(SHOUTS) He wanted us

to kill each other?

Panicking is not gonna

help anybody, Agnes.

Calm down, it's okay.

Anything?

No. Nothing.

Calmly, we need to

evacuate the floor.

Mikey, come on.

It's a joke, man.

Yeah, probably, yeah.

But still.

Okay.

Break time.

Hey, let's not take

the elevator, okay?

Let's use the stairs.

Why?

It's less risky.

We're all gonna die.

(CHUCKLING)

Hey,

where you going?

(BEEPS)

(GASPING)

WOMAN:
What was that?

What's that noise?

Just go.

Head on down, okay?

Mike, come on.

I'll be right there.

Hey, are you

trying the police?

Yeah. Reception's

usually fine here.

What in bloody hell?

(GRUNTING)

VINCE:
Wendell!

Wendell? Wendell,

you're gonna break your foot.

(ALL CLAMORING)

No! How is this connected to the

security check this morning?

I don't know, sir!

God damn it!

(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)

I just validate, okay?

Hey, Bud.

What do you think, Mikey?

What's this all about?

I don't know. You think you

got a way to get through it?

Blowtorch could do the job,

but I don't know how thick it is.

It could take a while.

What if we try cutting through

one of the walls first?

Wouldn't it be easier to

try to get through cement

than get through whatever that is?

No, no, no.

This metal surrounds

the entire building.

So the whole building's covered?

Yeah.

It's worth a shot, though, right?

The blowtorch?

It's worth a try.

I'll make a call.

Hey, where you guys going?

Roof. See if we can get

someone's attention.

Got anything?

Still nothing.

Thought we'd get a shot here

in the lobby, but...

Can you guys

stick around for me?

Oh, that's great. Like I didn't

already feel trapped in this job.

Hey, listen up,

everybody, okay?

I'm Barry Norris, the COO here,

for people who don't know.

Listen,

I'm aware that

this is a very...

Hell, to say the least,

a very strange situation here.

But I don't believe

there's any cause for panic.

All right? We're still trying to figure

out exactly what the situation is,

but I'm certain there's

a rational explanation.

This is

a government building.

We think maybe somebody

put precautions in place

in case of

a military event.

Obviously these walls.

Now, someone has clearly

discovered this feature,

and they're having

a little fun at our expense.

Okay?

Whoever's doing this, the object

is to get all of you upset.

So let's not play

into that, okay?

Let's just remain calm,

chill out,

and take a few minutes

to figure out

exactly what's happening,

okay?

So, thank you.

I'm gonna go work on that.

And I'll circle back

to you as soon as I can.

Thanks, everybody.

So, someone's just

taking the piss. Right?

(COUGHS)
