Cube

I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

It's all right. I'm not gonna hurt you.

What do you want?

I thought you were...

What?

I don't know.

Help! Help!

Help! Help!

Stop!

- What? What? - It's okay. Come here.

It's okay. Calm down. Everything's gonna be fine.

What was in there?

Just gimme a minute to figure things out.

- Why were you afraid of that room? - Gimme a minute I said.

How many people are in this thing?

Listen. We can't go climbing around in here.

Why not?

- There are traps. - What do you mean traps?

Booby traps. I looked into a room down there and

something almost cut my head off.

Holy cats. Holy, holy cats.

You alright? Mister?

Worth!

Don't worry.

I hit my head.

Let me take a look at that. I'm a doctor. It doesn't look that bad.

What the hell are you doing?

Hey, old man, did you hear what I said?

Motion detectors. Integrated into the walls. Tough to spot.

Oh god, oh god, oh god.

Wait a second. Let's all just relax for a minute.

Does anybody remember how they got here?

Perogies.

I was eating dinner.

Perogies. Cheese and potatoes.

I ran out of sour cream and then I went to the fridge and then...

I don't know.

You? Leaven?

I, I just went to bed and...

What about you?

I just woke up here.

Middle of the night.

It's like Chile. They always come in the middle of the night.

Who?

Only the goverment could build something this ugly.

It ain't government.

- Then what is it? - I don't know.

Aliens.

Please. We're spooked enough as it is.

Let's rule out aliens for now and concentrate on what we know.

My mom's gonna freak.

Rennes?

- I just won't be there. They'll freak. - What do you think, Rennes?

We won't solve jack shit sittin' still.

I'm moving in a straight line 'till I get to the end.

All right, I tend to agree.

- Shouldn't we wait here? - For what?

To see if anybody comes.

No one is gonna come.

Look. There is a way in here, so there's gotta be a way out.

We can avoid the traps using the boot.

Holloway is it? What do you think? Look for an exit?

Okay.

What about you?

- It can't be that simple. - It won't be that simple.

Look around. Take a good long looksee.

'Cause I got a feeling it's looking at us.

I just want to wake up.

Leaven. We can do this.

We just have to stay calm and work together as a team.

There's gonna be a lot of people looking for us on the outside.

I'm a cop.

All right?

- You're a cop? - Yeah.

I'm gonna get you out of here. I promise.

You gotta be with me on this one.

Okay.

Boot it!

Clean.

That one sounded closer.

It's mechanical. It seems to come at regular intervals.

Maybe it's the ventilation system.

- No vents. - No kidding, I'm boiling.

What is it?

Serial numbers?

Room numbers. They're different in each room.

Oh great. There are only 566 millions 400 thousand rooms in this thing.

Well, there better not be?

We have about 3 days without food and water

before we are too weak to move.

Well, they have to feed us, don't they?

Holloway.

Oh, we have heat, stress, physical exsection, i.e., dehydratation,

headaches, dizziness, disorientation, confused mental processes.

The body eventually begins to break down its own tissue.

Suck on it.

Keeps the saliva flowing.

- What? - The air seems dry in there.

Trapped?

Molecular chemical sensor.

Why the hell didn't the boot set it off?

The boot's not alive.

Detects hydrogen sulphide excreted from the skin.

How is it you know so much about sensors, Renz?

Renn. Not Renz. It's French.

Fine, you're French. I'm asking how you...

Renn. Sensor expert,

about the right age.

I don't believe it.

- This guy is the Wren. - The what?

He's the Wren. The Bird of Attica. Flew the coop on 6 major prisons.

Seven.

You're kidding, right?

You can get us out.

Maybe.

An escape artist.

Yeah, I'm Harry fucking Houdini.

The only reason I dragged you this far is 'cause I need your boots.

If you don't smarten up, I'll be gone like that.

No more talking.

No more guessing.

Don't even think about nothing that's not right in front of you.

That's the real challenge.

You got to save yourselves from yourselves.

Merde.

Get him out!

Oh my god!

So, it was electro chemical or whatever, right? And he missed it.

The Wren. That's great! That's fuckin' great!

All right. It's time to reassess this place.

I've been over it again and again.

Why would they throw innocent people in here?

Are we being punished?

I've never done anything to deserve this.

Forget about all that!

You can't see the big picture from in here, so don't try.

Keep your head down. Keep it simple.

Just look at what's in front of you.

That's what he said.

Start with us. We got an escape artist and a cop.

There's gotta be a reason for that.

You're doctor, Holloway. It gives you a function, a reason, right?

No. It's just makes me go why me

and why not one of the other 10 million doctors out there.

Leaven, what are you?

Nothing. I just go to school. I hang out with my friends.

- What else? - There's nothing else.

My parents are these people. I live with them. I'm boring.

I think we have to ask the big questions.

What does it want?

What is it thinking?

One down, four to go.

Why don't you tell us what your purpose is, Worth?

Often wondered that myself.

I'm just a guy.

I work in an office building, doing office building stuff.

I wasn't exactly bursting with "joie de vivre" before I got here.

Life just sucks in general.

- I can't stand that attitude. - Because he's right.

What's your purpose, Quentin?

Kids, three of them.

I haven't made my peace yet.

I'm getting out of here, no matter what.

That's where my strength comes from.

You, people, find yours wherever you got it.

For Christ's sake, Worth. What do you live for?

Don't you have a wife or a girlfriend, or something?

No. I've got a pretty fine collection of pornography.

Oh, nice, nice.

I haven't got anybody either, but I'm not giving up! I am pissed off.

They came into our homes!

They stripped us bare. They took my rings, they took...

...oh, my amethyst.

I wanna know who's responsible.

Leaven. Your glasses?

You don't need them?

They're for reading.

Well they took off our jewelry, but why they put these on you.

If nothing is random,

why are they here?

Leaven. What do you do in school? Math?

What can they mean?

149.

Prime numbers. I can't believe I didn't see it before.

See what?

It seems like, if any of these numbers are prime,

then the room's trapped.

645, 645... That's not prime.

372... no.

649...

Well, 11 times 59. It's not prime either.

So that room is safe.

Wait.

How can you make that assumption based on one prime number trap?

I'm not. The incinerator thing was prime 083.

The molecular chemical thing had 137. The acid room had 149.

You remember all that in your head?

I have a facility for it.

Leaven, you beautiful brain.

Boot it.
