Escape: Puzzle of Fear (2020) - full transcript

Looks like you
only have three more minutes.

How disappointing that must be?

Forget about the others,
keep trying the door.

Oh snap.

There has
to be a way out.

Guys, it's open.

Oh God.

I don't
mean to baby you

but you only have two more
minutes to try and escape.

It's locked.

No shit.



My mama says
that they're not real

but they haunt me.

Every since I can remember,
I've been followed by ghosts.

The only place they don't
bug me is under my bed.

What do we do?

How do we get out?

Keep looking
for a clue, a key,

something to get us out of here.

This is so weird.

Hey, I found
another weird thing.

- Only 30 seconds.
- You guys, hurry.

There's magnets on top of these.

Give me the bottles.

There's got to be one more.



- Come on, come on.
- I got it, here.

It's a distraction.

Congratulations, you guys
just became the first test group

to make it out alive.

That was insane.

Oh good.

I really thought we
were gonna die in there.

Yes.

That was the best
escape room I've ever done.

Key.

Can't wait to see what
mystery you guys pick up next.

Get out.

Morning.

Hey.

Yeah.

Bye babe.

Name was Annie and it had
very purply rainbowish scales

and I absolutely loved it

and I woke up one morning
and it was just gone.

I have no idea what happened.

You know, it was very sad.

It's here, the monster's back.

Please help, the
monster's in my room.

It's in my room, the
monster's in my room.

Please help, help!

There's a monster in
here, it's over there.

No, I'm not okay, I'm not okay.

No, I'm not okay.

She's okay.

Like I said, she still
needs to eat her food.

She had another psychotic break.

She's not listening

and she needs four more shots

and I suggest we
add another one on.

I think that that
would really help a lot

if we do something like that.

All right.

It wasn't me.

Why doesn't anyone believe me?

Stop, stop, stop it wasn't me.

Why doesn't anyone believe me?

Stop, stop!

Why doesn't anyone believe me?

Stop!

He's late.

He's always fucking late.

Patience.

Smooth run tonight.

The trap doors, the puzzles,
clues are easy enough.

It only took 17 years.

Patience is a virtue.

Hey, hey.

Where were you?

I got caught up
at the pharmacy.

Do we have a problem?

Uh no, no problem, man,

I got the stuff right here.

Well, man,

did you get everything we need?

Yeah, it's all there.

I even threw in a couple
extra needles, just in case.

Look, I wrote down
my clear instructions

on how to use it.

This is some serious
shit, though.

Are you sure you
guys don't need me

to help administer the dose?

Look at the fine mess
you've made, Tabitha.

Please, I was just
starting to clean up.

The boss
isn't gonna like this.

Next please.

Hi, can I get a black coffee,

two bear claws and...

We're actually out of
bear claws right now.

Is there anything
else you'd like?

Oh okay, what do
you want sweetheart?

Donut holes.

You want donut holes?

Okay, that's fine.

All right, so it'll
be $15.75 please.

Awesome.

Oh crap, oh no, I think
I forgot my wallet.

Oh my gosh.

I'm so sorry, hold
on one moment.

I got this.

No, you don't
have to, it's okay.

I want to.

Well...

Thank you, that's
really kind of you.

No, it's no problem.

Can you say thank you

to this nice gentleman?

Thank you.

It's my pleasure.

How's the clean up coming?

Just another
drug deal gone bad.

Such a shame really,

everyone so hoped
that legalizing

would quell criminality.

Your efforts are
greatly appreciated.

I live a life of service.

Are you fucking kidding me?

What?

It's a rental.

Look, my boy Mattie has
found the one, I'm celebrating.

The one?

Please.

Do I detect a little jealousy?

Yeah, that's it.

It's all right,
that's your ex,

I feel it, I feel it.

Feeling like you
married the wrong guy?

If I had married Mattie,

I wouldn't have to keep
asking him for money.

Alrighty, let's
get you all buckled.

Ah crap.

Hey, hey, hey, I
got you, I got you.

What are you, like my
guardian angel or something?

Maybe.

Hold on.

Oh hi honey.

Yeah, I realize that.

Well, you know, actually
the person behind us

offered to pay.

It was really nice of him.

Well yeah, we're on
our way back right now.

I love you too.

Okay bye.

I'm sorry about that

but thank you again, I
really appreciate it.

Here, in case you
ever need to call

on your guardian angel.

I just might do
that, thank you.

Are you ready to go see daddy?

Yeah.

Hi, I'm so glad you made it.

Hi, nice to finally meet you.

Tyler, I've heard
a lot of stories.

I bet.

It's so nice to see you.

Can I help you with your bag?

No, I'm good.

There he is.

It's good to see you, man.

Good to see you.

I like your new toy.

She's pretty great.

Hey babe, why don't you
show 'em the guest room?

I'm gonna take a quick swim.

Okay, let's go.

Matthew wanted to make
sure you were comfortable.

I'm wet.

Do you need anything?

We'll just get settled in.

Great, you settle
in and I'll be around.

Need a hand?

It's very clever.

Halloween 1995.

Really, you're gonna go there?

What happened Halloween 1995?

Come on, Ang, like
you need another reason?

We were drunk,

just skating around
looking for a little party.

Matt.

Ease up, all right?

So we come across this
old house that's for sale.

It's completely empty,

teenage boy's dream.

Well Tyler decides
to pull the old B&E.

Tyler decides?

Okay, all right, I don't think
I like your tone brother.

He just starts
tearing the place up.

I start tearing?

Okay, what were you doing, hmm,

just knitting in the corner
like a good upstanding citizen?

Would you expect any less?

You guys are so dumb.

And you didn't get caught?

No, just wait.

Hey.

So we're wasted.

Boys will be boys.

And there's a
knock at the door.

Just stop.

Tyler puts his mask back on

to do some weird shit.

Why are you doing this?

And it was the cops.

Tyler literally pisses himself.

He's sitting there
bawling in tears.

We did a 12 hour
stint in juvey

waiting for our
parents to show up.

Mattie's mom was pissed.

No shit.

To Mattie, the best
worst sidekick ever.

Cheers.

More wine?

Yes, please.

In fact, I'll help you.

Yes, please.

Wrong number?

Ain't nothing
wrong about that.

Still the same old dog, huh?

I got a few new tricks.

I've known Mattie
a very long time.

They're very close.

They share everything.

What about her?

I thought you said
she was the one?

No, she's great.

Not smart enough
to ask questions,

hungry enough to appreciate
what I provide for her.

They share everything,

everything but secrets.

And that ass.

And that ass.

But man, you are always the man.

We'll have a night
cap in the pool.

Babe, wear that suit
we got in Italy.

Do you hear yourself?

You are too much.

I'm drunk, sorry.

You ever get nervous?

How wasted are you?

Very.

You got all this shit,
house, job, this life.

Do you ever get nervous

that one day it could
all just go away?

No.

Shit man, sometimes I wake
up in the middle of the night

clenching my chest.

You ever think do you
really deserve this life?

Easy.

I don't
know how you do it.

I know I can

so I do.

I guess.

Dude, you live dangerously
close to the line.

I'm done with
this conversation.

Does this bother you?

It's nothing Mattie
hasn't seen before.

Angela hates me.

Yeah well, Ang is a
fucking monster cunt.

You bet she is.

What was that?

A crow, hit the window.

Is it dead?

No.

Is it suffering?

It won't die for awhile.

I was nine

and Mandy was six.

Oh I made it.

Go Mandy, hurry!

We were just little girls.

Hey.

Hi.

What are you guys doing?

Playing with my sister.

Looks fun.

Yeah.

Come on, girls, lunch
is ready, let's go.

Please mama, please let us
go trick-or-treating alone.

I'm big enough to
watch out for sissy.

Aw, big brave Emily.

You swear you'll
look out for her?

Swear.

Okay then.

Yeah!

But come back before dark,

don't go too far.

Really look after your sister

and don't take any open candy.

We won't, mom.

I love you, girls.

Love you too, mama.

Trick or treat.

Trick or treat.

Trick or treat.

Huh!

Mandy, where are you going?

I don't think anyone's home.

What's wrong?

You don't have to be scared.

I couldn't move.

I was so scared by
what I was seeing.

And I saw you for
what you really are.

A monster.

Mandy, no!

Let me go!

Let me go!

Let me go!

What did you do to Mandy?

Come on
man, we got to,

we got to call the cops, man.

We got to get some help.

What, what
do you want to do?

She's already dead.

Do you want to call the cops?

I wonder what they would say

if I told them I
stumbled upon you

with two dead girls?

Two?

No man, this was an accident.

We don't have to do this one.

No, no, no Tyler,
this isn't an accident.

This is kidnapping
and it's murder.

Ah man,
we can't do this.

I don't
know why he did it,

officer, he's deranged.

He lured these two
small girls into here.

I thought we were just
gonna go trick or treating.

Nah, they
wouldn't believe you.

What, you think
they would believe you over me?

Tell me why
you want to do this.

Because
I fucking can.

Come here.

Come here.

Now you have been a
bad little girl, Emily.

You're jealous of
your little sister.

You missed being the
only child, didn't you?

You brought your sister
out here to kill her

so you could be the
only child again.

If you ever tell
anyone about this,

and we'll kill the rest
of your family too.

My baby sister's body.

Are you seeing
the monsters right now?

They're hiding.

I see.

No, no, no!

Please, you have to help me.

It's gonna kill me like
it killed my sister.

It's gonna be okay,
sweetie, it's gonna be okay.

Keep your mouth shut

as you have been given lines

and do not speak to the
participants at all.

This is
a handsome crowd.

Everyone was so happy to help.

Well that really
warms my heart.

And how are you this morning?

I feel like it's Christmas Eve

and I can't wait to open my
fucking Christmas present.

And I've been such a
good little girl, daddy.

Just a few hours more.

The boss is really
pleased with us.

You will all surely be
rewarded for your efforts.

You cannot stray from the plan.

You must remain in control.

And whatever you do,

you have to stay on schedule.

You all look fabulous.

You get dressed

because it's showtime, folks.

File out.

You.

Wow buddy,
this looks delicious.

Just try it.

Oh, saved by the buzz.

Joe, I'm gonna take this.

Hey.

I was raw vegan for awhile

but my doctor advised
me against it.

Oh really?

Matthew has me on
a jogging regimen,

three miles a day.

Matthew, are you
still doing Pilates?

You know, I've been doing
Pilates, yoga, cross training,

and I've been running
like eight miles.

It's insane.

It's like...

Hey, so my buddy Joe

has tickets to the
new escape room.

Escape room, like
the Jodie Foster movie?

No, that's Panic Room.

Look, I got the trailer here.

Can you play this on your TV?

Stop in for a
visit to the Escape Hotel,

a real life puzzle.

Oh my God, I've never been
in an escape room before.

I had no clue what
was gonna happen.

I was freaked out of my mind.

Where did I find the clues?

I found the clues in
the weirdest places,

where nobody should go.

It was absolutely insane.

We were running
down this hallway,

we had no idea
which room it was.

Sometimes I questioned
if the puzzles

were actually part
of an escape room

or if I was in some
Saw-like psycho's labyrinth.

I was gonna die.

I was like oh my God.

Three, two, one, time's up.

I don't get it, is
it a haunted house?

No, like the video just said,

an escape room is
a real life game

where you're locked in a room

and you have to use the
elements of the room

to solve a series of puzzles

and escape within
a set time limit.

Exactly.

And my buddy has four tickets.

He was gonna go on a double date

but the other couple canceled so

he doesn't want to go alone.

That's odd.

Oh my gosh, that sounds
so fun, we should do it.

Maybe it'll be like Saw

and I get to choose whether
I survive or kill my husband.

Don't laugh, she's serious.

What do you think babe?

Sure, why not?

My man.

Welcome to the Escape Hotel.

What is your business here?

We have reservations for
the Crime and Justice room.

Ah, so you're surrendering
yourselves to the court?

Oh come on, we're here for
the escape room bullshit.

Follow me.

This is extremely impressive.

Lieutenant, these
must be the last

of the suspects to surrender.

Come on.

Summons and identification.

Really?

Summons and identification

or we can do this the hard way.

Nope, sorry, I got it.

Here you go,

Tyler Jones, party of four.

Brittany Lamb, Angela Lopez,
Tyler Jones, Matthew Blake,

you are under
arrest in connection

to the disappearance
of two little girls.

Really?

It's part of it.

We've combed every
nook and cranny

looking for those little girls.

Not one trace of their body.

Their bodies?

One can only assume

that they're already dead.

Can we just get
back to this or?

We're sorry, go
ahead, go ahead.

Go ahead, please.

Okay, okay.

Any personal or
valued belongings

shall be relinquished
at this time.

Wallets, cell phones,
watches and other possessions

or I will remove
them from your person

and hold them against your will.

Okay, okay, we'll
play by your rules.

This is already too stupid.

You have the right
to remain silent

and I suggest you use it.

Anything you say

can and will be held against
you in a court of law.

And God help the sick son of
a bitch who's found guilty.

There is a special place
in hell for child abusers.

Officer, lead them
to the line up.

Let's
move it out, people.

Good job, Becky.

That one felt good.

Getting better every day.

Line it up.

Bit pushy.

You are so sleek.

Thank you.

Do not speak to other guests.

That's right, sorry, yes, sir.

Sit tight, the lead
detective is en route.

No phones.

Suck a dick.

Watch it.

Roger that, captain.

Tough guy.

Hey, you look very beautiful.

You hey, you remind
me of my mother.

Oh you got jungle fever, huh?

Are you kidding me?

Quiet.

Seriously?

Hey, no worries, brother.

Hey, not worth it.

Seriously?

The detective.

How you all doing?

Great, we're pumped.

Right guys?

Given the unique circumstances

surrounding the disappearance
of these young ladies,

we're gonna be conducting
this investigation

in a slightly unorthodox way.

Sign and pass it down.

Apparently this guy had a job

at like a real insane asylum.

Now he runs this place,
ain't that so cool?

My name is Sam.

This is my partner Tabitha.

We have a piece of evidence

that leads us to believe

that one of you knows the
whereabouts of these young girls.

And we have the authority
to hold you here

until either they're home safely

or their bodies are uncovered.

Please fill out the personal
information accordingly.

It's a standard
release form, just sign.

But first thing's
first, welcome.

Mmm God.

Seriously?

Now we know that
only one of you

is guilty of this crime.

But none of you are
innocent really.

The best justice is revenge.

We're gonna be watching
you all very closely.

If any of you exhibit
any kind of guilt,

you will be dealt
with accordingly.

This one's nice.

I think I'd like to
strip search him.

Hey I got an idea,

why don't we all head down
to the interrogation room?

Shall we?

Off you go.

File out!

Just take the compliment.

This is awesome.

The little girls were
last seen trick or treating

just before sundown.

We think that someone
coaxed them off that path

and we think that
someone's in this room.

Huh?

You could save us all a
lot of time and trouble

if you'd just confess.

Confess, it was you.

You think this is a joke?

Believe me, by the
end of this night,

one of you is gonna
be begging to confess.

All right, all right,
we'll do it the hard way.

Good luck, chickies.

The only way out is
to escape the room.

You've got one hour.

I got something.

It's dated 10/31/95.

It says, "Witness reports
seeing two young girls

"roughly eight years of age

"walking west of Shasta
Drive at 5:45 p.m."

It says, "Saw the girls
get into a white truck

"and drive off with someone
that they "seemed to know"."

8545, 8545, 8545, 8545.

You okay, Rainman?

The numbers, everything's
got to be a clue, right?

So I'm just keeping track.

Look who showed up today.

I like that.

Okay, this is the end of it,

"The truck was registered
to an Aaron Thacker."

Says, "He came in
for questioning,

"we recorded his
statement and released him

"as his story checked out."

Tape recording.

All right, let's
divide and conquer.

I got the safe.

Oh, try 8545.

Guys, this desk, it's locked.

It was totally normal.

I know Megan and Ellen.

Sometimes my mom
makes me watch them

when she and Mrs.
Mayer drink wine.

Ellen was crying because
she lost her necklace,

this little silver E.

She was really upset.

I just gave them a ride
back to the neighborhood.

They got into my car

and headed back to their house

and haven't seen them since.

It was weird,

I don't remember seeing
them go into their house.

My mom came out of the house

to tell me to bring the cans in.

She distracted me only for
a second, not that long.

Like not long
enough for the girls

to have crossed the street even.

When I turned back,
they were gone.

I did find Ellen's
necklace though,

maybe it fell off her costume
in my car, I don't know,

but you can have it if you want.

Yo, found-o le-necklace-o.

Bring it over here.

There's a carving under
this drawer, it's an E.

There's nothing in this book,

just normal kids stuff,

colored pages,
mostly in the lines.

What are you, some art critic?

Oh, got it.

Making moves.

Shouldn't we be
looking for fluids?

Knock that off.

Whoopsy daisy.

Woo.

There we go.

There we go.

Check it out.

Anybody hear me?

Hello?

- Help me.
- Shut up, dad, dad!

Francis, come on, just,
daddy's having a little fun.

This is cute
and all but yeah...

What would you do without me?

Look.

Yep, there it is, X1
fire extinguisher.

It's too ash tray.

This does look
oddly out of place.

There's grooves in the top.

Ty, hand me that chair.

Hand me the ash tray.

Dum dadumdum.

Just open the damn door.

Okay, whatever
makes you happy chief.

Looks like we got a new
situation on our hand out here.

No fucking way.

Let me see that.

Thank you, sir.

Holy shit.

- Dad?
- Babe?

It's not over yet.

- Dad?
- What?

Whoa?

Bitch, this door is locked.

Keith, just use the key.

I took it.

I'm so sorry, I took
it as a souvenir.

Open it up!

Guys, we are wasting time.

Maintenance will take
care of these guys,

we need to just get moving.

Help us, help us!

Are you guys okay?

It doesn't fit.

The key won't work on this side.

This is fucking impossible.

Guys, do you not get it?

It's part of it.

It's part of it.

What?

Yes, obviously if there's
something really wrong,

they'd shut the room down.

That's a valid point.

You seem to know an awful lot

about what's going on.

It's because I've
seen this before.

They use a couple moles

to throw you off the
trail and waste time

and that's what we're
doing, we're wasting time.

And this place just
does not quit, let's go.

Nancy
Drew's in her element.

This is my nightmare, Tyler.

It's campy.

Hey, what's your play, huh?

What are you talking about?

Found it.

Oh my God.

Are y'all seeing this shit?

Oh my God, this is amazing.

Um, uh, mhmm.

Okay man, you're the
escape room expert,

get me out of here.

Right.

Well
I found something.

Okay.

"Means, motive
and opportunity.

"My client, though presented
with the opportunity

"had neither the
means nor the motive

"to have perpetrated the
murder of this little girl."

They found the little girl.

Wait, I thought it
was two little girls.

Good point.

Is that a clue?

It's got to be a clue, right?

Well there's more.

"Based on the
injuries sustained,

"our client was in fact a
victim of the same crime.

"I present Exhibit A."

Aha, Exhibit A.

"Defensive wounds,
bruises five inch diameter."

That's a big bruise.

"The prosecution suggests

"the bruising on
the client's arms

"were defensive wounds
inflicted by her victim.

"My client's baby
sister clinging to her

"pleading for her life.

"What child has palms that big?"

Jesus Christ, the
little girl did it?

No, weren't you listening?

They were saying the defendant
was wrongfully accused.

Oh.

But what's the clue?

What do we do with
this information?

Guilty!

I fucking hate this place.

Ang, you all right?

Something just touched me.

Exhibit B.

Oh hey, I think
Exhibit B is the VHS player.

There's a tape player here.

Is there a tape?

Fuck, Chris.

This is part of it.

It's gotta be part of it.

This guy's got no pulse.

What?

Ang, Angela?

Brittany, Brittany!

I feel like I'm
losing my mind, Tyler.

Brittany!

This shit is crazy.

There are no monsters here.

Monsters are not real, remember?

Your screaming won't help
you find Angela and Brittany.

The doors have been opened.

That's enough of a clue.

Don't be so stupid.

You know what to do.

Where you going?

I'm getting out of here.

I see what's going on.

What are you talking about?

It's a little too
familiar, Tyler.

Matt,
you're scaring me.

Oh I'm scaring you?

What are you doing?

Surviving.

We love your fighting
spirit, Matthew Blake,

but I'm sure soon,

you'll find that you're
powerless in this game.

Relax, your lives are
in very capable hands.

Angela?

Sorry about that.

But don't worry, your
time's almost up, Matthew.

I think you know how this
story ends, do you not?

Perhaps the way out

is also the way in.

Are you ready to
pay for your sins?

This is real?

Surprise.

You did this?

Don't be stupid, I just
accused you of doing this.

Where's Ang...

You got me.

You got me.

I give up.

Matthew Blake gives up.

Fuck!

Who are you, huh?

Who are you?

How do I know you, huh?

Are you a sad dad?

Hi Alice.

Did you miss me, sweetie?

Ooh, stinks in here.

Did you do a wee wee?

Help, help, help, help!

Help, somebody!

Hey, you want me
to put this back on?

'Cause I really didn't
want to do that today.

I was hoping to get
some nice kisses, no?

Please, my family has money.

They'll pay you.

They can pay you.

No one will ever know.

Hey, well I don't
want money or need it.

But I tell you what

if you give me one
last little soft kiss,

then I'll kill you quickly.

What?

Why are you doing this?

Fuck you.

Suit yourself.

Do you miss your precious
little whore daughter?

'Cause that's what she was.

I can assure you that.

Or maybe you're a
jealous husband.

Please no.

Please stop it.

Please, please no.

No, what do you want from me?

I'll do anything, please.

Ah, ah, ah,
,

she just wants to go home.

Please, what do you want?

Please?

Well maybe you shouldn't
cheat on your husband

with random guys.

I won't and I'm sorry.

I won't again, I swear I won't.

You won't?

You won't?

No, I won't.

You promise?

And let me guess, you won't
say anything about me, right?

No, I swear, I
swear to God I won't.

I swear, please,
please, I swear.

Hey, hey, you know
I'm just kidding right?

No, no, no, no,
no, no, I won't say,

I won't say anything.

Please, I won't,
I won't, I swear.

Please, I swear.

I won't tell anybody,
I swear, please.

Hey, hey, hey, hey,
hey, I'm just kidding.

I'm just kidding.

Okay please.

Please I swear.

I'm just kidding.

This was gonna
happen either way.

No, no, no, no, no, please!

In which case you
should be thanking me

for saving you from a lifetime
of bitching and nagging

and pissing and moaning.

Fucking answer me!

You thought you
could fuck with me.

You thought you
could fuck with me.

Oh my God.

I took care of it.

Still don't believe me?

Brittany, I never
should've doubted you.

Fuck.

You've done it again.

Too bad the only survivor

is also your only friend

in sickness and health,
till death do you part.

What oath has lasted longer,
the tongue or the heart?

There can be no secrets
if somebody knows.

It's your choice now
who lives and who goes.

Till death due us part.

Angela, she may still be alive.

No.

What?

She's dead.

You heard the man,

it's my choice now who
lives and who dies.

Matt, think about
what you're saying.

Oh I'm thinking.

I'm thinking that there's no
need for you to keep my secrets

if you're dead.

We're brothers, you and me.

We can fight our
way out of here.

It's a team, we
make a good team.

Please, we're brothers.

I paid for your
silence for years.

What, that wasn't enough?

I never said a word.

And I never will.

Then how'd it
get to this point?

I know I never talked.

So go ahead, Ty, lie to my face.

Tell me one more time that
you never told a soul.

Never.

Right.

So you got greedy, huh?

What'd you do look up
some grieving father,

some pissed off husband?

They give you more
money to bring me down

or did you finally
grow a pair of balls?

I'm not like that.

I'm not a monster.

Oh come on, Tyler.

I just have to know.

You seemed content
for the last 17 years

me taking care of you.

What changed that?

I never said a word.

I'm your brother,
thicker than blood.

Oh Tyler, it suited you.

You made that choice.

You're right, I
did make that choice

to not say shit.

Maybe if I had, we
wouldn't be here.

Maybe it's not your choice.

There can be no
secrets if someone knows.

Matthew.

How?

Tyler.

They came in and injected him.

I was just waiting for
them to come back for him

and get me.

How terrible.

Yeah, we're
gonna get out of here.

Aren't you tired, Mattie?

What are
you talking about?

Brittany, you're scaring me.

Matthew, I'm scaring you?

What are you talking about?

I can't believe you
don't remember me.

I could never forget you.

What's happening?

Aren't you tired, Matthew?

Stop!

What are you talking about?

Well I'm tired.

I'm tired of pretending.

Stop!

Stop talking in riddles!

I'm worried about you, babe.

Honestly, I can't believe
you don't recognize me.

At the beginning,

I thought for sure you'd
be able to place my face.

That was naive.

I watched you from
afar for a long time.

I studied you,

analyzed you.

At first, I thought
maybe you'd changed,

maybe you were just
a troubled child,

maybe you had problems at home.

I didn't know then.

I was just a kid then

I told everyone what I saw

and I waited for you
to come kill my family.

But you didn't need to
make good on that threat.

Mommy.

No.

No.

We have to take her
away ma'am, I'm sorry.

What?

What?

She did do this.

Mommy, daddy, the monster
did it, the monster did it.

Mommy, daddy, the
monster did it.

Please, the monster did it.

Please, the monster did it.

Why aren't you listening to me?

No one ever believed me.

Bet you feel crazy huh,
'cause no one believes you?

And I still lost them.

Why won't they believe me?

Do you remember me now?

Emily.

I have to admit

I was a bit peeved at first

at how oblivious you were.

As I stayed near,

I kept replaying
our last encounter

over and over in my head.

Ah, it's here.

Please help, the monster's back.

Please help, it's here,
the monster is back.

I'm not just some
guy who stops by once.

I was elated to hear
your conviction.

I had to come pay my respects.

You understand?

Entirely.

So how did you
pull all this off?

Well...

No one believed me

when I told them a monster
had murdered my sister.

They thought I heard voices,

that the voices made me do it.

You know, silver lining,

I made a lot of
friends in there.

It's funny how excited
a bunch of lunatics get

when you pitch them
a revenge plot.

My God.

Mom, why won't
anyone believe me?

Stop it wasn't me, stop!

Stop!

Stop, it wasn't me, stop!

Why won't anyone believe me?

Stop!

Please, stop, let me go!

Stop, let me go, please.

Please, let me go!

Please stop!

Please, help me, let me out!

There are
no monsters here.

Monsters are not real.

And if they were,

we can beat them.

Emily, Emily, Emily no.

Emily no, I'll see
you soon, I love you.

Tell me when you're ready.

Emily, I'll
see you soon, I love you.

Hey crazy, here's all the
info on your blind date,

DMV records, pictures,
fingerprints,

everything you asked for.

Merry fucking Christmas.

When I got out,

the first thing I
did was look you up.

I had you followed.

You looked different after
all the surgeries you had.

You were just as cute
as you were that day.

The day on the
skateboard, you remember.

Oh I saw the fun you
had over the years,

all those missing girls.

Yep, all there.

If you want my opinion,

one psycho to another,

you're letting your
pride make you sloppy.

I was only watching
you for a week

before I noticed your
tendencies had progressed.

So why not just call the cops?

Matthew, you and I both know

police are ineffective at best.

So what's your
end game, Emily?

Emily's dead.

You're not even mad, are you?

Mad?

I'm inspired.

When I first met you,

I thought you'd be
the perfect victim,

no family, no records,

hell I thought
you were a runaway

with no one to come
looking for you.

Then why not kill me?

Simply, it's nice to
have a built-in alibi.

I couldn't have dreamed up a
more perfect woman than you.

I created you.

I love you.

Thanks but I
already met someone.

Hey buddy.

You?

I want you to meet my
new girlfriend, Brittany.

She got in touch with
me about four years ago.

After I realized how
close you two had remained

I found it fitting
to get in touch.

Now that's the cute
version of the story.

We had a little chat and
we quickly bonded over you.

Thanks for that, buddy.

Brittany really is a great girl.

This punk bitch?

What's the matter, bro?

I thought you liked
sharing my women.

On the ground!

On the ground!

I will drop you!

He killed our friend.

I'm sorry.

He's crazy, he
killed our friend.

They were our first
non-test group into the rooms.

Everything seemed to
be going very well.

In character, I
greeted our guests,

presented them with
the first clue,

then locked them
in the first room.

Matthew seemed very
cool, almost too cool.

After about 20 minutes
into the tour, he snapped.

Yeah, it was super weird,

like at first he seemed cool,

and then he went totally agro.

Yeah, he was screaming and
yelling at his girlfriend,

hands all over
his buddy's woman,

so then I stepped
in and I told him,

you know knock it off.

He lost it,

pulled a knife out,
grabbed me by the hair

and then he started saying he
wasn't gonna let anyone out

unless his girlfriend
and his best friend

admit they were screwing.

Then I tackled him from behind

and I told him no one
touches my daughter

unless it's me, you know?

What?

I kicked the knife away

and then I snuck out
the fire emergency exit.

I fought Matthew off,

I followed my daughter

and then after that
it was all a blur.

I just don't remember.

Just adrenaline
flowing, you know,

being a single dad and all,

I'm just not meant
to be the hero.

So you seeing anybody?

Did he say
anything else to you?

He just kept
giving a play by play

of all the women I guess
he's killed over the years,

dating back to the '90s.

Yeah, like Ted Bundy.

He was very handsome,
hot, hot with the ladies.

Daddy.

Yeah, what, what'd I say?

Ted Bundy was real life.

Okay.

I've never been so
scared in my entire life.

I love escape rooms,

I mean this is the best but...

Did Matthew try to harm you

or did he provide any motive

for his break with reality?

I mean that dude obviously
has a problem with women.

He was calling
all of them whores

and saying that women have
wronged him his whole life.

Then he grabbed that
poor girl by the throat

and stuck a knife.

I mean I froze 'cause
in escape rooms,

you don't know what's
reality or what's part of it,

if it's part of the thing.

When did you know it was real?

When Keith and Joe left,

he strangled her.

I mean he hit his girlfriend
over the head with a pipe

and he strangled her
in front of her husband

saying something
about an affair.

So I went and hid in the room

and I guess he forgot
about me or something.

That's when responders came in.

I'm lucky that I'm not dead.

I'm lucky that I was not hurt.

Fuck off!

Hey, fucking bitch!

I'll fucking kill you!

I loved him.

I'll fucking kill you!

Fuck off me, you know
who the fuck I am?

God damn it.

Fuck!

I bet you feel crazy huh,

'cause no one believes you?

Never forget Emily

that you can do
anything you want.

I'll fucking kill you.

If you put your mind to it.

If you believe in monsters,

you have to believe
that you can beat them.

Some people say that
an eye for an eye

leaves the world blind.

I say it's a hell of a
lot better to get even.

Leaving people in the dust,

the monsters that
try to take you down,

is no way to live.

Getting even is
the best revenge.
