What do you think you're doing?

You have nowhere to go.

How about you stop running your mouth and show yourself?

Stop hiding like a rat.

You should have gotten on that plane.

You're going to regret that decision.

You can hide all you want.

But I swear I'll find you.

So where to?

I need to get to Seoul.

Okay.

I'm sorry, kid.

Just give me five minutes. Okay?

Jun-ho.

Jun-ho.

Honey, are you there?

Doctor! Hurry!

Please come quick! My son just opened his eyes!

In-ho.

SQUID GAME 2

EPISODE 1 BREAD AND LOTTERY

2 YEARS LATER

What the hell?

You're driving without a helmet.

I'm gonna need to see your license.

This is an ambush, you know that?

Isn't this entrapment or something?

You're really gonna go and squeeze a broke-ass kid like me?

Sir, your license.

Here, let me.

Officer, how about you let us go?

I have mine on.

Doesn't matter.

Whoa! You know, you're super cute.

Now you're obstructing justice, miss.

Ooh, and he's got some bite.

Hmm?

Look up here. Huh?

Ooh. That shit's fire.

The fine's 20,000 won for not wearing a helmet.

-Make sure you pay on time. -Hey, sexy. Is it cool if I post this?

What's your Insta? Let's follow each other. Please. Huh?

Babe, where are you going?

Hey! Where are you going? What about me?

What? Go ask your pig boyfriend. Maybe he'll give you a ride.

Hey! Hey!

Hey! Get back here, asshole!

Damn it!

Hey, Jun-ho!

So what? You transfer here just so you can get treated like shit?

Chief…

do you put vinegar on your onion and radish?

It was so long ago. I can't remember how you liked it.

Jun-ho, stop wasting your time.

Come back to Major Crimes.

Not on the onions. Just on the radish. Right?

Are we really gonna do this again?

You're still mad, huh?

Look, I did everything I could.

I tried to get the higher-ups to listen to you.

Got the Coast Guard to search the area like you asked me to.

I know. Your jjajangmyeon is getting soggy.

Come on, eat.

Hey, you know…

I want to believe you. Really, I do.

But we didn't get any of the photos you said you'd sent,

then your phone fell into the ocean.

And you still can't find this island of yours.

You said people got murdered in those secret games.

To get the higher-ups to buy that story,

you need to show some evidence, Jun-ho.

There was the round stuck in your shoulder,

but we couldn't trace the bullet.

That's all you had.

And that's after you took a gun without permission

and decided to go rogue.

A couple days later, they find you half dead.

I wasn't going to tell you this,

but after they told us that you were awake,

there was all this fuss about firing you and I kept you on.

Sir, I salute you. I'm in your debt.

You will forever be a hero to me. Thank you.

Why, you sarcastic little shit.

Look, you and I, we're the police.

Firefighters, they fight fires with water.

-The police-- -The police fight crime with evidence.

I know, and that's why I work in traffic now.

The evidence in our department is always very clear, huh?

Not wearing a helmet, going over the limit, ignoring a signal.

It's all right there in the photos.

No one can try to argue with us.

Hey, Jun-ho, do you remember what he looked like?

The guy who shot you?

No.

In-ho.

Let's go.

In-ho, why?

Where are we going?

Look, here's a motel.

Here?

What the…

Hello?

Anyone there?

You guys even open?

-Hello in there. -Babe.

It looks sketchy.

Do we have to stay here?

Uh…

All the lights are off. Are they closed?

The sign isn't lit. That means their rooms are full.

Let's try another place.

And how do you know that?

-Who told you? -Do you have to ask?

I just know, okay?

Oh, yeah? So you just happen to be a motel expert?

-Huh? -Come on. Really?

-What a fucking dick. -What?

You said you liked that I knew everything.

Just tell me how you knew.

-Did your ex-boyfriend tell you? -Screw you!

-Why won't you answer me? -Oh, God.

Who's there?

Player 456.

Looking for these?

Guess who?

I brought you some soup and some medicine.

So how are you feeling?

I'm doing better.

Yeah, well, you sure as hell don't look better.

I told you not to keep pushing yourself.

You won't find your guy if you burn yourself out, Seong.

How did it go today?

Let's see, we checked all the subway stations

on lines one through four.

Still nothing.

When did you search?

10:00 in the morning till 10:00 at night.

Except an hour for lunch and another for dinner.

But those we always rotate.

I wonder…

You think he could have caught on to us and gone somewhere we're not looking?

We've been searching for two years and there's still no sign of him.

Starting tomorrow, get us more eyes.

We have to extend the search

from the first train of the day to the very last.

Check all the lines all at once.

All of them the entire day?

It's just…

You know that's a big ask.

That's gonna mean spending a fortune on staffing alone.

When I got that business card three years ago,

it was around this time of year.

So if they're still hosting the game, then…

he'll be starting to recruit new players.

If I miss this opportunity,

then that's a whole nother year I have to wait.

Uh-huh. Uh, understood.

And I… Listen, I swear we'll find him this year.

I swear.

-Woo-seok. -Yeah, boss?

Starting tomorrow,

we'll need everyone.

Huh?

I don't… How many?

You heard what I said. Get everyone.

-I-- -And also,

we're gonna start the day at six o'clock,

so go home and rest up.

Don't stay out late drinking.

6:00 a.m.? Who's going to be playing ddakji at the crack of dawn?

Hey, hey. Just hold on a second.

I've been thinking, and his story doesn't make any sense.

No, it doesn't.

But I know there's something going on here.

You've noticed it.

Everybody who's in debt, who's owed me money

over these last few years keeps vanishing.

-I never got back any money-- -Do you honestly think

the assholes who borrowed your money were taken to some island

where they played kids' games and all got killed?

-That's fucking crazy. -You think I believe a word he says?

He's throwing a ton of money at us!

It's only thanks to Seong Gi-hun coming to me when he did,

paying off his debt and turning around and hiring me

that I could even pay any of you or keep the business going. Okay?

-Yeah. Yeah, I know-- -Then stop your whining.

Get out of bed and keep your eyes peeled.

If we find that ddakjiplaying piece of shit

Seong said we'd get a billion-won reward.

What? A billion?

That's right, a billion. What? Huh?

Now you want to believe his story?

-But-- -Listen up!

If you find the guy, you get half the reward. Okay?

-500 million won? -That's right.

That's 500 million!

What are you waiting for?

Hey, Captain.

Oh, it's you.

So how are things?

Oh, same old, same old.

When the weather's good, then I go out and fish.

When the weather's bad, I stay in and get drunk.

Well, Captain Park, I gotta say,

for someone who drinks every day, you still look pretty good.

Quit your bullshit and put on your life vest.

It's time to look for your mystery island again.

So, Captain Hwang, where are we off to this time?

In the past year or two, we've looked high and low for this thing.

You still want to keep searching, and I don't know where else to try.

Where the hell are you, mystery island?

I was going over the map again.

There's a few places we haven't checked because of weather or tide conditions.

I've narrowed them down.

Let's try these today.

Whatever you say, Cap.

I should have left you in the water

when I saw you out there floating.

Now I'm stuck shuttling you around.

Such a goddamn angel.

SUNSHINE CAPITAL

Listen up.

The person you've all been hired to track down…

is this guy right here.

Yep.

He's a tall guy, probably right around six feet.

He's got nice hair, handsome, wears a real nice suit,

and he always carries a briefcase.

The briefcase contains…

stacks of cash and ddakji. Okay?

He finds strangers down on the subway,

and then he… …throws ddakji with them.

Then he gives them a business card.

-What's it say? -Looks like a circle, triangle and square.

You see anyone who looks like this guy,

you need to call the number we gave you as soon as you possibly can.

Take a picture.

Hey, hey. Move your head.

Okay, okay.

You done? Good. Now listen up.

Here's where you're all covering today.

Group one, lines one and two. Group two, lines three and four.

Group three, lines five and six.

Group four, lines seven and eight. And group five,

the Gyeongui-Jungang line as well as the airport railroad.

From the first train to the very last,

go station to station to station to the very end.

Check thoroughly.

You got that?

You check every single station. You don't skip any.

Yes, sir!

Now, once you're done searching each station,

you're gonna take a picture on your phone and send it to the group chat.

If you don't, then you're not getting paid.

Are we clear?

-Yes, sir! -One last thing.

The team that tracks down this man

gets 500 million won as a bonus!

500 million? Really?

After you.

500 mil, let's get it!

We're heading to the subway stations.

Okay, good. I'll stand by at the usual spot.

Keep me updated.

Okay.

Sorry, folks. Out of the way.

SEARCHING YONGDU STATION

SEARCHING OKSU STATION

Any chance you've seen a guy like this around?

-He's kind of tall. -Man in a suit.

He's carrying a briefcase.

Bam! Then the one on the ground flips over like this,

and that means I lose. So the winner slaps me.

Does that ring any bells?

He wears a suit, likes to slap people.

-Just a sec. -What are you doing?

Sorry.

Excuse me, sir. Do you mind if I…

-Whoa! -Hey, hey, hey.

-It's just a quick check. -It's cool.

Excuse me, sir.

Who are you?

Routine inspection.

Any luck?

Ready?

Smile.

Three…

Look serious.

HANGANGJIN STATION CLEAR

-Hold on. We need a photo. -Yeah.

Here.

TODAY'S SEARCH HAS ENDED

Hey there, Cap.

We're heading back now.

Okay.

Oh, shit.

Can't work on an empty stomach. Here.

I already told you, I don't know.

-Are you sure? -Of course.

Captain, hold on!

Oh, God.

Time for another selfie.

We gotta get him our proof.

Here we go.

TODAY'S SEARCH HAS ENDED

I told you we shouldn't go out in this kind of weather.

There are whirlpools all over the place.

No one ever sails out there. Not even the big boats.

A miracle we're still afloat.

We almost became fish food looking for your damn island.

I'm sorry.

Why'd I drag your soggy ass out of the water that day?

Now you got me out here

doing all this shit for absolutely nothing.

I'll always be grateful for what you did.

You know how many islands there are

in a ten-kilometer radius of where I found you?

Could be hundreds of those places, and the currents are strong.

In the end, there's no way of telling

how far you could have drifted with that buoy.

I mean, forget about the island where the games were.

You can't even remember anything about the island where you got shot.

How are we gonna find anything?

-Yeah, you're right. It's time to quit. -Hmm?

We've done everything we could.

Uh-huh, sure, but I'll see you here next week.

I can't thank you enough for saving me.

I've asked you for a lot, I know.

I promise I'm gonna find a way to repay you.

There's no need for that.

Now I'm sad our little outings are going to come to an end.

-I'll still come by to visit you. -Tsk!

We can go out and catch some squid, huh?

Crew members worth their salt are hard to come by nowadays.

And you'll get more than you make with the police.

Oh? How much are we talking?

We can hash all that out over a drink

when we get back to land.

Well, I can see the harbor over there.

Train doors are opening.

Here we go again.

Seriously, this is kind of pathetic, boss.

They give you better food at one of those construction gigs down the street.

Man!

Hey, you little shit, this ain't so bad. Huh?

You're down here in the middle of summer in this nice AC,

making easy money sitting on your ass.

You don't like it?

Then go ahead, work construction.

Okay.

I want to know just how much of this story you think is actually real.

We've had our boys searching the whole subway system all summer long.

And guess what? No one's seen this dude.

Uh-huh. You want to know

-what I've been thinking about lately? -Yeah.

Even if Seong Gi-hun has completely lost it…

he wouldn't waste billions of won

looking around for someone who isn't a real person.

So there's something to this.

Come on.

He's had us combing all these stations for two years already.

Not for a day or two. We're talking two whole years now.

You know what my wife says?

I should find that motherfucker, get myself into the game

and bring the 45 billion won home.

This ddakji shithead isn't down here. If he was, then there's--

Huh?

Yes!

Yeah?

Mr. Seong, it's your guy. We found him.

Are you sure about that?

The ddakji, the slapping, the money. It's all just like you said.

Yeah, he just took out the card.

-Tell me your location. -Jonggak Station.

He's leaving.

I'm on my way.

Make sure you stay on his tail and keep me updated.

Don't let him out of your sight until I get there.

I got it. We'll stay in touch.

Hey, he's just gone into Tapgol Park.

But don't approach him alone. I'll get there soon.

Okay. Better hurry.

Excuse me.

Hello, sir.

You seem to be struggling, living a life with no hope of a future.

So to help you out, I've decided to bring you a little gift today.

Gift?

What is that?

You can only choose one: bread roll or lotto ticket.

Now it's all up to you to choose which one you want.

SORRY!

Oh.

Bad luck.

My coin, sir.

-Woo-seok. -Yeah, boss?

What the hell is he doing over there?

Well, I'm not sure.

I guess maybe he's not so bad. I don't know.

SORRY!

Ah, shit.

SORRY!

Oh, shit.

Shit.

Mmm.

SORRY!

Damn it! Fucking shit!

Wait. Why isn't he coming to us?

I don't know.

Dang it. I had a lucky dream last night.

-He's dumping the bread! -What's he doing now?

Hey, why the hell would you waste good food?

Sir, I already gave you a choice.

And you went with the other option.

I'm not the one here who wasted this!

That was you people.

No!

What are you doing? What's the matter with you?

No, no, no.

What are you doing? What's wrong with you?

Freaking waste!

Hmm.

Plate 2071, pull over.

Plate 2071, pull over now.

You take this one.

Me, sir?

They'll either try to get you to let it slide

or say we're trying to entrap innocent civilians.

Make sure you don't come off as too harsh,

but don't let him walk all over you.

You're here just doing your duty.

Got it?

Yes, sir. I'm ready.

Sir, you were going over the speed limit.

Would you mind taking out your license?

Taxi! Taxi! Taxi!

Ah, shit! Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on!

That orange cab there, stay on its tail.

-What? -Ah, shit.

Here. Look, I'll pay double.

Okay.

Mr. Seong, where are you? You close?

I'll be there in a minute.

This guy's a total nut job.

He just got in the cab.

I'll keep you updated on his location. But hurry!

Okay, copy.

The fine for speeding is 60,000 won. You'll need--

Well, that was fast.

-You cover everything? -Yeah.

He took the ticket and he just sped off without a word.

Could be hiding something. You run his ID?

Yeah, but I got nothing.

I wonder what his job is.

He had all these phones and tablets in his car.

I couldn't tell what for.

SEONG GI-HUN NO CRIMINAL RECORD FOUND

-Turn right here. Go right. -Here? Gotcha.

-Look, he's getting out. -He just got out.

I'll send you the address. Call me when you get here.

-You can drop us off here. -Okay.

-Here you go. -Thank you.

Where the hell is Seong?

He'll be here in ten.

Shit. Hey, if we wait too long, we'll lose this guy.

-Huh? -I say you and I just take him.

What, alone?

Yeah. What, you scared? It's two against one.

You too chicken now that you're married, huh?

It's not that. It's just this guy… He seems really off.

And Seong told us to wait until he got here.

And what if we lose him and we don't get the bonus? What then?

Woo-seok, it's a billion fucking won!

Wait. We'll still split it, though?

You think I'd screw you over?

I officiated your wedding, for Christ's sake.

Come on.

-Hey, you stop! -Hey!

Got you, bastard!

Uh, plate 2071. Let's see here.

Looks like currently a company is renting it.

A company? Which one?

Uh…

Um, it's Sunshine Capital.

What's the address of the company?

Hmm?

The two of you like games, right?

We're gonna play a little game.

We'll play Rock, Paper, Scissors, Minus One.

You know it?

Two-handed Rock, Paper, Scissors.

Take one hand back.

If the one you keep beats their hand, you win.

But if you lose, here's what happens.

You've seen this in the movies, I'm sure.

Russian Roulette.

I take a single bullet, load it into this revolver.

Give it a spin.

Then I aim at the loser's head and give the trigger a good pull.

The odds that you'll die are one in six.

Survival odds are five in six.

Your chances are pretty good, no?

Great. I'm ready if you are.

Let's play. You'll put your hands out on my count.

Rock…

paper, scissors!

Mr. Choi, you didn't play anything.

You broke the rules from the get-go.

Disqualified.

Now, let's play again, gentlemen.

Rock, paper, scissors!

One hand back.

There's no need to be so nervous.

Like I said, your odds of survival are a whopping five in six.

Let's play again, gentlemen.

Rock, paper, scissors! One hand back.

It's beginning to get a little boring, isn't it?

Let's reverse the odds. Sound good?

Your odds of survival are now one in six.

No, please. Don't do this.

Your odds of death

are now five in six.

No, no, no, no!

Okay, let's get ready to play.

You want to speed things up?

Rock, paper, scissors. One hand back.

Rock, paper, scissors. One hand back.

Rock, paper, scissors. One hand back.

Rock, paper, scissors! One hand back!

Rock, paper, scissors!

One hand back, go.

Mr. Kim, you didn't take back one of your hands.

Disqualified.

Hmm.

Congratulations. You won.

Now that we're alone,

shall we have a little chat?

That's what I said. The boss still isn't back.

I heard from Mr. Seong.

He said the boss and Woo-seok were tailing ddakji guy

when he lost contact with them.

Motherfucker, how would I know?

Anyway, listen to me.

Get everyone and go to Daebang Station.

I'll grab some weapons and meet you there.

Yeah?

No, Daebang Station. Not Sindaebang, it's Daebang!

God damn it! How many times do I have to repeat myself?

That's what I said!

Whatever! Just call everyone now.

I found a knife and bloodstains in the alley.

Wherever they are now, they couldn't have gotten very far.

Check the CCTV cams

and any dash cam footage from the area you can find.

Keep on asking around.

I'll be there soon.

It's been a while, Seong Gi-hun.

You really should have gotten on the plane that day.

I changed my mind the moment that I saw you.

Look at all this.

You've been trying so hard to find me.

Yeah, well, I wanted to thank you.

Oh, yeah? For what?

For inviting me to join the game.

I won, after all.

It's 'cause of you I have all of this money now.

I think it's only right to show you I'm grateful for that chance.

All I did was extend the invitation. I'm just a delivery man.

And who hired you to deliver all those invitations?

They're the people I'd like to see.

I have something to say to them.

If you tell me what it is, I'll gladly share it with them.

It isn't anything I could tell some worthless little underling.

You go after people at subway stations,

you con anyone who's almost at the end of their rope.

I don't think that someone like you could ever understand what I need to say.

Mr. Seong…

How exactly do you think I got to where I am?

I really don't care how they managed to turn you into their lapdog.

Your master is the one I want.

Hmm.

I used to work at the games, you know.

Clearing and incinerating the bodies of countless people like you, Mr. Seong.

These things aren't human.

They're just trash, useless. They have no purpose in this world.

That's what I kept telling myself for years, and I worked hard.

One day they gave me a gun.

I liked the way it felt.

It was like someone had finally acknowledged my existence.

And I don't know which year it was.

There was a man who'd lost, and I went over to shoot him, but…

Hmm.

I recognized his face.

Guess who it was.

My dad.

I was aiming a weapon at my very own father.

And he begged me, tears in his eyes, to spare his life.

And so do you know what I did?

I shot him, bang, right in the middle of his forehead.

That's when I knew.

"Ah…

I guess I really am cut out for this."

Whether you're killing innocent people in there,

or preying on them out here,

you know it doesn't change the damn thing.

You were and are

nothing more…

than an obedient little lapdog.

Mr. Seong…

you think just because you won the game you're suddenly special now?

Is that what you believe?

Someone like you…

you don't get it, you couldn't know…

…or understand how it felt.

What it was like to be in there,

what I did to make it out.

You don't have any idea…

what the game is really like.

Why don't we play a little game?

You've seen this in the movies, I'm sure.

It's called Russian Roulette.

Usually you put a single bullet into the revolver, give it a spin.

And pull the trigger.

Then after each round, you reset the cylinder.

Which puts the odds back at one in six, right?

Now I think we should do something to raise the stakes a little bit.

Since you're such a special person.

Get to the point.

We take our turns like we're supposed to, except we don't spin it each round.

That way, we know the bullet will be fired by round six at the latest.

Sound good?

You know, Mr. Seong,

I've always wondered how you made it out of there alive,

considering just how terrible at ddakji you were.

What's wrong?

Feeling your mind start to race?

The odds that gun will kill you are one in two now.

That probability is pretty high, right?

Now you're afraid, wondering what else you can do.

I bet I know what's going through your head.

"I already have the gun.

"Who cares what the rules are? I'm just gonna aim at this asshole,

pull the trigger a couple of times and blow his ugly face off."

Well, am I wrong?

If you want to meet the person you were talking about earlier,

the key's here, in my pocket.

All you have to do is shoot me with that gun, and then it's yours.

If you do, though, you'll have to admit one thing to me.

You're trash and just as worthless as everyone else.

And you only made it out of the dumpster because you got lucky.

What's wrong?

Feeling your mind start to race?

That's right.

Who cares about rules?

The only thing you have to do now is pull that trigger once…

and you could kill me right here.

But…

you have to admit one thing to me.

All you do is put your little mask on…

and do whatever Master tells you to.

You roll over, heel…

and wag your tail…

'cause you're their fucking dog.

If you want to meet the person you were talking about earlier,

the key's here, in my pocket.

Don't shoot! Just… Just let me go. Okay? Let me go.

Where is Seong Gi-hun?

Room 410! 410!

Police! Hands above your head, now!

Seong Gi-hun, you are under arrest on suspicion of murder.

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can--

Hold on. Hey, hey! Wait!

Who are you?

Hey. Seong Gi-hun. You're him, aren't you?

I work with Mr. Kim, okay? We tracked down yourddakjiguy.

My name's Choi Woo-seok.

I'm in all the photos with him, remember?

We texted you from the subway every single day!

Don't you remember?

Listen, okay? I know that we've never met,

at least not in person,

but the boss told me, uh, how much he trusted you.

You were a stand-up guy who voluntarily paid his debts.

He told me that there was nobody else…

Is he dead?

Did you kill him, Mr. Seong?

You fucking son of a bitch!

Fucking hell!

This motherfucker tied us up and killed the boss.

I was sitting there with two rocks like an idiot.

But Boss had scissors and paper.

All he had to do was take back the scissors.

Why the fuck did he pull his hand back?

Why the fuck didn't you just…

I have the morning shift.

That doesn't mean you can just sleep in your car, you know.

I'll get in trouble if anyone finds out.

Haven't I caught you out here before?

It won't happen again. I'll move tomorrow.

Well, this is your final warning.

I'll have to report you if I catch you again.

I understand.

Detective Hwang Jun-ho.

I remember you now.

I talked to you one night at my house, didn't I?

We actually have met twice.

The first time was at your house, and the second time…

was on the island.

Remember? It was on the night that the fight broke out.

The masks had to step in to shut it down.

Are you saying you worked there as one of their guards?

I infiltrated the island as one of them so I could find my brother.

How do I know that's not bullshit?

There was a masked man who talked to you,

asked if you knew Hwang In-ho.

Player 456.

Is there a man named Hwang In-ho here?

We don't use our names in this place.

That was me.

Hwang In-ho is my older brother.

Who's that man you killed before I got here?

He's a recruiter. He finds people and gets them to participate in the game.

And I wasn't the one who fired the gun.

We played a game and he just happened to lose.

Mr. Seong, are you saying you're still part of that game?

What I want is to stop the game once and for all.

How?

There's someone that I'm gonna find.

The son of a bitch who ran the game under Oh Il-nam.

Do you know who he is?

All of the guards called him the Front Man.

You know what he looks like?

No, he…

He always wore a black mask under a hood.

How are you going to find the guy?

He sent me an invitation.

Say you find him.

Then what?

You gonna kill him?

Killing one person isn't gonna put an end to any of this.

Oh Il-nam said something on the night that he died.

He said he only decided to create the game to please his clients.

That's right.

The VIPs. That's what they would call them there.

I saw one of their faces.

Let me go.

We'll find these bastards together.

Seong, listen to me. No cops, please.

The cops never do anything except harass us.

Now suddenly you want to help us?

Sorry about your brother, but you need to forget about this.

Were you able to forget…

all the people who they murdered?

With the mask on, I saw things you didn't.

Whatever you're trying to do…

I know I can help.

Can we please rethink our plan here?

Listen, When I was young, I got scammed and lost my entire life savings.

I was so pissed, I found the fucker who did it and roughed him up.

It was nothing. I barely touched the guy.

But the police only went arrested me

and then demanded thatIpay him a settlement.

But with what fucking money?

That asshole had already taken everything I had.

What's really fucked up is I'm the only they threw in the can.

They just let the other guy off.

After that, I'll never trust the police again…

Holy hell.

You really did win.

The game was real. You aren't full of shit.

The money you see here

is the price of the lives of all the people that were lost.

We're gonna take it, and we're gonna use it to fight back.

If you decide to help me,

I'll give you all the money you could ever want.

I don't give a shit. I'm not doing this for the money.

No, and neither am I.

That psycho killed the boss and had me watch it.

Boss Kim was like a brother. He officiated my wedding.

I'll track down whoever that fucker answered to,

make them play Rock, Paper, Scissors and shoot all of them dead.

There are armed troops on that island.

A couple of pistols aren't really gonna do us much good there.

This is everything I've collected so far.

Are they real? Mr. Seong, where did you get all of them?

Wow. I'm impressed.

I guess you actually do know what you're doing.

I want you to find a team to come work for us.

Sure, I got it covered.

I already know a crew. These men are the best in the business.

Wait. Is that a K2?

Whoa! Haven't seen these since my military days.

I'm guessing these are black market.

Do you know if they even work?

Huh?

Huh?

You can come here to practice anytime you want.

Oh, and…

I think you need to quit your current job if you're gonna work with me.

-Look, here they come. -Here, hon. Need a boost?

Thank you!

Say thank you, honey.

Shit, I'm roasting. Hey, turn up the AC!

-The unit barely does anything. -These suits are like ovens.

-Look at me, I'm drenched. -Is it even on?

-It's so hot. -Someone talk to management.

They expect us to work in this weather?

-Need something cold. -Can't wait to get home.

-Mask's soaked. -AC, please.

-Let's grab a beer. -Now you're talking.

-I'm in. -I know a place around the corner.

-I'm exhausted. -I know, I--

Bunny, here you go.

I drew it for you.

Oh, no. Are you okay, Bunny?

Oh, it is way too hot for this shit.

Why doesn't this fucking pig suit have any ventilation?

Is mine the only one like this?

Oh, wait. No, no, no.

Na-yeon!

-Na-yeon! -Oink, oink!

Na-yeon…

Na-yeon, hey, how many times have I told you not to wander off?

Daddy!

-Don't cry. -Daddy!

Sorry, guys. I'll get out of your hair. I'm sorry.

It's all right.

Daddy's got you now. You're okay, sweetie.

I wonder when she got discharged.

Who is she?

Oh, you know the artists who are around drawing caricatures for the guests?

The man who just left is one of those guys.

The kid's his daughter.

She was in the hospital?

Yeah, well, she has blood cancer. She needs a bone marrow transplant, but…

apparently, they're really hard to get.

SANG-WOO'S FISH STORE

Oh, great, Thank you so much.

-Thank you. Have a nice day. -You too.

Cheol!

Grandma!

-That's fresh. -They look frozen to me.

-Have you had dinner yet? -Yeah. I ate.

I got a burger with some friends.

You need more than that.

-I've got some sweet potatoes steaming. -I'm too full for sweet potatoes.

Then we'll drink some sikhye.

The woman standing next to Sae-byeok in that picture,

that's her mother.

We learned that she was recently released from a prison camp

in North Hamgyong Province.

You have any idea what kinda shape she's in?

There was an outbreak of tuberculosis in her camp.

She was never treated for it, though.

Trying to move her now isn't really feasible.

I don't care. Please get her mom out of there.

Listen. So I've got Chinese experts and North Korean experts

hard at work on this.

Once we know she's recovered, we go and get her across the border.

If the problem is money, I can get you more.

No, no, no.

Last time you gave me more than enough money,

I kind of owe this to Sae-byeok after all.

I'll do everything I can to try and make it happen.

What's this?

SANG-WOO'S FISH STORE

That's where Sae-byeok's little brother is.

If for any reason you can't get ahold of me,

I want you to call that number.

Okay. Got it.

Oh, shit. You again? For God's sake!

Why can't you just leave me alone? Go see another broker like I said.

Everyone else I tried told me that she was dead.

If they all say she's dead, she is.

You can't magically bring your kid back to life.

I thought you said there was a chance she isn't dead.

Actually, what I told you

was that at no point had anyone reported her body or witnessed her death.

That's different than saying she isn't dead.

No one's reported seeing her alive either.

Just please look for her one last time, okay?

Today, everyone's just throwing cash at me.

I guess it's the universe rewarding my good deeds.

Please look, I'm begging you.

If you need more, I can get it to you.

If the issue were the money, I would have told you so a while ago.

No-eul, you know how hard I've been working

to try and find some kind of news for you.

I have kids. I feel your pain. But I've already done everything I can.

Then I know you get it.

This is the last time, I swear.

Listen, I have to be honest with you.

I mean, the baby was one year old.

How could she survive in North Korea without her parents?

Not only that, her mother shot a superior officer

and ran away to the South, just like some traitor who…

Hey, listen, I'm not saying this is your fault, No-eul.

It's just the harsh reality of the situation you're in.

It's awful, I know, telling you to forget about your kid, but…

you really should.

It's the only thing you can do now.

Sorry. I'm done. Let me just move the car.

Kang No-eul.

Hey, Mom.

Where are you, sweetie? Are you there yet?

Yeah, Mom, I'm here.

If you can, please take a look around, see if your brother has dropped by.

I mean, it's the fifth anniversary of her death.

If he's still alive, you'd hope he would leave his wife some flowers.

There was no sign of him?

No.

That's really it, then.

Your brother truly wants to cut us out of his life.

I really can't believe how long it's been. Can you?

I know that the reason he's gone

is because he still resents me for everything.

We were all struggling then.

He knows that.

I just don't want him to think I loved him any less.

Or feel that since I wasn't his birth mother,

I put your needs first.

That's what scares me the most.

Mom, you can't start thinking like that.

In-ho knew that wasn't true.

Still…

He gave you one of his kidneys in order to save your life.

Then when your sister-in-law lay there in the hospital, suffering and dying,

I didn't do anything to help her.

I wish I could have done something.

I would have given anything to save her.

Even selling off all my organs.

In that case, he'd resent me instead.

A kidney, know how much that's even worth?

He could have paid for all her treatments if he'd just gone out and sold it.

I should've just died, if you think about it.

After what you put me through don't say it!

You just said the exact same thing!

And I'm tired of hearing it!

She got sick, she died. That was her fate.

You know accepting that bribe was In-ho's decision alone.

We're not responsible for that!

That happened to be how his life turned out!

His actions had consequences. That's how the world works.

RESIGNATION LETTER

Something personal came up and I need to deal with it.

Still, you're just gonna quit on me, out the blue?

It'll be hard to find a replacement.

I'm sorry, boss.

No-eul, how the hell do you work in this?

Oh, shit. This one's stuffier than the pig suit was. Fuck.

You know, boss, this is why No-eul decided to quit.

Whoever designed these only thought about what the kids see,

not that they totally suck for the adults wearing them.

Right, No-eul?

Team dinner's tonight.

I hope you can come and say good-bye to everyone. Yeah?

You gotta go. Come hang, eat something.

Drink a little soju. Huh? It'd be a bummer for you to just leave.

Thank you for everything, boss.

Ice-cold right to the very end.

Same as always.

You know, I've worked with her for a little over two years,

but I don't think we ever had a real conversation.

Yeah. I'm not sure how she lasted so long with that personality.

-Here. -Tell us what happened?

-I just found her unconscious. -Na-yeon!

Na-yeon!

-Are you her guardian? -Yeah, I'm her dad.

Please take her to Seohyeon University Hospital.

Okay, now open wide.

SEOHYEON UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL

PARK NA-YEON

Well, there's a new drug that just got out of the trial phase.

We use it on patients like Na-yeon with recurrent cancer or a poor prognosis.

The only thing is, it's not covered by insurance yet.

Doctor, I'll figure out a way to get the money somehow.

I'm begging you, please.

Please help my Na-yeon.

Let's make another appointment for tomorrow.

You and I can go over the details.

Whoo!

So these guys, ex-marines, all of them!

And over here, these guys are ex-UDT.

And last, not least, ex-Special Forces.

Now, our friend here, just an ex-traffic cop.

Uh, you saw for yourself, but they are the cream of the crop.

They get their money,

these guys will do anything.

Oh, um, here's our team leader.

He's bringing us years and years of experience from all over the world.

The name's Kim.

We need to do things carefully tomorrow.

If, at any point they catch on to our plan,

things could start to fall apart.

Don't worry!

It'll be just the two of us going into the club.

We'll have these guys, ta-da, right outside.

You really think they're gonna let you in?

I already have my outfit ready for tomorrow and everything.

I clean up nice, okay?

-I want to go into the club with you. -No.

They saw your face when you were on the island.

It's possible they would recognize you.

Do not engage for any reason whatsoever until you receive the signal from me.

Copy, sir.

If things go south, and something ends up happening to me tomorrow--

Why would anything happen to you?

We've already got that tracker on you.

So no matter what kind of place those guys take you,

you know we're right there, hot on their heels.

So don't be scared. Don't worry.

Hello?

Hello?

Who is this?

Hello?

Dad?

Dad, is that you?

Ga-yeong, who's on the phone?

I don't know. They won't say anything.

I bet it's a prank call.

Just hang up and come eat. Your soup is getting cold.

Okay.

If you wish to participate, please state your name and date of birth.

June 25, 1994.

Kang No-eul.

Information confirmed.

Your designated pickup date and location is as follows:

October 31, 2024.

Tancheon parking lot by the Bongeun Bridge, Songpa-gu, Seoul.

Hey!

Whoa, look at all these people. Why is it so crowded tonight?

OCTOBER 31 MIDNIGHT CLUB HDH

Hold on. Is that today? That's Hall… It's like an American thing. Hallo…

October 31, Halloween.

Yeah, Halloween.

What are they planning here?

They're up to something. I can feel it.

The guy they call the Front Man…

You said he always wore a gray hood and a black mask?

Yeah.

Ah!

He chose today, so he'd blend in with everybody.

These guys are pretty good, huh? Shit.

-All right, let's go. -Oh, okay.

Whoa! Wait, wait, wait! We gotta cover our faces too, right?

Oh, uh, here. How much for this one?

We just made it in! It's underground. Can you hear me okay?

-Yeah, I hear you. -And the tracker?

Signal's strong. What's it like in there?

It's chaos in here. Total chaos.

Everyone's got a mask on. I can't tell who's who.

Listen, I'll let you know if anything happens.

Okay.

The masks. That's them. They're here. They're about to head into the club now.

Masks? I just told you, everyone in this place is wearing a mask.

They're in pink jumpsuits, just like on the island.

Seriously?

What's your deal? Do I know you?

The fuck's wrong with gramps over here?

Whoa! Hey, hold on there, bud. Wait your turn with everyone else.

Out of the way. Police.

See? You're not the only cop here.

Hey, it's Halloween, dude. You could've put on a uniform at least.

Hey, hey. Whoa!

This look like a toy?

I don't see anyone pink suits!

Oh!

There, I see one. Looks like he's taking Mr. Seong somewhere.

I'm gonna go after them.

-There's more than one. -What was that?

-I said I saw two of them! -What?

Woo-seok, where are you?

Woo-seok, come in!

Woo-seok. Woo-seok, get up!

They've moved out of the building. Everyone, get ready!

You hear that? Lock and load, guys.

Get ready.

They just got into a white limousine. I want everyone tailing it.

Remember, we need to capture him alive.

Go.

Player 456.

You remember this car?

We spoke in here once before.

So this is the car, huh?

I didn't think it'd be such a cushy limo.

I honestly hoped you would have a good life.

That you'd put the past behind you and find happiness.

It's so touching to hear you really care.

I'm moved, I could almost cry.

You should have gotten on that plane.

That was the best choice you could have made.

You know, I still think about it…

That conversation we had back then.

That's the entire reason I wanted to meet you so badly.

Well, here I am.

Say what you want to say.

What do you want from me?

Stop the game once and for all.

-The game? -The one you've been playing.

The one that I know is still going on. That game.

We only created it.

All of you chose to participate in the game of your own free will.

That's a load of shit and you know it.

You take advantage of desperate people with nowhere else to turn,

and watch as they die one by one to entertain your clients.

You say it's their decision to participate,

like you're trying to sugarcoat it.

You act like you're running a charity event.

Anyone who died was simply a player who lost the game.

Trash eliminated from the competition,

and as we speak, our world is filling up with more and more trash.

You still don't see, do you?

If the world doesn't change, the game doesn't end.

Do you guys have eyes on the limo?

Yeah, I can see it.

They're on the Seogang Bridge, heading towards Yeouido. What's next?

Don't do anything yet. We gotta catch him somewhere less public.

Copy that.

You say this is just the way the world works,

and that we should shut up, accept it and go on with our lives.

But that's a story you made up to excuse your atrocities.

I know that people are nothing but animals to you.

You think you can buy us like the racehorses I used to bet on.

You've become more eloquent.

So, your plan is to try and convince the horse owners

to put a stop to the race?

We're still on its tail.

-But something's wrong. This feels off. -What do you mean?

We just keep circling inner Yeouido.

They might've caught on to us. All right, stop the limo now.

Copy. Commencing operation.

-Oh, shit. -What's happening?

One of our tires blew.

Shit. Car Two follow the limo.

-Okay. Back the car up! Hurry! -Back up, back up.

Sniper. Get down!

Cars One and Two are pinned down.

We can't proceed.

Or maybe you were planning to kidnap me?

I'll follow the limo.

Damn it, I'm hit too.

I'm losing them.

Stop the car.

Did you really think you could end a game like this with one little gun?

Let me play the game again.

You want to play again?

I want you to send me in there again.

A few moments ago weren't you telling me to stop the game?

Your rich bosses will love it, won't they?

The returning winner who came back to play.

Make it all even more entertaining.

Go ahead,

knock me out and take me to the game.

Why the hesitation?

Are you getting cold feet?

Worried you'll lose to me like Oh Il-nam?

He didn't want to admit it, not even as he laid there on his deathbed.

He knew someone had come to help that man on the street,

but he refused to look out the window.

It didn't matter.

The moment he drew his last breath,

I could tell that he'd finally…

realized he'd lost.

Have you seenThe Matrix?

They could take the blue pill and live in comfort.

But they take the red pill instead.

Just so they can play the hero.

What about you? Do you think you're a hero too?

Do you think you can change the world?

I can prove it to you.

That you're wrong.

That the world isn't always gonna work…

how you think it should.

If that's what you want, then so be it.

Player 456,

welcome back to the game.

All teams, Plan B is now in effect.

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.

-Hey! -Huh?

Everyone on board? Let's go.

SQUID GAME 2

EPISODE 3 001

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.

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.

Excuse me.

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

How can we trust you now?

My apologies. Please understand it was a necessary step

taken to maintain the strict confidentiality of these games.

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?

If this were one of those, you'd see the dealers' faces!

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.

Uh, what about my phone?

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

When'll we get those?

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.

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.

-226, Kim Yeong-sam, 1.9 billion. -What is this shit?

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.

One more round!

Ten billion? Which one is he? Where…

What are you looking at?

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!

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.

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?

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.

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.

What's the total prize money at the end?

The total prize money is 45.6 billion won.

45.6 billion won?

And does just one person get it all?

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?

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.

Hold on.

After game one, if we vote to go,

then the prize money gets divided among us?

That is correct.

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

Stupid idiot!

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!

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.

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?

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.

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?

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!

-Take it easy. -Let go, hey…

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

Too many people.

You don't wanna end up on the news.

You better get rich here.

'Cause I want my money once this is done.

Let's go, dude.

SEONG GI-HUN

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.

-No shit. -Yeah.

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

We have a way to track his location.

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!

Attention. The first game is about to begin.

Smile.

Once your picture's been taken,

please follow the nearby staff's instructions,

and proceed as directed towards the game hall.

You're Thanos, aren't you?

Oh, shit!

Please look into the camera.

♪ Don't even need a snap Kill half the universe with a rap, bam ♪

The Rap Battlegrounds finalist. That's you, right?

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! -Me too. I want a picture.

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. -Thank you.

Okay, everybody. Get close, squish in.

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

Smile.

Are we all in the shot?

This is against the rules.

So you wanna be in it? Come on.

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.

Okay, everyone, clear out.

Please look into the camera.

Smile.

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

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.

Honestly.

Please look into the camera.

Smile.

What?

Gi-hun! Gi-hun, Gi-hun!

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? -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.

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.

What, like this?

Like we're in a conga line, huh?

Seriously, though, this is some weird shit.

It's over here.

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

Whoa!

-Fuck me. -Attention, players.

-Welcome to the first game. -Why were there so many stairs?

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.

There's no time like the present to get to know each other.

Is this you trying to flirt?

♪ Found her hidden in the weeds Yeah, my beauty-flower ♪

What's over there?

Hold on. What's that?

Jesus, why the hell can't there be a trail!

Oh! There, look! We found him! Look!

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?

Hey, you.

-What? -Ah, shit.

Hey!

-Hold on. -Hey. What… What are you doing?

Damn it!

Hey, that's my shit!

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

Don't move.

What's the matter, dude?

Oh!

Hey, man, is that your tooth?

Where is it?

Fuck!

Shit.

I'm fucked.

-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.

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

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

We are ready to start the game, sir.

Start video transmission.

Players who cross the finish line

within the five-minute time limit without being eliminated

-will win this game. -Everyone!

Everybody, you need to pay attention!

Hey, listen up!

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!

-What? -What's this guy's deal?

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. -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.

-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. -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. -If it sees you move, you die!

If it sees us, then we get to see Dad.

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.

Hey, you bastard, you're not fooling us!

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

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!

With that, let the game begin.

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? -If you do that,

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

No, never met him.

Green light.

-Red light! -Freeze!

All right, good, just try to relax!

Stay where you are!

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

Speak with your mouth covered. It could be seen.

Green light.

-Wait, aren't you-- -Red light!

Freeze!

Green light.

Red light!

Freeze!

-Are you insane? -I said cover your mouth!

-Green light. -Follow me!

-Red light! -Freeze!

Green light.

-Red light! -Hold still!

Green light.

-Red light! -Freeze!

Nobody move a muscle!

What's going on, is he high?

Nope. That dude's not high.

And you would know?

You wanna try?

What's that?

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

A bee?

Oh, shit. I just moved, didn't I?

Listen to me! Nobody move!

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

Player 196, eliminated.

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

Stay where you are! Don't move!

No! Stop moving!

You gotta stay still! Do not run!

Stay still.

If you run, you will die!

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

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

Please don't run!

You have to freeze right where you are!

Freeze!

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.

Green light.

Red light!

Green light.

Red light!

Green light.

Red light.

If you don't cross the line in time, they'll still kill you!

Look at the doll's eyes!

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!

Single file, like you're forming a conga line!

Time's running out! Go at the next green light!

-Green light. -Mom, get behind me, now.

Red light!

Gi-hun.

I'll stay behind you from here on out.

-That's not fair. -Player 444.

She just fell right onto me!

Wait, don't shoot.

Please don't shoot.

That's it, keep it together!

You're near at the end, you're almost done!

Green light.

Red light!

Help me, please.

-Green light. -Hey, hey! Wait.

-Where are you going? -Red light!

I don't wanna die in here.

I'll help. Now listen.

When it calls green light, get on your feet.

Green light.

Red light!

Green light.

Red light.

Are you okay?

Thank you so much.

Thank you so much--

Hey, Number 011.

Was that you?

He lost, so I took him out.

Jesus.

Player 444, eliminated.

Soldiers who have completed your task,

please line up in front of your rooms.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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. -I'll get the money.

Players, there seems to be a misunderstanding.

I'll do anything. Let us live.

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

I'll work to pay everything back.

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

We are simply providing you with an opportunity.

Consent form clause three!

"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.

But before we vote,

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

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?

-20 mil? -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.

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.

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.

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.

Hold on, everyone!

Wait a minute!

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.

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!

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.

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!

-Let's get out of here! -Let's all leave together!

No! We're staying right here! Bring it on!

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!

-Died? -What does he mean?

-They all really died? -This guy's full of shit.

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.

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.

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?

Yeah, he's gotta be lying!

-Bullshit! -No way you won that money!

-Crazy bastard! -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.

That's right!

He's won this.

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

Okay, come on! Let's make money!

-Let's get it! -Let's make money!

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.

Everyone--

Starting now, we will not permit any action

that interferes with the voting process.

With that, we will now resume voting.

SQUID GAME 2

EPISODE 4 SIX LEGS

Nice!

My mom used to pack lunches like this when I was a kid.

What kinda banchan did they put in yours?

What's wrong? Not hungry?

Here, have some. Go on.

You know what they say, "Full belly, happy heart."

Here, you can worry after you eat. Or eat while you worry. Say "Ah."

Ah…

All right, fine, whatever.

Maybe this is all gonna work itself out.

I don't know how you're doing,

but even if I got the 20 million up there, it still wouldn't be enough.

I could just make it through the next game then--

Jung-bae.

When I was first in here three years ago,

I heard a player say something just like that.

And by the end,

they were dead like everyone else.

Then why don't you help us, sir?

You said that you'd been here before.

You're the reason I ended up voting to stay.

It's true.

After the first game, I thought I was gonna quit.

And then I saw you.

And I thought to myself, "One more. Then I can go."

I thought the same thing.

Sir.

You know what's next, don't you?

Oh, yeah.

You won this whole thing before so you know what game two is.

So, what are we playing?

The second game we…

we played was Dalgona.

Dalgona? Like, the honeycomb you carve the shape out of?

That's right.

We had to pick one out of the four shapes they showed us.

Okay then.

So, of those, which was the easiest one to do?

The triangle.

And which was the hardest one?

Umbrella.

Umbrella?

What…

So players actually picked umbrella?

They had no idea what the game was so I bet they were totally screwed.

Right?

Wait. That means we all just need to pick the triangle.

Everyone should be able to get through this one, right?

Hey, wait, wait, wait. Quiet.

If all 365 of us survive, that means the prize will stay the same.

We'd have risked our lives to play another game for nothing.

Good. We keep this quiet.

It stays between us so that means we're the only ones who know.

-Sound good? -Right. Makes sense.

We can't do that.

The only reason I'm telling you this now is because I wanna try and save everybody.

When I'm positive Dalgona's the next thing we're playing,

then I'll tell every single player here what I just told you people.

Come on.

What shape did you pick, Gi-hun?

Hey, Mom? Mom, Mom! I just found out something important.

Where is she?

Ma?

Here, have this too.

You aren't just eating for you now. Come on.

And it's eggs. They're really good when you're pregnant.

Honey, I've delivered so many children in my neighborhood.

I've lost count of exactly how many there were.

I knew from the minute I saw the shape of your body

and how you carried yourself. I could just see it.

And by the looks of it, I'd say you're due pretty soon now. Am I right?

And compressing your belly isn't going to help things.

You could hurt yourself and your child trying to hide it. It isn't good.

That's why you were in pain earlier.

It's not what you think.

How the heck did you wind up in here, in this awful place?

-Mom, what you doing? -You scared me!

-This isn't the time to make friends. -Why not?

Hey, hey, Hold on minute. Just wait.

Listen. Finish up your food,

and if anything feels off at any point, don't hesitate to come to me.

-Ma, I said come here. -My bed's right over there. Take care.

What? Honestly, honey, what's gotten into you?

Do you mind if I ask you a question?

Why are you here? Why'd you come back again?

You said you won the game, made it out.

And that would mean you won 45.6 billion won.

Did you spend all of it already?

Did you start betting again?

That money doesn't belong to me.

The ones who died in this place, that's their blood money.

And the same goes for everything in there.

What point is there in thinking about it like that?

After all, it's not like you killed anyone yourself.

And that way of thinking won't help bring any of them back to life.

If you'd pressed "X" like I asked you to, we all could've left here alive.

You could've saved everybody.

True. I was the last player to press "O."

It wasn't just me, though.

There's 182 other people who wanted to stay here.

Yeah, and 182 more of them who wanted to get the hell out of this place.

If I hadn't pressed "O"…

If I'd hit "X" and we'd all gone home,

you think they'd appreciate what I'd done?

If one of these people ran into me, years from now,

do you think they'd say they were happy I voted to go?

That they ended up with a great life after all?

All right, that's enough.

It is what it is. No use in pointing fingers now.

I mean, we're all in the same boat. Everybody's got issues here.

We just need to focus on winning the game tomorrow. Okay?

We have someone with us who's already won.

If we just work as a team,

then we have nothing to worry about. You know?

That's right, my friends.

You say we should work as a team, right?

I agree. I'm with you all the way.

And who are you?

Ah, excuse me.

Dae-ho. At your service.

Kang Dae-ho. That's me.

-Ah, Dae-ho, sure. -Yes.

Do I know you?

Earlier, when Mr. 456 went "Freeze!"

I loved it. Became an instant fan.

I'd like to get to know all of you. Give me a chance, sir.

"Freeze!" That was awesome, man.

-Uh-huh. Wait. -What… What is it, sir?

The Marines?

Yeah, why?

Which cohort?

Oh.

Just wait.

Victory at all costs! Sir!

Cohort 1140, sir!

At ease!

"Dae-ho."

No wonder I had a good feeling about you.

-Sir! -I was 746. Welcome, Marine.

Won't let you down, sir!

Sir! Sir!

I like your discipline!

Thank you, sir!

Sir!

Ugh. How's the food?

I couldn't eat anything.

All that blood flying around, all those people getting shot,

and you're still hungry?

Listen, investing in that coin ruined my life too.

I came here to make money just like you.

Fucking right, money! Better make a shit ton.

Because of you and your goddamn crypto,

I lost everything I ever earned rapping my fuckin' ass off.

It was over 500 million won.

300 for me.

You better do well in here 'cause by the time we get out,

you're gonna pay us what you owe.

All right, I got it, now please can you stop? Let me eat my food--

For such a skinny little bitch, you sure are obsessed with food.

Give it back.

No.

If you want your precious rice so badly, let Thanos feed it to you personally.

Tasty?

-Piece of shit! -Get off him, dickhead.

You fucking asshole.

-Fuck off. -You little bitch!

Motherfucker!

You know how much money I lost because of you, fuckface?

-Fuck you! -Let me get a hit in too.

-You fucking-- -Hey, outta the way.

You should be fucking grateful, to eat whatever I give you! What's wrong?

Oh, to have all that energy. It's gotta be nice to be that young.

He could get really hurt if this continues.

Someone should intervene, right?

Yeah, I know.

Me? Or--

Hey, kids. What makes you think you can behave like that?

Especially while people are eating. And in front of your elders too.

It's bad manners, not to mention it's two against one.

Shame on you guys.

You're in here just like everyone else. So cut the lecture…

Grandad.

How about instead of yip-yapping at me,

you go back home to your own kids, you yell at them?

What did you say?

I said, save the lecture for your own kids.

Hey, get your fuckin--

Son of a…

Wait. Wait a minute.

I'm sorry, sir.

Please, I can't…

I'm sorry.

That was awesome!

Well done! Nice!

Good job!

Damn, dude!

What's that guy's deal?

Ex-Marine, too?

Attention. Today's work schedule has ended.

All active staff, please take this time to return to your rooms.

Na-yeon!

-Are you her guardian? -Yeah, I'm her dad.

Please take her to Seohyeon University Hospital.

Take all my sorrow, dissolve it into the ether.

Mom. Mom, are you asleep?

Oh, honey, I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

Excuse me.

If you aren't trying to sleep yet, could we talk?

Okay.

I thought about it, and I was out of line earlier.

I wanted to apologize. I'm sorry.

Oh… It's all right.

And I was the one who said it was all your fault.

-That was wrong of me. -It's okay.

My wife back home is very sick.

She was diagnosed with acute cirrhosis and needs a new liver.

While they were running all those tests on her,

we found out that she was pregnant too.

The hospital recommended an abortion,

but she wants to go through with it.

Even if it means dying.

My wife is, well…

Stubborn's an understatement.

There's no arguing with her once she's set on something.

We're struggling to find her a donor, and she keeps on getting worse.

I've already borrowed everything I could, but…

it still isn't enough.

Things got desperate.

Then one of my oldest clients heard about our situation.

They came to us, said they wanted to help.

So I borrowed money from them.

It wasn't a bribe, but it looked like it.

So I got in trouble, and was fired from my job.

After I'd given them my best years.

Entering these games was my last hope.

I know what you meant,

Mr. 456, about the prize money, what it costs.

I really do.

But still…

I have to win that prize money, even if the cost is other people's lives.

I wanna use it to…

To save my wife, and our child.

And I don't care how I get it.

Close him up.

Why? Can't use any of it?

What the hell?

What happened? Where's the rest?

None of the organs were any good.

This one's been dead so long we were only able to save the eyes.

Told you not to kill them. Need them breathing if we want anything good.

What are you talking about? I left a bunch alive for you.

Well, someone else popped that guy in the head to finish the job.

Same with that one over there.

Took one shot to the leg, and then another in the head.

Who's fucking doing this?

Identity confirmed.

Sir. Reporting from the surgery room.

How did we do?

Well, sir, most were shot in the head or chest and died immediately.

The ones without fatal wounds were shot again to confirm the kill.

So there's not much usable merchandise.

Who fired those shots?

I think it was Number 011.

Number 011.

The Officer wants to see you.

Identity confirmed.

You wanted to see me, sir?

Take your mask off.

I told you not to interfere if you weren't going to assist us.

I heard you shot the players who were still breathing

so you could confirm the kills.

I did the task that was given to me.

How long has it been…

since we met each other?

I can't recall at this point.

If memory serves…

it was right around seven years ago.

The very first time I went to see you,

you were lying in your bed in that dusty old hospital,

just staring up at the ceiling like a zombie.

I couldn't believe you killed the team pursuing you with one rifle

and got past the fences at the Demarcation Line

without any kind of help at all.

I saw you in that bed and felt sorry for you.

So I decided to give you a chance to start over.

And I'll always be grateful for your help, sir.

Then you should do what you're told.

Sir, I don't think I will.

You worried the boss is going to find out?

That shouldn't concern you.

Last time we had a player do the surgeries

in exchange for information about the games they were going to play.

This time, we actually brought a doctor here ourselves.

There's no way anyone will find out about it, and even if they do--

That's not my issue.

Then what is it, huh?

When you met me, you said…

you wanted to find the kid you'd left behind.

And if I can make that happen you'd do anything.

Has something changed?

Back when you first told me what I'd have to do in here,

the way you said it was

I'd be helping people with no hope

end their misery so they wouldn't have to suffer anymore.

And I believed you.

That's the reason I came here.

You've changed, sir, not me.

Either way they'll end up dead.

All we're doing is using their organs to help save others.

What's wrong with that?

If there's nothing else for me, I would like to be dismissed.

SEOUL DOBONG POLICE STATION

Whoa, Detective Hwang, been a while.

Hwang Jun-ho!

You hand in your resignation without telling me anything?

And why the hell have you been ignoring my calls?

You know what I had to do to change this to a leave of absence after your stunt?

Hi, Chief. Are you finished yet?

What?

I need you to help me, sir.

Okay. At this point, what else can I do, huh?

Look for that stupid island again or something?!

Yeah.

Not this shit.

We need to begin the search immediately.

Stalling now puts not only Mr. Seong in danger,

but everyone else that's being forced to play.

I'm confused. Weren't we done with this a while ago?

Please, sir. It's not the same. Things have changed since back then.

If we don't stop them now, we might never get the opportunity again. Okay?

-Chief Kim. -Sir.

Why's he back on this?

You said he'd improved.

Jun-ho, listen. Go to counselling. It's nothing to be ashamed--

Sir, you're not hearing me!

Are you really gonna sit here and let those people die?

How long will you keep insisting on this ridiculous story!

If it's real, bring me proof!

We depend on evidence. Evidence!

Accept his resignation.

He's beyond help now.

But, I… Sir…

Oh, what a disaster. Hey!

I told you this wouldn't work.

There's no way you'll be reinstated now, idiot!

Sir! I'll make sure he gets counselling, okay?

Sir, wait! Just a moment!

You see? What'd I tell you? The police are useless. Never go to them.

Then we'll do it on our own.

Two teams searching at the same time should have a chance.

Yeah. Captain Park found us another boat through one of his friends or whatever.

And I hired us a few new guys, and divided them up into Teams 1 and 2.

Okay, great. Good to hear.

If the games have already started that means we have five days left at most.

-We gotta move fast as possible. -All right, got it.

I set up everything to get us back on the water as soon as the weather clears.

I'll see you soon, okay?

Come on, we can't sail today, so you might as well relax a little.

Captain, are you sure we can take the boats out tomorrow?

I checked the forecast and it still wasn't looking too great.

Look, kid.

I've been sailing for 30 years.

All these damn forecasters

sit in their cubicles and stare at computers every minute,

and they're gonna tell me what's going on?

Okay. I won't argue with you. If we can't go tomorrow, it's your fault.

So, why the big rush? Huh?

Jun-ho and I have spent two years looking for this place.

How are we gonna find it now?

It's supposed to be a secret, which means I can't really get into all the details.

We know this one guy who's actually there at the island right now.

I hope he's okay.

The man who was in the games?

Huh?

Who…

Hold on, Captain. You already know about Mr. Seong?

Oh, well, Jun-ho did kind of fill me in.

You already know? Then I can just tell you the whole story.

So this guy, Seong Gi-hun,

he apparently won these games a few years ago.

He wants to get back at the folks running it,

so he hid this tracker thing in a molar

and went out to the island again on his own.

Only, I still don't know how they caught on to us.

That means those wild stories Jun-ho told were all true?

Yeah.

I only did all this,

the whole searching for the mystery island thing

'cause I connected to the kid after saving his life.

Ah, I thought all that crap was in his head,

with the games, and the 45.6 billion won.

Captain, I didn't believe this crap at first, just like you.

But it's real. As real as that drink sitting right in front of you.

I saw the masked guys with my very own eyes.

At this club one of them tased me in the neck, just like that.

The masked guys tased you?

-Yeah! -Ah, now I get it.

That's why you brought these guys with you, right?

Oh, shit.

Those eyes, they sure aren't kidding around.

-Like a swarm of sharks. -Listen, Captain.

These guys we're dealing with, they're merciless.

We were looking for them when my boss got…

Anyway, now you know everything.

That's what we're dealing with. Got it?

Either we all live, or we all die.

No one's gonna die.

I've had that boat for ten years at this point. Okay?

In all that time,

there's never been one accident on that ship.

Not even a stubbed toe.

Hey. I'll leave it in your capable hands.

Players, welcome to the second game.

We will begin shortly.

The triangle's the easiest, right?

Yeah.

Wait, wait, wait, what? What the hell kinda shape is that?

Even an ex-Marine couldn't get that out!

Really? This one's the easiest to get out?

Oh, God, what is this? What's going on?

Everybody's going to die because this guy said, "Pick triangle"!

I didn't…

You told everyone to go here.

How are you gonna make it right? What are you gonna do to fix this?

-This isn't-- -You said you already played this before!

-I don't-- -How are you gonna fix this?

You're going to kill us all! It's your fault!

It's your fault! It's your fault!

It's your fault!

Looking good.

Jun-hee!

So you really didn't know I was here?

I thought you were intentionally ignoring me.

That tracks.

If it's not about you, you don't care.

What are you doing in here?

What do you think?

You told me to buy that crypto. Did you forget?

You're…

Oh. Guess you didn't forget that.

What about the abortion? You said that you'd get it.

Well, I didn't.

How do you expect to raise a kid if you don't have any kind of money?

I'm gonna make some.

I'll get enough to pay off my debts, and find a house.

I'll do it by myself since I guess my kid's never gonna know his dad.

So you're just here for the money too?

Look at you. What are you…

How the hell is a pregnant woman gonna survive here?

I'm not asking for help, so you can quit acting all worried.

Why start now?

You came here to say that?

No. I wanted to check out your bruises.

They suit you.

Your attention, please.

The second game will begin momentarily.

Please follow the staff's instructions

and swiftly make your way towards the game hall.

-I will now repeat the instructions. -Hey.

-Once we get out, we should talk. -The second game will begin momentarily.

-Please follow the staff's instructions. -I already tried to go.

And swiftly make your way towards the game hall.

I couldn't because you wanted to stay.

Gi-hun.

Team triangle.

All right, buddy, we're all counting on you.

Oh…

Yeah.

What you got?

Don't worry about it.

It's time to play a game. Let's do this.

Just pick triangle.

Players, welcome to the second game.

We will begin shortly.

This game will be played in teams.

Please take the next ten minutes to divide into groups of five.

I will now repeat the instructions.

This game will be played in teams.

You will be given ten minutes to divide into teams of five.

Dalgona is not a team game though, right?

It is still Dalgona, isn't it?

Uh…

I don't think it is, no.

If not Dalgona, then what?

I don't know what we're playing.

What? You said you'd done this before.

With the triangle, remember?

Or were you lying?

-I don't know, I'm sorry. -You're sorry?!

Not as cocky as you were yesterday.

What are you gonna do about everyone who voted to stay because of your crap?

How are you gonna make it right?

That's enough.

Please divide into teams starting now.

Yeah, don't bother.

Why are we even trying to reason with this crazy bastard?

In the end, we should've seen though his bullshit.

Sir, I'd be honored if you'd team up with me.

Sure, yeah, you won the games, crazy asshole.

Triangle Dalgona. Fucking bullshit.

Sir, who should we team up with?

It's not Dalgona?

Is that what he just said?

-Yeah, it seems so. -So then what do we do now?

-Let's go. -Go? Where are we going?

We need to find a good team. That's the next step.

Now come, hurry, or else we won't get into a good one.

Okay.

I really am sorry.

For what it's worth, I still trust you.

If it'd be all right with you, I'd like for us to be teammates.

Yeah. I don't know what we're doing, but we should still man up and try.

These games are for kids anyway.

He and I used to play tons growing up.

And I feel the same way.

Sir, I'll play with you three.

If we work together, then nothing can stand in our way.

Yeah, well said, Marine.

It would've been embarrassing anyways. Imagine Marines having to play Dalgona.

-Marines! -If we're gonna do this,

then I wanna play a real game that's worth the risk.

Something like Buck Buck or Squid Game. Don't you think?

Yeah.

Sir, I swear, I'll put my life on the line to win.

All right. Time to recruit one more person.

Sir, you can count on me. I'll go find a fifth for us.

Okay, Marine. Go and find us another brave soul, is that clear?

Sir! Yes, sir!

Dismissed.

Jun-hee.

Let's do this together.

Thanks, but no.

-You're still gonna need to be on a team. -Not if you're on it.

Stop acting tough, come on.

Look at you, you think anyone else will let you join?

What's it to you, huh? I'll handle it on my own.

Listen, I'm sorry I never called.

Things were really rough for me too.

You know how many lunatics were out to get me

after everything that went down.

You ignored every one of my calls for six months.

I thought you died, asshole.

I get it. I'm so sorry.

Now can we just get on a team together?

If you don't make it out of this place alive,

then you're never gonna have this kid.

I don't trust you.

You're nothing. You're dead to me.

-But that might not work. -Hey. Look, how about that one?

-Because he looks like a runner? -Uh-huh.

I told you, we don't know if it's a race…

If you need one more teammate, I…

We're actually good.

Excuse me.

I was wondering… Would you like to do this together?

-It's about physical strength only. -Hi, hello. You need two, right?

Um, there's two of us. You think we could join you?

Oh, yeah, sure. That sounds great.

-Uh, so, where's the other guy? -Ah.

Sorry, buddy.

You know, we're just looking for something else.

Ah, I see.

Find some way to ditch Grandma here, we'll let you join. Huh?

That grandma is actually my mother.

Yong-sik, go join those men, okay? Your mother will find her own way.

Argh! Oh, for God's sake, Ma, will you stop it?

I won't abandon you.

And what's going on, why are you so down?

You're usually so bossy and loud. Huh?

Hey, look at me. I wanna see fire in those eyes, okay?

Go on, lay into me like usual, start cussing, shout!

Why, you brat, I didn't raise you to shout in your own mother's face.

-You little shit! -Yeah!

-You need to learn to respect you elders! -There she is. That's what you needed.

Oh. Come on, look, look, right there. There's a team, see?

The last one.

Hello, nice to meet you.

What's your name?

I'm Park Min-su.

Why'd you come here anyway?

Señorita, excuse me.

I want you to join our team.

Uh, why should I?

Don't you know who this is? The rap god, Thanos.

♪ Don't need a snap Kill half the universe with a rap ♪

Hey, wait a minute. We don't know what we're playing. Picking a woman is--

Thanos the Great will protect you. Don't worry.

Oh.Thanos, huh?

So, you manage to collect all the Infinity Stones?

Of course.

I'll destroy anybody who dares stand in the way of my greatness!

You stick with me from now on, and you'll be safe, okay?

Yeah, about that…

So I was already talking to someone else, and--

No problem. Who is it?

What's your name?

Oh. I'm Min-su.

I'm getting mad loser vibes from this dude. Don't--

What's up? Nice to meet you, my brother.

-Welcome to the Thanos world. -Uh… Oh.

You're cute. Come on.

-Sir, sir. I found someone. -Oh. Good.

-He'll put his life on the line to win. -Ah.

Ready, sir!

Hey, were you in the Marines?

That's right! Cohort 946!

Look at that.

With three Marines on our team, this is gonna be easy.

What do you guys think? I like him.

Excuse me.

Do you think I could join you guys?

I'm sorry, we got our fifth player a second ago.

Please help me.

I… I'm pregnant.

Oh, wow, her belly's big.

Attention, the team selection period will end shortly.

-Would you like to… -Do you two need…

You insolent fools! How dare you!

You should've sought me out first thing. But instead I had to come to you?

How insulting.

I ought to cut you to shreds with a straw cutter.

The team selection period is now over.

The game you will participate in today is a Six-Legged Pentathlon.

Team members will start with their legs tied together.

At each ten-meter interval on the track,

one member of the team will play a mini-game.

If that player wins,

the team can move on to the next challenge.

The mini-games are as follows:

Game one, Ddakji.

Game two, Flying Stone.

Game three, Gong-gi.

Game four, Spinning Top.

And finally, game five, Jegi.

You will have five minutes.

To win, you must complete all mini-games

and cross the finish line before the time runs out.

-Now please decide which player… -Choose one.

-…will be assigned to each mini-game. -Pick.

What are you thinking?

It's good we got a woman, after all.

You play Gong-gi, right?

I don't get it. Do girls not play Gong-gi anymore?

No, not even once.

Hmm.

Um, I can do Gong-gi. Um, I can play it.

A Marine who knows Gong-gi?

Uh, yeah. Growing up, I had, uh, four older sisters.

And that meant lots of Gong-gi with them at home, so I learned how to play.

'Course you did!

A Marine can do anything, right? Hmm!

For the rest of them, we should each choose the one we think we're the best at.

Ddakji for me.

Uh, even against the subway guy, I still won way more than he did.

Okay. Great.

Uh, so Player 222 takes Ddakji and I'll play Flying Stone.

You know the company we worked at?

I pitched for their baseball team. I can easily throw a stone.

That means just Jegi and Spinning Top are left.

Which of those works for you?

I don't know, but…

I'll do whichever one you think, Gi-hun.

How did you know my name?

Ah, your… your friend over here, I heard him call you that.

So I thought I'd try it out too.

Does it bother you?

Uh, no, I…

No, I don't mind it.

So then, Gi-hun, what are you good at?

Uh, I don't know, I…

I guess I know Jegi the best.

Hmm. That's fine. I'll do Spinning Top.

-Great. -Hands in, everyone. You ready?

We can do this.

On the count of three, everyone say "Victory."

-One, two, three. -Victory!

Team 1 and Team 2, get ready to play.

-Let's go! -Yeah!

With that, let the game begin.

Let's get it. Whoo!

One, two! One, two!

One, two! One, two! One, two! One!

Success.

One, two! One, two! One, two!

One, two! One, two! One, two!

Fail.

One, two! One, two! One, two!

Okay, focus. This is it. Focus. Go.

Line it up slowly, and throw.

Do not step over the line.

Easy. Okay.

Shit!

GIve me another stone, hurry. Come on.

-No, what? -Okay.

-Come on! Let's go. -Hurry.

Ready, and… One, two! One, two! One, two!

Grab it!

Flying Stone's hard.

You miss one, and it'll be difficult to recover.

Success.

One, two! One, two! One, two! One, two! One, two!

One, two! One, two! One, two!

Welcome to Gong-gi.

You must toss and grab each stone consecutively,

and then catch all five stones at once.

Five at once, okay. I got it.

-Here, let's sit down. -Careful now, I got you.

There's no time! You have to hurry!

We still have time. Stay calm and don't hurry. Aim your shot.

-And stay focused. -You got this.

We're still okay. We'll be--

-Come on, guys, let's go! -Ready, and…

One, two! One, two! One, two!

-Look at her. -Good.

-Flip 'em all. -Finish it, one go!

Fail.

-Please start over from the beginning. -Dae-ho.

Practice that flip while we wait.

-Oh, sure. -Good.

We're gonna do fine. It's like this.

Your see it, right? It's an easy throw.

Aim at it and just throw it already! Go on!

You son of bitch, you can't even throw a rock?

-I thought you said you were good at this! -We gotta get it!

Let's go!

One, two! One, two! One, two!

You see what she just did?

-Okay. -Good.

Good, now finish it. All in one go. So we can move on.

-All in one. -Don't screw this up!

I need quiet!

-You did it! -You got 'em all!

Success.

-Hurry, get up! -Line up. We have to go fast.

-Hold on. I need to get my arm around. -Hey, hey, look.

-I got it. -Don't rush this, okay?

Take it slow and hit it. Come on. Aim it.

-Fail. -He knocked it down!

The player stepped over the line.

You didn't check the line before you threw?

You fucking idiot! Why the fuck would you step on the line!

That's enough, there's no time. We have to go get the stone.

-All right. Come on. -Let's go.

One, two! One, two! One, two!

You have to wrap it up tight. No, listen, it's okay. Look.

Just stay calm, relax. Go again, you're fine.

Okay, okay, okay.

Please… Please!

-You stupid fuck. -You son of a bitch.

You just killed us. We're all gonna fucking die because of you. Oh, my God.

Let's go.

Go.

-Come on, pick it up. -We have to try again.

What are you doing?

Come on. Grab it!

Hurry up and grab it!

Hmm. I think messing up Spinning Top is gonna take even longer to recover from.

One, two! One, two! One, two!

Excuse me. Sure you want Spinning Top?

Uh, if you don't feel confident, then let me do it instead.

The gods of heaven and earth choose the path

and mine is already decided.

You idiots, you can stay right where you are.

I don't like how that skank disrespects us.

Being a shaman doesn't make her special.

Please.

Hurry, do it!

-I did it! -Success.

I did it!

I'm done, I'm done. I hit it.

And I didn't step on the line either.

Fucking idiot. You fucking idiot!

Success.

We did it. Okay, here we go.

-All right. -Hurry up, hurry!

Hey, see? We did it. Guys, I… Oh!

No, wait. Don't shoot. No! Don't… don't do it!

Time's up. You did not pass the finish line.

The following players have been eliminated:

Players 016, 045, 178, 189, 198,

254, 286, 341, 395 and 416.

We should have left!

Now we're all gonna die!

We're gonna die because half of you said you wanted to keep doing this!

Now what are you gonna do?!

You think you won't die like they did?

-Those teams just died because of you. -What?

Yo, think you could give me a taste of one of those?

Huh?

The things inside the cross around your neck.

I saw you take one earlier.

I don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

If I get nervous and screw up, that means we'll all go down.

Look at my hands, dude. They're shaking like crazy.

-Attention, players. -Look, Nam-su.

-Nam-gyu. -Look, Nam-gyu.

Please wait as our staff tidies up the game hall

before the start of the next race.

You know what this is?

Ecstasy?

Ketamine?

No, this is brand-new, and it's fucking crazy, man.

It's too much for you.

Dude.

When I was a promoter, I did all of it, bro.

You used to go to the club when I worked there.

I would bring in all kinds of that crazy exotic shit for you.

You little junkie.

What's wrong?

Oh, it's nothing.

What's your name, again?

Oh, um, Min-su.

Min-su.

Min-su, what's that old Admiral Yi Sun-sin quote?

"Those who seek life shall die. Those who seek death shall live."

Okay, everyone? Just go in like you're gonna die anyway.

Tell yourself you don't care what happens to you.

We'll win this thing, take our cash, and get the fuck out of here.

Hey, don't order us around.

Me?

Yeah, you. Nice shaky hands, asshole.

Look who's on her period.

I told you we shouldn't let a girl join. They're too emotional.

That's so pathetic.

Look who's talking, nervous tweaker.

Fuck you, bitch.

Attention, all players.

Please wait patiently as our staff tidies up the game hall

before the start of the next race.

Open it.

That's an order.

You can save me.

Will the next two teams please rise?

Hey, look at me.

My name's Cho Hyun-ju.

What's yours?

Young-mi.

Kim Young-mi.

Listen, from the very second you asked to play together,

I believed in you.

I could feel how brave you were, Young-mi.

Now I need you to believe in yourself same as I do.

Can you do that?

I will try.

That's right. I'm Jang Geum-ja, and I lived through the Korean War.

So I know a few playground games won't kill me.

All right, come on. Let's do this. Together, we can win this.

Yeah, and I'm the son of Jang Geum-ja, who is a survivor.

Park Yong-sik. Hi.

And you? Your name is?

Seon-nyeo.

Shaman of the Sea.

Team, listen up. We can get through this together.

Okay? Let's show all the other players here

that these games are nothing to us.

I know we can do it.

Team 3 and Team 4, get ready to play.

One, two. One, two. One, two. One, two. One, two. One, two.

Grab it, come on. Hurry. Go, pick it up.

Good. Throw it hard. You can do it.

Fail.

Okay. Again. Don't hold back. Smash it.

Fail.

Again. Go on. Throw it.

Fail.

It's okay. Go again.

What are you doing? Pick it up and throw it!

It's okay. Just pick it up. You can do it.

Wait a minute, Young-mi.

-Try with it flipped. Use the other side. -Throw it the other way. Yeah.

Go on. You got this. Now.

Success.

Great job.

All right, everyone. Let's go.

Come on. Ready?

One, two. One, two. One, two. One, two.

Ugh. Makes me anxious. I can't watch.

One, two. One, two. One, two.

All right, I got this.

You can do it.

-Damn it! Sorry, everyone. -It's okay.

-I missed it. I'm sorry. -It's okay.

Now just listen. We're all gonna go pick up the rock.

-And… -One, two.

One, two. One, two. One, two. One…

Now, we go backwards.

One, two. One, two…

See that? Looks like you save a lot of time

if you don't have to turn around.

Those guys can move even faster backwards.

-Okay. -We're here.

Please, please.

Okay. Here we go.

Come on.

Yong-sik, concentrate.

Try to imagine that stone is the face of the conman

who swindled you out of your money. All right?

You destroyed my life, you fucker. You ruined everything!

Success.

They can do it. They can really win this one.

One, two. One, two.

Hurry up! You old hag--

Mom, didn't you always say

during the War, you used to play Gong-gi with bullets?

Ma, think of it like this:

Try to pretend that's the hair of that bitch Dad cheated with.

You hussy. Disgusting, rotten whore!

-Success. -She did it!

Okay, guys. Everyone ready?

One, two. One, two.

Quick, run. Go, go, hurry!

One, two. One, two. One two…

Uh, no, no, wait. You wrap the axle first.

Yeah, I know that.

Don't look at the clock. There's still plenty of time.

What's going on? You need help? You do know how to play this, don't you?

Stop talking to me.

Gently, gently.

Can someone shut up Granny?

It's okay.

Why's this taking so long?

She needs to try to hold up the top.

Oh, gods of heaven and earth, have mercy on this poor soul.

Oh, gods of heaven and earth, have mercy on this poor soul.

Oh, gods hear this plea and help me.

Have mercy on me, set me on the right path.

Oh, gods of heaven and earth, have mercy on this poor soul.

Gods, please…

The gods of heaven and earth chose to abandon us.

-The gods have left us to die. -She's lost her mind.

She had to go crazy on us now.

The gods are going to let us die.

Snap out of it, please.

We're all going to die--

If you give up now, I'll kill you before any of your damn gods can.

Now do it.

Hurry!

Success.

Come on, come on, come on!

One, two! One, two! One, two!

You must kick the jegi five times to pass.

No one watch me, okay?

-What? -Please.

-Ah… Uh, sure. -You too. Everybody turn.

Turn, don't look!

Turn around, everyone! You heard her. Look away.

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

-And five! -You hit five!

I heard it!

Success.

One, two! One, two! One, two! One, two!

Don't get too worked up, okay?

I knew they would never abandon us.

Thank you for guiding us to victory.

SQUID GAME 2

EPISODE 5 ONE MORE GAME

One, two! One…

What the fuck?!

One, two, three, four, five!

One, two, three, four, five!

One, two. One, two. One, two. One, two.

The final two teams, get ready to play.

It's weird to be the only ones who don't get an audience, isn't it?

Hey, you afraid?

No, sir!

Uh, it's… it's actually a good thing we're alone.

It's quiet, so it'll be easier for us to focus on playing.

Hey, guys!

We'll see you again when we all pass the finish line! Victory!

Hell yeah! We'll see you safe on the other side!

-Thanks for saying that! -See you later!

-Good luck out there! -I believe in you.

Okay. Everyone ready to go?

We got this, I have faith.

Besides, we've got a previous winner with us.

One, two. One, two. One, two. One, two.

Success.

-Nice work! -Let's go. Ready, set!

One, two! One, two! One, two!

Knock it over. I believe in you, sir! Get it in one!

Back when I used to pitch, I never threw very fast,

but the ball always went where I wanted.

Success.

Okay. Ready, set!

One, two! One, two!

I knew you could do it, sir!

Don't be nervous, we got this!

Here we go.

Okay, Dae-ho. Just try to stay calm. Even if you miss.

Success.

You're amazing, Dae-ho! Insane.

-Okay. Let's go! -Get up!

Ready, set!

One, two! One, two! One, two!

We've got lots of time. We're fine!

Don't push yourself with the baby.

Hey, mister, take your time. There's no rush.

At this rate, the whole team might get it on the first try.

It's okay. Look, we still got time to spare.

Now, let's go get it. Ready? Set.

One, two…

-It'd be boring to win everything fast. -Yeah, that's a good point.

'Cause if you're ever gonna grow, you need to fail first, right?

Yeah.

All right, backwards. Ready, set.

One, two. One, two. One, two…

You're fine. Relax.

Everything's okay now. Just stay calm and don't rush yourself.

Hold on, give me some room. There.

-Oh, shit. -Fail.

Sorry, guys. That's on me.

-It's okay. Let's just go get it. -I didn't mean to--

Yeah? Okay, ready?

One, two. One, two.

How the fuck did you do that?

That takes real talent, doesn't it?

You taking a break down there? Get up.

Good. Now go forward. Ready? Set.

One, two, one, two…

-Wait, hold on. I need my arms. -What's wrong?

Ah, shit, what the hell's going on?

Just calm down. Breath and relax.

Okay.

Now. Slowly, slowly…

Wait, don't throw it--

-Ah, shit -Fail.

-We really are cutting it-- -Pull it together, what the hell!

Just--

You piece of fucking shit! You ruin everything!

You're worthless!

Hey!

No one's blaming any of this on you!

Now, take a deep breath, okay?

You played this when you were a kid. Try to recapture how that felt.

Good. Now, deep breaths.

Deep breaths. Like that. Stay calm.

You're okay.

Good. Take your time. Don't rush.

All right? Nice and calm.

Okay.

Success.

-Come on, let's go! Ready, set! -All right.

One, two. One, two.

How are you doing?

Are you okay?

I know how to play.

One, two, three, four…

Oh, he did it! He hit it!

He did it! You saw it!

-Success. -Come on. Let's go!

Ready, set!

-One, two! One, two! -Hurry!

Let's go!

You all right?

We did it.

We're all--

The following players have been eliminated:

Player 135, Player 239, Player 263, Player 415…

Ah, fuck me. So many survived.

Hey.

Yo.

How many are we at now, you think?

What?

I'm asking you how many cockroaches do you think made it out of the last game?

Uh, I'd say about 200. Yeah.

How'd you know that?

You AI?

Go around and count 'em up.

You mean now?

-Oh. Okay. -Mmm-hmm.

Hey, hold on. Don't be an idiot. Why bother counting?

Those masked guys'll come in and tell us soon, anyway.

Just shut the fuck up, bitch, okay?

Stop it.

What was your name?

Oh. Min-su.

How old are you?

Uh, I'm 27.

You were born… '97.

So, why take that shit from him?

You're both the same age.

-Right, Nam-su? You're '97? -Nam-gyu.

-Yeah, Nam-gyu. Weren't you born in '97? -Yeah.

Then you're the same age. Play nice, all right?

We need our teamwork tight. Okay?

How old are you?

I was born in '98.

Okay. You?

'96.

That settles it.

Gyeong-su is the youngest,

you two are the same, and you're the noona.

Hey, Nam-su.

Call her noona, man.

Do it.

Unnie.

Could I ask you something?

Yeah.

How did you know the ddakji would flip better using the other side?

Uh…

As a kid, I was really good at ddakji.

We all used to play it after school.

And, um,

the flip was my special strategy.

Ah.

Hey, Hyun-ju, I have a question too, if it's all right.

Sure.

It's just, when you were kicking the jegi,

how come you had to make us all turn around?

Ah.

I… I kind of…

You shy or something? Is that what it is, huh?

It's not that. It's just…

I just don't feel quite done yet.

What? What isn't done?

Uh, Ma, stop. Leave her alone.

You always ask such personal questions.

It's all right.

There are still a few surgeries I'm waiting to get done.

Oh.

So, when someone stares, I just feel…

What type of surgery?

Ah, that kind of surgery! That's where those are from, right?

Of course that's it.

-I thought they were too big-- -Jesus!

-Come on. Stop. -Stop it.

That's enough, Mom. Sorry. Ignore her.

What? More of these assholes made it through?

Hey, look, it's the team with that nutcase.

Ah, god damn it, we're screwed.

After all that, we'll barely get any more money.

-That young lady, she made it. -Who?

That tiny thing in the group that just walked in.

Doesn't seem like they're too happy to see us.

That old lady's nice. I like her.

Oh, I miss my mom!

Attention. Today's work schedule has ended.

All active staff, please take this time to return to your rooms.

I thought she'd be some kinda freak under the mask.

But check out the face on her. Not too bad.

You know what they say about girls from the North.

What are you doing? You know this is against the rules.

Rules? Get the fuck out of here.

If you weren't gonna help us, you should've stayed out of our way.

I'm going to report this.

And who's gonna listen, the Officer?

How long did you think that lifeline was gonna last, huh?

He's already cut you lose, you're done.

I can lay it all out for you if it isn't clear yet. Huh?

This little situation you're in…

Bitch.

Fucking Commie's got a little fight!

I'm torn. Should I ruin that pretty little face of yours?

Or get rid of these, so you can't pull your trigger anymore?

Final warning, little girl.

If you get in our way one more time,

I'll slice your fingers off one by one and burn them in the incinerator.

Then I'll have a little fun with you.

I'm sorry about earlier. I don't know what happened.

-It's okay. -Hey, it's fine.

During Jegi, if you hadn't stepped in to help with that last part,

I never would've made it.

Hey, 222, you doing all right?

Yeah.

And thank you again for letting me join you guys.

Remember the first round?

The ddakji flipped, like, bam! Right on her first try.

-Yeah. -That was so cool.

And for a pregnant lady, you were fast too.

Since she joined she's been kinda like our good-luck charm, right?

And, sir, you were incredible at Flying Stone.

You just lined it up and… First try!

And I saw, you threw it underhand, like…

-Bam! Like that. -Oh, come on.

It was like watching Kim Byung-hyun throw.

Me? What about you? You were a Gong-gi machine, like…

All in one move. Like someone from a kung-fu movie.

It was nothing.

Since I was her only son, you know,

my mother only let me hang out at home with my sisters.

Yet she sent her little boy to the Marines. How'd that work?

That was my dad's idea, so…

He thought I should be tougher.

He fought over in Vietnam back when he was younger, actually.

Oh. He sounds like a great man.

-Yeah. -So your father was a Marine too, then?

Uh… Hold on, sir. Sorry, but please excuse me a second.

I was thinking, what if we go around and say what our real names are?

I still don't know what to call either of you.

Same goes for you, Miss 222.

I'll go first. Kang Dae-ho.

"Dae" as in "huge." "Ho" as in "tiger."

Now that's a cool name right there.

Well, so, my name is Park Jung-bae.

Means "righteous" and "double."

So, I should be living twice as righteously.

And I'm Kim Jun-hee.

I don't think I know what it stands for.

Jun-hee, once we're out of here, go straight to a hospital.

You've been under a lot of stress. You should get yourself checked out.

Right.

Oh Young-il, that's me.

-Young-il? -Yeah.

You know, like "yeong il." "Zero one" in Korean.

It's hard to forget.

Oh, that's crazy! Your name's the number you were given.

And what's your full name?

I just know you as Gi-hun.

Oh, right, um… Seong Gi-hun's my full name.

-Seong Gi-hun. -Seong Gi-hun.

Like our un-"Seong" hero?

You have made it through yet another game in the series.

Congratulations to you all.

Now, if I may please have your attention,

I will announce the results of the second game.

Over the course of the game,

another 110 players were eliminated,

bringing the total prize money to 20.1 billion won.

The remaining 255 players

would each receive 78,823,000,530 won.

Hold on, what? That's not even 100 million.

Man, that's not even 80.

You said 110 died?

No, the total had to be way higher than that.

Are you sure you guys didn't miss anyone?

We saw you shoot all those people. There were only 110?

-No way that's right! -Yeah, there's gotta be more dead!

Is this shit some kind of joke?

I almost died two times now, and this is all I get?

I'd get more if I let some stranger beat the shit outta me.

Your disappointment about the prize money

is completely understandable.

However, please remember

that we always keep the door open for you to explore other opportunities.

On that note, we will now begin the vote

that will determine if you would like to continue to the next game.

Whether you stay here and continue playing to increase your winnings

or stop the games now and leave

is a decision that we leave entirely up to you.

We want you to feel empowered to exercise this right

in a free and democratic manner.

-Yong-sik. -Yeah?

If we do all end up going home today,

I'll make us a little kimchi-jjigae, with aged kimchi and everything.

Yeah, with pork up the wazoo.

Oh, now I'm getting hungry.

Listen, I feel like meeting you two here was destiny.

Once we're all back and things are how they used to be,

maybe you could all come over for dinner?

We'll make them some samgyeopsal.

You would do that?

What, are you kidding me? Of course!

While our home isn't huge or anything,

it's got enough room for the four of us to share a meal.

It's even wide enough to lay down. Like a sleepover.

Unnie, do you…

do you wanna go, too?

Oh, I should ask. Whereabouts do you two live?

We're over in Bongcheon-dong.

Wait, for real? I live in Sillim-dong.

Shut up! We're practically neighbors.

And, Hyun-ju, where do you live? Ah, Seoul?

No, Gwangmyeong.

Ah, good! My house is a 30-minute bus ride from you.

How on earth did we all end up living so close?

That can't be a coincidence, this is fate.

I mean, isn't that crazy?

Oh, don't worry.

I also want to stop here.

I want to get out, go to the hospital, and be with my wife.

Sir. This time, we'll get out of this place

Knowing when it's time to retreat is essential to being a good Marine.

Isn't that right, sir?

Uh, yeah, yeah, of course. Yeah.

Marines only have one life, just like everyone else.

We should leave.

We need to end the games here, by any means possible.

I swear I'll help you, all of you, once we're out of this place.

And all I want in return is to have your support during the vote.

All right. Here we go. Let's say "Victory" on the count of three.

-On three. One, two, three. -Victory!

Hmm!

Unlike last time, we will begin voting with Player 001.

Player 001, please cast your vote.

Player 006.

Player 007.

Uh, excuse me. Sorry.

Yong-sik.

Don't get any dumb ideas, now.

If you and I added up our shares,

that's over 150 million.

With all that, we'd pay your debt off for good.

And with the rest, open one of those nice little farm stands.

-That sound good? -Uh-huh.

Uh-huh?

Hey, hurry it up! You performing a ritual?

Shut up!

Gods give me a sign, show me the path.

Guide my hand, I am your vessel.

-Better not fuck this up. -Huh?

Hmm?

-This. -Player 048.

Like we agreed. We do one more, and then get out. Right?

Mmm-hmm?

Player 125.

Player 126.

Wait a minute, wait a minute. Excuse me.

-Everyone-- -Have you lost you minds?

You stood by and watched them kill all those people,

and you still want to go on?

You think you won't be the next one to die?

If you keep going,

we're all gonna die!

Use your heads for once.

Take that and get out.

You need to survive, then you can think about the future.

Oh, yeah? What does 70 million do for us, huh?

I don't know how much debt you're in, my good man,

but for all these folks, that prize isn't nearly enough money.

It won't cover a tenth of what I owe.

You agree, I know.

We can't worry about what's next.

That chump change won't do a damn thing!

That's fuckin' right!

If I just took that, I know I wouldn't be able to last long.

Game one was 25 mil.

Game two was 78 mil.

That means after each round,

the total more than tripled after the count.

So then, if we play one more,

that will bring our total to at least 240 million!

I can't do this anymore, I wanna go.

Please don't do this.

I wanna go home, just let us out of here.

I just…

I just wanna leave and go home. More than anything.

I don't want to die in here.

Miss,

you're still a very young woman.

You could start again someday.

I don't have that choice.

I wanna go, please. I can't stay here.

My family and I, we have no future.

I owed more than 500 million when I lost my business.

For us to have a chance,

I need to make it out with at least half that.

I want my family to have a shot at a fresh start.

And what if you die?

Your family won't even see your body. You think they'd really want that?

If they lose you, that's it. It's over. You're dead!

And they get nothing!

Can't you see that?

Oh, fuck that, don't let him scare you!

Ddakji.

Red Light, Green Light.

Spinning Top!

These are kids' games. None of this is actually hard.

Plus, look.

There's still 255 of us.

And that means, over half the players got this far!

We've come all this way already, right? So let's just play one more game!

Well said, young man. There's no point in voting to stop.

You all heard him.

You know these kids' games inside out.

-It's why you're all still alive! -Yeah!

Right? So let's keep playing!

Until we all get what we came for.

Just one more game. No more, no less!

Yeah. One more game, we can do it!

One more game!

One more game! One more game! One more game!

139 "O"s to 116 "X"s.

Based on the majority's decision,

all players will proceed to the third game tomorrow morning.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Thanks so much, bro.

Thanks so much.

Hey, Noona.

How can you not be scared?

Of what?

Being here. The games.

No, I am.

Then why'd you vote to keep playing?

Hmm.

Right now, if I left this place,

I'd have to face something even scarier.

And you can stop with the "Noona."

I was born in '98. Just don't tell those pricks.

Ma?

Ma, are you angry?

Don't call me Ma, you brainless little shit.

Mom, I'm sorry.

But I… I can't go home yet, not with what's in there now.

What do you mean?

I might owe a little more than I told you.

How much?

Uh, 100 million.

I took out a loan at one of those illegal casinos.

If I don't pay it off by next month,

it'll get ugly.

They said if I can't get them the money in time,

they're going to harvest my eyes, liver, and kidneys.

I know these guys'll go through with it.

That's the reason I haven't been around a lot.

It wasn't safe at home.

Look, I promise you, just this one.

And after that, I'll vote to end it.

One more, and I'll have enough to pay off all my debts.

And you… you and I can start fresh. Huh?

Oh, Yong-sik. "One more"?

Yeah.

A fresh start, really?

Use your head.

What would we do if one of us gets killed in the game tomorrow?

Honey, I know.

If I were the one to go, you'd do fine without me.

But if anything were to… to happen to you, I don't…

Even if I did make it out,

I'd have nothing to live for anymore.

Why would you say something like that?

We just need to get through this next game together.

Hey, sir!

Sir! Jung-bae!

Oh, God. Give me a break.

Sir, just come sit with us already.

-No, really, I'm fine right here. -Enough, get up.

-Hey! Come on, it's okay. Get up. -No, I don't… I'm fine.

-Wait. Hold on, wait- -You should've sat further away.

What the heck are you doing by yourself, trying to look all sad?

I'm sorry.

Jun-hee, Young-il, I'm sorry.

Gi-hun, I mean it.

Okay, look, I borrowed some money for a little emergency,

and these guys are going after my ex-wife and kid now.

The thing is, I really think I can pay all of it off

if I just play through this next one,

-then I'll be-- -Really, Jung-bae?

Of all the people here, I never would've expected you.

What ever happened to "twice as righteous"?

Anyway, to be honest, even if you had voted to leave with us,

it wouldn't have made a difference in the end.

That's true. You can't say I'm the only person whose fault this is.

To be honest with you, sir,

I, um, get why you did it.

The cash in there still isn't quite enough for me,

so I did consider trying to play one more just like you did.

-Uh… -Really? You did?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Okay!

Thanks for not kicking me out.

Here's the thing,

I also pressed "O" 'cause I have faith in us.

I mean, we all worked so well together, huh?

If we keep working as a team,

then I'm sure we'll get through this next one too.

Jun-hee, during the next game, I'll personally make sure you don't get--

"Next game"?

What if, in the next game,

we have to kill each other to win? What then?

Oh, come on, Gi-hun. Don't be so pessimistic.

With the way things are going,

I think we should all try to stay positive. Yeah?

So let's eat our food, pull ourselves together,

and do our best in the next game.

Here, Jun-hee. Have this one too. Keep your strength up, okay?

-Oh, it's yours, I don't-- -Just take it.

I don't want it. I can't drink milk, anyway.

-That's very kind of you. -Here, have my bread too.

I don't think I really deserve it.

Is that milk on the table too?

It's not like I'm the only one who pressed it.

Come on. Look, look, she's got one too. See? I wasn't the only one who voted to--

Hyun-ju, why'd you do it, huh?

I thought we had all agreed to meet up for dinner

after we got out of this place.

So what made you do it? Huh?

You don't look like you have gambling debts

like that little brat there.

Your surgeries, is it because of those? Are… are they really that expensive?

If you don't feel comfortable telling me, that's okay too.

I shouldn't talk. I can't keep my own son in line.

So what am I doing telling a grown woman how to live her life?

Everything…

Everything was fine before I told everyone who I really was.

Sure, some people thought I was a bit strange,

but I never had too many issues.

But then…

as soon as I said I was living as a woman now,

and started my transition,

everything was different.

Mom was always crying.

My dad cut off all contact.

I was let go from my job.

My friends stopped calling.

And I still needed treatment and surgeries.

But now I was out of work. My debt started to grow.

I finally felt like myself,

but life got…

life got a whole lot harder.

Oh, sweetheart.

Um, what was the job?

Before they let you go.

I was a soldier.

Ah…

So what now?

Once you get what you need and get out of here,

do you know what you want to do?

I do. I want to go to Thailand.

Thailand?

Yeah, I… I'll play one more, and then if I get my share…

I'll go there and finish my transition.

Buy a nice small house,

and start my whole life over.

Oh, Thailand. You know, I've actually been?

And there are lots of other folks like Hyun-ju there. I mean, tons!

Seriously, the people I'm talking about, they're on a whole nother level.

Gorgeous bodies, like, super-hot.

And they're everywhere you look. Aren't they?

Yeah. I've heard.

Apparently, it attracts some really beautiful people.

Oh.

Unnie, you're beautiful.

I'm not sure I'd call you "beautiful," you know?

Still, to my old eyes…

…you're not half-bad. Not at all.

That's not what you said the other day, Mom.

Shut up!

Idiot!

You all right?

Nice patch, you fuckin' traitor.

Think you can just piss, after the shit you pulled?

Hey, you weren't done.

You should finish, or you'll get an infection, hmm?

You seriously tried to get out of here?

What were you gonna do with 70 million?

That's not even enough to cover the money that you owe me.

And I need that. Plus,

now I want compensation for the emotional damage you did.

We've been through this already.

The coin went up in value just like I said it would.

You only have yourself to blame if you didn't sell.

And I have the freedom to choose if I stay or go.

This little fucker's really pissing me off.

Yo, should I just rip that shit-eating grin off his face?

For you? Freedom?

-No, you don't get that. -This fucking guy.

Here's what's gonna happen till I get what I need.

You're my slave.

You're not going anywhere. You're stuck in these games.

And, who knows…

you could take home the whole 45 billion.

♪ I get my money back, you're free to go ♪

♪ And you get your life again, yo ♪

♪ Whoa ♪

In order for me to win all the prize money, you'd have to die.

And why would I bother paying back a corpse?

How do you memorize raps if you're so dense?

Oh, that's right, you don't.

On the finale of that show, you forgot your lyrics.

You little piece of shit! You got a death wish, motherfucker?

I didn't eat. Why do I have to poop?

I'm watching you.

Those guys still giving you trouble?

If they keep bothering you, you can come hang with us.

It's okay, I'm fine.

Attention. Lights-out is in ten minutes.

-All players… -Give me that.

…please take this time to return to your beds for the night.

Under here.

Hey, do we really need to do all this? I'm not a fan of sleeping on the ground.

Once the lights go out, someone could try to attack us while we're asleep.

What? That's allowed?

Killing each other also adds to the piggy bank.

It's part of how the whole game was designed.

Gi-hun, I know you're on edge, but isn't that a stretch?

I have trouble believing anyone here would do that.

In the games that I played,

I saw dozens of people murder each other in the middle of the night.

Right where we're standing.

You have no idea.

You don't understand this place.

The kind of monsters that it can create.

Yeah, of course.

I wasn't thinking.

You know better than anyone. I'm sorry.

Once the lights are off, we need to take turns keeping watch.

I'll take the first shift. You four choose the rest of the order.

Where are you going?

Mmm. To the bathroom.

Oh, Jesus, Mom. You never make through the night.

Want me to go with you?

Come on, don't be silly. Of course not.

Why would you drag yourself to the ladies' room this late?

You sure you're okay alone?

It's just a little scary in here at night with all these strangers.

Look.

Mom, what--

-See this? -Yeah?

This is the binyeo your grandmother passed down to me years ago.

I wanted a little insurance, so I snuck it in for emergencies.

If anyone here tries to mess with me, I'll…

Wow, look at this thing.

Of course this is what you'd bring.

Jang Geum-ja the survivor.

Way to go, Ma.

Hey, Mr. Seong.

I have to use the restroom.

Not by yourself. It's not safe.

Hey, we can go together.

Sir, we have to use the bathroom.

I can't allow that. Access is not permitted at this time.

Please sir, I really need to go. I don't feel very good right now.

Like I said, access is not permitted at this time.

Excuse me, um…

Hi, Mr. Triangle. I know you're, um, wearing that strange mask,

but underneath it, you're a real person, aren't you?

Somewhere out in the world,

I'm sure you've got a sister just like this young lady here,

or a mother like me. Isn't that right?

Uh, well, see the thing is,

when a lady tells you she really needs to go,

um, that means she has reasons she can't discuss.

And if you ignored her then, well, that'd be…

That'd be just awful, really inhumane.

You couldn't do something like that.

Oh.

Okay.

When I was 60 years old, I started having bladder-control issues.

I can't go anywhere without wearing a diaper.

And it's not like I could bring them with me when I came here.

Are you really just going to let an old woman soil herself in front of you?

Hey, so, um, look, young man.

Imagine if I was your mother.

Oh, boy, you wouldn't treat me like this.

The only reason I'm here is to help my son with his debts.

Is it too much to ask to pee when I need to?

What did I do in my past life to deserve this? Is…

Oh.Thank you, sir.

Could I come too?

Um, it's okay. Yes.

She's a woman, yeah. Her name is Hyun-ju. Hyun-ju.

It's okay.Let's go.

Come on, here, hurry up.

Oh, thank you, Mr. Triangle man.

Watch the stairs. Here, hold my arm.

I can handle it.

How did you end up here in your condition?

What about your parents? They have to be worried sick.

What parents?

My parents are gone.

Look, uh, if you need anything at all, just give me a shout, all right?

It's okay. I'm fine.

Hey. What's going on? Is she sick?

She's pregnant, actually.

And I think we're getting very close to the due date.

Oh.

All right, Gi-hun, I'm up.

Go get some shut-eye. I'll take over.

It's fine. I'm not tired yet.

You should get some more rest for tomorrow.

I'm really sorry, Gi-hun.

Let's not get back into that.

It's not your fault we're still here.

That's not what I meant.

That night you came by the bar,

you asked for some money and I didn't give you anything.

If I'd found a way to help you out that night,

there's a chance your mom wouldn't have died like that.

I just didn't have any extra cash back then.

Yeah, I know.

But I was never mad at you for that.

Is that the reason you came here in the first place,

to pay for her treatment?

Then why come back now and risk your life all over again?

Hmm? If I had been you, I would've forgotten about all this crap

and started a new life with the winnings.

Listen…

Say I died right in front of you.

And you…

you got out with all that money.

Could you let that go?

Hey, come on, don't think like that. We'll get out of here together.

That's the reason I went through this again.

To make sure everyone got out.

To put an end to this game.

But…

now, after all this…

I don't know what I can do to make a difference in here.

Then I ruined your whole plan when I voted to stay.

What the hell was I thinking?

Will you stop whining? It's not like that.

Hey, do you remember that time when we went on strike?

We were occupying the factory

when the company tried to make a deal to get us out.

The owners said that if everyone came out,

they'd let us off the hook and give us extra severance pay.

Of course, how could I forget that?

Well, one night, when I was on watch, I almost took the deal.

But you know why I didn't do it?

You were lying there next to me, asleep.

And suddenly you started talking.

"I'm so hungry, Mom. Give me some food."

"Please, Mom, help. I'm starving."

You kept going, just bawling your eyes out in your sleep.

-I started crying in my sleep? -Mmm-hmm.

-Begging my mom for food? -Mmm-hmm.

-That's the reason you didn't walk out? -Mmm-hmm.

Yeah, and as I sat there, just watching you, I thought,

"Wow, now this is really sad. I can't leave this guy alone."

"If I go now, and he wakes up soon,

he'll start crying so much I doubt he could take a piss alone."

And as soon as I realized that, I told myself I wouldn't leave you.

Yeah, right, asshole. You're full of shit.

Swear on your mother's grave.

Why is it on my mother? Don't go bringing her into this.

Your mom, my mom, it's still true.

And I ended up getting fired 'cause I wouldn't leave you.

-That's why I'm in this situation. -Bullshit.

Anything goes wrong, you just stick it on me, don't you?

You lose money on a horse race, your chicken shop goes under,

it's all my fault. And don't forget your marriage.

Oh, no, the marriage had nothing to do with you.

The divorce was your fault.

Oh, come on, dude! If anything, my wife left 'cause of you.

Every night, asking me to get drunk with you.

-And you took me to the horse races first. -Quiet, man. Shh!

Enough, all right. Keep it down.

-You were really going for it. -You…

Ah, fuck, dude. I'm finally talking to Seong Gi-hun again.

You fucking prick.

I thought he was gone. You seemed so different.

Hey, Gi-hun.

Once game three's over, let's get out of here.

No more of this shit. Sound good?

We'll knock back soju like the old days.

As long as you're buying.

You know it's amazing how nobody ever really changes, huh?

Seong Gi-hun, the cheapskate of Ssangmun-dong.

Cheapest of cheapskates.

Lord of all Cheapskates.

"The cheapskate of Ssangmun-dong."

Talk about a throwback.

Is she still in there?

Yeah.

Hello, Miss? Are you all right?

Do you need anything?

Is something wrong?

Oh, sweetheart. What's the matter?

Does something hurt? Huh?

Oh. Is it your belly? Are you cramping?

Oh, goodness, that baby must be coming.

Okay, you just tell me where the pain is. Is it your belly? Huh?

I'm scared.

It's all right.

It's all right.

Everything's okay.

Hey, it's okay.

Everything's okay.

Hey, you're gonna be fine. You and your baby.

Don't worry.

Hey, Team 2, you gotta be careful!

If you see anything suspicious, you call us right away.

Captain Park, be safe out there.

Team 2's heading north. We'll see what they find up there.

We'll start our search over in the southwest.

Okay.

We've got at most four days to find this place.

Don't worry, Detective.

Captain Ko over there, he's a Moojin native,

knows this region better than anyone.

And we've got enough gas and food on this boat

to last us a week at the very least.

-Let's get out there. -Thanks, Captain.

Hope you packed some soju too.

At night, I'll catch fish

and you can slice them up for us, make some sashimi.

Hey, sport, right now this ain't a fishing vessel.

Until we find that island, we're all gonna be on high alert, got it?

Once the sun sets, it'll be too dark to continue.

What else are we supposed to do out there?

How 'bout you, Captain? You gonna do a song and dance for us?

Okay, let's set sail!

First team to find the island gets a bonus when we're back!

Good luck!

Your attention, please. The third game will begin momentarily.

All players, please wake up and prepare to move to the game hall.

-Already? -I will now repeat the instructions.

Your attention, please. The third game will begin momentarily.

All players, please wake up and prepare to move to the game hall.

Hey, bro. Let me get another one of those.

Don't even go there.

Once you put that crap in you, that's all you want.

If you ever get out of here, don't get involved with those assholes,

they'll only hurt you.

But you stuck with them. Why? I don't get it.

Because they're stupid and easy enough to control.

What about me? Why'd you ask me to join you?

You?

Because I thought I could trust you.

Huh?

Anyway, once that's 200 million, I'm getting the hell out.

Don't know how much you owe, but I'd start thinking.

You won't last in a place like this.

Attention, all soldiers. Please proceed to your assigned stations.

-Wow. -Yeah!

Young-mi.

I'm sorry.

It's all right, Hyun-ju.

As long as we work together,

I'm sure we can win this one, get out, and have that dinner.

Players, welcome to the third game.

We will begin momentarily.

The game you will be playing today is Mingle.

I will now repeat the announcement.

The game you will be playing today is Mingle.

Everybody, mingle!

This one's gonna be fun. Right, guys?

Mingle, mingle, mingle!

I will now explain the rules of the game.

All players will step onto the platform in the center of the arena.

Once the game begins, the platform will spin.

Shortly after, a number will be called out.

You must then form a group that matches this number,

enter one of the surrounding rooms, and close the door within 30 seconds,

or be eliminated.

Oh, this one? It's like what we played on field trips where they called a number

and we formed groups by hugging.

Yeah. Instead of hugging, we go behind one of those doors.

Okay, I know this one.

Uh, what do we need to do? Is there a strategy? What's the plan?

If the number is four, we can all stay grouped together.

And if the number's two, then I can stick with you.

If they call out a number higher than five,

we grab all the people we need as soon as we can.

Uh, but what if the number is less than that?

If it's groups of three, then what?

In that case, we'll figure it out as we go.

The really crucial thing for us to do is to stay calm and don't panic.

Trust each other.

And we'll all get out of here in once piece. Deal?

One, two, three.

-We got this! -Victory!

With that, let the game begin.

I'll be okay. You guys go. Hurry.

Hey, dude, can you see what happened to Gyeong-su?

Listen up you shithead.

Don't call me "dude." We're not friends, got it?

Or next time you'll get the axe.

Hold on, wait!

Where'd you leave Gyeong-su?

Where the hell is he?

Holy shit!

Gyeong-su!

It's okay. I don't think they noticed.

Room 33, eliminated.

What? What…

No… Hold on, wait. Wait!

Hey, Min-su!

Come on, my boy. Come on.

-Mr. Young-il! -Young-il?

Gi-hun!

Young-il!

Oh, thank God! There you are.

-Whoa. -I knew you'd make it, man.

It's good to see you.

This guy was something special.

I was worried for a second. Glad you made it.

People say I'm pretty friendly, so, you know,

I do all right in these kind of games.

-Oh. How are you feeling, Jun-hee? -I'm all right, thank you.

We're all really glad to see you.

Hold on, I just realized.

If we have to form groups of six next round,

then we won't need anyone else.

Why?

Oh, 'cause the baby?

Ah! That's a good point.

You're right. But wait, what if it's twins?

Then we'd be seven.

I would've died if it weren't for you gentlemen.

Do you know where your son went?

Sorry?

Wasn't he with you?

Ah!

Oh, right. We got a little separated at the start.

It's stupid, it really is.

We needed one more person, so I waited while he looked around.

And I guess I got a little mixed up, you know?

He didn't come get you?

How dare you, sir. He wouldn't leave me, not my son.

He didn't grow up with a lot, but I know deep down he's a good person.

Even though he got bullied and knocked around,

he never laid a hand on anyone or beat other kids up, not once,

so don't you badmouth my son!

Forgive me. I didn't know what I was talking about.

Hey, welcome back, my friends.

Skrrt!

Miss Geum-Ja!

Oh! Thank goodness. I'm so glad you're both all right.

-Look at you. You're not hurt, are you? -No.

Uh, this man saved us.

We didn't think we were gonna find anyone.

And then, Player 246 rescued the two of us.

Like a knight in shining armor!

Look at you! As handsome as a knight too.

Thank you so much.

Don't thank me.

These two, they're actually the ones who saved me.

Where's Yong-sik?

It's okay. I'm alive. I made it.

Are you all right? Are you hurt?

Mom…

I'm sorry.

I really didn't…

-I'm so sorry. How could I leave you… -Honey. No, it's okay.

Are you kidding me?

If I hadn't come in, you would all have died.

It's your fault! I still had time, I could've saved her!

That's not true. The door was gonna lock!

The second you went out they would've shot you like they shot her!

Then we'd be down one

and the rest of your team would've died too!

I saved your lives, don't you understand that?!

All of you, tell your friend it's true!

Just admit she was gonna die!

It's true.

You wouldn't make it back in here.

Yeah. There wasn't enough time.

Thanks, Jun-hee.

Let's not get confused.

All I did was say you were right.

Attention, players. The final round will now begin.

♪ Round and round… ♪

What number do you think we're gonna get next?

Two.

Wait, why?

We're at 126 people, and there are 50 rooms.

Even if there's two in every room,

then there's still only enough for 100 of us.

If you don't find one fast, you're done for.

Two players.

-Gi-hun. -Ready?

Come on, Gi-hun.

Let's go!

Close it!

Hey! No!

Get in! Get in!

Out.

But we were here before you guys.

Open the fucking door!

I was here first!

Nine, eight,

seven, six,

five, four,

three, two…

…one.

The final round is now over.

Once we all get back, somebody should go around and do a head count.

Why?

If we figure out what the X and O split is,

then we'll know which of the two sides is gonna have a better shot at the next vote.

Guess we have to hope more "O"s died than we did.

By the way, what was this contraption called, again?

It's a drone. A drone.

"Drome"? Ain't that something!

When we used to go out,

you always had to keep checking your binoculars

and climb all those cliffs just to get a look at an island.

This makes our lives so much easier.

Get us even lower. They know we're looking for them.

-They might've upped their camouflage. -Got it.

But still, if you couldn't find this place after two years of looking,

what makes you think you could do it now?

If we eliminate everywhere I've already been,

then we can narrow down the search.

We'll find it, as long as the weather cooperates.

That's right. We have Captain Ko's boat now too.

And this "drome" thing.

Captain, it's a drone, okay? Not a drome.

Who gives a shit.

My little boy, Min-su!

I'm so happy to see you again, bro.

Yo, Min-su, I was worried about you, dude.

I thought I was running with you.

But when I turned around, it was this asshole.

It's like I told you, man. He won't go down easy.

And you saw him, right?

Se-mi was like this, and I thought he froze up.

And then scissors outta nowhere.

That's when I went, "Whoa, this boy's crazy."

Yo! Ooh, I fucking got chills, Min-su.

Let's play one more game, okay?

One more, right, bro?

All right, make it quick. What do you want?

Jun-hee,

once we get out, I'd like to start over.

"Start over"?

How do we do that?

Trust me one last time, okay?

And we'll have our child, and start a whole new life.

I did a rough estimate, and based on that,

I think each person will make 300 to 400 million.

That's gotta convince a lot of people.

I think we could win the next vote.

And if we do,

what happens?

So we'd have a lot if we put our shares together.

I could use that to pay off a few debts first,

then I'll find something new to invest the rest in.

No more crypto, no more coins.

Listen, there's this whole crew of stockbrokers that I know.

Their thing is trading futures and Inverse ETFs.

Their returns broke 100% just last month.

So you don't need me or our child.

All you need is the cash.

No, Jun-hee, it's not like that.

I just want us to have enough so the three of us can live a more--

"Enough"?

And exactly how much is that?

Huh?

Pay off your debts with your own damn money.

'Cause I'm gonna use mine to raise our child.

Jun-hee.

♪ Min-su, Nam-su Gyeong-su,Thano-su! ♪

Yo. Yo. Yo. Check them out.

Look at me, I'm serious. All I wanna do is make a good life…

-What's their deal? -I guess they're a thing.

He snagged a girl in here?

Smooth little shit.

You shouldn't wallow in heartbreak.

There's no point.

You're going to see her again, sooner than you might think.

You and your friends have all been cursed.

Today I sat and pleaded, asking the gods of heaven and earth

to help put an end to your existences.

And to let me watch as each of you perish in this hellhole.

This is where it ends for you. There's no escaping now.

You're going to die miserable, excruciating deaths.

One by one, in front of each other's eyes.

What…

She's no shaman.

Well, that lady, she's just totally insane.

Oh, God.

Come on, you too.

Hey, Gi-hun. There are still 55 "O"s here.

-Are you sure? -Yeah, I counted twice.

What about you? Did you count yourself?

Then there are 56.

Ah, shit.

56 minus 44… That's 12 more.

It's gonna be hard for us to win another vote.

That might sound like a lot,

but if just six of them change their minds,

it'll be 50/50.

And if somehow we can get seven, we might even win.

Yeah, but a few of the "X"s could also change their minds and vote "O" now.

If they pressed "X" last time,

I'm willing to bet they won't change sides.

Why's that?

When they voted to go home, they were fine with less money.

Now their share of the prize money's even higher.

It wouldn't make sense for them to put their lives at risk

by playing another game.

I'm definitely pressing X this time.

If five other people do the same, then we have a tied vote.

And if it's six, we win.

Then we should try talking to the "O"s over on their side,

see if we can change their minds.

No, it's too dangerous.

Most of those guys want to keep going till the last game, no matter the cost.

If we try something, they're not gonna sit back and let it happen.

What do you suggest we do then?

Just keep our mouths shut and pray everyone over there changes their vote?

And if we lose, what happens?

Then what the hell do we do? Do we all hold hands and keep playing?

Look, I know how you feel.

I wanna get out of here just like you,

but what we need to do now is just breathe and focus.

Breathe and focus?

We've gone through this two times and we're still here.

If we can't change their minds,

then we need to drag them over to our side and finally finish this!

If we try forcing them now,

it could spark a confrontation and things might get violent.

Do you really want that to happen?

Gi-hun, he's right.

I'm too scared to do any more of this.

And there's gotta be other people here who feel that way.

Okay, here's what I think.

If all we need to win is another five or six people,

then we should just vote like normal.

And I did the math. The total's over 300 million.

With that much, I think we have a pretty good shot at winning the vote.

You have made it through yet another game in the series.

Congratulations to you all.

Now, if I may have your attention,

I will announce the results of the third game.

Wait, hang on. Can you go back over that same area?

Yeah.

Look. Beneath the trees. There's something there.

Yeah, what the… Is it like a hatch? Go a little lower.

I can't. Not with those trees there.

Guess we'll have to go by foot.

Hey, everyone, let's move out!

356 million.

Okay, that's good.

That'll make some people change their minds, I'm sure.

Six more, and we'll have a tie.

With seven we win, right?

We will once again conduct the vote

in reverse order from highest to lowest.

Player 456, please cast your vote.

To ensure this process remains fair and democratic,

starting now, disruptive acts of any kind are strictly prohibited.

We appreciate your cooperation.

Player 388.

Now all that we need are six more.

Player 380.

Now just five more.

-Player 377. -Ah, fucking bitch.

Number 011.

You really should've started playing ball with us sooner, you know?

Wouldn't have had to scratch up that pretty face of yours.

Keep up the good work, huh?

Player 230.

Mwah!

"O" Gang for the win! Let's go!

We just need four more. If we get four more, then we win.

Player 149.

If you pull that stupid shit this time around,

I swear to god I'm gonna hang myself right here.

Yeah, I got it.

Player 145.

Min-su. Just one more game.

Yo, he and I had a little chat earlier.

One more game, right, dude? A billion, and then we leave.

Player 125.

You got this, Min-su. Ready? Let's go, let's go, let's go.

Holy shit!

-We need three more, that's all. -Just three.

Player 124.

Player 120.

That's it. Two more. Two more!

-Player 119. -Here we go. Two more.

Just two more people to go.

Looks like it leads to somewhere underground.

Check it.

Player 015.

He switched, he changed his vote. He pressed "X." Oh!

That's the sixth person. That means we're tied.

-Okay, okay. -Just one more and we win.

Are we… are we really going home?

Player 009.

It's okay. She just voted the same way.

Player 007.

Ma'am, are you sure? Your son's really gonna vote to go?

I'm telling you, I know my son.

My Yong-sik's a good person, and he'll do the right thing.

He did it! He changed his vote!

We're done! It's over!

Let's get outta here!

That's right, Yong-sik! That's my son!

-Player 006. -That was it. He was the seventh one.

We're good now. They're both on our side.

We did it!

Hey, Gi-hun.

Huh?

I'm worried about Young-il.

Why?

During the game, we were paired together.

That was great. Nice work, you made the right choice!

We got this!

And finally, Player 001.

Please cast your vote.

All right, Young-il.

You got this.

Hey, guys. I guess it's a 50/50 split. A tie's better than nothing, right?

Right.

I don't know, but Young-il… He scares me a little.

Why?

It… it's just that he…

I'm not sure how to bring this up,

but during the game, when we were in our room together…

I saw him mur--

We did it. We're good. It's a tie, we're okay!

The final player has made their choice, and the vote is now over.

All right, fine, we wound up with a tie.

So what the hell happens now?

Clause three of the consent form:

Should the initial vote result in a tie, the players will vote again.

Hold on. When's the next vote? How long do we have to wait?

To ensure you have enough time to properly consider your options,

the second vote will be conducted tomorrow.

Until then, please take this opportunity to think carefully about your future.

Listen, boys, don't you think we should return to land?

Isn't this game gonna be over

if we don't find that island in a few days?

Yeah, but hold on. Just look at him. He needs a doctor.

How're you doing? You can push through it, right?

Yes, sir. Can't complain.

The bleeding stopped,

and I stitched him up, so he should be good.

Okay, but even so, one of your men just died.

Let's keep searching.

He's never gonna rest in peace until we kill the bastards who did this.

But just think.

If these traps were set up for us already,

then they know where we are and where we're going.

We use a new radio frequency every day from now on.

Cell phone use is completely banned.

Is that clear?

-Got it. -Yes, sir.

Can you radio the other boat?

What were you trying to tell me about before?

Hmm?

You know, about Young-il.

During the game earlier.

-Here, you want some of mine too? -Thanks. I'm okay.

Not bad, right? They're decent, for once.

Nothing. It's not him, it's just…

It's all of this.

We gotta get out as soon as we can.

If I stay any longer, I'll start losing it too.

You know, Young-il,

I gotta be honest with you.

I thought for a second there, you'd vote like the first time.

Ah, I got so anxious when you went up, I couldn't watch anymore.

'Cause earlier, Jung-bae kept trying to tell us this weird story--

Hey, come on, eat your food.

Aren't you hungry?

Young-il, thank you, man. You gave us all another chance.

I just wanted to save my own ass, don't thank me.

And anyway, there's enough money in there now.

So I should get out.

While I can.

But when we vote tomorrow,

do we really think we'll win?

I mean, there's no other choice.

Like Gi-hun was saying earlier,

we should try to convince them.

See if we can get a few of them to change sides,

before they call the next vote.

Do you think we can? Look at them over there.

You know they've gone completely crazy with greed.

Here's how I see it. We have the advantage.

We've only had these gimbap rolls to eat today.

Everyone will be hungry when they wake up tomorrow.

And when you're hungry, it makes you feel homesick.

That means everyone will want to leave.

Hey, guys!

Are you really gonna sit over there eating this dry gimbap?

I just need one person to walk over here

so that tomorrow morning we can get the heck out of here

and all go out for Hanwoo beef.

And what the hell, I'll cover everyone's meals!

And we'll order naengmyeon too. Dessert's on me.

Come on, just one of you guys!

We won't bite!

Once you bastards all kick the bucket in the next game,

we can leave this place with 800 million each.

With that kind of money,

I'll just head to a Hanwoo ranch and offer to buy it!

Over here!

-That's right! Come on, guys! -Come with us.

800? Bullshit. You're lying to yourselves.

You guys really believe you'll survive the next one?

If we don't stop now, then everyone over there's gonna die!

Okay, so let's stay and test that theory out.

See which side loses more.

Instead of just running away like some fucking wussie.

What'd you say? Huh? What'd you call me?

-Hey, wait. -Hey, dipshit, say that again.

-Come on. -I'll fuck you up.

-Don't threaten civilians. -Go on.

Look, dumbass, I was a fuckin' Marine!

Oh, yeah? Okay, well, if you're a Marine,

then I'm fucking Special Forces, you lying shit.

You really wanna go there?

If you wanna leave so bad, why stuff your faces with gimbap, huh?

-It'll be quicker if you starve! -Greedy motherfuckers.

Oh, yeah?

Thought you guys were soldiers.

Min-su.

I know you're mad at me, dude.

I'm sorry, boy!

You still shouldn't have betrayed us.

That shit really hurt my fuckin' feelings.

-Open the door! -Hey, Min-su.

You said you got scammed out of your place, right?

-You got nowhere to go out there, bro. -Min-su, open the door!

So come on, dude. Just one more game.

And I promise you, man, we're gonna keep you safe. Hmm?

When we vote tomorrow, you're gonna press "O," Min-su. Yo, come on!

Whoa, boy. Sit the fuck down.

Look, Min-su.

Before I got here, things were so rough, I was gonna jump off the Han River Bridge.

Actually, I was there

when this man wearing a suit gave me a business card.

You must have got one too.

Yeah.

Now, I'm not religious or anything, but…

How should I put this?

It felt like divine intervention.

Like the universe was giving me a second chance, man.

That's when I decided I was gonna turn my whole life around,

make my mom proud.

The thing is, when someone gets in the way of that,

I don't mean to, but I lose my shit!

I'm so fucking angry, man!

Leave him alone.

Hey. The fuck you doing? Get lost.

You want him to switch.

Yo, Myung-gi, who do you think you are, huh?

The National Election Commission?

MG Coin.

You're still on my shitlist.

So why don't you just take a piss and get the fuck out of here?

"X"s, over here!

These two were just threatening one of us a second ago!

They're pressuring someone to change sides so they'll win the vote.

Is that true?

Hey. What the fuck, man? That's cheating.

Whoa, hey. You immature little dipshits, who taught you that kinda shit was okay?

Hey! Hey! Listen up, "O" Gang!

These "X"s over here tried to fucking attack us!

"O"s, come on!

What's that all about? Why you trying to start shit?

Quiet, the adults are talking.

You "X"s are all wimpy-ass little shits.

Piss your pants and fuck off.

We went already, you dumbass.

Min-su, wait.

MG Coin.

You tripping, dude?

Earth to Myung-gi. Hello?

It's 'cause of that girl, dude.

Remember earlier today, that bitch we saw talking to him?

You know, the one we thought he was kind of with?

Ah.

You sly dog. You were trying to get some action, weren't you?

You know, I started watching her a little bit more after that.

And I noticed she was walking kinda funny. Her belly was--

Listen, you fucking assholes, you leave her alone!

What's up? We must have really hit a nerve.

Oh, for sure, dude.

-MG Coin… -Something's going on.

if you press "X" one more time, I swear to fucking God,

I'll cut off one of your sticky little fingers,

give it to that bitch of yours…

…and then make her my bitch.

She will love it.

You fucking asshole!

It's all mine!

Your money! Your girl! Your fucking life!

It's all Thanos's property now!

You fucking son of a goddamn motherfucking bitch!

Subtitle translation by: Yoonjung Song

Get off me, motherfucker. Get the fuck off of me.

Son of a bitch! You fucking cocksucker! I'll kill you!

Motherfucker!

Fucking shithead!

-Stay the fuck down! -You asshole!

Die, piece of shit!

Yeah, fuck you.

SQUID GAME 2

EPISODE 7 FRIEND OR FOE

The following players have been eliminated:

Player 230, Player 268,

Player 299, Player 331, Player 401.

End of the list.

What's going on?

Yo! Yo, "O" Gang!

Hey! Listen!

In the bathroom, all of a sudden

the "X"s started attacking us outta nowhere!

We were just standing there. Those assholes went after us!

They killed my friend, and a bunch of people on our side too.

-They're dead. -That's bullshit.

-You guys are the ones who started it. -Yeah.

Fuck you.

These bastards started threatening people on our side!

They started the fight so they could win tomorrow's vote!

-That's right! -Hey. Hey!

You guys started killing us first.

You wanted us to die.

That's how you planned to win the vote, wasn't it?

Oh, fuck you. We lost people too, okay?

Were we just supposed to sit and watch as you bastards killed us off?

Hold on!

What were the losses on each side?

I don't… It was…

Maybe we… Wait.

Okay. Everyone!

Let's go around a do a full headcount.

-Okay? -Yeah! Let's go!

-Get down here so we can count you! -Come on.

Everyone! All the "X"s, come down! Group up so we can get a count.

Everyone come sit. This way!

-Hurry! -Sit in this corner!

-Captain? -Huh?

Hey. What the hell are you doing in here so late?

Oh, uh… I, uh…

That's my drone, isn't it?

Huh? Oh, uh… This?

I wasn't getting any sleep so I came here to find something,

and that's when I saw this.

Were you messing with it a second ago?

Oh, no, no. I just wanted to have a quick look.

It's just amazing how this little thing can fly around like that, you know?

Here, look, um…

There. I'm done now.

-Hold on. -Fascinating stuff.

Oh, wow, you've really been drinking, huh?

Come on, get some rest.

Hey, get back here!

Why are you pretending--

Motherfucker!

Who's there?

Ah. Woo-seok!

It's just Captain Park!

Oh, Captain. What the hell are you still doing awake?

And why are out here in the rain?

I couldn't sleep with the weather like this.

But I thought I heard a noise a second ago.

Really? So did I.

Like someone shouting and some kinda crashing sound.

Yeah, so that's why I came out to check.

I was looking around,

and I'm pretty sure that noise was a big wave hitting the deck.

See? It's a total mess.

Oh. Yeah.

Head back in.

With swells like this you could get washed off the side.

Yeah, it's just hard to sleep

when you have the whole ship moving all around you.

Go get some rest, kid.

Tomorrow's an early day, isn't it?

It'll be rough otherwise.

41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46 with me,

and 47.

We lost three on our side.

-Are you sure? -I triple-checked the count.

What about them?

42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48.

Our side lost two guys.

The voice said there were five eliminations.

So their side must've lost three.

Okay, then, tomorrow we'll have the advantage.

Holy crap! She's right, it's 48 to 47.

As long as nobody else swaps, we're gonna win tomorrow by one vote!

Yes!

-Oh, God. We won. -We'll finally get out.

-We're gonna make it. -Yeah.

One more day--

Attention, all players.

Lights-out will be in approximately 30 minutes.

With the remaining half hour, please disperse,

and prepare to return to your beds for the night.

Nobody change your minds, okay?

Tomorrow morning, we'll vote and get the hell out of here. Sound good?

Don't worry, I'm sick of it here. I'm "X" all the way.

Everyone, this is it, the nightmare's almost over.

Let's all go to bed. Get some rest.

The delivery team just left.

And how are the goods?

All top quality this time.

And 011?

I got that bitch under control. She won't bother us anymore.

I want you to keep an eye on her.

Yes, sir.

Get ready.

Attention. The special game will begin momentarily.

All management staff,

soldiers, and workers…

…please make your way to your designated locations.

I will now repeat the instructions.

Attention. The special game will begin momentarily.

All management staff, soldiers, and workers,

please make your way to your designated locations.

Attention. Lights-out is in 20 minutes.

All players, please take this time to return to your beds for the night.

The "O"s look pretty suspicious over there.

Bet they're sitting around plotting against us.

Who the fuck cares what those stupid bastards do.

They're outnumbered. No one else is gonna change sides. It's over.

But are we gonna be safe?

The guys in the bathroom said things got real ugly earlier.

Once the lights go out,

the ones who wanna stay are gonna try come for us.

They will?

Killing us would mean they win the next vote

and add more to each one of their shares.

So, what do we do now?

We have to attack first.

It's our only chance.

Those guys assume we're just waiting it out till the next vote.

When the lights go down,

we should hit them first since they won't expect it.

He's right. We can't just let them attack.

Our side's the one with a lot of women and old folks.

If we wait for them, we're gonna lose.

I say we ambush them first. That's the only way to win.

-I'm good with that plan. -No, we can't do that.

But we need to get out.

It's like you were saying, Gi-hun,

there isn't any point in just sitting around.

That doesn't mean we should all just join in on this useless bloodbath.

We'd be playing right into their hands if we did.

Who's "they"?

The ones who built this whole place.

The ones who created the games and who watch us play.

If we're gonna try and fight anyone, we should be going after them instead.

Sure, but where are they?

They're up there.

At the top of the staircases.

They keep everything here running from up in their central control room.

There's a man in a black mask who's the head of the operation.

If we can get to him, we finally can end this.

How are you gonna fight them?

After all, they've got guns.

Attention, armed soldiers.

Please proceed to your designated locations.

All staff, the special game will begin momentarily.

We'll need our own guns to fight back.

But we don't have any guns.

We'll just take theirs.

So, take them from the guards?

It's too risky.

Even if we manage to get a few guns

they'll outnumber us when we try to get out.

What are you suggesting?

We fight the other group through the whole entire night,

and hope against hope that we all make it?

Is that it, Young-il? Do you really think that's a good plan?

Do we…

stand a chance?

If we can manage an ambush, yes.

Those bastards up there, they'll never expect our side to attack.

They'll be focused on other things.

This is it.

This is our last chance to put an end to these games

and make sure they never happen again.

So how are we supposed to get their guns?

Here's the plan.

We wait for a fight to begin.

That'll give us an opening.

Lights-out is in five minutes.

Oh, Thanos, you fucking idiot.

You were a piece of shit, dude, you know that?

Couldn't get my name right.

Myung-gi.

Hide somewhere when the lights go out.

And whatever happens, don't get involved.

Okay.

You should wipe off that blood.

Lights-out is in ten seconds.

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five,

four, three, two, one.

Once the lights are off,

we have to get under our beds as quietly as we can.

We can't afford to get caught by the other side.

And we know they'll be out for blood.

Shh, quiet!

Quiet!

Die!

Fuck you!

You're mine asshole!

Where the fuck you going?

We don't make any moves until the fighting's over.

We wait, and we keep still.

We can't afford to get pulled into the fight, do you hear me?

Hold on. If we do that,

then the rest of the "X"s won't have much of a chance.

Without us there to help them fight, they'll be outnumbered.

I know.

But if we don't keep our heads down tonight,

and if some of us get injured, or anyone ends up dead,

it's gonna ruin our entire plan.

If we're missing anyone when it's time to attack,

we'll be setting ourselves up to lose.

So, what you're saying is,

sacrifice a few for the good of the rest.

If we don't go after them now,

we won't get another shot at leaving this place.

And it'll be worth the sacrifice…

if it means we can actually put an end to these games for good.

If that's the plan…

then I'll do whatever you tell me.

The fight isn't gonna last very long.

They'll want to step in before too many players get killed or injured.

After all, they still need us strong enough to play the next game.

Hey, Se-mi.

You fucking cunt, come here.

Fuck you!

You son of a bitch!

Take that, whore.

Hey. Do I look like a fucking joke to you?

Move in.

Get ready.

Move in.

Once the lights come back on, the guards will rush into the room

and start getting the situation under control.

Hands up. Step back.

First, they'll break up whoever's still fighting.

Drop the weapon.

They'll be so busy, they won't pay attention to the dead.

Right after they've finished securing the room…

-Check the eliminations. -…they'll start scanning the bodies.

We wait until it's time to strike.

Dae-ho!

Tell them to retreat and seal the entrance.

Retreat. Retreat.

Hold on! Cease fire!

Everybody, stop!

Put your hands up!

Get on your knees!

-You fucking animals! Motherfucking-- -Hey! Don't do it!

Out of my way!

Don't you see what they did? Just look around.

They're not even human anymore.

You have no right to stop me killing these greedy assholes!

We didn't take these guns so we could use them like this.

If you shoot them,

then we're no better than the monsters who trapped us here.

Everyone!

Don't be afraid, it's all over.

It's safe now, come on down.

It's okay, you can come out now!

We're not gonna shoot you or hurt anybody else!

-Do me a favor. -It's okay, come on.

-Go collect all the guns and ammo. -We just wanna talk, that's all.

Assemble all the troops.

Attention, all soldiers.

Please take your weapons and proceed to the rally point immediately.

I will now repeat the instructions.

Attention, all soldiers.

Please take your weapons and proceed to the rally point immediately.

Okay.

Here's the deal.

We're gonna head up that staircase,

up to where these masked men run this whole place.

And we'll capture the people who captured us.

We're gonna put an end to it all.

They're gonna pay for everything they've put us through.

So please, if any of you know how to use a gun

and wanna help take out these fuckers, step forward right now.

Listen.

I get it. You're scared.

I know, because I'm scared too.

I don't wanna risk my life again.

But I really don't think we're gonna get another chance to leave this place alive.

And if they won't let us go,

I say we fight our way out.

Together.

I'll fight them with you.

Step forward.

-Me too, I'm ready to fight. -Good. Come on.

All right, everyone. Check your guns and ammo.

Take a walkie-talkie so we can keep in touch.

And set your channel to lucky number seven.

Thanks for saving me.

After this is over, buy me a drink.

Everyone, listen up.

This here is an MP5 submachine gun.

First thing, to change magazines, you press the release and slide it out.

It shouldn't take much to come out.

And on the side,

you flip the safety down for sustained fire,

and put it up here for single-fire.

Since we don't have a lot of extra ammo right now,

we should only be using single-fire.

And finally, this slides in up here,

then you're gonna pull this lever all the way down.

That's how you load your gun.

All clear, everyone?

You really know your stuff. Where did you learn all that?

Uh, I was a sergeant in the Special Forces.

Ah.

Mask off.

Come on, that too.

Jesus Christ!

Your mom and dad know what you're doing in here, kid?

Now take us to the guy who calls the shots around here.

Attention, players.

The day has ended. It's time to turn in for the night.

Please make your way back to your quarters immediately.

If you do not comply with these orders, then you will be eliminated.

I will now repeat the instructions.

Attention, players. The day has ended…

Ugh, this fucking voice. It'll be in our dreams when we get out.

Please make your way back to your quarters immediately.

If you do not comply--

Get down!

At your one o'clock! One o'clock!

I'm moving in. Cover me!

Covering fire!

Cease fire!

Holding fire!

I think we're clear.

Is, uh… Is everyone okay?

Good. Well, we'll keep going.

You can't let them get to the management area.

Oh.

How much further is it?

You taking us to the right place, kid?

Management's around that corner.

And if you continue going past that,

that's where the control room is.

Get going.

Wait a minute.

What are you doing?

You need to have a mask to get through security.

I'm gonna go look for the control room entrance.

You sure you can find it? Should I go with you?

Jung-bae and I can go.

Young-il, you stay here and buy us more time.

Jung-bae. You ready?

Wait!

Here!

Don't waste your shots.

If you shoot blindly, you'll be empty soon.

Identity confirmed.

Why'd you take me along instead of Young-il?

I don't know, 'cause you're my best friend?

You only say that when you're in a jam, bro.

We're just entering the management area.

We'll try heading further up.

They have extra ammo in their pockets.

Now which way do we go?

Same route these assholes took.

Go guard the stairs!

We can't do anything sitting here! Let's follow them upstairs!

If we go up without knowing anything, we might get surrounded!

Let's hold this position until they radio us.

So we know they made it there.

Everyone, how we doing on ammo?

I'm down to about half.

-And I'm at less than half. Shit. -I'm half full!

I have about two-thirds.

I'll run out soon.

Oh, shit, I'm out!

Yeah, I'm almost out.

Young-il, Dae-ho. Can you hear me?

Go ahead.

We're almost there but we can't get inside.

They got us pinned down here. Could use some backup and extra ammo.

We're also low on ammo here.

The soldiers have extra ammo in their pockets.

Someone go and get the mags off the guys in our room.

Copy!

You all hear that? Those guys need a hand upstairs!

Three of us will head over there. Everyone else should stay.

And then we'll regroup as soon as we get ammo.

Who's coming with me?

-I'll go with you. -Yeah, let's get up there.

Let's move out!

I'll get the extra rounds in our quarters.

I'll come back as soon as I can. Just hold this spot till then.

Hyun-ju, wait!

I got it! I'll go!

I don't… I don't have any ammo.

Do you know how to get there?

Yeah.

I shot out the cameras on the way here. So just follow them back.

-Okay. -Here. Take this with you.

Just in case. There might be guards on the way.

Thanks, Hyun-ju.

I'll cover you, okay? Now move out!

Covering fire!

Ammo in the pockets. Ammo in the pockets. Ammo in the pockets.

Dae-ho, can you hear me?

Where are those magazines, soldier?

Yes, sir, I'm heading to get them as we speak.

All right, copy. I'm counting on you.

Got it, Jung-bae. I'll bring the ammo. Leave it to me!

Shit!

Jung-bae, cover me a second.

-What for? -We need those magazines.

Uh-uh, don't be stupid.

Look, I'm low on ammo.

As soon as they realize I'm out, they're gonna rush us.

And Dae-ho might take a while. We can't afford to wait.

Gi-hun, hurry!

Now get back, come on!

Okay, ammo, ammo, ammo. Ammo in the pockets, ammo in the pockets.

Ammo in the pockets, ammo in the pockets.

Yes!

What's the boy doing?

Don't know. He just came in.

Dae-ho, what's going on?

Why are you here on your own?

Our ammo ran out.

It's in their pockets. I need you to help me okay? Quickly!

Oh, okay.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine. Just grazed the skin.

If you die before me, I'll fuckin' kill you, dude.

Don't worry, I'm gonna outlive your fat ass.

Gi-hun! Is the control room close?

It's up there, but we can't get to it that way, there's too many guards.

Can you three go look around for another route?

I was checking the layout on my way here.

And I'm pretty sure there's a way around back.

You two focus on keeping these bastards busy.

-I'll find a way to hit the other side. -Okay.

Wait a minute.

Here. Take this with you.

You're gonna need it.

Are you sure, Gi-hun?

Yeah. It's okay, take it. Dae-ho's coming.

That's it. We searched everyone.

Attention, players. The day has ended.

Where the fuck is that asshole?

Please make your way back to your quarters.

Do you think he got lost?

Dae-ho, do you copy?

Dae-ho, where are you? Come in, Dae-ho!

Where are the extra magazines? Are you on your way?

Dae-ho! Answer me!

Dae-ho! Dae-ho, are you there?

Dae-ho! Say something, come on!

Dae-ho! Do you copy?

We need that ammo now. We're not gonna last much longer.

Something has to have gone wrong. I'll head back down.

We'll cover you.

Covering fire!

Gi-hun, we found it.

You two start firing at them to get their attention.

And we'll take them out from behind.

All right, copy that.

Young-il, what's going on? Have you guys made a move yet?

I'm sorry, Gi-hun.

It's over.

They got us.

Young-il! What's going on? You still there?

Young-il.

Young-il! Say something!

Come in, Young-il!

Young-il! Young-il!

You still there?

Let's wrap things up.

Dae-ho! Dae-ho!

Dae-ho, where are you? Has anyone seen Dae…

Dae-ho!

Dae-ho.

What's going on?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Where are they?

Forgive me. I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry…

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Everyone, face down!

Don't.

This isn't a good way to die.

They're moving up, guys!

They're going to this side!

I say we try to head back.

This way is blocked too.

Attention, players.

The day has ended. It's time to turn in for the night.

Please make your way back to your quarters immediately.

If you do not comply with these orders,

-then you will be eliminated. -No, wait. Don't do it!

I will now repeat the instructions.

Attention, players. The day has ended.

It's time to turn in for the night.

Please make your way back to your quarters immediately.

-If you do not comply… -Let's put down our guns.

If we surrender, they might not kill us.

Ah, shit.

Advance team, do you copy? We're out of ammo over here.

I'm gonna surrender.

Let us go--

Wait, please don't shoot.

I have a sick daughter at home who--

We surrender.

Player 456.

Did you have fun playing the hero?

Now, witness the consequences of your little game.

Gi-hun…

No!

Jung-bae!

Jung-bae…

Player 390, eliminated.
