13 Sins Page #3

Synopsis: Elliot Brindle is a bright, meek salesman, drowning in debt - and desperate as he's about to marry the love of his life. Upon receiving a phone call informing him that he's on a hidden camera game show where he must execute 13 tasks to receive a sum total cash prize of $6.2M, Elliot dismissively follows through with his first two instructions: swat the fly that is currently bothering him, then eat the fly. With thousands of dollars suddenly appearing in his bank account, Elliot remains skeptical, though comforted by the knowledge that he can stop playing at anytime if only to lose every penny that he's won. Trapped into the horrors manipulated by unseen spectators, Elliot's need to complete the game escalates as the tasks grow more extreme, to a devastating point of no return.

Well done. You have

completed challenge two.

$3,622 has been credited

to your Nola bank account.

Jesus. You're watching me now?

You can have your privacy

back right now, if you like.

But I must tell you, great

wealth is within your grasp.

Thirty-six hours from now,

you can be a very rich man.

All you have to do is

complete 13 challenges.

You've already completed

two, so only 11 more to go.

Please make sure you are

alone, entirely alone,

as I relate to you the rules.

There are 11 more challenges.

For each one you complete, the

cash prizes will grow in value.

If you complete challenge 13, you

will claim a life-changing fortune.

Our last winner took

home 6.2 million.

Six point two million dollars?

If you fail to

complete a challenge,

the game will end and you

will lose everything,

including any money you

have won to that point.

There are two other

ways the game can end.

One, tell anyone you

are playing the game.

Two, attempt to contact or in any

way interfere with the game.

- Why me?

- Everything will be revealed to you

at the appropriate time.

If you understand the rules

and wish to continue,

please press one to

register your entry.

- Otherwise, press two, end the game.

- El?

Mr. Brindle?

Did you just slam the

door in my face?

No.

- Congratulations, Elliot Brindle.

- Elliot...

You are now a

registered contestant.

Now, please, face forward and say,

"I will dance with a golden toad."

- I will dance with a golden toad.

- Excellent!

Get a good night's sleep,

and in the morning,

be sure to wear a comfortable

pair of walking shoes.

Who was that?

- It's a surprise.

- Hm.

Everything will be revealed to

you at the appropriate time.

OK. Mm-hm.

Now, back to bed.

You know, when Shelby was little...

Mom!

She used to always go on about

the wedding she was gonna have,

and it always got bigger.

By the time she was 12,

she was riding in at the head

of a parade of elephants...

- attended by six eunuchs!

- I've since amended that.

Give me one second.

- Hello?

- Good morning, Mr. Brindle.

This is challenge three of 13.

For $5,000, make a child cry.

- What?

- You have five minutes.

- What?

- We wish you luck.

Elliot?

- Everything OK?

- Yeah.

- And now I gotta urinate.

- Right.

I'll just post it on Facebook.

We can put out a proper

press release later.

Hey...

- Your mommy doesn't love you.

- Yes, she does.

They don't want to let you know,

but the man from the orphanage

is coming to take you away.

- That's not true.

- Yes, it is.

That's what they're

talking about right now.

It's because of what you did.

Mommy! Mommy!

I'm so sorry!

- What's the matter?

- What's wrong, sweetie?
