Sixteen.

I can’t go with 16.

Whatever it is, it’s too dangerous to go last.

Number 1?

That means I’ll be starting the game off.

Then should I go last?

No, that seems wrong too.

Gi-hun, pull yourself together.

Down to two positions, first and last.

The start and the finish.

Two places you really don’t wanna be.

Going first in a life-or-death contest?

Very scary.

But recall, too, that in the first game, most of the contestants in the back died after running out of time, so.

you can’t feel too comfortable picking 16 either.

Where are you going?

Excuse me.

Could I be number one instead?

As long as I can remember, I’ve been hiding behind people when I got scared.

My life has been this thing that I’ve never really been able to truly control.

And I tried to act like I wasn’t afraid, but I was.

And now, as always, I’m choosing my number last after everybody else here.

I wanna get at least one last chance to claim ownership of my life.

Sir, give this chance to me.

Please just give me that.

Thank you!

Thank you!

You fuckwad!

Piece of shit!

Now, the game will begin.

Oh, wow.

It’s bigger!

Yeah.

A lot bigger.

Hello, players,

let me welcome you all to the fifth game.

The fifth game is Glass Stepping Stones.

The stepping stones before you are made from one of two types of glass, one will be tempered glass and the other will be normal glass.

The tempered glass stepping stone as strong enough to hold the weight of two people.

However, the normal glass will break even if just one person steps on it.

For this game, you will guess which one of next two tiles is the tile made of the stronger tempered glass, and only step on those across the 18 pairs of tile.

You may then cross over to the other side safely and pass this game.

That means the numbers on us.

Are the order in which you will cross the bridge.

But then, how do I tell which is the tempered one?

Scumbag.

For this game, you will have 16 minutes.

Players must cross the bridge within those 16 minutes.

And now, with that, let the game begin.

Each player, take off your shoes, then go up to the tiles in order.

What are you doing?

We’re losing time!

Hurry up and go!

Just jump!

Are you just gonna stand there?

Hey.

Take your step now or I’ll push your ass.

I’ll go.

I’ll go, okay?

I’ll go.

I’ll go right now.

And please try to choose carefully, huh.

You did it.

You picked right.

Yes, that’s it.

Keep doing that one after the other.

Come on.

You got this.

That’s it.

Go on.

He’s gone.

Oh, no.

Step one was left.

Step two is on the right.

You can do it.

Hey, you got this.

Hurry the hell up and go!

I’m looking at 15.

Stop stalling!

The tiles ahead of me.

Let’s go.

So the probability that.

We don’t have time for this.

I’ll get everything right is.

Hey, you got this two to the power of fifteen.

Times that.

One in 32,768.

Damn it.

Excuse me, ma’am.

Do you think that you could help me?

You happen to remember what he chose next?

I can’t seem to recall which one now.

Oh, I don’t know, uh, it happened too quickly.

Think hard please.

Since both of our lives depend on getting this next one.

Okay.

The left one I think.

Wait, no.

He went right and then he went left.

Uh, he didn’t do that.

He went left right away.

No, it was right from there.

You, are you sure he went left first?

So he went right.

Number five fucked up.

Another fall from grace.

take that mask off.

take your mask off.

i want to see your face.

Yeah!

There are ten tiles left, and 11 people still playing.

If they manage to step on one or two each, the three of us can get across to the end.

That might not be the case.

If one of those players get scared and starts to run down the time, we are in danger at the back of the line.

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name–

Get up.

What are you doing?

You’re praying right now?

As it is in Heaven.

Seriously?

What’s he doing up there?

Come on!

Just go!

Hey, just get up and stop praying, okay?

You idiot, it’s your turn!

You gotta go!

Everybody will die, you know!

No number can determine when the Lord calls for somebody.

Judgment is called down to us here.

It’s our time to face the Lord.

Anyway, we’re all going to Hell.

Hurry, so I can move to the next one.

If you don’t, then I might have to push you into him, okay?

You want a wind-up dead, buddy?

Get that asshole to stop praying.

Get going, you idiot.

Step forward.

Come on, damn it!

You’ll kill us all!

Thank you.

God bless me today.

Don’t push me.

Okay?

Hey, come on.

I got no reason to push you.

You gotta cross so I can.

Huh?

It’s the left.

It’s the left one.

Get it together.

Okay.

Thanks so much.

You’re doing good.

Now you just keep going.

I know which one of these is the strong glass.

You mean it?

You can see the tempered glass?

I’m pretty sure.

It’s in the color.

You don’t know anything.

Goddamn idiot.

Hey, everybody, listen!

Anyone wanna get across?

Well, you better go first then.

Ah, shit.

Oh, it’s getting exciting.

What are you doing?

You deaf or what, asshole?

I’m not going until you do.

Are you crazy, man?

But the rule is we go in order.

You can just kiss my ass.

We’re in Hell here.

There’s no rules in Hell.

You wanna go so bad?

Go ahead.

You scumbag!

If you don’t move up, I’ll push you then.

Okay.

Well then, come on.

Then do it!

We’ll all die here together!

Hey, listen, everybody!

I’m not dying here for anyone.

So come on, let’s do this!

Get up here and go ahead.

If you don’t, we all die.

Your choice, dickhead.

Stop that bullshit, you asshole.

The clock is ticking.

You gotta go soon.

You’ll be waiting here till we’re all dead.

Oh, shit.

Tell me everything you know about the game.

Damn it, you better go!

Please just go on!

Just go!

My God, you’re all such idiots.

Man, you used to act like such a tough guy.

Babe, what happened to you?

Are you really pulling the shit?

Oh, man, you’re pathetic.

You’re just an ugly old bitch, okay.

Look, I’m not moving forward.

Why don’t you go first to die?

Fine.

Sure.

You mean.

Meaning you’ll go?

Yeah.

It’s Han Mi-nyeo here.

You don’t think that I’d be able to do something quite as cowardly as waiting here till I die.

Come on then.

Go ahead.

Good luck.

What are you doing?

You’re such an idiot.

Did you believe I’d really die so you could go on?

Let me go.

Remember?

We said we’d stick together right to the end.

Crazy bitch, let me go!

Damn it!

Get your fucking hands off me right now!

Goddamn it!

You betrayed me.

Now you’re going to die.

No, please.

I’ll go first, okay?

Huh?

Let me go, please.

Please!

You coward, dak su.

You goddamn bitch!

Oh.

Now there’s a poetic ending for those two.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

Another student of the Bard.

I had no idea.

Actually, it’s not Shakespeare.

It’s Congreve.

William Congreve.

I like you better when you don’t talk.

Go check the VIP room.

Oh!

Move.

Quick!

You can’t just stop.

Hold on.

Wait, one second.

I can tell the panels apart.

You can tell?

I used to make glass for over 30 years.
