What are you looking at?
What should we do about the game?
Proceed.
Sir.
Thank you.
Looks good on you.
The fourth game will begin momentarily.
All players, follow staff's instructions and proceed to the game hall.
Let me repeat.
The fourth game will begin.
All players, follow instructions from staff and proceed to the game hall.
You are witnessing the fates
of those who broke the rules of this world for their own benefit
and furthermore tainted the pure ideology of this world.
Here you are all equal, with equal opportunity and no discrimination.
We promise to prevent such misfortunes from happening again.
We truly apologize for this tragedy.
EPISODE 6 GGANBU
LIST OF WINNERS
NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT
Your face looks awful.
Why? Is your connection gone?
That fucking…
Welcome to your fourth game.
This game will be played in teams of two.
Find someone you wish to play the game with.
With mutual consent, shake hands and you will become partners.
Let me repeat.
This game will be played in teams of two.
Find someone you wish to play the game with.
With mutual consent, shake hands and you will become partners.
Please form teams of two within ten minutes.
Hey, babe.
Team up with me.
I'm better than you'd expect.
And I'm stronger than most men.
I even have five fraud convictions under my belt.
I never bothered to study, but I'm insanely savvy.
If you play with me,
I'll do anything you tell me.
You'll be shocked to find out what I can do for you.
Please?
I know you all want to team up with me. You're just hesitating.
Why? Can't decide?
Should I decide for you all?
Stop embarrassing yourself.
That won't get anyone to play with you.
Just be honest.
You don't want to team up with a woman or an old man.
Of course not. Our lives are at stake.
We almost died playing Tug-of-War.
You're right.
There's a reason why God created Eve from Adam's rib.
God has given men and women…
different roles and uses.
You idiots.
This isn't the Garden of Eden.
Hey, where are you going?
Why? You want to team up with me?
Dumbasses.
You're making a big mistake letting me go.
-Sang-woo, play with-- -Ali, play with me.
The games here either require strength or brains.
If we team up,
we can win against most teams.
No, don't mind me.
It's okay. Really. It's okay.
You two will make a great team.
I'll find someone else.
Let's make this work.
Well…
Sir.
I'm sorry, but…
You need to put this on.
People will look down on you
if you aren't wearing your jacket.
Let's do this.
At your service, boss.
Hey.
Team up with me.
Why should I?
You'd rather hang onto those boomers over there?
How embarrassing.
I don't care if it's embarrassing. I have to win no matter what.
Then team up with me.
I'll make sure you win.
How will you do that?
Whatever it takes.
Why do you want to team up with me?
Why did you ask me to join you?
You were the only one I thought would come along.
I feel the same way now.
There's no one left better than me.
I was a math teacher outside.
And I was in the local soccer team so I'm fit.
I turned down a bunch of offers to do it with you.
I feel like we'll make a great team.
The thing is…
we don't know what we're going to play.
Stop shopping around and just team up with me.
At this rate, you'll fail to team up with anyone and get left behind.
You know,
the cheater was executed, so there are only 39 left.
Once everyone teams up in pairs, one will be left behind.
Then what will happen?
What do you think?
They'll be eliminated, obviously.
I'm guessing it'll be that old man.
Stop stalling.
Join me.
Sir.
Will you team up with me?
Time for team selection is over.
-All players, proceed to the game hall. -You're all making a big mistake.
You think you can win without me?
I'm Han Mi-nyeo!
I totally owned everyone from Dongducheon to Gangnam!
Damn it.
What if you have to play Gonggi or Elastics?
I'm an expert in those.
So, babe, please play with me. Boys aren't very good at those.
Babe!
Hey, you can be my partner.
Tell everyone with a dick to fuck off.
-What's wrong with you? -We girls should stick together!
-My gosh! -I'm good with women too!
I'll be really good!
Stop it!
-Hey, don't trust this asshole. -Okay, sure.
He's a scumbag. He'll abandon you in no time.
He was in league with that dead doctor out there.
-All right. -Did you know that?
He hid it from all of you to save his own ass.
Tell me if I'm wrong, you son of a bitch!
He was in it with them!
-Hey. -He deserves to die too!
Get the fuck off!
Where is everyone?
Why is everyone gone?
I don't have a partner yet.
Where's my partner?
Who took my partner away?
Where's my partner, you jerks?
Where's my partner?
Bring my partner here! You fuckers!
What a dreadful bitch.
I won't have to see her worthless face anymore.
By the way,
what was she saying earlier?
About you with that doctor…
Forget about it.
That bitch was desperate and said whatever came to mind.
All players, follow the instructions from staff and go to your positions.
Ali, don't be nervous.
The two of us together will win for sure.
Now that I'm with you, I think we can win.
Yes, let's win and get out of here.
We'll take the money and go back to our families.
Okay, Sang-woo.
I used to live…
in a neighborhood just like this one.
Me too.
I lived in an alley just like this as a kid.
Please take one pouch each.
There are ten marbles in each pouch.
Please check how many there are.
Sir, I think we're playing Marbles.
You've played this before, right?
Of course, I have.
I used to play Marbles very often when I was little.
I was pretty good.
I'm not so bad myself.
What a relief.
-I was worried it might require strength. -Good.
In that case, we need to make a pact.
And become gganbu.
Gganbu?
You said you played Marbles a lot. How could you not know about gganbu?
The neighborhood friend you share marbles, ddakji, and everything with.
Mine, yours, doesn't matter.
Yes, that gganbu. I remember now.
I had one in my town too.
-He was my best friend. -Yes, that gganbu.
Was this how you make a pact?
You're right. This is it.
-Sir. No, my gganbu. -Yes?
Let's sweep all the marbles in this neighborhood.
In this game, use your ten marbles to compete with the partner next to you.
The player who takes all ten marbles from their partner wins.
Let me repeat.
Use your ten marbles to compete with the partner next to you.
The player who takes all ten marbles from their partner wins.
Honey.
Damn it.
Sang-woo.
How pretty.
Sir.
You have 30 minutes.
Let the games begin.
Sir.
Let's do this.
That means one of us will die.
Then you want to just stand around and die together?
Or you'll die on my behalf?
You've never played this, right?
This is the biggest tragedy since the Korean War.
Right?
What should we play?
You're so cold.
As cold as ice.
Are you really a spy from the North?
Cut the crap.
Tell me what game to play.
I have no idea either.
This is what those boomers used to play as kids.
They said we're free to create our own rules.
I'll give it some thought.
It was definitely somewhere around here.
Sir, we have to play this game right now.
This is weird.
It's definitely this alley.
Where did my house go?
Sir.
You just have to guess if the number of marbles in my fist is odd or even.
Odd or even?
What's that?
Odd numbers like one, three, and five.
Even numbers are two, four, and six.
Do you get it?
Give it some thought and bet your marbles on either one.
Odd.
How many did you bet?
Damn it.
I should've bet one more.
Stop giggling, asshole.
Damn it, why are you swearing at me?
You really thought I was your lackey because I called you boss?
You want me to kill you, son of a bitch?
Kill me? And how are you going to do that?
You can't resort to violence, you fucking dumbass.
Sir, we really have to play now.
What?
Marbles!
Marbles?
See? Everyone else is doing it.
We have to do this too.
No.
I'm not some child!
Wait. Sir!
Let's…
end the game with a single round.
Let's bet everything and just play one round.
Is that what you want to be doing until the clock runs out?
Yes! Nice.
Damn it.
Two, three, four.
My turn.
Fine. What are we playing?
Why are you in such a hurry?
Are you dying to kill me?
We're playing just one round.
We have some time left.
Let's do it last minute.
Then what are we going to do until then?
Let's talk.
Talk about what?
Things we couldn't tell other people.
One of us is going to die here anyway.
No matter what we tell each other,
there's no chance of an awkward encounter.
Don't you think?
Even.
How many did you bet?
Two.
Your turn.
I don't want to do this with you.
Sir.
I want to play with someone else.
Stop talking nonsense and take the marbles.
That old man has dementia.
He's not in his right mind.
Isn't he basically withdrawing from the match?
He can't play the game. No?
Damn it.
Let's just play once. This is really…
It's a lot of fun.
I want to go home.
I know my house is somewhere in this alley.
Damn it!
Will you please pull yourself together?
If we stay like this, we'll both die!
You might not care since you have that tumor in your head,
but I have to make it out alive!
I have to survive and leave this damn place!
Stop yelling at me.
I'll play with you.
And 12, 13, 14, 15. All right!
Shit, change the game.
Why should I? I'm on a roll.
We played it your way until now,
so now we're playing what I want.
I don't want to.
Fuck.
Let us change the game. That's only fair.
You people said everyone is equal here, didn't you?
Request accepted.
What do you want to play?
Even.
What are you doing? Open your hand.
You bastard.
You're cheating, aren't you?
Sang-woo, what are you talking about?
How come you keep winning?
You only have a 50-50 chance of winning.
This doesn't make any fucking sense!
No, I didn't do anything.
You jerk. You played innocent all this time, tricking me!
You said you've never done this before!
What did you do? Tell me!
Why did you come here from the North?
I thought it'd be better here.
So?
Is it better?
What about your family? Did they come with you?
Just my younger brother.
What about your parents?
My dad was shot while crossing the river. He drifted away.
My mom…
was caught by the public security officers in China, then sent back.
Where's your brother?
At a children's home.
Even.
Odd. Even. Odd. Even.
Did I win?
How many did you bet?
Damn.
We take turns throwing a marble until one lands in that hole.
If I make it?
Then you get to take all the marbles on the ground.
So you're going for a hail Mary pass.
What's wrong? Are you scared?
Shit. I'm not scared.
I'm not so bad when it comes to putting things into holes.
Are you okay with that?
If you leave here with that money, what will you do with it?
I'll get a house for me and my brother, and bring my mom from the North.
Hey, you can do that and much more with 40 billion won.
Anything else?
Is there anywhere you want to go?
Jeju Island.
Jeju Island?
I saw it on TV.
It looked exotic and nothing like Korea.
Hey, you should dream bigger than that.
You should go to Hawaii, no, the Maldives at least.
And have a mojito too.
Mojito?
Haven't you seen that movie?
The one with Lee Byung-hun.
"Go to mojito and have a glass of Maldives."
Don't you know?
Man, you're worse than I thought.
Once we get out of here,
I need to teach you how people splurge in the South.
Right. We can't both leave.
I'm sorry, Ali.
I mistook you.
But I can't die like this.
If I die here…
my entire family will die too.
I'm sorry, Sang-woo.
I'm so sorry,
but I have a family too.
Hey, Ali.
If you help me, there's a way both of us can make it out alive.
You got this far all thanks to me.
I gave you the bus fare,
my strategy helped you survive Tug-of-War,
we kept watch at night together,
and just before the game, we promised to leave here together, didn't we?
So, please.
Please trust me this once and help me.
Please?
What's your plan?
Could it be odd?
It might be even.
-It must be even. -Hurry up and say it.
Odd.
I won again.
How many did you bet?
Damn it.
I have one left.
I still have one left.
Fuck.
My guess is that
some of the teams won't be able to decide the winner in time.
Why not?
Do you remember the rule?
The person who takes their partner's marbles in 30 minutes wins.
But think about it.
Neither player might win all the marbles in 30 minutes.
They win, lose, go back and forth.
I'm sure there will be teams without any winners.
What will they do then? Eliminate all those people?
That makes no sense. They must decide the winner. Right?
Yes.
Then, I'm sure they'll make us compete in teams.
Each team will add up their marbles,
and play against another team with 20 marbles.
We'll get to play as a team
as we'd originally planned.
We can leave this place together.
Player 414, eliminated.
Do you want…
to do that to me?
Player 2, eliminated.
Had you ever seen a dead body before coming here?
A plague broke out in my town when I was a kid.
People died day after day.
Soldiers piled up the bodies and burned them.
That's when my grandma, grandpa, and older brother
all burned up.
I got to say, your stories are way too dark.
You?
What about you?
Player 130, eliminated.
The first one I saw
was my mom.
One day I came home after school,
and found her dead on the floor.
Next to her
was my so-called dad with a knife in his hand.
The next person I saw dead…
was my dad.
And the one standing next to him with a knife was me.
He was a pastor.
Whenever he beat my mom
and did the unthinkable to me, he always prayed…
for our sins to be forgiven.
But he didn't pray the day he killed my mom.
Maybe he knew he couldn't be forgiven.
Player 40, eliminated.
Even.
No, wait.
One second.
Wait, hold on.
Odd.
What did you just say?
What?
What…
did you just say?
Even…
I said even.
That means
I lost.
Are you sure we can both win?
Really?
Hear me out first and turn me down if you don't like the plan.
If you do that,
I'll just give you my last marble.
So you won't feel guilty about killing me.
What's…
your plan?
Player 68, eliminated.
It depends on who we'll be up against.
We have to find out which teams will remain.
We don't have much time, so let's split up and see how other teams are doing.
From teams that are still playing, find ones that are very young and very old.
Their age?
Yes, that's what's important.
Find out if they're young like you or if they're over 50.
You take the alley across the street. I'll go the other way.
Okay, Sang-woo.
Ali.
Your pouch.
It's dangerous carrying it like that.
Everyone will go crazy at the last minute. Who knows what'll happen?
We're doomed if you lose this. You know that, right?
I'll make it safe for you to carry.
What will you do if you leave here with the money?
I haven't thought about it.
Someone was waiting for me
when I was released from prison.
I thought he was a creditor who came to collect my dad's debt.
But he gave me a business card.
That weird card.
I just came because I had nowhere else to go.
So I haven't thought about what I'd do if I get out.
Should we go to Jeju together?
Sorry.
My mistake, again.
Player 229, eliminated.
Damn it.
Shit.
I thought it'd go in. Damn it.
You have nothing left now?
I still have…
one left.
Deok-su.
It was fun while it lasted.
It went in. That's mine! My blue marble!
It was fun while it lasted, asshole.
Shit!
You bastards!
Player 278, eliminated.
Here.
What do you think? Doesn't it seem much safer?
Yes.
Then we'll meet here again when the timer hits three minutes.
I'll tell you my plan then.
Odd.
One, two, three.
We both have three marbles.
Yes, but what did you just say?
What?
What did I say?
You said it's even.
Did I…
say that?
Yes.
That means…
I lost again.
Player 43, eliminated.
A team of older people.
Player 85, eliminated.
Just throw it already.
Three youngsters.
I can't believe I missed it!
Two old people.
Player 276, eliminated.
It's your turn.
What?
Right.
Here.
Odd.
What's the date today?
The 24th of this month is my son's birthday.
I was supposed to buy him a toy robot for his birthday.
But I completely forgot and didn't get him anything last year.
I have to get him something this time.
Right.
What did you say?
Odd.
I have 20 marbles.
The rule is that, no matter what the game is,
I have to obtain all my partner's marbles without using any violence.
I didn't use any form of violence.
How many? Two left?
Damn it.
You have three minutes until the game is over. You have three minutes.
Player 158, eliminated.
Let's do it.
Whoever throws a marble closest to that wall wins.
What do you think?
It's Sae-byeok.
What is?
My name.
Kang Sae-byeok.
Sae-byeok.
Nice name.
What about you?
Ji-yeong.
Family name?
I don't have one.
Who should go first?
You can go first.
Your number is before mine too.
All of my marbles are gone.
What should I do?
I'd love to play more.
Can you lend me just one marble?
I'm sorry.
Player 70, eliminated.
Look at this.
I have one marble left.
There was one left.
Two, four, six, eight,
two, four, six, eight. Nineteen.
Nineteen.
No. Sir, wait.
Sir!
What are you doing?
I lost.
What do you think you're doing?
That marble just slipped.
Is that what you meant by you making sure I win?
You thought I'd be grateful?
Throw it again.
Even if I did, I wouldn't be able to win anyway.
Just let me lose in style.
Stop acting cool and just throw it again!
I don't have anything.
What?
You have a reason to leave this place.
But I don't.
Since you asked me…
I've been thinking about what I'd do once I get out.
But no matter how much I think, I can't think of one.
Someone with a good reason should be the one to leave.
That's the right thing.
Make sure you leave this place alive.
And…
meet your mom.
Get your brother back.
And go to Jeju Island too.
Sang-woo.
Sang-woo, where are you?
Sang-woo. Sang-woo!
I checked everyone.
Sang-woo!
Player 199, eliminated.
Kang Sae-byeok!
Thanks…
for playing with me.
Player 240, eliminated.
Sir, let's play just one more time.
Please, one more round.
Damn it.
It's this house.
I used to live in this house
with my wife and son.
I had a small pond in the front yard too.
Sir, you have one marble left.
You have to play that game with me.
When I'd come home from work,
my son would be having so much fun with his friends.
He didn't even realize I'd come home.
Pull yourself together!
Pull yourself together and listen to me!
I'd hide behind that telephone pole
and take a peek at him playing.
They were having so much fun.
Please.
Please pull yourself together.
I beg you, please.
Why don't we play one more round betting everything we have?
What?
I'll bet everything I have.
You bet everything you have too.
What do you mean?
We're going to bet everything you have and everything I have.
That's only fair.
Are you telling me to bet everything to get that one marble?
What kind of nonsense is this?
That makes no sense!
Then…
does fooling me…
and taking my marbles make sense?
Take it.
It's yours.
We're…
gganbu, aren't we?
Don't you remember?
We made a pinky promise to be each other's gganbu.
With gganbus, mine or yours doesn't matter.
Thank you.
For everything.
Thanks to you…
I had a good time.
Here.
It's all right.
Everything…
will be all right.
I remember my name now.
My name is Il-nam.
Oh Il-nam.
Player 1, eliminated.
