Well, what’s wrong?

So the thing is.

How about you use your body to pay?

A what?

What the hell, man?

I’ll take a 100 grand off per slap.

One more round.

One more round.

Did you see that?

I beat you, man!

Did you see that?

I did it.

I won.

Get over here.

It’s my turn to do this.

What are you doing, jerk?

Your 100 grand.

You’re welcome, sir.

Oh, yeah.

The money.

You know, sir.

There are other games like this where you can make even more.

Come on, it must sound tempting.

Hey, dude.

Is this some new pyramid scheme or what?

Look, I’m desperate, okay?

Still, not that desperate yet.

Mr. Gi-hun.

Earlier, you signed away your physical rights.

Your name, Seong Gi-hun.

47 years old.

You attended Daehan Technical High School.

Worked at Dragon Motors, Assembly Team One.

The company laid you off ten years ago.

Opened a chicken shop, and then a small snack bar.

Both of them failed, you’re working as a chauffeur right now.

You’ve been divorced for about three years, and your daughter is ten years old.

A hundred and sixty million won owed just to loan sharks, and you owe 250 more to the bank.

Who are you?

What business of yours is all that?

We don’t have many spots left.

Just think about it.

All right, then.

♪ I got thirsty ♪

You drink at all tonight?

No.

I haven’t had a drop, but I feel tipsy still, anyway.

Because look what I got.

Gi-hun, what did you do now?

You gambled again?

Don’t you look at me like that.

I didn’t.

I earned it all this time.

It’s all legit.

What’s with your face, by the way?

What’d they try to beat you up for now?

Hey.

Forget it.

Sang-woo been around here?

How’s he doing at work?

Always keeping busy.

Right now, he’s on a business trip abroad.

Ah, ungrateful prick.

Tell him to give me a call when he gets back in town.

After all I did?

He got into Seoul National University, thanks to me.

I used to take him to school when we were young.

That’s why he went to school, got a good job.

He at least ought to buy me a drink.

What are you talking about now?

Here, take this home, okay?

Not to a bar.

Go straight home.

Here.

Keep the change.

♪ I open the fridge ♪

♪ To find a treat ♪

♪ But she pour it all down ♪

Prick!

That was 12,000 won.

♪ Mom salted the mackerel ♪

Are you hungry?

Here.

Come on.

You have to finish it, okay?

I got that with the money I made getting slapped, so enjoy it.

♪ My stomach was empty

Yeah, my pockets were light ♪

♪ I got thirsty late at night ♪

Here.

Some allowance.

Come on.

Take it.

Hold on.

Were you out gambling again?

Of course not.

Wait a minute.

What did you do to your face?

Answer me right now!

It was nothing like that!

Hold on.

Are you saying this money is stolen?

I didn’t steal anything, Mom.

I earned it all.

I worked, okay.

All day, I worked my hands and face off to earn this money for us.

Oh, gosh.

So did you get fried chicken for Ga-yeong?

Yes, I got her dinner and my present and everything.

It was nice.

And did anything come up tonight?

Like what?

Ga-yeong, her mother, and her stepdad are all going somewhere.

They’re moving to the US next year.

And you’ll see next year, huh.

I’ll get an awesome present for you.

Okay?

Ga-yeong, I swear.

Next year?

The US?

That’s right.

Her stepdad’s job begins soon and needs him to go.

So the entire family is going to move there.

I see.

You hear me?

How can you eat anything right now, huh?

You need to get your daughter to stay here.

And how do I do that?

We’re done.

We settled that when we agreed to the divorce.

I talked to that young man upstairs who knows the law, and he said that the father has to show the child will have financial support, and when you can prove that then you can take custody.

If she moves to the US, you know what will happen?

She’ll forget how to speak Korean.

She won’t be able to talk to you like she can right now.

You’re going to become a stranger to her.

Are you sure that you can really keep going without seeing your little girl?

Hello.

Who’s calling?

Hello.

You gave me your business card earlier.

Do you wish to participate in the game?

If you wish to participate, please state your name and birthdate.

Mr. Seong Gi-hun?

Uh, yeah.

Password?

Red light, green light.

That’s the password.

I guess everyone is pretty tired.

How long will it take to get to the game venue or whatever?

What?

Fifty.

Fifty-two.

Fifty-five, fifty-six.

Excuse me, sir.

And then, there are those–

What are you doing?

Stop talking to me or I lose count.

And so I was at 50, so the.

Ah, you must be trying to count how many of us there are, is that right?

That’s right.

So could you stop talking to me for a while?

And then.

Huh?

Hold on.

Where was I just then?

Up on the board, sir.

There are 456 here.

Look, that means you were given the number one.

And I’m.

I’m the last.

I know all that too.

I’m just counting the numbers.

My doctor said counting is good so I don’t get dementia or anything.

If dementia’s a concern for you, then what are you doing here?

I think you’d wanna stay at home, let your daughter-in-law cook your meals for you.

Go sit on a coffee chair somewhere.

And look at your grandkids, I think.

You think so?

What about both of your parents?

Do they get nice food cooked by their daughter-in-law all day long?

I don’t have much time left now.

The doctor said there’s a lump inside over here.

Growing every day.

Your.

your head?

Brain tumor.

You little shit!

Stop them!

Hey!

Wow.

It really is a small world, huh!

Look at those eyes.

You still have that temper, huh.

Then again nobody broke your spirit, you could always take a hit.

I took care of you, I fed you, I taught you when you had nowhere else.

This is what I get?

You took more from me than whatever I might possibly owe.

If all of that’s true, how come you ran then?

Well, I didn’t.

I went independent.

“Independent”?

Independent, huh?

Are you some kind of activist?

Come on then, go wave a flag.

Oh, that’s right.

You’re from North Korea, huh?

Then wave theirs.

Damn you!

Hey, you come here.

Hold still.

That scar on your neck.

You’re the damn pickpocket!

You loser.

My money, give it back.

Where is it?

You took it.

I need it– Ah!

What the hell?

Who are you?

What do you think you’re doing?

Me?

Uh, well.

Look.

The name’s Seong Gi-hun.

I live in Ssangmun-dong.

Hey, Ssangmun-dong shit.

Yeah?

This little bitch and I weren’t done talking.

Yeah, I understand that.

It’s just there’s something that me and this woman should talk about urgently.

You bastard!

What scheme are you two running?

You’re asking me?

What’s your problem with this girl, 101?

Yeah, I’ll bet that, that you’re a thug who preys on girls that takes advantage of them.

Did you tell her to rob me like that?

You little son of a bitch!

Get away!

Hey, he wants to hit me.

This thug is trying to hit me, huh!

Hey, somebody get over here!

We need help!

Oh, there they are!

Over here.

She’ll pick all our pockets, sir.

Him too.

They’ll pick, they’ll pick.

I would like to extend a heartfelt welcome to you all.

Everyone here will participate in six different games over six days.

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

And why should we believe that?

Y-You took all our stuff and put us to sleep coming here, and then you brought us to this strange warehouse.

Now you’re saying you’ll pay us if we go and play a few games?

You really expect us to buy that?

We reluctantly took all of those measures to maintain confidentiality as we brought you here.

We’ll return everything once the games are over.

You all.

you all have masks.

Why are you wearing those things?

We do not disclose the faces and personal information of our staff to any of the participants.

It’s a measure we take to ensure fair games and confidentiality.

Please understand.

Well, I don’t believe you one bit.

You got that?

You tricked us.

We were kidnapped.

You can make as many excuses as you want to make sure nobody knows you broke the law in here.

If you’re going to make up for that, then we’re gonna need something more.

When we first went to see each of you, not a single one of you trusted us.

But as you all know, we played a game, and as we promised, gave you money when you won.

And suddenly, everyone here trusted us.

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 choose.

Will you go back to living your old and depressing lives getting chased by your creditors?

Or will you act and seize this last opportunity we’re offering here?

One question.

If we win, just how much do we get?

Your prize money will be accumulated in there after every game.

We will disclose the amount to everyone after the first game is over.

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