Isolated

What am I doing here?

What am I doing here?

Hello?

Is anyone there?

I'm somewhere safe they say.

This is in the ocean.

It's warm.

The sun touches my face.

You're here.

I can see you.

Everything will be fine.

Dawn, where did you go?

Where the hell am I?

I know this is stupid, but I don't have any better ideas.

I don't know.

Maybe I can get someone's attention.

It's no different than talking to you in person.

You left.

I'm sorry, sir.

I'm facing the ocean.

I swear.

This one touches my face.

You're here.

I could see you.

Everything will be fine.

Oh.

Fuck you.

Fuck you.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello!

Is anyone over there?

Hello!

Is anyone over there?

Is anyone over there?

Clearly.

Is it clear?

Can you tell me what I'm doing here.

I would tell you but I didn't do it.

You didn't do what?

Did they give you a chair?

No, they didn't give me.

Who are they?

They put us here.

Do you know who they are?

I don't know their names.

OK but-- but you know what they look like?

I-- I asked you a question, do you know what they look like?

I don't know what you look like.

This is going to--

Look, I'm-- listen, let's start with the name.

Name?

Yeah, as in-- as in your name.

It's not very comfortable sitting on the floor, is it?

How do you know that I'm sitting on the floor?

When you responded to my question about the chair.

I don't have a chair.

Look, my name is Nell.

Hello, fish.

Welcome to the barrel.

It's-- it's-- it's short for Inelle.

That's a strange name

I like it.

Me too.

Travis.

OK, Travis, why don't you tell me

about that room you're in over there?

I guess I'll go first.

It's empty.

And it's cold.

There's no chair.

Three of the walls are concrete maybe and one of the walls

is drywall I guess.

And there's something painted on the wall.

It's a--

A number.

Yeah.

Six.

No, it's a nine.

The wall I'm at has a big industrial door.

Knock, knock.

And above it there's a speaker--

Knock, knock.

Please cut it out.

The sound comes from the horn when the green lights come on.

Yeah, and the wall across from me has an LED clock installed.

They're both too high to reach.

What does your clock read?

Right now it's 41 minutes in change.

It's counting.

It's counting down now.

Yeah, the only other things that I have--

Are you comfortable?

Why would you ask me that?

Travis,

Nell.

Why would you ask me if I'm comfortable?

It's a polite thing to ask.

I'm not very comfortable.

Right.

The only other thing that I have is this--

The rope.

Yeah.

It's enough to hang myself with.

I can't do that anymore.

Not now.

Why?

There's a latch up there on the skylight.

They was calling out to me.

It's broken now-- the latch.

Did you even try to get out of here before you gave up

and you decided--

There are a lot of moving parts to this.

What does that mean, parts?

The room.

What is wrong with you?

Let's put a pin in that.

What happens if I try to climb out of here?

The latch won't hold.

How hard can it be?

You're not understanding me, fish.

Yeah, that's an understatement.

The latch will not hold.

No.

What?

Do you know how to tie the knot that's tamper proof, one

that no one can break for you?

You shouldn't do this.

That's not the way out.

Nell?

Nell?

I fell.

Come closer.

Nell, you're still here.

Still here?

That was right.

Yeah, Travis.

I think I've done something to my shoulder.

Does it hurt?

Yeah.

You fix it.

Find a hard surface, pressure your arm against--

Travis, I'm not listening to another word you say.

Travis, I'm not listening to another word you say.

Probably best to fix it before the adrenaline wears off.

You're welcome.

Who are you really?

I'm Travis.

Did you put me here?

No, they did.

Are you watching me?

I'm listening.

Nell, Nell.

Travis, you know this song?

It's a favorite.

Who's it by?

Travis, who sings this--

Hello, stranger.

Hello to you too.

Someone special played that song for me

when I was younger I think.

Strange it's-- it's comforting.

There's something off about it though, something dark.

Are you hearing that?

Hearing what?

Nothing.

Never mind.

Nell, what are you worrying?

Travis, I need to ask you something,

and I need you to be honest with me.

I only ever tell the truth.

Did you put me here in this room?

I did not put you in your room.

What happens when this clock reaches 0?

The lights will turn off.

What does that mean?

Have you been through this before?

Travis, how could that unless you put me here

or you've been through this before?

Answer me.

The lights were shut off when the clock reaches 15 minutes

and then the door opens.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's what happened before.

How do I get out of here now?

I don't have the answers now, but together you and I

can find them.

Nell.

Travis.

How do you feel about being here?

I don't-- I feel--

I feel angry.

I feel frustrated.

I feel abandoned and--

and terrified.

I just-- I just feel--

Do you feel like somehow you deserve to be here?

I don't know how to answer that.

It's a difficult thing to consider,

but I feel like I should be here,
