[eerie music playing]

[Woo-seok] You think Mr. Seong will be okay, right?

What if they killed him already?

If they were going to kill him they wouldn't have brought him out there.

You're certain they took Mr. Seong to that island where they play the games?

Well, I can't say that for sure, but that's what my gut's telling me.

From what I remember, the island was somewhere around this area.

"If we fail to capture the Front Man alive,

we sneak onto the island however we can."

We're still doing that, right? Plan B, just like Mr. Seong wanted?

Once they start up the games again, his life may be in danger.

We need to find him before it's too late.

Just wait till I get my hands on these fuckers.

I'm gonna tase their asses till they shit smoke.

-[Captain] Hey! -[Woo-seok] Huh?

Everyone on board? Let's go.

SQUID GAME 2

EPISODE 3 001

[faint classical music playing]

[classical music playing on speakers]

[music stops]

Player 456.

I sense you're holding on to a great many things.

You feel frozen, unable to leave or stay.

There's no use trying to fight it.

Your fate is decided.

I see the wandering souls trapped with you unable to rest in death.

You didn't come here of your own volition. Those vengeful souls dragged you here.

You have bad karma, but I can help with that.

As soon as we get out of here I can cleanse you with a gut ritual.

[alarm buzzes]

[mysterious music playing]

[masked manager] I would like to extend a heartfelt welcome to you all.

Over the next six days,

you will participate in six different games.

Those who win all six games will receive a handsome cash prize.

[woman 1] Excuse me.

If we're just playing games here, then why you'd basically kidnap us?

How can we trust you now?

[masked manager] My apologies. Please understand it was a necessary step

taken to maintain the strict confidentiality of these games.

[woman 2] Is that right? Then what's the deal with the masks?

That's a secret too, I'm guessing?

Yeah. Why are you wearing those?

Where the hell are we? Is this some kind of illegal casino, huh?

[woman 2] If this were one of those, you'd see the dealers' faces!

[players murmuring]

To ensure the fairness and confidentiality of the games,

it is our policy not to disclose the faces and identities of our staff

to participants.

We ask for your understanding.

Did you people strip me when you shoved me into this?

And where the hell are my shoes?

God damn it, that pair was fucking limited edition.

They don't even make those anymore. What the hell?

How you gonna fix it if they got ruined?

Look at this. The size is all wrong and I hate the colors you're using.

Can I have the outfit you guys are wearing instead?

The pink's cute as hell.

My apologies, but I'm afraid that's not possible.

To ensure the games run smoothly, you must wear your uniforms.

[man 1] Uh, what about my phone?

You took my phone and my wallet. What the hell's going on?

When'll we get those?

[masked manager] Your belongings are safe and being stored securely.

We will return them to you once the games have ended.

Can I please get my phone returned at least?

I need to see how my crypto is doing.

Are you guys gonna compensate me if can't trade my coins?

We will return your phone once the games have ended.

I need to know if the market's going down.

Do you know how much money I've invested?

Player 333, Lee Myung-gi.

-[remote beeps] -[tense music]

[loud clacking]

[masked manager] Age 30, former owner of the YouTube channel, MG Coin.

Promoted Dalmatian, a new cryptocurrency,

leading his subscribers to lose a combined 15.2 billion won.

He then shut down his channel and disappeared.

Currently wanted for fraud

and violating multiple communication and investment laws.

Total debt: 1.8 billion won.

196, Kang Mi-na. Total debt: 45 million.

120, Cho Hyun-ju. Total debt: 330 million.

230, Choi Su-bong, 1.19 billion.

198, Jang Do-yeong, 1.4 billion.

[masked manager] 444, Kim Nam-du, 2.02 billion.

343, Sim Jae-seok, 2.89 billion.

006, Park Mi-hwa, 3.1 billion.

283, Lee Eun-ju, 4.02 billion.

100, Im Jeong-dae,

total debt: ten billion.

-[players murmuring] -[Jeong-dae on video] One more round!

[Yeong-sam] Ten billion? Which one is he? Where…

-What are you looking at? -[players gasp]

Think it's easy to get loans that large?

They don't give out ten billion to just anyone!

You have to work in the big leagues for that!

[players chattering]

[masked manager] Every player standing in this room

is living on the brink of financial ruin.

You're on the edge of a cliff saddled with debts you cannot hope to pay off.

When we first approached each of you, you understandably did not trust us.

But as you know, we played a game,

and true to our word, we gave you money when you won.

Because of that we earned your trust.

You called and volunteered to participate in this game

of your own free will.

-[suspenseful music] -So this is it.

I'll give you one last chance to decide.

Will you go back to living like useless trash,

running from your creditors,

or will you take action and seize the opportunity we're offering you?

-[tracker beeping] -[Jun-ho] We're getting closer.

It seems like it's one of those islands ahead of us.

Captain, why don't we pick up the pace.

Aye, aye. Your wish is my command.

[motor revs]

[ceiling rumbles]

[chiptune music playing]

[masked manager] If you look above you,

you will see the piggy bank where your prize money is going to be stored.

As I said, you will play six games.

After the conclusion of each game,

more prize money will be added to the piggy bank.

[chiptune music intensifies]

[music stops]

What's the total prize money at the end?

[masked manager] The total prize money is 45.6 billion won.

-[players gasp and murmur] -[man] 45.6 billion won?

And does just one person get it all?

[masked manager] More details on how the prize money gets divided

will be shared after the first game has ended.

For these games, we will also be giving you a special option

that we've never offered before.

And what option's that?

[masked manager] After each game, you will be given a chance to vote

on whether you'd like to end the games there

or if you want to keep playing.

If the majority of you wish to stop, the games will be terminated.

You can then take the prize money that has accumulated and leave.

[players murmuring]

[Gi-hun] Hold on.

After game one, if we vote to go,

then the prize money gets divided among us?

That is correct.

[players murmuring excitedly]

[chilling music playing]

[woman] Out of my way! Move it! Excuse me, let me through.

-Stupid idiot! -[man grunts]

Ma?

Mom, what are you doing here?

-That's what I was gonna ask you! -Quiet.

What on earth do you think you're doing here?

-Quiet! You're embarrassing me. -I'm embarrassing you?

You should be embarrassed about getting into this mess!

[whispers] That's enough, quiet. Why don't we just talk later.

No, we're gonna do this right now.

Let's go. You're leaving, right this second.

Get out of here. Go, hurry up.

What are you doing here? It's not safe for you, just look around!

What's gotten into you, woman?

Oh, you wanna know why I'm here, huh?

To pay off my ungrateful son's debt!

Why else would I be here, use your head!

I swear to god, I raised an idiot.

You're crazy! How could you drag an old lady into this?

What if she were to fall or something?

Aren't you guys liable for that? Huh?

Yong-sik, Yong-sik. Listen, I'll stay and do this.

You should just go home, okay, hon?

Mom! I came all this way, I can't just leave now.

Remember what you just swore to me, huh?

You said you'd never gamble again, didn't you?

It's not like that. There's no gambling here.

Just games, like they said.

I'll stay here and try one game. After that I'll go.

Dumbbell. Gaming, gambling, it's all the same thing!

-Quiet. Stop it, seriously! -Stupid kid.

[both continue arguing]

If you wish to participate in the games, then please sign the player consent form.

If you do not wish to participate, then please let us know at this time.

We will provide further opportunities to leave the games,

-should you change your mind. -To be clear,

you'll still pay us if we just do one? That's the deal, right?

[Yong-sik] Come on, Mom, why would you wanna stay here?

Just go home, I can handle this.

Hey, listen, if you're not leaving then I'll stay here too.

-I'm not going anywhere without you. -Can we hurry it up a little?

MG Coin? The Amazing Myung-gi? That you?

And you are?

You don't know me, but I sure know you, G.

MG Coin.

I was subscribed to your channel.

I lost hundreds of millions because of your shit advice.

So did I.

I think you've got the wrong guy.

I used to watch your videos every day, you know?

Now my dreams are full of your ugly fucking face.

-Yo, your name's Nam-su? -Gyu. Nam-gyu.

-Promoter at Club Pentagon. -Oh, right, yeah.

Anyways, thanks to you, Nam-gyu and I really bonded with each other.

Through our shared trauma. [chuckles]

Didn't those fuckers who made that shit-coin

go to the Philippines with all the cash they took?

What are you doing here?

Did they ditch you too?

So what exactly do you want?

-[players exclaiming] -What do you think? Our money.

Did I force either of you to invest in Dalmatian?

You fucking said everyone should sink every last penny into it.

That it was going to the moon.

That if you didn't buy it, you'd be a fucking idiot!

"Whenever you're investing, in the end it's up to you

to make the final call based on your own judgment."

Do you forget about that part at the end of the videos?

I thought you watched them every day.

Whoa, chill, bro. Time out, time out, time out!

-[grunts] Take it easy. -[Myung-gi] Let go, hey…

-Think about the album. -Let go of me!

Too many people.

You don't wanna end up on the news.

[Nam-gyu chuckles]

-[sinister music playing] -You better get rich here.

'Cause I want my money once this is done.

[Nam-gyu] Let's go, dude.

SEONG GI-HUN

[Captain] I knew it. What'd I tell ya?

And you said you were done looking for this place.

Sorry, Captain. It was an emergency,

and you were the one person I was sure I could call.

Suddenly you show up unannounced with these Men In Black-looking guys.

What the hell's all this fuss about?

And you know, as the captain of this here vessel,

I've got the right to know what's going on.

We got a lead on the island's exact whereabouts.

Yeah, what lead?

I found someone who played the games and survived.

[gasps]

-No shit. -Yeah.

And now it looks like they've dragged him back there.

-[tracker beeping] -We have a way to track his location.

[Woo-seok] Detective Hwang!

Uh, according to my phone, it looks like it's that island over there.

You familiar with it?

Oh, yeah, so folks lived there back in the day, I'm pretty sure,

but these days nobody really goes out there except to fish on shore.

I mean, sounds like it ticks all the boxes, doesn't it?

If it's the one, then there should be roads on it.

Plus helipads, and other kinds of structures.

I'll check for those with the drone.

You take a team on shore and follow the signal on your phone.

Okay. Hey you guys! Get ready to disembark!

["The Blue Danube" playing on speakers]

[woman on PA] Attention. The first game is about to begin.

[woman] Once your picture's been taken,

please follow the nearby staff's instructions,

Listen, I'm Gyeong-su. I'm a huge fan. I go to all your concerts.

Would it be okay if you and I took a picture?

-Take a picture with me too! -[woman] Me too. I want a picture.

[Nam-gyu] Hold on, wait.

Thanos can't take a million pictures today.

How about all in one? Is that cool with you?

-Okay, move it in come on. -[Gyeong-su] Thank you.

Okay, everybody. Get close, squish in.

Hey. You want to get in on this too? Come on.

-[automated voice] Smile. -[camera clicks]

[man 2] Are we all in the shot?

[masked manager] This is against the rules.

So you wanna be in it? Come on.

[masked manager] Only one person takes a picture at a time.

Really? Can't you make an exception?

We can't take pictures since you guys took our phones. Please?

No exceptions.

When we get outta here, you guys can give me your phones.

-I'll take pictures with everyone. -[all exclaiming]

[Nam-gyu] Okay, everyone, clear out.

[automated voice] Please look into the camera.

Smile.

[grand symphonic music playing]

[camera shutter clicking]

["The Blue Danube" playing on speakers]

-Please look into the camera. Smile. -Yong-sik, is that a man or a woman?

-[camera clicks] -People can do that now.

Someone's originally a man,

but they transition into a woman after a while.

-I don't get why a man would want that. -Shh. Quiet.

-One or the other, that's how things are. -You can't say that, Mom. Quiet.

[shudders in disgust] Honestly.

[automated voice] Please look into the camera.

Smile.

["The Blue Danube" continues]

[Nam-gyu] What?

[man] Gi-hun! Gi-hun, Gi-hun!

Jung-bae.

[Jung-bae] Hey! Holy shit! You're alive!

What are you doing here?

What am I doing here? What are you doing here?

You've been MIA for three years, and I heard your mom passed away.

Why'd I hear about it from my wife, not you?

I thought you and I were friends, asshole.

Is this 'cause I wouldn't lend you money back then?

Is that the reason you ghosted me?

Hey, keep moving, you're blocking the way.

It's got nothing to do with that.

It's a long story.

Since you're here, I'm guessing things are still pretty rough for you.

But even so, you should've told me when your mother died.

You know how much I liked her.

What are you doing in here?

What about your wife?

We got divorced.

Divorced?

-And your kid? -Her mom has custody.

Why? I thought the two of you were doing okay.

-Were you messing around? -[scoffs] Like I could swing that.

I don't wanna talk about it now.

Once we get outta here, we'll catch up over some drinks.

-[whimpers] -Listen, Jung-bae.

Stay behind me once it starts.

No matter what happens, understand?

What's going on with you, Gi-hun? You're being such a drama--

Look, trust me on this!

You just need to promise to stay close to me.

Okay, dude. Sure. [chuckles]

What, like this?

Like we're in a conga line, huh? [chuckles]

Seriously, though, this is some weird shit.

[tracker beeping]

It's over here.

-Sweep in from the coast, try to stay low. -Got it.

Whoa!

-[Jung-bae] Fuck me. -[woman on PA] Attention, players.

-Welcome to the first game. -[Jung-bae] Why were there so many stairs?

[woman on PA] After you enter the arena,

please stand near the entrances and await further instructions.

Once again: all players, please stand near the entrances

-and await further instructions. -Hey, señorita.

Know who I am?

Should I?

Nah, that's all right.

[guns cocking]

-[players speaking indistinctly] -[seagull squawking]

-[doors clank loudly] -[players gasp, murmur]

[woman on PA] Welcome to the first game.

You will be playing Red Light, Green Light.

Wait, we're playing Red Light, Green Light? Is that all?

I was right. No gambling. It's just a game, see?

I played this one when I was a kid.

Is that all they want us to play? Red light, Green Light?

[Woo-seok] Hey, you.

-What? -Ah, shit.

-Hey! -[tracker beeping]

-[Woo-seok] Hold on. -Hey. What… What are you doing?

-[beeping continues] -Damn it!

[fisherman] Hey, that's my shit!

-[Kim] Not so fast. Stay there. -What's going on?

-[Kim] Don't move. -[beeping faster]

What's the matter, dude?

Oh!

-Hey, man, is that your tooth? -[intense music plays]

-Where is it? -[beeping quickens]

Fuck!

Shit.

[Gi-hun] I'm fucked.

-[Woo-seok] Where'd you get this? -Um, get what?

The fucking chip! Where did you get it?

Wait, earlier. I, um… Back at the dock,

there was this guy who gave me his container of leftover bait.

Was that in there?

Shit.

[radio beeps]

Detective Hwang, you there? Those fuckers are onto us.

They found the tracker and stuck it on someone else to throw us off.

[Masked Officer] We are ready to start the game, sir.

Start video transmission.

[woman on PA] Players who cross the finish line

within the five-minute time limit without being eliminated

-will win this game. -[loudly] Everyone!

Everybody, you need to pay attention!

Hey, listen up!

[players quiet down]

I'm gonna tell you something and you gotta listen close!

This isn't just a game, it's more than that.

If you move after "red light,"

you're going to be shot!

-[scoffs] -[players chuckle, murmur]

-What? -[chuckles] What's this guy's deal?

[Eun-ju] Excuse me, sir. What exactly are you saying?

That we're all gonna die playing Red Light, Green Light? Really?

-Come on, let's do it. -[Gi-hun] Yes, that's right!

If they catch you moving, you're going to be killed!

They're gonna shoot you. There's guns in the walls!

That guy's gotta be drunk or something.

-[Gi-hun] Pay close attention! -He says they'll shoot us.

You know, this is just like my dad.

Whenever he comes home drunk,

he always starts shouting the same bullshit.

-Says they bugged him. -[Gi-hun] That sensor catches you,

-you will die! -Crazy shit.

You see that big doll thing there? Look at it!

Its eyes are like motion-tracking sensors!

-Motion-tracking eyes. -[Gi-hun] If it sees you move, you die!

-If it sees us, then we get to see Dad. -[scoffs]

[Nam-du] What is this bullshit? What's your angle?

I think he's just trying to freak people out.

Then he wouldn't have to share the money. He could win all of it.

-[players agreeing] -Hey, you bastard, you're not fooling us!

You gotta believe me, I swear I'm not lying!

[doll whirs]

[Gi-hun] No matter what, do not panic! You can't afford to!

Remember everything I told you!

Stay as still as you can! Don't try and run away!

[woman on PA] With that, let the game begin.

[doll] Green light.

Red light!

Now freeze!

Good job! That's it, keep nice and calm, just like that.

You got it? Move steady as you go, and then stop before "red light."

-What you doing? -[Gi-hun] If you do that,

-we'll make it out alive! -Is this asshole a friend of yours?

No, never met him.

[doll] Green light.

-Red light! -Freeze!

[Gi-hun] All right, good, just try to relax!

Stay where you are!

You need to cut it out, you're scaring everyone.

Nope. That dude's not high.

And you would know?

-[bee buzzing] -You wanna try?

What's that?

It knows you're a flower. You got a bee crawling on you.

A bee? [screams]

Oh, shit. I just moved, didn't I? [chuckles]

[gunshot]

[body thuds]

[Gi-hun] Listen to me! Nobody move!

Don't turn your head, don't do anything!

[woman on PA] Player 196, eliminated.

Jung-bae, no matter what happens, don't move, do you hear me?

[Gi-hun] Stay where you are! Don't move!

[bee buzzing]

-[players gasp] -[multiple gunshots]

No! Stop moving!

You gotta stay still! Do not run!

-[players screaming] -[gunshots continue]

Stay still.

-[gunshots] -[Gi-hun] If you run, you will die!

I told you, you're gonna die if you don't stay still!

[rapid gunfire]

Don't move! Don't react! Stay exactly where you are!

Please don't run!

-[floor beeping] -[dark music playing]

You have to freeze right where you are!

Freeze!

[ominous music playing]

[woman on PA] I will repeat the rules again.

You are allowed to move forward when it says, "Green light."

When it says "Red Light," you must stop.

If your movement is detected afterwards, you will be eliminated.

They're cameras that scan the field for motion!

But it's not able to detect you if you're behind something!

So if you're short, line up behind someone who's taller than you!

please line up in front of your rooms.

[mysterious music playing]

[Woo-seok] Hey, we can't just sit here and do nothing.

We should search a couple of the surrounding islands. Let's go.

If they wanted to lure us out here, I doubt the real one is close by.

Storm front's coming in. They issued a warning.

I think it's better if we call it a day.

[Woo-seok] Shit.

This search is going to take a while.

Let's head in so we can think of a new plan of attack.

How'd they know he had a tracker in his implant?

Did one of you guys go get drunk and blab about it last night?

Come on, boys. It's gonna get pretty cold soon.

Let's pack up the gear and move out.

[sniffs]

You okay, bro?

-Don't worry. -But…

-You just-- -I'm okay.

Hey, Gi-hun. What was that crazy-ass doll thing?

Were the guns inside its eyes?

The doll wasn't the one shooting at us.

They have a team of guards up in the walls.

How could you know that, though?

Have you been here before?

[alarm buzzing]

[mysterious music playing]

[players murmuring in fear]

You have successfully made it through the first game.

Congratulations to you all.

Now, if I may have your attention, I will announce the results so far.

[digital trilling]

Out of 456 players, 91 have been eliminated.

Which means 365 players have completed the first game.

Once again, congratulations to all of you for making it through the first game.

Sir, listen to me! Let us go, please!

Please! Don't kill us!

I know… I know my son owes money.

I swear, I'll pay it back.

I will. I'll do whatever it takes. I'll pay everything.

Just please, please forgive me and my son.

Come here. Help. Get on your knees and beg. There. Go.

I apologize for everything, forgive me. Give me another chance.

-Yes. -[Yong-sik] I'll get the money.

[masked manager] Players, there seems to be a misunderstanding.

[woman] I'll do anything. Let us live.

[man] Just hold on, you don't need to kill us. You don't need to kill me.

I'll work to pay everything back.

[players begging]

We are not trying to hurt you or collect your debts.

We are simply providing you with an opportunity.

[Gi-hun] Consent form clause three!

[players quiet down]

"If the majority of players agree to stop playing,

the games will be terminated."

Isn't that correct?

That is correct.

Then we'll do that. We'll put it to a vote.

If that's what you'd like.

During these games, we will always respect your right to freedom of choice.

[players sigh in relief]

But before we vote,

we will reveal how much prize money has accumulated after the first game.

-[remote beeps] -[ceiling rumbles]

[digital trilling]

[chiptune music playing]

[chiptune music intensifies]

[masked manager] A total of 91 players were eliminated during the first game.

Therefore, 9.1 billion won has accumulated so far.

If you decide to stop playing and quit the games now,

the remaining 365 players will split the 9.1 billion amongst themselves.

Meaning, you each leave with an equal share.

Okay. How much per share?

Each player would get 24,931,500 won.

Are you serious? Man, come on, we like almost died.

24 million, that's all?

-Are you fucking kidding me? -[players grumbling]

-20 mil? -[woman] You're cheating us.

What happened to 45 billion?

As per the rules of the games,

100 million won is added to the piggy bank for each player eliminated.

If you decide to play the next game, and more players are eliminated,

then the total prize money will increase again accordingly.

So, say we make it to the end of all this, then how much do we get?

As previously mentioned,

the total amount of prize money for all 456 players is 45.6 billion won.

That 45.6 billion will be divided amongst the players

who make it through all six games without being eliminated.

Okay. So that would mean that if you're the only one at the end, you'd get it all?

That is correct.

[players murmuring]

So we'll still be able to call for a vote

if we make it all the way through the next game too?

As outlined in the consent form,

once each of the games has concluded, you may call for a vote.

If the majority agrees,

you may take the accumulated prize money and leave.

Ensuring our players are participating in the games of their own volition

is always our highest priority.

With that, the voting may now begin.

If you wish to continue playing, press the blue button with the "O."

If you wish to stop playing, press the red button with the "X."

You will vote in order of player number, from highest to lowest.

Player 456.

[players murmuring indistinctly]

[woman] This is all useless. There's no point.

Just as you didn't get to choose when you entered this world,

you don't get to pick when you're going to leave it.

The time and place of each one of your deaths

was decided from the instant you were born.

There's no changing it now.

No matter how hard you try to fight it, you'll never be able to escape your fate.

[suspenseful music playing]

[masked manager] Once you've voted, attach the patch you're given

to the right side of your chest,

and stand in the area marked with the corresponding symbol.

[Gi-hun] Hold on, everyone!

-Wait a minute! -[music stops]

Don't do this to yourselves.

Just think for a second. Can't you see what's going on?

These aren't regular games we're playing.

If we don't stop this, they'll kill us all!

Just focus on getting out of this place.

And to do that, we need to win the vote.

We can stop this here and now.

[Jeong-dae] And who do you think you are?

Why're you trying to egg people on? What're you getting at?

The game had just started, and you scared us shouting about getting shot!

[woman] He's right!

You kept going on and on about how we were all gonna die

and I got so nervous that I was almost killed out there!

By the way, how did you know they were gonna shoot at us?

You work for these guys?

You're a plant put here to try and trick us.

They hired you to come and confuse us all!

Who is this man?

You're the ones who put him in here to manipulate us!

Hey, old man, you better watch yourself.

He's the reason you're not dead.

If he hadn't told us what to do, then none of us would be alive.

-[players agreeing] -And you there!

I saw how freaked out you were. You were so scared your legs were shaking.

You should be thanking him, not calling him a fraud.

Hey, fucker, why do you care? You also a plant?

You kiss your mama with that mouth?

I kiss your mama. What you gonna do, huh?

This is ridiculous. You both need to stop this.

Please, that's enough. Everyone, everyone!

Think about what we've been through today. We can't let this go on.

It's only thanks to this gentleman

that any of us are still breathing after all that.

Listen, I know how much money means to you all.

Your lives are worth a whole lot more.

Let's finish the vote and get out of here!

-[man 1] Let's get out of here! -[man 2] Let's all leave together!

[Jeong-dae] No! We're staying right here! Bring it on!

[players clamoring]

I've played these games before!

I said I've played these games before.

I knew about the first game because I'd already done it.

'Cause I'd played the exact same one.

I was here three years ago, and I played them all.

And every single person who was there with me…

They were all killed, every one!

-[woman] Died? -[man 1] What does he mean?

-[man 2] They all really died? -[man 3] This guy's full of shit.

[Yeong-sam] Wait a minute. If everyone else died, then how did you survive?

Unless…

You're saying you were the only winner?

It's true.

I was the only one who made it.

[players gasp, murmur]

If you keep playing until the end,

I guarantee every person in this room…

will eventually end up like those players.

We will all be killed.

-[players murmuring] -[scoffs]

What a load of bullshit.

If you're the only one who made it, you won 45.6 billion won.

Why the hell would you come crawling back?

[woman] Yeah, he's gotta be lying!

-Bullshit! -[man 4] No way you won that money!

-[man 5] Crazy bastard! -[man 6] If you won already, so did I!

If you really did win this thing before, that's good for us.

You can give us some tips on how to win.

And get to the end like you did.

[Jeong-dae] That's right!

He's won this.

There's nothing to worry about. We all can win!

Okay, come on! Let's make money!

-[Thanos] Let's get it! -[Yeong-sam] Let's make money!

[excited shouting]

I need you all to listen to me. We have to leave this place.

If we keep playing games,

then more and more people are going to die.

And the next one they kill could be you.

We have to end this right now so we can get out of here alive.

[footsteps approaching]

Everyone--

[masked manager] Starting now, we will not permit any action

that interferes with the voting process.

With that, we will now resume voting.
