Play or Die

Ready? Go.

Hello.

I guess you don't take the card under a tenner, right?

Hi.

What do you want?

Nice to see you too.

I don't know.

To check up on you?

You came here to check up on me?

I'm worried about you.

You look tired.

Stop, Chloe.

What do you really want?

The final part of Paranoia starts today.

- Get out. - I'm serious.

We're only one level short of entering the game.

Only one puzzle left to solve.

- Get out of here. - I'm sure you can solve it.

No one's ever been as far as you in Paranoia.

I don't give a shit.

Do you understand?

It's all over, Chloe.

Are you listening to me?

- It all begins today. - No, you listen to me.

I haven't seen your face in months,

and the first thing you want to do is come in here

and talk to me about this bullshit.

We spent a year 24/7 sitting in front of our computers,

searching for a lead, for nothing.

You're not interested in the million-euro prize?

I don't want to go back to that place. It destroyed us.

You know that's not what destroyed us.

Just think of what the two of us could do with a million euros.

The two of us?

I read an article in the paper about two black swans

that disappeared from the zoo in Manchester.

Two black swans.

That's the emblem of Paranoia.

That's just a coincidence.

Except that the zoo never had any black swans.

I checked it out.

- That is weird. - I wrote to the zoo.

I got a message back:

"24 be careful."

"24 be careful," that must be a code.

Twenty... okay, two numbers, two words.

Could tell you the zip code.

So let's just assume A equals 1, B equals 2,

C equals 3, D equals 4.

You get 24, which equals BD.

What is it, "Be careful"?

First letter of each words are B and C, which is 23.

So you get BD23.

There you go, the home page of Skipton City,

zip code: BD23.

"Preservation of our ecosystem"...

"Protection of the black swan."

This is it. "A year on the road

"brings us back to the same place, as always.

We'll be there tonight until midnight."

What does it mean?

"A year on the road brings us back..."

Type in "01" into the first box.

"Brings us back to the same place...

as always."

Try the infinity symbol.

"We'll be there tonight until midnight."

Type today's date: 0811.

It's not working.

Okay, go back.

"A year on the road..."

01 again.

Let's try 00 instead of the infinity.

08...

You've got it. A rave in Skipton.

You're a genius.

Let's find it.

Mum?

Please, may I ask you something?

You're not going to like what I'm about to tell you.

But I'm going to go for a ride with Chloe tonight,

if that's okay.

I know what you're thinking,

that she's hurt me too much, and.

Please can you just forgive me

for still being in love with her?

Sorry, I'm going to have to clean my car one of these days.

You can put that in the back if you want.

No rave in sight so far.

- There. - Where?

There, over there, I can see it.

I don't get it.

If we're on Paranoia's playground,

who's running the show?

Like, who's paying for all this?

And who are all these people?

Like, are they real partiers or are they part of the game?

Shit. Naomi's here.

I'm guessing she's still in the game then.

More than ever.

But if she's here,

that means we're on the right track.

Come on, let's find Paranoia's entrance before she does.

- Can you hear that? - What?

The music of Swan Lake.

- That's techno. - No, no, no, no.

It's in the distance. It's...

It's further. Come on.

What the hell.

You are late.

There is only one joystick.

- How do we play each other? - We play against the computer.

- Do you want to go first? - No, thanks.

Ah...

Go, go, go, go, go.

Shit.

Your turn.

Round one.

Fight.

Yes!

You should hurry up. You still have a long way to go.

So, where are we going now?

Okay there's the GPS coordinates.

Let me check.

Got it.

There's Paranoia.

Looks like it.

They're waiting for you.

There's cameras everywhere.

It's normal.

They have to monitor the game.

Sorry, guys, we started without you.

Welcome anyway.

I am Ray.

I'm Maxine.

Jablowski.

I'm Chloe.

So you're back in the game?

I haven't seen you online for a while.

Welcome to Paranoia, ladies and gentlemen.

First of all, we wish to congratulate you.

Of the thousands of hopefuls,

only you made it all the way here.

This competition was created for you.

It will push your abilities to the limit.

It will exploit your weaknesses and test you like never before.

This hospital is your playground.

It's furthermost recesses,

it's darkest corners,

are yours for the entire duration of the game.

You're about to play a gigantic escape game.

You'll need to solve puzzles to get out of each room

and move on to the next level.

Every time you exit a room,

you will be given a piece of the puzzle.

You've already found the first piece on the table.

Once complete, the puzzle will reveal the combination

to the exit of the hospital.

You have been divided into teams of two.

The first team to exit the hospital

wins the million-euro prize.

Be aware that you will not be allowed to leave the game

once it has begun.

Finally, does anyone among you want to give up and leave now?

This is your last chance.

Chloe?

As you can see,

you are all isolated to start the game.

Now, you must find your teammate to stay in the game.

Three, two, one.

Go.

Chloe?

Chloe, can you hear me?

Lucas? Lucas, I can hear you.

There's a vent connecting our two rooms.

- Do you see it? - Yeah, I see it.

I found a key, but it doesn't open any locks.

Does it fit the door?

It doesn't have a lock.

Does it have a metal plate on it too?

No, not even.

How am I supposed to open this fucking door?

Okay, right. Chloe, I've got it, okay?

If you can't open it, then it has to be me.

I need you to throw the key down, is that okay?

Done.

No, it's not far enough.

I've got it, I've got it. Okay, wait there, Chloe.

Hey.

Okay, let's go.

Okay, now look for Room 7.

Here.

Okay.

Whoa, what is this place?

Okay, so, I mean,

I'm guessing we have to exit back through this door?

And there's a keypad here,

so we need to find some sort of code.

Do you think we have to put this thing on?

Yes.
