In a basement, Linda is murdered by a man wearing a plague doctor costume with a power drill.

Roy wakes up and begins to search the hotel for Taylor, who is on the roof along with the boys, while being accompanied by Kevin.

Roy finds Elaine's body and teams up with retired police officer Bernard Davidson to figure out what's going on; leaving Kevin in a locked hotel room, they witness the players commit increasingly violent murders, all of which are live-streamed via the cameras and are watched by audience members bidding on the players.

Bernard sneaks into Lockwood's control room, revealing himself to be a retired player who wanted to win the game his own way.
