_
Fuck!
Seriously?
Okay.
_
Oh, yeah.
_
Oh.
Uh, wait, wait, can you
hold that, please?
Thanks. Sorry. Thank you very much.
I... wasn't paying attention.
Oh, nice, P5,
I'm all the way down in the dungeon.
That sucks.
Yeah.
Lookin' forward to the long weekend?
Valentine's Day and Presidents' Day?
How often do you get that?
It's like the perfect storm, right?
Oh.
You shouldn't have.
Oh, well, you know,
couldn't help myself.
At least you brought the bottle of wine.
Oh, yeah, closed the deal for a client.
Classy client.
Eh, fairly classy client.
Check out this guy.
Somebody's got issues.
Yeah.
With their artistic abilities.
What the heck was that?
Did we just stop?
You gotta be kidding me.
Let me see.
We can hit the call button.
Hello? "Flashes when call answered."
It's not flashing.
Hello!
- Hello?
- What about the alarm?
You wanna hit the alarm?
I mean, that's what it's
there for, isn't it?
Yeah, I...
Okay, I'm just gonna hit it.
Nada.
That supposed to, like,
buzz or something?
I don't know.
They're not doing anything.
Hello?
Hello, we're stuck in the elevator.
Oh, God.
I mean, I don't know, looks
like something is, uh...
Must be something
electrical or something.
How's that even possible?
The lights are still on
and so's the TV screen.
Yeah.
I think we're pretty close to the, uh...
Yup, that's not gonna work.
So much for my superhuman strength.
Oh, look, there's a camera.
Hello!
Hello!
We're in here!
Hello!
I mean, I would assume
HAL 9000 is up there
seeing this, right?
Hey, what service do you have?
What?
Do you have a signal?
I got nothing.
But mine rarely works
in elevators, you know,
or any major metropolitan area actually.
I've got zero bars.
Well, we are four stories
underground, so...
I mean, maybe we just
wait a minute or two
and I'm sure someone's working on it.
God, I hope so.
I mean, isn't there
security here at night?
I'd rather not be stuck
here till Tuesday morning.
Come on, hello! Gotta go!
You okay?
No, I got a flight to catch.
Oh, man, I'm so sorry.
You're not, like, claustrophobic
or anything like that?
Are you claustrophobic?
I'm not not claustrophobic.
What floor do you work on?
Uh, 49th.
Color and Stanwich.
Oh.
What do you do at Color?
I'm an account supervisor.
It's a public relations...
No, I know, it's... Color's huge,
you guys have like three floors, right?
Yeah uh, five actually.
Oh.
Finnegan Hartman.
That's where I work.
It's an accounting firm.
It's not the sexiest...
Not the...
But I'm new there, so...
you know.
Has anything like this
ever happened before?
- In the elevators?
- I mean, it makes some
gnarly noises sometimes but...
it usually always goes up and down.
Well...
Well.
Shit.
Shit.
Okay, this'll be louder for sure.
Help!
No, I can do better, it's
just hard to get the P out
because then you're kinda...
you're not getting the
same volume on it.
Help!
- Oh, you're gonna try it?
- He...
Help!
We can't possibly be the last people
in the building, right?
Oh, hang on.
What... uh.
Oh, okay, hang on a second.
Can you hold that?
Okay.
You know what, I have an idea.
Oh, bet I can guess what it is.
Yup.
I think that we've known
each other long enough.
There's always an exit
in the ceiling, right?
Yup.
- Ready?
- Yeah.
Okay.
- Ready?
- Yup.
Oh, you're going all the way.
- Yup, ready?
- Okay.
- Wait, ready?
- No, I got it, I got it.
- You're good.
- Sorry.
- Got it. Ready?
- Yeah.
- Whoa.
- Okay.
Yup.
I knew I should have
been a male cheerleader.
Well, it's never too late
to chase your dreams.
Anything?
How is there no escape hatch?
Yeah, I mean, what are
people supposed to do
when there's an actual emergency, right?
Is this not an emergency?
Okay.
- Ow!
- What, you okay?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- You okay?
Yeah, can you just put me down, please?
Yes, I'm sorry.
Are you okay?
- Yeah, I just...
- Let me see.
Honestly, it's fine, I just...
I bruised my ego more than anything.
Okay.
Oh, my God.
My flight.
How long has it been?
Fifteen minutes.
Okay, it feels like an hour.
Now it's been an hour.
Yeah, I'm never gonna make it.
I'm so sorry.
- I feel like crying.
- Oh, no. Please don't cry.
- Why?
- I don't have any Kleenex.
Sorry, I'm just trying to
lighten a shitty situation.
It's fucking bullshit
is what it fucking is.
- Amen.
- Fucking motherfucker.
Fucking piece of shit.
You fucking dick-sucking piece of shit!
You fucking mouth-breathing assholes,
where are they?
I agree.
I'm Jennifer, by the way.
I don't...
What?
You would have thought
that we would have already
exchanged names by now. But... Guymon.
Guy.
Nice to meet you, Guy.
It's really nice to meet you, Jennifer.
I'm sorry it isn't under
different circumstances.
Actually, literally any
other possible circumstance
in the history of humankind
would have been better.
Really?
I mean, I'm having such a great time.
You come here often?
You know, Guy, I don't know
- if I can let you ask me that right now.
- No, I'm not...
I mean, it's usually
backed up with, like,
"Hey, can I buy you a drink?"
and honestly, my thermos is empty
and I'm dying of thirst, so.
Well...
say no more.
- Oh, no, I'm...
- I don't have cooties.
I didn't mean that. I'm not
gonna take your water.
I insist.
It's either this or I pop open the wine.
Is it screw top?
No.
But...
It just so happens, believe
it or not... hang on.
You wait, you're gonna laugh.
Hup.
Oh, my God.
I mean, hey, you never know, right?
Yeah, truly.
I mean, I don't know what
it says about us, but...
Well, it says that we're good scouts.
We're always prepared.
Jennifer, please.
Just a sip.
Keep it.
Have however much you want
whenever you want it.
- Oh, my God, thank you.
- Is it good?
So good.
Now if you had like a double
cheeseburger in the bag.
You know, I usually keep one
stuffed down my pants
but... as a consolation prize,
why don't you have some Kisses?
Oh, I'm sorry, that's just very forward,
but I do accept.
Just do me a favor and keep
the wine away from me.
I mean, I am a girl who's
packing her own corkscrew.
Plus I think we should
definitely save our rations.
I mean...
who knows how long we're
gonna be stuck in here.
No, I would say worst case scenario...
Worst case scenario, we're stuck here
80 hours until Tuesday.
Yeah, trust me I've done the math.
Have you ever considered a career
as an accountant?
'Cause Finnegan Hartman might be
- just the institution for you.
- Please, don't make me laugh.
It's gonna make me wanna pee.
It's okay, I promise, I don't mind.
No.
So embarrassing.
Jennifer.
- Look at me.
- Mm-mm.
It's just something that you have to do
that's completely out of your control.
We've been here for four hours,
so pretty soon it's gonna be
something I have to do too.
Oh, God.
You know, I'm sure you're
one of those people
that are super comfortable
walking around naked
or whatever, but...
I'm an extremely private person.
Okay, I just...
Oh, God, I need my space.
I completely understand
and that is why I'm telling you,
take your space over there
and go mark your territory.
Where? Where?
Go over there in the
corner, I'll go over here,
turn my back,
and you can just go on my coat.
What?
What, it's an old coat,
I don't care. Honestly.
I'll get it cleaned or incinerated.
I'm not gonna pee on your coat.
Okay.
Well then...
why don't you go in your empty thermos?
Close your eyes.
Cover your ears.
You going?
- Great, I can't now.
- What?
I can't now.
Just think about Niagara Falls
or someone else peeing.
♪ La la la ♪
Can't hear anything.
Well, that just happened.
Yup.
Yup, it did.
That was embarrassing.
No, no.
Remember, we're all in this together.
Everyone in here.
Well, it's official.
I've missed my flight.
Well, there's always
next Valentine's Day.
You know, Guy, I really
appreciate your efforts.
Mm-hm.
Even though your jokes are really bad.
Well, you can blame my dad for that.
I guess I'm just trying to...
keep us from going completely insane.
I think you're too late on that one.
That'll do it.
Hm.
I'm not gonna lie...
I wasn't sure at first.
Here.
But... you are a very good
stuck-in-the-elevator buddy.
Thank you.
Do you have any other buddies?
Like are you married?
Boyfriend? Girlfriend?
Anyone who'd come and save us?
No, actually, none of the above.
I am in a kind of all-encompassing
dysfunctional relationship with my job
which is not good news for us
because nobody knows
that I even worked late tonight
or that I would still be
here for any reason at all.
And saying that...
saying that out loud is...
kind of very, very
depressing and pathetic.
You?
Same.
Well...
what about this, like,
super important flight
that you had to catch? I mean,
there must have been...
What, that I had someone
just waiting for me?
Someone who would know I'd be missing?
No.
It's kind of a spur of the moment thing.
It's complicated, it's a long story.
Well, if you wanna talk about it,
or anything at all for that matter,
I'm not going anywhere.
There's really nothing to talk about.
I mean, it's stupid.
I was just gonna go surprise someone.
Someone who...
didn't even know I was coming.
Probably didn't even want me to come.
Quite the pair we are, huh?
Hm.
Wait, I thought...
You're gonna open your bottle of wine?
Well... I figured it's about that time.
You sure?
Well, it's already done now.
I was probably just gonna
re-gift this anyway, so.
Besides, we're done feeling
sorry for ourselves.
All right.
Ladies first.
It's not bad.
I mean, it's not good but it's not bad.
Hm, like I said, fairly classy client.
So what are we celebrating?
How about not being dead yet?
I'll drink to that.
No peeking.
What is that?
Hello?
Hello!
I hope that wasn't a bad thing.
What time is it?
You really wanna know?
No, but yes.
Just what time is it?
It's 1:00 a. m. Saturday.
The weekend's begun.
Let's party!
Hey, we're gonna get out
of here, don't worry.
We'll be fine.
I know.
- So.
- So.
Can I tell you something?
Yeah.
Um...
I wasn't completely honest
with you about something
and it's been bugging me
so I really wanna be straight with you.
Okay.
When I implied earlier that
I'd never seen you before
around the building,
um, that wasn't completely true.
Given the circumstances
that we were in...
that we are in...
I just didn't wanna say anything
that might have made you
feel even more uncomfortable
than, you know, you already were
with the situation or with me.
At the time, I thought
that if I told you
that I did recognize
you from the building,
I didn't want you to think
I was some kind of, like,
stalker or something.
Okay, so when you say you've seen me...
Yeah?
To what extent do you mean?
I just... I've seen you a
couple times in the halls
and just in the lobby mostly.
I don't think you're a stalker, Guy.
Yeah.
Well, right.
However, to be even more honest...
um...
when I've seen you,
I've noticed you.
I just remember thinking to myself,
"Hey, you know, she seems
like a pretty upbeat person
and she... perhaps she's
even really nice."
"And...
she's very pretty.
She's definitely someone
I'd like to know."
Well...
now you do.
And...
I can...
confirm that you are indeed
a very nice person.
Thank you.
And you're also very pretty.
Okay, ready?
No.
Okay.
- Ready?
- Okay.
You go.
- Together.
- Okay.
- One...
- Two...
Three.
- Oh, shit.
- Wow.
Oh, man, I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
- No, I love that.
- This is so good.
- You have captured...
- Thank you.
... a side of me that literally
no one has ever seen.
You know what?
Oh, you're just gonna make a phone call.
No.
If we survive this...
I'm gonna make this my profile picture.
Oh.
Wow, I'm honored.
It's kind of amazing to see
how people really see you.
Yeah, you're telling me.
Come on, that is not accurate at all.
I'm like barely functioning right now
from how hungry I am.
Oh, me too.
All I can think about is, like,
a big juicy kale salad.
A kale salad?
Like, I'm thinking about
a fat stack of pancakes.
Like, smothered in syrup and...
Deep dish meat pizza.
- Oh, God.
- Taco truck burrito...
Okay, stop, stop, stop,
stop. No more food.
Come on, this is already
painful enough as it is.
Yeah, we'll talk about something that is
definitely much less desirable.
What do you wanna talk about?
Whatever you wanna talk about.
Um... football.
No!
Baseball? Cars?
Sex?
Robots?
- All right, let's talk about sex.
- No.
- You called it.
- I was joking.
All right, you wanna talk about sex?
Let's make it interesting.
Okay, now look into the camera.
No.
And I want you to tell
me the dirtiest place
that you've had sex in.
Um, okay.
Oh, my God, do you want me to go first?
Sure.
All right. Here, record me.
Okay.
Got it.
Okay.
Um...
The library.
What?
It was college.
I mean, so my boyfriend and I...
my boyfriend at the time...
had a brilliant idea
that we'd each go get...
you know those cheesy romance novels?
Yeah.
So we'd get one of those
and read out, like,
the raunchiest section to each other.
And... it started off as a joke,
but I don't know, it
ended up turning me on.
I don't... I guess I never read
trashy novels before, so.
Even ones that include lines like,
- "Purple-headed warrior" and...
- Exactly!
Like, "Her heaving,
sweat-glistened breasts."
Okay, stop.
You're way too good at this.
All right.
- Go, your turn.
- Uh...
Okay, I don't know how I'm gonna top,
you know, your college boyfriend
giving you the old Dewey Decimal System.
Come on!
Um...
Unfortunately, I hate to say that
I really don't have a...
a story that is comparable to that.
- I don't believe you.
- It's the truth.
Why would I lie about that?
I should be standing here making up
the raunchiest, most fucking amazing...
All right, so then do that.
Make up the most bullshit sex tale
that you can come up with
of your unstoried sex life.
- Okay, you really want me to?
- Mm-hm.
Okay, well, where am I?
So I'm working on a new project
and, uh, there's this girl
who's involved in the project
and she's fucking gorgeous,
ten out of ten,
Amazon goddess walking the face...
I'm obsessed with her. Everybody...
she's the hottest fucking person at work
and I'm like drooling over her.
And, um... but I don't
do anything about it
until this big work picnic.
She just looks banging
and we start drinking,
everybody's drinking, and
suddenly, she approaches me
and we have some drinks
and then we kinda sneak back to my car
and we're partying some more.
And we're driving now
and she's... she's like,
"Your stick shift... "
No, wait, that's so obvious.
Hang on a second, hang on a second.
She's like, she's like
"Why do they call them glove boxes?"
She talks like that.
And I go, "I don't know,
if you had some gloves,
we'd put 'em on in there, I guess."
And then she looks at me and she goes,
"Well, I don't have any gloves."
And then she slowly slides off
the most incredibly sexy
pair of underwear...
And, uh...
She just like, she puts 'em
in the glove box and...
This is so stupid, I feel so weird
and uncomfortable, it's not...
Wait, what? You can not stop there.
Oh, my God, you're blushing.
Um...
Well, that's not the only thing
that is starting to do
something involuntary
right now.
Hm, all right. That's pretty personal.
Well, that's...
what you wanted, right?
In the spirit of being intensely honest,
that's... I mean, that's
what we're doing now, right?
- That is correct.
- Okay.
What?
Nothing, you're just, you know.
What you're saying is is that...
you're telling me that
you're aroused right now.
Yes.
Oh, fuck, I'm so...
So, I crossed a line, right?
I'm so sorry. It's...
I... Oh, my God, I'm so sorry.
Wasn't what I was thinking.
I just... you know,
you were being honest
and I was just thinking...
that's cool.
It's cool?
Um...
You know...
another true statement.
I'd really like to kiss you.
That's probably not a good idea.
Right?
Okay.
Okay.
Stop.
Okay.
Okay.
Oh, God.
Fuck.
You are amazing.
I could fall in love with you.
Are you all right?
Yeah.
Okay.
I need to know what you're thinking
because, personally,
I'm having... a lot of thoughts
and feelings and, uh...
I'd really like to hear yours first.
Okay.
I was thinking that
yesterday was gonna be the day
that I fixed everything.
I was gonna fly to New
York for the weekend,
I was gonna surprise my ex-fiancé
for Valentine's Day,
and get back together.
You know, forgive and forget everything
and... patch things up.
Make everything okay.
And now?
Now I'm still gonna do that.
I mean, don't get me wrong,
what happened here was...
it was fun and considering
the circumstances...
it was surprisingly nice.
But I love him.
And what he and I have,
it's real.
And this...
This... this is real. I mean...
I'm real, you know?
This is... real.
What I'm trying to say
is that this, this was casual.
You know? I mean, come on.
We've only known each other for one day.
Look, Guy, I'm just trying
to be honest with you.
Which is... it's great.
It's actually freeing.
You know, it's actually what
every committed relationship
should be like.
Just complete transparency.
Is that what you had with your ex?
I mean, complete honesty?
No.
That was exactly the problem.
So then why are you going back with him?
I mean, if it was really
that bad. Like...
with what just happened.
With us.
We have history.
And this is... this is
some weird fantasy.
Jen...
we connected.
You know...
he doesn't deserve you.
He didn't even want you there, right?
Whoa, whoa, Guy, first of all,
you don't know him, okay?
- And you don't even know me.
- Yeah.
Look, I'm not trying to be rude,
but we're not a thing.
Yeah. Uh...
You're right, and...
when we get outta here,
I'm gonna take you out...
When we get outta here, okay,
you're gonna go back to your life
and I'm gonna go back to mine.
And just act like none
of this ever happened?
Obviously it happened.
Come on, I mean, we can't erase that.
And that's fine, really, all right,
but it's not gonna change
the way that I feel now
and it's definitely not gonna
change anything later.
Look...
why don't we think about it like this?
All right, now you have
this crazy sex tale
- that you can share.
- Okay, but like...
Don't you believe that
this somehow, like,
that all this was some sort of like...
fate?
Wow.
It's so funny, it's like...
Like we're locked in
this tiny little box
but we're still a million miles apart.
Guy, come on.
No.
It's fine.
Doesn't even matter.
We'll be fine.
Because we're honest with each other.
And that's the most
important thing, right?
In every committed relationship?
You know, it's just...
there's just something about you
that makes me want to
be so honest with you.
I want to tell you everything.
I want to tell you things like...
I'm not new to the building.
I'm not an accountant.
My name isn't Guy.
What are you talking about?
And...
I certainly have noticed you,
Jennifer Robbins.
I didn't tell you my last name.
But not just a couple of times.
Try dozens of times.
Hundreds of times.
Like...
every single work day, in fact.
Let me see. Hm.
Huh.
Arriving at 9:00 a.m.
Always the last one to leave. Hm.
7:00, sometimes 8:00.
This.
You know, like tonight.
Right before you got into this elevator.
And how do I know all that?
Because...
building security guard sees everyone.
Notices everyone, watches everyone,
knows all their comings and goings
every fucking day,
but nobody ever fucking sees us
because we're fucking,
fucking, fucking, fucking,
fucking, fucking invisible!
You're a security guard?
Mm-hm. Front desk.
Busiest place in the building.
Loneliest job on the planet.
But I know I wasn't alone in here.
I know I was looking into the eyes
of another human being. Right?
I know I was sharing an
experience with you.
I was there.
Inside of you.
We were holding each other.
Right?
I'm not making that up.
I know you, Jennifer.
More than fucking Derek knows you.
But that's not enough for you, clearly.
This wasn't enough for you, right?
Everything that I planned
this weekend, for you!
For you, Jennifer.
For us. Everything that happened.
But... but...
if you wanna go,
you can go.
Ugh... Oh, my God.
You've had a key.
Am I insane?
You had me locked in an elevator?
Mm, yeah, I'm fucked up, yeah.
I'm a fuckin' asshole, right?
Oh, my God, we fucking had sex.
Who the fuck do you think you are?
I'm gonna fucking call the cops on you.
You're gonna go to fucking jail.
You're going to fucking jail
for this, do you hear me?
You're gonna rot in fucking jail!
I can't have that.
No!
No, don't... don't...
Stop... stop...
No... fuck...
Fuck... no!
You broke it?
No, no, no.
Fuck!
Fuck you, you fuckin' piece of shit!
I'll fucking kill you!
Oh, hi, welcome back.
Safe to say,
you didn't like my little icebreaker.
- Why?
- Hm?
Why?
I mean, come on, Jen.
What better way to meet a girl
than to set up a situation
where she has time to get to know you?
Away from distractions
and text messages,
to connect with another human being.
And now, here we are.
And not only have I achieved that,
we practically had an
entire relationship.
We... we met, we talked,
we got to know each other, we fucked.
We fought, we broke up.
All in a weekend, all in a room.
You're not gonna get away with this.
- Someone's coming.
- No, no, no... no.
No one's coming, Jen.
What about the other security guards?
- There has to be several.
- Well, since you asked,
there were three of us scheduled
for this holiday weekend,
so first I told Phillip that
I would take his shift,
and then I told Eddie the same thing,
and Eddie's got a hot new girlfriend,
so, naturally, he jumped at the chance,
so, no, Jen, no one is
coming until Tuesday.
What are you gonna do?
You're stuck in here with me too.
Yeah, that's right. You
really fucked it up
for both of us, didn't you?
So I've gotta figure out
what to do with you.
Because I'll tell you right now,
I'd rather kill you
than go back to prison.
Fucking monster.
- You're a fucking monster.
- No.
No, I'm not.
See, I never forced you to do anything.
Anything you didn't want to do.
All I did was encourage the situation.
Encourage the situation?
You fucking kidnapped me!
No!
I did not kidnap you!
You liked me!
We connected, you bitch!
But then, you fucked it up!
I feel better.
I feel better.
Huh.
Let's open some gifts.
Mind if I take a stab at what this is?
Let's see, was that a yes? What?
Well, I'm not going with Legos.
I don't know.
Huh. Let's see.
"To Derek, love, J."
Nice and simple.
Mm, let's see.
Jenny!
You shouldn't have.
Is this a large... it's a large!
No fucking way.
I got an inkling that maybe...
you know what?
Let me see.
How's it look?
Huh?
Who knew
that me and Derek were the same build?
Well...
I guess you know now, right?
All right, your turn.
Come on, please.
Open the fucking box.
All right.
I'm just gonna help you a little bit,
you gotta do the rest yourself.
Open the fucking present, Jen,
open it!
It's the day of fuckin' love.
Come on, go ahead.
What is inside?
Stogies!
Wow.
What's this?
I've always wanted to
try one of these guys.
And a really cool lighter.
How 'bout that?
Stop acting like I would
fucking hurt you!
What is it about cigars and guys?
We just fuckin' love
them, aren't they...
they're just like,
there's like a fascination
with them, you know?
They're just like so phallic.
It's like...
It's like you're sucking on
a big, smoking dick, right?
You have any, um, raunchy sex stories?
With cigars? I bet you do, right?
No!
Put it in your mouth.
You look so fuckin' sad!
Jen, it's really a shame,
because I do think
with all these nice gifts,
you would've gotten Derek back.
Happy fuckin' Valentine's Day, Jen.
I'm so sorry, Jen.
I lose it sometimes when I get mad
and I scare you.
And I never wanna scare you again.
You think you can give
us another chance?
You don't have to make
any decisions right now,
just... just think about it, okay?
Look at these two.
They're holding hands
in the sunset.
Just pointing and smiling
in their bathing suits.
Look so happy.
Sunny Sky Resort.
So beautiful.
I wanna take you there.
Yet here we are,
under these obnoxious
flickering fluorescents.
Except for this guy,
this guy's not workin'.
Hello?
Have to tell someone about that.
We should...
point this out to maintenance.
Woo!
Now they're working.
Now they're definitely
gonna have to replace
that light bulb.
Unless they wanna replace the whole...
There's no screws.
There's no screws
on this side.
I got a joke for you.
How many security guards does it take
to change a light bulb?
None, because we're
not fuckin' janitors.
But janitors
have to be able to change these lights.
There can't be a solid
ceiling on the other side
of this panel, right?
If I could just break
through this panel.
Hang on.
Here we go.
Oh, yes.
Oh, my God!
Jen!
Holy shit!
We're free.
Why the fuck didn't I
think of that before?
Okay.
Can you give me a boost?
I'm gonna climb up through the shaft.
When I get to the lobby,
I'll come back down and open the doors
from the outside, I'll get
you outta here, okay?
No, I think it's gonna be easier
if you boost me.
- No, no, no.
- Think about it,
I don't have enough strength
to push you up, and...
and I'll do anything that you say,
you just talk me through it.
What? No, that's a real climb. Look.
I know where everything
is already, so just...
I'm gonna get us out of here, okay?
I believe you but I'm just worried
that when you get out,
you're gonna change your mind,
you're not gonna wanna come back for me.
You'll just leave me in here
and you'll call the cops
- or something.
- We're just gonna have
to trust each other, okay?
I'm not gonna call the cops.
Who would even do that?
After everything that
we've been through?
- I just wanna get out of here.
- I really want to, and I...
and I...
I don't want you to go to jail.
You know, you're right.
It was all a misunderstanding.
I'll get us out of there, and then...
and then we can go to the resort.
You know?
Sunny Sky Resort?
Please.
Put your left leg right
here, here we go.
Okay, perfect.
Big step, up!
Come on, you got it, you
got it, you got it!
Yes, yes, perfect!
Okay, hold on tight, I'm
gonna put your foot...
Okay. Hold on tight, ready?
Now, right foot on my shoulder.
Perfect, okay.
Ready? And step up when you're ready.
Great. Good, good, good.
Okay, keep going, nice.
Perfect! Yes, yes, yes!
Okay.
There's a door up there, right?
Yep.
Okay, good, okay.
There's a ladder behind you.
Should be able to just
push that door right open.
Okay, that ladder goes all
the way up, you see it?
Go! Straight up.
We did it! We did it!
Oh, Jen, no, no, no, no, no, no, no...
No!
You bitch!
Fuck, fuck you, you fucking bitch!
You fucking bitch!
I will fucking get you, Jen!
I should've killed you!
I could have killed you!
You.
Yes. Yes!
Hey, Jen, hey!
Oh, you better run...
'cause now, you're gonna die.
Oh, shit!
You better fuckin' run!
Help!
Come on.
Come on.
What are you doing?
Get back.
Get back.
You broke my nose!
Get off, you crazy bitch!
Fuck!
What are you, gonna
fucking swim outta here?
All you're gonna do is get us soaked
or electrocuted!
Are you listening to me? Do you get it?
It's not going to work!
That should cue the fire department.
Fucking asshole.
It's not gonna be long now.
Well, what now? What's the plan?
Huh?
No, Jen.
No. No, no, no, wait.
No, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, Jen.
Jen, look at me, no, no, no.
Stop, stop, stop, stop! No, no, no. No.
No!
I've never heard a grown
man beg like that before.
Did you have something to say to me?
- Thank you.
- For what?
Thank you for not disfiguring me.
You know what we're gonna do?
You and I are gonna make a deal.
This is not gonna be one
of those times when
they finally find us,
and then I call the cops,
and it's your story against mine.
No. I want guarantees,
'cause you're gonna go to fucking jail
- for what you've done to me.
- Okay, okay, please,
just please don't do it, okay?
It's Sunday,
February 15th, and...
the only reason why I
know this is because
I saw it on my phone.
I have been trapped in a elevator
with a man who claims to be
the building security guard.
He says his name is Guy.
That's not right, is it?
No.
What is your name?
It's John.
Your full name.
John Deakins.
So Deakins here,
he's gonna tell us the truth
about exactly what happened.
I caused us to get stuck
in this elevator.
It wasn't an accident?
No, I did it on purpose.
Yes.
I used my key to stop the elevator
when you weren't looking.
Check out this guy.
Nice plan.
How did that work out for you?
Now, was I a willing
participant in any of this?
No.
Did you trap me in here?
- I didn't trap you...
- Tell the truth!
Ow! Yes, yes, yes, I trapped you.
- So you kidnapped me, right?
- Yes.
Yes, I kid... I kidnapped you.
- Sit up.
- I can't... my fuckin' back.
- Sit up.
- Okay, okay, okay.
Okay, okay, what?
- You hurt?
- Yes. Yes!
And did you hurt me?
When I was trapped in here?
Yes.
How so?
I hit your head on the ground...
- and I choked you.
- And?
And I threw you against the wall.
So you've kidnapped me.
Assault and battery.
Why?
Why do all of this?
Because I wanted to meet you, Jen.
So then why didn't you just ask me out
like a normal human being?
Because you wouldn't have
given me the time of day.
You woulda turned me down, and I wanted
a guaranteed conversation with you,
I wanted your undivided attention.
I think I deserve that,
but no, I'm just a security guard,
but guess what, no, I'm
not... I'm not, actually.
This was me.
This was my fucking life.
John Deakins, EVP at Finnegan's,
that's why you've never heard of it,
because it's not in
this fucking building.
I used to brag the guys
wanna be me at the company,
the girls wanna bed me at the company.
You remember? You remember
that sex story I told you
with the panties in the glove box?
That was true, Jen.
That... that hot co-worker of mine?
She wanted me.
John Deakins.
Number one with a fuckin' bullet.
But it's not the whole story,
the whole story is that...
maybe it was the alcohol,
maybe it was her being
freaky in the car,
but I missed that exit entirely
and I drove right clean off it,
right into a ravine.
I flipped my Audi seven times.
It would've been more if
it wasn't for that tree.
The impact just obliterated her body.
Just killed her.
I had a bump on my forehead, that was
my only injury, and then later,
thanks to my fucking amazing lawyer
and because I'm John fucking Deakins,
I only got six months in jail.
But when I got out,
because I was a convicted felon,
I couldn't buy myself a job.
My savings finally ran out, and then,
I finally bent over
and got this security gig,
not something that John Deakins 1.0
would've ever done.
After a few months of this shit,
it was fucking time. I wanted
to feel like me again,
I wanted to be him, right?
To be me again.
I worked my whole fucking life for it.
I just wanted to feel it,
just for a little while.
Why?
Just why me?
Because you light up
the entire building,
you don't even know it.
You walked into the lobby
in an orange jacket, I
fuckin' hate orange,
it's the worst fuckin'
color in the world,
but it didn't matter,
'cause it can't compete with you.
Anyways, that's why.
_
It's gonna be worth it
when you see this view.
Is this it? Are we almost there?
- So close.
- It better be.
Are you comin' or what?
Come on, baby, it's cold
and wet and I'm exhausted!
Can't we just go back to your place?
No, no, no! You're gonna love this!
Come on.
There's really no one here?
Already told you, just one
of the dudes I work with.
Nothing to worry about.
He's harmless.
Yo, Deakins!
Hey! John?
Rube, what are you doing?
I thought you said you
wanted to see the roof!
No, I told you I was done.
This is stupid.
Hang here a sec. Do not fall asleep.
Deakins, you decent, man?
Heads up, I brought in
my girlfriend, so...
Hey, this is John. Leave a
message after the beep.
Holy shit.
Um...
Hello. Can you hear me in the elevator?
Hello!
Uh...
Hello?
Can you hear me?
Is someone there?
Can you guys hear me?
- Hello?
- Hello!
Can you hear me?
Yes, I can hear you, I can see you.
- Is everyone okay?
- Yes!
- Please help me!
- Are you guys all right?
Get me out of here, please!
Okay, there's been a malfunction.
I can see that the power
went out, and, uh...
Please hurry.
Hurry up, we're in here, please!
I'm gonna come down there,
I'm gonna let you out manually.
Just hang tight.
Yes, please hurry, hurry!
Hey, Rube?
There's some people stuck
in one of the elevators.
I'm gonna go down, see
if I can get 'em out!
Hey!
- Are you in there, Deakins?
- I'm in here, please, yes!
- I'm here, okay...
- We've been in here for days!
Please, just get me outta here!
Just, uh, hold on a sec, okay?
Fuck. Okay.
Okay.
Okay, wait up!
Pull your hand back, okay?
Stay inside the cab!
- Careful! It's not safe!
- Please!
Let me see if I can get this
down the rest of the way first.
Yes, okay.
Hello?
Are you okay?
Deakins, are you in there?
Hi, Eddie.
What the hell happened, man?
How long you been stuck in there?
- A while.
- Here.
Take my key.
Put it in the override.
It's not working.
What?
Can you help?
All right.
Hang on.
I'm going to climb up and...
see if I can get this started.
Hang on.
Stuck.
Okay.
Oh!
What the hell?
Deakins?
Sorry, Eddie.
Wait. No.
What? No. No! No, no!
No, no...
Hey, Jen.
Hi.
I'm sorry, um,
have you seen Eddie?
Eddie split.
Oh.
Goodnight.
Right.
Mm.
Hey, Eddie.
Your girlfriend was looking for you.
Jen?
Jennifer.
I know it's been quite a past few days
and I just want you to know,
I never meant for this to, um,
go so far.
I really do like you.
And I just think maybe in another life,
you know, maybe...
Fuck it.
Jen!
Jen!
Fuck!
What?
No... no!
No, no, no, no, no! No, no!
_
_
Fuck!
Seriously?
Okay.
_
Oh, yeah.
_
Oh.
Uh, wait, wait, can you
hold that, please?
Thanks. Sorry. Thank you very much.
I... wasn't paying attention.
Oh, nice, P5,
I'm all the way down in the dungeon.
That sucks.
Yeah.
Lookin' forward to the long weekend?
Valentine's Day and Presidents' Day?
How often do you get that?
It's like the perfect storm, right?
Oh.
You shouldn't have.
Oh, well, you know,
couldn't help myself.
At least you brought the bottle of wine.
Oh, yeah, closed the deal for a client.
Classy client.
Eh, fairly classy client.
Check out this guy.
Somebody's got issues.
Yeah.
With their artistic abilities.
What the heck was that?
Did we just stop?
You gotta be kidding me.
Let me see.
We can hit the call button.
Hello? "Flashes when call answered."
It's not flashing.
Hello!
- Hello?
- What about the alarm?
You wanna hit the alarm?
I mean, that's what it's
there for, isn't it?
Yeah, I...
Okay, I'm just gonna hit it.
Nada.
That supposed to, like,
buzz or something?
I don't know.
They're not doing anything.
Hello?
Hello, we're stuck in the elevator.
Oh, God.
I mean, I don't know, looks
like something is, uh...
Must be something
electrical or something.
How's that even possible?
The lights are still on
and so's the TV screen.
Yeah.
I think we're pretty close to the, uh...
Yup, that's not gonna work.
So much for my superhuman strength.
Oh, look, there's a camera.
Hello!
Hello!
We're in here!
Hello!
I mean, I would assume
HAL 9000 is up there
seeing this, right?
Hey, what service do you have?
What?
Do you have a signal?
I got nothing.
But mine rarely works
in elevators, you know,
or any major metropolitan area actually.
I've got zero bars.
Well, we are four stories
underground, so...
I mean, maybe we just
wait a minute or two
and I'm sure someone's working on it.
God, I hope so.
I mean, isn't there
security here at night?
I'd rather not be stuck
here till Tuesday morning.
Come on, hello! Gotta go!
You okay?
No, I got a flight to catch.
Oh, man, I'm so sorry.
You're not, like, claustrophobic
or anything like that?
Are you claustrophobic?
I'm not not claustrophobic.
What floor do you work on?
Uh, 49th.
Color and Stanwich.
Oh.
What do you do at Color?
I'm an account supervisor.
It's a public relations...
No, I know, it's... Color's huge,
you guys have like three floors, right?
Yeah uh, five actually.
Oh.
Finnegan Hartman.
That's where I work.
It's an accounting firm.
It's not the sexiest...
Not the...
But I'm new there, so...
you know.
Has anything like this
ever happened before?
- In the elevators?
- I mean, it makes some
gnarly noises sometimes but...
it usually always goes up and down.
Well...
Well.
Shit.
Shit.
Okay, this'll be louder for sure.
Help!
No, I can do better, it's
just hard to get the P out
because then you're kinda...
you're not getting the
same volume on it.
Help!
- Oh, you're gonna try it?
- He...
Help!
We can't possibly be the last people
in the building, right?
Oh, hang on.
What... uh.
Oh, okay, hang on a second.
Can you hold that?
Okay.
You know what, I have an idea.
Oh, bet I can guess what it is.
Yup.
I think that we've known
each other long enough.
There's always an exit
in the ceiling, right?
Yup.
- Ready?
- Yeah.
Okay.
- Ready?
- Yup.
Oh, you're going all the way.
- Yup, ready?
- Okay.
- Wait, ready?
- No, I got it, I got it.
- You're good.
- Sorry.
- Got it. Ready?
- Yeah.
- Whoa.
- Okay.
Yup.
I knew I should have
been a male cheerleader.
Well, it's never too late
to chase your dreams.
Anything?
How is there no escape hatch?
Yeah, I mean, what are
people supposed to do
when there's an actual emergency, right?
Is this not an emergency?
Okay.
- Ow!
- What, you okay?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- You okay?
Yeah, can you just put me down, please?
Yes, I'm sorry.
Are you okay?
- Yeah, I just...
- Let me see.
Honestly, it's fine, I just...
I bruised my ego more than anything.
Okay.
Oh, my God.
My flight.
How long has it been?
Fifteen minutes.
Okay, it feels like an hour.
Now it's been an hour.
Yeah, I'm never gonna make it.
I'm so sorry.
- I feel like crying.
- Oh, no. Please don't cry.
- Why?
- I don't have any Kleenex.
Sorry, I'm just trying to
lighten a shitty situation.
It's fucking bullshit
is what it fucking is.
- Amen.
- Fucking motherfucker.
Fucking piece of shit.
You fucking dick-sucking piece of shit!
You fucking mouth-breathing assholes,
where are they?
I agree.
I'm Jennifer, by the way.
I don't...
What?
You would have thought
that we would have already
exchanged names by now. But... Guymon.
Guy.
Nice to meet you, Guy.
It's really nice to meet you, Jennifer.
I'm sorry it isn't under
different circumstances.
Actually, literally any
other possible circumstance
in the history of humankind
would have been better.
Really?
I mean, I'm having such a great time.
You come here often?
You know, Guy, I don't know
- if I can let you ask me that right now.
- No, I'm not...
I mean, it's usually
backed up with, like,
"Hey, can I buy you a drink?"
and honestly, my thermos is empty
and I'm dying of thirst, so.
Well...
say no more.
- Oh, no, I'm...
- I don't have cooties.
I didn't mean that. I'm not
gonna take your water.
I insist.
It's either this or I pop open the wine.
Is it screw top?
No.
But...
It just so happens, believe
it or not... hang on.
You wait, you're gonna laugh.
Hup.
Oh, my God.
I mean, hey, you never know, right?
Yeah, truly.
I mean, I don't know what
it says about us, but...
Well, it says that we're good scouts.
We're always prepared.
Jennifer, please.
Just a sip.
Keep it.
Have however much you want
whenever you want it.
- Oh, my God, thank you.
- Is it good?
So good.
Now if you had like a double
cheeseburger in the bag.
You know, I usually keep one
stuffed down my pants
but... as a consolation prize,
why don't you have some Kisses?
Oh, I'm sorry, that's just very forward,
but I do accept.
Just do me a favor and keep
the wine away from me.
I mean, I am a girl who's
packing her own corkscrew.
Plus I think we should
definitely save our rations.
I mean...
who knows how long we're
gonna be stuck in here.
No, I would say worst case scenario...
Worst case scenario, we're stuck here
80 hours until Tuesday.
Yeah, trust me I've done the math.
Have you ever considered a career
as an accountant?
'Cause Finnegan Hartman might be
- just the institution for you.
- Please, don't make me laugh.
It's gonna make me wanna pee.
It's okay, I promise, I don't mind.
No.
So embarrassing.
Jennifer.
- Look at me.
- Mm-mm.
It's just something that you have to do
that's completely out of your control.
We've been here for four hours,
so pretty soon it's gonna be
something I have to do too.
Oh, God.
You know, I'm sure you're
one of those people
that are super comfortable
walking around naked
or whatever, but...
I'm an extremely private person.
Okay, I just...
Oh, God, I need my space.
I completely understand
and that is why I'm telling you,
take your space over there
and go mark your territory.
Where? Where?
Go over there in the
corner, I'll go over here,
turn my back,
and you can just go on my coat.
What?
What, it's an old coat,
I don't care. Honestly.
I'll get it cleaned or incinerated.
I'm not gonna pee on your coat.
Okay.
Well then...
why don't you go in your empty thermos?
Close your eyes.
Cover your ears.
You going?
- Great, I can't now.
- What?
I can't now.
Just think about Niagara Falls
or someone else peeing.
♪ La la la ♪
Can't hear anything.
Well, that just happened.
Yup.
Yup, it did.
That was embarrassing.
No, no.
Remember, we're all in this together.
Everyone in here.
Well, it's official.
I've missed my flight.
Well, there's always
next Valentine's Day.
You know, Guy, I really
appreciate your efforts.
Mm-hm.
Even though your jokes are really bad.
Well, you can blame my dad for that.
I guess I'm just trying to...
keep us from going completely insane.
I think you're too late on that one.
That'll do it.
Hm.
I'm not gonna lie...
I wasn't sure at first.
Here.
But... you are a very good
stuck-in-the-elevator buddy.
Thank you.
Do you have any other buddies?
Like are you married?
Boyfriend? Girlfriend?
Anyone who'd come and save us?
No, actually, none of the above.
I am in a kind of all-encompassing
dysfunctional relationship with my job
which is not good news for us
because nobody knows
that I even worked late tonight
or that I would still be
here for any reason at all.
And saying that...
saying that out loud is...
kind of very, very
depressing and pathetic.
You?
Same.
Well...
what about this, like,
super important flight
that you had to catch? I mean,
there must have been...
What, that I had someone
just waiting for me?
Someone who would know I'd be missing?
No.
It's kind of a spur of the moment thing.
It's complicated, it's a long story.
Well, if you wanna talk about it,
or anything at all for that matter,
I'm not going anywhere.
There's really nothing to talk about.
I mean, it's stupid.
I was just gonna go surprise someone.
Someone who...
didn't even know I was coming.
Probably didn't even want me to come.
Quite the pair we are, huh?
Hm.
Wait, I thought...
You're gonna open your bottle of wine?
Well... I figured it's about that time.
You sure?
Well, it's already done now.
I was probably just gonna
re-gift this anyway, so.
Besides, we're done feeling
sorry for ourselves.
All right.
Ladies first.
It's not bad.
I mean, it's not good but it's not bad.
Hm, like I said, fairly classy client.
So what are we celebrating?
How about not being dead yet?
I'll drink to that.
No peeking.
What is that?
Hello?
Hello!
I hope that wasn't a bad thing.
What time is it?
You really wanna know?
No, but yes.
Just what time is it?
It's 1:00 a. m. Saturday.
The weekend's begun.
Let's party!
Hey, we're gonna get out
of here, don't worry.
We'll be fine.
I know.
- So.
- So.
Can I tell you something?
Yeah.
Um...
I wasn't completely honest
with you about something
and it's been bugging me
so I really wanna be straight with you.
Okay.
When I implied earlier that
I'd never seen you before
around the building,
um, that wasn't completely true.
Given the circumstances
that we were in...
that we are in...
I just didn't wanna say anything
that might have made you
feel even more uncomfortable
than, you know, you already were
with the situation or with me.
At the time, I thought
that if I told you
that I did recognize
you from the building,
I didn't want you to think
I was some kind of, like,
stalker or something.
Okay, so when you say you've seen me...
Yeah?
To what extent do you mean?
I just... I've seen you a
couple times in the halls
and just in the lobby mostly.
I don't think you're a stalker, Guy.
Yeah.
Well, right.
However, to be even more honest...
um...
when I've seen you,
I've noticed you.
I just remember thinking to myself,
"Hey, you know, she seems
like a pretty upbeat person
and she... perhaps she's
even really nice."
"And...
she's very pretty.
She's definitely someone
I'd like to know."
Well...
now you do.
And...
I can...
confirm that you are indeed
a very nice person.
Thank you.
And you're also very pretty.
Okay, ready?
No.
Okay.
- Ready?
- Okay.
You go.
- Together.
- Okay.
- One...
- Two...
Three.
- Oh, shit.
- Wow.
Oh, man, I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
- No, I love that.
- This is so good.
- You have captured...
- Thank you.
... a side of me that literally
no one has ever seen.
You know what?
Oh, you're just gonna make a phone call.
No.
If we survive this...
I'm gonna make this my profile picture.
Oh.
Wow, I'm honored.
It's kind of amazing to see
how people really see you.
Yeah, you're telling me.
Come on, that is not accurate at all.
I'm like barely functioning right now
from how hungry I am.
Oh, me too.
All I can think about is, like,
a big juicy kale salad.
A kale salad?
Like, I'm thinking about
a fat stack of pancakes.
Like, smothered in syrup and...
Deep dish meat pizza.
- Oh, God.
- Taco truck burrito...
Okay, stop, stop, stop,
stop. No more food.
Come on, this is already
painful enough as it is.
Yeah, we'll talk about something that is
definitely much less desirable.
What do you wanna talk about?
Whatever you wanna talk about.
Um... football.
No!
Baseball? Cars?
Sex?
Robots?
- All right, let's talk about sex.
- No.
- You called it.
- I was joking.
All right, you wanna talk about sex?
Let's make it interesting.
Okay, now look into the camera.
No.
And I want you to tell
me the dirtiest place
that you've had sex in.
Um, okay.
Oh, my God, do you want me to go first?
Sure.
All right. Here, record me.
Okay.
Got it.
Okay.
Um...
The library.
What?
It was college.
I mean, so my boyfriend and I...
my boyfriend at the time...
had a brilliant idea
that we'd each go get...
you know those cheesy romance novels?
Yeah.
So we'd get one of those
and read out, like,
the raunchiest section to each other.
And... it started off as a joke,
but I don't know, it
ended up turning me on.
I don't... I guess I never read
trashy novels before, so.
Even ones that include lines like,
- "Purple-headed warrior" and...
- Exactly!
Like, "Her heaving,
sweat-glistened breasts."
Okay, stop.
You're way too good at this.
All right.
- Go, your turn.
- Uh...
Okay, I don't know how I'm gonna top,
you know, your college boyfriend
giving you the old Dewey Decimal System.
Come on!
Um...
Unfortunately, I hate to say that
I really don't have a...
a story that is comparable to that.
- I don't believe you.
- It's the truth.
Why would I lie about that?
I should be standing here making up
the raunchiest, most fucking amazing...
All right, so then do that.
Make up the most bullshit sex tale
that you can come up with
of your unstoried sex life.
- Okay, you really want me to?
- Mm-hm.
Okay, well, where am I?
So I'm working on a new project
and, uh, there's this girl
who's involved in the project
and she's fucking gorgeous,
ten out of ten,
Amazon goddess walking the face...
I'm obsessed with her. Everybody...
she's the hottest fucking person at work
and I'm like drooling over her.
And, um... but I don't
do anything about it
until this big work picnic.
She just looks banging
and we start drinking,
everybody's drinking, and
suddenly, she approaches me
and we have some drinks
and then we kinda sneak back to my car
and we're partying some more.
And we're driving now
and she's... she's like,
"Your stick shift... "
No, wait, that's so obvious.
Hang on a second, hang on a second.
She's like, she's like
"Why do they call them glove boxes?"
She talks like that.
And I go, "I don't know,
if you had some gloves,
we'd put 'em on in there, I guess."
And then she looks at me and she goes,
"Well, I don't have any gloves."
And then she slowly slides off
the most incredibly sexy
pair of underwear...
And, uh...
She just like, she puts 'em
in the glove box and...
This is so stupid, I feel so weird
and uncomfortable, it's not...
Wait, what? You can not stop there.
Oh, my God, you're blushing.
Um...
Well, that's not the only thing
that is starting to do
something involuntary
right now.
Hm, all right. That's pretty personal.
Well, that's...
what you wanted, right?
In the spirit of being intensely honest,
that's... I mean, that's
what we're doing now, right?
- That is correct.
- Okay.
What?
Nothing, you're just, you know.
What you're saying is is that...
you're telling me that
you're aroused right now.
Yes.
Oh, fuck, I'm so...
So, I crossed a line, right?
I'm so sorry. It's...
I... Oh, my God, I'm so sorry.
Wasn't what I was thinking.
I just... you know,
you were being honest
and I was just thinking...
that's cool.
It's cool?
Um...
You know...
another true statement.
I'd really like to kiss you.
That's probably not a good idea.
Right?
Okay.
Okay.
Stop.
Okay.
Okay.
Oh, God.
Fuck.
You are amazing.
I could fall in love with you.
Are you all right?
Yeah.
Okay.
I need to know what you're thinking
because, personally,
I'm having... a lot of thoughts
and feelings and, uh...
I'd really like to hear yours first.
Okay.
I was thinking that
yesterday was gonna be the day
that I fixed everything.
I was gonna fly to New
York for the weekend,
I was gonna surprise my ex-fiancé
for Valentine's Day,
and get back together.
You know, forgive and forget everything
and... patch things up.
Make everything okay.
And now?
Now I'm still gonna do that.
I mean, don't get me wrong,
what happened here was...
it was fun and considering
the circumstances...
it was surprisingly nice.
But I love him.
And what he and I have,
it's real.
And this...
This... this is real. I mean...
I'm real, you know?
This is... real.
What I'm trying to say
is that this, this was casual.
You know? I mean, come on.
We've only known each other for one day.
Look, Guy, I'm just trying
to be honest with you.
Which is... it's great.
It's actually freeing.
You know, it's actually what
every committed relationship
should be like.
Just complete transparency.
Is that what you had with your ex?
I mean, complete honesty?
No.
That was exactly the problem.
So then why are you going back with him?
I mean, if it was really
that bad. Like...
with what just happened.
With us.
We have history.
And this is... this is
some weird fantasy.
Jen...
we connected.
You know...
he doesn't deserve you.
He didn't even want you there, right?
Whoa, whoa, Guy, first of all,
you don't know him, okay?
- And you don't even know me.
- Yeah.
Look, I'm not trying to be rude,
but we're not a thing.
Yeah. Uh...
You're right, and...
when we get outta here,
I'm gonna take you out...
When we get outta here, okay,
you're gonna go back to your life
and I'm gonna go back to mine.
And just act like none
of this ever happened?
Obviously it happened.
Come on, I mean, we can't erase that.
And that's fine, really, all right,
but it's not gonna change
the way that I feel now
and it's definitely not gonna
change anything later.
Look...
why don't we think about it like this?
All right, now you have
this crazy sex tale
- that you can share.
- Okay, but like...
Don't you believe that
this somehow, like,
that all this was some sort of like...
fate?
Wow.
It's so funny, it's like...
Like we're locked in
this tiny little box
but we're still a million miles apart.
Guy, come on.
No.
It's fine.
Doesn't even matter.
We'll be fine.
Because we're honest with each other.
And that's the most
important thing, right?
In every committed relationship?
You know, it's just...
there's just something about you
that makes me want to
be so honest with you.
I want to tell you everything.
I want to tell you things like...
I'm not new to the building.
I'm not an accountant.
My name isn't Guy.
What are you talking about?
And...
I certainly have noticed you,
Jennifer Robbins.
I didn't tell you my last name.
But not just a couple of times.
Try dozens of times.
Hundreds of times.
Like...
every single work day, in fact.
Let me see. Hm.
Huh.
Arriving at 9:00 a.m.
Always the last one to leave. Hm.
7:00, sometimes 8:00.
This.
You know, like tonight.
Right before you got into this elevator.
And how do I know all that?
Because...
building security guard sees everyone.
Notices everyone, watches everyone,
knows all their comings and goings
every fucking day,
but nobody ever fucking sees us
because we're fucking,
fucking, fucking, fucking,
fucking, fucking invisible!
You're a security guard?
Mm-hm. Front desk.
Busiest place in the building.
Loneliest job on the planet.
But I know I wasn't alone in here.
I know I was looking into the eyes
of another human being. Right?
I know I was sharing an
experience with you.
I was there.
Inside of you.
We were holding each other.
Right?
I'm not making that up.
I know you, Jennifer.
More than fucking Derek knows you.
But that's not enough for you, clearly.
This wasn't enough for you, right?
Everything that I planned
this weekend, for you!
For you, Jennifer.
For us. Everything that happened.
But... but...
if you wanna go,
you can go.
Ugh... Oh, my God.
You've had a key.
Am I insane?
You had me locked in an elevator?
Mm, yeah, I'm fucked up, yeah.
I'm a fuckin' asshole, right?
Oh, my God, we fucking had sex.
Who the fuck do you think you are?
I'm gonna fucking call the cops on you.
You're gonna go to fucking jail.
You're going to fucking jail
for this, do you hear me?
You're gonna rot in fucking jail!
I can't have that.
No!
No, don't... don't...
Stop... stop...
No... fuck...
Fuck... no!
You broke it?
No, no, no.
Fuck!
Fuck you, you fuckin' piece of shit!
I'll fucking kill you!
Oh, hi, welcome back.
Safe to say,
you didn't like my little icebreaker.
- Why?
- Hm?
Why?
I mean, come on, Jen.
What better way to meet a girl
than to set up a situation
where she has time to get to know you?
Away from distractions
and text messages,
to connect with another human being.
And now, here we are.
And not only have I achieved that,
we practically had an
entire relationship.
We... we met, we talked,
we got to know each other, we fucked.
We fought, we broke up.
All in a weekend, all in a room.
You're not gonna get away with this.
- Someone's coming.
- No, no, no... no.
No one's coming, Jen.
What about the other security guards?
- There has to be several.
- Well, since you asked,
there were three of us scheduled
for this holiday weekend,
so first I told Phillip that
I would take his shift,
and then I told Eddie the same thing,
and Eddie's got a hot new girlfriend,
so, naturally, he jumped at the chance,
so, no, Jen, no one is
coming until Tuesday.
What are you gonna do?
You're stuck in here with me too.
Yeah, that's right. You
really fucked it up
for both of us, didn't you?
So I've gotta figure out
what to do with you.
Because I'll tell you right now,
I'd rather kill you
than go back to prison.
Fucking monster.
- You're a fucking monster.
- No.
No, I'm not.
See, I never forced you to do anything.
Anything you didn't want to do.
All I did was encourage the situation.
Encourage the situation?
You fucking kidnapped me!
No!
I did not kidnap you!
You liked me!
We connected, you bitch!
But then, you fucked it up!
I feel better.
I feel better.
Huh.
Let's open some gifts.
Mind if I take a stab at what this is?
Let's see, was that a yes? What?
Well, I'm not going with Legos.
I don't know.
Huh. Let's see.
"To Derek, love, J."
Nice and simple.
Mm, let's see.
Jenny!
You shouldn't have.
Is this a large... it's a large!
No fucking way.
I got an inkling that maybe...
you know what?
Let me see.
How's it look?
Huh?
Who knew
that me and Derek were the same build?
Well...
I guess you know now, right?
All right, your turn.
Come on, please.
Open the fucking box.
All right.
I'm just gonna help you a little bit,
you gotta do the rest yourself.
Open the fucking present, Jen,
open it!
It's the day of fuckin' love.
Come on, go ahead.
What is inside?
Stogies!
Wow.
What's this?
I've always wanted to
try one of these guys.
And a really cool lighter.
How 'bout that?
Stop acting like I would
fucking hurt you!
What is it about cigars and guys?
We just fuckin' love
them, aren't they...
they're just like,
there's like a fascination
with them, you know?
They're just like so phallic.
It's like...
It's like you're sucking on
a big, smoking dick, right?
You have any, um, raunchy sex stories?
With cigars? I bet you do, right?
No!
Put it in your mouth.
You look so fuckin' sad!
Jen, it's really a shame,
because I do think
with all these nice gifts,
you would've gotten Derek back.
Happy fuckin' Valentine's Day, Jen.
I'm so sorry, Jen.
I lose it sometimes when I get mad
and I scare you.
And I never wanna scare you again.
You think you can give
us another chance?
You don't have to make
any decisions right now,
just... just think about it, okay?
Look at these two.
They're holding hands
in the sunset.
Just pointing and smiling
in their bathing suits.
Look so happy.
Sunny Sky Resort.
So beautiful.
I wanna take you there.
Yet here we are,
under these obnoxious
flickering fluorescents.
Except for this guy,
this guy's not workin'.
Hello?
Have to tell someone about that.
We should...
point this out to maintenance.
Woo!
Now they're working.
Now they're definitely
gonna have to replace
that light bulb.
Unless they wanna replace the whole...
There's no screws.
There's no screws
on this side.
I got a joke for you.
How many security guards does it take
to change a light bulb?
None, because we're
not fuckin' janitors.
But janitors
have to be able to change these lights.
There can't be a solid
ceiling on the other side
of this panel, right?
If I could just break
through this panel.
Hang on.
Here we go.
Oh, yes.
Oh, my God!
Jen!
Holy shit!
We're free.
Why the fuck didn't I
think of that before?
Okay.
Can you give me a boost?
I'm gonna climb up through the shaft.
When I get to the lobby,
I'll come back down and open the doors
from the outside, I'll get
you outta here, okay?
No, I think it's gonna be easier
if you boost me.
- No, no, no.
- Think about it,
I don't have enough strength
to push you up, and...
and I'll do anything that you say,
you just talk me through it.
What? No, that's a real climb. Look.
I know where everything
is already, so just...
I'm gonna get us out of here, okay?
I believe you but I'm just worried
that when you get out,
you're gonna change your mind,
you're not gonna wanna come back for me.
You'll just leave me in here
and you'll call the cops
- or something.
- We're just gonna have
to trust each other, okay?
I'm not gonna call the cops.
Who would even do that?
After everything that
we've been through?
- I just wanna get out of here.
- I really want to, and I...
and I...
I don't want you to go to jail.
You know, you're right.
It was all a misunderstanding.
I'll get us out of there, and then...
and then we can go to the resort.
You know?
Sunny Sky Resort?
Please.
Put your left leg right
here, here we go.
Okay, perfect.
Big step, up!
Come on, you got it, you
got it, you got it!
Yes, yes, perfect!
Okay, hold on tight, I'm
gonna put your foot...
Okay. Hold on tight, ready?
Now, right foot on my shoulder.
Perfect, okay.
Ready? And step up when you're ready.
Great. Good, good, good.
Okay, keep going, nice.
Perfect! Yes, yes, yes!
Okay.
There's a door up there, right?
Yep.
Okay, good, okay.
There's a ladder behind you.
Should be able to just
push that door right open.
Okay, that ladder goes all
the way up, you see it?
Go! Straight up.
We did it! We did it!
Oh, Jen, no, no, no, no, no, no, no...
No!
You bitch!
Fuck, fuck you, you fucking bitch!
You fucking bitch!
I will fucking get you, Jen!
I should've killed you!
I could have killed you!
You.
Yes. Yes!
Hey, Jen, hey!
Oh, you better run...
'cause now, you're gonna die.
Oh, shit!
You better fuckin' run!
Help!
Come on.
Come on.
What are you doing?
Get back.
Get back.
You broke my nose!
Get off, you crazy bitch!
Fuck!
What are you, gonna
fucking swim outta here?
All you're gonna do is get us soaked
or electrocuted!
Are you listening to me? Do you get it?
It's not going to work!
That should cue the fire department.
Fucking asshole.
It's not gonna be long now.
Well, what now? What's the plan?
Huh?
No, Jen.
No. No, no, no, wait.
No, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, Jen.
Jen, look at me, no, no, no.
Stop, stop, stop, stop! No, no, no. No.
No!
I've never heard a grown
man beg like that before.
Did you have something to say to me?
- Thank you.
- For what?
Thank you for not disfiguring me.
You know what we're gonna do?
You and I are gonna make a deal.
This is not gonna be one
of those times when
they finally find us,
and then I call the cops,
and it's your story against mine.
No. I want guarantees,
'cause you're gonna go to fucking jail
- for what you've done to me.
- Okay, okay, please,
just please don't do it, okay?
It's Sunday,
February 15th, and...
the only reason why I
know this is because
I saw it on my phone.
I have been trapped in a elevator
with a man who claims to be
the building security guard.
He says his name is Guy.
That's not right, is it?
No.
What is your name?
It's John.
Your full name.
John Deakins.
So Deakins here,
he's gonna tell us the truth
about exactly what happened.
I caused us to get stuck
in this elevator.
It wasn't an accident?
No, I did it on purpose.
Yes.
I used my key to stop the elevator
when you weren't looking.
Check out this guy.
Nice plan.
How did that work out for you?
Now, was I a willing
participant in any of this?
No.
Did you trap me in here?
- I didn't trap you...
- Tell the truth!
Ow! Yes, yes, yes, I trapped you.
- So you kidnapped me, right?
- Yes.
Yes, I kid... I kidnapped you.
- Sit up.
- I can't... my fuckin' back.
- Sit up.
- Okay, okay, okay.
Okay, okay, what?
- You hurt?
- Yes. Yes!
And did you hurt me?
When I was trapped in here?
Yes.
How so?
I hit your head on the ground...
- and I choked you.
- And?
And I threw you against the wall.
So you've kidnapped me.
Assault and battery.
Why?
Why do all of this?
Because I wanted to meet you, Jen.
So then why didn't you just ask me out
like a normal human being?
Because you wouldn't have
given me the time of day.
You woulda turned me down, and I wanted
a guaranteed conversation with you,
I wanted your undivided attention.
I think I deserve that,
but no, I'm just a security guard,
but guess what, no, I'm
not... I'm not, actually.
This was me.
This was my fucking life.
John Deakins, EVP at Finnegan's,
that's why you've never heard of it,
because it's not in
this fucking building.
I used to brag the guys
wanna be me at the company,
the girls wanna bed me at the company.
You remember? You remember
that sex story I told you
with the panties in the glove box?
That was true, Jen.
That... that hot co-worker of mine?
She wanted me.
John Deakins.
Number one with a fuckin' bullet.
But it's not the whole story,
the whole story is that...
maybe it was the alcohol,
maybe it was her being
freaky in the car,
but I missed that exit entirely
and I drove right clean off it,
right into a ravine.
I flipped my Audi seven times.
It would've been more if
it wasn't for that tree.
The impact just obliterated her body.
Just killed her.
I had a bump on my forehead, that was
my only injury, and then later,
thanks to my fucking amazing lawyer
and because I'm John fucking Deakins,
I only got six months in jail.
But when I got out,
because I was a convicted felon,
I couldn't buy myself a job.
My savings finally ran out, and then,
I finally bent over
and got this security gig,
not something that John Deakins 1.0
would've ever done.
After a few months of this shit,
it was fucking time. I wanted
to feel like me again,
I wanted to be him, right?
To be me again.
I worked my whole fucking life for it.
I just wanted to feel it,
just for a little while.
Why?
Just why me?
Because you light up
the entire building,
you don't even know it.
You walked into the lobby
in an orange jacket, I
fuckin' hate orange,
it's the worst fuckin'
color in the world,
but it didn't matter,
'cause it can't compete with you.
Anyways, that's why.
_
It's gonna be worth it
when you see this view.
Is this it? Are we almost there?
- So close.
- It better be.
Are you comin' or what?
Come on, baby, it's cold
and wet and I'm exhausted!
Can't we just go back to your place?
No, no, no! You're gonna love this!
Come on.
There's really no one here?
Already told you, just one
of the dudes I work with.
Nothing to worry about.
He's harmless.
Yo, Deakins!
Hey! John?
Rube, what are you doing?
I thought you said you
wanted to see the roof!
No, I told you I was done.
This is stupid.
Hang here a sec. Do not fall asleep.
Deakins, you decent, man?
Heads up, I brought in
my girlfriend, so...
Hey, this is John. Leave a
message after the beep.
Holy shit.
Um...
Hello. Can you hear me in the elevator?
Hello!
Uh...
Hello?
Can you hear me?
Is someone there?
Can you guys hear me?
- Hello?
- Hello!
Can you hear me?
Yes, I can hear you, I can see you.
- Is everyone okay?
- Yes!
- Please help me!
- Are you guys all right?
Get me out of here, please!
Okay, there's been a malfunction.
I can see that the power
went out, and, uh...
Please hurry.
Hurry up, we're in here, please!
I'm gonna come down there,
I'm gonna let you out manually.
Just hang tight.
Yes, please hurry, hurry!
Hey, Rube?
There's some people stuck
in one of the elevators.
I'm gonna go down, see
if I can get 'em out!
Hey!
- Are you in there, Deakins?
- I'm in here, please, yes!
- I'm here, okay...
- We've been in here for days!
Please, just get me outta here!
Just, uh, hold on a sec, okay?
Fuck. Okay.
Okay.
Okay, wait up!
Pull your hand back, okay?
Stay inside the cab!
- Careful! It's not safe!
- Please!
Let me see if I can get this
down the rest of the way first.
Yes, okay.
Hello?
Are you okay?
Deakins, are you in there?
Hi, Eddie.
What the hell happened, man?
How long you been stuck in there?
- A while.
- Here.
Take my key.
Put it in the override.
It's not working.
What?
Can you help?
All right.
Hang on.
I'm going to climb up and...
see if I can get this started.
Hang on.
Stuck.
Okay.
Oh!
What the hell?
Deakins?
Sorry, Eddie.
Wait. No.
What? No. No! No, no!
No, no...
Hey, Jen.
Hi.
I'm sorry, um,
have you seen Eddie?
Eddie split.
Oh.
Goodnight.
Right.
Mm.
Hey, Eddie.
Your girlfriend was looking for you.
Jen?
Jennifer.
I know it's been quite a past few days
and I just want you to know,
I never meant for this to, um,
go so far.
I really do like you.
And I just think maybe in another life,
you know, maybe...
Fuck it.
Jen!
Jen!
Fuck!
What?
No... no!
No, no, no, no, no! No, no!
