna do?

You're a
productive worker, Joe,

but you no longer fit
our corporate culture.

We regret to inform you your
services are no longer required.

Your employment will
now be terminated.

Good!

Do it!

Good luck, Joe.

Hey.

Hey, hey, hey.

Hey, um...

Hey, hey, hey.

Who...?

What's going on, huh?

Can somebody tell me
what-what's-what's going on?

Hey, anybody?

Come on, come on.
Talk to me. Come...

What's going on?

Please tell me what
the fuck is happenin'.

Why am I fuckin' here?

Huh?

Somebody say... somebody
talk to me, please.

Talk-talk to me. Talk to
me, please. What's going on?

Please talk to me.
Talk... Somebody...

Why the fuck y'all
not talking back?

What's going on?

Huh?

Who the fuck runs
this shit, huh?

Who's controlling the
fuckin' computer, huh?

Who's controlling the duck?

Talk to me!

What the fuck is going on?

Huh?

Hiya, Joe.

Happy Mallard morning.

I love my job.

Every goddamn part.

But there is nothing,

nothing I love more
than a termination.

You meet the team?

Human resources.

Twelve witnesses to
each termination.

Everything's documented.

After all, we're a
publicly traded company,

and everyone is part
of the Mallard family.

Now what is it with
you management types?

I mean, Mallard has given
you the whole world,

but you still want more.

And, you know,

I have my annual
review coming up.

Maybe Mallard will level me up.

They might even move me
to Mallard Crossings.

I hear there'll
be a vacancy soon.

Yeah, 1431 Parkway Drive.

Wonderful family lives there,

little boy,

single mom.

Yeah.

She's a real piece of ass.

Shit, maybe she'll even stay.

Shut the fuck up! Fucking...

Stay the fuck away
from my family.

Joe, the guard
has failed his task.

Fuck...

The penalty for
which is immediate termination.

In exchange for completing
this assignment,

your termination
order will be revoked,

and you'll be promoted
to level nine.

Then, you will
find your purpose.

Come on, Joe.

Do it.

Do it, Joe.

Do it.

Do it.

- Do it, Joe.
- Joe.

Do it.

Joe.

Joe.

Mm-mm.

I'm not a monster.

I'm not a monster.

I'm not a fuckin' monster!

You are!

I'm not a monster!

And you're not
gonna make me one.

You're all monsters!

Every last one of y'all!

You know somethin'?

I'm glad y'all are here.

I'm glad you're fuckin' here

'cause I want you to hear
me and hear me clearly.

I... fuckin'... quit!

Hiya, Joe.

Johnny, your HR partner.

You've just experienced our
advanced career training simulation.

It's okay.

The tech can leave
you a little foggy.

It'll come back. I
just came out myself.

Oh, nice.

Sorry,
I missed lunch.

What am I thinking?
You missed lunch, too.

You want some of
these chips, bro?

You volunteered for our
lunchtime improvement program.

You give us 60 minutes, come
back refreshed and ready

with a new appreciation
for your work at Mallard.

I know it feels like you
were in there for months.

Feels that way to
me, too, believe me,

but, uh, it was only an hour.

It was all manufactured, the
space, the passage of time,

like a video game.

For example, your son, he
hasn't even been born yet.

And obviously, you didn't smash
my face in, right?

Yes, you were struggling
to break through the ranks

of middle management,
stuck at level eight.

But watching you in there,
Mallard realized something.

You weren't struggling 'cause
you weren't good enough.

You're too good,
you know. Slow it down.

No, you just weren't
being challenged,

so... we threw some
challenges your way.

And look at this.

Boom, your productivity spiked.

Your leadership
was off the charts,

uh, creativity, ingenuity,
that little coup you staged.

That's big stuff.

I mean, you showed a
willingness to fight.

You're an outside-the-box
thinker, Joe.

Leadership material.

Oh, and I know I said that Mallard
was watching you the whole time.

It's more like,

Mallard was inside your head.

Oh! Noon o'clock.

Time to check out
your new office.

Come on, buddy.

The Mallard
corporate ranks are endless.

Most days, it feels like you
could keep climbing forever.

Now, this is us,
floor 66, management.

Probably never been
this high before, huh?

It's a lot to take in.

Yeah.

Somehow the-the air is,

I don't know, different up here.

It's... better, you know?

I know how it feels.

You give years to Mallard,

start having dreams at
night you're still at work.

Stock goes up, company gets
bigger, and you start to wonder,

"Does anyone here
even know I'm alive?"

Well, I do.

Mallard does, and now
you're being rewarded.

Come on, this way.

Hey, Mallard.

Yes, Johnny?

Look who's here.

Welcome to
upper management, Joe.

We look forward to your
continued improvement.

Have a great day.

Isn't she the best?

You no longer
fit our corporate culture.

- Good luck, Joe.
- Fuck you!

Welcome to your new home.

We found this in your
data and loaded it up.

Thought we'd make your
home screen feel like home.

Your tablet is loaded
up with training videos.

You have till 7:00 p.m. to
watch your quota of 10 videos.

Cafeteria's open if
you need to stay late.

Mallard makes a
hell of a bologna.

I'll be sending over your
perk package, housing upgrade,

vehicle upgrade,
bonus structure.

Oh, and one more thing.

Your standard NDA.

Discussing the nature of Mallard's
proprietary career training

will lead to an
immediate termination.

Can't tell your
coworkers, superiors,

underlings, mom,
wife, priest, nobody.

We wouldn't wanna undermine the
effectiveness of the simulation.

Understood?

What am I saying? Of
course, you understand.

You're a Mallard man.

Sign right here.

Do it, Joe.

Took everything!

Congratulations, Joe.

Mallard truly is your company

for life.

Mallard,

call Kate.

Calling
Kate Stevens.

A midday call?

Who died?

Joe?

Baby, are you there?

Um...

Babe.

Yeah, I'm here.

I-I just, um...

First of all, I just wanted
to hear your voice.

And, um,

call you and tell
you I love you.

Ten years you've
been at this job,

and you have never
called me during work.

I just, um...

I don't know.

I just miss you.

I've, uh, had a...
I've had a very, um,

long and interesting day.

Oh, hold on, hold on.

Oh, my goodness, JJ's kicking.

He recognizes your voice.

Oh, that's so sweet.

Look, um, I'll be
home late tonight.

I'm working a little late, okay?

Again?

This time it's-it's...

This time it's different.

Joe.

Can you, can you do me
a favor and-and, um,

put the, put the
phone to your belly?

Hey, JJ.

Can't wait to meet you.

All right, baby, I'll call
you... I-I'll see you later.

I-I'll be home later, okay?

Okay. I love you.

Love you.

I will be a father to my son.

I will be a father to my son.

I will be a father to my son.

...your
company for life.

I'm gonna burn

this motherfucker down.

We hope your journey
through tonight's feature presentation

has been both enjoyable
and enlightening.

We trust you were stirred to evaluate
and conquer your personal quotas

today, tomorrow,
and into the future.

Mallard, your company for life.
