While Ben and David talk at gunpoint in the elevator, stopped between floors, Charlie Eppes tries a number of times to explain the "Chinese Box" theory to the agents dealing with the hostage situation. Meanwhile, the agents discover that Ben's seemingly paranoid story that he has been under surveillance turns out to be true. When agents try to quickly move and open the elevator, Ben manages to take David's pistol away and keep the elevator closed. Charlie convinces Don Eppes to let David call the shots to resolve this situation by showing Don the "Poison Cookie" game, implying that this also relates to the "Chinese Box" problem. Ben gives David his pistol back and tries to get David to shoot him when he decides there's no way out of this situation.
