Fine, okay. I'll see you then. Take care.

-I repeat, after 49 hours, Joe Tucker...(voice fades)
- Hell... Hello?
Wha-
[Episode 1] - "Checking In"
Janet: What?...
(People screaming)
???: Calm down everybody I'm going to get help. Everybody shut up, now!
- Wait up, I'm going to help!
No... It's jammed.
Stay back, I'm coming in!
Janet: What the hell...
Don't come any closer!
I'm here to help you!
Tell me where we are!
- What? I don't know!
Did you kidnap these people?...
No, I was taken here too.
[Flashback]
Reporter: Authorities are searching the area for potential clues and interviewing eye witnesses...
- You're him... Joe: The guy I saw on TV!
What happened to you?
Joe: I... don't know. I can't say for sure.
Wait... How did you get out of your room?
Look.
Apparently our kidnappers are kind enough to give us keys.
- Come on! We gotta help them.
Hey.
The name's Charlie.
Hey.
- You don't look like room service...
Hey are you okay?
Who are you! Get away from me! - Hey, stop! Weíre not going to hurt you!
Don't touch me!
Charlie: Whoa, calm down there! Weíre friendly.
I can't believe this...
We're gonna get out of here, I promise.
Donít make promises you canít keep, dude. Look around
the windows are all locked up. Who did this anyway?...
- I'm not gonna stay to find out.
It's off-service.
Erika: Really? What gave It away?
- This is useless!
What kind of kidnapping is this?!
Joe: You need to calm down, woman!
Don't call me woman again if you want to keep your front teeth.
I don't even know you.
I'm Joe Tucker. I'm-
- Who the hell cares about names right now?
Where are our "kidnappers"?
They probably want money.
It's fine because my dad has plenty, so we'll be out of here in no time.
I don't see anyone requesting anything.
Did any of you... do something to get in trouble lately?
That doesnít make sense. Why take all of us?
How much is a person worth?
[laughs] What?
You mean... a human? Like, dollars?
Exactly.
Do any of you own any valuables, maybe life insurance?
I'm not worth anything to anyone...
Maybe! Maybe not.
What do you do?
JOE: I'd rather not say.
Dude, answer the question!
Hey! I owe you no explanation
And while weíre questioning where our kidnapper is,
how are you sure they're not right here, in this room?
[Elevator sounds]
It's back on.
Genius.
What are you guys doing?! We need to hide!
CHARLIE: Well, shall we?
Is this what I think it is?
You mean a god damn motel?
And a hideous one, look!
There's dust everywhere and I'm pretty sure I got Hep. C
by just stepping on this carpet. I'm out of here.
JOE: Not so fast. There's someone there.
Good afternoon. Do you require assistance?
Who are you?
MANAGER: I'm the night manager. I manage the nighttime shifts at this Motel.
Do you know when we got here?
I'm sorry, but no. I just started last night.
We're having a very weird day and you better start giving us answers
Where are we?
Welcome to the Hollow Tower Motel! We've been going strong
since the 70's - so we have quite a bit of history!
ERIKA: Is there any food?
Dinner will be served shortly. Please refer to the building on the other side of the street.
I'm game.
You have a serious Hannibal Lecter vibe going on...
I'm not down to being chopped into pieces and served as someone else's entreé.
Thanks but no thanks.
Dude, don't insult the man who is offering us food!
Are we seriously discussing this right now?
I'm going.
Way ahead of you.
MANAGER: Please enjoy your stay!
A phone!
Charlie: I wonder who's watching us...
Hello?
[Phone Dial sounds]
JANET: Dammit! It's not working.
I think we should be looking for a police officer.
We're out of luck honey.
No oneís coming for us.
Joe: Were people looking for me? On the news I mean.
Yes, the name Joe Tucker was all over town.
What's your name again?
I never said it.
My name is Janet, Janet Cooper.
Joe: Well Janet Cooper, whatís waiting for you ahead of this line?
More like a ëwhoís waitingí.
My sister. She's the only family I have.
If I'm here, in this place, heaven alone knows if she's okay.
JOE: It's late, we should go.
Janet?
Janet!
What happened?
JOE: You fainted. You had us worried.
Just like that? I have never fainted in my life.
CHARLIE: What's that on your leg?
What?
I donít know...
- Was it there before?
No.
Does it... hurt?
JANET: Enough with the 20 questions already!
JOE: Let me take a closer look.
Wait... I'm almost certain this is some kind of implant.
Look, I have one too!
Okay 'dude' , take your clothes off.
You take your clothes off!
Donít be a baby.
Someone please take this off me!
Eyes front pervert. Are you done yet?
ERIKA: Found it. Right there.
We've all got one.
Joe, do you...
know what these implants do exactly?
JOE: Biometric implants.
They administrate medicine over extended periods of time, and are operated remotely.
We're carrying a buttload of tranquilizers.
We walk past a certain point and the implant gets triggered.
You know a lot about this stuff...
Meds used to take a big part in my life.
Okay. Iím officially creeped out.
Someone really doesn't want us to leave this place.
This is just great. We try to leave and we start dropping like flies!
Oh my God, Joe, how do we get them out?!
They are very deep. And we don't have the tools to take them out.
I got the message from our kitchen that dinner is about to be served.
Please, come in.
JOE: I don't know if this is a good idea
we don't know what they're feeding us.
I say we stab 'em with some forks and make a run for it.
Look, umm...
Moira.
JANET: Moira, I want to get out of here as much as the next guy, but for now
we don't have a choice. We can keep searching tomorrow.
Not if they choke us in our sleep.
JOE: If they wanted us dead we would be.
Question is, why keep us all here?
And what's with the cameras?
Is this some sick reality show where Ryan Seacrest is gonna
bust out of those doors telling us we got punkíd or something?
No, you're way off track.
Ryan Seacrest hosts American Idol. He's so hot but
pretty sure he's gay.
MOIRA: And does 'miss attitude' have a name?
Victoria.
MANAGER: Dinner is served. Now please; eat.
But wait, is this safe?
I suppose so!
MANAGER: Did everybody enjoy their meal?
JOE: I think itís time for us to have a little chat.
I'm at your service. What would you like to know?
MOIRA: Okay, for starters where did you come from?
I have an apartment in the town.
She means before you got here.
A gentleman I had business with offered me the job.
I went to bed. The next day I woke up here.
Guys, he's dodging the question.
This is pointless, I'm going to bed.
[Phone Rings]
JANET: Hello?...
VOICE: Do you want to go free?
Who is this?
If you want to go free...
You must kill your neighbor.
