Yes, it went down the drain. However, as I said before, Adam passed the test, and when you pass the test, the guy lets you go. Adam wants to live, and he will, because he will find the keys in the drain.

If the movie were to disregard this, then the whole setting up of the other characters instances with their traps wouldn't make sense.

Another reason Adam does not die is because the guy doesn't kill people. He gets others to kill them for him. Adam is now alone and chained up. This would be murder because Adam will die of starvation and dehydration. Thus Adam cannot die.
