That's so offensive.

That's so racist.

You're such a racist.

I'm not, I'm not.

Well, we can play a game.

Yeah.

What do you want to play?

That's a good idea.

It's called Murder in the Dark.

That's so fun.

So for those who

haven't played before.

one person is going

to be the killer,

and we all walk around in

the dark shaking hands.

And then the killer marks his

victims by pressing a finger

into the palm of the hand.

And the point of the game is

to figure out who the killer

is before he can kill you.

And if I'm the killer, you

should know that I'm very good,

and you're all going to die.

No, that's not it.

OK, sorry.

Let's do this.

3, 4.

And if you have the black

cross, then you're the killer.

OK, we can go everywhere.

You ready?

All right, go.

[scream]

[laughter]

Turn on the lights.

Turn on the lights.

There has been a murder.

Which one of you

bastards killed me, huh?

It was you.

It must've been

somebody over there.

Maybe we should do a

second run right away.

Yeah.

'Cause we just were--

OK, let's do it again.

So let's just go back again.

Another round.

Lights off, lights off.

Turn off the lights.

Hey, lights off.

[gagging]

Have we learned nothing?

Who killed Lily?

[laughter]

All right.

My condolences.

It has to be Matthew.

No.

What?

Look at his position.

Wait, you were there too.

No, hold on, hold on.

You were right there.

No, she died right here.

[chatting]

First guy to talk.

Yeah, first guy

to talk, so sure.

OK, everyone who thinks Solo is

the murderer, raise your hands.

Uh-- I'm sorry.

I am not the killer.

Oh.

Told you.

Oh, well.

OK, next round begins now.

Lights off.

Hey, everybody, pay

closer attention.

We don't wanna lynch

another innocent person.

Hey, let's get outta here.

Lights off, lights off.

Sorry, Solo.

[rocks clattering]

Oof, sorry.

Sorry.

[groaning]

Sorry.

Somebody's dying.

[gasp]

Lights on, lights on.

[groaning]

[laughter]

Well, that only

leaves five of us.

Taylor?

Where were you guys?

We were playing.

Kevin, where were you?

I haven't seen you.

How obvious to judge

the hitchhiker, really?

It's so easy.

So?

Why is it not the hitchhiker?

I think it's the person

next to the hitchhiker.

She's being very quiet.

Oh, I can tell.

That is pure guilt.

I don't know.

Look at your face.

You look so guilty.

You look so guilty.

You both look guilty.

I didn't do it.

Oh, that's a guilty look.

That, I can vouch for.

Yeah.

- Who's gonna vote for Taylor?

- OK, OK.

My votes up.

So did you do it?

I can bank on it.

Sorry, sweetie.

Was it you?

Oh my god, it was.

Nope.

[gasp]

Sorry.

Luca, we play again?

Not many left.

I'm gonna pay for that one.
