The red light comes on and the doors open, signaling the end of the experiment. Travis proceeds to brutally beat Barris, as the siren finally blares. Barris abruptly pulls away, shocked at his actions before he is tackled to the ground. Barris, blaming Travis for causing the unrest, attempts to stab him, but the latter catches the blade with his hand. A vicious brawl ensues with the prisoners largely overwhelming the guards in sheer numbers. The money is no longer his main concern instead he is unwilling to let go of his power. Even as the rest of the guards try to lift the shutters to escape, Barris tries to keep them in. Upon finding Benjy chained up and left to die, Travis leads an assault against the guards, chasing them through the building. He interrupts the rape of a prisoner by Chase, knocks him out, and sets the other prisoners free. While locked in the dark boiler, Travis realizes that there is a hidden infrared camera watching him, even there, and as his despondence turns to anger he manages to get out.
Guards throw Travis into an old boiler pipe overnight, attack remaining prisoners, and chain them up across the compound. When Benjy tries to defend Travis, Barris hits Benjy hard on the head with his baton, leaving him twitching on the floor. Travis jumps up to one of the cameras and demands that the group be let go, but is dragged to the floor by the guards, who choke him with their batons. One morning while being humiliated during roll call, Travis removes his prison shirt as a sign that the experiment should end, and is followed by the other prisoners. The guards respond by shoving Travis' head into the toilet, nearly drowning him. Travis taunts Barris, saying he should use his $14,000 for psychological treatment. Barris also orders Travis to clean the prison toilets as punishment for his defiant attitude and his attempt to help Benjy. Barris, to Travis' surprise, gives Benjy his insulin, but later takes revenge by massing all other guards to beat Bosche severely, who is then left among the prison population. When Travis pleads for Bosche to intervene, Bosche tries to help by locating Benjy's insulin, but is caught by other guards. Travis discovers that Benjy, who is taken ill, had concealed his diabetes, thinking that he could manage the condition himself. When fellow guard Bosch dissents, Barris pressures him by reminding that quitting early will forfeit payment. He reassures the guards that they are behaving appropriately. The red light does not come on, and Barris takes this as a sign that his actions were "commensurate". Under Barris' lead Travis is abducted, head shaved, and urinated upon. Realizing Travis is influencing prisoner dissent, Barris decides to humiliate him, as physical retribution is forbidden. Barris becomes more and more sadistic.ĭespite increasing abuse from the guards, Travis remains defiant. Instead, the guards grow more forceful in order to make prisoners follow the rules. Barris, concerned that some of the guards, particularly Chase, may be capable of violence, tries to dissuade them from aggressive behavior.
