Circle

Hello?

Hello?

Stop.

Don't move.

They can see us.

What is this?

I don't know.

Where are we?

Where do you think?

Hello?

Oh, my God! It's all right, okay?

It's all right. You're okay. Help! Help!

Just calm down!

- John! - You're fine.

Where are you?

Oh, shit.

Is she dead?

I think so.

Jesus Christ. What was that?

I don't know.

What was that?

Oh, shit.

What the fuck?

- What? - Everyone freeze!

- Oh, my God. - They can see if we move.

Stand still, and we'll be fine.

Don't lift your feet off the ground.

And don't touch anyone.

- What's that noise? - Shh!

Oh, my God.

Where's that coming from?

Quiet!

Okay, now...

calm down. Calm down.

It's no use!

- Everybody calm down! - No.

- We need to calm down. - Everybody!

Calm the fuck down!

Just... just think! Breathe.

Here we go.

Everybody shut up for one second!

Does anybody know what the hell's going on?

They're killing us.

No, it's not them.

Are you guys seeing this?

The lights on the floor... you see them move?

- No, I don't see anything. - What lights?

What are you talking about? Look at your hands.

When you move them, it changes the floor.

Oh, shit.

Yeah.

I only see one.

Yeah, I only see mine.

I think you can only see your own.

What did they do to us?

I think they messed with our hands.

What does that mean?

- It's us. - Us?

What do you mean?

We're choosing who dies.

- Fuck! - What happened?!

Somebody did it.

Nobody fucking do anything, okay?

Well, it's not working, you see?

We have to try something.

Nobody do it!!

Okay.

God damn it!

- What the hell? - What is wrong with you people?

All of us, We're gonna die! All of us, We're gonna die!

We're all fucked!

Oh, my God.

This is unbelievable.

It's a vote.

What?

We're voting.

Look, they're killing whoever gets the most votes.

How do you know that?

Because the chimes go off when you close your hands.

And that's when you choose.

We should try not doing it again.

Forget it. Someone's gonna screw it up.

Wait.

What if we... what if we vote for her again?

Yeah, let's try that. Okay.

Guys, that's not... no, that's not gonna work.

We have to try something.

Yeah, everybody, let's vote for the dead woman again.

- Really? Are you serious? - Come on.

You guys picked the wrong person.

- No, we didn't. - Guys, it just doesn't work.

But why him?

Maybe he got the second-most votes.

- Or the most so far? - We have to try something.

No, I-it's not gonna work, guys, okay?

There's nothing we can do. We're all screwed.

- Let's try not voting again. - Please.

- It's not gonna work. - We need to try.

Okay, nobody vote. Let's wait it out.

How do we know that won't kill us all?

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5...

Is it over?

- Oh, my God. - Okay, nobody move!

Just everybody let's ride this out.

No!

If we don't choose, it chooses on its own.

Somebody needs to do something! This is not working, obviously.

- When you said that... - Everybody quiet!

Now, there is no reason

for us all to just keep killing each other off like this.

Well, what the hell else are we gonna do, my man?

We don't have a choice.

What I mean is we can choose to go about this in a certain way.

Look.

So There's about a minute or two between each round.

That's not a lot of time. Yeah, no shit.

Maybe if we spend less time worrying

about who's gonna die next and more time trying

to figure this thing out,

we'll get somewhere and be able to stop this.

What do you suggest?

Okay, I've been looking around the circle.

And I see five or six people in their 70s and 80s.

If this is a vote, I say they go first.

That'll buy us some time.

- Please. - No, no, hell, no, man.

- Mnh-mnh. - Are you serious?

Look, the way I see it,

they'd be the next people to die in real life, right?

What's the difference? He's right.

Old people first.

That's, uh, t-that's fair. How is that fair?

They'd be the next to die anyway.

Yeah, of natural causes, not of us killing them.

- What's the difference? - This is crazy.

- We have no choice. - That's fucked up, kid.

It's a fucked up situation, but we have to do something.

Which one first?

We'll start with him, go clockwise after that.

1, 2, 3...

Now wait a minute.

4, 5, 6.

That should buy us 10 minutes.

No, no, no. There has to be another way.

You have a better idea?

Anyone?

We're sorry.

It's the only way.

But I have just as much of a right to live as any of you.

You've lived your life, old man.

Please.

Please!

Okay.

I know that was hard, but you all did the right thing.

We're gonna have to make some difficult decisions.

Just shut up, all right? We get it.

You wanted to buy some time, and we did that.

Let's not waste it.

Let's figure out what the hell this is.

Any ideas?

Come on! Somebody?

What about him?

- Who, me? - Yeah, I mean, you ought to know

something about this. I don't know anything.

- Oh, bullshit. - Yeah, yeah, yeah,

you guys have to know. Know about what?

Uh, how about... what about a fucking alien invasion?

- I don't know. - What?

Look, I know just as much as you do.

- Bullshit, man. - I swear I don't know anything.

Well, does anybody remember anything else?

I was in glendale.

Yeah, I do.

We were stuck in traffic on the freeway.

- Me, too. - So was I.

Right, uh, we were trying to get out of the city,

but it was total log jam, so I got out of the car

and... and started running.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Everybody was running.

Yeah, and then everything went dark.

That's what I remember.

So, what happened?

- I was pulled up. - Into the ship?

I don't know.

Tractor beam?

Fuck.

- So are we in the ship now? - Do you think there are

other people doing this? Other circles?

They wouldn't go through all of this for just 50 of us.

Why Would they do this?

I don't know, but the next time that I could see,

I was in a small room, and everything was red,

like, um, like a darkroom.

And there were a ton of bodies piled up on one another.

I assumed that they were dead, but I don't know.

They might have just been unconscious.

Everybody but me and one other guy.

- An alien? - No. No, no, no, he was a human.

- Who? One of us? - I don't know.

I don't see him in here.
