[Jin-su] I'm sick and tired of these loan sharks.

I didn't want to borrow from them in the first place.

When will you leave this shithole?

Our pal Won-seok trusted me with his money.

54
00:02:20,223 --> 00:02:23,143
Guess how much he made. You wanna know?

55
00:02:23,226 --> 00:02:27,397
He got a loan for 500 mil, and I turned that into three billion.

56
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,440
He was able to retire after that.

57
00:02:30,775 --> 00:02:33,486
Look, you can save all your measly paychecks,

58

but where will that get you?

59
00:02:35,488 --> 00:02:37,115
You'll never buy a house at that rate.

60
00:02:37,699 --> 00:02:41,077
Our generation won't get rich playing by the old rules.

61

You wanna make bank, invest with me. Don't you want a piece of the pie too?

62

[Jin-su] All day, news rattles on about small businesses going under.

73

That doesn't stop hundreds of new shops from opening.

Because we're all deluded.

We think losing's for other people.

-[whirring] -Huh? Shit! What… Hey…

316
00:17:48,734 --> 00:17:49,651
THE SHOW BEGINS NOW

317
00:17:49,735 --> 00:17:50,611
What?

318
00:17:51,236 --> 00:17:52,237
[grunts]

319
00:17:53,989 --> 00:17:55,240
[gasps] Wait…

320
00:17:55,324 --> 00:17:57,159
Jeez. What the hell?

321
00:17:58,744 --> 00:18:00,120
Hey, one sec. No…

322

-[beep] -[whirring]

00:18:09,630 --> 00:18:10,881
Ah shit…

325
00:18:10,964 --> 00:18:13,801
-The fuck? Jeez… -[music fades]

326
00:18:13,884 --> 00:18:16,303
God, this place is full of surprises.

327
00:18:27,981 --> 00:18:29,650
-[quirky music playing] -What the…

328
00:18:30,818 --> 00:18:33,987
The pockets are printed on? Who's behind this shit?

329
00:18:35,364 --> 00:18:36,698
[bleep]

330
00:18:40,911 --> 00:18:42,246
What now?

331
00:18:42,871 --> 00:18:44,164
That's money.

332
00:18:45,666 --> 00:18:47,668
[mysterious music playing]

333
00:18:51,797 --> 00:18:52,923
[bleep]

334
00:19:05,978 --> 00:19:07,062
It went up.

335
00:19:09,648 --> 00:19:10,566
[loud tick]

336
00:19:11,275 --> 00:19:12,317
[bleep]

337
00:19:13,694 --> 00:19:15,737
[mysterious music continues]

338
00:19:18,615 --> 00:19:19,700
[yelps]

339
00:19:21,159 --> 00:19:22,202
[laughs and shrieks]

340
00:19:22,286 --> 00:19:24,037
[thinks] 90K. I just made 90K!

341
00:19:24,121 --> 00:19:27,040
-Yes! -That's 30,000 won a minute. Fuck, yeah!

342
00:19:27,124 --> 00:19:28,208
Yes!

343
00:19:29,251 --> 00:19:32,212
[loud ticking]

344
00:19:32,296 --> 00:19:34,089
[upbeat jazz playing]

345
00:19:34,173 --> 00:19:35,924
1 HOUR LATER (56 MINUTES TO BE EXACT)

346
00:19:40,554 --> 00:19:43,599
[thinks] I can't believe this is happening. So, let's see.

347
00:19:43,682 --> 00:19:46,018
I've been here for just under an hour.

348
00:19:46,101 --> 00:19:48,687
That means my hourly wage here is…

349
00:19:48,770 --> 00:19:50,355
1.8 million won.

350
00:19:50,439 --> 00:19:52,774
Okay, okay. I need to calm down. Let me think here.

351
00:19:52,858 --> 00:19:55,068
It said 24 hours on the scoreboard outside.

352
00:19:55,152 --> 00:19:57,779
How much do I make a day? 180 times 24…

353
00:19:57,863 --> 00:20:00,032
Then tack on the zeroes… How much is that?

354
00:20:00,115 --> 00:20:04,912
One sec. Uh, so, two times 18, four times, and…

355
00:20:05,871 --> 00:20:08,957
Hold up. That's over 40 million won.

356
00:20:09,041 --> 00:20:12,336
Fuck! You could make that much in a year and live pretty damn well.

357
00:20:12,419 --> 00:20:13,462
Hell, yeah, Jin-su!

358
00:20:13,545 --> 00:20:16,882
Yeah! Comin' on this show's the best decision you ever made.

359
00:20:17,549 --> 00:20:18,884
[breathing shakily]

360
00:20:20,052 --> 00:20:22,054
What if I can only stay one day?

361
00:20:22,137 --> 00:20:24,640
Ugh, it doesn't give a timeline.

362
00:20:26,558 --> 00:20:29,770
If I can stay here for a couple of weeks, I'll be able to pay off my debt.

363
00:20:29,853 --> 00:20:31,355
I've gotta take a leak.

364
00:20:32,147 --> 00:20:34,650
Oh, is the bathroom out in the square? Shit.

365
00:20:36,777 --> 00:20:38,987
YOU MUST STAY IN YOUR ROOMS FROM MIDNIGHT TO 8 A.M.

366
00:20:39,071 --> 00:20:41,281
BREAKING A RULE DEDUCTS HALF OF THE PRIZE MONEY

367
00:20:41,865 --> 00:20:43,283
Is this worth it?

368
00:20:43,367 --> 00:20:44,952
Oh, hey, there. I just…

369
00:20:45,035 --> 00:20:46,995
I need to… I need to use the toilet?

370
00:20:47,079 --> 00:20:49,414
Could I just step outside for, like, one second?

371
00:20:51,250 --> 00:20:53,502
Are you there? Hey… [sighs]

372
00:20:54,294 --> 00:20:57,297
Are they for real? I'm not allowed to piss in a toilet? [scoffs]

373
00:20:58,966 --> 00:21:03,136
[panting] Hey, could you at least help me turn on the heater in here? It's…

374
00:21:03,220 --> 00:21:05,764
Well, it's pretty cold in here.

375
00:21:06,932 --> 00:21:09,643
I-- Did I lose you? Hey, are you still on the line?

376
00:21:09,726 --> 00:21:10,644
[sighs]

377
00:21:10,727 --> 00:21:12,854
"You can buy things you need."

378
00:21:12,938 --> 00:21:15,399
[Jin-su] Of course. I knew there had to be a catch.

379
00:21:15,482 --> 00:21:18,402
Who would give away millions of won without some strings attached?

380
00:21:18,485 --> 00:21:20,112
They want me to spend my prize money.

381
00:21:20,195 --> 00:21:21,405
-Is that it? -[picks up phone]

382
00:21:21,488 --> 00:21:22,739
Hello, uh…

383
00:21:23,323 --> 00:21:26,618
Could I buy… a blanket and a hand-warming pack?

384
00:21:27,536 --> 00:21:28,912
[click]

385
00:21:30,205 --> 00:21:33,083
Oh! No, no, hold on. That can't… that can't be right. Wait. Don't…

386
00:21:33,166 --> 00:21:35,043
Uh… Cancel. Sorry. N. N!

387
00:21:35,127 --> 00:21:36,878
No, no. There. Sorry.

388
00:21:37,963 --> 00:21:41,591
You… Well, we must've had a little misunderstanding, I guess.

389
00:21:41,675 --> 00:21:44,303
Yeah, I just want one hand warmer, and one blanket.

390
00:21:44,386 --> 00:21:48,682
You charged me for a whole box, I think. So, one hand warmer, one blanket.

391
00:21:48,765 --> 00:21:51,435
That's it. Thank you. Now, how much will that be?

392
00:21:51,518 --> 00:21:52,644
[click]

393
00:21:52,728 --> 00:21:54,730
One mil-- Wait. That's insane.

394
00:21:55,772 --> 00:21:57,065
One point…

395
00:21:57,149 --> 00:21:59,151
What the… There must be some mistake.

396
00:21:59,234 --> 00:22:01,486
Uh… uh… Just give me a sec.

397
00:22:03,864 --> 00:22:06,950
BUT THE ITEM COST WILL BE DEDUCTED AT A SPECIAL RATE

398
00:22:07,034 --> 00:22:08,660
"At a special rate…"

399
00:22:08,744 --> 00:22:11,288
Um, let me cancel the order. Just cancel it. Let me think.

400
00:22:11,371 --> 00:22:12,581
I'll call you back.

401
00:22:13,582 --> 00:22:14,583
Huh.

402
00:22:14,666 --> 00:22:17,627
[thinks] I finally understand the rules of this show.

403
00:22:18,295 --> 00:22:22,424
I'm making 43 million won a day, or 1.8 million an hour.

404
00:22:22,507 --> 00:22:24,634
Let's figure out the special rate.

405
00:22:25,969 --> 00:22:29,306
How much is a newspaper? Just a regular daily paper from a store?

406
00:22:29,389 --> 00:22:30,223
[click]

407
00:22:30,307 --> 00:22:33,810
[thinks] I know that paper would've cost 1,000 won back at the convenience store.

408
00:22:33,894 --> 00:22:36,229
So that's the "special rate."

409
00:22:36,313 --> 00:22:38,774
Everything for sale is a hundred times more expensive here.

410
00:22:38,857 --> 00:22:40,525
Evens out my new wage.

411
00:22:40,609 --> 00:22:41,902
I get it now.

412
00:22:41,985 --> 00:22:44,863
I understand the point of this show.

413
00:22:44,946 --> 00:22:48,158
Ha! Clever! They're testing me to see just how far I can go

414
00:22:48,241 --> 00:22:49,868
while spending as little as possible.

415
00:22:49,951 --> 00:22:53,330
Whoever's behind this, they've got no fucking clue who they're up against.

416
00:22:54,373 --> 00:22:56,124
Come on. They thought I'd go…

417
00:22:56,208 --> 00:22:58,418
"Oh, I'm so cold! I'll give you anything!"

418
00:22:58,502 --> 00:23:02,172
[thinks] Like some whiny brat! Hah! Please. I'm a pro at being poor.

419
00:23:05,217 --> 00:23:08,345
I'd like… a pound of discarded newspapers.

420
00:23:08,428 --> 00:23:11,932
And then a bunch of boxes too. Used cardboard, okay?

421
00:23:13,683 --> 00:23:14,976
[click]

422
00:23:15,060 --> 00:23:18,063
Yep, that'll do. Yes, sir.

423
00:23:18,980 --> 00:23:21,817
120,000, four times three is 12…

424
00:23:21,900 --> 00:23:23,819
So that's four minutes of my time.

425
00:23:25,237 --> 00:23:26,363
Okay.

426
00:23:27,864 --> 00:23:29,616
[rustling]

427
00:23:32,619 --> 00:23:33,995
[sighs]

428
00:23:34,079 --> 00:23:35,789
Ah, this rocks.

429
00:23:37,249 --> 00:23:38,667
Ah, this is great.

430
00:23:39,626 --> 00:23:42,671
[thinks] Buying this stuff was the cost of doing business. That's okay.

431
00:23:42,754 --> 00:23:45,382
All right. I barely spent anything.

432
00:23:45,465 --> 00:23:48,510
I won't spend any more, and tomorrow, I'll take home 43 million.

433
00:23:48,593 --> 00:23:50,387
I'll be so rich…

434
00:23:53,515 --> 00:23:55,392
I'll be so rich…

435
00:23:56,184 --> 00:23:57,853
-[crickets chirping] -[snoring]

436
00:24:01,898 --> 00:24:03,775
Hello? Hello!

437
00:24:05,277 --> 00:24:07,946
Please, help me. Please, get me a plastic bottle right now.

438
00:24:08,029 --> 00:24:09,781
Mm-hmm! Bottle!

439
00:24:09,865 --> 00:24:10,699
Yes! Yes!

440
00:24:11,575 --> 00:24:12,534
Ah!

441
00:24:13,535 --> 00:24:14,619

Oh man, they made a fake sunrise?

444
00:24:32,137 --> 00:24:34,181
[groaning softly]

445
00:24:42,772 --> 00:24:44,941
-[ticking] -[thinks] "Time is very valuable."

446
00:24:45,025 --> 00:24:46,485
"Your time is money."

447
00:24:47,152 --> 00:24:49,446
-Boomers love saying that kinda crap. -[bleep]

448
00:24:49,529 --> 00:24:53,158
What would the "time is money" crowd make of this crazy thing I'm goin' through?

449
00:24:53,241 --> 00:24:56,244
Because in this world, time really, truly, without a doubt,

450
00:24:56,328 --> 00:24:58,455
actually literally is money.

451
00:24:58,538 --> 00:24:59,748
[woman 1] 'Scuse me!

452
00:25:00,707 --> 00:25:02,584
Is everyone in their rooms?

453
00:25:03,418 --> 00:25:06,713
Can everyone come out here so we can introduce ourselves?

454
00:25:06,796 --> 00:25:08,298
[Jin-su thinks] Someone's here.

455
00:25:08,798 --> 00:25:10,592
[woman 1] Are we all accounted for?

456
00:25:10,675 --> 00:25:12,385
Don't be shy, people, come on out.

457
00:25:12,469 --> 00:25:13,887
Over here, over here!

458
00:25:13,970 --> 00:25:16,348
-[laughs] -[Jin-su thinks] Wow. Three other people.

459
00:25:17,098 --> 00:25:18,808
Uh, sure.

[suspenseful jazz playing]

00:25:30,195 --> 00:25:31,905
Hey, uh, how…

462
00:25:31,988 --> 00:25:34,032
Wait, how are you walking on the water?

463
00:25:34,115 --> 00:25:36,451
It's fake. This is all fake. You see?

464
00:25:36,534 --> 00:25:39,538
-Look up there, that's our "sunlight." -[projector whirring]

465
00:25:41,122 --> 00:25:44,292
[5th Floor] Have you seen the scoreboard yet? Come on, let's go see.

466
00:25:44,376 --> 00:25:46,795
[gasps] Look at the time.

467
00:25:46,878 --> 00:25:48,171
[Jin-su] They added more.

468
00:25:48,838 --> 00:25:51,258
It was only at 24 hours yesterday.

-Nice to meet you. -[man groans]

00:26:13,154 --> 00:26:14,322
[6th Floor coughs]

475
00:26:15,156 --> 00:26:16,116
[4th Floor laughs]

476
00:26:20,662 --> 00:26:22,789
-[scoffs] -Hey, what do you think?

477
00:26:22,872 --> 00:26:25,875
Will they keep adding hours every day that we're in here?

478
00:26:25,959 --> 00:26:27,377
[Jin-su] Oh, good question.

479
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:33,258
[woman groans] If they keep tacking on more and more hours,

480
00:26:33,341 --> 00:26:36,386
well, we might just find ourselves trapped in here forever.

481
00:26:42,392 --> 00:26:44,811
Uh… why are you dressed like…

482
00:26:45,395 --> 00:26:46,229
Uh…

483
00:26:47,772 --> 00:26:49,357
[man] I don't think that'll be the case.

484
00:26:49,441 --> 00:26:51,651
There's a limit to everything, especially time.

485
00:26:51,735 --> 00:26:54,988
They haven't given us too many rules yet. The time must mean something.

486
00:26:55,071 --> 00:26:57,699
I'm sure there are still many rules we don't know.

487
00:26:57,782 --> 00:26:59,409
[8th Floor] Oh, really?

488
00:27:00,452 --> 00:27:02,370
Well, then, I guess I don't know.

489
00:27:02,454 --> 00:27:04,456
[suspenseful jazz continues]

490
00:27:05,749 --> 00:27:07,000
Hmm.

491
00:27:08,251 --> 00:27:10,503
[5th Floor] So, do you think this is everyone now?

492
00:27:10,587 --> 00:27:12,547
One, two, three…

493
00:27:12,630 --> 00:27:15,342
Hold on. There should be eight of us down here.

494
00:27:16,384 --> 00:27:17,677
[6th Floor] Hey, you.

495
00:27:22,390 --> 00:27:23,850
[5th Floor] Hey, new friend!

496
00:27:23,933 --> 00:27:26,353
What are you doing up there? Come down!

497
00:27:28,021 --> 00:27:31,149
I suppose she must be a bit on the shy side, right? Don't you think?

498
00:27:31,232 --> 00:27:33,902
She could be shy, or just kinda rude…

499
00:27:36,571 --> 00:27:37,739
[laughs]

500
00:27:38,823 --> 00:27:41,618
[5th Floor] Okay, so, I see you're on the second floor.

501
00:27:41,701 --> 00:27:43,953
And you are on the eighth.

502
00:27:44,579 --> 00:27:46,456
Um… third floor.

503
00:27:46,539 --> 00:27:48,541
-[Jin-su] Yeah. -Sweetie, you're on the fourth floor.

504
00:27:48,625 --> 00:27:51,878
I'm fifth. He's sixth, he's seventh.

505
00:27:52,462 --> 00:27:54,839
So, who's on first? Does… someone…

506
00:27:54,923 --> 00:27:56,174
[man] Good morning!

507
00:27:59,719 --> 00:28:01,346
Looks like I'm the last one here.

508
00:28:02,055 --> 00:28:05,225
-Sorry, I tend to be on the slow side. -[Jin-su] Hey.

509
00:28:05,934 --> 00:28:08,019
-[Jin-su] Do you need a hand? -Oh, gosh, no, I'm good.

510
00:28:08,103 --> 00:28:09,479
I'm used to it. It's okay.

511
00:28:09,562 --> 00:28:11,856
Oh, I'm, uh, I'm staying on the first floor.

512
00:28:11,940 --> 00:28:14,901
-My name is, uh… -[2nd Floor] Why bother with names?

513
00:28:14,984 --> 00:28:16,861
We'll never see each other again.

514
00:28:17,570 --> 00:28:18,947
I'm 2nd Floor, 'kay?

515
00:28:19,030 --> 00:28:22,992
That works for me. It would be impossible to remember everyone's names.

516
00:28:23,660 --> 00:28:28,373
Sorry, do any of you know where I might happen to find a bathroom here?

517
00:28:28,456 --> 00:28:30,542
-[2nd Floor] There's no pisser. -[Jin-su] Huh?

518
00:28:40,343 --> 00:28:41,261
[Jin-su grunts]

519
00:28:42,470 --> 00:28:44,973
-Hmm. It's plastic. -[suspenseful music playing]

520
00:28:45,056 --> 00:28:46,349
[hollow taps]

521
00:28:48,143 --> 00:28:49,394
It's all plastic.

522
00:28:49,477 --> 00:28:50,687
Nothing here is real.

523
00:28:50,770 --> 00:28:52,063
Oh, that's odd.

524
00:28:53,690 --> 00:28:54,774
[chuckles]

525
00:28:58,486 --> 00:28:59,821
[giggling]

526
00:29:00,905 --> 00:29:02,282
-[Jin-su] Huh? -[4th Floor] What…

527
00:29:02,365 --> 00:29:03,408
[6th Floor] Really?

528
00:29:04,617 --> 00:29:07,871
-[7th Floor] Wow… -[Jin-su] What the…

529
00:29:07,954 --> 00:29:09,581
It really is fake.

530
00:29:09,664 --> 00:29:11,875
Imitations that look real.

531
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:17,672
So does this mean the bathrooms are fake too?

532
00:29:17,755 --> 00:29:19,257
[7th Floor] I'm afraid so.

533
00:29:19,340 --> 00:29:21,634
[Jin-su groans] That's a step too far.

534
00:29:21,718 --> 00:29:24,971
[7th Floor] It seems they must have removed the existing plumbing.

535
00:29:26,306 --> 00:29:28,433
It looks somewhat functional but isn't.

536
00:29:29,642 --> 00:29:31,728
And the same goes for our uniforms.

537
00:29:32,771 --> 00:29:36,691
They look classy at first, but there's no real substance.

538
00:29:37,233 --> 00:29:39,819
Yeah, they could've at least given us real pockets. Man.

539
00:29:39,903 --> 00:29:41,821
It's so silly. They're just outlines.

540
00:29:41,905 --> 00:29:44,157
Oh, it's the worst. I didn't know where to put my key.

541
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,911
I had no pockets, so I thought maybe…

542
00:29:47,994 --> 00:29:50,663
sticking it in my boxers was the best choice for now.

543
00:29:50,747 --> 00:29:51,956
Yeah, that works.

544
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,709
But, uh, what do we do without toilets?

545
00:29:56,794 --> 00:30:01,341
Yesterday, you know, I figured we'd just be here for a day.

546
00:30:01,424 --> 00:30:05,637
So I bought those waste bags that campers and truckers use.

547
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:07,847
-Ah… -You just do your business and go.

548
00:30:08,556 --> 00:30:09,641
-[Jin-su] I see. -What?

549
00:30:09,724 --> 00:30:12,310
-Yeah. -Where do you put it when you're done?

550
00:30:12,393 --> 00:30:14,103
You leave it in your room?

551
00:30:14,187 --> 00:30:16,564
Well, we can't take anything we buy in our rooms outside,

552
00:30:16,648 --> 00:30:17,982
so I guess so.

553
00:30:18,650 --> 00:30:22,403
So that means we'll just be buying them each day.

554
00:30:22,487 --> 00:30:24,739
Plus, they all cost way more than normal.

555
00:30:24,822 --> 00:30:27,992
[7th Floor] Or we might not have to follow that course of action.

556
00:30:28,076 --> 00:30:29,702
There is another way.

557
00:30:29,786 --> 00:30:32,330
"Items to be used outside the room can be purchased in the square

558
00:30:32,413 --> 00:30:34,832
via the intercom in the common area."

559
00:30:34,916 --> 00:30:36,960
"A special rate will still apply."

560
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,048
Rule book, second paragraph, somewhere on the fourth page.

561
00:30:42,131 --> 00:30:45,343
Are you sure we should buy stuff together?

562
00:30:46,177 --> 00:30:49,305
What if it's even more expensive in the square? What's the rate?

563
00:30:50,765 --> 00:30:51,891
I'm not sure.

564
00:30:52,892 --> 00:30:55,770
We know that the rate in our rooms is multiplied by a hundred,

565
00:30:55,853 --> 00:30:59,274
which means the showrunners don't want us to access too many resources.

566
00:31:00,108 --> 00:31:03,278
Anything we buy in our rooms has to stay there, or we'll be penalized.

567
00:31:03,361 --> 00:31:05,196
And there's a big delivery chute here.

568
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:09,576
Therefore, I'm going to assume they want us to buy things together.

569
00:31:09,659 --> 00:31:12,579
Well, maybe we should buy something, then.

570
00:31:12,662 --> 00:31:15,164
-It'll be like a test. -Do we have to?

571
00:31:15,248 --> 00:31:17,041
I… I'm kind of scared.

572
00:31:17,792 --> 00:31:19,836
There's no place to see our scores down here.

573
00:31:19,919 --> 00:31:23,631
So, what if we pay a ton, but we don't realize it?

574
00:31:23,715 --> 00:31:26,718
That's a good point. How about we all take a vote on it?

575
00:31:26,801 --> 00:31:28,469
It's only fair. What do you think?

576
00:31:28,553 --> 00:31:30,555
Why waste time doing a damn vote? Let's just try it.

577
00:31:32,098 --> 00:31:34,183
-[4th Floor] Oh… -[sighs]

578
00:31:34,267 --> 00:31:35,768
Marlboro Reds, down to the square.

579
00:31:35,852 --> 00:31:37,186
-A lighter, too. -What the hell?

580
00:31:37,270 --> 00:31:40,982
-The fuck you think you're doing, dude? -What? We were gonna buy shit anyway.

581
00:31:49,991 --> 00:31:50,867
[Jin-su] Oh…

582
00:31:51,451 --> 00:31:53,494
-[clink] -[1st Floor] Oh! Did you guys see that?

583
00:31:53,578 --> 00:31:55,371
The time just went down. Look up.

584
00:31:55,455 --> 00:31:57,123
As soon as we got the pack,

585
00:31:57,624 --> 00:32:00,126
the scoreboard blinked, and it changed.

586
00:32:00,209 --> 00:32:01,461
How much did it go down?

587
00:32:01,544 --> 00:32:05,340
It… was 30 minutes, now it's 28.

588
00:32:05,423 --> 00:32:07,800
That means in the square, we purchase items with time itself,

589
00:32:07,884 --> 00:32:10,053
not money, like in our rooms.

590
00:32:10,136 --> 00:32:11,846
How much do a pack of Marlboros and lighter--

591
00:32:11,929 --> 00:32:12,972
[Jin-su] Five thousand.

592
00:32:13,932 --> 00:32:17,977
Marlboro Reds are 4,500 won, a lighter is 500 won, so 5,000.

593
00:32:18,061 --> 00:32:22,398
Yeah… 5,000 won equals two minutes. A minute's worth 2,500.

594
00:32:22,482 --> 00:32:24,859
Does that mean it's a better idea to buy things together?

595
00:32:25,443 --> 00:32:29,238
Since if we'd have bought that in our rooms, we'd have paid half a million?

596
00:32:29,322 --> 00:32:31,324
-Right. -You think this affected our money too?

597
00:32:32,450 --> 00:32:34,744
[4th Floor squeals] The prize money's the same!

598
00:32:34,827 --> 00:32:37,080
-Hey, wait-- -All of my money's still up there!

599
00:32:37,163 --> 00:32:39,874
-[1st Floor] When did she go? -[Jin-su] When did you run up the stairs?

600
00:32:39,957 --> 00:32:44,045
[4th Floor] I ran up when he bought stuff without any sort of plan.

601
00:32:44,128 --> 00:32:46,589
So, I just wanted to make sure.

602
00:32:47,090 --> 00:32:49,258
It's fine, though. I got scared for nothing.

603
00:32:49,342 --> 00:32:52,804
Then, using the shared chute, we can buy everything we need.

604
00:32:53,972 --> 00:32:55,515
And when the time runs out?

605
00:32:59,018 --> 00:33:00,770
We have 35 hours on the clock.

606
00:33:00,853 --> 00:33:05,149
If we blow it all on shopping sprees, it'll go too fast and the show'll be over.

607
00:33:05,942 --> 00:33:07,235
[7th Floor] Yeah, that's correct.

608
00:33:07,318 --> 00:33:10,863
We don't know when they'll give us more time, or how it's gonna happen.

609
00:33:11,614 --> 00:33:14,701
But when I look around and see the size of this place, and the prize money…

610
00:33:14,784 --> 00:33:16,494
all the money they poured here…

611
00:33:17,745 --> 00:33:21,124
I doubt they built all this just to kick us out after a day or two.

612
00:33:22,375 --> 00:33:25,461
[2nd Floor] Rich people hate spending money, though. They're all fucking stingy.

613
00:33:25,545 --> 00:33:27,463
The longer they keep the show running,

614
00:33:28,339 --> 00:33:30,425
the bigger the prize pot will get.

615
00:33:30,508 --> 00:33:32,552
[Jin-su] That's true, but…

616
00:33:32,635 --> 00:33:35,263
the uber-rich can make a profit in their sleep.

617
00:33:35,346 --> 00:33:36,597
Their money makes money for 'em.

618
00:33:36,681 --> 00:33:38,975
I mean, I've heard of oil tycoons spending a fortune

619
00:33:39,058 --> 00:33:41,269
just to rake their names into the desert sand.

620
00:33:41,352 --> 00:33:42,270
They're that rich.

621
00:33:42,353 --> 00:33:45,857
They shell out hundreds of billions to visit space like it's nothing.

622
00:33:45,940 --> 00:33:49,569
The amount they're spending on this show could be pocket change.

623
00:33:50,361 --> 00:33:52,822
Shit. My ass is too poor to think that way.

624
00:33:52,905 --> 00:33:56,743
First off, I think we should sit down as a group, and discuss what to buy.

625
00:33:57,326 --> 00:33:59,704
-Only the essentials, okay? -[5th Floor] Okay.

626
00:33:59,787 --> 00:34:01,748
[Jin-su] We decided to figure out what to buy.

627
00:34:01,831 --> 00:34:03,583
That turned out to be easier said than done.

628
00:34:03,666 --> 00:34:07,628
So, my room's got this really dry air, so maybe we can get some toner and lotion?

629
00:34:07,712 --> 00:34:09,297
[Jin-su] A necessity to one person…

630
00:34:09,380 --> 00:34:10,798
I never wear that crap, though.

631
00:34:10,882 --> 00:34:12,550
[Jin-su] …just seems silly to someone else.

632
00:34:12,633 --> 00:34:15,720
We should all get some pillows, since we all need them for sleeping.

633
00:34:15,803 --> 00:34:17,555
[Jin-su] One person's core essential…

634
00:34:17,638 --> 00:34:18,848
I already bought one.

635
00:34:19,432 --> 00:34:20,892
How could you sleep last night?

636
00:34:20,975 --> 00:34:24,312
We should add pens and paper to the list, since we can all use those.

637
00:34:24,395 --> 00:34:26,355
Hmm? Why? None of us are in school.

638
00:34:26,439 --> 00:34:28,232
[Jin-su] …is totally useless to another.

639
00:34:28,316 --> 00:34:30,359
I need to get sanitary pads.

640
00:34:30,943 --> 00:34:32,904
[Jin-su] We put our brains together to hash it out.

641
00:34:32,987 --> 00:34:35,948
Eight Homo sapiens, wielding our collective brainpower

642
00:34:36,032 --> 00:34:38,367
honed by millions of years of evolution.

643
00:34:41,078 --> 00:34:44,332
After much debate, we bought eight plastic buckets,

644
00:34:44,415 --> 00:34:46,626
eight rolls of toilet paper, four packs of pads,

645
00:34:46,709 --> 00:34:48,711
four garbage bags, two types each,

646
00:34:48,795 --> 00:34:51,297
and, of course, four packs of cigarettes.

647
00:34:51,380 --> 00:34:52,840
For the good of the smokers.

648
00:34:52,924 --> 00:34:55,092
So then… these are our toilets?

649
00:34:55,176 --> 00:34:56,677
-Yeah. -[Jin-su retches]

650
00:35:02,517 --> 00:35:03,601
-[Jin-su sighs] -[farting]

651
00:35:03,684 --> 00:35:07,146
Jeez. All that fuckin' talk just to get a place to shit.

652
00:35:15,238 --> 00:35:18,157
36 MINUTES LATER (AFTER TENDING TO PERSONAL NEEDS)

653
00:35:18,241 --> 00:35:21,744
[4th Floor] You guys, when do you think they'll give us some food?

654
00:35:21,828 --> 00:35:24,163
I'm starving to death over here, for real.

655
00:35:25,248 --> 00:35:27,208
[5th Floor sighs] Yeah, same here.

656
00:35:27,291 --> 00:35:29,877
I didn't even have dinner last night. I'm so hungry.

657
00:35:29,961 --> 00:35:32,296
They told us they'd provide food and drinks and stuff.

658
00:35:32,380 --> 00:35:34,006
What's taking so long?

659
00:35:34,090 --> 00:35:37,260
What? Why haven't you eaten anything?

660
00:35:38,136 --> 00:35:39,554
They brought me lots of food.

661
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:44,267
Where was it?

662
00:35:44,350 --> 00:35:47,186
Hmm… The chute thing in my room.

663
00:35:47,270 --> 00:35:48,813
[bell chimes]

664
00:35:48,896 --> 00:35:50,773
It brought me a whole feast.

665
00:35:51,399 --> 00:35:53,860
There were all these meal kits, and some waters.

666
00:35:53,943 --> 00:35:56,904
So you got multiple meals? Just how many?

667
00:35:57,655 --> 00:36:00,783
12 lunchboxes and 12 water bottles.

668
00:36:00,867 --> 00:36:03,411
Wait, 12 of each? Did you eat 'em all? All 12 meal kits?

669
00:36:03,494 --> 00:36:05,288
Well, each meal was a little bit different,

670
00:36:05,371 --> 00:36:08,416
so I just tried a bite of each one and saved the rest.

671
00:36:08,499 --> 00:36:10,418
And used the water to wash up.

672
00:36:10,501 --> 00:36:12,837
-Huh? -[sighs]

673
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,548
Well, I felt grimy after such a long day.

674
00:36:15,631 --> 00:36:18,551
But there was just enough in those bottles to wash up with.

675
00:36:19,218 --> 00:36:20,803
[4th Floor] What the hell?

676
00:36:21,470 --> 00:36:24,765
Hey, wait a sec. Hey. They gave you 12 of everything.

677
00:36:24,849 --> 00:36:27,101
That clearly wasn't all meant for one single person to use.

678
00:36:27,185 --> 00:36:28,936
How could you just keep all that for yourself?

679
00:36:29,020 --> 00:36:30,354
Wouldn't you?

680
00:36:32,356 --> 00:36:34,483
[Jin-su sighs] Of course not. No.

681
00:36:34,567 --> 00:36:36,319
Come on. Use some common sense.

682
00:36:36,402 --> 00:36:39,155
If they gave me 12 of somethin', I'd know to share it with the others.

683
00:36:39,238 --> 00:36:40,448
Hmm…

684
00:36:41,240 --> 00:36:43,451
That does make sense. I see your point.

685
00:36:44,118 --> 00:36:45,620
[suspenseful music playing]

686
00:36:45,703 --> 00:36:47,246
[6th Floor laughing]

687
00:36:53,461 --> 00:36:55,963
Give her a break, 'kay? Uh, she just made a mistake.

688
00:36:56,047 --> 00:36:58,841
It was all delivered to her room, and it was our first day.

689
00:36:58,925 --> 00:37:01,344
She must've thought we all got the same delivery.

690
00:37:01,427 --> 00:37:03,304
8th Floor, if you share what you have left,

691
00:37:03,387 --> 00:37:05,640
that would be the nice thing to do, yeah?

692
00:37:05,723 --> 00:37:07,516
Hmm…

693
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:09,602
"Hmm?" What are you saying?

694
00:37:10,186 --> 00:37:12,730
[thinks] Why is she stalling? She's making me anxious.

695
00:37:12,813 --> 00:37:16,025
[2nd Floor] What's up? So, you're a hog?

696
00:37:16,108 --> 00:37:18,819
You wanna keep it all and stuff your face while the rest of us starve?

697
00:37:19,612 --> 00:37:21,739
-Hmm? -Yeah!

698
00:37:21,822 --> 00:37:24,283
What do you have to be so selfish for? It's not very nice.

699
00:37:24,367 --> 00:37:26,619
Stop playing games with us, Princess.

700
00:37:27,203 --> 00:37:30,206
Oh. It's not like I'm gonna eat it all. I don't want it.

701
00:37:34,001 --> 00:37:36,921
[thinks] Oh, what now? Why is she takin' that off?

702
00:37:37,004 --> 00:37:39,465
I only eat one meal a day anyway.

703
00:37:41,592 --> 00:37:44,220
I'll keep one. Help yourself to all the rest, okay?

704
00:37:44,303 --> 00:37:47,473
I don't care much for food. But I was thinking about the rules…

705
00:37:47,974 --> 00:37:51,936
Don't we have to keep things in our rooms? We can't bring room stuff out here.

706
00:37:52,019 --> 00:37:54,021
So, I'd share with you all if I could.

707
00:37:54,105 --> 00:37:55,314
-How, though? -[clapping]

708
00:37:56,774 --> 00:37:58,943
-[6th Floor laughs] -[5th Floor] All right, all right.

709
00:37:59,026 --> 00:38:01,654
-Get dressed now. That's enough of that. -Hmm.

710
00:38:03,406 --> 00:38:05,825
[7th Floor] She very well could've thought we all had food.

711
00:38:05,908 --> 00:38:09,161
And now we can share whatever's left, so it's no big deal.

712
00:38:09,245 --> 00:38:11,789
Since we're not allowed to leave our rooms with any items,

713
00:38:11,872 --> 00:38:14,417
and they seem to be giving everything to the 8th floor,

714
00:38:14,500 --> 00:38:16,961
I think they want us to use the chutes to distribute food.

715
00:38:17,044 --> 00:38:18,296
What do you mean?

716
00:38:19,255 --> 00:38:20,172
[7th Floor] Look.

717
00:38:23,259 --> 00:38:24,927
See how it's structured?

718
00:38:26,262 --> 00:38:28,597
The chutes in our rooms must all feed into each other.

719
00:38:28,681 --> 00:38:31,225
[2nd Floor] Wait a sec. There's only eight of us here.

720
00:38:32,977 --> 00:38:34,478
Why'd she get 12?

721
00:38:34,562 --> 00:38:38,190
[thinks] She's right. I wonder what that means. Why doesn't it match up?

722
00:38:38,274 --> 00:38:39,483
[1st Floor] So, that means…

723
00:38:40,067 --> 00:38:43,904
if you each take two meals and water bottles, then I'll get none.

724
00:38:45,448 --> 00:38:48,492
-Since I'm the first floor. -Then how will we make sure it's fair?

725
00:38:49,493 --> 00:38:52,955
What would stop the top four floors from each taking three meals,

726
00:38:53,039 --> 00:38:55,875
leaving the rest of us with nothing down on the bottom floors?

727
00:38:57,585 --> 00:39:00,963
[Jin-su] Floor 8 will send things down to 7, who'll send to 6, then 5,

728
00:39:01,047 --> 00:39:03,632
to 4, to me, to 2, and finally to the first floor.

729
00:39:03,716 --> 00:39:07,053
This system creates a hierarchy, separating the top from the bottom.

730
00:39:07,136 --> 00:39:09,597
The lower the floor you're on, the worse off you are.

731
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:11,140
[7th Floor] First, let's go and check

732
00:39:11,223 --> 00:39:13,392
if we can send things down from room to room.

733
00:39:13,476 --> 00:39:15,978
We can figure out how to split things up after that.

734
00:39:16,062 --> 00:39:18,439
8th Floor, if it's not too much trouble,

735
00:39:18,522 --> 00:39:21,108
could you go up and try to send the rest of the food down the chute?

736
00:39:21,192 --> 00:39:22,860
I might as well.

737
00:39:22,943 --> 00:39:25,446
It's not like I have anywhere else to throw it out.

738
00:39:28,282 --> 00:39:30,785
-[7th Floor] Hey, one more thing. -[8th Floor] Hmm?

739
00:39:30,868 --> 00:39:31,952
Could we come?

740
00:39:32,870 --> 00:39:35,039
Do you mind if we all go up with you

741
00:39:35,122 --> 00:39:37,708
so we can all check out the chute together, to see how it works?

742
00:39:39,210 --> 00:39:40,127
All of you?

743
00:39:40,211 --> 00:39:41,879
Since it's the first day.

744
00:39:41,962 --> 00:39:43,631
I'd like to learn the ropes.

745
00:39:44,590 --> 00:39:46,592
Just for future reference, you know?

746
00:39:46,675 --> 00:39:47,718
-Huh… -[4th Floor] I agree.

747
00:39:47,802 --> 00:39:50,262
We wanna trust you, but you gotta admit,

748
00:39:50,346 --> 00:39:52,807
it would be a lot to ask of us to take your word.

749
00:39:52,890 --> 00:39:54,767
Right? This way, we can all see for ourselves

750
00:39:54,850 --> 00:39:56,352
how many meals and bottles there are.

751
00:39:57,686 --> 00:39:59,522
Uh, yeah, but I think, you know,

752
00:39:59,605 --> 00:40:02,191
that maybe we shouldn't barge into her room.

753
00:40:02,274 --> 00:40:04,944
It's not like we're at our home, in our apartments.

754
00:40:05,027 --> 00:40:08,155
We use those rooms as our bathrooms too, and, you know…

755
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:09,532
I've got nothing to hide.

756
00:40:10,491 --> 00:40:11,951
Let's all go look.

757
00:40:12,034 --> 00:40:14,036
[pensive music playing]

758
00:40:16,705 --> 00:40:17,790
Uh…

759
00:40:25,923 --> 00:40:28,676
[7th Floor] If you think about it, they're a scary bunch, right?

760
00:40:28,759 --> 00:40:31,554
-[Jin-su] Who? -[7th Floor] Whoever designed this place.

761
00:40:32,555 --> 00:40:34,682
We have a rule book of sorts, sure,

762
00:40:34,765 --> 00:40:37,601
but it doesn't explain the show, nor what we're actually doing here.

763
00:40:37,685 --> 00:40:39,812
They omitted all the important details.

764
00:40:41,105 --> 00:40:44,483
It feels scarier not to have any clue of what to expect here.

765
00:40:57,329 --> 00:40:59,373
-[Jin-su] Let me. -[1st Floor] Don't worry about me.

766
00:40:59,457 --> 00:41:01,333
[Jin-su] I don't mind. It's a long way up.

767
00:41:02,084 --> 00:41:03,794
-[1st Floor] Thanks for this. -[Jin-su] Sure.

768
00:41:05,421 --> 00:41:07,298
[4th Floor] 3rd Floor, you're so thoughtful.

769
00:41:07,381 --> 00:41:09,133
[5th Floor and 4th Floor panting]

770
00:41:09,216 --> 00:41:10,801
[5th Floor] Oh. She's right.

771
00:41:10,885 --> 00:41:13,345
-This is really kind of you. -[Jin-su] Yeah?

772
00:41:13,429 --> 00:41:16,599
And you were spot-on earlier about the cigarette prices.

773
00:41:16,682 --> 00:41:18,601
-How did you know the exact cost? -[Jin-su] Uh…

774
00:41:18,684 --> 00:41:20,603
I used to work at a convenience store.

775
00:41:20,686 --> 00:41:23,355
I still remember the prices of most things we sold.

776
00:41:23,439 --> 00:41:26,317
-If you're ever curious, just ask. I can… -[4th Floor] Oh.

777
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:27,276
Okay.

778
00:41:28,944 --> 00:41:30,863
Oh my, let me help you out.

779
00:41:30,946 --> 00:41:32,531
-[Jin-su] Sure. -[1st Floor] It's okay.

780
00:41:32,615 --> 00:41:34,033
[2nd Floor] What the hell?

781
00:41:35,409 --> 00:41:36,785
[sighs]

782
00:41:36,869 --> 00:41:39,163
[tense music playing]

783
00:41:39,246 --> 00:41:40,873
[Jin-su] What's up? What is it?

784
00:41:40,956 --> 00:41:43,334
[tense music builds]

785
00:41:45,377 --> 00:41:46,712
I don't believe it.

786
00:41:54,511 --> 00:41:56,639
[4th Floor] Why is your room so huge?

787
00:41:57,932 --> 00:42:00,935
8th Floor, you even have a bathtub in here?

788
00:42:02,269 --> 00:42:03,771
You mean you don't?

789
00:42:05,397 --> 00:42:07,274
I bought the candles this morning. Nice, huh?

790
00:42:08,567 --> 00:42:10,778
[Jin-su] Not only was her room massive…

791
00:42:13,864 --> 00:42:15,241
-[bleep] -[Jin-su] No way…

792
00:42:15,324 --> 00:42:17,284
How much did that just increase?

793
00:42:17,868 --> 00:42:20,496
It went up by hundreds of thousands all in one go.

794
00:42:20,996 --> 00:42:22,456
But how did it…

795
00:42:22,540 --> 00:42:24,291
How come? My God.

796
00:42:25,125 --> 00:42:26,710
I just get 50 grand.

797
00:42:27,670 --> 00:42:29,088
You make that much?

798
00:42:29,171 --> 00:42:31,382
-That means… -[4th Floor] Don't you?

799
00:42:32,841 --> 00:42:34,426
I only make ten thousand.

800
00:42:35,553 --> 00:42:36,387
A minute.

801
00:42:36,470 --> 00:42:40,474
[Jin-su thinks] So that means each floor pays a higher rate as you go up.

802
00:42:40,558 --> 00:42:43,477
Uh, this is some fucked-up shit. God damn.

803
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:45,729
Hmm? What?

804
00:42:45,813 --> 00:42:47,815
[Jin-su] 8th Floor was beyond compare.

805
00:42:47,898 --> 00:42:50,109
Her hourly rate was worth more than any of ours.

806
00:42:50,192 --> 00:42:52,736
She was playing for half a billion a day.

807
00:42:52,820 --> 00:42:54,321
-[giggles] -Oh, shit…

808
00:42:55,197 --> 00:42:56,657
[dramatic music playing]

809
00:42:58,284 --> 00:43:00,286
[ticking]

810
00:43:04,540 --> 00:43:06,542
[dramatic music continues]

811
00:44:12,232 --> 00:44:14,234
[ominous music playing]

812
00:46:59,900 --> 00:47:01,819
[ticking]

813
00:47:30,138 --> 00:47:32,140
[comic music playing]

814
00:48:46,632 --> 00:48:48,634
[tense music playing]
