The intruder?

We haven’t located him yet, sir.

Make sure you catch him.

The VIPs will arrive soon.

Deok-su, honey, so glad you won.

How.

how the hell.

What?

You’re looking at me like you’ve seen a ghost.

Are you okay?

The masked guys all called me this, “the weakest link.

Like when nobody chooses you as a partner for things when you were a kid.

Hey, this guy knows about it.

The weakest link!

And after that, they gently escorted me back to this dorm.

Because they said that it’s all a part of a rule that in the old days not to let a kid turn into some kind of an outcast, I guess.

Goddamn it!

It’s amazing, isn’t it?

Front Man speaking.

I’m happy to hear you enjoy the game, sir.

Yes, sir.

The host is currently waiting for the VIPs to arrive.

Are you in here right now?

You’re good, but you made one mistake.

I always put the receiver down the other way.

The bullet you shot was from a Smith and Wesson M60 revolver, standard issue for Korean police.

What’s a cop doing here without a partner?

I am sure you have lots of questions.

It’s not too late to come out and talk.

I don’t know how you got in, but you can’t leave this place without my permission.

We found a body.

Where is it?

The northern coast of the island.

Don’t worry about it.

He was an old man you only knew for a few days.

See that man there?

His partner was his wife.

We found this police ID on him.

The VIPs have arrived.

Incinerate the body.

Let.

Let’s just stop all this.

I can’t keep doing this.

I can’t.

The majority must agree.

Well, come on, let’s get out.

Half of us, that’s all we need to end this right now.

Don’t any of you want to leave this horrible place?

Anyone who wants to go, stand up.

Let’s get out of here.

How can you call yourselves human?

How many of you can continue with this insanity just for the money?

You just had to kill the ones you were the closest to at this place, and you’re good with that just to get the money?

So what if we stop now?

You think your wife will stop being dead if we all go now?

And she’ll forgive you for letting her get murdered?

If you can’t keep going, then why are you alive right now?

You should’ve been the one who died in there instead.

See that?

That’s the price of being in here.

And your wife and the others paid it with their lives.

No.

And you wanna go and leave?

You wanna start from the beginning again?

You ready to do all that, huh?

Starting over again from nothing with that guilt.

And is everybody here ready to do that as well?

Go ahead, stand up!

Let’s see who thinks they are.

Get up and get out of here!

No.

The VIPs have arrived outside.

Greetings.

I hope your long trip here has not been too difficult.

I am the Front Man.

I oversee all of the operations here at this facility.

It is a true honor to welcome you.

Where is the host?

Regrettably, some urgent business has prevented him from attending.

Seriously?

I find it hard to believe the host would miss a night like tonight.

He asked me to apologize on his behalf.

Did some problem happen here?

Not at all.

It’s just a personal matter of the host.

The remaining games will be held as scheduled.

I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.

Well, I hope not.

Listen, I’m willing to give anybody some slack.

That’s not a problem.

I just have to say that I’m a difficult man to please.

I hope you won’t disappoint me.

Shall we?

Oh, Lord, be my shepherd, be my guide.

May you watch over me tonight.

May you give me protection and strength that I need to make my way through these routes, and may you light the path to my salvation.

I give myself to you, Oh Lord.

Please look down on me with pity and forgiveness.

I pray for those who have sacrificed themselves for me, or forgive them as well.

Hear me, Oh Lord, help me and forgive me for what I have done and what I may do.

I live with my heart only by your graces.

I am your humble servant, and I seek repentance for my sins.

Oh, God, protect me and save my soul.

I know I’m a sinner, but I seek holy absolution in your light.

I am dying to know what this next game is.

Give us a hint, will you?

As much as I’d like to, sir, I’d hate to ruin the fun for everyone.

The games of this edition have been amazing.

Right.

The contest in Korea was the best.

Thank you.

I believe this next game will exceed your expectations.

Well, that’s why we came all this way.

Trust me.

The screens we have at home are plenty big, but nothing beats seeing with your own eyes.

No!

No, don’t do it, you idiot!

You asshole!

Fucking loser!

What are you so worked up about?

I put a lot of money on that dickhead to win.

Oh!

How much did you bet?

A million bucks!

Ooh.

What convinced you to bet so much on number 69?

Oh, it’s, uh, such a beautiful number, 69.

Oh, you dirty dog.

You can place your bets again before the next game begins.

Why don’t you all get some rest in your rooms?

We’ll come and get you when everything’s ready.

I’m looking forward to it.

So, will you bet on brain or muscle?

So who you’re putting your money on this time?

I think I’m going muscle all the way.

I still haven’t decided yet.

Number 101.

What about you?

I’m torn between a couple of them.

Sixty-two, I think.

Your shift’s over.

Player 69, eliminated.

Attention, all players.

The fifth game is about to begin.

All players, follow the staff’s instructions and swiftly make your way towards the game hall.

let me introduce the next game.

What’s that thing?

Looks like a bridge of some sort.

I like the looks of it.

What the hell is that?

Welcome, players, to the fifth game.

Before we begin, please make your way down the steps and choose one of the mannequins that you see presented before you.

Once you’ve chosen, take the corresponding vest.

They are numbered 1 through 16.

Let me repeat the instructions.

Please make your way down the steps and choose one of the mannequins that you see before you, and take the corresponding vest.

They are numbered 1 through 16.

Ooh, this is exciting.

Gentlemen, this may be the deciding moment.

There are plenty of other variables, but I think the order, in which they compete, matters most.

Who are you betting on this time?

Ninety-six.

What’s your reason?

Well, if I can’t do 69, I’ll try 96.

Good luck with that.

How do you know this guy?

I didn’t bring him.

I thought you brought him.

Me?

No.

Oh, jeez.

You kill me.

There are 16 people left, and there are 16 numbers.

It was on the sixth day that God created the first man on Earth.

And now, I will go back to that day God made us sinless and innocent.

Okay.

Lucky number seven, come on.

Animal instinct.

When faced with danger, seek refuge in the herd.

What should I do?

The middle numbers are all taken.

Only two choices left.

Front or back?

I can’t say I’d know which one to choose either.

Shall I help them along with their decision?

Sure, drop them a hint.

Show mercy to the miserable!

Okay, do it.

Your attention, please.

The numbers you see on the mannequins correspond to the order in which you will be playing.

Please make your decision carefully.

The order?

That we’re playing in?

Okay.

If this is the order we’d play, then the low numbers are better.

It’s probably gonna have a time limit like Red Light, Green Light and Honeycomb.

It’s better to get a head start.

Wait.

No.

It’d be too dangerous to go first without knowing the game.

If I stay in the back, I can watch the ones who go first and make a plan like in Tug-of-War.
