Gast,

we have captured their attention...

now we're just working on

getting our message across.

So just rest... relax...

we have much more

collaboration to do...

much more.

Too bad...

Eliott Gast...

I thought we would remain

civil to one another.

Eliott! Open the door right now!

I didn't do anything!

I said open this door!

You cannot stay in there forever...

I am... Eliott Gast...

I am Eliott Gast... am...

Are you feeling better?

I understand,

it must hurt you to speak.

You understand nothing.

What do you mean?

If you really understood

you wouldn't allow them to continue.

Audio off...

audio off.

Oui.

I must speak quickly,

please understand...

while I believe in our cause...

I do not agree with their methods.

I must keep my opinions to myself.

A lot of good that does me.

I will help you M. Gast...

believe me...

What's going on?

I ask that the audio remain on

at all times unless I say otherwise.

We were discussing

his medical condition.

I just wanted a few moments

of privacy.

Privacy?

Let me explain...

we're not just watching you

Eliott Gast...

we are broadcasting you to the world.

You're like a celebrity...

an online hostage.

Sustain interest will generate

more financial contribution for us...

In the future all conversations

must be recorded...

understand?

Oui.

Hey kid! What you doing here?

Hey!

Get away from my little brother.

I can't leave you alone for a minute.

I didn't do anything to them.

Doesn't matter. Being innocent never

meant you wouldn't get beat up.

I have nothing to do

with any conspiracy.

I'm an economist

for IBIS and nothing else.

IBIS is your country's economic CIA.

My work has nothing to do

with politics.

Your denials are annoying me more and more!

Perhaps the time has come to hurt you again.

Anyway...

we are letting the people

decide what lies ahead.

This is being done in a

truly democratic fashion.

We've put forward the evidence

to the world and asked them to judge you...

for a price of course.

How much have you raised so far?

The money's not important...

what is truly interesting is

how the people are voting...

and the votes say we should go ahead.

Hasn't anyone voted

to have me released?

Of course...

but they are less vocal.

Now you know what it feels like

to be in the minority Eliott Gast...

to be controlled by the cruel wishes of the

majority in the same way as the Basques...

the Flemish...

the Irish...

the Iraqis, the Kurds...

the Tibetans, the Aborigines,

the Native Americans...

think about that.

Showtime Eliott Gast!

Scream then...

More action means more money...

and more money means you get released

sooner- are you making the connection?
