"HOSTEL" (2005)

We are in what looks like a hospital morgue or an embalming room. We see fragments of the room, so we cannot exactly place where we are. Credits run over the following images: A tile wall splattered with blood. A cleaner hoses off the wall with a power hose. We barely see his body, just the hands on the nozzle.

A pair of rubber gloved hands scrub blood off a wall with a brush.

The hands clean bloody surgical tools in a vat of water, rinsing them off. The tools are merely cleaned, not sterilized, and are then wiped dry and laid out on a metal table.

A power hose sprays blood and bile off the floor.

Watered-down blood, vomit, and bleach run down the drain in the middle of the floor.

Near the final credit we tilt up from the drain to a lone metal chair in the center of the room, dripping wet.

We hear the footsteps of someone in heavy boots walking towards a door. A light is turned off and we hear a heavy metal door slammed shut, killing all light in the room.

Starting on the sign "Hostel," (which functions as our title card) we move down to reveal the exterior of a youth hostel in downtown Amsterdam. A backpacker checks the address in a guide book and steps inside, passing by three guys who leap out the front door, bursting with excitement. EYTHOR (pronounced AAY-THOR), 23, a wild Icelandic party guy, leads the charge, dressed in an orange Icelandic jacket. PAXTON and JOSH, two Americans right out of college, follow close behind. Paxton's got bleach blonde hair, a pierced tongue, and patches of facial scruff. Josh is more clean cut, with a backwards baseball cap, and looks like a nice Jewish boy who's never gotten into trouble.

Eythor sings like an opera singer, as they walk into town.

The walk along a street. Paxton looks at a map, Eythor looks at the girls passing by, and Josh takes pictures of the buildings.

WHAP! A hand TEARS the map out of Paxton's hands, startling the guys. A group of Muslim guys about their age pass by and knock into them on purpose. The Muslims throw the map back at the guys.

The Muslim guys stop and turn, ready to fight.

Paxton looks at the gang of guys. They look tough.

The guy shoves Paxton. Eythor has already grabbed a taxi.

Josh and Paxton quickly get in the cab. The Muslim guys stare them down.

Paxton and Eythor smoke hash at a coffeehouse. They sit in a thick cloud of smoke. Josh drinks tea. He hates the smoke.

Josh takes the pipe.

Josh reluctantly smokes. It burns his throat, sending him into a coughing fit.

Josh chugs down a water at the bar. The music is loud and the place is packed. He stands next to a girl who sends text messages. It seems like they've been talking a bit.

The girl answers her phone and walks away. Josh walks over to Paxton, who talks with two Dutch girls. They are just about finished with their drinks.

Josh unzips a fanny pack and pulls out some money. The girls see this and giggle to themselves. Paxton rolls his eyes.

The girls walk away. Paxton turns to Josh, pissed.

Josh smugly removes his phone from his fanny pack. He shows Paxton a picture on his phone of a Eythor fucking a girl in a bathroom stall, with the text: "Sneepur!!!!"

Eythor fucks a girl in the bathroom stall, while typing text messages over her shoulder, and taking pictures of the girl with his camera-phone.

A few cute girls get drinks at the bar. Paxton looks to Josh. He takes off Josh's fanny pack and holds it.

Josh smiles, accepting the challenge. He straightens his shirt and walks over to talk to the girls. One of them turns and bumps into Josh, spilling her drink all over him.

A Dutch guy steps in and shoves Josh. Paxton sees this and comes to Josh's defense, shoving the guy back. In seconds there's a crowd on them, pushing and shoving. A few of the girls spit at Paxton and Josh.

Eythor steps out of the bathroom, tucking in his shirt. He sees a large Dutch BOUNCER tossing Josh and Paxton out of the club while the crowd whistles and taunts them.

The bouncer throws Josh and Paxton out of the disco. Josh still holds a glass in his hand.

Josh whips his glass on the ground.

Eythor drags Paxton and Josh away.

The guys drink in silhouette, the city lit up behind them. They howl like wolves, drinking beer and smoking hash.

Josh and Paxton join in, singing Hava Nagila.

The guys walk through the Red Light district, staring at the naked girls who stand in the windows like merchandise on display. They wave to the guys, and gesture for them to come inside. The guys look pretty fucked up.

A cute Japanese prostitute gestures to the boys.

The beautiful hooker in window beckons the guys over. Eythor smiles, trying to get her to show the merchandise by playfully flipping up his shirt. She seductively shows a little nipple in return.

Eythor blows her kisses. She blows one back. Eythor holds up his camera phone. She nods no. He puts it away.

Eythor drags Josh inside by his ear.

The Brothel is a small apartment building, except the rooms are all for prostitutes. Every prostitute has decorated the outside of their door with their name and some small picture or drawing. Some rooms even have a welcome mat. Josh waits in the hall outside a door with the name MONIQUE written diagonally down the door in cutout letters with glitter. A few teddy bears decorate the door.

Josh can hear Paxton and Eythor inside the room, laughing, singing, and having sex with the hooker.

Josh wanders up and down the hall. There's an open door. A homely looking prostitute looks up from a crossword puzzle and smiles at Josh. He keeps walking. Josh hears a noise coming from behind the door of a girl named DOMINIQUE. It sounds rough...

Josh hear's a SMACK noise. Then a PUNCH. The girl screams even LOUDER. She's in pain.

Josh turns the door handle and opens the door. He sees the girl, Dominique, face down on the bed tied up. A man stands at the edge of the bed, punching her. We can't see his face, just his hand beating her up. Dominique looks up at Josh, with a bloody nose.

The man beating Dominique wears a leather S&M mask.

Suddenly a HAND grabs Josh on the shoulder. Josh turns around... it's Paxton. Josh closes the door. The beating inside resumes. Paxton gestures towards the hooker down the hall.

Eythor walks between the guys and opens the door to Dominique's room.

Eythor pulls Paxton in the Dominique's room and closes the door. Josh sees the pretty hooker's door open, down the hall.

Josh hesitantly steps in the doorway. He looks nervous.

The hooker stands at the sink, washing herself. She washes her thighs, then her hands, gargles with mouth wash, spritzes perfume, and turns to Josh. He's a bit grossed out. She smiles, warmly.

Josh sits on the bed next to her. He looks petrified. He sweats, nervously. She can tell he's a first timer.

The hooker walks across the room to open a window.

She takes off her top, and turns around to find Josh GONE.

They arrive at the hostel. The street is dark and quiet.

The front door is locked shut with a metal gate.

Paxton rattles the door and kicks it, yelling.

A German guy screams at them from inside the hostel.

Paxton responds IN GERMAN.

A BOTTLE SMASHES on the ground behind Paxton, nearly killing him. The guys jump a foot, and look up behind them.

ANOTHER BOTTLE NEARLY HITS THEM. They look up at the building across the street, where a lot of angry neighbors yell at them from their windows.

A VOICE calls from a window a few floors up in the Hostel.

The guys look up. A young guy, about their age, leans out the window. He points to the fire escape.

The guys look at the fire escape. Paxton climbs up first, followed by Eythor, then Josh. They avoid the bottles smashing near their feet.

The guys climb through the window, into a small room with several beds. One of the beds is occupied with an Australian couple FUCKING. They seem to be out of it on drugs.

ALEX, the guy who let them in, lights a cigarette. He wears a dark black jacket, has sunken eyes, a bit of scruff, and a charming smile. He's oddly skinny, with bad skin. We recognize him as the backpacker who was walking into the Hostel while they were leaving to go out for the night.

Paxton, Eythor, and Josh settle in the room, trying to act casual about the couple across the room fucking in plain sight.

Paxton shakes hands with Alex.

Eythor stands uncomfortably close to the naked couple, mesmerized.

Paxton packs a bowl and offers it to Alex.

Alex gets up and grabs a digital camera from his backpack. They huddle around the LCD screen.

Alex flips through photos. They are all of beautiful naked girls fucking Alex. And each other. The guys are hypnotized.

Alex smiles, knowing he's a fucking stud.

Alex shows them more photos. They guys are incredulous.

Various shots of the train rolling through the countryside. We hear Alex in voice over, as we see images of the train getting farther and farther away from western civilization.

Josh sleeps on the train. He wakes up and realizes Eythor's balls are on his shoulder. Paxton takes a photo.

Eythor and Paxton laugh at Josh, looking at the photo.

A DUTCH BUSINESSMAN man of about 45, balding, with a beard and glasses, enters the car, talking loudly on a cell phone. Eythor quickly puts his balls away.

The businessman wears a suit and carries a travel bag and briefcase. He speaks in Dutch. It is not subtitled, but from his tone of voice we know he's talking to a child.

He hangs up, then realizes the guys have stopped their conversation, and are staring at him.

The Businessman takes out his wallet. He shows the guys a photo of his daughter.

Eythor takes out his wallet and shows the Businessman a picture of a little girl.

Josh and Paxton look at each other, surprised. Eythor has a daughter?!?!

The businessman smiles a knowing smile.

The businessman takes out his lunch, smiling. He eats his sandwich and his salad with his hands. His hands shake a little.

The businessman winks at Josh. The guys crack up. He eats more salad with his hands.

The businessman puts his hand on Josh's knee.

The businessman gets up and leaves the car, deeply apologetic.

Once he leaves Eythor and Paxton bust out laughing. Josh does not. He wipes the salad residue off his pants.

The train stops at the station. It's a dirty station with only a few trains coming and going, and maybe one stand for coffee and snacks. A lot of cab drivers and gypsy cab drivers wait, accosting passengers getting off the train.

The guys get off the train, quickly walking away from the Dutch businessman. A town car driver meets the businessman and takes his bag and briefcase. The businessman smiles and waves to the boys before getting in the car.

Eythor hails a cab, and the guys get in. Josh notices a few bullet holes on the door. He looks at Paxton, who shrugs. They drive off.

The guys look out the window at the grey, dark, industrial city. All they see are burned out factories and dead towns. It looks like the area had a war about five years ago and hasn't recovered. The colors are grey, bleak, and depressed.

They pass by a factory with a smoking chimney. Paxton and Josh exchange a look. They're bored already.

The roads change from industrial landscapes to grey forests. They pass by farms. They drive up into the mountains.

They soon find themselves in a village. A very charming village, with houses that look hundreds of years old. Snow covered roofs. An open market where people buy and sell food, goods, and clothing.

The cab driver stops outside a hostel, which looks more like a boutique hotel, with a nice awning and marble steps.

The guys get out, extremely impressed.

The guys walk inside. It's nice. Really nice. The lobby is a marble floor with old paintings and beautiful furniture. A few backpackers and some Eastern European girls sit in the lobby watching "Pulp Fiction" dubbed into Slovak.

Two beautiful Japanese girls, KANA and YUKI, 20, pass by. Kana is a traditional beauty with long black hair, while Yuki is more Tokyo Pop, with spikey hair dyed orange. The girls check themselves out in the mirror as they leave. They pass by Paxton and touch his jacket, admiring it.

Yuki pushes Kana out the door, giggling. Paxton watches them go, smiling and raising his eyebrows in approval to Eythor.

Josh pours himself a cup of tea from a buffet, and grabs a few cookies. A pretty Eastern European girl takes a cookie, smiling at Josh.

Eythor hones in on a beautiful girl behind the front desk.

The guys hand over their passports, and she hands them the keys.

The guys open the door and see two STUNNING EUROPEAN girls in their g-strings, changing.

The girls continue changing, not even fazed.

Eythor takes off his shirt. The girls laugh.

The girls leave. The guys watch them go, frozen.

Josh, Eythor and Paxton exit the showers and walk across to the sauna. There are a few chaise lounges, a water cooler, a steam room, and a sauna. A few other backpackers walk through the Spa, naked.

They see the European girls naked in the sauna. Josh sees them in the glass window and for a second the girls look like the red light district hookers in their window. The guys step into the sauna. Josh and Paxton are wrapped in towels, Eythor lets it all hang out.

The group laughs. Eythor shows Josh, again.

Svetlana lies down on the bench and stretches out, closing her eyes. The guys try not to stare. But...she's naked.

Eythor jumps up, dumps a bucket of water on the hot coals, and does a naked dance in front of the group. Everyone laughs. The guys rat-tail him with their towels.

Eythor, Josh and Paxton all dance like crazed animals at a packed disco with the girls. The dancing is more silly than sexual, and the guys are really cutting loose and having fun. The Japanese girls, Kana and Yuki, are there, too, as are a few other girls from the hostel.

Svetlana places a tab of E on Eythor's tongue. Paxton takes one, too. They sip some water and continue dancing.

Natalya puts a tab on her tongue and suddenly leans in kiss Josh. Natalya and Josh kiss, and then she gives him a sip of water. Eythor puts his arm around Josh.

The guys sit at a booth with the girls, getting wasted.

Natalya points to the dance floor, where Eythor swing dances with Vala, who we recognize as the beautiful girl who checked them in at the front desk. Eythor can really swing dance.

Svetlana pulls Paxton on the dance floor. They join Vala and Eythor. Natalya sits next to Josh, smoking. The smoke clearly bothers him.

Josh stands outside the disco, coughing wildly. He puffs on an asthma inhaler, breathing in the night air. Someone tugs at Josh's leg.

Josh turns around to see a small Kid, maybe 9 years old, standing in front of him with his hand out. He looks dirty and scratched up, like a rat. He speaks with a Slovak accent.

Another kid tugs at Josh from behind him. Josh looks behind him. Suddenly he's surrounded by about ten dirty, mean looking kids.

The kid means it. These kids look tough. A kid missing an eye pulls out a knife.

The kids turn to see THE DUTCH BUSINESSMAN. He's dressed more casually, in a black t-shirt and leather jacket. He throws a few packs of gum to the lead kid, along with a few Slovak crowns. The lead kid takes the gum. The kid stares at Josh, then walks away. The other kids follow.

Josh thinks for a moment.

Josh sits at the bar with the Dutch Businessman. Paxton and Eythor wave to Josh to come over. Josh waves that he's fine. Paxton and Eythor laugh and the whole table waves at them.

Josh puts his hand on the Businessman's knee for a moment. Josh notices a tattoo of a bloodhound dog on the businessman's arm, near the bicep. The Businessman looks Josh in the eye.

They exchange an understanding glance. Josh sips his drink, not responding one way or the other.

Josh looks at the businessman. Then back at his friends, who are on the dance floor.

Natalya grabs Josh and pulls him up off the stool as we-

Natalya pulling Josh onto the bed. They are naked. Paxton is on his bed with Svetlana, Eythor on his bed with Vala. Everyone rips off each other's clothes off. These girls are aggressive. Very aggressive.

Eythor jokingly jumps on top of Josh and Natalya, humping them.

Josh laughs. Everyone does. Vala pulls Eythor off.

Vala leads Eythor out the door.

Natalya pins Josh down on the bed and straddles him. He looks over to Paxton, who is in the same position. The girls have the guys pinned down. They fuck them, hard.

The room is quiet. Everyone sleeps. Josh slips out of bed and goes into the bathroom.

Josh takes a piss. He looks out the window. He sees what he thinks is Eythor driving away in a gypsy cab with a few Russian guys.

Josh looks closer out the window, unsure of what he's seeing. He's still a little drunk. Suddenly a HAND covers his mouth from behind. It's Natalya. She licks his neck and spins him around, kissing him.

Josh wakes up, alone. He looks over at Paxton, who sleeps in bed, alone. In the bathroom Josh hears the shower running, along with the sounds of Natalya and Svetlana talking. Josh looks over at Eythor's bed. It's empty. And still unmade. No sign of Eythor.

Paxton opens his eyes, smiling.

Paxton hears something. He holds up a finger to silence Josh, smiling at the sounds of the girls in the shower.

Josh looks over at Eythor's empty bed.

About 20 people sit and eat breakfast in a dining room. The food is served buffet style, with lots of fruit, yogurt, and muesli.

Josh and Paxton scan the room for Eythor: no sign of him.

Josh and Paxton talk to a clerk at the front desk. He is about 30 years old, we have not seen him before.

A few kids watch a Russian film on the lobby t.v. The film is not subtitled.

The Desk Clerk types a name into a computer.

Paxton dials a number on his phone. He gets voice mail.

Josh writes a note for Eythor.

The front door of the hostel is locked shut for cleaning. Josh talks on his cell phone, pacing in circles. Natalya and Svetlana are in the back of a taxi. Paxton leans in the taxi, talking to them.

Svetlana gives Paxton a kiss. Josh, on his phone, waves bye to Natalya. The girls drive off in a gypsy cab.

They start to walk towards town. A girl calls after them in broken English.

KANA, the beautiful Japanese girl, grabs Paxton's sleeve. He stops. She looks pissed.

Kana shows them a picture on her phone: it's of Eythor and her friend Yuki, together. There's a message under the picture in Japanese.

They stare at the photo, very confused. We can't see where Eythor and Yuki are, just their faces and some text.

Kana nods. She's pissed, like it's Paxton and Josh's fault.

Kana doesn't quite understand. Paxton points to the phone.

Kana gets it. She nods yes. Josh confers with Paxton.

Kana yells at them in Japanese. She sits down on a bench outside the hostel.

They walk through the market in town. It looks creepier than it did yesterday. We see them walk by through hand moving POVs, as if they are being watched. Paxton types text messages to Eythor as they walk. Josh looks around.

POV from someone watching the guys from close by, moving through the market to keep up with them.

The one-eyed Slovak kid pops in front of them, startling the guys. In a few seconds they are surrounded by a gang of rough looking kids, maybe 9 or 10 years old. The tiniest of the bunch approaches the guys.

Josh gives the kid all his gum, as well as some from Paxton's jacket. The kid takes it. He nods to his friends and the gang moves on.

They see EYTHOR, or what looks like Eythor, step into the National Museum, far away across the street.

Josh and Paxton jog up the steps of a large marble building, with a banner showing the Slovakian flag, and a picture of the latest exhibition. This is the local art museum.

It's in an old, marble building, that looks like it might have been some grand palace at one point, but has since been converted into a cold, sterile museum. An elderly guard sells tickets. They buy two. They then walk across an empty foyer and wait for the same old guard selling the tickets to walk over, rip their tickets, and let them in.

There are no coats in the coat rack. The place is dead.

A giant, empty, silent room. The only sounds are the creaks of their feet on the floor. They look around for Eythor.

Nothing. They keep walking, moving through the silent wings, past sculptures and bizarre modern art pieces.

Behind them they pass by EYTHOR, in his orange jacket, who stands in the corner, staring the wall. The orange '65 Degrees North' jacket suddenly catches Josh's eye. Eythor walks into another room.

They approach the Orange jacket from behind.

Josh puts his hand on Eythor's shoulder. The guy turns around: it's not Eythor. He looks like one of those shady Eastern European cab drivers.

The Jacket man goes back to looking at the painting. Paxton studies the jacket, which is a very distinct orange. It looks worn in, like Eythor's. It has the same markings - a '66 Degrees North' logo and Icelandic writing.

The Jacket Man does not respond. He walks to another painting.

Paxton puts his arm on the guy. The guy whips around, knocking Paxton's arm away.

Two security guards come over. All three of them start talking in Slovak. Or Russian. Who knows. Not Paxton. But the guards point their sticks at Paxton, and hold them up threateningly.

Josh leads Paxton away. As they leave the room Josh sees the Jacket Man and the guards talking. Then laughing.

The guys walk down the steps in a desultory manner. They look around. Other than the mountains, all they see are smokestacks and factories for miles and miles. Paxton's phone beeps. It's a text. He stops.

CLOSE ON THE PHONE: It's a picture of Eythor's face, with the text "I go home." Eythor does not smile in the photo.

CLOSE UP: EYTHOR'S FACE.

We are in some kind of boiler room or cellar, but we can't really tell. We just see Eythor's face. He stares ahead, expressionless. We hear a phone make the NEW TEXT MESSAGE CHIME. A hand steps in front of Eythor, flipping open the phone.

The phone reads "PAXTON CELL: Where are you?????? Call us." The hand walks out of frame revealing that Eythor's head is SEVERED FROM THE REST OF HIS BODY. His corpse has been hacked up and mutilated, with his head severed clean off.

The person with the cell phone walks out a doorway, into a long, dark hallway. We don't know where we are, but it looks like the basement of some factory or closed down school. At the other end of the hall, in another dimly lit room, tied to a chair, is YUKI, Kana's friend. Yuki SCREAMS at the top of her lungs as the man slowly walks towards her, disappearing down the hallway.

When the man finally gets to the room he SLAMS the metal door shut. The sound reverberates through the dark, empty hall.

Paxton and Josh sit with Kana, anxiously watching t.v. Kana sends the picture of Eythor and Kana to Paxton's phone. Josh hears Eythor's voice mail on his cell phone and hangs up.

She points to Paxton and Josh, nodding yes.

Natalya and Svetlana come down the stairs, into the lobby. Svetlana grab's Josh's hand, trying to stir up some fun.

Natalya and Svetlana share a glance.

The girls get up and head outside.

Paxton pulls Josh close. He's pissed.

Josh nods.

Paxton mimes out a disco as best he can. She nods no.

Kana nods yes and goes back to checking her hair in the mirror.

Josh writes a note: EYTHOR, MEET US AT THE DISCO. Josh leaves the note with the desk clerk. It goes in a pile with the other notes he left throughout the day.

Paxton dances with Svetlana. She hands him a drink. He downs the whole thing. Natalya sits at a booth with Josh. She gives him a drink. He downs the whole thing. Josh's vision becomes blurry. He looks dizzy. The music begins to drown out, all we hear is blurred talking and a deep heartbeat. Through the smoke Josh sees: EYTHOR. He's in the crowd, frantically waving his arms in slow motion. Josh looks closer. Eythor waves his arms and mouths out NO! NO! GET AWAY! GET AWAY!

Natalya puts her hand on Josh's shoulder, snapping him back into reality. Eythor, of course, is not there.

Natalya kisses Josh on each cheek.

He goes downstairs. Paxton shrugs "what the hell?" Josh points to his watch, and gestures he'll see him later. Paxton shrugs again, confused, but Svetlana grabs him and kisses him.

Josh stumbles outside. He hails a cab and drives off.

Josh looks sick. Outside the lights get blurry. The driver watches Josh in the rear view mirror.

The cab driver helps Josh out of the car. Josh pays the guy and stumbles inside. He does not look well. Behind the desk he sees Vala, the Desk Girl who had sex with Eythor.

Vala comes out from behind the desk and helps Josh up the stairs.

She opens the door to Josh's room and lies him down on a bed.

Josh lies down and passes out cold on the bed in his clothes.

Vala stands in the doorway, watching him. In the darkness, we see a SECOND PAIR OF LEGS join her, staring at Josh.

Paxton sits at a table with the girls, drinking. The girls speak to each other in Russian. Paxton doesn't understand a word. He feels like a 3rd wheel. Paxton, too, appears to have a headache.

Paxton gets up and walks past the bar, where the another cab driver watches him.

Paxton sees a few doors in a tiny back hallway.

An Australian backpacker comes out of the men's room and bumps into him, turning him around.

As Paxton spins back to face the door, a busboy comes out of a door by the stairwell, right next to the Men's room door. The busboy passes by Paxton, who says "excuse me" again. Paxton then mistakenly slips out the wrong door.

Paxton suddenly finds himself in the stairwell, and by the time he turns around the door's closed. And locked.

Paxton pounds on the door.

Nobody can hear Paxton's pounding over the loud, thumping music in the disco.

Paxton sits down on the stairs, exhausted, and frustrated. He slowly sinks lower and lower against the wall, and closes his eyes. His hand opens and his bottle of beer rolls down the stairs. He's out cold.

SOUND: BODIES RUSTLING.

QUICK FLASHES:

P.O.V. from the passenger, looking out the window. The florescent street lights flying by. SOUND: AN OLD VAN DRIVING. THINGS RATTLING IN THE BACK.

P.O.V. of a car driving through the gates of an old factory. The car pulls up to a loading dock, and we tilt up to see a smoking chimney. This is the same chimney we saw from the taxi ride from the train station.

SOUND: FOOTSTEPS QUICKLY MOVING DOWN AN ECHOEY HALLWAY.

A distant scream. Hand-held POV quickly passing by a door, with a light coming through. In the room is a silhouette of a man swinging a baseball bat at someone sitting in a chair, killing them. It all happens in an instant.

SOUND: A METAL DOOR SLAMMING SHUT. CUT TO BLACK.

The room slowly comes into focus, shown through the P.O.V. of someone wearing a one-eyed hood. We pan around the room, barely able to take in where we are. The walls are brown and dirty. We look down and see a pair of bare feet cuffed together on a dirty tile floor. It's the same floor from our opening titles. We scan around the room.

There's a metal table in the room filled with instruments. Scalpels, a screwdriver, an electric drill, a knife, a wire, a chain saw. There are also several masks on the table: hoods, surgical masks. We are still through the hood's POV. He looks across the room until he sees: a figure...which is actually himself in the mirror. The hood had one eye torn out, which is the POV we are looking through.

The door opens. A SURGEON steps into the room. The surgeon wears black rubber gloves, a black apron, boots, and a surgical mask.

The surgeon pulls the hood off to reveal: IT'S JOSH IN THE CHAIR. Josh looks up at him, absolutely petrified. We get a more clear look at the room now. It's an old medical room, with a drain on the floor. The room from the opening credits.

The Surgeon walks over to the table. He goes over the various instruments. We stay on the table.

The surgeon's black rubbed gloved hand picks up a drill. We stay on the shot of the table.

We hear the DRILL REVVING, followed by Josh's SCREAMS OF AGONY. We still say on the same shot of the table. The drilling happens repeatedly, in different points on Josh's body. His screams get wilder, more horrific. He begs and pleads for mercy, but gets none. The more Josh screams, the more the man drills. Blood leaks on the floor, under the table, until the tile floor is completely filled with blood.

The drilling stops.

Josh shakes and pants, screaming, crying.

We hear WET FOOTSTEPS walking across the floor. The surgeon puts the drill back: it is now covered in blood, bone, and bits of flesh. The surgeon glides his gloved hand over the various instruments, settling on a long, metal spike. We finally see Josh: his body is covered with symmetrically drilled holes. He shakes and leaks blood. Holes are in his chest, his shoulder, even his skull. He looks dazed. He has vomited on himself. He passes out.

The surgeon stands over Josh. The Surgeon holds a smelling salt under Josh's nose, waking him up, but barely.

The Surgeon circles around Josh. He shows him the long, metal spike.

The Surgeon slowly pushes the spike into Josh. Josh SCREAMS.

The Surgeon puts down the spike. He picks up a scalpel. The Surgeon takes off his mask. It's THE DUTCH BUSINESSMAN.

The Surgeon holds the scalpel close to Josh's eye.

The Businessman holds up his hands. They are shaking.

Josh can barely eke out a scream, he's too terrified.

Josh, shaking and bleeding, nods yes.

The Businessman crouches down behind Josh's legs, as if to unlock the ankle cuffs, but instead SLASHES JOSH'S ACHILLES TENDONS WITH THE SCALPEL. Josh SCREAMS in agony.

Josh's cries of pain echo throughout the empty hallway.

The businessman, holding the bloody ankle cuffs, opens the door.

The businessman then walks away, to an adjacent room in the back of the torture room. We hear a TOILET SEAT drop down, followed by the sounds of the businessman taking a piss. Josh stares at the open door, 15 feet in front of him. He has a chance to make a break for it.

Josh, attempts to stand up and walk, but his heels split open and he stumbles, falling on his face. He slithers around on the ground like a fish out of water, soaked in his own blood.

He crawls towards the door. He gets closer. Closer. Closer. When just as he reaches the door the businessman's feet step right in front of him. He closes the door.

Josh rolls over on his back.

The businessman kneels down near Josh, examining the injury.

The businessman laughs.

He stands behind Josh, watching them both in the mirror. Josh tenses, knowing this is the end.

The man has an erection in his pants. He's looking in the mirror, watching himself torture Josh, and getting off on it. He grabs Josh's hair. Josh's eyes go wide. The man stares into Josh's eyes, absorbing Josh's fear. He raises his arm in the air, poised to slice Josh's throat. The businessman dramatically swings his arm as we:

A door KICKING OPEN, flooding a dark stairwell with light from the street.

A worker carrying a case of beer kicks Paxton, who lies in the stairwell, asleep. He wakes up, disoriented, dizzy.

Paxton gets up and walks out into the cold, windy daylight.

Paxton walks through the town, totally hung over and disoriented. He sees the outside of the disco, which is now closed. He finds a few Slovak crowns in his pocket. Paxton walks along the street, freezing. Paxton turns the corner and sees the gang of mean looking street kids beating a guy up. The guy is on the ground and they kick him in the head and throw rocks at him. Paxton ducks around a corner and avoids them.

Paxton arrives at the Hostel.

The place looks a lot quieter than it did earlier. Not many people are around, just a maid who sets up tea and cookies. The place looks clean and sterile, almost untouched.

Paxton slides his passport over to the Desk Clerk.

The desk clerk has Paxton's pack behind the desk.

Paxton sees the empty lobby.

The desk clerk hands Paxton the key.

The room is clean, spotless. Ready for a new guest. Josh's stuff is gone, too. Paxton looks around the room, in the closet, under the bed, for a sign of something. Anything. He doesn't find one.

Paxton paces nervously in the lobby. He's freshly showered. He talks on his phone.

Outside he sees Svetlana getting into a gypsy cab.

Paxton runs outside, trying to catch Svetlana.

But she drives away in the cab. She looks at Paxton briefly as the car drives by, but gives no sign of recognition.

Paxton sits down on the bench outside the hostel. He studies the two photos of Eythor: the close up, and the one Kana sent from her phone of Eythor with Yuki. Paxton studies the photo closer, more carefully. In the background of the picture he sees a smokestack.

Paxton stands on the steps of the local art museum, where he was the day before with Josh. He looks around, staring at the skyline, checking the photo on his phone.

Finally, he finds it, the smokestack. In front of a mountain. The same one in the picture of Eythor with Yuki. It looks about 30-40 miles away.

WHAM! A different gang of street kids thugs KNOCK Paxton and take his phone. They kick him a few times. He covers up his head. They run down the street and disappear in to different directions.

Paxton reaches up and grabs one by the ankle, taking him down. It's the one eyed kid. In the blink of an eye, Paxton is on top of the kid, choking him.

The kid looks up at Paxton, terrified. All the other kids have scattered. Paxton suddenly realizes what he's doing and backs off, letting the kid go. The kid runs away, coughing, holding his neck.

The police station looks like something out of a time warp. Cluttered with paperwork, telephones, old computers. Paxton talks with a sergeant, who files a report. It does not look like the most efficient operation. The Slovakian Government police wear green uniforms, are poorly paid, and can best be described as "rugged" or "shaggy."

The Police Officer hands Paxton a copy of a report.

Paxton gets up and walks out. Another police officer comes over and talks to the officer in Slovak. They are clearly talking about the case, glancing at the report, and then at Paxton. Paxton waves goodbye and leaves.

Paxton walks through the market, looking for Josh.

The whole town looks scarier now. People do not smile. They look at him like he's an outsider.

Paxton looks up and sees NATALYA walk out of a building, across an alley, in the back door of a pub. She looks almost like an apparition, walking like a zombie. Paxton walks down the dirty, garbage filled alley. Around a corner he sees a few scary looking guys huddled in a circle, smoking. They stare at him. He sees one of them has a needle in his arm. Paxton backs away, quickly.

Paxton walks around to the other side of the pub. He enters.

Paxton walks in. The place is open, but there aren't too many people there yet, as it's only about 5:00. Paxton hears talking. He sees Natalya sitting at a table with Svetlana, and a few of the cab drivers. They stop talking when they see him.

Paxton sits down next to them. Natalya almost doesn't realize he's there. She looks out of it. Both girls do. They talk to each other in Russian.

Natalya looks over at him and slowly smiles. She's fucked up on drugs. Most likely heroin.

Natalya and Svetlana start talking Russian.

The girls look at each other, a bit suspect. They talk in Russian and laugh.

The girls are a bit taken aback by his tone.

The girls talk to the driver in Russian. Paxton is totally clueless.

Natalya talks to the scarred cab driver. He nods. They get up. Svetlana does not move, too drugged out.

Paxton and Natalya ride in the Scarred Cab Driver's Town Car, far outside of town, through the factories.

Natalya goes through her purse, looking for gum. Paxton catches a glimpse of a ridiculous wad of cash in her bag, and some cigarettes.

Natalya talks to the scarred driver in Russian. He hands her a shopping bag filled with gum. She takes a piece and hands the bag back to him.

Natalya stares at Paxton, popping a piece of gum in her mouth, shaking her head disapprovingly.

Natalya talks to the driver in Russian.

Natalya stares at him, then stares out the window again.

The car drives through the gates of an old factory. Paxton looks up and sees smoke coming from the chimney. We recognize this as the exact same arrival P.O.V. that Josh saw for just a flash, but now it is in the grey, late afternoon daylight. Paxton recognizes it as the Chimney he saw in Eythor's photo.

The scarred driver parks the car next to three other town cars, parked near a loading dock entrance. He leaves the car running, and gets out and walks over to a small circle of drivers, dressed in black limousine driver suits with driver hats. The scarred driver lights a cigarette. The other drivers glance over their shoulder at Paxton and Natalya.

All the drivers leave their cars running with the heat on. Outside it's quite cold.

Natalya gets out of the car and walks to the entrance. She stands there, waiting for him. Paxton hovers by the car.

A WELL DRESSED JAPANESE MAN wearing sunglasses exits the factory. A town car driver opens the door for him. The Japanese man smiles and nods at Paxton as he passes.

The Japanese man points to the factory and gives Paxton the thumbs up.

A driver opens the door for the Japanese man, who sits in the back. Paxton watches them go. He then follows Natalya inside.

The hallway is lit with a string of repair crew lights hanging from a long, rubber line.

A middle aged security guard sits at a desk, reading a newspaper. He's dressed in a dark blue suit. He looks up at Paxton.

He waves them in. Natalya smiles at the guard. Down the hall they see light coming from a room.

Natalya starts laughing. He stops. Is this some practical joke?

Paxton continues down the hall, fed up with her bullshit. She watches him go.

Paxton walks closer towards the shaft of light spilling onto the floor. He gets nearer to the door. Closer. Closer.

SOUND: A low hum grows louder and louder, like a small airplane approaching from the distance. By the time the sound is overwhelming Paxton opens the door and sees... ...some paint. On the wall. It's red. Splattered red. Paxton realizes that it's not paint on the walls and floor. It's blood. He looks up and sees a Josh, or what's left of him, laid out on a slab, his body slashed and sewn up. The Dutch Businessman stands over Josh's open torso, sewing up organs in some kind of strange surgical experiment. Surgical clamps stick up all over Josh's corpse. The Dutch Businessman looks up and sees Paxton. Neither one of them are quite sure if they're actually seeing what they see. The businessman cocks his head, curious.

Paxton backs out into the dimly lit hallway.

Natalya stands there, laughing. Louder. Crazier. More maniacally, until her laughter fills the entire hallway

He starts stumbling towards her...

Two men come out of the darkness in the hallway and COVER PAXTON'S HEAD WITH A SACK. We hear Natalya's laugh echoes fades in the distance as the thugs drag Paxton down the hall.

IN THE DARKNESS

We stay in real time with Paxton as the guards drag him down the hallway, beating him into submission.

We hear everything Paxton hears. As he passes by a room he hears the revving of a chain saw, and someone screaming. Other people are being tortured here as well.

We see a flash P.O.V. of just his feet dragging along a corridor, or occasionally what he can see when he looks up.

OBSCURED FLASHES OF:

- Feet dragging down stairs

- A man with a strange ram's mask, pointing a bloody knife at someone in a chair, through an open door. Someone screams. - A furnace room with people loading body parts into a fire.

- The floor changing to a tile floor, when they bring Paxton into a room and set him on a chair.

Screams echo in various rooms as we move through the factory.

Then in the pitch black, we hear the men cuff Paxton's hands and feet. They hit him a few more times. The feet then stomp out of the room, slam the door, and turn out the lights.

IT IS NOW PITCH BLACK.

All we can hear is Paxton's breathing, and his cries for help.

We hear faint echoes of his screams down the hall. Nobody responds.

The hood is pulled off Paxton's head, blinding him with florescent lights. He looks up, panicked, terrified. A man in the same surgical outfit the Dutch Businessman wore stands over him. Paxton looks at a GUARD, who wears a dark blue suit, holding a rifle. Paxton looks exhausted, like he has been up all night. The guard speaks in a heavy, broken, Eastern European accent.

Paxton looks up, confused. He hesitates.

The guard pokes him with the tip of the rifle.

The surgeon looks at the guard. The guard pokes Paxton again.

The Guard starts to leave. The Surgeon grabs some tools.

The Guard shows the Surgeon Paxton's passport.

The Surgeon looks at the passport, then at Paxton, and back at the passport again. The Surgeon nods to the guard, who tucks Paxton's passport in his jacket pocket and leaves the room.

The man takes off his surgical mask. We have never seen this guy before. He looks very, very nervous. He sweats and shakes exactly the same way Josh did with the hooker in Amsterdam. The Surgeon catches his breath, calms down, and puts the surgical mask back on.

The man looks at his tray of instruments. His hands shake. He picks up a knife. He turns to Paxton. Paxton sees himself in the mirror across from him, handcuffed and foot- cuffed to the chair. He knows what's going to happen.

The man puts the knife to Paxton's throat. Paxton shakes. The man presses the blade into Paxton's throat, cutting him a little on the surface. Paxton SCREAMS IN PAIN. The man recoils, very scared. Blood runs down Paxton's shoulder like a faucet. It is a fast drip, not an arterial spray.

The man comes back towards Paxton holding the knife. He studies Paxton, searching for another spot to cut him. The main raises the knife to Paxton's throat again.

Paxton speaks quietly, in German. It is the first and only time we see subtitles.

The Surgeon THROWS down the knife into Paxton's foot, stabbing his toe. He angrily rips off his surgeon's mask and throws it on the ground in disgust as he storms out the door.

Paxton SCREAMS in agony, with the knife stuck in his foot. The man comes back half a minute later with the guard, who has a rubber ball and a roll of electrical tape. The guard stuffs the ball in Paxton's mouth and wraps the tape around his head, gagging him. Paxton breathes short, quick breaths out of his nose, which is dripping with snot and sweat. Paxton screams under the tape, but his cries are muffled. The guard leaves. The German Surgeon walks over to his table, examining his instruments. He picks up a gun, and does a few poses, acting out blasting off Paxton's head. He grabs a serrated hunting knife and slowly mimes out decapitating Paxton. The German is working out how he wants to kill him.

The German tries out a few power tools, including a power drill and ciruclar power saw. The man finally settles on his weapon of choice: the chain saw. It's an old saw, and the surgeon can't quite seem to get it started. He puts down the saw, opens the door, and calls for the guard. Paxton waits, staring at the saw, and back at the door.

A minute later the guard comes in. He patiently shows the man how to start up the chain saw, and how to rev it. Paxton watches all of this, horrified, incredulous. He can't believe this is happening. The German Surgeon thanks the guard - and gives him a tip. The guard leaves, pleased.

The German turns to Paxton revs the chainsaw to life. He brings the whirring blade close to Paxton's eye. The blade spins inches from Paxton's face, filling the room with a violent, reverberating ROAR.

Suddenly, Paxton COUGHS WILDLY. His eyes well up with tears. He starts VOMITING OUT HIS NOSE. His body spasms as he vomits inside his mouth and then proceeds to choke on his own vomit. Paxton's eyes bulge out of his head as his body jerks and spasms.

The German, panicked, puts down the chain saw. Paxton coughs and pukes as the man frantically grabs a scalpel. He does not want Paxton to die - not like this. The German cuts the surgical tape off Paxton's mouth, slicing Paxton's mouth a little.

Paxton EXPLODES a mouthful of blood and puke, and leans forward, gagging. The rubber ball gag lands on the ground in a puddle of blood and bile. The German pats Paxton on the back, helping him cough up the last of his puke. The German walks across the room, hiding his eyes, totally disgusted. He lets Paxton catch his breath. As soon as Paxton has recovered...

...the man REVS UP THE CHAIN SAW again. He holds it high over his head, and winding up the saw he charges at Paxton. Paxton closes his eyes, wincing, as the man runs faster, faster, faster, until he -

SLIPS ON THE RUBBER BALL GAG, SLIDES ON THE BLOOD AND VOMIT, AND FALLS BACKWARDS, SEVERING HIS LEG IN HALF WITH THE CHAIN SAW. The saw stays alive, revving around the room like Pac Man, eating up the floor tiles. The German is still alive, and he screams in agony, as his blood sprays everywhere, all over the room, and all over Paxton.

The horrific screams of death and the roar of the saw echo through the hallway. The guard sits at a desk in the hallway, watches a porn on a clamshell DVD player. He's not even fazed by the sounds coming from the room.

The chain saw is across the room, still alive, jammed against the leg of a table. Paxton and the German see it. They look at each other and at once start crawling their way towards it.

Using all his strength, Paxton lurches the chair forward inch by inch, while the German, quickly losing consciousness, crawls forward on his stomach. The two cripples race against each other until Paxton reaches the blade first. Paxton carefully raises his bare feet over the whirring blade and successfully SLICES the feet cuffs apart. The German crawls closer to him, and Paxton holds the guy back with his leg. The German grabs Paxton's leg and YANKS the chair out from under him. Paxton falls back - OVER THE BLADE - LANDING ON HIS HANDS ON EITHER SIDE OF THE SPINNING BLADE. The blade snaps the chain and nicks his skin, slashing his arm, but not severing his hand. The man has a large knife in his hand and swings it at Paxton.

Paxton screams and grabs the saw, swinging the blade as we

The sound of the roaring chain saw finally stops. The guard looks up from his DVD player. He hears a voice calling him from the room in German.

The guard, a bit irritated this time, pauses his porno and gets up, slowly ambling down the hall.

The guard opens the door and sees a bloody, messy corpse, sitting in the chair.

From behind the door Paxton SWINGS THE REVVING CHAIN SAW, severing the guard's head clean off. The guard's head rolls across the room. His body lies on the ground, filling any remaining dirty white tiles on the floor with deep red blood. Paxton stands there, breathing heavily. He wears the surgeon's apron, gloves, and boots. He pants, coughing, and pukes a little. His eyes well up with tears. He shakes. He crouches down, looking around at the room at what he's done. Paxton rolls the guard over and grabs his passport out of the guard's pocket. He looks in the hallway. Another guard walks down the stairs at the end of the hall. Paxton looks at the various tools on the table: scalpel, knife, gun, chain saw. He takes the gun and puts it in his pocket. He tries to put on the surgeon's mask, but the straps are broken and it will not stay on. He sees a few other options on the table: a black hood, a burlap sack. And then something curious: a dark red medieval-looking Ram's head mask made out of skull, horns, and paper mache.

Paxton, wearing the ram's head mask, apron and gloves, walks out of the room, holding a shiny machete. He hears TWO VOICES coming down the stairs RIGHT BEHIND HIM. Paxton DUCKS into a door.

We can hear the guards' footsteps getting closer and closer to the door. Paxton nervously holds the machete, poised to strike. He looks around and sees all kinds of weapons hanging from the wall: saws, guns, knives, anything you can find in a hardware store that would kill someone.

He backs up, slowly, slowly, until he bumps into a PILE OF A FEW BODIES ON A DOLLY. Paxton sees the mutilated remains of his friends Josh and Eythor on the top of the pile. He covers his mouth to hold in his vomit.

The guards are right outside the room, talking and laughing. The handle turns. They are still talking to each other. One of them opens the door. This guard wears a white apron like a butcher, along with white butcher's pants. He stands in the doorway, talking to a guard, a cigarette hanging out of his mouth.

The butcher walks into the room. We follow him inside - but Paxton is gone!

The butcher steps around to the other side of the dolly and wheels it out of the room. As the bodies go by we see PAXTON hiding under the bodies of Josh and Eythor.

From Paxton's low POV we see him going down the hallway. He keeps his eyes closed but peeks. From his low, moving POV we see:

A blood spattered room. God knows what went on in here Suddenly a HOSE SPRAY jets across the doorway, onto the wall. Paxton sees a cleaner spraying down the walls with an industrial hose.

The dolly continues down the hall, past a few guards in blue suits who escort man dressed in the butcher's outfit down the hall. The dolly goes into an elevator.

The elevator goes down a level to a sub-basement. It's a large freight elevator. We can only see what Paxton sees - the lights on illuminating the floor, the butcher's feet, his hand with the burning cigarette right near Paxton's face. The elevator STOPS and the doors OPEN. The man starts to wheel the dolly when an ARM RIGHT UNDER PAXTON falls out, jamming in the wheel. Paxton closes his eyes.

The butcher squats down by Paxton's head...but doesn't notice anything wrong. He grabs the arm and stuffs it back under Paxton. The arm belongs to what remains of YUKI, the Japanese girl. The man pushes the dolly and the body shuffles so Paxton's vision is TOTALLY OBSCURED.

We can barely see anything through the pile of bodies, but we are moving into a room. We hear the sounds of a BURNING GAS FURNACE.

The butcher opens up the furnace door. We see Paxton's eye - it's fucking hot in there. He's starting to sweat. His clothes are turning a little brown.

The butcher grabs Josh and lies him face down on a table. Josh's head is just above where Paxton's eye level is, so Paxton can see the lifeless expression on Josh's corpse. The butcher picks up a large meat cleaver and begins to HACK OFF JOSH'S LEG. The butcher then throws Josh's leg into the small opening of the furnace. It's obviously too small to throw a body in, so the man must do it piece by piece.

The butcher hacks a bit more into Josh, chopping Josh into smaller pieces. Josh's dead eyes stare at Paxton the whole time.

Paxton lies there, burning, sweating, waiting to be next.

The butcher finishes with Josh, and then picks up Eythor. Paxton now lies on top of the pile of bodies, covered in the blood of his friends.

The butcher starts to hack through Eythor, but is having a bit of trouble. He picks up a CIRCULAR POWER SAW and turns it on, easily sawing Eythor apart. More blood splatters on Paxton.

The man then puts down the circular power saw and leaves the room. Paxton waits there for a second, and then slooooooooowly sits up. He surveys the different butcher tools on the table. he then hears the butcher coming back and flops back down, playing dead.

The butcher returns with a large iron shovel, which he uses to stoke the body parts in the furnace.

The butcher then carves up up the last of Eythor and throws him into the furnace. He turns around to grab Paxton but instead sees a SLEDGE HAMMER BELT HIM IN THE FACE. The man falls down, unconscious. Blood runs down his head, onto his white apron. Paxton wipes the blood off of his face, grabs a meat cleaver, and leaves.

Paxton steps into the hallway. Wherever he goes he leaves bloody footprints. He looks around for the stairs but doesn't see it. Suddenly he hears the ELEVATOR COMING. He freezes. There's nowhere to move. The elevator doors open...

...and it's empty. Paxton steps inside.

Paxton looks at the buttons, deciding which to push. Suddenly the elevator starts GOING UP. Sub basement 4...3...2...

Paxton clutches the meat cleaver tighter.

THE ELEVATOR STOPS. THE DOORS OPEN.

A GUARD - in a blue suit - holding a machine gun is about to step in when someone calls him. He looks away, momentarily distracted. He has not yet looked inside the elevator.

Paxton squishes as far to the side as he can, hiding his face.

In the hallway we hear HORRIBLE SCREAMS OF DEATH. The guard doesn't even flinch, it's like he doesn't notice it. Paxton peeks up for a second and can see a room with a light on down the hall. He faintly hears the cries of someone begging for mercy in a foreign language, followed by more screams.

The guard still talks to someone who Paxton can't see. Paxton cautiously pushes the DOOR CLOSE button, or what he thinks is the door close button, since it's written in Slovak.

The doors start to close. Just as they are about to shut the guard turns and SEES PAXTON.

Paxton hides his face as the elevator goes up. It stops on the 2nd floor.

The elevator doors open. Paxton sees TWO GUARDS standing outside a room. They don't notice him.

This floor, unlike the others, looks much cleaner and nicer, and was probably used for corporate offices at one point. Paxton quietly slips out of the elevator and into the first doorway he sees. The two guards, wearing dark blue suits, walk past Paxton's room. They see the bloody footprints leading up to the closed door.

They keep walking by. We follow the bloody footprints to a door...

Paxton stands behind the door, waiting for the guards pass. Once they're gone he looks around the room. It's a very nice room filled with hotel bathroom amenities. There's a bathroom with a shower, a sink, and a lot of towels. There's even a coffee set with fresh brewed coffee, tea, and cookies. Suddenly it looks like he's in a fancy hotel room. There's even classical music playing on a C.D. player.

Paxton sees a grey business suit laid out on the bed. A jacket, hat, scarf and gloves are on the coat rack.

Paxton looks at the window. A few well dressed guards wait by the cars outside. With them is a POLICE CAR. The officer who took down Paxton's report stands with them, joking around and sharing a cigarette.

The drivers leave their cars running, with the heat on. Outside it's painfully cold.

Paxton looks around the room and sees the bathroom and the clean clothes laid out on the bed.

A second guard walks down the hall near the room in the basement where Paxton was tortured. He sees the empty security guard's chair, and walks over to the torture the room. The door is closed. He hears the WHIRRRRR of the chain saw coming from inside. The man looks through the dirty, opaque window, but it's covered with blood.

The guard then walks away.

Paxton is now cleaned up - not showered, but clean enough, and wearing the suit, which presumably belonged to the German. He puts on the hat, gloves, and scarf, hiding his face completely. He then finds something in the jacket.

A wad of cash. And a business card:

"Elite Hunting. The ultimate thrill. The ultimate kill." A Russian e-mail address is on the card, along with some numbers scribbled down: $5,000 Rsn, $10,000 Eur, $25,000Amr. The $25,000Amr is circled.

Behind him, A MAN IN A SURGEON'S OUTFIT APPEARS IN SILHOUETTE FROM ANOTHER DOORWAY. HE SLOWLY APPROACHES PAXTON FROM BEHIND!!!!

Paxton turns around and sees the man, startled.

The client is AMERICAN. The man looks at himself in a mirror. He's probably about 40 years old.

The client sees Paxton's bloody clothes on the floor.

Paxton turns to leave. The American grabs Paxton's arm.

Paxton looks at him, shocked.

Paxton just stares at him, nodding.

The guy rolls up his glove and shows Paxton a tattoo of a bloodhound in the underside of his forearm. It's the same one Josh saw on the Dutch Businessman.

The American starts to tug at Paxton's sleeve.

Suddenly The Guards KNOCK on the door.

The American leaves. Paxton hears him in the hallway.

Paxton listens to the man yelling as he disappears down the hallway. Once they're gone, he slips out the door.

The second guard stands near the room where Paxton escaped from, by the guard's desk. The porn film plays on the clamshell DVD player. The first guard is nowhere to be seen. The second guard flips the DVD player shut.

The second guard walks down the hall, towards Paxton's room. He opens the door to find - THE FIRST GUARD, decapitated, along with the dead German. The dead German has the chain saw in his hands, making it look like he killed the guard. The second guard is not fooled, and knows something went wrong.

Paxton watches the Russian guards smoke, hiding in the shadows. The Police Officer drives away. He sees a town car with the keys inside. A Russian guard calls the town car drivers over to talk to them. Paxton sees his chance. There's a town car out front, running. The keys are in the engine.

Paxton steps out into the open air. The guards are probably 40 feet away. If they looked up they would clearly see him. Paxton walks to the car in broad daylight. He nearly reaches it when suddenly he hears a SCREAM. Only this time it's a GIRL SCREAMING.

Paxton freezes. The screams get louder, and more horrific. Paxton takes another step towards the car - when he hears the girl scream AGAIN. We have heard this voice before... Paxton looks at the car, then back at the factory. Then at the car. Tortured, he finally turns and goes back inside.

Paxton follows the screams to a room where he sees -

THE AMERICAN CLIENT, torturing KANA. Her whole face has been burned with a blowtorch. One eye hangs out. The guy looks up at Paxton, annoyed.

Paxton closes the door.

BLAM! Paxton SHOOTS THE AMERICAN IN THE HEAD at point blank range. The deafening sound reverberates in the small room.

Kana cries, shaking, in total shock. Paxton shoots the handcuffs free.

The American's body MOVES. Paxton fires again. The gun is empty. The man shakes on the ground, slowly dying. Paxton puts his coat around the scantily clad, bloody, burned girl.

Her eye still hangs out of its socket. Paxton helps push it back in. The eye falls out again, hanging by some tendons. Kana SCREAMS WILDLY.

Paxton grabs a scalpel and CUTS THE EYE FREE.

A security guard hears the girl screaming from the outside. He talks with some other guards. They continue walking down the hall, more purposefully this time.

The guards stand around smoking. In the background, behind them, far in the distance, Paxton leads Kana into a car and drives away. The guards turn around, caught off guard.

They chase after Paxton on foot, to their cars.

Paxton floors it, speeding out of the factory gates and onto the highway. The smokestack billows in the background with the burning bodies.

Paxton drives the car, fast. There's pretty much one road. Kana, in shock, covers her face with her hands, shaking.

Kana looks up at him, in total shock. She starts SCREAMING.

The girl SCREAMS more and tries to open the door.

The girl screams louder, with her face in her hands.

Next to the girl, on the seat, he sees the shopping bag full of bubble gum: they're in the scarred cab driver's car.

Paxton looks up in the rear view mirror: the other car is in sight. He floors it.

Paxton passes a sign with Kilometer markers for the town. There's a marker saying the train station is 20 kilometers farther, but Paxton must drive through the village to get there.

Paxton drives up the same stretch he did when he first arrived in the village. He tries to lay low.

Kana, meanwhile, has passed out. Paxton slides her body a bit lower, so people can't see her in the window. He can't speed too fast, but he drives past taxi drivers, who look at his town car, a bit suspicious. Paxton stops at a light. A group of kids cross in front of him. Walking right behind them is NATALYA. She walks right in front of Paxton's car!!!!

Paxton looks down, trying to hide his eyes. Natalya turns and waves to someone. SVETLANA catches up to her, along with ALEX - THE GUY THEY MET IN AMSTERDAM.

Suddenly the OTHER TOWN CAR approaches from behind in the rear view. He looks in front of him - NATALYA, SVETLANA AND ALEX walk, when Natalya DROPS HER PHONE. She bends down to pick it up.

Paxton looks in the rear view. The other car is getting closer.

Natalya pops up and Paxton RUNS THE RED LIGHT, CROSSING OVER A LANE, and drives into an alley. She cusses him out as he drives away, not realizing who it is she's yelling at.

In the middle of the alley Paxton sees THE GANG OF 10 YEAR OLD KIDS right in the middle of the road. He stops his car. They walk towards the him, holding pipes, bottles, and bricks.

Paxton looks at Kana: she's unconscious. The tiny lead kid, who Josh gave his gum to, approaches the window, staring at Paxton. Paxton looks around, for a weapon, anything. On the floor he sees: the shopping bag filled with bubble gum.

The town car trailing Paxton turns into the alley. As the car approaches, the security guard in the town car see the gang of kids in the middle of the road.

The town car stops, honking. The kids don't move. The driver gets out.

The kids look up at him, and don't move.

The other thug gets out of the driver's seat, waving a gun.

Suddenly, a BRICK smashes onto the back windshield, startling the Russian thugs. Then another one. Then another one. The bricks sail down from the sky. The guys turn around and FIRE at a building, where kids throw bricks at them from the rooftop.

Before the guys know what to do bricks rain down on them, hitting both of them in the head. The guys fall to the ground.

The gang of kids in the street all grab bricks and rocks and throw them at the gangsters. The thugs lie on the ground, unconscious.

The gang of kids beat the thugs to death with bricks. They jump up and down on the town car, victoriously smashing it.

The tiny lead kid watches from the sidelines, blowing bubble gum. A friend runs up to the tiny leader, holding a bloody brick, and the tiny leader hands him a piece of gum. The friend pops it in his mouth and runs back to the fight.

Paxton drives as fast as he can along a two lane, dirty highway. He sees a sign for the train station, but before it, a road block. Police cars have blocked off the road, checking passports of every driver who passes through to the train station.

Paxton slows down. Kana stares down at the floor in shock.

She starts to cry and slinks down in the seat.

Paxton slows down. He is the next car in line to be checked.

The police officers check the passport of the driver in front of Paxton. The police show the passport to THE SCARRED CAB DRIVER, who stands with them.

The driver leans out the window, gesturing that he's irritated that he's going to miss his train. His two kids, maybe 8 and 10, sit in the car with him. The scarred cab driver starts jawing at the guy. They get into it a little. The scarred cab driver grabs the guy by his shirt, roughing him up. The guy holds up his arms innocently, apologizing. Paxton watches, horrified.

The cops let the guy go, and move the car along. The policeman turns to Paxton, and walks towards his car. The police officer gestures him to move forward with his club. Cars start HONKING AT PAXTON. The car doesn't move.

The police officer walks over to the window and we spin around to reveal that... PAXTON AND THE KANA ARE GONE. The policeman looks up, and sees nothing but the woods and a long, long line of cars.

Paxton and Kana run through the woods, coming up to a fence by the train station. They crawl through a hole in the fence and approach the station.

Police and Russian mafia are everywhere, on every platform, watching the entrance to every train.

Kana looks around, terrified. She follows closely behind Paxton, clinging to him.

Paxton sees a train getting ready to leave, but there are too many mafia guys and police officers watching. Paxton and Kana duck back, near an office.

Paxton slowly walks forward, looking for an opening. The Kana suddenly stops - something has caught her eye: IT'S HER REFLECTION, in the glass. This is the first time she's seen herself burned and mutilated. She stops dead in her tracks and stares closer at her reflection in horror. Her burned skin. Her missing eye. Her once beautiful face mutilated beyond repair.

Kana walks past Paxton, out onto the platform like a zombie, in the open.

She looks back at Paxton and points to an outbound train waiting to go. An incoming train approaches the station. People stand up, getting ready to board it.

But Kana keeps walking. Paxton looks at the departing train, and the policemen and mafia guys guarding it. When he looks back at the platform KANA IS GONE.

The incoming train thunders into the station. Paxton hears a crowd GASP IN HORROR, AS KANA RUNS AND THROWS HERSELF IN FRONT OF THE INCOMING TRAIN.

The whole station screams. Blood splatters everywhere, causing a massive diversion. EVERYONE runs over to see what happened, even the Russian mafia guys. Paxton uses this opportunity to run ONTO THE DEPARTING TRAIN.

Paxton hides in the bathroom, locking the door. Outside he can hear people screaming and crying, and yelling to each other in Czech and Russian.

He stays in the room until the train starts to move. He sits there, holding himself up, crying, shaking. After a few minutes he opens the door. Paxton looks outside: it's just landscape speeding by. He looks around the train car: no mafia guys or police officers appear to be anywhere.

Paxton sits down in a seat in an open car, which holds about 30-40 passengers. He closes his eyes, hiding his face in his hat and scarf.

Suddenly he hears a voice. In the aisle he sees a hand, talking to a man with the food cart.

Paxton can't believe it. He knows that voice. It's the Dutch business man.

Paxton gets up. He walks down the aisle, approaching the seat...

And there he is. The one who killed Josh, and probably Eythor, sitting there, eating lunch with his hands. The Dutch Businessman.

VARIOUS IMAGES FLASH - The businessman on the train, telling the guys "You can pay to do anything. A-ny-thing." - The businessman standing over Josh's corpse, cocking his head like a curious dog.

- The Hunting business card with the $25,000 Amr. circled.

The businessman looks up from his food, feeling like someone's watching him... but Paxton is gone.

Paxton catches his breath in the bathroom. He can't believe this guy's here. Paxton pulls the scalpel from his pocket and puts it up his sleeve.

The train stops at a major metropolitan station in central Europe. The man steps off the train. Paxton follows close behind.

We stay in Paxton's POV as the man walks through the crowd. Paxton gets the scalpel ready. He's going to stab the man, right there, in front of everyone. Paxton's possessed. When from the crowd he hears a voice.

The businessman is greeted by an adorable little girl, who runs over to him and gives him a big hug. She's the little girl whose picture he showed to the guys. She looks adorable, in a little pea coat and yellow scarf. The Dutch businessman picks her up and twirls her around, smothering her in kisses. He hands her a teddy bear, much to her delight.

A Limo Driver meets them and takes their bags. They talk in Dutch. The man gestures that he needs to use the bathroom.

Paxton watches, shocked. The girl hugging her father makes eye contact with Paxton. He turns away, hiding his eyes. Paxton mills around, trying to act like he's going somewhere or looking for someone, while never taking his eyes off the businessman.

The driver walks towards the parked limo with the bags, as the Dutch business man and his daughter head for the bathrooms. Paxton follows them, but not too close.

The little girl needs to use the bathroom, which is adjacent to the men's room. The father tries to go in with her, but she pushes him away, saying she's a big girl, and she can go by herself.

The businessman kisses the girl and watches her go into the bathroom, teddy bear in hand. The businessman then goes into the men's room.

We linger back, in Paxton's P.O.V., as the man goes into the Men's room. We follow him through the doorway, into the bathroom, past the sink, to a line of stalls, until we are standing right outside the stall where he sits.

We stay on the door for a loooong beat.

The Dutch businessman sits on the toilet. He looks up at the door. Any second we feel this thing could kick open. It doesn't.

We see the footsteps of someone getting into the stall next to him. We don't see who it is. We just see the shoes. The Dutch businessman takes his cell phone out of his pocket. He dials a number, but accidentally drops his phone. It bounces on the floor and slides into the stall next to him.

After a looooooong beat, a black, gloved hand slides the phone back.

The Dutch businessman exits the stall a moment later, and washes his hands at the sink. We see the other stall door open. A pair of black shoes, exactly the same ones that Paxton took from the changing room, exit the stall. We stay with the feet, low to the ground, as they slowly walk towards the sink, approaching the businessman.

We move up, past the legs, past the coat, above the sink. In the mirror, we see a close up of the businessman. The background slowly racks into to focus to reveal that right behind him is -

ANOTHER BUSINESSMAN. Someone we've never met, who leans into the sink next to the Dutch businessman, to wash his hands. They nod hello to each other.

The Dutch businessman dries his hands on a towel and exits.

The Dutch businessman stands by the entrance to the women's room, waiting for his daughter.

The door opens and a woman exits. The businessman waits for half a minute longer. Nothing happens. A older woman exits, dragging her suitcase with her.

The older woman shrugs and keeps walking.

The businessman opens the door, and calls in.

He steps inside, as a pretty woman exits.

The businessman steps inside, a bit embarrassed.

No one's in there. He slowly walks down the stalls, lightly pushing the doors open.

He opens another one. And another. And another. No one's in there. He finally comes to the last stall, and pushes the door open to find -

HER TEDDY BEAR. Sitting on top of the toilet.

The Dutch Businessman looks around, panicked.

He grabs people and tries to describe her. They haven't seen her. He looks around at the trains leaving. The taxis taking off.

His limo driver waits for him. She's not with him either. The man screams for his daughter, panicking. He grabs a police officer, rambling about his missing girl, gesturing and pointing wildly.

A taxi pulls up by the curb. We see two feet get out. A gloved hand tosses a bloody yellow scarf into the trash, followed by the black gloves. We move up and see Paxton walk into the airport terminal.

The police search all over for the girl. Cops are everywhere.

The Dutch businessman cries on the ground, in agony, clutching the teddy bear.

A few detectives can't seem to find the words to console him.

The businessman sits in the same position, with the teddy bear in his hands. His driver urges him to leave. He's still crying, in shock. He won't go home. The police still interview people.

The businessman sits alone in the empty train station, in the same position, crying with the stuffed animal.

Paxton sits on a plane, towards the back. A stewardess offers him a beverage.

She hands him the water. He takes a sip.

Paxton closes his eyes, trying to get some sleep. A figure squeezes next past him, getting to her seat. We can't see the person, she's just a blur of clothing.

Paxton opens his eyes and next to him sees -

THE BUSINESSMAN'S DAUGHTER, WITH HER THROAT SLIT FROM EAR TO EAR, SMILING AT HIM. SHE SMILES WITH ALL HER TEETH SHOWING AND HER EYES WIDE OPEN.

PAXTON SCREAMS.

The Stewardess shakes him. He wakes up. He was dreaming. He looks next to him and sees a man, who he has woken up. In fact, he has woken up a lot of people on the plane, all of whom stare at him, aggravated.

Paxton is anything but. He leans back in his seat, too afraid to close his eyes.
