Are you with us or not?

Sweet Pea, take break.

Yeah.

Babydoll.

Come over here.

Come, come.

Let me look at you.

Hm.

You seem fit enough.

I'm going to play you some music, okay?

I want you to just relax. Feel the music.

Open your heart to it. Let it in.

And when you are ready...

...I want you to dance.

STOPS]

If you do not dance,

you have no purpose.

And we don't keep things here

that have no purpose.

You see, your fight for survival

starts right now.

You don't want to be judged?

You won't be.

You don't think you're strong enough?

You are.

You're afraid. Don't be.

You have all the weapons you need.

Now fight.

Again.

Stand up

You've got to manage

Hello?

- Excuse me, could you help me? I'm...

Shoes.

I'm sorry?

Your shoes.

You're tracking snow everywhere.

Oh, I'm sorry. Should I take them off?

That time has passed.

What can I do for you?

Nothing. I just...

Let me ask it another way:

What are you looking for?

A way out, I guess.

You guess?

No, l...

I know.

I need to get out of here.

Freedom.

That wasn't so hard, was it?

I'm going to help you to be free.

What do I have to do?

These are your weapons.

When you take them,

you begin your journey.

Your journey to freedom.

You will need five items for this journey.

The first is a map.

Then fire, a knife and a key.

You said five things.

The fifth thing is a mystery.

It is the reason. It is the goal.

It will be a deep sacrifice

and a perfect victory.

Only you can find it.

And if you do...

...it will set you free.

Oh, and one more thing:

Defend yourself.

What was that?

Seriously, you're gonna have to

teach me how to dance like that.

That was crazy.

That was so amazing. I'm, like, shaking.

I've never seen Madame Gorski

clap like that before.

Well, get over it.

It's nearly lights out.

She's not easily impressed.

She wasn't impressed.

All that gyrating and moaning.

The dance should be

more than just titillation.

Mine's personal. It says who I am.

What the heck does yours say?

It says I'm gonna escape from here.

That I'm gonna be free.

Well, send me a postcard from paradise.

Are you really gonna try to escape?

Yeah. Before the High Roller comes.

- Can I come?

- Me too.

- Yeah, of course.

- You're not going anywhere, Rocket.

I'm gonna do what I wanna do.

No one's ever escaped from here.

You know that.

Yeah. You know, the last three girls

that tried died.

And the same thing'll happen

to the next fool.

Look, why don't you just

listen to my plan?

Don't wanna hear your plan, okay?

None of us do.

Now, let's get ready, girls.

Rehearsal in 15 minutes.

We're not helping Baby.

- Am I clear?

- What if it's a good plan?
