Leota Hynek

Leota Hynek was a supporting character in The Belko Experiment. She was portrayed by Gail Bean.

History
Prior to the events of film, Leota was hired as an employee for Belko Industries. Like the other employees, she had a “tracker“ implanted into her head which was supposed to reveal her location if she gets kidnapped. However, the “trackers“ were actually bombs that was intended to be used to kill the employees if they do not comply.

Phase 1
On the day of the experiment, Leota like most other foreign employees, was checked offscreen by unknown guards who were searching for anything that could interfere with the experiment. Later, Leota is first seen befriending Dany Wilkins who had just gotten hired and was working on her first day. Later on, an unknown Voice came over the intercom and told the employees to kill two people in half an hour or else four others would be killed. Leota, like all the other employees, chose to ignore the instructions and continue on as it was a regular work day. However as the 30 minutes passed, four employees were killed just like the voice had said.

Phase 2
Minutes later, the Voice returned and said the instructions for the next phase: kill 30 employees in two hours or 60 will die. Leota, like most other employees (except for Barry, Wendell, Terry, Antonio and Bradley), try to signal for help by waving a banner on the building’s roof. Unfortunately for the employees, the guards outside of the building opened fire on them, which caused them to give up the attempt. Soon afterwards, Leota and most other employees are gathered up in the lobby by Barry’s group who had acquired the weapon from the building’s armory. Soon afterwards, several employees are executed while lined-up in an attempt to get to 30 employees ultimatum. Before the entire line could be execute, Dany (the only employee to not be gathered up) turned off the building’s power allowing most of the employees to escape from Barry‘s group with Leota among them. After escaping Leota, Peggy, Mike and several other employees hid together in an attempt to survive. This turns out to be futile as the two hour deadline passed and 31 additional employees, including Leota and everyone else except for Mike, are killed by the bombs.
