Original subtitles

Since the majority of players did not choose greater good,

the prize token cannot be obtained.

- We didn't get it? - For real?

That's unbelievable.

Is this a prank?

- Who was it? - Let's see it.

Dong-jae.

- Dong-min. - Kyung-lyul.

Jin-ho?

Jin-ho?

- Jin-ho? - Jin-ho?

Turns out he was the one.

Seeing myself in last place on that board was just so irritating.

As soon as the options appeared on screen, I pressed option two.

I'll choose one.

- Did you press it? - Yes.

That makes six, right?

Someone could be lying.

He didn't lie that much on The Genius.

Hong Jin-ho has changed.

We need to teach Jin-ho a lesson.

This won't do, Jin-ho.

If he had just looped me in,

we could've secured the prize money, and I would've helped him out.

That damn punk.

He needs to get it together.

And just like that, we've dropped to the bottom.

Jin-ho had no reason to go for option one.

- So, we're at the worst-case scenario? - That's right.

The third mini-game will now be revealed.

The third mini-game of Either Or is

Lay the Grass.

In Lay the Grass,

players will place their grass tiles on the park board to earn points.

The park board consists of 114 squares,

and the grass tiles come in seven types, each made up of multiple squares.

Starting with the player with the lowest score,

each player will publicly select one grass tile.

In the event of a tied score,

the player with the higher priority ranking will go first.

Players may select the same grass tile as another player.

Once selected,

a grass tile cannot be changed until the end of the game.

Once all players have selected their grass tiles,

they will take turns placing the tiles on the park board.

Players will take turns placing tiles,

starting with the player with the lowest-numbered tile.

If players have the same tile number,

the player with the higher priority ranking will go first.

Priority ranking is a big deal here.

When placing the grass tiles,

players may not flip them over.

There won't be enough space.

Players who successfully place a grass tile

will earn points equal to the number of the tile.

Players who fail to place a grass tile

will earn no points.

The game will conclude once all players have had a chance to place their tiles.

We will now begin the fifth selection.

I'm sick of making choices already.

Players who choose points will earn five points immediately.

Players who choose intel

will get to see the options for the next three selections

in the dealer room.

- Next options, huh? - Five points is a lot though.

I went so far as to lie earlier

to get those five points and move up a bit in the rankings.

At the very least, I need to score enough points

to keep from slipping in the rankings.

Choosing to acquire advanced intel in a game like this

is a bit meaningless since it always ends up being shared anyway.

What's with the holes?

Nothing was mentioned about the holes yet, right?

POINTS: ACQUIRE 5 POINTS INTEL: PREVIEW OF 6TH, 7TH, 8TH SELECTIONS

You should choose option one. I'll choose two.

I thought alliances might play a major role in this game.

Team Greater Good?

Choose option one. I'll choose two.

Those who chose greater good earlier came to mind first.

It wasn't because I felt bad or some sort of idealistic sentiment.

I just think they're people I can trust.

- I can't prevent ending up in prison. - It's unavoidable.

But I can at least try to prevent elimination.

Those who chose greater good should look out for one another.

- We need to stick together now. - Yeah.

I think those guys have formed Option One Club.

The Greater Good Alliance? Club?

Since I chose personal gain,

I assumed those who chose greater good wouldn't welcome me.

So I figured that even if I'm on my own,

the intel would give me a better shot at the main match.

- Let's say you get first place. - Okay.

Is there someone you'd save from prison if they ended up there?

Honestly,

XITSUH and you are the only ones I've discussed that possibility with.

- XITSUH and me? - Yeah.

We talked earlier.

- So we can't both end up there. - That's right.

I'm sure I'm not the only one

Dong-min wants by his side.

When it comes to intel, we just need one person.

Who could do that for us?

- Whoever has the lowest tile number - Yes?

- takes the first turn, right? - Yes.

That means there's a chance you might not be able to place at all later in the game.

Right.

There must be some sort of gimmick with the holes.

- The intel must be about that, the holes. - Yeah.

We do need intel.

I decided not to go for getting intel.

Kyung-lyul is desperate for first place right now,

so he'll definitely pick points over intel.

Intel? Who needs it?

I'll be fine.

If I just sit tight, it'll find its way to me anyway.

- Who's gonna choose intel? - What?

Who's gonna choose intel?

Me.

- You're giving up the five points? - Yeah.

What are you getting in return?

Nothing.

And who are you sharing the intel with?

Everyone on Team Greater Good.

- Team Greater Good? - Yeah.

Why would you do that?

That's half the players.

It's still an influence game.

Then can you share that intel with me as well?

If Dong-min wanted to, he could easily get that intel.

He would find a way.

He could easily have someone else get it

after promising to make it worth their while.

I'll share it with just Dong-min.

Is that okay?

- Just Dong-min-- - Let me talk to him.

Hey.

Honestly, I'm not against sharing intel with Hyun-min or you.

But both of you have separate alliances, so it might end up diluting its value.

The way I see it,

strength is in numbers.

- Right. - In numbers.

If you bring me the intel

and let me know who's pulling together right now,

then I'll work out a plan

to push everyone outside that group further down the rankings.

In all the survival programs I've seen Dong-min in,

he always kept his word.

I also noticed that he's really good at influence games with multiple players.

I'm gonna choose intel anyway,

and Dong-min is gonna get that intel somehow anyway,

so I believe our needs line up.

Then I'll also pass that intel along to you.

Okay, great.

- Please keep all eight of us in mind. - I will.

All players have completed their selections.

Here are the players' current scores based on their selections.

- That's quite a boost. - No more minus points.

Oh no. I'm in last place.

XITSUH and Yi Do, you have chosen intel.

Please make your way to the dealer room to review the intel.

Hello.

You should've chosen option two now too.

Option one was too good to give up this time.

The upcoming selections will be revealed for the next five minutes.

As long as there are no hidden rules,

- tile 3 seems to be the way to go. - Yeah.

- And if everyone goes for three? Right. - Yeah.

Then only about seven people can place the grass tiles.

They can cause chaos with three.

If someone does that,

- it'll be over after four moves. - Right.

There's a way to cause trouble with tile 3,

so there must be a hidden rule to prevent that.

Choosing a lower-numbered tile means first in turn.

The player can then stake out their space

and disrupt the players who place later than them.

Choosing a higher-numbered tile guarantees more points.

But if a player's order comes too late, there may be no space left.

It is a matter of placing early and claiming a spot

or holding out for a higher score.

And the answer might just lie in that intel.

Please leave the dealer room.

Okay.

They're back.

Was there a lot?

Holy moly. I nearly wrote my hand off.

- Lay the Grass will begin in 20 minutes. - In 20 minutes?

- Let's go. - Team Greater Good.

- Team Fools. - Team Greater Good.

So those who chose personal gain are excluded?

That's right. You can ask Yi Do.

Does this have anything to do with your long talk with Dong-min earlier?

I'll be discussing my deal with him with them as well.

Just give me a sneak peek.

No.

Look, I may have looked like a pushover up until now, but I'm a bulldozer now.

- But you'd need more people anyway. - That's true.

I just haven't figured out what I want in exchange.

But I will need people on my side.

- Then you need to figure it out. - Right.

Do you just wanna join us now?

- Time is of the essence. - Sure.

But why did you agree to share? Did he offer a deal?

Okay, since everyone is here,

- let me do a quick rundown. - Hello, Mr. Jang.

Hey.

- Are they officially a team now? - Yeah.

They're Team Greater Good now.

Really?

As soon as I left the dealer room,

XITSUH and Team Greater Good went off to discuss the intel.

That's when I realized I was screwed.

Intel is only valuable when just a few people have it,

but now over half the players will have it.

Then I thought about how to exclude some people

from having access to it.

I didn't really wanna share it with a lot of people.

I'm really sorry,

but I only really wanna share all the intel with these two.

- I'm really sorry. - Okay.

- Then... - We can leave.

- We'll discuss it and then... - So after that?

- Understood. - Let's hurry. There's no time.

We'll get out quickly.

But can you two promise me that you won't betray me?

- I won't as long as I'm not in danger. - I'm happy to help.

I'm actually fine with just three points.

Dong-min, why did you come to us and not them?

I was originally planning to choose greater good as well.

But when Kyung-lyul told me he chose option two,

- I had no choice but to choose option two. - To maintain your first place.

I was always with you guys at heart.

Of course, you're the closest to winning the prize money.

- I told XITSUH before I chose as well. - He did.

The reasoning did make sense.

And since the top two players

retained their ranks but didn't join forces,

I just didn't question it.

I was in awe of Dong-min's play from the very beginning.

I'm sure everyone was happy to have him.

- Let's all take a look at this. - Okay.

I have terrible handwriting, so let me just read it.

These are the three selections that were revealed to XITSUH and Yi Do.

First, attack or defend.

- I'll explain it quickly. - Okay.

The sixth selection is between attack and defend.

"If attack is chosen, successful tile placement

will double the tile number in points."

"Failure to place will result in a four-point deduction."

If you choose defend, you can cut up to two squares from your tile.

A protruding part like this can just be cut off.

If you wanna cut off two squares, they must be connected.

- They have to be connected. - Yeah.

And it can't be a square with a number.

And the tile can't be separated into two.

Is it an individual or majority vote?

- Individual. - Got it.

Each player decides.

Next is mutual benefit or rivalry.

The seventh selection is between mutual benefit and rivalry.

"If mutual benefit is chosen, two players team up."

"When their tiles are adjacent, each shared side earns a bonus point."

So if three sides are touching, that's three points?

- Exactly. - Okay.

"Bonus points are distributed by mutual agreement."

"If rivalry is chosen, the player wins five bonus points

if there are nine or fewer tiles on the park board, including their own."

Basically, you want everyone to fail except for yourself.

Now, the eighth selection.

Tree or manholes.

The eighth selection is between a tree and manholes.

You must have a hole for the tree, no matter what.

- Common sense. - So you can keep others away.

You're basically placing obstacles on the field.

- So you get to plant them. - Yes.

There are +1 and -1 manholes.

So, placing a grass tile on a manhole adds or deducts one point.

The order is as follows. Manholes, tree, and grass tile.

The placement order.

Since manholes are placed first, you can place them to stop trees.

They can't coexist in the same spot.

- So no trees on top of manholes? - Yes, because manholes are placed first.

When it comes to selecting tiles,

players cannot afford to overlook trees and manholes.

The placement of trees

undeniably limits the placement of lower-numbered tiles without holes.

Since we outnumber them,

they won't be able to put together a disruption strategy involving trees.

Since Yi Do has the lowest score,

as long as we keep a close eye on her,

I believe we can avoid someone on our team being eliminated.

Since she'll be choosing first,

it's unlikely that she'll choose the higher numbers like 9, 11, and 13.

Since the lower-numbered tiles have zero to a few holes,

we can strategically use the trees

to prevent scoring.

If Yi Do picks tile 9 or 11,

we can assume her team is going for points.

Then we can select tile 9

and cut the bottom two for a defensive strategy.

We should be able to place all our tiles if we just have five squares.

Tiles 7, 9, and 11 could all end up with 5 squares.

- Plenty of holes too. - Yeah.

Tile 9 has 3 holes and offers a lot of points.

- But that's not the case for tile 11. - It's too wide.

The five squares are spread out horizontally,

so that will be a bit of a gamble.

Tile 9 is the way to go to score big and play it safe.

- We have two possible strategies. - I get it.

It just depends on what Yi Do ends up choosing.

Strategy-wise, we first need to figure out who we need from that group.

More people knowing doesn't exactly benefit us.

But to come up with a better strategy,

we should bring in Dong-jae or Hyun-min

- to think this through. - I agree.

Come in.

- We need to strategize. - We do.

- Okay. - So...

Yi Do, have you decided?

When did they get here?

Can we come in now?

Can we share the intel with them?

You can decide, Yi Do.

There were three selections that I saw in advance.

But out of the three, what would impact the other players the most

was tree versus manholes.

So, to come up with the strongest defense...

About the eighth selection...

Let's discuss it without sharing the details just yet.

- The eighth selection isn't something - Yeah?

we should be worrying about right now.

But they need to know to choose the right tiles.

For the tile selection?

We're probably gonna select tiles as soon as the time's up.

- Right, so... - The next three selections...

But if you think about it objectively, tile selection is a personal decision.

- That won't help me. - Right, I get it.

My take on the sixth and the seventh selections is

you should be able to get the points you want

and suffer no losses, even if you shared them.

Yeah, that's why I shared...

- Wait, did I not? - No, not yet.

Your time is up.

Lay the Grass will now begin.

The grass tile selection order

has been finalized as per the priority ranking.

Yi Do, please select a grass tile.

- You were saying... - Safe scoring is the right move.

- Tile 11 is a bit risky though. - Right?

Because you'll be placing much later.

- Right. - There might not be any space left.

We should see what the others select first.

We can then decide whether to go for tile 9 and cut it.

- Are you all set? - Yeah.

What do you suggest we do?

What's their strategy?

- They don't really have one. - What?

- No strategy. - Really?

Yi Do kept going back and forth about sharing intel

before running out of time.

Really?

What's your strategy?

Everyone scoring?

- I need at least sixth place. - Right.

- Will my score be affected? - You just need to do as I say.

- Choose defend, and cut two squares. - Okay.

Go with tile 9.

And then attack with trees.

I will select tile 9.

Yi Do, you have selected tile 9.

Ha Seok-jin, please select a grass tile.

Let's have a quick chat.

Gather.

- Gather up. - Gather.

- There was a hand signal. - Gather now?

- Did he share all the intel? - It looks like it.

They're all moving as one.

I guess he did.

Okay, let's do this.

They chose tile 9. Who's up next?

- The next six players are us. - Right.

- Two to seven. - Six of us in a row.

And if there's a tie, Seok-jin and I would mostly outrank them.

If it's a tie of tile 9s.

Then we don't need to worry. Let's go for tile 9.

I'll go for it.

Okay.

- I'll go for tile 9. - Ha Seok-jin, you have selected tile 9.

We should also just share all the intel and figure out everyone's role.

- We still have time. - That's why I said earlier

we need to keep the other team in check.

Then we should come up with a game plan now,

even if we're outnumbered.

- You're going for tile 9, right? - I think so.

- Tile 9? - Yeah, tile 9.

- Tile 9. - Choose that.

I'll do what I can to make sure you score as much as possible.

- Thank you. - We can use the trees and manholes.

If they choose the lower-numbered tiles,

we should all choose trees and stop them from placing.

No issue if they choose the higher-numbered tiles.

Let's go for those points. We need to score some in the end.

That's how you survive.

But doesn't this mean we have to stick with tile 9 now?

I mean, tile 9 is our best option.

- Nucksal, please select a grass tile. - I'll get tile 9, then.

I'll select tile 9.

Nucksal, you have selected tile 9.

Tile 9.

- You have selected tile 9. - Thank you.

- They all chose tile 9. - All of them?

John Park, you have selected tile 9.

John, you went for tile 9?

- Tile 9 for now. - As expected.

I'll select tile 9.

JAE JAE, you have selected tile 9.

XITSUH, you have selected tile 9.

Tile 9?

I couldn't understand why they chose tile 9 despite their low priority ranking.

Especially JAE JAE. She was in 16th place.

If they choose the same tile as Yi Do,

then they can't keep her in check.

Grass tiles are placed in order,

starting with the lowest tile number.

If tile numbers are tied,

the player with a higher priority ranking places first.

Here are the priority rankings of the players

who've selected tile 9 so far.

Yi Do is 11th.

If the goal of the greater good alliance is to keep her in check,

its members should have selected lower-numbered tiles than hers

so they can place their tiles before her.

Why did all those people select tile 9 when Yi Do outranks them

in priority ranking?

I thought she was last.

- No, she's not. - Then who's last?

JAE JAE.

That was my mistake.

I thought Yi Do was last, but it turns out she wasn't.

Nucksal and JAE JAE had lower priority ranking than Yi Do.

But how could they

not have realized this themselves?

- You can't save everyone on your team. - Yeah.

I regret it a lot. I should've gone for a lower number.

I just didn't think it through.

My low priority ranking is an issue.

Should I have gone for tile 7?

Man, I'm screwed.

Nothing's working out today.

Obviously, higher points are always more appealing.

Thinking that they could at least beat Yi Do,

they all chose tile 9 without much thought.

There was a string of that.

The funny thing about being a team

is that no one would feel comfortable

to just up and select tile 6 or tile 7 in that situation.

That'd be as good as saying, "Let me get ahead of you."

That's how things are.

Next, Yurisa.

I'll select tile 6.

My priority ranking is gutter.

I'm in 15th place out of 16.

If there's a tie, I'm 15th in line.

If I choose the same number, my chances of placing are slim.

I'll go with tile 6.

How's this gonna play out?

- Will you select tile 6? - Yes.

Why did Won-young take tile 6?

- I'll take tile 9. - Jeong Hyun-gyu, you have selected tile 9.

I'll take tile 7.

I'll take tile 9.

Next, Hyun Kyung-lyul.

I'll be 5th even with tile 9.

I'll take tile 9.

Hyun Kyung-lyul, you have selected tile 9.

Next, Jang Dong-min. Please select a grass tile.

This is going south real fast.

This is a lot harder than I expected.

I'll take tile 7.

Jang Dong-min, you have selected tile 7.

- I should've gone for that. - I go 12th, then.

Lucky seven.

- Damn it. - This isn't gonna be easy.

GRASS TILE PLACEMENT ORDER

Not easy at all.

- No wonder tile 7 was calling me. - It called me too.

Before the grass tiles are placed,

we will begin the sixth selection.

- "Attack, defend." - Players who choose attack

will earn double the tile number in points upon successful placement.

However, if they fail to place their tile,

four points will be deducted.

Players who choose defend

will have the opportunity to cut up to two squares from their tile

before placing it.

I think attack might actually be better.

You only cut off squares to make sure you can place your tile,

- but our turn comes early. - Yeah.

We can probably pull it off.

And we're starting with six points, so if we succeed, we'll be plus six.

Man, Team Greater Good is becoming a joke.

We actually ended up in the safe zone.

Right?

- I think Yi Do is in danger. - Yeah.

She was testing the waters too much.

She believed she had the upper hand.

Too bad.

- We should go for defend. - Yeah.

But our numbers are unfortunate.

- I know, right? - Yeah.

This is why one must always think for themselves.

All players have completed their selections.

SELECTION 6

We will now begin the seventh selection.

Players who choose mutual benefit

must team up with another player.

If both players successfully place their tiles,

they will earn bonus points equal to the number of sides

where their tiles touch.

Players who choose rivalry

will earn five bonus points when nine or fewer players

have successfully placed their tiles.

The player must also successfully place their own tile

to earn the bonus points.

But it'll be hard for the people who go later.

- Right. - Yeah.

So we need to consider rivalry.

- But wait, Dong-min. - So I...

I think we can squeeze one more in even after Hyun-gyu and me.

It'd be meaningless for me to choose this without you.

- Mutual benefit, I mean. - Mutual benefit?

We have to rule out mutual benefit at this point anyway.

- Mutual benefit is impossible. - My tile placement isn't even guaranteed.

It's not gonna work.

I'll choose rivalry.

I choose rivalry.

Dong-min and I will choose mutual benefit.

Jung Won-young and Jang Dong-min,

you have chosen mutual benefit and formed a team.

Mutual benefit is the only possibility.

When it's our turn, there's no way there will be fewer than nine grass tiles.

- Mutual benefit is the only option. - Right.

- This sucks. - Damn it.

- This is nuts. I keep making bad choices. - Nucksal.

- You took the words right out of my mouth. - Damn it.

All players have completed their selections.

We will now begin the eighth selection.

Players who choose tree

will place a tree on the park board before the grass tiles are placed.

They're so cute.

Trees.

So they fit in right here.

Players who choose manholes will place one +1 manhole and one -1 manhole

on the park board before the grass tiles are placed.

The fact is,

there are a lot of people who chose tile 9 who have to place their tiles.

We've got 11 players lined up with tile 9 starting from the 6th turn.

The 11 of us need to maximize our placement.

Choosing tree and blocking will only work against that.

- It'll be basically done after us. - Of course.

There'll be almost no room.

Let's go with the tree.

- I'll choose manholes. - Manholes?

It's better to stop them from scoring than to get extra points ourselves.

Additional placement might not even be possible.

A tree there will stop them.

We won't be able to place either.

That's not true.

We'll be cutting.

- And they won't be. - Yeah.

- That will be their issue. We'll be fine. - You added that to your calculation?

All players have completed their selections.

SELECTION 8

Players will now place the trees and manholes on the park board.

First up, Jung Won-young. Please place your manholes.

This is fun.

It's freaking nerve-racking.

It's unlikely I'd score with this.

Too many people are ahead of me.

Yurisa, please place your manholes.

That won't fit.

I guess someone will take it.

Hong Jin-ho, please place your manholes.

Let's see.

Here.

And here.

Jang Dong-min, please place your manholes.

Put it here. Form a straight line.

- Here? - Yeah.

- Okay, remember that I did as you asked. - Okay.

- We're even. - He helped.

I did everything you asked.

There's nothing else I can do.

Next, Shindong. Please place your manholes.

Next, Ha Seok-jin.

Next, XITSUH.

Next, Oh Hyun-min. Please place your manholes.

Next, Stella Jang.

John Park, please place your manholes.

They all chose manholes? Where are the trees at?

Weird.

Everyone has so many holes in their tiles

- that trees are pointless. - Yeah.

Unless they're targeting someone.

Next, Yi Do. Please place your manholes.

Next, Nucksal. Please place your manholes.

Next, JAE JAE.

- All the manholes have been placed. - Okay.

- The trees will now be placed. - Next, trees.

- Yurisa, can-- - Kim Dong-jae, please place your tree.

- Can I borrow this? - Sure.

How does this work?

- That doesn't work. - Tile 6?

- I think it was like this. - Like this?

- Like this? - Yeah.

Why did our strategy turn out like this?

Could we not have chosen tile 3 after Yi Do made her choice?

This is one long game,

but everyone saw it round by round, like idiots.

Personal gain prevails.

Good doesn't triumph. This isn't good.

It might help those who chose rivalry if the trees break up the board like this.

- Look, Dong-min. - Yeah?

- Let's say XITSUH and I end up in prison. - Okay.

Who would you save?

Ideally, neither of you ends up there.

We might have to.

But if I'm left in prison,

I'll be in a situation where I've linked you two up,

while I'm alone in a place with no connections.

No, no.

It's not like Hyun-min to say such a thing.

I don't know what's spooking him, but he's asking me to save him.

I'll have to wait and see.

- Next, Hyun Kyung-lyul. - One more?

I have to figure out another spot.

How do you wanna place them?

Oh, my six counts double, so...

- Right. I guess they'll go for this setup. - This way, more sides touch.

- I think they would do this. - Like this?

- It's in the far corner. - Most sides touch that way.

- And it's on the side to help the rest. - It's not bad.

- Then should I place it here? - Do you not wanna block the others?

This will stop them.

He planted it.

It's planted, right?

Okay, okay.

- The center might be better. - Right.

- Right there. Okay. - I'll plant it here.

Next, Jeong Hyun-gyu. Please plant your tree.

Seok-jin.

- This would be best. - Sure.

This will be our goal.

Is there a way to block tile 6?

To keep others away.

- I'll plant it here. - Okay.

Players will now start placing the grass tiles.

Jung Won-young, please place your grass tile on the park board.

Wherever it fits.

Found one.

- Good. - That's a good one.

- Wait. I can just go over them. - Yeah.

- This was what we wanted earlier. - Yeah, that's best.

Okay.

Will we get interfered with or not?

Jung Won-young has successfully placed his tile.

You have placed it over one -1 tile and one +1 tile,

- so no bonus points will be awarded. - Okay.

Next, Yurisa. Please place your tile.

Go, Yurisa.

I have a few options.

If we can deter while building, great.

Nice.

Tile 7 can be placed there, right?

Try it.

I think it can be placed like this.

- It fits. - Does it?

- It won't work. - It's pointless, then.

To stop me?

Then this spot would be better.

- Over here, maybe? - Yeah.

- Like this? - There are a lot of -1 tiles here.

You can either prevent mutual benefit or take up space

to stop others from placing and stop rivalry.

It's up to you.

- You can block that area if you want. - Okay.

Hyun-gyu planted a tree here

so they could go in and stop us.

Considering that,

taking this area to thwart their plan kind of appeals to me.

Is it a bad idea to just place it without considering mutual benefit?

- What about the points? - Why give that up?

If we give that up and reduce available space,

- we can stop others from scoring. - Even more?

- That's possible. - That's another way to get a point gap.

But then what about the people who chose mutual benefit?

This applies to them as well.

- Stopping others from scoring-- - In a way,

you're looking to cause a bit of chaos and skip mutual benefit.

- Like this? - Yeah.

Hong Jin-ho and Yurisa stand to earn five points from mutual benefit.

But if they place their tiles apart as shown,

they could create gaps

to make placement harder for other players,

and it could also stop Jang Dong-min and Jung Won-young's mutual benefit.

- You split four points for mutual benefit. - Yeah.

Two points each.

You could get two points and the plus-ones there.

- Try here. - There's that.

Try here.

Then it's the same.

It is.

It's the same as mutual benefit.

- In reality, yes. - Point-wise, it's the same.

- It'd be fine to each go our own way. - Yes.

Maybe take those two points first.

Right. That's the better option.

- Blocking and scoring. - That's good.

Sharing five points and scoring two are basically the same.

- Not bad, right? - Sure.

Yurisa has successfully placed her tile.

You have placed it over two +1 manholes,

so you receive two bonus points.

Next, Hong Jin-ho.

- I'll place it here. - Looks good.

Hong Jin-ho has successfully placed his tile.

Just over those two measly manhole points.

I think here.

You have placed it above two +1 manholes,

so you receive two bonus points.

Next, Jang Dong-min.

I wonder if you can claim this too.

That might be pushing it.

That works.

Three of these, plus two points.

Oh, you're right.

- Please place your tile. - I just did it.

He still managed to achieve mutual benefit in all this madness.

Jang Dong-min has successfully placed his tile.

You have placed it over three +1 manholes and one -1 manhole,

so you receive two bonus points.

Jung Won-young and Jang Dong-min receive two bonus points.

- We'll take one each. - You receive one point each.

- Next, Shindong. - Okay.

- Here. - Hey, nice.

You have placed it over one +1 manhole,

so you receive one bonus point.

- Only one can place it. Look. - Next, Kim Dong-jae.

- I go here. - Please place your tile.

- Then you can go here. - Yeah.

Then one more here, and it's over.

- And there. - Right. So two, and it's over.

Two, that's it.

- No, three. - There's no more.

One, two, three.

Do we have to cut?

You are not required to.

We don't have to?

In that case,

- it'd be better not to. - I can block this off.

Then let's not cut.

- Don't cut if you wanna block. - Yeah.

Kyung-lyul, when's your turn?

I'm next.

- I'm really sorry, - More people can fit.

but at least nine tiles will definitely get placed.

- Right. - Can you give up on blocking

so I have a chance to place my tile?

I think you will, regardless.

- No, I won't. - He's way down in the order.

- How so? - I'm 11th.

I'm seventh, and four more can fit after me.

- Three if you opt for awkward placement. - I'm saying we'll have more than three.

- Then-- - Four? Maybe five?

How can it be five?

We get one here.

We get two at most here.

- One, two, three, four. That's it. - Five.

There are two here and one there.

- There's definitely space. - But...

You guys think tile 9 can fit here?

- Not in there. - After you cut it.

- Like so. - No. How can that fit?

- Cut it, and place it like that. - No way.

- But there's this. - Oh, the middle?

- Tile 9 can't fit here. - At all?

- It's impossible. - You sure?

- You sure? - Yeah.

So only one can fit here?

- Even if you cut? - Just one, even if you cut.

- One here. - Just one.

And also, the tile has to go in like this.

Yeah.

Then how can two tiles fit in here?

- Like this. - With double thumbs-up.

Two thumbs-up here.

That doesn't work. We can't flip it.

- You're right. - It doesn't work?

Seriously?

This just isn't gonna work.

It's over for me.

That will work.

- Say I place mine here. - Okay.

Only one can go in here, right?

Two tiles don't fit.

- No. - One, and that's it.

One here.

- Then one here. - That works. Okay.

I'll place it here.

Kim Dong-jae has successfully placed his tile.

You receive two bonus points.

Can you cut it here?

Nice.

Hyun Kyung-lyul has successfully placed his tile.

You have placed it over one -1 manhole,

so one point has been deducted.

Next, Jeong Hyun-gyu. Please place your tile.

Should we go our own way?

I don't see an arrangement that'd work.

Jeong Hyun-gyu and Ha Seok-jin have successfully placed their tiles.

- Next, XITSUH. - I forfeit my turn.

Oh Hyun-min, please place your tile.

I cannot.

- Stella Jang. - I'm unable to.

- John Park. - I forfeit.

- Yi Do. - I failed.

- Nucksal. - I refuse.

I decline.

- Decline, huh? - JAE JAE has failed to place her tile.

Nine players have successfully placed their tiles.

Players who chose rivalry will receive five additional points.

That concludes Lay the Grass.

Here are the players' current scores.

Dong-min is still leading at 34.

Shindong and Dong-jae caught up a lot.

- JAE JAE and I are... - Oh dear.

- Yi do and John Park too. - What a shame.

Five players.

The final mini-game will begin shortly.

The final mini-game will be one-on-one.

- What? - Not all players may participate.

The results of this game will determine who will go to prison

and who will be eliminated.

We will now begin the ninth selection.

EITHER OR SELECTION 9 1 PLAYER, 2 PLAYERS

If the players collectively pay eight Pieces,

only the lowest-ranking player will be eliminated in this main match.

- If fewer than eight Pieces are paid, - Fat chance, I'd say.

two of the lowest-ranking players will be eliminated.

JOHN PARK: 13TH, STELLA JANG: 12TH

This is painful.

They won't be able to get eight anyway.

It'd require half the room to sacrifice their own Pieces.

- That's not gonna happen. - Never.

Zero, obviously.

Why are we even voting?

I'd give away one if I had ten.

But I can't give away one when that's all I have.

I had no reason to give away a Piece because I'm well up in the rankings.

I'm currently in last place.

I can survive if I just make it to 15th place,

so I wanted to collect those eight Pieces badly.

When I broke it down,

one player, me, had one point,

one player had two points,

three players had five points,

and one player had six points.

Wouldn't it be better to gather the Pieces?

The chances of our elimination would go from 2/5 and 2/6 to 1/5 and 1/6.

That means our chances of being eliminated would drop by half.

Getting another shot to collect Pieces is way better

- than being eliminated today. - That's very rational.

If you get eliminated,

- you lose your Piece anyway. - You'll lose that Piece anyway.

- But can we get eight? - How are you gonna do that?

You'll need four from Dong-min to start.

- Four from Dong-min. - Okay.

Excuse me, Mr. Jang.

Yeah?

- Please help us out. - With what?

- With Pieces. - Pieces?

- Yes. - You want them?

No, donate.

Here?

Please donate four Pieces to the yet-to-be-determined player.

- Lowest-ranking players are collecting. - Four Pieces?

I already entered zero.

There's no chance now.

Really? Then two it is.

- It's already been decided. - That's our fate.

Not even ORBIT would volunteer.

All players have completed their selections.

No one has paid any Pieces.

Since fewer than eight Pieces were paid,

the two lowest-ranking players will be eliminated in this main match.

The final mini-game will now be revealed.

The final mini-game is Memory Poker.

- That's my game. - Poker!

In Memory Poker, players will memorize 16 cards,

then form the strongest possible hand using the shared cards.

When the game begins, 16 cards will be randomly revealed

from a deck of 52 plain cards for 20 seconds.

Afterward, the three shared cards will be revealed.

Players must choose two cards from the sixteen they memorized

that form the strongest possible hand when combined with the three shared cards.

Oh, I see.

Basically looking for nuts.

Players will select their two cards

by placing markers on the corresponding tiles of the board.

Once both players have made their selections,

their cards will be revealed,

and the player with the stronger hand will win.

Is it a one-off?

We will now list the hands accepted in Memory Poker,

ranked from highest to lowest.

Straight flush.

Four of a kind.

Full house.

Flush.

Straight.

Three of a kind.

Two pair.

One pair.

And lastly, high card.

It's a game for 7high.

If both players have hands of the same rank,

the player with the higher numerical combination will win.

If the card combinations are equal,

the player with the higher remaining card value will win.

Card suits will not be compared.

Players' scores are no longer relevant.

- What? - Only ranking will determine who survives.

- Wow. - Memory Poker will be kicked off

by the two lowest-ranked players

and will be played as a winning-streak game.

The two lowest-ranked players

will face off against the higher-ranked players

on a one-on-one basis.

You have to win your way up to survive.

Memory Poker will be the final opportunity for players to turn their fate around.

Here are the players' current rankings.

It's a match against Yi Do.

NUCKSAL, YI DO

Tied scores were broken by priority ranking.

The guys at the top are out of this entirely.

Before the game begins, we will begin the tenth selection.

If eight or more players choose the challenge method,

players in 15th and 16th place may each challenge 1 higher-ranked player

to face in the winning-streak game.

The 15th-place player will go first,

followed by the 16th-place player.

A win will advance the player one spot in the rankings.

The losing player will drop one place in the rankings,

swapping positions with the player directly below them.

After winning, the 15th- or 16th-place player

will challenge a new, higher-ranked opponent

to keep the winning-streak game going.

However, a player cannot challenge the same opponent twice.

If the challenged player wins,

they will earn one Piece.

If nine or more players choose the ladder method,

the 15th- and 16th-place players

will compete against the player ranked directly above them

in a winning-streak game.

Each win will move the player up one place,

and they will continue the winning-streak game against the player

now directly above them.

- In both methods, - That's brutal.

if the 15th- or 16th-place player loses,

their winning streak will come to an end.

If a new player drops to 15th or 16th place following a match,

they will take over as the next participant

in the winning-streak game.

Wait, then how many rounds are there?

The game will conclude when no new players

- drop to 15th or 16th place. - So we keep going?

However, if a player who previously held 15th or 16th place moved up

and then dropped back to 15th or 16th,

they will not be considered a new player.

Now, please choose either the challenge method or ladder method

using the devices.

Challenge method, obviously.

Let's choose that. Option one, right?

JOHN PARK OPTION 1: CHALLENGE

If the ladder method gets chosen, I have to play right away.

If you challenge someone, it's not like you'd know

- who you'd have a good shot against. - Challenge me.

- What? - Challenge me.

I'll let you win.

Some people might just give up because they're in last place.

But some refuse to give up, and I value that.

I think that's why I wanted to help.

- We... - We should choose option two.

Of course, option two.

- We need to choose option two. - Option two for sure. One is a no-go.

I believe most chose the ladder method

to avoid being chosen to play.

In the ladder method,

players have to work their way up one-on-one from the bottom,

so the chances of them reaching me are pretty low.

JANG DONG-MIN OPTION 2: LADDER

HONG JIN-HO OPTION 2: LADDER

OH HYUN-MIN OPTION 2: LADDER

If Dong-min loses first place, XITSUH and I would be losing our lifeline,

regardless of who Dong-min decides to save.

All players have completed their selections.

The majority of the players have chosen the ladder method.

The first match will be between

15th-place Nucksal, the challenger, and 14th-place JAE JAE.

I thought it was worth a shot.

I was in 15th place, and JAE JAE was in 14th.

I thought I had a chance as long as I remained calm.

- This is insane. - Let's both make it up there.

- Let's go. - All right.

- Anywhere but here. - Sure.

I'm at the very bottom right now, so I'm in danger.

I could really go home today.

We will now begin the first match of Memory Poker.

Okay!

Here are the cards.

Do they show the shared cards later?

They're shown later.

Right, so just these cards first.

SHARED CARDS

You have 60 seconds to place your markers on your game board.

A queen...

A four or a queen...

- Have you placed your markers? - Yes.

I have.

It is a tie.

NUCKSAL: THREE QUEENS JAE JAE: THREE QUEENS

As expected.

Not easy at all.

I memorized the cards with a Roman alphabet on them.

And the pairs, the cards with matching numbers.

Locking the pairs makes it easier.

- There were two queens, two aces, - Right.

- and three tens on the top row. - That's right.

So if you memorize the high cards first, then it becomes more manageable.

But of course...

- Can you memorize all 16 cards? - No.

No? Then just do what I told you.

Here is the next set of cards.

So you need to be looking for combos

that could actually make a hand.

SHARED CARDS

Please choose your cards by placing your markers on the game board.

Ace, king.

Hold on. Ten, ten, ace, queen, king...

Ace, queen, king...

Hold on. Did I choose the right ones?

King... Damn it.

Five, four, three, two, one.

Nucksal,

you have won with four aces.

NUCKSAL: FOUR ACES JAE JAE: FULL HOUSE, ACES

JAE JAE, please make your way to the room.

Full house!

Shoot, I forgot about the aces.

I have a good feeling about this. I'm gonna make it to the top.

JAE JAE: LOSE NUCKSAL: WIN

NUCKSAL: 14TH PLACE JAE JAE: 15TH PLACE

So is JAE JAE getting eliminated?

- No. - No, she needs to play against me first.

Then Yi Do... You haven't played yet.

- Right. - That needs to end first.

- I'll play once Nucksal's streak ends. - Right.

Nucksal, your next opponent is John Park.

- Good luck. - Please make your way to the hall.

- Hey. - John.

Welcome.

- You're good. - I'm getting confident.

Oh dear.

Seventh place was my goal. I might as well survive now.

Poker isn't key here.

Memorization is.

I felt a bit more confident since it's a memory game.

Here are the cards.

I decided to stick with my strategy.

I'm gonna memorize the best cards in the set,

like pairs and other high-value cards with Roman alphabets.

I just went through them all with the intention of memorizing all 16.

SHARED CARDS

- If that happens, things go south. - You didn't memorize the lower cards?

Since they're all low, the best I can make is a pair of jacks.

You have to memorize all

- on top of the suits. - I guess you really do need to.

Damn it.

You have 30 seconds left.

A pair of twos...

Whatever.

- Have you placed your markers? - Yes.

Yes.

John Park, you have won with two pair, fives over threes.

NUCKSAL: ACE, HIGH JOHN PARK: TWO PAIR, FIVES OVER THREES

- He memorized them all. - Nucksal, your streak has ended.

I guess this is it for me.

JOHN PARK: WIN NUCKSAL: LOSE

NUCKSAL STREAK ENDED

Yi Do, 16th-place player,

your winning-streak game will now begin.

- Good luck. - Good luck.

You will face the 15th-place player, JAE JAE.

Yi Do and JAE JAE,

please make your way to the hall.

- It's my turn now. It's a pleasure. - Yi Do.

At least I get a second try.

This is a great pleasure.

My gosh.

My brain's fried right now.

I just wanna avoid elimination.

All I want is 14th place.

Being eliminated in 16th place rather than 15th

would be just embarrassing.

So I decided to really focus this time.

Let's have a good game.

Here are the cards.

Memorizing the straight would be best in case they throw a curve.

Memorizing all 16 would be best.

SHARED CARDS

Please place your markers on your game board.

Same choices?

No, they're different.

Have you placed your markers?

Just a second.

Five, four,

- three, two, one. - Okay.

Your time is up.

JAE JAE, you have won with three sevens.

YI DO: TWO PAIR, JACKS

Well played.

Yi Do, your streak has ended.

I was trying to avoid elimination, but I failed.

I didn't achieve my goal, so I'm super disappointed.

But I wasn't unfairly eliminated or anything.

There were a lot of games today,

and I just never excelled in any of them.

So how could I not be eliminated?

So I'm disappointed, but I just have to accept it.

YI DO STREAK ENDED

ELIMINATION CONFIRMED

As the new 15th-place player, JAE JAE must continue playing.

JAE JAE's opponent is Nucksal.

- Nucksal, - How interesting.

- please make your way to the hall. - Okay.

- Again? - How fun.

- Tell me about it. - It's a real death match.

Wow.

You were good.

- Not at all. - Come on.

- You lied about having bad memory. - No, I didn't.

I mean, anyone can do at least this much.

Let's have a good game.

Let's go!

The loser of this match will be eliminated in 15th place.

If JAE JAE wins, she will continue playing.

If Nucksal wins,

Memory Poker will end with the current rankings.

Here are the cards.

It was truly a high-stakes showdown,

so I was nervous.

SHARED CARDS

Please place your markers on your game board.

You have 30 seconds left.

Hold on.

Just a second.

Six, eight, nine, six...

Nine, six, eight...

Damn it.

I'm screwed. Wait.

- Five, four, three, two, one. - Hold on. Wait, I'm royally screwed.

Your time is up.

JAE JAE, you have won with two pair, eights over fives.

JAE JAE: TWO PAIR, EIGHTS OVER FIVES NUCKSAL: ONE PAIR, SIXES

Nucksal, please make your way to the room.

I got it.

You memorized them.

I won once earlier,

so it was more disappointing.

You know, honestly,

I learned so much today.

This is a really scary place.

- This can't be right. - All the pros are in Season 3.

I hope Stella Jang and JAE JAE make it really far.

They're all great, but honestly,

I was reminded once again that when newbies team up,

veterans will put them in their place.

The world never goes easy on the newbies.

NUCKSAL: LOSE JAE JAE: WIN

JAE JAE: 14TH PLACE NUCKSAL: 15TH PLACE

NUCKSAL ELIMINATION CONFIRMED

JAE JAE, your next opponent is John Park.

- Let's have a good game. - Good luck.

- John. - Yes.

- Let's have some fun. - Let's do it.

Here are the cards.

SHARED CARDS

Please place your markers on your game board.

That's not enough. Hold on.

King, king.

Jack, queen, nine, eight,

ten, three.

You have 30 seconds left.

Hold on. Ten... Ten, three.

Damn it. What was this?

You have 20 seconds left.

Ten, three, ten...

Hold on.

Five, four, three,

- two, one. - Damn it.

Your time is up.

Jeez, what do I do now?

JAE JAE, you have won with full house, tens over aces.

JAE JAE: FULL HOUSE, TENS OVER ACES JOHN PARK: TWO PAIR, ACES OVER TEN

This is nerve-racking.

This is how I memorize door lock passcodes.

Seven, three, seven.

You do this motion with your hand.

Nine, six, eight, five. That's easy.

You get a square.

Nine, six, eight, five.

King, king.

If I spot face cards or aces in the mix,

I try to lock in their positions, especially face cards.

JOHN PARK: LOSE JAE JAE: WIN

JAE JAE: 13TH PLACE JOHN PARK: 14TH PLACE

- I think she won. - I think she did.

She's really climbing up. She's on fire.

- You never know then. - JAE JAE won?

Maybe I should be practicing.

What if she reaches me?

JAE JAE, your next opponent is Stella Jang.

Hey, I made it pretty far.

- Why are you so good? - Thank goodness.

- Seriously. - I'm just getting started.

- Let's do it. - Okay.

Here are the cards.

My strategy was to memorize

the face cards first and then memorize aces if possible.

Let me try memorizing it.

Okay.

I think I can memorize the numbers, but not the suits.

King, queen, jack, ace. King, queen, jack.

I hoped I could make it work with what I memorized.

I hoped I could make a hand with them.

SHARED CARDS

Damn it.

Please place your markers on your game board.

What is it?

Three, four, five?

Hard, isn't it?

- JAE JAE is on a roll right now. - Kind of, right?

Dang, is that right?

Have you placed your markers?

Yes.

JAE JAE, you have won with one pair, kings.

JAE JAE: ONE PAIR, KINGS STELLA JANG: NINE HIGH

Here I go.

Man, I never expected a combo of three, four, and five.

STELLA JANG: LOSE JAE JAE: WIN

JAE JAE: 12TH PLACE STELLA JANG: 13TH PLACE

- Stella lost? - Yeah.

Okay, I really need to practice.

- Oh my, she won again. - No way.

Again?

- Yeah. - She's unstoppable.

Wow, seriously?

- Amazing. - Will she get there?

- The living area? - Wow, JAE JAE.

- Her next opponent is tough though. - JAE JAE,

your next opponent

is XITSUH.

I see you're on a roll.

- Let's have some fun. - Good luck.

- Let's have a good game. - Let's.

Here are the cards.

Why are there so many queens?

Three kings as well.

SHARED CARDS

Please place your markers on your game board.

Hold on.

Ace...

- You have 20 seconds left. - Damn it.

- Five, four, three, - Hang on.

two, one.

- Wait. - Your time is up.

I can't remember.

JAE JAE,

you have won with two pair, aces over threes.

Holy crap.

- My gosh, JAE JAE! - No way.

- It's an uprising. - This is amazing.

- She won again. - What?

- XITSUH lost. - Really?

- Really? - She must have great memory.

- She's something else. - She's impressive.

Oh my gosh, I think I'm headed to the living area.

Getting the nuts isn't easy. They're not always winning with the nuts.

- I'll be back. - You need at least an ace-high or a pair.

XITSUH: LOSE JAE JAE: WIN

JAE JAE: 11TH PLACE XITSUH: 12TH PLACE

JAE JAE, your next opponent is Oh Hyun-min.

Let's go. Let's have a good game!

All right.

Here are the cards.

I'm better at memorizing numbers,

so I treated jack as one, queen as two, and king as three

to memorize them as numbers.

Jack, king...

SHARED CARDS

Please place your markers on your game board.

I'm not sure about one of the two.

It's 50-50.

- You have 30 seconds left. - Hold on.

Where was it?

Eight, two... Nine, six, eight, two.

Five, four,

- three, two, - Whatever.

- I'm not sure either. - one.

Your time is up.

Oh Hyun-min, you have won with a straight.

JAE JAE: ONE PAIR, FOURS OH HYUN-MIN: FIVE-HIGH STRAIGHT

JAE JAE, your streak has ended.

Man, I forgot.

Doing it over and over wears you out.

That concludes Either Or.

Here are the players' final rankings.

1ST: JANG DONG-MIN

Prodigy of games.

I just popped up here.

The lowest-ranked players, Nucksal and Yi Do,

are the first and second players to be eliminated from The Devil's Plan.

- Oh dear lord. - Nucksal and Yi Do,

please leave.

Oh, we go out that way?

- Good work. - Thanks.

- You did well. - Well done.

- You did great, guys. - You're escaping ahead of us.

- I'll see you soon. - I'm off.

- Thank you. - Goodbye.

- Thank you. - Oh please.

- See you out there. - See you.

- Thank you for everything. - Keep your chin up.

You're one scary dude, Dong-min.

- Goodbye. - You're like a machine.

- Goodbye. - Bye.

I never even imagined it.

I still can't believe it.

It's horrifying.

Everyone will make so much fun of me when I get back home.

The Devil's Plan definitely leaves you

wanting more at the end.

But I don't think I'd do well a second time.

I have a lot to learn.

But I'm gonna continue growing,

and one day, I'll be good enough to win.

Bye.

- Thank you. Bye, everyone. - See you.

Be well.

- Goodbye. - Take care.

That's cold.

THE DEVIL'S PLAN: DEAD AGAIN

Based on the rankings,

players in first through sixth place will go to the living area,

and players in seventh through fourteenth will go to prison.

Congratulations.

Jang Dong-min, the first-place player,

will be rewarded with an advantage, the alliance token.

He's always the one to win these things.

- He's on a different level. - I know.

Jang Dong-min, you may choose one player heading to prison

and bring them to the living area.

Jang Dong-min, who will you use the alliance token on?

That's why I wanna keep my first place.

That way, if someone I wanna work with ends up in prison, I can save them.

I've been in this spot many times before,

but I don't think I've ever felt this torn.

BEFORE MEMORY POKER

I'm in first place right now,

so I'll end up getting the alliance token.

I wanna discuss it openly.

What would be best?

The frustrating part for me

is that even though I was aware of the possibility of becoming a target,

I still gave it my all.

Unless I'm dealt a terrible hand, I guess I just have to accept it and go.

At the end of the day, it's your call.

You two obviously share a much closer bond.

And more importantly, you guys proved you have excellent chemistry.

It's only right that you do what helps you win,

and that probably means saving Hyun-min.

And I don't think

I'd be disappointed or anything.

So you can just choose whoever you want.

Can you tell us who you have in mind?

Am I one of them?

Hong Jin-ho in seventh place,

assume the push-up position.

I discussed it with them,

and I've decided to respect their wishes.

I'll give it to Oh Hyun-min.

- I'm sick of that Jang-Oh Alliance. - My goodness.

- I thought he'd choose XITSUH. - That bond is unbreakable.

I actually wanted to save XITSUH.

But I feel like both of them would come back out alive either way.

When XITSUH said what he did,

I expected Hyun-min to just volunteer to go.

But the fact that he didn't, even after what XITSUH said,

made me think that, for whatever reason, Hyun-min must not be confident today.

Oh Hyun-min will be going to the living area.

The players for both the living area and the prison have been decided.

Players will be rewarded with Pieces based on the final results.

The players who chose performance bonus in the first selection

- and managed to end up in the living area - Right, I forgot about this.

are Jang Dong-min, Yurisa, Hyun Kyung-lyul, and Oh Hyun-min.

They will all be rewarded with one Piece.

I also chose the living area, damn it.

Unbelievable.

I even got this wrong.

I'm so pissed.

You need to face reality.

I'm on the cut line.

Seriously.

The players who chose insurance payout in the first selection

and ended up in prison are Jeong Hyun-gyu, XITSUH, and Stella Jang.

They will all be rewarded with two Pieces.

Hyun-gyu, you predicted prison?

- Yes. - Really?

Now, please make your way to your respective living spaces.

Players going to prison, please head down the stairs on the left.

- Sorry. - Players going to the living area,

- Don't worry about it. - please head up the stairs on the right.

To be honest, I'm not entirely at ease.

So I'm gonna do whatever it takes to be of help to XITSUH

and to be the best teammate tomorrow.

Get some rest.

Good luck.

See you later.

Jin-ho.

Good luck.

- You're dead when I get back. - Come to your senses.

Be prepared.

Pull yourself together, Jin-ho.

Good luck.

- Get some rest. - Let's go.

- Prisoners! - Good job today!

- Let's go. - Good luck, prisoners.

- All right. - Good job, everyone.

- Bye. - For the sin of choosing the greater good.

Oh my gosh.

You must hand in your personal belongings.

They're not allowed inside.

- Is there food inside? - I don't have anything.

It's nice and cozy.

Hey, it's nice.

It's not like prisons elsewhere. It's nice.

There's even a bathroom.

Wow.

Wow.

Wow!

- What the heck? - What's that?

What?

- What? - It's all out in the open?

Oh, this is it? We're all sleeping together.

- This is nice. - Isn't it?

But there's no privacy at all.

It's just all open now.

Wait.

- What's that? - Seriously?

- What the heck? - Are they serious?

- We can see each other. - What is this?

- Come on. - We can?

- What is this? - My gosh.

It's like the last car in Snowpiercer.

Damn, this is so cruel. What on earth is this?

Damn it.

This is a bit too much. We can see them sleeping.

- Man, this is insane. - This is on a new level.

- This is something else. - This is brutal.

I don't wanna go down there.

I don't ever wanna go down there.

- This is just crazy. - I wanna live here forever.

- This is so irritating. - So annoying.

- This is like Parasite. - They can look down.

The ceiling was made of glass,

so the players in the living area said hello to us.

We looked up and said hello.

It was super annoying.

Human nature is never satisfied.

I wanna spend at least a day in the living area.

Players in prison, please change into the provided outfits.

The prison match will begin at 8:30 p.m.

Until then, spend the time as you wish.

Let's get changed first.

Prison uniform.

They even have indoor shoes.

There are T-shirts too.

There are socks in here too.

- Socks? Very good. - Nice.

- This is intense. - Wait, are we sleeping all together?

- All in one room? - Everything's here.

Then where are we supposed to scheme?

Can't we just scheme here together?

Wow, nice.

We can eat now, right?

- It's nice. - I need some water.

Me too.

- Kelly and Terra? Love those. - Thank you.

I'm starving right now.

Hey, there are snacks too.

Players in the living area, please change into the provided outfits.

- Where are they? - Where are they?

Do these come in one size?

No, there are different sizes.

This is nice.

Not bad at all.

Is that the bread we're supposed to share?

Our main meal.

Oh, it's milk.

Bread and milk? It could be worse.

The players in prison in Season 2

- just kept losing weight. - Yeah.

A serious detox.

Their faces grew more gaunt by the day.

Wow, look up there.

Look at those carts of delicious food.

What's that?

What's all that?

It's our meal.

Sweet.

That looks so tasty.

Yeah, let's eat.

I'm not jealous in the slightest.

They're eating right above our heads.

There are pig's trotters and lettuce wraps.

Pig's trotters?

You can't crave what you've never had,

but since we've gotten a taste of this, let's just stay here.

That'd be so nice.

Should we just keep this group going? It's nice.

But at least one person has to be eliminated tomorrow.

- Do you wanna go? - It's usually the one who says it.

- I'm screwed. - I said nothing.

Thank goodness I'm not down there.

- It looked like they got - Oh dear.

some rye bread and milk.

How can it taste so bland?

You get a full view of the living area when you lie down.

- Really? - That's annoying.

- They're so happily enjoying their meal. - Are they?

I just locked eyes with Dong-jae.

Dong-jae, you sent them down there, and now you're conversing with them?

My heart could still go out to them.

Spill some pig's trotters down there.

So cruel.

There has to be something here.

- But it doesn't seem like it. - Yeah.

There's nothing.

I wonder why.

Where would you even hide a device in here?

- You're right. - It's such an open space.

Last time, they had a few rooms.

Maybe we can open that floor like a window and go down.

Everyone knows

there's always a hidden stage somewhere in The Devil's Plan.

So I thought there might be something. I was on Great Escape, after all.

I have experience in digging through rooms.

I searched really hard because if anyone should find a clue, it's me.

We're just searching everywhere for the hidden stage

or just a clue about it.

It seems like everyone's eager to find something,

but we haven't found anything yet.

Look at them walking around again.

They must be searching for something.

- Maybe there's something here. - There must be, right?

I assume they hid it really well.

There's physically no space.

Nowhere to crawl into.

There must be something.

Maybe we have to tap on something for something to pop up

from inside these pipes or something.

Should we flip the mattresses over to start?

What if we do, and Pieces just spill out?

- There's nothing. - Wait, what's this?

There's nothing.

We thought there really might be something in prison.

There was no sign of any hidden mechanism whatsoever.

I guess I was a little disappointed.

I don't even have the energy to search today.

I know. Aren't you exhausted?

Why did I walk into this hell willingly?

You two are new to this, right?

- That's right. - Yes.

How could they treat all these winners like this?

The winners of Season 1 and Season 2 and The Genius are all here.

What were they thinking? I'm so mad.

I'm the only one who would get eliminated in this bunch.

Come on, we should still try our best.

I will.

Better to get it over with. Consider this your tour of prison.

The living area will be even sweeter now.

Based on what I've seen in Seasons 1 and 2,

it's hard to leave this place.

But isn't it different this time?

For all we know, the game tomorrow

- could completely turn things around. - True.

And I'm sure they also have their fair share of cracks to work on.

After all, they all chose personal gain earlier.

You think so?

Everyone here chose greater good, except Jin-ho.

The sin of choosing greater good.

Sorry, but let's not focus on a trivial matter.

Why stir up internal conflict now?

It's important.

- We trust each other... - Did anyone up there choose greater good?

- Won-young and? - Just him.

Everybody else chose personal gain.

Yeah, I should pursue my own interests too.

That's your conclusion?

Too bad we lost the 100 million won in prize money.

Tell me about it.

It's at zero now, right?

We can start earning tomorrow.

Some of us are worried about even having a tomorrow.

- We're all mentally there. - Of course.

- We're just not making it obvious. - Absolutely.

I wonder what the prison match will be.

It's the first one, so I have no clue.

I hope it's not another memory game.

What are you most confident in, XITSUH?

Freestyle rap.

- A rap battle would be nice. - I know, right?

Any kind of word game would be nice.

Stella's quite the rapper too.

- Me? - She'll take second place.

So there was a worthy rival, huh?

I should be more humble.

Oh jeez.

It's eight o'clock.

What's that?

"In a few moments..."

The prison match will begin in 30 minutes.

In today's prison match,

two players will be eliminated

- and leave The Devil's Plan. - What?

- Two people? - Two?

- Are you serious? - Two?

Two people?

The first prison match of The Devil's Plan is

Heavy 13.

What's that about?

In Heavy 13, players must use cards to add a load to each bearer's stand

but keep the total of their numbers below 13 to avoid penalty points.

Each player will be given seven rock cards numbered zero to six,

two chips each in red, green, and blue,

and one rainbow chip.

In Heavy 13,

there are three bearer stands, in red, green, and blue.

Players will take turns using rock cards and color chips

to load rocks onto the stands.

Rocks?

As Hong Jin-ho had the highest ranking in the main match,

he will start Round 1 holding the first-player marker.

Players will be given three minutes

to secretly submit one rock card and one color chip.

The color chip indicates which bearer's stand the rock will go on,

and the number on the rock card determines the weight of the rock cube to be placed.

Once submissions are complete, the color chips will be revealed first,

then the rock cards.

Based on the result,

the order in which players place their rock cubes will be determined.

Rock cubes.

We will now explain how the placement order is determined.

The players who submit their rainbow chip

will go first.

Then the player who submitted the higher-number rock card will go next.

If players have submitted rock cards with the same number,

the player holding the first-player marker will go next.

When players share the same rank under the above criteria,

order will be decided clockwise

from whoever holds the first-player marker.

Once the placement order is decided,

the dealer will place the rock cubes on the corresponding bearer's stand

based on each player's submitted color chip and rock card.

So they're taking turns stacking it.

If a player submits a rainbow chip,

they may choose whichever bearer's stand they wish.

When the rock cubes are being placed,

each player will be allowed one pass per round.

A player who passes

will have their rock cube placed last,

after all other rock cubes have been placed.

If multiple players pass,

placement will proceed in reverse order of their passes.

In other words, the first player to pass

will be last to place their rock cube.

During placement of the rock cubes,

if the sum of rock cubes on a bearer's stand

reaches 13 or more due to a newly placed cube,

all cubes on that stand will be collected,

and the player responsible will receive penalty points

equal to the number of cubes collected.

The cube that triggered the collection

will stay on the stand.

When all players have placed their cubes, the round will end,

and the last player to receive penalty points

will become the first player.

At the end of Round 7,

each player will be given another set of rock cards and color chips

with the same composition.

The rock cubes already on the bearer's stands

will not be reset at this point,

and the game will resume as is.

The game will proceed the same way up to Round 14.

Round 14?

When the game ends, final rankings will be decided

by each player's total penalty points from the collected rock cubes.

The player with the most penalty points will be ranked last.

If penalty points are tied,

the player who most recently received penalty points will be ranked lower.

As a reward, the player in first place

will receive four Pieces.

- That many? - That many?

If there is a tie for first place,

the four Pieces will be split evenly among them,

and any leftover Pieces will be discarded.

The sixth- and seventh-place players will be eliminated from The Devil's Plan.

- Four eliminations today? - Four?

The game will begin in 30 minutes.

I should've begged Dong-min.

It'll be difficult to count with seven people.

- That would be a lot to keep track of. - Yeah, for sure.

- But you're good at that. - The color chips, the cards.

Yeah, and they won't even let us write stuff down.

What's everyone's first card gonna be?

Rainbow, zero.

- That's... - Lies.

Rainbow...

- Use it when you're in danger. - That's...

- Only when you really need to use it. - Right.

So you'd use it when you've only got green and blue chips left,

but you need red.

Exactly.

It's like a Joker.

- Zero is something of a one-off relief. - It's a penalty blocker.

It's like a Joker or wild card you use to skip your turn.

You can pass?

If you use pass when you don't wanna place anything,

you get pushed all the way to the back.

And if multiple people pass,

funnily enough, the last to pass goes first.

They start again in reverse order.

So if you pass first, you actually end up placing last.

The most important thing in Heavy 13 is the rock cube placement order.

If cards and color chips are submitted as shown on screen,

the player who submitted the rainbow chip goes first.

Then, players proceed in order from the highest rock card number down.

If rock card numbers are tied,

the order is then determined clockwise from the first player.

During placement, any player may pass once.

The player who passes places their cube last.

If multiple players pass,

they place their cubes in reverse order of the original sequence.

Also, this first player keeps changing,

- and their position plays a big role too. - So true.

First player must be important.

I think we just need to try it out.

- And figure it out as we go. - Right.

You need to watch what others do

and decide on the spot.

What? Already?

- It's been 30 minutes already? - The prison match will begin shortly.

Guess it's game over for me.

All players in prison,

please make your way to the death room with your Pieces.

Let's go.

This is a really long corridor.

Something feels off.

It's so pretty.

Welcome.

This is the death room, where all prison matches will be held.

The moment I walked in...

With my life at stake, I couldn't help but feel intimidated.

It was quite overwhelming.

It was surrounded by mirrors.

- Do we just stand here? - I think so?

Can we take any spot?

Take any spot you wish.

- Really? - Is that right?

I thought that luck would matter as much as the moves I make,

and that I actually might survive this.

It gets real from that point.

You think, "As long as it's not me,"

but then realize, "Wait, could it be me?"

Someone has to leave.

Two, actually.

I'm confident that I'm not gonna be in the bottom two.

It's totally different.

The contestants' energy is different.

They adjusted so quickly too.

There are so many strong competitors here,

so I'm gonna stay humble and do my best to avoid being eliminated.

They've gathered all the veterans of survival games here.

This is so annoying.

We will now begin the first prison match, Heavy 13.

I'm scared. I hate this.

- Oh no. - What is that?

- This is insane. - Is that a person?

This is how it's gonna be?

What is all this?

When does it end?

I really hate stuff like this.

What is all this?

This is insane.

- We need to see what it is. - It's so fishy.
