Original subtitles

Hey, baby. What are you doing? You're not supposed to play with that.

Give it to me, yeah.

Look at this.

- Me. - Yeah.

You're beautiful.

I can't believe this, Kyle.

Do you ever think of how I feel

when I see you risking your life

jumping from one skyscraper to another?

If you're watching it online,

it means I survived, right?

At least I think I did.

Hey, it used to excite you.

Yeah, when we were 16.

Wait, how was it again, uh?

If nothing goes right, go faster.

You know what?

Is that how you deal with your problems, Kyle?

That's the type of bullshit Max puts in your brain.

Why do you always have to bring Max into this?

'Cause if he was a real friend,

he would help you put some serious money together,

not just crumbs from a YouTube channel.

Kyle, I think we need, uh car insurance, health insurance,

Mia's medication, uh we need to pay our mortgage on time.

The bank manager doesn't give a shit

about how many views you're getting

and by the end of the month, we have an appointment

and you know he's gonna want to see collateral,

a guarantee,

a steady job with a paycheck, something normal.

I'm serious this time, Kyle, if things don't change,

I'm going back to my father's.

And she's coming with me.

Come on, sweetie.

Let's go get the late comers.

Fail. I didn't know you were coming.

You really like to film everything do you, asshole?

You know what this is?

You know what this is, Max, huh?

You guys, you're all the same.

You never know when to quit.

How much has our poker face here lost?

- 19,000. 19,000. - No, no wait, hey,

- I can win double that. - Really?

- Yeah, if only-- - If only what? If only what, huh?

If only we give you another loan, huh?

- 30,000. - 30,000.

Just give me 30,000 and I will give you 10 times as much.

Ten times as much, you know what?

You have two days to bring me back my 90,000 plus 10

for raising my blood pressure.

After that, we'll come and get you

and we'll take you apart piece by piece.

Two days, 100 grand.

Say yes with your head if you understood.

- You understood? - Mmm.

Mmm, good, good for you, Max. Good for you.

On top of the world, baby.

Hey, Max.

What's up?

- Oh, Max. - Yo.

500,000 subscribers, man.

- Yeah? - Yeah, half a million.

Yeah, baby, cool.

We can finally get some good deals from the sponsors.

Hey, you remember Jesse, the guy?

Now we can ask Red Bull to take us on

for official competitions.

This time we'll get some real cash, man.

Alright, what's with the face?

Why do you come up here, Kyle?

- To breathe. - Exactly.

Could you really stop breathing?

When nothing goes right

Go faster.

What's this?

Oh you got it too?

It looks like a video,

but I can't see who sent it.

Man, my phone is frozen.

I can only press play.

I don't get it.

Is it an app?

Did it auto-install?

What was that?

Found anything?

Oh, good morning to you too, Max.

No, no, no website, no Facebook page.

That logo didn't show up on any image searches.

I even asked around.

No one knows anything.

It's not for real, man,

this things a big joke.

It's a secret contest.

That's why we can't find anything.

Right, sure.

And why would they have chosen us?

They probably saw our YouTube videos.

They want us because we're the coolest, dude.

Okay, alright. So it's a competition with a 250,000 dollar prize

organized by people with literally zero online presence.

What makes you so sure that this thing is for real?

All you've got to do is just press yes and we'll find out.

And look, we don't have much time left.

Daddy.

- Yes, daddy's here, baby. - Hey, Mia.

Just a second, good girl.

Hey, man at least let me say hi.

- No, man forget it. - Why?

Oh come on, are you ashamed of her uncle?

You're not her uncle.

Anyway, whoever sent this video,

knows what they're doing.

They got our attention.

What are you gonna do?

What are you gonna do?

Hey, hey, hey.

Two days.

You said two days.

What?

Hey, hey, Max. Max, wake up.

Why are you here?

What?

If you got me in another one of your messes...

No way.

What's going on?

They got us, that's what's going on.

Great bitch.

What the...

Oh man, Jesus.

Well, if this is a joke,

you've got to admit, it's pretty well organized.

Are we supposed to put this stuff on?

I don't like this, man.

I don't like this one bit.

Let us out of here, huh?

This is kidnapping.

There's no signal in here, man. Let us out!

Kyle, hey easy, easy.

Hey, it's true, these guys is a bit over the top,

but that's show business, right?

- And you remember-- - Get off of me.

Hey, hey.

Remember the first commandment?

Don't be afraid.

Number five and number six I suppose.

Ah, ah, ah, not so fast.

And you are?

Henry Owl at your disposal.

Oh, before we begin,

please accept my apologies

and those of Black Babylon

if our ways came across as exceedingly rough.

It was necessary.

Why?

Because our clients like it that way.

Our procedure is part of the service package we provide.

And for the same reason,

I'm gonna have to ask you

to hand over your

personal effects,

watches, id-documents, mobile phones.

You can leave them there. We'll keep them safe

until the end of the race.

What? Why?

Because the second commandment

is don't reveal the secret.

It's in the rules.

Is all this legal?

Since when is that a problem, number five?

It's required if you wish to participate.

You wouldn't be the first to quit today.

Your wedding band is to be considered a personal effect,

number five.

Excellent. And now for one last formality.

And what's this for?

Well, I can't exactly say anything,

but I can assure you,

every detail has been arranged

so that the contest goes perfectly.

Excellent.

We officially welcome, number five and number six.

Why do we have to wear all these GoPros?

So that the jury can constantly watch what you're doing.

And so that the spectators can enjoy the show.

It's a contest with points

and the winner must combine speed with freestyle moves.

Time of completion of the course,

athletic ability,

degree of difficulty of the stunts,

everything will influence your score, everything.

Where is this being broadcast?

If my wife sees me, she's gonna freak.

She won't. The show won't be broadcast anywhere.

So why do all this?

He told us before, he mentioned clients.

Everything that happens in these woods

will remain strictly confidential.

Remember, it's a secret contest.

But the money's real, right?

The money exists only for the one

who beats out all the other contestants, number five.

And how many contestants are there?

Ten contestants divided into pairs.

Five different points of departure,

but just one finish line.

The cardio metric function is now on.

You can monitor your heart rate

by looking at the watch face

so you can manage your energy optimally.

You can also check your race data,

updated to the second,

route position, scores, standings.

You can't live without them.

Well, why don't we all start in the same place?

Each route has been specially designed

for each carefully selected rider.

Different starting places for different experiences.

All you have to do

is follow the rules and ride.

We've taken care of everything else.

In case you need it, the first aid kit

will remind you to respect the third commandment,

No contestant can assist another contestant

or provide aid.

Alright, so tell me

what is the fourth commandment?

I love this guy.

Your helmets are equipped with wireless intercoms

and for your listening pleasure,

we have created a carefully selected music playlist,

a personalized soundtrack if you will

to enhance each moment of your ride.

That's all for now.

We expect a great deal from you.

Have fun.

Don't let us down.

Enjoy the ride.

We're not in Kansas anymore.

Where are we?

I believe we're in Europe, my friend.

Those must be the Alps.

Max, you do realize that these guys

practically kidnapped us

to make us participate in a contest?

You're crazy, man.

That's why we're friends.

And that's why Christine is gonna kill me.

Unless I win that is.

- Ready? - Never.

Yo, Kyle you with me?

You are not gonna believe what I just found.

Cool.

Awesome.

There's a little reward for whoever gets to the checkpoint first.

You'll see or maybe you won't.

Kyle, I'll come and get you.

Woo! What do you say now, buddy boy?

I can't humiliate you every ride, Max.

I like the view.

And now if you don't mind--

Shit! Hey, Kyle watch out.

There's a crazy guy on a motorbike.

Okay. So what? You sound worried?

I don't know, man.

He tried to bring me down.

Is it part of the contest?

No, I don't think so.

It's not on the GPS.

Alright, okay just be careful.

Fuck!

Ah, shit!

What happened?

I don't know, some--

some lunatic on a motorcycle.

Hey, hey, did you see that?

What was that, did you see him?

Oh, God.

Okay, okay.

What the--

Hey.

I knew it, man.

There was something weird

about that guy.

Oh, nice one.

Shit man, it hurts.

Give me your kit, come on.

What's with you? Come on!

Better not.

What are you talking about?

Third commandment, you heard him.

- Are you serious? - Yeah.

I don't want to be disqualified.

Oh come on, don't be a wuss.

You can do it yourself.

Argh!

Come on, really?

Hey, it was in touch.

Who the hell was that guy anyway?

- Yes. - Well, you know what,

must be the final boss.

Okay, okay.

Thank you.

So what, we just pretend like nothing happened?

Come on, bro, 250,000 bucks.

Did you think they were just going to give it to us?

Hey, hey, hey.

Speak in English, speak in English.

I don't understand. English, speak in English.

What is it?

- I'm begging you, help me. - Come over here, man.

It's another rider.

Help me, help me.

- No, we need to we need to save him. - Whoa, whoa, whoa,

- What's going on? - Save who?

Everything just happened in a second.

- We need to save Miguel, please! - Alright, just Stop.

Tell us what happened. Did he hurt himself or what?

We were taking part in the race and-- What, you are too?

Tell us, what happened to him?

Someone hit him and made him fall and he hit his head.

I don't know, he's not moving. Miguel is not moving!

- Alright, who did this, who did it? - I don't know, I don't know.

A guy on a motor bike dressed in black.

It's him, it's that maniac.

Where is he? Where can we find him?

I tried but I fell on my bike

and lost my direction.

I remember where it is, I can take you there.

Okay, let's go there.

No, no, no, no, no wait, wait, wait, it's not okay,

wait for a second.

No, you have to--

you have to help me!

Stop, come here, come here.

- I think we should help her. - Why?

We're connected live to the organizers of the competition.

They've seen that someone's got hurt,

that jerk on the motorcycle--

They're gonna take care of it.

You hear that?

Send someone right away.

And let us know, thanks.

Alright, so what are you thinking?

No one's gonna come, man.

First the fake kidnapping,

then the crazy motorcyclist, the dark rider

and now the pretty girl in tears,

the damsel in distress.

Is it not the perfect set up?

Are you serious?

You know what I noticed,

each time we stop our points decrease.

So we either continue the race

or we go with her.

But we gotta keep going.

Max, Max, this is not part of the race.

And even if it was,

helping her would be breaking the third commandment,

wouldn't it, huh?

- You're right. - You know what, you know what,

we're gonna help her because she needs it, alright.

Screw all of that other stuff, okay?

Okay, okay, we're the good guys.

I like it.

Okay, what's your name?

I'm Clara, number nine.

Okay, Clara, take us to Miguel.

Okay.

Hey, what about the bikes?

It's here. This is the place, he's down there.

Is he here?

He's here, he's here.

No, no, no, no.

Miguel!

Here!

Get out of here, come on.

You said it was an accident!

You said it was an accident!

What happened?

- You said it was an accident. - I don't know, I don't know!

Max, we've got to go, come on!

- I should've never left him here. - Max!

Relax.

No!

Max, come on.

Max, we've got to go, come on!

Miguel.

Max, Max.

Yeah?

Where you going?

I'm going back.

Back where?

What? Come here!

Where are you going?

Your GPS doesn't work.

I don't-- I don't trust her, okay?

- She doesn't feel right to me. - What about any--

any of this whole situation feels right?

So what do you want to do, huh?

- You want to stay here? - I don't know, man.

We can't just keep moving. We don't know what's out there.

What was that?

They're telling us where to go.

It's the checkpoint.

Miguel and I were heading here.

Maybe they've got a phone, we can use to call for help.

I need some strong medication for my leg.

Yeah.

And then we just wave goodbye to 250,000 dollars.

You're joking, right?

Let's wait a second, okay.

Maybe the unforeseen situation

has not compromised the execution of the game.

Screw the game, alright?

You know what?

I'm gonna go find a safe place.

You don't have to come with me.

You go, continue the race,

but don't think you're dragging me into all this again.

What again mean?

Yeah, when nothing goes right, it's always Max's fault, huh?

I need that money.

I needed it too.

No man, you don't understand.

Without that money, I'm dead.

I'm in deep shit, Kyle.

I owe a lot of money to people who--

I've got two days...

and then they'll kill me.

This time for real.

Oh Christ, Max.

I know, I know.

I'm an asshole.

Christine was clear this time,

either I straighten things out at home...

or she's leaving.

She's taking Mia with her.

There's no happy ending.

I think karma's telling us to get steady jobs, man.

You win.

Let's go to the green room.

Are you coming?

Hey, there are two other riders headed there too.

Shouldn't be long now.

Are you okay?

Was that your boyfriend?

Have you seen other checkpoints around here or something?

Hey, Clara,

I'm Kyle, by the way.

This'll all be okay.

I don't get it.

What?

It says rider number two

should be around here somewhere.

- Watch out! - Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Look at this.

These bastards.

Oh shit.

Oh, um.

Oh, hu--

Oh shit, oh shit.

Don't look, don't look.

- Get in the path. - We're next.

Don't look at it, don't look at it, don't look at it.

Max, Max where are you going?

Max, this is a good reason to stop.

It's another rider, man.

That is a good reason to go to the green room.

You were right.

The green room should be right here.

It must be up here.

All the other riders are gone.

We're the only ones left.

Hey, you gonna do this?

Yeah.

Why would they send us here if we can't get in?

Maybe it's old like some, uh...

old self activating security measure.

I thought this was a new show.

Hello?

Hey, we're here.

Hello?

Is that a phone there?

Hey, is that working?

It's dead.

- What is this? - I don't know.

No, no, we shouldn't touch anything We should not touch anything.

Let me try to do something.

No, no, we--

- Something-- - I'm sure someone will come here in a second.

- If we just wait here-- - Let me try and see what I can do.

No, we don't know what this is. We don't know what this is.

- Hey! - Max, hey!

Stop, alright?

Come here.

We got to do something, alright?

It's been a long day.

Easy now.

It's connected. The phone is connected to the--

That's right.

Yes.

There must be something.

There we go.

The system is restarting.

Okay.

- I'm gonna go find something for my leg. - Alright.

There's an infirmary back here.

Hey come on, it'll make you good.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

What's Mia like now?

She's a handful.

You never tell me anything about her.

You know why Christine is so angry at me?

Why she wants me to stop with all this?

Three years ago,

Berlin.

Yeah, I remember.

You got really messed up.

You were off for two months.

If I close my eyes, I can still see it.

Dumbest mistakes. I land with just a little too much force in my handlebars

and the front wheel buckles.

And I remember thinking to myself...

You're probably gonna fall right now and break your neck

and there isn't a camera in the right angle to catch it.

Wow, what would that be like...

to film my own death?

Helicopter comes,

compound fracture to my hip and my femur

and they operate, and

three hours later I wake up

and Mia has decided to come out two weeks early.

You know sometimes I look at her and I wonder maybe if she knows

that I wasn't there.

And now I'm in this mess and I might never see 'em again.

You'll see them.

Yes, I've got a line.

Who are you calling, the police?

We don't even know where we are.

In those mountains we saw of the alps, then we're in Europe.

The emergency number is 112.

112, what's your emergency?

Yeah, we need help.

- Uh, we have three people trapped in a fort. -Okay.

- Some dead bodies. We need-- - Okay, try to calm down, sir.

I need to know where you are first.

- Where are you? - No, no, no, we, we--

We don't know exactly where we are. We can't say that.

Okay, what do you mean, sir? Are you lost?

- No, we're not lost. - To send help need to know--

We just, we can't say, Can you please trace the call?

Yes, we can do that. Just give me a second.

In the meantime, tell me precisely what happened

and how you found the body.

We don't know either.

Someone hacked into this, this is not the point.

- Okay. - You should send someone here. We just down break.

Tracing the call.

We can't reach that area with my helicopter,

but an extraction center with an ER complication

- What, say again-- - and if you have a GPS, these are the coordinates,

- 22, 42 - Shit!

What happened? Did they trace the call?

- Are they coming here? - Max] I don't know.

You

We don't even know where we are.

- What is wrong? - They want to trap us here to kill us all.

Open this door.

Where are you going?

Where did she go? Where'd she go?

I don't know man, she went there.

Oh no, no, no, no.

She called the cops straight here.

No, we're not gonna wait here, okay?

Max!

Help me, help me!

Hey, what do you want from us?

Run, run!

Help, help me!

Help, help me!

Hurry up now.

This way, this way.

What are you doing? Let's go!

We've got to go!

We've got to move, right now, what are you doing?

What are you doing?

Hey, hey, Kyle.

Kyle, wake up.

Why?

- What happened? - I don't know.

I just woke up.

Clara is one of them.

One of them who?

This was all a set up.

You understand me now?

What was all a set up?

Well rested?

You were faking it the whole time.

Everyone needs to play their role in the big show, Max.

And you let him smash your face, you're sick.

Sometimes things get a little heavy.

We need to be very convincing

otherwise it doesn't work.

What, what doesn't work?

Let us go, you psychos.

Of course we'll let you go.

Are you religious?

Don't you know you must obey the commandments?

Yes, we need help.

Uh, we have three people trapped in a fort, some dead bodies.

We need someone--

Can you please trace the call?

No.

No, no, no.

That's against the rules.

Hey, I didn't say anything.

I didn't reveal the secret.

Shh, shh, shh, shh,

shh, shh, shh, shh.

Then once you break the rules, you found the flames of chaos.

But don't worry, you won't be disqualified.

Consider this your punishment...

Or a penalty if you prefer.

Red pill for number six.

It won't take long to work.

If we're lucky, we're gonna have some fun.

Help me, help me, please help me!

Help me!

Uh oh, uh oh.

A penalty of 1,000 points for number six.

Why, huh?

Why are you doing this to us?

Fear, hate, frustration, rage,

they all need to pulse through your veins

so that you can satisfy the needs of our audience.

We want to excite you, to excite us.

You should be proud of yourself that you made it to the second phase.

But the show must always go on.

Hey, hey!

Henry Owl at your disposal.

What you just inhaled is a sort of incentive

to participate,

to not rip off your cameras,

to run, but not run away.

The compound spreading through your system

is a mixture of tetrodotoxin and saxitoxin,

an injection with a few milligrams

would've killed you too quickly.

Making the substance gaseous

and mixing with a thiosulfate solution

has earned us more time.

So you poisoned us?

I know, it may sound ridiculous.

It's so '80s, isn't it?

The poison will act in the following way.

It starts with shortness of breath, blurred vision

and a dulling of the other senses.

Tinnitus, irregular heartbeat and gradual paralysis,

vomiting, convulsions and ultimately

cardiorespiratory failure.

All this of course unless you take the antidote.

- What antidote? - It's at the finish line waiting for you

or rather waiting for one of you, the winner.

Three main checkpoints,

two plus the final one.

Same rules as before apply,

but with one small sexy tweak.

At the end of the competition,

one of you will die.

This is a show,

a very ancient one

and no one can break the tradition.

- Enjoy the ride. - Enjoy the ride.

The show is a collective ritual,

a reciprocal exchange of energy.

You are the vehicle of that energy.

You are the black Babylon riders.

Are you out of your mind?

So what do we do now?

You heard her, right?

She's probably listening to us right now,

we have no choice, man, we have to race.

Oh so you think

this is still a competition, huh?

And that only one of us is gonna make it back home?

For Christ's sake. These maniacs have proven time and time again

they have no problems doing what they say they're going to do.

And you don't have a problem with the fact that one of us is gonna die.

You saw those bodies.

We need to do what they tell us,

otherwise, we're gonna end up like that.

Earlier on the phone,

did the police tell you anything?

Did they tell you how to get out of here, what?

No. The line went dead before I could hear them.

And anyway, don't you think they're gonna catch you?

- Christ! - What about the poison?

Are you willing to risk not getting back to your daughter?

You don't want to escape, do you?

You haven't wanted to escape for a single second.

And now you're using my daughter to convince me to race.

- What? - You're manipulating me, Max, like you've always done.

Kyle! If I don't get that money, I'm dead.

Then you're crazier than they are.

You can't see past your own needs,

your own debt, your own problems.

I did this for my family, I'm here for them.

Nah.

Oh you want to see my daughter

grow up without her father?

Please don't give me a sob story, man.

If you really cared about her, you wouldn't be here.

You weren't even there the day she was born.

Oh shut up, man.

The only time you speak about her

you make it sound like she's a problem.

You said it yourself,

you need to breath

otherwise you'd end up

suffocating in that house.

I'll see you at the finish line, Max.

What is--

Tick tock, tick tock.

We've got our eyes on you, Max.

It's the shit you made me swallow.

It's starting to kick in.

You were so cute when you were arguing.

Tick tock, tick tock. Time flies, boy.

Fuck.

I see nothing. Go away!

What do you see, Max?

Bees. Bees everywhere.

You're really having fun now, aren't you?

What does my daughter have to do with this?

Huh?

What does my daughter have to do with any of this?

I haven't seen Kyle since yesterday.

- He hasn't been online since yesterday. - Max either.

I don't know, he left the house, he--

I don't know what time he'll come back.

What should I do? Should I just call the police?

Leave her alone!

Leave her alone!

I'm not gonna play your games.

I'm leaving the race!

Think, Kyle think.

You can run, but you can't escape.

So don't stop, run.

No, what is this?

What was this? I want some too.

It burns, this thing is burning.

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

No, no, no, no, no.

It burns? I'm impressed, Max.

Your brain is producing reactions way above average.

The signals our body sends us

are messages from our soul directed to our mind.

Where is he?

Where's Kyle?

Good.

What did you do to him?

Don't run away from that anger, use it.

Make us proud, Max.

Shut up.

New age psychotic bitch.

You can't control your arm or your body, your mind...

...or anything else.

You're too funny.

I like you, Kyle.

I like you.

I'm okay.

What?

What now?

What do you want me to do?

What am I supposed to do?

There you are.

You bastards!

Where are you hiding?

Big bastards.

Clara!

Max is coming.

Hey, I'm here to take my money.

I've earned it.

The wizard of Oz's curtain.

You bastards.

Hi, Mia.

Do you ever think of how I feel

when I see you risking your life?

Uncle Max misses you.

One skyscraper to another.

If you're watching it online,

it means I survived, right?

At least I think I did.

Why-- why can't you just be a father?

Like...

Like normal.

It's like the risk not getting back to your daughter.

You're such a rebel.

Wait, how was it again, uhm?

If nothing goes right, go faster?

You didn't want to escape for a single second.

- That's the type of bullshit-- - And now you're using

my daughter to convince me to race?

You're manipulating me, Max, like you've always done.

- If You want a real thing-- - Go!

- You'll get that money! - We don't have money together.

- I'll be back! - Crumbs--

You knew everything.

Even crazier than they are.

You can't see past your own needs,

your own debt, your own problems.

You chose us 'cause you knew everything.

- You want to see my daughter-- - Return to the race immediately.

It's no story, man. If you really care about them, you wouldn't be here.

Hey, come over here, hey.

You shouldn't be here.

Go back up to the surface.

You work with them.

There's still time to make up for this.

All you have to do is get out of here

and keep riding.

Stop, or I'll shoot!

How long have you been watching us?

What is this all about?

I don't know much about it, I swear.

I'd like to help you, believe me,

but I'm just supposed to make sure everything's working.

They don't want the show to ever stop

no matter what happens.

Who are they?

Did they look for people willing to kill themselves

and then they pay them to do it?

Is that it?

You got to help me, man, you've got--

Shut up! I can't interfere, understand?

We're both risking a lot being here.

Get out of here.

- Get out! - Or what?

You'll kill me?

Who would take my place in the race?

You maybe?

Well, I think that's quite an interference

for someone that is not supposed to interfere.

And now you are going to tell me

how I get out of this shithole

with or without the money.

I don't know.

I don't know anything.

I'm nobody. I belong to them.

And they're always watching.

Alright.

No, don't shoot, don't shoot!

She's watching you.

You'll break the rules again.

Get over here!

What?

These are fake.

They're dummies.

Oh my God, the dead people we saw,

they weren't dead.

Oh God, guys, you haven't killed anyone.

I knew you were not that crazy.

Oh gosh, I'm so sorry.

I got it now, I got it, I got it.

Don't reveal the secret.

I'm so sorry I didn't believe you.

Maybe we hadn't even been poisoned.

Okay guys, you're great, you're genius.

Okay, you'll get your show.

Black, old friend.

- Get off me. - No one has ever suffered hallucinations

for so long, Max.

- I missed you, witch. - You could see things that we couldn't.

You're gonna be wonderful.

Yeah, baby.

♪ Ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta ♪

Tick tock, tick tock,

time and tide wait for no man, Kyle.

Who knows what your daughter will think

if she doesn't see you come home.

Who knows if she will realize

that her father has once again

preferred thrills to her.

Please, don't hurt her,

I'm doing everything you ask.

I'm sorry I'm not there.

Look at you.

Look at you.

Ay, ay, ay.

You weren't there.

- What does that mean? - But she wasn't alone.

No, no, no, no, no, please don't go.

I want to see more!

Put it back on!

I realize we have to earn your trust, Max.

So let's make this simple.

Your bank account number is 307698412

and you are drawing from a bank loan

of approximately 49,000 dollars. Or rather, you were.

Check it if you like. You were in the red,

but now you are 5,000 dollars in the black, Black Babylon.

Now, Max

you're gonna see some strange stuff,

really strange stuff,

but whatever happens,

always keep in mind

that the contest is real, always.

We need you. We have reason to believe that Kyle will often have doubts

and may try to abandon the race,

but if that happens,

you can't participate either

and that would be a shame, wouldn't it?

Each time we stop, our points decrease.

Maybe the unforeseen situation

is not part of the execution,

but we've got to keep going. She's not part of--

So you think this is still a competition

and that only one of us is gonna get back home?

Help us keep the show going

no matter what happens.

Have faith in us.

Oh, and please remember,

don't reveal the secret.

Uh, oh, time to ride, Kyle.

Ride or die.

Okay, Max.

Okay.

Can you feel that, Max?

The emotions are just watching you.

And you give back to them in a never-ending vibrational cycle.

An eternity composed of solely apparent

beginnings and endings.

Only apparent birth and death

'cause nothing ever really starts or finishes.

Nothing is really born or dying.

Everything transforms,

everything is eternal.

Everything is information.

Everything is vibration.

Everything is flux. Everything is connected

to the network and on the network

forever.

Fear, hate, frustration, breaks,

deserves to activate precise vibrational frequency.

To convey energy has always been the secret

aim of every show,

of every ritual.

It's to achieve this aim that specific rules have to be created

for each and every ceremony from the dawn of time.

Just follow the rules.

And everything will be alright.

How do I get it?

Do you know why they gave me this, Kyle?

For the same reason they probably gave you a bullet.

They want a classic showdown.

They won't release the antidote

until one of our hearts has stopped beating

or at least that's what they want us to believe.

I don't care what your deal is with them, Max.

They're gonna hurt Mia

and it'll be all your fault.

They won't hurt anyone.

Trust me.

Trust you?

The guy who was at the hospital

when Mia was born, huh?

Oh, so you finally know?

Foreseeing your health, you were not there.

We never told you because we thought you'd be really pissed off.

Of all the people in the world,

why did she call you?

Look what they did to us.

We are the perfect candidates for this game.

Enough games, give me the gun.

Yeah, that's it, that's the point.

So they are asking us to choose

who the winner should be.

I'm telling you, man, it has to be me.

You go home, I get my money.

It's a happy ending, Kyle.

Stop with this bullshit, Max.

- People died today. - No!

I can't tell you my lies??,

I can't reveal the secret,

but there was nobody

else this whole time.

It was only about you and me.

Only about you and me?

You know what, you're right.

Of course I'm right,

Give me the damn bullet.

Come and get it.

Turn that off!

I can't exactly say anything, but I can assure you

every detail has been arranged

so that the contest goes perfectly.

I'm afraid there's been a misunderstanding, Max.

This is a sudden death match, literally.

You don't deserve to live

just because you have a family?

What would that be like,

filming my own death?

Could you really stop breathing?

Don't be afraid.

Let the ceremony begin.

Fucker face.

Please, just run back to me.

The coordinates are 22, 14, 77.

Go!

When nothing goes right...

go faster.

Shit, oh my gosh.

No, don't shoot!

Don't.

They're always watching.

If you kill me, you'll break the rule again.

Shut up.

You tried to kill me, you bitch.

You don't know what's next for you.

Please, don't follow those coordinates.

It's what they want you to do.

I'm not gonna fall for the same trick twice.

You can't fool me again.

No, I don't want them to do to you

what they've done to me.

Then what am I supposed to do?

I don't know.

I don't know anything.

I'm nobody.

I belong to them.

Please don't go there.

Help, there's no time to stay,

I'm begging you help me.

We need to go, we need to save him.

Everything just happened in a second.

We need to go, we need to--

Shit!

Oh God!

Fuck, fuck!

Congratulations, number five.

Welcome to phase three.

Enjoy the ride.

We've announced to the world

that she is in fact pregnant with Mike, Mike,

or if it's a girl, Mia, Mia.
