A scene of grisly murder.

It appears that the headhunter serial killer has finally been caught.

Thomas Reddmann was arrested earlier today

for the murder of Bloom lncorporateds high flying public relations guru

The Headhunter is responsible for the vicious ax murders

of six curpurate heads, decapitating all of his victims.

Your favorite serial killer and mine

is found guilty or not guilty.

I'm humbled that my psychic gifts were able to help lead

to the arrest and conviction.

My father worked very hard to get to the top.

He didn't deserve to die like that.

I hope he rots in jail!

This is a good outcome.

Thomas Reddmann will be incarcerated

for the rest of his natural life

at the Lansdale Clinic.

Mr. Reddmann is very sick.

Under the guidance of Doctor Lansdale,

we know we can make a difference.

In an escape attempt last night at the Lansdaie Clinic,

a fire broke out which took the life of inmafe Thomas Reddmann.

The circumstances of the escape attempt remain unclear.

However, it appears that Reddmann was viciously attacked.

The good news is Thomas Reddmahh, the headhunter,

is dead.

So, you did well in high school,

drupped nut of college and have what,

at best, can be described as sporadic job history.

There's nothing here that suggests you would be an asset

to Fulber Incorporated.

A f all.

I'm-I'm really just

I'm just looking for a chance, you know?

We have your de fails on file.

We'll be in touch if circumstances change.

No, you won't.

Annabelle, ifs Les.

Listen, your private show numbers are a disgrace.

You're a Bullet Girl, honey. Try and act like it. This is your job.

Your titty little tease act is cute,

but I expect your numbers to go up, otherwise I'm gonna have to letyuu go.

Hello.

You wanna see these'?

Do you like that'?

Do you enjoy what you do?

Of course. Can't you tell'?

But do you feel you're achie vihg something with this jab?

Oh, this is no boring old job, baby.

Where do you see yourself in five years time?

I'm-I'm sorry, what'?

Would you like the opportunity to right a terrible wrong?

I don't even know what that means.

I'm out.

I've got a job for you.

Later, weirdo.

So many douchebags.

You've got the job.

What's this'?

What the fuck is this'?

Hey_

You awake?

Listen, don'! get the wrong idea.

I'm trapped, too.

Who are you'?

What'?

What'?

Can somebody tell me what the fuck is going on'?

I don'! know. But it's not good!

We have to get out. We have Yo.

Stop it. Stop it, all of you.

Hey, stop it!

We're all connected to... to something.

We're just gonna hurt ourselves more.

Let's try the desks.

One, two, three.

He got you.

He got all of you.

He's dead.

And so are we.

We're dead. We're all dead.

We're already dead.

Gotta get back to work.

Gotta get the pages done. Can't miss a deadline.

Guy. Guy Marr.

Jesus, it is him.

He's been missing for over a month.

We were all in court together.

The Reddmann headhunter homicides.

I arrested Thomas Reddmann.

I led the defense team.

I assisted the police with their investigations.

You're Sheena, right'? The psychic.

And who are you'?

You're the psychic. Shouldn't you know that'?

I was an eyewitness.

And I was an eyewitness, too.

The Internet stripper. How could I forget'?

And that man led the prosecution.

Oh, shit. Oh, shit, it can't be.

Drink.

Please.

Some office rules.

Three toilet breaks a day.

Two social breaks.

Finish all meals pro video'.

Complete all tasks.

You will begin by transcribing these legal manuals.

Start at page one,

and don't stop until I tell you.

My name is Redd.

I'm your new boss.

I identified his body.

So, how is he still alive?

I can't do this.

Why'?

I don't have my glasses. I can't see without them.

I get headaches.

Just do something.

Show him you're doing something.

That looks really painful.

It's not that bad.

I can't believe we're stuck in a cube farm.

Cube farm'?

An office job.

I have been avoiding them for so long, and now

We'll be okay.

Really?

I have no idea.

It just seemed like the right thing to say.

Shit.

Come on, this is crazy. He's just fucking with us.

No.

He's breaking us.

Looks like you're the big winner.

Incentive.

You can stop for now.

Start again first thing in the morning.

Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh.

I didn't say you could start.

If you obey the rules, tomorrow you'll have some food.

Fuck you!

Really?

I'm sorry, Redd. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, please.

I'm

Mr. Marr should know by now

that I run a tight ship here.

I am firm, but fair.

Isn't that right, Guy'?

Firm but fair. Firm but fair.

Sorry, Redd. Sorry, boss.

Now, what the rest of you need to understand

is that with every act of insubordination

comes a warning.

I'm sorry, Redd!

After the fifth warning,

I review the employee's ongoing value to my company.

Please. And that was number five.

Please, Redd, please!

Please!

Right.

Stop!

Please, stop!

And how did you do today'?

Let's take a look at your work.

I don't have my glasses. I can't see properly without them.

Really? Yeah.

No glasses'?

Just a moment.

Try those.

Come along.

Better'? Better, thank you.

No excuses then.

You've got a lot of catching up to do.

Toilet break time.

Five minutes.

I'll be waiting.

Oh, for fuck's sake, Hale.

Keep it together.

Hello?

Is anybody there'?

Shit!

Time's up!

I said time's up.

I'm ready.

You took your time.

That's your first warning.

It's nothing personal, you understand.

What's down there'?

Any sign of where we are'?

You must have seen something.

Anything at all'?

Oh, holy shit.

Bad dream?

Yeah.

Oh. Bad everything.

I thought this place was a nightmare.

This place is a nightmare.

I don't need to go to the bathroom.

I don't need to go to the bathroom.

You are the same Annabelle Hale

who was a witness at the Thomas Reddmann trials.

Yes.

You said,

"I saw Thomas Reddmann holding the ax.

"He was covered in blood.

Shelly Bloom's body was on the elevator floor."

That's right. That's what I said.

“Decapitated.”

I misspoke.

You said, "The decapitated body was on the elevator floor.

Correct?

Hm. You also admitted

that you did not see the killing blow.

Your words.

You did not see me actually use the ax.

No, I-l didn't.

Well then.

That will be your task.

That's your job, Annabelle.

To find the real killer.

Because I'm telling you now,

lam not the headhunter.

Mr. DeMeyeFs body was slumped against the conference room fable.

His head had rolled to the other side.

I heard a wheezing behind me.

And when I fumed around,

I-I walked in

and Mr. K e

was sitting there, and I called the police.

Edward.

I don't even know what I'm supposed to be looking for here.

If we were really investigating a case,

we'd be looking for patterns and inconsistencies.

But we're not working a case here.

The killer is in that office right there.

What we need to do is look busy,

and stay alive.

Thanks.

Patterns and inconsistencies.

Rules are made to be followed, Marcus!

Please! No, no, no, no!

You don'! follow them, you know what happens!

Please! No!

Who's Marcus?

Wait a second.

Marcus Conlon.

The judge in this case.

He's been missing for months.

Why would he wanna hurt Con/on?

The dude sent him to the Lansdale Clinic.

Padded walls and all the barbiturates you can swallow.

It's basically a medicated hotel. No, it isn't.

The Lansdale Clinic,

the part you can see is exactly as Annabelle says.

But Lansdale,

he has certain ideas about the criminal mind.

Certain procedures,

chemical and surgical

that aren't strictly legal.

And the results? They vary.

Surgical?

He's got scars on his head.

Did you notice

that when Guy stabbed him, he didn't even flinch?

Yeah.

He can't feel any pain.

Whoever Thomas Reddmann was before the Lansdale Clinic,

that person is gone.

We need to talk to him.

We need to make him see sense.

No, Sheena, I don't think that's a good idea.

Shit.

Hello, workers.

You know what you're doing here is wrong.

Don? you, Thomas?

Can I call you Thomas?

You know my name.

Sheena Oleary.

We're all people.

We all have friends and family, just like you.

Like me'?

You're not a bad man.

You don't really want to hurt people.

That man'?

In the other room'?

You don? want to hurt him either.

Perhaps I do.

Perhaps said person has earned a lot of pain.

I think that we should get back to work.

What about Guy'?

What about his friends, his family?

His children?

You say you're innocent, but you killed a man, for God's sake.

Calm down.

You're disrupting your co-workers.

Sheena, Redd's right.

You are a murderer!

I said calm down!

This is no way to start the day!

Let's get this clear.

I am not a murderer.

I am a regional manager.

Find the real killer today,

you go home today.

Take six months and you'll be here for six months.

Remembering that for every second you waste

a vicious murderer will be walking about

enjoying the freedom you're currently not.

For God's sake!

That went well.

No, no, really. It was a really good idea.

Some of you could have backed me up.

If we all appeal to him, he might let us go.

I know how he did it.

Did what'?

How Redd faked his own death.

If wasn't his burn! remains a!

It was someone else.

He must have severed his own left arm

knuwing it was all we could use for DNA analysis.

It was a setup.

So, he escaped with another patient

and used him as dead meat'?

Chopped off his own arm'?

I told you. The Lansdale Clinic changes people.

Oh, fuck!

Jesus, William, are you okay?

William.

ls there a problem I can help you with'?

Hm'?

Hm.

It's fine. It's just a little splinter.

Mm, yes, they start small.

But the infection can spread.

You don't want that.

Ha!

Found them.

It's in deep.

There.

Got it. There.

Right.

Now, just remove the fingernail.

No, don'! look at them.

They can? stop infection.

Do it.

Now, get back to work.

And remember.

My door is always open.

Oh, fuck, William.

They need to get out more. Get a little style.

It's a quagmire of bad ties and cheap cologne around here.

Anyway, I'm heading to the airport now.

So, you knuw what you have to do, so do it.

Why are we stopping here?

There isn't even any

End of messages.

Why are we stopping here?

There isn't even any

End of messages.

You making any prugress?

No, not really.

You?

Thafll teach you to be civil!

I'd like to smell her hair one last time.

My wife.

Her hair smelt great.

I hope someone's feeding my dogs.

What are their names?

Reasonable and Doubt.

I regret

not getting back in contact with my mom.

It's been years.

We didn't get along.

You know what I really regret?

I didn't get to tell my stupid boss to shove his job up his ass.

I honestly thought I had the boss from hell.

I think that there's a way out.

The women's bathroom. There's a grate that could lead outside.

Can you open it'? No, but I'm trying.

Shh.

Dues anyune else have a funny taste in their mouth?

Yeah, like a Like a chemical taste.

We're being drugged.

Du you think he's gonna do something while we 're asleep?

We have to stay awake no matter what.

I'm glad we don't have to look at him anymore.

You can always channel him later.

Let's just keep focused and stay alive.

There's no reasoning with him. He's a psycho.

As opposed to a psychic, right'?

We should get to work.

As long as we continue with our tasks, we buy ourselves time.

This isn't a guessing game.

Times and dates, detective.

Neatness.

Punctuality.

Accuracy.

Facts.

At this rate we'll all be dead in two days.

Sheena, have you found anything yet'?

Let's just say it's...not the ideal working environment.

You mean for someone like you.

For any of us.

What number did I just type'?

I'm not getting into a guessing game with you.

That's all you do.

You just guess and you hope you get lucky.

I'm not having this conversation with you.

Well, then talk to me.

I'm not sure that I believe in what you do.

But if you can get a message to someone,

then you need to do that, like now.

Are you fucking serious?

Yo u go f an y better ideas?

I mean, it can't hurt.

Right?

I think that you should try.

Please, try.

Okay.

The truth.

So easy to grasp,

yet so hard to hold onto.

Some people are naturally skeptics.

It's part of their job to question everything.

Many are tau easily cunv/nced by what they see and hear.

Seeing is believing.

Others view the truth as an accumulation of facts.

Evidence

which cannot be denied.

And then there are those

who view the truth as a piece of clay

to be worked.

An art form.

Another way to lie.

Sheena O'Leary.

A renowned psychic and medium.

She recently helped the police

on the headhunter homicides case.

One could ask

why you chose to lend your powers

to this particular case.

I've assisted the police on many cases.

You did very well out of this one, though, didn't you'?

Really made a name for yourself.

You helped identify the big, bad headhunter.

Had nearly everyone convinced.

My gift is often misunderstood.

Gift'?

You call it a gift?

That's interesting because, and correct me if I'm wrong,

but a gift is something normally given for free,

and you, you charge $5.95 a minute for your gift.

You claim

you can see into the future.

Correct?

I can. At times.

But you didn't see this coming up, did you'?

You can't see anything, can you'?

Can you'?

No.

You won't be needing these then.

Wasn't so hard, was it'?

No! Redd, she's suffered enough!

No!

Now she's suffered enough.

Right.

Get back to work.

We 're all gonna die in here.

Like that.

We're all gonna die in here.

We're all gonna die!

What a messy girl she was.

You, uh, You want me

Yes, Mr. Tucker.

Spick and span. Spick and span.

Okay.

Okay.

This job sucks.

Good job, Mr. Tucker.

Most impressive.

I'm just happy you're happy.

That's the attitude.

If only that attitude were more evident in your other work.

In fact, I'm afraid I have to express extreme dissatisfaction

with the work of the group as a whole.

A company which does not get resuhs

cannot sustain itself.

And a company which cannot sustain itself,

has to start reevaluating its workers' positions.

It's time for a performance review.

Right.

What I want is for you to think back on that day.

The day you saw me.

Why were you at the building?

I'd been out drinking the night before.

I was hungover and I was late for a job interview.

You say I was grinning.

That's how I remember if.

And then I heard someone screaming,

and I realized it was me.

I had to get a delivery to a small publishing house.

I remember seeing this girl

who looked out of place.

Who I now know as Annabelle.

And then the elevator doors opened.

You looked terrified.

Like you were in shock.

I'd been tracking the headhunter for months.

I was pretty sure I knew where and when his next kill would be.

I just didn't know who it'd be.

I entered the lobby and there you were.

I told you to put the ax down.

After a moment you complied,

so I decided to use nun-lethal farce.

I took you into custody.

I did my best to have you acquitted, Redd.

Rest assured of that.

Did you really?

The prosecution's evidence,

it was overwhelming!

Guy Marr and the police asserted that I decapitated Ms. Shelly Bloom

in the lift. Correct?

Correct.

And nobody saw the actual killing

because the lift's camera was out. Also correct?

Yes.

I think you missed a key piece of evidence.

Are you aware that the lift in question was custom built'?

No.

But you are aware of Miloan brand elevators?

This black line

is the height of the Miloan brand elevator.

But this red line is the highest point

in the custom-built elevator.

Our elevator.

Okay.

Do you know how much pressure one has to use to decapitate a person?

No. No, I don't.

Because when the masked murderer

decapitated Ms. Shelly Bloom,

the prosecution asserted that he used his ax

like a guillotine to sever skin, sinew and bone

by using an extraordinary amount of farce.

Like this.

No, no, no, Redd, please.

Thank God.

What happened in there'?

Are you okay'?

Who's Peter Bava?

What?

There's an inconsistency here.

Peter Bava.

He's listed as an alibi witness but his statement was never taken.

Maybe it got lost.

That's what I thought, too, but the statement is listed as evidence

and

Edward.

Edward.

Do you know Peter Bava'?

Hang on, this is-This is your signature at the bottom, right'?

Edward.

Is that your signature?

It looks like it, but

Well, it either is or it isn't.

What are you hiding? Nothing.

This was all along time ago.

Do you know how many oases I've worked since then'?

Why should I care about any other case but this'?

Redd couldrft have killed Shelly Bloom.

What'?

No, no, no, I'm not saying that.

I just-I wanna know who Peter Bava is.

No.

He didn't have enough room to swing the ax.

Edward.

What are you hiding?

After I arrested Thomas Reddmann,

the media was all over me.

Detective Crandell catches the headhunter.

But Reddmann was so calm.

He had total faith in the system.

He had weak alibis for all the other murders.

He was always at work.

And when he wasn't in the office, he was nowhere he could prove.

But the second killing, he-

He had an alibi for the second.

The headhunter killing of October 14th.

Redd was firing an employee

for having a bad attitude.

That employee was a man by the name of...Peter Bava.

I asked him if he was certain

that the date he was fired on was the 14th.

And he said,

Yeah, man, check it out.

He gave me a letter of termination.

Seriously. I framed if.

The day they fired me from this place,

that was the greatest day of my life.

Come an, Peter. That guy was fucked up.

Any detective that works the streets

knows that if you've got 80% percent of the evidence, you can find the other 20%.

Well, I had 80% of the evidence. More, even.

I kept telling myself we had the right guy until Peter Bava.

But I've always known there's

a special place in hell for me for what I did.

Then I got shot on the job and I ended up in this chair.

It felt like I'd paid the price.

So, we're all here because of you.

Because you 're incumpe tent

or just because you're corrupt?

Oh, now you're calling me corrupt?

You withheld evidence.

I'm no expert, but that sounds an awful lot like corruption.

It was just one witness.

I only withheld one witness.

It's all so fucking easy to judge now.

Bu! at the time there was so much pressure an me,

I had to make an arrest.

Oh, fuck me.

Edward.

Is there something you want to tell me'?

Redd.

We can talk about this.

With this new evidence, I could get you a retrial.

But it's not new evidence, is it'?

It's evidence which was deliberately withheld by you.

Please.

Oh. Ah!

Oh!

What is this'?

What are you doing?

Sh.

Oh, is that

Is that my blood?

Sh.

Is that my blood?

Is that my leg'?

Is that my fucking leg'?

So, what's the verdict, Judge Conlon'?

One leg or two'?

No! Please!

No!

No!

Yes.

Redd.

Why aren't you asleep?

L-I was.

I need to go to the bathroom.

You people need to learn some self-respect.

I really

I really need to go.

It's always something.

Five minutes.

Okay.

Let's do this.

Time's up.

Shit.

Shit.

Oh, my God.

No!

You're not meant to die!

You're meant to suffer.

Haven'! you tortured him enough?

You just don't get it, do you'?

I'm an innocent man!

All you people had to do was your jobs!

Pay a bi! of attention when you're an eyewitness.

Do a bi! ofresearon when you're defending someone.

Don't hide the evidence!

If you fucks had done that,

you wouldrft be here!

Ah!

I'm out!

I'm out! I'm fuckin' out!

Wake up! Wake up!

Hey, hey, hey! Wake up. Wake up. Wake up.

Wake up!

Wake the fuck up!

Yes! We're getting out of here.

What'? We're getting out of here.

Where's Redd?

He's knocked out in HR.

Wake up! It's okay. I'm awake. It's okay.

Thanks.

Oh, for fuck's sake, come on!

Okay.

Well,

get back to work!

Just bring fucking everybody.

I'm gonna leave the phone off the hook.

They're coming.

We need weapons.

Yeah.

Are we really gonna kill this guy with stationery?

We're gonna try.

Where is he'?

I don't know.

Fuck.

Run!

Run!

Run!

There.

Run, run, run, run!

He's heading for us.

Guilty.

I was an innocent man.

Then Dr. Lansdale turns me into this.

Tell me, Miss Hale.

In my position, what would you do'?

You're right, Redd.

It's not fair what happened to you.

All I wanted was for people to do their jobs.

Do what they signed up to do.

Except we didn't sign up for this. None of us did.

So, you can take your fucking job

and shove it up your ass!

Oh, fuck!

I'll hold him off. Go!

Don't you come any closer.

What about Rudy? He': as good as dead.

Oh, my God.

Oh, shit. What a waste.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to let you go.

Annabelle.

You've got to understand.

This is nothing personal.

I mean, when you think about it, am I really the bad guy here?

I get rid of corrupt CEOs and I'm in the wrong. I mean, really?

I make the world a better place

one head at a time.

You know the plan for Bloom was no more complicated than the usual.

You just wait for the corporate bitch to get on the elevator,

and then you catch her on the next level down.

And that is when things turn ugly.

Why are we stopping here'? There isn't even

Redd had to fuck everything up

by being on the exact same elevator.

Sometimes you learn to improvise.

Getting away was the easy part.

In a weird way, we do have a lot to thank Redd for.

He did introduce us to each other.

It's a shame office romances rarely work out, huh'?

Put your hands up!

Put your hands in the air!

Put your hands up! Get on the ground!

Get on the ground now. Put your hands up and get on the fucking ground.

Get down now! Get down now!

Get down now!

Her BP's spiking off the charts.

It's okay, I've got it.

And she's out.

Good.

Did you see that back there'?

Yeah, I wish I hadn't.

There were bodies everywhere.

Did it make you horny?

No.

Bu! it made me want to get back to work!

Annabelle.

Ready for tonight?

I must be the best agent in the world.

They're all gonna be looking at me and judging me.

I don't know if I'm up for it.

Sweetheart, it's not gonna look good.

You've got to get out of your apartment and face this eventually.

I know.

I'll call you later.

Get dressed.

I'm coming over.

Okay.

You can do this

because you are one tough bitch.

H ello'? It's me, darling.

Come on up.

Hi. Lock the door! Lock and close the door!

Sorry, love

Look what you made me do.

Oh, poor Annabelle.

Such a disappointment.

I thought we had an understanding.

I really liked you.

We both kept our mouths shut and then

all of a sudden you go and write a fucking book about us'?

I mean, what were you thinking?

Huh?

Whatever happened to discretion?

I got my hands on a copy of your grubby little manuscript

from a very reluctant publisher.

“Dr. I ansdale transformed Redd.

He created the boss from hell."

This is my favorite.

"William, on the other hand,

“was a self-made psychopath,

arrogant and deluded."

Now, Annabelle, I don't know if you've heard this,

but there are a lot of people who are very dubious about the scribblings

of a stripper, so I'm gonna do you one last favor.

I'm gonna kill you.

They will wonder why you didn't tum up to your own book launch.

Come back here and find your decapitated body,

and see that actually

you weren't crazy!

Help!

Help!

Help! Somebody!

He's trying to kill me!

Help.

Get behind me.

Please, no.

Get away from me.

Job well done, Miss Hale.

You may need some shoes.

Meanwhile

lhave a pressing appointment with Dr. Lansdale.

I'll be in touch.

And here she is haw, the aufhur,

Annabelle Hale.

I'd like you to meet William Tucker.

The real headhunter.

So.

Questions?
