[computer over PA] The game will now commence.

[tense music playing]

The game?

What game?

[man 1] I don't get it. A game? What's she talking about?

I'd like to know… where did everyone disappear to?

[man 2] There was no one at Shinagawa Station either.

[groans] Damn it! Ugh!

Ugh. I guess I had too much. [coughs]

-[music fades] -[drumbeats]

Game, Sacred Fortunes.

Rules. Draw ten fortune slips, and test your luck.

FORTUNES

If you decipher the sacred fortune slips accurately and manage to survive,

then you will clear the game.

However, each person may only draw a slip once.

The time limit is one minute per draw.

The game will now commence.

It must be some kinda ceremony or festival, I guess.

[woman 1] I'm not so sure.

Didn't she just say we clear the game if we manage to survive?

So that means

that we'll die if we get the answer wrong?

Nah, that'd be ridiculous.

Well, if you ask me, this could be a lotta fun.

[foreboding music playing]

[man 3 chuckles]

The guy's wasted. He's high on drugs.

[music fades]

[man 3] Okay then!

[grunts]

[rattling]

[chuckling]

17!

17…

17!

[drumbeat]

First draw. Start.

"Great fortunes and blessings."

"In everything you do, you will succeed." And bingo!

-[woman 2] I don't believe it! -[man 3] You see? [laughs]

We don't know if this is a good thing or not yet.

[man 3 laughs]

[sighs]

[laughs]

[sighs]

Well, maybe nothing actually happens when the slip reads "great fortune."

Okay. We should continue drawing the slips.

But who's next?

Do you wanna do it?

I'll do it! I'll give it a try.

Be my guest.

[rattling]

[woman 4] 21.

[drumbeat]

Second draw. Start.

"Good luck."

"Perseverance brings good luck. Marriage prospects are good."

"Study hard and you will graduate. West is your unlucky direction."

Hmm…

There's a math problem written here.

[Arisu] Do you mind if I take a look?

Are we supposed to… solve this?

-[drumbeat] -Please provide your answer.

-It's 15. -[man 2] 15, I guess?

-[woman 4] Hmm? -[Arisu] 15.

-[man 1] Isn't it 18? -[woman 1] What?

-It's five. -[woman 2] It could be nine.

-So which one is it? -We don't have time. Hurry up!

-Ten seconds remaining. -Uh…

Uh, it's 18! The right answer's 18!

-[Arisu] The answer's 15. -[woman 3] Isn't it 25?

-[buzzer sounds] -The correct answer is… 15.

[man 3 groans]

-[woman 1] See? -[sighs]

-I was right. -It's my mistake.

If your answer is incorrect, fire arrows will be shot.

One for each margin of error in your calculation.

Everyone, please be careful.

Fire arrows?

[players gasp]

-[woman 2 shrieks] -[man 1 yelps]

[players screaming]

[woman 1 screams]

[gasping]

[tense music playing]

-[man 5] What's happening? -[man 6] What's going on?

-[man 7] Get outta my way! -[man 8] Hey!

[man 7 yelling]

-[buzzing] -[zapping]

-[squelching] -[players screaming]

[echoing thud]

[music fades]

[theme music playing]

[lasers humming]

[interference buzzing]

[shivering] Please! Please! Please!

[breathes deeply]

[sighs]

It's 45.

45, 45. Forty…

[breathing deeply]

[drumbeat]

[computer over PA] Third draw. Start.

"Some luck…"

[woman 1] Is there a problem to solve?

"How many people need to gather

for the probability of two people having the same birthday to exceed 50%?"

"One. 23 people."

"Two. 78 people."

"Three. 183 people."

"Four. 365 people."

Wow! I've absolutely no idea.

It's a probability problem.

I think it has to be over one hundred people.

So it must be 183 people.

It's 23 people.

-Only 23? -So, maybe 183?

-[drumbeat] -20 seconds remaining.

Okay…

The answer is…

The answer is number two, 78.

[man 2] What? Why'd you say that?

-I just picked the number in-between. -[buzzer]

-Oh, please! -The correct answer is number one.

-23 people. -[whimpers]

-[man 2] I told you so! -Margin of error, 55.

[players screaming]

[screams]

[whimpering] I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!

Fourth draw. Start.

"How long does it take for blood that is pumped through the heart

to circulate through the entire human body and return back to the heart?"

"Answer one. Five seconds."

"Two. 30 seconds."

"Three. 80 seconds."

80 seconds! Answer number three!

-[buzzer sounds] -The correct answer is number two.

30 seconds.

Margin of error, 50.

[groaning]

[tense music playing]

[woman 1] "At the city zoo, 50 animals flip over onto their backs

in a specific order."

"When it flipped on its back, what number was the lion?"

Nothing else?

Is it a riddle?

The lion's 47th.

[buzzer sounds]

The correct answer is 17th.

How come?

When you flip the word lion onto it's back, you get the number 17.

-That's bullshit! -Margin of error, 30.

[screaming]

[drumbeat]

In Roman numerals, I equals one, V equals five, and X equals ten.

What does the letter L equal?

A hundred!

-[buzzer sounds] -The correct answer is 50.

-I'm sorry! [screams] -Margin of error, 50.

-Margin of error, 55. -Fuck!

[music fades]

[screaming]

Eighth draw. Start.

[screams]

[players wailing]

[screaming]

[ominous music playing]

I'm starting to remember.

-Arisu. Live for us. -[Arisu] Karube!

[inaudible]

I remember.

I remember that I cleared so many games in this country.

-[woman 2 coughs] -[woman 3] To hell with this!

I'm drawing "great fortune and blessings."

-[man 3] Yeah, go on! You can do it! -[Arisu coughs]

Ninth draw. Start.

"Small fortune and blessings…"

If it's another math question, I'm finished.

Small is better than none.

-Read the problem. -Okay.

"Milk is made from various nutrients contained in the cow's blood."

"How many liters of cow's blood do you need to make one liter of cow's milk?"

What?

-Does anyone know the answer? -[coughs]

What kind of person would know the answer to that nonsense?

[whimpers] I have no idea!

-20 seconds. -[man 4] Just give any answer!

Stop shouting at her. She needs to clear her mind.

-We don't have any time! Hurry it up! -I don't understand this kind of stuff!

Just give any answer!

[gasps]

[breathing shakily]

Ten seconds remaining.

The answer is…

[gasps]

It's two liters!

-[buzzer sounds] -The correct answer is 450 liters.

-What? -450 liters?

It takes that much blood? Uh, just to make one liter of milk?

-Margin of error, 448. -I'm sorry!

[players gasping]

[man 3] You gotta be kidding me!

[screaming]

[woman 1 whimpering]

-[wailing] -I'm so sorry!

[woman 1] Never mind, sorry! Help me with this!

-[sobbing] -[man 3] God damn it!

[screams]

[grunts] Shit, it's too hot! Damn it! It's too hot. It's too hot!

-[woman 1 sobs] -Don't move, okay?

[screams]

-Oh, this is gonna hurt. -[woman 1 yelps]

-[roars] -[woman 1 screams]

[screaming and crying]

Sorry, I have to do this.

-[grunts] -[sobs]

[man 1 wheezing]

-What are you doing? -[man 3] It's over now.

-[woman 1 sobbing] -Stay with me, okay?

All right, I got this.

I'm surprised that you know how to do that.

[man 3] If I go to the hospital, I end up getting arrested by the cops.

That's it! How are you feeling? Stay awake!

[grunts]

[players wheezing and coughing]

[woman 5 whimpering]

-It's too hot! [groans] -This is the last chance we have.

This is the tenth draw.

Succeed and we clear the game.

-We're counting on you. -[woman 5] I can't take this!

[Arisu] Got it.

[coughs]

[woman 5] We're suffocating! The fire's out of control. We're gonna die.

Please help us!

[drumbeats]

Tenth draw. Start.

[ominous music playing]

[gasps]

NUMBER 58 EXTREME BAD LUCK

Well, I guess we're all screwed now…

Congratulations.

-[Arisu] I'm sorry. -[man 1] Read us the problem.

[players coughing]

"What is the current total population of planet Earth?"

Huh?

I once heard that the world's population increases by 80 million people annually.

A few years ago it was about 7.88 billion.

If we get it wrong, they'll be shooting millions and millions of arrows at us.

Don't be ridiculous. That's impossible.

20 seconds remaining.

Ten seconds remaining.

The answer is 7.9 billion.

[buzzer sounds]

The correct answer is… eight billion.

-You're joking. -That's a margin of 100 million.

Shut the fuck up! That doesn't make sense! How could anyone shoot that many arrows?

[rumbling]

[woman 2 gasps]

[crashing]

[deep, intense roaring]

[man 3] You gotta be kidding me…

A hundred million arrows heading for us here.

What are we gonna do now?

We're doomed. What do I do?

Think, Arisu… Think!

If you decipher the sacred fortune slips accurately…

"Study hard and you will graduate. West is your unlucky direction."

DIRECTIONAL FORTUNE CHART

WEST

[Arisu] The direction…

-What? -[woman 1] What did you say?

Maybe the direction written on the slip is a hint to how to escape the arrows.

-I already threw mine away! -What about yours?

It says… "West is bad luck."

Last time, the arrows came from that direction.

[man 1] Okay, so does anyone have a compass?

-Why the hell would I have a compass? -Mine says northeast is unlucky.

-The arrows came from there! -[man 1] Mine says north is unlucky.

[woman 1] Southeast is unlucky for me.

-Mine says the east. -And mine is southwest.

-Mine says south! -[Arisu] My fortune slip is blank.

Which direction was "great fortune"?

I told you guys, I threw it away!

-You did what? -Away!

-[man 2] Look! Arrows! -[woman 5] We have to do something!

-Find somewhere to hide! -[heavy rumbling]

No one drew northwest.

-[woman 2] What? -Northwest was the only direction missing.

It must have been on the "great fortune" slip.

It might be the way to escape "extremely bad luck."

-[woman 2] Come on! Hurry, everyone! -[man 3] Run! Move it!

[dramatic music playing]

-[zapping] -[lasers humming]

Don't move!

[man 3] What do we do now?

-There's nothing here! -[Arisu] There must be something.

-[man 3] Like what? -Look, there's a well!

It's been sealed up!

On the way to the shrine, I noticed that the stairs were quite steep.

Who cares about the stairs?

It means

that somewhere around here

there has to be…

[stones clinking]

…an underground tunnel!

[crashing]

They're on the way.

[intense, heavy rumbling]

[arrows screeching]

[man 2] No way.

That's impossible… There's a hundred million!

I need some help!

[gasps] You're too late! Forget it.

[all straining]

[roaring]

It's a tunnel!

-Inside! -[man 3] Hurry!

-[Arisu] Move it! -[squeals]

[yelps]

[woman 5 screams]

Hey! Hey!

[rumbling]

[man 1] This way, come on.

[heavy rumbling]

[players gasping]

Game cleared.

Congratulations.

-[gasping] -We made it.

[rumbling continues]

[all panting heavily]

[water dripping]

PROCEED 17 KM NORTHEAST THE "GAME" STARTS AT SUNDOWN TOMORROW

-[woman 1 sighs] -[man 2] There's another game?

[woman 3] And what happens if we don't go?

[woman 2] Yeah, she's right. We should just stay here.

[man 1] Yeah, but if we decide not to go, then what'll happen?

[grunts]

-[buzzing] -[yelps]

-[woman 3 sighs] -There's no running from the games.

[soft rustling]

[gasping]

[foreboding music playing]

[engine puttering]

[dramatic music playing]

[man 2] So, does this mean…

Yeah.

All of us… have been here before.

[music fades]

[distant laughter]

[suspenseful music playing]

[music fades]

-[sighs] -[woman 3] Hey, big sis!

Aah! [laughs]

-Big sis? -[chuckles]

Look what baby sis just found for you. Look!

-[woman 1 sighs] What is it? -[laughs] It's a walking stick.

-[woman 1] Oh! -I thought it might help you get around.

-That's kind of you. -[woman 3 chuckles]

It's so bright and shiny.

-Gyaru style suits you! -[both laugh]

[rattling]

[man 2] Hey, Arisu, look! I found loads of stuff for everyone.

[Arisu chuckles] Well done.

-[man 2] Woo-hoo! -[man 1] We got some food too.

[Arisu] Great!

[man 3] He had these eyes that really gave me the chills.

When he looked at me, it was like he wasn't even human.

[man 2] Now that I think about it…

[man 3] Aah.

…I think I met the same guy.

-Are you serious? -[man 2 sighs]

It was about two years ago.

Just after I… went and did this to myself.

You poor thing. That's terrible.

When the medics found me, I was unconscious.

Anyways, I survived.

But then…

maybe because I'd been bullied a lot…

I became even more of a loner.

My life never got back to normal.

Then one day…

That man gave you the card.

Mm-hm.

Now that you mention it, I think I also met him before coming here.

Where was he?

[quiet, tense music playing]

Well, it's a little embarrassing.

I was a member of a women's support group.

What kind of support group?

[sighs]

It was a support group for housewives with family issues.

Groups like these exist, you know?

I realized that this man was actually manipulating me.

So then… is this guy the Joker?

When we were in this place before,

we cleared all the games from the deck of cards.

Every suit in the deck.

But we never fought against the Joker.

Are you saying that that's the man we're facing now?

That we're going to have to fight the Joker?

Probably, yeah.

And there's one other thing.

I think we've all got something in common.

I think that each and every one of us today has been here before.

[man 3] You're right.

My memories are starting to come back to me now.

[poignant music playing]

[man 2] Yeah, it's the same for me. I've played games here before.

[man 1] And in my case,

I was supervising club activities back in school.

And that's when I went into cardiac arrest.

And I was assaulted by a stalker.

And I was in Shibuya when the meteor hit.

And those games…

I'd prefer not to remember them.

[sighs heavily]

[sighs]

So, Arisu, have you been here before too?

I have, yeah.

[music fades]

[poignant music playing]

[man 3] Can you believe that guy?

He actually followed his wife back into this place. [scoffs]

I feel sorry for you.

-You've never been in love, have you? -What?

It's a husband's duty to look after his wife.

To treasure and support her.

Okay, but what are the chances he'll be able to find his wife here?

Hmm… I'd say his chance is around 5%.

-He's got absolutely zero chance. Fool. -Be quiet, he can hear you!

He's not wrong. We might all die in the next game anyway.

[ominous music playing]

[power buzzing]

"GAME" ARENA THIS WAY

[squeaking]

[man 3] Damn… this is creepy.

[music fades]

Well, looks like were not the only ones here.

[PA chimes]

[computer] Game, Zombie Hunt.

Zombie Hunt?

Rules.

Each of the participants will now receive seven playing cards each.

You are to use these cards to play one-on-one games.

The games are to be played at designated tables installed throughout this facility.

In these games, you will play cards

from the same suit from the hand dealt to you.

The one with the highest cumulative total wins the game.

The winning player then receives one card from the losing player.

The one with the highest total wins.

The game seems pretty simple.

So what's this got to do with zombies?

This game also contains three special cards.

The first one…

the Zombie card.

Now I see. Okay.

Only one person from each group will receive the Zombie card.

The Zombie card trumps every other card in the deck. It's an instant win.

The losing player then becomes infected by the zombie,

and a Zombie card is added to their hand.

There is a card in the deck to stop the zombies from multiplying.

The Shotgun card.

The Shotgun card is used to kill zombies.

[gunshot]

Each player from each team is guaranteed to receive a Shotgun card.

You can use the Shotgun card even if the Zombie card is not placed on the table.

That means there's a risk we'll be killed by zombies.

The Shotgun card can only be used once, then it disappears.

The card is also ineffective against humans.

If you prefer a peaceful method for stopping the zombies,

there is the Vaccine card.

The Vaccine card will be distributed randomly

between members of each group.

When this card is played,

it cancels out the Zombie card placed on the table,

and it turns the zombie back into a human.

However, you cannot use the Vaccine card on yourself.

[buzzer sounds]

Use both of these cards to stop the zombies from multiplying.

The game ends after 20 rounds.

Those of you who run out of number cards during these 20 rounds

will be eliminated.

Zombies or humans,

the side with the most players at the end of the game wins.

LARGER SIDE AFTER 20 ROUNDS WINS HUMANS / ZOMBIES

The side with the fewest players will be eliminated.

Teams will enter this game through the four entrances of the research facility,

with only one team allowed at each entrance.

So that means there are other teams.

There is also one zombie in each of the other teams.

[man 1] So there are just four cards?

-[buzzer sounds] -Ready. Game start.

Players, please take your cards.

[man 3] No Zombie, please.

-[PA chimes] -First round. Start.

Choose your opponent. Touch them, and then move to the game table.

[suspenseful music playing]

[whirring]

[bleeping]

Please place your cards.

[Arisu] In this game, the numbers on the cards aren't important.

After 20 rounds, we just need to have at least one number card left.

[computer] Show your cards.

Sorry about that.

Stupid game.

We should probably avoid playing against the other teams.

If we just play within our own team,

we can simply share our number cards with each other.

-That seems to be right. -Mm-hm.

[computer] Second round. Start.

[Arisu] The problem is the three special cards.

And the real problem is the Zombie card.

[computer] Show your cards.

-It means I win. Sorry. -Hmm.

[man 8] It's really cramped up here.

There are other game tables on the lower floor.

-We could use it as our base. -Good idea. There's lots of room.

[suspenseful music continues]

-[man 8] Whew! This place is huge! -[Arisu] If we prevent zombies multiplying

over the course of 20 rounds, then humans will win.

[man 10] Take a look at this place!

So if I understand correctly, there's a zombie on our team, right?

[Arisu] Yes, and it's highly unlikely that they would even tell anyone on the team.

[man 2] Why not?

Because if you're a zombie, you run the risk of getting a Shotgun card.

[sighs] That's for sure.

-[PA chimes] -[computer] Third round. Start.

-[footsteps running downstairs] -[man 11] There's another group!

Come on! We gotta touch 'em first!

-[man 12] Let's go! -[man 13] Right behind you.

Nice to meet you.

-[footsteps] -[man 14 calls out]

[computer] Show your cards.

[Arisu] In order to stop the zombies multiplying,

we need to identify the random players who have received a Vaccine card.

This will be the key step to ensure victory.

I'm the winner!

So far in our group, we haven't confirmed the existence of a Vaccine card.

And that means there's a high chance

the holder is among the players from the other teams.

INSTITUTE OF VIRUS RESEARCH

[music fades]

[man 14] Sh. We have to find other teams.

[woman 6] Yes, but if we spread out too much, it's risky.

[man 14] Yeah. If we split and see all the floors…

-[woman 7] Mmm. -[woman 6] That'll help, I think.

-[man 14] Be safer. Safety in numbers. -[woman 6] Yeah.

Less exposed.

-Usagi! -[man 14] And then we meet back here.

[man 15] Excuse me, miss?

-What do you think? -We need to identify special card holders.

We need to identify them,

and gather as many of the Vaccine and Shotgun cards within our group,

to keep us protected.

[PA chimes]

[computer] Players, please choose your opponent and touch them.

-Can I ask you something? -About what?

I'm looking for a young woman named Usagi.

Any chance you've seen her?

Early 30s, with short hair about this length.

She's around five feet tall.

Sorry, no idea. You're describing half the women in here.

I suppose…

But I can tell you something.

This Joker stage seems to be more like a tournament.

So even if you do find this woman,

you might end up having to kill each other.

[suspenseful music playing]

What does he mean, "tournament?"

[Arisu] He means we can't choose which games we participate in.

And once we arrive in the arena,

we meet up with players who have survived in other arenas.

He might be right.

That's definitely different from when I played in this country before.

Back then, we could move freely between the games.

You're right about that.

So this means that when this tournament is over,

a small number of players will remain.

And most likely, those players who do survive…

Will end up having to kill each other.

That's some scary shit.

[PA chimes]

[computer] Players, please choose your opponent and touch them.

[music fades]

Please place your cards.

Ma'am, my guess is

you've been infected by a zombie.

I… [gasps]

Ever since we sat down at the table, you've avoided making eye contact with me.

If you wanted to generate trust and survive by sharing cards,

you'd have looked me in the eye.

I… [sighs]

And it also happens that until now,

you've always played against the same woman since the game started.

And now, all of sudden, you want to play against me?

So I gather that you've turned her into a zombie,

and now you've split up and moved on.

Because once you become a zombie,

infecting other people is your only way to win.

[places card]

Spreading zombies here would be very unwise.

Zombies can get shot.

But if you remain human, there's no risk involved.

All the players on our team still have their Shotgun card.

Once you're exposed as a zombie, someone will try to kill you.

So what do you think?

When we find someone with a Vaccine card, we'll cure you.

But for now, why don't you stay with us?

[tense music playing]

[places card]

[computer] Show your cards.

[music fades]

[gasps]

[sighs]

I believe that zombies have already started to multiply.

Are they… both zombies?

[woman 1] So what are we gonna do with them?

[Arisu] We have to find some Vaccine cards.

Listen, kid.

Stop overthinkin' this, okay? Wouldn't it be better just to kill them?

It's not that easy for some of us to kill, you know!

We have to find a way to stop the zombies from spreading.

Does anyone have any ideas?

[woman 8] I know a way.

There is one way to stop the Zombie cards

without everyone here having to kill each other.

[suspenseful music playing]

-What way? -[man 3] You should be careful.

This one's never been part of our team.

She might be a zombie.

The only way to stop zombie proliferation is to form a group

and promise to always use the Vaccine card to cure each other.

That way, even if a member of our team becomes a zombie,

they don't have to worry about it.

Seeing as we have the Vaccine cards, we can cure 'em.

And then, once they're cured,

we get them to tell us who it was that infected them with the Zombie card.

Once we know, we threaten to shoot them.

And then all the zombies will become scared,

and they will stay far away from our team.

So we all make the promise to cure each other with the vaccine.

And if someone doesn't?

Let's say, for example…

that you're a zombie.

Hold this.

And for the sake of argument, let's say that you also hold a Vaccine card.

And then, you play your Zombie card

and reveal yourself to your opponent.

And then he's the one who becomes a zombie.

At that moment, you can then promise to use your Vaccine card to cure him.

So, what do you think will happen now?

What?

You confessed to your opponent that you're a zombie.

What do you think will happen?

You've just told everyone they can kill you at any time.

Make an alliance with your opponent by using yourself as a hostage?

Very good.

And, of course, you will keep your promise that you just made

because you don't wanna die.

If you break it, it's like you're giving everyone a license to kill you.

My zombie friend has accepted to deliberately become a human hostage.

We repeat the same process and promise with multiple people.

And in this way, we create a unified group built on trust.

We build this trust by making the same promise to everyone we play.

If you become a zombie, we promise to cure you with the vaccine.

But we've only got one Vaccine card.

I know. But we'll get other Vaccine card holders to join us.

There won't be enough cards.

Well, you see, the beauty is

nobody knows how many Vaccine cards there are.

All we have to do

is make everybody else believe that we have enough cards.

Just enough Vaccine cards to save everybody.

And that way, the zombies won't come near us.

And that way, we increase our number. And we clear the game.

And do you think that somewhere out there,

someone holds both a Zombie card and a Vaccine card?

Well, naturally, that would be me.

-[chuckles] -[man 3] Huh?

So, I guess that explains why you came to see us?

Yep! I wanted to test my sales pitch.

So, what's your name?

Rei.

[dynamic music playing]

[Arisu] We'll share the Vaccine card…

[Rei] The first thing that we need to do

is to explain our "trust barricade" strategy to all the other groups.

[Arisu] Then the zombies will be afraid to approach us.

They're afraid because, even if they use their Zombie card on us,

that will expose them as zombies and they run the risk of getting shot.

So, if we can increase the number of players

in our trust barricade strategy,

then we can win.

I get it.

Okay, I'm in.

The team from below is promising to use their Vaccine card on each other

in order to win the game.

By using the vaccine, they can turn a zombie back into a human.

I really don't trust those people.

I heard they're sharing information about the players who turned into zombies.

What it means is, if you turn a member of their team into a zombie,

they will share your identity and use it to have you killed.

So, just between you and me, earlier during one of the games,

a player turned one of their team into a zombie.

When they found out who that player was…

Well, that person didn't last too long.

[man 16] Seriously?

[man 2] Apparently, that group made a promise

that even if you become a zombie, they'll cure you using their Vaccine cards.

[man 1] At this stage of the game, it might be safer just to join that group.

-They've got some balls. -I know.

Do you really think this trust barricade strategy will work?

Just sit back and hold my beer.

[Arisu] We'll manage the arrival of the new members on the ground floor.

-My name's Miyano. -[man 17] Okay. Mi-ya-no.

[Miyano] Yes, sir. I have a Vaccine card.

[man 17] Good. You're the third person. And you?

[Arisu] First, we'll try to play games between teammates.

We can share our number cards as we play.

In other words, we'll lose to players who have fewer cards.

Additionally, winners can take cards with smaller numbers from the losers.

In that way, zombies will only battle against other zombies.

If we keep to our plan, zombies won't proliferate,

and we won't have to kill each other.

We won't run out of number cards either.

And if we keep doing this,

we'll increase the number of Vaccine card holders.

[music fades]

[muffled voices]

[man 18] It's already the 11th round.

[woman 9] At this stage, maybe we should join that group on the lower floor?

[man 18] I heard they've collected all the Vaccine cards.

[woman 9] We don't know if that's true.

[all talking]

[man 19] The infected humans ought to be sequestered.

[man 10] We won't be able to gather any more Vaccine cards.

I mean, we don't even know how many cards there are in total.

Threatening zombies with death just isn't enough anymore.

But there is another way of increasing our chances of survival.

What is it?

We simply reduce the zombie population.

[quiet, ominous music playing]

That's not a bad idea.

[man 4] Hey. This guy turned into a zombie.

-[man 8] Okay, put him in there. -[sighs]

[sighs]

So who was it that turned you into a zombie? Do you remember?

-Yeah, I remember. -Good.

Let's use a shotgun.

What about you?

Do you think you can handle this?

You'll get vaccine priority.

[man 20 breathing shakily]

[computer] Players, please place your cards.

[ominous music continues]

[gasping]

[gasping unsteadily]

Show your cards.

[music stops]

-[gasps] -[whirring]

-[gunshot] -[gasps]

[thud]

[man 21 gasping]

What are you doing? There's no way you can get outta here!

What's with the gun? What are you doing? I'm your partner!

Stop! [screams]

[gunshot echoing]

[tense music playing]

Mr. Kazuya… you've got blood on…

It had to be done.

This is the game.

[gasps]

[man 8 laughs]

Hey! Good job, man! [laughs]

Just what you'd expect from a true yakuza.

Listen up, everyone!

The people who were turned into zombies have information about the other zombies.

It's time to get that information from the other groups.

-[laughs] -How do we do that?

You threaten them with Shotgun cards. [scoffs]

That'll make 'em talk!

[dramatic music playing]

[man 10] I think I like you, bro. When all this is done, come work with me.

[man 22 whimpering]

[yelps]

[screams]

[groans]

[whimpers]

[shrieks] No! No!

The other zombies, where are they?

Tell me and we'll help you get vaccine priority.

Okay, I'll tell you! I'll tell you where to find the other zombies.

If they find out we're zombies, we're dead.

[gasps] We need to get outta here.

Listen to me.

It's better if we track them down and turn them into zombies.

Anyone will do now. Just do it!

-Come on. Let's go. -Okay.

[sighs]

[computer] Show your cards.

-[man 1 breathing shakily] -[sniffs]

[man 1 gasps]

[gasping]

[Arisu] Things are getting out of hand.

[Rei] Yep, they really are.

Don't you even care?

All I care about is that the trust barricade is safe. Don't you?

Yeah, but because of this, the other zombies will come after us.

And finally, this game is about to become interesting.

[laughs]
