Later the CAPTOR adds a lever that will steal the other prisoner’s food. The CAPTOR pretends the prisoners pulled the lever to encourage a prisoner to leave. The prisoners struggle with the guilt of abandoning their families or being responsible for another's death. The prisoners come to an understanding without being able to directly communicate.
